What's up with catch-up?: No evidence of population-level catch-up growth in children under 5 years of age when using height-for-age difference (HAD) instead of height-for-age z-sc... by Leroy, Jef L., Ruel, Marie T., Habicht, Jean-Pierre, Frongillo, Edward A.

“…We assessed whether population‐level catch‐up growth is found when height‐for‐age difference (HAD; child's height compared to standard in cm) is used instead of HAZ.Using data from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Young Lives (YL), and the Consortium on Health‐Oriented Research in Transitional Societies (COHORTS), we compared changes in HAD and HAZ in populations of children between 2 and 5 y. …”

Nitrogenneutrality: a step towards sustainability by Leip, A., Leach, A., Musinguzi, P., Tumwesigye, T., Olupot, G., Tenywa, J.S., Mudiope, J., Hutton, O., Cordovil, C.M., Bekunda, Mateete A., Galloway, J.

“…We propose a novel indicator measuring one dimension of the sustainability of an entity in modern societies: Nitrogen-neutrality. N-neutrality strives to offset Nr releases an entity exerts on the environment from the release of reactive nitrogen (Nr) to the environment by reducing it and by offsetting the Nr releases elsewhere. …”
