The need to make more accurate grain demand (GD) forecasting has become a major topic in the current international security discussion. Our research aims improve short-term GD prediction by establishing multi-factor model that integrates key factors: shifts dietary structures, population size and age structure, urbanization, food waste, impact of COVID-19. These factors were not considered simultaneously previous research. To illustrate model, we projected China's annual GDP from 2022 2025. We calibrated parameters such as conversion coefficients animal foods feed grain, standard person consumption ratios, using latest surveys statistical data either out date or missing Results indicate if change diets continued at rate observed during 2013-2019 (scenario 1), is be 629.35 million tons 658.16 However, shift align with recommendations Dietary Guideline for Chinese Residents 2), would lower 5.9-11.1% annually compared scenario 1.

Background: Myopia (also known as nearsightedness), a prevalent refractive error, occurs when parallel rays of light converge in front the retina, resulting blurry distance vision. Recently, there has been marked rise myopia among global population. The absence effective methods controlling progression this visual defect prompts search for new preventive and therapeutic options. impact diet lifestyle on is still not fully understood. Therefore, our aim was to examine how these factors might affect advancement myopia, based existing literature. Methods: This manuscript prepared through an extensive literature review conducted from June 2022 September 2024. We searched pertinent research articles using reputable databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web Science. included all types publications, with special focus newest ones. Results: Despite far-reaching examination, relationship between control remains inconclusive varying degrees evidence supporting their roles. Conclusions: However, promoting healthy lifestyle, particularly increasing physical activity outdoor time, essential.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and safety of a modified dual-incision ophthalmic viscosurgical device-free (OVD-free) method for implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation in high myopic eyes. Methods: A total 68 participants were enrolled this prospective randomized clinical trial, including 33 OVD-free group 35 standard group. Operation time intraocular pressure (IOP) at 2 hours postoperatively recorded. Visual acuity, refractive power, IOP, corneal endothelium parameters, anterior segment parameters assessed 1 day, week, month, 3 months, 6 months postoperatively. Postoperative subjective visual quality was recorded through Quality Vision (QoV) questionnaire. Results: No significant differences outcomes, endothelial found, while operation significantly shorter Both groups showed increase IOP after surgery, but smaller than that In addition, frequency ring-shaped dysphotopsia (15.15%) lower (40%), severity annoyance symptom also Conclusion: The ICL is safe, effective, predictable myopia correction, which could be better choice short surgery time, perception, low occurrence elevation.

Background The association between the rapid increase in myopia among adolescents and amount of outdoor artificial light at night (ALAN) remains unclear. aim this study was to investigate ALAN adolescents. Methods Stratified cluster random sampling used obtain a sample 33,160 students (age range: 9–18 years; mean: 13.51 years) with complete data from 120 primary secondary schools across Ningxia region China 2021. Myopia defined as spherical equivalent (SE) ≤−0.5 diopters (D) least one eye, determined by automated refractometers without cycloplegia. Outdoor were obtained satellite two-year average exposure for each participant matching it their school address (home addresses not available). assessed using multiple logistic regression models restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression. analyses performed age, sex, residence, level, exercise time. Results group had higher levels than non-myopia [median (interquartile spacing): 14.44 (3.88–26.56) vs. 6.95 (1.21–21.74) nanoWatts/cm 2 /sr]. After adjusting covariates identified through stepwise regression, observed that prevalence increased 4% every 10-unit change [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02–1.07]. Compared first quantile (Q1) exposure, odds ratio (OR) 1.20 (95% CI: 1.08–1.34) fourth quantile. RCS further showed positive nonlinear relationship ( p &lt;0.001).
