COAST: A Comprehensive Older-Adult Screening Tool

Nutrition risk screening is a first step to quickly identify individuals who might be malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. A malnutrition screening tool should be easy to use, quick to administer, and valid—able to correctly identify those at risk of malnutrition. The Comprehensive Older Adult Screening Tool (COAST) is a valid and practical tool to determine if community-dwelling older adults, specifically older adults of lower socioeconomic status, are at risk for malnutrition. This new 6-page publication of the UF/IFAS Food Science and Human Nutrition Department, written by Karima Alabasi, Nancy J. Gal, and Wendy J. Dahl, provides an introduction to COAST as well as the 5-question screening tool.

COAST-ES: Herramienta integral de tamizaje para adultos mayores

El tamizaje (cribado) del riesgo nutricional es un primer paso para identificar rápidamente a las personas que pueden estar desnutridas o en riesgo de desnutrición. Una herramienta de tamizaje de detección de desnutrición debe ser fácil de usar, rápida de administrar y válida para poder identificar correctamente a las personas en riesgo de desnutrición. La Herramienta Integral de Tamizaje de Adultos Mayores (COAST, por sus siglas en inglés) es una herramienta váida y práctica para determinar si los adultos mayores que viven en la comunidad están en riesgo de desnutrición.

Icebreakers for Adults

Building rapport is key when creating a team culture. As groups change over time, it is imperative to continually reintroduce and reacclimate new team members to long-standing teammates. Leaders of groups that undergo constant change, like those whose jobs involve volunteers, may find it challenging to find innovative ways to bring people together. Icebreakers are quick, low- or no-cost activities that allow individuals to get to know the people around them and serve as a means to build trust and openness in a low-stakes environment. This new 3-page publication of the UF/IFAS Department of Agricultural Education and Communication outlines strategies to use when building a team culture and gives examples of simple activities to build cultures within teams or groups. Written by Megan Stein and Taylor Nash.

An Overview of Key Soil Nitrogen Cycling Transformations

Although nitrogen (N) is one of the most abundant elements in the biosphere, it is generally at levels that are limiting for optimum plant growth and crop production in Florida soils. To maintain adequate N levels in Florida soils without having detrimental environmental side effects, one must understand and manage N cycling transformations and processes. This new 5-page article, published by the UF/IFAS Department of Soil and Water Sciences, provides an overview of the N cycle by describing key N transformations that result in soils gaining or losing N. The biotic and abiotic processes that govern these transformations are described, as well as practical examples of these transformations in Florida soils. Written by Clayton J. Nevins, Sarah L. Strauss, and Patrick Inglett.

Jere COVID-19: Pwodwi jaden ak izin anbalaj yo

Pandan ke pa gen prèv ki asosye viris COVID-19 la a yon pwoblèm sekirite alimantè, li se yon pwoblèm sante pou travayè yo paske li pwopaje l pa kontak moun ak moun oswa lè w manyen yon sifas ki kontamine. Manje pa parèt tankou yon kòz ki favorize transmisyon COVID-19 la, men menm pratik yo itilize pou evite maladi ou ka pran nan manje, menm pratik sa yo ta dwe itilize pou diminye chans kontaminasyon COVID-19 la nan nan pwodwi alimentè ki fre yo epi risk pou COVID-19 ta simaye l pami travayè agrikòl yo ak sa kap travay nan izin anbalaj yo.

Sekirite alimante ak COVID-19 : Kesyon yo poze souvan : Eske kowona viris se yon pwoblem nan pwodiksyon fwi ak legim

Nan moman sa a, CDC, FDA ak USDA pa rapòte okenn ka maladi ki ta sigjere kowona viris la ka transmèt sòti nan manje oswa nan anbalaj pwodwi alimantè. Rechèch ki fèt sou viris ki menm jan an tankou SARS ak grip montre risk transmisyon viris la pou l ta sòti nan yon manje fèb anpil. Pandan ke pa gen anpil enfòmasyon sou ki kantite tan viris la ka fè sou yon sifas, risk pou transmisyon an ta sòti nan yon manje fèb epi li pa ta dwe enkyete nou.

COVID-19 mezi prevantif: mas an twal pou anplwaye ki nan sekte alimante

Daprè CDC, yon metòd efikas pou kwape pwopagasyon maladi enfektye sa a se lè w kouvri visaj ou ak yon twal oswa w mete yon mas an twal. Yo itilize mas an twal yo pou kouvri bouch ak nen yon moun ki enfekte oswa ki ta ka enfekte si l pran viris la lè yon moun ap touse, estènen oswa nan yon konvèsasyon nòmal. Mas an twal yo bay bon jan pwoteksyon si yo 1) bon kalite 2) mete yo byen 3) sèvi ak yo byen. Lè w mete yon mas an twal, li ka diminye ris men li pa bay yon pwoteksyon total kapital. Nou dwe swiv lòt metòd pou diminye ris yo tankou: pa rete pre yonn ak lòt, lave men nou, itilize sanitzè/dezenfektan pou men epi evite manyen je w, nen w ak bouch ou.
