MICROBIAL COMMUNITY DYNAMICS AND ACTIVITY IN CONSTRUCTED WETLAND TREATING AGRO-INDUSTRIAL AND DOMESTIC WASTEWATER: A REVIEW

This study reviews the microbial techniques and microbial population responsible for the removal of organic matter and nutrients in constructed wetlands (CWs). In addition, it aims to analyze the effect of presence and absence of macrophytes and identify major phenomena that affect microbial community dynamics as well as compares performance efficiency of CW types. Removal of particular pollutants in each CWs type was mainly related with a particular microbial functional group. In CWs the dominant bacterial groups were α, β, and γ Proteobacteria (Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes groups). Microbial dynamics in subsurface flow are more diverse than in surface flow. Diverse and distinct bacterial community inhabits each CW type where different gradients create variable niches in which different biochemical processes take place. Vertical flow CWs favor aerobic microbes and have higher removal efficiency for Organic Carbon and ammonium, while HSSF systems favor anoxic and anaerobic microbes. Therefore, use of hybrid CWs, design and operational methodologies that enhance the activity of the targeted group would better optimize performance. CWs with plant species have higher microbial density and activities than unplanted. The interaction between plant roots, microorganisms and substrates, along the operation time, might have contributed to the establishment of diverse assemblages of microbes CW system.
Mobile Health (mHealth) in the Developing World: Two Decades of Progress or Retrogression

The term “mHealth” was first coined in 2003 by Istepanian, followed by the first definition of the concept as mobile computing, medical sensor and communications technologies for healthcare. The introduction of mobile health was also represented by three basic building blocks: computing, communications, and sensing as shown in Figure 1. The details of these building blocks and the recent developments associated with each one of these pillars have been described. As shown in Figure 2, mHealth is widely recognised as the fourth domain of the ICT for health domains that include telemedicine, telehealth, eHealth, and mHealth. The premise of this taxonomy is that these terms are not interchangeable Figure 1. The basic building blocks of mobile Health (mHealth). Abstract Mobile healthcare, or mHealth, is one of the key pillars of information and communication technologies for healthcare that consists of telemedicine, telehealth, eHealth, and mHealth. In the past two decades, mobile health has become a transformative concept for healthcare delivery innovations on a global scale. The success was based on the market-driven strategies that utilised the advances in mobile communications, computing, and sensor technologies, especially in recent years. Those market-driven mobile health systems were also closely associated with the global proliferation of smartphones, and based on the correlated usage principle of the smartphone applications for healthcare and wellbeing. However, the global commercial success of the smartphone-based mHealth model was not widely translated into successful scaled-up and tangible healthcare benefits, especially in lowand-middle income countries, compared to the consumer mobile health markets. The numerous healthcare challenges in the developing world remained largely untackled by the existing mobile health systems and models. The much-hyped transformative benefits of these systems remain largely unfulfilled. For two decades since the inception of this concept, the majority of the population in resource-limited healthcare settings still remain in poorer health and live in worsened conditions, with limited if any access to basic healthcare services. The much-hyped mobile health services that promised transforming these fragile and limited healthcare conditions, did not come to wider fruition globally. The COVID-19 pandemic, with its devastating human and economic impact worsened this status. An overview of the origin and the basic principles of mobile health, its current landscape and status in the developing world is presented. The impact of the smartphone-centric model that dominated the landscape of mobile health systems in these countries is discussed, and a critical view on the limitation of this mobile health model adopted widely in these settings is provided.
Why Are You My Mother? : Using Family Trees to Probe Knowledge Graph Prediction Explanations

While there are a plethora of methods for link prediction in knowledge graphs, state-of-the-art approaches are often black box, obfuscating model reasoning and thereby limiting the ability of users to make informed decisions about model predictions. Recently, methods have emerged to generate prediction explanations for Knowledge Graph Embedding models, a widely-used class of methods for link prediction. The question then becomes, how well do these explanation systems work? To date this has generally been addressed anecdotally, or through time-consuming user research. In this work, we present an in-depth exploration of a simple link prediction explanation method we call PathLogic, that surfaces and ranks explanatory information used for the prediction. Importantly, we construct the ﬁrst-ever link prediction explanation benchmark, based on family structures present in the FB13 dataset. We demonstrate the use of this benchmark as a rich evaluation sandbox, probing PathLogic quantitatively and qualitatively to assess the ﬁdelity, selectivity and relevance of the generated explanations. We hope our work paves the way for more holistic and empirical assessment of knowledge graph prediction explanation methods in the future.
Synthesis and application of cationised cellulose for removal of Cr(VI) from acid mine-drainage contaminated water [version 1; peer review: 4 approved]

Background: Acid mine drainage (AMD) leads to contamination of surface and ground water by high levels of toxic metals including chromium. In many cases, these waters are sources of drinking water for communities, and treatment is therefore required before consumption to prevent negative health effects. Methods: Cationised hemp cellulose was prepared by etherification with two quaternary ammonium salts: 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTAC) and glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTMAC) and examined for (i) the efficiency of Cr(VI) removal under acid mine-drainage (AMD) conditions, and (ii) antibacterial activity. Adsorbents were characterised by electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), CP-MAS 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, elemental composition and surface charge. Results: FTIR and solid state 13C NMR confirmed the introduction of quaternary ammonium moieties on cellulose. 13C NMR also showed that cationisation decreased the degree of crystallisation and lateral dimensions of cellulose fibrils. Nevertheless, 47 % 72 % of Cr(VI) ions were removed from solutions at pH 4, by 0.1 g of CHPTAC and GTMACcationised cellulose, respectively. Adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second order model and isotherms were best described by the Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich models. When GTMACmodified cellulose was applied to AMD contaminated water (pH 2.7); however, Cr(VI) removal decreased to 22% likely due to competition from Al and Fe ions. Cationised materials displayed considerable antibacterial effects, reducing the viability of Escherichia coli by up to Open Peer Review
Impact of Smokeless Tobacco use among the women’s health in the selected old town of Bangladesh

Purpose: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to find out the impact of Smokeless Tobacco (SLT) use among the women’s health in the selected old town of Bangladesh. Methods: About 105 women using Smokeless Tobacco (SLT) were collected by a structured pretested face to face questionnaire under purposive sampling technique during April to June 2012.Data were presented in graphical and tabular pattern whereas analysis was done by SPSS (statistical package for the social sciences) version-17. Results: Among the 105 respondents, majority 63% were housewives and only 1.9% was service holder. The duration of using smokeless tobacco (SLT) with betel leaf was 48.4% who were using Sadapata for more than 10 years. In addition, 36.6%, 52.6%, 38.8% smokeless tobacco (SLT) uses Zarda, gul and khaini for 5 years. The reason behind using smokeless tobacco (SLT) was stated as fun by 40% respondents. Almost 68.6 % respondents think smokeless tobacco (SLT) do not cause any harm in the oral cavity while only 31.4 % stated smokeless tobacco (SLT) cause harm in the oral cavity. There was significant association between occupation and regular use of smokeless tobacco (SLT) (p < 0.05). Finally, among the smokeless tobacco (SLT)-Zarda was mostly used by the women which is harmful for general health and oral health. Conclusion: Finally considering the harmful impact with its consequences smokeless tobacco (SLT) use which was unfortunately unknown and unaware by the general population mostly women. It was reflected in my research about 63% user were housewives. So, it is necessary to implement a very strong comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system both national and international region to stop the use of smokeless tobacco by involving government, nongovernment policy makers immediately. Now it is the time to realize in a true sense by our local political personnel and government to make emergency step and making network system so that we can make slogan Banning of Smokeless Tobacco (SLT) at national and international level around the world.
Severe Hematuria in the Recurrent Benign Hyperplastic Prostate: Underlying Pathology

Objective: To investigate the underlying morphology and pathology of severe hematuria in recurrent prostatic hyperplasia. Methods: We reviewed records for 801 primary BPH patients and 57 recurrent BPH patients. We collected prostate tissues from 29 patients who accepted TURP twice for BPH and collected intraoperative images to compare the proportion of the prostatic epithelium, glandular lumen, smooth muscle and micro-vessel density between primary and recurrent BPH tissues. Results: Severe hematuria is the main reason for hospitalization in patients with recurrent BPH, accounting for approximately 45.61%. In the primary BPH group, the average proportions of the prostatic epithelium, glandular lumen, and smooth muscle were 18.4% ± 13.2%, 9.3% ± 3.5%, and 35.7% ± 15.2%, respectively, and the average proportions of those in the recurrent BPH group were 16.4% ± 8.5%, 8.6% ± 3.3%, and 29.7% ± 12.2%. The proportion of smooth muscle was lower than that of the primary BPH group (P<0.05). The MVD value was higher in the recurrent BPH group than in the primary BPH group (27.5 ± 9.3) (P<0.05). Conclusion: The general appearance of the recurrent hyperplastic prostate was irregular nodular hyperplasia, and the surface bled easily. Recurrent hyperplastic adenomas with a higher MVD and thinner blood vessel walls may also be more likely to bleed.

Serum mineral reference values of clinically healthy athlete Brazilian four-beat gaited horses

Little is known about the serum mineral profiles of Brazilian four-beat gaited horses, and this information could be used to improve their nutritional and exercise evaluation programs. This study aimed to determine the mineral values of athlete Campolina and Mangalarga Marchador horses performing two different gait types. One hundred adult horses (7 ± 3 yr and 432 ± 59 kg; mean ± SD) were grouped as follows: 25 batida gait Campolinas (CAMPb), 25 picada gait Campolinas (CAMPp), 25 batida gait Mangalarga Marchadors (MMb), and 25 picada gait Mangalarga Marchadors (MMp). They were fed fresh elephant grass (15 20 kg as-fed/day) and commercial concentrate (5 7 kg as-fed/day) as well as commercial mineral salt and water ad libitum. Horses were exercised three times a week (~40 – 50 min/day), and ~60% of the exercise comprised a speed session ranging from 3.0 to 4.0 m/s. Blood samples were collected after 12 h feed fasting and at least 24 h after exercise. Mineral concentrations were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey’s test (p ≤ 0.05). No breed or gait effects were observed (p > 0.05) on serum levels of chloride, potassium, sodium, magnesium, iron, and selenium. There was a breed by gait effect (p < 0.05) on calcium and phosphorus levels. Lower calcium levels were found in MMb (2.13 ± 0.02 mmol/L, p < 0.0032), while lower phosphorus levels were found in MMp (1.43 ± 0.02 mmol/L, p < 0.0005). The mineral values provided by the current study serve as reference values and are useful in the improvement nutritional and exercise evaluation programs of athlete four-beat gaited horses.
Cooperative Profile Guided Optimizations

Existing feedback‐driven optimization frameworks are not suitable for video games, which tend to push the limits of performance of gaming platforms and have real‐time constraints that preclude all but the simplest execution profiling. While Profile Guided Optimization (PGO) is a well‐established optimization approach, existing PGO techniques are ill‐suited for games for a number of reasons, particularly because heavyweight profiling makes interactive applications unresponsive. Adaptive optimization frameworks continually collect metrics that guide code specialization optimizations during program execution but have similarly high overheads. We emulate a system, which we call Cooperative PGO, in which the gaming platform collects piecemeal profiles by sampling in both time and space during actual gameplay across many users; stitches the piecemeal profiles together statistically; and creates policies to guide future gameplay. We introduce a three‐level hierarchical profiler that is well‐suited to graphics APIs, that commonly operates with no overhead and occasionally introduces an average overhead of less than 0.5% during periods of active profiling. This paper examines the practicality of Cooperative PGO using three PGOs as case studies. A PGO that exploits likely zeros is particularly effective, achieving an average speedup of 5%, with a maximum speedup of 15%, over a highly‐tuned baseline.
Short-term prediction of traffic state, statistical approach versus machine learning approach

Traffic short-term prediction helps intelligent transportation systems manage future travel demand. The objective of this paper is to predict the traffic state for Karaj to Chaloos, a suburban road in Iran. For this, two approaches, statistical and machine learning are investigated. We evaluate the performance of the multinomial logit model, the support vector machine, and the deep neural network as two machine learning techniques. The principal component analysis is used to reduce the dimension of the data in order to use the MNL model. SVM and DNN predict traffic state using both primary and reduced datasets (ALL and PCA). MNL can be used not only to compare the accuracy of models but also to estimate their explanatory power. SVM employing primarily datasets outperforms other models by 79% accuracy. Next, the prediction accuracy for SVM-PCA, MNL, DNN-PCA, and DNN-ALL are equal to 78%, 73%, 68%, and 67%. SVM-ALL has better performance for predicting light, heavy, and blockage states, while the semi-heavy state is predicted more accurately by MNL. Using the PCA dataset increases the accuracy of DNN but decreases SVM accuracy by 1%. More precision is achieved for the first three months of testing compared to the second three months.
Study of Pb(II) Effect on Electrosynthesis of Lead Dioxide in More Environmentally Electrolyte of Methanesulfonic Acid

Lead dioxide has received much attention as an electrode material for its high resistance to corrosion, high electronic conductivity, good stability, long lifetime, and low cost. However, problems still exist concerning the selection of the electrolyte during electrodeposition, which may cause issues in energy conservation and environmental protection. The present study utilized the environmentally friendly electrolyte methanesulonic acid (MSA) and evaluated the effect of the Pb(II) concentration on the electrodeposition of lead dioxide in MSA using rotating disk electrode (RDE) voltammetry to determine the most suitable composition of the electrodeposition bath and to realize an environmentally and energy friendly process. We adequately characterised PbO2 synthesized on a Pt electrode surface, and the results showed that the Pb(II) concentration had a great influence on the electrodeposition of lead dioxide in MSA. By controlling the composition of the electrodeposition bath to 0.2 M Pb(II) and 0.1 M MSA, we obtained an optimal reversible process, longer electrode lifetime and more satisfactory environmental protection.
Slaying the Hydra: Integrative Wellness Training Affects Ten Complementary Measures of Stress

The stress someone experiences is influenced by their health, relationships, emotions, habitual patterns of thought, and dozens of other factors. Stress also has wide-ranging consequences on a person’s body, mind, and relationships. This complexity suggests that dramatic and sustainable reductions in stress may require an approach that effectively addresses numerous underlying causes simultaneously. Similarly, reductions in stress may be most meaningfully characterized when several complementary markers of stress are measured in parallel. The present randomized, controlled investigation examined changes in ten complementary measures of stress reduction among healthy young adults completing an integrative mindfulness-based health and wellness program. Substantial reductions in stress were observed across subjective, behavioral, neuroendocrine, neural, genomic, and third-party ratings of stress. Additionally, perceived stress and social anxiety were examined at a six-week longitudinal follow-up and revealed that the reductions in stress were not only enduring but continued to improve after the intervention ended.
Enzymatic Synthesis of Human Milk Fat Substitute - A Review on Technological Approaches

SUMMARY Human milk fat substitute (HMFS) is a structured lipid designed to resemble human milk fat. It contains 60-70% palmitic acid at the sn-2 position and unsaturated fatty acids at the sn-1,3 positions in triacylglycerol structures. HMFS is synthesized by the enzymatic interesterification of vegetable oils, animal fats or a blend of oils. The efficiency of HMFS synthesis can be enhanced through the selection of appropriate substrates, enzymes and reaction methods. This review focuses on the synthesis of HMFS by lipase-catalyzed interesterification and provides a detailed overview of biocatalysts, substrates, synthesis methods, factors influencing the synthesis and purification process for HMFS production. Major challenges and future research in the synthesis of HMFS are also discussed. This review can be used as an information for developing future strategies in producing HMFS.
Effect of bench press at a specified movement tempo on post-exercise testosterone and cortisol levels

Body response is a key element of the periodization of any training unit. The main control systems in the human body are the nervous and endocrine systems. The study aims to examine the effect of bench press at a specified movement tempo on post-exercise blood testosterone and cortisol levels. The study involved 16 men (experience in resistance training 5.5 ± 1.3 years, aged 24 ± 2 years, body weight 86.1 ± 7.2 kg, and 1RM 125 ± 17 kg). The first stage of the test focused on determining the maximum force based on a single bench press with the highest possible external load (1RM). The second stage included the main test, i.e. bench press. The participants were asked to perform 5 sets successively, with an external load of 70% of an individual 1RM and as many repetitions as possible. The tempo of the exercise was precisely specified. The metronome was used to set a bench press tempo. The movement tempo included time under tension (TUT) 2/0/2/0. TUT means the total time of muscle tension during one repetition. The tests showed significant changes in cortisol levels recorded 30 minutes after exercise, amounting to 13.75 (±4.60) at F=9.16 and p=0.006. and 60 minutes after exercise, amounting to 11.37 (±4.17) at F=19.46 and p=0.0002. No significant statistical values were found for testosterone levels. This study brings additional evidence of the importance of hormonal responses in muscle strength training.
