Published: January 2023

The recovery of metals from the cathode material or used lithium-ion batteries is of both environmental and economic importance. In this study, stepwise precipitation by acid leaching was used to separate and recover lithium, iron, and manganese from the mixed LiFePO4/LiMn2O4 cathode material. The thermodynamic properties of the lithium, iron, and manganese metal phases, especially the stability range, were analyzed using Eh-pH diagrams. The leaching system with sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide released Fe3+, Mn2+, and Li+ ions from the cathode material. Fe3+ in the leaching solution was precipitated as Fe(OH)3 and finally recovered as Fe2O3 after calcination. Mn2+ in the leaching solution was recovered as MnCO3. The remaining Li+-rich solution was evaporated and crystallized into Li2CO3. The purity of the recycled MnCO3 and Li2CO3 met the standard of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. XRD and XPS analysis showed that the main phase in the leaching residue was FePO4. This process can be used to separate and recover metals from mixed waste lithium-ion battery cathode materials, and it also provides raw materials for the preparation of lithium-ion battery cathode materials.

Assessing the impact of tablet manufacturing on the viability and functionality of the LAB4® probiotic consortium
Authors:   , Allen Martyn
Published: January 2023

As defined by the WHO, probiotics are live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host (WHO, 2002). Commonly, the target site for probiotic bacteria is the gastrointestinal system, and in particular, the epithelial layer of the large and small intestines. The oral delivery route is often preferred as a less-invasive, low cost and high patient compliant method. Previously, probiotics and other beneficial organisms were commonly delivered through liquid and semi-solid (i.e. yogurt, milk and other dairy) products - however, these have been shown to lack temporal stability and consumer acceptability. More recently, lyophilisation techniques have allowed freeze-dried probiotics to be included into solid dosage formats that include directly compressed tablets. Probiotic bacteria are often selected based on their ability to exert [often strain-specific] effects on the host - the functionality of which is often assessed as the native strain. Recent work has shown that the influence of exogenous stressors introduced during stages of manufacturing have the ability to affect both viability and functionality, which constitutes an economic burden on the manufacturers of probiotic supplements who need to guarantee both viable number and functionality. Using both culture-dependant and independent techniques, this thesis shows that the manufacturing processes of tabletting induces a loss of viability of the Lab4® probiotic consortium in a control formulation. However, using in vitro and cell-based models, this piece of work has shown that the tabletting manufacturing processes does not affect some of the desirable functionalities of the probiotic when compared to the un-processed, control formulation. Pressure-dependant studies subsequently highlighted the causation between tablet compaction pressure and bacterial viability. Following this, optimisation work to improve tabletability and reduce the required compaction pressure was undertaken utilising both machining and formulation parameters. Results showed that optimisation of the control formulation and machining parameters were able to elicit greater bacterial recovery values without compromising on tablet integrity. The results from this Eng.D. can be seen as highly pertinent to the successful design and production of probiotic solid dosage formats, especially tablets. The results from which highlight the impact of tablet manufacturing methods on probiotic viability and functionality, therefore can be utilised to improve the probiotic product whilst also reducing costs through a reduced need to have large overages in bacterial additions to account for the previous losses that occur during tabletting.

Authors: Piña Arellano Nora Anai
Published: January 2023

Este es un estudio sobre la deserción escolar en el Plantel VI de la Unidad Académica Preparatoria de la Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas (UAPUAZ). El estudio se realizó con los alumnos de la generación 2016-2019, desde el momento que se inscribieron a primer semestre hasta que cursaron el cuarto semestre. El objetivo general fue conocer los factores que determinaron la deserción escolar de algunos de los integrantes de dicha generación 2016-2019. El diseño de la investigación fue mixto. Los resultados mostraron que de los 103 jóvenes que ingresaron al Plantel VI en el año 2016, solo 77 estudiantes la concluyeron en el año 2019; nueve más concluyó la preparatoria en otro año o plantel, el resto desertó. La situación socioeconómica y lo académico-administrativo influyeron en los adolescentes que desertaron. El contexto social dominó desfavorablemente en el progreso educativo y cultural de los estudiantes del Plantel VI. Los adolescentes desertores no se desprendieron de los patrones familiares. Asimismo, no se les ofreció una educación orientada a satisfacer sus intereses y necesidades. La deserción escolar fue multifactorial, agravada por el contexto. Los desertores dejaron de estudiar por las condiciones económicas en las que vivían, por la delincuencia, embarazos prematuros y una enseñanza tradicional desfasada de la realidad.

Amla (Phyllanthus emblica) seeds have only been disposed of as waste and have not been utilized optimally. Utilizing the seeds to produce oil has been regarded as a promising approach for reducing solid wastes and producing value-added products. This study evaluated the effect of solid to solvent ratio and extraction time on yield, phytochemical content and physicochemical of oil extracted from amla seed using hexane as a solvent. The amla seed oil was extracted through the solid-liquid process at different solid to solvent ratios (1:20, 1:25 and 1:30 g/mL) and extraction times (30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes). The highest yield found was 10.97% at a solid to solvent ratio of 1:30 (g/mL) and an extraction time of 120 minutes. The highest concentrations of phenolic compounds and flavonoids were 66.12 mg GAE/g and 95.70 mg QE/g respectively, obtained at a solid to solvent ratio of 1:25 (g/mL) and extraction time of 120 minutes. Physicochemical analysis (pH, density, acid number, free fatty acid, and peroxide number) showed that the quality of extracted oil was better than what the previous study reported. In the amla seed oil, the content of unsaturated fatty acids was higher than saturated fatty acids with linoleate as the main component. These results clarified that solid-liquid extraction method can be used for extracting amla seed oil and also indicated that amla seed oil can be used as an ingredient in health-related industry products.

Published: January 2023

Mercury is harmful to humans and the ecological environment. The adsorption process is known as an effective method for removing heavy metals. This research is devoted to developing new adsorbents based on carbon materials to remove metal ions Hg(II) with carbon-based monolith adsorbents without and with manganese oxide fillers (KM and KMM). The results of adsorption efficiency, adsorption kinetics, and isotherm models were made in a batch system with varying concentrations of mercury solution from 2 mg/L to 6 mg/L with adsorbents without and with manganese oxide fillers (KM and KMM). The highest removal efficiency reached 96% on KMM and 47% on KM. The adsorption isotherm of Hg(II) ions corresponds to the Freundlich model, with intensity and volume constants obtained respectively 0.042 and 1.347 L/mg on KM adsorbents, while on KMM adsorbents the intensity and volume constants obtained are 0.291 and 2.079, respectively. L/mg. These results indicate that physical adsorption occurs more dominantly than chemical adsorption. The adsorption of Hg(II) ions was in accordance with the pseudo-first-order adsorption kinetics, with the adsorption capacity and rate constant on the KM adsorbent obtained were 0.0505 mg/g and 0.0072 g/mg, while the adsorption capacity and rate constant for the KMM adsorbent were on KM adsorbents obtained were 0.0848 mg/g and 0.0239 g/mg.

Published: January 2023

Bali has economic potential and experiences a demographic bonus earlier with a duration longer than the national one. However, the requirements for utilizing the demographic’s bonuses as an engine of economic growth do not carry out optimally. This condition is due to the unpreparedness of the community to provide skilled, educated, and technologically skilled workers. Though Human investment is long-term, the bonus demographics are not yet ready to be optimized. This research model uses multiple linear regression analysis with four independent variables, population growth rate, number of unemployed, dependency ratio, and Gini Ratio. The regression results show that all independent variables are related to the hypothesis. The relationship and level of significance concluded that the demographic transition in Bali provided a bonus for economic growth in the region.
Adapting Selection Schemes for Indigenous Cattle Improvement in Sub-Saharan Africa-A Review
Authors: Chasama Godfrey L. , Katandukila Jestina V. , Hepelwa Aloyce
Published: January 2023

Livestock keeping is an important livelihood option in the tropics and cattle play the major role. For sub-Saharan Africa, most of the cattle kept are of indigenous type exhibiting low to medium production coefficients. After realizing low impact with crossbreeding in improving their productivity during the first three quarters of the 20th century, many sub-Saharan Africa countries turned to adoption of selection schemes during the last quarter of the century. However, many countries still haven’t realized active operation of selection schemes for indigenous breeds improvement. Major constraints are unsustainable financing, weak coordination, inadequate policy support and weak technical foundation for animal breeding. Existing infrastructure networks are not supporting extensive operation of selective breeding. Systematized pedigree and performance data recording is lacking in many countries. Important guidelines for streamlining implementation of breeding operations among actors are not in place. Strategies for adapting selection schemes in sub-Saharan Africa should target exploitation of unique potentials of indigenous breeds and focus to the improvement of their productivity while also maintaining their adaptability. From the prevailing conditions, considering immediate transformation to farmer-operated central nuclei is not recommended in structuring the scheme. What is recommended is to start with dispersed village-based group pre-nuclei which are backed by institutional central nuclei. Important strategies in enabling effective operation with such structured schemes include evolving guidelines for implementing selection in terms of defining breeding objectives, increasing involvement of farmers, strengthening coordination of animal breeding, promoting inter-institutional collaboration, and considering some more government financial support.

Na busca de compreender o fenômeno da sexualidade de pessoas com deficiência intelectual em intersecção com aspectos educacionais, este artigo analisa as pesquisas realizadas sobre essa temática no âmbito da pós-graduação brasileira entre os anos 2000 e 2018.  Foram identificados 14 trabalhos de mestrado categorizados e analisados a partir de seis eixos: 1) confecção de material didático; 2) intervenções com jovens e adolescentes; 3) percepção/formações de/com familiares e professores; 4) contextos institucionais; 5) revisão de literatura; e, 6) violência sexual e reprodutiva contra mulheres. Os materiais examinados apontam para a dificuldade de organização de espaços formativas sobre as sexualidades com pessoas com deficiência intelectual. As raras iniciativas mostram-se esvaziadas de princípios epistemológicos que potencializem a máxima expressão do desenvolvimento humano. O cerne é o currículo prescrito, fortemente impregnado pela noção de que sexualidade se vincula exclusivamente as dimensões preventivas e anatômicas/fisiológicas.

The words above inform Professor Tom Roa and Dr. Rodrigo Hill’s current research project titled Te Nehenehenui - The Ancient Enduring Beauty in the Great Forest of the King Country. With this project still in its early stages the research team will present past collaborations which they will show leads into new ideas and discussions about photography, wānanga, and place representation. They focus on Māori King Tawhiao’s finding refuge in Te Nehenehenui, later called the King Country in his honour. He led many of his Waikato people into this refuge as a result of the British Invasion and confiscation of their Waikato lands in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The love of and for those lands prompted him to compose his ‘maioha’ - this poem painting a word-picture of these spaces which their photography humbly aims to portray. The project advances the use of wānanga (forums and meetings through which knowledge is discussed and passed on) and other reflective practices, engaging with mana whenua and providing a thread which will guide the construction of the photographic images. The name Te Nehenhenui was conceptualised by Polynesian ancestors who travelled from Tahiti and were impressed with the beauty of the land and the vast verdant forests of the King Country territories in the North Island of Aotearoa New Zealand. The origins of the name and further relevant historical accounts have been introduced and discussed by Professor Tom Roa (Ngāti Apakura, Ngāti Hinewai), Shane Te Ruki (Ngāti Unu, Ngāti Kahu) and Doug Ruki (Ngāti Te Puta I Te Muri, Ngāti Te Kanawa, Ngāti Peehi) in the TVNZ Waka Huia documentary series. The documentary provides a compelling account of the origins of the name Te Nehenehenui, thus informing this project’s core ideas and objectives. The research fuses wānanga, that is Mātauranga Māori, and photographic research approaches in novel ways. It highlights the importance of local Waikato-Maniapoto cosmological narratives and Māori understandings of place in their intersecting with the Western discipline of photography. This practice-led research focuses on photography and offers innovative forms of critical analysis and academic argumentation by constructing, curating, and presenting the photographic work as a public gallery exhibition. For this edition of the LINK Conference, the research team will present early collaborations and current research developments exploring place-making and wānanga as both methodology and photography practice.

Nowadays, there is a high demand for rapid prototyping parts and for products manufactured through plastic cold deformation. Incremental forming process is one of many which presents numerous advantages for fast production of complex shape parts. The purpose of this study is to develop a numerical model through finite element analysis to simulate the incremental forming process. For this analysis a variable wall angle part (VWA) which ranges from a 45° wall angle at the higher base of frustrum cone to a 70° wall angle at the base of the shape was proposed. The numerical model showed where the maximum strains are localized, how big the forces are during the process and how much the material thinned. Although the model does not indicate a possible failure of the material, the integrity of the structural stiffness was altered due to a minimum thickness reached of just 0.26mm.

Among the protected sites of the Eastern Carpathians, the Synevyr National Nature Park (NNP) in the Zakarpattia region of Ukraine is one of the most valuable and was created to preserve its unique mountain beech and spruce forest communities. The importance of the conservation of typical natural virgin forest ecosystems of the Central European mountain systemis emphasized. The aim of this article was to determine the state of the naturalness of virgin forests in the territory of Synevyr NNP, to analyse their syntaxonomy, and to establish the floristic and geobotanical characteristics of its virgin forests and to distinguish the existing biodiversity threats. It was established that the studied plots of beech and spruce forests within the territory of the Synevyr NNP have a distinct virgin nature based on their structure, forest valuation parameters, spontaneous dynamics and other features. Syntaxonomically the virgin forests of the park belong to two associations: Symphyto cordati-Fagetum Vida (1959) 1963 (alliance Fagion sylvaticae Luquet 1926, order Fagetalia sylvaticae Pawłowski 1928, class Сarpino-Fagetea sylvaticae Jakucs ex Passarge 1968) and Luzulo luzuloidis-Fagetum (Du Rietz 1923) Markgraf 1932 (alliance Luzulo-Fagion sylvaticae Lohmeyer & Tx. in Tx. 1954, order Luzulo-Fagetalia Scamoni & Passarge 1959, class Quercetea roboripetraeae Br.-Bl. & Tx. ex Oberd. 1957). The natural and anthropogenic biodiversity threats of these virgin forests are summarized. The results of the research formed the basis for the inclusion of the beech virgin forests of Synevyr NNP as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the list of objects on “Beech virgin forests and ancient forests of the Carpathians and other regions of Europe”.
Occupational exposure and sick leave in a local food industry company
Authors: Pârvu Bogdan Mihail
Published: January 2023

Background: Sick leave (SL) medical certificates may help identify the intervention needed to reduce occupational exposures (OE) impact on employees’ health. OE may trigger increased sick days, but the question remains whether tracking medical certificates could improve health and working conditions.

The objective of this observational retrospective cohort study was analyzing the SL situation for a local company in 2008, OE impact on future medical leaves during the next decade, and on all-cause mortality, towards improving global employee health.

Methods: Employees of a local company were divided into two groups (G): G1-multiple OE including chemical hazards, rotating shifts, manual weight lifting, repetitive movements and machinery maneuvering (MWLRMMM), and G2-without OE. They were followed-up retrospectively between 2008-2018 regarding information from SL certificates, SL number, and all-cause mortality. Professional risk was assessed by professional risk factors identification forms, and on-site evaluation.

Results: 369 patients (45.4% of all employees), mean age 33 ± 8.2 years old, 41.2% men, received 11310 SL days, 3036 days on the first certificate. G1 included 324 (87.8%), while G2 included 45 patients (12.2%). The most common OE, in 292 patients (79.1% of total, 90.1% of G1) was MWLRMMM. Sick days were significantly higher in G1 (p=0.046), while the association with MWLRMMM was almost significant (p=0.053). During the next decade, subsequent SL were significantly increased by the presence of OE (p=0.0023, risk ratio=2.4), especially MWLRMMM (p=0.0026). All-cause mortality was higher in older employees (p=0.025), and uninfluenced by OE (p=0.3194) or other parameters.

Conclusions: SL are commonly prescribed, and OE is associated with more sick days, therefore improved working conditions may reduce SL. No association between OE and all-cause mortality was documented. Multiple sources of information (medical certificates, direct communication with employees and prescribing physicians) could lead to less sick days and a healthier work environment.

Background: Family medicine is one of the primary specialties in medicine. This study aims to obtain in-depth information from medical interns at King Abdul-Aziz University in Saudi Arabia who are interested in choosing family medicine as their future specialty and highlight key points of misconception and knowledge gaps regarding family medicine that might affect their decision-making process.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2021 to October 2021 among medical interns enrolled at King Abdul-Aziz University. Data were collected via online questionnaires distributed on social media. The study excluded first- to sixth-year medical students. The questionnaire included sex, grade point average, perception of family medicine as a future specialty, and knowledge about the family medicine residency program in Saudi Arabia. We used IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Statistics for Windows, Version 23.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY) for data analysis. p < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Most participants reported preferring a medical specialty during their clinical and internship years. Most participants had moderate to high levels of perception of family medicine as a future specialty. Regarding the level of perception of possible rotation during the family medicine program, most participants considered internal medicine, and fewer than 50% considered pediatrics and obstetrics/gynecology (OB/GYN).
Conclusions: Half of the participants preferred a medical specialty as a future career, including a family medicine specialty. Interns had misconceptions regarding extra rotations outside of internal medicine, pediatrics, and OB/GYN rotations offered during the Saudi residency program.

Published: January 2023

Objective: This study aimed to identify the factors that had an impact on the perceptions of medical students and interns regarding the plastic surgery. It was also aimed to determine the potential gap, and suggest the recommended strategies.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between April and May 2022, based on an electronic survey constructed with professional specialists' assistance based on this study objectives and from available surveys with similar objectives to ensure full coverage of the effective factors. It included demographics and general knowledge about plastic and reconstruction surgery; performed among medical students from second-year students to medical interns at Qassim University.
Results: Three hundred thirty-nine medical students participated in this study. Around 55.2% of participants were between the ages of 22 and 24 years. The most common conditions reported as being treated by a plastic surgeon were breast reduction or enhancement surgeries (87%), followed by burns (82%), and rhinoplasty (79%). There was an average level of awareness related to the plastic surgery field among medical students and interns, where the mean value was 1.960 and SD was 0.763.
Conclusion: The study concluded that medical students and interns did not have full awareness of plastic surgery. This has emphasized the need for extensive and early introduction of various aspects of plastic surgery into the educational program, and clinical rotations which could enhance the perception of this specialty.
