Aavi Dugdha (Sheep Milk) in Management of Mutrashmari (Urinary Calculi)
Authors: Pamnani Manish , Ramamurthy A. , Agrawal Sarvesh Kumar
Published: June 2023

The most prevalent and painful condition affecting the urinary system is Mutrashmari. The clinical characteristics of the condition are mentioned in Vedas, one of the oldest libraries of human knowledge. Aavi Dugdha (Sheep milk), according to ancient Ayurvedic sources, is highly regarded for promoting health. In fact, proper consumption of sheep milk, or Aavidugdha, is recommended for all renal problems. The fundamental cause of the disease is the reversal of any neurotransmission or inappropriate clearance of the waste products created during metabolism, which results in the accumulation of toxins. Acharya Charaka describes treatment for Mutrashmari (Urinary Calculi) as the removal of these deposited waste materials. These ailments can be cured with the use of sheep milk properly. Also in Shaligram Nighantu, Haritakyadi Nighantu, Bhavprakash, Kaiyadeva and Abhinav Nighantu, Aavi Dughda (sheep milk) Ashmarihara (Lithotriptic) property is mentioned. All Ayurvedic texts related to the material were searched to find valuable, relevant, and descriptive information about Aavidugdha in the management of Mutraashmari. On the same, a critical evaluation was conducted and presented in a proper manner.

Published: June 2023

Background:

Ayurveda has a holistic aim to keep mankind healthy. Due to the growing acceptance of herbal drugs worldwide, it is important to provide data on quality, safety, and efficacy. Ayurveda prescribes metals, minerals, and herbomineral formulations under the heading of Rasa Shastra in addition to herbal medicines only. Manufacturing procedures for these formulations are rigorous and adverse reactions are possible if not performed properly. Here, an attempt has been made to set preliminary pharmacognostical and pharmaceutical parameters along with high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) of one of the herbomineral formulations named Darvyadi Lauha, mentioned in Charak Samhita for the treatment of Pandu (anemia) and Kamala (jaundice).

Aim and Objective:

This study aimed to evaluate and establish the pharmacognostical and physicochemical parameters of Darvyadi Lauha tablet.

Materials and Methods:

Preauthenticated raw drugs were procured and Darvyadi Lauha was prepared at pharmacy, ITRA, Jamnagar. Organoleptic parameters and microscopic analysis of the tablet were done at Pharmacognosy Department, ITRA, Jamnagar. Physicochemical analysis of tablet and HPTLC were done at Pharmaceutical Laboratory, ITRA, Jamnagar.

Results:

Microscopic features of Darvyadi Lauha were cross-checked with ayurvedic pharmacopoeia of India (API) standards of individual ingredients and it was found all characteristics remain intact. In physicochemical parameters, the pH value was 6, water-soluble extract was 22.27% w/w, alcohol-soluble extract was 22.46% w/w, ash value was 11.057% w/w, and loss on drying (LOD) was 2.028%w/w, HPTLC at 254 nm and at 366 nm showed six spots in each.

Conclusion:

This study generated preliminary data on organoleptic parameters, microscopic evaluation, and physicochemical parameters such as pH, water-soluble extract, alcohol-soluble extract, ash value, LOD, and HPTLC of Darvyadi Lauha tablet. These fingerprinting can be useful for future researchers to reproduce this formulation, as till date, quality control parameters of Darvyadi Lauha are not available in API or not available in the public domain.
Effect of high-flow nasal cannula versus non-invasive ventilation in preventing re-intubation in high-risk chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients: A randomised controlled trial
Authors: Magdy Doaa M. , Metwally Ahmed
Published: June 2023

Background:

Currently, a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has been shown to improve extubation outcomes. However, there is a lack of evidence on the utilisation of HFNC in high-risk chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of HFNC versus non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in preventing re-intubation following planned extubation in high-risk COPD patients.

Patients and Methods:

In this prospective, randomised, controlled trial, 230 mechanically ventilated COPD patients at high risk for re-intubation who fulfilled the criteria for planned extubation were enrolled. Post-extubation blood gases and vital signs at 1, 24, and 48 hours were recorded. The primary outcome was the re-intubation rate within 72 hours. Secondary outcomes included post-extubation respiratory failure, respiratory infection, intensive care unit and hospital length of stay, and mortality rate at 60 days.

Results:

230 patients after planned extubation were randomly allocated to receive either HFNC (n = 120) or NIV (n = 110). Re-intubation within 72 hours was significantly lower in the high-flow group: 8 patients (6.6%) versus 23 patients (20.9%) in the NIV group {absolute difference, 14.3% [95% confidence interval (CI), 10.9–16.3]; P = 0.001}. The frequency of post-extubation respiratory failure was less in patients assigned to HFNC than in those allocated NIV (25% vs. 35.4%) [absolute difference, 10.4% (95% CI, 2.4–14.3); P = 0.001]. There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding reasons for respiratory failure after extubation. It was observed that the 60-day mortality rate was lower in patients who received HFNC than in those assigned to NIV (5% vs. 13.6%) [absolute difference, 8.6 (95% CI, 4.3 to 9.10); P = 0.001].

Conclusion:

The use of HFNC after extubation appears to be superior to NIV in reducing the risk of re-intubation within 72 hours and 60-day mortality in high-risk COPD patients.

Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:

Despite the efforts invested in generating quality data for routine immunization (RI) in Nigeria, significant improvement is yet to be reported, largely due to the multiple reporting, summation, and data transfer processes associated with the current paper-based reporting system.

Aim:

This study piloted the use of electronic capture and transmission of RI data using Open Data Kit (ODK) in selected health facilities in Enugu State to determine its effect on internal consistency, completeness, timeliness, and validity on RI data.

Materials and Methods:

An intervention study adopting the implementation research approach was conducted in 12 local government areas (LGAs) in Enugu State, Nigeria: six intervention LGAs and six control LGAs. Four RI data sets were built into two ODK data collection tools and deployed in Android phones for RI data capture and transmission in 60 randomly selected primary health care centers (PHCs) from six intervention LGAs (10 PHC per LGA) for three months. A second set of 60 health facilities was randomly selected from another six different LGAs as a control. A total of 10,663 RI data captured within this period were processed and analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS version 25.

Results:

Only 49 (81.7%) of the 60 intervention PHCs transmitted RI data using the ODK, and the majority of the PHCs (81, 74.3%) were also from rural areas. RI data captured and transmitted using ODK had internal consistency in more health facilities where intervention had taken place (46, 93.9%) than in health facilities where the paper-based method was used (33, 55.0%), representing a 70.1% marginal increase in internal consistency. Internal consistency was significantly associated with intervention status (intervention and non-intervention sites) and location (urban/rural) at P value = 0.001 and 0.044, respectively. Data transmitted electronically using ODK were also 2.9 times more likely to have internal consistency than those captured and transmitted with the paper-based method (P = 0.001). Data from urban areas were also 1.5 times more likely to have internal consistency than those from rural areas (P = 0.011).

Conclusion:

Despite its challenges, such as poor power supply, poor network coverage, and device specification and the capacity of health workers, electronic capture and transmission of RI data using ODK is effective in improving RI data internal consistency, completeness, and validity.

Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:

Immunization data are particularly of poor quality in Nasarawa State, with a wide disparity between administrative and survey data. Peer learning and support have been proven to improve real-time accountability processes in data management by fostering a supportive learning environment.

Aim:

This study was conducted to assess the effect of peer learning and support in improving the quality of routine immunization data in Nasarawa State, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:

A cluster randomized trial was conducted in four local government areas (LGAs) in Nasarawa State (two intervention and two control sites). Monthly sessions of peer learning meetings were conducted in the intervention LGAs for a three-month period. A total of 218 primary health centers were recruited for the study. Data from routine immunization records including the health facility data quality assurance survey and district health information system (DHIS2) were collected using the Open Data Kit software. Descriptive univariate and bivariate analyses were performed using SPSS. RI data accuracy, completeness of reporting, and timeliness of reporting were compared in the intervention and the control LGAs.

Results:

There were slight improvements in the overall quality of RI data in the intervention LGAs compared to the control. However, when considered according to timeliness, completeness, and accuracy, there were some unexpected findings. However, the intervention sites showed more consistent improvement overtime compared to the control sites.

Conclusion:

Peer learning and support can improve the quality of RI data, but this may require a longer period to produce significant effect.

ABSTRACT

Availability of high-quality data alone, is not sufficient to ensure the effective use of the data in decision making. Therefore, this study aims to identify the facilitators and barriers to generating quality data and usage for decision making in routine immunization program management in Sub-Saharan Africa. Scoping literature review was conducted on empirical and non-empirical literature on immunization data in sub-Saharan Africa from 2010 to 2020. The review adopted Arksey and O’Malley’s theoretical framework and Donabedian’s model in the abstraction and analysis of data, and in the synthesis of the findings. The structural factors that facilitate routine immunization data quality and use include, the availability of trained data managers (n=7) and relevant data management tools (n=15). The procedural facilitators are existence of routine data quality assessment processes such as supportive supervision and data review meetings (n=29), and the use of decision support systems like data monitoring charts and dashboards (n=18). Conversely, the barriers to routine immunization data quality and use were inadequate human resources for data management (n = 4), poor staff attitudes to data management (n = 4), insufficient capacity of data managers to use decision support tools (n=7), and poor supervision and tracking of immunization coverage data (n=21). This study found that structural and procedural factors greatly influenced quality of immunization data. The conceptualization, design, and implementation of interventions and strategies for improving the quality and use of immunization data should leverage the facilitators and mitigate the barriers.

Let f be an isolated singularity at the origin of
$\mathbb {C}^n$
. One of many invariants that can be associated with f is its Łojasiewicz exponent
$\mathcal {L}_0 (f)$
, which measures, to some extent, the topology of f. We give, for generic surface singularities f, an effective formula for
$\mathcal {L}_0 (f)$
in terms of the Newton polyhedron of f. This is a realization of one of Arnold’s postulates.

In this article, we study the Bohr operator for the operator-valued subordination class
$S(f)$
consisting of holomorphic functions subordinate to f in the unit disk
$\mathbb {D}:=\{z \in \mathbb {C}: |z|<1\}$
, where
$f:\mathbb {D} \rightarrow \mathcal {B}(\mathcal {H})$
is holomorphic and
$\mathcal {B}(\mathcal {H})$
is the algebra of bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space
$\mathcal {H}$
. We establish several subordination results, which can be viewed as the analogs of a couple of interesting subordination results from scalar-valued settings. We also obtain a von Neumann-type inequality for the class of analytic self-mappings of the unit disk
$\mathbb {D}$
which fix the origin. Furthermore, we extensively study Bohr inequalities for operator-valued polyanalytic functions in certain proper simply connected domains in
$\mathbb {C}$
. We obtain Bohr radius for the operator-valued polyanalytic functions of the form
$F(z)= \sum _{l=0}^{p-1} \overline {z}^l \, f_{l}(z) $
, where
$f_{0}$
is subordinate to an operator-valued convex biholomorphic function, and operator-valued starlike biholomorphic function in the unit disk

The persistence of malaria hotspots in Datem del Marañon Province, Peru, prompted vector control units at the Ministry of Health, Loreto Department, to collaborate with the Amazonian International Center of Excellence for Malaria Research to identify the main vectors in several riverine villages that had annual parasite indices > 15 in 2018–2019. Anophelinae were collected indoors and outdoors for two 12-hour nights/community during the dry season in 2019 using human landing catch. We identified four species: Nyssorhynchus benarrochi B, Nyssorhynchus darlingi, Nyssorhynchus triannulatus, and Anopheles mattogrossensis. The most abundant, Ny. benarrochi B, accounted for 96.3% of the total (7,550/7,844), of which 61.5% were captured outdoors (4,641/7,550). Six mosquitoes, one Ny. benarrochi B and five Ny. darlingi, were infected by Plasmodium falciparum or Plasmodium vivax. Human biting rates ranged from 0.5 to 592.8 bites per person per hour for Ny. benarrochi B and from 0.5 to 32.0 for Ny. darlingi, with entomological inoculation rates as high as 0.50 infective bites per night for Ny. darlingi and 0.25 for Ny. benarrochi B. These data demonstrate the risk of malaria transmission by both species even during the dry season in villages in multiple watersheds in Datem del Marañon province.
Expanding the Definition of the Degree of Hybridization of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles
Authors: Braumandl Adrian , Kim Giyong , Bause Katharina , Albers Albert
Published: June 2023

Fuel cell electric vehicles are expected to support the effort to overcome the economic and ecological challenges in the automotive sector. Just as battery electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles also offer locally emission free mobility. The drive system of fuel cell electric vehicles consists of a fuel cell system, an electric motor, power electronics, a hydrogen storage system as well as a rechargeable energy storage system, typically a battery. The quantified power ratio between the fuel cell system and the rechargeable energy storage system is referred to as the degree of hybridization, although inconsistent definitions are used. As these existing definitions of the degree of hybridization of fuel cell electric vehicles don’t support a distinct differentiation and characterization of the vehicles, a new definition of the degree of hybridization is proposed considering the ratio of the energy contents of the hydrogen storage system and the rechargeable energy storage system, effectively adding a second dimension. The degree of hybridization is then evaluated for existing fuel cell electric vehicles using the proposed definition and enables the characterization and clustering of the different vehicles. While this two-dimensional degree of hybridization can be used as optimization criteria during the design and optimization of fuel cell drive systems, the aforementioned clusters can be assigned to already established qualitative degree of hybridization definitions used to describe types of hybrid electric vehicles. This supports customers to be able to more easily distinguish between different types of fuel cell electric vehicles while also increasing the suitability of the degree of hybridization as an optimization criterion in drive system development.
Design of a Robust Optimal Multivariable Control for a Steer-by-Wire System
Authors: Irmer Marcus , Degen René , Nüßgen Alexander , Thomas PhD Karin , Ruschitzka PhD Margot , Henrichfreise PhD Hermann
Published: June 2023

On the way to highly automated and autonomous driving, a robustly designed steering system is a key component. Therefore, this article presents a new control approach for modern steer-by-wire systems. The approach consists of a multivariable control for the driver´s steering torque and the rack position simultaneously, using the requested torques of the downstream and upstream motor as control variables. The plant model used in this approach is a detailed model of a steer-by-wire system with nine degrees of freedom. For the control design, an optimal reduced model is derived. The reduced plant model is linearized, and it is augmented by linear models for the reference and disturbance environment of the steer-by-wire system and by a linearized model for the feeling generator that computes the requested steering torque. For this augmented model, a multivariable linear optimal static state space controller is designed. Hence, the whole environment of the real steering system is considered in the control design. Due to the multivariable approach and the augmented model that contains all subsystems and dominant characteristics of the real system, the resulting control system shows excellent robustness characteristics. Therefore, the presented control fulfills all the requirements of a modern steering system regarding robustness and can be adapted to different driving situations.
Technical Evaluation of the Obstacle Detection for Automated Shuttle Buses

Published: June 2023

With the law on autonomous driving and the associated ordinance, it has been possible in Germany since June 2022 to grant operating permission to vehicles with automated driving function and to admit them to road traffic. For public transport, automated shuttle buses offer the opportunity to maintain the existing service despite a shortage of personnel and to close gaps in supply. The safety of vehicle occupants, other road users and third parties is a key concern in the operation of automated shuttle buses.

As part of the project RABus “Real laboratory for automated bus operation in public transport in urban and rural areas”, which is funded by the Ministry of Transport Baden-Württemberg, the operational reliability of automated shuttle buses (SAE Level 4) in public transport is being scientifically investigated.

In the implementation of automated driving, obstacle detection/avoidance is a safety-critical driving function. The number of possible scenarios in the real world is almost infinite, which makes the technical and systematic evaluation of automation function a challenge for developers, testers, and certification bodies of automated driving.

In this work, we present the state of the art in terms of obstacle detection and compares metrics for evaluating obstacle detection function. The technical evaluation of obstacle detection of a vehicle with automated driving function is shown using the example of the real labs in Friedrichshafen and Mannheim in the RABus project. For both cities, the infrastructural requirements in the operational design domain are surveyed. Current developments in the field of (international) standardization in the description of operational conditions/operational domains (including ASAM OpenODD) will be followed and evaluated for applicability.
The Paris Agreement as a paradigm shift in international law: the view from empirical legal studies*
Authors: Haldar Antara
Published: June 2023

Legal theorists have historically levied critiques of international law’s status as law or as a legal system, contrasting it with the paradigm of municipal legal systems. However, this jurisprudential position is not necessarily sound, and empirical research tends against a sharp distinction between the two modes of law. This article uses both jurisprudential and empirical lenses to analyse and contest critiques of international law’s status as a legal system. It focuses in particular on the emergent climate governance regime and the Paris Agreement as a potential gold standard for a consensus-driven international legal order. It argues that, far from being a poor imitation of a legal system, international law may actually represent the state of the art and act as an exemplar for municipal legal systems.
The securitisation of international economic law and ‘global security’: an analysis of the EU law approach through the prism of the Common Commercial Policy
Authors: Mola Lorenza
Published: June 2023

The so-called ‘securitisation’ of international economic law is largely premised and enacted on grounds of defensive security exceptions, whereby governments invoke their national security interests to depart from their international economic obligations. This article aims to contribute to the ongoing debate on the compatibility of such security-driven unilateral measures with international law and within the current system of global governance, by exploring whether legal patterns tackling essential security interests under international economic law may reach beyond State-centred national security interests to also encompass concerns arising from global security threats (such as environmental security). In doing so, this article focuses on the relevant approaches taken by the European Union (EU), particularly in the operation of the EU Common Commercial Policy (CCP) under Article 207 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The EU enjoys broad exclusive competence in framing and implementing its trade and investment policy under the CCP, both in terms of its internal regulation and external action. In this context, security considerations are bound to arise. This article explores a series of relevant legal instruments originating from or concluded by the EU, and analyses how these incorporate security considerations and the EU’s understanding of the concept of security thereunder. After considering security under EU primary law, the article reviews the position taken by the EU as a bilateral treaty player, by reference to the Trade and Comprehensive Agreement with the United Kingdom, and as a member of the World Trade Organization, notably on the interpretation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade security exceptions clause. It also looks into EU internal action on foreign direct investment screening, export control and foreign subsidies regulations, as well as the EU’s proposed ‘anti-coercion mechanism’ and its ‘global human rights sanction regime’. The analysis of the EU’s multifaceted practice shows that while global security concerns may increasingly underlie obligations to cooperate and coordination clauses, existent security-related legal patterns in bilateral and multilateral treaty practice remain ‘national security’-centred; and despite the increasing ‘enlargement’ of the scope of national security to encompass additional non-military threats, the vast array of global security threats and vulnerabilities are hardly covered by this expansion.

Published: June 2023

Job performance is the highlight and benchmark for every organisation. It is directly related to the organisation, thus generating value and contributing to the organisation's goals, which are demonstrated in the organisation's financial and non-financial results. Optimal individual job performance will lead to business success and affect organisational profitability. This study aims to examine the effect of job crafting and career adaptability on job performance and the indirect effect through the mediation of psychological availability. Empirical data were collected from 220 Bank Papua employees using an online survey method. This study was analysed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and confirmatory factor analysis to test the proposed hypotheses. Lisrel software was used to analyse and test the seven hypotheses created based on the research model. The results showed that career adaptability has a positive effect on job performance both directly and through the mediation of psychological availability. However, job crafting was found to have a negative effect on job performance. Furthermore, this research is expected to contribute to human resource literature, especially for policy makers and related parties to pay attention to aspects of career adaptability, which play a role in the process of shaping employee performance.

Bu çalışma, tanenler ve suda çözünür karbonhidratlar açısından yüksek olan yemlik keçiboynuzu kırığının, yaş şeker pancarı posası silajına ilave olarak kullanımının uygulanabilirliğini incelemiştir. Yemlik keçiboynuzu kırığı ilavesi (% 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, ve 10.0), olgunlaşan yaş şeker pancarı posası silajının besin madde içeriğini ve in vitro fermantasyon parametrelerini önemli derecede etkilemiştir. Katkı maddesi olarak kullanılan yemlik keçiboynuzu kırığının oranına bağlı olarak olgunlaşan yaş şeker pancar posası silajlarının kuru maddesinin (KM), ham kül (HK) ve Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) içeriklerinin artmış olduğu ve Fleig skorunda yükseldiği gözlenmiştir. Ham protein (HP) ve Asit Detergent Fiber (ADF) içeriklerine etkisi olmamıştır, in vitro fermantasyon parametrelerinden gaz üretimi, metan (ml), metabolik enerji (ME) ve organik madde sindirim derecesini (OMSD) artırırken % metan içeriğini etkilememiştir. Kuru madde içerikleri, şeker posası silajları için %13,18 ile 16,35 aralığında bulunmuştur. Silajların NDF içerikleri ise %19,62 ile 21,45 aralığında olmuştur. Şeker pancarı posasına %10 oranında keçiboynuzu kırığı ilavesi kuru madde ve NDF içeriğinin en yüksek değerine ulaşmasını sağlamıştır. Yaş şeker pancar posasına %10 yemlik keçiboynuzu kırığı ilavesi elde edilen silajın kuru madde içeriği bakımından tavsiye edilebilir.

Prostatic sarcoma is a rare and aggressive disease that accounts for less than 1% of all diagnosed malignant prostate tumors. It mainly affects older men and its epidemiology is still not well defined due to the lack of comprehensive registries. The clinical presentation of prostatic sarcoma is variable, with urinary symptoms, pelvic or lumbar pain and systemic symptoms. Diagnosis requires a comprehensive evaluation including clinical history, physical examination, prostate biopsy and imaging studies. Treatment is individualized and multidisciplinary, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapies. However, due to the rarity of this disease, evidence on the efficacy of different treatments is limited. More research is needed to better understand prostatic sarcoma, develop more effective therapeutic strategies and improve outcomes for affected patients.

Educational leadership may be a significant role in determining a school's performance. The study determined to correlate administrators’ leadership practices and the teachers’ performance in the Division of Bukidnon. It also assessed the significant correlation between teachers’ performance and leadership practices of the school administrators under the School-Based Management (SBM). The research design used in this study was descriptive-correlational. Quantitative and qualitative means were employed to achieve the objectives of this research. Stratified random sampling using Cochran’s formula determined the sample size of the study with a total of 266 respondents. Descriptive statistics, Pearson r moment correlation coefficient, Analysis of Variance, and T- test were used in the analysis of data. The findings of the study revealed that in terms of sex, age, number of years as school administrator, and highest educational attainment have significant difference in the performance of the school administrators under the SBM. There was a significant relationship between the leadership practices of school administrators and the school performance. Problems were identified by the school administrators during the focused group discussion. They were the following: lack of stakeholder support, lack of data or resources, lack of financial resources and confusion as to what specific roles to take under the SBM. These problems were addressed in making an action development plan. The study proved the workings of General System Theory applied to the three variables such as the school administrators’ practices, teachers’ performance, and the school performance. There is interplay of these three variables in the sense that the practices of the school administrators affected the performance of the teachers and both the school administrators’ practices and teachers’ performance influenced the overall performance of the school. The study also proved Hallinger’s findings there is a strong correlation between leadership practices and teachers’ performance in the school.
Biosorption of Pd(II) from Aqueous Solution using Leaves of Moringa oleifera as a Low-cost Biosorbent
Authors: Amorim Dinani , Costa Bruno , Martinez Denis
Published: June 2023

Palladium ion (Pd(II)) is one of the hazardous metal pollutants commonly found in industrial effluents and poses severe environmental and human health impacts. The present study has chosen the leaves of Moringa oleifera (L-MO) as a potential biosorbent for removing Pd(II) from the aqueous solution. Various parameters such as pH, biosorbent dose, and initial Pd(II) concentration were optimized for maximum removal of Pd(II) using standard protocols. The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy study was performed to identify the functional groups involved in Pd(II) biosorption mechanism. The analysis of FTIR spectra confirmed the involvement of functional groups such as C–O, C=O, C–H, and O–H in the biosorption of Pd(II) on the surface of L-MO. The biosorption of Pd(II) was highest at pH 6. The sorption equilibrium data were well-fitted with the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.9896). The highest adsorption capacity of L-MO was 41.15 mg/g. It is concluded that the L-MO could be used as a potentially low-cost novel biosorbent to remove Pd(II) from contaminated water.
