Biomass conversion into recyclable strong materials
Authors: Dziike Farai , Linganiso Linda Z. , Mpongwana Ncumisa , Legodi Lesetja M.
Published: July 2022

We review the conversion of waste biomass into recyclable materials using different methods of materials treatment such as thermal, mechanical and chemical processes. Renewable and sustainable biomaterials are increasingly becoming alternatives for synthetic strong materials, e.g. composites. The type of treatment of biomaterial will determine the form to which the biomass is converted and its subsequent applications. It is anticipated that the transformation will produce materials that have superior qualities, properties and characteristics. These include biopolymer materials such as cellulose and hemicellulose, which have all been obtained as products of treatment and extraction from plant materials such as lignocellulose. The main reason for inefficient biomass conversion has been found to be poor manipulation of composite properties during biomass treatment process. The treatment processes are expected to facilitate dehydration, dehydrogenation, deoxygenation and decarboxylation of the bulk biomass materials to target the formation of new compounds that may be used to make strong materials.
Significance:
This work demonstrates that plant material, as a solid-state biomass material for strong structural applications such as in biocomposites, is affected by factors that include the alignment of fibres, orientation of fibres, and mass density distribution. However, biocomposite materials have been found to be non-toxic, corrosionresistant, low-cost, and renewable. They are preferred because the materials possess high thermal stability, are biodegradable and recyclable, and have high biocompatibility, performance, strength, water-resistance, specific surface area and aspect ratio to qualify them for applications including biobricks for construction, slabs for paving, vehicle internal components, ultra-high temperature aerospace ceramics, and energy storage devices.

Single-use plastics emanating from the food and beverage industry are polluting the environment, and there is increasing public pressure to find ‘green’ solutions to plastic pollution. The introduction of more bio-based and biodegradable plastics (possibly manufactured by disruptive technologies), increased plastic recycling, and enhanced degradation of plastics (micro, meso, and macro) in the environment can holistically contribute to solving the problem for future generations. In order to inform future research, it is imperative that robust background data and information are available. This review provides details about the volumes and categories of food and beverage packaging manufactured and recycled, and available data (qualitative and quantitative) on environmental plastic pollution in South Africa, and to a lesser extent, in Europe and globally. In addition, current and future trends and technologies for recycling, enhanced degradation, and manufacturing of plastics are discussed, with an emphasis on the manufacture of bioplastics.
Significance:
Plastic pollution needs to be tackled through a holistic combination of reduced use, enhanced recycling efforts, public education about littering, replacement of selected conventional plastics by degradable alternatives, and enhanced degradation of plastics in the environment.

Vita COVIDa as a Biopolitical Modality of Life in a Pandemic
Authors: Popov Dmitry
Published: July 2022

The pandemic of the COVID-19 coronavirus infection has formed a special biopolitical modality of life, that of vita COVIDa. Biopolitics, the tools of which the authorities turned to in a pandemic, re-assembled the social space, thus changing the flow of social time. In this accelerated mode, the path from isolation through quarantine to vaccination has been completed. Historically-proven tools to combat the pandemic have been consistently combined. What was new was the appeal to the arsenal of modern digital technologies which made it possible to create a unique flexible barrier environment and control the process of the immunization of the population. Vita COVIDa was a form of further restriction of active life (vita activa). During the pandemic, consumption increased as an aspect of the work managed by animal laborans; there is a lack of creative activity carried out by homo faber; and there is a collapse of public space, leading to a pseudo-political virtual polemic in which a person gets bogged down as a zoon politikon. In conditions when the contemplative life (vita contemplativa) is captured by the effect of stickiness in the interpassivity mode, vita COVIDa slides to routine work and hyper-consumption, increasingly assigning the priority role of animal laborans to a person. The special spaces of the stationary (“Red Zone” or “camp of life”) and mobile (QR code) camps, formed in the mode of an undeclared state of emergency, produce a “naked life” (vita nuda). The increasing tension creates prerequisites for the invasion of the friend/enemy political-identifier proper into social relations, situationally assigning the status of homo sacer to persons whose modus operandi is perceived as risky. Foucault understood racism is actualized in the biopolitical space of the pandemic. The contradictory trends of the pandemic should be considered within the framework of the Esposito immunization paradigm, in which the pandemic with its threats of social collapse should be considered as something that requires an immune response in the form of a coordinated response of the authorities and the population to the threats of social collapse. The intense confrontations between humanity and disease and between the authorities and the population in the field of imposed restrictions and responsible adoption of the proposed measures lead to the need to develop co-vida vita (co-life) as a way of living and overcoming vita COVIDa during the return to the “old” new normality.
Enhancing maize yield in Ethiopia a meta-analysis

Published: July 2022

Accurate nitrogen (N) fertilization and optimum plant density increase crop yields. In this study, I report the effects of N fertilization rate and plant density on maize yield in a meta-analysis, by using observations from 15 studies conducted in Ethiopia since the 2000s for possible refinement of N fertilizer and plant density recommendations. I assessed the response of maize to different N rates ha−1 compared to the control using the yield response approach. Application of N fertilizer significantly increased maize yields by 31.5% - 65.9% compared to control. plant density increased maize yields by 42% - 72.4% compared to the control. The interaction effect of the N rate increased maize yields by 27.6% - 95.9%, with Plant density, 58.7% - 152% on loam soil, compared to control yield. The interaction effect of Plant density with soil type increased maize yields by 47% - 108% on loam soil. In conclusion, the grain yield of maize increased with increasing N rate and plant density up to the optimum. Therefore, it’s possible to recommend using a high N rate with both low and medium plant density (< 45,000 plants ha-1) and (45,000 to 65,000plants ha-1) to harvest high grain yield.

Inhibidores tirosín quinasa en el tratamiento del hepato-carcinoma avanzado
Authors: Pérez Vieiros Alejandro , Fernández-Palanca Paula , Mauriz José Luis
Published: July 2022

El hepatocarcinoma o carcinoma hepatocelular (CHC) se ha convertido en el tipo de neoplasia más común dentro del cáncer hepático. Este tipo de cáncer presenta una elevada tasa de mortalidad, siendo actualmente el tercer cáncer con mayor mortalidad a nivel mundial. Los receptores tirosín quinasa (RTKs) son glicoproteínas de membrana que participan en la activación de numerosas vías de señalización, relacionadas principalmente con procesos de proliferación, migración, angiogénesis, crecimiento, supervivencia y diferenciación celular. Las vías activadas por RTKs aparecen desreguladas con frecuencia en CHC y contribuyen al desarrollo y progresión tumoral. Por ello, estos receptores se han convertido en importantes dianas para la búsqueda de nuevos tratamientos eficaces frente a este tipo de cáncer. Los inhibidores tirosín quinasa (TKIs) son moléculas que bloquean de forma selectiva la activación de los RTKs. El amplio espectro de acción de estos inhibidores y su demostrada eficacia han llevado a la aprobación de varios TKIs como tratamiento sistémico del CHC en estadio avanzado. No obstante, a pesar de los resultados prometedores obtenidos, en ocasiones el tratamiento fracasa y se desarrolla resistencia a estos TKIs. Por esta razón, se continúa trabajando en la búsqueda de nuevas moléculas que actúen como TKIs más eficaces y seguros.

Background: The objective of the study was to delineate the clinico-epidemiological characteristics of pediatric coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients.Methods: This observational study included 290 pediatric patients with a definite diagnosis of COVID-19 admitted to Dhaka Shishu hospital, Bangladesh, from April 2021 to October 2021. Clinical and epidemiological characteristics were analyzed based on demographic data, medical history, laboratory tests, and outcome information. Data analysis was performed with SPSS 26. Ethical measures were taken in compliance with the current declaration of Helsinki, and final analysis was performed using SPSS 26.Results: Of all, 42 (14.5%) were neonates (<28 days), 88 (30.3%) were infants (28 days to <1 year) and 160 (55.2%) were children (1-17 years). The median age of the children was 18 (0.3-204) months, 58.3% were male, 62% had malnutrition, and presented with various clinical presentations. The main symptoms were fever (5.7%) and breathlessness (20%). Approximately 22% of children were asymptomatic, and 57% had at least one comorbidity. Fever and abdominal pain were predominant presenting symptoms in children compared with neonates and infants (p<0.01 for both), while cough and breathlessness were more frequent in infants (p<0.01 for both). The infants suffered significantly from neutropenia and lymphocytosis than neonates and children (p<0.001 for both). The discharge and death rates were 77.8% with 6.9%. Overall case fatality was higher among neonates than others.Conclusions: Compared to other pediatric groups, neonatal case fatality was higher, and COVID-19 in neonates, infants, and children has similar epidemiological and clinical manifestations. The findings from this study might help to guide the development of measures to prevent and treat this ongoing global pandemic of these particular age groups.
Unexplained hepatosplenomegaly: a storage disorder
Authors: Rao Jayashree S. , Sreekantham Sravyasree , Pradeep Meghashree Vinod , N. Pradeep
Published: July 2022

Gaucher’s disease (GD), a lysosomal storage disorder is caused by defect in the housekeeping gene lysosomal glucocerebrosidase which is present on the first chromosome (1q22). It was first described by a French physician, Philippe Gaucher in 1882. The metabolic defect is the deficiency of the lysosomal hydrolase β-glucosidase, identified by Brady et al. Hereby we reported a 3 year 6-month-old male child presenting with mass per abdomen. Peripheral smear showed bicytopenia and bone marrow aspiration revealed normal erythropoiesis and Gaucher’s cells in a background of normal erythroid, myeloid, and megakaryocytic lineage cells. An impression of lysosomal storage disorder was given and child was evaluated further by genetic analysis. Therefore, we emphasized the importance of early recognition by clinical manifestation and histological findings.  The practicing paediatrician should have an index of suspicion for storage disorders as a differential diagnosis of children with unexplained hepatosplenomegaly. Early diagnosis of GD would lead to initiation of effective treatment with enzyme replacement which can decrease morbidity.
An unusual presentation of vitamin D dependent rickets type 2 with low 25 (OH) D3 levels and alopecia: a case report of two siblings
Authors: Ramesh Monisha , Chopra Vivek , Dhawan Neeraj , Pandit Sadbhavna
Published: July 2022

Vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2 (VDDR2) is a rare autosomal recessive (AR) disorder caused either by a mutation in the Vitamin D receptor gene or overexpression of the binding protein leading to end-organ resistance to 1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D3 or defective hormonal actions respectively. It clinically represents growth retardation presenting in the 1st year of life and is frequently associated with alopecia totalis and markedly elevated levels of 1, 25(OH)2 D, which differentiates it from VDDR type 1. We hereby report siblings of a family, who presented with clinical, radiological features of rickets and alopecia totalis. To our knowledge, only a few cases have been reported in literature describing the AR-pattern and low 25(OH)D3 levels in VDDR2.

According to the global cancer observatory (GLOBOCAN), there were 16,485 new cases of pancreatic cancer in Southeast Asia in 2020, with men (9458 cases) having the highest incidence compare to woman (8320 cases). The death rate from 16,485 cases was 16,167 cases (98%). A person's chance of developing pancreatic cancer in addition to other cancers is between 1% to 20%. In this study, we reported a case of pancreatic tumor with lung tumor. A 68 years old woman presented with right quadrant abdominal pain since 1 month ago. The pain occurs randomly, but mostly occur during night. The pain didn’t occur after eat fatty food and during exercise. The pain didn’t relieve by rest. The patient also experienced nausea and vomit. The vomit consist of food and blood. She complains black colored stools and dark yellow urine. She also lost weight from 62 kg to 47 kg. There was history of gastric bleeding in 4 month ago. She was passive smoker. We then did several tests such as complete blood count, blood chemistry, serology, chest x-ray and abdominal CT-scan. The test showed pancreatic tumor with suggestive primary lung tumor. Patient with multiple primary tumor are an extremely rare type of cancer, which need comprehensive approach to both diagnosis and treatment of these numerous primary tumors.

Published: July 2022

The nonrecurrent inferior laryngeal nerve (NRILN), a rare variant in the course of the inferior laryngeal nerve, passes transversely into larynx directly arising from the vagus nerve that increases the risk of damage to the nerve during thyroid and parathyroid surgery. We discussed clinical significance of non-recurrent laryngeal nerve during cervicotomy. Its importance was demonstrated in three clinical cases as well as the related literature reviews. All patients underwent bilateral thyroidectomy for a multinodular goiter. Two patients had identification of the NRILN on the right side. The third patient had the NRILN on the left side. The diagnosis of this anatomical variation was made per-operatively on all cases. The NRILN is an exceptional anomaly but overlooking its risk may lead to grave morbidity. This is a supplementary proof in favour of systematic dissection of the recurrent inferior laryngeal nerve (RILN) during all thyroid and parathyroid surgery.

Authors: John Mosopefoluwa A. , Oleka Evans C.
Published: July 2022

Throughout history, natural products have been utilized to treat a variety of diseases; cinchona tree containing quinine to treat malaria, penicillin for the treatment of infectious diseases, and a wide variety of others. Since the discovery of penicillin by Fleming in 1929, a large number of antibacterial agents have been developed and have had a huge impact on human health. However, due to widespread excessive dispensing of antibiotics, certain bacterial pathogens have developed resistant strains via various mutations in their genomic setup. One of such pathogens is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, hence the study. This study aims at describing the epidemiology of resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, its risk factors and potential control strategies in Sub-Saharan Africa. PubMed, BMC and other reliable databases were searched for English research articles published from January 2015 to December 2020 reporting on the molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Due to lack of credible data from all Sub-Saharan African countries and first-line drugs, the study was streamlined to the most populous countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, 17 of which were considered in this study, and the two most common first-line drugs (i.e., Rifampicin and Isoniazid). A total of 54 research articles were thoroughly reviewed for the final analysis. Isoniazid had higher monoresistance (8.5%) than Rifampicin (3.6%). Tuberculosis (TB) Monoresistance was highest in Morocco (54%) and lowest in Mali (4.2%), while multidrug resistance highest in Senegal (58.1%), and lowest in Cameroon (1.1%).

Evaluating the Implementation of BNPB’s Srikandi Bencana Program in Dharma Wanita Persatuan UNNES
Authors: Suharini Erni , Kurniawan Edi , Syifauddin Mohammad
Published: July 2022

One of the vulnerable-to-disasters parties is women. In fact, women have great potential to take part in creating a disaster-resilient society. Dharma Wanita Persatuan (Women’s Association) as an organization consisting of the wives of civil servants or female civil servants in government agencies has so far only played an informal role as a supporter of their husbands and has not been empowered. If members of Dharma Wanita are empowered through the Srikandi Bencana (Disaster Heroine) program, they have the potential to become a driving actor in increasing preparedness in the community where they live. This quantitative study aims to analyze the level of knowledge of members of the Dharma Wanita Persatuan UNNES about the Srikandi Bencana program of National Agency for Disaster Countermeasure (BNPB) and analyze the level of preparedness of members of the Dharma Wanita Persatuan UNNES. This study involved 50 members of the Dharma Wanita Persatuan UNNES. Data was collected by using a questionnaire method using google forms. The data analysis techniques used in this study include quantitative descriptive analysis techniques. The results point out that the average knowledge of members of the Dharma Wanita UNNES regarding the Srikandi Bencana is still relatively low at 33.33%. Then, the average level of their preparedness is in the medium category, namely at 68.13%. These numbers indicate that the Srikandi Bencana program must be campaigned more massively and realized among the Dharma Wanita. If the members are equipped with adequate disaster preparedness, they will play as notable actors to establish alertness in their families and society. This way, disaster risk reduction will also be more gender-friendly that everyone can participate.

Published: July 2022

Exchanging data between devices is getting easier and faster just by using a network. Nevertheless, many factors threaten this process and the network itself. Implementing an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) may minimize the risk since it can identify and prevent attacks on the network. There are many methods to design an IDS to work optimally only by reducing data dimensions, one of which is by using the Autoencoder. However, its data dimensions may not have been optimal, which affects the IDS performance. In this study, we work on this problem. This study shows that one of the dimensional reduction methods can get optimal results. It indicates that it is implementable to secure the network.

“The very sun irradiates their gorgeous palace, but never bypasses our tatty hut: sunshine is equal.” -Shakespeare

Equity is the common desire of all people in this world, and it is also a silently tacit agreement between countries and the strategic

balance they want to pursue. However, the recent asteroid mining craze seems to be quietly influencing the existing equity degree

around the globe. We developed the World Resource Equity Assessment Model (WREAM) and other related models in order to

measure the equity degree of the earth as a regional system and to propose policies to regulate it.In this paper, we reviewed the

relevant literature, then collected the required data and performed data pre-processing. Next, for the problem we faced, we developed

a model that can assess the degree of equity of any regional system. In this model, we combined subjective hierarchical analysis with

objective entropy weighting to obtain the weights of each indicator, and then calculated the IP and OP (Input and Output) for each

country using the TOPSIS integrated evaluation method. By introducing the Pearson correlation linear coefficients fitted with the

one-dimensional linear regression, the degree of global equity was judged by judging the magnitude of the one-dimensional linear

regression coefficients. Then, we applied this World Resource Equity Assessment Model to 10 countries. we made predictions for

possible future visions of asteroid mining for pre-policy interventions and post-policy interventions.
