The purpose of this review is to reveal the lipid and protein contents in black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) for the sustainable production of protein and energy sources. It has been observed from studies in the literature that the larval lipid and protein contents vary with the rearing conditions as well as the downstream processing employed. The homogenous, heterogenous and microbial-treated substrates via fermentation are used to rear BSFL and are compared in this review for the simultaneous production of larval protein and biodiesel. Moreover, the best moisture content and the aeration rate of larval feeding substrates are also reported in this review to enhance the growth of BSFL. As the downstream process after harvesting starts with larval inactivation, various related methods have also been reviewed in relation to its impact on the quality/quantity of larval protein and lipids. Subsequently, the other downstream processes, namely, extraction and transesterification to biodiesel, are finally epitomized from the literature to provide a comprehensive review for the production of unconventional protein and lipid sources from BSFL feedstock. Incontrovertibly, the review accentuates the great potential use of BSFL biomass as a green source of protein and lipids for energy production in the form of biodiesel. The traditional protein and energy sources, preponderantly fishmeal, are unsustainable naturally, pressingly calling for immediate substitutions to cater for the rising demands. Accordingly, this review stresses the benefits of using BSFL biomass in detailing its production from upstream all the way to downstream processes which are green and economical at the same time.

Bee pollens are rich source of essential amino acids and are often considered as complete food for human beings. Herein, we exploited the potential reducing abilities of Bee pollens extract for the eco-friendly preparation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs-G). The resulting NPs were characterized using a combination of microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The analyses confirm the formation of spherical Ag NPs. AgNPs-G obtained from the aqueous extract of bee pollens was used to study their antibacterial properties against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbes using the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration 50 (MIC50) method. The antibacterial properties of AgNPs-G were compared to the properties of chemically synthesized Ag NPs (AgNPs-C) using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent. The green synthesized nanoparticles (AgNPs-G) exhibited a better antibacterial activity against most of the studied strains when compared to the chemically synthesized Ag NPs (AgNPs-C). In addition, the anti-cancer activity of Ag NPs was also studied against human liver and breast carcinoma cell lines by applying MTT-assay. The Ag NPs demonstrated considerable anticancer activity against the studied cell lines and exhibited high IC50 values in both MCF-7 and HepG2 cell lines.

Published: April 2020

Wastewater treatment is crucial to ensure a sustainable supply of clean water, especially for human use. Natural flocculants can overcome the disadvantages of chemical flocculants in wastewater treatment. This study proposes a new natural-based flocculant from the Tacca leontopetaloides plant for leachate treatment. The plant tuber was processed through gelatinization to produce Tacca leontopetaloides biopolymer flocculant (TBPF). The characterization of TBPF for flocculant properties was investigated, and the performance of TBPF on leachate treatment using a standard jar test procedure was examined at different pH values of leachate and TBPF dosages. The characteristics of TBPF in terms of amylose/amylopectin fraction, viscosity, and zeta potential were 26:74, 0.037–0.04 Pa·s, and −13.14 mV, respectively. The presence of –COOH and –OH structure in TBPF indicates the flocculant properties. TBPF reduced the turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), and color from 218 NTU, 214 mg/L, 14201 PtCo to 45.8–54.5 NTU, 19.3–19.9 mg/L, and 852–994 PtCo, respectively, using 240 mg/L of TBPF at pH 3. These results show a high potential of the new plant-based TBPF for leachate treatment and water industry applications.
Do the Mega and Titan Tests Yield Accurate Results? An Investigation into Two Experimental Intelligence Tests
Authors: Redvaldsen David
Published: April 2020

The Mega and Titan Tests were designed by Ronald K. Hoeflin to make fine distinctions in the intellectual stratosphere. The Mega Test purported to measure above-average adult IQ up to and including scores with a rarity of one in a million of the general population. The Titan Test was billed as being even more difficult than the Mega Test. In this article, these claims are subjected to scrutiny. Both tests are renormed using the normal curve of distribution. It is found that the Mega Test has a higher ceiling and a lower floor than the Titan Test. While the Mega Test may thus seem preferable as a psychometric instrument, it is somewhat marred by a number of easy items in its verbal section. Although official scores reported to test-takers are too high, it is likely that the Mega Test does stretch to the one in a million level. The Titan Test does not. Testees who had previously taken standard intelligence tests achieved average scores of 135–145 IQ on those. Since the mean of all scores on the Mega and Titan Tests was found to be IQ 137 and IQ 138, respectively, testees had considerable scope to find their true level without ceiling effects. Both are unusual and non-standard tests which require a great deal of effort to complete. Nevertheless, they deserve consideration as they represent an inventive experimental method of measuring the very highest levels of human intelligence and have been taken by enough subjects to allow norming.
Diazonium Gold Salts as Novel Surface Modifiers: What Have We Learned So Far?
Authors: Ahmad Ahmad A. L. , Workie Bizuneh , Mohamed Ahmed A.
Published: April 2020

The challenges of diazonium salts stabilization have been overcome by their isolation as metal salts such as tetrachloroaurate(III). The cleavage of molecular nitrogen from diazonium salts even at very low potential or on reducing surfaces by fine tuning the substituents on the phenyl ring expanded their applications as surface modifiers in forensic science, nanomedicine engineering, catalysis and energy. The robustness of the metal–carbon bonding produced from diazonium salts reduction has already opened an era for further applications. The integration of experimental and calculations in this field catalyzed its speedy progress. This review provides a narrative of the progress in this chemistry with stress on our recent contribution, identifies potential applications, and highlights the needs in this emerging field. For these reasons, we hope that this review paper serves as motivation for others to enter this developing field of surface modification originating from diazonium salts.

Burkholderia pseudomallei and B. mallei are Gram-negative, facultative intracellular bacteria that cause melioidosis and glanders, respectively. Currently, there are no vaccines for these two diseases. Animal models have been developed to evaluate vaccines and therapeutics. Tissues from infected animals, however, must be fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin (FFPE) before analysis. A brownish staining material in infected tissues that represents the exopolysaccharide of the pathogen was seen by bright field microscopy but not the actual microorganism. Because of these results, FFPE tissue was examined by laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) in an attempt to see the microorganism. Archival FFPE tissues were examined from ten mice, and five nonhuman primates after exposure to B. pseudomallei or B. mallei by LSCM. Additionally, a historical spleen biopsy from a human suspected of exposure to B. mallei was examined. B. pseudomallei was seen in many of the infected tissues from mice. Four out of five nonhuman primates were positive for the pathogen. In the human sample, B. mallei was seen in pyogranulomas in the spleen biopsy. Thus, the presence of the pathogen was validated by LSCM in murine, nonhuman primate, and human FFPE tissues.

Published: April 2020

Sustainable development (SD) has become a crucial challenge globally, particularly in developing countries and cities. SD of peri-urban areas (PUA) has been tackled by a limited number of studies, unlike that of urban areas or cities. The PUAs of Greater Cairo (GC) are no exception; no study had addressed the state of the PUAs in terms of SD. Thus, this study sought to measure and evaluate the progress towards the SD in the PUAs of Greater Cairo, Egypt. Thirteen indicators were extracted from selected documents of the competent international organizations to measure and evaluate the performance of SD in the study area. The study resulted in a variety of charts and maps to explain the progress of SD in each municipality of the PUAs and then classify these municipalities based on their performance in sustainability indicators. The results revealed a wide gap between PUAs’ municipalities and the urban core of Greater Cairo. These results can help urban planners and decision-makers to better recognize the underdeveloped areas on the Greater Cairo peripheries, and hence, to develop the appropriate strategies and policies to improve SD in such areas.
Who cares for syphilis? A cross-sectional study on diagnosis and treatment of syphilis by GPs in Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Authors: Baas Michel , Beers Erna , van Dam Alje P , van Bergen Jan EAM
Published: April 2020

Background

Syphilis is a re-emerging infection. Sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinics and GPs are important providers of STI care in the Netherlands. The role of GPs in syphilis care is assumed to be small, since most men who have sex with men (MSM) visit STI clinics for STI care.

Aim

To explore the role of GPs in the diagnosis and treatment of syphilis.

Design & setting

Data on syphilis diagnostics by GPs in Amsterdam between 2011 and 2017 were retrieved from laboratories, covering 90% of the GPs. The study also used the academic GPs’ network database to explore the management of syphilis by GPs between 2013 and 2018.

Method

Syphilis tests requested by GPs were analysed and compared with annual reports of the STI clinic. Patients with an International Classification of Primary Care-1 (ICPC-1) syphilis code were identified in the GP database. Cases diagnosed by the GP were evaluated whether they were treated by the GP or referred to secondary care.

Results

In the laboratory database, GPs had diagnosed syphilis 522 times, compared with 2515 times by the STI clinics. Based on the 90% coverage of GPs, the contribution of all Amsterdam’s GPs was 19% of the total number of diagnoses. Consequently, the annual incidence of syphilis diagnosed by the GP was 10.2 per 100 000 inhabitants. Of the 43 cases identified in the GP database, six (14.0%) were referred and 33 (76.7%) were treated by a GP.

Conclusion

Although for an individual GP, syphilis is rare to diagnose, GPs in Amsterdam do contribute to the rate of syphilis diagnosis and appear to treat the majority of cases that they have diagnosed.
Discussing alcohol use with the GP: a qualitative study
Authors: Coste Sandra , Gimenez Laetitia , Comes Aurélie , Abdelnour Xavier , Dupouy Julie , Escourrou Emile
Published: April 2020

Background

Despite most GPs recognising their role in the early diagnosis of alcohol use disorder (AUD), only 23% of GPs routinely screen for alcohol use. One reason GPs report for not screening is their relationship with patients; questions regarding alcohol use are considered a disturbance of a relationship built on mutual trust.

Aim

To analyse the feelings and experiences of patients with AUD concerning early screening for alcohol use by GPs.

Design & setting

A qualitative study of patients (n= 12) with AUD in remission or treatment, recruited from various medical settings.

Method

Semi-structured interviews were conducted, audiorecorded, and transcribed verbatim. The authors conducted an inductive analysis based on grounded theory. The analysis was performed until theoretical data saturation was reached.

Results

The participants experienced AUD as a chronic, destructive, and shameful disease. The participants expected their GPs to play a primary role in addressing AUD by kind listening, and providing information and support. If the GPs expressed a non-judgmental attitude, the participants could confide in them; this moment was identified as a key milestone in their trajectory, allowing relief and a move toward treatment. The participants thought that any consultation could be an opportunity to discuss alcohol use and noted that such discussions required a psychological and benevolent approach.

Conclusion

The participants felt fear or denial from the GPs, even though they felt that discussing alcohol use is part of the GP’s job. The participants requested that GPs adopt non-judgmental attitudes and kindness when approaching the subject of alcohol use.

In recent years, the Greenland ice sheet has been losing mass at an average rate of 262 ± 21 Gt yr–1 (2007–2011; Andersen et al. 2015). Part of this mass loss was due to increases in melt, reducing the surface mass budget (Enderlin et al. 2014). Also, the acceleration of many marine-terminating outlet glaciers increased the dynamic mass loss (Rignot et al. 2008). Both mass-loss mechanisms are linked to recent increases in atmospheric and oceanic temperatures (Dutton et al. 2015). For instance, in summer 2012 Greenland experienced exceptionally warm atmospheric conditions, causing nearly the entire ice-sheet surface to melt for two periods of several days (Nghiem et al. 2012) and contributing to the largest annual ice-sheet mass loss on record (Khan et al. 2015). This is in contrast to a return to more average conditions in 2015 (Tedesco et al. in press).

The term prophet comes from Arabic, with the origin of the word naba’, which is usually interpreted as news, and stories. In the history of the world, the prophet has always been synonymous with the discussion of a special person by the God who delivered the message to guide his people, as well as smart people who teach humans about various disciplines to worship and understand their God. There are many prophets who have been sent to the world with different disciplines. Among astronomers, one of the prophets who were featured was Idris as. Because, as part of the name of the prophet who must be believed in Muslims, Idris as was one of the most important people in the study of Falak science (science of astronomy), because a lot of literature explains that he was the first human who discovered astronomy. This article is the result of the analysis literature study provides an explanation regarding the biography of the prophet Idris and his genealogy contained in several holy books, namely the Torah, the Bible, and the Qur'an.

The core of historical cities in India is complex areas; having historical urban fabric symbolizing the origins of the city usually endowed with significant heritage buildings and serving as a place of identity for the entire city. The core of Mysore is one such historical and prime heritage city in India. The city is known as the ‘city of palaces’. The City of Mysore originated as a small nucleus with Ambavilas palace as the focal point and has expanded around the palace as when required. The origination point is currently the core area which is the oldest city part having many prevailing heritage buildings. The core of Mysore has historic urban fabric and exhibits unique characteristics that contribute significantly to the good imageability of the city. The core is in the phase of transformation due to rapid urbanization. The disharmonious developments have resulted in the loss historical urban fabric and character, thus tarnishing the image of the city. The methodology for the study is based on field survey adopting visual survey method for data collection by techniques like photography, diagrams or maps and analyzing various literatures to comprehend the elements of urban fabric, historic evolution, growth and development of urban core areas. The paper attempts to analyze the urban fabric of Mysore core, factors affecting and suggest strategies and measures for improving the urban fabric for conserving the character of city core. The paper also intends to emphasize on challenges of core areas undergoing constant pressure of transformation prone to consequential effects of urbanization resulting in loss of character. The proposed strategies are some of the tools and techniques that could be adopted by urban designer, planner, and local planning authorities in improving the urban fabric of core area.
The Perceived Attributes of EMA and its Relation to the Adoption of the Practice: Malaysian Evidence
Authors:   Senior Lecturer, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia., Ariffin* Avylin Roziana Mohd
Published: April 2020

Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) is an extension to the traditional management accounting that helps the managers to identify environmental costs and realize the impact of their operation towards the environment. The adoption of this practice is critical in order to address environmental issues. However, as most of the practice of EMA is underutilized and diverse, further promotion is needed if it is to help the business to move towards sustainability. Surprisingly, even those firms which are regarded as being more environmentally-sensitive are not necessarily to use environmental management accounting. This has led to the literature gap pertaining factors that influence firms to apply environmental accounting. Therefore, this research is interested in extending the focus of EMA adoption in environmentally sensitive industries and understands the factors influencing them. Based on Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) perspective, this study attempts to look at how accountants perceived EMA and how this may affect the adoption of the system. By utilising a survey, questionnaires were mailed to the accountants of public listed companies in Malaysia. Six attributes namely the cost, relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, compatibility and trialabilty are tested in this paper to determine the motivations of EMA adoption. The findings of the study are expected to explain the conditions that facilitate the implementation of the practice and help to provide ways to increase the adoption rate among companies.

The research on plant growth estimation of sugarcane plants is a key factor ongoing now days. The problem of plant growth and yield estimation of sugarcane plants is well studied. There are number of solutions recommended by different researchers, still they suffer with poor accuracy. Existing methods measure the plant growth according to the rainfall and temperature which introduces poor performance. To improve the performance, an efficient Climate Hydro Image Soil Model (CHISM) is presented. The model considers various properties namely climate conditions like temperature, humidity and hydrologic features namely rainfall, water poured and soil conditions towards plant growth. The method uses the satellite images in obtaining the soil condition, by applying image processing technique, the soil condition are obtained. Remaining features are obtained through the regional data set provided by agriculture sector. Using all these features, the method estimates various influence measure on different features considered. The method computes rainfall influence measure (RIM), water influence measure (WIM), temperature influence measure (TIM), humidity influence measure (HIM), and soil influence measure (SIM). Using all these measure, the model computes the plant growth rate (PGR) and Yield Rate (YR) in different time window. According to the measures estimated, the model performs water regulation. The method improves the performance of plant growth estimation and crop yield.

802.1x is a part of the IEEE 802.1 group of Networking Protocols. It is mainly used to implement Port-based Network Access Control (PNAC) by providing an authenticating mechanism to connect to LAN or WAN. Existing attacks on the 802.1x are mainly focused on the older version of the protocol which does not provide encryption or enable authentication on a packet-by-packet basis. Later versions of the protocol includes MACsec to provide a two layer encryption to maintain the data integrity of the network packets. It also included support for devices like printers and VOiP phones which led to an easy attack vector. An attacker could easily spoof the MAC address to get into the corporate network. In this paper we go through the 802.1x protocol, the authentication mechanism of the protocol, the existing attacks on the protocol and a new attack to bypass Network Access Control enforced by the 802.1x. The proposed attack is an improvement on the NACKered script which was built upon the Alva Lease's Duckwall IV. We have added a couple of modules to run the responder script as well as an awareness script to keep it persistent. We end the paper by listing out the best practices that must be followed when setting up a corporate network with Network Access Control with 802.1x.
