Climate Justice Implications of Banning Air-Freighted Fresh Produce
Authors: Laryea Ebenezer , Hosseinian-Far Amin , Derrick Simon
Published: November 2023

Background: Airfreight transport refers to the shipment of goods by air from one location to another and is often perceived as a contributor to global carbon emissions. The environmental impacts associated with airfreight are of notable and genuine concern. Such concerns have often led to calls for measures to ban or limit air freight as a mode of transportation for goods. Whilst the majority of these calls are perceived to be well placed, it is nevertheless essential to acknowledge the climate justice implications associated with such measures, particularly in the context of perishable products like fresh produce. Methods: The aim of this study is to thoroughly examine the socioeconomic implications of banning air-freighted fresh produce and to recommend practices that can minimize the environmental impacts. Utilizing Blue Skies Holdings Ltd., Pitsford, UK as a case study, this paper undertakes a comprehensive analysis of the potential climate justice ramifications associated with the prohibition of air-freighted fresh produce. Results: The analysis highlights the intricate interplay between the environmental and socioeconomic dimensions of the issue. By investigating the carbon emissions attributed to aviation and air logistics in particular and meticulously scrutinizing the possible consequences of an airfreight ban in relation to vulnerable communities within developing economies that are heavily reliant on fresh produce exports, the study contributes insights to guide policy discourse and the decision-making processes within commercial entities with respect to their carbon emissions reduction strategies. Conclusions: Accordingly, this study provides a number of recommendations for various actors, particularly commercial stakeholders, who deal with air-freighted fresh produce.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is among the most ubiquitous bacteria in the natural world, exhibiting metabolic and physiological versatility, which makes it highly adaptable. Imipenem + cilastatin and tetracycline are antibiotic combinations commonly used to treat infections caused by P. aeruginosa, including serious infections such as sepsis. In the context of bacterial infections, biofilm, formed by bacterial cells surrounded by extracellular substances forming a matrix, plays a pivotal role in the resistance of P. aeruginosa to antibiotics. This study aimed to characterize a representative panel of P. aeruginosa isolates from septicemias, assessing their susceptibility to various antibiotics, specifically, imipenem + cilastatin and tetracycline, and the impact of these treatments on biofilm formation. Results from antibiotic susceptibility tests revealed sensitivity in most isolates to six antibiotics, with four showing near or equal to 100% sensitivity. However, resistance was observed in some antibiotics, albeit at minimal levels. Notably, tetracycline showed a 100% resistance phenotype, while imipenem + cilastatin predominantly displayed an intermediate phenotype (85.72%), with some resistance (38.1%). Microdilution susceptibility testing identified effective combinations against different isolates. Regarding biofilm formation, P. aeruginosa demonstrated the ability to produce biofilms. The staining of microtiter plates confirmed that specific concentrations of imipenem + cilastatin and tetracycline could inhibit biofilm production. A significant proportion of isolates exhibited resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics because of the presence of modifying genes (aac(3)-II and aac(3)-III), reducing their effectiveness. This study also explored various resistance genes, unveiling diverse resistance mechanisms among P. aeruginosa isolates. Several virulence genes were detected, including the las quorum-sensing system genes (lasI and lasR) in a significant proportion of isolates, contributing to virulence factor activation. However, genes related to the type IV pili (T4P) system (pilB and pilA) were found in limited isolates. In conclusion, this comprehensive study sheds light on the intricate dynamics of P. aeruginosa, a remarkably adaptable bacterium with a widespread presence in the natural world. Our findings provide valuable insights into the ongoing battle against P. aeruginosa infections, highlighting the need for tailored antibiotic therapies and innovative approaches to combat biofilm-related resistance.

Phages influence microbial communities, can be applied in phage therapy, or may serve as bioindicators, e.g., in (waste)water management. We here characterized the Escherichia phage vB_EcoS-EE09 isolated from an urban wastewater treatment plant effluent. Phage vB_EcoS-EE09 belongs to the genus Dhillonvirus, class Caudoviricetes. It has an icosahedral capsid with a long non-contractile tail and a dsDNA genome with an approximate size of 44 kb and a 54.6% GC content. Phage vB_EcoS-EE09 infected 12 out of the 17 E. coli strains tested. We identified 16 structural phage proteins, including the major capsid protein, in cell-free lysates by protein mass spectrometry. Comparative proteomics of protein extracts of infected E. coli cells revealed that proteins involved in amino acid and protein metabolism were more abundant in infected compared to non-infected cells. Among the proteins involved in the stress response, 74% were less abundant in the infected cultures compared to the non-infected controls, with six proteins showing significant less abundance. Repressing the expression of these proteins may be a phage strategy to evade host defense mechanisms. Our results contribute to diversifying phage collections, identifying structural proteins to enable better reliability in annotating taxonomically related phage genomes, and understanding phage–host interactions at the protein level.
Nanograss-Assembled NiCo2S4 as an Efficient Platinum-Free Counter Electrode for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell
Authors: Alsharif Shada A.
Published: November 2023

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are often viewed as the potential future of photovoltaic systems and have garnered significant attention in solar energy research. In this groundbreaking research, we introduced a novel solvothermal method to fabricate a unique “grass-like” pattern on fluorine-doped tin oxide glass (FTO), specifically designed for use as a counter electrode in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) assemblies. Through rigorous structural and morphological evaluations, we ascertained the successful deposition of nickel cobalt sulfide (NCS) on the FTO surface, exhibiting the desired grass-like morphology. Electrocatalytic performance assessment of the developed NCS-1 showed results that intriguingly rivaled those of the acclaimed platinum catalyst, especially during the conversion of I3 to I− as observed through cyclic voltammetry. Remarkably, when integrated into a solar cell assembly, both NCS-1 and NCS-2 electrodes exhibited encouraging power conversion efficiencies of 6.60% and 6.29%, respectively. These results become particularly noteworthy when compared to the 7.19% efficiency of a conventional Pt-based electrode under similar testing conditions. Central to the performance of the NCS-1 and NCS-2 electrodes is their unique thin and sharp grass-like morphology. This structure, vividly showcased through scanning electron microscopy, provides a vast surface area and an abundance of catalytic sites, pivotal for the catalytic reactions involving the electrolytes in DSSCs. In summation, given their innovative synthesis approach, affordability, and remarkable electrocatalytic attributes, the newly developed NCS counter electrodes stand out as potent contenders in future dye-sensitized solar cell applications.
Transfer Bandwidth Optimization for Multichannel Time-Correlated Single-Photon-Counting Systems Using a Router-Based Architecture: New Advancements and Results
Authors: Giudici Andrea , Acconcia Giulia , Malanga Francesco , Rech Ivan
Published: November 2023

Time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) is a powerful technique for time-resolved measurement of fast and weak light signals used in a variety of scientific fields, including biology, medicine, and quantum cryptography. Unfortunately, given its repetitive nature, TCSPC is recognized as a relatively slow technique. In the last ten years, attempts have been made to speed it up by developing multichannel integrated architectures. Yet, for the solutions proposed thus far, the measurement speed has not increased proportionally to the number of channels, reducing the benefits of a multichannel approach. Recent theoretical studies and prototypes have shown that it is possible to implement a new multichannel architecture, so-called router-based architecture, capable of optimizing the efficiency of data transfer from the integrated chip to the data processor, increasing the overall measurement speed. However, the first implementations failed to achieve the theoretical results due to implementation flaws. In this paper, we present a new logic for the router-based architecture that can operate at the same laser frequency and solve the issues of the previous implementation. Alongside the new logic, we present a new integrated low-jitter delay line combined with a new method for timing-signal distribution that allows the proper management of the pixel timing information. The new implementation is a step closer to realizing a router-based architecture that achieves the expected theoretical results. Simulations and bench tests support the results here reported.

Published: November 2023

Proper waste separation is essential for recycling. However, it can be challenging to identify waste materials accurately, especially in real-world settings. In this study, a systematic literature review (SLR) was carried out to identify the physical enablers (sensors and computing devices), datasets, and machine learning (ML) algorithms used for waste identification in indirect separation systems. This review analyzed 55 studies, following the Kitchenham guidelines. The SLR identified three levels of autonomy in waste segregation systems: full, moderate, and low. Edge computing devices are the most widely used for data processing (9 of 17 studies). Five types of sensors are used for waste identification: inductive, capacitive, image-based, sound-based, and weight-based sensors. Visible-image-based sensors are the most common in the literature. Single classification is the most popular dataset type (65%), followed by bounding box detection (22.5%). Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are the most commonly used ML technique for waste identification (24 out of 26 articles). One of the main conclusions is that waste identification faces challenges with real-world complexity, limited data in datasets, and a lack of detailed waste categorization. Future work in waste identification should focus on deployment and testing in non-controlled environments, expanding system functionalities, and exploring sensor fusion.
Dedicated Cone-Beam Breast CT: Reproducibility of Volumetric Glandular Fraction with Advanced Image Reconstruction Methods

Published: November 2023

Dedicated cone-beam breast computed tomography (CBBCT) is an emerging modality and provides fully three-dimensional (3D) images of the uncompressed breast at an isotropic voxel resolution. In an effort to translate this modality to breast cancer screening, advanced image reconstruction methods are being pursued. Since radiographic breast density is an established risk factor for breast cancer and CBBCT provides volumetric data, this study investigates the reproducibility of the volumetric glandular fraction (VGF), defined as the proportion of fibroglandular tissue volume relative to the total breast volume excluding the skin. Four image reconstruction methods were investigated: the analytical Feldkamp–Davis–Kress (FDK), a compressed sensing-based fast, regularized, iterative statistical technique (FRIST), a fully supervised deep learning approach using a multi-scale residual dense network (MS-RDN), and a self-supervised approach based on Noise-to-Noise (N2N) learning. Projection datasets from 106 women who participated in a prior clinical trial were reconstructed using each of these algorithms at a fixed isotropic voxel size of (0.273 mm3). Each reconstructed breast volume was segmented into skin, adipose, and fibroglandular tissues, and the VGF was computed. The VGF did not differ among the four reconstruction methods (p = 0.167), and none of the three advanced image reconstruction algorithms differed from the standard FDK reconstruction (p > 0.862). Advanced reconstruction algorithms developed for low-dose CBBCT reproduce the VGF to provide quantitative breast density, which can be used for risk estimation.

Published: November 2023

Physical inactivity is a prevalent concern amongst adults living with sight loss. It is essential to understand why these individuals are inactive and how we can increase physical activity levels among them. Therefore, this study aims to explore the barriers and facilitators to physical activity for individuals living with sight loss. Seven individuals with self-reported sight loss living in Cambridgeshire were recruited for three focus groups. Focus group data were analysed using thematic analysis to identify key themes. Seven themes which represented a barrier, or a facilitator were identified: transport, accessing information, one size fits all, negative previous experience, visually impaired sport, women in disability sport, and taster days. To increase physical activity levels amongst those living with sight loss, interventions need to be focused on the organisational level. This includes producing more accessible environments that can be produced by providing training for sport and physical activity professionals and by ensuring the physical environment is inclusive for those living with sight loss.

Stunting is a condition of hindered child growth, which can be attributed to various factors, including a history of low birth weight (LBW), exclusive breastfeeding practices, and the cleanliness of the environment. The primary objective of this research is to pinpoint the factors associated with stunting among children aged 24-59 months in South Alai Village, which falls under the jurisdiction of UPT Puskesmas Alai in Kepulauan Meranti Regency. The data collection period for this study spanned from May 29 to June 20, 2023, and it involved the use of questionnaires and stadiometer measurements. The research design is analytical, utilizing a cross-sectional approach, with data analysis encompassing both univariate and bivariate analyses, including the Chi-Square test.The univariate analysis revealed the following statistics: out of the total sample, 53 toddlers (73%) did not exhibit signs of stunting, 69 toddlers (95%) were never born with LBW, 71 toddlers (97%) received exclusive breastfeeding, and 68 toddlers (93%) resided in environments characterized by satisfactory sanitation conditions. The results of the Chi-Square test, however, indicated that there is no significant relationship between a history of LBW, exclusive breastfeeding practices, environmental sanitation conditions, and the occurrence of stunting (p-value = 1.000).In summary, the majority of children aged 24-59 months in South Alai Village have not experienced LBW, received exclusive breastfeeding, and lived in environments with adequate sanitation. Consequently, there is no noteworthy association between a history of LBW, exclusive breastfeeding practices, environmental sanitation conditions, and the incidence of stunting in these children. The findings from this study are anticipated to enhance mothers' awareness regarding the significance of exclusive breastfeeding practices, appropriate nutrition for children beyond six months of age, and the importance of maintaining a clean environment to prevent the risk of stunting, particularly among toddlers. Mothers of toddlers are encouraged to improve their understanding of stunting, pay attention to their child's nutritional status, and regularly take their toddler to the local integrated health post (Posyandu) for growth and developmental monitoring.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: Infant motor development is crucial because it bridges the movements that occur during life, produces perceptual information, provides a means to gain knowledge about the world, and allows social interaction. If the basic motor stage is not passed, then there will be obstacles in motor development. Early stimulation will be needed to optimize the growth and development of children according to their stages naturally. Tummy time is one obvious form of early stimulation for muscle tone, posture, and later development. Objective: To determine the relationship between tummy time and gross motor development of normal infants in the breastfeeding community in Denpasar. Methods: An observational study using an analytical cross-sectional study, involving 30 respondents from the breastfeeding mother community in Denpasar. Primary data was obtained through a google form using the WhatsApp blast. Data analysis used Spearman rank correlation test. Results: Showed a significant relationship between the variable doing tummy time and the variable gross motor development sitting in normal infants, whether it was seen from the strong or not the correlation (with very strong results because the correlation coefficient was close to 1), the significance of the correlation results was 0.000 (less than 0.01 and 0.05) and the direction of the correlation is positive. So, Ho is rejected and H1 is accepted. Conclusion: Tummy time is proven to have a close relationship with the achievement of normal infant gross motor development with reference to the ability to sit at the age of six months. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended to do tummy time as a form of stimulation to achieve gross motor development of babies that the public needs to know.

The Mediating Effect of Social Media Use on the Relationship between Personality Trait and Gambling behavior among University Students in Northern Cyprus
Authors: Jarrar Yosra , Awobamise Ayodeji O. , Nweke Gabriel E.
Published: November 2023

Objectives: This paper aims to investigate the relationship between personality traits, gambling behavior, and social media use.
Methods:  A questionnaire comprised of the Five-Factor Model (Costa & McCrae, 1992), the Gambling Behavior Scale by Jeff and Gregory (2010) and the Social Networking Time Use Scale (Olufadi, 2015) was administered to 718 students in Northern Cyprus. Pearson’s correlation and multiple linear regression analysis were carried out to test if the five personality traits have a significant positive relationship with gambling behavior.
Results: Data analysis showed a significant positive relationship between social media use and gambling behavior. The study reported that while the relationship between three personality traits (extraversion, neuroticism, and openness to experience) and gambling behavior is partially mediated by social media use, the relationship between agreeableness as a personality trait and gambling behavior is not mediated by social media use. Finally, findings showed that the impact of conscientiousness on gambling behavior is influenced by the frequency and time spent on social media.
Conclusions:  In light of the reported impact of personality traits on gambling behavior, further research should seek to find out what it is about social media that encourages gambling behavior, and what combination of factors is most likely to force social media users to part with money to play or gamble. Finally, different motivations for social media use can be tested as moderators in the relationship between personality traits and gambling behavior.
