Authors: Morozov Alexander , Tishchenko Elena , Slavyantsev Maksim
Published: September 2024

Artificial intelligence and machine learning methods build investment routes to balance models between private and public sources of financing. In this respect, they are of national importance for import substitution and technological sovereignty. Decision support systems build business development scenarios based on marked-up data. They reduce the risks of projects connected with import substitution and national
technological sovereignty. Early integrated planning and balancing of developer and investor capabilities can help other venture and high-tech projects by balancing various sources of private and government financing. This article introduces a new development method of machine learning and artificial intelligence based on an ultraprecise
neural network. The method automates the task of navigating technological projects using investment financing tools. It builds a continuous multi-agent investment route to reduce the risks of technological projects in terms of private and government investments. In fact, the method offers an algorithm that connects the fundraising stage, the type of project, and the type of funding source. The research objective was to strategize the development, implementation, and scaling of artificial intelligence methods and scenario multi-agent modeling to solve economic coordination tasks of raising public and private funds by personal investment routes and integrated investment routes. The authors rationalized the development, implementation, and scaling of personal and integrated investment routes, defined the development principles, and designed a checklist. They also developed a methodology for using artificial intelligence algorithms. The practical part featured a case of strategizing regional economic potentials in terms of raising additional funds by multi-agent modeling of financial and economic interaction of individual investment projects and integrated investment projects. The authors assessed the long-term multiplicative effect of investment projects on sectoral and intersectoral cooperation, which increases the regional investment attractiveness. The study relied on the theory of strategy and methodology of strategizing developed by Professor Vladimir L. Kvint.
Strategy for Developing Regional Auto-Tourism
Authors: Kudrevich Arina
Published: September 2024

The Russian tourism industry gets its current development impulse from reorientation to domestic tourism. Domestic tourism demand depends on the growth of prices for tourist transport services. In this regard, automobile tourism is a sensible solution for household and corporate budgets. The Vologda Region with its historical, cultural, and natural potential has good prospects for auto-tourism. The study identifies strategic priorities for the development of auto-tourism, which could increase the tourist traffic and tour service consumption in the region. The cartographic analysis of road infrastructure revealed the following obstacles to the development of auto-tourism: bad quality of roads, uneven distribution of roadside service facilities on the main tourist routes, and geographical remoteness of tourist attraction centers. The analysis of trends and factors of external and internal environment made it possible to identify the strategic priorities for the development of auto-tourism in the Vologda Region. The author formulated the concept of roadside service facilities development as a tool for the implementation of the priorities identified above.

Authors: Sangeetha Vivekanandan , Sibi Reiva , Mohandas Sabarija A. , Gangadharan Praveena
Published: September 2024

Rapid industrialization and its associated industrial processes demand enormous quantity of water. Consequently, wastewater is produced with undesirable compounds and is detrimental to the environment. Industrial wastewater is complex, as it comprises various types of pollutants such as toxic heavy metals, phenolic organic compounds, surfactants, and persisting organic compounds (pharmaceuticals, pesticides, endocrine disruptors), hydrocarbons, and so on. Conventional treatment methods namely adsorption and coagulation involve enormous chemical requirements; ozonation, membrane filtration, and ion exchange require huge capital investments and are non-energy efficient; and other biological treatments require skilled supervision and startup period. Moreover, conventional methods fail to utilize the high energy content of industrial wastewaters and their resource potential remains unused. Microbial electrochemical techniques (METs) are synergistic, that leverages the microbial metabolism for power production with simultaneous substrate degradation. Further, a wide variety of industrial wastewaters from distilleries, breweries, dairy processing units, paper and pulping mills, pharmaceutical industries, tanneries, and electroplating units differ in their complexity, strength, and characteristics. For instance, lignin and its derivatives in the pulping wastewater facilitate electron transfer resulting in high power densities and impede methanogens in the anode chamber in METs; whereas distillery wastewater with high chemical oxygen demand content is conducive to be used as a substrate in METs. The stable composition and high organic content of industrial wastewaters facilitate high current densities and are therefore suitable for METs. Therefore, this chapter aims to explore the suitability of various industrial wastewaters as substrate for METs.

Published: September 2024

Utilizing different catholytes in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has demonstrated considerable potential in the remediation of industrial effluents. The choice of a catholyte is crucial in enhancing the performance and efficiency of MFCs, which in turn has a significant influence on the overall wastewater treatment process. Several catholytes, such as oxygen, ferricyanide, and other redox mediators, have been discovered and utilized to enhance electron transfer kinetics and optimize power production in MFCs. The selection of an appropriate catalyst is determined by factors such as the distinctive composition of wastewater, the desired level of treatment effectiveness, and the economic viability. The highest mean power output was attained by combining ferricyanide with a multilayer structure, such as a hexacyanoferrate cathode. Utilizing several catholytes in MFCs is an innovative and encouraging approach for treating industrial wastewater. The potential of MFCs to provide sustainable and efficient solutions for industrial wastewater treatment is increasing as catalyst selection, system design, and operating procedures continue to progress. Fuel cells are anticipated to operate within the mesophilic temperature range, which is optimal for wastewater purification.

Rural slaughterhouses often lack strict effluent treatment rules, resulting in inadequate treatment prior to release into water bodies. Slaughterhouse wastewater (SWW) is a high-strength effluent, posing risks of contamination to ecosystems and human health. To tackle the need for suitable technologies in these areas, this study evaluated a 215 L pilot-scale fixed-bed biofilm reactor (FBBR), known for its simplicity in implementation, operation, and maintenance. During the operation, an initial startup period, with the liquid fraction of fruit and vegetable waste (LF-FVW) was conducted, followed by a gradual transition to SWW, creating a co-digestion period during the substrate transition. Organic load variations (1.59, 3.35, and 4.00 kgCOD/m3·d), corresponding to flow rates of 50, 75, and 120 L/d, respectively, were implemented to address potential alterations in effluent concentration and composition in authentic rural settings. Removal rates of up to 83.69, 91.81, 87.00, and 92.00% were achieved for COD, sCOD, TS, and VS, respectively, with an average removal of 32.00% for TN, and biogas production exceeded 300 L/h at 4.00 kgCOD/m3·d. These results suggest that FBBR implementation in rural areas effectively confronts SWW treatment challenges by reducing contamination, generating biogas, and adapting to rural conditions.

Published: September 2024

Hydraulic fracturing requires large volumes of water, and it is therefore crucial to establish sustainable water sources. We analyzed the flowback and water produced from three wells using different fresh-to-recycled water ratios for hydraulic fracturing: freshwater only, 20% recycled water, and one-seventh (∼15%) recycled water. Water samples were collected over a 36-day period (flowback started on day 0). There were no significant differences between the total organic carbon (TOC) levels of the wells, but the total dissolved solid (TDS) concentrations increased for all wells over time, and there were significant differences among the wells. The TDS level of the well fractured with 20% recycled water was significantly higher than that of the other wells. Liquid chromatography quadruple time-of-flight mass spectrometry revealed ethoxylated functional groups in all three wells. Agilent qualitative analysis software B.06.00 was used to perform a qualitative analysis based on the exact mass of organic compounds within 1 ppm mass accuracy. The results of this study provide new insights into the quality of flowback and produced water from wells fractured using different fresh-to-recycled water ratios and can be used as a reference for improving the reusability of treated water and reducing wastewater discharge.
Seasonal dynamics and hydrogeological assessment of Najafgarh drain and its irrigation channels for agricultural purposes in Southwest Delhi, India
Authors: Bisht Mamta , Shirvastava Manoj , LR Pooja
Published: September 2024

This research paper focuses on evaluating the suitability of drain water, whether untreated or treated, for irrigation purposes in a peri-urban region of southwest Delhi, India. A total of 11 drain water samples were collected during the pre-monsoon (PRM) and post-monsoon (POM) seasons. A comprehensive assessment of various water quality parameters, including pH, EC, major cations (Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+), anions (Cl−, HCO3−, SO42−, NO3−, F−), heavy metals, and irrigation water quality (SAR, Na%, RSC, KR, MH, PI) were analyzed. The results revealed that the drain water was highly unsuitable and marginally suitable for irrigation in PRM and POM. The Wilcox diagram classified 91% of samples as doubtful to unsuitable during PRM but only 63% during POM due to the rainfall. Heavy metal concentrations often exceeded permissible limits, with Fe ranging from 0.98 to 8.65 ppm (PRM) and 0.004 to 10.32 ppm (POM). Other metals like Mn (0.12–0.98 ppm PRM), Zn (0.02–2.54 ppm POM), Cd (0–0.031 ppm POM), and Cu (0.07–0.345 ppm POM) also showed elevated levels. The chemical composition of the water was influenced by evaporation and rock–water interactions as indicated by Gibbs diagrams in both the seasons.
Thermal chemical pretreatment of waste-activated sludge for enhanced solubilization and biogas production: a review
Authors: Munshi Faris Mohammad A. , Almegbl Abdulaziz Mohammed , Rahmani Ali Mohammad , Khursheed Abbas , Ali Muntjeer , Khursheed Anwar
Published: September 2024

Waste-activated sludge (WAS) generation is increasing due to the increased generation of wastewater owing to industrialization and urbanization. The disposal of WAS is a significant environmental and financial concern that can be offset by stabilization and valorization via anaerobic digestion (AD). However, the biodegradation is limited due to microbial cells and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Physical, chemical, biological, and hybrid pretreatments and the addition of accelerant materials for enhancing direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) are among the strategies to overcome the poor biodegradation of WAS. Alkaline pretreatment disintegrates the floc structure of WAS by increasing the osmotic pressure, while microwave irradiation has thermal and a-thermal effects and increases the availability of organics for biodegradation. Moreover, the combination of alkaline and thermal pretreatments has synergic effects on solubilization, biogas production, and dewaterability. The disintegration of WAS is recognized by alteration in volatile solid (VS) content, sCOD, BOD/sCOD, turbidity, nutrients solubilization, dewaterability, particle size, specific surface area, change functional group, alteration in microorganism community, microorganism abundance, color, moisture content, lag phase, and biogas production. Higher doses of pretreatment increase COD solubilization but not biodegradable COD. Maximum COD solubilization ranged from 2 to 37% in alkaline, 21 to 260% in the microwave (MW), and 28 to 624% in hybrid pretreatments.

Naringin Affects Caspase-3, IL-1β, and HIF-1α Levels in Experimental Kidney Ischemia-Reperfusion in Rats
Authors: Danis Esra Gulsum , Acar Gozde , Dasdelen Dervis , Solmaz Merve , Mogulkoc Rasim , Baltaci Abdulkerim Kasim
Published: September 2024

Background:

Microvascular dysfunction develops in tissues after Ischemia-Reperfusion (IR). The
current study aimed to determine the effect of naringin supplementation on kidney caspase-3, IL-1β, and
HIF-1α levels and kidney histology in rats undergoing unilateral nephrectomy and kidney-ischemia reperfusion.

Methods:

The study was conducted on 8-12 weeks old 40 Wistar-type male rats. Experimental renal ischemia-
reperfusion and unilateral nephrectomy were performed under general anesthesia in rats. Experimental
groups were formed as follows: 1-Control group, 2-Sham control + Vehicle group, 3- Renal ischemia-reperfusion
(Renal I+R) + Vehicle group, 4-Renal I+R + Naringin (50 mg/kg/day) group (3 days application) group,
5-Renal I+R + Naringin (100 mg/kg/day) group (3 days supplementation). Nephrectomy in the left kidneys
and the ischemia for 45 minutes and reperfusion in the right kidneys followed by 72 hours of reperfusion.
Naringin was administered intraperitoneally at the beginning of the reperfusion, 24 hours and 48 hours later.
At the end of the experiments, blood was first taken from the heart in animals under general anesthesia. Then,
the animals were killed by cervical dislocation, and kidney tissue samples were taken. Tissues were evaluated
for caspase-3, IL-1β, and HIF-1α as well as histologically.

Results:

As a result of ischemia in kidney tissues, HIF-1α decreased, while caspase-3 and IL-1β increased. IR
also caused damage to the kidney tissue. However, naringin supplementation corrected the deterioration to a
certain extent.

Conclusion:

The results of the study showed that naringin may have protective effects on kidney damage due
to anti-inflammatory and antiapoptosis mechanisms caused by unilateral nephrectomy and IR in rats.

Authors: De Bernardo Giuseppe , Crisci Valeria , Centanni Fabio , Giordano Maurizio , Perrone Serafina , Buonocore Giuseppe , Mandato Claudia
Published: September 2024

:

The cornerstone of treatment for respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants is surfactant
administration, traditionally performed through an invasive procedure involving tracheal intubation
and mechanical ventilation. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in exploring
less invasive methods of surfactant delivery to mitigate the associated risks. Currently, several
techniques are under evaluation, including intratracheal instillation using a thin catheter, aerosolized
or nebulized administration, and guided administration by supraglottic airway devices. One
such method is surfactant administration through laryngeal or supraglottic airway, which involves
placing a laryngeal mask without the need for laryngoscopy and administering surfactant through
the device. The simplicity of laryngeal mask insertion could potentially streamline the surfactant
delivery process, eliminating the necessity for advanced skills. This narrative review aimed to assess
the current evidence in the literature regarding the benefits and risks associated with surfactant
administration through a laryngeal supraglottic airway.
Experimental and Fe Numerical Analysis Of Rc Shear Walls Retrofitted Using Cfrp and Steel Plates
Authors: Almassri Belal
Published: September 2024

Introduction

Shear walls are recognized to be one of the main structural systems that resist lateral loads such as wind and earthquakes. This paper presents some advanced experimental and finite element FE analyses performed on five shear wall samples; four specimens were retrofitted using two different techniques.

Methods

The experimental program presents five specimens retrofitted using both CFRP and an external steel plate. The debonding of CFRP was the dominant mode of failure for the first two tested shear walls retrofitted with CFRP, so adding an external steel plate was an available solution that was conducted to increase the load capacity of the remaining specimens. A 3D finite element FE model was created using the commercial software Abaqus. This paper introduces a new and original hybrid strengthening of the shear walls (using CFRP and steel plates), which has not been studied before in the literature, and also shows some advanced features to simulate the CFRP attachment to the concrete layer to capture both the load capacity and the debonding failure, which was observed in the experimental results.

Results

The FE results were in good agreement with the experimental results for all tested specimens.

Conclusion

The retrofitted shear walls using CFRP and steel plate recovered almost 38% of the shear capacity of the control specimen.

Published: September 2024

Research on toxic plants must be communicated on a larger scale as much as possible to associations and communities of livestock farmers that promote the existence of this economic sector. The objective was to provide the community with a practical knowledge and identification tool on plants toxic to livestock and other domestic mammals, where based on basic research information from bibliographic review, experience of primary field data, provided by ranchers, butlers and farm managers such as ranchers from high Andean life zones, Andean as well as sub-Andean and low tropical zones, which includes the diversity of species registered with, common names, identification, taxonomic classification, distribution and habitat, and poisonings generated by the plants, among others. It also describes the plants in their function and the principles of toxicity, or type, of toxic according to parts of the plant or species. It is important to note that the solo presence of the toxic plant does not lead to poisoning. The conclusion is that toxicological and pathological effects produced by toxic plants in animals generate economic losses for farmers, due to the impact on low production of meat and milk.

Published: September 2024

The use of adequate plant density in combination with the amino acid application can play a decisive role in achieving optimal yields in sesame crops. In order to evaluate the effects of the influence of plant densities and the application of amino acids on the growth and yield of sesame seeds in the rainy season, an experiment was carried out between June and October 2023. Three doses of amino acids (AV) were examined: without VA, 0.25 and 0.50 L ha-1 and two plant densities (25,000 and 29,000 plants/ha), distributed in Split-plots, in a randomized block design with three replications. The results showed that plant densities influence the growth and yield of the sesame crop, the density of 25,000 plants ha-1 influenced the number of plant leaves, leaf area and the AF/NH ratio, while the density of 29,000 plants ha-1 showed greater plant height and yield. Additionally, the dose of 0.25 L ha-1 promoted the growth of sesame plants at the density of 25,000 plants/ha and a higher yield at the density of 29,000 plants/ha, while the dose of 0 .50 L ha-1 of amino acids showed greater productivity at the density of 25,000 plants/ha. The results of this study suggest that the use of high plant densities in combination with the foliar application of amino acids is an viable strategy to increase sesame productivity in the rainy season.
Nutrition for Healing Acute and Chronic Wounds: Current Practice, Recent Research Findings, and Insights for Improving Care
Authors: Arensberg MaryBeth , Phillips Bethan E. , Kerr Kirk W.
Published: September 2024

Wound prevalence is increasing as the global population ages. Older adults are at risk of wounds from falling and from other medical conditions that contribute to wound development and slowed healing (e.g., diabetes, cancer, chronic infections); they often experience health conditions that necessitate surgery and therefore post-surgical healing. Poor nutrition status, which includes deficiencies in macro- and micronutrients, is recognized as a key contributor to impaired wound healing in older adults. As such, the need for nutrition-focused wound care is also increasing. This Perspective review provides a framework for considering the links between nutrition, wounds, and healing. We start with a review of factors related to high incidence and prevalence of wounds in older adults, including inadequate nutrition. Nutrition interventions enhancing wound healing are also described as well as insights into strategies and tools for including nutrition as part of overall quality wound care, particularly for older adults. To meet the growing challenge of wound healing, professionals across care settings need to implement comprehensive and holistic wound-care strategies to benefit patient and healthcare-system outcomes.

UNSTRUCTURED

This study aims to: (1) evaluate the feasibility of collecting smartphone-based Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) data alongside activity and sleep tracking in adolescents with depression; (2) investigate the severity and variability of mood symptoms reported over time; and (3) explore the relationship between mood, activity, and sleep.

Twenty-eight participants (16 with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), 12 unaffected controls) completed twice-daily EMA check-ins over two weeks, complemented by continuous activity and sleep monitoring using FitBit devices. The study examined feasibility, usability of EMA app, symptom severity and variability, and relationships between mood, activity, and sleep.

High compliance rates indicated the feasibility of smartphone-based EMA. MDD participants demonstrated greater symptom severity and variability compared to controls. Additionally, MDD cases exhibited more inconsistent sleep patterns, shorter total sleep times, and a higher frequency of naps. Activity levels, measured by steps per day, did not significantly differ between groups or correlate with mood variability.

This study is one of the first to integrate smartphone-based EMA and wearable activity tracking in adolescents with depression. The findings highlight the potential of these technologies to capture real-time data, providing valuable insights into the dynamic nature of depressive symptoms. Future studies should explore EMA and activity tracking methods in larger, more diverse populations to validate these findings. Clinically, the feasibility of EMA and activity tracking suggests these methods could enhance routine assessments and inform personalized interventions by accounting for individual symptom fluctuations and external factors such as environmental stressors and social interactions

BACKGROUND

Emergency department (ED) routine data represent a unique opportunity for syndromic surveillance for both communicable and non-communicable diseases. In 2020 the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) established a syndromic surveillance system, using ED data from the AKTIN registry.

OBJECTIVE

In this context, this study aims to develop and validate syndrome definitions for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke (STR).

METHODS

First, syndrome definitions including ED diagnosis, chief complaints, diagnostic certainty and disposition were developed with clinical experts. Then, using the retrospective routine ED data provided by the AKTIN registry, we conducted internal validation by linking ED cases fulfilling the syndrome definition criteria with hospital discharge diagnoses and calculating sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Lastly, external validation comprised the comparison of the ED cases fulfilling the syndrome definition criteria with the German hospital diagnosis statistic.

RESULTS

We analyzed data from nine EDs, totaling 704,797 attendances from January 1, 2019, to March 5, 2021. Syndrome definitions were based on ICD-10 diagnoses, chief complaints, and disposition information. The internal validation showed high levels of accuracy for the syndrome definitions. For ACS, the sensitivity was 85.3%, specificity 96.3 %, and accuracy 95.9 %. For MI, sensitivity was 56.6 %, specificity 99.6 %, and accuracy 99.0 %. Sensitivity for STR was 80.5 %, specificity 97.5 %, and accuracy 96.7 %. The external validation showed high levels of correspondence between the ED data and the German hospital statistics, particularly in older age groups. Differences in younger age groups, especially in the detection of MI in younger women were noted.

CONCLUSIONS

Our syndrome definitions showed high levels of internal and external validity. The integration of these indicators into the ED syndromic surveillance system could enhance timely public health surveillance in Germany.
HIV RISK BEHAVIOURS AND THEIR COVARIATES: SURVEY FINDINGS FROM ADOLESCENTS ENROLLED IN ORPHANS AND VULNERABLE CHILDREN PROGRAM IN NIMULE PERI-URBAN TOWN, SOUTH SUDAN (Preprint)
Authors: Bojo Samuel
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

While a greater focus has been put on risk communication by providing accurate information on HIV prevention, adolescents continue to remain at a disproportionally high risk of HIV infection. If unabated, this will slow down progress towards ending HIV and AIDS by 2030. This study aimed to assess self-reported HIV risk behaviours and their associated socio-demographic factors among adolescents in Nimule peri-urban town in South Sudan.

OBJECTIVE

To assess the associations between self-reported behavioural risks and associated sociodemographic factors

METHODS

We designed and undertook a before and after survey for adolescents aged 10-17 years enrolled on the Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) program in Nimule town where they received peer-led HIV risk education delivered in Health clubs. Using a standardized survey questionnaire, we collected data between December 2020 and December 2022 on socio-demographics and self-reported HIV risk behaviours. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed using STATA version 16 to assess the associations between self-reported behavioural risks and associated sociodemographic factors. Consent to minors ( 10-14) and (15-17) was granted by their caregivers and MoH

RESULTS

Of the 577 adolescents enrolled, 301 (54.0%) were female and 256 (46.0%) were males. The median age was 14 (IQR: 11-16) years at baseline and 15(IQR: 12-17) years at end-line. A slight decrease from 89 (16.0%) to 88 (15.8%) was observed between baseline and end-line in the proportion of adolescents who self-reported that they have never had sex in their lifetime with a corresponding increase from 58 (64.4%) at baseline to 70 (78.6%) at the end line in the proportion of adolescents self-reporting having used condoms in their last sex. At the end-line survey, the odds of self-reported HIV risks were 23% lower (aOR 0.77, 95% CI:0.73-0.80, p<0.001). Equally, higher odds of self-reported risks were observed among male adolescents (aOR 1.11, 95% CI:1.06-1.15, p<0.001), those aged 15-17 (aOR 1.27, 95% CI:1.21-1.34, p<0.001), unemployed (aOR 1.2, 95% CI: 1.21-1.34, p<0.001) and those cared for by non-parents (aOR 1.29, 95% CI:1.21-1.36, p<0.001)

CONCLUSIONS

The reduction in the self-reported HIV risk behaviours observed in this study suggests the potential of the OVC program in advancing HIV prevention by empowering adolescents with the knowledge to recognise and mitigate their risk of HIV infections. We therefore recommend the integration and sustaining OVC program as a platform for delivering HIV information to adolescents

BACKGROUND

Accurately measure the healthcare needs of patients with different diseases remains a challenge for global healthcare management. The need for new methods to be able to assess the healthcare resources required by patients with different diseases is crucial in order to avoid wasting healthcare resources.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to assessing dissatisfaction from the perspective of patients with different diseases that can help to optimize the allocation of healthcare resources and better achieve several of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 3 (good health and well-being) and SDG 10 (reduced inequality).

METHODS

We used ChatGPT to perform sentiment analysis of patient reviews based on the Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) prompts in the following three aspects: patient experience, physician skills and efficiency, infrastructure and administration. Additionally, we used the International Classification of Diseases-11th revision (ICD-11) API to classify the sentiment analysis results into different disease categories.

RESULTS

The results show that our method has a weighted total precision, F1 score, and recall of 0.907, 0.793, and 0.748. The accuracy of the three sampling methods was 90.1%, 88.5%, and 89.4%. Using our approach, we can identify that the dissatisfaction is highest for sex-related diseases and lowest for circulatory diseases and that the needs for better infrastructure and administration is much higher for blood-related diseases than for other diseases in China.

CONCLUSIONS

The results prove that our method can accomplish this task excellently, while our proposed approach can provide insights on applying latest Large Language Model (LLM) technologies for improving healthcare and demonstrate their potential applications for optimizing resources.
