Published: July 2020

Aims: A large number of food industries are focusing their interests recently on the commercial production of fish crackers for their nutritional values and health benefits. The goal of this study was to develop a set of formulae for the preparation of nutritious and tasty fish crackers using three low-value carp fish species namely mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio var. specularis), Mrigal (Cirrhinus cirrhosis) and Pangasius (Pangasius hypothalamus).
Methodology: Six different fish crackers were developed and their proximate analysis, linear expansion, oil absorption, texture hardness, color components were analyzed as per standard established methods. Sensory attributes were carried out by 60 naïve panelists to evaluate their consumers’ acceptance. The obtained data were analyzed by SPSS for Windows (Version 25).
Results: The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT) of all parameters showed significant differences (at P< 0.05) among the prepared fish crackers with significantly better results (at P< 0.05) for Sample 3. The moisture, ash, protein, fat and carbohydrate content of the fish crackers ranged from 2.42±0.05–3.18 ± 0.07%, 1.53±0.66–2.87±0.05%, 12.55±0.11–17.82±0.09%, 19.71±0.14–24.26±0.17% and 28.76±0.12–47.56±1.07%, respectively. The linear expansion, oil absorption and texture hardness of the fish crackers varied from 40.86±0.55–60.99±0.65%, 0.98±0.14–7.12±0.21% and 1208.30±109.08–2011.64±98.06 N/cm2, respectively. The range of Hunter lab color components e.g. lightness (L*), redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) of the fish crackers were 41.96±0.68­–69.15±0.08, 0.89±0.11–9.09±0.08 and 7.51±0.03–30.88±0.06, respectively. For all of the above-mentioned parameters, significantly better results (at P< 0.05) were observed in Sample 3 than the other samples. The 9-point Hedonic scale rating of the fish crackers rated by 200 naïve panelists revealed a significant difference (at P< 0.05) for Sample 3 than the others crackers in terms of appearance (8.30±0.79), taste (8.53±0.78), crispiness (7.63±0.85), aroma (7.91±1.09) and overall acceptability (8.64±0.72).
Conclusion: Significantly better results (at P< 0.05) were observed for Sample 3, whereas the results of other samples were also acceptable. Findings of this investigation can also be helpful for the commercial production of value-added, nutritious fish crackers from low-value carp fishes like Cyprinus carpio var. specularis, Cirrhinus cirrhosis and Pangasius hypothalamus.

Published: July 2020

Aims: The aim of this paper was to investigate whether community forest association (CFA) get benefits as they conserve dryland forest that is also fully leased.
Study Design: The paper adapted descriptive survey design. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted between the year 2018 December and 2020 January in Kibwezi forest.
Methodology: This study included 139 individuals who were issued with questionnaires (household survey) and 5 officials from forest department who were interviewed.
Results: The questionnaires response rate was 96% since 134 questionnaires out 139 were returned. The introduction of leasehold significantly reduced benefits community forest association used to get. There is no significant association between being a member of Community Forest Association and getting employment in dryland forest conservation sinceChi square results were; ?2 =3.953, df=3, P=.267.
Conclusion: There is no special benefit the Community Forest Association gets from conservation of Kibwezi forest. For community to participate in forest management that have been leased there should be incentives. In fully leased forest, community forest members should jointly work with Kenya Forest Service as per the Participatory Forest Management. To get desired results of community forest participation in dryland, different actors should come up with innovative ways of conferring benefits to the Community Forest Association and compel the lessee to adhere to the legal requirement of continued access of benefits to the communities as it was before the lease.

Background: Anoectochilus orchids have been widely used as medicine. However, it has been overharvested in nature because of high commercial values. This study aims at identifying distribution ranges and ecological characteristics of Anoectochilus orchids serving for sustainable development and describing traditional uses by ethnic people in Lai Chau Province, North Vietnam.
Methods: Twenty-one plots of 100 m2 each (10 m × 10 m) were established for ecological survey and stand structures were analyzed for vegetation characteristics. While interviewing was applied to gather information on harvesting method, marketing, and medicinal uses.
Results: Three Anoectochilus orchids (A. lanceolatus, A. calcareus, and A. setaceus) were found in Lai Chau Province, North Vietnam. These species distribute in both evergreen old-growth and secondary broadleaved forests, and mixed broadleaf-bamboo forest on the elevations of 996–2,134 m. They grow in forests with a high canopy cover of 67 m2 canopy area/ 100 m2 land and high cover (> 90% land) of low vegetation (< 2 m tall). It is believed that using the whole plant of Anoectochilus can treat hypertension and diabetes mellitus and improve the development of underdeveloped children. The folk uses include soaking in alcohol and boiled water for daily drinks like green tea, and consuming as a vegetable. The best harvesting season is during Autumn–Winter and fresh product is mainly marketed with the price of up to 100 U$D/1 kg fresh mass.
Conclusion: A. lanceolatus, A. calcareus and A. setaceus are potential forest herbs for poverty reduction to ethnic communities in North Vietnam. The natural populations have been reduced remarkably because of overharvesting. Growing techniques are an urgent need for the conservation and sustainable development of such valuable orchids.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are preleukemic disorders characterized by clonal growth of mutant hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. MDS are associated with proinflammatory signaling, dysregulated immune response, and cell death in the bone marrow (BM). Aging, autoinflammation and autoimmunity are crucial features of disease progression, concordant with promoting growth of malignant clones and accumulation of mutations. Suprabasin (SBSN), a recently proposed proto‐oncogene of unknown function, physiologically expressed in stratified epithelia, is associated with poor prognosis of several human malignancies. Here, we showed that SBSN is expressed in the BM by myeloid cell subpopulations, including myeloid‐derived suppressor cells, and is secreted into BM plasma and peripheral blood of MDS patients. The highest expression of SBSN was present in a patient group with poor prognosis. SBSN levels in the BM correlated positively with blast percentage and negatively with CCL2 chemokine levels and lymphocyte count. In vitro treatment of leukemic cells with interferon‐gamma and demethylating agent 5‐azacytidine (5‐AC) induced SBSN expression. This indicated that aberrant cytokine levels in the BM and epigenetic landscape modifications in MDS patients may underlie ectopic expression of SBSN. Our findings suggest SBSN as a candidate biomarker of high‐risk MDS with a possible role in disease progression and therapy resistance.

AbstractEffective nonmagnetic control of the spin structure is at the forefront of the study for functional quantum materials. This study demonstrates that, by applying an anisotropic strain up to only 0.05%, the metamagnetic transition field of spin–orbit‐coupled Mott insulator Sr2IrO4 can be in situ modulated by almost 300%. Simultaneous measurements of resonant X‐ray scattering and transport reveal that this drastic response originates from the complete strain‐tuning of the transition between the spin‐flop and spin‐flip limits, and is always accompanied by large elastoconductance and magnetoconductance. This enables electrically controllable and electronically detectable metamagnetic switching, despite the antiferromagnetic insulating state. The obtained strain‐magnetic field phase diagram reveals that C4‐symmetry‐breaking anisotropy is introduced by strain via pseudospin‐lattice coupling, directly demonstrating the pseudo‐Jahn–Teller effect of spin–orbit‐coupled complex oxides. The extracted coupling strength is much weaker than the superexchange interactions, yet crucial for the spontaneous symmetry‐breaking, affording the remarkably efficient strain‐control.

Published: July 2020

AbstractA high transition temperature (Tc) is essential for the practical application of ferroelectrics as electronic devices under extreme thermal conditions in the aerospace, automotive, and energy industries. In recent decades, the isotope effect and strain engineering are found to effectively modulate Tc; however, these strategies are limited to certain systems. Developing simple, universal, and practical methods to improve Tc has become an imminent challenge for expanding the applications of ferroelectrics. Here, by adopting a molecular design strategy involving H/F substitution on an organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite (1‐azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane)CdCl3 at a Tc of 190 K, the successful synthesis of a multiaxial, ferroelectric hybrid perovskite (4‐fluoro‐1‐azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane)CdCl3 is reported, which demonstrates a large spontaneous polarization of 11.2 µC cm−2 (greater than that of polyvinylidene difluoride) and a Tc of 419 K (greater than that of BaTiO3). This temperature enhancement (229 K) is the largest reported for molecular ferroelectrics, far exceeding the reported enhancements induced by the isotope effect and other techniques. This pioneering technique provides an effective and universal method for improving Tc in ferroelectrics and represents an important step toward the development of high‐performance ferroelectric technology.
Building Meaningful Community Advocacy for Ethnic‐based Health Equity: The RoAd4Health Experience
Authors: Miranda Daniela E. , García‐Ramírez Manuel , Albar‐Marín María J. 
Published: July 2020

AbstractThe pervasive failure of policies aimed at overcoming health inequities suffered by European Roma reflects the oppressive and impoverished living conditions of many ethnic minorities in the Western world. The multiple social inequities that Roma experience and the cumulative effect on their health prove that the failure of health policies that impact Roma must be attributed to their ameliorative nature. These policies legitimize the mechanisms of oppression that sustain inequities, fueling fatalistic attitudes toward minorities, while these minorities internalize the stigma and attempt to survive on the margins of society. This paper presents the RoAd4Health project, a community initiative in which academic researchers partnered with Roma communities to overcome health inequities. We present the multiple methods utilized for building meaningful advocacy, such as photovoice and asset mapping led by Roma agents of change. These methods provided the capacity to develop a local narrative of disparities, build alliances to gain capacity to respond to injustices, and take actions to promote social change. The results of effectively involving all significant stakeholders (i.e., community agents of change, residents, health and social care providers, Roma community grassroots organizations, and institutional actors) are discussed along with lessons learned.

AbstractBackgroundAdequate cytology is limited by insufficient cytologists in a large‐scale cervical cancer screening. We aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)‐assisted cytology system in cervical cancer screening program.MethodsWe conducted a perspective cohort study within a population‐based cervical cancer screening program for 0.7 million women, using a validated AI‐assisted cytology system. For comparison, cytologists examined all slides classified by AI as abnormal and a randomly selected 10% of normal slides. Each woman with slides classified as abnormal by either AI‐assisted or manual reading was diagnosed by colposcopy and biopsy. The outcomes were histologically confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+).ResultsFinally, we recruited 703 103 women, of whom 98 549 were independently screened by AI and manual reading. The overall agreement rate between AI and manual reading was 94.7% (95% confidential interval [CI], 94.5%‐94.8%), and kappa was 0.92 (0.91‐0.92). The detection rates of CIN2+ increased with the severity of cytology abnormality performed by both AI and manual reading (Ptrend < 0.001). General estimated equations showed that detection of CIN2+ among women with ASC‐H or HSIL by AI were significantly higher than corresponding groups classified by cytologists (for ASC‐H: odds ratio [OR] = 1.22, 95%CI 1.11‐1.34, P < .001; for HSIL: OR = 1.41, 1.28‐1.55, P < .001). AI‐assisted cytology was 5.8% (3.0%‐8.6%) more sensitive for detection of CIN2+ than manual reading with a slight reduction in specificity.ConclusionsAI‐assisted cytology system could exclude most of normal cytology, and improve sensitivity with clinically equivalent specificity for detection of CIN2+ compared with manual cytology reading. Overall, the results support AI‐based cytology system for the primary cervical cancer screening in large‐scale population.

Published: July 2020

AbstractThe interaction of the antibacterial drug, vancomycin with microcavity suspended lipid bilayers (MSLB) was investigated using non‐Faradaic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Five MSLB compositions were prepared with increasing complexity at gold substrates: DOPC, DOPC:Chol, DOPC:SM:Chol, mammalian plasma membrane mimetic (MPM), and E. coli polar lipid extract. The latter two, are intended to mimic eukaryotic and bacterial inner membrane compositions respectively. The extent of vancomycin association and the impact drug association has on the electrochemical properties of the membrane depended on biomembrane composition. Trends were similar across all membranes but the E. coli membrane composition. Vancomycin increased membrane resistance and decreased capacitance in a saturable, concentration dependent manner, but for E. coli membrane resistance change was negligible and capacitance increased. Membrane resistance data was fit to the Langmuir‐Freundlich model to give quantitative insight into the relative extent of association of drug with membrane as a function of membrane composition. Overall, electrochemical data indicates that vancomycin associates at the interface of lipid membranes rather than penetrates the layer and this is promoted by the presence of anionic phospholipid. Interestingly, co‐incubation of the E. coli extract bilayer with both rifampicin and vancomycin, known to act synergistically, significantly promotes vancomycin association to E. coli membrane.

AbstractOxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts are critical components for the development of high‐efficiency fuel cells and metal‐air batteries. Supported PtCo alloy nanoparticles (NPs) with modified surface properties and reactivity through ligand, strain and/or ensemble effects are regarded as promising inexpensive low‐Pt candidates. Herein, we report an annealing‐free assembly of PtCo nanoparticles anchored on nitrogen‐doped mesoporous carbon (PtCo@NMC) for advanced ORR electrocatalysis in both alkaline and acidic electrolytes. Compared with the commercial Pt/C catalyst, the half‐wave potential (E1/2) values of PtCo@NMC increase to 0.93–0.94 V (Vs. RHE) and positively shift by approximately 45 mV. Moreover, the annealing‐induced degradation stems from agglomeration and growth of alloy NPs. Considering the excellent long‐term durability according to both chronoamperometry (CA) and accelerated durability tests (ADTs), we demonstrate practical application with enhanced performance in electrochemical energy devices, such as a primary Zn–air battery assembled with PtCo@NMC cathode.
