Fresh food with a long shelf life with little or no preservatives is being a hot issue. In response to the issue, various forms of packaging technology innovation were created, such as smart packaging and active packaging. The packaging innovation in this study was designed to provide quality assurance of packaged food to consumers, especially for Tuna fillets. The purpose of this study was to determine the color change profile of smart indicator labels, to determine the effectiveness of active paper (addition of garlic extract 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) when applied to Tuna fillets stored at room temperature (28 ± 2oC), and to find out the level of correlation between smart indicator labels and active paper against various parameters of Tuna fillet rot test like total volatile base nitrogen (TVBN), total bacteria (TPC), and pH. All these parameters were tested at room temperature every 2 hours until 12 hours with two replications. The results obtained showed that the smart label indicator changed color from dark red to yellow when the fillet was decomposed. Active paper with the addition of garlic extract concentration of 15% had the best effectiveness in minimizing the occurrence of any deterioration in the Tuna fillets during storage, which was then followed by a concentration of 10%, 5%, and 0%. The level of correlation between the value of the smart indicator color analysis and the effectiveness of the active paper on various fish rot test parameters showed a positive correlation which showed the same tendency pattern in the detection rate of the decomposition of Tuna fillet.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
BACKGROUNDIntimate Partner Violence against Women (IPVAW) is a human rights and public health problem worldwide and is associated with negative consequences for the mother, family, and community. The study aims to determine the prevalence and determinants of intimate partner violence among married women in Burundi, to inform strategies and programs to reduce domestic violence.METHODSThis study consists of the secondary analysis of the 2016-17 Burundi Demographic and Health Survey. The study population consisted of 6014 married women, interviewed using the domestic violence questionnaire. The research applied Chi-square tests and binary logistic regression to identify the factors influencing IPVAW in Burundi, at a 95% statistical significance. RESULTSThe study established the overall prevalence of IPVAW at 48.4%, whereas physical violence was 37.0%, sexual violence 24.4% and emotional violence 22.9%. Intimate partner violence varies by background characteristics of the women. The multivariate analysis identified as risk factors to IPVAW the age of the woman, the province of residence, the number of children ever born, the discordance within the couple on the number of children desired, the childhood experience of parental violence, the husband's controlling behaviour, the husband drinking alcohol and husband's age. CONCLUSIONIPVAW is high in Burundi. Social, economic and cultural factors are some of the predictors of the high prevalence. These factors should constitute the basis for designing programmes and policies aimed at reducing IPVAW.

Abstract
Kidney biopsy is performed to assess if an extended criteria graft can be used for transplantation. It may be performed before or after cross-clamping during organ procurement. This study aims to evaluate whether the timing of biopsy may modify cold ischemia times (CIT) and/or graft outcomes. Kidney transplants performed in our centre from January 2007 to December 2017 were analysed. Grafts with pre-implantation kidney biopsy were included. Biopsies were performed during surgical back table (ESKB, ex-situ kidney biopsy) until 2012 and since then, before the aortic cross-clamping (ISKB, in situ kidney biopsy). To overcome biases owing to different distribution, a propensity score model was developed. The study population consists in 322 patients, 115 ESKB and 207 ISKB. Cold ischemia time was significantly lower for ISKB (730 min ISKB vs. 840 min ESKB, p-value = 0.001). In both crude (OR 0.27; 95% Confidence Interval, 95% CI 0.12–0.60; p-value = 0.002) and adjusted analyses (OR 0.37; 95% CI 0.14–0.94; p-value = 0.039), ISKB was associated with a reduced odd of graft loss when compared to ESKB. Performing pre-implantation kidney biopsy during the recovery, prior to the aortic cross-clamping, may be a strategy to reduce cold ischemia time and improve transplant outcomes.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background: In resource-limited settings, where rubella is endemic, it is difficult to determine which sporadic case should be tested for rubella. We investigated the period between the onset of fever, which is a prodromal symptom, and the onset of rash among laboratory-confirmed rubella patients. The study aimed to provide useful evidence to help screen rubella cases for real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) examination for rubella in resource-limited settings.Method: Suspected rubella patients identified by a physician and brought to the notice of the Ryugasaki public health center or the Tsuchiura public health center were enrolled from April 2018 through December 2019. The inclusion criterion was a confirmed rubella diagnosis based on laboratory tests. We studied the distribution of the time from the onset of fever until the onset of rash.Results: The study included 86 cases with simultaneous presentation of fever and rash. Twenty-nine cases had confirmed rubella based on the laboratory diagnosis. Among these, the time from the onset of fever until the onset of rash was limited to -1 day to 2 days. The peak in the number of rubella cases was on the day of rash onset, which was the day following the day of fever onset. Of the 78 cases who underwent the RT-PCR test, 48% tested positive for rubella among those with time from the onset of fever to the onset of rash between -1 day to 2 days (22 out of 46, 95% Confidence interval 34–62%); no positive results (0 out of 30, 95% Confidence interval 14%) were seen in patients with time from fever to rash onset ≥ 3 days. Conclusion: The period from the onset of fever to the onset of rash was limited to -1 day to 2 days among confirmed rubella patients. If the period from onset of fever to the onset of rash was ≥ 3 days for a patient, the likelihood of rubella was low.
Investigation of the Safety Features of Advanced PWR Assembly Using SiC, Zr, FeCrAl and SS-310 As Cladding Materials
Authors: Mustafa Sayed 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
In this work, SiC (Silicon carbide), FeCrAl (ferritic), SS-310 (stainless steel 310) and Zirconium are simulated by MCNPX code as cladding materials in advanced PWR assembly. A number of reactor safety parameters are evaluated for the candidate cladding materials as reactivity, cycle length, radial power distribution of fuel pellet, reactivity coefficients, spectral hardening, peaking factor, thermal neutron fraction and delayed neutron fraction. The neutron economy presented by Zr and SiC models is analyzed through the burnup calculations on the unit cell and assembly levels. The study also provided the geometric conditions of all cladding materials under consideration in terms of the relation between fuel enrichment and cladding thickness from the viewpoint to achieve the same discharge burnup as the Zircaloy cladding. It was found that the SiC model participated in extending the life cycle by 2.23% compared to Zr. The materials other than SiC largely decreased discharge burnup in comparison with Zircaloy. Furthermore, the claddings with lower capture cross-sections (SiC and Zr) exhibit higher relative fission power at the pellet periphery. The simulation also showed that using SiC with a thickness of 571.15 µm and 4.83% U-235 can satisfy the EOL irradiation value as Zr. For reactivity coefficient, the higher absorbing materials (SS-310 and FeCrAl) exhibit more negative FTCs, MTCs and VRCs at the BOL But, at the intermediate stages of burnup Zr and SiC have a strong trend of negative reactivity coefficients. Finally, the delayed neutron fraction of SiC and Zr models is the highest among all the four models.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background: Latest evidence suggests that periodontitis is prevalent among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), while recent studies have also reported a potential benefit of periodontal treatment on several COPD outcomes. This systematic review aims to determine the impact of periodontal treatment on exacerbation rate, lung function and quality of life of COPD patients. Methods: A systematic search of electronic databases of PubMed, Scopus, Virtual Health Library, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, Web of Science, ProQuest Dissertation and Theses Global and Google Scholar was conducted. Search restricted to studies involving human subjects and published from January 2000 to March 2020 in English language. Distiller Systematic Review software was used for data management. Risk of bias was assessed using Risk of Bias 2 (RoB2) and Risk of Bias for non-randomized studies of intervention (ROBINS-I) tools. Overall quality of evidence was judged based on Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) working group methodology.Results: Out of 1442 articles retrieved, 7 full text articles were included in the review. Limited evidence suggests that periodontal treatment in patients with COPD and periodontitis is associated with reduced exacerbation frequency and a slower lung function decline rate, while its effects on quality of life remain unclear. In addition, periodontal treatment in COPD is associated with lower hospitalization rates and reduced all-cause mortality. Overall, the included studies demonstrated high heterogeneity and very low-to-moderate quality of evidence. Conclusions: Although it is reasonable to advise COPD patients not to neglect their dental health, further studies are warranted to determine the role of periodontal therapy on COPD clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Members of the genus Bougainvillea are rich sources of natural dyes, pigments, and traditional medicines. They are also commonly used as ornamentals in roadside landscape construction. However, the horticultural development of Bougainvillea flowers with extended growth periods and coloration is not always feasible. One reason is limited molecular knowledge and no genomic information for Bougainvillea. Here, we compiled an expressed transcript sequence library for Bougainvillea by integrating 20 Illumina-sequencing RNA transcriptomes. The library consisted of 97,623 distinct transcripts. Of these, 47,006 were protein-coding, 31,109 were lncRNA, and 19,508 were unannotated. We also confirmed that the library is an alternative genomic reference for accurate transcriptome assembly and its performance was substantially better than that of the de novo method. We also curated the Integrative Transcript Library database for Bougainvillea known as InTransBo (http://www.bio-add.org/InTransBo/index.jsp). To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first large scale genomic resource for Bougainvillea. Overall, the library helps fill the genomic gap and elucidate the transcriptional nature of Bougainvillea. It may also advance progress in the precise regulation of flowering in horticulture. The same strategy can be readily applied toward the systematic exploration of other plant species lacking complete genomic information.

Abstract
Background: The emergence of a novel plasmid-mediated colistin resistance mechanism, encoded by the mcr-1 gene, represents a major public health concern. The mechanism of resistance to colistin, mediated by plasmids, is a serious problem, both for its ability to be transferred to other species, and for infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative, in which colistin is used as an antimicrobial drug of last line for the treatment of these infections. The present study highlights the first isolation and genetic evaluation of detecting plasmid-mediated resistance to colistin in a multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolated from a clinical sample in the metropolitan city of Naples, Italy. Results: Colistin-resistant E. coli isolate was identified in August 2020 from the blood culture of a male patient with multiple comorbidities. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of colistin was 8 mg/L. In addition to colistin, the isolate was resistant to third-generation cephalosporins (cefotaxime and ceftazidime), penicillin (amoxicillin and piperacillin), aminoglycosides (gentamicin and tobramycin), and fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin). However, it showed susceptibility to carbapenems (ertapenem, imipenem, and meropenem), tetracyclines (tigecycline), and piperacillin-tazobactam. The results of the PCR confirmed the presence of the mcr-1 resistance gene. Conclusion: This study confirms the presence of resistance to colistin mediated by the mcr-1 gene in a clinical isolate of E. coli. Although resistance to colistin caused by the mcr-1 gene is not common in our region, it should not be ignored. Therefore, further surveillance studies are recommended to monitor the spread of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance genes in Gram-negative MDR bacteria.
