Abstract
Energy system modelling can be used to assess the implications of different scenarios and support improved policymaking. However, access to data is often a barrier to starting energy system modelling in developing countries, thereby causing delays. Therefore, this article provides data that can be used to create a simple zero order energy system model for Benin, which can act as a starting point for further model development and scenario analysis. The data are collected entirely from publicly available and accessible sources, including the websites and databases of international organizations, journal articles, and existing modelling studies. This means that the dataset can be easily updated based on the latest available information or more detailed and accurate local data. These data were also used to calibrate a simple energy system model using the Open Source Energy Modelling System (OSeMOSYS) and two stylized scenarios (Fossil Future and Least Cost) for 2020–2050. The assumptions used and results of these scenarios are presented in the appendix as an illustrative example of what can be done with these data. This simple model can be adapted and further developed by in-country analysts and academics, providing a platform for future work.

Abstract
Wood-derived carbon has a 3D porous framework composed of through channels along the growth direction, which is a suitable matrix for preparing electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials with low-cost, light-weight, environmentally friendly and excellent MA performance. Herein, the carbonized wood decorated by short cone-like NiCo2O4 (CW@NiCo2O4) with highly ordered straightway channels architecture were successfully manufactured through a facile calcination procedure. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation is carried out to detect the interaction between the prepared material and EMW when the ordered channels are arranged in different directions. Simultaneously, the microwave absorption properties of all samples are investigated in terms of complex permittivity and permeability. The horizontal arrangement of the through channels of CW@NiCo2O4 (H-CW@NiCo2O4) exhibits a strong reflection loss value of -64.0 dB at 10.72 GHz with a thickness of 3.62 mm and a low filling ratio of 26wt% (with the density of 0.98g·cm− 3), and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) is 8.08 GHz (9.92-18.0 GHz) at the thickness of 3.2 mm. The extremely advantageous structure of H-CW@NiCo2O4 is the key to achieving excellent MA property, which enables multiple EMW loss mechanisms to be effectively realized. What’s more, the introduction of NiCo2O4 increases the values of \({\epsilon }^{\text{'}}\) and \({\epsilon }^{\text{'}\text{'}}\), resulting in enhanced dielectric loss. This research provides a low-cost, sustainable and environmentally friendly strategy for using carbonized wood to fabricate microwave absorbers with strong attenuation capabilities and lightweight.

Abstract
Background: Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a proinflammatory cytokine that is secreted by cells infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and it is widely recognized as a negative prognostic factor. The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlations between the olfactory scores determined by psychophysical tests and the serum levels of IL-6 in patients affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)Methods: Patients underwent psychophysical olfactory assessment with Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center test and IL-6 plasma level determination within 10 days of the clinical onset of COVID-19. Results: Seventy-four COVID-19 patients were included in this study. COVID-19 staged as mild in 34 patients, moderate in 26 and severe in 14 cases. There were no significant differences in olfactory scores across the different COVID-19 severity groups In the patient series, the median plasma level of IL-6 was 7.7 pg/mL (IQR 3.7 – 18.8). The concentration of IL-6 was found to be significantly correlated with the severity of COVID-19 with a directly proportional relationship. The correlation between IL-6 plasma concentrations and olfactory scores was weak (rs=0.182) and not significant (p=0.12).Conclusions: In COVID-19 patients, psychophysical olfactory scores did not show significant correlations with the plasma levels of a well-recognized negative prognostic factor such as IL-6. This observation casts some shadows on the positive prognostic value of olfactory dysfunctions
Operative Management of Fragility Fractures of the Pelvis – A Systematic Review
Authors: Wilson Daniel , Kelly Joshua , Rickman Mark 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
BackgroundThe incidence of osteoporotic pelvic fractures in elderly patient is rising. This brings an increasing burden on health and social care systems as these injuries often lead to prolonged hospital admissions, loss of independence, morbidity and mortality. Some centres now advocate stabilisation of these injuries to reduce pain, facilitate early mobilisation, decrease hospital stay and restore independence. A systematic review of the literature was planned to establish the evidence for this intervention.MethodsA systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. A clinical librarian performed a search of the following databases: NHS Evidence, TRIP, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, MEDLINE and EMBASE. 17 eligible studies were identified with 766 patients. ResultsThe quality of evidence was poor with no good quality randomised trials. The majority of injuries were minimally displaced. Posterior ring injuries were most often stabilised with percutaneous screws which were sometimes augmented with void filler. A variety of techniques were described for stabilisation of the anterior ring although fixation of the anterior ring was frequently not performed.There was consistent evidence from the included studies that operative intervention significantly improved pain. Complications were minimal but there were increased failure rates when a single unaugmented sacroiliac joint screw was used. The limited availability of non-operative comparators made it difficult to draw firm conclusions about the efficacy of surgical over non-surgical management in these patients. ConclusionsOperative management of fragility fractures of the pelvis should be considered for patients failing a brief period of non-operative management, however prospective randomised trials need to be performed to provide improved evidence for this intervention. Surgeons should consider which fixation techniques for fragility fractures of the pelvis are robust enough to allow immediate weightbearing, whilst minimising operative morbidity and post-operative complications.PROSPERO Systematic Review ID: CRD42020171237
The Relationship Between Readiness to Change Pain-Related Exercise Participation and Perceived Work Function: A Cross-Sectional Study of Factory Workers
Authors: Shawcross Paul , Lyons Melinda , Filingeri Victoria 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Background: Healthy lifestyle behaviours are associated with protection against health disorders and pain. Exercise participation is one such behaviour, associated with improved outcomes in those experiencing pain. Musculoskeletal pain is highly prevalent in the workplace, particularly in factory workers and associated loss of work function is recognised as having a great impact on individuals, society and the economy. A worker’s ‘readiness to change pain behaviour’ is an important factor to consider in achieving a healthy lifestyle behaviour and potentially improved function. This study aimed to examine the relationship between a cohort of factory workers ‘readiness to change pain behaviour’ such as exercise and their ‘perceived work function’.Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to establish the relationship between ‘readiness to change pain behaviours’ and ‘perceived work function’. The Multidimensional Pain Related Change Questionnaire 2 (MPRCQ2) was used to measure readiness to change various pain behaviours including exercise. The Work Ability Index (WAI) was used to assess ‘perceived work function’. 75 participants were recruited using convenience sampling. Correlation and multiple regression were used for statistical analysis.Results: Mean WAI, MPRCQ2 and MPRCQ2 exercise component were 41.89 (SD 5.28), 4.26 (SD 1.01) and 4.40 (SD 1.69). MPRCQ2 and MPRCQ2 exercise component were not significant predictors of WAI in factory workers (F (2, 72) = 2.17, p > 0.001). There was no significant relationship between MPRCQ2 and WAI (rs = .09, p > .05). However, there was a significant positive relationship between MPRCQ2 exercise component and WAI (rs = .23, p < .05). Conclusions: This study suggests that readiness to change pain-related exercise participation has a positive association with ‘perceived work function’. Further research should explore the causal relationship and consider strength training as a specific type of exercise.

Abstract
The main purpose of this research is to design and test an open innovation model in science and technology parks through a mixed exploratory approach. The data collection tool in the qualitative section is a semi-structured interview with 15 experts in the field of science and technology parks. Purposive sampling was used until theoretical saturation is achieved. The grounded theory was used to coding the interviews. As a result of open, axial, and selective coding in MAXQDA, 1551 free codes, 202 concepts, 73 sub-codes, and 21 main codes extracted. These codes categorized in six themes of casual conditions, central factors, strategies, contextual conditions, confounding, and outcomes. Initial questionnaire was administrated among 516 experts and managers of science and technology parks in Tehran province and affiliated companies. Confirmatory factor analyses showed high model fit with CFI equal to 0.93 and high internal consistency for the total score equal to 0.98. The results of this study showed that the proposed model of open innovation in science and technology parks in Iran has a good fit.

Abstract
Objective: Overweight and obesity have become a serious public health problem in both developed and developing countries particularly in urban areas. However, there are limited studies conducted to identify the risk factors of overweight and obesity in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess individual and community level determinants of overweight and obesity among urban men in Ethiopia. Methods: This study used the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data (EDHS). A total of 2259 weighted sample of urban men age 15-59 years were included in this analysis. A multilevel logistic regression model was conducted to assess the determinants of overweight and obesity among the study participants. Results: Men aged 30-44 years old (AOR=3.1, 95% CI: 2.3-4.11) , 45-59 years old (AOR=4.8, 95% CI: 3.4-6.9), married (AOR=1.7, 95% CI: 1.3-2.2), secondary education (AOR=2.7, 95% CI: 1.6-4.7), higher education (AOR= 3.6, 95% CI: 2.1-6.2) and watching television at least once a week (AOR= 1.7, 95% CI: 1.1-2.7), men from high rich communities (AOR= 2.4, 95% CI: 1.5-3.7) and residents of the three metropolises (Addis Ababa, Harari, Diredawa) were more likely to be overweight or obese (AOR=1.8, 95% CI: 1.1-2.9). However, currently unemployed men were less likely to be overweight or obese (AOR=0.5, 95% CI: 0.3-0.7). Conclusion: Being older age, married, unemployed, higher educational status, higher frequency of watching television, being residents the three metropolises (Addis Ababa, Harari, and Diredawa) and being from high rich communities were found to be predictors of overweight and obesity. Therefore, it is essential to design strategies and programs to reduce or prevent overweight and obesity with special focus on the identified risk factors.

Abstract
Objectives: The study estimates the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes among older adults and bring forth the urban-rural differentials in the said morbidities. The treatment-seeking approach of older adults is also looked at with regard to hypertension and diabetes.Methods: The data for this study come from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) conducted in 2017-18. Bivariate analyses were used to understand the rural-urban gap in hypertension and diabetes with socioeconomic and demographic parameters. Further, logistic regression was used to check the likelihood of hypertension and diabetes with socioeconomic and demographic variables. Finally, a non-linear decomposition technique, Fairlie’s decomposition technique was applied to check the difference in the probability of hypertension and diabetes between rural and urban by estimating contributions of a group (rural-urban) differences.Results: Study noted a higher prevalence of hypertension and diabetes among elderly residing in urban areas than their counterparts. Prevalence of hypertension and diabetes was higher among those aged 70+, elderly females, less educated, and non-poor. Education status alone accounts for more than four-fifths (88.62%) and more than half (52.02%) of the inequality in the prevalence of urban-rural hypertension and diabetes, respectively. Elderly with higher education were 2.88 times (OR=2.88; C.I.= 1.40-5.90) more likely to sought treatment for hypertension than uneducated older people in urban areasConclusion: Since treatment-seeking is relatively low among elderly in poor households, practices must be identified for a poverty-stricken elderly population to overcome the financial barriers that may prevent the elderly from seeking and complying with treatment.

Abstract
Purpose: To investigate if molecular subtype is associated with outcome in stage 1 breast cancer (BC).Method: Tissue samples from 445 women with node-negative BC £15 mm, treated in 1986-2004, were classified into surrogate molecular subtypes (Luminal A-like, Luminal B-like, Her2-positive, and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC)). Information on treatment, recurrences and survival were gathered from medical records. Results: Tumour subtype was not associated with overall survival (OS). Luminal B-like and TNBC were associated with higher incidence of distant metastasis at 20 years. Luminal B-like and TNBC patients also had worse breast cancer specific survival (BCSS), although not statistically significant. Her2-positive BC was not associated with poor outcome despite no patient receiving Her2-targeted therapy.Conclusions: Stage 1 TNBC or Luminal B-like tumours behave more aggressively. Women with Her2+/ER+ tumours do not have an increased risk of distant metastasis or death, absent targeted treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
An efficient and facile route for the synthesis of substituted imidazoles (10a-10g) has been developed by reacting substituted aldehydes (1–7), benzil (8) and ammonium acetate (9) in presence of solid supported acid catalyst viz. Rice Husk Ash.SO3H (RHA.SO3H) at room temperature. The purity of compounds was confirmed by melting point and thin layer chromatography. After the completion of reaction the crude product was recrystallized with ethylacetate to give pure samples (10a-10g) in good yield. All synthesized compounds (10a-10g) were characterized by 1HNMR and FTIR spectral techniques. The solid acid catalyst has been characterized by SEM, TEM and X-ray diffraction method. All synthesized compounds were tested in vitro herbicidal activity against Raphanus sativus L. seeds. The compounds (10a-10g) were also screened for their antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani and Aspergillus niger by poisoned food technique method. From bio evaluation data, it was found that compounds 10c and 10a were most active against Raphanus sativus L. seeds. Compound 4-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenol (10g) was found most active against R. solani fungus at highest concentration. Compound 2-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenol (10f) has shown maximum percentage inhibition i.e. 71.89 against A. niger at 200 µg/mL concentration.

Abstract
The zoonotic nematode Onchocerca lupi is reported in two dogs in the UK, re-homed from Europe. One dog developed an ocular nodule seven years after arrival from Spain, whereas the other dog, originally from Romania, developed recurring nodular lesions in both eyes. In this dog, parasitism was particularly invasive and resulted in unilateral enucleation. Increasingly, former stray dogs of unknown infection status are entering the UK, raising veterinary and medical concerns.

Abstract
Colon cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the digestive system. Although oxaliplatin, a chemotherapy drug, has been clinically used to treat colon cancer, its therapeutic effect is unsatisfactory. It has been proved that indoleamine dioxygenase 2,3 (IDO), an immune checkpoint, is a result of tolerance to chemotherapy. Herein, an IDO inhibitor, D-MT, was combined with oxaliplatin to treat colon cancer in mice. T cell infiltration in tumor tissues, the ratios of immune cells in the spleens, and the tumor growth and survival of the mice were detected and recorded. The results showed that the combination of oxaliplatin and D-MT significantly inhibited tumor growth and prolonged the survival of tumor-bearing mice. More importantly, the combination treatment increased the ratios of CD4+ T, CD8+ T and NK cells from the spleen in tumor-bearing mice, and prompted T cell infiltration in tumor tissues. This study provided a new therapeutic strategy for colon cancer treatment in the clinic, especially for patients with oxaliplatin resistance.
