This study aimed to evaluate the durability of the photocatalytic and antimicrobial activities of ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs)-modified 100% cotton terry textiles. SEM-EDX confirmed the long-lasting durability of the washing materials, and TGA analysis revealed that ZnO and TiO2 NPs can be found on the terry fabric surface; however, the amount of NPs decreased 10 times after 15 washes and 1.6 times after the subsequent 15 washes. The efficiency of self-cleaning properties and antimicrobial activity against five microorganisms (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Escherichia coli ATCC 10536, Candida albicans ATCC 10231, Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404, and Bacillus subtilis NCAIM 01644) depended on UVA/B radiation intensity. The increase in UVA/B radiation intensity from 400 to 1400 µW/cm2 significantly increases the effectiveness of photocatalysis. Long-lasting self-cleaning properties characterised the tested fabric; however, stronger photocatalytic efficiency was observed in light with a greater intensity of UVA/B radiation. At the UVA/B radiation intensity of 1400 µW/cm2, a biocidal effect (R = 100%) against all tested microorganisms (E. coli, S. aureus. B. subtilis, C. albicans, and A. niger) was observed on the surface of materials. The lower UVA/B radiation intensity (400 µW/cm2) and 30 wash cycles reduce the antimicrobial activity of the material (R = 65.4–99.4%) for B. subtilis, C. albicans, and A. niger. The antimicrobial activity of washed materials modified with TiO2/ZnO nanoparticles can be increased by irradiation with a light bulb (1400 µW/cm2).

The application of genetically encoded biosensors enables the detection of small molecules in living cells and has facilitated the characterization of enzymes, their directed evolution and the engineering of (natural) metabolic pathways. In this work, the LuxAB biosensor system from Photorhabdus luminescens was implemented in Escherichia coli to monitor the enzymatic production of aldehydes from primary alcohols and carboxylic acid substrates. A simple high-throughput assay utilized the bacterial luciferase—previously reported to only accept aliphatic long-chain aldehydes—to detect structurally diverse aldehydes, including aromatic and monoterpene aldehydes. LuxAB was used to screen the substrate scopes of three prokaryotic oxidoreductases: an alcohol dehydrogenase (Pseudomonas putida), a choline oxidase variant (Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus) and a carboxylic acid reductase (Mycobacterium marinum). Consequently, high-value aldehydes such as cinnamaldehyde, citral and citronellal could be produced in vivo in up to 80% yield. Furthermore, the dual role of LuxAB as sensor and monooxygenase, emitting bioluminescence through the oxidation of aldehydes to the corresponding carboxylates, promises implementation in artificial enzyme cascades for the synthesis of carboxylic acids. These findings advance the bio-based detection, preparation and transformation of industrially important aldehydes in living cells.

The purpose of research is to examine integrated Christian religious education among the disabled. The disability is for everyone who has a long period of intellectual, and mental disability. Limitations that have been imposed have a bearing on the difficulty of effectively interacting with those around them. Therefore, what happens in the lives of those who have disability is feeling neglected. As though no room in living life is what everyone is entitled to. This is what has become a problem until now. The onset of the problem requires Christianity education is not only present in the form of a formal educations but also in non-formal education. The non-formal education referred to is the family, and community ward Church. Hence the research method to be used is, a descriptive qualitative study method. Descriptive qualitative research is understood to describe a condition of its nature without manipulating the variables. This type of research is exploited with qualitative data and then descriptive. Like analyzing phenomena of phenomena and social circumstances. So based on that the findings that are available in the research are: the integration of Christian religious education is where all parties in either formal education are the family, and community churches capable of building the character and mentality of those with disabilities.

O câncer de ovário é a segunda neoplasia ginecológica mais comum atrás apenas do câncer do colo do útero, no entanto, devido ao diagnóstico tardio, apresenta maiores índices de mortalidade. Os tumores neuroendócrinos (NETs) são neoplasias cujas células liberam substâncias similares aos hormônios na corrente sanguínea, sendo responsáveis pela maioria dos tumores de apêndice cecal. Além disso, frequentemente são diagnosticados em fases tardias da doença. O presente artigo teve por objetivo relatar ocorrência de duas neoplasias de baixa incidência, em paciente feminina de 16 anos encaminhada ao Centro Especializado em Oncologia para investigação de massa abdominal. Apesar de ambos os tumores abordados estarem associados a um curso indolente, carência de achados clínicos e ao diagnóstico tardio, cursando com redução da taxa de sobrevida e pior prognóstico, são neoplasias de origem histológica distinta, não apresentando correlação presumível de ocorrência.

Considerando que a relação ensino-serviço se expressa na articulação entre academia e serviço de saúde, a Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde da Família é uma modalidade de ensino de pós-graduação lato sensu que visa a qualificação dos profissionais. Esse processo é guiado por estratégias pedagógicas viáveis para utilizar e fomentar cenários de aprendizagem, configurados nas Redes de Atenção à Saúde. Sendo assim, o objetivo é relatar a percepção do ser enfermeiro e preceptor de enfermagem da Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde da Família em um serviço especializado, no município de Cascavel/PR. Para isso, o relato foi direcionado por meio de estudo descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa do tipo relato de experiência. Durante o período em que o residente permanece no serviço, concomitante às atividades técnicas, ele é instigado a empoderar-se do conhecimento científico, a realizar pesquisas e publicação de trabalhos para colaborar com a sociedade e com o Sistema Único de Saúde. Nesta perspectiva, infere-se que, essa modalidade de qualificação profissional permite ao residente relacionar teoria à pratica e transcender a segmentação do conhecimento e do cuidado na atenção em saúde, além de contribuir para o sobrepujamento da fragmentação do cuidado e da didática tradicional do ensino superior.

Published: August 2021

The effect of temperature on the gap observed betweenÃ‚Â Fusarium oxysporum and Geotrichum candidum was investigated when the organisms were grown on media based on some domestic food wastes. The organisms were isolated from soil. The wastes were chipped, dried in the sun and in the oven (at 110oC) and comminuted to powder form. The powder in each case was included in the medium at the rate of 20%. The organisms were plated diametrically in 9cm Petri dishes and incubated at 15Ã‚Â°, 20Ã‚Â°, 25Ã‚Â°, 30Ã‚Â° and 40Ã‚Â°C for 15 days. Growth towards the centre was measured. On the 15th day the gap between the organisms was measured. G. candidum grew better on all the media, except on cassava peel, where F. oxysporum grew better than G. candidum at all temperatures; the gap was widest on cocoyam peel and was smallest on cassava peel. The gap was affected by temperature and medium.

Tor putitora (mean wt., 86.69±1.26 g, mean total length, 19.73±0.40 cm) were exposed for 30 days to varying concentrations (3, 6, 12, and 24 ml/L) of paper mill effluent with a view to check the haematological changes. Red blood cell count (RBCC), haemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin content (MCHC), white blood cell count (WBCC), neutrophils, monocytes and small lymphocytes were 2.17±0.01Ã¢â‚¬Â 1.90±0.01×106/mm3, 8.8±0.02Ã¢â‚¬Â6.5±0.02 g%, 27.34±0.24Ã¢â‚¬Â27.02±0.28%, 126.28±1.78Ã¢â‚¬Â123.04±1.82 um3, 41.80±0.12Ã¢â‚¬Â38.40±0.71 pg, 32.42±0.08Ã¢â‚¬Â 28.45±0.08 g%, 13.16±0.28Ã¢â‚¬Â16.19±0.23×103/mm3, 10.36±0.33Ã¢â‚¬Â5.19±0.26%, 5.87±0.25Ã¢â‚¬Â4.17±0.26% and 83.08±1.27Ã¢â‚¬Â89.24±1.25% respectively. After 30 days of exposure RBCC, Hb, MCV and MCHC decreased significantly (p<0.05) at 24 ml/L, whereas increasing trend in WBCC at all concentrations has been observed. Pathological alterations of erythrocytes in blood smears included deformation sticking, lysis and abnormal presence of senile erythrocytes were clearly observed in T. putitora exposed to paper mill effluent. These changes might be attributed to structural damage of RBC membranes resulting in haemolysis and destruction in haemoglobin production. Elevation in WBCC could be due to stimulation of immune system in response to tissue damage caused by paper mill effluent. This study therefore gives an insightinto toxic effect of the paper mill effluent on T. putitora.

Groundnut, Arachis hypogaea L., Fabaceae, occupies an important place in the diet of people in developing countries due to its high nutritional value. The worst damage is caused by a species of Coleoptera Chrysomelidae Bruchinae namely Caryedon serratus Ol., whose larvae develop in seeds by eating the cotyledons. The objective of this work was to identify different ecotypes of C. serratus subservient to groundnuts in four countries in West Africa: Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger using the PCRÃ¢â‚¬Âsequencing in order to develop strategies for protection, taking into account the environment for producers. We addressed the variability of cytoplasmic genome sequencing directly into a portion of the mitochondrial cytochrome gene from 46 individuals of C. serratus sampled in the West Africa sub region. It appears that the variability of this fraction of the genome is quite strong. Several haplotypes were identified in all these countries. Phylogenetic reconstructions by parsimony, maximum likelihood and NeighborÃ¢â‚¬Âjoining confirmed the lack of structure of C. serratus according to distance. They also revealed that the same biotype infesting groundnuts in Senegal also infests the whole subÃ¢â‚¬Âregion.

The trial was laid out in a split plot designwith the two varieties of rice (NERICA 1 as inter Ã¢â‚¬Âspecific and FARO 46 asintra Ã¢â‚¬Âspecific) assigned to the main plot while seven weeding regimes (hoeweeding at 25, 45, and 65 days after sowing (DAS), 25 DAS, 45 DAS, 25 and45 DAS, application of 3’,3’ Ã¢â‚¬Â dichloropropionanilide /2, 4 – Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (orizo plus R) by Candel Company Ltd. at 3.5 kg active ingredient(ai )ha Ã¢â‚¬Â1 at 25 DAS, hoe weeding at 25 DAS followed by orizo plus at 3.5 kg aiat 45 DAS and weedy check) constituted the sub – plots. The treatmentswere replicated three times in a split plot design. From the results, interspecificvariety (NERICA1) had better weed suppression ability with highergrain yield of 3.1 t ha Ã¢â‚¬Â1 than the intraÃ¢â‚¬Âspecific variety (FARO 46). Weed controlwas better when hoe weeding was done at 25, 45 and 65 DAS or 25 and45 DAS and at 25 DAS followed by orizo plus at 45 DAS than in other treatments.However, hoe weeding at 25, 45 and 65 DAS gave significantlygreater grain yield than other treatments. Although economic yield was obtainedfrom hoe weeding at 25 DAS followed by orizo plus at 45 DAS.
