Authors: Eshiett Idongesit Oto , Eshiett Oto Eyamba 
Published: August 2024

Waste disposal, collection and treatment is an indispensable facet in the developmental phases of rural and urban cities across the globe. The accumulation, disposal and treatment of waste in urban centers have become a predicament to both private and public stakeholders in Uyo metropolis, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The objective of this study is to examine sustainable waste management and service quality delivery in Nigeria. The issues to be addressed by this study include; attitude of residents towards waste disposal, non-conformity with modern waste collection/treatment processes, and the waste management infrastructural gaps. The study adopted the 9 Development Band global theory of waste and development - using Integrated Sustainable Waste Management – ISWM approaches, with a model elucidating the effects of waste management on environmental footprint. Descriptive survey technique was adopted in which, questionnaire was administered to 384 respondents in the metropolis, as well as the conduct of in-depth interview to obtain additional information on issues that were not clarified in the structured questionnaire. Data collected from the field were collated and analyzed using Pearson Correlations Analysis Technique, to ascertain the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The findings of the study revealed unwholesome and unsustainable approaches in waste disposal/management, and suggest effective service delivery approaches in line with the 9DB model ISWM. The study recommends that residents should dispose waste in line with established waste disposal procedures, waste management authorities should adopt efficient and sustainable waste collection and treatment approaches. If these suggestions are implemented; it could reduce the metropolis environmental footprint, mitigate on the current global climate change challenges, and promote the UN-SDG - 11 which anchors on the need for sustainable cities and communities.

Multi-layer Track & Trace System Landscape with Smart Contract Validation Instances
Authors: Rabe Markus , Rainer Körsgen Henrik 
Published: August 2024

Ideas about blockchain-based applications are soaring, while the realization into existing enterprise architecture landscapes is more cumbersome. This is also valid for applications based on track & trace blockchains. The main impediment to implementing smart contracts with a subsequent financial flow from one blockchain peer to another is trust. Trust issues are prevalent in many business areas. One of the most effective countermeasures is a demonstration of the power of blockchain information systems. By showing the actors of a supply chain how their nodes in a common blockchain are interacting, suspiciousness is traded for knowledge. For this reason, an example of a realistic blockchain application is discussed in detail. The main components are a widely used SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) and Hyperledger Firefly. Since multiple layers are part of such an instance, the focus will be on the Hyperledger side. This study presents a notable advancement in the realm of blockchain-enabled track & trace solutions through the use of a novel system architecture for its end-to-end implementation. Its architecture achieves crucial integrations between web3 technologies and established enterprise systems. It offers new functionalities, such as AI integration, while simultaneously acknowledging the inherent challenges and charting potential trajectories for future research.

Authors: Li Jinjuan , Jin Yunrui , Liu Yinchun , Ju Mei 
Published: August 2024

IntroductionDirect paired meta-analyses and network meta-analysis were conducted to compare the incidence of Catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) in different types of central venous access devices (CVADs).Material and methodsThe PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane databases, CNKI and CBM were systematically searched from inception to May 31, 2024 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the incidence of CRBSIs across various types of CVADs. Literature screening, data extraction, and risk bias evaluation were all independently conducted by two individuals. Direct paired meta-analyses and network me-ta-analysis were performed using RevMan5.3 and Stata14.0 software, respectively.ResultsA total of five literatures were included. Paired meta-analyses revealed that the incidence of CRBSIs was lower in the peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) group compared to the central venous catheters(CVCs) group(RR=0.23, 95%CI(0.13-0.43), P<0.00001). The incidence of CRBSIs in PICCs group was observed to be lower compared to that in totally implantable venous access ports(TIVAPs) group (RR=0.45, 95%CI(0.23-0.87), P=0.02). Descriptive analysis revealed a higher incidence of CRBSIs in CVCs group compared to the TIVAP group (RR=2.97, 95%CI(1.65-5.17), P=0.0002). The network meta-analysis revealed a significantly lower incidence of CRBSIs in the PICCs group compared to the CVCs group. However, no statistically significant differences were observed in other comparisons. Based on the cumulative ranking curve test, the incidence of CRBSIs in various CVADs was ranked as follows: PICCs(97.20%)> TIVAPs(50.00%)>CVCs(2.80%).ConclusionsThe available evidence suggests that PICCs exhibit the lowest incidence of CVADs, followed by TIVAPs. Therefore, PICCs should be prioritized when selecting CVADs.

Authors: Rajput Adil , Ahmed Samara , Kasher Lora 
Published: August 2024

Objective: The goal of this study us to evaluate the safety of patient’s data in an Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) ecosystem. The study focuses on three main objectives: To assess the vulnerability of IoMT devices and systems to cyber threats and data breaches. Specifically, we look at the vulnerability of the raspberry pi servers that are considered the essential building block of an IOT/IOMT environment; to pinpoint vulnerability areas of IoMT ecosystem; and to identify and propose mitigation strategies for the key risks associated with the IoMT ecosystem.
Methodology
The study employed setting up a representative IOMT model where a raspberry pi server controls the IOMT devices. Specifically, we address the following:
1.	Vulnerability Assessment: An empirical analysis of a range of IoMT devices and systems was performed to identify specific vulnerabilities. This involved penetration testing and security assessments in controlled environments.
2.	Identify the mitigation strategies to gauge the effectiveness.
3.	Test the effectiveness of the mitigation strategies.
Results: The study highlights several critical vulnerabilities within the IoMT ecosystem such as weak encryption methods, lack of proper monitoring, effective authentication mechanisms, and the use of outdated software. The study showed that the underlying raspberry pi server are vulnerable to common cyberattack vectors. However, such vulnerabilities can be countered by effective mitigation techniques allowing to capitalize on the IoMT ecosystem.
Conclusion: The study confirms the need for ongoing monitoring and improvement in the IoMT ecosystem. Given the continuous advances in the technology field, the healthcare practitioners and administrators need to put a string governance process in place to ensure the continuous monitoring of potential vulnerabilities and in turn providing an effective remedy.
S’attaquer aux crises épidémiologiques : oui, mais à quel prix ?
Authors: Ammi Mehdi , Langevin Raphael , Arpin Emmanuelle , Strumpf Erin C. 
Published: August 2024

Qu’il s’agisse des dépenses en surveillance de la santé des populations, en prévention des maladies ou en promotion de la santé, toutes ont baissé de façon importante comparativement à ce qu’elles auraient été en l’absence de la pandémie de COVID-19. Ce sont là les conclusions d’une étude CIRANO d’envergure (Ammi et al., 2024) qui s’appuie sur de riches données de santé populationnelle, démographiques, socioéconomiques et épidémiologiques et des méthodes économétriques rigoureuses. Bien que nécessaires, les efforts en monitorage des urgences et risques sanitaires et en protection de la santé se sont faits au détriment d’autres actions de santé publique. Ceci pourrait avoir entraîné des effets délétères sur la santé des populations et il est primordial d’en mesurer l’ampleur.

Introdução: Afetando cerca de 1% dos nascidos vivos, a cardiopatia congênita se destaca como uma das malformações congênitas mais prevalentes. Desde o momento do nascimento, os defeitos cardíacos congênitos se manifestam como um conjunto de anormalidades estruturais no coração. Objetivo: compreender através da literatura como a cardiopatia congênita impacta na saúde das crianças. Metodologia: Para realizar uma avaliação abrangente da literatura disponível, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática nas bases de dados BVS, LILACS e SciELO. O foco da revisão foram autores que contribuíram para o campo das ciências da saúde, especificamente em relação à Cardiopatias congênitas, Pediatria e Cardiologia. Para garantir a inclusão de pesquisas recentes, a revisão concentrou-se em estudos publicados entre 2020 e 2024. Estudos repetitivos, de escopo limitado, incompletos ou apresentados como resumos foram excluídos da análise. Resultados e discussão: O diagnóstico pré-natal da doença pode ser realizado por meio de ultrassonografia fetal, enquanto o diagnóstico após o nascimento é normalmente determinado por meio de exames físicos, ecocardiogramas e vários exames de imagem. Ademais, a gravidade destas condições pode variar desde pequenos defeitos que podem não necessitar de ação imediata até anomalias graves que exigem atenção médica urgente. Nas enfermarias pediátricas, as internações hospitalares por cardiopatias congênitas são frequentemente motivadas pela necessidade de diagnóstico, monitoramento e intervenção médica ou cirúrgica. Conclusão: Em suma, o tratamento de pacientes pediátricos com anomalias cardíacas congênitas em ambientes hospitalares necessita de uma estratégia abrangente e colaborativa para garantir o atendimento ideal.
