The horticultural industry in Kenya is a key income earner with intensive utilization of natural resources in water, energy, and production of enormous quantities of agricultural wastes that negatively affect the environment. Despite the increased horticultural production and processing, the current practices in sustainable horticultural processing by the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) concerning efficient use of resources and potential impact on the environment are yet to be established. This study involved a baseline survey in establishing the practices and trends in horticultural processing by MSMEs in Kenya. The digital Open data kit (ODK) platform was used to collect descriptive data from processors (n=122) across 19 counties of Kenya. Results indicated that most of the processors (57.8%) were small-scale enterprises while the micro and medium enterprises were 26.5% and 15.7%, respectively. The processed products include dried fruits and vegetables (64.7%) and frozen products (11.8%). To ensure efficient marketing, processors give out free samples (78.4%) regardless of the processor capacity (c2= 6.17, p=0.046), carry out product delivery (60.8%), and offer products on credit to clients (21.6%). There was no association between the type of enterprise and standard certifications (c2= 5.6, p=0.061), with most (59.8%) of the organizations lacking local and international certifications. Only 39.4% had certifications from the Kenya Bureau of Standards, although a weak correlation (r=0.225, p=0.023) between the certified firms and auditing was reported. Over 55% of the respondents did not know of ISO 14001 environmental management standards. Awareness of sustainable consumption and production was deficient, and only 24.5% agreed that there is strictness in the implementation of environmental legal requirements and regulations. In conclusion, the survey shows that environmental awareness scored poorly (29.5%) and, therefore, a need to conduct training on the importance of environmental sustainability during processing.

Cassava is an important food crop grown for its roots to supply daily needed calories to households in the cassava growing communities including coastal Kenya. The region contributes up to 30 % of the national cassava production though it remains food insecure with a high prevalence of malnutrition. Cassava roots are deficient in most nutrients except carbohydrates while the leaves are rich in a range of nutrients including protein but are moderately consumed as vegetables. The study sought to establish the most acceptable cassava root-leaf blend/s with improved nutrients’ content. This involved formulation of blends of cassava flakes through mixing roots and leaves in varying levels ranging from 0 % to 50 % that led to 18 different blends, with most accepted being 20%. Fermented and unfermented flakes were developed. A total of 18 formulations were developed before consumer acceptability and nutritional content were determined in the most preferred blends. The results showed cassava root-leaf flakes were best accepted when fermented root material is blended with 20% leaf component. Percent leaf content above 40% was unacceptable as such blends exuded poor smell. A calculation from the nutrients contained in blend 100 5 cassava roots against the blend that contained leaf material showed that the nutritional value showed that cassava root-leaf flakes have vitamins A and C improved by 353% and 53%, minerals- iron and zinc by 5.6% and 85% respectively and protein by 430% when compared with flakes processed from 100% cassava root. It is recommended that more studies be carried out to determine the bioavailability and nutritional effect of consumption of the flakes on children and pregnant women.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) account for over 99% of companies and about 60% of employment opportunities can be attributed to them in most countries globally. MSMEs uses energy and water intensively, is a major driver in the economy with respect to innovations, Gross Domestic Product, investments as well as exports. Despite MSMEs key role in the economy, they have not been the focus in the energy and water policy actions of the majority of countries in spite of their intensive usage of energy and water for horticultural processing. Thus, to address this gap the paper undertook a systematic literature review of energy and water for horticultural processing. Out of the 486 articles retrieved from the various databases, 18 publications met the inclusion criteria. From the literature synthesis, it’s evident that energy conservation opportunities lie in the use of renewable energy. The food processing sector globally utilizes 200 exajoules of energy annually. This consumption causes decreasing resources and large levels of greenhouse gas emissions. Processing operations consume 78% of the water supplied to a processing plant. The study recommends the utilization of the best available technologies so as to ensure energy and water use efficiency. Efficient use of energy and water by MSMEs is largely dependent on a country’s legal and regulatory framework.

Published: September 2023

Provitamin A carotenoids are important as precursors for vitamin A, essential for stronger immune system and eyesight. Consumption of a plant-based diet rich in provitamin A such as provitamin A maize is an easy and affordable source of vitamin A. The majority of the commercially grown maize varieties in Tanzania are white whose provitamin A status is uncertain and undocumented. The existing current information suggests that white maize varieties have low provitamin A, an active form of vitamin A, thus putting maize consumers at risk of vitamin A deficiency (VAD). Characterization of provitamin A status in commercial maize varieties grown and consumed in Tanzania is important to provide baseline information required for vitamin A rich-maize improvement programs. Therefore, this study was conducted to map the status of provitamin A in commercial maize varieties to accrue the information needed to improve maize nutrition quality toward controlling VAD in the country. The study involved 14 maize varieties including commercial yellow and white pigmented maize from 3 regions of Tanzania. From maize samples, carotenoid extraction was conducted based on a protocol adapted from Kurilich and Juvik (1999). The concentration of beta carotene (BC), beta-cryptoxanthin (BCX), alpha-carotene (AC) were determined by an ultraviolet spectrophotometer and provitamin A computed for the individual carotenoids components. The study found that the concentration of provitamin A and associated carotenoids significantly differed (p<0.001) among varieties studied. The mean concentration (in μg/g) for provitamin A and its components in range as provitamin A (2.64-6.50), BC (1.91-4.66), BCX (0.649-1.21), and AC (0.819-1.46). The concentrations of provitamin A in the studied maize varieties were below the recommended levels (15 μg/g). The low concentrations of provitamin A among commercial maize varieties signify the

В статье рассмотрены вопросы защиты людей, занятых на тушении лесных пожаров, от воздействия опасных факторов лесного пожара. Сделаны оценки по числовым значениям этих опасных факторов. Приведены статистические данные по США и России о гибели пожарных, попавших в ловушки при верховых лесных пожарах. Рассмотрены варианты защиты людей в виде укрытий легкого и тяжелого класса. Проанализированы нормативные документы, в частности стандарты, на предмет их применимости для сертификации укрытий. Предложены способы оценки эффективности защитных сооружений (укрытий), попавших в зону действия верхового лесного пожара.
Fighting forest fires is often accompanied by the deaths of forest firefighters. The most frequent loss of life occurs when caught in the traps of crown forest fires. Standardized firefighter uniform does not provide protection against crown fires. Therte are proposed various options for solving this problem such as the development of individual means of protection – tents and collective protective constructions for several people. The estimation of efficiency of these means of protection at influence of fire hazards (powerful heat radiation, high temperature, products of burning (CO, CO2, smoke aerosol)) can be carried out in several stages - calculations and full-scale tests. The heating of the packages of protective materials used to make the shelters can be evaluated computationally. Full-scale experiments should be performed either in the forest area or to simulate a crown forest fire, for example, by the intensity of heat emission. The calculations made it possible to determine the range of possible heat release and to simulate both low-intensity and high-intensity crown forest fires. This approach makes it possible to achieve the necessary reproducibility of the experimental results. In the future in order to avoid uncertainties in evaluating the effectiveness of shelters for forest firefighters, it is necessary to develop a normative document (GOST) defining the requirements for shelters and methods of their testing.

Abstract
The active asteroid 311P/PanSTARRS is one of the two targets of the planned Chinese asteroid exploration mission Tianwen-2. During 2013, 311P experienced several mass-loss events and exhibited multiple comet-like tails. Here we analyze the morphology and surface brightness of the tails to investigate the dust environment around the nucleus and the mechanism of activities. We enhance the features of the tails using image processing techniques to obtain information about the morphologies of the tails, and fit the processed images with syndyne–synchrone diagrams. The fitting results give estimations of the upper limits of the durations (2–8 days) of eruptions and the dust size ranges (0.006 –38.9 mm) in the tails. The results of surface photometry performed for each dust tail show that the brightness distribution index of each tail ranged from approximately −1.81 to 0 and the dust size distribution indices of 311P's tails ranged from −2.29 to −1.45. The quantity of particles in each tail ranged from 0.5 to 8 × 106 kg, which leads to a total dust-loss quantity of 3.0 × 107 kg and a mass-loss rate of 1.59 kg s−1. Sublimation, continuous impacts, or tidal forces of planets are excluded as explanations for 311P’s activities, and rotational instability remains a possible activation cause without strong evidence against it.

Sebahagian besar wilayah Indonesia termasuk daerah rawan gempa. Pada tahun 2017, gempa berkekuatan 6,5 SR pernah mengguncang Sibolangit. Berdasarkan BMKG, Sibolangit menunjukkan gempa bumi berdampak guncangan kuat dengan skala intensitas III – IV MMI. Kerusakan struktur tanah sebagai akibat langsung dari beban gempa adalah melemahnya daya dukung tanah di bawah pondasi, runtuhnya dinding pondasi pondasi, runtuhnya pilar jembatan. Sedangkan efek tidak langsung seperti kerusakan bangunan disebabkan oleh getaran yang diteruskan ke struktur tanah. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka dalam perencanaan konstruksi bangunan perlu adanya perhitungan dengan memasukkan parameter gempa. Salah satu konstruksi yang rentan terhadap percepatan gelombang gempa adalah dinding penahan tanah. Dari perhitungan Faktor Keamanan dengan Metode Bishop pada dinding penahan tanah di Desa Bandar Baru Kecamatan Sibolangit, memberikan hasil sebagai berikut : 1).Stabilitas Statis dinding penahan tanah terhadap Guling = 4,173; Geser = 5,612 ; dan Daya Dukung = 3,413; memberikan nilai aman yaitu SF > 1,5. 2). Pada perhitungan Beban Dinamis akibat Beban Gempa, maka : Nilai = 1,674 > 1,5 ; Nilai = 0,761 < 1,5 ; Nilai = 2,199 > 1,5. 3). Untuk SF geser niai < 1,5 (tidak aman). Nilai SF menjadi lebih kecil setelah konstruksi memikul beban gempa.

Objective: Haematological to investigate the effects of heat stress on some haematological parameters among food industry employees working in the production department.
Method: The ambispective, single-centre, case-control study was conducted from December 1, 2016, to June 6, 2018, at Istanbul Gedik University and the Okan University, Istanbul, which is part of the Marmara region of Turkey. The study comprised subjects of either gender aged 22-57 years. Those working in the food industry were the cases in group A, while healthy controls formed group B. Within group A, subjects who were office workers formed subgroup A1, while those in the production department working in the heat treatment areas exposed to high temperatures formed subgroup A2. Heat stress in the environment was evaluated using the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature index. Peripheral blood haemoglobin and platelet levels, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-lymphocyte ratio were compared between the cases and the controls. Data was analysed using SPSS 22.
Results: Of the 257 subjects, 139(54.1%) were women and 118 45.9%) were men. The overall mean age was 35.07±7.32. There were 143(55.6%) subjects in group A and 114(44.4%) in group B. Within group A, 19(13.3%) subjects were in subgroup A1 and 124(86.7%) in subgroup A2. The mean working duration for group A was 9.95±4.37 years (range: 5-24 years with). Haemoglobin and platelet levels were significantly lower and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio was significantly higher in subgroup A2 compared to those in subgroup A1 and group B (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in terms of platelet-lymphocyte ratio (p=0.486).
Conclusion: Differences in haematological parameters were significantly different in individuals who worked in the production department and were exposed to heat stress compared to those who did not.
