ABSTRACT.
Malaria remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality in Benin despite the scale-up of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), indoor residual spraying, and malaria case management. This study aimed to determine the malaria burden and its associated risk factors in a rural area of Benin characterized by high net coverage and pyrethroid-resistant mosquito vectors. A community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in three districts in southern Benin. Approximately 4,320 randomly selected participants of all ages were tested for malaria using rapid diagnostic tests within 60 clusters. Risk factors for malaria infection were evaluated using mixed-effect logistic regression models. Despite high population net use (96%), malaria infection prevalence was 43.5% (cluster range: 15.1–72.7%). Children (58.7%) were more likely to be infected than adults (31.2%), with a higher malaria prevalence among older children (5–10 years: 69.1%; 10–15 years: 67.9%) compared with young children (< 5 years: 42.1%); however, young children were more likely to be symptomatic. High household density, low socioeconomic status, young age (< 15 years), poor net conditions, and low net usage during the previous week were significantly associated with malaria infection. Malaria prevalence remains high in this area of intense pyrethroid resistance despite high net use. New classes of LLINs effective against resistant vectors are therefore crucial to further reduce malaria in this area.

ABSTRACT. In this study, the level of selected heavy metals in cement dust, soil and teff samples collected from around Mugher and Habesha cement factories, Ethiopia were determined using flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS). The collected samples were digested using properly optimized acid digestion using a mixture of 5 mL HNO3:1 mL H2SO4:1 mL HClO4 at 200 oC for 2 h for the cement dust; 3 mL HNO3:4 mL HClO4:1 mL H2O2 at 300 °C for 3 h for the soil and 5 mL HNO3:3 mL H2O2 for 1:30 h at 200 °C for the teff samples. The mean concentrations of metals determined (mg/kg) were in the ranges of Cu (450.26-471.79), Zn (1096.75-1103.10), Mn (3316-3419), Cr (242-404), Fe (31846-33836), Ni (1524-1727), Co (2492-2517), Cd (20.4-26.1), Pb (255-649) for cement dust; Cu (294-333), Zn (194-330), Mn (498-521), Cr (330-450), Fe (5283-5392), Ni (1138-3719) and Co (1439-1516) for soil, Cu (85.6-89.4), Zn (314-466), Mn (733-741), Cr (297-342), Fe (1327-1574) for teff. Cd and Pb were not detected in the teff and soil samples. The soil and teff samples collected from the two cement factories contained significant level of heavy metals. Except iron, the level of heavy metals in soil and teff samples were above the permissible limit of FAO/WHO.

Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT. A novel distorted square-planar palladium(II) complex of the type [Pd(Hdz)(PPh3)Cl], where (Hdz = dithizone mono deprotonate and PPh3 = triphenylphosphine), was synthesized in dichloromethane reactions between PdCl2 and a mixture of Hdz and PPh3. The new Pd(II) complex has been identified by FT-IR, electronic spectra, DFT calculations, molar conductivity, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. An X-ray diffraction study revealed the structure of this complex, indicating distorted square planar coordination geometry around the Pd(II) ion by N, S, P, and Cl donor atoms. XRD analysis has also shown that the Pd(II) complex contains one five-membered ring formed by the coordination of the Hdz ligand through the nitrogen and sulfur atoms to the palladium metal center. To comprehend the strength of nucleophilic and electrophilic attack between the ligands and metal ions, the natural bond orbital (NBO) was used. Finally, density functional theory (DFT) was used to show the molecular reactivity and stability of the ligands and palladium complex.

ABSTRACT. The aim of the current study was to analyze the polyphenols and determines the antioxidant, analgesic and diuretic properties of the methanolic extract of C.speciosus rhizome. DPPH and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays were used to determine the antioxidant activity. Acetic acid-induced writhing and formalin-induced licking experiments were used to assess the analgesic effect. The total phenolic, flavonoid and flavonol contents were found 51.73± 0.25 mg GAE/g dry weight, 3.41± 0.07mg QE/g dry weights and 44.19± 2.24 mg QE/g dry weight, respectively. The plant extract exhibited weak antioxidant activity in the DPPH and FRAP assays, with an IC50 value of 1699±62 μg/mL and an EC50 value of 125±2 μg/mL, respectively. The extract significantly reduced the number of writhes at both doses (200 and 400 mg/kg body weight) as compared to the control. The extract (400 mg/kg) also significantly reduced the percent inhibition of licking by 31.96 and 62.69% compared to the control in the early and late phase, respectively. Compared to the standard drug furosemide, the plant extract also showed a weak diuretic effect. The docking study supported the analgesic activity of rhizome extract. The potent analgesic activity of the plant extract justifies the traditional and medicinal aspects.

ABSTRACT. Biopolymers are referred to the bio-degradable polymer that is derived from living organisms in nature or synthesized from renewable materials but needs polymerization. There are consisting of monomeric units that bond together through a covalent bond to obtain large molecules. A biopolymeric blend of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose/sodium alginate (Na-CMC/SA) film was prepared by the casting/solvent evaporation method. In addition to the molecular structure, the optical and molecular geometry of the collected films were characterized. XRD of binary blend investigated the interaction and miscibility among two biopolymers. FTIR of the blend spectrum explicated the conferring of the two polymer group’s vibrations. UV/Vis and optical studies appeared a peak in the binary at the wavelength (227 nm) which explained the high combination between two polymers. Molecular geometry clarifies the assignment of vibrational spectra of pure polymers which implied the important role of the (C=O) group as eventful regions for the two polymers.

Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT. Thermal spring areas, which are available globally, are used for recreational purposes or wellness applications because these areas have mineral-rich materials of thermal water and thermal muds. At the same time, thermal spring areas are one of the best habitats for algae among aquatic habitats. If algae formed on the surface of the thermal water in these areas, they create an ugly appearance and disrupt the aesthetics of the water because of their uncontrolled growth. The algae removal applications are the most effective methods for solution of these adversities in the thermal spring areas. In this work, experimental study was carried out to investigate the removal of algae from thermal water and thermal mud pools in the Delicermic-Koprukoy (Erzurum, NE Turkey) thermal spring area. For this purpose, some chemical materials were used for the removal of algae. The results of the experimental studies showed that the Al2SO3+CaO solution is a good material that provides 100% removal of algae from thermal water and thermal mud pools at pH 6.

Effect of aluminum oxide on the structure and conduction behaviors of silver borate glasses
Authors: El Damrawi G. , M. Abdelghany A. , Salaheldin H. 
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT. The current study focuses on glass preparation and characterization in the glass system of chemical formula xAl2O3 (35-x) Ag2O.65B2O3 (0≤x≤35 mol%), where Ag2O is replaced with Al2O3. To examine a wide range of both structure and morphology of the prepared glasses, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of 27Al nuclei, X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used. In Al2O3-rich glass, the well-formed AlO6, AlO5, and AlO4 structural groups are the well-formed units. In samples of (20 and 30 mol % Al2O3), tetrahedral AlO4 and traces from AlO6 units could be detected. At lower concentrations of Al2O3 (10 mol%), the dominant forming unit is only AlO4 groups containing non-bridging oxygen bonds (NBO). The XRD spectra confirm the amorphous nature of the glasses of Al2O3 ˂20 mol% while glasses of higher Al2O3 concentrations contain crystalline Ag2Al2B2O7 formed due to the higher oxygen packaging of the mixed AlO5 and AlO4 compared with that of glasses containing only AlO4 species only. The morphology of crystalline units is confirmed from TEM to differ from that of an amorphous composition. The increase of activation energy and the hardness number of the glasses led to an increase in the durability of the investigated glasses.
