Abstract
Highly infectious viral diseases are a serious threat to mankind as they can spread rapidly among the community, possibly even leading to the loss of many lives. Early diagnosis of a viral disease not only increases the chance of quick recovery, but also helps prevent the spread of infections. There is thus an urgent need for accurate, ultrasensitive, rapid, and affordable diagnostic techniques to test large volumes of the population to track and thereby control the spread of viral diseases, as evidenced during the COVID-19 and other viral pandemics. This review paper critically and comprehensively reviews various emerging nanophotonic biosensor mechanisms and biosensor technologies for virus detection, with a particular focus on detection of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus. The photonic biosensing mechanisms and technologies that we have focused on include: (a) plasmonic field enhancement via localized surface plasmon resonances, (b) surface enhanced Raman scattering, (c) nano-Fourier transform infrared (nano-FTIR) near-field spectroscopy, (d) fiber Bragg gratings, and (e) microresonators (whispering gallery modes), with a particular emphasis on the emerging impact of nanomaterials and two-dimensional materials in these photonic sensing technologies. This review also discusses several quantitative issues related to optical sensing with these biosensing and transduction techniques, notably quantitative factors that affect the limit of detection (LoD), sensitivity, specificity, and response times of the above optical biosensing diagnostic technologies for virus detection. We also review and analyze future prospects of cost-effective, lab-on-a-chip virus sensing solutions that promise ultrahigh sensitivities, rapid detection speeds, and mass manufacturability.

Published: December 2022

The study examined barriers to effective parenting of adolescent children in resource-constrained communities. A qualitative approach was adopted for data collection and analysis. Thematic analysis was applied to data acquired from a sample of parents from resource-constrained areas in the Western Cape Province, South Africa. Parents interviewed identified the following barriers: financial constraints, peer influence, alcohol and drug abuse, lack of adequate parental time, communication and maturational changes. Given the parental challenges emerging from the findings of the study, greater understanding of the conditions under which effective parenting of adolescent children in resource-constrained societies can be fostered is essential.

Authors: Subekti Niken , Wulandari Retno 
Published: December 2022

The use of disposable medical masks during the Covid-19 pandemic can cause solid waste problems in the environment. The subterranean termite Macrotermes gilvus Hagen has the potential to degrade medical mask waste due to the presence of microorganisms in its intestines. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of adding starter bacteria from the intestine of the subterranean termite M. gilvus Hagen and the most optimal composting time in the degradation of medical mask waste according to SNI standards based on physical properties (color, smell, and texture), chemical properties (C-Organic content, N content, and C/N) compost. The results showed that the addition of bacterial starter from the subterranean termite intestine M. gilvus Hagen with a concentration of 50% and a composting time of 5 weeks gave the best compost yield according to SNI No. 19-7030-2004 because it has a dark brown color, crumb texture, smells like soil, 20.22% C-Organic content, 1.35% total N content, and 15.14% C/N content. This research can be recommended as an alternative solution for waste management using biological agents.

Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND
Resettled refugees land in Canada through 3 sponsorship models with similar health insurance and financial supports but differences in how resettlement is facilitated. We examined whether health system utilization, costs, and aggregate 1-year morbidity differed by resettlement model.

METHODS
Population-based matched cohort study in Ontario, 2008 to 2018, including pediatric (0–17 years) resettled refugees and matched Ontario-born peers and categorized refugees by resettlement model: (1) private sponsorship (PSRs), (2) Blended Visa Office-Referred program (BVORs), and (3) government-assisted refugee (GAR). Primary outcomes were health system utilization and costs in year 1 in Canada. Multivariable logistic regression was used to test the associations between sponsorship model and major illnesses.

RESULTS
We included 23 287 resettled refugees (13 360 GARs, 1544 BVORs, 8383 PSRs) and 93 148 matched Ontario-born. Primary care visits were highest among GARs and lowest in PSRs (median visits [interquartile range], GARs 4[2–6]; BVORs 3[2–5]; PSRs 3[2–5]; P &lt;.001). Emergency department visits and hospitalizations were more common among GARs and BVORs versus PSRs (emergency department: GARs 19.2%; BVORs 23.4%; PSRs 13.8%; hospitalizations: GARs 2.5%; BVORs 3.2%; PSRs 1.1%, P &lt;.001). Mean 1-year health system costs were highest among GARs (mean [standard deviation] $1278 [$7475]) and lowest among PSRs ($555 [$2799]; Ontario-born $851 [9226]). Compared with PSRs, GARs (adjusted odds ratio 1.63, 95% confidence interval 1.47–1.81) and BVORs (adjusted odds ratio 1.52, 95% confidence interval 1.26–1.84) were more likely to have major illnesses.

CONCLUSIONS
Health care use and morbidity of PSRs suggests they are healthier and less costly than GARs and BVOR model refugees. Despite a greater intensity of health care utilization than Ontario-born, overall excess demand on the health system for all resettled refugee children is low.

Published: December 2022

Allelopathy is a phenomenon in which a plant produces allelochemicals that affect neighboring plants' growth and physiological processes. This study aimed to investigate the allelopathic effect of Eichhornia crassipes on the growth of Mimosa pudica seedlings. The experiment was conducted in the pot, where M. pudica seedlings were irrigated with aqueous leaf extract of E. crassipes at 5, 10 and 15% (w/v) concentrations once a week for four consecutive weeks. The experiment was carried out by Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replicates. The allelochemical contents of leaf extract were quantified using a spectrophotometric method, and the total phenolic content was 129.54 mg GAE/g DW. The maximum percentage of electrolyte leakage was detected in M. pudica seedlings when treated with a higher concentration of E. crassipes leaf extract. The allelopathic effect of E. crassipes extract on growth, chlorophyll content and lipid peroxidation was also determined. The result showed a significant decrease in length, weight and chlorophyll contents treated with 10 and 15% concentrations of E. crassipes leaf extracts. However, malondialdehyde (MDA) in the root of M. pudica seedlings treated with aqueous leaf extract of E. crassipes at 10% and 15% (w/v) concentrations were found to be remarkably higher compared to control. These results indicated that the E. crassipes leaf extract exhibited allelopathic effects on M. pudica growth. However, the increase of the allelopathic effect of E. crassipes leaf extract was concentration-dependent.

Natural products and their derivatives have historically been invaluable as a source of therapeutic agents. The Mesua (Calophyllaceae) has been known to produce various new chemical compounds of medicinal values. Some Mesua species have yielded new potential anticancer agents that are important to the pharmaceutical industry. In this research, phytochemical constituents, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of different solvent extracts of Mesua assamica stem bark and leaves were evaluated. The stem bark and leaves of M. assamica were successively extracted in hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol. Qualitative phytochemical analysis showed that most of the M. assamica extracts consist of important phytochemicals, namely, anthraquinones, terpenoids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, phlobatannins, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, glycosides, decreasing sugars, steroids, lipids, phenols, coumarins, carbohydrates, proteins, and betacyanin indicating its potential for medicinal use. Quantitative determination of total phenolics, total flavonoids, and in vitro antioxidant activities through DPPH assay of M. assamica extracts have been achieved by utilizing colorimetric methods. In vitro cytotoxic evaluation through MTT assay induction against human breast MCF-7 cancer cell lines exhibited that hexane extracts were found to have IC50 value below 30 μg/mL and conferred effectiveness in inducing cell death MCF-7. The diversity of phytochemicals present suggests that the stem bark and leaves of M. assamica could serve as a supply of potentially valuable medications. Exploiting the plant's pharmacological qualities will necessitate more study on the isolation, purification, and identification of bioactive components.

Published: December 2022

O seguinte trabalho tem como objetivo geral investigar a disposição dos materiais de absorção sonora em salas de aula, através dos parâmetros acústicos obtidos. As salas de aula têm como função a promoção da aprendizagem através da comunicação oral e da audição. Assim, uma das principais propriedades físicas que determinam o sucesso desta função é a qualidade acústica das salas de aula. A inteligibilidade da fala é um dos parâmetros mais relevantes e pode ser melhorado minimizando o ruído e reduzindo a reverberação. Uma tática para diminuir a reverberação de uma sala é o amortecimento das ondas sonoras, utilizando materiais absorventes como: cadeiras acolchoadas, cortinas, carpetes e painéis de absorção sonora (PAS). No entanto, a influência do posicionamento dos elementos, principalmente dos PAS, é pouca estudada. Para a realização os experimentos das posições com as PAS, utilizamos o Laboratório de Mecânica Aplicada (LabMEC), localizado na UFG. Baseado na ISO 3382-2 foram selecionados 2 e 3 pontos distintos para a fonte sonora e receptor, respectivamente, 5 configurações de quantidade de PAS e 3 posicionamentos dos PAS, resultando em um experimento fatorial completo geral com 4 fatores. Os testes foram feitos variando de zero a quatro PAS, sempre em diferentes posições. Os dados obtidos foram analisados pela técnica da análise de variância (ANOVA), almejando identificar os fatores mais significativos para o desempenho acústico do ambiente. Devido ao efeito dos PAS no amortecimento do som, espera-se que quanto maior quantidade de painéis, melhores serão os parâmetros acústicos. Além disso, a comparação dos leiautes quanto à disposição dos painéis, possibilitará a elucidação de quais posições melhorarão o tratamento acústico em salas de aula. Ao final, através da ANOVA será possível concluir que o desempenho acústico de uma sala de aula pode ser melhorado considerando outros fatores além da quantidade de PAS.

Authors: Jafarnia Jordan , Wininger Austin E. , Holderread Brendan M. , Harris Joshua D. , Echo Anthony 
Published: December 2022

Case:
Large acetabular paralabral cysts can cause compression of the surrounding neurovascular structures leading to sensory and motor deficits. We present a 68-year-old man with obturator nerve denervation from a paralabral cyst secondary to a labral tear associated with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. Resolution of symptoms and return to full activities were achieved at 3 months and maintained beyond 1 year through open cyst excision, obturator neurolysis, arthroscopic femoral osteoplasty, and labral repair in the same surgical setting. The patient had a successful clinical outcome, with pain and dysfunction resolution.

Conclusion:
Large paralabral cysts may cause obturator nerve compression, which can be successfully treated with open nerve decompression and arthroscopic treatment of labral pathology.
Where is my footprint located? Estimating the geographical variance of Hybrid-LCA footprints
Authors: Jakobs Arthur , Schulte Simon , Pauliuk Stefan 
Published: December 2022

Abstract

Hybrid- Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) mostly fails to fully exploit valuable information from Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) models by aggregating regional supply chains to the lower geographical resolution of process LCA databases. We propose a method for sampling the various individual regions within the aggregated regional scope of LCA processes. This sampling not only maximises the information content of the hybrid LCA footprint results by preserving the regional variance, it also allows for using regional price distributions form BACI/UN-COMTRADE international trade statistics to simultaneously improve the accuracy of the hybrid model. In this work we analyse the impact of regional variance and the use of regional price distributions on the uncertainty of the hybrid footprint results for both the carbon (GWP100) and land use footprint and compare this to the variance resulting from price variance only and regional variance only. We find that the median process footprint intensity increases by 7 +18 − 3 % for the GWP100 due to hybridisation, and 90 +143 − 23 % for the Land Use footprint. Our results also show that the magnitude of the footprint uncertainty strongly depends on the product sector of the LCA process and environmental impact considered. Additionally, we illustrate the effect of regional variance and price distributions on a consumption footprint using a case study of Swiss household consumption. Here the truncation error estimates are 8 . 4 +9 . 2 − 2 . 7 % for the GWP100 and 36 +64-14 % for the land use footprint. The relative uncertainties of the truncation error correction are very high (110-178% for the upper limits) moreover the have a strong positive skew. Our results highlight the importance of regionalisation of process LCA databases, as it has the potential to significantly improve both the precision and accuracy of hybrid LCA models.
Factors affecting soil quality index and spatial variability of multifunction in dryland: Climate and biological soil crust development
Authors: Li Yonggang , Huang Yunjie , Lu Yongxing , Yin Benfeng , Tao Ye , Zhou Xiaobing , Zhang Yuanming 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background and Aims:
Soil multifunctional (MF) and quality index (SQI) are essential indicators of soil function, productivity, and health, and the spatial variability of soil multifunctional (SVM) is a significant characteristic of soil heterogeneity. As fundamental components of drylands, biological soil crusts (BSCs) or biocrusts regulate soil MF, SQI, and SVM to global climate changes. Biocrusts affect the soil MF, SQI, and SVM; however, there is little information about the role of soil in interspaces of BSC patches with diverse biocrust types in regulating the response of multiple ecosystem functions to climate change.
Methods
We evaluated the relative importance of climate, soil environment, and biotic (e.g., BSC) variables as drivers of soil MF, SQI, and SVM at 74 sites in the Gurbantunggut Desert.
Results
We found that soil pH, soil EC, soil MF, and SQI increase with the development of BSC. Climate (MAP, MAT, MAW) and soil environment (soil pH, EC) affect soil MF and SQI. SVM displayed a significant decreasing trend with the increase of MAP and soil EC. Based on the SEM analysis, the interpretation rate of the model to the SVM was 24%. The SEM model shows that the climate has a significant positive effect on soil sand content, soil EC, and soil MF. Similarly, BSC development had a significant positive effect on soil EC, soil MF, and SQI. BSC development had no significant influence on the SVM.
Conclusion
These results indicate that future changes in climate may directly affect the desert soil MF, SQI, and SVM and indirectly affect soil MF and SQI by changes in soil environment (soil sand content, pH, EC) and BSC development. The findings contribute significantly to our understanding of the patterns and mechanisms driving soil MF, SQI, and SVM in drylands, which is important for predicting changes in ecosystem functioning under climate change.
