New Insights on Carotenoid Production by Gordonia alkanivorans Strain 1B
Authors: P. Silva Tiago , M. Paixão Susana , S. Fernandes Ana , C. Roseiro José , Alves Luís 
Published: April 2022

Gordonia alkanivorans strain 1B is a desulfurizing bacterium and a hyper-pigment producer. Most carotenoid optimization studies have been performed with light, but little is still known on how carbon/sulfur-source concentrations influence carotenoid production under darkness. In this work, a surface response methodology based on a two-factor Doehlert distribution (% glucose in a glucose/fructose 10 g/L mixture; sulfate concentration) was used to study carotenoid and biomass production without light. These responses were then compared to those previously obtained under light. Moreover, carbon consumption was also monitored, and different metabolic parameters were further calculated. The results indicate that both light and glucose promote slower growth rates, but stimulate carotenoid production and carbon conversion to carotenoids and biomass. Fructose induces higher growth rates, and greater biomass production at 72 h; however, its presence seems to inhibit carotenoid production. Moreover, although at a much lower yield than under light, results demonstrate that under darkness the highest carotenoid production can be achieved with 100% glucose (10 g/L), ≥27 mg/L sulfate, and high growth time (>216 h). These results give a novel insight into the metabolism of strain 1B, highlighting the importance of culture conditions optimization to increase the process efficiency for carotenoid and/or biomass production.

Published: April 2022

Occupational needs refer to an individual’s need to engage in meaningful occupations throughout his/her day-to-day life. Certain external factors may influence an adolescent’s occupational need, including socio-economic factors, current health status, cultural beliefs or institutional environment, health education, and medical resources. In third-world countries, occupational needs are apparent and have reduced opportunities to acquire work or participate in leisure participation/exploration for clients who have a physical impairment in the community leading to unsatisfied well-being. In addition, adolescents with disabilities may find it challenging to perform their daily occupations. The researchers aimed to identify the occupational needs of adolescents with disabilities currently attending therapy services in the Argao Community-Based Project. The study utilized a convenience sampling technique and was conducted in a rural community in Argao Cebu with eight participants. The researcher collected data through one-on-one semi-structured interviews. The narratives were then transcribed and analyzed to come up with the top occupational needs of the adolescents. Several themes emerged based on the adolescents’ narratives on their occupational needs. The themes included: Sustaining Role, Values, Priorities, Essential Occupational Performance, and Belonging to a Group. The researchers found an interdependence between the themes. An occupational therapy program was then proposed to meet the said needs.

An educational institution that offers mostly paramedical courses has a significant role in strengthening community resilience as a recovery response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This study utilized a mixed-methods research design to describe the impact of the pandemic on the lives of 126 Gawad Kalinga community residents in Bacolod City, Philippines. The greatest impact of Covid-19 was the decrease in family income, but the resiliency of the residents was strengthened through each other’s support and that of partner institutions. There was difficulty in procuring food, medicine, and health care, but respondents declared their willingness to participate in livelihood initiatives. The following themes emerged from the interview with eight participants to validate the survey responses: Perseverance, Protection for Oneself and Others, Isolation, Better Safe than Sorry, Fear and Uncertainty, Weathering the Storm, Vaccines are Priority and Resiliency. Determining the impact of the pandemic was successful in incorporating the inputs of the residents into the community engagement programs of the partner educational institution. It is recommended that constant communication with the community and a regular assessment of their evolving needs must be monitored even beyond the pandemic. This can yield better recovery responses and health outcomes that may be adopted by other Gawad Kalinga communities all over the country.

Leadership allows organizations to focus on employee development and sustain efforts for well-being. It argued that the medical device industry is complex and leadership requires support to meet the demands. Moreover, increasing globalization and politicization of social welfare institutes have increased challenges. Regulatory compliance must be followed. The study aimed to explore the leadership style of senior leaders in the context of regulatory compliance in the medical device industry after the Covid-19 outbreak. The research objective is to get insight, thoughts, and shared experiences from the medical device industry leaders as they face regulatory challenges. The research used a qualitative approach and the data was collected through conducting interviews with medical device industry leaders and later performing a thematic analysis of the interview transcripts. The sample population taken in the research comprised 14 senior leaders from South Germany, particularly in Baden-Württemberg Region, where they shared their responses based on design questions. The questions were designed within the context of regulatory compliance. Ethical considerations maintain the anonymity of the participant. It was observed that regulatory compliance in the medical device industry has uncertain and dynamic situations where an authoritarian style of leadership becomes necessary. However, most of the leaders disagreed with this style of leadership and some resort to a democratic way of listening through effective communication or collaboration. Communication skill was found to be the most effective for leaders in the medical device industry. Leaders build personal relationships with their subordinates and try to cater to their needs.

Published: April 2022

Coffee farming constitutes a substantial source of income to a significant fraction of ménages across the globe, Kenya being one. The impact of climate variability on coffee farming is negative. Small-scale coffee farmers in Mukure ward, Kirinyaga have not adequately assumed appropriate adaptation strategies to enhance resilience against this challenge. The purpose of the research was to evaluate climate variability, how it relates with coffee farming and to determine the effects of adaptation strategies for resilience against climate variability by small-scale coffee farmers in Mukure ward. The study area was Mukure ward within Kirinyaga County with a total population of 30,534. Primary data was collected using questionnaires, conducting interviews among selected respondents and field observations. Data on temperature and precipitation trends was accessed from the local Kenya Meteorological Department offices while data on coffee farming was provided by Kirinyaga County Government. The raw data from the field was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and spreadsheets that then generated tables, comparative graphs and frequencies. The findings from this study indicated that small-scale coffee farmers in Mukure Ward experienced climate variability in the period 1987-2017. The study concluded that small-scale coffee farmers in Mukure ward were facing climate variability, and had devised different adaptation mechanisms which were on the other hand faced by myriad of challenges. Going by the findings of the study, with the fluctuations in temperature and rainfall patterns, there is an absolute need to create awareness among small scale-coffee farmers on climate variability, weather forecast and appropriate adaptation strategies.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: Secondary lymphedema is defined as a chronic-progressive disease that causes rich protein edema of the limbs, this may be caused due to the damage or obstruction of lymphatic structures; complications associated with loxosceles spider bite may cause damage to the lymphatic system.
Objective: To describe the clinical case of a patient with lower extremity lymphedema secondary to loxosceles' spider bite complications and to present a literature review on the topic.
Case Presentation: A 24-year-old man received previous medical attention between 2020-and 2021 due to complications of a loxosceles brown spider bite. He arrived at our facilities in January 2022 to assess his case related to progressive volume leg increase and a chronic wound in the bitten site. After the clinical history analysis, physical examination, and a near-infrared lymphography study of the leg, damage to lymphatic structures was identified; secondary lymphedema was confirmed. It was possible to reverse and control the lymphedema volume and the wound evolved to complete closure. The case is presented along with a literature review on the topic.
Conclusion: It is presented a case of lymphedema associated with a loxosceles brown spider bite, and successfully treated. Lymphedema related to a loxosceles spider bite and its complications is a clinical reality that might be underrecognized by scientific literature and clinicians; this condition should be properly studied and considered with adequate assessment strategies in patients after suffering the spider bite in extremities, especially in the mid and long-term.

Published: April 2022

Background: The present work aimed to highlight process of transmission of tolerance to insecticides in An. gambiae population over several generations.
Methodology: The experiment was carried out at the laboratory with the strain of An. gambiae that was continuously raised under laboratory conditions for more than five years. The insecticides used during this study belong to three families: methyl-parathion (carbamates), dimethoate (organophosphate), and cypermethrin (pyrethroids). For each insecticide we chose the concentration of insecticide able to exert a selective pressure on An. gambiae without inducing a total mortality. The experiment was done through 12 consecutive generations of An. gambiae s.s. the Endpoints measured: the duration of larval development, larval mortality, and the size of adults.
Results: For cypermethrin (pyrethroid) and methyl-parathion (carbamates), the development duration of the larval phase as well as larval mortality decreases significantly from the 7th generation onwards. In the other hand, the size of the adults increases significantly as early as the 5th generation for females especially for cypermethrin and the 7th generation for males. However, with dimethoate, the duration of the larval phase did not vary significantly over the generations. A decrease in larval mortality was noted from the 8th generation but it remained too high. Adult size also increased significantly from the 8th generation onward in both the two genera. This work showed the improvement over generations of certain biological indicators of the resistance. Thus,
Conclusion: we can state that resistance appears fairly early in An. gambiae s.s., especially for insecticides that are effective at low doses, such as cypermethrin and methyl-parathion

Aim: Consequent from increased demands for lipase enzymes for various purposes, the soil environment of Jos North LGA of Plateau State, Nigeria was surveyed for lipase-producing fungi.
Materials and Methods: Soil samples (300 g each) were collected randomly in triplicates from five locations (Terminus, Agwan Rukuba, Gada Biu, Farin Gada and Katako) in Jos North metropolis. Physicochemical properties (soil type, pH, temperature) and fungal counts of the soils were determined. Fungal isolates from the soil samples were preliminarily screened on phenol red agar for lipase production. Lipase activities of isolates with higher lipolytic potentials were determined using the spectrophotometric method with p-nitrophenyl dodecanoate serving as lipid substrate.
Results: The soil samples were mostly of sandy and loamy types. Mean pH and temperature ranges of the soils were 6.7-7.5 and 23.5ºC - 26.8ºC respectively. Total fungal counts of the soil samples ranged between 2.0 x 103 cfu/g and 3.9 x 104 cfu/g with Angwan Rukuba having the highest count. Fungal isolates from the study included Aspergillus niger (100%), Aspergillus ochraceus (60%), Fusarium sp. (20%), Penicillium sp. (40%), Rhizopus stolonifer (60%) and Rhizopus sp (60%). R. stolonifer produced the highest lipolysis zone diameter (3.69 mm) on phenol red agar. A lipase activity of 0.183µmol/min/ml was recorded for R. stolonifer while A. niger, Fusarium sp. and Rhizopus sp. had equal lipase activities of 0.184µmol/min/ml.
Conclusion: The findings show that the soil environment of Jos North LGA contain lipase-producing fungi which could be harnessed for industrial and environmental purposes after optimising the lipase production process.

Published: April 2022

Background: Sleep is a naturally recurring state of mind and body, characterized by altered consciousness, relatively inhibited sensory activity, reduced muscle activity and inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscles during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and reduced interactions with surroundings. It is distinguished from wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, but more reactive than a coma or disorders of consciousness, with sleep displaying different, active brain patterns. Some of the most serious potential problems associated with chronic sleep deprivation are high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, heart failure, or stroke. Other potential issues include obesity, depression, impairment in immunity, and lower sex drive.
Method: This was a cross-sectional, survey-based study. The data was collected by one-on-one telephonic and in-person interviews with the respondents. They were informed about the study and recorded their consent in the same data collection form. The consented subjects were administered with a self-assessed questionnaires Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI); the obtained data will be subjected to descriptive statistical methods.
Results: A total number of 502 patients/subjects are included in this study. The age below 30 years showed that the sleep quality was very mildly disturbed(6.65±3.77), in the age category between 30-60 years showed that the sleep quality is little worse or disturbed(11.51±3.60) and in the age category above 60 years showed that the sleep quality is worse(13.31±2.67) than the other two age groups.
Conclusion: Based on the PSQI global score assessment, the age category below 30 years represented that the sleep quality disturbance is very mild, whereas in the middle-aged group between 30-60 years, the sleep quality disturbance is moderate, and in the age category above 60 years the sleep quality disturbance is more than the age as mentioned earlier groups.
