Published: September 2022

Tuna is an adequate source of animal protein tall. Animal-based food ingredients such as tuna have high protein content but low in fiber so it is necessary to add materials that contain fiber to meet the nutrients the body needs. Fiber that is contained in plant materials such as vegetables and nuts, one of which is found in green spinach. Nutritional content in green spinach which is quite high and the availability of many ingredients, provide opportunities to be utilized in processing diversification foods such as nuggets. Nuggets are processed products made from ground meat mixture and may or may not contain other ingredients or approved food additives. Nuggets in this study were made from cobs and green spinach. The study aims to get the best formulations of cobs nuggets and green spinach that meet the best sensory and chemical properties. The study's design is a Complete Randomized Design (RAL) with five treatments and three repeats. The data was statistically analyzed using variance analysis (ANOVA) and Duncan's test (DMRT) at a level of 5%. Treatment consists of TB1 (cob and spinach [90:10]), TB2 (cob and spinach [80:20]), TB3 (cob and spinach [70:30]), TB4 (cob and spinach [60:40]), and TB5 (cob and green spinach [50:50]). In this study, the combination of cobs and spinach affected water content, ash content, fibre and protein, and the sensory assessment of nuggets in terms of colour, aroma, taste, and texture. The best treatment is TB2 (cobs and green spinach [80:20]) with a moisture content of 56.82%, ash content of 1.44%, protein content of 13.74% and fibre content of 2.45%, with preferred TB2. Panellists rated the nuggets as greenish-grey, highly flavorful cobs, flavoured cobs and chewy textures

Abstract
Clonostachys, a group with rich morphological and ecological diversity in Bionectriaceae, has a wide distribution among diverse habitats. In the present study, a phylogenetic framework is reconstructed for the family Bionectriaceae focusing on Clonostachys through increased taxon-sampling using the nrLSU sequence. Through surveying Clonostachys in China, Vietnam, and Thailand over the past 3 years, seven Clonostachys spp. were found and identified. Two new species, C. chuyangsinensis and C. kunmingensis, are described and illustrated based on morphological characteristics and molecular data. The phylogenetic positions of the seven species were evaluated based on four genomic loci (ITS, nrLSU, TUB2, and TEF1). Moreover, the genetic divergence comparisons of Clonostachys species for three markers (ITS, TUB2, and TEF1) are also provided. The results indicated that the TEF1 sequence data provided the best resolution for distinguishing species of Clonostachys, followed by sequence data for the TUB2 and ITS regions.

Abstract
For the assembly of multi-stage rotors, this paper proposes the coaxiality predicting model of multi-stage rotors based on neural network. The model takes the complicated operation of centering and tilting during the measurement of single-stage rotor machining error and the indeterminacy of saddle surface error transmission mechanism during the process of multi-stage rotors assembling into consideration. First of all, the paper proposes the depolarization and declination model of single-stage saddle surface rotor based on deep confidence neural network. And then, the single-stage rotor machining error is taken as the input amount into the BP neural network to establish the coaxiality predicting model of multi-stage saddle surface rotors. Finally, experimental measurements of the level-four core engine rotor are performed to verify the accuracy of multi-stage rotors coaxiality prediction model. The result shows that the coaxiality of multi-stage rotors can be effectively predicted by the neural network. The average error of coaxiality prediction is 1.0μm, the standard deviation is 0.7μm, compared to the traditional method, the mean error and standard deviation decreases by 81.8% and 73.1%, respectively, which can reflect the advantages of the coaxiality prediction model of BP neural network.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background
Functional National Public Health Institutes (NPHIs) are critical for effective surveillance, outbreak detection and response, provision of specialized diagnostic services, research and capacity building to guide health policies and strategies through science and data. Many countries in Africa lack fully functioning NPHIs and remain ill-prepared to respond to public health threats with the required speed and agility.
Objective
The main objective of this study was to map and generate information on the status of NPHI establishment in Africa, understand the legal frameworks used by the countries to establish NPHIs, and describe the different models of NPHIs in the continent.
Methods
A semi-structured questionnaire was administered online by the Africa CDC between 18 July 2021 and 26 May 2022. Data was collated, filtered and analyzed using Microsoft Excel and Arc GIS for mapping of NPHI establishment status by country. Informed consent was obtained from all participating institutions.
Result
Of the 55 African Union Member States, 40 (72.7%) responded to the online survey. Among the Members States that responded, 12 reported being fully-established, 17 indicated that they were at an advanced stage, six (6) have started the process, and five (5) reported as not having a plan to develop a NPHI. Among the fully-established and at advanced stage NPHIs, 17 (58.6%) are autonomous and semi-autonomous, three (10.3%) are a network of institutions, and nine (31%) are structured as a departments under the Ministries of Health. The most common functions of NPHsI are Research (26), Surveillance and Disease Intelligence (24), Epidemic Preparedness and Response (24), Workforce Development (19), Public Health Informatics (15), and Health Promotion (10).
Conclusion
Success in building strong health systems in Africa requires countries to have strong Public Health Institutions. Thus, more efforts are required from the Africa CDC, African Union Member States and development partners to advocate and support the strengthening and the establishment of new NPHIs.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
This study aimed to help smallholder farmers to use their indigenous knowledge in combination with modern climate indicators when making farming decisions in Nkomazi Local Municipality. The Poynton model was used to predict the distribution of the plant and animal indicators if the temperature continues to rise by at 50C. Twelve villages were sampled with 100 participants applying both qualitative and quantitative research methods. ArcMap 10.7.1 was used to map the distribution of indigenous climate indicators in these villages, and SPSS 25.0 was used to analyse the quantitative data. Qualitative data was analysed through thematic analysis. Mostly used indicators smallholder farmers relied on for weather predictions included animals (31%) followed by plants (26%). The Poynton model predicted negative results with a 50C temperature increase, meaning that if the hot temperatures continue rising, the farmers' indigenous indicators will decline or disappear, making it difficult for the rural smallholder farmers to make informed farm-level decisions. These are the negative effects climate change has on rural smallholder farmers. Therefore, the study suggests an integration of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) and modern science to adapt to climate change, have access to updated agricultural information and ability to make informed farm-level decisions.

Abstract

Background:Malrotation is the most common form of malunion in closed intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fractures. We introduced the lesser trochanter vanishing angle (LTVA) and discussed the use of the LTVA as a guide for rotation alignment in femoral shaft fractures treated by intramedullary nails.Methods:One hundred and seven femurs derived from 107 cadaver specimens aged more than 70 years were included in this study. All of the femur specimens were scanned by computed tomography (CT). The CT data were imported into Mimics software, and then all the measurements were processed in the software. The LTVA and femoral anteversion angle (FAA) were the main measurements taken.Results:Ultimately, 107 femurs derived from 107 cadaver specimens, including 60 right femurs and 47 left femurs, were included in this study. Among the 107 cadaver specimens, 41 were male and 66 were female. The mean age of cadaver specimens was 84.2±6.4 years. The mean FAA was 16.9±7.6 degrees for a total of 107 femurs. The mean LTVA was 31.7±12.4 degrees, of which the LTVA of the left femur was 32.2±12.9 degrees and the LTVA of the right femur was 30.9±11.8 degrees. LTVA was significantly correlated with FAA (r=0.5273, P<0.0001). The result of the linear regression fit showed that LTVA = 0.8655*FAA+17.02.Conclusion:The LTVA is significantly positively correlated with the FAA, and the LTVA can be used as a guide for rotation alignment in femoral shaft fractures treated by intramedullary nails.

Abstract
The upsurge of emerging infectious diseases over the past few years especially from bacteria is a major global threat. The antibiotic used for the treatment purposes has adverse health effects. Hence, there is a need for novel natural alternates to overcome such issues. In this research work, the antibacterial effects of bio-inspired silver nanoparticles from Azadirachta indica bark were explored. Herein, the AgNPs were synthesized using aqueous extract of A. indica bark. The optimization of parameters was carried out using Box-Behnken Design ver. 12. Using response surface methodology the conditions for biosynthesis of small sized and uniformly distributed nanoparticles were optimized. The physicochemical characterizations of AgNPs were done by DLS, SEM, Zeta potential and FTIR. The DLS and SEM data revealed the average size of particles to be 76.35 nm and 30.6 nm respectively. FTIR analysis has shown the involvement of conjugated alkenes in the biosynthesis and capping process. In this research, the biological applications of AIB-AgNPs were also explored. The antimicrobial activities were determined by disc diffusion, Congo red agar and Crystal violet assays. The antimicrobial activity was found to be increased in a dose dependent manner. We have also looked into the mechanistic aspect of antibacterial activity. For this, cellular damages caused by AgNPs treatment were studied by membrane leakage analysis. The binding of AgNPs with bacterial cell and cellular leakage were visualized by SEM. Lastly, changes in the functional groups of membrane composition of bacterial cells were depicted by FTIR.
Techno-economic Study and Environmental Analysis for the Production of Bio-methanol Using a Solar-aided Dual-bed Gasifier
Authors: nwai Christian Yakan a , Patel Bilal 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the effect utilizing solar energy as the heat source for gasification reactions during the production of methanol from corn stover. For this purpose, two biorefinery scenarios were modelled: a standalone scenario where gasification was performed in a conventional dual-bed gasifier, and a solar-aided scenario where solar energy was used to drive the gasification reactions. In the solar-aided scenario, biochar was exported as a co-product rather than combusted. Results obtained revealed that the incorporation of solar energy could enhance the net gasification efficiency by 10 to 24%, depending on the biomass moisture content. Also, the biorefinery energy conversion efficiency was found to be 48% for the standalone scenario and 61% for the solar-aided scenario. Moreover, the export of biochar as a co-product resulted in a 35% decrease in potential environmental impact. Furthermore, the methanol production costs could be 13.35 $/GJ for the standalone scenario and 21.29 $/GJ for the solar-aided scenario. While the minimum biochar selling price was estimated to be 13.04 $/GJ. These results suggest that the adoption of solar-aided gasification could be one way to advance the circular bioeconomy concept, where lignocellulose is used to produce not only fuels but also bio-products capable of gradually substituting fossil-based alternatives.

Abstract
Purpose Breast cancer patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components show worse treatment responses to chemotherapy. Metformin is a widely used antidiabetic drug which also shows potential anticancer effect. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and metabolic parameters change of metformin combined with docetaxel, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide (TEC) in neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) for breast cancer patients with metabolic abnormality.
MethodsEligible breast cancer patients were randomized to receive six cycles of TEC (docetaxel 75mg/m2, epirubicin 75mg/m2, and cyclophosphamide 500mg/m2, d1, q3w) or TEC with metformin (TECM, TEC with oral metformin 850mg once daily for the first cycle, then 850mg twice daily for the following cycles). The primary end point was total pathological complete response (tpCR, ypTis/0N0) rate.
ResultsNinety-two patients were enrolled and randomized from October 2013 to December 2019: 88 patients were available for response and safety assessment. The tpCR rates were 12.5% (5/40) and 14.6% (7/48) in the TEC and TECM groups, respectively (P=0.777). There was no difference in Ki67 decrease after NAT between two groups (P=0.456). Toxicity profile were similar between two groups. No grade 3 or higher diarrhea were recorded. Total cholesterol (TC) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol worsened after NAT in the TEC arm but remained stable in the TECM arm. The absolute increase of TC and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was significantly lower in the TECM group compared with the TEC group. After a median follow up of 40.8 (4.7-70.8) months, no survival difference was observed between TEC and TECM groups (all P>0.05).
ConclusionAdding metformin to TEC didn’t increase pCR rate and disease outcome in breast cancer patients with metabolic abnormality. However, additional metformin treatment with chemotherapy would prevent TC and LDL-C increase after NAT, deserving further clinical evaluation.
