description: BackgroundVector-borne diseases (VBDs) account for 17% of the estimated global burden of all infectious diseases and seriously threaten global public health. Human migration, population growth, trade, and climate and environmental changes increase the risk of VBDs’ geographic expansion. Although Qatar does not have indigenous cases of VBDs, the influx of expatriate workers from VBDs endemic countries and the environment and climate being suitable for vector mosquitoes suggest a potential risk for local transmission. We aimed to define the types and distribution of mosquitoes that are of public health concern and the epidemiological features of VBDs in Qatar.MethodsVBD cases reported to Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health between 2013 and 2021 were analyzed with descriptive statistics. Field surveys were conducted between 2021 and 2022, and mosquitoes were collected using a variety of traps from 8 different municipalities in Qatar. Collected samples were subjected to morphological followed by molecular characterization.ResultsA total of 4,092 and 166 cases of malaria and dengue fever were respectively reported during the study period. The mean incidence of malaria and dengue was estimated to be 13.5/100,000 and 0.7/100,000 population, respectively. The majority of the VBD cases were male, non-Qatari, between 20-50 years of age (matching Qatar’s overall population demography), and notified during the hot months (June-September). The results of the adult mosquito trappings showed that Culex quinquefasciatus is the most widespread followed by Cx. Pipiens, Aedes caspius, Anopheles stephensi Cx. tritnaneorhynchus, Cx. sitiens, Culiseta longiareolata, Cx. thileri, and Ochlerotatus caspius voucher.ConclusionThis study has provided crucial information regarding the presence and various types of vectors and VBDs in Qatar. It highlights the need for further research and prevention strategies. Enhanced surveillance is necessary to assess the distribution and biting habits of vectors and to prevent local transmission by identifying and isolating imported cases.

description: Privacy is currently in distress and in need of rescue, much like princesses in the all-familiar fairytales. We employ storytelling and metaphors from fairytales to make reader-friendly and streamline our arguments about how a complex concept of Privacy Labeling (the 'knight in shining armor') can be a solution to the current state of Privacy (the 'princess in distress'). We give a precise definition of Privacy Labeling (PL), painting a panoptic portrait from seven different perspectives (the 'seven helpers'): Business, Legal, Regulatory, Usability and Human Factors, Educative, Technological, and Multidisciplinary. We describe a common vision, proposing several important 'traits of character' of PL as well as identifying 'undeveloped potentialities', i.e., open problems on which the community can focus. More specifically, this position paper identifies the stakeholders of the PL and their needs with regard to privacy, describing how PL should be and look like in order to address these needs. Throughout the paper, we highlight goals, characteristics, open problems, and starting points for creating, what we consider to be, the ideal PL. In the end we present three approaches to establish and manage PL, through: self-evaluations, certifications, or community endeavors. Based on these, we sketch a roadmap for future developments.

description: Semantic segmentation of microscopy cell images by deep learning is a significant technique. We considered that the Transformers, which have recently outperformed CNNs in image recognition, could also be improved and developed for cell image segmentation. Transformers tend to focus more on contextual information than on detailed information. This tendency leads to a lack of detailed information for segmentation. Therefore, to supplement or reinforce the missing detailed information, we hypothesized that feedback processing in the human visual cortex should be effective. Our proposed Feedback Former is a novel architecture for semantic segmentation, in which Transformers is used as an encoder and has a feedback processing mechanism. Feature maps with detailed information are fed back to the lower layers from near the output of the model to compensate for the lack of detailed information which is the weakness of Transformers and improve the segmentation accuracy. By experiments on three cell image datasets, we confirmed that our method surpasses methods without feedback, demonstrating its superior accuracy in cell image segmentation. Our method achieved higher segmentation accuracy while consuming less computational cost than conventional feedback approaches. Moreover, our method offered superior precision without simply increasing the model size of Transformer encoder, demonstrating higher accuracy with lower computational cost.

description: Le présent article est le résultat d’un travail mené par les auteurs sur les questions de développement social et territorial dans deux pays africains : le Maroc et le Togo. Le choix de faire une comparaison entre les indicateurs des deux pays ne s’explique guère par la présence d’une grille unifiée d’exploration des données. Au contraire, bien que les outils mobilisés dans chacun des cas ne soient pas les mêmes, du moment que ce sont les contextes qui dictent la manière la plus judicieuse pour interroger le terrain, l’objectif était de tracer les traits saillants de la crise socio-spatiale qui guette certains pays africains. Si pour le cas du Maroc, nous avons choisi d’analyser les effets des politiques de lutte contre la pauvreté et la vulnérabilité à partir d’un grand chantier qui est celui de l’Initiative Nationale pour le Développement Humain telle que déclinée sur le territoire des régions et des provinces, le cas du Togo était l’occasion de croiser les facteurs explicatifs de la crise urbaine à travers le corolaire chômage-habitat précaire. Pour ce faire, nous avons revisité les théories et les approches qui ont encadré l’évolution des débats des sciences sociales sur les questions du développement territorial tout en soulignant celles qui développent plutôt des approches dynamiques, compréhensives et explicatives. Nous considérons qu'il est plus aisé dans l’analyse des problèmes de sous-développement de mobiliser des approches holistes qui n’accordent qu’une mince marge à l’autonomie de l’acteur qu’il soit individuel ou collectif, public ou privé.

description: BackgroundEarly defibrillation to a cardiac arrest (CA) patient in a shockable rhythm (ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia) is key to improving the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and a successful patient outcome. Time to first shock is the time from when the patient in CA starts presenting with a shockable rhythm to when the first defibrillation is delivered. This study aimed to audit Hamad Medical Corporation Ambulance Service (HMCAS) data with respect to time to defibrillation to out-of-hospital CA patients.MethodsThis retrospective chart review resulted in 193 medical and trauma cases being found during the period 01/01/2022 to 31/12/2022. Time to first shock included initial rhythm assessment with a patient in CA or witnessed CA with a shockable rhythm. Initial rhythm assessment was identified when HMCAS paramedics placed the defibrillation pads on a patient in CA for the first time and the presenting rhythm was shockable. Witnessed CA with a shockable rhythm was identified when the patient went into CA with a shockable rhythm during care.ResultsThe fastest time to first defibrillation was 11 seconds (sec) and the slowest time was 336 sec. The mean time was 21.91 sec with a standard deviation of 30.41 sec. 187 (97%) patients who presented with CA and shockable rhythms for first defibrillation were medical patients (Figure 1). All patients presented with ventricular fibrillation. Patients with medical CA and shockable rhythms for first defibrillation presented with chest pains or cardiac related illnesses (bradycardia, dizziness, hypotension, STEMI, etc.). 177 (91.71%) of the patients presenting with CA and shockable rhythms underwent first defibrillation within the 90 sec benchmark time and 16 (8.29%) were outside of the benchmark time (Figure 2).ConclusionReviewing time to first shock is essential in improving quality patient care. ROSC to hospital discharge is an area of future focus.

Our second main theorem generalizes and improves all previous results for meromorphic mappings with moving hypersurfaces, in particular for meromorphic mappings and families of moving hypersurfaces in subgeneral position. The method of our proof is different from that of previous authors used for the case of moving hypersurfaces.

description: Le projet d’installation d’un centre d’enfouissement des déchets nucléaires à Bure, un petit village dans l’est de la France situé entre les départements de la Meuse et de la Haute Marne, est un cas exemplaire de « fabrication » d’un territoire. C’est dans la confrontation entre les promoteurs et les opposants à ce projet que ce territoire se « fabrique » en tant que territoire du nucléaire : pour les uns, ce territoire est un instrument c’est-à-dire un objet à utiliser pour enfouir des déchets nucléaires ; pour les autres, il est le lieu de référence qui les lie quasi naturellement à ceux qui sont - comme eux - menacés par la nucléarisation. Le territoire peut, enfin, être l’objet à défendre contre des forces étrangères et hétéronomes qui imposent au territoire leurs lois de l’extérieur.

RESCQ: Realtime Scheduling for Continuous Angle Quantum Error Correction Architectures

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: In order to realize large scale quantum error correction (QEC), resource states, such as $|T\rangle$, must be prepared which is expensive in both space and time. In order to circumvent this problem, alternatives have been proposed, such as the production of continuous angle rotation states \cite{akahoshi2023partially, choi2023fault, toshio2024practicalquantumadvantagepartially}. However, the production of these states is non-deterministic and may require multiple repetitions to succeed. The original proposals suggest architectures which do not account for realtime (or dynamic) management of resources to minimize total execution time. Without a realtime scheduler, a statically generated schedule will be unnecessarily expensive. We propose RESCQ (pronounced rescue), a realtime scheduler for programs compiled onto these continuous angle systems. Our scheme actively minimizes total cycle count by on-demand redistribution of resources based on expected production rates. Depending on the underlying hardware, this can cause excessive classical control overhead. We further address this by dynamically selecting the frequency of our recomputation. RESCQ improves over baseline proposals by an average of $2\times$ in cycle count.

description: BackgroundThe Moderna COVID-19 vaccine was approved in December 2020 after it was proven safe and highly effective in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 infection. Later, several cases reported the incidence of thrombosis and thrombocytopenia after the vaccine, which raised some concerns about its safety on the long-term. We aimed to report a case of a patient who developed extensive pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after 18 days of receiving the second dose of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.Case presentationA 32-years old Bangladeshi male, not known to have chronic illness, presented to the hospital with productive cough, subjective fever, excessive sweating, and occasional hemoptysis for 18 days, which all started 1 day after receiving his second dose of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Upon presentation, he was critically ill, hypoxic, tachypneic, and tachycardiac. Given the history of recent vaccination, with the presenting symptoms and elevated D-dimer level of 4.59 mg/L, pulmonary embolism was suspected, so urgent computed tomography pulmonary angiogram was done and indicated acute PE (Figure1). Furthermore, lower limb ultrasound doppler showed findings suggestive of acute DVT; though, serial complete blood counts showed no evidence of thrombocytopenia neither at presentation nor after that.DiscussionVaccine-induced thrombosis and thrombocytopenia have been reported previously in healthy individuals after receiving adenovirus-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. They were mostly occurring 5 to 30 days after vaccine administration. A previous case report described thrombosis and thrombocytopenia that developed after m-RNA vaccine (Moderna); however, our case reported thrombosis without thrombocytopenia after Moderna COVID-19 vaccination. Generally, it is difficult to establish a direct association between this serious thrombotic event and exposure to the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine from few case reports among millions of vaccine doses administered globally.ConclusionThis case described the possible link between Moderna vaccine and venous thromboembolism; yet further evidence is needed to confirm this association.

description: The aim of this paper is to analyze, describe and evaluate the different spatial interpolation techniques using GIS. Such as inverse distance weighting (IDW) and radial base function (RBF), which are deterministic methods, and two probabilistic methods, ordinary kriging (OK) and universal kriging (UK), they have been applied to 25 rainfall stations in the catchment area of Oued Oum Er-Rabia, located in the center of Morocco. Analyses of these methods showed that the UK and OK methods were more optimal than the IDW and RBF deterministic methods, and that the UK method had better results than the OK method. Also the RBF method has better results than the IDW methods (UK> OK> IDW> RBF); the UK, OK, IDW and RBF methods have results 96.0815, 96.9056, 100.1564 and 100.489 % respectively for RMSE, and increased results for the coefficient of determination (R2 value).

description: Aggregators have emerged as crucial tools for the coordination of distributed, controllable loads. To be used effectively, an aggregator must be able to communicate the available flexibility of the loads they control, as known as the aggregate flexibility to a system operator. However, most of existing aggregate flexibility measures often are slow-timescale estimations and much less attention has been paid to real-time coordination between an aggregator and an operator. In this paper, we consider solving an online optimization in a closed-loop system and present a design of real-time aggregate flexibility feedback, termed the maximum entropy feedback (MEF). In addition to deriving analytic properties of the MEF, combining learning and control, we show that it can be approximated using reinforcement learning and used as a penalty term in a novel control algorithm -- the penalized predictive control (PPC), which modifies vanilla model predictive control (MPC). The benefits of our scheme are (1). Efficient Communication. An operator running PPC does not need to know the exact states and constraints of the loads, but only the MEF. (2). Fast Computation. The PPC often has much less number of variables than an MPC formulation. (3). Lower Costs. We show that under certain regularity assumptions, the PPC is optimal. We illustrate the efficacy of the PPC using a dataset from an adaptive electric vehicle charging network and show that PPC outperforms classical MPC.

description: The origins of climate change have an increasingly important impact on the management of water resources on a local or global scale. This issue is particularly crucial in arid areas and oases, which are among the most immediately affected in Morocco. The study area is part of the oases eastern High Atlas, extending from the southeastern foothills of the Atlas Mountains to the western edge of the Sahara Desert. The High Atlas highlands receive most of the rainfall and represent the regional recharge area. The geology of the basin consists mainly of jurassic and cretaceous formations. The structure of the basin is strongly affected by the atlasian tectonics. This results in large successive synclines separated by major W-E faults. The objective of this study is to understand the hydrodynamic behavior in the face of meteorological phenomena of Bouanane watershed, the data processing is based on the digital terrain model (DTM) that have been able to define the main characteristic parameters of the basin and trace the watershed boundary and the state of evolution of the watershed by contribution of hypsometry.

description: The aeronautics sector is regarded as an important contributor to climate change, accounting for around 12 % of CO2 emissions in the transportation sector. Besides emissions from the use-phase, additional impacts come from aircraft manufacturing, the end-of-life and recycling. The complexity of aircraft systems and the lack of public data have prevented analysis of aggregated contributions of the value chain to key environmental problems, although this analysis could provide valuable insights helping to reduce environmental impacts. Fraunhofer has developed a more complete assessment method to quantify the environmental footprint of industrial areas, such as the aeronautics manufacturing sector. The mapping performed by our partners builds on environmental databases and available market data representing 84 % of aircraft sector sales in 2017.

Fast near-surface imaging using Rayleigh wave ellipticities and velocities from three-component ambient noise beamforming

description: Ambient seismic noise techniques are emerging as a complimentary tool to active seismic surveys for imaging subsurface velocities. However, questions about uncertainties and best practices of different processing schemes remain. Most often beamforming or cross-correlation techniques are only applied to the vertical component. In studies of ambient-noise surface waves, it is assumed that only the Rayleigh wave is sampled since the Love wave is not polarized in the vertical direction. Recently, horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios (HVSR) have been integrated into the analysis of surface wave dispersion curves to better constrain the depths and velocities of shallow structures. In this context, the HVSR curves are used to estimate the Rayleigh ellipticity. Using three-component surface wave beamforming (3CFK) provides the advantage of obtaining the polarization, and hence the wave type, of recorded waves in addition to the wave velocity over a frequency range. Thus, Rayleigh and Love waves can be identified and distinguished from body waves resulting in more accurate dispersion curves. Furthermore, from the polarization parameters, the ellipticity of the Rayleigh wave may be recovered at the same frequency resolution as the Rayleigh wave phase velocities. Thus, the frequency at which the polarization of Rayleigh wave changes from vertical to horizontal can be directly determined. This frequency is related with the commonly observed phenomenon of intersecting Rayleigh modes in dispersion curves. Determination of this so-called osculation frequency helps distinguish the fundamental and higher-mode Rayleigh waves. In this study, a synthetic three-component realistic ambient noise wavefield has been created and the application of HVSR and 3CFK has been investigated. Uncertainties of both methods are compared with the true velocities and depths. It can be shown that the depth of the first large impedance contrast can be calculated using the osculation frequency retrieved from Rayleigh ellipticity curves and Rayleigh velocities at frequencies smaller than the osculation frequency. This method has less deviations from the true depth than the typical relation using the peak frequency of HVSR curves and a quarter of the average shear velocity above the impedance contrast. 3CFK and HVSR are applied to field data from Weisweiler, Germany, to demonstrate the applicability of the method. In Weisweiler, 15 three-component stations were recording the ambient noise wavefield for 10 days in June 2021. The stations covered a total aperture of about 200 m. The methodology presented here is especially suited for large three-component nodal networks. The depth of the first large impedance contrast, in dependence of the array geometry, may be mapped fast and efficiently without the need for costly inversion processes, a priori assumptions or additional information from wells.

description: BackgroundDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, a series of spikes in COVID-19 cases affected Qatar, increasing efforts to track, isolate, and test close contacts of a confirmed positive case. Consequently, burnout among healthcare workers has been reported. This study examined the degree of burnout among nurses working in the Track and Trace swabbing field teams of the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) in Qatar, which was responsible for swabbing close contacts of COVID-19 cases in their home and workplace.
MethodsA descriptive correlational study was conducted to determine the perceived degree of burnout among the nurse participants in terms of Emotional Exhaustion (EE), Depersonalization (DEP), and Personal Accomplishment (PA) using the Maslach Burnout Inventory - Health Services Survey tool. In addition, the demographic profile was also assessed in a standard survey questionnaire.
ResultsOf the 101 nurses, the majority were females (68%) and 74% were from the 31 to 40-year-old age group. The majority were Filipino and Indian nationals, had over 10 years of professional experience, and had been in the swabbing team for more than eleven months (Table1). Only low-to-moderate levels of burnout were reported among the study participants. Most participants experienced low levels of emotional exhaustion (n=81%, x=12.8, SD=9.25) and depersonalization (n=48%, x=5.56, SD=4.64) and moderate levels of personal accomplishment (n=51%, x=38.01, SD=7.26) (Table2).ConclusionStudy result suggests that the perceived level of stress experienced by the nurses was manageable. Due to the unpredictability of the COVID-19 situation, it is crucial to conduct regular assessments to prevent burnout from escalating. To manage burnout among nurses in the swabbing team, it is recommended to hold periodic evaluation and debriefing sessions.

description: We present new scaling relations for the isotropic phase-space distribution functions (DFs) and energy distributions of simulated dark matter haloes. These relations are inspired by those for the singular isothermal sphere with density profile $ρ(r)\propto r^{-2}$, for which the DF satisfies $f(E) \propto r_{\max}^{-2}(E)$ and the energy distribution satisfies $dM/dE \propto r_{\max}(E)$, with $r_{\max}(E)$ being the radius where the gravitational potential equals energy $E$. For the simulated haloes, we find $f(E)\propto r_{\max}^{-2.08}(E)$ and $dM/dE \propto r_{\max}(E)$ across broad energy ranges. In addition, the proportionality coefficients depend on the gravitational constant and the parameters of the best-fit Navarro-Frenk-White density profile. These scaling relations are satisfied by haloes over a wide mass range and provide an efficient method to approximate their DFs and energy distributions. Understanding the origin of these relations may shed more light on halo formation.

description: University forest parks can play a major role in conserving wood biodiversity. However, this woody biodiversity is still poorly understood. The objective of this study is to study plant biodiversity of the Faculty of Agronomy of the Abdou Moumouni University of Niamey (UAM) through the quantification of wealth, the specific composition and description of the population demographic structure of the settlement. The forest inventory was carried out on ten (10) 2500 m2 squares following a radiary transect. Diversity indices (Shannon, Piedlou and specific wealth), systematic composition (number of genders and families) were used for woody floristic analysis. The density, the distribution of woody according to the classes of diameter and height, the potential for regeneration were analyzed to assess the structure. Plenty-dominance character to appreciate the phytosociology of the stand. The study identified 1110 individuals representing 36 species belonging to 27 genee with 18 families. The Fabaceae (25%) is the most dominant family (Tamarindus indica L., Parkia biglobosa (Jacq) R. Br. ex G. Don., Acacia Senegal (L) Willd, Bauhinia rufescence Lam, Faidherbia albida (Del.) A. Chev., Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC) in spaces of the Faculty of Agronomy of the University of Niamey with a dominance of Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DCat more than 50%. The average density of woody plants is 444 ind/ha. Dominated by Calotropis procera (Ait.) Ait.f., (54 ind/ha) and Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC (224 ind/ha). Native species dominate the flora of the site. The structure is marked by the dominance of shrubs marked by Calotropis procera (Ait.) Ait.f., and Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DCreflecting a rejuvenation of the woody stand. However, anthropogenic pressures and the absence of a policy for managing the faculty's spaces may be at the root of the reduction of this floristic diversity in the medium to long term. This is why actions (closure, monitoring) must be taken to safeguard this plant biodiversity.

description: © 2018 Yoga is an embodying activity that promotes body awareness, body connection, body responsiveness, and appreciation of body functionality, and it therefore may be a beneficial school-based intervention for children's body image. The present study examined the impact of a 4-week yoga intervention on pre-adolescent girls’ and boys’ body image (body appreciation, body esteem, and body surveillance) and mood (positive and negative affect) 1-week post-intervention and at 6-week follow-up. British children (N = 344; 54.4% female) aged 9–11 years were recruited from four schools, two of which were randomly assigned to the yoga intervention and two to a physical education control condition. Overall, girls reported greater body image concern and negative mood than boys. Unexpectedly, both groups reported increased body appreciation, body esteem, and positive mood, and decreased body surveillance and negative affect from baseline to post-intervention and/or follow-up. Both girls and boys in the yoga intervention evaluated the sessions very favourably; the majority desired to participate in more lessons. Potential explanations for these findings are discussed.

description: We study the ground-state phase diagram of an unfrustrated antiferromagnetic Ising chain with longitudinal and transverse fields in the full range of interactions: from all-to-all to nearest-neighbors. First, we solve the model analytically in the strong long-range regime, confirming in the process that a mean-field treatment is exact for this model. We compute the order parameter and the correlations and show that the model exhibits a tricritical point where the phase transition changes from first to second order. This is in contrast with the nearest-neighbor limit where the phase transition is known to be second order. To understand how the order of the phase transition changes from one limit to the other, we tackle the analytically-intractable interaction ranges numerically, using a variational quantum Monte Carlo method with a neural-network-based ansatz, the visual transformer. We show how the first-order phase transition shrinks with decreasing interaction range and establish approximate boundaries in the interaction range for which the first-order phase transition is present. Finally, we establish that the key ingredient to stabilize a first-order phase transition and a tricritical point is the presence of ferromagnetic interactions between spins of the same sublattice on top of antiferromagnetic interactions between spins of different sublattices. Tunable-range unfrustrated antiferromagnetic interactions are just one way to implement such staggered interactions.

description: The main objective of this article is to highlight the importance of the water patrimony in the assessment of sources, their irrigated areas, and to determine their contribution to the organization of space and society, while highlighting the most important developmental issues. In this regard, we have adopted a methodology based on fieldwork, inventory, and prospection of all the hydraulic patrimony and practices adopted by the local population in the management of water resources, as well as some research references on patrimony and development. The results of this article are summarized as follows: first, the mountains of the central Rif are rich and varied by elements of hydraulic patrimony; second, the hydraulic patrimony in the region suffers from deterioration and neglect. Finally, this patrimony could be a prime driver for development in the region.

description: The Lalanne-Kreweras involution is an involution on the set of Dyck paths which combinatorially exhibits the symmetry of the number of valleys and major index statistics. We define piecewise-linear and birational extensions of the Lalanne-Kreweras involution. Actually, we show that the Lalanne-Kreweras involution is a special case of a more general operator, called rowvacuation, which acts on the antichains of any graded poset. Rowvacuation, like the closely related and more studied rowmotion operator, is a composition of toggles. We obtain the piecewise-linear and birational lifts of the Lalanne-Kreweras involution by using the piecewise-linear and birational toggles of Einstein and Propp. We show that the symmetry properties of the Lalanne-Kreweras involution extend to these piecewise-linear and birational lifts.

description: Like other developing countries, malnutrition among children is a major public health problem in Niger. It is the only country in West Africa where the figures for different forms of malnutrition have been fluctuating since 2005. This happens particularly from the age of 6 months, a period of complementary feeding. Supplementary food in Niger very often consists of porridge prepared from local cereal flours. The present work aims to conduct an inventory and nutritional analysis of porridge used as supplementary food among children aged 6 to 24 months in the urban community of Niamey. All five communes of Niamey were involved in the study. The 24-hour recall method was used to obtain the porridges consumed by the children. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive survey in five Integrated Health Centers (CSIs). A total of 196 women were surveyed and 15 types of porridge were listed. Of the 15 types of porridge listed, 6 were made from industrial flours of known composition. The 9 others, which are traditional local porridges, were reconstituted and aliquots were analyzed from a nutritional point of view in the laboratory. The contents of water, total ash, lipids, carbohydrates and proteins were determined. The results showed an average dry matter concentration of 16.20 ± 0.25%. The average contents of lipids; total ash and protein are respectively 2.84 ± 0.33 g/100g DM; 1.5 ± 0.30% g/100g DM and 11.77 ± 1.45 g/100g DM. The average carbohydrate content of the slurries, after calculation, is 83.86%. The average energy density is 66.34 kcal/100 g.

description: Seaweeds are abundant in nature; their productivity is higher than those of terrestrial systems. They proliferate and are regenerative, edible, and environmentally friendly. Red algae are rich in active substances used as anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-tumor activities. Thus, they are a valuable source of new medicinal and therapeutic agents. They can also be an asset in functional foods and diets.This narrative review highlights a new perspective on the potential pharmaceutical applications of the bioactive compounds extracted from red algae, which can be considered as a promising ingredient for use in food and medicine. The pharmaceutical industry could benefit from red seaweeds as a source of treatment for several diseases since their pharmaceutical benefits are much more interesting than the nutritional benefits alone.
