description: Decoloniality has become a buzzword in the Canadian international development sector. The term intends to draw continuities between Canada's colonial past and present and draws attention to the way that the practice of international development perpetuates colonial power structures, specifically what Pailey (2020) has called the “White gaze of development.” When racialized actors in a white settler state like Canada are involved in international development initiatives in their countries of ethnic origin, they are often met with a binary, racist discourse among the broader Canadian community that either praises them as useful "tools" of Canadian foreign policy or denigrates their activities as a posing a potential "risk" to national interests. As a development actor on the world stage that sees itself as “cultural mosaic,” Canadians and the Canadian government should consider the potential for its diaspora to contribute to its foreign policies and strategies. Diasporic development can help with innovation in the development industry by expanding ideas about development and how it can be done. Reductionist understandings about diasporic transnationalism limit these possibilities, which underline the imperative to better understand diasporic identity and transnationalism. Using a Bourdieusian (1986) field analysis, Bhabha's notions of (1994) hybridity and liminality, as well as Yuval-Davis' (2006) conceptualization of belonging, this research explores the negotiations of belonging among the second-generation Tamil diaspora in Canada as they engage in development initiatives focused on communities in Sri Lanka. Through in-depth interviews with 34 participants, this research finds that the diaspora has day-to-day interactions in a number of sites or "micro-fields" which inform their engagement in international development initiatives that are focused on communities in Sri Lanka, and that their negotiations of belonging and otherness are salient in their development experiences. Members of the diaspora also interrogate coloniality through their hybridity and subsequent positioning in a liminal space. They reject colonial discourse by constructing belonging to the communities at the development sites and valuing localization. However, their interrogation of power structures across different fields as well as their multiple subject positions also contribute to their reflexivity about the treatment of Indigenous peoples in Turtle Island/Canada.

description: In recent years, several industry groups and the National Commission on Food Marketing have questioned the accuracy of price spreads for beef and pork, as published in this situation report. Their main question was whether weekend specials were fully considered in the computation of average retail prices. Computations included some of the effect of specials, but did not fully allow for the extra volumes sold at special prices. As a result of a complete review of all procedures, a considerable number of revisions have been made to more accurately compute price spreads for beef and pork. These include the effect of price specials, an adjustment for retail shrink, use of carlot wholesale prices, and changes in the computation of byproduct values. Some of these revisions tend to narrow the estimated spreads while others tend to widen them. This article is in conjunction with publication of the revised series. The price spread series for both beef and pork have been revised back to 1949. The revised series, in their entirety, on a quarterly basis will be published in a bulletin in the near future.

description: A database of 300 compounds was virtually screened and docked against Bcl-2 protein; the stability of the best-formed complex was evaluated through Molecular dynamics, the top ten compounds with the best in-silico complexation affinities were synthesized, and their In-vitro cytotoxic activity was examined. Thiazolidinone (4e) and isoxazoline (4a-d) were evaluated in-silico. For further evaluation and examination, we designed and synthesized from naturally occurring (R)-carvone and characterized it via spectroscopic analysis, as well as tested for their anticancer activities towards human cancer cell lines such as HT-1080 (fibrosarcome cancer), MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 (breast cancer) and A-549 (lung cancer) by using MTT method with Doxorubicin as standard drug. Among them, compound 4d showed the most promising anticancer activity against HT-1080, A-549, MCF-7, and MDA-MB-231 cell lines with IC50 values of 15.59 ± 3.21 µM; 18.32 ± 2.73 µM; 17.28 ± 0.33 µM and 19.27 ± 2.73 µM respectively.

description: Management of lignocellulosic wastes in and around the municipality area requires special consideration. Continuous deposition of these wastes to the nearby areas led to gradual deterioration of the environment. The objective of this study was to produce cellulase from the bacteria isolated from the unexplored rainforest of NE-India for lignocellulosic waste hydrolysis. Based on carboxymethyl cellulose utilization and the congo red test, Novosphingobium sp. Cm1 was found to be the most promising strain out of 114 bacterial isolates and the strain was selected for further study. The optimization of the fermentative conditions for maximum enzyme activity was carried out using one factor-at-a-time strategy and the optimum pH, temperature and incubation time was recorded as pH 5, 37 °C and 96 h respectively. The maximum β–1,4–endoglucanase activity was observed with 1.5% CMC (5.1 ± 0.05 U/mL) and 0.25% yeast extract (7.6 ± 0.72 U/mL). The bacterial waste hydrolysis ability was investigated using three wastes where vegetable waste showed maximum activity of 3.4 ± 0.48 U/mL. Bacterial interaction and waste utilization were verified using Scanning Electron Microscope and Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. The present study confirmed the promising ability of Novosphingobium sp. to waste hydrolysis. Further investigations may lead to new possibilities for low-cost enzyme production that will help to meet the rising cellulase demand.

description: Digital twins have been recognized as a powerful tool for whole-life management of road infrastructure in an intelligent, sustainable, and resilient manner. On the way forward, however, the road infrastructure stakeholders are still faced with the challenge regarding how to ensure the digital twins work trustily. An untrustworthy digital twin would produce inaccurate information and decision-making, resulting in high financial costs, inefficient road management, and safety concerns. To address this challenge, this paper analyzes the current state of the digital twin paradigm and classifies the potential factors that will impact the trustworthiness of digital twins. The analysis and classification take into consideration the functionality layers of digital twins and the operational requirements in road infrastructure management. Accordingly, the practical approaches that can be adopted to resolve the identified trustworthiness issues are thoroughly reviewed and systematically integrated into a framework designed to ensure the appropriate and trustworthy use of a road digital twin. Specifically, the developed trustworthy framework is underpinned by three key pillars: precision, transparency, and cybersecurity. It is strongly envisioned that this developed framework will serve as valuable guidance for the design and construction of robust and trustworthy digital twins, helping mitigate risks and enhance the overall effectiveness of road infrastructure management.

description: Uracil is a common DNA lesion which is recognized and removed by uracil DNA-glycosylase (UDG) as a part of the base excision repair pathway. Excision proceeds by base flipping, and UDG efficiency is thought to depend on the ease of deformability of the bases neighboring the lesion. We used molecular dynamics simulations to assess the flexibility of a large library of dsDNA strands, containing all tetranucleotide motifs with U:A, U:G, T:A or C:G base pairs. Our study demonstrates that uracil damaged DNA largely follows trends in flexibility of undamaged DNA. Measured bending persistence lengths, groove widths, step parameters and base flipping propensities demonstrate that uracil increases the flexibility of DNA, and that U:G base paired strands are more flexible than U:A strands. Certain sequence contexts are more deformable than others, with a key role for the 3′ base next to uracil. Flexibilities are large when this base is an A or G, and repressed for a C or T. A 5′ T adjacent to the uracil strongly promotes flexibility, but other 5′ bases are less influential. DNA bending is correlated to step deformations and base flipping, and bending aids flipping. Our study implies that the link between substrate flexibility and UDG efficiency is widely valid, helps explain why UDG prefers to bind U:G base paired strands, and suggests that the DNA bending angle of the UDG-substrate complex is optimal for base flipping.

description: Enterococcus sp. has been used as starters in food fermentation due to their probiotic and antimicrobial properties in food biopreservation. The antimicrobial properties were mainly contributed by the bacteriocin called enterocin. Hence, the availability of a cost-effective pilot-scale cultivation conditions is a necessity for the production of probiotic bacteria. This study aims to investigate optimization of medium composition using sugarcane molasses as a carbon source using response surface methodology and the potential use of fed-batch cultivation for improvement of the cell viability of Enterococcus faecium CW3801 for the use as a probiotic starter culture. Two feeding strategies (ramp and constant) were applied in fed-batch cultivation for enhancement of the production of E. faecium in a 2-L stirred tank bioreactor using the optimized medium and scaled up to a 15-L bioreactor. Optimized fermentation medium which comprised of 10% (v/v) of molasses and 10 g/L of yeast extract at pH 7 yielded maximum cell viability of 29.4 × 1011 CFU/mL with 3900 AU/mL of bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS) activity. In the fed-batch, the cell viability (8.4 × 1013) and dry cell weight (6.34 g/L) reached the highest in optimized medium when the ramp (stepwise) feeding was applied. In scaling up to 15-L bioreactor, the growth of E. faecium was achieved at 2.3 × 1013 CFU/mL with the dry cell weight of 5.28 g/L under the same condition. The BLIS in 15-L bioreactor was 6% higher than the 2-L bioreactor. This study demonstrated that molasses and yeast extract are good feedstock for the growth of E. faecium. The E. faecium, a non-vancomycin resistant enterococcus (VRE) was successfully produced by a fed-batch cultivation approach and scaled up to a 15-L bioreactor using a ramp feeding strategy. Results from this study revealed that the fed-batch cultivation using molasses-based medium has industrial potential for the production of probiotics.

description: Since 2019 the SARS-CoV-2 and its variants caused COVID-19, such incidents brought the world in pandemic situation. This happened due to furious mutations in SARS-CoV-2, in which some variants had high transmissibility and infective, this led the virus emerged as virulent and worsened the COVID-19 situation. Among the variants, P323L is one of the important mutants of RdRp in SARS-CoV-2. To inhibit the erroneous function of this mutated RdRp, we have screened 943 molecules against the P323L mutated RdRp with the criteria that the molecules with 90% similar to the structure of remdesivir (control drug) resulted nine molecules. Further, these molecules were evaluated by induced fit docking (IFD) identified two molecules (M2 & M4) which are forming strong intermolecular interactions with the key residues of mutated RdRp and has high binding affinity. Docking score of the M2 and M4 molecules with mutated RdRp are −9.24 and −11.87 kcal/mol, respectively. Further, to understand the intermolecular interactions, conformational stability, the molecular dynamics simulation and binding free energy calculations were performed. The binding free energy values of M2 and M4 molecules with the P323L mutated RdRp complexes are −81.60 and −83.07 kcal/mol, respectively. The results of this in silico study confirm that M4 is a potential molecule; hence, it may be considered as the potential inhibitor of P323L mutated RdRp to treat COVID-19 after clinical investigation.

description: The new coronavirus variant (SARS-CoV-2) and Zika virus are two world-wide health pandemics. Along history, natural products-based drugs have always crucially recognized as a main source of valuable medications. Considering the SARS-CoV-2 and Zika main proteases (Mpro) as the re-production key element of the viral cycle and its main target, herein we report an intensive computer-aided virtual screening for a focused list of 39 marine lamellarins pyrrole alkaloids, against SARS-CoV-2 and Zika main proteases (Mpro) using a set of combined modern computational methodologies including molecular docking (MDock), molecule dynamic simulations (MDS) and structure-activity relationships (SARs) as well. Indeed, the molecular docking studies had revealed four promising marine alkaloids including [lamellarin H (14)/K (17)] and [lamellarin S (26)/Z (39)], according to their notable ligand-protein energy scores and relevant binding affinities with the SARS-CoV-2 and Zika (Mpro) pocket residues, respectively. Consequentially, these four chemical hits were further examined thermodynamically though investigating their MD simulations at 100 ns, where they showed prominent stability within the accommodated (Mpro) pockets. Moreover, in-deep SARs studies suggested the crucial roles of the rigid fused polycyclic ring system, particularly aromatic A- and F- rings, position of the phenolic -OH and δ-lactone functionalities as essential structural and pharmacophoric features. Finally, these four promising lamellarins alkaloids were investigated for their in-silico ADME using the SWISS ADME platform, where they displayed appropriated drug-likeness properties. Such motivating outcomes are greatly recommending further in vitro/vivo examinations regarding those lamellarins pyrrole alkaloids (LPAs). Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: The form and function of the built environment in cities is a fundamental determinant of health. However, in many cities, urban space is given disproportionately to cars rather than to health-promoting uses such as recreation, socialization, and sustainable transportation. This review investigated efforts in recent decades to reclaim urban space from cars in Western Europe and North America. Such efforts are described as open streets interventions. This review was conducted over several months using the databases Scopus, Proquest, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Columbia University’s Online Library (CLIO). It aimed to uncover how historical and political factors influence the development and implementation of open streets interventions and the impacts of these interventions on urban health. Findings suggest that political, economic, and cultural factors of the local context are important to successful and equitable implementation of open streets interventions, and that open streets interventions have the potential to produce far-reaching benefits to urban health through promoting physical activity and the creation of social spaces. Four thematic areas emerged: (1) health and economic outcomes, (2) bottom-up versus top-down processes and tactical urbanism, (3) ripple effects and equity, and (4) placemaking. Ultimately, analysis of these themes suggests that drawing inspiration from historical perspectives and paradigms of street use is beneficial to guiding future open streets interventions and developing health-promoting and socially-cohesive urban neighborhoods. Future research around specific health impacts of open streets interventions and public perception of streets and urban space would help to better inform the extent to which open streets interventions improve population health, and how they contribute to changing the paradigm on urban street use in Western Europe and North America.

description: Microbial L-asparaginases are aminohydrolases that hydrolyze L-asparagine to L-aspartate. They are used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia and Hodgkin’s lymphomas and in food industries. Increasing demand for L-ASNases is therefore needed. In the current study, the recombinant L-ASNase from Dickeya chrysanthemi (DcL-ASNase) was cloned into pET28a (+) expression vector and expressed in Escherichia coli as a 6His-tagged fusion protein and purified using Ni2+ chelated Sepharose chromatography resin, yielding a highly purified enzyme. Kinetics analysis allowed the determination of its substrate specificity and the physicochemical parameters that affect enzyme activity. The enzyme showed operational stability at 37 °C and 45 °C. The immunogenicity of the purified DcL-ASNase was evaluated by measuring the IgG and IgM levels in rats after injection. The cytotoxicity DcL-ASNase in selected cancer cell lines and peripheral blood monocytes was determined. The results showed that the enzyme induces pleiotropic effects, including significant morphological changes and the formation of apoptotic bodies. No cytotoxic effects were observed in peripheral blood monocytes at the same concentrations. In addition, gene expression analysis by RT-PCR of apoptotic biomarkers (Bax, survivin, and Ki-67) allowed the study of the apoptotic mechanism induced by DcL-ASNase on THP-1 cells.
