Financing urban land development in underdeveloped small cities in western China: The role of earmarked funds

Previous studies suggest that market forces and the strategic behavior of local governments regarding land development jointly contribute to rapid urban expansion in China. In underdeveloped small cities in Western China, the market is weak, and local governments lack the conditions required to promote land-centered urbanization. Surprisingly, these cities have experienced an expansion of urban space faster than the national average. This study presents a significant funding model of urban land development within the framework of the project system. Within this model, central and provincial governments are key providers of land development funds. Local governments design, apply for, package, and implement land development projects. Private developers cooperate with local governments rather than functioning as real initiators of and investors in land development projects. The findings provide new and supplementary evidence about how rapid urban expansion occurs in China, particularly in underdeveloped areas.

THE ATTRACTIONS OF GUAR KEPAH ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE, PENANG, MALAYSIA AS AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE TOURISM SITE

The Guar Kepah archaeological site in Penang, Malaysia, has been the focus of archaeological re search since 1860, revealing important insights into the prehistoric maritime community that inhabited the area approximately 5,000 years ago. Excavations at the site have revealed human skeletons, teeth, stone tools, and pottery, providing evidence of the community's burial traditions and material culture. The primary data collected from these excavations has facilitated the development of the site's tourism sector, with plans underway to establish the Guar Kepah Archaeological Center (GKAC). This study emphasises the importance of utilising primary data to create compelling narratives that contribute to the development of archaeological heritage tour packages. The Guar Kepah site serves as a case study for the development of archaeotourism, highlighting the need for a balance between site preservation and providing authentic experience to cultural tourists. The findings from this site have the potential to shed light on human relations with aquatic habitats, the importance of the mari ne environment in human evolution and ecology, island colonisation, and the establishment of maritime trade networks. The development of the Guar Kepah site as an archaeological heritage tourism location in northern Peninsular Malaysia demonstrates the commitment of the government and stakeholders to promoting sustainable heritage tourism in the region.

Conclusion: The findings of this study will inform a modified OHAT (M-OHAT), as well as future study phases regarding training and implementation strategies. It is expected that the M-OHAT will have enhanced usability and relevance to RACFs, facilitating the identification of poor oral health and timely referral to dental treatment.

Development of cellulose-based self-healing hydrogel smart packaging for fish preservation and freshness indication

Biomass-based composite packaging materials loaded with functional fillers have good application prospects in food preservation and freshness detection. Self-healing hydrogel packaging films based on nanocellulose (CNF), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and ZIF-8 embedded with curcumin (Cur@ZIF-8) were developed in this study. The synthesis of Cur@ZIF-8 was demonstrated by characterization experiments. The addition of Cur@ZIF-8 enhanced the water vapor barrier property, tensile strength, and elongation at break of hydrogel films by 49.2 %, 193.5 %, and 172.9 %, respectively, and endowed them with excellent antimicrobial, antioxidant, and ammonia sensitivity. In packaging tests with fish, hydrogel films loaded with Cur@ZIF-8 inhibited spoilage and microbial growth to extend the shelf life of fish to 9 days, and the color change of hydrogel films allowed for real-time monitoring of fish freshness. This study provided a new solution for smart packaging materials with dual functions of preservation and freshness indication.

Optimising the review of electronic monitoring information for management of commercial fisheries

Electronic monitoring (EM) systems incorporating cameras and other devices can collect a broad range of data to support fisheries management. We reviewed the data collection capabilities of EM and considered approaches to increasing efficiency, including cost effectiveness, of EM review. EM can provide information on catch, effort, catch handling, bycatch mitigation, fishing gear and operational data, which are relevant for fisheries management including by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs). Methods to increase efficiency and decrease costs of EM review apply from the programme design phase, through data collection and review. At review, costs may be reduced by sampling imagery optimally to meet monitoring objectives. Considering RFMOs as users of EM-collected information, we applied EMoptim, an open-source simulation model developed in R that estimates the amount of EM review necessary to meet one or more user-specified monitoring objectives. EMoptim uses stratification to increase review efficiency and incorporates a function to explore review costs against the monitoring objectives set. We evaluated the amount of EM review needed to estimate catch with specified precision, using fishery data available from the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission. Model outputs show that EM review requirements increase as catch frequency decreases, dispersion of catch events increases, and when more precise catch estimates are required. Geographical stratification reduced the amount of review required for more commonly caught species and when catch events were focused in a limited area. Optimising review rates across multiple monitoring objectives was most effective for more commonly caught species. We highlight opportunities for future use and development of this prototype modelling package.

From traditional packaging to smart bio-packaging for food safety: a review

AbstractThe need to urgently find alternative plant-based biodegradable fibres is not just important, it is a pressing necessity. The severe environmental damage caused by plastic packaging materials demands immediate action. It is a responsibility that everybody should share to reduce the global plastic pollution rate and environmental footprint. Biodegradable films from natural and waste products have gained considerable consideration for their ability to guarantee optimal product conservation while avoiding any risk of contamination or intoxication. Therefore, this overview addresses recent developments in food packaging and the application of sensors to indicate possible packed food spoilage. The new role of food packaging was discussed widely, from traditional to bio-based, active and intelligent packaging. Until a few years ago, food packaging had the sole purpose of protecting food from external contamination. However, the barrier effect is no longer enough: the packaging should act directly on the food and the surrounding space. The interesting innovation that responds to this need is active and intelligent packaging, a market with solid growth in recent years. It allows the enhancement of food conservation and the detection of pathogens while maintaining good monitoring of the environment inside the package, continuously recording the food conditions. This more complete and interactive information is recorded thanks to special analytical devices: sensors. They can detect and transmit a message to the consumer about food quality, freshness and safety, thanks to the ability to record internal and external changes in the product’s environment. However, these devices are not free from limitations, such as costs and performance, which limit their wider use.

Unveiling the emerging trends of egg components-based biodegradable food packaging development: A comprehensive review.

Food packaging plays a crucial role in the food supply chain by aiding in food preservation and reducing food losses throughout the distribution process. The extensive, unregulated utilization, and waste mismanagement of food packaging materials made up of conventional petroleum-based plastics has led to a significant environmental crisis. Egg components-based food packaging has attracted considerable attention from the global packaging industry as a viable alternative to synthetic polymers due to its biodegradability, sustainability, and health-related benefits. This comprehensive review explores the composition and properties of egg components (eggshell, eggshell membrane, egg white, and egg yolk), and recent advancements in biodegradable packaging films derived from them. Additionally, it introduces the characteristics of these films and their applications in food, highlighting their biodegradability, sustainability, and suitable mechanical, barrier, thermal, optical, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties as substitutes for traditional synthetic polymers. The utilization of various egg components in the packaging industry is a safe, non-toxic, cost-effective, and economical approach. However, it was found that incorporating active compounds from natural sources into packaging films, as well as composite films composed of egg components combined with other biopolymers, resulted in superior properties, compared to single component films. Moreover, the application of novel technologies in film development has proven to be more effective than conventional methods. These innovative egg components-based packaging films can be optimized and commercialized for use as packaging materials for food products.

Grain yield performance of spring maize under different agroecological zones

Maize is an important cereal crop which ranks second in production after rice in Nepal with an increasing demand for livestock and poultry ration but declining in production. This experiment was conducted to screen top- and stable yielding maize hybrids in various agroecological zones of Nepal during the spring season. In this study, nine maize genotypes were evaluated across six environments in randomized complete block design with three replications. The additive main effect and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) ANOVA revealed that environment, genotype, and their interaction had a substantial effect on the grain yield and all five principal components (PCs) were significantly different (P < 0.0001). AMMI stability value revealed that genotypes Rampur composite and Kanchan 101 were the most stable genotypes in all environments. The specific adaptation of genotype as explained by Which-won-where model suggest that Godavari in environment E2, Rajkumar in E4 and E5, and Bisco gold 941 in E1, E3 and E6 were the winning genotypes. Furthermore, the mean-versus-stability model revealed that genotype Kanchan 101 had above average yield with greater stability. In addition, biplot analysis revealed that 78.32% of variation is explained by PC1 and 11.41% by PC2 of the interaction effect. The genotype ranking based on revealed that genotype Kanchan 101 was close to the ideal line and Sano ghogha was at the greatest distance. Conclusively, AMMI and genotype and genotype by environment interaction (GGE) model explicates that genotype Kanchan 101 has both the high yield and stability across all agroecological zones. In future research on multi-year trial with emphasis other agronomic traits to assess the stability and priorities for the development of package of practices for maximizing the grain yield is recommended.

Use of reporting templates for chest radiographs in a coronavirus disease 2019 context: measuring concordance of radiologists with three international templates.

Reporting templates for chest radiographs (CXRs) for patients presenting or being clinically managed for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)] has attracted advocacy from international radiology societies. We aim to explore the effectiveness and useability of three international templates through the concordance of, and between, radiologists reporting on the presence and severity of COVID-19 on CXRs. Seventy CXRs were obtained from a referral hospital, 50 from patients with COVID-19 (30 rated "classic" COVID-19 appearance and 20 "indeterminate") and 10 "normal" and 10 "alternative pathology" CXRs. The recruited radiologists were assigned to three test sets with the same CXRs but with different template orders. Each radiologist read their test set three times and assigned a classification to the CXR using the Royal Australian New Zealand College of Radiology (RANZCR), British Society of Thoracic Imaging (BSTI), and Modified COVID-19 Reporting and Data System (Dutch; mCO-RADS) templates. Inter-reader variability and intra-reader variability were measured using Fleiss' kappa coefficient. Twelve Australian radiologists participated. The BSTI template had the highest inter-reader agreement (0.46; "moderate" agreement), followed by RANZCR (0.45) and mCO-RADS (0.32). Concordance was driven by strong agreement in "normal" and "alternative" classifications and was lowest for "indeterminate." General consistency was observed across classifications and templates, with intra-reader variability ranging from "good" to "very good" for COVID-19 CXRs (0.61), "normal" CXRs (0.76), and "alternative" (0.68). Reporting templates may be useful in reducing variation among radiology reports, with intra-reader variability showing promise. Feasibility and implementation require a wider approach including referring and treating doctors plus the development of training packages for radiologists specific to the template being used.

Development and optimization of sustainable and functional food packaging using false banana (Enset) fiber and zinc-oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle-reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites: A case of Injera preservation

In a global context marked by food insecurity, it is essential for food science and packaging technology researchers and stakeholders to ensure the availability of safe and adaptable foods with minimal environmental impact. Achieving sustainability in food packaging requires multiple approaches, including the use of natural and biodegradable materials including cellulosic fibers. The current study aimed to develop and characterize and optimized an effective biocomposite food packaging/storing materials, specifically for a popular Ethiopian flatbread called injera, made from a grain called ‘Teff’ (Eragrostis tef). The proposed biocomposite food storage and packaging was designed by incorporating fiber-reinforcing materials, namely false banana, also called Enset fibers (EFs), and ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) into a polylactic acid (PLA) matrix. A central composite design (CCD) approach was used to evaluate the impact of the reinforcing Enset fibers (EFs) at 5 %, 15 %, and 25 % and ZnO NPs at 0 %, 5 %, and 10 % levels. The developed functional biocomposite packaging materials were tested and characterized for various properties, including mechanical strength, water activity, antifungal activity, and migration properties. The results showed that the inclusion of ZnO NPs improved the tensile strength, migration, and barrier properties, while the reinforcing fiber enhanced mechanical and migration properties but reduced barrier properties. The combined effect of the reinforcement fibers (EFs) and ZnO NPs led to further improvements in the mechanical strength and migration properties, though no interaction effect was observed on barrier properties. The optimal solution, consisting of 6.7 % ZnO nanoparticles and 6 % Enset fibers, resulted in a highly effective packaging and storage prototype that extended the freshness of the food for over eight days.

Thermo-pressed blend films of poly(lactic acid)/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) with polylimonene for sustainable active food packaging

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) blends provide sustainable packaging solutions renowned for their robustness and biodegradability. Herein, we used a commercial PLA/PBAT blend (Ecovio® - E) to develop films by thermo-pressing, incorporating polylimonene (PLM) and comparing them with limonene (LIM) at 5% and 10% additive concentrations. Remarkably, E/PLM10% film exhibited an 84.9% reduction in Staphylococcus aureus count and a 62% decrease in Aspergillus niger count, surpassing LIM and PLA/PBAT. Additionally, PLM substantially improved the antioxidant activity of the films, achieving more than 40% DPPH scavenging and providing light-blocking capability, with E/PLM5% virtually halting UV-A transmission. Mechanical assessments showed that, although higher PLM levels reduced tensile strength, E/PLM5% matched control performance. FT-IR analysis confirmed PLM presence without chemical alterations, and minimal changes in crystallinity were observed via DSC and XRD, while TGA confirmed the attractive thermal stability of the films. Expanding on these findings, we evaluated film efficacy in cherry tomato preservation, including unpackaged controls. E/PLM5%-packaged tomatoes exhibited superior visual quality and fungal inhibition, proving a promising option for active food packaging due to their antimicrobial effectiveness, antioxidant activity, and UV-light protection. Therefore, this study represents significant progress in advanced packaging development, providing prolonged food preservation, sustainability, and retained performance even when prepared in simulated industrial conditions.

Silkworm pupae protein-based film incorporated with Catharanthus roseus leaf extract-based nanoparticles enhanced the lipid stability and microbial quality of cheddar cheese

The study aimed to develop a silkworm pupae protein-based film for enhancing the lipid oxidative and microbial stability of cheddar cheese. The bioactive properties were imparted to the silkworm pupae protein-based film using an optimum level (2.0%) of Catharanthus roseus leaf extract-based nanoparticles (Cat-Ros-NPs) synthesised following a green method. The cheese samples were packaged within the treated film (T2, containing 2.0% Cat-Ros-NPs) and compared with control samples [control (cheese samples without any film), T0 (cheese samples within the films without any bioactive agent) and T1 {cheese samples within the films containing 2.0% C. roseus leaf extract (Cat-Ros-Ext)}] during 90 days trial (4±1 °C). The addition of bioactive agents (Cat-Ros-Ext or Cat-Ros-NPs) increased the thickness (µm) as well as density (g/ml) of the film, thereby decreasing the transmittance (%), solubility (%), moisture content (%), and water-vapour transmission rate (mg/mt2). Both the bioactive agents increased the redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) whereas decreased the brightness (L*) of the film. The films enhanced the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of the enclosed cheese samples during storage and the highest values were recorded for the samples packed within T2 films. The cheese samples packaged within T2 and T1 films showed significantly lower values for lipid oxidation and microbial counts. This positive effect of the films (T2 and T1) was also recorded on protein oxidation (total-carbonyl content) after day 30 and sensory quality after day 60. Our results indicate the successful use of silkworm pupae protein for the development of bioactive packaging for cheddar cheese.

The synergistic effect of polyphenols and polypeptides for plant-based bioplastic film – Enhanced UV resistance, antioxidant and antibacterial performance

The exceptional biodegradability and active biological functions of bio-based packaging materials have attracted increasing interest. In this study, a bioplastic film was developed by introducing simultaneously polyphenols (tea polyphenols, TPs) and peptides (nisin) into a soy protein isolate/sodium alginate (SPI/SA) based film-forming matrix. The research results revealed that the dynamic coordinated interaction between TPs and nisin enhanced mechanical properties, UV-resistance, and thermal stability of bioplastic films. Furthermore, the bioplastic film exhibited antibacterial activity and antioxidant properties. Significantly, biofilm growth of Staphylococcus aureus treated with TPs-5/Nisin-5 bioplastic film was inhibited by 91.12% compared to the blank group. The shelf life of beef with TPs-5/Nisin-5 bioplastic film was prolonged by 2 days because of the synergistic effect of TPs and nisin. Additionally, the bioplastic film biodegraded in the natural environment about 21 days. This environmentally friendly regeneration strategy and the integration of advantageous functions provided ideas for the development of active food packaging.

Multistoried woodlot based agroforestry system for improved resource utilization and incomes for farmer

Diversification of cropping pattern coupled with the development of suitable technology packages is crucial to meet the ever-increasing demand for diversified products and sustained farmers’ incomes. We evaluated different woodlot-based multistoried agroforestry systems for their effectiveness to mitigate the devastating effects of climate change by offering multifaceted benefits. Specifically, the present study aimed to assess the yield and probability of woodlot based multistoried agroforestry system with two vegetables, i.e., potato and brinjal during the period of 2019–2020. The vegetables were planted on the floor of the orchard where pineapple were planted in the same row with the trees. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The results revealed that the upper-storied woody plants and sole vegetables received 100 % Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) but incident light gradually decreased for brinjal and potato, which were grown at the floor of woody trees. The vegetables experienced 55.85(T3), 60.70(T2), 66.38(T1), and 100 (T4) % PAR under different tree crop combinations respectively. In both cases the highest BCR (3.75) and (3.09) was obtained in the ghoraneem + pineapple based multistoried agroforestry system for potato and brinjal production, respectively, which may considered as the best technique for higher production, crop diversification, and maximization of land use efficiency.

Global Burden of Animal Diseases informatics strategy, data quality and model interoperability.

The estimation of the global burden of animal diseases requires the integration of multidisciplinary models: economic, statistical, mathematical and conceptual. The output of one model often serves as input for another; therefore, consistency of the model components is critical. The Global Burden of Animal Diseases (GBADs) Informatics team aims to strengthen the scientific foundations of modelling by creating tools that address challenges related to reproducibility, as well as model, data and metadata interoperability. Aligning with these aims, several tools are under development: a) GBADs'Trusted Animal Information Portal (TAIL) is a data acquisition platform that enhances the discoverability of data and literature and improves the user experience of acquiring data. TAIL leverages advanced semantic enrichment techniques (natural language processing and ontologies) and graph databases to provide users with a comprehensive repository of livestock data and literature resources. b) The interoperability of GBADs'models is being improved through the development of an R-based modelling package and standardisation of parameter formats. This initiative aims to foster reproducibility, facilitate data sharing and enable seamless collaboration among stakeholders. c) The GBADs Knowledge Engine is being built to foster an inclusive and dynamic user community by offering data in multiple formats and providing user-friendly mechanisms to garner feedback from the community. These initiatives are critical in addressing complex challenges in animal health and underscore the importance of combining scientific rigour with user-friendly interfaces to empower global efforts in safeguarding animal populations and public health.
