Urban governance and solid household waste management in Togo: Case of the town of Vogan in Togo (West Africa)

The regular growth of the population and the change in consumption patterns lead to significant production of urban waste, the management of which is becoming an environmental concern. The rapid population growth and changing consumption patterns have led to significant urban waste production, making waste management a pressing environmental concern. This study aims to improve solid household waste management in Vogan through a diagnostic analysis. Conducted from June to August 2022, the cross-sectional study surveyed household knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to waste management. Data were collected through an opinion survey of 350 households across 20 districts, using semi-structured questionnaires, interviews, and field observations. Additionally, heavy metal content in waste samples was analyzed in the laboratory. Results showed that 85.43% of households had trash cans, yet 62.26% disposed of their waste in illegal dumpsites due to a lack of pre-collection services. Furthermore, 10.57% used waste as backfill in streets. Knowledge about waste management was moderate, with 62.29% having heard of it, and 70% of these respondents recognizing the importance of subscribing to a pre-collection service. Laboratory analyses revealed contamination of a landfill with cadmium, lead, and copper, along with widespread zinc pollution across all selected sites. Raising awareness and installing proper waste management infrastructure are critical to improving public health and enhancing the town's environmental quality.

A novel corrosion inhibitor of bis-benzimidazole derivative for mild steel: Synthesis, properties and mechanism investigation

The application of corrosion inhibitor is still one of the effective ways to protect metals under high temperature and high pressure environment. In this paper, we have introduced a synthetic method for a novel bis-benzimidazole derivative, i.e., N, N-bis (-2-heptadecyl-benzimidazole) -1-hexylammonium chloride (HBH), and its solubility was improved by adding a specific surfactant (AEO-5) to form a highly efficient corrosion inhibitor system (HBH-A), and its corrosion inhibition was studied by weight loss, electrochemical measurements, SEM, EDS and XRD. The results showed that HBH-A inhibited the corrosion of N80 carbon steel in the corrosive medium. As the concentration of HBH-A increases, the corrosion inhibition rate exhibits a pattern of rapid initial growth followed by a slower increase. Electrochemical measurements demonstrate that HBH-A behaved as an effective mixed-type corrosion inhibitor, exhibiting a significant enhancement in the corrosion inhibition rate (η) with increasing concentrations of HBH-A. At a HBH-A concentration of 100 mg⋅L-1, the inhibition rate can outstrip 98%. Corrosion surface analysis further confirm that the HBH molecules are indeed adsorbed to form an adsorption film, and the surface exposure of N80 carbon steel was significantly decreased with the action of HBH-A, thus reducing the corrosion rate of N80 carbon steel.

A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICY IMPLEMENTATION IN SOUTHEAST ASIA

Rapid urbanisation, population growth, economic development, and changing consumption patterns have increased waste generation worldwide. In many urban areas of Southeast Asia, waste is the most visible environmental issue, as waste generation has increased rapidly over the last decade. Effective implementation ensures that the outcomes correspond to policy goals. Most Southeast Asian countries have policies and regulations on solid waste management (SWM). However, the policies lack efficient implementation processes and enforcement. (1) political systems influence SWM effectiveness, (2) adequate resources, (3) appropriate technology, and (4) public awareness and participation. Even though many studies have been conducted on SWM implementation, very few focused on the Southeast Asian region. A systematic literature review of research articles retrieved from the Web of Science and Scopus databases was conducted. This study analysed 17 articles from 598 articles initially retrieved to answer the research questions. The analysisfound that multiple stakeholders participated in the SWM system, and a set of challenges revealed the leading causes of policy failure. The analyses served as guidelines to plan for the effective implementation of SWM policies.

Abstract B030: Synergistic antitumor effects of cold atmospheric plasma and temozolomide in glioblastoma: multimodal approaches integrating in-vitro, in vivo, and in silico investigations for novel and enhanced therapeutic advancements

Abstract Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a common and aggressive brain cancer with a median survival rate of 12 to 18 months after diagnosis. Despite standard treatments, including surgery, radiotherapy, and Temozolomide (TMZ), GBM remains highly resistant to therapy due to its infiltrative pattern of invasion, rapid growth, and propensity to relapse [1]. While overall mortality rates remain high, there is a crucial need for a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms and gene mutations involved in GBM and the development of more effective and adaptive therapeutic approaches. Modulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels has been suggested as a therapeutic strategy to selectively target the destruction of cancer cells. To address this, we propose a combination therapy utilizing multi-operational plasma devices, including using cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) jet and plasma discharge tube (PDT) in conjunction with TMZ for GBM treatment. CAP functions by elevating reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) levels and specifically targeting tumor spread. We investigated various plasma devices and their characteristics using optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and measured the electromagnetic potential and emissions of the PDT. The OES of PDT displayed a similar spectrum as the CAP jet, indicating the presence of ROS. In this study, we performed transcriptomic analysis of glioblastoma cells using high throughput deep RNA-Seq with next-generation sequencing (NGS) to quantify genome-wide gene expression changes. Additionally, we examined signaling pathways and predicted structural changes in consequential proteins caused by gene spectrum up or down-regulation. Our results demonstrate that the combination treatment of CAP and TMZ downregulated vital genes involved in MAPK, P53, DNA repair, and cell cycle pathways. The combination of CAP & TMZ showed a significant antitumor effect, inducing apoptosis and damaging essential proteins in GBM cells. In vitro and microscopic studies verified these results, showing nuclear and cell membrane disruption in cancer cells post-plasma treatment. Our findings demonstrate that the combination of CAP/PDT and TMZ effectively sensitizes GBM cells to TMZ, leading to apoptosis. We have previously shown a non-invasive application of CAP jet on the skull of tumor-bearing mice causing ~78% tumor inhibition [2]. Our current study highlights the potential of PDT for non-invasive treatment in vitro, offering a modality for intracranial delivery in in-vivo models. In conclusion, we propose CAP/PDT and TMZ combination therapy as novel non-invasive treatments for GBM in murine models. This approach offers a promising avenue for addressing the dire need for more effective treatments with minimal impact on normal cells. Further investigations and validation in clinical settings are warranted to significantly improve GBM management and patient outcomes.

Dynamics of Malaria Incidence in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan: Unveiling Rapid Growth Patterns and Forecasting Future Trends

BackgroundMalaria remains a formidable worldwide health challenge, with approximately half of the global population at high risk of catching the infection. This research study aimed to address the pressing public health issue of malaria’s escalating prevalence in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, Pakistan, and endeavors to estimate the trend for the future growth of the infection.MethodsThe data were collected from the IDSRS of KP, covering a period of 5 years from 2018 to 2022. We proposed a hybrid model that integrated Prophet and TBATS methods, allowing us to efficiently capture the complications of the malaria data and improve forecasting accuracy. To ensure an inclusive assessment, we compared the prediction performance of the proposed hybrid model with other widely used time series models, such as ARIMA, ETS, and ANN. The models were developed through R-statistical software (version 4.2.2).ResultsFor the prediction of malaria incidence, the suggested hybrid model (Prophet and TBATS) surpassed commonly used time series approaches (ARIMA, ETS, and ANN). Hybrid model assessment metrics portrayed higher accuracy and reliability with lower MAE (8913.9), RMSE (3850.2), and MAPE (0.301) values. According to our forecasts, malaria infections were predicted to spread around 99,301 by December 2023.ConclusionsWe found the hybrid model (Prophet and TBATS) outperformed common time series approaches for forecasting malaria. By December 2023, KP’s malaria incidence is expected to be around 99,301, making future incidence forecasts important. Policymakers will be able to use these findings to curb disease and implement efficient policies for malaria control.

Determinants of dietary diversity and drivers of food choice among low-income consumers in urban Kenya, Malawi and Zimbabwe.

Rapid urbanisation affects lifestyle and eating habits, predominantly causing a dietary shift that adds challenges to meet dietary recommendations within a complex food system. This research investigated dietary diversity and food choice drivers among low-income consumers in three urban settlements (Nairobi, Kenya; Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and Lilongwe, Malawi, representing rapid, moderate and slow urban growth patterns, respectively) as a first step towards improving diets across cultures and geographies. Mixed methods data collection was employed for this study. Qualitative methods such as rapid foodscape appraisal workshops and food stories in selected low-income settlements in Nairobi, Bulawayo and Lilongwe were utilised to collect information on the food environments (food balances, infrastructure, safety, policies and institutions). Quantitative data such as socio-demographic characteristics and dietary diversity were collected via structured questionnaires using Cognitive Edge's SenseMaker® (n = 890, 450 and 440 for Nairobi, Bulawayo and Lilongwe, respectively). The dietary intake of respondents was assessed using a 24-h recall, which was then converted to the food group diversity score (FGDS). Different levels of compounded stress affected dietary diversity and quality, including high food prices, concerns about sanitation and hygiene and the role of food standards regulation bodies. The mean FGDS across all locations was lower than the recommended cut-off of 5 (4.5, 2.8 and 2.6 across Nairobi, Zimbabwe and Lilongwe, respectively). Additionally, in Nairobi, there were gender differences in diet diversity, with men having a higher dietary diversity score than women (4.6% vs. 4.3%; p = 0.004). The majority of respondents in Lilongwe (65%) reported price as the most important driver of food choice, compared to 38% in Nairobi and 42% in Bulawayo. Our observation of poor-quality diets provides further evidence of the need for food policies that are cognisant of the nutrition and health of the growing population of the urban poor. Such policies would focus on lowering the costs of nutritious foods as well as ensuring food safety within the complex food system observed in the urban low-income environment.

Ratoon Rice System of Production: A Rapid Growth Pattern of Multiple Cropping in China: A Review.

In this review, the significance of ratoon rice was introduced, and the research status and development trends of ratoon rice were also summarized. It is pointed out that mechanically harvested ratoon rice is the developing direction of future ratoon rice. On this basis, we analyzed the relationship between the yield of ratoon rice and many factors, such as variety characteristics, sowing date, water control, fertilizer, and many others. It is important to construct a comprehensive and practical evaluation system for rice regeneration that can provide a basis for high-yield cultivation of machine-harvested ratoon rice. At the same time, it is suggested that combining high-yield cultivation with the green ecological efficiency of rice can achieve better production and improve the quality of rice. Finally, some problems with ratoon rice development were put forward. An in-depth study on the rhizosphere biology and regulation techniques of ratoon rice and the effective ecological compensation mechanism increased the capacity and quality of ratoon rice. Further, the functioning of such research can enhance the planting area for ratoon rice and improve food security.

Water resource security assessment and prediction in a changing natural and social environment: Case study of the Yanhe Watershed, China

Water security is the backbone of regional development. However, it is generally compromised by the increasing competition for water resources between natural and social systems, especially in areas with limited water resources. Sustainable water planning requires a comprehensive analysis of supply and demand patterns, which is difficult owing to scale mismatches in data and methodologies. This study investigated the dynamics and interrelationships of water supply and demand in a semi-arid watershed of the Loess Plateau, China, by developing a system dynamics model that simulates water security during 1980–2020 and future changes under different climate, socioeconomic development, and inter-basin water diversion scenarios during 2021–2050. The results showed that (1) by the end of 2020, the regional water security level gradually approached the water scarcity threshold indicated by the water deficit index surpassing 0; (2) under unfavorable climate and progressive socioeconomic growth conditions, up to 16 out of 30 years of simulation demonstrated water insecurity in the form of a net water quantity deficit; and (3) the water diversion project can offset such deficits in the short term, but potentially aggravates water insecurity risk by eliciting a more rapid socioeconomic growth pattern. The results indicate that curbing demand and improving water-saving technology are instructive in water resource management. For the Yanhe Watershed, the quantity and pattern of water diversion should be improved in the future to guarantee water resource security on a full temporal scale. We suggest a moderate socioeconomic growth rate to be more appropriate for this region and that efforts to solidify water use redlines and advancement in water-saving technologies are essential in the future. This study provides a scientific basis for the long-term evaluation of regional water security on a full timescale with tightly coupled hydrological components and a modeling framework for decision-makers to manage water resources sustainably.

Application of big data search based on collaborative filtering algorithm in cross-border e-commerce product recommendation.

With the deepening of cross-border e-commerce, the trend of buying and selling goods through the Internet is rising. It is necessary to establish a cross-border e-commerce platform that meets the above functions, and improve the ability to process big data in search. For example, the emergence of large amounts of data can not only help users make choices, but also increase the difficulty of users in choosing. At present, there are many problems in the big data search system in the market, such as inaccurate user personality analysis and low importance of product recommendation. E-commerce is developing rapidly in the new era, and new users are increasing every day. Many researchers invest in finding excellent cross-border e-commerce recommendation system as a business platform. The number of information in cross-border e-commerce shows a rapid growth pattern, and the rapid growth of data and information has seriously affected people's judgment. The big data search system based on collaborative filtering algorithm can meet the product recommendation system of cross-border e-commerce. The user matrix label is an attribute of construction. For the label quantification, the new user preference is the model of building the label, and the concept of weight is added to the label. The collaborative filtering algorithm works based on the created weight label.

Ovarian malignant melanoma metastasized from skin mimicking a benign cyst: a rare case report and mini-review of the literature

Malignant melanomas, often appearing on the skin, rarely metastasize to internal organs and the ovaries are the least affected site. A 45-year-old female patient presenting with a skin lesion on the right side of the neck and diagnosed with malignant melanoma through excision biopsy also appeared to have lung metastasis and a nonspecific ovarian cystic mass of 6 cm after PET-CT scan was performed. Examination revealed a mass with the widest diameter of 9 cm and a surgical decision was made due to the rapid growth pattern. Tumor markers appeared to be within the normal range. Laparoscopic right salpingoopherectomy was performed and frozen section biopsy was obtained. The result was found to be malignant and complementary surgery was performed. Pathological examination of the cystic mass, which was detected to have only nonspecific findings on radiological exam, revealed tiny solid areas in its capsule. The patient was started on postoperative Dabrafenib + Trametinib treatment by oncology and was followed up without recurrence until the 24th postoperative month. At month 24, the brain metastasis with no response to radiotherapy occurred and the patient was lost on the 15th day after decompression surgery. It is important to send adnexal masses to the frozen even if they appear to have a benign character. In patients with a known history of primary cancer, the possibility of the metastasis from the primary tumor site to the ovary should be considered in those whose peroperative frozen section result is in favor of malignancy. Our case is the first case of ovarian malignant melanoma metastasis with a completely cystic and septa-free character in the literature.

Pricing quantitative model design of distribution network assets REITs products and ABS products

Abstract In recent years, the development of asset securitization in China has maintained a rapid growth pattern. The raised funds will be used to support enterprises in power grids or related industrial chains to obtain financial equivalent services. Reasonable pricing of distribution network assets REITs, ABS products and other financial products related to distribution network assets is an important auxiliary means to establish asset guarantee. The research of quantitative distribution network asset valuation model provides a good theoretical and working support for solving the reasonable pricing problem of distribution network assets. This paper will focus on the theoretical basis and related methods of quantitative model design for REITs products and ABS products from the perspective of distribution network assets. The results show that asset prices fluctuate at the 1% level for every 1% change in default rate when the prepayment rate is unchanged. The results show that the price of ABS products is more sensitive to the change of prepayment rate.

High-grade desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma in a 1-year-old child with Down’s syndrome: a case report

BackgroundDown’s syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality in humans. It has been associated with central nervous system tumors such as primary acute lymphoblastic leukemia and germinomas, but desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma has not yet been reported with Down’s syndrome. Desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma is a rare intracranial tumor that mostly occurs in the first 2 years of life. It usually presents as a large, aggressive tumor with both solid and cystic components. Genetically, it has been linked to the BRAF V600E mutation. Despite the rapid growth pattern, it usually has a favorable prognosis after neurosurgical excision. The presence of this extremely rare, genetically linked tumor, and its combination with Down’s syndrome, the most common human genetic defect, makes this a very novel clinical presentation. It also raises a very research-worthy question of an undiscovered link between these two genetic disorders.Case presentationIn this case, we report a 1-year-old Pakistani origin male child with Down’s syndrome, who presented with progressive macrocephaly and developmental regression over the last 2 months. He was unable to sit by himself, and had lost his handgrip bilaterally. Down’s Syndrome was diagnosed soon after birth, based on typical facial features and presence of palmar crease, and later confirmed karyotypically for Trisomy 21. Upon presentation, initial blood tests did not show any abnormality. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was done, and showed a mixed intensity cystic mass with solid dural component posteriorly in the right parieto temporo occipital region. Craniotomy was performed, and about 85% of the tumor mass was excised. Histological examination and immunochemistry confirmed the suspected radiological diagnosis of desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma. After surgical excision, our patient gradually reacquired his previously regressed developmental milestones. Unfortunately, the remaining mass, which could not be excised due to its attachment to the highly vascular dura mater, showed regrowth on repeat brain magnetic resonance imaging. As his parents did not consent to further surgery, chemotherapy was offered as the next treatment option to prevent tumor regrowth.ConclusionsThis case report highlights the need for more case data and research to understand desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma, and their genetic correlation with Down’s syndrome. From a clinical standpoint, since desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma has a good postresection prognosis in a majority of early-diagnosed clinical cases, pediatricians, radiologists, and pathologists should consider desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma in their initial differential diagnosis in Down’s syndrome patients with macrocephaly and developmental regression during the first 2 years of life.

The decline of large carnivores in Africa and opportunities for change

Large carnivore populations are in decline across the globe due to the destruction of their natural habitat and targeted persecution by the human species. Africa is home to one of the last remaining intact guilds of terrestrial mega-carnivore taxa and includes species that occupy a unique role in ecosystem function and in human evolutionary history. The rapid disappearance of large carnivores from the African landscape is therefore particularly alarming and several species are predicted to soon be extirpated outside of protected areas. Developing solutions addressing the drivers of decline are complex due to Africa's rapid human population growth and land use patterns, cultural and traditional values among rural communities, and regulations governing lethal control programs and the trophy hunting industry. There is also a critical need to consider the intrinsic value of the carnivore guild in the discourse as having a value beyond that which benefits humans. Lessons can be learned from a few programs that combine good governance and regulation, effective law enforcement, strong community participation and sustainable funding mechanisms to conserve carnivores at landscape scales. Integrating these criteria into a workable model and employing an evidence-based and adaptive approach is central to implementing long-term solutions for carnivore-human coexistence. Africa can become a global leader in the conservation of biodiversity by demonstrating resilience, collaboration and ingenuity to reverse the current trend, and restore and protect these charismatic carnivore species for the benefit of the planet as a whole.

Advanced-Stage Melanoma at Presentation Following the Peak of the Pandemic: A COVID-19 Cancer Canary in a Coal Mine.

BackgroundFor melanoma patients, timely identification and tumor thickness are directly correlated with outcomes. COVID-19 impacted both patients’ ability and desire to see physicians. We sought to identify whether the pandemic correlated with changes in melanoma thickness at presentation and subsequent treatment timeline.MethodsRetrospective chart review was performed on patients who underwent surgery for melanoma in an academic center surgical oncology practice from May 2019 to September 2021. Patients were split into two cohorts: “pre-pandemic” from May 2019 to May 2020 and “pandemic,” after May 2020, representing when these patients received their initial diagnostic biopsy. Demographic and melanoma-specific variables were recorded and analyzed.ResultsA total of 112 patients were identified: 51 patients from the “pre-pandemic” and 61 from the “pandemic” time period. The pandemic cohort more frequently presented with lesions greater than 1 mm thickness compared to pre-pandemic (68.8% v 49%, p = 0.033) and were found to have significantly more advanced T stage (p = 0.02) and overall stage disease (p = 0.022). Additionally, trends show that for pandemic patients more time passed from patient-reported lesion appearance/change to diagnostic biopsy (5.7 ± 2.0 v 7.1 ± 1.5 months, p = 0.581), but less time from biopsy to operation (42.9 ± 2.4 v 52.9 ± 5.0 days, p = 0.06).Conclusions“Pandemic” patients presented with thicker melanoma lesions and more advanced-stage disease. These results may portend a dangerous trend toward later stage at presentation, for melanoma and other cancers with rapid growth patterns, that will emerge as the prolonged effects of the pandemic continue to impact patients’ presentation for medical care.

Nodular fasciitis arising in the vulva – Case study of a common entity in an uncommon site

Background: Nodular fasciitis is a relatively common benign soft tissue neoplasm of myofibroblastic lineage.1 Nodular fasciitis can occasionally present as a diagnostic dilemma; clinically due to its rapid and infiltrative growth pattern on imaging, and histologically due to the presence of high cellularity with variable mitotic activity.2 In particular, the vulva poses additional diagnostic challenges with differentials of spindle cell lesions in the perineum including cellular angiofibroma, angiomyofibroblastoma and aggressive angiomyxoma.

Aneurysmal bone cyst of maxilla- A rare case report

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is rare benign tumour of bone of head and neck region. This is a case report of a 30-year-old male with a rapidly progressing right maxillary swelling. To study clinical profile and histopathological findings of presenting maxillary swelling. Patient underwent total excision of tumour via gingivolabial approach. Specimen was sent for histopathological examination. The histopathologic examination suggested it be a giant cell tumour, most likely an Aneurysmal bone cyst. ABC is characterised by rapid growth pattern. The tumour may cause thinning of bony walls, eventually leading to bony expansion and facial asymmetry. On histopathology, it presents as a variety of giant cell tumour.

Money and Household Consumption Expenditure in Developing Asia: Some Panel ARDL Evidence

The role of money in influencing real economic activities has been a long-standing debate in macroeconomics. As per the Keynesian theory, household consumption expenditure plays a significant role in promoting economic growth. Given the rapid consumption-led growth pattern in the emerging Asia Pacific region, in this article, we attempt to assess the role of money in influencing household consumption expenditure, which propels economic growth. We employ a panel data set from 2005–2018 for 10 emerging Asian economies, covering Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. Given the region’s heterogeneous nature, we employ a variant of the popular St Louise equation model with autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) panel framework based on pooled mean group (PMG) and dynamic fixed effect (DFE) models developed by Pesaran and Shin to study the underlying relationships. Both PMG and DFE models suggest a strong positive relationship between money and household consumption expenditure both in the long run and short run. After allowing for control variables such as government final consumption expenditure and interest rate, the relationships continue to hold steady. Further, the relationship holds true across both narrow (M1) and broad money (M3) measures. The government final consumption expenditure and interest rates do not have influence on household consumption expenditure in the long run, but they have an influence in the short run.

Current Evaluation on Generation, Storage, And Disposal of Solid Waste from Tourist Lodging Places in Mokokchung Town : A Case Study of Metsuben, Whispering Wind and Marvel Guest House

Rapid urbanization, population growth and changing consumption patterns in Mokokchung Town contribute significantly to the growing volumes of solid waste. The rate of tourist inflow in Mokokchung Town increases especially during the festive season owing to its culture, religion, history and aesthetic character of the town. Growth in the tourism industry along with ineffective solid waste management practises in the accommodation places and the town has resulted in increasing rates of solid waste production. The present study aims to analyse the inflow rate of tourists and to evaluate the current rate of generation, storage, and disposal of solid waste through empirical study. The study finds out that Mokokchung Town generates 14600 metric tons per year out of this, solid waste generated from tourist accommodation in town accounted for 4088 kg per year i.e., 4.08 Metric tons per year. The study suggests alternative storage and disposal options for tourist accommodation places.

INTELLECTUAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS AS A SOURCE OF INCREASING THE RATIONALIZATION OF THE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE OF AN INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE UNDER UNCERTAINTY

The real sector of the economy is going through a period of peak transformation, in which the author finds a pattern of rapid growth in the evolution of information consumption in terms of access, quantity and quality, as well as in the face of the various decisions made in the process of functioning of an industrial enterprise in conditions of uncertainty in the exogenous and endogenous environment.
