Holistic valorization of microalgal slurry into biofuels via integrated simultaneous saccharification and fermentation using co-immobilized tri-enzymes

Author(s): Ha GS; Basak B; Ahn HJ; Baek G; Hwang JH; Roh HS; Chung WJ; Jeon BH;

The commercial viability of microalgal biorefineries is currently constrained by high energy demands during pretreatment and incomplete biomass valorization arising from cell wall recalcitrance. To overcome these challenges, this study developed a high-efficiency simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) strategy using an immobilized tri-enzyme ...

Where state, market, and community meet: Village doctors and the governance of rural health in China

Author(s): Wang Z; Gao Z; Zou X; Zhang P; Ma X; Rice K; Bouey J; Liu X;

Introduction: Effective health governance is essential for ensuring accessible, equitable, efficient, and high-quality healthcare services. Yet it is often overlooked or oversimplified in health services studies in rural China. We examine the unique role of village doctors in shaping public health governance in rural China. Methods: A two-phase ethnograp ...

Widespread exposure to GLP-1RAs and weight loss-related discourse: Considering potential public health implications

Author(s): Côté M; Ramos Salas X; Carrière K; Alberga AS;

Incretin-based therapies, including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), are approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and related conditions, and have demonstrated significant benefits for individuals with these conditions. However, in recent years, public interest and demand for GLP-1RAs-often driven by media, social media ...

Nature vs nurture of glucose homeostasis trajectories in children from the ALSPAC study

Author(s): Gamache I; Fagbemi K; Harnois-Leblanc S; Greenwood CMT; Henderson M; Van Hulst A; Timpson NJ; Manousaki D;

Aims/hypothesis: Dysglycaemia in youth results from complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors, yet their individual and combined contributions remain unclear. We aimed to: (1) evaluate the predictive performance of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for glycaemic traits from childh ...

Deep learning-based femoral reconstruction from intraoperative point clouds for enhanced knee arthroplasty registration

Author(s): Kafian Safari M; Mirzae M; Gheflati B; Sharifzade M; Zuhars J; Rottoo S; Rivaz H;

Purpose: Computer- and robotic-assisted technologies improve total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through intraoperative bone registration. However, limited bone exposure restricts point collection to the distal femur, omitting key geometric features and reducing registration accuracy and the surgical outcomes. Methods: We introduce a deep learning-based method ...

Reliability and Validity of Risk Assessment Tools for Violent Extremism: A Systematic Review

Author(s): Brouillette-Alarie S; Hassan G; Varela W; Danis E; Ousman S; Madriaza P; Pauls IL; Kilinc D; Pickup D; Pelzer R; Borokhovski E;

Assessment of the risk of engaging in a violent radicalization/extremism trajectory has evolved quickly in the last 10 years. Guided by what has been achieved in psychology and criminology, scholars from the field of preventing violent extremism (PVE) have tried to import key lessons from violenc ...

Microbial fuel cell (MFC)-based biosensor for real-time detection of heavy metals and BTEX contaminants in water

Author(s): Baik JH; Hwang JH; Ryu H; Gomez-Alvarez V; Kim KT; Hyoung Lee W;

This study evaluates a mixed-culture microbial fuel cell (MFC) as a rapid, real-time biosensor for detecting water toxicity caused by heavy metals and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) compounds. A dual-chamber MFC (200 mL) equipped with carbon fiber electrodes was operated with an electroactive biofilm on the anode, and toxicity responses ...
