Efficacy and Adaptation Mechanisms of Algal-Bacterial Granular Sludge Treatment for Phenolic Wastewater

Authors: Aoxue Yu, Rui Ouyang, Shulian Wang, Bin Ji and Lu Cai

The ubiquitous presence of phenolic compounds in effluents poses a risk to aquatic organisms and human health. This study investigates the responses of the emerging algal-bacterial granular sludge process in treating phenolic wastewater. The results showed that phenol at 1, 10, and 100 mg/L had little effect on ammonia-N, chemical oxygen demand (COD), and phosphate-P removal. At the highest phenol concentration of 100 mg/L, the average removal rates of ammonia-N, COD, and phosphate-P were 94.8%, 72.9%, and 83.7%, respectively. The presence of phenol led to a decline in chlorophyll content of the algal-bacterial granular sludge, concurrently resulting in an increase in the abundance of microbial diversity. Algal-bacterial granular sludge exhibited mechanisms such as elevated extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) production, which may aid in coping with oxidative stress from phenols. This research underscores the algal-bacterial granular sludge’s potential for treating phenolic wastewater, thereby advancing knowledge in the field of phenol degradation with this innovative technology.

Keywords: algal-bacterial granular sludge; phenolic wastewater; extracellular polymeric substances; antioxidant enzymes; adaptive response

Unpacking the Mood States of Children and Youth in Saskatchewan, Canada, in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Insights from the “See Us, Hear Us 2.0” Study

Issue No. 01 (Jan-Mar)

Authors: Nahin Shakurun, Tamara Hinz, Daniel A. Adeyinka and Nazeem Muhajarine

Background/Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic created a growing need for insights into the mental health of children and youth and their use of coping mechanisms during this period. We assessed mood symptoms and related factors among children and youth in Saskatchewan. We examined if coping abilities mediated the relationship between risk factors and mood states. Methods: “See Us, Hear Us 2.0”, a cross-sectional study of 563 child–parent dyads, provided the data. The dependent variable, current mood state, was measured by the CoRonavIruS health Impact Survey (CRISIS) scale. Independent variables included sociodemographics, behaviors, household conditions, and coping ability. Multiple linear regression and mediation analyses were conducted, ensuring sample representativeness with sampling weights and addressing missing data through multiple imputations. Results: The participants reported mood symptoms (“moderate” to “extreme”) ranging from 23% to 38% on the CRISIS scale. Factors such as older children, hybrid learning, disrupted activities, and increased screen time worsened moods. The ethnic minority groups (BIPOC) living in mid-sized cities/towns experienced more negative moods compared to Whites residing in cities. Coping ability mediated the relationship between extracurricular activities and mood states. Conclusions: Our results underscore the importance of tailored interventions, recognizing the diverse needs of specific age groups, gender identities, and ethnicities and addressing the adverse effects of the pandemicrelated disruptions on the mental health and well-being of school children in Saskatchewan. Our study also suggests prioritizing the diverse needs of children and youth during the planning and implementation of mental health services in the province.

Food Insecurity and Coping Mechanisms: Impact on Maternal Mental Health and Child Malnutrition †

Issue No. 01 (Jan-Mar)

Authors: Berna Rahi, Farah Al Mashharawi, Hana Harb, Myriam El Khoury-Malhame and Lama Mattar

Background: Household food insecurity (HFI) is a serious public health concern in Lebanon. Adverse mental health issues have been reported among food insecure households in addition to physical and nutritional complications. Caregivers in food insecure families tend to adopt different coping mechanisms to mitigate the effects of food insecurity (FI) on their children. Objective: This cross-sectional observational study aimed to explore the relationship between FI, maternal depression, child malnutrition, and differential coping mechanisms adopted by mothers. Methods: A total of 219 women were enrolled in this study; FI was assessed using the household food insecurity assessment (HFIAS), maternal depression using the patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9), and their children’s nutritional status through recall of anthropometric measurements. Pearson’s correlations and logistic regressions were performed to evaluate the associations between HFI, maternal depression, and children’s nutritional status. Results: A strong positive correlation between HFI and maternal depression (p = 0.001) and children’s nutritional status (p = 0.008) was shown. Logistic regressions revealed that being food secure decreased the risk of maternal depression (OR = 0.328, 95% CI 0.125–0.863, p = 0.024), while it did not predict children’s nutritional status. Eight main themes related to coping mechanisms were identified. Conclusions: This study highlights the understudied relationship between food insecurity and maternal depression, showing an increased prevalence of HFI among residents in Lebanon with a positive correlation with increased maternal depression. Further investigation is warranted to better explore how to mitigate the negative impact of food insecurity on mental health, maternal nutritional needs, and Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices in Lebanon.

Improving Crop Tolerance to Abiotic Stress for Sustainable Agriculture: Progress in Manipulating Ascorbic Acid Metabolism via Genome Editing

Issue No. 01 (Jan-Mar)

Plants often encounter challenging environmental factors, including intense sunlight, drought, extreme heat, cold temperatures, salinity, excessive metals, and nutrient shortages, which can heavily affect their growth and survival. In this regard, L-ascorbic acid (AsA) is not only an essential nutrient for human health but also plays a significant role in plant responses to environmental stresses, regulating various functions during growth and development, redox signaling, and phytohormone biosynthesis. The growing need to cope with climate change, together with the advancement of CRISPR/Cas9-editing technologies, stimulated new opportunities to enhance AsA biosynthesis to improve crop stress tolerance. In this review, we discuss the biosynthesis and regulation of AsA in abiotic stress response mechanisms. We also explore the latest advancements of CRISPR/Cas9 technologies, their applications, and their challenges as tools for modifying genes associated with AsA metabolism, aiming to develop crops more tolerant and resilient to environmental changes.

Keywords: L-ascorbic acid; abiotic stresses; reactive oxygen species; sustainable technologies and innovations; CRISPR/Cas; plant resilience

Resilience Mechanisms and Coping Strategies for Forcibly Displaced Youth: An Exploratory Rapid Review

Issue No. 04 (Oct-Dec)

Authors: Akm Alamgir, Christopher Kyriakides, Andrew Johnson, Gemechu Abeshu, Bay Bahri and Miles Abssy

Context: The global escalation of conflict, violence, and human rights violations sets a pressing backdrop for examining the resilience of forcibly displaced youth (FDY) in Canada. This study aims to unpack the multifaceted challenges and resilience mechanisms of FDY, focusing on their health, well-being, and integration into host communities. It seeks to identify current models of resilience, understand the factors within each model, and highlight gaps and limitations. Methodology: Using a university librarian-supported structured search strategy, this exploratory rapid review searched literature from Ovid Medline and open-source databases, published in English between January 2019 and January 2024, that fit specific inclusion criteria. The eligible articles (N = 12 out of 4096) were charted and analyzed by two student researchers with the Principal Investigator (PI). Charted data were analyzed thematically. Results: The selected studies captured diverse geographical perspectives, resilience models (such as Ungar’s ecological perspective and Masten’s resilience developmental models), as well as protective and promotive frameworks. Key findings indicate the complexity of resilience influenced by individual, familial, societal, and cultural factors. Each model offers insights into the dynamic interplay of these influences on FDY’s resilience. However, these models often fall short of addressing the nuances of cultural specificity, the impact of trauma, and the intersectionality of FDY’s identities. Conclusions: Recognizing the diverse and evolving nature of FDY’s coping mechanisms, this study advocates for a culturally appropriate approach to resilience that integrates an intersectionality framework of individual attributes and culturally sensitive models.

CAMLLA-YOLOv8n: Cow Behavior Recognition Based on Improved YOLOv8n

Issue No. 04 (Oct-Dec)

Authors: Qingxiang Jia, Jucheng Yang, Shujie Han, Zihan Du and Jianzheng Liu

Cow behavior carries important health information. The timely and accurate detection of standing, grazing, lying, estrus, licking, fighting, and other behaviors is crucial for individual cow monitoring and understanding of their health status. In this study, a model called CAMLLAYOLOv8n is proposed for Holstein cow behavior recognition. We use a hybrid data augmentation method to provide the model with rich Holstein cow behavior features and improve the YOLOV8n model to optimize the Holstein cow behavior detection results under challenging conditions. Specifically, we integrate the Coordinate Attention mechanism into the C2f module to form the C2f-CA module, which strengthens the expression of inter-channel feature information, enabling the model to more accurately identify and understand the spatial relationship between different Holstein cows’ positions, thereby improving the sensitivity to key areas and the ability to filter background interference. Secondly, the MLLAttention mechanism is introduced in the P3, P4, and P5 layers of the Neck part of the model to better cope with the challenges of Holstein cow behavior recognition caused by large-scale changes. In addition, we also innovatively improve the SPPF module to form the SPPF-GPE module, which optimizes small target recognition by combining global average pooling and global maximum pooling processing and enhances the model’s ability to capture the key parts of Holstein cow behavior in the environment. Given the limitations of traditional IoU loss in cow behavior detection, we replace CIoU loss with Shape–IoU loss, focusing on the shape and scale features of the Bounding Box, thereby improving the matching degree between the Prediction Box and the Ground Truth Box. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed CAMLLA-YOLOv8n algorithm, we conducted experiments on a self-constructed dataset containing 23,073 Holstein cow behavior instances. The experimental results show that, compared with models such as YOLOv3-tiny, YOLOv5n, YOLOv5s, YOLOv7-tiny, YOLOv8n, and YOLOv8s, the improved CAMLLA-YOLOv8n model achieved increases in Precision of 8.79%, 7.16%, 6.06%, 2.86%, 2.18%, and 2.69%, respectively, when detecting the states of Holstein cows grazing, standing, lying, licking, estrus, fighting, and empty bedding. Finally, although the Params and FLOPs of the CAMLLA-YOLOv8n model increased slightly compared with the YOLOv8n model, it achieved significant improvements of 2.18%, 1.62%, 1.84%, and 1.77% in the four key performance indicators of Precision, Recall, mAP@0.5, and mAP@0.5:0.95, respectively. This model, named CAMLLA-YOLOv8n, effectively meets the need for the accurate and rapid identification of Holstein cow behavior in actual agricultural environments. This research is significant for improving the economic benefits of farms and promoting the transformation of animal husbandry towards digitalization and intelligence.

Physiopathological Roles of White Adiposity and Gut Functions in Neuroinflammation

Issue No. 04 (Oct-Dec)

Authors: Eduardo Spinedi and Guillermo Horacio Docena

White adipose tissue (WAT) and the gut are involved in the development of neuroinflammation when an organism detects any kind of injury, thereby triggering metainflammation. In fact, the autonomous nervous system innervates both tissues, although the complex role played by the integrated sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric nervous system functions have not been fully elucidated. Our aims were to investigate the participation of inflamed WAT and the gut in neuroinflammation. Firstly, we conducted an analysis into how inflamed peripheral WAT plays a key role in the triggering of metainflammation. Indeed, this included the impact of the development of local insulin resistance and its metabolic consequences, a serious hypothalamic dysfunction that promotes neurodegeneration. Then, we analyzed the gut–brain axis dysfunction involved in neuroinflammation by examining cell interactions, soluble factors, the sensing of microbes, and the role of dysbiosis-related mechanisms (intestinal microbiota and mucosal barriers) affecting brain functions. Finally, we targeted the physiological crosstalk between cells of the brain–WAT–gut axis that restores normal tissue homeostasis after injury. We concluded the following: because any injury can result not only in overall insulin resistance and dysbiosis, which in turn can impact upon the brain, but that a high-risk of the development of neuroinflammation-induced neurodegenerative disorder can also be triggered. Thus, it is imperative to avoid early metainflammation by applying appropriate preventive (e.g., lifestyle and diet) or pharmacological treatments to cope with allostasis and thus promote health homeostasis.
