Enrichment of thermophilic methanogenic microflora from mesophilic waste activated sludge for anaerobic digestion of garbage slurry.

This study investigated a startup strategy for thermophilic methanogenic enrichment. Conventional waste activated sludge (WAS) was used as the seed. The WAS seed was incubated at 55 °C in a continuous-flow stirred tank reactor, with garbage slurry fed continuously as a substrate.

Strengthening Primary Health Care: Emergency and Disaster Preparedness in Community with Multidisciplinary Approach.

The increasing number of disasters and communities affected, coupled with the threats from climate change, has drawn not only national but also international attention to the risks of disasters and what can be done about them. It is important for communities and all global partners to be more prepared by taking action before disasters occur through disaster risk reduction, including the efforts of emergency preparedness, as well as through disaster response and recovery. To meet the emergency public health needs in any population, there is no other option than strengthening the primary health care system.
