Bismuth-Based Z-Scheme Heterojunction Photocatalysts for Remediation of Contaminated Water.

Agricultural runoff, fuel spillages, urbanization, hospitalization, and industrialization are some of the serious problems currently facing the world. In particular, byproducts that are hazardous to the ecosystem have the potential to mix with water used for drinking. Over the last three decades, various techniques, including biodegradation, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), (e.

Knowledge and attitude on home-based management of diarrheal disease among mothers/caregivers of under-five children at a tertiary hospital in Ethiopia.

Introduction: diarrhea is the passage of three or more loose or liquid stools per day or more frequent than normal for the individual. Nearly half of deaths from diarrhea among young children occur in Africa where diarrhea is the largest reason for death among children under 5 years old. Home-based management of diarrhea plays its role in the treatment of a child with diarrhea.

Electropolymerizable Thiophene-Oligonucleotides for Electrode Functionalization.

Inserting complex biomolecules such as oligonucleotides during the synthesis of polymers remains an important challenge in the development of functionalized materials. In order to engineer such a biofunctionalized interface, a single-step method for the covalent immobilization of oligonucleotides (ONs) based on novel electropolymerizable lipid thiophene-oligonucleotide (L-ThON) conjugates was employed. Here, we report a new thiophene phosphoramidite building block for the synthesis of modified L-ThONs.

The current status, challenges and prospects of using biomass energy in Ethiopia.

Despite enormous challenges in accessing sustainable energy supplies and advanced energy technologies, Ethiopia has one of the world's fastest growing economies. The development of renewable energy technology and the building of a green legacy in the country are being prioritized. The total installed capacity for electricity generation in Ethiopia is 4324.

Hydrogel Matrix-Grafted Impedimetric Aptasensors for the Detection of Diclofenac.

Driven by the growing concern about the release of untreated emerging pollutants and the need for determining small amounts of these pollutants present in the environment, novel biosensors dedicated to molecular recognition are developed. We have designed biosensors using a novel class of grafted polymers, surface-attached hydrogel thin films, on conductive transducers as a biocompatible matrix for biomolecule immobilization. We showed that they can be dedicated to the molecular recognition of diclofenac (DCL).

Patterns and predictive factors of unhealthy practice among mothers during pregnancy, childbirth, postnatal and newborn care in Southern Ethiopia: a community based cross-sectional study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the magnitude, patterns and predictive factors of unhealthy practice among mothers during pregnancy, childbirth, postnatal and newborn care in Southern Ethiopia.

Results: Among the total participants, 29.0% mothers performed at least one unhealthy practice during pregnancy, childbirth, postnatal period and newborn care.

Maternal Preference, Mode of Delivery and Associated Factors among Women Who Gave Birth at Public and Private Hospitals in Hawassa City, Southern Ethiopia.

Introduction: Despite the advances in modern obstetrics care, maternal morbidity and mortality remains a big problem. Proper choice in the mode of delivery is necessary to tackle this problem. The aim of this study was to assess maternal preference, mode of delivery and associated factors among women who gave birth at public and private hospitals in Hawassa city, Southern Ethiopia, 2017.

Assessment of Patients' Adherence to Antiepileptic Medications at Dessie Referral Hospital, Chronic Follow-Up, South Wollo, Amhara Region, North East Ethiopia.

An epileptic seizure is a clinical event presumed to result from an abnormal and excessive neuronal discharge. The clinical symptoms are paroxysmal and may include impaired consciousness and motor, sensory, autonomic, or psychic events perceived by the subject or an observer. Epilepsy occurs when 2 or more epileptic seizures occur unprovoked by any immediately identifiable cause.
