Capturing patient mobility levels in the hospital: An examination of nursing charting and behavioural mapping.

Aims: Our study aimed to (1) validate the accuracy of nursing mobility documentation and (2) identify the most effective timings for behavioural mapping.

Design: We monitored the mobility of 55 inpatients using behavioural mapping throughout a nursing day shift, comparing the observed mobility levels with the nursing charting in the electronic health record during the same period.

Results: Our results showed a high level of agreement between nursing records and observed mobility, with improved accuracy observed particularly when documentation was at 12 PM or later.

Box-Behnken design optimization of xylanase and cellulase production by on biomass.

Optimization of xylanase and cellulase production by a newly isolated strain grown on (alfa grass) biomass without pretreatment was carried out using a Box-Behnken design. First, the polysaccharides of dried and ground alfa grass were characterized using chemical methods (strong and diluted acid). The effect of substrate particle size on xylanase and carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase) production by the selected and identified strain was then investigated.

Waste valorization as low-cost media engineering for auxin production from the newly isolated Streptomyces rubrogriseus AW22: Model development.

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) represents a crucial phytohormone regulating specific tropic responses in plants and functions as a chemical signal between plant hosts and their symbionts. The Actinobacteria strain of AW22 with high IAA production ability was isolated in Algeria for the first time and was characterized as Streptomyces rubrogriseus through chemotaxonomic analysis and 16 S rDNA sequence alignment. The suitable medium for a maximum IAA yield was engineered in vitro and in silico using machine learning-assisted modeling.

Yellow laccase produced by Trametes versicolor K1 on tomato waste: A comparative study with the blue one produced on semi-synthetic medium.

Laccase production by fungal growth on agrifood waste is still poorly studied. Trametes versicolor K1 isolated from palm bark produced a yellow non glycosylated laccase from tomato waste based medium (TMT) and a blue glycosylated laccase on glucose medium (GLU). Lignocellulosic biomass, such as pinecones (PIN), palm leaves (PLM), olive pomace (OLV), and alfa stems (ALF) have also been used as growth medium for T.

Production of a halotolerant endo-1,4-β-glucanase by a newly isolated Bacillus velezensis H1 on olive mill wastes without pretreatment: purification and characterization of the enzyme.

Facing the critical issue of high production costs for cellulase, numerous studies have focused on improving the efficiency of cellulase production by potential cellulolytic microorganisms using agricultural wastes as substrates, extremophilic cellulases, in particular, are crucial in the biorefinery process because they can maintain activity under harsh environmental conditions. This study aims to investigate the ability of a potential carboxymethylcellulose-hydrolyzing bacterial strain H1, isolated from an Algerian saline soil and identified as Bacillus velezensis, to use untreated olive mill wastes as a substrate for the production of an endo-1,4-β-glucanase. The enzyme was purified 44.
