The objectives of the Fifth International BoLA Workshop were to: standardize nomenclature, compare typing methods, and characterize BoLA haplotypes. The workshop was based on the distribution of blood samples (cells) from 60 selected cattle to 14 laboratories. Results for the class I (BoLA-A) region are presented in this paper while results for the class II regions are presented in a separate report. Thirty-six of the 50 previously established serological class I specificities were represented in the cell panel. However, only 30 specificities could be confirmed. Two specificities, A16 and A32, were upgraded from provisional, workshop (w) specificities to BoLA-A locus specificities and three new specificities, w51(w28), w52 and w53(w28), were defined. The 39 specificities distinguished 30 class I haplotypes in the 60 animals. Class I isoelectric focusing proved to be a useful adjunct to the serology. Isoelectric focusing confirmed several serologically defined splits and detected splits of A15(A8), A18(A6) and A22(w49) that had not been detected by serology. Subsequently, serological support for splits of A15(A8) and A22(w49) was found.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on how families of children with neurodisabilities in England experienced changes in health, education, and social care services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • It involved qualitative interviews with 48 parent carers and 9 young people, revealing significant disruptions in communication and access to services.
  • Four key themes emerged: poor communication of changes, varying access to services, detrimental impacts on families, and recommendations for future emergencies.

Papua New Guinea lacks data characterising the sexual health needs of younger key populations (KP): female sex workers (FSW) and commercially and sexually exploited girls (CSE), men who have sex with men (MSM), and transgender women (TGW). Biobehavioural surveys among KP were conducted in three cities. We conducted unweighted and weighted analysis for sample and population proportions, respectively.

Aim: To seek consensus on recommendations for the delivery of services to disabled children in England during future emergencies.

Method: Candidate recommendations were drafted based on our related mapping review and qualitative research related to experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Iterative workshops with professionals and parent carers helped to refine the recommendations.

Structural Design of Hybrid Manganese(II) Halides for High Quantum Efficiency and Specific Response to Methanol.

Inorg Chem

November 2024

Key Laboratory of Colloid and Interface Chemistry (Ministry of Education), Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong Province 250100, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Manganese(II) halides have emerged as promising optoelectronic materials with impressive luminescent properties but previously lacked high quantum efficiency solvent-responsive variants.
  • The study describes the synthesis of three single crystals with Bola-type cations that show bright green light emissions and high quantum yields due to a large Mn···Mn distance.
  • Notably, one crystal exhibited a unique ability to switch its emission color from green to red in response to methanol, highlighting potential applications in selective methanol detection through reversible luminescence changes.

The use of pesticides has led to environmental pollution and posed a global health risk, since they remain as residues on foods. Beans one of the most widely cultivated crop in Africa, and susceptible to attack by insects both on field and during storage, leading to the application of pesticides to control pests' infestation. However, misuse of these chemicals by farmers on beans has resulted in the rejection of beans exported to European countries, due to the presence of pesticide residues at concentrations higher than the maximum residues levels (MRLs).
