Interventions to enhance corporate sector engagement in tuberculosis response in Africa: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant public health crisis in Africa. TB control programmes implemented by various state and non-state actors in different African countries over the years have recorded significant gains in the reduction of the incidence and prevalence of TB through the vehicle of private care provider engagement in the diagnosis, treatment and care. However, the corporate sector, which often represents a large pool of resources and access to individuals, is neglected or underestimated in the public-private mix of TB control efforts.

Arterial stiffness after 6 weeks postdelivery in women with a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: a systematic review protocol.

Introduction: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. The risk of developing cardiovascular diseases following HDP is high. Arterial stiffness is a prognostic indicator for cardiovascular disease in the general population, and it is elevated during pregnancy in women with HDP.

Modification of Flexible Electrodes for P-Type (Nickel Oxide) Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Performance Based on the Cellulose Nanofiber Film.

The preparation of flexible electrode, including working electrode (WE) and counter electrode (CE), for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) utilizing metal oxides using environmentally friendly sustainable TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNFs) is reported in this work. A new type of flexible electrode for the DSSCs, which were made of cellulose nanofiber composites with nickel hydroxide [CNF/Ni(OH)] substrate films and cellulose nanofiber composites with polypyrrole (CNF/PPY). Nickel hydroxide, Ni(OH), has been prepared hydrothermally in the presence of TOCNFs, [TOCNF@Ni(OH)].

Photoluminescence processes in -phase BaCa SiO:D /Tb phosphors for solid-state lighting.

The -phase BaCa SiO:D /Tb phosphors co-doped with D ( = 0.03) and Tb ( = 0.01-0.

Trivalent rare-earth-codoped silicate phosphor materials (BaCaSiO:Dy/Eu) for solid-state lighting.

Trivalent dysprosium/europium-codoped silicate phosphors (BaCaSiO:Dy/Eu) were prepared as a function of Euconcentration (= 0.03 and= 0.01-0.

Effect of annealing temperature on structural, optical, and photocatalytic properties of titanium dioxide nanoparticles.

Titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles (NPs) were produced by simple sol-gel technique and annealed for 2 h in air. The impact of annealing temperature on the physical, morphological, photocatalytic, and optical properties was studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements proved that a gradual phase change from anatase to rutile occurred with increased annealing temperature.
