Abstract	Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of small, multifunctional nodes distributed across various locations to monitor and record parameters. These nodes store data and transmit signals for further processing, forming a crucial topic of study. Monitoring the network's status in WSN applications using clustering systems is essential. Collaboration among sensors from various domains enhances the precision of localised information reporting. However, nodes closer to the data sink consume more energy, leading to hotspot challenges. To address these challenges, this research employs clustering and optimised routing techniques. The aggregation of information involves creating clusters, further divided into sub-clusters. Each cluster includes a Cluster Head (CH) or Sensor Nodes (SN) without a CH. Clustering inherently optimises CHs' capabilities, enhances network activity, and establishes a systematic network topology. This model accommodates both multi-hop and single-hop systems. This research focuses on selecting CHs using a Genetic Algorithm (GA), considering various factors. While GA possesses strong exploration capabilities, it requires effective management. This research uses Prairie Dog Optimization (PDO) to overcome this challenge. The proposed Hotspot Mitigated Prairie with Genetic Algorithm (HM-PGA) significantly improves WSN performance, particularly in hotspot avoidance. With HM-PGA, it achieves a network lifetime of 20913 milliseconds and 310 joules of remaining energy. Comparative analysis with existing techniques demonstrates the superiority of the proposed approach.

Abstract	Lower limb amputation (LLA) is a major surgical procedure with a significant impact on quality of life and mortality rates as well. Previous studies have shown that mortality rates following LLA can range from 9-17% within 30 days in the UK. This study systematically evaluates and reviews the published literature on life expectancy, mortality, and survival rates following lower extremity amputation (LEA). We have conducted a comprehensive search on Medline, CINAHL, and Cochrane Central databases resulting in 87 full-text articles. After a thorough review, only 45 (52.9%) articles met the minimum inclusion criteria for the study. Our analysis indicated 30-day mortality rates following LEA ranged from 7.1% to 51.4%, with an average mortality rate of 16.45% (SD 14.35) per study. Furthermore, 30-day mortality rates following below-knee amputation (BKA) and above-knee amputation (AKA) were found to be between 6.2% to 51.4%, X= 17.16% ± 19.46 SD and 12.7 to 21.7%, X= 16.15% ± 4.17 SD, respectively. Our review provides a comprehensive insight into the life expectancy, mortality, and survival rates following LEA. These findings highlight the importance of considering various factors, including patient age, presence of comorbidities such as diabetes, heart failure, and renal failure, and lifestyle factors such as smoking, in determining prognosis following LLA. Further research is necessary to determine strategies for improving outcomes and reducing mortality in this patient population.

Abstract	Zinc oxide (ZnO) has several industrial applications due to its versatile properties, which lead to its continuously increasing demand in different industrial sectors. Additionally, ZnO nanostructures possess unique photocatalytic activity, and because of this, they are being applied to degrade organic dyes through photocatalysis for wastewater treatment. Nevertheless, chemical synthesis methods to develop ZnO nanostructures have raised concerns related to environmental issues, furthermore, these methods are found to be costly and tedious. As a result, the synthesis of ZnO nanostructures using green methods is gaining popularity due to its low cost and eco-friendly mode, while avoiding the use of toxic chemicals. Green synthesis of ZnO nanostructures using different biological approaches involving plants, algae, and different microorganism-derived bioactive compounds has been well reported for diverse applications. Among different applications, ZnO nanostructures that enable photocatalysis to degrade dye have been found to be imperative for wastewater treatments. Therefore, the current review explores recent studies on green synthesis approaches to prepare ZnO nanostructures via adopting different biological methods that rely on plants, algae, and bacterial microorganisms. The properties of ZnO nanostructures, along with their green synthesis routes and feasible mechanisms, have also been discussed in this review. This review focuses on the use and efficiency of green route synthesized ZnO nanostructures as nanophotocatalysts for the degradation of organic dyes in wastewater treatment. Additionally, existing challenges in green synthesis methods and the efficiency of ZnO nanostructures to degrade organic dyes following photocatalysis has been discussed.

Abstract	Massive utilizations of chemical fertilizer in agriculture sector to improve the farming productivity have created increasing possibility of environmental damages. Severe human health issues, global warming, poor fertility and high cost of soil maintenance are the major side effects of the utilizations of inorganic fertilizers and needs immediate attention. To overcome these issues, agriculture farming has been shifted towards the development of organic fertilizers using natural bio-resources. Organic fertilizers have several advantages like low-cost, being produced from the renewable resources and are highly efficient to improve the productivity of soil and agriculture product, rapidly. Additionally, bio-fertilizers not only increase the production, nutrients and organic matter but also neutralize the harmful impacts caused by the chemical fertilizers due to the potential combination of the microorganisms with organic wastes. Food wastes have tremendous potential to enhance the production of bio-fertilizers because these wastes are present in bio-degradable forms and may efficiently accelerate the activity of the microbial metabolic. Thus, the present review summarizes an overview of the production strategy of bio-fertilizers using the combination of food wastes and microorganisms. Further, in depth discussion have been done about the microbial digestion of food wastes to produce biofertilizer along with discussions about the possible mechanisms involved therein. Plant growth promoting microorganisms and their mechanisms have been also analyzed in the present review along with the existing limitations and sustainable future prospective.

Abstract	Applications of thermostable enzymes in various industries are highly demanding, and considered as one of the most feasible solutions to gain the high productivity of the related bio-processing. Nevertheless, cost-intensive production of enzymes with low reactivity and stability make them non-suitable for different sustainable industrial applications. Focusing on this aspect, the present study deals with the sustainable and low-cost green synthesis of Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) using rice straw extract as the food waste which function as the natural reducing reagent and investigates the utility of IONPs to improve the thermo-stability of enzyme. Herein, physiochemical properties of newly synthesized IONPs have been analyzed through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). Moreover, impact of green route synthesized IONPs is studied to improve the thermal stability of commercially available endo-glucanase (EG) enzyme as a model system. It is noticed that IONPs significantly supported to enhance the thermal stability of EG enzyme, wherein enzyme exhibited thermal stability at 70 °C up to 15 h, and suggesting high potential of thermally stable enzyme for numerous industrial applications.

Abstract	Tuberculosis is one of the first most common causes of death in the world alongside HIV/AIDS, causing considerable mortality globally. Tuberculosis is also accompanied by hematological alterations although the alteration related to the disease is not well determined yet and showed variation in different studies. This study aimed at evaluating hematological profiles in pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Metema hospital and Gondar referral Hospital, North West Ethiopia. A case-control study design was conducted from January to July 2018. A total of 88 blood samples (44 from cases and 44 from control groups) were collected. The collected blood samples were tested using a Hematology analyzer (Sysmex) for hematological profiles. The mean+standard deviation of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell count of the cases were significantly lower than the control groups (P< 0.05). However, platelet and total white blood cell counts; and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were significantly increased as compared with control groups (p<0.05). Body mass index had significant positive associations with red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit (P < 0.05). Pulmonary Tuberculosis patients in this study showed hematological profile abnormalities; where the red blood cell count, hematocrit and hemoglobin were significantly reduced. However, the total white blood cell count, thrombocyte, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate of tuberculosis patients were significantly elevated than control groups. The factors associated with hematological profile alterations require a due attention to prevent further complications and further studies should be conducted.

Abstract	The human body normally uses alternative materials such as implants to replace injured or damaged bone. Fatigue fracture is a common and serious type of damage in implant materials. Therefore, a deep understanding and estimation or prediction of such loading modes, which are influenced by many factors, is of great importance and attractiveness. In this study, the fracture toughness of Ti-27Nb, a well-known implant titanium alloy biomaterial, was simulated using an advanced finite element subroutine. Furthermore, a robust direct cyclic finite element fatigue model based on a fatigue failure criterion derived from Paris' law is used in conjunction with an advanced finite element model to estimate the initiation of fatigue crack growth in such materials under ambient conditions. The R-curve was fully predicted, yielding a minimum percent error of less than 2% for fracture toughness and less than 5% for fracture separation energy. This provides a valuable technique and data for fracture and fatigue performance of such bio-implant materials. Fatigue crack growth was predicted with a minimum percent difference of less than nine for compact tensile test standard specimens. The shape and mode of material behaviour have a significant effect on the Paris law constant. The fracture modes showed that the crack path is in two directions. The finite element direct cycle fatigue method was recommended to determine the fatigue crack growth of biomaterials.

Abstract	Microsponges are promising drug delivery carriers with versatile characteristics and controlled release properties for the delivery of a wide range of drugs. The microsponges will provide an optimized therapeutic effect, when delivered at the site of action without rupturing, then releasing the cargo at the predetermined time and area. The ability of the microsponges to effectively deliver the drug in a controlled manner depends on the material composition. This comprehensive review entails knowledge on the design parameters of an optimized microsponge drug delivery system and the controlled release properties of microsponges that reduces the side effects of drugs. Furthermore, the review delves into the fabrication techniques of microsponges, the mechanism of drug release from the microsponges, and the regulatory requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the successful marketing of microsponge formulation. The review also examines the patented formulations of microsponges. The prospects of these sophisticated drug delivery systems for improved clinical outcomes are highlighted
