    Abstract Undernourishment is still widespread in Tanzania, while obesity is becoming an issue of magnitude similar to undernutrition in the country. In this paper we examined the impact of an increase in maize prices on the nutritional status of Tanzania's adult population. We found that undernutrition increases as a result of increased prices, while the overweight and obese decrease their energy intake. The study presents evidences of the so called early stage of the nutritional transition that characterize developing countries. All in all, these findings are suggestive of the fact that food price shocks should be taken into consideration when designing policy and programmes aiming at addressing malnutrition in low income countries.

    Abstract Sb₂Se₃ thin films have received increasing interest for their applications in optoelectronics. However, technological intervention demands a material-specific understanding of the reactivity to different environments. Both thermal annealing and laser irradiation carried out in an ambient atmosphere are expected to induce changes in the pristine crystallographic phase of Sb₂Se₃, causing the creation of additional secondary phases. Here, we investigate by means of Raman spectroscopy the effect of thermal annealing and laser irradiation at different fluencies on the structural and vibrational properties of Sb₂Se₃ thin films. The vacuum-annealed Sb₂Se₃ thin films at 290 °C and subjected to laser excitation power above 2 mW exhibit a secondary phase, revealing the occurrence of selenization. Further, in situ X-ray diffraction over a broad range of annealing temperatures in N₂ and ambient atmospheres was employed to study the structural properties of the Sb₂Se₃ thin films. In situ XRD performed in a N₂ atmosphere does not show the formation of the Sb₂O₃ cubic phase upon annealing until 500 °C. Conversely, a thermally activated systematic crystallization was observed upon annealing in an ambient atmosphere with the formation of the Sb₂O₃ phase in the temperature range between 280 and 420 °C, until the complete decomposition of the material at 500 °C. Further, the orientation of vertically stacked (hk1) planes remains unchanged under a N₂ atmosphere, while horizontally stacked (hk0) planes dominate the (hk1) planes under ambient atmospheres.

    Abstract Encapsulation is a valuable strategy to protect and deliver anthocyanins (ACNs), phenolic compounds with outstanding antioxidant capacity but limited stability. In this study, coacervation was used to encapsulate an ACN-rich red cabbage extract (RCE). Two agri-food by-product polymers, whey protein isolate (WPI) and apple high-methoxyl pectin (HMP), were blended at pH 4.0 in a specific ratio to induce the formation of nanoparticles (NPs). The process optimisation yielded a monodispersed population (PDI < 0.200) of negatively charged (-17 mV) NPs with an average diameter of 380 nm. RCE concentration influenced size, charge, and antioxidant capacity in a dose-dependent manner. NPs were also sensitive to pH increases from 4 to 7, showing a progressive breakdown. The encapsulation efficiency was 30%, with the retention of ACNs within the polymeric matrix being influenced by their chemical structure: diacylated and/or C3-triglucoside forms were more efficiently encapsulated than monoacylated C3-diglucosides. In conclusion, we report a promising, simple, and sustainable method to produce monodispersed NPs for ACN encapsulation and delivery. Evidence of differential binding of ACNs to NPs, dependent on specific acylation/glycosylation patterns, indicates that care must be taken in the choice of the appropriate NP formulation for the encapsulation of phenolic compounds.

    Abstract Exposure to low ozone concentrations is used in medicine as an adjuvant/complementary treatment for a variety of diseases. The therapeutic potential of low ozone concentrations relies on their capability to increase the nuclear translocation of the Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), thus inducing the transcription of Antioxidant Response Elements (ARE)-driven genes and, through a cascade of events, a general cytoprotective response. However, based on the controversial role of Nrf2 in cancer initiation, progression and resistance to therapies, possible negative effects of ozone therapy may be hypothesised in oncological patients. With the aim to elucidate the possible changes in morphology, migration capability and proliferation of cancer cells following mild ozone exposure, we performed wound healing experiments in vitro on HeLa cells treated with low ozone concentrations currently used in the clinical practice. By combining a multimodal microscopy approach (light and fluorescence microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy) with morphometric analyses, we demonstrated that, under our experimental conditions, exposure to low ozone concentrations does not alter cytomorphology, motility and proliferation features, thus supporting the notion that ozone therapy should not positively affect tumour cell growth and metastasis.
