Advanced oxidation induced by cold plasma under the high voltage electrical barrier discharge exhibits a wide use in practice due to be able to produce very high concentrations of reactive oxygen species with short and long life. The reactive oxygen species generated include free radicals (•OH) and other oxidative reagents like ozone, hydrogen peroxide. The quantification of these oxidative components is truly imperative to application in wastewater treatment to design plasma reactors. The concentrations of these species might be determined by many methods.

This study aims to evaluate parenting stress and resilience, to cross-reference quantitative and qualitative ISD variables with the Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and total stress and resilience factors, and to investigate if there is a predictive model for high stress and high resilience. A total of 92 parents of children with cerebral palsy participated in this study. The instruments used were the Socio-demographic Inventory (ISD), the Parenting Stress Index (PSI/SF) and the CD-RISC.

To evaluate the host-feeding preference of Cx. quinquefasciatus in southern Benin, a cross-sectional study was carried out in five neighborhoods, two at Cotonou and three at Porto-Novo, from December 2017 to March 2018. In each neighborhood, 4 inhabited houses were selected as mosquito catching sites. The collection of mosquitoes was conducted by pyrethrum spray captures (PSC) from 07:00am to 9:00am every morning and twice a week.

Objectives: To analyze the effects of a treatment with bark flour of passion fruit in people with metabolic syndrome.
