Given the present emphasis on climate change and CO2 emissions, it is crucial to have specific guidelines to determine and mitigate carbon footprints. The following paper seeks to estimate the carbon emissions in kg of carbon dioxide equivalent from activities at Uniza Technical College and the tree's ability to absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. The primary objective of this study is to determine how the emissions from campus trees can contribute to reducing overall carbon emissions. The methodologies e [...]

This study adapted a new interactive technology system to help six participants with intellectual disability and visual and motor impairments to exercise relevant physical responses as part of an occupational task. The task was to place objects into different containers from a sitting position. The responses, which changed across sessions, consisted of the participants (a) stretching the left arm and shoulder to place objects in a container located to their left, (b) stretching the right arm and shoulder to place o [...]

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology mitigates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, comprehensive studies assessing the sustainability of coal-based power generation (CBPG) with CCS remain limited. This study focuses on developing comparative sustainability indicators across the entire life cycle of CBPG integrated with CCS technology. Sixty-six pathways were analyzed after establishing five sustainability indicators for each. These indicators were standardized per megawatt-hour (MWh) of energy, encompas [...]

Data from the present study indicate that the neonicotinoid insecticides Nuprid 200 SL (with the active substance imidacloprid) and Calypso 480 SC (with the active substance thiacloprid) reduce the mitotic activity by inhibiting cell division and increasing chromosomal aberrations in the cells of the root apical meristem of Allium cepa L. The tested solutions of pesticides cause a wide range of anomalies associated with disorders in forming the cell's division apparatus and the integrity of chromosomes. The compara [...]

Potocki-Lupski syndrome (PTLS) is a recurrent microduplication syndrome characterized by developmental delay, behavioral abnormalities, mildly dysmorphic facial features, hypotonia, and sleep disorders. We report here a 3-year-old girl diagnosed with mosaic PTLS harboring a supernumerary marker chromosome containing the RAI1 (retinoic acid induced 1) gene. Cytogenetic testing, including chromosomal microarray, karyotype, and FISH analysis, identified a ring chromosome containing portions of chromosomes 14 and 17 in [...]
