Deliverable [D4.1] Techno-economic sustainability analysis methodology on resources for bio-based products, conversion routes and end-of-life alternative valorisation options
<p>Techno-economic sustainability analysis (TESA) is a methodology framework to evaluate the performance of a process under technical and economic perspective. A process can be divided into three main sections, the resources required for bio-based products, the conversion routes for the production and finally, the end-of-life alternative valorisation options. Consequently, TESA is carried out separately in the three sections and evaluates the likelihood of their different technology scales and applications and their economic feasibility.</p>
Do alternative resources dampen functional responses of native but not alien gammarids?
<p>While aquatic invasive predators are among the most impactful trophic groups, we lack understanding of whether alternative food resources mediate adverse predatory effects and stabilise native prey communities. Here, we use comparative functional responses to examine the influence of alternative food resources (Fucus sp.) on predator-prey interaction strengths from three gammarid crustaceans, with one native (<em>Gammarus locusta</em>) and two existing and emerging invasive (<em>Gammarus tigrinus, Pontogammarus maeoticus</em>, respectively) species, towards larval chironomid prey. All gammarids exhibited Type II functional responses, irrespective of the presence of alternative seaweed disks. <em>Fucus </em>sp. disks significantly reduced predation rates overall, however, significant reductions in maximum feeding rates (i.e. functional response magnitudes) were only evident in the native species and not for the two invaders. Our results thus may suggest that alternative resources dampen the predatory interaction strength of native but not invasive alien species, concerning these three study organisms. This potentially exacerbates impacts of invasive predators relative to natives in diverse communities. Studies should increasingly consider alternative resources when quantifying ecological impacts of current and future invasive alien species compared to natives.</p>

Complementary and Alternative Medicine Use and its Impact on Quality of Life among Cancer Patients in Freetown, Sierra Leone: Considerations for a Resource-Limited Setting
<p> </p> <p><span>Cancer patients are increasingly resorting to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to alleviate the effects of the disease and enhance their quality of life (QoL). However, to our knowledge, no study has investigated CAM use and its impact on QoL in patients with cancer in Sierra Leone. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of and associated factors with CAM use, and compare the quality of life between CAM users and non-users.</span></p> <p><span>This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at three health facilities in Freetown viz Connaught Hospital Ola During Children's Hospital, and the Water and Stone Clinic. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews, using an adapted questionnaire. The QoL was assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer tool. Descriptive analysis was employed, and binary logistic regression tests were used to explore the associated factors of CAM use, with statistical significance set at p<0.05.</span></p> <p><span>In total, 204 participants completed the study. The prevalence of CAM use was 48.5%. Among the various CAMs examined in this study, herbal medicines (48.8%) followed by special foods (19.4%) were the most commonly used forms of CAM. The primary reason for CAM use was the management of cancer complications (43.4%). Over half of the CAM users did not disclose their CAM use to their doctors (53.5%). There was a statistically significant association between CAM use and tertiary education (AOR=2.68, 95%CI=1.31-5.49, p=0.007) and chemotherapy treatment (AOR=1.91, 95%CI= 1.06-3.46, p=0.032). There was no considerable impact of CAM on QoL, although financial difficulty was statistically significant among CAM users compared with non-CAM users.</span></p> <p><span>This study revealed that CAM use is prevalent among cancer patients, with herbal medicines being the most commonly used form, followed by special foods and prayers. <span> </span>Patients primarily obtain information about CAM from family, friends, and relatives, and most do not discuss CAM use with their doctors. Tertiary education and chemotherapy were found to be predictors of CAM use. Regarding the impact of CAM on QoL, only financial difficulty was statistically significant.</span></p>
