There are several types of botulism including food-borne, wound, infant, adult intestinal, iatrogenic, and inhalational. Symptoms include cranial nerve palsies causing double vision and difficulty swallowing, followed by symmetric flaccid paralysis. Diagnosis involves isolating the bacteria or detecting the toxin. Treatment requires supportive care in intensive care and administration of botulinum antitoxin to prevent progression of paralysis. Proper food preservation and safe injection practices can help prevent certain types of botulism.
Clostridium botulinum 1.pdf
Clostridium botulinum is a gram-positive, anaerobic bacterium that produces the botulinum toxin, one of the most potent neurotoxins known. It forms spores that are found worldwide in soil and can contaminate foods. The toxin blocks acetylcholine release at neuromuscular junctions, causing flaccid paralysis that may lead to death if not treated. Treatment involves administering an antitoxin and supporting organ function. Proper food handling and cooking can prevent botulism.

Botulism and tetanus vaccination program
Botulism is caused by a toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria under low-oxygen conditions. There are several forms of botulism including foodborne, infant, and wound botulism. Symptoms include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, dry mouth, and muscle weakness. Diagnosis involves physical examination showing neurological signs and testing of feces, vomit, food, or wound samples. Treatment focuses on antitoxin administration and respiratory support, while prevention centers on proper food handling and wound care.
Neurotoxins in Food
This document discusses various neurotoxins that can contaminate food, including their sources and effects. It focuses on botulinum toxin, which is produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria and commonly found in improperly canned foods. It acts by blocking the release of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions, causing flaccid paralysis. Other neurotoxins discussed include tetrodotoxin from pufferfish and conotoxins from snails, as well as toxic metals like mercury, aluminum, and lead that can contaminate foods. The document emphasizes that following good manufacturing practices is key to avoiding neurotoxin proliferation in foods.
Cl.botulinum
- Clostridium botulinum is a rod-shaped, anaerobic bacterium found in soil that produces botulinum toxin. It forms spores which allow it to survive unfavorable conditions.
- The toxin acts by blocking the release of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions, causing flaccid paralysis. There are 7 types of toxin (A-G) which cause different forms of botulism in humans and animals.
- Botulism results from ingesting foods containing preformed toxin, with symptoms beginning 18-24 hours later such as visual disturbances, difficulty swallowing and speaking. Treatment involves antitoxin administration and supportive care.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

https://www.etran.rs/2024/en/home-english/The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

Clostridium botulinum
- 1. CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM B Y M D . A S H FA Q A Z I Z D E PA R T M E N T O F M I C R O B I O L O G Y P R I M E A S I A U N I V E R S I T Y
- 2. INTRODUCTION • Clostridium botulinum is a Gram-positive, rodshaped bacterium that produces several toxins. The best known are its neurotoxins, subdivided in types A-G, that cause the flaccid muscular paralysis seen in botulism. They are also the main paralytic agent in botox. C. Botulinum is an anaerobic spore-former, which produces oval, sub terminal endospores and is commonly found in soil.
- 3. MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTIC • A gram-positive, anaerobic bacilli. • Spore forming. • Toxin forming. • Heat sensitive. • Prefers low acid environment. • Cause Botulism disease.
- 4. MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTIC • Bacteria are 0.5 to 2.0 mcm in width and 1.6 to 22.0 mcm in length • Create spores that can remain dormant for 30 years or more • Spores extremely resistant to environmental stressors, such as heat and UV light
- 6. VIRULENCE FACTOR • Neurotoxin: - Liberated during growth. - Seven types of toxins (A-G). - Antigenic (light and heavy chain). - Environmental survival. (Inactivated by heat 100ºC for 20min ). - Most potential biological warfare agents. - Lethal dose= 1-2 micro gram.
- 7. VIRULENCE FACTOR • Botulinum toxin: - Botulinum toxin is synthesized as a single polypeptide chain ( low potency). - The toxin is nicked by a bacterial protease (or by gastric proteases) to produce two chains : a light chain (the A fragment) a heavy chain (the B fragment) connected by a disulfide bond. - The A fragment of the nicked toxin, becomes the most potent toxin
- 8. VIRULENCE FACTOR • Mechanism of Botulinum toxin: – Absorbed from the gut. – Binds to receptors of presynaptic membranes of motor neurons of the peripheral nervous system and cranial nerves. – Proteolysis-by the light chain of botulinum toxin of the target SNARE proteins in the neurons inhibits the release of acetylcholine at the synapse, resulting in lack of muscle contraction and paralysis. – SNARE proteins are-synaptobrevin, SNAP 25, syntaxin. – Type A and E toxin cleaves-SNAP 25. – Type B toxin cleaves synaptobrevin.
- 9. VIRULENCE FACTOR • Mechanism of Botulinum toxin: Figure: Mechanism A Figure: Mechanism B
- 10. PATHOGENESIS • Transmitted in three ways: – Food or water toxin contamination. – Wound infected with C. Botulinum. – Ingestion of C. botulinum. • Most common contaminated food: Vacuum packed, or canned alkaline food. E.g. fish, green beans, any home-canned food. • Foods eaten without cooking
- 11. PATHOGENESIS OF INFANT BOTULISM • Cause :infection by C. botulinum. • Age: 5 - 20 weeks of age. • Characterized by constipation and weak sucking. • It cause “sudden infant death syndrome-SIDS”. • Found in the stool.
- 12. SYMPTOMS • Appear in 18-24 hrs. • Include : -Blurry vision, double vision. -Thrombocytopenia. -Dry mouth. -Trouble swallowing. -Trouble breathing. -Muscle weakness. -Constipation. -Dropping eyelid. -Irritability. • Fever is not a symptom of botulism.
- 13. SIGNS OF FOOD-BORNE AND WOUND BOTULISM • Ventilatory (respiratory) problems. • Eye muscle paresis/paralysis (extra ocular, eyelid). • Dry mucous membranes in mouth/throat. • Dilated, fixed pupils. • Ataxia. • Hypotension. • Nystagmus. • Decreased to absent deep tendon reflexes.
- 14. DIAGNOSIS • Clinical diagnosis • Diagnostic tests help confirm – Toxin neutralization mouse bioassay • Serum, stool, or suspect foods – Infant botulism • C. botulinum organism or toxin in feces • Testing is done in Reference laboratories under Biosafety regulations
- 15. TREATMENT • Passive immunization - equine antitoxin – Antibodies to Types A, B and E toxins. – Binds and inactivates circulating toxin. – Stops further damage but doesn’t reverse. • Heptavalent antitoxin – Investigational. – Effective against all toxins.
- 16. TREATMENT • Antitoxin action – Food-borne botulism • Neutralizing antibody levels exceed toxin levels • Single dose adequate – Large exposure (e.g. biological weapon) • can confirm adequacy of neutralization – recheck toxin levels after treatment • Antitoxin adverse effects – Serum sickness (2-9%), anaphylaxis (2%)
- 17. THANK YOU
