Globally, innovations for HIV response present exciting opportunities to enhance the impact and cost-effectiveness of any HIV program. However, countries especially in the African region are not on equal footing to effectively harness some of the existing innovations to accelerate impact on HIV services delivery. This paper aims to add to the discourse on innovative solutions to support countries to make informed decisions related to technologies that can be adapted in different contexts to strengthen HIV programs. A scoping review which involved a search of innovations that can be used in response to the HIV epidemic was carried out between June 2021 and December 2022. The results showed that a high level of technological advancement occurred in the area of digital technologies and devices. Out of the 202 innovations, 90% were digital technologies, of which 34% were data collection and analytics, 45% were mobile based applications, and 12% were social media interventions. Only 10% fell into the category of devices, of which 67% were rapid diagnostic tools (RDTs) and 19% were drone-based technologies among other innovative tools. The study noted that most of the innovations that scaled relied on a strong ICT infrastructure backbone. The scoping review presents an opportunity to assess trends, offer evidence, and outline gaps to drive the adoption and adaptation of such technologies in Africa.

“…The same pattern is predicted to continue unless diabetes prevention and management interventions are taken [1]. The rising prevalence of diabetes is highly caused by the high rate of foods and drink consumption that contains high sugar and artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame, saccharin, and cyclamate [2]. Therefore exploration of natural sweetener that contains low calorie is needed.…”

Biomass Enhancement of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni Shoot Culture in Temporary Immersion System (TIS) RITA® Bioreactor Optimized in Two Different Immersion Periods

Stevia plant contains steviol glycosides, which are estimated to be 300 times sweeter than sucrose. However, conventional (in vivo) propagation of Stevia rebaudiana in Indonesia was not effective due to poor results. Therefore, an alternative method to propagate stevia plants is needed. One of them is by using in vitro method. Multiplication with a large quantity of stevia biomass in a relatively short period can be conducted by using TIS RITA® (Recipient for Automated Temporary Immersion System). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the immersion period of the medium on growth and the medium bioconversion into the production of shoot biomass. The bioreactors were set up with 15 min and 30 min immersions periods, scheduled every 6 h, and incubated for 21 d. The result indicated that the immersion period affected the biomass and growth rate (µ). Amount of 30 min immersion showed a greater percentage of shoot multiplication, higher biomass, percentage of leaf growth, growth rate, and productivity compared to 15 min immersion. The pattern of sucrose, mineral, and inorganic compounds consumption followed the growth of plant biomass for both systems. In conclusion, 30 min immersion gave a greater efficiency medium bioconversion to plant biomass compared with 15 min immersion.

“…In India, FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India), a regulatory body, recognized a variety of artificial sweeteners [17][18][19][20][21] as food additives with widespread commercial use in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Instead of fatty sugars, the food industry uses low-calorie artificial sweeteners such as Aspartame, Acesulfame K, Sodium saccharin, and Sucralose [22,23]. Blending sweeteners [24][25][26], is a standard procedure in the food and pharmaceutical industries.…”

Volumetric investigations are effective for attributing the interactions between saccharides and sodium saccharin in aqueous medium. The densities with the help of bicapillary pycnometer were measured for monosaccharide (D(-)- arabinose, D(+)galactose and D(+)-Xylose) (0.04 to 0.20) m (mol.kg-1) in water and aqueous sodium saccharin solution with molality, m = (0.05, 0.15 and 0.3) at 298.15 K. Experimental data were used to calculate the partial molar volume and apparent molar volume . The corresponding transfer volumes were calculated and showed a positive and increasing trend with concentration for saccharides from water to aqueous medium of sodium saccharin. With the help of McMillan-Mayer theory, the interaction coefficients ( ) and ( ) were calculated. In the presence of sodium saccharin, significant interactions between a hydrophilic group of saccharides and the sodium ion have been reported. Using apparent specific volume values, a sweet taste range was identified for saccharides in the presence of sodium saccharin.
