The economic burden, patients' well-being, and social determinants related to diabetes in South Africa by Hellebo, Assegid

“…The specific objectives are: firstly, to use population life table modelling to estimate the impact of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on the South African population, particularly in terms of productivity-adjusted life of years (PALYs) metric; secondly, to review and synthesise information regarding the costs and cost-effectiveness of managing T2D in SSA to enhance awareness, optimise resource allocation, and support evidence-based decision-making; thirdly, to investigate the role of social determinants of health (SDoH) in diabetes self-care management practices, emphasising the importance of maintaining optimal glycemic control; and lastly, to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and associated factors among people with diabetes in South Africa; lastly, to develop locally relevant utility score valuations for more accurate economic evaluations and healthcare decision-making in South Africa. …”

The feasibility of a commercial-scale recirculating aquaculture system integrating sea urchins (Tripneustes gratilla) and seaweed (Ulva) by De Vos, Sebastiaan

“…It has been proposed that the highly valued sea urchin, Tripneustes gratilla, and the green macroalga, Ulva, could be suitable co-candidates for a land-based recirculating Integrated MultiTrophic Aquaculture (IMTA) system. This IMTA system is suggested to be sustainable and efficient, primarily because the Ulva would simultaneously provide bioremediation of effluent and a substantial feed source for T. gratilla. …”
