Pentecostal church leaders’ support to children in need of care and protection by Andrew Spaumer, Azwihangwisi H. Mavhandu-Mudzusi

“…In order to enhance the support provided the children in need of care and protection, by religious leaders within Pentecostal churches, it is recommended that religious leaders are well informed about the role of different members of multidisciplinary teams such as social workers, psychologists, police officers, parents and other community structures. Moreover, there should be formalised collaboration and referral processes that will ensure that the child’s rights are not further violated in the process of provision of support. …”

Smaller sizes of polyethylene terephthalate microplastics mainly stimulate heterotrophic N2O production in aerobic granular sludge systems by Yingrui Liu, Yanying He, Qian Lu, Tingting Zhu, Yufen Wang, Yindong Tong, Yingxin Zhao, Bing-Jie Ni, Yiwen Liu

“…Mainstream aerobic granular sludge (AGS) systems possess potentially strong N2O-sink capability, which may be reduced by PET MPs stress through altering N2O-contributing pathways, electron transfer, and microbial community structures. In this study, the effects of PET MPs with two common particle sizes of effluent from WWTPs (0.1 and 0.5 mm) on N2O turnovers, production pathways and N2O-sink capability were systematically disclosed in AGS systems by a series of biochemical tests and molecular biological means to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality. …”
