Antimicrobial Peptides and Bacteriophages as Next-Generation Alternatives to Conventional Antibiotics
Abstract: The growing threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has underscored the urgent need for innovative alternatives to conventional antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and bacteriophages are gaining recognition as next-generation therapeutics due to their distinct mechanisms of action and ability to target resistant pathogens effectively. AMPs, which can be natural or synthetic, disrupt microbial membranes and offer broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity with a reduced likelihood of resistance development. Bacteriophages, as bacteria-specific viruses, provide precise …

Fraud Detection in Government Procurement Using Machine Learning
Abstract: Fraud represents a significant challenge in the realm of procurement, with estimates indicating that between 12 and 30% of global procurement budgets are lost to fraudulent activities (OECD, 2023). The pervasive nature of procurement fraud, which may encompass a range of deceptive practices such as bid rigging, invoice fraud, and procurement kickbacks, not only undermines the integrity of financial operations but also results in substantial losses for organizations. These losses …

Viral Chronicles: The Ever-Evolving Saga of COVID-19
Abstract: Coronaviruses, belonging to the family of RNA viruses, have recently captured global attention owing to their remarkable ability to infect a diverse array of species, ranging from animals to humans. These viral agents, recognized by their characteristic crown-like morphology when observed through electron microscopy, have a historical association with zoonotic diseases. Previous examples include Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV). The term "Corona" …

Soil Erosion and Sediment Export in Berta Watershed Using GIS and USLE Model in Central Rift Valley Basin, Ethiopia: Implications for Sustainable Natural Resources Management
Abstract: Soil erosion and sedimentation of lake due to runoff is a major problem in Southern Ethiopia. Berta watershed is one of the watersheds in Rift valley Basin, contributing runoff to small Abaya (Tuffa) lake. However, no studies have been conducted on soil erosion and sediment yield from the entire watershed. Therefore, an updated Universal Soil Loss Model and Geographic Information System have been used to start the current study, which …
