Enhanced electricity generation and organic matter degradation during three-chamber bioelectrochemically assisted anaerobic composting of dewatered sludge
Composting microbial fuel cells can generate electricity from recycled organic waste at accelerated degradation rates. However, the problem of high internal resistance (Rint), which results in low power density, is a technical obstacle related to this process, and the preferential conversion of the organic fraction by bioelectrogenesis remains unclear. -

Hazards among tigernut (Cyprus eculentus) farmers in Aduamoa in the Kwahu south district, Eastern region, Ghana
Tigernut production in Ghana is associated with high levels of manual labour and little use of machinery. Men and women in tigernut farming play a significant role in the various farm tasks associated with tigernut (Cyperus esculentus) production in the Eastern Region of Ghana. A survey of 100 tigernut farmers (50 male and 50 female) in Aduamoa in the Eastern Region of Ghana was carried out to ascertain the leading occupational hazards and injuries faced by the tigernut farmers during preplanting and planting, post-planting, harvesting and post-harvest operations.
