“…In the FGDs, participants stated 'I think the literacy of the majority of citizens to understand the technology and lack of proper facilities will affect the railway development process, because most of the technology for the project will be transported from China…' Focus group discussion 2, 5 individuals (FGD2, P5). Several studies (Singh, Kemausuor, and Wooldridge 2018;Vinuesa et al 2020;Wang et al 2018) have instigated that the lack of modern technology in some developing countries like Ghana negatively hinder the progress to achieve the sustainable development through infrastructure growth. Hence, until the importation or the establishment of relevant technology is obtained, infrastructure development to achieve sustainable development will be a thing of struggle for Ghana (World Health Organization 2015).…”

There is limited understanding concerning the practicable challenges that could impede the developmental process of railway infrastructure projects, and the possible negative effect of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) technology in Ghana. Given that the majority of the population are unfamiliar with the newly planned railway system. Our research intends to contribute towards the development of human capital and elevating the standard of living through the assertion of productive policies to ensure rapid infrastructure development by highlighting not only the socio-economic impact, but the negative impact of the railway infrastructure in the society. Also, this study discusses the possible challenges that could hinder the railway infrastructure development process. This study employs face-to-face interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) interview sessions that assimilate 35 respondents. Data collected is transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically. The findings reveal that corruption, unstable political discourse, lack of modern technology, and the impact of the Covid19 pandemic are among the critical challenges to hinder the progress and completion of the railway infrastructure development. By-laws should be designated ensuring that every uncompleted national project must be completed and not abandoned by the successive governments regardless of political differences.

“…In a concentration of 100% − 90% or less than 70%, it has a lesser effect than a concentration of 70%. Disinfection of devices such as oral and rectal thermometers, laryngoscopes, laboratory desks, external surfaces of devices and equipment such as ventilators, suction, medical pressure gauges can be done with this disinfectant [ 17 ]. Alcohol-based disinfectants are also available, which is a combination of alcohol or alcohol solution and another agent (hexachlorophene, quaternary ammonium compounds, triclosan or chlorhexidine gluconate).…”

Background Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is able to cause infections in immunocompromised patients, and the treatment of this opportunistic pathogen is complicated due to its virulence factors, antibiotic resistance, and the ability of the bacteria to produce biofilm. The main goals of this study were to assess the susceptibility of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) isolates to ethanol and EDTA, and evaluating the synergistic effect of these disinfectants, and also survey the effect of exposure to sub-inhibitory concentrations of ethanol and EDTA on the expression of biofilm-producing smf-1, rpfF genes. Results The results showed that EDTA significantly increased the effectiveness of the ethanol and have a synergistic effect. All of the 10 XDR isolates included in the current study harbored smf-1 and rpfF genes and produced biofilm. After exposure to MIC, sub-MIC, synergism, and sub-synergism of ethanol and EDTA, the expression of smf-1 and rpfF genes was repressed significantly. Conclusion In the current study, it was indicated that the expression of biofilm-producing genes was repressed when bacteria are exposed to different concentrations of ethanol and EDTA. Future studies should include more complex microbial communities residing in the hospitals, and more disinfectants use in hospitals. Expression of other virulence genes in different conditions is suggested.
