Condition Factor, Hepato-somatic Index and Gonado-somatic Index of Fish, Channa punctatus Collected from Sawan Nallaha,

Biomarkers are measurements within an organism that respond to environmental changes and are used as bio-monitoring tools that reflect physiological changes induced by exposure to pollutants. The condition factor (K), hepatosomatic index (HSI) and gonado-somatic index (GSI)of fish, Channa punctatus was used to assess the effects of industrial pollutant stress. For this study, Channa punctatus was collected from Sawan Nallaha, a small lotic waterbody in all the seasons (Summer, monsoon and Winter). Fish collected from the non-polluted site had the higher condition factor (K) HSI and GSI as compared to fish collected from polluted site that received the industrial effluent and domestic sewage. K, HSI and GSI are simple and cost-effective bio-monitoring tool and can be used in pollution monitoring.
Predicting Global Ground Geoelectric Field With Coupled Geospace and Three‐Dimensional Geomagnetic Induction Models

We forecast the global effects of space weather on the geoelectric and geomagnetic fields using a novel combination of methods. We use a realistic three‐dimensional (3‐D) model of Earth's electrical conductivity and a realistic representation of magnetospheric and ionospheric current systems. Our scheme involves the following steps: (1) We run a global magnetohydrodynamic model of the magnetosphere coupled to an electrostatic model of the ionosphere. (2) We calculate a global time series of the ground magnetic field resulting from the ionospheric, field‐aligned, and magnetospheric currents of the global magnetohydrodynamic model. (3) We approximate this external field by an equivalent source current flowing in a thin shell above Earth. (4) We calculate a global time series of geoelectric and geomagnetic fields from the equivalent current and a 3‐D conductivity model of Earth that also takes into account the coast effect due to large horizontal conductivity gradient. We verify our implementation by comparing the results against known analytic and numeric solutions, and then apply our scheme to the geomagnetic storm of 14 and 15 December 2006. In particular, we show that accounting for 3‐D structure of Earth's conductivity results in significantly enhanced geoelectric field at large lateral gradients of conductivity, especially in coastal regions, both at middle and high latitudes. In the studied geomagnetic storm the largest values of 3‐D geoelectric field are detected at high latitudes reaching 2.5 V/km and the 3‐D effect extends inland by a few hundred kilometers.

THE IMPACT OF INDUSTRY-ADJUSTED PROFITABILITY AND S-CURVE TARGETED INDUSTRY ON CAPITAL STRUCTURE: EVIDENCE FROM THAILAND

This study examines the impact of industry-adjusted profitability and S-curve targeted industries under an innovation-driven economy on firms ’ capital structures in Thailand. The results demonstrate that a superior degree of industry-adjusted profitability reduces the need for debt financing. Within the industry, franchise and harvest firms with sufficient earnings have a lower debt overhang than under-performing firms. Furthermore, the S-curve targeted industries, which typically use debt to finance their expensive investments, appear to use fewer loans when they feel pressured by the investment support policy to intensify research and development (R&D) activities. Overall, in the emerging market geared toward a new economic roadmap, firms’ capital structures are shaped by competitive performance as well as industry and policy forces.
Gardnerella vaginalis in vaginal secretions in quilombola women in the municipality of Bequimão-MA Gardnerella

The female reproductive system confers the form in which the vagina and cervix are organs that are considered complex and concentrate a considerable amount of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria of the natural vaginal microbiota. Gardnerella vaginalis plays a keys role in the development of bacterial vaginosis since the vagina is a suitable environment for its colonization, including by strictly anaerobic bacteria, which is associated with BV. Characterize the relationship between vaginal secretions and Gardnerella vaginalis infection in quilombola women. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study, about the population was formed by quilombola women between 15 and 75 years of age.

Optimization of Anthocyanin Extraction from Roselle ( Hibiscus sabdariffa ) Calyces: RSM, Kinetic Modelling, Mass Transfer and Thermodynamic Studies

Roselle calyces ( Hibiscus sabdariffa ) are becoming very important in the food and beverage industry, especially because of the presence of anthocyanin which is an antioxidant responsible for their red colour. The effect of processing parameters such as contact time, temperature and calyx-water ratio on the anthocyanin content of roselle calyces extract was studied and optimized along with evaluation of kinetic models, mass transfer and thermodynamic parameters. Extraction kinetics for anthocyanin were obtained at different time (5, 10 and 15 min), temperature (30, 50, 75 and 100  C) and calyx-water mass ratio (1:50, 1:20 and 1:10). The maximum anthocyanin yield was obtained at 15 min; 100  C and ratio of 1:10. The data obtained were fitted to 6 different extraction models and the ones that best suited the data were Weibull type, Peleg and Pseudo-second-order with Adj. R 2 of 0.98, 0.99 and 0.99 respectively. The data obtained were used to calculate the kinetic, mass transfer and thermodynamic parameters. The kinetic variables were also related to the fractional extraction or conversion model. The fractional extraction increased with increased temperature and calyx-water. The effective diffusion coefficient ranged between 1.04×10 -11 to 1.48×10 -11 m 2 /s. The mass transfer coefficient calculated ranged between 1.62×10 -8 and 11.02×10 -8 (m/s), Biot number ranges from 25 to 168. The thermodynamic properties: Activation energy ranged from 15.7 to 16.4 kJmol -1 ; the enthalpy from 36.60 to 58.30 kJmol -1 ; the entropy from 88 to 147 JK -1 mol -1 , and the Gibbs free energy from -5.80 to -11 kJmol -1 . The extraction process was observed to be endothermic, feasible and spontaneous.
Consumer Search and Product Returns

We study how a firm should design a product return policy when a consumer has uncertain match with a product but can conduct costly search to resolve this match. If processing returns is costly for the firm and consumer search cost is low enough, the firm induces consumer search such that the consumer bears the cost of finding a match. However, if search cost is high enough, then the price distortion in inducing consumer search is significant, such that the firm chooses to bear the cost of processing the return — in this case, the ability to search increases expected consumer surplus. We find conditions under which the firm may offer no return policy, a full-refund return policy or a partial-refund return policy; a partial-refund return policy arises only if search is potentially inconclusive. Our model explains a wide range of pricing and return policies used by sellers, and associated search and return behaviors of consumers.
QUANTITATIVE ETHNOBOTANICAL STUDY IN GAFARGAON SUB-DISTRICT AND UNVEILING DRUG CANDIDATES THROUGH MOLECULAR DOCKING AND DYNAMICS SIMULATION APPROACHES

An ethnobotanical investigation was carried out in Gafargaon sub-district (upazila) under Mymensingh district, Bangladesh that unveiled a total of 79 medicinal plant species under 74 genera and 46 families which were used to treat various ailments through 106 formularies. In addition, molecular docking and dynamics simulation studies were performed based on ethnobotanical outcome for the first time in Bangladesh to unveil potential drug candidates. The study revealed that most of the species used for primary healthcare were herbs (44.3%) followed by trees (36.7%), shrubs (10.2%) and climbers (8.8%). Leaves were found to be the most frequently used part (34%) compared to other plant parts. Factor of informant consensus values ranged from 0.975 to 0.984 and the highest value was recorded for respiratory tract disorders (0.984). Maximum number of taxa was unraveled to treat digestive and gastrointestinal disorders. Fidelity level varied from 41.2 to 100%, where 11 species showed 100% fidelity, and the citation frequency was found above 70% for 15 different ailments. Molecular docking study exposed 60% Stephania japonica phytocompounds scoring higher than the control drug Ibuprofen (-7.0 kcal/mol) targeting rheumatoid arthritis. The phytocompounds Oxostephanine, Trilobine and Epistephanine were identified as lead drug candidates with binding affinity of -9.7, -8.7 and -8.6 kcal/mol, respectively. Molecular interactions of these compounds were found significant to identify potential drug surface hotspots. Molecular dynamics simulation shed light on regional flexibility profiles and unraveled notable structural stability of the top three phytocompounds. The present study would offer foundational data for identifying potential bioactive compounds that could be utilized in novel drug discovery efforts.
JPPE 26권3호_4차편집(0630).hwp

Background and objective: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the psychological effect of the visual image of tropicalesque flower landscape and the preference for plants, and the effect of the importance of plants on loyalty. Methods: A survey was conducted with 105 participants who attended a symposium on tropicalesque flower landscaping, and the results were analyzed. Results: As a result of comparatively analyzing the psychological indices of plants in terms of the level of gardening activity (3 factors such as gardening experience, plant preference tendency, and plant-related event) between horticulture majors and workers in related fields and general people, it was found that horticulture majors and workers in related fields showed a higher level of gardening activity than general people, with gardening experience particularly showing statistical significance (p < .05). Preference for ‘Pretoria’ was the highest among four varieties of Canna × generalis. Preference for mixed planting of tropicalesque and indoor foliage plants was highest among three types of tropicalesque flower landscape. Preference for tropicalesque flower landscape was highest in the 50s among all age groups, and in the group with an average monthly income of 4.01-5 million won, showing statistical significance. Among 6 factors of perceived importance of plants, esthetics and emotional relaxation for improved quality of life showed high scores in the survey measuring perceived importance of plants. As a result of conducting a regression analysis to examine the effect of the level of gardening activity, importance of plants, preference for tropicalesque flower landscape, and demographic variables (control variables) on loyalty, flower landscape preference was the most influential variable, followed by esthetics among the 6 factors of importance. Conclusion: These results suggest that by increasing the formation of tropicalesque flower landscape, a natural landscape that can reduce negative factors such as increased stress and depression since the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be possible to reduce fatigue caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and improve the quality of life for citizens.
The retinal pigment epithelial cells modulate phagolysosome activation in macrophages through neuropeptides, a-MSH and NPY

Objective: The main function of the human eye is to detect light, motion, and color from our surroundings. This information is then processed and translated in the brain as vision. However, what is less known about the eye is its ability to regulate immune function. It is this ocular immune privilege that maintains the eye’s ability collect visual information. The degeneration of immune privilege causes inflammation, which can cause damage to the eye, an increased susceptibility of eye disorders such as autoimmune uveitis (inflammation of the uvea), and may lead to vision impairment. Research in ocular immune privilege can open up potential clinical applications for maladies such as uveitis, septic shock, hypersensitivity, multiple sclerosis and allograft survival. Previous research has shown the importance of the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells for maintenance of ocular immune privilege, and has identified the use of neuropeptides to suppress inflammatory responses in macrophages. This project aims to study the role and mechanism of the RPE cells in phagolysosome activation in macrophages that mediate inflammation. Methods: Posterior eyecups were prepared from eyes of healthy, EAU immunized, or post-EAU mice. Eyecups, which consisted of the sclera, choroid, and a single layer of RPE, were cultured in serum-free media (SFM). During a 24-hour incubation period,

Constraining hadronization mechanisms with Ac+/D0 production ratios in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV

The production of prompt (cid:2) + c baryons at midrapidity ( | y | < 0 . 5) was measured in central (0–10%) and mid-central (30–50%) Pb–Pb collisions at the center-of-mass energy per nucleon–nucleon pair √ s NN = 5 . 02 TeV with the ALICE detector. The results are more precise, more differential in centrality, and reach much lower transverse momentum ( p T = 1 GeV / c ) with respect to previous measurements performed by the ALICE, STAR, and CMS Collaborations in nucleus–nucleus collisions, allowing for an extrapolation down to p T = 0. The p T -differential (cid:2) + c / D 0 ratio is enhanced with respect to the pp measurement for 4 < p T < 8 GeV / c by 3.7 standard deviations ( σ ), while the p T -integrated ratios are compatible within 1 σ . The observed trend is similar to that observed in the strange sector for the (cid:2) / K 0S ratio. Model calculations including coalescence or statistical hadronization for charm-hadron formation are compared with the data. © 2023 European Organization for Nuclear Research.

Concentration of Asprosin Associated with Poor Control of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Diyala Province

A newly secreted adipokine called asprosin is brought on by fasting as well as encourages hepatic glucose release. Its loss of function through immunologic or genetic methods has a significant effect on lowering glucose and insulin as a result of decreased hepatic glucose release. This study aimed to measure the level of asprosin in a group of poor control hyperglycemic patients and compare its level with the control group and find its correlation with obesity and lipid profile. Asprosin level in serum was assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique for 110 Iraqi patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM), as well as 70 individual healthy controls. Percentage of glycated hemoglobin (HbAIc), fasting blood glucose (FBG), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low- density lipoprotein (LDL) concentration were calculated using Roche cobas integra 400 plus. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus reported increased levels of asprosin in their blood when compared with controls (p < 0.001). A significant positive correlation was seen between asprosin and FBG in patient’s (P< 0.05). Non-significant correlation was seen between asprosin and body mass index (BMI) or lipid profile. In conclusion, according to the asprosin level in serum, there was a highly significant difference between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and control group. BMI and lipid abnormalities were not correlated to asprosin level in the serum of patients.
SUSTAINABLE TOURISM AND LOCAL WISDOM : A TWO-SIDED PHENOMENON OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TRI HITA KARANA IN TOURISM IN BALI

: The tourism development in Bali has put large environmental pressure on the island. This research critically examines the application of local wisdom values as cultural philosophical tenets in terms of sustainable tourism activities. It employs qualitative rapid appraisal approach and literature reviews in seeking the environmental issues accompanying the tourism activities, critically examining the causes of these problems and to gain better understanding of these problems in relation to Tri Hita Karana in Ubud District, Bali. Results show that the largest environmental problems in the island is waste. The waste is generated from the community activities regarding traditional ceremonies as well as tourist activities. It turns out that the is paradox in the practice of Tri Hita Karana in the context of sustainable tourism. Such concept that seeks to maintain the harmony of man's relationship with God, others and nature has not been able to necessarily overcome the waste problem
Positive mass theorems for spin initial data sets with arbitrary ends and dominant energy shields

We prove a positive mass theorem for spin initial data sets $(M,g,k)$ that contain an asymptotically flat end and a shield of dominant energy (a subset of $M$ on which the dominant energy scalar $\mu-|J|$ has a positive lower bound). In a similar vein, we show that for an asymptotically flat end $\mathcal{E}$ that violates the positive mass theorem (i.e. $\mathrm{E}<|\mathrm{P}|$), there exists a constant $R>0$, depending only on $\mathcal{E}$, such that any initial data set containing $\mathcal{E}$ must violate the hypotheses of Witten's proof of the positive mass theorem in an $R$-neighborhood of $\mathcal{E}$. This implies the positive mass theorem for spin initial data sets with arbitrary ends, and we also prove a rigidity statement. Our proofs are based on a modification of Witten's approach to the positive mass theorem involving an additional independent timelike direction in the spinor bundle.
Factors Influencing Consumer Preference for Beef or Chevon in the Northern Region of Ghana

The study examined the influence of husbandry practices and socio-cultural factors on consumers' preference for beef or chevon in the Northern Region of Ghana. A descriptive crosssectional survey with 410 participants was used in this research. The participants were chosen using the convenience sampling method. The significance of associations was determined by chisquare analysis, and binary logistic regressions were used to asses influence of factors on meat preferences. Out of the 410 respondents, 65.6% were males, and the mean age was 33.5 years. Most of the respondents (59.0%) indicated that their type of meat preference is beef as compared to 41.0% who preferred chevon. The meat type consumers usually purchased was beef as indicated by 62.0% of the respondents. Both age and marital status had a significant association with meat type purchased. Among the husbandry practices, quality and hygiene of animal feeds or watering were significantly associated with meat preference. Age of the respondent predicted meat preference with those within the age group of 35 – 44 years more likely (5.8 times) to prefer chevon than beef as compared to those within the age group of 24 years and below. The results further shows that single respondents were more likely to prefer chevon than beef, when compared with those married. The religion of the respondents predicted meat preference with traditional religious belief more likely to prefer chevon over beef as compared to those from Islamic religious belief. Generally beef was the most preferred meat type with husbandry practices and some socio-cultural factors such as age, marital status and religious practice influencing choice of meat type. It is recommended that farmers on the basis of this study consider animal husbandry practices such as feeding with quality housing very serious in order to attract meat consumers.
