Authors: Martin Brittany Harker , Harris Marsha
Published: December 2022

This article presents findings from the study of a service-learning program for undergraduate students offered by a post-secondary leadership education centre. The program was designed to enhance post-secondary learning beyond the program of studies while developing perspectives of servant-leadership and serving community-identified needs. The theoretical framework is explained and details of the program are described, followed by the research study with findings that support service-learning programs as an effective form of Socially Empowered Learning. Specifically, results indicate that the program investigated here led to a significant increase in group potency, collective efficacy, and overall social empowerment. Implications for the theory of Socially Empowered Learning are explored in addition to recommendations for future research and practice.
Bridging the divide: Collaborative practice between faculty and student services staff — Findings from a doctoral study.
Authors: Gibson Jill
Published: December 2022

Research has shown that collaboration between faculty and student services is essential for the development of a quality student experience (Kezar, 2005). First-year collaborations are designed to support the incoming student and provide a springboard/safety net; however, they often exist on the periphery of the academic experience (Barefoot & Gardner, 2003) and continue to be secondary add-ons.

A multiple-site case study across three post-secondary institutions in British Columbia utilized interviews and focus groups comprised of 10 administrators, 13 faculty, and 13 staff. Using organizational theory (Schein, 2004; Tierney, 1988) and critical theory (Foucault, 1982), the research investigated successes and failures of cross-divisional collaboration between faculty and student services. The critical approach studied developing culture, governance structures and policies, job descriptions, institutional divisions, reporting lines, and marginalized voices. These historical patterns of meaning reflected on the current structures and cultural infrastructure at each site where organizational barriers, role confusion, lack of knowledge, lack of time, and lack of connection were highlighted.

The four major themes that emerged from the study were: (a) informational issues around awareness and definitions, as well as territorial awareness and models for training; (b) environmental issues including history, resources (time and money as well as human), roles, and responsibilities; (c) relationship development that focuses on trust, connection, power, and leadership; and (d) structural issues involving governance structures, reporting structures, and silos.

Published: December 2022

Introdução: A Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS) é uma condição clínica multifatorial caracterizada por elevação da Pressão Arterial sistólica (PAS) e/ou diastólica (PAD). Constitui um problema de saúde pública crescente, e cuja estratégica terapêutica está fundamentada em mudanças no estilo de vidas, tratamento farmacológico e prática regular de exercícios físicos. Objetivo: O presente estudo através de revisões da literatura faz comparação dos efeitos de exercício aeróbico e treinamento de alta intensidade em pacientes com Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica. Material e Métodos: Revisão de literatura comparativa realizada no período de Agosto de 2018 a Maio de 2019, através de buscas de artigos científicos nas Bases de Dados: LILACS, SCIELO, PUBMED e BIREME, selecionados de acordo com critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Resultados: Dos 16 artigos selecionados, Seis têm como tema a avaliação de exercícios aeróbicos em hipertensos (Cinco em português e um em espanhol), três artigos que falam sobre o exercício intervalado de alta intensidade/HIIT para hipertensos (Dois em português e Um em espanhol). Conclusão: Os dados do presente estudo sugerem que tanto o exercício aeróbio quanto o exercício resistido podem proporcionar hipotensão pós exercícios em hipertensos. É possível considerar que o HIIT apresentou resultados consideráveis, mostrando também eficaz quando comparado aos protocolos de exercícios contínuos (aeróbicos), com menor tempo de aplicação. Porém, os efeitos ainda dependem da intensidade e duração do exercício, necessitando de mais pesquisas para aperfeiçoar este método, e estabelecendo melhores protocolos em hipertensos.

Authors: Nguyen Tuan Anh , Zhurkina Olga , Bui Trung Chi , Sokolovskiy Konstantin
Published: December 2022

The study purpose is to examine the measure of popularity of separate interactive components of political discourse delivery through social media in the modern Russian Federation. The research methodology builds on an empirical approach through a door-to-door survey. It involved a total number of 1,000 residents of Moscow, the Russian Federation. Respondents were divided into 5 groups of 200 people. They had to choose one of the following types of social media as the most frequently used: social networks, online video platforms (OVPs), blogs, and messengers. Accordingly, the research results demonstrated that social networks are the most popular (53.4%) among study participants. Less number of respondents (19%) consider messengers effective, 15.4% of study participants find video hosting the most significant type of social media, and only 12.2% believe that blogs are the most effective among others. Furthermore, the following factors determined the interactive component of political discourse in social media: the involvement of respondents regarding the participation in online voting, commenting and reposting content (48%), maintaining a blog with a political intent (34%), and refusal to participate in political dialogue (18%). The research results may contribute to further study regarding the behavioral features of media platform users and ways to establish communication between government structures and the public. It may also grant improving the methods of psychological influence on the citizen worldview within political science. The research has a practical significance as the results obtained may facilitate lobbying the interests of political subjects and develop campaigning activities.

In the face of the emergence of bacteria resistant to common antibacterials and excessive accumulation of free radicals that can cause several diseases, it is important to look for new antibacterials and antioxidants. The goal of this work was to synthesize three chalcones derivatives by the Claisen-Schmidt condensation and then evaluate their antibacterial and antioxidant activities. The structure of these 3 compounds has been determined by NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopy. The in vitro antibacterial activity assessed by Microdilution methods, was tested against Gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) at different concentrations ranging from 7.82 to 1000 µg/mL. All three synthesized chalcones showed good antibacterial activity against gram positive and negative bacteria used with a range of MIC ranging from 62.50 to 1000 µg/mL. However, the (E)-3-(3, 4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl) prop-2-en-1-one showed excellent activity against Bacillus subtilis with Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 62.5 µg/mL which is similar to that of the standard (Ampicillin) against the same bacterial strain. Antioxidant activity evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl2-picryl- hydrazyle ( DPPH) revealed that all the synthesized chalcones showed an antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 8.22; 6.89 and 3.39 µg/mL for (E)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) prop-2-en-1-one, (E)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl) prop-2-en-1-one and (E)-3-(3, 4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl) prop-2-en-1-one, respectively. These values are closer to that of ascorbic acid used as a standard. The results suggest that the synthesized chalcones, especially the (E)-3-(3, 4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl) prop-2-en-1-one could be used, after in vivo and clinical tests, like antibacterial and antioxidant supplement or even replace current drug therapies.

Published: December 2022

This study was initiated to evaluate the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of aqueous and ethanoic extracts of Anthocleista djalonensis and Uvaria chamae, two plants of the African pharmacopoeia used by the peoples of the northern Côte d’Ivoire to treat severe cases of diarrhea. A series of extraction by maceration was carried out. The extracts obtained were assayed by the colorimetric method and their antioxidant activity determined by spectrophotometer using the free radical scavenging (DPPH) and iron reduction (FRAP) methods. Dilution and agar diffusion methods on Mueller Hinton medium were used to determine MICs and inhibition diameters. The assay of the extracts determined the polyphenol content ranging from 6.8 to 21.1 mg. The total phenol content of the ethanol extract of Uvaria chamae was the highest. Evaluation of the free radical scavenging activity and the reducing power of ferric ions to ferrous ions of the extracts of both plants indicated variable IC50 values ranging from 4 to 14 (μg/mL). The lowest value (4 μg/mL) close to that of vitamin C (reference molecule) (3.5 μg/mL) was obtained with the aqueous and ethanoic extracts of Anthocleista djalomensis and Uvaria chamae respectively. Furthermore, all germs were found to be sensitive to the action of the extracts with inhibition diameters greater than 10 mm and MICs greater than 3.12 mg/mL. This sensitivity could be due to the presence of phytochemicals such as total phenols, flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, saponins whose antimicrobial activities have already been shown. These investigations justify the traditional use of these plants in the treatment of diarrhea and dysentery.
The role of surfactants in preserving the stability of amorphous solid dispersions: A review
Authors: Prashanth Parupathi  , Siddharatha Dhoppalapudi
Published: December 2022

In recent years among various formulation strategies, amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) has gained tremendous recognition for improving the solubility of poorly soluble drug substances. Among various manufacturing strategies, hot melt extrusion (HME), spray drying, kinetisol, and electrospinning are the most widely employed for developing ASDs. Despite the improving solubility and bioavailability, the stability of ASDs is the major problem haunting the pharmaceutical industries. Various factors, such as miscibility, the solubility of the drug in polymer, drug-polymer interactions, glass transition temperature, hygroscopicity, and storage conditions, determine the stability of ASDs. The poor stability of amorphous drugs also limits the drug loading capacity, resulting in an increased volume of the dosage form affecting patient compliance. Apart from the physical stability of ASDs, solution-mediated recrystallization of the drug when present in a supersaturated state is another factor affecting the quality and performance of the formulations. In recent years incorporation of surfactants to hinder solution-mediated recrystallization of drugs, thereby improving the stability and performance of ASD formulations, is being most widely investigated. The incorporation of surfactant in the HME process will also act as a plasticizer, thereby allowing the process to be carried at lower temperatures. This review article mainly focuses on the role of surfactants in ASD systems and recent advancements. Still, research is warranted to understand the mechanism of surfactants and to establish screening criteria.

The effect of Avapeedaksnehapan by using Kulatthadi Ghrita in the management of Mutrashmari with special reference to Urolithiasis: A case study
Authors: Sachinkumar Sahebrao Patil
Published: December 2022

Urolithiasis is very common now a day. The disease occurs in all age groups. Males are more commonly affected than females with male:female ratio of 3:1. The peak age for developing stones is between 30 to 50 yrs and recurrence is common. The symptoms of Urolithiasis can be co-relate with the symptoms of Mutrashmari in Ayurveda. Mutrashmari is one of disease occur in Mutravaha Strotasa. Ashmari comprises of two words that is Ashma and Ari. Ashmameans a stone and Ari means the enemy hence Mutrashmari means the disease which gives tremendous pain to the body like enemy. Acharya Sushruta explained the 4 types of Mutrashmari. The treatment principle of Urolithiasis in modern science is hydrotherapy in case of calculi less than 5 m.m. in large stones, the treatment like Extacorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL), Pyelolithotomy, Nephrolithotomy, Nephrostomy etc. are done. But these procedures have their own disadvantages as they may leads to complications and there is more chances of recurrence in the disease. Similarly Sushruta said that newly formed Ashmari is Aushadhisadhya while chronic, big sized Mutrashamari is Shastrakarmasadhya. There are 3 types of treatment are mentioned for Ashmari i.e. Ausahadhi Chikitsa, Ksharachikitsa, and Shastrakarma. Shastrachikitsa is expensive and may have some complications & Aushadhichikitsa used in all types of Mutrashmari situated anywhere in Mutravaha strotas are less expensive, easily available and have less complications. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of Avapeedaksnehapan by using Kulatthadi Ghrita in the management of Mutrashmari with special reference to Urolithiasis. A patient was selected. In this particular case study we used the Avapeedaksnehapan of Kulatthadighrita administration given for 1 month and after completion of course follow up taken for 3 months to check the recurrence of the disease. The results found in this study is encouraging enough. The study was completed in Sumatibhai Shah Ayurved Mahavidyalaya and Sane Guruji Ayurved Hospital, Hadapsar, Pune – 411028.
Assessment of tannins extracts of Acacia nilotica ssp Adansonii pods and Azadirachta indica bark on leather processing
Authors: Mahdi Haroun
Published: December 2022

Despite the fact, world leather industries are built on chromium tannage system, there is a growing interest of metal free tannages (chrome). This is primarily owing to the rising demand for chromium free tanning in the leather industry. The goal of this research paper was to evaluate the influences of vegetable tannins materials on the retannage of leather, by using Acacia nilotica ssp Adansonia pods (hydrolysable tannins) and Azadirachta indica bark (condensed tannins), and estimating the absorption and physico-mechanical properties of leather. The results indicated that this system of free chromium tannage give us products with tear strength of 80 N/mm, tensile strength of 55.5 N/mm2, and elongation at break (75.3%). A vegetable re-tanning produced strong leather with durable properties. On other hand, vegetable pre-tanning (condensed tannins) probably stiffens the fiber network of collagen molecules, blocking the bigger molecules from diffusing into the fibers of collagen.

Published: December 2022

Giant cell fibroma is relatively new and rare entity, commonly seen in gingiva. It is a benign non-neoplastic lesion of oral cavity. It manifests clinically as a slow-growing, asymptomatic, sessile or pedunculated mass with a maximum diameter of 0.5 to 1 cm. These lesions commonly occurs in young individuals and have no sex predilection. Histopathological findings of giant cell fibroma show a presence of the stellate fibroblasts with multinucleated giant cells. This report is a case of giant cell fibroma, occuring on the right buccal mucosa in a 14 year old female patient. Surgical excision of the lesion was planned using a diode laser followed by photo-biomodulation. Post surgically healing was satisfactory, with no significant scar tissue formation and follow up showed no recurrence of lesion.

Can the migrants speak: A study on seasonal migration from Bihar to Kolkata after COVID-19
Authors: Satyaki Paul  , Kaja Sairam  , Sabatini Chatterjee
Published: December 2022

Migration is a dynamic social process that relocates cultures, ideas and resources from one region to another. In India, seasonal migration occurs due to various reasons such as economic, political, social, cultural, etc. The internal migration of India is fueled by the need for employment by unskilled labours in the informal sectors. Numerous unskilled labours from Bihar travel to West Bengal in search of better job-related opportunities. Such people are mostly employed in unorganised sectors with a very low pay scale. However, there are numerous challenges associated with the informal or its unorganised labour force due to fact of the limited scope of production, lack of social security, and so on. There is a paucity of research regarding the trends associated with this particular sector. In this vein, this research paper will aid in understanding the livelihood activities partook, the necessities of such individuals and their coping mechanisms. Furthermore, this research paper also delves into the changing socioeconomic and cultural contours of the studied population after the coronavirus pandemic.

Published: December 2022

Hyponatremia in panhypopituitarism is multifactorial, it can be explained by the corticotropic deficit observed in pituitary insufficiency which is responsible for a lifting of inhibition on the anti-diuretic hormone with a consequent net reduction of water excretion, Hypothyroidism is also cited as a contributing mechanism for the development of acute hyponatremia in pituitary insufficiency through reduced free water excretion. Hyponatremia as a mode of revelation remains rare, we report a case of severe hyponatremia revealing pituitary insufficiency on pituitary macroadenoma.
Microbial bio stimulant obtained from cactus and succulent plants for rooting and growth of the castello hybrid rose (Attilio Ragionieri)
Authors: Domenico Prisa  , Alessandra Benati
Published: December 2022

Research objective: The aim of this research was to evaluate the stimulating potential of new microbial consortia obtained from the root systems of cacti and succulents in the rooting and growth of Attilio Ragionieri rose. Materials and Methods: The experiments, which began in February 2022, were conducted in the CREA-OF greenhouses in Pescia (PT), Tuscany, on cuttings obtained from a mother plant of the Attilio Ragionieri rose. Experimentation with the use of microbial consortia selected from cactus and succulent roots was carried out both to assess possible differences in rooting of cuttings and to highlight improvements in plant cultivation and growth. After 3 months from the start of the trial in May 2022, the following parameters were evaluated on the plants: number of cuttings rooted, average rooting speed, dead cuttings. After 5 months of cultivation from the time of transplanting, the following parameters were analysed on the plants and in the substrate in October 2022: plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, vegetative weight, roots volume and length, number of microorganisms in the substrate, number of dead plants, pH substrate value and SPAD index. Results and Discussion: The experiment showed that the use of microorganisms introduced in the rooting medium of rose cuttings can significantly increase the percentage of rooted cuttings, reduce the rooting time and mortality of the cuttings. Furthermore, once rooted, the cuttings colonised by the microorganisms grow better, showing an increase in height, number of leaves, vegetative and root weight, increasing root length, leaf area and chlorophyll content. A very interesting aspect was also the increase in microbial biomass in the treated theses, particularly in the thesis inoculated with microorganisms obtained from cactus and succulent roots. Interestingly, there are no references in the literature on the use of these microbial selections evaluated for plant rooting, stimulation and resistance, which is why this work appears to be of particular importance. Plants living in our latitudes may be better able to adapt to climate change in the future if microorganisms from extreme environments are used. Conclusions: Microbial biofertilisers can maintain low crop productivity and increase resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, and in particular can improve fertiliser utilisation. The development of innovative protocols for the rooting and cultivation of old, often forgotten roses by exploiting microbial consortia that have not yet been tested seems to be a very important aspect for the recovery of important plants that might become extinct. Further research is currently underway on other ornamental species of historical and religious interest.

Gereçler ve Yöntem: Çalışma 21 Mart-15 Nisan 2021 tarihleri arasında Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi Meram Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi Tıbbi Mikrobiyoloji laboratuvarı’nda gerçekleştirildi. On MDR bakteri, yedi farklı bakteriyel konsantrasyonunda (102-108 bakteri/petri) petri kaplarında in vitro olarak değerlendirildi. 10, 20 ve 40 dakikalık 40 ug/ml dozda ozon maruziyeti ve kontrol grubunun MDR bakterileri üzerinde etkinliğini araştırıldı. Plakların 24 saatlik inkübasyonundan sonra, ozonun her maruz kalma süresi için ortalama koloni sayıları belirlendi ve Log10'a dönüştürüldü.
Bulgular: Ortalama bakteriyel azalma (log10) dikkate alındığında, ozonun bakterisidal etkisi 10 dakikaklık maruziyette sadece metisiline dirençli Staphylococcus aureus, VIM-1 üreten Klebsiella pneumoniae ve Karbapenem dirençli Acinetobacter baumannii üzerinde saptandı. Optimum etki, test edilen izolatlarda genellikle 20 dakika içinde gözlendi. Bununla birlikte, MDR-Pseudomonas aeruginosa, ozon maruziyetinden nispeten daha az etkilendi. Ancak 40 dakikalık maruziyet sonunda tüm bakteriler %99'luk seviyenin üzerinde inaktive edildi.
Sonuçlar: Ozon gazı, MDR patojenleri üzerinde etkili bakterisidal aktivite gösterdi ve etkisinin, maruz kalma süresine ve bakteri tipine bağlı olduğu tespit edildi. Pandemi dünyasında mikrobiyal enfeksiyonların kontrolü için yeni yaklaşımlara duyulan ihtiyaç dikkate alındığında, ozon tedavisinin optimizasyonu yüksek öncelikli olarak gerçekleştirilmelidir ve ozonun MDR-bakterilerin inaktivasyonu üzerindeki etkisinin derinlemesine anlaşılmasını desteklemek için daha fazla in vivo çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır.

Yara iyileşmesi hemostaz, inflamasyon, proliferasyon ve maturasyon evrelerinden oluşan fizyolojik bir süreçtir. Bu iç içe geçmiş evrelerin herhangi bir aşamasında meydana gelen bozulma, klinisyenin karşısına için kronik bir yara olarak çıkar. Lipoaspiratın enzimatik veya mekanik sindiriminden sonra sulu fraksiyonun bir parçası olarak izole edilen stromal vasküler fraksiyon, aynı zamanda önemli bir mezenkimal kök hücre rezervidir. İçerdiği preadipositler, endotelyal öncüler, immün hücreler, hematopoietik hücreler, fibroblastlar ve perisitler nedeniyle heterojen bir doku kokteyli olarak kabul edilir. Proanjiyogenik, antiapoptotik, antifibrotik, immünomodülatör ve antiinflamatuar aktivitelerinin yanı sıra izolasyondaki avantajları nedeniyle, stromal vasküler fraksiyon son zamanlarda mevcut yara tedavisinde önem kazanmıştır. SVF tek başına yara iyileşmesi için etkili olmasa da, uygun yara bakımı ve rekonstrüksiyon öncesi yara yatağı hazırlığı için yeterli hücre sayısı ve canlılığı sağlayan ve cerrahi başarısızlığı en aza indiren yeni ve etkili bir teknolojidir.
