Authors: Isa Ishak , Pomolango Riskawati , Iyabu Hendri
Published: September 2024

Liquid smoke is a product of condensation or vapor formation that occurs directly or indirectly from the combustion of materials containing lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and other carbon compounds. This research aims to understand the process of making liquid smoke from coconut shell, identify the components contained in the liquid smoke, and analyze the effect of storage duration on the quality of flying fish that has been soaked in liquid smoke, including tests for moisture content and phenol in the preservation process. Additionally, it evaluates the sensory quality, such as taste, smell, and texture, of the flying fish. The study used liquid smoke at various concentrations (0, 2, 4, 6%) with a 30-minute soaking period. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 26 with ANOVA testing. The results show that the addition of liquid smoke to flying fish with different concentration variations affects moisture content, phenol content, and organoleptic properties. The optimal concentration of liquid smoke for use as a preservative is 6%.

Keywords: Liquid smoke from coconut shell, flying fish, GC-MS.
A Bronze Passion Ensemble by François du Quesnoy and François Girardon
Authors: L. Pitoun Esther
Published: September 2024

A fine bronze statuette representing a Christ at the Column recently entered the collection of the Rijksmuseum, sparking an inquiry into why it shares so many commonalities with a bronze Ecce Homo acquired by the museum in 1957. In addition to observable stylistic parallels, technical analysis conducted by Rijksmuseum scientist Arie Pappot revealed that both statuettes were cast in the same (probably Parisian) workshop around 1700. The original model of the Christ at the Column is attributed to François du Quesnoy (1597-1643), whose models circulated around France and Italy. Among the many who collected his works was the French court sculptor François Girardon (1628-1715), whose collection, illustrated on a series of thirteen plates, comprised no less than eighty-three terracotta and four bronzes by Du Quesnoy himself or made after his models. In pursuit of symmetry in the presentaion of his sculptures, the accomplished sculptor Girardon, as argued here, could very conceivably have created and cast the Ecce Homo as a companion piece to the Christ at the Column already held in his collection. The outcome is a harmonious ensemble of mirrored contrapposto figures, an exceptional religious duo calling for an introspective pilgrimage to the suffering of Christ.
Service Quality and Customer Loyalty in Nepalese Commercial Banks: A Mediating Role of Customer Trust
Authors: P. S. Dhruba, , R. B. Dilli,
Published: September 2024

Service quality assessment is crucial for ensuring that the overall service dimension aligns with the client's expectations. This study aims to examine the mediating effect of customer trust in the relationship between service quality and customer loyalty in the commercial banks of Nepal. Two hundred and sixteen (216) customers of these banks were surveyed using a structured five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Data was collected via online and field survey by visiting the customers at related banks. The study's hypotheses were tested through path analysis using AMOS-26 software. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between service quality, customer trust, and customer loyalty. This suggests that higher service quality contributes to heightened customer trust and loyalty in Nepalese commercial banks. Notably, customer trust exhibits a partial mediation effect in the connection between service quality and customer loyalty. These results offer valuable insights for bank managers, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing customer satisfaction, trust and loyalty in crafting strategies for competitive advantages.
Population Growth and Urban Renewal Programmes in Uyo and Ikot Ekpene Local Government Areas of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria
Authors: U. S. Daniel, , T. E. Udousoro, , U. U. Effiong,
Published: September 2024

The study attempts to assess the effects of Population Growth on Urban Renewal Programmes in Uyo and Ikot Ekpene Local Government Areas of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Objectively, the study examines the causes and dangers of population growth on urban development policies, and how urban population growth rate could be reduced for sustained urban renewal programmes. The study employed elimination by substitution theory postulated by Udom Sunday Daniel to discuss the different measures of creating a balance between population growth and urban renewal programmes thus enhancing the quality of urban programmes and livelihood through the generated dividends of urban renewal opportunities. Data were collected using descriptive and survey techniques and the sample size consisted of 357 returned questionnaires from the 400 administered. The findings reveal that population growth does affect urban renewal programmes causing speedy decay and dilapidation of urban centres, thus the study encouraged rural development targeted at reducing urban migration. The findings further revealed that urban renewal projects should be planned in a linear balance to absorb the projected population. The study however recommended public-private partnerships for a sustainable urban renewal programme and participation towards enhancing livelihood through job creation and economic opportunities. Finally, the study recommends population registration centres for reliable population data planning and development as it will help to align population growth with urban renewal strategies, concluding that research on population growth, trends and dynamics on urban renewal/development be intensified as this will help to unveil other challenges of urban renewal advancement.
Modelling and simulation of brinicle formation
Authors: Paz Julián David Jiménez , Valle Carlos Andrés del , Lozada Felipe Gómez , Stewart Peter
Published: September 2024

Below the Arctic sea ice, under the right conditions, a flux of icy brine flows down into the sea. The icy brine has a much lower fusion point and is denser than normal seawater. As a result, it sinks while freezing everything around it, forming an ice channel called a brinicle (also known as ice stalactite). In this paper, we develop a mathematical model for this phenomenon, assuming cylindrical symmetry. The fluid is considered to be viscous and quasi-stationary. The heat and salt transport are weakly coupled to the fluid motion and are modelled with the corresponding conservation equations, accounting for diffusive and convective effects. Finite-element discretization is employed to solve the coupled system of partial differential equations. We find that the model can capture the general behaviour of the physical system and generate brinicle-like structures while also recovering dendrite composition, which is a physically expected feature aligned with previous experimental results. This represents, to our knowledge, the first complete model proposed that captures the global structure of the physical phenomenon even though it has some discrepancies, such as brine accumulation.
"Beautiful, young, white, and blonde". How Image Generative AI Reinforces Harmful Gender Norms
Authors: Moriarty Carla
Published: September 2024

Image generative artificial intelligence (AI) platforms represent a new, and sometimes troubling, lens for the articulation of gender. Text prompts such as an attractive woman with long wavy hair […] glamorous pin-ups, perfect anatomy, perfect posture (Midjourney, 2023) creates images for users’ consumption at a rate of 34 million per day (Attie, 2023), indicating that this technology is poised to play a dominant role in the transmission, maintenance, and intensification of gender stereotypes.

Employing a critical stance, corpus linguistics software AntConc (Anthony, 2024) was used to analyse users’ text prompts, focusing on gendered, gender-neutral, and gender-connotative noun forms alongside adjectival collocates. Subsequently, a social semiotically-informed multimodal analysis was used on selected images, presented as a case study to exemplify and highlight the corpus linguistics findings.

Bathes described photographs in the media as having “passed through the filter of culture” (1981:16). While generative AI has precipitated a transformative shift in our communication landscape, it appears this cultural filter is still being applied. Critical analysis of this issue places sociolinguists and scholars from other interested fields at the forefront of discussions aimed at identifying and mitigating the propagation of gender hegemonies via image generative AI.
Factors associated with low adherence to exclusive breastfeeding in the Dibaya health zone, Democratic Republic of Congo
Authors: Mbuyi Emile , Nkongolo Bernard-Kennedy , Musema Godefroid
Published: September 2024

Background

Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is an effective intervention, preventing 13% of deaths in children under 5 years old with optimal coverage of 90%. According to the Monitoring Improved for Action (MAA) survey conducted in 2013-2014, only 13.7% of children aged 0-6 months were exclusively breastfed, well below the 50% target set by Sustainable Development Goal, SDG 2. Dibaya health zone was a post-conflict Kamuina Nsapu, where most women who devote themselves to rural work and small businesses abandon their children for long hours. Hence, the latter being hungry and crying constantly, those who look after them must give them water and other foods than their mother’s milk. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with low adherence to EBF among breastfeeding women in the Dibaya health zone.

Methods

This cross-sectional analytical study was carried out among 200 women breastfeeding children aged 6-23 months. We used a four-stage probability sampling starting from the ZS, passing through the selected health area, then the streets/villages and then a plot survey to randomly select households with children aged 6-23 months. The chi-square test showed the current relationships between EBF adherence and the various factors, and the relationship between the various factors will ultimately be ascertained through logistic regression.

Results

The rate of adherence to the EBF was 12.1%. Porridge and water were most noted among the foods most consumed before 6 months. The factors associated with adherence to the EBF were the type of health area inhabited by the mother, marital status, area of residence, occupation of the husband, the existence of rules/prohibitions in the tribe and the information received on the EBF. It was noted that rural residence reduces adherence to exclusive breastfeeding by 96.2% while lack of knowledge reduces adherence to exclusive breastfeeding by 91.2%.

Conclusions

Most mothers do not adhere to EBF. The EBF rate is far from reaching the SDG 2 target, which must be above 50%. Intensifying the implementation of regional initiatives (Stronger with breast milk only and First Food) should be part of the strategic options to boost and improve Membership in the EBF. Communication for behaviour change must also focus on the age at which complementary foods are introduced.
DETERMINATION OF THE DEPENDENCE OF POWER CONSUMPTION
OF THE MAIN PUMPING UNIT ON THE VOLUME OF TECHNOLOGICAL MIXTURE
OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS DURING THEIR TRANSPORTATION
BY THE METHOD OF SEQUENTIAL PUMPING WITH DIRECT CONTACT
Authors: VОRONIN A. , KONDRATUK A. , BOSLOVYAK S.
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to identifying the relationship between power consumption and the amount of process mixture
formed at the points of contact of different types of petroleum products during transportation through a main petroleum
product pipeline using the method of sequential pumping with the fluid speed as an intermediate parameter. At the first stage,
it is necessary to determine the dependence of the volume of the process mixture on the speed of movement of the petroleum
product, which allows assessing the possibility of distributing the process mixture into tanks at the final point in accordance
with the volume of the tank farm. At the second stage, the dependence of power consumption on the speed of movement of the
petroleum product is determined, which creates conditions for estimating the energy costs of transporting petroleum products.
At the third stage, the dependence of power consumption on the volume of the process mixture is determined, which informatively
helps in choosing the optimal balance between the volume of the mixture and power consumption with the possibility of
reducing the pumping speed below the normatively recommended values. The proposed approach for determining the dependence
of power consumption on the amount of process mixture is a convenient tool for simultaneous assessment of two
parameters and finding the optimal pumping mode.

CLASSIFICATION OF DEFECTS IN MOBILE MACHINE TRANSMISSIONS
Authors: RYNKEVICH S.
Published: September 2024

The classification of defects in gears of mobile machines is considered. It is noted that the main processes that
contribute to the occurrence of defects and malfunctions in gears are: friction that occurs in the zone of direct contact
of the teeth, gradual destruction of the surfaces of parts during their relative movement, the presence of alternating
loads, periodically occurring dynamic shocks in the transmission, excess stress, acting on the contact areas, yield
strength, repeated transmission overloads caused by complex loading conditions. A detailed analysis of the causes
of defects in the transmissions of mechanical and hydromechanical transmissions of mobile machines was carried out. The classification of damage and defects in gears makes it possible to study deviations in the operation of these gears
and make timely decisions to increase the service life of gears, and also serves as a database for creating algorithms
for on-board diagnostic systems for recognizing faults in gearboxes of mobile machines for various purposes.
INTEGRATION OF COGNITIVE ANALYSIS METHODS
INTO THE ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE SAFETY ASSESSMENT SYSTEM
Authors: KAPSKI D. , BOGDANOVICH S.
Published: September 2024

This article presents an innovative approach to assessing the hazard levels of rural road sections, based on the
integration of cognitive modeling methods and fuzzy logic. The authors propose a comprehensive methodology that
allows for the consideration of a wide range of both quantitative and qualitative characteristics of road conditions, as
well as modeling complex non-linear relationships between various risk factors. The developed approach includes several
key stages: construction of a detailed cognitive map reflecting the structure of relationships between safety factors,
formalization of hazard factors using fuzzy set theory, and a risk analysis algorithm based on impulse modeling. The
article also suggests promising directions for further research, including integration of the developed approach with
geographic information systems, application of machine learning methods for automatic model parameter tuning, and
development of dynamic cognitive maps capable of adapting to changing conditions in real-time.

Hyperglycemia or diabetic people has been suggested as a risk factor for developing severe illness from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The aim of our study was to detect the presence of glucose levels in blood samples of the patients without known pre-existing diabetes collected in the post-pandemic period. Patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia requiring hospitalization between January 2023 and December 2023 were not enrolled in this retrospective observational study. This is a retrospective epidemiology study involving patients categorized into three groups according to admission Blood Glucose (BG) levels: < 70 mg/dL; 77 – 90 mg/dL; > 99 mg/dL collected in 2023y according to standard glycaemia targets. Throughout 2023y, a total of 13,246 blood samples were collected from 11,425 non-diabetic patients vaccinated against Covid, which 10,478 male and 947 female. Furthermore, we detected that nondiabetic patients with good glycemic control (86.77%). Moreover, we detected highest percentage of samples collected from men (91,71%) and lowest percentage from women (8,28%). These data upon the references resulted as hyperglycaemia were compared to COVID-19 vaccinated patients with normoglycemia blood glucose measures. So, our study dataset was a backward-looking study which the glucose parameter listed in the electronic medical records could be analyzed as focuses the predictor factor on vaccinated patients against SARS-CoV-2. We concluded that new insulin therapy could be applied in future studies including diabetic patients vaccinated against COVID-19. It is also added that comorbidities were not considered in the analysis of controlled glucose levels and/or considered within the normal reference standard.

To properly understand da'wah, it must be through understanding the Qur'an as the main source of da'wah. However, the Qur'an can only be properly understood through interpretation. The purpose of this research is to analyze the verses of the Qur'an that are the basis of da'wah. This analysis is expected to provide a deeper understanding of the purpose and method of da'wah in accordance with the foundation of the Qur'an. The urgency of this research is made because effective da'wah can bring great benefits to individuals, communities, and nations. By understanding the foundation of da'wah from the Qur'an, it is hoped that dai and missionaries can carry out their duties better and optimally. This study uses a qualitative research method with a thematic interpretation approach. Based on the results of analysis and literature studies from various references, the results of this study are by understanding the foundation, purpose and method of da'wah according to the foundation in the Qur'an. His words are in Q.S Q.S Al-Baqarah: 214 and Q.S Al-Imron: 159 about the purpose of da'wah that this verse expressly explains that to obtain heaven from Allah, it is not enough just by faith. Muslims will be given various kinds of trials as befell the previous ummah as a test for them. Furthermore, in the Qur'an, Surah An-Nahl · Verse 125 conveys that Allah swt gives guidelines to His Messenger on how to invite people (da'wah) to the way of Allah
WACANA RADIKALISME ISLAM DI TENGAH PERSPEKTIF OKSIDENTALISM DAN POSKOLONIALISM
Authors: Pratomo Gigih Wahyu
Published: September 2024

Secara garis besar, pokok masalah orientalism adalah pada kerangka metodologis keilmuwan barat, mereka berusaha mendoktrinasi perspektifnya kepada kaum timur supaya pandangannya lebih diterima, bahkan lebih dari itu mereka juga percaya bahwa ternyata kaum timur mereka aggab telah menyepakati pandangannya, sebab masih minimnya metodologi pengetahuan orang timur yang diangab belum bisa atau mampu untuk membantah dari hasil kajian dan teori barat tersebut. Menggunakan metode kajian pustaka kita bisa melihat dimana letak dasar singkronisasi dan awal mula terjadinya pembeda dari makna radikalisme.
Melalui konsep yang dibangun sebelumnya oleh para tokoh keilmuan sebelumnya, maka akan memberikan langkah runut untuk menarasikan letak masalah yang terjadi. Sehingga memunculkan kaidah yang sesuai untuk menjawab persoalan tersebut. Seiring dengan minimnya wacana tandingan dari Negara Timur terkait radikalisme, kerangka perpektif ilmiah barat seolah menjadi kebenaran atas fakta yang terjadi. Kerangka yang menempatkan alasan radikalisme sebagai perilaku yang keras dan identik dengan karakter dunia Islam sangatlah tidak mendasar secara ilmiah. Bahwasanya upaya mensimbolkan orang-orang timur sebagai manusia yang arogan dan kasar, bahkan tidak suka menerima perbedaan sebagai tindakan radikalisme.Kajian poskolonial dan oksidentalism dapat menjadi pilihan logis untuk membongkar makna radikalisme yang sudah hadir. Secara metodologis dengan meletakkan kembali makna awal radikalisme, bisa didapatkan sebuah gambaran sepihak dominasi wacana radikalisme yang sering kali paradoks, hingga memunculkan kekuatan yang masif dan mendominasi sebagai efek latency-nya .
EPISTEMOLOGI HADIST PERSEPEKTIF SUNNI DAN SYI’AH (Kajian Kritis Atas Otentitas Hadist)
Authors: Ahmad Fauzan Pujianto  , Aina  Noor Habibah
Published: September 2024

Sunnah atau lebih dikenal dengan istilah Hadist merupakan salah satu sumber penggalian hukum dalam agalam Islam. Oleh karena itu, proses seleksi yang ketat dilakukan agar terhindar dari penggunaan hadist-hadist palsu. Kemudian dalam prosesnya menghasilkan beberapa kitab hadist besar yang dianggap autentik sebagai pegangan pengambilan hadist.
Namun seleksi yang dilakukan tersebut menurut Arkoun menimbulkan beberapa pertentangan berkepanjangan antara kelompok-kelompok Islam (sunni, syi’ah dan khawarij). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji otentitas hadist dilihat dari epistemologi hadis i perspektif Sunni dan Syiah dengan fokus pada metode pengumpulan, verifikasi, dan interpretasi hadis dalam kedua tradisi.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode library research (studi literasi) dengan pendekatan komparatif untuk mengeksplorasi perbedaan dan kesamaan antara kedua tradisi dalam hal metodologi dan kriteria epistemologis. Data dikumpulkan melalui kajian literatur yang mendalam terhadap teks-teks klasik dan modern dari kedua mazhab. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua madzhab mempunyai beberapa perbedaan terkait sumber hadist, hakikat hadist, verifikasi hadist.

Penelitian  ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui: 1) Sikap kritis M.Amin Syukur terhadap tasawuf; 2) Sikap kritis M. Amin Syukur terhadap penyembuhan medis; 3)  Sikap kritis M. Amin  Syukur terhadap realitas penyembuhan saat ini. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh dari kajian literatur kepustakaan , utamanya dari buku sufi healing  karya M.Amin Syukur   dan literatur tentang oksidentalisme dari Hassan Hanafi .  Penelitian ini ini menggunakan pola pikir induktif-deduktif  dan atau deduksi-induktif  secara timbal balik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa : 1) M. Amin Syukur memiliki sikap kritis terhadap tasawuf. Tasawuf sebagai sebagai ajaran untuk meraih kedekatan dengan Allah SWT, dapat berfungsi sebagai metode penyembuhan  baik bagi diri (para sufi), maupun  orang awam.  Metode penyembuhan ini kemudian disebut dengan sufi healing. Sufi healing sebagai metode penyembuhan memiliki kelemahan, yaitu cenderung menyandarkan diripada teks kitab suci dan keyakinan, sebaliknya belum memiliki rujukan ilmiah. Untuk itu, M.Amin Syukur melakukan penelitian untuk menemukan rujukan ilmiah dan menemukannya dalam psikologi transpersonal dan psychoneuroendokrinimunology.; 2)  M.Amin syukur yang sangat kritis terhadap barat. Ia mengkritik era digital sebagai produk dari modernitas telah menyebabkan beberapa penyakit baik fisik maupun mental dalam masyarakat. Sementara itu penyembuhan dan penanganan medis  terhadap penyakit tersebut, memiliki beberapa kelemahan, sehingga diperlukan bantuan dari pendekatan lain, utamanya psikologi dan pendekatan spiritual (sufi healing);3) M.Amin Syukur juga memiliki sikap kritis terhadap realitas penyembuhan penyakit pada saat ini, sehingga ia sangat optimis dengan masa depan sufi healing sebagai salah satu penyembuhan alternatif dalam masyarakat, baik dalam praktik mandiri maupun sebagai pendamping penyembuhan medis.

Published: September 2024

En 2022, una vez que regresaron las actividades presenciales, directivos y docentes de Grupo Educativo Siglo XXI reflexionaron sobre la vida universitaria ante los cambios sociales y frente a la situación psicológica de docentes y alumnos. Como resultado de estas actividades surgió el documento “El Modelo Educativo Humanista Siglo XXI”. Aunado al espíritu de dicho texto se realizó el seminario titulado “La condición humana como centro del trabajo docente” con la participación de directivos, coordinadores y tutores, con el propósito de aplicar estas ideas en las licenciaturas y el posgrado. Además de la discusión académica realizada, se organizó la escritura de un libro colectivo, mismo que ahora se presenta. El pensamiento eje del texto es el análisis del lugar central de las personas dentro de las actividades universitarias. La formación en educación superior consiste en algo más que preparar para el ejercicio profesional; los jóvenes también necesitan hablar y tomar una postura ante su desarrollo personal, laboral y sobre la responsabilidad que tienen como agentes dentro de la sociedad. Este libro es resultado de ese trabajo. El libro presenta reflexiones sobre la necesidad ética de mirar, con atención, a cada ser humano presente en el proceso educativo. Los siete capítulos están acordes con Ley General de Educación Superior, donde en el artículo inciso 1, establece el “interés superior del estudiante” para que sea efectivo su derecho a la educación. Solo resta que quien lo lea agregue sus propias consideraciones y que este diálogo entre autores y lectores llegue a las aulas.

Published: September 2024

Climate change is a worldwide concern and it is closely related to agriculture. It may lead to substantial economic losses for farmers and affects crop production, causing food scarcity and price fluctuations in a region. This research primarily aims to analyse adaptation choices of farmers to climate change’s influences and their determining factors. For this purpose, a primary survey was conducted in the Cachar district of Assam from December, 2022 to July, 2023. To examine the determining factors of adaptation tactics to lessen the adverse influences of climate variations, Binary Logistic Regression (BLR) technique is employed. The findings of the BLR analysis reveal that the experience of farmers, family size, size of operational land holdings, education level, and proximity to the nearest town all exert significant influence on the various adaptation strategies employed.

An experiment was conducted during the Kharif season at the Agricultural Research Farm, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh). The experiment was carried out in Factorial RBD and replicated thrice, the treatments were taken as three crop geometry levels (G1 =15 × 15, G2 =20 × 11.25, G3 =25 ×9 cm2 ), and four nitrogen rates (N0 =0, N1 =75, N2 =150, N3 =225 kg ha-1). In the experiment, the rice variety Swarna Sub-1 was used. After the harvest, the crop growth parameters were studied and correlation was showed that yield was dependent on plant height, crop growth rate, leaf area index, SPAD value, and dry matter accumulation. Maximum higher grain yield (3932.49 kg ha-1), gross return (84658.69 ha-1), net return (44153.70 ha-1), B:C ratio (1.09) recorded with crop geometry (20 cm × 11.25 cm). The significantly higher grain yield (4274.78 kg ha-1), straw yield (5440.20 kg ha-1), gross return(90157.98 ha-1), net return (49124.24 ha-1), and B:C ratio (1.20) was recorded with nitrogen rate 150 kg ha-1. The interaction effect of crop geometry and nitrogen rates was found to be non-significant.
Efficacy of Okra pod extracts as a natural polymeric flocculant for kaolin suspension
Authors: Nasim Tanbir
Published: September 2024

This is probably the first report on flocculation of kaolin suspension using Okra pod extract (OP) as a novel biflocculant, which is very cheap and can be readily obtained. The flocculation experiments are done with OP at various pH and using different concentrations of OP. Settling time and turbidity were measured to optimize flocculant dose and pH. The flocculation experiments show that the optimum flocculant dose for kaolin suspension is 25 ppm, whereas 2.6 is the optimum pH. Reduced viscosity, average molecular size, zeta potential of the flocculants are measured, and scanning electron microscope images and water entrapment values of the resultant flocs are done to understand the mechanism of the flocculation process. Fourier transformed infrared, Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis and gel permeation chromatography have been performed on OP extracts to understand the content of the extract.

Ocimum basilicum L. (Lamiaceae), popularly known as basil, is an aromatic plant that extensively used for medicinal uses and to add a distinctive flavor and aroma to food. The present study aims to evaluate the phytochemical and antioxidant activity of this commercially important herb, which have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. The current investigation has been carried out to induce variations in Ocimum basilicum L. using Ethyl Methane Sulphonate (EMS), a chemical mutagen with different doses to determine the various parameters. The yield of various crude extract of screened mutant ranged from 1.12-3.22%. Phytochemical studies showed that protein, alkaloids, amino acid, carbohydrates, flavonoids, tannins, phenolics and saponin were present in all mutants. The total phenolic content of screened mutants of Ocimum basilicum L. showed large variation ranges in aqueous extract from 3.18 to 27.63 mg GAE/g and in ethanol extract 19.59 to 46.55mg GAE/g. The content of flavonoid varied in aqueous extract from 0.92 to 6.68 mg QE/g and in ethanol extract 9.12 to 34.9 mg QE/g. The study revealed that, in comparison to the standard ascorbic acid with an IC50 value of 229 µg/ml, all mutants exhibited IC50 values ranging from 84.66 to 496.7 µg/ml. These findings suggest that inducing mutagen causes variations, improves crops, evaluation of antioxidant potential and creates new genetic resources with desirable traits under diverse climatic conditions.
