Authors: Kathade Suyash Arunrao , Arjun Aswani Mayur , Kaur Anand Pashmin
Published: March 2022

Most importantly milk contains many beneficial probiotic microorganisms, hence, it has been sourced for the isolation of many probiotic bacteria. Due to the huge microbial diversity and functionality, there is scope to isolate microorganisms, evaluate them for probiotic potential. It is also important to compare the diversity of probiotic microorganisms in the postpartum periods of milk. In the present study, cultures were isolated from three different postpartum periods milk of Goat, Sheep, Cow, and Buffalo. The 182 cultures were isolated, only 127 were selected by colony characterization and 69 were selected after biochemical analysis such as Gram nature, endospore, catalase, acid-fast, and mannitol fermentation, 54 were non-hemolytic, 47 could tolerate a wide range of pH, bile, temperature, and NaCl. 30 isolates could survive in the presence of a gastric and intestinal environment. These cultures showed inhibitory activity against enteropathogens and did satisfy the need for auto and co-aggregation property. 17 cultures showed BSH and hydrophobicity activity, only 6 cultures showed susceptibility against all types of antibiotics. As per the results from the total potential probiotic cultures from various animal milk samples, 80% from first and second postpartum and 20% cultures from third postpartum milk were isolated, as per the results as milk ages, the probiotic concentration in the milk decreases.

Globally hepatitis C virus is recognized as one of the basic health issues of liver and result in chronic liver diseases whose diagnosis is difficult and possible only with symptoms until it may leads to liver cancer. DNA damage along with lipids and protein oxidation is caused as result of oxidative stress in hepatitis patients. This work was carried out to search out the oxidation of protein and lipids per-oxidation with relative to DNA damage for hepatitis C patients. Sampling was done in 50 suspected patients among them 20 were positive for HCV, while 30 were negative. With the help of 2-4, dinitrophenyl hydrazine assay quantification of protein carbonyls was done and results showed much increased values than normal. Biochemical parameters of HCV such as complete blood count, triglycerides and cholesterol level were recorded. The results were significant in positive cases than the control group. The study elaborated a new window in the research of chronic HCV patients for severe biochemical parameters alterations, over oxidation of proteins and liver dysfunction. It was therefore concluded that oxidative stress was responsible for increased level of protein oxidation and altered biochemical parameters that leads to damage of liver

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a chronic pulmonary vasculature disorder characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling and elevated pulmonary artery pressures. Clinical manifestations, laboratory work-ups, cardiopulmonary exercise testing and 6-minute walk distance are helpful in reaching the correct diagnosis. The definite diagnosis relies on right heart catheterization. Pulmonary perfusion imaging with computed tomographic pulmonary angiography is similar to the effect of pulmonary angiography, showing important diagnostic values. Routine biochemistry, hematology and thyroid function tests as well as antinuclear antibodies can be helpful. Conventional medication, palliative septostomy and lung transplantation are treatments of choice. Novel techniques including microRNA, mesenchymal stem cell and remote postconditioning treatments have achieved initial therapeutic effects. Recent studies have demonstrated the potential effectiveness of inhaled nitric oxide, milrinone, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors and prostacyclin analogues for the treatment of PAH in pediatric patients.

 
Romans 15:4 and the Canterbury Tales: A Modest Proposal Concerning Chaucer’s Entente
Authors: Mcguire Riley
Published: March 2022

Critical debates of the last century and the first decades of this century concerning Chaucer’s authorial intention in the Canterbury Tales have been defined by two poles: simply put, on one hand, those who read authorial moral seriousness into the Tales, and, on the other, those who read authorial subversive ends into them. By means of a sustained engagement with some representative voices from these poles and careful readings, this article steers away from extreme positions to propose a modicum of common ground. The presence of Romans 15:4 in the moralitas at the end of the Nun’s Priest’s Tale and Chaucer’s Retraction a priori injects a dose of (unsimplistic) moral earnest into Chaucer’s entente in the Tales.
Welsh Witchcraft Revelations and Ruins: The Example of Mari Berllan Biter
Authors: Tallis Lisa Mari
Published: March 2022

The supernatural in Wales, as in many places across the British Isles, is very topographical. Much of its landscape, features, sites, and buildings inspires and attracts the supernatural in equal measure. This article considers this relationship and the issues surrounding the historical and cultural interpretation of the supernatural in Wales through a close examination of a small, ruined cottage in the village of Pennant in Ceredigion, orCardiganshire. It was the home of Mary Davies (ca.1817–1898), or Mari Berllan Biter – a reputed witch. This article will reveal how the intricacies of witchcraft beliefs in Wales are revealed through a close analysis of not only the historical evidence surrounding Mari, but also the physical remnants of her ruined cottage, thus highlighting the potential for collaboration between the spheres of history, heritage, and archaeology in understanding the key role of supernatural beliefs on our landscape.
“Creative” Microhistories, Difficult Heritage, And “Dark” Public History: The Islandmagee Witches (1711) Project
Authors: Sneddon Andrew
Published: March 2022

This article charts a decade-long project on the trial of the Islandmagee witches in County Antrim (Northern Ireland) in 1711. The project comprised three overlapping and connected phases that negotiated a pathway between researching the history of the trial, its interpretative representation in public discourse, and finding impactful ways to bring this research to wider audiences. It demonstrates that creatively and carefully pitched, microhistories of specific trials can fruitfully add to key historiographical debates in witchcraft studies but when combined with sustained, targeted dissemination and co-produced and collaborative public history, it can open up hidden, but important parts of cultural history and dark heritage to wider audiences. This is especially important in countries such as Northern Ireland that have largely overlooked their witch hunting past and where public remembrance and commemoration of witch trials can be difficult and provoke controversy.

Published: March 2022

Background and Purpose: A growing field of interest is exploration of the functional outcomes of post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with stroke after rehabilitation. The association between stroke and COVID-19 infection is still being studied. We had explored the functional gain in post-COVID-19 patients with stroke following active rehabilitation services in Qatar to understand the possible predictors of functional gain.

Methods: We had included twenty patients diagnosed with post-COVID-19 with stroke in this retrospective pilot study conducted at a Qatar rehabilitation setting. We had used preexisting data from electronic medical records. We had included the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), post-COVID-19 functional status (PCFS), Action Research Arm Test (ARAT), Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), and Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) as outcome measures. We had used descriptive statistics to summarize the baseline characteristics. A paired t-test had been used to compare the pre and posttests of the study group at admission and discharge. Multiple regression analyses had been performed to assess the predictors of functional gain, including age, employment status, impaired side, family history, and length of stay (LOS). All the results had been presented with associated 95% confidence intervals.

Results: This study had revealed an increase in functional gain (mean FIM gain, 32.9 ± 8.9) and improvements in functional performance throughout active rehabilitation (LOS, 62.45 ± 37.61). Significant differences had been noted in all outcome measures from admission until discharge (p < 0.05). Age (β = − 0.769, p = 0.022) and impaired side (β = 0.573, p = 0.007) had significantly predicted National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores. Age (β = − 0.764, p = 0.047) had been a major factor that significantly predicted FIM gain. LOS (β = − 0.990, p = 0.002) had predicted FAC. The mean age was 56 ± 8 years.

Conclusion: Various factors are independently associated with functional gain after rehabilitation. Our findings suggest that active rehabilitation services and immediate intervention will be required to rehabilitate post-COVID-19 patients with stroke, a vulnerable population, to achieve adequate functional improvement.

Authors: Mehrabi Samrad , Bagheri Soroush
Published: March 2022

Background: Polysomnography is the gold standard diagnostic method for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and on-time treatment can help prevent further complications of obstructive sleep apnea. However, polysomnography is associated with some difficulties for the patients and physicians, which hinder its application. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical features and polysomnography findings of patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from polysomnography studies at the Sleep Laboratory of Namazi Hospital, Shiraz, Iran, from February 2013 to December 2017. Polysomnography was performed for any patients suspected of obstructive sleep apnea. The researcher reviewed the data extracted and selected the essential clinical features for the statistical analysis. The association of variables with the polysomnography findings was analyzed.

Results: Significant associations were observed between the following factors and severity of obstructive sleep apnea: older age (p = 0.01), snoring (p = 0.122), history of sleep disorders (p = 0.11), no sedatives before sleep (p = 0.039), nocturia (p = 0.001), apnea (p = 0.035), no smoking (p = 0.039), no substance abuse (p = 0.011), hypertension (p = 0.001), cardiac diseases (p = 0.025), and overweight and obesity (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Considering the concomitant occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea with obesity, hypertension, cardiac disease, snoring, and observed apnea, polysomnography is recommended in these patients before further assessments.

Bunga melati yang dikenakan pengantin wanita sebagai simbol kesucian dan keperawanan; dan sajen memiliki simbol ‘damai’ dengan siapapun yang akan mengganggu.
Ciudadanía y etnicidad en las Cortes de Cádiz
Authors: O’Phelan Godoy Scarlett
Published: March 2022

El propósito de este artículo es analizar cómo percibieron los diputados reunidos en las Cortes de Cádiz, de 1810 a 1814, la conformación del nuevo cuerpo político que, desde ese momento, debía legislar sobre España y sus extinguidas colonias, que ya eran parte integrante de la monarquía. Me interesa enfatizar el papel que jugó la etnicidad en el momento de establecer quienes estaban en condiciones de ser considerados ciudadanos, dentro del proyecto constitucional de 1812, y quienes no. Con este objetivo es importante precisar y destacar cuáles fueron los argumentos que se tejieron en torno a la participación, visiblemente restringida, de los indios y sobre todo de las “castas.” Los alcances limitados de su actuación son un reflejo de la cultura política de quienes, a pesar de su declarada tendencia liberal, no pudieron desprenderse de los prejuicios raciales que arrastraban a partir de la experiencia colonial, donde indios y “castas” habían sido sistemáticamente postergados de una representación política alturada.

Published: March 2022

In the context of the world economy entering the globalization phase, the comparative advantage of economic development is shifting from being rich in resources, rich in capital, and cheap labor costs to advantages in quality human resources. Human resources have a direct and lasting impact on the development of each individual, family, and social community. Investment in people is a strategic investment, which is the firmest basis for sustainable development. Because of that, human resource development was and is becoming a very urgent mission not only at the national level but also a matter of each region, based on geographical characteristics, population, and requirements for socio-economic development orientation. For Vietnam, promoting the role of education and training in human resource development is influenced by objective, multidimensional and complex factors, including internal and external impacts; both positive and negative; both opportunities and challenges to education and training to train human resources for socio-economic services. Therefore, it requires us to continue to research and analyze to have an objective and comprehensive assessment of the above issue.

Authors: Osemeahon Sunday A. , Reuben Usaku , Emmanuel Ezekiel
Published: March 2022

Background: This study aimed to develop adhesive from waste polystyrene, which has the capacity to both reduce environmental pollution and create wealth from waste. Methods: Polystyrene waste was obtained from waste heap “bola” around Jimeta metropolis, Yola, Adamawa State, Nigeria. The polystyrene waste was washed and dried. The washed waste was used to formulate adhesive using various solvents such as toluene, gasoline, blend of gasoline and toluene, and blend of gasoline and acetone. The formulated adhesives were characterized by study some physical properties of the formulated adhesive, such as; viscosity, bond strength, pH, solid content, moisture content and drying time. Results: The adhesive formulated from the blend of toluene and acetone gave the best performance from the physical properties. The adhesive from blend of toluene and acetone as solvent was then selected for application on different surfaces such as plastic, plywood, aluminum, glass and ceramic. The Bond strength of the selected adhesive was measured on these surfaces as follows; plastic (6.74 MPa), ceramics (5.9 MPa), glass (5.9 MPa), plywood (7.04 MPa) and aluminum sheet (0.76 MPa). The pH of the adhesive was 6.58, viscosity;467, drying time; 2.44minutes, solid content (% SC); 90.62 % and the moisture content (% MC) of the adhesive was 9.38 %. The adhesive on optimization, established that increase in concentration of polyvinyl acetate impact greatly on the bond strength of the adhesive. Glycerol was used as plasticizer that improved the flexibility of the adhesive but it raises the moisture content (% MC) of the adhesive. Conclusion: It was concluded that creation of wealth while reducing environmental pollution, through production of environmentally friendly adhesive from waste plastics, is a viable task. This research hereby introduces a new adhesive to the adhesive industry
The Concept of Clinical Endometriosis: A Paradigm Shift in Africa
Authors: M Afolabi Bamgboye
Published: March 2022

The clinical symptoms of endometriosis, an illness characterized by ectopic endometrium (glands and stroma) outside the uterus, are mainly dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, cyclic urinary symptoms and infertility. Although imaging modalities such as pelvic ultrasound can identify and localize endometriotic deposits in the ovary (endometrioma) and in bladder wall, diagnosis of the disease is impossible where such imaging modalities are unavailable or where clinicians are not trained to clinically diagnose endometriosis during consultation. Especially in sub-Saharan Africa, clinicians should be familiar with certain predisposing risk factors for endometriosis such as early age at menarche, shorter menstrual length and low body mass index. Delay in the diagnosis of endometriosis not only prolongs the duration of suffering, pain and discomfort but also lowers quality of life and increases cost of treatment. This article focuses on how gynecologists and clinicians in sub-Saharan Africa can easily identify the symptomatology of endometriosis. Clinical presentations of endometriosis in Black African women may not be different from presentations among Caucasian women. Though a confusing illness for the patient and for the clinician, at least, African gynecologists, clinicians and general practitioners can have a suspicion of endometriosis when a Black African woman presents with a combination of infertility, pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia. This article discusses various conditions associated with endometriosis in adolescent women and in women in child-bearing age group.
Hesitancy of Covid-19 Vaccination among Teenagers and Young Adults
Authors: Rokkam Venkata Ram Pradeep
Published: March 2022

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is a global pandemic and has led to serious illness and death among all ages and even in younger adults who are otherwise healthy. The best way to prevent and slow down the transmission of this deadly disease is to get vaccinated. As per the CDC teenagers and young adults between the ages of 12 to 24 have the lowest vaccination rate among those eligible to receive a COVID vaccine. We did a survey-based study among high school and college students to find out the reasons for the reluctance of Covid 19 vaccination.

Authors: C Kalaiselvi , C Jothimanivannan , M Gomathi , Kumar M Praveen
Published: March 2022

Lamivudinecomes underclass II drugs according to BCS classification. It is poorly water-soluble drug. It has maximum solubility in pH 1.2 and therefore it will be beneficial to retain the drug in stomach for longer period of time for better absorption. Hence, it was found necessary to develop a gastric retentive dosage form containing Lamivudinein order to increase the gastric residence time to enhance its absorption and they’re by its oral bioavailability. Also, the slow release of the drug in stomach may avoid the stomach pain associated with immediate release of the drug. The ultimate aim was to design, develop and optimize the floating tablets containing Lamivudinein order to increase its gastric retention time for enhancing absorption in stomach as well as to produce a controlled release of the drug for a longer time using polymers such as Carbopol, and EudragitS100.
Voice Feature Correlates of Emphatic /ṭ/ and /ṣ/ in Jeddah Arabic
Authors: Maghrabi Reem
Published: March 2022

This research examines whether emphatic /ṭ/ and /ṣ/, both voiceless in Jeddah Arabic, show in their other voice feature correlates values that differentiate them from voiceless /t s/ and from voiced /d z/. A data set of a total of 600 words (10 speakers x 6 test words of the form /CVC(C)V:C/ (e.g. /χaṭṭa:ṭ/ ‘calligrapher’, /χaṣa:ṣa/ ‘gap, crevice’) x 10 repetitions) were collected and recorded by ten adult female native speakers of Jeddah Arabic aged 40–49. Results show that, like many languages, the voiced consonants tend to be shorter than the voiceless ones and vowels tend to be longer before them (Chen 1970). Results also indicate that in this parameter, Jeddah Arabic /ṭ/ retains some evidence of its historical non-voicelessness. This could mean that /ṭ/ and /ṣ/ are well on the way to completing a historical change from ejectives to fully voiceless consonants.
The L1 Semantic Retrieval of L2 Words: Evidence from Advanced L2 Learners’ Reaction Times
Authors: Alshehri Amira Abdullah
Published: March 2022

According to the first language (L1) lemma mediation hypothesis, second language learners, regardless of their level of second language (L2) proficiency, access the meaning of L2 words via their first language (Jiang, 2004). To test this hypothesis, a semantic judgment task was conducted on 30 advanced Arab speakers of English, in which they were presented with 86 pairs of English words and had to decide whether each pair was semantically related. Some semantically related pairs are classified as same translation pairs because their members share the same L1 translation, whereas others are semantically related but do not share the same L1 translation, hence they are classified as different translation pairs. Two instruments were used to record the reaction times and determine accuracy: DMDX and Gorilla. The results revealed that the highly proficient L2 speakers rated same translation pairs as semantically related significantly faster than their responses to different translation pairs. When compared with the 28 native speakers’ results, there was a significant difference in the reaction times of the two groups. This provides evidence that the underlying processes of L1 and L2 vocabulary acquisition is substantially different: L2 learners rely on their well-established conceptual system to access the meaning of L2 words.
