A Trigonella foenum-graecum L. é considerada uma das plantas medicinais mais antigas do mundo e tem perfil medicinal e nutricional excepcionais (Petropoulos, 2003; BASU, 2014; Ahmad et al., 2016). O nome genético “Trigonella” tem origem no latim e significa “pequeno triângulo”, provavelmente atribuído ao formato de suas sementes. É também chamada de “chifre-de-boi” ou “chifre-de-cabra” devido as duas vagens de sementes que se projetam em direções opostas, geralmente a partir dos nós da base do caule que se assemelham a chifres (Mehrafarin et al., 2011). A trigonelina é o componente característico desse vegetal (Petropoulos, 2003; Feno-grego [...], 2016).

Há muito tempo, as plantas silvestres e suas propriedades nutricionais vêm sendo estudadas. Atualmente, estão chamando a atenção de cientistas em virtude de suas propriedades funcionais e fisiológicas e características organolépticas. Na azedinha-da horta, destaca-se a grande quantidade de resveratrol encontrada em suas folhas e raízes, visto que “tem pelo menos cem vezes mais resveratrol do que o suco de uva ou o vinho e similar à Polygonum cuspidatum” (Acauan, 2008). Outros autores também destacam o crisofanol, o physcion, a emodina, a emodina-8-O-β-D-glucopiranoside (Lee et al., 2005), catequina e epicatequina (Stöggl et al., 2004).
Um século sem novidades sobre o comprimento de onda de De Broglie?
Authors: Facin Paulo
Published: June 2024

Fez um século que o comprimento de onda de De Broglie foi proposto e a busca pela sua interpretação física ainda é um mistério. Aplicamos ao problema do experimento de Davisson e Germer (DG) a estratégia encontrada no trabalho “Uma ótica possivelmente mecânica” para resolver a “fenda dupla” com partículas, nesse caso o comprimento de onda de De Broglie se revela como a distância entre elétrons consecutivos num feixe de elétrons organizados de forma regular. Apresentamos argumentos para o ordenamento do feixe de elétrons utilizados no experimento de DG e a consequente relação entre a distância entre os elétrons e a voltagem que acelera o feixe. Além disso, apresentamos também, argumentos para uma interpretação física da frequência de um fóton como sendo o inverso do tempo de transição eletrônica que gerou o fóton, com a intenção de resolver de outra forma o paradoxo que De Broglie encontrou e que motivou seu trabalho.

Structural prediction of carbon cluster isomers with machine-learning potential
Authors: Nguyen Duy Huy
Published: June 2024

Structural prediction of low-energy isomers of carbon twelve-atom clusters is carried out using the recently developed machine-learning potential GAP-20. The GAP-20 agrees with density-functional theory calculations regarding geometric structures and average C-C bond lengths for most isomers. However, the GAP-20 substantially lowers the energies of cage-like structures, resulting in a wrong ground state. A comparison of the cohesive energies with the density-functional theory points out that the GAP-20 only gives good results for monocyclic rings. Two multicyclic rings appear as new low-energy isomers, which have yet to be discovered in previous research.

Background. Despite the fact that the study of the olfactory system is still difficult, the detection of dysosmia is promising for the diagnosis of a number of diseases. As a screening method, tests for the identification of various odors can be used. However, similar tests are developed and used for adults. In pediatrics, the use of such methods causes difficulty due to the cognitive and linguistic functions of the child, which are in the stage of development.
Aim — to study olfactory function in children using an identification test.
Methods. A diagnostic prospective study of 30 healthy children with no complaints of decreased olfactory function, living in the middle zone of the Russian Federation, mainly in the Moscow Metropolitan area, aged 11 to 14 y.o. was held. All children underwent a study of olfactory function using the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT). To control all children, olfactometry was performed using a patented method for assessing the thresholds of olfaction in children, based on the use of various concentrations of aqueous solutions of valerian tincture, ammonia and acetic acid.
Results. In the study of sense of smell with the help of an UPSIT test, hyposmia was detected in 30% of children, which was not confirmed later with the help of a threshold test. At the same time, when presenting some odorants, most of the answers were incorrect.
Conclusions. The use of olfactory tests developed for adults in children does not reflect the real state of the olfactory system. It is required to create kits for the study of the olfactory function specifically for the children’s category of patients.

Published: June 2024

Background. In Russia, there are no country level registries on HPV-associated pre-cancers (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, CIN; vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia, VIN; vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia, VaIN; anal intraepithelial neoplasia, AIN; penile intraepithelial neoplasia PIN) and anogenital warts (AWs) and no national-level cervical cancer screening program.
Aims — the aim of this study was to assess the proportion of patients with CIN, VIN, VaIN, AIN, PIN and AWs diagnosis in the clinical settings in Russia.
Methods. This study was a non-interventional retrospective multi-center chart-review study in 28 investigational sites representing 21 Federal subjects of 6 Federal Districts of Russia. Medical charts of adult men and women visited gynecology, sexual health, dermatovenerology or urology services between 1 Jan 2000 — 31 Dec 2019 were reviewed. Data were abstracted, using a standardized approach, on patient demographic characteristics, presence or absence of pre-cancers and AWs diagnoses, method of diagnosing pre-cancer and HPV infection, and grade of neoplasia.
Results. A total of 11 520 patients (1732 male and 9788 female) were included in the analysis. The overall proportion of patients with HPV-associated precancers and AWs was 10.8%. By service type, cases of HPV-associated conditions were revealed most often in dermatological departments (14.5%) and gynecological hospitals (13.8%). CIN detection rate in Russian clinical settings increased over the 20-years from 3.2 to 11.1% and was higher in gynecological in-patient departments compared to out-patient departments (12.5 and 5.2% respectively). The number of non-cervical precancers (VIN, VaIN, AIN, PIN) cases were very low (the detection rate was less than 1%). The frequency of HPV type 16 and 18 detection increased from 0.6 to 4.8%, and from 0.2 to 1.9%, respectively, for the 20-years period.
Conclusions. Our study suggested high level of HPV-related pre-cancer and AW disease burden as well as presence of high-risk HPV types. Preventive strategy through effective national HPV immunization program would be beneficial to reduce HPV-related disease burden in Russia.
Shift and Night Work in Technology Intensive Environment as a Health Hazard
Authors: Gorokhova Svetlana G. , Atkov Oleg Yu.
Published: June 2024

Flexible workday arrangement is a common management practice in the modern technology intensive society. The impact of shift work in night hours on human health has been a subject of a broad range of fundamental and applied studies in occupational medicine and in other fields. Epidemiological data and a body of research findings suggest that shift workers are prone to various pathologies. This paper summarizes current views on the link between shift and night work and the risk of chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), which are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among working population and are therefore a top priority. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses present strong evidence that shift workers have a higher risk of malignant tumors (breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer), coronary heart disease, and type 2 diabetes compared to daytime-only workers. There are, however, individual differences in the risk of NCDs that may depend on the length of employment and other circumstances. Also, factors are discussed that can modify the impact of shift work on the risk of associated pathologies, such as chronotype, changing length of night shifts, proper shift rotation, sufficient rest between shifts, etc. Mechanisms of genetic regulation of individual circadian rhythms and sleep-wake cycle are a crucial element in the conceptual model of influence of night work on body. Insufficient adaptation and plasticity of the circadian system may cause desynchronization between external time and inner biorhythms in shift workers; this is accompanied with changes in circadian genes expression and may lead to pathologies. If disturbed circadian rhythms are the main factor of etiopathogenesis, the term “circadian-related disease” should be used. Deep understanding of the link between circadian desynchronosis and health problems in shift workers is important to implement ‘circadian safety’ measures, i.e. to protect workers from negative consequences of disturbed individual biorhythms that may affect their work capacities and life quality. This will require standard protocols to study circadian disturbances, standard tools and methods to diagnose circadian rhythms in workers, resolving issues of interpretation in respect of occupational capacity, research on proneness and tolerance of workers to circadian-related problems, finding pharmacological and physical approaches to reduce circadian disturbances, considering special aspects of drug therapy of desynchronosis.
Investigating the Effects of Inclusive Environments on the Mental Health of Queer Individuals : A Study With the Rose City Rollers
Authors:   Portland State University, Lee Ashton
Published: June 2024

Purpose: Portland, OR, is home to the world’s largest roller derby organization, the Rose City Rollers (RCR). Having the spotlight held upon the community, the organization takes immense pride in communicating its ongoing embrace of its queer and uniquely diverse players. With historical and present prejudice against the LGBT+ community, derby stands as a haven for players looking for a place that will embrace each player's identity. The purpose of the study is to see how RCR’s openly queer settings specifically impact the well-being of its queer members. Methods: November 2023, I conducted three interviews and a research group using three Rose City Rollers skaters’. The players had been recruited through the organization, where I was looking for a specific skill level and team applicable to each of the three participants. The players ended up being all B/C level skaters who belonged to the wreckers team. Additionally, each person self-identified as being a part of the LGBT+ community. Results: Three major themes were continuously mentioned by the participants. They talked about the amount of emotional validation and sense of community found in roller derby, as well as how the vocality of a community fosters trust in its members. The participants brought up the importance of representation of queer individuals and how that contributes to positive mental health and self-esteem. Conclusion: The roller derby players from this study had an overwhelmingly positive outlook on the effects RCR had on their mental health. Having RCR foster a safe and representative community for a vast population allowed the participants to freely express themselves. The combination of deep emotional validation, persistent activism, and representation fostered trust within each member interviewed. With that they had also felt seen and empowered, highlighting the importance of constant activism and representation for queer Individuals.
IMPACT OF FILLING RATIO AND CELLULOSE NANOFIBER NANOFLUID ON THE TOTAL THERMAL RESISTANCE AND THE STARTUP OF A MINIATURE THERMOSYPHON
Authors: Mekcem Maroua , Berkani Mahieddine , Bilgili Muhittin
Published: June 2024

Thermosyphons are highly effective heat transfer devices used for thermal management in different fields, such as
electronic systems, solar collectors and nuclear reactors. The working fluid within the thermosyphon provides the heat
transport from the evaporator to the condenser and limits its thermal performance. In this study, the influence of filling ratio (FR) and the eco-friendly cellulose nanofiber (CNF) nanofluid concentration on the total thermal resistance and the startup of a two-phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT) at various heat loads are investigated experimentally. The working fluids are deionized water (DI) and CNF suspensions with 0.5, 1, and 2 vol.% and filling ratios were set to 25, 50, and 75%. Total thermal resistance of the TPCT was obtained using the recorded data of wall temperature distribution at the steady state of each experiment. Addition of CNF with 1 vol.% to DI at filling ratio of 75% reduced the evaporator wall temperature by 40% and 23%, also it reduced the total thermal resistance by 58.78% and 33.65% at 20 W and 80 W, respectively. Moreover, it shortened the startup duration by 33% and reduced its temperature by
42%. This paper contains important findings that prove that CNF enhanced the thermal performance of the TPCT
when applying an appropriate concentration and filling ratio.
INVESTIGATING THE INFLUENCE OF THERMAL RADIATION AND TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT VISCOSITY ON CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY LAYER MAXWELL NANOFLUID FLOW OVER A MOVABLE SURFACE
Authors: Khan Sami Ullah , Imtiaz Maria , Khan M. Ijaz
Published: June 2024

The objective of the current work is to communicate the thermal interpretation of Maxwell nanofluid attaining the
variable thermal features. The variable assumptions of nanofluid viscosity and thermal conductivity are attributed to analyze the heat and mass transfer problem. The key contribution of radiated heat transfer phenomenon and heat source was also accounted for. An elastic stretching surface causes the flow. The convective thermal conditions are utilized to bolster the heat transfer impact. The simplified problem is solved by employing the novel Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg approach. The physical visualization of results is predicted using various plots. It is predicted that the heat transfer enhances the Deborah number. The assumptions of variable viscosity and thermal conductivity are more useful to improve the heat transfer phenomenon.

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, romantik ilişkilerde bir duygusal manipülasyon türü
olan “gaslighting” ile demografik faktörler ve kişilik özelliklerinin ilişkisini inceleyen
çalışmalar hakkında geleneksel bir derleme yapmaktır. Anahtar kelimeler, (gaslighting)
AND (personality) AND (“romantic relations” OR “intimate partnership”); (gaslighting)
AND (kişilik) AND (“romantik ilişkiler” OR “yakın ilişkiler”) olarak belirlenmiş olup,
2000-2023 yılları arasında yayınlanmış araştırmalar “Science Direct”, “Google Scholar”,
“Medline”, “PubMed”, “YÖK Tez Merkezi” ve “Web of Science” veri tabanlarında
taranmıştır. Tarama sonucunda, bu derlemeye toplam 15 çalışma dâhil edilmiştir.
Sosyodemografik özelliklere ilişkin bulgular bir arada incelendiğinde, konuya ilişkin
gelecekte daha fazla araştırma yapılması önerilmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra gaslighting
uygulayan ve buna maruz kalanların cinsiyetlerinden çok, cinsiyet stereotiplerine
toplumsal olarak atfedilen güç eksenli özelliklerin gaslighting uygulama ve buna maruz
kalma ile daha yakından ilişkili olabileceği düşünülmüştür. Bahse konu olasılık dolaylı
yoldan, ilişkideki güç dengesi- gaslighting ilişkisine dair kısıtlı araştırma bulguları

WHAT CHANGED IN PERSONAL DEBT ENFORCEMENT SINCE ANCIENT TIMES?
Authors: Eyerci Cem
Published: June 2024

Debt default has various adverse effects on the parties of a loan transaction, namely the debtor, lender, market, and society. Many mechanisms have been developed for debt enforcement since ancient times. Unfortunately, the sanctions used in enforcement, especially for personal debts, have always been quite harsh. This paper evaluates the instruments used in personal debt enforcement. It presents that some sanctions used in ancient societies are still utilized in modern economies. While the traditional insolvency regulations focused only on protecting the lender by disregarding the humanitarian aspect, current laws also aim at the relief of defaulted individuals. Although there is no more death penalty and slavery, and are too few imprisonment practices today, the ancient instrument of seizing assets is still an essential sanction with some exemptions. Debt bondage is also not employed nowadays. However, confiscating the individuals’ future income may be considered a modern form of debt bondage.

Sosyal bilimler ekseninde, bilimsel yöntemler kullanarak ölçme aracı geliştirmenin önemi her geçen gün daha fazla artmaktadır. Çünkü ancak geçerli, güvenilir ve kullanılabilir ölçme ve değerlendirme tekniklerinin kullanılmasıyla doğru bilgiye ulaşmak mümkün hale gelmektedir. Ölçek geliştirme araştırması ve geliştirilmiş ölçekle detaylı bilgi elde etmeyi amaçlayan saha uygulama çalışmasında doğru bilgiye ulaşmanın yolu, mümkün olduğunca hata payı azaltılmış verilerin toplanmasından geçmektedir. Veri toplamak için gerekli olan araçlardan biri de ölçeklerdir. Sosyal bilimler alanında araştırmacılar, bireylerin belli olaylar karşısındaki kanaat, eğilim ve beklentilerini ölçmek ve karşılaştırmak amacıyla ölçeklerden yararlanırlar. Bunun için de araştırmacılar tarafından bir ölçek geliştirilebilir ya da var olan bir ölçek uyarlanabilir. Ölçek geliştirme, ölçülmesi düşünülen düşünce, tutum ve davranışları ortaya çıkaracak maddeleri geliştirme sürecidir ve geliştirilmesi, uyarlanması ve çalışır olması sürecinde dikkat edilmesi gereken birtakım temel aşamalar vardır. Zira bu aşamalar göz önünde bulundurulmadan hazırlanan bir ölçeğin geçerliği ve güvenirliği düşük olur. Bu odak noktasından yola çıkan çalışma, geçerli, güvenilir ve kullanılabilir bir ölçme aracının geliştirilme süreçlerini ayrıntılı olarak ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. Çalışma kapsamında bir ölçek geliştirilirken dikkat edilmesi gereken aşamalar, örneklem seçimi ve uygulamasının nasıl yürütüleceği, ölçek geliştirmede geçerlik ve güvenirlik sürecinin nasıl işlediği ele alınmaktadır. Çalışmanın, ölçek geliştirmede dikkat edilmesi gereken aşamalar hakkında bilgi vererek, nitelikli ve özgün ölçek geliştirme çalışmalarının artmasına katkı sağlayacağı, bu yönde çalışma yapacak araştırmacılara nitelikli bir rehber oluşturacağı ve yöntemsel bir yol haritası sunacağı düşünülmektedir.
II. ABDÜLHAMİD HİZMETİNDE MISIRLI BİR YAHUDİ: YA‘KÛB SANNÛ‘, İSTANBUL SEYAHATİ VE AVRUPA’DA SULTAN PROPAGANDASI (1891-1908)
Authors: Asoğlu İsmail
Published: June 2024

Bu çalışma, Mısır’daki muhalif hareketin öncülerinden Ya‘kûb Sannû‘nun (1839-1912) Avrupa’da yürüttüğü II. Abdülhamid sözcülüğüne odaklanıyor. Amaç Yahudi bir aktivistin Sultan ile bağını, bürokrasideki hizipleşmeler, Osmanlı hariciye politikaları ve diplomatik süreçler üzerinden anlamaya çalışmaktır. Sannû‘nun Padişah ile görüşmeye başladığı 1891’den II. Meşrutiyet’in ilanına (1908) kadar geçen süre, çalışmanın sınırlılığında belirleyici olmuştur. Ya‘kûb Sannû‘ Mısır’ın İtalyan kökenli Yahudi bir ailesine mensuptur. 1878’de Hidiv İsmail’e yönelttiği eleştiriler, Mısır’dan kovulup Paris’e yerleşmesi ile sonuçlanır. Avrupalı aydın ve siyasiler ile kurduğu temaslar sayesinde Osmanlı Padişah’ı nazarında itibar görür ve uzun yıllar Hazine-i Hassa’dan ödeme alır. Huzura çıktığı 1891 Haziran’ından itibaren Avrupa kamuoyunda Padişah’ın hasarlı imajını düzeltmeye çalışır. Yazı ve söylemleri her ne kadar “Sultan methiyesi” üzerine kurgulanmış olsa da esasında Mısır’ı işgal eden İngilizlere karşı pan-İslamizm siyasetini kullanışlı görmektedir. Kuzey Afrika Müslümanlarına Fransa’yı yüceltir, Sultan huzurunda ise Osmanlı kimliğine bürünür. İngilizlere karşı Osmanlı-Fransız yakınlaşması için çabalasa da bu politikası başarıya ulaşmaz. İttihat ve Terakki yönetimine yanaşmaya çalışır ancak itibar göremeyince aktif siyasetten çekilir. Sannû‘üzerine literatürün pek çoğu onun edebi birikimine eğilirken, politik tutumları üzerine çalışmalar sayıca daha azdır. Sultan ile görüşmeleri tamamıyla Sannû‘nun Fransa dönüşü demeçlerine dayandırılırken, İstanbul nazarındaki yerine ilişkin pek anlatı sunulmaz. Oysa Cumhurbaşkanlığı Osmanlı Arşivlerindeki Paris Sefareti yazışmaları, gezi ve seyahatlerinin betimlendiği gazete ve kitapçıklar onun İstanbul ile olan rabıtasını detaylandırmaktadır.

THE ROLE OF ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS FACTORS IN THE FORMATION OF CIVIL IDENTITY OF STUDENT YOUTH
Authors:   Kyrgyz State University named after I. Arabayev, Nusubalieva Eliza
Published: June 2024

This article reveals the issues related to civic identity. Identity manifests and consolidates many properties of a person. There are ethnic, national, gender, social, cultural, religious, personal and many other forms of identity, which, intersecting with each other, exist in a complex and contradictory unity, complementing or denying each other.In the social context, the civic identity of young people is an important factor for social development. The quality of civic identity affects the quality of social practices and social development. In the context of social change, civic identity can take different forms, which can affect the socialization of young people and, consequently, their ability to accept the values of a given society. In a stable society, issues of civic identity are not as acute as in Kyrgyzstan, which is characterized by high mobility, instability and changeability of social reality. Kyrgyzstan faces the problem of preserving its identity as a system that reproduces itself and is oriented both towards integration into the world community and the preservation of its unique values and goals. . Social development is based on certain patterns that act as a basis for new generations to identify with society in its basic sociocultural dimensions.

Objectives: Software quality models are well-accepted ways to control and guide software quality to enhance user effectiveness and work productivity. However, an adequate understanding of software quality assessment factors that promote the effective operation of Learning Management Systems (LMS) among users in educational contexts needs to be adequate. This study aimed to identify from the literature quality factors, sub-quality factors of the quality factors and their meanings from mainly used software quality factor models, explain Ehlers's Model of subjective quality requirements of e-learning systems and match the quality factors with Ehlers's model and develop a software quality model for e-learning. Methods: Drawing on software quality literature and Ehlers' Quality Model for educational technologies, we propose an LMS Software Quality Factor Model for assessing LMS effectiveness among users in educational contexts. Findings: The proposed model highlights relevant user-centred parameters (predominantly, "Reliability", "Efficiency", and "Flexibility/Evolvability") that ensure LMS quality and effectiveness among users. Novelty : This research is novel from the point of view of determining quality factors for LMS using an existing e-learning model, Ehlers’s user-based e-learning requirement model in this particular instant.

An Integrated Framework for Early Differential Diagnosis of COVID-19 using Improved Fuzzy Cognitive Map Approaches
Authors:   Head of the Department, Department of Computer Science, National College, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India, Akilashri P S S , Nithya G
Published: June 2024

Background/Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has created an urgent need for rapid and accurate diagnosis to facilitate timely treatment and control spread. However, the initial symptoms can be non-specific, making early differential diagnosis challenging. Methods: This study proposes an integrated framework for COVID-19 diagnosis using improved Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) approach for fast, intelligent screening of COVID-19 cases versus other respiratory conditions based on risk factors and clinical presentation. The integrated framework is designed based on combining fuzzy cognitive maps with different classifiers separately such as Random Forest (RF) classifier, Gradient Boosting (GB) classifier and Weighted Decision Tree (WDT) approach to model interrelationships between indicative symptoms and risk factors in COVID-19. The model is evaluated on a real time COVID-19 dataset of 600 patient details (i.e., 520 non-covid and 80 Covid). Due to the unbalanced nature of class labels, this work is evaluated based on balanced accuracy and Matthews’s correlation coefficient to identify the appropriate model. Findings: Among the different combination of classifiers FCM-RF attains 95.91% which outperforms 15.14%, 5.05% and 7.69% higher than normal FCM, FCM-GB and FCM-WDT. Novelty: The interpretability of the fuzzy map supplemented by the high predictive performance of random forest provides an effective decision support system for frontline healthcare workers to make quick, reliable screening decisions and ensure optimal care pathways. The integrated approach demonstrates the potential of computational intelligence in addressing critical diagnosis challenges within complex, urgent medical scenarios.

Objective: To find out the sensory problem apart from the motor issues in a case of Cerebral Palsy (CP) with a complicated birth history. Method: Along with a thorough motor assessment of the child, the parents of CP Child were subjected to an interview for the examination of associated sensory problems. The caregiver's experiences related to sensory problems were recorded and divided into different domains. For the evaluation of complications and motor symptoms, a variety of assessment techniques were used. Findings: Sensory issues find out under ten domains: Gustatory, Tactile, Vestibular, Proprioception, Movement Processing, Visual, Auditory, Olfactory, General Processing, and Stereognosis. Motor development was delayed and hampered in the child. Spasticity was significantly marked in the lower limbs because its gait and balance were disturbed. Along with the motor problems sensory issues are significantly disturbed in the presented case. Novelty: This study is unique not only because it addressed an exceptional case of CP with a complex birth history. In addition, the study concentrated on the sensory issues that were neglected in earlier research. Conclusion: The child of CP exhibited many sensory problems along with motor complications. Before starting treatment it is important to evaluate the sensory issue, apart from motor symptoms.

Objectives: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the activity of enzymes with hydrocarbon-degrading potential. Methods: Four petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading bacterial strains, S4P2, S14P1, S9D2, and S13D1, were isolated and used to screen the activity of catalase, lipases, and catechol 1, 2-dioxygenase. All the strains were characterized biochemically. The presence of catalase was studied using nutrient agar and absorbance was measured at 240 nm due to the disappearance of peroxide. Qualitatively, the presence of lipase was studied on tributyrin agar (TBA) plates. The lipase activity was quantified using the titrimetric method. The activity of catechol 1, 2-dioxygenase (C12O) was screened by the formation of the product cis, cis-muconic acid (CCMA) by measuring the absorbance at 260 nm. Findings: Bacterial strains S4P2, S14P1, S9D2, and S13D1 showed clear halo zones around TBA plates, indicating lipase activity. Similarly, quantitively lipase activity was highest in S4P2 (0.034±0.01 U/ml) and S13D1 (0.027±0.01 U/ml) followed by S9D2 (0.024±0.01 U/ml) and S14P1 (0.024±0.01 U/ml) respectively. The presence of catalase was confirmed by effervescence after the addition of H2O2 on cultured nutrient agar, quantitative screening was performed by checking the decrease in absorbance at 240 nm. The maximum activity was observed in isolates S9D2 and S14P1. The total catechol 1, 2-dioxygenase activity was found to be 18.48±0 U/ml and 8.96±0.56 U/ml in S9D2 and S13D1. In contrast, S14P1 and S4P2 showed 12.88±0.56 U/ml and 16. 8±0.U/ml. Novelty: Microbial enzymes play an important role in the degradation of hydrocarbons. The direct application of microbes offers many constraints, so the use of these enzymes as a cocktail may be a solution for bioremediation. In the present study, we aimed to elucidate the enzymes responsible for hydrocarbon degradation in previously unreported strains, Pseudomonas donghuensis and Azospirillum zeae. Therefore, this enzyme can be used as a bioremediation agent for petroleum-contaminated sites. Keywords: Petroleum; Catalase; Lipases; Catechol 1,2-dioxygenase; Hydrocarbons
