Published: September 2024

This review presents data on plants of the genus Potentilla. Some representatives of this genus, features of their distribution, as well as qualitative and quantitative composition are described. Scientific literature data on the pharmacological activity of plants of the genus Potentilla are presented. It has been noted that plants of the genus Potentilla contain amino acids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, saponins, tannins, fatty acids, polysaccharides, macro- and microelements, etc. It has been shown that extracts based on plants of the genus Potentilla exhibit a wide range of effects: antiulcer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, immunostimulating, etc. The information presented in the review demonstrates that to date, plants of the genus Potentilla have been studied fragmentarily; among the representatives of the genus, most species are unstudied. The most studied, both in Russia and abroad, are P. alba, P. erecta, P. recta and P. anserina, which provides prerequisites for a more detailed study of the chemical composition of other species of the genus Potentilla and requires additional research into the pharmacological action of extraction preparations based on them. Thus, the available scientific literature data proving the rich phytochemical composition and wide range of effects of plants of the genus Potentilla ar-gue for the prospects of their further study and the creation on their basis of medicinal and parapharmaceuticals for modern medicine and pharmacy, as well as the use of cinquefoil species in the pharmaceutical and food industries

Introduction. Polyprenols are known as a class of natural long-chain isoprenoid alcohols, which are fat-soluble antioxidants and natural bioregulators that directly participate in the synthesis of glycoproteins of cell membranes. Their hepatoprotective activity is proven, as well as other types of their pharmacological effects are known, which is the reason of significant interest in these substances as a promising medicinal product. The main sources of polyprenols are coniferous trees (various types of spruce (Picea spp.), fir (Abies spp.), pine (Pinus spp.)), as well as Ginkgo biloba L.). Prepar-ative isolation of polyprenols from plants is carried out by extraction based on the difference in solubility in two or more organic solvents. Aim. Identification and comparative quantitative assessment of polyprenols in substances derived from Ginkgo biloba L. and Picea abies L. according to the author’s method in Savintsev’s laboratory. Material and methods. Identification of polyprenols in substances was carried out using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), mass spectrometry (MS), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The quantitative content of polyprenols was determined using HPLC-MS, a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer was used as a detector. Results. Polyprenols in substances were identified by 1H NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chro-matography. Using HPLC-MS, the quantitative content of C70 – C100 polyprenols in samples of Ginkgo biloba L. and Picea abies L. was found to be 76% and 95% on average, respectively. Conclusions. The predominance of shorter polyprenols in the substance of Picea abies L. compared to the substance of Ginkgo biloba L. can be sug-gested based on the results of comparative characteristics of the chromatographic peaks expression and the results of 1H NMR spectroscopy. The regulatory documentation can be prepared based on the results of this study for subsequent state registration of pharma-ceutical substances and medicines of polyprenols derived from Ginkgo biloba L. and Picea abies L.

Relevance. The leaves of the Plantago major are a pharmacopeic medicinal plant raw materials, quite well studied in relation to the chemical compo-sition and spectrum of medical use, but the list of drugs based on them today is limited. In this regard , it seemed to be relevant to study the possibil-ity of developing a drug in the form of a medicinal pencil containing an extraction complex of Plantago major leaves, enriched with flavonoids. To solve this problem, it was necessary to choose an extragent that selectively extracts the biologically active substances of the Plantago major leaves, with a predominance of flavonoids. The aim of the work was a comparative study of the chemical composition and immunotropic effects of the in vitro heteropoly fractions of the leaves of the Plantago major leaves. Material and methods. The object of research was the leaves of the Plantago major. The content of extractive substances in the raw materials was determined by the pharmacopeic method of single extraction using extractants of various polarity: purified water, 40 %, 70 % and 95 % of ethyl alco-hol. The content of the amount of flavonoids in extracts in terms of cinaroside was carried out by differential spectrophotomeria. Heteropoly fractions were obtained by the method of reperculation in a battery from 3 laboratory percolators with subsequent condensation and drying. The assessment of the phagocytic and microbicidal function of neutrophilic granulocytes carried out in vitro on the samples of peripheral blood of conditionally fast-ash persons. Results. It was revealed that the content of extractive substances was reduced with a decrease in the polarity of the extractant, while the content of the extracted amount of flavonoids increased. Comparative immunological studies included the extracts of Plantago major leaves, obtained with the use of 70 % and 95 % of ethyl alcohol. An analysis of their immunotropic effects showed that the fraction extracted by 70% alcohol, statistically sig-nificantly increased the indicators of the phagocytic number, phagocytic index and the relative number of neutrophilic granulocytes that absorb bacte-ria. In addition, in its presence, the digestive ability of neutrophilic granulocytes and the digestion index relative to indicators of the control group in-creased, the activity of NADPH-oxidase and the number of formsan-positive neutrophil granulocytes increased. Conclusions. A comparative assessment of the effect of heteropoly fractions of Plantago major leaves on the phagocytic and microbicidal functions of neutrophilic granulocytes showed that the most pronounced positive immunotropic effect was demonstrated by the fraction extracted with 70% ethanol.

Overview: This study investigated the quality of water and the associated risk factors leading to contamination in the Kalingalinga Compound of Lusaka District, Zambia. Given the critical role that access to clean water plays in public health, the study focused on identifying the contaminants present in water sources and assessing the underlying factors contributing to their presence. Body of Knowledge: The study explored the crucial aspects of water quality assessment and the identification of contamination sources in a densely populated urban area. It aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the water quality parameters, such as microbial, chemical, and physical contaminants, and their impact on public health. By analyzing the various environmental, infrastructural, and human factors contributing to water contamination, the study sought to identify the primary risk factors, including inadequate sanitation, poor waste management, and the proximity of water sources to pollution points. Methods: This study employed a cross sectional study design in which 90 participants of Kalingalinga compound were selected at random in relation to their drinking water sources. Water samples were collected along with a structured questionnaire which was administered to each participant’s household. Physical, Chemical and Microbial tests were conducted to determine the quality of water and the Total bacterial count (TBC) and total coliform count (TCC) were established. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for contamination in STATA software. Results: The study found that FCC of water samples from 15 sources (17%) were above the maximum legally accepted limits. Levels of coliforms did not conform to Zambian and WHO standards. Females were 13 times more likely to contaminate water than males (AOR: 12.42; 95% CI = 1.64,94.0; P = 0.02) whereas households that did not have adequate drinking water were 9 times more likely to contaminate the water than those who did (AOR = 8.26; 95% CI = 1.23,55.46; P = 0.03). Recommendation: Immediate solutions are required to eliminate contaminations from water sources in the Kalingalinga compound proceeded by awareness on the best hygienic practices to ensure the quality of drinking water, encouraging the use of water filtration systems from the borehole to the house and improvement of sanitation with the help of the DHO, NGO and other stakeholders.

Published: September 2024

Topological Data Analysis (TDA) has proven to be a powerful framework for uncovering hidden structures in high-dimensional data. This study investigates the integration of the Mapper algorithm with DBSCAN clustering to detect anomalies in financial time series data, specifically using daily price data from the Dhaka Stock Exchange. The methodology involves projecting the data into a lower-dimensional space using a filter function, covering this space with overlapping intervals, and applying DBSCAN to identify clusters within each subset. The resulting Mapper graph visualizes the relationships between clusters, with anomalies detected as unclustered points, isolated clusters, or small disconnected nodes. A total of 44 data points were identified as anomalies, which correspond to extreme price movements in the time series data. This combination of TDA and clustering provides a robust framework for anomaly detection, particularly in high-dimensional data where traditional clustering methods often fail to capture the full structure. Validation through SVM confirmed anomalies in the data, but the Mapper-DBSCAN approach demonstrated clearer separation of normal data and anomalies. The results demonstrate the potential of this approach for identifying anomalous behaviors in complex financial data.
Evaluating the effectiveness, costs, and challenges of deposit return systems for beverage containers: A meta-analysis
Authors: Calvin Lakhan
Published: September 2024

This study conducts a comprehensive meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness, economic costs, and long-term sustainability of deposit return systems (DRS) for beverage containers across various countries. DRS are recognized as a critical strategy to enhance recycling rates, reduce environmental waste, and support the transition toward a circular economy. While empirical evidence from countries like Germany, Norway, and Lithuania indicates that DRS can achieve recycling rates exceeding 90%, challenges such as high setup costs, stakeholder resistance, policy inconsistency, and adaptability to market changes complicate their implementation and sustainability. The analysis synthesizes data from diverse geographic contexts, highlighting the factors that contribute to the success or failure of DRS, including public engagement, policy stability, technological adaptation, and effective stakeholder collaboration. The findings suggest that while DRS can provide substantial environmental and economic benefits, their long-term success is contingent upon sustained public participation, consistent policies, adaptability to market shifts, and robust stakeholder engagement. This study offers critical insights for policymakers, environmental advocates, and industry stakeholders seeking to optimize DRS as a tool for sustainable waste management.

Of all the cancer types, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed in women, with 2.3 million new cases and 670,000 cases attributable to this type of cancer in 2022. Girls from puberty onwards may be at the potential risk of breast cancer, especially as the population ages, and the treatment is only successful if the disease is detected early using screening methods. The present study is a secondary analysis using the data from the National Family Health Survey-5 conducted in India from 2019 to 2021 to analyse the trends in breast cancer screening. The findings suggest that the Indian southern zone had the highest estimated screening proportion of 54%. In contrast to this, the Central and Eastern zones had the lowest screening rates, which were 5% and 3%, respectively. Within Tamil Nadu, however, the Central region had the highest screening rate of 33%, with the West region following close with 29% and the North region at 22%. The South region recorded the least screening with an estimated proportion of 16 percent. This study reveals that Tamil Nadu has one of the highest rates of breast cancer screening in India, although there is imbalance at the district level. In addition, breast cancer screening should be given as part of an annual health checkup for all women over 30 years of age in order to enhance early diagnosis and therapy and consequently lower rates of deaths.

Objective: To study the pathogenic bacteria and risk factors of neonatal ventilator-associated pneumonia in order to provide a feasible basis for clinical intervention. Methods: Selection object of study from our hospital in October 2019 to December 2020 neonatal intensive care unit 100 cases treated by mechanical ventilation more than 48 h of children, for all children with the summary of the clinical data, study the incidence of neonatal ventilator associated pneumonia, investigation of neonatal ventilator associated pneumonia pathogen at the same time,And summarize the related risk factors. Results: Among the 100 children with mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours, 20 (20.00%) of them developed ventilator-associated pneumonia.27 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from 20 children. Through analysis and summary, it can be concluded that the pathogens of neonatal ventilator associated pneumonia were mainly Gram-negative bacteria, 19 strains in total, accounting for 70.37%. In addition, there were 7 strains of Gram-positive bacteria, accounting for 25.92%, and 1 strain of fungus, accounting for 3.70%.Klebsiella pneumoniae was the main gram-negative bacteria, with 14 strains, accounting for 51.85%.The risk factors of neonatal ventilator-associated pneumonia were summarized, which were mainly related to delivery mode, length of hospital stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, gestational age, birth weight, number of intubation, 1min Apgar score after birth, and the presence of primary pulmonary diseases. Logistic Regression analysis showed that Intubation more than 2 times was an independent risk factor for neonatal ventilator-associated pneumonia.0.05, the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: The pathogenic bacteria leading to ventilator associated pneumonia in newborn infants are mainly Gram-negative bacteria, and the main manifestation is Klebsiella pneumoniae. The risk factors leading to ventilator associated pneumonia in newborn infants are manifested in multiple aspects, which require clinical measures for comprehensive intervention, which can effectively ensure the safety of newborn infants.

Kepiting bakau (Scylla spp.) adalah salah satu sumber daya perikanan pantai yang mempunyai nilai ekonomis penting. Seiring dengan meningkatnya permintaan pasar kepiting bakau, pengembangan budidaya kepiting bakau banyak dilakukan di berbagai daerah pesisir di Indonesia. Ketersediaan pakan berbasis sumberdaya lokal   merupakan salah satu faktor penting untuk efisiensi usaha budidaya dan keberlanjutan produksi budidaya kepiting bakau di daerah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh pakan berbahan kombinasi buah papaya mentah dan ikan layang dengan rasio berbeda terhadap pertumbuhan anakan kepiting bakau dibudidaya menggunakan metode rakit apung di Perairan Teluk Tuhaha, Desa Tuhaha Kecamatan Saparua Timur. Sebanyak 12 anakan kepiting bakau diberi pakan campuran buah pepaya mentah dan ikan layang sebanyak 10% per berat tubuh kepiting per hari. Pakan A (buah pepaya 5%: ikan layang 5%) dan perlakuan B (ikan layang 7,5%: buah pepaya 2,5%) diberikan kepada masing-masing enam individu kepiting bakau. Pengukuran berat dilakukan setiap minggu selama satu bulan periode penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa anakan kepiting yang diberi pakan B cenderung memiliki laju pertumbuhan berat mutlak dan laju pertumbuhan spesifik lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan anakan kepiting yang diberi pakan A, namun secara statistik tidak berbeda nyata. Temuan ini menjelaskan bahwa komposisi buah pepaya mentah 25%-50% dikombinasikan dengan ikan layang efektif meningkatkan laju pertumbuhan anakan kepiting bakau budidaya.

Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat pergeseran honorifik pada sistem kekerabatan masyarakat Mandar. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif komparatif yang bersifat diakronik. Teknik pengumpulan data pada penelitian ini adalah dokumentasi, wawancara, dan observasi. Informan penelitian ini adalah masyarakat Mandar yang memiliki garis keturunan bangsawan dan masyarakat biasa yang dianggap memiliki pengetahuan, pengalaman, dan kemampuan dalam bidang penelitian yang dimaksud Hasil dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pergeseran honorifik pada sistem kekerabatan masyarakat Mandar yaitu terdiri dari (1) masa lalu kaitannya dengan sistem honorifik pada masyarakat tradisional. (2) masa sekarang yang kaitannya dengan sistem honorifik pada masyarakat modern. Kedua masa tersebut memiliki sistem honorifik yang sedikit berbeda. Perbedaan itu disebabkan adanya perubahan atau dengan kata lain pergeseran. Pada masyarakat tradisional khususnya di daerah Mandar telah dikenal istilah pemerian nama yang dilakukan pada saat bayi lahir seperti Acoq, Asoq, Caco, Kacoq , Icciq, Cicciq dan Issiq. Sementara pada masa modern, sistem kekerabatan masyarakat Mandar tidak lagi menggunakan sistem penamaan diri seperti Acoq, Icciq, Kacoq, dan Cicciq. Hal ini dapat dilihat pada keadaan kekinian dimana masyarakat sudah mulai meninggalkan sistem tersebut.
Peyami Safa’nın Eğitim Mefkuresi ve Edebiyat Eğitimi Üzerine Düşünceleri Üzerine Bir İnceleme

İnsana ve topluma dair bütün meseleler çeşitli yönleriyle yazarların gündeminde olmuştur. Bu bakımdan edebî eserler birçok bakımdan farklı okumalara tâbi tutulabilir. Edebiyat topluma tutulan bir ayna işlevi üstlendiği gibi topluma istikamet verme gücüne de sahiptir. Kurmaca metinlerde arka planda dönemin sosyal gerçekleri yansıtılırken yazar kendi fikirlerini okuyucuyla açık ya da örtük şekilde paylaşır. Bu yönüyle edebî eserler fikri bir müktesabatı da taşırlar. Peyami Safa (1889-1961), Türk edebiyatının önemli simalarından birisidir. Romancı ve gazeteci kimliğiyle tanınan Peyami Safa, modern Türk eğitim tarihinin serencamına şahitlik etmiştir. Eğitime ilişkin olarak millî ve manevi duyarlılıkları önceleyen Peyami Safa özellikle Yalnızız romanında Simeranya ütopyası üzerinden eğitim idealini kahramanı Samim’in dilinden beyan eder. Peyami Safa, gazete yazılarında ise müstakil olarak eğitime ilişkin görüşlerini daha açık ve doğrudan dile getirir. Modern eğitim süreçlerine dönük eleştirilerinin yanında eğitimin niteliğine dönük görüşler serdeden Safa, edebiyatın eğitimdeki rolü ve edebiyat eğitiminde gözetilmesi gereken hususlara değinir. Çalışmada; tematik analiz yöntemiyle Safa’nın eğitimde şahsîlik, öğretmen yeterliliği, eğitim ve hayat ilişkisi, eğitimde özgür düşünce ve eleştirel bakış, eğitim ve toplumsal değişim gibi konularda -dikkat çektiği hususlar belirginleştirilecektir. Bu çalışma ayrıca Peyami Safa’nın genel olarak eğitim meselesine yaklaşımlarını eserlerinden örneklerle ortaya koymayı daha özelde onun bir yazar olarak edebiyat eğitimine ilişkin görüşlerini paranteze almayı hedeflemektedir.
»Doch hatte mir der Alkohol die ganze Welt verwandelt«

Published: September 2024

Wenngleich stoffgebundene Abhängigkeitserkrankungen, insbesondere die Alkoholabhängigkeit, eine der höchsten Prävalenzen psychischer Erkrankungen aufweisen, stellen Kasuistiken süchtiger Patient:innen und theoretische Reflexionen zur Sucht eine Seltenheit in psychoanalytischen Publikationen dar. Um diese Leerstelle anzureichern, soll der Protagonist Erwin Sommer aus Hans Falladas Roman Der Trinker (1950) mithilfe der Figurenanalyse betrachtet werden. Dabei wird ein Fokus auf die Objektbeziehung sowie das Vorherrschen destruktiver Kräfte gelegt. Nebst den Überlegungen zum Erkrankungsverlauf und zur Störung an sich, soll zugleich das Potential der Figurenanalyse, im Sinne einer medizinbzw. psychologiedidaktischen Illustration klinischer Störungsbilder verdeutlicht werden.
