Comparative Study of Essential Religious Practices under Secularism in India, France, and the USA
Authors: - Kratika Sharma , - Anika Pande
Published: October 2024

This paper compares and contrasts the idea of fundamental religious practices under secularism in France, India, and the US, examining how each nation strikes a balance between religious liberty and official impartiality. A positive secularism approach exists in India, where the state interacts with religion to guarantee equality while courts decide what "essential religious practices" are worthy of constitutional protection. France adheres to a more rigorous form of secularism called laïcité, which emphasizes a clear separation between religion and state, frequently limiting religious expression in the sake of maintaining governmental neutrality, particularly with regard to Islam. Under the First Amendment, the United States employs a separationist approach that guarantees both the free exercise of religion and its non-establishment. However, there are obstacles in balancing religious liberty with public policy and anti-discrimination laws. The study comes to the conclusion that although all three nations strive to maintain secularism, there are differences in how different historical, cultural, and legal settings are interpreted, making it difficult to accommodate religious practices.

Authors: - Shiv Raj Mishra
Published: October 2024

Mahesh Dattani, a thought-provoking playwright, has won the reputation of a man of letters, who is always ready to deal with the 'burning issues' of contemporary life and within the skeleton of society. Present age is the age of show off market economy in which caption holds the cap. But the plays of Mahesh Dattani open the door to enter, peep, study and provide the opportunity to amend your concepts about the issue. All the plays of Mahesh Dattani handle social issues not in general but the deep-rooted prejudices that should be amended. Same happens in the play, Dance Like A Man (1989) where he has represented an amendment of the image of masculinity and raised a definition of gender equality. He has unveiled the issues which society has been represented with decoration and tried to hide the wounds. The term ' Masculinity' refers to the social expectations of being a man. It is a socio-cultural concept. It attributes some roles, behaviour, characteristics which are assigned by cultural and political policies of a society to a body. It is not a biological concept. Mahesh Dattani, through the character of Jairaj, has amended the masculine image of man and the selection of profession by a man in the play.

Published: October 2024

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with occupational exposure to respiratory hazards and smoking being significant risk factors for its development and progression. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between occupational exposure and COPD severity among patients admitted to the new medical ward of a public hospital. The research employed a cross-sectional design and involved a sample of 160 COPD patients. Data collection included patient records, face-to-face interviews, and structured questionnaires that gathered demographic information, smoking history, occupational exposure, and disease severity. Quantitative analysis methods were used, with statistical tools such as chi-square tests and correlation analysis applied to assess the relationships between variables. The chi-square test demonstrated a significant association between occupational exposure and COPD severity (χ² = 45.07, df = 8, p = 0.05). Correlation analysis revealed positive relationships between COPD severity and age (r = 0.40), smoking status (r = 0.53), and duration of occupational exposure (r = 0.69). The findings emphasize the critical role of occupational risks and smoking in exacerbating COPD and suggest the need for preventive workplace interventions and stricter regulations to reduce respiratory hazards.

Exploring Aspartate Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase as a Prospective Drug Target for Fungal Pathogens: An Extensive Molecular Modeling Studies
Authors: - Lakshminarayanan Karthik , - Swathi Nataraj , - Shristi Saini , - Oruganti Amsu Madhu Deepika
Published: October 2024

Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum) and Blastomyces dermatitidis (B. dermatitidis) are two fungal species that pose significant threats to human health. T. rubrum is a dermatophyte fungus that causes athlete’s foot, fungal nail infections, and jock itch, and the ringworm B. dermatitidis is a dimorphic fungus that causes blastomycosis. Aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (ASADH) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reductive dephosphorylation of β-aspartyl phosphate to L-aspartate-β-semialdehyde in the aspartate biosynthetic pathway of plants and microorganisms. The inhibition of ASADH has resulted in a substantial reduction in the populations of several pathogenic microbial organisms. An extensive literature review revealed that ASADH could be considered a promising drug target for identifying and developing compounds with potent antifungal activity. Therefore, in the present study, a comprehensive in silico screening of compound libraries was initially carried out to identify possible ASADH inhibitors. The chosen drug targets (ASADH from T. rubrum and B. dermatitidis) were subsequently subjected to molecular docking with those chemical libraries via PyRx. The results revealed that in each library, a subset of potential small molecules exhibited higher binding affinities for T. rubrum and B. dermatitidis’s ASADH. In addition, analysis of their physicochemical and ADMET properties confirmed that several of the higher-ranked compounds exhibited drug-likeness properties. Taken together, our findings show that the compounds identified in the present study open new avenues for drug development, and further in vitro and in vivo validation studies are needed to assess their efficacy and safety profiles for the development of novel antifungal treatments.

Authors: - Supriya S Thakur , - Aruna Vinchurkar
Published: October 2024

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the role of Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) and Perfusion-Weighted Imaging (PWI) in the detection, characterization, and grading of brain tumors, focusing on their correlation with histopathological findings.
Materials and Methods: A total of 40 patients with intracranial mass lesions underwent DWI, PWI, and conventional MRI using a 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner. Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) values were calculated for tumor core, peritumoral edema, and normal brain tissue. Cerebral Blood Volume (CBV), Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF), and Mean Transit Time (MTT) were analyzed using PWI. Data were statistically analyzed, with a p-value ≤ 0.05 considered significant.
Results: The study included 38 neoplastic lesions and 2 tuberculomas. DWI showed distinct ADC values for different tumors, with meningiomas having a mean ADC of 0.84 ± 0.3 × 10⁻³ mm²/s and schwannomas a higher ADC of 2.14 × 10⁻³ mm²/s. PWI revealed elevated relative CBV in high-grade gliomas (mean: 2.1 ± 0.76), while lower rCBV was observed in metastases (mean: 0.5 ± 0.26). Tuberculomas exhibited intermediate perfusion characteristics.
Conclusion: DWI and PWI, in conjunction with conventional MRI, enhance the diagnostic accuracy for brain tumors by providing valuable information on tumor cellularity and vascularity. These techniques aid in distinguishing between tumor types, grades, and associated edema, thus improving clinical decision-making and treatment planning.
From Movement to Meaning: Real-time Detection of Behavioural Patterns in Human Psychology using Deep Learning and Time Series Sequence
Authors: - Sonia Sharma , - Nishant Kumar Vidhu , - Abhinav Aryan
Published: October 2024

Understanding human behaviour and psychology is complex and involves various fields, including cognitive science, neurology, and artificial intelligence (AI). In this study, we introduce a cutting-edge system that detects both manual (like hand gestures) and non-manual (such as facial expressions or body movements) features in real time, using advanced deep learning techniques and time-series analysis. This system translates these human movements into text, providing a powerful tool to analyse subtle behavioural and psychological signals.
By processing real-time data, our system significantly advances psychology by detecting small expressions, involuntary gestures, and behaviour patterns often associated with psychological and neurological conditions. For instance, it can help identify repetitive actions or atypical gestures in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which are critical for early diagnosis. It can also track signs of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, detecting tremors, posture changes, or facial expressions, and offer insights for early intervention
Systematic Review: Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Losartan vs. Candesartan for the Treatment of Hypertension
Authors: - Dhruvil. A. Kheni , - Sinchana S Kadur , - Amal Mathew Jose , - Harsh bansal
Published: October 2024

Hypertension is one of the most significant modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Effective management of hypertension is essential for preventing comp lications such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) like losartan and candesartan are well-established therapeutic options for blood pressure (BP) control and are widely prescribed due to their favorable side-effect profiles and organ-protective properties. Despite being members of the same drug class, these ARBs differ in their pharmacokinetics, receptor binding affinity, and clinical efficacy.
This systematic review aims to provide a detailed comparison of the efficacy and safety of losartan versus candesartan in managing hypertension. We conducted a comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases, retrieving studies published from 2000 to 2024 that compared the two ARBs directly in hypertensive populations. A total of 25 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies, comprising more than 12,000 participants, were included in the analysis. The primary outcomes evaluated were the reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, cardiovascular event prevention, and adverse event profiles.
The results suggest that both losartan and candesartan effectively lower BP, but candesartan consistently demonstrated greater reductions in both systolic and diastolic BP compared to losartan. Candesartan also appeared to have superior cardiovascular outcomes, with a lower incidence of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart failure hospitalizations. The safety profiles of both drugs were comparable, though losartan was associated with a slightly higher incidence of cough and discontinuation due to adverse events. Overall, candesartan may offer a slight clinical advantage over losartan, particularly in patients requiring more potent or sustained BP control. However, both drugs remain valuable options in the management of hypertension. Further long-term studies are recommended to confirm these findings and to investigate the potential benefits of each drug in specific patient subgroups.

Published: October 2024

Anchovies have many vitamins and minerals that provide significant health benefits. They are best known as a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which promote brain and heart health. On the other hand, ice cream is a highly popular, palatable, nutritious, and commercially important dairy product, usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, and often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavors. The researcher took advantage of the abundance of anchovies in the supply. Known for its health benefits, the researcher incorporated anchovies in ice cream to create a highly nutritious product without compromising palatability. The study is limited to determining the acceptability of anchovies ice cream in terms of color, odor, taste, and mouthfeel. The pH of the product was also determined. There were four treatments: A (25% anchovies w/w), B (50% anchovies w/w), C (75% anchovies w/w) and D (100% anchovies w/w). Based on the data gathered, there was no significant difference in the acceptability of the four treatments of anchovies ice cream in terms of its acceptability level in all sensory parameters and its general acceptability. Overall, all treatments had a mean score of “like slightly” in their acceptability score. Regarding pH, it was noted that the more anchovies added, the more acidic the product becomes. Although there was no significant difference, the researchers labeled treatment B as the most acceptable since, in almost all parameters, treatment B has the highest acceptability score. The study showed that anchovies were acceptable raw dessert materials, and varying amounts did not affect the acceptability.

Published: October 2024

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Indonesia is the country with the second largest number of TB cases in the world. Tuberculosis in children cases in Indonesia reached 110,881 and West Sumatra is in sixth place with 2,751 cases. Tuberculosis in children cases are often ignored for various reasons such as lack of parental knowledge about preventing TB in children. Health education through audio-visual media and booklets is one of the efforts made to provide health information about preventing TB in children. The purpose of this study was to see changes in parental knowledge before and after intervention with video and booklet media and to compare the effectiveness of each media. This study used the "Pretest-Posttest Two Group Design" design which was conducted in the Pegambiran Health Center Work Area. The sample consisted of 54 people consisting of 2 groups, namely 27 people in the audio-visual media group and 27 people in the booklet media group. Sampling used the Simple Random Sampling technique. Univariate analysis showed frequency distribution and bivariate analysis used the Wilcoxon rank test and the Mann Whitney test. The results of the study with the Wilcoxon test obtained knowledge before and after audio-visual intervention with a p-value of 0.000 <0.05 and booklet media showed a p-value of 0.000 <0.05. The results of the Mann Whitney test with a p-value of 0.284> 0.05. It can be concluded that there is no difference in the effectiveness of using audio-visual media compared to booklet media in increasing parental knowledge about preventing childhood tuberculosis. It is hoped that the Health Center and related agencies will use audio-visual media and booklets in providing health education about preventing TB in children.

Penicillium species are ubiquitous worldwide and constitute one of the largest fungal genera. Typically benign, Penicillium (P.) non-marneffei species can become a serious threat in immunocompromised hosts with the potential for high mortality. We present a rare care of disseminated P. non-marneffei infection in a Honduran patient with advanced HIV, initially manifesting as nonspecific symptoms. After a thorough and unrevealing workup, an inguinal lymph node biopsy resulted in positive fungal staining of tissue. However, expanded polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of fungal 28S rDNA was necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Here we describe the first reported case of disseminated infection in a patient with HIV/AIDS presenting with lymphadenitis and propose treatment recommendations as no standards have been developed yet.

Монография «Искусство, хранящее код памяти и символы» посвящена одной из интереснейших проблем в науке – символам и коду памяти, которые находят свое отражение в искусстве. Искусство само по себе многогранно. Оно служит своего рода мессенджером для поколений, передавая от предков потомкам историю, традиции, фольклор, обычаи, верования, культы, а значит, хранит код памяти и соответствующие символы. В книге исследуется значения символов, анализируются концепции и трактовки символов в искусствоведении, эстетической, культурологической мысли, обозначена динамика значений символов, расширяющая их интерпретацию, раскрывается междисциплинарная связь между искусствоведением, эстетикой, культурологией.

The monograph “Art that keeps the code of memory and symbols” examines one of the most interesting problems in science - symbols and memory code, which are reflected in art. Art itself is multifaceted. It serves as a kind of messenger for generations, transmitting history, traditions, folklore, customs, beliefs, cults from ancestors to descendants, and thus, it keeps the memory code and the corresponding symbols. The book explores the meaning of symbols, analyzes the concepts and interpretations of symbols in art history, aesthetic, cultural thought, outlines the dynamics of symbol meanings, expanding their interpretation, and reveals the interdisciplinary connection between art history, aesthetics, and cultural studies.
