Published: December 2024

As a country significantly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, Turkey made an ambitious climate change commitment by ratifying the Paris Agreement in October 2021 and set a target of net zero emissions by 2053. Both climate change and the targets set by our country in this context make the issue important in terms of sectors and entrepreneurship. In this study, the effect of climate change on entrepreneurial intention was examined. The study aims to analyze the perceptions of active and potential entrepreneurs about climate change concerns and reveal the effects of the said concern on entrepreneurial intention.
The study surveyed active and potential entrepreneurs of different ages, genders, and sector groups to measure the participants' attitudes toward climate change concerns and entrepreneurial intentions. The scale was applied online to a total of 103 entrepreneurs, 56 of whom were female (54%) and 47 of whom were male (46%), with potential and existing enterprises in Izmir province. During the study, the participants administered a 10-question "climate change concern scale" consisting of anxiety and helplessness dimensions and a 6-question "entrepreneurial intention scale" consisting of a single dimension. The study revealed that the data were normally distributed, and the internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha) coefficient was more significant than 0.70 in reliability tests. The study's main finding is that climate change concern affects female participants more than males.

Published: December 2024

This study investigated the toxicological effects of Aristolochia albida extracts using antioxidant defence assays and the Drosophila Somatic Mutation and Recombination Test (SMART) assay. For acute toxicity, adult Drosophila melanogaster was exposed to A. albida extracts at concentrations of 25, 50, 100, and 200 µg/mL, with mortality recorded over 7 days. In the 28 day treatment, flies were fed extracts at 12.5, 25, and 50 µg/mL, and antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione) were measured. For the SMART assay, Drosophila larvae were exposed to A. albida extracts at concentrations of 12.5, 25, and 50 µg/mL. The adult flies were analysed to evaluate genotoxicity through the wing spot formation. The LC50 was determined to be 128.5 µg/mL. Antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione) significantly increased, indicating an oxidative stress response. The SMART assay revealed genotoxic effects with a higher frequency of wing spots in treated groups compared to controls. These results suggest that A. albida exposure exerts toxic effects on Drosophila flies by inducing oxidative stress and mutations.

Melatonin in Female Fertility: Multifaceted Role From Reproductive Physiology to Therapeutic Potential in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Endometriosis, and Ovarian Failure
Authors: Parua Suparna , Choudhury Gargi Roy , Bhattacharya Soumita , Hazra Anukona , Dutta Sulagna , Sengupta Pallav , Bhattacharya Koushik
Published: December 2024

Melatonin, synthesized by the pineal gland, plays a pivotal role in female reproductive physiology. In addition to its established function in regulating circadian rhythms, melatonin influences critical reproductive processes, such as ovulation, menstrual cycle regulation, and fertility. Recent studies underscore melatonin’s regulatory effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, influencing the secretion of gonadotropins, including follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. Furthermore, melatonin has been implicated in the pathophysiology of reproductive disorders, such as polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis, where its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may enhance ovarian function and fertility. Melatonin also plays a protective role against oxidative stress in granulosa cells, thereby improving oocyte quality and increasing the potential for successful fertilization. These effects position melatonin as a promising therapeutic agent in assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization. Studies demonstrate that melatonin supplementation mitigates the harmful effects of reactive oxygen species on ovarian cells, enhancing embryo development and improving pregnancy outcomes. By counteracting oxidative stress and apoptosis in reproductive tissues, melatonin emerges as a crucial factor in promoting reproductive health.

Published: December 2024

Objective: This study aimed to identify and delineate the antagonistic effects of phytochemicals present in Rauwolfia serpentina (Indian snakehead) on the serotonin 2A receptor (5HT2AR) for insomnia treatment. Methods: Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were performed to analyze the binding affinity and stability of protein–ligand complexes. The dynamic behavior of the complexes was studied via normal mode analysis performed via the iMODS server. The blood–brain barrier permeability of the phytochemicals was hence analyzed via the Brain or IntestinaL EstimateD permeation method (BOILED-Egg). The bioactivity of phytochemicals as “g-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) ligands” was analyzed via the MolInspiration server. Lipinski’s rule of five was used as a benchmark to assess the drug likeness of the phytochemicals. The SWISS ADME server was used to analyze the physiochemical properties of the selected phytocompounds. Furthermore, the preclinical efficacy and safety of the compounds were assessed via absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADME/T) analysis performed via the Deep-PK and ProTox 3.0 servers. Results: Cumulative results from various computational parameters yielded isorauhimbine and vinburnine as hit compounds because they are 5HT2AR antagonists. These phytochemicals exhibited promising docking scores, and their root mean square deviation, radius of gyration, and solvent accessible surface area confirmed their stability with the target protein. The ADME/T profile and drug-likeness values of these two compounds validated their safety, efficacy, and potential as drug candidates. Conclusion: We conclude that isorauhimbine and vinburnine stand out as potential phytochemicals from R. serpentina that could potentially serve as potential antagonistic drug candidates against 5HT2AR for insomnia treatment. However, these findings need to be validated through wet lab experiments to fully elucidate their therapeutic potential against insomnia.

Objective: Good sleep in adolescents may influence brain development and psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. Although social jetlag has been associated with sleep quality in adolescents, the association between other behavioral and personality factors and sleep quality in adolescents has not been elucidated. Methods: Sleep-related behaviors, such as time in bed (TIB) on weekdays and weekends, social jetlag, and daytime sunlight exposure, were evaluated using various measurement tools such as sleep-related questionnaires, including defense style and morningness–eveningness questionnaires, insomnia severity index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and hospital anxiety and depression scale. This study involved 1,610 high school students. Results: Multiple linear regression analysis revealed an association of better sleep quality with lesser social jetlag (β=0.085, t=3.217, p=0.001) and longer weekday TIB (β=-0.072, t=-2.634, p=0.009) after adjusting for age, sex, anxiety, depression, daytime sleepiness, weekday total sleep time, weekend oversleep, and mean daily sunlight exposure time. Furthermore, better sleep quality in adolescents was associated with lesser self-suppressive defense style (β=0.097, t=4.094, p<0.001) after adjusting for age, sex, anxiety, depression, chronotype, and daytime sleepiness. Conclusion: Good sleep quality in adolescents may be related to behavioral factors, such as lower social jetlag and longer weekday TIB, and psychological factors, such as a less self-suppressive defense style.

Published: December 2024

Tuberkulosis merupakan penyakit di Indonesia yang mendapat perhatian khusus dari kementerian kesehatan. Tuberkulosis merupakan penyakit infeksi menular yang mematikan, hal ini disebabkan karena Mycobacterium Tuberculosis telah menginfeksi penduduk dunia. Penularan tuberkulosis dapat melalui percikan dahak (droplet) pada saat batuk atau bersin dan dapat menginfeksi orang lain yang sehat. Penderita tuberkulosis mendapat pengobatan rutin dengan Obat Anti Tuberkulosis. Dalam prosesnya, obat ini memberikan pengaruh terhadap jumlah leukosit yang sebelumnya meningkat jumlahnya karena terjadi infeksi dan adanya antibodi yang mengikat membran sel leukosit sehingga menimbulkan lisis pada sel leukosit. Pemeriksaan jumlah leukosit bermanfaat sebagai penegakan diagnosa karena dapat menggambarkan kejadian dan proses penyakit dalam tubuh pasien tuberkulosis. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu mendeskripsikan karakteristik pasien tuberkulosis berdasarkan jenis kelamin dan usia, mendeskripsikan jenis leukosit pasien yang mendapatkan pengobatan obat anti tuberculosis selama periode Mei-Juli 2024 di wilayah Kota Bengkulu. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan desain penelitian dengan metode deskriptif cross sectional untuk melihat karakteristik leukosit selama penderita tuberkulosis menerima pengobatan dengan obat anti tuberculosis. Sampel yang digunakan adalah penderita tuberkulosis yang sedang menerima pengobatan obat anti tuberculosis di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Nusa Indah Kota Bengkulu. Penderita akan diambil sampel darahnya untuk dianalisis leukositnya tanpa melihat identitas jangka waktu pengobatan. Hasil jumlah hitung basofil, eosinofil, netrofil batang dan monosit menunjukkan dalam kedaaan nilai normal, sedangkan hasil jumlah hitung netrofil segmen, limposit, leukosit ditemukan beberapa pasien dalam nilai tidak normal. Hal ini dimungkinkan karena obat anti tuberculosis yang dikonsumsi dapat menurunkan jumlah leukosit yang meningkat pada saat adanya infeksi dan dalam beberapa pasien yang tidak normal dikarenakan masih tahap permulaan pengobatan.

Published: December 2024

Islamic microfinance serves as a crucial tool for empowering marginalized and underserved populations by providing financial access for entrepreneurial activities, thereby contributing to poverty alleviation. Despite its recognized potential, the accessibility of Islamic microfinance remains limited due to funding constraints, prompting innovative approaches such as the use of zakat funds. Among the earliest institutions in Malaysia to implement zakat-based microfinance, the Melaka Islamic Religious Council (MAIM) adopted the qard al-hasan (interest-free loan) model to support small-scale entrepreneurs from the asnaf community. While this initiative showcased significant potential for enhancing financial inclusion and socio-economic development, its sustainability faced considerable challenges. This study utilizes qualitative methods, including semi-structured interviews and content analysis to examine MAIM's experience in implementing zakat-based microfinance. The findings identify critical barriers, such as community misconceptions, managerial shortcomings, and resource limitations, which contributed to the zakat-based microfinance program's discontinuation. By addressing these challenges, the study offers practical recommendations to strengthen the sustainability and impact of zakat-based microfinance initiatives. This research provides valuable insights into the integration of Islamic social finance principles within microfinance frameworks to achieve sustainable poverty alleviation and socio-economic development.

Stajski gnoj predstavlja vrijedan sekundarni animalni proizvod s brojnim primjenama u poljoprivrednim i nepoljoprivrednim granama. Ovisno o sustavu držanja životinja, sprema se u obliku krutog stajskog gnoja, gnojovke i gnojnice uz dušik, fosfor i kalij kao glavne hranjive tvari. U radu su opisane mogućnosti praktične primjene i korištenja stajskog gnoja. Glavna primjena stajskog gnoja je za gnojidbu poljoprivrednih površina. Stajski se gnoj, u određenim dijelovima svijeta, koristi u proizvodnji bioplina, papira, kao krmivo, građevinski materijal i kao kruto gorivo. Većina navedenih mogućnosti primjene stajskog gnoja još nije dovoljno istražena niti komercijalizirana u svijetu. Iako evidentan pad broja stoke u Hrvatskoj i EU dovodi do smanjenja količine stajskog gnoja, sve veća zabrinutost oko klimatskih promjena mijenja percepciju gnoja, koji se sve više smatra održivim i ekološkim materijalom.

Arhajski i početni faroški proizvodni tip Korint B amfore s gradinskog lokaliteta Sveti Petar u Makarskoj
Authors: Tomasović Marinko
Published: December 2024

Rad obrađuje nalaze oboda Korint B amfora na prapovijesnoj i kasnoantičkoj utvrdi Sv. Petar u Makarskoj. Još uvijek je riječ o iznimno rijetkim nalazima arhajskog tipa Korint B amfore (zapadno-grčka amfora tipa 1α) na istočnom Jadranu, datiranim u 6. − 5. st. pr. Kr. prema analogijama u padskoj nizini. Razmatra se i primjerak iste vrste amfore grublje izrade u okviru prethodno iznijete pretpostavke o ovome tipu kao prvoj inačici Korint B amfora koje su se proizvodile u radionicama istočnog Jadrana, najizglednije u Farosu početkom 4. st. pr. Kr. Nalaz takve amfore na srednjodalmatinskoj gradini Sv. Petar upozorava i na važnost pomorske trgovine između otoka Hvara, nasuprotnog kopna i južnijeg priobalja, zbog sličnih primjeraka s otoka Korčule i iz Konavala. S druge strane, ranije Korint B amfore, kao i izniman nalaz kasnogeometrijske keramike s tla Atike, otvaraju niz pitanja o svim mogućim okolnostima njihovog prispjeća na ključni obalni srednjodalmatinski gradinski položaj Sv.

Mjesto Lumbarda na otoku Korčuli najpoznatije je arheološkim nalazom tzv. „Lumbarajske psefizme”, otkrivenom u cisterni na poluotoku Koludrtu. Iako ovaj važan nalaz često privlači pažnju, postoje i drugi značajni arheološki nalazi antičkog doba koji doprinose razumijevanju naseljavanja na ovom dijelu otoka Korčule. Šire područje oko današnjeg lumbarajskog groblja nosi naziv Sutivan, koji je izvedenica od Sveti Ivan.

Peritoneal inclusion cysts are reactive, fluid filled lesions of the peritoneal lining, mostly affecting women of reproductive age. It commonly occurs with history of previous abdominal surgeries. Paraovarian cysts, hydrosalpinx, cystic mesothelioma, giant intra-abdominal cysts with uncertain origin are usually considered in the differential but ‘may mimic ascites’ when it becomes hugely enlarged. In this case report, we present a 23 -year-old female with no known co-morbidities presented to us with progressive abdominal distention. During excluding causes of abdominal distention, peritoneal cyst was suggested on computed tomography and laparoscopic excision was done. Peritoneal inclusion cyst is a rare entity and quite difficult to diagnose and choose appropriate treatment for individual patient.

Published: December 2024

Background: The study aimed to detect toxigenic fungi and aflatoxin residues (B1, B2, G1, G2) in cereals and cereal products samples such as oats, rice, corn, corn flakes, wheat flour, and rice flour from local markets near Dhaka University, Bangladesh, due to the serious health risks posed by aflatoxins, produced by fungi Aspergillus flavus.
Methods: A total of 130 samples were collected and the pooled 26 samples were analyzed. Associated fungi were isolated and cultured on a PDA medium and identified morphologically based on colony color, texture, diameter, and microscopic observation. Molecular identification was done by sequence analysis of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region, confirming the presence of Aspergillus flavus. Aflatoxin residues were detected using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with a fluorescence detector and the QuEChERS extraction method.
Results: Out of 26 analyzed samples, 73.03% tested positive for aflatoxin residues (B1, B2, G1, G2), with an average concentration of 2.17 µg/kg. Two samples (wheat flour sample 3 and corn flakes sample 2) exceeded the Maximum Residue Limits (MRL) for aflatoxin B1 (2 µg/kg) and total aflatoxins (4 µg/kg) set by Commission Regulation (EC), representing 10.52% of the samples. Aspergillus spp., the primary producer of aflatoxins, was identified in 92.31% of the samples, alongside nine fungal genera and 19 fungal species.
Conclusion: The study emphasizes the health risks of aflatoxin residues in foods like corn flakes and oats in Bangladesh, which may probably associated with serious conditions like cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, urging prompt action for food safety.

Background: Fish is one of the most widely consumed foods worldwide and It has been the third most-consumed food item in Bangladesh.
Objective: This study thoroughly analyzed the fatty acid content and nutritional quality of lipids extracted from five widely consumed fish species in Dhaka city, since fish fatty acid profile is an essential indicator of fish lipid quality.
Methodology: Five commonly consumed fishes, which were analyzed in the current study, were Labeo bata, Wallago attu, Chanda nama, Labeo calbasu, and Channa striata. The crude lipid content was assessed using Folch method and fatty acid profiles were assessed by Gas chromatography method. The fatty acid profile data were then used to calculate various nutritional indices to assess the overall quality of the fish lipids.
Results: Four of the fishes named L. bata, W. attu, C. nama, and C. striata, were classified as lean or low-fat fish based on their extracted fat percentages falling below 4%. In contrast, L. calbasu stood out as a medium-fat fish with a fat content of 4.01 ± 0.26%. A total of 32 distinct fatty acids were obtained in the study. The analysis of the fatty acid profiles revealed a substantial amount of saturated fatty acids, making up around 40% of the total fatty acids. Palmitic acid was identified as the most predominant saturated fatty acid. Monounsaturated fatty acids constituted 25-40% of the total fatty acids, with oleic acid recognized as the predominant monounsaturated fatty acid. The fish samples were found to have substantial amounts of nutritionally advantageous polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), with omega-3 fatty acids comprising up to 18%. The ratio of ω-3 to ω-6 ranged from 0.4 to 2.0 across the different fish species. Higher values for desirable fatty acids are preferable, and the fish had a 52-70% desirable fatty acids range. Conversely, lower values for hypercholesterolemic fatty acids are preferred, and the fish had a range of 24.6-30.9%. The Atherogenecity index (AI) and Thrombogenecity index (TI) of the samples ranged from 0.44-0.88 and 0.43-0.61, respectively. The comprehensive analysis of fatty acids and assessment of lipid quality provide valuable information regarding the nutritional importance of consuming these locally available fish species as part of a healthy diet in Bangladesh.
Conclusion: In summary, the assessment of the indices indicates that the lipids found in L. calbasu have a comparatively more advantageous nutritional composition when compared to other species that were studied. Nevertheless, all fish species offer a harmonious combination of beneficial fatty acids and specific less favorable components regarding their overall fatty acid composition.

Published: December 2024

This study investigates the potential use of rejected heat by outdoor A/C units. Rather from being lost to the environment, the heat will be utilized to make warm water. An experimental setup was designed and constructed that cooled down the refrigerant heat of a condenser by tap water. R22 and tap water were used as hot and cold fluid, respectively. The inlet and outlet temperature of the shell side fluid i.e., water was measured by thermocouple. The mass flow rate of the inlet water was controlled by a valve and measured using a rotameter. The influence of inlet water temperature was also investigated in this study. It is found that recovered thermal energy decreased from 3.72 kW to 2.84 kW as mass flow rate of water decreased from 0.1 kg/s to 0.07 kg/s. When water flow rate decreased to 0.05 kg/s, thermal energy of 4.28 kW was recovered due to the rapid increase of water outlet temperature. Furthermore, this heat exchanger is utilized to determine the heat released by the condenser and the temperature of the condenser-generated hot water.

Authors: Shamsuzzoha M , Khan M A
Published: December 2024

The concern about industrial pollution and food safety is growing due to crop contamination and a major route to human exposure. The experiment was completed at a net house of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University during November 2021 to April 2022 to find out the effect of industrial soil pollution and fertilizer management on growth, yield and metal accumulation by BARI Tomato 8. Industrially polluted soils were collected from contaminated areas considering the soil pollution intensity. The physico-chemical properties were determined in soils. The experiment consists of two-factor, as Factor A: Six different soils (S0: Non-polluted soil; S1: Polluted soil-1, S2: Polluted soil-2; S3: Polluted soil-3, S4: Polluted soil-4 and S5: Polluted soil-5) and Factor B: Three fertilizer treatments (T0: Control; T1: 100% soil test basis dose of fertilizer; T2: 50% soil test basis dose of fertilizer and 50% nutrient from cowdung). High yielding tomato variety BARI Tomato 8 was used for experiment. Among the soils, the highest tomato yield was found in S1 and S5 polluted soils, while the lowest was obtained in S4 and S0 soils. The highest tomato yield was recorded in T2 treatment and the lowest in T0 treatment. The highest tomato fruit dry matter, Pb (1.359 mg kg-1) and Cd (0.759 mg kg-1) concentrations were found in T0 treatment and the lower levels were obtained in T1 (100% RDCF) and T2 (100% RDCF + 50% nutrient from cowdung) treatments. The higher tomato Pb and Cd concentrations were recorded in polluted soils with T0 and T1 treatments and the lower with T2. The highest tomato Pb concentration (1.656 mg kg-1) was obtained in S4T1 and the lowest (0.501 mg kg-1) in S3T2. The highest tomato Cd concentration (1.149 mg kg-1) was obtained in S5T0 and the lowest (0.097 mg kg-1) in S2T2 treatment combinations.
