Authors: Yang Jie , Yan Lu , Dong Mengmeng , Zhang Jing
Published: December 2024

Objective: To analyze the effect of using a comprehensive nursing intervention model for patients with diabetes mellitus and urinary tract infections. Methods: 60 patients with diabetes mellitus combined with urinary tract infection who were admitted to the hospital from November 2021 to November 2023 were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, and were treated with conventional nursing interventions and comprehensive nursing interventions respectively. The nursing status of the two groups was compared and analyzed. Results: After the intervention, the observation group showed lower levels of fasting blood glucose and other indicators, and lower anxiety and depression scores, P < 0.05. After the intervention, the observation group’s blood creatinine and other biochemical indicators improved significantly, P < 0.05. Conclusion: For the treatment of patients with both diabetes mellitus and urinary tract infections, nursing staff should pay attention to the development of nursing interventions to enhance the level of patients’ glucose control, improve the patients’ bad moods, and improve patients’ therapeutic efficacy.

A Praça dos Mártires, parque urbano mais antigo de Fortaleza, é densamente arborizada e abriga a segunda maior quantidade de árvores protegidas por lei na cidade. Esta pesquisa objetivou estudar sua arborização e realizou um levantamento detalhado das árvores presentes nesse parque histórico. A composição encontrada foi de 212 indivíduos vegetais, entre árvores, arbustos e palmeiras, divididos entre 49 espécies e 16 famílias. Os indivíduos foram submetidos a uma avaliação fitossanitária que resultou em uma escala de grau de dano: grau 1 (excelente) – representada por 4,25% dos indivíduos; grau 2 (bom) – 42,92%; grau 3 (regular) – 26,42%; grau 4 (ruim) – 16,51%; e grau 5 (péssimo) – 9,91% das plantas presentes. O trabalho avaliou também os indivíduos arbóreos considerados imunes ao corte, reconhecendo a importância da proteção legal, mas destacando falhas na implementação e manutenção das mesmas. Apontamos a importância da Praça dos Mártires para o Centro de Fortaleza, mas chamamos também atenção para a necessidade da adoção de critérios mais robustos para a declaração de proteção legal às árvores e para a necessidade de medidas efetivas de cuidado com as plantas, já que muitas estão severamente danificadas.

Published: December 2024

Continuous sowing is preferable over row (line), close-row, cross, and broadcast sowing due to economic and agronomic reasons. Lawn grasses sometimes have to be sown in areas with complex configurations. The proposed experimental seeder for the continuous sowing of lawn grasses, equipped with a seeding unit of the coil type, has passed bench tests, but it is necessary to check its performance quality in the field conditions. In order to verify the quality indicators of continuous sowing of lawn grasses under the straight-line and curvilinear motion modes, the authors conducted laboratory and field tests of the experimental seeder according to GOST 31345-2017 at the field station of Russian State Agrarian University - Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy using lawn mixture “Gazon Bystriy [Quick Lawn]” as a test sample. The quality indicators of the seeding unit and the main parts of the seeder - relative field germination of seeds and the width of the seeded strip - were checked after the emergence of full sprouts and counting the number of plants on the sites of 0.25 m2 , located along different trajectories of the seeder. The results of laboratory-field tests showed that relative field germination of seeds amounted to 83 to 96% at different trajectories. The width of the seeded strip behind the seeder was 90.8 cm. The non-uniformity index of total seeding by sprouts amounted to 5.61% with the standard of 9%. The study results have confirmed that the seeding unit does not reduce the quality of seed material and the developed seeder is suitable for continuous sowing of lawn grasses.

Authors:   Timirâzevskaâ selʹskohozâjstvennaâ akademiâ, GRIGORIEVA MARINA V.
Published: December 2024

The content of the “Chemistry” course taken by agroengineering students poorly corresponds to their future professional activity. In this regard, an urgent task is to prove the possibility of developing job-related content of a “Chemistry” course. The author aimed to find a methodological basis for the use of a systematic approach to develop job-related content of the “Chemistry” course to bridge the gap between the educational process and the future professional activity. The solutions proposed by the author root from the theory of the invariant structure of teaching content. The methodological solution based on the system approach and a combination of object and occupational determinants was applied to design job-related content of the “Chemistry” course for training area 35.03.06 Agroengineering. The author checked the content correspondence of the designed “Chemistry” course to the invariant components of the content of professional training. As a result, the author presents the implementation of this approach for job-related training of the “Chemistry” course. The content of the “Chemistry” course taught to students of training area 35.03.06 “Agroengineering” should include the following sections: the structure of matter, properties of organic and inorganic substances, properties of solutions and dispersed systems, energy of physicochemical processes, kinetics of physicochemical processes. Job-related training will allow students to form the general professional competence “able to solve typical problems of professional activity applying the knowledge of basic laws of mathematical and natural sciences with the use of information and communication technologies”.

Jordan test for the Haar-type systems
Authors: Shcherbakov V. I.
Published: December 2024

We consider Haar-type systems, which are generated by a (generally speaking, unbounded) sequence $ \{ p_n \}_{n=1}^\infty $, and which are defined on the modified segment $ [0, 1]^* $, i.\,e., on the segment [0, 1] whose $ \{ p_n \}$-rational points are calculated two times. The main result of this work is a Jordan-type test for the pointwise and uniform convergence of Fourier series with respect to Haar-type systems. It is shown that the test obtained in the paper can not be improved. An example of a function of bounded variation, whose Fourier series with respect to Haar-type system diverges at some point, is constructed in the case of $ \sup\limits_n p_n = \infty$. Thus for any unbounded sequence $ \{ p_n \}_{n=1}^\infty $ there exists a monotone function whose Fourier series with respect to Haar-type system, generated by the given sequence $ \{ p_n \}_{n=1}^\infty $, diverges at some point. It is found that the Jordan test of convergence of Fourier series with respect to Haar-type systems does not differ from the Dini--Lipschitz condition for those systems. As the Dini--Lipschitz condition was considered earlier, the main value of this work is the construction of a corresponding counterexample, i.\,e., the construction of an example (a model) of a function of bounded variation whose Fourier series with respect to Haar-type Systems diverges at some point. In the counterexamples from the earlier works on the Dini--Lipschitz criterion (as well as for all Dini convergence criteria), the functions were {\it not of bounded variation}. The article's conclusion discusses how the Jordan convergence criterion evolved when transitioning from trigonometric systems of functions to Price systems (and to N.Ya. Vilenkin systems), and from there to generalized Haar systems and Haar-type systems.

METHODOLOGICAL MODEL OF COMPARATIVE PEDAGOGICAL RESEARCH OF ADULT EDUCATION
Authors: Vashchenko Viktor
Published: December 2024

The article summarizes the experience of modeling comparative pedagogical research and proposes a methodological model in the context of adult education. The study actualizes the issues of comparative pedagogical research in the field of adult education in Ukraine in the context of European integration of social development. It is found that the generalization and systematization of practical experience of the countries of the European community is of particular importance in this aspect. The synergistic methodological model proposed in the study includes several levels – analytical and theoretical, interpretive and methodological, generalizing and comparative and effective. The author identifies the optimal methodological approaches for each of the four levels, as well as methods and tools for their implementation. The potential for applying the proposed methodological model in practice, in particular, for studying the adult education system in the countries of the European community, is investigated. The possibility of using this experience for the purpose of its implementation in the adult education system in Ukraine is analyzed. The potential of informational education, which is a process of self-organized acquisition of certain competencies, is investigated. It is proved that, being not necessarily purposeful and structured, information education actively contributes to the expansion of professional knowledge and skills and is positioned as one of the key competencies of the individual. It has been established that the concept of information education forms the prerequisites for self-realization, acquisition of new knowledge, skills and abilities, increasing motivation and level of professional competence. The policies and programs that should be implemented in response to the globalization of education as a tool for maximizing its potential are identified. The analysis of the national level of internationalization of adult education is carried out, its organizational strategies are considered through the prism of targeted programs and personal motivation of students.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: methamphetamine (MA) trafficking has spread to 117 countries between 2010 and 2020. In Mexico, MA ranked second among illegal drugs in the search for treatment, increasing by 218% between 2018 and 2020 in young people aged 18 to 25. Objective: estimate the prevalence and analyze the factors associated with methamphetamine use among college students. Method: 211 Students pursuing technical and undergraduate degrees of Universidad Veracruzana in the state Veracruz, Mexico, were included. Sociodemographic, academic, illegal drug use, and psychosocial factors were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate associations. Results: lifetime prevalence 1.10% and last twelve months .39%; those who consumed cocaine are 2.6 times more likely to use methamphetamine (p = .006, CI: 1.319-5.427), crack or rock cocaine 16 times (p = .000, CI: 3.451-74.942), and hallucinogens 2.3 times (p = .009, CI: 1.241-4.547). High academic performance was a protective factor, and the use of free time during the school week was a risk factor that increased the probability of using methamphetamines 3.52 times. Discussion and conclusions: MA consumption was identified at this university stage and was reported in both men and women. The main risk factors associated with MA consumption were family dysfunction and use of free time during the week. In the context where the study was carried out, this illicit substance is among the main synthetic drugs consumed.
Efectos y prevalencia del consumo simultáneo de alcohol y cannabis: una revisión narrativa
Authors: Martínez-Peña Annia Alejandra
Published: December 2024

Introduction: the use of cannabis has increased significantly over the last few decades. However, knowledge surrounding the simultaneous use of this substance and alcohol is scarce. Objective: to explore the prevalence, effects and risky situations related to the simultaneous use of cannabis and alcohol, with a focus on Mexico. Method: for this narrative review, a search was carried out in the PubMed database using the terms “alcohol”, “cannabis”, “marihuana”, “co-use” and “simultaneous use”. The relevant literature was selected and notable references were reviewed, focusing on alcohol and cannabis use disorders, consumption during pregnancy and before driving. Results: the prevalence of simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use has increased over the past few years, particularly among adolescents and young adults. This consumption pattern results in increased cognitive impairment, a higher number of negative consequences, a greater impact on embryonic development and a higher probability of risky driving compared to single-substance use. Discussion and conclusions: understanding this consumption pattern is essential for developing prevention and harm reduction strategies for vulnerable populations and risky situations. It is necessary to standardize the terms and methodologies used and carry out more studies focused on the prevalence, pharmacological and long-term effects of simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use with larger and more diverse samples, including the Mexican population.

Abstract
Five epidemiological aspects of ASF were evaluated using literature reviews, field studies, questionnaires and mathematical models. First, a literature review and a case–control study in commercial pig farms emphasised the importance of biosecurity and farming practices, including the spread of manure around farms and the use of bedding material as risk factors, while the use of insect nets was a protective factor. Second, although wild boar density is a relevant known factor, the statistical and mechanistic models did not show a clear and consistent effect of wild boar density on ASF epidemiology in the selected scenarios. Other factors, such as vegetation, altitude, climate and barriers affecting population connectivity, also played a role on ASF epidemiology in wild boar. Third, knowledge on Ornithodoros erraticus competence, presence and surveillance was updated concluding that this species did not play any role in the current ASF epidemic in affected areas of the EU. Available scientific evidence suggests that stable flies and horse flies are exposed to ASFV in affected areas of the EU and have the capacity to introduce ASFV into farms and transmit it to pigs. However, there is uncertainty about whether this occurs, and if so, to what extent. Fourth, research and field experience from affected countries in the EU demonstrates that the use of fences, potentially used with existing road infrastructure, coupled with other control methods such as culling and carcass removal, can effectively reduce wild boar movements contributing to ASF management in wild boar. Fences can contribute to control ASF in both scenarios, focal introductions and wave‐like spread. Fifth, the use of gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) vaccines as an immune contraceptive has the potential, as a complementary tool, to reduce and control wild boar populations. However, the development of an oral GnRH vaccine for wild boar still requires substantial additional work.

Authors: Gasti Kakasaheb Laxman
Published: December 2024

The Maratha leaders analyzed the need to educate their people in order to eradicate superstitious practices and to  improve community social life and behaviour. They first started a Gymnastic schools to create awareness among the people regarding physical wellbeing. Further it was the Diwan Annasaheb Latthe, who inspired and guided these leaders to establish an education institution. Thus with the strong determination of some enthusiastic leaders, on 3rd January, 1931 Maratha Mandal Education Society was established under the president ship of Laxman Hoovappa Rane. Later, in order to teach basic reading and writing to illiterate youths, the Maratha Education Society started a night school from 7th May, 1934 at Kamath Galli in Belagavi. The institute intended not only to make them literate but also to create consciousness among the youths regarding the social evil practices and to create awareness about social and political reforms. Further, from 29th September, 1935, the night school got converted into normal school. And finally an English Medium School was started in Kanpur in June 1940 in order to impart education to the rural children.
In this paper an attempt has been made to understand the historical development of the Maratha Mandal Education Society and to assess its contributions. The scope of the study is restricted to the history an establishment of  Maratha Mandal and its educational institutions
AN ANALYSIS OF THE MECHANISM OF REMOVAL OF JUDGES OF THE HIGHER JUDICIARY IN INDIA
Authors: Altaf Mir Mubashir , Dar Mohd. Ayub
Published: December 2024

The higher judiciary in India is one of the most powerful judiciaries of the world owing to the abiding public faith in the integrity and impartiality of its judges. Over the years the higher judiciary in India through its creative constitutional adjudication has set out a robust rights-based regime for the citizenry. A gamut of judicial dictums has carved out a bundle of rights from Part 3rd of the Constitution by adopting a purposive approach to constitutional interpretation. This activist role played by the judiciary largely depends on the broad powers vested in the judiciary within the Constitution, especially about its power to do complete justice within the rubric of Article 142 of the Constitution. However, with ascendancy in judicial power, there has been a clamor for making the judges of the higher judiciary accountable, especially in light of a series of allegations of corruption against judges over the past decade or so. This paper attempts to analyze the mechanisms of judicial accountability in India, especially concerning the process of removing the judges set out in the Constitution.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to develop Augmented Reality (AR) based learning media in the form of videos to improve the mastery of Tahiyyat Arabiyah vocabulary in students who take Arabic language courses. This media is designed to help students understand and memorize Arabic mufrodat more interactively and interestingly through the use of AR technology. The development model used in this research is ADDIE, which includes five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects involved early semester students of Arabic language courses at Institut Agama Islam Negeri Sheikh Nurjati Cirebon, with the participation of 53 students in the initial survey and 33 students and seven lectures in the product trial. The results showed that the use of AR video contributed significantly in improving the mastery of Arabic vocabulary, especially those related to Tahiyyat Arabiyah. Students who used this media showed improvement in terms of vocabulary mastery and proper pronunciation. In addition, AR video was considered very effective in terms of visual appearance and ease of use. Respondents rated this media as able to increase learning motivation and provide a more interactive learning experience compared to traditional methods. However, there are some technical challenges, such as device compatibility that only supports the Android system. This research makes a new contribution in the context of Arabic language learning and shows that AR technology has great potential to be adopted in foreign language learning more widely.

Abdurrahman Wahid Pekalongan, analyzes student responses to the program, and explores their expectations regarding the Arabic language learning method at the higher education level. The research approach is qualitative evaluative, aimed at assessing the implementation of the intensive Arabic language program. The evaluation model used is Stake’s Model, which includes three stages: Antecedents (background), Transaction (process), and Outcomes (results). Data were collected from primary sources (teachers and students) and secondary sources (placement test scores, final program grades, and satisfaction survey reports). Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that the program improves Arabic language proficiency, particularly for students with a general education background, although challenges such as varying effectiveness and the need to improve tutor planning remain. Final grades were generally positive, but students expressed a desire for more speaking practice, a more suitable schedule, representative classes, and more varied and interactive teaching methods.
Psycholinguistic Approaches to Enhancing Arabic Speaking Proficiency through Comic Strips
Authors: Mahmudah Menik , Nurhanifansyah Nurhanifansyah , Khalid Syarif Muhammad Syaheed bin
Published: December 2024

This study explores the effectiveness of using comic strips as a psycholinguistic approach to enhance Arabic speaking proficiency (maharat al-kalam) among students. Traditional methods of teaching Arabic often emphasize grammar memorization, which can disengage students and hinder their ability to apply the language in spoken contexts. In contrast, comic strips provide a visual and narrative framework that makes learning more engaging, promoting better vocabulary retention and comprehension of sentence structures. Quantitative data was gathered through pre-tests, post-tests, and speaking tasks, while qualitative data was obtained from questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The results showed significant improvement in the experimental group in terms of vocabulary retention, sentence structure comprehension, and speaking confidence. The visual and contextual elements of comic strips helped students internalize the language more effectively. Additionally.  However, some challenges were noted in understanding cultural contexts within the comic strips. Notably, while comics are typically used to motivate and enhance maharat al-qiro'ah (reading skills), this study found that they can also be effectively applied to improve maharat al-kalam (speaking skills) through the incorporation of Arabic vocabulary and a psycholinguistic approach.  This study concludes that comic strips offer a valuable and innovative tool for enhancing Arabic speaking proficiency, providing both cognitive and motivational benefits.

From the whole to its parts – A systematic analysis of affordances for learning part-whole-relations in digital apps
Authors: Marx Caroline , Roesch Stephanie , Moeller Korbinian , Benz Christiane
Published: December 2024

Understanding part-whole relations is crucial in early mathematics education. However, both analogue and digital learning environments often lack systematic approaches to foster part-whole understanding. With the rising popularity of educational apps, it is essential to evaluate how they implement learning of part-whole relations. Accordingly, this review aims to evaluate whether educational math apps provide a systematic approach to learn part-whole relations. Therefore, we first developed a framework for evaluating apps with a focus on opportunities for learning part-whole relations. Second, we applied this framework to evaluate n = 18 apps. Results indicated that none of the reviewed apps implemented a systematic approach to learn part-whole relations from hands-on to more abstract compositions/decompositions including number triples up to ten. In contrast, the automating of number compositions/decompositions is most frequently targeted. These findings underscore the importance of selecting educational apps carefully and integrating principles from effective learning environments and digital learning research into future app design.
The role of self-awareness and reflection in academic achievement: A psychological and Bayesian analysis
Authors: Sohail Ayesha , Akram Huma
Published: December 2024

The ability to properly evaluate one’s own academic progress has long been considered a predictor of academic success. However, its distinctive role in the context of computational mathematics remains underexplored. Grounded in social cognitive theory, this study investigates the critical role of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies in enhancing mathematics learning, particularly in programming-based contexts. Focusing on two components of SRL, self-awareness and reflection, the study provides empirical evidence on the psychological effectiveness of SRL in academic outcomes through the implementation of an e-portfolio-based intervention. Using Bayesian inference, the study models individual learning processes, offering personalized insights for effective educational interventions. The analysis reveals that the use of e-portfolios significantly fosters self-awareness and enhances learning among students. Nevertheless, the study also addresses psychological challenges in programming-based mathematical education, such as complex problem-solving and abstract thinking. The findings highlight the need for interactive, technology-enhanced teaching approaches to keep university-level students engaged and motivated. Key psychological implications are discussed for relevant measures in mathematics education.

In recent years, global concern has grown regarding the degradation of marine ecosystems. Humanity has greatly benefited from the oceans, underscoring the constant need for restoration and conservation of marine ecosystems. International cooperation is essential for protecting the oceans, with Japan, an island nation surrounded by the sea, playing a crucial role in marine environmental conservation. For the sustainable use of marine resources and the preservation of marine environments, comprehensive measures are important. Particularly, marine biology education for the next generation holds great importance. Here, we report a detailed case study on the creation of a scientific picture book about marine organisms in Japan and its feedback. The book explores the theme of mutual symbiosis among marine organisms, aiming through illustrations and storytelling to help children understand the complexities of marine life. It focuses on the symbiotic relationship between hermit crabs and sea anemones. The picture book was developed based on scientific literature survey and specimen observation. Positive feedback from readers highlights how effectively the picture book conveys educational content on marine biology, suggesting the potential of science picture books as powerful tools in educational outreach and environmental conservation efforts. This report discusses the creative process, the educational impact of the picture book, and offers valuable insights into the use of visual arts and narrative in science education.
The Current Situation, Problems and Countermeasures of the Development of Rural Social Organizations in Poverty-Stricken Mountainous Areas
Authors: Yue Hu
Published: December 2024

With the continuous deepening and development of the market economy and social structure, a large number of social organizations have emerged in rural my country to represent, serve and safeguard the interests of farmers. Rural social organizations play an important role in participating in social governance, assisting rural construction, and promoting economic development due to their public welfare and social nature. However, due to problems such as lack of endogenous motivation, loose organizational management, and structural imbalances in rural social organizations in poverty-stricken mountainous areas, there are certain constraints in rural integration and self-development. Combined with the current situation, problems and role of rural social organizations in poverty-stricken mountainous areas, we will explore effective countermeasures to strengthen rural social organizations in the process of rural construction and development, and promote the role of rural social organizations through measures such as strengthening party and government empowerment, innovating organizational systems, and strengthening organizational connections. It can be used effectively to improve its promotion and connection functions in stabilizing poverty alleviation results, promoting rural revitalization and achieving common prosperity.
Validating urea-nitrogen CARS spectra with collaborative filtering
Authors: Varun Patankar
Published: December 2024

As someone passionate about improving end stage renal disease (ESRD) treatment, I covered a program that I developed which enhances the success of dialysis. ESRD is a condition where the kidneys lose function, requiring dialysis to remove urea nitrogen from the blood via dialysate fluid. Accurate analysis of dialysate samples is important, as it reveals excretory success, and Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS) is ideal for this purpose. CARS measures the molecular composition of a sample by using light interactions to produce a molecule vibrational signal, revealing urea nitrogen concentrations. To ensure the validity of CARS results, as measurements can be inaccurate, I’ve integrated collaborative filtering techniques into a program. These techniques find patterns from user input to identify valid samples. My program has two algorithms: Byzantine Generals and Iyengar, the latter providing more in-depth analysis. Both algorithms compare user input parameters—such as wavelengths, intensities, and concentrations—to a database of lab values from Atonarp's pilot study. The tool interface allows users to input their spectral data, select an algorithm for validation, and get results with comparison graphs. If no data is available, sample data can be copied and pasted. Tested with real-life data from Atonarp, this tool can be used to make the dialysis process safer and more accurate.

Published: December 2024

Mosquitoes are considered a global health by transmitting lethal infectious diseases threat worldwide with potentially large fatalities rates such as malaria, dengue, and yellow fever, during their bites and feed on the blood of vertebrates including humans. Mosquitoes are globally existing and usually more active in hot and humid environments, where they can multiply and spread.
Another important health issue is mosquitoes’ bites allergic immune reactions that can be potentially life-threatening and require allergist/ immunologist intervention and actions.

Published: December 2024

The purpose of this research was to study the effectiveness of bentonite clay of aluminosilicate origin (Askangel) from Georgia as a natural adsorbent of mycotoxins in aquaculture, specifically in trout feeding. The study was conducted on rainbow trout divided into three test groups, each receiving different percentages of Askangel (0.1%, 0.15%,0.2%) in their feed. A synthetic adsorbent was added at 0.1% to the control group’s feed.
At the end of the experiment, the weight gain for fish was as follows: 205±0,62 g in the IV test group and 203±0,72 g in the III test group, 189±0,85 g in the II test group, and 175 ±0,83 g in the control group. Fish survival rates were 97% in the III and IV test groups, 95% in the II test group, and 92% in the control group. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) was 0.9-0.92 in the III and IV test groups, 1 in the II test group, and 1.1 in the control group.
The adsorption rate of aflatoxin B1 reached 83-90% in the III and IV test groups, while T2/HT2 mycotoxin adsorption was 12.5-14%. In the II test group, the adsorption rate for B1 was 76.4%, and for T2/HT2 it was 10%. In the control group, the adsorption rates were 68.1% for B1 and 7.1% for T2/HT2. The results indicate that Askangel serves as an effective mycotoxin adsorbent, positively influencing the growth, health, and chemical composition of trout meat

In the present research work, medicinally important dried leaves of Annona squamosa were demonstrated for the identification of phytochemical compounds and Pharmacological activities. Plants were very important in medicinal field; they have similar properties as conventional drugs. Medicinal plants are safer due to their lower chances of adverse effects and better compatibility to human being. Different solvents are used to extract the biological compounds present in the leaves; among them methanol shows more biological compounds. Chemical constituents derived from plant source have a very long history in treatment of human diseases. Nearly 70% of new chemical entities reported during the past decades were from natural products. In the present study, on abdominal section histopathological observation for analgesic and antiulcer activities were reported. Analgesic activity was observed to the level of clinical importance, this activity was due to the presence of flavonoids and antiulcer activity exhibited due to mucosal defensive factor, than can be used for treatment of peptic ulcer. Further research is required to identify the active phytoconstituents present in the extract and experimentation on the healing action of drug as well as less side effects. The present investigation on mode of action may give way for establishment of new anti-ulcer and analgesic activity.
