Published: January 2024

Objectives:

The study aimed to assess the neuroprotective effect of Boswellia serrata
against 3-NP-induced experimental Huntington’s disease.

Background:

Previous studies have shown Boswellia to have sedative, analgesic, and anti-tumour
effects. Boswellia serrata yields four pentacyclic triterpene acids and boswellic acid, a bioactive
substance that prevents leukotriene biogenesis.

Methods:

The potential neuroprotective effect of Boswellia serrata against 3-nitro propionic acid
(3-NP)-induced Huntington's disease (HD) was examined at oral doses of 45 mg/kg, 90 mg/kg,
and 180 mg/kg. In this study, HD was induced by 3-NP at a dose of 10 mg/kg in Wistar rats. The
study used 56 Wistar rats (8 per group) for biochemical (inflammatory markers, acetylcholinesterase
activity) and behavioural (elevated plus maze, Y-maze, open-field, tail suspension tests,
etc.) assessments. Additionally, a histological examination of the brain was carried out. In addition,
the analysis of Boswellia serrata extract was performed by different analytical techniques,
like UV spectrophotometer, FTIR, and HPLC methods.

Results:

In the brain, succinate dehydrogenase is a mitochondrial enzyme irreversibly inhibited
by 3-NP. Administration of 3-NP resulted in HD with altered behavioural and motor changes
in rats. Treatment with Boswellia serrata resulted in remarkable protection of rats against
3-NP-induced behaviour and motor deficits in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, in rats
administered with 3-NP, Boswellia serrata improved memory performance and lowered levels of
inflammatory biomarkers. These results have also been supported by histopathological analysis.
Acetyl-11-keto-p-boswellic acid was found to be the main active component of Boswellia serrata
extract.

Conclusion:

Boswellia serrata at a dose of 180 mg/kg exhibited better protection compared to the
other doses against HD induced by 3-NP. More detailed studies based on molecular targets are
needed for the Boswellia serrata to transition from the bench to the bedside for use as an adjuvant
in HD patients.

GABA-transaminase: A Key Player and Potential Therapeutic Target for
Neurological Disorders
Authors: Grover Sania , Narang Raj Kumar , Singh Shamsher
Published: January 2024

Neurological disorders such as epilepsy, autism, Huntington's disease, multiple sclerosis,
and Alzheimer's disease alter brain functions like cognition, mood, movements, and language, severely compromising the well-being of persons, suffering from their negative effects. The neurotransmitters (GABA, glutamate, norepinephrine, dopamine) are found to be involved in neuronal
signaling and neurotransmission. GABA, a "commanding neurotransmitter" is directly or indirectly
associated with various neurological disorders. GABA is metabolized to succinic semialdehyde by a
mitochondrial gamma-aminobutyric acid-transaminase (GABA-T) enzyme. Therefore, the alterations
in the GABA performance in the distinct regions of the brain via GABA-T overstimulation or inhibition would play a vital role in the pathogenesis of various neurological disorders. This review emphasizes the leading participation of GABA-T in neurological disorders like Huntington's disease,
epilepsy, autism, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis. In Huntington's disease, epilepsy, and
multiple sclerosis, the surfeited performance of GABA-T results in diminished levels of GABA,
whereas in autism, the subsidence of GABA-T activity causes the elevation in GABA contents,
which is responsible for behavioral changes in these disorders. Therefore, GABA-T inhibitors (in
Huntington's disease, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis) or agonists (in autism) can be used therapeutically. In the context of Alzheimer's disease, some researchers favor the stimulation of GABA-T activity whereas some disagree with it. Therefore, the activity of GABA-T concerning Alzheimer's
disease is still unclear. In this way, studies of GABA-T enzymatic activity in contrast to neurological
disorders could be undertaken to understand and be considered a therapeutic target for several
GABA-ergic CNS diseases.
Role of Imaging Genetics in Alzheimer’s Disease: A Systematic Review
and Current Update
Authors: Chhetri Aakash , Goel Kashish , Ludhiadch Abhilash , Singh Paramdeep , Munshi Anjana
Published: January 2024

Background:

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by
severe cognitive, behavioral, and psychological symptoms, such as dementia, cognitive decline, apathy,
and depression. There are no accurate methods to diagnose the disease or proper therapeutic
interventions to treat AD. Therefore, there is a need for novel diagnostic methods and markers to
identify AD efficiently before its onset. Recently, there has been a rise in the use of imaging techniques
like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(fMRI) as diagnostic approaches in detecting the structural and functional changes in the brain,
which help in the early and accurate diagnosis of AD. In addition, these changes in the brain have
been reported to be affected by variations in genes involved in different pathways involved in the
pathophysiology of AD.

Methodology:

A literature review was carried out to identify studies that reported the association of
genetic variants with structural and functional changes in the brain in AD patients. Databases like
PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science were accessed to retrieve relevant studies. Keywords
like ‘fMRI’, ‘Alzheimer’s’, ‘SNP’, and ‘imaging’ were used, and the studies were screened using
different inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results:

15 studies that found an association of genetic variations with structural and functional
changes in the brain were retrieved from the literature. Based on this, 33 genes were identified to
play a role in the development of disease. These genes were mainly involved in neurogenesis, cell
proliferation, neural differentiation, inflammation and apoptosis. Few genes like FAS, TOM40,
APOE, TRIB3 and SIRT1 were found to have a high association with AD. In addition, other genes
that could be potential candidates were also identified.

Conclusion::

Imaging genetics is a powerful tool in diagnosing and predicting AD and has the
potential to identify genetic biomarkers and endophenotypes associated with the development of the
disorder.

Pharmacotherapy of Psychological Disorders Using Psychedelic Drugs: A Treatise for Psychiatrists
Authors: Ghosh Payal , Sur Debjeet
Published: January 2024

:

Psychedelics are currently being examined once more as potential remedies
for untreatable biological illnesses after decades of research problems. They are frequently
regarded to be physically safe and do not frequently lead to dependency or addiction.
The use of psychedelic substances in the treatment of mental illness and the adoption of
the Substance Act of 1970 has classified psychedelic drugs as Schedule I. The major
objective of this review is to highlight the prospective use of specific psychedelic medicines,
such as psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, and ayahuasca, in the treatment of various psychiatric
conditions, such as treatment-resistant depression, post-traumatic traumatic
stress, end-of-life anxiety, and substance misuse disorders. As documented from both
animal and human studies, in addition, there will be a study of the effectiveness and safety.
The body of research suggests that psychedelics may one day offer revolutionary
treatments for mental diseases, contrary to conventional therapy. However, given their
distinctive histories and a high potential for abuse with widespread distribution, more
care and effort must be given to protect their use as efficient medical treatments instead
of drugs of abuse.

Authors: Tripathi Devika , Sharma Sakshi , Mishra Gauransh , Gupta Tanya , Prabhu B.H. Manjunatha , Sahoo Jagannath
Published: January 2024

The extraction of natural products is a critical area of focus in the interdisciplinary domain of applied chemistry, biology, and technology, with an emphasis
on the development of eco-friendly and sustainable methodologies driven by increasing consumer demand for environmentally friendly alternatives and industry concerns
about sustainable, non-toxic extraction techniques. The yield and composition of natural extracts are contingent upon the extraction method employed and the solvent selected. Emerging technologies are designed to reduce extraction time, increase extraction yield, eliminate the use of solvents, and lessen environmental impact. The pharmaceutical industry has conducted extensive research into the application of innovative extraction technologies, including green technologies. In line with the development of “green technology,” the use of green solvents for the extraction of phytochemicals, as opposed to conventional non-eco-friendly solvents, is of paramount importance. Hydrotropes are one such class of green solvents that enhance the solubility
of poorly water-soluble or hydrophobic compounds in aqueous solutions by reducing
toxicity, cost-effectiveness, and pH independence. These compounds have the potential to enhance the bioavailability, solubility, dissolution rate, extraction yield, and
purity of extracted phytoconstituents. Their use minimizes energy consumption and
costs, making them an efficient and sustainable choice in the extraction process. This
review highlights the extensive use of hydrotropes in the innovative extraction of
phytoactive compounds. It provides a comprehensive overview of hydrotrope chemistry, addresses toxicological concerns, and discusses state-of-the-art extraction technologies. The review also examines factors affecting the yield of phytoconstituents
and explores available drug delivery systems. The potential of hydrotropes in this
context is promising, paving the way for more efficient and environmentally friendly
extraction methodologies.
Maximizing Emotion Recognition Accuracy with Ensemble Techniques on
EEG Signals
Authors: Jha Sonu Kumar , Suvvari Somaraju , Kumar Mukesh
Published: January 2024

Background::

Emotion is a strong feeling such as love, anger, fear, etc. Emotion can
be recognized in two ways, i.e., External expression and Biomedical data-based. Nowadays,
various research is occurring on emotion classification with biomedical data.

Aim::

One of the most current studies in the medical sector, gaming-based applications, education
sector, and many other domains is EEG-based emotion identification. The existing research
on emotion recognition was published using models like KNN, RF Ensemble, SVM, CNN, and
LSTM on biomedical EEG data. In general, only a few works have been published on ensemble
or concatenation models for emotion recognition on EEG data and achieved better results than
individual ones or a few machine learning approaches. Various papers have observed that CNN
works better than other approaches for extracting features from the dataset, and LSTM works
better on the sequence data.

Method::

Our research is based on emotion recognition using EEG data, a mixed-model deep
learning methodology, and its comparison with a machine learning mixed-model methodology.
In this study, we introduced a mixed model using CNN and LSTM that classifies emotions in
valence and arousal on the DEAP dataset with 14 channels across 32 people.

Result and Discussion:

We then compared it to SVM, KNN, and RF Ensemble, and concatenated
these models with it. First preprocessed the raw data, then checked emotion classification
using SVM, KNN, RF Ensemble, CNN, and LSTM individually. After that with the mixed model
of CNN-LSTM, and SVM-KNN-RF Ensemble results are compared. Proposed model results
have better accuracy as 80.70% in valence than individual ones with CNN, LSTM, SVM, KNN,
RF Ensemble and concatenated models of SVM, KNN and RF Ensemble.

Conclusion::

Overall, this paper concludes a powerful technique for processing a range of EEG
data is the combination of CNNs and LSTMs. Ensemble approach results show better performance
in the case of valence at 80.70% and 78.24% for arousal compared to previous research.

Az új típusú munkavállalás: a platform gazdaság és a platform munka sajátosságai
Authors: Arany László , Popovics Péter András
Published: January 2024

The industry value of the global platform economy exceeded 7 trillion US dollars by the end of the second decade of the 21st century. The income generated by the platform economy in the European Union produced an almost five-fold increase in the period between 2016-2020, as its volume increased from 3 billion euros to 14 billion euros. Nevertheless, due to the lack of global consensus and precedent, the delimitation of the platform business model and work, its legal regulation and verifiability and compliance, due to its innovative nature, are unresolved at the world and European level. The objective of the article is to define the conditions, rules and practical application of the platform economy and platform work, relying on international (English-language, mostly European) secondary information, thereby revealing the problems and difficulties, as well as discussing its advantages and disadvantages.
Turing Machine Halting Problem, Russell’s Paradox and Gödel Incompleteness Theorem
Authors: Zhang Hong
Published: January 2024

The Turing Machine Halting Problem is a major problem in computer theory, Russell’s Paradox is the root of the Third Mathematical Crisis, and the Gödel Incompleteness Theorem is a major discovery in modern logic. The three have had a profound impact on the development of science and have attracted the attention of scientific and philosophical circles. However, since the Gödel Incompleteness Theorem was put forward, the scientific and philosophical significance of its proof has been questioned; in particular, Wittgenstein regards it as a certain logical paradox, and Russell’s Paradox has not yet been settled. This paper makes a detailed analysis of the three based on the view of dialectical infinity. The author notes that the Principle of Comprehension based on the view of actual infinity is the root of Russell’s Paradox. The Turing Machine Halting Problem shows that it is impossible to make an actual-infinite ultimate judgment of the constantly generated infinite world, but the philosophical significance of the Gödel Incompleteness Theorem is that our understanding of the world is essentially potentially infinite. At the end of the article, the author raises several questions about the proof of the Gödel Incompleteness Theorem, finds out the specific paradox form in the proof, points out the high consistency of its proof method and Russell’s Paradox, which strongly supports Wittgenstein’s view. The author points out that the philosophical basis of the proof of the Gödel Incompleteness Theorem is the idea of actual infinity, the proof of the theorem is based on a logically invalid circular formula, the contradiction of the proof originates from the Gödel formula itself, and cannot be attributed to the incompleteness of the system, so the proof is wrong. Therefore, the conclusion of this paper is that the world is constantly developing and changing, and our human understanding of the world is essentially a potential infinite, that is, the world is Aristotelian, not Platonic.

Abstract: The renewable energy, Malaysia hopes to lessen its reliance on oil and gas. Wind energy is one of the more promising renewable sources of electricity. Malaysia is situated in an area with low wind speeds, with an annual mean wind speed of 1.2- 4.1 m/s, close to the equator. The northeast monsoon and the southwest monsoon are the two monsoonseasons that Malaysia experiences. While wind speeds during the northeast monsoon can approach 15 m/s, they can only reach 7 m/s during the southwest monsoon season. The potential for wind energy in Sarawak, Malaysia, has only receiveda limited amount of research and study. In this article, MATLAB/SIMULINK will be used for modelling and simulation of numerous wind energy conversion systems (WESC) utilizing different generators operating under the same conditionsin order to analysis the generators' efficiency. Although ultimately all of them are equally efficient, PMSG has shown tobe more efficient than SCIG and DFIG at lower wind speeds. SCIG, DFIG, and PMSG efficiency are, respectively, 66.25%, 69.38%, and 71.88% at the rated wind speed.

Published: January 2024

It is seen that education systems all over the world have basic sciences, arts and sports courses within each structure. The importance of sports classes is increasing day by day in today's world where sedentary lifestyle increases with the age of digitalization. Physical education and sports lessons are important in order to meet the exercise needs of children who have the ability but are not able to do professional sports. When we study the historical development of physical education and sports in Turkey, we can say that it is mostly influenced by the German education system and educators after the 1920s. German gymnasts worked as physical education and sports teachers in the Ministry of Education. In short, physical education and sports education and its curriculum in the Turkish education system have been influenced by the German education system for years. The aim of this study is to examine the physical education and sports courses in Turkish and German current education systems. As a result of the research, it is seen that although Turkish-German education systems are very different from each other, there is one or more weekly lessons per class in physical education and sports curricula. It is seen that the biggest difference is in primary education. The course carried out with the name of physical education and games in the primary schools in Turkey is carried out 5 hours a week in the grades 1-3 and 2 hours a week in the 4th grade. While the average class hour of 4 years is 17 in Turkey, this number is 11 hours in Germany.

The improvement of urban road infrastructure is a crucial aspect of development, yet it is often accompanied by environmental impacts that need careful consideration. One of the environmental issues that arises is noise pollution, especially in urban areas experiencing high growth in the transportation sector. The research aims to evaluate the relationship between road service levels and noise levels. The analysis of the data reveals that the highest peak hour volume occurs on Mondays from 12:00 to 12:15, with a value of 133.8 vehicles per hour (vph), followed by Sundays from 16:00 to 16:15 with 130.7 vph. The road capacity reaches 1484.05 vph with a Volume-to-Capacity Ratio (DS) of 0.101 (DS < 0.75), indicating good service levels. The free-flow speed of vehicles on Imam Bonjol street is 34.06 km/h. Overall, the road is categorized at service level B. However, the noise level generated by vehicles around this road is quite high, exceeding the established quality standards ranging from 58 to 63 dB. The highest values occur on weekdays, especially during peak hours, indicating that traffic volume and surrounding activities influence noise levels. Noise exceeding the standard limits can have negative impacts on human health and environmental comfort.

The research conducted on Jalan Taman Siswa No. 9 aims to determine the coherence between the number of two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles and the noise level on the highways around the campus. The data noise collection method uses a Sound Level Meter (SLM) with the HT-80A type and also counts the number of two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles passing by using the Traffic Counter application that has been installed in a smartphone. Noise can have an impact on human health, especially hearing problems and also cause inconvenience to both road users and residents in the vicinity. The variables that will be discussed are: volume of vehicles, especially two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles, and noise intensity. This data collection is needed to find the noise level and then compared using the standard allowable level, namely using the Decree of the State. Minister for the Environment No: Kepmen-48/MENLH/11/1996 for residential zones. Data analysis uses the Leq formula and then also uses the chi-square method to determine the relationship between the two variables. The total number of vehicles passing on the Taman Siswa road during the measurement was 23,530. In this study, the significance level used was 0.05 with the result that the p value for two-wheeled vehicles was 0.008 and for four-wheeled vehicles was 0.2.
