Authors: Omar Ulfat M. , Elmorsy Ekramy M.
Published: March 2022

Objectives: Lead (Pb) is widely-occurring metals with known immunotoxic properties that are frequently found in the environment. The current study was conducted to evaluate the lead induced bioenergetic disruption as underling mechanism of its immunotoxic effect on the isolated human peripheral blood monocytes (hPBM). Methods: The cytotoxic effect of Pb on hPBM was evaluated by MTT assay using concentration range from o.1 to 1000 μM. The effect of lead on the phagocytic activity of the isolated cells was evaluated. Finally, the effect of lead on the bioenergetics of hPBM was evaluated by studying its effect on ATP production as well as the activities of mitochondrial complex I and III. Finally the protective effect of co-enzyme Q10 on the hPBM phagocytic activities was studied. Results: Data showed that Pb was toxic to the isolated cells in a concentration and exposure duration dependent pattern with parallel decreases in the phagocytic activities of the isolated hPBM. Lead was shown to cause significant decreases in ATP production in the exposed hPBM with significant inhibitory effect on the mitochondrial complex I and III activities. Interestingly, co-enzyme Q10 showed significant protective effect on the isolated cells phagocytic activities. Conclusion: It can be concluded that some of the immunotoxic effects that the metals Pb can impart on the functionality of isolated hPBM (i.e., phagocytic activity,) may be secondary to an induced disruption of hPBM cell bioenergetics. Keywords: Heavy metals, monocytes, lead, mitochondria, immunotoxicity

The forests and savannahs of Mucaba municipality in northern Angola hold enormous potential for plant-based non-timber forest products (NTFPs), including wild food plants (WFPs). Mucaba communities have accumulated a wealth of traditional knowledge on the use of wild edible plants over their long history. However, few studies have highlighted this unique and globally attractive culture. The ethnobotanical survey was conducted in 9 villages in Mucaba Municipality in September and October 2020. A total of 65 local informants were interviewed (35 women and 30 men), and their traditional knowledge of wild edible plants was documented. A total of 46 wild edible plants, belonging to 25 families and 30 genera were documented. These plants are consumed as wild edible vegetables, seasonal fruits, spice substitutes for tea, and forest alcoholic drinks. The traditional knowledge of wild edible plants held by the villagers of Mucaba is rich but is in danger of being lost among the younger generation. Therefore, the diversified cultivation of these local plants would allow their sustainable use and conservation especially of the endangered species in this part of Angola.

Authors: Wanyi Pushmod
Published: March 2022

A good recommendation system can recommend a group of movies to users based on their interests or the popularity of the films. The recommendation systems are important because they assist them in making good choices without requiring them to expend their time. It is difficult and expensive for programmers to build an on-premise recommendation system to automate this process as there is a massive increase in data volume which requires high computational capacity. This paper describes the deployment of a movie recommendation engine in a cloud storage environment that uses ALS algorithm and POST API. The advantage of such a deployment is the use of cloud factors in the generation of recommendations, the cloud and the cloud environment promises high availability and thus reduces downtime for recommendation services.

La revocación de las autoridades regionales y municipales
Authors: Blancas Bustamante Carlos
Published: March 2022

La Constitución Política de 1993 introdujo como novedad diversos mecanismos de participación directa de la ciudadanía, entre ellos la revocación de las autoridades que la ley circunscribe a las de ámbito regional y municipal. La fatiga y desilusión provocada por la democracia representativa explica la introducción de estos mecanismos. La revocación de autoridades elegidas es opuesta al mandato representativo y admite el mandato imperativo, por lo que solo se aplica a autoridades de las administraciones regionales y locales. En este estudio se analizan los diversos aspectos que implica la revocación: el ámbito subjetivo, la oportunidad, la iniciativa, la justificación o motivo, la validez y eficacia de la decisión popular, los efectos en el gobierno regional o municipal y los efectos para la autoridad revocada.
Guerra civil y fractura del liberalismo en España: repercusiones en la concepción de los partidos políticos (1834-1844)
Authors: Fernández Torres Luis
Published: March 2022

El liberalismo decimonónico español aspiró a configurar el Estado y la sociedad en oposición a los patrones propios del Antiguo Régimen. Gran parte de los cambios que impulsaron formaban parte de la agenda de los protagonistas políticos de raigambre liberal; otros, en cambio, son en cierto sentido subproductos no voluntarios. Entre esas consecuencias indeseadas se encuentra el desarrollo de los partidos políticos radicados en las cámaras de representantes. La escisión en el seno del liberalismo español que se produjo a partir de la década de 1830 reforzó y aceleró la reflexión sobre los significantes con que se designaban esas nuevas entidades, cavilación que con más lentitud ya venía teniendo lugar desde finales del XVIII.

As the war against Ukraine erupted on 24 February 2022, national minorities found themselves among its first victims, both as individuals and communities characterized by unique knowledge, language, and culture. This piece looks into the immediate effects of the war on ethnic Greeks and Bulgarians, and potential lessons learned for the state of Ukraine and its minorities from these tragic events. Whereas ethnic Greeks strive for physical survival in a besieged city of Mariupol and its surroundings, ethnic Bulgarians have mobilized in support of refugees. Those situations highlight the role of minority community leaders in voicing support for the Ukrainian authorities and as facilitators of aid from kin-states, as well as turn minority civil society organizations (CSOs) into agents of change of nation-wide significance.

In the context of the 212 Islamic Defense Action, the mosque was used as the basis of the movement. In the case of the Erdogan Phenomenon, the mosque which was previously used as a means of worship for mahdhah was returned to its function as a means of worship, communication and various social interactions in order to solve various problems that occur in society. Meanwhile, in the case of the Jogokaryan mosque in Yogyakarta, the mosque provides services and empowers the various needs of the community. These three cases have an impact on changes that occur in the structure and function of society. Changes in social relationships or changes in the balance (equilibrium) of social relationships. Defending Islam 212 is identified as the basis for social change, Erdogan as the basis for political change and the Jogokaryan Mosque as the basis for economic change. Both these social, political and economic changes have the same basis, namely the mosque as a magnet of change (center of gravity).

Infertility rates increases day by day and major reason can be genetic disorders.Objective: To review the prevalence and effects of genetic defects that can cause infertility.10 to 20% of patients have severe infertility disorders. To find out whether genetic material defects are really major infertility cause or not? And what are their prevalence.. Infertility is common health condition. Genetic cause are majorly unexplained but 2300 genes expressed that can retranslate and their mutation can cause of infertility.Handfull of genes and genetic effects are associated with human genome to express genes. Mostly tests added to check male infertility annually.Methods: I analyse and evaluate 12 articles from (1997-2011) from Google scholar, PubMed etc. All data is reviewed from infertility complaints. The data is extracted from Medline, PubMed and Obsgyne online library.Results: Those studies which conducted between years 1985 to 2011 are included in review. The sample size included more than 300 men and women aged between 20 to 40 years. In this study we evaluated that genomic technologies and advent of fertility tips can help in fertile patients. Metabolic chromosomal defects can be genetic disorders by deletion of chromosomes abnormLly.SOX9 chromosome is also play basic role in men fertility. Semen collection and measurements done and proper advances can be seen through research to follow up infertile patients. Comprehensive diagnosis started to advance the research and to increase the prognostic information.Conclusions: Infertility can be caused by genomic abnormalities and chromosomal abnormalities. Molecular techniques can help to reduce the abnormalities. In reality we are unable to establish genotype phenotype relationship and various testicular pattern to see infertile men.

High heeled shoes align the foot in planter flexion, modifying the relative orientation of the skeletal structures of ankle, metatarsal, and metatarsophalangeal joints, and alter the insertion angles of the foot and gliding joint muscles, therefore increasing the risk factor for ankle sprain. Objective: Study conducted to determine Risk Factors Causing Ankle Sprain among undergraduate female students. Methods: Cross-Sectional study was conducted among 500 female students (Between ages 18-26 years) at Sargodha Medical College and completed in 06 months (June 2019-December 2019). Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used to collect data and then entered to SPSS-25 for further statistical analysis. Result: Among 500 participants, Age 19.65±1.416 years. Mean height (m) 1.61±0.073, mean weight (kg) 57.37±10.4, Mean BMI was 22.02±3.6. Female experience ankle sprain (54%), not experienced ankle sprain (46%) Significant association found between Ankle Sprain and body mass index (BMI) as the P value was 0.014 which was <0.05. Female wearing high heel have 1.082 times greater chance of developing ankle sprain (OR 1.082). Female wearing high heel for long duration (4-6 hrs.) have 1.271 times greater chance of developing ankle sprain (OR 1.271), female wearing high heel (3-4 inches) have 1.072 times greater chance of developing ankle sprain (OR 1.072), female using Pencil heel have 1.281 times greater chance of developing ankle sprain (OR 1.281). Conclusion: Significant association found between Ankle Sprain and body mass index (BMI). Female wearing, high heel for long duration (4-6 hrs.), high heel (3-4 inches height), using Pencil heel have greater chance of developing ankle sprain.

Oral illness is a public health concern due to its high prevalence and huge societal effect. Objectives: Oral hygiene knowledge and practise, as well as oral hygiene's association to socio-demographic variables, will be assessed among patients who visit the hospital's general outpatient department. Material and methods: The results of this cross-sectional study were presented at Azra Naheed Medical College from July 2021 to December 2021. Participants in the research had to be over the age of 12 and able to verbally agree, comprehend and complete questions. Those with diabetes who refused to participate in the research were omitted from the results. Results: The data was acquired from 112 patients who visited the outpatient section of the hospital. 33.23 x 10.98 = the average age of individuals who answered the survey (mean x standard deviation). There was a statistically significant difference (P 0.05) in the brushing behaviours of females and males when it came to oral health knowledge and behaviour. Conclusion: To summarise, dental caries was found to be common among patients and that awareness of dental caries among the general population was a major predictor of dental caries among those who participated, as well as educational attainment and oral hygiene habits and residency and monthly income.

Osteoarthritis is a multifactorial disease characterized by the degeneration of articulating synovial joints. Osteoarthritis is more prevalent in women. It caused by ageing, pathophysiological situations, ecological factors, hormonal, environmental, and genetic factors. Epigenetic is “in addition to genetics. Epigenetic mechanisms such as histone modifications, DNA methylation and non-coding RNA are important parameters in controlling quantity, location and timing of gene expression. The treatment available is only painkillers and anti-inflammatory. In this review, we discuss how these epigenetic mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis and find possible therapeutic targets in the prevention of disease. Epigenetic mechanisms regulate gene expression either by disturbing gene transcription or by acting post-transcription. In mammals DNA methylation is occur at Cp G dinucleotides at the outside of CpG.  However cytosine is specifically methylated to 5-methylcytosine, later it can be transformed to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine that plays a role in epigenetics. DNA methylation is mediated by DNA methyl-transferases (DNMT1,-3a, -3b). DNA methylation occur at CpGdinucleotides that clustered close to gene promoters and caused suppression of genes expression. Methylation modifications on promoter regions of these genes (MMP3, MMP9, MMP13 and ADAMTS-4) have been reported. In the promoter site of such enzymes the entire proportion of non-methylated sites in OA cartilage is increased. Histone modifications modify the chromatin assembly. Histone modifications include acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation and ubiquitination. Histone acetylation and deacetylation play a role in the pathophysiology of OA by disturbing chondrocyte anabolic and catabolic processes. Histone acetylation is modulated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and deacetylation by histone deacetylases. HDACs (HDAC1, HDAC2, and HDAC7) increase cartilage demolition. microRNAs (miRNAs) are single stranded RNA. miRNAs involved in the pathogenesis of OA. After binding to target sequence, miRNAs silence genes either by cleavage of their respective target mRNA or by preventing gene translation. Many miRNA (miR-140, miR-9 etc) and some other RNAs such as piRNAs, snoRNAs and lncRNAs have role in OA progression. The deletion of a single miRNA, miR-140, has a clear developmental phenotype with an early onset OA. To date, epigenetic functions of lncRNAs in response to inflammation and in potentially regulating chondrocyte homeostasis are completely unknown.
