Green Nano-catalysts and importance of green reactions in Industry: A Review
Authors: Shaikh Siddiqua
Published: August 2022

A Catalysis is a strategic field of science because it involves new ways of meeting energy and sustainability challenges. In the field of green chemistry, there has been a rapid increase in the use of green Nano-catalysts as well as green conditions during the catalysis of industrially relevant reactions. With the aim to avoid the use of toxic reagent, toxic volatile organic solvents, hazardous or harsh reaction conditions as well as challenging and over time-consuming wasteful separations, greener and environmentally benign catalytic protocols have recently become most popular. For the composition of green Nano catalysts is to synthesizing the Nano catalysts by using green solvents or processing the nanocatalysts so that they are finally diffuse in green solvents. The Nano-sized particles increase the exposed surface area of the highly active component of the catalyst, thereby increasing the contact between reactants and catalyst dramatically and imitate the homogeneous catalysts, Green Nano catalysis generally refers to doing the catalytic reaction in the green solvents and preferably by the use of green nanocatalysts for these reactions. This chapter is focus on green nanocatalysts as well as industrially important green reactions.

Here, we report a rare case of pulmonary mucormycosis in a 29-year-old patient with an acute myeloid leukemia. PCR sequencing allowed the identification Rhizomucor miehei species in a bronchial biopsy. The patient died at home following disease progression after 6 months of antifungal therapy with amphotericin B.
Ekstrakt z korzenia prawoślazu lekarskiego i miód: łagodzenie kaszlu poprzez ochronę błony śluzowej
Authors: Mueck Tobias
Published: August 2022

W badaniu eksperymentalnym badano właściwości bioadhezyjne syropów na kaszel zawierających częściowe frakcje ekstraktów roślinnych z dodatkiem miodu bądź bez dodatku miodu. Autorzy tego badania stwierdzili, że dodanie miodu przedłużało czas utrzymywania się właściwości adhezyjnych na błonie śluzowej w modelu, tym samym zwiększając zakres uśmierzenia podrażnienia pod względem fizycznym i chemicznym. Jako dodatkowe działanie uśmierzające badane syropy zmniejszały również przepuszczalność błony śluzowej względem szkodliwych substancji i również w tym przypadku dodatek miodu miał wpływ na działanie ogólne.
Farmakokinetyka ibuprofenu: porównanie stałego skojarzenia ibuprofenu plus kofeiny z lizynianem ibuprofenu i kwasem ibuprofenowym
Authors: Weiser Thomas
Published: August 2022

Leki przeciwbólowe zawierające łatwo rozpuszczalny ibuprofen (np. w postaci lizynianu) zostały opracowane w celu uzyskania szybszego uśmierzenia bólu niż w przypadku kwasu ibuprofenowego poprzez szybsze wchłanianie w przewodzie pokarmowym. Ponieważ stopień wypełnienia żołądka może mieć istotny wpływ na wchłanianie, w dwóch badaniach badano farmakokinetykę lizynianu ibuprofenu i kwasu ibuprofenowego (w skojarzeniu z kofeiną) w warunkach na czczo i po spożyciu standardowego śniadania. Wchłanianie ibuprofenu w postaci lizynianu było szybsze tylko po przyjęciu na czczo, po spożyciu standardowego śniadania czas do osiągnięcia maksymalnego stężenia w osoczu kwasu ibuprofenowego (w skojarzeniu z kofeiną) był krótszy niż w przypadku lizynianu ibuprofenu. Ponieważ leków przeciwbólowych zwykle nie przyjmuje się na czczo, zmniejsza to rzekome korzyści wynikające ze stosowania lizynianu ibuprofenu.

Authors: Weiser Thomas
Published: August 2022

W leczeniu bólu oczekuje się szybkiej i skutecznej ulgi. W badaniu prowadzonym metodą podwójnie ślepej próby z grupą kontrolną placebo badano skuteczność, bezpieczeństwo stosowania i tolerancję lizynianu ibuprofenu, kwasu ibuprofenowego i placebo w leczeniu ostrego bólu po ekstrakcji zęba mądrości. Lizynian ibuprofenu i kwas ibuprofenowy były dobrze tolerowane w podobnym stopniu w zakresie uśmierzania bólu przez sześć godzin. Jednak mimo oczekiwań, początek działania lizynianu ibuprofenu nie występował znacząco szybciej niż początek działania kwasu ibuprofenowego.

The arithmetic dilemma when defining thinness, overweight and obesity in stunted populations
Authors: Hermanussen Michael , Novine Masiar , Scheffler Christiane , Groth Detlef
Published: August 2022

Background: Critical cut-off values of BMI-for-age z-scores (BAZ) are used to define “thinness”, “overweight” and “obesity”, but the validity of these cut-off values needs to be questioned in populations that are shorter or taller than the reference. We hypothesized that the prevalence of thinness, overweight, and obesity depends on population height and performed a random simulation.

Methods: We created virtual child populations aged 2-10 years with normally distributed height expressed as height-for-age z-scores (HAZ) and weight expressed as weight-for-age z-score (WAZ), based on WHO growth standards and references, with a correlation r=0.7 between height and weight. We adjusted weight-for-height and calculated BAZ.

Results: BAZ depends on height and age. In short children (mean HAZ=-2 to HAZ=-3), the prevalence of thinness falls to less than 1% in the youngest and rises up to 10% (mean HAZ=-2) and up to 13% (mean HAZ=-3) at age 10 years. The prevalence of obesity rises to up to 7% in the shortest and youngest and falls close to zero at age 10. Short young children and tall older children are more prone to be misclassified as overweight.

Conclusions: The prevalence of thinness, overweight and obesity depends on height and age. The coexistence of being short and being overweight – currently referred to as “double burden of malnutrition” – needs consideration as to what extent this condition is a health issue or reflects calculation artefacts. The arithmetic dilemma particularly affects young children in short populations. We suggest abstaining from defining “thinness”, “overweight”, or “obesity” by BMI z-scores. Different states of under- and malnutrition should rather be classified by direct or indirect measures of body fat.

Published: August 2022

In teaching and learning today, technology plays an important role in the process. Teachers and students depend a lot on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to teach and learn, especially since the Covid-19 pandemic happens all over the world. Nowadays, it is becoming more adamant for teachers to use technology in order to teach subject matters and at the same time they have to rely on it to develop the students’ 21st century skills. Therefore, it is crucial for teachers to identify their TPACK level not only in teaching their subject matters, but also in teaching 21st century skills. A quantitative study was conducted to investigate secondary school English language teachers’ TPACK in teaching 21st century skills in Selangor, Malaysia. This study developed an instrument to measure English language teachers’ 21st century TPACK level in teaching 21st century skills by adapting from a previous study’s instrument. The validation and reliability analyses were conducted accordingly. The validation process was conducted using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Coefficient (CVC) measures. To assess the reliability of the instrument, Cronbach’s Alpha analysis was utilised. The CVI calculations showed that the I-CVI values ranged from 0.83 to 1.00 and the same was obtained for the CVC values. The Cronbach’s Alpha value was also high, which was 0.966. The use of this instrument could help the immediate stakeholders to measure teachers’ ability in teaching 21st century skills using technology and take proper actions for improvement.

Published: August 2022

Daily routines in nurseries are among the key elements of their program. Specifically, routines are essential to the function of nurseries, while providing children with stability and a safe environment for exploration and learning experiences. However, compliance with health protocols for covid-19 has brought about significant changes in the way they operate. The aim of this study is to explore the views of 31 educators working in nurseries in Attica (Greece) with children under the age of 3, on how the restrictions they must adhere to have affected the quality of their daily routines and, by extension, the children themselves. A semi-structured interview was chosen for data collection. The results of the survey showed that the quality of the children's morning welcome, morning circle, play corners, outdoor play, outdoor walks, lending library and lunch routine, have deteriorated. In addition, educators report that children feel disorganized and unsafe to explore the environment and have limited learning experiences. Finally, the results of this study may contribute to the scientific literature on the effects of covid-19 and provide useful information for educators.

Characterization of a case of chromosome 21 SOD1 mutation in a patient with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: Discussion on the topic
Authors: Duarte Celento Thaiana , Orsini Marco , Papais Alvarenga Regina Maria , da Silva Catharino Antônio Marcos
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, Charcot’s disease, and motor neuron disease (MPD), is a progressive, neurodegenerative, and relapsing disease that affects the neurons of the anterior horn of the spinal cord and lateral funiculus. Although the gene defect and pathogenesis of familial ALS is still poorly elucidated, genetic studies point to the involvement of chromosome 21 linkage mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene in approximately 20% of familial ALS cases.

Case Report: We report the case of a 52-year-old woman, with no comorbidities. She had been diagnosed with ALS about eight years ago. She began with episodes of paresis in the right lower limb and melting of the right foot. Fasciculations and unmotivated cramps in the right calf complemented the clinical picture. The right side of the body was initially impaired, with later dissemination of paresis and amyotrophy of the trunk and left side. After a genetic test, the SOD1 genetic variant was identified. The exome analysis corroborated the diagnosis of ALS.

Conclusion: Superoxide dismutase 1 in the context of ALS represents only a fraction of the cases; however, as several neurodegenerative conditions are caused by abnormal protein folding, the study of a protein disorder with incorrect folding confers elucidation on the molecular basis of other diseases. This is important in terms of management and conduct, since the approach based on this hypothesis may favor the design of drugs that stabilize the SOD1 dimer and prevent misfolding.

Published: August 2022

Low Dropout (LDO) Voltage Regulators are the linear regulators which drives upon a very small differential voltage. The main components of the Low dropout voltage regulators are Error amplifier, Pass device, voltage reference source and Voltage divider network. The low dropout voltage regulator uses a variable input to give a steady, constantly controlled, low-noise DC output voltage. This is a linear voltage regulator that includes a small voltage drop among the input as well as the output that works even when the output voltage is extremely close to the input voltage. The Error amplifier circuit which is one of the components in Low dropout voltage regulator is designed in the standard 180nm CMOS technology, with supply voltage of 1.6V, the gain of the error amplifier is 74db, Band-gap reference circuit is implemented to produce stable reference voltage which is independent of temperature variations. The bandgap reference voltage circuit gives the output voltage of 1.2V. The low dropout voltage regulator produces constant output voltage of 1.8V for the input voltage range 2.1V to 3.5V and it provides constant output voltage for load variations.

Published: August 2022

Acne vulgaris is a skin condition characterized by an obstruction or inflammation of the oil glands, present on skin's surface, which are collectively termed as pilosebaceous units. The skin on face, back, and upper chest have a greater number of sebaceous follicles. Topical, systemic, or combination therapy can be used to treat acne, while mild and moderate acne are generally treated with topical therapy. Topical acne therapy has direct access to the target site (skin) prior to reaching the blood stream, thereby reducing the systemic adverse effects of delivery of drug via parenteral or oral routes. Oral antibiotics, on the other hand, are a crucial treatment for acne which have not improved with topical treatment and for inflammatory lesions, such as pustules, nodules, and papules. Due to their capability to improve dermal therapeutics by boosting therapeutic efficacy and lowering adverse effects, nanodelivery technologies, developed to address skin delivery difficulties, have been extensively investigated. The goal of this study is to go through the many types of pharmacological dosage forms that are available for the treatment of acne.

Authors: Robert Allen , Mohan Aswanth , Anusudha R. S.
Published: August 2022

Climate change and its consequences are one of the biggest concerns facing humanity. Although many people are climate-conscious and are working toward a sustainable future, the situation is ever-worsening. This is mainly because of the rich and powerful industrialists who seem to operate above any climate responsibility. Such industries are the biggest sources of carbon emissions, and they ignore climate concerns in favour of economic profits. Ordinary citizens are powerless in stopping the damages done to the environment by such organisations, therefore policymakers must enact and enforce policies that regulate and limit climate change. This paper examines the current climate situation with the help of Working Group I: Summary for Policymakers published by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the role of policymakers in climate action through an analysis of the Netflix series Ragnarok.
Optimistic nihilism in thus Spoke Zarathustra and Rick and Morty
Authors: Shaji Anand , Nair Beena S.
Published: August 2022

The question of existence is the latest dilemma plaguing human psyche in the 21st century. Nietzsche advocates against nihilism through the mouthpiece of Zarathustra and traces the need of surpassing naive thinking. Rick and Morty, a comic dealing with cosmic travels and scientific rupture of logic and ethics, explores the possible interpretations of the great meaning of life or the lack of it. Both texts stimulate the intellectual tendency to relate joy with the divine and post it against science. Different dichotomies of joy and sadness spin around in the helix of the comic and the adventures of Zarathustra. Kurzgesagt, a German-made animation and design studio founded by Philipp Dettmer, illustrates an outlook that can emulate joy or contentment in a universe devoid of meaning or purpose. Their ‘optimistic nihilism’ can synergise the crown of existentialism and reality of nihilism.
review on development of wet latent fingerprints by small particle reagent
Authors: Singh Tanu Shree
Published: August 2022

Small particle reagent technique is a method which is used to develop fingermarks on moist and smooth surfaces. It consist the theory of adherence of fine particles which is suspended in a treating solution to the oily or fatty components (water insoluble) present in in latent fingermark residue and gives a grey colored deposit. It is also considered as belonging to the family of powder dusting. The effectiveness of this technique can be increased by using fluorescent dyes in it's treating solution which can also detect faint fingermarks on multi-colored surfaces. Small particle reagent involves the use of synthetic detergent which was here replaced by saponin extracted from the fruit of Sapindus mukorossi as natural detergent.  The other ingredient used in the formulation is black charcoal powder. This composition develops sharp and clear fingermarks on non-adsorbent surfaces like glass, metal sheet, plastic, laminated wood, ceramic tiles and compact discs after these were immersed in water for variable periods of time. The ability of the present formulation to detect weak chance prints not only enhances its utility, but also its potentiality in forensic investigations. The raw materials used to prepare the SPR are easily available and cost-effective.

Industry-specific Patterns in the Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest in Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery: A Review of the Nerve Allograft Industry
Authors: Cheng Christopher , Chepla Kyle , Lee Adrienne , Bafus Blaine Todd
Published: August 2022

Introduction:

Industry funding in medicine enhances physician training but can create bias influencing accurate reporting of outcomes. High rates of conflict of interest (COI) disclosure have been found in orthopaedic surgery. However, industry-specific disclosures have not been investigated and small-value compensations previously excluded. Using the nerve allograft industry as a proxy to examine specific patterns of COI between physicians and industries relevant to their publications, we sought to evaluate patterns in industry-specific COI disclosure within the hand and upper extremity surgery literature.

Methods:

Literature search for primary studies using nerve allografts in the hand and upper extremity from 2013 to 2021 was conducted. Authors were cross-referenced with their publication's COI statement and payments recorded in the Open Payments Database (OPD). Only payments relevant to the topic or product presented in the publication were included. Payments in all OPD subdivisions were compared.

Results:

Fourteen studies with 14 first, 72 middle, and 14 senior authors were included. Disclosed and undisclosed payments totaled $2,848,196 and $2,509,397. Only 28% of the authors had completely accurate COI statements. Research and food and beverage comprised the highest and lowest average rates of accurate disclosure (93.8% and 24.9%). The value of accurately disclosed payments was significantly greater on a per-author basis among senior authors (P < 0.001). Neither the value of undisclosed payments nor the rate of accurate disclosure differed by authorship position (P = 0.904 and P = 0.350).

Discussion:

When examined in the context of industries specific to publication, the rate of correct COI disclosure is lower than previously reported with small-value compensation a major contributor. Areas of improvement include the following: (1) All authors should be held accountable for correct disclosure; (2) all forms of financial support should be reported; and (3) journals should independently verify disclosures to the OPD. OPD utilization may help verify correct reporting, especially when the industry is related to the area of study, in the interest of maintaining the highest editorial integrity.

Published: August 2022

La presente investigación se propone definir la intensidad, la frecuencia y la duración de la actividad física que practican los encuestados para determinar posibles repercusiones sobre la salud integral, a mediano y largo plazo. Con esta finalidad se realiza una investigación de enfoque cuantitativo y diseño no experimental, transeccional. Con una muestra mixta (probabilística y no probabilística), integrada por n=303 participantes, mayores de 18 años, seleccionada por conveniencia. El instrumento aplicado es el “Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física” (International Physical Activity Questionnaire = IPAQ), versión corta, compuesto por 7 preguntas, precedidas por 3 preguntas sobre la composición sociodemográfica de los participantes. Entre los principales resultados se destaca que el 74,9% de los encuestados son docentes y el 16,8% administrativos; que el 35% no ha practicado actividad física intensa o moderada; y que el 83,9% ha permanecido sentado de 4 a más de 10 horas diarias (24,1%, entre 4 y 6 horas; 22,8%, entre 7 y 8 horas; 19,5%, entre 9 y 10 horas; y 17,5% más de 10 horas). Como conclusión se podría establecer una probable relación entre confinamiento y disminución de la actividad física; y entre confinamiento y el número de horas que han permanecido sentados los encuestados. Además, se podrían presumir algunas repercusiones, a mediano y largo, sobre la salud integral de los participantes (y de todos los que se ajusten a las características del estudio), derivadas de la inactividad física y de la prolongada cantidad de tiempo que permanecen sentados.

Caribou Hunting in Alpine West Greenland. An Archaeological Investigation
Authors: Neubeck Volker , Pasda Clemens
Published: August 2022

In 2014–2015 surveys have been made in the mountain range north of Kangerluarsunnguup Tasersua, a large inland lake south of Nuuk (West Greenland). As evidence of Paleo-Inuit and Norse is scarce, no detailed information can be given on caribou hunting during these time periods. In contrast, 88 sites connected with caribou hunting in Late Thule (c. AD 1600-1700) and the Colonial time period (c. AD 1700-1950) have been registered. These sites indicate three distinct alpine hunting grounds. Every hunting ground was used by small, mobile groups of hunting companions, only one also by small, related households who stayed at one spot for a longer time period. Households and hunters preferred to sleep at medium height to hunt caribou here as well as in the highest areas. Caribou hunting with the help of drive lanes was done rarely. In contrast, the main hunting method was using single or few stone-built shooting coverts which are situated in small, natural bottlenecks.
Militärorganisation und Sozialorganisation
Authors: Jung Matthias
Published: August 2022

Die in der Prähistorischen Archäologie weithin rezipierten neoevolutionistischen Modelle der Entwicklung von Gesellschaften legen eine Koevolution und damit eine weitgehende Gestaltgleichheit von Militär- und Gesellschaftsorganisation nahe. Wenn es also möglich wäre, aus dem archäologischen Befund heraus die Militärorganisation und Kriegführung einer Gruppe zu rekonstruieren, dann, so die Annahme, wären damit zugleich auch wichtige Informationen bezüglich ihrer Sozial- und Herrschaftsorganisation gewonnen. Wie sich mit Rekurs auf differenzierungstheoretische Argumentationsfiguren, welche die blinden Flecke der Modelle des Neoevolutionismus erhellen, zeigen lässt, ist dieser Optimismus unangebracht.
Mobile Pastoralists in Archaic Southern Italy?
Authors: Heitz Christian
Published: August 2022

This paper seeks to discuss and identify indications for mobile pastoralism in Archaic southern Italy. Because of the perishable and seasonal nature of the material remains and therefore the difficulty of finding direct archaeological evidence for this kind of economy, indirect factors like social organization and social structure derived from cross-cultural ethnological comparisons are taken into account. Instead of solely focusing on the detection of material traces in the shape of objects, the paper tries to identify broadly shared social patterns typical for mobile pastoralism that is not only a special economy but also a way of life, demanding certain structures up into the most basic levels of societal organization. Based on a consideration of different historical and ethnologically observed pastoralist communities, it aims to identify a set of typical features shared by different kinds of mobile pastoralism. These observations will then be compared to the findings of a regional case study from Archaic southern Italy, looking for their possible traces in the archaeological record. Finally, further research prospects are discussed and possibilities for future investigations are highlighted, calling for an augmented attention to the topic in local projects as well as interdisciplinary research.
Social Construction and the Invisible Gender Roles in Talensi House Construction
Authors: Eyifa-Dzidzienyo Gertrude Aba Mansah
Published: August 2022

»Women do not build«, is a Talensi saying that is known to the young and the old of both sexes. Is there any truth in this saying? Or can a building be constructed by men only? Gender is a basic structuring principle for Talensi activities including house construction. However, some gendered roles are socially more visible and acknowledged than others. Gender is used here to refer to the socially, culturally, psychologically and historically constructed identities that the Talensi perceive as male and female. The society has accordingly defined roles for men and women in house construction. This paper examines gender perspectives among the Talensi of Tengzug in indigenous house construction. Who does what on the basis of biological, cultural, social and historical experiences? The methods used in gathering data included interviewing a cross section of people of both sexes, differing ages and social status. Ethnographic data was collected by personal observation and participation in gendered activities. The research found adequate evidence to show that both sexes and gender groups contribute substantially to house construction. Men are responsible for the erection of building structures and roofing while women do the plastering and flooring. It also shows that the invisibility of women in Talensi indigenous house construction is set and guided by local cultural norms and practices that are underpinned by a patrilineal system of inheritance. A critical examination of the total building experiences of the Talensi society shows that women do build.

Cross-Border Assets Holdings, Equity Securities, and Debt Securities between Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD)
Authors: Khayat Sahar Hassan
Published: August 2022

This paper investigates the trends of asset holdings across borders to GCC financial markets through panel data and compares the findings with those acquired for the OECD countries. A gravity panel data model was set on bilateral gross cross-border investment flows between GCC countries and host OECD countries between 2002 and 2019. Three dependent variables were used; aggregate equity securities and debt securities, equity securities, and debt securities. Data were obtained from the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey (CIPS) and converted into real terms using the GDP deflator. The World Bank (2014) World Development Indicators Database (WDI) provided data for GDP deflators. The results indicate that the source economies' bilateral trade, GDP per capita, and population are always positive and significant determinants of cross-border linkages. Geographical proximity (Distance) is found to exert a significant positive influence on assets so that investors may seek to diversify their portfolios and prefer to invest outside their region.
The Art of the Apology
Authors: Baum Neil , Merlin Alvin
Published: August 2022

I’m sorry is one of the most-used phrases in any language. Most of us don’t think twice about offering an apology when we unintentionally bump into a stranger on the sidewalk. However, when we have made a medical mistake, which most of us have in our medical careers, apologies seem to get stuck in our throats and become difficult or impossible to articulate.
