Authors: Samadi Rogaieh , Dinpashoh Yagob , Fakheri-Fard Ahmad
Published: November 2022

In this research, the seasonality of precipitation in the Urmia Lake basin (ULB) was analyzed using the daily precipitation data of 30 rain-gauge stations in the period 1991–2018. The occurrence time of extreme precipitation (OTEP) was determined by using circular statistics. In each station, the OTEP position in each year was marked on unit circle perimeter. The uniformity of OTEP was examined by Rayleigh test (RT) and Kuiper test (KT). The slope of the trend lines for the OTEP were estimated using the modified Sen’s estimator. Trends in the OTEP were analyzed by the non-parametric Mann-Kendall test. The results indicated no uniformity in the OTEP at 0.1, 0.05, and 0.01 levels in the basin. Seasonal events throughout the year were divided into two separate seasons denoted by S1 for late winter and early spring and S2 for autumn. The results showed that the mean seasonality increased from 0.3 to 0.82 (for S1) and 0.9 for S2. The comparison of seasonal strength in west and east parts of Urmia Lake revealed that these two parts of Urmia Lake had same seasonality strength (SS) in the S1. However, seasonality the western part of the lake was stronger than the eastern part in S2. Trends in OTEP showed that about 60% of the stations witnessed upward trends in S1. This was about 27% in S2. It can be concluded that there are two distinct seasons in OTEP in the ULB.

Published: November 2022

This study investigates the effects of soybean meal fermented by Enterococcus faecium as a replacement for soybean meal on growth performance, apparent total tract digestibility, blood profile and gut microbiota of weaned pigs. Eighty piglets (weaned at 21 days) [(Landrace x Yorkshire) x Duroc] with average body weight of 6.52 ± 0.59 kg) were selected and assigned to 4 treatments / 4 replicate pens (3 barrows and 2 gilts). The four diets (SBM, 3%, 6% and 9% FSBM) were formulated using fermented soybean meal to replace 0%, 3%, 6% and 9% of soybean meal, respectively. The trial lasted for 42 days phase 1, 2 or 3. Result showed that supplemental FSBM increased (P < 0.05) the body weight gain (BWG) for piglets at day 7, 21 and 42 and ADG at days 1–7, 8–21, 22–42 and 1–42, and ADFI at days 8–21,22–42 and 1–42 and G: F at days 1–7, 8–21 and 1–42, and crude protein, dry matter, and energy digestibility at day 42, and the lowered (P < 0.05) diarrhea at days 1–21 and 22–42. The concentration of glucose levels, WBC, RBC and lymphocytes were increased while, concentration of BUN level in the serum was lowered in the FSBM treatment compared to the SBM group (P < 0.05). Microbiota sequencing found that FSBM supplementation increased the microbial Shannon, Simpsons and Chao indexs, (P < 0.05) and the abundances of the phylam Firmicutes, and genera prevotella, Lactobacillus, Lachnospiraceae and Lachnoclostridium (P < 0.05), lower in the abundances of the phylam bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, genera Escherichia-Shigella, Clostridium sensu stricto1, Bacteroides and Parabacteroides (P < 0.05). Overall, FSBM replacing SBM improved the growth performance, apparent total tract digestibility, and blood profiles; perhaps via altering the faecal microbiota and its metabolites in weaned pigs. The present study provides theoretical support for applying FSBM at 6 to 9% promote immune characteristics and regulate intestinal health in weaning piglets.

Global Profiling of Antibiotic Resistomes in Maize Rhizospheres
Authors: Pham Dung Ngoc , Wu Qiong , Li Mengyan
Published: November 2022

The spreading of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in crops and food products represents a global concern. In this study, we conducted a survey of resistomes in maize rhizosphere from Michigan, California, the Netherland, and South Africa, and investigated potential associations with host bacteria and soil management practices in the crop field. For comparison, relative abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is normalized to the size of individual metagenomes. Michigan maize rhizosphere metagenomes showed the highest abundance and diversity of ARGs, with the detection ofblaTEM-116,blaACT-4/-6, andFosA2, exhibiting high similarity (≥ 99.0%) to those in animal and human pathogens. This was probably related to the decade-long application of manure/composted manure from antibiotic-treated animals. Moreover,RbpA,vanRO,mtrA, anddfrBwere prevalently found across most studied regions, implying their intrinsic origins. Further analysis revealed thatRbpA,vanRO, andmtrAare mainly harbored by native Actinobacteria with low mobility, while a group ofdfrBgenes are adjacent to the recombination binding sites (attC), which together constitute mobile gene cassettes, promoting the transmission from soil bacteria to human pathogens. These results suggest that maize rhizosphere resistomes can be distinctive and affected by many factors, particularly those relevant to agricultural practices.

Authors: Bucak İbrahim Hakan , Tanrıverdi Huseyin , Kilic Fedli Emre
Published: November 2022

Objective
Climatic changes are known to affect CO intoxications. The purpose of this study was to examine childhood CO intoxications with the Beaufort wind scale (BWS) classification of wind speeds.
Methods
The demographic data (age and sex) and information concerning the hour, day, and month of presentation to the emergency department for cases diagnosed with CO intoxication over a seven-year period between 2015 and 2021 in the pediatric emergency department of a tertiary training and research hospital in a rural area were examined. Wind speeds (m/sec) measured on the days of presentation to the emergency department were recorded. The wind category on the BWS on the day of intoxication was then determined.
Results
Four hundred twenty-two patients, with a mean age of 95.12 ± 59.4 (1-215) months, 218 (51.7%) girls and 204 (48.3%) boys were diagnosed with CO intoxication over the seven-year study period. A comparison of wind speeds on the days of presentation to hospital revealed a significantly higher wind speed in 2020 than in the other years (p < 0.001). A comparison of the groups in terms of the BWS revealed a significant difference between the years of presentation to hospital (p:0.001).
Conclusions
This is the first study to investigate CO intoxications in the pediatric emergency department with the BWS. A significant association was observed between wind speed based on the BWS and childhood CO intoxications. Further studies evaluating wind in the rural setting and CO intoxications are now needed for protection against such intoxications.

Published: November 2022

The focus of this article is to obtain the effect of the shape factor of the hybrid nanoparticles on the convective heat and mass transference of two immiscible fluids in an inclined duct. Nanoparticle such as Carbon Nanotube & Sodium alginate is considered with Silicon oil as the base fluid. By considering the heat and mass phenomena, viscous dissipation, Darcy and Thermal diffusion the governing equations are formed. The physical flow model is then modelled into a set of differential equations, which are then reduced to the dimensionless form and the regular perturbation technique is employed to obtain the solution for velocity, temperature and concentration. The effects of various material parameters are analyzed using graphical and tabular forms. From the results, it is noticed that the lamina shape hybrid nanoparticle has a higher heat transfer rate compared to others and the significance of the soret number can be seen in velocity and concentration distributions.
Development and Validation of Scales assessing Perceived Benefits and Perceived Barriers to Physical Activity in High School Students in South Korea
Authors: Kim Gyurin , Lee Chung Gun
Published: November 2022

Background
Many health-related studies have examined cognitive factors of physical activity, including development scale studies, but little is known about the perceived positive effects and perceived negative factors of physical activity in Korean adolescents. This study aimed to develop scales assessing perceived benefits and perceived barriers to physical activity in high school students in South Korea.
Methods
Participants were 300 high school students aged 17–18 (183 males and 117 females). The preliminary survey used an open-ended questionnaire to assess the physical activity determinants of Korean high school students. Items of the existing scales were modified or removed considering the result from the preliminary survey. In the main study, we conducted a closed-ended questionnaire including 10 perceived benefit items and 11 perceived barrier items.
Results
Our results indicate that higher perceived benefits were associated with the higher participation levels in students' physical activity. The higher perceived barriers, however, the lower participation levels. No difference in perceived benefits to the physical activity engagement between genders (t = 1.450), while there were significant gender differences (t = − 2.989) in perceived barriers. We found that female students considered perceived barriers to physical activity greater than male students. For Perceived Benefits Scale, 10 items were loaded on one factor, which could explain 67.56% of the variance. The two-factor solution was loaded on 11 items Perceived Barrier Scale; 5 items of the first factor were loaded on the 'emotional factor' (46.89%), and 6 items of the second factor were loaded on the 'physical factor' (12.58%).
Conclusion
This study can serve as a beginning point to rethink the importance of considering cognitive factors of physical activity as well as to provide insight into developing adolescent health promotion plans and policies that are more effective and appropriate for Korean adolescents. Further research is needed on various measurements, including subjective and objective methods, using a larger sample of Korean adolescents.
Design and Investigation of Angularly Stable Controllable, Tunable Multiband Absorbers in THz regime
Authors: Partibane Bactavatchalame
Published: November 2022

This article presents two terahertz absorbers with Controllable and Tunable multibands using miniaturized metamaterial unit cells. The first absorber consists of a five open-ended rectangular strips-based resonator. The simulation results show that the structure has five distinct absorption peaks between 0.1THz to 2THz, each with absorption of over 90% Moreover; this design gives considerable freedom for shifting the frequencies of the absorber by varying the rectangle strip lengths. The effect of the horizontal spacing of rectangles on the positioning of the individual band is analyzed. The second THz absorber functionality is improved by including a tuning mechanism. It uses a convoluted meandered line design at the top to achieve five band resonances between 0.1THz and 5THz. To enhance the bandwidth coverage, the lower four bands are made tunable by using graphene material at the spacings of the patch. The absorption peaks were raised above 95% on all the operating bands which makes it a perfect candidate to be used for highly sensitive security and medical applications

Published: November 2022

Background
Understanding context-specific determinants of antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence is crucial for developing tailored interventions for improving health outcomes and achieving the UNAIDS’ third 95% target. This cross-sectional study explores factors associated with ART adherence among stable people living with HIV on ART in Cambodia.
Methods
We used baseline cross-sectional survey data from a quasi-experimental study conducted in 2021. The participants were recruited from 20 ART clinics in nine provinces for face-to-face interviews. A structured questionnaire collected information on sociodemographic characteristics, ART adherence, perceived ART self-efficacy, mental health, quality of life, stigma, and discrimination. We conducted a multiple logistic regression analysis using a backward stepwise method.
Results
Out of the 4101 participants, 86.5% reported being adhered to ART. After adjusting for other variables in the multiple logistic regression model, the odds of non-adherence to ART were significantly higher among participants who were aged 15–29 years (AOR 1.74, 95% CI 1.28–2.35), had elevated cholesterol (AOR 1.61, 95% CI 1.16, 2.23), exhibited poor self-efficacy in health responsibility to maintain life (AOR 1.83, 95% CI 1.51–2.22), experienced higher discrimination (AOR 1.87, 95% CI 1.38–2.54) and internal stigma (AOR 1.39, 95% CI 1.14–1.70), and scored lower than 42 in the mental component of the quality-of-life scale (AOR 1.60, 95% CI 1.28–1.99) than their reference groups. The odds of non-adherence to ART were significantly lower among participants who earned ≤100 USD per month than those who earned > 300 USD per month (AOR 0.49, 95% CI 0.37–0.66).
Conclusion
The ART adherence rate found in this study is consistent with previous studies in Cambodia. The results suggest the need for public education to reduce stigma and discrimination and strategies to improve the self-efficacy and mental health of people living with HIV. Additional efforts are needed to promote adherence among adolescents and young adults.

Published: November 2022

One of the most well-known mental health disorders around the world is depression, affecting people's personal, professional, and social life. It is difficult for a person to be diagnosed with depression unless he goes to a psychiatrist. In our Arab society, it is difficult for a person in our Arab culture to believe in the idea of going to a psychiatrist due to the customs, traditions, and ideas of eastern Arab societies. Therefore, we found it essential for a depressed person to be diagnosed in an advanced period before he commits suicide. We found that social media (SM) is now considered one of the open societies in which the individual spends most of his day and writes about everything he feels. If the publications he records are tracked, through the text we can diagnose him as depressed or not. We used two models in this work, first we make a binary classification in which Machine Learning (ML) techniques are used, by using tweets to identify whether the tweet is expressed depression or not, ML techniques such as Gaussian Naive Bayes (Gaussian NB), Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest Classifier (RF), and Deep Learning (DL) use Multi-layer Perceptron classifier (MLP), LR makes the best accuracy 91%. In the second model, we used multi-classification which takes a depressing tweet from the first model and classifies it into nine classes, this was done by using DL, especially MLP networks which achieved an accuracy of 0.97.

Published: November 2022

The complexity of border studies is a reflection of the socio-political realities that exist in border areas. Most of the time border areas are synonymous with conflict and militarization. But at the same time, cooperation between various international actors in the border area is also taking place. One example is the collaboration between three actors (Government of Indonesia, Government of Malaysia, and Palm Oil Plantation Company) in the Indonesia-Malaysia border area in North Kalimantan Province-Sabah State to establish and run a Community Learning Center (CLC) program as an effort to overcome limitations of access to education for children of Indonesian migrant workers in palm oil plantations in Sabah. The existence of a Community Learning Center (CLC) is a form of alignment of interests between actors in the case of fulfilling the right to education for the children of Indonesian migrant workers in the State of Sabah. CLC as a form of cross-border cooperation is possible when the interests of the Government of Indonesia, the Government of Malaysia and palm oil plantation companies in the State of Sabah are aligned. The Indonesian government's interest is to provide education access for Indonesian citizens (WNI) residing in the State of Sabah, Malaysia. The interest of the Malaysian government is to maintain sovereignty within the regulatory authorities within its territory, in this case concerning population administration, While palm oil companies' interest is to maintain its business sustainability by abiding to the rules of both countries.

The following paper studies the nature and plausible justifications to current trade war between the US and China. The theory of hegemonic power runs through the narrative embodied in this paper and postulates that the trade war has been initiated as an instrument to counter the rise of China in the global political economy. The lineages of the trade war can be traced back to trade deficit between China and the US, rivalry for global economic dominance and the US midterm elections. This paper will unpack the nature of the trade war looking at the history of other trade wars before this one. The second part will engage international relations theory, particularly hegemonic power and status to examine the validity of the idea that the rise of China threatens the US national interests and security. The third part will reflect on the above, revisit a project Solarium that president Eisenhower formulated in 1953 to counter the soviet expansionism during the Cold War era and postulate what could be expected next through the prism of hegemonic power in global politics. This paper concludes with an empirical case for caution that just as project solarium was a long-term strategy to counter Soviet expansionism during the Cold War, the US will need a similar long term policy position to counter the Rise of China.

UNSTRUCTURED

People who inject drugs are at increased risk of Hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); unfortunately, traditional healthcare approaches have failed to adequately reach and support this population. Rates of accessing HCV and HIV treatment among individuals who inject drugs are low for a variety of reasons, including negative experiences with healthcare, suggesting a need for novel approaches to testing and healthcare delivery. In this short report we discuss challenges - as well as strategies to navigate these challenges - encountered by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, community representatives, researchers, and people with lived experience using drugs, in our efforts to co-produce a novel, community-based, peer-led, HIV/HCV testing program with options for immediate linkages to medical providers. We encountered challenges and tensions between team members with varied background in multiple aspects of the project: scoping the project, setting the pace and urgency of the work, navigating payment, defining success, and situating the project for sustainability. Strategies to navigate these challenges included: dedicated effort to building personal and meaningful connections, fostering mutual respect, identifying common ground to make shared decisions, and celebrating small successes. While co-created care presents unique challenges, we believe the resulting program is strengthened by challenging assumptions and carefully considering various perspectives to think creatively and productively about solutions.

У статті описана історія планування та будівництва психоневрологічної лікарні в Одесі, що була споруджена на пожертвування поміщиці Г.С. Панкеєвої на спомин про доньку, яка наклала на себе руки в 1906 році. Авторами наведені деякі невідомі чи неописані факти історії одеської неврології, яка, як виявилося, значно виходить за межі тільки неврології. Коротко описані події, що передували будівництву психоневрологічної лікарні, а також історичні особи, які брали участь в організації та реалізації будівництва лікарні для нервовохворих в Одесі. Такого роду історичний екскурс торкається більше ніж вікового періоду, за який відбулася безліч подій, пов’язаних із так званим Панкеєвським корпусом. Останній можна вважати найстарішою спеціалізованою неврологічною установою в Україні. На жаль, через низку причин закладений потенціал не був реалізований, незважаючи на зусилля відомих історичних осіб Одеси, архітекторів, учених психоневрологічного профілю тощо.
Politics of Legitimation
Authors: Hasanah Mahesti
Published: November 2022

This research discusses contract farming—an agreement between farmers and processing and/or marketing firms, usually agribusiness transnational companies (TNCs), under a specific arrangement that commonly includes predetermined prices for the production and supply of agricultural products—in a transnational policy context. The study is dominated by institutionalism and materialism approaches which hold that structural changes coincide with economic development. However, this approaches raises a question about the role of actors in instituting, transferring, and challenging the norms of contract farming. This research seeks to challenge the literature by focusing on how contract farming, as a dual process, constitutes a territory for its actors to claim and reclaim their authority. Drawing on the implementation of agreements between TNCs and small farmers in Davao, Mindanao, we discuss the legitimation process within a context of strong state political control and complicated global market flows. Specifically, this research aims to understand how contract farming institutes a particular type of legitimation through the influence of transnational policy. Using the organisational and institutional legitimation approaches, we understand contract farming as a fluid and openly contested distributing authority. This research uses four data collection methods: desk studies, interviews, focus group discussions, and observation.
Violent to Non-Violent Displacement
Authors: Dhian Cahyati‬ Devy
Published: November 2022

This article discusses land contestation as a factor in the creation of agrarian conflict and the marginalisation of local people. Through field research in Register 45 Mesuji, Lampung, the author explores the geographical displacement of the indigenous people and forest squatters who occupied the land since the fall of The New Order. This paper attempts to explain the strategies used by corporations to displace local people and accelerate capital accumulation. In such situations, the state functions to legitimise the process of land displacement. However, where violence is used for displacement, this indicates a failure to uphold the global norm of human rights. This article shows that the process of displacement has continued through contract farming, i.e., partnership programmes used to control the land in Register 45 and limit squatters' access. In this situation, forest squatters are used as labourers who benefit the company by easing its capital accumulation. However, squatters have rejected this mechanism, preferring to remain independent.

Improve the digitalization level of export trade industry and create a sound ecology for the development of international trade; Improve the basic services of the digital economy and expand the development space of export trade; Build a good development environment for export trade with the help of digital economy; Promote the diversification of export trade products, the diversification of main bodies, and the development of low-carbon.
Exploring Putative Factors Affective Prospective Students’ of the University for Development Students: A Case Study of the Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Consumer Sciences, Nyankpala Campus-Ghana
Authors: J. Seniwoliba, A.
Published: November 2022

The expansion of the higher education industry has caused a tremendous increase in the number and type of colleges, polytechnics and universities offering similar academic programmes in Ghana. As a consequence, the competition in the higher education industry makes it critical for education leadership and managers to deploy strategies that would influence students’ choice of a higher education institution and programme selection. The paper is an exploratory study designed to identify the important factors that influence students’ choice of university and particularly the programme. Data was collected through telephone interviews with students who were offered admissions to pursue agricultural related courses in the Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Consumer Sciences of the University for Development Studies. About 320 students were randomly selected from the 1280 students offered admission to the faculty in the 2021/20222 Academic Year. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in graphs and tables. The study found that 53.75% of the respondents declined their admission to offer Agriculture related programs because that was not their choice of programme. It further identified that most of those who declined the offer had applied for health related programmes where they were sure after completion could easily be employed. The study therefore, recommends a programme to educate prospective students on the job prospects, opportunities and benefits of pursuing agricultural related programmes. Government should also put in place measures to attract the graduate youth into Agricultural entrepreneurship.

Authors: Tanti Rajesh , Sethupathy K
Published: November 2022

The most recent change to the educational system is the integration of digital technology, particularly in light of the COVID-19 epidemic. The Indian Ministry of Education (MOE) has taken the initiative to lead initiatives to increase students' digital technology skills and potential. The major goal of this study was to determine the characteristics of principals' digital leadership that predict the level of teachers' digital teaching, as well as the level of teachers' digital teaching practises. This study involved about 400 secondary school teachers in the Dimapur District of Nagaland. The results of this study demonstrate that teachers' digital teaching practises and principals' digital leadership are both at a high level. The two do have a moderately positive link, though. Only digital citizenship was proven to be a reliable indicator of teachers' digital instruction by multiple regression. The results demonstrate that, despite the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, the capacity to create and coordinate digital leadership programmes is significant and can aid in enhancing students' academic achievement.

Today's managers are working hard to improve their performance in the face of increasing competition and obstacles. Organizational objectives can only be met if employees are engaged with their jobs. In addition, they indicated that further research is needed to determine how it affects performance. Emotional involvement in the workplace can be described as "putting one's heart and soul into one's work. The study aimed to investigate the impact of work engagement on boosting productivity at selected private businesses in Erbil. The research hypothesis was tested using a quantitative research approach. As requested by participants, the researcher withheld any identifying information from published findings, so that no one would be able to identify the firms involved. Only 97 of the 110 questionnaires provided by the researcher at private enterprises in Kurdistan were filled out and returned by the participants. The findings showed that work engagement has a positive and significant influence on boosting productivity at selected private businesses in Erbil.

Marketers spend money on a variety of media platforms in order to influence consumer purchasing choice. Every advertisement on every media platform has a unique composition that engages the customers in a different way depending on the platform. The purpose of this research is to determine five types of advertisement and its influence on consumer purchasing choice at selected retailer stores in Erbil. It is a quantitative approach that is used to analyze data that has been obtained by the researcher. The Manager has circulated the survey to consumers of retailer stores and has gathered responses from those customers. When conducting the current study, the researcher employed a questionnaire in order to gather information. In the first segment, demographic questions were asked, beginning with the customer's gender and marital status and progressing to other inquiries. The second section had questions about the company's products and services. The second part of questionnaire was regarding five types of advertisement as independent factors and consumer purchasing choice at selected retailer stores in Erbil. When it comes to the sampling process, it will be a random sampling method, which means that almost all consumers at retailer stores in Erbil will have equal odds of being picked for the findings revealed that all five advertisements will have positive and significant influence on consumer purchasing choice at selected retailer stores, however, it was found that online advertising is the most effective and efficient among all five advertisements to bring consumer attentions while making decision in selecting certain brand or a product at their daily, weekly and monthly shopping at retailer stores in Erbil. The study recommended that management of firms in retail stores should consider it a requirement to adequately market their products, since doing so will provide them a competitive advantage over their competitors.

Abstract: While airlines (the sellers) always work to increase their revenue by changing pricing for the same service, air travellers (the buyers) frequently search for the ideal time of year to buy flights in order to save as much money as possible. The choice to raise or lower tickets at various points leading up to departure dates can be made by the sellers based on all the relevant data, such as historical sales, market demand, consumer profile, and behaviour. The buyers, on the other hand, have limited access to data to help them decide whether to delay or make a quick flight purchase. In this study, we suggest a new model that might assist the purchaser in anticipating price movements even in the absence of official airlines. Our results showed that the suggested model, despite lacking several essential components, such as the number of unsold seats on flights, can forecast trends as well as actual changes in airfare up to the departure dates using public airfare data that is readily available online. We also determined the characteristics that have the biggest effects on changes in airfare.

Abstract: Food loss or food waste is the food that is not eaten by the consumer. In addition to that bring down food waste in all role of the food organization is an main part of decreasing the environmental conditions of agriculture, by bring down the whole quantity of water, land and other external resources needed to provide the global group. Decreasing the food waste is the major part of global as it makes the food out of dumping ground. It makes profitable sight at the small scale, by reducing household food bills and at the large scale by decreasing throwing away costs for restaurants. By properly analyzed manage the food waste makes our world to economically and environmentally healthy and make the resources available for the future generations. Everyday many students in the college wasting lots of foods. So we take an initiative to develop a web application for all over world used to keep track and analyze the food waste and to take a better decision by knowing what went wrong and to take the essential steps to avoid the food wastage. We planned our web application to have a login form and registration form. The dashboard has a add food form and remove food form and for wastage entries we have food waste entry form, food waste entry form and food item waste entry form. Our web application provides the user to generate analyzed data in table and chart format. The extra food recipe can be collected by the nearest Orphanages who actually requested for the food and the food waste were given to the agricultural land for fertilization.

Authors: Martins Fabricio , Lapa Tomás de Albuquerque
Published: November 2022

To promote the transition from an “old city to a new society,” between the 1960s and 1970s, Bologna, Italy, undertook a particular urban planning process for historic cities. This article seeks to understand the construction of the conservation agenda of the historic center, which materialized in a social housing policy, with solid emancipatory and anti-capitalist aspirations. Based on a literature review, the article has sought to unravel the various political and technical syntheses related to the subject of heritage restoration, particularly in post-war Italy (1945) until the 1970s. Issues have been addressed related to the state regulatory systems for land and real estate, the nature of the safeguarding policy, and the guidelines for metropolitan planning, with the historic center being its focal point.

Achyranthes aspera is an herb found in the Indian subcontinent and has been used for decades because of its traditional anti-diabetic and antiobesity properties. Since studies are not reported on Achyranthes aspera protection in high-fat diet and diabetes-induced animal models, our aim was to investigate the protective effect of root extract of Achyranthesaspera on the combined effect of high-fat diet and streptozotocin-induced biochemical changes in Wistar rats. To achieve this aim, the objectives of the study were to estimate the body weight, serum glucose, insulin, Glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c), Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA- IR), serum lipid profile, and liver glycogen among the Wistar rats which were divided into 6 groups having 6 rats in each group. Group 1 - control rats Group 2 - diabetic group rats, Group 3 – HFD diabetic rats and the rats from groups 4 to 6 were given a high-fat diet+ Streptozotocin 40 mg/kg + a low dose of root extract of Achyranthes aspera (250 mg/kg), high dose of root extract of Achyranthe saspera (500 mg/kg), metformin (250 mg/kg), respectively treated for 35 days. Body weight followed by serum glucose, insulin, HBA1C, HOMA- IR, serum lipid profile, and liver glycogen were evaluated. HFD + Diabetic group showed an elevated level of lipid profile and alterations in serum glucose, HbA1C, HOMAIR, Insulin and liver glycogen. Administration of Metformin and hydro alcoholic root extract of Achyranthes aspera500 mg/kg to HFD + diabetic group protected the biochemical alterations and serum insulin, glucose levels, HbA1c, HOMA- IR, liver glycogen. In comparison with HFD group, there was 1.76,2.02, and,1.3-fold decrease in Glucose levels in HFD+STZ+ Metformin, HFD+STZ+HEAA250, and HFD+STZ+HEAA500 groups respectively. In comparison with HFD group, there was a 1.38,1.15 and,1.59-fold increase in Insulin levels in HFD+STZ+ Metformin, HFD+STZ+HEAA250, and HFD+STZ+HEAA500 groups respectively. The HbA1C levels (mean±SEM) of control, STZ, HFD+STZ, HFD+STZ+ Metformin, HFD+STZ+HEAA250, and HFD+STZ+HEAA500 were 7.36±0.22,10.18±0.74,8.94±0.33,8.10±0.22,8.94±0.22 and 7.0±0.41 respectively. The HOMA-IR levels (mean±SEM) of control, STZ, HFD+STZ, HFD+STZ+ Metformin, HFD+STZ+HEAA250, andHFD+STZ+HEAA500were 2.08±0.12,3.99±0.85,17.05±3.53,1.61±0.28,2.46±0.74 and 2.01±0.20 respectively The study findings reveal the protective role of Achyranthesaspera on high-fat diet and a diabetic induced biochemical changes.

Recently, QSAR technique and molecular docking have become widespread in designing new series of compounds, depending upon the different models developed, before actually synthesizing and testing them. Due to the diverse activity profile of substituted Benzothiazole, it has become a pharmacophore of interest. The main motive of the study was to design some novel 2- Mercaptobenzothiazole molecules with potential anti-inflammatory effect. Thus, in order to get a better insight into the structural features of 2- Mercaptobenzothiazole, a series of analogues were taken from the literature and 2D, 3D QSAR models were developed and molecular docking and ADME studies were also performed. For 2D QSAR study, stepwise forwarding variable selection method, coupled with Partial Least Square (SWF-PLS) regression-based method, was used to generate the best 2D model giving r2= 0.9425, q2=0.9018, F-value=90.0118, pred_r2=0.8976. In contrast, the forward stepwise variable selection k-nearest neighbour molecular field analysis approach was used to generate best 3D QSAR model (q2=0.8171 and pred_r2=0.7006). Docking studies were performed on 29 derivatives of 2-Mercaptobenzothiazoles. The ligands were prepared and docked against protein S. aureus TYrRS with a resolution of 3.2Å. The three derivatives K6, K18 and K20 were found to have the best docking scores (-48.44, -47.46, -48.52). Further, synthesis of these three derivatives was carried out. Spectral characterization was carried out by IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR and all the structures were found to be in agreement with the data obtained. In vitro anti-inflammatory evaluation of these compounds was carried out by following the protein denaturation method and HRBC membrane stabilization method. Compound K20 displayed potential anti-inflammatory activity, which may be attributed to the electronegative group on the phenyl ring substituted on the pyrazole part of the pharmacophore.

Prolonged and improper usage of antibiotics has been shown as a main reason for the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens.Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs have been shown to reduce the antibiotics usage and the rate of emergence of resistance. De-escalation of antimicrobials is an important component of AMS. AMS programmes require regular auditing and feedback for proper implementation and continuous improvement. Hence we did this clinical audit with the main aim of estimating the de-escalation rates and identifying the possible reasons for non-de-escalation in our centre. Case sheets of the patients admitted between 1st October 2020 to 31st December 2020 were screened during discharge for data for de-escalation and reasons for non-de-escalation. Cefeprazone-sulbactum (32%) was commonly used empirical monotherapy in the audited period. De-escalation rate after positive culture reposts was 28%. Serious clinical illness (36%) was found to be the most common reason for non-de-escalation. De-escalation was not done in nearly 25% of eligible instances without a proper justification.
