Authors: Althaher Arwa R. , S. AL Shehadeh Razan
Published: December 2024

Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL) is an essential lipid metabolism enzyme affecting both the brain and peripheral tissues. Its impact on neuronal lipid homeostasis, synaptic function, and plasticity is increasingly recognized. This review explores the various functions of LPL in the brain and how it may affect neurological health, especially in Alzheimer's disease. We explore how LPL regulates lipid uptake and utilization in the brain, its influence on synaptic function, neurogenesis, and myelination, and its role in the pathophysiology of AD. Genetic and environmental factors modulating LPL activity are also discussed. The review provides insights into LPL's role in neurodegenerative diseases, acknowledges current limitations and challenges in research, and highlights the therapeutic potential of targeting LPL for AD treatment. Ultimately, this review underscores the importance of LPL in maintaining brain health and its promising potential as a therapeutic target for AD.
Nanovesicular Carriers in Medicine: The Rise of Spanlastics for Targeted Drug Delivery in Dermatological Therapy
Authors: Kumar Akshay , Gautam Rajesh , Vikram Vir
Published: December 2024

Spanlastic belong to a newly established class of nanovesicular carriers critical in contemporary
systems used to deliver active pharmaceutical ingredients, alleviating most of the drawbacks
of conventional delivery techniques. The principal ingredients include non-ionic surfactants
and edge activators. Owing to their high deformability, spanlastics will be able to encapsulate various
therapeutic molecules, from hydrophilic to lipophilic ones, which enables them to deliver over
all kinds of biological membranes. This unique property makes them an ideal candidate for several
routes of administration, such as topical, transdermal, and ocular applications. As an example, formulation
techniques include the optimization of thin film hydration and ethanol injection to improve
the encapsulation of drugs and the stability of vesicles. The basis of their efficacy lies in critical
physicochemical parameters such as vesicle size, zeta potential, and drug entrapment efficiency.
Spanlastics informatics has become a promising way to improve the bioavailability of peptides,
proteins, and vaccines, thereby improving the critical challenges with drug delivery systems. This
review provides an overview of their formulation processes, diverse applications, and contributions
to advancing pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences. This review also emphasizes the role of
spanlastics in dermatological therapy.

Published: December 2024

Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is a viral
disease of the respiratory system with zoonotic importance. It was initially reported in
Southern China (province: Guangdong) in mid-November (2002). This disease showed
a viral spread to more than thirty countries belonging to five different continents and
infected 8098 people, out of which 774 died. The emergence of SARS has been found
to be due to human-animal contact. SARS-CoV is not harmful in children, and there is
no vertical transmission from mothers to newborns. In pediatric age groups, no death
has been reported. Most SARS autopsies cases showed extensive spleen and white pulp
necrosis with severe depletion of lymphocytes. The genomic sequence of SARS-CoV
is detected through RT-PCR in some specimens of the brain and cerebral spinal fluid.
The pathogenesis of SARS is very complex as multiple factors are involved. With the
prevalence of SARS-CoV, many diseases are associated with and cause damage to
different organs and systems of the body. Some strategies that can help treat SARSCoV are host-directed therapies, the use of antibiotics, inhibitors of viral and host
proteases, and interferons. The World Health Organization (WHO) issued an alert on
12th March 2003 about new deadly infectious diseases globally. After three days, the
WHO named these diseases SARS. China, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong were
the most severely affected areas.

Published: December 2024

Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is responsible
for causing respiratory diseases. Its transmission takes place through saliva droplets.
SARS-CoV appeared first in Southern China. It spread quickly across the globe from
2002 to 2003. In the wild, horseshoe bats serve as natural reservoir hosts for SARSCoV. Palm civets show high susceptibility toward SARS-CoV. SARS-CoV gradually
mutates on continuous transmission from human to human, animal to animal, and
animal to human. These mutational changes can occur in viral proteins, which bind to
the angiotensin-converting enzyme2 (ACE2) receptor of the host cell surface and cause
infection. The worldwide spread of infection leads to the survival of of fitter, more
spreadable variants with enhanced ability to adapt to their host. In this chapter, we
discussed the different angles of variation in SARS-CoV and the impact of these
variations on viral pathogenicity. During this study, we observed many variations in
virus spike protein, variation in amino acid residues, variation in open reading frames,
the interaction of spike with host ACE2 receptor, genetic variability with OC43, the
impact of the variation in IL-12, RBI, and the variation in serine protease. No proven
treatments, cures, or pre-emptive strategies were available for SARA-CoV.
Coronaviruses found in bats show genetic diversity, pointing out our poor
understanding of viral zoonosis from wild animals. Viral zoonosis can be prevented by
considering the concept of “One Health”.
Properties of Bacterial Nanocellulose
Authors: Bajpai Pratima
Published: December 2024

Bacterial cellulose is recognized as a multifaceted, versatile biomaterial with
abundant applications. It is a completely biodegradable, ecological, non-toxic,
chemically stable, and biocompatible material. Unlike plant cellulose, it is
characterized by high crystallinity, a higher degree of polymerization, and higher
tensile strength and Young’s modulus. In addition, bacterial cellulose, unlike vegetable
cellulose, has a smaller diameter of fibres and hence possesses higher hydrophilicity.
The properties of bacterial cellulose depend on multiple factors, such as culture
conditions, the type of microorganisms, and nutrients present in the growth medium.
These factors have a huge impact on the properties of the polymer, such as strength,
crystallinity, degree of polymerization, or hygroscopicity.

Published: December 2024

Life on Earth is possible due to the vital elements and energy
transformations referred as biogeochemical cycle. Microorganisms play an essential
role in moderating the Earth's biogeochemical cycles; nevertheless, despite our fastincreasing ability to investigate highly complex microbial communities and ecosystem
processes, they remain unknown. Microbes are crucial in nutrient cycling and energy
transfers between ecosystems and the tropics, but research on their intricate functions is
still restricted due to technological inabilities. A better understanding of microbial
communities based on ecological principles may improve our ability to predict
ecosystem process rates using environmental variables and microbial physiology. We explored the ecological role of microorganisms participating in biogeochemical cycles,
hoping to delineate the role of microbes and microbiomes in biogeochemical cycles.
Insights into these aspects can help us mitigate the effects of climate change and other
future uncertainties by regulating the microbial-dependent biogeochemical cycle.

Published: December 2024

A forest is a large area of land covered with big trees of different species,
approximately covering one-third of the Earth's surface. Forest ecosystems are more
than what can be seen physically (aboveground); below the ground level, they are
extraordinarily diverse and have unique communities of microbiomes with a large
population of bacteria and fungi species. These microorganisms are essential to how
plants interact with the soil environment and are necessary to access critically limiting
soil resources. This book chapter focuses on the ecosystems below and above ground
level of a forest microbiome, including the soil microorganisms, their importance, and
the diverse interrelationships among soil microorganisms (parasitism, mutualism,
commensalism). The aboveground part of a plant is known as the phyllosphere,
harboring diverse microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, filamentous fungi, yeast,
algae, and rarely protozoa and nematodes with a role in disease resistance that is
critical to plant health and development. The rhizosphere is the soil region immediately
adjacent to and affected by plant roots where plants, soil, microorganisms, nutrients, and water meet and interact. In this region, plants and microbes coordinate and show a
symbiotic relationship by fulfilling each other's nutrient requirements, roles, and
functions. The endosphere is the plant interior and is colonized by endophytes, and
their functions range from mutualism to pathogenicity. Archaebacteria, anaerobic
bacteria, aerobic prokaryotes, fungi, and viruses exist as forest biomes. Examples of
fungi include Trichoderma harzianum and obligate parasites Puccinia
striiformisand Gremmeniella abietina. Plants, fungal endophytes, mycoviruses, and the
environment all participate in a four-way interactive system.

Published: December 2024

The sustainable industrial revolution is the way forward to help humankind
prolong its existence on Earth. The first step could be facilitating the natural process
under a controlled environment to produce the desired products instead of chemicals.
The industrial sectors, especially food and pharmaceuticals, depend on microbes for
most of their production. Biocontrol, enzyme, and fuel production have been explored
in recent years. Microbial production systems encompass the metabolites produced by
bacteria, fungi, or viruses that facilitate industrial processes. These secondary
metabolites have been noted to pose implications in many fields, including agriculture.
After the advent of modern genetic engineering techniques, the utilization of
microbiota in various activities is increasing due to their simplicity and costeffectiveness. The gene mounting and biotechnological tolls have aided in
manipulating these microbes' secondary metabolites, thereby improving productivity.
Furthermore, multi-disciplinary and comprehensive approaches directed towards
improving microbial production are described in this chapter.

Gunung Picis and Gunung Sigogor nature reserves, located in the Wilis mountain range of East Java, were established in 1924 and 1936, respectively. These areas are critical for biodiversity preservation as mandated by Indonesia's Law No. 5 of 1990 on Conservation of Biological Resources and Ecosystems. Despite previous surveys documenting various mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibian data remain limited. Herpetofauna, particularly amphibians, are vital bio-indicators due to their sensitivity to environmental changes, but they face significant threats from habitat loss and exploitation. This study, conducted in November 2020 using Visual Encounter Surveys and opportunistic searches, aimed to catalog herpetofauna diversity in these reserves. The survey identified 29 herpetofauna species, with Nyctixalus margaritifer rediscovered at a new site. Most species were classified as Least Concern (LC), except for the Gonocephalus kuhlii (Vulnerable/VU), indicating potential habitat threats. Analysis of species distribution highlighted "Wates stream" as the most diverse habitat. These findings provide a critical foundation for future conservation efforts, emphasizing the need for targeted strategies to protect amphibian and reptile species in Gunung Picis and Gunung Sigogor Nature Reserve.

Authors: Firdaus Fauzan , Rachmawati Rina
Published: December 2024

Produktivitas cabai merah (Capsicum annuum L.) terus meningkat dari tahun 2019 sampai dengan tahun 2021, namun pertumbuhan tersebut tidak berkelanjutan sehingga menimbulkan permasalahan sosial-ekologis. Meskipun jamur Metarhizum anisopliae banyak digunakan, namun efektivitasnya terhambat oleh cekaman abiotik. Oleh karena itu, induksi jamur endofit menjadi alternatif yang dapat memberikan ketahanan terhadap cekaman abiotik dan menjamin keberlanjutan. Induksi M. anisopliae melibatkan tiga metode, yaitu perendaman benih, irigasi tanah, dan penyemprotan daun. Penelitian dilakukan di rumah kaca Brenjonk Mojokerto dan Laboratorium Hama dan Penyakit Tanaman Pangan dan Hortikultura Pasuruan, UPT Perlindungan Tanaman Pangan dan Hortikultura Jawa Timur. Persiapan penelitian meliputi media tanam optimal, perbanyakan isolat, pengujian mutu, penanaman, pemeliharaan tanaman, inokulasi jamur endofit, dan pengamatan. Variabel yang diamati adalah waktu pertama kali koloni jamur endofit muncul, diameter koloni, persentase pertumbuhan koloni, tinggi tanaman, dan panjang akar. Hasil penelitian dianalisis menggunakan uji F tingkat kepercayaan 95% dan uji tindak lanjut DMRT menggunakan Microsoft Excel 2016. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semua metode induksi dapat menjadi endofit pada umur 4 minggu setelah tanam. Kombinasi perendaman benih + irigasi tanah + penyemprotan daun terbukti menjadi perlakuan yang paling efektif untuk semua variabel penelitian, termasuk persentase pertumbuhan koloni jamur endofit, diameter koloni, dan panjang akar. Namun, hal tersebut tidak menghasilkan perbedaan tinggi tanaman yang signifikan, terutama pada kondisi media tanam yang optimal.

Authors: Nawwaruddin Hazza' Hammam , Rohman Abdul , Laksitorini Marlyn Dian
Published: December 2024

Nowadays cosmetics are an important commodity and the market for halal cosmetics is seeing growth. Cosmetics that contain porcine-derived ingredients are typically the source of halal problems. Gelatin and collagen are porcine derivatives that are extensively used in cosmetics. Hence, verifying the presence of porcine derivatives in cosmetics by developing analytical methods is critical. Despite this urgency, determining porcine-derived components in cosmetics is challenging, since cosmetics are quite complex with variable matrix forms. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, there are only a few papers on developing porcine derivatives analysis in cosmetic items. This mini-review objective is to depict the current understanding of determining porcine collagen and gelatin in cosmetic matrixes. The findings revealed that the LC-MS/MS method is superior for determining gelatin and collagen sources in complex matrixes due to its sensitivity and accuracy. PCR and ELISA methods have challenges with the marker degradation problem since the derivatives undergo extensive processing conditions, thus lowering the methods’ specificity and sensitivity, especially in complex matrixes. The SDS-PAGE method applications are limited and the method is suitable for a relatively simple matrix. This review highlights findings that support future advancements in cosmetic analysis for halal authentication.

Published: December 2024

Previous studies have shown that emotion is crucial in student learning. However, most studies in the e-learning environment have yet to consider emotion as part of learning that could lead to successful learning. Thus, this study explored the relationship between student emotion state, emotion sequences, and student learning experience. A preliminary data collection was conducted to explore the relationship between emotional experience and student learning experience, which involved 16 students. Students were asked to learn a programming subject in an e-learning environment. E-learning is designed to store the students' emotional experience and activity during learning. The sequential pattern mining technique was used to extract the data, exploratory data analysis was conducted to visualize the emotional trajectory during the learning process, and regression analysis was used to explain the relationship between students' emotional learning experiences. The results showed that emotional experience might affect student experience in learning. In one-sequence emotion, all emotion states contributed to the learning experience with p-values < 0.01 except for neutral and disgust with p-values < 0.05. The one-sequence emotion model shows R-squared = 0.585; Adj. R-squared = 0.734; F-statistic = 6.920; Prob (F-statistic) = 0.00702. Meanwhile, in two-sequence emotion, none of the emotion sequences contributed to the student learning experience. Lastly, three-sequence emotion models also showed that most sequences did not influence student learning experience. The only sequence of emotions that influenced the student learning experience was surprise-neutral-surprise. These results suggest that emotion should be considered in learning design as it can influence student experience.

Reviewing a vast body of material on contemporary science and knowledge, Jean-Francois Lyotard has sketched the outline of the perspective of knowledge in postmodern condition. The nature of knowledge has been showed from a different point of view through narrative analysis. Drawing a parallel between science and nonscientific (narrative) knowledge in Lyotard's philosophical view helps us understand that the former's existence is no more-and no less-necessary that the latter's. He has predicted how criterion of performativity gets important and that it is significant to prefer paralogy to consensus in postmodern age.

This article is devoted to the analyse of discursions about the essence of the world outlook. One of the most important aspects of the problem of world outlook consists in the decision of the question: How much philosophy can influence the forming of the world outlook. During discursions two main strategies appeared. The one is by M.Sheler that he puts forward in his project of the philosophical anthropology. His main opponent is M.Heidegger. He advanced an alternative approach standing up for a thought that philosophy couldn't be a world outlook. M.Sheler on the contrary proves that the formation of the philosophical world outlook is the most important task of philosophy.

Based on the history of philosophy I present my review of ideologies of the contemporary social

philosophy in this article. I intend to demonstrate my review through referenced to Yoshihiro Francis Fukuyama’s ideologies. Yoshihiro Francis Fukuyama is an American philosopher, political scientist and writer. In this article I will analyze idea of Francis Fukuyama by his essay “Primacy of Culture”.

In his essay, “Primacy of Culture” Francis Fukuyama wrote that there are four levels on which consolidation of democracy must occur, and those are:

1. ideology level;
2. institutions level;
3. civil society level; and 4. culture level.

Francis Fukuyama opined that the liberal democracy should be developed within the above mentioned four levels. Moreover, Francis Fukuyama identified 3-4 competitors to the liberal democracy and they are: (1) extreme nationalism or fascism; (2) Islam; (3) revived neo-Bolshevism. This article will further review Fukuyama’s detailed elaborations on these competitors.

The article discusses images and forms of Maitreya in Mongolian art from the 17th century until 19th c. It poses a question about two forms of Maitreya that became widespread in Mongolia and Tibet as these two forms are not mentioned in the main corpus of Niśpannayogāvali and Sādhanamālā texts. Textual sources of Maitreya’s forms can be seen in Western Tibet (currently Ladakh) and Gyantse, but the majority of Maitreya depictions show the deity as a standing youthful Bodhisattva or a seated Buddha as a cakravartin. The article discusses Maitreya Temple near Huhhot, Inner Mongolia, the home of early dedication to Maitreya among the Mongols. Then the article discusses Maitreya Temple and a monumental Maitreya statue built by Ikh Khüree’s abbot Agwaankhaidav. The article also includes experts from Agwaankhaidav’s texts on Maitreya. The article argues that the Gelug brought a particular worship of Maitreya as cakravartin following Tsongkhapa’s personal association with Maitreya in Dzingji.
