Published: March 2023

This article covers history of Polish Indology in the second half of the 20th century and early 21st century. The end of World War II, and the independence obtained by India in 1947 are the factors that greatly influenced development of Indology in Poland and Polish-Russian Indological contacts. New centers of Indology in Wroclaw and Poznan developed. New themes of research appeared. Contacts with Russian colleagues intensified. The author reviews the history of Indology in Wrocław, Warsaw, Krakov and Poznan. In May 1945, Poland obtained new territories and Wrocław became a leading educational and science hub with many professors from Vilnius and Lvov joining Breslau’s former university staff. For example, S. Stasiak and Ludwik Skurzak joined the Indology unit at the University of Wrocław. Unfortunately, the Department of Indian Studies at the Jagiellonian University was closed from 1948 to 1973; it was re-opened in 1973. Despite institutional challenges, Indology in both countries continued to develop, and relations. Tatiana Rutkowskla (Nee Girillovich) from Leningrad University after post-graduate studies in Leningrad moved to Warsaw and started teaching Hindi. Now four Polish Universities continue long tradition of Indological studies and Russian-Polish Indological contacts there in 1950s.

Authors:   University of Danang, University of Science and Education, Truong Anh Thuan , Nguyen Thi Vinh Linh ,   Quang Nam University
Published: March 2023

The 16th–19th centuries was the period that witnessed the ups and downs development of the trade of the Portuguese Crown and the Portuguese private traders in India. In fact, the maritime trade of the Portuguese Crown only developed significantly in the 16th century; from the 17th century, because of different reasons, it declined gradually. Finally, it had to depend on the British at the end of the 19th century. In contrast with the Portuguese Crown trade, although the commerce of the Portuguese private merchants had to face a lot of difficulties, it continued to expand its role and influence during the four centuries (16th–19th). This article summarizes the trade of Portuguese royal and Portuguese private commercial activities in India from the 16th to the 19th century. On that basis, the authors of this article analyze and point out the core characteristics which fully and comprehensively reflect the development of commercial activities of the Portuguese royal family and merchants in India during this period. To conduct this research, the authors rely on the research results of scholars around the world directly or indirectly related to this issue and use two main research methods of Historical Science, including the historical method and the logical method. In addition, the authors also use several other research methods such as analysis, synthesis, statistics, and comparison. The completion of this study will make a scholarly contribution by helping researchers to have a more comprehensive and in-depth view of Portugal’s commercial activities in Asia in general and India in particular from the 16th to the 19th century.
The traditional Scottish criminal law model from the Far-Eastern perspective
Authors:   Chiang Mai University, Chitov Alexandre
Published: March 2023

The traditional Scottish criminal law model was a bold attempt to build the system of criminal law on the Christian foundations combined with the universal principles of reason that go beyond the narrow national, cultural, and religious traditions of a particular country. Scottish criminal law grew out of the Enlightenment which attempted to establish criminal law on common sense, to make it intelligible and useful. The spirit of the Scottish legal philosophy is egalitarian. The knowledge of law must be accessible to everyone. These ideas challenge the practices of many countries in the East where law is perceived as a complex set of rules known only to a narrow circle of experts, whereas people have little role to play but obey those rules, often without understanding them or even knowing them. The Scottish ideas of criminal law can serve as a platform for a critical examination of the criminal law in such diverse countries like Thailand and China. The attractive feature of the Scottish Enlightenment for those countries is its pragmatism. At the same time, it resists the excessiveness of the governmental control by the means of criminal law that can threaten the wellbeing of people. The idea of crime as a moral vice that offends public sentiment effectively limits the oppressive expansion of criminal law in the Far East.
Frustration of purpose due to change of position: Experiences of the “mixed jurisdictions”
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Petrova Daria
Published: March 2023

The article analyses the problem of change of position and frustration of purpose in “mixed jurisdictions”. Frustration of contractual purpose is the doctrine that is known in English law and derives from the so called “coronation cases”. At the same time frustration of contractual purpose is a particular case of subsequent change of external situation. The author systematically considers the issue in the civil law of Louisiana and Quebec. Louisiana and Quebec are “mixed jurisdictions” that harmoniously combine elements of civil law and common law. But today mentioned legal systems solve problems of change of position and frustration of purpose with the help of traditional institutions of civil law: impossibility, force majeure and the doctrine of cause. In practice it leads to that the issue of the influence of change of circumstances and frustration of contractual purpose on obligations becomes stubborn. The reason of it is the objective unsuitability of mentioned doctrines to the issue. Therefore, we need to mention the experience of Argentina. Argentina is not a “mixed jurisdiction” but its Civil and Commercial Code reformed in 2015 harmoniously combine elements of civil law and common law with the aim to solve practical problems. The Civil and Commercial Code of Argentina provides rules not only about subsequent extraordinary change of position and its consequences but in the single article regulate frustration of contractual purpose. Frustration of contractual purpose in Argentina is closely connected with the doctrine of causa. Therefore in the framework of the doctrine of frustration of contractual purpose both the typical purpose of contract of certain kind (i. e. cause in civil law) and the motive that is unique for each contract have legal sense. Recognizing in the Civil and Commercial Code of Argentina the legal sense of party’s motive for entering into contract Argentina in fact departs from the canons of continental law that doesn’t recognize the legal sense of such motives.

Authors: Davood Asghar , Saadabadi Atefeh , Torkaman Porya , Salehi Ehsan , Shafaroodi Hamed
Published: March 2023

Background:

A series of phthalimides related to thalidomide have been studied for
analgesic activity in the formalin test. The formalin test was performed in mice in a nociceptive
pattern to evaluate analgesic activity.

Methods:

In this study, nine derivatives of phthalimides were evaluated in terms of exerting analgesic
effects in mice. They exerted significant analgesic effects compared to indomethacin and
negative control. These compounds were synthesized and characterized by TLC, followed by IR
and H1NMR in the previous studies. Two distinct periods of high licking activity were used to
analyze both acute and chronic pain. All compounds were compared with indomethacin and carbamazepine
as positive control and vehicle as a negative control.

Results:

All of the tested compounds exhibited significant analgesic activity in both the first and
second phases of the test compared to the control group (DMSO), although they did not show
more activity than the reference drug (indomethacin) but were comparable to indomethacin.

Conclusion:

This information may be useful in the development of a more potent phthalimide as
an analgesic agent that acts as a sodium channel blocker and COX inhibitor.

Authors: Santiago-López Lourdes , Garcia Hugo S. , González-Córdova Aarón F. , Vallejo-Cordoba Belinda , Hernandez-Mendoza Adrián
Published: March 2023

Antecedentes y Objetivos: El huauzontle (Chenopodium berlandieri subsp. nuttalliae) es un pseudocereal nativo de México y forma parte de su tradición culinaria. Este pseudocereal es reconocido por su alto valor nutricional y componentes que se asocian a efectos benéficos a la salud. Sin embargo, al momento no se cuenta con literatura sobre el impacto que tendría el proceso de fermentación sobre sus propiedades bioactivas. Por ello, el objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar el efecto de la fermentación por Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Lp22, en semillas de huauzontle suspendidas en agua, sobre sus propiedades antioxidantes y antiinflamatorias in vitro.
Métodos: Semillas de huauzontle se suspendieron en agua (0.3% p/v), se inocularon con L. plantarum Lp22 (1% v/v) a una concentración de 108 UFC/ml y se fermentaron por 24 h a 37 °C. Finalmente, las semillas fueron recuperadas por filtración, se molieron y del extracto acuoso se determinó la actividad antioxidante por los métodos de ABTS y ORAC. Además, se evaluó la inhibición de las enzimas lipooxigenasa (LOX) y tripsina y se determinó la concentración de fenoles totales (método de Folin-Ciocalteu) en extractos metanólicos.
Resultados clave: La actividad antioxidante representada como mM de equivalentes Trolox fue de 812.50 y 927.50 por ABTS, y 1384.32 y 3391.11, para ORAC, para huauzontle no fermentado y fermentado, respectivamente (p<0.05). La inhibición de la actividad de LOX fue de 40.06% y 37.24%, y para tripsina fue de 12.53% y 14.38% (p>0.05), para no fermentado y fermentado, respectivamente, mientras que el contenido de fenoles totales fue de 7.49 y 20.24 mg/ml (p<0.05), respectivamente.
Conclusiones: Estos hallazgos indican que la fermentación del huauzontle mejora las propiedades antioxidantes y antiinflamatorias, y que pueden estar asociados con el incremento en el contenido de fenoles, por lo que su consumo podría fortalecer el mecanismo antioxidante y sistema inmune del organismo humano.

The development of information technology, especially social media, has paved the way for the theory and concept of global citizenship. Integration and connection allow everyone to convey citizens' opinions, ideas, criticism, and actions. Based on the literature and previous studies, social media is analyzed in terms of benefits and disadvantages. This study aims to emphasize the use of social media among students, especially as a means of becoming global citizens. This research was conducted using qualitative methods by analyzing various literature and sources, which were then described. The study results a show that student activity in social media contributes to a new media ecology called global citizen solidarity in social media. Student solidarity in viewing various problems that occur led to civic action. Student actions on social media in various fields and issues on global issues such as politics, religion, economy, environment, health, philanthropy, and human rights reinforce the concept of being global citizens. The transformation regarding the use of social media by students into a theoretical framework for global citizen practice. It is important to re-describe the concept of global citizenship or cosmopolitanism through social media to create world citizen solidarity as a sense of responsibility in dealing with global problems and promoting world peace.

Published: March 2023

This study examines the success of students' moral strengthening strategies through school culture. In examining the problem, this research uses a descriptive method. This research was conducted in Cakranegara Mataram 4 elementary school by studying and examining using observation method, interview, and documentation. Some of the findings obtained from the research show that the strategy of strengthening students' morale is implemented in some aspects: first on the vision and mission of the school where the school arranges the vision and mission and goals of the school which implies the value of faith, piety and religious, in order to strengthen student morale. Secondly, on activities, both activities within the school environment and activities outside the school environment relating to religious activities in order to increase religious value. The third is the application of teacher modeling which aims to provide good moral examples for students so the students can learn from existing models, that is, the teacher. Fourth, school facilities and infrastructure. Fifth, school rules are arranged based on the school's vision, mission, and goals. The results showed that the strategy successfully strengthened students' morale. However, there are still some obstacles found, such as the number of students who are not balanced with the number of classes and the number of less ideal teachers, the lack of maximum utilization of existing facilities, the lack of commitment of school residents, especially the lack of cooperation of parents in efforts to strengthen student morale.

Published: March 2023

This research aims to investigate the transformation of local knowledge of Lubuk Larangan toward tourism. The research method uses an ethnographic qualitative approach. This method is implemented because this research has a connection to customary societies. To gather data was used as an in-depth interview. Samples are selected through the purposive technique. The result is probed meticulously through the triangulation technique and triangulation sources. The result shows that customary community conferences locally impact the conservation of nature and fish in Lubuk Larangan. Deliberations determine the time of harvesting fish in the forbidden pit area and determine the area used as a prohibited area. There were 10 ninik mamak in attendance and one ninik mamak as the leader of the ten ninik mamak. Another finding is that democratic principles such as decisions on the basis of togetherness for the common interest are applied to the forbidden area. The last finding is that there is a transformation of social and cultural values in the Lubuk Larangan area. Customary rules are very strict, but interfering with the younger generation to overhaul traditional rules makes the traditional leaders adapt to the wishes of the younger generation to serve as fishing tourism areas. Several considerations were found at the time the Lubuk Larangan area had not been changed. The rules were detrimental because when the event opened the Lubuk Prohibition area, it resulted in the exhaustion of fish, and profits were only obtained 30 million in 3 years. When it has been converted into fishing tourism, it impacts increasing profits to reach 30 million in a month. Plus, the fish will not become extinct because the fish caught when fishing will be released again. People even get the opportunity to offer tent rental services, sell food and drinks, become tour guides, and offer to lodge for tourists who come.

Using the sublattice method and density functional theory, the electronic struc-ture of a LiTlTe2 crystal with the chalcopyrite structure was studied for the first time and the equilibrium parameters of the crystal lattice a=6.7526 Å, c=13.3037 Å, u(Te)=0.2423 were calculated. It has been established that the valence bands of the LiTlTe2 crystal and its closest analogue LiInTe2 actually coincide in topol-ogy, and the LiTlTe2 crystal is a direct-gap semiconductor with a band gap of 0.63 eV and a crystal splitting of 0.04 eV. The partial contributions of the densi-ty of states are analyzed and the features of the formation of the valence and conduction bands of LiInTe2 and LiTlTe2 crystals due to the contributions of their sublattices are revealed: the structure of the valence bands of both crystals is completely determined by the interaction in the cationic tetrahedra of InTe4 and TlTe4. The vibrational modes and elastic constants are calculated, confirm-ing the stability and mechanical stability of the LiTlTe2 crystal.

Published: March 2023

Careful selection of lung transplant (LT) recipients with cystic fibrosis (CF) may improve outcomes; therefore, we studied the impact of sex and age at the time of LT on long-term survival of patients with CF. LT recipients with CF who received post-LT care at our center between July 1, 2007 and April 30, 2021 were included. The primary outcome was death or retransplantation. Cox proportional hazard analysis and the Kaplan-Meier method were used. Of 59 included LT recipients, the median age at first LT was 28 (22, 36) years, 36 (61%) patients were ≥25 years old, and 30 (51%) were male. At the end of the study, 21 (36%) had died and 17 (29%) had required retransplantation, with a median lung allograft survival of 33.4 (16.1, 66.4) months. The remaining 21 patients (36%) were alive at a median of 68 (28, 112) months after primary LT. The probability of survival of male patients trended higher than that of female patients (66.7% vs 44.8%, p = 0.069). Compared to age < 25 years at LT, age ≥ 25 years was associated with a significantly higher probability of survival (63.9% vs 43.5%, p = 0.047). LT recipients with CF aged ≥ 25 years at LT had significantly higher survival than younger patients, and survival trended higher for male recipients compared to female recipients. These results identify an at-risk population of LT recipients who may warrant closer attention after LT. Large multicenter trials with adequate power are needed.

Cornelius Castoriadis: una mirada sobre lo imaginario
Authors: Anzaldúa-Arce Raúl Enrique
Published: March 2023

Este texto presenta una visión panorámica y sintética de lo imaginario en Cornelius Castoriadis. Primero, una breve semblanza del autor, su aproximación al psicoanálisis y su vinculación; después, su separación de Jacques Lacan. Enseguida se analizan sus planteamientos sobre lo imaginario en los dos dominios que reconoce como inseparables e irreductibles: el dominio de la psique y el histórico-social. Lo imaginario en la psique, actúa como imaginación radical que es creación incesante de representaciones, afectos y deseos. En el dominio histórico-social se presenta como lo imaginario social, creador de instituciones, que se mantienen en la tensión de la repetición de lo instituido y la diferencia de lo instituyente. Por último, se analizan los conceptos de sujeto y de autonomía.
Algunas consideraciones sobre el estudio sociohistórico de los afectos en Cornelius Castoriadis
Authors: Rosso Germán
Published: March 2023

En este ensayo se propone recuperar los aportes que, dispersos en distintas intervenciones, Castoriadis brinda respecto del estudio de los afectos en tanto vector del mundo de sentidos sociales. En primer término, se establecen los lineamientos epistemológicos del autor en la indagación de lo sociohistórico, enfatizando en los aspectos pertinentes a los afectos. En segundo término, se identifican dos modos de aproximación a esta dimensión: el estudio de la creación sociohistórica de nuevos afectos y la perspectiva transaccional sobre las configuraciones afectivas. Para finalizar, se ensaya una breve reflexión al respecto de los afectos predominantes en la época contemporánea, centrada en el pasaje del conformismo y la apatía a la indignación y el resentimiento.
política desde la visión de Cornelius Castoriadis
Authors: Cisneros-Araujo María Eugenia
Published: March 2023

En este texto se muestra que Castoriadis reivindica la figura de Sócrates en el sentido del quehacer de la política. La política es una actividad del colectivo que interroga las instituciones existentes en su sociedad. La verdadera actividad política consiste en la discusión que hacen los ciudadanos de las instituciones desde la sociedad en las que les toca vivir. La política no es un asunto exclusivo de los filósofos portadores de conocimiento apartados de su sociedad como lo propone Platón, ni de expertos, especialistas, como lo establece la modernidad. La política vista desde la praxis socrática es un hacer del colectivo que reflexiona, delibera, cuestiona y actúa para transformar radicalmente las instituciones instituidas en instituciones instituyentes.

Fish are often infected with different blood protozoa of the genera Babesiosoma, Trypanosoma, and Hemogrigarina. These blood parasites match the genera which infect the blood of mammals. A total of 120 samples from five different fish species (Barbus grypus, Barbus sharpyi, Liza abu, Carasobarbus luteus, and Aspius vorax) were collected from the Khazar River in Ninevah Governorate, Iraq at weekly intervals during the period from April 2022 to October 2022 for the detection of blood parasites and hematological analysis. Thin and thick Giemsa stained blood smears revealed significant infection with Trypanosoma, Babes iosoma, and Haemogregarina which were recorded in 32%, 16%, and 8% of Carasobarbus luteus samples, respectively; 30%, 15%, and 10% of B. sharpyi samples, respectively; and 23.3%, 16.7%, and 6.7% of B. grypus samples, respectively. No infection with Trypanosoma or Babesiosoma were recorded in L. Abu, and no infection with Babesiosoma or Haemogregarina were recorded in A. vorax. Hematological parameters of blood samples from infected fish showed a significant decrease in hemoglobin concentration, total red blood cells, and stacked cell size along with a significant increase in the number of inflammatory cells including lymphocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. This is the first study to identify blood parasites in fishes and to monitor the changes of hematological parameters in blood samples of infected fishes from the waters of Mosul, Iraq.

The outline of our work delineates the isolation and evaluation of sun screening activity of melanin producers such as Pseudomonas mosselli STGRDS1, Pseudomonas putida STGRDS3, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens STGRDV11, Bacillus subtilis STGRDV5 and Bacillus cereus STGRDT12. All of the isolates were tested against the fungal melanin STGRDM1, which was used as control throughout the study. The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of formulated creams containing 5% and 10% of melanin was determined with values ranging from 1.96 ± 0.008 to 26.33 ± 0.061; further, the transmission spectroscopy was used to calculate the percentage of protection factor that stipulates the potentiality of pigments showing sunscreen effect.

ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AZD1222) is a replication-deficient chimpanzee adenovirus vectored vaccine developed by Oxford and AstraZeneca for a disease we all know as Coronavirus, or COVID-19. Ongoing clinical studies reveal that the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine has a tolerable safety profile and is effective against symptomatic COVID-19. This vaccine may prove crucial in boosting herd immunity, averting life threatening illness, and relieving the current pandemic. In this mini review, we performed a thorough literature search through PubMed and Google Scholar and reported various case reports associated with complications of the adenovirus-vectored COVID-19 vaccine. Various adverse effects of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine were reported around the globe, which were often serious but rare and developed into life-threatening pathologies such as GBS, thrombocytopenia, demyelinating neuropathies, progressive dementia, cerebral infarction, IgA vasculitis, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, herpes zoster, cutaneous reactions, and vein thrombosis. These worldwide reported complications, which are usually rare and severe, will aid clinicians in understanding and managing unforeseen situations. There is a need for more research to find out more about these complications and their etiopathogenesis. However, the benefits of these vaccinations for stopping the spread of the outbreak and lowering the fatality rate outweigh the potential risk of the uncommon complications.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an expedient Gram-negative bacterium, which is characterized by its ability to acquire antimicrobial resistance. In this study, 56 unrepeatable carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates were gathered from various clinical sources from hospitals in Cairo and Mansoura universities. The isolates exhibited diminished susceptibility towards carbapenems, quinolones, aminoglycosides and chloramphenicol by using disc diffusion method. Carbapenemase production was confirmed among the isolates, where all the 56 P. aeruginosa isolates harboured carbapenemase genes including blaVIM (43 isolates), blaKPC (38 isolates), blaNDM-1 (17 isolates), blaIMP (16 isolates) and blaOXA-48 (15 isolates). Among the isolates, 13 carried only one carbapenemase gene, while 43 isolates carried multiple carbapenemase genes. MCR-1 production was confirmed in 10 of the tested isolates by detecting the mcr-1 gene encoding for the colistin resistance. Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus-PCR (ERIC-PCR) evaluation showed that the tested isolates were unrelated to each other. Therefore, this study rises the danger of emergence of MDR P. aeruginosa resistant to carbapenems coupled with other antimicrobials including colistin, which is regarded as the last reservoir for the management of infections caused by MDR Gram-negative pathogens. Early inspection of resistance patterns in MDR organisms is an important tool to control and prevent infections via limiting the spread of these pathogens.

Concerns about an increase in cases during the COVID-19 pandemic have been heightened by the emergence of a new Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 that joined the previously reported BF.7 as a source of public health concern. COVID-19 cases have been on the rise intermittently throughout the ongoing pandemic, likely because of the continuous introduction of SARS-CoV-2 subtypes. The present study analyzed the Indian citizen’s perceptions of the latest covid variants XBB.1.5 and BF.7 using the natural language processing technique, especially topic modeling and sentiment analysis. The tweets posted by Indian citizens regarding this issue were analyzed and used for this study. Government authorities, policymakers, and healthcare officials will be better able to implement the necessary policy effectively to tackle the XBB 1.5 and BF.7 crises if they are aware of the people’s sentiments and concerns about the crisis. A total of 8,54,312 tweets have been used for this study. Our sentiment analysis study has revealed that out of those 8,54,312 tweets, the highest number of tweets (n = 3,19,512 tweets (37.3%)) about COVID variants XBB.1.5 and BF.7 had neutral sentiments, 3,16,951 tweets (37.1%) showed positive sentiments and 2,17,849 tweets (25.4%) had negative sentiments. Fear of the future and concerns about the immunity of the vaccines are of prime concerns to tackle the ongoing pandemic.

Medical entomology involves the study of medically important insects, such as cockroaches and mosquitoes, which have a dangerous role as transmitters for deadly diseases, such as Malaria, Leishmaniasis, and Dengue fever, which are responsible for many deaths among humans. Huge concern about the use of chemicals insecticides encourages the development of alternative methods for insect control, and due to the harmful effects of these chemicals, new strategies are being developed to replace or reduce the use of synthesized insecticides. Therefore, chitinolytic enzymes produced by microorganisms have a significant effect as biocontrol agents and will be more critical than synthetic pesticides for control. This study was primarily aimed to study the impact of various isolated bacteria using chitinolytic and spraying assays against adult stages of Periplaneta americana and Aedes aegypti as biological controls. Eight species of bacteria were isolated, and only Chryseomonas luteola was used against adult insects because of its high chitinolytic activity by spraying assay. Our results showed that the LC50 values of C. luteola against P. americana were 22.04% and 17.21% after 24 and 48 h, respectively. For A. aegypti adult stages, LC50 values of C. luteola were 2.78% and 2.12% after 24 and 48 h, respectively. Based on the results of this investigation, it is reasonable to say that using microbial insecticides may be an effective strategy to control the adult stages of P. americana and A. aegypti.

Malaria is a global threat and a never-ending battle without appropriate identification and differentiation of the parasite species. This work compared the diagnostic methods including the thick film microscopy technique, quantitative buffy coat, and polymerase chain reaction. The inaccuracy of species determination by microscopy and the consequent treatment regime underlines the necessity to upgrade routine diagnostic methods with molecular techniques. In the study, 436 samples were collected; venous blood was processed for the quantitative buffy coat technique followed by classical Giemsa staining of thin and thick smears and nested Polymerase Chain Reaction (nPCR) for the genus-specific region of Plasmodium targeting 18S rDNA followed by species-specific identification. Of 436 samples screened for malaria, results in PCR showed 78.7% (100/127) to be P. vivax, 4.8% (6/127) as P. falciparum and 16.5% (21/127) to be mixed infection (P. vivax + P. falciparum). The prevalence of malaria was 0.29, and there was good concordance between the methods for detecting Plasmodium (Kappa:0.77). In our investigation, nested PCR and TFM exhibited a sensitivity of 97.7% and a specificity of 100% for malaria detection compared to QBC. Clinical parameters- thrombocytopenia and anemia, were compared in this study. A positive association was observed between thrombocytopenia and malaria (p<0.05), but the association between anemia and malaria infection remains unclear. Primer cross-reactions were also observed in the primer sequence of P. ovale and P. knowlesi, but sequencing confirmed it as P. vivax and the study of phylogeny paved a new way in analyzing the relatedness of the sequences.

Abstract: Public healthcare has been paid increasing attention given the exponential growth human population and medical expenses. It is well known that an effective health monitoring system can detect abnormalities of health conditions in time and make diagnoses according to the gleaned data. As a vital approach to diagnosing heart diseases, ECG monitoring is widely studied and applied. However, nearly all existing portable ECG monitoring systems cannot work without a mobile application, which is responsible for data collection and display. In this project, we propose a new method for ECG monitoring based on Internet-of-Things (IoT) techniques. ECG data are gathered using a wearable monitoring node and are transmitted directly to the IoT cloud using Wi-Fi. Both the HTTP and MQTT protocols are employed in the IoT cloud in order to provide visual and timely ECG data to users. Nearly all smart terminals with a web browser can acquire ECG data conveniently, which has greatly alleviated the cross-platform issue. Experiments are carried out on healthy volunteers in order to verify the reliability of the entire system. Experimental results reveal that the proposed system is reliable in collecting and displaying real-time ECG data, which can aid in the primary diagnosis of certain heart diseases.
