Authors: ALAHMED Azzam , NASSER Mohamed , KHEIR Salah , SALLAM Mohamed , DAWAH Hassan , ALASHAAL Sara
Published: August 2023

Myiasis caused by Calliphorid and Oestrid flies constitute a major threat to the development of livestock industry in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Increased veterinary concerns recently paid to the frequent reports on enteric pathogens caused by the larvae of these flies. Although the importance of sheep and goats in Saudi Arabia, the geographic distribution limits of Calliphorid and Oestrid infestation in caprine livestock has never been highlighted. ArcGIS software was used to assess the spatial distribution of myiasis causing flies in Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia. Implemented Evolutionary algorithms in maximum entropy (MaxEnt) was used to predict the distribution map for myiasis causing flies. Bioclimatic and topographic data layers from Worldclim was analyzed to estimate the percent contribution of variables predicting suitable habitats of flies causing myiasis. Field validation was occurred to evaluate the habitat suitability produced by the model. The predictive ecological niche model was found high with an AUC value of 0.95 and 0.93 for train and test occurrence records, respectively, with a standard deviation equal 0.032. About eighteen variables were found to contribute in spatial predictive occurrence of myiasis causing flies. Precipitation variables enhanced the model predictive power with (57.7%) in Jackknife test. Besides, elevation, NDVI and tree cover shared reduced effect in predicting myiasis causing flies distribution.
Factors Governing Organic Amendments and NPK Fertilizers Effects on Sweet Maize in Old and Intensively Cultivated Experimental Farm
Authors: Pulunggono Heru Bagus , Moh Zulfajrin  , Lina Lathifah Nurazizah
Published: August 2023

Applying organic amendment (OA) containing humic compounds (HC) and phytohormones is a promising solution to intensify sustainable food production under increasing global food needs, declining environmental carrying capacity and changing climate. However, most positive claims on OA efficacy often came from controlled, greenhouse experiments. The field trial was conducted on an intensively cultivated experimental farm station, Department of Soil Science and Land Resources, Faculty of Agriculture, IPB University. The OA testing was done on sweet maize (Zea mays L. saccharata) using a fractional factorial randomized block design by comparing five rates of the organic amendment (0, ½, 1, 1½, and 2 standards OA) with three rates of NPK fertilizer (0, 1, and ¾ standards NPK). The results revealed that a single OA application did not significantly boost the growth and biomass of sweet maize, especially when applied to an old and intensively cultivate and organically manured farm. OA had significant interaction with NPK at most of the yields and biomass parameters. Amending soils more than 12 L OA ha-1 could improve the sweet maize’s growth and development while saving 25% NPK fertilizers. Linear mixed effect model and multivariate analysis uncovered higher heterogeneity in trial plots controlled maize growth, biomass, and agronomic effectivity, regardless of the given treatments. This study highlighted three important marks for future research: (1) soil plowing, harrowing and mixing must be intensively done across plots, (2) adequate HC contents must be increased from the OA current rate, and (3) the greater role of phytohormone in stimulating maize growth and production at the OA current rate.

Authors: Alrabiti Osama B. Muragaa , Çetin Mehmet
Published: August 2023

Biocomfort, which is shaped depending on the suitability of climate parameters, is an important criterion that affects people's comfort, peace, happiness and performance, as well as their health. Therefore, determining suitable areas in terms of biocomfort and using them as a base in the planning of residential areas is of great importance in terms of both human health and happiness and energy efficiency. In this study, suitable areas in terms of wind, temperature, relative humidity and biocomfort, which shape the biocomfort situation in Ordu, which is one of the largest cities in Turkey and whose population is constantly increasing, were determined on a monthly basis. As a result of the study, it has been determined that the wind speed, temperature and relative humidity parameters that are the subject of the study prevent the formation of biocomfort areas to a large extent. While the wind speed causes the formation of uncomfortable areas in January, February, March, April, October, November and December, there are areas where the temperature is below 15 °C in many months, and high humidity causes the formation of uncomfortable areas every month. Suitable areas in terms of biocomfort account for 0.4% of the surface area of Ordu in May, 1.36% in June, 1.45% in July, 1.77% in August, and 8.06% in September. In January, February, March, April, November and December, the entire province is within the scope of uncomfortable areas.

Authors: Aisha Adel Easa Saad Abo , Çetin Mehmet
Published: August 2023

Air pollution has become a global problem that affects the health of millions of people every year. Among the air pollutants, heavy metals are particularly infamous as they tend to bioaccumulate, can be toxic to human health even at low concentrations, and that even those that are necessary for living things as nutrients can be harmful at high concentrations. Boron (B), a microelement, is both extremely dangerous and important for human health, as it can cause toxic effects when used more or less. As with other heavy metals, the ingestion of B through the respiratory tract is extremely harmful to health. It is very important to monitor the change of B concentration in the air and reduce the pollution level. In order to contribute to the studies in this field, the change of B concentrations in some indoor plants grown in controlled, smoking and traffic environments was determined within the scope of this study. The results of the study showed that camel sole, diphenbahya, drasena, chiefera and yukka species are quite suitable for monitoring the change of B concentrations in the air. It has been determined that the most suitable species that can be used to reduce B pollution in the air are rubber and spatiphyllium.

Authors: DJANA Loic Rebnodji , Güngör Şahin
Published: August 2023

At the core of our growing societies, energy supply stands as one of the major concerns today, and it will be an inevitable challenge for our near future. As the nations are looking to find solutions for the transition from fossil fuels – depleting at a high rate – to alternative energy sources, solar energy through PV cells is getting attention as an affordable and easily implemented option especially for power supply in commercial and residential buildings. This work consists in analyzing the possibility to cover the entire energy needs of a building via PV solar cells for the case of a constructed daycare. In this case study, HVAC energy requirement has been calculated by the TS825 standard. The standard specifies a method for calculating the net heating/ventilation energy need and provides the rules for calculating the maximum allowable temperature in buildings. First, dimensions of the investigated building are taken and characteristics affecting the thermal insulation are assessed. Then, other energy needs, mainly lighting and electrical devices, are computed in the analysis as internal electricity needs. The scope of this work extends to the assessment of indoor air quality for occupants of building, which is an important aspect in our case study where the occupants are children. ASHRAE standards 62.1 is utilized for this purpose. The standard specifies minimum ventilation rates and other measures intended to provide acceptable indoor air quality to human occupants and that minimizes adverse health effects. The results are obtained for monthly varying solar exposition in the specified area where the building is located to provide supply for the determined energy demand via solar energy. Finally, monocrystalline PV panel system has been proposed with proper orientation and adequate power potential. Based on the obtained results, as well as the economical aspect, inferences and suggestions are made for improvements.

Authors: Lata Pandey Lawanya , Dongre Nirmal
Published: August 2023

Context: A new, simple, selective, and affordable HPTLC technique for the analysis of donepezil hydrochloride (DH) and its associated compounds was developed and verified in accordance with ICH guidelines. Method: Donepezil Hydrochloride and Related Substances were densitometrically analyzed in the absorbance mode at 320 nm. The stationary phase was 60 F—254 silica gel pre-coated on aluminium TLC plates. Butanol, water, and glacial acetic acid were the components of the mobile phase (4:5:1, v/v/v). Result: It was discovered that this method provides compact places for DH (RF 0.53± 0.03) .Testing for stability indicators (force degradation) was done in acidic and alkaline conditions, as well as with dry heat and photodegradation. The degradation products were clearly distinguished from the pure drug by their markedly differing RF values. For Validation of method linearity, precision, robustness, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), ruggedness, and accuracy parameters are verified. LOD and LOQ were found to be 80.85 and 245 ng per spot, respectively, and linearity was found in the range 400-1200 ng per spot with a considerably high value of the correlation coefficient r2 = 0.999 is found. A 0.43% coefficient of variance is discovered. Conclusion: The approach was repeatable and specific for estimating donepezil hydrochloride and related compounds, according to statistical analysis Donepezil Hydrochloride can be quantified even when there are degraded products and related compounds present. It is commercially available for the estimation of related compounds and Donepezil hydrochloride.

Authors: Patil Shailesh , A. Khan Mohammed , Langade R.A. , Jarag R. J.
Published: August 2023

This highlights the significance of early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis, a significant cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. While blood culturing is the gold standard, inflammatory markers such as CRP, IL-6, and procalcitonin can aid in early diagnosis, particularly when using umbilical cord blood sampling. Maternal risk factors, including fever and prolonged labor, increase the risk of neonatal sepsis. Respiratory distress, lethargy, and feed intolerance are common presentations. The most frequently isolated organisms are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, and Klebsiella pneumonia. Combining inflammatory markers is recommended for better diagnosis, and timely detection of neonatal sepsis can reduce morbidity and mortality.

Published: August 2023

The Song River in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India, travels from Dhanaulti to Narendra Nagar and originates as a spring-fed stream on the southern slopes of the Himalayan range's Radi Top of Missouri ridge. Fungi are the principal decomposers and work with bacteria in the environment, thus actively participating in the circulation of environmental nutrient cycles such as nitrogen and phosphorus. The aim of this research is the Isolation and screening of Aqua-borne fungi from different locations of Song River. Twenty water samples were gathered from several locations of song rivers in a 1-liter sterile bottle and used 500 mg, Chloramphenicol to inhibit the growth of bacteria, and 1ml and 0.1 ml water samples were poured into PDA, SDA, Rose Bengal agar Medium and the poured plate incubated 4-10 days for fungi growth. After that, the pure culturing method and microscopic observation with Lacto cotton blue strain were used. We reported some species of fungi Rhodotorula sp. 45%, A. Candidus 70%, Rhizopus sp. 35%, A. Niger 85%, and A. flavus 75%, are found in the Song River sites. One of the most recent discoveries on fungus that demands special attention is the frequency of emerging and opportunistic infections in raw water sources. Because fungus can impact water quality in a number of ways, the microbiota of water should be considered when assessing the microbiological safety and quality of drinking water.

Authors: Zubeir Kombo Hassan , Mehdi Seema , Krishna K L , Fatima Roohi Tamsheel
Published: August 2023

Stroke is one of the roots of disabilities and deaths. Generally, strokes are put into two groups (i.e., ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke). Once the flow of blood to the brain is stopped or insufficient, the cells are short of oxygen and nutrients which results in a stroke via the mechanism of neuronal cell death. Signs of stroke might vary, including ace flipping, weakened limbs, speech problem, vision change, body imbalance, misperception, and cognition loss. The burden of stroke not only faces the patient and medical workforce but also family members and the community. People with sickle cell disease might face a stroke in their life due to the interlink between sickle cell disease and stroke. In this review, we discussed stroke, its types, mechanisms of neuronal cell death, the association between stroke and sickle cell disease, and therapeutical interventions. The future direction requires the efforts and contribution of each person to ensure that there are less or no disabilities and/or death which caused by the incidence of stroke.
Pharmacokinetic Drug-Drug Interactions: A Systematic Review of the Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Isoenzyme 3A4
Authors: Ainurofiq Ahmad , Ismaya Lutvi
Published: August 2023

The cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzyme 3A4 or CYP3A4 is a major drug-metabolizing enzyme that has the potential to cause pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions. Primary research studies have demonstrated CYP3A4-mediated drug-drug interactions through a variety of mechanisms. However, there has been no review during the last 10 years of pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions mediated by CYP3A4 isoenzymes. It is necessary to systematically review the pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions mediated by CYP3A4. Source review of articles were retrieved from the PubMed and Scopus databases. The preparation of keywords through the population, intervention, comparison, and outcomes (PICO) method written based on the Boolean operator. Reporting the results of the paper search is presented in the Prisma version 1 2020 flowchart. The risk of bias assessment used COHORT tools and Systematic Review Center for Laboratory Animal Experimentation (SYRCLE) tools. Data was analyzed narratively. Pharmacokinetic drug interactions are mediated by CYP3A4 through the mechanism of induction, activation, inhibition, and inactivation. Induction or activation of CYP3A4 can cause an increase in CYP3A4 expression, so that the drug is metabolized more quickly and has the potential to lose drug efficacy. Inhibition and inactivation of CYP3A4 causes plasma drug levels to increase and drug elimination time to last longer. CYP3A4 plays a major role in the bioactivation of drugs that cause hepatotoxicity through the formation of reactive metabolites. The use of drugs needs to be monitored to avoid pharmacokinetic drug interactions.

The primary purpose of developing mechanism for delivering controlled-release medicines to the mouth is to hold on the medication as long as feasible in the body. The research and development of innovative medication systems of delivery has progressed scientifically and technologically in recent years. Tablets, capsules, pills, laminated films, floating microspheres, granules, and powders are examples of gastro-retentive dose forms. The homogeneous distribution of these dosage forms within the stomach, resulting in more consistent drug absorption and a lower risks of local discomfort, has made floating microballoons increasingly popular. So far, various approaches have been discovered for modification of these microballoons such as Floating system, System with high density, ion exchange resin, system with osmotic control, .expandable or swelling system and many more. These approaches play an important role as Compared to single-unit dose forms and such systems offer more advantages. Microballoons promote patient compliance by increasing medicine bioavailability, decreasing drug excretion, regulation of drug delivery. Micro-balloons are free-flowing spherical powders with a diameter of 1-1000 µm. Proteins or synthetic polymers are used to create it. The current pharmaceutical foundation of their design, advantages, limitations method of Formulation, classification, assessment procedure, factors affecting their formulation, and in vitro parameters are summarised in this review study.

COVID-19 is a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 and since 2020 has become a pandemic by affecting at least millions of people with a mortality rate of over 4 million worldwide. COVID-19 has fourteen drug targets with main protease (Mpro) as the most potential enzyme for inhibition. There is a catalytic dyad in Mpro which is the main key to determine the inhibitory potential of a ligand in COVID-19. Currently, the drug for Mpro inhibition in COVID-19 has not been found. Many articles have been published discussing the interaction and inhibitory potential of drugs against Mpro in COVID-19, so it is necessary to draw a conclusion to select drug candidates with the best potency. PMC and ScienceDirect are two databases used for article screening. Research using molecular docking simulation of Mpro with Gibbs energy parameters and the interaction between the ligand and Mpro is the focus of this review. Compounds that achieve the docking parameters are carefully ranked. There are 28 articles with a total of 118 compounds that achieve the docking parameters ranked. The top three compounds were dihydroergotoxine (ΔG = -10.14kcal/mol), imatinib (ΔG = -10.12kcal/mol), and hyaluronic acid (ΔG = -13.54 kcal/mol) with the highest binding mode and inhibitory potential on catalytic dyads. These compounds need to be considered for further research.

Ibn al-Arabiy Abu Bakr Mukhammad is a scholar of mysticism the great philosopher, theologian, the poet, one of the greatest philosophers of the philosophy of the Irfon, influenced by Hakim At-Termizi’s views, known in the Muslim East as “Sheikh ul-Akbar” – “The Greatest Sheikh” (1165-1240) reached its highest level through the theosophical teachings of God. Ibn al-Arabi’s Theory of Wahdat ul-wujud - the Unity of Being and the Theory of the Perfect Man has encompassed the entire Muslim East and has had a positive effect on the views of Western philosophers as well. Also, the Tariqat (of mysticism was founded by Hodja Yusuf Hama-dani and Hodja Abdul Khaliq Gijduvani (1103-1218). The doctrine that united the regions spiritually is also influenced by Ibn al-Arabi’s philosophy of Wahdat ul-wujud. The great thinkers and thinkers of Khoja Muhammad Porso Bukhari, Khoja Ubaydullah Akhror Waliy, Mawlana Abdurakhman Jomi, Alisher Navo'i, Khoja Makhdum Agzam and Ahmad Sarhindi developed the idea of Wahdat ul-wujud with the Nakshbandism.
The Development of Gender Term System: Performative Function
Authors:   Uzbek State  World Languаges University, Ergasheva Guli
Published: August 2023

The fact that the world linguistics deals with anthropocentric paradigm urges the study of the issues related to gender terminology standardization and gender discourse implementation. In this regard, challenging the principles of traditional terminology and translation, testing the perspective relevance of cognitive semantics to demonstrate a language potential in the world conceptualization and categorization through gender discourse lens, revealing linguistic and extra-linguistic factors in the formation of a gender terminology system is of high importance. The article deals with linguistic and extra-linguistic factors in the formation of gender term system - as a cognitive structure providing an effective communication on human rights discourse. The performative function of gender terms, their oriented feature – from words to the actions has been substantiated on the examples of official documents.

Published: August 2023

In the countries of the Muslim East in the Middle Ages, the art of a manuscript book developed particularly. The creation of the manuscript, which requires valuable materials, painstaking and coordinated work of many masters, turned the book not only into spiritual, but also material value. Therefore, those who ordered it were wealthy people – rulers and the feudal nobility, rich, educated citizens. The main elements of the decoration of the pages of the medieval manuscripts of Iran and Central Asia of the 13-17th centuries were: bookplates, enclosed in multi-petal, multi-beam rosettes – “shams”; unvan-title page, frontispieces (zaravarak) – richly ornamented opening pages, as well as numerous ornamental motifs that adorn the calligraphic text and page margins themselves. Moreover, one of the types of decor was the paper itself, on which the manuscript was rewritten.The article discusses common techniques for decorating manu-script pages, reveals the semantics of their elements.
12 Labours Seminar Series (EP1): Pulmonary Hypertension
Authors: Khwaounjoo Prashanna , Chan Ho-Fung
Published: August 2023

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a debilitating progressive disease characterised by abnormally high pulmonary blood pressures, leading to heart failure and, eventually, death. 12 Labours’ Exemplar Project 1 is focused on improving the diagnosis and phenotyping of PH disease through patient-specific models that are carefully calibrated to clinical imaging and physiological measurements. The personalised digital models can be used to uncover new potential treatment strategies for PH disease management. Our initial studies have established a modelling workflow to evaluate response to treatment in a chronic thromboembolic PH patient cohort for whom surgical treatment is an option. Here we present some of the results of this pilot study, outline how this pipeline can be applied to other cardiovascular conditions, and future studies that will build on this work.

Availability And Profit Analysis Of A PVC Manufacturing Plant (A Case Study Of Hisar District)
Authors: Rohit  , Poonia Dr. Mahender Singh
Published: August 2023

For the current investigation, one has selected the Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) industry located in the Hisar District. PVC plants are only regarded as commercially viable when all four units are in good operating condition. When all four of the system's parts are in good operating order, the system operates at its peak efficiency. When three of the four units are operational, it operates at a reduced capacity. When two or more units fail, the system is said to be in a failed condition. There are separate rates of continuous failure and repair for each of the four units. There is always one repairman available. With the aid of accurate scenarios, it is still necessary to determine how disappointment/repair rates affect the MTSF, accessibility, and server at a busy time.
