Authors: Pratim Das Partha
Published: June 2024

Dyeing has been around for centuries and plays a significant role in everyday life. The dye companies initially relied on naturally grown plants and animal resources before quickly switching to artificial methods of production. Sadly, a number of artificial dyes, particularly azo dyes, have recently been shown to be poisonous and harmful and are now outlawed globally. However, azo dyes are still used and produced nowadays for their affordability and additional desired qualities. The realisation that azo dyes make up over sixty percent of all dye systems known to be produced shows the significance of azo dyes. These dyes' chemistry encompasses straightforward monoazo molecules to intricate polyazo complexes with large molecular weights and as a result, their characteristics also differ. Azo dyes are frequently utilised in a range of sectors, including those that produce food, medicines, paper, beauty products, fabrics, leather, and others. We have provided an in-depth description of the history of dyes and various classifications of azo dyes in this chapter as a function of the quantity of azo units and the associated groups for functionality. Then we discussed the chemical characteristics of these dyes, including their reactive nature, isomerization, tautomerism, etc. We provide a summary of several recentazo dye preparations. We emphasized about the Gewald reaction's basic idea and how it relates to the production new azo dyes.

Published: June 2024

For the past two decades, protein-protein interactions (PPIs), which carry out a variety of essential physiological processes, have been important therapeutic targets. It has been extremely difficult to interfere with intracellular PPIs with small molecules because antibodies cannot penetrate the cell membrane to access bigger or flat binding sites. Due to their smaller size and balanced structural toughness and flexibility, peptides have recently become intriguing candidates for overcoming challenging binding surfaces. The development of peptide-based tactics to disrupt endogenous protein interactions or the enhancement of the binding affinity and specificity of current approaches depends on our understanding of and ability to manipulate peptide-protein recognition mechanisms. It is significant to note that numerous sensible designs with the aid of computing for Peptide therapies have been developed with the goal of providing thorough docking for peptide-protein interaction interfaces. Over 60 peptides have received universal approval for use in clinics. Despite this, improvements of different docking models are just beginning to affect the creation of peptide drugs. In this book chapter two things have been emphasised (i) a comprehensive analysis of the essential technologies used so far in the creation of peptide drugs, and (ii) an updated summary of significant advancements in computational modelling of peptide-protein interactions (PepPIs) with the goal of assisting experimental biologists in advancing peptide interfering tactics against PPIs by helping them use appropriate docking methods.

Authors: P Dr. Manasa
Published: June 2024

In recent years, plant cell culture-based nutritional supplements and cosmetics have extensively gained potential in nutraceuticals and cosmetology as they are pesticide-free sources of plant extracts. Any stress on plant tissue results in the creation of a callus, an unorganized cell mass. Not only did remarkable innovations and new methods in tissue culture improve pluripotent cells, but they also enhanced callus cells, which are grown from meristematic cells found in shoot tips, cambial cells, and root tips. Improved plant callus cells enable a large increase in the generation of secondary metabolites. One such fruit with a high natural phytochemical content and three times as many antioxidants as green tea is Punica granatum. Due to its high concentration of polyphenols and anti-ageing qualities, the current health and cosmetic markets have found that this nutrient-dense fruit may treat a wide range of difficult ailments. For effective scaling up of phytochemical extraction from improved callus cells, this paper has standardized the procedure for pomegranate-enhanced callus cell synthesis. The pomegranate node explant worked best for inducing calluses. The most effective medium for callus development was Murashige and Skoog media supplemented with 3% sucrose and 1 mg 2,4 D. It had the greatest induction rate (96%), the best callus growth, and the lowest contamination detected following sterilization treatment at 5 min with mercuric chloride. The sixth day of the culture cycle saw the observation of the ideal growth index. The use of elicitors in the suspension culture of P. granatum-improved callus cells was discovered to be a simple method for creating pomegranate-improved callus cells and enhancing the production of beneficial phytochemicals.

Published: June 2024

Pest problems in agriculture have changed dramatically in the first decade of the 21st century due to changes in ecosystems and technology. Biological pest control is accepted as an effective, environmentally friendly, efficient, economical and social pest control method. Its purpose is to prevent pests by using crop pests or natural enemies of other pests (parasites, predators and pathogens). Genetic engineering is now widely used in many areas of agriculture (including pest control). Growth potential, short lifespan, and relative ease of growth are advantages that can be used to control pests. Equally important is the enormous genetic plasticity of insects (see evolution of resistance) and their genetics, resulting both in the native breed and from the various mutagens exposed to them. To increase their effectiveness as biocontrol agents of arthropod natural enemies, genetic engineering requires the identification of beneficial effects, the genes that influence these behaviors, and the development of ideas for incorporating them into natural enemies so that genes can work. It is necessary to teach and transfer it to generations firmly. Lack of knowledge of the genetic basis for the inheritance of essential traits in beneficial organisms makes intelligence directed reproduction difficult and lengthy. Sufficient genetic diversity must be achieved to ensure that the traits necessary for selection are available. Natural enemy is identified as a good biological control agent, their limitation is influenced by an important gene available through selection, mutagenesis or cloning, health and wellness controls, and disease releases.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in clinical trials research, with a focus on improving the design and conduct of trials, as well as increasing access to trial data. One area of clinical trials research that has received significant attention in the use of the real-world data (RWD) and real – world evidence (RWE) in clinical trials. RWD refers to data collected outside of traditional clinical trial settings, such as electronic health records, claims data, and patient–generated data. RWE refers to the insights gained from the analysis of RWD, which can be used to inform clinical trial design and improve patient outcomes. Another area of clinical trials research is the development of innovative trial designs, such as adaptive trials, which allow for changes in the study design based on interim results. Adaptive trials can help to reduce the time and cost of drug development, while also improving the accuracy of trial results. There is also a growing focus on patient-centred clinical trials, which aim to incorporate patient perspectives and preferences into trial design and conduct. Patient-centred trials can help to improve recruitment and retention, as well as increase patient engagement and satisfaction. Finally, there is a need for greater transparency and accessibility in clinical trials research. This includes making trial data more readily available to researchers and the public, as well as improving the reporting of trial results.
RELIABILITY ANALYSIS OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS WITH STOCHASTIC DEPENDENCIES
Authors: Sahu Kanti
Published: June 2024

Reliability assessment of complex systems with interdependent components is crucial for ensuring their performance and minimizing unexpected failures. In such systems, the behaviour and reliability of individual components are influenced by stochastic dependencies, where failures or performance degradation in one component can propagate to others. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of reliability in complex systems using stochastic modelling and analysis techniques. The study begins by discussing the importance of considering stochastic dependencies in reliability analysis and the challenges associated with modelling and analyzing such systems. Various mathematical models, including fault trees, reliability block diagrams, and Bayesian networks, are explored to capture the interdependencies among components. Stochastic processes, such as Markov processes and stochastic Petri nets, are introduced as powerful tools for characterizing the dynamic behavior of complex systems. Uncertainty quantification plays a crucial role in reliability analysis, as it enables the assessment of the impact of various uncertain parameters on system performance. The paper investigates probabilistic distributions for component failures, repair times, and environmental conditions to incorporate uncertainty into the reliability models. Techniques like Monte Carlo simulation and rare event simulation are employed to estimate the probability of system failure, mean time to failure, and other relevant reliability metrics. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to identify critical components or factors that significantly influence system reliability. By quantifying the sensitivity of reliability measures to changes in input parameters, decision-makers can focus on improving the reliability of crucial components or optimizing maintenance strategies to enhance overall system performance. Furthermore, the integration of reliability analysis with optimization techniques is discussed. This allows for identifying cost-effective strategies for system improvement, such as component redundancy allocation, maintenance scheduling, or performance optimization. The research presented in this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of reliability analysis in complex systems with stochastic dependencies. The insights gained from this analysis can aid in making informed decisions to enhance system reliability, mitigate risks, and optimize resource allocation in various industries such as transportation, energy, telecommunications, aerospace, and manufacturing. By considering the stochastic nature of dependencies, researchers and practitioners can ensure the robustness and resilience of complex systems in the face of uncertainties.

Authors: Divya S.
Published: June 2024

Generalized treatment on investigation of resonant plasma dynamics is carried out in non-isothermal weakly collisional plasma to study the in-situ evolution of plasma current densities due to propagation of moderate intensity pico-second (ps) lasers. The resonance condition for generation of maximized non-linear plasma current is obtained and further tuned in a controlled manner. Treatment is nonrelativistic as lasers are moderately intense and laser strength parameter is less than unity i.e. a << 1. In this regime, ponderomotive nonlinearity is dominated over nonlocal heat transport. The effect of collision frequency, resonant frequency and thermal motion of plasma electrons on dielectric constant of plasma and subsequent plasma current densities are analyzed through adjustment and fine tuning of plasma density ripples in a controlled manner.

Published: June 2024

Spor yönetiminde liderlik kavramı, yönetim ve liderlik kavramlarının spor alanındaki önemli yansımalarını incelemektedir. Literatürde yönetim kavramı, örgütlerin amaçlarına etkili bir biçimde ulaşmalarını sağlayan bir faaliyet olarak tanımlanmaktadır ve planlama, örgütlenme, üretme, koordinasyon ve denetim gibi faaliyetleri içine almaktadır. Spor, bir yandan bireylerin sosyal etkileşimlerini artırırken diğer yandan da liderlik ve sosyal gelişimlerine katkı sağlar. Spor organizasyonlarında da her zaman yönetim ilkeleri geçerlidir; planlama, örgütlenme ve denetim gibi işlevler organizasyonlarda büyük önem taşımaktadır. Spor yönetimi, kaynak yönetimi ve stratejik planlama süreçlerini içerirken aynı zamanda da spor organizasyonlarının başarıya ulaşması için büyük önem taşır. Liderlik kavramı, bireyleri hedeflerine ulaşmaları için yönlendirme ya da ikna etme becerisi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Liderler, stratejik düşünebilen bireyler olarak günlük sorunları çözerken, yöneticiler ise örgüt yapısını şekillendirerek belirli amaçlara ulaşmaya çalışmaktadırlar. Sonuç olarak, spor yönetiminde liderlik, spor organizasyonlarının etkili bir biçimde yönetilerek başarıya ulaşması için büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu durum, hem yönetim ilkelerinin hem de liderlik becerilerinin spor alanında uygulanmasını gerektirir. Bu çalışma da spor yönetiminde liderlik için anahtar noktalar özetlenmeye çalışılmış, böylece spor yönetimi ve liderlik arasındaki ilişki vurgulanmıştır. Her iki kavramın da spor alanında ne kadar önemli olduğu ve başarılı bir spor organizasyonu için nasıl bir araya gelmeleri gerektiği belirtilmeye çalışılmıştır.

İnsanların toplu halde bir arada yaşamaları ve örgütlenmeleri onların yönetme ve yönetilme gerekliliğini beraberinde getirmiştir. Sosyal yaşantımız içerisinde karmaşık bir yapıya sahip olan yönetim kavramı birçok alanda kendisine yer bulmaktadır. Yönetim, belirli birtakım amaçlara ulaşmak için başta insanlar olmak üzere parasal kaynakları, donanımı, demirbaşları, hammaddeleri, yardımcı malzemeleri ve zamanı birbiriyle uyumlu, verimli ve etkin kullanabilme sürecidir. Günümüz dünyasının globalleşmesi ile meydana gelmiş olan farklılıklar sonucunda ekonomik, teknolojik, siyasal ve sosyal alanlarda da gelişmeler yaşanmış ve bu gelişmeler sonucunda klasik yönetim anlayışları üzerinde değişikliğe gidilmiştir. Sporun gelişimi bireylerin gelişimiyle paralel bir çizgide ilerlemiş ve değişikliğe uğramıştır. Bu değişimler sporun yönetim alanında da kendini göstermiştir.
Spor sektörü, dünya genelinde milyonlarca insana iş kapısı sağlamakta, dünya çapında oynanan veya izlenen oyunlar dünya nüfusunun çoğunluğu ve elit ya da profesyonel düzeyde spor yapan sporcu veya izleyici için önemli bir endüstri olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Ayrıca spor sektörü geliştikçe, ilgi ve katılım artmıştır. Bu gelişim zaman içerisinde farklı beklentileri ortaya çıkarmıştır. Spor sektörünün büyüme hızı, sporun tüketimi, üretimi ve yönetiminde değişiklikler bu duruma örnek olarak gösterilebilir.
Yönetim alanında birçok yaklaşım geçmişten günümüze hakimiyetini sürdürmektedir. Spor yönetimi açısından ele alındığında; spor pazarlaması kavramı, sporun kurum bazında finans yapısı ve sporu endüstriyelleştiren kariyer yolları gibi farklı yönleri bulunmaktadır. Spor yöneticilerinin ortaya koydukları yönetim teknik ve teorileri, diğer örgüt yöneticileri ile benzerlik gösterir. Fakat stratejik yönetim kavramını spor başlığı adı altında incelediğinde, organizasyon yapısı, insan kaynakları idaresi, liderlik ve organizasyon kültürü açısından spor organizasyonlarının yönetimi hususunda değişiklik göstermektedir. Bu farklılıklar sporun kendisine özgü yapısından kaynaklanmaktadır.
Bu çalışmada çeşitli güncel yönetim yaklaşımları baz alınarak bu yaklaşımların spordaki yeri üzerine araştırmalar yapılmıştır.

Vücut Yapısı Haritası: Heath-Carter Somatotip Teorisi'nin Pratik Uygulamaları
Authors: Shahidi Seyed Houtan
Published: June 2024

Somatotip, bir bireyin fiziksel yapısını belirlemek için kullanılan bir yöntemdir ve genellikle üç rakamlı bir derecelendirme ile ifade edilir. Bu derecelendirme, endomorfi, mezomorfi ve ektomorfi olmak üzere üç bileşeni içerir. Endomorfi, yağlılık düzeyiyle ilgilidir; mezomorfi, kas ve kemik sağlamlığı ile ilişkilidir; ve ektomorfi, vücut yapısının doğrusallığını veya inceliğini yansıtır. Somatotiplendirme, sporda ve egzersiz biliminde çeşitli önemli kullanım alanlarına sahiptir. Öncelikle, bireylerin fiziksel yapılarını anlamak ve değerlendirmek, antrenman programlarını kişiselleştirmek için önemlidir. Örneğin, bir kişinin somatotipi, hangi spor dalında daha fazla başarı elde edebileceğini belirlemeye yardımcı olabilir. Örneğin, daha yüksek bir mezomorf derecesine sahip bir birey, kuvvet gerektiren sporlarda daha fazla başarı gösterebilirken, daha yüksek bir ektomorf derecesine sahip bir birey, dayanıklılık gerektiren sporlarda daha iyi performans gösterebilir. Ayrıca, somatotip, sporcuların fiziksel gelişimini izlemek ve değişiklikleri anlamak için de kullanılır. Bir sporcu antrenman yaparken veya büyüme ve yaşlanma süreçlerinden geçerken, somatotip değişikliklerine göre antrenman programlarını ayarlamak mümkün olabilir. Sonuç olarak, somatotip, spor ve egzersiz biliminde bireylerin fiziksel yapılarını anlamak, antrenman programlarını kişiselleştirmek ve sporcuların fiziksel gelişimini izlemek için önemli bir araçtır. Bu nedenle, somatotiplendirme, spor bilimcileri, antrenörler ve sağlık uzmanları tarafından sıklıkla kullanılan bir yöntemdir.

Karanlık üçlü kişilik özellikleri, bireylerin manipülatif, bencil ve duygusuz davranışlar sergilemesine yol açabilmektedir. Bu tür özelliklere sahip yöneticiler, spor organizasyonlarında toksik liderlik davranışları gösterebilmektedirler.
Toksik liderlik, çalışanların moralini bozarak, takım içi uyumu zedeleyerek ve genel performansı olumsuz yönde etkileyerek ciddi sonuçlara yol açan bir unsurdur.  Spor yönetimi perspektifinden karanlık üçlü kişilik özellikleri ile toksik liderlik davranışları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenebilmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilen bu kitap bölümünde, özellikle, spor yöneticileri açısından, narsizm, makyavelizm ve psikopati kişilik özellikleri ile toksik liderlik davranış tarzı arasındaki ilişki incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, karanlık üçlü kişilik özellikleri ve toksik liderlik arasındaki dinamiklerin anlaşılması, hem spor organizasyonlarının daha sürdürülebilir ve başarılı hem de bu alanda görev alan yöneticilerin davranış biçimlerine katkılar sunacağı düşünülmektedir.
