Authors: Silva Maria Ines , Abuhassan Qamar , Pyper Kate , Khadra Ibrahim , Halbert Gavin
Published: August 2023

Thisstudy applies biorelevant fasted and fed simulated intestinal media (SIM) to comparethe solubility of griseofulvin, ibuprofen, and dipyridamole to investigate theprediction of food effects. These media cover over 90% of the human intestinalfluid variation in each state providing a comprehensive solubility range invitro. The results highlight that ibuprofen is unaffected by food but dipyridamoleand griseofulvin show an increased solubility in the fed state, suggesting positivefood effects in line with in vivo literature data. Drugs with solubility limitedabsorbable dose (SLAD) lower or close to the oral dose are more likely to presenta food effect, thus SLAD analysis could aid the prediction of food effects. Thisapproach may be applied in early drug development as a preliminary predictiontool.

Pemahaman Ketaatan Kepada Pemimpin Menurut Ibrani 13:17
Authors: Eveline Sjanette
Published: August 2023

Obedience or obedience is an attitude that is subject to authority, carrying out what is ordered, obeying what is demanded or keeping away from what is prohibited. Obedience issues are related to regulations. Humans prefer disobedience, if there are rules to obey, so violations occur here. This has happened since in the Garden of Eden. And it continues to grow in various aspects of life to date. Obedience is a decision to serve the obedient leader. Service and obedience are two things that are side by side like Siamese twins. Through expressions that contain teaching that is so strict, that if someone likes to serve or feels called in a certain field of service, but has a rebellious heart to the leader, it is showing a failure to understand the meaning of a service. Obedience of the servants is clearly very instrumental in solving the problem that is happening.

Abstrak Indonesia

Taat atau ketaatan adalah sikap yang tunduk kepada wewenang, menjalankan apa yang diperintahkan, mematuhi apa yang dituntut atau menjauhkan diri dari apa yang dilarang. Persoalan ketaatan terkait dengan peraturan. Manusia lebih suka tidak taat, jikalau ada aturan supaya taat, sehingga terjadilah pelanggaran di sini. Ini telah terjadi sejak di Taman Eden. Dan terus berkembang dalam aneka segi kehidupan sampai saat ini. Ketaatan itu merupakan keputusan untuk mau melayani pemimpin yang ditaati tersebut. Pelayanan dan ketaatan adalah dua hal yang berdampingan seumpama kembar siam. Melalui ungkapan yang mengandung pengajaran yang begitu ketat, bahwa jikalau seseorang suka melayani atau merasa terpanggil dalam bidang pelayanan tertentu, namun memiliki hati yang suka berontak kepada sang pemimpinnya, itu sedang menunjukkan adanya kegagalan dalam memahami arti sebuah pelayanan. Ketaatan para pelayan ini jelas sangat berperan dalam penyelesaian masalah yang sedang terjadi.

Taking Soft Law Into Account... of Course! But What Does That Concretely Mean?
Authors: Liguori Francesco
Published: August 2023

This study attempts to verify what concretely the Grimaldi doctrine entails for national courts. According to this landmark decision, a national court is bound to take European soft law into account when adjudicating disputes. Although more than 30 years have passed since its adoption,
its role in the domestic legal order still appears ambiguous. In the hope of highlighting what the Court had meant to state, this paper intends to grasp the real implications of this leading case. First, in order to outline the scope of the duty enshrined by the Court, some aspects will be
examined, such as the addressees of the doctrine, the types of EU soft law measures involved, and the legal basis of this obligation. Secondly, while bearing in mind what some have argued, namely that Grimaldi imposes either a duty of consistent interpretation or a duty of effort, this article
intends to suggest a third way, which is the 'soft duty to apply' EU soft law. This obligation, of course, is not to be understood in the narrow sense of the word and varies in intensity depending on the situations in which national courts find themselves. In this respect, it will be appropriate
to explore what implications these measures entail for domestic courts and what the latter should concretely do when dealing with EU soft law instruments. Finally, this study identifies the possible consequences of the 'soft duty to apply' EU soft law in the framework of the dialogue between
courts by focusing on the dynamics governing the procedure under Article 267 TFEU and accordingly suggesting the applicability of Foto-Frost and CILFIT doctrines to proceedings where a source of European soft law is at stake.
Safeguarding the Right to an Effective Remedy in Algorithmic Multi-Governance Systems: An Inquiry in Artificial Intelligence-Powered Informational Cooperation in the EU Administrative Space
Authors: Benjamin Jan
Published: August 2023

This paper focuses on the right to an effective remedy in the public sector when algorithms are used to support decision-making processes. More particularly, the focus will be on how the effectiveness of judicial review can be ensured in such contexts. This paper questions whether effective
judicial review is possible where recommender systems are deployed in a multi-governance system such as the EU administrative space. Since assessing the effectiveness of judicial review requires a caseby-case analysis, the possible deployment of recommender systems in the EU administrative
space, regarding informational cooperation, will serve as a case study. Today, informational cooperation understood in the context of composite procedures is widely used and has evolved from information requests, from one national administration to another, to shared databases and IT systems
used as platforms to exchange information. It is assumed hereafter that the next evolution to these databases and IT systems is the deployment of recommender systems. If these recommender systems are starting to be deployed, compliance of their use with the procedural dimension of the rule
of law and, more particularly, the right to an effective remedy must be complied with.
Association of Dry Eye with Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis: A Hospital-based Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Himabindu Challapalli , Shetty Niharika KriShna
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a common allergic disease seen in children. The allergic component is caused by Immunoglobulin E (IgE) and mast cell-mediated pathway. It is proposed to be a combination of immune system, genetic, and environmental factors. Secondary dry eye develops secondary to inflammatory disease namely vascular, allergic, environmental conditions like allergens, cigarette smoke, hormonal changes, systemic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus, eye surgeries such as refractive surgery and systemic medications, such as diuretics and antihistamines. Co-existence of dry eye and VKC can worsen the symptoms of the patient and may also lead to prolonged and unnecessary treatment of the disease. Aim: To study the association of dry eye with VKC by Schirmer’s test and Tear Film Breakup Time (TBUT). Materials and Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Opthalmology, Sri Siddhartha Medical College and Research Centre, Tumkur, Karnataka, India, from December 2020 to June 2022. Thirtythree patients of age group between 5-20 years with symptoms of VKC were evaluated for dry eye using Schirmer’s test and TBUT, respectively. Each patient was subjected to detailed history taking, followed by ocular examination as per the predesigned proforma. The patients were subjected to the tear film analysis using Schirmer’s test and TBUT. A total of 33 patients were evaluated and the data was compiled. The association between categorical variables were analysed by using Chi-square test. The data was analysed by using Statistical Package fot the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 21.0. The parameters compared were the type of dry eye with the type of VKC. Results: The mean±Standard Deviation (SD) age of the study group was found to be 11±1.5 years. Out of 33 patients, 69.69% of all the cases were seen in the 5-12 years age group. There was male preponderance in the present study with 63.63% of patients being male child. VKC was most commonly seen as mixed accounting for 57.57% of cases. In the current study, it was discovered that 60.6% of cases showed no sign of dry eye, whereas 39.82% of cases had dry eye. The dry eye was more commonly seen in mixed type of VKC. The p-value was statistically significant (p-value<0.001) for association of dry eye with mixed type of VKC. Conclusion: The present study highlighted the co-existence of dry eye with VKC. There was a significant association of dry eye with VKC and type of VKC as well, which might have long-term effects on the ocular surface. These ocular surface alterations exist during active and the quiet phase of VKC. The patients of VKC may need a long-term follow-up and treatment for this ocular surface alteration.

Authors: Kulothungan Karthikeyan , Vignesh K Nawin Jai , Tamilarasan M , Gnanagurubharan JV
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Impulsive behaviour is the urge to act without thinking in any critical situation. Impulsive behaviour and risktaking behaviour in adolescence have the chance of disrupting the balance of their entire lives. Studies and research related to impulsive behaviour are minimal and remain a blind area for any effective interventions to be applied. Aim: To study the prevalence of impulsive behaviour and to determine the factors associated with impulsive behaviour among Medical College Students in Perambalur, Tamil Nadu, India. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 133 medical students of Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Medical College and Hospital in Perambalur, Tamil Nadu, India, from January 2022 to April 2022. All undergraduate students, present in the college at the time of the study, were enrolled in the study. A pre-tested, validated, semi-structured questionnaire was used and the data was collected during the break hours in the morning and afternoon during the college working hours on the weekdays. The obtained data were analysed using statistical tests like paired t-test, unpaired independent t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Results: Total of 133 Medical students (mean age: 21.21±1.58 years, 66 (49.6%) males and 67 (50.4%) females) were included in the study and analysed. The factors such as age (M±SD: 21.21±1.58 years with p-value 0.01), Usage of mobile phone (M±SD: 4.94±2.31 hours with p-value 0.01), fear for exam (M±SD: 2.20±0.58 with p-value 0.03), sleeplessness (M±SD: 2.89±0.59 with p-value 0.001) were associated with impulsive behaviour. Conclusion: The impulsive behaviour of a student is influenced by his fear of exams, his lack of sleep, and his usage of mobile phones. Assessment of a person with impulsive behaviour could help in the better prognosis and early intervention of young adult mental disorders.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between daily food hygiene and acute diarrhea in Medical Students of UKI who live at boarding house. This type of research is analytic - cross-sectional. The population in this study is the student of the medical students of UKI. Determination of the sample in this study was done by probability sampling by using simple random sampling; a total of 100 boarding students living around the UKI were sampled. This study showed that of the 100 students living in boarding houses, 70 had suffered from diarrhea, and the other 30 had never experienced diarrhea. Of 100 students who assessed where they obtained food in a clean state, 26 people assessed the state where they obtained food less clean than 70 people, and the remaining four rated not clean. It is concluded that there is no relationship between everyday food hygiene with acute diarrhea in Medical Students of UKI who live at boarding house.

Soil microbes are involved in many important ecosystem processes including nutrient acquisition, biogeochemical cycling and soil aggregation. Soil microbial diversity affects the soil belowground dynamics and fate of carbon and nutrients. Soil microbes are important for agricultural and plant production systems, hence understanding the effects of agroforestry systems on the soil microbes, is necessary in order to improve on soil health and fertility. The objective of the study was to determine the soil microbial biomass, microbial populations and microbial diversity in maize-banana based agroforestry system. The study was conducted at Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization farm in Kisii County. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with maize and banana intercropped with agroforestry trees. The treatments were; Maize, banana (MMBB), Maize-banana, Calliandra (MBCC), Maize (MM), banana (BB), Maize-banana, Leucaena (MBLL), Maize-banana, Sesbania (MBSS) and Maize, fertilizer (MMF). Soil samples were   collected from the agroforestry ﬁelds using a soil auger. Soil microbial biomass was measured using the chloroform fumigation extraction. Fungi and bacteria were enumerated by serial dilution plate method.Shannon diversity index (H’) and Simpson diversity index (1 - D) were used for the calculation of species diversity. SAS (version 9) statistical software was used for analysis. The treatments with agroforestry tree species had significantly higher soil microbial biomass (MBSS-86.33, MBCC-52.66 and MBLL- 47.0MgC/Kg) populations of bacteria (MBSS-197, MBCC-128.0 and MBLL-111.25x108cfu g-1soil) and fungi (MBSS-50.83, MBCC-29.167 and MBLL-14.0x105cfu g-1 soil) and diversity of bacteria (MBSS- (H' =1.61, D = 1), MBCC- (H' =1.04, D = 0.83), MBLL (H' = 0.52, D = 0.5) and fungi MBSS (H' =1.39, D = 1) MBCC (H' =1.04, D= 0.83), MBLL (H' =1.56, D = 0.93). MBSS increased microbial biomass, microbial populations and microbial diversity significantly an indication of improved soil health and hence recommended for adoption by farmers.

Published: August 2023

The objective of this review was to investigate the effects of drought on cashew and to identify options for cashew adaptation to drought in the aim to maintain and/or improve its productivity in plantation and in agroforestry under climate change in Burkina Faso. The methodology used was the review of the scientific literature through the analyse of the findings of 51 studies to explore the effects of drought on the cashew. Drought is a major factor causing land degradation and limiting crop productivity in the Sahel and particularly in Burkina Faso. The cashew contributes in creating jobs and generating revenues mainly for women employed in the cashew nuts processing units established in Burkina Faso. The cashew sensitivity to drought was reported through changes in some physiological parameters under water stress conditions. In order to maintain and/or improve cashew productivity in plantations and in agroforestry systems and the rural households socio-economic conditions under drought with climate change, it is urgent to develop and implement cashew adaptation options. This manuscript recommended adaptation actions to reduce the vulnerability of the effect of cashew to drought under climate change.

Published: August 2023

Mango gummosis caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae (Pat.) Griffon & Moube [synonym: Botryodiplodia theobromae] is a serious disease in India especially on popular varieties of mango during monsoon and post-monsoon periods. Severe  infection with pathogen  causes up to 30- 100 % yield losses in mango. Gummosis infected orchards shows abundant gum secretion from branches, stem and main trunk and also Vascular discoloration. In severe cases infected mango trees may die. The pathogen produces grey-brown to black  colonies with dense aerial mycelia on the PDA medium. Pycnidia were separate or aggregated, dark brown, thick or thin-walled. Conidiophores were hyaline, cylindrical to sub-obpyriform, with oblong, straight and hyaline single celled conidia andinitially. Gradually the conidia became dark brown and produced one septum with longitudinal striations. The pathogen has wide host range so difficult to manage the disease at field level. There are sevral Management strategies for mango gummosis like resistant or tolerant varieties, effective fungicides, botanicals and effective biological control agents role in disease management. This review attempts to summarize the Knowledge on mango gummosis, symptomotology, pathogen host range, morphological and cultural characters of Lasiodiplodia and management of the disease.

An experiment was conducted with wheat genotypes NWL-14, K-9162, NWL-1014, NWL-12-2, NWL-12-4, NWL-10-4, K-910-30, NWL-4035, DBW-16, DBW-187, NWL-12 (3) T, Halna, HD-2967 to evaluate heat tolerant in wheat at instructional farm and in the laboratory of Crop Physiology & Plant Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, India, during rabi season of 2021-2022. Heat stress was induced by delayed sowing 45 days from normal date of sowing (02 December 2022)-(17 January 2023) so that delay sown wheat genotypes could experience heat stress at reproductive stage. Heat tolerant wheat genotypes screened on the basis of Relative Water Content, Catalase activity, plant height, tiller number, number of grains per spike, test weight and grain yield per plant over control under heat stress condition. Heat stress reduces the the growth and yield irrespective of wheat genotypes but heat tolerant genotypes Halna, NWL-1293)T, NWL 10-2 and NWL-12-4 showed less reduction over susceptible ones. Relative water content, proline and catalase activity can be used as a physiological screening indices for heat tolerant genotypes.

Melia azedarach, a versatile tree belonging to the Meliaceae family, presents a significant challenge in achieving successful seed germination for forest plantations. The robust nature of Melia azedarach seeds necessitates pre-treatments to overcome physical barriers and enhance water absorption. Natural ecosystems often benefit from the symbiotic relationship between Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and plant roots, which promotes survival and growth. This study examined the impact of Glomus mosseae-inoculated soil on Melia azedarach seeds treated with pre-sowing techniques at the Nursery of the Forestry Department, CCSHAU, Hisar in 2019. Glomus mosseae was sown at a rate of 400–500 sporocarps per kg of soil, and its influence was evaluated in terms of physiological parameters, survival rate, root colonization percentage, and sporocarp count. Each replication of the experiment involved 250 seedlings and was repeated five times. Results demonstrated that soils inoculated with Glomus mosseae and treated with gibberellic acid at 200 ppm for 24 hours prior to sowing exhibited significantly higher physiological parameters (chlorophyll and carotenoid content, photosynthesis rate, transpiration rate, and stomatal conductance), survival percentage, root colonization percentage, and sporocarp count (per 100 g of soil). Therefore, the combined use of Glomus mosseae and gibberellic acid at 200 ppm for 24 hours is recommended to enhance physiological growth and plant survival in Melia azedarach.
