Mathematical Modelling of Scission Electrospun Polystyrene Fibre by Ultrasonication Scission
Authors: Rinai Raja Cheryl , Sawawi Marini , Tanjong Shirley Johnathan , Truna Nurliyana
Published: March 2024

This study investigates the effects of time and diameter on the final scission length of the electrospun polystyrene (PS) fibres, whereby the fibres were ultrasonicated for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 minutes. The ultrasonic probe stimulates bubble cavitation followed by bubble implosion as scission occurs. Factors affecting the scissionability of the electrospun PS fibres are primarily the diameter of the fibre and the sonication run time. The scission final fibre length range is approximately 23.7 µm to 1.1 µm. SEM images show that the fibre breaks into shorter lengths as sonication run time increases. Conversely, fibre diameter exhibits a positive relationship with fibre length. The model gives an R-squared value of 0.44 and 0.59 for linear and non-linear regression, thus suggesting that the non-linear model provides a better fit for the data. The validation of the model is achieved by conducting a hypothesis test. Through hypothesis testing, the mean of the experimental average final length value and the predicted average fibre length from the regression model were not significant, indicating that the model can generally predict a relatively accurate average final fibre length value. The model derived from this study enables researchers to estimate the time required to sonicate the PS fibre (with a specific diameter) to achieve the short fibre length needed in their application. As research progresses, refining the model and incorporating additional parameters will be essential to ensure the broad reliability and applicability of these models across a variety of practical contexts.

Published: March 2024

The purpose of this paper is to address the pressing road safety issues that plague our country. Unfortunately, a high number of fatalities result from accidents on the road. To combat this problem, this paper proposes the implementation of a Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication protocol that will allow vehicles to communicate wirelessly with one another while on the road. This protocol will use Radio Frequency (RF) communication, which has a range of 100 to 300 meters depending on the module and antenna utilized. V2V communication is especially crucial in areas with no internet connectivity or Global System for Mobile (GSM)- based communication. It enables vehicles to communicate data such as accidents, vehicles ahead, vehicles coming from opposite lanes, and other warnings. The NRF module is utilized to establish wireless RF communication between vehicles. The NRF modules present in both vehicles communicate with one another and transmit messages over a wireless medium. This type of communication is much more reliable than internet or mobile-based communication. A Node MCU microcontroller integrates all the sensors present, controlling all the functions. This technology plays a vital role in preventing accidents on roads, which remains one of the most significant issues in our country, causing numerous fatalities. Connected vehicles on the roads provide smoother traffic, tackle congestion, and in case of any human error, the vehicle can communicate with other vehicles quickly and wirelessly, cautioning the other driver, thereby avoiding fatalities.

The microorganisms were treated with 10 and 20 µg/mL of the silver nanoparticles and 20 µg/mL of ciprofloxacin for 72 hours. After incubation, the silver nanoparticles significantly inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (17.00 ± 2.50), which was higher than the inhibition observed with ciprofloxacin (15.00 ± 0.05). The zone of inhibition of Pseudomonas Stutzeri was 15.00 ± 3.00, which was inhibited by the silver nanoparticles compared to ciprofloxacin (22.00 ± 2.00). The silver nanoparticles also showed significant antioxidant activity compared to the standard ascorbic acid. In conclusion, the study found that the biosynthesized silver nanoparticles exhibited antimicrobial and antioxidant properties against the tested microorganisms.
Relation of catecholamines with oxidative stress in patients undergoing cardiac surgery before and after endotracheal intubation
Authors: R.K. Sah , K.M. More , V. Sathe
Published: March 2024

Inroduction

Endotracheal intubation is used to maintain the airway open so that oxygen, medicine, or anesthesia can be administered. Anesthesia and surgery boost the release of cross-regulating hormones through physiological responses and psychological stress. There is a strong link between psychological stress and oxidative stress, according to research.

Objective: - The goal of this study was to determine the levels of catecholamines (adrenaline and noradrenaline) and oxidative stress before and after endotracheal intubation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and to study association between them.

Material & Methods: - Total 30 patients undergoing cardiac surgery were enrolled. Blood samples were collected before and after endotracheal intubation. Plasma adrenaline and noradrenaline levels were estimated by ELISA. MDA & SOD were estimated by spectrophotometric method.

Results: - Mean levels of plasma adrenaline (p< 0.01), noradrenaline (p< 0.0001) and Serum MDA (p< 0.0001) were significantly decreased while Serum SOD were significantly increased (p< 0.0001) after endotracheal intubation as compared to before endotracheal intubation by laryngoscopy in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We found significant positive correlation of MDA with adrenaline and nor-adrenaline before and after intubation. SOD activity was negatively correlated with MDA, adrenaline and noradrenaline before and after intubation

Conclusion: Elevated levels of adrenaline, noradrenaline, MDA, and lower levels of SOD show that patients are stressed prior to endotracheal intubation, resulting in a stronger stress response and increased oxidative stress. After intubation, the levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline reduced, indicating a reduction of stress. Our study also shows a link between psychological and oxidative stress. For a better outcome and to avoid subsequent complications, it is preferable to evaluate stress levels and oxidative stress in patients undergoing cardiac surgery before and after endotracheal intubation.

Published: March 2024

Live capture-recapture is often considered the gold standard for estimating wildlife population size or density, but the approach can be limited by permitting requirements, required labor, welfare concerns, and biased estimates resulting from heterogeneity in individual behavior. Noninvasive genetic sampling (e.g., from fecal pellets) offers a powerful alternative approach, but this method’s success varies among taxa, with little research available on its use in rodents. Here, we addressed a series of questions to develop a noninvasive genetic sampling approach for the endangered giant kangaroo rat (Dipodomys ingens): (1) how quickly does DNA degrade in natural conditions, (2) how many pellets are required to recover a genotype, (3) how often do multiple individuals contaminate a pooled sample from a single sampling location, and (4) how do variable and parameter estimates from noninvasive genetic sampling compare to live-trapping mark-recapture estimates? We found that fecal pellets were successfully genotyped up to 9 days (estimated probability of recovery = 0.78) after exposure to hot, arid conditions, but that rate fell precipitously soon after. Although giant kangaroo rats are territorial, multiple individuals deposited fecal pellets at the same sampling locations; however, single pellets contained sufficient DNA to recover genotypes and to identify individuals, so contamination was not a problem for this approach. Capture probabilities were lower using noninvasive genetic sampling ( = 0.26, SE = 0.01) than live trapping ( = 0.40, SE = 0.06). Population estimates were generally similar using noninvasive genetic sampling, although they were quite a bit higher ( = 64 , = 38) on one grid. Noninvasive genetic sampling can overcome many of the limitations of live-trapping for small mammals, but the approach should be tested in additional taxa and systems to provide more generalizable recommendations for sampling schemes.

The nose is a recognized source of Staphylococcus aureus which is a common pathogenic microbe in humans which cause different infections in hospitals as well as in the community. This study determined the nasal carriage and the antibiotic resistance profile of Staphylococcus aureus among the female medical students of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. Eighty nasal samples, collected from 20 students were screened for mannitol fermentation, coagulase and catalase syntheses and Gram staining. Antibiotics resistance profile of the isolates was investigated using disc diffusion method. Out of the 80 samples screened, 25 isolates tested positive for mannitol fermentation and Gram staining. Twenty isolates tested positive for coagulase and catalase syntheses confirming them to be Staphylococcus aureus while five tested negative to coagulase and catalase syntheses. Eleven students were intermittent carriers of S. aureus, seven were non-carriers while two were persistent carriers of S.aureus during the period of investigation. Antibiotic sensitivity test revealed that all the 20 isolates were sensitive to streptomycin and ciprofloxacin,19 isolates showed resistance to cefotaxime and 9 isolates showed multiple resistance to co-amoxiclav, ampicillin, cloxacillin and cefotaxime while 1 isolate showed multiple resistance to co-amoxiclav, cloxacillin, cotrimoxazole and partially resistant to cefotaxime. In conclusion, there was detection of multiple antibiotics resistant Staphylococcus aureus among female medical students of OAU who frequently visit teaching hospital for their clinical trainings; this could lead to a major challenge in the management of staphylococcal infections in the hospital and the development of both community acquired and nosocomial infections.

Racism and Alienation in Postcolonial Context: A Study of Tariq Rehman’s Short Story “BINGO”
Authors: Uzma Munir  , Asif Memoona
Published: March 2024

Referring to the phenomenon of racism and alienation in Pakistani literature, it is first advantageous to examine Pakistan’s Postcolonial democracy. Pakistan was colonized under British rule for 90 years and got its independent recognition in 1947. In 1971, the political and social conflicts fueled the armed forces to start a third war between India and Pakistan. Consequently, East Pakistan (i.e., present Bangladesh) formally separated from West Pakistan. This paper focuses on two major dimensions of postcolonialism i.e., Racism and Alienation, in Tariq Rehman’s short fiction Bingo. Postcolonialism is used as a theoretical framework to postulate the formation and fragmentation of East and West Pakistani nations in 1971. The conventional treatment of colonial hegemony by West Pakistan to East Pakistan is analyzed through the characters of Tajassur and Safeer. The outcome of the hegemonic scenario gives birth to some toxic substances of civil war such as brutality, mass destruction, deprivation, hatred, and family loss, which are couched through the diction and style opted by Tariq Rehman. This study is exclusive in a way that it elucidates the social and emotional estrangement of the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) towards a minority (i.e., Bengalis) before the independence of Bangladesh. This work further examines the text to mediate all the scenarios of West Pakistan’s power shift from being under British raj to rule over Bengalis. To interpret the orientation and worthiness of data; thematic analysis is used as a more flexible yet influential tool; to discuss the hegemonic foundation after partition in Pakistan

This paper attempts to identify appropriate methods of teaching entrepreneurship in schools. The key to successful entrepreneurship education is finding the most effective way to manage learner skills and identifying the best match between student needs and teaching techniques. As entrepreneurship education includes all activities aimed at fostering entrepreneurial mindsets, attitudes, and skills, as well as aspects such as idea generation and innovation, experiential learning is an appropriate approach. For this purpose, a small experiment was conducted within the „Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship“ classes and an online survey among students, the results of which are presented in the paper. The target audience for this closed poll is teenagers who are around 15 to 16 years old. In this case, the survey was administered among students from Profiled High School for Romance Languages „G. S. Rakovski“ in Burgas, focusing on entrepreneurship with Spanish and entrepreneurship with French. The findings of the study revealed that there are many prevalent obstacles to effective entrepreneurial education (EE), concerning resource availability, standardized curriculum issues, and training opportunities for educators. Moreover, the findings of the research indicate both the impact of formal evaluation, its systematic approach to assessing students‘ knowledge and abilities, and informal evaluation approaches, as well as their alignment with the entrepreneurial mindset.
