Authors: Iqbal Shabnoor , Ajmal Shah Muhammad , Rasul Azhar , Khan Ajmal , Al-Harrasi Ahmed , Rasool Shahid , Naeem Amir Muhammad
Published: May 2023

Cancer becomes uncontrolled with conventional therapeutic medications and
is, therefore, able to tolerate drug activity, which contributes to increasing the adverse
effects during medication therapy. The usage of anti-cancer peptides is a recent clinical
technique against cancer cells. The physicochemical characteristics, amino acid
composition and the addition to the anti-cancer peptides sequence of chemical groups
impact their conformation, net load and secondary structure orientation, which affect
the targeted specimen and peptide cell interaction, stability and effectiveness of
penetrating peptides. Anti-cancer peptides are formed by replacing cationic amino acid
residues with neutral or anionic amino acid residues or by introducing a chemical
group, both naturally occurring and modified peptides. Updated peptides improve the
potency of cancer treatment. This efficacy has recently allowed anti-cancer peptides to
shape medicines and vaccines that were sequentially tested in many phases of clinical
testing.
The creation of anti-cancer peptides continues to concentrate on the production of
clinically adjusted anti-cancer peptides with a view to decreasing the occurrence of
new cancer cases and the mortality rate. The current analysis could help promote the
creation of anti-cancer peptides and, in the immediate future, improve successful anti cancer peptide therapy. Anti-cancer plant peptides are part of several species of plant
inborn immune response systems and are attractive candidates for the care of animals
and humans against infections. Anti-cancer plant peptides also display anti-cancer activities and can inactivate a wide variety of cancer cells. Cancer appears to be a
worldwide source of elevated morbidity and mortality. There is a dire need to produce
novel methods to treat gastric cancer. Anti-cancer plant peptides like cyclotides,
thionines, and defensins which have anti-cancer activities, are appealing alternatives.
We have summarized the anti-cancer effect of anti-cancer plant peptides with a focus
on their mode of activity, efficacy, and selectivity. 
Chikungunya Virus and Toll like Receptors
Authors: Krishnan Jayalakshmi
Published: May 2023

Infected mosquitoes of Aedes species spread Chikungunya fever upon the
biting of the mosquitoes. Chikungunya fever first came to the limelight upon an
outbreak in southern Tanzania in 1952. These days almost all countries in the world are
reporting Chikungunya fever. There is no vaccine for the Chikungunya virus. The
infection causes severe joint pain, nausea, vomiting, conductivities, headache, and
muscle pain, followed by fever. Clinical manifestations occur after 2-7 days of the
mosquito bite. This chapter addresses key issues on Chikungunya viral infection in
brain cells with reference to the triggering of events associated with toll-like receptors.

In the paper, results of measurements of the optical response of chalcogenide glasses of the Ga5Ge20Sb10Se65 composition doped with rare-earth ions Tb3+ or Dy3+, in the wavelength range of 0.7-1.5 μm by the method of IR spectroscopy are presented. Parameters characterizing the fundamental absorption band edge of the glasses --- optical bandgap energy, Urbach tail parameter and weak absorption tail parameter --- have been evaluated. It has been found that doping in low concentrations (up to 0.3 wt%) does not influence the optical bandgap energy and optical properties of the glasses in the range of the Urbach tail, but in the range of the weak absorption tail, optical response of the glasses depends on the activator concentration. Crystallization of the glasses produced by the direct melting method also depends on the activator concentration. In the glasses doped with Dy3+, absorption bands of the ion are located in the range of the weak absorption tail of the glass that makes possible energy transfer between the ions and the gap states of the charge carriers. Keywords: rear earth elements, chalcogenide glasses, bandgap energy, Urbach tail, weak absorption tail, gap states.
On solution of the light scattering problem for a spheroid in the TM and TE modes when using spheroidal bases
Authors: Farafonov V. G.  , Il'in V. B.  , Turichina D.G.
Published: May 2023

Light scattering by spheroids plays an important role in various applications. The most efficient algorithm to calculate the optical properties of spheroids implies the field expansions in a special spheroidal basis, but its application is limited by three problems --- difficulties of computations of the spheroidal functions of complex argument, the absent transition to the standard T-matrix, and loss of precision in complicated calculations for one case of the incident radiation polarization (TE mode). The first two difficulties have been recently overcome to a large extent, and in this work we solve the last problem --- by using T-matrix transformations, we find the way of expressing the TE mode solution through the more simple and stable TM mode solution. Numerical calculations performed by us demonstrate that the suggested approach improves the result accuracy by several orders, accelerates solution in several times and significantly extends its applicability range (up to the diffraction parameters exceeding 100). Keywords: light scattering, T-matrix, spheroidal scatterers.
Phase effects at stimulated Brillouin scattering
Authors: Kasumova R. J.  , Kerimli N. V.  , Safarova G. A.
Published: May 2023

In the study of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in the constant intensity approximation, the spatial behavior of the intensity of the Stokes scattering wave in a medium was investigated. It was found that as a result of nonlinear interaction of waves, the period of spatial beats changes. The intensity of the Stokes scattering component is considered as a function of the phase mismatch, pump and acoustic wave intensities. It is found that the efficiency of the scattering of the backward Stokes wave is affected by the total length of the nonlinear medium. According to the analytical expressions obtained in this work, the choice of the optimal parameters of the problem makes it possible to implement the regime of efficient generation of the Stokes scattering component in SBS. The process of generation and amplification of the Stokes scattering component is compared with experiment. By varying the pump intensity, one can control and manipulate the intensity of the output radiation of the Stokes component. Keywords: SBS, backward Stokes scattering wave, constant intensity approximation.
Influence of collisions on the effect of electromagnetic-induced transparency in cells of finite sizes with anti-relaxation coating of walls
Authors: Voloshin G. V.
Published: May 2023

Based on the semiclassical theory of the interaction of two-frequency laser radiation with a resonant atomic medium, an analytical expression is obtained that describes the form of resonances of electromagnetically induced transparency detected in a cell with a finite direction in the longitudinal laser beam direction with an anti-relaxation coating of walls, taking into account the motion of atoms and collisions with walls. The following types of reflection from walls are considered: diffuse, specular, and specular-incoherent. It is found that in a number of cases the diffuse type of reflection exhibits the properties of a mirror-incoherent one. It is also shown that the nondegeneracy of the excited state in a number of cases significantly changes the shape of the transparency resonance. Keywords: Electromagnetically induced transparency, Gas cell, anti-relaxation coating, diffuse reflection, specular reflection, specular-incoherent reflection.

Authors: Arkhipov R. M.  , Pakhomov A. V.  , Arkhipov M. V.  , Rosanov N. N.
Published: May 2023

Using the numerical solution of the system of equations for the amplitudes of bound states, together with the wave equation, we theoretically consider stopped polarization pulse superradiance upon excitation by a pair of half-period attosecond pulses in a thin layer of a five-level resonant medium, the parameters of which are the same as in a hydrogen atom. It is shown that in the case of a multilevel medium, at certain parameters of the exciting field, the superradiance pulse near the medium is also a single-cycle pulse, the shape of which is determined by the first time derivative of the stopped polarization pulse, as in the case when approximate low-level and classical models were used to describe the response of the medium. Keywords: superradiance, attosecond pulses, stopped polarization pulse, unipolar pulses, subcycle pulses.
Kinetics of luminescence decay of nanocrystals: physical models and approximation by a sum of three exponential functions
Authors: Bodunov E. N.
Published: May 2023

The measurement of the kinetics of luminescence decay of nanocrystals (NCs) --- quantum dots (QDs), nanowires, nanoplates and quantum rings --- is an important tool for studying the photodynamics of their excited states, that allows identifying the type and number of traps for charge carriers (electrons, holes) or acceptors of excitation energy (molecules, other QDs) located on the surface or near the NCs, as well as to estimate the energy of traps and to determine the mechanism of transfer of the energy of electronic excitation from the NCs to acceptors. Usually, the kinetics of luminescence decay is approximated by a sum of two or three exponential functions. In this case, the fitting parameters are the amplitudes and decay times of the exponential components. This paper analyzes the experimental conditions under which such an approximation has a clear physical meaning (long-range nonradiative energy transfer, contact quenching of luminescence, reversible trapping of charge carriers), and establishes a relationship between the fitting parameters. Keywords: nanocrystals, kinetics of luminescence decay, approximation by a sum of three exponential functions.

Published: May 2023

Poverty is the main obstacle in the development of any nation, but it actually exists in the maximum countries. Poverty is defined differently in every country. Basically, poverty is the scarcity or the lack of a certain amount of material possessions or money. Poverty is a multifaceted concept, which may include social, economic and political elements. Absolute poverty, extreme poverty or destitution refers to the complete lack of the means necessary to meet basic personal needs such as food, clothing and shelter. In this paper, we discuss about the poverty especially in reference to the western Rajasthan. The economy of Rajasthan has registered many ups and downs in its growth trajectory. It was concluded that after a slow progress during the 1980s, the 2004-05 to 2012-13 period has been fairly stable with positive growth. Rajasthan government has made many policies and programmes to benefit the poor class of the society. But still government is not successful to eradicate it completely.

Education that is imparted today focus on the cognitive aspect and little importance to the affective domain. Emotion regulation is the ability to modify the experience and expressions of emotions (Gross and Thompson 2007).In a classroom situation positive emotions, feedback and rewards facilitate better learning. Jurist proposed an innovative theoretical aspects on emotion regulation, which put forward theory of mind or mentalisation as a central idea of it. Regulatory process of emotion takes an account in mentalisation .This theory focus on affectively regulating or modulating an emotion relies on Theory of Mind. There are three aspects of mentalized affectivity, Identifting, Processing and Expressing. This paper discussed validity, reliability and item analysis of Emotion regulation scale in the light of Mentalized affectivity Theory. Emotion regulation plays a major role in adolescent ability to handle every day stressors and the way in which they response to these stressors can result in the development of depression, anxiety or anger management problems.

ANALYSIS ON EFFECT OF COVID-19 ON HEALTH AMONG INDIANS AND EUROPEANS
Authors: Singh Raj Veer
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this study is how compassion has been affected in India and European countries, in our country even in the absence of health facilities, Covid-19 has less effect than other countries, especially in Europe. It is being observed through statistical analysis and statistical process etc. that the effect of COVID-19 in India is less and in European countries the effect of COVID-19 may be more due to many factors like environmental factors, differences in defense response system etc. One possible reason behind the decrease in the number of infected can be believed that there has been herd immunity. Vinita Bal of India's National Institute of Immunology believes that herd immunity can be behind this. Herd immunity means the level where immunity has developed among so many people of a community that there is no more infection. This was either due to a large number of people getting sick or due to vaccination. Thus we can say that in comparison to European countries, infection rate, mortality and recovery rate in India has been very good.

Authors: Dhal Pravat Kumar , Kumari Amola
Published: May 2023

It is assumed that education is an instrument for bringing out the potentialities of human beings while effectiveness of a education system is mainly dependent upon its teachers. Teaching is an art and the quality of teaching depends on the love, dedication and devotion of the teacher towards the subject of the knowledge. The quality of any teaching programme cannot rise above the quality of its teachers. In the professional preparation of teachers, the study of attitudes held by them is very important. The attitude of teacher is a teacher's characteristic and component of teacher's personality. How a teacher performs his duty as a teacher is dependent, to a great extent, on his attitudes values and beliefs. A positive favourable attitude makes the work not only easier but also more satisfying and professionally rewarding; rather a negative attitude makes the teaching task harder, more tedious and unpleasant. Self-efficacy belief is of paramount importance in the transfer of the information and skills that prospective teachers acquire during their prospective education to the students. Mental health is a concept that refers to individual emotional and psychological well-being. Feeling capable and competent; being able to handle normal level of stress, and lead an independent life; and being able to "bounce back" or recover from difficult situations, are all signs of mental health. The researcher used survey method for present study. The population of the present study was all the B.Ed. Trainees of Patna. Random sampling technique was used to select 400 prospective teachers studying in 8 B.Ed. Colleges run by government and private management in Patna town. . There is no significant correlation between attitude and self – efficacy of teacher trainees while there is significant correlation between attitude and mental health and self – efficacy and mental health of teacher trainees.

Published: May 2023

Environment is the source of the needs for human development in all respect right from beginning but unfortunately human beings are deteriorating the environment in so many ways. So various fatal effects and chages are being seen since few decades. Even the international conference of the experts held in Indonesia has alarmed to the world that the world have to be very conscious regarding environment depletion and pollution otherwise by 2030 many disasters may occur.
Environmental awareness not only makes aware the world population about the natural environment and its problems, but also aims at developing in them the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary to protect the natural balance in environment, besides working for its enrichment. Environmental awareness is nothing but teaching a man how to interact fully with the surrounding world, so as to improve his or her own inner world. Environmental awareness enables one to maintain his or her life. This,, in turn, helps in the preservation of human race. It channelizes man towards diminishing natural resources, environmental pollution and the problem of population explosion. Environmental awareness means the generation of widespread awareness of environmental problems.
Thus in the present study researcher has tried to find out the environmental awareness among the secondary school students.

Experimental and Analytical Studies of an Ultra-high Performance Concrete Beam Using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Bars
Authors: Sun C. Shawn , Farzana Nahid , Kuruppuarachchi Dinesha , Azimi Mohammadamin , Zhong Huayuan
Published: May 2023

Infrastructure degradation attributable to concrete deterioration and corrosion of reinforcing steel has been a long-standing challenge to the owners and engineers. This problem becomes more evident when concrete structures are subject to aggressively corrosive environments. The use of advanced materials such as ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars has a strong potential to overcome this challenge and help build new infrastructure that is durable and sustainable. However, structural behavior of members using both UHPC and CFRP bars has not been studied thoroughly in the United States and overseas, and no codes or specifications are readily available for structural engineers to follow. This paper presented an initial attempt to explore this topic by addressing the bond behavior between UHPC and CFRP bars through pullout tests. The test results showed that the UHPC specimens exhibited gradually increased slippage after the peak load and demonstrated superior bond performance in comparison with the conventional concrete specimens. Flexural tests were also conducted to compare the structural behavior of two large-scale beams, which were made of conventional concrete reinforced by steel bars and UHPC reinforced by CFRP bars, respectively. Test results showed that the UHPC beam did not exhibit as much ductility as the conventional beam, as predicted. However, there was still sufficient warning of impending failure in a form of extensive cracking and substantial deflection attributable to the bridging effect of the steel fibers. Further, flexural strength analysis of the UHPC beam using CFRP bars was discussed satisfying strain compatibility and force equilibrium, which provided a guidance for structural engineers to design such members. The research approach adopted in this paper may be applicable to study UHPC beams using other types of FRP materials.

Published: May 2023

Background

Patients who were incarcerated were disproportionately affected by COVID-19 compared with the general public. Furthermore, the impact of multidisciplinary rehabilitation assessments and interventions on the outcomes of patients admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 is limited.

Objective

We aimed to compare the functional outcomes of oral intake, mobility, and activity between inmates and noninmates diagnosed with COVID-19 and examine the relationships among these functional measures and discharge destination.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed on patients admitted to the hospital for COVID-19 at a large academic medical center. Scores on functional measures including the Functional Oral Intake Scale and Activity Measure for Postacute Care (AM-PAC) were collected and compared between inmates and noninmates. Binary logistic regression models were used to evaluate the odds of whether patients were discharged to the same place they were admitted from and whether patients were being discharged with a total oral diet with no restrictions. Independent variables were considered significant if the 95% CIs of the odds ratios (ORs) did not include 1.0.

Results

A total of 83 patients (inmates: n=38; noninmates: n=45) were included in the final analysis. There were no differences between inmates and noninmates in the initial (P=.39) and final Functional Oral Intake Scale scores (P=.35) or in the initial (P=.06 and P=.46), final (P=.43 and P=.79), or change scores (P=.97 and P=.45) on the AM-PAC mobility and activity subscales, respectively. When examining separate regression models using AM-PAC mobility or AM-PAC activity scores as independent variables, greater age upon admission decreased the odds (OR 0.922, 95% CI 0.875-0.972 and OR 0.918, 95% CI 0.871-0.968) of patients being discharged with a total oral diet with no restrictions. The following factors increased the odds of patients being discharged to the same place they were admitted from: being an inmate (OR 5.285, 95% CI 1.334-20.931 and OR 6.083, 95% CI 1.548-23.912), “Other” race (OR 7.596, 95% CI 1.203-47.968 and OR 8.515, 95% CI 1.311-55.291), and female sex (OR 4.671, 95% CI 1.086-20.092 and OR 4.977, 95% CI 1.146-21.615).

Conclusions

The results of this study provide an opportunity to learn how functional measures may be used to better understand discharge outcomes in both inmate and noninmate patients admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 during the initial period of the pandemic.

Background

In cases of terrorism, disasters, or mass casualty incidents, far-reaching life-and-death decisions about prioritizing patients are currently made using triage algorithms that focus solely on the patient’s current health status rather than their prognosis, thus leaving a fatal gap of patients who are under- or overtriaged.

Objective

The aim of this proof-of-concept study is to demonstrate a novel approach for triage that no longer classifies patients into triage categories but ranks their urgency according to the anticipated survival time without intervention. Using this approach, we aim to improve the prioritization of casualties by respecting individual injury patterns and vital signs, survival likelihoods, and the availability of rescue resources.

Methods

We designed a mathematical model that allows dynamic simulation of the time course of a patient’s vital parameters, depending on individual baseline vital signs and injury severity. The 2 variables were integrated using the well-established Revised Trauma Score (RTS) and the New Injury Severity Score (NISS). An artificial patient database of unique patients with trauma (N=82,277) was then generated and used for analysis of the time course modeling and triage classification. Comparative performance analysis of different triage algorithms was performed. In addition, we applied a sophisticated, state-of-the-art clustering method using the Gower distance to visualize patient cohorts at risk for mistriage.

Results

The proposed triage algorithm realistically modeled the time course of a patient’s life, depending on injury severity and current vital parameters. Different casualties were ranked by their anticipated time course, reflecting their priority for treatment. Regarding the identification of patients at risk for mistriage, the model outperformed the Simple Triage And Rapid Treatment’s triage algorithm but also exclusive stratification by the RTS or the NISS. Multidimensional analysis separated patients with similar patterns of injuries and vital parameters into clusters with different triage classifications. In this large-scale analysis, our algorithm confirmed the previously mentioned conclusions during simulation and descriptive analysis and underlined the significance of this novel approach to triage.

Conclusions

The findings of this study suggest the feasibility and relevance of our model, which is unique in terms of its ranking system, prognosis outline, and time course anticipation. The proposed triage-ranking algorithm could offer an innovative triage method with a wide range of applications in prehospital, disaster, and emergency medicine, as well as simulation and research.
Indigenous Women and Their Nutrition During Pregnancy (the Mums and Bubs Deadly Diets Project): Protocol for a Co-designed mHealth Resource Development Study
Authors: Gilbert Stephanie , Irvine Rachel , D'or Melissa , Adam Marc T P , Collins Clare E , Marriott Rhonda , Rollo Megan , Walker Roz , Rae Kym
Published: May 2023

Background

Nutrition in pregnancy is pivotal to optimizing infant growth and maternal well-being. The factors affecting Indigenous people’s food and nutrition intake are complex with a history of colonization impacting the disproportionate effect of social determinants to this day. Literature regarding the dietary intake or dietary priorities of Indigenous women in Australia is scarce, with supportive, culturally appropriate resources developed for and with this group rare. Research suggests mobile health (mHealth) tools are effective in supporting health knowledge of Indigenous people and positive health behavior changes when designed and developed with the expertise of Indigenous communities.

Objective

This study seeks to build the body of knowledge related to nutrition needs and priorities for Indigenous women in Australia during pregnancy. Further, this project team and its participants will co-design an mHealth digital tool to support these nutrition needs.

Methods

The Mums and Bubs Deadly Diets study recruits Indigenous women and health care professionals who support Indigenous women during pregnancy into 2 phases. Phase 1 (predesign) uses a mixed methods convergent design using a biographical questionnaire and social or focus groups to inform phase 2 (generative). Phase 2 will use a participatory action research process during co-design workshops to iteratively develop the digital tool; the exact actions within a workshop will evolve according to the participant group decisions.

Results

To date, this project has undertaken phase 1 focus groups at all Queensland sites, with New South Wales and Western Australia to begin in early to mid-2023. We have recruited 12 participants from Galangoor Duwalami, 18 participants from Carbal in Toowoomba, and 18 participants from Carbal in Warwick. We are expecting similar numbers of recruits in Western Australia and New South Wales. Participants have been both community members and health care professionals.

Conclusions

This study is an iterative and adaptive research program that endeavors to develop real-world, impactful resources to support the nutrition needs and priorities of pregnant Indigenous women in Australia. This comprehensive project requires a combination of methods and methodologies to ensure Indigenous voices are heard at each stage and in all aspects of research output. The development of an mHealth resource for this cohort will provide a necessary bridge where there is often a gap in access to nutrition resources for women in pregnancy in Indigenous communities.

Faith is the Cornerstone of Civilization
Authors: Wang Liang
Published: May 2023

The theoretical construction of cultural self-confidence is not an unsourceable water or rootless wood, but a product based on the history and reality of Chinese traditional culture. This requires us to clarify the history, reality and theoretical logic on which cultural self-confidence relies in our research. Only by understanding these can we truly understand the Chinese culture we want to build and develop, and truly understand the socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Faith not only affects the development of the whole society, but also is closely related to the happiness of the people. So what is faith? Do we need faith? What should we believe in? The intrinsic connection between civilization, culture and faith is a concept that every Communist Party member should deeply think about and engrave in their hearts during the period of comprehensively building socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

La generación de residuos son producto de la urbanización, el desarrollo económico y el crecimiento de la población. En México, la gestión de residuos ha evolucionado como una consecuencia de la participación en la firma de acuerdos y tratados internacionales. Teniendo como punto de referencia los diagnósticos básicos para la gestión integrada de residuos que, son línea base para la planeación y elaboración de los programas y planes de manejo. En este sentido los diagnósticos han sufrido cambios sustanciales. Se evidencian mediante un análisis diacrónico con el enfoque de la teoría fundamentada y el análisis de datos cualitativos asistidos por computadora. Queda manifiesto que la ejecución de los planes de gestión y políticas públicas es limitada. Los esfuerzos realizados mantienen la gestión de residuos más como discurso que como acciones concretas. Lo cual evidencia las deficiencias institucionales para una eficiente gestión de los residuos sólidos.
El papel de la familia en la construcción de masculinidad(es) en cis varones estudiantes de la FES Iztacala
Authors: Palumbo Mariana , López Oliva
Published: May 2023

La familia es un ámbito central donde los postulados sobre el deber ser masculino son aprendidos, reproducidos y cuestionados. A partir de una metodología cualitativa, describimos y analizamos a la familia como una tecnología de género a partir de la cual se construyen masculinidades cis juveniles en tres dimensiones: heterosexual, proveedora-protectora y cómplice-silenciosa frente a la violencia contra las mujeres. Centramos nuestro análisis en jóvenes de entre 18 y 24 años, cis heterosexuales que cursan estudios universitarios en la Facultad de Estudios Superiores Iztacala de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, durante el año 2019. Nuestra perspectiva de análisis sobre las masculinidades es relacional, constructivista y situada.

Impacto de las políticas de privatización e internacionalización en la universidad pública española
Authors: Carrasco-González Alexandra
Published: May 2023

Esta investigación se centra en analizar el impacto de las reformas políticas que suponen una privatización e internacionalización en la universidad pública española. Como resultados, se destaca una tendencia hacia el aumento de tasas de matrículas y una mayor diversificación institucional, caracterizada por la creación de un modelo de universidad de investigación de excelencia. La problemática de este escenario es que las universidades de investigaciónse encuentran en las comunidades autónomas (Madrid y Cataluña) que presentan las tasas económicas más elevadas de todo el territorio nacional y, a su vez, es donde existe un porcentaje menor de alumnado que se beneficia de becas, lo que acentúa en mayor medida las desigualdades.
