Published: October 2021

Стаття присвячена розробці методики визначення маскувальних характеристик аерозолеутворюючих речовин та аерозольних засобів з врахуванням контрасту об’єктів, що прикриваються аерозольним утворенням, при спрощеному підході до визначення масової концентрації аерозолю на трасі спостереження. Даний підхід ґрунтується на одному з положень теорії перенесення оптичного випромінювання у розсіюючих та поглинаючих середовищах, яке полягає у тому, що показник ослаблення аерозолю пропорційний концентрації цього аерозолю на шляху проходження випромінювання. Це означає, що при утворенні аерозолю у постійному об’ємі відношення показника ослаблення аерозолю до масової концентрації цього аерозолю не залежить від масової концентрації, а залежить тільки від фізико-хімічних характеристик речовини, що використовується для формування аерозольного утворення. Це дає змогу, створивши довільну концентрацію аерозолю у постійному об’ємі і, визначивши показник ослаблення  для цієї концентрації аерозолю, визначити параметр маскуючої здатності. Вимірювання показника ослаблення оптичного випромінювання в аерозолі виконується відомими фотометричними методами. Отримано математичні залежності обчислення маскуючої маси та непрозорої довжини аерозольних утворень як функції від маскуючої здатності аерозольного утворення та контрасту об’єкту на підстилаючому фоні.

Authors: Melnikova E. V. , Rachinskaya O. A. , Merkulov V. A.
Published: October 2021

One of the promising areas in the development of innovative products for the treatment of cancer is the use of oncolytic (native or genetically modified) viruses (OLVs) for selective targeting of tumour cells and their destruction, especially as part of combination therapy. At present, there are three OLV-based products approved for medical use (two in China and one in the USА and EU). The aim of the study was to analyse data on specific aspects of OLV-based products’ development, preclinical and clinical research, and authorisation process in China. The authors analysed data freely available on the manufacturers’ websites, in public reports and documents of the Chinese regulatory authorities, in international clinical trial registries, and scientific publications. The products Gendicine® (SiBiono GeneTech Co., Ltd.) and Oncorine® (Shanghai Sunway Biotech Co., Ltd.) were originally developed and approved in China for clinical use as part of combination therapy. The analysis demonstrated long product development periods (Gendicine had been studied for 14 years before the start of the authorisation procedures), complex preclinical trial designs, and potential use of the products for several medical conditions with different tumour localisation. The identified specific aspects of OVL-based products’ development and authorisation in China could be taken into account in the regulatory practice of the Russian Federation.
Experimental Cell Line Models for Nephrotoxicity Screening
Authors: Mazerkina I. A. , Evteev V. A. , Prokofiev A. B. , Muslimova O. V. , Demchenkova E. Yu.
Published: October 2021

The aim of the study was to review literature data on cell models for experimental assessment of drug nephrotoxicity in vitro. Because of nephrotoxicity, 2% of new investigational medicinal products are discarded at the stage of preclinical in vivo studies in laboratory animals, and 19%—after phase 3 clinical trials. Prediction of toxicity in cell models could make drug development more cost-effective and help to reduce/avoid animal testing. At present, there are no official international guidelines for assessment of nephrotoxicity in vitro, but there is a lot of research underway. The main toxicity target in kidneys is renal proximal tubule epithelial cells, therefore the main research is focused on the development of renal proximal tubule epithelial cell lines with stable functional characteristics. Another important aspect in nephrotoxicity modeling is the choice of relevant test methods and end points which would reflect potential toxicity mechanisms. The paper reviews existing human renal proximal tubule epithelial cell lines and current test methods for assessing cytotoxicity. Promising areas for future development of cell models for nephrotoxicity assessment— are optimisation and standardisation of in vitro systems that would help to make preclinical predictions of drug nephrotoxicity in vivo.

Authors: Alekseeva A. S. , Shemeryankina T. B. , Lyakina M. N. , Smirnova M. S. , Fedorova E. P. , Kakhramanova S. D.
Published: October 2021

Vitamin A is present in multivitamin products mainly in the form of retinol esters: retinyl acetate, retinyl palmitate, and beta carotene—retinol precursor (dimer) found in plants, which is capable of converting into retinol in liver cells. Retinol is determined in medicinal products primarily by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), with preliminary purification and vitamin isolation by liquid-liquid extraction. However, scientific literature also describes other methods of sample preparation and analysis of such compounds. An important issue is differentiation of vitamin A from other fat-soluble vitamins often included as components in multivitamin products. The aim of the study was to analyse and summarise data on current methods used for determination of vitamin A and its derivatives in medicinal products. The authors analysed the range of vitamin A products authorised in the Russian Federation, and the test methods described in their product specification files. The study demonstrated that the test method most often used for determination of retinol esters was HPLC with isocratic elution mode using octadecylsilyl packing in the reverse-phase mode, and, less frequently, aminopropylsilyl packing in the normal phase mode. Determination of beta carotene in medicinal products is most often performed using spectrophotometry.
Determination of the Critical Phases of the Experimental Research Using Laboratory Animals: Risk Analysis
Authors: Khodko S. V. , Makarova M. N. , Makarov V. G. , Salynov S. S. , Rodionova N. V.
Published: October 2021

Critical phases (stages) of preclinical studies are those procedures or types of research activities whose accurate and correct implementation is a prerequisite for obtaining valid and reliable results. Russian and foreign standards require determination of the critical phases of each individual study by quality assurance staff based on checking the study protocol (plan).

The aim of the study was to identify critical phases typical for most preclinical studies, and assess the potential risks during inspections.

Materials and methods: the study was carried out by analysing the types and consequences of nonconformities. Numerical parameters of risks were analysed for each critical phase of the preclinical study identified by quality officers of the Joint Stock Company “Scientific and Production Association ‘HOME OF PHARMACY’”.

Results: it was discovered that incorrect implementation of a procedure constituted a potential nonconformity at all the identified critical phases, and a potential consequence was acquisition of low-quality data. A combination of incorrectly implemented procedures at two or more critical phases could pose an unacceptable risk and lead to complete loss of data or failure to process data, and, as a result, the need to repeat the study.

Conclusions: the highest risk was identified for such critical phases as preparation and administration of final doses of test samples, performance of physiological tests, collection of biological material samples, and handling of biological material samples by other relevant departments. Summarising the data obtained on the risks of all the critical phases, it can be concluded that risk action should take the form of regular inspections by the quality assurance staff and the study director. By adjusting the frequency of inspections, the risk of each critical phase can be made insignificant.
Selection of Endpoints for Clinical Studies of Ophthalmic Drugs
Authors: Komarova M. O.
Published: October 2021

Until now, there have been no effective treatments for some ophthalmic diseases that have high social significance. Development of therapeutic approaches to such diseases may be complicated due to challenges in diagnosis and selection of clinical trial endpoints. The aim of the study was to analyse current approaches to selection of endpoints in clinical trials of ophthalmic drugs. Clinical efficacy studies of new medicinal products use surrogate endpoints in addition to clinical endpoints. However, currently used surrogate endpoints are not always relevant and do not fully reflect changes in the status of patients with chronic or progressive diseases. The study analysed published approaches to the selection of endpoints in clinical studies of ophthalmic drugs intended for the treatment of glaucoma, uveitis, dry eye syndrome, and age-related macular degeneration. It was demonstrated that the choice of surrogate endpoints in a clinical trial should take into account specific aspects of a particular disease. The assessment of dynamic patterns of changes in visual functions generally requires a complex approach for a comprehensive characterisation of the eye condition in a particular disease. The paper analyses the possibility of using potential surrogate endpoints in studies of the most common eye diseases, and highlights that none of them has been recommended for use in clinical trials or routine clinical practice.

A great variety of components in multivitamin preparations containing folic acid, and a variety of test methods and conditions of folic acid determination proposed by manufacturers, require alignment of test procedures for products with similar composition.

The aim of the study was to compare the results of experimental verification of folic acid determination procedures which use reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP HPLC) with isocratic elution mode. 

Materials and methods: The Agilent 1260 Infinity II LC system with a diode array detector (280 nm), isocratic elution mode, C8- and C18-bonded silica gel chromatographic columns, model mixtures containing folic acid, cyanocobalamin, ferrous sulfate, and potassium iodide, were used in the study.

Results: The lowest relative standard deviation of the folic acid peak area (RSD=0.09%), and the lowest asymmetry factor (As=1.04) for folic acid were observed for the model mixture “ferrous sulfate+folic acid+cyanocobalamin” and the following test conditions. Column: 250×4.0 mm, silica gel for chromatography, octylsilyl (C8), endcapped; mobile phase:  methanol‒phosphate buffer (12:88), pH 6.6; column temperature: 25ºС. The study demonstrated the feasibility of using these conditions for determination of pteroic acid impurity with simultaneous precipitation of interfering ferrous ions, using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid solution, pH 9.5, as a solvent.

Conclusions: RP HPLC can be recommended as an optimal aligned test procedure for determination of folic acid in combination products. It is recommended to use a solution containing folic and pteroic acids for system suitability testing.
Planning a Clinical Trial Programme for Medicinal Products for the Treatment of Axial Spondyloarthritis
Authors: Goryachev D. V.
Published: October 2021

The criteria for diagnosis and classification of spondyloarthritides (SpAs) have undergone significant changes over the past 10 years. The emergence of new diagnostic methods and availability of new information on the prognosis of the disease outcome made it possible to distinguish a separate group of SpAs—axial SpA. Axial SpA is distinguished as a separate disease due to its high social significance, and special mechanisms of its development. The development of medicinal products for the treatment of axial SpA has some specific features, which requires preparation of specific recommendations for conducting clinical trials of such products. The aim of the study was to elaborate a methodological approach to clinical research and evaluation of efficacy and safety of medicinal products for systemic treatment of axial SpA. The study took into account the requirements/recommendations of the European Medicines Agency for planning clinical trials of medicinal products for the treatment of axial SpA, in order to streamline evaluation of national and foreign clinical trial results. The paper identifies the main stages of clinical trials, and proposes criteria for assessing product efficacy at each stage. It defines methods and tools for assessing clinical trial endpoints, which are necessary for evaluation of treatment effects. The paper describes specific aspects of clinical trial designs and their duration, and identifies the objectives of exploratory and confirmatory clinical trials. It also reviews treatment goals and treatment outcome evaluation. The study results could be used in elaboration of recommendations for clinical research of new medicinal products for axial SpA.
Ben Ammi’s Adaptation of Veganism in the Theology of the African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem
Authors: Miller Michael T.
Published: October 2021

This article will look at the ideology of veganism in the AHIJ. Since the early 1970s their diet has been a core part of their ideology and of their message to the world. Acknowledging that a black/Jewish meat-free diet is far from the exclusive property of the group, let alone a new development on their part, I will argue that it is an expression of the syncretic “bricoleur” nature of Black Israelite thought (Dorman 2013), reflecting, drawing on, and transforming traditions existing in both African American and Jewish thought in and before the twentieth century – principally articulated as a concern for health in the former and a messianic return to the peaceful Edenic existence in the latter. However, Ben Ammi skillfully intertwines it into their theology by arguing that a return to the veganism of the Garden of Eden is part of the community’s redemption of humanity from primordial sin and ultimate overcoming of the curse of death.
The Importance of being George

Published: October 2021

The focus on this paper is the political history of Greece in the immediate aftermath of the ousting of the kingdom's first monarch, King Otto von Wittelsbach, and on to the first years of rule of his successor, King George I. After narrating the events that led to the installation of the new king, it specifically examines his cohabitation, inspired as he was by supposedly democratic ideals, with the fresh constitution of 1864; the challenges that the political and cultural landscape in the country presented for him, and the way he chose to respond in the first decade of his rule.

Authors: Ilić Nikola , Vidas Marijo
Published: October 2021

Changes in weather conditions affect people's lifestyle in many ways. This paper presents the influence of weather conditions on the parameters of traffic flows on a two - lane suburban road. Main goal for comparing parameters of traffic flow for bad and good weather conditions is to draw conclusions about which parameters and to what extent are affected by different weather conditions. Based on the foreign literature, it is necessary to define an appropriate research methodology adapted to local conditions and apply it in an adequate way in order to obtain the most accurate results and draw conclusions. In this study, the influence of rainfall on the reduction of anxiety and traffic flow in the vicinity of the town of Loznica is presented. Based on meteorological data for 2019, a sample of days and hours when it rained was determined and compared with days when there was no precipitation.
The implementation of public-private partnership models in road engineering
Authors: Mladenović Miloš , Glavić Draženko , Milenković Marina
Published: October 2021

Investment in road infrastructure, i.e. its construction and maintenance, requires significant financial resources. When it comes to undeveloped and developing countries with limited funds, the available resources must be exploited in the most rational manner while obtaining the maximum benefits. One of the possible solutions is a public-private partnership (PPP) model. This paper analyzes different examples of applying PPP models in road engineering and their different rates of success. The analysis highlighted several key factors for the success of road infrastructure designs financed according to a PPP model. The key factors involve the appropriate traffic flow prediction, high-quality design process and construction cost prediction, the public partner’s decisive and strong attitude in negotiation with the private partner, as well as the contract based on positive regulations and containing thoroughly defined obligations of all parties. The conducted analysis should help decision-makers when making decisions regarding the selection of the appropriate PPP model in road design.
Evaluation of Non-motorised traffic
Authors: Obradović Marijana , Stepanovic Nemanja
Published: October 2021

Non-motorised traffic plays an important and unique role in an efficient traffic system. Helping the creation of more available multimodal communities, improvements in non motorised traffic can lead to a decrease of the use of motorised vehicles and special attention should be paid to improvements in non motorised traffic which are integrated to policies of racional usage of terrain. Conventional research often underestimates and disregards the importance of walking and bicycling, which may present a problem during traffic planning and projecting. It's important to estimate the benefits and costs which improvements in non motorised traffic bring with them. That is why the paper analyzes the impact of non motorised traffic to congestion and safety of traffic, preservation of energy, decrease of pollution, health and social inclusivity of population and economic development.
Research of time headways at roundabout approaches
Authors: Radović Dunja , Bogdanović Vuk
Published: October 2021

It is known that traffic flow characteristics have significant influence at the capacity of all functional segments of the road and street network. One of the most important traffic flow parameters which affect the capacity of roundabouts is follow-up headway at minor approaches of roundabouts. This traffic flow parameter, like the most others, depends on driver behaviour, i.e. local traffic conditions. This paper presents the research results related to follow-up headway at three roundabouts obtained by the photographic method. This data collection method is chosen because its application completely eliminates the impact of research at behaviour of traffic participants. After the research, a representative sample is formed and its processing and analysis led to conclusions about the value of follow-up headway at roundabouts which can be applied in standard procedures for capacity calculation at roundabouts in midsize cities of our region.

Most of heavy trucks and buses are propelled with diesel engines beacause of their reliability, fuel efficiency and tourqe. These engines are simple to maintain, cheap to produce and extremly durable. Main propblem with diesel engines are solid hazard particles emission and nitrosoxide. Health expets are concluded that these hazards effects human health, as well damaging ozone layer in athmosphere and create acid rains.
Specifics of road safety inspection in tunnels
Authors: Smailovic Emir , Antić Boris , Pešić Dalibor , Beronja Slaviš
Published: October 2021

Tunnels are underground passages, placed horizontally, which serve to lead the road through them. In order to fulfill its purpose in road traffic, the tunnel must fit into the traffic infrastructure and as such not create an obstacle in movement and enable the movement of vehicles from entrance to exit without danger, but with increased restriction of freedom of lateral evacuation. Tunnels are among some of the most risky parts of the road network, primarily due to space constraints, where there is a possibility of a traffic accident. Managing the risks associated with the passage of road traffic, and in particular the safety of traffic in tunnels, is a serious problem in many countries. With the growing number of road users, it is necessary to adopt stricter standards regarding road tunnels. In addition to meeting these safety standards, factors such as operational requirements, economic efficiency, energy efficiency and state-of-the-art technology should also be taken into account when planning and equipping tunnels.

A Muse Mashup: Dabrowski's TPD and an Eisner-esque Approach to Gifted Education
Authors: Boley Vicki
Published: October 2021

Traditional notions of intelligence are crippling the field of
Gifted Education and often, whether explicitly or implicitly, perpetuate
inequity and disproportionality throughout the field in both theory and
practice (Cross, 2021; Owens et al., 2018). A particular reason for this issue takes root in
narrow, monocultural conceptualizations of intelligence, “casting it in
singular rather than interactive disciplines and ways of representation”
(Eisner as interviewed by Buescher, 1986, p. 7). As we seek to reform Gifted
Education, “we will need to release ourselves from the grips of traditional
stereotypes about what schools should be, how teaching is to proceed, what
appropriate curriculum content entails, and how evaluation should occur”
(Eisner, p. 89). Drawing from Dabrowski’s Theory of Positive Disintegration
(TPD), particularly notions pertaining to the five Overexcitabilities and
Development Potential, as well as Eisner’s ideas concerning knowledge
acquisition through diverse forms of representation and ways of knowing, I
present various ideas and implications for the field of Gifted Education. These
ideas and implications inform many K-12 teaching and learning practices as
well.

The article is devoted to legal regulation of the mechanisms of deprivation and recovery of voting rights in the RSFSR and the USSR (1918-1936). Citizens deprived of voting rights because of their carrying on private trade, amounted to a special stratum of the population of Russia (USSR) in the 1920s - the first half of the 1930s Article is of interest to research the fact that the activities of the respective political institutions - control over the implementation of classes private trade and enterprise and the right of suffrage, has focused political, social, anthropological etc. problems inherent in Soviet society at that time. The political and legal aspects of this problem lie in the fact that disenfranchisement and control over the implementation of private trade are political institutions through which the state tried to solve its political, ideological and economic problems.

This research proves the failure to address theoretically fundamental issues of robots' legal capacity and cyber security and as a result crudity of issues concerning criminal liability of robots for their actions. The proposals of a number of Spanish scientists on the possibility of non-proliferation of the sphere of criminal law on robots in connection with the existing possibility of criminal prosecution of legal entities in Spain have been worked out. In retrospect, the Spanish concepts of criminal responsibility of artificial intelligence were studied: their novels, shortcomings and problems of application in modern conditions were revealed.

The processes of formation, evolution and functioning of local government bodies in the Western provinces of the Russian Empire in the late XYHI - first half of the XIX centuries in the historiography of the XIX-XX centuries were not studied holistically. In the studies of historians factual material was mainly accumulated, and the scientific value of the works of this period lies in the creation of an empirical base for theoretical generalizations and conclusions. However, the research of these scientists is of invaluable importance, since the accumulated and published documents, statistical and ethnographic materials serve as a base for studying certain aspects of the functioning of local state administration bodies in the western provinces.
Historical forms of the prevalence of legal structures in armed conflicts
Authors: Martynenko Evgeny
Published: October 2021

Despite the significant progress made by modern international law in regulating the use of force in international relations, armed conflicts remain a daily reality even after the adoption of the UN Charter. The nature of the legal regulation of armed conflicts is determined by humane values that are common to all mankind and do not depend on considerations of cultural relativism.

Published: October 2021

Virus Corona atau severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) adalah virus yang menyerang sistem pernapasan. Penyakit karena infeksi virus ini disebut Covid-19. Virus Corona bisa menyebabkan gangguan ringan pada sistem pernapasan, infeksi paru-paru yang berat, hingga kematian. Partisipasi masyarakat menjadi kunci utama untuk pencegahan penyebaran wabah Covid-19. Pemerintah menganjurkan masyarakat untuk menerapkan social distancing (pembatasan sosial) dan physical distancing (pembatasan fisik) guna memotong rantai penyebaran virus tersebut. Namun banyak masyarakat yang belum sadar akan bahaya Covid-19 , sehingga peran masyarakat dalam upaya pencegahan penyebaran Covid-19 masih kurang signifikan. Inisiatif yang dilakukan masyarakat Indonesia untuk berpartisipasi dalam penanggulangan pandemik Covid-19 di masa awal pandemi bertujuan untuk mencegah penyebaran Covid-19 dan mengurangi dampak Covid-19 khususnya secara ekonomi.

Indigenous People in Aotearoa New Zealand are Overrepresented in Cannabis Convictions
Authors: Scarf Damian , Rapana Wetini Atutahi , Winter Taylor , Riordan Benjamin , Fox Ririwai , Kulkarni Rajas , Waitoki Waikaremoana
Published: October 2021

Background: Previous work has demonstrated that cannabis laws have had a disproportionate impact on Māori, the Indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand. In an attempt to address this bias, the New Zealand Government amended cannabis laws in 2019, providing police with the power to determine whether a health-centred approach would be more beneficial than a conviction. In the current study, we use population level data to assess whether this law change has ameliorated the bias in cannabis convictions for Māori.Methods: Data were drawn from the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI), a large government database hosted by Aotearoa New Zealand’s national statistics office. After constructing the population in the IDI, and filtering down to those who 1) were between 18 and 65, 2) were Māori or Pākehā and, 3) had any cannabis charges that proceeded to the courts, we had a sample of over 2,000 individuals.Results: Māori ethnicity was a significant predictor of the likelihood of receiving a cannabis conviction for Māori males, with a marginal effect for Māori females. Further, there was no reduction in the number of cannabis charges before vs. after the amendment to cannabis laws.Conclusion: The current study demonstrates that the 2019 amendment has not ameliorated the bias in cannabis convictions for Māori. Given this, the New Zealand Government must follow other countries around the world and move forward on cannabis law reform.
An Adaptive Linear Filter model of procedural category learning
Authors: Marchant Nicolas , Canessa Enrique , Chaigneau Sergio
Published: October 2021

We use a feature-based association model to fit grouped and individual level category learning and transfer data. The model assumes that people use corrective feedback to learn individual feature to categorization-criterion correlations and combine those correlations additively to produce classifications. The current model is an Adaptive Linear Filter (ALF) with logistic output function and Least Mean Squares learning algorithm. Categorization probabilities are computed by a logistic function. Our data spans over 31 published data sets. Both at grouped and individual level analysis levels, the model performs remarkably well, accounting for large amounts of available variances. Notably, the model achieves its fits with a very minimal number of free parameters. We discuss the ALF’s advantages as a model of procedural categorization, in terms of its simplicity, its ability to capture empirical trends and its ability to solve longstanding challenges to similar models. In particular, we discuss why the model is not equivalent to a prototype model, as previously thought.

Objective: Phragmanthera capitata is a parasitic plant employed in the treatment of wide range of disorders in Cameroon folkloric medicine. The present study was carried out to evaluate lipogenic property of aqueous extract of the whole plant in alloxan-induced diabetic Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: Diabetic rats were grouped and treated as follows: Group I (control) received 10 ml/kg saline, Group II (standard) received 600 µg/kg glibenclamide and Groups III-V (tests) received 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg aqueous extract of P. capitata (AEPC) respectively for 15 days. Body weights of animals were recorded and blood glucose levels were assessed from tail prick in the course of the experiment. At the end of the experimental period, the animals were sacrificed and blood was collected via cardiac puncture for lipid profiling. Results: Body weight revealed a significant (P ≤0.05) increase except for the group treated with 400 mg/kg extract as compared to control group. Treatment with extract did not result in any significant change (P ≥0.05) in blood glucose level at all extract concentrations. However, the extract at 200 mg/kg significantly (P ≤0.05) reduced total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), non-high density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol levels, LDL/HDL ratio and significantly increased high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. Conclusion: Considering that lipogenesis encompasses both fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis, P. capitata aqueous extract at 200 mg/kg acted as anti-lipogenic agent. The extract also potentiated weight gain but exhibited non-significant (P ≥0.05) effect on blood glucose concentrations at the dose levels used.

Red fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lamk) empirically has been used Papuapeople , Indonesia as a natural medicine to treat a variety of diseases including cancer, HIV / AIDS, herpes and diabetes. The information about the toxicity of this plant is very important considering this plant is potential as medicine. The aim of this study is to determine acute toxicity of red fruit oil and its effect on hepatic enzyme level (AST and ALT). The oil was extracted by heat extraction method. Acute toxicity testing conducted based on OECD 423 guideline. In acute toxicity study, the oral dose of red fruit oil was administrated to 3 group (300, 2000 and 5000 mg/kg BW) in single dose. The general behaviour, adverse effect and clinical symptom was observed every hour in first 4 hours, 24 hours,48 hours, and continue to observe for 14 days after administration of red fruit oil. No animals showed toxic symptoms in 300 and 2000 mg/kg dosing group. One animal in 5000 mg/kg BW dosing group had diarrhea one hour after administration. No animal dead in this experiment after 14 days observation. AST and ALT mean value for rats on 300 mg/kg BW, 2000 mg/kg BW, and 5000 mg/kg BW dosing groups are 22.70±1:05 IU/L , 24.15±8.89 IU/L and 24.54 ± 6.26 IU/L and 18.04 ± 0.77 IU / L,19.69 ± 3.08 IU/L, 16.78±1.60 IU / L, respectively. No statistically significant difference of the value of AST and ALT levels in each treatment group (p>0.05). Based on the 2001 OECD acute toxicity, red fruit can be categorized as Category 5 GHS (Globally Harmonized System for Chemical Classification Subtances and Mixtures) as practically non-toxic materials.
Distribution Pattern of Genus Taraxacum in the Nepalese Himalayas
Authors: Luintel Sanjeev
Published: October 2021

The flowering plant diversity in Nepal is very rich with wide range of distribution due to overlap of different phytogeographical regions. In this study, we accounted the distribution pattern of genus Taraxacum belonging to the family Asteraceae. We included 14 species of Nepalese species which have wide range of altitudinal distribution i.e. from tropical region of Terai (720 m asl) to high Himalayas (4850 m asl) and east to west horizontal distribution with most of the species dominant in the central region of Nepal. Most of the species disappear or die during the dry winter season and their flowering starts by the starting of the Monsoon. These species within the genus have extended flowering period which is not strictly constrained by the monsoon. Taraxacum species richness increases along the elevation gradient from west to east across Nepal, in relation to the increased intensity of the monsoon.
