Published: June 2018

A hard cap espresso machine was employed for the extraction of polyphenolic compounds from food samples as dry legumes and pulses. 100 mg of ground dry sample was mixed with a dispersing agent and placed in a refillable stainless steel capsule with a borosilicate filter. A complete polyphenol extraction was achieved by using 150 mL ethanol 50 % (v/v) in water and determined by Folin-Ciocalteu spectrophotometric method. The method provided a limit of detection of 0.4 mg g-1. The whole extraction procedure was achieved in less than one minute using the mild extraction conditions of 72°C and 19 bars given by the domestic machine. Fifteen varieties of food samples (3 lentils, 6 beans, 5 chickpeas, and 1 sorghum) were purchased in Spanish and Tunisian markets and analyzed by the proposed procedure. Obtained results were compared with those found by a reference extraction method based on ultrasound-assisted extraction, being statistically comparable. The content of polyphenolic compounds in the analyzed commercial samples varied from 4.6 to 5.5 mg g-1 for lentils, from 3.4 to 5.8 mg g-1 for beans, from 2.2 to 3.5 mg g-1 for chickpeas, and 3.0 mg g-1 for sorghum.

Published: June 2018

Due to the essential nature of selenium and the beneficial effects attributed to the consumption of selenized plants in human and animal health. The accumulation, metabolism in plants and the effects of this element on the nutritional quality of exposed crops is still a subject of study. The selenium plant enrichment, in addition to providing dietary supplements with organic selenium species as SeMet and MeSeCys, could be a strategy to yield functional foods that guarantee the recommended absorption of other essential minerals. To contributing to the design of biofortification/supplementation strategies to obtain selenized edible sprouts, in this work were selected four types of plants commonly consumed in Mexico (radish, alfalfa, sunflower and chard), which were exposed to different concentrations of sodium selenite (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0 and 10 mg of Se L-1) for 10 days. At the end of the exposure time, the growth, uptake and biotransformation from iSe to oSe, as well as the impact of Se on the content of other essential elements were evaluated. The results obtained indicate that alfalfa could be a good candidate to produce selenized food supplement, due to its short germination time (5 days), high yield of biomass production without growth inhibition up to selenite concentration corresponding to 10 mg L-1. Using this exposure condition, tSe accumulated in biomass is high (75.0 mg g-1) with 66% of iSe transformed to oSe in plant and with enhanced uptake of important minerals, namely Cu, Mn, Mo, Ca and K.

Published: June 2018

Microfinance is defined as the provision of financial services such as micro-credit, micro savings, and micro insurance for individuals with low income. Although access to micro credit is seen as a right to have credit, it rather represents a right to development and economic initiatives that could change the borrower’s way of life. The purpose of this article is to examine the impact of microfinance loans in improving the living conditions of borrowers. This study is based on an empirical investigation of 384 structured questionnaires directed at microfinance institutions in the regions of Vlore and Fier, Albania.
Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae survival in point-inoculated kiwifruit vines
Authors: Tyson Joy L. , Manning Michael A. , Mellow Kieran D. , Vergara Michelle J.
Published: June 2018

The survival and spread over time of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) in point-inoculated kiwifruit vines is poorly understood. Forty-eight 2-year-old vines of Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa ‘Hayward’ and A. chinensis var. chinensis ‘Hort16A’ were inoculated 30 cm above the crown, either during the active growth (autumn) or dormant  (winter) period in two successive years. Vines were cultivated for 3—4 years, after which bacterial isolations were made at intervals along the vines from crown to tip. Psa was found up to 220 cm above the inoculation point and in some of the crowns, 30 cm below the inoculation point. The sites where Psa was found within vines were not always contiguous. Fewer vines of ‘Hayward’ developed serious symptoms or died than ‘Hort16A’; however, more surviving vines of ‘Hayward’ were Psa-positive than those of ‘Hort16A’. Psa was able to survive for at least 4 years in apparently healthy kiwifruit vines. This has implications for the movement of asymptomatic budwood to areas without Psa.

Синтезированы различные по структуре пептидные агонисты опиоидных рецепторов — глудалан, дельтолей и даларгин — и проведена оценка их инфаркт-лимитирующего эффекта. У крыс воспроизводили коронароокклюзию (45 мин) и реперфузию (2 ч). Опиоидные пептиды вводили за 5 мин до реперфузии: даларгин и глудалан в дозе 0,1 мг/кг, дельтолей — 0,03, 0,1 и 0,2 мг/кг. Установлено, что глудалан и дельтолей в дозе 0,1 мг/кг уменьшают соотношение размер инфаркта/область риска (РИ/ОР), а даларгин не влияет на размер инфаркта. Инфаркт-лимитирующий эффект дельтолея исчезает при уменьшении (0,03 мг/кг) или увеличении (0,2 мг/кг) дозы пептида. Антагонисты опиоидных рецепторов налтрексон (5 мг/кг) или налоксона метиодид (5 мг/кг), не проникающий через гематоэнцефалический барьер, устраняют инфаркт-лимитирующий эффект глудалана.

Conflictos territoriales y estrategias empresariales en materia de responsabilidad social empresarial (rse): repensando categorías de análisis
Authors: Pelegrin Gustavo , Fleker Laila , Pasquale María Florencia , Ferrero Aurelio
Published: June 2018

En este trabajo se analizarán algunas prácticas de responsabilidad social empresarial (RSE), en pos de visibilizar las múltiples estrategias de inversión desenvueltas en el marco de un programa habitacional desarrollado en Puesto Viejo, provincia de Jujuy, Argentina, durante los años 2013-2016, por una empresa cementera multinacional. La literatura en materia de RSE, más próxima a los estudios del management, no problematiza la conflictividad social del entorno en que se desarrolla la actividad empresarial en materia ambiental y urbana. Por el contrario, las dimensiones éticas y filantrópicas de su actividad orientan un contenido hacia un público determinado unilateralmente. Por ello, a modo de hipótesis, se sostiene que el reconocimiento del carácter conflictivo de la empresa como actor local en la asignación del territorio es reemplazado por una política dirigida a la gestión de la conflictividad local sin que necesariamente se atenúen los impactos producidos

A Study of Person Identification using Keystroke Dynamics and Statistical Analysis
Authors: Hegde Nikhil Ashok
Published: June 2018

In this paper, a basic study of closed-set
identification using keystroke dynamics and simple statistical
analysis has been carried out. Dwell time, flight time and one
additional feature called key affinity are used as useridentifying
features. The timing information is passed
through a statistical layer to produce mean and standard
deviation. This information is combined with key affinity to
identify a rank-based person list. In conclusion, we compare
the performance of this setup with other setups. This work
aims to suggest that a keystroke dynamics system relying on
pure statistics as its underlying algorithm may not be
sufficiently accurate

Now a days the Indian banking sector has been
facing serious problems of raising Non – Performing
Assets. Non – Performing Assets are a burning topic of
concern for the public sector banks, as managing and
controlling NPA is very important. A well – built banking
sector is significant for a prosperous economy. The crash of
banking sector may have an unfavourable blow on other
sectors. A banker should be very cautious in lending,
because banker is not lending money out of his own pocket.
A major portion of the money lent comes from the public
deposits and government share. At present NPA is
increasing year by year in nationalized banks. According to
the RBI data the Gross NPA of nationalised banks as on
end of September 2017 hits 7.34 lakh crore. In this
direction present paper is undertaken to study the reasons
for advances becoming NPA of the Pithoragarh District

Study of Correlation of Neonatal Outcomes with Gross Abnormalities of Placenta and Umbilical Cord
Authors: Nair Bindu T , Raju Uma
Published: June 2018

Introduction: Perinatal outcome of new-borns is greatly influenced by abnormalities of placenta and umbilical cord. In most of the deliveries, whether home or institutional, the placenta and umbilical cords are discarded without examination. Due to paucity of information on abnormalities of placenta and cord, there is hardly any correlation with foetal outcomes. The aim was to study the correlation between the foetal outcome and the different types of abnormalities of placenta and umbilical cord.Materials and Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive, randomised study was conducted from January 2016 to December 2016 in a tertiary care hospital in North India. The study was carried out on 1000 term singleton newborns. The placenta and umbilical cords were obtained from both normal and caesarean section deliveries. A proforma was used to gather data from the patients and new-borns. Statistical analysis was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, IBM version) along with Microsoft Excel (2010 version).Results: One thousand placentae and umbilical cords were examined of which high placental weight/birth weight ratio, gross anomalies of placenta (infarctions, calcifications and retro placental haematoma), marginal (battledore and velamentous) umbilical cord insertions, long umbilical cords and single umbilical artery were associated with negative foetal outcomes.Conclusions: There was a high incidence of adverse foetal outcome with placental and umbilical cord abnormalities. Education of our health personnel dealing with deliveries on the importance of proper examination of the placenta and umbilical cords should be emphasised and instituted upon.

Published: June 2018

Introduction: The emotional and psychosocial issues surrounding HIV infection make status disclosure herculean task. Many caregivers are unwilling to disclose because they are afraid of possible unpleasant outcome. The objective of this study were to determine the prevalence rate of HIV status disclosure and possible effect on ART adherence.Material and Methods: It was a cross sectional study that involved consecutive recruitment of 94 confirmed HIV infected children aged 5-17 years. Structured questionnaire was used to obtain information on socio-demographic, disclosure and adherence. Assessment of adherence was done in the clinic by direct questioning and pill count.Results: A total of 31 (33.0%) have received a form of information regarding their HIV status. The mean age of disclosure was 12.48± 2.46 years. Majority (95.5%) of the children that received full information about their HIV status were adolescents. Circumstantial disclosure was seen in 25 (80.6%) out of the 31 subjects. A total of 61.3% of HIV status disclosure was done in hospital setting by health workers and 81.8% of subjects that were given full information about HIV were from health workers in a hospital setting. There was however no relationship between adherence to ART and status disclosure (p= 0.832).Conclusion: Age of status disclosure was rather late in this study and majority of the disclosure were consequent to prevailing circumstances in the subjects’ life. A step-wise approach to disclosure that entailed giving age dependent information as from the age of seven years is therefore recommended

One of the functions of the forest is natural disaster such as flood control and the landslide that is how these forests absorb water into the root of the tree. Most forests in North Aceh Regency is protected forest which has undergone deforestation due to the presence of illegal logging and opening of new land like planting oil palm that impact against water infiltration. This research was conducted to identify deforestation forests in 2000, 2003 and 2015 using the techniques of remote sensing by satellite images landsat landsat 7 and 8. The method used was algorithm NDVI to get the classification of forest distribution and the level of deforestation forests based on the density of the vegetation from the Forestry Department 2003. Analysis of the rate of deforestation and loss of vast forests is done by leveraging the value of NDVI and other supporting data.The results showed that the NDVI value for forest distribution based on vegetation density in 2000 was -0,620438 � 0,628743, in 2003 between -0,364238 � 0,530055 and in 2015 between -0,274592 � 0,642049. The rate of deforestation in the district of North Aceh based on the value of the vegetation index (NDVI) yields 3 classes of deforestation are severe deforestation, light deforestation and not deforested, in 2000 there was deforestation of 25,62%, in 2003 it was 99,91% and in 2015 amounted to 15,89%, most deforestation occurs in production forests.

Enterovirulent Escherichia coli remain as an important etiological agent of goat diarrhoea in Bangladesh. The present study was designed with a view to isolate and identifies E. coli from field cases. For this purpose, a total of 135 faecal samples (85 from diarrhoeic and 50 from apparently healthy goat) were collected during the period from January 2012 to July 2012 from different areas in Rangpur District. It was found that the prevalence of E. coli was higher (18.82 %) in diarrhoeic goats while it was lower (14.00 %) in non diarrhoeic goats. Age wise distribution of E. coli isolates were 26.42% in day old to 1 year, 10.53% in 1-2 years and 11.36% in above 2 years age of goat respectively. All the isolates of E. coli revealed greenish black colony with metallic sheen in Eosine methylene blue agar, bright pink color smooth transparent colony in MacConkey agar and slight pinkish smooth colony in Salmonella-Shigella agar. Gram stain and hanging drop techniques were performed with the cultured bacteria. Biochemical properties of the isolates were studied, and antibiotic sensitivity test was done by agar disk diffusion method. In Gram stain, the organisms revealed Gram negative, small rod shaped, occurs singly or paired. Biochemically, all of the isolates showed fermentation of dextrose, sucrose and maltose with the production of acid and gas, negative result to Voges-Proskauer test, positive result to Methylred test and differential result to Indol test. All the isolates of E. coli were highly sensitive to ciprofloxacin and gentamicin while moderately sensitive to colistin, livofloxacin and azithromycin and less sensitive to ceftraexon and tetracyclin and resistant to amoxycillin, ampicillin, erythromycin, and neomycin. Therefore, ciprofloxacin and gentamicin may be the antibiotics of first choice, and colistin, livofloxacin and azithromycin may be the second choice among the test antibiotics for the treatment of illness caused by these bacteria.Asian J.

The present experiment was conducted at the Germplasm Centre (GPC) of the Fruit Tree Improvement Program (FTIP), Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, during the period from June to October, 2013 to investigate the effects of scion defoliation and stock leaf retention on growth of grafted Lime (cv. BAU lime-1). The experiment consisted of two factors such as Factor A: four scion defoliation periods viz., defoliation before 9 days of grafting, defoliation before 6 days of grafting, defoliation before 3 days of grafting and defoliation on the day of grafting and Factor B: retention of leaf on rootstock below graft union viz., rootstock with leaf and rootstock without leaf. The study was laid out following Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The grafts were kept under observation in poly tunnel condition. Results revealed that highest graft height, (45.47 cm), number of leaves (15.72) and branches (2.92), length of the largest leaf(8.45cm), breadth of the largest leaf(3.77cm) were observed when scions were defoliated 6 days before grafting and lowest graft height (38.72 cm), number of leaves (12.12) and branches (2.25), length of the largest leaf(5.60cm), breadth of the largest leaf(3.37cm) were observed when scions were defoliated on the day of grafting. In respect of retention of leaves on rootstock, the highest graft height (43.83 cm), number of leaves (15.62) and branches (2.82), length of the largest leaf(7.47cm), breadth of the largest leaf(3.78cm) were found when grafting was done on rootstock with leaves and lowest graft height (39.78 cm), number of leaves (11.32) and branches (2.48), length of the largest leaf(6.57cm), breadth of the largest leaf(3.40cm) were found when grafting was done on rootstock without leaves. Therefore, the maximum growth in grafted lime seedlings can be achieved if scion defoliated 6 days prior to grafting operation and leaves are kept on root stock below graft union.Asian J. Med. Biol.

This study was undertaken to study the AI conception rate using frozen semen at field level. Five farms in Mymensingh, Bangladesh were selected for AI Trial in field ewes. Four rams were selected for semen collection, evaluation, and frozen semen production and further to study conception rate followed by intra-cervical AI in both natural and synchronized ewes. Conception rate were confirmed by non-returned rate and ultrasound scanning at 30-40 days of post insemination. The volume, colour, mass activity, sperm motility, viability, concentration, HOST +ve (%) and normal spermatozoa percentages were 0.8±0.3 ml, 3.9±0.3, 4.4±0.6, 81.3±5.0%, 90.0±4.0%, 3519.0±545.6x106/ml, 87.4±3.3% and 85.6±1.8%, respectively. The sperm concentration of ram R#6 was significantly higher (P<0.05) (4120.5±93.5x106/ml) compared with other rams. The mean motility and viability of pre-dilution, 120 minutes of addition of Part-A, 240 minutes of addition of Part-B and post-thaw were (83.8±4.8%, 81.3±2.5%, 80.0±4.1% and 41.3±9.5%) and (93.3±1.0%, 90.0±1.4%, 88.8±1.0% and 58.3±8.7%), respectively. There were no significant difference (P˃0.05) between pre-dilution and post-dilution sperm motility and viability percentage however, post-thaw sperm motility and viability significantly (P<0.05) decreased compare with the motility and viability of pre-dilution and post-dilution values. Motility and viability percentages of frozen semen did not decrease significantly (P> 0.05) with the increase of preservation time. The mean motility and viability at 24 hrs, day 7, day 15 and day 30 were 41.3±9.5%, 41.5±8.5%, 41.8±9.9% and 40.5±10.2%; and 59.0±10.1%, 58.5±7.7%, 59.0±8.8% and 57.8±8.3%, respectively. The conception rates in natural and synchronized estrous were 26.7% and 25%, respectively. There was no significant difference in conception rates between the natural and synchronized oestrous in field level. However, the present non-return rate and conception rate indicate the suitability of produced frozen semen application in the field level.Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. March 2018, 4(1): 55-62

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a leading cause of death among people in Bangladesh. The aim of the study was to analyze the clinical course and treatment strategies in patients with ACS and to determine to what extent management of ACS in a tertiary care general hospital in Bangladesh adhered to current guidelines. This study was carried out in the coronary care unit (CCU) of a tertiary care general hospital, Rajshahi, for a period of 3-months. A total number of 240 patients presenting with ACS were included in our study and the most common symptoms were acute chest pain (90%) and dyspnea (49%). The study group comprised of 27% female and 73% male patients with varying risk factors including hypertension (45%), hyperlipidemia (43%), family records of coronary artery disease (CAD) (20%), diabetes (17%) and smoking (15%). The most frequent ECG finding in patients was T wave change (71%), pathological Q wave (67%), ST segment elevation (33%), ST depression (9%), whereas, 12% patients with ACS reported to have normal ECG. Patients with ACS had elevated levels of SGOT and CK-MB. Troponin I level was positive in 100% of the patients with a mean peak troponin level of 1.5± 0.15ng/ml. In clinical setting, the patients were immediately managed with isosorbidedinitrate (58%), streptokinase (40%) and intravenous heparin (LMWH) followed by (46%) and (54%) of aspirin and aspirin-clopidogrel combinations respectively. In addition, long-term management with antihypertensive included β-blocker (58%), calcium channel blocker (29%), ACE-I (25%) and diuretics (12%). Anti-diabetic (18%) drugs were also prescribed in patients with co-existing diabetes and CAD. Adherence to guidelines is limited by lack of funds and resources in the hospital; however, attention must be paid to improve patient outcome. The average hospital stay ranges 2-3 days and hospital mortality was 10%.Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. March 2018, 4(1): 117-122
