The Practices of Intelligence Led-policing in the Oromia Regional State
Authors:   Oromia Police College, Wolde Arsi , Setu Gosa ,   Oromia Police College
Published: December 2024

Intelligence led-policing is a management system and leadership philosophy that effectively coordinatesthesharing of criminal information and maximizes strategicleadership and decision making. However, intelligence led-policing (ILP) model is not effectively practiced across the world due to various reasons. Consequently, ILP is not able to address the social problems and issues. There have been no sufficient studies on the practices of intelligence-led policing in the Oromia National Regional State. The main objective of this study was to assess the practice of intelligence-led policing in the region. To achieve this, the researchers used a questionnaire, FGD, and key informant interviews as tools of data collection. The result of the study depicted that police activities were incident-driven, there were more untrained community policing officers deployed across the region. Crime investigation and prevention were not supported by Intelligence Led-policing, andthe three Police Training Centers of the region did not offer courses on Intelligence Led-policing. Moreover, this study concluded that the police and community were not cooperating, the majority of police members did not participate in information collection, and there was no system for collecting data in the community policing department. Furthermore, the Intelligence Led policing department at all levels did not have any job description, so that Intelligence Led Policing could not be implemented as expected. As a result, police leaders have been made decisions without analyzing information scientifically and the activities of the police have not successfully handled crimes, specifically terrorism and corruption issues. The study recommended that the strategic police and political leaders of Oromia National Regional State should reach a consensus to change the policing services to proactive policing by exhibiting sound evidence of the negative impact of the present models of policing practiced in the regional state.

“Mange af de ting, jeg glæder mig til, er også mange af de ting, der skræmmer mig”
Authors: Klein Anne-Louise Karstoft , Nyvang Anne-Lisbeth , Prinds Christina
Published: December 2024

This qualitative study delves into the reflections of eight Danish midwifery students regarding their profession. Despite midwives' pivotal role in maternal care, little attention has been given to understanding the reflections of those preparing to enter this profession. The findings revealed a nuanced interplay of ambivalence, worry, doubt, excitement, and expectations that shaped students' perceptions. Amidst students' apprehensions were also thoughts about resilience. Engaging in dialogue with other newly educated midwives was perceived as a valuable resource by participants.
Når børn mistrives: Hvilke coping-mekanismer er på spil i samarbejder på tværs?
Authors: Jørgensen Emma Borup , Birkelund Rosa , Høybye-Mortensen Matilde
Published: December 2024

Working with children who are not thriving often requires collaboration across professional and organizational boundaries. In this paper, we focus on individual street-level bureaucrats’ (shortened SLB) coping mechanisms employed in collaboration with other professionals either internally in the same organization (school or daycare) or outside the organization (e.g. between schoolteachers and family therapists or psychologists). We argue that the service delivery of today is not only dependent on the individual SLBs but also heavily dependent on the division of labor between different actors. In our case, the support of a child depends a lot on how teachers collaborate with other professionals in other organizations. Coping mechanisms have mainly been studied as behavioral efforts employed by SLBs in client relations. This article expands the existing knowledge by applying a SLB perspective and focusing on individual coping strategies in collaborative work. A research project was conducted in seven Danish municipalities including 35 interviews conducted with six different professions, who is involved in either everyday care of children in daycare or schools or are experts called upon. We identify three families of coping mechanisms at play in the collaborative work: 1) Passing the buck, 2) Preparing and anticipating, and 3) Omissions.

O ewolucji warunków świadczenia usług turystycznych z perspektywy interesu konsumenta
Authors:   Zakład Prawa na Wydziale Turystyki i Rekreacji, Akademia Wychowania Fizycznego w Krakowie, Cybula Piotr
Published: December 2024

Celem artykułu jest wskazanie na ewolucję warunków świadczenia usług turystycznych z punktu widzenia interesu konsumenta tych usług. Autor wyróżnia dwie tendencje. Po pierwsze, ogólną tendencję liberalizacyjną. Po drugie, w zakresie niektórych regulacji odwrotny proces, związany zwłaszcza z zabezpieczeniem finansowym na wypadek niewypłacalności organizatorów turystyki i pośredników turystycznych oraz regulacją działalności przedsiębiorców ułatwiających nabywanie powiązanych usług turystycznych. Przedmiotem analizy są przede wszystkim regulacje ustawy z dnia 29 sierpnia 1997 r. o usługach turystycznych (od 1 lipca 2018 r. ustawy o usługach hotelarskich oraz usługach pilotów wycieczek i przewodników turystycznych) oraz ustawy z dnia 24 listopada 2017 r. o imprezach turystycznych i powiązanych usługach turystycznych, której przepisy częściowo zastąpiły przepisy ustawy o usługach turystycznych. Wbrew spotykanym często w literaturze postulatom wskazującym na potrzebę zaostrzenia regulacji w zakresie przedmiotowych wymagań, w artykule wskazuje się, iż ważny interes publiczny za tym najczęściej nie przemawia. W najbliższym czasie ustawodawca powinien dokonać jednak przeglądu obecnych regulacji, co czyni zasadnym przedstawienie niniejszego artykułu.
Absurd Life Simulated Upon the Blank Canvas of the World
Authors: Dwyer William
Published: December 2024

Cormac McCarthy’s novel The Road (2006) and Albert Camus’ The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), grapple with the choice of suicide versus struggle when meaning is exposed as socially fabricated. McCarthy declares, “there is no god and we are his prophets”, a dismal idea if one is searching for external meaning but conversely an empowering permission to create. McCarthy juxtaposes a father who chooses to produce absurd meaning with a mother who rationally commits suicide. Using Jean Baudrillard’s philosophical lens to read The Road, forces the reader to walk through a world of simulacra where floating signifiers are detached from meaning. Combining The Road, Simulacra and Simulation, and The Myth of Sisyphus, exposes that living is irrational because the simulation we have incarcerated ourselves within is absurd; however, McCarthy shows that in embracing the artistic struggle of creating a personal construct we feel most alive.
En brennende kniv: Selvmord, sublimering og slapstick i Arne Østrings «Ut av stillheten»
Authors: Auklend Morten
Published: December 2024

Arne Østrings kortprosatekst «Ut av stillheten» kan saktens leses som en lettere komisk tekst om en japansk kamikaze-pilots – en selvmordsbombers – umulige tokt mot en militært overlegen fiende, men mer interessant er det at teksten balanserer en krigslogikk og en rasjonell psykologi, at den skriver frem kamikaze-krigens premisser og forhistorie, og ikke minst at den situerer selvmorderen som det sosiologen Norbert Elias kalte homo clausus: det isolerte, lukkede mennesket som føler seg alene i verden. Og endelig demonstrerer teksten at selve lesningen av litterære selvmord alltid må være en lesning av teksten.
"Det var krefter i det der lille vesenet"
Authors: Stranda Sigurd
Published: December 2024

I Laila Stiens novelle «Markblomster» beretter novellens forteller historien om sin bror og hans kjærlighetsforhold til Alice, ei byjente som ender med å ta sitt eget liv ved å kjøre bilen deres på havet. Artikkelen analyserer novellen med spesielt blikk for hvordan novellens forteller anvender strategier for å ta kontroll over selvmordsnarrativet og aktivt undertrykker den dødes perspektiv. Dette settes inn i den bredere tendensen til å ikle selvmordsfortellinger i stillhetsmetaforer. Videre leses dette som et utslag av det Peter Wessel Zapffe i Om det tragiske (1941) kaller fortielse, altså opprettholdelsen av den gode tone for å ivareta det han kaller det autoteliske håp. Via Zapffes tragedieteori argumenterer jeg at novellens tragiske potensiale ikke lar seg begrense til det individuelle selvmordet, men også, gjennom fortellerens narrative strategier, at den avdekker et menneskelig behov for å fortie eksistensens tragiske sider som sådan.
«Jeg finner trøst i andre med store sorger»
Authors: Domsa Zsófia
Published: December 2024

Artikkelen analyserer Tiril Broch Aakres selvbiografiske roman Mødre og døtre (2019) som pårørendefortelling og et skjønnlitterært dobbeltportrett. Romanen skildrer en suicidal mor og viser hvordan sorgen påvirker datterens oppfatning av seg selv og sin rolle som datter og mor. Gjennom sitater fra morens brev, bøker hun har lest, samt gjengivelse av morens notater fra et sykehusopphold, skapes det en flerstemmighet i romanen som gir et svar på det narrative og omsorgsetiske dilemmaet om hvordan det er mulig å fortelle om moren og selvmordet uten å svekke hennes verdighet. Samtidig fremmer verket et annerledes syn på suicidalitet og selvmord enn den rådende oppfatningen i dagens samfunn.
De, du, jeg
Authors: Meyer Pernille
Published: December 2024

I denne artikel analyserer jeg Niviaq Korneliussens behandling af den aktuelle grønlandske selvmordsproblematik i romanen Blomsterdalen (2020). Romanen er – efter forfatterens eget udsagn – «politisk», hvilket rejser en række spørgsmål: Hvorfor skrive en roman i stedet for et debatindlæg? Hvad er det for mulighedsrum, fiktionen åbner? Og på hvilke – og anderledes – måder kan en roman være med til at diskutere og nuancere politiske, kulturelle og menneskelige forhold? Med afsæt i retorisk fiktionalitetsteori fokuserer jeg på Korneliussens brug af lokal fiktionalitet i form af dødsrepræsentationer, komposition og pronominale skift og viser, hvordan hun, bl.a. gennem romanens nedtællingsspor, fremskriver perspektiver, der synes utilgængelige uden for litteraturens verden.
Ungdom, selvmord og suicidal overlevelse i Heine T. Bakkeids Uten puls (2006), Oliver Lovrenskis da vi var yngre (2023) og Simon Strangers 304 dager (2021)
Authors: Moi Ruben
Published: December 2024

Hvorfor tar ungdom livet av seg? Hvordan blir ungdomsselvmord fremstilt i samtidens ungdomslitteratur? En selvmordstekst kan i sin enkleste forstand defineres som et fiktivt litteraturverk der selvmord utgjør hovedhendelsen for den suicidale personens død eller overlevelse, og for de pårørendes opplevelse og utfordringer. Denne artikkelen analyserer hvordan ungdomsromanene Uten puls (2006) av Heine T. Bakkeid, da vi var yngre (2023) av Oliver Lovrenski og 304 dager (2021) av Simon Stranger fremstiller ulike årsakssammenhenger for selvmord og overlevelse, samt pårørendes opplevelse og betydning. Analysene av disse selvmordsungdomsromanene er i all hovedsak litterære, selv om de også drar veksler på Durkheims sosiologiske betraktninger i Selvmordet (1897), Freuds psykoanalyse og Camus’ filosofiske klassiker Myten om Sisyfos (1942).

Jernalder og mellomalder på kysten av Nord-Troms og Finnmark - Samisk kunnskap og levevis i møte med norrøne og østlige grupper

Mangeromstuftene ligger på steder som også har samiske kulturminner fra jernalder og mellomalder. Kanskje var den samiske bruken og kunnskapen samene hadde om ressurser og ressurstilgang en faktor som også gjorde stedene attraktive for de som anla mangeromshusene? La oss se på hvilke spor vi finner etter den samiske befolkninga fra jernalder og århundrene før mangeromshusene kom til. Hva prega situasjonen og hvordan påvirka mangeromshusene samisk byggeskikk?

Deep convolutional neural network architecture for facial emotion recognition
Authors: Pruthviraja Dayananda , Mohan Kumar Ujjwal , Parameswaran Sunil , Guna Chowdary Vemulapalli , Bharadwaj Varun
Published: December 2024

Facial emotion detection is crucial in affective computing, with applications in human-computer interaction, psychological research, and sentiment analysis. This study explores how deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) can enhance the accuracy and reliability of facial emotion detection by focusing on the extraction of detailed facial features and robust training techniques. Our proposed DCNN architecture uses its multi-layered design to automatically extract detailed facial features. By combining convolutional and pooling layers, the model effectively captures both subtle facial details and higher-level emotional patterns. Extensive testing on the benchmark Fer2013Plus dataset shows that our DCNN model outperforms traditional methods, achieving high accuracy in recognizing a variety of emotions. Additionally, we explore transfer learning techniques, showing that pre-trained DCNNs can effectively handle specific emotion recognition tasks even with limited labeled data.Our research focuses on improving the accuracy of emotion detection, demonstrating the model’s capability to capture emotion-related facial cues through detailed feature extraction. Ultimately, this work advances facial emotion detection, with significant applications in various human-centric technological fields.
Diálogo competitivo: uma análise da nova lei de licitações e os princípios do Direito Administrativo
Authors: Alves Maryanna Luyza Quixaba , Mariz Laíse , Coelho Isadora Moura Fé Cavalcanti
Published: December 2024

O trabalho trata do Diálogo Competitivo como modalidade de licitação prevista na Lei nº 14.133/2021. A escolha do tema se justifica pela novidade que representa no nosso ordenamento jurídico, atraindo a necessidade de explorar as repercussões da utilização do método pela Administração Pública, suas vantagens e os desafios à implementação. No trabalho, examinamos as implicações da modalidade, analisando sua relação com os princípios de competitividade, razoabilidade e interesse público; as hipóteses de aplicabilidade; descrição das etapas; benefícios e desafios à implementação do Diálogo Competitivo. A pesquisa classifica-se como qualitativa, exploratória, monográfica e baseada em documentação indireta (pesquisa bibliográfica). Concluímos que o Diálogo Competitivo tem capacidade de promover inovação e eficiência na contratação pública, mas sua implantação enfrentará desafios como transparência, regulamentação complexa, possíveis atrasos no processo de aquisição, dificuldades na avaliação das propostas, custos adicionais e a necessidade de expertise adequada por parte da entidade contratante.
Análise da percepção dos proprietários de lojas de vestuário no triângulo mineiro sobre as estratégias do layout como fator competitivo
Authors: Martins Lucas Carvalho , Martins Nayany Santos , Parreira Caroline de Paula , Silva Lorena Rufino
Published: December 2024

O layout é uma estratégia que visa melhorar a qualidade e eficiência do processo de vendas e está intimamente relacionado a distribuição dos objetos, mercadorias e pessoas no espaço físico da loja. O arranjo físico é uma palavra frequentemente utilizada dentro da rotina de uma empresa, afinal, manter um nível produtivo elevado e atender às expectativas dos clientes depende de uma boa estruturação de layout, o que só se alcança por meio de controle e organização dentro da empresa. Sua boa gestão é indispensável para que as empresas de vestuário se tornem mais competitivas, maximizando o espaço da loja e atraindo atenção do cliente cada vez mais para as compras. O objetivo geral deste trabalho é analisar as percepções dos proprietários de lojas de vestuário na região do Triângulo Mineiro com relação às estratégias do layout como fator competitivo. A metodologia utilizada é o modelo quantitativo e qualitativo com a aplicação de estatística descritiva e inferencial. As entrevistas foram realizadas contendo 28 perguntas por meio de questionário semi-estruturado. A observação crítica através dos dados coletados revela que os lojistas entrevistados não sabem a fundo o que de fato é o layout, e as únicas estratégicas de layout usadas por eles são voltadas ao vestuário (vitrine, manequins com novidades, agrupar as peças por combinação e até mesmo deixar o ambiente desorganizado), e layout é muito mais que isso. Embora os proprietários entrevistados afirmem ter um bom entendimento do que é layout, 50% deles não sabem o tamanho da própria loja, o que demostra que eles não têm um projeto pronto sobre estruturação de layout e sem este projeto é difícil refletir e colocar em prática uma boa organização e distribuição de layout dentro das lojas. Em virtude da análise inferencial do teste Qui-Quadrado pode-se afirmar com 95% de confiança que: não existe associação entre o tempo que a loja está no mercado e a opinião do proprietário sobre a influência do layout nas vendas, pode-se afirmar também que quanto mais tempo de mercado a empresa possui, maior a vontade do proprietário em mudar o layout da loja, e pode-se considerar que conhecimento dos lojistas sobre o tema layout é muito superficial.

Authors: Mepfhuo Menguphrenuo , Thomas Prabha Lis
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Joint pain is widespread among elderly and is usually accompanied by stiffness that increases with daily activities. Ginger has been found to have similar properties to Non Steroidal Antii-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) in reducing pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal conditions.

Aim: To investigate the effect of ginger oil massage on joint pain in elderly inmates in old age homes.

Materials and Methods: The study adopted a quasiexperimental one-group pretest post-test design and the study was conducted in the old age home Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, from October 2020 to April 2021. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 30 inmates of an old age home located in Bangalore and having joint pain with a score of >1 on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scale. The demographic proforma and the WOMAC were used to collect the data. A skin test was performed, to check for any sensitivity reactions and massage using ginger essential oil diluted in coconut oil was administered on the knee joint on alternate days, for six sessions extending over a period of two weeks. The post-test was assessed after third and final (6th) session of massage. Repeated Measures (RM) Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was computed to determine the difference in pre and post-test WOMAC scores and a significance level of p<0.05 and a confidence interval of 95% was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.

Results: The mean age of the elderly was 69.500±7.505 years with a range 61-82 years. Repeated measure ANOVA demonstrated a significant difference in the second (13.10±5.38) and first post-test WOMAC scores (14.10±6.19) compared to the mean pretest WOMAC score (37.97±12.83) (F=121.14, p<0.001), indicating that ginger oil massage was effective in reducing joint pain among the elderly.

Conclusion: Ginger oil massage resulted in the reduction of knee pain and joint stiffness among elderly and therefore, can be a used as an alternative therapy for the elderly with joint pain.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Ureaplasma urealyticum (U. urealyticum) and Ureaplasma parvum (U. parvum) are the two causative agents for Sexually Transmittable Diseases (STDs), they are often accompanied by Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), vaginitis, endometriosis, etc.

Aim: To detect the prevalent genotypes/biovars of Ureaplasma species by using Duplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) in symptomatic women attending the Obstetrics and Gynaecology clinic of a tertiary care hospital.

Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, comprised of 200 symptomatic women aged from 18 to 45 years. This study was carried out in the Department of Microbiology, School of Allied Health Sciences, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute, and Mahatma Gandhi Medical Advanced Research Institute, Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, Puducherry, India for the period of January 2021 to January 2024. Duplex PCR was performed for the presence of U. urealyticum and U. parvum in endocervical samples. Amplified PCR products were analysed and the positive PCR products were sent for sequencing and the sequenced results were compared with GenBank and phylogenetic analysis was constructed. Data was analysed using Chi-square tests to test level of significance between the two groups (p-value≤0.05).

Results: The overall results found that 48 (24%) of symptomatic women were positive for Ureaplasma species. In Duplex PCR, 24 (12.0%) were positive for both urease and upv genes; followed by 15 (7.5%) for urease and 9 (4.5%) for upv genes only. The phylogenetic tree concluded that the genetic sequences of Ureaplasma species are closely related to various isolates within a species.

Conclusion: The study concludes that U. parvum is the most common pathogen in symptomatic women with predominant age of 26-35-year-old. The duplex PCR, increase the sensitivity and specificity by the application of two different genes in a single amplification reaction. Since the research will focus on different gene targets of Ureaplasma species by the application of multiplex in future study.

Authors: Shameem AM , Jayakrishnan MP , Valoor Harsha T , Fiji MD
Published: December 2024

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis in children. The clinical variants include Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP), Acute Motor Sensory Axonal Neuropathy (AMSAN), Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy (AMAN) and Miller-Fisher syndrome. Cranial nerve involvement can occur in approximately 50% of patients with GBS, but it is rarely reported in the AMAN variant. Ptosis as a presenting symptom is extremely rare in the AMAN variant. Autonomic dysfunction is also rarely reported in the AMAN variant. In the present case series, authors hereby, report five children (3 males, 2 females, aged 4-11 years) diagnosed with the AMAN variant of GBS, who presented with early onset of ptosis and rapid progression of flaccid weakness. Autonomic dysfunction, in the form of tachycardia, hypertension and excessive diaphoresis, was a prominent feature in four of the cases. The average time to reach the nadir of weakness was 4.2 days and the average duration of hospital stay was 58 days. The average GBS disability score at discharge was four. Nerve conduction studies were suggestive of the AMAN variant of GBS in all five cases. All children were treated with Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIg) and all required mechanical ventilation, with an average duration of 35.8 days. All five cases presented in a short period of three months, from November 2022 to February 2023.

Authors: S. Abhishek , Parayil Chitra
Published: December 2024

Aim: This study explores the socioeconomic factors influencing the collection of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) among tribal communities in Wayanad, Kerala, South India. It also examines their perceptions of the decline in NTFP availability and their awareness about the conservation measures necessary to address the issue.
Methodology: The data was collected from 105 households to assess NTFP dependency, and their perceptions. Multilinear regression was used to analyse the factors affecting NTFP collection and Likert scale was utilized to understand their perception and awareness.
Results: Results revealed significant gender disparities, with men primarily involving in physically demanding NTFP collection activities. The findings indicated a relatively low interest among the youth towards NTFP collection, with younger generation increasingly disengaging in favour of alternative employment opportunities linked to higher education. variables such as tribal group, land ownership, total marketing expenditure, income from wages, agricultural income, and overall annual income significantly influenced total NTFP income levels. Majority of tribals had a medium level of awareness, recognizing the primary causes of decline but lacked a comprehensive understanding.
Conclusion: The study emphasizes the urgent need for integrating traditional ecological knowledge with modern conservation practices, promoting sustainable harvesting methods, enhancing market infrastructure, and the need for targeted interventions that empower women in NTFP-related livelihoods, offering them training and access to higher-value NTFP collections. Addressing these challenges is crucial for the social upliftment of tribal communities and sustainable management of NTFPs.

Air pollution is a worldwide ecological problem that threatens human health through harmful emissions as vehicular exhaust emission. There is a need to examine ecological role of plants growing around major roads to identify their susceptibility and resistance towards air pollutants. Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) and Expected Performance Index (EPI) of some plants growing along Nsukka - Enugu road in Enugu State, Nigeria were estimated to explore plants’ ability to absorb air pollutants. Twenty-eight plant species comprising herbs, shrubs and tree species were sampled and determination of APTI used combined biochemical parameters measurements. The APTI results showed that herbs are sensitive with APTI range of < 7 to 11.91, shrubs are mostly moderate tolerant with range of 9.38 to ≤ 17.43 while trees species are tolerant that ranged from ≥ 10.58 to ≥ 23.26 at t ≤ 1.51, p>0.05 in the experimental and control sites respectively. Based on APTI grades, Rauvolfia. vomitoria (11.91) had highest sensitive index and Erigeron canadensis (6.45) had the least, Persea americana (16.11) had highest moderate tolerant index and Ricinus. communis had the least while Terminalia. catappa (23.26) produced the highest tolerant index and Gmelina arborea (17.50) had the least in the experimental site. The EPI revealed that plants can be categorized as fit, very fit and unfit for plantation and those under ‘excellent to best’ performer category can be highly recommended as ‘very fit’ for plantation to control air pollution. Dacryodes edulis (94.74%) was in the ‘Best’ performer category and the best recommended species for plantation planting to monitor and control air pollutants.

Perturbation in antioxidant status which often leads to inflammation of liver cells and alteration in activities of purinergic enzymes are common outcomes of ethanol intoxication, this makes any compound that is able to prevent or repair the redox imbalances induced by alcohol intoxication a potential therapeutic measure. Hence, this study aims to assess the effect of diphenyl diselenide (DPDSe) on oxidative stress indicators, inflammatory genes and activities of purinergic enzymes in ethanol intoxicated male Wistar rats. 10mg/kg DPDSe was administered orally 30 minutes before and after a single dose of 13 ml/kg (28% ethanol solution) was given to the rats. Thereafter, the antioxidant status, activities of purinergic enzymes and expression of redox-sensitive genes in the rats were evaluated. It was observed that ethanol evoked high production of lipid peroxidation with concomitant decrease in thiol level, increased Nucleotidase and NTPDase activities, it also causes the downregulation of Nrf2 and upregulation of (NF-kB), however, pre- and post-treatment with DPDSe caused a reversal effects on the biochemical parameters and molecular parameters evaluated respectively. The reversal of ethanol-induced changes in biochemical parameters, expression of genes linked to inflammation and antioxidant status in the liver of acute ethanol intoxicated rats by DPDSe suggests that it has high prospect as a suitable therapeutic agent for hepatotoxicity linked with acute ethanol intoxication.
