Published: December 2022

Cardiovascular disease ranks first among the causes of morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Given the aging of the world’s population, the problem is becoming increasingly relevant and represents a significant burden on the healthcare system. Untimely and inadequately treated heart diseases lead to severe complications and disability of patients. Despite the rich arsenal of diagnostic methods, in some cases there are still significant difficulties in making a diagnosis, establishing the cause of the disease and determining the extent of damage to the myocardium and heart vessels. At the same time, a good orientation of the attending physician regarding the possibilities of diagnostic methods allows, in most cases, to obtain a complete picture of the existing cardiovascular pathology. The aim of this work was to study modern methods for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases.

The paper discusses the features of antithrombotic therapy of pregnant women suffering from congenital cardiopathologies. Providing medical care to women suffering from cardiovascular diseases and carrying a child is a difficult task due to the unique maternal physiology, which causes profound changes in many organ systems. First of all, such difficulties are caused by the presence of the fetus, since individual approaches to the treatment of cardiac diseases of the mother can have an adverse disease on the child. Conversely, the patient’s refusal of the necessary treatment due to potential harm to the fetus is fraught with a bad outcome for both the mother and the child. Physiological adaptation of the mother’s body during pregnancy can provoke cardiometabolic complications and cause thrombosis, the consequences of which can be fatal. Accordingly, the development of approaches to the organization of antithrombotic therapy of pregnant patients with cardiopathologies can contribute to improving the survival of the mother and fetus during pregnancy, as well as create prerequisites for a successful delivery and postpartum recovery of the woman and child.

This article discusses a clinical case of the manifestation of MODY2 diabetes, which complicated the course of type I diabetes mellitus in a patient of puberty. For 9 months, the dynamics of the patient’s condition was monitored, who was on inpatient treatment in the endocrinology department of the State Medical Institution of the Tambov City Hospital for the entire period of observation. The criteria for daily monitoring of the patient’s clinical condition were: blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin, the level of glucosuria, the concentration of ketone bodies in the blood and acetone in the urine. The patient underwent insulin therapy and infusion therapy. Despite the ongoing treatment, including, among other things, the treatment of complications of the underlying disease, by the 6th month the patient’s condition worsened to an extremely severe degree. Additional laboratory and instrumental diagnostic studies were conducted, including a molecular genetic study for diabetes typing, the results of which made it possible to determine the cause of the progressive course of type I diabetes mellitus, which was the clinical manifestation of MODY2 diabetes with the development of insulin tolerance against the background of hormonal adjustment of puberty. The problem of timely and accurate diagnosis, and, accordingly, correct treatment, of type I diabetes mellitus combined with MODY2 diabetes, remains urgent and serious, due to the difficulty of interpreting differential diagnostic criteria with progressive type I diabetes mellitus of childhood and adolescence, which in turn can lead to multiple complications, including fatal exodus.

Innovative and effective therapeutic approaches for diabetes such as islet cell transplantation are much needed as diabetes increases the risk of heart failure. In India, the success rate of human clinical islet transplantation (allo-or auto-) mandates sufficiency of functional islets from the pancreas of either brain-dead or chronic pancreatitis donors. Human islet transplantation outcome is significantly affected by collagenases, which decides the yield and quality of isolated pancreatic islet cells. Comparison of collagenase blends carried out in a few islet transplantation centers yields conflicting results for islet quantity and quality. Therefore, we have researched on the right blend of enzymes to achieve an efficient pancreatic islet release, first-ever in Indian population. Our prospective approach evaluated the outcome of islet isolations performed in humans with three different collagenases, namely Serva Collagenase NB1, Roche Liberase and Vitacyte supplemented with Neutral Protease NB. Eight brain-dead humans served as organ donors for pancreatic islet isolation. We modified the islet isolation method to test these three new enzymes using the traditional split pancreas methodology. The islet isolation outcomes were compared for morphological differences, yield, and viability. This was correlated statistically with the donor characteristics using graph-pad prism analysis. Islet yield was substantial in all the three enzyme blends. But post-purification of islets in the Indian population, we found that the yield was better in Serva collagenase NB1 compared to Vitacyte and Roche liberase. For every gram of pancreas, the islet yield, proportion and morphology of islet cells (both free and intact) were higher in Serva collagenase compared to the other two enzyme blends.

Authors: H. Malathi, , Т. Sanskriti, , W. Durgesh,
Published: December 2022

The early behaviors leading to the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) begin in childhood and persist throughout adulthood, even though these conditions often manifest in midlife or later. In India, it is believed that 40% of deaths are due to CVD. Unless the younger generation is informed about CVD, the risk factor for acquiring the condition, and is not prepared to deal with it, CVD will continue to be the primary cause of mortality for them. People who are more knowledgeable about health may engage in healthy habits more often than people who are less educated. Studies assessing the familiarity of Indian university students with CVD risk factors are sadly limited. The purpose of this study was to assess the students’ knowledge about CVD. For data analysis, descriptive or inferential statistics were employed. In the sample, the mean scores was 73.33% out of 100% accurate. The results of the data analysis showed that the general level of understanding of CVD risk factors was just fair. Our study shows that college students do not view CVDs as a significant danger, which may lead to poor preventive measures and unfavorable patient outcomes. More extensive and successful educational interventions are urgently needed, and they must take into account the perspectives, attitudes, and skills of the people they are intended for. College students need to be made more aware of heart disease in order to boost prevention efforts and embrace healthy lifestyles. In the future, this paper will provide awareness about heart disease and risk factors.

Published: December 2022

Obesity greatly affects the development of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disorders. The heart’s structure and function are both affected due to obesity, which may cause a variety of health problems. The consequences of obesity on the cardiovascular system were examined in this research. The present research recruited 100 participants which were statistically analyzed using the SPSS tool and Likert Scale. Using a standardized questionnaire, data were gathered on variables such as demographics, food, exercise, substance use, smoking, and drinking habits. It was found that except for the age group, where it was hypothesized that vegetarianism would have a positive correlation with age (r = 0.857, p < 0.005), and where it was hypothesized that cycling would have a strong positive correlation with weight lifting (r = 0.699, p < 0.005). As a result, the conclusion that was reached was that age range has a favorable correlation with vegetarian and physical activity cycling has a correlation with weight lifting.

Authors: A.K. Moharana, , V. Laxmi, , L. Prasad,
Published: December 2022

A leading cause of mortality around the globe is coronary artery disease (CAD). Major improvements in CAD therapy have been developed during the last ten years. According to the degree, kind, and clinical manifestation of CAD, the current treatments are either chemical treatments, surgical, or a combination of both. The bark of the Indian medicinal plant “Terminalia arjuna” has been used for decades as a heart stimulant. Several medicinal elements, including saponins and flavonoids, have been isolated from the bark. Terminalia arjuna has been the subject of numerous experimental and clinical research for its ability to treat cardiovascular diseases. Because protein-ligand interactions are important in structure-based treatment discovery, we used molecular docking to analyze Arjunolic acid (phytochemical found in T. arjuna) and examined their binding affinity against the cardiovascular target protein. The three-dimensional (3D) structure of the Human Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (Target Cardiovascular Protein) was obtained from Protein Data Bank and docked using the Autodock tool. As a result of our research, T. arjuna seems to be a good option for producing broad-spectrum medicines to treat cardiovascular disease.
Molecular Docking Study Reveals α-Santalol from Santalum album Linn. as Promising Inhibitor of CD36 for Atherosclerosis
Authors: S. Sahoo, , S. Sinha, , A. Singh,
Published: December 2022

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory vascular disease defined by the increasing buildup of cholesterol in the walls of the arteries, and it is a primary contributor to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Issues concerning the adverse effects of synthetic treatments have recently resulted in a lack of patient consultations, drug misuse, and, as a result, a disturbance in meticulous disease control. As a result, a new understanding of traditional medicines has recently developed, and much research has been undertaken on such botanicals in an attempt to produce newer naturally based drugs. Santalum album, commonly known as sandalwood is one of the promising botanicals which is rich in α-Santalol. Therefore, the present study aims at exploring the targeting ability of α-Santalol against the protein CD36 which plays a significant part in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. In this research, a computation approach using Autodock4 is carried out which revealed negative binding energy of 9.10Kcal/mol highlighting the potential of α-Santalol for the effective management of cardiovascular diseases like atherosclerosis. However, there is still a need to validate the findings of this research with both, In Vivo and In Vitro studies.

Published: December 2022

In many countries, heart disease is the main cause of mortality. Heart diseases are often identified by doctors based on recent clinical trial results and their prior experience treating patients who present comparable symptoms. Patients with heart disease require early diagnosis, prompt treatment or constant monitoring. The purpose of this study is to look into the numerous data mining technologies that have recently been developed for predicting heart disease. According to observations, 15 feature neural networks outperform all other data mining methodologies. Another finding from the analysis is that decision trees using genetic algorithms or feature subset selection have good accuracy. The results illustrate that the same classifier can occasionally produce precise results that change depending on the data mining approach used. According to the findings, a neural network with 15 characteristics has so far achieved a maximum efficiency of 100%. Decision Tree, on the other hand, has also done well, with 98.65% accuracy and 15 features.

Authors: S. Gupta, , M. Sethi,
Published: December 2022

This research will concentrate primarily on commodity relationships, mainly, prices of oil (OP) and gold (GP), US stock market (S&P500), consumer confidence index (CCI), the US Dollar index (USDX), and the industrial production (IP). The purpose of the analysis is to study the dynamic interconnection between OP, USDX, CCI, GP, IP, and S&P500, by estimating the Vector Auto Regression (VAR) model. OP, CCI, GP, USDX, S&P500, and IP are the different variables used in this paper. Using monthly data from January 1971 to May 2020, this study applies the Granger causality test, Variance Decomposition (VDC) analysis, and Impulse Response Function (IRF). It can be inferred from the results that USDX has a significant relationship with GP and has a causal impact on GP. Industrial Production has also shown a significant relationship with S&P500 and has a causal impact on S&P500. The result also suggested that CCI and S&P500 share a unidirectional relationship; the volatility in CCI in the short run is due to the S&P500. Also, the variables do not have any other significant relationship. The findings also highlighted that USDX directly affected GP negatively. Industrial production directly impacted S&P500 in the short run, while a positive relationship is shared between CCI and S&P 500.

This study aims to examine the impact of financial ratios on the stock prices of companies listed on NIFTY Bank. Nifty Bank is a sub-index of NIFTY 50 and has various listed banks included based on the criteria given by NSE. This study data has been taken from the period 2010-2019 and taken from the company annual reports. The analysis is done using panel data regression and other tests to verify the best model for the dataset. The results obtained from this study show that the capital adequacy ratio and the dividend payout ratio do not impact the stock price. In contrast, earnings per share, net NPA ratio, and basic earnings per share, net profit margin, and net interest margin exhibited a relationship with the stock price. In the Indian context, there is less research available on this topic, and the idea chosen for the study is original. Along with this, the data collected for the study and the code used for analysis is original work. New investors can use the results of this study in the Indian stock market to analyze a stock and take proper investment decisions. Another practical usage of this study is that banking sector companies can improve their ratios to attract new investors.

Published: December 2022

This paper examines the perception of Indian employees on the role of organizational structure; it also aims to assess the impact of culture on the views of Indian employees regarding their choice of work environment and the feasibility of self-management practices in India. Despite widespread acknowledgment of the challenges presented by flat structures and hierarchical structures, little is known about today’s Indian workforce’s think and needs. The relationships between various factors on the employees’ orientation of the preferred organizational structure and its effect on their motivation are studied in this paper. The results reveal no great disparity in the views and choices of the employees who have an experience of flat structure and those who do not. However, it does indicate various other relationships between the factors that impact the organizational structure like Control and Capability, Reward-Systems and Organizational Levels, Culture and Reward Systems, Tendency to Explore and Reward Systems, Organizational levels and Motivation and lastly, Organizational Level and Culture. The results also suggest that Indian employees do want to have autonomy and responsibility in their work. However, they do believe that the different organizational levels have their role in managing the organization.

Authors: N. Agarwal, , P. Rao, , J. Nagarkar,
Published: December 2022

The nature of the corporate environment requires a variety of practices to achieve competitive benefits. Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance of an organization is considered a key indicator for sustainable and long-term returns. Investors are increasingly looking into the ESG practices of companies while making their investment decisions, and companies are seeking new ways to showcase their ESG prowess to investors. Showcasing the ESG performance helps the companies to build the brand reputation. The market valuation of such companies can also increase with the rise in PE Ratio as the investor perception increases. The paper evaluates the connection between the ESG factors and economic factors of the top five FMCG firms based on their market capitalization. Regression models have been utilized to measure and establish the relationship between both factors. The research results show that improved ESG implementation helps increase the overall economic value of the organizations. The sub-factors E, S, and G show a positive relationship with the economic performance, which clearly outlines why the FMCG companies are now taking various environmental and social initiatives.

Authors: D. Jadhav, , S. Gurpur, , L. Vyakranam,
Published: December 2022

The Indian economy is categorized into two sectors, namely: organized and unorganized sectors. The unorganized sector consists of a pivotal part of the Indian economy. Ragpickers are that class of employees who can be considered as an organized-unorganized labor class. Ragpicking business entails collecting, sorting, and selling various waste materials, mainly plastics or metals. After doing all this work, they sell recyclable material to the junkyard dealers at very petty prices, making them economically poor. Ragpickers are a major contributor to the Indian economy, as they are involved in recycling. Ragpickers mostly work without being equipped with any protective gear and are exposed to many health hazards while doing their role. They suffer from occupational risks and are often found hospitalized paying their bills from their pockets. There are times when they even do not go to hospitals because of hospital expenses. The paper primarily focuses on analyzing the different health insurance schemes, which are provided as social security by the Maharashtra Government and tries to find out the possible loopholes in health insurance policies because of which the ragpickers are not able to utilize or avail the benefits of the policies for which they are eligible. For developing a better understanding of the subject, the researcher has conducted an empirical survey on the ragpickers of Pune. Based on this, the researcher has recommended some policy changes, which can prove beneficial for the welfare of the Ragpickers.

Authors: D.M.R. Jadhav, , A. Krishnan, , D.S. Vijay,
Published: December 2022

Original Article 370 of the Indian Constitution is temporary, transitional. Special Provision of the State of J&K, This provision grants J&K an autonomous status. In contrast, Article 35A is incorporated into the constitution in 1954, grants special rights and privileges to state citizens. Since its inception, Article 370 has been considered a controversial provision in the constitution. It has been politicized in one or another way. The abrogation of Article 370 cannot be viewed in isolation, as it has proximity with historical, political, and constitutional dimensions. The abrogation of Article 370 is a key issue so far as the autonomy of the people of J&K is a concern. The mode and manner in which Article 370 has been abrogated and the procedure adopted for making Article 370 virtually ineffective is of great concern from the constitutional law point of view. The alarming terrorism in Kashmiris is a persistent threat to the unity and integrity of the nation and Indian democracy. Undoubtedly human rights violation of Kashmiri people through militant has always been an issue of great concern for Indian patriotism. In furtherance to the unity and integrity of the nation and to resolve the issue of Jammu and Kashmir with intent to have uniform opportunities of development, all the states, including Jammu and Kashmir, the Article 370 has been abrogated. Even though this decision was a courageous attempt on the government’s part, it is not free from wide controversies. This paper examines the constitutional and political dimensions of the abrogation of Article 370 and its impact on the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The research paper examines the political, social, and legal intricacies, including the logical insight into how abrogation was politically judicious; however, the constitutionality is debatable. Paper squarely covers the historical, political, and constitutional dimensions of the abrogation of Article 370 and examines it from a constitutional point of view. The researchers have pertinently tried to analyze and evaluate the abrogation of Article 370 as a political necessity on the touchstone of constitutional principle and have correlated it with human rights.
Exploring an Approach to Estimate Runoff in an Ungauged Mixed Urban Micro Catchment - A Case Study, Pune, India
Authors: M. Kshirsagar, , R. Satpute, , D. Chavda, , K. Khare,
Published: December 2022

Sustainable and integrated water resource management needs an hour, and achieving accurate estimation of runoff is key. The decision-making on urban landscaping planning for low-impact development techniques depends largely on the accuracy of rainfall. The haphazardly developed cities in India are encountering flooding crises due to the unexpected expansion. These mixed urban catchments comprise a muddle of residential, commercial, urban-rural, and industrial zones in any combination. Due to this change in urban catchments, the hydrological cycle gets affected and results in elevated runoff volume. The solutions to these are therefore necessary to be planned at a micro catchment level. This paper aims to explore an approach to calculate the runoff of such a micro mixed urban catchment. The geographical scope of this study is the fringe boundary of Pune city. For this ungauged basin, the basic mass balance equation was used to estimate runoff values compared with the runoff values calculated from empirical equations previously developed. From this comparison, it is observed that runoff values obtained from empirical equations were underestimated, which may be due to rapid land-use caused by urbanization. Hence, a need was felt to re-evaluate the coefficients of these empirical models, which take into cognizance the current scenario and its allied changes over the years. An attempt is made to modify the coefficients of empirical equations considering precipitation as the primary parameter. These modified coefficients fetched better runoff results than the runoff results obtained from the coefficients of previously established empirical equations. However, even with these modified coefficients, the runoff results were underestimated, which may be because of not considering the physical characteristics of the catchment in these equations. Therefore, to increase the accuracy of these results, a numerical model that considers these catchment characteristics was chosen. In the present study, a dynamic rainfall-runoff model - stormwater management models (SWMM) is used and compared to assess runoff for an ungauged micro-catchment. The runoff results achieved from these SWMM models better reproduced the hydrologic and hydraulic behavior of the study area (with RMSE of 2.51) by considering detailed catchment characteristics compared to those obtained from all the other empirical models.

Published: December 2022

When people ignore their cinema, there is a danger of disappearance of it with the times. At such bad times for Maithili Cinema, it is worth struggling for this small regional language cinema through academic discussions. Despite having its diverse art and literature, Maithili cinema strives hard to tackle all those indifferences. People and government are solely responsible for this directionless journey of Maithili cinema, and the ignorance is majorly coming from their cultural etiquettes. The ignorance on the part of the government adds an unfamiliar condition for the cinema to sustain itself independently in Bihar. This study explores the root causes of the suffering of Maithili Cinema in its land and the financial discrimination between Bhojpuri language Cinema and Maithili language Cinema. Maithili Cinema is badly influenced by Bhojpuri Cinema in terms of content, losing its originality and independent identity. As the researcher did not find any scholarly documentation regarding Maithili Cinema, this fresh research is undertaken using a qualitative research methodology taking in-depth interviews of the experts in Maithili society.

Big Data Mergers: An Analysis of European and Indian Competition Law Regime
Authors: S. Mukherjee, , D. Hake,
Published: December 2022

In a digitally dominated economy, big data plays an integral role in furthering a company’s commercial interest and is processed by firms to understand how to provide better products and services to consumers. To substantially enhance the datasets available with a business, mergers and acquisitions between entities have become common in recent times. While such growth increases the potential of innovations and enhances the economic growth of the merged entity, it also brings to light various antitrust dilemmas. The paper discusses the competitive implications of such deals in the light of the European and Indian competition regimes. The European competition regulator has significantly contributed to the growth of the competition regime. With a few companies threatening to monopolize the European economy, it has become extremely vigilant in handling big data mergers. The Indian competition laws are at a nascent but are rapidly evolving stage and have been following the European competition approach to tacking big data mergers while keeping in mind any unique challenges posed by the Indian markets. The paper also analyzes the various competition and allied issues that competition regulars consider while approving big data deals. Data privacy and consumer welfare are two issues that are becoming increasingly intertwined with competition law. The recent Google/Fitbit deal is an instance of the same, where privacy of health data concerns and consumers’ welfare are two parameters that competition regulators consider. Lastly, the article examines the lacuna in merger control of big data deals in India. It discusses the provisions added in the forthcoming 2020 amendment in the Indian Competition legislation to overcome the challenges posed by big data mergers and promote competition in markets.

Authors: S. Thigle, , M. Kunte,
Published: December 2022

Organizations focus a lot on their culture to attract the best talent to work with them. Leaders of these organizations expound their values on social media, employ PR agents and consulting firms to fine-tune their values, commonly stated through their websites, newsletters, and official communications, but how do people working there actually perceive these values? How are they driven from leadership to the lowest level of employees? This article attempts to address these issues by a qualitative research methodology based on Grounded Theory. Responses of employees working at leading organizations discuss their perceptions of culture in action, how values are driven, their anticipations for the future, and areas of improvement in their organizations. A thematic frequency-based analysis method is used to derive common themes, which can infer common patterns in action across 23 organizations with a strong Indian presence. The respondents span mainly across HR and marketing, with responses from finance, strategy and technology also included.

Published: December 2022

With the recent pandemic due to COVID-19 and several other uncertain events (due to human error or natural disaster), designing and implementation of Business Continuity Plan (BCP) has become a vital part of any organization. The organizations must prepare in advance and identify all possible uncertain events which may cause hindrance in their services. They must also access the consequences due to such events, which helps them devise such a plan that their operations do not pause even in such a disaster. This research explores the possibilities and finds a standard set of steps that must be taken care of while designing, testing, and implementing BCP. In this research paper, a systematic literature review has been performed on a previous research paper in the area of Business Continuity Plan to explore various options that an organization may adopt during a disaster. The studies were of moderate quality and had a low chance of being skewed by publishing prejudice. Subgroup analyses were not possible due to the heterogeneity of outcome tests, follow-up durations, and research forms. The new research should be used to help create and evaluate executive training strategies that facilitate long-term adaptive coping with PSP and reduce PTSIs. The aim of this systematic review and metanalysis is to assess PSP coping effects over time. The number of patients born with congenital heart disease need to be monitored for the rest of their lives. Discontinuity of treatment, on the other hand, is a well-known issue that tends to be worsening at the time of transition to adulthood.

Authors: N. Amin, , S. Joshi, , P. Sharma,
Published: December 2022

Purpose: The paper revisits the correlation between the stock and bond market. Theoretically, these two asset classes should have a negative correlation. However, there are times when the negative correlation does not hold, and the paper attempts to identify the macro/micro factors leading to this anomaly. Methodology: The study would use secondary data from various websites (SEBI, NSE, BSE, FIMMDA) for the past two decades and employ various statistical tests - such as Pearson’s Correlation, Spearman’s Correlation and Regression Analysis to ascertain the extent of correlation between equities market and bond market in India. Findings: The paper would validate the negative correlation and test the relationship during times of financial crisis - like the 2008 global melt-down and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Implications: The study would help develop a better understanding of equities and bond markets’ performance in different economic conditions - especially during black swan events like the present global pandemic. Originality: The Study would also focus on events/situations when the traditionally accepted relationship between equity market and bond market transforms.

Accounting numbers normally follow Benford’s mathematical rule. These findings are so unpredictable that knowledge manipulators typically refuse to comply with the law. Based on that information, accounting data that are submitted fraudulently can be identified. The law provides, however, for instances where data containing errors are presented to be detected. This paper examines the Indian companies ‘ financial statements of the last 10 years listed on the “National stock exchange of India” and testing whether they adhere to a statistical theorem called The Benford Law. The rule of Benford notes that the numbers are not uniformly distributed in a sequence of numerical data but instead obey a certain logarithmic rule such that the numbers beginning with a smaller digit have a greater frequency to occur than those beginning with larger digits. They use the first and the second digit test of Benford law to check whether businesses are following the logarithmic distribution.
