The conformation of three amyloidogenic peptides; amyloid beta 1−40 (Aβ1−40), alpha synuclein (α-syn), and beta2-microglobulin (β2m) are closely associated with the process of causing neurodegenerative diseases. Use of a peptide adsorbed gold nano-particle system allowed us to investigate the interactive segment of each peptide responsible for peptide-peptide networking, which is crucial to initiate the formation of an oligomer and leads to fibrillogenesis. The adsorption orientation of the amyloidogenic peptides on the nano-gold colloid spherical surface was explained by simulating how much area of the metal surface was covered by the peptides, i.e., coverage ratio, 2. The empirically extracted 2 was explained by the summation of the 1st layer and the 2nd layer with a spikingout orientation of the prolate. Of note, the involvement of the 2nd layer was peptide type dependent. The nanosize dependence of 2 was linearly correlated with available spacing between adjacent peptides, Sd, which were approximated as prolates, For Aβ1−40 and α-syn, the 2nd layer was more included as Sd increased. In contrast, β2m was found to gyrate over the gold surface as Sd increased, creating a partially positive (δ+) region and repelling the extra β2m from the surface. Thus, as Sd decreased, it prohibited the gyration of β > 2m resulting in less δ+ region, and more β2m monomers were adsorbed with δ+ segment as the 2nd layer than the case where β > 2m gyrates more under relatively larger Sd. Based on the trend found in an experimentally extracted 2 as a function of Sd, optimized charge distribution of Aβ1−40 and α-syn were concluded to be negative partial charge (δ−) region that was covered by the positive partial charge (δ+) region. However, β > 2m may have a relatively large and/or distributed δ+ region with a small portion of δ− at the one end of a prolate. The characterization made in this work confirmed current understandings on the formation of the protein corona over nano-particles

Authors:   Microbiology Laboratory, Institute of Biotechnology, Chandigarh University, Punjab, India, Kaur Vanshika
Published: September 2023

Students at Chandigarh University conducted an experiment to investigate the action of alginate lyase against plaque-forming Streptococcus mutans. In the experiment, students made two cultures. The first is a pure culture of Streptococcus mutans, and the second is a plaque biofilm containing all other microorganisms. Then another liquid culture of alphaproteobacteria is formed for the extraction of the alginate lyase enzyme. After the formation of bacterial cultures and the extraction of enzyme, a comparative study is done for the action of enzyme on culture A (S. mutans) and culture B (plaque biofilm). During the observations, students found that after the addition of alginate lyase to the system, S. mutans were unable to produce the polysaccharide matrix that made them the major bacterium responsible for the dental biofilm, and in culture B, a slight dispersion of biofilm was seen. Biofilm cannot adhere to solid surfaces due to the action of alginate ligase.

Antimicrobial fabric is suitable for providing protective covering to the medicinal industry, army uniform, casual wear, and household furnishing as well as for general public usage. The environmentally friendly antibacterial finish was extracted from leaves of Azadirachata indica, Butea monosperma and Litchi chinensis trees leaves and then applied on 100% polyester. Before and after applying the antimicrobial finish, fabric property was checked. The antimicrobial finish was applied by the pad dry cure method and the finish was fixed by using of polyurethane binder. Under aesthetic properties, stiffness and surface appearance were checked. The stiffness of the fabric was checked by Shirley Stiffness tester and surface appearance was checked by using AATCC Technical Manual /2004 TM 124-2001 203 test method. The aesthetic properties (smoothness, surface appearance) of the antimicrobial finish had a positive effect on 100% polyester. Results showed thatusing an antimicrobial finish made from the leaves of A. indica , B. monosperma , and L. chinensis reduced the amount of bacteria on polyester fabric by 100% when compared to the control group. The result showed that antimicrobial finish increased the stiffness while smoothness appearance was decreased in case of A. indica and B. monosperma and increased in case of L. chinensis.

Published: September 2023

O uso racional de medicamentos (URM) está previsto na Política Nacional de Assistência Farmacêutica (PNAF) e na Política Nacional de Medicamentos (PNM), na garantia de produtos seguros, eficazes e com qualidade. Para promover o URM são necessárias ações com a população e profissionais de saúde da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) que possam repercutir positivamente na compreensão destas políticas públicas de saúde. Este estudo analisou práticas e demandas de educação em saúde dos profissionais da APS voltadas à promoção do URM. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de aplicação de questionário autoaplicável a profissionais de nível superior que atuam na APS em 12 municípios pertencentes à 27ª Região de Saúde do Rio Grande do Sul. Participaram do estudo 67 de um total de 288 profissionais de nível superior, no período de abril a julho de dois mil e vinte e dois. Houve identificação da realização de ações exitosas voltadas à automedicação, guarda, descarte correto de medicamentos e inserção do farmacêutico no cuidado na APS. Como fragilidades identificou-se o não reconhecimento da PNAF e da PNM por 39% dos respondentes, todos de áreas distintas da farmácia. Os profissionais de saúde participantes deste estudo recebem demandas relacionadas a medicamentos em sua rotina de trabalho, o que requer o reconhecimento dessas políticas públicas de saúde. Dos participantes da pesquisa, 57% declararam nunca ter participado de ações de Educação Permante em Saúde (EPS) sobre a promoção do URM. O estudo mostrou a necessidade da inserção do tema do URM na agenda de EPS dos municípios pesquisados, objetivando a construção da qualificação do cuidado em saúde para implantação da PNAF e da PNM e de forma transversal o URM. Sugere-se a continuidade das investigações em outros locais, considerando diferentes atores sociais para ampliar as análises sobre esta temática.

Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of IT, GRIET, Hyderabad, Telangana, India, Lakshmi G D Vijaya
Published: September 2023

The subject of airfare is examined in this paper. As a result, a collection of factors that characterize a typical flight are selected under the presumption that they have an impact on airline ticket costs.The price of a plane ticket is influenced by the length of the trip, the location , the schedule, and anumber of other factors, like holidays or vacations. Therefore, many people will surely save timeand effort by having a basic awareness of airline expenses prior to making trip arrangements. Theperformance of the seven different machine learning (ML) models used to anticipate the price of airline tickets is compared after three datasets were analyzed to acquire insight into airline fares. The objective is to investigate the factors that influence flight prices. The data can then be used tobuild a system that can predict how much a flight will cost.
Animal Intrusion Detection Using Deep Learning

Published: September 2023

One of the researcher's interests and challenges is animal identification techniques. There are several challenges that researchers in this field confront that limit detection effectiveness and efficiency, such as picture illumination variation, animal occlusion, colour similarity of animal colours with backdrop environment, and so on. The purpose of this study is to detect and classify multi-label images of mammals, which we propose to do using the Single Shot Multi-Box Detector (SSD) and the MobileNet v1 coco_2017 model. Another objective is to locate and identify several items (animals) from the Mammal category in digital photos. Based on deep learning technology, the recommended SSD is regarded as a more accurate, rapid, and efficient technique to recognise objects of various sizes. We utilised 2000 pictures in the network taken from standard datasets (such as Caltech 101) and the net in this proposal. The SSD framework enhances Convolution Neural Network (CNN) detection and identification operations. During the prediction phase, the network assigns scores to the existence of each object class and draws a box around each object in the picture. Each box includes a name that defines the kind of object, and the score denotes the likelihood of the object's association to that category. During the procedure, boxes are changed to get the best fit to the form of the item. The experimental findings of this work demonstrated the efficacy of identifying and detecting animals even when light, position, and occlusion were varied. The detection and classification accuracy can reach 98.7%. Unlike other comparable efforts, this recommendation is more dependable and accurate, and it identifies a wide variety of Mammals species. Keywords— MobileNet , Convolution Neural Network (CNN), Single Shot Multi-Box Detector (SSD)

Authors: Andrews F. , Welch S. , Scandrett K. , Kaur H. , O’Shea M. K. , Dedicoat M.
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND: Contacts of TB cases in Birmingham and Solihull, UK, are offered screening for TB infection. Between 1990 and 2010, only 59.1% of contacts completed screening. The service has since increased screening staff numbers, changed screening locations and increased screening
follow-up. Our primary aim was to identify whether screening completion rates have improved. Our secondary aim was to identify predictors of screening completion.METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of all contacts of TB patients in Birmingham and Solihull between 1 January
2011 and 31 December 2020, stratified by pulmonary and extrapulmonary TB (PTB or EPTB) index infection. Multiple logistic regression analysis for predictors of screening completion was performed.RESULTS: A total of 3,255 index cases and 27,820 contacts were identified. TB incidence
has declined, in keeping with national trends. Screening completion has improved from 59.1% of contacts to 74.9% overall since service improvements were made, with improvement in screening completion for contacts of both PTB and EPTB index cases (OR 1.087, 95% CI 1.074–1.101; P
< 0.001) and (OR 1.048, 95% CI 1.019–1.078; P = 0.001), respectively.CONCLUSIONS: Changes made to the TB service have improved screening outcomes over the last decade. Significant predictors of screening completion have been identified, highlighting areas for targeted

The existence of water in sufficient quantity and quality is directly linked to the maintenance of public health. In this context, the aim of this study is to assess the quality of water used for human consumption in the rural area of Campina Grande, Paraiba, Brazil. The study also examines the sanitation conditions that could lead to potential health risks for the population residing in these areas, due to water contamination. As a result, alternative collective supply solutions (ACS) and individual supply solutions (AIS) were analyzed, starting from water collection to storage at households. A total of 10 sampling points were used, comprising 5 cisterns and 5 water trucks. The physical and chemical analyses included: free and combined residual chlorine (FRC), turbidity, color, pH, electrical conductivity, and the presence of total coliforms and Escherichia coli. Subsequently, a product and process risk analysis was conducted using the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method, which enabled the identification and evaluation of key failure risks and their effects. The physicochemical and microbiological results demonstrated that the waters were unsuitable for human consumption at all collection points. Furthermore, the main hazards identified for the product (water), following the classification of risk priority levels, were the presence of E. coli, the presence of total coliforms, low concentration of FRC, high apparent color, and for the process, the absence of rechlorination in the water consumption reservoir. Ultimately, it was possible to diagnose the non-compliance of the waters from alternative supply solutions with Ministry of Health Ordinance No. 888 of 2021. Additionally, the risk analysis proved to be a highly efficient method for this supply method, successfully pinpointing the main vulnerabilities of these waters to contamination.
Role of Traditional Weavers in Socio – Economic Development
Authors: Brahma Preeta , Subrahmanyam Annam
Published: September 2023

Objective: This study analyses the role of traditional weavers towards socio – economic development by examining the market competition between traditional woven clothes and clothes produced from power loom. This paper also discusses the relationship between traditional cultural expressions with moral rights of Copyright Law.
 
Methods: This study is based on the literature collected from secondary sources. It relies on Constitution of India, published research articles, text books, reports on international conventions, etc. The literature is analyzed by using descriptive – analytical method.
 
Results: Intellectual Property Law is very narrow to protect traditional knowledge (TK) and traditional cultural expressions (TCE). IPR laws require the work of the people to be original and novel. Traditional weavers do not fulfill the requirement of originality and novelty because the products are result of TK and TCE passed down from many generations. A sui – generis law is felt necessary to protect the hand woven dresses made by the traditional weavers. Such sui – generis law may include positive protection and defensive protection as provided under World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to help traditional weavers access share of equal benefit and restrict the third parties from obtaining rights over the products derived from TK and TCE. Customary law is also one of the potential approaches to holistically recognize the rights of traditional weavers.  
 
Suggestions: It is recommended to encourage traditional weaving for the sustainability of weaving culture. However the present generation can enhance the weaving techniques by blending it with new technologies. The marketing strategy should be learnt by traditional weavers to meet the expectation of globalised market. There should be direct communication between customers and weavers to understand the expectation of customers. This will open path to traditional weavers to develop their skills, designs, and promote their products directly in the market. To raise awareness among consumers, the hand-woven goods should be promoted. The Handloom Act of 1985 should be implemented. The state's department of handloom should frequently inform weavers about the reserved commodities. Power loom facilities should be legally registered with a statement that none of the restricted items listed under Handloom Act, 1985 will be produced. The power loom weavers should be held legally responsible if it is discovered that they are making reserved items. Copyright Law should include weaving as TCE and grant protection under moral rights.
Rembrandt – A képek színjátéka. Hermeneutikai kísérletek (online képmelléklet)
Authors: Rényi András
Published: September 2023

Online képmelléklet a Rembrandt – A képek színjátéka. Hermeneutikai kísérletek c. monográfiához. A mű rendhagyó kísérlet Rembrandt bibliai és mitológiai tárgyakat feldolgozó képalkotó művészetének korszerű újraértelmezésére. Abból a feltételezésből indul ki, hogy a mester személyében – kivételes módon – egyidejűleg kétféle zsenivel – egyrészt a rajzoló-festő-rézkarcoló, másrészt a drámaszerző-dramaturg zsenialitásával – van dolgunk. E kétféle tehetség kombinációja olyan egészen eredeti művészi formát eredményezett, amelynek se előzménye, se folytatása nem volt a művészettörténetben. Rembrandt sajátos módszert dolgozott ki arra, hogy állóképeken konkrét drámai fordulatokat is ábrázolni lehessen: ezzel tette alkalmassá képeit a jól ismert régi történetek akár gyökeres átértelmezésére, a hősök sorsának újragondolására is. Emiatt e művek a művészettörténet bevett módszereivel, a stílusvizsgálat és az ikonológiai jelentéskutatás hagyományos eszközeivel nem is ragadhatók meg. A tanulmány részletes elemzést szentel a képszínpad szintaxisának, azoknak a nézőt orientáló képszervezési és technikai eljárásoknak, amelyek az események bonyolódását egy állóképen is követhetővé teszik a néző számára. Tizenkét – drámaként értelmezhető – mű önálló elemzése hivatott igazolni a “Rembrandt-dramatológia” életképességét. További öt tanulmány szolgál Rembrandt sajátos képalkotó gyakorlatának és technikai eljárásainak megvilágítására. A tanulmányokat végig szoros tudománytörténeti és módszertani reflexió kíséri.

Authors: Demetrio Vitoria Rodrigues , Tanaka Jaiana Rocha Vaz , Bastos Janice Regina Moreira
Published: September 2023

A Incontinência Urinária é uma alteração do mecanismo de contração do canal uretral, e pode ser de esforço, de urgência ou mista que é a junção de ambas. É uma disfunção muito comum, principalmente em mulheres e que possui muitos fatores de risco como obesidade, idade, número de gestações, parto e o tipo de parto e atividades físicas, causando um aumento da pressão intra abdominal e sobrecarga da musculatura do assoalho pélvico, que favorecem a perda urinária. Com base nisto, o objetivo deste trabalho é evidenciar a relação da prática de atividade física por mulheres com a IU. Para isso foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica, do tipo exploratória, com abordagem qualitativa. Foi constatado que existe uma relação da prática de atividade física com a IU, principalmente aquelas que envolvem contato repetitivo com o solo, como a corrida e saltos, além da musculação, natação e crossfit. Considerando a adesão crescente da população a uma vida mais ativa, a IU tem se tornado uma preocupação para os órgãos públicos já que a sua manifestação tem um impacto significativo na qualidade de vida.

Introdução: O ângulo de fase (PhA) tem sido utilizado no monitoramento da integridade celular e do estado de hidratação em diversas doenças, mas sua aplicação em atletas ainda carece de estudos. Objetivo: Analisar se os adolescentes atletas de basquetebol possuem valores superiores de PhA em relação aos não atletas. Métodos: 86 adolescentes do sexo masculino (13 e 14 anos), sendo 34 atletas de basquetebol. Avaliou-se a estatura e peso e calculado o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). A composição corporal foi avaliada pela bioimpedância elétrica (BIA) utilizando-se o aparelho tetrapolar de frequência única (50 kHz) e modelo Quantum II (RJL Systems, Detroit, MI, EUA). Para cálculo da Massa Isenta de Gordura (FFM; kg) utilizou-se a equação proposta por Houtkooper et al, a partir da FFM foram calculados os valores de Percentual de FFM (%FFM), massa gorda (FM; kg) e percentual de massa gorda (%FM). O PhA foi calculado pela fórmula: (Xc/R) x (180O/π). Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva de média, desvio padrão. Foram utilizados o teste t e a ANCOVA para verificar as diferenças entre os grupos. Resultados: Os atletas apresentaram valores significativamente superior para as variáveis de estatura e MIG, enquanto o grupo de não atletas apresentou valores superiores para R/Estatura, Xc/Estatura e PG (%). Não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos para o PHA. Conclusão: Para esta amostra a prática do basquetebol não interferiu nos valores do PhA.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo compreender o que os profissionais da área da educação têm a dizer sobre a qualidade de sua formação inicial e continuada e quais são os pontos que poderiam ser revistos. Para alcançarmos uma melhor compreensão do problema da relação entre a formação do professor e sua influência na prática escolar, foram entrevistados três professores de escolas da rede pública da Cidade de São Paulo. A metodologia utilizada para a análise dos dados coletados, foi baseada no referencial metodológico da Psicologia Sócio Histórica, utilizando os núcleos de significação e apreensão dos sentidos. Foi possível observar, que os docentes notam recuos e avanços em sua formação continuada e por conta disso, ainda não reconhecem plenamente os benefícios dessa formação, não percebendo dessa forma sua aplicabilidade na prática escolar. Apontam uma desvinculação da teoria ensinada, na formação inicial e continuada, com a prática reflexiva e com a experiência cotidiana do cenário escolar. Segundo eles este cotidiano é complexo e repleto de questões relacionadas à dinâmica interesse/desinteresse dos alunos pelo aprendizado, às influências sócio-ideológicas na educação, à diversidade de práticas escolares, à valorização da educação e aos novos recursos tecnológicos. Tais discussões trazem outras questões a serem trabalhadas, que podem ajudar na compreensão do cenário da educação básica brasileira da rede pública, contribuindo para seu aprimoramento.

A field experiment aimed to evaluate the bio-efficacy of new low dose herbicides applied in soybean and their residual effect on succeeding wheat was conducted during 2007-08 and 2008-09 at New Delhi. Results revealed that in soybean, post-emergence application of imazethapyr (100 g/ha) was more effective against Trianthema portulacastrum, Commelina benghalensis, Digitaria sanguinalis and Dactyloctenium aegyptium but pendimethalin (1500 g/ha) against Dactyloctenium aegyptium, Digitaria sanguinalis and Trianthema portulacastrum. Chlorimuron-ethyl provided effective control of broad-leaved weeds but failed to control grasses and sedges. Application of imazethapyr (100 g/ha) increased the seed yield of soybean by 66.49% over weedy check. Herbicidal application significantly suppressed the microbial population at 30 DAS which recovered at the harvest of soybean. The residual effect of chlorimuron-ethyl (6-12 g/ha) and imazethapyr (50-100 g/ha) applied in soybean resulted in significant reduction in population of all major weeds except Avena ludoviciana in wheat grown in rotation. No injury to wheat plant was observed due to residues of chlorimuron-ethyl (6-12 g/ha) and imazethapyr (50-100 g/ha) and other herbicides applied in soybean.

The objective of our study was to know the differences in expression of total protein, total phenol, peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase activities in self-defense in plant tissues against rice blast diseases. The activities of these compounds were studied in different genotypes of rice (Oryza sativa L.) Ngoba, Bhalum-1, Lampnah and IET 7614 with varying degrees of susceptibility to Magnaporthe grisea. Observation was taken after two successive days interval up to 15 days repeatedly (eight times) and the data was subjected to repeated measure analysis. Gradual declination was observed for total protein, whereas total phenol, peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase activity has shown increasing trend. Rice genotypes have shown considerable difference in expression which was well-correlated with the degrees of resistance in specificity of pathogen. Univariate test for between and within subject factors were calculated and found to be significant (P<0.001). Since sphericity assumption was violated, MANOVA test was also done and significant difference among characters and genotypes were observed in due course of time.

A field experiment was conducted during the year 2009-11 at ICAR Research Complex for North Eastern Hill Region (NEHR), Meghalaya to study the influence of land configuration and conservation tillage on soil health in a groundnut-toria cropping system. The experiment consisted of seven treatments [i. flat bed farmer’s practice (FP) no residue; ii. broad beds and furrows (BBF) with residue incorporation; iii. BBF with residue + hedge leaves (Tephrosia sp) incorporation; iv. BBF with residue + hedge leaves (no tillage, NT); v. raised bed (RB) with residue incorporation; vi. RB with residue + hedge leaves incorporation; vii. RB with residue + hedge leaves (NT)] laid out in randomised block design and replicated thrice. The conservation treatments were found to significantly improve biological activity and chemical properties of soil. However, physical properties such as texture and bulk density were not significantly affected by any of the treatments. Infiltration rate and hydraulic conductivity were 108% and 46% higher, respectively, in the treatments under RB with residue + hedge leaves (NT) as compared to FP. Soil microbial biomass carbon was 67% higher under RB with residue + hedge leaves incorporation than FP after the harvest of both the crops in the second year while dehydrogenase activity was 135% higher in RB with residue + hedge leaves (NT) after the harvest of groundnut and RB with residue incorporation after the harvest of toria than FP, respectively. System productivity under RBs were significantly higher than that recorded under BBF and FB. Conservation treatments showed better soil health at the end of the cropping cycles and it is concluded that raised beds along with residue management can provide an alternative and sustainable technology contributing to sustainable agriculture in the NEHR of India which can be extrapolated to other similar areas.

Increasing the use efficiency of nitrogen in system mode was always a concern due to escalating input cost of fertilizer. The “researcher designed farmer managed trials” were conducted in farmers’ field during 2009 -10 at 27 districts covering 17 states. A total of 192 trials in rice-rice, 233 in rice (Oryza sativa L.) -wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), 48 in rice- greengram and 77 in maize-wheat system were conducted with five common treatments, viz. control, recommended quantity of N alone, NP, NK and NPK in all the locations and cropping systems. Application of recommended quantity of NPK in all the systems recorded higher yield and increase was found to be more than 50% in maize (Zea mays L.) -wheat and rice-rice systems and > 30% in rice-greengram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] and rice-wheat systems over application of N alone. On an average additional yield of 2 794 kg rice equivalent yield (REY)/ha was realized, in cereal based systems with application of all the nutrients together instead of N alone. Among the various systems, maize-wheat was found to respond well to balanced application as it recorded 162% increase in yield over control. Partial factor productivity (PFP) of N, can be increased by >50% in rice-rice and maize-wheat system through application of recommended dose of NPK. Efficiency of applied nutrients measured in the form of agronomic efficiency was found to be >100% for all the systems under balanced application compared to N alone, or with P with K. Similarly combined application increased the P and K efficiency in all the systems with maize-wheat recording the highest efficiency of K. Relative response of treatment over control also displayed similar trend. Marginal returns due to application of NPK together was found to be 136.7, 24.5, 11.5 and 46.4% higher in rice-rice, rice-wheat, rice-greengram and maize-wheat systems respectively over application of N alone. Balanced application of N, P and K was found to increase the system productivity and nutrient use efficiency of cereal based systems.
