Authors: K. Preeti , S.A. Priya , Gopi Arun , Narasimha Abhinav Kaushal Kancherla
Published: April 2024

Introduction and Aim: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder of the female reproductive system causing infertility, an irregular menstrual cycle, and hormonal imbalance characterized by hyperandrogenism. Reaction to any stimulus is a voluntary response that measures the speed of response of a person. There is gender variation in reaction time, hence there is a need for evaluation of reaction time in PCOS. Thus, auditory and visual reaction time may be affected in the women with polycystic ovaries. The aim of the study was to compare ART and VRT in PCOS and non-PCOS Individuals and to correlate ART and VRT with BMI in PCOS individuals.
 
Materials and Methods: Age-matched 25 normal and 25 PCOS were subjected to ART and VRT and recordings were obtained. The anthropological parameters like height, weight, and BMI were computed. The results were analyzed using a t-test and Pearson’s correlation test using SPSS software.
 
Results: The auditory reaction time showed significant (p<0.001) increase in PCOS 0.318±0.0388 than non-PCOS individuals 0.239±0.0629. There was positive correlation(r=0.491, p<0.05) of BMI with visual reaction time in PCOS individuals.
 
Conclusion: Since there is an increase in reaction time and a positive relation with BMI we can say that there is a decline in cognition in PCOS individuals probably due to hormonal changes and obesity.

Authors: K. S. Priya , Lucas A. Martin , Sosalagere Manjegowda Dinesh
Published: April 2024

The extensive exploration of green tea's therapeutic potential in relation to cardiovascular ailments has sparked considerable global interest. The green tea polyphenols notably EGCG, ECG, EGC, EC, and various catechins, exhibit considerable promise as agents with cardioprotective attributes. The green tea polyphenolic compounds effectively counteract the detrimental impact of reactive oxygen species while concurrently modulating intricate cellular signalling pathways, thereby ameliorating the adverse effects of oxidative stress—a pivotal contributor to cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, these compounds have demonstrated a capacity to function as antihypertensive agents, primarily through their facilitation of vasodilation, inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme activity, and deterrence of excessive vasoconstriction.  Moreover, green tea polyphenols exert their influence on lipid profiles and cholesterol metabolism, presenting an additional avenue for cardiovascular health maintenance. By inhibiting key enzymes, namely ACAT and HMG-CoA reductases, involved in cholesterol esterification and synthesis, respectively, green tea polyphenols actively contribute to the preservation of a favourable lipid profile, effectively mitigating the risk of atherosclerosis development. In evaluating the bioavailability of green tea polyphenols, it is observed that they exhibit considerable stability in gastric conditions. However, substantial metabolic transformations occur within the intestinal and hepatic milieu, consequently influencing their availability and physiological activity within the human body. This comprehensive review proffers an array of interdisciplinary methodologies, encompassing in silico modelling, omics technologies, and innovative research approaches. These multifaceted avenues possess immense potential in unravelling novel insights and enhancing therapeutic strategies. Future investigations should seek to explore captivating prospects, including the identification of specific polyphenolic constituents or synergistic combinations that exhibit pronounced cardioprotective effects, thus guiding the development of targeted therapeutic interventions. By elucidating the molecular mechanisms underpinning the cardiovascular effects of green tea polyphenols, a greater understanding of the therapeutic targets involved in the prevention.

Published: April 2024

Introduction and Aim: The biosynthetic method of naturally occurring pigment melanin production has become a predominant technique in recent years owing to its cost-effectiveness, low chemical usage, and reduced purification procedure. This study aimed to investigate the significant production, characterization, and biological applications of fungal melanin pigment.
 
Materials and Methods: Melanin production in Gliocephalotrichum sp. DSGB2 strain was carried out by submerged fermentation in tyrosine broth and further purified by acidification and precipitation methods. The purified melanin was characterized by analytical methods such as ultraviolet-visible absorbance, TLC, FTIR spectroscopy, and LC-MS. The DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging analysis was performed to evaluate antioxidant properties of melanin.
 
Results: Pigment was confirmed as melanin based on tyrosinase enzyme assay, UV-visible spectroscopy absorbance, TLC, FTIR, and LC-MS analysis. The biosynthesis of melanin was optimized by varying the culture conditions, and the highest yield was obtained under pH 6 at 30ºC. The strain produced about 3.82 gL-1 of melanin in 5 days under optimum conditions and exhibited antioxidant activity.
 
Conclusion: The study provides new ideas into the biosynthesis of water-soluble melanin by the fungal strain Gliocephalotrichum sp. DSGB2 has broad potential applications as an efficient biomaterial in the biopolymer, pharmaceutical sectors, cosmetic, and environmental.

Authors: Тагирова О  В.
Published: April 2024

Оценка относительного жизненного состояния насаждений березы (Betula pendula Roth) в условиях Уфимского промышленного центра по реакции деревьев на экстремальные природные (перепады температур, количество осадков) и техногенные (уровень загрязнения) воздействия свидетельствует об устойчивости и высоком адаптивном потенциале березы. В период 2010–2022 гг. в Уфимском промышленном центре отмечено снижение суммарного поступления загрязняющих веществ. Установлено, что часть деревьев за счет реализации комплекса адаптивных реакций и регенерационных способностей переходит из категории ослабленных в категорию здоровые. В целом относительное жизненное состояние насаждений березы в промышленной зоне изменяется от ослабленных до здоровых, что обеспечивает их успешное произрастание в составе санитарно-защитных и парковых насаждений.

The assessment of the relative living condition of birch stands (Betula pendula Roth) in the area of the Ufa Industrial Center by the reaction of trees to extreme natural (temperature changes, water precipitation) and man-made (pollution level) impacts indicates the stability and high adaptive potential of birch. In the period 2010–2022, a decrease in the total intake of pollutants was noted in the Ufa Industrial Center. It is established that part of the trees due to the implementation of a complex of adaptive reactions and regenerative abilities passes from the category of “weakened” to the category of “healthy”. In general, the relative vital condition of birch plantations in the industrial zone varies from “weakened” to “healthy”, which ensures their successful growth as part of sanitary protection and park plantings.

Published: April 2024

In this study, snake gourd biodiesel (SGB) was used as an alternative fuel in a four-stroke, one-cylinder, direct injection, 14.7 kW diesel engine. A test was carried out in which the engine was fuelled with petroleum diesel, SGB and five different blends of diesel/biodiesel (B10, B20, B30, B50 and B80). The test engine was run at 0 kW load and 12.3 kW load, and the results were analyzed. The biodiesel and its blends produced significantly less emissions than the petroleum diesel, which could be attributed to better combustion efficiency. The use of biodiesel resulted in lower emissions of CO, SO2, particulate matter (PM) and increased emissions of NO2. The results also showed that increasing the load from 0 kW to 12.3 kW resulted to an overall increase in the emissions and CO, SO2, and PM emissions were lower with SGB by 86.6%, 93.02%, and 91.80% at 0 kW load and 62.48%, 86.79%, and 72.72% at 12.3 kW load conditions. while NO2 emissions were higher by 90.91% and 93.02% at 0 kW and 12.3 kW load conditions respectively than that of the petrol diesel. This study showed that the exhaust emissions of SGB and its blends are lower than those of the petrol diesels, which indicates that SGB and its blends when used in diesel engines has more favorable effects on air quality.

Published: April 2024

Any machine learning method for transcribing historical text requires manual verification and correction, which is often time-consuming and expensive. Our aim is to make it more efficient. Previously, we developed a machine learning model to transcribe 2.3 million handwritten occupation codes from the Norwegian 1950 census. Here, we manually review the 90,000 codes (3%) for which our model had the lowest confidence scores. We allocated these codes to human reviewers, who used our custom annotation tool to review them. The reviewers agreed with the model's labels 31.9% of the time. They corrected 62.8% of the labels, and 5.1% of the images were uncertain or assigned invalid labels. 9,000 images were reviewed by multiple reviewers, resulting in an agreement of 86.4% and a disagreement of 9%. The results suggest that one reviewer per image is sufficient. We recommend that reviewers indicate any uncertainty about the label they assign to an image by adding a flag to their label. Our interviews show that the reviewers performed internal quality control and found our custom tool to be useful and easy to operate. We provide guidelines for efficient and accurate transcription of historical text by combining machine learning and manual review. We have open-sourced our custom annotation tool and made the reviewed images open access.

Published: April 2024

The association between academic self-efficacy, academic motivation, and coping skills among graduate students has been reported in previous literature, yet comprehensive assessments in this area are lacking. Coping skills are considered predictors for both academic self-efficacy and academic motivation. This study aimed to assess the roles of academic self-efficacy, academic motivation, and coping skills in the lives of graduate students. A correlational research design was employed for this purpose. Convenient sampling was utilized to select 300 participants for the study. Data were collected through the General Self-Efficacy, Academic Motivation, and Brief-COPE instruments. The study revealed a significant positive correlation between academic self-efficacy, academic motivation, and coping skills, indicating a strong connection among these variables. Further, the gender differences were assessed, but no significant differences were found among study variables. The findings of this study underscore the importance of academic self-efficacy, academic motivation, and coping skills in graduate students' lives. The significant positive correlation among these variables suggests that interventions targeting improvement in one area may positively influence the others. Additionally, the lack of gender differences in these variables indicates that strategies for enhancing academic performance, motivation, and overall well-being should be inclusive and not gender-specific. Institutions can utilize these findings to develop programs aimed at supporting students with low coping skills to enhance their academic performance, motivation, and overall well-being.

Life is Too Short to Be Serious All the Time
Authors: Donald William E. , Duck Nicholas J.
Published: April 2024

In this food for thought article, we introduce the ‘Donald Duck Phenomenon’ to consider ten of the more unconventional reasons for publishing in academia. These include (i) symbolic immortality, (ii) personal satisfaction, (iii) a sense of pride, (iv) serious leisure, (v) cause credibility, (vi) altruism, (vii) collaboration with a friend or family member, (viii) collaboration with a hero, (ix) conflict or revenge, and (x) for amusement. The article was inspired by the lead author’s social media search for a co-author with the surname ‘Duck’. Through LinkedIn, the lead author, Associate Professor William E. Donald, who is based in the UK and specialises in Sustainable Careers and Human Resource Management, found a collaborator, Dr Nicholas Duck, who is based in Australia and specialises in Organisational Psychology. While the collaboration may appear to be somewhat ‘quackers’, per one of Donald Duck’s famous phrases “Life is too short to be serious all the time, so if you can’t laugh at yourself then call me… I’ll laugh at you, for you”. We hope that this article offers some interesting insights and acts as a way to stimulate conversation around unconventional reasons for publishing in academia.

Published: April 2024

The organisational focus on workplace automation is fuelling the evolution of the labour market towards task focused work systems, and an emerging gig economy. This evolution creates new demands on organisational leaders to introduce flexible and agile management techniques, whilst maintaining a strategic focus on upskilling and reskilling their employees for a digitalised world.  We revisit our previous GJSD paper, “Mind the leadership gap”, to further emphasise these aspects of the changing work environment and introduce 1. Their potential influence on organisational belonging, and 2. The resultant impact on leadership styles and skills.  This paper presents a short synthesis of the complex challenges faced by leaders within such an operating environment. This is followed by four further proposals for the future research agenda along with two suggested research methods which enhance our previous call to action on the leadership gap.

Along with the development of technology, children prefer to spend time playing alone using game media called gadgets. Children who play with gadgets for 30 minutes increase their risk of being late in movement and speech by 49%. Cadres as implementers of posyandu activities have a large role in monitoring the growth and development of toddlers. Efforts that can be made by cadres as the spearhead of Posyandu are by disseminating knowledge about health, one of which is about children's growth and development. Cadres perform well in carrying out their duties as cadres. This is necessary to obtain accuracy in measurements and identify growth deviations, so that management can be carried out as early as possible to prevent stunting. This research aims to determine the knowledge of mothers of toddlers in stimulating development using active play methods and simple play media through evaluating the performance of posyandu cadres. The population in this study were mothers of toddlers in Pagongan Village who attended regular meetings at Posyandu. The instrument used in this research was a questionnaire containing the characteristics of respondents, knowledge of mothers of toddlers and measuring cadre performance. Quantitative data analysis uses descriptive analysis. The results obtained by mothers about active play methods and simple play media were less than 51 people (63.75%) and the majority of mothers assessed that the performance of cadres was still less active in conveying this information, namely 49 people (61.25%). The suggestion is that there needs to be a maximum role for cadres at the posyandu in providing information to mothers, as well as motivating mothers to continue bringing their children to the posyandu regularly.

Winong Village with the motto “Desa Siaga” is one of the villages with a journey of about 4 km from the Mancak sub-district office in Serang Regency, Banten Province. The problems faced by Winong Village are the lack of resources and the community's economy. This happens because the land use is not optimal. Agricultural, plantation and craft activities also tend to be less dominant in generating increased income. One of the efforts for land management is to utilize abundant natural resources, namely coconut water which is added with other organic ingredients so that organic herbicides (grass poisons) can be made which are environmentally friendly and the cultivation results are safe for consumption.

UBSI and PKK RW.01, Pondok Labu women synergize together to carry out activities that begin with a passion to provide education in terms of the use of social media in this case is Instagram. In the academic world, community-based activities are packaged with the term Community Service. Community involvement is a clear and consistent existence of every university to carry out the Tri Dharma.
The choice of a theme that is adapted to the linear discipline of the UBSI Campus is an absolute must, as a form of professionalism and proportion in doing community service. Business training is the central issue of this training, because many PKK women currently use social media to market the products/services they sell. This is a good form of cooperation, because theory and practice are tried to be combined.
The selection of PKK women in RW 01 Pondok Labu, because many of the mothers here use Instagram to do business even though it is still relatively new in its application. However, this gives a signal that these mothers have a great interest and willingness to learn and do business. This challenge is the priority of our team to make this object a community service which of course is relevant to our academic studies.
