Acute radiation sickness due to critical accidents at a nuclear production facility
Authors: Azizova T. V. , Moseeva M. B. , Briks K. V.
Published: May 2023

Introduction. Nuclear accidents are rare, however, today they cannot be entirely excluded. Thereupon the wealth of global experience is of particular value for prediction of outcomes that potentially follow short-term exposures to ionizing radiation at high dose rates.

The objective is to describe clinical simptoms and signs in workers exposed to acute gamma-neutron radiation.

Methodology. This paper considers healths effects after radiation exposure due to a critical accident that happened on January, 2 1958 during operations with an experimental flask containing uranium nitrate solution at the Mayak PA. During accident four workers were exposed to short-term gamma-neutron radiation and subsequently suffered from acute radiation syndrome of different severity degree.

Results and discussion.  Symptoms of the initial response, development of disorders in various organs and systems and the course of the acute radiation syndrome in exposed individuals are described.

Conclusion. Multiple organs or tissues are involved in severe acute radiation syndrome at an early period after acute exposure, at that cardiovascular collapse is the most critical physiological state. Multiple organs or tissues failure in the longtrem period after acute exposure is a secondary manifestation both of the primary nonspecific response to radiation and specific radiation-induced direct damage of highly sensitive cells

Relevance. The timely use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation within resuscitation measures for patients with refractory circulatory arrest is becoming a routine rescue practice in the world, making it possible to increase the efficiency of resuscitation measures up to 30 %; however, this technology is not widespread in Russia, despite the fact that without extracorporeal mechanical support, the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is no more than 9 %.Objective. Analysis of the experience of using transport venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) within extended cardiopulmonary resuscitation in case of out-of-hospital circulatory arrest in inpatient emergency department.Methods. Analysis of the experience of using transport ECMO within extended cardiopulmonary resuscitation in case of out-of-hospital circulatory arrest in inpatient emergency department.Results and Discussion. Of the 16 cases of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, effective circulation was restored in 37.5 % (6 out of 16) of cases. In these cases, the duration of extended cardiopulmonary resuscitation outside the medical organization was significantly lower, (50.8 ± 4.2) minutes versus (65.6 ± 4.6) minutes. In the group of patients with ineffective extended cardiopulmonary resuscitation, there was a significant increase in troponin (1820 ± 164) versus (473 ± 180) ng/l and D-dimer (17 566 ± 429) versus (13 122 ± 628) µg/l (FEU).Conclusion. Transport ECMO technology, which is used for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients with out-of-hospital refractory circulatory arrest, allows the use of a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including percutaneous coronary interventions. The analysis revealed the need to reduce the duration of resuscitation by ambulance teams on the spot in favor of extended CPR in motion using an electromechanical device for chest compressions.
Self-Portrait on The Kitchen Towel
Authors: Stevanović Lada
Published: May 2023

Philosopher, feminist theoretician and artist Alenka Spacal paints her self-portraits on kitchen towels (2003–2005). After first being placed in exhibition, eventually the hanging of these pieces morphed into performance, dubbed Hanged Woman, during which the artist hung her self-portraits on a rope with clothespins in front of an audience. Transgressing gender, religion and race, Spacal through these self-portraits situates herself in different subjective positions. During such a journey, the artist multiplicates subjectivities, accomplishing theoretical and artistic figuration of nomadic subject, which, according to Rosi Braidotti constitutes by changing subject positions and thus overcoming dominant phallocentric rationality. In this case it occurs through artistic practice and irony. The second portion of this paper is devoted to the children’s picture book Rainbow Masquerade, also written and illustrated by Spacal, who abandons the essentialist dual normativity of sex and gender in order to represent plurality of the two categories in the fantastic world of a wood and its inhabitants.
Musical Genre as an Indicator of the Unity in Diversity Concept: Case Study of the ESC’S Winning Song Hard Rock Hallelujah
Authors: Maglov Marija
Published: May 2023

In this paper, the author questions the role of musical genre presented on the Eurovision Song Contest in the context of the unity in diversity concept, recognized as one of the markers of European cultural identity. Interpretation of this concept in sociological theory is presented while arguing that it could be understood in the history of the contest. A broader view on genres presented in the first decades of the contest is offered, before focusing on a case study of Finland’s 2006 winning song. Although unusual in a purely musical sense in the context of the ESC, it is argued that this entry is more understandable when more determinants of performing European identity on the ESC stage are included in the interpretation, and that music serves as only one of those determinants and thus should be interpreted as cultural discoursive practice.
Marina Abramović – Ulaj: konstrukcija Trećeg Sopstva izvan samodovoljnosti para / Marina Abramović – Ulaj: The Construction of Third Self and the Self-Sufficiency of the Couple
Authors: Racanović Svetlana
Published: May 2023

The twelve-year collaborative practice between Marina Abramović and Ulay (Franck Uwe Laysiepen) was a chain of constant changes, of transformative strategies and practices of living and art-making. Their relationship, with its dynamic, often dramatic and explosive effects, unfolded in roundabouts and leaps, unexpected turns, regroupings, intense discharges, ecstatic accelerations as well as in controlleddecelerations designed to recharge, reorganize and revitalize their capacities for new flights and new expansions of socially-constructed or self-imposed boundaries, boundaries both of themselves and their relationship. Their early performances (a phase they called Warriors) were extreme, furious and unflinching explorations of capacities of the body. These radical ‘exploitations’ of the body constructed but also permanently destabilized, challenged the relationship as unity, equality, mutual harmonizing and balancing: they destabilized the ‘self-sufficiency of the couple’. Their provocative, productiveflights outside themselves, outside their relationship and integrative openings towards the outside, towards other bodies, constructed or rather ‘birthed’ a new, third body, which they called That Self. This newly-created entity, borne out of the dynamic, transformative, rebellious union of the two through a series of performances, was an entity created from them, and in turn regenerated, recreated their relationship. That Self freed and intensified capacities of their bodies, actualized their unknown and latent powers and afforded Marina Abramović and Ulay the possibilities of making new, flexible assemblages, hybrid configurations that involved other bodies, human and non-human, animate and inanimate, material and virtual.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and the Perception of Reality from the Visual Field of the Other: Analysis of the Relation between Ordinary Language Philosophy and Poststructural Critique of Vision
Authors: Jelić Margareta
Published: May 2023

The first objective of this work is to establish a parallel between the ordinary language philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein as well as the philosophy of Stanley Cavell and poststructuralism and its theories through their apprehension of vision and seeing as conceptual categories. The second objective is the analysis of perception of reality from the visual field of the other (children, women, other civilizations and peripheral parts of society) as a place of position of the subject in the frame of Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytic poststructural theory, Jacques Derrida’s deconstructivism and psychoanalytic poststructural feminist theories (Irigaray, Kristeva).

Authors: Jati Fathoni Waseso , Bhaskara Komang Jaya , Hasibuan Faisal Candrasyah , Irawan Budhi
Published: May 2023

The technology development from year to year is increasing rapidly, especially in the electronics devices such as notebooks and smartphones. With the rapid development of technology, lifestyle habits have also changed. This can lead to an increase in the use of electrical energy. In addition, the negligence of electricity users in monitoring electricity usage at the place of the electricity meter also causes an increase in electrical energy. Monitoring the electricity meter in real time can limit the user from manage their electricity efficiently. This study aims to create a web-based electrical energy usage prediction system. This system can make it easier for users to manage and reduce waste of electrical energy. In the development of this system, it begins by collecting image data of remaining electricity which are processed manually into electrical energy consumption data. Then the data is pre-processed so that the data is clean and ready to use. The clean data is carried out by the process of making a Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) model which was chosen because it can overcome Time Series and Non-Linear data types. LSTM model is designed to be able to predict the use of electrical energy. Then do the web application design as an interface on the predictive data. Based on the results of the test, the LSTM model can predict the use of electrical energy with a Loss Mean Square Error (MSE) value of 0.0071. While the results of website testing carried out with the alpha test get an accuracy of 100% and a beta test of 82.64%.
As 5G Mobile Private Security Analysis Based on Cloud Computing
Authors: Yolanda Sari Michelle Octavia
Published: May 2023

As time passes by, the increasing demands from 4G technology services to 5G technology are getting bigger. In line with the development of 5G, there are several open sources such as Free5gc, Open5gs which already provide core 5G network services so that they can help create and simulate private 5G networks. By using free5gc open source, it still needs more attention from the security side, especially from common attacks such as DDoS. Then the attack scenario is carried out from the inner network side, namely from the UE with the TCP SYN Flood and Ping of Death attack methods. The results of the attack contained comparisons for CPU and memory usage parameters. Then the TCP SYN Flood attack had an impact on the core network function components, namely Access and Mobility Management (AMF), which in 5G services experienced errors or crashes after receiving large packets. Thus, users cannot use the service because if an error occurs in the core network function (AMF), then the connection to gNB and the UE will also be lost
Significance of Accuracy Comparison in Real-Time Kinematic and Single Point Positioning On-Board Application in Vehicles
Authors: Andrian Taufan Zandy
Published: May 2023

Vehicle tracking using the positioning system that is used today is the single point positioning method implementation, but the accuracy of the method is still inadequate for further features to be applied. Therefore, an accuracy improvement is needed. By applying the Real Time Kinematic (RTK) method which has an centimeter level of accuracy, the IndiCar webapp made by PT. Telkom Indonesia offers further features in driving, such as sudden vehicle movements detection, to accidents indications. Accuracy comparisons can also be made to define how significant the difference in accuracy of the two methods. The tests show quite significant results. At single point positioning, the largest deviation is at 20 m and the smallest at 1.0960 m, while in the RTK method, the largest deviation is at a value of 80 cm while the smallest at 0.92 cm. The standard deviation value is then used in the calculation of accuracy. With CEP calculations, the single point positioning method produces accuracy at 5.4659 m, while the RTK method provides a more precise level of accuracy, with a value of 18.22 cm. These results show that the RTK method can be an alternative, to improve accuracy in the use of positioning systems.
Actual Problems of Execution of Administrative Deprivation of the Right to Drive Vehicles on the Example of Interaction of Traffic Police and Gostechnadzor Bodies of Russian Federation
Authors: Lomov Ivan Sergeevich
Published: May 2023

Our article is designed to identify the actual problems of the execution of administrative punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to drive vehicles of all kinds on the example of the interaction of traffic police and Gostekhnadzor bodies in the Russian Federation and propose their solution. The relevance of our topic is related to the annual increase in the number of registered vehicles in the Russian Federation, for the management of which more and more certificates are issued. At the same time, being an unconditional source of increased danger, the vehicle and the person driving it on the basis of the right granted by the state always bear the risk of harm to health, human life, the environment, property, which naturally can lead to violation of the foundations of the constitutional order, morality, rights and legitimate interests of people.   The main objective of our article is to determine the theoretical foundations of the state's activities to endow subjects of administrative and legal relations with the right to drive vehicles, as well as to consider the reasons for the ineffectiveness of interaction between traffic police and Gostekhnadzor bodies in the Russian Federation for the execution of administrative punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to drive vehicles. The uniqueness of the work and its scientific novelty lies in the fact that compliance with the provisions of the Code of the Russian Federation on the execution of administrative punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to drive vehicles is proposed to be achieved by introducing into practice the activities of the traffic police and Gostechnadzor bodies in the Russian Federation, the practical experience of interaction between the inspection of Gostechnadzor of the Kursk region with the territorial divisions of the traffic police of the Kursk region, which has already been implemented for two years areas.

Authors: Lapina Darya Andreevna
Published: May 2023

The subject of the study is the political and social aspect of the formation of town-planning scheme of ancient Russian cities. The object of the study is architecture, urban planning, street layout, urbanonims, social topography of cities such as Kiev, Novgorod, Vladimir, Ryazan. The author examines in detail the following aspects of the topic: the influence of the political situation on the architectural appearance of the city, the social and ethnic composition of the population of cities, the origin of ancient Russian urban toponyms. Particular attention is paid to architecture and urban planning as a source on social and political history, the process of evolution of urban development in the context of foreign policy relations, the influence of domestic political and social factors on it. The main conclusions of the study are that the following trends can be identified in the town-planning scheme of ancient Russian cities: chaotic development at the first stage of development and withdrawal to planning with the strengthening of political power, secondariness of streets in some cities of Ancient Russia, by means of urbanonims of ancient Novgorod, Vladimir and Kiev, it is possible to develop ideas about the social and ethnic composition of the city's population Ancient Russia, to trace the changes in its structure, in its political situation. A special contribution of the author to the study of the topic is the identification of a common architectural element between two religious buildings of different regions and different periods in the context of foreign policy contacts. This element is a promising portal in the Church of St. Paraskevi and in the church of Allenau in the village of Porechye, Kaliningrad region. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that urban planning and architecture of Ancient Russia can serve not only in the format of an art history discipline, but also as a visual illustration for political and social history. At the moment, the architecture and urban planning grid of ancient Russian cities is not considered as a serious source in research related to political power, international relations, and the history of social structures.

Associative-verbal network of thymological assessment in the Russian language
Authors: Pervukhina Valeriya Alekseevna
Published: May 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of reactions to the important in three associative dictionaries: "SEABASS – Russian regional associative database (Siberia and the Far East)", "Russian regional associative dictionary-thesaurus EVRAS" and "Russian associative Dictionary". The research material is valid, since the associative experiment is one of the reliable methods of psycholinguistics. Reactions explicitly expressing the idea of a person are excluded from consideration in connection with their consideration in the author's previous work. The relevance of the research is connected with insufficient development of scientific ideas about the category of ‘important’ in modern Russian linguistics. The description is based on the semantic gestalt method. The author identifies and describes the semantic groups formed by the reactions under consideration. Their analysis demonstrates the structure of the world, which is built by the category of importance. This world is not elementary and simple, it is multicomponent and complex. In it, a person is a subject with the ability to actively think and create abstract objects and names for them. A thinking subject uses an evaluation scale and can choose what is important to him (T-rank) and what is not (t-rank). This is one of the tools that a person uses to control their activities. Based on these conclusions, the author comes to the conclusion about the "human dimension" of the category "important" in the Russian language.
On the question of the reception of the theory of the polyphonic novel by M.M. Bakhtin in Russian Literary Studies
Authors: Ma Mengqiu
Published: May 2023

The article is devoted to the problem of reception of the theory of the polyphonic novel by M.M. Bakhtin in Russian literary studies. The theory of the polyphonic novel by M.M. Bakhtin has been attracting the attention of researchers for more than 90 years. To date, a large number of works devoted to the study of Bakhtin's polyphonic theory have been published in Russia. A broad dialogue between researchers led to an increase in the degree of perception of Bakhtin's polyphonic theory, as well as to the deepening of research on Dostoevsky's novels. The purpose of our work is to identify the state and main trends in the reception of the theory of Bakhtin's polyphonic novel in Russia. In the article, the author gives an idea of the gradual development of Bakhtin's polyphonic idea in Russian literary studies, analyzes the specifics of the reception of the theory of the polyphonic novel at each stage. Based on the analysis, we came to the conclusion that the reception of Bakhtin's polyphonic novel theory in Russian literary studies is connected not only with the publication of the book by the scientist Dostoevsky, but also with the state of perception of Dostoevsky's work, and the hottest discussions in the process of receiving Bakhtin's theory are around the question of the independence of the voices of heroes and the role of the author in Dostoevsky's polyphonic novel, Bakhtin's methodological approach to the analysis of Dostoevsky's creativity. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the fact that the author considers various interpretations of the theory of Bakhtin's polyphonic novel in Russian literary studies.

Published: May 2023

The claims of primary school children with speech disorders are characterized by the presence of maladaptive forms of behavior in a situation of success or failure. Students with speech disorders demonstrate such features of behavior in a situation of failure as: blaming others and circumstances for their failures (including language), problems in communication and interpersonal interaction, taking responsibility for their actions, discrediting goals and objectives, low productivity of organized activities. The article presents the results of a study of the level of claims of primary school students with speech disorders and their peers without speech pathologies. The purpose of the article: to study the level of claims of younger schoolchildren with severe speech disorders. The study sample consisted of 40 students of grades 3 – 4. The level of students' claims was determined using the "Schwarzlander Motor Test" technique. For students with speech disorders, the predominance of an inadequately inflated level of claims is characteristic. Unrealistically high levels of claims were found in 75% of students with speech disorders. Moderate and high levels of pretensions prevail among students with normotypic development. Students with speech disorders have an inadequately inflated level of claims. An unrealistically high level of claims was revealed only in a group of students with speech disorders. Their claims are characterized by: firstly, low resistance to failure and low ability to withstand prolonged stress, and secondly, a great need for high claims associated with unrealistically inflated self-esteem.
The Role of the "Day of Russian Culture" in Constructing Russian Emigration Identity of the "First Wave".
Authors: Bulatov Ivan Aleksandrovich
Published: May 2023

Russian Culture Day, celebrated in most of the countries of Russian emigration on the birthday of Alexander Pushkin, is the subject of the study. In the article, this celebration is considered not as a narrowly cultural event, but as a national holiday, that is, an event whose value is recognized by all members of the nation who, as spectators or participants, are involved in the celebrations. Special attention is paid to three key functions of the holiday: uniting, protecting young people from denationalization and maintaining a sense of collective dignity. Other functions are also considered, the most obvious of which are entertainment and educational, but these three influenced the formation of a special emigrant identity. It is demonstrated that despite the remaining differences, different political forces took part in the preparation and holding of the holiday. At the same time, the view of the historical significance of Russian culture and the role of Pushkin could differ, but the controversy remained within the framework of the holiday, which served as a platform for communication. Special attention is paid to the press and its influence on the formation and development of the Day of Russian Culture. The text notes that the Day of Russian Culture was a phenomenon of "white emigration", expressing its values and aspirations. This celebration existed and consolidated the "white" emigrant mythology, one of the key characteristics of which was the belief in a speedy return to their homeland, "liberated" from the Communists. The victory in the Second World War of the Soviet Union, led to the disappointment of emigrants in this idea. Also at the end of the 40s, the "second wave" got into emigration, which was very different in its abilities from its predecessors. These factors predetermined the fading and disappearance of such an important symbol of "white emigration" as the Day of Russian Culture.

Neurosurgery societies around the world: A study and discussion about its importance
Authors: Araújo Antônio Victor Santos , Lacerda Amanda Araújo , de Oliveira Amanda Alves , Filho Euler Nicolau Sauaia
Published: May 2023

Background:

Harvey Cushing and collaborators created the first society of neurosurgeons in 1920, in the United States of America, the Society of Neurological Surgeons. In 1955, the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) was created in Switzerland to improve neurosurgical care globally through the scientific cooperation of members. The performance of neurosurgical associations today is fundamental to discuss diagnostic methods and therapeutic approaches, transforming modern medicine. Although most neurosurgical associations are recognized worldwide, there are some societies that are not recognized internationally due to a lack of regulatory bodies and lack of official digital channels, among other reasons. The main objective of the article is to list the neurosurgical societies and to provide a more integrated view of the interactions between neurosurgical societies in different countries.

Methods:

We developed a table summarizing the countries recognized by the United Nations, the continents, capitals, name of the present societies, and social networks. We utilized “Country AND (Neurosurgery OR Neurological Surgery) AND (Society OR Association),” in English, and in the native language of the country. Our search included: PubMed, Scopus, Google, Google Scholar, and the WFNS website, without filters.

Results:

We found 189 neurosurgery associations, from 131 countries and territories; 77 countries did not have their own neurosurgical societies.

Conclusion:

There is a difference between the number of internationally recognized societies, and the number of societies found in this study. In the future, we should better organize neurosurgical societies in countries that have neurosurgical activity with those without such resources.

Published: May 2023

Introduction. Chronic ulcers pose a public health challenge. Thus, it is imperative to be aware of and assess new management strategies that contribute to patient quality of life and optimize health resources. This study evaluated the efficacy of a new protocol for chronic wound management that includes porcine intestine ECM. Materials and Methods. Twenty-one patients with chronic wounds of different etiologies were included in this study. A new healing protocol that incorporates the use of porcine ECM was initiated for a maximum period of 12 weeks. Follow-up included a weekly visit to photograph the ulcers and record their size. Results. Wounds ranged in size from 0.5 cm2 to 10 cm2 at the outset of the study. Two of the 21 patients who started the protocol withdrew, 1 for nonadherence to the protocol and 1 for health complications unrelated to the study. Most lesions occurred in the lower limbs. All patients who completed the treatment protocol achieved wound regeneration and total wound closure within an average of 4.5 weeks. The average percentage closure rate was 100% at 8 weeks, with no AEs. Conclusions. The findings of this study demonstrate the efficacy of an evidence-based wound management protocol in achieving safe, complete tissue regeneration in a short period of time.

Introduction. NPWT is a surgical dressing that combines polyurethane foam with the subsequent application of continuous or intermittent negative pressure. NPWT facilitates granulation tissue production by macrostrain, microstrain and, if desired, fluid instillation. Sealing the polyurethane foam over the wound bed is achieved using acrylic drapes; however, this can be difficult to use in some anatomic sites. Failure to achieve an effective seal can necessitate additional supplies, which has led to increased innovation in developing a more effective NPWT seal over the target wound bed. Obtaining an effective pressure seal on the feet or hands can be difficult because these anatomic sites have distinct curvature for each digit, with multiple interdigital web spaces and independent mobility. In this case report, the authors propose a technique to apply either an acrylic drape or combination acrylic and soft silicone drape utilizing the “sandwich technique” to seal NPWT foam quickly and efficiently to the feet or hands.

Glycyrrhiza glabra L. commonly known as licorice belonging to the family Leguminosae is an ayurvedic medicinal plant having substantial pharmacological properties such as anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. Analysed ethnopharmacological studies show phytochemical and biological activities of the plant extract and serve as a resource for studying anti- endometriosis. According to WHO, 176 million women in the world are affected with endometriosis condition and up to 30-50% of women may experience infertility. Our study aims to evaluate in vitro activity of ethanolic extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra in different cell lines, DPPH assay and HPLC studies in order to propose it to be an effective remedy in endometriosis treatment. In vitro cytotoxic assessment of the extract was determined in estrogenic (MCF 7), non-estrogenic (MDAMB 231) and endometrial cancer cell lines (Ishikawa) along with its safety assessment in normal cell lines (L929). The extract of G. glabra exhibited DPPH radical scavenging activity with 77.09% inhibition in 100 μg concentration. Cytotoxic activity of extract in MCF 7, MDAMB 231, endometrial cancer cells- Ishikawa and significant cell viability in normal L929 cell line shows promising effect of the extract and suggests it as a possible therapeutic adjuvant for treating endometriosis.
Role of Genestein and similar compound in treating Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) comes as a result of prolonged high levels of glucose in diabetic patients. It is diagnosed primarily upon the presence of microalbuminuria (MA). If not controlled, it ultimately leads to end-stage renal disorders (ESRD). Many reports have highlighted the role of genetics and epigenetics including histone modifications in the progression of DN. HDAC inhibitors are now a current research trend and new therapeutic targets. Treatment methods still are not so prevalent in ameliorating DN. The number of side effects associated with synthetic drugs makes researchers look for alternatives that are less toxic. Phytochemicals can be a good alternative to these synthetic drugs as they are relatively safe and have multiple interactive targets. To fish out potent phytochemicals, a thorough review was done on current existing literature and Genistein was chosen. Structurally similar compounds were found by doing structural similarity searches with filter 70%. Top 3 similar compounds were chosen and further docked with human SIRT1 protein. Docking was done to identify potent compound for treating DN and similar binding energies proved that similar compounds may have the potential to ameliorate DN. ADME studies were further done to check what will be the fate of these compounds when administered in the body. In vitro study proved that daidzein and genistein are SIRT1 activators and may be a potential cure for DN.

Published: May 2023

Bioactive compounds of Syzygium cumini kernel bio-transformed into microbial metabolites exhibited potential increase in pharmacological characterization. Different probiotic bacterial consortia lead to the production of various bioactive metabolites. Most of the microbial metabolites derived from probiotic bacterial fermentation have pharmacological/ druglikeness properties and some metabolites have biological activities like anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Molecular docking of microbial metabolites that have passed the rule of five criteria against the protein target of PDB ID 5IKR– cyclooxygenase-2 exhibit, enhanced anti-inflammatory property that may lead to pharmacological investigations. The binding energies of higher area percentage compounds are oxirane, hexadecyl- (-4.5kcal/mol), octadecanoic acid (-5.8kcal/mol), n-hexadecanoic acid (-4.1kcal/mol) and oleic acid (-3.8kcal/mol). Octadecanoic acid seems to show higher anti-inflammatory activity than the control drug asprin (-5.1kcal/mol).
Phosphatase activity of Phosphate Solubilizing Fungi Isolation from Rhizosphere Soil of Medicinal Plants of Shivamogga District

Published: May 2023

Phosphatases are a group of enzymes which significantly accelerate the release of inorganic phosphate from organically bound phosphate and return to the soil by phosphate solubilizing fungi. Hence for the present study, we focused on the activity of phosphatase. Total 46 fungi were isolated from 55 rhizosphere soils of medicinal plants at Malnad regions of Shivamogga district. Among them, 10 isolates were selected by screening them using their solubilization index ranging from 3.02 to 3.96 and they were further evaluated. The selected 10 isolates showed good results in phosphate solubilization parameters. Decreased pH was observed in culture broth (4.3 to 3.0) from initial pH of 6.89. Amount of acid present in the culture broth (30.01 - 38.08g/L) and concentration of phosphate (70 - 20μg/ml) were recorded. The phosphatases activity was determined on 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th days after incubation at room temperature. Among them, PSF 44 (Aspergillus awamori) showed maximum alkaline phosphatase activity of 0.81, 1.53, 2.15 and 2.38μg PNP liberated/ml/min and acid phosphatases activity of 0.71, 1.34, 2.30 and 2.34μg PNP liberated/ml/min on 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day respectively after incubation. Hence due to the maximum phosphatase activity and phosphate solubilization capacity of Aspergillus awamori, they can be recommended as phospho-fungal bioinoculum for agricultural field.

In this study, Aporrectodea trapezoides were collected from three locations in the north, central and south of Baghdad (Rashdiyah, Jadriyah and Zafaraniyah). The species was initially identified using morphological characteristics, and then genetic links among the researched species in the three locations were analyzed using molecular techniques (DNA barcoding). In order to validate the species of earthworms examined, their nuclear 18S rDNA gene sequences were analyzed and a phylogenetic tree was constructed. The nucleotide sequences were compared to those in GenBank by using the online Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (Blast). The DNA barcoding of the nuclear 18S rDNA has been shown to be an effective tool for species identification of earthworms, and it provides a powerful complement to traditional morphological identification as shown by a Blast analysis showing 99-100% similarity with sequence annotated in GenBank at 18S region. DNA sequence from one of the species under study has been submitted in GenBank with an accession number.
