Published: May 2022

Cellulose based nanofilms have large applications in biomedical and related fields due to their antimicrobial properties. Their applicability depends upon purity of cellulose, composition, and structural properties of films. The nanofilms of cellulose extracted from Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and Roselle (Hibiscus Sabdariffa) plant possesses excellent properties for biomedical applications due to their biological origin and ZnO or other metal loading properties. Microwave assisted physical separation of cellulose provided excellent films formation properties and ZnO loading compared without any chemical traces. The presence of chemical impurities to affects structural, morphological properties and contact angle. It affects the biomedical applicability of cellulose based films. The microwave-based extraction was further assisted by use of polyethylene glycol with molecular weight 600, which increases the solubility and extractability of cellulose to 90 %. Formed films showed higher contact angle and hydrophobicity. This increased hydrophobicity of cellulosic nanofilms showed enhanced antimicrobial activities towards gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria by water hyacinth nanofilms. Thus, microwave-based synthesis of cellulose nanofilms resulted into enhanced microbial activities.

Authors: Massa Bruno , Canale Emanuela Domenica , Lo Verde Gabriella , Congi Gianluca , La Mantia Tommaso , Ientile Renzo
Published: May 2022

Mediterranean Crossbills are as much differentiated as L. scotica and L. pytyopsittacus. They are sedentary, linked to pine trees and have evolved a thicker bill to extract the seeds from Pine cones. Their decolorization could be due to dietary causes. The authors studied biometrics, breeding phenology, and primary food of Italian populations living in Calabria and Etna (Sicily) and compared them with the other Mediterranean populations. A coevolutive radiation between the different populations of Mediterranean Crossbills presently living in the three main peninsulas, adiacent islands and North Africa occurred separately and this may be demonstrated by their morphometrics, their sedentariness, as well as by songs and some genetic results recently published. They conclude that the same criteria followed to raise L. curvirostra scotica to the species rank as scotica occur also for the different Mediterranean populations.

Background:

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects various systems of the body. The present study was conducted with the aim to explain the lived experiences of Iranian patients with RA.

Materials and Methods:

According to the research question, the phenomenological research approach was used. The participants were selected through purposive sampling, and sampling was continued until data saturation was achieved. The data was collected by conducting unstructured interviews and using an audio recorder. To interpret the data, an interpretive/hermeneutic approach was implemented using Van Manen's method. In addition, Lincoln and Guba's criteria were used to evaluate data robustness.

Results:

A total of 24 participants participated in the study. Overall, 145 basic concept codes were extracted which were classified into the four main themes of self-management with the participation of the family, spiritual resilience in the face of existing problems, the tendency to hide the disease, and the fear of an uncertain future.

Conclusions:

It is recommended that care providers use the findings of this study to develop care plans in the various aspects of the physical, mental, social, and spiritual needs of patients with RA based on their concerns and deep experiences. It is also suggested that other qualitative research approach methodologies such as grounded theory for explaining the process of patient care and providing an appropriate model, or action research for solving the problems of hospitalized patients through suitable care at home be implemented.

Published: May 2022

Introduction:

World Health Organization declared coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) as global pandemic on March 20, 2020. Highly contagious nature of this new virus and high propensity for human-to-human transmission led to various challenges, one of them is stigma and discrimination. This led to ill-treatment, devaluation of affected individuals, termination of employment, abandonment, and physical violence. The current study attempts to assess the magnitude of social stigma and discrimination among COVID-19 survivors.

Methods:

Longitudinal study was conducted among COVID-19 survivors from June 2020 to February 2021 at tertiary care center, Jamnagar, Gujarat, India. Participants were contacted through telephone, interview was conducted at 1 and 6 months, using pro forma containing demographic details, “Stigma questionnaire” and “Discrimination questionnaire.”

Results:

A total of 420 participants of age 18–60 years participated in the study. Participants experienced personalized stigma had concerns regarding disclosure of illness and public attitudes. Discrimination at their respective workplace was also observed. Stigma was statistically significant related to gender and geographical area (F = 3.879, P < 0.05, R2 = 0.45), while discrimination statistically significant related to geographical area (F = 2.407, P < 0.05, R2 = 0.028). The stigma and discrimination was still prevalent after 6 months; however, there was a reduction in overall stigmatization which was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

The large cohort of participants faced significant social stigma and discrimination in terms of personalized stigma, negative self-image, and workplace discrimination. Increasing awareness, knowledge about illness, and availability of treatment facilities can contribute in lowering the stigma.

Published: May 2022

Purpose Appropriate preclinical mouse models are needed to evaluate the response to immunotherapeutic agents. Immunocompetent mouse models have rarely been reported for gastric cancer. Thus, we investigated immunophenotypes and responses to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) in immunocompetent mouse models using various murine gastric cancer cell lines.Materials and Methods We constructed subcutaneous syngeneic tumors with murine gastric cancer cell lines, YTN3 and YTN16, in C57BL/6J mice. Mice were intraperitoneally treated with IgG isotype control or an anti–programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) neutralizing antibody. We used immunohistochemistry to evaluate the tumor-infiltrating immune cells of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded mouse tumor tissues. We compared the protein and RNA expression between YTN3 and YTN16 cell lines using a mouse cytokine array and RNA sequencing.Results The mouse tumors revealed distinct histological and molecular characteristics. YTN16 cells showed upregulation of genes and proteins related to immunosuppression, such as Ccl2 (CCL2) and Csf1 (M-CSF). Macrophages and exhausted T cells were more enriched in YTN16 tumors than in YTN3 tumors. Several YTN3 tumors were completely regressed by the PD-L1 inhibitor, whereas YTN16 tumors were unaffected. Although treatment with a PD-L1 inhibitor increased infiltration of T cells in both the tumors, the proportion of exhausted immune cells did not decrease in the non-responder group.Conclusion We confirmed the histological and molecular features of cancer cells with various responses to ICI. Our models can be used in preclinical research on ICI resistance mechanisms to enhance clinical efficacy.

Objective: This work reports the possible toxicological effects of AgNPs on the liver and kidney. Additionally, it also beamed its searchlight on its effects on the antioxidant defense mechanism in male Wistar rats.Method: Male Wistar rats (n=28) were used for the study. Control animals (n=7) were exposed to only drinking ware ad-libitum for 12 weeks. The remaining 21 rats were randomized into 3 groups of 7 animals each and were exposed to 50, 150 and 250 kg/mg body weight AgNPs biosynthesized from Citrus sinensisi for the same period after which blood and liver were removed from the rats and analyzed spectrophotometrically.Results: A non-significant reduction of plasma ALT, AST, ?GT and ALP characterized the effects of AgNPs in the animal tested. Similarly, AgNPs significantly depleted the plasma creatinine and urea level. The exposure also up-regulated the activities/concentration of antioxidant markers. Malondialdehyde concentration was also significantly depleted by AgNPs.Conclusion: The findings from this study revealed that biologically synthesized AgNPs induced no toxicological potential on hepatic and renal structural and functional integrity. Meanwhile, it enhanced the activities and concentration of antioxidant markers.

Development of Learning Media Simulation of Automatic Garden Lights Using the Proteus Application
Authors: Saputra Renda Sandi
Published: May 2022

With so many garden lights, gardeners often struggle to turn on or turn on garden lights manually, this study aims to make it easier for park officers or gardeners to turn on or turn off garden lights practically. Automatic garden light is a lighting system that runs automatically, this system can use light sensors such as LDR (Light Dependent Resistor), photodiode and others. However, this circuit system can also use a timer that has been set in time when the circuit or garden lights will turn on and off, this can happen because there is an automatic switch circuit that utilizes the characteristics of one of the light sensors, namely the LDR sensor whose resistance value can change according to Light intensity. During the day, the resistance value of the LDR will be very high and even reach its maximum value of 10k , this makes the current flowing to the base of the transistor very small, to activate the transistor 2N3055 a minimum voltage of 0.9V is needed to the base of the transistor. Because the resistance of the LDR is very large, the voltage that enters the base of the transistor will be very small or even non-existent so that the transistor is like an open switch and does not flow current. One type of automatic switch that is widely used today is a light switch with a light sensor, where the switch will turn off and on automatically because it is affected by the intensity of the light around it. For example, at night, we don't need to press the switch to turn on the lights, because the lights will turn on automatically. The results of this study indicate that the simulation experiment of garden lights using the Proteus application went well, the use of simulation using Proteus also aims to make it easier for us to understand an electronic component and how it works.

This phenomenon mainly appears in urban areas with more advanced socio-economic development than other areas, such as Yogyakarta. This study explores factors that drive the choice of schools for children of middle-class Muslim families in Indonesia. We used qualitative research methods in the data collection and data analysis process. Participants in this study are seven parents from several modern Islamic-based elementary schools in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The results show, factors that drive the choice of schools for children of the middle-class family in Indonesia are connectivity between the goals of education in schools and the goals of family education is to build good children’s morals based on Islamic values and to provide a balanced provision of both religious and non-religious knowledge for the future welfare of their children.
Lead…For Father’s Sake: An Autoethnography on Leadership Growth in Western and Indigenous Contexts
Authors: Jok Dau
Published: May 2022

This autoethnography examines the juxtaposition of Western and Indigenous ideas of leadership through my lens and experiences as a refugee, student-athlete, a patriarch in a sub-Saharan African culture, and Soldier. I utilized existing literature on leadership perspectives from multiple regions (McManus & Perruci, 2015) to contextualize the study, revealing insights into differences in leader-follower relationship, decision-making, and responsibilities. Although the Western context, specifically the United States, is predominantly individualistic, I highlight the versatility and plurality of its leadership—sports and the military provide the most potent examples. Leaders in the Western context are judged on their leadership role, whereas Indigenous leaders are judged on their actions and every aspect of their life beyond their role. Indigenous Dinka (South Sudan) leadership context reveals unique insights into the role of leaders, followers, context, and culture. Leadership educators and scholars can use the insights to inform leadership development programs, research agendas for immigrant youth in the United States, and youth models of leadership ideas in practice.

Melatonin levels were found to be between 62.8-164.5 ng/L in experimental group and 22.1-105.9 ng/L in control group. Kisspeptin levels were determined to be between 209.8-514.2 ng/L in experimental group and 92.6-356.6 ng/L in control group. Zinc supplementations showed numerical increases in kisspeptin and melatonin levels but because of the individual variations, no statistical significance was found (P > 0.05).

Introdução de características do mecanismo fotossintético C4 em espécies C3 da família Cleomaceae
Authors:   , Gomes Priscilla Falquetto
Published: May 2022

Cleomaceae é uma família de plantas interessante para estudos de evolução do mecanismo fotossintético C4 , uma vez que contém representantes dos três mecanismos (C3, C4 e C3 -C4 ). O mecanismo fotossintético C4 evoluiu independentemente da fotossíntese C3 . Para estabelecimento do mecanismo C4 ocorreram adaptações morfofisiológicas nas plantas, tais como a diferenciação de células da bainha do feixe vascular, alterações da maquinaria enzimática e aumento do transporte de metabólitos, gerando um mecanismo com maior eficiência fotossintética. Neste trabalho foram gerados híbridos interespecíficos entre duas espécies C3 (T. hassleriana e T. longicarpa) e uma espécie C4 (G. gynandra), ambas da família Cleomaceae., a fim de promover interações genômicas que resultam em fenótipos distintos dos observados nos parentais em relação ao mecanismo fotossintético. Os híbridos e parentais foram avaliados em termos de características anatômicas, bioquímicas e fisiológicas. As linhas híbridas obtidas entre o cruzamento de T. longicarpa e G. gynandra apresentaram anatomia proto-Kranz, caracterizadas por aumento na largura das células da bainha do feixe vascular, aumento na densidade de venação, e redução na distância internerval, além de apresentarem redução de aproximadamente 20% no ponto de compensação de CO2 em relação a T. longicarpa. O perfil metabólico em folhas dessas mesmas linhas híbridas apresentou mínimas diferenças, porém capazes de diferenciar híbridos e parentais em uma análise de componentes principais. Em termos de viabilidade de sementes verificou-se que os cruzamentos entre T. longicarpa e G. gynandra produziram sementes viáveis e descendentes férteis, apresentando potencial para seguir com estudos na população F2. Portanto, os resultados obtidos demonstram o potencial da hibridação interespecífica utilizando espécies da família Cleomaceae em oferecer novas perspectivas para estudos de mecanismos concentradores de CO2 em plantas.

Stomatal response time to dynamic changes is essentially unaffected by growth light for three woody species
Authors:   , Freitas Rafael Silva
Published: May 2022

Stomata are small epidermal pores responsible for the strict control of the amount of CO 2 that diffuses into the leaves while controlling the amount of water vapor lost by them to the atmosphere. The time required for the stomatal valve opening and closing is coordinated with an optimized hydraulic supply and strongly responds to the surrounding environment. Here, we demonstrate that intense shading conditions promote high levels of plasticity in plants of Podocarpus macrophyllus, Eucalyptus urophylla, and Capsicum chinense, in a series of hydraulic, anatomical and gas exchange traits, parameters that have been associated with optimized stomatal kinetics. The high levels of plasticity expressed in the species that we observed (in leaf hydraulic conductance values as well as stomatal size, density, and length) did not necessarily translate into changes in stomatal kinetics, here assessed as the time required to change the initial stomatal conductance in 90%. Our findings demonstrate that, although these parameters are mechanistically involved in stomatal functioning and exhibit profound plastic behavior, a number of other factors that probably are insensible to light supply also dictate this process, rendering the stomatal response time to dynamic changes in light essentially unaffected by growth light conditions. Keywords: Hydraulic conductance. Irradiance. Light acclimation. Leaf Gas Exchange. Stomatal density.
Discretion in the exercise of jurisdiction in conflict cases in Nigeria
Authors: Nwapi Chilenye , Egbebu Emeka J , Akazua Thankgod
Published: May 2022

This article analyses the jurisprudence of discretionary jurisdiction in conflicts cases in Nigeria to interrogate the considerations of theory and practical policy (or lack thereof) that, in the authors’ view, have influenced the development of the relevant law and procedure. The analysis includes an assessment of whether too much or too little weight has been given to some theories or policies. The article discusses discretionary jurisdiction in three main situations: (1) where the defendant is outside the jurisdiction of the forum court and, therefore, must be served ex juris; (2) when the court is invited to decline jurisdiction based on the doctrine of forum non conveniens; and (3) when there are parallel proceedings in a foreign jurisdiction. A key finding is that discretionary jurisdiction in Nigeria is highly under-theorised in the jurisprudence. Nigerian intellectuals have, for their part, not given the subject adequate consideration. There is, therefore, a dearth of literature to draw on. The article sifts through the rules of court and court decisions to discover the theoretical and practical considerations for the courts’ exercise of discretionary jurisdiction in the three situations mentioned.

Os fluidos são essenciais na fase de perfuração de poço de petróleo. A composição muda de acordo com a aplicação. Para melhorar a eficiência, a indústria investiga diferentes aditivos para lamas de perfuração com aplicabilidade em formações reativas como a Formação Calumbi. Assim, este trabalho propõe a formulação de um fluido de perfuração de base aquosa com o objetivo de avaliar a reatividade em folhelhos da Formação Calumbi. Foi avaliada a influência da adição de aditivos inibidores (cloreto de potássio e polímero catiônico) e viscosificantes (goma xantana e carboximetilcelulose). As propriedades reológicas e as medições de molhabilidade do fluido foram realizadas de acordo com padrões específicos. Os resultados mostraram que o uso simultâneo de cloreto de potássio e polímero catiônico apresentou baixa reatividade nos folhelhos da Formação Calumbi. A presença da goma xantana promoveu menor interação entre o fluido e a rocha. A formulação proposta possui características compatíveis com uma formação, de grande relevância para a Bacia de Sergipe-Alagoas.

Glutamine (GLN) and glutamic acid (GLA) are involved in many metabolic processes, from nucleotide synthesis to nerve impulse conduction; GLN is also an energy substrate for immunocompetent cells, making it an important link in the immune response. In stressful situations, which include significant physical activity, plasma levels of GLN and GLA decrease as a result of the amino acid being actively consumed in many biochemical reactions. GLN deficiency can lead to a number of negative manifestations in athletes and adversely affect athletic performance. The purpose of this work was to study the effects of glutamine deficiency and the possible replenishment of the deficiency by the consumption of exogenous forms of the substance when using glutamine-containing products; special attention was paid to the study of transient decrease in immune function as a relevant factor that impairs the mode of sports training.
