Drug-resistant bacteria pose an increasingly serious threat to mankind all over the world. However, the currently available clinical treatments do not meet the urgent demand. Therefore, it is desirable to find new targets and inhibitors to overcome the problems of antibiotic resistance. Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is an important enzyme required to maintain bacterial growth, and hence inhibitors of DHFR have been proven as effective agents for treating bacterial infections. In the present work, we have designed some methyl 2-(1H-pyrazol-4-ylthio)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-methylpyrimidine-5-carboxylate derivatives as potential DHFR inhibitors through rational drug design approach. The designed derivatives were screened through Lipinski rule, Veber’s rule, ADMET analysis, drug-likeness properties, and molecular docking. All the compounds demonstrated more potent activity than Ampicillin against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Most of the compounds were more or equipotent than Chloramphenicol and Ciprofloxacin. Compound A7 was sensitive at 25 µg/mL against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus whereas compound A20 was sensitive to all gram +ve and –ve bacteria at same concentration. Compound A16 was sensitive at 50 µg/mL against all the bacteria. In antifungal activity, compound A7 exhibited MFCs of 100 µg/mL against Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus clavatus which is same as Nystatin.

Authors: Bhagyalakshmi Ganji , Raja Sabita
Published: March 2022

In several areas throughout the world, the eggs of the fictitious host insect, Corcyra cephalonica, are used to produce multiple natural enemies, such as Trichogramma species, which are widely utilized for biological control of lepidopterous pests on diverse crops in more than 30 nations. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of RH-5849, a non-steroidal ecdysone mimic, on the gonadotrophic parameters of the rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica.  The separated II instar larva received the compound topically on the abdomen dorsum by means of Hamilton micro syringe in acetone. Five replicates (50 insect/replicate) were used per each dosage. Similar replicates were used for the control insects without any treatment. The mean number of eggs laid by a female moth was worked out on the basis of the total number of eggs laid by ten females. In a dose-dependent way, the sterility percentage was enhanced while the hatching percentage was decreased. The sterility indices were shown to be dose-dependent, according to current data. It should not be forgotten that the hatching percentages reversed this effectuation tendency (egg viability).

Published: March 2022

The appearance of the state is the need of life, it appears to remove helplessness, unhappiness, and falsehood in family and religious life. But the existence of the state becomes a public servant's job. Civil servants became a livelihood for the state in enforcing laws and issuing money. Money and law are the basic tools of every state. The state governs citizens by law and distributes products with money. When public servants are scarce, fake public servants appear popular, making society constantly increase inequality. Eliminating falsehoods of civil servants, eradicating social injustice becomes the abolition of the state. The perishing of the state is a natural historical process.
Darwinowska teoria ewolucji w wypowiedziach Jana Pawła II
Authors: Rupiński Piotr
Published: March 2022

Artykuł omawia wypowiedzi Jana Pawła II, w których jako papież odnosił się do teorii ewolucji i podejmował się jej oceny z punktu widzenia chrześcijańskiej nauki o stworzeniu. Zgodnie z popularnym poglądem Jan Paweł II pogodził chrześcijański kreacjonizm z ewolucjonizmem i nawet wprost określany jest jako ewolucjonista. Na podstawie konkretnych wypowiedzi papieża został wykazany szereg trudności w uzasadnieniu tak postawionej tezy. Analizie zostały poddane teksty papieskich katechez na temat stworzenia z lat 1985–1986, a także przesłania, które w 1996 roku wystosował do członków Papieskiej Akademii Nauk. Jan Paweł II zaznaczył, pod jakimi warunkami ewolucjonizm jest możliwy do pogodzenia z nauką chrześcijańską, odrzucając dogmatyczne zasady, które stały u podstaw darwinowskiej teorii ewolucji. Postulował jednak stanowisko, w którym naukowa wizja świata nie jest niezgodna z wizją religijną, a obie uzupełniają się, opisując inne wymiary rzeczywistości.

Introduction: Cerebral Palsy (CP) affects muscle coordination due to abnormal brain development. Objective and Methods: The objective was to assess nutritional status of children with CP. Anthropometric measurements and dietary recall was obtained from 75 children between age group (5-18) years. Results: There were monoplegic (14.67%), diplegic (38.67%), triplegic (12%), hemiplegic (20%) and quadriplegic children (14.67%). Mean height and weight was 128.26±25.83cm and 27.61±13.78kg, respectively. There were severely thin (29.33%), thin (9.33%), overweight (6.67%), and obese (5.33%) children. Mean energy and protein intake was lower than the requirements. Conclusions: Nutrient intake was poor and RDA was not met by the subjects. There were more undernourished children than overweight children. Key words: Cerebral palsy, spastics, nutritional status, anthropometry.
Nutritional, functional and sensory analysis of millet porridge using maltodextrin starch for dysphagia
Authors:   Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Periyar University, Paul Ayamita , Nazni P

The study focuses on evaluation of nutritional, viscous, osmolality and textural parameters of Barnyard Millet with addition of different concentration (0.5%,1%,1.5%, 2%,2.5%, 3%, 3.5% and 4% of total weight of ingredients) of thickeners (Potato and Rice Starch) for the condition of dysphagia considering NDD (National Dysphagia Diet) parameters. Macro-nutrients of the porridge, giving optimum nutrition for the patient, help maintain nutritional intake, and prevent malnutrition. The control sample's nutrient composition is low than the millet porridge prepared with the thickeners' different concentrations. Variation in Viscosity based on the concept of rheology or flow of porridge is seen due to variation in starch gelatinization with differences in the grit size. Thickness related attributes included perceived Viscosity, ease of manipulation, and ease of swallowing. Osmolality understands the number of particles of a porridge per kilogram of solvent (mmol/kg), helping us understand the patient's flow. Textural parameters of thickened porridge, analyzed using the Single Cycle Penetration test, were increased with increased concentration of the thickener used with one drop in the middle. Overall, 1% Starch porridge is nutritionally adequate and can be swallowed with ease for a dysphagia patient. Key words: Dysphagia, Porridge, Millet, Barnyard, Functional Analysis, Thickened Liquid.

One of the problems related to marriage is the issue of kafa'ah, namely alignment, equality, equivalence, or equality between the prospective husband and wife. One of the goals of kafa'ah is to realize the purpose of marriage, which is to create a happy family. In Islam, women are married for four reasons, because of her wealth, her offspring, her beauty and because of the power of her religion. Among these four factors, Islam emphasizes the choice of religion. The priority of Islam on religious factors in regulating this issue, of course, cannot be separated from efforts to achieve benefit, so the determination of kafa'ah is certainly in order to support this goal. This research is a field research that is research with data obtained from field activities. The research location is in the Sunan Drajat Islamic Boarding School, Banjaranyar village, Paciran district, Lamongan district. The results of the research conducted are that the pesantren community really understands the issue of kafa'ah, because the pesantren community is very knowledgeable about religious knowledge, it can be seen from their respective backgrounds that they are teachers at the Sunan Drajat Islamic Boarding School. In practice, among the Sunan Drajat Islamic boarding schools themselves, not all people in the pesantren scope apply kafa'ah in their marriages, but there are still those who apply kafa'ah both from the ndalem family and families living around the pesantren, even though from all criteria Kafa'ah is not applied, only a few, it is enough to be capital to build a household into a sakinah family

Study and Analysis of Dual Mode Operation of Single DC Motor (Series and Separately Excitation Modes)
Authors: Saleem Dr. Rubeena , Kapoor Dr. Richa , Khan Dr. Rahat Ullah
Published: March 2022

This paper presents a novel idea of a method to run DC series motor and then into DC separately excited mode and vice versa during operation. The purpose of this paper is to give an analysis of a real-time study performed experimentally for both series and separately excited operation of DC motor. The DC motor initially started in series mode giving high torque at a constant load in the form of an inertia wheel as starting load. The motor is then switched to separately excited DC mode with the help of switches after attaining the required number of rpm or speed. High speed with sufficient torque and good controllability is observed in separately excited DC motor mode. Eventually, this system has been proven with experimental results and proposed for numerous applications, especially where high starting torque and less speed are required and after that, high speed is required. Analyzing results with the help of MATLAB previously, a hardware-based real-time operating system has been provided. This setup can be proposed for various applications such as battery-operated DC machines especially Electric Vehicles and off-road Electric Vehicles and Solar powered applications as well.
