“matanza” de 1932 en El Salvador
Authors: Molinari Lucrecia
Published: May 2023

La brutal represión de las fuerzas estatales a la rebelión de campesinos en la zona occidental de El Salvador en 1932 es conocida en dicho país como “la matanza”.  Los diversos relatos que alrededor de estos sucesos se tejieron, y la forma en que ciertas dinámicas fueron reactualizadas durante la Guerra Civil (1980-1992) exige repensar estos eventos, a la luz de nuevos debates, conceptos y problemáticas.

Partiendo del concepto “práctica social genocida”, acuñado por el sociólogo argentino Daniel Feierstein, y sus reflexiones sobre los efectos sociales de las representaciones sobre estos crímenes se presentarán, de modo introductorio, tres elementos cuyo análisis matiza y enriquece las lecturas sobre la represión de 1932. Se trata de 1) la participación de civiles en los cuerpos represivos (y sus efectos sobre el lazo social) que esta represión habilitó; 2) las matanzas masivas (masacres) que se instituyeron en ese momento y funcionarían, década después, como estrategia contrainsurgente en el ámbito rural y 3) los debates en torno a las distintas representaciones que circulan sobre los sucesos.

Published: May 2023

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have increased followed by complications including diabetic foot ulcer. Systemic inflammatory conditions in T2DM with diabetic foot ulcers can be assessed by inflammatory markers. Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) is a good indicator of systemic inflammatory conditions. A retrospective study of the medical record at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar from September 2019 – September 2021 involved 120 patients consisting of 60 patients for each group of T2DM with and without diabetic foot ulcers. Leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and NLR based on routine blood results using the flow cytometry method. Mann-Whitney test was used for comparison between the two groups on NLR and Kruskal-Wallist test was used for the relationship between NLR and Wagner classification. There was a significant difference in leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and NLR in T2DM patients with diabetic foot ulcers compared to those without 16.2±8.6 and 9.8±4.2 103/µL (p<0.001); 13.3±8.4 and 5.0±3.8 103/µL(p<0.001); 1.6±1.7 and 2.5±2.5 103/µL(p<0.001); 10.0±10.1 and 3.5±4.5, respectively. The relationship between the NLR and Wagner classification was the highest at Wagner grade 5 (12.87±5.0) and the lowest was at Wagner grade 2 (6.18±7.83) with significant statistical test results (p<0.037). There was increasing NLR in T2DM with diabetic foot ulcers due to systemic inflammation. The NLR integrates different immune pathways, such as neutrophils as an inflammatory response and lymphocytes controlling the inflammatory response. Lymphocytes count and NLR level on T2DM with diabetic foot ulcer were higher than those without diabetic foot ulcer.

Published: May 2023

Assessment of treatment response is needed in the management of iron deficiency anemia (IDA). This study aims to analyze erythrocyte indices (MCH, MCV, MCHC) and Ret-He as indicators of IDA diagnosis and treatment response. A prospective cohort study in children ages 2-18 years old in orphanages throughout Makassar. Grouped into normal group and therapy group, consisting of IDA and iron deficiency groups. Elemental iron therapy 3mg/kg/day was given. Levels of MCV (fl), MCH (pg), MCHC (g/dL), and Ret-He (pg) were measured before and on the 8th day of therapy. The normality test of numerical variable data used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The statistical test used the Mann-Whitney test, Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, and the Kruskal-Wallis test.  Diagnostic value and cut-off determination using ROC curve analysis. Test results were significant if p<0.05. The sample consisted of 40 subjects each in both normal and therapy groups. The therapy group was divided into 7 IDA and 33 iron deficiency. ROC IDA curve on MCV obtained a cut-off of 76 fl, a sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 95%, NPP of 77.8%, NPN of 100%, MCH obtained a cut-off of 25 pg, a sensitivity of 100%, 97.5% specificity of 97.5%, NPP of 87.5%, NPN of 100%, Ret-He obtained cut-off 29 pg, sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 95%, NPP of 77.5%, NPN of 100%. MCV levels increased by 7.3% (p<0.05) while Ret-He increased by 19.6% (p<0.05) after therapy. The ROC curve coordinate on IDA showed that cut-off levels of MCV 76 fl, MCH 25 pg, and Ret-He 29 pg provided optimal sensitivity and specificity. Increasing MCV after therapy described increasing levels in erythrocyte and hematocrit synthesis. Increasing Ret-He after therapy described improving erythropoiesis quality. MCV, MCH, and Ret-He as indicators of diagnosing IDA. MCV and Ret-He monitor the success of IDA treatment response.

COVID-19 is a disease caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and leads to various clinical manifestations. This condition can cause inflammation and cardiovascular disease that can result in increased Neutrophil-to-Monocyte Ratio (NMR), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), and D-dimer. The correlation between variables needs further investigation that can be a reference. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between NMR and CRP also NMR and D-dimer in COVID-19 patients with moderate dan severe illness. The research was an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design on 40 subjects.  Data were secondary data from COVID-19 patient’s medical records in RSND Semarang. This study was carried out from April to September 2021. Correlation analysis using the Spearman Rank test with p<0.05 was considered significant. The Mean of NMR, CRP, and D-dimer was 16.69±10.65, 113.94±70.42 mg/L, and 1.72±2.35 mg/L, respectively. There was a weak positive correlation between NMR and CRP (p=0.023 and r=0.358) and there was no correlation between NMR and D-dimer (p=0.638 and r=0.077). It was expected that this knowledge about the correlation between NMR and CRP and D-dimer can help healthcare providers in planning therapy and preventing complications that may occur due to CRP and D-dimer increase.

Published: May 2023

The laboratory test for Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is very important for initial treatment and predicting the prognosis of the patients, but there have been reports of false negative COVID-19 diagnostic test results. Another study reported changes in COVID-19 patient biomarkers, namely platelets count and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels. This study investigated the correlation between platelet count and CRP in COVID-19 patients. This study was conducted using a cross-sectional analytic observational method, through secondary data analysis of COVID-19 patients who hospitalized between June – August 2021 at Dr. Soebandi Hospital and Jember Klinik Hospital. Of 30 patients, there were 16 male patients (53%) and 14 female patients (47%); 18 patients in the 46-59 years old age group (60%) and 12 patients in â‰¤ 4 years old (40%) age group; and there were 8 patients admitted to ICU (26.67%). There was a negative correlation between platelet count and CRP in COVID-19 patients (r = -0.733; p<0.001). A strong correlation between platelet count and CRP is related to prognostic and predictive factors of severity in COVID-19 patients. Further studies about the analysis of other biomarkers in COVID-19 are needed to obtain more prognostic and predictive factors of severity in patient.

Climate changes are affecting the fate of Posidonia oceanica meadows. Actually, the Mediterranean Sea is threatened by abiotic, biotic and climate changes coupled with human pressures regarding coastal regions. In this way, Posidonia oceanica is able to counteract the effects of climate changes through the high thermotolerance of the species, range shift processes of the meadows and variations in the community composition of this valuable marine ecosystem. Anyway, the power of acclimatization to temperature shifts and the adaptative capacity of Posidonia oceanica meadows against human pressures let to suggest a positive trend in the long evolutionary pathway of the species.

Published: May 2023

Wood moisture content (MC) has a significant impact on all electrical properties of wood. Regarding the development of the (so-called polarization-type) wood moisture meter with the electrical charging effect for monitoring and controlling the wood drying process, it is of interest to expand the theoretical background of this type of novel wood moisture meter by means of modelling. Two mediums were selected for modelling – raw birch wood and, as a reference medium, birch liquid sap – into which two symmetrical carbon fibre measuring electrodes were inserted. In both mediums, direct current and alternating current were passed between electrodes at different electrode potentials. The electrical field and electrical response of the current-affected mediums were then measured and modelled in the time domain and frequency domain. The numerical results of modelling are comparable both in the time domain and frequency domain (i.e. if E = 1.8V, then Cs = 0.5 mF and C1,int = 0.7 mF). The concept of energetic chargeability (CHA(W)) of wood was defined and compared to conventional chargeability as defined by C. Schlumberger in 1913. Empirical dependencies of CHA(W) on electrode potential and primary energy W1 transmitted through the wood (sap) medium were found. In the frequency domain, frequency dependencies were found to distinguish between adsorption processes and mixed kinetics ranges in birch sap and in raw birch wood.

Berbagai studi melaporkan bahwa self-efficacy berkaitan dengan prestasi akademik mahasiswa. Tinjauan pustaka ini membahas konsep self-efficacy mulai dari definisi, kategori, aspek, peran, faktor yang mempengaruhi, hubungan antara self-efficacy dengan prestasi akademik dan alat ukur yang digunakan untuk menilai self-efficacy pada mahasiswa kedokteran gigi. Kata kunci yang digunakan dalam pencarian meliputi ‘self-efficacy’, ‘academic performance’, ‘dental student’ and ‘dentistry’ pada database NCBI, Sage Publication, Science Direct, PubMed, Google Scholar dan sumber terpercaya lainnya. Dari hasil penelurusan didapatkan bahwa hanya satu literatur dari Kolombia yang membahas hubungan self-efficacy dengan academic performance pada mahasiswa kedokteran gigi. Telusur literatur menunjukkan beberapa alat ukur yang dapat digunakan untuk menilai self-efficacy, yaitu General Self-Efficacy Scale, The Collage Academic Self-Efficacy Scale, The Academic Self-Efficacy, dan Collage Self-Efficacy Inventory. Alat ukur ini menjadi tolak ukur untuk mengetahui tinggi atau rendahnya self-efficacy seseorang. Mahasiswa dengan self-efficacy tinggi memiliki kemampuan dalam mengatur, melaksanakan, dan menyelesaikan masalah yang berkaitan dengan tugas belajar, serta berkeyakinan dapat menyelesaikan tugas dengan baik. Pengetahuan tentang tingkat self-efficacy mahasiswa dapat dijadikan sebagai prediktor terhadap keberhasilan akademik mahasiswa tersebut.

Relevance. The prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder ranges from 1 to 12 % among the general population and reaches 30 % among the population affected by various emergencies, which makes the PTSD problem ever more relevant considering the special military operation in Ukraine.Objectives. The aim is to study and describe the main clinical approaches to the treatment of PTSD.Methods. The clinical and bibliographic method were used to perform a comparative analysis of academic research papers published in 2008 to 2022.Results and discussion. Treatment of PTSD requires an interdisciplinary approach with a particular focus on individually specific psychotherapeutic methods, as well as administration of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) as antidepressants. We analyzed clinical and diagnostic aspects of combat PTSDs, their pathology, origin, treatment options and challenges for discussion. Currently, combat PTSDs are acquiring extra relevance.Conclusion. While trying to investigate the development of clinical PTSD manifestations, the focus is shifted from syndrome-associated parameters towards understanding PTSD as an integral disorder of psychogenic origin with polysyndromic and multisystemic characteristics.
La realidad de lo imaginario: El pentágono, una novela patafísica
Authors: Criach Sofía
Published: May 2023

This paper proposes a reading of El pentágono, by the Argentine writer Antonio Di Benedetto, from the dialogue with the French pataphysics and with the experimental forms that, since the mid-twentieth century, embraced Alfred Jarry’s proposal as a more experimental and playful variant of absurd, fruitful for contesting positivist concept of reality. Emphasizing imagination, compositional freedom, experimentalism, and language as the aim of fiction, we analyze how Di Benedetto draws upon antimetaphysical conjecture and the universe of the potential, typical of the pataphysicists, and OuLiPo’s contraintes, to create a literary object in which meaning plays an elusive role that invites misunderstanding and multiple interpretations. Finally, it concludes with the novelty that El pentágono supposed in its production context and the work’s restitution in the avantgarde novel panorama.
Subjetivación, percepción y simulacro en Laguna de Álvaro Bisama
Authors: Navarro Morales Marcelo
Published: May 2023

This article analyzes the gothic character of the novel Laguna (2018) by Álvaro Bisama. From the narratological analysis of the style and the literary images that make up this novel, I focus on three problems that its narrative plot develops: the confusion of the limits between the organic and inorganic, resulting from the subjection of the biological matter of living beings to economic flows; the problematization of visual reality and the hierarchical relationship between mind and body, caused by the collapse of the perception structure; and the rise of the simulacrum, capable of overthrowing the epistemological and subjective foundations.
Wittgenstein’s Language Game and Musical Language (of The Second Viennese School) – Meaning and Understanding
Authors: Lazarević Milica
Published: May 2023

The three fundamental and closely-related concepts from Wittgenstein’s late work Philosophical Investigation – the concept of language game, of meaning and of understanding – are exemined in this study in the context of the problematization of music as a musical language and a musical language/piece of music (used in the traditional European sense) as a musical-language game, as well as the questions of its meaning and understanding. In connection with this, the period of radical changes in the traditional tonal musical language in the compositions of The Second Viennese School turned out to be peculiarly provocative, hence, on this occasion, we are attempting to point out the specificities of the changes of a (musical) language built and upgraded through the centuries.
Rethinking the Institutional Theory of George Dickie: The Art Circles
Authors: Đorđević Marko
Published: May 2023

This paper initially revisits the institutional theory of George Dickie, which originated in relation to Arthur Danto’s “The Artworld” and the works of other analytic philosophers dealing with art theory at the time. This contextualization is followed by an attempt at finding possible relations and theoretical developments of Dickie’s work in theorists such as Howard S. Becker and Pierre Bourdieu. The aim is to find basic correlations and differences between Dickie’s theory, Becker’s symbolic interactionism and Bourdieu’s field theory. The final segment consists of linking the interpreted theoretical terms and summing up the possibilities that arise out of them for contemporary art theory.
Traumatic Sublime: Genealogy of the Term and Relation to Contemporary Art and Media
Authors: Jankov Sonja
Published: May 2023

Prolonging the concept in art theory related to Andy Warhol’s art, whose (photo)graphic series are characterized by “traumatic”, id est repetitive, operation of technique, Hal Foster introduces the term traumatic sublime to describe Bill Viola’s video works. The term relates not only to themes presented in the videos, but also to the media presenting them. Through his HD installation Ocean Without Shore at the 52nd Venice Biennale, Viola emphasised how important technical specifications of media are for his work, defining the colour saturation on the video with water curtains. This paper gives an overview of the technical evolution of Bill Viola’s works and of the term sublime, from Longinus, over Immanuel Kant, to Hal Foster and Jean-François Lyotard. It concludes that traumatic sublime can be related to several forms of new media art, not exclusively to Bill Viola’s work.
Educational Policies and the Labour Market in the Visual Arts – the Paradigm Shift
Authors: Glišić Jelena
Published: May 2023

This paper presents the key findings of an extensive research into the role of university-level visual art education in the preparation of visual artists for the successful transition from the academic environment to the art ‘labour market’. Starting from an assumption that higher visual arts education may be a significant factor in redefining the career paths of the visual arts graduates in Serbia, it reviews the recent changes in concepts and programs of university-level visual arts education in Europe and in Serbia. Education policies increasingly foresee the necessity of conscious compliance of education with society as a whole, bearing in mind the wide range of social roles that visual art and professionals from this field may assume. This is especially important for Serbia, since culture is considered one of the country’s most important assets in re-positioning itself on a mental map of Europe. In this paper I will map the main issues, briefly present the historical development of art school programs in Europe and in Serbia, and I will present the concept of the Management in Fine Arts course designed for the BA level at the Fine Art Schools which was designed to endow students with the opportunity to attain basic ‘labour market skills’, and provide them with knowledge and skills necessary to direct their professional development in such manner to enable them to easily find their place in various areas of contemporary society.

El pensamiento de Bolívar y la unidad hispanoamericana
Authors: Plazas Vega Luis Alfonso , Varon Reyes Oscar Flavio
Published: May 2023

Origen de su Ideal. La formación del pensamiento político del Libertador empieza en: el medio ambiente americano y europeo en que se educa, la injusticia social de la época, las enseñanzas de Simón Rodríguez, la gloria de Napoleón así como el aporte de otros personajes.
Expresiones máximas de su Política Internacional. En el manifiesto de Cartagena, la Carta de Jamaica, el primer congreso de Angostura y en la convocatoria del Congreso de Panamá, el Libertador expresa su pensamiento de Unidad Hispanoamericana.
Hispanoamericanismo de su ideario. Descartando la América Anglosajona inicialmente, la América Latina no española después, y la América Hispana que no fue libertada por su espada, se concreta geográficamente el ideario de Bolívar.
Su pensamiento Político Hispanoamericano. Analizando conceptos de sus biógrafos queda la duda del tipo de gobierno que Bolívar soñó, y se infiere, sin mucha certeza, que la Unidad por él propuesta era antes política que económica. Se agrega finalmente cómo sus concepciones hispanoamericanistas se proyectan hasta hoy.
Conclusiones. Se ha delimitado el ideal panamericano en el tiempo (1812-1826), en el espacio (seis países bolivaria- nos de hoy); surgen dudas sobre su objeto político y económico y se evidencia la proyección de su ideario en la OEA., y el Pacto Andino.

Published: May 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the formation and development of the Soviet system of maternity and childhood protection as one of the main elements of social security of the population in Kabardino-Balkaria. Of particular interest is the strengthening of the role of the state in the education of the younger generation, which pursued the goal of displacing the traditional way of life in order to accelerate the involvement of women in production and replenish the number of working people. The purpose of the article is to study a set of archival documents, first introduced into scientific circulation, reflecting the inclusion of women in the Soviet socio-political and economic space. The work is based on the principles of analysis and synthesis, reliability, objectivity, the methodological basis of the study is the historical and genetic method. On the basis of archival materials, it is shown how the development of the law enforcement practice of the new Soviet family legislation was carried out. The scientific novelty of this study is represented by the representation, on the basis of factual material that began in the 1920s and 1930s, of the process of creating a network of preschool institutions, kindergartens and playgrounds designed not only for the more successful socialization of children within the framework of state ideology, but also equally necessary to free women's time for socially useful work. It has been proven that the removal of part of the educational functions from the management of the family and the transfer of them to the state made it possible to prepare personal space for a woman for self-realization in the socio-professional sphere.

It is extremely important to form and develop conflict competence in labor collectives, because frequent workforce conflict situations and situations of tension between employees can affect the efficiency and productivity of people's work. The problem of conflicts in labor collectives is quite common and requires the development of certain methods of conflict resolution, however, a person can prevent a conflict himself if he has the appropriate competencies, shows his own creative powers, humor, becomes more observant, resourceful. The purpose of this work is to test the developed psychological program for conflict management in the workforce. The object of the study is conflicts in the labor collective. The subject of the study is conflict management in the workforce.   After testing the conflict management program in the experimental group, the number of respondents choosing the "confrontation" style of behavior in conflict decreased, the number of respondents using "compromise" increased slightly. The remaining scales: "evasion", "adaptation", "cooperation" remained unchanged. According to the "self-control" scale, as a result of comparing the data before and after the study, there are no significant differences in the indicators of the experimental group. In the control group, according to the results of two methods, there are no significant changes in any of the diagnosed parameters. Thus, the psychological program developed and tested by us on conflict management in the workforce partially influenced the change in the style of behavior of employees who chose a confrontational style of behavior in conflict to a compromise, and also allowed to increase the level of self-regulation in some employees.
Hybrid solar, wind, and energy storage system for a sustainable campus: A simulation study
Authors: Muller Dario Cyril , Selvanathan Shanmuga Priya , Cuce Erdem , Kumarasamy Sudhakar
Published: May 2023

The reliance on grid electricity generated from fossil fuels in many countries continues to contribute to annual CO2 emissions. Implementing renewable energy systems helps reduce the carbon footprint and enhances local grid stability, particularly in areas with high demand where power outages are frequent. This study used the Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER) software to determine the most cost-effective composition of a Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES). Simulation results indicate that a system comprising a 3007 PV array, two 1.5 MW wind turbines, and a 1927 kW converter is most suitable. Combining solar panels and wind turbines remains the most economically feasible option for on-site electricity production. The study demonstrates that installing a hybrid renewable energy system is viable on an academic campus, with an initial investment cost of US $6.58 million and yearly operational costs of US $1.38 million, which is 40.8% lower than the current system. The project payback time is estimated to be 10.11 years. These findings may be used to recommend similar systems in other regions with comparable climatic conditions. The positive monetary effects may incentivize policymakers to implement comparable systems, contributing to a carbon-neutral goal.

Authors: Fatima Ghizal
Published: May 2023

Objectives:

This study aims to provide major insight in 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), which will describe the 24 h (Circadian rhythm) blood pressure (BP) profile by measuring its impact on the sleep quality.

Materials and Methods:

For the study, 25 men and 25 women were recruited. Sleep quality was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Index. Using wrist actigraphy, sleep-quality was assessed during seven working non-ABPM days (starting point) and the three following 24-h ABPM days.

Results:

During the day, the average AMP was 139.2 10.9/83.4 8.6 mm Hg, while at night, it was 118.9 12.9/68.5 9.7 mm Hg. There were 40 dipper and 10 non-dipper, respectively, on the standard of a systolic BP dip of <10%. Time had no bearing on total sleep time or sleep efficiency between ABPM days and non-ABPM days, indicating that ABPM has no negative effects on sleep quality.

Conclusion:

Both male and female having untreated hypertension were found to have disrupted sleep quality. Importantly, it is now evident that the ABPM has a negative impact on sleep quality for either dippers or non-dippers.

Authors: Silk Jeremy , Taupin Philippe
Published: May 2023

Introduction. Soft tissue defects in medically compromised patients present significant challenges to the reconstructive surgeon, particularly when vital structures are exposed. This case series reports clinical outcomes of 5 adult patients with challenging medical problems whose wounds were managed using a meshed collagen-chondroitin silicone bilayer matrix to obtain coverage over bone and tendon. Materials and Methods. Patient 1 had significant degloving of the scalp. Patient 2, who had a giant neglected tumor, had a defect comprising the entire occipital skull. Patients 3 and 4 had necrotizing infection in a lower extremity open wound and a pretibial wound (patient 3). Patient 5 sustained a severe crush injury of his forearm and had a large open wound. All the wounds had exposed structures. Results. The incorporation rate of the dermal matrix in the wound bed was 100% in patients 1 and 5, 75% in patient 2, and 90% in patients 3 and 4. Patients 2 and 4 received a second application of dermal matrix to obtain full coverage of the wounds. Each patient achieved stable soft tissue coverage and successful reconstruction. Conclusions. These 5 cases highlight the capacity and capability of this dermal matrix to allow coverage over exposed bone and tendon, as well as the clinical utility of the serial application of this matrix.

Introduction. Delayed and incomplete healing of the skin graft at the donor site of an LD flap is common because of seroma formation. The authors aimed to evaluate whether the application of an NPD could improve the healing process after STSG at LD donor sites. Materials and Methods. From July 2019 to September 2021, 32 patients underwent STSG with NPD at the LD donor site, and 27 patients underwent STSG with TBDs. Data were collected and analyzed using the chi-square test, t test, and Spearman correlation test. Results. The overall Spearman correlations of graft loss with seroma, hematoma, and infection were 0.56 (P <.01), 0.64 (P <.01), and 0.70 (P <.01), respectively. Compared with the TBD group, the STSG take rate was significantly higher in the NPD group (90.3% vs 84.5%, P =.046) while the seroma rate (18.8% vs 44.4%, P =.033), graft loss (9.4% vs 29.6%, P =.047), and mean length of stay (10.9 ± 1.8 vs 12.1 ± 2.4, P =.037) were significantly lower. Conclusions. NPDs for STSG at the LD donor site contribute significantly to improved graft acceptance with reduced seroma formation.

In silico Analysis of Phytochemicals for Identifying Novel Hub Genes against Prostate Cancer
Authors: Prakash Nayana
Published: May 2023

The third most common cause of death worldwide is prostate cancer. There is a significant need for novel anticancer drugs with minimal side effects. Spices are one of the promising sources which can be effectively utilized to treat cancer ailments. According to traditional Chinese medicines, piperine has a wide range of pharmacological effects including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and immune-regulating properties. Some phytochemicals are recommended for lowering the risk of prostate cancer in particular. Piperine is the primary active ingredient of Piper nigrum. The present study explored the possible mechanism of piperine in prostate cancer by employing a network pharmacological method. The chemical characteristics and bioactivity score of a molecule are calculated using Molinspiration. The pharmacokinetic properties of the phytochemicals were examined and estimated by PreADMET. The findings indicated that piperine has a high potential for therapeutic action due to its high bioactivity, flexibility and permeability. The targets of piperine were retrieved using PubChem, Stitch, Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD), CHEMBL database and literature analysis. The Metascape database was used to evaluate the enriched KEGG pathway and GO (gene ontology) annotation. Based on molecular interactions, SP1, RELA, NFKB1, TP53, STAT3 and JUN, genes are identified to be the main targets linked to cancer. These top 6 genes may be recognized as key cancer inhibitors and potential targets of piperine to prevent prostate cancer.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the major causative organism for tuberculosis. It is one of the major causes of death worldwide. Every year the world shows around 9 million new TB cases. Moreover, every year around 2 million people die because of this pathogen. On the top of that, it is being predicted that around 2 billion people are infected with latent TB worldwide. The progression of this disease is much dependent on the host immunological constitution. During active infection, the bacteria present in the body replicate very fast which cannot be controlled by the immune cell present in the body. This makes a person sick. Sometimes, this scenario arrives as soon as a person gets infected with the bacterium. This indicates that person’s immune systems are not strong enough to protect. Moreover, there are a couple of other diseases like HIV, T2DM found to have a song association with TB, weakening our immune systems. The hosts that suffer with different disease are known as immunocompromised. They are at higher risk than other hosts. So, it is important to understand the host’s genetic makeup to understand the progression of the bacteria. In this study, we focused on the host centric approach and screened 171 genes with 335 location having 2135 number of variants from 100 Indian patient samples. We have identified two genes CYP4B1 and GMPPB having 3’UTR mutation which might be related to immunocompromised host. We have identified three novel missense mutations in ANKK1, GPR55 and TXNDR2 genes which might also play a significant role in TB infection.
Green emissive Carbon quantum dots produced from Plantago Psyllium by thermal carbonization as heterogenous catalyst
Authors: Fairlin Jenitha R. , Sudhaparimala S.
Published: May 2023

The water retention and metal ion binding efficiency of Plantago Psyllium hemicellulose has been well explored. But there are no reports available on its conversion to carbon quantum dots (CQDs) for potential applications. This study is focused on the correlation of the microstructural features of CQDs with its catalytic and emission properties. The green synthesis of CQDs was explored using hemicellulose rich Plantago psyllium as precursor by a one-step thermal carbonization approach. The functional groups, microstructure, surface and the morphological analysis of CQDs indicate the formation of zero-dimensional carbon material with predominately sp2 carbon framework with oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The characterization reports of the carbonized psyllium husk showed that the hemicellulose rich biomass was converted into luminescent CQDs. The CQDs exhibited green emission under the UV lamp. The experimental results of the adsorption study indicate that the CQDs derived from hemicellulose can act as good adsorbent for the removal of Xanthene-based dye. The obtained results promise the effective conversion of biomass and potential application of CQDs as adsorption catalyst for the efficient and economic removal of cationic dyes in waste water.
