Authors:   School of Pharmacy, Kampala International University, Ishaka, Uganda, Ismail Ntale
Published: May 2024

The rise of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens poses a significant challenge in wound management. In this study, we investigated the phytochemical constituents and antibacterial properties of unripe fruit extracts of Carica papaya on bacterial isolates from wounds. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of phenols, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, terpenoids, reducing sugars, and cardiac glycosides in both aqueous and 50% ethanolic extracts. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing demonstrated significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Protues vulgaris, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Escherichia coli, with aqueous extract exhibiting greater inhibition than the ethanolic counterpart. However, no activity was observed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These findings underscore the potential of Carica papaya extracts in combating opportunistic infections in wound management.

Published: May 2024

Has wealth gone digital? Both critics and cheerleaders of capitalism claim it has. The critics see non-material wealth as a problem. Digital wealth, they say, is  fictitious  . It’s lost touch with reality. The cheerleaders of capitalism see the same thing as a boon. Non-material wealth, they say, will decouple the economy from physical constraints. So the economy can grow forever! Which side is right? Neither, in my opinion.

Published: May 2024

Background: Obstructive jaundice is among the most challenging conditions managed by general surgeons and significantly contributes to high morbidity and mortality.
Objectives: This study evaluated the short-term outcomes of surgical treatment for benign obstructive jaundice.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted prospectively at Al-Thawra Modern General Hospital between January 2019 and December 2021, including all patients with benign obstructive jaundice who underwent open surgical treatment.
Results: The study included 36 patients with a median age of 55 years, and female predominance (63.9%) compared with male predominance (36.1%). The most common preoperative diagnosis was common bile duct stones (66.7%), followed by postcholecystectomy biliary strictures (25%). Abdominal pain (91.7%) and jaundice (83.3%) were the most frequent symptoms. Twenty-four patients with CBD stones underwent cholecystectomy with CBD exploration with either T-tube drainage (17 patients) or choledochoduodenostomy drainage (5 patients), and only two patients underwent cholecystostomy tube drainage. However, all 9 patients with postcholecystectomy biliary strictures underwent hepaticoenterostomy drainage procedures. Postoperatively, the median length of hospital stay was 6.33 (2-15) days, and direct bilirubin levels decreased in most patients by the 7th day (88.9%). Wound infection (27.8%), mild pulmonary complications (19.4%), and moderate pulmonary complications requiring ICU admission (13.9%) were the most common complications. No mortality was recorded. Conclusions: Open surgical treatment of benign obstructive jaundice is safe and effective because improved abdominal pain, subsidence of obstructive jaundice features, and postoperative bilirubin level drop were observed in almost all patients. Wound infection and pulmonary complications were the most common complications. Common bile duct stones were the leading cause of this condition, and female preponderance was observed. Future studies should focus on optimizing the management of these patients, including minimizing postoperative complications such as wound infections.

A long-term field experiment was conducted at Chiplima, Odisha, under irrigated medium land condition during 2006–07 to 2012–13, to evaluate the production potential and economics of 10 rice (Oryza sativa L.)-based crop ping systems. Rice–maize (Zea mays L.)–cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] and rice–groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)–bottle gourd [Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl.] cropping systems recorded significantly higher average rice equivalent yield (19.55 and 18.57 t/ha, respectively) than the other systems evaluated, the relative production efficiency being 85.8 and 76.5% over the rice–groundnut system. Rice-based 3-cropping systems hav ing groundnut as winter (rabi) crop had higher land-use efficiency (83%). Rice–maize–cowpea recorded the high est irrigation water-use efficiency (230 kg REY/ha), whereas rice–groundnut–bottle gourd recorded the highest ap parent nutrient use efficiency (60.8 kg REY/kg NPK applied). Rice–maize–cowpea also recorded the highest en ergy-use efficiency (5.89), energy-output efficiency (1,240 MJ/ha/day) and energy productivity (0.34 kg REY/MJ). Rice–maize–cowpea had the highest employment generation efficiency (124.7%), followed by rice–groundnut bottle gourd (120.5%) and rice–groundnut–cowpea (120.0%). Rice–maize–cowpea gave the highest net returns of 135,087/ha, followed by rice–groundnut–bottle gourd system ( 111,777/ha). Rice–maize–cowpea system showed the highest system profitability ( 370/ha/day) and crop profitability ( 500/ha/day). This system also gave the highest benefit: cost ratio (2.56), with highest relative production efficiency (85.8%) and relative economic effi ciency (168.5%) compared to rice–groundnut system.

Published: May 2024

A field experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) season of 2016 at Palampur, Himachal Pradesh, to evaluate the optimum dose of fertilizers and seed rates of ‘HIMSO 1685’ of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design, comprising 2 genotypes (‘HIMSO 1685’ and ‘Harasoya’) and 2 seed rates (75 and 100 kg/ha) in main-plots and 4 fertility levels [0, 75, 100 and 125% of recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF)] in sub-plots. The soil of experimental site was silty clay loam, acidic, low in available nitrogen, and medium in available phosphorus and potassium. The highest values of primary branches/plant, number of pods/plant and 1,000-seed weight were recorded in ‘HIMSO 1685’ and at 100% RDF. Significantly higher yields, productivity, gross and net returns, benefit: cost and profitability were recorded in ‘HIMSO 1685’ sown with 75 kg/ha seed rate and at 100% RDF. The treatment, 100% of recommended dose of fertilizer and 75 kg seed/ha were found to be the best agronomic practices for obtaining higher productivity and profitability of ‘HIMSO 1685’ soybean under mid-hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh.

An experiment was conducted during 2011–12 and 2012–13 at Navsari, Gujarat to study the effect of different proportion of organics on productivity of pit planted sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) under organic farming system. The experiment was laid out in ramdomized block design with 3 replications comprising 8 organic treatments and 1 inorganic treatment as control (250:125:125 kg NPK/ha). Significantly higher plant height (399.7 cm), millable canes (129.8 t/ha), cane height (298.2 cm), and single cane weight (1.54 kg) were recorded with 50% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) through vermicompost and 50% RDN through castor cake. However, application of nitrogen through vermicompost (50% RDN) along with either castor cake or neem cake (50% RDN) were found equally effective and recorded significantly higher millable cane (129.8 and 128.2 t/ha respectively) and trash yield (23.2 and 22.7 t/ha respectively). In organic vs inorganic-(control) analysis, application of 100% RDF through inorganic fertilizers recorded significantly higher values of growth and yield parameters, and yield of sugarcane crop. Hence for producing higher and profitable cane yield of sugarcane, the crop should be fertilized with 100% RDF (250:125:125 NPK kg/ha) under south Gujarat conditions. Further, for organic production of sugarcane crop, application of 50% RDN through vermicompost and remaining 50% RDN either through castor cake or neem cake was found remunerative.

Published: May 2024

An experiment was carried out during 3 consecutive cropping seasons of 2013–14, 2014–15, and 2015–16 at Bethuadahari, Nadia, West Bengal to evaluate the effect of organic manure and biofertilizers in combination with inorganic fertilizer as the source of nitrogen (N) on growth, yield attributes, cane yield, juice quality, leaf nutrient and chlorophyll content, and soil health after harvesting of sugarcane (Saccharum spp. Hybrid complex) (cv. CoB 94164). The experiment consist of 7 treatments, viz. T1 , control; T2 , 100% recommended dose of N through inorganic; T3 , 75% recommended dose of N through inorganic + 25% recommended dose of N through FYM; T4 , 50% recommended dose of N through inorganic + 50% recommended dose of N through FYM; T5 , T3 + Azotobacter; T6 , T3 + Azospirillum; T7 , T3 + Azotobacter + Azospirillum, respectively in a randomized block design (RBD) with 3 replications. The results revealed that, application of N through organic manure and biofertilizer along with chemical fertilizer increased growth characters, viz. leaf-area index (LAI), total dry matter (TDM), chlorophyll content and N, P, K and S concentration in leaf tissues as compared to inorganic fertilizer alone. The maximum cane yield (86.10 t/ha) and sucrose content (17.52%) were recorded under the treatment T7 (75% recommended dose of N through inorganic + 25% recommended dose of N through FYM + Azotobacter + Azospirillum). Cane yield exhibited significant positive correlation with different growth and yield attributes as well as with juice quality and vice-versa. The organic carbon, available N, P2 O5 and K2 O contents of soil increased slightly after harvest of the crop due to the incorporation of organic manures and biofertilizers in soils initially. Thus, 25% of the recommended dose of nitrogen through inorganic sources could be replaced by FYM and biofertilizers for obtaining higher sugarcane yield along with improvement of soil health status.

Published: May 2024

Agriculture in India is facing several challenges which together are manifested into the sustainability issues. The broad contours of the agricultural production system in the country have been defined by the need to achieve food security which calls for close attention to rice–wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping system of the Indo Gangetic Plains (IGP) whose sustainability is under threat. Degradation of natural resources, severe biotic and abi otic stresses specially drought, floods, pest infestations with accompanying impacts on biodiversity and agricultural productivity are the major constraints to agricultural development. Further, climate change has gained significant global attention over the past decade due to concerns of deleterious long-term impacts on agriculture, water sup ply, human welfare, regional and political stability. All the related issues need to be addressed on priority, with par ticular emphasis on soil-carbon through a holistic approach. As the strategy brings focus on income of farmers, the agricultural technology needs to move from “Production oriented-Green Revolution” to “Farmer’s Income oriented Revolution” and environmentally sustainable farming. Therefore, for long-term sustainability in agriculture, 4 pil lars/ components (good agricultural practices, climate-change mitigation and adaptation, diversification of high value crops and biodiversity management) needs to be addressed properly, more importantly good agricultural practices (GAP). The GAPs are based on the principles of risk prevention, risk analysis, sustainable agriculture, and integrated crop management (ICM), which are of utmost importance in present time. The GAPs for agricultural sustainability are reduced tillage, conservation agriculture, resource-conservation technologies (RCTs), erosion control measures, diversified cropping system, micro-irrigation, balanced fertilization, manuring, watershed man agement, organic farming, and integrated farming systems etc. Now that the vision is to impart income security to the farmers of the country, diversification of the system across all the sub-sectors of agriculture assumes impor tance which is, indeed a de-risking mechanism capable of negotiating both endogenous and exogenous risks as sociated with the system. The effective and efficient management of agro-biodiversity is also essential through management of genebanks, science-led innovations; livelihood, food and nutrition security though crop diversifica tion, use of lesser-known crops and wild relatives in crop improvement; dealing appropriately with quarantine, bio safety and bio-security.

Authors: BALWINDER SINGH DHILLON  , R.S. UPPAL
Published: May 2024

An experiment was carried out during the winter season of 2015–16 and 2016–17 at Ludhiana, Punjab, to study the performance of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) as influenced by sowing time and different cutting-management practices. Crop sown on 15 October had the maximum plant height, dry-matter accumulation and tiller density throughout the life span of crop as compared to the other 2 sowing dates i.e. 30 October and 15 November. This date also resulted in significantly higher grain yield and fodder yield than the other 2 sowing dates. Fodder cutting at 50 days after sowing (DAS) provided at par grain yield with no-cutting treatment during both the years. Though fodder cutting at 60 DAS resulted in more green fodder (40.5 to 41.8%) than 50 DAS, significant reduction in grain yield (20.6–22.7%) was recorded in both the years. Economically, crop sown on 15 October produced significantly higher gross returns, net returns and benefit: cost (B: C) ratio than the other 2 sowing dates. However, fodder cut at 60 DAS + N15 gave significantly higher gross returns, net returns and benefit: cost ratio as compared to the other treatments.

The disease was allotted a zoonotic origin and the spillover event is associated with Huanan Wholesale Seafood Market in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID- 19 as an international public-health emergency concern. In India, the index case was reported on 30th January in the district of Thrissur, state of Kerala and by 25th March 2020, the country was lockdown.  This research aims to analyze the viral phylogenetic and phylodynamics of strains from Pune, Maharashtra, followed by a comparison against real time data and an analysis of the potency of government prevention strategies. Publicly available SARS-CoV-2 sequences, specific to Pune, Maharashtra, were downloaded from GISAID during the time frame of the epidemics. Phylogenetic analysis of the sequences, including Maximum Likelihood trees and the nucleotide substitution model, were done using IQ-TREE software. Phylodynamic tools available as part of the BEAST2 software was used to estimate the evolution of R number through time. GTR+F+I was found to be the best-fit nucleotide substitution model for the data acquired. ML trees constructed reported a log likelihood of 44842.9931. Analysis of trace estimates reported R number with an average of 1, indicating transmission of virus. The data contains controversial elements which can only be clarified upon further sequencing of the SARS- CoV-2 strains, however, the results obtained are parallel to real time statistics.

Published: May 2024

Different machining methods result in diverse morphologies on the surface of gears. Under mixed lubrication, the friction and contact behavior of the real morphology interface becomes more complex. This study aims to analyze the influence of different process tooth surface micro-morphologies on the lubrication performance of the meshing area of double circular arc gears. Focusing on elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) characteristics of the double circular arc gears as the research object, the study involved measuring the three-dimensional morphology of the meshing position of the double circular arc gears. Non-Gaussian simulation technology was then used to characterize the micromorphology of the tooth surface resulting from different processes (i.e. hobbing process and skiving process). The tooth surface suction speed was determined based on the meshing characteristics of double circular arc gears. Based on the theory of point contact EHL, Reynolds equation and film thickness equation considering micromorphology were derived, and numerical solutions were obtained using the multi-grid method. A point contact EHL model for double circular arc gears was established considering the micromorphology of tooth surfaces in different processes. Results show that, the oil film pressure is positively correlated with rotational speed and torque. The oil film thickness is positively correlated with rotational speed, and negatively correlated with input torque. The negative of micro-morphology on the tooth surface on the lubrication performance could lead to an increase in pressure fluctuations and the absence of the second pressure peak. The uneven distribution of oil film and the lager roughness value could result in obvious fluctuations. The lubrication performance of the contact area in the gear hobbing process is superior to that in the gear skiving process. This study lays the foundation for further exploring the coupling characteristics between the double circular arc gear transmission system and elastic fluid dynamic lubrication.

A anquilose dentária é uma condição na qual um dente se fusiona ao osso alveolar, perdendo a capacidade de movimentação normal. Geralmente resulta de lesões durante a formação dentária, levando à união indevida. Em dentes decíduos, também conhecidos como “dentes de leite”, a anquilose é menos comum quando em comparação aos dentes permanentes. No entanto, essa fusão precoce pode causar problemas no desenvolvimento da oclusão e na erupção adequada dos dentes permanentes, exigindo monitoramento odontopediátrico para um diagnóstico precoce e intervenção quando necessário. Diante disso, o presente artigo científico tem por finalidade discorrer acerca da anquilose dentária em dentes decíduos, buscando analisar os tratamentos mais indicados e eficazes para o tratamento da respectiva condição. Para tanto, é de suma importância apresentar a definição e classificação da anquilose dentária, descrever os fatores etiológicos, pontuar o diagnóstico clínico e radiográfico, e abordar as suas consequências. A escolha dessa temática se justifica pela importância de fornecer subsídios teóricos e práticos aos profissionais da odontologia, visando aprimorar a abordagem clínica diante dessa condição específica, proporcionando uma base sólida para a tomada de decisões terapêuticas embasadas em evidências científicas. Quanto à metodologia utilizada, o estudo consiste em uma pesquisa qualitativa, fundamentada no método de abordagem descritivo, além de propor uma revisão integrativa da literatura.

Observam-se inúmeros problemas frente aos trabalhadores rurais quanto à dificuldade de angariar meios documentais de comprovação da sua condição de trabalho com frequência, haja vista se tratar de atividade de cunho menos formal. À vista disso, essa pesquisa objetiva abordar as principais dificuldades que o trabalhador rural encontra para conseguir reunir provas da atividade rural que fora desempenhada utilizando-se de documentos contemporâneos. Busca-se evidenciar as causas de dificuldades encontradas, frente a produção das provas materiais requisitadas, investigar as barreiras administrativas e burocráticas que podem dificultar a obtenção e apresentação de documentação válida. Na metodologia, tratou-se de uma revisão bibliográfica, baseada em leis, doutrinas, livros e periódicos, no período de 2018 a 2023. Nos resultados encontrados, ficaram claro que os principais obstáculos enfrentados pelos trabalhadores rurais na busca pela concessão da aposentadoria rural são a falta de documentos formais para a comprovação, pois a maioria não possui registro em carteira de trabalho, dificuldades de acesso a serviços públicos, a informalidade, desconhecimento dos direitos previdenciários e migração sazonal. Entretanto, há um movimento de ampliação dos meios de provas na jurisprudência, doutrina e na legislação nacional que tendem a auxiliar na concessão da aposentadoria rural para essa classe de trabalhadores.

Em 2019, surgiu o Pacote Anticrime, cuja finalidade era o aperfeiçoamento da legislação penal e processual penal, modificando o artigo 9-A da Lei de Execução Penal (LEP). Ademais, o artigo 9-A da LEP já tinha sofrido alteração e regulamentação sobre a compulsoriedade da realização de exame que recolhe ácido desoxirribonucleico (DNA) com a Lei nº 12.654/2012, mas só em 2019, chegou à redação contemporânea. Mesmo com as mudanças na LEP, ainda existe um questionamento da (in)constitucionalidade do artigo 9-A da Lei nº 7.210/84. Analisando os princípios da presunção de inocência e não autoincriminação, o nemo tenetur se detegere, nasce a imediata problemática: É constitucional a identificação de perfil genético, pela remoção de DNA de forma obrigatória, previsto no artigo 9-A da Lei de Execução Penal segundo os princípios da presunção de inocência e não autoincriminação? Dessa forma, o presente estudo, tem por objetivo geral averiguar a (in)constitucionalidade do artigo 9-A da Lei nº 7.210/1984, baseado nos princípios do nemo tenetur se detegere, qual seja, a garantia de não autoincriminasse, se remetendo, aos princípios da presunção de inocência e não autoincriminação, utilizando os referidos norteadores jurídicos, como justificativa. A metodologia se direcionou a uma perspectiva qualitativa e em pesquisas bibliográficas concretizadas em artigos e doutrinas. Concluindo-se que há uma enorme discussão sobre (in)constitucionalidade do diploma legal, se pendendo para uma ilegalidade, resultando em consequências jurídicas e violações constitucionais.

Entre la Enfermedad Mental y el Enfermo Mental
Authors: Arboleda Sánchez Viviana Andrea
Published: May 2024

La enfermedad mental ha sido transversal a la historia de la humanidad, generándose diferentes entendimientos sobre lo normal y lo anormal. Los significados sobre qué es estar mentalmente enfermo han demostrado una estrecha relación con el contexto histórico, así como con las actitudes, representaciones sociales y creencias de las diferentes civilizaciones a través de los siglos. Este artículo ubica a la persona en el centro del debate, presentando una revisión histórica sobre la enfermedad mental a partir de tres modelos: demonológico, teocéntrico y naturalista. Se observa que, pese a las diferencias significativas entre estos modelos, los tres convergen en un aspecto: han hecho énfasis en la explicación de la enfermedad, pero poco en la comprensión del enfermo. Se identifica un patrón donde se le otorga más importancia al modelo vigente que a la experiencia subjetiva de la persona, trascendiendo el plano de la enfermedad y ubicándose en el terreno del dolor y el sufrimiento. Finalmente, se puntualiza en la importancia de integrar la voz de la ciencia y sus aportes provenientes del modelo naturalista con la experiencia de primera persona del enfermo, de cara a generar procesos de intervención más integradores.

El objetivo de esta investigación es identificar el Impacto Económico y la relación con el régimen RIMPE de los contribuyentes de Manta (2018 al 2022), a través, aplicando una encuesta a una muestra finita, de seis sociedades obligadas a llevar contabilidad bajo el régimen RIMPE, dedicados a la actividad de pesca de altura y costera, esta se hizo, a través, de indicadores financieros principalmente de la rentabilidad económica, financiera y el capital de trabajo. El método utilizado en esta investigación fue apegado al paradigma positivista, esto es un enfoque cuantitativo y analítico, alcanzando un nivel descriptivo. La técnica aplicada a estos emprendedores fue validada por expertos; se utilizó el programa SPSS licencia Uleam. Como resultados se verificó que los indicadores financieros aplicados son importantes, sin embargo, se evidenció que no son utilizados, ya que la mayoría de las micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas (MIPYMES) a pesar de ser sociedades, toman decisiones sobre la base de la experiencia y el empirismo; también, se determinó en sus estados financieros la quiebra operativa de algunas, lo que repercutió también en la economía del país. Así mismo, la inconformidad sobre la vigencia del régimen RIMPE, la forma de cálculo y base imponible, porque afectó a la liquidez, creó una reducción del capital de trabajo y bajó la rentabilidad económica y financiera. Se concluyó que el régimen RIMPE ha impactado negativamente en la economía de estos contribuyentes, en su producción, capital de trabajo y liquidez de los sujetos tributarios.

Authors: Obiozor AA  , Obiozor AC
Published: May 2024

Background: Amoebic liver abscess (ALA) is a parasitic infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica. ALA is a significant health concern, particularly in regions with poor sanitation and hygiene practices. Radiological imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of ALA.
Methods: We present a case report of a 40-year-old male patient with ALA. The patient presented to a radio diagnostic centre in Umuahia with right upper quadrant abdominal pain, fever,diarrhea and weight loss. Radiological evaluation was performed using abdominal ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT scan. The imaging findings were correlated with clinical presentation and laboratory investigations.
Results: The radiological findings revealed a focal hypoechoic lesion in the right hepatic lobe with ill-defined margins and internal echoes suggestive of liquefaction. The contrast-enhanced CT scan confirmed the presence of a well-defined, hypodense lesion with peripheral enhancement and central hypoattenuation. No evidence of biliary ductal dilatation or vascular invasion was observed. Based on the findings, a diagnosis of ALA was made, and the patient was initiated on intravenous metronidazole therapy. Follow-up imaging demonstrated a decrease in abscess size and resolution of internal echoes, indicating a positive response to treatment.
Conclusion: Radiological imaging, including ultrasound and CT scan, plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of ALA. The characteristic imaging findings, such as hypoechoic lesions with internal echoes and peripheral enhancement with central hypoattenuation, aid in differentiating ALA from other hepatic lesions. Early diagnosis and prompt initiation of appropriate therapy are crucial for favorable patient outcomes. Radiological follow-up allows monitoring of treatment response and guides further management decisions.
