Analysis of Current Tests for Assessing Dance Aesthetic Performance
Authors: Fischer Clara , Fagundes Andersen Gracio , Poton Roberto
Published: July 2022

Dance has artistry and expression as its primary performance goals. In contrast with sports, measuring dancers' proficiency in the art form involves a subjective aesthetic component, rather more challenging to quantify and score. Qualitative measurement tools for assessing dance aesthetic performance have been previously proposed. This systematic review aims to examine the different test protocols that assessed aesthetic performance in modern or ballet dancers at vocational or professional levels in order to discuss methodological approaches for future development and application of dance aesthetic performance tools. The investigation followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines Eight studies met the inclusion criteria. Quality of evidence was moderate and methodological limitations in protocols were found. Accounting for genre-specificity and assessing for reliability, specificity and sensibility could further develop dance aesthetic tools in future studies.
A Cost-Optimized Data Parallel Task Scheduling in Multi-Core Resources Under Deadline and Budget Constraints
Authors: Krishnan Saravanan , N. R. Rajalakshmi
Published: July 2022

Large-scale distributed systems have advantages of high processing speeds and large communication bandwidths over the network. The processing of huge real-world data through distributed computing system becomes obscure because the major concern in large-scale distributed systems is to guarantee the completion of data processing task to be done within a budget and time constraints. This paper proposes a cost-optimized data parallel task scheduling in multi-core resources to address the above issue. By running concurrent executions on a multi-core resource, the number of parallel executions could be increased correspondingly, thereby it is able to finish the task within the deadline. A model is developed here to optimize the operational cost of data parallel task by feasibly assigning load fractions to each multi-core resource. This work experimented with data parallel task. The outcome of the work gives better solutions in terms of processing task by deadline at optimised computational cost.
Exploring Student Engagement With Computer-Mediated Peer Feedback on L2 Writing
Authors: Ma Maggie
Published: July 2022

From a sociocultural perspective, this case study explored two intermediate-level Chinese university EFL students’ multi-dimensional engagement with asynchronous computer-mediated mode of peer feedback. Data sources included student drafts, peer feedback, think-aloud protocols, stimulated recall, and semi-structured interviews. The two students displayed different responses to asynchronous computer-mediated peer feedback with different foci when engaging with it affectively, cognitively, and behaviorally. In particular, their cognitive engagement was characterized by noticing and interpretation, evaluation, and decision-making. The two student writers’ engagement was not just related to the computer-mediated mode of peer feedback, but also to their motives and roles adopted in the activity of engaging with peer feedback, both of which may be influenced by the community (i.e., the classroom instructional context), its rule (i.e., word limit), and the division of labour in the community (i.e., the role adopted by student reviewer). Pedagogical implications are discussed.
Cinco-Based Approach for Agent Petri Net Models
Authors: Dembri Amel , Redjimi Mohammed
Published: July 2022

In this paper, a simplified simulation approach of the Agent Petri Nets (APN) model is proposed to facilitate and accelerate the development and evaluation of system models. The main idea is to apply the new trends of model-driven approach to the design of specific tools and provide facilities to evaluate quickly the developed system. The CINCO tooling suite is used to full generation of a specific graphical modelling tool for the APN model. The simulation code is simply added to the generated code. This tool allows users to build models based on Agent Petri Nets formalism and at the same time to execute these models. Combined APN with the CINCO tool greatly simplifies the development of modelling applications and allows users to get an early experience with a prototype system. To highlight the ability of the proposed tool, a real-life example of a traffic light adaptive system is considered and discussed here.
Clinical and Hematologic Effects of Endotoxin in Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Infections, and Myelokathexis Syndrome Model Mice
Authors: Majumdar Shamik , Gao Ji-Liang , Pontejo Sergio M , Balabanian Karl , Bachelerie Françoise , Murphy Philip M
Published: July 2022

Warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis (WHIM) syndrome immunodeficiency is caused by autosomal dominant gain-of-function CXCR4 mutations that promote severe panleukopenia caused by bone marrow retention of mature leukocytes. Consequently, WHIM patients develop recurrent bacterial infections; however, sepsis is uncommon. To study this clinical dichotomy, we challenged WHIM model mice with LPS. The LD50 was similar in WHIM and wild-type (WT) mice, and LPS induced acute lymphopenia in WT mice that was Cxcr4 independent. In contrast, in WHIM mice, LPS did not affect circulating T cell levels, but the B cell levels anomalously increased because of selective, cell-intrinsic, and Cxcr4 WHIM allele–dependent emergence of Cxcr4high late pre-B cells, a pattern that was phenocopied by Escherichia coli infection. In both WT and WHIM mice, the CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 rapidly increased circulating lymphocyte levels that then rapidly contracted after subsequent LPS treatment. Thus, LPS-induced lymphopenia is CXCR4 independent, and a WHIM mutation does not increase clinical LPS sensitivity. Anomalous WT Cxcr4-independent, but Cxcr4 WHIM-dependent, promobilizing effects of LPS on late pre-B cell mobilization reveal a distinct signaling pathway for the variant receptor.

Objective:

To evaluate the antiproliferative and apoptosis inducing activity of different sydnones on cancer cell lines and their interaction with cancer proteins by molecular docking studies.

Material and Methods:

Antiproliferative activity was carried out by MTT assay and apoptosis inducing activity was performed by DAPI and Annexin V and propidium iodide staining. Molecular docking studies were performed using AutoDock Tools 1.5.6. Pharmacokinetics properties like ADME and toxicity were analysed by pkCSM web server.

Result:

In this study, four new sydnone compounds 3-(4-nonylbiphenyl-4'-yl) sydnone (MC-182), 3-(4-propylbiphenyl-4'-yl) sydnone (MC-454), 3-(4-hexylbiphenyl-4'-yl) sydnone (MC-433), and 3-(4-methylbiphenyl-4'-yl) sydnone (MC-431) were screened for antiproliferative and apoptotic effect against BT-474 (human breast cancer), HeLa (human cervical cancer) and Jurkat (human myeloid leukemia) Mostly, all the sydnone compounds exhibited decent antiproliferative effectiveness, but compound MC-431, MC-433, and MC-454 showed more antiproliferative activity (IC50 1.71, 10.09 and 2.87 μM against BT-474, Hela and Jurkat cell line, respectively). The changes of morphological characteristics of cancer cells determined by staining techniques indicate the apoptotic cell death. The molecular docking and interaction studies were carried out between sydnones with cancer proteins (epidermal growth factor domain receptor tyrosine kinase [EGF-TK], tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-α] and Caspase3. Among all four sydnone molecules, two compounds MC-454 and MC-431 showed good binding energy with targeted proteins. Drug-like property was predicted by ADME toxicity study.

Conclusion:

The results indicate sydnone compounds were found to exhibit anticancer activity by inducing apoptosis. The molecular docking study of sydnones with cancer proteins showed a decent interaction affinity. The results of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity studies by the Insilco approach also proved that MC-454 sydnone showed better In-Vivo administration. Thus, the current research work indicates that these sydnone compounds would be prospective in developing anticancer medicines.

An analysis of the cases of teenagers dying in taverns in South Africa: Some Biblical and African considerations
Authors: Mokhutso Rev. Jacob
Published: July 2022

According to the Holy Scriptures, parents must care, teach, and guide their children to lead a Godly life. Comparably, the African traditional religion expects parents to do so too. On the morning of 26 June 2022, South Africa woke up to the harrowing news of the death of twenty-one young people in a tavern in East London, in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Later, the number of deaths rose to twenty-two. Young people, the youngest being thirteen years old, lost their lives on this fateful day. First, this research seeks to reflect on the lessons the country should learn from this unfortunate ordeal so that such incidents do not occur again. Secondly, this research draws wisdom from the Christian teachings on parenting and African indigenous knowledge system that has anchored African communities for millennia. The research seeks to draw lessons from the teaching of the Bible and African indigenous knowledge system, exploring a Setswana proverb, Ngwana sejo o a tlhakanelwa, meaning a child is a food around which we all gather, implying that a child's upbringing is a communal responsibility. This research also argues that the Enyobeni Tavern incident reflects that Black African families, communities, and the Church’s societal role have changed over the years and how these changes harm their social fabric. The research uses a literature review as a research method to formulate the data and conclusion of the study. The research concludes that, with the change in Black African family structure and communities, some biblical and African considerations drawn from the proverb Ngwana sejo o a tlhakanelwa are relevant to mitigate various social challenges Black African Communities face in South Africa.

Regional Environmental Regulation and IndustrialStructure Upgrading: Prefecture -Level Evidencefrom China
Authors:   School of Economics, Zhejiang Gongshang University, Hangzhou 310018, China, Yu Binbin , Lu Lijun
Published: July 2022

Environmental regulation is not only an effective method to control pollutants and wastes, but also a vital factor that can be used to influence industrial structure. This study applies the panel data of 285 prefecture-level cities in China from 2004 to 2016 to verify spatial autocorrelation between industrial structure upgrading and regional environmental regulation and then uses dynamic spatial panel model (DSPM) to verify how regional environmental regulation both directly and indirectly influences industrial structure upgrading. There is a close spatial autocorrelation in Chinese cities between industrial structure upgrading and regional environmental regulation. The estimation results of DSPM show that regional environmental regulation only acts on that particular region’s industrial structural upgrading but not on the upgrading in other regions. The heterogeneity results show that from economic development, human capital, and foreign direct investment perspectives, regional environmental regulation is also able to reduce the negative impacts of industrial structure upgrading. The strengthening of both infrastructure and government intervention promotes industrial structure upgrading. This study provides effective empirical support for adjustments to China’s industrial structure and regional environmental regulation policy making.

Diminutive freshwater fishes are small vertebrate species, maturing at sizes equal or less than 50-100 mm. The distribution and diversity status of these fishes are poorly known because they are difficult to observe in the wild due to their small size and remote location, especially in selected crater lakes, mountain streams, and waterfalls. The study provides baseline data for the diminutive freshwater fishes in the Santa Cruz River System in Laguna, Philippines. The survey was conducted in the upstream, midstream, and downstream for three quarters in 2016-2017. A total of 1,474 individuals belonging to nine families, 12 genera and 15 species were collected. Of the nine families, Gobiidae was the most abundant (47%) followed by Poeciliidae (18%) and Eleotridae (11%). Shannon-Weiner diversity indices ranged from 0.59 to 1.73. Dominance and Evenness ranged from 0.20 -0.75 and 0.23 to 0.99 respectively. The study recommends preventive approaches over restorative actions for the conservation and protection of the diminutive fishery resource.

Published: July 2022

To develop eco-friendly Underwater Cognitive Acoustic Networks (UCANs) with high spectrum utilization. A huge number of sensor networks are installed Underwater to enable applications for oceanographic data collection, pollution, and corrosion monitoring, offshore exploration, disaster prevention, assisted navigation, and tactical surveillance applications. For feasible applications, there is a need to enable underwater communications among the underwater devices. The latest developments in wireless communications cause spectrum shortage problems in the oceans. Cognitive Acoustic (CA) is the enabling technology for supporting dynamic spectrum access techniques in wireless communication. The CA provides the solution for the spectrum scarcity problem that is encountered in many countries. In oceans, both natural acoustic systems and artificial acoustic systems use acoustic signals for communication. To efficiently utilize the spectrum without interference with other acoustic systems, a smart UAN should be designed with awareness of the surrounding environment and the ability to reconfigure their operation parameters such as frequency band, modulation schemes, and transmission power.
Handover Management in Multi-Hop Cluster based Vehicular Ad-hoc Network
Authors: Thakur Poonam
Published: July 2022

Handover management is one of the emerging trends in VANETs as it provides seamless connectivity throughout the communication process. No doubt handover management is a highly explored topic in the domain of VANETs but handover management in cluster-based VANETs has not been given much attention. So, there is a need to focus on the issue of handover management in cluster based VANETs. In this paper, we have introduced an Enhanced Multi-hop Cluster based Algorithm (EMhCA) for providing smooth handover management in cluster-based VANETs. This EMhCA is the improved multi-hop clustering algorithm which uses the concept of a cluster subordinate node that helps in solving handover problems in overlapping zone found in the cluster-based VANET. The paper below presents a detailed description of the proposed algorithm. To analyze and validate the performance of the proposed EMhCA, ns-3 and SUMO were used. From the simulation results, it may be concluded that EMhCA has improved performance in terms of cluster stability and handover management as compared to the other cluster algorithms reported in the literature i.e. VMaSC, VMaSC-LTE, and MhCA.
Do Public Expenditure and Subsidies have an Impact on Chile's GDP?

Published: July 2022

This paper analyzes the effect of public spending on the Chilean economy by analyzing quarterly data for the period 1990-2018. GDP and public expenditure among other macroeconomic variables have been used to estimate a VEC (Vector Error Correction) model. The main objective is to investigate an important component of public spending, such as Government transfers, and their impact on economic growth. Results show a bidirectional causal relationship of the Granger type between GDP and spending on government subsidies. By the same token, there is a unidirectional relationship of the unemployment rate towards subsidy spending. Through a VEC model, short and longterm elasticities are estimated to analyze the adjustment dynamics between the variables being studied, noting the important effect that GDP has on government subsidies spending and the null effect of these subsidies on Chile’s economic growth.

This study aims to (1) describe and explain the quality of the learning process in procedural text writing skills (2) describe and explain the improvement of procedural text writing skills using flipbook learning media with a scientific approach. This study uses the classroom action research method (classroom action research) with 2 cycles, each cycle consisting of 2 meetings. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, action, observation and reflection. This research was conducted for eight months, from August to March 2022 and was carried out at SMPN 22 Jambi City. The research subjects were Indonesian language teachers and students of class VII G SMP Negeri 22 Jambi City, totaling 28 students consisting of 12 female and 16 male. Data collection techniques consist of test and non-test techniques (observation, interviews, and documentation). The validity of the data in this study used triangulation of data sources. The data analysis technique uses descriptive analysis to describe the increase in student success in each cycle and calculates the average to see the value of student learning completeness. The results showed that 1) The quality of learning to write procedural texts in terms of teacher and student activities has increased. The increase in teacher activity from the learning aspect has increased to reach 100%. The activity of students in the active aspect of listening and receiving teacher explanations increased from 51.79% in the Cycle I to 73.21% in the Cycle II. In the aspect of answering and asking questions, it increased from an average of 44.64% in the Cycle I to 65, 18% in cycle II. In the aspect of ability in discussion increased from an average of 44.64% in the Cycle I to 66.96% in the Cycle II. In the aspect of activeness in carrying out tasks, it increased from 57.14% in the Cycle I to 83.93% in the Cycle II. In the aspect of following the reflection, it increased from 58.93% in the Cycle I to 100% in the Cycle II. 2) The results of students' procedural text writing skills increased as indicated by an increase in grades. In the pre-action, the percentage of completeness was 17.86% in the less category with an average value of 63.25. In the Cycle I, the completeness increased to 67.86% although it was still in the less category with an average value of 71.75. In the Cycle II, the percentage of completeness reached 100% in the very good category, with the average grade achieved was 90.75. This means that flipbook learning media with a scientific approach can improve the quality of learning and writing procedure text skills.
Feminisms, WPS Agenda and Women’s Peacebuilding and Peacemaking Networks in Africa: Solution or Quandary?
Authors:   PhD Candidate, Dudziro Nhengu, 378 Norton, Harare, 0000, Africa University
Published: July 2022

The concept and practice of feminism continues to raise multiple contestations on the African continent, despite the varied contributions that feminists and gender advocates have made on the social, economic and political spheres. Feminism and gender continue to be perceived with suspicion, and as foreign importations that destabilise rather than edify the African governance, peace and security discourse. Through a desk review of existing literature, this chapter provided a qualitative exploration of the contested relationship between feminism and the existing patriarchal modes of governance in Africa, what this means for the future of feminism and the WPS agenda, as well as for the future of the governance, peace and security agenda in Africa. Strategically juxtaposing the gains that feminism has brought on the African landscape against the persistent exclusion of women from the key governance and political processes on the continent, the chapter made a case for the multifarious yet imperative role that African women have played to non-violently challenged patriarchal political models and set the standard for possible egalitarian political relations, further highlighting the major barriers to the women’s empowerment agenda that are causing the fissures through which the said gains are getting lost. The chapter concluded that despite its achievements and impact socially, economically and politically, the existing contestations in the understanding of feminism and its related theories nd practices is a huge fissure that threatens its future existence on the continent. The analysis further shed hope on the possibility of reconciling this stated contestation by proffering recommendations that African feminists can adopt to continuously refine their strategies to impact on the currently prevailing patriarchal modes of governance, peace and security in order to perpetuate the seemingly lost gains of Beijing.

Negligence of health service providers is regulated in Article 58 of Law Number 36 of 2009 concerning Health concerning the right of everyone to claim compensation for a person, health worker, and/or health provider who causes losses due to errors or omissions in the services they receive. Both parties have their own responsibilities. Doctors will consider the medical actions taken, while the hospital is responsible for the health services it provides. The purpose of this study was to analyze the legal liability of specialist doctors related to fetal misdiagnosis. The legal material used in this research is statutory regulations. Secondary legal materials are legal materials obtained from textbooks, journals, legal cases and symposia conducted by legal experts. Tertiary legal materials are legal materials that provide meaningful instructions or explanations for primary and secondary materials such as legal dictionaries, encyclopedias, the Big Indonesian Dictionary and others. Based on the analysis and discussion in determining the criminal legal responsibility of content specialists related to misdiagnosis of the fetus, then based on Article 361 of the Criminal Code (KUHP), it must be explained that the doctor will be responsible for determining the examination actions that occur if an error occurs. The diagnosis made by a doctor must be proven by a doctor who is competent in that field. There is no possibility that the Doctor can argue that he has made the appropriate diagnosis.

On this notes, this paper is out to investigate the impact of health challenges on agricultural performance of Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area in Ekiti State using micro data analysis. The study used primary data through the use of questionnaires from the sampled population selected for the study. A total of 71 respondents contributed to the findings of the research. The study sampled sixty (60) respondents which are basically the farmers’ to analyze possible health challenges affecting agricultural performance, socio-economic characteristics of farmers’, ill- health cases of farmers’ and farmers’ lost of activities during farming’s seasons. The study showed that the most prominent diseases affecting farmers’ families were tuberculosis, chronic back pains, lungs and eyes problems, tetanus, malnutrition’s among others. Findings also indicates that numbers of days farming activities lost to ill-health in a household might help elicit a clearer picture of the effect of transient ill-health on agricultural production. The study therefore concludes that developmental effort in the provision and accessibility of affordable health care in rural areas should be put in place so as to reduce the incidence of diseases in Ekiti State which can as well be used to justify all other rural area States in the country as a whole. The results further accentuates that good health is more important and major backbones to farmers’ in performing their farming activities effectively. Based on the findings of this study, it is therefore recommends adequate provision and sensitization of health and environmental education for rural dwellers from State Ministry of health, Stakeholders and Non-governmental organization to checkmate and also to impose heavy restrictions to the importation of hard drugs into the country such as cigarette, cocaine, alcohol, Tramadol among others causing huge amount of health-illness for farming activities which in turn affecting the agricultural performance in the country as evidence in Ekiti State serving as one of the States producing food for the nation

Published: July 2022

No Brasil existe um grande número de grupos étnicos de povos indígenas, apesar de o processo de colonização ter exterminado várias outras etnias. A etnia Kanela do Araguaia apresenta características distintas de outras etnias, devido ao seu contexto histórico de expulsão de suas terras e o seu deslocamento para outra região. Diante disso, esse artigo tem como objetivo compreender a inserção de jovens indígenas da etnia Kanela do Araguaia na Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG), visando identificar as dificuldades enfrentadas por esses jovens no cenário acadêmico. Foram realizadas entrevistas com três acadêmicos indígenas da UFG dos Cursos de Enfermagem, Agronomia e Engenharia Elétrica. A pesquisa possibilitou dar voz aos acadêmicos indígenas que expressaram os seus anseios enquanto portadores do direito ao acesso a uma educação pública e de qualidade. Foi possível compreender através dos relatos que os entrevistados consideram uma grande conquista ingressar em uma universidade pública, no entanto ainda é um grande desafio para os indígenas tanto o ingresso quanto a permanência em uma instituição de ensino superior, dado o contexto de preconceito com esses povos e a dificuldade de inserção no meio, principalmente em relação à língua.

Published: July 2022

La formación que recibe el futuro profesorado en su formación inicial, en las Facultades de Educación de España, está influida por los principios y enfoques que sus docentes les transmiten, lo que repercutirá en la enseñanza que trasmitan a su futuro alumnado. De ahí la importancia de conocer qué planteamientos sobre educación para el decrecimiento y la sostenibilidad tienen esos docentes universitarios que forman al futuro profesorado del sistema escolar de infantil, primaria y secundaria en España.  Mediante el Análisis Crítico del Discurso se examinan los discursos respecto a la sustentabilidad y el decrecimiento que desarrolla el profesorado de la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad de León, como estudio de caso; discursos obtenidos a partir de la triangulación de tres instrumentos de investigación de corte cualitativo: entrevistas, grupos de discusión y revisión documental de las guías docentes de las asignaturas que  imparten. Los resultados muestran que el profesorado tiende a reproducir los modelos vinculados al discurso neoliberal dominante, a pesar de expresar la intención de ser críticos con este modelo. A pesar de la limitación de este estudio, por la muestra reducida a un estudio de caso, se considera que sus resultados pueden ser transferibles a otros contextos universitarios. Se concluye que es urgente formar en sustentabilidad y decrecimiento al profesorado universitario de las Facultades de Educación si queremos que contribuyan a sensibilizar y concienciar a los futuros profesionales de la educación en un modelo de decrecimiento que permita a las futuras generaciones heredar un planeta sostenible.

El necesario aislamiento social debido a la pandemia de Covid-19, dejando a la educación virtual como la única alternativa segura para mantener la actividad académica en las universidades y no detener la formación de futuros profesionales. El objetivo principal es valorar la competencia para la docencia en la modalidad virtual en profesores de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo y de la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad de Granada. La metodología aplicada se encaja en un enfoque cuantitativo, no experimental, correlacional y de corte transversal. La población estuvo constituida por 114 profesores de esos contextos de la educación superior. La Escala de Funciones y Competencias del Tutor Online fue el instrumento empleado para la recolección de los datos. Los resultados más sustanciales son que el 58,77% de los docentes perteneció al género femenino y la media de la edad fue de 42,87 años. Se asociaron significativamente la categoría docente y el tiempo de experiencia en el magisterio universitario (Rho=0,372; p=0,000). El 74,56% consideró que las actividades prácticas lograron los objetivos propuestos. El 59,65% declaró que prefería la modalidad de enseñanza presencial. Por último, como conclusión más relevante se ve que la mayoría de los profesores involucrados en la investigación obtuvieron un puntaje que los catalogaba como poseedores de las competencias específicas valoradas; así como con respecto a la competencia global para el ejercicio de la docencia en la modalidad virtual, la que se correlacionó significativamente con la modalidad de enseñanza preferida por los integrantes de la población de estudio.

La integración de las Tecnologías de la Información y la comunicación (TIC) en la Educación Superior, y en el marco de la educación inclusiva, requiere de un profesorado formado en competencias digitales. En este contexto, y con el objetivo de conocer el nivel de formación y conocimiento tecnológico que posee el profesorado universitario, el presente artículo analiza la percepción que los profesores universitarios de la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha presentan sobre su formación en el uso de las tecnologías como apoyo a los estudiantes con discapacidad. Para ello, se utilizó un diseño de investigación transversal con enfoque descriptivo y predictivo. La muestra final alcanzada fue de 104 profesores universitarios de las Facultades de Ciencias de la Educación de Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara y Toledo. Se utilizó un cuestionario ad-hoc como instrumento de recogida de datos. Los resultados obtenidos revelaron el bajo nivel de competencias digitales del profesorado universitario con respecto al uso de las TIC con los estudiantes con discapacidad. Esta falta de formación del profesorado influye en el proceso de inclusión de los respectivos centros educativos universitarios. Por ello, y desde las instituciones de Educación Superior, se debe potenciar la formación del docente hacia el uso de las TIC para la atención a la diversidad.

The major environmental problem facing the world is the contamination due to toxic chemicals released by industries. When the industrial process increases rapidly, their chemical reactions to form harmful by-products continue to increase. The level of pollution is increased by industrial effluent, which is been identified as a major polluting agent. The remedy for industrial effluent is bioremediation. Bioremediation is the clean-up process of effluents by microbes and plant enzymes. Microorganisms like bacteria, algae, yeast, and fungus naturally can degrade toxic substances in the environment. Bioremediation techniques like phytoremediation, Phyto stabilization, hemofiltration, augmentation, biosorption, hyperaccumulation, mineralization, excavation, stabilization and mycoremediation, and so on. In this chapter, we are dealing with a promising technique of mycoremediation, where the toxic compounds are removed by fungus. Fungal enzymes like Peroxidase, catalases, and laccases can degrade heavy metals, paper, and pulp effluents, petroleum products, and sludge wastes. Fungus is the most powerful composer for secreting strong cellular enzymes due to their aggressive growth and biomass production. Here we discuss the role of fungal species in the remediation, yield, and tolerance capacity to reduce the influence of toxins.

Published: July 2022

Clerodendrum colebrookianum is commonly distributed in North eastern reagion of India. Clerodendrum colebrookianum leaves are reported to be used in the herbal antidiabetic medicines. The aim of this study was to investigate the antidiabetic property of Clerodendrum colebrookianum leaves in diabetic mice. Diabetes mellitus was induced in experimental mice by intraperitoneal administration of alloxan monohydrate. Diabetic mice showed increase in blood glucose levels after 72 hrs of alloxan administration. Effects of aqueous extracts of Clerodendrum colebrookianum leaves on normal and alloxan-induced diabetic mice were investigated in four groups of mice (six mice per group). The levels of blood glucose of mice were examined in all four experimental groups. Phytochemical screening of the leaf extracts of Clerodendrum colebrookianum indicated the presence of carbohydrates, flavonoids, tannins, phenolic compounds, glycosides, and terpenoids. The mice were administered orally with the aqueous extracts of Clerodendrum colebrookianum leaves with a single dose of 400 mg/kg body weight per day. The leaf of Clerodendrum colebrookianum was found to have blood sugar lowering potential in alloxan induced diabetic mice. The present study has established the anti-diabetic effect of Clerodendrum colebrookianum leaves.

Mentally ill patients need lifelong treatment with psychotropic drugs that predetermine the ADR network. The common adverse effects associated with psychotropic drugs are weight gain, somnolence, tremors, and tardive dyskinesia. These adverse effects tend to deteriorate the mental and physical well-being of the patient and thus lead to patient’s non-adherence to therapy. Setting standards and assessing the safety of care through performance review should become part of everyday clinical practice. Keeping this in mind, present study was conducted to highlight pattern of Adverse Drug Reactions with use of oral anti-diabetic drugs. All suspected Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting Form having any psychotropic drug as suspected cause of ADR was analyzed. Patient on psychotropic drug were screened for suspected ADRs and were reported to AMC (Adverse drug reaction Monitoring Centre), Department of Pharmacology. The reported ADRs on the notification forms, after being confirmed by the physician-in-charge, were assessed for causality using WHO-UMC Causality Categories, and preventability using Modified-Schumock and Thornton scale. Descriptive analysis was done for comparative analysis of data using numbered analysis. Majority of ADRs were found in female (56.6%). Majority of ADRs were observed in 31-40 years of age group (40.41%). Most commonly reported ADR was weight gain (17.11%) followed by sedation (12.39%), Diarrhoea (12.39%) and insomnia (11.80%). Most cases of weight gain were reported by patients receiving atypical antipsychotics (42 out of 58). Causality assessment according to WHO-UMC criteria showed 59% ADRs had probable causality while 40.12% had possible causality and only 0.88% had certain causality. The study results strongly suggest the need for healthcare professionals to focus more on assessment and reporting of suspected ADRs for generating more evidences for clinician to plan accordingly to reduce the cases of preventable ADRs. There is a need for evidence-based psychiatry which integrates with day-to-day clinical care. There is a need to integrate newer trends which are evidence based and have the potential to improve outcome and overall treatment results.
Sodium Benzoate (NaB) Induced Impairment of the Functions of Duodenal Visceral Smooth Muscle (VSM) ex vivo in Rat
Authors: Dey Chaitali , Paul Goutam
Published: July 2022

Sodium benzoate (NaB) is a versatile food additive used to preserve packaged foods and beverages. Thus, people are unknowingly consuming it above the WHO recommended daily intake limit which draws our attention to experimenting with the effects of NaB on contractile functions of visceral smooth muscle (VSM) of the small intestine, the primary target organ exposed to NaB during digestion and absorption of food, in the albino rat model. We have observed a significant (p<0.05) increase in amplitude and decrease in the frequency of the contraction of the duodenum, the initial part of the small intestine, in dose and duration response manner in NaB exposed groups of rats compared to control contractions. This result indicates that NaB probably impairs the contraction of duodenal VSM by promoting the activity of myenteric cholinergic and/or the activity of adrenergic and/or nitrergic efferents. We have also found, a significant (p<0.05) decrease in the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione reductase (GR) and an increase in the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in duodenal VSM homogenate of groups of exposed rats compared to control. These results suggest that NaB probably impairs the contractile function of VSM by altering the functions of myenteric intrinsic efferents by producing oxidative stress in VSM and/or in intrinsic neurons. Further, we have found significant degenerative lesions and altered tissue architecture in the muscularis externa layer of the wall of the duodenum in NaB exposed hematoxylin and eosin stained duodenal tissue sections. These findings reveal that NaB might impair the contractile function of duodenal VSM by inducing the oxidative stress induced degenerations of the architecture of muscle at tissue and cellular levels. Hence, it is concluded that NaB impairs the contraction of duodenal VSM probably by inducing the cytoarchitectural degenerations of VSM structure and/or altering the functions of myenteric intrinsic efferent through oxidative stress.
