Authors: Darmawan I Putu Ariyasa
Published: January 2024

The Dharmaśāstra is considered the most important and interesting of the many śāstra books which contain the basic set of Hindu teachings and is known as one of the Vedaṅga books, namely the body part of the Vedas which cannot be separated from other Veda Śruti books. Dharmaśāstra is one of the Vedāṅgas and has the most important meaning and position in Hindu society. It consists of Śikṣa, Vyākaraṇa, Chanda, Nirukta, Jyotiṣa and Kalpa. The most important type of Vedāṅga and which has something to do with this Dharmaśāstra book is the Kalpa type. The origin of this Kalpa book is sourced from the Brāhmaṇa saṁhitā and is written in the form of a sūtra or śloka. Based on their usage, this group of Kalpa vedāṅga consists of four types according to their respective topics. The laws of Mānu were enacted during the time of Satya; the law of Gautama in the time of Tretā; the laws of Śaṅkha and Likhita during the time of Dvāpara; and the law of Parāśara in the Kaliyuga.Strict observance of penance (tapa) was a virtue during the Satyayuga; knowledge of the self (jñana) in the Tretāyuga; performing religious sacrifices (yajña) during the Dvāparayuga period, and performing almsgiving (dānam) during the Kaliyuga period. Kāliyuga means the age of strife marked by the fading of the spiritual life, because the world is fettered by material life. Human orientation is only on pleasure by satisfying sensual desire (Kāma) and if this continues to be followed, then lust is like a fire doused with kerosene or gasoline, it will not go out, but destroys the human being. The characteristics of the Kāli era (Kāliyuga) are increasingly evident in the era of globalization which is marked by the rapid flow of information, driven by technological developments with the content of the philosophy of Hedonism which is only material oriented and attempts to obtain mere pleasures

Published: January 2024

The study was carried out to describe the population, population dynamics, production systems and management practices of chicken types reared in Zambia, using the 2017/2018 livestock and aquaculture census data provided by the Zambia Statistics Agency and the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock. Data on the chicken types - Indigenous, Broiler and Layer, was analyzed for both quantitative and qualitative parameters. The population estimates for the chickens were 15,313,780, 6,078,694 and 742,981 for indigenous, broiler and layer, respectively. Flock dynamics could not be ascertained conclusively due to inadequate information. Chicken ownership was significantly skewed towards the male gender for broilers (67%) and layers (79%) while almost equal for the indigenous chickens. Indigenous chickens were more prominent in provinces with high agricultural production (Southern, Central, and Eastern at 51%). Broilers and Layers were more prominent in provinces with commercial centres (Copperbelt and Lusaka at 68% and 75% respectively). The main purpose of rearing indigenous chickens was mainly sales for income (66.1%) and home consumption (32.3%). The main production systems were found to be traditional for indigenous chickens (87%) and intensive for broiler and layer chickens (70.3% and 44%, respectively). The main feeding practices were free-range feeding (80.6%) and free-range with supplementation (17.4%) for indigenous chickens). Diseases notably, Newcastle was found to be debilitating and a great hindrance to livestock production and productivity. The data collection instrument will require fine-tuning to obtain more technical details on production and productivity and better estimate the population dynamics.

Authors: Shrivastava Saurabh , Shrivastava Prateek , Inkane Swapnil , Mendhe Harshal , Joshi Abhishek
Published: January 2024

In the context of medical education, empathy goes way beyond the delivery of effective patient care as it also remains one of the core competencies that medical students must cultivate during the course of their undergraduate training. The findings of different studies have reported a gradual decline in empathy among medical students during the course of their undergraduate training. A number of challenges and barriers have been identified in the development of empathy in medical education, which together can hinder the process of delivery of empathetic healthcare. In order to address these identified challenges, we will require collaborative efforts from administrators and teachers to enable the creation of a supportive environment, wherein empathy development is prioritized. In conclusion, the incorporation of empathy into medical practice has been linked with multiple benefits to patients, healthcare providers, and healthcare delivery system. However, considering the fact that a number of factors influence the development of empathy among medical students, it is the need of the hour to implement strategies to nurture empathy during medical education, which will enable the delivery of patient-centered care and the formation of strong doctor-patient relationships.

Synthesis and biological activities of flavonoid sulfamates as steroid sulfatase inhibitors
Authors:   Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Arab American University, Zababdeh, Palestine, Hejaz Hatem A
Published: January 2024

Synthesis of potent flavonoid sulfamate inhibitors of the enzyme steroid sulfatase (STS), a topical target in treating postmenopausal women with hormone-dependent breast cancer, is described in the current article. Novel compounds were examined for estrone sulfatase (E1-STS) inhibition in intact MCF-7 breast cells. The strategies adopted to develop STS inhibitors which, while active in vivo, are devoid of any estrogenicity that would limit their use for breast cancer therapy (e.g. estrone 3-O-sulfamate, EMATE), were broadly successful. Several molecules of flavonoid sulfamates were synthesized that potentially possess both aromatase and steroid sulfatase inhibitory properties. The isoflavane-4',7-O,O-bis-sulfamate (equol bis-sulfamate) and flavone-6,4'-O,O-bis-sulfamate were found to be the most potent inhibitors of all the flavonoid sulfamate analogs in vitro, inhibiting STS by about 99% at 0.1μM in MCF-7 cells. Some of these flavonoid sulfamates were also found to be active against both enzymes’ STS and aromatase (e.g., 5-hydroxy-7-methoxyflavone-4'-O-sulfamate, 5-hydroxy-flavone-4',7-O,O-bis-sulfamate, and 5,7-dihydroxy flavanone-4'-O-sulfamate), thus demonstrating the novel concept of a dual inhibitor. The availability of flavonoid sulfamates as STS inhibitors may enable to use of them as a therapy in the treatment of breast cancer.

Authors:   ational Influenza Center, Virology Department, National Institute of Hygiene, Ministry of Health. RABAT,Morocco, REGRAGUI ZAKIA
Published: January 2024

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has prompted the implementation of stringent measures to curb viral transmission, including mask mandates, hand hygiene practices, and social distancing. These interventions may also have a substantial impact on the prevalence of other respiratory infections, such as influenza and severe acute respiratory illness. This study aimed to assess the incidence of respiratory pathogens among SARS-CoV-2 negative patients admitted to healthcare facilities during the COVID-19 outbreak. From February to July 2021, nasopharyngeal swabs from 167 adults presenting with COVID-19 syndrome symptoms and negative SARS-CoV-2 tests were collected from seven regional sites across Morocco. Multiplexed nucleic acid testing was employed to simultaneously detect and differentiate 22 respiratory pathogens. Our findings revealed a 43% (n=72) overall prevalence of respiratory pathogens, with Human Rhinovirus (HRV) accounting for 38%, Human Coronavirus OC43 HCoV OC43) for 37%, and Human Parainfluenza3 (HPIV3) for 12%. In contrast to the decline in Influenza A/B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) detection, a significant increase was observed in HRV and HCoV OC43 prevalence. These observations suggest that SARS-CoV-2 prophylactic measures have significantly altered the dynamics of airborne transmission and epidemic patterns for respiratory pathogens. Our findings provide valuable insights into the impact of COVID-19 containment strategies on respiratory infection epidemiology and can inform future prevention and management strategies.

Teve-se como objetivo geral analisar o padrão de mortalidade dos profissionais de enfermagem e o perfil epidemiológico no Estado do Rio de Janeiro no período compreendido entre 2015 e 2021. Tratou-se de um estudo ecológico de caráter exploratório e descritivo, utilizou-se as informações do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade da Secretaria Estadual de Saúde do Rio de Janeiro. Para descrição do padrão de mortalidade dos profissionais de enfermagem selecionou-se as seguintes variáveis: ano do óbito, sexo, raça/cor, idade, escolaridade, ocupação e causa básica da morte. A predição de óbitos esperados e a estrutura de gráficos e tabelas foi obtida por meio da operação estatística de projeção linear do Programa Excel do sistema Windows da Microsoft. O Covid-19 promoveu um efeito deletério contra diversos Profissionais de Saúde sendo os técnicos de enfermagem a categoria mais impactada. A faixa etária acima dos 50 anos foram as mais impactadas não só pelo Covid-19, mas dentro de uma análise em série histórica entre os anos de 2015 a 2021, as que possuem um número maior de mortes. As profissionais do sexo feminino além de comporem a grande maioria nos serviços de enfermagem, foi também a mais impactada com os índices de mortalidade que afetaram esses profissionais de saúde, tanto nas categorias de enfermeiros quanto técnicos e auxiliares de enfermagem. Concluiu-se que analisar o excesso de mortalidade se demonstrou como um importante instrumento na monitorização das decisões tomadas para o desenvolvimento e diagnóstico adequado a se combater a Covid-19.

Published: January 2024

O desenvolvimento de produtos sustentáveis é uma prioridade para as organizações modernas, e o uso do método de elementos finitos (MEF) em conjunto com a avaliação do ciclo de vida (ACV) desempenha um papel crucial nessa busca. Este artigo apresenta uma revisão bibliométrica e sistemática da literatura sobre ouso destas ferramentas no contexto da sustentabilidade de produtos. Através da análise de 33 documentos selecionados, foi observado um aumento na relevância do tema ao longo dos anos, com a maioria dos estudos relativamente recentes, publicados nos últimos 5 anos e os principais países de origem dos autores são China e Itália. Os resultados indicam que o MEF e a ACV são ferramentas poderosas para a avaliação e otimização do desempenho sustentável de produtos, podendo também ser combinada com outras ferramentas, como a otimização topológica e a avaliação de custo do ciclo de vida, auxiliando de forma significativa na seleção de materiais com menor impacto ambiental. Apesar dos avanços, alguns desafios persistem, incluindo a consideração de múltiplos critérios de sustentabilidade, obtenção de dados confiáveis e implementação efetiva dessas abordagens na prática industrial. Em conclusão, o MEF com ACV oferecem uma abordagem abrangente e precisa para o desenvolvimento de produtos sustentáveis, porém há lacunas identificadas que indicam oportunidades para futuras pesquisas, incluindo a exploração de novas técnicas de otimização, consideração de aspectos sociais mais aprofundados e avaliação de novos materiais sustentáveis. O estudo destaca a importância contínua dessas abordagens na busca por soluções mais sustentáveis na indústria.

İstilacı bir tür olan Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann (1910) (Hemiptera: Coreidae) orijini Kuzey Amerika olan, konifer orman ağaçlarının kozalak ve tohumlarında zarar yapan önemli bir tohum zararlısı türüdür. Zararlı tür Avrupa kıtasında ilk defa İtalya’da 1999’da tespit edilmiş, ardından hemen tüm kıtaya hızla yayılmıştır. Ülkemizde de Avrupa’daki istila seyriyle aynı zamanlarda yayılış yaptığı gözlemlenmiştir. Zararlının Türkiye’deki ilk tespiti 2009 yılında İstanbul’da yapıldıktan sonra, 10 yıl gibi kısa bir süre içerisinde Bartın ilimiz de olmak üzere ülkemizin büyük bir kısmına yayılmıştır. Bu çalışma istilacı ve önemli bir tohum zararlısı olan Leptoglossus occidentalis Bartın ilinde yayılışı ve zararını tespit etmek amacıyla 2020-2021 yılları arasında yürütülmüştür. Bu amaçla araziye ışık tuzakları yerleştirilerek popülasyon yoğunluğu tespit edilmeye çalışılmış ayrıca böceğin görüldüğü alanlardan fıstık çamı kozalakları toplanarak doluluk oranlarına bakılmıştır. Sonuç olarak zararlının Bartın ilindeki çam ve göknar ormanlarında yayılış yaptığı ve kozalak verimini etkilediği görülmüştür.

Published: January 2024

La poliomielitis, causada por el poliovirus, ha sido un objetivo clave en la erradicación de enfermedades infecciosas a nivel global. Los programas de vacunación han desempeñado un rol crucial en la lucha contra esta enfermedad, y diferentes estrategias de inmunización han sido desarrolladas a lo largo del tiempo. Una de estas estrategias es la combinación de vacunas secuenciales inactivadas (IPV) y vivas orales (OPV) contra el poliovirus.

Se llevó a cabo una revisión bibliográfica con el propósito de analizar la literatura existente sobre efectividad y seguridad de la combinación de IPV y OPV en esquemas de vacunación contra el poliovirus. La metodología empleada se sustenta en la recopilación y evaluación de estudios previos, artículos científicos y datos de ensayos clínicos relacionados con esta estrategia.

Los hallazgos de esta revisión indicaron que la combinación de IPV y OPV puede ser efectiva en la protección contra el poliovirus. Esta estrategia ha demostrado aumentar la inmunogenicidad, particularmente en lo que respecta al serotipo 2 del poliovirus, y reducir los riesgos asociados con la OPV, como la polio paralítica vinculada a la vacuna (VAPP).

En conclusión, la combinación de IPV y OPV en esquemas de vacunación contra el poliovirus es una estrategia prometedora que puede contribuir significativamente a la erradicación de la enfermedad. Sin embargo, es crucial mantener una supervisión constante y una evaluación rigurosa para garantizar su eficacia y seguridad a largo plazo. Esta revisión resalta la importancia de considerar esta estrategia en los programas de vacunación para alcanzar el objetivo de un mundo libre de polio de manera más efectiva.
