Ethyl Gallate: A Potent Inhibitor of MexAB-OprM Efflux Pump in Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Authors: Kaur Navroop , Ralhan Raghav , Farooq Umar
Published: October 2024

Drug resistance in P. aeruginosa has been mediated by several mechanism, out of them efflux pump mediated resistance is one of the most important mechanisms of drug resistance. MexAB-oprM efflux pump capable of recognizing and expelling a variety of structurally unrelated compounds from the bacterial cell confers resistance to a wide range of antibiotics in P. aeruginosa. The aim of the present study was to screen medicinal plants used in Indian traditional medicine to find some potent compound(s) capable of inhibiting the MexAB-oprM pump in P. aeruginosa and also study the synergistic effect of characterized efflux pump inhibitor(s) with resistant antibiotics in Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) strains of P.aeruginosa. A total of 100 clinical isolates, four knockouts and one MTCC-741 standard strain of P. aeruginosa were used in this study. All the 100 clinical isolates were processed for antibiotic susceptibility assay and EtBr Agar Cartwheel assay for determination of MDR phenotype. A total of 40 plants were screened for the presence of compounds with efflux pump inhibitory activity. The plants showing EPI activity were further explored for their synergistic effect with three different antibiotics. Ten plant extracts have shown considerable EPI activity and out of the 10 active extracts only one methanolic extract of Terminalia chebula fruits has shown synergistic activity with group A (ciprofloxacin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol). The fractionation and purification of T. chebula fruit extract provided ethyl gallate which have shown synergistic activity along with group A antibiotics as well as significant EPI activity. The results of the present study conclude that ethyl gallate works as a potent EPI against overexpressing MexAB-oprM efflux pump in P. aeruginosa and may be used along with the resistant group A antibiotics against Multi-Drug-Resistant P. aeruginosa.

Published: October 2024

Many secondary schools in Kenya are yet to incorporate Mobile Technologies into their educational practices, despite widespread ownership and use by both students and teachers. This study investigated the influence of simulations on students' achievement in physics in secondary schools in Nandi East, Kenya. The dismal performance in physics locally and nationally may be linked to slow technological integration, hence the need for the study. The target population consisted of Form Three physics students and 30 Heads of Department (HODs) from 31 secondary schools. A descriptive survey design was utilized. Random and purposive sampling was used to select participants, and data collection involved questionnaires and interviews. Using Taro Yamane’s Formula, the sample size was determined to be 300 students, 30 HODs, and 30 schools. Data were analyzed using SPSS, providing descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, pie charts, means, and standard deviations (SD). The reliability of the questionnaire items was confirmed with a Cronbach Alpha coefficient above 0.7. The findings emphasize the significant benefits of integrating simulations on students' academic achievement in secondary school physics learning. While the study offers important insights, its geographical limitation, technological access issues, and narrow scope constraints must be considered. These results have implications for various stakeholders including learners, parents, teachers, school administrators, curriculum developers, and policymakers. Learners will benefit from improved effectiveness, engagement, and personalized instruction, while policymakers will gain insights for future improvements. The study recommended learners be allowed to bring their own devices to school to ensure equality and equity in access to digital learning materials.

A redução de danos como antídoto paras as políticas de inimizade
Authors: Tonollier Pereira Vinicius , Mainieri Paulon Simone , Romanini Moises
Published: October 2024

Parte-se da ideia de que vivemos na sociedade da inimizade, sustentada pela colonialidade. O campo das drogas expressa e retroalimenta os efeitos de tais brutalidades. Neste artigo, aponta-se que, contemporaneamente, a colonialidade atualiza as políticas de inimizade no paradigma da guerra às drogas. Contudo, mesmo em meio a este cenário bélico, também podem-se encontrar modos afirmativos de vida, sustentados por e através do uso de substâncias. Para sustentar tal argumentação, tem-se como método a pesquisa-intervenção, com a proposição de narrativas, a partir do contexto de trabalho em um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial Álcool e outras Drogas - CAPS AD. Os protagonistas dessas histórias, a partir das narrativas apresentadas, evidenciam a potência dos encontros e das amizades na construção de outros caminhos, tendo como aspecto central a redução de danos, que se constitui, assim, como uma alternativa decolonial.
ГЛАГОЛЫ ДВИЖЕНИЯ В МЕТАФОРИЧЕСКИХ КОНТЕКСТАХ (НА ПРИМЕРЕ РЕПРЕЗЕНТАЦИИ ЭМОЦИОНАЛЬНЫХ СОСТОЯНИЙ)
Authors: Кожахметова А.С. , Казкенова А.К.
Published: October 2024

В статье рассматриваются глаголы движения, участвующие в метафорической репрезентации базовых эмоций (печали, радости, гнева, удивления, отвращения, страха) в казахском, русском, английском и немецком языках. Метафорические контексты, в которых совмещаются существительные – прямые наименования эмоций и глаголы движения, отобраны с использованием словарных и корпусных источников. Основные методы исследования – описательный и сопоставительный, метод лингвистического моделирования, приемы корпусного анализа.
 Статья, с одной стороны, раскрывает метафорический потенциал глаголов движения, а с другой – показывает, как этот потенциал реализуется в разных языках. Наиболее важными параметрами, поддерживающими метафорический образ эмоции (эмоционального состояния), являются направление и способ движения, каузация движения.
Проведенный анализ подтверждает выдвинутую нами гипотезу о том, что в разных языках одни и те же эмоции с помощью глаголов одной тематической группы (например глаголов движения) получают сопоставимые метафорические описания. Так, в ходе нашего исследования выявлено, что глаголы движения регулярно используются в ряде метафорических моделей: ЭМОЦИЯ – ЭТО ЖИДКОСТЬ, ЭМОЦИЯ – ЭТО ЖИВОЕ СУЩЕСТВО, ЭМОЦИЯ – ЭТО ПРЕДМЕТ, ЭМОЦИЯ – ЭТО СТИХИЯ, ЭМОЦИЯ – ЭТО ПРЕГРАДА, ЭМОЦИЯ – ЭТО ПЛЕН. Наименования эмоций в соответствующих метафорических контекстах выступают в следующих семантических ролях: Агенс, Эффектор, Пациенс, Конечная и Начальная точки.
Выявление наиболее важных параметров глагольных лексем и метафорических контекстов, в которых они используются, имеет ценность для дальнейших лингвистических исследований, преподавания языков, формирования мультиязычной базы данных метафорических моделей.

The impact of sales promotion on consumer satisfaction
Authors: Urošević Ana , Dukić Ana
Published: October 2024

Sales promotion activities are generally short-term in nature and aim to encourage short-term purchases of products or services. Through consumer research, companies are able to identify those sales promotion activities that have the strongest impact on consumer satisfaction. Therefore, the subject of the research is the consideration of the relationship between sales promotion methods and the creation of consumer satisfaction. The aim of the research is to determine the effects of sales promotion methods on the creation of consumer satisfaction. Accordingly, an empirical research was conducted using the survey method on a convenient sample of 205 respondents. Descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis and moderation regression analysis were applied in the work. The obtained research results identified key methods of sales promotion (discounts, bonus packs, coupons) that significantly affect the creation of consumer satisfaction, which can enable greater investment and focus of the company on certain methods of sales promotion during future operations. In this way, the company can realize numerous benefits through improving its competitive position on the market, minimizing costs and realizing profits. The contribution of this paper is reflected in the testing of the moderating role of loyalty on the relationship between sales promotion methods and consumer satisfaction, because previous researches are more focused on testing main rather than interaction effects.
The influence of destination image on the domestic tourist's behavior
Authors: Marković Ivana , Borisavljević Katarina , Rabasović Biljana
Published: October 2024

Tourist destination image is directly related to the number of destination visitors, and it significantly shapes the destination positioning strategy and tourist behavior. A favorable tourist destination image attracts tourists, on the contrary, while a negative image discourages tourist visitation. For this reason, this study's subject considers the tourist destination image as a predictor of tourist behavior. The study examines the influence of the cognitive and affective destination image on destination emotional attachment, satisfaction, and loyalty, as well as the effect of destination emotional attachment on satisfaction and loyalty. The primary data were collected by conducting personal interviews, using the online survey technique. Research hypotheses were tested using regression analysis. The study confirmed the likelihood that the influence of the destination image will develop a tourist destination emotional attachment, which significantly affects the future tourist's behavior. Furthermore, the study confirmed that tourist's satisfaction and loyalty are created under the influence of the destination image and based on the destination's emotional attachment. The results indicated that the affective compared to the cognitive image has a more significant impact on all three observed variables in this research: emotional attachment, satisfaction, and loyalty. The theoretical contribution of the study is reflected in new information about the destination image as a predictor of tourist behavior. The study provides information that decision-makers in destination marketing can use when creating a tourist destination positioning strategy, which is a practical contribution of the study.
Genesis of Holocaust history politics: Case study: Republic of Serbia 1945-2020
Authors: Radojković Stefan
Published: October 2024

The ways of preserving and transferring the memory of the Holocaust committed in Yugoslavia in general, and especially within the German military-occupation zone "Serbia", have been the subject of analysis by numerous research projects. Most of the mentioned projects studied the period from the end of Second World War, until the first decade of the XXI century, while a negligible number of scholars attempted to theoretically frame the researched phenomenon. For this reason, the article tries to, through the analysis of the Holocaust history politics practiced by the Republic of Serbia during the period from 1945 to 2020, update the previous research on this topic as well as point out the stages in the mentioned politics genesis in order to conceptually frame them and offer for them preliminary explanations. Looking at the Holocaust history politics of the Republic of Serbia, i.e. its institutional practices, through the theoretical framework of memory studies, the research findings are based on the content analysis of documents published by prominent institutional actors during the aforementioned period. In particular, the documents and publications of the Federal Association of Fighters of the National Liberation War (SUBNOR), the Museum of Genocide Victims and the "Staro Sajmište" Memorial Center are analyzed, as well as documents from other relevant bodies and state institutions. Based on the available documents analysis and a review of scientific literature, the paper advocates the thesis of the existence of three phases within the Serbia's Holocaust history politics genesis, which are characterized by special tendencies (conditioned by social frameworks) when it comes to preserving and transferring the memory of the genocide committed against the Jewish communities of the German military-occupation zone "Serbia". The first phase represents the period 1945-1991 when the abstraction and leveling of the Holocaust victims is the norm. The second phase covers the period 1991-2011, during which the explicit naming of Holocaust victims occurs, but also their intertwining with Serbian and Roma victims. During the third phase (2011-2020), the explicit naming of the Jewish victims of the Holocaust as well as the Roma victims of Samudaripen persists, on the one hand, while at the same time striving for their (institutional) separation from the victims of the genocide committed against the Serbian people. The political landscape has significantly influenced how this history is remembered and commemorated, often reflecting broader regional and global contexts as well as their respective narratives about the Holocaust.
Cultural memory and military tradition
Authors: Stanar Dragan
Published: October 2024

In this article, author aims to offer an in-depth analysis of the place and meaning of cultural memory in the contemporary era of human civilization, observing it from the perspective of the military. By analyzing the phenomenon of cultural memory and cultural trauma, as a necessary element of cultural memory content, author recognizes and lists four key conditions, i.e. criteria that a certain historical trauma must meet in order to constitute cultural trauma. Application of the four conditions to the situation and scenario of soldiers dying in war by the author demonstrates and explains how and why soldiers' deaths in war cannot in fact constitute cultural trauma, and thus consequently cannot represent the type of suffering and death upon which cultural memory is founded on and upon which collective national identity is built. Author of the paper recognizes the specific role of military tradition as the sole instrument of preservation of memory on soldiers' sacrifices in war in order to conclude that optimal development, preservation and strengthening of military tradition in all the forms it manifests in constitutes a duty for each and every generation which wishes not only to preserve eternal and dignified memory of those who laid their lives down for their societies and collectives, but also to preserve and maintain the very essence and root of military identity.

Authors: Thangathamizh Ravichandhiran , Muraliraj Angamuthu , Shanmugavel Periyasamy
Published: October 2024

Introduction/purpose: This article introduces the concept of revised fuzzy cone contraction by using the concept of a traiangular conorm and Revised Fuzzy Cone contractive conditions. Methods: This article established new Revised Fuzzy Cone Contraction (RFC-C) type unique coupled Fixed Point theorems (FP theorems) in revised fuzzy cone metric spaces (RFCMS) by using the triangular property of RFCMS. Results: The obtained results on fixed points in revised fuzzy cone metric spaces generalize some known results in the litrature and present illustrative examples to support the main work. Conclusion: The RFC contractive conditions generalize some important contraction types and examine the existence of a fixed point in revised fuzzy cone metric spaces. In addition, the Lebesgue integral type mapping is applied to get the existence result of a unique coupled fixed point in RFCMS to validate the main work.
Dark sides of deepfake technology
Authors: Veljković Sanela , Ćurčić Milica , Gavrilović Ilija
Published: October 2024

Introduction/purpose: Artificial intelligence can be used for both positive and negative purposes. In recent years, the use of deepfake technology has attracted significant attention. Deepfake technology replaces a person's face and creates events that never happened. While the use of deepfake was more noticeable in the past, the technology has advanced so rapidly that today it is impossible to determine if the content is fake or not. As a result, there is erosion of trust in the media and political institutions, manipulation of public discourse, as well as the spread of disinformation and fake news. The aim of this work is to examine the methods of creating deepfake content and explore the possibilities for detecting such content. A special focus is placed on investigating the dark side of deepfake technology, i.e., the negative purposes for which deepfake technology can be used. Methods: Through the use of literature review methods and content analysis, this work has provided a systematization of knowledge about deepfake technology, as well as an analysis of relevant data in this field regarding the potential misuse of deepfake technology. Deepfake technology and its use are viewed from a security perspective, i.e., how the use of these technologies can pose a social hazard. Future research should be designed to be multidisciplinary, integrating knowledge from social sciences (security, sociology, psychology) and technical sciences (information technology). Results: The results of this research show that in a positive context, the use of deepfake is associated with medicine, the film industry, entertainment, and creative endeavors. However, deepfake is often used to create pornographic content, revenge porn, fake news, and various types of fraud. Conclusion: Deepfake technology is neutral in the sense that the purpose of its use depends on the individual creating the content. The use of both artificial intelligence and deepfake technology raises complex legal and ethical questions. Although there is noticeable potential for societal improvement offered by these technologies, deepfake technology simultaneously poses a serious risk to human rights, democracy, and national security. Therefore, the misuse of deepfake technologies represents a social hazard for the entire population of any country. Women are particularly vulnerable due to the possibility of creating pornographic content and revenge porn using deepfake technology, although victims of this act can also be men.

The plastic bricks were represented with solid elements, while the mortar joints were modeled through cohesive interactions. The numerical model underwent validation through a mesh sensitivity analysis and was subjected to vertical compression followed by horizontal loading. Results: The findings indicated a reduction in strength compared to traditional masonry materials. However, the study successfully captured the structural response and damage evolution of masonry walls under the specified loading conditions. Despite the reduced strength, the structural viability of recycled plastic bricks was strongly affirmed, and the behavior observed under load conditions was particularly informative. Conclusions:The investigation underscored the potential of plastic composite bricks in contributing to sustainable building practices. The outcomes validated the feasibility of incorporating plastic bricks into construction, highlighting their environmental benefits and sustainable implications. This study advanced the field of sustainable construction materials by demonstrating the practical application and benefits of using recycled plastic bricks.

The aspects of allelopathy, allelochemicals, mechanism of allelopathy of weed plants and their impact on crops are discussed in this review paper. An overview of the mode of action of the weed and different strategies and their direct and indirect impact on the overall agricultural system were analyzed. After the passing of the 20th century, the curiosity of the researchers took a remarkable work in comparison to the last decades of the 19th century that was needed too mainly because there was little awareness to the farmers of farming. They are using old practices and synthetic agrochemicals still now, thus having a long-lasting negative impact on the overall factors that have the ability to keep ecosystem balance. There are advanced agriculture techniques and tools that are exploring day by day with the reference to sustainable problems. Allelochemicals are present in all types of tissues and are released by a variety of mechanisms, including decomposition of residues, volatilization and root exudation into the rhizosphere. Allelochemical its structure and mode of action are different and may offer a potential for the future development of herbicide. In this context, there is the discussion of the invasiveness of Chenopodium murale (L.) on certain selected crop species and the aggressiveness of different plant species on the same.

Formalin usage as food preservative in Bangladesh has dramatically increased recently, especially in fish, fruits, and many other food products, putting the vast majority of people in serious health risk. With this background, the study was aimed to detect the alterations of gross structure and histoarchitecture of vital organs in Swiss albino mice due to the consumption of formalin. Mice were divided into five groups at the age of four weeks. Normal drinking water was supplied to the control group of mice. Mice of group 1, 2, 3 and 4 were supplied normal drinking water mixed with formalin at 1%, 5%, 10% and 20% concentrations, respectively up to week 24. Mice treated with varying concentrations of formalin for 24 weeks was assessed for the weight change of their liver, heart, kidney and lung weights. Investigations were also conducted on histological alterations in the liver, heart, kidney and lung. After 24 weeks of treatment of mice with different concentrations of formalin, the weight of all four major organs (liver, heart, kidney and lung) was decreased in all formalin-treated mice in comparison to control mice. Petechial hemorrhages, congestion, necrosis, and parenchymatous cell degeneration have been found in liver. Kidney sections have shown decreased Bowman’s space, hypertrophied glomerulus and tubular dilatation. Leucocyte infiltration, necrosis, and rupture of connective tissue have been seen in the heart sections. Lung sections have shown pulmonary alterations, including hemorrhages, thicker alveolar walls, and inflammatory cells. It was, concluded that formalin has adverse effects on vital organs of Swiss Albino mice.

A field experiment was conducted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur to assess growth and yield of newly released aromatic rice variety (cv. BUdhan 2) under different levels of plant spacing and applied fertilizer. The variety was grown incorporating three fertilizer levels viz. recommended (57- 10-8-7-0.9 kg N-P-K-S-Zn ha-1), 50% higher (114-20-16-14-1.8 kg N-P-K-S-Zn ha-1) and 50% lower (28.5-5-4- 3.5-0.45 kg N-P-K-S-Zn ha-1) than the recommended dose with three plant spacings (20 × 25 cm, 20 × 20 cm and 20 × 15 cm) representing wider, standard and closer plant densities. Results revealed that growth parameters like plant height, leaf area index, dry matter production and crop growth rate were better under the condition of higher fertilizer level with closer plant spacing. Consequently, the highest grain yield (5.18 t ha-1) of the variety was achieved under higher dose of fertilizer at closer plant spacing.

ABSTRACT\nObjectives: To evaluate the adhesion of a resin-based sealer to human dentine irradiated with Nd:YAG laser at two different frequency parameters, using the push-out test. \nStudy Design: Fourty eight maxillary anterior teeth were instrumented using crown-down technique. After each instrument, the root canals were irrigated with 5ml 2.5% NaOCl. Specimens were divided into four groups (n:12): Group C (control group), No was performed to the specimens. Group 1, dentine was treated with 2mL of 17% EDTA for 5 min. Group 2 and 3, dentine were irradiated with Nd:YAG laser at 10Hz and 15Hz, respectively. The root canals were then filled with Epiphany SE-Resilon. The roots were sectioned 4mm below the cemento-enamel junction to provide 4mm thick dentine discs which were centered inside aluminum discs and embedded in acrylic resin and submitted to a push-out test. \nResults: Statistically significant differences were found among the groups. Group 3 showed significantly higher bond strength than the other groups (p<0.05). Group 2 showed the lowest adhesion values (p<0.05). \nConclusion: An increase in laser frequency increased the adhesion of the Epiphany sealer to dentine walls.

Am 28. August 2024 haben vier Richterverbände bekanntgegeben, dass sie Berufung gegen den Medel-Beschluss des Gerichts der Europäischen Union eingelegt haben. Das Verfahren verdient bereits deshalb Aufmerksamkeit, weil es wieder einmal das ewige Thema des Individualrechtsschutzes vor den Gerichten der Europäischen Union betrifft. Darüber hinaus – und von noch größerer Relevanz – wirft die Rechtssache wichtige, unbeantwortete materielle Fragen der Rechtsstaatskonditionalität auf. Insbesondere steht die Wirksamkeit des Instituts erneut auf dem Prüfstand – verhandelt erstmals im Kontext von NextGenerationEU.
