Authors: Rupidara Anggreini D.N. , Seran Melkhior M. , Ledo Mellissa E.S.
Published: April 2022

Moringa (M. oleifera Lamk.) is known to have antibacterial ability, because the seeds contain tannin, flavonoids, alkaloids, and saponins. Kesambi or Malay lac tree (S. oleosa L.) has been used to fight skin inflammation, ulcers, itching, acne and skin infections. Its seeds contain oil, which is very good for the skin. The ability of a mixture of the seed of moringa and kesambi has not been widely reported. This study aims to determine the inhibitory power resulting from a mixture seed extracts of Moringa and kesambi against S. epidermidis and S. dysenteriae. The method used is experimental using CDR (Completely Randomized Design) with 5 treatments and 3 replicates which are P1 = 10 g Moringa + 0 g Kesambi, P2 = 2.5 g Moringa + 7.5 g Kesambi, P3 = 5 g Moringa + 5 g Kesambi, P4 = 7.5 g Moringa + 2.5 g Kesambi, P5 = 0 g Moringa + 10 g Kesambi. One way Anova and Tukey test were performed for statistical justification. The inhibitory test of the mixture seeds extract of moringa and kesambi showed that there was antibacterial activity against S. epidermidis and S. dysenteriae. The mixed extract showed the maximum effect on Gram (+) S. epidermidis, namely P3 with inhibitory power of 25.33Â±0.76 mm. While on the Gram (-) bacteria, S. Dysenteriae, the P4 had the highest inhibition (9.17Â±1.15 mm). The mixture of Moringa seed extract and kesambi seed has a higher effect on gram positive bacteria.
Comparative study on the Rearing performance of muga silkworm (Antheraea assamensis Helfer) on two primary host plants Som (Persea bombycina Kost) and Soalu (Litsea monopetala Roxb) in differentrearing seasons

Published: April 2022

Muga, (Antherea assamensis, Helfer) is a polyphagous multivoltine insect. (Chakravorty et al., 2004) Due to outdoor rearing the muga larvae are subject to different biotic factors and abiotic stress. The seasonal differences in the environmental components considerably affect the genotypic expression in the form phenotypic output of silkworm such as cocoon weight, pupal weight, shell weight and shell ratio. An attempt has been made on two primary host plants viz. Som and Soalu to investigate their comparative performance on rearing in study area on different rearing seasons. Results indicated highest Shell weight and Shell Ratio(SR %) when fed on Som plant (T1) where as Larval weight, Pupal weight is highest when fed on Soalu (T2) plant and the results also reveals lowest performance in Soalu to Som fed batch (T3). This study also reveals that Kotia (V1) season showing best rearing performance followed by Jethua (V2), Bhodia (V3) and Chotua (V4). This study was conducted continually three years in the same area and showing same trend. T-1 and V1 showed the best commercial characters of Antherea assamensis, Helfer when silkworm larvae were feed with Som leaves. Therefore, it is suggested that Som leaves can be used in rearing for higher yield of muga silk. If there is a shortage of Som leaves during commercial rearing, then Chawki rearing can be done in Soalu plants and then transferred to Som plant for late age rearing.

Published: April 2022

A homeopatia é uma medicina antiga, descrita desde 1796, e reconhecida como especialidade médica veterinária. Apesar deste contexto, ainda há pouca oferta de ensino para discentes da graduação, em alguns casos, sendo ofertada exclusivamente na pós-graduação. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi verificar a aplicabilidade dessa especialidade no meio acadêmico das instituições de ensino superior no estado de São Paulo. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica de artigos científicos, dissertação e tese, publicados sobre a homeopatia, além do levantamento das instituições de ensino superior que ofertam a disciplina. O resultado obtido através da pesquisa da grade curricular demonstrou que, apesar dos evidentes benefícios da homeopatia, das 70 instituições de ensino de medicina veterinária do estado de São Paulo, no ano de 2021, apenas quatro ofertavam o ensino da homeopatia. A baixa oferta da matéria na formação do médico veterinário prejudica a propagação de conhecimento e afeta diretamente à população, médicos e pesquisadores veterinários.

Authors: Jothi S. , Seenivasan R. K.
Published: April 2022

The present work describes the synthesis of Cd0.9Zn0.1S and Cd0.87Zn0.1Ni0.03S by chemical co-precipitation method. The XRD profile proved the cubic crystal structure of the samples without any impurity related phases. The reduced size from 63 to 51 Å has been discussed by Ni addition in Cd0.87Zn0.1Ni0.03S structure. The noticed anomalous optical studies and the elevated transmittance at Ni doped sample suggested them for the fabrication of efficient opto-electronic devices. The energy gap reduction during the substitution of Ni = 3% is explained by the generation of extra energy levels associated with defects within the two bands.

Published: April 2022

People have become more interested in biometrics recognition as technology has advanced. Biometrics is the study of automatic systems for distinguishing people related to physical or behavioural features. Methods for finding favourable biometric traits have acquired more attention in recent years. The ear is among the most consistent biometric traits because it does not alter with aging or emotion. The human ear is an excellent source of data for passive personal authentication. The ear looks to be an excellent potential solution because it is accessible, images are easily obtained, and the ear structure doesn't change over the years. The ear meets a biometric criterion (universality, distinctiveness, durability, and collectability). The biometric field is working hard to develop automated individual identification using ear images. Several face recognition approaches fail in this present COVID-19 outbreak due to the mask-wearing situation. The human ear is attractive data for passive personal authentication because it does not need the individual's involvement to recognize the ear. In this research, we suggested an automatic ear identification system using Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN).

Authors: Mahavir Satpute Vivek , Rachh Punit R.
Published: April 2022

Hypertension and hypercholesterolemia are two common diseases that often coexist. The combined presence of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia increases considerably the risk for cardiovascular complications. Selexipag is used to treat symptoms of pulmonary arterial hypertension and Ezetimibe is a lipid-lowering compound that inhibits intestinal cholesterol and phytosterols absorption. The bilayer tablets of antilipidemic and antihypertensive can be employed for the treatment of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia together through oral administration of single tablet. The rationale for this fixed-dose combination is to co-administer two drugs acting by different mechanisms of action together, reduce dosing frequency, and increase patient compliance. In the present investigation we combine Selexipag and Ezetimibe. Immediate release layer of Selexipag was formulated using various superdisintegrants like Crospovidone, Croscarmellose sodium, and sodium starch glycolate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Magnesium Stearate and Extended release layer of Ezetimibe was formulated using polymers and gums like Hydroxy Propyl methyl cellulose, Poly vinyl Pyrrolidone, Talc, Gaur gum, and Xanthan gum, Magnesium stearate. The disintegration and dissolution study of both layers showed that inclusion of surfactant to the tablet formulation (Immediate Release) and dissolution medium (Extended Release) enhanced the release of drugs from both layers.

Published: April 2022

Background: Opioid usage in cardiac surgery is considered to be the corner stone in management. Inadequate pain control after cardiac surgery complicates patient recovery and increases the load on healthcare services. Multimodal analgesia can be used to achieve better analgesic effect and improves patient outcome.  Material and methods: A total of 90 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with median sternotomy were randomly allocated equally into three groups intraoperatively where first group received continuous infusion of high dose opioids, second group received boluses of low dose opioids and third group received multimodal non opioid analgesics including dexmedetomidine, ketamine and magnesium sulphate. All patients received the same post-operative analgesic regimen consists of morphine patient controlled analgesia (PCA). Results: Patients in multimodal non opioid group had more stable hemodynamics intra and postoperatively. Also, patients in multimodal group had lower pain scores extubation, earlier extubation, shorter ICU stay, earlier mobilization and earlier return of bowel movements compared to patients of both groups received intraoperative higher opioid doses.

Authors: Hulkó Gábor , Benyusz Márta
Published: April 2022

Social media and media platforms have fundamentally changed the traditional ways of social communication, expression and declaration, as well as access to information. The novelty and social significance of social media poses challenges that legislation can only follow after some delay. The speed of technological development outpaces the improvement of legal regulation, which, in the most necessary cases, tries to deal with the situation in a reactive manner. This study examines the trends and tendencies in the regulation of social media, focusing mainly on its responsibility and liability for user-uploaded content, for content removal and possible administrative or other interventions in the Visegrad states.
Rifts and deficits – lessons of the historical model of Hungary’s administrative justice
Authors: Patyi András
Published: April 2022

The establishment of independent administrative courts at the beginning of 2020 was repealed by Parliament, including the underlying constitutional provisions, it is still the ordinary courts (including the Supreme Court – Curia) that handle legal disputes of administrative nature. The article introduces the historical model of Hungary’s administrative justice (between 1884 and 1949), emphasising its limited use as an example for the current challenges. We cannot speak of continuous historical evolution. It is more accurate to talk about fragments or fragmented short time periods. The changes and reform plans from 27 February 1884 (the “birthday” of Hungary’s administrative justice) are analysed in the article. The different proposals from the jurisprudence and the only administrative court itself are explained in detail. The role similar to the constitutional courts aspired by the administrative court is also examined. An important declaration from all of the judges of the administrative court (in 1947), according to which the court would not apply legal regulations violating a person’s natural and inalienable rights listed in the Act I of 1946, is also analysed.

Authors: Rozenfeld Sydney , Uppal Harjot , Hesselbach Kristin , Hetzel Scott , Ludwig Trisha , Bice Miranda J. , Williams Seth K.
Published: April 2022

Introduction:

The Pain Plan was developed collaboratively and implemented a unique systematic approach to reduce opioid usage in elective spine surgery.

Methods:

This was a retrospective cohort study comparing patients who underwent elective spine surgery before and after Pain Plan implementation. The Pain Plan was implemented on May 1, 2019. The experimental group comprised patients over the subsequent 1-year period with a Pain Plan (n = 319), and the control group comprised patients from the previous year without a Pain Plan (n = 385). Outcome variables include hospital length of stay (LOS), inpatient opioid use, outpatient opioid prescription quantities, number of clinic communication encounters, and communication encounter complexity. Patients were prospectively divided into three surgical invasiveness index subgroups representing small-magnitude, medium-magnitude, and large-magnitude spine surgeries.

Results:

There was a statistically significant decrease in hospital LOS (P = 0.028), inpatient opioid use (P = 0.001), and the average number of steps per communication encounter (P = 0.010) for Pain Plan patients and a trend toward decreased outpatient opioid prescription quantities (P = 0.052). No difference was observed in patient-reported pain scores. Statistically significant decreases in inpatient opioid use were seen in large-magnitude (50% reduction, P < 0.001) and medium-magnitude surgeries (49% reduction, P < 0.001). For small-magnitude surgeries, there was no difference (1.7% reduction, P = 0.99). The median LOS for large-magnitude surgeries decreased by 38% (20.5-hour decrease, P < 0.001) and decreased by 34% for medium-magnitude surgeries (17-hour difference, P = 0.055). For small-magnitude surgeries, there was no significant difference (P = 0.734). Outpatient opioid prescription quantities were markedly decreased in small-magnitude surgeries only. The total number of communication encounters was not statistically significant in any group. However, the number of steps within a communication encounter was significantly decreased (P = 0.010), and staff survey respondents reported more efficient and effective postoperative pain management for Pain Plan patients.

Discussion:

Pain Plan implementation markedly decreased hospital LOS, inpatient opioid use and outpatient opioid prescription quantities, and clinic resource utilization in elective spine surgery patients.

Social Realistic Portrayal of Indian Society in the Selected Poems of Nissim Ezekiel
Authors: Khan Abbas , Waqar Noureen , Ishtiaq Muhammad
Published: April 2022

Literature is a potential impetus for social change. It provides intellectual consciousness to dismantle the implacable foes of the society. Moreover, it acts as an opportunistic tool for the representation of social crisis. Social realism shows injustice, racism, class differences, and draws attention towards the struggle of middle and poor-class protagonists in the society. In addition, it highlights social conditioning of the people. The present study pinpoints social realities of Indian society in the selected poems of Nissim Ezekiel under the theoretical framework of social realism by Prakash Khuman (2010). It also exhibits the social issues of the middle and lower class. Qualitative content analysis of Ezekiel's selected poems sheds light on the realities of Indian society. Result of the study unravels hidden social realities and the indifferent attitude of the upper class towards the lower class. Findings of the current study reveal significant implications of the root cause behindthe unjustified attitude of the upper class. It also shows a strong reaction of Ezekiel to the intimidating behemoths of the social system. Furthermore, the present study gives a pathway to future studies to find out the different social problems prevalent in other societies.

Published: April 2022

When the largest community of Pakistan, the Punjabis, are abandoning their language, this paper aims to explore the maximum range of factors upon which the speakers of this language, who are worried about its dismal scenario, can cater to hopes for the survival of their mother tongue. Factors such as the stigmatization of Punjabi as a foul language at many of our educational institutions and having a little number of academic careers and job opportunities in private and public sectors make the future of Punjabi in Pakistan very grim. However, the future of Punjabi is not asdismal as it is propagated. This article investigates the future of Punjabi in the opinion of professionals. The researcher conducted interviews, as data, from five heads of the Punjabi Departments at public sector universities. The participants point out various hurdles in Punjabi and its establishment/ acknowledgment as a national language. Still, at the same time, they point out factors that give strength to this language and upon which its disappointed speakers can pave ways for its spread at a national level. The findings show that the demise of Punjab is nothing more than a misleading rumor. Due to time constraints, the researcher collected data from 5 heads of departments. Furthermore, the topic can be explored by probing businessmen, parents, and laymen to get a wider perspective.

Betimsel nitelikteki bu çalışmada, yaşlı bakımı açısından sağlık sistemlerindeki dijitalleşmeyi değerlendirmek amacıyla DSÖ birincil veri kaynaklarına dayalı analizler ve raporlar incelenerek, çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan doküman incelemesi yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Veriler, 1 Ocak 2017 ile 1 Ocak 2021 tarihleri arasında Dünya Sağlık Örgütü'nün (DSÖ) resmi web sitesinden ve ‘www.medbox.org’ ve ‘www.diaglobal-org’ gibi ilgili web sayfalarından elde edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada da tespit edildiği üzere; Dünya çapında hızla yaşlanan nüfus bağlamında sürdürülebilir uzun vadeli bakım sistemleri oluşturmak için DSÖ tarafından ‘yaşlılar için bütünleşik bakım (YBB)’ yaklaşımı geliştirilmiştir. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü, sağlık ve sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının yaşlıların bakım süreçlerini iyileştirilmesine yardımcı olması amacıyla geliştirilen dijital bir sağlık teknolojisi aracına ihtiyaç duyulduğuna dikkat çekmektedir, çünkü; dünya nüfusu hızla yaşlanmakta ve 2050 yılına kadar her beş kişiden birinin 60 yaşın üzerinde olacağı hesaplanmaktadır. Bu yeni interaktif uygulama, toplumda bakıma muhtaçlık riski taşıyan yaşlıları tarama sürecinde sağlık ve sosyal bakım çalışanlarına rehberlik etmek, yaşlıların sağlık ve sosyal bakım ihtiyaçlarının kişi merkezli bir değerlendirmesini yapmak ve kişiselleştirilmiş bir bakım planı tasarlamak amacıyla kullanılacaktır. Uygulama aynı zamanda hükümetler ve kuruluşlar tarafından kişiselleştirilmiş bakım sağlama sürecinde sağlık ve sosyal bakım çalışanlarını eğitmek için de kullanılabilecektir.

This research describes the historical series of the occurrence of the Balkan Wars and the implications thereof for Muslim life there. This study took three main problems, namely (1) the causes of the Balkan Wars, (2) the chronology of the Balkan wars, and (3) What are the implications of the Balkan wars on the socio-political life of Islam in Southeast Europe. The research method used in this thesis is the historical research method. 4 stages, namely (1) Heuristics, (2) Source/Verification Criticism, (3) Interpretation and (4) Historiography. There are two approaches used in this study, namely the political and sociological approaches. While the theory I use in this research is theory. Conflict and social change theory. The results of the research that the authors obtained are: chronologically, the Balkan war was preceded by the problem of Macedonia which in the end was used as an excuse to legitimize the war. Basically, the main cause of this Balkan war was due to the ambition and personal grudge between the respective rulers of the Balkan countries and the Ottoman Empire. It was also driven by the decline of the sultanate, Russian domination, the Turkish-Italian war (1911-1912), the idea of nationalism, propaganda, the formation of the Balkan alliance and the failure of diplomacy. The outbreak of the Balkan war not only resulted in geo-political changes but also was a humanitarian catastrophe for Muslims in the Balkans who at that time had to accept the fact that their situation was no longer the same as when it was led by Muslims because authority had shifted to non-Muslims.

Öğrencilerin hastalığın toplumsal süreçleri ve uzaktan eğitim yöntemlerine ilişkin bilgilendirilmeleri önerilmektedir.
The future of long-term care in Quebec: what are the cost savings from a realistic shift towards more home care?
Authors: Clavet Nicholas-James , Hébert Réjean , Michaud Pierre-Carl
Published: April 2022

This paper aims to estimate the future long-term care needs and expenditures in Quebec while proposing and evaluating a reform package that could deliver increased coverage as well as be more financially sustainable than current policy. This reform package consists of a shift towards more intensive use of home care while increasing public coverage of care needs. A key feature of the proposed reform is to improve the ability of users to choose their provider with the creation of a senior’s care account, an account that grants individuals in need to purchase services from several providers, including both home and institutional care. To improve the neutrality of public support across care arrangements, we also propose to increase residents’ contribution in nursing homes while favoring the continued use of existing tax credits to help seniors with lower needs in terms of care. Using detailed dynamic modelling of care needs, living arrangements, and expenditures, we estimate that long-term care needs will grow rapidly in the next two decades and the costs will quickly become prohibitive under current policy. We show that substantial cost savings may exist.

Published: April 2022

Wastewater must be treated in order to reduce the environmental impact of used water and to ensure the efficient use of its resources. Physical, chemical, and biological treatment techniques are used to treat domestic wastewater. It's crucial to either optimize existing processes for domestic wastewater, which has different characteristics in terms of wastewater characterization, or use appropriate treatment technologies, taking into account the conditions in the region where the plant will be built. In this study, the wastewater treatment plant for the Hakkari city centre, where there is no wastewater treatment plant and wastewater is discharged without treatment, was designed and modeled using the GPS-X simulation program.

On a weighted version of the Gumbel-Barnett copula
Authors: Chesneau Christophe
Published: April 2022

Copulas are increasingly widely used probabilistic tools for describing, analyzing, and modeling random variable dependencies. In this article, we offer a new copula which stands out from the others by an original definition based on the simple symmetric two-dimensional function \xyyx" multiplied with an exponential function. It can also be viewed as a special weighted version of the Gumbel-Barnett copula. We investigate its properties and relationships with other well-known copulas. Some graphical and numerical analyses of its characteristics are also provided.

Olive oil is depicted as "green gold" in Libya. It plays an inevitable role in Libyan food culture and countries' economies. This review highlighted the most recent advances and challenges about the botanical classification of olives', factors affecting olive oil quality and virgin olive oil processing techniques. Furthermore, this review explores the most significant attributes of olive oil in health and pharmaceutical applications. For instance, reduced pure olive oil considerably lowers the risk of cholesterol-related and other vascular diseases. Also exhibits excellent pharmaceutical properties for curing oxidative damage linked to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, this review highlights the nutritional and food benefit of olive oil. Olive oil is an excellent antioxidant whereby olive oil can be applied to protect highly refined food such as meat from any pathogenic food spoilage. We hope that this review will give comprehensive knowledge about the health benefits of olive oil, which help to utilise oil in pharmaceuticals.
