Published: October 2017

O presente trabalho tem por finalidade promover reflexões e questionamentos a partir de um estudo de revisão bibliográfica sobre as Políticas Públicas Educacionais. O referido estudo teve por foco as problemáticas das políticas públicas educacionais criadas pela sociedade na modernidade e pós-modernidade, que,por sua vez, influenciam a formação e o papel do educador. As políticas curriculares constituem uma inquietação expressiva para as autoridades governamentais, gestores, formadores e professores que precisam implementar um currículo que tenha significado para os educandos. Políticas que são elaboradas sem a colaboração dos diversos sujeitos do processo educativo têm menores chances de serem abraçadas pelas escolas. Muitos dos pesquisadores que são contratados para gestarem as reformas e as propostas curriculares estão muito longe das práticas escolares e dos alunos contemporâneos.Os saberes da experiência dos professores são construídos na prática e validados pela prática. Portanto esses profissionais devem ser respeitados em suas condições de produtores de conhecimentos e não como meros executores de políticas.A construção curricular precisa ser dinâmica, participativa, flexível para que seus significados sejam sempre renovados para atender os anseios dos sujeitos do processo educativo e da sociedade. Autores como Brandão (2008), Formosinho (2007), Pacheco (2003 e Tardife (2012) fazem parte do quadro teórico, contribuindo para destacar que, nesse processo de conferir maior coerência e efetividade às políticas públicas curriculares, é necessário, também, intensificar forças na educação para envolver a família e a comunidade na escola, fortalecer o uso de didáticas participativas, ampliar a oferta de espaços físicos que possibilitem múltiplas aprendizagens, aprimorar o trabalho cooperativo, entre outras.

Authors: Araújo Marcos Alberto de , Duarte Francisco Ricardo
Published: October 2017

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a gestão da comunicação interna através das relações dos atores envolvidos nas organizações. Para uma comunicação eficiente, é necessário que os funcionários desenvolvam a capacidade de comunicar-se bem. A comunicação interna está presente nos mais diferentes níveis da organização e tem ocupado cada vez mais espaço e importância, pois é através do processo eficiente de comunicação que os funcionários podem compreender melhor a missão e visão da empresa, bem como sua cultura organizacional. Entretanto, muitas organizações desconhecem a real importância desta ferramenta, não compreendem a relevância em manter seus colaboradores informados sobre o que está acontecendo na empresa e não investem no desenvolvimento de tais habilidades. Por isso, através de um estudo bibliográfico, a pesquisa em questão buscou levantar informações acerca dos desafios e dificuldades da comunicação organizacional interna e maneiras de ultrapassar tais barreiras.

The Caatinga biome which presents a singular vegetation found only in Brazil has a diversity of vegetal species with uses not yet explored. In this sense, the objective was to study two species of the Caatinga biome to be used as cut flowers. The work was developed at the Agricultural Sciences Campus of the Federal University of the São Francisco Valley, Petrolina, PE. Based on previous studies, two endemic species of the Caatinga biome were selected: Neoglaziovia variegata and Senna martiana. The evaluation criteria were based on the length, stiffness and appearance of the stems; form of flower, fruit or leaf; income in floral composition; color or brightness; scent; originality; and real life in water and floral foam. For these characteristics grades were assigned (0, 5 and 10) and after classified for ornamental potential (high, medium, low and minimum ornamental potential). The results showed that the species N. variegata and S. martiana reached 80 and 85 points, respectively, classifying them as high ornamental potentiality. As such, they can be used as cut flower

Published: October 2017

A study was conducted to elucidate the effect of different planting systems, videlicet (viz.) flat, ridge, and raised bed system on growth, yield and quality of gladiolus and stock. Corms of ‘Rose Supreme’ and ‘White Prosperity’ gladiolus and seedlings of ‘Cheerful White’, ‘Lucinda Dark Rose Double’ and ‘Lucinda Dark Rose Single’ stock were planted on different planting systems in individual experiments for each species. Gladiolus had similar good quality production irrespective of planting systems with numerical superiority of ridge planting, which produced longer stems with higher stem fresh weight, but delayed corm sprouting by ca. 1 d compared to raised bed or flat planting system. Among cultivars, ‘Rose Supreme’ produced higher number of florets per spike, taller stems with longer spikes, higher fresh weight of stems and higher number of cormels than ‘White Prosperity’. Stock plants grown on flat beds produced stems with greater stem length, leaf area and fresh weight of stems compared to ridge or raised bed planting systems. Plants grown on ridges produced the highest stem diameter, number of leaves per plant, total leaf chlorophyll contents, and number of flowers per spike. ‘Cheerful White’ and ‘Lucinda Dark Rose Double’ performed best by producing good quality stems in shorter period compared to ‘Lucinda Dark Rose Single’. In summary, gladiolus should be grown on ridges, while stock may be planted on flat beds for higher yields of better quality flowers.

Brain is one of the most vital parts for humans, with the number of brain function that is needed for the body, the brain becomes a very important part of the human body. If there is damage to the brain will certainly cause the performance of the human body will not run properly. Because of that, it’s very important to maintain brain health. There is a way to maintain brain health, for example is by doing brain exercise. Examples of brain exercise is to do simple math calculations or doing brain games like sudoku. Because of that, created a tool that can help the brain to maintain brain exercise. The tool is called math clock. Making math clock tool consists of hardware and software. The hardware consists of RTC as real time data input, ATmega328 as microcontroller and dot matrix 32x16 as a tool to display the output that has been processed by the microcontroller. The software is built using C with Arduino IDE. Math clock will process the data from RTC then processed it, in microcontroller so when output displayed on dot matrix, output will be simple mathematical operation with real time clock data on it. Test results show that, math clock is capable of displaying a simple mathematical calculation operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The mathematical operation that display on math clock, appears to be random, so it’s not triggered by same mathematical operation. In math clock the display will change every 20 second, so in 1 minute there are 3 different kinds of mathematical operations. The results of questionnaires of 10 different students, showed 9 out of 10 students said math clock is a tool that easy to use as a clock. Math clock will be alternative for doing brain exercise every day.

Mathematical modelling of bioethanol production from algal starch hydrolysate by Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Authors: Singh S. , Chakravarty I. , Kundu S.
Published: October 2017

Bioethanol is an excellent alternative for petrol and has long-term economic advantages over non-renewable liquid biofuels. Bioethanol can be produced from different biomass materials, and it is categorized into three generations by biomass. First generation bioethanol directly competes with food items while second generation bioethanol requires more land area and fertilizers. Bioethanol produced from algae comes under third generation bioethanol and has many advantages over first and second generation bioethanol. Algae have higher growth rates than plants and require less land area also they do not need additional fertilizers for their growth. Microalgae can fix atmospheric CO2 from the environment and assimilate it into lipid and carbohydrates which can be used as a substrate for biofuel production.  In this work, microalgae Chlorella sp. was cultivated at 28oC and light intensity of 25µmol m-2 s-1 and used as a source of starch for bioethanol production. Chlorella starch was hydrolyzed into fermentable sugars by amylases produced from Aspergillus niger NCIM 616 for bioethanol production by yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCIM 3494. Mathematical modelling gave the insight to predict the experimental profiles of bioethanol production from algal biomass.  Microbial growth, reducing sugar consumption, and bioethanol production were described quantitatively by using Logistic, Pirt, and Luedeking-Piret equations respectively.  The equations used in modelling of the fermentation kinetics matched very well with the experimental profiles, thus concluding that ethanol production from algal starch hydrolysate was growth-associated under the evaluated conditions.

Abstract:

The laparoscopic minimally invasive surgical technique is widely employed on a global scale. However, the efficient and ethical teaching of this technique requires equipment for surgical simulation. These educational devices are present on the market in the form of box trainers and virtual reality simulators, or some combination of those. In this article, we present a systematic overview of commercially available surgical simulators describing the most important features of each product. Our overview elaborates on box trainers and virtual reality simulators, and also touches on surgical robotics simulators, together with operating room workflow simulators, for the sake of completeness. Apart from presenting educational tools, we evaluated the literature of laparoscopic surgical education and simulation, to provide a complete picture of the unfolding trends in this field.

Analytical and numerical investigation of site response due to vertical ground motion
Authors: Han B. , Zdravković L. , Kontoe S.
Published: October 2017

Owing to the repeatedly observed strong vertical ground motions and compressional damage of engineering structures in recent earthquakes, the multi-directional site response analysis is increasingly critical for the seismic design of important structures, such as nuclear power plants and high earth dams. However, the site response to the vertical component of the ground motion has not been the subject of detailed investigation in the literature. Therefore, in this paper, the vertical site response due to vertical ground motion is investigated by employing both analytical and numerical methods. First, a one-dimensional frequency domain analytical solution, which can be employed for vertical site response analysis in practice, is studied and compared against time domain finite-element (FE) analyses for the two extreme soil state conditions (i.e. undrained and drained conditions). The vertical site response is further investigated with hydro-mechanically (HM) coupled FE analysis, considering solid–fluid interaction. The parametric studies undertaken show that the predicted vertical site response is strongly affected by the parameters characterising the hydraulic phase, namely, soil permeability and soil state conditions, both in terms of frequency content and amplification. The subsequent corresponding quantitative investigation, of the frequency content and amplification function of the vertical site response, shows that depending on the soil permeability the response is dominated by the two types of compressional waves (fast and slow waves). Notably, the parametric studies identify a range of permeability that significantly affects dynamic soil properties in terms of P-wave velocities, damping ratios and vertical site response, and this range is relevant for geotechnical earthquake engineering applications. It is therefore recommended that coupled consolidation analysis is necessary to simulate this effect accurately at such permeability-dependent intermediate transient states between fully undrained and drained conditions. Finally, this work suggests a simple modification of standard total-stress site response analysis to account for vertical ground motion and solid–pore fluid interaction. In order to simulate the attenuation of the response due to solid–pore fluid interaction effects, it is suggested to employ additional HM viscous damping in total-stress analysis, further to the one used to account for hysteretic material damping. This additional viscous damping can be quantified based on the empirical curves proposed in the paper.
A review of research on high-strength steel structures
Authors: Ban Huiyong , Shi Gang
Published: October 2017

Structures made using high-strength steel (HSS) offer numerous benefits in terms of mechanical performance, economy and sustainability. With such structures increasingly being used in practice, academia in civil engineering is progressively focusing on HSS structures through experimental, numerical and theoretical investigations. This paper reviews research advances in HSS structures at the level of material properties, the behaviour of component members and connections and the performance of frame structures, and the corresponding findings are summarised and discussed. The literature indicates that, compared with structures made with conventional mild steel, HSS structures exhibit new features in terms of mechanical performance. It is hoped that this review will be helpful in providing a better understanding of the mechanism of HSS structures subjected to static or cyclic loading and promoting their practical application.

Abstract.MINDFULNESS AND NEUROCOGNITIVE REHABILITATION.Nowadays approximately fifty million persons are suffering from dementia throughout the world according to the latest statistics of the European Commission (2016). Moreover, every year new 7.7 million instances of this disease are detected. At this moment, Alzheimer’s disease would be the most common mental disorder in terms of world population health, in other words, this disease can signify 70% of all dementia. Even now pharmacological treatments are ineffective. Consequently, utilization of non pharmacological therapies is opening a wide range of possibilities aimed to increase prevention and, at the same time, improvement in living standards of careers and relatives of patients with dementia who are usually overburdened. This presentation contains a review about researches on mindfulness (MF) and its implementation like potentially strategies aimed to treat this disorder.Keywords: Dementias, Mindfulness, Neuroimagen, meta-analysis.Resumen.Los últimos datos aportados por la Comisión Europea señalan que la demencia afecta actualmente a casi cincuenta millones de personas en todo el mundo y que cada año se detectan 7.7 millones de nuevos casos. A día de hoy, el Alzheimer es la demencia más padecida por la población mundial pudiendo constituir en términos relativos el 70% de las demencias. En la actualidad no existen tratamientos farmacológicos que den una respuesta definitiva a este tipo de patologías. Las utilizaciones de terapias no farmacológicas abren un amplio abanico de posibilidades desde el ámbito de la prevención, y de la mejora de la calidad de vida en cuidadores y familiares de enfermos con demencia, básicamente con sintomatología de “sobrecarga”. En este articulo hacemos una revisión sobre investigaciones relacionadas con la “atención plena” ( MF) y de su implementación como estrategias potenciales en el abordaje de este tipo de patologías. Los últimos trabajos aportados con técnicas morfométricas por neuroimagen constituyen un importante avance a la hora de intentar aportar evidencia científica en este campo.Palabras clave: Demencias, Mindfulness, Neuroimagen, Meta-análisis, Rehabilitación.

Authors: Titova Svetlana , Samoylenko Olga
Published: October 2017

This article investigates the pedagogical impact of both the mobile-testing system PeLe and an enquiry-based approach to language skills development in the context of mobile-assisted language learning. The study aims to work out a methodological framework for PeLe implementation into a language classroom through immediate feedback and formative assessment. The framework was developed and pilot tested in a joint research project, MobiLL, by EFL teachers at Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia) and University College HiST (Norway). The analysis based on quantitative research data demonstrated that PeLe-supported language classes resulted in language skill gains. The qualitative data analysis highlighted the positive effect of mobile formative assessment and of post-test activities on learner motivation and collaboration skills. This study suggests that the use of technology was effective in engaging students in enquiry-based tasks to cultivate collaboration.
W. G. Sebald: pós-memória, palavra e imagem
Authors: Klein Kelvin Falcão
Published: October 2017

O objetivo do artigo é propor uma leitura da poética de W. G. Sebald a partir da noção de “pós-memória” e sua específica contribuição para o debate acerca das relações entre palavra e imagem. São expostos três momentos de análise: em primeiro lugar, o uso ecfrástico que faz Sebald de Albrecht Altdorfer em seu poema “Nach der Natur” (1988); em segundo lugar, a apropriação do Roland Barthes de A câmara clara feita em uma entrevista; e, finalmente, a leitura detida de uma das seções de Vertigem (1990), na qual a figura de Franz Kafka é aproximada à de Jean Paul. A hipótese é de que a fronteira que rege as passagens entre palavra e imagem diz respeito também ao contato entre memória e experiência, desembocando em uma reflexão acerca da constituição do sujeito histórico e seu acesso ao discurso e à arte.
Ex-combatente historiador: reflexões antigas e contemporâneas
Authors: Sebastiani Breno Battistin
Published: October 2017

Tucídides e Políbio têm em comum o fato de serem ex-combatentes que, em decorrência do fracasso, foram obrigados a se exilar e, durante tal intervalo, optaram por escrever história, o que seria um modo, mesmo que indireto, de agir politicamente. O texto discute pressupostos historiográficos de cada historiador que indicam como sua experiência político-militar prévia contribuiu para com a respectiva escrita da história, e sugere como as contribuições de cada um podem ainda ser úteis para atuais reflexões historiográficas – especificamente, para a discussão sobre as porosidades entre ficção e historiografia.
Anticonvulsant effect of nifedipine, dizepam and in combination on pentylenetetrazol induced experimental models of epilepsy on albino rats
Authors: C. Muralidhar , S. Vijay Prasad , I. Sridhar
Published: October 2017

Background: In many patients, the presently available antiepileptic drugs such as phenobarbital, phenytoin, benzodiazepines, sodium valproate, etc., are unable to control seizures efficiently and the problem of adverse effects has also not been circumvented completely and approximately 30% of the patients continue to have seizures with current antiepileptic drugs therapy. Hence, search should continue to develop newer, more effective, and safer neuro-protective agents for treatment of epilepsy. Aim of the study was to investigate the activity of nifedipine, the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, diazepam, the benzodiazepine anti- convulsant of established efficacy and their combinations against rat models of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) induced convulsions. Method: Wister albino rats of either sex, weighing between 150-220gm were used. Rats were divided into 10 groups, in each group n=6 total N=60.Methods: PTZ was administration 30 min after test drug administration. Intraperitoneal injection of PTZ at the dose of 80mg/Kg body weight were administered to the rats to produce chemically-induced seizure. The effect of nifedipine and diazepam were assessed on such seizure model. The onset and duration of clonic convulsion were recorded.Results: The onset time of PTZ-induced clonic convulsion was significantly prolonged with the Nifedipine in the doses of 4mg and 8mg per Kg. in comparison to nifedipine in dose of 2mg per Kg. The interesting observation was that while Diazepam in 1mg/Kg. dose significantly (P<0.05) prolonged the onset time, there was significant decrease (P <0.001) in the onset time of PTZ-induced clonic convulsion with diazepam in doses of 2 and 4mg per Kg. in comparison to Diazepam 1mg per Kg. But the combination of diazepam 2.5 mg and Nifedipine 2.6mg and 5.3mg exhibited significant prolongation of the onset time. Diazepam 1 and 2mg per Kg was found to be equally effective in reduction of convulsion time, while 4mg dose showed more reduction of convulsion time. The combination of diazepam and nifedipine showed no better reduction in the convulsion time and also valproic acid in doses of 135mg. Kg.Conclusions: Nifedipine (3-5mg/Kg) and diazepam (2.5mg/Kg.) combination delayed the onset of convulsion. Diazepam 2mg / Kg. alone was effective in reduction of duration of convulsion. The combination dose having 2.6mg of nifedipine showed comparable protection with valproic acid 135mg per Kg. while the combination having 5.3mg of nifedipine showed significantly better protection.
Delayed acute onset post traumatic sigmoid sinus/cerebral venous thrombosis
Authors: K. S. Bopaiah , Shah Shreykumar P.
Published: October 2017

Post traumatic Sinus/cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare entity. A high index of suspicion is required as the prognosis is poor in this clinical setting, in view of the effects of the head injury. We report 2 cases of the patient worsening acutely after initial recovery from trauma. The etiology and pathogenesis in such cases are varied and hypothetical with no definite underlying cause identified. Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) as an etiology of headache is not always easy to diagnose unless suspected, and in any patient with head injury and delayed deterioration after initial recovery, post traumatic Cerebral venous thrombosis should be kept as a differential diagnosis.

De la «neutralidad» a la «imparcialidad» en la red. Un análisis crítico de la política de la UE sobre internet y algunas propuestas de mejora
Authors: Rodríguez Prieto Rafael
Published: October 2017

La neutralidad en la Red es el principal pilar de Internet: asegura derechos fundamentales y un Internet abierto. Se supone que las compañías suministradoras de Internet no deberían discriminar, en términos generales, entre los contenidos de la Red. La neutralidad en la Red es imprescindible para preservar el acceso de todos a Internet. De otra manera, las corporaciones dividirían la Red entre líneas rápidas o lentas y sería el fin del Internet abierto. La Unión Europea trató de fortalecer la neutralidad en la Red al requerir a los suministradores del servicio el tratamiento igual de todo el tráfico sin favorecer a unos servicios sobre otros (EU la regulación sobre Internet abierto entró en vigor el 30 abril de 2016, de acuerdo a (EU) 2015/2120 de 25 noviembre 2015). No obstante, la regulación contiene lagunas que plantean dudas tanto a defensores de la neutralidad como del libre mercado. El Cuerpo de Reguladores Europeos para Comunicaciones Electrónicas (BEREC) publicó unas directrices para la aplicación de las obligaciones de las autoridades regulatorias nacionales con el fin de contribuir a la aplicación de la regulación que se adoptó el año anterior. Estas directrices no aclaraban la regulación. Este artículo se propone analizar la legislación. Se concentra en la discusión sobre la generación de líneas rápidas para servicios especializados, o el zero rating, bajo la cual ciertos servicios no consumirían datos del contrato mensual. Este artículo propone también una nueva y más adecuada aproximación a un Internet libre y abierto, denominada «Red imparcial».

O Diabetes Mellitus é uma doença crônica que ocorre quando o pâncreas não produz insulina suficiente, ou o organismo não é capaz de utilizar eficazmente a insulina produzida. A classificação atual pela Diabetes Mellitus baseia-se na etiologia e não no tipo de tratamento, os tipos mais frequentes são o tipo 1 e o tipo 2. O Diabetes Mellitus tem sido fortemente associado com o dano ao Sistema Nervoso Central e, consequentes déficits cognitivos e a mudanças estruturais e neurofisiológicas do cérebro. O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar possíveis danos cognitivos em pacientes com Diabetes Mellitus tipo II em tratamento com insulina do Programa de Automonitoramento Glicêmico Capilar por meio de testagens neuropsicológicas. Métodos: Estudo censitário, observacional, transversal, analítico, com abordagem quantitativa. Foram avaliados 37 pacientes diabéticos tipo II, com idade a partir de 18 anos em uso de insulina e inscrito no Programa de Automonitoramento Glicêmico Capilar, analisados todos os prontuários, aplicado um questionário complementar e os testes Wais III e Wisconsin. Resultados: Na análise da idade e tempo de estudo dos pacientes com o teste Wisconsin a variável Percentual de Respostas de Nível Conceitual apresentaram diferença considerada estatisticamente significativa p<0,05. Discussão/Conclusão: O processo de envelhecimento por si só trás consigo perda de densidade cerebral e prejuízos cognitivos decorrentes do envelhecimento, demonstram ainda uma piora significativa das funções executivas quando associada a um quadro de DM conforme mostram nossos resultados.

Published: October 2017

Background: Aspartame (APM), a common artificial sweetener, has been used for diabetic subjects and body weight

control for a long time. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the impact of APM consumption on

neurotransmitters and oxidative stress in rat’s brain.

Materials and Methods: Four groups of male Wistar albino rats was used: Group1, control (Rats fed on normal diet).

Group 2: Rats were received aspartame (50 mg/kg b w). Group3: Rats were received aspartame (75 mg/kg b w). Group 4:

Rats were received aspartame (125 mg/kg b w). Five rats were decapitated after 10, 20, 30 and 40 days from start of

experiment. Blood and brain tissue were collected for biochemical analysis. Biochemical analysis of brain tissue includes

neurotransmitters (Acetylcholine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, γ-aminobutyric acid and serotonin). Serum for

determination of lipid peroxidation (MDA), reduced glutathione and superoxide dismutase (SOD).

Results: the data obtained showed that antioxidant activities (SOD and GSH) were reduced significantly (p

Published: October 2017

Background: Ischemia-induced brain damage is the leading cause of adult disability and the fifth leading

cause of death, and thus, the development of anti-apoptotic neuro-protective therapeutic agents is viewed as

an attractive developmental strategy. Glycyrrhizin is the main sweet component in licorice and has a number

of pharmacological activities, which include neuro-protective, anti-fungal, and anti-cariogenic activities.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of glycyrrhizin on ischemia-induced brain damage.

Materials and Methods: In infarct volumes and the levels of several apoptosis-related proteins, caspase-3, -

8, 9, Bcl-xL, Bcl-2,and their activities in the brains of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) treated mice

were measured using western blotting methods.

Results: Single pre-treatment with glycyrrhizin (10-100 mg/kg)at 2 hours before MCAO significantly

reduced infarct volumes at 24h after MCAO. In addition, glycyrrhizin effectively inhibited the activations of

caspase-3 and -9 and the down-regulation of Bcl-xLprotein caused by MCAO.

Conclusion: The neuro-protective effect of glycyrrhizin was found to be due to its regulation of apoptosisrelated

proteins signals.The authors suggest glycyrrhizin be considered a potential candidate for the

treatment of ischemia induced brain damage.
ANTIOXIDANT AND HEPATOPROTECTIVE POTENTIALS OF BAUHINIA VARIEGATA SEEDS AGAINST FERRIC CHLORIDE-INDUCED LIPID PEROXIDATION IN CHICKEN LIVER HOMOGENATE
Authors: Tshidino Shonisani Cathphonia , Montsho Ntakadzeni
Published: October 2017

Background: Iron accumulation in the liver is customary in pathological conditions associated with oxidative stress. Iron is also an essential element for organisms at its physiological levels. This study was aimed at investigating the antioxidant and hepatoprotective potential of acetone and methanol defatted seed extracts of Bauhinia variegata Linn (Leguminosae) against ferric chloride (FeCl3)-induced lipid peroxidation in chicken liver in vitro.

Materials and Methods: Antioxidant capacity and hepatoprotective potential of acetone and methanol defatted seed extracts of B. variegata were evaluated using the established in vitro models, FeCl3-induced lipid peroxidation in chicken liver homogenate and thin layer chromatography-2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (TLC-DPPH). Ascorbic acid, and acetone and methanol seed extracts of milk thistle (Silybum marianum) were used as antioxidant and hepatoprotective controls.

Results: An overall of 80% acetone and absolute methanol defatted seed extracts of B. variegata [B. variegata acetone extract (BVAc) and B. variegata methanol extract (BVMe)] revealed to possess antioxidant and free radical scavenging capacity, which can protect the liver from FeCl3-induced lipid peroxidation in a concentration-dependent manner when compared with controls, ascorbic acid and extracts of milk thistle. At concentrations of 250 µg/mL and 300 µg/mL, thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) inhibitions were 80.5% and 97.6% for BVAc; and 84% and 98.7% for milk thistle acetone extract (MSAc). At concentration of 300 µg/mL, BVMe and milk thistle methanol extract (MSMe) TBARS inhibitions were 89.0% and 93.8%, respectively. These findings may confirm the presence of antioxidant compounds with hepatoprotective potential in both defatted seed extracts of B. variegata.

Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest acetone and methanol extracts of B. variegata defatted seeds may serve as good sources of natural antioxidant and hepatoprotective agents.
