Authors: Sharif M. , Ansari F. , Hassan N. Ul , Sultana K. , Ali Q.
Published: January 2022

Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vitro antiproliferative activity of ethanolic extract of leaves and fruits Citrus paradisi plant on HepG-2 liver cell lines by MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-terazolium bromide) assay and to isolate and characterize the antiproliferative compounds by TLC (Thin layer chromatography) and FT-IR (Fourier transforms Infrared) spectroscopy. Qualitative phytochemical screening tests were performed to detect phytochemicals compounds from the crude extracts. Antioxidant activity of the plant extracts were characterized by using DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging method. The results showed that antioxidant activity using DPPH were found to be increased in a concentration dependent manner and decreased cell viability and cell growth inhibition in a dose dependent manner. The findings from this study indicated that fruit extract exhibited good antiproliferation and antioxidant potential. The seven functional groups of phytocompounds such as carboxylic acid, amine salt, aromatic compounds, cyclic alkene, aldehyde, fluoro compounds and alkene were detected by FT-IR which indicated that fruit extracts of Citrus paradisi possessed vast potential as a medicinal drug especially in liver cancer treatment.
Monocrotaline presence in the Crotalaria (Fabaceae) plant genus and its influence on arthropods in agroecosystems
Authors: Rech C. , Ribeiro L. P. , Bento J. M. S. , Pott C. A. , Nardi C.
Published: January 2022

Abstract Crotalaria (Fabaceae) occurs abundantly in tropical and subtropical regions and has about 600 known species. These plants are widely used in agriculture, mainly as cover plants and green manures, in addition to their use in the management of phytonematodes. A striking feature of these species is the production of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), secondary allelochemicals involved in plant defense against herbivores. In Crotalaria species, monocrotaline is the predominant PA, which has many biological activities reported, including cytotoxicity, tumorigenicity, hepatotoxicity and neurotoxicity, with a wide range of ecological interactions. Thus, studies have sought to elucidate the effects of this compound to promote an increase in flora and fauna (mainly insects and nematodes) associated with agroecosystems, favoring the natural biological control. This review summarizes information about the monocrotaline, showing such effects in these environments, both above and below ground, and their potential use in pest management programs.

Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT Scheduling problems are tasks of the operational routine in companies, which demand an optimal solution to support the decision. However, these problems have not been frequently investigated in forestry science. Therefore, it was proposed to describe a mathematical formulation for silviculture optimization under scheduling restriction of the workforce /sequencing of tasks (SSRCMM). Seeking the most suitable method to solve this combinatorial problem, two strategies were compared: i) Integer Linear Programming (ILP) and ii) simulated annealing (SA). The main criteria to assess strategies’ performance were to provide feasible solutions at an acceptable processing time and final project cost. The instance approached is a real problem outlined in 32 stands and five silvicultural tasks scheduled within a 40-day deadline. Three objective functions were also tested, defining case studies (S) to attend to the recurring managers’ decisions by minimizing: S1 – project cost, S2 – makespan, and S3 – workforce usage. The results reveal a robust model to support the forest planner in operational-level tasks. The ILP achieved the optimal solution only for the minimization of the project cost (S1) due to the delay in processing time of the other case studies. Thus, the SA stands out as an efficient method to solve the SSRCMM by providing satisfactory solutions in a reduced time. All the objective functions fitted properly with their proposed goals. The makespan and workforce usage functions increased by US$1,820.29 (S2) and US$2,146.39 (S3) from the S1, respectively, to finish the project earlier and reduce the oscillation of workforce usage over the days. Facing these findings, it is suggested that future researchers incorporate other challenges in decision-making, involving a multi-objective formulation or methods to reveal new insights for forest management and planning.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OF TIMBER TRUSSES STRUCTURAL TYPOLOGIES APPLYING COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Authors: Moraes Matheus Henrique Morato , Fraga Iuri Fazolin , Pereira Junior Wanderlei Malaquias , Christoforo André Luis
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT Timber application is viable in constructive systems because of its mechanical properties, suitable for structural applications in engineering. Timber is even more interesting to use since it is a renewable source. Among its several applications, timber is widely used in roofing structures, with several typologies of trusses. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the behavior of plane truss in different loading conditions, including dead load, service load, and wind suction load. The mechanical performance of two trusses (Pratt and Scissor) was analyzed and compared, according to the Brazilian standard of timber structures ABNT NBR 7190 (1997) (methods and calculus premises), with the finite element method, an algorithm of swarm intelligence optimization (structure weight minimization), and a parametric study. Based on minimum weight and maximum displacement as a function of span variation, Pratt typology presented lower weight (3-19%) when compared with Scissor, under the same span and loading conditions. Regarding maximum displacements, Pratt typology presented lower displacement values than the Scissor typology. The difference between these values ranged from two to seven times, indicating that Scissor typology can better distribute normal loads (maximum displacement closer to the normative limit displacement). Variance analysis (5% of significance) confirmed these results.

ABSTRACT The recent interest in constructing high and robust wooden structures has stimulated the investigation of physical and mechanical properties as well as their correlation with other important parameters of the material of tropical species like the Vatairea sp., whose popular name is angelim-amargoso, used especially in roof structures with large spans. The Brazilian Standard for wood constructions recommends using linear models to correct or estimate the strength and/or stiffness of wood correlated with moisture content and also provides the classification of hardwoods according to their characteristic strength. However, because wood is a natural, heterogeneous, and anisotropic material, certain properties may not be affected by significant differences in moisture content. Therefore, in this study, the influence of moisture content on fifteen physical and mechanical properties of Vatairea sp. wood was investigated through its characterization. The tests were carried out on 12 specimens for each property and two groups: with the moisture content of 12% and at the fiber saturation point. The Anderson-Darling test was performed to verify the results’ normality and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) to analyze the influence of moisture content on these properties. In addition, the wood was classified according to the strength classes of the Brazilian Standard, and the strength and stiffness were estimated according to the linear models proposed by the same norm. The estimated results were compared with the experimental ones through the difference calculation and percentual error of the values. It was concluded that most properties were not affected by the moisture content, and the most significant errors obtained in the estimates were for properties that were significantly influenced by the moisture content.

Published: January 2022

Ovarian granulosa cell tumor (OGCT) is a rare ovarian tumor that accounts for about 2-5% of all ovarian tumors. Despite the low grade of ovarian tumors, high and late recurrences are common in OGCT patients. Even though this tumor usually occurs in adult women with high estrogen levels, the cause of OGCT is still unknown. To screen genetic variants associated with OGCT, we collected normal and matched-tumor formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) from 11 OGCT patients and performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) using Illumina NovaSeq 6000. A total of 1,067,219 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 162,155 insertions/deletions (indels) were identified from 11 pairs of samples. Of these, we identified 44 tumor-specific SNPs in 22 genes and four tumor-specific indels in one gene that were common to 11 patients. We used three cancer databases (TCGA, COSMIC, and ICGC) to investigate genes associated with ovarian cancers. Nine genes (SEC22B, FEZ2, ANKRD36B, GYPA, MUC3A, PRSS3, NUTM2A, OR8U1, and KRTAP10-6) associated with ovarian cancers were found in all three databases. In addition, we identified seven rare variants with MAF ≤ 0.05 in two genes (PRSS3 and MUC3A). Of seven rare variants, five variants in MUC3A are potentially pathogenic. Furthermore, we conducted gene enrichment analysis of tumor-specific 417 genes in SNPs and 106 genes in indels using cytoscape and metascape. In GO analysis, these genes were highly enriched in “selective autophagy”, and “regulation of anoikis”. Taken together, we suggest that MUC3A is implicated in OGCT development, and MUC3A could be used as a potential biomarker for OGCT diagnosis.

Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs) are highly contagious diseases of livestock within the world. they need importance within the international trade of animals and animal products. With rapidly increasing globalization, associated risk of transboundary disease is emerging. They reduce production and productivity, disrupt local and national economies, and also threaten human health (zoonosis). Transboundary diseases are a priority globally, cumulative effort is required at the international level to attenuate the spread of infectious diseases across the borders. except for sub-Saharan African countries more particularly, eradication of most Transboundary animal diseases is impossible thanks to various technical, financial and logistical reasons like increased outbreaks of transboundary animal diseases droughts and market issues. In Ethiopia Transboundary animal diseases are endemic livestock diseases that cause market limits. This imposes far-reaching challenges for agricultural scientists on the critically important have to improve technologies in animal production and health so as to confirm food security, poverty alleviation and to assist the economic process. The international approach to the management of TADs is predicated on the belief that the majority is often eradicated. However, in developing countries, eradication of most TADs is difficult for a range of technical, financial and logistical reasons. General TADs combating strategies include prevention, early warning, early detection and early control.

Thermal error modeling of spindle and dynamic machining accuracy reliability analysis of CNC machine tools based on IA and LHSMC
Authors: Zhang Ziling , Feng Shuo , Ding Yan , Mei Xiao , Tao Zhiqiang
Published: January 2022

Machining accuracy reliability as a key index of CNC machine tools is seriously influenced by the geometric and thermal errors. In the paper, a spindle unit thermal error modeling and machining accuracy reliability analysis method is proposed. By analyzing the heat generation mechanism, a thermal error model was developed to describe the thermal deformation of the electric spindle. Based on the immune algorithm (IA), the heat generation power and the heat transfer coefficient were optimized, and the thermal error was obtained by finite element thermal-mechanical coupling. By adopting the multi-body system theory (MBS), a dynamic machining accuracy model was put forward including the geometric and thermal errors. Based on the Latin hypercube sampling Monte Carlo method (LHSMC), a machining accuracy reliability analysis method was proposed to characterize the machining accuracy reliability considering the geometric and thermal errors. The method was employed to a machine tool, and the experimental results indicate the verification and superiority of the method.
Automatisierung der Automatisierung in der Praxis
Authors: Hoernicke Mario
Published: January 2022

Das Forschungsthema Automatisierung der Automatisierung (AoA) beschäftigt das akademische Umfeld schon über ein Jahrzehnt. Die Aussicht auf automatisch erstellte Automatisierungslösungen veranlasste die akademische und industrielle Forschung dazu, Initiativen zur Entwicklung von Algorithmen für AoA zu starten. Entstanden sind Methoden zum automatischen Erzeugen von Planungsartefakten, die nachweislich funktionieren und einen Mehrwert für die Automatisierungstechnik bringen. Diese werden dennoch in der Industrie wenig eingesetzt, da die benötigten Planungsdokumente selten elektronisch auswertbar vorliegen. Dieser Beitrag stellt eine Methode vor, die Teile der Planungsinformation der Verfahrenstechnik (VT) aus der Planung der Automatisierungstechnik wiederherstellt. Das entstehende Modell lässt sich zum Beispiel verwenden, um Anlagensimulationsmodelle zu erzeugen. Der Nutzen des Konzepts wird anhand einer Öl-Produktionsanlage nachgewiesen und der AoA-Anwendungsfall automatisch erstellte Simulationsmodelle in die Praxis übertragen.
Universelle Referenzarchitektur für eine sichere cloudbasierte Automation
Authors: Bartsch Witali , Hübner Michael
Published: January 2022

In the first of a series of articles, we introduce the term “Symbiotic Security” to denote an ideal architecture where all essential components (e.g. hardware, software or networks) contribute to raising the architectural security bar. The growing importance of cloud computing for secure and resilient automation and its intended independence from hardware to accommodate all platforms have led us to observe a disconnect between well-known cloud service providers and manufacturers of embedded devices or IoT: the unsolved problem of initial enrolment. After elaborating on the root cause of this gulf we present a non-invasiveextension and implementation of a cloud IoT reference architecture for an automated, mutually  authenticated and encrypted roll-out of IoT nodes. To also enable automated key management without human intervention, the system refrains from using any static secrets usually employed by the hardware vendors – a longstanding point of criticism. Despite our practical choice of a target platform, the idea itself is uniform across such environments given their inherent similarities.

n this paper, we present a modification of Pollard's ro-method for searching for a discrete logarithm in the case when it is expressed by a binary vector of relatively small weight. In this case, it is necessary to change the procedure for iterating through random elements of the group under consideration in order to remain in the set of discrete logarithms expressed by binary vectors of low weight. We assume that this weight does not exceed half the length of the input word in the algorithm under consideration. To the other hand the case, when some close approximation of discrete logarithm is known considered. The paper uses estimates for binomial coefficients, the birthday paradox theorem, and the Berry-Esseen theorem for the Bernoulli scheme.

Background. Triple negative breast cancer has no specific treatment sites for chemotherapy and is unfavorable in terms of prognosis. One of the drugs widely used in this cohort of patients is eribulin, which in addition to its antimitotic effect has an effect on the tumor microenvironment. The search for biological criteria that will allow predicting the effectiveness of the drug is assumed relevant since it will help to select patients who may receive the most benefit from certain therapy regimens.

Objective: identification of immunological predictors of the therapeutic effectiveness of eribulin in patients with locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.

Materials and methods. The study included 20 patients with locally advanced and metastatic triple negative breast cancer. 50 % had a short-term response (progression-free survival <3 months) to eribulin therapy, and 50 % had a long-term response (progression-free survival >6 months). Seven-color immunofluorescence was used to determine the subpopulation composition of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and their PD1 expression. Image acquisition and analysis were performed using the Vectra® 3.0 system and InForm® software (Akoya Biosciences, USA).

Results. It has been shown that the ratio of the number of PD1-negative to PD1-positive CD20+ B-lymphocytes less than 5.5 associated with the long-term effectiveness of eribulin in patients with locally advanced or metastatic triple negative breast cancer.

Conclusion. The results showed that the ratio of the number of PD1-negative to PD1-positive CD20+ B-lymphocytes can be considered as a possible marker to predict the effectiveness of eribulin in patients with breast cancer.

Published: January 2022

Background. Long-term use of chondroprotective agents – chondroitin sulfate (CS) and glucosamine sulfate (GS) in the treatment of osteoarthritis puts forward increased requirements for the safety of drugs, primarily in terms of effects on the liver and kidneys.Objective: systematization of data on the effect of chondroprotectors on liver structure and functions.Material and methods. Using the methods of the theory of topological text analysis, an intellectual analysis of 2319 publications on fundamental and clinical studies of the relationship of CS and GS with liver function was carried out. The search was performed by a key query “(chondroitine OR glucosamine) AND (liver OR hepatic OR hepatocy*)” in the PubMed/MEDLINE database.Results. The systematic analysis indicated a pronounced hepatoprotective effect of CS and GS pharmaceutical substances with a high degree of purification from inorganic and organic impurities. By regulating inflammation processes, lymphocyte function, fat and carbohydrate metabolism in the liver, standardized forms of CS and GS have a beneficial effect on fat metabolism, reduce chronic inflammation in the liver, exhibit antitumor and pronounced hepatoprotective effects on various models of liver intoxication.Conclusion. The results of this analysis allow us to assert the high safety of drugs based on pharmaceutical standardized forms of CS and GS in terms of liver function.

Abstract
Parasitic enteritis is considered the main cause of intestinal disorders in domestic dogs (Canis familiaris), playing an important role in animal health and public health. Ancylostoma caninum, Toxocara canis. Giardia spp. Cryptosporidium spp. and Cystoisospora spp. are the most frequently described enteroparasites in clinical routine. Considering the importance of infection by these agents in dogs, the present work carried out a literature review on the main enteric parasites that affect dogs, aiming to understand their biological, pathogenic, diagnostic, treatment and prophylaxis aspects. Knowledge of the biological cycle and forms of transmission of each parasite is essential to understand its forms of dissemination, appropriate diagnostic techniques and disease prevention. The close relationship between animals and man, especially with regard to companion animals, has led to the emergence and resurgence of potential zoonosis. Thus, the concept of One Health must be, every day, more inserted in society and especially among veterinarians.

Background: The aim of the study was to study the frequency of female genital tract infection using cartridge based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT), to study the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy of CBNAAT.Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted among 100 patients as per inclusion criteria with genital tract infection in Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut over a period of two years. Investigations including ZN staining for acid fast bacillus (AFB), endometrial sampling for histopathology, CBNAAT and BACTEC culture were sent.Results: In a study of 100 patients’ histopathological examination detected tuberculosis in 2% patients while CBNAAT detected tuberculosis in 5% patients. Tubercle bacilli was found in 3% women on AFB stain while in only 1%-woman genital tuberculosis was diagnosed by BACTEC culture.Conclusions: Female genital tuberculosis is detected most frequently when a woman presents with unexplained infertility. Newer technologies allow genital tuberculosis to be identified at an earlier stage and enable us to provide treatment. CBNAAT being a sensitive test picked up more cases than histopathology, culture, AFB stain. Hence CBNAAT should be widely used for early detection of female genital tuberculosis.
Russian Voyages and Geographical Discoveries in the 18th — 19th Centuries on the Far East
Authors: Shabelnikova Natalia
Published: January 2022

The exit of Russian people across the mainland of Asia to the western coast of the Pacific Ocean marked an outstanding feat of the Russian people in geographical discoveries in Siberia and the Far East. The process of colonization by Russian people of the territory of the Far East and Russian America has a number of features: on the one hand, there was an extraordinary speed of development, and on the other, its extreme unevenness. The solution of the Amur Question, the Sakhalin and Kuril problems put an end to the unknown in the border issue. These processes have become an impulse for active diplomatic activity. The study of the Far Eastern seas was developed. Ethnographic, geological, zoological, botanical and other studies gave a new variety of material for science. The study and development of the Far East and Russian America in the 18th — 19th centuries was of paramount importance for the economy of the region, for the development of industry, agriculture, fisheries and trade.
Indigenous Peoples of the Russian Far East of the 17th — 21st Centuries
Authors: Latushko Yuri
Published: January 2022

This chapter is devoted to the ethnography of the Russian Far East. Russian explorers reached the shores of the Pacific Ocean around the middle of the 17th century. Here they met many local peoples, previously unknown to them, some of which were “yasaked”, that is, imposed a tax in kind. On the other hand, the local population got acquainted with the Russian culture, which was new for them. The first contacts were sometimes accompanied by conflicts and misunderstanding of the customs and traditions of each other, but gradually the practice of mutually beneficial coexistence developed, friendly, marriage and economic relations were established. After military clashes with Qing China and the defeat of the defense of the Albazin fort, Russia and China signed the Nerchinsk peace treaty (1689), according to which the Russians had to leave the Amur River, and the fort itself was subject to “ruin to the ground”. Therefore, until the middle of the 19th century, the main sources on the ethnography of the Russian Far East relate mainly to the peoples of the Chukotka-Kamchatka cultural region who lived north of the Stanovoy Range. The situation changed with the beginning of the “Amur alloys” in 1854—1858, initiated by the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia N. N. Muravyov, and the signing later of the Aigun (1858) and Peking (1860) treaties with China, as well as the firm consolidation of Sakhalin Island for Russia. From that time on, the development of the Amur and Primorye regions began, which led not only to military, but also to civilian colonization of the region and the beginning of the “golden age” of Far Eastern ethnography. Since that time, the peoples of the Amur-Sakhalin ethnographic region are also included in the orbit of Russian culture. About why and who exactly are referred to as indigenous peoples, about the features of their material and spiritual culture, as well as about modern ethnocultural landscapes of the Russian Far East will be discussed within the framework of this topic.

Au cours de la première vague épidémique (de février à juillet 2020), une équipe de 11 chercheurs a recensé et analysé la mobilisation des populations autochtones et quilombolas, et leur appropriation de l’outil statistique, pour apparaître dans les chiffres officiels. En réaction à ces mobilisations, les bulletins épidémiologiques publiés par les États et les communes amazoniennes ont fortement évolué d’un mois sur l’autre, faisant apparaître différentes lectures de la crise sanitaire, ancrées dans les imaginaires et les enjeux de pouvoir des régions amazoniennes. L’analyse met en évidence ce combat, discret mais essentiel, des minorités ethniques du pays, pour que soient actées, par les chiffres et dans les discours, les conséquences de l’épidémie sur leurs populations.

Ahbaabul Musthofa has big role in the development of da'wah in Special Region of Yogyakarta. Beside having a very broad of worshipers covering all districts in Yogyakarta, this hadrah group as a performer of Ahbaabul Musthafa assembly also has a good track record with Habib Shaykhs throughout Indonesia. This makes the group reference for most hadrah groups in Yogyakarta. As a media of da'wah, there are messages to be conveyed through the hadrah. Not only in the performance of the hadrah, it also represented in symbols through the entire of this assembly. By ethnographic analysis, we try to explore the problems in terms of culture and communication. Based on research, being a dominant worshipers in these assembly was apparently unable to guarantee the Syekher Mania Community understood the symbols and their meanings. The results showed that besides being a place for friendship and media to increase love for the Prophet Muhammad, hadrah also being a form of self-servitude to Allah through fun worship, respect for the presence of the Prophet Muhammad, symbolizing the atmosphere of joy, peace of mind, faith, simplicity, sincerity, and determination in devotion to Allah.KEYWORDS: Hadrah, symbols, meanings of hadrah symbols, Ahbaabul Musthofa Yogyakarta.

The doctrine of res judicata is an important feature in many common law systems, most notably formulated in English law. This paper examines its rationale, purpose and scope under common law, with a focus on the cause of action estoppel and issue estoppel, before looking at its application in the legal system of the Republic of Cyprus. Cyprus owes much of its legal system to common law and thus possesses many similarities to the English formulation of the doctrine.

Samples of spray-dried soy milk powder were produced at various spray-dryer inlet air temperatures and characterized. Soybean seed (Glycine max TAX 1448 – 2E Var.) was sorted, boiled for 40 min, manually dehulled, wet milled using plate mill and sieved with muslin cloth to obtain water soluble extract (soy milk). The soy milk was divided into two portions (samples A and B) and spray-dried using co-current spray dryer at a constant feed rate (20.5 ml/sec) but at air-inlet temperatures of 204oC and 260oC, respectively. Preliminary investigation carried out on this study showed that samples produced at air inlet temperatures below 200oC exhibited wet and agglomerated particles. The recovered powdered samples were analyzed for proximate composition, pH, available lysine, total solids, pack bulk density, viscosity, solubility and wettability at different reconstituting water temperatures, and sensory properties. Results showed that 38.60% and 45.55% yield (soy milk powder) were achieved at the end of the process for samples A and B respectively. The samples showed no significant differences (P ≥ 0.05) in some of these evaluated parameters such as fat, ash and pH. Soy milk powder showed high protein content (62.05±0.23%), fat (19.92±0.08%), ash (1.41±0.02 %) and available lysine (5.02±0.29%), but low carbohydrate content (12.85±0.01 %) and moisture (3.66±0.23%). The physical properties showed that the mean total solid of the samples was 10.33±0.33%, pack bulk density (0.57±0.00 g/ml), while the mean viscosity was 47 mpas. The sample spray-dried at 204oC had solubilities of 48% and 78% at reconstituting water temperatures of 40oC and 80oC, respectively while the sample produced at 260°C showed lower solubility of 38.46% and 45.01% when temperature of reconstitution were 40oC and 60oC, respectively. However, the sample produced at 260oC exhibited decreased solubility when the reconstituting water temperature was raised above 60oC. Its solubility was 40.39% at reconstituting water temperature of 70oC which further decreased to 38% at 80o C. The wettability of the samples steadily decreased as the reconstituting water temperature increased from 40 to 80oC. The wettability of the sample spray-dried at 204oC decreased from 36 to 22 sec, while that of sample spray-dried at 260oC decreased from 29 to 18 sec. Sensory scores showed that the sample spray-dried at 204oC was preferred to the sample spray-dried at 260oC.
Nutraceutical perspectives and utilization of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.): A review
Authors:   University of Zambia, Zambia, Nyau V
Published: January 2022

Consumers are increasingly becoming aware of the health benefit s of foods and pay particular attention to the potential disease preventing and health promoting compounds that a given food contains. This awareness, coupled with a well -known understanding of how diet affects our health is motivating a quest for natural health products. There is a growing interest in common beans and their products because o f the health claims associated with their consumption. Common beans are rich in protein, carbohydrate, fiber, minerals and vitamins. Proteins have always been recognized as the most significant macronutrient in common beans and though the seed is limited in methionine (a sulphur containing amino acid), it is often complemented by methionine- rich cereal sources such maize and wheat. Consumption of common beans has been linked to decreased occurrence of chronic non communicable diseases such diabetes, cancer, obesity and coronary heart diseases. Common beans contain a variety of phytochemicals such as polyphenolic compounds, alkaloids, fibre , saponins, steroids, lectins and terpenoids among others. These phytochemicals are believed to offer protective functions and physiological effects in the body. The nutraceutical properties that have been described for common beans include free radical scavenging activity, glycemic index lowering activity, anti-lipase activity, anti-mu tagenic activity, cancer- preventive activity, lowering of the plasma cholesterol levels and antioxidant activity. The objective in this paper is to review the major biological activities of common beans as reported in the literature. The paper also reports on the opportunities to use common beans in the formulation of rea dy-to-use products or products t hat are quick to prepare in order to increase its utilisation in both the developed and developing countries. It is well understood that one of the factors that discourages consumption of common beans and other legumes is long cooking time. Ready-to-use products o r products with short preparation times provide an opportunity for convenient consumption of common beans by consumers in busy occupations.

Authors: Mohan Jitendra , Pandey Amit , Singh Vishwajeet
Published: January 2022

Background: Phytoremediation, plant usage for remediating natural resources, is being sought as a modern method to clean up polluted lands and streams, including water from ground. Bioremediation assisted by plant, also known as phytoremediation and includes the involvement of microbes associated with certain root systems to remediate soils comprising elevated organic compound concentrations. These strategies could provide cheaper methods for remediating polluted lands and streams with radionuclides, chemicals and different types of organics, with less secondary contaminants and less environmental effect than traditional methods of remediation can produce. All plants consume essential nutrients from their soil and water conditions like metals. Methods: The domestic wastewater quality was determined by analyzing physico-chemical parameters like pH, TDS, TS and electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, calcium, potassium, magnesium, sulphate, phosphate, nitrogen, iron and manganese and contaminant removal indices were determined during the year 2018-19. Result: The present study was conducted to check the phytoremediation capability of aquatic plant Ceratophyllum demersum (L.). Wastewater was characterized using standard methods and pollutant concentrations were measured in sample of wastewater initially and after phytoremediation. The result of present study revealed maximum increase in value of DO (127.89%) while the other parameters viz. pH (7.24%), TDS (46.77%), TS (51.00%), BOD (60.79%), COD (58.88%), EC (49.89%), Ca (45.41%), K (46.58%), Mg (43.57%), S (45.21%), P (43.73%), N (42.80%), Fe (46.30%) and Mn (47.06%) recorded a decrease in 60 days at 40% value due to absorption of nutrients during phytoremediation.

Background: Pigeonpea is second most important pulse crop grown after chickpea in India. Pigeonpea is versatile crop can be grown in vast agro climatic condition with low inputs. However, the yield is very low as compared to the potential yield as grown in rainfed condition, the drip fertigation and mulching can increase resource use efficiency. Both these techniques are resource saving and realized maximum yield by reducing the nutrient and water losses as compared to conventional practices. Methods: The experiment was laid out in factorial complete randomized block design and replicated thrice. The experiment consisted of two levels of irrigation (0.50 CPE and 0.75 CPE) as one factor and three fertility levels (100% RDF, 75% RDF and 50% RDF) as second factor and two levels of mulching (without mulching and with plastic mulching 25 micron) as third factor. Result: The results revealed that higher level of irrigation (0.75 CPE) with 100 per cent RDF and with plastic mulching recorded significantly higher growth rate, seed yield and uptake of nutrients by the pigeonpea crop.
