Enhancement to four-node quadrilateral plate elements by using cell-based smoothed strains and higher-order shear deformation theory for nonlinear analysis of composite structures
Authors: That-Hoang Lan T , Nguyen-Van Hieu , Chau-Dinh Thanh , Huynh-Van Chau
Published: September 2018

This paper improves four-node quadrilateral plate elements by using cell-based strain smoothing enhancement and higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) for geometrically nonlinear analysis of composite structures. Small strain-large displacement theory of von Kármán is used in nonlinear formulations of four-node quadrilateral plate elements that have strain components smoothed or averaged over the sub-domains of the elements. From the divergence theory, the displacement gradients in the smoothed strains are transformed from the area integral into the line one. The behavior of composite structures follows the third-order shear deformation theory. The solution of the nonlinear equilibrium equations is obtained by the iterative method of Newton–Raphson with the appropriate convergence criteria. The present numerical results are compared with the other numerical results available in the literature in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed element. These results also contribute a better knowledge and understanding of nonlinear bending behaviors of these composite structures.
Self-management support? Listening to people with complex co-morbidities
Authors: Francis Helen , Carryer Jenny , Wilkinson Jill
Published: September 2018

Objectives

The study aimed to explore how people with complex, established co-morbidities experience long-term condition care in New Zealand. Despite the original conception as appropriate for people with early stage disease, in New Zealand the self-management approach dominates the care provided to people at all stages of diagnosis with long-term conditions, something reinforced through particular funding mechanisms.

Methods

A multiple case study followed the lives of 16 people with several long-term conditions. Data collection comprised two interviews, four weekly contacts with patients over an 18-month period and an interview with their primary health care clinicians.

Results

This paper reveals a cohort of tired, distracted patients struggling to manage their lives in the face of multiple conflicting challenges, with insufficient energy for the level of personal agency required to deal with the self-management approach.

Discussion

Participants described aspects of care received, which does meet their needs but sit outside the self-management approach, that resonate with the ideas behind current approaches to palliative care. The potential of an approach to care built upon these ideas is explored as a more compassionate, effective way of meeting the needs of people with advanced, multiple long-term conditions. Further research is warranted to explore the acceptability of such an approach.
Language, Media, and Ideology: Critical Discourse Analysis of Pakistani News Bulletin Headlines and Its Impact on Viewers
Authors: Hassan Aaminah
Published: September 2018

Television is a penetrating medium, capable of creating false consciousness among the viewers. The present study examines the ideological constructions in Pakistani news bulletin headlines and their impact on the viewers. This research has explicated the ideological constructions through Fairclough’s framework for critical discourse analysis (CDA) by applying it to the electronic media news headlines and comparing three different Pakistani news channels. Extensive text as well as selective intertextual and sociocultural analyses have been carried out along with the assessment of the impact of news headlines on viewers through a questionnaire. The analysis of the news headlines reveal that Pakistani news headlines are infused with varying ideologies and power relations, while the responses of the viewers reveal their dislike for entertainment-oriented, exaggerated, unfair, and moderately informative headlines of news channels. It is hoped that current study would help in the promotion of media literacy among viewers and media authorities in Pakistan.
Inhibiting aberrant p53-PUMA feedback loop activation attenuates ischaemia reperfusion-induced neuroapoptosis and neuroinflammation in rats by downregulating caspase 3 and the NF-κB cytokine pathway
Authors: Li Xiao-Qian , Yu Qian , Chen Feng-Shou , Tan Wen-Fei , Zhang Zai-Li , Ma Hong
Published: September 2018

Background

Ischaemia reperfusion (IR) induces multiple pathophysiological changes. In addition to its classical role in regulating tumourigenesis, the feedback loop formed by p53 and its driven target p53-upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA) was recently demonstrated to be the common node tightly controlling various cellular responses during myocardial IR. However, the roles of the p53-PUMA feedback loop in the spinal cord remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the roles of p53-PUMA feedback interactions in the spinal cord after IR, specifically investigating their regulation of caspase 3-mediated apoptosis and nuclear factor (NF)-κB-mediated cytokine release.

Methods

SD rats subjected to 12 min of aortic arch occlusion served as IR models. Neurological assessment as well as p53 and PUMA mRNA and protein expression analyses were performed at 12-h intervals during a 48-h reperfusion period. The cellular distributions of p53 and PUMA were determined via double immunofluorescence staining. The effects of the p53-PUMA feedback loop on modulating hind-limb function; the number of TUNEL-positive cells; and protein levels of caspase 3, NF-κB and cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, were evaluated by intrathecal treatment with PUMA-specific or scramble siRNA and pifithrin (PFT)-α. Blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) breakdown was examined by Evans blue (EB) extravasation and water content analyses.

Results

IR induced significant behavioural deficits as demonstrated by deceased Tarlov scores, which displayed trends opposite those of PUMA and p53 protein and mRNA expression. Upregulated PUMA and p53 fluorescent labels were widely distributed in neurons, astrocytes and microglia. Injecting si-PUMA and PFT-α exerted significant anti-apoptosis effects as shown by the reduced number of TUNEL-positive cells, nuclear abnormalities and cleaved caspase 3 levels at 48 h post-IR. Additionally, p53 colocalized with NF-κB within the cell. Similarly, injecting si-PUMA and PFT-α exerted anti-inflammatory effects as shown by the decreased NF-κB translocation and release of IL-1β and TNF-α. Additionally, injecting si-PUMA and PFT-α preserved the BSCB integrity as determined by decreased EB extravasation and spinal water content. However, injecting si-Con did not induce any of the abovementioned effects.

Conclusions

Inhibition of aberrant p53-PUMA feedback loop activation by intrathecal treatment with si-PUMA and PFT-α prevented IR-induced neuroapoptosis, inflammatory responses and BSCB breakdown by inactivating caspase 3-mediated apoptosis and NF-κB-mediated cytokine release.

Corporate Culture: a key to stimulate innovation
Authors: Viltard Leandro Adolfo , Acebo Mario N.
Published: September 2018

The continual and increasingly accelerated changes in the market -boosted by structural processes such as globalization, the opening of markets and the growing customers’ demand- constantly raises the competitive requirements that companies must face. Likewise, the uncertainties, risks and threats that this context poses urge firms to seek new strategies in order to survive and succeed. In this search, innovation emerges as a key tool, capable of boosting and maintaining levels of competitiveness. The main hypothesis of this work is that the development of an appropriate business culture is a valid alternative to stimulate innovative performance within companies. One of the fundamental conclusions of this study is that those companies which have not yet found a way to develop innovation have a disadvantage compared to others in the world. That is why it is necessary to develop entrepreneurial cultures that favor the creation and commercial exploitation of novel ideas capable of generating sustainable competitive advantages. As a result, leaders must take the responsibility of setting new behaviors and managerial practices. The study is exploratory-descriptive, with a qualitative methodology. It was based on the bibliographical revision of specialists on the subject.

Authors: Kaimieva O. S. , Danilova V. V. , Buyanova E. S. , Petrova S. A. , Nikolaenko I. V.
Published: September 2018

Samples of La0.95Bi0.05Mn1-yCuyO3+δ (у=0.1-0.4) were prepared by solid-state synthesis. Additionally, the sample with nominal composition La0.95Bi0.05Mn0.7Cu0.3O3+δ was obtained using citrate-nitrate method. It was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis that the compounds have rhombohedral (space group R-3c) or orthorhombic (space group Pbnm) structure, depending on the composition. Single-phase compounds are synthesized at у=0.1; 0.2. The investigation using scanning electron microscope showed that the grain sizes for the samples sintered using different techniques are close to each other because of the high calcination temperature. For the sample with orthorhombic structure the phase transition into rhombohedral one was found around 390 °С by means of dilatometry. Thermal expansion coefficient of the sample La0.95Bi0.05Mn0.7Cu0.3O3+δ is equal to 6·10-6 K-1 (T 390 °C) and 15·10-6 K-1 (T 390 °C). The composite materials of substituted lanthanum manganites with Bi4V1.7Fe0.3O11-δ and Bi7Nb1.8Zr0.2O15.5-δ solid electrolytes were obtained at 650 °C. The electrical conductivity values for the latter one are by three orders of magnitude higher than for pure bismuth niobate.
Commodifying the followers or challenging the mainstream? The two-sided potential of curvy fashion bloggers
Authors: Pedroni Marco Luca , Pofi Maria Paola
Published: September 2018

Digital influencers and fashion blogging are the subject of a growing interest as a pattern of both production and consumption of digital culture. This essay examines the process of co-evolution of digital influencers and audiences by taking into consideration the work of female curvy fashion bloggers. It is argued that, although plus-size social media influencers may play a counter-hegemonic role by conveying alternative narratives regarding body and beauty, many curvy blogs are not significantly different to ”standard” female outfit blogs, in which an audience is commodified as a source of material income and symbolic capital. Digital influencers, therefore, work as examples of co-opted audiences able to enhance further processes of co-option. The article also studies the social media influencers’ relationships with their audiences, focusing attention on the manner through which the blogger produces, develops and maintains this relationship. Cultural studies and political economy perspectives on public are discussed to contextualize the analysis of curvy blogs, as fashion studies have so far shown a limited interest in audience as an issue. The qualitative empirical material of the essay, made of 15 semi-structured interviews with female curvy bloggers and the content analysis of 40 curvy blogs, is analysed according to a grounded theory framework. Three main theoretical dimensions are discussed: the blogger’s career, success and professionalization, their faceted role in the process of audience shaping and the (reframed) narratives of beauty and body they spread. Drawing on a typology of curvy bloggers, the antinomy between “commodifying the audience” and “challenging the mainstream” is presented as a misleading way of interpreting the phenomenon, as the commercialisation of attention and the engagement of followers work as powerful and connected poles of a continuum.

Background: Diabetic retinopathy affects majority (70% to 90%) of diabetic patients, causes visual impairment which leads to severe psycho-social disruption in life. Our objective was to study the patients of diabetic retinopathy, co-relate between the types of diabetic retinopathy and the extent of psychosocial impairment in these patients.Methods: Data of the diabetic patients attending the Retina Clinic of C.H. Nagri Eye Hospital, Ahmedabad was collected using a pretested questionnaire. It included ocular history, history related to diabetes, data of ocular examination and type of retinopathy (if present). For psycho-social assessment, the patients were asked to fill the validated Gujarati language version of “General Health Questionnaire -28 (GHQ 28).” Selfscoring was done ranging from 0-1-2-3 (lower to higher disability respectively). Analysis of significance was carried out by Mann-Whitney Test using statistical software.Results: Total 308 patients were studied. The subjects were divided into 3 groups: (A) Diabetes mellitus type-2 (DM-2) patients without retinopathy. (B) DM-2 patients having non-proliferative retinopathy (C) DM-2 patients having proliferative retinopathy. According to the accepted scoring pattern of GHQ-28 (cut of point 25), it was observed that 80.26% of patients having non-proliferative retinopathy in both eyes and 93.75% patients having proliferative retinopathy in both eyes were psychosocially impaired. The impairment was found to be more severe in proliferative retinopathy patients as compared to non-proliferative retinopathy patients. (p value <0.005) (mean GHQ score in PDR=41.88 >NPDR = 35.74). It was also found that in DM-2 patients without retinopathy the average mean score was 25.22 which showed less impairment (p value <0.005).Conclusions: Patients of Diabetic Retinopathy had more psychosocial impairment which shows its significant impact on quality of life and overall health. Psychiatric counselling must be given to the impaired patients to decrease the impact of the disease on the psychosocial aspect of health. It is necessary to decrease the psychosocial suffering along with the control of disease.

Ethiopian highland bamboo is a multipurpose and a fast growing plant that supports local livelihoods in many ways. It is a source of food, fodder, furniture, textile raw material, building material, industrial inputs, fuel and other purposes in Ethiopia. Physical properties are considered to be important factors in determining the suitability of bamboo for various applications. A sufficient knowledge of the physical properties of bamboo ensures safe design for materials used in service.  In this study, Effects of age and height on the basic density, moisture content, wall thickness and culm diameter of Ethiopian highland bamboo (Yushinia alpina) were studied on 2, 3 and 4 years-old bamboo. The result of the study show that four years old bamboo had the highest moisture content and wall thickness and the lowest density and culm diameter. Density and culm diameter did not show significant difference between 2, 3, and 4 years of old bamboo. However, variation in moisture content and wall thickness were observed between the three age groups. Density had greatest in bottom and lowest, in the top. There is no variation of moisture content, wall thickness and culm diameter at different height positions (Bottom, Middle and Top).

O professor na primeira república no Pará: notas sobre seu papel e função na relação família x escola
Authors: Pantoja Suellem Martins , Damasceno Alberto
Published: September 2018

Neste artigo, buscamos compreender a ideia disseminada sobre o professor no período da Primeira República, bem como sobre o papel que este exercia na relação entre a família e a escola a partir do Regulamento Escolar do Ensino Primário, do ano 1890, e dos artigos de H. de Sant’Anna na Revista de Educação e Ensino, que circulava no Pará em 1894. Ele resulta de uma pesquisa documental e bibliográfica, e analisa preliminarmente os preceitos que regulamentavam o ensino nesse período, que apontavam para a formação de cidadãos para o progresso da nação, funcionando a educação como um mecanismo de difusão do ideário republicano. Neste sentido, o professor não poderia se portar na escola e na sociedade como um “cidadão qualquer”, de modo que o Regulamento Escolar do Ensino Primário e os esritos de Sant’Anna chegam a explicitar regras de comportamento moral e social que ultrapassariam os limites da escola. Ao mestre, caberia a tarefa de ser um propagador e fiscalizador dos novos hábitos e regras no ambiente escolar, baseado no ideal de professor projetado pelo regulamento de ensino e pela imprensa educacional da época, que estava ligado a um projeto político — o de implementação do ideal republicano. Neste sentido, o professor era tido como um mestre da vida cidadã, titular de uma profissão tida e sabida como sacerdócio, cabendo-lhe forjar o futuro da nação brasileira, sobretudo cultivando nas crianças o sentimento de amor à pátria e à República. Palavras-chave: Primeira República.

Descrição dos frutos nativos utilizados na alimentação do povo indígena Rikbaktsa
Authors: Utumy Edson , Leão Marcelo Franco
Published: September 2018

Com o intuito de registrar os conhecimentos tradicionais e científicos sobre a alimentação do povo indígena Rikbaktsa, este estudo tem como objetivo descrever as características básicas dos frutos nativos utilizados na alimentação dos Rikbaktsa e a maneira como ocorre esse consumo. Trata-se de um estudo etnográfico, desenvolvido no período de 2014 a 2016, que envolveu as três Terras Indígenas: Erikpatsa, Japuíra e Escondido, localizadas nos municípios mato-grossenses de Brasnorte, Juara, Cotriguaçu, respectivamente. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas com os anciãos de diferentes comunidades, além das observações a campo sobre os frutos comestíveis disponíveis na região. Os frutos foram desenhados e posteriormente descritos quanto à época de colheita e a maneira como são consumidos. O estudo permitiu descrever 32 frutos nativos comestíveis do povo Rikbaktsa. Essa variedade encontrada pode estar relacionada ao fato de o território investigado comportar parte de cerrado, bem como possuir área de floresta amazônica. Foi possível identificar os nomes de cada fruto na língua materna, popular e científico e a sazonalidade desses frutos. Quanto à maneira de preparo, constatou-se que alguns deles servem para comer assim que retirado do pé, outros ficam guardados durante três ou mais dias a fim de amadurecer, outros são cozidos, outros servem para fazer suco ou chicha (bebida fermentada). O estudo permitiu registrar características dos frutos nativos é uma maneira de preservar a cultura e fortalecer os costumes para que não sejam esquecidos. Espera-se que esse artigo sirva como fonte de consulta às futuras gerações, indígenas e não indígenas. Palavras-chave: Alimentação. Modo de consumo. Povo tradicional.

Published: September 2018

Este artigo está dividido em duas partes, no primeiro momento discute os aspectos históricos-normativos da educação especial no Brasil desde as primeiras iniciativas de institucionalização implementadas no período imperial até os dias atuais. No segundo momento, mapeia por meio de levantamento e da exploração dos dados extraídos do Censo escolar, INEP, de 1998 a 2016, o total de matrículas na educação especial em escolas especializadas e classes especiais, por etapas e modalidade de ensino. A pesquisa pode ser classificada como do tipo exploratória, cuja principal finalidade é proporcionar uma visão geral do cenário da educação especial no Brasil. As “fronteiras” de uma política pública são sempre suscetíveis de serem postas em questão, através de um processo constante de redefinição dos limites dos campos políticos e do contexto histórico de cada época, como nos alertam Muller e Surel (2001). Assim, para o século XXI, o atendimento às pessoas com deficiência é empreendido com base no novo modelo denominado inclusivo no qual a ideia defendida é a de que não é a pessoa com deficiência que deve se adaptar à escola, mas as instituições escolares que devem ser capazes de oferecer condições de acesso e permanência para todos. Palavras-chave: Políticas Públicas. Educação Especial. Matrículas.
¿De qué hablamos cuando hablamos de energía? Una aproximación a las nuevas culturas terapéuticas desde la sociología del conocimiento
Authors: Bordes Mariana
Published: September 2018

El artículo explora los múltiples modos en que los actores sociales interpretan y hacen uso de una noción que, en el marco de diferentes investigaciones en el campo de la ciencias sociales, han registrado como una de las creencias más extendidas en la población argentina –y latinoamericana-: la “energía”. Desde el enfoque de la sociología del conocimiento, e inscribiéndose en un debate académico que discute y analiza las transacciones de sentido existentes entre diferentes marcos interpretativos, el presente trabajo ofrece una clasificación que hace foco en tres vectores significativos: (a) la energía como categoría metafísica, (b) la energía como categoría moral y (c) la energía como categoría –pasible de ser definida en clave- científica. En este marco se enfatiza que, en tanto categoría de conocimiento, la fortaleza del término “energía” se encuentra dada por su versatilidad en la tarea de dotar de significado a procesos y realidades disímiles, en virtud de su capacidad de ser investida de múltiples significados. El artículo se sustenta en una investigación de tesis doctoral, de enfoque cualitativo e interpretativo, a través de entrevistas en profundidad a usuarios y especialistas pertenecientes a un espacio terapéutico en particular: el de la reflexología podal.
Memorias territorializadoras y de reivindicación identitaria-territorial
Authors: Manzanelli Macarena Del Pilar
Published: September 2018

En este trabajo busco reflexionar sobre las nociones de temporalidad que intervienen en las prácticas territorializadoras-colectivas y de formulación de políticas de identidad por parte de miembros de dos comunidades del Pueblo-Nación Diaguita en Tucumán (Valle de Choromoro, Argentina) en contextos de conflictos y luchas territoriales. Privilegiaré la noción de memorias a fin de pensar críticamente cómo se (re)define la relación pasado- presente en distintas actividades y relatos realizadas por ellos en pos de la reivindicación de derechos territoriales. ¿Qué evocan están memorias?; ¿conforman una temporalidad alterna a la pretendida por la historia oficial del “estado como nación” (Briones, 2005)?; ¿(re)significan ideas de tiempos que cuestionen a las del orden hegemónico?

Pelaksanaan Pengelolaan Hutan Kemasyarakatan (HKM) di Desa Bukit Indah, Bulukumba: Batasan dan Kemungkinan
Authors: Tangngareng Tasmin , Ridha Muhammad
Published: September 2018

Abstract : This paper describes the policy of the implementation of Community-Based Forest Management program (CBFM) in Bulukumba district. CBFM Program consists of policies regarding Forest Villages, Community Forests and Community Plantation Forests. In these schemes, CBFM concept is applied in different region and different case. Research location for this paper is in Bulukumba, the location of the implementation of Community Forest to some Forest Farmers Group. The results found that CBFM scheme, which is the process of power transfer, devolution of forest resources to local users, has its own limitations and possibilities. The program was running well within the context of improvement of tenure security of forest communities, but on the other hand, this scheme does not have the authority to reform the structure of forest land tenure that has already crippled and been confirmed by this CBFM scheme. Keywords : Community Base Forest Management, Comunity Forest, DevolutionIntisari : Tulisan ini ingin menggambarkan kebijakan pelaksanaan program Community Base Forest Manajement (CBFM) dalam pengelolaan hutan di kabupaten Bulukumba. Program CBFM ini terdiri dari kebijakan mengenai Hutan desa, Hutan Kemasyarakatan dan Hutan Tanaman Rakyat. Dalam skema-skema inilah konsep CBFM ini diaplikasikan di masing-masing wilayah dan case yang berbeda-beda. Lokasi penelitian untuk tulisan ini dilakukan di Kabupaten Bulukumba, lokasi penerapan Hutan Kemasyarakatan kepada beberapa Kelompok Tani Hutan.

Abstract: The judiciary plays an important role in settling land disputes, nonetheless, the function of the judiciary is still part of the complexity of land/agrarian issues. Settlement of land issues through the General Court, State Administrative Court (TUN) and/or Religious Court is considered not to guarantee legal certainty. The authority of different judicial bodies in the settlement of land cases must be understood on the basis of their respective legal issues. Administrative court authority to adjudicate land disputes with administrative dimensionsIntisari: Badan peradilan memegang peranan penting dalam penyelesaian permasalahan pertanahan, namun selama ini fungsi badan peradilan masih menjadi bagian dari kompleksitas permasalahan pertanahan/agraria. Penyelesaian permasalahan pertanahan melalui Peradilan Umum, Peradilan Tata Usaha Negara (PERATUN) dan/atau Peradilan Agama dianggap tidak menjamin kepastian hukum. Kewenangan badan peradilan yang berbeda-beda dalam penyelesaian kasus pertanahan tentunya harus dipahami berdasarkan permasalahan hukumnya masing-masing. Kewenangan Peratun adalah mengadili sengketa pertanahan yang berdimensi administrasi

Patients with chronic subdural hematoma encounter certain difficulties in diagnosis, especially in elderly, due to the characteristically non-specific symptoms and signs. Early diagnosis and proper operative treatment, on the other hand, results in complete recovery in most of the cases. In this study, the clinical features and factors of 31 patients with chronic subdural hematoma, associated with the thickness of chronic subdural hematoma were analyzed. The mean age was 62 ± 13.9 years. The maximum hematoma thickness in the axial CT scan was 25 mm. The thickness of hematoma obtained from axial plain CT had a positive relationship with the patient’s age where r=0.895 and p<0.001 signifies that the thickness of hematoma increased with the increasing age. But the hematoma thickness was not related to co-morbidity such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and ischemic heart disease. The presentation of the patient with higher hematoma thickness with hemiparesis was statistically significant and with lower thickness with headache and vomiting.

The aim of our study is to evaluate the clinical and functional outcome following lumbar laminoplasty with posterior element reconstruction with mini-plate and screws for multilevel lumbar canal stenosis. This study was done on 40 patients (18 males and 22 females) of degenerative multilevel lumber canal stenosis patients underwent open double door lumbar laminoplasty with posterior element reconstruction with mini-plate and screws from January 2015 to June 2018. Thirty four patients underwent surgery for 2 level involvement and 6 underwent for 3 level involvement of lumbar canal stenosis. The mean post-operative hospital stay was 5.2 ± 1.1 days. Per-operative complication was dural tear in 2 cases. Pre-operative mean VAS score of back pain and leg pain were 7.0 ± 0.7 and 7.2 ± 1.1 which were significantly reduced to 1.0 ± 0.2 and 1.0 ± 0.8 respectively at final follow-up. All patients were followed-up for minimum 1 year. Pre-operative mean Japanese Orthopedic Association score was 8.6 ± 2.2 which was significantly increased to 14.8 ± 0.4 after 12 months of surgery. Pre-operative mean Oswestry Disability Index was 34.4 ± 3.0 which was significantly reduced to 8.5 ± 2.2 after 12 months of surgery. The outcome of lumbar laminoplasty with posterior element reconstruction with mini-plate and screws for multilevel lumbar canal stenosis show good result and can be one of the good option for the treatment for multilevel lumbar canal stenosis.

Published: September 2018

If for any total dominating set D with ν ∈ V (G) − D there exists a vertex u ∈ D such that uν ∈ E (G) and |d(ν)−d(u)| ≤ 1 then D is called the total equitable dominating set. The minimum cardinality of the total equitable dominating set is called the total equitable domination number denoted by γet (G). The bondage number b(G) of a nonempty graph G is the minimum cardinality among all sets of edges E0 ⊆ E(G) for which γ(G – E0) > γ(G). We introduced the concept of total equitable bondage number and proved several results.

The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of fruits extracts (Ficus hispida) on serum lipids and antioxidant status in hypercholesterolaemic rats. Hyperlipidemia was induced by feeding high fat diet for 28 days and was evidenced by elevated levels of serum triglycerides (TG), serum LDL cholesterol and decreased serum HDL cholesterol. Oxidative stress was measured by determining the activity of antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and amount of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in liver homogenate of experimental rats. In hypercholesterolaemic rats, crude methanolic extract (CME) consumption had no effect on HDL-cholesterol, yet it showed a marked hypolipidaemic action, decreasing TG and LDL-cholesterol that had been increased after consuming the high-cholesterol diet. On the other hand, the concentration of TBARS decreased significantly, indicating decreased lipid peroxidation. In addition, the activities of catalase and SOD increased significantly in liver homogenate. The above evidence suggested that CME of the fruits of this plant can be a source of natural antioxidant that can reduce the plasma lipid (cholesterol) level and also decreases the lipid peroxidation.

Thin layer chromatography (TLC), a tool for defining identity, purity, and quantitation of a compound, has also been proved useful for monitoring the progress of a chemical reaction. However, the   technique is yet to be exploited for investigating the kinetics of a reaction systematically. In this work, we used TLC for measuring the time for consumption of a reactant in Michael addition reaction of acetylacetone with 2-cyclohexene-1-one. Average rate of the model reaction was determined using a definite initial concentration of acetylacetone for a series of catalyst systems like NaOH, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), DBU based protic ionic liquids (PILs) 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene-8-ium hydroxide ([HDBU]OH) and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene-8-ium acetate ([HDBU]CH3COO), a DBU based aprotic ionic liquid (AIL), 8-hexyl-1,8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0]undec-7-ene-8-ium hydroxide ([C6DBU]OH), and binary systems of the ionic liquids with molecular solvents, such as, water, DBU, and acetic acid. The kinetic data on the performance of the chosen catalysts were interpreted on the basis of the established mechanism of the reaction. Finally, the prospect of the method based on TLC as a suitable technique for kinetic study of chemical reactions has been discussed.
