Authors: Md. Saddam Hussain  , Mohammad Salim Hossain  , Md. Mamun Or Rashid
Published: February 2022

Seed of Vigna unguiculata is commonly used as culinary in Bangladesh and many parts of the world. Besides this, seed of V. unguiculata possesses some medicinal values like being an antioxidant etc. In this study, seeds of V. unguiculata were used to determine the link between its total phenolic content and lipid lowering activity. Phytochemicals presents in the seeds were evaluated. Total phenolic content (TPC) was determined by using folin-ciocalteu method. High fat diet induced obese mice were used for anti-obesity and antihyperlipidemic test. Body weight gain, total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were analyzed. Preliminary phytochemical screening showed that amino acid, phenol, alkaloid and terpenes were very strongly present in cowpea seed, while carbohydrate, cardiac glycoside, was moderately present. The V. unguiculata seeds showed significant total phenolic content with a value of 119.716mg of GAE/gm equivalent. Cowpea seeds, with a dose of 400mg/kg body-weight, showed significant reduction in body weight gain when treated with fat diet compared with normal diet. Cowpea seeds are also capable of lowering the serum cholesterol (p < 0.01) and serum triglyceride level (p < 0.01) more significantly in high fat diet induced obesity. V. unguiculata seeds have a significantly high total phenolic content while the other phytochemicals are moderately present in them. It has anti-obesity activity that can interfere with serum cholesterol and triglyceride metabolism. So, it seems like a healthy diet for the management of obesity and other heart related disease.

Intervenciones programáticas y bioeconomía: repensar la viabilidad del maguey
Authors: Roldán Cruz Edgar Iván , Chavarria Miranda Hugo , Cano de la Rosa Jessica
Published: February 2022

El texto fundamenta la posible rentabilidad y sustentabilidad de la planta del maguey a partir del criterio biomasa y senderos de negocio, todo ello en el contexto de las disimiles lógicas de intervención, trasferencia y ciencia que se han aplicado alrededor de la planta. La revisión bibliográfica pertinente y la guía para la identificación y análisis de las posibilidades de negocios de la bioeconomía son los principales insumos necesarios para lograr tal finalidad. Así pues, es posible afirmar, pese a que el maguey aguamiel/pulque quizás desde la época colonial es la planta mayor estudiada (ligada al pasado indígena), hoy en día gravita en su última fase programática, de incidencia, sobrevivencia y preservación de saberes culturales. Más aún, el texto demuestra que aparte del pulque, es factible que el futuro del maguey abrase su multifuncionalidad y su carácter polifacético, sinergia que otorgará sin duda viabilidad de negocio al productor promedio, máxime en minimizar el factor tiempo de madurez versus desinterés por cultivar la planta.

RESEARCH OF THE INTELLIGENT RESOURCE SECURITY OF THE NANOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INNOVATION PARADIGM
Authors: Ostapenko Tetiana , Britchenko Igor , Lošonczi Peter
Published: February 2022

The resources and resource potential of the innovative component of nanoeconomics are analyzed. The factors of production – classical types of resources such as land, labor, capital and technology – are described. Ways of influencing the security resources of nanoeconomics within the innovation paradigm are evaluated. The purpose of the study is to identify the factor of nanoeconomics in the formation of resource security potential in the innovation paradigm. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set: to characterize the importance of the land resource as a factor in the potential of economic nanosystems; to highlight the importance of capital as a factor of nanoproduction and an indicator of the innovation paradigm; to determine the labor resource in the development of innovative nanosystems; to analyze the intellectual potential of nanoeconomic development of the innovation paradigm; to identify clusters of innovative nanopotential in the regions of countries with transition economies. Each resource is examined separately with the first analysis of a resource security assessment such as land. The other resource under consideration is labor. Demographic factors become decisive in describing the development of labor resources. The capital factor allows the formation of independent economic systems, when the state budget affects the possibility of developing science, education and health care. A number of methods were applied during the study: methods of induction and deduction (to assess the importance of the innovation paradigm for the development of nanoeconomics); system analysis and structural approach (to determine the aggregate state of production factors); method of comparing the quality of production factors in market economies and in developed countries; an observation method (for assessing the state of resources in different countries); method of cluster analysis (to determine the existence of innovation-territorial regions in countries with economies in transition). The analysis is carried out to identify the conditions of the impact of production factors on the innovative paradigm of nanoeconomics. It reveals theoretical approaches to the formation of nanoeconomics and its active development. As a result of the study of intellectual and resource potential of security, a cluster analysis was carried out to assess the conditions for the formation of innovation-territorial regions. This study allows to understand the role of production security factors in the formation of the innovation paradigm and the efficiency of the development of nanoeconomics. The way of providing the basis for the development of nanoeconomics in the form of efficient use of production factors is considered as a perspective.

Published: February 2022

The study found that globalization has no effect on the content of monopoly capital, which has changed its form because of the existence of the process of transnationalization. The growth of transnational corporations not only increases the interaction with the state in the modern process of globalization. Minimization of negative consequences of transnational corporations in the consumer market, ensuring food security of the country involves the implementation of the strategy of import substitution and reasonable protectionism. This triggers the modernization of foreign economic strategies, improves institutional and organizational and economic efforts of state regulation to ensure protection of the borders of the consumer market. Here targets are defined: growth of own production; increase in investment demand; increase in non-resource exports through exports of high-tech, knowledge-intensive goods and services; intensification of measures within the system of comprehensive export support.

Published: February 2022

The effect of proportional blend of periwinkle and African star apple seed shell as bio-fillers in flexible polyether foam was studied. Flexible polyether foam samples incorporated with these bio-fillers at varying percentages; 10% (S1), 20% (S2), 30% (S3), 40% (S4) and 50% (S5) were produced respectively, while 0% (S0) which had no filler was used as control during the experiment. The mechanical properties of the produced foam samples were determined via density, compression set, indentation hardness, tensile strength and elongation at break tests. The cream time, rise time and height of the foam as parameters for characterising the produced foam samples were determined too. Flammability test was also carried out.The microstructure of the foam samples was analysed as well by using the scanning electron microscope. The results of the experiment showed that the density of the foam samples progressively increased from 19.20 (S0) – 26.45 (S5) as the quantity of the filler increased. The indentation hardness result also showed an increase on addition of the filler. The foam’s loading ability also increased on incorporation of the filler but S3 showed remarkable recovery after compression. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the foam decreased on addition of the filler. The morphological analysis ascertained the effect of the progressive introduction of the filler on the surface morphology of the foam. The flammability of the foam was found to decrease as the filler load increased. Since these fillers are of organic origin, readily available, cheap and eco-friendly, they provide a means of making biodegradable foam, and reducing the flammability of foam. Thus, reducing environmental pollution whilst enhancing the mechanical property of foam.

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Traditionally, Mimosa pudica Linn. (Fabaceae) is used for its anti-inflammatory, sedative, anxiolytic, antioxidant and antifatigue properties. Aim: To determine the antifatigue effects of Mimosa pudica aqueous extracts in experimental model of weight loaded force swimming test. Materials and methods: Mice were divided into seven groups and treated for 28 consecutive days as follows: groups one and two received orally distilled water (10 mL/kg) and served as normal group and negative control group, respectively. Groups three to six, (test groups) received orally graded doses of Mimosa pudica (20, 40, 80 and 160 mg/kg) and group seven (positive control) received vitamin C (50 mg/kg), respectively. One hour after the treatment, mice were subjected to the weight loaded force swimming test with tail load, except for the normal group; and the swimming duration, body weight, food and water intake were measured. Twenty-four hours after the last treatment the serum level of noradrenaline, dopamine and serotonin, and the relative organs weight were measured. Results: Mimosa pudica aqueous extracts significantly and dose-dependently increased the swimming duration and the weight of heart and lungs. The extracts did not induce a significant variation in the level of food and water intake, body weight, and serum of noradrenaline, dopamine and serotonin. Conclusion: Pretreatment of mice with Mimosa pudica aqueous extracts was observed to have better antifatigue properties mediated via amelioration of swimming capacity and physical aptitude in the weight loaded force swimming model.

Snapshot of the Carbon Dioxide Removal Certification and Standards Ecosystem (2021-2022)
Authors: Arcusa Stephanie , Sprenkle-Hyppolite Starry
Published: February 2022

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) will be necessary to fulfil the hundreds of pledges to reach net-zero by 2050. As with any industry, standard methodologies and certification are crucial to guarantee successful and reliable activities. However, buyers and policymakers currently face challenges in evaluating the ecosystem of CDR certification. The issue is not with CDR, nor with individual certifications – some of which may be very robust – but with the lack of transparency in the overall ecosystem. To bring some clarity, we present a snapshot of the CDR certification and standards ecosystem for the year 2021-2022. We find a complex ecosystem with at least 30 standard developing organizations proposing at least 125 standard methodologies for carbon removal from 23 different CDR activities and selling 27 different versions of certification instruments in voluntary and compliance markets. This exercise reveals many more existing standards for nature-based than for engineering-based activities and more diversity from standards serving the voluntary rather than the compliance market. It also highlights a proliferation of standards for the same activity, and a plethora of activities without standards. The process revealed ambiguity on what constitutes carbon removal, with many standards certifying activities that remove CO2 already in the environment as well as activities that avoid or reduce new emissions by sequestering the carbon into reservoirs. This mapping highlights key gaps and potential starting points for reforms to strengthen the CDR certification industry; it also underscores the need for independent oversight.

This note assesses the options available to translate legal text for socio-legal research. We evaluate three tools—DeepL, Google, Microsoft—and assess each one’s ability to translate similar legal content enacted by the Brazilian, Chinese, French, Japanese, and Mexican governments. We demonstrate that machine translators are reliable and effective, particularly at higher levels of generality. They are fallible, however, and each is prone to making critical errors that may jeopardize research. We show that employing human translators to edit automated translations produces high-quality translations in one-third the time and at a fraction of the cost. This methodological contribution promises to enrich socio-legal research by establishing a translation protocol that is affordable, rigorous yet simple, and transparent. We propose that scholars use this method for comparative socio-legal research.

Social exclusion has a myriad of negative effects on students’ psychological and social well-being. One way to combat such negative effects is to raise awareness about social exclusion in schools. Here, we describe and evaluate a training program that was carried out across schools in the Netherlands. The program relies on basic experiential learning principles and a well-established social exclusion paradigm to make participants experience and discuss social exclusion. We had three goals in the current paper: (1) discussing previous work supporting the feasibility of such programs, (2) presenting a secondary analysis of the data generated by the program, and finally (3) testing a core assumption of Temporal Need-threat Model of Ostracism (Williams, 2009). The analyses are based on 14,065 participants (ages 12 to 19) and a subset of those who evaluated the program later (n = 386). Our review of the literature supports the feasibility of the program in raising awareness about social exclusion. The results of the secondary data analyses further corroborate this finding and, importantly, offer preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of the program. Lastly, stressing a core assumption of the ostracism model, the results indicated that the experience of ostracism was not substantially altered by the characteristics of the participants such as age and gender.
Motivational factors were more important than perceived risk or optimism for compliance to infection control measures in the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic

Compliance to infection control measures may be influenced both by the fear of negative consequences of a pandemic, but also by the expectation to be able to handle the pandemic’s challenges. We performed a survey on a representative sample for Norway (N = 4,083) in the first weeks of the COVID-19 lock-down in March 2020. We had preregistered hypotheses to test the effect of optimism and perceived risk on compliance. Perceived risk had small effects on increasing compliance and on leading to more careful information gathering. The expected negative association between optimism and compliance was not supported, and there was instead a small positive association. We found a small effect that optimism was associated with seeing less risk from the pandemic and with a larger optimistic bias. Finally, an exploratory analysis showed that seeing the infection control measures as being effective in protecting others explained a substantial proportion of the variation in compliance. The study indicates that how we think about pandemic risk has complex and non-intuitive relationships with compliance. Our beliefs and motivations toward infection control measures appears to be important for compliance.

Objective: Generalization of conditioned fear is adaptive in some situations but maladaptive when fear excessively generalizes to innocuous stimuli with incidental resemblance to a genuine threat cue. Recently, empirical interest in fear generalization as a transdiagnostic explanatory mechanism underlying anxiety-related disorders has accelerated. As there are now several studies of fear generalization across multiple types of anxiety-related disorders, the authors conducted a meta-analysis of studies reporting behavioral measures (subjective ratings and psychophysiological indices) of fear generalization in anxiety-related disorder vs. comparison groups.Method: We conducted systematic searches of electronic databases (conducted from January-October 2020) for fear generalization studies involving anxiety-related disorder groups or subclinical analogue groups. A total of 300 records were full-text screened and two unpublished datasets were obtained, yielding 16 studies reporting behavioral fear generalization. Random-effects meta-analytic models and meta-regressions were applied to the behavioral data.Results: Fear generalization was significantly heightened in anxiety-related disorder participants (N=439) relative to comparison participants (N=428). We did not identify any significant clinical, sample, or methodological moderators. Conclusion: Heightened fear generalization is quantitatively supported as distinguishing anxiety-related disorder groups from comparison groups. Evidence suggests this effect is transdiagnostic, relatively robust to experimental or sample parameters, and that generalization paradigms are a well-supported framework for neurobehavioral investigations of learning and emotion in anxiety-related disorders. We discuss these findings in the context of prior meta-analyses and future directions and challenges for the field.
Post-extinction L-DOPA administration to reduce the return of fear in humans

The dopamine precursor L-DOPA is a promising adjunct to exposure therapy in anxiety disorders. In two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies we previously showed that a post-extinction administration of L-DOPA reduces the return of fear. However, when aiming to replicate these results outside the MRI scanner, we found weaker effects – albeit with an adjusted paradigm. In order to discern whether the discrepant results can be explained by the experimental environment (in- vs. outside MRI scanner) or the differences in the paradigms, we here replicated a previous MRI paradigm outside the MRI scanner. In total, N=50 male participants underwent fear conditioning on day 1 and extinction on day 2. We tested the effect of post-extinction L-DOPA compared to placebo administration on differential skin conductance responses (SCR) during test on day 3. In contrast to previous findings in the MRI scanner, there was no reduction of differential SCRs after L-DOPA compared to placebo intake at test. Resembling previous findings outside the MRI scanner, there was a significant relationship between differential SCRs at the end of extinction on day 2 and test on day 3 in the L-DOPA group. This relationship did, however, not differ between groups. Summarizing, our results rather speak against an effect of paradigm and in favour of an effect of MRI environment. Contextual arousal, likely to be elevated in the MRI environment, may influence the effect of L-DOPA. These findings call for future work to investigate the interaction between arousal and catecholamines in the context of extinction memory consolidation.
Systemic racism, a prime minister, and the remote Australian school system
Authors: Cornelius Karen Gayle , Cornelius-Bell Aidan
Published: February 2022

Remote Australian schools face complex contextual issues due to systemic and enduring disadvantage. The structures and systems put in place to support and provide advantage for Indigenous Australians continually fail to meet their mark due to colonial structures, policies and inability to understand remote contextual demands. In South Australia, the context of this paper, systemic disadvantage disproportionately affects Indigenous people. This article explores the contemporary colonial landscape of a remote school context, provides background on the colonial institutions which shape the interactions and services provided to people in remote Australian areas, and provides two empirical examples of the contemporary, structural, and harmful influence of policy and political figures in a remote school. By examining the politics of being a school leader, the policy background for remote Australian schools, and the unique challenges of position both in policy and physical terms, we show how contemporary racism structures and conditions the lives of young people in remote contexts today.

Plants are gifts by nature as they gives alot of benefits to human race. Medicinal herb Curcuma longa has a long history of use in medicine due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic, antimicrobial and against cancer progression. Turmeric contain two classes of secondary metabolites, Curcuminoids (curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin) and turmeric essential oils (TEO). Curcumin is an active constituent of it and is highly pleriopiotic molecule. It works as antimicrobial agent against different strains of fungus, bacteria and viruses by targeting their membrane efficiency and can active against various types of cancers by targeting molecular markers. This compound also shows drastic effects against various diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, neurodegenerative diseases and can also prevent selenium and ionizing radiations induced cataractogenesis. Bioavailability, stability and solubility power of curcumin is increasing as research expands by modifying it by functional groups or in combinational therapeutics. These effects are mediated through its regulation of various transcription factors, modulates mitochondrial functions, growth factors, inflammatory cytokines, protein kinases and other enzymes. Spoilage of food is also minimized by design of a papain that is immobilized in food packaging with curcumin is crosslinked and act as antimicrobial. Curcumin as natural medicinal compound is a novel targeted agent of modern era as it shows beneficial effects in different health perspectives without giving comparatively any side effects. Research reveals that it also has capability to target stem cells, restores immune system and activate self-renewal pathways. This component is easily available, safe and target different diseases at molecular level to eradicate it.
