Kenosis in Philippians 2:6-11 and It's Implications for Church Leaders in Nigeria addressed the rising degree of leadership tussle, lack of selflessness, humility and servant attitude that characterize leadership in the church today using Jesus' kenosis viz selflessness, humility, and servant attitude to challenge them.

Published: February 2024

This paper addressed the rising degree of leadership tussle, character assassination, sometimes diabolism, materialism, and individualism in the church arising from the understanding of leadership in the church as a position and title rather than opportunity to serve. It investigated the leadership problems and lapses in the Nigerian church, investigated the kenotic life of Jesus which he expects the disciples and the Nigerian church to embody and replicate as herald of the gospel, and stimulated the practice of kenosis by the leadership of the Nigerian church. It adopted a historical-critical exegetical. One of the major findings is that for the contemporary Nigerian church to ensure effective and efficient leadership they must see Jesus as a role model of selfless service, appropriate the sacrificial model of Jesus, imbibing humility as a trait, and see leadership as an opportunity to serve. Leadership in the Nigerian church system should not be a reward for long service in the church, rather it should be preserved for people of selfless character as seen in Philippians 2:6-11. This article contributes to changing the present wrong notion of leadership among some church leaders and leaders in general as it focuses on the formula or proper model that Jesus has set as an example in Philippians 2:6-11 as well as dealing with the leadership problems in the church and the society (Nigeria).

Background: The complex problems of different chronic degenerative diseases are spreading in human health across the globe. To combat this problem, fruits are the effective gear proved by many epidemiological studies. The aim of the study was to determine the antioxidant activity and three bioactive compounds like total flavonoids, total polyphenols and total anthocyanins in 23 species of fruits available in Bangladeshi market. Methods: Antioxidant activity (AOA) and bioactive compounds of fruits were determined by UV-visible spectroscopy. Antioxidant activity was undertaken by DPPH scavenging assay, total polyphenol content (TPC) was measured by folin-ciocalteu method and total flavonoid content (TFC) content was measured by aluminium chloride colorimetric method. Results: Among 23 species of fruits, AOA was higher in Katajamin (303 mg/100 g) followed by Dragon Fruits (171 mg/100 g), Guava (131 mg/100 g), Bael (130 mg/100 g) and average value was 125 mg/100 g of extract. TPC was varied from 10 to 305 mg GAE/100 g and average value was 87 mg GAE/100 g. Mango (305 mg GAE/100 g) showed higher TPC, followed by Pome Granate (222 mg GAE/100 g), Apple (207 mg GAE/100 g), Katajamin (141 mg GAE/100 g) and Bael (130 mg GAE/100 g). Again, TFC was ranged from Ashari (06±3.94 mg QE/g) to Tomato (84±13.69 mg QE/g) and the average TFC was 37 mg QE/g. In addition, total anthocyanin content (TAC) was highest in Mango (142±3.46 mg TA/100 g) and lower in Ashari (02±0.74 mg TA/100 g). There was a significant correlation (p≤0.05) between antioxidant activity and bioactive compounds and among the bioactive compounds. Conclusion: Important messages from this study are, majority of the rare fruits are the important sources of antioxidant and bioactive compounds which helps to reduce the risk of chronic degenerative diseases and can be used in food processing industry for nutraceutical product development.

The frequency of mushroom poisoning has increased worldwide. In Thailand, reports on mycetism between 2013 and 2021 included 18 cases of Entoloma poisoning. Incorrect identification of toxic Entoloma species occurs during wild mushroom foraging, and their consumption results in gastrointestinal irritation. Morphological distinction of mushroom leftovers is difficult; however, we aimed to characterize 40 clinical samples to the genus level using macroscopic and microscopic analyses. Furthermore, species identification of the poisonous Entoloma was performed based on multi-locus phylogenetic analyses of the nuclear internal transcribed spacer region, nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA, and mitochondrial small subunit ribosomal DNA. Phylogenetic trees reconstructed using maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods demonstrated that forty samples of mushroom remnants formed eight robust clades with six identified species. The findings confirmed the taxonomic identity of E. griseolazulinum as a new record of species causing gastrointestinal poisoning. The use of molecular annotation provided a foundation for the development of accurate methods for identification of toxic mushrooms.

Authors: Pangestika Widya , Nusaibah Nusaibah , Sa'diyah Jihan Halimatus
Published: February 2024

Catfish is a popular freshwater fish and is in great demand as a consumption fish because catfish meat has a delicious taste and is quite high in calories and protein. Catfish skin as a by-product of fillet production can be used as raw material for processing chips. This research aims to determine the effect of soaking ingredients on the physical and chemical characteristics of catfish skin chips. This research was carried out by making catfish skin chips through the process of first washing, first soaking with soaking materials, second washing, second soaking in spices, drying, cutting, frying, and packed. The treatment in this research is the soaking material (in the first soaking) used. There were 4 treatments with different soaking ingredients, including: P0 (control), P1 (lime), P2 (acetic acid/vinegar), and P3 (palm vinegar). After the skin chips with the 4 treatments have been produced, quality testing is carried out on the product. Tests were carried out on yield, consumer acceptability through hedonic testing, physical characteristics of skin chips through analysis of crispness, efflorescence and oil absorption, chemical characteristics through proximate analysis, and microbial contamination through ALT analysis. Treatment P1 is known to have the highest yield, crispness, oil absorption capacity, and efflorescence ability among other treatments. Next, the products tested for chemical content are selected based on the treatment that obtains the highest level of consumer acceptance. Based on hedonic testing, it is known that P1 is the treatment most sought after by consumers. From the results of the chemical analysis that has been carried out, the ash content and protein content of fish skin chips in P1 is higher than P0, but has a lower water content than P0. The Total Plate Number (ALT) value for each catfish skin chips parameter exceeds the standard limit of SNI 7388:2009, namely 5x105 CFU/g.

Published: February 2024

Autism is dened by the association, beginning before the age of three, of a qualitative impairment in reciprocal social
interactions, and an impairment in verbal and non-verbal communication. Neuropediatric investigation of autism focuses
on the search for an underlying organic cause. In this case report, we describe a child being followed for a cluster of signs consistent with autism
spectrum disorder, with minor neurological signs. During his neuropediatric evaluation, a subarachnoid cyst was discovered in the left temporal
intracranial, exerting a mass effect on cerebral structures that could explain some of the symptoms. Our patient underwent surgery, which resulted
in a signicant improvement in the mainly minor neurological signs reported on examination. Arachnoid cysts are developmental anomalies
diagnosed in childhood. They are discovered incidentally during radiological examination and are responsible for a variety of symptoms,
particularly neurological. Surgical intervention in these cases can improve neurological symptoms, especially those linked to compression of
cerebral structures.

Authors: A. Kamble Sudarshan , Gupta Anurag
Published: February 2024

Background: Nearly 4% to 5% of all fractures, or about 25% of all humerus fractures, are proximal humerus fractures.
The Proximal Humerus Internal Locking System (PHILOS) plate was made to help prevent these problems, especially in
older people who have osteoporosis. Highly broken-up 3 and 4-part fractures can be xed with rotator cuff sutural ties and a plate, which
improves the patient's ability to use the arm. This study enlightens the functional outcome of management of the fracture of humerus involving
the proximal part, with PHILOS plate. Methodology: The present retrospective study included 50 cases of proximal humerus fractures treated
surgically with Proximal Humerus Inter Locking System (PHILOS) plate. Patients with all displaced proximal humerus fracture managed
operatively with proximal humerus locking plate with age of patient > 18 years were included. On follow-up patients were examined for local
infection, range of motion and pain and functional assessment was done using Neer score. Radiographic assessment was done and it was
corelated with functional outcomes, pain and shoulder range of motion. Out of total 50 Results: patients, 44% belong to age group 41 to 60 years
with mean age of 52.71±7.27 years. 64% were male patients. 22(44%) patients had Neer's 4-part fracture (one - nonunion) and 19(38%) had
Neer's 3-part fracture. 14% patients had excellent scores, 18% had good scores and 36% had moderate scores. Mean constant score for Neer twopart fracture was 73.41 (range 52-88), for Neer's three parts fracture was 64.58 (range 29–86) and for Neer's four parts fracture was 57.49 (range
36–77). Mean constant score for middle age group (18-40) was 73.2 (range 68–87), for old age group (41-60) was 63.5 (range 32–88) and for
very old age group 61-80 years) was 58.22 (55-62). The most common complication seen was stiffness of the shoulder in 6% (n=3) subjects
followed by avascular necrosis seen in 4% (n=2) subjects. Conclusion: Overall functional outcomes of PHILOS plates are good. Proximal
humerus locking plate is a preferred option for management of all types of Neer's fracture types of proximal humerus and fracture dislocation of
proximal humerus.

REVOLUTIONIZING CROP INSURANCE IN INDIA THROUGH THE PRISM OF PRADHAN MANTRI FASAL BIMA YOJANA (PMFBY)
Authors: Goudiperu Robin William Carey Goudiperu Robin William Carey
Published: February 2024

Crop insurance serves as a collective safety net, drawing contributions
from numerous individuals to shield a select few from the harsh blows
dealt by nature, including re, weather extremes, oods, pests, and
diseases. This nancial sanctuary is designed to rescue farmers from
the precipice of economic ruin when their crops succumb to
anticipated failure. The insured amount, a exible parameter, could
encompass the entire expenditure, a multiple thereof, or a portion of
the projected crop income. The litmus test for claims lies in the decit
between the actual yield and the promised threshold yield. The genesis
of India's foray into crop insurance traces back to the aftermath of
independence in 1947. A critical deliberation unfolded, oscillating
between an individualistic approach, compensating farmers for their
personal losses, and a communal strategy treating entire villages as
cohesive units based on shared crop production characteristics. The
latter garnered preference, yet when presented to state governments, it
encountered resolute rejection. In the annals of 1965, the Central
Government oated a mandatory Crop Insurance Bill, a proposition
met with unanimous disapproval from the states owing to the
burdensome nancial commitments it entailed. In response, an Expert
Committee was convened to scrutinize the economic, administrative,
and nancial implications. The seeds of limited experiments in crop
insurance were sown in 1972-73. Despite the imperfect iterations of
various schemes, India has maintained a publicly administered crop
insurance initiative since 1972. Nevertheless, both developed and
developing nations have grappled with challenges intrinsic to such
schemes, contending with losses and operational inefciencies.
Publicly managed crop insurance systems are often criticized for being
expensive, susceptible to moral hazards, and lacking inherent
protability
BRIDGING AYURVEDA WITH EVIDENCE BASED SCIENTIFIC APPROACHES IN VETERINARY MEDICINE AN INSIGHT – A REVIEW
Authors: D Ponnulekshmi. , Tripathy Rabinarayan.
Published: February 2024

Introduction Veterinary herbal medicines encompass plant-based treatments and their applications for therapeutic,
preventive, or diagnostic purposes in the eld of animal healthcare. The use of herbal medicines has a long history in both
human and animal healthcare, dating back thousands of years. To promote the quality of Ayurvedic drugs for veterinary use, the AYUSH
Ministry and the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD) have initiated collaborative research efforts. This initiative aims to
identify potential medicinal plant species used in veterinary medicine, establish standards for them, provide training, and raise awareness about
Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs). This article presents a critical Materials and Methods assessment of the current approaches to integrating
Ayurveda with evidence-based allied systems of medicine. It examines the quality, methodologies, and extent of scientic research in Ayurvedic
medicine. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between the Nationa Results l Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB) under the
Ministry of AYUSH and the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD) to advance research in new formulations and the quality
selection of drugs for veterinary science through medicinal herbs. This initiative encompasses capacity building, training, exploring marketing
opportunities for herbal veterinary medicines, and services related to the cultivation, preservation, and conservation of medicinal plants.
Conclusion The AYUSH Ministry will collaborate with the Department of Animal Husbandry to develop curricula and courses for AYUSH
herbal veterinary education programs. Additionally, it will identify potential medicinal plant species used in veterinary medicine, establish
standards, provide training, and create awareness programs regarding Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs), Good Field Collection Practices
(GFCPs), and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). This comprehensive approach aims to establish research and testing centers and
ultimately uplift the veterinary herbal medicine sector.
CORRELATION BETWEEN BODY COMPOSITION AND FLEXIBILITY IN HOMEBOUND ADOLESCENTS
Authors: Yadav Renu , Verma Abhishek
Published: February 2024

Changes in body composition hold signicance due to their potential impact on engagement and performance in sports,
particularly in activities where weight and center of gravity play a crucial role, such as gymnastics, diving, gure skating,
and wrestling. The period of puberty introduces substantial changes that may inuence a child's ability to participate in sports. Objective: The
study aimed to assess the relationship between Body composition and Flexibility in homebound adolescents of Uttar Pradesh. Hypothesis: The
researcher postulated a null hypothesis suggesting that there may be no relationship between Body composition and Flexibility of homebound
adolescents in Uttar Pradesh. Materials & Methods: Participants for the study were selected from the Agra district, with a total of 50 teenagers (25
males and 25 females) recruited. The researcher opted for body composition (body fat percentage) and exibility, considering feasibility criteria.
Statistical Technique: Descriptive statistics and the Pearson product-moment correlation were employed using SPSS version-22 to test the
hypothesis, with the signicance threshold set at 0.05. Results and Discussion: The study's ndings revealed a minimal association between body
composition and exibility in 50 homebound adolescents from Uttar Pradesh (25 males and 25 females). The statistical analysis showed a weak
and statistically insignicant association between body composition and exibility in males (r=.332, p=.105). Similarly, the relationship
between body composition & exibility of females was negative but insignicant (r= -.054, p=.799). Discussion of the Hypothesis: The
formulated hypothesis is accepted, as the results demonstrate an insignicant correlation between body composition and exibility in both boys
and girls. Conclusion: Considering the study's limitations and results, it is concluded that Body composition and Flexibility were not found
signicant in the case of both boys and girls.

interval and further retreatment was based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) ndings. The changes in the retinal thickness and visual
acuity were evaluated to judge the efcacy, and adverse events were noted for the safety prole over a period of 6 months. A total of 37 Results:
eyes of thirty seven patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 59 ± 14 years. The mean pre-injection best corrected
visual acuity (BCVA) was 1.14± 0.48 log minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) and central foveal thickness (CFT)of 449.8 ± 115.22μm, and
the post-injection BCVA at 6 months was 0.51 ± 0.36 logMAR with a CFT of259.9 ± 87.08μm, this change was statistically signicant (P <
0.05). During the follow-up period after injection, no patient had inammation, endophthalmitis, an increase in intra-ocular pressure, or systemic
side effects. Intravitreal bevacizumab appears to be a safe and effective Conclusion: treatment in patients with macular edema secondary to
retinal vein occlusion.
COMPARISON OF ADDUCTOR CANAL BLOCK AND INTRA ARTICULAR LOCAL ANAESTHETIC INJECTION FOR POST OPERATIVE PAIN RELIEF IN ARTHROSCOPIC KNEE SURGERIES
Authors: Monil Parsana Akanksha , Kumar Verma Ajay , Kumar Mukesh
Published: February 2024

Background: Adductor canal block and intra articular local anesthetic injections are good methods of post operative
pain relief in arthroscopic knee surgeries. Aims And Objective: 1) To study whether USG guided adductor canal block is
more effective for pain management in operated cases of arthroscopic knee surgeries than intra articular injection of local anesthetic. 2) To study
the duration of action of adductor canal block and intra articular injection of local anesthetic for pain relief in post operative cases of arthroscopic
knee surgery. 60 patients of ASA I and II, aged 20-60 years, operated for arthroscopic knee s Materials And Methods: urgeries were randomly
allocated to group A (n-30, USG guided adductor canal block using 15 ml 0.5% Bupivacaine) and group S (n-30, intraarticular injection of 15 ml
0.5% Bupivacaine.) Each case was subsequently followed up for onset and total duration of analgesia till 6 hours postoperatively. Efcacy in both
groups was assessed by visual analogue scale. Results And Summary: There was signicant difference in onset of action between both the
groups. Patients of Group S had quicker onset of pain relief than group A. The duration of action in group A was more (5.4±1.02 hrs) than group S
(2.8±1.40 hrs). Visual analogue score showed signicant pain reduction in group S after 15 minutes and although the duration of pain relief was
more in group A. Conclusion: Adductor canal block and intra articular joint injrction both are excellent way of pain relief in post operative cases
of arthroscopic knee surgeries. The intra articular injection acts immediately and the action is short lived on the other hand the duration of pain
relief is more in adductor canal block at the cost of a slower onset of action.

Authors: K Manjunatha , Patil Kumar
Published: February 2024

This study aims to review the literature available on Indian E-Governance websites to examine their relative strengths and
weaknesses. The study consists of a qualitative analysis of research based journal articles available on the subject- Indian
E-Governance websites. The available literature points out that: Indian governments are primarily focused on online services; Indian
governments have a limited number of websites; Indian governments do not provide a lot of government services; government websites do not
have good user experience; government websites have poor usability; government websites tend to be less mobile friendly. The study also found
that a more, extensive and systematic study of government websites in India is required to understand the present status of these websites. The
ndings of this study indicate that there is a need to improve the overall accessibility and usability of Indian government web portals in order to
improve their quality and in turn the E-government Development Index ranks of India.

EFFECT OF NALBUPHINE VERSUS FENTANYL ON HAEMODYNAMIC RESPONSE TO LARYNGOSCOPY AND INTUBATION – A RANDOMISED STUDY
Authors: Somayaji Sharmila , B. M Bharathi , R Malarvizhi , S Kori Rachana
Published: February 2024

Background: Endotracheal intubation and laryngoscopy, provides intense noxious stimuli via vagal and glossopharyngeal afferents that results in
reex autonomic activation. Many drugs like alpha agonists, vasodilators, lignocaine, induction agents and opioids has been used to attenuate
presser response but each drug has its own limitation. Fentanyl and nalbuphine are most commonly used as a premedication. Our aim is to compare
the effects of these drugs in attenuating the hemodynamic response to endotracheal intubation in surgeries under general anaesthesia to help the
selection of a better drug. In our study we found that, both the drugs have comparable effec Results: t on attenuation of heart rate and SBP during
intubation response whereas by comparing mean of DBP of both the groups, we can conclude that Nalbuphine attenuates rise in DBP better
compared to Fentanyl. But we found that Fentanyl attenuates change in MAP better compared to Nalbuphine. Nalbuphine caused signicant
sedation compared to Fentanyl but the sedation did not compromise airway or GCS. The incidence of post-operative nausea was signicantly low
in nalbuphine group compared to fentanyl group whereas incidence of vomiting was not statistically signicant. Conclusion: Nalbuphine and
Fentanyl are equally efcacious in attenuating the intubation response to laryngoscopy and intubation. Both drugs provide comparable
haemodynamic stability during intraoperative period. Nalbuphine causes slightly higher incidence of sedation comparable to Fentanyl but not
associated with increased incidence of life-threatening side effects. Both drugs have comparable incidence of post-operative vomiting. Nalbuphine
is easily available at a lower cost compared to fentanyl. Hence, we conclude that Nalbuphine is an equally efcacious alternative for Fentanyl as
premedication in attenuation of haemodynamic responses for laryngoscopy and intubation.

Introduction: Diabetes is a leading cause for the cardiovascular diseases, stroke, blindness, amputations and end stage renal disease in the world.
Increasing evidences in both the experimental and clinical studies suggest that oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathogenesis of diabetes
mellitus. Elevated circulating levels of soluble adhesion molecules as markers of endothelial dysfunction have been related to insulin resistance
and its associated metabolic abnormalities. Aims And Objective 1- To nd the relationship between Apo-B and type 2 diabetes mellitus without
retinopathy 2-To nd a relationship between HbA1C and type 2 diabetes mellitus without retinopathy. 3-To study the correlation between Apo-B
and HbA1C in type 2 diabetes mellitus without retinopathy. Materials And Methods: 45 patients of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics without
retinopathy of age between 20 to 65 years were selected. For control, 20 age and sex matched healthy non-diabetic & Normotensive individuals
were selected as the controls, whose blood samples were drawn with their consent for comparison with the blood samples of the cases. Results:We
have found statistically non signicant positive correlation between HbA1C % and level of Apo “B” Conclusion: The study also showed
statistically signicant difference in HbA1c (p<0.001) when compared between diabetics without retinopathy and normal healthy controls. Further
levels of HDL-C were signicantly lower in patients of diabetes without retinopathy(p<0.001).

Published: February 2024

Background: Cigarette smoking and its strong association with cardiovascular and respiratory disease have been well documented. There is
growing evidence that smoking delays or inhibits bone healing after surgery or trauma. Tibial fractures are difcult to manage, mainly due to
coexistence of covering tissue problem and poor blood supply. The negative effects of smoking on tibial shaft fracture healing have been observed
in few clinical investigations. The present study aimed to evaluate whether smokers are at a higher risk of delayed and non-union following closed
tibial diaphyseal fractures. 120 patients were enrolled and divided into 2 groups - Group 1 (G1) con Methods: sisted of patients who had never
smoked and Group 2 (G2) consisted of patients who have smoked 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and currently smoke cigarettes every day or some
days. (According to WHO smoker / current smoker criteria). All patients will be treated with CRIF with ILN Tibia. Both the groups received same
perioperative care. The patients were followed up at every 6 weeks till 6 months with X ray of AP and lateral view. At the end of 6 months Results:
follow up we found 23.33% union, 60% delayed union, 16.67% non-union and 16.67% infection in smokers and 83.33% union, 6.67% nonunion,
10% delayed union and 6.67% infection in non-smokers respectively. Rate of nonunion, delayed union and infection is high in group 2 compared to
group1.Mean days of union in smoker group is (127 days) longer compared to non-smokers group (102 days). Smokers healed their Conclusion:
fractures more slowly compared to nonsmokers. Smokers are at a higher risk of delayed and non-union. Rate of infection is high in smokers
compared to non-smokers. The results highlight the need for orthopedic surgeons to encourage their patients to enter a smoking cessation
programs.
