Authors: Dutta Deep , Mohindra Ritin , Kumar Manoj , Kumar Ashok , Sharma Meha
Published: November 2022

Ranirestat, an aldose reductase inhibitor evaluated in several randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). However, to date, no meta-analysis has evaluated the efficacy and safety of ranirestat in DPN. We undertook this meta-analysis to address this knowledge gap. Detailed search of electronic databases for RCTs published till December 2021 was done at Cochrane register, Medline, PubMed, Embase, clinicaltrials.gov, ctri.nic.in, global health and Google Scholar using the Boolean search strategy: ((ranirestat) OR (aldose reductase inhibitor)) AND ((diabetes) OR (“diabetes mellitus”)). The primary outcome was to evaluate changes in nerve conduction velocities (NCV) of different nerves. The secondary outcomes were to evaluate alterations in amplitudes, F-wave latencies of nerves, modified Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score (mTCNS) and adverse events. Data from 5 studies involving 1461 patients with DPN was analysed to establish the impact of ranirestat (20-40 mg/day) as compared to placebo on different electrophysiologic outcomes over a median follow-up of 52 weeks. Patients receiving ranirestat had significantly greater improvement in proximal median sensory NCV [MD 0.77 m/s (95%CI: 0.50–1.05); P < 0.01; I2 = 26%], distal median sensory NCV [MD 0.91 m/s (95%CI: 0.87–0.95); P < 0.01; I2 = 0%], median motor NCV [MD 0.63 m/s (95%CI: 0.60–0.66); P < 0.01; I2 = 0%], tibial motor NCV [MD 0.46 m/s (95%CI: 0.43–0.49); P < 0.01; I2 = 0%] and peroneal motor NCV [MD 0.80 m/s (95%CI: 0.66–0.93); P < 0.01; I2 = 0%]. mTCNS was not significantly different among groups. Treatment-emergent adverse events [risk ratio (RR) 0.85 (95%CI: 0.63–1.14); P = 0.28; I2 = 0%] and severe adverse events [RR 1.35 (95%CI: 0.86–2.11); P = 0.20; I2 = 0%] were comparable across study groups. In people with established DPN with long-standing diabetes, ranirestat is safe and effective in improving electrophysiologic but not clinical DPN.

Published: November 2022

Thyroid hormone exerts effects across all organ systems. Hence, patients with thyroid dysfunction are at a risk of numerous complications. The stresses encountered during the perioperative period may exacerbate underlying thyroid disorders, potentially precipitating decompensation, and even death. Thus, it is of the utmost importance for the clinician to comprehend the mechanisms by which thyroid disease may complicate surgery and postoperative recovery and to optimize the status of thyrotoxic and hypothyroid patients. This article describes the adverse effects of thyroid dysfunction in patients undergoing nonthyroid surgery and recommends treatment approaches aimed at appropriate build-up to decrease perioperative risk.

Published: November 2022

Through meditation, one can acquire a calm, awake state of mind. It can assist people in becoming more conscious of themselves and their surroundings. Pain, worry, and other undesirable feelings may be significantly reduced with meditation. EEG is now one of the methods widely employed in the field of neuroscience to study how the brain works. Different capabilities of the brain are identified via electroencephalography (EEG), which uses brain data collected through electrodes. In this paper, the behavior of five participants with greater than three years of meditative experience and 5 persons with no meditative background is analyzed in resting and meditative positions. The behavioral changes in the meditators versus novices concerning EEG signal components such as alpha α, beta β, gamma ϒ, delta ẟ, and theta θ are analyzed with the help of changes observed in parameters such as power, mean, and standard deviation (SD). Then finally, the significance of the results obtained is statistically analyzed by finding the p-value using a t-test, with a 95% confidence interval. A p-value less than 0.05 is considered significant.

A summary of the harmonic reduction in FACTS based systems is presented in this survey/review paper. As force electric framework becomes complex and seriously blocked the force conveyance challenge turns out to be progressively perplexing. With the restricted extension in the transmission framework, utilities are continually confronting the test of improving framework security and unwavering quality without a huge interest in new infra-structure. The cutting edge power framework accompanies another age of nonlinear burdens which broadly use power electronic converters. These new nonlinear components with their intrinsic nonlinearity qualities present new and extra test to electric utility frameworks. Then again irregular burdens and their transient effects on the force quality has consistently been a nonstop test.

This paper gives the design & development of a carbon monoxide detector. Living in cities is convenient in many ways such as high-quality public services such as healthcare and education. However, for all the advantages offered by city living, it has not come without its own costs. Pollutant levels such as Carbon Monoxide in urban environments are sometimes unacceptably high. In many heavily urbanized areas, particularly in the developing world such as China, India and Brazil, carbon monoxide detectors often register levels many times higher than accepted ‘safe’ levels.
Unfortunately, this is by no means a problem exclusive to the developing world, with many major cities as far afield as Singapore, Seoul, London, New York and Los Angeles also regularly experiencing unsafe Carbon Monoxide levels. (CO) is a colourless, odourless gas which at high levels can cause serious illness and death. CO alarms are widely available and should be considered a backup to BUT NOT A REPLACEMENT for proper installation, use, and maintenance of fuel-burning appliances. CO alarms are designed to warn you of any unusual build-up of CO in your home. These higher levels of CO may occur from improperly maintained, installed or used fuel-burning appliances,
back drafting appliances or fireplaces, or idling cars in garages. If a CO alarm is to be installed.

Authors: Prib Kateryna
Published: November 2022

The aggravation of the food crisis in the world highlights the problem of finding additional reserves to increase food production. In this context, personal farms of Ukraine attract special attention. They ensure the production of much of the country’s food; contribute to the employment of peasants and the development of rural areas. The aim of this article is to assess the resource and production potential of private farms, as well as to justify the feasibility of using their existing investment instruments. General scientific and special methods are used in the work. The main emphasis is on assessing the resource and production potential of the studied categories of farms. Methods of structural analysis and evaluation of time series have made it possible to establish the link between the level of crisis phenomena and the growing importance of personal farms in the country’s food supply, as well as to compare their potential with the potential of the agricultural sector of the country as a whole. Results of the research. It was found that personal farms play an important role in the country’s food security, as well as in the formation of a system of self-employment and socio-cultural relations. It is established that such farms successfully provide food needs for the rural population, as well as sell surplus products on the market. It has been proved that these economic entities have significant resource and production potential, but expanding the scope of their activities requires a number of measures, including changing the public policy to support farms, as well as ensuring active investment in their development. In the process of assessing the production and resource potential of private farms, it was determined that they have significant resources to invest their own resources in their development.

Published: November 2022

Plants have been the main source of therapeutic agents in world’s most ancient system of medicine, the Ayurveda. Nimb (also known as Margosa tree) is one of the most commonly used plants in Ayurveda for the management of a large number of ailments. It is a member of the Meliaceae family, found commonly in India, Africa and America. Nimb has been used exclusively by mankind to treat various diseases since even before the availability of manuscripts that recorded the beginning of history. Nimb is well described in Charak Samhita, Sushrut Samhita, Ashtang Hridayam, Chikitsa grantha and Nighantus. It is having Laghu guna, Tikta kashaya rasa, Sheeta virya and Katu vipaka, due to which it has been considered as Kapha-pitta shamaka. Acharya Bhav Mishra considers it Tridosh Shamak. It is traditionally used in the treatment of various ailment i.e., Krimi, Kushtha, Jwara, Kandu, Shopha and many more. All the parts of the plant have been used in the preparation of therapeutic formulations. Nimb contains various bioactive compounds like Nimbinin and Nimbidin, due to which it shows antibiotic, antiulcer, anti-inflammatory, antihelmenthic, antifungal, diuretic, antihistaminic, nematicidal and spermicidal properties and other biological activities. Present paper is an effort to validate pharmacological properties of Nimb described in Ayurveda through reverse pharmacology.

Achieving Land Degradation Neutrality: An Old Problem with New Urgency
Authors:   ICAR-Indian Institute of Soil and Water Conservation, Dehradun-248195, Mandal D.
Published: November 2022

It is generally spoken that history repeats itself. The same is the case with the rise and fall of many civilizations including the Indus valley civilization. But we should learn lessons from the historical past for developing strategies and plans to reverse the trend of land degradation. During the Neolithic period, nearly 8000-4000 BCE, agro-pastoral and shifting cultivation were the normal ways of livelihood options. However, resource utilization was in harmony with nature, and resource sharing among the several social strata was extremely cordial. In the early Holocene soil erosion was very slow. During the middle Holocene, soil erosion rate was lower because luxurious vegetation cover protected the soil from water erosion, although the precipitation was high. However, the first major notification occurred at the end of the bronze age (or 1000 BCE) when post-Vedic people introduced the iron plough and started cultivation by burning down forest lands.
Pedogenic Processes Derived Plant Available Water Capacity (PAWC) for Rain-Fed Deep-Rooted Crops in Indian Vertisols: A Pragmatic Method

Global pedologists and edaphologists have created a huge database on the properties and management of smectitic Vertisols (cracking clay soils, CCS) but they are not adequate to optimize their use and management. This review is a synthesis of research done in the recent past at ICAR-NBSS, Nagpur, to search for real soil moisture status during crop growth. Despite the fact that the smectitic CCS do retain the highest amount of water both at 33 kPa and 1500 kPa, they have limitations to both rainy season and winter crops in the majority of CCS of central India under semi-arid tropical (SAT) environments due to lack of adequate moisture and poor porosity in their subsoils. Due to these predicaments, farmers of central India are unable to grow both rainy and winter crops in a year. Research indicated that the laboratory determined available water content (AWC) is not fully released during the crop growth period. Thus, the inclusion of AW capacity as one of the soil parameters for soil suitability analysis of cotton is inappropriate and inefficacious bio-physical parameter because soil moisture after cessation of rains remains at 100 kPa for non-sodic CCS and for sodic CCS (ESP > 5 but < 15), it remains at 300kPa. Inadequate soil moisture is due to the impairment of soil hydraulic properties caused by the dispersion of smectitic clays in the presence of both Mg and Na ions on the soil exchange complex. Recent research on depth-wise soil moisture characteristics curves indicates that the release of soil water beyond 800 kPa is negligible in Vertisols, indicating the failure in the release of soil water beyond 800 kPa is due to the dispersion of dominant nano-size smectite. The difficulties in releasing soil moisture at tension at or higher than 800 kPa suggest that moisture in micropores is held very tightly by Mg- and Na- smectite clays and thus, the release of soil moisture beyond 800 kPa is not significant throughout the depth of Vertisols. Therefore, the calculated PAWC considering the soil water held between 100-800 kPa for non-sodic CCS, and for sodic CCS, the soil water held between 300-800 kPa, showed a better significant positive correlation with cotton yields, in comparison to the correlation obtained between PAWC at 100-1500 kPa for non-sodic and 300-1500 kPa by the earlier method. The better correlation highlights how fundamentally pedogenetic processes driven by PAWC controls the movement of rainwater and its retention and release in SAT Vertisols. Therefore, PAWC is a unique bio-physical property, which can act as a guiding principle forthe growing of deep-rooted crops in abiotically stressed Vertisols of Indian SAT areas. In addition, PAWC could be applied as a useful parameter in further revision of agro-ecological sub-regions (AESRs) in black soils areas for better crop planning and ecosystem services of SAT Vertisols.

Pot culture and incubation studies were conducted to assess the carbon mineralization and soil enzyme activities with green manure crop residue in Inceptisols. The studies were undertaken with six green manure crop residues viz., sunhemp (Crotolaria juncea), cluster bean (Cymopsis tetragonaloba), cow pea (Vigna unguiculata), mutant dhaincha (Sesbania rostrata), green gram (Vigna mungo) and soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) which were grown up to 50 per cent flowering in the pot along with control at Division of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, College of Agriculture, Pune during 2020-21 in completely randomized design with three replications. Carbon mineralization and soil enzyme activities i.e. dehydrogenase and β- glucosidase were studied by incorporating green manure crop residues in soil. In the incubation study, the mutant dhaincha recorded significantly higher release of CO2-C throughout the incubation period than othertreatments. The rate of release of CO2-C was slow at 0 and 15 days after incubation but increased at 45 days after incubation and thereafter, gradual decline in all green manures incorporated treatments was observed. Higher dehydrogenase and β- glucosidase activity were recorded in sun hemp treated pots.

Published: November 2022

The true knot of the umbilical cord is a pathology with a relatively low incidence. However, it is associated with the risk of loss of fetal well-being and in severe cases with perinatal death. There are both maternal and fetal risk factors, with different associated perinatal outcomes. Prenatal diagnosis is a challenge for the attending physician and almost all cases are findings at birth once the cord has been observed. However, over time, ultrasound methods have been developed to search for it in cases where suspicion is high. and most cases are findings at birth, however, today ultrasound methods are available for their intentional search, mainly in patients with unidentified risk factors. Similarly, it should be suspected in the presence of an altered cardiotocographic record or one that shows a non-reassuring pattern, especially when there is no response to established intrauterine resuscitation maneuvers, such as left lateral decubitus position, supplemental oxygen and maternal hydration.
Bangkitnya Islam Radikal dan Nasionalisme: Studi tentang Gerakan Islam Wahabi
Authors: Aritonang Arthur
Published: November 2022

This article describes the contemporary phenomenon in which Muslims in Indonesia since the reform era have been indicated by the ideology of Wahhabism from the Middle East. From the beginning, one of the goals of NU's presence as the largest moderate Islamic organization in Indonesia and the world was to anticipate the inclusion of Wahhabism, which at that time was already widespread in the Middle East. During the new order radical Islamic character organizations did not have a place in this country but after the fall of the new order regime and then entered the era of reform (democracy and freedom of expression) radical-colored Muslims see this as a great opportunity whose basis is as governed by the Law namely the right to establish community organizations or political parties. This opportunity is used to build organizations in the name of Islam and then spread the doctrine of Wahhabism in Indonesia by building mosques, entering several pesantren, and even some Universitas in Indonesia have been exposed to radicalism. The activity was entirely sponsored by Saudi Arabia but not by the Saudi Arabian government. Therefore, the ideology of Wahhabism is clearly contrary to Pancasila and the spirit of nationalism because it actually endangers the existence of fellow Muslims, Christianity and other religions in Indonesia.AbstrakArtikel ini menguraikan fenomena kontemporer dimana umat Islam di Indonesia sejak era reformasi telah terindikasi oleh faham wahabisme dari Timur Tengah. Sejak semula, salah satu tujuan dari kehadiran NU sebagai organisasi Islam moderat terbesar di Indonesia maupun dunia, yaitu mengantisipasi masuknya faham wahabisme yang ketika itu sudah menyebar luas di Timur Tengah. Semasa orde baru organisasi Islam berwatak radikal tidak mendapat tempat di negeri ini, namun setelah tumbangnya rezim orde baru dan kemudian memasuki era reformasi (demokrasi dan kebebasan bereskpresi) umat Islam yang berwatak radikal melihat ini sebagai peluang besar yang dasarnya ialah sebagaimana yang diatur oleh Undang-Undang, yaitu hak untuk mendirikan organisasi kemasyarakat atau pun partai politik. Peluang ini dimanfaatkan untuk membangun organisasi yang mengatasnamakan Islam, kemudian menyebarkan doktrin wahabisme di Indonesia dengan cara membangun masjid, masuk ke beberapa pesantren, bahkan beberapa Universitas di Indonesia sudah terpapar radikalisme. Kegiatan tersebut seluruhnya disponsori oleh Arab Saudi, tetapi bukan berasal dari pemerintah Arab Saudi. Oleh karenanya, faham wahabisme jelas bertentangan dengan Pancasila dan semangat nasionalisme, sebab ini justru membahayakan bagi eksistensi sesama Islam, kekristenan dan agama-agama lainnya di Indonesia.
Kajian Isu Toxic Masculinity di Era Digital dalam Perspektif Sosial dan Teologi
Authors: Novalina Martina , Flegon Akedka Starde , Valentino Benaya , Gea For Sukur Iman
Published: November 2022

In social life, we are faced with various cultures. One of them is the culture of toxic masculinity. This toxic masculinity culture actually has a significant impact on men's mentality, even though at a glance the main signs such as power, control, and violence at first glance give these men their own prestige. The impact of toxic masculinity is not only felt by men, but also by women as victims. This study wants to examine the issue of toxic masculinity from a social and biblical perspective by using a literature study approach. The results obtained are Toxic masculinity is a culture that must be abolished in social life, both within the scope of social society and the church. The wrong paradigm in society about masculinity certainly cannot be overcome by eliminating the responsibility of men as they should be, and also replacing it with feminism. Gender-based behavior should be avoided and replaced with behavior based on beneficial values. Within the scope of the church itself, may gender-based ministry be eliminated, because God himself has never distinguished His people based on gender differences. AbstrakDalam kehidupan bermasyarakat, kita diperhadapkan dengan beragam budaya. Salah satunya adalah budaya toxic maskulinity. Budaya toxic masculinity ini ternyata memberikan dampak yang cukup signifikan terhadap mental laki-laki, walaupun secara kasat mata tanda-tanda utama seperti kekuasaan, kontrol, maupun kekerasan sekilas memberikan prestise tersendiri bagi kaum adam tersebut. Dampak dari toxic masculinity ini bukan hanya dirasakan oleh laki-laki, tetapi juga perempuan sebagai korban-nya. Penelitian ini ingin mengkaji isu tentang toxic masculinity dari perspektif sosial dan Alkitab dengan menggunakan pendekatan studi literatur. Hasil yang didapat adalah Toxic masculinity adalah budaya yang harus dihapuskan dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat, baik dalam ruang lingkup masyarakat sosial maupun gereja. Paradigma yang salah dalam masyarakat tentang maskulinitas tentunya tidak bisa diatasi dengan menghilangkan tanggung jawab laki-laki sebagaimana mestinya, dan juga mengganti-nya dengan feminisme. Perilaku berbasis gender sebaiknya dihindarkan dan diganti dengan perilaku berdasarkan nilai-nilai yang bermanfaat. Dalam ruang lingkup gereja sendiri, kiranya pelayanan berba-sis gender dihilangkan, karena Allah sendiripun tidak pernah membedakan umat-Nya berdasarkan perbedaan gender.

Exodus 20:1-17 as the moral and spiritual foundation of the Israelites has many interpretations in its understanding of relevance. Of the many interpretations, there is a tendency to associate it with the law for the violation of sexual behavior between human beings. This interpretation becomes problematic when dealing with the context of the placement of the word in the command sentence. There are dualistic ideas about the understanding of adultery in the Bible from a spiritual and physical perspective. Spiritually adultery is the same as praying for the Lord God or worshipping idols. But physically adultery is shown by sex performed by couples who have not been blessed in marriage. The variety of interpretations of these entities should be viewed in a dynamic position of thought. Therefore this paper shows the entity of adultery based on the analysis of the meaning of the word in the context of its creation taking into account the theological consequences for the present-day reader in the family community. By placing this ethical command in the framework of decalogues, the aspect of fidelity in the marital relationship of a family cannot be separated from fidelity to God.AbstrakKeluaran 20:1-17 sebagai landasan moral dan kerohanian bangsa Israel memiliki banyak penafsiran dalam pemahaman relevansinya. Dari sekian banyak penafsiran terdapat kecenderungan untuk mengaitkannya dengan hukum atas pelanggaran perilaku seksual antara manusia. Penafsiran ini menjadi problematis ketika berhadapan dengan konteks penempatan kata dalam kalimat perintah tersebut. Terdapat gagasan-gagasan dualistis mengenai pemahaman perzinahan di dalam Alkitab dari sisi rohani dan fisik. Secara rohani perzinahan sama dengan menduakan Tuhan Allah atau melakukan penyembahan kepada berhala. Namun secara fisik perzinahan diperlihatkan dengan hubungan seks yang dilakukan oleh pasangan yang belum diberkati dalam pernikahan. Beragam penafsiran entitas ini seharusnya dilihat dalam posisi pemikiran yang dinamis. Oleh karena itu tulisan ini memperlihatkan entitas dari perzinahan berdasarkan analisis makna kata dalam konteks terciptanya dengan mempertimbangkan konsekuensi teologi bagi pembaca masa kini dalam komunitas keluarga. Dengan menempatkan perintah etis ini dalam kerangka dekalog maka aspek kesetiaan dalam relasi pernikahan sebuah keluarga tidak dapat dipisahkan dengan kesetiaan kepada Tuhan.

Purpose: Tanzania is one of the mineral-rich countries giving corporate income tax (CIT) concessions to encourage foreign direct investment (FDI). Tanzania's mining industry remains enticing to investors, owing to its expanding diversity. This paper assesses the impact of corporate income tax in the mining sector for the period of 1990 – 2020. The paper also sought to analyse the impact of other determinants of FDI namely, Political stability, Human capital and infrastructure on FDI inflow in the mining sector.

Methodology: The study utilized secondary annual time series data collected from the World Bank (WB), Bank of Tanzania (BOT), and Foundation for Studies and Research on International Development (FERDI). The Autoregressive Distribution of Lags (Ardl) estimating approach was used to analyse the short-run and long-run relationship between FDI and corporate income tax as well as the aforementioned variables.

Findings: A negative relationship between corporate income Tax and FDI inflow in the mining sector was confirmed. Thus, portraying both short-run and long-run effects of corporate income tax on FDI inflow in the mining sector.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: To encourage and increase FDI inflow in the mining sector, the government of Tanzania requires concerted efforts with relevant authorities that will ensure a fair moderation of corporate income Tax which will in turn increase tax compliance. The concerted efforts carter for factors linked with FDI inflow such as corporate income tax, political stability, human capital quality, and infrastructure. These factors align concurrently with the eclectic paradigm which is the anchoring theory of the study.

Data was collected for 1964 to 2019 from Kenya's Central Bank. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the study. Diagnostic tests such as Multi-collinearity, Auto-correlation, Normality, and Unit root were performed.  Specifically, the long-run and short-run relationships were analyzed using the Auto-Regressive Distributive lag (ARDL) bound test for cointegration. An error correction model was applied to examine the short-run association.

Finding: The test suggested the presence of a stable long-run relationship between financial development, public domestic debt, public external debt, and interest rate. The study finding indicates that public domestic debt has a statistically significant negative relationship with Kenya's financial development both in the long and short run.
