Authors: Sharma Raksha , Kumar Kumawat Mukesh , Kumar Sharma Gyanendra
Published: November 2022

In the present study, 50 derivatives of novel 4-aminoquinoline-monastrol hybrids were designed and docking studies were performed using Autodock 4. In the docking experiment, the hybrid compounds were docked in the binding pocket of pfLDH (plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase) (PDB ID- 1CET). The docking interactions of 4-aminoquinoline-monastrol compounds with ALA98, the active site of target protein were good. Compound 19 showed H-bonding interactions with ALA98, the active site of pfLDH and the compound 17, 23 and 40 showed alkyl bonding interactions with ALA98 of target protein. These compounds were selected on the basis of lowest binding energies (-10.40 to -12.47Kcal/mol). According to our study, these hybrid compounds may be a useful pharmacophore against malaria. On the basis of in-silico studies and predicted pharmacokinetic properties and druglikeness, it is stated that, these hybrid molecules have potential to become potent drug against malaria.

Published: November 2022

Afghan medicinal plants are famous for their nutritional and pharmacological activities. Afghan people are using medicinal herbs alone or in combination for treatment of diseases. This study is designed to evaluate the effect of two Afghan medicinal plants, Withania Coagulans L. and Ferula Assa-foetida L. extracts combination on blood glucose level of diabetic rats. Rats became diabetic by a single dose administration of streptozotocin and treated with Withania Coagulans and Ferula Assa-foetida extracts either alone or in combination for 21 days. The initial and final body weight and fasting blood glucose of rats were determined. Results showed that treatment with both Withania Coagulans and Ferula Assa-foetida extracts over 21 days period leads to a considerable reduction in blood glucose level of diabetic rats. In addition, their combinations in different proportions also showed a notable anti-hyperglycemic effect on diabetic rats (P < 0.0001). The Withania Coagulans and Ferula Assa-foetida combinations formula effect was even better than each individual plants. As a result, combinations of Withania Coagulans and Ferula Assa-foetida extracts have a synergic effect on blood glucose level of diabetic rats.

Published: November 2022

Oral and parenteral antibiotics as amoxicillin-clavulanate, nitrofurantoin, cephalosporins, ttrimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or fluoroquinolones were recommended to treat urinary tract infections UTIs. Resistance of uropathogens to antibiotic poses a serious concern worldwide. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the resistance in vitro of urine bacteria isolated from adult male and female patients with UTI to common used antibiotics in Syria. A total of 111 urine samples were collected in the laboratory. Firstly, the bacteria caused UTIs was identified. Then, the susceptibility of isolated bacteria to 16 antibiotic were evaluated with disc-diffusion method. As expected, the prevalence of UTI was higher in females than in males. E. Coli revealed the highest prevalence (70%), while Klebsiella showed the next highest rate (33%). 99.1% of urine bacteria were resistant to at least 2 antibiotics (110samples/111 samples). A high rate of resistance (≥ 50%) among isolated urine bacteria was observed to 10 antibiotics. Only 6 antibiotics has a rate of resistance below 50%. Amikacin and imipenem were the most active antibiotic with 0% resistance followed by gentamycin (11%). High overall resistance rates above 90% was found to cefexime (92%), cephalexin (93%), and cephalothin (95%). Due to the high resistance rates and Multi-antibiotic resistance, antibiotics sales should be regulated and not sale without prescription in Syria.

Role of Microbiota in Health and Disease
Authors: Mukhles Ahmed Mohammed , Shallal Farhan Munaf , Abdullah Hamad Anas , Ibrahim Edan Ali
Published: November 2022

The microbiota is a term used to describe the microorganisms that live in or on the human body. Microbiota clusters are located on the skin, in the gastrointestinal tract, mouth, vagina, and eyes. Our bodies contain trillions of microbes. Various environmental factors have a strong connection with the human health and illness and can cause intestinal microbial imbalances. The composition of this microbial population is host-specific, evolving over the course of life, vulnerable to exogenous and endogenous changes. The recent renewed interest in and function of this "organ system" underlined its central role in health and disease. The microbiota covers a variety of types of host physiology, from diet to action and stress response. The mechanisms through which microbiota has beneficial or adverse effects remain largely undetermined, but involve the production of signaling molecules and the recognition of bacterial epitopes via the immune cells both intestines and mucosa. Progress in the modelling and study of gut microbial products would increase our understanding of their health and illness functions, helping to customize current and potential therapeutic and prophylactic modalities. While several of these microbes perform functions that are vital to host physiology, they still pose the danger of breaching pathologies. Mammalian immune system plays an important role in preserving homeostasis with resident microbial species, ensuring that the host-microbial relationship's reciprocal existence is retained.
Microsponge Drug Delivery System: Emerging Technique in Novel Drug Delivery System and Recent Advances
Authors: Choudhary Anshika , Akhtar Md. Semimul
Published: November 2022

A number of advancements have been made in the drug delivery system in order to achieve the goals of improved efficacy and cost-effectiveness in therapy. Controlling the rate of release of active drugs to a predetermined site in the human body has been one of the pharma industry's most challenging tasks. Microsponges are porous cross-linked, non-collapsible microspheres with a size range of 5-300µm that can entrap a variety of drugs and then be incorporated into a formulated product like gel, cream, powder, or liquid. Controlled release of drugs onto the epidermis with the confidence that the drug remains primarily localized and does not enter the systemic circulation in substantial amounts is a field of research that the microsponge delivery system is progressively exploring. In order to remove systemic exposure and minimize local cutaneous reaction to active drugs, microsponge technology has been introduced in topical drug products to facilitate the controlled release of the active drugs into the cell. Also, numerous studies have shown that microsponge systems are non-irritating, non-mutagenic, non-allergenic, and non-toxic. MDDS technology is being used currently in cosmetics, over-the-counter (OTC) skin care, sunscreens, and prescription products and has recently been used in oral drugs as well as biopharmaceuticals (protein, peptides, and DNA based therapeutics) drug delivery. The purpose of this article is to provide information about microsponges such as the method of preparation, mechanism of drug release from microsponges, characterization, applications of microsponges, and information about microsponges updated research.

The Digital Maturity as a predictor of Organizational Resilience during a Severe Crisis
Authors: Rotem Dorit , Fisher Eddie
Published: November 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic spread around the world in early 2020, forcing governments to impose lockdowns. As a result, organizations had to find new ways to continue operating during this disruptive event. Not all organizations were able to use digital technology with the same degree of success.This mainly qualitative study includes the use of mixed methods aimed to investigate the significance of digital maturity for an organization, so that it can develop resilience during a pandemic and retain competitiveness in a post-pandemic age, referred to as ‘the new normal’.The outcome of this research suggests that under certain assumptions the digital maturity of an organization was a good predictor of its organizational resilience during the pandemic. The most influential factors in successfully coping with such event included both technical and managerial activities such as the existence of an adequate technological infrastructure, agile decision making, monitoring the situation, and improving the digital literacy of the workforce. This study also identified the practices that are likely to be adopted in the post-pandemic era.These outcomes were incorporated into a new model for managing disruptive events using digital technology ready for adoption by any kind of business, provided that geographical and cultural differences are considered and appropriate modifications are applied.
The Rhetorical Roots of Legal Pragmatism
Authors: Sery Joseph
Published: November 2022

This article argues that in Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.’s “The Path of the Law”—a landmark work in legal pragmatism—the philosophical and rhetorical themes complement and reinforce each other. To do so it utilizes Robert Danisch’s (2007)Pragmatism, Democracy, and the Necessity of Rhetoric as a theoretical framework to demonstrate that as Holmes confronts major tensions in the law—legality and morality, past and future, theory and practice—he reveals the necessity of pragmatism in legal judgment and its unavoidable rhetorical character.
Drawing as Devotional Attention
Authors: Craig Megan
Published: November 2022

This article investigates drawing as a form of devotional attention. Engaging with the work of María Lugones and examples from Josef Albers, Corita Kent, Franz Opalka, Georgia O’Keeffe, and William Kentridge, each section revolves around drawing in relation to embodied practices of being together with others. In addition to a personal account of memories and rituals of drawings, this article examines the degree to which drawing hones a pragmatic sense for fallibility, fluidity, and open-ended research, while arguing for drawing as a form of commitment to community that challenges historical associations of creativity with individualistic or uninhibited freedom.
Quotidian Tasks: Habits, Routines, and Rituals
Authors: Colapietro Vincent
Published: November 2022

The author frames his exploration in terms of Michel Foucault’s distinction between the practice of emancipation in the strict sense and practices of freedom. He proposes to treat rituals of attention as examples of practices of freedom. Before doing so, however, he considers the socioeconomic contexts in which such rituals must be situated. Then, he sketches what such rituals involve. In a sense, this article is a reflection on a claim put forth by one of the characters in Toni Morrison’s Beloved: “Freeing yourself was one thing; claiming ownership of that freed self was another.” Insights from William James and John Dewey in addition to those from Foucault are deployed to illuminate what is involved in claiming ownership of one’s freed self.

Tomato is an important horticultural product cultivated worldwide and a major crop subject of studies. The present study therefore aims to review the state of the art of research on tomato. To do this, search was carried out in scientific databases (Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed and Agora), A suitable scientific research works were selected and analyzed. From the results, it appears that tomato is a fruit vegetable, belongs to Solanaceae family and cultivated in many countries of the world and in various climates. Its production can be done in field, but also under controlled conditions by using of artificial lighting, heaters, as well as fertigation to produce high quality tomatoes. Nutritionally, regular intake of tomato fruit increase levels of carotenoids, lycopene, vitamin C, and polyphenols compounds in the daily diet. Regarding the preservation of tomato, research papers mentioned that tomato, like any plant, is subject to agronomic constraints, such as abiotic (light, water supply, salinity, floor structure) and biotic constraints (bacterial, fungal and viruses’ attacks). Mechanical damage also influenced external quality traits of tomato. Finally, this review paper presents a brief overview of some recent studies concerning the control of tomato diseases, the valorization of tomato fruits, as well as the using of tomato waste as a bioresource for lycopene extraction. However, it would be interesting that future investigations revolve around the search for more alternatives methods to control bacterial, fungal or virus attacks, such as the use of natural compounds, in particular those from plant origin.

Published: November 2022

Devido a crescente demanda por energia elétrica e o aumento das restrições ambientais, o paradigma do sistema elétrico de potência vem sendo alterado devido a maior utilização de Sistemas de Geração Distribuída SGDs. Quando os SGDs operados no modo tensão são conectados em redes de baixa tensão, o acoplamento P/Q é observado. O método de impedância virtual IV pode ser utilizado para obter o desacoplamento P/Q. Apesar disso, variações da impedância da rede podem comprometer o desacoplamento obtido via IV. Dessa forma, nesse artigo é proposta a implementação de uma estratégia de controle para conversores operados no modo tensão, visando realizar o desacoplamento P/Q, via IV adaptativa. Nessa abordagem, a IV é implementada para alterar a relação X/R em uma rede com impedância de perfil complexo a partir do uso de um Estimador da Impedância da Rede EIR. A estimação é feita com a utilização de um método ativo, injetando-se um inter-harmônico de corrente na rede. Resultados de simulação do sistema proposto são apresentados para comprovar a obtenção do desacoplamento P/Q mesmo com variações da impedância da rede elétrica.

This study was undertaken to determine the study habits and scholastic performance of junior student-athletes in Educational District IV. The researcher examined the profile of the respondents, scholastic performance in terms of their final average and their study habits in textbook reading, notetaking, reviewing, memorizing, preparing for tests, time management and concentration, using descriptive evaluative correlation approach for a comprehensive analysis of the study. In this study, the researcher utilized an adapted, modified survey-questionnaire which underwent pilot testing, validation and reliability test The researchers found out that the there was a significant relationship between student-athletes’ textbook reading, notetaking, reviewing, memorizing, time management and concentration and scholastic performance while there is no significant relationship in their preparation of tests and their scholastic performance. This signifies that the grade obtained by the student-athletes does not have anything to do with how they prepare for their tests. Based on the findings, the researchers noted that most of the respondents were Grade 10, males, and majority are into athletics. Moreover, the researcher concluded that the perception of student-athletes in different domains of study habits are all in the description of Sometimes. This implies that most of the student-athletes are not inclined to their study because they focus more on trainings as preparation for the competitions. Furthermore, the study revealed that the scholastic performance of student-athletes (M=83.43, SD=6.25) indicated that they still manage to obtain a passing grade. Moreover, the study also revealed that the most observed study habit is Memorizing (M=3.24, SD=0.48) while Taking Notes is the least observed study habit (M=3.00, SD=0.60). The researchers recommend that the results of this study be used in the preparation of the School Improvement Plan (SIP), as well as the Annual Implementation Plan (AIP) of each school for sports and academic support for student-athletes in line with the realization of schools’ mission and vision.

Apreensões de si enquanto escritor em Why I Write de George Orwell (1946)
Authors: Boiko da Rosa Janis Caroline
Published: November 2022

Why I Write foi um ensaio de George Orwell, publicado na revista Gangrel em 1946. Nesse texto o autor reconstruiu sua trajetória como escritor e apresentou o que o motivava a escrever, localizando sua tarefa vocacional na militância. Através desse texto é possível buscar a visão que Orwell apresentou de si e de seu projeto literário. A análise Why I Write apresentada neste artigo tem, portanto, a intenção de explorar como Orwell deu sentido às próprias vivências no texto e constituiu um projeto literário engajado a partir dessas experiências. Visamos, também, analisar a visão que o autor expressou de si e de sua produção artística. Para realizar tais análises, mobilizamos as discussões de autores como Paul Ricoeur, Leonor Arfuch e Pierre Bourdieu, acerca da escrita autobiográfica, bem como nos apropriamos do debate de Benoît Denis acerca da literatura engajada.

Published: November 2022

O artigo discute a historiografia produzida no Instituto Histórico e Geográfico do Rio Grande do Norte (IHGRN), com o objetivo de analisar a ritualização do poder formulada pelos sócios. Portanto, buscamos trazer à lupa, a partir da Revista do IHGRN, elementos simbólicos, usos do passado, usos políticos da história, todo um trabalho realizado discursivamente nesta rede de sociabilidade potiguar. Assim, é possível considerar as narrativas desses intelectuais como instrumento para ganhos de legitimidade, ou seja, um recurso simbólico, dentro do grêmio. Com isso, pode-se ter em mente uma das formas que os usos do passado foram feitos por uma das instituições mais antigas do Estado potiguar, por conseguinte, na historiografia norte-rio-grandense. Para realizar essa investigação, a leitura será guiada a partir do conceito de campo intelectual, do sociólogo francês Pierre Bourdieu.
Marcel Gauchet, Pierre Rosanvallon e o problema do político na democracia.
Authors: Carvalho Guilherme Amorim
Published: November 2022

A partir de um esforço interdisciplinar, o presente ensaio tem por objetivo traçar uma reflexão acerca da importância do político para os estudos em sociologia e história, sobretudo no que diz respeito à modernidade e aos caminhos percorridos pela democracia, desde sua concepção moderna até a contemporaneidade, momento no qual ela é avaliada e analisada com certo ceticismo por certa parte daqueles que a vivenciam e a teorizam. Tal reflexão se dará a partir da leitura de quatro textos pré-selecionados de dois autores que merecem maior consideração em relação aos estudos políticos. A saber: “Por uma história do político”, e “Malaise dans la démocratie”, de Pierre Rosanvallon, e “Introduction. Les Figures du Politique” e “La condicion Historica. Conversaciones con François Azouvi y Sylvain Piron”, de Marcel Gauchet.Palavras-chave: Cultura Política – Democracia – Modernidade

O lugar do cativeiro na construção informativa do ultramar português: o caso da China (1524-1556)
Authors: Foltran Ulbrich Cláudio César
Published: November 2022

O advento da modernidade no século XV foi marcado por uma primeira integração global plena, uma vez que, pela primeira vez, Europa, América, África e Ásia estabeleceram contatos regulares. Com isso, surge a necessidade de sujeitos que pudessem transitar entre diferentes mundos e produzir informações acerca de terras até então desconhecidas ou apenas parcialmente conhecidas. Este artigo pretende discutir o papel crucial do cativo na transmissão e tradução de diferentes mundos para leitores europeus, focando principalmente sua posição política no meio ibérico no contexto da expansão imperial no ultramar. Para tanto, focar-se-á no caso específico dos cativos na China, que produziram as primeiras informações mais aprofundadas e fidedignas sobre geografia, sociedade e defesas daquelas partes, bem como na função política de utilidade assumida junto aos esforços de expansão imperial portuguesa.
Os Círculos Literários Femininos e o debate sobre a mulher virtuosa nos Estados Unidos do século XIX
Authors: Verona Stéfani Oliveira
Published: November 2022

O tema deste estudo são os Círculos Literários Femininos do século XIX nos Estados Unidos, país que passava por uma reestruturação política após a Independência. Busco entender o debate das mulheres sobre a imagem reservada a elas como “Mães Republicanas virtuosas” que fazia delas cidadãs, mas sem direitos formais. Busco responder à questão de como as mulheres se organizaram através das redes de sociabilidade e de amizade para questionar padrões de gênero em uma sociedade que idealizava ideias de “igualdade”. O objetivo é entender as contradições em torno da imagem mulher, encarando os Círculos Literários Femininos como espaços de discussão política. Através da literatura, da escrita e da educação as mulheres provaram sua virtude cidadã fora do vínculo doméstico ou com os homens, contribuindo com voz ativa para as discussões sobre a cidadania republicana e questionando seu papel paradoxal através dos Círculos Literários.

Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis is one of the most common and debilitating pathologies evaluated by the hand surgeon, affecting up to 35% of individuals over 55 years of age. Though multifactorial in etiology, dorsal and radial subluxation of the thumb CMC due to incompetency of the volar beak ligament is thought to be among the most important factors contribution to the arthritis. Multiple operative interventions have been proposed to best address this pathology. In the United States, trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) as described by Burton and Pellegrini remains the most widely used technique. As an isolated trauma, dislocation of the thumb CMC joint is a rare injury, only comprising approximately 1% of injuries evaluated by hand surgeons. Typically, thumb CMC dislocations occur due to axial load with the thumb in a flexed position. They are most commonly dorsal dislocations, and are thought to occur due to failure of the dorsoradial ligament. To date, no cases of CMC dislocation after LRTI have yet been described in the literature. Here we present a patient with volar thumb CMC dislocation as a rare complication after LRTI. After percutaneous pinning and immobilization followed by hand therapy, the patient has had a successful return to work with improved pain, restored function, and no further instability.

Travma sonrası stres belirtilerinin sürdürülmesinde önemli bir role sahip olduğu bilinen travma sonrası utanca ait bir ölçme aracının hem araştırma hem de klinik değerlendirme amacıyla kullanılabilmesi önemlidir. Bu araştırmanın amacı travma sonrası utancı ölçen Travma Sonrası Utanç Ölçeği’nin (TSUÖ; Øktadalen ve ark., 2014) cinsel travma yaşantısı olan kadın örnekleminde Türkçe psikometrik özelliklerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Araştırmaya cinsel travma yaşantısına sahip olan 18-55 yaş arasındaki 604 kadın katılmıştır. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 32.5’tir. (Ss=10.0). TSUÖ’nun Türkçe formunun yapı geçerliğini test etmek amacıyla doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) yapılmıştır. Elde edilen DFA değerlerine göre (RMSEA = 0.07, S-RMR = 0.06, GFI = 0.99; IFI = 0.99; CFI = 0.99) TSUÖ’nun iki düzeyli iki boyutlu yapısının model uyumu kabul edilebilir olarak raporlanmıştır. Travma sonrası gelişen utancı içsel/ kınama, dışsal/ kınama, içsel/ duygusal-davranışsal, dışsal/ duygusal-davranışsal utanç boyutları ile değerlendiren TSUÖ toplam puanları ile korku kontrol kaybı (r= .64) ve travmatik stres belirtileri (r= .69) arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişkiler bulunmuştur. Travma Sonrası Stres Bozukluğu tanısı alan katılımcıların almayan katılımcılara kıyasla TSUÖ puanları anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek bulunmuştur (t (459.90) = 18.106, p< 0.01). TSUÖ’nün güvenirliği için Cronbach Alfa iç tutarlık katsayısı incelenmiştir. Faktörlere ait Cronbach Alpha iç tutarlık katsayısının .84 ile .92 arasında değiştiği, ölçeğin tamamına ait iç tutarlık katsayısının ise .97 olduğu görülmüştür. Bu bulgular ışığında TSUÖ’nün Türkçe formunun cinsel travma yaşantısı olan kadın örnekleminde geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu görülmüştür.

Literatürde metabolik hastalıkları nedeniyle cerrahiye başvuranlarla sadece kilo kaybı amacıyla non-metabolik nedenle cerrahiye başvuranlar bir bütün olarak incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı bu iki grubun farkını ortaya koyarak cerrahi öncesi gerekebilecek ek psikiyatrik müdahaleleri saptamak ve cerrahi sonrası olası komplikasyonları önlemeye katkıda bulunmaktır.
Genel cerrahi polikliniğinden cerrahi öncesi psikiyatrik değerlendirme için yönlendirilen hastalardan çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü olanlar alınmıştır. Non-metabolik cerrahiye başvuran 96 kişi ve metabolik cerrahiye başvuran 22 kişiden oluşan gruplar arasında ölçek puanları verisi istatistiksel analize tabi tutulmuştur.
Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeğinin benlik saygısı alt boyutu puanının non-metabolik cerrahi grubunda, metabolik cerrahi grubundan istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde daha yüksek olduğu (p=0,009) saptanmıştır. Non-metabolik cerrahi grubunda beden kitle indeksi (BKİ) ile durumluk-sürekli kaygı ölçekleri toplam puanları arasında orta düzeyde pozitif yönde korelasyon saptanmıştır [(r = 0.312, p = 0.002), (r=0.305, p=0.003)]. Metabolik cerrahi grubunda BKİ ile Duygusal İştah Anketi’nin Olumlu toplam puanı arasında yüksek düzeyde negatif yönde korelasyon saptanmıştır (r=-0,542, p=0.009). Yapılan regresyon analizinde Yeme Tutumu Testi toplam puanı Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği toplam puanı (β=.262, p=.034) tarafından yordanmıştır.
Bu çalışmada bariatrik non-metabolik cerrahiye başvuran kişilerle metabolik cerrahiye başvuran kişilerin yeme tutumu, duygusal iştah, anksiyete ve depresyon düzeylerinin benzer olduğu, non-metabolik cerrahiye başvuran kişilerin benlik saygısı metabolik cerrahiye başvuran kişilerden daha düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. Non-metabolik cerrahi grubunda süregen kaygı arttıkça BKİ’ nin arttığı saptanmıştır. Sürekli kaygının yeme tutumunu yordaması da bu bulguyu desteklemektedir. Metabolik cerrahi grubunda ise BKİ arttıkça olumlu duygularda iştahta azalma gözlenmiştir. Çalışmamızın kısıtlılıkları nedeniyle ileride yapılacak daha geniş kapsamlı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Background: Vestibular stimulation was reported to inhibit the stress axis and brings individual stress to lower levels. This is very beneficial as the management of psychological factors is equivalently important in the management of peptic ulcers.

Aims and Objectives: The present study was undertaken to observe the effectiveness of vestibular exercises in the management of depression, anxiety, and stress in gastric ulcer patients.

Materials and Methods: A total of 20 gastric ulcer patients without severe complications were part of the study after obtaining written informed consent. After recruiting, the participants were randomly assigned into two groups with ten participants in each group. Standard vestibular exercises mentioned in the literature were adopted. Each session of exercises comprises 45 min. Two sessions per week were administered to the participants for a period of 1 month.

Results: Depression, anxiety, and stress scores were not significantly different between the control and intervention groups before the intervention. There was a significant decrease in depression, anxiety, and stress in the intervention group followed by the intervention.

Conclusion: The present study results showed the beneficial effects of vestibular exercises in the management of negative psychological emotions such as depression, anxiety, and stress in patients with gastric ulcers. There is a need for large-scale studies in this area to recommend the adoption of vestibular stimulation in the management of gastric ulcers.
