Authors: Krishnamoorthi Sangeetha , L Prabhu , M Prabhahar , Mehaboob Adil , Abdulla Adil
Published: September 2024

This study aims to improve biodiesel production by assessing the effects of biodiesel-diesel fuel blends on engine performance and emissions using response surface methodology (RSM). The biodiesel was produced by the transesterification process. Here we see how the molar ratio (A), catalyst quantity (B), reaction temperature (C), and reaction time (D) affect the biodiesel conversion rate. During optimization, a Box-Behnken design (BBD) based on RSM was employed. Ideal conditions for achieving a biodiesel yield of 98.2069% were a B of 0.811601 wt%, a C of 75.8837°C, a D of 98.2069 min, and A of 10935:1. Adjusting parameters like engine speed and biodiesel fuel mix ratio enhanced engine behavior and condensed exhaust emissions. The trials were structured utilizing the central composite design (CCD) technique grounded on RSM. The optimum operating criteria for the engine were evaluated to be a biodiesel ratio of 12.5845% and speed of engine is 2011.24 rpm. Under these conditions, the power output was 50.0817kW, torque was 254.757 Nm, smoke opacity was 6.48966%, CO emissions were 270.009 ppm, and NOx emissions were 819.573 ppm.

In Brazil, we are faced with a diversity of religious groups. Where we can observe that the majority predominance is of Catholics, however, it should be noted that although there is a greater proportion of Catholics, our country has a high rate of Spiritualists, Evangelicals, not to mention those who declare themselves without religion, which is something very interesting to be addressed, not to mention that, given this plurality, our state is secular, which in the past it was not, but let's see that in this aspect everyone has the right to profess their faith as it suits them and no one, much less the state, can interfere or even restrict this freedom, which violated the legal dictates provided for in the Federal Constitution of 1988, so something interesting we are living in times of pandemic worldwide, with the advent of Covid-19, in which the Supreme Court allowed through of state decrees, state intervention so that it limits and even completely restricts at a given moment freedom of worship and even other face-to-face meetings, as far as possible. this intervention and what the limits are.
Modificaciones del tejido adiposo asociadas al entrenamiento aeróbico y su implicancia en la transformación de la hipertrofia cardíaca patológica en un modelo de ratas espontáneamente hipertensas
Authors:   , Cavalli Fiorella Anabel
Published: September 2024

Es de amplio conocimiento que el entrenamiento físico genera cambios benéficos sobre la salud cardiaca y metabólica. Sin embargo, los mecanismos que explican dichos beneficios no han sido del todo esclarecidos. Recientemente, se ha asociado al abeigizamiento del tejido adiposo (TA) como un potencial responsable de las mismas, siendo una herramienta muy prometedora para el tratamiento de la obesidad y patologías como las enfermedades cardiovasculares y el síndrome metabólico. Por lo tanto, definimos como objetivo de trabajo determinar si un protocolo de entrenamiento aeróbico (EA) aplicado a ratas espontáneamente hipertensas (SHR) es capaz de inducir el abeigizamiento del TA inguinal que, potencialmente, contribuya a las mejoras cardiometabólicas ya descriptas en nuestro modelo. Para ello se utilizaron ratas SHR macho distribuidas al azar en un grupo sedentario y otro sometido a una rutina de natación de 8 semanas. Al finalizar el protocolo experimental se procedió al sacrificio de los animales y se obtuvieron muestras de diferentes tejidos. En el presente trabajo de tesis doctoral encontramos que una rutina de natación a 32°C (entendida como un entrenamiento de tipo aeróbico) es capaz de mejorar la respuesta a la insulina de forma sistémica y órgano específica; y de provocar cierta mejoría en la función cardíaca contráctil. Inclusive, genera cambios en el estado mitocondrial del tejido adiposo, sin variaciones en el estado redox del tejido. Al estudiar el potencial responsable de estos cambios, encontramos que los mismos no pueden atribuirse al abeigizamiento del TA inguinal (ni epididimario), como se había hipotetizado inicialmente. Se ha de remarcar, que pese a no poder dilucidar el mecanismo detrás de los cambios observados, es evidente que el EA planteado es capaz de generar cambios benéficos en el organismo. Incluso, observamos que el mismo genera un aumento de la masa del TA marron y una menor área lipídica de sus adipocitos en el grupo de animalesentrenados. Por lo tanto, consideramos importante destacar que en la presente tesis se demuestra la capacidad del EA en producir modificaciones cardiacas y metabólicas, no solo a nivel sistémico, sino sobre el tejido adiposo lo cual hace que el EA sea una herramienta a tener en cuenta en el tratamiento de individuos con síndrome metabólico y/o enfermedades cardiometabolicas.

ASSOCIATION OF GLYCATED HEMOGLOBIN WITH ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE- A HOSPITAL BASED OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
Authors: Satish Mane Sagar , Patel Anjali , Thakkar Mitesh , Khan Ahmed
Published: September 2024

Background- Tight glucose control (TGC) improves clinical outcomes in critically ill non-stroke patients.
However, ICU investigations on rigorous glucose control does not conrm these promising benets. In
some trials, TGC increased the risk of hypoglycaemia and was associated with poor clinical outcomes. The latest ndings are
being used to discuss TGC's efcacy and safety. Ischemic stroke patients with hyperglycaemia can improve their prognosis
with TGC. However, safely delivering TGC to severely ill individuals seems tricky. This study examined the relationship
between HbA1c and acute ischemic stroke. HbA1c was estimated at admission to assess glycaemic status and to investigate its
prognostic signicance in Acute Ischemic Stroke by connecting it with outcome. Methods- This was an observational study
undertaken from March 2021 to December 2022 in the Department of Medicine at a Maharashtra tertiary care hospital in
central India. 100 acute ischemic stroke patients meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria gave written and informed consent.
Clinical and radiological examinations revealed acute ischemic stroke. Regular haematology tests were done. HbA1c was
taken for all patients. The NIHSS criteria determined stroke severity. The severity was measured on Days 0, 3, and 7. The
Modied Rankin Scale examined stroke outcome. Data was examined with SPSS-25. Results- There was male preponderance
with 72% of the study participants being males. The mean age was 57.86 ± 13.95 years. A total of 31 study participants were
diabetic. When assessed according to the NIHSS score, it was observed that the mean score for 100 cases on Day 0 was 11.20 ±
3.87; range: 4.00 to 26.00. Most of the cases had MRS score of 3 to 5 (74%), followed by 0 to 2 (15%) and 6 (11%). HbA1c showed
signicant weakly positive correlation with NIHSS score at Day 0, Day 3 and Day 7 (P value < 0.001). When assessed for MRS
score and HbA1c, HbA1c showed a signicant weakly positive correlation with the MRS score. (P value < 0.001) ConclusionThe severity of the score (as assessed by the NIHSS score) and the outcome (as assessed by the MRS score) have a signicantly
positive correlation with HbA1c. Also, assessing according to the known history of diabetes, the outcome is poorer in diabetics
as compared to non-diabetics. Thus, chronic hyperglycemia may also be a risk factor for poorer outcome following acute
ischemic stroke.
IPTACOPAN, A FACTOR B INHIBITOR- A GAME CHANGER IN TREATING REFRACTORY PNH, IGA NEPHROPATHY, MEMBRANOUS NEPHROPATHY, AND ITP: A NARRATIVE REVIEW.

Published: September 2024

The proximal complement inhibitor, IPTACOPAN is the pioneer in treating a vast variety of complement
mediated diseases [1,13]. The fact that it acts upstream in the complement synthesis pathway by
inhibiting Factor B [1], prevents the formation of C3 convertase which plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Paroxysmal
Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH), IgA nephropathy, Membranous Nephropathy, and Immune thrombocytopenic purpura
[5,6,9,14]. Studies have shown that the usage of Iptacopan for PNH has led to an increase in the Hemoglobin (Hb) levels by at
least a minimum of 2gm/dl and majority of the patients in the treatment group did not have to receive transfusion [2]. It is
effective in preventing both extravascular and intravascular hemolysis [14]. A phase 2 study on Iptacopan for treatment of IgA
nephropathy showed a statistically signicant dose-response effect with 10mg, 20mg, 100mg and 200mg in reducing urine
protein creatinine ratio (UPCR) [3]. Both in Membranous nephropathy and Immune thrombocytopenic purpura patients who are
refractory to current standard treatments, Iptacopan has proved to be efcient in improving the clinical status of such patients
[6,9]. In this review below we discuss the potential ways in which Iptacopan has proved to be effective in treating some of the
complement mediated diseases.
STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE OPIOID USE IN ONCOLOGICAL PAIN CONTROL: A NARRATIVE SYNTHESIS
Authors: Castaño Arbeláez David Ricardo
Published: September 2024

Effective pain management is crucial in oncological care, with opioids often serving as the cornerstone for
controlling severe pain. Opioids are valued for their efcacy, versatility in administration, ease of titration,
and ability to alleviate somatic, visceral, and neuropathic pain. However, balancing optimal analgesia with minimizing adverse
effects and misuse risk is challenging. Comprehensive patient assessments, vigilant monitoring for misuse, and strategies to
mitigate side effects like constipation, sedation, and respiratory depression are essential. Morphine, oxycodone,
hydromorphone, fentanyl, methadone, and buprenorphine each offer unique benets and challenges. Effective opioid use
requires thorough patient assessment, careful opioid selection and dosing, and proactive side effect management.

Published: September 2024

Perioperative patients, including trauma victims undergoing orthopedic surgery, are at increased risk of
venous thromboembolism, with immobility being the highest risk factor. The presence of shock and right
ventricular failure are associated with adverse outcomes. Helical computed tomography scanning is the denitive diagnostic
study. The choice of anaesthesia depends on hemodynamic stability, and surgery should be performed as early as possible to
avoid complications associated with pulmonary thromboembolism. Here, a 70-year-old female with a history of a fall was
diagnosed with an intracapsular neck femur fracture and successfully underwent proximal femoral nailing under spinal
anaesthesia.

Published: September 2024

The number of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are progressing to end-stage renal failure
is growing at an alarming rate. Among this population, one of the signicant morbidities is a marked
increase in fracture risk, which can be as high as 46.3 per 1000 person-years. This elevated risk is primarily due to metabolic
bone changes associated with CKD, which often result in weakened bones and an increased susceptibility to fractures. A key
factor in preventing fractures in these patients is addressing mineral imbalances, particularly vitamin D deciency, which is
common in CKD. Ensuring that patients maintain adequate levels of vitamin D and other essential minerals is crucial for bone
health. However, some patients do not respond adequately to traditional mineral supplementation. For these individuals,
alternative therapies such as denosumab, a medication that helps to strengthen bone by inhibiting bone resorption, should be
considered. This review investigates the specic fracture risks faced by dialysis patients and provides a comprehensive guide
for effective fracture management in this vulnerable population. By implementing targeted strategies to address mineral
imbalances and exploring viable alternative treatments, healthcare providers can signicantly improve the quality of life and
outcomes for patients with CKD.

Published: September 2024

The utilization of robots has revolutionized production effectiveness compared to manpower in various
industries. With advanced automation, robots can work around the clock with precision, consistency, and
speed, leading increased productivity and reduced operational costs. Additionally, robots can perform tasks that are
hazardous or repitive for humans, improving workplace safety and employee satisfaction. This paper highlights the robotics
utilisation and the production effectiveness as compared to humans. Through this study, I found that organisation need to
upgrade the robots for better utilization and the production effectiveness is better than humans. The data collection was done
through interview schedule. To analyse the collected data, I used Percentage analysis, one way ANOVA, Paired sample
statistics, Krushkal wallis, Wilcoxon sign rank test. Thorugh this study I can suggest something to the companies. Organisation
need to upgrade the existing robots for better utilization of materials. The programs should be updated appropriately to the
robots. They need to provide proper training to the employees who are working with the robots. Improper knowledge leads to
accident and reduction in the production rate. Organisation should insist the employees to wore the Personal protective
equipment while working with the robots. Reducing the material xing time can shorten the robotic cycle time, by selecting the
appropriate material and xture for the placement it can be decreased. And also, it is better to invest more on robotics than
hiring human workers because robots productivity is better than humans. Frequent testing of the safety systems and the robot's
operation mechanism is necessary to prevent mishaps and to boost productivity. This may helps the organisation to be better in
the robotics and to increase the company's prot level. It is adviced to use the robots in the entire production process to increase
output with high quality. It is recommended that the management should appoint competent personnel to operate the robots.
Organisation should consider the above suggestions for better productivity.

The role of anesthesia in cancer surgery extends beyond mere perioperative management, signicantly
impacting tumor pathophysiology and patient outcomes. This review examines the nuanced interactions
between anesthetic agents and the body's immune system, focusing on how these interactions inuence tumor progression and
recurrence. Volatile anesthetics, such as isourane and sevourane, suppress immune functions such as natural killer cell
activity and lymphocyte proliferation, potentially increasing metastasis risks. In contrast, intravenous agents like propofol
demonstrate less immunosuppression and may help preserve immune functions, offering potential protective effects against
cancer recurrence. Furthermore, regional anesthesia techniques, which minimize the need for systemic opioids and volatile
anesthetics, are associated with improved long-term oncological outcomes, including reduced metastasis rates and enhanced
survival.

YOGA TRADITION IN ANCIENT INDIAN LITERATURE
Authors: Balyan Nisha
Published: September 2024

After the signicance and success of the Vedas, many ideological powers and branches were born on the
basis of the Vedas. Through these branches, various types of Upanishads were born. When we discuss
about Yoga, its development and propagation is seen in the Vedas and Upanishads. Upanishads are seen in the mainstream as
the highest meaningful source of Indian knowledge tradition. We can also say that Yoga originated from the Vedas and it was
nurtured in the Upanishads. A very beautiful description of all the queries of human life and their answers is found in the
Upanishads. From the origin of life, the created world to the purpose of life, the philosophical and psychological analysis of
happiness and sorrow is found in the Upanishads. The importance of Yoga has been considered in the Upanishads both
theoretically and practically. The solution to most of the problems occurring in the present time can be found in the Upanishads.
We only have to understand them well and follow them. Through the study of Upanishads, man moves from narrow knowledge
to innite knowledge, from limited power to innite energy, from the sorrows of the world to innite joy and from bondage to the
eternal peace of innite liberation. Keeping all these things in mind, here we discuss the description of Yoga in detail in the
Upanishads.

Objective: To estimate the accuracy of MRI in diagnosing and differentiating between orbital lymphoma
and pseudotumors with histopathological correlation. Materials And Methods: This prospective
analytical study was conducted in the Radiology department of a tertiary-care hospital and included 21 patients referred from
the Ophthalmology department whose MRI was done in our department and a diagnosis of lymphoma or pseudotumor was
given. These patients were followed up to obtain a nal diagnosis. Results: Of the 21 patients, 10 patients were conrmed to
have pseudotumors and 11 patients were conrmed to have lymphoma. MRI correctly identied pseudotumors in 7 out of 10
patients and ruled them out in 8 out of 11 patients. Similarly, MRI identied lymphoma correctly in 8 out of 11 patients and ruled it
out in 7 out of 10 patients. Sensitivity and specicity were calculated for the results with 95% condence intervals. Conclusion:
T2-weighted images in MRI are most useful in differentiating lymphoma from pseudotumor with a sensitivity of 70% and
specicity of 72.7%. Further studies with advanced sequences like DWI, perfusion and dynamic contrast may help in increasing
the diagnostic accuracy of MRI.

Evaluación de la afectividad en el aula: posibilidades y pistas para su aplicación
Authors: Fragoso Franco David
Published: September 2024

La evaluación de la afectividad es una acción educativa que ha sido poco trabajada por los maestros en los diferentes niveles escolares, también ha sido poco estudiada por las disciplinas que la pueden y la abordan. 
Ante ello, es necesario que se realice investigación sistemática y científica de la Afectividad, la educación en la misma y su evaluación. 
Con respecto a este último rubro, se tiene mayor avance en la propuesta de test o de cuestionarios que han buscado medir algunos aspectos de la afectividad; sin embargo, si pedimos a google documentos sobre afectividad nos da 183 millones, de evaluación de la afectividad 375 mil; esto significa que la evaluación en este ámbito es un rubro poco trabajado en la producción de conocimiento. 
La evaluación de la afectividad es un proceso por medio del cual obtenemos datos que nos permiten fortalecer su proceso de desarrollo y el de sus constitutivos: emoción, sentimiento, afecto, motivación, pasión; asimismo, nos da datos sobre cómo se lleva a cabo este fenómeno en la vida escolar, en el ámbito educativo y en la vida diaria. 
De este modo podemos realizar evaluación cuantitativa y cualitativa de la misma, así como evaluación inicial o diagnóstica, formativa y sumativa. 
El objetivo del presente artículo es discurrir sobre la evaluación de la afectividad de forma que el profesor o persona interesada pueda conocer diferentes aspectos de la misma, sus constitutivos, sus supuestos, así como los principios de la evaluación de este campo y tener así una serie de posibilidades y pistas didácticas para desarrollarlas. La evaluación de la afectividad puede ser intencionada o no, conocida o no, para lo cual hay diversas propuestas de evaluación en tanto si el profesor internacionalizando dicho proceso dentro de los objetivos, elabora objetivos afectivos y su desarrollo a través de estrategias; lo intenciona y desarrolla durante el diseño curricular de aula; pero, si no es intencionado y sucede en el aula, el profesor puede trabajarlo como proceso de reflexión y de consciencia con sus estudiantes. Finalmente, si el docente no sabe de afectividad pero le interesa incluir esta dentro de su curso, puede recurrir a programas ya elaborados y que son adaptables a cualquier institución y nivel.

Abstract
This study aims to analyze the impact of the scientific approach on the creative thinking skills of seventh-grade students at SMPN 16 Mataram. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a post-test only control group model. The sample consisted of two classes: an experimental class (28 students) taught using the scientific approach and a control class (28 students) taught using conventional methods. Creative thinking skills data were collected through essay tests covering four main indicators: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Statistical analysis revealed that the average post-test score of creative thinking skills in the experimental class reached 72.32, compared to 62.67 in the control class. The t-test results indicated a tcount? of 3.28, which is greater than the ttable? of 1.67 at a 0.05 significance level, suggesting a significant difference between the two groups. These findings confirm that the scientific approach is significantly more effective in enhancing students' creative thinking skills compared to conventional teaching methods. Based on these results, it is recommended that the scientific approach be more widely integrated into the educational curriculum to more effectively develop students' creative thinking skills.

A falta de informação para a sociedade sobre educação em saúde, principalmente, zoonoses e posse responsável, impacta, diretamente, no bem-estar dos cães. O presente trabalho apresenta o projeto de extensão sobre guarda responsável e controle de natalidade de cães promovido, pela Prefeitura Municipal de Jaboticabal (SP) e pela Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), campus Jaboticabal/SP, como estímulo para instituições de ensino superior reproduzirem a parceria. A ação conjunta do Departamento de Defesa e Proteção Animal, devidamente assessorada pelos médicos-veterinários participantes, foi fundamental na desafiadora função de identificar os tutores e seus animais em vulnerabilidade e não castrados, entendendo e esclarecendo dúvidas que os conscientizaram sobre a suas responsabilidades diante da criação e manutenção de cães, bem como da importância e segurança em participarem do projeto. Durante um ano, foram triados 140 animais, com 90 submetidos à esterilização cirúrgica e 38 considerados inaptos, encaminhados para tratamento. Isso demonstra como a união entre a massa de conhecimento tecnificado, existente nas instituições de ensino superior, e o poder público pode impactar, positivamente, na sociedade.
