Published: March 2022

L’utilisation des feuilles de Nerium oleander L. pour l’extraction de molécules bioactives d’intérêt pharmaceutique impliquent le développement de techniques analytiques permettant de contrôler la qualité des feuilles et pour diagnostiquer des maladies. Des modèles chimiométriques utilisant des spectres visibles et proche infrarouge de feuilles de N. oleander ont été utilisés pour tester la faisabilité du contrôle de leur qualité. Les résultats fournis par l’analyse en composantes principales montrent que les feuilles malades et saines peuvent être distinguées en fonction de leur spectre visible ou proche infrarouge. Comme les modèles ACP ne sont pas prédictifs, un modèle d’analyse discriminante PLS-DA est mis en oeuvre. Le modèle de prédiction a été testé sur des échantillons non inclus dans la calibration, les feuilles malades ont pu être identifiées en fonction des spectres visibles avec 100 % de bonne classification et à partir de leurs spectres NIR avec 80 % de bonne classification.

Authors: R Lokeswari , P. S Sharanyakanth , R Mahendran
Published: March 2022

Pearl millet is one of the high-grown and underutilized grain crops. It is confined to traditional foods due to its anti-nutritional and functional properties. The present study investigated the influence of plasma processed air bubbling and soaking on phytic acid content, total and HCl extractable iron, physicochemical, techno-functional, and pasting properties of pearl millet. Exposure of pearl millet to plasma processed air bubbling at 180 V with an airflow rate of 10 liters /h for 1 h and 2 h reduced phytic acid content by 60.66 % and 39.27 % respectively. Whereas soaking for 12 h reduced phytic acid by 21.6 % in contrast with the untreated sample. The total iron content reduced from 39.9 to 29.8 mg/100g and HCl extractable iron content increased from 12 % to 69.49 % with the given treatments. Obtained data were noticed with significant changes (p < 0.05) and are in line with its exposure to the selected variable treatments. This work points to the potentiality of plasma processed air pre-treatment in the food industry to improve nutrition and mineral availability accompanied by modifying pasting, techno-functional properties of pearl millet.

Authors: Asokan Ayna , N Unnithan Sreeleja
Published: March 2022

For a variety of reasons, handwritten text can be digitalized. It is used in a variety of government entities, including banks, post offices, and archaeological departments. Handwriting recognition, on the other hand, is a difficult task as everyone has a different writing style. There are essentially two methods for handwritten recognition: a holistic and an analytic approach. The previous methods of handwriting recognition are time- consuming. However, as deep neural networks have progressed, the approach has become more straightforward than previous methods. Furthermore, the bulk of existing solutions are limited to a single language. To recognise multilanguage handwritten manuscripts offline, this work employs an analytic approach. It describes how to convert Malayalam and Kannada handwritten manuscripts into editable text. Lines are separated from the input document first. After that, word segmentation is performed. Finally, each word is broken down into individual characters. An artificial neural network is utilised for feature extraction and classification. After that, the result is converted to a word document.

Degradation kinetics of color, antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, and physicochemical investigation of blanched amaranthus leaves puree by FTIR
Authors: Meher Jagamohan , Meher Rajanandini
Published: March 2022

The aim of the analysis was to find the optimal blanching period for Amaranthus tricolor leaves purees (ATP), that would result in the highest retention of total antioxidant activity (TAA), total polyphenol content (TPC), and chlorophyll (Chl) to boost their functional activity. ATP was blanched for 1, 3, 5, and 7 minutes at 70, 80, and 900C for this analysis. The influence of blanching times on physicochemical, TAA, TPC, and Chl values was then studied. The unblanched and blanched puree was investigated using FTIR analysis (900C for 3 min). The variations in moisture content in ATP were not significant in the physicochemical analysis. There is a substantial decrease in ash content and a rise in pH value with increasing blanching time (p<0.05). As the blanching time for ATP was raised, the percent of the water-soluble index improved significantly (p<0.05). Content of TAA, TPC, and Chl in the ATP was steadily reduced as the blanching time was increased. The degradations of TAA, TPC, and Chl of ATP are well fit by first-order kinetic models, with coefficient determination (R2) ranging from 0.86-0.98. The presence of ketone and alcohol is confirmed by the functional group obtained during the FTIR analysis of the sample. The results can promote household blanching as well as the food industry to prescribe a certain blanching period for vegetables to preserve their TAA, TPC, and Chl values.

Published: March 2022

The development of frozen yogurt supplemented with an oily extract from carrot was the main focus of this study. The research aim converged from the fact that Daucus carota L. are among the worldwide most consumed vegetables, exhibiting numerous health benefits. Both analysed variants (the control sample and the fortified sample) presented high total carotenoids, β-carotene, and lycopene contents. The addition of the oily extract from carrot caused a significant increase of the total carotenoids, respectively the β-carotene contents. Also, these functional dairy products registered a slight increase in the antioxidant activity compared to the control sample, the fortified variant having the highest value (93.95±0.050%). The total polyphenols content varied depending on the analysed variant, from 0.122±0.006 to 1.712±0.008 mg/g dry weight (DW) while the content of total flavonoids varied from 0.065±0.001 to 0.780±0.002 mg/g DW. The carrot and blueberries’ HPLC profiles also highlighted the abundance of the bioactive compounds. The confocal microscopy analysis of the fortified frozen yogurt revealed a complex microstructure due to the diversity of the biochemical compounds, a microstructure that preserved the probiotic strain very well and comprised functional properties to the final product. The frozen dairy product enriched with carrot extract can be considered an innovative functional product as it was designed to provide the consumer with various beneficial effects based on its high content of biologically active compounds.

Authors: Arinola Stephen Olanrewaju , Ezekiel Olufunke Oluseyi , Ogunbusola Eunice Moriyike
Published: March 2022

The focus of this study was to produce composite flour with nutritional and functional potentials from underutilized and inexpensive crops, which can be used in food formulations as a substitute to composite flours from commonly used and expensive crops. The proximate, mineral, and amino acid compositions, resistant starch content and in vitro starch digestibility of breadfruit-bambara groundnut (100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, and 60:40 respectively) composite flours were investigated using standard methods. Data generated were subjected to statistical analysis. Inclusion of bambara groundnut in the composite flours significantly (p≤0.05) increased protein (5.06-16.96%), ash (1.54-2.71%), fat (1.06-1.96%), potassium (727.82-797.73 mg/100g), phosphorus (143.36-177.32 mg/100g), magnesium (92.71-117.05 mg/100g) and resistant starch (11.45-21.98%) contents, while it significantly (p≤0.05) reduced fibre (4.65-5.39%), carbohydrate (65.33-79.69%), sodium (48. 64-71.25 mg/100g), and calcium (57.65-64.50 mg/100g) contents, as well as in vitro starch digestibility (40.41-58.75%). All the essential amino acids were present; they constituted 34.69 – 37.94% of the total amino acid. The predicted protein efficiency ratio ranged from 2.14 to 2.82. This study suggests that breadfruit-bambara groundnut composite flours may find usefulness in different food formulations and may exhibit lower postprandial hyperglycemia which is important for obese and diabetic patients.
The Involuntariness of Will. Borders and Circulation of People in the Kingdom of Mari (Syria -18th Century BC)
Authors: Rovira Leticia , Molla Cecilia
Published: March 2022

In general, borders represent not only a physical issue but also a social one. All over time, social actors circulated through borders implicitly or explicitly forced by the political powers (tribe, state, etc.). In oriental antiquity, the borders (pat.um) of the realms were unstable: they were in constant mutation and movement. For this reason, it is necessary to investigate the circulation of people through such borders in order to achieve a better understanding of them. In the syro-mesopotamian area during the Old Babylonian period, borders between realms, cities and villages were an important axis of the socio-political layout. At this time, the kingdom of Mari gives us a signifi cant amount of written sources where we can track and analyze people's movements between kingdoms. In this paper, we want to inquire into some topics related with forced circulation of people set on the premise that not all the movements that were considered voluntary were actually so.

The results of experimental studies on the influence of variable temperatures of egg incubation (37.8°C - 1...14 days; 39.5°C for 2 hours daily - 15-17 days; 37.5°C - 18 days; 37.0 °C - 19-20 days) on the growth and development of chicken embryos of egg crosses "Hisex Brown" and "Lohmann Brown" in different periods of embryogenesis. Under conditions of variable temperature incubation of eggs in the embryos of hens of the Lohmann Brown cross, compared with the Hisex Brown, there was a statistically significant increase in the absolute values of body weight by 12 (p=0.011), 14 (p=0.001), 15 (p= 0.000), 20 (p=0.000) days, body length - on days 6 (p=0.000), 8 (p=0.000), 9 (p=0.025), 13…16 (p=0.000) days. Differences in the rhythm of the growth of chicken embryos were established, accompanied by 5 critical stages of the growth rate of body weight and 6 critical stages of the growth rate of body length in the Haysex Brown cross, and in the embryos of the Lohmann Brown cross - 4 and 1 critical stages, respectively. Throughout the studied period of embryogenesis in the studied crosses, the highest intensity of the growth rate of weight and body length was noted in the embryonic period of development with a decrease towards the hatching period. The highest specific weight growth rate in the embryonic period is typical for embryos of chickens "Hisex Brown" (p=0.000), and body length - for embryos of the cross "Lohmann Brown" (p=0.047). In subsequent periods of embryonic development, the specific rate of growth in body weight and length decreased in both crosses. Differences in the specific rate of body weight growth in embryos of chickens "Hisex Brown" and "Lohmann Brown" in the prefetal (p=0.680) and fetal periods (p=0.477) were not found, and in the specific rate of body length growth - in the prefetal (p= 0.709), fetal periods (p=0.942) and hatching period (p=0.918). By the hatching period, the specific body weight growth rate prevailed in the Lohmann Brown embryos (p=0.000). The effect of exposure to variable incubation temperatures was accompanied by a higher percentage of chick hatchability of the Lohmann Brown cross (94.90%) compared to the Highsex Brown cross (91.90%). The results obtained indicate the feasibility of using the proposed mode of incubation with variable temperatures for cross-country chickens "Lohmann Brown".

Published: March 2022

In order to solve a complex of acute problems and move towards sustainable development of the hunting economy in Russia, it is necessary to improve the accuracy and objectivity of data on the number of game animals. Existing methods of counting the number are based on direct recalculation or analysis of certain indirect evidence of their vital activity. Technologies of predictive analytics and analysis of big data obtained as a result of animal counts (both traditional and digital methods) can potentially lead to new data on daily routes, activity, distribution of animals depending on the characteristics of the territory, which will significantly increase the accuracy of counts in further. Studies of the number of game animals in small areas were carried out in January-February 2019 and 2020. Using the method of digital accounting, the number of game animals in the territories of the Kemerovo regional public organization "Hunting Society "Muryukskoye"" (JSC "Hunting Society "Muryukskoye"" and hunting farms "Taydonskoye" and LLC "Hunting farm "Shestakovskoye"" was analyzed. An underestimated declared according to the results of winter route counts of the number of most species of game animals in the Muryukskoye Hunting Society and the Taydonskoye hunting farm. It was found in Shestakovskoye Hunting Farm LLC that the results for ungulates and wild boar, which the farm specializes in breeding, have a fairly high accuracy However, for those species that Shestakovskoye Hunting Farm LLC does not specialize in, the accuracy of accounting is lower. The identified underestimation of some predatory animals can lead to risks for populations of many species.

This paper describes a highly sensitive microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometer sensor module to measure micro muscle sounds. Regarding the drift mechanism, we focus on charged particles based on residual water related to MEMS fabrication. Based on temperature programmed desorption analysis and electrical experiments, it is clarified that the drift is caused by negatively charged OH− and is suppressed by vacuum packaging. The noise floor can be reduced by the improved sensitivity of the MEMS accelerometer. The developed MEMS accelerometer can realize the sensitivity of 1157.0 fF/G and Brownian noise of 149.0 nG/√Hz. The developed sensor module consisting of the developed MEMS accelerometer and the capacitance to digital converter can achieve a noise floor of 26.7 μG/√Hz without any obvious drifts, establishing the target value of less than 50 μG/√Hz. Therefore, it is confirmed that the developed sensor module can detect micro muscle sounds without contracting a muscle in the frequency range of 20–40 Hz.

industrial growth in Gujarat state,it can be said that Gujarat still did not lost its potential and growth in playing its part in
agricultural development.Agriculture finance on other side has its crucial role to play in growth of agriculture Finance.
The present paper indicates the potential and performance of agriculture in Gujarat state and also attempt has been
made to address agriculture finance performance in Gujarat. Gujarat has not preserved and developed its natural
resources when it comes to farming. Farmers also suffer due to lack of irrigation facilities.The methods of cultivation in
most areas of India are still ancient. Farmers are not able to adopt modernization due to lack of fund and exposure
towards it.It is the government which concentrate more on agriculture finance by providing micro credit,crop loan and
crop insurance,which aim to uplift stand of living of the farmers.

Authors: Bora Kalpesh , Bora Kantilal , Bora Akshay
Published: March 2022

Aims And Objectives:To study the Efficacy of Vitamin C therapy on burn patients.
Material And Methods:We enrolled 20adult patients with severe burns (more than 30%) from January 2020 to October
2021 at Plastic Surgery and Burns Hospital, Dhule. Patients with co- morbidities and with pre existing diseases were
excluded from the study.
Results: Fluid requirement in Group A was 3.74 ± 0.57 ml/kg/% of burns and in Group B was 2.46 ± 0.54 ml/kg/% of
burns.Urine output was 1.05 ± 0.28 ml/kg/h in Group A, and in Group B,it was 1.42 ± 0.39 ml/kg/h. Fluid retention and
body weight gain were lower in Group B.MDA levels were significantly lower at 36 h in Group B.
Discussion:The initial fluid resuscitation in major burn trauma is intravenous infusion of crystalloids solutions to correct
hypovolemia and to improve peripheral tissue perfusion.[14] The accepted norms are to monitor the adequacy of
resuscitation with urine output of 0.5–1.0 ml/kg/h of body weight and stable hemodynamic status. There have been
reports of over resuscitation of burn patients leading to problems such as anasarca,abdominal compartment syndrome,
prolonged mechanical ventilation,and pneumonias.This has been termed as “fluid creep”phenomenon.
Conclusions: In our study, we found that when high dose Vitamin C (12-15gram) is given as adjuvant therapy in
resuscitating the burn patients in the first 48 h,it decreases fluid requirement,increases urine output,and decreases fluid
retention in body.

Colorectal troubles are frequently common in medical practice ranging from mild nonspecific complaints to serious
suffering. Colonic mucosal biopsies are considering one of the diagnostic tool in the evaluation of patients with
colorectal pathologies. The objectives of this study are focusing for interpretation various spectrum of colonoscopic
biopsies and to provide a guide to the plan of management strategy. This retrospective study was including 250
colonoscopic biopsies collected during the from December 2015 through January 2020. Among them 160 cases were of
the Non-Inflammatory Bowel Disease Colitis (NIBDC) entities whereas, remaining 90 cases were Inflammatory Bowel
Disease (IBD). Among the first one, 100 (40%) cases were Non-specific colitis, 13 (5.2%) bacterial colitis, 2 (0.8%)
collagenous colitis, 15 (6%) hyperplastic polyp, 5 (2%) Peutz-Jeuger's polyps, 5 (2%) solitary rectal ulcer, 4 (1.6%)
eosinophilic colitis, 3 (1.2%) Juvenile polyp, and 3 (1.2%) were melanosis coli, and remaining 10 (4%) cases were
unremarkable. In regard to the IBD, 60 cases (24%) were ulcerative colitis and 30 (12%) Crohn disease. Majority of
colonic troubles are linked to non-specific pathologies whereas, IBD is considering the second detectable colonic
lesions in our study.
EXPRESSION OF TYPE 1 FIMBRIAE ENHANCES VIRULENCE OF UROPATHOGENIC E. COLI BY BIOFILM FORMATION
Authors: Ghanwate Niraj , Thakare Prashant
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: Many bacterial infections are associated with biofilm formation. It is one of the important virulent
factors of E. coli in urinary tract, causing recurrent and drug resistant infections. Fecal E. coli colonize the urethra and
spread up the urinary tract to the bladder and kidney. Type 1 fimbriae are surface located adhesion organelles of E. coli
that are directly associated with adherence to the urinary tract. The present study was aimed to study biofilm production
in E. coli isolated from urinary tract infection and to correlate it with expression of fimH gene and compare its sequences.
METHOD: Total 150 urine samples were processed for isolation and identification of uropathogens. E. coli isolates were
further processed for detection of biofilm by TCP method and screened for the presence of fimH gene by PCR using
specific primers. The PCR products were purified and sequenced bidirectionally by Sanger dideoxy sequencing
system using ABI 3500 Genetic analyzer.
RESULTS: From the total 98 urine samples with significant bacteriuria, 77 E. coli were isolated out of which, 40 were
positive for in vitro biofilm production. Among them11 were classified as strong biofilm producers and 29 as moderate.
The fimH gene from E. coli isolates was amplified using specific primers and appeared as a band of about 508bp on
agarose gel. It was noted that the fimH gene was detected in moderate and strong biofilm forming E. coli while absent in
non biofilm isolates. The sequences showed 99% similarity with fim H gene of E coli.
CONCLUSION: The high binding ability of fimH could result in increased bacterial binding to target cells and increased
pathogenicity of E. coli.
IMPLEMENTATION OF NIGERIA NATURAL RESOURCE CHARTER: A FRAMEWORK FOR ADDRESSING OIL MINING COST IN THE NIGER DELTA
Authors: ALLEN FIDELIS
Published: March 2022

Good governance of natural resources in resource-rich countries has always faced a huge challenge. Making natural resource governance more responsive to the needs of the people and their environment is a key concern among those who argue that sustainable extraction is crucial for development. In the case of oil and gas, regimes, — regulations, laws, policies and institutions– have continued to evolve, as part of efforts by governments to manage these resources in affected countries. Yet, regime performance has persistently fallen below expectations, especially in the developing world. Failure has been noticed in many areas, including flawed extractive activities, violation of human rights and insensitivity to community and environmental wellbeing. Academics and practitioners of repute prepared the Natural Resource Charter (NRC) to serve as a framework for influencing governance of natural resources in the direction of development. Does the charter have prospects of helping to build a language of policy advocacy with governments, companies, civil society and host communities for the purpose of improving resource governance? Relying on secondary data and those derived from a roundtable on delayed impact of clean up of Ogoniland, held in Port Harcourt on 24 November, 2017, (where questions of socio-economic and environmental costs of oil mining were addressed from the perspectives of the Charter), this paper answers slightly affirmatively. This might happen because the precepts themselves proceed on the premise that, making natural resources beneficial to countries depends mainly on governance. It depends on the character of decisions or choices made by citizens, governments and other actors.

Authors: IBABA IBABA S. , SIBIRI ELLIOT A. , BARIKOR INNOCENT B.
Published: March 2022

This paper examined the linkage between traditional systems of environmental protection and climate change mitigation/adaptation in Bayelsa State. Based on a desk study, the paper interrogated some existing traditional/indigenous knowledge on environmental conservation and concluded that they contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation. The paper notes that although the environmental practices were not purposely designed to deal with climate change, practices that controlled timber lumbering and pollution of water bodies, and also promoted land conservation, are in sync with modern strategies and methods of climate change mitigation and adaptation.

All-in-One: VQ-VAE for End-to-End Joint Source-Channel Coding
Authors: Nemati Mahyar , Choi Jinho
Published: March 2022

Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoder (VQ-VAE) has been regarded as a promising representation of diverse and complex data distributions in deep learning ecosystem. However, its use in a systematic way leveraging existing wireless communications has not been well addressed. In this paper, we explore the VQ-VAE characteristics in a point-to-point wireless communication and modify its training process to design a joint source-channel coding that is robust against noisy wireless channels. With all due respect to the source-channel separation theorem, various factors prevent error-free transmissions of conventional coding schemes in reality. Likewise, the proposed model is not error-free, but it compromises the reliability and complexity of the system. Thus, the proposed model makes the physical/link layer lighter while preserving reliability. It is considered an alternative for further data compression compared to the conventional separated source-channel coding schemes. Our system has been evaluated with extensive simulations, providing insightful observations and findings.
