Authors: D. S. Aniesrani Delfiya  , K. Thangavel  , D. Amirtham
Published: May 2022

Curcumin was encapsulated using egg albumin as a carrier material by desolvation and spray drying methods. Curcumin-loaded egg albumin powder was analysed for its in vitro release pattern, structural changes, morphology, stability, and antioxidant capacity. In vitro release studies showed that the cumulative release of 5.32, 47.76, 50.58, and 60.63% from pure curcumin from the powders prepared using ethanol, acetone, and spray drying, respectively, in 72 h. The FT-NIR spectrum of curcumin-loaded egg albumin powder confirmed that the curcumin and egg albumin maintained their chemical structure during drying process. FESEM images revealed that particles were in spherical shape and in the size ranges of 50 nm to 400 nm and 50 nm to 350 nm for nanoparticles prepared using ethanol and acetone, respectively. SEM images of spray dried particles showed that the particle size ranged from 1 μm to 15 μm without any agglomeration. Curcumin retentions of 74.66, 75.93, and 70.64% were observed in powder prepared using ethanol, acetone, and spray drying, respectively, after 50 min of heating at 100 ºC. Thus, the encapsulated samples were thermally stable, and could be used in food preparations as natural yellow colourant as functional food ingredient. Total antioxidant capacity of curcumin-loaded egg albumin powder prepared using ethanol, acetone, and spray drying was 5.96±0.89, 4.58±0.23, and 6.97±0.44 μg of ascorbic acid equivalents, respectively, at 100 μg.ml-1 sample concentration. Curcumin retained within the formulations was found to be stable without any change in the physical appearance throughout the storage period.

Published: May 2022

Agriculture directly connects with nutrition. Despite substantial increase in agriculture productivities, malnutrition prevails. The reason lies in the ‘hidden hunger’ or micro-nutrient deficiencies, which can be fulfilled by increasing dietary diversity. Various organizations promote kitchen garden / Nutri-Garden to achieve the minimum dietary diversity. The design, structural analysis, construction details, and performance analysis of a bamboo-polyhouse to support a Nutri-garden are reported. ETABS software was used to evaluate stability to withstand wind up to 36 m.s-1. The maximum temperature difference (inside and ambient) of 1.6 o C was observed in the naturally ventilated polyhouse structure when the top vent was open. Production data of vegetables produced and sold in nearby markets indicated a payback period of 2.41 years. The technical solution developed and demonstrated on farmers’ field to obtain year-round production of fresh vegetables for the nutrition of family and revenue after selling marketable surpluses is a solution that awaits further dissemination. The potential of large-scale adoption of bamboo polyhouse for Nutri-gardens as an entrepreneurship route by small farmers can be explored through support from existing government programmes.

Published: May 2022

Coleus (Coleus forskohli), a medicinal crop, contains a bioactive component forskolin, which is extracted and used in several ayurvedic medicines in India. Drying is the primary operation to extract forskolin. In this the study, Coleus was dried in a rotary drier by varying slice thickness (2.5, 5.0, 7.5 mm), drying air temperature (45, 55, 65 o C), and feed volume (50, 60, 70 percent); and the forskolin contents were assessed. The moisture content reduced to 16.55% (d.b.) from 464.97% (d.b.) after rotary drying. The drying time ranged from 300 min to 450 min. The effective moisture diffusivity and activation energy ranged from 1.02 ×10-7 mm2 .s-1 to 1.33 ×10-6 mm2 .s-1 and 5.39 kJ.mol-1 to 15.57 kJ.mol-1, respectively. Forskolin content in dried root varied from 0.14% to 1.87 per cent. High forskolin content was found in 2.5 mm thick slice dried at 55 o C and 70% feed volume. Analysis of variance showed that forskolin content in dried Coleus root was significantly (p<0.0001) affected by slice thickness and drying air temperature than feed volume (p<0.01).

SURF-Based Algorithm to Deal with Pose Change Challenge in Human Tracking
Authors:   ECE Department of Maharaja Surajmal Institue of Technology, New Delhi, India, Pareek Anshul , Dahiya Poonam , M. Arora Shaifali
Published: May 2022

Most of the existing interest point-based methods do not deal with tracking drift owing to out-of-plane rotations based pose change. It continues to remain a big challenge for researchers. To address the issue, a SURF-based algorithm is developed in which the object model is upgraded during the course of tracking, for this new templates are selected whenever pose change is encountered. In this process, the fresh projecting points are added to the template pool extracted from previously generated templates employing affine transformation by calculating its aspect ratio. These works propose a novel implementation of the GRABCUT algorithm on interest point-based methods. This region growing algorithm eliminates the background descriptors from the object model and this information is used by a SURF-based tracker. Later to differentiate between pose change and occlusion situation an Autotuned classifier is implemented. The human tracking algorithm developed in this paper are computable in real-time and real-time experiments are conducted in indoor as well as in outdoor environments.

Are Electronic Health Records Beneficial or Not?
Authors: KÖSE İlker , CECE Sinem , BAYRAKTAR Esra
Published: May 2022

There are numerous studies in the literature assessing the effect of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) on health institutions. Some found that EHRs improve quality, service delivery, and satisfaction, while others claim that EHRs are not helpful in these matters. The conceptual ambiguity in the literature regarding EHRs directly affects research results and might misinterpret those results. The purpose of this study is to examine the literature assessing the effect of EHRs on health care quality in terms of EHRs and related concepts. A comprehensive review was conducted of 702 articles on EHRs published between January 2000 and January 2021 and drawn from the Web of Science. The literature showed that 59.26% of the studies addressing the benefits of EHRs are not directly related to EHRs, but rather to EHR functions. Only 1.28% of all studies found in the search dealt with the benefits of EHRs, such as the ease of access provided by EHRs, a natural advantage of EHRs. This study provides valuable information to make more informed decisions about the definition and use of EHR-related concepts and removes the conceptual ambiguity regarding the benefits of EHRs.

As a significant field of study, thirty-five years of strategic management research has accumulated a substantial amount of knowledge. This bibliometric study explores whether the unlimited flow of knowledge and the globalization of education & research in this time period, could drive away (or deter) the identification and specific interest of research in phenomena of national importance. Using bibliometric techniques and visualization of similarities (VOS) procedures of citation and co-citation analyses, this Paper explores research trends at the country level over 35 years using data from the Web of Science database. The aims are to identify: 1) the most visible and prominent actors at the country, regional, and global-level; 2) the evolution of the subjects of research into strategic management at the country, global, and supra-regional level; and 3) the evolution of journals publishing strategic management research articles by location. Findings suggest that common research subjects coexist at higher levels of aggregation, establishing the “paradigm” or general agreement about the field’s boundaries. Additionally, findings show that at the country level, rather than following a global trend, there is an enduring diversification of research agendas that bow to national and supranational factors from geographically close places.

For years, human resources management has been considered a relevant factor to improve the levels of performance and competitiveness of organizations. Therefore, it has increasingly captured the attention of researchers at a global level. This paper aims to analyze such context in Ibero-America from a bibliometric perspective – the construction of knowledge in the field of human resources management and organizational performance. With that purpose, articles published in the main collection of Web of Science between the years 2010-2020 are analyzed with the help of Bibliometrix and VOSviewer. The results show that Spanish, Brazilian, and Portuguese researchers are the most productive of the group, and that Brazilians are equally the most influential. Likewise, there is a low participation of Latin American authors in prestigious international journals, and little cooperation with the most prestigious universities worldwide. The paper concludes that, in general, when compared to global production, Ibero-American production is still marginal, pointing to a challenge for these authors, especially for Latin Americans. This is a pioneering study, the first attempting to characterize Ibero-American scientific production in the field of human resources management and organizational performance.

Authors: Hyder Abd Elwahab Motasim , Mohammed Ahmed Abuzeid Hussain
Published: May 2022

Textural Analysis of Windblown Sand (TAWS) is essential for understanding the characteristics of wind sediment and behaviors of grain movement particularly in the climatically frame of wind erosion. This paper aimed to generate preliminary quantitative data on TAWS by estimating grain size distribution and some textural parameters e.g. median diameter (M50), mean grain size (Mz), graphic standard deviation (σ1) inclusive graphic skewness (Ski) and transgraphic kutosis (KG) in three selected sites namely, north, south east and south Atbara in river Nile state. Coefficient variations of the (M50) and (Mz) results exhibited a colossal similarity with minor differences between them accounted about 1.12%. In spite of the high variability of (σ1) between three sites (30%) but the data can be characterized as very well sorted (< 35), so the study area can be described as highly susceptible to wind erosion, the susceptibility decreased in the following order: north Atbara > south east Atbara> south Atbara. Regarding to (Ski) results the three sites can be described as positively skewed (north and south east Atbara) and very positively skewed (south Atbara). The (KG) data showed leptokurtic (north and south Atbara) and mesokurtic (south east Atbara). The dominant mean grain sizes for sand samples for north Atbara were fine sand 34% and medium sand 50%. Whereas the samples of south east Atbara distributed fine sand 34%, medium sand 45% and courses and 5%. South Atbara gave 25%, 38% and 12% for fine, medium and courses sand respectively.

Candida overgrowth causes vulvovaginal candidiasis. Most women of reproductive age become infected once, but some get re-infected, leading to issues such as pre-term labour, infertility, and neo-natal illnesses. This study determined the prevalence and associated factors to Vulvovaginal candidiasis among women of reproductive age at a municipality in Ghana. The study recruited 326 reproductive-aged women using a descriptive cross-sectional design and a simple random sampling method. After an aseptic vaginal swab, participants were asked to fill out a standardized research questionnaire. The variables were analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression to assess the link between vulvovaginal candidiasis and its associated factors. The study found 38.7% vulvovaginal candidiasis prevalence among reproductive-aged women. Younger age <20 years, urban settlement and secondary education were associated with vaginal candidiasis. Tight fitting clothes is also a risk factor for vaginal candidiasis. Regular health education should be rendered to women on wearing tight-fitting underwear to reduce their risk of Vulvovaginal Candidiasis, Women should be encouraged to visit health facilities to screen for vulvovaginal Candidiasis as it will aid in the early detection and management of vulvovaginal candidiasis problems among reproductive-age women.

The collective voice of the eponymous community, the voice of communis opinio, has been recognized by George Eliot’s critics as playing a key part in the polyphony of Middlemarch, and especially in relation to the presentation of the major characters. The focus of this article is on the presentation of this community in its own right as a stratified society with regional voices at its base: an aspect of the novel hitherto not studied in any detail. I argue that this community is significantly highlighted in chapter 71, which is a key chapter in the development of the plot and the fates of Lydgate and Bulstrode. By deconstructing this chapter, I will show how the progress and power of “common opinion” is artfully directed by the narrator in a series of six scenes.

The human brain is a complex structure having a plethora of functions. The human beings utilize their brain according to their need and requirement. Any injury or disease, whether caused due to degeneration or the mishap (Road traffic accident, fall from height) may lead to ischemia or necrosis of the neurons. The death of the neurons, may affect the productivity of the specific functions of the brain and likewise the overall performance of the person. The white and gray matter are present in the brain. The gray matter forms the outline of the brain, whereas the white matter forms the inner part. The white matter consists of axons of the nerves. The white matter got the name as the nerves are covered by myelin sheath. Leukoaraiosis is the condition where there are abnormal changes in the white matter of the brain. This condition is generally seen in aged people. On CT scans, leukoaraiosis appears as hypodense periventricular lesions of white matter. Leukoaraiosis is a feature of the arterioles cerebrovascular pathologies that lead to stroke, including hypertensive arteriopathy, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, and CADASIL.
