5-Chloro-1-ethyl-2-methyl-N-phenyl-1H-imidazole-4-sulphonamide and 5-chloro-N-(3-chlorophen- yl)-1-ethyl-2-methyl-1H-imidazole-4-sulphonamide were synthesised and screened for antifungal activity against Candida albicans and some bacteria. Sodium carbonate solution (10%) was used to catalyse the reaction of 5-chloro-1-ethyl-2-methylimidazole-4-sulphonyl chloride with aniline and 3-chloroaniline and to absorb HCl generated in high yields. The purity of the two sulphonamides was tested by TLC and characterised by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR and screened against tested microorganisms using the standard microbiological method. The in vitro anticandidal study of the compounds revealed that 5-chloro-N-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-ethyl-2-methyl-1H-imidazole-4-sulphonamide exhibited moderate activities in comparison with standard itraconazole. The compounds did not show antibacterial activities when screened against Gram-positive (methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis), and Gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae).

Published: July 2022

Most of the imported perfume products in our market today are synthetic and their usage over time result in skin irritation and other health effects which the cause is not easily known to end users. The present study focused on the yield optimization of the essential oil extraction from leaves of Cymbopogon spp, and its application in perfume formulation. The optimization is by applying two different techniques and identifying the technique with the greater efficiency in terms of yield at a given condition. The steam distillation yield 1.29% compared with 1.13% obtained via Enfleurage. This shows that for optimal yield, steam distillation is more effective in the extraction of essential oil from Cymbopogon spp plants than the enfleurage extraction. This is probably due to the loss of volatile components during the pounding process that preceded extraction. The compound with the highest area percentage in the GC-MS analysis of Cymbopogon spp was 1-Decanol, 2-hexyl- (3.8471%). Although for the purpose of perfume production, L-Menthol which also has a high area percentage (3.5439 %) is of utmost importance as the fragrance of Lemongrass oil extract and its peculiar flavour can be attributed to the abundant presence of levo-menthol. Levo-menthol is used for the treatment, control, prevention, and improvement of the following diseases, conditions and symptoms which includes; occasional minor irritation, Pain, Sore mouth, Sore throat and Cough. It can therefore be inferred that steam distillation at a defined conditions can be adopted as a better method for extraction of essential oil compounds from plants for the purpose of perfume making. Production of perfume using formulation ratio (4:3:3) of alcohol, essential oil from Cymbopogon spp and fixatives respectively gave a good organic perfume with almost zero side reaction response across the different chemistry of bodies and materials applied.

Published: July 2022

Zeolite Y was synthesized from Kankara clay, following alkaline fusion method which compared favourably with other conventional method of synthesis to obtain a high yield of zeolite Y. The raw material was hydrothermally activated with NaOH to synthesized zeolite Y. The starting materials for zeolite Y synthesis were prepared in two stages; The first stage was colloidal seed with a composition (5% of Al): 10.67 Na2O: Al2O3:10SiO2:180H2O and the second phase was the preparation of feedstock gel which was done few hours before the ageing time of the colloidal gel elapsed. The method used eliminated a lot of challenges, cost and energy of production using conditions crystallization temperature of 100oC and time of 5 h. This produced zeolite Y with a specific surface area of 686 m2/g, the SEM images demonstrated that the produced zeolites Y possessed agglomerated tetrahedral euhedral morphology. The transformation of the starting material into zeolite Y was evaluated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy to elucidate the crystallization process of zeolites

ANALYSIS OF CALCIUM AND PHOSPHORUS (CALCIUM-PHOSPHOROUS RATIO) BY SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC TECHINQUES OF SOME COMMONLY EATEN ROOTS/TUBERS SPECIES IN NIGERIA
Authors: Oguezi V. U. , Ibekwe F. C. , Ngbede E. O.
Published: July 2022

Some commonly eaten species of roots/tubers namely: Capsium annum (red and white species), Manihot utilisima, Dioscorea dumentorum and Colocassi sagiltifolium were analyzed to compare their calcium-phosphorus ratio by method of APHA, (2018) and AOAC (2005) respectively. The results showed much higher proportions of phosphorus than calcium as against 1 to1 or 1.5 to 1.0 ratios which are the ideal dietary calcium-to-phosphorus ratio. The results suggest that calcium be seriously supplemented and or complemented in these commonly eaten food staples since excess phosphorus tends to suppress the transformation of vitamin D into calcitriol, one of the routes by which the body maintains calcium levels. This will go a long way in reducing conditions of porous, brittle and fracture prone bones that lead to bone diseases which are rampant in our society today.

Published: July 2022

Carbohydrate, protein and oil are major products stored in specialized structures of the plants such as seeds, fruit pulp and tubers. Analysis of the contents of these products is very important for estimating quality of food. This review analyses and correlates the content of carbohydrate, protein and lipid in seed, fruit pulp, and seed coat of ninety-six plants. Data were based on the storage organ (seed, skin, and fruit pulp). The value for the oil content of the fruits ranged from 0.020±0.0031 % (Carica papaya peel) to 73.20±1.90 % (Elaeis guineensis pulp); protein content was 0.72±0.07 % (Persia americana unripe skin) to 68.40±0.00 % (dried watermelon seeds) while that of carbohydrate was between 0.69±0.20 % (Hura crepitans seed) and 93.13±1.04 % (Carica papaya pulp). The mean of the oil, protein and carbohydrate content of the ninety-eight seeds, skin, fruit pulp and seed coat altogether were 22.02±18.45 %, 29.70±19.59 % and 70.65±13.02 % respectively. Correlation analysis showed that there is a positive correlation between oil and protein content, negative correlation between carbohydrate and protein content and no correlation between oil and carbohydrate content of the samples. It is therefore ascertained that there is a direct relationship between oil and protein content, an inverse relationship between carbohydrate and protein content, and no established relationship between oil and carbohydrate content of plant seeds, skin, and fruit pulp.
INHIBITORY POTENTIALS OF Bryophyllum pinnatum LEAVES EXTRACT ON SULPHATE REDUCING BACTERIA INDUCED ANAEROBIC CORROSION OF OIL PIPELINE STEEL
Authors: Ibisi N. E. , Adieme O. C.
Published: July 2022

In the present study sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) were cultured from crude water sample collected from underground water very close to rusted oil pipeline steel. Effect of Bryophyllum pinnatum leaves extract on the cultured test organism induced corrosion of oil pipeline steel was examined using media absorbance comparison, scanning electron microscope surface morphology and gravimetric techniques. The corrosion test results from the media absorbance comparison and scanning electron microscope surface morphology show inhibition activity by the test extract (Bryophyllum pinnatum leaves) on the test organism (sulphate reducing bacterial). Gravimetric analysis results confirmed, test organism induced corrosion inhibition by the test extract and the corrosion inhibition was more pronounced as the concentration of the plant extract increased. Inhibition was attributed to adsorption of the extract molecules on the pipeline steel coupons. The adsorption fitted best into Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and the trend in calculated free energy of adsorption values suggests physisorption mechanism.

Published: July 2022

Environmental risk assessment and water quality management are becoming increasingly important issues, particularly in view of the large number of contaminants entering the aquatic environment that are harmful to the functioning of an ecosystem. Interest in metals like Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn, which are required for metabolic activities in organisms, lies in the narrow "window" between their essentiality and toxicity. Other heavy metals like Cd, Hg, Cr and Pb may exhibit extreme toxicity even at low levels under certain conditions, thus necessitating regular monitoring of sensitive aquatic environments. The study determines the heavy metal concentrations of water from Osara dam in Kogi central area, as well as their sediments and edible parts of two fish species using ICP-OES. Water samples were collected from eight selected sampling sites from Osara dam. There results were below or within the range of the recommended limit of WHO and other recognized regulatory bodies. Similarly, the head, gills, muscle, and liver of the two fishes sample collected from Osara dams were found to contain all the analysed heavy metals (Mn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Fe, Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni, and Hg) at different levels. Some of the determine metals in the parts of the fishes may not be harmful to consumers because the observed values of heavy metals were below the permissible limits issued by WHO and other recognized regulatory bodies for human consumption however, elements like Cr, Ni and Pb call for serious concerned. Finally, Pearson’s correlation at 95% confidence levels of significance was calculated for finding relationship between elements content in water and fish sample. Significantly positive and negative correlation was observed between different elements in water and fish samples.

Heavy metals accumulations at Dam basin originated from mining sites through erosion and water transportations find themselves in a soil, water bodies and plants contaminated soil through their roots and those that settle on the plants get in to the plants and animals organs. This study explored the concentration of these heavy metals levels present in rice grown at vicinity of the Dam, which were compared with their [1] maximum recommendation levels safer for human ingesting. Some proximate analysis of the rice investigated showed mean crude fiber = 0.82%, crude fats = 2.81%, and crude protein = 1.12%. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy was adopted for the determination of the heavy metals concentrations showed Fe =0.00670 mg/kg; Zn= 0.0065402 mg/kg then Ni = 0.006224 mg/kg. Others Cd =0.005308 mg/kg, Pb = 0.005254 mg/kg, Mn = 0.001212 kg/mg, Co = 0.0010084 mg/kg, As = 0.0000665 mg/kg, Cu = 0.0000696 mg/kg, Se = 0.0000042 mg/kg. Their concentrations were expressed in decreasing order of Fe > Zn > Ni > Cd > Pb > Mn > Co > As > Cu > Se respectively. The result obtained showed all the heavy metals were within the value of 0.001- 0.005 mg/kg except Zn and Ni. Thus rice grown at Dadinkowa dam basin were only contaminated with excess Zn and Ni high concentrations. Constant utilization of rice grown there can be harmful to health of humans and the ecosystem

Published: July 2022

This study concerns the health risk assessments of soil from the vicinity of a Kaolin milling plant in Alkaleri, Bauchi State. The aim is to determine the concentration of elements and the health risk assessments of heavy metals in the soil in the Kaolin milling plant. Soil samples were collected from twelve (12) sampling points from the vicinity of the milling plant using hand auger at the depth of 0 – 15 cm. The elemental analysis of the soil samples was carried out using Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA). Pb and Zn were determined using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer after digestion with a mixture of HCl and HNO3 in 1:3 ratios. The results showed the concentration of heavy metals in mg/kg were As = 0.581±0.49, Cd = 0.445±0.74, Cr = 59.64±40.12, Co = 2.84±1.08, Cu = 6.78±13.9, Mn = 138.6±27.9, Pb = 11.36±2.98, V= 28.54±4.96, and Zn = 95.42±32.24. The health risk assessment was carried out using the method developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The health risk assessment showed the daily exposure doses of heavy metals are in the order of Mn > Zn > Cr > V > Pb > Cu > Co > As > Cd for the three pathways. The exposure pathways trend decreases in the order Ingestion > dermal > inhalation. The hazard index (HI) of heavy metals in soil for non-carcinogenic effect is in the order Cr > Co > V > Pb > As > Mn > Cd > Zn > Cu, the HIt is far less than 1 which is the safe value. The cancer risk index (RI) of the metals for carcinogenic effect in the soil from the vicinity of the kaolin milling plant through the inhalation pathway is in the order Cr > Co > As > Cd, also within the safe value of 10–6 – 10–4. These indicate that the soil in the vicinity of the Kaolin milling plant does not pose a major adverse health effect.

La situación socioeconómica de la población más desfavorecida tuvo un eco singular en la política española desde el siglo XIX, aunque no fue hasta 1911 con la aprobación de la Ley de Casas Baratas y sucesivas cuando, con el apoyo del Estado, se iniciara la construcción de este tipo de viviendas. Asociaciones y cooperativas trataron de pormenorizar la carencia de estas. En Huelva, no fue hasta la Ley de Casas Baratas de 1921 cuando comenzarán a proyectarse viviendas. Desde esta fecha hasta la finalización de la Guerra Civil, no fueron muchos los proyectos realizados, pero sí interesantes en su concepción estilística entre lo tradicional y lo moderno.

Muchos fueron los indianos de origen cántabro que, a lo largo del siglo XVIII, remitieron importantes mandas de plata desde América a su tierra natal. Algunos han sido ya identificados y suficientemente estudiados, otros, sin embargo, permanecen injustamente en un total anonimato, habiéndose perdido sus nombres en el ideario o recuerdo colectivo de sus poblaciones de origen. Este artículo, a partir de documentación inédita localizada en el Archivo General de Indias, reivindica las figuras de don Francisco y don Pedro de Carriedo, ambos naturales de la población de Ganzo (Torrelavega), donde protagonizaron una relevante labor filantrópica, al remitir importantes sumas de dinero para financiar distintos proyectos tanto de carácter civil como eclesiástico, junto a dos cuantiosos legados de plata labrada para su parroquia de bautismo.

The system of uncontested debt collection based on the Law on Enforcement which regulates the enforcement proceedings based on so called “trustworthy” documents has been debated in the Croatian public for some time by now. Its cost aspect is regularly evoked to meet the daily-political needs, primarily in the context of negative social phenomena yielded by the excessive costs the system generates for the debtors. Unfortunately, past discussions rarely involved the confrontation of consistent arguments, though, several papers are available now that clearly disclose the shortcomings of the current legal regime. The author advocates that the present system of remuneration of private legal professions involved in the debt collection proceedings has so far effectively prevented the establishment of cost-effective, information technology based procedural mechanism that would serve both the public interest and the interest of justice.

More often, within the framework of the introductory chapter in the laws in the Republic of Serbia, immediately after the артицлес determining the subject of the regulation of that law, we come across a separate article, which defines the terms that are used in that law. Why is it important to do this, although the rules, use words that are familiar to a larger circle of people from everyday communication? Why is it important that these definitions be as precise and unambiguous as possible? We answer some of these questions briefly in this paper, as a part of our broader research conducted on the relationship between language and law.

The subject of research is to determine the work status of persons working on online platforms. As the labour market digitalisation picks up the pace, providing services on online platforms such as Uber, Upwork, Deliveroo, CitySprint, is commonly qualified as the work of self-employed persons. However, more recent research on the characteristics of work on online platforms suggests that very often this type of work can be qualified as a "disguised employment relationship". In this context, the particular challenge is to prove the elements of employment, taking into account that flexibility, depersonalization, the existence of a three-party relationship (worker - online platform - client), and the non-transparent functioning of the online platform as the basic characteristics of this type of work make it difficult to prove employment relationship. In this regard, the subject of research is to determine the characteristics of the position of persons offering services on online platforms in relation to the typical characteristics of the concept of workers established in European countries as well as by the European Union.

The Council of the European Union decided on 19 and 20 April 2007 to define the position of the Council on the basic aspects of a possible common reference framework (CFR) for European contract law. This was another step in a major European project aimed at building a common European contract law, because the EU legislator realized that uniform material rules provide for greater predictability than uniform rules on the right to vote, although Community competence in this field is still under consideration. The first part deals with the position and function of common European rules regarding the restriction of the freedom of contract and the role of mandatory and optional rules in general. The second part deals with various techniques that limit the freedom of contract that we find in the Principles of European Contract Law – PECL, the acquis communautaire, or the draft "Common Reference Framework" (CFR).

Acharya Sushruta is described Pistaka is Ashastrakruta vyadhi in Sushruta uttartantra 8 chapter 9 sholka. In Astanga Hridaya uttarsthana Acharya Vagabhatta has told the Pistaka is Sandhigata vyadhi. Pinguecula is an extremely common degenerative condition of the conjunctiva. It is characterized by the formation of the yellowish-white patch on the bulbar conjunctiva near to the limbus. Inflammation of Pinguecula is called as Pingueculitis. It is characterized by pain, redness, watering and foreign body sensation in eyes. Pinguecula is found in the nasal and temporal limbal conjunctiva. The etiology of Pinguecula is not known but it’s found those person are work in sunlight, populated environment like wind, dust, soil etc, the majority of this disease is occur, people who lived in hot and dry climate. Symptoms of Pinguecula can be correlated to sign and symptom of Pistaka. The histological picture is very similar to that of pterygium and hence is considered to be its Precursor. If inflamed Pinguecula untreated leads to inflamed pterygium. Hence there is a need to find safe and effective medicine. Signs and symptoms of Pishtak can be correlated with Pingueculitis or Pinguecula.

The intestinal subtype of GC follows a stepwise progression to carcinoma, which is treatable with early detection and intervention using high-quality endoscopy. Premalignant lesions and gastric epithelial polyps are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Surveillance of patients with premalignant gastric lesions may aid in early diagnosis of GC, and thus improve chances of survival. An expert professional workgroup was formed to summarise the current evidence and provide recommendations on the management of patients with gastric premalignant lesions in Singapore. Twenty-five recommendations were made to address screening and surveillance, strategies for detection and management of gastric premalignant lesions, management of gastric epithelial polyps, and pathological reporting of gastric premalignant lesions.

Neighborhood Disorder and Health-Related Work Absences: Perceived Control and Neighborhood Trust as Explanatory Mechanisms
Authors:   Independent Researcher
Published: July 2022

The current research argues that people residing in disordered neighborhoods will tend not to trust their neighbors and perceive less control over life, which will in turn increase the risk of health-related work absences. Researchers also suggest that lower trust in neighbors and perceived control will strengthen the association between living in disordered neighborhoods and risk of health-related work absences. To address these questions, we examine a national study of Canadian workers gathered at the individual level in September of 2019 (N=2,524). Multinomial regression models show that perceptions of neighborhoods as disordered are associated with a greater likelihood of frequent health-related work absences. Reduced trust in neighbors and perceived control largely explain this association, but these factor do not moderate the association. This research contributes to the study of neighborhoods and health by showing that adverse health effects of disordered neighborhoods can have subsequent socioeconomic implications through increased health-related work absences.

IMPLICATIONS FOR BIG DATA AND ANALYTICS ON UNDERWRITING PRACTICES IN INSURANCE SECTOR
Authors: Kajwang Ben
Published: July 2022

Purpose: Many businesses' approaches to data management have been revolutionized as a result of the advent of big data analytics. These days, companies are harnessing the power of the insights offered by big data in order to instantly establish more information about their customers and the ways in which they conduct business. The goal of this research is to analyze the implications for Big Data and analytics on underwriting practices in insurance sector.

 

Methodology: This was accomplished through the use of a desktop literature review. The use of Google Scholar was utilized in order to locate seminal references and journal articles that were pertinent to the study. Papers that were published no more than ten years prior were required to meet the inclusion criteria.

 

Findings: According to the findings of the study, top insurers' underwriting was significantly impacted by the digitization of their claims processes, which made use of big data and analytics. In this paper, the beneficial role of adopting technologies and tools of big data has been justified. These technologies and tools make it possible to develop powerful new business models, which, in turn, make it possible for the role of insurance to transition from "understand and protect" to "predict and prevent."

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: According to the findings of the study, various aspects of building up digital insurance control mechanisms that assist in maintaining the data integrity of underwriting processes should be implemented. When such advanced security frameworks are implemented, data integrity can be assured, and instances of fraud losses can be significantly reduced. In addition to this, there is a requirement for need-based training to be provided to underwriters regarding the implementation of digital management systems. Moreover, insurance companies should take advantage of the opportunities presented by technology in order to provide underwriters with an early warning of any potentially fraudulent activities

Purpose: Helicobacter pylori has been implicated in most severe cases of peptic ulcer. Despite this development, the diagnosis of this infection has been a major challenge due to the difficulty encountered during isolation using the conventional culture method. Presently, most health facilities in rural communities in Nigeria still adopt the culture method as the gold standard technique for the diagnosis of H. pylori infections.  The need for the introduction of more accurate, robust and rapid diagnostic techniques is therefore imperative. This study was carried out to compare the overall performance of two diagnostic methods in the assessment of Helicobacter pylori infection status among peptic ulcer suspected patients attending health facilities in Lafia, Nigeria, using stool antigen immunoassay test and blood antibody test methods.

Methodology: A total of 180 patients with peptic ulcer symptoms attending three health facilities (80 from DASH and 50 each from Jafamek Diagnostic Centre and Haske Hospital) were recruited by designated health workers through random selection using non-probability and convenience sampling.  The blood and stool samples of each participant were screened using H. pylori antibody/ antigen test strips (Azure Biotech Inc). The stool samples were cultured on Brain Heart Infusion agar (Oxoid, UK) and the result used as a gold standard in this study. Data obtained were presented as frequencies and association between test methods analysed using contingency chi-square test and Cohen kappa statistics.

Results: The outcome of the study showed that out of the 180 participants screened, 51 (28.33%) were positive using the culture method (CM), 111 (61.67%) were reactive for Helicobacter pylori blood antibody test (BAB), while 86 (47.78%) were positive for Helicobacter pylori stool antigen test (SAG). The sensitivity and specificity of the two methods were recorded as 74.50%, 44.20% and 70.60%, 61.20% for BAB and SAG respectively. The level of agreement according to the value of kappa was found to be poor with BAB but fair with SAG.

Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, the overall prevalence of H. pylori infection among the patients was relatively low compared to values obtained from other areas in Nigeria. Also, the stool antigen analytical method had the highest diagnostic accuracy compared to the serum antibody and culture techniques.

Recommendation: The stool antigen method is considered the most effective in the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infections in the study community and should therefore be used regularly as first choice option.

romance como materialidade discursiva
Authors: Machado Ida Lucia
Published: July 2022

O último romance da escritora argentina Camila Sosa Villada (2021) constitui o corpus do artigo. O romance descreve a travessia de uma personagem transclasse que é a própria narradora cuja voz, por vezes, se confunde com a voz da autora. Ela assume a condição de travesti e se une a um simpático grupo que realizou a mesma escolha que ela. Para ganhar a vida tornam-se prostitutas. Ao lado da narrativa de vida da personagem principal aparecem outras narrativas, a de suas amigas travestis. Como metodologia para analisar o romance utilizamos conceitos discursivos da semiolinguística, vindos de Charaudeau (2018, 2015, 1992, 1983) e Machado (2018, 2020). Também nos valemos de algumas ideias de Maingueneau (2010, 1990). Retomamos aqui a noção de transclasse de Machado (2020), ampliando-a. Observamos também o realismo mágico da América Latina e as ocorrências irônicas, bastante numerosas no romance. O objetivo que perseguimos foi o de mostrar que a análise do discurso pode e deve assumir também corpora literários em suas análises. Ambas, literatura e análise do discurso têm muito a oferecer uma para a outra.
Ensaio sobre a pertinência de uma análise do discurso literário
Authors: Mussalim Fernanda
Published: July 2022

Neste ensaio, empreendo uma reflexão acerca da pertinência da “Análise do discurso literário” proposta por Dominique Maingueneau. Nesse percurso, comento, fundamentalmente, pesquisas realizadas e orientadas/supervisionadas por mim junto ao grupo de pesquisa que lidero, o CED (Círculo de Estudos do Discursos), na Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU), em especial no âmbito do Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos Linguísticos, ao qual estou vinculada como docente permanente. Tais pesquisas permitiram, como será possível perceber, não apenas demonstrar a pertinência dessa Análise do discurso, mas ainda formularam novas hipóteses, estabelecendo novas pontes e invadindo novos espaços.
