Screening of Used Engine Oil degrading Bacteria by 2-6 DCPIP Assay
Authors: Chandra K. , Joshi H.
Published: September 2022

Lubricating engine oil which is used in vehicles and machines to keep them running smoothly, is frequently released during automobile engine servicing or illegally dumped, posing a significant environmental threat because it is less volatile than other types of petroleum fuels and remains in the soil for longer periods of time. To solve this problem, new environmentally friendly techniques must be created. Considering the same, the current investigation, was carried out to screen and evaluate the oil-degrading capability of bacterial isolates from oil-contaminated soil collected from different sites of Udaipur city. The isolation was done on Luria-Bertani agar using the pour plate method. The primary screening of the isolates for used engine oil degradation was done on Bushnell Haas mineral salt agar medium using the spot inoculation method. The 2,6-DCPIP (2,6-Dichlorophenol indophenol) indicator was used to determine the oil degrading efficiency of isolates. A total of ten soil samples contaminated with used engine oil were collected from two distinct locations of Udaipur city. A total of seventy eight bacterial isolates were recovered using pour plate method from various soil samples on LB (Luria-Bertani) agar at 370C after 24 hours of incubation period. Twelve bacterial isolates out of seventy eight showed zone of clearance, indicating oil degrading capability. The diameter for zone of clearance of 12 isolates ranged between 5 to 15 mm. All 12 isolates demonstrated DCPIP decolorization. Color reduction percentage ranged from 68.66 % to 98.57 % for 12 oil-degrading bacterial isolates. Isolate ODB 29 showed the highest color reduction (98.57 %). These isolates may be explored for their possible use in bioremediation.
Nicotine biodegradation and trafficking of its metabolites for the production of industrially significant compounds
Authors: Shakya Shubhra , Ambati Akshaya , Verma Mahendra Kumar
Published: September 2022

Nicotine and related alkaloids are toxic contaminants primarily originating as wastes from intense tobacco cultivation and processing in the Guntur district region of Andhra Pradesh. Since these alkaloids are harmful to the environment and emerged as a major global problem, there is an immense need to find safer and cheaper remedial methods. The microbes possess tremendous potential to utilize the toxic alkaloids and also yield industrially significant molecules. Pseudomonas species are the leading bacterial strains in recycling nicotine/nicotine-related alkaloids and produce useful compounds such as HSP (6-Hydroxy−3-succinoyl pyridine) and DHP (2,3-Dihydroxypyridine). These intermediates from nicotine metabolic pathways in various microbes act as precursors in the production of several therapeutics viz. anti-cancer, anti-malarial and analgesic drugs. Also, the intermediates could be employed in the development of drugs for the treatment of vascular and CNS disorders. Currently, nicotine remediation is not only restricted to biotransformation of the toxic intermediate and/or end compounds, but also to achieving some useful products. This review focuses on the microbial metabolic pathways and the genetic competence of different microbes in achieving eco-friendly nicotine utilization. Further, a terse account of the scope of the microbial potential in the development of pharmaceutically important molecules from the metabolic intermediates of nicotine is presented.

Authors: Sikdar Bratati , Raj Adarsha , Roy Sudipta
Published: September 2022

Piperaceae is a highly diverse and large family composed of five genera of which Piper and Peperomia are the most abundant. The current study endeavours five Piper species (Piper betle, Piper nigrum, Piper longum, Piper chaba and Piper retrofractum) and one species of Peperomia (Peperomia pellucida) concerning their phytochemical contents, antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Besides their economic uses, these plants also possess curative properties that have been exploited ethnomedicinally since the primaeval days. The methanolic extracts of both fresh (FL) and shade dried (SDL) leaves of these plants showed the presence of various phytochemicals. Among the studied plants, polyphenols like total phenolics (TPC), total flavonoids (TFC) and total tannins (TTC) contents were maximum in P. betle FL extract (TPC:39.50±0.99 mg GAE/ g extract, TFC: 19.40±0.57 mg QE/ g extract and TTC 11.08±0.11 mg GAE/g extract) and significantly higher than the others. Antioxidant efficacies of the extracts by total antioxidant activity (TAA), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and ability to scavenge different radicals (DPPH, ABTS, NO and SO), were also highest in P. betle. The study also highlighted the strong antibacterial activities of the extracts against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. P. betle FL extract showed the highest activity representing the maximum zone of inhibition (24.65±0.21 mm) and lowest MIC/MBC values (0.58±0.04/0.65±0.07 mg/ml) against E. coli. These findings exhibit the potential of these plant extracts, especially P. betle, in the prospective exploration of plant-derived antioxidants and therapeutic uses of these plants for developing novel antibacterial drugs.

Spectroscopic signatures of states in the continuum characterized by a joint experimental and theoretical study of pyrrole
Authors: Mukherjee Madhubani , T. P. Ragesh Kumar , Ranković Miloš , Nag Pamir , Fedor Juraj , Krylov Anna I.
Published: September 2022

We report a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of electron-molecule interactions using pyrrole as a model system. Experimental two-dimensional electron energy loss spectra (EELS) encode information about vibrational states of the molecule as well as position and structure of electronic resonances. The calculations using non-Hermitian extensions of equation-of-motion coupled-cluster theory facilitate the assignment of all major EELS features. We confirm the two previously described π* resonances at about 2.5 and 3.5 eV (the calculations place these two states at 2.92 and 3.53 eV vertically and 2.63 and 3.27 adiabatically). The calculations also predict a low-lying resonance at 0.46 eV, which has a mixed character---of a dipole-bound state and σ* type. This resonance becomes stabilized at one quanta of the NH excitation, giving rise to the sharp feature at 0.9 eV in the corresponding EELS. Calculations of Franck-Condon factors explain the observed variations in the vibrational excitation patterns. The ability of theory to describe EELS provides concrete illustration of the utility of non-Hermitian quantum chemistry, which extends such important concepts as potential energy surfaces and molecular orbitals to states embedded in the continuum.
Electrophoresis-assisted multilayer assembly of nanoparticles for sensitive lateral flow immunoassay
Authors: Panferov Vasily , Ivanov Nikita , Mazzulli Tony , Brinc Davor , Kulasingam Vathany , Krylov Sergey
Published: September 2022

Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is a rapid, simple, and inexpensive method for point-of-need analysis. A major limitation of LFIA is a high limit of detection (LOD), which impacts its diagnostic sensitivity. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a signal-enhancement procedure that is performed after completing LFIA and involves controllably moving biotin- and streptavidin-functionalized gold nanoparticles along the test strip by electrophoresis. The nanoparticles link to immunocomplexes and each other forming multilayer aggregates on the test strip, thus, enhancing the signal. Here, we demonstrate lowering the LOD of hepatitis B surface antigen from approximately 8 to 0.12 ng/mL, making it clinically acceptable. Testing 76 clinical samples of serum and plasma for hepatitis B revealed that signal enhancement increased diagnostic sensitivity of LFIA from 72% to 98% while not affecting its 90% specificity. Electrophoresis-driven detection enhancement of LFIA is universal (antigen-independent), takes two minutes, and can be performed by an untrained person using an inexpensive accessory.
Formation, Reactivity and Decomposition of Aryl Phospha-Enolates
Authors: Urwin Stephanie , Goicoechea Jose
Published: September 2022

Two lithium phospha-enolates [RP=C(SiiPr3)OLi]2 were prepared by reduction of triisopropyl silyl phosphaethynolate, iPr3SiPCO, with aryl lithium reagents LiR (R = Mes: 1,3,5-trimethyl phenyl; or Mes*: 1,3,5,-tri-tert-butyl phenyl). Monomer/dimer aggregation of the enolates can be modulated by addition of 12-crown-4. Substitution of lithium for a heavier alkali metal was achieved through initial formation of a silyl enol ether, followed by reaction with KOtBu to form the corresponding potassium phospha-enolate [MesP=C(SiiPr3)OK]2. On addition of water, the enolates are protonated to afford RP=C(SiiPr3)(OH). For the sterically less demanding system (R = Mes), this phospha-enol rapidly tautomerises to the corresponding acyl phosphine MesP(H)C(SiiPr3)(O), which on heating extrudes CO. In contrast, bulkier phospha-enol (R = Mes*) is stable to rearrangement at room temperature and thermally decomposes to RH and iPr3SiPCO.

Age is recognized as the major factors of dementia, especially in for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Given to the aged population, the increased number of demented population has been receiving a great impact in our society. Unfortunately, so far, no cured medicines have been demonstrated to provide effective treatment in AD. The combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions has been proposed to manage dementia with potential benefits especially in decreasing caregiver’s burden and behavior, as well as psychological problems of demented patients. Recently, giving to the glorious development in digital technologies, the virtual reality, one of the non-pharmacological interventions has been used extensively in dementia managements for its strengths which can be adapted in accordance with the heterogeneous needs from demented patients and their caregivers. However, various study designs and other reasons made these results difficult to be interpreted. In this review our goal is to provide a better understanding for these points.

The current monkeypox virus global spread and lack of data regarding clinical specimens’ infectivity call for examining virus infectivity, and whether this correlates with results from PCR, the available diagnostic tool. We show strong correlation between viral DNA amount in clinical specimens and virus infectivity toward BSC-1 cell line. Moreover, we define a PCR threshold value (Cq ≥ 35, ≤ 4,300 DNA copies/mL), corresponding to negative viral cultures, which may assist risk-assessment and decision-making regarding protective-measures and guidelines for patients with monkeypox.

Authors: Flores Mendez Yessenia
Published: September 2022

La investigación analiza la acción educativa federal en el ámbito rural en el estado de Tamaulipas, entidad ubicada en el noreste de México, que ha sido poco abordada por la historiografía. El estudio abarca a partir de 1921, año de la creación de la SEP y del inicio de la reforma administrativa de centralización educativa, proceso que se desarrolló de manera diferente en cada una de las entidades federativas. En 1923 arribaron las primeras acciones federales, y en 1925 el gobernador hizo las primeras gestiones. En 1936 se firmó el Convenio de Unificación y Coordinación de los servicios educativos entre el gobierno del estado de Tamaulipas y la federación mediante la SEP. En 1943 fue renovado el Convenio de federalización de la enseñanza. Para ese año ya se había consolidado el sistema educativo estatal y nacional con la construcción de una red de escuelas rurales. Para ello se analiza el avance territorial de la escuela rural federal y la distribución de las escuelas primarias rurales del gobierno del estado. La labor que desempeñó la SEP fue complementaria no sin destacar la iniciativa local de los agentes educativos.

            La metodología empleada para el estudio fue partir del enfoque de la historia regional de la educación, que pretende recuperar experiencias educativas desde las regiones, sus contextos y actores educativos (Martínez y Padilla, 2006). El trabajo está documentado con expedientes del Fondo de la SEP, en el Archivo General de México; informes de gobierno y fotográficos.

Pasar pertama umat Islam yang didirikan oleh Rasulullah SAW dan para sahabat setelah membangun masjid Nabawi adalah pasar Suqul Anshar yang berada di Madinah dekat dengan masjid Nabawi. Padazaman Khulafaurrasyidin pembangunan masjid selalu diiringin dengan membangun pasar, ini menunjukkanbahwa pasar memiliki arti penting bagi Islam. Pasar pada waktu Rasulullah SAW dan Khulafaurrasyidin dibangun dan diatur seratus persen berdasarkan syariat Islam. Semua orang bebas memasuki pasar tanpaada halangan, tidak dipunguti pajak, sewa, dan biaya lainnya. Mekanisme pasar Islam ialah mekanismepasar bebas dimana pemerintah tidak ikut campur dalam menentukan harga pasar namun pemerintah disini berperan sebagai pengawas pasar (al-muhtashib) untuk memastikan tidak terjadi gangguan di pasar seperti Ikhtisar, tadlis, dan distorsi pasar. Struktur pasar Islam ialah pasar persaingan sempurna (PPS) dimana hargaditentukan oleh kekuatan permintaan (demand) dan penawaran (supply). PPS yang terjadi secara adil dan berkesimbangan sesuai syariat Islam telah membawa masyarakat Islam pada zaman Rasulullah SAW dan Khulafaurrasyidin menjadi masyarakat yang maju, sejahtera, dan bahagia lahir batin sehingga banyak yang menyebut keadaan ini sebagai contoh Masyarakat Madani (Civil Society). Struktur dan mekanisme pasar Islam ini sangat sesuai untuk diamalkan oleh pemerintah dan umat Islam kontemporer untuk mengembalikan masyarakat Islam kepada masyarakat yang maju.

Simple procedures and quick service on fintech lending gives an ease for fulfilling capital needs. Indeed, it does not require any collateral which may constrain debtors to deal with it. However, although this activity brings convenience, efficiency, quickness, and simplicity in lending services, many possible risks such as debtors’ delayed payment or even default which may burden the creditors are likely to follow as well. Without any collateral as assurance, the risks may become much higher on fintech lending as the creditor becomes a concurrent creditor who only has relatively individual rights whose position is equal to the other creditors, no droit de suite principle, and the claim is individual with general assurance.

Published: September 2022

Islamic education institutions in pesantren are the most important foundations and pillars for building Islamic civilization in Indonesia. Islamic boarding schools are known as the strongholds of the Islamic ummah and the center of the spread of Islam as well as the advancement of Muslims. As a religious, educational and social institution, Islamic boarding schools must be preserved and developed in order to produce quality Muslim intellectuals with good morals. It is the pesantren that determines the Islamic society and plays the most important role for the spread of Islam to remote villages. Pesantren as Islamic education institutions have become a necessity to improve in many ways, so that they can become an alternative education system in the future and can play a role in creating social support for the development of Islamic education.Keywords: existence, pesantren, Islamic education
Ovarian Function in Patients Who Underwent Opportunistic Bilateral Salpingectomy during Hysterectomy

Objective(s): To provide additional data and to inform all women at average risk of ovarina cancer, undergoing a benign gynecological laparoscopic procedure about the Pro’s and the Con’s of opportunistic bilateral salpingectomy (OBS). Mechanism: Risk reducing salpingo-oophorectomy to prevent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is associated with decreased quality of life and increased overall mortality. OBS has emerged as a primary prevention of ovarian cancer through a paradigm shift in which fallopian tubes are often the cause of ovarian cancer rather than the ovaries themselves. Findings in Brief: Causal relationship of salpingectomy and reduced risk of ovarian cancer has not been proven yet. There are several population-based studies that showed bilateral salpingectomy reduced risk of EOC by 42–67%, but there also is a study that suggest increased risk of ovarian cancer after salpingectomy. As for risk of surgical complications, several cohort studies have demonstrated that there was no increase in rates of hospital readmission, blood transfusion, day of hospital stay. However, recent meta-analysis stated that there were insufficient data to assess any difference in both intraoperative and postoperative complication rates. The procedure of salpingectomy can disrupt blood supply to the ovary. Data of reproductive outcome after assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) are conflicting. Some studies suggest that salpingectomy did not compromise the outcome of IVF-ET, but other studies found that salpingectomy may lead to decreased ovarian reserve after salpingectomy. For patients who do not wish fertility, data on the effect of OBS during hysterectomy suggest that changes in serum ovarian reserve markers were not different between OBS group and control group. Conclusions: Bilateral salpingectomy should be considered at the time of abdominal or pelvic for women at average risk of ovarian cancer. However, physicians should discuss the protective benefit of bilateral salpingectomy against ovarian cancer and controversial data on ovarian reserve.
Differential expression of ZNF93 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines sporadic ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of ZNF93, encoding zinc finger protein 93, in primary fibroblasts of patients with sporadic ALS (SALS). ZNF93 transcript was present at significantly lower levels in SALS patient fibroblasts as compared to control, non-diseased fibroblasts. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of sporadic ALS.
In my grasp or out of my hands? Belief about where life satisfaction comes from predicts motivation to seek it

People often expect a future brighter than the present. However, expectations of steep improvement have been linked to worse psychological functioning, perhaps because rosy predictions often do not come to pass. Should we conclude that expecting a highly satisfying future is maladaptive? We wondered instead whether the adaptiveness of these trajectories may depend on other belief systems which accompany them. Across three studies we found that although individuals high and low in depressive symptoms both expected a better future, they differed in their beliefs about whether satisfaction comes from primarily controllable or uncontrollable sources. People lower in depressive symptoms believed that satisfaction is impacted by controllable behaviors and events which predicted motivation to engage in well-being supportive behaviors. In contrast, those higher in depressive symptoms believed satisfaction came from uncontrollable factors, accounting for less inclination to engage in well-being facilitating behaviors. These insights may help clarify how people’s expectations for a better tomorrow may only sometimes be accompanied by adaptive beliefs about how to get there.
Eye-tracking the Determinants of Shopping Behaviour
Authors: Adewumi Bukunmi O , Miyapuram Krishna Prasad
Published: September 2022

According to previous research, colour and price do influence shopping behaviour. Previous studies found that fixation duration on price decreases as price increases (Menon et al., 2016), and participants’ fixation duration reduced on websites predominantly dominated with background (Bellizzi & Hite, 1992). This study aimed at investigating the role of colour temperature and price as determinants of shopping behaviour on ecommerce websites, where red and blue represented the warm and cool temperature dimensions respectively. Also, we aimed at investigating the relationship between brand credibility and attention to privacy policy on the websites. Since not many studies have mimicked real shopping experience for product preference, we collected additional data by eye tracking the shopper’s interaction with brand credibility and privacy policy link on two ecommerce websites, each designed as red or blue. Hypothetically, cool colours should positively influence online shopping than warm colours, lower prices positively should influence online shopping than higher prices, and higher brand credibility should negatively correlate with attention for privacy policy links. Following the previous studies, we recruited 12 participants and experimentally conceptualized shopping behaviour as shopping attention to interpret eye gaze data. Considering three eye gaze metrics- total fixation duration, fixation count, and mouse click count, we confirmed that fixation count is a relevant measure of colour and price as determinants of shopping behaviour, with warm colour and higher prices being the key determinants. Brand credibility did not significantly relate with attention to privacy policy even when the ‘learn out privacy policy here’ link was placed at a very salient location that would have generated mouse clicks for utility navigation (Russel, 2005) of either website. However, total fixation duration and fixation counts were relevant to brand credibility. Specifically, the findings will help marketers align product presentation with customers preferences for colour and prices, with the optimization of user experience (UI) in mind.
Retrieval Practice and Word Learning in Children with Hearing Loss
Authors: de Diego-Lazaro Beatriz
Published: September 2022

Children with hearing loss (HL) show poorer word-learning skills than children with normal hearing (NH). The goal of this study was to test the effect of retrieval practice on word learning. Twenty-six children with NH, 16 children who were hard of hearing, and 14 children who were deaf learned new words in no retrieval, immediate, and spaced retrieval conditions. Linear mixed-effect models revealed that learning condition and hearing status predicted 49% of the variance in word recognition and 15% in word recall. Immediate retrieval was the most effective strategy for hard of hearing and NH groups. No differences were observed in children who were deaf. Future studies should assess retrieval practice in real-life interventions to inform clinical and educational practices.
Recent Developments in Causal Inference and Machine Learning
Authors: Brand Jennie E. , Zhou Xiang , Xie Yu
Published: September 2022

This paper provides an updated review of the latest advances in causal inference in sociology and other disciplines. We focus on four topics: causal effect identification and estimation in general, causal effect heterogeneity, causal effect mediation, and temporal and spatial interference. We show how machine learning, as an estimation strategy, can be effectively combined with causal inference, which has been traditionally concerned with identification. The incorporation of machine learning in causal inference enables the researcher to better address potential biases in estimating causal effects and uncover heterogeneous causal effects. Still, we caution that there is no panacea for causal inference, particularly with observational data. Suitable methods are appropriate only for particular research settings and valid only with unverifiable assumptions, often involving complicated causal pathways or situations with temporal or spatial interference. We also note that research settings that benefit from strong internal validity may have low external validity.

Background: Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) is defined as the acute onset of fever and a change in mental status and/or new onset of seizures (excluding simple febrile seizures) in a person of any age at any time of the year.
Aims and Objectives: The objectives of the study were as follows: (a) To study clinicoepidemiological profile and outcome among children with AES admitted at M.Y.H. Hospital and MGM Medical College, Indore, M.P., and (b) to study prognostic factors associated with bad outcomes.
Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted over 12 months (July 2019–August 2020) at the pediatric department of our hospital. Inclusion criteria: Inpatient children aged 6 months–14 years meeting the case definitions of acute encephalitis syndrome. Exclusion criteria: Simple febrile seizures.
Results: Out of 50 AES cases, majority were between 1 and 5 years of age (40%). There were more males 31 (62%) than 19 (38%) females. Most of the cases were reported during the monsoon period 29 (58%) followed by post-monsoon 13 (26%) and pre-monsoon 8 (16%). Out of 50 cases, all had fever and altered sensorium, 37 (74%) had convulsions, 14 (28%) had vomiting, and 9 (18%) had headache. Out of 50 cases, 42 (84%) had viral etiology including 7 (14%) of dengue encephalitis and 1 (2%) of case of human immunodeficiency virus encephalitis. Only 5 (10%) cases had bacterial etiology. Those who needed inotropes and mechanical ventilation showed significant mortality.
Conclusion: The peak of AES cases occurred during the monsoon period. A higher proportion of such cases had viral etiology on cerebrospinal fluid analysis. Use of inotropes and mechanical ventilation was identified to be associated with significant mortality.
