REDUCTION OF COD FROM REACTIVE DYE WASTE WATER
Authors: Suthar Vansita
Published: April 2023

Due to the scarcity of water resources, it is crucial to safeguard public health and well-being. One way to achieve this is by enforcing stringent regulations on the discharge of wastewater effluents to minimize the introduction of harmful substances into water bodies. Furthermore, there is a growing trend to reduce total solids (TS) in wastewater and repurpose them for industrial applications. The treatment of wastewater to a high standard has expanded the potential uses while reducing negative impacts on freshwater ecosystems. Currently, the main environmental issue in wastewater treatment is related to dye effluents. This is because the textile industry consumes a substantial amount of water, resulting in wastewater that contains unused colours and their constituents. Dye-containing wastewater produced by the textile sector is extremely toxic and poses severe challenges for wastewater treatment facilities. Textile effluents contain high levels of colour, TDS, and hazardous metals, which have reduced the ability of contaminants to self-degrade in wastewater. Numerous techniques, such as chemical oxidation, coagulation and adsorption processes, as well as biological processes, are employed to remove dye using traditional methods, but none of these are sufficient on their own to remove dye from wastewater. For instance, biological processes are unsuitable for decolourization of dyes since the majority of the colours are inorganic and harmful to the process microorganisms. Activated carbon is effective for treating soluble colours, while coagulation is better suited for insoluble dyes but not for soluble ones. Due to the product of their degradation, most dyes in particular reactive dyes cause serious environmental problems. Due to the complicated structure and refractory nature of dyes, the degradation of colours from textile effluent is exceedingly hard. Wastewater produced in textile manufacturing plants may contain both natural and synthetic pollutants, the composition of which depends on the production techniques employed. Several parameters are commonly used to evaluate the characteristics of textile wastewater, such as Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Suspended Solids (SS), Dissolved Solids (DS), pH, Chloride, Sodium, and others. The quality of textile wastewater is determined by these parameters, and it is important to take them into account when selecting appropriate treatment methods to ensure that the environment is not adversely impacted.

Published: April 2023

In today's world, all companies are trying to introduce ecological (sustainable) products because the release of those chemical products affects every part of the environment, be it aquatic life, animals, birds, trees, or people. It not only affects them but throws the entire ecosystem out of balance. Nowadays it is used so much that all people are used to it. However, several companies have taken the initiative to produce these chemical products in an environmentally friendly manner so that they benefit both the environment and humans. For example, Wipro launched new green desktops and green laptops often referred to as Wipro green products. It was the first company in India to develop environmental sustainability in the form of energy, water efficiency, and waste management. Wipro is actively striving to become a very green company with the main objective of becoming a carbon-neutral, water-clean, and energy-efficient business organization. People are aware of eco-friendly products and their use is very similar to the traditional way that they can be recycled, reused, and repaired. But due to the high price of green products, people think twice before buying them. In this case, the research topic is mainly related to the company Wipro and its influence on the buying behavior of customers. In this research topic, you will learn how customers buy green products and what people think about sustainable products. Customers' purchasing decisions vary for a variety of reasons: income, packaging, branding, prices, quality, quantity, and more. All these reasons are discussed in this research project. With all the points, opinions, and survey responses, it was easy to see how green marketing influences customers' purchasing decisions.

Published: April 2023

Bee venom (BV) showed therapeutical effects to treat various diseases as it contains at least 18 pharmacologically active components including various enzymes, peptides, and amines. This study aimed to evaluate the action of BV on some hematological parameters, humoral and cellular immunity, and the determination of antioxidant levels in male albino rats. The study included 40 male albino rats (190–210 g), divided into four groups. Three groups were injected subcutaneously with three different doses of BV (2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg, respectively). The control group was injected with saline solution. Blood samples were obtained to measure total leucocytes count (TLC), differential leukocytes count, hematological parameters (hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (HCT), red blood cells (RBCs), mean cell volume (MCV), mean cell hemoglobin (MCH), mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and Platelets. Sera were used to assess immunoglobulins (IgM, IgG, IgA, and IgE), some cytokines e.g., tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), tumor growth factor beta (TGF-β), interleukins 6 and 10 (IL-6, IL-10), and some antioxidant levels malondialdehyde (MDA), super oxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione (GSH). Data showed that BV therapy increased antibody production levels (IgM, IgG, and IgA) while decreasing IgE levels. Hematological markers (Hb and lymphocytes) were increased. BV increased total TGF- β and IL-10 but decreased total TNF- α and IL-6. On the antioxidant scale, an increase in SOD, CAT, and GSH levels was observed, accompanied by a decrease in MDA levels. However, the BV treatment led to a significant reduction in the number of eosinophils, monocytes, and neutrophils (p < 0.05). In conclusion, our findings suggested that BV may be utilized to increase the effectiveness of various immunological and hematological parameters.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among females with increasing incidence and death rates. Resistin is pro-inflammatory molecule which shares in diverse cellular signaling pathways. This study aimed to evaluate resistin and RETN rs3219175 gene polymorphism and their relevance to diagnostic susceptibility, prognostic value, and genetic risk among Egyptian female patients with breast cancer. Eighty female patients with breast cancer were recruited from the Oncology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Beni-Suef University. Breast cancer staging and grading were determined. Eighty age-matched normal females participated as controls. Quantitative determination of serum resistin was assayed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RETN rs3219175 gene polymorphism was determined by real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) TaqMan allelic discrimination assay. Serum resistin showed statistically significantly higher level among females with breast cancer when compared to controls (p <0.001). Resistin showed sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 67.5% at cut off value of 1.27 ng/mL for diagnosis of breast cancer (p =0.001). RETN rs3219175 gene polymorphism showed significantly higher frequency of AG, AA genotypes, and A allele among cases when compared to controls (p <0.001). No statistical difference was found in resistin level or RETN rs3219175 gene polymorphism regarding tumor characteristics including size, lymph nodes or distant metastasis. Resistin showed significantly higher level among carriers of AG followed by AA genotypes and among A allele (p <0.001). In conclusion, resistin could be proposed as a possible potential diagnostic marker and A allele of RETN rs3219175 gene might be suggested as a genetic risk allele among female patients with breast cancer.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a typical microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) and it remains one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. Studies postulated that a distinct metabolic signature of DR exists and can be resolved from that of diabetes alone. Serum Semaphorin3A (Sema3A) levels have also been found to be correlated with the phenotypes of diabetic retinopathy. We aimed to analyze and identify serum metabolites and serum Sema3A levels that could be useful biomarkers of DR progression. This cross-sectional study included 45 type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Diabetic patients were divided into three groups based on the status of their complications: non-DR (NDR, n=15), non-proliferative DR (NPDR, n=15), and proliferative DR (PDR, n=15) groups. Serum metabolomic profiles of these patients were determined by using high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), and serum Sema3A levels measured by ELISA. Metabolomics analysis revealed a set of metabolites that were altered in the serum of PDR patients as compared with NPDR and NDR groups. Among these metabolites total asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and Kynurenine were potential predictors of PDR patients. Significantly higher serum levels of Sema3A in PDR patients as compared with NPDR and NDR groups (p<0.001), their serum levels were positively correlated with the central macular thickness (r= 0.952, p<0.001) and negatively correlated with the superficial macular density (r=-0.952, p<0.001). In conclusion, the metabolite signatures identified in this study and serum Sema3A levels could be proposed as biomarkers for DR development and progression in T2D patients. However, Sema3A was superior to metabolomics in the prediction of the severity of DR.

Hypertension is the most frequent medical complication of pregnancy, and the most severe clinical presentation of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) is preeclampsia (PE). PE is a condition significantly associated with maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The etiology of PE remains unknown. However, it has been found that genetic factors cause a defective immune adaptation, which in turn leads to inadequate trophoblast invasion and inappropriate placenta development. This study involved 30 patients with gestational hypertension (GH), 30 patients with PE and 30 normotensive pregnant women as controls. We aimed to evaluate the association between the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism (rs4343) and susceptibility to GH and PE. Genotyping for rs4343 polymorphism was performed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The differences of genotypes and allele frequencies were analyzed as well as the relationship between ACE polymorphism and susceptibility to PE. The GG genotype of ACE gene rs4343 and G allele frequency were significantly associated with increased risk of PE [OR (95% CI) 10.3125 (2.1043 to 50.5388), p=0.004 and OR (95% CI) 3.4714 (1.6352 to 7.3697), p = 0.001, respectively]. Also, G allele frequency was significantly associated with severity of PE [OR (95% CI) 15.5455 (1.8938 to 127.6075), p = 0.011]. However, the GG genotype and G allele frequency were not associated with GH. In conclusion, ACE rs4343 polymorphism may be associated with PE susceptibility and severity but not with GH.

Cancer colon is the second most prevalent cancer for females and the third for males. Vitamin D’s cellular impacts are achieved by 1,25 (OH) 2D binding to the Vitamin D receptor (VDR). This study aimed at assessing the relation between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism and cancer colon. This case-control study included 50 colorectal cancer (CRC) cases which were candidates for colonoscopy and 50 controls with normal colonoscopy. The study was conducted in Suez Canal University hospitals. All cases were diagnosed with colonoscopy and confirmed with histopathology. Blood samples from study subjects were used for detection of vitamin D receptor FokI polymorphism. We found that more than two thirds of patients were males. Around half of the cases were over 60 years old. Most of the study participants were overweight (26%), obese (53%), non-alcoholics (99%), and non-smokers (72%). However, about one third of the patients were diabetic (31%). Noticeably, none of these factors was significantly variant among CRC group and normal colonoscopy group (p< 0.05). The most common presentation among cases with colon cancer was constipation (80%). Of the 100 studied cases, 74% had left-sided colon cancer, with a 66% of them were resectable. The odds ratio of VDR polymorphism between the cases and control groups was high (3 with 95% CI (0.3-31)), however it did not reach statistical significance (p= 0.3). Most of the cases with VDR polymorphism had colon cancer (75%). In conclusion, based on our findings, there was no correlation between colorectal cancer and vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism.

An Alternative to the Use of Force in International Law and Arab-Islamic Sulh for the Yemen Armed Conflict
Authors: Dosari Abdullah Al , George Mary
Published: April 2023

This article explores Arab-Islamic sulh (reconciliation) which is known to be rooted in religious (sectarian) and cultural dynamics, as well as tribal practices of the Arab societies. For this purpose, this article highlights the limitations of the conflict resolution approaches now in use as contextually unsuitable. It further draws attention to the continuing vitality of Arab-Islamic rituals of reconciliation sulh and identifies ways that mediators (US, UK UAE, and others) might benefit from an appraisal of such rituals. To counteract tribal experiences of disempowerment and temper the power-political undertones of the conflicts, mediators would consciously integrate principles and symbolic practices inherent in indigenous Middle Eastern reconciliation methodologies of sulh, alongside musalaha (settlement). Sulh exemplifies key Arab-Islamic cultural values that should be looked at figuratively and literally for insight into how to approach conflict resolution in the Saudi/Yemen armed conflicts. Therefore, as an alternative to the use of force, the sulh would be provisioned to leverage its capability to accommodate political interests that underpin the conflicts as well, with a view to effective resolution.
The Impact of Leader Member Exchange (LMX) Theory on Employee Turnover Intention: An empirical study of employees at the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Algarni Mohammad , Kasib Yahya
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this research paper is to investigate the impact of LMX on the turnover intention of employees. Research from both Western and Arabic contexts has shown that the quality of LMX relationships has a positive impact on turnover intentions i.e., the quality of LMX in an organization may encourage employees to stay longer with the current organization and reduce turnover intention. This research study used a quantitative methodology, distributing questionnaire surveys as the research tool to a sample of 297 participants. The participants were all employees at the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in Saudi Arabia, or who worked for associated companies at the Hajj and Umrah information center. The quantitative survey data was then analyzed to find the relationship between levels of LMX and employee turnover intention in this context. The findings show that high quality LMX relationships were positively correlated with employee decisions to stay with the organization, and indicate that well-functioning LMX may play a part in reducing employee turnover intention at the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah and its connected organizations.
SOCIAL STIGMATIZATION AND PENALIZATION OF WOMEN IN SAADAWI’S THE FALL OF THE IMAM
Authors: BOLAT Eren
Published: April 2023

This study aims to examine the social stigmatization and punishment of women in The Fall of the Imam by Nawal El Saadawi, iconic Egyptian feminist writer who could not remain apathetic to the violence, exclusion and punishment methods developed by the society against women in an environment where people are afraid to speak. In conservative and authoritarian societies, it is quite common for individuals to be restricted and required to live according to strictly defined social norms. If a person acts or behaves in ways outside the boundaries and limits demanded by society, it is highly probable that they will be stigmatized and perhaps even punished by their milieu. On the other hand, the group most adversely affected by this circumstance is women because they are subjected to much more noticeable extent of coercion and oppression than men are. Patriarchal perception lies on the ground of this domination against women. The restrictive structure of patriarchy prevailing in the society is utilized as a kind of control mechanism. Referring to the atmosphere in her country, in particular for women, Saadawi expressly emphasizes that the oppression and domination in her society negatively affect women’s lives, the court system is biased against women, and religion is manipulated in favor of men. Women are victims in a male-dominated religious society, they are judged and punished by men in an unfair way, which Saadawi criticizes in her work. The systematic exposure of women to violence, sexual assault and rape, and ultimately death penalty is a stark manifestation of the corruption in society. The unfair punishment practice imposed against women is the key factor triggering this deterioration. Accordingly, Saadawi dwells on the unfair/cruel physical punishment method of stoning in the penalization of women and sheds light on the problem of violence in her novel. On the axis of violence, Saadawi severely criticizes the stereotypical religion-referenced patriarchal structure manipulated against women. By taking into consideration all these elements, in this paper, it is aimed to investigate and represent how women are stigmatized and penalized with death. Accordingly, it is concluded that the stigmatization, marginalization, and ultimately death penalty generated against women as a result of their sexes are based on the patriarchal notion enforced by religion.

Müziğin, sosyal yaşantının hemen her alanında yer alan, durum ve koşullara bağlı olarak biçimlenen, kimi zaman da biçimlendiren bir olgu olması, toplumların tarihi söz konusu olduğunda, yaşayan ve yaşananlarla ilgili önemli ipuçları sunmaktadır. Bir toplumda üretilen müziğin, o toplumun yaşayış özelliklerini yansıtan bir dil aracına dönüşmesi, aynı zamanda toplumsal bellek olarak da işlev görmesini sağlamaktadır. Dolayısıyla müzik tarihi çalışmalarında özellikle besteciler üzerinde durulması bir tesadüf değildir. Bu bağlamda Muammer Sun, ülkemizin müzik kültürü ve tarihi açısından çok önemli bir değer olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Sun’ un besteciliği, eğitimciliği, düşün önderi ve uygulayıcısı olarak, Türk müzik yaşantısında, özellikle Çağdaş Türk Müziği alanındaki üretimleri, çalışmaları, araştırmaları, kurucu ve uygulayıcı pozisyonlarının kazandırdıkları, akademik, sanatsal ve düşünsel çalışmalarda öncelikli kaynak niteliği taşımaktadır. Bilindiği üzere İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrası değişen dünya koşulları, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Tarihi’ni etkileyen önemli faktörlerin başında yer almaktadır. İki dünya savaşı sonrası bilimsel ve endüstriyel gelişimin, değişen siyasal ve sosyal ortamların, günümüz müziği üzerine çok boyutlu etkileri olmuştur. Bu etkiler özellikle müziği üretenler üzerinden izlendiğinde daha farklı bir anlam kazanır. Bu çalışmada, Muammer Sun’un Türk müzik yaşantısına katkıları üzerinde durulurken, eş zamanlı olarak aynı tarihlerde devletçe alınan kararların, yapılan uygulamaların, dolayısıyla hükümet politikalarının, Türkiye’deki çağdaş müzik üzerindeki yansımaları da ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışma, Sun’un eserleri, yapmaya çalıştıkları, çalışma koşulları ve karşılaştığı durumların yanında, bu süreçteki müzik politikalarının ne olduğu, zamanın şartları da göz önüne alınarak ele alındığı için önem taşımaktadır. Ayrıca yapılan çalışmada, tarihsel ve betimleyici bir yöntem izlenerek, Muammer Sun’un çalışmaları çerçevesinde, devletin müzik politikalarının oluşturduğu durum ve koşulları tespit etme ve Türkiye’ de yakın geçmişin, günümüz çağdaş müziğine yansımalarına bir ayna tutma amacı taşınmaktadır.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation of Da qing shu (Ficus hookeri) leaf meal as herbal feed additive on nutrients utilization and growth performance of growing crossbred calves. Ten Jersey male cross-bred calves (~ 4 months of age) were divided equally into two groups (G1 and G2) and were fed ad lib. under stall feeding on a paddy straw based mixed ration consisting of 50% paddy straw and 50% concentrate mixture for a duration of 140 days. Two types (C1 and C2) of iso-nitrogenous concentrate mixtures were prepared. Four per cent (w/w) wheat bran in concentrate mixture (C2) of test group (G2) was replaced by sun dried ground Ficus hookeri leaf meal. Experimental calves of test group (G2) were fed Ficus hookeri leaf meal @ 2% of the diet. Daily dry matter intake (g/d) was similar among the calves of two experimental groups. Apparent digestibility of DM, OM, NDF, ADF and cellulose improved in the Ficus hookeri leaf meal fed calves (G2). DCP value of the ration was similar while, TDN value of the ration was higher in the calves of Ficus hookeri leaf meal supplemented group (G2). However, plane of nutrition among the calves of both experimental groups was similar. Average finishing body weight, daily body weight gain, feed conversion efficiency and blood glucose level were higher in Ficus hookeri leaf fed calves (G2). Therefore, it may be concluded from the results of the study that dietary supplementation of Da qing shu (Ficus hookeri) leaf meal as herbal feed additive @ 2% of total mixed diet significantly improved the fibre digestibility, average daily body weight gain and feed conversion efficiency in growing Jersey male crossbred calves.

The objective of this research is to analyze the academic trajectory of the students of the Bachelor's Degree in Nutrition of the University Center UAEM Amecameca, dependent of the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico, compared to the trajectory of the global group of students accepted in those years, particularly on their dropout and failure rates. We also sought to determine the effects of gender on these rates. The research approach was quantitative, the design was non-experimental, longitudinal and descriptive analytical. We had the support of the Direction of the academic space, the Tutorial Program, the Department of School Control and the Statistical Agenda of the institution. Based on the results, it was shown that these indexes are higher in second chance students than in the group of accepted students, and that gender and level of studies have an influence on these indicators.
Molecular profile of glioblastoma and its clinical correlations
Authors: Correa-Silva MH , Cirelli-Moraes A , Maria DA
Published: April 2023

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a malignant neoplasm of the central nervous system that is highly invasive and has a poor prognosis, with an average patient survival of 15 to 17 months. It is characterized by amplification of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene, overexpression of the EGFR protein, and loss of the tumor suppressor gene phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN). And the secondary form, which accounts for about 10% of cases, is associated with the younger age of the patient and arises from the progression of low-grade gliomas. It has a better prognosis and usually has mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and tumor protein 53 (TP53) genes. However, detailed knowledge about the heterogeneity of molecular alterations of the tumor may contribute to the prognosis of the patient and his response to treatment and to the improvement of current therapeutic strategies, besides contributing to the development of new strategies and treatment protocols for this type of tumor.

The dynamics of changes in financial instruments used in the Ukrainian financial market is investigated. The importance of using financial instruments in the Ukrainian economy is substantiated. The article identifies the most important problems and suggests methods and ways of more efficient functioning of the studied market. It is proved that to increase the country’s competitiveness in the world financial market it is necessary to develop new financial instruments. The data on the use of financial instruments along with their grouping for 2013-2021 are systematized. It is necessary to further strengthen the tendencies of providing various types of financial support for regional development. In the future, it should also be taken into account that an indispensable condition for sustainable and effective regional development is institutional support, first of all, it is about regional development funds, which provides for an increase in the budgetary self-sufficiency of the regions. Thus, the coordinated activity of the financial system in a harmonious and professional combination of its functions is possible with the assistance of the state apparatus and a developed financial market
Burnout Prevalence and its Associated Factors among Healthcare Workers during COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Thakur Aakriti , Thakur Anchal , Mehta Piyush
Published: April 2023

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global health threat and has placed an extraordinary demand on healthcare workers around the world. More than half of healthcare workers in this phase experienced burnout. The main causes of personal, professional, and patient-related burnout were found to be direct participation in COVID-19 screening or treatment, having a medical condition, and less psychological support at work. Burnout was cited by healthcare employees as being caused by their workloads, the pandemic's uncertainties, difficult work-family balance, and strained working relationships. Burnout syndrome is more directly serving the people working in professions that are seen in important of human relationships. Nursing is one of the human service professions and is specifically vital in the medical and mental health care delivery. In the health professional heavy workload and non-compliance among persons are important risk factors for burnout. Exhaustion appeared to be the major symptom, and many participants utilized problem-focused coping to deal with the adversities experienced during the pandemic. Health workers reported physical, occupational, psychological, and social-related negative impacts resulting from burnout. Burnout is generally associated with higher rates of illness, increased use of alcohol and drugs, lower career satisfaction, high “staff turnover” but also reduced the quality of service, resulting in the poor patient outcome. As the pandemic trajectory is yet unknown, these findings provide early insight and guidance for possible interventions.

Published: April 2023

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has risen to the top most cause of mortality in the world. Every twenty years, the illness rate doubles, affecting about one in every 10 households. AD is characterized by a gradual loss of neurons in the cerebral cortex, resulting in brain shrinkage. Senile neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles become the disease’s primary characteristic. However, a continuous strategy is customized to cure AD effectively. However, as a result of difficulties in the medication delivery system induced by different barriers such as blood–brain barrier and cerebrospinal fluid has become the primary cause of therapeutic failure. Thus, to address these problems, nanotechnology is a potential technique for overcoming them. This study discusses the use of targeted delivery of medicament for the successful remedy and diagnosis of AD that utilizes nanocarriers as an alternative administration route, thus allowing the release of the drug into central nervous system.

The coastal ecosystems of mangroves and beach forests are key to Climate Change adaptation and mitigation (CCAM) through their services of coastal protection, carbon sequestration, and provision of seedlings of pioneering (beach forest) species for lowland reforestation. The paper discusses science-based CCAM interventions that combine my formal training in marine biology and the need for coastal protection in the local communities where my environmental NGO operates. These initiatives include mangrove ecoparks, ecologically sound mangrove rehabilitation, coastal greenbelts of mangroves and beach forests, reversion of abandoned fishponds to mangroves, and beach forest nursery. It gives recommendations to government agencies and non-government organizations alike to protect mangroves as ecoparks, establish protective coastal greenbelts, and revert abandoned fishponds to mangroves.
