Nutrition status of people is decided by the dietary habits of people of a region and it has substantial implications for the quality of life of its population. In this background, a study had been undertaken with the objective of understanding dietary habits with special reference to dietary diversity and nutritional status among rural population. The study is based on the primary data collected in Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh during the year 2014-15. The body mass index, one of the indicator of nutrition status reveals about 10 per cent men, 20 per cent women, 30 per cent boys and 35 per cent girls were coming under underweight and remaining fell in overweight category. Nutrition awareness among the female groups was better than male groups and anganwadi workers were the key informants. The actual consumption of all the food groups were about 50 per cent less than the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) across all the categories. Home produced milk consumption was near to RDA and market depended pulses were more deficient in their consumption. The Individual Diet Diversity Score (IDDS) ranged from 7.6 to 8.0; womensâ€™ dietary diversity score was slightly less than men, similar was the case with children. Simpson Index of Dietary Diversity (SIDD) ranged from 0.69 to 0.77. As evidenced from this study, household production enhances food accessibility, hence, promotion of diversified cropping pattern could be a right strategy for enhancing nutritional security in rural areas. Further, this study suggests to target men as well women for sensitization and awareness programme about importance of food and nutrition to achieve nutritional security of all in particular women.

Small and marginal farmers are the core of the Indian rural economy constituting 85% of the total farming community but possessing only 44% of the total operational land. Indian agriculture is labour oriented and requires lot of man-power and energy but even after this hard work farmers are not in a position to earn their livelihood, especially small farmers because there is very little left after they pay for all inputs (seeds, livestock breeds, fertilizers, pesticides, energy, feed, labour, etc.). To fulfill basic needs of these farm families including food (cereal, pulses, oilseeds, milk, fruit, honey, meat etc.), feed fodder, fibre and fuel warrant an attention about integrated farming system (IFS). The emergence of IFS has enabled us to develop a framework for an alternative development model to improve the feasibility of small sized farming operations in relation to larger ones. IFS refer to agricultural systems that integrate livestock and crop production or integrate fish and livestock and may sometimes be known as integrated bio systems. In this system, an inter-related set of enterprises are used so that the waste from one component becomes an input for other enterprises of the system, which reduces cost and improves production and thereby income. Integrated farming systems seem to be the possible solution to the continuous increase of demand for food and nutrition, income stability and livelihood upliftment particularly for small and marginal farmers with little resources. Based on the research works conducted all over the country, it is clear that crop cultivation alone can't fulfill the demand of food and nutritional requirement and we have to focus on multi-component farming as it is the only way of efficient resource recycling within the system with increased economic profitability, economic stability, enhanced soil sustainability, and preserving environmental quality and maintaining biological diversity and ecological stability.

Weeds and nutrients, particularly N, are two crucial aspects of conservation agriculture (CA), whose management often poses challenge. The combined effects of weed and N management have hardly been studied under CA. This experiment was undertaken to evaluate their effects on weed suppression, soil properties and productivity in a maize (Zea mays L.) – wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend Fiori & Paol) system under conservation agriculture during 2013-14 and 2014-15. Three weed control treatments as main plots and four nitrogen levels as sub-plots treatments were based on integrated weed management, soil test and plant sensor–GreenSeeker (GS)-aided approach. It was observed that the herbicide combination (atrazine + pendimethalin) and the brown manuring + 2,4-D weed management in maize resulted in 66% and 31% weed control index, respectively over weedy check. But, in wheat, clodinafop-propargyl + carfentrazone-ethyl (post-emergent) and pendimethalin + carfentrazone (pre-emergent) resulted in 81% and 58% weed control index, respectively. The mean maize grain and stover yields were increased by 12% and 8%, respectively due to the optimised GS–N treatments (N2, N3, and N4) than entire N basal application (N1). Also, mean wheat grain and straw yields increased by 9% and 8%, respectively over whole N basal application. The ‘best optimised’ GS–N (N2– 50% basal + 25% broadcast at 25 DAS + rest N guided by GS) had 6%, 7% and 15% greater mean weight diameter, saturated hydraulic conductivity and microbial biomass carbon over whole N basal application after two years of cropping. While brown manuring (maize) + herbicide combination (wheat) had 4%, 7% and 6% greater mean weight diameter, saturated hydraulic conductivity and microbial biomass carbon, respectively over herbicide combinations alone. Available N, P, and K in soil were 8%, 11% and 2% higher in the optimised GS–N treatments over entire N applied as basal. It may be concluded that the integration of brown manuring (in maize)+ herbicide combinations (in wheat), and the optimisation and synchronisation of N fertilisation can suppress weeds, enhance soil fertility with improved maize and wheat productivity.

Integrated farming system (IFS) ensures efficient utilization of available farm resources, increases unit productivity and income that are pre-requisite for sustainable livelihood of small and marginal farmers. The present study was conducted to evaluate the performance of four IFS model developed in ~ 1.0 acre area, at ICAR Research Complex for North Eastern Hill Region, Nagaland Centre, Jharnapani, Medziphema, Nagaland. The major components in IFS models were agriculture, horticulture, livestock and subsidiary components like fishery, vermicompost, mushroom and azolla. The field crops, vegetables and livestock components were included in IFS model considering topography of land, soil texture and preference for the tribal livelihood. The performance in terms of component wise productivity, profitability, employment generation and sustainability value index (SVI) were evaluated in consecutive three years (2012â€“2015). The combinations of subsidiary components in agriculture + horticulture + poultry + fishery in IFS model (modelâ€“4) gave the highest net returns (Rupees 32040) followed by the model with agriculture + horticulture + fishery + piggery + vermicompost (model 3) with net profits of Rupees 21230. In field crops component, cropping sequence of ricetoria- mungbean system was found to be the best in terms of productivity among the tested IFS models except in model 1. In terms of employment generation, IFS model-4 has shown maximum man-days engagement (395 days), followed by 350 days in model-3. Based on sustainability values index (SI) derived from different IFS models, maximum SVI values was recorded in model-4 (0.71) followed by model-3 (0.47). Therefore, the intensification of IFS model with crop, horticulture, fishery and livestock or poultry should be popularized among the small and marginal farmers on a larger scale, as it provide scope for higher returns, year round employment and sustainable livelihood in longer perspectives of Eastern Himalayas.

Hidradenitis suppurativa, also known as acne inversa, is a chronic inflammatory skin disease which affects ~1% of the world population. Hidradenitis suppurativa significantly impacts patients’ quality of life due to its chronic nature and frequently occurring relapses. Therefore, Hidradenitis suppurativa patients need to get an early diagnosis. This study was designed to evaluate the efficiency of Endolift®, a novel minimally invasive outpatient laser procedure, for treating Hidradenitis suppurativa. Thirty patients in the range of 19 to 43 y-o, 20 women and 10 men, were enrolled on this study. Patients have undergone a single treatment under tumescent anaesthesia. Treatment was performed using the Endolift® procedure, consisting of the device Eufoton® LASEmaR® 1500. This device uses a 1470 nm wavelength laser lead by micro-optical fibres of different calibres directly inside the skin. This treatment aims to destroy problematic glands with a thermal effect and remove them with liposuction. The treatment has a strong anti-inflammatory effect and promotes neocollagenesis. Eighteen patients obtained optimal results, 5 had good results, and 7 reported moderate results. The treatment was repeated for 7 patients for small refractory areas. Patients with earlier onset of the disease generally had better results. No side effect was recorded. Endolift® treatment represents a big hope for the patient because it is a safe, effective, minimally invasive procedure and can be repeated.

Published: February 2023

Ayurveda as a complete life science describes various treatment methods. In Ayurveda diseases are mainly classified into Sharirika and Manasika Roga based on its Adhisthana. Grahani Roga is having the Adhisthana of both Sharairika as well as Manasika Roga. Grahani is the seat of Agni, which helps in the digestion and metabolism of consumed food. Any deformity in the morphology and hysiological aspect of this organ will lead to pathophysiological conditions. Ayurvedic classics have given Satwa, Atma and Sharira in the basis of Ayu. So any disturbance in the Ayu i.e. diseases is due to any one or all of the below three reasons. The same concept is applicable in Grahani Roga. According to Acharya Charaka Chikitsa is being divided into three types- Daivavyapashraya, Yuktivyaoashraya, Satvavajaya. Grahani Roga is Psychosomatic Disorder, that’s why Yuktivyapashraya Chikitsa alone is being insufficient for the complete management of many of the diseases. Hence it is the need of time to apply Trividha Chikitsa. Satvavajaya Chikitsa is one among them which helps in Nighrana of Mana from Ahita Indrdiyas.The present paper is aimed at knowing the role of Satva in the Grahani Roga and Satvavajaya Chikitsa in its management. Keywords: Ayurveda, Grahani Roga , Satvavajaya Chikitsa.

Opening Access, Closing the Knowledge Gap? – International Legal Scholarship going online
Authors: Rau Daniela
Published: February 2023

Die hybride Konferenz „Opening Access, Closing the Knowledge Gap – International Legal Scholarship going online“ des Völkerrechtsblogs zielte darauf ab, das Verständnis von „Open Access“ als Publikationsstandard zu erweitern: „Opening Access“ beschreibt einen aktive Handlungen einfordernden, kontinuierlichen Prozess der Öffnung einer bis dato eher wenig zugänglichen Wissenschaft und Lehre des internationalen Rechts. Aufgrund ihres niedrigschwelligen Online-Zugangs bergen Blogs auf dem Gebiet des internationalen Rechts ein erhebliches Potenzial, die Lücke zwischen der interessierten Öffentlichkeit oder anderen Disziplinen und dem innerfachlichen Diskurs zu schließen. Sie bieten mehr Raum für kritische Ansätze und experimentelle Beiträge als etablierte Journals und begünstigen, insbesondere wenn sie im Globalen Süden angesiedelt sind, die Herausbildung eigener akademischer Identitäten jenseits der vorherrschenden westlichen epistemischen Kultur. Berücksichtigung finden muss jedoch die Frage, inwiefern Machtungleichgewicht und strukturelle Barrieren auch über die Grenzen des Publikationsformates hinaus gegenüber den Menschen wirken, die nicht dem konstruierten Bild des „typischen“ Völkerrechtswissenschaftlers entsprechen. Dieser Bericht ruft Wissenschaftler*innen, Verlage und Herausgeber*innen dazu auf, ihr Verständnis von Wissen zu dekolonisieren und sich aktiv gegen bestehende Mechanismen der Exklusion – wie epistemische Gewalt und Gatekeeping – in der internationalen Rechtswissenschaft einzusetzen. Dabei ist immer zu bedenken, dass Zugänglichkeit für jeden Menschen anders aussehen kann.
Den Hippokratischen Eid neu denken
Authors: Knoepffler Nikolaus
Published: February 2023

Der Hippokratische Eid prägt bis heute die ärztliche Praxis – und das zu Recht. Die Betonung ärztlicher Expertise und die Sorge um das Patientenwohl haben bis heute nichts von ihrer Aktualität eingebüßt. Allerdings fehlen Überlegungen zur Patientenselbstbestimmung und zur Gerechtigkeit im Gesundheitswesen. Heutige Konflikte am Lebensanfang, am Lebensende und im Bereich der Gesundheitsversorgung erfordern daher, den Eid neu zu denken. In diesem Buch, das sich an Studierende der Medizin, aber auch interessierte Laien und Fachkollegen wendet, werden die wichtigsten medizinethischen Konfliktfälle, u.a. Fragen zu Gentechnik, Enhancement, Organspende und Sterbehilfe, behandelt.
Regularisations of Irregularly Staying Migrants in the EU
Authors: Hinterberger Kevin Fredy
Published: February 2023

‘Combatting’ irregular migration is one of the key challenges to migration management at EU level. The present book addresses one of the most pressing structural problems regarding the EU’s return policy: the low return rate of irregularly staying migrants. In this regard the EU Return Directive obliges Member States to issue a return decision, yet only 40% of such decisions are enforced annually. Moreover, despite the political and legal efforts, the EU is not making any significant progress in enforcing the rules it has laid down in the Return Directive. The legislation of EU Member States may, however, serve as a source for possible solutions to ‘combat’ the problem of irregularly staying migrants. It is for this reason that the book compares the system of regularisations in Austria, Germany and Spain. Regularisations constitute an effective alternative to returns because they terminate the irregular residence of migrants, not through deportation, but rather by granting a right of residence. Regularisation is therefore understood as each legal decision that awards legal residency to irregularly staying migrants. As is shown by the examination and comparison of regularisations in Austria, Germany and Spain, differentiated systems of regularisation exist at national level. However, EU regularisations supplementing the present return policy would be more effective at ‘combatting’ irregular migration at EU level.

It methodically takes up the system of so-called regulated self-regulation and examines cooperation processes at the European and national level. In doing so, it also takes a look at informal processes that precede the shaping of law. Finally, the paper presents ideas for improving the current regulation in congestion management and formulates them as a mandate to the legislator. In this way, it combines fundamental scientific findings with practical implementation.
Las relaciones públicas en la comunicación de la Guardia Civil durante la COVID-19
Authors: Carreton-Ballester Carmen , Lorenzo-Solá Francisco
Published: February 2023

La COVID-19 copó contenidos informativos en los medios de comunicación y evidenció la necesidad de una comunicación responsable desde todas las esferas de la sociedad. Este estudio persigue describir las relaciones de la Guardia Civil (GC) con los diferentes públicos, como agente activo y prescriptor formal en la gestión de la pandemia. Para ello, se analiza la comunicación estratégica descrita en sus memorias de responsabilidad social  y se realiza un análisis de contenido de las 198 noticias aparecidas en los diarios El País y El Mundo a lo largo de las seis olas. Los resultados indican una segmentación de públicos en las memorias (conducta relacional motivacional), frente al enfoque general e informativo en los medios de comunicación, a excepción de los jóvenes. Aunque la presencia de la GC en los medios disminuye durante el 2020, mantienen los medios que más confianza generan a la población (tradicionales y digitales) y registra un aumento de seguidores en Twitter y TikTok. Las noticias con enfoques informativos se refieren a restricciones, mientras que las motivacionales se centran en comunicar las medidas para salvaguardar la salud.

Communication and Public Relations Agencies and Consultancies: Data and Facts for the Sector in Portugal
Authors: Ortega Borges Fabia , Antoniaci Tuzzo Simone
Published: February 2023

This article reflects the creation of an Observatory of Communication and Public Relations Agencies and Consultancies in Portugal, making it necessary to disseminate relevant data, among colleagues: academics, researchers, professionals, companies, and consultants.
By using the SABIO database, our study takes into consideration Portuguese companies registered with the Economic Activity Code 70210 [Consultancy, Public Relations, and Communication Activities] and collect their main characteristics, such as number of agencies; date of establishment; main and secondary activities; localization; business data; operating income; number and evolution of employees; inactivity of agencies; etc.
Having as a reference the European Communication Monitor, this research aims to define a set of variables and parameters that will be monitored periodically, to follow the evolution of the sector in Portugal and its adaptability to the needs of companies that hire this service to ensure their Communication and Public Relations needs, either as a complement to an in-door department, or as a permanent, periodic or occasional external service.
At this moment, our research have found 2033 companies registered in Portugal with the code 70210, but only 378 are currently active and indicate Public Relations and Communication as their main activity, with complementarity with many other economic activities. 82% of companies have been established in the last decade, corresponding to an increase of almost 70% of professionals working in the sector. 53% of the companies are sole proprietorships and 63% fully concentrate the business in Portugal. There is also a strong concentration of those agencies in Lisbon, the political and business capital of the country. Finally, the difficulty of consolidating the sustainability of these companies is also evident, considering that, at the universe of the companies that closed between 2006 and 2020, 71% closed before 5 years of operation.
Movilizando terceras opciones en España: La comunicación política de los partidos minoritarios en Twitter
Authors: Pineda Antonio , Fernández Gómez Jorge David , Rebollo-Bueno Sara
Published: February 2023

Es un escenario donde los partidos tradicionales pierden apoyo popular, los partidos minoritarios se erigen como sujetos relevantes en las democracias contemporáneas. Esta relevancia implica que desde la investigación académica la comunicación de los partidos minoritarios deba estudiarse en sus propios términos. Ignorados por los medios de comunicación tradicionales, los partidos minoritarios necesitan aprovechar las ventajas que suponen la web y las RRSS para competir con los grandes partidos. Este trabajo analiza la comunicación en redes sociales de los partidos minoritarios españoles en las elecciones generales de abril de 2019, con una muestra de 1.498 tuits recogidos de los perfiles oficiales de Twitter de los (por entonces) cuatro principales partidos minoritarios: PACMA, el Partido Comunista de los Pueblos de España, Recortes Cero y VOX. Los resultados indican falta de interacción y diálogo partidos-ciudadanos, con tuits de movilización centrados en las funciones tradicionales de impulso de la campaña.

Techo de cristal y relaciones públicas: La problemática en el campo disciplinar en Argentina
Authors: Carbone Carolina Andrea , Canella-Tsuji Luz
Published: February 2023

Esta investigación se desarrolla en la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad Nacional de Lomas de Zamora (Argentina) y forma parte de un proyecto más amplio sobre “Enfoques transdisciplinares en las Ciencias Sociales en el abordaje de cuestiones de géneros”, donde ocho equipos de investigación han trabajado articuladamente sobre líneas que vinculan diferentes problemáticas de género abordadas desde distintas disciplinas de las Ciencias Sociales. Se adoptó una metodología transdisciplinar, para articular y repensar desde diferentes puntos de vista las problemáticas asociadas a las cuestiones de géneros que, por definición, no admiten explicaciones simples ni lineales. Dado que no existen datos específicos sobre el ámbito de las relaciones públicas (RRPP) en Argentina, se espera que los resultados de esta investigación puedan aportar información para comprender cuál es la situación de las mujeres en este campo en relación al techo de cristal.
Se ha utilizado una metodología mixta, donde se han analizado más de 250 encuestas autoadministradas(aleatoria no probabilística) y 17 entrevistas en profundidad a profesionales referentes de las relaciones públicas de Argentina, con el objetivo de indagar sobre las percepciones de las y los profesionales sobre el fenómeno del “techo de cristal”, sus orígenes, posibles explicaciones, y sus vivencias al respecto, brindando una mirada holística a esta problemática. Los resultados nos han permitido confirmar que hay fenómenos en la profesión que son recurrentes en distintas regiones del mundo (por ejemplo la feminización de la profesión, el techo de cristal, los estereotipos asociados al género o la existencia de las cofradías masculinas, entre otros) y sin embargo, en nuestro estudio aparecen otros fenómenos que contradicen algunas teorías y que nos permiten pensar en caminos alternativos para abordar esta problemática social.

Published: February 2023

La crisis provocada por la pandemia de la Covid-19 y las medidas gubernamentales tomadas a raíz de ella han tenido un efecto directo en la industria turística. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo conocer cómo las Oficinas Nacionales de Turismo (ONT) de varios países de Asia (Corea del Sur e India) y de Europa (Alemania y España) gestionaron su comunicación de crisis ante la Covid-19. El estudio se realizó analizando el contenido de los mensajes publicados en las cuentas de Twitter de las ONT desde el inicio o la detección del primer paciente hasta un mes después de la declaración oficial de pandemia por parte de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Los resultados no permiten establecer modelos de gestión de la comunicación de acuerdo a las áreas geográficas ni a las decisiones de los gobiernos. Sin embargo, los datos revelan que las ONT asiáticas analizadas reaccionaron más rápidamente y fueron más activas en su comunicación al comienzo de la crisis en comparación con las europeas. También muestran que los tuits alusivos a la Covid-19 generaron la mayor cantidad de reacciones entre los usuarios, a pesar de no ser los más publicados por las ONT. Este estudio contribuye a la gestión de los países de la comunicación relacionada con el turismo ante las crisis de la pandemia, ya que proporciona conocimiento sobre el uso de Twitter en las comunicaciones por parte de varias ONT, lo que puede servir como referencia para la adecuada comunicación digital de las crisis en este tipo de situaciones. que no se dañe la imagen de los países como destinos.
Visibilidad de las mujeres en el sector de la comunicación. Análisis de las entrevistas en Dircomfidencial
Authors: López del Castillo Wilderbeek Francisco Leslie
Published: February 2023

Tanto la bibliografía académica como los informes sectoriales coinciden en que el talento femenino ha irrumpido con fuerza en el ámbito profesional de la comunicación, llegando a ser mayoría en disciplinas concretas como las relaciones públicas. Sin embargo, de la misma forma, pervive la disyuntiva sobre que esta preeminencia en términos cuantitativos no se mantiene cuando se trata de la composición de la cúpula directiva de las organizaciones dedicadas a la comunicación. Esta investigación se ha propuesto analizar las entrevistas publicadas por el medio especializado en comunicación Dircomfidencial desde enero de 2018 hasta octubre del 2022. El análisis de contenido ha permitido confirmar que en los puestos de máxima responsabilidad la mayoría de entrevistados fueron hombres, dejando solo un 28,5% de mujeres entrevistadas. Peores resultados se obtuvieron en la categoría de responsable de área o regional, con solo un 13,3% de mujeres entrevistadas. Estos datos confirman, e incluso empeoran, los obtenidos por el informe GENDERCOM (Moreno et al., 2018) según el cual existe un techo de cristal que se traduce en una proporción de 7 a 3 entre hombres y mujeres en puestos de dirección en organizaciones de comunicación. Sin embargo, un hallazgo relevante fue que en el cargo de dirección de comunicación hubo paridad en número de entrevistas entre hombres y mujeres, confirmando indirectamente datos de la web Topcomunicación. Este fenómeno daría cuenta no solo de la posición relevante de las profesionales en la cúspide de la dirección de comunicación, sino también de la significativa visibilidad de estas. Por otra parte, el análisis automático de textos señaló diferencias entre las entrevistas a directores y directoras de comunicación. En el caso de las directoras hubo mayor presencia de conceptos relacionados con aspectos sociales, mientras que en los directores aparecieron más conceptos relacionados con la dirección estratégica.
mujer y las relaciones públicas desde un alcance neurocomunicacional
Authors: Barrientos Báez Almudena , Caldevilla-Domínguez David
Published: February 2023

Hace ya varias décadas que la sociedad –su realidad­­– se ha despegado del mercado único masculino: apoyado en logros sociales como la entrada de la mujer en el mundo laboral y la entrega a la misma del control de sus propias finanzas. Tras ella, la brecha se ha ampliado más con la progresiva ruptura de la esfera de género bipolar, y con la ampliación de mercados previamente más limitados por otras barreras sociales como la edad. En este artículo se define como objetivo, determinar las relaciones existentes entre las relaciones públicas y el potencial de la neurociencia en el presente contexto de creciente presencia de la mujer en todos los ámbitos de relación de la sociedad, la comunicación, publicidad, marketing y política. La metodología está basada en la revisión de textos científicos (monografías, artículos académicos, documentales, entre otros), y descriptores relativos a las relaciones públicas, las estrategias de comunicación, la aplicación de la neurociencia y el desarrollo de la implicación de la mujer en todos estos procesos. Un resultado de la investigación relevante es que todavía no se conoce con certeza el funcionamiento de las áreas cerebrales y la influencia de la neuroplasticidad. Un hecho importante si tenemos en cuenta que la actitud y el género difieren aun cuando se lleva a cabo una segmentación de mercado. Se concluye que la inclusión en el área de las relaciones públicas y la comunicación es una consecuencia lógica de la ampliación del género femenino como público: engloba a la mitad de los consumidores potenciales de casi cualquier producto, y, por lo tanto, resulta capital contar con equipos de relaciones públicas capaces de crear contenidos cada vez más eficaces en la labor de alcanzar los objetivos agendados.

Authors: Khoramnia Sara , Moradzadegan Atousa
Published: February 2023

Background: Nephropathy is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes. Type 2 diabetic patients with subclinical hypothyroidism are associated with a high prevalence of diabetic nephropathy. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effect of thyroid hormones on diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetic patients referred to Ahvaz hospitals in 2017. Methods: In this case-control study, 200 diabetic patients (100 with nephropathy and 100 without nephropathy) referred to Ahvaz hospitals were randomly selected. After sampling, biochemical parameters such as fasting blood sugar, BUN, creatinine, uric acid, calcium, and phosphorus were measured. Then, thyroid hormones and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) hormones were measured by the quantitative luminescence method. Results: Thyroid hormones in the patient group were lower than in the control group (P < 0.001). The concentration of TSH in the patient group was higher than in the control group (P < 0.001). Thyroid hormones were negatively and significantly related, and TSH hormone was positively and significantly related to kidney assessment markers. Other results showed that increased TSH and decreased thyroid hormones could increase the risk of developing diabetic nephropathy. So that the T3 hormone was associated with diabetic nephropathy with a greater effect (0.000002 - 0.001057) (CI) = 0.000048 = Odds ratio T3 hormone at 0.73 ng/mL levels has a diagnostic value with a sensitivity of 83% and the specificity was 84% for the differentiation of nephropathy in diabetic patients. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that an increase in TSH hormone and a decrease in thyroid hormones could increase the chance of developing diabetic nephropathy. The T3 hormone is more effective with diabetic nephropathy, and with high diagnostic value, it can be suggested as a biomarker for predicting nephropathy in diabetic patients.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent and life-threatening tumor with high morbidity and mortality. Proper prediction and prognosis are incredibly stressed to diagnose HCC and increase patient survival. Objectives: This research aims to evaluate gene expression levels of pre-differentiated transcripts for those suffering from chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and HCC. Methods: To examine the previously analyzed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) transcriptomic array data, we selected seven differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in normal versus CHB and CHB versus HCC (CD44, SP3, USP8, E2F2, UFM1, IFN regulative factor binding protein 2 (IRF2BP2), and T-cell intracellular antigen 1 (TIA1)). The study included individuals with treatment-naïve CHB (n = 30) and primary HCC (n = 25) and healthy controls (n = 15). Subsequently, the expression of genes was assayed using qRT-PCR. A phylogenetic evaluation was performed using direct sequencing of HBsAg. Results: In HCC patients, 60% (n = 15) were HBeAg-positive. HBeAg was negative in all CHB patients, but all were anti-HBe-positive. The hepatitis B virus (HBV) load of HCC patients was more than that of CHB subjects. All patients were of the Iranian race and HBV D genotype. The expression of five transcriptional markers (CD44, SP3, USP8, E2F2, and UFM1) was higher in HCC patients than in CHB and healthy subjects, which was similar to the initial microarray data analysis. Conclusions: Transcriptional signatures may be related to the pathogenesis of HCC and used as diagnostic biological markers for the initial monitoring and prediction of HCC.

Background: A large number of new substances have insufficient biopharmaceutical properties for oral administration caused by their slow dissolution rate and poor solubility. Objective: The purpose of our experiment was to improve the physicochemical properties of a hydrophobic drug, quercetin, by the nanomilling approach. Methods: Quercetin nanosuspensions were prepared using a wet-milling method followed by lyophilization. Stabilizer type and ratio, drug content, milling time, and bead size were identified as critical variables, and their impacts on quercetin particle size were assessed. The optimized nanocrystal was characterized by its morphology, crystallinity, molecular interactions, saturation solubility, and dissolution properties. Results: At optimized process conditions of milling at 500 rpm for 18 cycles of grinding with 0.3 - 0.4 mm zirconium oxide beads, minimum particle size, and PDI values were 281.21 nm and 0.22, respectively. Nanocrystals showed rod-like nanostructures, and XRD scans confirmed a decrease in drug crystallinity. The optimized formulation showed increased solubility and dissolution rate, as well as good physical stability. Conclusions: Particle size reduction by media milling technique was an efficient method for the solubility enhancement of hydrophobic drugs.

Published: February 2023

Abstract. One of the most important requirements of a market economy is the existence of a large and fully controlled financial market. The financial market is a very broad concept. In general, the financial market can be dvided into two parts: the bank loan market and the securities market. One of the structures that ensures the full functioning of the market economy model in modern conditions is the securities market. The securities market is a market where lonq-term supply and demand market. Economic, social and political conditions are necessary for the development of such a market. Thus, the lonq-term funds have a high share in the economy, the increase in the demand companies in a lonq-term form, political stability in the country, the spread of open joint-stock companies, the high level of income of the people, etc. such conditions are required. In the presented article, the main aspect of the credit monetary policy is to carry out practices in the market, to implement the purchase and sale of new government securities.

Authors: Singh Makkhan Sidhu Jitendra
Published: February 2023

Time series analysis has been widely used by the researchers in the field of mathematical forecasting; it has been mainly used to obtain the forecast of time series dealing with pollutants, groundwater level, and stock exchange so as to study their future behavior of such time series. The present research work deals with the black carbon concentrations in three major coal mines of India namely, Bokaro, Jharia and Raniganj. In this study, a time series data last 38 years (from 1980 to 2018) obtained from a reliable source (NASA) have been considered by statistical analysis tools like mean, median, mode, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, coefficient of variation and time series (ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average)) model at 95% confidence limits have been applied. The validation of the model is tested using R-square, stationary R-square, root mean square error (RMSE), normalized Bayesian information criterion (BIC). It is observed that the model fitted very well, based on these past observations, ARIMA model is applied to obtain the prediction of the amount of black carbon emission for next 7 years 5 months (from Jun 2018 to Oct 2025). These results will help to develop new policies and preventive measures in future by the government agencies, NGOs in these areas and take a note of the seriousness and impact of such huge concentration of black carbon emission in these areas.

Authors: Saxena Garima
Published: February 2023

This paper deals with the nonlinear dynamics of Susceptible, Infected, Recovered epidemic model with a particular non linear incidence rate and the consequences of media awareness program. The model analysis shows that the spread of an infectious disease can be controlled by using awareness programs. Different equilibrium points and their stability are discussed. The basic reproduction number R0 is obtained. We also apply Lasalle’s invariance principle to show that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if R0<1 and we use a geometric approach to find out the global stability of the endemic equilibrium. In addition, to our analytical results, several numerical simulations are also illustrated
