Published: May 2022

As we know that when we use the colour bands that are pure in nature it will help some of the public authorities to update the land information. It will be a sensing platform so it will take less time and the cost we will be spending will not be much heavy, in that manner aircraft system will be used that should be unmanned. Here we will be using a method for optical aerial imagery that will come under land use classification with decision tree. In the beginning the ownership parcel map will come under play for taking the land cover information through maximum likelihood classifier. Then, to make the relation between land usage and land coverage we will generate the decision tree. A well structured parcel map will be produced by the merits of geographical characteristics of parcels.Hence the aftereffects of the spatial resolution under the classification approach will be discussed completely by sampling them again from the 20 then 50 then 100cm. This land use can be widely used in landscape and urban planning because of the flexible classification method. Using aerial images the object oriented approach for image based analysis is used for urban land cover mapping.

Inflammation is a common component behind pathophysiology of many chronic diseases like cardiovascular, arthritis, bowel disorders, cancer, chronic wounds, and lesions which are the most significant cause of death in the world, according to the World Health Organization. Chronic inflammation associated diseases are expected to increase persistently by the next 30 years as 3 of 5 people die daily due to chronic inflammatory diseases. So, the prerequisite of novel anti-inflammatory agents has been noteworthy increased than ever. Heterocyclic compounds are being developed at the large pace over the most recent couple of decades due to their intriguing pharmacological activities. The most remarkable and well-known heterocyclic nucleus is pyrazole which has pulled the consideration of numerous specialists to explore its wide potential. Pyrazole derivatives are considered as valuable class of compounds owing to their extremely noticeable anti-inflammatory activity. This review delivers a vast summary of pyrazole derivatives developed last decade for their action against inflammation along with docking studies with a hope that it will be useful for medicinal chemists working in anti-inflammatory drug development.

Invocation of supreme court's Inherent jurisdiction in broken marriages
Authors: Balyan Neha , Verma Rekha
Published: May 2022

"Till death do us apart" the myth of perpetual bond of cohabitation in a Sacrosanct marriage has been faded with time. The social taboo attached to divorce has been diluted and has been accepted as a remedy rather than a curse. There has been a journey in divorce cases from guilt theory to consent and further to breakdown of marriage. Irretrievable Breakdown of Marriage though received the attention of Law Commission of India[1], Judiciary [2] and attempts have been made by the legislature[3] but could not be substantiated in the Family Jurisprudence of India. This paper attempts to focus upon the judgments of the Supreme Court where the inherent jurisdiction under Article 142 of the Constitution has been invoked for doing complete justice in matrimonial disputes. The author tends to limit the scope of the paper to Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.

Published: May 2022

This early on section talks about the contemplations of work environment discovering that are as of now arising through research universally. The primary reason here is to outline the most recent advances Thinking about work and learning such points of view help to pass on how we can more likely put together, plan, and assess the nature and cycles of learning as people figure out how to address the issues of people as they look to safeguard congruity and improvement in their work life and social world. For work. This worry is never more significant than the way that such learning is at the same time conceptualized as the two cycles of social generation and change and self-awareness and change. The part gives a scaffold between the current commitments to our comprehension of learning through work and the commitments made in the accompanying sections. In doing as such, it looks to distinguish the qualities and impediments of existing points of view through hypothetical and experimental work by zeroing in on the interrelated connections between the individual and the social world in the cycles of learning and work.

Published: May 2022

White tea, also known as Camellia Sinensis (Theaceae family), is a lesser-known variety of the world-famous Camellia Sinensis plant and beverage, despite its possible health advantages, cheap cost, and energizing effects. In order to prevent the breakdown of polyphenols, which prevents chlorophyll from combining with the leaf buds, young tea shoots are kept away of direct sunlight. The goal of herbal medicine research & development is to enhance the quality and safety of natural products. Analyses of phytochemicals and physicochemical were performed. Different concentrations of white tea have been studied microbially. Tannings, flavonoids, glycosides, and saponins were found in the materials during a phytochemical investigation. In the ethanolic extract of white tea leaves, polyphenol content is 36.25 percent, with catechins making up 19.10 percent and tannins making up 17.52 percent of that. Catechins include 7.98 percent EGCG as a derivative. The phytochemical properties reported in this study could be included in the pharmacopoeial standard, which could help standardize it.

Published: May 2022

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a disease with multi-system complications. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is an early stage of diabetic cardiomyopathy that can develop to heart failure.  It has no clinical symptoms and can be easily diagnosed with echocardiography. The study aims to evaluate the LVDD in Type-2 DM with no symptoms of cardiovascular disease and its association with glycaemic control (HbA1c), DM duration, and microangiopathy. The cross-sectional hospital-based study included 100 asymptomatic patients with type 2 DM without evidence of cardiovascular involvement were studied. LVDD was evaluated by doppler echocardiography, which included E/A ratio, assessed in relation with age, sex, duration of diabetes and HbA1c level. LVDD was present in 57 % of the type 2 DM patients with males accounting for the majority of cases (63.2%). Diastolic dysfunction was more common in patients on oral hypoglycaemic agents (78%), insulin (2%) and/or both (19%). There was a linear progression of diastolic dysfunction with the increase age group (P = 0.001). LVDD was significantly associated with uncontrolled diabetes as measured by HbA1c levels with higher number patients among HbA1c >8.5 (71.9%; P = 0.001) and a longer duration of DM with highest among 6 -10 years (38.6%; P = 0.001).

Published: May 2022

En la presente investigación se aborda el análisis de los artefactos arqueológicos líticos recuperados en el municipio de Santa María de Nueva Segovia, localizado en la zona noroeste del territorio nicaragüense, fronterizo con la república de Honduras. Se parte, para ello, del hecho que esos artefactos son la evidencia que mayor resistencia presenta ante las inclemencias del tiempo, por tanto, su presencia en los contextos arqueológicos aportará importante información sobre su origen, uso y desarrollo de la tecnología desarrollada por la sociedad que los produjo. Cada artefacto es el resultado de diversos procesos de producción. Para aproximarnos al conocimiento del esfuerzo que ello implicó, se analizó la materia prima, las técnicas de talla aplicadas y las posibles huellas de uso mediante observación macroscópica y apoyo de lupas. Con todo esto se podría inferir el desarrollo tecnológico y económico de la sociedad que los produjo. Es importante señalar que el presente estudio, deriva del proyecto titulado “Reconocimiento y Documentación de Sitios Arqueológicos del municipio de Santa María, Nueva Segovia”, en el cual se documentaron ocho sitios arqueológicos, de los cuales proviene la muestra lítica analizada. El proyecto se realizó en el primer semestre del 2021, bajo la dirección del Centro Arqueológico de Documentación e Investigación CADI de la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias Jurídicas de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua, UNAN, Managua con el apoyo fi nanciero y logístico de la Alcaldía del Poder Ciudadano del municipio de Santa María de Nueva Segovia y la colaboración del Instituto Nicaragüense de Cultura INC.

The Church as the “People of God”
Authors:   Catholic University of Eastern Africa, Ndinda Lucia
Published: May 2022

The Church as “People of God” is a term that has gained prominence since the Vatican II Council although the term has been in use since the times of the Old Testament (OT). In the OT the Israelites were referred to as People of Yahweh, In Exodus Moses conducts a covenant between the “People of God” and God himself; “You shall be my people and I will be your God” (Deut 32:9). Today we have some theologians who argue that all humankind is indeed the “People of God” (Osei-Bonsu) since they were created by the same God who is our Father. Others think that the term “People of God” refers to all Christians in the NT context where it involves the community of believers (1 Peter 2:9) “You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a people set apart to sing God’s Praises.” The limitations of the image “Populi Dei” (or People of God) arises in two ways; first, that of understanding the unity that is demanded by core concepts such as ‘Body of Christ,” and secondly, the more sociological meaning that risks the mystery aspect of Christ’s mission in the world. In comparing the Catholic and evangelical conceptualization about the image of the Church, the evangelicals often tend to focus more on the virtual or spiritual unity, while the Catholic understanding refers to both physical and spiritual unity of the Church. Therefore, the term “People of God” is greatly accepted among evangelicals than Corpus Christ that is often more popular in the Catholic circles. Lumen Gentium (Vat. II) used the term “People of God” in direct reference to the Church as an image hence giving it a deeper meaning. The second chapter of Lumen Gentium bears the title ““People of God”.” This title does not refer to the laity in contra-distinction to the “hierarchy,” but rather it applies to all members of the Church. First it was used to refer to the Church as a body of the New covenant in Christ’s blood and in the sense of Koinonia or communion of the Christ’s faithful. Therefore the “People of God” refers to the Corpus Christi (i.e., Body of Christ) that is united in one faith and one love and moving towards the soteriological calling by Christ their head. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the Populi Dei concept that underscores the practical implications of the term Populi Dei in continuous self-awareness of the Church in the increasing roles to be taken up by the lay faithful. Keywords: Church, People of God, Lumen Gentium, Body of Christ

Authors: Dewi Rizqia Lutfi Kurnia , Muhid Ahmad , Kurniadi Didit
Published: May 2022

Enchanted (2007) is a musical romantic comedy movie produced by Walt Disney Pictures that combine animated and live action scenes. The movie has interesting characters and plot to analyze. This study examines Giselle’s character in Disney’s Enchanted movie, the connection with gender-role stereotypes, and the moral values from the story. Data were collected by using library research method and analyzed through structural approach and coded content analysis approach based on coding characteristics. Results showed that Giselle has more feminine than masculine characteristics that confirm the female gender-role stereotype. However, a twist at the climax of the story displaying her acquired masculine traits indicates the rise of modern female-gendered representation from Disney.  Further studies are needed to investigate the development of the dynamic character related to Disney’s gender-role message and the influences to today society life.

Published: May 2022

The authors present a case of transient postoperative inferior subluxation of the shoulder after arthroscopic surgical stabilization for recurrent anterior dislocation. The patient was a 61-year-old woman with myasthenia gravis (MG). The first anterior shoulder dislocation occurred because of a fall to the ground. Despite a successful closed reduction, two more dislocations occurred in 3 weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an anterior labroligamentous periosteal sleeve avulsion (ALPSA) lesion, an engaging Hill-Sachs lesion, and large tears of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons. The patient underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and ALPSA repair with a remplissage procedure. Intraoperatively, no tendency for instability was found; however, a widened glenohumeral joint space and inferior subluxation of the humeral head without functional compromise was observed on the day after surgery and disappeared spontaneously on radiographs 2 weeks later. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report documenting the occurrence of transient postoperative inferior subluxation of the shoulder in a patient with MG.
L’immagine come orizzonte del trauma. La sfida radicale di Baudrillard
Authors: Canepa Massimo
Published: May 2022

L’intervento punta ad una ricostruzione, seppur parziale, del pensiero dell’ultimo Baudrillard e del rapporto tra la sua teoria dell’immagine e la dimensione traumatica a cui è a vario titolo legata. La prima parte analizza il trauma immaginario che lo costrinse ad una “revisione lacerante” del proprio pensiero tale da spingerlo a cambiare segno ad alcune sue costanti interpretative. La seconda parte definisce la dialettica duale e virale di immagine e ritorno-immagine come orizzonte del trauma originario che ancora persiste: la scena primitiva dell’assenza. La conclusione è un’ideale non-risposta al quesito baudrillardiano per eccellenza: fino a che punto il pensiero può rispondere ad un evento con un’analisi inaccettabile quanto l’evento stesso?
La parola del colpevole. A German Life: il fuori campo della Storia, il controcampo delle immagini
Authors: Farinotti Luisella
Published: May 2022

Il saggio analizza A German Life, film intervista all’ultracentenaria Brunhilde Pomsel, segretaria di Goebbels. Più che alla possibilità di accedere al dietro le quinte di uno dei luoghi chiave del potere nazista, il film è interessato alla marginalità di questa figura, esemplare della responsabilità del popolo tedesco nella catastrofe del Novecento. Il suo lungo racconto appare allora come una confessione, messa alla prova da altre testimonianze documentali – i materiali d’archivio, per lo più filmati di propaganda nazista o film educativi degli Alleati – che funzionano come controcampo delle parole del testimone. Se l’immagine apre al fuori campo di una verità a lungo negata, la natura propagandistica dei materiali sembra rafforzare l’ambigua qualità della testimonianza e svelarne l’opacità. Tra visivo e sonoro, tra parola e immagine, si articola il difficile accesso al trauma, la sua inafferrabilità costitutiva e, insieme, emergono le operazioni di disvelamento e nascondimento messe in atto tanto nel racconto quanto nei filmati. Se la struttura a frammenti del testo sembra replicare la natura frammentaria della memoria e la sua verità lacunosa, il contrasto tra visivo e sonoro, tra parola e immagine, viene rafforzato nelle scelte formali: il film rinuncia alla voce fuori campo e si affida a riprese molto ravvicinate, a primi e primissimi piani che non lasciano vie di fuga allo sguardo. A German Life si colloca in questa tensione tra oggettività del documento e parzialità dichiarata della visione, rivendicando la propria posizione testimoniale.

Published: May 2022

Los aceites esenciales (AE) son metabolitos secundarios producidos por las plantas, mezclas complejas de componentes volátiles, los cuales se forman en el citoplasma de las plantas odoríferas. Son muy numerosos, están distribuidos en las distintas partes de la planta y son extraídos por métodos físicos de las glándulas intercelulares del tejido de las plantas. La presencia mayoritaria de estos compuestos volátiles heterogéneos incide directamente en el tipo de actividad biológica y/o terapéutica que estos extractos podrían poseer. La Lippia alba (L. alba), es un arbusto de la familia verbenácea que produce una variedad de efectos (antioxidante, antimicrobiano, sedante, anestésico, y ansiolítico); que están relacionados con la constitución química de los AE de sus diversos quimiotipos, los cuales, son diferenciados por diversos factores, entre los que se tienen la parte empleada para la extracción y método de extracción utilizado. Este trabajo representa una revisión actualizada de los métodos de extracción del aceite esencial de Lippia alba, entre los que se tienen: hidrodestilación simple (HD), hidrodestilación con trampa de Clevenger, destilación asistida por microondas, destilación por arrastre de vapor, extracción asistida por ultrasonido, extracción por Soxhlet y ﬂuido supercrítico. En conclusión, el método más habitual es la HD con aparato tipo Clevenger, por su bajo costo, buen rendimiento y amigable con el ambiente. Sin embargo, el ﬂujo supercrítico, aunque es más costoso ofrece algunas ventajas, entre ellas, menor tiempo de extracción y mayor rendimiento.

Effect of Vermicompost and Habitat soil on Seedling growth of White Cedar (Dysoxylum Malabaricum Bedd. Ex Hiern): An Endangered Timber species of the Western Ghats
Authors: Gunaga Rajesh , Vasudeva R.
Published: May 2022

Dysoxylum malabaricum (White Cedar) is one of the highly priced timbers yielding species endemic to the Western Ghats. It is highly valued for its lustrous, sweet-scented and durable timber and mainly used for construction of temples. Its wood properties are comparable with that of teak. Populations of D. malabaricum are too scanty and less reported. The species has been subjected to severe illegal felling in the natural forest, hence it has caused concerns among conservation biologists. Recently, Karnataka Forest Department has planned to take up large-scale plantation programme of this species. However, there are no reports related to standardization of nursery techniques for this species. Evaluation of seedlings for their growing media is an important step for nursery rising. The present study was under taken to know the effect of vermicompost and habitat soil on early growth of seedlings in D. malabaricum. Result showed that potting mixtures containing red soil as one of the components of potting mixture recorded maximum seedling height, collar diameter and number of leaves per plant when compared to those potting mixture containing habitat soil. Interestingly, there was a negative influence of vermicompost on seedling growth, where the treatment, containing soil, sand and vermicompost in the proportion of 1:1:1 (T2) showed poor growth as compared to potting mixture containing soil, sand and vermicompost in the ratio of 1:1: ½ (T3). This suggests that use of vermicompost may not always beneficial to the plant growth in Dysoxylum malabaricum.

Introdução: A doença de Alzheimer é a forma mais comum de demência, apresentando uma prevalência estimada em 50 milhões a nível mundial. A insónia é a perturbação do sono mais frequente, sendo que as benzodiazepinas constituem a classe farmacológica mais utilizada no tratamento de alterações do sono. Considerando a tendência crescente da prevalência de insónia, verificou-se, consequentemente, um aumento significativo do uso de hipnóticos. O tratamento crónico com benzodiazepinas associa-se ao desenvolvimento de declínio cognitivo. Objetivo: Avaliar o recurso a benzodiazepinas aquando da presença de insónia, bem como o tempo de duração do tratamento, e a sua associação ao desenvolvimento de demência, nomeadamente doença de Alzheimer. Métodos: Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura até agosto de 2021 através de pesquisa nas bases de dados MEDLINE e EMBASE usando uma combinação de diferentes termos relacionados com doença de Alzheimer, insónia e benzodiazepinas. A revisão foi elaborada de acordo com a metodologia PRISMA-P 2020. A doença de Alzheimer foi o principal outcome avaliado. Resultados: Identificaram-se dois estudos que enquadravam o objetivo da revisão após análise de 840 resumos. Os dois artigos eram estudos de coorte, nomeadamente um estudo retrospetivo e um estudo prospetivo. Os participantes tinham idade igual ou superior a 50 anos e o uso de benzodiazepinas foi superior a um mês. A amostra que realizou tratamento com benzodiazepinas incluía um maior número de pessoas do sexo feminino, apresentava um maior número de comorbilidades, bem como um menor nível socioeconómico e menor nível de escolaridade. Os dois estudos apresentaram resultados contraditórios. No primeiro estudo verificou-se a associação entre o uso de benzodiazepinas e a doença de Alzheimer. No segundo estudo esta relação não se verificou apesar de ter sido demonstrada uma associação significativa entre o uso de benzodiazepinas e o declínio cognitivo sem demência associada. Conclusão: Face ao número reduzido de estudos realizados neste contexto e atendendo à relevância desta temática, conclui-se que é necessária investigação futura de forma a compreender a relação estudada, através da realização de estudos com uma amostra mais abrangente e com um tempo de follow-up mais alargado. Área temática: Clínica médica Formato desejado de apresentação: resumo - apresentação oral PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Alzheimer, Benzodiazepinas, Insónia

A new set of constants based on sixth order polynomials fitting of measured data of sixteen Indian cities has been found to estimate the monthly mean global radiation on a horizontal surface. These constants provide good estimates of monthly mean global radiation on a horizontal surface with a maximum deviation of 8%. A comparison of the present result with the other models shows that the new constants yield more accurate results.

A field experiment was conducted during rabi 2003 to study the effect of elevated levels of CO2 and PAR on intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci), net photosynthetic rate and their interrelationship in maize and safflower at different growth stages. The highest concentration of intercellular CO2 was recorded at 1200 and 1400 hrs and lowest concentration of intercellular CO2 was found during early hours in the morning (08 00 hours) irrespective of levels of CO2 and PAR at all the stages of maize and sunflower. The higher rate of net photosynthetic rate was observed in active vegetative stage (11.7 to 49.1 μmol CO2 cm-2 sec-1) compared to knee high and flowering stages of maize and during late vegetative stage (21.6 to 47.2 μmol CO2 cm-2 sec-1) in safflower compared to early vegetative and flowering stage. The optimum levels of CO2 and PAR for maize were 650μmol CO2 mol-1 and 960 μmol m -2 s-1 respectively and for safflower were 650μmol CO2 mol-1 and 1100 μmol m-2 s-1 respectively. A combination of 650 μmol CO2 mol-1 and 960 μmol m-2 s-1 of PAR for maize and 650 μmol CO2 mol-1 and 1100 μmol m-2 s-1 of PAR for safflower were found optimum levels. A positive correlation between the intercellular CO2 concentration and net photosynthetic rate in maize and safflower was found throughout the crop growth period.

Based on field experiments conducted during 1998 to 2006 in a semi-arid vertisol at Arjia on maize and blackgram crop an attempt was made to assess the effect of rainfall received during June to September and the soil moisture at the times of sowing and harvest on the biological yield. The study was conducted in 3 blocks of maize, blackgram and maize + blackgram by superimposing 9 fertilizer treatments. The soil moisture at sowing and harvest and biological yield attained by treatments differed significantly based on ANOVA in different years. The treatment–wise regression models of yield through rainfall of June to September and soil moisture at sowing and harvest had a predictability of 0.62 to 0.98 in maize block, 0.73 to 0.98 in blackgram block and 0.54 to 0.98 in maize + blackgram block.

The downy mildew constitutes an important group of plant diseases affecting plant species. The data of 10 years (1991-2000) of downy mildew in pearl millet var. HB 3 recorded at the experimental field of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar were taken to develop the regression models for prediction of downy mildew progression in the crop based on weather parameters. Weather data for the same period (maximum, minimum and mean temperature, morning and evening relative humidity, sunshine hours, rainfall, rainy days, wind speed and rate of evaporation) were used for epidemiological study of downy mildew in pearl millet. Disease intensity values were transformed using Logistic, Gompertz, Monomolecular and Von Bertalanffy-Richard disease progression models. Growing degree days and vapour pressure deficit were computed using daily weather data. Disease intensity (%) and transformed values by different models were correlated with weather parameters. Among the disease progression models, disease intensity transformed by Logistic model showed the best association with weather parameters. Mean temperature, wind speed and growing degree day were collectively explained upto 72% variability in downy mildew disease progression.

Published: May 2022

Data pertaining to average infection (%) of karnal bunt disease of wheat and meteorological parameters of 1st to 12th standard meteorological week (1st January to 25th March) for 25 crop seasons (1981-82 to 2004-05) of Karnal station were correlated to study the effect of weather parameters on Karnal bunt disease in wheat for most sensitive crop growth period corresponding to ear emergence and subsequent growth stages. The frequency of disease intensity and weather parameters indicated that when the maximum temperature exceeded normal accompanied by little or poor rainfall during 6 to 8th SMW, the disease intensity was low. Rainfall during the 3rd week of January showed strong relationship indicating favourable role in the formation and further multiplication of secondary spordia. However, during 9th SMW, maximum temperature, relative humidity, rainfall and sunshine duration showed considerably high correlations, whereas remaining parameters had weak correlation coefficients. Meteorological parameters during 6 to 12 SMW satisfactorily explained the occurrence of Karnal bunt disease with R2 values of 0.84 that indicated only 16% variation of disease remained unaccounted.

Mango hopper is the important serious pest of mango in all over parts of Konkan region causing loss to the extent of 60%. The population dynamics of mango hopper for four consecutive years (2005 to 2008) as well as the average population were correlated with the weather parameters like maximum and minimum temperature and afternoon relative humidity. The results revealed that all the three weather parameters viz., maximum temperature (r=-0.525*), minimum temperature (r=-0.561**) and afternoon relative humidity (r=-0.556*) had a significant negative correlation with the average population of mango hopper. Hopper population was started from 42nd Std. Meteorological Week (SMW) and attained peak value during 2nd MW and decreased thereafter upto 9th SMW.
