Published: July 2022

Repellency and insecticidal activities of Thapsia garganica leaf methanolic extract were investigated against Tribolium castaneum, Myzus persicae, Phthorimaea operculella, and Spodoptera littoralis. Repellency and toxic activities (by ingestion and topical application) were evaluated on T. castaneum nymphs and adults. Topical application treatment caused total larval growth inhibition at 10%, until mortality after 7 days. The highest mortality was recorded with 94% at the same concentration. Methanolic extracts incorporation into T. castaneum larvae artificial diet at 10% caused 100% mortality after 3 days. The extract at 1% cause high repellent effect on T. castaneum after 60 min of exposure, while M. persicae was less sensitive. P. operculella female’s showed sensitivity by a repellent effect at oviposition. Egg’s number laid on treated tubers at 1% and 2% decreased significantly to 32% and 72%, respectively. In addition, methanolic extracts had a preventive effect on P. operculella larval penetration. In fact, the number of larvae was reduced by 30.46% and 76.12% in the treated tubers at 1% and 2%, respectively. For S. littoralis, a low antifeeding effect was recorded. However, the relative growth rate (RGR), conversion of ingested and digested food to biomass, were decreased. The approximate digestibility increased. Moreover, a delay in larval development was observed. This study suggests that the leaf extract of T. garganica could be applied as bio-insecticide.

Published: July 2022

La alta prevalencia de desgaste dental erosivo producido por la ingestión frecuente de bebidas gaseosas, se ha convertido en uno de los principales problemas de salud bucal en niños, adolescentes y adultos jóvenes, cuyo tratamiento deviene en desafío para los profesionales de la salud. La investigación se propuso evaluar el efecto erosivo exógeno de las bebidas gaseosas, sobre el tejido dentario mediante el proceso de termociclado in vitro, en el que se sometieron 50 premolares extraídos a la experiencia de exposición a una bebida gaseosa, bajo condiciones de experimentación, resultando una diferencia significativa entre el peso inicial pre termociclado en cada pieza y el peso final obtenido después del proceso, lo cual demuestra el efecto negativo del consumo de bebidas gaseosas. En ese mismo sentido, y como parte de esta investigación, se evaluó los efectos beneficiosos de los probióticos como la L-alanina como suplemento de las bacterias beneficiosas a la salud bucal como el Lactobalilos rhamnosus GG que logran detener el avance de bacterias patógenas y oportunistas como el Streptococcus mutans. Los resultados mostraron que a medida que aumenta la concentración del probiótico, mayor es la disminución del número de unidades formadoras de colonias y de las biopelículas de Streptococcus mutans. Además, la investigación aborda la percepción del riesgo en estudiantes, de ingestión de bebidas gaseosas en la erosión dentaria y los criterios que sobre el tema tienen sus profesores tutores.

Published: July 2022

La exposición a peligros biológicos para la salud y las medidas preventivas implementadas para evitar o minimizar esta exposición, es parcialmente desconocida en Ecuador; particularmente, por los estudiantes de enfermería, los cuales, durante sus prácticas pre-profesionales, están expuestos a factores que pueden afectar negativamente el bienestar en su lugar de trabajo. El riesgo puede ser de origen diversos, físicos, ergonómicos, químicos, psicosociales y biológicos. Entre los biológicos se incluyen pinchazos con agujas, salpicaduras de sangre y otros fluidos corporales, cortes de ampollas de medicamentos, cortes de bisturí, perforación de guantes durante la cirugía, contacto con la sangre de los pacientes con las manos sin guantes y contaminación de heridas abiertas con la sangre de los pacientes. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo establecer la relación entre el cumplimiento de los protocolos y técnicas de enfermería con la exposición accidental a riesgos biológicos en estudiantes. Los resultados demostraron asociación estadísticamente significativa entre las variables en estudios, evidenciándose que, a menor cumplimiento de los protocolos e inexperiencias en las maniobras técnicas de enfermería, mayor era la probabilidad a accidentes por riesgo biológico. Se concluye que el conocimiento de los protocolos de enfermería, la vigilancia sobre la prevención de infecciones, la adherencia a las normas de bioseguridad son algunas de las medidas a seguir para reducir la exposición de los estudiantes de enfermería a los riesgos laborales biológicos. Se recomienda, establecer sistemática para el reporte y abordaje de accidentes por riesgo biológicos que ocurran a los estudiantes de enfermería, durante su proceso formativo.

Unpacking The Concept Of Nationalism Within Russian Eurasianism
Authors: Torosyan Veronika
Published: July 2022

Eurasianism was first developed in the first half of the 20th century among Russian emigrants. It advocated a typology of human civilizations based on cultural uniqueness and claimed the equal importance of all cultures. The issue of nationalism was connected with the understanding of culture in the writings of the Eurasianists. They believed that all the peoples of the former Russian Empire should live together in the same State for ecological and cultural reasons, thus forming a common civilization. This is how the territory of the state was formed (whether it was called the Russian Empire, the USSR or Eurasia), which under any conditions had to maintain its integrity. In the meantime, Eurasianism alternatively saw society as having a “personality” and required special descriptive terms such as “folk personality”, “symphonic personality,” “aggregate personality”, “cultural organism” etc. Thus, the purpose of the article is to analyze the understanding of the concept of nationalism in the works of Russian Eurasianists, based on the definition given by the theorist Anthony Smith as it is fully compatible to demonstrate changes in the understanding of nationalism in their works and to answer the question: how nationalism was defined precisely in Eurasianism? The paper argues that nationalism, as explained in Russian Eurasianism, which encompasses ethnic and civil aspects of the Smith definition and subsequently evolved into the idea of a common civilization, has the potential for being used in multi-ethnic and multicultural society as a unifying instrument.

Trophic guild structure and dietary patterns of a juvenile-dominated demersal fish community in a tropical mangrove estuarine system
Authors: Then Amy Yee-Hui , Chong Ving Ching
Published: July 2022

Community-wide understanding of food web dynamics in species-rich tropical estuaries are generally lacking, exacerbating the challenges of managing these valuable coastal habitats. To address this gap, trophic guilds and dietary patterns were elucidated for 39 species of a juvenile-dominated
demersal estuarine fish community in the Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve, an Important Marine Mammal Area. Fishes were sampled monthly for a year using otter trawl, and stomach contents were analyzed. Of the seven trophic guilds identified from clustering analysis, the three most speciose ones
were shrimp feeders (12 species), zooplanktivores (9), and generalist crustacivores (7). Copepods occurred in diets of 50% of all fish species and were the most important food item volumetrically for specialist zooplanktivores. Diverse shrimp and prawn taxa, including commercially valuable
Acetes and juvenile penaeids, showed highest frequency of occurrence in stomachs and supported the shrimp feeder and crustacivore guilds that contained relatively more diet generalists. Biomass-dominant annelidivore guild members are known to be a vital food resource for highly threatened
coastal cetaceans. Ontogenetic diet shift, wide intra-guild diet breadth, seasonality in major resource use, and prevalence of detritus in diet were feeding strategies that reduced niche overlap and competition among fish species sharing common food resources. Future fisheries management must
consider the bottom-up trophic impacts from excessive removal of valuable prey resources such as shrimps on equally valuable fish consumers that depend on them.

Published: July 2022

This research paper elucidates cross-species transplantation and its impacts on both fact and fiction. This study focuses on the bond between science and literature. In relation to this claim, researchers look into how modern scientific technology influenced Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake. The first novel in the MaddAddam Trilogy is Oryx and Crake. The novel is set on the North American East Coast. Through her novels, Atwood reflects the real-world elements in her fictive world and also warns the present generation about their future. It is present in its adventurous form, which depicts the downfall of the human race. Researchers have utilised the exploratory research method for this study. This article discusses the emergence of both fictional and factual creatures through the method of xenotransplantation, such as Pigoons, Rankunk, Wolvogs, Crakers, Bobkittens, and luminescent rabbits, and it also expresses the similarity between the Covid 19 virus and the JUVE virus. (Glover, 2009) The article "Human/Nature: Ecological philosophy in Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake," written by Jayne Glover, states that, according to the researcher, the actions of Crake and his significant innovations contributed to the collapse of civilization in the world. “One time does it all.

Authors: Pasupuleti Mahesh Babu , Adusumalli Harshini Priya
Published: July 2022

The data from the survey include information on individuals of varied ages and levels of ability. We found that the pattern of access and use was consistent across age groups; however, a higher level of reading and language ability was connected with the utilization of a greater number of devices and interfaces. The ability to capture variation in the ways in which autistic children use commercial technologies influences future learning and helps in the invention of new technologies. There was a correlation found between the stated fear of technology and the amount of time spent using various forms of technology. According to the findings, in order for technologies to be engaging to people, they may need to achieve a high level of design quality. These technologies were developed with therapeutic goals in mind. Children and adolescents who have autism make great use of common forms of technology for a diverse range of recreational pursuits.
Quantum efficiency of aspirin spectra
Authors: Khalik Zaid M Abdul , Saleh Zeyad A , Ali Mazin A.
Published: July 2022

Aspirin, one of the oldest and most widely used anti-inflammatory drugs, has lately been found to lessen the incidence of cancer. The main pharmacological effects of aspirin are thought to be generated by its covalent alteration of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) via acetylation of Ser530. However, the exact biochemical mechanism and specificity of how it works have yet to be figured out. In modern times, there has been a lot of research done on the qualities of spectra for pharmaceuticals (such as fluorescence), and the goal of this research is to display more physicochemical features of molecules. Anthracene is colorless, but when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, it fluoresces blue (with a maximum emission range of 400–450 nm). The ratio of the number of photons that are emitted to the number of photons that are absorbed can be used as a measurement of the quantum yield, which is a measurement of the efficiency of photon emission. The quantum yield ratio is the name given to this particular ratio. In the present work, we studied absorption spectra by spectrophotometer and fluorescence by spectrofluorometer photometer from UV to visible range for aspirin. We found that aspirin fluoresces (max = 370–470 nm) under UV light.

Authors: Dhone Pravin G , Kavita Kavita , Tanaji Shende , Khandelwal P. N
Published: July 2022

The Floating Microsphere of Ofloxacin requires a novel gastroretentive drug delivery system which can provide an extended period of time in stomach and improve oral bioavailability. Floating microspheres were characterized for floating ability, compatibility study, particle size and shape, entrapment efficiency, in-vitro drug release. Due to their low density, these multi particulate drug delivery systems showed good floating ability and remained in gastric environment for more than 24 hrs, required for sustained therapeutic activity. Major advantages of the system include ease of preparation, good floating ability, high encapsulation efficiency and sustained drug release over 24 hours. From this study, it was concluded that formulation of floating microspheres of ofloxacin offers prolonged gastric residence time and continuous release of the medication over an extended period of time thus oral bioavailability of the drug and subsequent efficacy is improved.

Introduction: Speech and language development is an important indicator of a child's overall development and intellectual functioning. There is a large amount of data on the prevalence and risk factors of speech and language delay from the West, but relatively scanty data from India. Language Evaluation Scale Trivandrum (LEST) is a screening tool for use in outpatient clinics and communities for identifying language delay in toddlers. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study of the cross-sectional design was done on 350 children between 0 and 36 months attending outpatient and immunization clinics. A proforma with demographic details of parents, antenatal, and perinatal risk factors were completed. All caregivers were asked for a home screening questionnaire to assess the home environment. Language delay was identified using the LEST scale. The association of language delay with antenatal, perinatal risk factors, socioeconomic status, and home environment were analyzed. Results: The prevalence of language delay was 7%. No association was found between language delay and type of family, place of residence, antenatal complications, perinatal complications, gestational age, birth weight, and socioeconomic status. A negative home environment and second birth order were significantly associated with language delay.

The call of the wild is a novel about one’ s mastery in wilderness. A domestic male dog which become a sled dog and reach it’   s mastery through the instinct of his ancestral wilderness. What are the difficulties he is going through his journey is the entire story. He did not find himself adapting to each difficult situation, but understood it and acted accordingly. The author mainly speaks about the survival, pride, transformation, trust, violence, mastery. We all know how to live our lives, but we cannot accept difficult situations. Here the author speaks about the survival of the fittest, Darwinian theory. We, the readers of Charles Darwin, are subjectively aware of the concept of human evolution and natural selection for the survival of the fittest. We can see Darwinism and Nietzscheism in his novel “ The call of the wild”    . Author says that one who is adopting every circumstances and acted accordingly will be the master on his field. The protagonist male sled dog points out that every human being in the universe must remember the power of their ancestors.

deBackground:The purpose of our study was to investigate short-term outcomes of two-stage reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) with an antibiotic-loaded cement spacer for shoulder infection.Methods: Eleven patients with shoulder infection were treated by two-stage RTSA following temporary antibiotic-loaded cement spacer. Of the 11 shoulders, nine had pyogenic arthritis combined with complex conditions such as recurrent infection, extensive osteomyelitis, osteoarthritis, or massive rotator cuff tear and two had periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The mean follow-up period was 29.9 months (range, 12–48 months) after RTSA. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) score for pain, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, subjective shoulder value (SSV), and serial plain radiographs.Results: The mean time from antibiotic-loaded cement spacer to RTSA was 9.2 months (range, 1–35 months). All patients had no clinical and radiographic signs of recurrent infection at final follow-up. The mean final VAS score, ASES score, and SSV were significantly improved from 4.5, 38.6, and 29.1% before RTSA to 1.7, 75.1, and 75.9% at final follow-up, respectively. The mean forward flexion, abduction, external rotation, and internal rotation were improved from 50.0°, 50.9°, 17.7°, and sacrum level before RTSA to 127.3°, 110.0°, 51.8°, and L2 level at final follow-up, respectively.Conclusions: Two-stage RTSA with antibiotic-loaded cement spacer yields satisfactory short-term clinical and radiographic outcomes. In patients with pyogenic arthritis combined with complex conditions or PJI, two-stage RTSA with an antibiotic-loaded cement spacer would be a successful approach to eradicate infection and to improve function with pain relief.
