Authors: Pallathadka Harikumar , Pallathadka Laxmi Kirana , Devi Shoraisam Kiranbhala
Published: November 2022

Social networking sites are technological platforms that facilitate the advent and sharing of emotions, interests, information, ideas, and various types of expressions in the virtual world of groups, communities, or networks. Youth are the most significant patrons of social media. They are so fascinated by social media that they cannot reduce or limit their intake of online media. Youth dependency on social media (like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and WhatsApp) is characterized by the aggregate of an immoderate media intake and a growing trust in social media to sense good and an incapability to forestall or cut down. Addiction to social media has positive uses also, like making consumers globalize, presenting real-time communication, etc. This paper aims to understand the addiction to social media amongst youth. It additionally describes the signs and symptoms of dependency on social media. Also, understand the behavioral association between social media dependency and mental fitness or the overall instructional performance of youth. A sample of 133 respondents was collected through a "standard questionnaire," which was created on a five-point interval scale.
Disclosure Writing with the Use of Manipulating Writing Instructions: A Disclosure Writing Study
Authors: Lewis Ashlei , Noguchi Kenji
Published: November 2022

It is well known that writing about traumatic life events has both physical and psychological long term benefits. James Pennebaker and his colleagues (Pennebaker, Mayne, & Francis, 1997; Pennebaker & Seagal, 1999) suggested that both negative and positive disclosure writing instructions could be useful in understanding positive life events, not only the negative life events. The purpose of this study is to experimentally investigate the order in which participants write about their positive or negative perspectives of life events through an expressive writing paradigm and manipulate the order of instructions that includes negative-only expression, negative to positive expression, positive negative expression, and neutral writing expression. It is hypothesized that writing about negative events then positive events could allow for a greater increase in positive affect, in contrast to writing about strictly negative events or strictly positive events. Once individuals have written about a negative topic then a positive topic, it could help make individuals gain an understanding about a negative event and view positive events with great meaning, without allowing for rumination and negative mood. Undergraduate students were instructed to complete a writing task for fifteen minutes for two days. Follow up evaluations were administered two weeks after the second writing task, asking participants to rate their meaning in life, their health and wellbeing, and positive and negative effectiveness (PANAS). This experiment could determine that the order in which participants write could change the writing paradigm from the completely separating life experiences into strictly negative expression and strictly positive expression. In conclusion, results showed that writing about negative and positive events created further benefits of writing allowing individuals to put negative events in perspective while focusing on the presence of positive life events.

Authors: Adila Solida  , Andy Amir  , Dwi Noerjoedianto
Published: November 2022

Losses experienced by BPJS Health due to payment of contributions that have been stopped for participants who have used maternity services of more than 200 billion in a span of 2 years. It was recorded that 64.7% of mothers who were about to give birth registered as participants a month before giving birth and then quit (43%) or did not comply with the payment after delivery. The largest percentage comes from independent participants or non-wage recipients (PBPU). In Jambi Province, non-compliance in paying BPJS Health contributions is the highest in Jambi City. There were 77,489 participants in arrears in 2021 which resulted in a loss of 60.1 billion. Non-compliance in paying dues comes from multiple factors. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors causing the non-compliance of independent participants in paying BPJS Health contributions after utilizing childbirth services in Jambi City. A quantitative study approach with a cross-sectional design conducted in Jambi City in 2022. There were 96 respondents who were selected based on the accidental sampling technique. The study instrument was a questionnaire. Quantitative data processing through the stages of editing, coding, entry and cleaning with SPSS. Data analysis consisted of univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using chi-square test. The results of the study found that as many as 33.3% of independent participants did not comply in paying BPJS Health contributions after using childbirth services. There is a significant relationship between the number of family members (p = 0.001), knowledge (0.000), perception of illness (p = 0.001), clinical assessment (p = 0.000), and willingness to pay (WTP) with the non-compliance of independent participants in paying BPJS Health contributions. after the use of maternity services. It is recommended for BPJS Health to consider the application of the waiting period method for participants who will take advantage of maternity services. As well as increasing promotive activities for the Jambi City Government in educating and increasing public awareness about the importance of health insurance in protecting household financing.
Satellite-framed lexicalization of creation events in French?
Authors: Schirakowski Barbara
Published: November 2022

As a typical verb-framed language, French has only limited ability to combine manner verbs with result-denoting constituents in the VP. Based on an event structural approach, this contribution explores the compatibility of different types of manner verbs with two syntactic means of lexicalizing the product/result of a creation event, namely effected objects and resultative PPs headed by en. Data from two acceptability judgment tasks show the following findings: 1) Manner verbs that do not allow for an effected object canonically can still be coerced into a creation reading as long as no general constraint is violated. 2) Resultative PPs prove as acceptable across verb classes, but acceptability is shown to vary based on the internal makeup of the PP, which embeds either a bare noun or a full DP. Verbs that allow for an effected object are judged as well-formed with PPs of both types, whereas verbs not selecting an effected object are only fully acceptable when a bare noun is embedded in the PP. Creation event lexicalizations that can be regarded as satellite-framed are, thus, not only subject to general structural constraints, but also to more subtle and verb‑specific restrictions.
Non-Maximal Definites in Romance
Authors: Gerards David Paul , Stark Elisabeth
Published: November 2022

Mainly based on data from Old Spanish and Modern Francoprovençal, this paper discusses a hitherto underresearched use of the Romance definite article that cannot straightforwardly be explained by recurring to any of the standard analyses of semantic definiteness, i.e., maximality and/or familiarity. We show that such weakly referential definites are definites with representative object interpretations licensed by the kind-oriented mode of talk and not short weak definites. They denote inherently non-specific, semantically number neutral regular objects whose only co(n)textual relevance is their being typical instantiations of their corresponding kind. Representative object definites are shown to be favored by ‘habitual’ readings of the predicate (and text genres like recipes, treatises, narratives about what people used to do in former times, etc.). In Francoprovençal, this is the case especially in the scope of non-perfective verb tenses in prepositional or presentational complements and sometimes in direct objects. In Old Spanish, non-maximal definites often occur in the scope of non-assertive mood (imperative/subjunctive, due to the genre of recipes), while, at the same time, introducing important discourse referents. In addition, in the latter language such definites are demonstrated to be positively susceptible to priming by preceding non-maximal definites.

Published: November 2022

In this paper we present some interesting concepts and aspects about the effects suffered by a particle immersed in a gravitational field caused by a black hole. First, we explain how the gravitational field is defined in the conception of Newtonian Universal Gravitation. We give a quick introduction to the concepts of geodesics and curvature of space-time, then seek to explore the first exact solution of the Einstein Equations for black holes, and its consequences on space-time. To do this, we present the concepts, and illustrate them with simple calculations that allow for better clarity of the concepts.
Resolución de ecuaciones trascendentes de la física mediante el método de Chebyshev
Authors: Marqués Villarroya David
Published: November 2022

In this work, physics teachers are provided with an optimized method to solve transcendental equations that cannot be solved algebraically and appear very often in higher education physics and engineering courses. The method is based on an interpolation with Chebyshev’s polynomials, and it is optimized for computational time, manageability, and accuracy. The method has been applied in specific problems of physics where transcendental equations appear, such as the compression of a real spring; the equation of a diode; the solution of the Schrödinger equation in a potential well; and the computing of cutoff wave numbers of a coaxial wire. The method is compared with others of the literature to check its correct behavior and the improvements that it presents. MATLAB source codes to implement the method and particular examples are also provided.
Enseñar física en la universidad en tiempos de pandemia: desafíos y aprendizajes
Authors: Terzzoli María Cristina , Badagnani Daniel , Gel Matias
Published: November 2022

This article recounts our experience adapting the Physics lecturing to virtual modality at Instituto de Ciencias Polares, Universidad Nacional de Tierra del Fuego (Argentina) due to the covid-19 pandemics in the years 2020 and 2021. Our goal was preserving the essence of the in-person modality: interactive engagement focusing on group work and debates, so virtuality posed a significant challenge. To face it, we assembled an interdisciplinary team and the agile methodology was adopted, complementing our usual implementation of systematic innovation. We suggest that from combining the in-person modality with tools acquired during confinement a more robust Physics course will arise, with a far more consistent formative evaluation scheme.

This study aims to reveal how each dimension of the ethical work climate is perceived by account officers working in rural banks. Empirical testing for this research model is based on the premise of which dimensions of the ethical work climate most encourage account officers' sense of duty on the job. Based on the theory and previous empirical results, this research focuses on how each dimension of ethical work climate can affect the felt obligation of account officers. Quantitative methods were used in this study with data analysis techniques using multiple regression analysis. A total of 64 account officers who work in rural banks in Mengwi District, Badung Regency Bali, were the respondents in this study. The findings in this study reveal that two of the four dimensions of ethical climate have a significant effect on felt obligation. As one of important dimension of ethical climate, caring founded with the largest value on felt obligation compared to independence. Meanwhile, two other aspects (law & rules and instrumental) were found to have no significant effect on the felt obligation of account officers. The moderate level of model summary can indicate opportunities for further exploratory studies in future research.

Published: November 2022

Prevalence and risk factors associated with gastrointestinal parasites in dogs from central coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh, India was estimated by coprological examination. On examination of faecal samples of 1,907 dogs by saturated zinc sulphate floatation, sedimentation technique and modified Ziehl-Nielsen staining, an overall prevalence of 52.2% was observed. Single species infections were more common (49.7%) than mixed infections (2.5%). A total of 11 different species were detected. The most prevalent species was Ancylostoma canis followed by Toxocara canis, Cystoisospora ohioensis, Dipylidium caninum, Toxascaris leonina, Capillaria aerophila, Diphyllobothrium latum, Cystoisospora canis, Entamoeba spp., Trichuris vulpis and Cryptosporidium spp. The overall prevalence was high in stray dogs (65.9%). The prevalence of A. caninum (31.6%) was significant in pet dogs. Significant relationship between the season and prevalence of parasites was observed, the infection being more prevalent during rainy season. Binary logistic regression analysis identified age, season and the living condition of dogs and lack of zoonotic awareness of owners as risk factors for different parasitic infection.

Published: November 2022

The present study aimed at assessing the status of the Meghalaya buffalo population from North-East India employing cytogenetic studies. So far buffaloes of the northeastern states of India have been studied except for Tripura and Meghalaya and are generally considered to be of swamp type based on their phenotypic resemblance to swamp type buffaloes. A pilot survey was conducted in the Indian State of Meghalaya for collection of morphometric data from adult animals. The Meghalaya buffaloes investigated cytogenetically possessed a somatic chromosome count of 2N=48, identical to that of typical swamp buffalo, 23 pairs of autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes. The distinctive karyotypic feature of swamp buffalo observed was due to the distinct size of the fourth pair of metacentric chromosome. No morphological or chromosomal abnormality was observed in any of the populations. This is the first confirmed documentation of existence of pure swamp type buffaloes in Meghalaya state of India.

Nicobari pig is semi-feral, reared in free-range system with very low level of management. However, its population has been significantly reduced due to and after Tsunami in 2004. No systematic study has been conducted to explore the production potential of Nicobari pig. Therefore, a systematic comparison study was conducted between intensive and free-range system on growth and reproductive parameters in ICAR-CIARI, Port Blair. Reproductive parameters like age at first mating in male and age at first oestrus, oestrus cycle duration, oestrous duration, age at first mating, age at first farrowing, farrowing interval, litter size at farrowing and weaning, litter weight, still birth and mortality were recorded. Growth parameters like body weight at birth, at weaning and at months 3, 6 and 9 were recorded. Results revealed that significantly higher body weights at months 3, 6, 9 and 12 were recorded under intensive than in free-range system in male and female pigs and in male than in female. Non-significant differences was observed in the reproductive parameters in pigs between the two systems except parameters like oestrous cycle duration was higher and age at first mating, stillbirth and mortality were lower significantly in pigs under intensive system than in free range system. It was concluded that growth and reproductive performances of Nicobari pigs reared under intensive system has significantly higher beneficial than in free-range system.

Published: November 2022

The polynomial model and wood model have been extensively applied to predict the milk yield of cows, which aims to measure and partially explain the uncertainty under single factor condition. However, different sample data would affect the goodness of fit of the models. To investigate the milk yield regularities of the Chinese Holstein cows in Yunnan Standardized Pasture (YSP), data of cows with 1–3 parities using different observation periods were derived from the 401,497 records of 1,826 cows collected from YSP, and fitted in the BP neural network (BPNN) model, the Quadrinomial model and the Wood model. Prediction results of three models were compared. The results show that, for group data (mean), the Quadrinomial model was likely to over-fit under the single factor condition with small sample data, while the Wood model had a better goodness of fit; the BPNN model was more suitable for multi-factor and large sample data analysis.

Published: November 2022

Dairy farming is one of the choice options for business startups among budding entrepreneurs and progressive farmers in the valley. However, the apprehensions of profitability as well the size of cow unit (CU) to begin with, do exist in their minds. Keeping this in view, a study was planned with an objective of analyzing the economics of milk production viz-a-viz various cow-unit sizes in Srinagar. The study was carried out zone-wise as well as cow unit wise to assess the viability of dairying in the district and to find out the profitable size of the cow unit respectively. A total of 616 farmers were included in the study. It was found that dairy farming was a profitable venture in Srinagar District with Net Returns per litre of milk being ₹ 3 on an average. However, profitability seemed to be dependent on the size of the cow-unit as well with Net returns per litre of milk being ₹ –1.98, ₹ 2.90, ₹ 12.77 and ₹ 16.02 in CU 1, CU 2–4, CU 5–9 and CU above 10 respectively. This clearly indicates that a dairy venture can be started with a CU 2–4 at the beginning to gain experience, which can be later expanded to a CU 5–9 and eventually to CU more than 10 up to a suitable and sustainable level depending upon farmer’s individual situation.

The present investigation was carried out with the aim to find out the beneficial effects of edible coating on postharvest quality of summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) under cold storage condition. In our experiments, different edible coatings, viz. gum arabic (5, 10 and 15%) and fruwash were used in order to minimize the excessive moisture loss during postharvest handling and storage. Among the treatments, gum arabic (10%) coating showed better colour retention in terms of Lvalue followed by fruwash treatment. Fruits coated with 10% gum arabic found best for minimizing water loss (more than 50%), respiration rate (â‰ˆ21%) with higher fruit firmness (7.55 N) as compared with other treatments including control. After 12 days of storage, malondialdehyde content in 10% gum arabic treated fruits (0.141 nmol/g) was recorded significantly lower than control (0.183 nmol/g fruit weight). Highest proline content (235.05 Î¼g/g fruit weight) was recorded in 10% gum arabic while, it was lowest (140.06 Î¼g/g fruit weight) in control. Proline content was â‰ˆ68% higher in 10% concentration and â‰ˆ30% in 15% gum arabic treated fruit as compared with control after 12th days of storage. Overall 10% gum arabic coated summer squash fruits had better postharvest quality retention characteristics.

Published: November 2022

The seaweed, Ascophyullum nodosum is the focus of the research these days and is looked upon as an important alternative bio-fertilizer. For this purpose the interaction of the seaweed with different plants including legumes is important to understand. We previously noticed lesser pigmented nodules in legume plant Vigna aconitifolia, when grown in presence of A. nodosum Extract (ANE). We therefore studied the effect of the ANE on the tyrosinase inhibition activity, an enzyme known to produce melanin pigment. In addition, the effect of the treatment of ANE on the photosynthetic pigments was also recorded. The seeds of Vigna aconitifolia were treated with 0%, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.50% and 1.0% of A. nodosum extract for different time periods from 0â€“24 hours. It was observed that with the increased exposure to the seaweed (ANE), the tyrosinase inhibition activity also increased up to 0.05% of the seaweed concentration at 24 h of soaking and decreased after increasing the concentration of ANE from 0.1â€“1.0% at the same time period. Seed treatment with 0.05% seaweed was found to be the most effective concentration showing highest tyrosinase inhibition.

Pollution is increasing at an alarming rate, especially in cities. The pollution may be air pollution (outdoor or indoor), noise pollution, water pollution or soil pollution which directly affects human health as well as work efficiency. In order to reduce air pollution indoor or outdoor, there is a great demand of potted plants. Plants helps in reducing carbon dioxide, benzene and nitrogen dioxide levels, and also increase humidity and keep the temperature down. India is bestowed with different agro climatic conditions and evaluation of potted plants for their suitability for different agro climatic zones has not been done. Most foliage plants are tropical in nature and the movement of these plants to subtropical regions will affect their growth. Therefore, the present investigation was carried out during 2014â€“16 at Division of Floriculture and Landscaping, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to identify the plant species suitable for Delhi and Northern plains. For this purpose twelve species/varieties of different potted plants were used.The potted plants were kept under two conditionsâ€”glasshouse and open for the evaluation of growth and development. Based on different morphological traits like plant height, spread, number of branches, leaves and biomass, it was observed that plants like song of India, Philodendron xanadu, money plant, Syngonium, Aglaonema, Cardboard palm and Crotons were suitable for indoor conditions while Dragon tree, Areca palm, Cordyline and Araucaria were suitable for outdoor conditions. However, China palm was found bestfor both indoor and outdoor conditions under Northern plains.

Published: November 2022

A long-term field experiment on conservation agriculture (CA) was initiated in sandy loam soil of Indo-Gangetic plain in 2008 at Research Farm of ICAR-IARI, New Delhi with 3 tillage practices, i.e. permanent bed (PB), zero-tillage (ZT) and conventional tillage (CT) in main plots and four maize-based cropping systems, i.e. maize-wheat-mungbean (MWMb), maize-chickpea-sesbania (MCS), maize-mustard-mungbean (MMuMb), maize-maize-sesbania (MMS) in sub-plots, in a split- plot design with three replications to evaluate the long-term effects of CA practices on maize yield and soil fertility under maize-based cropping systems. The current study was undertaken in kharif maize 2015 after completion of seven years of experimentation. Soil fertility parameters like mineral nitrogen (N) (NO3 â€“ and NH4 +), available phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulphur (S) and micronutrients (Zn, Fe, Mn, Cu) were determined from 0â€“5, 5â€“15 and 15â€“30 cm of soil depths. The available macronutrients (N, P, K and S) and micronutrients (Zn, Fe, Mn, Cu) were higher under PB and ZT compared with CT. Among the cropping systems, MCS and MWMb performed equally in relation to nutrient availability. The grain yield of maize was significantly higher under PB (5.55 t/ha) and ZT (5.49 t/ha) as compared to CT (4.81 t/ha), whereas MCS and MWMb performed better in term of maize productivity as compared with MMuMb and MMS. Thus, the long-term study suggested that ZT and PB under diversified cropping systems such as MWMb and MCS could be the best agricultural practices for sustainable production as well as nutrient availability in maize-based cropping systems.

Farmerâ€™ Participatory On Farm Trials (FP-OFT) were conducted at 10 different locations in Raisen district of Madhya Pradesh during two consecutive years of kharif 2015â€“16 in medium black soils to study the influence of soil test crop response (STCR) approach vis-a-vis farmersâ€™ practice on productivity and economics of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. Result revealed that targeted seed yield of soybean (1500 kg/ha) was achieved by adoption of STCR approach. The mean percentages of increase in grain and Stover yields of soybean under STCR were 46.7% and 46.9%, respectively over the farmersâ€™ practice (FP). The plant height, number of root nodules, pods/plant and test weight of seed increased by 11.5%, 11.1%, 29.1% and 24.0%, respectively over the farmersâ€™ practice. There was much larger negative balance in available nitrogen and available potassium levels under farmersâ€™ practice compared to STCR. The economic parameters of crop i.e. gross return, net returns and benefit-cost ratio (BCR) under the STCR approach were between ` 34100â€“38662.5/ ha, ` 16566â€“21462/ ha and ` 0.89â€“1.60 which were higher as compared to farmersâ€™ practice across the locations. STCR approach must be adopted by the farmers for higher crop productivity, profitability and soil nutrient balance.

Medya (dış) politika yapım sürecinde stratejik aktör olarak yer almaktadır. Dış politika alanında gündem medya aracılığıyla oluşturulmakta, medya, kamuoyu ve dış politika ilişkilerinin bütünleştirici bir modelini sunmaktadır. Medya ön plana çıkarmak istediği konular hakkında baskın bir çerçeve çizmekte ve hangi argümanların savunulacağını, kamuoyu algısının nasıl şekilleneceğini belirleyebilmektedir. Çerçeveleme olayların medya tarafından anlamlandırma şeklini ifade etmektedir. Bu makale ABD ve müttefik kuvvetlerinin Ağustos 2021’de Afganistan’dan geri çekilmesinin ve Taliban’ın Kabil’e girişinin Türk ve Kırgız medyası tarafından nasıl ele alındığını incelemeyi hedeflemektedir. Robinson’un (2001) medya-politika etkileşim modelini esas alan çalışmada medyadaki baskın çerçevelerin neler olduğunu ve medyanın yaklaşımının ne olduğunu belirlemek amacıyla seçilen dört internet haber sitesindeki (Kırgızistan’dan azattyk.org ve super.kg, Türkiye’den sabah.com.tr, sözcü.com.tr) konuya ilişkin haberler içerik analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilmektedir. Amerika’nın geri çekilmesi ve Taliban’ın 20 yıl sonra yönetimi yeniden ele geçirmesi Afganistan’da iç savaş, terör ve kitlesel göçlerin artacağı yönündeki endişeleri uluslararası boyutta artırmakta, uluslararası toplum ve bölge ülkeleri gelişmeyi politik bir sorun olarak tartışmaktadır. Elde edilen bulgular analiz kapsamına alınan gazetelerdeki baskın çerçevelerin Taliban/Talibanlaşma tehdidi yönünde olduğunu ve istikrarsızlığın giderek arttığı senaryoda hükümetin resmi politikası ekseninde politika belirsizliğine yoğun olarak dikkat çekildiğini ortaya koymaktadır.
Tizenöt démon, avagy egy kutatás története : Bethlenfalvy Géza és Csongrádi Jenő emlékére
Authors: Kelényi Béla
Published: November 2022

Jelen tanulmány a gyermekbetegségeket okozó tizenöt nagy démont (t. byis pa’i gdon chen bco lnga) ábrázoló, a velük kapcsolatos elhárító szertartásoknál (t. mdos) alkalmazott képecskék (t. tsak li) kutatásának történetén keresztül mutat be három, különböző gyűjteményekből származó, eddig publikálatlan képsorozatot. A képeknek nemcsak egy háttérként értelmezett szöveggel, hanem egymással való összevetésük is fontos adalékokra hívja fel a figyelmet. Egyrészt arra, hogy a szertartási szövegek általában nem adják meg az egyes démonokat ábrázoló képek elhelyezési irányát a szertartás során, másrészt arra is, hogy ehhez még a képecskék feliratai sem mindig adnak segítséget. Egymással való összevetésük során az is kiderül, hogy a szövegekben és a különböző képsorozatokon ezek az irányok a legtöbb esetben meg sem egyeznek egymással. Mindez azt jelzi, hogy gyermekbetegségeket okozó tizenöt démon ábrázolásait és rituális felhasználásukat több, egymástól esetenként valamilyen értelemben eltérő szöveg alapján alakították ki, és használták fel. Az is feltételezhető, hogy ezek az eltérések a különböző betegségekkel kapcsolatos szertartási gyakorlatból adódnak. Arra pedig végképp nem utal semmi, hogy a képeken több esetben ábrázolt, a betegségeket elhárító mágikus pecsétek (t. phyag rgya) jelei miért térnek el majdnem minden esetben egymástól.

This work aims to research the socioeconomic profile of the families of patients with Down Syndrome (DS) at the Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Excepcionais de Juazeiro do Norte (APAE-JN) and relate it to their respective degrees of neurological development. The population consists of 80 patients. The research will consist of home visits, application of a questionnaire and an interview with the participation of the patients' parents. To draw the profile, data collected during the interview and application of the questionnaire will be used, adapting the social indicators of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics - IBGE, the Brazilian Economic Classification Criterion, and those of the Pan-American Health Organization - PAHO. The results will show the profile of those affected by DS and this will be correlated to the hypothesis that the variation in socioeconomic level alters the NPMD curve of the person with DS. The study was conducted in three stages; the first was qualitative and was based on secondary data aiming to identify educational policies directed to the rural reality, as well as to select the municipalities that fit the profile defined as rural municipalities; the second corresponds to the compilation and organization of the databases; and the third stage, predominantly quantitative, refers to the analysis of the databases by means of descriptive statistics and difference of means (ANOVA, T Test, Bonferroni Test).

Context: COVID-19 was caused by the spread and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 at the end of 2019 until now. The problem comes when antiviral drugs have not yet been found and patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 can trigger a cytokine storm condition due to the effects of viral replication. Indonesia has various kinds of medicinal plants, such as Sonchus arvensis L., which are used as medicinal plants. Aims: To analyze the activity of the inhibitor as SARS-CoV-2 antiviral agents from n-hexane fractions of S. arvensis leaves. Methods: The sample was collected from GC-MS analysis, PubChem, and Protein Databank database, then drug-likeness identification using Lipinski Rule of Five server and bioactive prediction of bioactive compounds as inhibitor activity was conducted by Molinspiration server. Furthermore, the docking simulation was performed using PyRx 0.9.9 software to determine the binding activity, molecular interaction by Discovery Studio software to identify position and interaction type, 3D molecular visualization by PyMol 2.5. software, and dynamic by CABS-flex 2.0 server to predict interaction stability. Results: α-Amyrin and β-amyrin from n-hexane fractions of S. arvensis leaves had activity as SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors through interactions on helicase, RdRp, Mpro, and RBD-Spike, both compounds had more negative binding affinity than control drug and can produce stable chemical bond interactions in the ligand-protein complexes. However, the results were merely computational, so they must be validated through an in vivo and in vitro research approach. Conclusions: Sonchus arvensis L. leaves were predicted to have SARS-CoV-2 antiviral through inhibitor activity by α-amyrin and β-amyrin.

Authors: Pan Xi , Qiu Jian , Yang Zhong
Published: November 2022

The feasibility of using a portable near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer combined with partial least squares for discrimination analysis (PLS-DA) to identify five similar Cinnamomum wood species was investigated. To improve model reliability and identification accuracy, the effects of three main spectra preprocessing methods and their combinations were examined. Then, the model performance created by spectra collected before and after specimen surface sanding were compared. In the PLS-DA model based on spectra preprocessed by standard normal variate (SNV) and first derivative combined, the identification accuracy of the five species was above 95%, and the compared results demonstrated the surface natural change influences the NIR model performance. It was shown that a portable NIR device combined with PLS-DA can be used to rapidly and accurately identify five similar Cinnamomum wood species.
