Phytochemical Phytochemical Compounds and Antihyperglycemic Activities from Beverage Composed Pluchea indica Less-Black Tea-Honey
Authors: Widyawati Paini Sri , Frebriana Liza
Published: July 2023

Pluchea indica Less has been developed into tea bag because it contains a number of phytochemical compounds, such as lignin, terpenes, benzoids, phenylpropanoids, alkanes, saponins, catechins, alkaloids, tannins, sterols, phenolhydroquinones, and flavonoids, which have been shown to have several biological activities, such as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anticholesterol, and antihyperglycemic. In its development, pluchea tea can be combined with black tea to produce certain functional values. Consumption of pluchea-black tea in daily life can be done with the addition of lemon or honey to increase antihyperglycemic activity. However, this study focused on determining the profile of phytochemical compounds and antihyperglycemic activity of pluchea-black tea honey drink. The research design used was a Randomized Block Design (RAK) with one factor including honey concentration consisting of six treatment levels: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% (v/v). Each treatment was repeated four times. Parameters carried out are the profile of phytochemical compounds and antihyperglycemic activity through in vitro analysis, namely the activity of inhibiting a-amylase and a-glucosidase enzymes. The results showed that the use of honey in the manufacture of pluchea-black tea had an effect on the profile of phytochemical compounds and antihyperglycemic activity. The use of honey with a concentration of 5% produced the highest antihyperglycemic activity, 73.21±3.57% for the ability to inhibit the alpha-amylase enzyme and 77.27±5.25% for the ability to inhibit the alpha-glucosidase enzyme, respectively
LIGHTWEIGHT CRYPTOGRAPHY METHOD IN THE INTERNET OF THINGS USING ELLIPTIC CURVE AND CROW SEARCH ALGORITHM
Authors: Saffer Arkan A. , Pasha Soran A. , Aliakbar Ammar M.
Published: July 2023

The Internet of Things (IoT) as an important technology consists of a heterogeneous and huge number of devices that generates an enormous amount of data in various applications. However, generating and transmitting huge amount of data in the IoT makes it crucial to implement a secure and safe data transmission scheme. Cryptography methods can secure the confidentiality, data integrity, access control, and authentication. Due to constrained resources in IoT devices, providing classical cryptography schemes isn’t efficient for IoT applications, so a lightweight cryptography scheme is one of the most important solutions to overcome security challenges in IoT. In this paper, a new security scheme called ECCCSASHA256 based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-256) using Crow Search Algorithm (CSA) has been proposed for secure data transmission in IoT devices. The ECCCSASHA256 model uses the CSA for generating a private key to encode the elliptic curve. Furthermore, the proposed scheme uses SHA-256 model for hashing the incoming encoded data using ECC. The simulation results indicate that the average throughput of the proposed model was about 8.22% and 8.97% higher in encryption and 8.72% and 9.81% higher in decryption compared to 3DES&ECC&SHA-256 and RC4&ECC&SHA-256, respectively.

In this paper, we study the problem of expressibility of all functions x1(t), x2(t), . . . , xn(t) included in a given homogeneous system of linear differential equations with constant coefficients x′(t) = A·x(t), in the form of linear combinations of derivatives of only one unknown function xk(t) included in this system. A simple criterion is found for the expressibility of all functions of the system x′(t) = A·x(t), in the form of linear combinations of derivatives xk(t), and its correctness is proved. Based on the proven criterion, an appropriate algorithm was developed and its correctness was substantiated.
A Review of Emerging Photo-Induced Degradation Methods for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Water
Authors: Ali Zulfikhar , Yamijala Sharma , Wong Bryan
Published: July 2023

The remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water continues to garner significant attention due to their environmental persistence and adverse health effects. Among the various PFAS remediation methods, photo-induced approaches have recently emerged as promising techniques for the degradation of these persistent contaminants. However, many questions remain unanswered regarding the detailed mechanisms in these photo-induced methods as well as the best ways to leverage these approaches for PFAS degradation. In this review, we provide an update on recent experimental and theoretical developments in photo-induced PFAS degradation techniques over the past 2 - 5 years. We conclude with a perspective of promising research directions in this vibrant area and give recommendations on future experimental and computational approaches needed to further advance these photo-induced remediation capabilities.
Control of photoswitching kinetics with strong light-matter coupling in a cavity
Authors: Zeng Hongfei , Liu Pufan , Eckdahl Christopher , Pérez-Sánchez Juan , Chang Woo Je , Weiss Emily , Kalow Julia , Yuen-Zhou Joel , Stern Nathaniel
Published: July 2023

Most photochemistry occurs in the regime of weak light-matter coupling, in which a molecule absorbs a photon and then performs pho-tochemistry from its excited state. In the strong coupling regime, enhanced light-matter interactions between an optical field and multiple molecules lead to collective hybrid light-matter states called polaritons. This strong coupling leads to fundamental changes in the nature of the excited states including multi-molecule delocalized excitations, modified potential energy surfaces, and dramatically altered energy levels relative to non-coupled molecules. The effect of strong light-matter coupling on covalent photochemistry has not been well ex-plored. Photoswitches undergo reversible intramolecular photoreactions that can be readily monitored spectroscopically. In this work, we study the effect of strong-light matter coupling on the kinetics of photoswitching within optical cavities. Reproducing prior experiments, photoswitching of spiropyran/merocyanine photoswitches is decelerated in a cavity. Fulgide photoswitches, however, show the opposite effect, with strong coupling accelerating photoswitching. While modified merocyanine switching can be explained by changes in radiative decay rates or the amount of light in the cavity, modified fulgide switching kinetics suggest direct changes to excited-state reaction kinetics.
Deaminative ring contraction for the synthesis of polycyclic heteroaromatics: a concise total synthesis of toddaquinoline
Authors: Kirkeby Emily , Schwartz Zachary , Lovasz Myles , Roberts Andrew
Published: July 2023

A concise strategy to prepare polycyclic heteroaromatics involving a deaminative contraction cascade is detailed. The efficient deaminative ring contraction involves the in situ methylation of a biaryl-linked dihydroazepine to form a cyclic ammonium cation that undergoes a base-induced [1,2]-Stevens rearrangement/dehydroamination sequence. The presence of pseudosymmetry guides the retrosynthetic analysis of pyridyl-containing polycyclic heteroaromatics, enabling their construction by the reductive cyclization and deaminative contraction of tertiary amine precursors.
Deciphering the Interplay Between Local and Global Dynamics of Anodic Metal Dissolution
Authors: Makogon Aleksei , Noël Jean-Marc , Kanoufi Frédéric , SHKIRSKIY Viacheslav
Published: July 2023

The stark difference between global and local metal dissolution dynamics underscores the need for methodologies capable of performing precise sub-µm-scale and wide-field measurements. In this study, we present Reflective Microscopy (RM) as a tool developed to address this challenge, illustrated by the example of chronoamperometric Fe oxidation in NaCl solution. Analysis at a local scale of 10s of µm has revealed three distinct periods of Fe oxidation: the initial covering of the metal interface with a surface film, followed by the electrochemical conversion of the formed surface film, and finally, the in-depth oxidation of Fe. In addition, thermodynamic calculations and the quantitative analysis of changes in optical signal (light intensity), correlated with variations in refractive indexes, suggests the initial formation of hematite, followed by its subsequent conversion to magnetite. The reactivity maps for all three periods are heterogeneous, which can be attributed to the preferential oxidation of certain crystallographic grains. Notably, at the global scale of 100s of µm, reactivity initiates at the electrode border and progresses towards its center, demonstrating a unique pattern that is independent of local metal structure. This finding underscores the significance of simultaneously employing sub-µm-precise and wide-field measurements for a comprehensive description of metal dissolution processes.

Published: July 2023

AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the effects of WaveOne and Protaper Next on volume of dentin removed, centering ability and dentin thickness using CBCT on human mandibular molars. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Methodology: 50 recently extracted human mandibular molars were taken and divided into two groups i.e. Group 1- Pro taper next and Group -2 Wave One. The distal root was discarded and the mesiobuccal root canals were selected. Further the selected root canals were scanned to standardize the mesial root canal ranging from 15o to 45o followed by root canal preparation. Here CBCT a non invasive technique was used for assessment. The data extracted were tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis for pair wise comparison. RESULTS: It was seen that Protaper Next showed statistically significant centric ability where as dentin thickness at cervical, middle and apical level and showed no significant differences. Even mean of volume of removed dentin also showed no significant difference (p>0.05) between the groups. CONCLUSION: The inventive method of NiTi rotary system is having better-quality shaping ability in curved canals that results more centered instruments and less canal errors.

Issues for Indigenous Claims Settlement Policies Arising in Other Jurisdictions
Authors: Wickliffe Caren
Published: July 2023

This article was developed in part from the report that the author wrote for the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment (Indigenous Claims and the Process of Negotiation and Settlement in Countries with Jurisdictions and Populations Comparable to New Zealand's Background, Report for the Parliamentary Commissioner's Report Environmental Information and the Adequacy of Treaty Settlement Procedures (Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, Wellington, 1994)). This article deals with issues raised from a consideration of other jurisdictions. The author discusses the role of commissions, tribunals and the courts, the legal and historical basis of claims, claim policies and the content of negotiations and settlements in other jurisdictions, and the content of the New Zealand Crown proposals. The author concludes that New Zealand's proposals fall well behind those developed in similar jurisdictions, despite once leading the world in its desire to address historical claims.
Where to from here?
Authors: Palmer G W R
Published: July 2023

The author, a former politician and Prime Minister, provides a comment on the Treaty of Waitangi and the then-newly introduced Treaty Settlement process. The article is divided into two parts. The first part of the article asks what had been done since the signing of the Treaty, with Palmer arguing that the changing position of Māori in the New Zealand constitution was the most significant constitutional change. The second part of the article asks where New Zealand was headed next, arguing that Māori representation is (and always has been) a major issue. The author concludes that we would be better to concentrate on the very real complexities involved in getting to grips with the Treaty rather than marching off in some other direction to the beat of false drums.

Authors:   Central Mining Institute, Katowice, Kruczek Mariusz , Pichlak Magdalena ,   Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Organization and Management, Gliwice
Published: July 2023

Purpose: Changes taking place in the modern world, caused by the depletion of natural resources, and the resulting need to search for such production methods that lead to the minimisation of extraction and processing of primary raw materials, point to the need for a paradigm shift in business towards the implementation of closed material cycles. The aim of this article is to assess the extent to which Silesian enterprises are implementing initiatives related to the implementation of a circular economy with the use of the ReSOLVE model, a research framework that facilitates an overview and mapping of activities that form the basis for building circular business models. Design/methodology/approach: The study covered companies of different sizes (both SMEs and large entities) which operate in the Silesian Voivodeship. A non-probabilistic and purposive sample was selected, which ultimately included 36 companies (25 SMEs and 11 large companies). Findings: The study shows that the surveyed SMEs are much more active (when compared to large enterprises) in taking measures that, according to the ReSOLVE model, fall into the categories of Regenerate and Share. In turn, the advantages of large enterprises relate to, among other things, designing products to ensure their longer life cycle, reducing waste production and using systems/equipment that optimise resource consumption, recovering raw materials, implementing virtual services, and upgrading existing or using new technological solutions. In relation to large enterprises, the respondents indicated legal barriers as the most important, while in the SME group, market barriers, including in particular higher costs associated with the production of circular products, were mentioned. Originality/value: The study results presented in the article complement the previous literature on strategic directions, barriers and benefits while building circular business models. The key scientific contribution of the article is to confirm, in the reality of the Polish economy, the usefulness of the ReSOLVE model for identifying activities related to the implementation of a circular economy at the organizational level. Keywords: circular economy; ReSOLVE. Category of the paper: historical case study.

Authors:   Silesian University of Technology, Łukaszczyk Zygmunt , Granieczny Przemysław ,   JSK sp. z o.o.
Published: July 2023

Purpose: The occurrence of mining damage has a huge impact on the quality and safety of railway infrastructure. Damage to the railway infrastructure due to mining damage may result in the need to temporarily close the railway line, reduce capacity and thus cause disruptions in the supply of goods and services in part of the value chain requiring non-standard actions. Due to the occurrence of mining damage, there is also a need to increase funds for infrastructure maintenance. Design/methodology/approach: Railway infrastructure is a kind of critical infrastructure and its elements are subject to special protection. In order to prevent threats and minimize their effects, risk assessment should be carried out systematically and control mechanisms should be introduced in order to increase the security and quality of services provided. Findings: Analyzing the scope of activities of Jastrzębska Spółka Kolejowa sp. z o.o. numerous potential hazards have been noted. The risk may result from deterioration of the quality of railway infrastructure, railway event, incident, potentially dangerous situation, but also loss of human life. Taking into account the location of railway infrastructure in mining areas, ensuring its required quality is a huge challenge for its manager due to the intensity of mining damage. Originality/value: The article includes, among others, an analysis and risk assessment and presents control mechanisms to increase the security and quality of services provided by JSK sp. z o.o. In the article, this problem was looked at prognostically. Keywords: critical infrastructure, threat, risk, railway accidents, management.
Trust as a participant in the adaptation of technological changes
Authors:   Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Paska Marcin , Budnik Kacper ,   Wroclaw University of Science and Technology
Published: July 2023

Purpose: Trust is an important relational element in everyday social life and influences the efficiency of the communication process of the whole society. In the literature on the subject, there are different definitions of this concept. Most often, trust is described as an element of the personality formed at the beginning of life. This thesis examines the concepts of trust and trust in technology. It discusses the differences, connections, and dependencies between them, which determine the process of adaptation of technology recipients to its advanced development. Design/methodology/approach: In the content of the paper, the authors focused on a review of the literature on the selected issue. The content attempts to refer to the aspects of trust that emerge during the implementation and adaptation of new technologies. Findings: The analysis of the research carried out by individual authors allows us to conclude that the concepts of interpersonal and technological trust are not identical, but complementary. Due to technological progress and the fact that it plays an increasingly important role in society, trust in technology is gaining in importance. There is also a growing need on the part of manufacturers to provide trustworthy IT solutions, as audience trust is crucial in the sense of user acceptance of technological solutions and thus their turnover in the market. Social implications: The development of new technologies changes the shape and perception of reality. Technology determines the progress of development as well as the dynamics of functioning in this technological reality of society. New technologies throw many challenges at the social level, one of them is the issue of trust in what technology can change as a causal effect. Originality/value: In its content, the article tries to cross the horizon of current events in the dimension of technological changes. Many futurologists like Y.N. Harrari is trying to see possible scenarios that will be a consequence of implementing the technology. It is important to emphasize that technology itself is not deterministic, it is programs of use, common sense, trust and human morality that determine the ultimate agency and use of technology. Keywords: technology, trust, adaptation.

Authors:   Széchenyi István University, Doctoral School of Regional- and Business Administration Sciences, Győr, Hungary, Bilinovics-Sipos Judit , Reicher Regina ,   Budapest Business School, Budapest, Hungary
Published: July 2023

Purpose: This paper aims to provide insight into currently available corporate operation and control management approaches through the examined articles, focusing on bottlenecks and closely related theories. Design/methodology/approach: The reviewed publications, which focus on the theory of constraints, different approaches, the concept of bottlenecks, and the presentation of related methods, bring us closer to understanding the changes that have taken place in the past decades. Findings: The immense impact of digitization and changes in demand affect the requests placed on companies; the way consumer needs are met has changed and accelerated, to which companies must adapt. In the case of services and products, the primary goal of manufacturers and service providers is to generate revenue and profit by satisfying consumer needs. For this, creating and maintaining an efficient operating system that does not contain restrictive elements is necessary. This publication provides a comprehensive overview of how the approach to the unified concept of the bottleneck is an effective tool for companies to improve their processes. Research limitations/implications: The current study analyzed some of the most relevant publications in the ScienceDirect database based on the keywords. This approach certainly serves as a beginning point for the understanding that to focus on the researched problem space, a systematic literature review is required. Originality/value: This study provides insight and supports the importance of a unified approach to identifying constraints for effective operational processes. Keywords: operation management, operation control, bottleneck, Theory of Constraints. Category of the paper: General review.

Published: July 2023

Purpose: The aim of this article is to identify and assess the diversification of the financial situation of households in the eastern and western regions of Poland. Design/methodology/approach: The article identifies and assesses the diversification of the financial situation of households in the eastern and western regions of Poland. The empirical material used in the article concerns both the whole country and six voivodeships of eastern and western Poland, i.e. Lubelskie, Podkarpackie and Podlaskie as well as Dolnośląskie, Lubuskie and Zachodniopomorskie. The figures come from the Central Statistical Office in Warsaw (Social Cohesion Survey). The empirical material collected and ordered was developed in tabular and graphical form, using comparative analysis. Furthermore, all diagnostic features illustrating the financial situation of households in the eastern and western regions of Poland were scored against the background of the entire country, which is a new approach to the research problem undertaken in the article. Findings: The statistical data confirmed the research hypothesis presented in the article, assuming that households in the western regions of Poland are in a better financial situation than in the eastern regions, although there is variation in this respect between individual voivodeships of these regions. Originality/value: The originality of the work lies in the author's approach to the analysis of the research issues and the assessment of the financial situation of households in the eastern and western regions of Poland against the background of the entire country. The work is addressed primarily to politicians at the central level, as well as to local government officials responsible for the conditions, opportunities and directions of regional socioeconomic development, as well as to other decision makers implementing regional development policy in Poland. Keywords: financial situation, household, eastern and western regions of Poland. Category of the paper: research paper.
Learning orientation, firm performance and market dynamism among MSMEs: an empirical study
Authors:   Jan Kochanowski University of Kielce, Department of Management, Wójcik-Karpacz Anna , Karpacz Jarosław ,   Jan Kochanowski University of Kielce, Department of Management, Pietruszka-Ortyl Anna ,   Cracow University of Economics, Department of Organizational Behavior
Published: July 2023

Purpose: The aim of the paper is to identify learning orientation of micro-, small- and medium- sized enterprises (MSMEs) in technology parks (TPs) in Poland, and their performance which they gain in the context of the dynamism of the markets operated by them. Design/methodology/approach: This empirical study focuses on the quantitative analysis of data collected from MSMEs operating in technology parks in Poland. The study sample was composed of 182 enterprises. The two methods used for performing quantitative empirical research are: CAWI and PAPI. The conceptual framework for this research was a theory of dynamic capabilities. Findings: This study’s findings show that learning orientation is undoubtedly surveyed a MSMEs characteristic. This suggests that learning orientation is a universal phenomenon as it has features of different sizes of enterprises. Secondly, it was empirically proven that the way MSMEs were functioning in the market was neither radical nor conservative. These enterprises were rational to seek out and replace obsolete mental models. At the same time, most of them were operating in stable or moderately dynamic markets rather than in turbulent and uncertain environments. The other ones were operating in environments with slightly higher or lower volatility and uncertainty. Lastly, it was shown that the firm performance level is related to the number of employees. These findings are an argument for treating the number of employees as a non-financial measure of organisation’s development. Research implications: Replications and extensions of the current study should be directed to investigate the indirect effect of learning orientation on firm performance via moderating variable (i.e. market dynamism). At the same time, the size of enterprises may be taken into account as a control variable, for example, in the analysis of the relationship between learning orientation and firm performance. Originality/value: The research shows that LO is not a dichotomous resource. Keywords: learning orientation, firm performance, market dynamism, micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. Category of the paper: research paper.

Published: July 2023

The quantity of criminal cases in India is rising rapidly, which is the reason there are likewise a rising number of cases as yet extraordinary. Criminal cases are expanding ceaselessly, making it difficult to sort and determine them. It's essential to perceive an area's patterns of crime to prevent it from working out. On the off chance that the specialists entrusted with researching violations have a strong comprehension of the patterns in crime happening in a specific area, they will actually want to improve. Finding the examples of crime in a particular area should be possible by applying AI and different calculations.

Clitoria ternatea Linn is a hardy pasture legume. It bears typical clitorious flowers which are either blue or white. However, during a plant survey, a plant type with all the five petals which are broad was identified. The inheritance of the broad shaped petals and their colour was studied and it was found to segregate in a typical dihybrid ratio of 9:3:3:1. Test cross of the Fi with the double recessive also confirmed the above results
STATUS OF BIOLOGICAL CONTROL TRIALS AGAINST Parthenium hysterophorus BY Zygogramma bicolorata IN INDIX
Authors:   Division of Entomology and Nernotology Indian Institute Of Horticultural Research Hessaraghatta Lake Post Bangalore 560 089, K.P JAYANTH
Published: July 2023

Parthenium hysterophorus, of Neotropical origin, is the most predominant weed of vacant plots, waste lands and pastures in most parts of India. It has been established that growth inhibitors released from this plant to the soil through leaching, exudation of roots and during decay of residues suppress local vegetation and threatens natural diversity. P.hysterophorus is also reported to affect agriculture, human health and livestock production in India. As manual, chemical and competitive displacement methods are not practicable, biological control trials were initiated by importation and releases of the chrysomelid beetle Zygogramma bicolorata. The insect established readily, after releases were initiated in 1984, and started building up damaging population levels from 1988. Since then it has spread over more than 200,000 sq km area in and around Bangalore, causing large scale defoliation of parthenium and encouraging the growth of vegetation formerly suppressed by this weed. But the insect was noticed to feed on sunflower in a few isolated fields in Karnataka, raising fears of a host shift. However, detailed laboratory and field studies clearly indicated that Z.bicolorata is unlikely to become a pest of sunflower. The results of the studies carried out to date indicate that Zbicolorata has the potential to bring about permanent reduction in the density of P.hysterophorus in Bangalore and surrounding areas. However, it may be desirable to import additional natural enemies such as the leaf mining moth Bucculatrix parthenica and the seed feeding weevil Smicromyx lutulentus. Similarly, importation of host- specific plant pathogens such as Puccinia abrupta var. partheniicola, may also contribute to the successful biological control of this noxious weed throughout India.

Diallel analysis conducted in six genotypes of cowpea revealed that additive gene action for the expression of days to flowering, number of leaves, leaf area index, specific leaf weight, green fodder yield, dry matter yield and leaf:stem ratio and non-additive gene action for plant height, number of branches and crude protein content. Among the parents, UPC 9202, UPC 9103 and CO S were found to be the best combiners. The crosses UPC 9202 x CO 5 and UPC 9103 x CO 5 were found to be the best specific combiners for green fodder and dry matter yield.

Field experiments were conducted in kharif and rabi, 1991-93 on a sandy loam soil at Vridhachalam, Tamil Nadu to test the effect of intercropping of green gram, black gram and sesamum at 4:1 in groundnut sown at 33, 42, 50 plants/m2. It was inferred that pod yield varied at different plant population of sole and intercropped groundnut. Economic analysis of the treatment. combinations indicated the possibility of obtaining higher monetary benefit by adoption of the groundnut + green gram intercropping. For this system, groundnut population is to be increased to 42 plants/m² than recommended population of 33 plants/m².

Twenty eight genotypes of tenul (foxtail millet) (Setaria italica) were studied for dry matter production, harvest index and grain yield with other seven characters. High PCV and GCV were obtained for root weight. Low heritability and low genetic advance were observed for grain yield and earhead weight. Medium heritability and medium genetic advance observed for all other characters indicated that these characters may be partially governed by additive genes. Grain yield is having positive association with total dry matter, earhead weight and straw weight but not with harvest index suggesting that harvest index alone will have no value for the improvement of grain yield. Though the grain yield is positively associated with total dry matter and earhead weight, selection for improvement of grain yield either through earhead weight or by direct selection for grain yield will not be of much use since these two traits have low heritability and genetic advance. So, selection through total dry matter production will be appropriate in the present tenai materials studied.

A 6 x 6 diallel analysis involving six rice genotypes viz., Bhavani, MDU 3, IET 6262, IET 6709, IET 7552 and IET 9239 showed both general and specific combining ability variances significant for all the characters including ratooning ability. GCA variances were higher than SCA variances for all the traits and indicated the predominance of additive gene action. The parents IET 6709, IET 7552 and Bhavani possessed favourable genes for most of the traits and may be combined through recombination breeding to realize high ratoon yield as seen from high mean and significant gea effects. The hybrids Bhavani/ET 6262, Bhavani/IET 6709,1ET 6709/IET 7552 and IET 6262/IET 6709 possessed high per se performance and sca effects for the traits regenerated tiller number, productive tiller number per plant besides ratoon yield and may be exploited in heterosis breeding.
