Hepatoprotective Potential of Genkwanin Against Aflatoxin B1-Induced Biochemical, Inflammatory and Histopathological Toxicity in Rats
Authors: Ijaz Muhammad Umar , Ishtiaq Ayesha , Ehsan Nazia , Imran Muhammad , Zhu Guo-ping
Published: December 2022

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a potent mycotoxin in humans and animals. The exposure to AFB1 is evidenced to implicate multi-organ toxicity in humans and animals, particularly hepatotoxicity. Genkwanin (GNK) is a bioactive non-glycosylated flavonoid with potential pharmacological properties. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine the dose-dependent role of GNK against AFB1-instigated hepatotoxicity. The investigation was carried out on 96 adult male albino rats, which were equally distributed into eight groups. The effect of 3 different doses of GNK (5, 10 and 20 mgkg-1) was evaluated against the toxicity elicited by 50 ugkg-1 of AFB1. After the administration of AFB1 and GNK by the oral gavage for 56 days, the biochemical and hepatic serum markers were determined in addition to histopathological observation. AFB1 exposure disrupted the biochemical profile by declining the activities of antioxidant enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glutathione content), while elevating the concentration of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde level. Furthermore, AFB1 exposure notably elevated the levels of hepatic serum enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase) along with the levels of inflammatory markers, nuclear factor kappa-B, tumor necrosis factor-α, Interleukin-6, Interleukin-1β and activity of cyclooxygenase-2. Besides, AFB1 induction caused histopathological impairments in hepatic tissues. Nonetheless, GNK co-administration remarkably ameliorated all the damages of the hepatic system induced by AFB1 administration to the rats. Therefore, it was demonstrated that the GNK could potentially cure AFB1-instigated hepatotoxicity attributing to its antioxidative and ant-inflammatory potential
Potential of Anisakiasis in Foodborne Zoonosis
Authors: Marcelino Liliana Aguilar
Published: December 2022

Seafood is an essential part of nutrient acquisition and is considered a staple food in areas located nearby water bodies. The potential pathogens associated with seafood consumption are often neglected to make foodborne zoonosis more likely to occur. Anisakiasis resulting from infected nematodes Anisakis has worldwide distribution including developing continents like Asia (China, Japan, Korea and Bangladesh) and some developed areas like the Netherlands and the United States. Despite a global burden of morbidities and fatalities, Anisakiasis remains a neglected zoonotic disease. The intensity and distribution of disease rise owing to the consumption of different kinds of raw or improperly cooked seafood like sushi etc. There is no proper treatment for Anisakiasis owing to the delays in reaching out for medical opinions. Keeping in view the gaps in Anisakiasis research and surveillance, we should improve the treatment with medicine, surgery, and essential oil and curtail the transmission of diseases from parasites to humans. There are gaps in the existing information on the epidemiological significance of the so far known species of Anisakis, both in their natural and accidental host-like human population worldwide. This review signifies the importance of awareness, knowledge of Anisakiasis among humans and animals from a global viewpoint. A holistic approach by thorough assessment of the rapidly spreading disease Anisakiasis in natural and accidental hosts as well as in marine ecosystems is required to prevent morbidities and mortalities in humans

The paper presents some results on the ability of palm oil polyol to replace the petroleum-based polyol in polyurethane (PU) synthesis. In this study, palm oil polyol with amine functionality with hydroxyl value (OH value) between 240 -253 mg KOH/g was used as the polyol component to replace the conventional petroleum-based polyol. Four different formulationsof polyurethane coating have been prepared using pre-polymer process namely PU1, PU2, PU3 and PU4 with the polyol to isophorone diisocyanate ratio (OH:NCO) of 1:0.6 and 1:0.5 and acetone within 25-50 wt %. PU1 (1:0.6) and PU2(1:0.5) result in brittle film, while PU3 (1:0.6) and PU4 (1:05) has a soft and flexiblefilm with better transparency. This finding establishes that the acetone content effect the final properties of the polyurethane formed. The polymerization reaction was monitored using thefourier transform infra-red spectroscopy and it was found that the peak correspondsto NH (3302 cm-1), CO (1627 cm-1) and CN (1543 cm-1) stretching of urethane linkage appearingin all the PU films. The water uptake test was done on the films and it was found that the percentage of water uptake is less than 5% within 24 hours of immersion.The surface morphology of the PU films shows thathomogeneitywas achieved in 1:0.6 of OH:NCO ratio with 25 wt% of acetone. The PU films havethe potential to be developed for water resistant coating.

Introducción. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el impacto sobre la mortalidad según el perfil de ingreso a un centro de trauma del suroccidente colombiano, como método para entender las dinámicas de atención del paciente con trauma.
Métodos. Se realizó un subanálisis del registro de la Sociedad Panamericana de Trauma asociado a un centro de trauma en el suroccidente colombiano. Se analizaron los pacientes atendidos entre los años 2012 y 2021. Se compararon los pacientes con condición de ingreso directo y aquellos que ingresaron remitidos. Se hicieron análisis de poblaciones de interés como pacientes con trauma severo (ISS > 15) y pacientes con/sin trauma craneoencefálico. Se evaluó el impacto de los pacientes remitidos y su condición al ingreso sobre la mortalidad.
Resultados. Se incluyeron 10.814 pacientes. La proporción de pacientes remitidos fue del 54,7 %. Los pacientes que ingresaron remitidos presentaron diferencias respecto a la severidad del trauma y compromiso fisiológico al ingreso comparado con los pacientes con ingreso directo. Los pacientes remitidos tienen mayor riesgo de mortalidad (RR: 2,81; IC95% 2,44-3,22); sin embargo, es el estado fisiológico al ingreso lo que impacta en la mortalidad.
Conclusión. Los pacientes remitidos de otras instituciones tienen un mayor riesgo de mortalidad, siendo una inequidad en salud que invita a la articulación de actores institucionales en la atención de trauma. Un centro de trauma debe relacionarse con las instituciones asociadas para crear un sistema de trauma que optimice la atención de los pacientes y la oportunidad.

The molecules of dihydrocoumarin and 5,6-methylenedioxy-1-indanone were studied by the negative ion resonant electron capture mass spectrometry for slow (0-15 eV) electrons. Such studies of the structure of vacant molecular orbitals (VMO) and dissociative electron attachment (DEA) for isolated molecules of prospective organic semiconducting materials, which are of great interest in terms of use as elementary components of organic nanoelectronics devices, are the most promising, since a correspondence between the energies of vacant MO isolated molecules and the maxima of the density of states in the conduction band of thin films was revealed earlier. Also, there is an idea developing in modern science, that the results of studies of vacant orbitals of individual molecules in the gas phase, in particular, using the DEA method, are necessary to identify the features of the energy structure of the conduction band of molecular organic condensates, starting from energies below the vacuum level, by the amount of binding energy of molecules in the film. In particular, it was shown that the substances studied in this work cannot be used as monomeric compounds in the design of electrically conductive polymers in the future, since they do not form negative molecular ions in the gas phase at energies close to thermal.

There are many tasks solved by people that can be partially or completely automated. One of the most prom- ising tools for these purposes are artificial neural networks. Neural networks are a technology at the intersection of many disciplines: physics, mathematics, statistics, computer science and technology. They find application in a wide range of tasks, such as time series analysis, regression analysis, pattern recognition in images, etc. It is im- possible not to note an important feature of neural networks: to learn from data both with the participation of a teacher, and to go through the learning process without a teacher. This article discusses the basic terms and basic principles of the functioning of artificial neural networks. At the beginning, a mathematical model of the operation of an artificial neuron is given. The main constituent elements of an artificial neuron, such as synapses, inputs, axons, etc., are described. Some subtleties in optimization processes are generalized, and the main types of activa- tion functions are given. Examples of software implementations of neural networks are given, specific application cases are considered, their strengths are noted, as well as some limitations. Given the limitations, an alternative technology is presented: hardware implementations of artificial neural networks. A brief description of the use of neural networks in the world is given, after which the classification of hardware implementations is considered. Each class highlights the features of using such technologies, including strengths and weaknesses. At the end of the article, the question of the relevance of the problem of finding an element base for building hardware solutions in the field of artificial neural networks is raised, arguments are given in favor of the development of hardware solutions. It is shown that it is necessary to further develop the element base for the construction of artificial neu- ral networks.

Published: December 2022

Urbanization growing is nowadays highlighted in the big cities. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the production of cement, which is used in several areas of civil construction, to supplement the growing demand. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the content of hexavalent soluble chromium in Portland cement samples from different cement industries in São Paulo state, Brazil, since this chemical species can cause adverse health effects as well as being a potential human carcinogenic for those who manipulate it. In Brazil, the emission of Cr6+ in the cement has no restrictions, since there is no current Brazilian law that determines the maximum concentration of it, whereas, in Europe, the current law 2003/53/EC establishes a maximum of 2 mg.kg-1. So, the Cr6+ content for different cement samples was determined by spectrophotometry based on the European standard EN196-10/2006. It was found by the analysis that among all types of cement produced in São Paulo, the only one that did not exceed the standard limit was the CP III, probably because this kind of cement has a high concentration of additions in its composition, responsible for diluting thereby chromium content. The other types of cement exceeded the established limit. It was concluded that Brazil urgently needs a law to regulate the hexavalent soluble chromium emission present in Portland cement to minimize the environmental and health effects that the cement out of specification may cause.
Investigation on Solid Waste Management in Developing Countries
Authors: Adhikari Ram Chandra
Published: December 2022

Solid waste is global problem relating to environment, society and economics. Waste management is challenging issue as the quantity has been increasing with increase of population, urbanization and economic status. Some dozens of printed and online published books, journals, dissertations, website of agencies etc. were reviewed and by making outline and following guideline this article was prepared. It is found that the waste production varies from 0.25Kg to 1.38 Kg per capita per day in developing countries. In south South American countries it was recorded 1.07 Kg/capita/day, in Asian countries 0.4 to 1.62Kg/capita/day and in African region it was found 0.49 Kg/capita/day of waste production. The waste contains mostly biodegradable (50% to 80%). The collection system was very poor and from rural area only 10% to 20% waste and in urban area 44% to 90% of total produced waste was carried to collecting and management system. The common waste management’s adopted in developing countries were open dumping, landfill site, composting, incineration and open burning etc. From 18% to 92% of waste were found to dumping. In east pacific region 46% and in American countries 68.5% of total waste was carried to landfill site. The use of incinerator is scarcely found. Only in few countries well managed composting plants could be observed. Some landfill sites and incinerating plant shave generated electricity, biogas, brickets etc. Some pointed research gaps in this field are waste management and biodiversity, medicinal and hazardous waste management, vermicomposting etc. It can be recommended that for the waste management public awareness, participation of locals, application of reduction, reuse and recycling concept, waste management inside house premise, modernization and scientific management of solid wastes. Further researches are needed in different aspects of waste and management for the complete solution.

Published: December 2022

In the conditions of military operations taking place on the territory of Ukraine, the reliability of the heat supply system is of particular importance. The destruction of engineering infrastructure, targeted destruction of energy supply sources and fuel blackmail carried out by the Russian Federation leads to the emergence of significant problems of providing heat to urban agglomerations. At the state level, heat supply should be considered as an integral part of national energy security. Ukraine has a unique chance to transform the heat supply system and bring it up to modern European requirements. Therefore, choosing the right strategy for the development of a reliable and stable heat supply system of the country is an urgent scientific and technical problem. The modern and post-war reconstruction of the Ukrainian energy sector is, above all, the implementation of initiatives that are already being implemented in the EU countries. It should be noted that Europe seeks to reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels by rapidly transitioning to clean energy and joining efforts to achieve a more sustainable energy system.

The purpose of this work is to conduct an analysis and substantiation of proposals for ensuring a stable heat supply of infrastructure facilities and urban agglomerations in the conditions of hostilities, emergency situations and further transformation of the heat energy industry of Ukraine in accordance with the standards of the European Union.

An assessment of factors affecting energy security and operational reliability of centralized heat supply systems was carried out. Technical solutions are proposed, which allow to ensure the coordinated and stable operation of heat supply systems with the involvement of the latest developments of equipment and technologies of the ITTF of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Application of these developments can be implemented in heat supply systems in a short period of time. Suggestions and rationale for their use are also provided.

STRATEGIC RESILIENCE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF LEADING LITERATURE
Authors: Colberg Tim
Published: December 2022

Topicality: The concepts of resilience, organizational resilience, and strategic resilience in management science have been gaining more and more attention in recent years. Strategic resilience, in general, can be understood as the capability to turn threats into opportunities. The overarching concept of organizational resilience describes the capability to respond to changes or adversity; however, the concept of strategic resilience is still underrepresented in research and not clearly distinguished within organizational resilience. The research aim: This paper aims to conduct a systematic literature review to develop a shared understanding of the concept of strategic resilience in business and management research. Furthermore, a future research agenda is provided from these findings. Methodology: The review examines the leading publications with the search term ‘strategic resilience’ in the ScienceDirect and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) databases with a Boolean search. In total, 73 publications across 45 publication sources from 1979 to 2021 are used. Findings: Research on the resilience of companies and systems seems to trend upwards. Publications are concentrated primarily in journals with an environmental or sustainable background. The publications view resilience in terms of the cause of resilience, fields where resilience is applied, or the concept of resilience and strategic management itself. Novelty: Analyzing the existing research shows that strategic resilience can prepare a response to unforeseeable challenges or opportunities in a company by pursuing an ambidextrous organization that exploits operational resilience and explores strategic resilience to build organizational resilience.

Objectives: The formulation of emotion-focused and compassion-focused behavioral intervention therapy can explain the relationship between the dimensions of problems and the health promotion of patients with headache symptoms and present the first combined treatment for emotional problems and the sedation of the nervous system to investigate and comprehensively prevent the symptoms of primary headaches. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up with a control group. The sample consisted of 45 patients with primary headache symptoms who were referred to the neurology clinic of Khatam Al-Anbia Hospital in Tehran City, Iran. They were selected by the purposive sampling method and randomly divided into two experimental groups and a control group (15 people in each group). The experimental groups underwent a combination of compassion-based emotion therapy (ten 60-min sessions) and compassion-focused treatment (eight 60-min sessions). The control group received no intervention. After collecting the data, they were entered into the SPSS software, version 24. Descriptive statistical indices (mean and standard deviation) and statistical inference (repeated measures analysis of variance and the Bonferroni post hoc test) were used to analyze the data. Results: The findings showed that the quality of life (QoL) variable is not significant because of the non-compliance with the spheric default in the intragroup effect and time factor (F=3.47, df=1.15, and P<0.05); However, the interaction of the factor of time and group (F= 8.25, df= 2.31, and P<0.01) shows a significant difference (P<0.01) in the QoL variable between pre-test, post-test, and follow-up and time interaction with the group (between the three groups). Conclusion: Compassion-based emotion-based combination therapy packages can help control the current situation and subsequent decisions of patients in the face of the signs and symptoms of early headaches by creating a calm mental environment and relieving any pressure or stress. Therefore, compassion-based emotion-based combination therapy is a treatment option that can be used to increase the QoL of people with primary headaches.

Background and Aims The purpose of this article was to present a local model for ecosystem analysis of the IoT business model in the field of rehabilitation in Iran with an emphasis on improving the quality of life of the disabled community in the country. Methods The current article can be categorized as applied, combined (qualitative and quantitative), and survey-based descriptive. The society, i.e., the statistical sample, included eight experts in the qualitative part and consisted of 100 executives and experts in the quantitative part. A questionnaire was used to analyze the dimensions and indicators. The face validation of the questionnaire was performed by the Delphi technique. Content validity ratio and content validity ratio were used as two content-related validity indicators for qualitative validation. The reliability of all dimensions and indicators was confirmed through Cronbach’s test with a population consisting of 30 experts. To analyze the proposed model of the researcher, we used inferential tests, loading factor analysis, t, structure equation modeling, and fitting techniques on a 100-person sample. Results The fitness of the model was approved by experts with 99% confidence according to the philosophy, goals of the theoretical foundations of dimensions and components, feedback, and output of the model. Conclusion The findings of this paper led to a model with several dimensions: (1) environment, (2) actors, (3) ecosystem cycle, and (4) IoT architecture in business. The corresponding indicators for the identified dimensions were validated. Independence, interaction, and empowerment were considered three principle values for the target community.

Background and Aims Headache is one of the most common problems in adults and almost 47% of the world's population suffer from some kind of headache. High percentage of these headaches come from neck muscles these are called cervicogenic headaches. The purpose of this study is Comparison of the effect of comprehensive therapeutic protocol with and without manual treatment and kinesiotaping on pain and disability, postural and electrical activity of some neck muscles in men with non-traumatic cervicogenic headache. Methods 43 men aged 35 to 55 years with non-traumatic cervicogenic headache were selected for this study and randomly divided into four groups.Forward head angle, pain and disability and power of neck superficial muscle activation measured by using the photogrammetry, neck pain and disability scale (NPDS) and surface electromyography respectively in pre-test and after six weeks in post-test. Statistical methods, Shapiro-wilk and then repeated measures ANOVA and one-way ANOVA and paired t-test, repeated measure variance and finally and Bonferroni were used (α≤0.05). Results The results showed a significant decrease in pain and disability, forward head angle and also a decrease in the activity of the superficial neck muscles in the experimental groups after six weeks of intervention. (P=0.00). Comparing the above three experimental groups, the comprehensive exercise therapy group with manual therapy had the highest statistical significance in reducing pain and disability, reducing the angle of head forward and reducing the activity of superficial neck muscles. (P=0.00). Conclusion comprehensive exercise therapy intervention with manual therapy had the greatest effect on improving the symptoms of men with non-thromatic cervicogenic headache.

Background and Aims Blindness is one of the major health problems and diseases, such as corneal opacity, cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration due to diabetes are recognized as the most important causes of bilateral blindness worldwide. Among these factors, corneal diseases are considered as an important cause of blindness. The aim of this study was to review the prevalence, causative agents, treatment methods, and also the use of keratoprosthesis or artificial cornea as the last option to restore vision to blind patients with severe corneal injuries. Methods Studies related to the subject were collected and reviewed using valid databases, such as PubMed and Google Scholar. Results Out of more than 1000 articles in the field of the artificial cornea, about 70 related articles were selected and reviewed. Conclusion Generally, keratoprosthesis is used for patients for whom corneal transplantation is not possible or the risk of corneal transplantation rejection is high. The patient’s current condition and the outcome of the patient’s anterior and posterior segment examinations, previous treatments and surgeries, and the medications used should be considered. If a person has advanced retinal disease or glaucoma, he/she is not a good candidate for keratoprosthesis. If the patient’s vision in either eye is within the range of light perception or hand movement detection, while the optic nerve and macula are healthy, it is appropriate to use keratoprosthesis. It can be said that there is still no type of keratoprosthesis that can be used without side effects and for all patients in need, but researchers are still trying to improve the quality of keratoprostheses, which can restore patients’ lost vision with minimal complications.
Synthesis of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles using Indian Medicinal Plants for Photocatalytic Applications - A Review

Published: December 2022

The green route based on plant extracts has been regarded a valuable alternative to traditional methods for nanoparticle synthesis due to its low cost, biocompatibility, scalability, and absence of the need for additional stabilising agents during nanoparticle creation. In considerable concentrations, plant extracts contain several phytochemicals such as phenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, and tannins, as well as numerous vitamins. During the creation of metal nanoparticles from their respective precursors, these phytochemicals operate as reducing, capping, and stabilising agents. Even if photocatalytic processes are an useful technique for treating harmful organic pollutants, the bulk of present photocatalysts are unable to exploit sunlight enough to accomplish the destruction of these pollutants. According to a number of researchers, metal oxide nanoparticles have substantial photocatalytic activity when exposed to visible light. Among the several chemical and physical processes used to synthesis nanostructured metal oxide, the green synthetic pathway is the most cost-effective and eco-friendly.
