Published: March 2022

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a progressive, chronic, debilitating autoimmune disease manifested clinically by polyarthralgia associated with joint dysfunction triggering the antibodies targeting against the self-neoepitopes determined by autoimmune responses associated with chronic arthritic attacks. Arthritis is not an inherited disease but caused by stimulation of some hidden arthritis susceptible genes lowering the quality of life throughout the world, particularly in developing countries. RA generally affects the joints like wrists, elbows, knees and ankles. Usually women are more affected by RA than men due to the prevalence of hormonal changes. Age is also an important factor that contributes for the development of RA. Several anti-inflammatory and disease-modifying drugs are available for RA therapy. However, the prolonged use of these drugs is associated with severe side effects. Furthermore, these drugs are effective only in a proportion of RA patients. Hence, there is a need to search for new therapeutic agents that are effective yet safe. Interestingly, a variety of herbs and other natural products offer a vast resource for such anti-arthritic agents. Nature has been a source of medicinal agents for more than thousands of years and herbal therapy predominates in traditional systems of medicine as well as in alternative medicine practiced in various cultures such as Indian system of medicine, Chinese Traditional Medicine, Unani classical literature. This review article presents about various polyherbal formulations (PHF) utilized in RA treatment. PHF has been used all around the earth due to its medicinal and therapeutic application. The present review deals with various commercial and non-commercial polyherbal formulation used by different countries of the world for the treatment of RA, their therapeutic potentials including clinical and preclinical results along with their safety and efficacy. This review will facilitate to gain all about the past scientific research and the necessary information about the anti-arthritic activities of polyherbal formulations which will insist the young researchers for future research to protect human beings from RA and may serves as a natural gold for the promotion of mankind.

A novel synthesis of eco-friendly bioplastic film made of chitosan extracted from crab shell is presented in the current study. Crab shell use can result in a reduction in marine waste management. The extracted chitosan has a broad variety of applications in the food industry as a food preservative due to its antibacterial function. A novel procedure for preparing chitosan from crab shells was developed. In the present study, chitosan extracted from crab shell through deproteinization, demineralization and followed by deacetylation. Characterization of extracted chitosan was done by FTIR, and SEM was used to record the photomicrograph image of extracted chitosan. The antibacterial activity of extracted chitosan was studied against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The bio-plastic film was synthesized using the extracted chitosan by adding glycerol as plasticizer along with citric acid, and agarose to the mixture to develop bioplastic film. FTIR vibrations patterns showed stretching of hydroxyl (O-H), amine (N-H) and carbonyl (C-O) groups which indicated the presence of chitosan. The change in the morphology of samples was followed by SEM. It is concluded that the procedure developed in the present work showed that the extracted chitosan is suitable for the preparation of ultra-thin, labile, bioplastic film with good apparent texture. The advantages of the developed product could be its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and effective use as biomedical interface.

Published: March 2022

Silver is known for its antimicrobial effects and silver nanoparticles have become a promising synthetic strategy due to its antimicrobial potential. The study was carried out in Heliotropium indicum L. aqueous leaves extract for determining the antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against human skin pathogens with statistical tests at 1% level of significance. Characterization of AgNPs was carried out by UV-Vis Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction Spectroscopy (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Antimicrobial activities of AgNPs was determined by agar well diffusion method and MIC was determined by resazurin-based turbidometric method. The UV spectroscopic analysis showed the highest absorbance peak at 420 nm. The particle size and structure was confirmed by SEM analysis and it was revealed that the formed particles were of different shapes but predominantly spherical with an average size of 77-98 nm with interparticle distance. The crystalline nature of the AgNPs was determined by X-ray diffraction patterns. The biosynthesized AgNPs exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 4676) and antifungal activity against Candida albicans (MTCC 183). Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilks test, Levene’s test of homogeneity of variance and ANOVA were performed using SPSS software. The ANOVA test revealed that the zone of inhibition against P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, B. cereus, T. rubrum and C. albicans was significantly different among samples at 1% level of significance (p less than 0.01). The potent antimicrobial activity may justify the biomedical use of AgNPs as antimicrobial agents for controlling microbial infections.

Uncertainty and complexity in nuclear decision-making
Authors: Unal Beyza , Cournoyer Julia , Inverarity Calum , Afina Yasmin
Published: March 2022

Complex systems modelling is already implemented in critical policy areas such as climate change and health. It could also play an important role in the nuclear weapons sphere – by opening alternative pathways that may help mitigate risks of confrontation and escalation – but such modelling has yet to be fully embraced by policymakers in this community. By applying a complexity lens, policy- and decision-makers at all stages along the nuclear chain of command might better understand how their actions could have significant consequences for international security and peace. Nuclear decision-making is shaped by, and interacts with, the ever-changing international security environment and nuclear weapons policy. Tackling problems in the nuclear weapons policy field requires the implementation of ‘system of systems’ design principles, mathematical modelling approaches and multidisciplinary analysis. This research paper presents nuclear weapons decision-making as a complex endeavour, with individual decisions being influenced by multiple factors such as reasoning, intuition (gut feeling), biases and system-level noise. At a time of crisis, these factors may combine to cause risks of escalation. The authors draw on past examples of near nuclear use to examine decision-making in the nuclear context as a ‘wicked problem’, with multi-layered, interacting and constantly fluctuating elements.

Новые концепции оказания помощи при политравме - еще требуют клинических доказательств. Мы доказываем концепцию «метаболической реабилитации», использование которой позволяет значительно снизить показатели смертности и инвалидности, улучшить функциональные исходы. Жизнь пострадавшего с политравмой зависит от правильного организационного подхода вначале лечим «митохондриальную бурю», которая обосновывает формирование «цитокинового шторма» и приводит к полиорганной недостаточности (травматическая болезнь). Это прежде всего мероприятия направленные на спасение жизни, восстановление метаболизма и адекватной оксигенации, как это доказывает развитие COVID-19. Несмотря на появившиеся успехи по-прежнему проблема точной диагностики и малоинвазивного лечения остается актуальной для клиник политравмы.

Providing assistance to victims with polytrauma requires the development of modern approaches to diagnosis and treatment, both organizationally and tactically. Modern principles of care lead to the understanding that a thorough study of the victim's immune status, his metabolic response to trauma, is crucial for the possibility of preserving his life for a patient with polytrauma. The concept of "metabolic rehabilitation" has been developed, which is based on the following patterns: 1) in acute and early periods with polytrauma, cardiac activity and tissue oxygenation do not suffer from a decrease in erythrocyte counts to: erythrocytes 2.8, Hb 80, Ht 32%; 2) the principle of "permissible hypotension", blood pressure (100 mm Hg) Provides adequate tissue perfusion and reduces blood loss; 3) early minimally invasive surgery (external fixation of injuries of the musculoskeletal system using the concept of “separately controlled rod”); 4) operations are accompanied by early intensive therapy with long-term artificial ventilation of the lungs; 5) SIRS operations are excluded, with the exception of "rescue" operations. The main change in Damage Control Orthopedics is the approach to the patient with polytrauma from the standpoint of the balance of diagnostic manipulations with resuscitation. The system of therapeutic measures should include: a - a general complex for the elimination of the crisis state of the basic vital functions of the body and the correction of life support systems; b - directly measures to restore the anatomical structures and functions of damaged organs and segments, depending on the specific combination and nature of the damage.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, with at least 2.8 million people dying each year as a result of consequences of overweight or obesity. The study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of Overweight and obesity among 20-40 years old residing in an urban area in North Karnataka and to study the risk factors affecting overweight and obesity.

Methods: A Cross Sectional Study was done among adults aged 20-40 years in urban field practice area in North Karnataka in 2017-18. The sample size was calculated to be 207. Selection of study subjects was done using systematic random sampling. Data regarding socio-demographic profile and anthropometric measurements were collected and BMI calculated.

Results: The prevalence of overweight was 45.9% and obesity was 11.1%. Females had more prevalence of overweight (46.8%) and obesity (13.8%) as compared to males. overweight was more in sedentary workers (50%).There was a high prevalence of obesity among participants with mixed diet(82.6%) and 63.1% of participants eating junk food were overweight and 69.5% were obese. The prevalence of overweight was more among participants with class IV socioeconomic status (45.3%) followed by class III (31.6%).

Conclusion: There is a growing prevalence of overweight and obesity in urban areas that calls for an urgent need to prevent the further consequences and decrease the burden.
Comparative analysis of climate and topography in Chaco and Oriental, Paraguay
Authors: Lemenkova Polina
Published: March 2022

The article reports the issues corresponding to the climate variability and possibility of droughts in spatially distinct regions of Paraguay, the Chaco and the Oriental (Paraná Basin). Based on the GMT scripting approach and high-resolution datasets from the TerraClimate and GEBCO, the study examined the extent of the annual climate and environmental variables over Paraguay in 2020: extreme temperatures, wind speed, precipitation, soil moisture, evapotranspiration, Palmer's Drought Severity Index (PDSI), vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and the topography of the country. The environmental and climate parameters demonstrated spatial variability in the Dry Chaco with notable differences in Gran Chaco and Chaco Boreal, wetlands of Pantanal, and tropical rainforests in east of the Paraguay. Besides climate analysis, technical snippets from the GMT scripts regarding the mapping techniques and data processing were explained and commented. Research results show that actual evapotranspiration reaches maximal values in the Paraná Basin (180 mm/yr), and has peaks along the Pilcomayo river (140-150 mm/yr) which well coincides with the soil moisture; the PDSI values are maximal in Chaco Boreal and Gran Chaco; the temperatures are the highest in the N and NW regions of Paraguay; the highest VPD (over 2.0) corresponds to the Chaco Boreal.

A monitoria é caracterizada como uma modalidade de ensino e aprendizagem que auxilia na formação integrada dos estudantes. É considerada como uma oportunidade dos monitores desenvolverem habilidades relacionadas à docência, além de aprofundar conhecimentos na área específica. Contudo, a sua ação efetiva depende de muitos fatores que vão desde o interesse particular dos estudantes “monitorados” até à colaboração do professor da disciplina com o monitor. Assim, refletir e compreender como os estudantes “monitorados”, estudantes monitores e professores enxergam a monitoria constitui-se uma atividade fundamental, especialmente para impulsionar melhorias. Deste modo, este estudo relata a experiência vivenciada por esses três diferentes atores, participantes de um projeto de monitoria que auxilia disciplinas que envolvem tópicos relacionados à lógica e ao raciocínio matemático, notadamente à programação de computadores. Os resultados revelam que, embora os estudantes “monitorados” tenham consciência da importância da monitoria, muitos não sentem a necessidade de procurar o monitor, muitas vezes recorrendo à internet e aos colegas para sanarem suas dúvidas. Além disso, os estudantes consideraram as disciplinas apoiadas pela monitoria como essenciais para alcançar seus objetivos profissionais, e acham a profissão de Computação divertida. Considerando os monitores, os nossos resultados revelaram que “Contribuir significativamente com o processo de aprendizagem de outros estudantes” e o “Interesse em ingressar na vida acadêmica/docente” são os principais motivos que levam os estudantes a entrarem no projeto de monitoria. Também indicaram que a monitoria permitiu melhorar suas estratégias de ensino, o conhecimento sobre linguagens de programação e a oralidade. Com relação aos professores, os nossos resultados mostram que os professores enxergam o projeto de monitoria como um recurso importante no processo de aprendizado do estudante. Contudo, verificou-se que, embora os professores estejam abertos ao projeto de monitoria, ainda falta uma maior interatividade entre esses e o estudante monitor.
Unsupervised Segmentation of Cattle Images Using Deep Learning

Published: March 2022

In this work, we used the Deep Learning (DL) architecture named U-Net to segment images containing side view cattle. We evaluated the ability of the U-Net to segment images captured with different backgrounds and from the different breeds, both acquired by us and from the Internet. Since cattle images present a more constant background than other applications, we also evaluated the performance of the U-Net when we change the numbers of convolutional blocks and filters. Results show that U-Net can be used to segment cattle images using fewer blocks and filters than traditional U-Net and that the number of blocks is more important than the total number of filters used.

Published: March 2022

In recent years, one can find several efforts to increase the inclusion of people with some type of disability. As a result, the global study of sign language has become an important research area. Therefore, this project aims at developing an information system for the automatic recognition of the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS). The recognition shall be done through the processing of videos, without relying on support hardware. Given the great difficulty of creating a system for this purpose, an approach was developed by dividing the process into stages. In addition to dynamically identifying signs and context, neural network concepts and tools were used to extract the characteristics of interest and classify them accordingly. In addition, a dataset of signs, referring to the alphabet in LIBRAS, was built as well as a tool to interpret, with the aid of a webcam, the signal executed by a user, transcribing it on the screen.
