Evaluation of antiulcer and antioxidant potential of Ipomoea Reniformis leaf extract against experimentally induced ulcer in rats
Authors: S. Shree Lakshmi Devi , S. C. Abilash , S. Sengottuvelu
Published: June 2017

Background: Ulcer is a major disease of gastrointestinal system which affects about 10% of the world’s population. As conventional drugs can produce undesirable side effects on long term use it can be replaced by herbal medicines more safely. The study was designed to evaluate the antiulcer activity of ethanolic leaf extract of Ipomoea reniformis against pyloric ligated ulcer and cold restraint stress induced ulcer models in rats.Methods: Male Wistar albino rats were used. 0.1% Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) was used as vehicle. Ethanolic leaf extract of Ipomoea reniformis was employed at two dose levels (200 and 400mg/kg). Omeprazole (10mg/kg) was used as reference control in both the models. The test drugs were administered by suspending in CMC, through oral route. In pyloric ligated ulcer model, gastric volume, ulcer index and percentage protection were measured. In cold restraint stress induced ulcer model, ulcer index and percentage protection was measured. The stomach homogenate was subjected to antioxidant profiles.Results: Ethanolic leaf extract of Ipomoea reniformis dose dependently decreased the gastric volume in pyloric ligated ulcer model and significantly reduced the ulcer index in both the models. Ipomoea reniformis in both the doses significantly protected the animals against stress-induced free radical damage due to decrease in LPO and reversal of changes induced by stress on SOD and CAT.Conclusions: From the result, it was concluded that the Ipomoea reniformis leaf extract exhibited antiulcer activity in both the tested models were due to its antisecretary and antioxidant property.

A serological survey on cryptosporidiosis in Najran region, Southwestern Saudi Arabia with reference to some epidemiological features of the infection
Authors: Elshahawy Ismail
Published: June 2017

Background: Cryptosporidium infection remains a major public health issue, but its epidemiology in humans is still unclear, particularly in Southwestern Saudi Arabia. Hence, this study was designed to determine the infection status of Cryptosporidium and the reservoir hosts in southwestern Saudi Arabia community and to recognize the associated risk factors, with evaluating the diagnostic performance of the techniques used.Methods: A total of 576 stool specimens and sera were screened for cryptosporidiosis using modified Ziehl neelsen technique and a newly developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) respectively, between September 2015 and December 2016.Results: Of the 576 samples assayed, 9.5 and 20.8% were positive for Cryptosporidium oocyst and anti-Cryptosporidium antibody, respectively. The seropositivity was positively correlated with age, especially in the age group less than 6 years old. Likewise, the prevalence of Cryptosporidium infections in males was significantly higher than in female counterparts (P < 0.05). The current study revealed that the maximum number of cases, 22.4%, was observed during the months of January to April, indicating marked significant seasonal variation. Sensitivity and specificity of newly developed Elisa technique when compared to acid-fast were 100% and 88.24%, respectively.Conclusions: This is the first study highlighting that Cryptosporidium infections are still an important public health problem in Southwestern Saudi Arabia. Therefore, health education would be the best way to prevent the infections and the serological assays proved to be useful mean to provide more accurate information regarding community levels of Cryptosporidium infection.

Published: June 2017

We propose an alternative processing method for quantitative susceptibility mapping of the prostate that reduces artifacts and enables better visibility and quantification of calcifications and other lesions. Three-dimensional gradient-echo magnetic resonance data were obtained from 26 patients at 3 T who previously received a planning computed tomography of the prostate. Phase images were unwrapped using Laplacian-based phase unwrapping. The background field was removed with the V-SHARP method using tissue masks for the entire abdomen (Method 1) and masks that excluded bone and the rectum (Method 2). Susceptibility maps were calculated with the iLSQR method. The quality of susceptibility maps was assessed by one radiologist and two physicists who rated the data for visibility of lesions and data quality on a scale from 1 (poor) to 4 (good). The readers rated susceptibility maps computed with Method 2 to be, on average, better for visibility of lesions with a score of 2.9 ± 1.1 and image quality with a score of 2.8 ± 0.8 compared with maps computed with Method 1 (2.4 ± 1.2/2.3 ± 1.0). Regarding strong artifacts, these could be removed using adapted masks, and the susceptibility values seemed less biased by the artifacts. Thus, using an adapted mask for background field removal when calculating susceptibility maps of the prostate from phase data reduces artifacts and improves visibility of lesions.

Published: June 2017

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) frequently metastasizes to the liver, and conventional staging computed tomography (CT) protocols use multiphasic contrast enhancement for detection of hepatic lesions. We evaluated the sensitivity of arterial phase CT imaging for hepatic GIST metastases compared with that of standard (portal venous [PV]) phase imaging. We conducted a retrospective review of patients who presented with hepatic GIST metastases identified on staging CT examinations between 2005 and 2015. Arterial and PV phase CT images were randomized and reviewed by 2 radiologists blinded to clinical history, correlative imaging, and number of controls. In total, 32 patients had hepatic metastases identified on multiphasic (arterial and PV) staging CT examinations. There was no significant difference in identification of metastases between arterial and PV phase imaging (31 vs 32, P = .32). Lesion size measurements did not significantly differ (P = .58). Arterial phase CT imaging did not significantly increase the sensitivity for hepatic GIST metastases compared with PV phase imaging alone.
Expression of GPD1 and SIP18 genes during rehydration in active dry industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae cider-making yeast strains (ADY)
Authors: Goncerzewicz Anna , Kamińska-Wojteczek Karolina , Młynarczyk Izabella , Misiewicz Anna
Published: June 2017

In this study we determined the influence of different sugar concentration in media, time of rehydration and type of strain on relative expression level of GPD1 and SIP18 genes of active dry cider-making yeast strains, followed by the assessment of the impact of rehydration on the fermentation process. High expression of SIP18 at the beginning of rehydration was shown to be due to high transcription of the gene during the drying process. High sugar concentrations of media initiated transcription of the GPD1 gene and triggered the cellular glycerol biosynthesis pathway in examined strains. Rehydration time and type of strain showed to have no statistically significant impact on the course of the fermentation; RT qPCR results depended mainly on the time of rehydration and sugar concentration of the medium. This is the first attempt to confront rehydration time and molecular mechanisms acting upon rehydration with the course of the fermentation process.

One of the processes to increase the shelf life of the food products is drying and dehydration. Vegetables may be dried by different methods like solar drying, open sun drying and other mechanical methods so that they can be available during the lean season. In this study, mint was subjected to drying after giving two different treatments and their respective physical and chemical parameters were evaluated. An increase in chlorophyll content, flavonoid content and Vitamin A content was observed in all of the dried samples as they become concentrated source of nutrients. However, a decrease in polyphenol content and Vitamin C content in all of the samples was found. Drying rate of solar dryer was higher than hot air dryer and open sun drying. The aroma of dried mint was maintained in solar dried samples but was lost in hot air dryer and open sun drying.

Authors: Charan S. M. , Gomez Saji , Sheela K. B. , Pushpalatha P. B. , Suman K. T.
Published: June 2017

Passion fruit nectar was developed from yellow and purple passion fruit separately and also by blending both yellow and purple fruits, in different combinations of TSS and juice. It was initially subjected to organoleptic evaluation to determine the best combination of TSS and juice content in nectar. Organoleptic evaluation revealed that passion fruit nectar containing 20% juice and 20°Brix was more acceptable in all the three categories (yellow and purple separately, and yellow blended with purple). Total soluble solids, non-enzymatic browning, reducing, non- reducing and total sugars increased while, titratable acidity, vitamin C, total carotenoids, total phenols and total flavanoids decreased during storage. Organoleptic quality of passion fruit nectar declined during storage in all the treatments. The rate of decline was faster in nectar stored under ambient conditions compared to those stored under refrigerated condition. Microbial load in all the samples was within the acceptable limits even after three months of storage.

Published: June 2017

Examining the life stories of some productive artists; it is seen that they struggle with mental illnesses, intensely deal with the thought of death and they even commit suicide. On the other hand, we believe that art has a curative power. Art therapy is known by physicians, therapists and trainers. Art is also used in various ways for treatment. If the process of creation pulls an artist into a mental illness and thoughts about death, then how does it possibly cure? This text tries to explain the dilemma in question.

Estrutura tecnológica e mudanças climáticas no Brasil: um estudo exploratório a partir de estatísticas de patentes
Authors: Feitosa Paulo Henrique Assis
Published: June 2017

Este artigo analisa a evolução da estrutura tecnológica brasileira em áreas com potencial de mitigação de mudanças climáticas no período pós-Kyoto. A partir da constituição de uma base de dados original com patentes relacionadas às mudanças climáticas, propõe-se interpretar as transformações ocorridas na estrutura da especialização tecnológica do Brasil, bem como a evolução do seu desempenho em comparação a países selecionados. Os resultados da estimação de vantagens tecnológicas relativas mostram que o Brasil não acompanhou a dinâmica internacional e reduziu seu número absoluto de áreas com especialização tecnológica. A aplicação do método de decomposição estrutural revelou que o aumento da sua participação internacional é explicado, em sua maior parte, pelo efeito technology share, ou seja, a parte do crescimento que se deve ao dinamismo da sua atividade patenteadora. Nesse sentido, o país foi capaz de abandonar áreas estagnadas e os resultados seriam ainda mais favoráveis se contasse com uma melhor estrutura de especialização no período inicial.

Modelling of non-linear seismic ground response using elasto-plastic constitutive framework within a finite element soil column model
Authors: Chehat Azeddine , Harichane Zamila , Sadouki Amina
Published: June 2017

The prediction of seismic ground response is conditioned by the knowledge of each material behavior of soil deposits. The recourse to plasticity criterion to simulate cyclic behavior of soils under seismic loading is becoming more realistic. In this study, an elasto-plastic constitutive equation is cast within the framework of one dimensional finite element (FE) soil column model to account for the spatial and material nonlinearity of the secant shear modulus. To account of the spatial non linearity, shear modulus is written in terms of rigid base shear modulus and height of the soil column, while for material nonlinearity, the shear modulus degradation is deducted by the application of the isotropic evolution of the Von Misès criterion. Obtained results proved the efficiency of the proposed methodology and the predictive capability of the elaborated elastoplastic model which captures both small- and large-strain behaviors. They likewise highlight the important roles that play the spatial and material shear modulus variation in the prediction of the seismic soil responses.

Interpersonal Conflict Management– Inevitable but Manageable (with Reference to M/S Karvy Computershare Pvt. Ltd, Hyderabad & M/S Anand Rathi, Bangalore)
Authors: Battu Nagaraju , Kalyan Ram Ch. R.B. Alias
Published: June 2017

Introduction:  A conflict has generally been defined as a situation in which two or more parties strive to acquire the same scarce resources at the same time. Scholars generally agree that there needs to be more than one part to have a conflict, and that the time factor is important. What does cause concern is the term scarce resource.

Objective of the Study:  To examine the effect of strategies adopted for managing interpersonal conflict on organizational performance, to examine the perceptions of the employees in the organization under study and to offer suggestions to minimize the inter-personal conflicts and to improve conducive environment for organizational success

Method of the Study:  The study employed both descriptive survey design and explanatory research design. It targeted a population of 650 employees of purposively selected units under study. A sample size comprising 450 employees from M/s Karvy Computershare and 200 from M/s Anand Rathi were selected using stratified random sampling techniques.

Results of the Study:  Conflict escalation has according to this study it’s foundation in emotional involvement. A person focused conflict has a higher risk of escalation and to evolve towards becoming dysfunctional. Through this study it has been revealed that conflict management can be divided into two areas, prevention of conflicts and management of functional conflicts. Feedback can be counted as preventive tools to help develop employee’s behaviour and to ensure that the opinions and feelings are passed on through controlled communication channels.

Wastewater treatment facility upgrade uses combination of technologies to solve nutrient removal challenges
Authors: Young Thor
Published: June 2017

New regulations required the 7.5 ML/d North East River Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facility to upgrade to meet lower annual average effluent nitrogen and phosphorus limits. At the same time, facility planning was underway to expand the facility to 17.0 ML/d to accommodate planned growth in the service area. Following a pilot study to establish the performance capabilities of the existing process and a technology alternatives evaluation, a combination of a Carrousel® 5-stage oxidation ditches followed by a membrane filtration system was used to convert the facility to a membrane bioreactor. This combination of technologies is unique among the more than 300 facilities recently upgraded for nutrient removal in the Chesapeake Bay region. The new process went into service in late 2015 and has demonstrated the ability to meet effluent performance requirements for total nitrogen and total phosphorus.

Remarks on the Court of Chancery and the Equity System in EnglandSummaryThe Court of Chancery was a significant element in the English judicial system which operated outside the sphere of com m on law. Throughout hundreds o f years, the Court of Chancery developed a unique branch of equity law, which co-existed with the com m on law. This was very similar to the Roman ius civile and the praetorian law. Although the Court was abolished in the 19th century, its jurisdiction is still applied by the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice. The equity law, intended to be a remedy for the strict rules of com m on law, borrowed much from the Roman law. M any chancellors and masters in Chancery, having obtained a D. C. L or LL. D degree were open to adopt Rom an law rules into the C ourt’s practice. In the opinion of some scholars, some of the equity rules were borrowed from the Rom an law, like trust (fideicomissum) or elements of mortgage (equity o f redemption). M any „rules of equity” have also their origin in the Roman jurisprudence.

International Responsibility of the Soviet Union for its Illegal Actions against Poland between 1939 and 1945SummaryThe author of the paper comes to a conclusion that many actions concerning Poland taken by the Soviet Union during The Second World War constituted an abuse of power. The Soviet U nion invaded Poland and illegally occupied its Eastern territories until 1945. As a result of the aggression, hundreds of thousands of Polish soldiers and citizens were killed or persecuted.At the end of The Second W orld W ar decisions concerning Poland were taken at inter-Allied conferences w ithout Poland’s participation. The Great Powers decided to deprive Poland of its Eastern territories against the will of the Polish Government-in-exile, which was legal at that time. W hat is more, Poland was not a signatory of the Jalta and Potsdam agreements. Therefore, the decisions referring to Polish Eastern border should be invalidAs far as the problem of a new Polish government is concerned, it is necessary to stress that according to international law a change of a government in a particular state should take place w ithout any external interference. Nevertheless, the Soviet U nion decided to create a new government for Poland to replace the legal government-in-exile. As a consequence, the Provisional Government of National Unity was created., It consisted mostly of communists who were dependent on the Soviet Union. Many o f them were Soviet spies. They were able to gain power only as a result of the Soviet military intervention in Poland. The government did not represent Polish society and was created against its will. The Soviet U nion did not have the right to impose this sort of government on Poland.The problem of reconciliation between Poland and Russia is also approached in the paper. During the Second World War Polish state and its citizens suffered great losses. Neither the Soviet U nion nor Russia has ever assumed responsibility for the Soviet U nion’s illegal actions against Poland and its citizens between 1939 and 1945. In such circumstances any sort of reconciliation cannot take place.

The Scope of Agreements’ Admissibility in Criminal ProceedingsSummaryThe principle of investigation in the Polish criminal proceedings has consolidated The preparatory proceedings are even ruled thereby.The situation seems better in the stage of court proceedings. Nevertheless, contentiousness is still exceptional in criminal proceedings. This is going to be changed by agreements reached in the course of criminal proceedings.The agreements concluded in criminal proceedings are settlements between different parties of the same trial (horizontal agreements) or agreements between one party to the criminal proceedings and a judicial body conducting those proceedings (vertical agreements). The notion of ‘agreements’ in criminal proceedings m ust be understood widely. They are agreements which result from any possible activity o f the said subjects aimed at working out a com m on position in any matter of the proceedings, viz not only those aimed at settling issues of criminal liability and sanction (submission to penalty, conviction w ithout first-instance hearing, voluntary submission to criminalliability, mediation etc.) but also those concerned with incidental problems (safe-conduct, bails, im m unity witness etc.). These agreements can be divided into the following types: formal ones (resulting from rules o f practice), informal (resulting from rules o f substantive law) and para-formal (not specified in legal regulations).The model of an agreement in criminal proceedings originates from the consensual method of judgment penetrating into the continental system of law from the sphere of common law. This tendency shows a graduał withdrawal from the traditional retaliatory function of criminal proceedings in favour of compensation. The new possibilities are conducive both to the parties’ interests as well as the economics of the proceedings. Moreover, the agreements allow the State to gradually cease to dom inate in the sphere of criminal proceedings. Notwithstanding the above the agreements in question are still scarce in the hitherto formalized practice of criminal proceedings.
Efficient Adsorptive Removal of Toxic Amaranth Dye from Water using a Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework
Authors: Lin Kun‐Yi Andrew , Wu Chang‐Husan
Published: June 2017

Adsorbents reported to remove a toxic acidic azo dye, Amaranth (AMR) are very limited, and their typical adsorption capacities are quite low. Recently, a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF‐67) has been proposed as a novel adsorbent as ZIF‐67 possesses high surface area, superior chemical stability in water and positive charges, making it a promising adsorbent for AMR. Nevertheless, no studies have been conducted to investigate the adsorption of AMR to ZIF‐67. Herein, ZIF‐67 is employed for the first time to remove AMR from water via adsorption. Adsorption behaviors are investigated via determining the adsorption kinetics and isotherm. ZIF‐67 also exhibits a significant higher maximum adsorption capacity (qmax = 121 mg g−1 at 30 °C) than most of the reported adsorbents. ZIF‐67 can be also regenerated by washing it with NaCl solutions and the regeneration efficiency remains effective over multiple cycles, demonstrating that ZIF‐67 is a promising adsorbent for AMR.

Medicinal plants contain substances can alternate the traditional chemical preservatives which used for preserving meat products that have negative effects on consumer health. Several biological activities have been reported for Artemisia and Portulaca as antimicrobial agents, so the current study focused on using Artemisia and Portulaca extracts as antimicrobial agents in beef burger. Phytochemical of Artemisia and Portulaca extracts were analyzed, and both extracts contain alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, trepenoids and saponin. The results show that Artemisia extract was inhibited all tested microorganisms (Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes and E.coli O157:H7) while, Portulaca extract affect Staphylococcus aureus only. The Minimum Cidal Concentration (MCC) and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) were carried out for testing microorganisms, since Artemisia extract was very effective against Staphylococcus aureus followed by E.coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella Typhimurium and L. monocytogenes. Artemisia and Portulaca extracts were separately applied in beef burger as antimicrobials at levels 1% and 1.5%. The sensory evaluation of treated beef burger showed no significant differences between control sample and treatments containing Portulaca extract while, the addition of Artmesia extract had a detrimental effect on taste of beef burger since it causes formation of bitter taste.

Examining dental students’ career development plans contributes to understanding of their professional expectations and planning of human resource for health within a health system. This study aimed to investigate the career development plans of Dental students at the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS). A cross-sectional study was performed by utilizing self-administered questionnaires, as data collecting tools. The questionnaires were distributed to all Dental students who participated in the study in 2014 (n=100). In the survey, students were asked about their socio-demographic characteristics, career development plans, future intensions and their areas of choice for their future career. The survey revealed that most students had decisive thoughts and sufficient knowledge about their future career. Majority of the students planned to practice as Dental professionals in Tanzania (39%), particularly in urban areas (chosen by 83%). Also, many students (72%) preferred to become prospective clinical scientists, especially in the fields of “Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery” and “Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics”. In the survey, the role of socio-demographic factors on students’ career development plans was also identified. Where, most female students compared to males reported that they prefer to work in urban areas. Additionally, many older students than younger ones favored to pursue clinical sciences in future. Although this study showed various perspectives regarding career development plans of Dental students in Tanzania, Universities need to ascertain professional counseling sessions and mentorship programs so that most students will be able to make informed decisions on their future career. Ultimately, the understanding of Dental students’ career development plans will facilitate planning of human resource for oral health and ensure their availability in many areas of Tanzania.

Objetivo: La osteoporosis es común en las personas con el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH). La etiología es multifactorial, involucrando factores de riesgo tradicionales, efectos directos de la infección por el VIH y efectos de los medicamentos antiretrovirales (ARV).Las nuevas evidencias sugieren que el aumento de la prevalencia de la osteoporosis en las personas infectadas por el VIH se traduce en un mayor riesgo de fractura que puede conducir al aumento de morbilidad y mortalidad.Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en 180 pacientes, que permitió conocer los trastornos de baja masa ósea que presentaban los pacientes estudiados que recibían terapia ARV. Para la medición se usó el método DXA (Dual Energy X RayAbsorptiometry) de columna lumbar y cuello femoral y para la clasificación los criterios de la OMS .Resultados: Se evaluaron 180 pacientes, 76,5% fueron hombres, con un promedio de edad de 41± 11,27 años. Resultaron normales 72,6%, Osteopenia 20,6% y osteoporosis en el 6,7%. El análisis multivariado mostró una asociación significativa importante de la Nevirapina frente a la disminución de la masa ósea (OR 0,10 IC95% 0,01 - 0,8).Conclusiones: Se hace necesario realizar tamizaje DXA a los pacientes que reciben TAR, para realizar un diagnóstico y tratamiento temprano y evitar complicaciones óseas que alteren la calidad de vida de las personas con VIH.
