Published: November 2023

The application of carrot pomace powder (CPP) in various foods can ensure the utilization
of by-products produced from carrot processing industries as well as improve the
nutritional quality of the formulated product. The quality of several composite pieces of
bread was assessed using physical, chemical, microbiological, and sensory methods. The
crude fibre content (13.09%), ash content (6.71%), water holding capacity (5.93 g/g),
water retention capacity (4.67 g/g) and swelling capacity (11.50 mL/g) of CPP were
significantly higher (p<0.05) than wheat flour whereas, oil absorption capacity (2.03 mL/
g) and bulk density (0.23 g/mL) of CPP stayed lower than wheat flour. Besides,
antioxidant (52.23%), β-carotene (1.17 mg/100 g) and phenolic content (0.48 mg GAE/g)
were found more in bread incorporated with 10% CPP than in other formulated breads
(5%, 15% and 20%) and control sample (0%). The addition of carrot pomace powder with
wheat flour in composite bread enhances better nutritional value and look of the bread by
giving it a more appealing hue as well as a better taste and flavor but reduces the specific
volume and springiness. The bread containing 10% CPP had a higher overall acceptance,
good physical properties with better nutritional quality compared to other formulations
and was equivalent to the control sample. These findings support the use of low-cost byproducts like CPP as a useful functional additive for enhancing the nutritional value of
composite bread and it can be commercially exploited.

Published: November 2023

Plants are rich sources of secondary metabolites and oils which are of medicinal
importance. At present, the level of acceptance of herbal medicines is increasing and
replacing modern medicines due to the plant safety, efficiency, low cost and availability
throughout the world. Leaves of Ocimum sanctum (Linn) have been proven to possess anti
-diabetic effects in experimental animals, but the mechanism of anti-diabetic remains
indeterminate. Research has been conducted to investigate the total phenolic content and
anti-diabetic activity of Ocimum sanctum (Linn) dried and fresh leaves in three different
extracts. A correlation between the total phenolic content and anti-diabetic activity was
established. Three types of extracts, cold water, methanol and chloroform of dried and
fresh leaves of Ocimum sanctum (Linn), were prepared by evaporating the extraction
solvent at 40°C except for cold water extract at 50°C. Stock solutions of 10 mg/mL of
each type of extract were prepared using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The folin-ciocalteu
method was used to determine total phenolic content, while 3, 5-dinitro salicylic acid
(DNS) method was used to determine α-amylase inhibition activity by different extracts of
dried and fresh leaves. Generally, all the extracts of dried leaves of Ocimum sanctum
(Linn) contain more total phenolic content and show the highest α-amylase inhibition
activity as compared to fresh leaves. The highest total phenolic content and α-amylase
inhibition activity were found in the methanol extracts of both dried and fresh leaves. The
total phenolic content in methanol extracts of dried and fresh leaves was 0.780 mg and
0.700 mg GAE/g extract, respectively. While the percentage of inhibition of methanol
extracts for dried and fresh leaves were 47% and 39.3%, respectively. The IC50 of
methanol extracts of dried and fresh leaves were determined using different concentrations
of methanol extracts of fresh and dried leaves (3, 6, 9, 12 mg/mL). Increasing the
concentration of Ocimum sanctum (Linn) dried and fresh leaves decrease the activity of αamylase. The amount of dried and fresh leaves required to inhibit 50% of α-amylase
activity was 10.4 and 11.8 mg/mL, respectively. A positive correlation was found between
total phenolic content and α-amylase inhibition activity using Pearson correlation in SPSS
16.0 for dried and fresh leaves with R2
= 0.994 and R2
= 0.991, respectively. In
conclusion, the methanol extract of Ocimum sanctum (Linn) dried leaves has a good
potential to be used as an anti-diabetic agent.
Effect of black jelly mushroom (Auricularia polytricha) and olive oil as fat
replacers on the physicochemical and microstructural properties of chicken
meat emulsion
Authors: M.R. Faridah , Salman N.A. , A.B. Asyrul Izhar , S.Z.A. Siti Aimi , M.S. Ismail-Fitry
Published: November 2023

Black jelly mushroom (BJM) is particularly low in fat, high in fibre, and packed with
many antioxidants, antimicrobials and minerals while having unique soaking
characteristics and a gel-like texture, while olive oil (OO) contains high monounsaturated
fatty acids where both have the potential to be used as fat replacers in meat products. This
study evaluated the effect of the replacement of chicken skin (CS) at various percentages
(0%, 25%, 50% and 100%) of black jelly mushroom and olive oil on the physicochemical
and microstructural properties of chicken meat emulsion. Emulsions with 100% CS
(Control), 50% CS + 50% OO, 50% CS + 50% BJM, 50% CS + 25% OO + 25% BJM,
100% OO and 100% BJM were developed. The pH value, cooking loss, protein content,
carbohydrate content, textural properties and shear force of all fat-replaced samples were
comparable to the control. The most positive results were demonstrated in the emulsion
with 100% BJM, which had lower fat content (1.31±0.84%) and better emulsion stability
(%TEF:7.97±4.16%, %EFAT:12.97±6.53%), water-holding capacity (86.67±3.06%), and
moisture content (76.69±2.13%). The colour profiles of the BJM-incorporated samples
had higher redness and the OO-incorporated sample had higher lightness and yellowness.
The micrographs revealed a harmonious distribution of fat droplets and mushroom
particles in all samples' protein matrices. In conclusion, the black jelly mushroom is
capable to be used as a fat replacer in producing low-fat meat emulsion, and its
incorporation at 100% level has the highest potential.

Published: November 2023

Shiitake and brown button mushrooms have high protein and fibre content and can
potentially be utilised as a fat replacer in meat products like meatballs. Meanwhile,
different mixing times during meatball manufacturing may also influence product quality.
The present work investigated the physicochemical, microstructure and sensory properties
of fat-replaced meatballs with shiitake (Lentinula edodes) and brown button mushroom
(Agaricus bisporus) processed at different mixing times (5, 10 or 20 min) using bowlcutter. No differences (p<0.05) were found for the linear expansion, water holding
capacity, texture profile analysis and Warner Bratzler for both types of mushrooms and
mixing times. Shiitake meatballs mixed at 20 min have a higher (p<0.05) cooking yield
while the total soluble protein is higher (p<0.05) regardless of any mixing time. The
redness (a*) value of shiitake meatballs increases (p<0.05) as the mixing time increases.
Microstructure images showed improved surface compositions of meatballs as the mixing
time increased. Nevertheless, brown button meatballs with a mixing time of 20 min have
the highest (p<0.05) scores in terms of texture and juiciness. In conclusion, both shiitake
and brown button mushrooms are suitable to be used as fat replacers but a longer mixing
time produced better quality meatballs.

Published: November 2023

Sugarcane is normally a twelve months crop. In this Province it is generally planted from February to April and harvested during the same months of the following year. Thus planting and harvesting. synchronise. After the introduction of Coimbatore seedling canes, types that mature in 10 months, or those that can stand in the field for over 12 months without deterioration, have come into cultivation, especially in the areas covered by sugar factories. Under such conditions, planting and harvesting may not generally synchronise due to cultivation of early and late types. It is within the experience of the ryots that if sets are planted prior to January, during the cold months, germination and growth are very poor; and if planting is delayed upto or after May low yields are recorded. Therefore irrespective of the period of harvest, planting is to be done during the months of February to April and for this purpose there is a great need to devise suitable methods to enable the ryots to preserve the sets, for a maximum period of two months and thus overcome the problem.

Published: November 2023

The objective of this study was to investigate oxidative stress parameters in plasma, liver, and brain of Sprague Dawley rats grown under a compact fluorescent lamp with purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, and white. For this purpose, 56 male and 56 female rats were housed in standard cages under seven different light colors from weaning until puberty. Malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in plasma, liver, and brain were examined as oxidative stress parameters. Two factors which are gender and light were investigated regarding the main effects by Two-way ANOVA with the General Linear Model procedure. The different light spectrums had a significant impact on MDA, GSH and, GPx of plasma, liver, and brain (P<0.05). The red group resulted the highest in plasma, liver, and brain MDA. In addition, some of the examined parameters were different for the gender basis. The plasma GSH, the liver MDA, the liver and brain GPx were different in male and female rats (P<0.05). Only the liver GPx enzyme activity was higher in male rats, the other parameters in the female rats had a higher value. In conclusion, low-wavelength lights may be more useful for rats’ environments when compared to high wavelengths in manner oxidative stress. However, illumination is not the sole phenomenon for raising animals. Environmental demands may vary from time to time and even according to gender. Moreover, it may be useful for studies to be conducted by considering other lighting factors such as intensity and cycle.

Published: November 2023

In recent years, lifestyle changes, heavy diets, and environmental shifts have led to a notable increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Hridroga, the collective term for heart-related illnesses in Ayurveda, has become increasingly common as a result. CVDs encompass a wide range of heart and blood vessel disorders, including coronary heart disease, heart attacks, cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke, hypertension, peripheral artery disease, rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, and heart failure. Ayurveda attributes heart-related disorders primarily to imbalances in the three doshas, and restoring their equilibrium poses a complex challenge in treating CVDs. Herbal remedies have played an integral role in human healthcare throughout history, with various traditional medical systems employing them for treating numerous ailments. Ayurveda stands as one of the oldest and globally recognized traditional systems of medicine. This review paper explores the pivotal role of Ayurveda in preventing, managing, and assessing CVDs through interventions related to diet (Ahara), lifestyle (Vihara), seasonal routines (Ritucharya), yoga, daily routines (Dinacharya), and rejuvenation therapies (Rasayana). The paper sheds light on how Ayurveda's holistic approach addresses the root causes of CVDs, offering valuable insights into preventive strategies, lifestyle modifications, and herbal interventions. By synthesizing traditional knowledge with contemporary scientific understanding, this review aims to provide a comprehensive perspective on the potential of Ayurveda in combating the rising burden of cardiovascular diseases in modern society.

Onion is among the important vegetable crops commercially grown both by large and small scale farmers in Ethiopia as well as Arba Minch area. Its seed production (high seed yield and quality) depends on a number of factors such as planting date, bulb size, varieties, soil fertility, growing environments, plant population and adequate plant protection measures. Among these factors, planting time, varieties and growing environment are believed to have a remarkable influence on seed production of onion. The main objective of this study is to determine appropriate planting time for onion seed production and to select high seed yielder onion variety. Mother bulb was produced during June to August and the bulbs are stored in diffused light storage (DLS) about 3o days. Field experiment was conducted in Gamo Zone, Mirab Abaya woreda for two successive years (2021 - 2022) using spacing of 40cm x 20cm in Plot size of 3m x 2m.The experiment consisted of two varieties (Bombay red & Nafis) and four planting times (Mid September, Early October, Late October & Early November) in completely randomized block design in factorial arrangement replicated three times. ANOVA revealed that highly significant differences among treatments (P<0.01) were observed for most characters studied. Mean performance of combined result indicated that variety Bombay red planted in mid October gave highest seed yield (1178.3 kg/ha) whereas the lowest seed yield was recorded from the same variety planted at early October (415.0 kg/ha). Therefore, variety mid October is recommended as a suitable planting time of seed production for variety Bombay red and to be popularized in the study area for better onion seed yield production.

Published: November 2023

Gestational hypertensive disorder (GHD) is among the major health problems in pregnant women. In this study, we assessed the relationship between gestational hypertensive disorder and ABO blood groups among women who attended the antenatal clinic at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Abuja, Nigeria. Correlational study design was used on a total of 138 patients with sociodemographic characteristics and clinical data such as blood group, gestational hypertensive disorder status, maternal age at pregnancy, and parity were extracted. Descriptive statistics was carried out on the collected data and chi-square test for the test of association or Fisher’s exact where necessary. The maternal age of the women ranged from fifteen to fifty-one years old with a mean age of 30.7 ± 9.8. Clinical information revealed that 17 (12.3%) primigravida and 121 (87.7%) non-primigravida patients. The patients’ distribution by blood group revealed that 33 (23.9%), 32 (23.2%), 47 (34.1%) and 26 (18.8%) belonged to blood group A, B, AB, and O respectively. Our results showed a relationship between blood pressure and the ABO blood group but not significant with χ2 = 12.31 and p = 0.421 with blood pressure of 150/100–154/104 mmHg ranked highest in frequency among all the blood groups. Also, we observed a non- significant relationship between maternal age and the occurrence of GHD at χ2 =19.81 and p = 0.229 which implies that GHD is not associated with age but that blood pressure increases with gestational age. Interestingly, a significant relationship exists between gestational hypertension and parity at χ2 = 26.71 and p = 0.045. Blood group AB was more susceptible to gestational hypertensive disorder whereas blood groups O, A and B were less susceptible to it. We recommend increased awareness of GHD among pregnant women, all health workers, and the general public about its danger to pregnant mothers and fetuses.
Industrial Cannabis sativa: Hemp oil for biodiesel production
Authors: Ravindra B. Malabadi  , Kiran P. Kolkar  , Raju K. Chalannavar
Published: November 2023

This review paper highlights the production of biodiesel from hemp seed oil via transesterification reaction. Hemp seeds present a viable feedstock option for biodiesel production. This is demonstrated by the plants high yield, ability to grow on infertile soil, resilience to disease and bugs. Hemp biodiesel performs well in biodiesel blends. Hemp biodiesel yield was calculated at 207 gallons/ha. This is higher than the yield of biodiesel from rapeseed and soybeans oils but lower than that of palm oil. Hemp biodiesel can meet ASTM D6751 and EN 14214 requirements. Hemp biodiesel exhibit poor kinematic viscosity and oxidation stability. However, this can easily be improved with the use of additives. Dilution/blending, micro-emulsification, pyrolysis, and trans-esterification are the four techniques applied to solve the problems encountered with the high fuel viscosity. Hemp biodiesel provides substantial environmental benefits. The amount of emission reduction corresponds roughly to the biodiesel blend rating of the fuel. Hemp biodiesel may be used an alternative to the highly controversial biodiesel produced from palm oil. Hemp faces many perception and legal challenges that prevent wide-scale production of hemp seed oil. Hemp remains a niche crop in the food supply chains, rendering it prohibitively expensive as a feedstock in biodiesel production. Legalization and increased production of hemp oil may improve the cost of producing hemp oil and subsequently hemp biodiesel.

Authors: Prahallada Mayakonda Basavarajappa  , Smitha vishwanath Sajjan  , Manjunatha Hirekeri Malleshappa
Published: November 2023

This paper proposes a new demand response algorithm for load shedding and direct load control in smart homes with the goal of lowering peak-to-average ratios and enhancing power balance. The suggested algorithm makes use of two-way communication between distribution agents and smart homes (customers) to provide real-time load control, calculate percentage reductions, and produce distributed load consumption factors. An agent-based residential distribution network with four customers who owned smart appliances was modeled in MATLAB/SIMULINK to validate the technique. The findings show that the residential network is capable of reacting swiftly to supply changes and managing the grid's power balance through distributed load reduction, load shifting, and/or load adjustment, avoiding or limiting load shedding in the event of supply shortages.

In France metropolitan, 5 182 000 people have hearing loss (8.7% of the population), of which 4.1% are under 20 years of age. In children, hearing impairment is sought in the presence of depression, hyperactivity, impulsivity, instability accompanied by intense anger, and aggressive behavior. So far, the impact of dance and music on deaf people has been little studied. In this context, we recently initiated a project in mediated therapeutic workshops; Devoted to hearing-impaired adolescents or young adults with behavioral problems. The main objective of this project is to foster the adaptability of these young people with severe behavior problems. Protocol: 4 volunteers with moderate to profound deafness were included in this prospective study (2 F and 2 M, aged 19.5 ± 5.0 years). These patients exhibited daily behavioral disorders with stereotypies and aggressiveness with moderate to severe intensity according to the Behavior Problems Inventory (BPI-01). These young people attended weekly sessions lasting more than 12 months at the Music / Percussion Workshop in the presence of an instructor and nurse therapist. Outcome and Discussion: No voluntary withdrawal of the project was recorded. A very strong behavioral improvement was noted in 3/4 of the cases and a slight improvement in 1/4 of the cases. This study has shown that hearing loss is compensated by various adaptive processes, in particular by multi sensorial interactivity (such as the interactivity between touch and vision) and through mirror neuronal system. Conclusion: This study showed hearing impaired people are sensitive and receptive to the sound world and to rhythmic movement. This finding has been put to the benefit of rehabilitation through Music and Dance Therapies which has improved the behavioral disorder and blossoming of the group rehabilitation through Music and Dance Therapies of young people suffering from medium to profound deafness with severe behavior problems.

The emergence of Covid 19 has devastated the performance of Micro. Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) including in Kendal Regency. Through the People's Market application. it is hoped that it can encourage the performance of MSMEs after the pandemic. However. the problem that occurs is that users of the People's Market application in MSME players are still low which can hinder growth and competitiveness in the digitalization era. This study aims to analyze the behavior of MSME players in adopting the People's Market application in Kendal Regency through the integration of the Theory Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). This research is a causality study using seven main variables tested from the TAM and TPB models. namely: perceived benefits; perceived ease of use; attitude in adopting the People's Market application; subjective norms; perceived behavioral control; behavioral intention in adopting the People's Market application; and actual behavior. The sample of this study used a purposive sampling method with a total sample that met the criteria of 231 respondents. The data was obtained from distributing questionnaires via google form. The data were statistically tested through the AMOS program. The results showed that perceived benefits and perceived ease of use affect attitudes. Attitude affects the behavioral intention of traders in adopting the People's Market application. However. subjective norms and perceived behavioral control have no significant effect on behavioral intentions. The results also prove that behavioral intentions can encourage merchants to carry out actual behavior in adopting the People's Market application.
Attention-based Deep Learning Approaches in Brain Tumor Image Analysis: A Mini Review
Authors: Saraei Mohammadreza , Liu Sidong
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Accurate diagnosis is crucial for brain tumors, given their low survival rates and high treatment costs. However, traditional methods relying on manual interpretation of medical images are time-consuming and prone to errors. Attention-based deep learning, utilizing deep neural networks to selectively focus on relevant features, offers a promising solution.Material and Methods: This paper presents an overview of recent advancements in attention-based deep learning for brain tumor image analysis. While the reviewed models have demonstrated respectable performance across different datasets, they have yet to achieve state-of-the-art results.Results: Advanced techniques, including super-resolution image reconstruction, multi-swin-transformer blocks, and spatial group-wise enhanced attention blocks, have shown improved segmentation network performance. Integration of graph attention, swin-transformer, and gradient awareness minimization with positional attention convolution blocks, self-attention blocks, and intermittent fully connected layers has considerably enhanced the efficiency of classification networks.Conclusion: While attention-based deep learning has shown improvements in performance, challenges persist. These challenges include the requirement for large datasets, resource limitations, accurate segmentation of irregularly shaped tumors, and high computational demands. Future studies should address these challenges to further enhance the efficiency of brain tumor diagnoses in real-world settings.

Print parameters are factors that influence the mechanical strength of 3D printed objects. Based on a literature review, the parameters of layer thickness, printing speed, and fill geometry percentage value influence the mechanical strength of 3D printed objects. This study focuses on a combination of robust 3D printing parameters for designing CNC router machine gears. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of printing parameters on the mechanical strength of tensile loads on 3D printed objects. From the experimental results, it was found that by providing a combination of layer thickness parameters, printing speed parameters, and fill percentage parameters, it has an effect on the mechanical strength resistance of 3D printed objects to accept tensile loads. From the research it was found that the ideal layer thickness parameter of 0.1 to 0.2 mm does not exceed half the size of the nozzle diameter of 0.4 mm to produce fine raster fibers. From the research it was found that the ideal speed parameter for printing gears with ABS filament material is at speed 30 mm/s to 50 mm/s to produce a stable raster fiber size and the percentage parameter of a good fill for printing gears is at a value of 20% to 40%. The results of the research found the best printing parameters for printing gears with a print parameter formula with a 3D print parameter formula layer height 0.15mm, gyroid infill 20%, with a speed of 30mm/s maximum tensile strength reaching 30.7 MPa with the results of wheel loading simulation analysis gear is able to withstand a maximum workload of 85 Kg

Innovations related to fluidization systems using fluidized bed reactor are still needed to be developed in order to improve the fluidization process services for particle in order to produce the right fluid pressure in certain fluidized bed spaces that are currently operating. In this research, the pressurized fluid in question is air sourced from a compressor which has been arranged in such a way. The aim of the research is to obtain information regarding the characteristics of bubble resulting from the air pressure process pressing fluidized system particle. The research method was carried out by experimenting with testing fluidized bed reactor as test model in the form 8 hole, providing air pressure from compressor then observing the characteristics visually. The results of this visually documented research have been carried out and obtained. By using the number of hole 8 with height silica sand inserted to height of 25 cm, which is measured from the beginning of the hole plate before pressure is applied. After being given high pressure the bed increased to 27.6 cm, the highest bubble diameter was obtained at the input air pressure of 8 bar, which was 3.9 cm, with bed silica sand produced 26.1 cm, where the babble condition began to appear after the 9th second. Other characteristics also obtained reactor temperature of 25.45 °C where this condition is the smallest when compared to other pressure input results, this is because the small input pressure causes the temperature to be low, while the large pressure input temperature becomes higher due to many factor, including friction between silica sand, silica sand collisions, and faster movement of particle material.
