Published: March 2024

Diuretics are widely used in current clinical practice to increase urine production and excrete electrolytes, particularly sodium and chloride ions, without affecting the absorption of protein, vitamins, carbohydrates, or amino acids. From the time of mercury chloride and organomercurials in ancient times to now (with sulphonamides, thiazides, and furosemide), a lot has changed in the field of diuretics. However, long-term use of such synthetic diuretic agents in clinical practice produces several adverse effects, such as blurred vision, loss of appetite, stomach upset, carcinomas, headaches, phototoxic impact, weakness., etc., as has been observed from recent investigations. Natural regimens can serve as potential alternatives to using nontoxic diuretic agents. Based on long-term ethnomedicinal and biological activity records, we have explored the diuretic effects of the widely known perennial herb in Pacific Islands regions and a weed in agricultural fields, Eleusine indica (L) Gaertn phytoconstituents, on a computation platform. Therefore, we conducted a bio-assay-guided crude extraction using ethanol, followed by further gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses of the extracted crude extracts. Further selected nine constituents (EI_1 to EI_9) carried out the diuretic potency against three putative target enzymes (ACE, KCNJ1, and SLC12A1) along with three standard drugs (VU590, TSM, and FSM) through molecular docking studies using AutoDock 4.2 software. We also predict physicochemical profiles, or Lipinski Rule of Five profiles, toxicity, and pharmacokinetics using various bioinformatics and cheminformatics tools. Based on the overall investigation, it was revealed that EI_6 [Z, Z-6,28-Heptatriacontadien-2-one] was the most potential, nontoxic, and drug-able candidate. In summary, advanced computational tools play a crucial role in selecting potential preclinical candidates within limited resources to accelerate the current drug discovery process.

Published: March 2024

Smart farming technologies enable farmers to use resources like water, fertilizer and pesticides as efficiently as possible. This paper discusses how Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) pictures can be used to automatically detect and count tassels, thereby advancing the advancement of strategic maize planting. The real state of affairs in cornfields is complicated, though, and the current algorithms struggle to provide the speed and accuracy required for real-time detection. This research employed a sizable, excellent dataset of maize tassels to solve this problem. This paper suggests using the bottom-hat-top-hat preprocessing technique to address the lighting irregularities and noise in maize photos taken by drones. The Lightweight weight-stacked hourglass Network (LS-HGNet) model is suggested for classification. The hourglass network structure of LS-HGNet, which is mostly utilised as a backbone network, has allowed significant advancements in the discovery of maize tassels. In light of this, the current work suggests a lighter variant of the hourglass network that also enhances the accuracy of tassel detection in maize plants. The additional skip connections used in the new hourglass network architecture allow minimal changes to the number of network parameters while improving performance. Consequently, the suggested LS-HGNet classifier lowers the computational burden and increases the convolutional receptive field. The hyperparameter tuning process is then carried out using the Sooty Tern Optimisation Algorithm (STOA), which helps increase tassel detection accuracy. Numerous tests were conducted to verify that the suggested approach is more accurate at 98.7% and more efficient than the most advanced techniques currently in use.
Annular Beam Driven Metamaterial Backward Wave Oscillator
Authors: Vengurlekar Jyoti , Saxena Ayush
Published: March 2024

Metamaterials (MTMs) are synthetic materials designed to have characteristics that "may not be readily available in nature," such as negative permittivity, reversed Doppler Effect, reversed Cherenkov Effect, and negative Refractive Index. These characteristics have motivated researchers to analyze and investigate the use of MTMs for modelling high-power microwave (HPM) radiation sources. One of the most potential HPM sources is an annular beam-driven Backward-Wave Oscillator (BWO) based on the Cerenkov mechanism. The devices that use the Cerenkov mechanism are preferred due to their larger bandwidth. Its high output power and repetition operations make it a promising source. In this paper, an annular beam-loaded metamaterial BWO is simulated in order to investigate and comment on the possibility of metamaterial or metamaterial-inspired structures replacing the slow-wave structures (SWSs) in vacuum tube devices. Performance parameters of several BWO configurations loaded with different metamaterial-inspired conductor rings are compared to rippled SWS-based BWOs. The results suggest that fewer metamaterial rings with solid cross-section (CS) inside the BWO lead to a closer match in generated output power and frequency with the output power generated using a rippled SWS.
Exploring the Potency of Antiviral Marine Alkaloids Against Japanese encephalitis and Ebola virus: A Computational-Based Assessment for Drug Repurposing Applications
Authors: Ali Md. Sajid
Published: March 2024

In the twenty-first century, there have been a number of outbreaks, beginning with dengue, swine flu, Nipah, Ebola, chikungunya, and Zika, which were continuously outbreaks in some specific regions. The mosquito-transmitted flavivirus Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus, similar to dengue fever and West Nile viruses, and the negative-single-stranded Ebola virus (EBOV) are the two most emerging and the WHO's most-prioritized diseases. Natural products have always served as an alternative to mainstream drugs in emergencies. Thus, due to their excellent antiviral activity, the present study focused on marine alkaloids and assessed their potency against the JE and EBOV viruses. Using various bioinformatics tools, we selected 60 different antiviral marine alkaloids for anti-JE activity against RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (PDB ID: 4HDG), NS3-helicase (PDB ID: 2Z83), and NS5-protease (PDB ID: 4K6M), as well as anti-EBOV efficacy targeting nucleoprotein (PDB ID: 4Z9P), viral protein 24 (PDB ID: 4M0Q), and viral protein 40 (PDB ID: 3TCQ). Based on previous antiviral records with combined molecular docking scores, physicochemical, toxicity, pharmacokinetic, and drug-ability profiles, the researchers concluded that manzamines A, F, and X with 6-deoxymanzamine X and 8-hydroxymanzamine may be the best among all 60 candidates for JE and EV infection control. In summary, marine alkaloids exhibit excellent antiviral potency and need to be explored as more bioactive marine candidates for mainstream drug discovery, where bioinformatics tools are a more cost-effective, resource-efficient, and time-saving platform than traditional drug discovery modules to locate most lead candidates to be used in mainstream medicine for emerging health conditions.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of Orthosiphon stamineus extract on gene expression in NRK-52E cells under conditions of glucotoxicity. Gene expression analysis using RT-PCR was conducted following exposure of cultured NRK-52E cells to glucotoxic conditions and various concentrations of Orthosiphon stamineus extract. The results revealed a dose-dependent decrease in HIF-1α, ET-1 and VEGFR-2 gene expression levels upon treatment with Orthosiphon stamineus extract. The diverse array of phytochemicals found within Orthosiphon demonstrates a significant impact on the biochemical pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of the disease. Additionally, molecular docking studies suggested the potential inhibition of Rho-kinase as a mechanistic explanation for this observed effect. These findings suggest that Orthosiphon stamineus extract may possess renoprotective properties against glucotoxicity-induced cellular damage. This study contributes to understanding potential therapeutic interventions for managing renal complications associated with conditions such as diabetes.

Emphasis on the study of whether single or double-layer layers of coatings save energy reflection and improve absorption is done leading to energy conservation. The anti-reflective coating is a familiar term in the solar technology, as it is less realistic without the coating that minimizes the light reflection losses. By way of single or double coating, light transmission increased is by limiting reflection therefore making the surfaces of solar cells to receive more light improving efficiency. These finer details of the coating's power over the solar cells' light absorption depth and output effectiveness are thoughtfully and minutely deliberated. A great deal of numerical methods are used to model light and sunlight impinging on the coated solar cell environments. Light waves' behaviour, when meet an antireflection layer, is a very important aspect in explaining, to some extent, about the thickness of the layer and its materials composition. That is a great role, namely, statistical techniques in this study whose purpose is used to main performance gain in the solar cells. Through simulation and experimental data, correlations are established between solar cell performance and the coating’s parameters. The patterns found will be taken into consideration to further improve the coating.

Optimization and Statistical Analysis for an Independent Microgrid Operation through an Innovative Fusion of Demand Response Programs
Authors: Sunil Kumar Gupta Rekha Swami,
Published: March 2024

Microgrid operations face increased difficulty due to the unpredictability of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind. To address this challenge, energy storage devices are widely employed. Another method to enhance the safety and dependability of microgrids is the Demand Response Program (DRP), which lowers peak demand and shifts it to off-peak times.

In an effort to reduce overall operating expenses, this paper employs several DRPs to solve the Unit Commitment Economic Dispatch (UCED) problem for a self-sufficient microgrid. To enhance both the operation and financial effectiveness of the microgrid, a novel combination of DRPs is presented in this article. Ultimately, users will benefit from this combination.

The modeling of DRPs is based on consumer benefit and price elasticity models. The UCED issue is formulated and solved in GAMS using mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP). The study demonstrates the proposed strategy on an 11-Bus Microgrid. According to optimization findings, operational expenses are reduced by 17.43%, 18.8%, 19.81%, and 14.3% with 0% load shedding when TOU-RTP-CPP-DLC DRPs are implemented.

In the DLC-DRP scenario, only consumers benefit. When compared to DLC-DRP alone, the suggested RTP+DLC-DRP combination decreases operational expenses by 15.93% and increases consumer advantages. Thus, both the microgrid operator and its users benefit from the proposed strategy.

On March 6, 2024, JAFSCD conducted its sixth annual general meeting of members of the JAFSCD Shareholder Consortium, which includes shareholders who support JAFSCD as an open-access journal through annual contributions. The theme of this year’s meeting was how JAFSCD could become a more transformative journal—that is, a journal that effectively rallies scholars, activists, and change agents to collaboratively build bridges to a better food system, locally and globally. JAFSCD takes its cues on this critical subject from its fiscal sponsor, the Center for Transformative Action, a nonprofit affiliate of Cornell University. . . .

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between passive smoking by parents and dental caries in children aged 1-12 years and the factors affecting this relationship. Materials and Methods: The examination data of 900 children aged 1-12 years who were admitted to Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Pediatric Dentistry between December 2020 and May 2021 for various reasons and underwent routine examinations and met the study criteria were retrospectively analyzed. Sociodemographic characteristics, passive smoking status and dmft/DMFT scores of the children were recorded. The relationship between passive smoking status and dmft/DMFT scores and the factors affecting this relationship were analyzed. Results: The results of A statistically significant correlation was found between passive smoking status and dmft/DMFT scores of children (p=0.000). At the same time, a significant relationship was found between passive smoking and income level (p0.05). Conclusion: Passive smoking is thought to be a risk factor in caries formation. Therefore, it is important to reduce exposure to passive smoking in order to protect both oral and dental health and general health of children
The modern mammal fauna of the left bank of Canyon Transnistria

The article analyses the current state of the mammal fauna of part of Podolian Transnistria, which lies between the rivers Zbruch and Zolota Lypa (southern Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine). To designate the region, the publication uses a term from old Polish sources—Canyon Transnistria—which reflects the prevailing landform. The area of research in old faunal summaries is mentioned only as part of wider regions, such as Galicia, western Ukraine, or Ternopil Oblast. Over the past decades, the number of publications on the mammal fauna of this particular region has increased substantially, which makes it possible to make a summary overview. The modern mammal fauna of the region comprises 60 species belonging to 7 orders, 20 families, and 41 genera. Over the past 70 years, the mammal fauna of the studied region has undergone significant changes. Its dynamic component is almost 27%. It includes species of recent immigrants (Blyth’s pipistrelle Pipistrellus lepidus, mound-building mouse Mus spicilegus, muskrat Ondatra zibethicus), as well as two species that recovered their range (Eurasian beaver Castor fiber, wildcat Felis silvestris); the dynamic component also includes three extinct or probably extinct species—Geoffroy’s bat (Myotis emarginatus), Podolian ground squirrel (Spermophilus odessanus), and European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). A group of phantom species has been singled out, which are known only from single old finds, and modern studies of these species are far from sufficient to understand their status. It includes the lesser mouse-eared bat (Myotis oxygnathus), Nathusius’s pipistrelle (Pipistrellus nathusii), southern birch mouse (Sicista loriger), and Podolian mole rat (Spalax zemni). Such species as the long-eared bat (Plecotus austriacus) and the pygmy field mouse (Sylvaemus uralensis) appeared in the lists of the mammal fauna of the region due to changes in taxonomy. The rare component of the mammal fauna comprises 18 species (30%). The article provides a brief description of the current state of mammal populations in the region. Conservation recommendations are given for rare species.

The article is devoted to the ecological and faunal analysis of the family Muridae of Ternopil Region, namely, the study of species composition, relative abundance, landscape distribution, and habitat preferences of the representatives of this group. The species composition of the mammal fauna of all six landscape areas was analysed and the habitat preferences of rodents were determined. The materials were collected during 2017–2020, and 7350 trap-days were processed and 206 specimens of rodents were trapped, representing 7 species. The richest, in terms of genus and species composition, is the tribe Apodemurini, represented by the genera Apodemus (1 species), Micromys (1), and Sylvaemus (3). The tribe Murini is less rich and is represented by two species of two genera, Mus (1) and Rattus (1). The most abundant and widespread species of the first tribe is the yellow-necked wood mouse (Sylvaemus tauricus), the others are common species (Apodemus agrarius, S. uralensis, S. sylvaticus, and Micromys minutus). The second group includes two alien species that have the status of abundant, particularly in synanthropic habitats: the house mouse (Mus musculus) and the brown rat (Rattus norvegicus). The geographical ranges of the identified species are characterised. The described species are common in their natural zones and habitat types. The differentiation of representatives of the genus Sylvaemus (S. tauricus, S. uralensis, and S. sylvaticus) according to their habitat preferences in different types of forest biocenoses was confirmed. The alien species Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus, preferring urban areas, form exantropic colonies in summer. Ruderal habitats are attractive for Apodemus agrarius and Micromys minutus. The natural habitats of mouse-like rodents in the region are quite heterogeneous, although they are represented by one ecological group, which the authors designate as ‘terrestrial-burrowing’ animals. Distribution maps of each species of the family Muridae in western Podillia are presented. The distribution cadastres were compiled on the basis of spring and summer surveys of typical habitats of mouse-like rodents in six landscape areas of Western Podillia. Only the locations of exantropic settlements in the region were included in the Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus cadastres.
Craniological features of the American mink in south-eastern Belarus

Published: March 2024

A series of skulls (n = 27) of the American mink (Neogale vison) from the south-east of Belarus (Gomel region, floodplain of the Sozh River) was studied. The animals were caught by different hunters in 2000–2004. The sex of individuals was not determined. When examining the skull, only the most pronounced morpho-anatomical changes that can be diagnosed confidently as deviations from the norm were taken into account. In all cases, lamellar deposition of calcium salts in the area of tentorium cerebelli osseum inside the cranial vault was detected. The growing plate length reached half of the arch height in some individuals. These traits (considerable area of bone plates; presence of a sharp spine growing in different plains) allow suggesting that the analysed growths are of pathological origin. This pathology can considerably affect the viability and physiological status of individuals as it disrupts the functioning of the central nervous system. It is difficult to identify the cause of intracranial calcifications due to the possible effect of factors of various nature. Some degree of calcification of the opisthion region of foramen magnum was found. The changes occurred in the foramen shape cannot be considered phenetic variability. In most individuals, the thinning of maxillary bone in the teeth roots area is observed. However, we believe that the identified degree of bone tissue thinning is not critical and therefore does not affect the life expectancy of individuals. Two adult individuals have swelling of the maxillary bone. In one case, an extensive bone tissue excavation was identified on the left lower jaw, which led to the loss of the canine tooth. The analysed pathomorphological change is not of traumatic nature because in case of post-traumatic osteomyelitis sequesters (separating fragments) are formed. It is necessary to further analyse the American mink skulls available at scientific collections of Belarus and to identify the degree of calcium salt deposits and their impact on the foramen magnum phenotypes. We consider it necessary to create an annotated catalogue of pathologies and anomalies of the skull of the American mink in the south-east of Belarus and adjacent territories of Ukraine, since the morphological method is essential in the diagnosis of bone tissue diseases.
