Gioconda Belli: The Responsibility for Writing
Authors: Valentini Francesca
Published: June 2020

Gioconda Belli is one of the most refined female voices of emancipation in twenty-century Latin American literature. Since her earliest works, this Nicaraguan writer carries out her own personal revolution starting with a rethinking of the female body, which takes on a symbolic and metaphorical meaning capable of representing the profound ideological change desired by Belli. According to the author, it is necessary to rethink the female role within Latin American societies so that women can acquire the status of subjects capable of freeing themselves from the markedly subordinated image that the patriarchal universe has reserved to them. This common thread guides the reader within the author’s production and it can be found also in her latest novel, Las fiebres de la memorias (2018), in which, exceptionally, a male protagonist appears, who will be able to redefine himself only through a ‘feminization’, an enhancement of that dimension of caring for others which is generally thought of as strictly belonging to a feminine universe.

Authors: Singh M. , Kothiyal P. , Mathur P.
Published: June 2020

The urinary tract is the most common site of nosocomial infections accounting for more than 40% of the total number reported by acute care hospitals and affecting approximately 600,000 patients per year. Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) defines in terms of “bacteriuria” and “urinary tract infection” frequently. Bacteriuria or funguria levels >103 colony- forming units (CFU) have been shown to be highly predictive of CAUTI, given that these levels increase to 105 CFU within 24 to 48 hours. In Indian population, catheterassociated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality, affecting all age groups. Biofilm is the predominant mode of growth in aquatic ecosystems and, as such, plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI). The present review focuses to evaluate the incidence and pattern of microbes in catheter associated urinary tract infection and provides information about the etiology of CAUTI. Most of the studies concluded that gram negative pathogen E.coli showed the highest incidence rate and other pathogens like Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and staphylococcus species also having the incidence rate in the patient having CAUTI. The antibiotic resistance pattern showed the variation in resistance and sensitivity of antibiotics against the pathogens. The present study focuses on the incidence of the microbial growth in patient having catheterization and also elucidates the antibiotic sensitivity pattern. It is necessary to determine the antibiotic resistance and sensitivity status during and after the catheterization.

Authors: Ola M. , Bhaskar R. , Patil Priya
Published: June 2020

The advantages of oral dosage form that are responsible for its popularity are its ease of administration, patient compliance and stability of formulation. The most popular oral dosage forms beings tablets and capsules, but one important drawback of the dosage forms however is the difficulty to swallow especially when a dosage form is developed for pediatric and geriatric patient. The modern scientific and technological advancement in the pharmaceutical field had created bank of interest in reconstitutable oral suspension dosage form in the recent year. The reconstituted system is the formulation of choice when the drug stability is a major concern. Reconstitutable oral systems show the adequate chemical stability of the drug during shelf life and also reduce the weight of the final product. Dry syrup form of the drug is also useful in case of bioavailability as it has high bioavailability rather than tablets and capsules as it disintegrates in water outside of the oral cavity and directly the suspension is gone through the gastrointestinal tract. So the suspension easily absorbs in the GIT. The present review gives an account of the excipients used, methods of preparation of dry syrups along with their evaluations, their packaging, ICH guidelines.

Authors: Thulasi R. , , Krishnakumar K.
Published: June 2020

The Solanaceae, one of the largest family in angiosperms have high commercial value. The genus Solanum in Solanaceae is a complex one. Many species in Solanum does not contain a well-defined species boundaries. Many of them with taxonomical controversies. The present study was about such a Solanum species – Solanum melongena var. insanum. There were two morpho-types which are botanically known as S. melongena var. insanum. In Ayurveda both of them were treated as separate plants – as „Cheruvazhuthina‟ and „Punyahachunda‟. „Cheruvazhuthina‟ was extensively used in Ayurveda but „Punyahachunda‟ was not. Roots of „Punyahachunda‟ was used instead in the unavailability of roots of „Cheruvazhuthina‟. So this study was aimed to analyse the pharmacognostic properties of both morpho-types. The therapeutic value was assayed by antibacterial activity of roots of both plants. For convenience the two plants viz., „Cheruvazhuthina‟ and „Punyahachunda‟ were denoted as morpho-type 1 and morpho-type 2 respectively. Phytochemical profiling revealed significant differences in certain components. Hence the samples were subjected for FT-IR analyses and the spectra showed high pattern of similarity as well as differences in both the morpho-types investigated. Phytochemical profile was prepared for both the morpho-types which were further fractionated by chromatography. The fractionated components were subjected for bioassay against the growth inhibition of E. coli. The bioassay results revealed that the therapeutic potency of morpho-type 1 was more significant and hence I recommend the use of morphote type 1. However a detailed phytochemical as well as molecular profiling is warranted to confirm the recently obtained results.

The poetess emphasizes that Mayakovsky was the only XX-century poet who dared to change poetry so radically. Scientific originality of the paper lies in the fact that a literary analysis of A. Akhmatova’s poem has allowed identifying two “implicit” quotations from Mayakovsky. The line “flew like a butterfly over the crowd” makes an allusion to the poem “Take that!” and the line “slanting rain” - to the poems “Morning” and “Back Home”.

Published: June 2020

The study aims to formulate principles for developing a linguistic information system meant to act as integrated representation of linguistic resources. Scientific originality of the research is in that principles of universality and complementarity of a linguistic information system development are suggested for the first time. Universality is understood as supporting all kinds of research including theoretical, applied and informational. Complementarity refers to adequate allocation of electronic resources functioning as system components. Such types of complementarity as semantic, pragmatic and functional are identified. The results of the study have demonstrated that the system structure must include linguistic ontology and a national corpus as its core elements.

Published: June 2020

The high level of fructose taken in the diet is one of the reasons for the increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome, which is increasing day by day globally in association with the effects of genetic and environmental factors. In the study, 21 male Sprague-Dawley rats of 220±20 gr body weight were used. The rats were assigned to 3 groups as the control group, metabolic syndrome group, and the group where Nigella sativa oil was administered. The serum homocysteine levels were increased in the metabolic syndrome group compared to the control group but without statistical significance (p>0.05). Homocysteine levels decreased significantly after Nigella sativa oil compared to metabolic syndrome group. LDH (p <0.001) and uric acid (p <0.05) levels which were higher in metabolic syndrome group were decreased in Nigella sativa oil group. Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for endothelial dysfunction. In our study, the treatment of the metabolic syndrome and regulation of the increased levels of homocysteine with Nigella sativa oil in metabolic syndrome were discussed. Some biochemical parameters and improvements in homocysteine levels with Nigella sativa oil has been identified. In this study, we have concluded that the occurrence of elevated levels of plasma homocysteine are closely associated with the development of inflammation, cellular adhesion, hepatic dysfunction, and cell proliferation and that the reduction in the serum levels of homocysteine by the administration of Nigella sativa oil will lead to favorable out comes.

A study on farmers perceived prevalence of climate change, manifested by the phenomena like increasing temperature, fluctuating rainfall etc. and in the considered agro-ecological areas was conducted in Binpur II block of Jhargram district of West Bengal to assess the extent of farmers' perception about the climate change and their adaptation strategies to cope up with losses due to climate change. Results showed that the farmers' perception of climate change greatly influenced farmers' readiness to adapt climate change by considering some adjustments to their cultivation and production practices. The findings showed that the farmers' perception of climate change was at a high-level group of respondents. Results showed that 50% of respondents were optimistic with the idea that they can cope up the climate change problems if they get proper government assistance. Only about 13% of farmers perceived Government plans on climate change. Regarding the adaptation strategies, 40% of respondents followed more or less strategies, whereas most of the respondents did not adopt any strategies in this regard.

Black gram (Vigna mungo L.) growing areas of district Jhansi coming under Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh were surveyed during Kharif 2018 for the occurrence of anthracnose disease of black gram. A total of 22 villages were visited under six blocks of Jhansi during this period. Blockwise comparison of the survey in Jhansi revealed that less mean disease incidence (10%) and severity (4.0%) occurred in the Chirgaon block. Highest disease incidence (24%) and severity (12%) were observed in block Moth.  The block Bangra, Babina, Badagaon, and Bamour secured disease incidence 23.5, 20, 16.44 and 15% and severity 15.14, 12, 7.44 and 8.5% respectively. Nine fungicides (viz. folicur@0.1%, tilt @0.1%, natio@0.0.5%, saaf@0.2%, bavistin@0.2%, dithane Z-78@0.2%, amistar top, kavach@0.2% and blitox@0.2%) were tested against anthracnose disease of black gram under field condition.  Among them, seed treatment with carbendazim@ 3gram/kg seed and foliar spray of mixture of azole and strobilurin group T3- natio@0.05 ( tebuconazole + trifloxystrobin) and T7-amistar top@0.1%  (azoxystrobin+ difenoconazole) were found significantly (at 0.05%) superior over the rest of treatments, both showed minimum (6%) disease severity with maximum (78.51%) disease control. Significant (at 0.05%) increase in yield (47.5%) also observed in both treatments T3 and T7.  The treatment T1- Spray of  Folicur@0.1%, T2-  Spray of  Tilt @0.1%, T4- Spray of  Saaf@0.2%, T5- Spray of  Bavistin@0.2%,  T8- Spray of Kavach@0.2%, T9- Spray of Blitox@0.2% also showed good results in reducing the black gram anthracnose disease severity per cent (64.29, 57.14, 64.28, 57.14, 71.42 and 64.28 and also increased the yield per cent 37.5, 35, 42.5, 36.25, 45 and 45 respectively.

Generation of spatio-temporal information such as land use system and management practices is one of the key ingredients for carrying out the regional level agro-ecosystem modelling. However, at the regional level availability of such data is scarce, where analysis of a cropping system is essential and a pre-requisite for studying the overall sustainability of the agricultural production system. The present investigation was carried out to identify the actually practised cropping pattern and their mapping in Hisar district of Haryana (India) using Multi-Data Approach (MDA). Multi-date sentinel-1 for the rabi season of 2019 was classified using multi-phase unsupervised classification approach and classes of interest were identified. Finally, classified images were subjected to logical combinations which helped in generating crop classification maps and statistics. Results showed that cropping pattern of the district exhibited huge variations and area under wheat was observed to be highest (204.76 thousand ha) in comparison to mustard crop (64.42 thousand ha) and least was under the sugarcane crop (0.97 thousand ha). Some other crops like vegetables and horticultural crops were also identified during this period, but the major crops that were identified during rabi 2019 were wheat and mustard. Hence, regional crop classification using sentinel-1 data appears to be a valuable tool for predicting a specific regions cropping pattern, which is considered to be the most significant aspect of an agricultural production system.
