As microalgas são organismos unicelulares capazes de realizar fotossíntese, aproveitando a luz solar e absorvendo CO2 para sintetizar a própria biomassa. Exatamente por esta característica, elas têm sido visadas nos últimos anos por diferentes setores, especialmente pela capacidade de reduzir as emissões de CO2 e para em paralelo sintetizar biomassa que pode ser utilizada na produção de biocombustíveis. Além de serem microrganismos de crescimento rápido, possuem uma composição bioquímica diversificada. Neste contexto o presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a biofixação de CO2 pela microalga Monoraphidium sp., cultivada em fotobiorreator fechado tipo Janela, e a caracterização da biomassa microalgal produzida em relação ao: teor de lipídios totais - LT, lipídios convertíveis em biodiesel - LCB, carboidratos e proteínas. Os resultados permitiram definir que o melhor resultado foi obtido após 24h de cultivo, no qual, por cada grama de biomassa, consumiram-se aproximadamente 1,2g de CO2. A biomassa de Monoraphidium sp. produzida apresentou um teor de LT de 17,37 ± 3,27%, LCB de aproximadamente 8,36 ± 2,69%, carboidratos de 32 ± 3,37% e proteínas de 34,26 ± 0,41%.

Published: February 2019

O bagaço de cana-de-açúcar (BCA) é a biomassa lignocelulósica mais abundante no Brasil e se prevê um aumento da produção nos próximos anos, sendo uma promissora fonte na geração de energia elétrica e matéria prima para químicos e outros produtos de maior valor agregado. No entanto, o BCA possui algumas propriedades indesejáveis que limitam a sua conversão termoquímica eficiente, fazendo necessário a realização de pré-tratamentos antes da reação de conversão em produtos de maior valor energético e comercial. Neste artigo se presenta uma revisão bibliográfica sobre as propriedades físicas e químicas do BCA, assim como as técnicas utilizadas no pré-tratamento do bagaço e sua influência na obtenção de bio-óleo mediante a pirólise rápida. Os processos de secagem até uma umidade menor al 10%, a classificação pneumática em dois  frações, a torrefação para melhorar suas propriedades e aumentar sua friabilidade, a pulverização para obter partículas com diâmetros menores de 1mm e a lixiviação para diminuir a quantidade de cinzas e aumentar o teor de celulose foram analisados como etapas de pré-tratamento do BCA com o objetivo de incrementar os rendimentos de bio-óleo durante a pirólise rápida.

A corrosão é um processo de degradação dos materiais metálicos que ocorre em função da interação do metal ou liga metálica com o ambiente. Os inibidores de corrosão são conhecidos por serem amplamente utilizados como método para a redução ou inibição da corrosão. Os inibidores orgânicos são chamados de inibidores de adsorção, pois se adsorvem sobre a superfície metálica, promovendo a formação de uma barreira protetora entre o metal e o meio corrosivo. Em geral moléculas orgânicas contendo átomos de enxofre, nitrogênio e oxigênio são aplicadas como inibidores de adsorção. Neste trabalho foi avaliado o potencial inibidor da trietilamina sobre a corrosão do aço API em meio de NaCl (0,1 mol/L) e HCl (0,1 mol/L). Foi verificado que o efeito inibidor da trietilamina é mais significativo em meio de cloreto de sódio.

Published: February 2019

Aim.To evaluate clinical efficacy of high-intensity exercise training included in the prehabilitation program for elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods. 38 male patients were included in the study before on-pump CABG. After fulfilling the inclusion/exclusion criteria, patients were randomized into two groups: Group 1 patients (n = 20) underwent supervised treadmill exercise, and Group 2 patients (n = 18) were referred to surgery without any exercise training. Patients underwent a 7-day exercise training with daily measurements of hemodynamic parameters and electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. The load intensity was measured with cardiopulmonary exercise testing and accounted for 80% of the maximal oxygen uptake. Postoperative complications were recorded in the in-hospital period and analyzed. Quality of life indicators were measured by the SF-36 standard version 7–10 days prior to surgery and on days 7-10 of the postoperative period. Adherence to drug and non-drug therapy was assessed during the 6-month follow-up.

Results.There was a significantly lower incidence of postoperative complications during the in-hospital period in patients undergoing prehabilitation program with supervised high-intensity exercise training, compared with patients without any exercise training (p = 0.002). Group 1 patients had reliably better mental health (MH) scores compared with Group 2 patients (48.9±7.60 vs. 39.1±6.80 scores, respectively; p = 0.03) on days 7–10 after CABG. Six months after the CABG, patients who underwent prehabilitation exercise training were less likely to resume smoking than patients without any exercise training (p = 0.04). The tendency towards improved adherence to drug therapy and compensation in arterial hypertension has been determined among Group 1 patients.

Conclusion. Exercise training included in the prehabilitation program proved to be safe and effective in terms of improved clinical outcomes after CABG, quality of life and adherence to treatment in this group of patients.

Authors: Momotov V. V.
Published: February 2019

The article is devoted to one of the most topical issues for the Russian legal order, namely: the regulation of surrogacy. This topic, unfortunately, is not sufficiently covered in the scientific and legal literature due to its novelty and a complex nature of bioethical problems.

This article provides an overview of normative legal acts regulating surrogacy, Russian and international law enforcement practice in this area, as well as legal approaches existing in other legal orders. Particular attention is paid to the latest trends and approaches associated with the adoption of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated May 16, 2017, “On the application of legislation by courts in cases related to the establishment of the origin of children.” At the same time, attention is paid to both public and private law aspects of the phenomenon in question.
Evolution of the Russian Criminal Legislation on Responsibility for Murder by Mother of her Newborn Child
Authors: Khatuev V. B.
Published: February 2019

Without knowledge of history, without a deep retrospective analysis of any legal institution it is impossible to imagine the ways for its further improvement. This is quite true of the institute of murder by mother of her newborn child. This paper attempts to investigate the evolution of criminal responsibility for the murder of a newborn child by the mother, to establish the attitude of the legislator to this type of crime at different stages of development of the Russian criminal legislation — from the time of Ancient Russia to the present. To this end, the main historical legislative acts on the regulation of criminal law against this act are analyzed.

The problem of the considered type of murder is extremely relevant. In the Russian doctrine of criminal law there are two positions concerning Art. 106 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation providing the softened criminal responsibility for this crime. According to one of them, the article is relevant but it needs to be improved; according to the second point of view, it is subject to exclusion and the guilt of such a murder should be criminalized on general grounds for a classified murder. The author of the article speaks in favor of the latter point of view.
“Old” and “New” Trust in Higher Education
Authors: Ambarova P. A. , Zborovsky G. E. , Shabrova N. V.
Published: February 2019

Introduction.Today, the crisis of modern higher school and processes of its modernisation are followed by the crisis of institutional, inter-community and interpersonal trust, which has remained a fundamental basis of a high school system of vocational education for a very long time. The need to preserve trust as a fundamental basis and source of development of Russian higher education requires the study of its structural characteristics and understanding of the resource potential of trust by representatives of educational communities.

The aimof the research was the sociological substantiation of actualisation in higher education of the old resource properties of trust and the emergence of new ones associated with the prospects of transition to a non-linear model of higher education.

Methodology and research methods.The publication presents the results of theoretical and empirical sociological research, implemented with the use of theoretical positions and methodological principles of community and resource approaches, the theory of non-linear development of society. The empirical study was conducted using a mix strategy based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, expert interviews, semi-formalised interview, focus-groups, content analysis and the method of secondary analysis of sociological data.

Results and scientific novelty.The authors’ interpretation of the phenomenon of “old” and “new” trust in Russian higher education is presented. The novelty of the authors’ approach was to consider the problem of higher education not only within the framework of “educational” problems, but also in the broad context of social and socio-cultural changes, meaning the transition to a “liquid” postmodern society. The mobilisation possibilities for the constructive resolution of contradictions existing at the levels of institutional and inter-community relations and interactions in universities are shown. Practical significance. The research results have a positive significance not only for enrichment of the theory of higher education and social knowledge of non-material resources of its development. They are important to design various academic practical experience oriented on the use of resource properties of trust with a view to developing the social and human capital of high school communities as well as to elaborate new social technologies for managing the processes of trust formation in the university.

An association of genes XRCC1 and HMMR with breast cancer (BC) has never been tested in the Kyrgyz ethnic group. This was a case-control study of 201 women of the Kyrgyz ethnic group with a morphologically verified breast cancer (N=99) and 102 controls age-matched with BC cases. The mean age of the patients was 53 years (24–74, SE mean = 0.967, STD=9.81). The extraction of DNA was carried out from venous blood. The genotyping was conducted by using the method of polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. When comparing the results of genotyping, the histological structure of the tumor and the «menopause» factor, Fisher»s exact test was used. Calculation of the odds ratio was carried out by cross tabulation method. A statistically significant link between the XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism and the menopausal status was observed (p=0,018). The Arg / Arg genotype of XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism occurred in 52 % of cases in women at menopausal age, whereas in women before the onset of menopause, the genotype Arg / Arg occurred in 78.8 % of BC cases (p=0.009). The CT genotype of HMMR V353A polymorphism was identified as “protective” factor – OR=0.481, 95 % CI [0.27‑0.85]. There was no statistically significant association between the results of genotyping and histological structure of the tumor, as well as the age of verification of the diagnosis of BC.

Background: Children with cleft lip and cleft palate come across lot of impediment, hurdles in society. There are several social factors which hinders the proper nourishment of CL only, CP or CLP children, so majority of them tend to suffer malnutrition due to lack of standard care especially from their parents and society. Due to even low socio-economic status, impact on growth of these children is vexatious. However potential risk of malnutrition is particularly more during early childhood. Moreover, till date there are not much significant data on malnutrition in CL only, CP or CLP children. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of malnutrition in non syndromic CL only, CP or CLP in south India.Methods: Anthropometric parameters weight for age z score (WAZ), height for age z score (HAZ), of children with CLP were compared with age matched controls.Results: Prevalence of PEM and stunting for cleft group were 40% and 21.3% respectively compared to 33.33% and 17.33% for the control. Differences in the underweight, and stunting between the two groups were not statistically significant (χ2=2.83, p value=0.58, and χ2=1.48, p value=0.69 respectively).Conclusions: There is no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of malnutrition in children with non- syndromic cleft lip and Palate compared with control.

Published: February 2019

Em regiões semiáridas, a irrigação é uma prática constante e necessária para o cultivo de algumas espécies de plantas, mas a má gestão favorece a degradação das propriedades físicas e químicas do solo devido ao processo de salinização, causando baixa produtividade e abandono das terras. Portanto, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a eficiência da aplicação de gesso e coprodutos alternativos na recuperação de solos salinos e no possível cultivo de Sorghum bicolor (L. Moench). Foi realizado um experimento em esquema fatorial 2x2x5, constituído por dois níveis de gesso (ausência e presença), dois níveis de coprodutos (vermiculita + esterco bovino e caulim + esterco bovino) e cinco doses de cada composto (0, 15, 30, 45 e 60%) volume por vaso (v:v). Cada tratamento foi replicado três vezes, totalizando 60 vasos com capacidade de 9 L. Após a aplicação dos corretivos e dos compostos foram semeadas dez sementes de Sorghum bicolor por vaso. Quinze dias após a germinação, realizou-se o desbaste, mantendo três plantas por vaso. Foram avaliadas as características químicas do solo e parâmetros de crescimento das plantas, como altura, número de folhas, diâmetro do colo, massa fresca da parte aérea, massa seca da parte aérea e massa seca da raiz. Verificamos que a aplicação corretiva melhorou os atributos químicos do solo, permitindo que áreas degradadas e abandonadas voltem a ser produtivas. Recomendamos a aplicação do coproduto caulim com esterco bovino, o que favorece o crescimento inicial das espécies Sorghum bicolor constituindo-se em alternativa eficiente para minimizar os efeitos nocivos da salinidade causada ao solo, ao meio ambiente e à produtividade.

Authors: Glowka Renato Paulo , Weingartner Marcos , Muelbert Betina
Published: February 2019

A criação de organismos aquáticos tem crescido devido a uma maior demanda por pescado e as fontes naturais possuírem estoques limitados com tendência ao esgotamento. A comercialização, no entanto, é um dos obstáculos para que a atividade se consolide e gere maiores rendimentos aos produtores. No município de Laranjeiras do Sul, no Estado do Paraná este aspecto se agrava devido à falta de informação de produção e comercialização. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi gerar e analisar informações referentes à venda e criação de pescado em Laranjeiras do Sul para subsidiar as políticas de expansão da piscicultura local. Por meio do mapeamento dos canais de comercialização através de entrevistas mensais com os diferentes comerciantes de pescado e por meio de pesquisas junto aos dados das instituições responsáveis (Emater, Seab, Ibge) foi possível constatar que, exceto o pescado comercializado na feira do peixe vivo e nos pesque-pague, o comercializado em supermercados ou mercados, restaurantes ou lanchonetes, peixaria, ou por intermediários é oriundo de outros municípios, estados e até países. Também foi constatado que na região centro-sul do Paraná não existem abatedouros ou frigoríficos de peixes, tornando-se este um entrave para o aumento da produção, comercialização e consumo do pescado. Foram identificadas 32 espécies comercializadas sendo 30 nos mercados, 16 nos restaurantes e 10 em pesque-pague. A espécie mais comercializada em todos os estabelecimentos é a tilápia (34 toneladas), representando mais de 75% das espécies comercializadas durante o período pesquisado, com preço médio do filé em R$ 33,97 kg-1. Os resultados obtidos demonstram a necessidade de maior ampliação dos canais de comercialização e políticas públicas para fomentar a atividade no município e região.

Published: February 2019

O consumo de hambúrguer atrai o consumidor devido ao baixo custo, facilidade e rapidez no preparo e consumo. A presença de gordura convencionalmente faz parte deste produto, sendo responsável por contribuir com cor, sabor e textura. Devido preocupação cada vez mais recorrente dos consumidores com alimentação saudável, saúde e bem-estar, nota-se a busca por alimentos com baixas calorias e reduzido teor de gordura. Nessa perspectiva o presente estudo teve como proposta a elaboração de hambúrguer bovino com substituição total e parcial (50%) da gordura por farinha da casca de maracujá. Foram testadas as características físico-químicas, como umidade, extrato etéreo, proteína, capacidade de retenção de água, rendimento de cocção, percentual de encolhimento e perfil de textura do produto. Nos hambúrgueres em que a gordura foi substituída, obteve-se melhoria no rendimento de cocção e redução no teor de encolhimento. Em relação às análises de umidade, extrato etéreo e proteína, os tratamentos estavam de acordo com o estabelecido pela legislação. Na análise de perfil de textura, não foi verificada diferença das amostras em relação ao tratamento padrão, para os atributos dureza, elasticidade e mastigabilidade. Assim, foi possível a obtenção de um produto mais saudável, atendendo as expectativas dos consumidores, com boas características físico-químicas e de acordo com os padrões legais.

O Brasil, nos últimos anos, ampliou sua produção agroindustrial, aumentando, consequentemente, a quantidade de resíduos produzidos. Uma alternativa para seu aproveitamento é a transformação destes subprodutos por secagem, já que produtos desidratados têm se destacado pela forma prática de comercialização. Uma forma de empregar esses resíduos após a sua desidratação é a incorporação dos mesmos sob forma de pós, em produtos alimentícios. Diante do exposto, objetivou-se estudar os resíduos desidratados de manga (RDM), de goiaba (RDG) e de acerola (RDA), obtidos por meio de secagem convectiva (55ºC/48h). Foram avaliadas as características físico-químicas (aw, umidade, sólidos totais, cinzas, acidez total, acidez expressa em ácido cítrico, pH, sólidos solúveis, composição centesimal e valor calórico), colorimétricas, propriedades funcionais e qualidade higiênico-sanitária dos resíduos desidratados. RDM destacou-se em relação ao teor de sólidos solúveis (51,65 ºBrix). RDG apresentou maiores teores de sólidos totais (93,91%), pH (4,23%) e lipídios (7,15%) em relação aos demais. RDA apresentou maior acidez total (10,79%), acidez em ácido cítrico (6,91%), cinzas (3,28%) e proteínas (15,40%). RDM e RDG apresentaram maior quantidade de carboidratos presentes, no entanto, RDG contém maior valor calórico (402,91 Kcal). Quanto à análise colorimétrica, RDG apresentou melhor coloração. Em relação às propriedades funcionais, RDA destacou-se quanto aos compostos fenólicos, à atividade antioxidante e à vitamina C, enquanto que RDG destacou-se quanto ao teor de carotenoides. Quanto aos parâmetros microbiológicos, todos os resíduos desidratados atenderam ao determinado pela legislação.

Earthquake Response Analysis of Multiple Towers on a Common Podium: A Representative Case Study
Authors: TURA Cem , ORAKÇAL Kutay
Published: February 2019

In this study, a hypothetical tall building structure
consisting of two towers and a common podium is analyzed considering effects of
interaction between the towers due to connected podium floors. Interaction
effects on the podium level are included in the analyses by embracing either an
upper bound or lower bound approach, assigning fixed or free end restraints at
the continuous boundaries of single tower models, respectively. Response of
single tower models are then compared with the response obtained from combined
model which includes both of the towers as well as the common podium and
basements. Obtained results indicate that, in both linear and nonlinear
analyses, single tower models with fixed end restraints overestimate internal
forces at the podium floors, although to a reasonable extent.
Effects of Straits on Hydro-Thermal Performance of Small Bays
Authors: GER Ahmet Metin
Published: February 2019

The
heated surface jet discharged into a bay which is connected to a larger body of
water through a strait may experience bifurcation in the bay and stratification
in the strait. The combined effects of bifurcation and stratification may lead
to a substantially greater rise in temperature than the rise expected in case
of unrestricted receiving body of water. In this study, the behavior of heated
effluents discharged into bays with a restricted access to a large body of
water is scrutinized experimentally by the help of a scaled physical
model.Dimensional analysis leads to a new dimensionless parameter Ar, area
restriction parameter, on which the difference between the excess temperatures
at the inlet of the strait for restricted and free receiving mediums, Δ(ΔT/ΔT0) is shown
to be strongly dependent.

Análise da apócope e da síncope em proparoxítonas no falar maranhense. Investigam-se os motivadores linguísticos e extralinguísticos que condicionam o aparecimento do fenômeno na fala de 44 indivíduos (homens e mulheres), naturais de 10 municípios maranhenses, distribuídos igualmente em duas faixas etárias. Baseado teórico-metodologicamente na sociolinguística, o estudo aponta a relevância do traço de articulação da vogal, do contexto fonológico precedente e do contexto fonológico seguinte, daescolaridade e da localidade, como condicionantes do fenômeno. Assim, pôde-se concluir que o fenômeno ocorre em contextos específicos, e não gerais (ARAÚJO, 2007), bem como que os fatores extralinguísticos atuam de forma conjunta sobre o fenômeno investigado, não exercendo, portanto, influência isoladamente.Palavras-chave: Proparoxítonas.

It searches the linguistics and extra linguistics motivators that leads to the emergence of the phenomenon on the speech of 44 individuals (men and women), born and raised in 10 different cities of Maranhão, equally distributed into two age groups. Methodologically based on the sociolinguistics theory, the paper highlights the relevancy of vowel articulation feature, precedent phonological context, following phonological context, schooling and locality as relevant towards the phenomenon appearance. Thus, it concludes that the phenomenon occurs in specific contexts, not in general (ARAÚJO, 2007), as well as the extra linguistics variables acting as a group with the other variables, not carrying out, therefore, the influence isolated.Keywords: Proparoxitones.

Published: February 2019

The research aims at assessing the Slovenian public opinion on the importance of forests and forest management. 1014 surveys were completed by randomly selected adult citizens of the RS proportionally in regard to the country%s statistical regions. The survey included 10 sections and 74 Likert-type statements. Slovenian public believes that the most important functions of forests are environmental functions, followed by wood production and protection against natural hazards, social functions, whereas the least important are gathering non-wood forest products and hunting. More than 90 % of respondents think that forests are important for multiple functions. 74 % of the public supports free access, 60 % of them supports the right to gather non-wood forest products. The majority of them believe that the state should invest funds for supporting environmental functions. The statements on free access and importance of forests for recreation are the strongest factors in discriminating the groups of forest owners and non-owners.
Examination of stable carbon and oxygen isotopic variability in the cellulose and wholewood of Castanea sativa Mill., Fagus sylvatica L., Pinus sylvestris L. and Quercus robur L.

This paper presents results from a comparison of wholewood and cellulose carbon and oxygen isotope ratios for four UK tree species. These species occur within the historic buildings archive as both primary and supplementary construction materials and have been used to reconstruct the climate of the past. New advances in the application of stable isotopes have widened the scope of the isotope approach, but require the time-consuming purification of cellulose. Comparison of the oxygen and carbon isotope signals preserved in the wood and cellulose components confirms and builds upon previous research in this field and provides additional insight into the covariance of these two sample types between species, and the potential to employ wood isotope analysis for both pre-screening trees for palaeoclimatology and chronology research.
Engaging minds and hearts: Social and emotional learning in English Language Arts
Authors: Storey Meaghan
Published: February 2019

This article explores English Language Arts (ELA) as the most appropriate venue for Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). Using the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) model of SEL, the author explores the evidence in the literature that there is a natural affinity between ELA content and SEL objectives and that an SEL lens would promote and improve student engagement and facilitate mutually beneficial impacts. The complimentary nature of methods and objectives in ELA and SEL facilitates adaption and minimal disruption to ELA curriculum. Reviewing existing ELA-based SEL programs and examples from the literature of successful integration of SEL concepts by teachers, the author makes a case for developing unscripted, versatile, and integrated approaches to SEL that builds on teacher expertise and student feedback. Additionally, the author outlines the opportunities for integrated learning presented in the BC ELA curriculum. A case is made for a truly integrated model being necessary for creating a fundamental and lasting culture shift towards embedded SEL. Future research directions are discussed.
Online élelmiszervásárlási szokások és lehetőségek vizsgálata magyar és amerikai online vásárlók körében
Authors: Tari Katalin
Published: February 2019

A témaválasztás időszerű, aktuális. Jelen kutatásban elemzésre kerültek a – nem reprezentatív – minta alapján a magyar és az amerikai online vásárlók nemzetiségbeli és demográfiai azonosságai, valamint különbségei.A cikk első célkitűzése a kutatási eredmények elemzése során feltárni a nemzetenként eltérő online termék- és szolgáltatáskategóriákat. A kutatásban résztvevő magyar fogyasztók többsége a leggyakrabban vásárolt online termék és/vagy szolgáltatáskategóriák közé a melegételt, az élelmiszert és a napi fogyasztási cikkeket sorolta, valamint ¹/₅-ük jelölte, hogy igénybe veszi az online biztosítók és bankok oldalait. A megkérdezett amerikaiak leginkább divatipari termékeket, ruhaneműket és kiegészítőket vásárolnak online. További kutatások során kiderült, hogy az eltérő fogyasztói szokások egyik fő oka, hogy a vizsgált régióban szinte egyáltalán nincsen melegétel kiszállítás, csupán a hétköznapi bevásárlás lehetősége adott (például napi fogyasztási cikkek, félkész termékek vásárlása, stb.).További kutatási cél volt a tanulmány ered­ményei alapján feltárni, hogy mely változók, illetve milyen információk játszhatnak szerepet az online vásárlás előnyben részesítésében. Ezt az 1. táblázat „online vásárlás indoklásának” állításai tartalmazzák, amelyek összefoglalják az online vásárlás előnyeit és hátrányait. A fo­gyasztók preferenciáit vizsgálva a nemzetiség tekintetében a „jobb minőség”, a „csak online vásárolható” meg a termék, továbbá a „kényelem”, illetve az „interneten csak összehasonlítom” állításokban volt szignifikáns különbség. Ezen túlmenően a „jobb minőség” esetében a nemzetek között tapasztalt demográfiai különbségek (mint például a személyek iskolai végezettsége és jövedelme) is jelentősen befolyásolták a kapott eredményeket. Példaként említve a „jóval átlag alatti jövedelem” kate­góriájában mutattak az amerikai és a magyar fogyasztók közel azonos értéket. A további jövedelem kategóriákban az amerikaiak inkább értettek egyet azzal, hogy azért böngésznek az interneten, mert ott csak összehasonlítják a termékeket, mint az ugyanakkora jövedelemmel rendelkező magyar fogyasztók. A vizsgálat az „interneten csak összehasonlítom” állítás esetében, jövedelem szintenként mutatott kiemelt eltérést.Az online élelmiszervásárlásra kiterjedő kérdésben a VR szemüveg segítségével, otthonról intézhető virtuális élelmiszerbevásárlás lehetőségét vizsgáltam, ahol mindkét nemzetiség esetében közepes, relatív semleges értéket kaptam. Eszerint az élelmiszerboltban tett virtuális bevásárlás lehetőségére nem kaptam egyértelmű, pozitív eredményt.Mostani kérdőíves megkérdezésem eredményei alapján további potenciális kutatási témakörök merültek fel számos tudományterületre vonatkoztatva (pl. a robottechnika és a szoftverfejlesztés), amelyeket a későbbiek során további kutatásokkal fogok megvizsgálni.

Authors: Sunali Lalotra  , J S Vaghela
Published: February 2019

Neurodegenerative diseases are incurable and debilitating conditions that result in progressive degeneration / death of nerve cells or neurons in the human brain. Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease are the major Neurodegenerative diseases, which are characterized by progressive loss (and even death) of structure and function of neurons, and have created great burden to the individual and the society. Treatment of these diseases with prolonged administration of synthetic drugs will lead to severe side effects. Therefore herbal treatment is being preferred over conventional treatments. Much attention and so scope is drawn towards herbal remedy of many Neurodegenerative diseases. The present review puts together research on various medicinal plants that have shown promise in reversing the Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s pathology and highlights importance of phytochemicals of medicinal herbs on neuroprotective function and their mechanism of action.

Published: February 2019

Gymnema sylvestre, Trigonella foenum and Phyllanthus emblica are used for the management of diabetes. The mixing of these plant parts in different ratio may produce synergistic antidiabetic action. Hence the aim of the present study was to formulate polyherbal formulations containing various proportions of Gymnema sylvestre (Leaves), Trigonella foenum (Seeds) and Phyllanthus emblica (Fruits) to investigate their antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activity in Streptozotocin induced diabetic rat. The physicochemical estimations namely total ash value, acid insoluble ash value, water soluble ash value, loss on drying, alcohol soluble extractive values and water soluble extractive value for plants parts were performed. The decoction of four different polyherbal formulations (HF1 to HF4) were prepared and antidiabetic activity was investigated in Streptozotocin induced diabetic rat. The physicochemical value of plant materials were under limits and acceptable. The administration of polyherbal formulation (HF1 to HF4) significantly decreased the blood glucose levels compared to control diabetic rats. The polyherbal formulation significantly lowered the elevated total cholesterol, triglycerides (TGL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) level while increased the high density lipoprotein (HDL) indicates the antihyperlipidemic activity. The findings demonstrated the antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activity of polyherbal formulations, and HF2 produce higher protective effect from diabetes.
