Authors: Cedeño Mero Robin Edison , Patiño Zambrano Viviana Paola , Balladares-Mazzini Manuel Bernardo , Patiño Zambrano Walter Alejandro
Published: February 2022

La comunicación es una necesidad de todo ser que coexiste en la vida. A medida que se ha profundizado los estudios del ser vivo se ha tratado de diseñas o descifrar los códigos a través de los cuales hay un proceso comunicativo que permite conocer el estadio del ser mismo. El procesamiento auditivo y sus alteraciones han sido abordados durante décadas por distintas especialidades, entre las cuales se encuentran la audiología, la fonoaudiología, la neurología y la psicología. Esta diversidad de enfoques y profesionales haciéndose cargo de un trastorno que en primera instancia es auditivo, ha dificultado históricamente la obtención de consensos en relación con la definición de procesamiento auditivo, sus alteraciones, formas de evaluación y abordaje. Identificando los elementos se puede sospechar que, de existir un problema neurológico en un individuo, los retos de la Telesalud se ven afectados proporcionalmente a las dificultades comunicativas que se evidencien en el paciente. Para el caso que nos atañe se ha hecho un corte transversal de la mano de herramientas que brinda las tecnologías de información y comunicación sustentada en los elementos electrónicos de búsqueda de producciones científico – académicas de sustento teórico aceptado por la comunidad acreditada para tal fin, en este caso la medicina. A razón de la investigación se han centrado los esfuerzos primeramente en analizar los aportes de publicaciones desde el año 2017 a la actualidad, sin embargo, no se han descartado estudios anteriores siempre que se considere un aporte de valor digno de ser expuesto y que no se encuentre alguna actualización del mismo. Son muchas las herramientas que pueden aportar al tema específico investigado la robótica, la inteligencia artificial, el desarrollo de software, pero la investigación reporta que las pruebas de escucha dicótica requieren de un esfuerzo multidisciplinario por ser una prueba específica para determinar alteraciones o síndromes que se desarrollan en el ser humano. No se logra sustentar bibliográficamente de que manera se llevan a cabo las valoraciones y validaciones de más alteraciones de la escucha dicótica a través de la Telesalud.

Authors: Jiménez León Maria Auxiliadora , Maridueña Arciniegas Verónica Paulina
Published: February 2022

Introducción. Los accidentes cerebrovasculares (ACV) son considerados la segunda causa de muerte y la tercera causa de discapacidad a nivel mundial. En Ecuador constituyen la primera causa de mortalidad y son una amenaza para la salud debido al grado de discapacidad que pueden ocasionar, lo que genera un gran impacto socioeconómico, familiar y en la calidad de vida de la población que los sufre.

Objetivo. Determinar la efectividad del tratamiento intensivo y no intensivo de rehabilitación en pacientes hemipléjicos posterior a un ACV atendidos en el servicio de medicina física y rehabilitación de un hospital de Guayaquil, Ecuador, entre 2015 y 2018.

Materiales y métodos. Estudio transversal no experimental realizado en 99 pacientes ambulatorios con diagnóstico de ACV. Se aplicó el índice de Barthel, correlacionando la respuesta al tratamiento rehabilitador  intensivo y no intensivo en el periodo de tiempo ya definido para establecer la mejoría en la calidad de vida de los pacientes.

Resultados. El diagnóstico de ACV fue más prevalente en el sexo masculino (67,7%), además se encontró que el 67,7% de los casos fueron de tipo isquémico y que se presentaron compli- caciones en el 17,2%, y comorbilidades en el 73,7%. Se estableció asociación estadísticamente significativa (p=0,010) al iniciar precozmente el tratamiento rehabilitador con el grado de discapacidad y la calidad de vida. Un Chi cuadrado de 62,878 y un valor alfa de 0,0001 indicaron asociación estadística entre la rehabilitación intensiva y resultados favorables según el índice de Barthel.

Conclusiones. El tratamiento de alto nivel de intensidad produce una mejor recuperación funcional en los pacientes hemipléjicos posterior a un ACV.

Published: February 2022

Introducción. Existe una gran heterogeneidad en los estudios que abordan la efectividad e indicación del tratamiento con ondas de choque (OCH) en la fascitis plantar (FP) respecto a otros tratamientos alternativos.

Objetivos. Evaluar la efectividad del tratamiento con OCH en pacientes con FP mediante las evidencias  científicas más actuales y evaluar la eficacia de este tratamiento en comparación con otros tipos de terapias también empleadas en el manejo de esta inflamación.

Materiales y métodos. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos PubMed y PEDro con los términos clave “shock wave” y “plantar fasciitis AND shock wave”. Se selecciona- ron artículos publicados en español e inglés entre los años 2015 y 2019.

Resultados. Tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión y luego de eliminar los duplica- dos, se seleccionaron 13 estudios que englobaban una muestra total de 1.220 individuos y comparaban las OCH frente a placebo, OCH con ejercicios, ultrasonoterapia, laserterapia de bajo nivel e infiltración de corticoides y toxina botulínica.

Conclusión. Las OCH constituyen un método eficaz y seguro para tratar la FP, siendo más efectivo que la ultrasonoterapia y la infiltración de toxina botulínica, aunque existe controver- sia en el resto de comparaciones. Su uso se aconseja asociado a un programa de ejercicios; sin embargo, es necesario realizar más estudios sobre esta técnica.

Reagents used for examination must be considered for stability. Reagents made beforehand must be used immediately because the reagent that has been opened has a shorter stability period than the reagent that has not been opened. This study aims to determine the difference in creatinine levels using a mono reagent that is immediately used and which is left in for 5 hours at room temperature. This research is a pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest research design. The research sample was the remaining serum of the patients who were examined in the laboratory of Medika Sangatta Hospital as many as 40 samples. The test results were analyzed descriptively and statistically using paired sample t-test. The results of the descriptive test showed that the difference between the mean creatinine levels using immediate reagent and those experiencing indentation for 5 hours was 0.1 with the maximum value of creatinine levels using immediate reagent and those experiencing indwelling were 1.7 mg/dl and 1.6 mg/dl. While the minimum values ??are 0.9 mg / dl and 0.8 mg / dl (p=0.003). There was a difference in creatinine levels using a mono reagent which is immediately used and which has been left standing for 5 hours at room temperature so the mono reagent that has been made should be used immediately.

Published: February 2022

The maintenance of creole seeds promotes preservation of agrobiodiversity and family autonomy. For this reason, seeds quality is essential in the context of creole seeds because directly impacts the improvement of the production field and, consequently, its continuous existence. The study evaluated the diversity and the seed quality of creole maize seeds in two harvests in the South-West of São Paulo, Brazil, an important maize production site in Brazil. Seeds from both harvests (2019 and 2020) were evaluated regarding the physical (physical aspects, one test seed mass, test of infestation), physiological (water content, germination test, seedling emergence in soil, emergence speed index and cold test) and health potential (blotter test). Among 20 lots collected, the seeds were classified into five varieties according to family famers perception. It was observed a variation in terms of physical, physiological and health quality between the seed lots. The lots harvested in 2020 had the highest values of size, 1000 seed mass, germination and vigor. The blotter test identified for both harvests, mainly in 2019, high incidence of Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp., considered as storage fungi. Therefore, the variation in seed quality between the harvest refers mainly to the characteristics of the storage process performed. More studies on better strategies for creole maize seed storage are necessary to guarantee seed quality, since low seed quality is a risk for losing these materials.

Published: February 2022

The subject of the study are organizational and economic relations arising in the process of administrative and legal support of innovation activities of enterprises in terms of economic competition. Methodology. Instrumental and methodological apparatus of the study consists of the applied methods of economic analysis of organizations, statistical methods, sample observation, method of economic modeling, grouping, generalization, expert evaluations, methods of economic theory, marketing, etc. The aim of the article is to study modern features of administrative and legal regulation of innovative activity of enterprises in conditions of economic competition. The results of the study are to identify the typical principles of state innovation policy. The study of existing principles shows that they are largely based on administrative and legal methods of regulation, which is explained by the organizational and managerial focus of the principles of state innovation policy. Finally, the conclusion about the need to unify the principles of state innovation policy in relation to enterprises operating in a competitive environment is formulated. Conclusion. Analysis of the regulatory framework governing the innovative activities of enterprises has revealed a number of problems. The most important of them are: absence of unity in determining the fundamental concepts of the innovation sphere; lack of unity in determining the powers of executive authorities in the innovation sphere; inconsistency in the construction of executive authorities that regulate innovation activity; non-unity in determining the powers of the executive bodies of state power; legal and linguistic uncertainty in the formulation of the powers of the executive authorities; ambiguity of the range of issues on the adoption of normative legal acts regulating relations in the field of innovation; absence of unity in the definition of the object of state support; no uniformity in the interpretation of the concept of "state innovation policy" in the laws; vagueness and ambiguity in the definition of goals and objectives of state innovation policy; different interpretations of the concept of "state support to subjects of innovation activity"; unreasonable limitation of the range of recipients of state support; presence of excessive administrative barriers in obtaining state support. Based on the above, it can be concluded that the administrative-legal regulation in the field of innovation activities of enterprises in a competitive environment is in its formative stage and needs further improvement.
BALANCING THE INTERESTS OF TAXPAYERS AND TAX AUTHORITIES AS THE METHOD OF MINIMIZING TAX DISPUTES
Authors: Vasylieva Iryna
Published: February 2022

The author notes in the article that an increase in the number of tax disputes is influenced by many factors, including the constantly changing tax laws of Ukraine, low legal culture of taxpayers, the lack of professional training of representatives of tax authorities involved in tax audits, as the tax authority must correctly assess the circumstances, available facts and correctly apply to the facts of the current legal provisions, while preventing the abuse of power in making the relevant decision, which must be based on the public interest. A qualitative legislative regulation of the indisputable procedure for the collection of financial penalties will occur when financial penalties will be charged incontestably only in the absence of reasonable objections of the taxpayer, filed within the prescribed legal deadlines, that is, in the absence of a tax dispute. Finding a reasonable balance between the rights of taxpayers and the powers of the tax authorities should come to the fore when making changes to the tax legislation. The basis for achieving a balance between the interests of taxpayers and tax authorities can be served by proper explanatory and informational work. The state should develop a set of special measures to adapt taxpayers and employees of the tax authorities themselves to the action of the new tax legislation, regarding the corresponding change in their mentality, improvement of business cooperation and mutual understanding between them, increasing their responsibility for the performance of their tax obligations to the state and the realization of the rights provided by law. The institution of preliminary conclusions of tax authorities is proposed, which will simplify the assessment of tax losses by taxpayers in the planning of economic activities. The taxpayer submits an inquiry about the tax consequences of planned transactions and transactions with future counterparties for their riskiness. The tax authority then prepares and gives an opinion within two weeks.

Methodology. General scientific methods used in the study, in particular: theoretical generalization; methods of positive and normative analysis, statistical analysis. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the strategy of development of warehouse logistics as a component of transport and logistics systems in the focus of economic transformation. Results. The article substantiates the development strategy of warehouse logistics as a component of transport and logistics systems in the focus of economic transformation. The main components of the development strategy of logistics management at the macro-, meso- and micro-levels are revealed. The main directions of development of transport and logistics system of Ukraine in the context of European integration. It is emphasized that the multiplier effect of investment in transport and logistics does not work by itself, but requires effective management of the regional economy, a high level of business activity in the leading sectors of the regional economy and successful spatial planning. The identified multiplier indicators and their trends in the regions show that investment in the development of transport and, in particular, infrastructure is one of the important incentives for regional economic development. At the same time, the investment acceleration indicators in the dynamics show a downward trend in all regions, which indicates the insufficient level of funding for transport and logistics support against the background of the gradual growth of the regional economy. The article substantiates a system model for assessing the level of development of the transport and logistics system in the region. The structural model of the development strategy of regional warehousing logistics has been proposed. To clarify the nature, main tasks and role in the development of transport and logistics structures in the region, a structural model of the development strategy of warehouse logistics, which systematizes: the conditions necessary to build a warehouse infrastructure and organize logistics activities in the region; identified alternatives for the necessary scale, technology placement and communications of warehouse systems, as well as the types and forms of organizational links between market participants, which are directly or indirectly related to this activity.

Published: February 2022

Modern IT today is used in various spheres of public life, including in the management of the amalgamated hromadas, which will ensure the competitiveness of the amalgamated hromadas in the context of decentralized power. The purpose of this article is to improve the use of the latest information technology to ensure the competitiveness of amalgamated hromadas in the context of decentralized power. Methodology. The article considers the directions of using information technology to strengthen the competitiveness of amalgamated hromadas. Functional features of amalgamated hromadas’ attractiveness, which will significantly increase the attractiveness of amalgamated hromadas in comparison with standard sites, are proposed. The authors considered the optimization of the infrastructure of the processes of interaction of government/local government with the residents of the regions, which will solve many significant problems of the development of amalgamated hromadas. The authors proposed an algorithm for the use of IT technologies in the operation of the amalgamated hromadas, which is carried out in 4 stages. The organizational scheme of development of recommendation models based on artificial intelligence, thanks to which it is possible to optimize the work of the management office of the hromada, namely, the formation of its budget is considered. Results. It is established that IT directly affect public communications, having a solid managerial potential. It was revealed that the peculiarity of the development of amalgamated hromadas is the need for a comprehensive application of modern forms and methods of information support of their activities. In particular, it is the use of models based on artificial intelligence to ensure the competitiveness of amalgamated hromadas in order to function effectively. Amalgamated hromadas' effectiveness in the decentralization of power depends on the level of interaction with citizens and enterprises, the quality of work of each institution, and the exchange of authorities with each other. The development of an appropriate technical base will not solve all the problems in the system of local government. But it can significantly increase the effectiveness of its work at different levels. Practical consequences. The use of recommendation models based on artificial intelligence will allow for more effective budgeting in amalgamated hromadas and ensure a high level of transparency in the work of local authorities. Value/originality. Modern IT makes it possible to build a system that would quickly and timely respond to all dangerous events in real time and alert to the likelihood of threatening events in the community.

Authors: Bhattacharya Asit Baran , Pandy M. , Naskar Kinsuk
Published: February 2022

Power transmission by the belts is defined as, the transmission of power by a moving pulley to one or more driven machines through a flexible non-metallic member. There are different types of V-belts available, and Transmission Belts are one of them. Transmission V-Belt is the first invented non-metallic belts. Nowadays V-belts are used in various conditions, especially high-power transmission. These V-belts are finding their importance in many heavy industries. One of the good features of this type belt is no slippage occurs during the run. NR and SBR have used elastomers and can act as a base rubber material for this purpose. This study includes the compounding improvement for transmission V-Belts with NR and SBR rubber blends. There were so many numbers of failures in different ways during the initial research. Product failure methods and effect analysis (PFMA) have done by testing the belts multiple times and it has found that the major factors for the failure and less durability were excessive heat build-up (HBU) and poor fatigue resistance, poor crack initiation and growth, the resistance of the materials. So, initially reduction of HBU has successfully made in many steps by studying the properties of various compounds with a different type of fillers combinations, rubber combinations, curing systems variations etc. We have also improved the adhesion strength with cord and fabrics. Initially, we have taken one compound showing better properties in all aspects and have taken Belt Trial. And after some more improvement, we have found a compound showing better properties in all the cases than first trial and regular trials. By using that compound, we have developed Belts and showing better durability than earlier experiments and regular production.

The primary goal is to validate if there is a relationship between liquidity and economic profitability in hotels and restaurants sectors, in small and medium companies (SMCs). The question to be answered is whether the short-term view will not compromise the future results of those companies. After a literature review, hotels and restaurants financial ratios were analysed over 5 years. Data were also treated using linear regression, to understand if there is a relation between liquidity and economic profitability. All the financial information was obtained from the SABI database. According to the studied literature, it was not expected to have any relationship between liquidity and economic profitability. The study consists of the Portuguese context in the latest 5 years period before COVID-19, in the hotels and restaurants sector, and it does validate those previous studies. Indeed, findings show no relationship between both ratios. Findings show to hotels and restaurants managers that liquidity-based management does not necessarily lead to future economic profitability. Even if liquidity is necessary for accurate short-term management, it shall not be used to guide them in the decision-making process concerning economic profitability. The results obtained are of enormous importance to both practitioners and academics. Managers must understand that they must take into account the need for liquidity in a short-term vision, but they must also understand that this fact alone is not a guarantee of good profitability in a long-term vision. The results in the empirical study also help to reinforce the inexistence of a relationship between the liquidity ratio and the economic profitability ratio in the literature.

A new perspective into the treatment of factor V deficiency using mRNA and lipid nanoparticles.
Authors: SULEIMAN Damien
Published: February 2022

Inherited factor V deficiency is an extremely rare bleeding disorder with no proper treatment currently available and can result in fatal bleeding episodes for the most severe cases. It is characterized by mutations on the F5 gene and provokes reduced levels and activity of factor V (FV) , a critical protein involved in the coagulation process. One of the most promising biotechnologies in the medical field to tackle similar genetic disorders is the use of messenger RNA, being studied for the management of several conditions. Messenger RNA can be encapsulated into lipid nanoparticles, another promising non-viral delivery system. This present article will detail the possible therapeutic effects of a composition of FV mRNA encapsulated in LNPs, by hypothesizing its details, evaluating the possible treatment and suggesting a possible experimental study that may provide further data about this treatment.
Intergenerational equity and responsibility: a call to internalize impermanence into certifying carbon sequestration
Authors: Arcusa Stephanie , Lackner Klaus
Published: February 2022

Carbon Dioxide Removal that limits or reduces cumulative emissions for the goal of climate action requires sequestration. The assurance that carbon remains sequestered is colloquially known as permanence. In current certification frameworks, permanence is often ascribed a duration inconsistent with and much shorter than the scientific understanding of the lifetime of carbon in the environment. These frameworks treat “impermanence” as an externality. First, this violates the polluter-pays principle rooted in international law, as it absolves the emitter and storage operator of responsibility. Second, any failure of sequestration threatens intergenerational equity, which is a binding concept in climate treaties. Impermanence can be managed if the responsibility for future losses is clearly delineated. For responsible carbon management, we propose shifting the responsibility for the carbon onto the storage operator. As a result the cost of monitoring the carbon reservoir and re-sequestration of any losses will have to be incorporated into the cost of certificates of carbon sequestration. Internalizing monitoring and re-sequestration put temporary and long-term storage on equivalent footing and allow for both. It therefore would strengthen the likelihood of success in reaching the climate goal and would help bridge a major gap between typically short-lived “natural” solutions and theoretically long-lived “engineered” solutions without compromising intergenerational equity.

Pelayanan publik pada dasarnya menyangkut aspek kehidupan yang sangat luas dan juga merupakan salah satu unsur yang mendorong perubahan kualitas Pemerintahan Daerah. Bagaimanapun kecilnya suatu negara, negara tarsebut tetap akan membagi–bagi pemerintahan menjadi sistem yang lebih kecil (Pemerintahan Daerah) untuk memudahkan pelimpahan tugas dan wewenang. Pembagian daerah Indonesia atas daerah besar dan kecil dengan bentuk susunan pemerintahannya ditetapkan dengan undang–undang, dengan memandang dan mengingati dasar permusyawaratan dalam sistem pemerintahan negara, dan hak–hak asal–usul dalam daerah yang bersifat istimewa. Dalam kehidupan bernegara, maka pemerintah memiliki fungsi memberikan berbagai pelayanan publik yang diperlukan oleh masyarakat, mulai dari pelayanan dalam bentuk pengaturan atau pun pelayanan–pelayanan lain dalam rangka memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat dalam bidang pendidikan, kesehatan, utilitas dan lainnya.

Diabetes Mellitus, evaluación del perfil de riesgo y efecto de la intervención multifactorial en el primer nivel de atención.
Authors: Ortiz-Vilchis Cristian Miguel
Published: February 2022

La diabetes mellitus, es un grupo de trastornos metabólicos caracterizados por altos niveles de carbohidratos séricos. Datos del 2017, estiman que 425 millones de personas padecen diabetes en todo el mundo, representando alrededor del 90% de los casos la diabetes tipo 2, 8.8% de la población adulta, con tasas iguales tanto en mujeres como en hombres. La enfermedad duplica el riesgo de muerte prematura para una persona, registrándose en 2017 5 millones de muertes. Actualmente representa el mayor gasto en la atención médica personal que cualquier otra afección. Numerosos factores, además de las complicaciones médicas directamente relacionadas, contribuyen al impacto de la diabetes en la calidad de vida y la economía, asociándose una alta prevalencia de morbilidad que impacta negativamente en el empleo, el absentismo y la productividad laboral, existiendo gran pérdida de recursos relacionados con la productividad para los sistemas de salud y los gobiernos. Esta revisión buscará proporcionar una visión íntegra de la atención médica adecuada para pacientes con diabetes. Así como analizar los datos obtenidos en el estudio Steno-2 y su influencia como intervención multifactorial. El enfoque médico basado en evidencia es consistente con las pautas de la Asociación Americana de Diabetes (ADA), que se publican anualmente.
Nudging Sustainable Grocery Consumption Online by Digital Carbon Labels and Descriptive Social Norms
Authors: Parker Freddy
Published: February 2022

Background: Carbon labels and descriptive social norms have been used as ‘nudges’ to increase sustainable consumption in shopping and food environments. Aims: This experiment investigates the relative and combined efficacies of digital carbon labels and descriptive social norms to increase sustainable consumption in an online grocery shop simulation, and explores how receptive participants are to this. Method: Five hundred and forty-seven participants made product selections from ten common grocery product categories presented to them digitally. One group was presented products with carbon labels, another was presented products with a descriptive social norm, a third was presented products with both carbon labels and a descriptive social norm, while controls were presented with products only. Participants indicated how comfortable the nudges made them feel, and how far the nudges impacted their decision-making and made them more considerate of the environment. Results: Participants exposed to the carbon label and combined carbon label with descriptive social norm were significantly more likely to choose lower-emission options than controls, but there was no significant difference in product selection between controls and the descriptive social norm-only condition. Participants in nudge conditions reported feeling comfortable with both carbon labels and descriptive social norms, but rated the carbon label as having a significantly greater impact on their decision-making and in making them more considerate of the environment. Participants’ open-ended comments noted carbon labels as desirable, and offered recommendations for future research and nudge designs. Conclusion: This experiment found that while a simple, digital carbon label can significantly increase sustainable consumption online, this was not the case for the descriptive social norm in the form used by this study.
Interpretable machine learning for psychological research: Opportunities and pitfalls

In recent years, machine learning methods have become increasingly popular prediction methods in psychology. At the same time, psychological researchers are typically not only interested in making predictions about the dependent variable, but also in learning which predictor variables are relevant, how they influence the dependent variable, and which predictors interact with each other. However, most machine learning methods are not directly interpretable. Interpretation techniques that support researchers in describing how the machine learning technique came to its prediction may be a means to this end. We present a variety of interpretation techniques and illustrate the opportunities they provide for interpreting the results of two widely used black box machine learning methods that serve as our examples: random forests and neural networks. At the same time, we illustrate potential pitfalls and risks of misinterpretation that may occur in certain data settings. We show in which way correlated predictors impact interpretations with regard to the relevance or shape of predictor effects and in which situations interaction effects may or may not be detected. We use simulated didactic examples throughout the article, as well as an empirical data set for illustrating an approach to objectify the interpretation of visualizations. We conclude that, when critically reflected, interpretable machine learning techniques may provide useful tools when describing complex psychological relationships.

Background: In traditional medicine, the fruit of Trachyspermum ammi (Family: Umbelliferae), commonly known as Asamodagam in Sinhala; Omum in Tamil and Ajowan or Bishop’s weed in English is used in gastro intestinal disorders (loss of appetite, dyspepsia, diarrhea, abdominal pains, abdominal distension and vomiting) and respiratory diseases (Bronchial asthma). The water distillate (omatheeneer or oma water or asamodagam spirit) is used for stomach problems in children. The fruits of this plant are used in different forms such as powder, decoction and oma water in adults also. It is reported that essential oil and the solvent extracts of fruits are active against Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus sp. and Bacillus licheniformis. Objective and Methodology: An attempt was taken to investigate the (a) antimicrobial properties of essential oil of T. ammi fruits against 8 human pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus (NCTC 6571), Escherichia coli (NCTC 10418), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NCTC 10662) and five wild strains of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by disc diffusion method and (b) chemical composition of the essential oil of T. ammi fruits by Gas Chromatography (GC). Results: Essential oil of T. ammi showed inhibitory activity against all tested microorganisms. The zone of inhibition was ranged from 21–30 mm The major compound present in the essential oil of T. ammi fruits was thymol (60.7%) followed by -cymene (21.7%) and -terpinene (13.6%). Conclusion: Findings of the present study will be helpful to develop antiseptic creams or lotions from fruits of T. ammi essential oil.
