Authors: Tsiring D.A. , Vazhenin A.V. , Ponomareva I.V. , Pakhomova Y.N.
Published: February 2024

Among oncological diseases, prostate cancer ranks third after lung and stomach cancer. A timely (early) application of patients for medical help, early diagnosis and early treatment are the factors of a favourable course and survival rate. The purpose of the study is to identify a set of psychological predictors associated with untimely primary care-seeking in men with prostate cancer. 81 men diagnosed with prostate cancer took part in the study, aged from 53 to 85 years old (mean age — 64.4, standard deviation — 8.8), 42 men at early stages of the disease (I, II), 39 men at late stages (III, IV), who first sought professional medical help in the Chelyabinsk Regional Clinical Centre of Oncology and Nuclear Medicine, Chelyabinsk, Russia. Seeking medical help at the early stages of the disease (I, II stages) is timely, or an early application, while treatment at later stages (III, IV) is late treatment. The study used survey methods, in particular, psychodiagnostic techniques: the World Assumptions Scale (R. Janoff-Bulman; adapted by M.A. Padun, A.V. Kotelnikova), the Level of Subjective Control method (E.F. Bazhin, E.A. Golynkina, L.M. Etkind), the Life Orientation Test (M.F. Scheier, C.S. Carpenter, adapted by D.A. Tsiring, K.Y. Evnina), the S. Maddi test of resilience, adapted by D.A. Leontiev, E.I. Rasskazova, the SF-36 “Quality of Life Assessment” questionnaire (the translation into Russian and the approbation of the methodology was carried out by the Institute of Clinical and Pharmacological Research, St. Petersburg). The study found that men who do not seek medical help in a timely manner experience intense pain that interferes with their daily activity, they are also internalized in the field of industrial relations, showing more personal responsibility for successes and failures in the professional sphere. Also, men with prostate cancer who seek help in the late stages of the disease are close to a pessimistic expectation of the future.

Authors: Shimokhin Anton V. , Kirasirov Oleg M.
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND: Stable significant degree of wear of on-ground vehicles of transport industry and of agricultural machinery keeps improvement of maintenance management relevant. Development of the procedure for improving the maintenance process using state-of-the-art digital technologies is a relevant technical problem.
AIM: Determination of parameters for development of the procedure of making good managing decisions in the process of maintenance and repair of products in conditions of planned and preventive repair system using the neural network technology.
METHODS: Simulation of operation of the proposed neural network was performed in the Deductor software. The built model of the neural network contains one hidden layer with 10 neurons. A sigmoidal function was used as an activation function in neurons of the neural network model. Tools and definitions of mathematical statistics and algorithms theory were used for solving the given problems.
RESULTS: The cycle variation coefficient is proposed for revealing the necessity of managing impact on the processes of maintenance and repair of products. The proposed values of the coefficient describe stability of product maintenance and repair process. Using these values, the block diagram of the procedure of improving the maintenance process was developed.
The tool of the industry 4.0 neural networks was considered. The performed simulation based on the example of vibrational diagnostics of a bearing unit showed that neural networks are capable of defining defects using amplitude-frequency response of a vibration signal that means to interpret the diagnostic information that can be crucial in conditions of expert absence.
The scientific novelty of the study lies in presenting the values of the cycle variation coefficient for making managing decisions in maintenance and repair processes, as well as in obtaining the results of simulation of the neural network operation that confirms potential for their use for interpretation of diagnostic information which is presented in a form of various spectrographs.
CONCLUSIONS: The practical value of the study lies in the potential of using the proposed neural network for development of the system of diagnostic information analysis in condition of expert absence and using the proposed values of the cycle variation coefficient for decision-making in management of maintenance and repair.

Korelasi Karbon Monoksida dan Derajat Rokok dengan Fungsi Paru pada Pengemudi Ojek Online
Authors: Khairani Rita , Putri Mustika Anggiane , Setyaningrum Dyah Ayu Woro
Published: February 2024

Latar Belakang
Asap rokok  merupakan sumber utama pajanan terhadap karbon monoksida (CO) selain polusi udara. Saat asap rokok terinhalasi, karbon monoksida akan diabsorpsi melalui paru, masuk ke dalam aliran darah kemudian akan berikatan dengan hemoglobin untuk membentuk karboksi – hemoglobin (COHb) yang kadarnya dalam darah dapat diukur sebagai marker absorpsi asap rokok. Baik rokok atau CO dapat mempengaruhi fungsi paru, setelah merokok maka kadar CO dalam darah akan meningkat dan fungsi paru akan menurun secara bermakna.
Metode
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode observasional analitik dengan desain potong lintang dengan besar sampel 99 responden. Pengambilan data pada bulan September-Desember 2022 dengan menggunakan kuesioner Indeks Brinkman, Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND), pengukuran CO ekspirasi dan pemeriksaan spirometri
Hasil
Sebanyak 47.5% responden  memiliki kadar CO ekspirasi  sebesar 0-6 ppm yang masih berada pada zona hijau, 77.8% responden merokok, 57.6% memiliki skor FTND 0-2, sebanyak 51.5% mengalami gangguan restriksi dan 79.5% responden mengalami gangguan obstruksi saluran napas. Kadar CO ekspirasi berkorelasi erat dengan indeks Brinkman (r=0.654, p=0.000), dan berkorelasi sedang bermakna dengan skor FTND (r=0.544, p=0.000). Tidak ada korelasi kadar CO ekspirasi, indeks Brinkman dan ketergantungan terhadap nikotin dengan fungsi paru.
Kesimpulan
kadar CO ekspirasi berkorelasi erat dengan rokok dan ketergantungan nikotin tetapi tidak berkorelasi dengan fungsi paru.
Medical and Ethical Studies Cannabis/Marijuana Use Controversy in Indonesia: A Literature Review
Authors: Dewi Ervin Dyah Ayu Masita , Marzuki H. Y Jefman Efendi , Mulyono Rico
Published: February 2024

The use of marijuana/cannabis for therapy, especially for certain neurological diseases, is still causing controversy in various countries, including Indonesia. Various studies continue to be carried out while certain parties feel they have the right to get treatment through marijuana based on testimonials and previous research. The urge to legalize the use of marijuana as an alternative therapy is getting tougher, including in Indonesia. Judging from medical ethics, therapy can be applied if its use is following medical indications, the benefits outweigh the risks, its use respects human dignity, and has been clinically tested with scientific research. This research used literature studies from various references to analyze the medical and ethical aspects of using marijuana as a therapy. Potentially Cannabidiol in cannabis can be an alternative therapy, provided that it has passed the correct and ethical scientific research, which is not yet complete. Thus, the legalization of the use of cannabis/marijuana as a therapy still requires stronger and more valid scientific evidence so that the use of cannabis does not reduce human dignity, especially patients as vulnerable people under the pretext of humanity.

Published: February 2024

El artículo forja un estudio sobre la importancia que tiene “Rip Van Winkle” (Irving,1819) en la narrativa corta norteamericana, así como en la etnografía literaria. En un primer término se realiza una comparación entre los literatos americanos clásicos e Irving para determinar las características propias del relato en cuestión. A continuación, se hace una referencia a críticos literarios como es el caso de Ross, Stanley, Mengeling, que han estudiado la obra desde varias perspectivas. Y es el mismo Ross quien descubre que RVW tiene como referencia una leyenda alemana de Federico Barbarroja del siglo XII. Finalmente, se procede a un estudio etnográfico de la sociedad dieciochesca de Nueva York y más concretamente de los asentamientos holandeses de esa zona, que se llamaron la Nueva Ámsterdam. Todo a través de las pinceladas históricas que la obra va dejando en su inolvidable relato.

Published: February 2024

The study was carried out to examine the biostimulatory effect of pig dung and oil palm fruit chaff on remediation of soil contaminated with diesel fuel. Different rates (0, 1 and 2kg) of pig dung and 1kg of oil palm fruit chaff and were applied to diesel fuel contaminated soils at (0, 1litre and 2litre /ha) of diesel fuel respectively were used. A total of twelve (12) treatments combination with three (3) replicates each summing to thirty-six (36) plots were used. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design. The soil physicochemical parameters that were examined are pH, total organic content (TOC), nitrogen (N), carbon to nitrogen ratio (C:N), phosphorus (P) CEC, TPH and PAH. The results for soil physicochemical parameters showed significant variations (P<0.05) in the levels of pH, phosphorus, Cation Exchange Capacity, carbon to nitrogen ratio (C:N) associated with pollution and biodegradation occurring within the soils, the result shows high levels in total organic carbon (TOC) and Nitrogen. Soil analysis during the experiment revealed a general negative correlation coefficient implying enhanced remediation during the trial periods. The research has shown that pig dung and oil palm fruit chaff are good biostimulatory agent in the remediation and restoration of diesel fuel polluted soil.

Published: February 2024

The following mathematical model (recurrent equation with time lag) for describing of the non-uniform anadrom fish population number dynamics is suggested. Conditions causing regular and chaotic fluctuations in the system were found. The influence of two different craft methods оn the population dynamics is investigated. It is supposed that volume of a craft depends on trade efforts and current value of number. It is shown that if the value оf trade efforts depends оn number nonlinearly then intensification of such craft inevitably brings the population either into oscillation (or chaotic) regim or to degeneration.

Authors:   Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture, Muzychuk Oleg
Published: February 2024

Well-known Lottky - Volterra scheme for self-regulated «beast - sacrifice» associations with Gaussian Markoff fluctuations of trophical coefficient was considered. Numerical solution of the system of relaxation equations, closured by special way, for population number mean values and dispersions was obtained. On this base the evolution оf model probability distributions was constructed. Though we used the approximative method оf analysis, for considering stochastic system it leads to exact results for stationary probability characteristics for both δ-correlated and quasi-static parameter’s fluctuations. For the last situation the relaxation of probability characteristics was investigated by numerical averaging оf stochastic equations. Such analysis gave us the possibility to detect essential difference in results of the influence оf wide-band оr low-frequency parameter’s fluctuations оn statistical dynamics of the system.

The study of numerical model for behaviour of charges in crossed electric and magnetic fields at the change of control parameters (disturbing field, cyclotron frequency and initial speeds of charge) was carried out. On the basis of Lyapunov exponents calculation the areas of existence of regular and chaotic behaviour of system are determined. Features of the electrons trajectories in the case of radial nonhomogeneous H field are discussed also. It is shown the movement of electrons in the area with strong H field leads to appearance of regular dynamics instead of chaotic one. The calculation of the Lyapunov exponents, power spectra, Lyapunov maps of regimes has been done.

The complexation of rare earth elements (REE) La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm and Yb with o-phthalic acid at p = 0.2(KCI) in the temperature range 298 was studied using the potentiometric method. -328 K. In the pH region = 3.8-5, the existence of a complex particle of composition LnL was discovered, where +Ln - REE, L - SzNYUL. Based on the dependence of the stability constants of complex particles on temperature, the thermodynamic functions of the formation of complexes AG, AN and AS were calculated. Positive values of AN and AS suggested significant destruction of hydration shells and the formation of intrasphere complexes. High positive AS values indicate that phthalic acid is a bidentate ligand.

For field experiments in an effort to elucidate functions of the wheat lectin (wheat germ agglutinin, WGA), the establishment of varieties sharply contrasting in the lectin content is very important. As the starting point for solution of this problem we studied the WGA variability in the seeds of 33 spring wheat varieties obtained in two different breeding centers: Saratov's and Kharkov’s those. The vari­ ability in response to environment for Saratovskaya 29 was also estimated. It was found that the maximal variability in the WGA seed content is intrinsic to varieties of soft wheat originated from Saratov's breeding center. WGA is known to involve in the wheat adaptation to stresses and to interact with root microflora; taking into account this fact we propose that the high variability of wheats from Saratov region is associated with more continental climate in which the breeding of the tested varieties was performed.
Słowo architekta. Opowieści o architekturze Polski Ludowej
Authors: Ciarkowski Błażej
Published: February 2024

W latach 60. i 70. człowiek siedział w domu i albo pił wódkę albo myślał. Był czas na myślenie, bo nie było co robić. Francuz, Niemiec czy Amerykanin ciągle pracował, a ten się nudził. Wobec tego robił konkursy. W ten żartobliwy sposób architekt Stefan Müller opisywał genezę międzynarodowych sukcesów polskich projektantów. Czy rzeczywiście szarzyzna peerelowskiej codzienności zmuszała do ucieczki w sferę wyobraźni, a fantastyczne wizje nowoczesnych budynków miały być odskocznią od projektowania nudnych osiedli z wielkiej płyty? A może to zasługa organizacji wielobranżowych biur projektów i doskonałej edukacji, jaką młodzi polscy·projektanci odebrali od starych mistrzów? By spróbować odpowiedzieć na te pytania i wiele innych, autor postanowił wsłuchać się w głosy wybitnych architektów działających w latach 1945–1989. Kilkadziesiąt wywiadów, setki anegdot, różne stanowiska i wybory – to wszystko tworzy rozproszoną strukturę książki Słowo architekta. Opowieści o architekturze Polski Ludowej. Mnogość osobistych narracji i wspomnień układa się tu w wielowarstwowy obraz, w którym pojęcie „prawdy" stale podlega negocjacjom. Zamiast jednej, wiodącej ścieżki interpretacyjnej autor przedstawia wielość równoprawnych, indywidualnych mikrohistorii – fascynujących i niejednoznacznych jak architektura tamtych czasów.

ABSTRAK

Praktik gratifikasi dan suap yang dilakukan oleh pejabat negara merupakan suatu masalah yang saat ini dihadapi bangsa Indonesia. Sepanjang ini perumusan peraturan mengenai perbuatan gratifikasi dan suap dibedakan berdasarkan adanya yang diperjanjikan. Artinya suap dapat berupa janji, sedangkan gratifikasi merupakan pemberian dalam arti luas dan bukan janji. Melalui putusan nomor Nomor 68/Pid.Sus-TPK/2018/PN.Jkt.Pst perlu dipahami lebih lanjut bagaimana putusan tersebut memaknai suap dan gratifikasi dalam konteks tindak pidana korupsi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali pemaknaan dan interpretasi hukum terkait suap dan gratifikasi dalam putusan pengadilan tersebut. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis isi terhadap putusan pengadilan, dengan mengidentifikasi argumen hukum yang digunakan, pendekatan hukum yang diadopsi, dan pertimbangan yang diberikan oleh hakim. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa putusan pengadilan tersebut memberikan pengertian yang jelas mengenai suap dan gratifikasi sebagai tindak pidana korupsi. Dalam konteks ini, suap diartikan sebagai pemberian atau janji pemberian kepada pejabat publik dengan tujuan mempengaruhi keputusan atau tindakan pejabat tersebut. Sementara itu, gratifikasi diartikan sebagai pemberian hadiah atau imbalan kepada pejabat publik sebagai bentuk penghargaan atau imbalan atas tindakan atau keputusan yang telah diambil.

The image of the Siberian city in a German travelogue of the 19 century (based on the pages of Otto Finsch’s “Travels to Western Siberia”)
Authors:   Altai State University, Deminova Marina A. , Khalina Natalya V. , Yanchevskaya Ksenia A.
Published: February 2024

The article considers the image of the Siberian city of the 19 century as an event phenomenon that is formed in the narrative space of travelogue. From the many descriptions of Siberian cities that take place in the travelogue “Journey to Western Siberia”, the description of the city of Barnaul is selected, presented in chapter X “From the Altai village to Tomsk”. In the list of the main events of the trip to Western Siberia, the object of the imaginary geography “Barnaul” is considered. In Finsch’s travelogue, the object of imaginary geography appears in the reader’s mental discourse in the form of a plot, the linear development of which is based on the alternation of stories, qualities of city residents, city attractions. The analysis makes it possible to identify a model that is convenient for the European contemplator-the formula of his narrative immersion in the depicted Western Siberian landscape, which allows the reader to imagine himself as a participant in the event and experience the need to become a participant in the event and “place himself” in the narrative and thus realize opportunities that are not in demand in life To identify the features of the formation of conceptual level knowledge in the German travelogue of the 19 century, it is useful to turn to the ideas of literary geography, which considers the narrative as a form of mapping, organizing vital data into recognizable patterns that help both the viewer and the reader or writer to understand the system of connections, of which he becomes a part in the narrative of life. The synthesis of narrative analysis techniques, structural analysis, ideas of literary and imaginative geography, cognitive-structural approach to event analysis allows the authors to determine the specifics of the European travelogue of the 19 century.

Published: February 2024

Background: Demineralization of dentin is a condition of dissolving minerals in peritubular dentin due to exposure to acids that release hydroxyapatite ions. To prevent dentin demineralization, a therapeutic agent that can inhibit the dissolution ability of hydroxyapatite ions is needed. One therapeutic agent that can be used is the Mauli banana (MB) stem gel. Purpose: To observe the characteristics of dentin demineralization after the use of MB stem extract gel. Method: Mandibular incisor bovine teeth were demineralized with lactic acid pH 4.5 for 72 hours and then treated with 25%; 37.5%; 50%; and 62.5% MB gel and Chlorhexidine 2% for one minute. All samples were soaked in artificial saliva with 1 mg/ml saliva of collagenase enzyme for 24 hours. The characteristic of dentin demineralization was observed by using scanning electron microscope/electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). Results: The SEM image in the control, Chlorhexidine, 25%; 37.5%; 50%; and 62.5% MB gel groups showed dentinal tubules of about 3.67–4.94 µm; 3.55–4 µm; 4.18–5.6 µm; 2.28–2.86 µm; 3.29–3.81 µm; and 2.42–3.17 µm in size. The EDX test found carbon (C), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), sodium (Na), phosphorous (P), chlorine (Cl), and calcium (Ca) in all groups. The one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test results showed significant differences in the levels of C, N, O, Cl, and Ca between all groups, while the Na showed no significant differences. Conclusion: The MB can inhibit the demineralization of bovine dentin based on the decrease in the size of the dentinal tubules and increasing the C, O, P, and Ca.

Background: Intrusion is one of the most needed movements in orthodontics. It is possible to achieve this with arch wires, miniscrews, and bite-blocks. Purpose: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate forces achieved by different types of intrusion arches made of different materials and anchored in two different horizontal levels by either miniscrews or molar teeth. Methods: An upper jaw typodont was applied different types of intrusion arches: intrusion and utility arches, made of different materials (nitinol, beta III titanium, stainless steel) and different wire sizes (0.016” x 0.022” and 0.017” x 0.025”) to the incisors, both anchoring from molars and miniscrews respectively. Each application was measured by a Correx gauge. Each wire was applied to both the auxiliary slot of the triple tube and the slot in the head of the miniscrew. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukey’s HSD test, and a paired two-sample t-test were used to analyze the data. Results: In the intrusion arches, the main effect of the material was found to be statistically significant on force values (p = 0.034) while the main effect of the size was not found statistically significant on force values (p = 0.083). In the utility arches, both the main effect of the material (p = 0.067) and the size (p = 0.140) were not found to be statistically significant on force values. Conclusion: Regardless of the anchorage unit level and size, nitinol was the material that applied the lowest forces among all materials. The material is the most effective factor in the force generated, while the anchorage unit level is the least.

With a rising trend in obesity, diabetes and bariatric surgeries in India, nutrition care and management of patients post-surgery is still a cause of concern. To assess the impact of the nutrition care process on remission of “diabesity” and associated factors post Roux-en YGastric Bypass (RYGB) bariatric surgery. A single-point, hospital-based, Cohort- Case-Control, 3-month longitudinal study of 73 RYGB patients enrolled based on consent. Experimental (E) group (n=36) received nutritional care through personal counselling, group counselling and digital means under 3 broad management categories: 1) Pre-surgery nutritional assessment, diagnosis and counselling (deficiencies and diet), 2) Post-surgery diet progression, nutritional therapy for early and late complications, physical activity progression and behaviour related eating complications; and 3) Guidance and recommendations for lifelong follow-ups and importance of supplementation, as compared to the Control (C) group (n=37) which received care as per old protocols. Pre-post indicators related to weight loss and remission of diabetes were done as per the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery guidelines and quality of life post bariatric surgery was done as per Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System (BAROS). All data were analyzed using SPSS-23 software. Post 3 mos. significant (≤0.001) weight loss (34 kg vs. 29 kg), remission in diabetes (49% vs. 34%) and improved quality of life scores were recorded in the experimental group as compared to the control group. A customized 3-section Nutritional Care Process is recommended in all bariatric surgery settings for improved nutritional and quality of life outcomes post-surgery.

Disturbed lipid profile refers to the abundance or lack of lipoprotein component which is a repercussion of ruined and impaired lipoprotein metabolism involving degraded levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, non high density, low density and high density lipoproteins. Scientific studies have proven that nutrition has a pivotal role in the management of hyperlipidemia. Keeping this in view, a research project was planned to develop the soya and makhana baked goods with hypolipidemic properties. Present study was performed on product development, sensory evaluation, standardization and nutritional calculation of baked soya and makhana cookies enriched with hypolipidemic mixture so as to nutritionally improve the disturbed lipid parameters. Hypolipidemic nutritional mixture was developed using chia seeds, almonds, wheat bran and mango seed powder. Baked soya and makhana cookies were enriched using developed hypolipidemic nutritional mixture at different incorporation levels. These products were tested for their suitability using 9 point hedonic scale and nutritional value was calculated using RDA 2020 and IFCT 2017. The most acceptable mean sensory scores of baked soya and whole wheat cookies enriched with hypolipidemic mixture at 12 and 15% incorporation levels were 7.75±0.75 and 7.59±0.91 respectively. Statistically, baked cookies with hypolipidemic properties had significant higher content of dietary fiber, monounsaturated fatty acids and linoleic acid. Baked soya and makhana cookies with hypolipidemic properties had high level of nutrients which are scientifically responsible for nutritionally managing and improving the perturbed lipid parameters accompanied by acceptable organoleptic scores.

Malnutrition refers to a broad range of health issues, including undernutrition and overnutrition."Undernutrition" is a condition marked by stunting (a low height-to-age ratio), wasting (a low weight-to-height ratio), and underweight (a low weight-to-age ratio) as well as micronutrient deficiencies or insufficiencies. The aim of the study was to assess the nutritional status of undernutrition young children (12 to 23 months) in the flood-affected zone in Samastipur district of Bihar, India. A structured questionnaire was used to gather general information such as age, gender, family size, economic status, and clinical signs. Dietary intake data was collected using the 24-hour recall method, which resulted that the mean height and weight of the subjects were 76.90 ± 2.99 cm and 8.50 ± 0.73 kg respectively. It was found that the majority of the subjects were breastfed milk as well as weaning food only 2-3 times, in which the mean nutrient intake of energy, protein, calcium, and iron was 500.88 ± 68.15 Kcal (50.28%), 4.85 ± 0.55 (43.00%), 169.86 ± 19.42 (35.88%) mg and 1.85 ± 1.82 mg (23.25%) respectively, in which the dietary intake was comparatively low when compared with the EAR and RDA by ICMR. It was concluded that the selected subjects did not receive adequate nutrition to maintain their health and nutritional status and were undernourished.

Bio-colourants for food are extracted from plant sources that it is becoming a huge demand in the global market of processed foods and confectionaries. Natural colours play a vital role in food safety and also in meeting the needs of food consumption practices for the growing crisis in the availability of healthy foods. Aim of the bio colours is to replace synthetic colours like sunset yellow FCF, Allura Red, Ponceau 4R, Amaranth and Brown HT as they are becoming a wide range of threat to the human race, especially in bringing psychological changes in children and adolescents. Usually bio-colourants are extracted from almost all the parts of a plant. But majority of the colours are extracted from leaves and barks, whereas few colours in specific are extracted from fruits, seeds and some from petals of flowers. In this study, bio-colouring agents such as madder roots (Rubia cordifolia), eucalyptus bark (Eucalyptus grandis), annatto seeds (Bixaorellana), roselle petals (Hibiscus sabdariffa) and tamarind seeds (Tamarindus indica) were identified and used in extraction of colours. The colours obtained were of different shades of red like: sangria red, rusty red and yellow red. These natural food colours were extracted from their natural sources through two processes:10 per cent aqueous extraction (reflux, boiling) and powdering the substances. The pH of the extracts was taken to know their level of hydrogen ion concentration. To verify,if these extracts are edible and stable, preliminary toxicology study was carried out in brine shrimp assay. On the other hand, every fourth day the discolouring of the extracts was constantly measured using Food Colour Reader. The aqueous extracts showed discolouring and formation of microbial layer even when preserved in refrigerator in sterilized glass bottles, whereas the powdered substances remained the same with no discolouring or microbial activity in it. The toxicity study has practically proved that the powdered substances in various concentrations of 100, 250, 500, 1000 and 1500 µg/ml has the overall lowest mortality rate in consideration to mean and standard deviation (M ± SD) of 11.7 ± 10.7, than to the aqueous extraction samples of 73.7 ± 22.8 respectively. This study is carried out to promote and incorporate bio-colours in foods that can be consumed on daily basis, replacing the commercially available hazardous food colourants.
