Authors: Surya K. P. , Sujith Anjana , Kumar Ashvini M. , Lohith B. A.
Published: September 2022

Background: Henoch-Schonleinpurpura (HSP) is an acute, systemic, immune-complex-mediated, leukocytoclastic vasculitis characterized by a triad of Palpable purpura (without thrombocytopenia), Abdominal pain and Arthritis. Most patients have an antecedent upper respiratory illness. More than 90% of HSP cases occur in children younger than 10 years; however, adults with this condition are more likely to experience complications than children. All patients with HSP develop a Purpuric Rash, 75% develop Arthritis, 60-65% develop Abdominal pain, and 40-50% develop Renal disease. The signs and symptoms of HSP can be related to RaktaPradoshajaVyadhis in Ayurveda. The intake of raktapradoshajanidanas and pitta prakopanidanas (aharas and viharas) eventually leads to the progression of the disease pathology. The patient often presents with symptoms like vyanga(pigmentation), daha(burning sensation), kandu(itching), rukshata(dryness), raga(redness) over skin, udarashoola (colicky pain) and sandhi vedana(joint pain). Aim: To evaluate the role of Ayurvedic management of HSP (Raktapradoshajavyadhi) and to demonstrate how Panchakarma treatments maybe effective in managing auto-immune disorders like HSP.Materials &methods: In this case study a female subject aged 13 years diagnosed of HSP was treated with Panchakarma treatments (Bahir-parimarjana and Antah-parimarjanachikitsa) over a period of 7 days and results were observed.Results: Striking and noteworthy changes in the symptoms were observed by Ayurvedic management.

Published: September 2022

This paper deals with remittance and the economic growth of Nepal. Remittance is a significant source of the Nepalese economy. It is one of the critical sectors, and it has directly related to the immigration of people. This study aims to identify the relationship between Nepal's migration, remittance, and the economic growth. This paper is based on secondary sources of information. The Granger causality test examines the causality between remittance and economic growth of Nepal. The result of the Granger causality test shows that both the Nepalese people's entry and exit from the country are significant for the economic growth of Nepal. The remittance received from migrated people is significant for the economic growth of Nepal. The contribution of remittance to GDP has increased, and the poverty level has decreased over the years. The education sector has improved, and the development level is gradually increasing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for policies with a high priority on national interests for managing international migration (both emigration and immigration) and remittance. This implies that the policy maker should implement an appropriate policy to invest in capital formation. It may be conducive to the economic growth of Nepal.

Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM) occupies approximately 90% of total area on a chip due to high number of transistors used for a single SRAM cell. Therefore, SRAM cell becomes a power-hungry block on a chip and it becomes more prominent at lower technologies from both dynamic and static perspective. Static power consumption is due to leakage current associated with the transistors that are off and dynamic power consumption is due to charging and discharging of the circuit capacitance. As gate length or channel length decreases gate oxide thickness also scales down. Scaling down of conventional transistor results in huge tunneling of electron from gate into channel leading to higher leakage power consumption. So, transistor with metal gate, high-k dielectric and strained-Si is used which shows better result in terms of low-power consumption, better performance with acceptable delay. Among various topologies of SRAM cell 6T is considered as a suitable choice for low power applications.

Published: September 2022

Penelitian ini membahas terkait dengan pengembangan model pengelolaan pendidikan karakter di Sekolah. Melalui telaah pemahaman secara tekstual dan kontekstual. Permasalahan yang ada dijawab melalui penelitian kepustakaan (library research). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada era globalisasi sekarang ini lemahnya karakter bangsa dirasakan pada tata kehidupan masyarakat yang berubah. Sikap individualisme yang semakin marak menyebabkan berkurangnya rasa kepedulian terhadap lingkungan sekitar karena lebih mementingkan kepentingan pribadi. Sikap tersebut tentunya sangat bertentangan dengan budaya di Indonesia, yang selalu menjunjung tinggi nilai kebersamaan. Bentuk lain dari rusaknya karakter bangs akita adalah menjamurnya sikap Hedonisme. Sikap ini mendorong seseorang melakukan kegiatan yang menghabiskan uang dan waktu untuk berfoya-foya. Dampak serius dari globalisasi lainnya adalah Sekularisme karena memisahkan urusan dunia dengan agama, masyarakat menganggap bahwa urusan agama sebagai ritual yang bertentangan dengan kesenangan dunia. Selanjutnya adalah konsumerisme yakni menggunakan uang demi membeli barang yang tidak diperlukan. Semua ekses negatif tersebut harus diatasi dengan sungguh-sungguh agar masyarakat memiliki kesungguhan dalam menumbuhkembangkan karakter dan budaya asli Indonesia. Guna mendapatkan model-model penanaman nilai karakter, kita perlu belajar dari bangsa-bangsa yang telah berhasil membangun karakter yang kuat. Satu di antaranya adalah Bangsa Jepang.

The national culture of each country is certainly different. It certainly contains a cultural direction that influences the character of the citizens of that country. The character of each country's human resources is clearly shaped by the national culture adopted. In the business world, it is possible for a country to open a business unit in a country that they perceive as having an accommodative investment climate. No wonder an automotive manufacturer from Japan, for example, will set up its industry in Thailand, Vietnam, Latin America, to the European region. This study will look at the extent to which the role of national culture influences work culture in the company. Likewise, a country's company in transferring the management of Human Resources (HR) to its subsidiaries in various countries. This research is a qualitative literature review with descriptive method, corporate culture differs in one country and another where the company is located. Then the conclusion that can be drawn is that the management of manpower will depend on the national culture of the country.

Authors: Copetti Leonardo Sangoi , Coronel Daniel Arruda
Published: September 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho consistiu no exame da relação entre variações cambiais e os preços brasileiros de exportação do etanol, relação definida como o pass-through da taxa de câmbio, tendo como referência o período de março de 2005 a fevereiro de 2019. Para tanto, estimaram-se dois modelos: em dólar e em euro. Os dados foram coletados nos sites do Centro de Estudos Avançados em Economia Aplicada - CEPEA, Instituto de Economia Aplicada – IPEA e no Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board – AHDB. Neste sentido, fez-se uso dos instrumentais de séries temporais, especialmente do Modelo Vetor de Correção de Erros (VEC). Os resultados encontrados forneceram indicações de que o grau de pass-through da taxa de câmbio para os preços de exportação do etanol ocorreu de forma incompleta, com os coeficientes para dólar e euro de, respectivamente, 0,36 e 0,64, representando que depreciações da taxa de câmbio não se traduzem em ganhos significativos de competitividade, dado que não reduzem expressivamente os preços de exportação.

The study was conducted to evaluate the vermicompost enhances the yield and quality of red amaranth subjected to acidic soil. Five treatments namely, control (T1), cowdung (T2), compost (T3), vermicompost (T4) and lime+100% recommended inorganic fertilizer dose (T5) were considered in acidic soil for the fulfilment of experimental objectives. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications in the southern part of Bangladesh. All the treatments gave significantly higher yield (p<0.05) while it was compared to the control.  Highest yield of red amaranth was observed from the treatment of vermicompost (7.79 tha-1) followed by lime (5.79 tha-1), compost (5.52 tha-1) and cowdung (4.73 tha-1). The result showed that the effects of vermicompost were more efficient in terms of vigorous production, nutrient contents as well as in the maintenance of soil pH for the potential cultivation of red amaranth compared to the other management. Besides these, the nutrients content of red amaranth was also observed and found that the Ca, Mg, K, P, S and Fe were substantially higher in vermicompost except the Zn and B. Mg, K and P content were highly (r2=>0.9) correlated with the yield. Only vermicompost and lime enhanced 7% and 0.3% of pH over the control. Therefore, in acidic soil the vermicompost would be the best alternative for Red amaranth production.

Our work was focused on the intestine of 30 days Cobb’s broilers by both gross morphology and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to determine the length and weight of the small intestine as well as the villi diameters and villus, to describe the main differences at three regions by SEM. The mean length and width of the small intestine were recorded at 127.57cm and 0.75 cm respectively. The weight of the intestine was 36.28.gm. By SEM intestinal villi were appeared as a tongue-like shape at three regions and the shape of the epithelial lining of the villi was a dome with pores at the duodenum, polygonal shape with pores at the jejunum, and appear as stratified bands with obvious pores at the ileum. At our work, the highest value of the intestinal villi height was at the jejunum (664.52 μm) while the lowest value of the intestinal villi height was at the ileum (594.75μm). We concluded that the jejunum was prominent in most measurements which leads to the enhancement of the greater absorption.

Numerous researchers hypothesized that testosterone had a "double-edged sword" effect, encouraging the development of secondary sexual features which are thought to be a healthy signal, while also suppressing immunological function. The relationship between external appearance of birds and its immune performance was little approached. The relationship between sex hormones, immune response and productive performance of males and females broiler were evaluated in this work. One day old chicks were sexed and chicks of each sex were randomly distributed into three experimental treatments, 1. TAM20 treatment chicks were supplied with estrogenic antagonist tamoxifen citrate at a dose of 20mg/kg body weight through oral administration; 2. Androgen treatment chicks were injected intramuscularly with synthetic veterinary androgen (Boldenone Undecylenate 50mg) at a dose of 1cm/ 10kg body weight and 3. The control treatment. Tamoxifen and androgen supplementation had no significant effects on final body weight, weight gain, or feed conversion ratio (at 45 days), although the androgen treatment had the significantly highest feed intake and the TAM20 treatment had the lowest. Moreover, differences between males and females for final body weight, weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio were not significant. Androgen injection increased breast percentage significantly compared to TAM20 treatment and numerically compared to control treatment. Also, Androgen supplementation increased significantly comb percentage; however TAM20 decreased it significantly compared to control. Concerning the effects of both treatments on level of sex hormones, androgen showed favorable effects on both testosterone and estrogen when compared to Tamoxifen 20 treatment. On the other hand, administration of TAM 20 improves phagocytic activity as compared to androgen administration. Phagocytic index, productive performance, and carcass traits did not substantially associated with either testosterone and or estrogen blood levels.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been known to be a major health challenge that have harmful effects on the quality of life globally as a result of its numerous complications. One of the most prevalent secondary complication of the disease is male reproductive system dysfunction. Oral hypoglycaemic drugs are used for managing diabetes but their use has been reported to possess side effects on male reproductive organ leading to significant alteration of spermatogenesis. Lawsonia inermis Linn are used in the treatment of both infectious and non-infectious diseases like poliomyelitis, measles, menorrhagia, vaginal discharge and leucorrhoea.
Lawsonia inermis leaves were sectioned using N-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol. Fractions obtained were assessed for their modulatory effect. Thirteen groups of diabetic rats (n=5) were orally administered 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg of each of the three partitioned fraction, metformin (500 mg/kg), glibenclamide (5 mg/kg), while untreated hyperglycaemic and normoglycaemic rats received distilled water for 28 days.
Sperm parameters showed significant (p<0.05) decreased motility in most treatment group compared to normoglycaemic control but significant improvement was observed in sperm parameters when compared to untreated diabetic control. The sperm volume and live/dead ratio of diabetic treated rats showed little or no significant alteration in all the administered dosage compared to both diabetic and non-diabetic controls. Methanol fraction at 100mg/kg presented non-significant (p>0.05) decreased total abnormal sperm cell compared to normoglycemic control. Diabetic and non-diabetic control had a greater number of spermatozoa with tailless head abnormality compared to Lawsonia inermis treatment groups.
Histopathology result of diabetic untreated testes showed histological abnormality represented by degenerated seminiferous tubules when compared to normoglycemic control cases. Treatment groups with fractions of Lawsonia inermis presents normal histological appearance.
We concluded that this study showed that Lawsonia inermis has significant modulatory or ameliorative effect on various sperm abnormalities and testicular degeneration seen in diabetic ones.
