Holistic care management for diabetes mellitus: A futuristic approach
Authors: Bora Kundan Singh
Published: March 2023

The public health concern is very important for the growing burden of chronic metabolic disease like Diabetes mellitus. It is foreseeable that by 2045 India would reach rank first in Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus which contributes to 90% of diabetes. Therefore, more care or attention should be given to this disease. There are so many medications available in the market including herbal drugs. But due to more side effects of oral hypoglycemic agents, attention grabs more towards the alternative of synthetic drugs or using Nano-carriers to avoid side effects. Presently, many novel drug delivery systems for oral hypoglycemic agents are available in the market. But herbal drugs grab more attention due to lesser side effects, efficacy and cost-effective. However, there is very less work is reported on nanotechnology like liposomes, nanoparticles/microparticles, gold nanoparticles, noisome, and nano-capsules/microcapsules of herbal drugs, which is currently emerging therapy for diabetes. Nanotechnology or a novel drug delivery system for herbal medicine can be used to overcome the challenges like poor bioavailability, efficacy and stability problems. The current review emphasizes current epidemiology, its types, complications and management of different treatment strategies for diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, the problems related to herbal medicine with immense hope for herbal medicine using nanotechnology are discussed.

Célkitűzés: Tanulmányunk célja a Covid-19-járvány során a Nemzeti Népegészségügyi Központ mobil mintavételezésének, a „Helybe visszük a szűrővizsgálatokat” program szűrőbuszainak statikus pontként történő megvalósítási folyamatának, illetve területi és időbeni igénybevételi gyakoriságának, eredményeinek bemutatása. Vizsgálat módszere: Retrospektív elemzésünk Budapesten és Pest megyében 2020. november 12. és 2022. április 18. között a szűrőbuszokon végzett Covid-19-mintavételi leleteinek értékelésével valósult meg (N=164 576). A kapott adatok feldolgozásához leíró statisztikai módszereket alkalmaztunk. Eredmények: A teszteléseket legtöbb esetben a páciens személygépjárműjében végeztük el, ami csökkentette az infektálódás kockázatát, illetve a szűrőponton való gyors áthaladás szavatolta a munka biztonságát és gördülékenységét is. A mintavételezések során az AbottTM, a Clintest®, valamint a VivaDiagTM rapid tesztjeit használtuk, negatív eredmény esetén újabb nasopharingealis mintavétel történt RT-PCR elvégzése céljából. Naponta átlagosan 504 mintavétel valósult meg, amelynek átlagosan közel egyharmada (31,41%) mutatott pozitivitást. Következtetések: A szűrőbuszok előnye a nagyszámú tesztek elvégzésének lehetőségében, a mozgathatóságban, a mindenki számára könnyen megközelíthető pontokra való kihelyezésben, valamint a fertőződés kockázatának csökkentésében mutatkozott meg. A tömeges tesztelések statikus pontokon való lebonyolítása hatékonynak bizonyult, amely folyamatot a jövőben is alkalmazhatunk, ha arra szükség lesz.
Gyermekkorban jelentkező mellkasi fájdalom vizsgálata a sürgősségi triázsban
Authors: Fazekas Péter
Published: March 2023

Célkitűzés: Cél a triázsvizsgálat szabályainak finomítása, követésének segítése gyermekkori mellkasi fájdalom esetén, a témában kevésbé gyakorlott triázsápolók számára. A vizsgálat módszere: A statisztikai vizsgálat egy két évet lefedő időszakban érkező betegek dokumentációja alapján készült. A kiértékelés alapvető statisztikai paraméterek vizsgálatával, illetve nemparametrikus Mann–Whitney- és Kruskal–Wallis-próbákkal történt. Eredmények: Iskolaszünetben jelentkező mellkasi fájdalom hátterében a legritkább a pszichés tényező (14,5%), az év többi részében közel kétszer gyakoribb (28,7%). A pulzusszám eltérése nem függött az állapot súlyosságától. MSTR-ajánlás alapján T1 kategóriába sorolandó gyermekek közül 25 esetből 2 esetében volt súlyos a beteg állapota. A jó állapotú gyermekek 30%-ánál enyhén, 10%- ánál súlyosan/kritikusan eltért a szívfrekvencia. A vérnyomáseltérés szignifikánsan nem függött össze semmilyen mért paraméterrel. Következtetések: Már a triázs során javaslok figyelmet fordítani a kórházi megjelenés idejére, fontos a pulzuseltérés, de az MSTR-ajánlás pontos követése fennakadásokat okozhat a rendszerben. A vérnyomásmérés hasznos, amennyiben a megfelelő méretű eszköz rendelkezésre áll, és az ellátást nem hátráltatja.

Published: March 2023

The present study was carried out to perceive the effects of dietary supplementation of nano-chromium on nutrient utilization and carcass traits in broiler chickens. For this, 120 unsexed day-old broiler chickens were procured and randomly allocated into four different treatment groups with three replicates in each. The control group (T0) was fed with a standard basal diet as per BIS (2007). Treatment groups T1, T2, and T3 were fed the basal diet with 400, 800, and 1600 ppb levels of nano-chromium, respectively for six weeks. Dry matter, crude protein, and total carbohydrate metabolizability were significantly improved in treatment groups T2 and T3; while organic matter and ether extract retention were found significantly higher in treatment groups T1, T2, and T3 when compared with a control group. There was no significant difference in the yield of cut-up parts (% live body weight). The supplementation of nano-chromium did not bring any significant changes in processing loss i.e. blood, feather, head, and shank, but abdominal fat was significantly reduced with increasing levels of nano-chromium. Hence, it can be concluded that dietary supplementation of 1600 ppb nano-chromium in the diet of broiler chicken improved nutrient utilization and lowered abdominal fat in broiler chicken.

Pangasianodon hypophthalmus is an economically important catfish species cultured in India. In the present study, a continuous cell line from the thymus of P. hypophthalmus (PHT) was established using the explant method and subcultured 52 times since development. PHT cells showed optimal growth in L-15 medium containing 20% fetal bovine serum at 28°C. The species of the cell line from striped catfish was confirmed through PCR amplification and sequencing of 16S, and COI genes. The cell line was found to be Mycoplasma free. The modal chromosome number of PHT cells was 60 (2n). Immunophenotyping using different antibodies showed the epithelial nature of the cells. Cytotoxicity of arsenic and mercury was assessed using Neutral red and MTT assay, which revealed reduced cell survival with an increase in toxicant concentration. Cells transfected successfully with the GFP reporter gene using lipofectamine reagent indicated the suitability of the cell line for expression studies. The cell line has been submitted to NRFC, Lucknow with accession no. NRFC-078 at ICAR-NBFGR, Lucknow. The developed cell line will have applications in suspected viral disease investigation, transgenic, and immunological studies.

The small and marginal farmers in India are 83% with land holding of 46.1% and contribution of 51.2% in the production. On Indian farms, knapsack sprayers are very commonly used by small and marginal farmers for pest control because of affordability and ease of operation but with lower outputs. An attempt was made to develop a solar powered sprayer which had higher output (0.3 ha/hr) with lower physiological energy consumption and discomfort. An electronic control had been embedded for protection against deep discharge and over charging of battery for longer operational life. The system could be fully charged by solar energy within two hours of irradiation and can be operated continuously for six hours.This ensures quality spray with uniform droplet size in the swath. Anti-clogging filter had also been installed before the nozzle in nozzle head for trouble free operation as well as longer service life of nozzle.

Tratamiento de agua residual de beneficio de café mediante un reactor de lecho empacado
Authors: García Valencia Jesús Emmanuel
Published: March 2023

El café es considerado como una de las principales materias primas de mayor seguimiento económico a nivel mundial, en México representa uno de los principales cultivos industriales, especialmente en los estados de Oaxaca, Chiapas y Veracruz. En el proceso de beneficio húmedo del café de una empresa ubicada en Huatusco, Veracruz, el agua se utiliza como servicio para el proceso de lavado cuyo objetivo es retirar la materia orgánica del fruto para obtener la semilla de café con lo que se genera un agua residual denominada aguamiel. De acuerdo con Limón et al., (2021) el agua residual tiene un índice alto de biodegradabilidad por lo que el uso de un tratamiento biológico puede ser viable para el tratamiento del agua residual tal y como se ha demostrado por Hernández et al., (2021) quien aplicó un biofiltro para la depuración. Por tal motivo, el presente proyecto tuvo la finalidad de evaluar la depuración de agua residual de beneficio de café mediante el uso de un reactor de lecho empacado. Se realizó un diseño experimental 22 con dos variables y dos niveles: tiempo de maduración de la biopelícula (24 h y 48 h) y aireación (presencia o ausencia). La metodología desarrollada constó de 5 pasos que son: el diseño experimental, la activación y adaptación de la cepa, formación de la biopelícula, construcción del reactor de lecho empacado, caracterización del agua residual y análisis estadístico de resultados. Se encontró que el tratamiento a 24 horas con aireación y el de 48 horas sin aireación arrojan remociones mayores al 95 %, lo cual indica que se tienen dos alternativas para el tratamiento del agua, sin embargo, debido a los gastos energéticos generados en el proceso de aireación se puede considerar más viable el segundo tratamiento.

Isotonic drinks are the type of sports drink with a similar number of osmotically active particles as present in the body plasma (i.e. osmolality; 275-295 mOsmole/kg) and help for replenishing the loss of electrolytes and sugar after physical workout. The present study describes the potential of utilization of Nas Narang (Citrus madurensis) fruit juice in the development of Isotonic Nas Narang Sports Drink (INNSD) and investigation of the physico-chemical parameters.  INNSD was developed using varying content of fresh juice of Nas Narang 5%, 6.5%, and 7.5% v/v with other recommended food grade ingredients. The 7.5% of fresh Nas Narang juice was selected as the best fruit content based on the highest overall acceptability in sensorial evaluation using a trained sensory panel. The total osmolality of developed isotonic Nas Narang sports drink was 282.95 mOsmol/l. The physical properties of Total Soluble Solids content (TSS), Titratable Acidity (TA), and pH of the INNSD were 9.00±0.00%, 0.53±0.01%, and 2.45±0.01 respectively. The proximate composition of Nas Narang fruit juice and developed sports drink were total ash (0.47±0.11%; 0.42±0.17%), protein (0.47±0.01%; 0.05±0.00%), crude fibre (0.53±0.01%; 0.09±0.01%), total carbohydrate content (6.97±0.27%; 7.31±0.31%) and caloric value (29.44 Kcal /per 100 ml of sports drink) respectively. The vitamin contents of INNSD were ascorbic acid (0.3 mg/100 ml), vitamin B2 (0.135 mg/100 ml), vitamin B5 (0.15mg/100ml) and vitamin B6 (0.145 mg/100 ml). Further, anti-oxidant potential of Total Polyphenolic Content (TPC) and Total Flavonoids Content (TFC) of fresh Nas Narang fruit juice and developed INNSD were (0.224±0.02 mg GAE/ml; 0.029±0.00 mg GAE/ml) and (0.139±0.01 mg QE/ml; 0.011±0.00 mg QE/ml) respectively.

Nas narang fruit is available throughout the year as an adequate source of raw material for industry. It provides natural citrus flavor, attractive yellow colour, appealing taste, minerals and antioxidants to the product and further act as a natural preservative. Present study showed incorporation of Nas Narang juice in formulation of sport drink is technically sound and acceptable.

Predatory journals or periodicals that falsely represent their publishing works while presenting themselves as legitimate scholarly journals. They are referred to as fake, dishonest or bogus journals. Many copyright or publication ethics violations, such like making false claims that review process is given, keeping secrets about article processing charges (APC's), misrepresenting editorial board members and others, all examples of parasitic techniques. Since they are growing more widespread around the world, predatory journals are examined in this review to help authors identify and steer well clear of them.
LA EMPATÍA EN LOS PSICÓPATAS
Authors: Díaz Galván Karla Ximena , Lozano Gutiérrez Azucena , González González José De Jesús , Ostrosky Shejet Feggy
Published: March 2023

La empatía es una capacidad humana que nos ha permitido adaptarnos a vivir en grupos en tanto que permite que los individuos presenten conductas pro-sociales, facilitando así la interacción entre ellos. Aunque su definición es compleja, se reconoce que no es un constructo unitario: comprende dos componentes principales, la empatía afectiva y la cognitiva, las cuales se han asociado a diferentes estructuras cerebrales tanto corticales como subcorticales. La psicopatía es un trastorno de la personalidad en la cual se ha identificado una alteración importante en la empatía. En este sentido los datos de diversas investigaciones han mostrado que en esta condición patológica existen diferencias en estructuras cerebrales que subyacen tanto al procesamiento de información cognitiva y emocional, como a la empatía y se señala que el componente afectivo es el que se encuentra estrechamente relacionado con la manifestación clínica de la psicopatía. Actualmente se sigue analizando la relación de la empatía y la psicopatía en el marco de nuevas formas de conceptualizar a esta condición.

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi maraknya bullying yang terjadi dikalangan siswa sekolah dasar merupakan suatu permasalahan yang serius dan perlu adanya tindak lanjut. Dalam hal ini tidak hanya sekolah saja, namun peran orang tua sangat diperlukan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui peran orang tua dalam pembentukan karakter anak dalam menyikapi bullying. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif- kualitatif. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa orang tua memiliki peran yang sangat penting dalam pembentukan karakter anak. Karena orang tua adalah sosok pertama yang anak contoh setiap perilakunya. Orang tua dapat menanamkan karakter anak dengan memberi contoh, membiasakan hal-hal baik, berkomunikasi, serta melibatkan anak dalam kegiatan rumah. Sehingga karakter yang ditanamkan orang tua pada anak sejak dini akan membentuk anak lebih percaya diri, lebih kuat dan dapat membawa diri dalam lingkungannya. Dalam menyikapi bullying, orang tua hendaknya menanamkan dan menguatkan anak untuk tidak takut dan harus memiliki rasa percaya diri, memilah-milih teman dalam bergaul, bahkan memberikan kewenangan untuk membela diri atau bahkin membalas.

Tiere – Würdeträger ohne ein Recht auf Rechte?
Authors: Bilgen Isa
Published: March 2023

The main reason for human dignity is our capacity for autonomy. By virtue of our gift of reason we can relativize our purposes in the interests of others and set limits for ourselves. This also gives rise to our duty to recognize and respect animals. From the recognition of every living being as an end in itself follows the duty to respect its intrinsic value. But since animals are not recognized de lege lata as legal subjects with their own rights and cannot adequately assert their interests, the right to rights based on their dignity remains only a moral one. Law that does not posit this right is immoral and therefore unjust.
Zurechnung und Gesetzesanwendung in der Naturrechtslehre Achenwalls. Zu einer begrifflichen Revision zwischen 1750 und 1755 in ihrem begriffsgeschichtlichen Kontext
Authors: Heuser Martin
Published: March 2023

This article serves as an overview on Gottfried Achenwall’s principles of moral imputation specifically in their early development. In contrast to Joachim Georg Darjes, he claims that moral imputation consists in an application of the law. That is both the reason why Achenwall initially introduced the distinction of imputatio facti et legis to his doctrine on natural law in year 1750, and at the same time why Achenwall had to give up this classification a few years later in year 1754.
A Cognitive Digital-Optical Architecture for Object Recognition Applications in Remote Sensing
Authors: Kypraios Ioannis
Published: March 2023

From coastal landscapes to biodiversity remote sensing can on the one hand capture all the natural heritage elements and on the other hand can help in maintaining protected species. In a typical remote sensing application, a few thousands of super high-resolution images are captured and need to be processed. The next step of the processing involves converting those images to an appropriate format for visual display of the data. Then, the image analyst needs to define the regions of interests (ROIs) in each captured image. Next, ROIs need to be defined for identifying specific objects or extracting the required information. First drawback of this processing cycle is the use of image analysis tools which provide them only with scaling or zooming features. Second, there is no conceptual connection between the image analysis tools and the actual processing cycle. Third, such existing tools do not usually automate any steps in the processing cycle. We combine an optical correlator with a supervised or an unsupervised classifier learning algorithm and show how our proposed novel cognitive architecture is conceptually connected with the image analysis processing cycle. We test the architecture with captured images and describe how it can automate the processing cycle.
The Relationship of Sperm Motility Pattern and Its Ability to Agglutinate with Vaginal Sperm Selection, Uptake in Sperm Storage Tubules and Competitiveness

To ensure survival, some unique features can be distinguished in birds that help them maintain reproduction. These features include the ability to store sperm for long periods within the utero-vaginal junction, a high sperm concentration per ejaculate, and polyspermy fertilization. Sperm face many challenges prior to fertilization. After copulation, most ejaculated sperm exit the female reproductive tract, and less than 1% continue in an attempt to achieve fertilization. In addition, egg size is substantially larger than sperm size because of the presence of the egg yolk. This results in a large number of sperm penetrating the egg away from the oocyte. These challenges have triggered evolutionary changes to maintain the existence of many species, such as the enormous relative size of the testis, which produces billions of sperm each day, and the ability to store viable sperm for long periods in the oviduct to ensure asynchronous fertilization. This chapter discusses several contemporary and sometimes controversial points regarding sperm behavior and their storage in the oviduct.
Influence of Organic Matter on the Transport of Mineral Colloids in the River-Sea Transition Zone
Authors: V. Lasareva Elena , M. Parfenova Aksana
Published: March 2023

The River-Sea Transition Zone has a significant impact on marine ecosystems, especially at present, due to increased anthropogenic pressure on rivers. The colloidal form of river runoff has not been practically studied, unlike the dissolved and suspended one, but this form is particularly important for the transport of river substances. The mechanisms of substance transfer were studied using model systems (colloidal clay, Fe(OH)3 sol), particle aggregation was estimated by changes in optical density, turbidity and particle size. The influence of the nature of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and salinity on colloid transport was studied. It was found that humic substances (HS) (recalcitrant DOM) stabilize mineral colloids with increasing salinity, while their interaction with chitosan (labile DOM) promotes flocculation and further precipitation in the mixing zone. In natural conditions, labile DOM can be released during viral lysis of bacteria or salt stress of biota. It was shown that clay particles modified with HS are flocculated more effectively than pure clays. HS can facilitate the transport of Fe(OH)3 into the outer part of the mixing zone even in the presence of flocculants. The flocculation mechanism and modern views on this process are considered.
Effects of Behavioral Skills Training on Teachers’ Implementation of Power Card Strategy
Authors: Aslan Yeşim Güleç
Published: March 2023

Behavioral Skills Training (BST) is an effective, well-designed package to train educators of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this study, BST was used to train three teachers on how to accurately implement the Power Card Strategy (PCS). Multiple probe design with probe conditions across participants was used for assessing effects of using BST to train teachers on PCS. Data indicated that all three teachers showed significant improvement in PCS practice. The mean score was 14% for all three teachers during the baseline session. After training, they achieved 100% accuracy in three consecutive sessions. Those results were maintained three weeks later. Social validity data also showed that BST was effective and acceptable.
Developing teamwork skills beyond cross-cultural barriers: a case study for engineering students in higher education
Authors: Krab-Hüsken Leonie , Pei Linlin , Benes Nieck
Published: March 2023

In 2013, our university has implemented a new educational model that puts team projects at the core of all BSc programmes, requiring that students develop teamwork skills. On top of this, in 2018, our Chemical Science & Engineering BSc has become an English-taught, international programme. In consideration of this challenging transition, we have developed additional training to facilitate students' acquisition of knowledge, skills, tools, and attitudes to aid conscientious intercultural teamwork. For this, it is paramount that students become aware of, and learn to appreciate, differences in the educational and cultural backgrounds of themselves and their peers. Concurrently, students should practice what they have learned and adjust their behaviour when appropriate. In this paper, we share our experiences, best practices, and lessons learned. More specifically, our study: i) explores which factors are key to a successful intercultural team, ii) investigates how diversity in teams can be cherished and used for the benefit of the team, its members, and its goals, and iii) how these teamwork skills can effectively be taught in engineering programmes. Building on this, the paper describes how the new curricular education has been designed, what is taught, and how an inclusive, regardful, and pleasant atmosphere has been created for the intercultural project teams.

Arkeologen möter bävern
Authors: Hjørungdal Tove
Published: March 2023

A few examples of archaeological approaches to the beaver (Castor fiber L.) are given. A main source of inspiration is The Coles’ extensive archaeological record material and research on the beaver in Britain’s past, on which they established the beaver as a significant agent in prehistory. A small number of various south Scandinavian Mesolithic locales are focused. For comparison and contrast, records and interpretations from other disciplines are included. The bottom line of the paper is that Scandinavian archaeology has an unexplored potential in studies of beaver materialities. This concerns approaches to beavers’ connections with humans in social formations. It also concerns inclusion of the beaver and its materialities in landscape and environmental archaeology, as well as in cultural heritage and in historical and contemporary archaeology.
