Published: November 2022

Professor Shchastny Sergei Mikhailovich (1875 - 1943), one of the famous scientists of tsarist Russia and the USSR, devoted his professional activities to solving scientific problems of epidemiology and microbiology of various infectious agents, organizing anti-epidemic measures, and carrying out preventive vaccinations. The talent of the outstanding scientist Shchastny S.M. combined with excellent organizational skills. With his participation and leader- ship, the Odessa bacteriological station was developed, which was known all over the world and under his leadership was reorganized into the Odessa Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology named after I. I.I. Mechnikov (now the II Mechnikov Ukrainian Research Anti-Plague Institute). Professor Shchastny S.M. several departments of microbiol- ogy were created in medical institutes - at the Odessa Medical Institute (now the University) and the Crimean Medical Institute (now the Vernadsky Crimean Federal University). The Department of Microbiology was first created at the institute in 1931, together with 10 other departments of the university. A talented scientist and teacher not only created the department, but also conditions for the training of students. To study the subject, Professor Shchastny S.M. wrote the textbook «Medical Microbiology», one of the first under Soviet rule, which was reprinted several times. Scientific research of Professor S.M. Shchastny reflected about 50 printed scientific works. The life of the scientist was quite dif- ficult. Soon after graduating from the institute he moved to Odessa, where he worked with prominent medical scientists of that period; during the First World War, he served in the army, where he organized anti-epidemic measures; then he returned to Odessa, where he headed the Odessa bacteriological station, which he reorganized into the Odessa Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology. I.I. Mechnikov; then from 1928 he worked in Crimea at the Crimean Insti- tute of Epidemiology and Microbiology (Sevastopol) and the Crimean Medical Institute (Simferopol); in 1938 he was not deservedly convicted, and then sent to Kazakhstan, where he realized his scientific and organizational potential in practical medicine until the last days of his life.

Published: November 2022

. Myocardial contraction is the result of the interaction of myosin, which makes up the thick filament, with actin, which forms the basis of the thin filament, and is regulated by calcium through the regulatory proteins troponin and tropomyosin. Recently, it was found that, in addition to regulatory proteins, cardiac myosin-binding protein-C (cMyBP-C) is involved in the regulation of actin-myosin interaction. cMyBP-C is one of the integral proteins of the cardiomyocyte sarcomere, which has binding sites for the main sarcomere proteins, myosin, actin, and tropomyosin. cMyBP-C controls the number of myosin heads interacting with the thin filament and participates in its activation. In this work, the influence of cMyBP-C on the characteristics of a single actin-myosin interaction, myosin step size and interaction duration, was studied using an optical trap method. Cardiac myosin was extracted from rabbit left ventricular myocardium, actin was isolated from rabbit fast skeletal muscle, and cMyBP-C was obtained from chicken ventricles. cMyBP-C was added to cardiac myosin in a physiological ratio of 1:5. In an in vitro motility assay, the addition of cMyBP-C was found to slow actin sliding velocity over myosin by 30%. It was found that cMyBP-C does not affect step size of myosin but increases the duration of its interaction with the actin filament. The results obtained indicate a direct effect of cMyBP-C on a single actin-myosin interaction.

Published: November 2022

By using of microelectrode techniques, patterns of change in the potential (φm) and resistance (Rm) of the plasma membrane (PM) of Chara fragilis cells under the influence of Dandelion–Hypericum-Calendula (DHC) phytocomposition solutions were studied. The values of φm and Rm are widely scattered: -90 ÷ -300 mV and 1 ÷ 32.6 Ohm·m2, respectively under the standard conditions. The average value of φm was -183 ± 4.9 mV, Rm = 9.2 ± 1.2 Ohm·m2. Using the dependences of φm, Rm on the concentration of K+ in the external environment, the ranges of activation of the K+ - channels to the inward (KCİR) and outward rectification (KCOR) were determined. Under the action of the DHC phytocomposition, while the cell was in the medium with the concentration of the composite 10-1 or 1 mg/ml, we did not detect changes in φm and Rm for 25 min. Stimulation or suppression of transport processes under the influence of composites occurred only with the exclusion of DHC from the composition of the nutrient medium and with a stepwise increase in the concentration of the composition in the medium. The electrophysiological effects of the action of the DHC composition are discussed from the point of view of its action on the lipid phase of the plasma membrane of the experimental cells.

Published: November 2022

Excitation of the C337, highly fluorescent dye in an aqueous solution was studied by the TD-DFT. Through the B3PW91/6-311++G(d, p)/IEFPCM theory level, we obtained the C337 vibronic absorption spectrum which exactly reproduces the experimental maximum. Significant differences are shown between the results of calculating the transition energies using the models of vertical and vibronic transitions. Upon excitation, the main shift of the electron density occurs from C10 to C4 neighboring atom. Thus, large-scale ICT not occur. The effect of excitation on the vibrational spectra of C337 was analyzed. A single C337 molecule and its five different hydration complexes with strongly bound water molecules have been analyzed. Various hydrate complexes of the dye have been studied, and the effect of hydration on its excitation vibrational properties has been elucidated. It was taken into account that a water molecule can attach to the nitrogen atom N1 ("A" type) and the C=O carbonyl ("B" type), and cyano C≡N ("C" type) groups of the dye.

Published: November 2022

Opioid peptides cause pain relief, sedation and sleep, as well as a euphoric state and a number of autonomic reactions. These peptides are of animal and plant origin. A number of exogenous peptides obtained from food have opiate-like properties. This peptides were named exorphins. The discovery of the opioid activity of the peptide components of food has led to the assumption that certain types of food can act on the central nervous system like opiate drugs. A number of milk exorphins have been found that have opioid receptor antagonist properties. These include casoxins A, B, C, human casoxin D, as well as lactoferroxins A, B and C, as well as alpha and beta lactorphins. The possibility of the formation of these peptides during the hydrolysis of the corresponding proteins by peptidases of the gastrointestinal tract has been proven in vitro. Representatives of exorphins are also cytochrophins and hemorphins. It is assumed that these peptides can be formed in vivo during the proteolytic cleavage of cytochrome b and hemoglobin. The beta-lactorphine molecule is a representative of this class. The conformational possibilities of the beta-lactorphine Tyr-Leu-Leu-Phe molecule were studied by the method of theoretical conformational analysis. The potential function of the system is chosen as the sum of non-valence, electrostatic and torsion interactions and the energy of hydrogen bonds. The low-energy conformations of the alpha-lactorphine molecule, the values of the dihedral angles of the main and side chains of the amino acid residues that make up the molecules were found, and the energy of intra- and interresidual interactions was estimated. It has been shown that the spatial structure of the beta-lactorphine molecule can be represented by eight forms of the main chain. The results obtained can be used to elucidate the structural and structural-functional organization of exorphin molecules.

Bir Edebî Fikir Olarak Terslik: Fernando Pessoa’nın Modernizminde Edgar Allan Poe’nun İzleri
Authors: ATAY Hakan , DEMİR ATAY Hivren
Published: November 2022

Portekizli şair ve yazar Fernando Pessoa, farklı isim ve kimliklerle oluşturduğu külliyatıyla yirminci yüzyıl modernist edebiyatının en önemli figürleri arasında yer almıştır. Yaşarken yayımladığı yapıtlarının yanında, ölümünden sonra birkaç sandıktan çıkan ve zaman içerisinde okurla buluşan el yazmaları da Pessoa’nın iyi bir dünya edebiyatı okuru olduğunu açıklıkla gösterir. Çocukluk ve ilk gençlik yıllarını geçirdiği Güney Afrika’da İngilizce öğrenim gördüğü için Anglo-Amerikan edebiyatına özel bir ilgi duyan Pessoa, hayatı boyunca Amerikalı şair ve yazar Edgar Allan Poe’yu okumayı sürdürmüş, Poe’nun kimi yapıtlarını Portekizceye çevirmiş, kimi öykülerini çağrıştıran öyküler kaleme almıştır. Bu yazı, Poe’nun bir kompozisyon felsefesi oluştururken ortaya koyduğu terslik fikriyle Pessoa’nın modernist edebiyat anlayışı arasında önemli geçişler olduğunu öne sürmektedir. Poe’nun “Terslik Şeytanı” ve Pessoa’nın “Şeytanın Saati” öykülerinde terslik fikri şeytan figüründe somutlaşır ve anlatıların dinamiği tersliği edebî yaratıcılıkla ilişkilendirmemizi sağlar. Bu ilişkinin izini sürmek amacıyla söz konusu iki öyküye odaklanan ancak Pessoa’nın Huzursuzluğun Kitabı ve Poe’nun Eureka, “Boşboğaz Yürek”, “Kara Kedi”gibi yapıtlarından da yararlananan yazı, Pessoa’nın modernizminin önemli öğelerinden olan edebî belirsizlikle Poe’nun tek etki kuramını terslik ilkesi çerçevesinde tartışmaktadır.
Sema Kaygusuz’un Öykülerinde Kadın Karakterler
Authors: ERSOY Bahar , KARADENİZ Mustafa
Published: November 2022

Yazın hayatına 1990’lı yıllarda öykü türüyle başlayan Sema Kaygusuz, eserlerinin gerek biçim ve içerik özellikleriyle gerekse aldığı ödüllerle Türk edebiyatının dikkat çeken genç yazarları arasında değerlendirilmektedir. Kelime dağarı ve şiirsel diliyle özgün bir dil ve anlatım tutumunu işaret eden Kaygusuz’un öyküleri, genel olarak sıradan insanları ve hayatları odağa alır. Bu hayatların psikolojik yansımalarını, toplum-birey-doğa ekseninde sorunsallaştırır. Bu tematik odak, öykü kitapları arasında içerik ve yapı bakımından bir paralellik ve sürekliliğe kapı aralar. Yazarın etrafında döndüğü temel kavram ve sorunsalları işaret eder. İnsanların yanı sıra öykülerine dâhil ettiği hayvanlar, ağaç ve bitkiler ise Kaygusuz’un doğa karşısındaki duyarlılığını yansıtır. Bu çalışma, Sema Kaygusuz’un Ortadan Yarısından, Sandık Lekesi, Doyma noktası ve Esir Sözler Kuyusu adlı öykü kitaplarındaki kadın karakterleri Gennadiy N. Pospelov’un “heyecansal bağlanım” tasnifini odağa alarak incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Kaygusuz’un öykülerinde genellikle, cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin kadın karakterler üzerinde yarattığı duygusal ve ruhsal baskı ve tahribata yer verilir. Öykülere yakından bakınca, geleneksel yaşamdaki kadınların toplumsal/geleneksel normlar tarafından baskılandığı; modern yaşamdaki kadınların ise yaşadıkları içsel çatışmalarla ön plana çıktıkları görülür. Modern ve geleneksel toplumsal yapılar içinde yaşama tutunmaya çalışan kadın karakterlerin yaşadıkları sorun ve çatışmalar Kaygusuz’un öykülerinin başat temalarından birini oluşturur. Neredeyse her öyküde doğa ile kadını ortak bir paydada buluşturma çabası ise Kaygusuz’un bilinçli bir şekilde doğa ve kadın özdeşliğini kurmaya çalıştığını düşündürür.
Tooth Wear Age Estimation of Ruminants from Archaeological Sites
Authors: Kohut Grace
Published: November 2022

The teeth of ruminants (cud-chewing herbivores) can be used to estimate age. Tooth wear age estimation is an especially valuable method in archaeological research because it is non-destructive, efficient, and is adaptable to multiple species, which provides effective results. The objective of this paper is to review tooth wear age estimation approaches taken with a focus on cervid (deer) and caprine (sheep and goat) mandibles. I discuss the process of dental attrition involving ruminant chewing, digestion, and feeding behaviour, as well as factors that affect the rate of wear including individual and population variance. The approaches to tooth wear age estimation have been divided into three overarching categories: the Crown Height Method, the Visual Wear Pattern Method, and the Wear Trait Scoring Method. These approaches are all non-destructive and require similar assumptions about the regularities of tooth wear. Each involves different levels of accuracy, ease of use, efficiency, and applicability to archaeological mandibles. This paper highlights the strengths and weaknesses for these approaches and explains that these various methods reviewed are each better suited to different research situations. Taken together, tooth wear age estimation is a valuable tool that zooarchaeologists employ to reconstruct age-based demographic profiles of animal remains recovered from archaeological sites, illustrating how people interacted with and used them.

Latar Belakang: Malaria merupakan mosquito borne-disease yang masih menjadi permasalahan global. Banyak penelitian yang mendukung anak sekolah sebagai agen perubahan karena memiliki potensi untuk menyebarkan pesan kesehatan kepada anak yang lain, anggota keluarga, dan masyarakat. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian lanjutan setelah sebelumnya telah dilakukan penelitian serupa di daerah endemis malaria di Lombok Timur. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat pengetahuan terkait malaria, sumber informasi tentang malaria serta perilaku dan penggunaan anti-nyamuk terkait penularan malaria pada siswa sekolah dasar di Mataram. Metode: Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif observational dengan desain cross sectional. Populasi penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas 5 dan 6 di 4 Sekolah Dasar (SD) di Kota Mataram.

 Hasil: Tedapat 128 siswa yang terlibat dalam penelitian ini. Sebesar 92% siswa pernah mendengar istilah malaria dan sumber informasi utama mengenai sakit malaria adalah dari orang tua (46%). Didapat hanya 21,1% siswa yang mempunyai tingkat pengetahuan baik terhadap malaria. Aspek pengetahuan mengenai malaria yang perlu ditingkatkan adalah 1) pendapat mengenai sakit malaria; 2) gejala sakit malaria; 3) penyebab sakit malaria; 4) waktu nyamuk menggigit dan 5) cara pencegahan sakit malaria untuk diri sendiri. Ibu adalah anggota keluarga yang bertanggungjawab menyediakan metode pencegahan gigitan nyamuk di rumah. Sebagian besar rumah tangga menggunakan semprotan pembasmi nyamuk untuk menghindari gigitan nyamuk. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, perlu dilakukan upaya intervensi berbasis sekolah untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan anak SD mengenai malaria.

Kesimpulan: Pengetahuan anak SD di Kota Mataram tentang malaria sebagian besar tergolong sedang dan baik. Pencegahan malaria terutama dilakukan oleh ibu dengan menggunakan obat nyamuk semprot.

Latar Belakang: Tingkat pemberian ASI eksklusif di indonesia masih sangat rendah. Data dari Dinas Kesehatan Provinsi NTB mengenai cakupan pemberian ASI eksklusif belum memuaskan. Rendahnya pemberian ASI merupakan ancaman bagi tumbuh kembang anak yang akan berpengaruh pada pertumbuhan dan pengembangan kualitas SDM. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi keberhasilan pemberian ASI eksklusif di Kota Mataram.

Metode: Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah desktiptif analitik dengan desain potong lintang menggunakan kuisioner selama bulan Agustus hingga September 2014 pada ibu dengan bayi berumur 6-12 bulan yang tidak memiliki kelainan kongenital atau penyakit kronis.

Hasil: Sebanyak 301 responden diwawancarai, sebanyak 198 orang (65,8%) memberikan ASI eksklusif. Faktor sosiodemografi yang memiliki hubungan bermakna dengan keberhasilan pemberian ASI eksklusif adalah pekerjaan ibu dengan tingkat korelasi sangat lemah (r=0,156,p=0,007). Faktor pra dan pasca natal yang memiliki hubungan bermakna dengan korelasi sangat kuat adalah pemberian MPASI (r=-0,844,p=0,000). Faktor psikososial yang memiliki hubungan bermakna dengan tingkat korelasi lebih tinggi dibanding faktor lainnya adalah keyakinan ibu untuk dapat menyusui (r=0,527,p=0,000) dan persepsi ibu terhadap kepuasan bayi saat menyusui (r=0,468,p=0,000).

Kesimpulan: Sebanyak 65,8% ibu di Kota Mataram berhasil memberikan ASI eksklusif. Faktor sosiodemografi, faktor psikososial, faktor pra dan pasca natal memiliki hubungan bermakna dengan keberhasilan pemberian ASI eksklusif.
Interface of polymers grafted on silica: Organization of the interfacial layer in presence and absence of solvent
Authors: Tajouri T
Published: November 2022

The 1H NMR technique is used to study the behaviour of the poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) chains grafted chemically on silica in the presence or not of solvent. A noticeable influence of the different physicochemical parameters on the conformation of the grafted macromolecules is evinced. Different models are proposed for different lengths of grafted polymer chains on the surface in the absence and presence of a solvent. Without solvent, the macromolecules lie very flat and the layer is more organized. In the presence of a solvent, the chains spread out and adopt a more extended conformation and the local concentration of monomers decreases.
Alcohol drinking and driving habit particularly in Nigeria and the role forensic science could play
Authors: Maurice E Nwakobi
Published: November 2022

Alcohol drinking habit is a serious epidemic that afflicts people worldwide regardless of socioeconomic class and the country’s development or civilization. The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize research findings on drinking and driving, its implications for Nigerian society, and the role forensic science can play in drunk driving. Nigeria, in particular has seen a lot of fatal accidents attributed to alcohol but due to a lack of forensic sobriety and toxicology drug tests at the crash scene that is not yet in place in the country, the offenders are not punished for this crime. The only two African countries that have legislation on Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) are South Africa and Zimbabwe. Nigeria has no such legislation and does not conduct such tests in injury and fatal accident cases. The prevalence of drinking habits among Nigerians and in particular the drivers cannot be ignored. This study examined global drinking habits including its prevalence in Nigeria and more importantly understudied the need for forensic science interplay in a criminal investigation against drunk driving in the country. Drunk driving in Nigeria is a serious problem. Establishing and enforcing drunken driving laws as a criminal offense would assist the country in the reduction of road accidents, injuries, and fatalities relating to road accidents. Forensic science is a unique field that is equipped with skills and knowledge that could be useful for criminal investigation in the country including accident cases. Forensic scientists have outstanding technical skills to identify, detect, and even assist the country’s prosecutors in the administration of justice in crime investigations. Nigeria as a country will be well served if forensic scientists work in partnership with the government. Drinking and driving in addition to other crimes has become a matter of concern. The country’s police force and courts still rely mostly on eyewitness circumstantial evidence, testimonies, and suspects’ confessions. Based on this, I personally believe that the advent of Forensic science in the country’s system will assist a great deal in solving crimes and reducing fatal accidents due to drunk driving.
Nutritional interventions for the prevention and treatment of neurological disorders such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and schizophrenia

Neurological disorders are a significant cause of mortality and disability across the world. The current aging population and population expansion have seen an increase in the prevalence of neurological and psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia. These pose a significant societal burden, especially in low - and middle-income countries. Many neurological disorders have complex mechanisms and lack definitive cures; thus, improving our understanding of them is essential. The pathophysiology of neurological disorders often includes inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Oxidative stress processes, especially the generation of reactive oxygen species, are key mechanisms in the development of neurological disorders. Oxidative stress refers to an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species and antioxidants that can counteract them. Through their impacts on the pathophysiology of neurological disorders, nutrients with anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and antioxidative properties have been suggested to prevent or mitigate these disorders. Certain vitamins, minerals, polyphenols and flavonoids may have therapeutic effects as adjuvant treatments for neurological disorders. Diet quality is also a risk factor for some neurological and psychiatric disorders and addressing nutritional deficiencies may alleviate symptoms. Therefore, optimizing nutritional intake may represent a potential treatment or prevention strategy. This review summarizes a selection of promising nutrients for the prevention and amelioration of neurological disorders to provide a summary for scientists, clinicians and patients, which may improve understanding of the potential benefits of nutrients in the treatment of neurological disorders.

Uma Igreja centrada em Cristo, toma consciência do mistério que a fundamenta, colocando-se diante da sociedade como servidora da vida através da prática do cuidado pastoral. O mundo atual, com seus desafios, requer da Igreja uma postura de abertura e atualização constante para que ela possa corresponder aos anseios e às necessidades do ser humano em crise. A Igreja só será um sinal de esperança na medida em que buscar resplandecer a luz de Cristo. O presente artigo trabalha o tema do cuidado pastoral da Igreja como expressão do próprio cuidado de Deus pela humanidade, expresso na economia da salvação, que ganha, na Igreja, um instrumento eficaz, capaz de ser sinal de esperança para a humanidade, especialmente, em tempos de crise.

Palavras-chave: Cuidado Pastoral; Igreja; Esperança; Crise.

Abstract: A Church centered on Christ, aware of the mystery that is fundamental, placing itself before society as a servant of life through the practice of pastoral care. The current world, with its challenges, requires an attitude of openness and constant updating from the Church so that it can respond to the desires and needs of the human being in crisis. The Church will only be a sign of hope as it seeks to shine in the light of Christ. This article deals with the theme of the pastoral care of the Church as an expression of God’s own care for humanity expressed in the economy of salvation, which gains in the Church an effective instrument, capable of being a sign of hope for humanity, especially in times of crisis.

pandemia e o clericalismo
Authors: Marques Luís Felipe Carneiro
Published: November 2022

Este artigo parte de uma série de manifestações eclesiais, litúrgicas principalmente, no decorrer da pandemia da Covid-19, para denunciar a reemergência do clericalismo e repropor uma ampla conversão

paradigmática e estruturante na Igreja. Esta proposta decorre de análise hermenêutica de iniciativas litúrgicas tomadas durante o tempo pandêmico, da referência à eclesiologia e à reforma litúrgica emanadas pelo Concílio Vaticano II, bem como da constatação da reafirmação de características do clericalismo. A “ritualização tecnológica” revelou um conteúdo teológico equivocado e doentio. As situações novas e contingentes encontraram uma Igreja despreparada e preocupada com tantas coisas desnecessárias. O recurso à virtualização dos ritos, sem ponderação, intensificou tendências subjetivistas e espiritualistas.

Palavras-chave: Pandemia; Clericalismo; Crise e sacramentalidade.

Abstract: This article is part of a series of ecclesiastical manifestations, mainly liturgical, not due to the Covid-19 pandemic, to denounce the reemergence of clericalism and reproach for a broad paradigmatic and structuring conversation in the Church. This proposal is based on a hermeneutic analysis of liturgical initiatives taken during the pandemic, giving reference to ecclesiology and liturgical reform emanated by the Second Vatican Council, as well as confirming the reaffirmation of the characteristics of clericalism. The “technological ritual” revealed a mistaken and wrong theological content. As new and contingent situations will find a Church unprepared and preoccupied with so many unnecessary things. The resource to virtualization of two rites, without weighting, intensified subjectivist and spiritualist tendencies.

Keywords: Pandemic; Clericalism; Crisis and sacramentality.
Anamnesis of a patient to evaluate the risk of disease due to environmental alteration
Authors: Vittorio INGEGNOLI
Published: November 2022

Medical Doctors must repair the damages against human health but, being most of these damages due to environmental alterations going beyond pollution and being the physiology of an organism linked with internal and external/environmental life systems, they must collaborate with internal and external/environmental specialists (i.e., Ecojatra), arriving to an integrated therapy. But, to become an ecojatra, it is necessary to embody the systemic turn due to the scientific Paradigm shift, which can upgrade the impasse due to reductionism, as done by new upgrading disciplines, like Landscape Bionomics. So, it is possible to propose a first suggestion for widening patient’s environmental anamnesis, presenting opportune questions and evaluation methods, derived from the main set of landscape syndromes. We need to measure the Risk of Disease % due to Environmental Stress produced by ethological alarm from environmental and behavioral alterations. This measure needs two or three steps: · A preliminary value of Risk of Disease (%) given by the answers to 30 questions · The estimation of the behavioral stress level (%), articulated in three set (family, work, social) · The increase of Risk of Disease (x 1.5) when the behavioral stress level is more than 35% (cumulative impact): if this increased Risk of Disease goes beyond 60 %, the addition of the Premature Mortality Risk become necessary. The contribution of Landscape Bionomics to a more systemic medicine emerges, also widening the education on public health and bioethics.

Due to the dependence on petroleum to supply energy and chemical needs many countries have experienced problems because of declining reserves, increased demands, and political problems in oil exporting nations, which have also created problems for oil-importing countries. Demand on renewable resources to meets the needs for energy and carbon based chemicals in the wake of eventual depletion of fossil oil and natural gas reserves. Furfural, lignin, vanillin can be synthesized by extraction process from which vanillin and furfural are costlier products, which makes the process economically viable. Material balance was done to understand the material composition of wood. Comparison and costing of various process of are also evaluated which resulting into inexpensive than petroleum. A long-term solution would be to use renewable resources to produce many of the hydrocarbons. So, this work aims at finding feasible ways extracting the valuable chemicals such as furfural, lignin, vanillin, etc. from wood.
