Ameliorative Potential of Natural Antioxidants Against Paraquat-Induced Oxidative Stress and Locomotor Impairment in Drosophila melanogaster: A Comparative Study
Authors: Niveditha S. , Shivanandappa T. , Ramesh S.R 
Published: November 2017

Background:Natural antioxidants show neuroprotective potential to protect against neurodegenerative disorders in experimental animals. There is a need to characterize newer promising neuroprotective natural molecules.Objective:In the present study, we have compared the neuroprotective activity of 4hydroxyisophthalic acid (DHA-I), a novel natural antioxidant from the roots ofDecalepis hamiltonii,with the other natural neuroprotective antioxidants, ellagic acid, quercetin and nicotinamide, against paraquat (PQ) neurotoxicity inD. melanogaster.Results:Flies exposed to multiple (sub-lethal) dose of PQ showed movement disorder characteristic of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The four natural antioxidants showed ameliorative effects against PQ neurotoxicity in the sub-acute model as seen in survivability, locomotor activity as well as oxidative stress markers including reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation and the endogenous antioxidant defenses.Conclusion:Our study shows that the antioxidant compounds exhibit varying degrees of protection against PQ-induced oxidative stress and neurotoxicity with DHA-I, quercetin, and nicotinamide being the most effective and ellagic acid, the least potent inDrosophila. Our results show that mitochondrial Mn-SOD is a critical target for PQ neurotoxicity and the neuroprotection by the antioxidants involves the attenuation of mitochondrial ROS production and oxidative damage.

Authors: Chandramore Kavita 
Published: November 2017

Objective: A systematic technique for protein modeling offers great assistance in the study of protein function, dynamics, interactions with ligands, other proteins and even in drug discovery and drug design. Subcutaneous filariasis is rare parasitic disease caused by Loa Loa (eye worm) and monosonallastreptoscerca species. Methods: The present study develop three dimensional structure of dihydrofolatereductase present in Loa loa species. For this purpose knowledge based homology modeling is used by using Schrodinger Glide 5.6 software.Results: The procedure involves alignment that maps residues in the query sequence to residues in the template sequence to generate structural model of target, which was further refined and final result validated by using Ramchandran plot.Conclusion: In ramchandran plot majority of the amino acids are in the phi-psi distribution and thedevelop model is reliable and of good quality.

Authors: Ludwig Saskia , Theis Cathrin , Brown Ben , Witthohn Andreas , Lux Wolfram , Goette Andreas 
Published: November 2017

Aim:
Estimate incidence and costs of cardiac device infections (CDIs) in Germany.
Materials & methods:
Patients had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator implanted over 2010–2013 and were followed to December 2014 using German health insurance claims data. A case-controlled analysis was performed using propensity score matching methods.
Results:
Risk of CDI 12 months post-implant was 3.4% overall, either 2.9% for
de novo
procedures versus 4.4% for replacement procedures. Mean 3-year incremental expenditure per patient for patients with CDI compared with controls was €31,493 for
de novo
implant patients and €33,777 for replacement patients. Mean incremental expenditure was €59,419 per patient with a major infection.
Conclusion:
CDIs are highly expensive to manage, reinforcing the need for strategies to reduce their occurrence.
Stylistic Analysis of Ahmed Ali’s Short Story Our Lane
Authors: Chandio Muhammad Tufail , Bughio Faraz Ali , Panhwar Abdul Hameed , Memon Sikander Munir 
Published: November 2017

The undertaken study is based on stylistic analysis of Ahmed Ali’s short story Our Lane. The study analyzes how the author has used linguistic features like noun, adjective, conjunction, sentence complexity to portray the social, political, economic, religious, psychological and cultural conditions of the colonized natives of the Indian subcontinent in the wake of the British colonial rule. The story portrays how the colonial rule has deteriorated the people socially, economically, politically and psychologically. Ahmed Ali’s use of adjective is in consonant with the established norm of using 7 to 8% of the total text (Hofland &amp; Johansson, 1987:6). Whereas, the median of 343 sentences is 13, which is shorter than the length of an average modern sentence, which according to Ellegard is 17.8 words. While rebutting colonial narrative, he deviates from the standards of English language: excessive use of coordinating conjunction ‘and’ is evidence to it. Most adjectives of positive characteristics qualify to the past, whereas the adjectives referring to present are either of negative or of neutral characteristics, and thus the writer recognizes the glory of the past and condemns the disintegrating present and uncertain future in the colonized land.

Published: November 2017

<em>The aim of this study is to evaluate the extent of awareness and practices of oral hygiene among undergraduate female students in a residential college of a university at Malaysia and to assess the need for awareness programs about oral hygiene. The study was carried out using a self-administered questionnaire. Hundred undergraduate female Malay students were selected as sample through convenience sampling. The results indicated that a majority of the respondents used toothpaste and toothbrush as primary tools for cleaning their teeth twice a day and was found that they had never used Miswak (a wooden teeth-cleaning stick made from tree twigs). They had adequate knowledge about periodontal and gingival health and were aware of the importance of visiting dentist regularly; however, most of them visited dentists when having a toothache. They had also reported need for organizing oral hygiene awareness programs by college administration and showed adequate oral hygiene knowledge and practices. Nevertheless, few inadequate practices were also identified which were being considered under oral hygiene along with lack of awareness programs being organized in college for which recommendations are suggested.</em>

Enduring Resilience of Capitalist Power: The Role of Capitalist Education as a Technology of Governance
Authors: Ansari Javed A , Shahzad Asad 
Published: November 2017

<em>Capitalism has experienced several crises since its emergence but its present global dominance apparently remains unassailable. This paper argues that capitalism’s resilience is grounded in the systemic hegemony of capitalist individuality—an individuality, committed to freedom as an ultimate end and seeking abundance in this world. It has been argued that the successful manufacturing of capitalist subjectivity is significantly dependent on the inculcation of capitalist values to the subject of capital through capitalist education. Section one focuses on freedom as capitalism’s telos and sketches the historical emergence of capitalist subjectivity formed by processes of capitalist governance. Section two investigates the formational role of capitalist education as a technology of capitalist governance. It analyzes capitalist education as a means for the construction of capitalist individuality. Section three argues that capitalism’s main antagonists, especially Marxist socialism, cannot effectively challenge capitalist hegemony in the lifeworld or at the level of the state because they (i.e. main antagonists) endorse freedom (the core capitalist value) as an ultimate end in itself. Socialism does not propose to alter the subjectivity of an individual that the capitalist education constructs.</em>

Solidariedade Tributária e Grupos Econômicos
Authors: Lopes Christian Sahb Batista , Frattari Rafhael 
Published: November 2017

A pesquisa discute a imputação do dever tributário a terceiros em virtude do mero pertencimento a grupo econômico, na tentativa de determinar as hipóteses nas quais seria possível a aplicação deste procedimento. A partir da definição legal de grupo econômico com base na legislação societária, trabalhista e tributária foi possível identificar grupos econômicos de direito e grupos econômicos de fato. O trabalho constatou que a responsabilização tributária depende da solidariedade e que a última só pode ser determinada pelo legislador complementar. Ao largo deste caso, concluiu-se que só se pode atribuir responsabilidade tributária a terceiro por grupo econômico se houver desconsideração da personalidade jurídica, nos termos dos requisitos exigidos pela lei civil e, a partir do ano que vem, segundo o procedimento colocado pelo Novo Código de Processo Civil.
