Objective: To compare the antibacterial activity between commercial antibiotics versus Azadirachta indica (Neem) and Ocimum tenuiflorum (Tulsi) against clinical isolates of E. coli in urine sample of children.
Methodology: This study was comparative analytical study conducted at pediatric department, Talukas hospitals of district Khairpur (Mir’s), Sindh, from January 2020 to February 2022. Midstream urine samples of children (n=596) were collected from Taluka hospitals of District Khairpur (Mir’s) such as Khairpur, Gambat and Taluka Hospital Kotdiji. All samples were inoculated on different laboratory media and incubated for 24-48 hours. The determination of ESBL producing bacteria were tested by E-test. Double disk synergy method and antibiotic susceptibility test of ESBL producing E. coli isolates was performed by agar gel diffusion method. The extracts of Azadirachta indica (Neem) and Ocimum tenuiflorum (Tulsi) leaves were prepared by rotary evaporator and antibacterial effect of extracts was determined by agar well diffusion method. All data were entered in predesigned proforma.
Results: Out of 596 urine samples, ESBL producing E. coli 456 (76.1%) were isolated from urine samples of children. The mean age was 9.50±5.48 years (ranged between 2 – 17 years). In this study 254 (42.6%) were male while majority 342 (57.4%) were female. The greater resistance among the E.coli isolates was noted in Aztreonam 160 (35.1%) followed by Ampicillin 129 (28.3%), Amoxicillin/clavulanate 108 (23.7%) and others antibiotics. The observation of Azadirachta indica and Ocimum tenuiflorum extracts revealed the greater antibacterial effects on ESBL producing test isolates at the concentration of 01 to 25 µL/100 mL whereas the synergetic effect of both extracts was greatly observed at 14 µL/100 mL concentration by agar well diffusion method.
Conclusions: Urinary tract infection caused by multidrug resistant E. coli and ESBL producing E. coli was greatly prevailing all age groups of both genders particularly in 13-17 years of children. The antibiotic susceptibility test revealed multidrug resistant while Azadirachta indica and Ocimum tenuiflorum extracts revealed the greater antibacterial effects. These findings are concluded that emergence of MDR strains of ESBL- E. coli could be treated with test extracts as alternate and inexpensive therapy.

Les femmes artistes dans la production romanesque de Henri Lopes
Authors: Nganga-Mienanzambi Mathusalem 
Published: June 2024

Le présent article se propose d’étudier les personnages féminins dans la production romanesque de Henri Lopes, plus précisément Sur l’autre rive (1992), Le Lys et le Flamboyant (1997) et Une enfant de Poto-Poto (2012). En effet, la présence de figures féminines dans l’œuvre de Lopes n’est pas un hasard. Elle relève de la volonté de l’auteur de se servir de la femme non seulement pour l’honorer, mais également pour l’amener à s’émanciper et à se libérer de la société. De ce fait, toutes les fictions narratives de ce romancier présentent plusieurs facettes de la femme en tant que personnage : ses caractéristiques psychologiques, son combat et surtout son métier d’artiste. C’est à ce statut de la femme artiste que nous nous intéressons. Suite à ce constat, la question suivante se pose à notre étude : comment Henri Lopes met-il en scène la femme artiste dans son œuvre ? En recourant à la sémiologie du personnage romanesque de Philippe Hamon (1972) et à l’intermédialité de Jürgen Ernst Müller (2000), notre réflexion permet d’élucider les stratégies et les techniques discursives utilisées par Lopes dans le processus de fabrication des personnages féminins artistes dans les trois fictions narratives indiquées.
El concepto no-positivista de derecho de Kant
Authors: Alexy Robert , Nava Tovar (Traductor) Alejandro 
Published: June 2024

La tesis principal de este artículo es que el concepto de derecho de Kant es no-positivista, a pesar de que su filosofía jurídica incluye elementos positivistas muy fuertes. Mi argumento toma como punto de partida la distinción de tres elementos en torno a los cuales gira el debate entre el positivismo jurídico y el no- positivismo jurídico: primero, la expedición autoritativa, segundo, la eficacia social y, tercero, la corrección moral. Todas las teorías positivistas se limitan a los dos primeros elementos. Tan pronto en cuanto se establece una conexión necesaria entre estos dos primeros elementos y el tercero, a saber, la corrección moral, el panorama cambia radicalmente. El positivismo se convierte en no-positivismo. Existen dos tipos de conexiones entre el derecho y la moral: las conexiones clasificantes y las conexiones cualificantes. Esta distinción proviene de los diferentes tipos de efectos que producen los defectos morales. Una conexión clasificante lleva a la pérdida de la validez jurídica, mientras que una conexión cualificante sólo lleva a un defecto jurídico. En la teoría del derecho de Kant se dan ambas conexiones. La conexión cualificante es evidente en toda la teoría del derecho de Kant, mientras que la conexión clasificante, por el contrario, es rara y bien oculta. Esto bastará para considerar a Kant como un representante del no-positivismo incluyente.
Democrazia, o chi vale cosa (Thuc. II 37, 1)
Authors: Almazova Nina 
Published: June 2024

Abstract Democracy, or what everyone is worth (Thuc. II 37, 1) The paper addresses two exegetical problems in a passage from the speech of Pericles (Thuc. II 37, 1). It is argued that the word μέρος probably means «rotation» rather than «class-affiliation», since in this way three successive phrases, instead of being tautological, form an elegant system of affirmations, each of which is precising the previous one. The words ἀξίωσις and ἀξίωμα are opposed as signifying the process of acknowledgment of ἀρετή and the result of it (be it gaining authority, recognition of merits, appointment to a post, or simply approval of a proposal in an assembly). If ἀξιώματος depends from κεκώλυται and not from ἀφανείᾳ, ἀφάνεια need not have the meaning «absence», which seems not characteristic of it.
PLAUR facilitates the progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma by activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway
Authors: Qin Tianzi , Huang Minyu , Wei Wenjuan , Zhou Wei , Tang Qianli , Huang Qun , Tang Ning , Gai Shasha 
Published: June 2024

Background
PLAUR has been found upregulated in various tumors and closely correlated with the malignant phenotype of tumor cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between PLAUR and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and its potential mechanism of promoting tumor progression.

Methods
The expression levels and clinical significance of PLAUR, along with the associated signaling pathways, were extensively investigated in ccRCC samples obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). PLAUR expression in 20 pairs of ccRCC tumor tissues and the adjacent tissues was assessed using qRT-PCR and IHC staining. Additionally, a series of in vitro experiments were conducted to investigate the impact of PLAUR suppression on cellular proliferation, migration, invasion, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis in ccRCC. The Western blot analysis was employed to investigate the expression levels of pivotal genes associated with the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Results
The expression of PLAUR was significantly upregulated in ccRCC compared to normal renal tissues, and higher PLAUR expression in ccRCC was associated with a poorer prognosis than low expression. The in-vitro functional investigations demonstrated that knockdown of PLAUR significantly attenuated the proliferation, migration, and invasion capabilities of ccRCC cells. Concurrently, PLAUR knockdown effectively induced cellular apoptosis, modulated the cell cycle, inhibited the EMT process, and attenuated the activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. PLAUR may represent a key mechanism underlying ccRCC progression.

Conclusions
The involvement of PLAUR in ccRCC progression may be achieved through the activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, making it a reliable biomarker for the identification and prediction of ccRCC.
Investigating the eye movement characteristics of basketball players executing 3-point shot at varied intensities and their correlation with shot accuracy
Authors: Zhao Xuetong , Zhao Chunzhou , Liu Na , Li Sunnan 
Published: June 2024

Background
The 3-point shot plays a significant and pivotal role in the historical context of basketball competitions. Visual attention exerts a crucial influence on the shooting performance of basketball players. This study aims to investigate the eye movement characteristics exhibited by high-level basketball players while executing 3-point shot at varying exercise intensities, as well as explore the correlation between these eye movement characteristics and 3-point field goal percentage.

Methods
A total of twenty highly skilled female basketball players were recruited as participants for this study. During the experiment, the participants wore an eye tracker to record their eye movement data while executing 3-point shot at varying exercise intensities (low, moderate, and high). The collected eye movement data was analyzed using Tobii Pro Lab software. Additionally, the participants’ exercise intensity was monitored by wearing Polar Team Pro sensors.

Results
The average number of fixations during the execution of a 3-point shot at three exercise intensities exhibited statistically significant differences in the front, bottom, top left, and bottom right. Moreover, notable disparities were observed in the average fixation duration for the front, bottom, and bottom right. The average total number of fixations and fixation duration in the moderate intensity shot were comparatively lower than those observed in the low and high intensity shots, while the average number of fixations and percentage of fixation duration on the front were relatively higher compared to those in the low and high intensity shots. Under varying intensities, there were no significant differences observed in the average number of fixations and the 3-point field goal percentage each AOI; however, a significantly positive correlation was found between the front average fixation duration and the 3-point field goal percentage.

Conclusion
During the execution of a moderate intensity 3-point shot, the player’s fixation is focused and stable, their information search strategy is efficient, and their information processing is precise. Variations in exercise intensity result in changes to both the information search strategy and degree of processing. Fixating on the front has a positive impact on 3-point field goal percentage.

Published: June 2024

In the present investigation Bacillus subtilis CCI3 was evaluated for use as a probiotic supplement in the feeds for the fingerlings of Cyprinus carpio. The outcome of supplement on the feed utilization efficiency, growth performance, and immune response was evaluated. Cyprinus carpio fingerlings (avg. wt. 27.75 ± 0.045 g) were fed feed supplement with 2 x 104 (feed BS1), 2 x 105 (feed BS2) and 2 x106 (feed BS3) Bacillus subtilis cells per 100g feed for 60 days @ 5 % of the body weight per day in two equal installments in triplicate treatments. The control diet (CC) was not supplemented with the Bacillus subtilis. All the feeds are isocaloric and isonitrogenous. Feed BS2 fed fishes showed better growth, significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher protein efficiency ratio (PER), highest RNA: DNA ratio and a lower feed conversion ratio (FCR) than the other experimental feeds. Feed BS2 fed fishes also showed highest carcass protein and lipid than the others. Intestinal protease and α – amylase activity was observed significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) in BS2 feed treated fishes and also significantly (p ≤ 0.05) greatest GPT and GOT values were observed in feed BS2 fed fishes but lowest in control (C). Highest TSP, albumin, globulin was observed in BS2 treated fishes after 60 days feeding trial. But lowest glucose level was observed in the same treatment. TEC, TLC, Hct and Hb values were highest in BS2 treated fishes. After feeding trial the specific and non-specific immunity levels and disease resistance of fish were also studied. NBT, antibody titer and serum bacterial activity were highest in diet BS2 fed fishes. After feeding trial the fishes were challenged for 10 days by bath exposure to Aeromonas sp. (A2) [105 CFU ml-1, 1hr. and after 7 days 107 CFU ml-1, 1hr].

Aktienindexregeln als Instrument der Corporate Governance — Inhalte, Rechtsnatur und Handlungsempfehlungen für die Praxis
Authors: Seibt Christoph H. , Denninger Philip 
Published: June 2024

Zusammenfassung
Aktienindexregeln sind bedeutende Instrumente zur Gestaltung der Corporate Governance börsennotierter Unternehmen geworden. Indexanbieter haben in den vergangenen Jahren ihre Anforderungen an die einbezogenen Unternehmen - zum Teil auf Kapitalmarktdruck hin - signifikant erhöht. Sie stellen für eine Indexzugehörigkeit längst nicht mehr nur auf vorrangig quantitative Aspekte ab, sondern haben zunehmend auch qualitative Anforderungen an Unternehmen, insbesondere in Form sog. „Basiskriterien“, in ihre Indexregeln aufgenommen. Dieser Bedeutungszuwachs ist von großen Teilen der Unternehmenspraxis (aber auch der rechtswissenschaftlichen Forschung) noch nicht realisiert und in die aktive Corporate Governance-Gestaltung aufgenommen worden. Dieser Beitrag behandelt daher das Geschäftsmodell und den regulatorischen Rahmen für Aktienindizes und zeigt auf, welche Anforderungen und welche Handlungsspielräume insoweit für eine umsichtig handelnde Unternehmensleitung bestehen.

Zusammenfassung
Anteile an Kapitalgesellschaften stellen häufig SBV II im Rahmen einer Mitunternehmerschaft dar, wenn sie mit ihr in einem hinreichenden Sachzusammenhang stehen. Der Verfasser analysiert, ob und unter welchen Voraussetzungen dies für Anteile an „beherrschungsvermittelnden“ Kapitalgesellschaften im Rahmen einer Betriebsaufspaltung gelten kann und zeigt auf, dass eine Eigenschaft als notwendiges SBV II in aller Regel nicht in Betracht kommen wird. Allerdings besteht die Möglichkeit, die Anteile als gewillkürtes SBV II zu behandeln.
Environmentally induced migration, theoretical and methodological research challenges
Authors: Afifi Tamer , Warner Koko , Rosenfeld Therese 
Published: November 2012

Abstract
In the last decade, more and more attention has been given to the impact of environmental problems on migration. In particular, after the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005 more light was shed on the issue and the international community became aware of the fact that climate change is going to affect not only developing countries. Hence, the debate on environmentally induced migration has intensified and the academic community has started to recognize the need for an empirical base upon which any claim about the relationship between the environment and human migration could be substantiated or rejected. Nevertheless, new multidisciplinary research areas require the support of various donors and concerned institutions.

Published: November 2012

AbstractThe development of gas sensors with innovative designs and advanced functional materials has attracted considerable scientific interest given their potential for addressing important technological challenges. This work presents new insight towards the development of high‐performance p‐type semiconductor gas sensors. Gas sensor test devices, based on copper (II) oxide (CuO) with innovative and unique designs (urchin‐like, fiber‐like, and nanorods), are prepared by a microwave‐assisted synthesis method. The crystalline composition, surface area, porosity, and morphological characteristics are studied by X‐ray powder diffraction, nitrogen adsorption isotherms, field‐emission scanning electron microscopy and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy. Gas sensor measurements, performed simultaneously on multiple samples, show that morphology can have a substantial influence on gas sensor performance. An assembly of urchin‐like structures is found to be most effective for hydrogen detection in the range of parts‐per‐million at 200 °C with 300‐fold larger response than the previously best reported values for semiconducting CuO hydrogen gas sensors. These results show that morphology plays an important role in the gas sensing performance of CuO and can be effectively applied in the further development of gas sensors based on p‐type semiconductors.
