Authors: Saini R. K. , Ahirwar Ashik , Kasim M. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

India's 2030 renewable energy ambitions have been reduced from 500 gigawatts from non-fossil sources. India accepted its UNFCCC duties before the COP26 summit in Glasgow in November 2022, including the goal of reducing carbon emissions by one billion tons by the end of the decade. As a clean, affordable alternative, solar energy is being explored, therefore choosing the best site for a solar power plant (SSP) is vital. The study application handles imprecise, unclear, and uncertain criteria using preference neighborhood-elimination and choice translating reality (PN-ELECTRE) decision-making (DM). We tackle multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems with imprecise or ambiguous data utilizing this technique. Group decision support and Pythagorean neutrosophic numbers (PNNs) are used in PN-ELECTRE III. A balanced decision-making method is needed to resolve SPP location ambiguity. The suggested DM support system smoothly integrated economic, social, environmental, and technological issues into two phases. The increased demand for renewable energy and the difficulty of finding suitable solar power facility sites prompted the research. The Bundelkhand region of India shows how the recommended technique might help policymakers and investors choose renewable energy. It effectively incorporates several criteria and overcomes inaccurate data. The study found that the proposed technique solves the SPP placement problem.

Abstract

The capacity to regenerate skeletal muscle function after injury requires a complex and well-coordinated cellular response, which is challenged in aged skeletal muscle. Here, we unravel the intricate dynamics of elderly human skeletal muscle regeneration by combining spatial, temporal, and single cell transcriptomics. Using spatial RNA sequencing, we profiled the expression of human protein-coding genes in elderly human skeletal muscle biopsies before as well as 2-, 8-, and 30-days post injury. Single Cell-Spatial deconvolution analysis highlights monocytes/macrophages and fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) as pivotal players in human muscle regeneration. By utilizing flow cytometry and cell sorting we confirmed increased cellular content and activity during regeneration. Spatial correlation analysis unveils FAPs and monocytes/macrophages co-localization and intercellular communication, mediated by complement factor C3. Immunostaining confirms C3 expression in FAPs and FAP secretion of C3, suggesting a role in phagocytosis of necrotic muscle cells. Finally, functional assays demonstrate C3's impact on human monocyte metabolism, survival and phagocytosis, unveiling its involvement in skeletal muscle regeneration. These insights elucidate FAP-macrophage interplay in aged human muscle with perspectives for future therapeutic interventions to reduce the aged induced decline in regenerative capacity.

Published: May 2024

Abstract

The soil fertility maps generated using Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) serve as crucial tools for effective nutrient management decision-making. However, soil fertility data for the Minapur, Kanti, and Marwan blocks of Muzaffarpur district, Bihar, was found to be insufficient. Therefore, a soil fertility inventory research was conducted in these three blocks to create thematic soil fertility maps. A total of 40 geo-referenced composite soil samples were collected from various locations within the study area using a handheld GPS device. The processed soil samples were analyzed for various soil fertility parameters using standard methods. Soil nutrient status and fertility maps were then created using ArcGIS software with Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation techniques. The results clearly indicated that the soil reaction was alkaline, with a pH value exceeding 7.5. The content of soil organic matter, potassium, and sulphur was found to be low to medium, while available nitrogen and phosphorus levels were recorded as very low in these blocks

Abstract:
Central nervous system tumors are abnormal proliferations of neuronal cells within the
brain and spinal cord. They can be primary or secondary and place a heavy financial, psychological,
and physical burden on individuals. The highly selective blood-brain barrier, which only permits
specific molecules to flow into the brain parenchyma, inhibits the efficacy of pharmacological
medicines. Treatment options include surgery, chemoradiotherapy, and targeted therapy. Despite
advances in therapy over the past few decades, the overall morbidity and mortality rates are
still high, emphasizing the need for improved therapeutic choices to improve survival and quality
of life further. Nano pharmaceuticals have demonstrated encouraging outcomes in in vivo trials using
microscopic particles to enhance bioavailability and selectivity. The most successful clinical
results to date have been achieved by liposomes, extracellular vesicles, and biomimetic nanoparticles;
nevertheless, clinical trials are required to confirm their safety, efficacy, affordability, longterm
impact, and success in patients from various demographics. Nano pharmaceuticals have the
potential to change the paradigm of therapy for brain tumors, allowing better outcomes as primary
and adjunctive therapy.

Published: May 2024

Abstract:
One lucrative method for overcoming challenges in drug discovery or for enhancing undesirable properties of
already-approved medications is prodrug design. The goal of this review is to present researchers with a profile
of naturally occurring Phytophenols as carriers that would be used for prodrug synthesis as well as their advantages.
Phytophenols offer several advantages when used as promoieties as they also possess antioxidant
and analgesic properties, they are obtained naturally and their safety profile is well established. Several phytophenols
like menthol, thymol, eugenol, guaiacol, sesamol, vanillin, and umbelliferone are some of the phytophenols
that have several beneficial properties and are extensively employed in the field of food processing
and medicine. In the current review, we have listed all types of promoieties that are used for prodrug synthesis
and phytophenols are reviewed in detail, which may help researchers to select phytophenols based on their
need and suitability for drug candidates.

Inflation Dynamics and Policy Mix in Ghana
Authors: Leshoro Temitope Lydia A. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Research background
Ghana was the second African country to adopt the inflation-targeting framework in 2007. The country faced persistently high levels of inflation, exceeding 100 percent in the early 1980s. Since the adoption of the inflation targeting regime, the inflation rate has decreased and remains below 20 percent.

Purpose
Given the importance of the policy mix in achieving price stability and economic growth in any economy, this study examines which policy mix is more effective in determining the inflation dynamics in Ghana.

Research methodology
Annual data from 1980 to 2021 and the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) were used, firstly on individual monetary and fiscal policy models and then jointly on the policy mix model.

Results
Results show that fiscal policy is effective and significant in determining inflation dynamics in Ghana in the long run, while monetary policy is ineffective, less dominant, and statistically insignificant. Monetary policy is effective and significant in the short run. Based on the findings of the study, policy recommendations include giving more attention to the possible coordination of fiscal and monetary policies than has been previously given.

Novelty
The study’s originality is in examining if the monetary or fiscal policy (policy mix) effectively regulates the inflation rate in Ghana; the inflation target and the exchange rate as external shocks were included, amongst others and estimating the separate and combined models for the policy mix.
