Published: March 2024

: The fall in core body temperature and peripheral body temperature following the administration of anaesthetic agent has been studied and demonstrated so far, along with the comparison of the same parameters following induction with propofol in contrast to that with sevoflurane. But no study so far, has compared the effects of TCI-propofol based anaesthesia with that of sevoflurane based anaesthesia for induction and maintenance, on core and peripheral body temperature and the gradient of temperature between the agents. The studies conducted so far, has shown more fall in core and peripheral body temperature from their respective baseline values when propofol was used for induction of anaesthesia in comparison to the use of sevoflurane. A total of 60 adults were randomized into two groups of 30 each; Group 1 were induced with TCI- propofol at 8mcg/ml plasma concentration and maintaind with TCI-propofol at 2-3mcg/ml plasma concentration and 66% nitrous oxide and 33% oxygen gas mixture. Group 2 were induced with intravenous thiopentone at 3-5mg/kg body weight and maintained with 1-1.5MAC sevoflurane, 66% nitrous oxide and 33% oxygen gas mixture. Core body temperature was measured inserting the temperature probe into nasophraynx and peripheral temperature was measured with the temperature probe inserted onto thenar eminence of either hand. We observed that both anaesthetic agents have caused similar fall in core temperature. However, peripheral temperature fell more with sevoflurane compared to TCI-propofol. In parallel with these observations, the increase in temperature gradient was higher in magnitude for sevoflurane based anaesthesia. The core temperature was comparable between the groups from their respective baseline values. But, the fall in peripheral temperature was more in sevoflurane group, so was the temperature gradient. Thus, TCI-propofol when used in appropriate plasma concentration for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia causes less hypothermia in contrast to sevoflurane.

Bystander CPR is an essential part of Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA). The Indian Society of Anaesthesiology Gujarat State Branch (ISAGSB) had embraced initiatives to teach Compression Only Life Support (COLS) to police personnel as they are likely to arrive before the emergency medical services in case of OHCA, thus increasing the chances of survival of victims. We evaluated the impact of one such training to 300 police men at our institute.: Participants were given a questionnaire in the pre and post training period and the impact of our training was evaluated in terms of attitude and knowledge by comparing the pre and post training scores.In both attitude and knowledge sections, there was a significant improvement in scores (p &#60; 0.001). Marked percentage rise was also seen in the knowledge section with regards to the technique of COLS (&#60;20% pre training to &#62;80% post training). We conclude that raising awareness towards COLS and imparting proper training to first responders like police personnel can significantly improve the chances of survival.

Published: March 2024

Approximately 80% of deaths attributable to skin cancer are attributed to melanoma. The main reason for its life-threatening nature is its high tendency to metastasis. The outlook for melanoma patients with distal metastases is grim, as they have a median survival of only six months, despite the utilization of the most advanced treatments now available. The Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway is the most frequently altered oncogene in melanoma. Phytochemicals are receiving significant recognition due to their minimal toxicity, affordable price, and widespread acceptance as dietary supplements. Preclinical investigations have revealed many cellular and molecular processes via which phytochemicals function in the prevention and treatment of metastatic melanoma.: In this study, we performed virtual screening of 464 phytoconstituents were obtained from the Naturally Occurring Plant-based Anti-cancer Compound-Activity-Target (NPACT) database to identify novel ERK inhibitors.: Virtual screening carried out prediction of drug-likeness and molecular docking studies with 2OJG, protein target related to ERK pathway.: Nine compounds achieved better docking score as compared to co-crystallized ligand. The accuracy of the docking method was checked using re-docking. Picetannol and sulfurentin were identified as potential inhibitors with docking score of -9.2 and -8.2, respectively. These two phytoconstituents also found to be non-carcinogenic which was predicted using a free webtool, Swiss ADME.: Our finding suggests that Piceatannol has promising potential to be further explored as ERK-pathway inhibitor in treatment of melanoma

Hair has historically been associated with beauty and a person's unique personality. Numerous elements, including metabolism, hormones, inheritance, and the adverse effects of immunosuppressive and anti-neoplastic medications, can adversely impact hair health and lead to hair loss, or alopecia. It is typical everywhere in the world.The current study examined the effect of betulin for hair growth promoting activity in rats.The study used 48 albino wistar rats, weighing 200 ± 30 grams and aged between 12 and 16 months. Testosterone was given at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg to induce hair loss. During 28 days, a once-daily topical application of minoxidil solution was made. On a daily basis for 28 days, betulin was administered orally at concentrations of 10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg, and 40 mg/kg. A combination of Betulin (10 mg/kg p.o.) and 3% Minoxidil was administered to one group, while the other was treated with Topical Betulin Solution (3 mg/ml once daily for 28 days). ANOVA analysis was used to ascertain the data's statistic.The results showed that effect of Betulin on Alopecia as evidenced by decreased levels of cholesterol, testosterone and increased levels of Hair length.According to the current study, albino wistar rats with Testosterone induced Alopecia can benefit from treatment with an Betulin.
The VAT Treatment of Cryptocurrencies
Authors: Nykiel-Mateo Anna 
Published: March 2024

Since their creation in 2009, crypto-assets have evolved from niche products into assets held and used much more widely. These assets pose challenges for policymakers and tax administrations, because, as pointed out by the OECD, they can be transferred and held without the participation of traditional financial intermediaries and without central administrators being aware of the transactions carried out or the location of crypto-assets holdings.
On the indirect taxation side, the VAT Committee discussed the issues relating to the VAT treatment of crypto-assets and, in particular, of cryptocurrencies, on several occasions. The discussion on the most recent of the working papers on this subject, No. 1037 on the VAT treatment of crypto-assets, resulted in the adoption of the Guidelines which aim at harmonising tax administrations’ practice regarding the VAT implications of the different transactions linked to crypto-assets.
The article highlights the main challenges posed by cryptocurrencies in terms of VAT while focusing on the main supplies with the use of cryptocurrencies and their qualification for the VAT purposes. Those transactions range from the creation, verification, validation, and supply of cryptocurrencies through their modification, storage, transfer, to exchange. The article explains in this context the position of the VAT Committee reflected in the Guidelines.
Upaya Konservasi Penyu sebagai Penyelamat dari Ancaman Kepunahan dalam Perspektif Islam

Published: March 2024

Turtle is one of the marine fauna that is protected because its existence is threatened with extinction. The high exploitation of turtles will threaten the sustainability of turtles in the future. Turtles are hunted a lot because of the high selling value of turtle body parts. The uniqueness of the shells on turtles to be used as accessories, until they are preserved for display is a common thing. In addition, the extinction of turtles also occurs because turtles are often trapped in fishing nets and turtles are carried by strong currents to hit coral which causes many turtle carcasses to be found. Through these problems, marine environmentalists find the right solution. To cope with the extinction, turtle breeding centers were built in various coastal areas in Indonesia. Various elements of society work together in efforts to conserve turtles. As a result, there are turtle breeding sites on every coast, for example turtle conservation on Pangumbuhanbeach in West Java, turtle conservation in Bali, and turtle conservation in Banyuwangi. Allah has given the mandate to humans as stated in the Qur'an.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Changing land-use practices has led to an increased rate of cropland abandonment in South Africa. Globally, climate change has increased the need for additional studies on the impact of land abandonment on soil health in arid and semi-arid environments. We, therefore, aimed to measure the changes in soil health with time following abandonment. The study site is located in the Winterberg Mountains of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Standard soil characteristics were assessed for three recovering old crop fields. Samples from the surrounding natural habitat were also included for comparison. Significant positive changes in soil water-holding capacity and carbon and nitrogen characteristics were observed with increased age since abandonment, pointing to soil quality recovery. It will, however, still take a significant amount of time for total recovery to be achieved. Continuous monitoring of old crop fields in agricultural and formally protected areas is needed to fully understand the long-term effects of cropping on soil quality in this region.
