Authors: Zainab Omoruyi , Olalekan Abdullateef , Oluwasegun Egunjobi 
Published: February 2024

Urinary tract infections usually develop in the lower urinary tract and if not properly treated, they ascend to the upper urinary tract, causing severe damage to the kidneys. Sansevieria zeylenica is a plant known to be rich in phenolic compounds, which may be responsible for its antibacterial activities against Uropathogens.The study was aimed to investigate the antimicrobial effect of Sansevieria zeylenica extracts against isolate of UTI among students attending tertiary institution. A total of two hundred (200) urine samples were randomly collected from the students attending University of Benin into sterile universal containers and analyzed for the detection of Uropathogens using standard microbiological procedure while the leaf and root of Sansevieria zeylenica extraction was carried out with methanol using the Soxhlet apparatus. The antimicrobial activity against the isolates was determined using Agar well diffusion and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the extracts against the isolates was determined using the microdilution method. Of the 200 participants studied, 23 (11.5%) had growth of four bacteria species associated with urinary tract infection; Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. The activity of both leaf and root extracts was greater at 200mg/ml against E. coli and P. vulgaris isolates, but at 400mg/ml against S. aureus with Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations of the leaf extract as 8mg/ml, 4mg/ml, 8mg/ml, and >16mg/ml against E. coli, S. aureus, P. vulgaris, and P. aeruginosa, respectively. The association of leaf extract and Ampicillin increases the activity of Ampicillin, producing a greater zone of inhibition (26mm) against P. vulgaris compared to Ampicillin alone (21mm) and leaf extract alone (16mm) giving rise to a synergistic effect. Sansevieria zeylanica extracts in this study can control Urinary Tract Infection and may be combined with conventional antibiotics as a treatment for Uropathogens. Though, further investigation would be requiring for the molecular mechanism behind its antibacterial activity.

Проведено дилатометрическое исследование бейнитного превращения в стали 20Х2Г2СНМА при изотермической выдержке в температурном интервале 280–380 °С. Определена кинетика процесса образования бейнита, установлены значения коэффициентов k, n уравнения Остина-Риккета, удовлетворительно описывающего экспериментальные кривые. При помощи рентгеноструктурного анализа выполнена оценка количества остаточного аустенита в структуре стали после изотермической закалки. Показано, что при температуре выдержки 320 °С и выше содержание углерода в остаточном аустените удовлетворительно согласуется с теоретически предсказанными значениями, а при температуре выдержки ниже 320 °С наблюдается расхождение, связанное с менее интенсивным протеканием бейнитного превращения и перераспределения углерода. Установлена корреляция между ударной вязкостью исследованной стали, количеством бейнита, остаточного аустенита и содержанием в нем углерода. Показано, что с увеличением доли бейнита в процессе изотермической выдержки количество остаточного аустенита в стали увеличивается, а содержание в нем углерода уменьшается, что негативно сказывается на ударной вязкости стали.
A dilatometric study of the bainite transformation in 20Kh2G2SNMA steel during isothermal holding in the temperature range of 280–380 °C was carried out. The kinetics of the bainite transformation is determined, the values of the coefficients k, n of the Austin-Rickett equation are established. The fraction of retained austenite in the steel structure after isothermal hardening was estimated using X-ray diffraction analysis. It is shown that at 320 °C and higher the carbon content in retained austenite is in satisfactory agreement with the theoretically predicted values, and below 320 °C, there is a discrepancy associated with slower bainite transformation and carbon partitioning. A correlation has been established between the impact strength, the fraction of bainite and retained austenite, and the carbon content in the latter. It is shown that with an increase in the fraction of bainite during isothermal holding, the fraction of retained austenite in steel increases, and the carbon content in it decreases, which negatively affects the impact strength of steel.

Authors: Kangan Dave, Swarali Rao Peri Nimisha Rajasri, Aahna Garg, 
Published: February 2024

Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols, and how they are used to communicate meaning. It helps advertisers understand how different signs and symbols are interpreted by consumers of different groups. This helps companies in framing messages which can easily convey the exact message to the right target customers and audience. Signs include various colors, shapes, and images to evoke feelings as each of these is associated with specific emotions and feelings. The proper usage of the colors and symbols creates an impact and the advertisement is registered in the audience’s mind.
Semiotics gives marketers an effective medium to communicate the meaning past words, utilizing signs and images that help in creating a brand identity and generate brand recall amongst the people. By utilizing components such as logos, colors, and symbolism, marketers make a visual impact that rises above phonetic clutter and encourages prompt acknowledgment. This enhances brand review and differentiation in an increasingly cluttered advertising scene.

Semiotics plays a significant part within the domain of how shoppers see and decipher brand messages. This study aims to study its significant impact on shopper behavior, brand personality, and social reverberation.
The study has been carried out in and around Navi Mumbai. Respondents mainly comprised marketing students, teachers and professionals among others. To understand the preference of consumers in depth, various tests like Chi Square, Anova, regression analysis and t tests were carried out by the researchers. Primarily, they reveal that consumer preference varies across age groups and various elements of semiotics have an impact on brand recognition. The managerial implications of each of the tested objectives have been discussed in detail further in the paper.

Published: February 2024

Primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin (PMCS) is an extremely uncommon skin cancer originating from sweat glands. We present a case of a male patient diagnosed with PMCS who was initially misdiagnosed with benign sebaceous cysts. A 62-year-old male patient presented to a private clinic with a chief complaint of a slowly progressing nodule located under his lower lip for the past two years; The nodule was locally excised . The histopathology analysis yielded a diagnosis of mucinous carcinoma with a positive circumferential margin. Reexcison was performed, and the final histopathology result was a small nest of mucinous carcinoma with a negative surgical margin. He underwent thorough investigation, including gastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, and computerized tomography (CT) scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, and found no signs of primary tumor. He was discharged from our hospital and educated to follow up closely for local recurrence. This paper illustrates the rarity of this disease, its vague presentation, and a brief review of diagnosis and treatment.
La creación e implantación de los partidos judiciales en la Rioja (1812-1834)
Authors: Díez Morrás Francisco Javier 
Published: February 2024

Los partidos judiciales, regulados por primera vez en la Constitución de Cádiz, surgieron como pilar básico y necesario del nuevo sistema judicial liberal. Durante el primer período constitucional (1812-1814), su implantación fue parcial, compleja y desigual. Fue en el Trienio liberal (1820-1823) cuando se logró dividir por primera vez todo el país en partidos y nombrar jueces de primera instancia, aunque fuese provisionalmente. No obstante, la descoordinación que se produjo en ambos períodos entre las divisiones provincial y judicial, dificultó su efectividad. La división en partidos efectuada en el territorio riojano tuvo notables peculiaridades. En el primer bienio estuvo condicionada al no haberse convertido aún la Rioja en provincia política independiente, lo que ocasionó, entre otras cosas, disputas entre las localidades de Haro y Nájera por una sede judicial separada del partido de Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Los partidos judiciales riojanos del primer bienio fueron con[1]firmados en su mayor parte en 1820, pero quedaron territorialmente desajustados al crearse en 1822 la provincia de Logroño y tener que acomodar sus límites geográficos a los de la nueva provincia política. Finalmente, los partidos judiciales serían regularizados y rediseñados en España y en la Rioja en 1834, adaptándose de forma estricta a los nuevos y definitivos límites provinciales aprobados el año anterior, si bien aún no había sido recuperado el modelo político y judicial de naturaleza liberal.
