Authors: Amin Muhammad Rizwan 
Published: October 2023

With the expanding use of portable devices in modern environments, everything, including shopping, social networking, and information collecting, is now possible via mobile devices. Mobile phone use, on the other hand, is expanding by the day. Because the use of mobile devices has increased the number of computing jobs, so has the amount of processing of these tasks. Despite all of these gains in data storage and processing, mobile devices struggle to handle massive applications such as CPUs.
MCC enables a mobile device to do operations or analyze data in the cloud and then return results to the device. Because the processing takes place in the cloud, it makes use of the mobile device's CPU capacity in comparison to non-cloud processing. I am faster at it. It also supports cloud storage, allowing you to view your data from everywhere on any device. We will explore concerns and obstacles in MCC as the data is processed on the internet and the results are given back to the mobile device in this research study. This can lead to concerns with security, integrity, and privacy. In this essay, we will cover the benefits, challenges, and limitations of mobile cloud computing and suggest possible solutions to these issues.

Kalanchoe daigremontiana é uma das plantas medicinais e ornamentais presentes no pátio do ambiente escolar, conhecida popularmente como aranto e mil folhas. Na medicina tradicional, é bem conhecida por sua ação anti-inflamatórios e analgésica, e usada para tratamento em lesões e feridas da pele. O objetivo desse trabalho foi realizar a análise fitoquímica da K. daigremontiana, bem como do conhecimento popular sobre a planta. A pesquisa realizada tem caráter qualitativo e foi desenvolvida no município de Urandi – BA em duas etapas. Na primeira etapa, aplicou-se um questionário para 35 pessoas, incluindo adolescentes, adultos e idosos. Na segunda etapa, foi realizada a análise fitoquímica dos constituintes químicos da planta, no laboratório de ciências do Colégio Estadual de Urandi em parceria com o Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia Baiano (IF Baiano). Quanto a análise fitoquímica, utilizou-se a solução de hidróxido de sódio para identificação de flavonoides e cloreto férrico para verificar a presença de fenóis ou taninos. O conhecimento popular da planta aranto, foi analisado a partir dos dados do questionário. A maioria (62%) dos participantes afirmaram conhecer a planta. E ao ser questionado sobre o nome popular, 66% responderam, aranto. Quanto ao resultado experimental, a cor verde amarelada indicou a presença de flavononas no extrato, porém, a presença de alguns constituintes podem mascarar outros. A flavonona é um composto bioativo responsável pelas propriedades anti-inflamatórias em plantas (SILVEIRA, 2014). Não houve aparência cor azulada no extrato na presença de cloreto férrico. Porém, a cor verde musgo aparente no extrato, indicou a presença de taninos. Segundo Souza et al. (2022), taninos são metabólitos secundários que agem naturalmente contra infecções microbianas. Concluiu-se que a maioria das pessoas entrevistadas no município de Urandi, conheciam a planta em estudo como aranto e seu uso para fins medicinais. A análise fitoquímica dos extratos da parte aérea da planta aranto resultou na verificação de flavonoides, e taninos.

Published: October 2023

A alface é a hortaliça folhosa mais importante na alimentação brasileira, o que lhe confere uma expressiva importância econômica. Seu baixo valor calórico a qualifica para diversas dietas, o que favorece o seu consumo sob a forma crua, possibilitando a ocorrência de enfermidades intestinais pois a torna um importante veículo de contaminação parasitológica e microbiológica para a população humana provenientes dos sistemas de cultivo orgânico e tradicional (não orgânico). Diante do exposto, esse trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar a qualidade microbiológica de alfaces cultivadas de forma orgânica e convencional no município de Guanambi, Bahia. As alfaces orgânicas foram obtidas de diferentes produtores da região e as convencionais de diferentes supermercados no município de Guanambi, Bahia. Foram coletadas o total de seis amostras, sendo três orgânicas e três convencionais, estas foram acondicionadas em sacos de polietileno estéreis e transportadas até o Laboratório de Microbiologia de Alimentos do IF Baiano campus Guanambi. As análises microbiológicas seguiram os métodos dispostos no livro “Manual de Métodos de Análises Microbiológicas de Alimentos” de Silva e colaboradores. Para a preparação das amostras foram pesadas uma quantidade de 25g de amostra e homogeneizadas com 225 mL de água peptonada em embalagem asséptica, então foram pipetados 1,0mL da diluição 10-1 para um tubo contendo 9,0mL de água peptonada (diluição 10-2). Esta metodologia foi repetida até a obtenção da diluição de 10-3. Para a análise de bactérias aeróbias mesófilas foi inoculado 0,1mL em meio Ágar Padrão (PCA) que foram incubadas em BOD a 35°C por 24/48 horas. Para análise de coliformes foi feito o teste presuntivo e aqueles que estavam positivos passaram pelo teste confirmativo para coliformes totais e fecais. Na análise de E.coli foram pipetados 0,1mL das diluições e inoculados em Ágar MacConkey e incubadas em BOD a 45°C por 24/48 horas. Para a detecção de Salmonella foi pipetado 0,1mL das diluições inoculadas em Ágar Salmonella-Shigela incubadas em BOD a 35°C por 24 horas e foi verificada se houve presença de colônias. Nos resultados verificou-se presença de Salmonella spp. em todas as amostras com método de plantio convencional. Quanto a presença de microrganismos aeróbios mesófilos e Escherichia coli houve contagens acima do permitido e apenas uma amostra de alface orgânica teve ausência destes microrganismos. Estes resultados reforçam a importância da sanitização em alimentos, principalmente daqueles que serão consumidos crus, para que possa ser assegurado a qualidade e a segurança dos consumidores. Foi possível verificar que ambas as formas de cultivo apresentaram baixos padrões higiênico-sanitários, devido à alta contaminação por coliformes totais e termotolerantes.

Published: October 2023

As PANCs (Plantas Alimentícias Não-Convencionais) veem ganhando destaque, por apresentar diversas características nutricionais ainda desconhecidas. Dentre estas, a Beldroega (Portulaca oleracea L., Portulacaceae), que é uma PANC, despertou nos últimos anos interesse na comunidade científica, devido a sua ampla possibilidade de uso na alimentação, bem como por apresentar diversos compostos bioativos que podem ser usados na produção de fármacos, além da aptidão como ornamental pela beleza das suas flores, e por ter a comercialização liberada pelo governo Brasileiro. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar capacidade antioxidante do extrato de beldroega. As folhas de beldroega foram adquiridas junto a produtores locais e encaminhadas para o Laboratório de Bromatologia do IF Baiano Guanambi, em seguida foram secas, trituradas e o extrato foi obtido em solução aquosa. A avaliação da capacidade antioxidante total foi determinada, segundo metodologia proposta por Prieto, Pineda e Aguilar (1999) com adaptações. Os extratos e as frações foram preparados na concentração de 1%, assim como o padrão utilizado, ácido ascórbico. Em tubos de ensaio foram colocados alíquotas de 0,3 mL de cada amostra e adicionado 3 mL de solução reagente do complexo fosfomolibdênio. Os tubos foram fechados e incubados a 95 °C por 90 minutos. Após resfriamento, a leitura das absorbâncias foi realizada em espectrofotômetro no comprimento de onda 695 nm. O branco foi constituído de 0,3 mL de água destilada e 3 mL de reativo. A capacidade antioxidante das amostras foram expressas em atividade antioxidante relativa (AAR) em relação ao padrão. A extração utilizando água mostrou-se bastante efetiva, uma vez que apresentou valores na ordem de 177,84 µg/mL. Esse resultado demonstra o potencial dessa PANC como fonte de antioxidante natural podendo ser aplicada para diversos fins.

ABSTRACT
Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen in the hemodialysis patient group and its colonization results in high risk of blood stream infection which increases all cause mortality in these patients. Anterior nares provide a suitable medium for these bacteria to survive and colonize. This study was conducted to check the occurrence of nasal colonization of MRSA in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis through different vascular accesses and its association with different risk factors such as diabetes, previous hospitalizations, antibiotic use and duration of hemodialysis.
This study was conducted at a dialysis center of a quaternary care hospital with a sample size of 109 involving non-probability consecutive sampling technique. All data was analyzed through SPSS version 22. p-value of <0.05 was considered significant with a confidence interval of 95%. 73% of the patients were male and 25% were diabetic. The participants were divided into different age groups The occurrence of staphylococcus aureus was found out to be 26% out of which 11% were MRSA positive and 15% were MSSA positive.
There was no significant association between the incidence of MRSA with age, gender, AV access, history of diabetes, previous hospitalizations or antibiotic use.

Published: October 2023

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and β -Thalassemia trait are two prevalent etiologies of microcytic hypochromic anemia. Pregnant women with IDA face significant risk of short-term and long-term complications for mother and newborns. The incidence of concurrent thalassaemia trait and iron deficiency was reported to be quite high but despite the high prevalence of these two conditions, the diagnosis is often underestimated and not properly managed.
OBJECTIVE; The present study was conducted to evaluate impact of iron therapy in pregnant beta thalassemia minor patients with iron deficiency anemia.
METHODS; Study Group constitutes 60 beta thalassemia trait pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) with Hb less than 11g/dl, HbA2 levels >3.5% on HPLC and low serum ferritin (<30 ng/mL).After the initial investigations, participants received iron supplementation as 60 mg elemental iron three times daily for duration of 8 weeks. After completing therapy, complete blood count and serum ferritin were performed.
RESULTS; Iron replacement therapy results in effective increment in hemoglobin, red cell indices and Serum ferritin.
CONCLUSION; Pregnant women with beta-thalassemia minor combined with IDA can receive Iron replacement therapy for improvement in Hemoglobin effectively.
Esg Score And Stock Price Synchronization In Indian Market
Authors: Maloth Raghu Ram  
Published: October 2023

Amongst the many other positive economic consequences of Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) like better financial performance, increased firm value, diminished earnings management etc., lower synchronicity of stock prices draws the special attention of researchers in the recent past. It is mainly due to increasing awareness of the retail and institutional investors on the ESG performance of the companies. The extant literature as evidenced these positive economic consequences of ESG (Gelb and Strawser, 2001, Barnea, Heinkel and Kraus, 2017, Jin, Piggott and Mitchell, 2011, Singh, Sethuraman and Lam, 2017, Eom and Nam, 2017), ESG performance of the firms makes them more resilient to markets risks leading to decrease in beta and increase in alpha values of the stocks. The studies like (Morck, Yeung and Yu, 2000) evidenced that emerging markets experience more stock price synchronicity due to higher correlation among the fundamentals of the companies. Against this backdrop, the present study makes an attempt to test the impact of ESG performance on stock price synchronicity. The study hypothesizes a negative association between ESG performance and stock price synchronicity implying that stocks with comparatively better ESG score are less vulnerable to systematic risk in the market.
The present study selects all the constituents of BSE-ESG Index as the sample from the year 2013 to 2019. The data relating to ESG scores are sourced from yahoo.finance.com and other economic variables data has been collected from CMIE prowess database. The results of the analysis revealed a significant negative impact of ESG score of the sample companies on their stock price synchronicity. The results indicate that one unit increase in ESG score results in -0.021 decrease in synchronicity. The results are in line with extant literature (Gelb & Strawser, 2001; Durnev et al., 2004). Results are robust to alternative definitions of synchronicity and ESG scores. So, it can be inferred that reporting of ESG scores of the stock improves the informational efficiency of the stocks and makes then resilient to market risks.
