The LD50 of the interface portion of ethyl acetate and n-hexane extract from antidiabetic Anogeissus leiocarpus stem bark was greater than 2000mg/kg.bd.wt., with a wide range of safety value. In addition it caused no death 24hours and thereafter and had no effects on pregnancy, gestation, parturition, reproductive performance with no teratogenic effects on pups of Wistar-rats. This led to investigation of the effects of the extract on ovarian functions of adult female Wistar-rats but strategically optimized to obtain appropriate therapeutic hypoglycaemic-dose.
On day 0, 20 adult-female Wistar-rats weighing between 155 and 235 g were separated, at random, into 4 cages (A-D) of 5 rats each, unadministered A (normal control), administered B (5 mg/kg.bd.wt.), C (10 mg/kg.bd.wt.) and D (20 mg/kg.bd.wt.); to each group, an adult male Wistar-rat was added. They were on feeds (superstarter chow) and water ad libitum. Groups B and C were reduced to 4 rats each due to exclusion criteria. On day0, baseline parameters, were collected from all rats. Thereafter, from day0 to day12, each female rat received the optimized dose of the interface and samples were collected for random blood glucose (RBG), vaginal cytology and assay for oestrogen and progesterone. Blood samples were collected after day 12 for clinical biochemistry analyses.
At day 1, mean RBG values were significantly (P<0.05) higher (129.5±57.7 mg/dl) in group B than values of groups A,C&D which were 99.0±13.2, 101.8±3.2 and 102.0±11.9 mg/dl, respectively.
From days 2 to 12, the mean RBG values significantly (P<0.05) decreased to 98.3±15.6 in group B. The mean bodyweights of group B decreased from day 2 to14. In group D, mean values of body weights equally decreased on day14, but after increase on day7
Conclusion: Daily administration of 5 mg/kg/bd.wt. of the extract (interface) of A. leiocarpus stem-bark is therapeutically hypoglycaemic as it reduced RBG significantly (P<0.05) up to day12. The clinical application of lower doses is suggested to maintain normoglycaemia for a while after “crashing” down the hyperglycaemia of DM with a much higher dose. The shelf-life of extract (interface) of A. leiocarpus stem bark is greater than 17 months, when stored at room temperature

Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam bentuk percobaan dengan menggunakan rancangan lingkungan yang disesuaikan dengan prosedur Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK), yang terdiri atas 6 perlakuan varietas cabai yaitu Dewata F1, Laris, Bara, TM Rawit, Cakra putih, dan Sret. Tanaman sampel dipilih secara purposive sampling yaitu memilih 4 tanaman cabai yang memiliki pertumbuhan dan pembuahan yang seragam. Buah yang menunjukkan gejala serangan lalat buah Bactrocera dorsalis pada tanaman sampel dihitung, disortir berdasarkan varietas, dan dimasukkan ke dalam kantong plastik untuk dibawa ke laboratorium. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan pengamatan terhadap populasi pupa dan imago lalat buah, persentase pupa yang berkembang menjadi imago, dan lama hidup imago. Hasil pengamatan populasi pupa dan imago, diperoleh rata-rata populasi tertinggi pada varietas Sret (3,84 ekor per buah), dan terendah pada varietas Bara (2,75 ekor per buah) dan Dewata F1 (2,62 ekor per buah), sedangkan persentase pupa menjadi imago dan lama hidup terendah diperoleh varietas TM Rawit (20,90%) dengan lama hidup 1,80 hari dan varietas Bara (30,20%) dengan lama hidup 1,40 hari dan persentase tertinggi pada varietas Laris sebesar 70,61% dan lama hidup 6,00 hari. Dengan demikian, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa cabai yang tahan terhadap B. dorsalis adalah varietas Bara dan TM Rawit, sedangkan cabai yang rentan adalah varietas Laris. Informasi ini sangat bermanfaat khususnya bagi petani di Sulawesi Selatan dalam mengelola cabai di lapangan.
El debido proceso en el Estado administrativo, ¿Cómo se garantiza desde la principialística?
Authors: Ospina Grisales Carlos Alberto 
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo plantea el problema de cómo adaptar la doctrina del debido proceso a las nuevas situaciones que se presentan por las acciones de los agentes del Estado. Por ello se parte de la idea de que el debido proceso se ocupa esencialmente de la equidad procesal en el Estado administrativo, por loque las actuaciones de sus agentes deben ser enmarcadas desde la principialística a través de los principios de obediencia a la regla y procedimientos mínimos. Asimismo, el derecho administrativo debe adoptar la distinción específica entre reglas y adjudicación como límite requerido en el ámbito de aplicación del debido proceso. Como este artículo sugiere, en conclusión, estos enfoques producirían una doctrina más coherente sobre las garantías procesales en el derecho administrativo.

Published: December 2023

São analisadas algumas hipóteses interpretativas recentes, que tentam organizar os relatos de viagem (apólogoi) de Odisseu, de acordo com esboços de leitura simétricos e circulares. Enquanto a busca do esquematismo estrutural na sequência novelística dos "apólogoi" homéricos (Odisseia, V-XII) parece estimulante e suscetível de interessante progresso heurístico, critica-se a tendência, muito difundida no mundo da comunicação mediática, a se descobrir teorias geográficas e pseudo-históricas sempre novas acerca da localização dos lugares atingidos por Odisseu em suas viagens pelo Mediterrâneo.

No âmbito do debate sobre a relação entre tragédia e política, são analisados alguns aspectos relativos ao poder na tragédia de Sófocles. Em Ájax, Antígona e Édipo Rei são estudadas manifestações do poder real que seriam abusivas e se discutem as instâncias que as limitam. Essas questões levam a uma avaliação da vitalidade de práticas antigas como o juramento e o código de reciprocidade, o que orienta um novo debate acerca das correspondências entre a tragédia e a vida política de Atenas que lhe é contemporânea.

Published: December 2023

Abstract

Objective
The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program is less implemented in gastric cancer patients. The purpose of this survey is to investigate the implementation status of ERAS in perioperative period in gastric cancer.

Methods
This clinical observational study enrolled 329 patients between January 2020 and August 2020 in a single gastric cancer center. The questionnaire consisted of 4 parts: basic information, preoperative status, intraoperative status, and postoperative status of ERAS implementation in gastric cancer surgery.

Results
In the preoperative period, patients’ education and counseling (100%) were well adopted. Smoking cessation (34.6%), drinking cessation (36.9%), avoidance of preoperative mechanical bowel preparation (24.3%), respiratory function training (11.2%), and administration of carbohydrate-rich drink before surgery (0.6%) were relatively not well adopted. During the operation, maintenance of intraoperative normothermia and fluid management (100%), as well as epidural analgesia (81.5%), were well adopted. Thromboprophylaxis was performed in 133 (40.4%) patients. In the postoperative period, early active mobilization was implemented about 9.5 h, and early ambulation was implemented about 39.5 h, after surgery. A total of 140 (42.5%) patients received prolonged prophylactic antibiotics; 268 (81.5%) patients were provided diet upon gas passage; and 320 (97.3%) patients received intravenous fluid administration more than 5 d after surgery. The practice rate of early removal of urinary catheter (0%) and nasogastric tube (15.5%) was relatively low. A total of 11 (3.3%) patients experienced postoperative complication, and 1 (0.3%) patient received unplanned reoperation. The average costs were ¥59,500, and the average hospital stay was 12 (5, 36) d.

Conclusions
Standard perioperative management of ERAS program in gastric cancer surgery in China still requires improvement.

Published: December 2023

Abstract

Objective
To examine physical activity (PA) of post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients and explore the demographic, clinical, and social psychological characteristics associated with PA levels.

Methods
A total of 246 post-PCI patients from the Peking University Third Hospital in Beijing, China, were included in this crosssectional study through convenience sampling. Data were collected from a self-reported questionnaire. PA was categorized into low, moderate, or high levels. The ordinal multinomial logistic regression model was used to estimate the relationship among demographic, medical, and psychosocial characteristics.

Results
The overall prevalence of low, moderate, and high PA was 20%, 70%, and 10%, respectively. For the domain-specific PA patterns, most participants took part in leisure-time PA (84.5%); walking was the most common PA. Increased motivation and selfefficacy, lower monthly income, and unemployment were predictors of high PA.

Conclusions
PA levels in post-PCI patients was not optimal, and leisure-time PA had the highest participation rate. Analyses of influencing factors can provide medical staff and health workers information to focus on high-risk groups and introduce more tailored interventions. Future studies can explore more regions, and ecological models can be introduced to study more influencing factors.

Abstract
The development of technology is changing and transforming business models in the production and service sectors around the world. Especially in this age when the fourth industrial revolution is effective with different instruments such as artificial intelligence, internet of things, and cyber physical systems, the necessity of physical presence of people in the workplaces is gradually decreasing. Like many things developed in the virtual world, the virtual arrangement of workplaces is a very innovative undertaking. It is clear that the advantage of time and cost are the main reasons for the positive reception of the idea of workplace design in the metaverse environment. In this article, the criteria for workplace design in the metaverse environment of a company operating in the IT sector were examined and alternative metaverse platforms for workplace design using these criteria were evaluated. CoCoSo method based on the Interval Type-2 q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets is used in making the evaluations. Among the 6 criteria seen as important in the study, privacy and security, size and scale, and functionality were the three most important criteria. Among the alternative platforms evaluated, Rooom and Voxels are the first two platforms to be preferred.
Social commerce constructs and purchase intention on social commerce sites: investigating the role of affective and cognitive attitudes in managing digital marketing challenges

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Literature on the sequence of relationships between social commerce constructs, attitudes, and behaviors is disputed. According to earlier scholars, behavior is followed by attitude, conversely, recent evidence suggests a slight relationship. To explore this phenomenon in digital marketing, the aim of the current study is twofold: to examine a parallel mediation of cognitive and affective attitudes between social commerce constructs and purchase intention followed by sequential meditation of cognitive and affective attitudes in the relationship between social commerce constructs and purchase intention. Data for the study was collected using Google Forms from individuals who have used social commerce sites for making purchases over the last six months. The hypothesized model was analyzed using PROCESS macro. The finding of the study revealed that the composite influence of Social Commerce Constructs (SCCs) on online Purchase decisions is significant. Interestingly, our empirical findings support the view of recent scholars that behavior in the social commerce context is not followed by attitude but the cumulative relationship is significant and small. In parallel mediation, the mediation effect of affective attitude between SCCs and purchase intention is considerable. This finding indicates that to grab the attention of current and prospective customers in the era of digital marketing, marketers must focus on emotional content in online reviews.
