Yoga concept in Sri Guru Granth Sahib teachings
Authors: Kaur Gurneet , Gowda Paran 
Published: January 2022

Introduction:
Sri Guru Granth Sahib (SGGS) or Adi Granth is the main Sikh scripture. The SGGS promote principles of liberty and impartiality to pursue the way to the Guru following the path of peace and prosperity. The Sikh code of conduct is known as Sikh Rehat Maryada. The code is an outline of the mandates of daily routine followed by every Sikh. It stipulates philosophy and mandates, according to the teachings of Sikhism's 10 gurus. The studies show the relationship between SGGS and Yoga. In SGGS the first phrase, the Mool mantra, starts with the idiom, Ek Onkar (AUM). The primary goal of SGGS is to achieve union with God by constantly remembering God's name. Practice is oriented around three “golden rules.” Guru Nanak also hinted in his hymns about these chakras. Guru had talked about the Naval Lotus. In the heart (with the blooming of lotus), he has seen the Lord whose knowledge is spoken of as unfathomable. The way of the blooming of this lotus is described by Guru Nanak by saying that when with the help of “Guru-Sabad,” the heart lotus blooms and fills with nectar which makes one contented. The need of the conceptual frame arises due to lack of scientific understanding of SGGS.

Methodology:
Scale development is a systematic process that is carried out at different stages of analysis. Following recommendations of DeVellis RF and Pasqual L scale development for the present study was accomplished in three stages namely item generation, theoretical analysis, and psychometric analysis the 30 items developed after content validity testing and cognitive interviews with select respondents.

Results and Conclusion:
Conceptual framework is developed through the Yogic teachings from SGGS versus Patanjali Yoga Sutra.

Published: January 2022

Context:
Significant psychological morbidity with stress, depression, and anxiety has been reported in head-and-neck cancer (HNC) patients undergoing curative treatment. Failure to detect and treat psychological distress affects the outcomes of cancer therapies and decreases patients' quality of life (QoL). Studies have reported the benefits of yoga for anxiety, symptom severity, and distress in cancer patients.

Aims:
To identify the effects of yoga therapy on psychological distress and QoL in HNC patients undergoing radiotherapy.

Settings and Design:
Single-group, pretest posttest study in a clinical setting.

Subjects and Methods:
Psycho-Oncology Assessment Questionnaire, Distress Thermometer, European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 version 3.0, and EORTC QLQ-H&N35 questionnaires were administered to HNC patients (n = 22) before and after yoga intervention during 6 weeks of radiotherapy. The yoga intervention included loosening practices, asana, pranayama, and meditation.

Statistical Analysis:
Data were analyzed in statistical software - STATA, version 10.1 (2011).

Results:
Significant reduction in psychological distress (p = 0.0001) and improvement in the QoL (p = 0.0001) was observed. Significant improvement in physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and role functioning (p = 0.0001) was observed. Significant reduction in QLQ-C30 symptom subscale scores of insomnia, pain, appetite loss, and fatigue (p = 0.0001) was observed. Significant reduction in H&N35 symptom subscale scores related to swallowing, opening the mouth (p = 0.0001), trouble with social eating, trouble with social contact, and felt ill (p < 0.05) was observed.

Conclusion:
Yoga therapy intervention significantly reduced the psychological distress, improved the QoL, improved functions, and reduced symptoms in HNC patients undergoing radiotherapy. Further validation is required by conducting randomized controlled trials with a larger sample size.

Published: January 2022

The genus Ficus is an important genetic resource due to its high economic and nutritional values. It is also an important part of biodiversity in the rainforest ecosystem. The leaf shape is variable, even among the leaves on the same tree and such characters as acuminate tips and cordate bases are seldom constant. The research was aimed to determined the morphological characteristics of leaves from eight different Ficus species found in Zaria in wet and dry season. Macromorphological characters such as leaf type, leaf shape, leaf apex, leaf margin, leaf arrangement and leaf base were examined. Macromorphological characters show leaf arrangement to be alternate in all the species. The leaf apexes are acute, obtuse and Acuminate, with leaf base been cordate and obtuse, having a leaf margin of serrate, entire and scalloped, with the shapes of the leaf cordate, ovate and elliptic. Quantitative examination of the foliar characteristics in both wet and dry season showed a significant difference in the leaf number among all the species except for Ficus reliogosa, Ficus capensis and Ficus elastica having P values 0.938, 0.963 and 0.873 respectively. Leaf length also varies significantly among all species except for Ficus reliogosa, Ficus polita, F. platyphylla and F. natalensis while leaflet width also varies significantly among all the species except for Ficus platyphylla. Petiole length was also significant among the species except for Ficus elastica (P value 0.417) The findings from this research revealed that the macromorphological characteristics of Ficus species in Zaria during wet and dry season indicate a significant variation across species.

Nuclear protein 1 promotes unfolded protein response during endoplasmic reticulum stress, and alleviates apoptosis induced by cisplatin in non-small cell lung cancer cells
Authors: Sun Yinhui , Wang Lihuai , Deng Changqing , Liu Hua , Guo Zhongcong , Chang Zelin , Mo Jianxiong 
Published: January 2022

Purpose: To investigate the role of nuclear protein 1 (NUPR1) in the drug resistance of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its regulatory mechanisms.
Methods: Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and immunoblot assays were conducted to determine NUPR1 expression in A549 cells. Cisplatin sensitivity and cisplatin-induced apoptosis were investigated in NUPR1 knockdown or overexpressed cells via 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and flow cytometry. The potential association between unfolded protein response (UPR) and NUPR1 levels in response to cisplatin were explored. The effect of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress on apoptosis was examined using flow cytometry.
Results: Cisplatin treatment promoted the expression of NUPR1 in NSCLC cells. NUPR1 regulated cisplatin resistance in NSCLC and also regulated UPR in ER stress induced by cisplatin. The results show NUPR1 regulated apoptosis induced by ER stress following tunicamycin treatment.
Conclusion: NSCLC cells may promote the UPR in ER stress by promoting the expression of NUPR1, thereby reducing the ER stress induced by cisplatin.
Assessment of Seasonal Variations in Forage Quality in Saanane Island National Park, Mwanza, Tanzania
Authors: Sangu George M. , Nahonyo Cuthbert L. 
Published: January 2022

Seasonal variations in proteins, vitamin A, vitamin C, carbohydrates and minerals (Ca, Fe, Na, K and P) for seven most grazed and four most browsed plant species were assessed using laboratory analysis to determine what nutrient resources were available to grazers and browsers inhabiting the Saanane Island. The results indicated great seasonal variations in proteins, vitamin A, vitamin C and carbohydrates which were statistically significant with P < 0.01, F 3.444 at DF 5. Similarly, the minerals (Ca, Fe, Na, K and P) showed greater seasonal variations with K and P being higher during wet season, while Na and Fe were higher in dry season. The levels of proteins, vitamins, fibres and minerals were well above daily dietary requirements for grazers and browsers. These results suggested that both grazers and browsers were benefiting from seasonal differences in terms of available resources at disposal as animal health is regulated by levels of proteins and vitamins available in grazing and browsing materials.

Published: January 2022

The current research aimed at using the application of multi-factor models to support fisheries management decisions for successful resources’ conservation. The study was based on the tilapia species Coptodon guineensis, which is among the most widely exploited in Benin coastal zone. In an attempt to suggest conservation strategies, the phenotypic variability of 356 accessions of this species was assessed in relation with water salinity, and several interactions. The fish were collected through small-scale experimental fishing using cast nets and gillnets. The findings indicated that the salinity observed in the sampled rivers is due, at proportions ranging from 0.13% to 47%, to the sea surface salinity (SSS) of the Atlantic Ocean, suggesting a leading inland origin of the salinity of these rivers. The evidence also showed that the tilapia populations have been relatively adapted to the increasing water salinity of the sampled rivers. The fish species*river type and fish species*fish sex interactions had significant effects on phenotypic characteristics rather than river type*fish sex interaction. For an efficient conservation of these populations, two conservation areas (Lake Nokoué and Porto-Novo lagoon vs Lake Toho and Grand-Popo lagoon), could be considered for this tilapia species.
Keywords: Aquatic salinization, population adaptation, growth parameters, interaction patterns

This paper uses Hamdija Kapidžić’s study Bosna i Hercegovina u vrijeme
austrougarske vladavine (članci i rasprave) [hereinafter: Bosnia and Herzegovina in the
Austro-Hungarian period (Articles and Discussions)] in order to question the way in which
the socialist historiography of Bosnia and Herzegovina observed the Yugoslav unification
in 1918, and the extent to which historical revisionism was present in that approach. The
analysis focuses on the scientific profile of researchers, relevance of sources, the connection
between the source and the conclusion for the purpose of determining the extent to which
Kapidžić’s theses are scientifically founded and the extent to which they were a product of
