Abstract
Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is a Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) rich fruit. Its production is quite high in Bangladesh but post-harvest life is very short. Farmers will benefited by producing different guava products like juice, jelly etc. and selling them to market for year round. The current study has been carried out to observe the nutritional composition of fresh guava, guava juice, and jelly for nutritive jelly production. Shelf life and sensory evaluation of guava and guava jelly were also evaluated. Fresh green guava of four varieties (Swarupkathi Peyera, Kazi Peyera, BAU-2 Peyera and BAU-19 Peyera) were collected from the Germplasm Center, Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU), Bangladesh. The shelf-life (mean value) of fresh Guava, Guava juice, and Jelly were about 11, 9, and 142 days in ambient condition; 24, 30, and 213 days in refrigerated condition; and 42, 142, and 325 days in freezing condition, respectively. Kazi Peyara confined the highest percentage of ascorbic acid (195.59 mg/100g FW), total sugar (10.65 % FW), calcium (17.45 mg/100g), and phosphorus (34.63 mg/100g). However, BAU-19 Peyara contains the highest percentage of magnesium (20.15 mg/100g) and BAU-2 Peyara contains the highest percentage of potassium (392.1 mg/100g). The mean ascorbic acid content in guava juice (29.23 mg/100ml) and jelly (17.65 mg/100gm) were significantly lower compared to the fresh guava (192.77 mg/100gm) and also the ascorbic acid loss during storage was significant. The average score of different sensory parameters for fresh guava and guava Jelly were within the standard range. From the results, it can be concluded that guava is a good source of nutrients and quality jelly could be prepared from it.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of recycled aggregate (RA) and sea sand (SS) replacement on fly ash (FA) slag-based geopolymer concrete (GPC). An orthogonal array design is employed to obtain the optimum mix proportions, and geopolymer mixes are prepared using slag percentages of 10%, 20%, and 30% slag in FA/slag-based GPC. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution is prepared at three concentrations (8 mol/L, 12 mol/L, and 16 mol/L). The mechanical properties of the geopolymer mixes are determined based on the tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength, and elastic modulus. GPC is prepared using water-binder ratios of 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of RA replacement. The results showed that the variation in the RA replacement ratio had little effect on the strength and elastic modulus of sea sand geopolymer concrete (SS–GPC), but it had a significant effect on river sand geopolymer concrete (RS–GPC). The RA replacement ratio also showed a noticeable change in the damage surface of the specimens. In addition, SS hinders the hydration reaction of the geopolymer in the early stage and reduces the early strength of the GPC; however, in the later stages, the effect becomes insignificant.

Abstract

Objectives
The pan-European BENEFIT study of patients with stable rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) who transitioned from reference etanercept to SB4 found no clinically meaningful changes in disease control after transition. The analysis aims to illustrate the peculiarities of the Italian cohort of patients compared with the whole population to provide a more real-life approach to the data for the Italian rheumatologists, ruling out possible local confounding factors.

Methods
A prospective study for up to 6 months following transition was conducted. Outcome measures of interest include clinical characteristics at time of transition and disease activity scores (Disease Activity Score-28 [DAS28] for RA, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index [BASDAI] for axSpA) over time and safety.

Results
One-hundred and eleven subjects (out of the 557 in total enrolled in the study) were derived from 8 Italian sites, including 79 with RA and 32 with axSpA. In both cohorts, the efficacy was maintained at 3 months and 6 months from the transition to the biosimilar with no significant change in mean DAS28 and BASDAI scores: at the end of the 6 months of observation the mean DAS28 and BASDAI was similar to baseline (confidence interval [CI] −0.22, 0.22), while the mean variation of the BASDAI was −0.14. Of note, 100.0% (95% CI 89.1, 100.0) in the axSpA and 90.8% (95% CI 81.5, 95.5) in the RA cohort of patients continued to receive SB4 at month 6 (binary variable with 95% Clopper-Pearson CI).

Conclusions
Italian patients with stable RA or axSpA who transitioned from originator Etanercept to SB4 maintained clinical response at 6 months post-transition. Both the cohorts are representative of typical patients with long-standing established diagnoses. Most of the patients transitioned to the same dose regimen of biosimilar as that received for the originator, and the regimen remained unchanged at 6 months, supporting the effectiveness of the transition.

Abstract
Тhis study aimed at exploring vitamin D levels in treated depressive patients in comparison to healthy individuals. The cross-sectional study included 20 ambulatory and inpatients with depressive episodes taking antidepressants and 30 healthy individuals. The serum concentration of 25(OH)D from collected blood samples was determined using biochemical analyzers. Serum 25(OH)D levels (ng/mL) in patients were significantly lower (the mean 13.1, standard deviation 7.3, median 11.4, minimal 3.8, maximal 35.9) then in control subjects (19.4, 9.1, 15.8, 7.6, 43.6) (p=0.004). Additional targeted research is needed because some lifestyle and dietary habits which are known to influence vitamin D status may confound observed effects.

Bank Efficiency and Oil Price Volatility: A View from the GCC Countries
Authors: Jreisat Ammar , Al-Mohamad Somar 
Published: April 2022

The study investigates the banks' efficiency in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries' members (GCC). The efficiency of the banking sector is a cornerstone in the financial development of a country. It has also become a prominent label in both economic and financial lexicons due to the lucid importance of the financial intermediation function it provides. The banking industry is considered the backbone of the financial system in oil exporting countries of the GCC region. In general, the advancement and stability of the banking sector are inextricably related to the total economic output as measured by the GDP and to the stability of the financial system in particular. This study aims to evaluate how efficient banking is in the six countries of the GCC bloc, and to assess the effect of the oil price shock in 2014 on the bank’s efficiency in these countries. This study employs the 2-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology for this aim. This model assigns efficiency scores for GCC banks over a period of time from 2008 to 2016 in the first stage. The second stage of the model regresses the aforementioned efficiency scores against a variety of financial and macroeconomic variables to depict the main determinants of bank efficiency and to assess the banking sector's resilience to global shocks as well as to macroeconomic conditions. The empirical outcomes of this study indicate that the global financial crisis (GFC) in 2008 and the oil price shock in 2014 had a significant negative impact on the efficiency scores of the GCC banks. The findings also show that domestic macroeconomic indicators have a greater impact on bank efficiency than institutional or bank-specific variables.JEL Classifications: E6, E44, Q4, G21 Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2022-06-03-07 Full Text: PDF
