description: The Nelumbo nucifera naturally contains natural drugs and its suits to alternative for chemical drug diazepam. Results from the study revealed the fact of diazepam and lotus fresh petal extract possess a hypnotic/ sedative effect. In the present study, Nelumbo nucifera fresh petal extract in three different concentrations were tested against the Guppy fish, for the potential hypnotic effect for 10 days, and it concluded that fresh petal extract of lotus possesses a valuable hypnotic effect. The Guppy Fishes were treated with fresh petal extract of lotus and diazepam powder, after an hour of exposure they were assessed for locomotory behavior. However, guppy fish was exposed to fresh petal extract of lotus. In the present study, a maximum number was observed in the diazepam (19 out of 40) exposed fish indicating the strong sedative effect of diazepam powder. Moreover, lotus fresh petal extract 500mg/L was also reported to have a higher number of non-escaped fish (17 out of 40) next to diazepam states that lotus fresh petal extract also has similar sedative/ hypnotic nature as that of diazepam.

Endorsing Cognizance about Traditional Patterns of Pakistan in Truck Art through Fashion Design for the Global Market
Creators: name: Almas F.M.
Publisher: name: gjrpublication
Year: 2024

description: In this article, we hope to explore and explore the uniqueness and uniqueness of common trucking topics and examples in Pakistan. Truck work is one of the most popular artistic activities in Pakistan, energetic and lively. The beautifully exuberant designs in multi-colored palettes create something vibrant and sophisticated that reflects the diversity of Pakistani culture. Truck builders are in their own reality, performing and communicating their work with their own passion and instinct. Advocating and raising awareness about the impact of traditional themes and examples is to present an idea that will take truck art off the streets and integrate it into lifestyle, especially in age Y. This idea will also help the general population improve their knowledge, understand and appreciate the value of traditional Pakistani themes and examples. The main goal of the modern craftsman and architect in any case is to be motivated to spread and present the living message of this artistic expression locally and throughout the planet. By integrating and applying truck components, know-how in the selection of materials and styles will also contribute to the development and improvement of traditional works of art. In addition, the article will also explore various designs that can help enhance the artistic expression of the truck, such as its batik style delivery. Attentiveness and understanding of the creativity and display of truck craftsmanship will protect the familiar social identities of the coming era of artisans, designers and truck manufacturing specialists of Pakistan. This work will also help spread the true essence of the Pakistani way of life, nation and people.

description: The present study aimed the investigation of the acetylcholinesterase, xanthine oxidase (XOD), 5-lipoxygenase, α-amylase, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of various organic extracts from seeds and pods of two Tunisian species of Acacia, A. cyclops and A. mollissima (Mimosaceae). At concentrations of 50 µg/mL, EtOAc extract of seeds from A. mollissima was able to strongly inhibit xanthine oxidase (XOD) with 98.40%. Moreover, EtOAc and n-BuOH extracts from pods of A. mollissima showed the highest inhibitor activity against 5-lipoxygenase with percentages of 79.60 and 64.86% inhibition, respectively. However, most of the tested extracts were not good acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. n-BuOH extracts of pods displayed the highest antioxidant activity (IC50= 36.03 to 45.90 µg/mL) for the DPPH assay and confirmed with the ABTS test. The eight extracts of Acacia species were tested for their cytotoxic activity in vitro using MCF-7, HCT-116, IGROV-1 and OVCAR-3 cell lines. The most active extracts were those of A. cyclops against IGROV-1 ranging from 12.9 to 16.1 µg/mL.

description: Chagas disease is caused by the intracellular parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. Approximately seven million people are infected worldwide, and more of 10,000 deaths occur annually. Due to the increase in migration from Latin America to the rest of the world, mainly the United States and Europe, Chagas disease has emerged in countries where it was unknown. The effect on the proliferation and viability of T. cruzi epimastigotes of the eight terpenes, AZ1: azorellolide, AZ2: mulinol, AZ3: stachytriol, AZ4:1α,10β,4β,5α-diepoxy-7β-germacran-6β-ol, AZ5:1β,10α,4β,5α-diepoxy-7β-germacran-6β- ol, AZ6: 1,2,3,3α,4,5,6,7,8,8α-decahydro-7-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-1,4- dimethylazulene-3α,8α-diol, AZ7: madreporanone, and AZ8: yaretol, previously isolated of the aerial parts from Azorella cryptantha were tested. The norditerpenoid yaretol inhibited epimastigotes proliferation, the IC50 value was 6.38 ± 0.47 μM, more effective than benznidazole (9.6 μM) and less cytotoxic in Vero cell line (8.87 μM) at 48 hs incubation. Studies to evaluate the effect of yaretol on other forms of the parasite are currently being performed.

description: I leaned, blank-eyed, in lonely thoughtless thought,
 Upon the night, athwart my threshold stone;
 When there came One with hurried, frightened moan,
 With tear-drained eyes, wild hair, and hands distraught,
 Who fell about my knees, and swift besought
 Help and my love, for she was all alone
 For love of me; and from her world out-thrown.
 I knew that lovely head; her hands I caught;
 For hours I felt her lips warm on my cheek,
 As through the vast void of the dark we fled.
 For precious hours her limbs in mine were curled,
 Until with utter joy I tried to speak:
 And lo! I raved with fever on my bed,
 And melancholy dawn bestirred the world.

description: Choline is an important vitamin-like compound, the deficiency of which is one of the bases of the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer's disease. Aim of the study: to evaluate the content of choline in white mistletoe leaves and to study the effect of white mistletoe leaf extract on the course of the sporadic form of Alzheimer's disease in rats. White mistletoe leaves are collected in autumn and winter from the host tree - the apple tree. The concentration of choline is measured spectrophotometrically by the changes of choline rheinecate absorbance at 400 nm. The anti- amyloid properties of the received extracts are estimated in vitro to prevent the formation of beta-amyloid aggregates. Alzheimer's disease was modeled in Wistar rats. Changes in the cognitive functions, cerebral hemodynamics, and the level of beta-amyloid and tau protein in the hippocampus of rats were observed. In mistletoe leaves collected in winter, the concentration of choline at the tendency level was higher than in leaves harvested in autumn (3.07±1.84% versus 2.88±1.03%). In vitro, extracts from white mistletoe leaves decrease aggregation of beta-amyloid plaques. In rats with experimental Alzheimer's disease, the course administration of mistletoe extracts, improve cognitive functions, increase in cerebral blood flow and a decrease in the content of beta-amyloid and tau protein in hippocampal tissues.

description: Artificial light at night (ALAN) can affect the physiology and behavior of animals because it alters the natural rhythm of light and darkness. Thyroid hormones (TH) are partially regulated by the light information of photoperiod and are involved in metabolic adjustments to daily and seasonal changes in the environment, such as larval and juvenile development, somatic growth and reproduction. ALAN can change photoperiodic information and might thereby lead to changes in thyroid metabolism, but so far research on this topic is scarce. Therefore, we tested in two different experiments the effects of nocturnal illumination at a wide range of light intensities on TH in plasma of Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis). Total 3,3′,5-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) was significantly affected by ALAN and reduced at the highest tested intensity of 100 lx after only two weeks of exposure. Although total L-thyroxine (T4) was not significantly affected, the ratio of T3 to T4 tended to slightly decrease at 100 lx. In a second low-light experiment ALAN did not have clear effects on T3, T4 or the ratio of T3 to T4 at intensities between 0.01 lx and 1 lx. The results show first signs of endocrine disruption in thyroid metabolism after a relatively short ALAN exposure of two weeks under high-intensity streetlight conditions. Misbalanced thyroidal status can have serious implications for metabolic rates as well as developmental and reproductive processes.

description: When Ben Jonson summons Shakespeare in his famous poem, "To The Memory of My Beloved the Author, Mr. William Shakespeare," and assures the late dramatist that he is "alive still while thy book doth live / And we have wits to read and praise to give," Jonson affirms an authorial presence typical of the humanist approach to Shakespeare. More tantalizingly, however, Jonson invites us to think of the book as a living object, implying that the book has its own vitality and, by extension, as much agency as the very human WIlliam Shakespeare. This essay suggests the transmedial and transcultural history of Shakespeare combats the commonly-held assumption that there is a causal logic to appropriative acts, and seeks alternative ways to account for the logical networks that shape the way Shakespeare appears - seemingly unexpected - in a variety of objects as fragments - words, ideas, characters, scenes, poetry, narrative, and so much more. The introduction looks to new materialism, object-oriented ontology, and alien phenomenology to explore the consequences of reconceptualizing Shakespeare as composed of an infinite variety of discrete objects and suggest that these fragments activate a variable and unpredictable energy that fluctuates as they encounter other objects. Without the ordering presence of the author, fragments of Shakespeare's work become agental objects, vibrant and dynamic, affective forces that spur a spectrum of appropriative uses. New materialism suggests that objects emanate their own intrinsic meaning, and accordingly, Shakespeare fragments upend theories that the driving force of the appropriation is the human user.

description: Since the turn of the twentieth-century, the presumed invisibility of craft that defines dramatic theatre erases our capacity to usefully theorize the repeated use of a popular script in performance. Lehmann's postdramatic theatre has further facilitated a segregation between performance and dramatic theatre and current critical frameworks that position staged productions as events necessarily evince a tendency to center historicism as the primary method of critical study for famous plays.This paper suggests that the unrealistic expectation placed on dramatic theatre to represent events, thoughts, and feelings as if they were happening for the first time ignores the latent celebrity power of the oft-repeated play. I wish to isolate the script as an iterative object and interrogate what can be gained by applying object theory to classical drama using Shakespeare, whose status as a literary icon often overrides his unstable theatrical origins, as my case study. Drawing from fan studies and the new materialist idea of vibrant materialism, I suggest that if we view the Shakespeare play as a vibrant, archontic object, scripted performance is not a single event, but a longer entelechial process of materialization that never concludes, but continues to grow and evolve as its own affective archive. The celebrity text, as latent with potentiality as the performing body, not only accrues value as it is repeated, but is agential in transmitting that value to the artists who engage with it.

description: We are quickly approaching the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, the 10th anniversaries of Twitch and Itch.io, and the ninth generation of video game consoles. The most successful TV/film Kickstarter of all time funded the animated series for D&D livestream Critical Role. Game Studies has existed as an interdisciplinary field for over three decades, withs its own subfields and debates.

This course will explore games as storytelling devices. We'll read academic articles, games journalism, and video reviews, and think about what makes for successful writing about games. We'll think about the new narrative frames introduced by actual plays and livestreaming. We'll think about games as transmedia phenomena, influencing and being influenced by television, film, comic books, and many other genres and modes. We'll examine representation in games: both what is depicted and who creates them. And of course, share a lot of games, big and small, with one another.

Students will gain knowledge of the field of narratology (the study of the structure of stories) and how it related to ludology (the study of actions and events in games). In an active-learning classroom and in collaboration with the new RBD Library Innovation Commons, students will apply what they learn in practice as both makers and critics. No prior technical experience or console/specific platform is required.

Class Guests included: Auburn Theatre alum and actor London Carlisle, artist/game designer Tim Hutchings, actor/writer Aabria Iyengar, critic Mx. Tiffany Leigh, scholar/designer Evan Torner, and actor/writer B. Dave Walters.

description: The present study investigated the total phenolic content, free radical scavenging activity and hepatoprotective effect of Selaginella bryopteris (SB) against acetaminophen (APAP) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced hepatotoxicity on HepG2 cell lines. The preliminary phytochemicals screening of SB aqueous and ethanolic extract confirmed the presence of phytochemical constituents and total phenolic contents. Both extracts exhibited radical scavenging activities in dose dependent manner (100-500 μg/mL). The maximum concentration (500 μg/mL) showed highest DPPH, ABTS and H2O2 free radical scavenging activity in ethanolic extract of SB followed by aqueous extract. Hepatoprotective activity was assessed by MTT assay which confirmed that SB extracts at three doses (25μg/mL, 50μg/mL and 100μg/mL) appeared to have considerable cellular protection (72- 88%) against CCl4 and APAP induced toxicity in HepG2 cell line in dose-dependent manner. At 100μg/mL, the cell viability rate was found to be higher in SB ethanolic extract compared to the aqueous extract. No adverse effect was observed in the SB treated HepG2 cell line. LDH leakage assay also confirmed that SB extract significantly reduced the level of cellular LDH leakage into the cell culture medium. The results indicate that Selaginella bryopteris extract has significant hepatoprotective activity against APAP and CCL4-inducedtoxicity which might be due to its free radical scavenging activity.

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. Nearly 44 million people across the globe are living with it. In spite of tremendous progress in understanding the pathophysiology of AD, only a few drugs have been approved by FDA to date that too provides only symptomatic relief. We have contemplated historical and religious backgrounds in addition to the literature review and concluded that polyphenolic natural products from olive oil can be used for the treatment of AD. The current computational study was designed to investigate the potential of phenolic metabolites present in olive oil to identify lead molecule(s) that could help in fighting against AD. A total of 21 phenolic compounds from olive oil were selected, and their SMILES notations were generated using Chemsketch. Cheminformatics software such as, Molinspiration to predict the bioactivity scores and physicochemical properties, PASS to predict the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition, neuroprotective, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory activities; OSIRIS for pharmacokinetic profile and toxicity and Autodock Vina for molecular docking were used for in silico studies. The results were compared with four clinically used AD drugs. All the tested compounds were predicted to possess anti-inflammatory activity (0.357-0.831 Pa score) and antioxidant activity (0.320-0.903 Pa values), but none of the compounds was found to be a butyrylcholinesterase inhibitor. Out of 21 initial polyphenolic compounds, we selected the best two bioactive compounds, luteolin and elenolic acid, based on their bioactivity and toxicity profile. Luteolin showed the most stable binding to both beta-secretase- 1 (BACE) and AChE enzymes followed by elenolic acid. It is concluded that luteolin and elenolic acid are the most potent polyphenolic compounds of the olive, which act at multiple targets in AD pathogenesis. These compounds hold promise for the development of anti-Alzheimer's therapy.

Subjects: Antibacterial activity; Antibiotic resistance; Honey.

description: With the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains around the world, studies are starting to look at the therapeutic benefits of certain natural products. Honey is one of these most coveted products because of its therapeutic properties. In this context, the aim of this systematic review is to explore the current scientific literature on the antibacterial activity of honey on some bacterial strains known to be resistant to antibiotics. Our results confirmed the antibacterial activity of honeys, produced in different countries, on the bacterial strains tested. The antibacterial tests showed differences in inhibition depending on the type of honey used and the bacterial strains targeted, indicating a broad spectrum of antibacterial action of honey. This natural product could be used alone or in combination with antibiotics, which have become ineffective against a set of resistant bacterial strains.

Subjects: Bacteria, Docking, Eucalyptus oil, eucalyptol, Herbal Drug

description: Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is of worldwide concern. PBP (Penicillin binding proteins) have recently been regarded as a suitable target for drug design. The present in silico docking study was designed to evaluate the effect of potent bioactive molecule eucalyptol present in essential oils of eucalyptus plant leaves against PBP4 protein. Till date there is no work is undertaken on in-silico analysis of this compounds against PBP4 of bacteria. In the present study, GC-FID (gas chromatography with flame-ionization detection) based chemical profile, molecular docking studies were conducted by using Patchdock analysis. Protein Interactions Calculator was used for protein interactions. GC-FID revealed eucalyptol as major compound in eucalyptus oil. The calculated parameters such as docking score indicated effective binding of eucalyptol to PBP4. Interactions results indicated that, PBP4 / eucalyptol complexes forms hydrogen and hydrophobic interactions. Wet lab study validated the anti-bacterial potential of oil against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, essential oil from eucalyptus plant may represent potential herbal treatment to mitigate bacterial infections.

description: With the aim of looking for alternatives to chemicals being used in the aquaculture, food industry, nutraceutical and medicinal industries which are responsible for environmental degradation in one way or another, the present study has been done to investigate the phytochemical composition of apricot, Prunus armeniaca kernel extracted with methanol collected from Kargil, Ladakh (India). Apricot kernels were analysed for their proximate nutritional properties, qualitative and quantitative phytochemistry and antioxidant properties. GC-MS and FT-IR analysis were employed to identify the various secondary compounds and their functional groups present in the extract. The results revealed apricot kernel possesses 20.61% crude protein and 56.08% crude fat composed mainly of unsaturated fatty acids which is indicative of its rich nutritional, nutraceutical and medicinal properties. The qualitative phytochemical screening showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phytoestrogens, glycosides and phenolic compounds, while the quantitative phytochemistry results showed total phenolics (63.56931 ± 1.686 mg/100 g GAE) and total flavonoids (176.51 ± 3.396 mg/100 g QE) present in the extract. Free radical scavenging activity by the DPPH scavenging method also showed a good antioxidant property of the extract. A total of 7 compounds were identified by GC-MS analysis with Pentadecanoic acid, 14-methyl-, methyl ester (5.07%), trans-13-Octadecenoic acid, methyl ester (78.44%) and 10-Methyleicosane (10.93%) being the major compounds. The FT-IR spectrum revealed the presence of amines, alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, phenol, esters and carboxylic acids.

description: Terminalia bellerica which is also known as baheda or bahera it is one of the most deciduous trees in the Combretaceae family. It is used for preparation of triphala, an Indian herb. The present study was aimed to compare phytochemicals, antimicrobial activity and antidiabetic activity activities in pulp, seed and seedcoat of T. bellerica collected from Mohali, Punjab. Extract of different solvents, viz., hexane, methanol and aqueous were prepared using cold maceration method. Preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of most of the phytochemicals in all the parts, however, alkaloids were absent in all solvent extracts of seeds. Phenols were found to be absent in hexane extract of pulp and seed. Total phenolic content was found to be highest in aqueous extract of seed coat (154.22±2.33 mg/g GAE) and methanol extract of seed (119.06±6.65 mg/g GAE). Among all extracts, methanolic extract of seed coat showed lowest MIC (3.125 µg/ml) against both tested gram-positive bacteria (B. subtilis, and S. aureus), while, methanolic pulp extract was found to be more effective against K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa with MIC of 3.125 µg/ml. Hexane extract of pulp showed higher inhibitory activity against E. coli with least MIC (3.125 µg/ml). Aqueous extract of seed coat showed strong in vitro anti-diabetic activity with IC50 value of 3.92 µg/ml as compared to that of standard drug, metformin (14.5 µg/ml). The results of the present study showed therapeutic applications of seed coat of T. bellerica fruits. However, further studies need to isolate the phytocompounds responsible for their biological activities.
