Isolation and Evaluation of Mucilage of Adansonia digitata Linn as a Suspending Agent

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Natural excipients can serve as alternative to synthetic products because of local accessibility, biodegradability, eco-friendly nature and cost effectiveness as compared to synthetic products. Therefore, it is a current need to explore natural excipients that can be used as an effective alternative excipient for the formulation of pharmaceutical dosage forms. Adansonia digitata (Malvaceae) has been traditionally used as febrifuge, antiasthmatic and also in the treatment of dysentery, smallpox, and measles. Reports have indicated that mucilage of the leaves of the plant is edible and nontoxic; hence, the present study is an attempt of isolation and evaluation of mucilage obtained from leaves of Adansonia digitata as suspending agent. Various physicochemical as well as suspending agent properties of mucilage were studied. Mucilage obtained from leaves has shown comparable results with sodium carboxy methyl cellulose.

Mapping Of Consumption Of Green Products For Urban Society Denpasar City

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

One of the points of the 2030 sustainable development goals is to ensure sustainable production and consumption patterns. One strategy that can be used is to consume food and non-food based on pro-environment (green product). This study aims to determine how the consumption pattern of green products from urban communities in Denpasar City. What are the internal and external factors that encourage urban communities in the city of Denpasar to consume green products? The analysis used in this research is descriptive analysis which is useful for looking at the average, cross tabulation of demographic factors, internal and external factors with the choice of consuming green products from the urban community of Denpasar. The results of the study stated that the factors that became the basis for people to consume green products were 1) the desire to adopt a more environmentally friendly lifestyle, 2) health factors, 3) better quality of goods, and 4) following trends. Types of Green Products consumed by respondents include: eco bags, drinking water bottles, straws, tablespoons, bath soap, organic vegetables and fruits, lunch boxes, snacks, cosmetics, and mineral water. Public awareness of the city of Denpasar is becoming a trend in the implementation of achieving sustainable development goals.
Effect of Dispersion of Nanosize Platinum Particles on Electrical Conduction Properties of Proton-Conducting Oxide SrZr[sub 0.9]Y[sub 0.1]O[sub 3−α]

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Nanosize effects have gradually become emphasized in the description of ion conduction properties of solids. The authors demonstrate a nanoionics effect that occurs in a proton-conducting perovskite upon dispersing fine platinum particles in the oxide. Both the ionic and hole conductivities are lost when the volume fraction of dispersed platinum exceeds a threshold value, resulting in an enormous reduction in both conductivities. These experimental results are discussed in accordance with a percolation model: the boundary layer, where charge carriers are suppressed by a space charge layer effect, blocks the bulk conduction of both protonic and electron-hole charge carriers.

The Statehood of Palestine

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Palestine as a territorial entity has experienced a curious history. Until World War I, Palestine was part of the sprawling Ottoman Empire. After the war, Palestine came under the administration of Great Britain by an arrangement with the League of Nations. In 1948 Israel established itself in part of Palestine's territory, and Egypt and Jordan assumed administration of the remainder. By 1967 Israel took control of the sectors administered by Egypt and Jordan and by 1988 Palestine reasserted itself as a state. Recent years saw the international community acknowledging Palestinian statehood as it promotes the goal of two independent states, Israel and Palestine, co-existing peacefully. This book draws on evidence from the 1924 League of Nations mandate to suggest that Palestine was constituted as a state at that time. Palestine remained a state after 1948, even as its territory underwent permutation, and this book provides a detailed account of how Palestine has been recognized until the present day.
Radiation therapy in treatment of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva: a case report and review of the literature [Radioterapija u liječenju progresivne osificirajuće fibrodisplazije: prikaz slučaja i pregled literature]

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an extremely rare genetic disorder with diffuse extra-skeletal bone formation. The genetic mutation responsible for FOP has recently been discovered and is connected with excessive activation of bone morphogenetic protein receptor. This disease usually begins with typical ossification pattern in early childhood, causing increasing disability and making patients totally disabled by the age of 30. Ectopic ossification develops spontaneously and can be triggered by any trauma and even intramuscular injections. The symptoms of FOP are often misdiagnosed as cancer, causing unnecessary biopsies, which can precipitate further progressive heterotopic ossification. There is no effective treatment for this severe condition. Radiotherapy can be helpful in impeding ossification, although the strict evidence for that is lacking. There are only two reports in the literature referring to the use of radiotherapy in treatment of FOP. Herein, we present a 35-year-old patient successfully treated with small doses of fractionated radiotherapy in several courses. This case indicates that radiotherapy can be useful in treating patients with FOP.
SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE MATERIALS- 4 R STRATEGY (REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE AND REBUY)

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Waste from construction and demolition (C&D) falls under a subcategory with a low rate of material diversion and a wide range of possible uses for waste materials. The recycled materials have enough strength to be taken into consideration for reapplication in the construction sector. The present waste management system in India has been examined, and the barriers to completing the consumption loop and creating markets for recycled materials have also been tested as part of a study project. Waste reduction would be the waste minimization approach most frequently used in the context of the 4R concept. This shows that the local construction industry has the knowledge required to design the processes involved in waste management, but the execution is still far from ideal. Profits drive the market, and they also encourage building experts to embrace innovative practices.
Management of Contracting Public Services and its Quality in Slovakia

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Contracting services in the public sector with private for-profit and non-profit firms is one of the most prevalent types of alternative service-delivering arrangements. Concerning the positive potential of contracting, the relevant literature proposes that contracting may, but need not, improve individual choice, cost-effectiveness and the quality of delivery, equity and to some extent also expenditure control. On the other hand, many authors provide important arguments describing weak points of contracting and some risks connected with contracting services in the public sector. The main “internal” reason why contracting does not produce the expected results and even creates perverse effects in the effectiveness and quality of contracted services, is the improper implementation of contract management. This paper seeks to answer the question of what factors account for success in contracting for services in the public sector by testing the relationship between contracting performance and selected factors connected with contract management such as competition, exante evaluation of bidders, contract monitoring, contract duration, contract payment and joint problem solving and communication between the principal and the agent. This study uses a quantitative approach to investigate the research question and to analyze the original collected survey data from our own research. The research was supported by the Czech Grant Agency projects P403 / 12 / 0366 and P403 / 10 / 1892

A Unique 33-kD Cysteine Proteinase Accumulates in Response to Larval Feeding in Maize Genotypes Resistant to Fall Armyworm and Other Lepidoptera

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Plants respond to insect feeding with a number of defense mechanisms. Using maize genotypes derived from Antiquan germ plasm that are resistant to Lepidoptera, we have demonstrated that a unique 33-kD cysteine proteinase accumulates in the whorl in response to larval feeding. The abundance of the proteinase increased dramatically at the site of larval feeding after 1 hr of infestation and continued to accumulate for as long as 7 days. The 33-kD cysteine proteinase was most abundant in the yellow-green portion of the whorl-the normal site of larval feeding and the tissue that has the greatest inhibitory effect on larval growth in bioassays. The proteinase was expressed in response to wounding and was found in senescent leaves. It may be a marker of programmed cell death. The gene coding for the proteinase, mir1, has been transformed into Black Mexican Sweet callus. When larvae were reared on callus expressing the proteinase, their growth was inhibited approximately 60 to 80%. The expression of a cysteine proteinase, instead of a cysteine proteinase inhibitor, may be a novel insect defense mechanism in plants.
Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis in Chinese Chenghua and Yorkshire pigs

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Background The Chinese Chenghua pig (CHP) is a typical Chinese domestic fatty pig breed with superior meat quality characteristics, while the Yorkshire pig (YP) has the characteristics of fast growth and a high rate of lean meat. Long term natural selection and artificial selection resulted in great phenotypic differences between the two breeds, including growth, development, production performance, meat quality, and coat color. However, genome-wide DNA methylation differences between CHP and YP remain unclear. Results DNA methylation data were generated for muscle tissues of CHP and YP using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS). In this study, a total of 2,416,211 CpG sites were identified. Besides, the genome-wide DNA methylation analysis revealed 722 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and 466 differentially methylated genes (DMGs) in pairwise CHP vs. YP comparison. Six key genomic regions ( Sus scrofa chromosome (SSC)1:253.47–274.23 Mb, SSC6:148.71–169.49 Mb, SSC7:0.25–9.86 Mb, SSC12:43.06–61.49 Mb, SSC14:126.43–140.95 Mb, and SSC18:49.17–54.54 Mb) containing multiple DMRs were identified, and differences of methylation patterns in these regions may be related to phenotypic differences between CHP and YP. Based on the functional analysis of DMGs, 8 DMGs ( ADCY1 , AGBL4 , EXOC2 , FUBP3, PAPPA2 , PIK3R1 , MGMT and MYH8 ) were considered as important candidate genes associated with muscle development and meat quality traits in pigs. Conclusions This study explored the difference in meat quality between CHP and YP from the epigenetic point of view, which has important reference significance for the local pork industry and pork food processing.
The hilltopping mating system of the duskywing skipper Erynnis tristis (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Males of Erynnis tristis (Boisduval, 1852) perch at selected locations on a hilltop in central Arizona where they wait for the arrival of receptive females.They leave their perches to engage rival males in chases and, occasionally, in more elaborate spinning, descending flights in which one male appears to force his opponent down toward the ground.This latter behavior has not been previously recorded for E. tristis although it is convergent with that of a territorial hilltopping tachinid fly found at the same location.The nature of male-male interactions and the tendency of at least some individual butterflies to remain for some time at a particular perch, or small set of nearby perches, is consistent with male hilltopping territoriality, which has been reported for E. tristis at other locations.Although some males do return to the peaktop over periods of as much as three weeks, they do not exhibit fidelity to a particular territory unlike males of many other hilltopping insects at the same location.Moreover, they also differ from most hilltopping insects at this location in frequently choosing to perch in places other than on plants growing on the highest points of the ridge.

Radical surgery for cancer of the pancreas.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The basic principles of oncological radicality in surgery are: a) the surgeon have to perform always an R0 resection and he have to use perioperative investigation of resection margin, b) lymphadenectomy must be rational meaning that it is enough to perform regional lymphadenectomy (radical lymphadenectomy is not necessary), c) if portal vein resection enables increased curability of resection, then it is valuable to resect part of this vessel and to perform end-to-end venous anastomosis. (Ref. 5.).

The long-term results of proximal gastric vagotomy.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Since 1969 we have performed proximal gastric vagotomy (PGV) in 514 patients. PGV without drainage was performed, before 1978, in 304 patients with one death (0.3%) and of these, 242 have been followed for from five to 13 years. Good clinical results were achieved in 78% but there were 32 recurrent ulcers. When two patients with Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome were excluded the late recurrence rate was 12.7%. There was no difference between the clinical results of men and women. When all the recurrent ulcers and two patients with gastric retention had been treated, mostly by operation, good results were recorded in 90% of our series. We conclude that PGV is the best operation at present available for uncomplicated duodenal ulcer.
Stereoscopic FPV for drones

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Over the last two decades, development of drone or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technologies and its integration into our society has facilitated the growth in several aspects, including aerial photography, search and rescue as well as inspections and surveillance. On the other hand, with the knowledge and advancement in stereoscopic shooting techniques, it is possible to integrate the two technologies together in order to provide drone pilot a first-person stereoscopic view while supervising the drone movement remotely in real-time. A portable and low-cost stereo vision system was developed in this project. Given that the smart phone platform (Android) has gradually mature and it has become more common and ubiquitous, it has been selected as the platform for real-time stereo images streaming. Stereo images are streamed across Wi-Fi and the stereo vision system possess an average frame latency of 340 ms. This paper documents the system design and software development of the stereo vision system and presents the evaluation of performance of the system developed.
Irrigation as a disturbance for interstitial crustacean communities in a French Pyrenean alluvial aquifer

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

\n While the impacts of groundwater contamination on interstitial invertebrate communities are well studied, very few work have examined other potential disturbance resulting from agricultural practices. In the present study, the interstitial crustacean fauna was studied in an alluvial aquifer characterized by intensive cereal irrigation, to test the influence of groundwater extraction on the assemblage characteristics (abundance, diversity, persistence, species distribution patterns). Micro- and macrocrustaceans were sampled at 4 seasons in 15 wells with contrasted groundwater use (cereal irrigation / domestic use / no groundwater use) scattered over a 250 km2 alluvial floodplain. The aquifer harbored diverse assemblages dominated numerically and specifically by cyclopoids. Total abundance, diversity expressed using species richness or Shannon index, overall persistence in species composition did not vary between stations whether micro- or macrocrustaceans were considered. Yet, marked differences in the cyclopoids assemblages composition were found in relation to groundwater utilization. Disturbed irrigation wells were dominated by epigean species, while hypogean species were mainly found in less impacted domestic wells. In contrast, amphipods/isopods did not exhibit particular assemblages composition between irrigation, domestic or abandoned wells. The differential responses between micro- / macrocrustaceans, epigean / hypogean species emphasized that levels of disturbance are strongly taxondependent. At the scale of the aquifer, these results suggest that groundwater extraction resulting from intensive irrigation has to be considered as a potential disturbance for the interstitial communities.\n
