Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Propolis: Insights into its Chemical Profile and Pharmacological Activities

Propolis is a natural adhesive produced by honey bees. This study explored two extracts, methanolic and ethanolic, prepared through Soxhlet extraction and maceration, respectively. The antioxidative, antibacterial, and anticancer properties of these extracts were assessed. For quantification, flavonoid, phenolic, and tannin contents were determined in both extracts. The antioxidant properties of the extracts were evaluated using DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays.

Study of Urinary Hydroxyproline, Serum Pseudo Choline Esterase, Serum Protein Electrophoresis Abnormalities in Pem Children

Introduction: Hydroxyproline is a translation modification of amino acid for the formation of collagen in PEM (Protein energy malnutrition) children the hydroxylproline is excreted through urine not seen.The pseudo choline esterase lowers in the PEM children because of liner enlarged and impaired LFT and at the same time, the hypoalbuminemia is observed by an electrophoretic pattern of A: G ratio. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was carried out in the Index Medical College, Department of Pediatrics. This study population consisted of 75 cases of PEM and 50 controls.

To Study about Why Still Educated Females have Fewer Numbers in Government and Private Sectors in India

The Nexus of Plastic Pollution, Climate Change, and Antibiotic Resistance: An Interdisciplinary Study

Background: Plastic pollution, climate change, and antibiotic resistance (AR) are interconnected global crises. Microplastics provide substrates for biofilm formation, which fosters horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs). Climate change accelerates microbial activity, exacerbating ARG dissemination. Methods: The study integrated global datasets, statistical analysis, and laboratory experiments. Predictors, including temperature, plastic density, ARG prevalence, UV exposure, and antibiotic concentration, were analyzed for their impact on ARG dissemination.

A Study of Women Empowerment in India: An Urgent need in the 21st Century

Women play a significant role in society and their involvement in national activities is essential for a country's social, economic and political advancement. Despite being a democratic nation, India still grapples with gender discrimination which begins at birth and persists throughout life. Women have long been viewed in society as inferior to males.

Statistical Modelling of Motor Vehicle road Accidents in Botswana

Botswana's increased road traffic accidents have become a national concern, calling for evidence-based holistic interventions. This study aims to determine a statistical model that can predict the number of motor vehicle road accidents in Botswana using the binomial and generalized Poisson regression models. The data used in the study were obtained from Botswana’s Motor Vehicle Accident Fund (MVA) annual road crash claims report for 2014. And covers the years 2007-2021.

Asymptomatic Carriage, Knowledge, and Risk factors Associated with Streptococcus Pneumoniae Infection Among Public Transport Users (Taxi-Bus) in Franceville, South-East Gabon

Background: Despite the existence of a vaccine, pneumococcal bacteria remain a major health problem, particularly in Africa, where they cause many deaths, especially among young children and the elderly. The present study looked at asymptomatic carriage, knowledge and risk factors associated with Streptococcus pneumoniae infection, among public transport users (Taxis-Bus) in Franceville, south-east Gabon.

Pragmatic Implications of the Personal Vivification of Nothingness

In this article, I will focus on the practical implications that can be lived out by the person who assumes Nothingness and his nothing. I will refer to ten basic requisites or implicit conditions that are to be fulfilled for the living out, at a more profound level, of Nothingness. Each one of these assumes a voluntary act on behalf of the individual as per a derived election of assuming Nothingness to a certain degree; at least enough of it for a greater commitment.
