Antibacterial And Antioxidative Properties Of Essential Oils From Armoise (Artemisia Herba-Alba), Bay (Laurus Nobilis) And Rose Geranium (Pelargonium Capitatum X Radens) In Vitro

The prevalence of food contamination by pathogenic bacteria resulting in foodborne illness has raised concern to the food industry. In addition, oxidation in food, which affects the shelf life and quality of the food through the formation of off odor and off flavor, is another concern to the food industry. Nitrates, sulfates, benzoates of sodium and potassium, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) are commonly used as preservatives in the food industry. However, long-term safety issues of synthetic preservatives in human health along with negative perception of consumers have lead researchers to find alternative natural preservatives. The purpose of this study is to find the most effective essential oil (EO) that has high inhibitory effect against pathogenic bacteria as well as high antioxidant activity among three commercially available EOs derived from armoise (Artemisia herba-alba), bay (Laurus nobilis) and rose geranium (Pelargonium capitatum x radens) plants

GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY/MASS SPECTROMETRY ANALYSIS OF TERMINALIA CATAPPA L. NUT AND ANTIMICROBIAL ASSAY

ABSTRACTObjective: The present study was carried out with the main objective of studying Terminalia catappa nut phyto-constituents through GC-MS/MS, aswell as its antibacterial, antifungal activities.Methods: The T. catappa nut collected was shade dried and extracted with ethanol, the obtained ethanol extract was used for the whole study- GCMS/MS, antimicrobial activity.Results: The results of GC-MS/MS showed 12 peaks. Among the 12 peaks obtained, the highest peak area percent of 48.58 for Propane, 1,1-diethoxyand24.36% for t-Butyl hydrogen phthalate followed by 3-Isopropoxy-1,1,1,7,7,7-hexamethyl-3,5,5-tris (trimethylsiloxy) tetrasiloxane showing 12.80as peak area percent and all the other compound was found to be moderate in peak area percent which was in the range of 3.52-1.10 except β-l-Arabinopyranoside methyl, and Cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, oct-3-en-2-yl ester as its peak area percent was very low showing 0.08 and 0.13. Theantibacterial activity was good with Escherichia coli when compared to Staphylococcus aureus likewise, the antifungal activity was good with Candidaalbicans on comparison with Aspergillus niger.Conclusion: The naturally occurring non –nutrient plant chemicals called as phytochemicals especially phenolics – a natural antioxidant containedin T. catappa nut would have contributed for its antibacterial, antifungal properties by interfering with the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membraneand destroying the enzymes required for cellular processes ensuring its therapeutic potential. The variation in therapeutic potential depends on thenutrient content of the soil and other climatic conditions. This confirms the need, validity for phytochemical characterization via analytical methods.Keywords: Antimicrobial, Analytical, Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/MS, Terminalia sp

A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF DISSERTATIONS FROM 2010 TO 2019 INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES AND PREPARATION FOR PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS IN USING MULTICULTURAL AND INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’S AND YOUNG ADULT’S LITERATURE: A COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

The goal of this comprehensive literature review is to show the importance of using multicultural and international children’s and young adult literature as a needed resource within classrooms across grade levels in order to develop and maintain societies of people around the globe who are knowledgeable of, empathetic toward, and accepting and understanding of one another. A second goal is to show students who work collaboratively using multiple sign systems express their understandings of literature, have encouraged critical thinking skills and are enabled to develop their cultural strengths and talents. This study researched and analyzed the reported importance of the use of multicultural and international children’s and young adults’ literature and promoted awareness of the need for pre-service teachers to be prepared to use this literature in their future classrooms. Numerous dissertations with the topic of cultural literature were rigorously studied and selected or deselected according to questions pre-chosen by the researcher. The fieldnotes taken from two prominent International Literature conferences were meticulously examined as well, for the input of the need for forth coming teachers to be prepared in using this literature in their classrooms. The findings and conclusions found it to be necessary for pre-service teachers to be prepared on using cultural literature in the most efficient ways according to a conglomeration of award winning authors, illustrators, and prestigious professors who specialize in the area of multicultural and international children’s and young adult’s literature. Implications prevail heavily that detailed preparation for pre-service teachers in the implementation of the use of this literature is imperative

Look, Think, Act: Using Critical Action Research to Sustain Reform in Complex Teaching/Learning Ecologies

This paper argues that educators interested in sustainability should look to complexity science for guiding principles. When we view our classrooms and campuses as living, dynamic ecologies, we can, as insiders, make sense of what might otherwise seem chaotic or meaningless. This perspective enables us not only to describe and explain what is happening around us, but also to use our findings to influence emerging patterns across our classrooms, campuses, or our larger communities. We suggest that educators use a Look, Think, Act cycle recommended by Ernie Stringer to encourage and support sustainable school reform

Prenatal Buprenorphine/Naloxone or Methadone Use on Neonatal Outcomes in Michigan

Background: Maternal opioid exposure during pregnancy has various effects on neonatal health. Buprenorphine/naloxone and methadone are examples of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) used for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). Research comparing the impacts of these MOUD modalities on neonatal outcomes when used to treat pregnant people with OUD remains limited. We evaluated the differences in outcomes between neonates with in-utero exposure to buprenorphine/naloxone versus methadone. Methodology: We performed a retrospective cohort chart review between October 15, 2008, and October 15, 2019, evaluating mother/neonate dyads at two medical centers in Michigan. The charts of female patients, aged 18+, with OUD and buprenorphine/naloxone or methadone treatment, were examined. The charts of the corresponding neonates were also examined. Multiple regression analysis was performed. Results: In total, 343 mother/infant dyads were included: 99 patients were treated with buprenorphine/naloxone and 232 patients were treated with methadone. The buprenorphine/naloxone group had significant differences in maternal age, hepatitis status, asthma, gestational age in weeks, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) length of stay (LOS), neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) peak score, birth head circumference, and birth weight compared to the methadone group at baseline. Adjusted multivariable regression analysis demonstrated neonates with exposure to buprenorphine/naloxone had a NOWS peak score 3.079 points less (95% confidence interval (CI): -4.525, 1.633; p = 0.001) and NICU LOS 8.955 days less (95% CI: -14.399, -3.511; p = 0.001) than neonates exposed to methadone. Conclusions: Neonates with in-utero exposure to buprenorphine/naloxone had significantly lower NOWS scores and shorter NICU LOS compared to neonates with in-utero exposure to methadone. These findings demonstrate that buprenorphine/naloxone is potentially a more favorable treatment for the reduction in metrics representing adverse neonatal outcomes in pregnant people with OUD than methadone

Gončarova romānā „Krauja” un tā tulkojumā latviešu valodā. Pētījuma pamatā ir salīdzinošās pazīmes darbības vārdu pāriem abās valodās, iekļaujot pilnīgas un nepilnīgas darbības vārdus, kuri identificēti uz romāna un tā tulkojuma analīzes pamata. Romāna valoda spilgti parāda krievu valodas darbības vārdu funkcionālās-semantiskās iezīmes, bet romāna tulkojuma teksts, ko veikuši Elīna Zālīte un Pauls Dāle, kuri ir latviešu valodas zinātāji, nodrošina salīdzināšanai nepieciešamo pamatu. Darbā ir divas daļās. Pirmajā daļā tiek apskatīti teorētiskie jautājumi, kuri ir saistīti ar darbības vārda veida problemātiku abās valodās, kā arī mākslinieciskās runas jautājumiem tulkojuma aspektā. Sekojoši otrajā daļā, saskaņā ar noteikto uzdevumu tiek apskatīts salīdzinošais pilnīgo un nepilnīgo darbības vārdu pāru apraksts. Šis pētījums būs noderīgs lingvistiem un filologiem, kuri nodarbojas ar darbības vārdu veidu problemātiku salīdzinošā aspektā, kā arī I. Gončarova romānu valodas īpatnībām un to tulkojumiem.This master thesis is dedicated to the matter of use and meaning of Russian and Latvian verb forms category by the example of functioning of this category in “The Precipice” by Ivan Goncharov and in its Latvian translation. The research is based on comparative characteristic of both languages’ verbal pairs, which include perfective and imperfective verb forms that were identified during the analysis of the text and its translation. The language of the novel brightly reveals functional and semantic features of Russian verb forms categories, but the Latvian translation of the novel, made by native Latvian speakers — Elina Zalite and Pauls Dale, give us the necessary basis for comparison. The master thesis includes two chapters. The first chapter displays the basic theoretical issues of perfective and imperfective verb forms of both Russian and Latvian languages; as well the chapter shows artistic speech issues in the translation aspect. According to the set goals, the second chapter displays comparative description of perfective and imperfective verb forms. This research might raise interest of linguists that make research on problematics of verb forms in comparative aspect and for philologists, who study the language features of Ivan Goncharov novels and its translations
