Critical Analysis on Multimodal Emotion Recognition in Meeting the Requirements for Next Generation Human Computer Interactions

Emotion recognition is the gap in today’s Human Computer Interaction (HCI). These systems lack the ability to effectively recognize, express and feel emotion limits in their human interaction. They still lack the better sensitivity to human emotions. Multi modal emotion recognition attempts to addresses this gap by measuring emotional state from gestures, facial expressions, acoustic characteristics, textual expressions. Multi modal data acquired from video, audio, sensors etc. are combined using various techniques to classify basis human emotions like happiness, joy, neutrality, surprise, sadness, disgust, fear, anger etc. This work presents a critical analysis of multi modal emotion recognition approaches in meeting the requirements of next generation human computer interactions. The study first explores and defines the requirements of next generation human computer interactions and critically analyzes the existing multi modal emotion recognition approaches in addressing those requirements

FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF GASTRO-RETENTIVE DOSAGE FORM OF ATAZANAVIR SULPHATE

Objective: To improve dissolution properties of atazanavir sulphate by preparing gastro-retentive granules by solid dispersion method and development of RP-HPLC method for estimation of this drug.Methods: Estimation of atazanavir sulphate was done using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on inertsil column (5 µm, 250x4, 6 mm) with a mobile phase consists of methanol: water (91:9 v/v), at 0.5 ml/min flow rate and 249 nm UV detection. The method was validated as per ICH guidelines. Selection of the carrier for gastro-retentive formulation was based on phase solubility study of the drug. Solid dispersions of gastro-retentive granules of different composition of drug and carrier, were prepared by the kneading, heating and solvent evaporation. A 32factorial design was applied to optimize the gastro-retentive formulation. The amounts of polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG 6000) (X1) and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) (X2) were selected as independent variables and in vitro-release at 5, 9 h and total floating time was selected as dependent variables. Results: HPLC method was found to be linear in a concentration range of 10-60 μg/ml of the drug (r2= 0.999). The low value of % RSD in precision study indicates reproducibility of the method. The low value of LOD and LOQ suggests the sensitivity of the method. The solubility enhancement study of drug with various carriers followed descending order of solubility [Gelucire 44/14>PEG 6000>polyvinyl pyrrilidone (PVP)]. Highest % cumulative release was observed for the heating method at drug polymer (PEG 6000) ratio 1:5. Hence, this ratio has been selected for preparation of solid dispersion. From comparison of dissolution profile of formulated batches, formulation F4 [containing PEG6000 (1.6 g) and HPMC (200 mg)] showed promising dissolution parameters with desired floating properties.Conclusion: Results obtained by validation studies suggested that the developed HPLC method is simple, accurate, precise and can be used for routine analysis of atazanavir sulphate formulation. Results of evaluation of prepared batches indicate that batch F4 is a promising formulation for gastro-retentive dosage form of drug.Â

Phytochemical Analysis of Some Wild Vegetables from Thane Dist, Maharashtra, India

Indian traditional knowledge about the wild edible plants (WEPs) is most important part for the sustainable development. People are addicted to eat hybrid food for the last few decades. This study focuses on the preliminary survey and phytochemical analysis of certain wild edible plants providing valuable insights into their potential benefits. Hibiscus sabdariffa, Cassia tora, Amaranthus cruentus (Red leaves), Amaranthus viridis (Green leaves), Holarrhena spp., these WEPs are tested for analysis of Phytochemicals. During the last few years, several studies have focused on the chemical characterization and the bioactivities of various WEPs, while numerous ethno pharmacological studies have highlighted their contemporary uses in modern dietsand their positive health effects. The results revealed the presence of medicinally active compounds in those five plants. From the phytochemical analysis, it could be seen that Phenolic, Flavonoids and Antioxidant Properties i.e. 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) were present in all the plants. Flavonoids were absent only from Holarrhena spp. Some plant species are used for nutritional purposes and for enhancing overall health. These WEPs are utilized by tribal communities to effective treatment and manage a variety of diseases and health conditions, including diabetes, malaria, jaundice, stomach disorders, coughs, piles, amebic stool, gastritis, arthritis, and cysts, as well as to promote blood purification. However, these vegetables are growing in wild conditions and have very good nutritional and medicinal properties; they need to be domesticated by proper techniques providing agro climatic practices

SALINITY INDUCED RESPIRATORY ALTERATIONS IN ESTUARINE CLAM PAPHIA LATERISULCA AT BHATYE ESTUARY, RATNAGIRI COAST, INDIA

Present study clearly indicated size as well as season dependant variation in oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in estuarine clam P. laterisulca, exposed to various salinity ranges (100% to 10%). During all three seasons (summer, post-monsoon and winter) smaller clams showed more sensitivity and tolerance undergone lower salinity stress condition than medium and larger size clam. Even, clams of all three sizes respond toward lower salinity ranges in similar fashion, their degree of tolerance and time taken by them to adjust in lower salinity varied with both size and seasons. Overall, all three size clams seasonal metabolic alteration indicates tolerance to 40% reduction in salinity from normal saline water

Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance Patterns of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-Producing Pathogens: Insights from Clinical Isolates

This study investigates the prevalence and antibiotic resistance patterns of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-producing pathogens in a regional tertiary care hospital. A retrospective analysis of 444 clinical isolates from various specimen types was conducted, focusing on resistance to commonly used antibiotics and the presence of blaTEM and blaSHV genes. The study found a 30.63% ESBL prevalence, with higher rates among the elderly and in specimens such as endotracheal secretions and cerebrospinal fluid. Imipenem (IPM) showed the highest resistance rate (45.27%), while ceftriaxone (CTR), cefotaxime (CTX), and ceftazidime (CAZ) exhibited moderate resistance (~21-25%). Gentamicin (GEN) and streptomycin (S) showed no resistance. Molecular analysis revealed a high prevalence of blaTEM and blaSHV genes, often co-occurring within the same isolates. The findings highlight the need for enhanced antimicrobial stewardship programs, continuous surveillance, and alternative therapeutic strategies to combat rising antibiotic resistance

Amelioration of Paracetamol-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Rat by the Administration of Chloroform extract of Argemone mexicana

Aim: The present study was undertaken to examine the effects of Chloroform extract of Argemone mexicana using the paracetamol-induced liver damage in rats as the animal model. Materials and methods: Chloroform extract of Argemone mexicana (100 and 200 mg/kg body weight) was administered daily in experimental animals. The hepatoprotective efficacy of Chloroform extract of Argemone mexicana (100 and 200 mg/kg) was investigated against paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity. The levels of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bilirubin and triglycerides were estimated. Moreover, chloroform extract of Argemone mexicana -aided antioxidant defense against hepatotoxic insult of paracetamol was measured by evaluating a number of anti-oxidative biomarkers including reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) in the serum. Results: Oral administration of paracetamol (500 mg/kg b.wt.) resulted in a significant elevation of liver enzymes in serum such as SGOT, SGPT, ALP, bilirubin and triglyceride levels when compared with the results in the control group. As regards oxidative stress biomarkers, there were increased tissue levels of malondialdehyde in the group treated with paracetamol. All of these results were ameliorated by co-administration of chloroform extract of Argemone mexicana. Conclusions: These results suggest that the protective role of Chloroform extract of Argemone mexicana in the prevention of PCM-induced hepatic toxicity in rats was associated with a decrease of oxidative stress in hepatic tissues.
