Comparative study on calcium, magnesium and cobalt in diabetic and non diabetic patients (males) in Punjab, Pakistan

Minerals are very important because of their important role in the maintenance of human health. Our study was aimed at assessing and comparing the levels of Ca, Mg and Co in the blood samples of diabetic and non diabetic persons (males) of five age groups between one and 75 years. For this purpose, fasting blood samples of diabetic and non diabetic males of selected age groups were collected. The blood samples were centrifuged to get serum. The mineral elements in the serum were analyzed by using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results depicted that the diabetic patients had higher mean concentration of Ca (141.47 ppm), Mg (18 ppm) and Co (0.057 ppm) while non diabetic persons had higher mean concentration of Ca (201.33 ppm), Mg (36.15 ppm) and Co (0.047 ppm). Statistical analysis was done by applying Student’s T-test. It can be concluded from the study that the diabetic patients of all five age groups are deficient of Ca, Mg, whereas the concentration of Co is higher in diabetic patients. In the further study physiological parameters along with other inorganic cofactors are being taken into consideration.Key words: Diabetes mellitus, blood serum, Ca, Mg, Co

Environmental-friendly extraction of chlorophyll from pineapple plantation waste for dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) fabrication

Improper disposal of pineapple waste can cause negative impact to the environment. To reduce the waste, we decide to recycle it. Recently, we discover that the present of chlorophyll in the pineapple plantation waste in the leaves can be used to fabricate the Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) which is can be categorised as a renewable energy as well as environmental-friendly. The experimental and analysis was done to obtain the best condition of chlorophyll yield from the waste. The best condition from the mechanical extraction can be achieved by uncut the processed leaves at 3 cycle for extraction cycle by using the sugarcane machine. The highest value of chlorophyll a is 52.57 mg/ml and chlorophyll b is 113.05 mg/ml

Towards the development of sustainable tourism in Pakistan : a study of the role of tour operators

The literature on sustainable tourism is scant, particularly in the least developed countries. Very few studies touch upon the concept and no holistic theoretical or conceptual frameworks around the idea of sustainable tourism have been formulated. This study aims at exploring the role of tour operators in developing sustainable tourism in Pakistan and how the tour operators (TOs) conceive their role in this regard. TOs were reached through phone calls, emails, and virtual sources as face-to-face interviews were not possible due to COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions on travel by the government. In-depth interviews were conducted to gather data. Results suggest that the TOs although realize the importance of social, environmental, and economic dimensions of tourism on the communities but have no management systems in place to cater accordingly. There are no incentives in place by the government facilitate TOs to design and implement such systems. The TOs do not select a destination based on Global Sustainable Tourism Council criterion, but rather the selection of destination is mostly demand-based and profit-oriented. The study suggests that corporate profit motive is the sole criterion for decision making and is one of the major causes impeding sustainable tourism in Pakistan. The role of TOs in developing sustainable tourism is vague as the TOs do not have any systems in place to implement sustainable models. The study recommends that efforts need to be put in place to incentivize sustainable tourism in Pakistan and proper laws should be set forth by the authorities to comply by the TOs. The role of TOs is important and understood, however, there is a need to put proper systems in place

Chlorophyll’s dependency towards electrical characteristics of banana midrib-based dye- sensitized solar cell for waste management solution

The application of Banana Midrib waste chlorophyll as an alternative natural dye in Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) could be advantageous. The natural colors utilized in this study were derived from the chlorophyll of the banana midrib. TiO, chlorophyll and KI serve as a working electrode, photosensitizer, and electrolyte in the DSSC respectively. Chlorophyll, which can be extracted from majority of greenly plants, is one of the important substances in absorbing the light for energy harvesting. Since the concentration level of chlorophyll defers for each type, age or part of the plants, numerous studies related to these scopes have been actively performed. In this study, banana midrib that are mostly common waste will be benefited to extract different concentration levels of chlorophyll for the fabrication of DSSCs' purpose. The relationship between the chlorophyll’s concentration level and the output of electrical properties will be further analyzed

Hadronic observables from SIS to SPS energies - anything strange with strangeness ?

We calculate $p, \pi^\pm, K^\pm$ and $\Lambda$(+$\Sigma^0$) rapidity distributions and compare to experimental data from SIS to SPS energies within the UrQMD and HSD transport approaches that are both based on string, quark, diquark ($q, \bar{q}, qq, \bar{q}\bar{q}$) and hadronic degrees of freedom. The two transport models do not include any explicit phase transition to a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). It is found that both approaches agree rather well with each other and with the experimental rapidity distributions for protons, $\Lambda$'s, $\pi^\pm$ and $K^\pm$. Inspite of this apparent agreement both transport models fail to reproduce the maximum in the excitation function for the ratio $K^+/\pi^+$ found experimentally between 11 and 40 A$\cdot$GeV. A comparison to the various experimental data shows that this 'failure' is dominantly due to an insufficient description of pion rapidity distributions rather than missing 'strangeness'. The modest differences in the transport model results -- on the other hand -- can be attributed to different implementations of string formation and fragmentation, that are not sufficiently controlled by experimental data for the 'elementary' reactions in vacuum.Comment: 46 pages, including 15 eps figures, to be published in Phys.

Collagen-derived cryptides : machine-learning prediction and molecular dynamic interaction against Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilm synthesis precursor

Collagen-derived cryptic peptides (cryptides) are biologically active peptides derived from the proteolytic digestion of collagen protein. These cryptides possess a multitude of activities, including antihypertensive, antiproliferative, and antibacterial. The latter, however, has not been extensively studied. The cryptides are mainly obtained from the protein hydrolysate, followed by characterizations to elucidate the function, limiting the number of cryptides investigated within a short period. The recent threat of antimicrobial resistance microorganisms (AMR) to global health requires the rapid development of new therapeutic drugs. The current study aims to predict antimicrobial peptides (AMP) from collagen-derived cryptides, followed by elucidating their potential to inhibit biofilm-related precursors in Klebsiella pneumoniae using in silico approach. Therefore, cryptides derived from collagen amino acid sequences of various types and species were subjected to online machine-learning platforms (i.e., CAMPr3, DBAASP, dPABBs, Hemopred, and ToxinPred). The peptide-protein interaction was elucidated using molecular docking, molecular dynamics, and MM-PBSA analysis against MrkH, a K. pneumoniae’s transcriptional regulator of type 3 fimbriae that promote biofilm formation. As a result, six potential antibiofilm inhibitory cryptides were screened and docked against MrkH. All six peptides bind stronger than the MrkH ligand (c-di-GMP; C2E)
