Historiography of Translation in India: Issues and Approaches

Historiography of Translation is a vital exercise for a deeper understanding of the way translation evolved in a given time period, the way translators functioned, the kind of conditions of translation prevailed and the way individuals and agencies influenced the process of translation. It not only serves to illuminate the gaps in history but also seeks to explain the historical context. It throws new light on not merely the translation of a particular author but also its reception in a given culture. It stands at the intersection of languages, cultures and worldviews. Therefore, it is necessary to approach it in a suitable way and enrich ourselves with the insights derived from it with humility. &nbsp

The synthesis and evaluation of potential anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis and apoptotic agents

Philosophiae Doctor - PhDTuberculosis (TB) and Cancer are among the most devastating and therapeutically challenging diseases that need to be addressed in South Africa today. The development of muti-drug resistance in TB causing bacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and cancerous cells has prompted the search for effective novel compounds. The present study focused on the synthesis and the evaluation of different analogues of diospyrin, a proven anti-TB and anti-cancer agent.South Afric

Microbial Diversity in Freshwater and Marine Environment

Water covers seven tenths of the Earth's surface and occupies an estimated total volume of 1,386,000,000 cubic kilometers (km3). Of all the water found on Earth, 97% is marine. Maximum of this water is at a temperature of 2 to 3°C and devoid of light; 62% is under high pressure (>100 atm). Microscopic phytoplankton and associated bacteria generate a complex food web that can extend over long distances and extreme depths. The marine environment looks so vast that it will not be able to be exaggerated by pollution; however, in coastal areas human activities are increasingly disrupting microbial processes and damaging water quality.Nepal Journal of Biotechnology.

Magnetically separable Zn 1−x Co 0.5x Mg 0.5x Fe 2 O 4 ferrites: stable and efficient sunlight-driven photocatalyst for environmental remediation

Nanomaterials have recently gained significant interest as they are believed to offer an outstanding prospect for use in environmental remediation. Among many possible candidates, due to their useful properties including magnetic nature, wide surface area, and high absorptivity, ferrite materials hold tremendous appeal, allowing them to be used for multifaceted applications. In the present study, using a sol–gel auto combustion process, a magnetically separable Zn1−xCo0.5xMg0.5xFe2O4 (x = 0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0) ferrite with superior photocatalytic activity for dye degradation was manufactured. Rietveld refinement and FTIR studies confirm that a single-phase cubic spinel system was built for all samples with crystallite sizes of 34–57 nm. VSM has determined the magnetic properties of the samples at room temperature. With the introduction of Mg2+ and Co2+ in the Zn ferrites, a transformation from the soft superparamagnetic activity to the hard ferromagnetic character was reported. Considering the band structure in the visible region, the photocatalytic activities of the Zn1−xCo0.5xMg0.5xFe2O4 ferrites for the degradation of the MB dye under natural sunlight were investigated. Zn0.25Co0.375Mg0.375Fe2O4 showed an efficiency of degradation of 99.23% for MB dye with a quick 40 min irradiation period with high reusability of up to four cycles

2-Arylnaphthoquinone analogues: Potential anti-TB and pro-apoptotic agents

A useful library of substituted 2-arylnaphthoquinones prepared by reaction between the corresponding bromonaphthoquinones and arylboronic acids via Suzuki-Miyaura protocols has been established. Conversion of some of the products into new analogues was effected. The bisnaphthoquinone disospyrin 1 comprises two 7-methyljuglone units linked between C2 and C6. 1,2 Antimycobacterial activity studies performed on diospyrin 1 alerted the scientific community to the potential importance of this natural product3 which was soon followed by its first published synthesis by Yoshida and Mori in the same year.4 Subsequent studies, which included the synthesis and evaluation of related analogues of diospyrin 1 demonstrated the potential of this basic scaffold to be considered as an integral aspect for good antimycrobacterial activity

Management of midline diastema using pressable ceramics and zirconia crowns: a case series

Maxillary and mandibular midline diastema (MMD) is frequently observed in various populations. The occurrence of MMD can be attributed to multiple factors, including etiological, developmental, and patient habits. The diverse options to treat MMD are orthodontic correction, direct and indirect restorations, crowns, and veneers. This case series presents instances of closing maxillary and mandibular midline diastema using e.max veneers and zirconia crowns

Aesthetic and Functional Full Mouth Rehabilitation of a Patient Using Extra Coronal Attachments: a case report

Achieving aesthetic and functional requirements in full mouth rehabilitation using combined fixed and removable dentures is difficult. Strategic diagnosis and treatment planning are required to overcome this challenge. Numerous conventional and cutting-edge treatments can result in successful restorations. One such method of treatment is precision attachment retained partial dentures. Selecting strategic abutments is key to the success of the partial denture. This case report describes full-mouth rehabilitation of maxillary and mandibular arches using fixed and attachment retained cast partial dentures

HPLC analysis of bioactive steroids from the roots of Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal (Ashwagandha)

A simple procedure was described for the determination of Withanolide A and Withanolide B in Ashwagandha root by HPLC. Separation was achieved on a Spherisorb C18 column with Water: Acetonitrile in the gradient elution. Detection was accomplished with UV detection at λ = 216 nm. Using this method, the bioactive steroid in Withania somnifera was determined. Significant variations in the contents of Withanolide A and Withanolide B in Ashwagandha root growing in different locations were also observed.Colegio de Farmacéuticos de la Provincia de Buenos Aire
