Different types of pesticide residues in foodstuffs
Get PDFPesticide have contributed greatly to increase of yield in agriculture by controlling pests. The staggering of agriculture that has has been achieved so far has been driven by pesticide. It has negative impacts for the whole ecosystem by entering food residues. Food products were found to have contaminated 51 percent with pesticide residues were higher than the MRL. The present research was carried out to measure the concentration and awareness of pesticide residues in food stuffs and to quantify the possible health hazards linked with pesticide residue. GC-ECD/NPD was used to estimate the pesticide residues. Analysis of four common organophosphate pesticides chloropyriphos, dimethoate, profenofos, quinalphos and phorate are widely applied on fruits and vegetables was carried out. Along with this residue levels of four pyrethroid and carbamate in fruits and vegetables samples were analysed. In order to analyze the residue levels in major foodstuffs in Kerala, samples of fruits and vegetables have been collected from markets located in Thiruvananthapuram and Kasargod

Results: The synthesised nanoparticles showed potential antimicrobial activity against strains of gram positive bacteria especially against S.aureus where 35 mm of inhibitory activity was observed. They also showed enhanced antifungal property as compared to the control. 
The role of levosimendan as inotropic agents in patients with LV dysfunction admitted to ICU post cardiac surgery
Get PDFBACKGROUND: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is the standard of care for the management of patients with three-vessel and left main coronary artery disease (CAD) with viable myocardium. Positive inotropic agents are the treatment of choice in patients with LV dysfunction post CABG. Levosimendan is an inotropic drug that has three major mechanisms of action: positive inotropy, vasodilation, and cardiac cytoprotection. Levosimendan is a calcium sensitizer, it improves myocardial contractility by sensitising troponin C to calcium without increasing myocardial oxygen consumption and without impairing relaxation and diastolic function. AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of levosimendan compared to the conventional inotropic agents on the outcomes of patients with LV dysfunction undergoing CABG. METHODS: It is a prospective observational study that patients were divided into 2 groups of 50 patients each. Group A received intravenous levosimendan (at a dose of 0.2ΞΌg per kilogram of body weight per minute for 1 hour, followed by a dose of 0.1ΞΌg per kilogram per minute for 23 hours), with the infusion started at the induction of anesthesia while Group B which included patients who received conventional drugs. Clinical examination, Hemodynamic data and Laboratory investigations pre-operative and post-operative were collected
Effectiveness of movement with mobilization (MWM) on pain, proprioception and muscle strength in diabetic frozen shoulder conditions
Get PDFThe term βfrozen shoulderβ was first introduced by Codman in 1934. He described a painful shoulder condition of insidious onset that was associated with stiffness and difficulty sleeping on the affected side. Codman also identified the marked reduction in forward elevation and external rotation that are the hallmarks of the disease (Richard Dias et al, 2005). Brian Mulliganβs concept of Mobilization with Movement (MWM) is a natural continuance of the progression in the development of manual therapy from active stretching exercise to therapist applied passive physiological movement to passive accessory mobilization technique. (Deepali Rathod et al, 2019). Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of Mulligan Therapy along with conventional on Pain, ROM, Proprioception and muscle strength in patients with diabetic frozen shoulder. Methodology: 31 Patients were treated with Mulligan Therapy, Stabilization Exercise and Moist Heat Therapy. All the patients were selected after informed consent. These patients were interviewed by direct method. The patients were assessed in 0 (zero) week and reassessed in 4 (four) weeks and 8 (eight) weeks of treatment programme. Every 0 week 4 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment programme, pain, ROM, shoulder strength, shoulder Proprioception & disability were recorded
Aspect-based sentiment analysis on current state of the market by classifying customer product reviews using support vector machine with several kernel learning
Get PDFAspect-based Sentiment Analysis identifies a customer's feelings about a given product feature. Aspect-based analysis is often used in product analytics to keep track of how a product is regarded by customers and what its strengths and weaknesses are. Product analytics is a subset of the classification problem. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a technology that can effectively tackle classification problems. In fact, SVM is a linear classifier, which implies it can only be used to classify data that is linearly separable. This approach should be enhanced with kernel learning to categorize non-linear separable data. This suggested system would create a classification model based on the Support Vector Machine, which will be updated with multiple kernel learning techniques and applied to a market data set for analytics. Sentiment Analysis examines a product's perception and market comprehension via the prism of sentiment data. To study customers, the proposed aspect-based sentiment analysis includes three levels of content analysis and four categories of opinions on a market data set

A new complex SEL integral transform and its applications on ordinary differential equations
Get PDFThis paper introduces a new complex integral transformation obtained by inserting a complex parameter into the well-known Rangaig integral transform kernel function. The new integral transform is denoted by the acronym SEL and is called the Complex (Serifenur-Emad-Luay) integral transform. The proposed SEL integral transform features are explained and shown to correspond to some fundamental functions. The application of the SEL transform to finding the solution of some differential equations, including those arising in some real-world practical applications, is discussed as an illustration of the actual fields that could benefit from this novel transform
