EVALUATION OF TOTAL PHENOLIC AND FLAVONOID CONTENT IN GONAD OF SEA URCHIN Stomopneustes variolaris AND SEAWEEDS
No full textThe Phenolic and Flavonoids are bioactive compounds which exhibit several biological effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-hepatotoxic and anti-ulcer actions. In the present study total phenolic and flavonoid content was estimated in the gonads of sea urchin Stomopneustes variolaris collected from Arokiyapuram, Kanyakumari dt. (Tamilnadu, India). Seaweeds collected from the feeding grounds of S. variolaris were also analyzed for total phenolic and flavonoid content. The total phenolic and flavonoid content of the gonad was 59.3±3.4 and 18±1.3 mg/100 g tissue respectively. In seaweeds, phenolic content was ranged from 12.5±2.1 (Chaetomorpha media) to 16.4±2.1 mg GAE/100 g (Stoechospermum marginatum). Total flavonoid content in Sargassum wightii, Stoechospermum marginatum (Brown algae), Gracilaria corticata, G. verrucosa (Red algae), Chaetomorpha media, Enteromorpha compressa, Ulva lactuca (Green algae) were 4.1±1.2, 4.3±1.0, 3.7±1.4, 4.1±0.5, 3.2± 1.1, 4.0± 0.4 and 4.0± 0.5 mg RE/100 g respectively

No full textA question invariably recurs in discussions about corporate reputation: are they cause,consequence, or epiphenomenon? That is: do they have an independent causal effect oncorporate performance; are they a consequence of good financial performance? Or are theyan incidental by-product?

A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol for the Immediate Effect of Chandra Namaskar on Cardiovascular Autonomic Function among Healthy Individuals
No full textBackground: Chandra Namaskar, a dynamic yoga practice incorporating unique postures and breathing patterns, is believed to improve flexibility, cognition, and concentration, and enhance sympathovagal balance. However, its immediate effects on cardiovascular autonomic function remain underexplored. This study aims to investigate the acute impact of Chandra Namaskar on heart rate variability (HRV), critical flicker fusion frequency (CFFF), and reaction time among healthy individuals.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial will involve 60 healthy participants aged 18-25 years. Participants will be randomly allocated to either the Chandra Namaskar intervention group or the supine relaxation control group. HRV will be assessed at baseline, during, and immediately after the intervention using a 16-channel polygraph. CFFF and reaction time will be evaluated at baseline and post-intervention. Statistical analysis will be performed to compare the outcomes between the two groups.
Discussion: This study protocol aims to provide high-quality clinical evidence on the potential benefits of Chandra Namaskar in improving cardiovascular autonomic function and cognitive performance. The findings may contribute to the development of effective strategies for enhancing overall health and well-being through this accessible yoga practice

Mixed ligand complexes of NiII ion with 1,1-dicarboethoxyethylene-2,2-dithiolate [DED2- = {S2C=C(COOC2H5)2}2-) as a primary ligand and a-phenylenediamine (OPD), pyridine (py), α-picoline (α-pic), β-picoline (β-pic) or y-picoline (y-pic) as secondary ligands have been isolated and characterized by analytical data, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, electronic, infrared and fluorescence spectral studies. The molar conductance data reveal that the complexes have non-electrolytic nature in DMF solution. Magnetic and electronic spectral studies suggest distorted octahedral stereochemistry around NiII ion in its complexes. Infrared spectral studies suggest bidentate chelating behaviour of DED2- ion and OPD while other ligands show unidentate behaviour in their complexes. These complexes show fluorescence at room temperature in solid state
Identifying the cognitive functions using reaction time — a futuristic approach
No full textWe read the article of Ghuntla, T.P., & Dholakiya, J.R. (2023) entitled A meta-analysis of influence of yoga activities on reaction time as a component of skill related fitness with great interest and gathered knowledge. They included five relevant articles, with yoga activities showing a standardized mean difference (SMD) of 3.06 (95% CI: −0.66–6.78, p < 0.01) for VRT and 2.86 (95% CI: −0.37–6.09, p < 0.01) for ART. These results highlight the potential of yoga as an effective means to enhance reaction times, with implications for sports performance and skill-related tasks.¹ The limited number of studies included in the meta-analysis may be attributed to the lack of portable reaction time (RT) devices. However, a recent development device called the PC 1000 Hz portable RT device has been validated² for estimating both visual reaction time (VRT) and auditory reaction time (ART),² and the findings are consistent. Several studies have utilized this device in various yoga interventions, reporting significant changes and affirming its simplicity, user-friendliness, and reliability. These findings pave the way for future research on yoga-related studies, leveraging this innovative technology.³-
