Antioxidant Action and Therapeutic Efficacy of Allium sativum L.
No full textAllium sativum (L.) is rich in antioxidants which help destroy free radicals particles that can damage cell membranes and DNA, and may contribute to the aging process as well as the development of a number of conditions, including heart disease and cancer. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause over time. The antioxidant activity of fresh Allium sativum L. (garlic) is well known and is mainly due to unstable and irritating organosulphur compounds. Fresh garlic extracted over a prolonged period (up to 20 months) produces odourless aged garlic extract (AGE) containing stable and water soluble organosulphur compounds that prevent oxidative damage by scavenging free radicals. The aim of this review was to understand the mechanism of antioxidant action and therapeutic efficacy of garlic
Big Tech corporations and AI: A Social License to Operate and Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships in the Digital Age
No full textThe pervasiveness of AI-empowered technologies across multiple sectors has led to drastic changes concerning traditional social practices and how we relate to one another. Moreover, market-driven Big Tech corporations are now entering public domains, and concerns have been raised that they may even influence public agenda and research. Therefore, this chapter focuses on assessing and evaluating what kind of business model is desirable to incentivise the AI for Social Good (AI4SG) factors. In particular, the chapter explores the implications of this discourse for SDG #17 (global partnership) and how this goal may encourage Big Tech corporations to strengthen multi-stakeholder partnerships that promote effective public-private and civil society partnerships and the meaningful co-presence of non-market and market values. In doing so, the chapter proposes an analysis of the sociological notion of "social license to operate" (SLO) elaborated in the mining and extractive industry literature and introduces it into the discourse on sustainable digital business models and responsible management of risks in the digital age. This serves to explore how such a social license can be adopted as a practice by digital business models to foster trust, collaboration and coordination among different actors - AI researchers and initiatives, institutions and civil society at large - for the support of SDGs interrelated targets and goals
New data on Pankowskichthys libanicus (Pycnodontiformes, Gladiopycnodontidae), a fossil fish from the marine Upper Cretaceous of Lebanon
No full textA male specimen of Pankowskichthys libanicus is described and compared with the holotype of the species, considered as a female. The comparison with Ducrotayichthys cornutus is also done
New data on the osteology and relationships of Flagellipinna rhomboides, a pycnodont fish (Pycnodontidae) from the Cenomanian (Upper Cretaceous) of Lebanon
No full textThe skeleton of the fossil fish Flagellipinna rhomboides, a Pycnodontidae from the marine Cenomanian (Late Cretaceous) of Lebanon, is described and its systematic position within the family discussed. The frontal is short, curved and broad. The brush-like process of the parietal is shortened. The neural and haemal arches are in hyper-complex contact. The last neural spines before the tail are vestigial. The anal fin contains 50 to 53 pterygiophores. The caudal fin is vertical. Three hypochordals are hypertrophied. There are bar-scales not only in the abdominal but also in the caudal region of the body. All these evolved characters clearly indicate that F. rhomboides belongs to the Nursalliini, a specialized tribe of the subfamily Pycnodontinae
A new insight into the Protobramidae (Teleostei, Tselfatiiformes), a fossil fish family from the marine Cenomanian (Upper Cretaceous) of Lebanon
No full textThe study of new specimens of Abisaadichthys and Eusebichthys, two genera belonging to the Protobramidae (Tselfatiiformes), a teleost family from the marine Cenomanian (Upper Cretaceous) of Lebanon, gives a better knowledge of the skeleton of these fishes. The discovery of a pelvic girdle in thoracic position in Eusebichthys allows a better understanding of the phylogeny within the family
Comments on the phylogenetic relationships of Pholidorhynchodon malzannii and Eurycormus speciosus (Teleostei, "Pholidophoriformes"), two Mesozoic tropical fishes
No full textThe phylogenetic relationships of Pholidorhynchodon malzannii and Eurycormus speciosus, two Mesozoic teleosts of the "Pholidophoriformes" lineage, are commented on the basis of the available osteological data. To conclude, the belonging of Pholidorhynchodon to the Pholidophoridae sensu stricto is contested and the genus is ranged within the family Ankylophoridae. It is also shown that Eurycormus is more evolved than Catervariolus and not less evolved, as thought by some. Anatomical arguments are developed that militate for the inclusion of Eurycormus in the family Ankylophoridae
Osteology and relationships of Lebrunichthys nammourensis gen. And sp. nov. (Teleostei, Crossognathiformes, Pachyrhizodontidae), a fossil fish from the marine Upper Cretaceous of Lebanon
No full textThe osteology and the relationships of Lebrunichthys nammourensis gen. and sp. nov., a new pachyrhizodontid fish from the marine Upper Cenomanian of Lebanon, are studied in details. The new genus belongs to the subgroup of Pachyrhizodontidae having a posterior pointed process on the pterotic. The characters of the caudal skeleton indicate that Lebrunichthys occupies an intermediate systematic position between Stanhopeichthys, one the one hand, and all the other genera of the subgroup, on the other hand
Osteology and relationships of Stanhopeichthys libanicus gen. And sp. nov. (Teleostei, Crossognathiformes, Pachyrhizodontidae) from the marine Cenomanian (Upper Cretaceous) of Lebanon
No full textThe osteology and the relationships of Stanhopeichthys libanicus gen. and sp. nov., a new pachyrhizodontid fish from the marine Upper Cenomanian of Hgula (Lebanon), are studied in details. The new genus belongs to the subgroup of Pachyrhizodontidae having a posterior pointed process on the pterotic. With the three last caudal vertebrae not fused, seven autogenous hupurals, three epurals and three uroneurals, Stanhopeichthys exhibits the less evolved caudal skeleton within that subgroup. Stanhopeichthys and the Italian genus Nardopiscis share a specialized character not present in other pachyrhizodontid fishes. Their two parietals are separated from each other by the posterior narrow region of the frontals and not by the supraoccipital
