Taking into account India\u27s multifaceted and intricate geopolitical landscape, the study utilises a methodical approach to examine a wide range of Indian newspapers.
This research paper investigates the topic of mass media bias in the context of Indian newspapers using the Content Analysis approach in a thorough manner. The research findings contribute to a more sophisticated understanding of mass media bias in the Indian context where Commoners have been largely covered throughout the research findings, biases for multiple content actors\u27 portrayal, the degree of political impact, moral implications of media coverage, the ethics of journalism, and the influence of skewed information regarding content actors on public opinion have been discussed with respect to India
votess: A multi-target, GPU-capable, parallel Voronoi tessellator
No full textvotess is a library for computing parallel 3D Voronoi tessellations on heterogeneous platforms, from CPUs and GPUs, to future accelerator architectures. To do so, it leverages the SYCL abstraction layer to achieve portability and performance across these architectures. The core library is an implementation of a Voronoi cell-by-cell computation algorithm, producing the geometry of the cells and their neighbor connectivity information, rather than a full combinatorial mesh data structure. This simplifies the Voronoi tessellation and makes it more suitable to data parallel architectures than alternatives such as sequential insertion or the Bowyer-Watson algorithm. The library demonstrates significant performance improvements over established single-threaded programs and serves as a foundational tool for performance-critical applications, such as on-the-fly computations in hydrodynamical codes.submitted to Journal of Open Source Software; open-source development at https://github.com/samridh-dev/votess.git; Comment: fixed author typ

Elisabeth Meru – A Prolific Author and a Devoted Sikh Proponent
No full textElisabeth Meru, born in Hamburg, is a poetess by heart, a storyteller by nature, a forwarding merchant / financial accountant by training, and a Sikh by choice. She is currently settled in Munich, Germany. During the past three decades, she has authored numerous short stories, articles, and poetic compositions for various newspapers, journals, and radio broadcasts. With over a dozen books, both in English and German languages, to her credit to date, she is a prolific author who specializes in writing on Sikh history, tradition, and culture. Her 24-year-long spiritual quest brought her to the Gurdwara in Munich, wherein she heard Gurbani Kirtan for the first time. Therein she felt as if she had reached home. After continuous devotion and dedication to Sikhi for about seven years, she converted to Sikhism. Due to her love for Sikhi, Punjabi and Punjabiat, she learned Gurmukhi. Her first book in German, “Aus dem Herzen des Sikhismus - Guru Nanak Dev Ji - In deinem stillen Rosengarten” was published in 2009. The English version of the book "From the Heart of Sikhism - Guru Nanak Dev Ji - In your quiet rose garden" was published in 2010. These books describe the legends about the ten Gurus, their wisdom and teachings, and her poems, fables and a fairytale in German style. Elisabeth’s second set of books “Sikhism - Wellspring of Love” (in English) and “Sikhismus - Quell der Liebe” (in German), were published in 2010. This book contains her poems and stories about Sikhism. The stories are rooted in the spirit of fairy tales. Her next book, in German, “Sikhs und Sikhismus: Religion, Riten und der Goldene Tempel ” was published in 2011. In Feb. 2012,she with her team published the German edition of “Guru Granth Sahib Ji Essenz und Sikh Terminologie von A - Z.” It is a must-book for German-speaking Sikhs and all those who want a quick overview of basic terms in Sikhism. Another of her book, in German, “Sikhs ... der Bart ist ab,” was published in 2017
Probiotics: Microbial Therapy for Health Modulation
Get PDFThe human gastrointestinal tract is a complex ecosystem that harbours a rich and diversemicroflora. These microbes live in harmony with the host and exert various beneficial effects onhuman health by their metabolic activities. However, in our modern life style, frequent andindiscriminate use of antibiotics has disturbed this microbial ecosystem, resulting in occurrenceof various bowel diseases. Some live microbial food supplements can re-establish this microbialecosystem. Such a group of microorganisms, which positively influences the intestinal microbiotaby stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria and suppressing the harmful ones, is collectivelyknown as probiotics. These have been consumed in the form of fermented milk products forcenturies. However, scientific interest in their use for health maintenance and disease preventionhas emerged over the past few years only.Various scientific evidences show that probiotics help to reduce several disorders includingdiarrhea, inflammatory bowel diseases, urinary tract infections, hypertension, allergies, and cancer.Besides, probiotics exert several other benefits also to human beings and animals. Importantissues in the probiotic therapy include selection of appropriate strain, its viability during storage,gut persistence potential and functional properties. Another category involved in gut health isprebiotics. These are non-digestible food ingredients, which beneficially affect the host byselectively stimulating the growth or activity of one or a limited number of beneficial bacteriain the colon. This review paper highlights the major health benefits of probiotic organisms,mechanisms of their action, criteria of selection, enumeration, and safety of their use for humanhealth
Biological Warfare Agents
Get PDFThere is a long historic record of use of biological warfare (BW) agents by warring countriesagainst their enemies. However, the frequency of their use has increased since the beginningof the twentieth century. World war I witnessed the use of anthrax agent against human beingsand animals by Germans, followed by large-scale field trials by Japanese against war prisonersand Chinese population during world war II. Ironically, research and development in biologicalwarfare agents increased tremendously after the Geneva Protocol, signed in 1925, because ofits drawbacks which were overcome by Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) in1972. Biological warfare programme took back seat after the 1972 convention but biologicalagents regained their importance after the bioterrorist attacks of anthrax powder in 2001. In thelight of these attacks, many of which turned out to be hoax, general awareness is required aboutbiological warfare agents that can be used against them. This review has been written highlightingimportant biological warfare agents, diseases caused by them, possible therapies and otherprotection measures
Heterologous expression of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (seb) gene for antibody production
Get PDFStaphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) is caused by the members of superantigen family called staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs). About 20 different types of SEs are produced by Staphylococcus aureus out of which type A (SEA), B (SEB), C (SEC) and D (SED) are commonly implicated in SFP. Among these, SEB is the most potent toxin and has also gained the status of biological warfare (BW) agent. Therefore, detection of SEB is of utmost importance. Any immunological detection system for SEB requires specific and sensitive antibodies which inturn depends on the purity of the SEB. In the present investigation, seb gene of S. aureus was cloned and expressed in E. coli along with biotin as fusion partner to facilitate the purification process. The yield of purified recombinant SEB was 13.1 mg/L of culture broth. Biotin tag from the biotinylated toxin was removed by protease cleavage, and both biotinylated and non-biotinylated toxin types were used for raising hyperimmune antiserum. Antisera were also specific for SEB amongst different kinds of food poisoning agents tested by indirect plate ELISA and western blot analysis. The quality of the antisera raised in this study was found superior to the commercially available antiserum. The investigation suggests that construction of recombinant staphylococcal enterotoxin B is a good alternative for production of pure enterotoxin to be used in antibody generation
