: Carrot ( Daucus carota L.) and cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L.) are underutilized root vegetable and fruit belonging to the Apiaceae and Cucurbitaceae family, respectively. A comparative study was carried out on proximate composition, amino acid profile and anti–nutritional factors of Daucus carota and Cucumis sativus . The proximate composition values (%) for Daucus carota and Cucumis sativus were found to be as follows: Moisture (5.06 and 4.39), ash (7.75 and 15.26), crude fat (6.09 and 4.83), crude fibre (13.04 and 18.25), crude protein (9.39 and 14.39) and carbohydrate by difference (58.67 and 42.90). The calculated fatty acids and metabolizable energy values were 4.87 and 3.86%; 1382.35 and 1152.64 kJ 100/g, respectively. The amino acid profiles revealed that Daucus carota and Cucumis sativus contained nutritionally useful quantities of most of the essential amino acids. The total amino acid (TAA), total essential amino acid (TEAA) (with His), total sulphur amino acid (TSAA) and essential aromatic amino acid (EArAA) for the Daucus carota and Cucumis sativus samples were 82.36 and 64.14; 22.93 and 30.11; 1.26 and 1.71; 2.13 and 2.66, respectively. However, supplementation of essential amino acids is required in a dietary formula based on the flour samples of Daucus carota and Cucumis sativus when comparing the EAAs in this report with the recommended FAO/WHO provisional pattern. The first limiting EAA in both samples was Met and Cys (TSAA). The antinutrient contents of Daucus carota and Cucumis sativus were also found to be as follows: Oxalate (241.67 and 142.45 mg/100 g), saponin (0.22 and 0.91%), alkaloids (2.85 and 2.23%), tannins (329.03 and 254.45 mg/100 g), cyanide (4.01 and 3.03 mg/100 g) and phytate (616.41 and 349.62 mg/100 g). These antinutritional factors have been shown to be deleterious to health or evidently advantageous to human and animal health if consumed at appropriate amounts.

The use of contraceptive methods is of extreme importance to family planning and the prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Such infections are transmitted through sexual (vaginal, anal and oral) contact and can be prevented with the adequate use of a condom. The present cross-sectional study was conducted with medical students at a teaching institution in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, involving the application of an online questionnaire for the analysis of the type of contraceptive method and reasons for the choice of method. The prevalence of contraceptive methods during the first sexual relation was 86.9%; 7.59% of the women and 13.2% of the men who answered the questionnaire reported not using contraceptive methods during the first relation. Regarding current sexual relations, 70.2% of the students who declared an active sex life reported using a male condom and 4.3% reported using a female condom, which are important contraceptive methods that also serve for the prevention of STIs. In conclusion, the majority of medical students had initiated a sexual life and used contraceptive methods beginning with the first relation. The male condom was the most widely used among the respondents, followed by anti-conceptional methods.

Background:Tendon sheath giant cell tumor（GCT-TS） is an extremely rare tumor with highly nonspecific symptoms. It usually originates in the tendon sheath and periarticular soft tissue of the facet joint. Rarely involve the large joints that occur around the knees, ankles, elbows, and hip joints. The benign but aggressive disease progresses slowly. However, it can eventually lead to irreversible damage to the joint. Cace presensent: we briefly describe a misdiagnosed case of a giant cell tumor of the unilateral tendon sheath of the ankle joint. A 77-year-old man developed swelling in his ankle, which though mild, affected his walking gait and quality of life. At present, Conclusion:giant cell tumor of tendon sheath of ankle joint is very rare, and its clinical manifestations are not obvious, and it is often easy to be wrongly diagnosed. MRI is the best examination method to determine the scope of soft tissue destruction, and pathological examination is the most important means to diagnose giant cell tumor of tendon sheath at present.

The reform of China’s college entrance examination requires the transformation of the educational concept from "examination-oriented education" to "professional talent training", which challenges the ability of high school teachers and students to collect and process information about majors and related industries. However, due to the limitation of high school education resources, its subject career guidance cannot break through the information barrier independently, which provides an opportunity for universities to carry out vertical inter-school cooperation and seek multi-dimensional interests under the systematic cultivation of law talents. The interaction mechanism is designed based on the demand characteristics of high school students, vertical cooperation management docking mode, and information exchange community. On this basis, it includes the annual practice of legal practice experience, sharing of graduate school level scientific research projects, moot court, legal clinic, one-way annual lecture, alumni return visit, undergraduate classroom experience, and other forms of activities. Although the development of interactive mechanism needs decentralization and incentive, only by being supervised, fully protecting students' rights and interests, and respecting education fairness can it exist in the long run.

The authors discuss contradictions between the principal branches of the modern physical picture of the universe. Space and time have been shown in the Unitary Quantum Theory (UQT) not to be connected one with the other, unlike in the Special Theory of Relativity. In UQT, time becomes Newtonian again, and the growth of the particle’s mass with growing speed proceeds from other considerations of physics. Unlike the quantum theory, the modern gravitation theory (the general theory of relativity) is not confirmed by experiments and needs to be considerably revised.

In developing countries, poor agricultural performance is largely responsible for the recurring phenomenon of food insecurity. Crops have low productivity due to many constraints not only socioeconomic but also biotic and abiotic. Research has shown that productivity is influenced by health, and the present study specifically analyzes the impact of malaria on agricultural production of households in the river valley. This article provides the results of a prospective cohort study. A total of 180 households were followed over a period of one year. The study shows that malaria affects the performance of agricultural households. In fact the negative impact of malaria on irrigated production is statically significant (P=0.000) there is a strong negative correlation between malaria and irrigated production (-0.757). In other hand the relative risk (3.17) calculated in the 95% confidence interval (CI) shows the presence of a positive association between catastrophic expenditure and agricultural yield with a value of P (12.10-7) which is significantly lower at 0.001. The average cumulative incidence of malaria in Households and the period during which the sick leave occurred also influences the performance.

Strongyloidiasis is caused by Strongyloides stercoralis, an endemic parasite in tropical regions of the world. The symptoms are mostly indolent and related to the gastrointestinal tract, however in immunosuppressed individuals, the disease can escalate to critical conditions due to a hyperinfection. This study aims to report a case of an elderly patient in oncologic treatment for a laryngeal cancer, who presented a perforated acute abdomen that required emergency laparotomy with an enterectomy, whose anatomopathological analysis revealed an important Strongyloides infection.

This study focuses on the nutrient, antinutrient and sugar contents of (desert date) Balanites aegyptiaca seed and pulp collected from north–east Nigeria. Proximate, mineral, amino acid, antinutrient and sugar compositions were determined using standard analytical techniques. The calculated parameters were metabolized energy, mineral safety index (MSI), mineral ratios of some minerals, isoelectric point (pI), predicted protein efficiency ratio (P–PER) and leucine to isoleucine ratio. The results showed that seed was very rich in crude protein and crude fat with values of 30.80 and 45.53 g/100 g dry weight basis, respectively whereas, the pulp had values of 8.36 and 5.10 g/100 g dw for the same parameters. The following were observed as the most concentrated minerals: P (312.72 and 138.62 mg/100 g dw), Na (58.49 and 47.65 mg/100 g dw) and Ca (48.57 and 40.26 mg/100 g dw) for seed and pulp, respectively. Other minerals analyzed in the samples had values less than 15.0 mg/100 g. No mineral had deleterious value in the MSI. Amino acid analysis of seed and pulp showed concentrations of TAA (63.21 and 42.62 g/100 g cude protein), TEAA (26.19 and 21.88 g/100 g cp) and TNEAA ((26.19 and 21.88 g/100 g cp). Leucine (7.30 g/100 g cp) and Arg (3.69 g/100 g cp) were the most concentrated essential amino acids in seed and pulp. The phytate, tannin and oxalate concentrations were higher in seed compared with that of the pulp. All the sugars were of low levels. Generally, Balanites aegyptiaca seed and pulp contained nutritive minerals and sufficient proportions of EAAs however, dietary formula based on samples of the seed and pulp will require EAAs supplementation except in Leu, TSAA and Phe + Tyr of the seed. Likewise, the high contents of some of the antinutrients may pose a nutritional problem in their consumption.
本研究主要对采自尼日利亚东北部的埃及巴兰(Balanites aegyptiaca)种子和果肉的营养成分、抗营养成分和糖含量进行了研究。比邻物、矿物质、氨基酸、抗营养成分和糖成分采用标准分析技术测定。计算参数为代谢能、矿物安全指数(MSI)、部分矿物比、等电点(pI)、预测蛋白质效率(P-PER)和亮氨酸/异亮氨酸比。结果表明，在相同条件下，种子的粗蛋白质和粗脂肪含量分别为30.80和45.53 g/100 g dw，果肉的粗蛋白质和粗脂肪含量分别为8.36和5.10 g/100 g dw。种子和果肉中P(312.72和138.62 mg/100 g dw)、Na(58.49和47.65 mg/100 g dw)和Ca(48.57和40.26 mg/100 g dw)含量最高。样品中分析的其他矿物质的值低于15.0毫克/100克。在MSI中没有矿物具有有害价值。氨基酸分析显示，种子和果肉的TAA(63.21和42.62 g/100 g蛋白质)、TEAA(26.19和21.88 g/100 g cp)和TNEAA(26.19和21.88 g/100 g cp)的浓度分别为63.21和42.62 g/100 g cp。亮氨酸(7.30 g/100 g cp)和精氨酸(3.69 g/100 g cp)是种子和果肉中含量最高的必需氨基酸。种子中植酸盐、单宁酸盐和草酸盐的含量高于果肉。所有的糖含量都很低。一般情况下，埃及巴兰种子和果肉均含有营养矿物质和足够比例的eaa，但基于种子和果肉样品的日粮配方中，除了种子的Leu、TSAA和Phe + Tyr外，还需要添加eaa。同样，一些抗营养素的高含量在食用时可能会造成营养问题。

This manuscript is continuation of our previous work, where we have analyzed different variants of SARS-CoV-2 virus (UK, South African, Brazilian, and Indian (Kappa)) using Resonant Recognition Model (RRM), which is biophysical model capable to analyze protein function and interaction. We have previously identified correlation between infectivity of these SARS-CoV-2 virus variants with strength of signal at RRM characteristic frequencies for each variant. Here, we have extended this analysis for Delta (Indian) SARS-CoV-2 virus variant, which is extremely infectious and is rapidly spreading around the World. Our results with Delta (Indian) variant are in complete agreement with our previous RRM proposition that viral infectivity is proportional to strength of signal at RRM characteristic frequency. These results can explain why Delta (Indian) variant is more infectious. With strong correlation obtained in all these examples, we can propose here that RRM model can be used as general tool to analyze infectivity of mutated virus variants.

We have previously identified correlation between infectivity of these SARS-CoV-2 virus variants with strength of signal at RRM characteristic frequencies for each variant. Here, we have extended this analysis for Delta (Indian) SARS-CoV-2 virus variant, which is extremely infectious and is rapidly spreading around the World. Our results with Delta (Indian) variant are in complete agreement with our previous RRM proposition that viral infectivity is proportional to strength of signal at RRM characteristic frequency. These results can explain why Delta (Indian) variant is more infectious. With strong correlation obtained in all these examples, we can propose here that RRM model can be used as general tool to analyze infectivity of mutated virus variants.","PeriodicalId":14423,"journal":{"name":"International journal of sciences","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91282730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
