Roselle And Red Ginger: A Potential Combination Of Medicinal Plants For Hypertension Therapy, Ranum Wanudya Yunas, Siti Irma Rahmawati, Fadlina Chany Saputri, Asep Bayu, Giuseppina Chianese, Masteria Yunovilsa Putra

Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research

Hypertension is a prevalent cardiovascular condition that significantly increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Effective management is essential to prevent severe complications. Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) and red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) are two medicinal plants known for their antihypertensive properties. Roselle contains bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins that exhibit vasodilatory and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, while red ginger is rich in gingerols and shogaols, which possess anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory properties. The complementary mechanisms of action of these two plants, including ACE inhibition, antioxidant activity, and modulation of vascular tone, result in a more …

Anthocyanin-Rich Extract From Purple Sweet Potatoes Modified Body Weight, Visceral Fat And Circulatory Il-10 In Stressed-Mice, Nia Kurnianingsih, Oktivani Adelathifa Rahma, Nabila Putri Prayogo, Qanitha Ailsya Rayhanna, Agwin Fahmi Fahanani, Ratih Paramita Suprapto, Ardani Galih Prakosa, Retty Ratnawati

Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research

Stress-induced inflammation and oxidative stress mechanisms thus plant bioactive compounds as anti-inflammation and antioxidants are placed as novel strategies to resist the adverse effects of stress. Purple sweet potatoes (PSP) as a rich source of macronutrients and anthocyanin showed health benefits as neuroprotective and metabolic diseases. However, limited research explored the effect of PSP extract on stressed animal models. This study aimed to evaluate the bioactive compound analysis of PSP and the effect on body weight gain (BW), visceral fat (VF), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) of stressed model mice. Adult male BALB/c mice (6-8 weeks) were divided into control (CTRL), and …

Investigating The Bioactivity Potential And Standardization Of Two Stingless Bee Propolis From East Kalimantan, Paula Mariana Kustiawan, Muhammad Ali Syahbana, Rika Pratika, Muhammad Nor Ichsan, Ika Ayu Mentari, Indah Hairunnisa, Irfan Muris Setiawan, Putri Hawa Syaifie, Donny Ramadhan, Chanpen Chanchao

Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research

The standardization of raw materials from nature is essential before they are made into products. Until now, there is still limited information regarding the standardization of propolis from stingless bees. This research aims to determine the bioactivity with standardized specific and non-specific parameters of ethanol extracts from Homotrigona apicalis and Homotrigona fimbriata propolis. The methods include organoleptic tests, tests for water-soluble and ethanol-soluble compound content, drying shrinkage tests, specific gravity tests, water content tests, metal contamination tests, phytochemical screening, and determining total phenolic and flavonoid content. The free radical scavenging capacity was measured using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method, and antimicrobial …

Utilizing Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia Crassipes) From Srandakan Bantul, Indonesia For ‘Bright Fever Patch’ As An Alternative Children’S Fever Therapy, Anggita Kamalia Niswara, Nabillah Ainun Kusrinanti, Rizqi Amalia Firdaus, Azis Ikhsanudin

Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research

In 2022, Indonesia experienced a public health crisis involving acute kidney failure in children, traced to paracetamol syrup contaminated with ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol. This underscores the urgent need for safer antipyretic alternatives. This study investigates the antipyretic potential of transdermal patches formulated with ethanol extract of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) leaves sourced from Srandakan, Bantul, Yogyakarta. Extract concentrations of 0.8%, 1.0%, and 1.2% were tested, alongside a negative control (no extract) and a positive control (paracetamol). The patches underwent evaluations for organoleptic properties, weight uniformity (0.41±0.02 to 0.52±0.02 g), thickness (0.36±0.03 to 0.41±0.03 mm), water absorption …

A Mother's Understanding Of Her Adolescent: A Social Anxiety Study, Cheronda Pinkard

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Social anxiety disorder (SAD) affects 1% to 13% of adolescents, often placing significant demands on their caregivers. Mothers frequently adapt their behaviors to accommodate their child’s anxiety, which may impact their well-being and the parent-child relationship. This qualitative study explored the lived experiences of mothers accommodating adolescents with SAD to understand better the emotional and relational toll of this caregiving role. The problem addressed is the limited understanding of how maternal accommodation affects mothers. Mental health practitioners, educators, and policymakers may benefit from this research by gaining insight into these families' challenges and informing family-centered interventions and support services. Guided …

Molecular Mechanism Governing The Plasticity Of Use-Dependent Spike Broadening In Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons, Tyler D. Alexander, Stephen Tymanskyj, Kyle J. Kennedy, Leonard K. Kaczmarek, Manuel Covarrubias

SKMC Student Presentations and Publications

Use-dependent spike broadening (UDSB) results from inactivation of the voltage-gated K+ (Kv) channels that regulate the repolarization of the action potential. However, the specific signaling and molecular processes that modulate UDSB have remained elusive. Here, we applied an adeno-associated viral vector approach and dynamic clamping to conclusively demonstrate how multisite phosphorylation of the N-terminal inactivation domain (NTID) of the Kv3.4 channel modulates UDSB in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. The Kv3.4 phosphonull variant promotes slow recovery from inactivation, cumulative inactivation, and UDSB. In contrast, the Kv3.4 phosphomimic variant promotes fast recovery from inactivation and robust resistance to cumulative inactivation …

Exclusion Within Inclusive Education Policy: The Challenges Facing Urban Refugees In Accessing Education In Thailand, Mst Umme Habiba Fahmina Karim Dr.

Indonesia Law Review

Despite Thailand’s adoption of the Education for All policy in 2005, which grants all children, including refugees, access to free public education, refugee children largely remain excluded. Camp-based refugees attend informal, unrecognized education programs, while urban refugee children are categorised with migrant children in enrollment data. In 2023, only 34% of legal migrant children were enrolled in public schools, while refugees—often classified as "illegal migrants"—are either left out or attend unofficial community schools. This study examines the gap between policy and practice by exploring the experiences of urban refugees and perspectives of key stakeholders, including refugees, government agencies, and humanitarian …

International Economic Agreements As Impediments To Carbon Tax Climate Change Mitigation: Is The Un Framework Tax Convention The Way Forward?, Edwin Vanderbruggen

Indian Journal of International Economic Law

This article outlines some of the international legal impediments to domestic environmental tax policies in furtherance of climate change mitigation, i.e. certain WTO rules on trade in goods, fuel tax exemptions in aviation treaties, and tax stabilisation provisions that are protected under the umbrella clause of investment treaties. It argues that international action is the most effective and often the only option to address those legal obstacles. The emergence of the United Nations Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation (‘FTC’) is, in that regard, a timely development. Given the central institutional role UN-related bodies already have in climate change, sea …

In many areas of the world, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions, groundwater is the primary source of fresh water, and it supplies around one-third of the world's fresh water. Agriculture is the primary economic sector on the coast in the southern district (Nowshera). More food productivity is required due to the expanding population and diminishing agricultural lands, which increases the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers in farming. The current study was conducted in northwestern parts of Pakistan to evaluate the impacts of the frequent use of pesticides and fertilizers in agricultural fields. Nine hydrogeological parameters were considered, and …
