ABSTRACT:

The distinct morphologies and functional properties of nanocellulose, which includes cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), and amorphous nanocellulose, are determined by the sources and methods of extraction. NC exhibits enormous potential as a sustainable and renewable material in a variety of industrial sectors that are in line with environmental goals because of its high surface area, optical transparency, thermal stability, and capacity to form stable suspensions. The review describes the superior gas barrier qualities of dense, crystalline NC films under low to moderate relative humidity (RH) conditions by comparing the oxygen permeability (OP) and water vapor permeability (WVP) of NC films to those of conventional polymers. The limitations of NC films are examined in relation to porosity, crystallinity, processing techniques, and additives that affect barrier performance, especially the rise in permeability at higher RH brought on by plasticization and swelling effects. The sustainable nature of NC production is further highlighted by a review of environmental factors, such as energy consumption in mechanical fibrillation and chemical treatments to lower energy use. Overall, the study positions NC as a promising biomaterial with multipurpose capabilities in advanced material science by offering crucial insights into streamlining the production of nanocellulose films and customizing their properties for uses like electronics, biomedical devices, and sustainable packaging.

ABSTRACT:

William Butler Yeatsโ€™s โ€œThe Second Comingโ€ reflects postโ€“World War I chaos. It depicts moral inversion and apocalyptic violence as signs of a collapsing era and the rise of a dark new age. This article aims to identify and analyze moral inversion and apocalyptic violence in his poem โ€œThe Second Comingโ€. We employed a qualitative documentary research design to accomplish this study. Major poetic excerpts which reflect the moral inversion and apocalyptic violence in the poem functioned as the sources of primary data, whereas relevant books and peer-reviewed journal articles were used as the sources of qualitative secondary data. We applied a thematic analysis to interpret the primary data. The findings specify that this poem functions as a powerful metaphor for moral inversion and apocalyptic violence. The poem reflects the persistent erosion of ethical and democratic values. It shows that the โ€œlack of convictionโ€ among the virtuous is not merely a historical condition but a recurring phenomenon that shapes periods of social and political crisis. Yeats portrays a world where traditional virtues are systematically replaced by predatory chaos. This article emphasizes the enduring relevance of Yeatsโ€™s prophecy in understanding contemporary global crises. This study is academically significant as it analyzes Yeatsโ€™s portrayal of moral inversion and apocalyptic violence, and offers insights into the interplay between literature, ethics, and socio-political crises across historical and contemporary contexts. It will benefit scholars, students, and researchers of literature.

ABSTRACT:

Polypharmacy, defined as the concurrent use of multiple medications, has become an increasingly important issue in modern healthcare, particularly among elderly patients and individuals suffering from multiple chronic diseases. In India, the challenge of polypharmacy is more pronounced in rural and village settings due to limited healthcare resources, inadequate medication monitoring, and low levels of health literacy. Patients in rural areas frequently obtain medicines from different healthcare providers, local pharmacies, or through self-medication, which increases the risk of adverse drug reactions, drugโ€“drug interactions, and medication non-adherence. Patient counselling has emerged as an essential strategy to improve medication safety, enhance adherence, and promote rational drug use. This review aims to discuss the prevalence of polypharmacy in rural populations, associated clinical risks, and the critical role of patient counselling in improving therapeutic outcomes. Evidence from existing literature indicates that structured counselling interventions, particularly through pharmacists and primary healthcare workers, can significantly reduce medication errors and improve patient outcomes. Strengthening patient education and integrating counselling services into primary healthcare systems in rural areas may help mitigate the risks associated with polypharmacy.

ABSTRACT:

Artificial intelligence systems in current times experience severe ethical problems which include algorithmic bias issues and accountability problems and fairness issues that depend on Western utilitarian frameworks. The chapter introduces a new model which combines Indian ethical standards with dharma and karma to govern algorithmic decision-making systems. Dharma-based frameworks define righteous behavior through three principles which include contextual righteousness and relational duties and cosmic order (Rta) as their core values. The chapter uses conceptual analysis and case studies from healthcare and justice systems to show how dharma provides moral guidance for ethical AI design while karma theory establishes strong accountability systems through its tracking of actions and their corresponding results. The analysis shows that dharma-driven methods to problem-solving improve Western methods because they support multiple cultural traditions and specific situations and ongoing effects on society. The integration of Indian Knowledge Systems with contemporary AI governance creates a pathway that enables development of algorithmic systems which respect different knowledge systems while maintaining ethical standards and supporting technological progress.

ABSTRACT:

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) represent one of the most common bacterial infections globally, affecting approximately 150 million people annually. In Nigeria, empirical antibiotic therapy for UTIs is often guided by outdated or non-local resistance data, contributing to the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance. This study aimed to determine the etiologic spectrum of community-acquired urinary tract infections and establish local antibiotic susceptibility profiles in Owerri, Nigeria. A prospective laboratory-based study was conducted from January to December 2024. Clean-catch mid-stream urine samples were collected from 512 patients presenting with symptoms of UTI at primary healthcare centers in Owerri. Samples were processed using conventional culture techniques on cysteine lactose electrolyte deficient (CLED) and MacConkey agars. Significant bacteriuria was defined as โ‰ฅ10โต CFU/mL. Bacterial isolates were identified by standard biochemical tests, and antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method against commonly prescribed antibiotics. Of the 512 samples processed, 186 (36.3%) showed significant bacteriuria. The most prevalent uropathogen was Escherichia coli (48.9%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (16.7%), Staphylococcus saprophyticus (11.3%), Proteus mirabilis (8.6%), and Enterococcus faecalis (7.5%). High resistance rates were observed for amoxicillin-clavulanate (68.2%) and cotrimoxazole (62.9%). Moderate resistance was noted for ciprofloxacin (44.1%), while nitrofurantoin maintained good efficacy (84.4% susceptibility). Female patients, particularly those aged 25-44 years, showed higher prevalence of UTIs. The high resistance rates to commonly prescribed antibiotics underscore the necessity for regular local antimicrobial resistance surveillance and ongoing antibiotic stewardship programs in Owerri, Nigeria. Nitrofurantoin remains a viable option for empirical treatment of uncomplicated UTIs in this region, while amoxicillin-clavulanate and cotrimoxazole should be used with caution.
