The goal of this study is to understand how financial inclusion (FI) as influenced by Internet subscribers in India, affects India’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). This study makes use of secondary data that was collected from 16 Indian states and one Union Territory between the fiscal years of 2018 and 2020. The goal of this study has been investigated using panel data regression analysis (PDR). And the study’s findings indicate that wages received through MNREGA accounts and post office operating accounts under the supervision of Internet subscribers have a significant negative impact on India’s SDGs, demonstrating how financial inclusion is harming the country’s efforts to achieve sustainable development. This study suggests that it is important to pay attention to rural areas’ access to the digital environment and their degree of digital literacy. These findings imply that improving the MGNREGA program and employees’ pay might help the government alleviate poverty in India. Financial inclusion also depends heavily on financial literacy. The government should improve its digital infrastructure in rural and urban areas so that people there may better understand and utilize it given that it promotes financial inclusion, digitalization, economic advancement, rural development, and poverty reduction.

Outer membrane proteins of Pasteurella (P.) multocida have been known to be protective immunogens. Pasteurella lipoprotein E (PlpE) has been reported to be an important cross reactive outer membrane protein in P. multocida. The gene encoding the PlpE of P. multocida serotypes A: 3, B: 2and D: 1 was amplified from the genomic DNA. The amplified products were cloned and the nucleotide sequence was determined. Sequence analysis of the recombinant clones revealed a single open reading frame of 1,011 bp, 1,008 bp and 1,017 bp encoding a protein with a calculated molecular mass of 37.829 kDa, 37.389 kDa and 37.965 kDa for serotypes A:3, B: 2 and D: 1 respectively. The comparison of the plpE sequence in different capsular types revealed a high degree (>90%) of homology. Furthermore, the plpE gene of Haemorhhagic septicaemia causing serotype (B: 2) was expressed in E. coli and recombinant PlpE was strongly immunostained by antiserum against whole cell antigen,indicating that the protein is expressed in vivo.

Evaluation of Pharmacognostical Characters andComparative Morphoanatomical Study of Saussurea costus (Falc.) Lipchitzand Arctium lappa L. Roots

Ajay Kumar Singh Rawat,Madan Mohan Pandey,Subha Rastogi 한국생약학회 2007 Natural Product Sciences Vol.13 No.4

costus (Falc.) Lipchitz syn S. lappato the family Asteraceae is a well known medicinal plant which finds wide usage in different indigenous systemsof medicine of India, China, Korea & Tibet. In different folk medicines the rots of S. costus are used to treatvarious disorders like ulcer, stomachache, malaria, leprosy, dysentery and toothache. However due to overexploitation, it has become endangered and has become the concern of different governmental bodies in India.The increasing demand of this endangered Himalayan species has resulted in a situation where it is oftensubstituted, knowingly or unknowingly, by other morphologically similar species. Arctium lappa, belonging to thesame family, is one such plant that has often been found to be present in the market samples of ‘Kuth’. Thepresent study was thus carried out and morphoanatomical characters, physicochemical as well as chemicalparameters were developed for proper identification of roots of S. costus and its differenciation from A. lappa aswell as authentication of the commercial market samples. The detailed morphoanatomical studies revealed thatroots of S. costus can be distinguished from A. lappa on the basis of some important microscopial characters eg.S. costus, were absent in A. lappa.. Besides, the HPTLCfingerprint profile showed a distinct band at Rf. 0.72 in S. costus, which was totally absent in A. lappa and a bandat Rf 0.64 in A. lappa which was absent in S. costus Chlorogenic acid, used as a chemical marker for HPTLCanalysis, was estimated to be 0.077% in S. costus as compared to 0.107% in A. lappa. Thus these detailedpharmacognostical parameters can be successfully used to distinguish between roots of S. costus and A. lappa.KeywordsSaussurea costus, Arctium lappa, ‘Kuth’, ‘Jangali Kuth’, Pharmacognosy, Chlorogenic acid

Pal Ajay Kumar,Kumar Prasoon,Yadav Dhirendra,Kumar Awanish,Pahwa Harvinder Singh,Singh Krishna Kant 대한외상중환자외과학회 2022 Journal of Acute Care Surgery Vol.12 No.2

Transanal evisceration of the small bowel is a rare surgical emergency. Rectal perforation in such cases is usually due to an underlying rectal prolapse. We report a case of a middle aged (45 years) male with spontaneous rectal perforation and transanal evisceration of the small bowel. Approximately 150 cm of small bowel had eviscerated transanally and the patient required emergent abdominal exploration, reposition of the small bowel, and repair of the rectal perforation. Small bowel evisceration through the anal verge is an emergent condition and the aim was to prevent life threatening complications related to sepsis.

Sundeep Singh Saluja,Ajay Kumar,Hari Govind,Vaibhav Kumar Varshney,Rahul Khullar,Pramod Kumar Mishra 한국간담췌외과학회 2020 Annals of hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery Vol.24 No.2

Backgrounds/Aims: Proximal splenorenal shunt (PSRS) is usually done in symptomatic non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis (NCPF). The outcomes of splenectomy with endotherapy in non-bleeder NCPF patients has not been well studied. We here by aimed to study the post-surgical outcomes on short and long-term basis between PSRS and splenectomy among non-bleeder NCPF patients. Methods: The consecutive non-bleeder NCPF patients whom underwent either splenectomy or PSRS from 2008 to 2016 were enrolled. The patients were followed up post-surgery clinically and biochemical investigations, Doppler ultrasound and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were done as required. The peri-operative parameters compared were operative time, blood loss, hospital stay and morbidity. The long-term outcome measures compared were incidence of portal hypertension (PHTN) related bleed, change in grade of varices, shunt patency, shunt complications and thrombosis of spleno-portal axis. Results: Among 40 patients with non-bleeder status, 24 underwent splenectomy and 16 underwent PSRS. The baseline characteristics including indication of surgery, biochemical investigations and grade of varices were comparable between PSRS and splenectomy. The peri-operative morbidity was not significantly different between two groups. The median follow up duration was 42 months (12-72 months), the decrement in grade of varices was significantly higher in PSRS group (p=0.03), symptomatic PHTN related UGIB was non-significant between PSRS and splenectomy (p=0.5). In PSRS group, 3 (18.3%) patients had shunt thrombosis (n=1) & encephalopathy (n=2) while in splenectomy group two patients developed thrombosis of splenoportal axis. Conclusions: Splenectomy with endotherapy is alternative to PSRS in non-bleeder NCPF patients with indications for surgery.

Background High temperature stress is an important abiotic factor, which affects tuberization and ultimately causes heavy yield reduction in potato. Objectives Identification and characterization of genes associated with tuberization under high temperature stress is essential for future management through biotechnology. Methodology Two contrasting potato varieties Kufri Anand (profuse tuber-bearing) versus Kufri Frysona (very less/scanty tuber-bearing, control) were cultivated in aeroponics under high temperature stress, and transcriptomes were analyzed. Results Potato cv. Kufri Anand was found superior over control (Kufri Frysona) for tuber yield and its component traits along with root morphology under aeroponics. Transcriptomes of tuber and leaf tissues were analyzed. Statistically significant (p < 0.05) differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were categorised into up-regulated (> 2 log2 fold change, FC) and down-regulated (< -2 log2 FC) genes. DEGs were annotated by gene ontology and KEGG pathways. A few selected up-regulated genes of both tissues were identified, and phylogeny tree and motif analysis were analysed based on 36 peptide sequences representing 15 selected DEGs in this study. Further, gene expression markers were developed and validated by real time qPCR analysis for the identification of high temperature tolerant genotypes. Conclusion A few key genes associated in tuberization under high temperature conditions were heat shock proteins (e.g. 18.5 kDa class I heat shock protein), sugar metabolism (e.g. glucosyltransferase), transcription factor (e.g. WRKY), and phytohormones (e.g. auxin-induced beta-glucosidase). Our study provides an overview of key genes involved in tuberization under high temperature stress in potato cv. Kufri Anand under aeroponics.

Powdery mildew of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea), caused by Erysiphe cruciferarum, is emerging as ma- jor problem in India. All the Indian mustard cultivars presently grown in India are highly susceptible to pow- dery mildew and so far no resistance source has been reported. In this study, with an aim to identify resistant source, 1,020 Indian mustard accessions were evaluated against E. cruciferarum PMN isolate, at Wellington, The Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu, India under natural hot spot conditions. The study identified one accession (RDV 29) with complete resistance against E. cruciferarum PMN isolate for the first time, which was consistent in five independent evaluations. Genetic analysis of F1, F2 and backcross populations obtained from the cross RSEJ 775 (highly susceptible) × RDV 29 (highly resistant) for two season revealed that the resistance is governed by two genes with semi-dominant and gene dosage effect. Further, a new disease rating system using six scales (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) has also been proposed in this study to score powdery mildew based on progress of fungal growth in different plant parts of the F2 population. The outcome of this study viz. newly identified powdery mildew-resistant Indian mustard accession (RDV 29), information on inheritance of resistance and the newly developed disease rating scale will provide the base for development of powdery mildew-resistant cultivars of Indian mustard.

Rice straw (Oryza sativa L.) biomass conversion to furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, lignin and bio-char: A comprehensive solution

Ajay Kumar,Arvind Singh Chauhan,Rohit Bains,Pralay Das 한국공업화학회 2021 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.104 No.-

A sustainable, easy to operate, scalable, and chemically pre-treatments free method has been explored forrice straw (RS) biomass conversion to furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), lignin and bio-charproduction. Initially, the RS was dipped into liquid nitrogen in a thermos flask and grinded easily to finepowder for better handling of biomass under reaction conditions in a reactor. The process also reducesthe volume of biomass and enhances the surface area of RS biomass which was further analysed bySEM, TEM, IR, TGA and DSC, and further validated by its fruitful conversion to furfural, 5-HMF, ligninand bio-char synthesis in satisfied yields. The developed acidic process was performed at 130 C for 6hrs under a closed reaction system in reflux conditions. The ultra-performance liquid chromatography(UPLC) purity of furfural and 5-HMF was measured to >90% without additional purification technique. Moreover, the method was also examined in 250-gram scale and found to perform well.
