Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCollection and Processing of Medicinal Raw Materials from Some Rare Plants in the Forest-Steppe Zone of Northern KazakhstanMarat Tynykulov, Svetlana Derbush, Marina Kuznetsova et al.Rare endemic plants of the forest-steppe zone of Northern Kazakhstan, including Adonis vernalis, Adonis wolgensis, Pulsatilla patens, and Pulsatilla multifida, represent valuable medicinal resources whose sustainable utilization requires optimized harvesting, processing, and conservation strategies. This study evaluated the effects of drying conditions, environmental factors, extraction techniques, and biotechnological approaches on the yield and quality of bioactive compounds from these species. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2026 · 1,595 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractsuPAR as an Inflammatory and Preclinical Atherosclerotic Marker in Hypovitaminosis DShravan Ajith Panchwadkar, Sudha Kuthethur, Neelam Manjunath Pawar et al.The mechanistic link between inflammation and atherosclerosis highlights the critical role of immune modulation in cardiovascular disease. The soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), an immune-derived factor, has recently emerged as a non-specific inflammatory marker across chronic diseases and infections. All cells within the atherosclerotic arterial wall can express uPAR and release urokinase, which plays a key role in the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2026 · 1,122 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining Causes of Gully Erosion and Associated Rates of Change in South-East Nigeria, using a Remote Sensing and GIS MethodologySylvanus IroThe study of gully development on a regional scale is currently threatened by the intrinsic costs associated with steady field tracking and monitoring and the lack of historic measurements to perform time series analysis. The research objective is to develop a low-cost GIS and Remote Sensing methodology for monitoring and quantifying gully erosion and development over time, identifying the impact … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 22 Oct 2020 · 7,431 accessesView PDF Cite

The objective of the study was to describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of new cases of HIV/AIDS and to look for the possible factors associated … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 5 Sep 2018 · 7,919 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeep Sense: Deep Learning for Early Staging the Onset of Diabetes Emanating Recognition of Activity PatternsMohammed Shamsul Alam, Erfanul Hoque Bahadur, Md Fokrul Islam Khan et al.This study presents a comprehensive framework for Human Activity Recognition (HAR) using smartphone sensor data, with a specific focus on identifying activities associated with diabetic risk factors. We investigate the efficacy of two deep learning architectures (Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs)) for activity recognition under conditions of limited training data. To address data scarcity, we … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 10 · 15 Dec 2025 · 2,268 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring the Role of Vitamin B12 as an Anti-atherogenic and Anti-inflammatory Agent in Apparently Healthy Adults With Hypovitaminosis DShravan Ajith Panchwadkar, Sudha Kuthethur, Sowndarya Kollampare, Neelam Manjunath PawarVitamin B12 deficiency is associated with metabolic changes like methyl malonic acidemia and hyperhomocystinemia eventually leading to atherosclerosis. Dyslipidemia and vitamin D (vit D) deficiency are independent risk factors of CVD. This study aims to explore the interrelationship between inflammatory markers, adverse lipid profile and vitamin B12 in hypovitaminosis D. Since, atherosclerosis is an inflammatory condition we have investigated CRP … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2025 · 3,326 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Per Capita GDP in Intergenerational Mobility in Education: A Cross-Country StudyLida Fan, Meiying Zheng, Rong Luo, Alena AuchynnikavaThis study investigates the mechanism of how per capita GDP impacts intergenerational mobility in education. We propose an analytic framework in which per capita GDP affects educational mobility through government spending on education and other channels. Following this framework, this study conducts five-round estimations to examine the connections among per capita GDP, educational mobility, and government expenditure on education, using … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 4 Feb 2025 · 8,194 accessesView PDF Cite
