An Overview of the Hydrocarbon Sector in India for Carbon Capture Scope

Received: 28 November 2024;  Published: 07 May 2025;  doi: 10.21926/aeer.2502022

Abstract

The hydrocarbon sector in India plays a pivotal role in the country's energy landscape, encompassing exploration, production, refining, and distribution activities. This abstract provides a concise overview of the sector's current status, challenges, and prospects. India's hydrocarbon reserves range from conventional to unconventional sources, with significant potential yet to be tapped. However, the sector faces challenges such as declining production from mature fields, technological limitations in ex [...]

Community Empowerment in Peri-Urban Areas through Solar Technologies: A Case Study in Central Mexico

Received: 02 September 2024;  Published: 07 February 2025;  doi: 10.21926/aeer.2501010

Abstract

This article explores a strategy to empower vulnerable communities by transferring solar technology as a path to energy justice development. The proposed methodology is based on preliminary research on energy uses according to the needs, practices, and customs of the communities. The study focuses on the cases of three women with productive vocations based on entrepreneurship in different phases of incubation found in a peri-urban community in central Mexico. In this community, productive energy uses include a) the [...]

MiRNAs as Promising Therapeutic Targets for Breast Cancer

Received: 27 November 2023;  Published: 26 February 2024;  doi: 10.21926/obm.genet.2401215

Abstract

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cause of cancer-related death and is the malignancy most frequently diagnosed in females worldwide. BC incidence is predicted to continue increasing worldwide. Without interventions, annual new cases will reach over 3 million by 2030. Genetic abnormalities account for almost 70% of all BC cases worldwide. Biological pathways implicated include non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). MiRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that play a role in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expressi [...]

Evaluation of Adjunctive Homoeopathy Treatment in COVID-19 Hospitalised Patients at the Gujarat State’s Dedicated COVID-19 Hospitals and Covid-Care Clinics During the First Wave of COVID-19 Pandemic: A Multicentric, Single-Arm Retrospective Data Analysis Study

Received: 20 February 2023;  Published: 28 June 2023;  doi: 10.21926/obm.icm.2302025

Abstract

This retrospective data analysis study aims to analyze the data collected during adjunctive homeopathy treatment of COVID-19 patients by the Homoeopathic medical officers (HMO) in Gujarat state-dedicated COVID-19 hospitals (DCH) during the first wave of the pandemic. The HMOs used the standard data collection forms/sheets to record each patient's demographic information, clinical symptoms, homoeopathic management, and outcome data. Data of all cases hospitalized with COVID-19 of any age, and both genders were i [...]

Elastohydrodynamic Squeeze-film Interaction in Synovial Joints with Nanofluid Lubrication

Received: 09 July 2022;  Published: 19 October 2022;  doi: 10.21926/rpm.2204021

Abstract

New lubrication events can be predicted using improved pathological non-Newtonian physiological fluids coupled to phospholipid-based bilayers in variable time-dependent magnetic fields under random non-steady conditions. In this study, we investigated nanofluid lubrication systems for synovial joints. The particles of PSPMA-g-HSNPs were used as nanoparticles. The hydrodynamic interaction between the knee bones separated by a nanofluid film was considered here for various nanofluid concentrations. The simulation ind [...]

Revisiting the Experience of Art Therapists and Drama Therapists Working in Schools Two Years after the First Lockdown: A Qualitative Pilot

Received: 25 May 2023;  Published: 11 July 2023;  doi: 10.21926/obm.icm.2303027

Abstract

This paper follows a preliminary study that examined how 6 (n = 6) creative arts therapists (3 art therapists and 3 drama therapists) coped with the transition to remote therapy in schools during the first lockdown in Israel due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The preliminary research explored the therapists’ experiences and views about working online upon returning to regular in-person meetings. The current paper adds a follow-up interview examining their perspective on this period, two years later. The 1st set of in [...]

Developing a Compassion Focused Supervision Model for Senior Leaders in Education

Received: 22 March 2024;  Published: 11 June 2024;  doi: 10.21926/obm.icm.2402033

Abstract

This article describes the development and delivery of a novel model of supervision for senior teachers in schools, informed by Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). It explores whether this model can be considered acceptable and valuable to senior teachers, and is able to be delivered by multiple supervisors using a manual. Surveys, interviews, and focus groups were used to gather feedback about the value and impact of the supervision. Data were gathered from 39 senior teachers across three phases to assess feedback o [...]

Physicochemical Characterization and Mineral Composition of “UENF SD 08”: A Super-Sweet Corn Hybrid

Received: 30 December 2022;  Published: 27 August 2023;  doi: 10.21926/rpn.2303015

Abstract

Sweet Corn (Zea mays L.) is possibly the most important commercial cereal originating in the Americas. Mutant genes are responsible for sweetness. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical and mineral composition of the “UENF SD 08” cultivar, super-sweet corn developed at Darcy Ribeiro Northern Rio de Janeiro State University (UENF) and registered in the National Cultivar Register of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply and to compare its content to commercial super-swe [...]

Secondary Antibody Deficiency in a Heart Recipient with Systemic Aspergillosis

Received: 23 November 2018;  Published: 22 March 2019;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.1901058

Abstract

Secondary antibody deficiency has been associated with risk of invasive fungal infections in solid organ transplantation. Single center, multi-center and meta-analysis studies have tested this association. Therapy of these infectious complications in the presence of a secondary antibody deficiency after transplantation remain a challenge for transplant teams. Currently, there are no guidelines for the management of this combined clinical scenario. We report the case of a patient with severe secondary immunodeficien [...]

Short-Term Impact of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Leukemia Patients on Bone Bio Markers, Electrolytes and Blood Profile

Received: 30 September 2022;  Published: 25 April 2023;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2302183

Abstract

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) has significantly improved the survival rates of patients suffering from hematological malignancies. However, the cure can only be achieved at the price of morbidity and long-term complications such as bone diseases leading to fractures and osteopenia. Several studies have reported the impact of organ transplants on bone metabolism, electrolytes and blood profile. This prospective observational clinical study aims at elucidating the [...]
