Parasites and parasitic diseases of the Indian elephant,mithun and yak : An overview
Authors: PATHAK K M L , CHHABRA M B
Published: January 2024

The Indian elephant, mithun and yak are utility animals. Each of them is a valuable natural resource and important constituent of India’s unique biodiversity. However, their numbers have declined and their existence is facing several challenges, of which a major one is parasites and diseases caused by them. While much of the information on the parasites of Indian elephant dates back to the pre-mechanization British era, the setting up of dedicated Research Centres on Mithun and Yak by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, has resulted in generation of considerable research data and regular flow of information in recent years. The elephant is unique regarding most of its internal (and a few external) parasites not being shared with other livestock hosts. As per updated information, the Indian elephant is parasitized by 39 helminths, made up by 8 trematodes including the most pathogenic Fasciola jacksoni, 2 cestodes and 29 nematodes including 3 filariid worms; among protozoa, only Trypanosoma, Babesia and ciliates are known; arthropods include the stomach bot Cobboldia, the louse Haematomyzus and atleast 4 genera of ticks. The mithun, being phylogenetically related to cattle, seems to share the same set of internal and external parasites. To date 12 nematode genera, 6 trematode genera and 2 cestodes have been recorded; protozoa comprised coccidia (8 Eimeria species identified so far), Giardia, Cryptosporidium and Balantidium. In addition, serological evidence of Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum exists. Of arthropods, only ticks are reported. The parasites of yak are not fully explored. So far 11 nematode genera, 7 trematode genera and 3 cestodes (2 of them only as cysts) are on record. Among protozoa, only Eimeria (2 species identified) and in arthropods, warbles (Hypoderma), 6 genera of ticks, louse, flea and biting flies have been reported in India.

Foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious disease of all cloven hoofed animals caused by FMD virus (FMDV) and is mainly transmitted by contact, aerosols and fomites. Reports of FMDV dissemination in the cattle population via frozen semen straw are scanty, but virus may spread to susceptible population through artificial breeding programme. FMD carrier or recovered animals may secrete virus in semen without manifesting clinical symptoms that is why biological security of semen used for artificial insemination should be ensured by regular screening for FMDV. However, routine FMD diagnostic methods such as virus isolation and immunoassays have low sensitivity for detection of FMDV in the semen. Hence the study was undertaken to optimize a multiplex PCR assay for rapid screening of FMDV in cattle bull semen. Different RNA extraction procedures from semen were modified and evaluated for in vitro amplification of FMDV target gene. Analytical sensitivity of optimized mPCR assay was determined by experimental spiking of FMDV in semen samples. Detection limit of the optimized RNA procedure for mPCR amplification was determined to 0.5 TCID50/ml in FMDV serotypes O, A and Asia1. The optimized mPCR assay was used for screening of a cattle bull farm having recent history of FMD outbreak. Clinically infected animals were found positive for the amplification of FMDV gene in semen samples collected after more than 5 months of infections but not after 8 months post infection.
Spatial assessment of growth and instability of livestock products in India
Authors: SRIVASTAVA SANJIVANI , CHAUDHARY SHWETA , SRIVASTAVA S K , SINGH H N
Published: January 2024

Past studies regarding the growth and instability in production of livestock products have been conducted either for India or the major producing states. Therefore, the present study was conducted to estimate the growth and instability in production of milk, meat and egg, across all the states of India. The study is based on secondary data for a period ranging from 2000-01 to 2019-20. Percentage change, exponential growth function and Cuddy-Della Valle Index were utilized for calculating the relative growth rates, annual growth rates and level of instability. Results revealed that at the country level, India had achieved significant growth alongside low instability in its production of milk, meat and egg. However, large variations in growth rates and per-capita availabilities were detected at the state level. Current production levels of meat and egg were found inadequate in the majority of Indian states. Furthermore, an instability in production of meat and egg was observed in several states. The study recommends an inclusive and thorough execution of various livestock schemes along with timely transfer of credit and other extension services to reduce the inter-state disparities in livestock production. States with high level of instability in production must work on plugging the gap in their backward linkages, while states exhibiting low instability can focus on the processing of these highly perishable commodities.

Published: January 2024

The present study evaluated production performance and egg quality traits of native and Kadaknath chicken of Himachal Pradesh under sub-temperate western Himalayan region of India. External egg quality traits like egg weight, egg length, egg width, shell thickness and internal traits like length, height, width of albumen, yolk height, and yolk width were measured. Body weight of native and Kadaknath birds differed significantly at different age of measurements and body weight of native birds was significantly higher than Kadaknath. Age at sexual maturity was found less in native birds in comparison to Kadaknath. HHEP and HDEP was observed higher in native birds than Kadaknath. Mean value estimated for egg weight, egg length, egg width, shape index and shell thickness were 45.33 g, 54.99 mm, 41.27 mm, 75.02% and 0.36 mm, respectively in native eggs while corresponding values were 43.87 g, 53.61 mm, 40.80 mm, 76.20% and 0.34 mm, respectively in Kadaknath eggs. Albumen length, albumen width, yolk height and yolk index is observed significantly higher in native birds than Kadaknath. Appraisal of farm practices through field survey suggests that Kadaknath birds witnessed rising popularity in recent times. However, native birds of the region are better producers in comparison to Kadaknath. This suggests that native birds may be preferred over Kadaknath birds in similar regions where premium pricing of Kadaknath is unavailable. Occasionally peri-urban market offered opportunity of premium pricing based income through sale of Kadaknath birds. Thus, rearing of Kadaknath along with native birds is advised in such regions.
Status of duck breeding in India
Authors: PADHI M K , GIRI S C
Published: January 2024

Duck is the second most important species of poultry after chicken in India. Due to its many advantages, it is popular in the coastal states and states having large water bodies. Different indigenous and exotic breeds that are being evaluated and reported through research findings are summarized in this review. The history of import of exotic breeds to the country with breeding programme initiated for these breeds in India are discussed with reference to the status of breeds in respect to meat and egg production improved through selection in other countries. The status of purebred selection and breeding programme in indigenous duck being undertaken in our country are very few and being documented with reference to world scenario. Crossbreeding experiment using indigenous and exotic breeds in the countries are reported in respect to growth, conformation traits, production, reproduction, carcass quality, egg quality, egg weight and feed conversion ratio. Performance of the crossbred improved in respect to different traits measured compared to the indigenous breed showing heterosis in positive direction. General combining ability, specific combining ability and reciprocal effects are found to be significant for most of the traits studied in a 3×3 diallel cross using indigenous duck of Odisha, Khaki Campbell and White Pekin. The importance of availability of quality germplasm and performance improvement through duck breeding in India is to be taken on priority. Besides this, the conservation and documentation of all the indigenous breeds and variety is need of the hour. Commercial exploitation of indigenous duck breeds as they are well adapted to our harsh climatic conditions needs to be explored.

Published: January 2024

The Markham’s Storm-Petrel (Hydrobates markhami) is considered “Near Threatened” worldwide, due to the high impact of light pollution and the destruction and degradation of its breeding habitat. So far, it is known that most of the breeding population is found in the colonies of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. However, some records of fledglings attracted to luminaries suggested the probable existence of breeding sites in southern Peru. Therefore, an expedition was carried out in the departments of Arequipa, Moquegua and Tacna. During seven days, 2000 linear km were traveled in search of suitable substrate for breeding. The methodology included visual and olfactory inspection of cavities, complemented with the use of borescopes and playback; additionally, the search for individuals in flight was carried out with the help of binoculars and thermal visor. Fifteen nests of Markham’s Storm-Petrel were found in Pampa Pie de Candela, in the department of Tacna, two of which contained chicks between 60-90 days old. It was estimated to be a relatively marginal, sparsely populated colony, with about 30 breeding pairs in total. The colony is threatened by the advance of agriculture in the desert. This finding reveals the potential of southern Peru for the species and encourages the search for new colonies.

Published: January 2024

El Perú es uno de los países más megadiverso de América Latina, es la segunda nación Latinoamericana, y el cuarto a nivel mundial, en extensión de bosques tropicales. Es el octavo país en el mundo en número de especies. Pero también es uno de los países de la región que se ha visto afectado por los impactos del cambio climático, los cuales se evidencian en fenómenos como la elevación de la temperatura ambiental, aumentos y disminuciones bruscas en las precipitaciones, sequías extremas, inundaciones extraordinarias, entre otros, con las graves amenazas y riesgos que estos eventos naturales representan para los ecosistemas nacionales, que se traduce en la reducción de la biodiversidad y un mayor riesgo de extinción de numerosas especies de flora y fauna de la Costa, los Andes y la Amazonia. En este marco, la indagación que aquí se plantea tuvo como objetivo general desarrollar un análisis sobre el cambio climático y sus efectos en la biodiversidad en Perú. Sobre esta base se asumió el enfoque de una investigación documental, en cuyo marco, se accedió a la base de datos digitales de organismos nacionales e internacionales versados en la materia, así también, se revisó en plataformas académicas lo cual permitió revisar artículos/tesis en revistas indexadas. Dentro de las conclusiones planteadas tras el análisis del contenido de la temática en cuestión  se indica que si bien, se han hecho esfuerzos para contrarrestar los efectos del cambio climático en la biodiversidad peruana, los cuales se han implementado en acciones educativas, construcción de un marco legislativo con estas competencias, asunción y ratificación  de convenios internacionales en materia de cambio climático, aún queda mucho por hacer, para enfrentar las dinámicas y demandas que cada vez son más necesarias, urgentes y profundas en este tema.

Ley de garantías electorales, un desafío para la contratación pública electrónica en Colombia
Authors: Orjuela Ortiz Johana Marcela
Published: January 2024

El flagelo de la corrupción en Colombia se ha convertido en el originador de normatividades cuya finalidad es blindar la actividad contractual impregnada por esta enfermedad. Es así que normas como la Ley 996 de 2005 denominada “Ley de garantías electorales”, y políticas estatales como la contratación pública electrónica materializada actualmente en el Sistema Electrónico de Contratación Pública (SECOP), fueron dispuestas por el legislador como derroteros de transparencia y legalidad para la gestión contractual.
Sin embargo, y a partir de lo acaecido en el año 2022 al generarse una coyuntura en el Sistema Electrónico de Contratación Pública SECOP II ad portas de la entrada en vigencia de la Ley de garantías para la realización de los comicios electorales presidenciales, se hizo necesario indagar cuáles fueron los efectos causados para la contratación pública electrónica por dicho colapso. De esto se concluyó que se hace necesario realizar por parte del Gobierno Nacional una revisión de la eficacia de la Ley 996 de 2005, en especial en lo concerniente a la prohibición establecida en el artículo 33, toda vez que, esta investigación que se basó en el análisis de las fuentes primarias del marco normativo de la señalada Ley y de la contratación pública electrónica, de las fuentes secundaria de la jurisprudencia y doctrina, así como del análisis de datos bajo la estructura de comparación con una muestra de entidades estatales del orden nacional y territorial, demostró el alto impacto que esta prohibición impone a la contratación pública electrónica, en especial en la transaccionalidad del contrato electrónico.

Аn in-depth study of power and policy in the contemporary world
Authors: Manolov Georgi
Published: January 2024

Today, writing a book about power and politics in contemporary Bulgaria is not at all easy because the author would most likely be accused of using the circumstances in a contextual way. This, however, has not prevented prof. Dimitar Dimitrov to provoke his creative audacity in the development of his new monograph on this subject. A careful reading of the book inevitably leads us to the fundamental idea of what constitutes power and politics in modern sociological and political science. And it should be noted that it (the idea) permeates the author's analytical reflections, answering a number of key questions, such as: what is the nature of power and what is its attraction; how does political power fit as the core of the structure of the political system; how far does this power extend in the unfolding of the political process; what is the subject area of the sociology of politics; what is the place of political parties and elites in our modernity; the extent to which political leaders are prepared to participate effectively in political processes, responding to the bold challenges of globalisation, etc.

Development of 1D-convolutional Neural Network-based Height Profile Prediction Model in Directed Energy Deposition Process Using Melt-pool Image Data
Authors: Shin Hyewon , Ahn Junsoo , Beak Seung Woo , Lee Sang Won
Published: January 2024

Directed energy deposition (DED) process is a representative metal additive manufacturing technology that uses a flexible deposition head mainly used for repairs in space and marine industries. The DED process saves time and money as it repairs only damaged parts and components. Therefore, a geometric control is important to fill the volume of the target damaged area economically and accurately. However, efficiency depends on process parameters such as laser power, scanning speed. This study proposes a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) model to predict the height profile of the DED parts utilizing melt-pool image data. First, DED experiments were performed for a total of nine cases considering laser power and scanning speed as parameters. The collected melt-pool image data was pre-processed and only those related to the regions of interest were extracted. Initially, a total of 15 features were extracted from size, shape, location, and brightness from the melt-pool images. Then, 10 critical ones, selected through a permutation feature importance evaluation method, were input to the 1D-CNN algorithm to predict height profiles of the deposited layers. In testing phase, a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 9.55% was achieved, and thus, applicability of the proposed model was verified.

Wahlrechtsgrundsätze für Wahlen zum Europäischen Parlament
Authors: Schroeder Werner
Published: January 2024

Wahlrechtsgrundsätze sind verfassungsrechtliche Leitplanken, die den Spielraum des Gesetzgebers bei der Ausgestaltung des Wahlrechts begrenzen. Im Unionsrecht formulieren Art. 14 Abs. 3 EUV, Art. 223 Abs. 1 AEUV und Art. 39 GRC solche Grundsätze für die Wahl der Unionsbürger:innen zum Europäischen Parlament. Diese Grundsätze entfalteten bislang jedoch keine große Wirkungsmacht, da der Unionsgesetzgeber von seiner Kompetenz zur Angleichung des Europawahlrechts durch den Direktwahlakt nur in geringem Maße Gebrauch gemacht hat. Mit dem Beschluss (EU, Euratom) 2018/994 wurde indes ein weiterer Harmonisierungsversuch unternommen, dem nun Deutschland als einer der letzten Mitgliedstaaten zugestimmt hat. Der Beitrag erörtert, wie das geltende Europawahlrecht im Lichte der unionalen Wahlrechtsgrundsätze rechtlich zu bewerten ist, und befasst sich dabei auch mit der jüngsten Reform des Direktwahlakts, mit der die verpflichtende Einführung von Sperrklauseln verbunden ist.

Hellenistische Philosophie
Authors: Flashar Hellmut
Published: January 2024

Im Zeitalter des Hellenismus erhält die Philosophie durch die fast gleichzeitig in Athen gegründeten Philosophenschulen der Stoiker und der Epikureer neue Impulse. Beide Schulen entwerfen ein komplettes philosophisches System mit Naturlehre, Erkenntnistheorie und Ethik, verfolgen jedoch ganz unterschiedliche Ziele: Während die Stoiker dem Gemeinwesen zugetan sind und die Bedeutung der Pflicht hervorheben, ziehen sich die Epikureer aus der Politik zurück und stellen die Lust ins Zentrum ihrer Lehre. Angereichert durch Kynismus und Skeptizismus wird die hellenistische Philosophie in der Folge nicht nur zum primären Gegenstand der philosophischen Auseinandersetzung bei den Römern und im frühen Christentum, sondern ist bis heute ein viel diskutierter und rezipierter Bereich des abendländischen Denkens.

This article aims to analyze the urgency of the wakalah bil ujroh contract in business transactions in the digital era. The research method in this article uses a qualitative method with literature study as the approach. The data source is in the form of library publications. The type of data is in the form of written narratives or documents contained in publication sources. Data collection techniques are carried out by tracking the sources of these publications. The data analysis technique is descriptive. Based on the research conducted, it was found that the wakalah bil ujroh contract can be one of the contracts used in business transactions in the digital era. This is because the use of the contract can prevent business transactions from elements that contain usury and garar. Wakalah bil ujroh contract is a representative contract made by a person to another person to carry out an action or transaction accompanied by a reward for the action or transaction. Based on this understanding, rewards that are included with payments for a transaction or reward for a need are allowed in Islamic economics and are not included as riba but as wages or ujroh.

Published: January 2024

Understanding Islamic banking can be applied properly but has not fully positively influenced the intention to save in Islamic banking. Lack of interest and customer trust in Islamic banking to save in Islamic banking so there is a need for socialization of Islamic banking knowledge itself, both regarding understanding, of products, principles, and contracts used by parties from Islamic banks. In addition, some opinions also state that it is normal for lecturers at Islamic religious colleges to save in Islamic banks because they are required to open savings accounts to receive their salary through Islamic banks. Based on the description of the problem, the researcher is interested in conducting further research to prove whether the understanding of Islamic banking on lecturers' interest in saving in Islamic banking can maximize or have a positive effect on saving or not saving in Islamic banks. The discussion of this research relates to the field of science in connection with that the approach taken in theories related to understanding and interest. This research is quantitative. The samples used in this study were 34 lecturers. Data collection techniques used are interview techniques, distributing questionnaires, and documentation. The analysis technique of this research uses a validity test, reliability test, normality test, linearity test, classical assumption test, simple linear regression test, and hypothesis test with the help of SPSS version 26 software. The results of the study show that lecturer knowledge influences people's interest in saving at Islamic banks. This of course can prove that Indonesian Islamic banks have a place in the hearts of lecturers, not only because of the obligation to open an account at an Islamic bank to get a salary as a lecturer.

Logic as a Science of Patterns?
Authors: Peregrin Jaroslav ,   Journal of Philosophy Inc.
Published: January 2024

I propose that logic may be seen as a science of patterns—however, not in the sense in which mathematics is a science of patterns, but rather in the sense in which physics is. The proposal is that logic identifies, explores, and fixes the inferential patterns which de facto govern our argumentative practices. It can be seen, I argue, as picking up the patterns and working from them toward the state of reflective equilibrium, where the laws it aims at are explicitly articulated. Due to the normativity of logic, this process is not quite the same as that in which a natural science works its way from data to its laws; however, there is no reason why it should be seen as proceeding via a mysterious "a priori analysis.” Instead, it should proceed in the intersubjective space in which the sciences are practiced.
Safety, Closure, and Extended Methods
Authors: Goldstein Simon , Hawthorne John ,   Journal of Philosophy Inc.
Published: January 2024

Recent research has identified a tension between the Safety principle that knowledge is belief without risk of error, and the Closure principle that knowledge is preserved by competent deduction. Timothy Williamson reconciles Safety and Closure by proposing that when an agent deduces a conclusion from some premises, the agent’s method for believing the conclusion includes their method for believing each premise. We argue that this theory is untenable because it implies problematically easy epistemic access to one’s methods. Several possible solutions are explored and rejected.
PPR2016 Automated Vehicle Safety Assurance - In-use Safety and Security Monitoring - Task 1: Road Incident Taxonomy
Authors: Reed Nick
Published: January 2024

This report describes possible approaches to capture and categorise safety events involving low speed automated vehicles (LSAVs) as a means to provide the public with better evidence over their safety, regulators with evidence to strengthen decision-making in relation to LSAV operations, and developers with data to help improve the safety of LSAV behaviours. it is proposed that by recording safety events and road rule violations across a range of severities, considering event causation, including factors outside the ADS, reviewing external evidence, exploring the range of factors that contribute to risk before, during and after an event, initiating appropriate and proportionate responses to incidents it may be possible to analyse LSAV behaviours with sufficient depth and clarity to provide confidence to the public, regulators and developers in the safety of LSAV operations.

Morphological and genetic analyses verify the occurrence of the butterfly Graphium chironides (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) in Peninsular Malaysia and resolve the confusion on the validity of its subspecies malayanum Eliot, 1982

Published: January 2024

Graphium chironides malayanum Eliot, 1982 was described as a taxon occurring sympatrically with G. bathycles bathycloides in Peninsular Malaysia. However, the validity of the subspecies has been questioned in a recent publication that was based on a study of DNA and morphology, implying that G. c. malayanum is a synonym of G. b. bathycloides and G. chironides is absent from the Peninsula. A re-examination of male wing morphology, genitalia and DNA shows that G. c. malayanum is a valid taxon distinguished from G. b. bathycloides by wider discal markings, a less falcate forewing, distinct differences in the arms of the harpe in the male genitalia and clearly divergent mtDNA COI genes. In the DNA analysis, G. c. malayanum formed a monophyletic clade closely related to G. chironides from China, and both were well-separated from the G. b. bathycloides clade. An examination of characters used in the previous study showed that the conclusions reached were due to misinterpretation of diagnostic characters, misidentification of specimens and the absence of G. c. malayanum among the specimens examined. When these characters were correctly interpreted, each specimen was readily assigned to the correct taxon. Diagnostic morphological characters are reclarified based on the current data.
