O aumento da produtividade na aquicultura pode ter várias implicações para a saúde dos peixes. Sabe-se que dietas contendo vitaminas, aminoácidos, minerais e ácidos graxos, são essenciais para os peixes, evitando sinais de deficiência e uma boa saúde. Os minerais são de fundamental importância para inúmeros processos metabólicos e, a inclusão de minerais na ração de peixes é fator determinante, não só como elemento nutricional, mas também como imunomodulador, promotor de saúde e de crescimento. Visando a importância que os minerais têm na alimentação animal o objetivo desse trabalho é fazer um levantamento bibliográfico sobre os minerais na alimentação de peixes. Na reprodução de peixes, o selênio é um antioxidante que ajuda a proteger os ovos e embriões contra danos oxidativos, contribuindo para a viabilidade embrionária e a qualidade da prole, já o cobre é essencial para a formação de enzimas envolvidas na reprodução, incluindo aquelas que participam da síntese de hormônios sexuais. Na larvicultura de peixes, o ferro é essencial para a formação da hemoglobina, a proteína responsável pelo transporte de oxigênio no sangue e o manganês está associado à formação de ossos e ao sistema nervoso e aumento da imunidade de peixes. No crescimento de peixes, o selênio é conhecido por suas propriedades antioxidantes e por sua capacidade de prevenir o estresse oxidativo nas células dos peixes. Além disso, o selênio pode influenciar a textura e a cor da carne, contribuindo para uma carne mais firme e saudável. O ferro no crescimento de peixes, é necessário para a formação da hemoglobina, que é essencial para o transporte de oxigênio. Em suma, é unanimidade que inclusão de microminerais na alimentação de peixes melhoram os índices produtivos. Um melhor entendimento das exigências de microminerais dos peixes pode ajudar a formular dietas mais precisas, minimizando o desperdício de nutrientes e maximizando a produtividade da cadeia produtiva no setor da piscicultura.

Some necessary constructs of consciousness as defined in the dynamic organicity theory
Authors:   Integrative Neuroscience Initiative, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia 3145, Poznanski Roman R.
Published: April 2024

The Dynamic Organicity Theory (DOT) explains consciousness as a process that cannot be reduced to a thing or a structure. This process, called the Polanyian process, involves the evolving diachronic boundary conditions of our experienceability. These boundary conditions are ontologically intertwined with higher-level boundary conditions, which lead to physiological nonlocal cause-and-effect relationships. Thus, adaptive changes occur when self-referential causal closure transforms syntactic structures into experienceable forms. Self-referential causal closure is a causal agent for diachronic boundary conditions that majorly structure intrinsic information in ways that experienceabilities are across time, suggesting that consciousness is not driven by an “internal clock” or regular biological rhythm but rather by intrinsic intentionality preceding path selection through a non-mechanical force of hidden thermodynamic energy that cascades to form a volitional agency of information-based action due to the gain of hidden intrinsic information. The process of transforming syntactical structures to experienceable forms in intrinsic informational pathways is conflated with nonlinear time, and its structuring defines the functionality of the brain. Consciousness-in-the-moment is an “averaging out” between different informational pathways involved across such nonlinear time. The transduction of quantum potential information as negentropic action is a motif for “potential complexity” to decrease the maximum complexity (derived from the brain structure, dynamics, and function) due to the reduction of uncertainty. Given that the functionality of maximum complexity lacks the self-referential causal closure to be a volitional agent needed for precognitive consciousness, it is proposed that negentropic entanglement unifies experienceabilities so that the functionality of multiscale complexity is greater than the functionality of maximum complexity. This may be enough to produce consciousness in organic systems.
Neutrophilic Dermatosis of the Dorsal Hands
Authors: Sanchez Andrew , Ferrigno-Guajardo Ana
Published: April 2024

Neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands (NDDH) is a localized variant of Sweet syndrome, a neutrophilic dermatosis commonly associated with underlying malignancy or systemic inflammatory disorders. NDDH can be mistaken for infection due to its rarity, clinical appearance, and common association with elevated inflammatory markers. A high index of suspicion for this diagnosis should be maintained with symmetrical hand lesions, as approximately 78% of patients with NDDH have bilateral disease. Patients respond rapidly to the initiation of systemic steroids; however, like with generalized cutaneous Sweet syndrome, diagnosis should prompt further work-up for underlying disease.

Published: April 2024

Our hospital developed and implemented a major redesign of interdisciplinary rounds in order to achieve more efficient interdisciplinary communication in this challenging post-COVID era. The goal was to involve all key participants in a structured initiative to improve discharge planning, review important patient safety indicators, and enhance patient-physician communication. The comprehensive redesign, based on the Institute for Healthcare Improvement model, restructured the rounds into two distinct components: interdisciplinary disposition and clinical rounds. This new, dichotomous structure resulted in improved median discharge time, better identified estimated date of discharge and streamlined communication among care team providers. Combined with second rounds by physicians on patients getting discharged, there was an improvement in patient experience domains.

Unveiling the Heaven: First Sighting of Four Avian Species in Kibber Wildlife Santuary, Trans Himalayan Ecosystem, Himachal Pradesh, India
Authors: Banyal Harinder Singh , Sharma Archana
Published: April 2024

Globally all mountains  including the Himalaya are highly susceptible ecosystems due to the given climatic conditions and land-use changes. Field observations play crucial role in grasping the birds distribution species in biologically and evolutionary important regions particularly in Trans Himalayan ecosystem like the Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary with abundant avian species diversity among all vertebrates found in sanctuary. Present research paper deals with significant bird species sightings in this hard-to-access sanctuary. These bird sightings show how conducting biological surveys and continuous monitoring work help to enhance our understanding using various methods. The stratified random sampling technique was employed for avian fauna survey.  Earlier, there were almost negligible efforts  made on comprehensive studies of vertebrate diversity in the Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary which makes this study more significant as it will be the baseline information for the forest department and scientific research. The records of four documented birds species are valuable especially since these all are first sightings in the KWS and their IUCN status was also evaluated. Listing of bird’s species will contribute to a better understanding of birds distribution and will be helpful for future research and conservation plans.
Discussion on specific implementation strategies for detective work
Authors:   The Korean Society of Private Security, Kim Eun Kee
Published: April 2024

This research was conducted to derive discussions on the concrete implementation strategies based on the consensus in the academic community about the necessity of the detective industry, which has been ongoing for a long time. To achieve the research objectives, a review of three bills pending in the current 21st National Assembly was conducted, and the case of Japan, which has implemented detective legislation ahead of us, was examined. Through this, the following conclusions were drawn. Firstly, provisions regarding the scope of business under exceptional prohibitionism; secondly, limitations on the discretion of the police chief according to the granularity and importance of violations subject to administrative disposition; thirdly, delegation of authority on committee composition; fourthly, establishment of provisions to ensure the effectiveness of refusal of registration due to physical or mental disabilities; fifthly, avoidance of excessive legislation on breaches of detective obligations. However, there are limitations to the research as specific methodologies have not been derived at the detailed level, and only rough directions for specific alternatives can be provided. Nevertheless, the significance of this research lies in the fact that it can be utilized as a reference in future bill drafting and can serve as a starting point for in-depth discussions on some of the alternatives proposed in this study.

Authors: Ahmad Junaid , Warraich Saqib Khan , Khan Muslim
Published: April 2024

Pakistan’s economy has been dependant on the international institutions since 1958 when Pakistan first time approached to get loan from International Monetary Fund (IMF). Pakistan approached due to bad governance, extractive political and economic institutions, the lack of reforms, and the lack of effective utilization of human and natural resources. These issues keep the Islamabad’s economy fragile and dependent on the international institutions such as IMF, World Bank, and Asian Development Bank. All these issues are constructed by the elites in order to perpetuate their status quo. Since 1958 up to date, Pakistan has been failed to build the sustainable economy under the umbrella of IMF and such other institutions including the assistance of friendly countries like China, Saudi Arabia, and UAE and so on. Thus the role of international institutions immensely influence both economic and political decisions and policies. In this article the role of international institutions and local elites in Pakistan’s economy will be comprehended whether international institutions and elites have been playing a positive or a negative role. Besides, the remedial measures will be suggested which keep Pakistan’s economy on the right and sustainable path in order to get rid of such uncertain phenomena.

Este estudio aborda la necesidad de entender la presencia microorganismos funcionales en suelos tropicales, proporcionando información valiosa para la conservación y manejo sostenible. Tiene como principal objetivo analizar la variabilidad de microorganismos funcionales en diferentes profundidades del suelo y las correlaciones con los parámetros fisicoquímicos. Para ello se recolectaron muestras de suelo de 15 puntos aleatorios en un bosque reservado y se analizaron propiedades fisicoquímicas y microbiológicas a dos profundidades (10 y 20 cm). Se cuantificaron los siguientes microorganismos funcionales: aerobios viables, lactobacilos, actinomicetos, hongos y bacterias fijadoras de nitrógeno utilizando protocolos específicos. Se empleó la prueba no paramétrica de Wilcoxon para determinar diferencias entre profundidades y el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson (|ρ| ≥ 0,8) para analizar correlaciones entre parámetros fisicoquímicos y microorganismos. Los resultados sugieren que la abundancia de microorganismos aerobios viables, Lactobacillus, Actinomicetos y Fungi disminuye con la profundidad del suelo, mientras que las bacterias fijadoras de nitrógeno no muestran diferencias significativas. La disminución de la abundancia se relaciona con factores como la disponibilidad de nutrientes y oxígeno y las condiciones microambientales. Existe una correlación positiva fuerte entre la cantidad de microorganismos aerobios viables y Lactobacillus con el contenido de fósforo, y una correlación negativa entre Actinomicetos y el contenido de Arcilla. Los Actinomicetos prefieren suelos arenosos, mientras que los Fungi prosperan en suelos ricos en materia orgánica. La correlación negativa entre Fungi y Actinomicetos sugiere competencia por recursos limitados y posibles interacciones químicas, como la producción de compuestos antibióticos por parte de los Actinomicetos. Este estudio demuestra que la comprensión detallada de la microbiota del suelo puede ofrecer nuevas oportunidades para mejorar las prácticas agrícolas, especialmente en términos de gestión de la fertilidad del suelo y sostenibilidad ambiental.

Background. Over a long period, an open capsular synovectomy technique was recommended for villous nodular synovitis and synovial chondromatosis of the knee joint. However, such surgical treatment is accompanied by significant trauma to the joint tissue and frequent postoperative recurrence. Currently, it is advisable to assess the possibilities of modern treatment methods (arthroscopic cold plasma ablation) for rare diseases of the knee joint. The aim of the study. To assess the possibilities of arthroscopic cold plasma ablation in a series of clinical observa-tions of the surgical treatment of patients with rare diseases of the knee joint synovium in a statistically small sample. Material and methods. Surgical treatment was performed in 14 patients with diseases of the knee joint synovium. We carried out clinical and radiological examinations, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, multi-detector computed tomographic angiography, ultrasound examination, Dopplerography of the vessels of the lower extremities, biochemical examination of synovial fluid, arthroscopy with targeted biopsy and subsequent morphological examination of the synovial membrane. Results. In 7 patients with pigmented villous nodular synovitis, the following surgeries were performed: in 1 patient with the diffuse form – an open subtotal capsular sinovectomy; in 6 patients with the nodular form – an arthroscopic partial cold plasma capsular sinovectomy of the knee joint. In 7 patients with synovial chondromatosis, an arthroscopic removal of cartilage flaps and partial cold plasma ablation of synovial folds and knee joint villi were carried out. Conclusion. Arthroscopic cold plasma ablation with bipolar electrodes in various modes of the Qvantum-2 (Arthro-Care, USA) using anterior, posterolateral and suprapatellar approaches makes it possible to carry out less traumatic and radical, without damaging deep layers of cartilage and capsule, surgical treatment of rare diseases of the knee joint synovium. In diffuse forms of pigmented villous nodular synovitis, it is advisable to continue comparative studies of various surgical methods of capsular sinovectomy (open and arthroscopic techniques).
Perspective Chapter: Role of Curcumin in the Management of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis
Authors: Reena Km. , Singh Lalit , Kumar Tiwari Ritesh
Published: April 2024

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are chronic inflammatory illnesses categorized by joint pain and swelling, along with systemic symptoms. The distinction between RA and PsA may be difficult to determine since their clinical presentations and symptoms are so similar. RA and PsA are treated in a palliative manner since they are not curable diseases. Allopathic medicines have serious side effects, and long term-consumption decreases patient quality of life. Hyperacidity, edema, stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation, and reduced appetite are some of the most common adverse effects. Curcumin, the primary active component within Curcuma longa (turmeric), has been demonstrated to be helpful in treating RA and PsA, with effectiveness attributed to its mode of activity. This chapter defines the correlation between RA and PsA and reports on the use and mechanism of curcumin in the management of these conditions. According to various literature surveys and evidence, it can be concluded that curcumin is a safe and effective therapeutic option for managing RA and PsA compared to synthetic medications.

A set of proposals to overcome the crisis in Atmospheric Remote Sensing Technologies
Authors: Alex Polkanov Yury
Published: April 2024

This chapter summarizes proposals to expand the capabilities of lidar measurements of the Earth’s atmosphere as a structural stratified medium with complex thermodynamics. The generalized structure of the revealed, statistically stable horizontal optical inhomogeneities of the surface layer and their dynamics are taken as an informative indicator of the thermodynamic stability of the atmosphere in the zone even beyond the limits of measurements. A special statistical method for analyzing the two identified structures is used. It is based on the separate fixation and statistical averaging of the intervals between local maxima and minima of the lidar backscattering signal and the analysis of the time dynamics of such an interval component of the signal during the night, under anticyclone conditions. It assumed that this approach makes it possible to identify certain statistically stable structures of atmospheric inhomogeneities of varying connectivity, depending on the overall thermodynamic stability of the atmosphere. In addition, a specific method is tested to search for emerging and temporarily stable anomalies of such a structure of atmospheric inhomogeneities, but associated with a violation of the thermodynamic stability of the atmosphere. Such a filtration method (identification of a certain anomaly against the background of an extended organized structure of inhomogeneities) showed high efficiency in model experiments compared to standard filtration methods.
Emerging trends in Sickle cell disease and CRISPR/Caspases
Authors: K. Ababio Grace
Published: April 2024

In this review chapter, sickle cell disease (SCD) overview, its diagnostic procedures and markers to date as well as the proposed model or pathways by which SCD oxidative stress activates caspases leading to a shrunken sickle cell are presented. Of the various approaches used to mitigate SCD effects, it is anticipated that the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Caspases could possibly edit the sixth position alteration on the β-globin gene on chromosome 11. Even though CRISPR/Caspases hold promise in sickle cell disease in the near future, it is also possible for it to create genomic chaos. Here, several schools of thought are presented as well.

Glaciers are an inherent component of the landscape, culture, and environment in the high mountain areas of the Himalayas. Glacier distribution and its impacts are diverse in various landforms and landscape scales. Past studies on glaciers have focused on the individual, river basins, or at the country level, but none have been analyzed at the transboundary landscape level. This study investigates the spatial distribution of glaciers in the transboundary Kailash sacred landscape (KSL) at multiple time scales. The study revealed that 3.8% of the total landscape area is covered by glaciers. Altogether, 1941 glaciers were identified, covering 1169.04 ± 27.71 km2 area in 2020, most of which are highly concentrated in the southern part of the landscape in the Kali and West Seti basins. From 1990 to 2020, these glaciers have retreated significantly by 25.5% of their area. Oppositely, due to the shrinkage and fragmentation of individual glaciers, the number of glaciers has increased by 7.8%. The glacier retreat rate is higher at elevations below 5500 masl, and glaciers below 3500 masl have disappeared completely after 2010. Systematic long-term glacier monitoring is required, and the data can be utilized to project water resource availability based on various climatic and glacio-hydrological models.

Authors: R. Albert Mary , Slawny Kristina , Johnson Jay , Moravec Elliot , Kuhl Tanner
Published: April 2024

Ice cores drilled from glaciers and ice sheets provide a critical natural archive of current and past evidence of climate and environmental change, and subglacial rock holds evidence of past glacial extent. Current climate change is causing the demise of glaciers around the world; the scientific need to recover ice cores from mid-latitude glaciers is urgent before ice core records are lost to melt. Logistical access to uncertain ice sheet conditions is challenging. Retrieval of subglacial rock cores is needed for cosmogenic dating evidence of past sea level. This paper describes recent engineering advances in scientific drilling of ice and subglacial rock cores under conditions of current climate change. The successful efforts of the U.S. Ice Drilling Program to retrieve a surface-to-bedrock ice core from Quelccaya Ice Cap, Peru is described, along with the successful subglacial rock coring that retrieved the first meter-length bedrock cores underlying 509 meters of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

Macadamia is a high value tree crop with rising global demand. As a leading producer, Malawi has seen rapid expansion of macadamia orchards, indicating the crop’s growing economic and nutritional importance. Macadamia nuts serve as a means of income generation and provision of high-quality nutrition among producers and consumers. As a consequence of these benefits, macadamia nut production is rising within the country. Rising domestic and international demand suggests macadamia production will help in economic growth in production areas. Integrating macadamia nuts into local diets could also provide nutritional benefits, allowing Malawi to simultaneously improve well-being and prosperity. To fully utilize this potential, Malawi needs strategic expansion plans for the crop. A comprehensive assessment of current and future suitable production areas is necessary. By matching production capacity to area’s ecological conditions, yields can be optimized within sustainable limits. With mindful, coordinated support for the nascent macadamia industry, Malawi can leverage this crop for healthier, more resilient communities.
Applying Field Research in Tropical Peatlands and Managing Ground Data: A Challenging Approach
Authors: Amal Nilna , Wurjanto Didy
Published: April 2024

Hydrology research of peatlands requires accurate data and field research, which is still challenging, especially in Indonesia’s tropical peatlands. Peatlands in Indonesia have been explored and studied, including the peat soil and the community next to the place, requiring wise management. This study covers the challenge of conducting field research in two types of different land characteristics and societies. Hence, it explores how to present the field data. The result shows an appropriate approach to the community by understanding their background is essential. Four years of research in different peatland areas has proven this in either Sumatra Island or Kalimantan Island. The field research data can be presented in short or long intervals. The short data can show crucial details about rainfall-water table elevation (WTE) on one side. On the other hand, the long interval data can present a whole trend rainfall-WTE relationship and the possibility of fire occurrence and indicate the peatland condition, whether it is improving or deteriorating. Different results from both lands show WTE risk, which is indicated by the WTE numbers more than 40 cm below the surface reach exceeding 70%; it can be caused by different land use and intensity of activities.

Fusarium oxysporum has been a subject of intensive research since 1882, with over 200 studies published from key cotton-growing countries such as the United States, China, Uzbekistan, India, Pakistan, Australia, and Brazil. The present study has employed a diverse array of research methodologies and technological approaches, primarily emphasizing research publications disseminated within the past decade. It places specific emphasis on two key domains: Molecular Mapping and Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), elucidating the evolutionary analysis transition from Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) to Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) chip utilization. The creation of a comprehensive molecular map that incorporates Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) related to Fusarium and consolidates findings from several research groups, accompanied by figures and tables, serves to facilitate a more thorough understanding of the genetic architecture underlying Fusarium-related traits. An in-depth examination of recent advances in marker-assisted selection for traits conferring resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (FOV), coupled with a comprehensive evaluation of the pertinent genes, offers valuable insights into the development of resistant cultivars and the underlying genetic mechanisms. This entails doing a critical review of recent relevant literature. Furthermore, this investigation examines the obstacles and potential associated with developing technologies.
The UNHCR Refugee Zakat Fund: beyond the OIC
Authors: Bakre Olayemi , Dorasamy Nirmala
Published: April 2024

This chapter ambiguously paints a picture of some of the most vulnerable among the OIC member states. It highlights their plights, rationale and the urgency of establishing the Refugee Zakat Fund as a means to alleviating the plights of these vulnerable individuals. The impact of the Refugee Zakat Fund in bridging the heightened social inequalities amongst the most vulnerable populace within the OIC is casually discoursed. Herein, the widespread and far-reaching impact of wealth redistribution is accentuated. Based on the impactful nature of the Refugee Zakat Funds within OIC, the chapter explored the feasibility of replicating such Islamic social finance mechanism or wealth distribution model (Zakat) amongst vulnerable populace found within selected Hindu, Catholic, Buddhist and Christian countries with a significant population of citizens living below the poverty line. The aim of this chapter is to assess the feasibility of bridging the social inequality gaps amongst a select non-OIC member state through a replicate of the Zakat-model. To achieve this aim, the chapter adopted a desktop analysis and qualitative content analysis stratagem. Invariably, such wealth distribution model may possibly serve as a stepping stone to begin to narrow the social inequality gaps amongst the cited people of concern.
