Published: December 2022

Cyathea latebrosa is one of the lowland tree fern species found in Peninsular Malaysia. This fern species is highly demanded in ornamental landscaping. The in vitro cultures are an important tool for propagation which may contribute toward the reduction of over-exploitation. To overcome these problems, an effective spore surface disinfection protocol is crucial to allow the germination stage to be carried out. This studied had carried out three types of methods which are the packet method (PM), centrifuged method (CM), and soak method (SM) with difference percent of concentration (0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 10 & 30) Mercury Chloride (HgCl2) and Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). In contrast, the method and concentration of disinfection affect germination. Our results showed that the soak method in both types of disinfection is a significant difference due to statistical analysis (MANOVA) which gives a positive effect on the germination of the spore. This method is efficient for sterilizing which spore loss is kept to a minimum and has a higher rate of germination (HgCl2-90% & NaOCl-80%). The optimum concentration of HgCl2 was 0.1%, then followed by 0.5% and 1.0%, while for NaOCl was 30%, 20%, and 10%.

Published: December 2022

Chronic diseases, which are often referred to as noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), are conditions that worsen over time gradually due to a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental, and behavioral factors. In the Philippine context, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), which collectively include diabetes, hypertension, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, are accountable for all fatalities of Filipino people. Several articles have stated that 38.6% have been hospitalized with hypertension, 3.9 million cases of diabetes, and 27.7% of Filipinos suffered from Asthma-COPD in the Philippines. However, with these diseases indicated, there are several treatments, prevention strategies, and risk factors that have been developed throughout the years. People of all ages, living in all regions and nations are affected by NCDs. Poor diet, inactivity, exposure to tobacco smoke, problematic alcohol use, environmental factors (including air pollution), and other risk factors for NCDs can affect children, adults, and seniors. Finding and treating these problems is essential for controlling NCDs. The economy of countries, especially those with low and moderate incomes, are significantly impacted by the co-occurrence of health burdens in populations going through transition, particularly in certain socioeconomic and cultural contexts. Methods, programs, and regulatory policies significantly relevant to NCDs in the Philippines are reviewed in the article. The paper also discusses facilitating factors that contribute to the NCDs situation in the country, which may become matters of interest in developing and updating the NCDs management approach of the healthcare system. This review aims to focus on and understand the different treatment, prevention strategies, and risk factors of NCD across the Philippines.

Published: December 2022

This scoping review's goal is to provide an overview of how telepharmacy was used during the COVID-19 epidemic. Four topics will be addressed in this review: (1) What various telepharmacy activities were implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic? (2) What difficulties did the implementation of telehealth programs encounter? What were pharmacies' (3) tactics for overcoming difficulties, and what were some of their creative approaches to putting telepharmacy into practice? Using the PubMed Central database and Google searches, a literature search was done to find articles about the deployment of telepharmacy that were published after March 2020. A set of predetermined criteria were used to determine whether or not to include or exclude each article. Virtual consultations, medication delivery to patients' homes, and patient education were the telepharmacy programs that were most frequently seen. Major obstacles to the deployment of telepharmacy included limited access to technology, lack of digital access, and low levels of digital literacy. This study aims to make people aware of the existence of telepharmacy, how it works, and how it is relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic in the ASEAN countries, where telepharmacy makes healthcare services more easily attainable to people in remote communities which should beneficial to people with comorbidities, especially in elderly people.

Dünya örnekleri ile kıyaslandığında sayıca oldukça fazla kooperatifin mevcut olduğu ülkemizde bu sayısal üstünlüğe rağmen kooperatifçilik ile ilgili bazı problemlerin olduğu görülmektedir. Özellikle yönetsel alanda yaşanan sıkıntıların kooperatiflerin gelişimini olumsuz etkilediğini söylemek mümkündür. Türk Ticaret Kanunu ile düzenlenen kooperatifçilik konusunda son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalar kurumsal yönetişim uygulamalarının yaşanan sorunların giderilmesinde etkili olacağı sonucunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışmada ülkemizde kurumsal yönetime ilişkin düzenlemeler yapan Sermaye Piyasası Kurulu’nun Kurumsal Yönetim İlkeleri Tebliği çerçevesinde uyulması zorunlu kurumsal yönetim ilkelerinin uygulanabilirliği Türkiye Tarım Kredi Kooperatifleri örneği üzerinden incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda ortaya çıkan en çarpıcı eksikler bağımsız üyelik konusunda ve komitelerin mevcut olmamasıdır. Yönetim kurullarında bağımsız üyeler bulunmamaktadır. Bağımsız üyelerin yönetim kurulunda yer almasının şeffaflık ve hesap verebilirlik ilkeleri açısından olumlu katkı sağlayacağı açıktır. Diğer yandan kurumsal yönetim, riskin erken saptanması, aday gösterme ve ücret komitelerinin tesis edilmesi için ana sözleşmelerde çeşitli düzenlemelere gidilmesi hem yönetim hem de denetim açısından faydalı olacaktır. Kar amacı gütmek amacından ziyade üçüncü sektör olarak anılan alanlar gibi sosyal amaçlara hizmet eden kooperatifler açısından bakıldığında hesap verebilirlik ve şeffaflığı artıracak her uygulamanın ivedilikle hayata geçirilmesi gerekmektedir.
The Influence of Indirect Corrective Feedback on the Linguistic Accuracy of Adjectival Clauses in an EFL Context
Authors: AL-JARRAH Rasheed , AL-AHMAD Sayyah
Published: December 2022

The goal of this research was to find out which corrective feedback technique would be most effective in some EFL context. Concisely, we wanted to find out whether the feedback techniques commonly used in this context (namely indirect feedback and oral meta-linguistic explanation) were structure-, learner-, and task-dependent. We chose to experiment with all the functional uses of one linguistic structure, namely adjective clauses. Whereas the experimental group received two types of feedback (indirect coded written corrective feedback and oral meta-linguistic feedback), the control group received no corrective feedback at all on the targeted features. Findings showed that the experimental group’s linguistic accuracy in using adjectival clauses improved far better than that of the control group. However, this improvement, quite expectedly, declined gradually over the course of time; hence the experimental group’s linguistic accuracy was a little better on the immediate posttest than on the delayed post-test. Our argument was that a combination of indirect feedback and meta-linguistic explanation would be rewarding for adult learners with low-proficiency levels probably because such feedback techniques require them to exert maximum cognitive, especially when getting engaged in a problem-solving process.

Published: December 2022

In this study, nickel oxide (NiO) films were prepared on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass by a chemical bath deposition (CBD) at different nickel sulfate (NiSO4) concentrations. The NiO films were verified for their structural properties with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) while the optical properties were investigated using a spectrophotometer. Moreover, the NiO films were studied to assess their electrochemical properties by cyclic voltammetry in potassium hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte. The results showed that annealed NiO films exhibited the dominant crystal structure of the (111) plane. Meanwhile, the NiSO4 concentration controlled morphological structure between dense and porous structures. The porous structure of NiO film was produced with the NiSO4 concentration in the range of 0.2 M to 1.0 M and the most porous structure was NiSO4 concentration at 0.8 M with a porosity of 64.56%. The optical contrast was calculated between bleached and colored states which were obtained at a maximum of 51.39% for NiO films at 0.8 NiSO4 concentration. Morphological effects and electrochromic properties were highly consistent. Analysis of the cyclic voltammetry (CV) results revealed that the cyclic stability for the highly porous structure of NiO films was more deteriorating than the less porous films.

Authors: SILACHAI Anuak , PRASOMTHONG Suriya
Published: December 2022

High-strength steel and aluminum alloys are used to manufacture modern vehicles. The objective was to reduce the weight and fuel consumption of the vehicles. In this study the optimum parameters for the friction stir spot welding (FSSW) process between Al6061-T6 aluminum alloy and HSS590 high-strength steel were determined. Response surface methodology based on central composite design (CCD) with three parameters, five levels, and 19 runs was used to conduct experiments and develop mathematical regression models. The three joint parameters were tool speed, welding feed, and dwell time. Analysis of variance was then performed to examine the adequacy of the developed models. Finally, the effects of the process parameters on the mechanical properties were investigated using mathematical models. In addition, the distribution of the chemical composition and fracture characteristics of the joints was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The investigation found that the optimum welding parameters were a tool speed of 1576 rpm, welding feed rate of 45 mm∙min-1, and dwell time of 10 s. Furthermore, the results confirmed that the mathematical models and experiments were consistent.

Published: December 2022

This paper presents the results of the study of microcapsules synthesized using a novel hybrid shell of polyureaformaldehyde/SiO2 (PUF/SiO2) and a core of linseed oil. The synthesis was accomplished by facial polymerization combined with sol-gel of TEOS, and urea-formaldehyde resin to form the hybrid shell under optimal process parameters. The microcapsules were embedded in a metal coating using the electrodeposition method. Microcapsules were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM, FE-SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), particle size analyzer (PSA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The experimental results indicated that the average size of capsules synthesized umder the optimum processing parameters were in the range of 5 µm to 200 µm with a hybrid shell thickness of less than 1 µm. The internal surface of the shell contained more SiO2 compared to the external PUF/SiO2 layer, as indicated by EDS. While the internal surfaces were smooth, the outer surface of the microcapsules were composed of rough branched-like structures of urea-formaldehyde particles. It was shown by thermal analysis that initial decomposition starts at 225℃ which proved excellent thermal stability. Electrodeposition was carried out with the current density of 25 mA∙cm-2 to embed the synthesized microcapsules into the Ni-Co alloy coating, which was investigated by SEM, and corrosion test (OCP, LP) to characterize the corrosion behavior of these potentially self-healing coatings.

Published: December 2022

The aim of this work was to explore the use of natural rubber latex (NRL) as a natural binder (according to the BCG concept) to replace commercial synthetic binders such as polyurethane resin. A composite sheet of spent coffee ground (SCG) and natural rubber (NR) was prepared by mixing of SCG in NRL compounds having concentrations of 30% and 60% dry rubber content (DRC). The amount of SCG in the composites was varied from 33 to 167 part per hundred rubber (phr). The mixture was cast in a mold to form a thin sheet then left drying at room temperature for 24 h. TGA thermogram shows 3 decomposition stages composed of moisture (including volatile matters), polysaccharide and lipid at 44%, 42% and 13% weight, respectively. Hardness (Shore A) increases gradually with increasing the amount of SCG, while tensile strength and elongation at break tend to decrease. Tensile strength decreases from 2.6 MPa to 1.2 MPa for the composites containing 33 phr and 133 phr of SCG, respectively. Alkaline surface treatment of SCG could improve the adhesion between SCG and NR as evidenced by the increase in tensile strength, elongation at break and compression set properties.

Published: December 2022

Medical errors are frequent in medical profession, especially having in mind the nature of this profession. In addition to the doctor himself or another medical worker (civil and criminal liability), the health institution where he is employed can also be held liable (exclusively civil liability) for medical error. In this case medical institution is responsible for the mistakes of its employees. Bearing in mind that compensation claims could be huge, liability insurance appears as a form of protection of the medical institution, as well as the patients. In the first part of the paper, the authors analyse the concept of medical error as a basic condition for the liability of a medical institution. In the second part, they analyse main issues of the medical institution liability, as well as liability insurance.

Published: December 2022

Evans syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease in which an individual’s antibodies attack the body’s own red blood cells and platelets. It is characterised by simultaneous or sequential development of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) and Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) with positive Direct Antiglobulin test (DAT). AIHA can be cold, warm or mixed type depending on the type of antibody. 80% of total AIHA cases are warm AIHA. Warm AIHA is mostly caused by IgG antibody which reacts at 370 C. Warm AIHA is associated with classical case of Evan’s syndrome. Some variants of Evan’s syndrome are associated with leucocytosis. The current article discusses 3 cases of Evan’s syndrome, all presenting differently - Classical Evan’s syndrome, Evan’s syndrome associated with leucocytosis and Evan’s syndrome associated with neuropathic pain. In this case series, pathophysiology, workup done at blood centre and blood component transfusion support in patients with Evan’s syndrome has been discussed.

Background: To study the impact of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic on the attitude and practice of vaccination, mental health and training of the ophthalmology residents doing COVID duties in Gujarat. Materials and methods: In this prospective study, online survey (Google Forms) was conducted during the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic from May 13 to May 17 2021 amongst the ophthalmology residents doing COVID duties in Gujarat. It was designed to understand their attitudes and practices towards COVID-19 vaccination, their mental health using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and their perceived impact of the second wave of the pandemic on their ophthalmology training. Results: 148 residents responded to the survey. Mean age was 25.86 ± 1.4years and 73 (49.32%) were males. 112/148 (75.67%) had been vaccinated against COVID-19. The mean PHQ-9 score was 10.61 ± 4.5 (range of 1 to 24).130(87.83%) participants had some degree of depression. Depression was significantly more in students from government medical colleges (p=0.013). Mean duration of covid duty performed was 26.54 ± 17.63 days. 83/101 (82.18%) residents who had done COVID duties during both waves of the pandemic, found the second wave more stressful. 109/148 (73.65%) residents found COVID duties during the second wave had hampered their training in ophthalmology. Conclusion: With the constant threat of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, an accessible psychological support system and effective e-learning process amongst the ophthalmology trainees, thereby boosting their self-confidence should be encouraged. Key words: second wave, ophthalmology residents, vaccination, mental health, training, COVID 19
ENERGISING RASA THEORY: BREATH, EMPATHY, AND WELLBEING IN CONTEMPORARY ACTOR TRAINING
Authors: Prasad Mallika , Kamatham Ram Ganesh
Published: December 2022

Breath has emerged as the preferred locus of performance energy over the last two decades, presenting a pragmatic approach to questions of contemporary actor training, postStanislavskian approaches (such as psychophysical approaches) and vitalisation of traditional performance practices (such as Kutiyattam and Kalaripayattu). In this paper, we elaborate outwards from this “rediscovery” of breath, to offer a methodological base from which to engage the concept of Rasa which occupies a pre-eminent position within Indian aesthetics. We argue that the constellation of bodily practices arising from within this field of knowledge, far from esoteric traditionalisms, inform the neuro-physiological basis for empathy. Practical engagement with these neuro-physiological processes widens understanding of the importance and role of well-being in contemporary actor training. We argue that a shift towards this well-being based approach within conservatories and performance training institutes, is a necessary adaptation to meet the challenges of a postpandemic world.

Published: December 2022

In this letter, it is discussed the enigma of the sea in the chrestomathy story of the American writer «The Old Man and the Sea». In the text the sea transcends the function of a landscape and acquires the role of a character. Writers seem to use an artistic way of personification. We can assume that for the old man element of the sea is sacred, blessed, is an object of adoration and worship. We see harmonious coexistence of The Old Man and the Sea in the story. The text also compares the story «The Old Man and the Sea» with the story of the outstanding Georgian writer Guram Rcheulishvili «Dumb Ahmed and Life», in which the sea is one of the main characters as well.

Published: December 2022

In the present study, efficiency of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and vitamin E together in ameliorating ochratoxicosis in broiler chickens was investigated. Day-old broiler chicks (320) were divided into 8 treatment groups (T1- control (basal diet); T2- T1+ 150 ppb OTA; T3-T2 + 0.05% SC + 100 mg vitamin E-VE; T4- T2 + 0.075% SC + 100 mg VE; T5- T2 + 0.1% SC + 100 mg VE; T6- T2 + 0.05% SC + 200 mg VE; T7- T2 + 0.075% SC + 200 mg VE; T8- T2 + 0.1% SC + 200 mg VE per kg diet). Each diet was fed to 5 replicated groups of 8 birds from 0 to 42 days of age. During overall growth period (0â€“6 weeks), the body weight gain (BWG) of birds fed ochratoxin contaminated diet (T2) was lower than that of control group (T1). The BWG of group T5, T7 and T8 was higher than T2 but statistically similar to that of control. During overall growth period, the FI in control group was statistically similar to other treatment groups. The FI in groups T7 and T8 was higher than that of group received basal diet with toxin (T2). The overall FCR in control group (T1) was lower than that of T2. The FCR in groups T3, T4 and T6 was higher than the control, but lower than that of T2. The FCR in groups T5, T7 and T8 was lower than T2 and statistically similar to that of control (T1).The overall liveability percentage in control group (T1) was higher than that of ochratoxin fed group (T2). The liveability percentage in group T3 was lower than control and similar to that of T2. The liveability percentage in groups T4 to T8 was statistically similar to that of control. Ochratoxin contamination in diet caused significant reduction in body weight gain, feed consumption, feed efficiency and livability percentage. It was concluded that inclusion of S. cerevisiae at 0.1% level along with 100 mg vitamin E per kg diet or S. cerevisiae at 0.075% level along with 200 mg vitamin E/kg diet to the ochratoxin (150 ppb) contaminated feed ameliorated the adverse effects of ochratoxicosis on production performance of broiler chickens.

Published: December 2022

Toxoplasma gondii is a common coccidian parasite with stray cat family as definitive host, and a wide range of warm blooded animals and human as intermediate hosts. The objective of this study was to isolate T. gondii from rodents and stray cats in northeast of Iran. Genomic DNA was extracted from 30â€“50 mg of the rodents and stray catsâ€™ tissue using phenol-chloroform extraction method. Using PCR-RFLP, the genes (SAG1, SAG3, GRA6, 18SrRNA) and sequencing method, the isolation of T. gondii from these hosts was determined. ELISA method was also used on serum samples to evaluate the IgG antibodies against T. gondii among the hosts. Out of 286 rodents and 210 stray cats tested, the DNA of T. gondii was detected in 68 and 38 samples, respectively. Nucleotide sequencing and phylogenetic analysis confirmed the RFLP results. It was also observed that dominant genotype of T. gondii in infected rodents and stray cats belonged to genotype 3. The results of this study indicated that rodent and stray cat hosts can play an important role in maintaining the Toxoplasma transmission cycle in the Golestan province.

Theileriosis is a fatal haemoprotozoan disease which is a major threat to dairy and related industries. This study was undertaken to ascertain haematological changes and molecular diagnosis of Theileria annulata in crossbred cows. The infected group showed significantly lowered mean values of TEC, Hb, PCV and thrombocytes. Also the red blood cell (RBC) indices, viz. MCV, MCH, and MCHC were significantly lower indicating hypochromic microcytic anaemia. Out of 652 blood samples analysed by Giemsa stain, the overall prevalence of theileriosis was 36.3% during July 2015 to June 2017. Highest positivity of Theileriosis was noticed in summer (40.1%) followed by Spring/autumn (38.3%), rainy (34.3%) and lowest in winter (31.5%). About 48% blood samples were positive for Theileria annulata by 18SrRNA and TASP gene based PCR.

The study was conducted to assess the effect of toxic heavy metals on seminal antioxidants, trace minerals and semen quality parameters in crossbred breeding bulls. Semen samples were collected from breeding bulls (82) maintained at bull rearing unit of the institute. Toxic heavy metals (Pb and Cd), trace minerals (Zn, Cu, Co and Fe) and oxidative stress markers (SOD, catalase and MDA) were determined in semen samples of breeding bulls. Sperm motility and concentration were measured in fresh ejaculates. Significant levels of Pb (0.23Â±0.006 Î¼g/ml) and Cd (0.11Â±0.005 Î¼g/ml) were detected in semen samples of breeding bulls. On analysis of the data between good and poor bull categories, significantly higher concentration of Pb and Cd was present in semen samples of poor bulls as compared to good bulls. There was significantly higher malondialdehyde (MDA) and low superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase in seminal plasma of poor bulls compared to good bulls. A significant decrease in Zn and Cu was observed in poor bulls as compared to good bulls. Cobalt and iron values did not show any significant variation between good and poor quality bulls. On correlation analysis, lead and cadmium showed significant negative correlation with Zn, Cu, SOD, catalase, motility and sperm concentration while significant positive correlation was seen with MDA respectively. The study concludes that increased Pb and Cd in bull semen may increase the risk of seminal oxidative stress development and a subsequent reduction in male fertility.

The magnitude of risk for neonatal mortality (NM) due to non-genetic factors was assessed using data on 5,722 Malpura lambs born during 1991â€“2016 at ICAR-Central Sheep and Wool Research Institute, Avikanagar, Rajasthan. The association of non-genetic factors influencing lamb mortality was obtained by odds ratio (OR). The overall annual NM was 4.07% with around 3 times higher in hebdomadal (3.15%) than post-hebdomadal (0.93%) phase. In comparison to lambs with >3.50 kg birth weight, the OR varied from 2.03 (birth weight 3.01â€“3.50 kg) to 19.29 (birth weight <2.00 kg). Neonatal mortality was significantly higher (6.51%) in lambs born to younger ewes (up to 2 yr). The parity of dam had significant effect on NM with maximum mortality in lambs born to ewes in 1st (5.59%) parity. Damâ€™s weight at lambing revealed significantly maximum (32.35%) mortality in lambs born to ewes with <20.0 kg body weight. In comparison to ewes with 30â€“35 kg body weight at lambing, the OR for NM was maximum (17.28) in lambs born to ewes with <20.0 kg body weight at lambing. The causes of neonatal lamb mortality exhibited predominance of septicaemia/ toxaemia with 25.75% contribution in total deaths followed by neonatal inanition (21.89%), pneumonia (12.02) and enteritis (8.58%). The study revealed that NM during early phase of life was primarily influenced by both lamb and ewe factors. Strategies should be adopted for proper nutritional care of primiparous and weak ewes during gestation, intensive monitoring of lamb and ewes during the neonatal period with ensured colostrum or milk replacer feeding and suitable housing facility to minimize the neonatal losses.

A comprehensive study was conducted to evaluate the performance of a two way cross developed for free range poultry farming under farm and field conditions. Chicks (412) produced by mating PD-1 males with PD-4 females in single hatch were utilized for the study. The data collected on 200 chicks from field and 193 chicks from farm were analysed to study the effect of system of rearing on growth and production performance. The body weights were significantly higher in males from 6â€“12 weeks of age revealing sexual dimorphism in birds both under farm and field conditions. The shanks were significantly longer in males. The mean dressing percentage was 68.51Â±2.82. Legs contributed 21.90Â±0.23% of live weight, followed by back, breast and wings. Abdominal fat proportion was 0.5% of body weight. The adult body weights were significantly higher in farm reared hens. The age at sexual maturity (ASM) was significantly higher in free range hens (205.12Â±18.23 days) compared to farm reared hens (152.35Â±1.03 days). The egg weights were significantly higher in farm reared birds at 40 and 52 weeks of age. The part period egg production up to 40 and 52 weeks of age was significantly higher in farm reared birds (69.22Â±3.89 and 122.54Â±4.64) than free range birds (43.42Â±4.62 and 83.74Â±8.12). The annual egg production (72 weeks) was 189.61Â±6.72 eggs in farm conditions. The peak production (17.12 eggs) reached at 25â€“28 weeks and maintained till 49â€“52 weeks of age in farm conditions. Under free range conditions, the peak production was attained at 37â€“40 weeks of age and maintained up to 45â€“48 weeks. It can be concluded that, the performance of the cross is quite encouraging under free range conditions with good growth rate and high production potential compared to indigenous/ native chickens, offering a bright scope as a promising dual purpose chicken variety for free range poultry.

Published: December 2022

Udder morphology traits were measured and subjectively assessed by the use of linear scores and cistern cross-section areas were scanned by ultrasound machine, and were examined in 266 dairy ewes of Tsigai (TS), Improved Valachian (IV) and Lacaune (LC) dairy ewes. Measurements were recorded repeatedly within and between lactations, therefore 772 sets of measurements were collected in total. Analysis of variance was conducted with the mixed procedure of SAS statistical package. The model included effects of experimental day, parity, day in milk, random effect of animal and residual error. Subsequently correlations between random animal effects for udder measurements and linear scores were computed. Subjectively assessed linear scores for udder depth, cistern depth, teat angle and teat size showed high correlations with actual measurements of appropriate traits on udder in all examined breeds (rp=0.65â€“0.80).

Major credit for India being the largest producer of milk in the world, goes to crossbred cows produced by inseminating low-producing indigenous cattle with semen from high producing exotic bulls. However, over the years, the policy of crossbreeding has been confronted with a major problem of subfertility in crossbred male progenies, culminating into disposal of a major fraction of mature bulls. Many studies have demonstrated relationship between epigenetic alterations and male fertility across different species. PIWIL1 is an important candidate gene for spermatogenesis and germ line development. Negative correlation between DNA methylation and expression of this gene has been highlighted in inter species hybrids of cattle and yaks. The present study envisaged elucidating promoter methylation status and expression profile of PIWIL1 gene in exotic Holstein Friesian cattle, indigenous Sahiwal cattle and their crossbreds with varying semen motility parameters. Semen samples were collected from bulls for isolation of DNA and RNA from spermatozoa. Bisulfite converted DNA was used to amplify promoter of PIWIL1 gene using methylation specific primers. The amplified products were sequenced after cloning in pTZ57R/ T vector. The degree of methylation of the PIWIL1 promoter region was significantly higher in poor motility crossbred bulls (7.17%) as compared to good motility crossbreds (1.02%), Sahiwal (1.02%) and Holstein Friesian bulls (0.77%). PIWIL1 expression was 1.75, 1.71 and 1.59 folds higher in HF, Sahiwal and good motility crossbreds, respectively as compared to poor motility crossbreds.

Thus, ESBL producing organisms pose a major problem for clinical therapeutics. Because of the close contact between dogs and man, and aimless utilization of antibiotics especially cephalosporins in veterinary sector, these animals have turned into potential source of ESBL producing bacteria, thereby prompting the transfer of multidrug resistant strains in human. So far no studies have been conducted regarding the prevalence of ESBL among animals in Kerala. Because of the alarming rise in the number of these resistant strains, there is a urgent need for regular area based monitoring of the antibiogram profile of the various bacterial organisms associated with clinical infections in animals which could fluctuate throughout the years and from site to site. This could provide adequate data prompting the authorities to formulate strict antibiotic usage guidelines in veterinary and human sector.

Published: December 2022

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of exogenous fibrolytics enzymes (EFE) to improve the in vitro cell wall hydrolysis, ruminal fermentation and digestibility of untreated (WS) and chemically pretreated wheat straw with NaOH (SWS), urea (UWS), and diluted H2SO4 (AWS). An in vitro gas production study during 96 h of incubation and an in vitro enzymatic hydrolysis during 20 h was conducted. The first EFE was a mixture (1:1, v/v) of cellulase and xylanase (Dyadic complex), applied at increasing doses (1, 2, 5 and 10 Î¼l/g DM). The second EFE (MaxFiber complex) was also applied at increasing dose (0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg/g DM). The rate and the extent of the in vitro gas production (GP) of WS improved with both EFE supplementation especially with the optimal doses D1 and M2. In association with NaOH pre-treatment, the EFE failed to have any effect on wheat straw digestibility. In contrast, the urea pre-treatment seems to have a synergetic effect with EFE on ruminal utilization by accelerating the fermentation process. However, for AWS an antagonist effect was detected with both EFE. Moreover, the in vitro enzymic hydrolysis indicated a linear positive effect of EFE on reducing sugar release for almost all substrates and an increase in dry matter losses for only WS and AWS. These results revealed that the positive effect of EFE supplementation effect depended on the type of chemical pre-treatments and it was detected only for WS and UWS.

Published: December 2022

The potential of fluorescence spectroscopy was assessed to study cow, goat, sheep and yak meat. Meat samples were taken from muscles, viz. Gluteus medius (GM), Longissimus dorsi (LD) and Semitendinosus (ST). The moisture, fat and protein content of meat samples were measured. The emission fluorescence spectra of tryptophan (305â€“500 nm), riboflavin (410â€“700 nm) and vitamin A (340â€“540) were recorded directly on meat samples at 290, 382 and 322 nm, respectively. Principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares regression (PLSR) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA) were applied to process the spectra obtained. Moisture content with R2=0.94, protein content with R2=0.86, and fat content with R2=0.91 were predicted from the fluorescence emission spectra. The PLSDA applied at 410â€“700 nm fluorescence spectra showed 100, 100, 94.4 and 92.6% of discrimination for cow, goat, sheep and yak meat, respectively. This study demonstrates that fluorescence spectroscopy has a potential for the accurate, non-destructive and rapid prediction of meat composition and it could replace existing traditional analytical methods.
