Management of Shweta Pradara(abnormal vaginal discharge) with Kukkutanda Twak Bhasma and Pippalyadi Yoni Varti: A Pilot Study
Authors: Sivanandan Anagha , Parmar Bhaktiba L
Published: December 2024

Introduction-Abnormal and excessive white discharge per vagina is termed as Shweta Pradara(NAMC code- EL 5) in Ayurvedic classics. It is a very a common complaint reported by the women of reproductive age group.In this trial, a protocol combining both systemic and topical approaches has been implemented for the management of Shwetapradara.
Material and methods: 17 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected from the OPD of Prasuti tantra and Stree Roga, of the concerned college. Kukkutanda Twak Bhasma in a dose of 250 mg twice a day with honey was administered for 30 days and Pippalyadi yoni varti was kept per vagina (for 3 hours daily) after the completion of bleeding phase of menstrual cycle for 7 days. The effect of therapy was assessed by change in the scores of assessment criteria and vaginal pH.
Result: Statistically highly significant (p<0.001) results were obtained in amount and consistency of discharge (Yonisrava) and Yonikandu. Significant(p<0.05) results was obtained in Katishoola. 
Discussion: Shweta Pradara can be considered as Kapha-vata pradhana Tridoshaja Vyadhi and its line of treatment should be Kapha-vatahara, Yoni vishodhana and Krimighna. Sthanika Chikitsa is having great role when combined with the systemic approach in the management of Shwetapradara. The Kaphahara and Yonivishodhana action of Pippalyadi Varti was supported by the systemic effect of Kukkutanda Twak Bhasma leading to appreciable results.
Conclusion: Oral administration of Kukkutanda Twak Bhasma along with local application of Pippalyadi Yoni Varti was found to be effective in the management of Shweta Pradara and recommended for further research.

Analytical Evaluation of Bhallataka Shodhana Using Two Methods and Their Significance
Authors: Umretia Bharti L , Shirvi Devanshi , Aarya Pragati
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Bhallataka (Semecarpus anacardium Linn.) is first classified in the text named Rasopnishata under Upavisha group and is also listed in Schedule E1 drug in the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules 1945. Due to its toxic properties, Bhallataka should only be used after undergoing proper purification. Various classical texts outline different methods for purifying Bhallataka to ensure its safe and effective use in medical treatments. Methods and Materials:In this study, two methods for the purification of Bhallataka fruits were explored. Sample 1 was Ashuddha Bhallataka, while sample 2 was purified Bhallataka fruits using coconut water, as described in the Rasa Tarangini and sample 3 underwent purification with cow urine, cow milk, and brick powder, following the Rasamrita method. A comparative analytical study was conducted on all three samples, evaluating various parameters such as organoleptic characteristics, physicochemical properties, phytochemical composition, total polyphenol, and GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) analysis. Result: Three samples of Bhallataka were analyzed for their physicochemical and phytochemical properties. The total polyphenol content was highest in sample 1 (3.41 %), followed by sample 2 (2.70 %) and sample 3 (2.57 %), indicating a decrease in phenolic compounds after purification. Qualitative phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, and glycosides in all samples, with variations in the intensity of certain compounds. GC-MS analysis identified 20 distinct compounds in each sample, with sample 1 exhibiting 5 spectra, sample 2 showing 4 spectra, and sample 3 displaying 5 spectra, each with varying retention times. Discussion: Purification significantly impacts Bhallataka's properties.  Sample 1, the unpurified form, had the highest total polyphenol content, while sample 2 and sample 3, after purification, showed lower levels of phenols. GC-MS analysis revealed distinct chemical profiles for each sample, confirming that purification alters the composition of Bhallataka.
The Analysis Study of Association of Dyslipidemia and Diabetic Retinopathy: A Comprehensive Systematic Review
Authors: Anindi Putri Harjanti  , Yuliani
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness in diabetic patients, and its progression is influenced by various factors, including dyslipidemia. This systematic review aims to assess the relationship between dyslipidemia and DR, focusing on lipid profiles such as LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol. Method: We conducted a systematic review of studies published between 2010 and 2023 that examined the association between dyslipidemia and DR in diabetic patients. Studies were selected based on inclusion criteria, including cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control designs. Data regarding lipid profiles, DR stages, and statistical significance were extracted and analyzed. Result: The literature search was conducted across reputable databases such as Science Direct, PubMed, and SagePub. After a rigorous three-level screening process, eight relevant studies were selected for detailed evaluation. These studies varied in design, including cross-sectional, cohort, and retrospective studies, and involved diverse sample sizes ranging from 45 to over 79 million participants.  The findings consistently indicated a significant association between dyslipidemia and diabetic retinopathy (DR). Several studies reported elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides (TGs) and reduced levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in patients with DR compared to those without. Additionally, certain studies suggested a protective effect of statins on non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), while medications such as pitavastatin and fenofibrate were associated with a reduced prevalence of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and vitreous hemorrhage. Discussion: The findings suggest that dyslipidemia, particularly elevated LDL and reduced HDL cholesterol levels, contributes to the development and progression of DR. However, the lack of clear temporal precedence and the absence of control groups in some studies limit the ability to establish causality. The heterogeneity in study designs also affects the generalizability of the results. Conclusion: Dyslipidemia plays a significant role in the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy. Future research should focus on high-quality longitudinal studies that account for confounders and temporal relationships to better understand the causal link between dyslipidemia and DR.

Antimicrobial Resistance: Implementing an Effective Response for a Growing Global Health Threat
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Nigeria, Ekuri Susan
Published: December 2024

The growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health challenge. The rising prevalence of resistant microbes increases the risk of spreading infectious diseases. Although AMR has gained global attention in recent years, public health experts are still faced with the challenge of implementing effective policies and programmes to combat the threat.

 The aim of this review was to examine the global health threat and significance of AMR. The review explores the public health impact of AMR and the drivers of its spread as well as the current strategies used in combating the problem. The paper also critically analyses the existing public health response, policies and legislations and offers possible future directions for a more effective response.

 Google and Google Scholar search engines as well as the PubMed database were searched to identify literature concerning the global impact of AMR as well as the public health response and the current control strategies. Websites of the World Health Organization and similar organisations were also searched. The key search terms used were ‘antimicrobial resistance’, ‘global health’, ‘impact’ and ‘response’.

 The review findings highlighted the challenges and gaps in the current response ranging from inadequate implementation of national plans due to poor commitment to a lack of surveillance data. Other challenges include the multifactorial drivers of AMR, changing trends and diverse geographical patterns of some of these factors.

 This article was able to emphasise the urgent need for a coordinated global plan, multi-sectoral collaboration among key stakeholders, including embracing a One Health approach to address the use of antimicrobials in agricultural practices for food production. The control of AMR requires a more uniform and guided response for more effective AMR action.

Early disease detection has long been a cornerstone of healthcare, with the adage “prevention is better than cure.” The rise of machine learning (ML) has revolutionized this field, enabling the analysis of vast medical data to predict health issues before they become clinically evident. Traditional detection methods, relying on manual examinations and patient history, are often limited by human error and subjectivity, especially as medical datasets grow in size and complexity. This review addresses the gap between conventional diagnostic methods and ML’s potential in early disease detection. It explores various ML algorithms used across domains such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, and tracks the evolution of ML techniques from 2015 to 2024. The review also examines ethical and technical challenges, particularly concerning data privacy. Emerging trends in the field, such as the integration of ensemble learning and deep learning models, are also proposed. The significance of this work lies in its comprehensive overview of ML in early disease detection, highlighting its transformative potential in improving diagnosis accuracy, reducing healthcare costs, and enhancing patient outcomes.

From Authority to Autopsy
Authors: Elsherif Garda
Published: December 2024

This paper examines translations of books in the natural sciences into French from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Specifically, it examines the scientific reader’s expectations of contemporary book translations. To that end, this study investigates review reports on manuscripts of translations submitted to the leading French institution of modern sciences—the Académie Royale des Sciences. These are compared to review reports of manuscripts of translations submitted to the Faculté de Médecine of the Paris University, which remained longer in the pre-modern attempt to preserve classical ‘auctores’ in translation. The comparison of the review reports reveals interesting shifts in translation norms, highlighting the demand for critical scientific translations wherein the translator, as a member of the scientific community, critically investigates and comments on the translated text.
On the role of translation in the stabilization of national scientific cultures
Authors: Gipper Andreas
Published: December 2024

Translation is usually understood primarily as a mediating movement between different cultural and linguistic spheres. Recent translation studies, on the other hand, have often emphasised that translations not only facilitate the crossing of national borders, but also contribute significantly to the establishment of the very borders they subsequently overcome. The same phenomenon can be observed in the emerging sciences. This seems all the more remarkable given that in view of the decidedly universalist self-conception of the sciences, one would hardly expect translations to have their role in the stabilisation of national scholarly spheres. The present article aims to show how translation in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was not only a precondition for the emergence of science as a transnational project, but also contributed significantly to the development of national scientific communities and cultures.
The Translation of Science in the Era of Italian Nation-building
Authors: Lukenda Robert
Published: December 2024

The early nineteenth century saw the beginning of intensive translation activity on the Italian peninsula in order to promote the cultural and scientific process of national unification (Risorgimento). Despite efforts to open up Italian culture to the English and German-speaking world, the French axis remained the central source of scientific and cultural import for Italy in the 19th century. This is evidenced not least by the appearance on the Italian peninsula in the 1820–1830s of scientific journals such as Antologia (1821–1833), conceived purely as translation organs and dedicated to the transfer of science and culture through translations from French journals. Taking Antologia as an emblematic example of this development, this article examines the early translation policy of this journal in its political and cultural context. Specific emphasis is placed on exploring the twists and turns of this translation policy, its influence on the scientific, cultural and political discourse in Italy, and the resulting implications for the process of Italy’s internationalisation and nationalisation.

Policy Framework for Conservation and Management of Riparian Lands in Kenya
Authors: Makindi Stanley , Mugatsia Wedgener
Published: December 2024

Riparian lands are important components of functioning, healthy aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Healthy riparian lands are critically important landscape components, providing environmental, economic, cultural and recreational benefits. However, the extent and health of riparian lands has declined in most areas in Kenya. This is partly because riparian lands are inadequately defined with many of the definitions based on the objectives and the field of interest. In addition, the environmental legislation framework in Kenya is marked by a series of environmental legislations which are scattered across different laws or Acts of Parliament. This has led to uncoordinated implementation of sectoral and management plans for sustainable management of riparian lands. This paper looks at the current state of riparian lands against the needs of relevant sectors and proposes recommendations for improving riparian land conservation and management in Kenya. A review of the existing legal, regulatory and policy frameworks indicated a number of gaps and opportunities from the conservation of riparian lands in Kenya. Most of the legislations and regulations are scattered in a range of resource and sectoral specific Acts, regulatory and policy documents. With regard to institutional settings, there is a lack of coordination, lack of or poor enforcement, lack of manpower, and in many cases lack of a clear management plan for the riparian areas. There is also political influence and overlapping mandates between or amongst institutions. This confusion between the existing Acts, regulations and policies hamper implementation and result in a lack of practical guidelines for enforcement officers on the ground. Therefore, there is need for the various sectors and institutions involved in management of riparian lands to derive a working definition of riparian lands and their extent to guide the operation of these sectors/institutions in conservation and management of riparian lands.

Published: December 2024

Head and neck cancers (HNCs) represent a serious global health issue, it is estimated that more than 1.4 million new cases of HNC, which include cancers that originate in oral or nasal cavity, nasopharynx, oro-pharynx, hypopharynx, larynx or thyroid gland. The term ‘Oral Cancer’ is used to describe any malignancy that arises from oral tissues and accounts for the largest percentage of malignant head and neck tumours. Oral squamous cell carcinoma in maxilla is quite rare, one of the main positive prognostic factors is the abscence of metastatic cervical lymph node. This study observed the cervical level and pattern of lymph node metastasis from maxillary gingivo buccal sulcus and palatal mucosa in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Analytical cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial surgery, Dhaka Dental College Hospital. Histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma of maxilla treated with neck dissection (Previously untreated patients) and who were tumour size T1-T4, Lymph node involvement cN0/cN+ (clinically and with sonographic examination). All the findings were included in data collection sheet which were then be analyzed and result were prepared. After collection, data editing and clearing were done manually and prepared for data entry and analysis by using SPSS (statistical package for social science) version 26. After analysis of data it was presented in the form of tables with interpretation. Out of 50 SCC patients, majority of the study patients belonged to the age group of ≥ 61 years (34%) followed by the age group 41- 50 years (30%), 51 – 60 years (30%) and ≤ 40 years (6%). The mean age ± SD: 56.02 ± 10.63 and the age range from 35 year to 80 year. Male female ratio was 1:1. Maximum (42%) of the lesions located in the gingiva buccal sulcus (GBS) followed by GBS + palatal mucosa (34%) and palatal mucosa (12%). Ultrasonographically negative lymph nodes were confirmed by histological examination where 12.90% become positive and 87.10% become negative. Oral squamous cell carcinoma of gingivobuccal sulcus, alveolar mucosa and palatal mucosa of maxilla needs prophylactic neck dissection in case of N0 neck. Most of the cases of anterior maxilla metastasis to jugulodigastric lymph nodes. Ultrasonograph of neck is not only non-invasive investigation, but also needs MRI for proper evaluation.
Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio of Covid-19 Patients Admitted in Mariano Marcos Memorial Hospital and Medical Center, an Early Prognostic Marker
Authors: Paul T. Ladera Jonathan
Published: December 2024

Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio as an Early Prognostic Marker for COVID-19 Patients Admitted to Mariano Marcos Memorial Hospital and Medical Center. The emergence of COVID-19 as a global pandemic has prompted the need for reliable prognostic markers to assess disease severity and guide clinical management. While various biomarkers have been studied about COVID-19 prognosis, their accessibility and applicability in resource-constrained settings remain challenging. This study focused on the neutrophil Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), a routinely available parameter in complete blood counts, as a potential prognostic marker for COVID-19 patients in Mariano Marcos Memorial Hospital and Medical Center. This retrospective cross-sectional analytical study analyzed data from COVID-19 patients admitted. The study assessed the relationship between NLR and clinical outcomes, including discharge status, ICU admission, and mortality. The study also examined the correlation between NLR and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, another inflammatory marker commonly associated with COVID-19 severity. The study included 702 COVID-19 patients with varying age groups and clinical classifications. The analysis revealed a statistically significant difference in NLR among different age groups (p < 0.05) and a moderate positive correlation between NLR and CRP (Pearson coefficient = 0.469, p < 0.05). Furthermore, NLR showed a statistically significant difference among clinical outcomes (p < 0.05), with higher NLR values associated with worse clinical outcomes, such as ICU admission and mortality. Logistic regression analysis supported NLR as a predictor of clinical outcomes (p < 0.05), while age, gender, and comorbidities showed no significant association. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) emerged as a potential early prognostic marker for COVID-19 patients admitted to Mariano Marcos Memorial Hospital and Medical Center. Higher NLR values were associated with increased CRP levels, worse clinical outcomes, and a higher ICU admission or mortality likelihood. However, further research in more extensive and diverse populations is needed to validate these findings and consider other confounding factors. Integrating NLR with other clinical parameters could enhance its predictive power and clinical utility in assessing COVID-19 severity and prognosis.
Prototyping i naturfag

Published: December 2024

Denne artikel undersøger, hvordan prototyping kan anvendes i naturfagsundervisningen til at fremme elevers undersøgelses- og modelleringskompetencer gennem en designproces, hvor undersøgelse gennem digitale og analoge teknologier spiller en rolle. Artiklen baserer sig på tre cases fra to danske folkeskoler, hvor elever igennem en engineering tilgang arbejder med at skabe prototyper af broer. Prototyping fungerer både som måder at undersøge og manifestere deres designidéer. Casestudiet viser, at prototyping ikke kun fremmer læring gennem hands-on tilgang, men også styrker elevernes evne til kritisk at vælge og anvende analoge og digitale ressourcer i overensstemmelse med at understøtte deres undersøgelse samt udtrykke deres designidé og æstetiske ambitioner. Resultaterne fremhæver yderligt vigtigheden af lærerens rolle i at støtte en fleksibel anvendelse af både analoge og digitale teknologier, med henblik på at skabe meningsfuldt samspil mellem teknologivalg, æstetik og designbaseret undervisning i naturfagsundervisningen.
Tryllepinde i danskundervisningen
Authors: Jensen Michael , Heiden Thomas Roed
Published: December 2024

Artiklen udfordrer med posthumane perspektiver den designorienterede tilgang til læremiddeldidaktikken. Som alternativ undersøges hvordan ikke-familiære materialiteter kan åbne for det uforudsigelige og ikke-planlagte i danskfagets rum. Læremidler er blevet et dominerende perspektiv på uddannelse og undervisning, hvilket forstærker ideen om, at mennesket kan kontrollere og designe med ‘ting i verden’, og i forlængelse af dette, at undervisning kan styres, målrettes og designes. Med posthumane teorier om begær og assemblager forstyrrer artiklen ideerne om didaktisk intentionalitet og det kontrollerede skolerum. Det sker gennem haptiske analyser af videoempiri fra danskundervisningen i 1. og en 7. klasse. Her undersøges elevers sanselige og uforudsigelige møder med pinde som ‘mærkelige’ materialiteter. Analyserne viser, hvordan disse ‘tryllepinde’ producerer begær, der forstyrrer skolerum og gør dem mere intense, uforudsigelige og levende. Artiklens hovedpointer er, at skizofrent begær kan frigøre læringsrum og skabe elevagens, at intentionalitet emergerer relationelt, og at der er behov for det uforudsigelige i skolen.

Faworyzowanie własnych produktów lub usług przez dominujące platformy internetowe zintegrowane pionowo jako dyskryminacyjne nadużycie pozycji dominującej
Authors:   Zakład Prawa Konkurencji w Instytucie Nauk Prawnych Polskiej Akademii Nauk, Szmigielski Artur
Published: December 2024

Praktykę w postaci faworyzowania własnych zintegrowanych pionowo usług przez dominującą platformę internetową można oceniać jako samoistną praktykę dyskryminacji zakazaną na mocy art. 102 akapit drugi lit. c). Nie oznacza to jednak, że przedsiębiorstwo dominujące ma bezwzględny obowiązek równego traktowania produktów lub usług swoich partnerów handlowych. Tego typu praktyki powinny być uznawane za nadużycie, jeżeli stwarzają niekorzystne warunki konkurencji i mają istotne antykonkurencyjne skutki. To, czego zakazuje praktyka dyskryminacyjna, nie odnosi się do samego faktu faworyzowania własnych usług, lecz do sytuacji, w której rywale stawiani są w niekorzystnej sytuacji konkurencyjnej, a przez co osłabieniu ulegają istotne parametry konkurencji, np. innowacyjność i możliwość wyboru konsumentów.

W artykule nakreślono temat odpowiedzialności przedsiębiorców za działania podejmowane przy użyciu (udziale) sztucznej inteligencji, stanowiące naruszenie zakazu zawierania porozumień ograniczających konkurencję. W szczególności skupiono się na aktualnie najistotniejszej w tym kontekście, w świetle dotychczasowych doświadczeń stosowania prawa konkurencji, kwestii korzystania z (dynamicznych) algorytmów cenowych.

Podczas niedawno przeprowadzonej konsultacji Komisji Europejskiej w sprawie oceny aspektów proceduralnych i jurysdykcyjnych unijnej kontroli koncentracji Komisja wyraziła istotne wątpliwości co do zachowania systemu notyfikowania koncentracji opartego tylko na kryterium obrotowym, które może zawierać istotne luki, gdy chodzi o przejęcia mające miejsce na rynkach cyfrowym i farmaceutycznym. W dobie Big Data, w której bazy danych mają coraz większe znaczenie rynkowe, aktualnie obowiązujące progi jurysdykcyjne mogą się okazać niewystarczające, by wykryć antykonkurencyjne przejęcia na rynku cyfrowym. W ramach tego artykułu naukowego oceniono, czy wprowadzenie nowych kryteriów jest zasadne. Dokonano również analizy nowelizacji niemieckiego i austriackiego prawa ochrony konkurencji wprowadzających nowe kryterium „wysokości wynagrodzenia” (zwane także kryterium „wartości transakcji”) obok kryterium obrotowego do postępowań koncentracyjnych.
Zakaz posługiwania się znakami towarowymi w reklamie internetowej i zakaz współpracy z porównywarkami cenowymi jako ograniczenie konkurencji w kontekście orzeczenia Bundesgerichtshof z 12 grudnia 2017 roku
Authors: Targański Bartosz

Sprawa wpisuje się w szereg spraw z ostatnich lat, w których organy konkurencji UE rozpatrywały dopuszczalny zakres ograniczania sprzedaży detalicznych w Internecie przez producentów. Zgodnie z decyzją Bundeskartellamt z 26 sierpnia 2015 r. i orzeczeniami sądów niemieckich bezwzględny zakaz posługiwania się znakami towarowymi w reklamie internetowej i zakaz współpracy z porównywarkami cenowymi nałożony na dystrybutorów przez producenta stanowi naruszenie art. 101 ust. 1 TFUE ze względu na cel i nie korzysta z wyłączenia blokowego i indywidualnego. Rozstrzygnięcie opiera się na stwierdzeniu naruszenia zasady ekwiwalentności ograniczeń w sprzedaży internetowej i tradycyjnej. Zdaniem autora, taki sposób oceny nie zawsze jest słuszny. Ze względu na odmienność obydwu kanałów dystrybucji, wskazanie ekwiwalentnych ograniczeń może być obiektywnie niemożliwe. Rozstrzygnięcie nie wyjaśnia również dostatecznie precyzyjnie, jakie obiektywne czynniki decydują o uznaniu danego towaru za luksusowy. Oznacza to w dalszym ciągu brak pewności co do dopuszczalnego zakresu ograniczeń w sprzedaży internetowej.
Po co komu moje dane? Omówienie opinii francuskiego organu ds. konkurencji dotyczącej wykorzystania danych w sektorze reklamy internetowej
Authors: Hartung Natalia
Published: December 2024

Poniższy artykuł omawia opinię francuskiego organu ds. konkurencji dotyczącą wykorzystania danych w sektorze reklamy internetowej. Pierwsza część artykułu opisuje funkcjonowanie rynku reklamy internetowej, w tym działanie reklamy programatycznej, znaczenie danych i internautów oraz pozycję kluczowych graczy na rynku reklamy internetowej, czyli Google’a i Facebooka. Druga część prezentuje wstępną analizę rynku reklamy internetowej z perspektywy prawa konkurencji. Organ rozważa następujące rynki właściwe: usług dla internautów, reklamy na portalach społecznościowych, reklamy graficznej, reklamy typu Search oraz usług pośredniczenia i analizy danych. Następnie Organ zwraca uwagę na problematyczne praktyki stosowane na tych rynkach, m.in. stosowanie sprzedaży wiązanej, cen drapieżnych i wyłączności, wykorzystywanie efektu dźwigni, utrudnienia w interoperacyjności czy dyskryminujące warunki. Ostatnia część artykułu porusza tematy, które nie zostały dogłębnie przeanalizowane w opinii, a mianowicie dwustronny aspekt rynku reklamy internetowej oraz czy dane mogą być traktowane jako nowe narzędzie wymiany w gospodarce cyfrowej.
Large decline in hooded seal (Cystophora cristata) pup production off of northeastern Newfoundland in 2012 and 2017

Accurate data on population abundance is needed to monitor trends through time, especially for species that are commercially harvested or vulnerable to climate change related impacts. Hooded seals (Cystophora cristata) in the Northwest Atlantic whelp on drifting sea ice in three areas: Davis Strait, the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence and off of northeastern Newfoundland (“Front”), Canada, with the majority of whelping (>90%) occurring at the Front. They are harvested in Canada and Greenland but have not been assessed since 2005. Aerial surveys for harp seals (Pagophilus groenlandicus) took place at the Front in 2012 and 2017. These surveys also captured the vast majority of hooded seal whelping patches in these years and so were used to estimate hooded seal pup production at the Front. Pup production was estimated from photo (2012 and 2017) and visual (2017 only) line-transect surveys. Staging data from 2004, 2005 and 2017 were used to correct these estimates for the proportion of pups not born on the survey days, resulting in total pup production estimates of 41,129 (SE = 7,374) and 39,021 (SE = 18,334) pups in 2012 and 2017, respectively. This is a large decrease from the previous estimate, being 38% and 36%, respectively, of the pup production estimated on the Front in 2005. Extensive reconnaissance that failed to locate whelping hooded seals in Davis Strait (2024) or outside the traditional whelping area at the Front (2012, 2017), along with low sea-ice coverage in the Gulf of St. Lawrence makes it unlikely that significant whelping was redistributed to other areas. The large decline in pup production after 2005 mirrors a similar decline and continued low level of pup production for hooded seals in the Greenland Sea that occurred between 1997 and 2005/07. Although the cause of the decline in the Northwest Atlantic is unknown, it is possible that negative impacts of ecosystem change on female fecundity and juvenile survival, as has been documented for harp seals in the Northwest Atlantic, are also impacting hooded seals.

In this paper, a theoretical analysis of the laser reflection method for measurement of the radius of curvature for a circular-symmetric lenses was carried out. The measurements of the radius of curvature for a spherical and aspherical lenses were taken. The use of the criterion function in the calculation for minimalization of the uncertainty of radius curvature for a spherical lens has been demonstrated. The parameters of the function describing measurements and minimizing their uncertainty were determined.
