Published: January 2025

The objective of this study was to ascertain the optimal timing for the interplanting of rice with groundnuts, with the aim of minimising the damage caused by granivorous birds at the emergence stage, while simultaneously enhancing the yield of paddy rice.
To achieve this objective, two trials (seasons A and B) were conducted using a randomised block design with four replications, each with five treatments. The treatments correspond to the times when inserting rice between the groundnut rows, 60 days after sowing, ensures a higher emergence rate (97%) and significantly reduces the incidence of bird damage (3%) at emergence, compared with the other times tested.
The insertion of rice between the rows of groundnuts between 60 and 80 days after sowing resulted in a reduction in the incidence of bird damage at emergence, with an incidence of 1-5% of pods dug up by birds. Subsequently, at 90 days after sowing, damage reaches 6-25%, leading to a reduction in paddy rice production.
This technique provides farmers with a degree of flexibility in terms of guarding at emergence. It demonstrates a positive symbiotic relationship between the two crops. It reduces the cost of guarding the crop at emergence. It also makes it possible to have two cropping cycles per year.

Authors: Nagar Ritu , Titov Anurag , Bhati Praveesh
Published: January 2025

Composting is a process carried out by microorganisms, wherein the biomass of organic waste is reduced due to the utilization of organic compounds and evaporation of water. The present study aimed to investigate the rate of biomass reduction of sandalwood plant leaves. The experiment involved both dry and green leaves in two proportions: 100% and 50%. Cattle dung (100%) served as the control. The results showed that the biomass of leaf waste was reduced by 75-77% of the total initial volume, whereas cattle dung exhibited a reduction of only 57%. Notably, a higher reduction in biomass occurred during the initial phase of composting in both 100% and 50% leaf waste. Interestingly, in dry leaf waste, a greater reduction was observed in the 50% mixture compared to the 100% mixture, whereas in green waste, the reduction was more pronounced in the 100% mixture.

Este trabajo analiza la celebración de elecciones municipales en el Perú en elcontexto de la guerra civil que enfrentó al gobierno provisorio liberal del generalRamón Castilla con las fuerzas conservadoras sublevadas del general ManuelIgnacio de Vivanco entre noviembre de 1856 y marzo de 1858. Se argumenta queestas elecciones no fueron afectadas directamente por el conflicto bélico, peroen cambio, estuvieron ocasionalmente condicionados por un discurso“guerracivilista”. Al activarse esta retórica, se llegó a cuestionar el funcionamientode los municipios, como fue el caso de la alcaldía de la ciudad de Lima acusadade conspiradora.

The use of artificial neural networks in creating ceramic and refractory materials
Authors: Ligezin S. L. , Pitak Y. M.
Published: January 2025

Using artificial neural networks (ANNs) in chemical and technological calculations to create ceramic and refractory materials allows for high accuracy in predicting the mechanical properties of final products, including cold crushing strength. This significantly reduces experimental costs, as the model can generate predictions for various compositions and process parameters without the need for many physical tests.
The paper considers the use of ANNs to predict the mechanical strength of carbon­containing ceramic materials and determine the rational amount of oxidizing agents that intensify carbon burning from ceramic masses containing 20 to 30 wt. % of coal preparation waste. It has been established that the ANNs can provide a comprehensive assessment of the effect of oxidants on the cold crushing strength of the material. Particularly effective are the nitrate mixtures of 80 % wt. % NH4NO3 + 20 % wt. % NaNO3 and 80 % wt. % NH4NO3 + 20 % wt. % Ca(NO3)2, which maximally covers the temperature range and contributes to the maximum increase in cold crushing strength at minimal costs compared to mono­oxidants.
The original author’s software “CeramMath” for testing and working with ANNs adapted to the tasks of silicate materials science was created.
It has been shown that ANNs are a powerful tool for improving technological processes in producing ceramic and refractory materials, which allows for minimizing experimental costs, improving product quality, and ensuring high production efficiency.

Perspektif Tokoh Masyarakat Kajang terhadap Aturan Kasta dalam Adat Pernikahan dan Relevansinya dengan Fikih Islam
Authors: Rapung Rapung , Muntazar Ahmad , Risnawati Risnawati
Published: January 2025

Perkembangan Islam di Sulawesi Selatan tepatnya di Kecamatan Kajang Kabupaten Bulukumba turut memberi imbas dan pengaruh dalam aspek adat dan budaya masyarakat Kajang yang dikenal sangat ketat berpegang pada tradisi dan budaya, termasuk dalam hal aturan kasta dalam pernikahan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan jenis penelitian field research atau penelitian lapangan dengan menggunakan dua metode pendekatan yaitu pendekatan sosial dan pendekatan teologi normatif (syarin toleransi sedikitpu), serta mengambil sumber dari data primer dan data sekunder melalui hasil dari wawancara beberapa tokoh masyarakat Kajang, serta buku-buku maupun jurnal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: 1). Bahwa perspektif tokoh masyarakat Kajang terkait tradisi kasta dalam pernikahan terbagi menjadi dua, sebagian tidak memberika n kepada perempuan Karaeng (bangsawan) untuk menikah dengan laki-laki Ata dan sebagian lain memberi toleransi padanya, kendati semua sepakat bahwa dalam agama semua orang setara di mata Tuhan terkait pilihan hidupnya. 2). Dalam fikih Islam penetapan “kasta” lebih mendekat istilah kufu’ atau kesetaraan. Bisa dilihat, bahwa aturan kasta dalam adat pernikahan Kajang dalam hal ini, masih relevan dari satu sisi dan tidak relevan dari sisi yang lain. Jika melihat dari pendapat mazhab Hanafi maka aturan pernikahan kasta tampak relevan dengan hukum Islam akan tetapi jika melihat dari konsekuensi dari aturan pernikahan kasta maka hal tersebut tampak tidak relevan dengan fikih Islam.

Comparison of primer and probe sets for Hepatitis E virus detection by real time PCR
Authors: Rudova N. G. , Solodiankin O. S. , Lymanska O. Yu.
Published: January 2025

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infects humans and several mammals and it has eight genotypes (HEV1–HEV8). HEV1–HEV4 is the causative agent of hepatitis E in humans. HEV5–HEV6 was detected only in wild boar in Japan. HEV7–HEV8 was detected in camels. HEV3–HEV4 is characterized by zoonotic potential and main natural reservoirs for this virus are swines and wild boars. Besides, HEV3 was detected in deers, dolphins, rabbits, cattle, goats that is additional risk for virus interspecies transmission from domestic animals to humans. In this paper two primer and probe sets for HEV detection by real time PCR were characterized on the basis of computer analysis of conservative fragments of overlapping open reading frames ORF2/ORF3 of HEV genome. Availability of mismatched nucleotides in the complexes of primer/probe with viral targets was applied for estimation of primer sets. One of those primer sets from literature data was tested on the first World Health Organization International Standard for HEV RNA. The second primer set is highly cited in scientific articles on PCR HEV detection in PubMed biomedical literature database. Multiple alignment was performed on the basis of computer analysis of nucleotide sequences of overlapping open reading frames ORF2/ORF3 for 108 isolates of RNA HEV genomes from GenBank by MEGA 6.0 software. It was determined that 38 HEV isolates from 108 HEV3–HEV4 analyzed isolates for mentioned above primer and probe sets have one or two mismatched nucleotides for primer (probe) complex with single-stranded amplicon. These degeneracies may reduce sensitivity and specificity of PCR assay due to decreasing effective primer concentration, complication of estimating primer annealing temperatures

Published: January 2025

Dental implants to replace missing teeth have increased drastically over the past decade and implant-supported prosthesis have reported
improvement in their quality of life, assurance, and self-confidence including psychological benefits and conservation of the tooth structure
adjacent to the teeth to be replaced. For every dental practitioner, it is essential to know whether patients are well acquainted with the current
advancements in dental health care. Knowing what the patients know about dental implants helps to match the patient's expectations with what can
realistically be achieved. This survey aims to assess the level of knowledge, attitude and acceptance of dental patients regarding dental implants as a
treatment modality. This study includes information on demographic characteristics, knowledge about implants as an option for missing teeth
replacement, source of information and knowledge about other options of tooth replacement obtained from 1000 patients visiting various OPD of
Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences using a self-explanatory survey in local language (English and Hindi). Summary: Our study
emphasizes the necessity of raising dental implant therapy awareness in India. Many patients at MAIDS, Delhi were not aware that implants might
restore lost teeth, according to a survey of the patients. Both dental practitioners and regulatory agencies should work to increase public awareness
because dentists are the main information source. During consultations, dentists should make sure that patients are knowledgeable about implant
therapy and its advantages.
INFLUENCE OF GLYCEMIC CONTROL, USE OF ADJUNCTS AND ANTIBIOTIC PROPHYLAXIS ON SOCKET HEALING IN DIABETICS: A REVIEW OF CURRENT CLINICAL GUIDELINES
Authors: Nityasri A. , Prasad Kavitha
Published: January 2025

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder associated with a wide range of complications. Extraction of teeth is the most
common out-patient dental procedure in these patients. Delayed wound healing, persistent pain, inammation, infection, and dry socket in relation
to the post-extraction sockets are some of the unfavourable outcomes seen. There is less evidence on the correlation between HbA1c level and post
extraction healing and complications. There is ambiguity in administration of routine antibiotics in diabetics after simple tooth extraction. Recently
multiple adjuncts are used in the extraction socket to improve the wound healing in diabetic patients. Methods: This article critically reviewed
twenty-three researches published between 2012- 2023 in esteemed journals related to diabetes, extraction of teeth, wound healing, post extraction
complications, glycemic control and antibiotic prophylaxis. Results And Conclusion: Routine antibiotic prophylaxis in diabetics is not required
for simple extractions. The level of glycemic control does not inuence the socket healing or increase the risk of developing complications post
extraction of teeth. The application of agents improved the healing in the extraction socket by hastening socket closure and bone regeneration in
diabetic patients.

Authors: Rathi Varsha , Gupta Yamini , Verma Jagram , Kumari Nirmala , Dhurwey Prem Prakash
Published: January 2025

Introduction: - This study highlights the multifaceted approach to managing allergic rhinitis, emphasizing the effectiveness of various topical
treatments. Rhinitis, marked by nasal irritation and inammation, manifests as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and post-nasal drip, often
triggered by viruses, bacteria, irritants, or allergens. The study conrms that the combination of Xylometazoline, Fluticasone Furoate, and
Azelastine is particularly effective in alleviating symptoms compared to single-agent therapies. Xylometazoline and oxymetazoline, as nasal
decongestants, reduce mucosal edema through vasoconstriction, while topical nasal steroids like Fluticasone Furoate offer superior long-term
relief by targeting the underlying inammation. Azelastine, a second-generation antihistamine with additional anti-inammatory and mast cellstabilizing effects, demonstrates rapid and sustained symptom relief. Methods: - AProspective comparative study was conducted on 120 patients
who reported symptoms of allergic rhinitis were categorised randomly in 4 groups with equal members who were treated with different
combinations of topical agents. Results: - The study shows that allergic rhinitis primarily presents with varied signs and symptoms. Among the
treatment provided, the combination of Xylometazoline, Fluticasone Furoate, and Azelastine was the most effective, signicantly reducing nasal
discharge from 80% to 8.3% over two months. Xylometazoline and Fluticasone Furoate also provided substantial relief, while Azelastine was less
effective on its own. Conclusion: -. The study evaluated various treatments, nding that the combination of Xylometazoline, Fluticasone Furoate,
and Azelastine was the most effective in reducing nasal discharge and related symptoms. This combination therapy demonstrated superior results
in alleviating symptoms and improving patient outcomes compared to single-agent treatments.

serological marker for Hepatitis B infection among Pregnant women. Serum samples of pregnant women who were attending ANC clinics at the
obstetrics & gynecology department were subjected to HBsAg detection by using rapid antigen card test (RAT) and positive results conrmed by
ELISA test. ELISA test positive mothers' baby samples were taken in the early neonatal period and were subjected to ELISA test for detection of
vertical transmission of infection. Result:Among the 9022 cases, 50 pregnant women were found to be seropositive for HBsAg by Rapid card test.
& after conrmation 47 were found seropositive for HBsAg and 3 were found to be seronegative. The estimated Sero-prevalence is 0.52% and
Vertical transmission was found in 20.45 % of cases, perinatal mortality was found in 2.12% % of cases, and miscarriage was found in 4.2 % of
cases. Conclusion: The aim of the study was to estimate the seroprevalence, to determine the mother-to-child transmission, and to study the Fetomaternal outcome of Pregnancy of HBsAg Positive women. HBs Ag positive women are mostly asymptomatic, Screening of all pregnant women
irrespective of risk factors will denitely help to know the correct prevalence and reduce the transmission of hepatitis B infection. Prevention of
perinatal transmission is possible with Immuno-prophylaxis of babies shortly after birth. If the pregnant women remain undiagnosed and are not
managed in time, the future burden of the disease on society and healthcare resources would be very high.

Authors: Sharma Leena , Pandey Virendra Prasad
Published: January 2025

Background: High-risk pregnancies are associated with increased maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, necessitating advanced diagnostic
tools for better outcomes. Colour Doppler ultrasonography, a non-invasive imaging technique, provides critical insights into maternal and fetal
hemodynamics. To analyze the role of Colour Doppler studies in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes Objective: in high-risk pregnancies.
Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at KD Medical College, Mathura, UP, over 12 months. A total of 100
pregnant women were included, categorized into high-risk (n=50) and normal pregnancies (n=50). Doppler indices of the middle cerebral artery
(MCA), umbilical artery (UA), bilateral uterine arteries (UtA), and ductus venosus (DV) were assessed. Adverse fetal and maternal outcomes were
recorded and statistically analyzed. High-risk pregnancies had signicantly higher adverse maternal Results: outcomes (88% vs. 22%; p<0.0001)
and fetal outcomes (86% vs. 26%; p<0.0001) compared to normal pregnancies. Specic Doppler parameters such as MCA S/D ratio (2.61 vs. 2.29;
p=0.0344) and right uterine artery resistive index (0.81 vs. 1.03; p=0.0483) demonstrated signicant predictive value for adverse outcomes.
Preterm labor (62%), NICU admissions (38%), and low APGAR scores were notably higher in the high-risk group. Colour Doppler Conclusion:
ultrasonography is an invaluable tool for identifying at-risk fetuses in high-risk pregnancies, enabling early intervention to mitigate adverse
outcomes. Larger multicenter studies are required for standardization and validation of these ndings.

Authors: Sen Sujan , Debbarma Lina , Bhattacharjee Mousumi
Published: January 2025

Climate change continues to represent one of the greatest threats to the global environment, society and the economy. India is especially vulnerable
to climate change due to its geographical position. The objective is to nd out the effectiveness of planed teaching program regarding health
problem related to climate change among adults. The current investigation was based on Penders' "health promotion model" 1982; revised, 1996.
Fifty 50 adults from Ujan Abhoynagar SD (Satellite Dispensary), Agartala, participated in this pre-experimental investigation. For the study, a
purposeful sampling strategy was used. A ve-point Likert attitude scale, structured interview schedule were used in interviews to obtain pre-test
information. Following the implementation of the scheduled planned teaching program, a post-test using the same instrument was administered.
The mean post-test knowledge 58.22±5.91 and attitude score 46.44±1.61 were higher than the mean pre-test knowledge 24.32±6.01 and attitude
score 37.98±1.77, as indicated by the paired "t" test values for knowledge and attitude scores, which were 28.97 and 25.63, respectively. A negative
correlation r=-0.05 was observed between the pre-test knowledge and pre-test attitude scores, although a weak positive association was observed
following the post-test knowledge and post test attitude scores r=0.25. At the 0.05 signicance level, a signicant correlation was seen between the
pretest attitude score and educational qualication 'χ2' = 18.97 and the pretest knowledge score with gender alone 'χ2' = 7.78. The ndings of the
study concluded that planned teaching program were an effective among adults to increase knowledge and improve the attitude regarding health
related to climate change.
EFFECT OF MULTISENSORY STIMULATION ON NEUROBEHAVIORAL REGULATION IN PRETERM INFANTS- A SCOPING REVIEW
Authors: Manek Monica , Jaywant Shailaja
Published: January 2025

Introduction: The intrauterine environment plays a pivotal role in fetal development, providing essential sensory stimuli such as tactile,
vestibular, and auditory inputs. These stimuli are crucial for the normal growth and maturation of the fetus. When infants face complications that
necessitate admission to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), they may experience decits in sensory processing which necessitate external
sensory stimulation. Purpose: This scoping review examines recent literature on multisensory stimulation's effects on neurobehavioral regulation
in preterm infants. Methodology: Articles were searched on PUBMED and Google Scholar using the following search terms: multisensory
stimulation, preterm, neurobehavioral regulation. The inclusion criteria was: a) Full-text articles in the last 15 years and interventional studies, b)
Articles including multisensory stimulation as an intervention and neurobehavioral regulation as the outcome. The following articles were
excluded: a) Systematic reviews, b) Case reports, and c) Medical intervention. Results: Out of 214 articles reviewed, 13 met inclusion criteria,
demonstrating the benecial effects of early multisensory interventions. Studies highlighted signicant improvements in tone, motor patterns,
reexes, and social interaction (P<0.05), particularly with tactile and vestibular stimulation. Limb activity (40.3%) and yawning (21.7%) were
common responses observed, indicating heightened responsiveness to tactile stimuli. Conclusion: Early NICU interventions with multisensory
stimulation improve neurobehavioral regulation in preterm infants by compensating for sensory decits

Published: January 2025

Flexible denture bases combined with cast partial frameworks represent an innovative approach for managing partially edentulous arches, offering
improved aesthetics, retention, and patient comfort. This review and case series highlight the advantages, materials, and clinical applications of
exible dentures. Thermoplastic resins, including polyamides and polycarbonates, provide enhanced exibility, biocompatibility, and
translucency, making them ideal for aesthetic and functional restorations. However, these materials have limitations such as discoloration, surface
roughening, and difculty in repair. The article details two cases where exible denture bases with cast frameworks effectively restored multiple
edentulous areas. Strategic planning, including the use of occlusal and cingulum rest seats, anterio-posterior straps, and lingual plates, ensured
vertical force transmission, cross-arch stabilization, and enhanced hygiene. Injection moulding techniques facilitated precise adaptation, resulting
in reduced mobility and improved mastication. The discussion emphasizes the benets of exible dentures in utilizing undercuts, maintaining
peripheral seals, and preventing ridge resorption, especially in anterior aesthetic regions. This study underscores the clinical utility and challenges
of integrating exible materials with cast partial frameworks, advocating for their thoughtful application in prosthodontic treatment

L’esperienza del mondo
Authors: Matteini David
Published: January 2025

In the second half of the 18th century, the myth of Italy experienced a moment of profound redefinition, offering space for reflection that, compared to the past, took on more anthropological and political traits. A moment of unique existential education, the journey to Italy thus becomes an opportunity for authors to question and renegotiate their own worldviews. By comparing the accounts of the Italian journeys made by Goethe and the Marquis de Sade and analysing their novels that drew inspiration from these experiences, this volume aims to highlight two paroxysmal moments of the jagged European Enlightenment culture that, precisely in the intricate Italian imagination, often found its motives.
