Authors: Fathurrachman Batara Sulo Andi , Fiqri Vigriawan Bataralipu Andi , Ansori Ansori
Published: March 2023

The conventional product design process and the design results from the designer need to be evaluated and optimized in terms of the manufacturing process and assembly process by the manufacturing department. In this process, it is sometimes necessary to make design changes that must be consulted with the designer to make it more efficient. This can be seen from three aspects of the product, namely quality, cost, and production time. A very applicable method to meet the needs of these 3 aspects of the product is the design method for manufacturing. One solution that can be applied is the design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) method. DFMA is a method to evaluate the design of a product so that it can be easily assembled and manufactured. This paper will explain the application of the DFMA method to several applied technology product designs. As a case example for the application of the DFMA method, the development of a post-stroke bicycle frame from the initial design to the final design step, namely prototyping, is observed. A prototype was also evaluated with the help of the DFMA method and the evaluation results showed that the application of the DFM method provided significant improvements, where the total components of the bicycle frame at the beginning of the design were 53 pieces, in the final design could be reduced to 29 pieces (45%), with design efficiency increasing by 1.04%.

Published: March 2023

In Mexico, there are no reports of the presence of Acidovorax citrulli, the causal agent of bacterial fruit blotch and seedling blight in cucurbits. The introduction of A. citrulli is a latent risk due to the importation of seeds and seedlings. Fruits and plants with typical symptoms of this disease have been observed in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) production fields of small growers and commercial nurseries in the municipality of Hopelchén, Campeche. The objective was to detect A. citrulli by PCR in watermelon seedlings in a production area in Hopelchén, with the hypothesis that the bacterium is present in this municipality. In December 2018, 51 samples of nine watermelon varieties were collected from two seedling production nurseries. Each sample contained ten symptomatic seedlings ranging in age from 12 to 41 days. End-point PCR analysis with primers WFB1 and WFB2 indicated the presence of A. citrulli in 68.6 % of the samples; immuno-PCR results confirmed the presence of the bacterium in 80.9 % of these samples. Consensus 16S rRNA gene fragment sequences from eight samples aligned with 98 % similarity on average to A. citrulli sequences deposited in the GenBank-NCBI database. The dark, sunken, elongated lesions on cotyledonal leaves, as well as the black, spreading lesions from the margin to the base of true leaves observed on watermelon seedlings, were caused by A. citrulli. This study constitutes a new report of A. citrulli in Campeche, which should be considered to delimit and prevent the spread of the bacterium to other cucurbit-producing areas in Mexico.

Published: March 2023

Georges Didi-Huberman trabaja con las imágenes; ellas nos abren el panorama a la historia del mundo, del contexto de la civilización, nos llevan a descubrir nuestra propia historia, por medio de una conexión entre imagen y pensamiento, y para ello, él recurre a ilustres pensadores de la imagen. Uno de ellos, quien lo ha influido fuerte y directamente, ha sido Walter Benjamin. Entre imagen y lenguaje no habría una verdadera distancia ontológica en ambos casos de trata de signos; signos que son el resultado de la convención. El concepto de redención es un tema recurrente en la obra benjamiana, el cual tomará Huberman para darle un enfoque a la imagen como camino para conocer las deudas que se han adquirido en el pasado y, de alguna manera, nos siguen afectando en el presente.

Published: March 2023

This research aimed to examine higher education instructors’ performance assessment in determining the cut-off point by setting criteria on the Wright map from big data. It is followed by designing performance assessment standards and assessing their quality. A total of 603 instructors from a Thai public university were selected as participants. The researchers employed a design-based research method encompassing four phases: analyzing the results of the performance assessment, formulating the standards-setting appraisal, applying trial and quality inspection, and improving the standards-setting appraisal approach. Data were analyzed using the Rasch model and the Maximum Likelihood Estimation method. The results of the determination of the cut-off point in terms of assessing instructors’ performance indicated that there are four cut-off points in ascending order, specifically, -11.67, -2.68, 4.59, and 9.76. The standards-setting appraisal showed that the assessment criteria consisted of five score ranges converted from estimation competency parameters into the scale and raw scores, respectively. Even though the standards-setting appraisal was determined, the researchers found that the transition point with regard to determination will be accurate and consistent in terms of those instructors who are at a moderate to high competency level and not suitable for evaluating those at a low competency level. The standards-setting appraisal approach is relevant for use as a criterion for recruiting and selecting higher education instructors. It can also support the development of sustainable human capital. It implies that instructors must possess high core competencies to match the high demand for quality teaching.

Published: March 2023

This inquiry is predicated on the datum or truism that all technologies have a gap  and or become obsolete at some point, and the utilization of passé technologies and  methods predisposes the agricultural sector to underdevelopment. It investigates  technological paucities and fixes for NSPRI technologies (NSPRI Smoking Kiln  (NSK), Parabolic-shaped Solar Dryer (PSSD), Ice Fish Box® (IFB®), Hermetic Steel  Drum (HSD) and Ventilated Plastic Crate (VPC)) from the perspective of users of  the technologies. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design using the in person method as its feedback mechanism in 18 states across 6 geopolitical zones  in Nigeria. Data were obtained through interview schedules supplemented with  key informant interviews while a multi-stage sampling procedure was employed in  the selection of respondents. Firstly, eighteen (18) States where NSPRI postharvest  technologies have been disseminated and adopted were purposively selected.  Secondly, users of improved NSPRI postharvest technologies were selected from  diverse locations within the states earlier selected. Non-probabilistic techniques  particularly snowballing were also employed at this stage. Frequencies, percentages,  means and weighted averages were employed in the analysis of data components.  Results showed that 70% of respondents have never provided feedback on NSPRI  technologies. Executives of various associations was used by 45% of NSK users,  59% of IFB users, and 48% of VPC users to provide feedback while 43% of PSSD  users and 40% of HSD users shared opinions through NSPRI extension staff. In  general, there exists a strong (NSK: 94% PSSD: 95.2% IFB®: 91% HSD: 88.6% VPC:  74.5%) willingness to recommend technologies among respondents even as they  provided positive feedback on use parameters and components of the technologies.  However, respondents opined that the roller and chimney (NSK), durability of  polypropylene cover (PSSD), draining of thawed ice (IFB®), and bolted ring (HSD)  require improvement.

Published: March 2023

Marbofloxacin, a veterinary–exclusive antimicrobial drug of third–generation fluoroquinolone class, exhibits wide spectrum antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative as well as Gram-positive bacteria, and thus, is a promising agent to treat susceptible bacterial infections in poultry. Therefore, the present study was conducted to derive dosage regimen of marbofloxacin based on the results of intravenous and oral pharmacokinetic (PK) trial in sixteen healthy broiler chickens. Plasma concentrations of marbofloxacin were measured by optimized and in-house validated Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) method. The PK parameters were calculated from plasma concentrations versus time data by non-compartmental analysis using ‘PK Solver 2.0’ software. Following oral administration of marbofloxacin at the dose rate of 5 mg/kg body weight, the mean maximal plasma concentration (Cmax: 2.193 µg/ml) was achieved at 1.68 h. Marbofloxacin showed long half-life (6.03 h), high volume of distribution (2.64 L/Kg) and good oral bioavailability (88.10 %). The average plasma concentration of marbofloxacin ≥ 0.32 µg/ml was maintained upto 12 h and 0.10 µg/ml at 24 h. Based on the values of PK-PD integrated indices, it is concluded that oral dose of marbofloxacin @ 5.0 mg/kg body weight, to be repeated at 24 h, would be efficient to treat common bacterial pathogens of broiler chickens having MIC ≤ 0.12 μg/ml.

Published: March 2023

Membranous tracheitis is an important pathological condition affecting the trachea in animals, usually associated with immunosuppression. This report describes the pathological findings associated with diphtheric tracheitis in an immunocompromised adult buffalo. A carcass of an adult buffalo, with a history of dyspnea, and a large amount of reddish foam flowing from the mouth and nose, presented for necropsy. Detailed postmortem examination was conducted and representative tissue samples were collected for bacteriological isolation and histopathological examination. Macroscopic examination revealed whitish, pale or red coloured blood mixed heavy froth in lumen of trachea with a tightly adhered greenish colour diphtheritic membrane to mucosa. Lungs showed, circular to irregular shaped blackish suffusions, consolidation, along with thin layer of fibrin covering all the lobes. Microscopic examination revealed fibrinous tracheitis and serofibrinous pneumonia in lungs. Mediastinal lymphnode showed severe lymphoid depletion. Bacteriological isolation from tracheal swab and lungs confirmed the presence of Escherichia coli using VITEK 2 system indicating its role in pathogenesis of diphtheritic membrane formation in presence of immunosupression.
Ultrasonographic and Cytological Analysis of Sub-Involution of Placental Sites in a Bitch: A Case Report
Authors: Jena Dayanidhi Jena , Kadam Rahul G. , Sakshi
Published: March 2023

Sub-involution of the placental site (SIPS) is characterized by presence of abnormally low-resistance widely dilated uteroplacental arteries in the absence of substantial amounts of retained products of conception (Petrovitch, 2009). It is a problem which occurs due to delay in uterine involution and is clinically characterized by continuous sanguineous vaginal discharge after parturition. This is mainly seen in young bitches after first whelping principally due to aberrations in normal healing of maternal endometrium. Although it is quite normal physiologically to have hemorrhagic vaginal discharge after whelping up to 3 weeks, but if it lasts for more than 3 weeks than it is considered as sub-involution of placental sites. However, this discharge can last up to 7-12 weeks post-whelping (Johnston et al., 2001). The primary reason for this sero-sanguinous discharge is excessive invasion of trophoblast cells into deeper layer of uterine tissues even after whelping and voiding of placental tissues. Under normal physiological conditions, it regresses slowly during involution, but in cases leading to SIPS the trophoblast cells penetrate deeper and deeper into maternal endometrium resulting in prolonged sero-sanguinous discharge. In some cases the continuous blood discharge may predispose the animal to anaemic condition which needs to be guarded.
A Fractional Treatment to Food-Borne Disease Modeling by q- Homotopy Analysis Transform Method (q-HATM)
Authors: Ajay Kumar Sharma  , Vinod Kumar  , Ram Naresh Singh
Published: March 2023

A non-linear mathematical model has been proposed and examined here portraying impact of biological control of the expansion of the fly population and the transmission of food-borne illnesses. In the model's design, we made the assumption that the human population becomes exposed to food borne illnesses through close contact between those who are vulnerable and those who are already afflicted. In the same way that flies contaminate human food by bringing infectious disease bacteria from the outside in, vulnerable people can also become infected by indirect transmission. Additionally, we employ the fractional approach in the well-known technique known as q-HATM to mathematically analyze suggested model. This technique can be used to acquire the analytical findings of suggested model have convergent series with necessary computation of several important components.

Structural study of the prepared thin films of nickel oxide done by using XRD technique. Further, obtained (NiO) thin films prepared using both synthesis techniques are used for Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) by LSV in 1 M KOH electrolyte. The chemically bath deposited and electro deposited (NiO) thin films exhibited over potential of 324.3 mV and 331.8 mV respectively at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 and corresponding tafel slopes of 75.33 and 87.17 mV dec−1.Hence chemically bath deposited nickel oxide (NiO) thin film electro catalyst showed good catalytic behavior.
Kant e o problema do formalismo jurídico
Authors: Weber Thadeu
Published: March 2023

O propósito do artigo é indicar alguns aspectos da Filosofia jurídico-política de I. Kant que influenciaram a formulação do positivismo jurídico e, ao mesmo tempo, apontar que a solução de problemas resultantes do assim chamado formalismo está na própria Doutrina do Direito do autor. O núcleo central da discussão gira em torno do problema da justiça. O cumprimento puro e simples das condições formais das relações jurídicas pode acarretar consequências injustas. Pode-se, então, recorrer aos princípios em vez de aplicar as leis? O estudo passa por uma distinção entre moralidade e legalidade, sobretudo no que se refere às leis éticas e às leis jurídicas a partir de seu fundamento comum: as leis morais. Inclui, também, uma discussão sobre a ideia de contrato social do filósofo alemão, evidenciando a autonomia como instância legitimadora do ordenamento jurídico. Com o propósito de caracterizar o formalismo jurídico, o texto recorre aos elementos constitutivos do conceito do Direito, abordados na introdução da Doutrina do Direito. Por fim, procura mostrar que a solução de alguns problemas originários do formalismo kantiano pode ser encontrada no próprio Kant, embora não resolvidos por ele, sobretudo no que diz respeito a possíveis consequências injustas da aplicação de leis positivas, cuja validade pode ser tida como duvidosa, bem como aos direitos de equidade e de necessidade, cuja efetivação requer o recurso aos princípios da justiça.
A justiça como artifício, campo simbólico e sistema em aberto: Hume leitor de Hobbes
Authors: Limongi Maria Isabel
Published: March 2023

Uma das razões pelas quais Hobbes pode ser considerado o precursor do positivismo jurídico é  sua maneira de pensar o sistema de justiça como um sistema normativo  coerente e completo, autônomo em relação à sua base material,  isto é, às opiniões e interesses que motivam e sustentam sua instituição. A teoria hobbesiana do Estado abre assim o caminho para o fechamento da ordem jurídica reivindicado pelos teóricos do positivismo jurídico. No entanto, acompanhando o modo como Hume dialoga com Hobbes e desenvolve sua teoria do Estado, procurarei mostrar que este fechamento não é o único caminho aberto por esta teoria. Hume a explora e tensiona em sentido inverso, procurando pensar a abertura da normatividade jurídica para as opiniões e práticas sociais que a produzem e sustentam.

Introduction

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between ferroptosis and myocardial fibrosis in atrial fibrillation (AF).

Material and methods

The patient’s left atrial appendage tissue was obtained in cardiac surgery. Sirius red staining, Prussian blue and Western blot were used to detect staining to assess histological fibrosis and ferroptosis changes.

Results

There is a certain correlation between the degree of tissue fibrosis and ferroptosis in AF (r = 0.7763, p = 0.0004). The key proteins related to the regulation of ferroptosis were significantly abnormal in the AF group.

Conclusions

Ferroptosis is involved in myocardial fibrosis of AF and is a potential target for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of AF.

Building skills towards scientific reasoning and critical thinking among the medical students is an integral part of the profession. However, less participation and disinterest towards research has been observed in undergraduate homoeopathic students. So, to assess the change in attitude towards research through a research orientation training, this study was conducted. A study material devised on the concepts of research methodology and significance of research; termed as the Self-developed Research Attitude Training (SRAT), was used. The SRAT training was carried out for 3 days in 2021 and 2022 for the students of 2nd BHMS, 3rd BHMS and 4th BHMS. Research Aptitude Questionnaire (RAQ) were developed for the assessment and the students were asked to fill  the specific set of RAQ questionnaires pre-SRAT and post-SRAT. The change in mean scores of RAQ in all the batches was found to be statistically significant (P<0.001).It is evident that the lack of orientation and motivation in students towards research can be improved through regular and apt methods in the classrooms at all the academic levels.

Abstract. Seagrass meadows are among the most valuable ecosystems on Earth. However, in tropical countries, there is a substantial knowledge gap in “seagrass science”. To address this gap, seagrass soils from three Brazilian coastal regions were investigated (the northeastern, southeastern, and southern coasts). Soil profiles from different geological and bioclimatic settings were sampled, described, and analyzed. Thus, detailed macromorphological descriptions, soil classification, physicochemical analysis (soil particle size, soil pH, pHoxidation, Eh, total organic carbon: TOC), Fe partitioning, and X-ray diffractometry were performed. Additionally, water samples were analyzed for pH, salinity, and ion concentrations. Different environmental settings in the coastal compartments produced contrasting geochemical conditions, which caused different intensities of pedogenetic processes. On the northeastern coast, the denser plant coverage favored higher TOC contents (2.5 ± 0.1 %) and an anaerobic environment (Eh = +134  ± 142 mV) prone to an intense sulfidization (i.e., pyrite formation: Py-Fe). Py-Fe contents in northeastern soils were 6- and 2-fold higher than in southeastern and southern coastal soils, respectively. Conversely, lower TOC contents (0.35 ± 0.15 %) and a suboxic environment (Eh + 203 ± 55 mV) in the southeastern soils, along with the Fe-rich geological surroundings, decreased the intensity of gleization. The contrasting intensities in the soil processes, related to the (seemingly subtle) differences in the geochemistry of each environment, ultimately caused relevant pedodiversity among the studied sites. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the general functioning of tropical seagrass meadows but also have significant environmental implications for studies focused on carbon sequestration in these ecosystems.
