Authors: Fakih Mansour
Published: April 2023

Dialog tentang pemajuan hak asasi manusia dalam satu dasawarsa terakhir, lebih diwarnai perdebatan seputar perlunya pemajuan hak-hak sipil dan politik. Padahal dalam dasawarsa ierakhir ini, kita tengah menyaksikan suatu proses dehumanisasi yang menimpa rakyat miskin, justru menyangkut persoalan ekonomi, social dan budaya yang saling berkaitan. Meningkatnya marginalisasi rakyat bawah, merupakan fenomena kemiskinan yang tidak lagi sekedar dalamArti ketidakcukupan pendapatan untuk memenuhi standard minimum barang dan jasa yang diperlukan, tetapi telah  mencapai fenomena ketidakmampuan dasar kaum miskin unfuk dapat hidup secara bermartabat.

Pelayanan  otoritas  medis dikekinian telah  jauh melesat  dan  membumbung  tinggi di  atas   langit  untuk   menggapai  bintang   komersialisme   dan   profit  oriented sehingga  akar motivasi sosial dan  kemanusiaan, tercerabut dari dedikasi luhurnya sebagaimana amanat Hipokrates.  Kini orang  miskin lebih takut  kepada  ancaman tagihan   rumah  sakit  daripada   sakitnya  sendiri  sehingga   mereka   dilarang  sakit. Terjadi paradoksi  dalam  menempatkan nilai sehat  yang  semula  merupakan anak kandung dari prinsip hak asasi manusia,  kini bergeser  menjadi hamba  kapitalisme.

Polymorphism of the GnRH1 gene and Its effect on some Physiological parameters of Local chickens
Authors: Badi Milad , Ayied Asaad , Al-Salhie Khalid
Published: April 2023

The GnRH1 gene is among the genes that mainly affect reproduction and productive traits in local chickens. The GnRH hormone regulates reproductive activity in poultry by regulating the production of other reproductive hormones, such as LH and FSH, which significantly affect birds' productivity. This study was conducted to detect Genetic polymorphism of the GnRH1 gene in local chickens using PCR-SSCP sequencing. Samples were collected at ages 2, 4, 6, and 8 months of birds (n=50). The results found homogeneity in all encoded regions except for one. Polymorphism was detected in the Exon-4 1SNP site 147 C>G. The results indicated significant differences (P≤ 0.05) for the interaction of sex with the genotype of the LH, as the statistical results show that birds with the genotype CC for both, gender outperformed the birds carrying the genotype CG at the age of 2 and 4 months. The results showed significant differences (P≤ 0.05) in the mean genotype within each month in the mean testosterone concentration in males and estrogen in females. Age progression revealed that the homologous genotype CC-carrying birds had an arithmetic advantage over the CG-carrying birds in terms of the average sex hormone concentration. This gene may serve as a marker that is helpful in the marker-assisted selection of local chicken. This study is one of the first to study polymorphisms GnRH1 in local chickens.

Ciência Política e Natureza Humana na Trilogia Política hobbesiana
Authors: Portela Luis Cesar Yanzer
Published: April 2023

Na obra de Hobbes concernente à política, podem ser destacados The Elements of Law (1640), De Cive (1642) e Leviathan (1651) como textos em que as contribuições originais do filósofo ganham consistência e coerência. Distinção significativa, porém, surge da análise de sua estrutura e consecução, constituindo tema do presente artigo: a omissão, no De Cive, do início dedicado à apresentação das faculdades do homem. Situado temporalmente no centro, o projeto do De Cive parece desfazer afirmações sobre a necessidade de fundar a teoria sobre o governo na análise do homem e suas qualidades determinantes, presente em The Elements e retomada no Leviathan. Hobbes justifica a edificação de uma teoria política sem recurso ao exame da natureza do ente político pelas demandas urgentes de sua época e afirma-a legítima porquanto fundada em princípios conhecidos pela experiência. Daí surge o problema enfrentado aqui: essa mudança de trajetória expositiva, manifesta no De Cive , se confrontada com aquela percorrida nos Elements of Law e em Leviathan não afeta o caráter dedutivo e construtivo da ciência política? Pretendemos mostrar que é a compreensão restrita de natureza humana, como exposição de faculdades constitutivas, aquilo sobre que as diferenças do De Cive incidem, sem diminuir, porém, seu lugar e importância sistemática. Nossa solução reside em ressaltar (1) a distinção entre natureza humana e faculdades inerentes à natureza humana e (2) a diferença de procedimento analítico ou sintético, quando se parte da metódica consecução entre Física, Moral e Política (em Elements of Law e no Leviathan) ou da experiência universal do exercício das faculdades físicas e morais humanas, que constitui o fato do político (no De Cive).
Escritas contemporâneas: o cinema de animação
Authors: Santos Denilson Marques dos
Published: April 2023

A presença das tecnologias, em nosso cotidiano, gerou transformações nos processos comunicacionais, na forma de aprender, na prática de leitura e também na expressão da escrita. A partir de uma reflexão a respeito de concepções de linguagem, o presente artigo tem o objetivo de discutir o conceito de escrita contemporânea apresentando uma síntese da história do cinema de animação. Para caracterizar a pesquisa se usa o arcabouço teórico de Clifford Geertz (1989) e Céu D’Élia (1996), trazendo as questões de cultura, animação, técnica e expressão. Assim, historiar um determinado sistema de representação é um exercício para entendermos como esta cultura expandida vem sofrendo inúmeras transformações tecnológicas. Também se usa o referencial bibliográfico de Irene Machado (2002), as mídias e seus precursores no confronto com suas múltiplas escrituras. Logo, produzir filmes de animação é saber lidar com as mediações presentes neste novo formato que é apresentado na contemporaneidade. Pois o animador, ao transformar códigos, estabelece novas formas de diálogo com o mundo e com isto amplia o conhecimento do telespectador e é esta experiência cognitiva de linguagem que poderia ser muito bem trabalhada no contexto escolar elevando a qualidade do ensino aprendizado no país.
Henri Bergson: o amor e o respeito pela humanidade uma “Onto-dom-logia” bergsoniana?
Authors: Pinto Edenilson Roberto
Published: April 2023

Esse estudo pretende apreender, nos textos de Henri Bergson, particularmente nas obras “Ensaio Sobre os Dados Imediatos da Consciência” e “As Duas Fontes da Moral e da Religião”, uma possível “onto-dom-logia” que seria subjacente aos escritos do autor. Trata-se de vislumbrar uma filosofia do ser cujos alicerces remetam ao Amor e ao Respeito pela humanidade. Amor e respeito, no caso, serão concebidos como valores em profunda conexão com os conceitos bergsonianos de emoção, criação, intuição, consciência, duração e vida interior. Nesse sentido, procuraremos averiguar, com nossa incursão pelos textos mais relevantes de Bergson, se o amor e o respeito pela humanidade, tal como problematizados conceitualmente no último momento da obra “As Duas Fontes da Moral e da Religião”, expressam uma consistente e interpeladora “onto-dom-logia” das relações humanas.

Authors: Mulugeta Debele  , Bobe Bedadi  , Sheleme Beyene  , Muktar Mohammed
Published: April 2023

Soil fertility is the ability of a soil to nourish essential nutrients to the plant. In order to implement appropriate soil fertility management in the area where spatial variability of soil prevails, soil fertility status assessment is vital. Hence, this study was conducted in Muger sub-watershed in Ethiopia’s Northern Oromia to assess and map the spatial variability of soil fertility status. A total of 25 composite soil samples were collected from cultivated, grazing and forestland of upper, middle and lower slope positions at a depth of 0-20cm for determination of selected soil physical and chemical properties, and their spatial variability was mapped using ordinary kriging techniques of GIS 10 software. The study indicated that there was significant (p<0.05) differences in the values of sand, silt, soil organic carbon (OC),total nitrogen (TN), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn) and available sulfur (Av.S) among the different land uses of the area. The study also revealed that soils of the area are predominantly sandy clay loam in texture with moderately acidic (5.565.93) in reaction. Soil organic carbon (OC) was significantly (p<0.05) different across different land uses. The recorded mean values of OC and total nitrogen (TN) were low on cultivated lands but high on grazing and forest lands. Zinc (Zn) content was low on cultivated and grazing lands but high on forest land, indicating that Zn, TN and OC could be the limiting factors for crop growth in the study area. On the contrary, cation exchange capacity (CEC), exchangeable calcium (Ca), Exchangeable potassium (K), and extractable iron (Fe) were high in all land uses. However, copper (Cu), percent base saturation (PBS), extractable manganese (Mn), available phosphorous (Av.P) and available sulfur (Av.S) contents were at medium rate for all land uses. The occurrence of exchangeable bases followed Ca>Mg>K>Na trend in their order of dominance. Soil micronutrients ranged from 57.94-78.42, 6.97-12.37, 2.56-4.45and 0.22-1.31mg kg-1 for Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu, respectively. From the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the soils of the cultivated lands were generally low in OC, TN and Zn and medium in Mn and Av. S. Therefore, there is a need for management of soil organic matter and regular application of nitrogen, zinc, phosphorus and sulfur containing mineral fertilizers to the soil in order to replenish the nutrients.

Authors: Algaga Balense  , Sisay Debebe
Published: April 2023

Apart from farming, engaging on non-farm and/or off-farm income activities and diversifying income earning means lie at the heart of livelihood strategies to improve the level of food security and poverty status of pastoralist and agro-pastoral households in southern Ethiopia. This study analyses the determinants of the level of income diversification and livelihood strategies of pastoral and agro-pastoral households in Malle District of South Omo zone, southern Ethiopia. A multi-stage sampling technique involving stratification and random sampling techniques were used to select 196 representative household heads. Descriptive statistics, Simpson Index of diversity, Multivariate Probit and Two-limit Tobit models were employed. The results of the study show that farmers participated in farming, non-farm income, petty trade and off-farm income livelihood strategies. The factors influencing livelihood strategies are age, sex, family size, educational level, farm size, main market distance, size of livestock holding, cooperative membership, use of credit, and transport access. Moreover, the factors influencing the level of income diversification are sex, family size, educational level, livestock holding size, crop failure, distance of nearest main market, income from farm, and share of non & off farm income. Based on the finding, the government should emphasize on strengthening agricultural production system with due attention parallelly given to strengthening all non-farm and off-farm income earning activities by expanding the provision of rural finance, gender mainstreaming program, formal education, farmer cooperative formation, livestock production system, and rural road construction among pastoralists and agro-pastoralists of the study area.

Keywords: Livelihood Strategies, Income Diversification, Multivariate Probit and Twolimit Tobit models and Southern Ethiopia.
THE IMPACT OF PRODUCTIVE SAFETY NET PROGRAM (PSNP) ON HOUSE-HOLD POVERTY REDUCTION : THE CASE OF KUYU WOREDA, NORTH SHEWA ZONE OF OROMIA REGIONAL STATE, ETHIOPIA
Authors: Biratu Getu  , Getamesay Bekele
Published: April 2023

This study evaluated the impact of Productive safety net Program on household poverty reduction in Kuyu Woreda North Shewa zone of Oromia regional state in Ethiopia using cross-sectional survey data collected from 260 households selected through a multi stage sampling procedure. The survey respondents were drawn from both program and non-program areas of Kuyu District. The major research question of the study is ‘what would have been the annual income of household per AE had the program not been implemented?’ Applying a propensity score matching technique, the study found that the program has increased participating households’ annual income per AE by 1,164 birr compared to that of nonparticipating households. The result from the multiple regression analysis revealed that education status, family size, dependency ratio, land size, and distance from development agency had significant effect on the household annual income per AE. The study concluded that controlling for all other factors, the productive safety net tends to result in reduced income benefit for the households that have more number of family size, high depedency ratio, and high distance from development agent office while it results in increased income for households that have more land size and educational status. Most of the program participants were maleheaded households. Hence, the program should include more female-headed households or at least in the same proportion as that of the male-headed households. Keywords: Impact, Safety Net Program, Poverty Reduction, Propensity Score Matching, And Ethiopia

Authors: Kumari Prity
Published: April 2023

The parties going for arbitration must confine their mind to the assorted aspects of the Mediation process while choosing a seat under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The selection of seats or venues in conflict during arbitration will be seen through the instance of various countries including India. The paper explores the selection of seats and venues in domestic arbitration. It mainly widens the view of whether the change of venue of arbitration needs a mutual agreement or not. It focuses on the issues that arose before the Supreme Court while resolving the dispute of selecting seats during adjudication. The broader aspect on which this paper relies is the conundrum of the seat and venue of adjudication. Further, it’ll examine the curious case of seat/venue/place in arbitration and therefore the need for legal practitioners to use clear phraseology. It’ll explore the numerous features of selecting a seat for arbitration as an analysis. In addition, the paper is going to cope up with the deepening crisis within the seat venue debate in ‘Indian Arbitration’. Further, the impact of seats in arbitration, then Indian parties choosing the foreign seat of arbitration, and seat v. venue in contemporary arbitral jurisprudence are some important facts that we’d like to grasp. It highlights the recent position of law decided by the Apex Court with relation to the determination of seat of arbitration and at last provides the distinction between seat and venue of Arbitration. Before summarising the entire paper we are going to have a glance at a number of remarkable controversies associated with the seat of adjudication. Lastly, some suggestions are going to be given and through these suggestions, we’ve tried to resolve the dispute that arises during the selection of seat or venue.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF RECLUSIVE CUSTODY
Authors: Kumari Akanksha
Published: April 2023

Crime has always been a puzzling problem, knocking the human community from immemorial time. Thereby it becomes a myth of forming crimeless society. There are various punishments in crime like compensation, life imprisonment, death sentence, reclusive custody and many more. Punishment depends on the gravity of offence. Reclusive custody is detention in which a prisoner is detached from all human contact and isolated in a single cell. This punishment requires high gravity of offence. Confinement can`t be implemented mannerly without prisons as it were established with the motive, to restrain criminal activities of an evil doer. In modern time, prisoner`s rights concept has been changed by the criminal justice system by utterly shifting from retaliatory to corrective approach. The long list of prisoner`s right has also owned by the judiciary, are bound on all authorities to follow. Still today, Indian jails are overcrowded. The NCRB record says that the occupancy ratio is 14% more than the actual capacity of jails. By this paper, the author attempted to investigate and acknowledge the wider concept of reclusive custody by knowing its origin, background, development and limitations. Paper traces, how this confinement has an impact on the mental and physical health of prisoner and also aimed to talk about prisoners right and contrasting effect of isolative restrain. There is a discussion on the destruction of reclusive custody as punishment. The author concludes the paper, considering all key words of the research.
MOB LYNCHING DUE TO MISTAKEN IDENTITIES
Authors: Handique Juhi
Published: April 2023

Mob lynching has been prevalent in recent years in many parts of states throughout India where false rumors are spread using social media instigating a mob into killing or severely injuring an individual. They believe that the victim has done something wrong and anger drives them blind to think irrationally and therefore they take upon their own hands to bring justice. It is the act of targeted violence by a mob acting as vigilantes to punish an alleged accused by beating the individual fiercely to the extent of killing or inflicting serious bodily injuries. Often these attacks are against innocent people as the source is mostly based on assumptions of some rumor, misinformation, or suspicion. It is essential to bring this to the utmost attention as a guiltless person doesn’t deserve to be beaten so violently for a crime the person didn’t commit. It is indignified and injustice towards the victim. Even the presence of police cannot do anything in these types of situations against a horde of people. The paper will solely focus on mob lynchings due to mistaken identities of claiming them as child abductors, thieves, etc taking current cases committed in India and also in the USA against black people, and a critical analysis of the provisions to hold these people responsible for committing such vigilant acts. A mob of people excites individuals and thus they go along with the crowd into thinking that whatever they are doing is just and fair. This makes them fearless of not being caught as they believe in escaping with the help of the group because during the commission of crime it becomes difficult to catch hold of every offender by the police. The current laws lack in holding these criminals liable so amendment of present laws or new laws is required for acting as a deterrent effect.

This study aims to determine the effect of giving candlenut shell activated charcoal using the parameters BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand), TSS (Total Suspended Solid), and pH (power of hydrogen) in tempe waste. The research uses quantitative methods, the type of research is experimental and laboratory observation. The research sample consisted of tempe waste and candlenut shell activatedcharcoal. The data analysis technique consisted of calculating the effectiveness and efficiency of removal, as well as the Kruskal-Wallis statistical test. The results showed that activated charcoal of candlenut shells could reduce BOD and TSS levels in tempe waste. In addition, it can increase the pH of tempe wastewater to normal (pH = 7). Overall, the BOD parameters are still in normal conditionsand have not passed the predetermined threshold. The removal efficiency of activated charcoal from candlenut shells on BOD, TSS, and pH levels in tempe waste as a whole increased. The results of the Kruskal-Wallis H test for the BOD parameter obtained a significant value (Asymp. Sig.) of 0.083 > 0.05. TSS obtained a significant value (Asymp. Sig.) of 0.881 > 0.05. pH obtained a significant value (Asymp. Sig.) of 0.351 > 0.05. Thus, H0 is accepted or there is no significant (significant) difference in the ability of candlenut shell activated charcoal to BOD, TSS, and pH levels in tempe waste. This is because the samples used in laboratory tests on tempeh waste are still small, only repeated twice, the weight of the candlenut shell activated charcoal is only 5 grams and 10 grams, respectively.The conclusion shows that there is a decrease caused by giving candlenut shell activated charcoal using BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and TSS (Total Suspended Solid) parameters, as well as making the pH (power of hydrogen) neutral (pH 7) in tempe waste.

Student engagement is the amount of attention, interest, curiosity, and positive emotional connections that students have when they are learning whether in the classroom or on their own (Sousa, 2016). This study aimed to determine the students’ level of engagement in learning Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE). A survey was conducted among the randomly selected Junior High School Students of St. Paul University Surigao. Based on the findings, the researcher concluded that the students were highly engaged in learning TLE in a blended learning environment, specifically in the behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement. It was also concluded that the respondents’ age, sex, and grades are not significantly correlated to their level of engagement. Therefore, it is hereby recommended that teachers may continue to prepare tasks and activities that would engage the students in learning TLE, focusing more on their cognitive engagement. Similar studies may be conducted where additional variables will be included, and teachers may be taken as respondents for cross validation.

Background. The management of clinical emergencies is an essential skill for medical practitioners; therefore, proper training in these skills is crucial. This is a review of emergency care training by recent graduates of a medical programme to provide feedback on the usefulness of their training experience for entry into clinical practice. Academic clinicians working in the clinical environment, who provide the training, and academic managers who manage the training programme, could provide valuable inputs into reviewing the emergency care training programme contextualised for the uniquely South African challenges.Objectives. To obtain and prioritise experience-based and relevant suggestions for improving the current teaching and to invite comment on the suggestions from the relevant managers.Methods. Research was conducted in three phases using a nominal group technique to review an undergraduate medical programme. In the first phase, recent graduates from the existing programme identified its strengths and weaknesses. In the second phase, academic clinicians and technical experts provided suggestions for addressing these challenges. In the third phase, data obtained were discussed with academic managers responsible for the undergraduate medical programme.Results. Findings were grouped into thematic categories: skills and short courses, module structure and content, experiential learning opportunities, health professions educational practice and interprofessional education. Opportunities to gain experience in emergencies in different clinical fields and as a multi-professional team, both in simulation and real-life practice, were among the highlights of the findings.Conclusion. Many of the suggested improvements, such as a dedicated emergency care module, and more simulated and small-group case-based teaching, are achievable with the given resources. Additionally, with recent changes due to the COVID‑19 pandemic and lockdown, an environment for change that benefits online content delivery was created. The creation of longitudinal themes will be an enhancement of the current programme.
Balancing responsibility-sharing in the simulated clinical skills setting: A strategy to remove barriers to feedback engagement as a new concept to promote a growth-enhancing process
Authors: Abraham RM
Published: April 2023

Background. When feedback is provided in a formative context, it must be used effectively by learners. Many barriers prevent medical students from meaningfully engaging with feedback in the clinical learning environment.Objective. To explore how medical students engage with feedback in preclinical skills training.Methods. Using an exploratory qualitative methodology, data from five focus groups, including 25 purposively selected third-year medical students, were iteratively analysed and identified and key themes were clarified.Results. The data revealed barriers that inhibit the use of feedback, ranging from students’ difficulties with decoding feedback, to their unwillingness to expend effort. Thematic analysis revealed four major themes related to the barriers to feedback receptivity and utilisation.Conclusion. Without collaboration, neither clinical educators nor students are empowered to fully remove the abovementioned barriers. Promoting a student’s learning is often framed as predominantly the task of their clinical educators. With a move towards constructivism, competency-based medical education claims that effective learning requires students to complement and significantly share in their educator’s responsibilities for their academic growth. Developing a responsibility-sharing culture in the giving and receiving of feedback ensures that students benefit fully from the feedback received through proactive engagement, leading to effective and sustainable clinical educator’s feedback practices. With minimal discussion on the concept ofresponsibility-sharing in the context of assessment feedback in medical education, it is necessary to further analyse and discuss this critical issue by considering certain expectations that should reinforce such a culture, along with the practicalities of creating this cultural shift within the preclinical skills setting.

Background. South Africa (SA) is one of the most financially unequal countries in the world. This situation is highlighted by disparateaccess to healthcare, particularly provision of kidney replacement therapy (KRT). Unlike the private sector, public sector access to KRT is highly rationed, and patient selection is based on suitability for transplantation and capacity.Objectives. To investigate the state of the KRT service in Eastern Cape Province, SA, by analysing access to and provision of KRT in theprovince for individuals with end-stage kidney disease, as well as disparities between the private and public healthcare systems.Methods. This was a retrospective descriptive study to examine KRT provision and temporal trends in the Eastern Cape. Data were obtained from the South African Renal Registry and the National Transplant Waiting List. KRT provision was compared between the three main referral centres, in Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth), East London and Mthatha, and between the private and public healthcare systems.Results. There were 978 patients receiving KRT in the Eastern Cape, with an overall treatment rate of 146 per million population (pmp).The treatment rate for the private sector was 1 435 pmp, compared with 49 pmp in the public sector. Patients treated in the private sector were older at initiation of KRT (52 v. 34 years), and more likely to be male, to be HIV positive, and to receive haemodialysis as their KRT modality. Peritoneal dialysis was more commonly used in Gqeberha and East London as the first and subsequent KRT modality, compared with Mthatha. There were no patients from Mthatha on the transplant waiting list. There were no waitlisted HIV-positive patients in the public sector in East London, compared with 16% of the public sector patients in Gqeberha. The kidney transplant prevalence rate was 58 pmp in the private sector and 19 pmp in the public sector, with a combined prevalence of 22 pmp, constituting 14.9% of all patients on KRT. We estimated the shortfall of KRT provision in the public sector to be ~8 606 patients.Conclusion. Patients in the private sector were 29 times more likely to access KRT than their public sector counterparts, who were onaverage 18 years younger at initiation of KRT, probably reflecting selection bias in an overburdened public health system. Transplantation rates were low in both sectors, and lowest in Mthatha. A large public sector KRT provision gap exists in the Eastern Cape and needs to be addressed urgently.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a generalist virus, infecting and evolving in numerous mammals, including captive and companion animals, free-ranging wildlife, and humans. Transmission among non-human species poses a risk for the establishment of SARS-CoV-2 reservoirs, makes eradication difficult, and provides the virus with opportunities for new evolutionary trajectories, including the selection of adaptive mutations and the emergence of new variant lineages. Here, we use publicly available viral genome sequences and phylogenetic analysis to systematically investigate the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 between human and non-human species and to identify mutations associated with each species. We found the highest frequency of animal-to-human transmission from mink, compared with lower transmission from other sampled species (cat, dog, and deer). Although inferred transmission events could be limited by sampling biases, our results provide a useful baseline for further studies. Using genome-wide association studies, no single nucleotide variants (SNVs) were significantly associated with cats and dogs, potentially due to small sample sizes. However, we identified three SNVs statistically associated with mink and 26 with deer. Of these SNVs, ~⅔ were plausibly introduced into these animal species from local human populations, while the remaining ~⅓ were more likely derived in animal populations and are thus top candidates for experimental studies of species-specific adaptation. Together, our results highlight the importance of studying animal-associated SARS-CoV-2 mutations to assess their potential impact on human and animal health.

In biological systems, liquid and solid-like biomolecular condensates may contain the same molecules but their behaviour, including movement, elasticity, and viscosity, is different on account of distinct physicochemical properties. As such, it is known that phase transitions affect the function of biological condensates and that material properties can be tuned by several factors including temperature, concentration, and valency. It is, however, unclear if some factors are more efficient than others at regulating their behaviour. Viral infections are good systems to address this question as they form condensates de novo as part of their replication programmes. Here, we used influenza A virus (IAV) liquid cytosolic condensates, AKA viral inclusions, to provide a proof of concept that liquid condensate hardening via changes in the valency of its components is more efficient than altering their concentration or the temperature of the cell. Liquid IAV inclusions may be hardened by targeting vRNP (viral ribonucleoprotein) interactions via the known NP (nucleoprotein) oligomerising molecule, nucleozin, both in vitro and in vivo without affecting host proteome abundance nor solubility. This study is a starting point for understanding how to pharmacologically modulate the material properties of IAV inclusions and may offer opportunities for alternative antiviral strategies.

Published: April 2023

Food security issues continue to be a challenge in most parts of the globe, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Several research attempts on addressing this issue have mainly been on nutrient replenishment using combined nutrient application of organic amendments and mineral fertilizer inputs. However, there is limited information available on the potential mechanisms underlying nutrient interactions associated with co-application of organic amendments and mineral fertilizers. Therefore, this review focuses on the mechanisms underlying crop nutrient interactions, with particular emphasis on improved nutrient synchrony, priming effect, general soil fertility improvement and balanced proportion of nutrients required by crops. Following a brief overview of the mechanisms, the review describes four common pre-determined nutrient ratios required by plants depending on its life cycle, environment and genotypic characteristics in order to attain the crop’s maximum genetic potential. The review concludes with the need for future research to understudy mechanisms causing nutrient interaction under cropping systems, so as to apply nutrients at the most appropriate time to synchronize nutrient release with crop uptake, with the utmost goal of promoting sustainable crop production and enhancing food security.
