Authors: Feliciano dos Santos Juliana , Alves da Silva Simone , Zanetti de Rossi Gustavo , Palma de Almeida Adriana
Published: September 2021

O desoxinivalenol (DON), principal micotoxina encontrada em trigo e derivados, tem sido associado a surtos de gastroenterite, distúrbios gastrointestinais e diarreia em humanos e animais. Para controle das micotoxinas em alimentos há a necessidade de métodos confiáveis e precisos. Desta forma, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo validar metodologia analítica para análise de DON em amostras de trigo e produtos comercializados na cidade de São Paulo. O método foi validado de acordo com os parâmetros linearidade, recuperação, precisão, limites de detecção (LD) e quantificação (LQ). A extração do DON foi realizada por homogeneização com água deionizada, seguida de centrifugação, filtração e purificação em coluna de imunoafinidade. A separação e quantificação foram conduzidas por cromatografia líquida com detecção por ultravioleta (CLAE-UV). A curva analítica, obtida pelo método dos mínimos quadrados, foi linear com coeficiente de correlação de 0,9995. A recuperação média foi de 102% e o coeficiente de variação de 2,4% para a concentração de 877 µg/kg. Os LD e LQ foram de 60 e 200 µg/kg, respectivamente. Os cromatogramas obtidos não apresentaram interferências na região do tempo de retenção do DON (9,7 min), sendo o método proposto considerado adequado para a quantificação de desoxinivalenol em trigo e produtos a base de trigo.
The adoption of the Chinese calendar and its impact on seasonal poetry in early Japan (c. 700 to 1000)
Authors: Leinss Gerhard
Published: September 2021

We have evidence that since the second half of the seventh century a common calendar has been shared among Japan’s political elite within an evolving state based on Chinese models. This paper discusses the impact its introduction had on the perception of time as revealed by the seasonal poetry of aristocrats who presumably had access to the calendar. Not only numerous poems on seasonal topics but also a substantial number of calendars is extant from that period. We can therefore anticipate what kind of calendars poets possibly had at their hands when pursuing their art. I argue that the impact the introduction of the common calendar had on seasonal poetry has been far greater and more complex than hitherto acknowledged by researchers, and that the underestimation of this impact is largely due to an incomplete understanding of the seasonal concepts of the adopted calendar which I intend to clarify with this paper.

Inspite of its practical functions in general, educational and research process of the ancient culture of these Egyptian and Arab academic institutions require specialized scientific treatment in the coming days, to explore an educational approach to “culture” as a fifth language skill, and thus benefit from Chinese and international efforts in teaching the language and its culture.
نموذج التنمية المستدامة في الصين ومدى استفادة العرب منها / China’s Sustainable Development Model and How Arabs Benefit From it
Authors: Daher Massoud
Published: September 2021

Based on the development of positive relations between China and the Arab countries in the context of a new globalization on the path to a multipolar world, this study addresses the following methodological issues: China’s development achievements in the reform and the opening-up movement, China’s success in the face of the Covid-19 epidemic, and the analysis of the notion of “Sustainable Development” and the Chinese characteristics of the concept of socialism. Accurate scientific conclusions confirmed that sustainable development with Chinese characteristics constitutes a distinct model of rational and balanced development that achieved the well-being of the Chinese population. The Belt and Road Initiative has been widely welcomed in all Arab countries. Arab institutions, both official and private, have begun to study the Chinese development model to build a new style of development based on social stability, economic prosperity and mutual benefit. China is a leading model for promoting the common interest of people. China contributes positively to the well-being of its people and the rest of the world through cooperation. It is moving forward with high-quality development plans that provide new opportunities to revive the global economy, which is suffering from the drawbacks of the Covid-19 pandemic. Having presented China as a leading human model of inclusive development to realize the Chinese Dream, the enlightened Arab elites have shown increasing interest in this high-quality experiment that has succeeded in eradicating poverty, combating Covid-19, helping the recovery of the global economy, and promoting opportunities for advancement, innovation and creativity on a global level. Since China’s development was built on moral and humanitarian rules, it is warmly welcomed in the Arab countries because it affirms that humans are the greatest capital and the goal of sustainable development. It offers rich and useful lessons for everyone around the world.
Modified TDAE petroleum plasticiser
Authors: Ptak Stefan , Krasodomski Wojciech , Jakóbiec Janusz , Antosz Artur
Published: September 2021

Petroleum plasticisers are applied as softening additives in rubber vulcanisation processes and as components of rubber mixtures in the production and vulcanisation process. They contain polycyclic aromatic compounds exhibiting carcinogenic and mutagenic effects. Since 2010, the European Union has banned the use of high-aromatic DAE plasticisers. The petroleum industry and tyre manufacturers are developing new types of petroleum plasticisers. The best alternative to the DAE is the TDAE plasticisers, obtained mainly by selective solvent refining. The solvent dewaxing process of classic TDAE plasticisers was studied in order to improve the chemical composition as well as the rheological and low-temperature properties of deparafinate. This article presents the results of an examination of the TDAE plasticiser samples subjected to solvent dewaxing process on a laboratory scale with three types of solvents, MEK–TOL, MEK–MIBK and MEK–MTBE. It was demonstrated that solvent dewaxing of the TDAE plasticiser with positive pour points maintains good process selectivity and allows for a significant reduction of the plasticiser pour point, thus improving the rheological and low-temperature properties. In all dewaxing attempts, the pour point in the deparaffinate decreased significantly to the range −12 to −22°C, compared to the positive pour points of the raw materials. The application tests for two types of the TDAE plasticisers, used to produce oiled rubber and a standard rubber compound, meet the quality requirements for those products.
Reflections on the ‘Just Price’ in Times of Crisis (with Reference to Coronavirus … but not only)
Authors: Marchisio Emiliano
Published: September 2021

The debate about the ‘just price’ has ancient origin and returns forcefully to the scene when, in the event of crises of various kinds, there is a rapid and significant increase in prices of given goods or services. The main issue is whether price increases of such a nature could, or should, be considered illicit and ground the issue of sanctions against the firms increasing prices, thus focusing on a macro-systemic level of analysis. The central part of the article reviews different theories on what a ‘just price’ should be and focuses on the idea that a price is ‘just’ when it functions as an index of relative scarcity in free markets. It is claimed that such a function deserves protection by Italian and EU law. Therefore price adjustments in response to shocks cannot and should not be considered illegal: it is unacceptable to sanction private firms by attributing them the wrong of not having substituted themselves, at their own expense, for the exercise of a public function (that of making sure that price increases do not put at risk solidarity and other constitutional principles).
「是」字句和「是……的」句的教學語法: 以九套國際學校中文教材為例
Authors: Wing-Yu Tam Hugo
Published: September 2021

Due to the economic growth in East and Southeast Asia, the global interest in teaching and learning Asian languages has been continually increasing in the past two decades. More and more international schools are offering Asian languages as elective second/foreign languages to adolescent learners, such as Arabic, modern Chinese (Cantonese/Mandarin), Japanese, and Malay. Since 2008, the most common grammatical mistake,shi(literallyto be) had been highlighted by the Cambridge Assessment every single year in the IGCSE Mandarin (0547) examiner reports. This paper reviews the literature of the functions and the error patterns of copula verbshiand “shi…de” construction, then investigates how the textbooks describe the grammatical usages and sequence the different functions ofshifor young learners. Based on the qualitative research findings, this study proposes suggestions for improving the description of grammar items in Mandarin textbooks, and illustrates the classroom activities and teaching strategies for parts of speech in the international school context. This research has implications for second language acquisition, pedagogical grammar, and teacher education for IGCSE Mandarin.
Language play in and with Chinese: traditional genres and contemporary developments
Authors: Wei Li , Lee Tong King
Published: September 2021

Language play is playing with the rules of language for fun. This article is one of the first attempts at providing an overview of the traditional genres and current trends of language play in and with Chinese, a topic that has received relatively little attention in English. We explore the specific aspects of the Chinese language that are susceptible to play, and discuss a number of conventional formulas of Chinese language play. We also examine the affordances of new media and what we call translanguaging language play that involves mixing different named languages and scripts as well as mixing linguistic with other semiotic resources. The motivations and effects of language play are discussed, giving particular attention to the socio-political dimensions of language play. Throughout the discussion, we provide historical as well as contemporary examples to illustrate the ways in which Chinese language users play with language for specific purposes.

Published: September 2021

Objectives

There is limited knowledge about students’ experiences with virtual simulation when using a video conferencing system. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore how second-year undergraduate nursing students experienced learning through virtual simulations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

The study had an exploratory design with both quantitative and qualitative approaches. In total, 69 nursing students participated in two sessions of virtual simulation during spring 2020, and 33 students answered online questionnaires at session 1. To further explore students’ experiences, one focus group interview and one individual interview were conducted using a video conferencing system after session 2. In addition, system information on use during both sessions was collected.

Results

Changes in the students’ ratings of their experiences of virtual simulation with the Body Interact™ system were statistically significant. The virtual simulation helped them to bridge gaps in both the teaching and learning processes. Four important aspects of learning were identified: 1) learning by self-training, 2) learning from the software (Body Interact™), 3) learning from peers, and 4) learning from faculty.

Conclusions

We conclude that virtual simulation through a video conferencing system can be useful for student learning and feedback from both peers and faculty is important.
miR-513b-5p inhibits the proliferation and promotes apoptosis of retinoblastoma cells by targeting TRIB1
Authors: Zhang Li-Juan , Wang Fang , Qi Pei-Yan , Zhou Wei-Yan , Wang Bing
Published: September 2021

MicroRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of various human malignant tumors. This study aims to explore the role of miR-513b-5p in the malignant proliferation of retinoblastoma (RB) cells and its potential molecular mechanisms. The function-gain and function-loss experiments were performed in Weri-RB1 cells using miR-513b-5 mimics and inhibitors. miR-513b-5p mimics inhibited the proliferation and clone formation and promoted apoptosis of Weri-RB1 cells. In contrast, the miR-513b-5p inhibitor promoted the proliferation and clone formation of Weri-RB1 cells and inhibited cell apoptosis. miR-513b-5p can directly bind to the 3′UTR region of TRIB1 mRNA, and inhibit its protein expression. Overexpression of TRIB1 promoted the proliferation and cloning of Weri-RB1 cells but inhibited their apoptosis. The knockdown of TRIB1 inhibited the proliferation and clone formation of Weri-RB1 cells and promoted cell apoptosis. In addition, miR-513b-5p mimics neutralized the effects of TRIB1 overexpression on the proliferation and apoptosis of Weri-RB1 cells. Finally, miR-513b-5p can inhibit the phosphorylation level of AKT, mTOR, and p70, while TRIB1 played the opposite role. miR-513b-5p inhibits the malignant proliferation of Weri-RB1 cells by repressing the expression of TRIB1. miR-513b-5p and TRIB1 may be the biomarkers and/or key targets for clinical diagnosis and treatment of RB.
Current uses, emerging applications, and clinical integration of artificial intelligence in neuroradiology

Published: September 2021

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science with a variety of subfields and techniques, exploited to serve as a deductive tool that performs tasks originally requiring human cognition. AI tools and its subdomains are being incorporated into healthcare delivery for the improvement of medical data interpretation encompassing clinical management, diagnostics, and prognostic outcomes. In the field of neuroradiology, AI manifested through deep machine learning and connected neural networks (CNNs) has demonstrated incredible accuracy in identifying pathology and aiding in diagnosis and prognostication in several areas of neurology and neurosurgery. In this literature review, we survey the available clinical data highlighting the utilization of AI in the field of neuroradiology across multiple neurological and neurosurgical subspecialties. In addition, we discuss the emerging role of AI in neuroradiology, its strengths and limitations, as well as future needs in strengthening its role in clinical practice. Our review evaluated data across several subspecialties of neurology and neurosurgery including vascular neurology, spinal pathology, traumatic brain injury (TBI), neuro-oncology, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and epilepsy. AI has established a strong presence within the realm of neuroradiology as a successful and largely supportive technology aiding in the interpretation, diagnosis, and even prognostication of various pathologies. More research is warranted to establish its full scientific validity and determine its maximum potential to aid in optimizing and providing the most accurate imaging interpretation.
Vantourismus – Die neue Freiheit auf vier Rädern eine quantitativ-empirische Analyse von

Van- und Campingtourismus
Authors: Aschauer Wolfgang , Oesterle Carolin
Published: September 2021

Zusätzlich zum Klassiker der alternativen Reiseformen, dem Backpacking, hat sich im Bereich des Individualtourismus im letzten Jahrzehnt ein neuer Reisetrend, der sogenannte Vantourismus entwickelt. Immer mehr Menschen entscheiden sich dazu, im „Zuhause auf vier Rädern“ für begrenzte Zeit zu verreisen und dabei, anders als klassische Campingtouristen, weitgehend auf klassische Campingplätze und vorbestimmte Reiserouten zu verzichten. Aufgrund des Mangels an empirischer Forschung zu diesem Thema untersucht dieser Beitrag in einer Online-Studie, inwieweit sich VantouristInnen von klassischen CampingtouristInnen unterscheiden. Die Analyse zeigt, dass zahlreiche Diskrepanzen in Hinblick auf Reisemerkmale, Reisemotivationen, Urlaubsbedürfnisse und Lebensstilmerkmale einen eigenständigen Typus des Alternativtourismus nahelegen. Außerdem zeigt die empirische Prüfung eines ganzheitlichen Erklärungsansatzes, dass neben dem Alter, dem Familienstand und der Komfortorientierung vor allem Bedürfnisse der Selbstaktualisierung, Authentizität und Naturverbundenheit ausschlaggebend sind, sich für Vantourismus zu entscheiden.

The essay explores the role of gemstone merchants, jewelers and goldsmiths in the expropriation of diamonds, jewellery and precious stones from the Jewish population of Germany as well as German-occupied countries in the Nazi era. Their participation along with the possibility for them to profit from these efforts will be highlighted, and it will be shown in how far there is proof for the involvement of specific persons. Due to their changeable nature, many of the stolen pieces of jewellery are nigh impossible to trace. For this reason, the essay narrows its focus on individual gemstone merchants, jewellers and goldsmiths to gain insight into their involvement in the robbery. Structures and regulations that were exploited to this end can be observed on an administrative level, in responsible administrative bodies and in the administration of occupied territories. In addition, implementation methods can also be reconstructed, i. e. which middlemen the National Socialists made use of within the circle of gemstone merchants, jewellers and goldsmiths. It shows that all three levels – trade, handicrafts, and sales – benefited from the robbery. On the one hand, jewellers and goldsmiths were used as henchmen for the procurement and evaluation of gemstones, on the other hand, some of these goldsmiths took advantage of the sales orders placed by the National Socialists and obtained the necessary gems and precious stones and metals via the established networks. A scheme in which all participants systematically benefited from the robbery of Jewish property can be identified. Within the framework of foreign currency supply, military raw diamond demand and satisfaction of the Nazi art needs, the participation in the robbery seems limited to an elitist group of gemstone merchants, jewellers and goldsmiths, who were also closely linked to the Nazi elite. In how far the remaining, much larger group of jewellers were actively involved in the robbery of Jewish property remains a question to be answered by further research.
Calibrating Thermomechanical Triaxial Cells for Transient Thermal Loads
Authors: Abdelaziz Sherif L. , Morteza Zeinali Seyed
Published: September 2021

This paper presents a method to integrate the thermal calibration of triaxial cells into the testing procedure, facilitating accurate measurements of thermally-induced pore pressures and volumetric strains during transient thermal loads. For this purpose, a modified thermomechanical triaxial cell that can control the specimen temperature at a specified rate is utilized. Unlike other thermomechanical systems, a separate backpressure pump is connected to each drainage line (top and bottom) measuring the thermally-induced volumetric strains of water filling the respective line. These volumetric strains are measured using a solid acrylic dummy sample under different effective stresses and heating rates. These calibrated system strains were independent of the temperature change rate but impacted by effective stress. These system volumetric strains are withdrawn from the system when applying a transient thermal load to an actual soil specimen either at the drained or undrained boundaries. In the end, we demonstrate the capability of the developed system calibration to capture accurate thermally-induced pore pressures and volumetric strains in two clay specimens subjected to transient heating loads at different rates.
The Physical Reasons to Have Underdamped or Oscillating Variable-Head (Slug) Tests: A Review and a Clarification
Authors: Chapuis Robert P.
Published: September 2021

Variable-head permeability tests are performed in monitoring wells (MWs) or open holes between packers to assess the local value of hydraulic conductivity, K, of gravel, sand, and fractured rock. This article examines physical reasons for having an oscillating water level in the riser pipe, called underdamped (UD) response. The UD solutions are incomplete because they solve one half of the problem—for the water in the pipe—and ignore the second half, seepage in the tested material. This article shows that these half-solutions violate mathematical rules for the second half and thus, are incorrect. Four reasons for oscillations are examined: (1) solid matrix elasticity (storativity), (2) trapped gas, (3) sealing defect, and (4) hydraulic fracturing. Reason (1) yields small oscillations but not large oscillations. Reasons (2–4) can yield large oscillations and explain field data for occurrence, frequency, and damping. Thus, a free space along the casing or some trapped gas is needed to observe large oscillations. Hence, a UD slug test response only proves that the MW (or a packer) is poorly installed. This MW yields wrong values for hydraulic head, gradient, and water analyses. The data of oscillating slug tests are shown to depend upon parameters that are not easy to evaluate. This is why the UD slug tests are found to give poor estimates of K. It is recommended to use suitable drilling techniques to avoid overexcavation, to take 2–4 hours to correctly install a MW, to avoid using compressed gas to start a slug test, and to apply head differences that are high enough to have good results but lower than those producing hydraulic separation. For packer tests, it is recommended to monitor the water pressure between the packers, in the hole below the lower packer and above the upper packer, using three pressure sensors.
Mora-timed, stress-timed, and syllable-timed rhythm classes: Clues in English speech production by bilingual speakers
Authors: Liu Sha , Takeda Kaye
Published: September 2021

A growing body of literature suggests that the world's languages can be classified into three rhythm classes: mora-timed languages, stress-timed languages, and syllable-timed languages. However, scholars cannot agree on which rhythmic measures discriminate rhythm classes most satisfactorily and whether the speech rate factor should be considered. In this study, we analyze speech production by bilingual speakers, and compare their production with that of monolingual speakers and ESL speakers. Our rhythmic metric measure results show that when speech rate is taken into consideration, a combination of the two metric measures for vowels,Varco∆Vandvocalic nPVI, is most reliable in discriminating different rhythm classes, while consonants do not seem effective, whether the speech rate factor is included or not.
COORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY DALAM SUDUT PANDANG FIQIH HARTA DAN AKUNTANSI
Authors: Suharti Sri , Setiawan Iwan
Published: September 2021

Corporate social responsibility in the company law is a company obligation, which aims to increase the role of the private sector in economic development and equitable social welfare. However, until now, this goal has not been achieved, due to the company's reluctance to do so. This is reinforced from the results of previous research, that CSR is not correlated with an increase in company profits, even if donation activities are not related to company operations and profits, then these expenses cannot be recorded as an expense that reduces corporate taxes. This is different from the concept of CSR in the view of wealth fiqh, which places property as the property of Allah and must be used as much as possible for the benefit of all humans. This study aims to compare CSR in the view of wealth and accounting fiqh. This research uses literature review method using data sourced from books, journals / articles, reports and websites. The results of this study found that CSR in the view of wealth fiqh is permissible because there is no fatwa prohibiting it as long as the assets used do not come from business activities that are prohibited in Islam. There is a difference in the concept of assets according to fiqh, namely that assets cannot be stacked for personal gain and must be distributed to others, whereas according to the accounting concept, assets are accumulated and distributed to owners of capital.Key words: capital,  cooperate social responsibility, and fiqh of assets.

The concept of Strategic Human Resource Management has been a very important topic since the late 1980s. A company, if it wants to succeed in the competition in this global era, must be able to make human resource management plans that are capable and responsive to changes in world business in the future (strategic). This research aims to explain the concept of strategic human resource management (MSDMS) in an effort to contribute to company performance. MSDS research using a qualitative approach by using a literature review in presenting theories about research problems that are currently being carried out. There are two things that are analyzed in the concept of strategic human resource management (MSDMS). First, the relationship between HR strategy, HR practice and organizational performance is reviewed. As a result, the best practice approach has been used and yields useful results comparatively to the contingency approach and the configurational approach. Second, intervening factors and the causal relationship between HRM practice and organizational performance are analyzed. Retention results and multiple factors are found and placing too much control on causal relationships is unrealistic in empirical studies.

Macrofungal communities of four altitudinal zones of the Northern Rocky Mountain region are described and compared with respect to species richness, production (g/100m2/yr), functional structure (mycorrhizal vs. decomposer), seasonality of activity and relationship to temperature and rainfall. Two study sites of 100m2 were established in grasslands, Douglas-fir forest, subalpine fir (spruce-fir) forest and in the alpine. Each study site was visited fortnightly during the collecting season (May-September) in 1997 and 1998, monthly in 1999, with a limited number of trips to the alpine. All fungal sporocarps were collected, dried, weighed, and identified to species when possible. Soil moisture and soil temperature readings were taken at each visit during 1997 and 1998. Species richness varied with the elevational gradient from three species collected in grasslands, 60 species collected in Douglas-fir forests, 61 species collected in subalpine fir forests, and zero species collected in the alpine. Sixty-five species (out of 100 total species) fruited only during the wettest year of the study, 1997. Standing crop estimates ranged from 0.0002 to 0.005 g/100m2 in grassland, 0.01 to 2.16 g/100m2 in Douglas-fir forests, 0.04 to 1.63 g/100m2 in subalpine fir (spruce-fir forests) and no sporocarps were collected in the alpine. Standing crop was greatest in the grassland and forest sites in the wettest year, 1997. Species richness and production peaked earlier in the Douglas-fir forests (June), than in subalpine fir forests (August and September). With the majority of fungal species in the study fruiting only in the wettest year (1997), one might conclude that collecting sporocarps in a wet year provides a better indication of species richness than collecting in several typical (dry) years. The 100m2 plot size used in this study may bias for the sampling of saprophytic species, and may under-sample the more patchily distributed mycorrhizal species.
An Unknown Page from the Life of Jan Bobrzyński
Authors: Paczos Sebastian
Published: September 2021

The article is an attempt to analyze two works by Jan Bobrzyński written at the end of World War Two and in the early period of Polish People’s Republic: Współczesne zadania socjalizmu (The Modern Tasks of Socialism) and Die grosse deutsche Lüge (The Great German Lie). The author compares the contents of the two writings with Bobrzyński’s views from before WWII. The question is pondered whether Jan Borzyński’s post-war choices, such as joining the Polish Socialist Party or fierce anti- Germanism, were the result of the evolution of his views, ideological disorientation, or simply opportunism manifested in adjusting his own beliefs to the needs of the moment?

Abstract The β-lactam/lactamase inhibitors (BLBLIs) combination drugs are considered an effective alternative to carbapenems. However, there is a growing concern that the increased use of BLBLIs may lead to increased resistance. This study determined the temporal association between the consumption of BLBLI and the antimicrobial resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. In this retrospective study, electronic data on the Gram-negative bacterial isolates, including A. baumannii, P. aeruginosa, E. coli, and K. pneumoniae from in-patients and susceptibility testing results were retrieved from the medical records of the clinical laboratory. A linear regression and cross-correlation analysis were performed on the acquired data. Increasing trends (p<0.05) in the consumption of BIBLI and carbapenem with a median use of 27.68 and 34.46 DDD/1000 PD per quarter were observed, respectively. A decreased trend (p=0.023) in the consumption of fluoroquinolones with a median use of 29.13 DDD/1000 PD per quarter was observed. The resistance rate of K. pneumoniae was synchronized with the BIBLI and carbapenem consumptions with a correlation coefficient of 0.893 (p=0.012) and 0.951 (p=0.016), respectively. The cross-correlation analysis against the consumption of BIBLI and meropenem resistant K. pneumoniae was peaked at 0-quarter lag (r=951, p=0.016). There was an increasing trend in the consumption of BLBLI and carbapenems. The increasing trend in the rates of resistance to piperacillin/tazobactam, in line with the increasing consumption of BLBLI, suggests that BLBLI has to be used with caution and cannot be directly considered as a long-term alternative to carbapenems.

Abstract The Indian crested porcupine (Hystrix indica) is a vertebrate pest of agricultural lands and forest. The study was aimed to report the damage to local crops by the Indian crested porcupine (Hystrix indica) in the Muzaffarabad District. A survey was conducted to identify the porcupine-affected areas and assess the crop damage to the local farmers in district Muzaffarabad Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) from May 2017 to October 2017. Around 19 villages were surveyed, and a sum of 191 semi-structured questionnaires was distributed among farmers. Crop damage was found highest in village Dhanni where a porcupine destroyed 175 Kg/Kanal of the crops. Regarding the total magnitude of crop loss, village Danna and Koomi kot were the most affected areas. More than half (51.8%) of the respondents in the study area suffered the economic loss within the range of 101-200$, and (29.8%) of the people suffered losses in the range of 201-300$ annually. Among all crops, maize (Zea mays) was found to be the most damaged crop ranging between 1-300 Kg annually. In the study area, porcupine also inflicted a lot of damages to some important vegetables, including spinach (Spinacia oleracea), potato (Solanum tuberosum) and onion (Allium cepa). It was estimated that, on average, 511Kg of vegetables are destroyed by porcupine every year in the agricultural land of Muzaffarabad. It was concluded that the Indian crested porcupine has a devastating effect on agriculture which is an important source of income and food for the local community. Developing an effective pest control strategy with the help of the local government and the Wildlife department could help the farmers to overcome this problem.
