The System Dynamic of Mangrove Ecotourism of “Kampung Blekok” Situbondo East Java Indonesia: Economic and Ecological Dimension
Authors: Nurjannati Utami Tiwi , Fattah Mochammad , Iintyas Candra Adi
Published: July 2022

Mangroves that grow in coastal areas have ecological and economic values. Research on the behavior of a mangrove ecotourism system is needed as a basis for management to provide sustainable benefits. This study aimed to describe the conceptualization of a mangrove ecotourism system, formulate a mangrove ecotourism model and formulate a scenario for Kampung Blekok mangrove ecotourism in Situbondo Regency. This study used a quantitative analysis with a dynamic system approach to see the behavior of the ecotourism system on the economic and ecological dimensions. The research results on the conceptualization of the ecotourism system with causal loop diagrams showed that the economic subsystem was composed of response variables in the form of ecotourism management income and community business income in ecotourism areas and gross regional domestic product. Meanwhile, the ecological subsystem consisted of response variables in mangroves’ death, planting, and rehabilitation. Model formulation with stock-flow diagrams demonstrated the relationship between response variables to explain the system. In the economic subsystem, the variable of community business acceptance had the highest sensitivity that could affect ecotourism income. While in the ecological subsystem, the highest sensitivity was on the variable of mangrove planting, which could affect the density of mangroves. The combination of economic subsystem scenarios optimized tourist visits and streamlined spending. The combination of ecological subsystem scenarios that became the priority was the addition of mangrove seedlings and controlling pests that caused the death of mangrove seedlings. Stakeholders are expected to synergize with each other in managing activities in ecotourism. Apart from exploiting their economic potential, the community and the private sector are also expected to participate in maintaining compliance with regulations to preserve mangroves. The government should monitor and enforce regulations related to ecotourism and support the development of mangrove ecotourism so that its benefits are sustainable.

Published: July 2022

The study aims at describing COVID-19 metaphorical representations in media discourse. The analysis of conceptual metaphors in political and medical discourse enables a reconstruction of metaphorically based knowledge of coronavirus in English speech communities. Being produced by world political leaders and media presenters these conceptual metaphors influence the socialunderstanding of the novel disease both directly and indirectly. The study is based on the Conceptual Metaphor theory, Conceptual Integration theory and Discourse analysis. The range of the target domain COVID-19 includes the following source domains: WAR and PERSON. The latter is further elaborated as GUEST, INTRUDER, ENEMY, CRIMINAL, SPY, TEACHER. The focus is on the cross-space mappings which present the sets of systematic correspondences between the target and source domains. The novel conceptualisations based on the conventional use of metaphoric patterns are analysed within the framework of the following cognitive devices: extending, elaboration, questioning, and combining. The conceptual blends and emergent structures that provide additional layers of COVID-19 interpretation are represented by means of Conceptual Integration Networks, namely, double- and multiple-scope models. The analysis reveals that the conceptual metaphor COVID-19 PANDEMIC IS WAR is mostlyrepresented in political discourse that refers to the disease as a general threat to the world. In medical discourse the metaphor COVID-19 IS PERSON is objectified, with further elaboration of the source domain. The correlation COVID-19 IS TEACHER reveals positive connotations of the phenomenon.
Lithuanisation of Software Metaphors
Authors: Maumevičienė Dainora
Published: July 2022

The majority of software that is localised, i.e., adapted or Lithuanised as a product to the Lithuanian market, language, culture, social norms and values, is originally engineered and designed in the United States of America. Despite the fact that internationalisation has to be carried out as a process of neutralising and standardising the software for further localisation of the product, it is usually carried out incompletely or in some cases might be unperformed at all, if companies have not considered the product to be sold globally. Thus, the software contains attributes, for example, writing conventions, legal norms and rules, culture-specific items, metaphors and other that reflect the source culture and language of the software. Software related texts, online help documents, resource files, messages and other contain various metaphors that are related to applications, malfunctioning, software components and menu items and hardware. At the same time, conceptual metaphors represent the worldview, and its perception is pertinent only to some specific language users. The idea of localisation is both to adapt products to target users in terms of their culture and language and make them feel that the product was designed and created for them. Thus, taking in mind that conceptual metaphors represent the perception of the worldview, the crucial question arises, if it is possible to adapt, i.e., Lithuanise, conceptual metaphors to such an extent that they would reflect the worldview and perception of the target language and culture the tropes are used to represent, categorise and depict. At the same time, it becomes interesting to examine how the trope is being changed in the target language as well as analyse the capacities of the language to change, adapt to and embrace new things it has to name.
Pensionskassen
Authors: Biagi Enzo
Published: July 2022

The investment of German Pension Funds (Pensionskassen) in AIF is difficult by the fact, that the supervisory and tax legislation concerning them contradict each other. Their permissible investments under the supervisory law are restricted by the current reading of their tax exemption. The Pension Fund loses its tax exemption if the investments of the Pension Fund are generating commercial income for German tax purposes. This puts Pension Funds at a disadvantage when it comes to investments. At the same time, this reading does not find support in the interpretation of the corresponding tax legislation.
Cheilosia (Diptera, Syrphidae: Rhingiini) of Nepal with descriptions of 29 new species
Authors: Barkalov Anatolij V. , Ståhls Gunilla
Published: July 2022

The genus Cheilosia (Diptera: Syrphidae: Rhingiini) of Nepal is reviewed. We recorded 37 species of Cheilosia, of which 29 species are described here. Twenty-six of the new species are classified to a subgenus: Cheilosia (Cheilosia) angusta sp. nov., C. (C.) falcata sp. nov., C. (C.) hauseri sp. nov., C. (C.) maculata sp. nov., C. (C.) pica sp. nov., C. (C.) pilivena sp. nov., C. (C.) spinosa sp. nov., C. (C.) spuria sp. nov., C. (C.) weiperti sp. nov., C. (Montanocheila) albipicta sp. nov., C. (M.) alpha sp. nov., C. (M.) brevimontana sp. nov., C. (M.) gilva sp. nov., C. (M.) minuscula sp. nov., C. (M.) nigella sp. nov., C. (M.) pernigra sp. nov., C. (M.) picta sp. nov., C. (Floccocheila) collis sp. nov., C. (F.) crassata sp. nov., C. (F.) illustratoides sp. nov., C. (F.) indistincta sp. nov., C. (F.) leucozonoides sp. nov., C. (F.) vellea sp. nov., C. (Eucartosyrphus) procera sp. nov., C. (Pollinocheila) rava sp. nov., and C. (Taeniochilosia) nepalensis sp. nov. The remaining three new species, C. flavigena sp. nov., C. insolita sp. nov., and C. versa sp. nov., are described based on a female only, and are thus not classified to a subgenus. The subgenus Taeniochilosia Oldenberg, 1916 is here re-defined to also include species with a pilose eye in combination with the previously defined characters. Cheilosia nigriventris Barkalov & Cheng, 2004 is herewith placed as junior synonym of Cheilosia erratica Barkalov & Peck, 1997, and the description of the female sex is provided. We provide digital photographs and line drawings to illustrate morphological details of all species, and an identification key to the subgenera and to the species recorded for Nepal. We explored the infrageneric classification of some Nepalese species new to science for which molecular work was possible using mtDNA COI barcode sequences. A maximum likelihood analysis of the assembled COI barcode dataset with multiple representatives of the most speciose Palearctic subgenera of Cheilosia resolved the included seven taxa from Nepal within subgenera Cheilosia s. str. and Montanocheila Barkalov, 2002. The large number of new species of this study highlights the still prevailing incomplete knowledge of this speciose genus in the montane regions of the Palearctic and Oriental realms.

Differences in motor abilities in preschool boys
Authors: Đorđević Marija , Dašić Stefan
Published: July 2022

The aim of this study was to determine the differences in motor abilities in preschool boys, depending on the level of their physical activity. The total sample consisted of 30 boys aged between 6 and 7, who attended kindergartens "Plavi zec" and "Kolibri" in the city of Paracin. The sample was divided into two subsamples. The first subsample consisted of 15 boys who, in addition to physical activity in the kindergarten (according to the plan and program implemented by the preschool institution), were, in the previous six months, members of the soccer club "Vuk" from Paracin. The frequency of children's exercises in the football club was three times a week for 60 minutes. The second subsample consisted of 15 boys who did not have additional (organized) physical activity outside the plan and program implemented in the preschool institution. Motor abilities were determined by using a standardized battery of motor tests, taken from the research of Bale and Popovic (2007). Running speed (20 meter run from a standing start), frequent arm movement (arm taping), explosive leg strength (standing depth jump), explosive arm strength (throwing a 1kg medicine ball) and body coordination (polygon backwards) were tested. Differences in motor abilities were calculated by T-test and by using a small and independent sample size. The results of this study indicate that boys who were involved in additional physical activities (r < .05).

Authors: Alemanni Luigina Vanessa , Fabbri Stefano , Rondonotti Emanuele , Mussetto Alessandro
Published: July 2022

Over the last few years, capsule endoscopy has been established as a fundamental device in the practicing gastroenterologist’s toolbox. Its utilization in diagnostic algorithms for suspected small bowel bleeding, Crohn’s disease, and small bowel tumors has been approved by several guidelines. The advent of double-balloon enteroscopy has significantly increased the therapeutic possibilities and release of multiple devices (single-balloon enteroscopy and spiral enteroscopy) aimed at improving the performance of small bowel enteroscopy. Recently, some important innovations have appeared in the small bowel endoscopy scene, providing further improvement to its evolution. Artificial intelligence in capsule endoscopy should increase diagnostic accuracy and reading efficiency, and the introduction of motorized spiral enteroscopy into clinical practice could also improve the therapeutic yield. This review focuses on the most recent studies on artificial-intelligence-assisted capsule endoscopy and motorized spiral enteroscopy.

Published: July 2022

A university’s ability to remain competitive in a knowledge-driven world depends on the development of its teaching staff. The government and the private sector have invested in staff development in Nigerian and Pakistani universities. This article compares their staff development policies and practices as well as teachers’ job performance. An expo-facto comparative research design was adopted. We found significant differences between universities’ staff development policies and practices as well as lecturers’ job performance in the two countries (F (3, 657) = 41.879, ρ =.000). The article recommends effective implementation of staff development policies (funding, selection, performance appraisal, and promotion) to enhance staff’s skills and competencies and improve Nigerian universities’ position in global rankings.

Gender-Related Factors Influencing Female Students’ Participation in Higher Education in Rwanda
Authors: Rubagiza Jolly , Umutoni Jane , Iyakaremye Innocent
Published: July 2022

Rwanda is widely seen as one of the most progressive countries in the world with regard to promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment. In education, for example, girls’ access to primary and secondary education is among the highest in Africa. However, female students’ participation remains limited in public universities and they constitute only around a third of the student population at the University of Rwanda. This article explores the factors that influence female students’ participation in public higher education in the country. It draws from a study commissioned by the University of Rwanda on the causes of low female enrolment at the institution that was conducted between 2016 and 2017. The study employed a mixed methods approach, and data was gathered by means of questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. The results revealed interlinked structural (such as university policies) and socio-cultural factors that contribute to the exclusion of female students from Rwanda’s top university. Given the complexities involved, this calls for a multi-pronged approach to address the issue of female representation at the University.

La cobertura mediática de la ocupación de viviendas y el pánico moral. Análisis de los magacines matinales de TVE y Telecinco
Authors: García Molina Lourdes
Published: July 2022

Este artículo analiza el tratamiento mediático realizado por dos magacines, La Mañana (TVE) y El Programa de Ana Rosa (Telecinco), sobre las noticias de ocupaciones de viviendas, una cuestión que ha ganado espacio, tanto mediático como político, en los últimos tiempos. El objetivo principal de esta investigación es comprobar si estas informaciones se corresponden con una cobertura generadora de pánico moral, así como determinar si se prioriza un enfoque de suceso criminal o de problema social. Para ello, se estudian veinte programas emitidos en los meses de junio, julio y agosto de 2020 mediante técnicas de análisis cualitativas. El estudio está basado en la teoría framing partiendo de cinco frames propuestos por Semetko y Valkenburg (2000) y con 21 rasgos establecidos ad hoc para detectar los matices de la cobertura. Se concluye que la televisión privada presta una mayor atención a las noticias sobre ocupaciones de viviendas que la televisión pública, así como que el tratamiento mediático se corresponde con una cobertura generadora de pánico moral, con gran presencia del marco de conflicto. Además, prima un enfoque de suceso criminal representado como un atentado violento contra la propiedad privada.
El consumo de alcohol, tabaco y drogas en los jóvenes: un estudio sobre las teen series españolas recientes (2015-2021)
Authors: Palomares-Sánchez Patricia , Hidalgo-Marí Tatiana , Segarra-Saavedra Jesús
Published: July 2022

El presente trabajo analiza la representación de los adolescentes y el consumo de alcohol, tabaco y otras drogas en las teen series españolas recientes (2015-2021) creadas para la televisión convencional y las plataformas de video on demand (VOD). Resulta esencial estudiar el discurso que la ficción televisiva ofrece sobre el consumo de sustancias en la adolescencia para conocer los modelos identitarios y las representaciones sociales que se presentan, puesto que las personas jóvenes suelen recurrir a las series de televisión como fuente de información sobre temas en los que son más inexpertos, como pueden ser algunas cuestiones y problemáticas específicas en torno al consumo de sustancias psicoactivas. Para ello, se ha trabajado sobre una metodología mixta, que conjuga datos cuantitativos con cualitativos desde un enfoque socio-semiótico, que analiza desde dos escenarios distintos un total de seis ficciones: tres creadas para la televisión generalista y tres para las plataformas in streaming, con el objetivo de identificar las tendencias de representación más recientes a partir de la llegada de las distribuidoras de contenido televisivo digital de pago a España en 2015. El estudio evidencia que, a pesar de que la ficción juvenil incorpora narrativas que abordan las posibles consecuencias negativas del consumo de sustancias, las teen series españolas reflejan un consumo extendido y normalizado entre los adolescentes que se asocia a la diversión y a la socialización, en lugar de apostar por relatos críticos y reflexivos.

The practical part of denazification of Ukraine
Authors: Ivanov Oleg
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the problems of denazification of Ukraine. Denazification is understood in the context of the transformation of the identity of the population of Ukraine during a special military operation and after its completion. The relevance of the formation of a new society in the territories of Ukraine, which have chosen the vector of cooperation with Russia, is substantiated. Based on historical experience, taking into account local specifics, key mechanisms for the formation of such an identity are proposed, in particular: the ban of all old political parties, lustration of officials, control over the media, the use of "soft power" of the Russian world, including the dissemination of its linguistic and cultural achievements, the restoration of historical memory. It is concluded that the meaning of denazification in the understanding proposed in the article goes far beyond the Ukrainian post-Soviet transit and Ukrainian-Russian interstate relations. The modernization and transformation of Ukrainian society, its total denazification should become the point from which not only the construction of a new system of European and global security will begin, but also a new, more stable world order that allows us to effectively respond to modern global challenges. The novelty and practical significance of the work consists in a systematic analysis of the problems associated with the formation of a new Ukrainian identity, taking into account the current situation.

A single-shot determination of differential gene network on multiple disease subtypes
Authors: Sadhu Arnab , Bhattacharyya Balaram , Mukhopadhyay Tathagato
Published: July 2022

Differential gene expressional network determines the prominent genes under altered phenotypes. Traditional approach requires n(n-2)/2 comparisons for n phenotypes. We present a direct method for determining the differential network under multiple phenotypes.

                We explore the non-discrete nature of gene expression as a pattern in fuzzy rough set. An edge between a pair of genes represents positive region of fuzzy similarity relation upon a phenotypic change. We apply a weight ranking formula and obtain a directed ranked network; we term it as Phenotype Interweaved Network. Nodes with large in-degree connectivity bubble up as significant genes under respective phenotypic changes.

                We test the method on datasets of six diseases and achieve good corroboration with results of previous studies in two-step approach. The subgraphs of isolated genes achieve good significance upon validation through information theoretic approach. Top ranking genes determined in all our case studies have parity with genes reported by wet-lab tests.
A Diffusion Model of Binary Systems Controlled by Chemical Potential Gradient
Authors: Wróbel Marek , Burbelko Andriy
Published: July 2022

The paper presents a model of diffusion in a single phase with chemical potential gradient as the driving force of the process. Fick’s laws are strictly empirical and the assumption that the concentration gradients are the driving forces of diffusion is far from precise. Instead, the gradient of chemical potential μi of component i is the real driving force. The matter of governing equations of models that incorporate this approach will be raised and discussed in this article. One of more important features is the ability to acquire results where diffusion against the concentration gradient may occur. The presented model uses the Finite Difference Method (FDM) and employs the CALPHAD method to obtain chemical potentials. The calculations of chemical potential are carried out for instant conditions – temperature and composition – in the entire task domain by Thermo-Calc via a TQ-Interface. Then the heterogeneity of chemical potentials is translated into mass transfer for each individual element. Calculations of two modelling tasks for one-dimension diffusion field were carried out. First: isothermal conditions with linear initial composition distribution and second: constant temperature gradient with uniform chemical composition in the specimen. Results for two binary solid solutions: Fe-C and Fe-Si, in the FCC phase for the given tasks will be presented. Modelling allows us to estimate the time needed to reach a desired state in a particular equilibrium or quasi-equilibrium state. It also shows the path of the composition change during the process. This can be used to determine whether the system at some point is getting close to the formation of another phase due to significant deviation from its initial conditions.
Synthesis of geological data and comparative phylogeography of lowland tetrapods suggests recent dispersal through lowland portals crossing the Eastern Andean Cordillera
Authors: Rodriguez-Muñoz Erika , Montes Camilo , Rojas-Runjaic Fernando J. M. , Crawford Andrew J.
Published: July 2022

Vicariance is the simplest explanation for divergence between sister lineages separated by a potential barrier, and the northern Andes would seem to provide an ideal example of a vicariant driver of divergence. We evaluated the potential role of the uplift of the Eastern Cordillera (EC) of the Colombian Andes and the Mérida Andes (MA) of Venezuela as drivers of vicariance between lowland populations co-distributed on both flanks. We synthesized published geological data and provided a new reconstruction showing that the EC-MA grew from north to south, reaching significant heights and separating drainages and changing sediment composition by 38–33 million years ago (Ma). A few lowland passes across the EC-MA may have reached their current heights (~1,900 m a.s.l.) at 3–5 Ma. We created a comparative phylogeographic data set for 37 lineages of lowland tetrapods. Based on molecular phylogenetic analyses, most divergences between sister populations or species across the EC-MA occurred during Pliocene and the Quaternary and a few during the latest Miocene, and coalescent simulations rejected synchronous divergence for most groups. Divergence times were on average slightly but significantly more recent in homeotherms relative to poikilotherms. Because divergence ages are mostly too recent relative to the geological history and too asynchronous relative to each other, divergence across the northern Andes may be better explained by organism-environment interactions concomitant with climate oscillations during the Pleistocene, and/or dispersal across portals through the Andes.

Published: July 2022

To study the effects of different types of commercially available drinks/beverages on neurobehavior using the model organism C. elegans, and critically review their potential health hazards. Eighteen kinds of beverages from the supermarket were randomly selected and grouped into seven categories namely functional beverage, tea beverage, plant protein beverage, fruit juice beverage, dairy beverage, carbonated beverage and coffee beverage. The pH value, specific gravity and osmotic pressure were also examined. The L4 stage N2 worms were exposed to different concentration of tested beverages (0, 62.5, 125, 250 and 500 µL/mL) for 24 h to measure the survival rate and locomotory behavior such as head thrashing, body bending as well as pharyngeal pumping. All the 18 beverages tested did not induce any visible lethal effects in the nematodes. However, exposure to different types of tested beverages exhibited different effects on the behavioral ability of C. elegans: (1) sports functional beverage and herbal tea drink accelerated the head thrashing and body bending of nematodes when compared to the control group (P < 0.05). (2) The vibration frequency of the pharyngeal pump of nematodes was significantly accelerated after treated with three plant protein beverages (almond milk, coconut milk and milk tea) and dairy products A and B (P < 0.05), and decelerated after treatment with other tested beverages. (3) Carbonated beverage significantly inhibits the head thrashing, body bending and pharyngeal pumping vibration (P < 0.05). Our results indicate that 18 kinds of popular beverages in the market have different influence on the neurobehavior in C. elegans, which may be related to their different components or properties. Further research would be required to conduct a systematic analysis of the effect of beverages by appropriate kinds, taking into consideration other endpoints such as reproduction, lifespan and molecular stress response, etc., and to elucidate the mechanism for its potential health hazards.

Multiparameter Flowcytometry for Diagnosis and Subtyping of Mature Lymphocytic Neoplasms in Peripheral Blood and Bone Marrow: A Prospective Observational Study
Authors: Jambhulkar Shailendra , Kodate Purnima , Makde Manjiri , Waghmare Mukesh , Tijare Jayshri , Kumbhalkar DT
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Multiparameter Flowcytometry (MFC) is a high throughput, quick, and practical technique for diagnoses of Chronic Lymphoproliferative Disorders (CLPDs). Indian CLPDs cases have distinct distribution and presentation than the developed world. Moreover, limited studies have confirmed the diagnostic utility of MFC in Indian CLPDs cases. Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic utility of MFC in peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate of CLPDs cases. Materials and Methods: This was a single centre, prospective, observational study involving clinico-morphologically suspected or diagnosed 85 CLPDs cases. It was carried out in the Department of Pathology, Government Medical College and Hospital, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India, from January 2016 to November 2019. The patients were followed up for peripheral smear (PS) and Bone Marrow(BM) MFC and staging in nodal or extranodal Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma was done. Results: Clinico-morphological examination led to the diagnosis of 74 CLPD cases, while remaining 11 cases were strongly suspected. MFC immunophenotyping was contributory in diagnosing 74 CLPD cases which on further subtyping consisted of B-cell CLPD (N=70), and T-cell CLPD (N=3), while one case of B-NHL could not be subtyped. The most common B-cell CLPD included multiple myeloma (n=27), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (n=25), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n=7). T-cell CLPD included hepatosplenic gamma delta T-cell lymphoma (N=2) and adult T-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma (n=3), burkitt’s lymphoma (n=2), mantle cell lymphoma (n=2), prolymphocytic leukemia (n=2), splenic marginal zonal lymphoma (n=2), B Cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (n=1). Finally, 11 suspected cases mostly comprised of reactive lymphocytosis (81.8%). Conclusion: MFC immunophenotyping led to diagnoses and determination of CLPD sub-class. It also resulted in rapid diagnoses of reactive hyperplasia and non-hematolymphoid malignancy which may mimic CLPD on morphology and hence, difficult to diagnose based on morphology alone.

Authors: Narayana Pusala Varun , Vaishnav Bhumika , Gowda S Bharath , Satpathy Prasanna Kumar , Gopal Prashant , Nikitha Nimmagadda
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Fever is a common symptom with multifactorial etiologies. In tropical country like India, most of the cases of acute febrile illness are due to seasonal viral diseases and vector-borne infections. Aim: To know the causes of acute onset fever in immunocompetent adults and to study the prevalence of neutropaenia. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done on 403 patients presenting with Acute Febrile Illness (AFI) of <14 days duration admitted to a tertiary care hospital, Pune, Maharashtra, India from January 2019 to January 2020. Total Leukocyte Count (TLC), Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) and investigations for dengue, malaria, leptospirosis, enteric fever, atypical infections like brucella, rickettsia and relevant body fluid cultures were done. The categorical and continuous variables were expressed as frequency, percentage, and standard deviation. Results: Out of 403 patients, 214 were males (53.1%) and 189 females (46.9%) with mean age of 28.57±11.26 years. Cause of fever was found in 254 (63%) patients. Dengue fever was the most common cause in 221 (54.8%) followed by Acute Undifferentiated Febrile Illness (AUFI) in 149 (37%). Transient neutropaenia was present in 38.5% cases, mostly with dengue. Only 5.2% patients with AFI required antibiotics. Conclusion: Dengue fever, the most common cause of AFI chiefly affecting young adults. Neutropaenia in AFI in immunocompetent adult is transient and benign. Antibiotics are not required in majority of the cases of AFI without organ specific aetiologies.
Comparison of Nalbuphine and Dexmedetomidine versus Nalbuphine and Propofol for Monitored Anaesthesia Care in Tympanoplasty: A Randomised Double-blind Study
Authors: Gandhi Monika , Jain Shikha , Arora KK , Valecha Deepali
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Tymanoplasty, a middle ear surgery, is done either under Local Anaesthesia (LA), General Anaesthesia (GA) or sedation with local anaesthesia. It is usually performed under Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC) providing advantages of rapid onset, allowing hearing test intraoperatively and early mobilisation of the patient. Aim: To study the effect of nalbuphine/dexmedetomidine with nalbuphine/propofol on sedation and analgesia in tympanoplasties performed under MAC. Materials and Methods: This randomised, double-blind, clinical study was conducted from June 2020 to June 2021 in the Department of Anaesthesiology at Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College and MY Hospital, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India. Total 60 adult patients, of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade I and II undergoing tympanoplasty under MAC, were randomly allocated into two groups. All patients received injection nalbuphine 50 μg/kg intravenously. Group D received a bolus dose of injection dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg i.v. over 10 min followed by an infusion at 0.3 μg/kg/h i.v. Group P received a bolus dose of injection propofol 0.75 mg/ kg followed by an infusion at 0.025 mg/kg/min i.v. Sedation and analgesia were titrated to Ramsay Sedation Score (RSS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of 3 each. The vital parameters and need for intraoperative rescue sedation/analgesia were recorded and compared. Results: Mean RSS was significantly more in group D (3.11±0.055) than group P (2.80±0.350). Overall, VAS score was significantly less in group D (1.60±0.670) than group P (2.70±0.691). In group D, 2 (6%) patients and in group P, 4 (12%) patients required inj. midazolam. Similarly, the requirement of inj. paracetamol in group D was in 3 (10%) patients, and in Group P it was 10 (33%) patients. Bradycardia (23.3% in group D and 13.3% in group P) and hypotension (20% in group D and 13.3% in group P) were the major side-effects seen in the study. Conclusion: Nalbuphine/dexmedetomidine is superior to nalbuphine/propofol in producing sedation and decreasing VAS in patients undergoing tympanoplasty under MAC.

Introduction: Athletic training improves the cardiovascular, pulmonary and musculoskeletal performance. A number of studies have also suggested an improvement in neural capabilities. Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) helps in learning about various electrophysiological parameters of the nerve such as Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV), latency, amplitude, duration, etc. They influence co-ordination and speed of voluntary activity. Aim: To study the Motor Nerve Conduction Velocities (MNCV) of trained athletes and compare their values with untrained individuals. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Government Medical College, Trissur, Kerala, India, from January 2016 to January 2017. The sample consisted of 60 male subjects who included 30 athletes and 30 non athletes between ages 18 to 25. MNCV, latency, amplitude and duration of median, ulnar, and tibial nerves of both sides of the subjects were measured. These were compared using independent t-test, and p-value <0.05 was taken as significant. Results: The MNCV in athletes were found to be faster than non athletes. The mean MNCV of left and right median nerves were 61.5±2.60 m/s and 61.45±2.52 m/s in athletes, and 56.48±2.70 m/s and 56.73±2.51 m/s in non athletes respectively. The mean MNCV of the left and right ulnar nerves were 61.28±2.64 m/s and 61.58±3.15 m/s in athletes, and 57.87±3.42 m/s and 58.05±3.94 m/s in non athletes. The mean MNCV of the left and right tibial nerves were 46.34±3.44 m/s and 46.37±3.60 m/s in athletes, and 44.74±3.46 m/s and 44.86±3.58 m/s in non athletes. In both tibial nerves, the proximal and distal amplitude was higher, and the proximal and distal duration was lower in athletes. Conclusion: The results indicated MNCV of athletes were higher which could be beneficial in their sports performance.

Aims: This paper aims to explore the soil parameters and pulling force requirement of tapioca root for the design and development of tractor operated tapioca harvester.

Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted to investigate the soil parameters and pulling force requirement of tapioca roots at farmer’s field in the year 2021-22.

Methodology: The soil parameters viz. moisture content, bulk density, cone index and shear strength and pulling force requirement of tapioca root were studied using standard test procedure that plays an important role in design of soil engaging components and conveying unit of the tuber harvester.

Results: The results showed that soil moisture content varied from 13.11 to 16.08 per cent, whereas bulk density ranged from 1483.07 to 1729.56 kg m-3. The cone index varied from 0.33 to 0.98 N mm-2 with an average value of 0.637 N mm-2 and shear strength ranged from 1.34 × 10-3 to 3.48 × 10-3 N mm-2 with the mean value of 2.46 × 10-3 N mm-2. The average value of pulling force requirement for tapioca roots was 103.4 kgf. The root depth and root yield per plant of tapioca roots has an average value of 250.30 mm and 7.82 kg.

Conclusion: The study shows that bulk density of soil increased with increase in soil moisture content and had a linear relationship. The coefficient of determination (R2) for the regression model was 93.20 per cent by revealing the linear relationship between shear strength and cone index. Thus shear strength and cone index are related with each other and have an indefinite effect on the design parameters of soil engaging components of tuber harvester.

A study on fate and transport of mixed contaminants (Cr, Cd and PFOA- Perfluorooctanoic acid) in soil was studied through incubation experiment. The study was carried over in Department of Environmental Sciences, Tamilnadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore between February 2022 and April 2022. The experiment includes 10 treatments with 3 replications and studied for 60 days of incubation. The contaminants (Cr, Cd and PFOA) and amendments (Biochar and humic acid) were spiked in known concentration in the unpolluted soil and analytical methods (physical and chemical properties) carried over to know their degradability, mobility, availability in soil. After 60 days of incubation period, the concentration of chromium, cadmium and PFOA was reduced to 31.5 per cent, 27.5 per cent and 30 per cent respectively. This was due to the addition of organic amendments (Biochar and humic acid). These amendments act as a sorbent in accumulating the contaminants within their pore spaces. Hence the concentration of the contaminants reduced in the soil during the incubation period.
