The Epidemiology of Avian Influenza and its Significance for Public Health
Authors: Adere Teshale , Mukaria Mesfin
Published: March 2023

One of the current greatest risks to public health is avian influenza (AI), which originated from the animal reservoir. Therefore the objective of this seminar is to describe the available of epidemiological aspects of AI and to concisely mention public health importance of avian influenza. Although influenza infections in poultry, mainly chickens and turkeys, might go undetected, they frequently lead to production losses and a variety of clinical illnesses ranging in severity from moderate to severe in flocks that are affected. Both the fecal-oral pathway and aerosols can be used to disseminate avian influenza viruse.The majority of LPAI virus transmission occurs through the respiratory route, despite the fact that fecal shedding might occasionally be considerable. Poultry influenza Viruses are categorized as Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) or Low Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (LPAI) based on how sick and potentially fatal they can make chickens in a laboratory environment. Serious respiratory symptoms, pneumonia, and even mortality, can be brought on by HPAI viruses. By isolating the virus in eggs or cell cultures, or by checking for viral protein, viral nucleic acid, or AI virus antibodies, it is feasible to determine whether someone has been exposed to the AI virus or has become infected with it.Both adamantine and neuraminidase inhibitors, which both block a viral protein, are examples of antiviral drugs that used to prevent and cure influenza. Therefore, for disasters, there should be enabling legislation and an emergency management system (i.e., HPAI incursion) and should be made prompt medical attention and yearly vaccinations.

What counts as progress in criminal law scholarship?

The article discusses what should be considered as ‘progress’ in criminal law scholarship, as a legal scholarly discipline. What is considered progress depends on one’s ideas about the aim(s) of a scholarly discipline and how it should develop to better achieve that aim. Criminal law scholarship is, for its part, characterized by its study of positive criminal law from a knowledge point of view, one that puts criminal law scholarship in close contact with the philosophy of criminal law. At the same time, positive criminal law must be subjected to this perspective. As such, while criminal law scholarship may progress in many ways, the article claims particular importance to what is called ‘theoretical integration’. This refers to the operation of bringing aspects of positive law into the knowledge perspective of criminal law scholarship, to subject it to study. The article exemplifies the value of doing so by three works from contemporary criminal law scholarship.
Examination of Deformation in Thin-Walled Structures Processed by Micro-Milling Method
Authors: HASÇELİK Ahmet , ASLANTAS Kubilay
Published: March 2023

Micro-thin-walled structures are frequently encountered in micro-pumps, micro-channel cooler plates, and micro-molds in the defense, aerospace and biomedical sectors. One of the micro-machining methods frequently used to obtain micro-thin-walled structures is micro-milling. The micro-milling method makes machining possible for micro-components with high accuracy and a good surface finish. However, there are many issues to consider when micro-milling thin-walled geometries. The fact that the wall deformation is directly related to the rate of progression necessitates knowing what effects the rate of progression cause on the wall deformation. Because the micro milling technique is generally used as the final cutting process in the creation of thin wall geometries in the industry. In this study, thin-walled structures were obtained by micro-milling the Al6061-T6 material. The influence of feed rate on wall deformation was investigated by applying different feed rates in micro milling experiments. Wall deformation measurements were performed using a motorized optical profilometer device. It has been observed that increasing feed value causes an enhance in cutting forces, it also causes an increase in the deformation of the micro-thin wall. The deformation distance between the end points of the micro-milled wall geometry using a feed rate of 1 µm/tooth is three times greater than the thin-wall geometry created using a feed rate of 0.2 µm/tooth. It has been determined that the deformation is much higher in the entrance and exit areas of the micro-thin wall. The wall deformation also decreases from the upper point to the lower points of the micro-thin wall. While the deviation distance in the measurement taken from the upper point of the wall geometry obtained by using the 1 µm/tooth feed rate, where the deformation is more, can reach 100 µm, the deviation at the lower point of the wall is negligible.

Democratising Digital Educational Game Design for Social Change
Authors: Myers Christina , Piccolo Lara , Collins Trevor
Published: March 2023

Digital games can be used as educational tools for tackling structural inequalities and promoting social justice. Designing games with these purposes is often a complex task that requires a myriad of combined expertise, including games’ mechanics, software development, educational game design, pedagogy, and knowledge of the educational topic (which can target very specific social issues). Democratising the design of educational games is used to increase the agency and participation of diverse and novice groups throughout design processes - and can be used to improve the efficiency of such games as it directly leads to the inclusion of broad voices, knowledge, experiences and perspectives. This research adopted a Design-Based Research methodology to create, evaluate and validate 13 design principles to democratise the design of educational games for social change. Three research phases were implemented in turn: a preliminary research, prototyping and evaluation phase. The preliminary research phase was based on creating these principles by grounding them on fundamentals of Critical Pedagogy, a theory of education which presents pedagogical techniques to accelerate learning, engagement and social change. The prototyping phase was based on conducting semi-structured interviews to assess and improve these principles with educational and game design experts. During the evaluation phase, these principles were applied and evaluated during two weekend-long game design events, which were mostly attended by diverse groups who had never designed a digital game before. This research presents theoretical and practical contributions related to how to democratise educational game design for social change. It evidenced the relevance of facilitating design principles that addresses what could be done to trigger learning in games by presenting design principles; why this learning could be facilitated, from both educational and gaming perspectives; and how to implement these principles into an educational game.

Students are considered the most essential internal stakeholders in the higher education sector. They play a significant role in quality assurance processes. This study aims to investigate students’ engagement with and perceptions of Vietnamese higher education quality assurance. The study conducted an online survey questionnaire for undergraduate students in five major cities across Vietnam. The researchers utilised convenience sampling method to draw a representative sample from the target population. The 1,323 valid responses were collected and analysed using IBM’s SPSS Statistical Tool. The results show that most of the Vietnamese students were aware of quality policy and quality assurance models implemented at their institutions. The purposes of quality assurance and the focus level of quality assurance were also reported on by the majority of respondents. However, the positive change as to the results of quality assurance implementation was not clearly observed by the students. The paper concludes that Vietnamese students were involved in several major quality assurance processes, and they were aware of only important quality assurance tools implemented at their university.

Published: March 2023

The genetic manipulation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) can be used as an alternative to somatic cell nuclear transfer method for the production of transgenic animals. SSCs are now in vitro cultured and transplanted in sheep, however, there are no known protocol for DNA transfection of sheep SSCs. The aim of present study was to define the optimal transfection conditions of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) in early and late ovine SSC colony formation stages in culture. SSCs were isolated from the slaughterhouse ram testis tissue using a two-step enzymatic digestion process. Results showed that, 2 µl of DNA with 0.5 µg of Lipofectamin or Turbofect were able to transfect SSC colonies at late stage. Since the colonies of SSCs were not in logarithmic growth phase, around 15% of colonies were transfected and no significant difference between Lipofectamin or Turbofect was observed. However, more cells were transfected on early stages of SSC colony formation (7th days), especially when Turbofect was used (around 40 and 45% for Lipofectamin and Turbofect, respectively). Although the early stages SSCs were more suitable for transfection, but the formation of colonies were impaired on transfected cells.

Published: March 2023

Heat stress is a major limiting factor in livestock production under tropical climate. Buffaloes have poor heat tolerance capacity compared to other domestic ruminants and are more prone to heat stress due to scarcely distributed sweat glands, dark body colour and sparse hair on the body surface. Therefore present study was undertaken to study the effect of seasonal stress on Murrah buffalo. Twenty five healthy non-lactating Murrah buffaloes each above two years of age were selected for the experiment. Rectal temperature, respiration rate, haematological parameters and various hormones level were measured in different season to know the effect of heat stress in buffalo. Season had no significant effect on rectal temperature, total leukocyte count (TLC), triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) level. However, it had significant effect on respiration rate, total erythrocyte count (TEC), haemoglobin (Hb) level, lymphocyte and neutrophil counts, and cortisol level in murrah buffalo. They had lowest level of TEC, Hb and lymphocyte, and highest neutrophil and cortisol level in summer season. Therefore, it can be concluded that various season had considerable effect on Murrah buffalo.

Published: March 2023

A study was conducted on 18 lactating dairy cows (mean milk yield, 10 kg/day) for 6 months by feeding paddy straw based complete rations containing different levels of NDF, in 2 phases, viz. early and mid lactation, to assess the microbial protein synthesis using purine derivatives (PD) excreted in urine. Isonitrogenous and isocaloric complete rations; T1, T2 and T3 with 25, 30 and 35% NDF, respectively, were formulated as per ICAR (1998). Paddy straw was the sole source of roughage NDF and the rest of was NDF met by non-forage sources, in 3 diets. PD excreted through urine was comparable between the dietary treatments, in phases I and II. The microbial protein (MBP) synthesis in T1, T2 and T3 was 997.01, 825.91 and 842.06 g, respectively, in phase I; and 1127.93, 1106.74 and 1157.24 g, respectively, in phase II. The TDN intake calculated from the values of digestibility coefficients of nutrients in T1, T2 and T3 was 5.18, 5.86 and 6.10 kg in phase I; and 8.63, 8.81 and 9.00 kg, in phase II, respectively. The efficiency of MBP production/kg of TDN was 192.47, 140.94, and 138.04 g in phase I; and 130.70, 125.62 and 128.58 g in phase II, respectively in T1, T2 and T3. Results suggested that complete diets with 25% are the most ideal NDF level in early lactation while all three NDF levels, viz. 25, 30 and 35% are ideal in mid lactation.

Published: March 2023

A total of 40 (20 normal and 20 lame) lactating crossbred Karan Fries cows were randomly divided, considering their age, stage of lactation and parity, into four equal groups so as to rear on sand and pucca floor. Therefore, each group of sand and pucca floor included 10 normal and 10 lame cows for comparative study. All the lactating cows were recorded for milk fat %, rumen pH and lying time at fortnightly interval to find out existence of any kind of association with lameness. Parameters were recorded from each animal at fortnightly interval for duration of four months. Locomotion score of all the animals was recorded by visual examination of posture and gait of cows. Rumen pH was significantly (P<0.01) lower in lame KF cows in comparison to normal (non-lame) cows irrespective of type of floor. Similarly, locomotion score differed significantly (P<0.01) between lame and normal KF cows on both the floors. There was no significant difference with respect to milk fat percentage and lying time between lame and normal group of cows on both the floors. However, cows on sand floor showed significantly (P<0.01) higher lying time as compared to cows on pucca floor. Lower ruminal pH in lame cows could be one of the possible reasons for other complications related to lameness in lactating cows. Hence, soft bedding and diet management can be recommended for efficient management of crossbred lactating dairy animals with respect to hoof related problems.

The brown type donkeys of Andhra Pradesh, which are mainly concentrated in Kurnool and Anathapur districts, were evaluated for within breed genetic diversity and bottlenecks using heterologous microsatellite markers. The genomic DNA, isolated from 28 blood samples collected from Kurnool district, were amplified by PCR using FAM and HEX labeled primers and resolved for alleles on automatic DNA sequencer. In all, twenty loci of the horse origin were tested and only 12 loci gave scorable results. Rest of the loci either did not amplify (HMS3 and HMS7) or did not resolve properly (VHL20) or showed less than 4 alleles (HMS5, HMS6, HTG4, ASB17 and COR22) in the studied population. At the 12 loci included in the final analysis, the PCR product size range varied from 76-92 bp at locus HTG6 to 257-273 bp at locus COR18. The observed number of alleles varied from 4 (VHL209) to 10 (AHT5 and HTG7) with a mean of 6.92±1.83. The effective number of alleles ranged from 1.62 (VHL209) to 7.91 (AHT5) with a mean of 4.21±2.06. The observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.32 (HMS2) to 0.92 (AHT5) with a mean of 0.57±0.2. The expected heterozygosity ranged between 0.39 (VHL209) to 0.89 (AHT5 and HTG7) with a mean of 0.72Â±0.14. The mean genetic diversity estimate (FIS) was 0.21 indicating moderately high levels of inbreeding. The cumulative exclusion probability (PE) of these loci was 0.999892 indicating their suitability for parentage testing in these donkeys. The sign test, standardized differences test, the Wilcoxon test using the allelic frequency data at the studied loci as well as normal 'L' shaped distribution of the allelic frequency indicated the absence of any recent genetic bottleneck in Brown type donkeys of Andhra Pradesh. When these donkeys were compared to Spiti donkeys of Himachal Pradesh on the basis of allelic frequency data at these loci, they showed Nei's standard and unbiased genetic distances of 0.32 and 0.29, respectively.

Published: March 2023

Digestibility trial was conducted to determine the apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) in untreated palm kernel cake (PKC) and fermented palm kernel cake (FPKC) on finisher broiler. Paenibacillus polymyxa ATCC 842 and P. curdlanolyticus DSMZ 10248 were used to produce FPKCa and FPKCb, respectively through solid state fermentation (SSF). Broiler male chickens were fed with diets containing 15% PKC from day one until 41 days of age. Birds (36) were selected with uniform body weight, and randomly distributed into 3 groups with 6 replicates in each treatment and 2 birds per replicate. The chickens were deprived from food overnight with free access to drinking water. The birds were fed PKC, FPKCa and FPKCb with indigestible marker. All the chickens were allowed free access to the test ingredients and drinking water for 4 days. The birds were slaughtered; ileal digesta were individually collected, pooled within each replicate in plastic cups; and immediately kept at -20°C for chemical analysis. The findings showed that the process of SSF by cellulolytic bacteria increased the levels of CP from 16.43% in the PKC to 16.68% and 16.80% in FPKCb and FPKCa, respectively. The AID of CP was increased in FPKC compared to the PKC. Additionally, there was an increase in the digestibilities of AA in FPKC compared to untreated PKC. The process of SSF decreased the fibres in FPKC, and there was improvement in the nutrient value of FPKC by cellulolytic bacterial cultures in terms of nutrient content and digestibility.

Study of complex biological networks is essential for understanding their functional characteristics. Network motifs have functional significance in biological networks as they represent building blocks of these networks. This study evaluates master-worker parallelization approach on sequential PATRICIA trie based fast network motif search algorithm for distributed memory model based High Performance Clusters (HPCs). Proposed algorithm uses PATRICIA trie for data compression during census of subgraphs based upon ESU algorithm. Parallel implementation was done using MPI and C language. We applied proposed parallel algorithm to three real networks viz. networks of metabolic pathway of E.coli, electronic and social networks. PATRICIA based parallel approach was able to achieve speedup of 50.75, 49.37, 38.07 as analysed on 101 cores on networks of metabolic pathway of E.coli, electronic and social networks respectively for large motifs of size 9 for E.coli, social and 10 for electronic networks over the PATRICIA trie based sequential algorithm.

Published: March 2023

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of litter size on pre-pubertal body weight and testicular volume in crossbred (Landrace × Desi) boars. The body weights of the piglets in small litter were significantly higher than large litter, at all age except weaning. At 22 weeks of age, boar reared in small litter was 10 kg heavier than larger litter. The testicular volume was significantly higher in all the piglets of small litter than piglets of larger litter at 18 and 22 weeks. However, at 14 weeks, piglets of small litter showed a tendency of higher testicular volume than the piglets of larger litter size. The results of this study suggest that piglets born and reared with small litter size are beneficial to obtain higher body weight and testicular volume around puberty. This may be helpful in early selection of boars for future use in artificial insemination.
Planning of agricultural inputs in Ur watershed to maximize net benefit under limited resources
Authors: SINGH DEEPAK , GOYAL VIKASH C
Published: March 2023

Two models (CROPWAT and LINGO) were used to optimize the resource allocation and achieving higher efficiency in agricultural productivity. Quantitative evaluation of hydro-meteorology parameters was carried out for crop water and irrigation requirement planning using CROPWAT model. Whereas, LINGO model applied to determine the optimum land and water resources allocation to major crops of kharif and rabi season in the Ur watershed using agriculture data such as net income per ha which was calculated based on various sub factures, viz. cost of fertilizers and pesticides, cost of seeds, yield of crops, daily wages of labour and machine charges, selling base price of commodities. Results revealed that the crop water requirement in kharif season was 593 cm and in rabi season 421 cm, whereas irrigation requirement was 71.16 cm and 294.7 cm respectively. Because, the crop grown during kharif season require less irrigation water. Therefore only supplemental irrigation requirement have to be planned for kharif crops. But in rabi season, more irrigation water is required to bring whole area under cultivation. That’s why the scenarios were considered based on available resources of watershed to fulfill the demand. Output of the CROPWAT model was used as input of the LINGO model for formulation of the linear programming equations under different scenario. There were three scenarios considered in each cropping seasons, viz. in kharif season (i) Existing scenario; (ii) Some need based crop scenario; (iii) Limitation with cash crop scenario; and in rabi season (i) Existing scenario with conventional method of wheat growing; (ii) Scenario under System of Wheat Intensification; (iii) Scenario under increasing 10% irrigation water. It was observed that the combination of both the models is appropriate for finding the optimal land and water resources allocation to the major crops in kharif and rabi season for maximizing net income of the watershed.

The data analysis of the transport fleet management system carried out during the research made it possible to identify problem areas and foresee areas for improvement. The analysis of data from the telematics system of the truck manufacturer made it possible to evaluate the impact of the vehicle fleet on environmental pollution. Quantitative data analysis revealed the predominant driving style of the vehicle fleet. Keywords: green logistics, economic driving, indicators of economic driving, evaluation of economic driving.
Dr. Maša Živanović: A Pioneer in Health Care for Women and Children in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Tahirović Husref , Miloradović Maša , Jovanović Simić Jelena
Published: March 2023

The aim of the article is to present, primarily to the medical world and also the general public, the personality and work of Maša Živanović (1890–1960), a pioneer in the health care of children and mothers in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH), a health educator and one of the leaders of the Yugoslav Women’s Rights Movement in the period between the two world wars. She was born in Croatia (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) as Maria Skopszyński, in a family of Polish-Czech origin. After studying at the Temporary Women’s Lyceum in Zagreb and passing the matriculation exam at the boy’s High School (1909), she obtained the title of Doctor of Medicine in Vienna (1916). Her activity in the Women’s Rights Movement has so far generally attracted more attention from researchers than her medical work. However, this work was very important because the general and health education of women, expectant mothers and mothers, after the two World Wars was very poor in BH, and the rates of child morbidity and mortality were high. Maša Živanović spent almost her entire working life in Sarajevo. For 30 years, she was the head of the Dispensary for Mothers and the Children, later the Institute for Maternal and Child Health Care, into which the previous institution grew in 1931. She was among the first followers of the new concept of “comprehensive paediatrics“, which included social care for children, disease prevention and treatment of the sick. She successfully connected the medical mission with the mission of a women’s rights activist, also trying to act as a health educator through articles published in the Women’s Movement magazine (Ženski pokret). For a time, she was the president of the Society for the Education of Woman and Protection of her Rights, i.e. the Women’s Movement, and a delegate at conferences of international feminist organizations.

Conclusion. Maša Živanović was a physician, a pioneer in the health care of children and mothers in BH, a long-time director of the Institute for Health Care of Mothers and Children in Sarajevo, and one of the leaders of the Yugoslav Women’s Rights Movement.

Feeding Metro Manila in 2050: A Food System Vision
Authors:   Agriculture Sciences Division, National Academy of Science and Technology Philippines, Rasco, Jr. Eufemio
Published: March 2023

This document argues that the existing food system in the Philippines is dysfunctional because it fails to support the nutritional needs of consumers, degrades the environment, and keeps farmers poor. To correct the system, a multisectoral team led by NAST PHL proposed a consumer-led and farmer-empowered vision of a circular food system. Responsible consumption will trigger transformative changes in all steps of the food system, not the least of which is the improved health of consumers. Farmers’ income will increase as they diversify farming in response to consumer demand. In addition, farmers will get a better share of the consumer peso by performing value-adding activities and being more directly connected to consumers. There will be less pressure on the environment with more efficient resource utilization, reduced waste, and pollution.
Masa oyunu uzmanlığı üzerine bir derleme: Zekâ uzman performansın belirleyicisi midir?
Authors: Aydın Hatice Kübra
Published: March 2023

Uzmanlık çalışmaları, temel olarak bir alanda üstün performans sergileyen kişilerin diğer kişilerden farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını anlamaya çalışır. Aynı zamanda bir alanda üstün performans sergilemenin doğuştan gelen bir yeteneğin mi yoksa yoğun bir çalışmanın sonucu mu olduğu konusu uzmanlıkta yıllardır tartışılmaktadır. Uzman performansın en önemli belirleyicisi kasıtlı alıştırmalar olarak görülse de söz konusu satrancın da içinde olduğu oyunlar olduğunda diğer alanlara kıyasla, açıklamalar çoğunlukla performans düzeyindeki farklılıkların sebebini zekâ ile açıklamaya yönelik olmaktadır. Bu nedenle yapılan bu derlemede, çeşitli masa oyunu oyuncularıyla yapılan davranışsal çalışmalarda zekâ ile ilişkilendirilen bilişsel becerilerin yerinin uzmanlık bağlamında değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yapılan değerlendirme sonucunda, masa oyunu uzmanlığında performansın belirleyicisinin yalnızca zekâ gibi bir bilişsel beceri ya da yalnızca alana özgü yapılan kasıtlı alıştırmalarla değil, her ikisinin etkileşimi olarak ele almak gerektiği çıkarımında bulunmak yanlış olmayacaktır.
