Published: December 2023

This study investigated the impact of six different doneness temperatures (rare, medium-rare, me- dium, medium-well, well-done, and very well-done) on the sensory qualities, physicochemical properties, and microbiological characteristics of indigenous beef from Bangladesh. The beef was cooked at the following temperatures: Rare: 52 °C, Medium-rare: 57 °C, Medium: 65 °C, Medium- well: 66 °C, Well-done: 71 °C, Very Well-done: 80 °C. The results demonstrated that the sensory qualities of the meat varied dramatically with cooking temperature. Rare meat had the most soft and juicy texture, whereas, extremely well-done beef had the most stiff and dry feel. The physico- chemical parameters of the beef, such as moisture content, protein content, and fat content, also varied dramatically with cooking temperature. Rare meat had the highest moisture content and lowest fat level, while extremely well-done beef had the lowest moisture content and highest fat content. The microbiological properties of the beef also changed dramatically with cooking tem- perature. Rare beef had the highest microbial burden, while extremely well-done beef had the low- est microbial load. This is because cooking at higher temperatures kills more bacteria. Previous Research has explored the effects of varying doneness temperatures on the sensory, physicochemi- cal, and microbiological aspects of beef. However, these investigations have been conducted on beef from different nations and have employed different cooking methods. Therefore, there is a research void on the impacts of doneness temperature on the sensory, physicochemical, and micro- biological features of indigenous beef of Bangladesh. The outcomes of this study have significance for optimizing cooking procedures to increase the sensory appeal and ensure the microbiological safety of indigenous beef. The data also imply that well-done meat may be a healthier alternative than medium-rare or medium steak, as it has a reduced microbial load. However, it is crucial to remember that Very Well-done beef should be avoided, as it has a dry and harsh texture. The out- comes of this study revealed that the doneness temperature of well-done, which is 71℃, fits and satisfies the consumers' unique preferences and health concerns.

Published: December 2023

The study was conducted to identify live and dead broiler meat through sensory and physicochemical attributes at 0 h and 24 h intervals. For this purpose, 15 live and 15 dead broilers were collected from the local market. After deboning, each live and dead bird’s breast, thigh, and liver were collected. A 2 × 2 factorial experiment was used for data analyses. Samples were preserved at 40C for 24 hrs. Different types of analysis, such as sensory (color, flavor, tenderness, juiciness, overall acceptability), physicochemical properties (pH, cooking loss, drip loss, water holding capacity), and instrumental color value L*, a*, b* were determined. In the case of breasts, sensory attributes like color, flavor, tenderness, juiciness, and overall acceptability mean value decreased (3.80 to 1.70) significantly (p<0.05) between live and dead birds and the mean value also decreased (3.50 to 2.00) significantly (p<0.05) at 0 h and 24 h. On the other hand, the physicochemical attributes and instrumental color values like water holding capacity, L*, a*, SI and Chroma mean value decreased significantly (p< 0.05) between live and dead birds, and the mean value of pH, drip loss, water holding capacity, and chroma also decreased significantly (p< 0.05) at 0h and 24h. In the case of the thigh, sensory attributes like color, flavor, tenderness, juiciness, and overall acceptability mean value decreased (4.90 to 1.70) significantly (p<0.05) between the two treatment levels, and there is no significant difference (p<0.05) in term of mean value at 0h and 24h of intervals. On the other hand, the physicochemical attributes like pH, water holding capacity, L*, a*, b*, SI, and chroma mean value decreased significantly (p< 0.05) between the two treatment levels, and the mean value of water holding capacity, a*, b*, SI, chroma also decreased significantly (p< 0.05) at 0 h and 24 h. In the case of the liver, sensory attributes like color, flavor, tenderness, juiciness, and overall acceptability mean value decreased (4.90 to 1.00) significantly (p<0.05) between the two treatment levels, and the mean value of color, tenderness, juiciness, overall acceptability also decreased (3.40 to 2.80) significantly (p<0.05) at 0h and 24h. On the other hand, the physicochemical attributes like pH, cooking loss, L*, b*, SI, and chroma mean value decreased significantly (p< 0.05) between the two treatment levels, and the mean value of cooking loss, drip loss, water holding capacity, a*, SI, chroma also decreased significantly (p<0.05) at 0h and 24h. On the basis of the sensory and physicochemical attributes, live broiler breast, thigh, and liver in fresh condition showed better quality. For differentiation, color, flavor, tenderness, juiciness, water holding capacity, L*, a*, b*, SI, and chroma value can be used as an identification marker between live and dead broiler meat, which is an ethical as well as religious issue.

Published: December 2023

Education informatization uses intelligent algorithms and information technology to develop educational resources, optimize the educational process, and establish a modern education concept. The global education system is the general term for the education system of different countries and regions. There are internal connections but also significant differences. Education informatization can reuse the educational resources of developed countries, improve the education level of developing countries, and realize the undifferentiated development of global education. The research on education informatization mainly stays at the theoretical level and lacks the optimization technology of the educational process, which limits the sustainable development of the global education system. Therefore, this paper proposes a global education system optimization method based on information technology, which classifies educational resources, concepts and processes in different regions and countries. Then, the system education is built through the B/S framework, and the educational resources of different B/S layers are transmitted through the wireless transmission protocol to complete the construction of the global education system. Finally, the global education system is evaluated. The results show that the global education system optimization method proposed in this paper can improve the sustainability of educational resources, the optimization rate of educational resources is greater than 80%, the optimization accuracy of the educational process is greater than 90%, and the improvement rate of educational philosophy is greater than 80%., significantly higher than the previous network information platform. Therefore, this paper proposes that the wireless transmission protocol can support education informatization, promote the sustainable development of the global education system, promote the balance of educational resources in different countries and regions, and enhance the modern education concept.

There is limited information on the soil nutrient status, site specific fertilizer and agronomic recommendations for coffee in Uganda hence limiting its production and productivity. Therefore, this study was undertaken to characterize the soils under coffee farms and provide fertilizer and land management recommendations for coffee farming in selected districts in Uganda. 717 soil samples were collected from 45 coffee growing districts that were purposively selected to represent the major coffee growing regions of Eastern, Northern, Western, Mid-west and West Nile. 35 districts were sampled from Robusta coffee growing areas and 10 districts from Arabica coffee growing areas. Parameters considered in the laboratory analysis included; pH, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, available P, exchangeable Calcium (Ca), Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), and Potassium (K) and micro elements: Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn) and Boron, soil texture, bulk density and hydraulic conductivity. Soil nutrient levels distribution maps for Robusta and Arabica coffee growing regions were generated in ArcGIS for the entire country. The soil chemical and physical properties were subjected to analysis of variance using Genstat 14th edition. The soil mapping results showed that, the overall average soil macro-nutrients concentrations were significantly different across regions (p < 0.05) with Eastern having the highest levels of macro elements (CEC of 19.28 meq/100 g, Base Saturation (BS) of 43.40%, pH of 5.78, N of 0.20%, K of 1.64 meq/100 g, P of 107.68 mg/kg and OM of 3.31%) followed by Western region. No significant difference (p > 0.05) was recorded for the micronutrients across the different regions, except Zn (p < 0.05). This study showed that Phosphorus and Potassium were generally moderate to high levels in most of the regions sampled while Nitrogen and organic matter were moderate to low. Results from this study provide a general picture of the nutrient status across all coffee growing regions in Uganda and highlight the required modifications for increased production and productivity.

Published: December 2023

Macadamia is a promising prime dessert nut with the potential of alleviating poverty and enhancing food security in Kenya. Nut set and subsequent development of nuts to maturity is dependent on pollination which is mediated by animals, and honey bees are the dominant macadamia flower visitors. However, macadamia is pollen deficit as not all flowers set develop to mature nuts, thus supplemental pollination results to better nut yields. There is limited information in Kenya among the smallholder macadamia growers on the importance of supplementing pollination to enhance nut yields. This study was conducted at Kandara Macadamia Research Centre and in a smallholder macadamia farm located 15 km from the research centre, which was purposively selected from July 2021 to May 2023. Assessment of the influence of pollinators and supplementing pollination to nut set, retention and final yields was done. Honey bee, (Apis mellifera L.) colonies were also introduced at the Macadamia Research Centre to enhance pollination and mitigate deficits. Racemes were bagged to exclude pollinators, others left open to unlimited pollinator access while others received supplemental hand pollination. The results demonstrate that macadamia is pollen limited and pollination is highly reliant on insect pollinators. There were significant differences (p < 0.001) among the bagged (pollinator exclusion), open and hand pollinated racemes in both farms. The initial nut set and retention was increased significantly (21.54%) in hand pollinated racemes compared to those that were left to open pollination (unlimited pollinator visits) depicting pollination deficit in farm B. Introduction of supplementary honey bee colonies at the Kandara Macadamia Research Centre, resulted to higher nut set, retention, nut-in-shell and kernels. Macadamia growers are encouraged to introduce honey bee colonies in their farms to improve yields and also address pollination deficits.

De Tijdelijke wet transparantie turboliquidatie en bescherming van schuldeisers van geturboliquideerde vennootschappen

De Tijdelijke wet transparantie turboliquidatie voorziet in een verplichting van het bestuur aan het einde van het leven van de rechtspersoon bepaalde stukken op te stellen en deze stukken te deponeren bij het handelsregister. De wetgever beoogt het vertrouwen in de regeling van turboliquidatie te vergroten en de bescherming van schuldeisers van ontbonden rechtspersonen te verbeteren. Auteurs bespreken de kernbepalingen van de wet en gaan in op de vraag of de positie van schuldeisers van met name vennootschappen daadwerkelijk wordt verbeterd. Geconcludeerd kan worden dat schuldeisers weliswaar inzicht krijgen in de laatste vermogenstoestand voorafgaand aan de ontbinding, maar niet zonder meer in het gehele verloop van de feitelijke vereffening. Veel zal afhangen van de kwaliteit van de gedeponeerde stukken en van de rechter die betrokken wordt bij mogelijke routes tot herstel.

Integration Versus Intrusion: Dutch Efforts to Maintain Public Order When Providing Housing to Returning Ex-Offenders

After being released from prison, ex-offenders face many challenges they have to overcome to successfully reintegrate into society. Finding adequate housing remains a particularly important yet problematic aspect of this reintegration process. Whereas a stable living situation greatly reduces ex-offenders’ risk of reoffending, their return to the (local) community may have a significant impact on the peace and quiet in the neighbourhood, potentially resulting in social unrest and threatening the public order in the area. To study this phenomenon of social unrest and to research how local authorities in the Netherlands and their partner organisations work together to prevent or respond to such unrest, both quantitative and qualitative data was collected and analysed. It was found that the return of an ex-offender relatively seldom leads to immediate threats to the public order and that local authorities prefer more informal, less repressive measures to respond to such threats. Relying on cross-agency collaboration theory, this study also reviewed how partner organisations involved with ex-offenders’ social reintegration work together. Based on this analysis, it is recommended to (further) enhance their collaboration by investing more time and resources, improving information sharing and establishing a national network of Care and Safety Houses.

Published: December 2023

Milk includes numerous compounds such as lacto-peroxidase, lactoferrin, immunoglobulin G, secretory immunoglobulin A, and Lysozymes The invasive trophozoites of E. histolytica are capable to inhabit host tissues and provoke diseases such as intestinal colitis. The objective of the study was to compare different forms of milk’s effect on E. histolytica trophopzoite by measuring protein concentration in vitro using a spectrophotometer and number of trophozoite by microscopy. For this purpose, E. histolytica trophozoites were exposed to several types of milk (human, sheep, cattle, goats, and formula) at concentrations of 6, 12, 18, and 24% for each type after 8, 16, and 24 hours of incubation. According to the findings, sheep and goat milk had lower total protein concentrations after 8 hours than other types of milk when compared to the control group. After 16 hours of incubation, raise the milk concentration to 24%   leading to a reduction in the formula milk's total protein concentration to 5g/l. after 8 and 16 hours of incubation, sheep milk and cattle have significantly lower total protein concentrations (24% vs. 8%), respectively. The action of formula and human milk is increased by 24-hour incubation. Increase the trophozoite inhibition percentage compared to metronidazole in human milk, which was followed by sheep and cattle milk with respective values of 60.9%, 56.1%, and 46.3% respectively. Human milk, goat and formula milk had the greatest inhibitory activity after incubation 24hrs. at 24%.the extent of amoebicidal activity of milk was shown to depend on incubation period and concentration of milk.

Authors: Magthab E. A.
Published: December 2023

Background: Gram-negative infections caused by non-spore producing E. coli that are facultatively anaerobic have been recognized as serious infections linked to higher mortality and significant costs associated with medical care.

Aim: The goal of this study was to determine whether or not a number of E. coli strains are capable of producing virulence genes by using a technique called real time PCR.

Materials and Methods:  155 people with burns and wounds had their cultures obtained, and susceptibility testing using swabs, tissue biopsies, and needle aspirations were performed. When compared to other techniques of specimen collection, swab cultures yield precise results and are a practicable, widely utilized, non-invasive, and cost-effective method. The two most recommended techniques for obtaining specimens are tissue biopsy and needle aspiration. Swab cultures, on the other hand, are appropriate since they are useful, widely applied, non-invasive, and reasonably priced. Samples from patients were collected in the consultation rooms, including swabs from burns and wounds. The sufferers had these taken from them. Before being identified, smear samples were initially cultivated in the lab on several selective media. Transport media-filled sterile collection containers containing these samples were brought to the lab.

Results:  According to the study's findings, E. coli was found in 27.10% of the burns and wounds samples. According to the study's findings, the majority of patients with E. coli infections (71.43 percent) were females, while only 28.57 percent were males. According to the study's findings, 28.57 percent of patients diagnosed with E. coli infections were between the ages of 31 and 40. The investigation also indicated that all of the sputum samples containing E. coli isolates were from patients above the age of 40. Furthermore, 45 percent of urine samples were collected from patients aged 31 to 40, and 42.86 percent of patients had wound infections. When examined using the MTP technique, fifty percent of the E. coli isolates tested positive for being potent biofilm producers, according to the study's findings. The DNA of 12 distinct E. coli bacterial isolates was isolated and purified using a genomic DNA purification kit. The bacteria were cultured on chromogenic agar medium to produce these E. coli isolates. The results were detected using electrophoresis on agarose gel at a concentration of 1.5 percent. The gel was then exposed to ultraviolet light, which revealed the DNA as compact bands. The virulence gene was found in 95.24 percent of the E. coli isolates taken from burn and wound sites, according to the study's findings. The majority of E. coli isolates tested positive for amikacin, imipenem, and gentamycin, according to the study's findings. The majority of E. coli isolates, on the other hand, were resistant to the medications amoxicillin, levofloxacin, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, pefloxacin, cefepime, and ampicillin.

Authors: Hammudi Riyam Adnan
Published: December 2023

CAP is a form of plasma with a temperature below 104°F at the application site. There are a variety of techniques for producing CAP, including Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet, Dielectric Barrier Discharge, and plasma needle and pencil. Multiple gases can produce CAP, including Helium, Heliox, Nitrogen, Argon, and air. Due to CAP's ability to deactivate organisms, cause cell separation, and kill cancer cells, researchers are interested in identifying dental and oncological applications for the compound. CAP is an ionized gas at 25 Co; it produces ROS and RNS due to several factors such as U.V., ray, heat, and power electric effects. Plasma is a matter at (fourth state) formed at low pressure or high temperature. Often, it is described as an ionized gas produced by the polyatomic fragmentation or the subtraction of electrons from monatomic gas shells. CAP has an antitumor effect. The current study aims to shed light on CAP technology, its definition, types, general applications, and their applications in treating human cancer. CAP was effective in treating cancer and eliminating tumor cells. CAP may have a place in the therapy of cancer. CAP used for cancer therapy has many advantages as a therapeutic method due to its effects of high selectivity, non-toxicity, combination potential, and adaptability. CAP eradicates cancer cells and uses this technique as a clinical therapeutic option that is effective and safe.

As time goes by and the development of law in Indonesia, the trademark has become a symbol that has been integrated in the life of society. Given the importance of a brand, the brand must get a protection from each country. Protection of a trademark in Indonesia is regulated in Act No. 20 Year 2016 on Trademarks and Geographical Indications, one of the materials regulated in the Act is about the settlement of trademark disputes. The settlement of trademark disputes is resolved by two judicial bodies, namely the Commercial Court and the State Administrative Court. This research uses a normative juridical approach method with descriptive analytical analysis of legal materials. The results of this study found that the authority of the State Administrative Court (PTUN) is to examine, decide and resolve State Administrative disputes (TUN) in a dispute arising in the field of State Administrative law (TUN) between persons or civil law entities (members of the public) with agencies or TUN officials (government) within the scope of the central government also includes local government as a result of the issuance of a TUN decision (beschikking). State Administrative Court has a very important role in resolving trademark disputes on the basis of registered trademark owners object to the decision to remove the registered trademark on the initiative of the Minister.

Published: December 2023

Extensive research has been conducted on a modeling approach that contributes to predicting the critical temperature of Yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) materials. Statistical significance of differences in modeling approaches requires studies that can reliably distinguish between systematic approach effects and errors resulting from modeling approach variation. In this work, we introduce analysis of variance (ANOVA) to assess the statistical significance of differences in modeling approach variation. Comparisons of obtained results with YBCO modeling approach variation data of support vector machine (SVM) and linear regression with natural logarithm transformation (LRNLT) were presented.
Changes of the acoustic startle reflex in rats with radiation-induced hippocampal lesion

Published: December 2023

The main question of the study was: to what extent does a neonatal radiation-induced hippocampal lesion lead to emotional changes in adulthood? Acoustic startle response (ASR) was studied in two groups of adult rats. The rats from the first group (14 animals) were exposed to neonatal x-ray irradiation. Their ASR were compared with those from the 10 intact rats that formed a control group. The ASR was tested during two sessions with different illumination of the acoustic chamber. During the first session the rats were tested in the darkness while during the second test the acoustic chamber was illuminated with a 15 W bulb. Irradiation resulted in a significant reduction of granule cells of the hippocampus (about 55%). The lesion resulted in emotional and behavioral changes evidenced by modification of the ASR. The irradiated rats exhibited a significantly increased amplitude of the startle response. In contrast to the light condition, the darkness context caused a decline of the ASR amplitude in the control group and failed to elicit significant changes in the lesioned animals. The results support the hypothesis that hippocampal lesions disrupt motor inhibition.
Augmentation of ventral tegmental area stimulation-induced feeding by both stimulation and lesion of the contralateral ventral tegmental area in the rat
Authors: Maliszewska-Ścisło Maria , Trojniar Weronika
Published: December 2023

Unilateral lesions of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) facilitate behavioral responses (feeding and exploration) induced by electrical stimulation of the VTA in the contralateral hemisphere. It was hypothesized that this facilitation may result from a lesion-induced compensatory increase in dopamine transmission in the intact hemisphere. In the present study we tested on the functional level the hypothesis that the activity of bilateral mesocorticolimbic systems is inversely related. For this purpose we compared the effect of unilateral subthreshold activation with the effect of subsequent unilateral lesion of VTA on feeding response evoked by electrical stimulation of the contralateral VTA. In male Wistar rats implanted with bilateral VTA electrodes stimulation-induced feeding was tested in a latency to feed-stimulation frequency curve-shift paradigm. One electrode was used for induction of feeding reaction and the other electrode was used for concurrent stimulation (with the subthreshold current) and subsequent electrolytic lesioning of the contralateral VTA. It was found that both contralateral stimulation and subsequent lesion performed through the same electrode facilitated a feeding response that manifested as a decrease in the reaction's threshold and a leftward shift of the latency-frequency curve. The paradoxical similarity of the effects of the stimulation and lesion is discussed in terms of functional organization of the mesocorticolimbic system and adaptive changes in dopaminergic transmission.

Published: December 2023

Recent clinical and experimental studies suggest the effectiveness of lidocaine in blocking neuropathic pain. Because it has been demonstrated that the pathogenetic mechanisms of neuropathic pain involve morphological changes in afferent neuronal terminals onto spinal cord, we examined the effects of lidocaine on neurite growth in isolated mouse dorsal root ganglion cells in culture. Incubation for 2–42 h with various concentrations of lidocaine (0.006 mM, 0.6 mM, and 30 mM) reduced the number of cells exhibiting neurites. The effects were time- and dose-dependent. Lidocaine therefore may exert its pharmacological effect, at least in part, by changing neuronal structures derived from sensory neurons.
Integration of low-frequency sleep oscillations in corticothalamic networks
Authors: Amzica Florin , Steriade Mircea
Published: December 2023

The corticothalamic system acts as a complex network in promoting the various oscillatory patterns (slow oscillation, spindles, delta) that characterize the state of quiet sleep. Local synchronizing mechanisms of any of the above-mentioned oscillations occur at the site of their genesis, thalamic or cortical. These mechanisms are assisted by the wide-range, synchronized occurrence of the cortical slow oscillation, which finally produces the coalesced picture of slow-wave sleep EEG. Multisite, simultaneous intracellular and field potential recordings in cat, as well as EEG recordings in human were performed in order to assess the state of synchrony and the propagation of various sleep rhythms in the corticothalamic network.
Physiological basis of pathophysiological brain rhythms
Authors: Witte Otto
Published: December 2023

Focal epilepsy may be induced acutely in the brain in vivo by measures which reduce inhibition or enhance excitation. Athough the various models involve different mechanisms causing the epilepsy, their epileptiform discharge patterns vary only little. Intracellular analyses in vivo and in vitro reveal that the cellular hallmark of epileptic discharge, the paroxysmal depolarization shift, is followed by a giant hyperpolarization. The latter is comprised of several, overlapping, components with different durations, including calcium dependent potassium currents and GABA dependent inhibitions. Relative reduction of one inhibitory component is compensated by other inhibitory components. In epilepsy caused by reduction of GABAergic inhibition, the absolute duration and amplitude of GABAergic inhibition may even be increased in comparison to the responses following afferent stimulation under control conditions since the excitatory drive of the paroxysmal discharges on the interneurons is strongly increased. In some interictal discharge patterns, the enhanced inhibitions within the focus determine the refractory periods of the focus. The latter is paced by neurons from the perifocal area which show a shorter inibition associated with the interictal epileptic event. The discharge pattern of the focus may switch to other patterns, either spontaneously, or as entrained by external stimulation. Such changes are caused e.g. by progressive potassium accumulations in the extracellular space with critically small intervals of the epileptic events. It is concluded that the epileptiform discharge patterns reflect intrinsic properties of the brain, and do not very well reflect the mechanism of action of the epileptogenic model. The brain is thus equipped with inherent mechanisms which favor rhythmic epileptiform discharges under certain conditions.
