Morphological features of the innervation of the rat adrenal gland adipose tissue
Authors: Chumasov Evgenii I. , Petrova Elena S. , Korzhevskii Dmitriy E.
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: The relevance of studying adipose tissue is due to a lack of understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of obesity and a lack of research into the endocrine function of adipose tissue. The structure, functions, and innervation characteristics of white and brown adipose tissues of the adrenal gland have received the least attention.
AIM: To determine the structure and innervation of rat adrenal adipose tissue using neuroimmunohistochemical markers.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The innervation of the rat adrenal gland’s adipose tissue was examined using immunohistochemical reactions for PGP 9.5 protein, tyrosine hydroxylase, and synaptophysin conducted on paraffin sections (n=10).
RESULTS: Unmyelinated nerve fibers and catecholaminergic and cholinergic nerve terminal apparatuses were found in the white and brown adipose tissues of the rat adrenal gland. Parasympathetic and sympathetic postganglionic nerve fibers enter adipose tissue through arterial vessels. Remakov’s varicose axons intensely branch and form passant terminal synaptic networks, which are essential in the innervation of adipocytes in white and brown adipose tissues. Brown and mixed adipose tissues contain the most sympathetic and parasympathetic synaptic structures. Sympathetic fibers are closely connected to the arterial wall and contact brown adipocytes. Varicose axons are found in white adipose tissue, primarily surrounding arterial vessels and rarely between differentiated ring-shaped adipocytes.
CONCLUSIONS: The observed differences in sympathetic innervation of white and brown adipose tissues are because brown adipose tissue cells, unlike white adipocytes, perform a secretory function. They impact corticosteroid synthesis by the adrenal gland by producing adipokines. The findings suggest that the sympathetic nervous system controls this process.

Authors: Konieczna Iwona
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Recently, there has been a change in the perception of education of children with chronic illnesses in the medical facility. The researcher conducted an extensive analysis of literature as well as legal acts allowing to show key moments for the education of students with chronic disease in Poland, various positions, theories, concepts and ideas that can be attributed to the status of a paradigm. Research Aim: The aim of this article is to outline the historical context of paradigm shifts and their determinants in the field of educating children with chronic illnesses in a medical facility situated in Poland. The examination of specific pedagogical approaches, as outlined in the literature, pertains to pivotal shifts in the education of children with chronic illnesses within medical institutions in Poland, as well as paradigmatic changes in therapeutic pedagogy. Evidence-based Facts: The ongoing discussions relate to how to care for and educate a child with chronic illness and point to significant changes in this regard. Currently changing paradigms within the theory, methodology and conducted research on chronic diseases determine the practice of educational activities towards children with chronic illnesses. The development of therapeutic pedagogy, as is also the case in other areas related to the functioning of people with disease, is now driven mainly by the humanist paradigm. Summary: The results of the analysis provide valuable insights and improve comprehension of the educational situation of students who suffer from a chronic illness. Moreover, the theoretical analyses conducted suggest that the educational paradigm offered to students in medical institutions, based on the operational theories and concepts, requires alterations that prioritize subjectivity, autonomy, self-sufficiency, and self-governance.
Emotions and Needs in the School Space of 10-year-Old Children - Psychological and Linguistic Analysis of Personal Narratives in the Light of the GLOBAL TALES Protocol
Authors: Dłużniewska Agnieszka , Kuracki Kamil
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Children's personal narratives are an important source of knowledge about experiences generating both positive and negative emotions, as well as about revealed psychological needs. The Global Tales protocol used in the study allows e.g. to identify those that directly relate to functioning in the school environment. Research Aim: The aim of the research was to identify significant situations in the narratives of 10-year-old children in response to the six prompts of the Global Tales protocol, and to identify linguistic means of expressing emotions and psychological needs in the context of telling about experiences related to school functioning of the surveyed children. Method: Twenty-five 10-year-old children without diagnosed developmental dysfunctions took part in the study conducted using the Global Tales protocol. After the children's responses were transcribed, a qualitative and quantitative analysis was carried out to identify significant situations generating positive and negative emotions and to recognize the linguistic means of expressing emotions and psychological needs in children's narratives. Results: The study made it possible to identify what significant experiences revealed in children's narratives generate positive and negative emotions, what part of them relate to the school environment and functioning as a student, how children construct narratives about situations that are significant in the linguistic layer, including in the context of the use of universal units of natural language, and what psychological needs are revealed in children's statements about experiences related to events related to the school environment. Conclusions: The research will complete an important area of knowledge about children's use of language to express emotions and needs related to significant situations in school functioning. The Global Tales protocol can be used as a tool for the psychological-linguistic analysis of children's narratives in late school age.
Working in Kindergarten through the Eyes of Preschool Education Teachers – Motives for Choosing the Profession, Daily Experiences, Needs
Authors: Bartoszewicz Magdalena
Published: December 2023

Introduction: The work of teachers is of social importance, especially in the field of pre-school education. Teachers play a key role in shaping the development and skills of the youngest children, supporting their social, emotional and cognitive abilities. A good teacher is not only an expert in his or her field, but also a responsible person who promotes values and acts as a guide in the learning process. Unfortunately, the teaching profession is often portrayed incorrectly, leading to an underestimation of its prestige andinacurate perception of its role, negatively affecting the authority of teachers. Research objective: The aim of the study was to find out the motives for choosing the profession of preschool education teacher and to recognize the daily experiences of female preschool education teachers in their preschool work. Research method: The research was conducted in a qualitative stream, using an in-depth interview - on a group of six female pre-service education teachers. Results: The analysis of the survey results provided insights into the motives for choosing the teaching profession and important areas of daily work in the kindergarten, as well as key challenges. Conclusions: The results of the study lead to the conclusion that working in the teaching profession is a job of choice. On the other hand, the observed challenges in the work of female pre-service teachers lead to feelings of lower job satisfaction. The fact that the teaching profession is increasingly undervalued socially also contributes to this.
Teachers’ Resilience in Poland – the Role of Sociodemographic and Professional Factors
Authors: Boczkowska Magdalena Anna
Published: December 2023

Introduction Teacher resilience is the dynamic interaction between personal, social and physical resources to counteract risk factors arising in the school context by maximising protective resources. Research Aim The aim of the present study is to verify whether sociodemographic and professional variables significantly differentiate teachers' levels of resilience. Method The study included 752 teachers of different stages of education. To measure resilience, the Teachers' Resilience Scale by M. Platsidou and A. Danilidou in the Polish adaptation by M. Boczkowska was used. Results The teachers studied recorded the highest mean scores on the Family cohesion factor, while the lowest on the Social competence and peer support factor. The analyses showed that sociodemographic variables (gender, age, place of residence and marital status) significantly differentiate the participants' level of resilience (total score and/or scores on individual subscales). Also, professional variables (place of work, length of service, level of professional promotion) are factors that significantly differentiate the resilience of the teachers studied. Conclusion The results add to the knowledge of the concept of resilience in a group of teachers and can be considered in the design of activities aimed at enhancing their ability to adapt positively in the face of experiencing difficult, stressful or traumatic events.
Modelo de Predicción Material Particulado (PM2.5) en la ciudad de Bogotá
Authors: Salas Nuñez Luis Fernando
Published: December 2023

Air pollution has been widely studied due to the great threat it poses to both the environment and human health. Mainly, the big cities have been affected by the problem of air pollution due to various factors, such as industrialization and overpopulation. The latter have a direct implication in the atmosphere by increasing greenhouse gas emissions and smog, which contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer. Air pollution brings serious implications for human health, directly affecting the respiratory system and generating consequences such as throat irritation, worsening conditions such as asthma, bronchitis and even permanent lung damage. However, considering the great importance of detecting polluting agents, such as particulate matter (PM), it is possible to propose alternatives to predict their appearance in a certain location. In this study, we propose the use of computational tools and multiple linear regression to predict the behavior of PM2.5 particulate matter from the Kennedy locality, Bogotá. This prediction was made with the implementation of an algorithm, which is based on historical data of particulate matter suspended in the air, Ozone, NO, CO, wind direction and speed during the year 2018. The analyzes carried out were compared with real data, with the purpose of determining the veracity of the predictions made by the algorithm. The results revealed the level of PM2.5 is a consequence of CO emissions, which is related to vehicle traffic, since they are the largest producers of this gas. In addition, the prediction of PM2.5 values ​​showed a mean error of 5.6 PM2.5, which means that the model achieves an accurate prediction of air quality. Considering these results, this study represents a promising alternative for the prediction of particulate matter, in such a way that action routes can be established to mitigate the damage caused by these pollutants in the environment.

Published: December 2023

Background: CT Guided lung biopsy is a common procedure in our department and pneumothorax is one of its commonest complications. To study the incidence of pneumothorax after CT guided lung biopsy and the various factors associated with the risk of developing pneumothorax after biopsy.
Materials and Methods: Our study was a retrospective observational study. We analyzed 360 cases of lung biopsy performed using 18G Coaxial needle for assessing the incidence of post- procedure pneumothorax. The risk factors for pneumothorax were evaluated by univariate analysis, followed by multivariate logistic regression analysis to know the independent risk factors of pneumothorax.
Results: The incidence of pneumothorax in our study was 41.9% (151/360 cases). On univariate analysis, we identified the following as risk factors of post-procedure pneumothorax: the presence of emphysema, smaller lesion size, Greater lesion depth, Lateral position, multiple passes and acute angulation of needle trajectory. On multivariate logistic regression analysis these were also revealed to be independent risk factors of post-procedure pneumothorax.
Conclusion: Independent risk factors of post procedure pneumothorax are the presence of emphysema, smaller lesion size, greater lesion depth, Lateral position, multiple passes and acute angulation of needle trajectory. Of these lateral position is a novel predictor of pneumothorax that has been scarcely mentioned in literature. As such the radiologist should be prepared for managing pneumothorax in cases with one or more of these risk factors

Published: December 2023

Background: Vanadium is an essential dietary microelement that plays a key role in metabolic pathways and has anti-neoplastic effects. In this regard, vanadium oxide 3-methoxy salen complex was produced and its anticancer effects were evaluated against HeLa and McCoy cell lines.
Methods: Schiff bases produced from equivalents of Vanadyl acetylacetonate [VO(acac)2] in methanol were used to make a vanadium oxide 3-methoxy salen complex. Then, The antioxidant property of compound, cell viability and cytotoxicity assay, DNA fragmentation analysis and determination of the apoptosis pathway genes were evaluated.
Results: The result showed that the compound with an RC50 value of 126.3 µM demonstrated considerable free radical scavenging activity. The combination strongly suppressed the viability and proliferation of HeLa and McCoy cell lines in a dose-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 213 µM and 175 µM, respectively. When the viability and cytotoxicity values of the treated cells were compared, it was discovered that the cells had died of apoptosis, which was validated by DNA fragmentation analysis. Capspase 3, Bcl2 antagonist/killer, and Bcl2 associated X protein (Bax) gene expression levels all increased significantly in a quantitative investigation of apoptotic pathway genes, with 2-CT values of 2.36, 2.63, and 3.18, respectively.
Conclusion: In HeLa and McCoy malignant cell lines, lower quantities of the complex caused programmed cell death. This potential of complex can be used in cancer chemoprevention and cancer therapy.

Authors: Triana Rina , Sukmawati Indriyanti Rafi , Syamsunarno Mas Rizky Anggun Adipurna , Lestari Keri
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common metabolic disorder associated with oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms related to the role of nuclear factor erythroid 2 (Nrf2), a master regulator of cellular antioxidant defenses, in individuals with T2DM, is essential. Therefore, in-depth investigation regarding the associations between Nrf2 levels, and metabolic parameters, such as waist circumference, fasting glucose levels, HbA1C, and serum inflammatory markers expressions is needed to elucidate the mechanisms driving T2DM and its metabolic disturbances.METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study including 90 T2DM and 25 healthy subjects. Nrf2 level; serum inflammatory markers levels, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, interferon (IFN)-α2, IFN-g, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-17A, IL-18 and IL-23; as well as waist circumference; fasting glucose levels; and HbA1C were measured. Nrf2 concentrations in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), while serum inflammatory markers concentrations were quantified with flowcytometry.RESULTS: Nrf2, TNF-α, and IL-17A levels were significantly higher in the T2DM group, while IL-1β, IFN-α 2, IL-10, IL-12p70, and IL-23 levels were elevated in healthy controls Nrf2 exhibited positive correlations with waist circumference, fasting glucose, HbA1C, and TNF-α. Conversely, an inverse correlation of Nrf2 was observed with IL-1β, IL-12p70 and IL-17A.CONCLUSION: Correlations between Nrf2 and metabolic clinical parameters suggest its role in regulating glucose metabolism and adiposity. Elevated Nrf2 levels observed in T2DM patients may present novel therapeutic avenues for enhancing endogenous antioxidant defenses.KEYWORDS: type 2 diabetes mellitus, Nrf2, oxidative stress, inflammation, metabolic regulation, therapeutic strategies

Authors: Grzesiak Sebastian Szymon
Published: December 2023

The automotive market is constantly developing and employing innovative technologies. The new trend of electromobility affects the whole world and is part of the transformation of the economy. Also, the European Union takes significant steps to support the development of the electric sector of the automotive market. This is confirmed by the signed declaration in Glasgow, which leads towards a ban on the sale of cars with combustion engines by 2035. Due to the initiatives taken by international institutions to green all processes in the economy and the defined legal framework, these activities have an influence on other market participants. The problem identified in this article is the actual impact of implemented solutions concerning the type of engine used in cars offered for sale in Poland. The aim of the article is accompanied by a research question, is the electric vehicle less harmful to the environment? The paper compares cars of the same producer, class and type with petrol, diesel, hybrid (petrol-electric) and electric engines in terms of the environmental impact parameters described in the methodology. The research method is a comparative analysis of SUVs of urban type. As a result of the research, it has been determined that a vehicle with an electric engine emits the least amount of carbon dioxide and is the most environmentally friendly solution.
Green public procurement and sustainable development: the case of social welfare centres from the Łódź Province in Poland
Authors: Szydłowski Cezary
Published: December 2023

The aim of the article is to discuss the issue of green public procurement in the context of public contract award procedures applied by social welfare centres from the Łódź Province (voivodeship) in Poland. The topic is set against the backdrop of the existing theories of green public procurement, a circular economy and sustainable development. The author applies the case study method, analytical methods, inference-based methods, source document study and literature review.

The author explores the hypothesis that social welfare centres in the Łódź Province are reluctant to apply the green public procurement (GPP) approach or use environmental (GPP) criteria to evaluate tenders submitted by economic operators under the public procurement procedure. The study focuses on notices published by social welfare centres from the Łódź Province in the Public Procurement Bulletin from 1 January 2023 to 30 September 2023.

The examination of 20 contract award procedures revealed that environmental aspects were mentioned in 2 tenders. It is noteworthy that both tenders referred to passenger transport services procured by the same social welfare centre. The results of the analysis corroborate the hypothesis that GPP was used to a limited extent. Therefore, public authorities should undertake measures to promote green public procurement as compatible with the concept of sustainable development.
МОДЕЛИРОВАНИЕ СИЛЬНОТОЧНОГО НЕСАМОСТОЯТЕЛЬНОГО ТЛЕЮЩЕГО РАЗРЯДА С ПОЛЫМ КАТОДОМ ПРИ НИЗКОМ ДАВЛЕНИИ

Published: December 2023

Приведены результаты теоретического и компьютерного моделирования сильноточного несамостоятельного тлеющего разряда низкого давления в плазменном источнике. Аналитическая модель отражает основные закономерности и показывает взаимосвязь параметров плазмы в полом катоде. Продемонстрировано применение дрейфово-диффузионного представления для численного моделирования генерации плазмы низкого давления в плазменном катоде источника электронов на основе дугового разряда и в полом катоде несамостоятельного тлеющего разряда. Показано, что распределение плотности эмиссионной плазмы источника электронного тока управляется расположенным внутри него перераспределяющим электродом, а распределение плотности плазмы тлеющего разряда существенно зависит от геометрического фактора (форма катода, анода, эмиссионная поверхность источника электронов) и от расположения источника электронного тока. Согласие результатов компьютерного моделирования с экспериментами указывает на возможность применения математического моделирования при оптимизации имеющихся и разработке новых плазменных источников с наименьшей степенью неоднородности распределения плазмы основного (тлеющего) разряда в разрядной катодной полости, что чрезвычайно важно для технологического применения большеобъемных полых катодов (более 0,2 м3) плазменных источников.
La pasión útil. Muerte y sentido de la vida en Miguel de Unamuno
Authors: Gutiérrez Pozo Antonio
Published: December 2023

La actitud burguesa ante la muerte es posponerla y olvidarla. El sentido de la existencia, entonces, es alargar la vida todo lo posible. Heidegger entiende la muerte como la posibilidad más auténtica del ser humano: el ser humano está ahí para morir. En Unamuno, el querer vivir del hambre de inmortalidad se funda sobre la conciencia del tener que morir; y, a su vez, el tener que morir implica el hambre de inmortalidad. Este es el sentimiento trágico de la vida. La muerte absoluta implica la falta completa de sentido. Así, el ser humano sería una pasión inútil. En el hambre de inmortalidad entonces hay una profunda afirmación del sentido de la vida como lucha por el sentido. Aunque la nada nos espere, hagamos que sea una injusticia, es decir, actúa de modo que no merezcas morir, que merezcas la eternidad y el sentido. Contra el nihilismo metafísico de Mefistófeles, así se fundamenta la esperanza. Por esto, la pasión es útil, porque solo podemos relacionarnos con la eternidad y el sentido mereciéndolos.
urbanisme
Authors: Ratouis Olivier
Published: December 2023

L’historienne des idées et philosophe Françoise Choay a contribué à structurer le champ intellectuel de l’urbanisme. L’article revient sur la notion de modèle telle que celle-ci a été mobilisée dans deux ouvrages en particulier : L’urbanisme : utopies et réalités (1965) et La règle et le modèle (1980), compris à la fois comme les jalons d’une pensée et des approches complémentaires. Après une clarification du concept de modèle entendu comme image de la ville future, il apparaît que celui-ci se voit chez Choay durablement rapproché de celui d’utopie. L’article se demande si une conception trop fermée de l’un et de l’autre comme se destinant à être appliqués n’est pas une cause, après celui de leur important succès, de la moindre pertinence de leur valeur pratique, et de leur faible applicabilité aux théories plus récentes. Une thématique seconde dans le développement de l’œuvre, la temporalité, nourrit un nouvel intérêt.

The Problem of Ensuring Equality Before the Law at Relief of Liability when Qualifying an Administrative Offense as Insignificant
Authors: Potapov P. N.
Published: December 2023

The present paper considers the problem of ensuring compliance with the principle of equality of all before the law when applying the institute of insignificance to the committed administrative offense. The Author examines the chronology of the appearance of the norm of insignificance in the legislation of Russia. He compares procedural legislation in cases of administrative offenses of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Republic of Belarus in the context of the institute of insignificance. Study of Article 2.9 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses, judicial acts of the courts of the first and subsequent instances, the analysis of scientific works devoted to the problem of the application of the institute of insignificance allow studying the problem of the application of the institute of insignificance to all material norms establishing administrative responsibility under Article 2.9 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses. In the aspect of the principle of equality of all people and citizens before the law, questions are raised about the validity of assigning the status of “exceptional” to the norm under study. Comparison of the practice of application of Article 2.9 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offences by courts of general jurisdiction and arbitration courts clearly demonstrates the application of the institute of insignificance in the judicial process. The problem of the application of Article 2.9 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation by authorized executive authorities in the administrative process is also considered in this paper. Arguments against the existence of a discretionary power in the institute of insignificance are given. The constitutional norms violated by the presence of discretionary authority in the institute of insignificance are called. The constitutional rights of delinquents violated due to the existence of discretionary powers in the institute of insignificance are named. The Author discusses the possibility of changing the existing legislation in order to ensure compliance with the balance of interests of delinquents and other participants in the case of an administrative offense to increase the effectiveness of public prosecution and the preventive value of administrative responsibility. The Author proposes to state Article 2.9 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation in the wording that ensures the right of all delinquents to equality before the law and the court in order to ensure their constitutional rights, including to maintain the balance of interests of delinquents and other participants in the case of an administrative offense to increase the effectiveness of public prosecution and the preventive value of administrative responsibility.

Produk farmasetik atau obat-obatan telah tergolong dalam kebutuhan utama sehingga konsumsi obat di masyarakat meningkat. Namun, di lain sisi kepatuhan minum obat di masyarakat yang rendah menyebabkan akumulasi obat tidak terpakai di rumah tangga. Sejak tahun 2014, Ikatan Apoteker Indonesia (IAI) telah melaksanakan kampanye program Gerakan Nasional Keluarga Sadar Obat dengan jargon DAGUSIBU (Dapatkan, Gunakan, Simpan, dan Buang obat). Dalam program tersebut menjelaskan tentang tata cara pengelolaan obat dari pertama kali menerima obat hingga tidak digunakan atau dikonsumsi lagi dan akhirnya dibuang. Penelitian ini bertujuan memahami lebih lanjut bagaimana pengetahuan dan praktik masyarakat terkait cara mendapatkan, menggunakan, menyimpan, dan membuang sisa obat.

The elderly are at the highest risk for drug-related problems caused by age-related physiological changes, multiple chronic illnesses, polypharmacy, and poor drug management.  This study aims  to analyze the ability of elderly regarding drug management. This study used an observational research method with an elderly population in the East Surabaya area. The research instrument used was MedMaIDETM (Medication Management Instrument for Deficiencies in the Elderly), which can be used to measure ability in medication management in the elderly community who are undergoing self-medication with at least one medication.  Sampling was carried out  using  a non-random sampling method with a purposive sampling technique. The number of respondents obtained in this study were 100 elderly who live in the East Surabaya area. The inclusion criteria for research respondents were: (1) willing to be a respondent; (2) domiciled in the East Surabaya area; (3)  aged ≥ 60 years; (4) able to communicate in Indonesian; and (5) consuming at least one medicine. The variable studied was drug management skills in the elderly which includes knowledge of the medications aspect, knowledge on how to take the medication aspect, and knowledge on how to obtain the medication. The average MedMAIDE scores of respondents in the three domains with a total average value of 1.18 and a standard deviation of 0.10, meanings each elderly at least had one deficiency out of 13 maximun score of deficiencies. There were 70 respondents out of 100 respondents who had limitations in drug management with one deficiency score as the smallest score and the largest total deficiency score being 7. Meanwhile, 30 other respondents had a no deficiency. The most difficult tasks were identified the problems after taking the medication, fill a glass with water, sip enough water to swallow medication and identify if a refill exists on a prescription. The ability of elderly people in the East Surabaya area to manage their medicines was good. The elderly were able to recognize the drugs used, use the drugs correctly, and comply with drug administration.

Livestock production requires Sapudi rams, a breed native to Indonesia, to meet meat demand and food security. In artificial high-quality frozen semen is needed to spread Sapudi rams. To maximize the survival of spermatozoa during cryopreservation, semen should be stored in an extender. Green tea leaf extract (GTLE) and skim milk-goat egg yolk (SM-GEY) may be a good cryoprotectants due to their antioxidant properties. This study aimed to determine the effect of adding GTLE to the SM-GEY extender on the quality of Sapudi ram spermatozoa stored at 5°C. The fresh semen sample was divided into four different GTLE treatment groups, which each contained a 0.1 mL semen sample and a 25-mL extender of SM-GEY. Group T0: no GTLE added to SM-GEY; Groups T1, T2, and T3: 0.1 mL semen diluted in 25 mL SM-GEY with 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15 mg GTLE. Extended semen was then stored at 5°C, and its quality was evaluated daily for five days. The variables observed included spermatozoa motility, viability, and membrane integrity. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance followed by Duncan's test using Statistical Program and Service Solution version 23. The result of this study was that adding 0.05 mg GTLE to 25 mL of SM-GEY extender significantly maintained the spermatozoa motility, viability, and plasma membrane integrity of Sapudi ram spermatozoa for three days at 5°C (p <0.05). Therefore, it could be concluded that adding 0.05 mg of GTLE to the SM-GEY extender preserved Sapudi ram spermatozoa's motility, viability, and membrane integrity for three days at 5°C.

This research aims to determine reproductive data on Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus) in the ETC and ERU of Way Kambas National Park, Indonesia during 1988-2021. Data recorded from the elephant population at both locations (ETC and ERU) includes the number, gender of elephants, elephant calves, ages and birth dates. Calving intervals and service periods were calculated from calving records of cows with a minimum parity of two. Data collection produced data on 47 elephant calves from 13 female elephants with at least twice the parity and 12 primiparous cows. Elephant reproductive records at ETC and ERU were: age (37.44 ± 9.03 vs. 29.75 ± 3.30 years), parity (2.78 ± 1.09 vs. 2.50 ± 0.58), and age at first birth (18, 11 ± 3.92 vs. 17.75 ± 0.50 years). While the calving interval was 1857.56 ± 870.81 vs. 1833.00 ± 305.18 days, and service period respectively 1229.44 ± 846.18 vs. 1210.50 ± 283.59 days, respectively. It can be concluded that the calving interval and service period for captive elephants at ETC and ERU were not much different and were within the normal range. Young cows showed better reproductive efficiency than older cows. Monitoring calves is very important. Further assistance is needed to improve elephant mobile veterinary services, increase diagnostic laboratory capacity, and educate camp managers, veterinary assistants, and mahouts about elephant diseases, their monitoring and treatment. In addition, the use of reproductive technology such as monitoring ovulation using ultrasound and carrying out artificial insemination was expected to increase reproductive efficiency.

Introduction: Congenital aniridia is a bilateral iris aplasia or hypoplasia associated with other ocular disorders. The purpose of this case report is to describe the clinical manifestation of congenital aniridia in two members of one family. Case Presentation: The first patient (mother) is a 43-year-old and the second patient (daughter) is a 12-year-old. Both patients complained of blurred vision since childhood. The visual acuity of the first patient was a positive light perception on the right eye (RE) and no light perception on the left eye (LE); the visual acuity of the second patient was 1/60 on the RE and 3/32 on the LE. Both patients had horizontal nystagmus and increased intraocular pressure (IOP) (N+1 palpation) in both eyes. Anterior segment abnormalities of both patients include aniridia with iris rudimentary and superiorly subluxated lens. The first patient also had LE corneal leukoma and RE cataract. The second patient also had right and left eye corneal conjunctivalization. Fundus examination showed no fundus reflex on the first patient and tigroid retina with foveal hypoplasia on the second patient. Eye ultrasounds of both patients showed vitreous opacity. Conclusions: Congenital aniridia primarily originates from a mutation in the paired box gene-6 (PAX6) and is associated with other ocular anomalies such as nystagmus, amblyopia, keratopathies, cataract, lens luxation, glaucoma, fovea, optic nerve hypoplasia. Patients in this case showed similar conditions between mother and daughter, however, the mother's condition was more advanced and more degenerated than the daughter's condition.
