Published: June 2023

Maize genetic diversity is utmost to develop new varieties conferred with favorable agronomic traits. Landraces are priceless resources that can serve to strengthen crop breeding programs. Hence, this study aimed to characterize 19 Sri Lankan maize landraces and one elite commercial variety Bhadra using SSR markers linked with insect-resistant traits. Using established procedures, genomic DNA extraction was done from immature maize leaves and PCR was performed utilizing bnlg1017, bnlg339, umc1021, umc1187, bnlg1346, bnlg1588, bnlg1556, umc1178, nc134, umc1688 and umc1045 primers. GenAlex and DARwin software were used for the data analysis. According to the results, a sum of 77 alleles was amplified with the maximum number of observed (13) and effective (11.28) alleles for bnlg1588. The highest gene diversity and PIC values were recorded in bnlg1588 (0.911 and 0.904 respectively), while the lowest was in umc1045 (0.640 and 0.581 respectively). Out of the total SSR primers used, bnlg1588, bnlg339, bnlg1346, and bnlg1017 linked with FAW-resistant traits were found to be more informative based on their genetic diversity parameters. The accessions SEU7, SEU11, SEU16, and SEU20 showed more genetic diversity compared to Bhadra, whereas SEU17 showed the lowest diversity. The dendrogram divided the 20 maize accessions into two main clusters with the mean similarity of 0.752. Similarly, the principle coordinate analysis explained 40.63 % of the genetic variation and grouped the maize accessions into two. Considering the genetic diversity parameters, the accessions SEU6 and SEU7 from cluster I and SEU9, SEU11, SEU16, and SEU20 from cluster II could be utilized for strategic maize breeding programs in Sri Lanka.

Background: The association between chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains controversial, and whether the cause is related to the different phases of chronic HBV infection remains unclear. Methods: A large cross-sectional study was performed to show the prevalence of reduced renal function during chronic HBV infection in adults from 7 multi-centers of Shenzhen City in China. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was used to evaluate the effect of HBV infection on the risk of renal impairment. Results: 33.04% HBsAg (+) patients had eGFR < 90, while patients without HBV exposure, 32.73% had eGFR < 90, showing no significant difference. There was no significant difference between those with elevated and normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) groups. Moreover, according to stratified statistics of different phases of the disease, liver cirrhosis, especially decompensated liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) showed a significant decrease in renal function compared with CBH (P = 0). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that liver disease different phases independently associated with reduced renal function. Conclusion: During the early CHB phase of chronic HBV infection (either elevated ALT or normal) did not increase the risk of renal dysfunction compares no exposure to HBV. However, when CHB progress to end-stage liver disease were associated with reduced kidney function. Additionally, Hoek formula should be recommended for patients with end-stage liver disease.
Blockchain-Based Approach for Tracking Global Criminals
Authors: Karambe Anand
Published: June 2023

Blockchain is the latest technology, which is now widely used in various fields due to its benefits such as higher tamper-proof security. Each transaction is stored in an immutable distributed ledger on each blockchain node. Criminal records are confidential and should be kept safe from hackers and intruders. Law enforcement agencies or investigative agencies can use these security recordings to analyze and detect criminal activity. Due to the lack of a global online system, Investigative agencies are having difficulty locating and researching the past of anonymous foreign criminal who is committing crimes abroad. This problem will only be solved if investigative agencies have a common global criminal database and applications to extract information. Investigation agencies, Copes, and other organizations can access global crime data using this technology on the distributed node of the blockchain in their nation. Authorities can instantly and efficiently access global criminal histories from local blockchain databases and identify the names and details of anonymous individuals in response to any foreigners suspected of engaging in unsocial activities in their country of origin. This will reduce the time and process of gathering information from the country where the suspect is located. The system would eliminate the possibility of falsification and tamper with criminal records. Key Words: Blockchain, light, Global Criminal, Criminal information

Authors: Manna Animesh
Published: June 2023

The article examines the phenomenon of witchcraft in medieval Europe, focusing on the role of ecstasy as a key element of the witch’s experience. It shows how witchcraft was conceived as a heretical and demonic activity that involved flying through the air, having sex with devils, and joining in night-time gatherings. It also analyses the historical and religious factors that influenced the formation and expression of witchcraft beliefs, such as the impact of classical mythology, folkloric traditions, Christian theology, and popular superstition. Moreover, it investigates the legal and theological reactions to the alleged danger of witchcraft, such as the papal bull of 1484 that authorized the persecution of witches, the influential treatise Malleus Maleficarum that established the witch stereotype, and the various trials and executions that occurred across Europe. The article uses various types of evidence, such as literary works, court documents, and theological writings, to demonstrate the richness and diversity of medieval witchcraft conceptions and discourses. It also explores different regional and temporal variations of witchcraft, such as the differences between Germanic and Latin cultures, or between early and late medieval periods. The article aims to provide a comprehensive and nuanced overview of witchcraft in medieval Europe, as well as to highlight its relevance for understanding the social and psychological dynamics of pre-modern societies.

GIS-remote sensing-based village-level hydrological balance approach for agricultural water planning
Authors: SAREN Sambhunath , DAS Pinakesh , PANDA Subhabrata
Published: June 2023

Ensuring food security through the increase in food production can be realised by converting agricultural fallow lands into cultivable ones and assuring irrigations in three crop seasons in all agricultural lands. That can be done through a village (i.e., mouza) level water management planning through rainwater harvesting. This needs step by step procedures based on hydrologic balance for providing the best way of management of water resources to secure precious agricultural lands from man-made degradation. This study was conducted at a mouza Gohalura in the Red and Laterite Zone of West Bengal, India. In that village major crops grown were ‘Aman’ rice (A practices of Rice cultivation by transplanting in rainy season and harvested in early winter season) during the rainy (i.e., monsoon) season; Groundnut during Rabi under both rainfed and irrigated farming situations and ‘Boro’ rice (a practice of rice cultivation by transplanting in late winter and harvesting in early summer) in summer. The major problems in crop production in that village were some rainfed agricultural lands with erratic and uncertain rainfall of which about 26 percent (i.e., 464 mm) received during non-monsoon period (15 October to 7 June), and a high infiltration rate of soil. Shortfall in annual water balance of 248.13 mm could be managed through existing river lift irrigation from the adjoining river Dulung, a tributary of the Subarnarekha River. Application of GIS and remote sensing were useful in land use land cover classification, creation of a digital elevation model of the village and calculation of areas under individual classes of land. Creating and renovating water harvesting ponds in the mouza would facilitate multipurpose benefits for the farming community including agriculture in three crop seasons in all cultivable lands through such rational water management planning in that village. Following such village-wise water balance approach another 16.37 ha (i.e., agricultural fallow out of the total agricultural land area of 40.23 ha) i.e., about 69 per cent increase in irrigated area could be made possible. Such methodologies could be projected for other areas, and that could be followed in other areas also.

This research focuses on recent changes in air quality and uses a passive biomonitoring technique to estimate atmospheric metal deposition and its seasonal trend in Sphagnum sp., as well as its substrate, from Nainital, Bhimtal, and Mangoli of Uttarakhand, India. Bryophyte samples from the summer, winter and monsoon seasons were collected from equally spaced locations. Due to the large volume of travel, a high metal concentration was discovered in Nainital. The metal deposition loads were reported in the following order: Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd. Quantitative analysis of these elements in vegetative/plants and substrate/soil showed an increase in metallic content during summer. The results indicate this moss may serve as an important tool in estimation of both aerial pollution and mineral enrichment in soil.  Such research is vital since development is frequently accompanied by unfavourable changes in air quality and negative impacts of air pollution on human health, agricultural production, and natural ecosystems that need to be monitored and mitigated.

As educators, of course, they must be able to master technology, especially for the learning process for students. This ICT learning does not only exist in public schools, but also in elementary school By learning to use ICT, and educators who use it can also master it, learning will be easier for both educators themselves and students. The purpose of this research itself refers to how the use of ICT by educators in elementary school in order to implement the competency curriculum in elementary school. The research was conducted using in-depth interviews with educators at elementary school through the WhatsApp application with a qualitative method. The results of the research are that the use of ICT for educators is quite developed, even ICT is very helpful for educators in providing material that is easily understood by students. The use of ICT in elementary school is very beneficial for educators and for students, with ICT in learning it makes it very easy for students to understand the material provided, moreover students are very happy with things that attract their attention so that the material provided will be easier to understand. The limitations of this research are that the researcher did not make a report on what percentage of educators can use ICT, as well as the extent to which educators and researchers have only studied one elementary school. Therefore, it is hoped that future researchers can conduct better and more complete research

Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND: Early identification of TB cases, followed by treatment to completion, are essential for controlling and preventing the disease. Previous studies have found some factors associated with both loss to follow-up (LTFU) and patient delay. We aim to build a causal model
to investigate the association between TB patient delay and LTFU.METHODS: Pulmonary TB cases were identified using the national surveillance system in Portugal between 2008 and 2017. A directed acyclic graph was used to identify the minimal set of variables to adjust for when studying
the association between delay (exposure) and LTFU (outcome). Crude and adjusted hazard were estimated using Cox regression.RESULTS: Nearly 4% of the patients did not follow up treatment. There was no association between patient delay and LTFU, even after adjustment with the minimal
set of covariates. Factors associated with a higher risk of LTFU were being younger, being unemployed, living in urban areas, having HIV and the abuse of alcohol and drugs.CONCLUSION: Patient delay was not associated with LTFU, while social conditions were. Future research should
investigate the underlying reasons why patients discontinue TB treatment and use these findings to develop targeted interventions that can support patients in completing their treatment regimen.
