Published: September 2024

Aksi terorisme masuk kedalam extra ordinary crime karena telah membahayakan idiologi, keamanan, kedaulatan dan mempunyai tujuan tertentu dalam menghancurkan sebuah negara (perang militer). Dibutuhkan penanganan secara khusus, terarah, terencana dan berkesinambungan dari seluruh komponen negara termasuk dalam melibatkan TNI untuk memberantas tindak pidana terorisme dan dibutuhkan kerjasama antar lembaga – lembaga terkait serta seluruh komponen masyarakat untuk memberantasnya, jika ini terus menerus dibiarkan dikhawatirkan akan mengancam sistem pertahanan dan keamanan negara. Penulisan jurnal ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran TNI dalam menghadapi ancaman terorisme di Indonesia guna mendukung pertahanan negara, adapun metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan teknik analisa deskriptif dan literature review. Sumber data penulisan jurnal ini didapatkan melalui berbagai sumber meliputi buku, jurnal dan berita terkait. Hasil penulisan jurnal ini adalah saat ini peran TNI hanya sebagai garda pendukung jikalau aparat penegak hukum tidak mampu lagi mengatasi aksi terorisme tersebut, hal ini dikarenakan pemerintah melihat bahwa aksi terorisme merupakan masalah penegakan hukum sehingga harus ditangani oleh Kepolisian Republik Indonesia (Polri), bukan sebagai aksi pemberontakan yang harus ditangani oleh TNI. Sehingga harapannya dengan adanya aksi terorisme tersebut, pemerintah dapat juga mengedepankan peran TNI dalam menanganinya, mengingat bahwa terorisme mempunyai tujuan tertentu dalam menghancurkan sebuah negara (implementasi dari perang militer).

The impact of metal ion substitution on the characteristics of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles is investigated in this work. Sol-gel auto-combustion was used to insert copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn) into the spinel lattice. The goal of the study is to comprehend the effects of these substitutions (CuCoFe, NiCoFe, and ZnCoFe) on the magnetic, spectral, and structural properties of the resultant nanoparticles. For every synthetic sample, the successful development of a cubic spinel phase has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction examination. The estimated crystallographic size is roughly 25 nm. The spinel structure's octahedral and tetrahedral sites exhibit metal-oxygen vibrations, as shown by a peak seen at 433 cm⁻³ using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles replaced with Cu and Ni exhibit well-defined ferromagnetic behavior as revealed by magnetic characterisation. The Zn-substituted sample, on the other hand, displays a paramagnetic hysteresis loop. These findings, along with the results of the other characterization methods, strongly imply that copper, nickel, and zinc have successfully replaced cobalt ions in the octahedral positions of the cobalt ferrite lattice.

Many electronic applications are moving towards the flexible and wearable gadgets. In most of these electronic items, a flexible conducting substrate is used for supporting the thin film. A thin films quality is improved by the annealing process in which the grain boundaries fuses together to form a cohesive grain structure. Most of the flexible substrate available today lacks the heat resistance to withstand the annealing process. To address this issue, a neutral-solution soluble heat resistant NaCl substrate is developed by the recrystallization method. In this study, polycrystalline NaCl is recrystallized to a single plane (220) and demonstrated the transfer of ZnO and Mo thin films from polycrystalline NaCl to glass substrates.

Published: September 2024

Background:
Sudden death is defined as an unexpected death occurring with no observed antecedent clinical signs.
Aim:
The current study was performed to notice the tangible causes of sudden death among 51 out of 340 she-camels on a private farm in the eastern region of El Khafgi, Saudi Arabia.
Methods:
A retrospective cohort study design was conducted to investigate sudden death of camels through microscopic examination of fecal matter to identify the gastrointestinal parasites, analysis of whole blood thin films to diagnose blood parasites, blood culturing to recognize bacterial infection as Pasteurella multicida, and macroscopic postmortem examination to identify the gastrointestinal adult worm. The quantity and composition of feed were also analyzed. Afterward, a commercial multiscreen Ag-ELISA kit technique determined the toxins of Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens).
Results:
The results revealed that the incidence rate of sudden death was 15%. The sudden death occurred due to C. perfringens enterotoxins detected in the rumen, intestinal content, and intestinal wall. The enterotoxins and Alpha toxins were noticed, but the other toxin types, including Beta and Epsilon, could not be detected. All C. perfringens toxins were discovered to be negative in fecal matter. A significant association was reported between sudden death, she-camels age, and feeding habits as risk factors (P = 0.020 and 0.028, respectively). Risk factor assessment by relative risk (RR) revealed that the odds of RR of sudden death occurring among she-camelss aged over two years were higher than those less than two years (2.24 CI 95%, 1.093-4.591). Furthermore, the odds RR of sudden death occurring due to exposure of she-camels to a concentrated ratio of 18% were higher twice than those not exposed (2.346 CI 95%, 1.039-5.296).
Conclusion:
C. perfringens enterotoxaemia should be listed as a cause of sudden death in camels and the alteration in diet with 18% concentration feed changes the intestinal environment, which leads to C. perfringens proliferating and yielding potent toxins. More observations and interferences like regular immunization are recommended to reduce the disease and increase the awareness of the farmers of the importance of risk factors.

Authors: Elmeligy Abdelmenem , Ghania Ali , Fotouh Ahmed
Published: September 2024

Background:
Pigeon leukosis is primarily caused by avian leukosis virus subgroup A (ALV-A). It infects and transforms lymphoid cells, leading to the development of tumors in various lymphoid tissues and other organs especially the liver.
Aim:
This study was conducted to diagnose lymphoid leukosis in a naturally infected pigeon flock in Egypt.
Methods:
Tissue specimens from the liver, spleen, thymus, kidney, lung, proventriculus, gizzard, intestine, pancreas, heart, pectoral muscle, ovary, and testes were collected from infected birds for pathological and immunohistochemical examinations.
Results:
Clinical signs were generally non-specific and comprised weakness, dehydration, and emaciation. Gross lesions were mostly in the liver and spleen, in the form of minute white nodules scattered on the liver surface. Microscopic examination of the liver, spleen, and kidneys showed masses of uniform sizes and the presence of differentiated lymphoid cells. These cells appeared as large mononuclear cells with poorly defined cell membranes. Immunohistochemical investigation exhibited that the ALV-A positive indicators were chiefly accessible in the liver, ovary, spleen, and kidney.
Conclusion:
Lymphoid leukosis in pigeons could be provisionally diagnosed by a pathological picture of characteristic tumors and confirmed by immunoreactivity of viral antigens in different tissues.

Results:
Regarding the effect of breeds on blood hematology, significantly higher number (p < 0.01) of Mid cells were found in Hegazi (3.12±1.30×103/µL) and Cyprus (2.41±1.69×103/µL) when compared to other goat's breeds including Kurdi (2.28±0.95×103/µL), Shami (1.90±0.84×103/µL) and Mahali (1.37±0.88 ×103/µL). Moreover, the percentage of Mid cells was highest in Hegazi (22.34±9.40%), 11.40±4.34%), followed by Kurdi (17.71±8.16%), Cyprus (15.84±8.33%) Shami (13.38±5.76%) and lowest in Mahali (11.40±4.34%). There are significant differences (p < 0. 01) in hemoglobin (Hg), red blood cells (RBC), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCH), red cell width distribution-coefficient of variation (RDW-CV, %) and red cell distribution width-standard deviation (RDW-SD, fl) values among all different breeds of Libyan goats. The results of biochemistry displayed significant changes among the studied goats' breeds, where the highest serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT, U/L) activity was observed in Cyprus (17.81±7.95) and Shami (17.27±1.15) compared with Hegazi (15.31±6.13) and Mahali (14.60±0.46), while Kurdi breed (11.68±7.95) showed the lowest ALT activity. Moreover, significant differences (p < 0. 01) in serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, U/L), total and direct bilirubin, glucose, creatinine, lipid profile and electrolytes levels were recorded among different breeds used in this study. On the other hand, non- significant variations (p >0. 05) are reported in aspartate aminotransferase (AST, U/L), alkaline phosphatase (ALP, U/L), total protein (TP, g/dl), albumin (Alb, g/dl), urea and magnesium (Mg, mg/dl) levels.
Conclusion:
These results showed a significant difference between some blood parameters of goat breeds raised in Libya. This could aid veterinarians to interpret laboratory data properly in order to improve management and conservation of those breeds.

Published: September 2024

Background:
Silver nanotechnology is widely applied in industry and medicine, with an increased likelihood of environmental and food contamination.
Aim:
This study aimed to explore the adverse effects of orally administering silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to pregnant or lactating female rats on adults and the development of their offspring.
Methods:
Forty female albino rats were used to assess the immediate impacts of AgNPs in two separate experiments. The experimental group received 1 mL of AgNPs, dissolved in deionized water, at doses of 0, 50, and 100 mg/kg of body weight from the 6th to the 15th day of gestation in pregnant albino rats. After a 20-day gestation period, euthanasia was performed on the female rats, followed by a gross examination post-dissection.
Results:
The feti were preserved in ethyl alcohol and Poin's solution for the identification of skeletal and visceral malformations. It was noticed that feti of dams that received AgNPs showed teratogenicities such as delayed ossification and deletion of bones or ribs. Notably, dams showed necrosis and satellitosis with evidence of behavioral alteration. While rats’ pups showed only brain edema and no behavioral changes.
Conclusion:
AgNPs at a dose of 50 or 100 mg/kg induced teratogenic effect in terms of delayed ossification, abnormal limb formation, and brain edema in rat pups, however induced necrosis and satellitosis in dam rats. Hence, greater emphasis should be placed on preventing exposure to Ag-NPs, especially among pregnant females.

Background:
The liver is crucial for maintaining normal metabolism in the body. Various substances, such as toxic chemicals, drugs, and alcohol, can damage hepatocyte cells, leading to metabolic imbalances.
Aim:
The experiment aimed to determine the efficacy of Lagenaria siceraria seed oil (LSS) as a hepatoprotective agent against acute hepatotoxicity triggered by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4).
Methods:
A total of 20 rats were randomly separated into four groups. The control group: rats received 2 ml of distilled water orally, followed by 1.25 ml of olive oil intraperitoneally (i.p.) after 30 minutes. CCL4 group: rats were given a single intraperitoneal dose of 1.25 ml/kg b.w. of CCl4 in a 1:1 mixture with olive oil. Silymarin group: received 100 mg of silymarin per kg of b.w. diluted in 2 ml of distilled water orally, followed by CCl4 treatment after 30 minutes. LSS oil group: received LSS oil at 3g/kg b.w. orally, followed by CCl4 treatment after 30 minutes. Blood samples were collected to assess liver enzymes (AST, ALT and ALP), proteins and bilirubin fractions, and redox status (catalase, reduced glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA)) were assessed in hepatic tissues. Changes in liver histopathological examination were also evaluated.
Results:
In CCl4-treated rats, there was a significant increase in serum liver marker enzyme activity (ALP, AST and ALT) along with a significant elevation (p < 0.05) in total bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, and direct bilirubin compared to the control rats. However, all these parameters decreased in the CCl4+ Silymarin and CCl4+LSS groups compared to CCl4-treated rats. There was a significant decline in total protein level and serum albumin in all experimental groups compared to the control, while globulin levels significantly increased in all experimental groups. There was a significant (p < 0.05) reduction in the level of GSH and catalase, with an increase in MDA level in CCl4 rats compared to other rats. Histopathological investigation of the LSS-treated group showed a hepatoprotective effect against CCl4.
Conclusion:
The study revealed that LSS oil has antioxidant activity against CCl4-induced toxicity.

Background:
The preservation of semen quality and kinematic characteristics during cryopreservation is crucial for the reproductive success and genetic management of livestock, particularly in Bali bulls.
Aim:
This study aimed to investigate the effect of adding purified green tea extract antioxidant Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in tris egg yolk diluent on the quality and kinematic characteristics of frozen semen from Bali bulls.
Methods:
Fresh and frozen semen samples were obtained from Bali bull and divided into four different treatment groups. P0 contained semen samples + diluent, while P1 to P3 consisted of semen samples + diluent supplemented with EGCG levels of 0.1 mg/100 mL, 0.15 mg/100 mL, and 0.2 mg/100 mL, respectively. Data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA and followed by Duncan's test if significant differences were found (p<0.05). Parameters observed included the assessment of fresh semen quality, kinematic analysis, post-thawing sperm viability and abnormality.
Results:
The results indicated that the assessment of fresh semen quality showed macroscopic and microscopic semen quality according to SNI 4869-1:2021. Kinematic analysis revealed significant differences in DSL and STR parameters between P0 and P3 (p<0.05). EGCG supplementation also caused significant differences in motility between P0 and P3 (p<0.05). Viability and spermatozoa abnormality with EGCG supplementation did not show significant differences (p>0.05).
Conclusion:
The best results for motility, kinematics, and sperm morphology variables were found in P1 as it did not exhibit a decrease in motility, kinematics, and sperm morphology. Viability did not show significant differences between P1, P2, and P3, but the best results were found in P2 as it did not exhibit a decrease in viability with mean and standard deviation (66.84 ± 7.88). Abnormality variables also did not show significant differences between P1, P2, and P3, but the best results were found in P2 as it did not exhibit a decrease in abnormality with mean and standard deviation (23.80 ± 7.36).

Ginkgo biloba extract has been widely used to prevent and treat stroke which prevents brain cell apoptosis and neuroinflammation. This has been shown to be beneficial in cognitive recovery in stroke incidents.
Aim:
This study aimed to determine the effect of Ginkgo biloba on the expression of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Malondialdehyde (MDA), and Apoptosis-Inducing Factor (AIF) in the brain cells of rats (Rattus novergicus) exposed to Plumbum.
Methods:
The experimental animals used were 36 male white rats divided into 4 groups with different treatments of Plumbum and Ginkgo biloba at varying doses for 42 days, after which the brains were collected for examination of SOD, MDA, and AIF expressions using immunohistochemical methods and analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan's test.
Results:
Plumbum administration caused a significant decrease in SOD expression and an increase in MDA and AIF expressions (p<0.05). Ginkgo biloba administration significantly increased SOD expression and decreased MDA and AIF expressions (p<0.05), with optimal increases in SOD, decreases in MDA, and modulation of AIF observed in the group exposed to 50 mg/kg BW Pb and 300 mg/kg BW Ginkgo biloba.
Conclusion:
Preventive administration of Ginkgo biloba increased SOD expression, reduced MDA and AIF expressions in Pb-exposed rats, with an optimal dose of 300 mg/kg BW, suggesting its potential as an affordable drug to prevent brain cell death-related diseases.
