Bades Village, Pasirian District, Lumajang Regency is a village whose area is located between two active mountains, namely Mount Semeru and Mount Lamongan and a coastline that stretches from west to east so that there is the potential for extreme waves and tsunamis. The geographical location of Bades Village causes the potential for several natural disaster threats such as tsunamis, landslides, and earthquakes. Therefore, disaster mitigation education is needed from an early age, especially for elementary school students. Disaster mitigation education can be done in several ways, one of which is using Educational Props (APE). The purpose of this devotion is to raise awareness and respond to the arrival of unpredictable disasters. So that these students are expected to have knowledge of pre-disaster mitigation and in times of disaster and can share their knowledge with the community. In addition, the method used in this socialization activity gives a new color in its delivery to elementary school students. The method used is the observation method, then held a socialization with the students of SDN 05 Bades, Kecamtan Pasirian, Lumajang Regency. The subjects of socialization were 40 elementary school students in grades 4 –6. The result of this service and research is an increase in knowledge of mitigating natural disasters that occur. Students are enthusiastic and interested in this socialization so that they are able to apply the material that has been given when the disaster comes.
SAINTS METHODIUS AND CYRIL IN THE HYMNOGRAPHY OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH OF THE CZECH LANDS AND SLOVAKIA
Authors: Naumow Aleksander
Published: March 2023

Orthodoxy in the Czech and Moravian territories in the New Age was initially present thanks to the Russian embassy and Russian visitors to the various Czech resorts, but it was also associated with the intensification of the Cyril and Methodius cult in Western and Eastern Europe (1848, 1863, 1869, 1880-1881, 1885), the development of Slavic philology and the pro-Russian Slavophile sentiments among the intelligentsia. In Slovakia, the situation was different - the Eastern rite was spread in the Uniate structures, with the nascent pursuit of Orthodoxy, especially among the Carpathian Ruthenians. The leading idea of the emergence of Orthodox philological sentiments and movements was the Cyril and Methodius idea and its traces in Moravia, Bohemia, Slovakia and Transcarpathian Ruthenia. The very founding of the Orthodox Church in the country is the work of the Serbian Patriarch Dimitrije (Pavlović). At the head of this Church stands Fr. Matěj Pavlík (1879-1942), ordained by the Serbian Patriarch in 1921. Bishop Gorazd II is preparing an epoch-making liturgical collection: Lidový sborník modliteb a bohoslužebných zpĕvů Pravoslavné Církve (1934, 2nd ed. 1951), including all possible futures of the Cyril and Methodius tradition. He chose July 5 for the main celebration of Cyril and Methodius, which continues on July 6 with the liturgical memory of St. John Hus, also a national holiday of the Republic. The solemn service mentions the Holy Brothers, their disciples and ideological followers several times. A great event reviving the Cyril and Methodius theme in a new geopolitical situation in the 90s of the last century is related to the proclamation of Prince Rostislav of Moravia as a saint with the date of remembrance October 28. The Episcopal Council decided on this in December 1992, and the celebrations took place in October 1994. The liturgical texts dedicated to him in many places speak of the Holy Brothers. Since 2015, the cult of St. Lyudmila, giving it the features of a nationwide cult. The events obscured the liturgical cult practised for centuries in the Orthodox Church, but it is also trying to join this program.
ON THE QUESTION OF THE ELDEST TEXTOLOGICAL LAYER OF THE HOLY WEEK SERVICES (Based on the Holy Friday Hours)
Authors: Borisova Tatyana
Published: March 2023

The present paper deals with the eldest stages of Church Slavonic translations of Byzantine hymnography reconstructed over the Great and Holy Week services of the early South and East Slavonic manuscripts. Specifically the Service of the Great and Holy Friday Hours was studied on the material of 15 Triodia and Stichiraria from 12th–14th centuries. The comparative analysis of the Greek and Slavonic sources demonstrated the great divergence in the certain service structure and text and revealed that it was composed and extended gradually by compiling of hymnographic units from the Antiphons and the Vespers Services. Some of these troparia retained the features of the first Slavonic translations, while the others in the same manuscripts probably originated from later versions. The textological history of the certain service in the manuscripts under analysis was reconstructed and the changes that occurred on every stage of this history due to either systematic corrections according to Greek manuscripts or compilations of various Slavonic sources were described.
THE TRANSLATION OF 1COR 14:5–39 ACCORDING TO VITA CONSTANTINI-CYRILLI XVI:2–57
Authors: Daiber Thomas
Published: March 2023

Chapter XVI: 2–57 of Vita Constantini-Cyrilli offers an unabridged translation of a lengthy passage from apostle Paul’s First letter to the Corinthians (14: 5–9). The Old Church Slavonic translation closely follows the Byzantine redaction of the Greek original; 5 variants are found, which are not covered in the Nestle/ Aland edition of the New Testament. While the Old Church Slavonic translation is a good example for the Bible tanslations made by Cyrill and Method in preparation of their Moravian mission, it poses two questions. The first question is related to the condition, the text is preserved in the transmitted copies of Vita Cyrilli. Sometimes the correct Old Church Slavonic translation of the Greek source can only been reached by a re-combination of the extent reading variants from different manuscripts. It can be asked why no copyist of Vita Cyrilli bothered to compare the text, he was copying, with a sound Church Slavonic translation, which had been possible, at least, after the appearance of printed Slavonic Bibles. The second question is related to the function, the lengthy translation may have in the context of Vita Cyrilli. Being an example for the high quality of the first Slavic Bible translation of Cyrill and Method, it may have been included into Vita Cyrilli originally in company with the Greek original. Additionally, the topic of ‘speech and language’ seems related to the narrative context of Vita Cyrilli, where the Venetian clergy promotes the theory of “Holy three languages”. The paper suggests, that the argument of “Holy three languages” has a more ‘nationalistic’ meaning here in comparison to Vita Cyrilli XV: 5, where the argument had already been used by the clergy of Salzburg.
THE THEME OF CYRIL AND METHODIUS IN THE WALL-PAINTINGS AT THE ARAPOVO MONASTERY
Authors: Grigorova Totka
Published: March 2023

The following paper is an attempt at a complete analysis of the theme of Cyril and Methodius in the iconography at the Arapovo Monastery. In 1864 in the cella of the “St. Nedeliya” church, ten paintings, depicting the work of the Slavic teachers, were painted. They have been examined numerous times over the years, but different publications offer different interpretations of depiction for each of the scenes. The paper presents the current condition, as well as content, of said depictions. An attempt has been made to provide a background for the scenes depicted, based on available texts from the 19th century. One of the paintings depicts St. Cyril as the one who converted the Bulgarian ruler to Christianity, which contradicts the legend of Methodius, that was popular during the Bulgarian National Revival. The depiction of St. Cyril in this role could be based on “The Legend of Thessalonica” (better known in Bulgarian as “Solun”), “The Dormition of Cyril” and “The Czech Legend”, which were available in publications dating from the early 19th century. The examples lead to the conclusion that the switch of roles in the conversion scene was an intentional choice, representing the patriotic understandings of young painter Georgi Danchov regarding the fight for an independent church which was occurring during that decade. A thematically identical scene, which depicts St. Methodius in the role of baptizer, was painted in the monastery’s holy spring. The paper also provides an image with initials present, according to which, the painting was done in 1870 by Aleksi Atanasov. It depicts the Thessalonica Brothers as they are compiling the alphabet, surrounded by their pupils. There are nine people present, as opposed to the usual seven, usually referred to as the “Seven Saints”. A brochure, put out in 1857 by the bishop Polycarp, provides an explanation for that number. In publications from 1988 and 2008, there are mentions of painted figures, identified as St. Cyril and St. Methodius. These depictions serve as basis for two hypotheses for identifying them that the paper explores. The more likely of the two is the one that connects these depictions to St. Cyril and St. Athanasius of Alexandria. The monastery’s katholikon features depictions of St. Cyril and St. Methodius at the southern entrance, as well as two icons, signed by Georgi Danchov in 1866 and Nikola Danchov in 1871.

Study on serum miR-185-5p in assessing the injury severity and prognosis of patients with traumatic brain injury
Authors: Chen AiYu , Tong Xiang , LiZhen Tang , Lu Tao , Wu CaiHong
Published: March 2023

Background: This study aims to explore whether serum miR-185-5p levels are related to the injury severity and prognosis of traumatic brain injury patients. Methods: Serum miR-185-5p level was quantified in 120 TBI patients. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was used to grade the damage, and the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) was used to evaluate the prognosis 3 months after TBI. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between serum miR-185-5p level and injury severity and prognosis, and the value of serum miR-185-5p level to assess injury severity and prognosis was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: Serum miR-185-5p level in moderate and severe TBI patients was higher than in mild TBI patients, and serum miR-185-5p was closely related to GCS score and GOS score. Serum miR-185-5p level higher than 0.36 could distinguish patients with mild to moderate TBI injury, with 72.97% sensitivity and 97.62% specificity, while that higher than 0.43 had 46.34% sensitivity and 91.89% specificity to distinguish moderate to severe TBI patients. Moreover, serum miR-185-5p levels higher than 0.36, with a sensitivity of 96.30% and a specificity of 60.24%, distinguished the poor prognosis of TBI patients. Serum miR185-5p level was an independent predictor of poor prognosis in TBI patients after 3 months and was effective in discriminating adverse outcomes at 3 months. Conclusions: Serum miR-185-5p level was significantly correlated with 3-month injury and adverse prognosis in TBI patients, suggesting that serum miR-185-5p level may be a biomarker that provides supplementary prognostic information and can be used to identify the risk of adverse prognosis in TBI patients.

Authors: Saleh Francys Peruzzi
Published: March 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar, com base na literatura consultada, o processo de identidade do gaúcho, através de suas tradições e cultura, ambas fortemente arraigadas até os dias atuais. Diante disso, compreendeu-se que a identidade passa a ser construída ao longo do tempo, e qualquer indivíduo tem o direito de optar pelo que for melhor para si, tendo em vista as experiências anteriores. Portanto, escolher amigos, alimentos, roupa, faz com que a identidade seja desenvolvida. Ficou entendido que a indumentária gaúcha, mais especificamente a bombacha, é o elemento símbolo do companheirismo e da liberdade que identifica o sul-rio-grandense em qualquer lugar do mundo, e que serve de inspiração para enriquecer a cultura do gaúcho do Rio Grande do Sul.

Problems and Challenges of Implementation and Management of Social Entrepreneurship in Sri Lanka
Authors: Jayasinghe Dilini Imalka , Greitane Rita
Published: March 2023

The social entrepreneurship concept has been raising the interest of people, specifically social practitioners, policymakers, media, and scholars over the past decade. Even though the Social entrepreneurship concept is recognized to be of vital importance to the economy of any country, majorly in developing countries, the scholarly contribution has been very limited. Specifically, in Sri Lanka, the notion of Social entrepreneurship is alien to the majority of the general public and even if some entrepreneurs are indeed Social entrepreneurs, they are unaware of this fact. This article provides an extensive analysis of the problems and challenges faced by Sri Lankan social entrepreneurs as they start their businesses, as well as the anticipated challenges in the future. To identify the problems of social entrepreneurship in Sri Lanka, a literature review and in-depth interviews with Sri Lankan social entrepreneurs were conducted. Based on the results of the conducted research, a model characterizing Sri Lankan social entrepreneurs and a social business canvas model have been developed.
Participation of Manufacturing Firms in Global Value Chains and Eco-Innovation Performance: A Case of Lithuania
Authors: Šūmakaris Paulius , Korsakienė Renata
Published: March 2023

In recent decades, international trade relations have changed significantly due to faster development of logistics, global brands, redistribution of production, and regional specialization. The increasing number of challenges has been observed in global value chains due to rapid globalization. Manufacturing firms, embedded in global value chains, have been found to be not only key players in the market, but also the main polluters. Therefore, the firms, aiming to respond to these challenges are forced to look for more environmentally friendly alternatives. As a consequence, eco-innovation has been recognized as a key factor in preventing a negative impact on the environment. The article aims to disclose the participation of the Lithuanian manufacturing sector in global value chains and eco-innovation performance. For this study, we employ literature review and statistical analysis methods. The results reveal the extent of Lithuania's participation in global value chains and its long-term changes, as well as the eco-innovation performance in the context of the EU. The insights for policy makers and future research are elaborated.

A CASE OF (GALENIC?) NATURAL ΠΝΕΥΜΑ IN A LATE-ANTIQUE HOMILY OF JOHN CHRYSOSTOM?
Authors: de Wet Chris L.
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this article is to investigate evidence for a possible case of (Galenic?) natural πνεῦμα in John Chrysostom’s 39th homily on 1 Corinthians and its significance for tracing the development of a tripartite physiological pneumatology in late antiquity. The article starts with an overview of the contention surrounding natural πνεῦμα in Galen’s thought and the problems of the tripartite physiological pneumatology. Thereafter, the reference in John’s homily is examined in detail, with special reference to John’s own holistic understanding of πνεῦμα in his medical-theological framework. The article ends with some conclusions and proposals for better understanding and approaching natural πνεῦμα and the problems of the tripartite physiological pneumatology.
THE SACRED POWER OF FAT AND HONEY IN SAN AND ANCIENT GREEK MYTH AND RITUAL
Authors: Lambert Michael
Published: March 2023

In this paper, I attempt a comparison between the sacred significance of fat and honey in the myths and rituals of the San peoples of southern Africa and the ancient Greeks. As Biesele (1993) and Lewis-Williams (2015) have convincingly demonstrated, the creation narratives of the diverse linguistic groups which constitute the /Xam (San) peoples of southern Africa, arguably the first peoples to call this country ‘home’, reveal strong links between the gathering and possession of animal fat and honey, and access to spiritual power. In ancient Greek mythology, as is well known from Callimachus and many later texts (e.g., Apollodorus and Nonnus), the infant Zeus was fed on honey by the bee-woman, Melissa. Many fundamental rites in ancient Greek religion, as reflected in texts from Homer onwards—libations, some sacrifices, ritual offerings such as the ‘panspermia’, and funerary rites—all provide evidence of the Greek belief in the spiritual potency of fat and honey. I thus analyse the similarities and differences between the significance of the fat-honey nexus in these two religious traditions and reflect on cross-cultural comparisons, their history, and their purpose in contemporary South Africa.

A key feature of advanced brain aging includes structural defects of intracortical myelin that are associated with secondary neuroinflammation. A similar pathology is seen in specific myelin mutant mice that model ‘advanced brain aging’ and exhibit a range of behavioral abnormalities. However, the cognitive assessment of these mutants is problematic because myelin-dependent motor-sensory functions are required for quantitative behavioral readouts. To better understand the role of cortical myelin integrity for higher brain functions, we generated mice lacking Plp1, encoding the major integral myelin membrane protein, selectively in ventricular zone stem cells of the mouse forebrain. In contrast to conventional Plp1 null mutants, subtle myelin defects were restricted to the cortex, hippocampus, and underlying callosal tracts. Moreover, forebrain-specific Plp1 mutants exhibited no defects of basic motor-sensory performance at any age tested. Surprisingly, several behavioral alterations reported for conventional Plp1 null mice (Gould et al., 2018) were absent and even social interactions appeared normal. However, with novel behavioral paradigms, we determined catatonia-like symptoms and isolated executive dysfunction in both genders. This suggests that loss of myelin integrity has an impact on cortical connectivity and underlies specific defects of executive function. These observations are likewise relevant for human neuropsychiatric conditions and other myelin-related diseases.

There are no pharmacological disease-modifying treatments with an enduring effect to mitigate the seizures and comorbidities of established chronic temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). This study aimed to evaluate for disease modifying effects of sodium selenate treatment in the chronically epileptic rat post-status epilepticus (SE) model of drug-resistant TLE. Wistar rats underwent kainic acid-induced SE or sham. Ten-weeks post-SE, animals received sodium selenate, levetiracetam, or vehicle subcutaneousinfusion continuously for 4 weeks. To evaluate the effects of the treatments, one week of continuous video-EEG was acquired before, during, and 4, 8 weeks post-treatment, followed by behavioral tests. Targeted and untargeted proteomics and metabolomics were performed on post-mortem brain tissue to identify potential pathways associated with modified disease outcomes. Telomere length was investigated as a novel surrogate marker of epilepsy disease severity in our current study. The results showed that sodium selenate treatment was associated with mitigation of measures of disease severity at 8 weeks post-treatment cessation; reducing the number of spontaneous seizures (p< 0.05), cognitive dysfunction (p< 0.05), and sensorimotor deficits (p< 0.01). Moreover, selenate treatment was associated with increased protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) expression, reduced hyperphosphorylated tau, and reversed telomere length shortening (p< 0.05). Network medicine integration of multi-omics/pre-clinical outcomes identified protein-metabolite modules positively correlated with TLE. Our results provide evidence that treatment with sodium selenate results in a sustained disease-modifying effect in chronically epileptic rats in the post-KA SE model of TLE, including improved comorbid learning and memory deficits.
Single cell preparations of Mycobacterium tuberculosis damage the mycobacterial envelope and disrupt macrophage interactions

Published: March 2023

For decades, investigators have studied the interaction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) with macrophages, which serve as a major cellular niche for the bacilli. Because Mtb are prone to aggregation, investigators rely on varied methods to disaggregate the bacteria for these studies. Here, we examined the impact of routinely used preparation methods on bacterial cell envelope integrity, macrophage inflammatory responses, and intracellular Mtb survival. We found that both gentle sonication and filtering damaged the mycobacterial cell envelope and markedly impacted the outcome of infections in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages. Unexpectedly, sonicated bacilli were hyperinflammatory, eliciting dramatically higher TLR2-dependent gene expression and elevated secretion of IL-1β and TNF-α. Despite evoking enhanced inflammatory responses, sonicated bacilli replicated normally in macrophages. In contrast, Mtb that had been passed through a filter induced little inflammatory response, and they were attenuated in macrophages. Previous work suggests that the mycobacterial cell envelope lipid, phthiocerol dimycocerosate (PDIM), dampens macrophage inflammatory responses to Mtb. However, we found that the impact of PDIM depended on the method used to prepare Mtb. In conclusion, widely used methodologies to disaggregate Mtb may introduce experimental artifacts in Mtb-host interaction studies, including alteration of host inflammatory signaling, intracellular bacterial survival, and interpretation of bacterial mutants.
Approach to Patients with Consecutive Helicobacter pylori Eradication Failure
Authors: Kim Sung Eun
Published: March 2023

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is associated with various gastrointestinal disorders, such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and gastric cancer. Therefore, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a specialized cancer agency of the World Health Organization, categorizes H. pylori as a definite gastric carcinogen (group I). H. pylori eradication is a major challenge both medically and socioeconomically in countries with high prevalence of H. pylori and gastric cancer. However, the efficacy of first-line clarithromycin-containing triple therapy and second-line bismuth-containing quadruple therapy continues to decline worldwide including in Korea. The role of salvage therapy is being recognized globally; however, the exact salvage therapy which is useful in daily clinical practice remains unestablished. In this review, factors associated with eradication failure will be discussed. Furthermore, eradication regimens that may be useful as salvage therapies based on Korean guidelines, Maastricht VI/Florence consensus report and previous research are summarized.
Approach to Small Gastric Subepithelial Lesions
Authors: Lee Moon Won , Lee Bong Eun
Published: March 2023

Gastric subepithelial lesions (SELs) are often detected incidentally during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Although most SELs are benign, endoscopic differentiation between malignant and benign lesions is important. Endoscopy is useful to determine the location, color, consistency, mobility, surface characteristics, and approximate size of gastric SELs. EUS can distinguish between intraluminal lesions and extraluminal compression and confirm the exact size, layer of origin, echogenicity, and homogeneity of SELs. Accurate understanding of the endoscopic and EUS features of gastric SELs is useful to effectively design an appropriate management plan and thereby minimize the rate of unnecessary surveillance or overtreatment.

Published: March 2023

Traditional learning techniques have evolved slowly and have yet to adapt the course content delivery to today’s students’ approaches to acquiring new knowledge. However, micro-learning has become popular in e-Learning environments as a course design technique due to short attention spans, demand for small chunks of information, and time constraints. Hence, it has been selected for creating reading mobile applications provided to the nature of its learning approach. In order to describe the multiple iterations of design, development, and evaluation of this general framework, a methodology named Design-Based Research (DBR) is implemented. First, the article presents the abstract framework components and a cloud-based software architecture that allows a modular approach to creating such applications. The pathway developed through adapting the iPAC framework, which involves personalization, authenticity, and collaboration, is part of the methodology used to design the app under pedagogical and technological considerations. The process demanded the following phases: analysis and exploration, design and construction, evaluation and reflection, redesign and reconstruction, and final critical reflections. Four applied instruments also validate the framework implementation: The iPAC Rubric, an aphorisms checklist, a pre and post-test, a focus group, and a usability test taken by 28 students in a private university in Colombia. Findings indicated that Design-Based Research (DBR) methodology emerged as an appropriate tool to encounter the needs behind reading applications design due to its sequence of operations yields results successively closer to adequate usability standards and smooth implementation. They also reveal the positive impact of new types of texts on students’ motivation and awareness toward other reading strategies and micro-learning. This impact indeed proved the proposed framework’s effectiveness for designing micro-learning applications.
Combining ability, heterosis and performance of grain yield and content of Fe, Zn and protein in bread wheat under normal and late sowing conditions

Published: March 2023

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is inherently low in protein content, Zn and Fe. Boost yield gains have unwittingly reduced grain Zn and Fe, which has had negative impacts on human health. The aim of this study was to understand the inheritance of grain yield per plant and grain Fe, Zn, and protein concentrations in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under normal and late sown conditions. Half diallel crosses were performed using 10 parents. The crosses and parents were evaluated in replicated trials for the two conditions, to assess the possibility of exploiting heterosis to improve micronutrient contents. The per se performance, heterosis, combining ability, and genetic components were estimated for different characters in both environments. The results revealed that hybrid GW 451 × GW 173 exhibited better parent heterosis (BPH) and standard heterotic effects (SH) in all environments. In both sowing conditions, the general combining ability (GCA) effects of poor × poor parents also showed high specific combining ability (SCA) effects of hybrids for both the micronutrients and protein contents. However, σ2A/σ2D greater than unity confirmed the preponderance of additive gene action for protein content, and GW 173 was identified as a good general combiner for these characteristics under both environments. SCA had positive significant (P < 0.001) correlations with BPH, SH1, SH2, and the phenotype for yield component traits and grain protein, Fe, and Zn concentrations in both conditions. A supplementary approach for biofortifying wheat grainis required to prevent malnutrition.

A Resilient Adaptive Event-triggered H\(\infty\) Tracking Control of T-S Fuzzy Systems with Markovian Jump Parameters under DOS Attacks
Authors: Lou Yuxin , Luo Mengzhuo
Published: March 2023

In this paper, the problem of H\(\infty\) output-tracking control for T-S fuzzy markov jump systems(MJSs) with imperfect premise matching is investigated. The conditional probability information between the system and the controller is imperfectly known. Firstly, due to the in influence of network-induce delay, the system mode information can not be transmitted to the controller synchronously, thus, a discrete-time hidden markov model(HMM) is established to describe the asynchronous phenomenon between the system and the controller; Secondly, form the prospectively of practical applications, packet loss in two channels is taken into consideration, which is caused by denial-of-service(DOS) attacks; Thirdly, in order to improve the data transmission efficiency and save network bandwidth resources, a novel resilient adaptive event-triggered(AET) mechanism is proposed, in which the event-based threshold parameter is dynamically regulated over the processing. Additionally, resorted the compensation principle and the lyapunov-krasovski(L-K) functions methods, some sufficient conditions in form of liner matrix inequality(LMI) are achieved to co-guarantee the stability and H\(\infty\) tracking property of the closed-loop system; Finally, two examples are given to verify the effectiveness of our design mentality.

Aims: To review the induction and treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) with plant extract in rats in light of the rising incidence of the condition, its accompanying physical and mental issues, and the role that sex hormone alterations play in its development.

Methodology: An extensive literature search was carried out using relevant publications, which were published between 2012 and 2022 and indexed in Google Scholar, PubMed, Elsevier, Scientific Information Database, and Science Direct were investigated.

Results: This review shows that the majority of research examined the levels of sex hormones in the serum, the induction of PCOS, and the treatment of animal models. The review also found that 43.75% of the studies induced PCOS with Letrozole, 31.25% with estradiol valerate, 6.25% with Testosterone Enanthate (TE), and 6.25% of the studies induced PCOS with Testosterone Propionate (TP).

Conclusion: This study showed that Letrozole, Estradiol valerate, Dhea, Testosterone Enanthate, and Testosterone Propionate effectively induce PCOS in rats. Also, `plant extracts are effective in treating PCOS. More research into the mechanisms of action for plant extracts is required to complete our understanding of the reproductive endocrinological effects of plant extract treatment for PCOS.

Authors: Wale Ojewumi, Anthony
Published: March 2023

Enzymes play significant roles in metabolic processes of seeds. Therefore, this study evaluated osmoregulatory potential of some osmoprotectants on activities of some hydrolytic enzymes in the seeds of two cultivars (SOSAT.C-88 and CV. LCIC 9702) of sorghum bicolor. Matured seeds of the two cultivars were harvested and prepared for alpha, beta, total amylase and proteinase activities assay. The osmoprotectants produced significant variations on the enzymes at 10 and 14 days (DA) of 8 weeks after treatments (WAT). Seeds of well-watered SOSAT.C-88 produced higher alpha (2.10 IU/ml), beta (1.70 IU/ml) and total amylase activities (3.30 IU/ml) at 14 days (DA). Higher alpha (2.01 IU/ml and total amylase activities (2.61 IU/ml) were recorded in the seeds of CV. LCIC 9702 well-watered at 14 days DA 8WAT. Furthermore, total amylase activities (3.87 IU/ml) were recorded in the seeds produced by CV. LCIC 9702 well-watered at 14 days DA. Significant increase was noticed in beta (1.14 IU/ml) and alpha amylase (1.58 IU/ml) in the seeds of CV. LCIC 9702 treated with mycorrhiza. CV. LCIC 9702 well watered produced highest proteinase activities (1.57 U/ml) while least of the parameters were recorded in SOSAT.C-88 and CV. LCIC 9702 droughted. In conclusion, the osmoprotectants had regulatory effects on the activities of hydrolytic enzymes therefore the use of the osmoprotectants in farming should be encouraged.

Aflatoxin levels in animal feed should be observed from the farm to the table to ensure the safety of the feed to animals and humans. The contamination of cereals and other agricultural supplies used in animal feed production could happen in the farm in the pre-harvest phase or in the post-harvest phase. The study sought to determine Aflatoxin levels in broiler feed from selected farms in Nairobi City County. A total of 42 feed samples were collected. Samples were analyzed using the LCMS/MS technique. Results from the study show that Aflatoxin levels in broiler starter were; B1(17.26±3.07 ppb), B2 (2.44±0.84 ppb), G1 (8.87±2.41 ppb), G2 (0.9±0.44 ppb) and Total AF (29.47±6.13 ppb). Aflatoxin levels in broiler finisher were B1 (17.17±3.09 ppb), B2 (2.68±1.18 ppb), G1 (9.25±2.7 ppb), G2 (1±0.45 ppb) and Total AF (30.1±6.88 ppb). Results from analysis of feed samples showed that AFB1 levels in both broiler starter and broiler finisher were above the KEBS limit but were below the EAC, EU and WHO/FAO limit. Total Aflatoxin levels were above the KEBS limit but below the EAC limit. There is need to enhance the capacity of feed surveillance and monitoring in the country through various laboratory analysis techniques among various agencies in the feed value chain to ensure feed safety.

Having accurate and ample data on rains is the sole golden input for deciding ultimate success of any progressive efforts towards natural resource management. Ultimate conquest of any pertinent schemes on developing and managing watersheds, canals, commands, irrigation net-works, soil-erosion, soil-conservation, drylands, forests, pastures, livestock, land use changes and many ecology-based errands; is entirely governs by the precision, relevancy and quality of rainfall data. Even the ending success of present days smart hydrologic models, modelling entirely remains regulated by the precision & relevance of rainfall data used therein. Most commonly available rain data happens to be daily rain values. However, for precise planning at microscale, we need to have its finer sub-daily temporal distribution. Rainfall disaggregation is a newly emerging applied option where utilities of advanced stochastic architecture is utilized across the globe to offer desired location specific and even rainy day specific best possible temporal disaggregated outcomes. Present paper offers some of the crisped outcomes from a detailed study performed in Gujarat. The predictive ability of one of the most popular BLRP model in this regard is shared by incorporating its basic architecture followed by its predictive performances on randomised sample rainy days covering 6 explicit locations in middle Gujarat region of western India. Preliminary findings reported herein will serve as a food for thought for smarter ways of managing water, land, watersheds and ecology. The BLRP model for rainfall disaggregation has the potential to improve the accuracy of rainfall estimates, facilitate efficient water management, improve hydrological modeling, facilitate climate change analysis, and be cost-effective.
