Effect of DL Methionine Supplementation in Japanese Quail Diets on Growth, Meat Quality and Health
Authors: Mahmoud Rania , Ghanem Hanaa , Salem Shimaa
Published: June 2023

The present study aimed to assess the effect of dietary supplementation of DL- Methionine

(DL-Meth) on growth performance and health of growing Japanese quails. A total of 300, 2-

week-old quails were randomly divided into 4 equal experimental groups, with 8 replicates of

10 quails per pen, for 4 weeks. Quails in the control group were fed a control diet whereas in

the other experimental groups the quails were fed a diet supplemented with DL-Meth (0.99%)

at 1, 3, and 5g/kg diet. Quail’s performance traits in each experimental group were calculated

weekly. At the end of the growth period, eight quails (one/replicate) from each group were

chosen randomly for serum collection, carcass attributes measurement. The results revealed that

quails’ growth traits; final weight (FW), weight gain (WG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR)

showed a significant improvement (p < .05) (linear) as DL-Meth supplementation level

increased to 3 and 5g/kg diet (7.2 and 9.1g/kg Meth respectively). Serum superoxide dismutase

and catalase activities were improved (p < .05) in quails fed DL-Meth supplemented diet at 3,

and 5g/kg. DL-Meth supplementation at 3, and 5g/kg was associated with a significant (p < .05)

increase in quails’ breast muscle percentages compared to the other groups. In addition, the

sensory evaluation of meat was not influenced by supplementation of methionine at different

levels. It is concluded that under our experimental conditions, supplementation of 3g/kg DL-

Meth (methionine content, 7.2g/kg) to corn-soybean meal-based diet for Japanese quails, was

appropriate for enhancing the birds’ growth, breast muscle yield, and antioxidant activity with

maintaining the acceptable sensory quality of birds’ meat.

Published: June 2023

Background: Despite the lack of evidence-based guidance on supplement use for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, consumption of dietary supplements has been shown to increase in many countries. Objective: This study aimed to explore the use of dietary supplements among undergraduate students. Methods: An online cross-sectional survey was conducted between May and June 2021, involving a total of 536 participants (57.8% female) aged between 18-30 years in two university towns in central and northern Greece. Two validated questionnaires were used regarding dietary supplements and stress during COVID-19. Results: The prevalence of dietary supplement use was 67.5%. The three most popular supplements consumed were vitamin C (65.2%), followed by vitamin D (58.3%), and multivitamin and mineral supplements (56.9%). The use of CAS-5 indicated that 13.1% of students were classified as having dysfunctional anxiety due to COVID-19 (CAS-5 score ≥5).  Logistic regression analysis showed that those who exhibited CAS-5 ≥5 were over two times more likely to consume supplements compared to no-stress participants (OR 2.29, 95%CI: 1.09-4.82). Particularly vitamin D use was associated with CAS score ≥5 (OR 2.18, 95%CI 1.22-3.89) a finding that was not observed with other types of dietary supplements. Conclusion: Women, passive smokers, and those who believe that DS are necessary during the COVID-19 pandemic were also more likely to consume dietary supplements. The use of dietary supplements is widespread among Greek students. Future studies should be conducted to monitor whether these increases in DS use are maintained.

Authors: Sivaraman Shanmugapriyan , Rajendran Subash
Published: June 2023

Background: Pluchea lanceolata belongs to the genus Pluchea (family: Asteraceae). The medicinal herb has been used for various ailments to prevent joint swelling in arthritic disorders, rheumatism, and other neurological-inflammatory disorders. Pluchine, which in our review was found to be a compound from P. Lanceolata, is explored for possible pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties by in silico computational predictive tools.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study is to profile the pharmacokinetic, toxicological, and drug likeness scores of pluchine’s active principle using computational analysis and prediction tools.

Materials and Methods: The authenticated and validated chemical structure of pluchine with its chemical formula will be extracted from standard web-based tools PubChem and ChemSpider. The two-dimensional to three-dimensional (3D) structure conversion will be processed with ChemSketchonline software; the 3D structure output will be processed further to be screened for molecular and pharmacokinetic properties for absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination, followed by toxicity profiling through AdmetSAR software.

Results: Pluchine active principle from P. lanceolata had a predictive pharmacokinetic profile of human intestinal absorption of <30%, Human skin permeability coefficients (log k p) of pluchine were −6.75 cm/s, and the blood–brain barrier were predicted to be positive with a probability score of 0.65. Drug likeness lipinskiscore is positive with -0- violations. Acute oral toxicity testing for pluchine predicts it to be placed in category III with LD50 values >500 mg/kg but <5000 mg/kg.

Conclusion: The pluchineactive principle from P. lanceolata is predicted to have a favorable pharmacokinetic and drug-like property profile for lead compound development.
Pathogens associated with tomato Post-harvest losses in Mwea, Kenya
Authors: G Mugao Lydia , K Birgen Jonah
Published: June 2023

Tomato post-harvest pathogens are a threat to the harvested tomatoes. Tomato fruit attract more micro-organisms because of it being succulent, highly rich in nutrients and sugars that are medium for microbial growth. The pathogens destroy tomato fruits reducing the quantity of consumable fruits and at the same time lowering the profit made from the sales of the tomato fruits. Consumption of contaminated fruits results to food poisoning. Isolation and identification of pathogens causing tomato fruit rot is necessary in order to create awareness and reduce the risks of infections arising from handling and consumption of contaminated tomato fruits. The objective of this study was to isolate and identify pathogens that cause tomato fruit rots in Mwea Kenya and test the susceptibility of tomato cultivars to the rots. In this study infected tomato samples were collected from farms and markets in Mwea. Disease causing micro-organisms that were suspected to cause the post-harvest damage were isolated, identified and re-inoculated to wounded surface sterilized fresh harvested ripe tomato fruits to establish pathogenicity. Two common tomato cultivars (Kilele F1 and Roma V.F) grown in Mwea were tested for susceptibility to the common post-harvest tomato pathogens in the area. Data was analysed using SPSS frequency, percent and chi-square test statistics. Six pathogens were isolated from infected tomato samples and they varied significantly (p<0.001) with Furasium spp. being the most prevalent (30%). Damage caused by the pathogens on tomato fruits also varied significantly (p<0.001) with Rhizopus spp. causing (100%) rot. The susceptibility of the tomato cultivars to the test pathogens differed significantly (p<0.045) with Kilele F1 being the most susceptible. These findings will be of importance in making the farmers and consumers aware of pathogens causing tomato rots and cultivars that are susceptible to rots.

Pre-stroke physical activity is related to good functional outcomes in stroke patients after endovascular thrombectomy.
Authors: Meng Xiangbo , Ding Haiyan , Yin Congguo , Xia Wenqing , Wu Yan , Li Jianan
Published: June 2023

Abstract. Studies have shown that regular physical activity (PA) may re-duce the risk of stroke. Nevertheless, the protective effect of pre-stroke PA on the post-stroke functional status in patients treated with endovascular throm-bectomy (EVT) is still uncertain. For this study, hospitalized patients with acute ischemic stroke were selected, all of whom underwent EVT after occlusion of the large vessels in the anterior circulation. The PA levels before the stroke were assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and the outcome indicators (the modified Rankin scale score and the Barthel index) were evalu-ated. A total of 144 patients were included in this study. Among the patients with high PA levels before the stroke, men were more active than women, and the proportion of patients with smoking and alcohol abuse was high before admission. Also, the patients with a high PA level were more likely to have no history of hypertension and atrial fibrillation, and had lower triglyceride levels at admission. We determined that a high pre-stroke PA level is independently related to a favorable functional outcome at three months. In addition, there was no correlation between a high pre-stroke PA and a good functional outcome at two weeks. A high pre-stroke PA level is independently associated with sat-isfactory activities of daily living at three months. Regular PA before a stroke is an independent predictor of a favorable functional outcome in patients with anterior circulation strokes who receive EVT, and it has a protective effect on the functional prognosis.

Abstract. The present narrative review was conducted to investigate and to compile information about the physiopathology of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and the viral mechanisms of infection of the host’s cells, as well as how the virus survives the host’s innate immunological mechanisms and the mechanisms to produce cervical benign and malignant lesions. Literature searches were performed electronically in PubMed, Medline, ISI, DOAJ, Spring-er, Embase. Web of Knowledge, DOAJ, y Google Scholar, Hinari, JAMA Network, Oxford Academic and Research Life for original articles written in English and Scielo, Lantidex, Imbiomed-L, Redalyc, and Google Scholar for original articles written in Spanish. The searches included the keywords (MESH): physiopathol-ogy of HPV, HPV viral cycle, Carcinogenesis of HPV, HPV genomic structure, infection mechanism, and HPV taxonomy. Publications from January 1985 to August 2021 were reviewed. This narrative review allows us to understand how HPV produces productive and non-productive infection in the cells of the strati-fied squamous epithelium of the human being, especially that of the cervix, ex-plains how infection by the virus can produce benign lesions and malignant le-sions and explains why they are classified as HPV-HR and HPV-LR, according to their oncogenic capacity. These processes have made it possible to understand the behavior of the virus and establish primary treatment for the prevention of cervical cancer.

Authors: Candilas Kurt , Villanueva Ivory , Taglinao Elvie Mae , Villarta Kristina
Published: June 2023

Code-switching is the use of two languages in discourse to convey the intended message. The study investigated the phenomenon of code-switching during oral participation, specifically the experiences and contexts of the purposively selected students of ABC College in Cagayan de Oro City. The Phenomenology Design was employed in this study to explore the participants' actual experiences to identify the essence of human experiences. This study included six students from different programs of ABC College who experienced code-switching. The analysis was done using Creswell's (2007) simplified version of Moustakas's modification of the Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen Method of Analysis of Phenomenological Data. The finding of the study showed that the participants switched between codes during oral participation to support their communication skills and to feel more comfortable and confident in participating. The findings demonstrated that the phenomenon of code-switching as used by the students tended to come out when they were asked, wanted to express themselves more, encountered difficulty using the English language, were afraid to commit grammar errors, had difficulty recalling, lacked vocabulary, and when teachers allowed them to switch codes. This implies that the participants' experiences and contexts of code-switching during oral participation are reasons for code-switching. Thus, this study recommended facilitating the use of code-switching during oral participation in moderation for students to practice proficiency in their second language, English.

Effects of COVID-19 on Food Demand in Rural Indonesia: The Case of Bengkulu Province
Authors: Suryanty SN Melli , Matsuda Toshinobu
Published: June 2023

This paper examines food demand before and after the outbreak of COVID-19 and studies the effects of the situation on households’ demand for food in rural Indonesia, in the case of Bengkulu Province. The research data is taken from the Indonesia Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) as a microdata set which is collected annually by Indonesia Central Statistics Agency (BPS) from 2017 to 2021. The effect of COVID-19 on food demand estimates using the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS). The results demonstrate that prepared food expenditure is the largest portion of household expenditure on food in the Bengkulu rural area. Before the outbreak of COVID-19, animal source food is the most sensitive to food expenditure, but after the outbreak, prepared food is the most sensitive. Staple food is the most expenditure-inelastic before and after the outbreak. Expenditure for animal source food, vegetables & fruits, and prepared food have significant differences between before and after the outbreak. All the food groups substitute for each other before the outbreak, whereas staple food and prepared food cannot be regarded as a substitute for each other after the outbreak. There are eleven of the compensated price elasticities whose differences between before and after the outbreak are significant, whereas as a set the compensated price elasticities are significantly different between before and after the outbreak. Other food is the easiest to be substituted for both phases. Prepared food is the most difficult to be substituted before the outbreak, but the staple food is the most difficult to be substituted after the outbreak. After the outbreak of COVID-19, the demand for vegetables & fruits increases, but the demand for staple food and prepared food decreases, ceteris paribus. Family size, children, gender, age, and other demographics variables have an impact on household food demand. These findings imply that after the outbreak, the supply of vegetables & fruits should be increased and that government support for suppliers of staple food and prepared food will be preferable.

Published: June 2023

Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Wats.) is primarily found in fallow and cultivated fields throughout Kansas (KS). Previously, we reported that the effective dose of dicamba for 50% control (ED50) of a 10-30 cm tall A. palmeri accession from KS (KSP) during the fallow-year of a wheat-corn-fallow rotation (WCF) ranged between 40.4 to 283.5 g ae ha-1 Here, we investigated corn (Zea mays L.) plant density effects on grain yield and the KSP response to dicamba in the corn-year of the WCF rotation. The experiments used a randomized complete block design with four replicates and a split-plot arrangement of treatments. Main plots consisted of corn planted at five densities (49,400; 61,700; 74,100; 86,400 and 98,800 plants ha-1) and sub-plots consisted of six doses of dicamba [(70, 140, 210, 280, 420, and 560 g ae ha-1) applied near V6], a weedy-check, and a weed-free check. In general, acceptable grain yield and KSP control with dicamba doses < 560 g ae ha-1 were only achieved when corn was planted at a density ≥ 74,100 plants ha-1. Based on the ED50 estimates, the KSP required 4.4-8.2% less dicamba for height and biomass reduction as corn plant density increased from 49,400 to 98,800 plants ha-1. Conversely, the amount of dicamba required for 50% reduction of KSP density increased 45.1% from 144.4 to 209.6 g ae ha-1 as corn plant density increased from 49,400 to 98,800 plants ha-1, respectively. Taken together, this study shows that integration of high-density corn planting with dicamba is a cost-effective tool for controlling A. palmeri. However, resistance mitigation and a season-long control of this species cannot be achieved without the integration of other more diversified and robust strategies that include the use of preemergence fb postemergence herbicide programs that overlap residuals with cultural, biological, and mechanical weed control tactics.

Published: June 2023

The Neotropical brown stink bug, Euschistus heros (F.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), is an important pest that damages soybean, especially in the central-west region of Brazil. The effect of insect growth regulator insecticides on fourth-instar nymphs and adults of the neotropical brown stink bug was evaluated under laboratory and greenhouse conditions, respectively. In the laboratory, the insecticides (doses in g a.i. ha-1) novaluron (20.0 and 40.0), teflubenzuron (26.2 and 52.5), and lufenuron (20.0 and 40.0), in addition to the control (water), were tested on fourth-instar nymphs of E. heros and their development were followed to adulthood. Mortality, number of adults with and without deformities, and fecundity were determined. In a greenhouse, the effects of the same insecticides on the adult of the stink bug were evaluated by determining the fecundity and viability of the eggs laid. The fourth-instar nymphs of E. heros, when exposed to either dose of the tested insecticides presented mortality and insects with deformations, as well as reduced fecundity of females that reached adulthood. In the trial with adult E. heros, all tested insecticides reduced stink bug fecundity. In the same way, the viability of the produced eggs was reduced in all the chemical treatments, except for novaluron at the lowest dose tested, in which egg viability did not differ from the control treatment. Based on the obtained results, one can infer that the growth-regulator insecticides evaluated, although usually more suitable for the control of caterpillars, can interfere negatively in the development and reproduction of the neotropical brown stink bug, thus constituting a complementary alternative for the management of this pest.

Epistemology of Advaita Vedanta
Authors: Ahmed Fakhre Alam Shaikh Zeeshan Ahmed Fakhre Alam , Gadade Dr. Narayan Shankar
Published: June 2023

This present research work is about Epistemology of Vedanta particularly about Advait Vedanta and how epistemology and metaphysics are interconnected. Epistemology is one of the branch of philosophy that investigates the origin, structure, types, sources, method and validity of knowledge. Every system of Indian philosophy has its own epistemology. Epistemology and metaphysics are inter-related. Metaphysics is one of the main branch of philosophy. Every Indian school has its own metaphysics. Metaphysics deals with questions regarding reality like what is reality? whether it is material or spiritual? what exists? is the world real or not? out of what substance this world is made? whether reality is one, two or many? Etc. What then is the epistemology of Vedanta? Epistemology of any school of Indian philosophy is based upon its metaphysical views regarding reality. Therefore it is important that first of all we must know the metaphysics of Vedanta specially Advait Vedanta of Sri Shankaracharya. Metaphysics tells us what exist and epistemology tells us how we can know that. In this way epistemology serves the role of instrument for knowing metaphysical realities. Metaphysics comes first then comes epistemology.

People with disabilities often get low social stigma in the social environment. Persons with disabilities are often marginalized from the general public, this is because persons with disabilities are considered to lack abilities that are equal to non-disabled people. As people with disabilities, they also have the same rights as society in general, namely the right to get access to education, access to infrastructure and access to other public services that can be accessed easily. but on the other hand until now there are still many persons with disabilities who still do not get their rights. one of them is the right to get access to infrastructure such as road access, easy access to open facilities, this is caused by several factors, one of which is the design made on infrastructure that is less accessible for persons with disabilities. in this study aims to see how accessibility is fulfilled, especially in public facilities provided to persons with disabilities in the city of Jember. This research method uses descriptive qualitative using social construction theory. As for data collection in research through field observations and also interviews besides that it is also supported by literature studies. The results obtained in this study show that public facilities for blind persons with disabilities in the city of Jember are still not friendly for blind persons with disabilities to access.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the diaphragmatic dysfunction in critically ill non-intubated patients admitted to respiratory critical care unit with acute respiratory failure.

Methods: This was a prospective study conducted on 200 mechanically ventilated patients. The following data were collected: demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements. Disease severity and hemodynamics. In addition, ICU length of stay, duration mechanical ventilation, outcome and duration of hospital stay.  Besides, parameters of MV like (PaO2 / FiO2 Ratio), and respiratory rate were noticed. The laboratory workup included arterial blood gases, Na+, K+, Mg++, Ca++, PH, PCO2, HCO3-. The ultrasound was performed before and after weaning and included the diaphragmatic excursion and diaphragmatic thickness traction. The patients were split into two categories regarding their reaction to weaning attempts: Category A represented successful weaning. Category B represented unsuccessful weaning followed by reintubation and mechanically ventilated.

Results: The weaning success was reported for 123 patients (61.5%) and mortality reported for 28 patients (14.0%). Weaning success was associated with male gender, younger age and slightly higher BMI. Obstructive airway disease showed significant increase in success than failure (25.2% vs 11.7% respectively). Weaning failure was significantly associated increased septic shock and pneumonia. The muscle thickness in inspiration was significantly increased in success than failure (25.56 vs 24.08 respectively). DE before weaning was the most sensitive indicator at cut-off value > 15 followed by DE after weaning at cutoff value >17; while DTF after weaning was more sensitive than DTF before weaning (93.55% and 80.65% respectively) at cutoff points > 20.4 and > 18.5, respectively.

Conclusion: Assessment of DTF and DE by diaphragm ultrasound is an easy to obtain new weaning index that can be a bedside method in clinical practice with promising predictors of weaning success or failure before and after weaning.
Policização da identidade profissional dos agentes penitenciários: para além do controle disciplinar e da segurança prisional
Authors: Dos Reis Washington Pereira da Silva , Arguello Katie Silene Cáceres
Published: June 2023

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo descrever algumas características específicas da função inerente ao cargo de agente penitenciário tendo como marco teórico central da argumentação a tese de doutorado do sociólogo Pedro Rodolfo Bodê de Moraes. A partir da inovadora metodologia que Pedro Bodê adotou para descrever a identidade profissional dos agentes penitenciários investigados durante sua pesquisa de campo no sistema penitenciário paranaense da década de 1990 busca-se determinar algumas consequências que a Emenda Constitucional n. 104/2019 acarretou no modo de execução da função do cargo que os ex-agentes penitenciários passaram a exercer. No caso do presente texto, a reflexão está delimitada ao advento da Lei Complementar n. 245/2022 que regulamentou as disposições constitucionais da referida EC no Estado do Paraná, resultando naquilo que o autor entende como uma reconfiguração policizada da função pública que os ex-agentes penitenciários exerciam no sistema penitenciário. Para tanto se propôs o autor destacar a inconsciência de classe da categoria profissional objeto do texto.

Esse estudo buscou descrever o processo de implementação do Planejamento Estratégico no Poder Judiciário do Estado de Rondônia - PE/PJRO, que se deu de forma participativa, conduzido pelos profissionais das áreas meio e fim da própria organização, realizado para atingir melhorias na operacionalização das estratégias, metas e objetivos organizacionais. O referencial teórico tratou de relações entre pessoas e organização, processo de mudanças, desafios da competência organizacional, visão integrada e modelo de gestão na administração pública. A abordagem da pesquisa foi qualitativa e a coleta de dados foi realizada através de aplicação de questionário diretamente aos quatro magistrados da cúpula diretiva e vinte e seis membros de diretoria de Departamento e de Divisão, universo da pesquisa. Os principais objetivos foram: identificar as estratégias de operacionalização do PE do PJRO; verificar o comprometimento dos servidores, diretores, magistrados e alta direção; avaliar a comunicação existente no PJRO para o alcance dos objetivos estabelecidos no PE/PJRO. Finalmente, ao estabelecer um paralelo entre teoria e prática, constatou-se dificuldades de natureza gerencial, cultural e política na organização para a efetividade do Plano Estratégico Organizacional, porém com perspectiva de superação. Verificou-se, também, não existir um modelo de gestão a ser seguido, mas com a possibilidade de se construir um modelo adequado à realidade organizacional, orientado para a velocidade das mudanças que estão ocorrendo na área da administração pública e que justificam a implementação do Planejamento Estratégico no Poder Judiciário Rondoniense.
