Published: September 2023

The present study was conducted on fifteen she-dogs presented to the Department of Veterinary Gynaecology and Obstetrics, CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya (CSKHPKV), Palampur for determination of mating time. Serum progesterone was estimated from the blood sample collected in the clot activator by cephalic venepuncture from she-dogs during the proestrus and estrus stages. The objective of the study was to establish a correlation between epithelial cells proportion (%) in vaginal epithelium with serum progesterone concentration (ng/mL) during proestrus, early estrus, and mid to late estrus in she-dogs. A significant positive correlation (r= 0.74; p<0.01) between cornified cells and progesterone concentration was recorded during mid to late estrus whereas the correlation was non-significantly negative (p>0.05) for non-cornified cells (r= -0.7408 to -0.5807). Also, the cornified cell proportion was significantly higher (p<0.01) during mid to late estrus as compared to proestrus and early estrus. In conclusion, the present study validated the statistical association between cornified vaginal epithelial cells and serum progesterone concentration during mid to late estrus.

A seven-year-old Marwari mare that was routinely used in semen collection programme was mismated by a fertile stallion. The mare was active and alert and all the clinical and hematological parameters were observed to be normal at the time of examination of pregnancy. Rectal examination of the mare through ultrasonography on day 15 revealed an embryonic vesicle confirming the pregnancy. Initially, the pregnancy was tried to terminate with prostaglandins and prostaglandins in combination with oxytocin, but, the pregnancy persisted and the levels of progesterone (P4) were observed to be elevated. Manual crushing for pregnancy termination was also tried but proved unsuccessful. Uterine lavage by infusing the weak iodine solution in combination with Ringer’s lactate helped in flushing out the conceptus and the levels of P4 were also observed to decrease after the expulsion and the uterus was also found to be devoidof any fluid. The mare showed uneventful recovery and exhibited regular cycles later on and did not show up any abnormalities in conceiving in the consecutive cycles.

Published: September 2023

The present study was conducted to analyse the serum trace minerals (copper, cobalt, iron, zinc, manganese and selenium) concentration in postpartum anestrus buffaloes. A total of 24 postpartum anestrus buffaloes were randomly selected after taking reproductive history and gynaeco-clinical examination 10 days apart. These 24 animals were divided into four groups; Group A (Ovsynch), Group B (Heatsynch) and Group C (CIDR plus Ovsynch) and Control group (no treatment) each containing six animals. Blood sample was collected on day 0, 7, 9 and 10 of treatment and serum was analysed for various trace minerals. The mean serum copper level (µg/ml) increased significantly (p<0.01) from day 0 to day 7, 9 and 10 in group A, B and C. The mean serum cobalt concentration increased significantly (p<0.05) from day 0 to day 7, 9 and 10 in group A, B and C. Serum iron concentration increased significantly (p<0.05) from day 0 to day 9 and 10 except on day 7 in group A, B and C and on day 9 in group A. The mean zinc level (µg/ml) increased significantly (p<0.05) in group B and C on day 9 and 10 except day 7. The serum manganese concentration on day 0 increased significantly (p<0.01) to day 9 and 10, the value on day 0 was also found significant from day 7 in group C. The mean serum selenium, the value on day 0 increased significantly (p<0.01) to day 7, 9 and 10 in group A, B and C except the value on day 7 in group B. Thus, it could be concluded that deficiency of copper, iron, zinc and selenium either alone or in combination could be responsible for anestrus condition. By improving the trace minerals status, fertility can be improved in buffaloes.

Authors: Singh Narinder , Singh Prahlad , Singh Khushpreet , Kumar Ajeet
Published: September 2023

The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Lugol’s iodine (Intrauterine) and gentamicin (parenteral and post-AI) in repeat breeding cows (n=54). Repeat breeding cows were divided into two groups based upon the type of cervico-vaginal mucus (CVM) discharge, Group-1, n=28, repeat breeding cows having pus flakes or pus in uterine discharge; Group-2, n=26, repeat breeding cows having apparently clear CVM. For treatment purpose, 14 cows from Group-1 as Group 1(a) were infused 50 ml of 0.5% lugol solution once on day of estrus and 14 cows as Group 1(b) were injected gentamicin @ 5 mg per kg body weight intra muscular twice daily for three days, starting on the day of estrus. In the Group 2(a), repeat breeding cows (n=15) were infused gentamicin @ 2 mg body weight twenty hours post AI. Group 2(b) comprising of 11 cows served as untreated control. Overall conception rate in Group 1(a) was 72.7% as compared with 60% in Group 1(b) with 1.8 and 2.1 services per conception. Conception rate in repeat breeding cows having apparently normal CVM treated with post AI gentamicin intrauterine infusion didn’t improve as compared to control (40 vs. 36). It was concluded that the intra uterine infusion of lugol’s solution once on day of estrus in repeat breeding cows having purulent vaginal discharge was better in cleaning uterus of uterine infections than parenteral administration of gentamicin for three days

The experiment was conducted to study the effect of chemically treated litter on the welfare parameters of commercial broiler chicken. A total of 144 straight-run day-old commercial broiler chicks were distributed randomly into six treatment groups, each group consisted of four replications, each of 6 chicks. The experiment was conducted in two different seasons, winter and monsoon, each of 6 weeks duration. The treatments included: T1 (control, rice husk as litter material); T2 (rice husk litter treated with alum @ 90 g/sq.ft.), T3 (litter treated with boric acid, H3BO3, @ 24 g/sq.ft.; T4 (litter altered with sodium bisulphate (NaHSO4) @ 25 g/sq.ft.); T5 (litter treated with commercially available probiotic product @ 1 g/ sq.ft); and T6 (litter treated with commercially available Yucca schidigera liquid solution @ 1.0 mL/ sq.ft). The chemical alteration of litter (T2 to T6) was done on the 1st, 15th and 29th days of the experiment period. The footpad percentage was found higher in T2 followed by T6, T3, T4, T5, and T1 in both the seasons. You are advised to check again carefully this statement is not correct , you should be sincere , if you are unable to do yourself , take help from some one it is very tedious for us to cross check every time ) The hock burn percentage was found higher in T2 in both seasons followed by T3, T6, T4, T5, and T1 in winter and by T3, T4, T6, T5, and T1 in monsoon. A higher 0 score percentage indicated improved welfare parameters. In both seasons, there were no blister sores on the breast. Based on the overall result of the present experiment, it can be concluded that the broiler birds reared on rice husk litter material treated or amended with alum @ 90 g/sq.ft had decreased the footpad and hock burn lesions than the control and other treatment groups.

Published: September 2023

The study was conducted on a total of 48 female Wistar rats divided into four groups, each containing 12 rats. Group 1 was control, group  2 was imidacloprid control, group 3 was Withania somnifera control and group 4 was administered with both imidacloprid and Withania  somnifera. The rats of group 3 and 4 were subjected to oral treatment of Withania somnifera (1 gm/kg feed) for a period of 30 days to  measure the protective effect against thyroid toxicity induced by imidacloprid (30 mg/kg body weight/day for 30 days). Hormonal assays  showed a significant (p<0.05) rise in thyroid stimulating hormone and fall in triidothyronine and thyroxine in imidacloprid administered  rats when compared to control. No gross lesions were noticed in thyroid gland. Group 2 thyroid gland sections revealed congestion,  degenerated thyroid follicles with loss of colloid substance, increase in inter-follicular space, atropic follicles, fibrosis, pyknotic nuclei,  detachment of follicular epithelial cells, increase in number of micro-follicles and proliferation of follicular epithelium towards lumen.  Electron microscopy of thyroid gland from group 2 rats revealed significant pathological changes. The degree of lesions was minimal in  group 4 rats when compared to group 2 rats. These results indicate that Withania somnifera is beneficial in ameliorating the imidacloprid  induced thyroid toxicity in rats.

High-cost cooperation directed towards strangers is difficult to explain from an evolutionary perspective. Here, it is argued that by studying the behaviours, motivations, and preferences of real-world high-cost co-operators’ — blood and organ donors — insights can be uncovered into the mechanisms supporting cooperation. In this respect, this article details two novel mechanisms to enhance cooperation in the face of free-riding ‘reactive reluctant altruism’ whereby people help because they do not trust others to help and the ‘Good Shepherd’ effect whereby cooperation is enhanced when people observed others cooperate although the social norm is to free-ride. Finally, it is argued that repeated acts of high-cost cooperation are sustained by a self-selections process based on the reinforcing effect of warm glow

Published: September 2023

In the past years, the Internet of Things has created tremendous changes in various industries, including transportation systems and especially railway signalling systems. One of the issues that is very important in signalling systems is the design of trains speed profiles to control the movement of trains based on the defined headway and line conditions such as other trains positions. Information packet loss is one of the issues that should be considered in the field of Internet of Things and if this issue occurs, effective solutions should be adopted in the system for optimal performance. In this article, a method for generating speed profiles for moving block signalling systems in case of packet loss is proposed and the stability of the system is checked using the proposed method. Finally, we will implement the proposed method on a part of a railway line and examine the results.
Mathematical Strengths and Weaknesses of Preservice Agricultural Education Teachers
Authors: Stripling Christopher T. , Roberts T. Grady , Stephens Carrie A.
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study was to describe the mathematics ability of preservice agricultural education teachers related to each of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) content/process areas and their corresponding sub-standards that are cross-referenced with the National Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources Career Cluster Content Standards. To that end, the preservice teachers were not completely proficient in any of the content/process areas and were below proficiency in all of the corresponding NCTM sub-standards for 4 of the 6 content/process areas. They were proficient in 3 of the 13 NCTM sub-standards, moderately proficient in 4 of the 13 NCTM sub-standards, and not proficient in 6 of the 13 NCTM sub-standards. The results of this study suggest current practices are not sufficient for developing the mathematics content knowledge required for teaching the NCTM sub-standards found within the agricultural education curricula. To prepare preservice teachers for teaching mathematical concepts within the agricultural education curricula, agricultural educators should integrate mathematics subject matter related to the cross-referenced NCTM sub-standards into teacher education coursework, with an emphasis on the 10 NCTM sub-standards in which the preservice teachers were below the proficient level.
Armenians in the Byzantine Empire
Authors: Bromige Toby
Published: September 2023

Armenians in the Byzantine Empire is a new study exploring the relationship between the Armenians and Byzantines from the ninth through eleventh centuries. Utilising primary sources from multiple traditions, the evidence is clear that until the eleventh century Armenian migrants were able to fully assimilate into the Empire, in time recognized fully as Romaioi (Byzantine Romans). From the turn of the eleventh century however, migrating groups of Armenians seem to have resisted the previously successful process of assimilation, holding onto their ancestral and religious identity, and viewing the Byzantines with suspicion. This stagnation and ultimate failure to assimilate Armenian migrants into Byzantium has never been thoroughly investigated, despite its dire consequences in the late eleventh century when the Empire faced its most severe crisis since the rise of Islam, the arrival and settlement of the Turkic peoples in Anatolia.

A lot of busyness in various activities makes a person not prioritizing their basic needs, such as food, especially students who live in boarding houses, whom can even consume several types of instant noodle food in a single day. Consuming instant noodles in large quantities and for a long time causes the accumulation of addictive substances contained in instant food in the body. Thus, many students suffer from stomach ulcers, inflammation and various diseases that attack the digestive system. Counseling about the processing of nutritious food was carried out to a student at the Indonesian University of Education who was happen to be a neighbor of the activity instructor's boarding house. One way to reduce instant noodles is to cook it yourself. The counseling approach used was in the form of eclectic counseling, which was a combination of directive counseling and non-directive counseling approaches. The results of counseling showed that clients can carry out counseling activities well and can apply cooking activities in their daily lives, so they can reduce consuming instant noodles. Therefore, it is hoped that similar activities can be carried out by clients continuously so that clients can reduce consuming instant noodles

This brief communication provides a high-level overview of an EHR system and practices related to high data quality and data hygiene that could contribute to the analysis and interpretation of EHR data for use in patient care and healthcare system administration.
Barriers for Females to Pursue Stem Careers and Studies at Higher Education Institutions (HEI). A Closer Look at Academic Literature
Authors: Tereshchenko Elizaveta , Happonen Ari , Hasheela-Mufeti Victoria
Published: September 2023

Background and context: Even when the modern world is transitioning quickly into the digital age, the gender gap continues to be more acute. Social scientists note the low number of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths (STEM) as a scientific, creative, economic, and innovative potential loss. The importance of women’s participation in technical sciences and technical production is also recognized as a factor for stable social development. Objective and method: A scoping review has been conducted to study females’ reasonings and society-based explanations for females to choose STEM studies at the Higher Education Institutions (HEI) level. The goal is to understand the reasons for the low number of females in STEM careers related to education in STEM and to reveal the underlying phenomenon. Results: The gender attitudes and stereotypes inherent in boy and girl children’s spare time and school life narrow the children's possibilities from what specific education and career direction they can choose. But only a few genetics and physical differences could postulate and explain this status quo. Humans have formed a particular social framework; in the process, we have socialized childhood and education. When choosing a future specialization, the society in which the child grew up, the family that brought him up, and what traditions they invested in are much more important than his gender. Implications: Based on our results, we summarise the scattered knowledge base and utilize the analyzed summary for recommendations to further the development of HEI programs to make them more fitting for both genders and help reduce the gender gap. The universities should cover the achievements of females, more often in their media channels, related to the previously mentioned interest in STEM, based on the presence of a role model. When choosing a university, girls can see a real example and be inspired to study STEM majors.

Published: September 2023

A deepfake is a photo or video of a person whose image has been digitally altered or partially replaced with an image of someone else. Deepfakes have the potential to cause a variety of problems and are often used maliciously. A common usage is altering videos of prominent political figures and celebrities. These deepfakes can portray them making offensive, problematic, and/or untrue statements. Current deepfakes can be very realistic, and when used in this way, can spread panic and even influence elections and political opinions. There are many deepfake detection strategies currently in use but finding the most comprehensive and universal method is critical. So, in this survey we will address the problems of malicious deepfake creation and the lack of universal deepfake detection methods. Our objective is to survey and analyze a variety of current methods and advances in the field of deepfake detection.

Cyberbullying includes the repeated and intentional use of digital technology to target another person with threats, harassment, or public humiliation. One of the techniques of Cyberbullying is sharing bullying memes on social media, which has increased enormously in recent years. Memes are images and texts overlapped and sometimes together they present concepts that become dubious if one of them is absent. Here, we propose a unified deep neural model for detecting bullying memes on social media. In the proposed unified architecture, VGG16-BiLSTM, consists of a VGG16 convolutional neural network for predicting the visual bullying content and a BiLSTM with one-dimensional convolution for predicting the textual bullying content. The meme is discretized by extracting the text from the image using OCR. The perceptron-based feature-level strategy for multimodal learning is used to dynamically combine the features of discrete modalities and output the final category as bullying or nonbullying type. We also create a “bullying Bengali memes dataset” for experimental evaluation. Our proposed model attained an accuracy of 87% with an F1 score of 88%. The proposed model demonstrates the capability to detect instances of Cyberbullying involving Bengali memes on various social media platforms. Consequently, it can be utilized to implement effective filtering mechanisms aimed at mitigating the prevalence of Cyberbullying.

Biología e inteligencia
Authors: Gracia Diego
Published: September 2023

Diego Gracia es catedrático de Historia de la Medicina en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, cátedra en la que sustituyó a uno de sus grandes maestros Pedro Laín Entralgo. En este artículo, como él mismo lo resume en la Introducción, trata el clásico problema de sensibilidad e inteligencia. En un primer apartado recoge la discusión que el filósofo Popper y el neurofisiólogo Eccles tuvieron sobre el tema del Yo y el cerebro; en el segundo eleva el planteamiento al nivel en que lo han manejado las grandes tradiciones filosóficas. Finalmente, de la mano de Zubiri, se enfrenta radicalmente con el problema para superar toda suerte de idealismo en la unidad de la inteligencia con la sensibilidad.
