Published: August 2023

Objective: Impaired ankle dorsiflexion in hemiparesis may be treated with ankle-foot orthosis or functional electrical stimulation. Semi-implanted selective functional electrical stimulation uses independent stimulations of deep and superficial peroneal nerves. The aim of this study was to compare gait kinematics using ankle-foot orthosis or semi-implanted selective functional electrical stimulation over 6 months in hemiparesis.Methods: Subjects with chronic hemiparesis, randomized into ankle-foot orthosis or semi-implanted selective functional electrical stimulation groups, underwent comfortable gait analysis without and with device OFF and ON, before, and 3 and 6 months after treatment onset. The effects of condition, visit and group on gait kinematics (analysis of variance; ANOVA) were analysed.Results: A total of 27 subjects were included (ankle-foot orthosis, n = 13; semi-implanted selective functional electrical stimulation, n = 14). The only between-group difference in changes from OFF to ON conditions was a deteriorated ankle dorsiflexion speed with ankle-foot orthosis at month 6 (condition*group, p = 0.04; ankle-foot orthosis, –60%, p = 0.02; semi-implanted selective functional electrical stimulation, non significant). Both groups pooled, from OFF to ON gait speed (+ 0.07 m/s; + 10%), cadence (+ 4%), step length (+ 6%) and peak ankle dorsiflexion (+ 6°) increased, and peak ankle inversion (–5°) and peak knee flexion (–2°) decreased (p < 0.001); finally, peak knee flexion in the OFF condition increased (+ 2°, p = 0.03).Conclusion: Semi-implanted selective functional electrical stimulation and ankle-foot orthosis similarly impacted gait kinematics in chronic hemiparesis after 6 months of use. Ankle dorsiflexion speed in swing deteriorated markedly with ankle-foot orthosis.
LAY ABSTRACTAfter a central nervous system injury, walking disorders are associated with ankle dorsiflexion and foot eversion in the paretic limb during the swing phase. Movement of the ankle can be partially corrected with ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) or functional electrical stimulation (FES). The semi-implanted selective FES (SIS-FES) is an advanced FES device using independent stimulations of deep and superficial peroneal nerves, to separately control movements of ankle dorsiflexion, hallucis extension and foot eversion, and to optimize FES-associated walking improvements. This study compared walking using AFO or SIS-FES over 6 months in hemiparesis. A total of 27 patients with chronic hemiparesis, randomized into AFO or SISFES groups, underwent comfortable walking analysis without and with device OFF and ON, before, and 3 and 6 months after treatment onset. SIS-FES and AFO similarly improved walking speed, cadence, step length, ankle dorsiflexion and foot eversion, while ankle dorsiflexion speed in swing markedly deteriorated with AFO.

Published: August 2023

A field experiment on finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.) and amaranth ( Amaranth spp.) intercropping was carried out for two consecutive years during kharif season of 2016 and 2017 at  College of Forestry, Ranichauri, Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India to identify the most promising intercropping systems for improving productivity of  cropping system followed in rainfed hills of Uttarakhand. Seven treatments consist of T1: Sole finger millet, T2: Sole Amaranth, T3: Finger millet+Amaranth (4:1) T4: Finger millet+Amaranth (90:10), T5: Finger millet+Amaranth (85:15), T6: Finger millet+Amaranth (80:20), T7: Farmer’s practice of Finger millet+Amaranth (60:40) was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications. Finger millet + Amaranth (90:10) i.e., T4, produced 58.8% higher finger millet grain equivalent yield (FMEY) over farmer’s practice (T7) of finger millet and amaranth (60:40) and 27.7% higher than the sole amaranth ( T2). The significantly higher finger millet straw equivalent yield was recorded in sole FM (T1) than farmers practice (T7) and was statistically on par with finger millet+amaranth (4:1) (T3) and finger millet+amaranth (90:10) (T4) However, highest land equivalent ratio (1.12), net returns (Rs. 31366 ha-1) and benefit cost: ratios (2.30) were also recorded with (T4) finger millet+ amaranth (90:10 ratio). The lowest benefit cost ratio (1.12) was registered in (T7) farmer’s practice. Therefore line sowing of finger millet+amaranth (90:10 ratios) would be more beneficial than the mixed cropping in rainfed hills of Uttarakhand.

Published: August 2023

A field experiment was conducted during June–February, 2019–20 and 2020–21 to evaluate the impact of tillage and rice herbicides on weed growth, nutrient removal by weeds and the productivity of residual yellow sarson under rice–yellow sarson cropping. Two tillage system viz. zero tillage (ZT–ZT) and conventional tillage (CT–CT) in main plot and six herbicide combinations [oxadiargyl at 90 g ha-1 followed by (fb) bispyribac-sodium at 25 g ha-1, penoxsulam+cyhalofop-butyl at 180 g ha-1, oxadiargyl at 90 g ha-1 fb penoxsulam+cyhalofop-butyl at 180 g ha-1, fenoxaprop-p-ethyl+ethoxysulfuron at 90+15 g ha-1, oxadiargyl at 90 g ha-1 fb fenoxaprop-p-ethyl+ethoxysulfuron at 90+15 g ha-1 and pendimethalin at 1000 g ha-1 fb bispyribac-sodium at 25 g ha-1] along with unweeded and weed free check were assigned in sub plot in rice. Under ZT–ZT, the nutrient removal by weeds was found to be less, while, yellow sarson removed (uptake) greater amount of nutrients besides producing better growth attributes and yield as compared to those under CT–CT. Zero tillage (ZT–ZT) recorded 37.0 and 37.3% higher seed and stick yield of yellow sarson as compared to CT–CT. The herbicides applied in rice had no carryover effect on the growth and yield of the yellow sarson. However, oxadiargyl fb fenoxaprop-p-ethyl+ethoxysulfuron and oxadiargyl fb penoxsulam+cyhalofop-butyl were found to be better to control weeds in rice (92-95% Weed control efficiency) compared to other herbicide combinations (21–91%). Hence, the ZT–ZT system with oxadiargyl at 90 g ha-1 fb fenoxaprop-p-ethyl+ethoxysulfuron at 90+15 g ha-1 and oxadiargyl at 90 g ha-1 fb penoxsulam+cyhalofop-butyl at 180 g ha-1 appeared to be the best option for managing weeds, reducing nutrient loss and obtaining higher yield of yellow sarson under rice–yellow sarson sequence.

Published: August 2023

Since times immemorial, mosquito borne diseases have proved to be a great menace to the human population. Their severe clinical manifestations and high mortality contribute to their deadly status. Japanese encephalitis (JE), is one such mosquito borne viral disease mainly prevalent in Southeast Asia including India, particularly in the state of Assam. It mainly affects the central nervous system, resulting in various neurological and locomotor disorders and change in mental status. Seizures are also observed, although they are more common in children. JE is caused by a virus of the Flaviviridae family, transmitted by a Culicine mosquito, Culex tritaeniorynchus. Pigs are considered to be the amplifier hosts. Throughout the years, JE has become endemic in many districts of Assam affecting many lives in the outbreaks that occur each year, more particularly in the rural and agricultural areas. Assam’s climactic conditions, agricultural habits and patterns, and the lifestyle of its population play a major role in the epidemiology of the disease. With the establishment of JE surveillance and vaccination programmes by the government, the JE incidence rate has decreased. However, outbreaks of JE still continue to occur, often with serious complications and a high mortality. This concise review article gives a short summarization of Japanese encephalitis along with its history, epidemiology, vector and host biology, pathology, clinical observations and immunoprophylaxis with respect to the state of Assam, India.

An experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2017–18 and 2018–19 at Uttar Banga Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India to study the effect of sowing time and variety on the growth, yield and quality of bush type vegetable French bean. The treatments were laid out in factorial randomised block design with three replications by keeping sowing time (S1: 1st November, S2:16th November, S3:1st December, S4: 16th December and S5: 31st December) as a first factor and varieties (V1: Falguni, V2: Arka Komal and V3: Nandini) as a second factor. Results revealed that, among the varieties the highest plant height (36.15 cm) , pod length (13.75 cm), pod width (1.13 cm), individual fresh pod weight (5.20 g), yield  plant-1 (106.64 g) and yield ha-1 (16.36 t ha-1) was recorded in Arka Komal. However, the number of primary branches, number of pods plant-1 and protein content were found to be lowest in the same variety.  Regarding the different sowing time, pod length (13.95 cm), individual fresh pod weight (5.47 g), number of pods per plant (27.64), yield plant-1 (136.22 g), yield per ha (20.86 t ha-1) and protein content (1.89%) was highest in plants sown on 16th November, per contra the yield curtailed as the sowing time was pushed back from 16th November to 31st December. On the strength of above findings, it can be inferred that Arka Komal scheduled for sowing on 16th November could be an ideal for cultivation in the Terai zone of West Bengal.

Six healthy Mithun animals being reared in the shade and were not exposed to sunlight in the morning hours were termed as control group (T1). The same animals were exposed to sunlight from 6.00 am to 2.00 pm to induce heat stress and were termed as the heat stressed group (T2). The samples for observations on physiological, blood constituents and gene expression were recorded at 6.00 am (T1) and 2.00 pm (T2). The values for physiological characteristics, viz., rectal temp (100.04±0.26 vs 103.34±0.20), respiration rate per minute (26.67±0.52 vs 33.00±0.74) and pulse rate per minute (42.44±1.02 vs 59.83±0.84) were significantly (P<0.05) higher in the heat stressed group than non stress group. The values for blood constituents viz., glucose (50.82±1.27 vs 60.09±1.46), SGOT (44.91±0.89 vs 51.18±1.08), SGPT (44.17±0.87 vs 49.92±0.87), cortisol (712.48±0.03 vs 712.49±0.02) and THI (77.56±0.39 vs 81.42±3.40) were also significantly (p<0.05) higher in the heat stress group than non stress group. The values for expression of HSP 70 gene (28.24 ±0.15 vs 28.88±0.59) and HSP 90 gene (36.13±1.24 vs  35.87±1.90) were also significantly (p<0.05) higher in the heat stressed group of Mithun than non stress group. The results of the study revealed that summer heat stress had a significant effect in Mithun.

The experiment was carried out during July, 2021 to November, 2021 at Botany Garden, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, Karnataka, India to estimate genetic variability, correlation and path coefficients for various yield and its component characters using 45 F1 hybrids of cowpea derived from 10×10 half-diallel crosses and their ten parents. The genetic variability studies revealed the presence of sufficient variability between the studied genotypes for yield traits. High GCV, PCV, heritability and GAM were observed for number of pods plant-1 and grain yield plant-1, indicating that operating selection for these traits in the material would be fruitful owing to their additive gene action. Further, the correlation studies revealed that grain yield plant-1 was positively and significantly associated with the traits number of pods plant-1, pod length, number of seeds pod-1 and 100 seed weight at both genotypic and phenotypic levels depicting the scope of indirect selection for yield through these associated characters. Phenotypic and genotypic path coefficient analysis revealed that number of pods plant-1 recorded highest positive direct effect on yield plant-1 and also highest indirect effect on yield plant-1 via pod length and number of seeds pod-1. These results indicated that, grain yield in cowpea can be improved by improving these significantly associated component traits.

The study was conducted at Zoonoses Research Laboratory, Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India during the period from January 2017 to December 2021. The study aimed to investigate the seroepidemiology of canine leptospirosis in Tamil Nadu; its associated risk factors and characterize leptospirosis in dogs. The seroprevalence was estimated by microscopic agglutination test and leptospira isolates were characterized by biochemical and molecular methods. A seroreactivity of 36% either to single serogroup or multiple serogroups of leptospira was noticed among the dogs.  The serogroup Australis (47.5%), Autumnalis (33.5%), Canicola (24.2%), Pomona (13.4%), Tarassovi (11.2%) and Grippotyphosa (9.4%) were predominantly noticed during all the period. A seroreactivity of 38.7% in animals with an age above three years showed age-related susceptibility, but there was no significant difference among sex. A high proportion of seroreactivity was observed in Mongrels 39.3% when compared with other breeds.  Two isolated leptospira strains have been identified as Leptospira interrogans serogroup Canicola. The prevalent serogroups recorded in this geographical region emphasize the need for the inclusion of such a serovar in the vaccine to prevent leptospirosis in dogs and zoonosis.

The present study was carried out in Kandi region of Punjab, India during September, 2021 aimed to study entrepreneurial behavior and constraints faced by farmers in dairy. The entrepreneurs are key persons who promote economic growth and technological changes. The development of entrepreneurship is directly related to the socio-economic development of the society. Entrepreneurship in dairy helps farmers to increase their income or to get additional income from this important allied sector of agriculture. Total 120 farmers’ respondents were selected from four villages. The primary data were collected through pre-tested structure interview schedule. Multistage sampling was used to select respondents. The study revealed that like being own boss is important entrepreneurial behavior of overall farmers. Lack of business skills and innovativeness are important entrepreneurial behavior of marginal, small and semi-medium and large farmers respectively. Lack of business skills had highest mean score 3.77 with t-value 9.58 and p-value<.0001 which was found to be significant at 1% level of significance. Non-availability of certified veterinarian followed by lack of education and training was the important constraints faced by farmers in dairy. Innovativeness was important entrepreneurial behavior of semi-medium and large dairy farmers. There are lots of scopes for dairy entrepreneurship in Kandi region of Punjab. Proper training and education are required to the farmers mainly for marginal and small farmers for dairy entrepreneurship.

The present study was conducted at the Kulumsa Soil and Plant Analysis Laboratory, Ethiopia from January 2021 to January 2022 to identify the appropriate storage duration of soil samples and recommend good storage materials for soil laboratories. The effects of soil sample storage on the pH, TN (%), OC (%), and available phosphorus were studied for 12 months. The highest and lowest concentrations of pH, TN (%), OC (%), and available phosphorus at the Kulumsa site were: 6.29 and 5.82; 0.17 and 0.12%; 2.93 and 1.70%; 22.53 and 10.88 respectively. At the Arsi Robe site, the highest and lowest concentrations of pH, TN (%), OC (%), and available phosphorus were 6.54 and 5.97, 0.16 and 0.12%, 3.02 and 1.00%, and 19.09 and 10.39 respectively. The highest and lowest concentrations of pH, TN (%), OC (%), and available phosphorus (mg kg1) at the Dera site were 9.14 and 8.47; 0.11, 0.07%; 4.36, 1.04%; and 111.85 and 75.37 respectively. Soil samples were stored in three storage containers with replications. The storage materials a card box with a plastic bag and a polyethylene bottle have not made any significant difference in the results of a soil sample stored under laboratory. A card box with a plastic bag was the appropriate material for soil sample storage for long-term analysis. However, based on the cost effectiveness and availability of the material to be purchased for the soil storage condition, the polyethylene plastic bag was the best option for soil sample storage under laboratory conditions.
A Review on the Influence of Noise on the Welfare of Dogs
Authors: Raghy R. , Jacob Ninan , Tamizhkumaran J.
Published: August 2023

The purpose of ears is to receive and transmit sound information to the brain. All ears have a dynamic functioning range but if sounds are excessively loud, it may harm the auditory system whereas those that are too low in intensity are simply not processed. One-third of canine population suffers from noise aversion. Dogs are frequently startled by loud noises like gunshots, thunder, or fireworks. Research indicates that some dog breeds are significantly less likely to experience loud noise phobia. Older dogs are more prone to react emotionally negatively to loud noises. Extreme phobic reactions can result from a single traumatic encounter as well as recurrent exposure to frightful stimuli. While phobic responses might include panic, acute agitation, and/or destructive activity, mild fear responses can include panting, pacing and hiding attempts. Sudden, loud noises are one of the most common triggers for fearful behaviours in dogs and many companion dogs suffer from noise sensitivity. This review deals with physiology of canine ear, breed differences in hearing capacities, frequencies of sound that affect dogs and the physiological and behavioural responses of dogs to noise stress. The effect of music on canine welfare and strategies for noise abetment is also elucidated. To protect the wellbeing of dogs and to limit the emergence of anxiety-related behavioural stress issues, a better understanding of interpreting canine responses to noise is imperative.

Introduction: Schizophrenia is one of the most serious mental illnesses while it is one of the highest expenditures of the national health system. Furthermore, schizophrenia is indissolubly linked to smoking.
Understanding the pathogenesis of the disease will give health workers the knowledge that they need in order to treat effectively this chronic disease that tortures thousands of people.
Aim: The aim of this review study is to find out the connection between smoking and schizophrenia as well as the pathogenetic pathway that leads on to manifesting people of general population the schizophrenia
disease.
Methodology: A literature review was conducted in electronic sources. Studies in Greek and English were searched in the PubMed, Scopus and ScienceDirect databases.
Results: The literature review has shown that people who suffer from schizophrenia use smoking of tobacco as a treatment in order to defeat the side effects of the drugs that used to cure the disease. In addition,
smoking affects significantly the way that drugs act; that is why smokers who suffer from schizophrenia are not treated effectively and they need reassessment of the therapeutic plan in order to achieve the intended
goal. Finally, smoking increases the risk of getting offspring with schizophrenia.
Conclusions: The healthcare professional contribute to the healing process while they play their parts to prevent serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. Therefore the updating of the general population
about smoking and the reconsideration of the way that healthcare professional treat their patients will give us the opportunity to find the best way to heal schizophrenia while people who suffer from schizophrenia will

Digital painting is a result of the process of making digital images/paintings using digital brushes that can produce lines. This painting has become a modern art that can be disseminated through the internet. However, with the ease of disseminating information, digital artwork on the internet is very easy to fake or steal. To solve this problem, a system was created to secure digital painting files using the Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA) encryption and decryption method. RSA has the basis for encryption and decryption, namely the concepts of prime numbers and modulo arithmetic. Both keys are integers. Based on the research conducted, digital painting files are converted into text and then will go through an encryption process by RSA into text files. Furthermore, to restore the encryption results, the decryption process is carried out with the private key. The weakness of the current system is its inability to process large image files.

Marketing has reached the holistic concept era where a business is acting as single entity not to ignore any potential segment. Hence, companies look for profitable segments and strategies holistically for a sustainable business performance . The Millennial are considered as the largest buyers & influencers of new and proven commodities worldwide. This is the generation that have taken over the workforces and are the strongest economic force segment to recognize. This generation is vulnerable on choices , rational/ less emotional on buying approach, evaluative on advantages, benefits and disadvantages , with great buying power and sources of information. So making them to remain associated with the brand, making them to do repeat buys, control their rationality and evaluative approach is not the easy task. Marketers need to do something strategically to “hold” them to buy their products and remain engaged . Companies believe that the only thing this rational, non emotional, evaluative, money minded customer could be handled is to make him “fearful about his health, safety & security. Create threats to these sensitive aspects and then offer solution for those , he will believe that you care for him the most. In recent years this strategy has come up as Fear Psychosis which is an extension of emotional Psychosis in marketing context . It is the only thing seems to be working on this generation. Fear-based marketing influences the audiences’ psychology and urges them to take action to minimize that fear. This strategy has helped businesses to keep the customers engaged with the brand and believe that company cares for him better than others.
A Bandwidth-Efficient High-Performance RTL-Microarchitecture of 2D-Convolution for Deep Neural Networks
Authors: Nguyen Hung Kiem , Tran Long Quoc
Published: August 2023

The computation complexity and huge memory access bandwidth of the convolutional layers in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) require specialized hardware architectures to accelerate CNN’s computations while keeping hardware costs reasonable for area-constrained embedded applications. This paper presents an RTL (Register Transfer Logic) level microarchitecture of hardware- and bandwidth-efficient high-performance 2D convolution unit for CNN in deep learning. The 2D convolution unit is made up of three main components including a dedicated Loader, a Circle Buffer, and a MAC (Multiplier-Accumulator) unit. The 2D convolution unit has a 2-stage pipeline structure that reduces latency, increases processing throughput, and reduces power consumption. The architecture proposed in the paper eliminates the reloading of both the weights as well as the input image data. The 2D convolution unit is configurable to support 2D convolution operations with different sizes of input image matrix and kernel filter. The architecture can reduce memory access time and power as well as execution time thanks to the efficient reuse of the preloaded input data, while simplifying hardware implementation. The 2D convolution unit has been simulated and implemented on Xilinx's FPGA platform to evaluate its superiority. Experimental results show that our design is 1.54× and 13.6× faster in performance than the design in [7] and [8], respectively, at lower hardware cost without using any FPGA’s dedicated hardware blocks. By reusing preloaded data, our design achieves a bandwidth reduction ratio between 66.4% and 90.5%.

In Indonesian waterways, ferries are a kind of transportion used to move both people and cargo. However, as was the case with the sinking of the KMP Saluang, transportation will not always go as planned. The problems to be discussed: how is the carrier should be held accountable for the sinking of the KMP Saluang under the terms of Law No. 17 of 2008 concerning Shipping and how is the carrier accountable for compensating the owner of the goods for the sinking of the KMP Saluang. This research is descriptive in character, normative, and uses both secondary and primary data. It also employs qualitative analysis and deductive conclusion-drawing. The study's findings, analysis, and recommendations show that, in accordance with Article 41 paragraph (1) sub-b of the Shipping Law, the carrier should be held accountable for the destruction of the goods sent by the sender of the goods and temporarily revoke the Seaman Expertise Certificate for a period one month. The Presumption of Liability system should be used by the carrier's responsibility system to provide recompense to the owner of the products, although in this instance the proof was not carried out by the carrier.

The purpose of this study is to examine the grammatical cohesive devices used in the recount text writing of bilingual students. The cohesive device is crucial because it consists of grammatical and lexical devices that contribute to the writing’s strength and accuracy, as well as its contextual understanding. Twenty bilingual ninth-grade students of a junior high school participated in this study. The students’ recount text writings were used as the main data in this research. The qualitative descriptive method employed in this study to thoroughly assess and describe students’ writing and its’ cohesive device used. The result shows that the bilingual ninth-grade students were able to use grammatical cohesion in their recount text writing. The result revealed the reference is most dominated in 68.42% and the second device is in conjunction with 29.97%. Meanwhile, substitution showed the low rank with 1.61% and the last was ellipsis with 0%. Furthermore, in the reference device category, personal reference becomes the most highly used at 85%, meanwhile in the conjunction category, additive category becomes the most frequent one at 46% as well as nominal substitution at 50% in the substitution device. It was also found that the ninth-grade students of bilingual class can write well using numbers of grammatical cohesive devices even though there was still some monotonous repetition in their writing.  he findings of this study have pedagogical implicature as the need to enhance students’ knowledge of grammatical cohesion device because understanding of cohesiveness is necessary for pertaining to the text’s cohesion and coherence particularly in writing ability.
