Coronaviruses cause mild to severe respiratory infections. The highly contagious SARS-CoV-2 new coronavirus caused a global outbreak of atypical viral pneumonia in late 2019. Acute respiratory distress syndrome, multiple organ failure, respiratory failure, and death can result from the infection. This study aimed to evaluate the possible inhibition activity from numerous medicinal plants' bioactive compounds against three non-structural proteins, namely Nsp1, Nsp2, and Nsp10 of SARS-CoV-2, through the computational study. Molecular docking was performed on the ligands and the target protein. This study investigated multiple criteria, including binding affinity value, location, and chemical interaction. In this present study, we found the top three highest binding affinity values of bioactive compounds against Nisp1, namely cafestol, crocin, and ledene; the top three highest binding affinity values of bioactive compounds against Nisp2, including cafestol, kahweol, and theaflavin 3,3′-digallate; and top three highest binding affinity value of bioactive compounds against Nisp10 namely cafestol, kahweol, and theaflavin-3,3′-digallate. Interestingly, we also found that cafestol, crocin, and theaflavin-3,3’-digallate binds to all target proteins.

Published: March 2023

Using a panel of listed manufacturing companies in Bangladesh, this paper intends to empirically assess the relationship between firm-level governance mechanisms and firm performance using an integrated theoretical framework. For this purpose, data has been compiled from Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE); and published yearly annual reports of particular organizations. The empirical findings of this paper shed light on the impact of ownership structure and board characteristics on its firm’s performance measure by the accounting rate of the return on assets. Although these results are in line with the majority of the literature, this model can still be examined using other proxy measures of firm performance and/or more years of observation. Findings of this study can be useful to managers, investors, and regulators, especially those who want to change their company’s ownership structure and board composition to increase its performance on the stock market.

Authors: Altanbagana Yunden , Naranbaatar Galsandorj
Published: March 2023

Habitat loss and fragmentation are serious threats to biodiversity worldwide. In the different mountain ranges of Mongolia, we evaluated the habitat connectivity of Wapiti, aiming to provide insights for support to population conservation. By using Wapiti occurrence data and seven variables related to climatic, geographic, and anthropogenic factors (human disturbance index), we modeled the habitat suitability using the Maximum Entropy Model (MaxEnt). The corridor design model (Linkage Mapper) was used to identify and evaluate the linkages between core habitats. The MaxEnt models suggest that human disturbance and latitudinal effects associated with climatic variables played the most important and complex role in Wapiti spatial distribution. The ecological corridors of Wapiti were composed of 130 core habitats (CHs) and 386 linkages or least-cost paths (LCPs). The shortest LCPs connecting the core habitats were mapped in the Khentii and Khuvsgul mountain ranges, which was probably due to the higher habitat suitability. In contrast, the longest LCPs were in the Altai and Khangai mountain ranges, where CHs were more fragmented and had the lowest habitat suitability based on MaxEnt modeling. Our study suggests the priority areas for protecting Wapiti and the key locations where the wildlife road crossing structures or animal guidance measures are needed.

Early diagnosis of pregnancy is of utmost importance to optimize profit in pig husbandry. Identifying candidate protein biomarkers for early diagnosis of pregnancy in a non-invasive sample such as saliva may produce a colossallead to accomplish the purpose. Therefore, in this study, comparative salivary proteome profile of day 12 of gestation, representing elongation of blastocysts stage and non-pregnant sows was explored by label-free quantitation (LFQ) based mass spectrometry approach to identify early pregnancy biomarkers. A total of 115 proteins were identified as differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) with significant difference between non-pregnant and early pregnancy groups. Among the DEPs, majority of the proteins (82 out of 115 DEPs) were found to be down-regulated in early pregnancy group (fold change >2) compared to non-pregnant control. Functional classification and pathway analysis of the DEPs revealed involvement of most of the proteins in integrin signalling pathways, blood coagulation, carbohydrate metabolism, oxidative stress response and regulation of protein folding. Few DEPs with higher fold change during early pregnancy such as thioredoxin, heat shock 70 kDa protein 1A, alpha 1-S haptoglobin, and glutathione S-transferase pi 1 may have potential as biomarkers for early pregnancy diagnosis in pigs based on their recognized role in different pregnancy related activities. Overall, our results provide a set of salivary proteins which can be used as potential biomarkers for early pregnancy diagnosis after large scale validation.

Published: March 2023

A baseline survey was carried out to determine the iodine status of goats and its relationship with the levels of soil, water, and fodder samples collected from different agro-climatic zones (sub-tropical, lower, and upper-intermediate) of the Jammu division. A total of 74 blood and 60 milk samples from goats, as well as soil (50), water (50), and fodder (56) samples, were collected. Plasma inorganic iodine (PII), milk inorganic iodine (MII), iodide ion (I-), and thyroid hormone (T3 and T4) levels were measured along with biochemical parameters. The average PII, I-, and MII concentrations of goats from unorganized farms were 55.99±4.56 ng/ml, 1.37±0.11 ppm, and 47.3±5.68 ng/ml compared 74.68±8.40 ng/ml, 1.43±0.11 ppm and 62.01±8.55 ng/ml, respectively from the organized farm. Based on PII level, 71.62% of goats had moderate deficiency (level 50-100 ng/ml) and 28.37% had severe deficiency (level <50 ng/ml). The average levels of iodine in soil and water were 0.24 ppm and 0.06 ppm, respectively. Rabi and kharif fodders showed average iodine levels of 1.25 ppm and 0.37 ppm, respectively. Significant changes were recorded in glucose, HDL and T4 levels. Pearson correlation performed between PII (ng/ml) and biochemical parameters established correlation with T4 (r = -0.465), glucose (r = 0.510), HDL (r = -0.355) and cholesterol (r = 0.271). The study concluded that iodine deficiency is prevalent in the goat population due to lower levels in the environment implying an urgent need for regular supplementation in the diet.

The objective of the experiment was to develop cropping sequence modules for round the year green fodder production for feeding 50 dairy cattle under irrigated conditions in North-West Himalayan region. Various modules were initiated at Research Farm of Instructional Livestock Farm Centre, R.S. Pura, FVSc. & A.H., SKUAST-Jammu during 2016 in an area of 2.5 ha. The experimental data was collected after fully establishing fodder unit during 2017-18 and 2018-19. Five fodder sequences modules viz. Module 1 – Maize+Cowpea-Berseem+Mustard; Module 2- Swankhi, Cowpea, Bajra-Berseem+Oats; Module 3 – Sorghum-oats; Module 4 – perennial module (two perennial grasses and two fodder trees) and Module 5 – azolla (supplemental module) were developed for ensuring supply of quality green fodder round the year to feed 50 dairy animals. The efficiency of modules was adjudged by taking system productivity and economic parameters of fodder and milk yield, and composition parameters for lactation study. Statistical analysis was done with one-way and two-way ANOVA. Among annual crop sequence modules, Module 1 showed highest system productivity, maximum net returns and B:C ratio while among perennial fodder grasses, hybrid napier produced significantly highest system productivity along with maximum net returns and B:C ratio. Among fodder trees, Bauhinia variegate had maximum productivity. Further, lactation studies revealed that highest total milk yield of 12 animals (10 cows and 2 buffaloes) and milk components (10 cows), viz. fat yield, protein yield, lactose yield, SNF yield, etc. were achieved when animals were fed with mixed fodder of maize+cowpea whereas, the highest milk energy was found from those sampled cows which were fed berseem+oats. Thus, under subtropical conditions of Jammu, Maize+Cowpea-Berseem+Mustard module was considered more remunerative based on system productivity and milk parameters followed by perennial fodder and Sorghum-oat module.

A study was undertaken during 2004-05 to 2013-14 to study the influence of different management options including cropping systems on carbon sequestration and soil carbon pools under Typic haplaquoll soil condition. Complete organic management (as per National Programme for Organic Production standards) with supply of 100% nutrient through organic sources, integrated crop management (nutrient and pests) with supply of 50% nitrogen through organic and 50% through inorganic and inorganic crop management with 100% nitrogen through inorganic sources while in sub plots four cropping systems namely Basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-Sesbania, Basmati rice-lentil (Lens culinaris Medic.)-Sesbania, Basmati rice-vegetable pea (Pisum sativum L.)- Sesbania and Basmati rice-Brassica napus- Sesbania cropping system were tested in strip plot design at G B Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. The three main plot treatments consisted of 100% organic, 50% organic + 50% inorganic and 100% inorganic fertilizer. Parameters such as bulk density, soil organic carbon, labile carbon pool, water soluble carbon, dehydrogenase activity were studied in all the treatments besides cropping systems equivalent yield. Bulk density varied from 1.24 to 1.44 Mg/m3 in 0-15 cm soil under different nutrient management practices and the same increased with the increase in depth. Soil organic carbon (SOC) did not vary significantly among different cropping systems in 0-15 cm soil. The soil organic carbon content ranged from 10.70 to 11.13 g/kg under different cropping systems. The labile carbon pools and water soluble carbon content decreased with the increase of soil depth. The labile carbon pool (2450.21 mg/kg), water soluble carbon (21.39 mg/kg) and dehydrogenase activity (319.44 mg TPF/day/g soil) was higher in 0-15 cm soil depth with organic management of basmati rice-wheat- Sesbania systems compared to other systems and management practices. Among the management practice, basmati rice equivalent yield was higher in organic management (7130 kg/ha) in the year 2014. Among the cropping systems, Basmati rice-lentil- Sesbania (green manuring) (7865 kg/ha) system recorded higher equivalent yield compared to other systems. The carbon sequestration (15.36 Mg/ha) was higher in basmati rice-brassica-Sesbania cropping system with organic management practice and the sequestration rate was at par with basmati rice-wheat-Sesbania cropping systems. Therefore, either basmati rice-wheat-sesbania or basmati rice-Brassica napus-Sesbania cropping system with organic or integrated management is better for sequestering higher C in the soil than the present rice-wheat system with inorganic management.

Published: March 2023

Farmer participatory field trials were conducted for assessing the effects of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) technology for the management of major pests of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). The experiment was conducted during March to October, 2016 and 2017 at three locations, viz. Kota Kwanu, Majhgaon Kwanu and Malot Kwanu in Chakrata block of district Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India on two popular, bacterial wilt resistant tomato hybrids, viz. Abhinav and Heamsohna. The various treatments were as follows: T1, seed treatment with Trichoderma + Pseudomonas @ 20 g/kg of seeds: T2, use of FYM @ 100 Q/ha fortified with Trichoderma + Pseudomonas; T3, planting of Abhinav and Heamsohna; T4, weekly hand picking and destruction of leaves, shoots and fruits infected by late blight; T5, staking of plants; T6, four applications of cymoxanil + mancozeb @ 2 g/l at 30, 45, 60- and 75 days after planting; and T7, application of chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 0.3 ml/l at 65-days. Incidence of diseases such as late blight and bacterial wilt, and pests such as fruit borer, Helicoverpa armigera was significantly high in the control plots. The severity of pest and diseases was comparatively more in 2017 than 2016 due to conducive climatic conditions. Maximum yield (410 q and 400 q/ha) was recorded during 2016 and 2017, respectively due to IPM practices combining all possible components as compared to other treatments or control. As a result of enhanced fruit yield, the gross (Rupees 615 000/ha and Rupees 800 000/ha) and net income (Rupees 428 180/ha and Rupees 610 375/ha) were realized during 2016 and 2017, respectively. The cost benefit ratio was also maximum due to combination of all IPM components (1:2.3 and 1:3.22) both during 2016 and 2017, respectively. The IPM strategies combining all possible components proved significantly superior not only in effective management of major diseases and pests but also helped in realizing higher productivity and thereby enhanced income of tomato growers in remote tribal regions of Dehradun, Uttarakhand.

Published: March 2023

A field experiment was carried out at ICAR-Central Arid Zone Research Institute, Jodhpur, Rajasthan from 2011-15 to make senile orchard (33 years old) remunerative again. Trees were headed back from ground level in summer. Out of the numerous shoots emerged, 1-2 shoots were budded with early, mid and late seasonâ€™s cultivar. In subsequent years, inter-cropping was carried out in the ber (Ziziphus maurtitiajna Lam.) alleys with greengram (Vigna radiata L.), pearlmillet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) and senna (Cassia angustifolia) at two alleys spacing, i.e. 6 m and 12 m (plant to plant spacing in both the alleys was 6 m) tested over three ber varieties, viz. Gola, Seb and Umran in split-plot design replicated thrice. The rejuvenated trees attained profitable yield level within three years of rejuvenation. Gola ber recorded highest productivity (57.3 q/ha) followed by Seb and Umran. Amongst intercrops, the productivity of greengram as ber equivalent yield was 1.7 and 4.2 times higher over pearl millet and senna, respectively. Although, wider spacing increased the productivity of intercrops by 24%. But, the total system productivity in wider ber alleys was 50.47% less during first year followed by 30.3, 34.6 and 40% during subsequent years, respectively, compared to 6 m Ã— 6 m spacing. The profitability was also higher under 6 m Ã— 6 m spacing. The ber + greengram system gavehighest net returns (84.79 Ã—103 Rupees/ha) over other. This agri-horti system also maintained the initial soil fertility status even after four crop cycles. Hence, the appropriate strategy should be to introduce intercrops preferably green gram at a recommended spacing (6 m Ã— 6 m) of ber variety Gola for highest system productivity and profitability.

Long-term field experiment on rice commenced in kharif 2006 at Instructional-cum-Research farm of the Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat with integrated nutrient management practices for assessing its impact on yield and nutrient uptake by rice in acid soil. The treatments consisted of T1, absolute control; T2,100% recommended doses (RD) of inorganic NPK; T3, 50% RD of inorganic NP + 100% K + biofertilizers; T4, 50% RD of inorganic NP + 100% K + enriched compost @ 1 tonne/ha; and T5, 25% RD of inorganic NP + 100% K + enriched compost @ 2 tonnes/ha. Results revealed that after 10 years of experiment, grain yield of rice (4.43 t/ha) increased significantly with 100% NPK by 10.8 and 78.6 % over 50% NP+100% K+ bio-fertilizers and control, respectively and it was at par with 25% NP + 100% K+ enriched compost @ 2 t/ha (4.38 t/ha). Whereas, the maximum straw yield (5.18 t/ha) was recorded with 25% NP + 100% K+ enriched compost @ 2 t/ha which was higher significantly over 50% NP and 100% K+ bio-fertilizers (4.63 t/ha) and control (3.08 t/ha), respectively and total nutrient uptake, i.e. N, P, K, Zn, Cu and Ni by rice was significantly higher in 25% RD of inorganic NP + 100% K + enriched compost @ 2 tonnes/ha treatment as compared to recommended dose of fertilizer (100% NPK) in acid soil but total aluminium uptake by rice significantly decreased with the application of reduced doses of NP along with higher dose of enriched compost (2 t/ha). Therefore, aluminium toxicity level in rice plant under acidic condition could be reduced through enriched compost application.

Businesses must retain their clients to remain profitable. The academic field of management marketing considers customer relationship management (CRM) to be best suited to achieve this, whereas communications management focuses more on public relations (PR). The aim of this study is to analyze theories in the two disciplines and derive a theory that integrates CRM and PR client retention frameworks. The framework was then tested in-depth interviews with short-term insurance clients and short-term insurance providers (brokers and direct insurance) in South Africa to obtain perspectives from both parties. The importance of some of the fundamental elements found in the literature is emphasized, the importance of two elements is questioned and it is established that there are three inconsistencies between what providers consider important for clients to retain and what clients consider necessary for them to remain in a relationship with the insurer. This probably explains the many failed client retention attempts of South African brokers and direct insurers. Six new CRM and/or PR elements, not found in the literature, are presented in the article for exploration in future research. To assist client retention in the highly competitive short-term insurance industry, the results are applied to the core principles of Niemann's (2005) SA strategic integrated communication (IC) implementation model. Finally, the authors present an integrated approach to client retention strategy in the South African short-term insurance industry, combining marketing and communication theory.

Authors: Juárez-Santillán Luis Felipe
Published: March 2023

Phytophthora spp, es un vector que provoca una enfermedad conocida como “gomosis” en diversos frutos. En varias regiones del estado de Veracruz se produce limón, con el avance del tiempo se ha ido infectando por la enfermedad mencionada, causada por Phytophthora spp. Es por ello que el objetivo principal de este trabajo es determinar si Trichoderma spp, Bacillus subtilis o H2O2, funcionan como agente de control. Se desarrollaron cuatro tratamientos (Trichoderma al 5%, 10% y 15%; Bacillus subtilis al 5%, 10% y 15%; mezcla de Trichoderma spp y Bacillus subtilis al 2.5%:2.5%, 5%:5%, 7.5%:7.5% respectivamente; y H2O2 al 5%, 10% y 15%) más un control. Los principales resultados indican que la mezcla de Trichoderma spp y Bacillus subtilis, no presentan buenos resultados ante el control de Phytophthora spp; mientras que las dosis de 10% y 15% tanto de H2O2 como de Trichoderma spp, fueron las que presentaron mayor eficiencia ante gomosis, ya que hubo un buen desarrollo de raíz y hoja, además de la aparición de nuevos brotes en la planta; en el tratamiento control, la raíz de las plantas presentaron pudrición y poco follaje. Estos resultados sugieren que Trichoderma spp y H2O2, son adecuados para el control de Phytophthora spp, a nivel foliar y radicular respectivamente. La mezcla de un agente químico inocuo al medio ambiente y un agente biológico resultan prometedores para el control de enfermedades en limón “persa”.

Teaching Ecological Awareness Through Literature: A Case Study of Ghassan Kanafani’s Returning to Haifa
Authors: Onin Abdulkader M. H. , Alfawa'ra Loiy Hamidi Qutaish
Published: March 2023

Theories like Feminism, Marxism and Post-colonialism work on the contextualization of literature. Exponents of these theories promote the employment of such approaches in the field of education in order to raise the students’ awareness towards social and political issues, and help them inculcate and develop the skill of critical reading of literary texts. In the 1990s, a new approach evolved in the domain of literary studies that called for the same task but from a different perspective, i.e. Ecocriticism. Hence, taking Ecocriticism as a theoretical framework, the paper in hand has discussed Ghassan Kanafani’s novella Returning to Haifa with a special focus on the use of nature and environment with their various meanings and connotations in the novella. The paper’s main objective is to contribute in the promotion of Ecocriticism as a tool for critical reading. It also aimed at raising students’ awareness of environmental crises, particularly those caused by conflicts and wars.  The paper has postulated that Ecological awareness would help students to gain better understanding of the consequences of conflicts and to be more cautious in their treatment of the environment around them. After the analysis of Kanafani’s novella, the researcher found that the author attempted to convey messages to the readers through his treatment of nature. Most of these messages lament the loss of the natural elements as well as the human intuitive nature due to wars and conflicts that result in displacement of people and hence the destruction of environment and imbalance in the ecosystem.
BASES NEURALES Y VARIACIONES EPIGENÉTICAS EN EL MALTRATO MATERNO POR NEGLIGENCIA

Published: March 2023

La negligencia materna es un tipo de maltrato infantil, que incluso es más frecuente que el abuso sexual y físico. A partir de diversas investigaciones, se ha identificado que los factores de riesgo más asociados son el historial de la madre y del padre, por ejemplo, antecedentes de conducta antisocial y delictiva, problemas físicos o psiquiátricos o haber sufrido abuso o negligencia en la infancia. En este sentido, el maltrato se vuelve un fenómeno transgeneracional en el que también influyen las alteraciones a nivel cerebral, ya que sufrir maltrato en la infancia conlleva alteraciones emocionales, cognitivas, neuroendocrinas, comportamentales, así como efectos adversos en el desarrollo cerebral.

El objetivo de este artículo es describir diferentes hallazgos acerca del perfil psicológico, neurológico y epigenético de madres con conductas negligentes en comparación con madres de su mismo rango de edad y contexto sociocultural y económico que no presentan estas conductas de maltrato.

Con el uso de diferentes técnicas como los potenciales relacionados a eventos, la resonancia magnética estructural y funcional y análisis genéticos, se ha podido identificar que las madres negligentes presentan déficit de respuesta hacia estímulos emocionales, especialmente en el contexto de la interacción social como la respuesta hacia el llanto infantil. Asimismo, se han identificado cambios tanto de sustancia gris y sustancia blanca que correlacionan con mediciones psicológicas como la anhedonia. Finalmente, también se presentan cambios epigenéticos asociados a la conducta negligente en genes candidatos relacionados con la respuesta al estrés como el NR3C1, FKBP5 y SLC6A4.

El impacto social de esta línea de estudio podría ir dirigido a mejorar la atención que reciben estas madres en los servicios de protección de la infancia y de salud, y/o prevenir la aparición de estos problemas si se ayuda a perfilar su diagnóstico temprano y su tratamiento.
