Authors: Reddy P. Panduranga , Hiremath Siddalingswamy , Sudhakar Krovvidi , Metta Muralidhar , Vinoo R. , Reddy P. Ravikanth
Published: October 2021

Background: The knowledge and estimation of genetic and non-genetic factors on the production and reproduction traits of Ongole cattle are important to enable the breeders to design efficient conservation strategies and adopt better selection methods, management practices and culling operations. Methods: Data available on 220 Ongole cows mated to 22 sires- at the Livestock Research Station, Mahanadi, Kurnool (District), Andhra Pradesh over a period of eight years was used for the present analysis. Result: Results in the present study revealed that performance of animals was improved in lactation milk yield (LMY, 1063.33±31.13), 305 lactation milk yield (LMY, 1019.83±29.22), lactation length (LL, 266.26±5.6), less calving interval (CI, 497.95±8.58), service period (SP, 188.19±5.17) and dry period (DP, 214.79±19.6) compared to earlier reports. Parity and period have shown significant effect on all production traits and calving interval. Effect of season was non-significant on all productive and reproductive traits. Most of the heritability estimates for milk production traits were medium in range but low for reproductive traits. The correlations between productive traits and calving interval were negative.

Authors: Soni Sapna , Jakhar K.K. , Chandratre Gauri A. , Singh Surjeet
Published: October 2021

Background: There is scanty literature on evaluation of oxidative stress and alpha antitrypsin marker expression in canine TVT to know its histiocytic behaviour. Since venereal transmissible tumor is one of most important tumor affecting large population of canine, thus, study was conducted to investigate the above based on clinicopathology. Methods: The study was conducted on dogs suffering from transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) for evaluation of clinicopathological alterations, oxidative stress and expression pattern of alpha antitrypsin. Ten bitches and five male dogs with tumour masses seen on the external genitalia were used for the study. Detailed alterations due to TVT with respect to haematobiochemistry, oxidative stress, pathomorphology, proliferation and expression pattern of alpha antitrypsin were assessed. Result: Grossly tumors on the genital area were either pedunculated or sessile and of various shape such as cauliflower, filiform and irregular. Hematological alterations such as normocytic normochromic type of anaemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and lymphocytopenia in TVT cases indicated immunosuppression. Significant alterations in liver enzymes, hypercalcemia and hypoglycaemia were also observed in TVT affected dogs. Increased level of MDA and decreased in concentration of antioxidant enzymes indicated association of oxidative stress in proliferation of tumor and reduction in number of T lymphocytes. Cytological examination revealed characteristic punctuate basophilia and vacuolation in tumour cells. Histopathological examination showed characteristic round cells with a little fibrous septa in a sheet like manner. AgNOR staining indicated moderate proliferative capacity as evidenced by scattered AgNOR dots. TVT cells showed moderate type of immunoreactivity with alpha anti-trypsin confirming its histiocytic origin upon immunohistochemistry.

Background: The Government of India allowed the State of Haryana to go for the 27th round of FMD and HS combined oil adjuvant vaccine for mass vaccination of eligible bovine population, at a six monthly interval under FMD-CP. This was the second phase of the combined vaccination. Haryana is the only state in India where a single FMD and HS combined vaccine was used in bovines as a pilot project for protection against two most economically important diseases i.e. Hemorrhagic Septicemia (HS) and Foot and Mouth (FMD) diseases. The aim of this study is to describe the current uptake and usage of FMD and HS dual vaccine on the basis of a questionnaire-based survey of livestock owners in Haryana. Methods: Randomly selected livestock owners from 6 district namely Karnal, Panipat, Kurukshetra, Ambala, Panchkula and Yamunanagar of Haryana State were contacted and a questionnaire, made available in paper format, was distributed to them to participate in this study. Appropriate, answers to open questions were categorised into themes using thematic analysis methodology (Attride-Stirling, 2001). Result: Total of 96.81 (ninety six point eight one) percent of respondents (n=942/973) had their cattle vaccinated. Of the 31 respondents who excluded their animals from the vaccination, 58.06 percent pregnant (18/31), 16.12 percent lactating (5/31), 12.9 percent calves (4/31) and 6.45 percent sick (2/31) animals were indicated. The respondents who excluded their animals further expressed their desire to get their animals vaccinated during later stages of life.

Language Assessment Literacy: Insights for Educating English Language Teachers through Assessment
Authors: Giraldo Frank
Published: October 2021

At some point, language teachers need to be engaged in language assessment in their profession. Because language assessment is such a primary task for teachers, the field of language testing is encouraging research around the knowledge, skills, and principles that are foundational for sound assessment. In this paper, I provide a definition of Language Assessment Literacy (LAL), especially when it comes to teachers, by reviewing existing models. I then discuss ongoing issues in this area and end the paper by offering language teacher educators suggestions for fostering LAL among pre- and in-service teachers. In the article, I argue that, if more LAL initiatives take place, we are collectively raising the status and nature of language assessment and its impact on teachers’ professional development.

Authors: López Rubio Daniel
Published: October 2021

En octubre de 2020 la Comisión de Venecia aprobó una revisión de sus Directrices sobre la celebración de referendos, que databan de 2007. Sin entrar en la mayor o menor oportunidad de incorporar estos mecanismos de participación en los ordenamientos internos de los países miembros del Consejo de Europa, las Directrices establecen una serie de garantías normativas que habrán de estar presentes en los mismos para garantizar su pleno encaje con los derechos humanos, la democracia y el Estado de Derecho. Se analizarán, así, novedades en materias como la igualdad de oportunidades entre las distintas partes en las campañas previas a todo referéndum; la financiación y la transparencia de tales campañas; la claridad de la pregunta; o el ineludible respeto al marco constitucional de toda convocatoria de referéndum.

Compliance
Authors: Bacigalupo Silvina
Published: October 2021

Compliance surge en la discusión jurídica española a partir de la incorporación al Código penal de la responsabilidad de las personas jurídicas en 2010. En 2015, además, se introduce la posibilidad de que los programas de compliance puedan ser una causa de exención de la responsabilidad penal de las personas jurídicas. El término proviene del mundo jurídico anglosajón y se desarrolló en el marco de la autorregulación de las corporaciones privadas. Tras los escándalos políticos y financieros de los años 80’ y 90’, que dieron lugar a leyes que exigen a las empresas una mayor transparencia y rendición de cuentas, se consolida como herramienta de prevención de sobornos a funcionarios y políticos –caso Watergate–. En la actualidad, sin embargo, ha adquirido una dimensión mayor destinada no solo a la prevención de sobornos, sino a la prevención de los riesgos de la actividad empresarial y delitos que puedan ser cometidos en el marco de la actividad empresarial. Desde una perspectiva integral los programas de compliance son expresión de la cultura empresarial y de una cultura de la legalidad. Tras analizar los distintos aspectos jurídicos inherentes al compliance, se concluye que la cultura empresarial no puede existir sin tener como punto de partida el cumplimiento del Derecho.
Injurias a la corona: el caso Hásel
Authors: Moya Fuentes María del Mar
Published: October 2021

La confirmación por el Tribunal Supremo de la condena impuesta por la Audiencia Nacional a Pablo Hásel por injurias a la familia real y a la policía, así como por enaltecimiento del terrorismo ha puesto de nuevo el foco del debate jurídico en cuáles son los límites penales a la libertad de expresión y opinión. En el presente trabajo se procede a analizar la sanción de los delitos de injurias a la corona en estas resoluciones a la luz de los estándares protectores de esta libertad del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos, que ya ha condenado a nuestro país en asuntos similares por vulnerar el art. 10 CEDH.

Preparation and Evaluation of the Effect of Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 Ampoule for Scalp Treatment
Authors: Jo Hae-Won , Lee Kyung-Hee , Kim Jeong-Hee
Published: October 2021

Purpose: The topical application of scalp-care cosmetics, infused with functional ingredients, can offer an optimal cosmetic approach to prevent problems associated with aging. In terms of the development of anti-aging cosmetics, we studied the use of acetyl hexapeptide-8 (AH-8) for improving elasticity of the scalp.Methods: Ampoules containing 3% and 5% concentrations of AH-8 as an active ingredient were prepared and their safety and efficacy were evaluated. HaCaT cells were used to evaluate the safety of AH-8 ampoules by measurement of in vitro cytotoxicity. In in vivo experiments, we tested the AH-8 ampoules by cumulative irritation test (CIT) on healthy adults, 20–50 years of age. Relative expressions of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), forkhead box O1 (FOXO1), actinin alpha 1 (ACTN1), collagen type XVII alpha 1 chain (COL17A1), and integrin subunit beta 4 (ITGB4) were assessed using quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR).Results: AH-8 ampoules showed significant cytotoxicity to HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent manner. CIT assessment in 30 adults revealed no skin reactions to both 3% and 5% AH-8 ampoules. After treatment of HaCaT cells with the AH-8 ampoules, mRNA levels of SOD2 and FOXO1, which are directly implicated as antioxidant factors, were increased. Of the factors that improve elasticity, ACTN1 mRNA levels had the greatest increase when treated with the 5% AH-8 ampoules (1.75 µg/mL). Also, the AH-8 ampoules increased mRNA levels of COL17A1, and ITGB4 in HaCaT cells.Conclusions: In this study, we proved that 3% and 5% AH-8 ampoules are safe for use as a scalp-care cosmetic. AH-8 ampoule had efficacy in anti-aging and improving elasticity of the scalp. This comprehensive test showed that AH-8 can be developed as a cosmetic for anti-aging and improvement of scalp elasticity.

Authors: Kong Gyu Bin , Kwon Oh Hyeok
Published: October 2021

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the possible use of Ponciri fructus bioconversion extracts as cosmetic ingredients.Method: Total polyphenol, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant effects of Poncirus trifoliata through the ability of diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging were used for antioxidant activity determination. The extracts of Poncirus trifoliata were analyzed using an ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometerResults: The total phenolic content was 62.5±4.19 gallic acid equivalent (GAE) mg/g in the case of alcohol extracts and 82.8±2.55 GAE mg/g for other bioconversion extracts. Therefore, total flavonoids content was found to have increased by 32.4%. The total flavonoid content of ethanol extracts was 30.1±3.15 mg/g, whereas that of other bioconversion extracts was 39.5±35.1 mg/g. Therefore, total flavonoids increased by 31.2%. From DPPH radical results, the alcoholic extract increased from 65.5% to 75.5% after bioconversion. Thus, the bioconversion extracts increased by 10% compared with ethanol extracts.Conclusion: Poncirus trifoliata has excellent antioxidant effects, and it showed increased antioxidant activity after the bioconversion, thereby demonstrating its functional bioutility. Therefore, it can be used as an antioxidant material in the cosmetic and food industry.

TEACHERS AND STUDENTS’ NET PROMOTER SCORE (NPS) ON THE CAMBRIDGE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CLMS)
Authors: German Emilius
Published: October 2021

Technology in Education has been widely used due to several reasons. Millennial students’ characteristic, which is technology savvy, is one of them. The Covid- 19 pandemic has also been leading us to use technology in managing the classroom massively. This study aims to identify teachers and students’ Net Promoter Score (NPS) on the Cambridge Learning Management System (CLMS). Mixed methods and an online survey using google platforms were used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. Nine English lecturers and 69 university students who had used CLMS for teaching and learning English level B1 (CEFR) participated. The results show that the lecturers and students’ NPS are 11 and 13, respectively. They imply that CLMS is considered good, resulting in the possibility for the users to reuse the LMS in the future.  However, there is still room for improvement. Fixing technical problems is highly recommended to enhance the possibility for the user to use the installed LMS. Providing more training for teachers is also suggested.

Milk is a vital constituent of the human diet. It is a rich source of high biological value protein and essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus and potassium. It has protective effects against many acute and chronic diseases. Milk gives comparatively rapid returns to small scale livestock keepers. Huge quantity of milk is produced by small farmers in developing countries like Pakistan and it is expected that demand for milk will increase by 25 percent by 2025. Pakistan is the world's fifth- largest producer of milk and produces about 60 million metric ton of milk in a year. Only 6 percent of milk is being pasteurized. Livestock sector in Pakistan contributes 11.10 percent to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Approximately 35 million households in rural areas are associated with the profession of dairy industry in Pakistan. Pasteurized milk is much better than raw milk because pasteurization is a preventive measure of public health significance as it makes the milk safe for human use. The main objective of this study was to find out the willingness to pay by consumers for the purchase of pasteurized milk. In this regard, interviews were conducted from 150 households during May, 2020 from 3 localities namely Ghulam Muhammad Abad, Muhammad Pura and Marzi Pura in Jinnah town District Faisalabad. Binary logistic model was applied to explore variation in various measures of the respondents’ willingness to pay. The results of the model revealed that factors like income, education, expenses on milk, number of children and milk source were found significant for willingness to pay. Further, household is spending on an average 11% of his income on milk consumption and is willing to pay Rs. 7.5 per liter for pasteurized milk. These findings have essential implications for policy makers.

Authors: Amjad Hina
Published: October 2021

An adequate knowledge regarding the genetic issues of natural populations is imperative for developing conservation and stock improvement plans. The present research work was aimed to assess the genetic variability and structuring patterns in six natural populations of Cirrhinus mrigala from Punjab province, Pakistan. The PCR based amplification of targeted loci was carried out by employing a total of 12 microsatellite markers. Based on the study inferences, moderate level of genetic diversity was observed in all the populations. The average number of alleles (Na) varied from 3.750 to 4.416 and those of effective number of alleles ranged between 3.112 to 3.856 in all the examined populations. The mean values of observed and expected heterozygosity were measured as 0.563 to 0.685 and 0.669 to 0.739, respectively. The average values of inbreeding coefficient (FIS) ranged from 0.019 to 0.184. Significant deviation from HWE was detected in 9 out of 72 tests. Among all the population pairs, low to moderate level of genetic differentiation was found. After applying AMOVA, it was revealed that most of the variations (81.15%) lied within individuals. The UPGMA dendrogram resulted in two distinct clusters. The present study inferences would be helpful for setting up effective strategies to avoid the loss of genetic variability in C. mrigala populations.

Authors: Mamoon-ur-Rashid Muhammad
Published: October 2021

The maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is one of the most damaging pests of stored cereals causing severe damage to stored grains. In current investigation, six open pollinated maize varieties viz. JALAL (white), AZAM (white), SADAF (yellow), ZARD LOCAL (yellow), KASHMIRI (yellow) and PAHARI (white) were screened out in the laboratory of Entomology Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan for their relative susceptibility/resistance to maize weevil. The experiment was laid out following completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 replicates. Results revealed that minimum (23.8) days to adult emergence of maize weevil were recorded when it was reared on variety Azam; whereas; maximum (34.2) days were recorded on variety Sadaf. Total number of F1 adults emerged were maximum (91) in Azam while minimum (62) in variety Sadaf. Percent infestation of maize kernels was maximum (39.01%) in Azam while minimum (25.80%) was recorded in variety Sadaf. Percent weight loss was maximum in Azam i.e. 26.12% while minimum percent weight loss (16.88%) was recorded in Sadaf. Maximum longevity (68.4 days) of adult weevils was recorded on Azam while minimum (53.4 days) was recorded on variety Sadaf. All the tested varieties had no significant effect on the sex ratio of emerged weevils. High germination percentage was recorded in Sadaf (90%) whereas; low germination was found in Azam (57%). The grain hardness test indicated that yellow varieties including Sadaf, Zard local and Kashmiri had maximum hardness having 317, 302.33 and 296 N grain hardness, whereas; white varieties i.e. Pahari, Jalal and Azam had minimum values of grain hardness i.e. 264.33, 251.66 and 238.33 Newton. The present work has shown that Azam is the most susceptible variety and should not be stored for longer periods whereas; Sadaf is the resistant variety against maize weevil.

Published: October 2021

Ecotourism is a type of tourism in which maximum benefits are provided to local people while protecting the environment. Local people care more about the sustainability of biodiversity and they are very effective at protecting it. Kure Mountains National Park is one of the most important protected areas for accelerating ecotourism, having tremendous natural resources, protected traditional cultures, caves, canyons, waterfalls and natural wonders. In this study, we aimed to examine the support of women in ecotourism activities in Kure Mountain National Park. To measure the support of women in ecotourism, we conducted face-to-face surveys with 366 women from 53 villages and used observation method. It was found that the level of education in the region is quite low, 65 out of 98 women having 64 years of age and older were illiterate. As the level of education decreased, there was an increase in the unemployment. About 94.3% of the women living in the buffer zone of the park stated that there was no relation between their income and the status of National Park. These findings are important in understanding the role of women in the development of ecotourism. Moreover, stimulating ecotourism activities with encouragement and micro-development plans for local people will increase their livelihoods and people who live in and around the National Park will be more careful to protect these areas

Published: October 2021

Citrus fruit production is largely affected by different bacterial and fungal pathogens. In Pakistan bacterial diseases like citrus bacterial canker (CBC) pose severe risk to citrus economy. Diagnoses of such diseases could be helpful to avoid the epidemics in nurseries or orchids. In 2011-12, citrus canker symptoms i.e., callus-like outgrowths on leaves and fruits of grape fruit (Citrus paradisi), Washington naval (Citrus sinensis), Kaghzi Limon (Citrus aurantifolia swingle), lemon (Citrus Limon) and pomelo (Citrus maxima) were noticed in Sargodha district of Punjab, Pakistan. Bacteria i.e., yellow mucoid, Xanthomonas- like isolates, were isolated from these lesions. Bacteria isolated from these lesions were cultured and total DNA was isolated. A diagnostic fragment of 581 bp based on rpf genes of Xanthomonas citri pv. citri was amplified, cloned and completely sequenced. BLAST and evolutionary analysis revealed that these isolates show 100% sequence similarity and group with Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri from Argentina (CP023285) and Reunion (CP018858), (CP018854). To our knowledge, this is the first formal report of X. campestris pv. citri pathotypes A on Citrus paradise, Citrus sinensis, Citrus maxima, Citrus Limon and Citrus aurantifolia swingle in Pakistan

Authors: Wang Xiting , Lu Tao
Published: October 2021

Due to the severity of the COVID-19 epidemic, to identify a proper treatment for COVID-19 is of great significance. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has shown its great potential in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. One of TCM decoction, Lianhua Qingwen decoction displayed promising treating efficacy. Nevertheless, the underlying molecular mechanism has not been explored for further development and treatment. Through systems pharmacology and network pharmacology approaches, we explored the potential mechanisms of Lianhua Qingwen treating COVID-19 and acting ingredients of Lianhua Qingwen decoction for COVID-19 treatment. Through this way, we generated an ingredients-targets database. We also used molecular docking to screen possible active ingredients. Also, we applied the protein-protein interaction network and detection algorithm to identify relevant protein groupings of Lianhua Qingwen. Totally, 605 ingredients and 1,089 targets were obtained. Molecular Docking analyses revealed that 35 components may be the promising acting ingredients, 7 of which were underlined according to the comprehensive analysis. Our enrichment analysis of the 7 highlighted ingredients showed relevant significant pathways that could be highly related to their potential mechanisms, e.g. oxidative stress response, inflammation, and blood circulation. In summary, this study suggests the promising mechanism of the Lianhua Qingwen decoction for COVID-19 treatment. Further experimental and clinical verifications are still needed.

Published: October 2021

Background: Presacral tumors, also known as retrorectal tumors, locate in the presacral space and are clinically rare and the approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of presacral tumors are still deficient. The four accepted surgical approaches for presacral tumors include transabdominal approach, sacrococcygeal approach, perineal approach, and combined approach. This study aims to evaluate the treatment efficacy of transparasacral approach for presacral tumors.Methods: 23 patients (7 males and 16 females) who are diagnosed with presacral tumors and receive surgery in transsacral approach at our department were chosen. The gender, age, body mass index (BMI), and clinical symptoms were recorded. The clinical data, postoperative complications, and short and long-term rehabilitation data were recorded and analyzed. Results: The surgery was performed smoothly and the patients recovered well without signs of intestinal fistula, abdominal and pelvic infection, lung infection, organ dysfunction, or organ failure. The incision edema occurred in only one patient. In terms of the histopathological types, presacral tumors can be classified into tailgut cyst (n=10), epidermoid cyst (n=5), teratoma (n=3), and lipoma (n=10). One patient diagnosed with tailgut cyst was accompanied by adenocarcinoma transition. Tumor recurrence didn’t occur in any patients. In addition, no patients complained about dysuria, sacrococcygeal sensory disturbance, or sacrococcygeal and perineal discomfort.Conclusions: Surgical resection with transparasacral approach is effective for the treatment of presacral tumors with the advantages of high safety, good treatment efficacy, few complications, good oncological prognosis, and fast recovery.
Optimal scale combination selection for inconsistent multi-scale decision tables
Authors: Zhu Yingjie , Yang Bin
Published: October 2021

Hierarchical structured data are very common for data mining and other tasks in real-life world. How to select the optimal scale combination from a multi-scale decision table is critical for subsequent tasks. At present, the models for calculating the optimal scale combination mainly include lattice model, complement model and stepwise optimal scale selection model, which are mainly based on consistent multi-scale decision tables. The optimal scale selection model for inconsistent multi-scale decision tables has not been given. Based on this, firstly, this paper introduces the concept of complement and lattice model proposed by Li and Hu. Secondly, based on the concept of positive region consistency of inconsistent multi-scale decision tables, the paper proposes complement model and lattice model based on positive region consistent and gives the algorithm. Finally, some numerical experiments are employed to verify that the model has the same properties in processing inconsistent multi-scale decision tables as the complement model and lattice model in processing consistent multi-scale decision tables. And for the consistent multi-scale decision table, the same results can be obtained by using the model based on positive region consistent. However, the lattice model based on positive region consistent is more time-consuming and costly. The model proposed in this paper provides a new theoretical method for the optimal scale combination selection of the inconsistent multi-scale decision table.
