Atrophy of the Left Hepatic Lobe Causing Twisting of the Right Hepatic Lobe and Biliary Compression with Radiological Findings : A Case Report
Authors: Bahkali Salha
Published: July 2022

A 20-year-old male presented with hepatomegaly, jaundice, and itching. Investigation revealed elevated liver enzyme levels, suggesting direct hyperbilirubinemia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a stable orientation of the right hemithorax, a relatively small and rotated right hepatic lobe, and a left-rotated intra-abdominal hepatic lobe, with progressive enhancement related to the foci of the hepatic fibrosis. There was an intrahepatic biliary dilatation, reaching 0.8 cm, that was due to biliary compression. There was no evidence of biliary irregularity to suggest a classic primary sclerosing cholangitis pattern. Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage and a cholangiogram confirmed the dilation of the left and right bile ducts with smooth, normal drainage via the common bile duct. The symptom management strategy took the form of surgical liver transplantation. The patient demonstrated improvement following transplantation, and his total bilirubin level returned to normal within months. The patient was then discharged in a stable status, and successive follow-up appointments were scheduled every three months to monitor for disease progression or complications.

SoSocial Networks of Civil Engagement and Political Trust: A Case Study of Sukhothai Provincetworks of Civil Engagement and Political Trust: A Case Study of Sukhothai Province
Authors: Suksawas Wanlapat
Published: July 2022

The objective of this study was to study the relationship between the concept of a network of civil engagement and the concept of political trust in Sukhothai Province. The study was based on a quantitative study by collecting the data from a sample of 400 people. The data was analyzed using the SPSS for Windows program. The statistics used for data analysis were percentage, mean, and multiple regression analysis. It was found that, in general, there was a positive relationship between the network of civil engagement and political trust in this Province. The variables can account for 70.5 percent of the variation in political trust (R2 = 0.705). However, the study also found that there were only teachers – parents associations, occupation groups, elderly groups, group formed by the state, volunteer and political groups that showed the positive relationship with political trust. The prediction of the multiple regression equation could be created as political trust = 1.348 + 1.122(G3) + 1.748(G4) + 1.162(G5) + 0.925(G7) + 2.047(G10) + 0.467(G12). The analysis of multiple correlation coefficients and the analysis of the forecasting power of the 6 groups on political trust could forecast and create political trust forecasting equations. Only organizations characterized as formal and/or semi-formal networks had a positive relation towards political trust. Arguably, to promote political trust level, government agencies should encourage public participation so as to develop democratic working skills and strengthen the political trust.

Sexual Practices among Cobblestone Construction Workers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Challenge to the Prevention of HIV Infection2020
Authors: Minuta Wondemu Denbu , Mashalla Yohana , Tshweneagae Gloria Gloria Thupayagale
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: HIV infection remains a public health challenge. This study assessed sexual practices among casual workers at the Cobblestone construction, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

METHODS: This was a quantitative cross-sectional study carried out among the labourers at the Cobblestone construction sites between October – December 2018. Multi-stage sampling was used to estimate the sample size. Demographic and sexual practice information were collected using a structured questionnaire. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine associations between variables; P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

RESULTS: We recruited 627 labourers. Majority (82.2%) were aged between 18 and 38 years; average age at onset of sexual debut was 17.9 ±2.67 and 19.14 ±2.18 years among males and females respectively. Majority (68.5%) were married; exposure to pornography was 40.2% and 32% among male and female respectively. Lifetime multiple sexual practices were prevalent (59.9% and 50.0%) among males and females respectively; extramarital sex was prevalent (66.9%) among males but protected sex was relatively low (46.2%). Being employed significantly associated with likelihood of first exposure to alcohol (P =0.029), level of education, exposure to pornography and knowledge of symptoms of STIs significantly associated with multiple sexual practices.

CONCLUSION: Prevalence of risky sexual practices among the labourers were high which risks them to HIV infections. Innovative approaches to behavioural change are needed to reduce risks of HIV infection.

Authors: Asuquo Michael Ekpenyong , Onyinye Chuktu
Published: July 2022

This study examined internal school quality assurance practices and undergraduate students’ attitude towards academic activities in public universities in Cross River State, Nigeria. The study was guided by three null hypotheses and the design adopted was ex-post facto research design. The population of the study was made up of all the regular undergraduate students in their third year of study in the two public universities (University of Calabar and Cross River University of Technology) in Cross River State, Nigeria. The researchers used convenience sampling technique in selecting a sample of 2,500 students from the population which cut across the two public universities in the study area. Internal Quality Assurance Practices and Undergraduate Students’ Attitude Towards Academic Activities Questionnaire (IQAPUSATAAQ) with Cronbach reliability reliabilities of .81, .86, .83, and .80 was the instrument used for data collection. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was the statistical tool used in testing the hypotheses at .05 level of significant. The results of the study revealed significant relationship between school quality assurance approaches (maintenance of facilities, curriculum implementation, examinations administration) and students’ attitude towards academic activities. It was recommended among others that available teaching and learning facilities at the disposal of the management of universities should be maintained and made functional for the benefit of the students.
Sallust’s Motivation and Cicero’s Influence in the Writing of the Bellum Catilinae
Authors: Lin Richard
Published: July 2022

In 80 BC, at the age of 26, the future Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero defended one Sextus Roscius from accusations of patricide. For Cicero, the stakes were high for challenging such a strong accusation, as patricide was seen as a horrific crime in the public eye of Rome. For one, if Cicero were to lose his defense, he would be the one to blame for Roscius’ consequential harsh punishment, Poena Cullei. Reserved only for patricide, this type of sentence involved wrapping the perpetrator’s head in wolf skin and their beaten body sewn into a sack with live animals—namely snakes, dogs, chickens, and monkeys; only then was the body bag thrown into the water, preventing the traditional and honorable burial that most Romans had.1 Furthermore, Cicero decided to blame the murder on some men with close relations to Sulla, the dictator of the republic and an influential man easily able to silence him. Ultimately, the amateur lawyer won his first public case and used its high stakes to bring himself public recognition. Cicero acknowledges this in one of his works: Itaque prima causa publica pro Sex. Roscio dicta tantum commendationis habuit ut non ulla esset quae non digna nostro patrocinio videretur (“My defense of Sex. Roscius, which was the first public cause I pleaded, met with such a favorable reception, that I was looked upon as an advocate of the first class, and equal to the greatest and most important causes”).2 This fame kickstarted Cicero’s public career, facilitated his rise to consulship in 63 BC, and foreshadowed one of the most notable events of his political career: the Catilinarian conspiracy.
Santiago Álvarez y el cine-ensayo
Authors: Alfonso Bouhaben Miguel
Published: July 2022

En el presente artículo, se pretende mostrar la relación problemática entre el cine de Santiago Álvarez y los principios sustantivos del cine-ensayo. Los teóricos del cine-ensayo definen como caracteres específicos de este género a la expresión del pensamiento racional, la escritura de la subjetividad y la utilización de material audiovisual heterogéneo. Si bien es verdad que el cineasta cubano hace uso de estas estrategias, también es cierto que las pone en crisis y las resignifica; de esta forma, aporta una nueva perspectiva en la cual las tácticas de enunciación de lo común –de un yo colectivo- y de un pensamiento sensible, y no sólo racional, permiten un ensanchamiento y una reconceptualización de la noción de cine-ensayo. Al hilo del desarrollo teórico y analítico que planteamos, tendremos en cuenta las mutuas relaciones que se establecen entre los dispositivos estéticos y narrativos y las formas de acción política en la obra del cineasta cubano.

Cuerpos, deserción y cotidiano en el nuevo cine pernambucano
Authors: Taveira Fernándes Luanda
Published: July 2022

Dialogando con un horizonte estético transnacional que articula poéticas individuales en las diferentes coordenadas geográficas del globo, el novíssimo cinema brasileiro inserta en los atlas de lo visible del cine contemporáneo los movimientos de los cuerpos por un espacio que trasciende lo nacional y los encuentros que estos cuerpos móviles realizan, forjando comunidades en la dispersión, no como corte, interrupción, sino como condición misma de la experiencia cotidiana. En este análisis nos concentramos en tres películas del nuevo cine pernambucano, como una de las expresiones más relevantes del novíssimo cinema que desestabiliza el tradicional eje de producción Rio-São Paulo: Era uma vez, eu Verônica (2012), de Marcelo Gomes, Ventos de agosto (2014), Gabriel Mascaro y Eles Voltam (2012), de Marcelo Lordello. Nos interesa pensar en cómo, a través del gesto de deserción femenino, las tres películas emprenden una búsqueda por lo común y la comunidad, pensada a partir de las ideas de falta, abertura y experiencia y forjan encuentros como copresencias efímeras inmersas en los flujos del mundo.
Pasión por la narración: entrevista a Sergio Schmucler
Authors: Klimovsky Pedro Alberto , Iparraguirre Martín
Published: July 2022

Córdoba ha dado pocos realizadores tan prolíficos como Sergio Schmucler quien, a lo largo de su carrera, ha abordado distintos géneros en casi todas las formas de producción: desde la ficción pura y dura con La Herencia (2008) y La sombra azul (2012), al documental de producción colectiva como Guachos de la calle: Memorias del desarraigo (2015) o de realización autogestionada como Canción de Mariano (2007), siempre con un explícito compromiso político como marca común. Podría decirse que el cine de Schmucler participa de esa categoría un tanto endeble pero rápidamente identificable de cine político, aunque sin hacer de ella una bandera de militancia partidaria ni una estrategia de venta comercial.

En la siguiente entrevista, el director analiza su propia historia con el cine y sus métodos de trabajo.
Mirar y escuchar. Percepción háptica y narrativa sensorial en El limonero real (2016) de Gustavo Fontán
Authors: Depetris Chauvin Irene
Published: July 2022

Este artículo analiza los modos en que en El limonero real (2016) Gustavo Fontán parte de una tradición literaria fluvial pero logra pintar el río al explorar las relaciones entre sujeto y paisaje a través de dimensiones sensoriales propias del cine. Descentrándose de un sentido tradicional de narrativa fílmica, El limonero real apuesta a la intensificación perceptiva y estética para encontrar una nueva idea de experiencia que permite redibujar la geografía afectiva del litoral argentino. En esta exploración sensorial y afectiva de lo real la película apuesta tanto a una visualidad háptica, más táctil que óptica, como a una escucha háptica (Marks, 2000; Bruno, 2010), e instala una ambigüedad en la percepción visual y sonora permitiendo, de esta manera, reelaborar las experiencias perceptivas de las fuentes literarias que inspiraron el proyecto de Fontán.
Emerger de/desde Córdoba (2010-2015): una lista que provoca vértigo
Authors: Siragusa Cristina , Yaya Marcela , Michelazo Sergio , García Viviana , Vallejo Agustín , Maccario Florencia
Published: July 2022

Interrogarse acerca de las experiencias cinematográficas emergentes dentro del régimen de lo sensible de Córdoba durante el periodo 2010-2015 fue una tarea desafiante dado que durante los últimos años se desplegó un movimiento centrífugo que transformó el territorio audiovisual local. La explosión cuanti-cualitativa de filmografía que apostó al largometraje como un modo de expresar sus historias puede concebirse como un momento particular en la historia cinematográfica cordobesa que implicó el despliegue de procesos técnicos y narrativos de mayor envergadura a lo generado hasta entonces. Llevar adelante este tipo de ejercicio investigativo requería no sólo la exploración, recogida y construcción de datos, sino que para que fuera posible llevarlo a cabo era indispensable construir un entramado conceptualmente amplio y flexible acerca de los casos que podían ser incluidos en la lista. Un catálogo fílmico amplio en su número, lo cual pone en evidencia el volumen de la producción, como en la pluralidad estilística que se exhibió en diversas pantallas. Es por ello, parafraseando a Eco (2009), que se optó por organizar la información reconociendo su carácter abierto, lo cual implica que siempre puede enriquecerse con un nuevo elemento.

Authors: Indrawan I Wayang Agung , Wiyasa I Wayan Arsana , Hidayat Achmad , Agustia Qonita Prasta
Published: July 2022

Background: Identification and isolation of local non-soy isoflavone based on cow pea (Vigna unguiculata) by The Indonesian Menopause Society (PERMI) in Malang District, Indonesia No published studies have directly examined the effect of that non-soy isoflavone on bone mineral density in menopausal women.

Objective: To determine the effect of 24 weeks' consumption of non-soy isoflavone (67,5 mg) to reduce osteoporotic bone loss in menopausal women. Design and Methods: Menopausal subjects were randomly assigned, double-blind to treatment: non-soy isoflavone (n-30), or placebo (n-30). At baseline and posttreatment, bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by using quantitative ultrasonography. Collected data were analyzed by Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA).

Results: There were no differences in BMD changes between the treatment and placebo group for 24 weeks intervention. The mean of BMD changes in treatment group were 0,952 (p-value 0,006, SE-0,221) from baseline, and the placebo group had mean at -0,768 (p-value -0,006, SE-0,212). Despite this, coffee as the concomitant variable had a significant effect on BMD changes (p value=0,43) at 3rd-month evaluation, but not in 6 months. Participant compliance is good.

Conclusion: Non-soy Isoflavone attenuates bone loss in menopausal women.

Keywords: non-soy, phytoestrogen, osteoporosis, postmenopausal women

Land-cover change has many environmental, physical, and socioeconomic significances. Therefore, the study investigated the consequence of Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) change on vegetation indices in oil palm producing Agro-Ecological Zones (AEZs) of Nigeria between 1989 and 2019 (30 years). Multistage sampling technique was used to sample 18 communities (six communities per each AEZ) that are known for oil palm production in the study area. Image processing and Geographical Information System (GIS) analysis was carried out. The result revealed that in the freshwater swamp AEZ, there was declining in areas covered by dense vegetation (72%) and wetland receded by 100% in the last 30 years. In the guinea savannah AEZ, the dense vegetation declines by 56.11% while built-up land and agricultural land increase by 169.06% and 17.98% respectively in the last 30 years. In the rainforest AEZ, there was 1689.43% increase in areas covered by sparse vegetation against 50.94% decline in dense vegetation. The study recommends that government and Non-Governmental Organizations should assist in formulating environmental policies that will protect the ecosystem in the study area.

This research is motivated by the increasing number of plastic waste scattered on this earth. The world's oceans are also increasingly polluted with plastic waste carried out by some people on this earth. Not far from happening in Indonesia. Indonesia is the second largest contributor to plastic waste in the world. How not, almost all Indonesian people daily encounter plastic to support their daily routines such as consuming food and drinks wrapped in plastic, shopping, and so on. Therefore PT. Abadi Sinar Baru Indah utilizes plastic waste which aims to reduce the spread of waste among the community by recycling plastic waste that has high economic value. PT. Abadi Sinar Baru Indah recycles PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic waste which is made from all kinds of beverage bottles. The purpose of this study is the method of determining the cost of production by applying the full costing method in the selling price at PT. Eternal New Beautiful Light. The research approach used is descriptive quantitative, with the results showing that the full costing method in the cost of production can determine the selling price at PT. Eternal New Beautiful Light. Because the full costing method will charge all BOP (Production Overhead Costs) both fixed and variable. Thus, the full costing method is more profitable for the company because it will charge all production operational costs in making a product. This will result in a more accurate cost of goods manufactured.

BACKGROUND: Pharmacokinetic variability arising from drug-drug interactions and pharmacogenetics may influence the effectiveness of treatment regimens for TB. The Improving Treatment Success Trial compared the WHO-recommended standard treatment in TB patients with an experimental
regimen substituting ethambutol with moxifloxacin (MFX) in Durban, South Africa.METHODS: Non-linear mixed-effects modelling was used to investigate the population pharmacokinetics of rifampicin (RIF), isoniazid (INH) and pyrazinamide (PZA). A total of 25 single-nucleotide polymorphisms,
including pregnane-X-receptor, were selected for analysis.RESULTS: TB drug concentrations were available in a subset of 101 patients: 58 in the MFX arm and 43 in the control arm. Baseline characteristics were well-balanced between study arms: median age and weight were respectively
36 years and 57.7 kg; 75.2% of the patients were living with HIV. Although weight-based drug dosing was the same in the two arms, we found that RIF exposure was increased by 19.3%, INH decreased by 19% and PZA decreased by 19.2% when administered as part of the MFX-containing regimen. Genetic
variation in pregnane-X-receptor (rs2472677) was associated with a 25.3% reduction in RIF exposure.CONCLUSION: Optimised weight-based TB treatment dosing is essential when RIF, INH and PZA are co-administered with fluoroquinolones. The reduction in RIF exposure associated
with pharmacogenetic variation is worrying.

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm in Africa: a literature review
Authors: Morais Humberto , Da Silva Ferreira Hilaryano
Published: July 2022

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SOVA) is a rare congenital anomaly. The incidence of SOVA is five times higher among Asians than among Western populations. Currently, there is a lack of information on the clinical presentations of this entity in Africans. This study aims to perform a comprehensive review of papers concerning SOVA in the African population. In this study, papers published from 1962 to April 2021 were collected by entering the keywords, “SOVA” and “The name of each African country”, in the PubMed database, and a manual search was performed using citations from primary papers to retrieve any other reports not included in PubMed. As shown, 23 patients with SOVA were included in this review. There were 14 males (60.8%) and 9 females (39.1%), and their average age was 28.7 ± 13.9 years old. Their most frequent clinical presentation was dyspnea followed by palpitations. SOVA arose from the right sinus of Valsalva in 65.2% of cases, the dissection into interventricular septum (IVS) was the most frequent complication, accounting for 52.2% of cases, and the main cardiac anomalies associated with SOVA were other congenital cardiac aneurysms. In conclusion, in Africans, SOVA arises more often from the right sinus of Valsalva, the main complication of SOVA is their dissection into IVS, and the main cardiac anomalies associated with SOVA in the African population are other congenital cardiac aneurysms. These differences are important in the surgical planning of African patients.
Unusual syncope due to silent coronary vasospasm: a case description and an overview of coronary vasospasm
Authors: Somaschini Alberto , Astuti Matteo , Cordone Stefano , Ghione Matteo , Buscaglia Elisa , Cornara Stefano , Bellone Pietro
Published: July 2022

Variant angina is a condition triggered by the transient vasospasm of epicardial coronary arteries, which usually causes chest pain episodes and may be associated with dangerous arrhythmias. Among patients with coronary artery vasospasm, a non-negligible subset experiences silent myocardial ischemia, defined as the objective documentation of myocardial ischemia in the absence of angina or anginal equivalents. This condition is associated with the increased cardiac mortality and incidence of acute cardiac events. Herein, we described the case of a 65-year-old man who was admitted to our Emergency Department (ED) for syncope. He reported palpitations before the event but did not complain of chest pain. Baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) showed that troponin values of biphasic T waves in V2-V6 were normal. The patient was admitted to our coronary care unit (CCU) for monitoring. Immediately after hospital admission, he developed dynamic ST segment elevation and non-sustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, being symptomatic only for palpitations. Both ECG abnormalities and symptoms quickly resolved after the administration of intravenous nitrates and oral calcium channel blockers. Coronary angiography showed a critical non-occlusive fixed stenosis at the proximal right coronary artery (RCA). The lesion was treated by angioplasty and stenting, and the patient was discharged on dual antiplatelet therapy, statins and oral high-dose calcium-channel antagonist.

Background: Modern sport is focused on success, generating high-level performance, and crossing physiological barriers. Breaking records and winning is associated with financial benefits but it also raises the social prestige of the athlete. Some competitors try every possible means in order to achieve better results and success in sport, including using doping. This study aims to analyze the opinions and attitudes of elite athletes with disabilities. Methods: Study participants included a group of elite Polish team members competing in international competitions (including Paralympics) in various sports. The research sample consisted of 100 individuals, including 67 men (67%) and 33 women (33%). The descriptive exploratory design used an instrument that combined a validated questionnaire (Performance Enhancement Attitude Scale; PEAS) with a special questionnaire adapted to athletes with disabilities. Results: The overall mean score from the PEAS scale (range, 11–66, with higher scores representing more permissive attitudes towards doping) was 20.61 11.35, with 21.20 10.96 in men, 19.39 12.20 in women, 20.46 10.92 in Paralympians and world championship participants (Masters), and 21.14 13.16 in other competitors. For more than half (58%) of respondents, doping is uncommon in sports, and sports success can be achieved without doping (88%). The vast majority of respondents (90%) do not know people who use doping. Conclusion: The lack of response and hesitation in answers suggest that the respondents did not use doping but also were unaware of doping. Therefore, it seems necessary to implement anti-doping education for athletes with disabilities from the early stages of their sports careers.

The frontal lobe comprises a third of the surface of each hemisphere in human brain, and is responsible for movement, speech production, emotional expression, reward, attention, short-term memory tasks, future planning, and motivation. It is also involved in internal, purposeful mental action, and reasoning, and in socially acceptable responses. Many neuropsychological, volumetric and functional imaging studies, and case reports have shown certain changes in the frontal lobes of subjects who exhibited criminal or violent behaviour.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopment disease with multifactorial causes, which is charaterized by a dramatic loss of the communication, social interaction and the repetition of actions. In this minireview we did focus on the agression part of the autistic pathology, and how this can be replicated in zebrafish experimental studies.
Efficacy of sodium bentonite (SB) to ameliorate adverse effects of aflatoxin on In Vitro rumen fermentation of wheat straw
Authors: SINGH RAM , KUMAR SAINI ASHWANI
Published: July 2022

The present experiment was conducted to study the effect of sodium bentonite (SB) in ameliorating the adverseeffects of aflatoxin on in vitro rumen fermentation of wheat straw. Five treatment groups, viz. T1: control (wheatstraw); T2: T1 + 300 ppb aflatoxin B1 (AFB1); T3: T2 + 0.33% SB; T4: T2 + 0.5% SB and T5: T2 + 1.0% SB wereprepared and incubated in vitro. Truly degradable dry matter (TDDM), truly degradable organic matter (TDOM),gas production (GP), microbial biomass production (MBP) and partitioning factor (PF) values in T1 were higherthan those of other treatment groups (T2 to T5). TDDM, TDOM, GP, MBP and PF values in T2 were lower thanthose of other treatment groups. The values of these parameters improved with increasing concentration of SB.Total volatile fatty acids (TVFA), acetate (A), propionate (P) and butyrate (B) values in T1 were higher than thoseof other treatment groups (T2 to T5). TVFA and A value between T2 and T3 were statistically similar. TVFA, A, Pand B values improved with increasing level of SB, however, these values were lower than that of control even athighest inclusion level of SB. A:P ratio among various treatments did not vary significantly. It was concluded thataflatoxin contamination of feed at 300 ppb level significantly affected the in vitro rumen fermentation in terms ofreduced truly degradable dry matter, truly degradable organic matter, gas production, microbial biomass production, partitioning factor and total volatile fatty acids concentration. Incorporation of sodium bentonite up to 1.0% level to the aflatoxin-contaminated wheat straw, partially ameliorated the adverse effects of aflatoxin on in vitro rumen fermentation parameters.

The dairy cows experience negative energy balance during early lactation and feeding Bypass fat in ration can produce higher milk yield, improved reproduction with better economics. An experiment was planned to evaluate feeding of total mixed ration (TMR) supplemented with Bypass fat @ 100 g/day to dairy animals for -21 to 120 days of calving. Total sixteen animals were divided to control and Bypass fat group having eight animals in each. The effect on production, reproduction and economics was evaluated for 21 biweekly periods and for 300 days of lactation. The feeding total mix ration (TMR) supplemented with 100g/day Bypass fat (98%; -21 to 120 days of calving) was resulted in daily 1.19 kg higher (p=0.050) residual whole milk, 1.21 kg daily higher (p=0.048) residual 4% FCM yield whereas improvement in whole milk, 4% fat corrected milk yield and milking days (25 days) was numerical for period of 1-21 bi-week period. An intake of dry matter and nutrient was non-significant between the groups. The better feed conversion ratio (kg/kg milk) in terms of dry matter (1.581Â±0.11 vs. 2.330Â±0.39; p=0.048) and total digestible nutrients (0.846Â±0.06 vs. 1.300Â±0.21 kg; p=0.046), improved reproduction in terms of Artificial insemination (AI)/conception (1.857Â±0.14 vs. 2.286Â±0.18; p=0.008) and service period (113.13Â±20.73 vs. 177.38Â±20.92 days; p=0.014) and better feed cost to milk income ratio (1:1.93 vs. 1:1.63) in lactating cows during standard lactation. The lower loss of body condition score of bypass fat group cows after calving resulted in better milk yield and reproduction of dairy cows.

This study explored the influence of moringa (Moringa oleifera; MO) foliage supplementation on in vitro ruminalgas production kinetics and substrate degradation in cattle. In vitro fermentation study was carried out with twotypes of substrates, viz. wheat straw (WS) and WS plus concentrate mixture (CM; 60:40) in cattle rumen inoculum.The MO was incorporated to both the substrates at 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% levels of total dry matter. Thesubstrates were incubated up to 24 h and substrate degradation was measured. The in vitro gas production kineticswas performed with 8 different (0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 100%) levels of MO with WS substrate and incubatedat 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h. The MO addition increased the total gas volume (ml/200 mg) up to 50% level,though, it was analogous when WS and CM based substrate was used. The truly degradable organic matter in rumen (TDOMR) was increased with MO supplementation from 10% onwards. The microbial biomass production (MBP) and partitioning factor (PF) were higher on 30% onwards MO levels. Addition of MO increased the gas production at 24 h from 30% onwards, however, cumulative gas production at 72 h was higher in control (CON). The potential gas production (b) was higher for CON than MO substrates. Fractional rate of fermentation (c) increased from 10 to 100% MO levels. The half time (t1/2) of gas production was substantially reduced with MO supplementation. The volume of gas at t1/2 was significantly lower at 30%. TDOMR was analogous amongst the treatments, however, MBP and PF were higher at 30% level relative to 10 and 20% MO levels. Hence, it may be deduced that supplementation of moringa foliage to cereal straw-based substrate considerably improved the gas production, fractional rate of fermentation, TDOMR, MBP and PF in cattle inoculum.

The great expectation of the dairy owners from the frozen semen industry is quality semen with high fertility. Many researchers concentrate in this area to produce frozen semen of high quality and fertility. However, the problem still exists to minimize or reduce the cryoinjury related damages that occur during the process of cryopreservation with the use of all kinds of semen additives. The success rate of the additives added semen is variable at a larger scale. Therefore, any new molecules which can effectively prevent or minimize the cryoinjury are warranted and it could be low cost substances. Our incidental finding and protein identification with molecular weight ≈ 19 kDa (cold-inducible RNA-binding protein CIRBP) in goat spermatozoa seems to be effective in minimizing cryoinjury. The identified CIRBP was confirmed via Western blotting. In future, further studies are needed to confirm the molecular mechanism of the CIRBP on the cryoinjury as semen additives, and application of this protein added semen in the field to improve the level of conception rate in cattle.

Agricultural Rituals as the Ceremonial Cycle of the Nyishi Tribe
Authors: Ramya Tame
Published: July 2022

The present paper intends to narrate some agricultural rites and rituals, specifically of jhum cultivation of the Nyishi tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, taking Kurung Kumey district as the case study. These rites form the part of ritual cycle and lingering as crucial in the community lives in relation to agriculture. Nyishis, the people belong to one of the major tribal groups of Arunachal Pradesh i.e. Nyishi are dependent on jhumming, wet-rice cultivation, and a cash economy for their subsistence needs. Indeed, for several households, the cash sector is crucial in enabling them to meet their subsistence needs in present day situation. Notwithstanding the extent to which Nyishis are dependent on an external economy, jhum agriculture is regarded as the dominant form of subsistence production within the community. This particular perception of jhumming is based on two factors: first, an understanding that jhum agriculture predates wet-rice agriculture and second, the continuing cultivation of jhum which has ensured the persistence of a religious and ritual life that remains organised around the jhum cycle.
