COMPARAÇÃO DE QUATRO PROTOCOLOS DE AVALIAÇÃO RÁPIDA DE RIOS APLICADOS NOS CÓRREGOS DE MARIPÁ (PR)
Authors: Jung Mariza Martins de Jesus , Fernandez Oscar Vicente Quinonez
Published: July 2023

RESUMO: A aplicação do protocolo de avaliação rápida de rios (PAR) tem muita importância no levantamento das condições ambientais dos riachos. O presente trabalho objetiva aplicar os protocolos de Callisto, Moretti e Goulart (2001), Guimarães, Rodrigues e Malafaia (2012), Baião (2014) e Machado (2019) em córregos do município de Maripá, Oeste do Paraná e comparar os resultados. A proposta de Callisto, Moretti e Goulart (2001) foi adotada neste trabalho como referência na avaliação de habitats aquáticos, por se tratar de um protocolo pioneiro no Brasil e incluir maior número de parâmetros. As pontuações finais obtidas em cada ponto de monitoramento aplicando os quatro protocolos foram normatizados, já que cada proposta apresenta categorias de classificação organizadas em escalas diferentes. Os valores normatizados mostraram que os protocolos produziram resultados equivalentes. Esta constatação nos leva a sugerir que tanto o protocolo de Guimarães, Rodrigues e Malafaia (2012) como o de Baião (2014) e Machado (2019), todos mais simples e menos extensos que o de Callisto, Moretti e Goulart (2001), podem ser adotados em escolas e colégios de Maripá e municípios da região, como instrumento de educação ambiental. A compatibilidade dos protocolos verificada nesta pesquisa, deve ser observada com reservas, já que esta condição pode não se repetir em outros ambientes com condições de relevo, clima, vegetação e uso da terra diferentes.

Published: July 2023

RESUMO: O estudo traz algumas considerações sobre o processo de financeirização, que passou a se manifestar mais nitidamente a partir dos anos de 1990 na economia mundial. Isso mudou o comportamento e as estratégias de acumulação de capital das corporações empresariais, de forma a verificar como a corporação do agronegócio Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) se organizou financeiramente para desenvolver suas estratégias de crescimento. E entre os anos de 2008 a 2021, tal crescimento trouxe reflexos sobre a geografia dos investimentos realizados. Para isso, utilizamos os dados públicos contidos nos Relatórios 10-k que são enviados anualmente pela ADM à Securitities and Exchange Commission (SEC), dos Estados Unidos, e informações levantadas por meio de outras fontes secundárias e entrevista. Com uma abordagem dialética materialista, o trabalho abrangerá duas crises econômicas mundiais – 2007/2008 e da COVID 19 – e um período de normalidade econômica, para mostrar a relação existente entre seu master trust e a obtenção de crédito em diferentes praças financeiras mundiais e em diferentes períodos.

PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Financeirização; corporações; acumulação de capital; capital fictício; geografia econômica.

Published: July 2023

The aim of this study is to examine perceived social support and levels of happiness in mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder. The study group of the research consists of 30 mothers providing primary care to 30 subjects (5 girls and 25 boys) aged 7-25 attending the Armağan Dönertaş Handicapped Children Education and Rehabilitation Application and Research Centre of Trakya University, and who were in the autism spectrum disorder group according to the DSM-5 criteria. In line with the purpose of the study, the participants were asked to respond to the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, whose Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Doğan and Akıncı-Çötok (2011), and the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, whose Turkish validity and reliability study was carried out by Arkar and Yaldız (2001). Based on the findings of the study, it was determined that the highest perception of social support was for Family Support. Furthermore, when evaluated in terms of standard deviations, it was determined that there was a more homogeneous distribution in this dimension compared to the others. It was seen that the distributions in the other dimensions were slightly above the mean. Considering the distribution of the happiness questionnaire, it was determined that the distribution was close to the mean. Moreover, it was determined that the minimum score was 77 and that the maximum score that could be obtained from the scale was 139, not 174. It was seen that the distribution was in the range of 62 points and remained within a limited structure. The findings of the study show that there was no significant relationship between the items of Happiness and Perceived Social Support. It is predicted that mothers’ levels of happiness will increase by benefitting from professional social support resources and services provided by social care experts.
The State of Geriatric and Gerontology Education in Ghana: A Literature Review
Authors: Asante Samuel , Karikari Grace
Published: July 2023

The rise in older population in Ghana is accompanied by challenges that may require trained professionals with specialized knowledge in geriatrics and gerontology to help address. Research, however, points to an existing shortage of geriatric-trained professionals in Ghana; a problem that can be addressed with the education and training of students with interest in aging. This paper offers a review of the state of geriatric and gerontology education in Ghana. The paper specifically examines current geriatric-focused training programs in public universities, and existing national aging policies with implications for the development and implementation of aging education in institutions of higher learning in Ghana. The review findings point to an urgent need for governmental and institutional commitment to promote aging studies as a component of health professions curricula in Ghana. Critical steps to prioritizing and forging a path to instituting geriatric and gerontology education in Ghana are discussed.

Published: July 2023

In this contribution, we present a predictive tool developed to help in the management of the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic situation in Rio Grande do Sul (RS) - Brazil. This tool is the result of georeferenced data analysis, mathematical modeling, and parameter calibration for the dynamics of a SIR-type model defined on a spatial structure that allows distinct subpopulations to interact, similar to the controlled distancing (A_l for l = 1, ···, 21) groupings proposed by the RS government and public health authorities. The predictive analysis, updated biweekly, provides three distinct scenarios per month (milder, average, and severe) and is made available as WebSIGs (Geographic Information System - GIS). The forecast of the average scenario for each Al group is the result of a simulation of the proposed SIRtype dynamics with calibrated parameters derived from an augmented Lagrangian maximum a posteriori estimation and data on the number of infected cases made available by the RS Health Secretariat. The milder and severe scenarios are obtained from the average scenario, with changes in the contagion rates of each Al group. When compared to the number of infections reported in each Al group, the modeling predictions for a biweekly time window (the first two weeks) were quite satisfactory, with errors ranging from 0% to 5.13%, gradually increasing over time. Therefore, we suggest a biweekly re-calibration of the parameters and corresponding forecasts as a wise strategy.

Published: July 2023

Vector-borne diseases are a cause of concern all around the world, especially in Brazil. In the past few years, the Brazilian health system faced recurrent epidemics such as Dengue and Malaria as well as new cases of Chikungunya, Zika and Yellow Fever. Vector control continues to be one of the most important counter measures against these types of diseases. Mathematical models are important tools for planning vector control strategies. In this work we present an approach in order to calculate what is the minimum vector control intensity to obtain stability in a simple population’s dynamics model of mosquitoes.We combined numerical simulations with analytic results. Transcritical bifurcations appear in our analysis considering different control’s parameters values for the eggs, larvae, pupae and adults mosquitoes populations. A discussion about combined strategies of vector control was also showed.
The Sooner Strict Public Health Strategies are Applied the Lower the Peak of the Epidemic: the SARS-CoV-2 Case

Published: July 2023

An epidemiological model is proposed to analyze the COVID-19 epidemics when control interventions are being applied to reduce the speed of the disease. The analyzed model includes parameters that describe control strategies such as behavioral changes of susceptible individuals to reduce the transmission of the disease, rates of diagnosis of the infectious individuals, and other control measures as cleaning and disinfection of contaminated environments. The proposed model is calibrated using Bayesian statistics and the official cumulative confirmed cases forCOVID-19 in Mexico. We show which public health strategies contribute the most to the variation of $R_0$. A central result is the fact that the peak of the epidemics can drastically be changed depending on the time when the control strategies are introduced.
Islamic Articulation of the Carpe Diem Motif in Herrick's "To Daffodils": A Post-Structuralist and Intertextual Inquiry
Authors: Alam Md. Saiful , Akhter Humayra , Patwary Md. Nurullah , Fatema Sayeda
Published: July 2023

While Herrick is known for his religious poetry, the intersection of Islam and his work has not been explored in existing literature. The article examines the potential for Islamic meanings within Robert Herrick's poem "To Daffodils" through post-structuralist and intertextual lenses of literary analysis. The study employs the tenets of post-structuralism to explore the poem's thematic significance in relation to Islam. The analysis takes into account the temporal context of Herrick's 17th century era and the emergence of secularism, as well as the notion of the universality of Islam. The study concludes that the poem serves as a powerful reminder of the transient nature of human life, which is also a central theme in Islamic ethos. Herrick's work can be seen as an exemplar of Islamic knowledge, which imparts messages to humans about the temporality of life and its purposes and its eventual end. This article highlights the importance of Islamic reading of Herrick’s literature conveying important messages about the human condition and the significance of contemplating the ephemeral nature of life.
KONSTRUKSI MOTIF DALAM PEMBUKTIAN PERKARA PIDANA
Authors: Henok Adrianus Herman
Published: July 2023

Hans Jonas in the Ethics of Responsibility states that "Every time you take an action, also imagine the consequences of that action, meaning that if the action is bad then also imagine the bad consequences that will occur, conversely if the action is good then also imagine the good consequences that will occur, or in other words every action has good consequences such as rewards, as well as bad consequences, such as punishment." The purpose of this study is to examine the construction of motives in proving a criminal case based on positive law in Indonesia. The method used is normative juridical with analytical descriptive analysis by searching secondary data through various relevant legal materials. From the research it was concluded that motive plays an important role in proving the elements of a crime in a criminal case, especially those associated with elements of error and in the future motives will be increasingly relevant in relation to the goals and guidelines of sentencing.

Cultivating Empathy through Communication: Understanding Others to Improve Relationships
Authors: Husain Yasin
Published: July 2023

Understanding and sharing another person's emotions is a necessary skill for building rapport and sharing ideas. It might be challenging to cultivate empathy in a world where people so frequently prioritize their own needs and points of view. In light of the current political split and the COVID-19 epidemic, this research explores the implications of empathy in these two very different contexts. Empathy is emphasized as a means to better relationships and a more caring society. We examine specific methods and strategies for encouraging empathy in everyday interactions and emphasize the benefits of empathic communication. By highlighting the importance of empathy and providing tangible techniques to enhance it through communication, this article aims to assist individuals and communities in building deeper understanding, connection, and well-being.

Published: July 2023

Phytoremediation is a technique that uses plants to increase dispersion or stabilize pollution in the environment, and acts by decomposing and absorbing heavy metals by the rhizosphere. Being propitiated by the low cost, ease of implantation, good public acceptance and, because it is not invasive, it can be applied in situ. Thus, the objective of this work was to identify studies on the phytoremediation of heavy metals with the species Schizolobium amazonicum Huber ex Ducke (Paricá) to verify its effective collaboration in minimizing damage caused to nature. The research was developed based on literature reviews to verify if the Paricá plant can be used in areas that require extraction, degradation, and containment or immobilization of contaminants. With this research, it is possible to investigate the need for more studies that can apply phytoremediation with this type of plant in anthropized places.

Authors: Pacheco Conceição de Maria Melo e Alvim , Araújo Marco Antônio Pereira , Pacheco Leonardo Alvim , Pacheco Juliana Alvim , Norberg Antonio Neres , Queiroz Margareth Maria de Carvalho
Published: July 2023

O descarte de fármacos tem se tornado um desafio do ponto de vista da saúde ambiental e em saúde pública, uma vez que no mundo a presença de fármacos tem sido identificada em vários ecótopos (tanto na água quanto no solo) devido ao descarte indevido de medicamentos parcialmente utilizados ou alterados, e da excreção de metabólitos que não são eliminados no processo de tratamento de esgoto. Neste trabalho objetivou-se analisar com uso de ferramenta estatística o descarte de drogas anestésicas selecionadas para uso em indução anestésica durante os procedimentos cirúrgicos. Foram selecionadas três drogas utilizadas na indução anestésica: fentanil, clonidina e propofol. O estudo foi conduzido analisando-se dez procedimentos cirúrgicos, constituindo assim o total de 10 amostras por droga, para tanto foram selecionadas três drogas utilizadas na indução anestésica para cada procedimento: fentanil, clonidina e propofol. Testes de normalidade foram realizados a fim de determinar a utilização de um teste estatístico paramétrico ou não paramétrico, proporcionando uma análise das médias. Os resultados foram considerados significativos a um nível de significância de 5%. A partir da análise estatística observou-se que os dados não apresentavam distribuição normal, e as médias de descartes entre as drogas eram diferentes. Concluiu-se que estes resultados condizem com o esperado, pois diferentes fatores interferem na quantidade de drogas a ser utilizada durante a cirurgia, como a própria natureza do fármaco, tempo de cirurgia, estado hemodinâmico do paciente, idade, tipo de cirurgia, entre outros.
Dissolution-permeation of hot-melt extruded amorphous solid dispersion comprising an experimental grade of HPMCAS
Authors: Tanaka Hironori , Miyano Tetsuya , Ueda Hiroshi
Published: July 2023

Background and purpose: Physicochemical properties of an amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) comprising an experimental grade of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS-MX) with lower glass transition temperature have been previously investigated. This study aimed to evaluate applicability of HPMCAS-MX to hot-melt extrusion (HME) and dissolution-permeation performance of prepared ASDs using MicroFLUX. Review approach: A physical mixture of indomethacin (IMC) and HPMCAS-MX or -MG (a commercial grade with higher transition temperature) at 20:80 weight ratio was hot-melt extruded to prepare an ASD (IMC-MX and IMC-MG, respectively). The dissolution-permeation performance and the stability of the ASDs were measured. Key results: A torque reduction at 120 °C implied that IMC-MX transformed into an amorphous state at this temperature, but IMC-MG required around 170 °C. This result was supported by Raman mapping of the the HME samples. IMC-MG and IMC-MX remained in an amorphous state at 40 °C for three months. The initial dissolution rate and solubility of the ASDs were higher than that of crystalline IMC. The apparent permeability of IMC from IMC-MX and IMC-MG was comparable but was approximately two-fold higher than that from crystalline IMC. Conclusion: HPMCAS-MX enabled HME process at a lower temperature and improved the dissolution-permeation performance of indomethacin.

Authors: Dewangan Rakhi , Sonber Basant Kumar , Modi Ahlad
Published: July 2023

The present review explores the relationship between adolescent mental health issues

and academic stress. Mental health problems are prevalent and significant concerns

among contemporary adolescents. While various factors may contribute to poor mental

health, academic stress appears to be the primary factor, stemming from factors such

as academic demands, competitive environments, hectic schedules, stringent discipline,

limited social skills, and parental expectations regarding academic performance. A

comprehensive examination of studies conducted between 2000 and 2022 was taken

to investigate these variables. The analysis reveals a substantial influence of academic

stress on determining the mental health status of adolescents.

Published: July 2023

Adolescence is a period of transition between childhood and adulthood. It is a phase

of life marked by special attributes including rapid physical growth and development;

physical, social and psychological maturity. The present review focuses on adolescents’

social perspective taking in context of social justice as demonstrated by their awareness

and interpretations.In this paper, focus is laid on literature related to mental health

and social justice, social perspective that contributes to our knowledge of adolescents’

development of comprehensions of social diversity. It provides the theoretical empirical

background for observing adolescents’ perspective taking capacities in context of social

justice. Another part of this paper is focused on different problems and social injustice

towards adolescents’ which is one of the critical problems of world today.Social justice

is defined as “promoting a just society by challenging injustice and valuing diversity.”

It exists when “all people share a common humanity and therefore have a right to

equitable treatment, support for their human rights, and a fair allocation of community

resources. Social justice is generally equated with the notion of equality or equal

opportunity in society. Although equality is undeniably a part of social justice, the

meaning of social justice is much broader. Further, this review focuses upon problems

the adolescents of rural community, what type of psychosocial problems they are facing

and why they are not being benefited by governmental policies and programmes.
PROSPECTS AND POLICIES FOR TOURISM IN ITS GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
Authors: Handszuh Henryk
Published: July 2023

Purpose. In yet another attempt to analyse the tourism phenomenon in perspective, the aim of this paper is not necessarily to predict the quantitative future of tourism worldwide. It is rather to review the circumstances and mechanisms in their geopolitical context, by which it may, or even must, evolve in the mid- and long-term. This is due to its importance for contemporary society and the barriers to its further growth. It then pretends to recall the expectations deposited in tourism, for example, on the establishment of the World Tourism Organization, and to review the very meaning and essence of tourism as part of the movements of persons, when confronted with policies or their lack in this area. General prospects and challenges of tourism are briefly addressed from the demand, supply, trade and investment perspectives, as viewed from respective international organizations and its principal geopolitical actors, notably Europe and her overseas extensions (also China).Methods. Critical analysis and clarification of the apparently established views about tourism and its nature, based on the author`s work experience in relation to this activity: as a tour leader, government official, international civil servant and academic lecturer. The said analysis is supported by scrutiny regarding the relevant parts of tourism policy documents produced over years by international organizations.Findings. In a follow-up to the escalating health, economic, social and environmental crises affecting the world community, tourism, as a consumption, production, trade and investment activity, should not continue by following the rule of business-as-usual. When reconsidered as an intrinsic part of the entire economy and social life, it rather requires, alongside and not apart from, other human activities, to be essentially, politically, structurally and gradually, if not radically, intervened. This should result from international agreement among constituencies at large - governments, industry the private sector, civil society patronised by international organizations.Research and conclusions limitations. The findings represent a personal expert opinion verified by desk research of activities undertaken by international organizations. The veracity of the suggested recommendations would require response, validation and constructive action of the parties and the big players concerned in the field of tourism, to result from their continuous and constructive dialogue.Practical implications. Contribution to the international debate on tourism policymaking and the role of the World Tourism Organization.Originality. Bringing up the nature and essence of tourism, its unfulfilled promises, messages of the World Tourism Conference (1980) and the activities of international organizations.Type of paper: Review paper based on the analysis of literature and reports of international organizations.
TOURISM: A SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC STABILISER? THREE SCENARIOS FOR THE FUTURE OF TOURISM AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR TOURISM POLICY
Authors: Lanquar Robert
Published: July 2023

Purpose. The miracle regarding the exceptional growth of tourism since the end of World War 2 has become a mirage with the COVID-19. However, in 2022, tourism is strongly coming back. Do we have to believe in its eternal resilience, do we not already see its limits? Tourism will not be able to develop as it is in a world threatened by climate change, the loss of biodiversity and the multiplication of inequalities.Method. The author, interviewing more than 100 experts with the Likert scale (list of questions are included in the annex at the end of the paper: the respondents/experts answered as follows: total agreement, agreement, without opinion, disagreement, total disagreement) in the world, hypothesizes that tourism can only last if it is responsible and supportive, and if it is part of progressive and territorial social - environmental policies within the globalisation in the Society World.Findings. Three scenarios describe that the situation. The first scenario, based on past trends, leads to disorder, the second scenario, too focused on simple sustainable development in an ultraliberal economy with more inequalities (gentrification) and globalisation of the economy and finance. The third scenario Towards smart tourism and a circular economy seems to be the least risky to major crises, and that it would reconcile policies for the reduction of inequality and the fight against climate change.Research conclusions and limitations. COVID-19 has accelerated the changes in the vision of tourism; it seems that the climate emergency will have even greater consequences from 2025.Originality. Our research started just before the COVID-19 (early 2020) pandemic and was conclude after the massive vaccination (summer 2022).Type of paper. Theoretical paper/prospective essay.

AS SINGULARIDADES DO ILUMINISMO FRANCÊS E BRITÂNICO: UMA RELAÇÃO COM O “LUGAR SOCIAL”
Authors: Rodrigues Giselle , Menezes Sezinando Luiz
Published: July 2023

O artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre as particularidades do movimento iluminista francês e britânico, empregando o conceito de “lugar social” como referencial teórico e metodológico. Com grande influência no Ocidente europeu durante o século XVIII, o Iluminismo foi um movimento cultural complexo que apresentou uma diversidade de ideias, práticas e significados. Na França o movimento pretendia transformar de uma forma revolucionária as estruturas de governo, de religião e de cultura por meio do princípio da “razão”. Na Inglaterra, pelo contrário, os teóricos iluministas não vislumbravam realizar uma reforma política e religiosa no sentido radical, mas sim propor discussões em torno de práticas que promovessem o “bem estar social”.

Published: July 2023

A research aims to examine the physiology, growth and yield of rice in several varieties of rice plants with System of Rice Intensification and conventional irrigation methods. The study was conducted using 3x4 factorial strip plot design arranged in a Completely Randomized Block Design with 3 blocks as replications. The first factor was the type of irrigation that had 3 treatments, i.e.,  irrigation, intermittent irrigation: 10 days inundated, 5 days drained and intermittent irrigation: 7 days flooding, 3 days drying. The second factor was the rice varieties consisting of 4 varieties, i.e., Rojolele Genjah, Mentik Wangi, Mentik Susu and Cempo Hitam.The results showed that the plant height of the Rojolele Genjah variety was higher than other varieties. The grain yield per hectare of Mentik Wangi, Mentik Susu and Cempo Hitam varieties were higher than the Rojolele Genjah Variety. The treatment of irrigation for 7 days of flooding and 3 days of drying was greater than other irrigation for panicle length, and harvest index. CGR of conventional irrigation treatment was greater than intermittent irrigation. There was interaction between varieties and irrigation on the leaf area of rice plants, which in Cempon Hitam Variety with irrigation intermittently 10 days of flooding 5 days drying had the broadest leave area.

Authors: Kwak Min Ji , Jones Matthew , Mills Courtney , York Kimberly , Auletti Jacqueline , Amjad Nuzha , Balan Prakash , Warner Mark
Published: July 2023

Background

Optimal delirium care requires a multicomponent approach. However, implementation of such comprehensive care in a fast-paced specialized unit like acute cardiac care unit is challenging. The Age-Friendly Health System (AFHS) 4Ms initiative focuses on four key components, What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility, and provides a simple but comprehensive framework for optimal delirium care. However, studies reporting the application of AFHS 4Ms focusing on delirium care are lacking.

Objective

We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of the AFHS 4Ms on delirium detection and management among older adults in acute cardiac care units.

Methods

We conducted a quality improvement (QI) project using the AFHS 4Ms framework and implemented specific strategies for each M in the acute cardiac care units at a tertiary teaching hospital. Then, we assessed the changes in the rates of delirium screening and the rates of positive screening results during the QI project period using Cochran-Armitage test, and compared the percentages of older adults who received delirium-related orders before and after the initiative using Fisher’s exact test.

Results

The overall rate of delirium screening was 79.5% (68.3% in August, 81.0% in September, 87.2% in October, 87.9% in November, and 72.9% in December). The overall rate of positive delirium screening results was 9.3% (6.3% in August, 10.8% in September, 8.5% in October, 6.0% in November, and 5.0% in December). The utilization of all of the delirium-related orders was reduced, 2.4% to 1.9% for haloperidol, 6.9% to 5.1% for lorazepam, 6.5% to 3.0% for a physical restraint order, and 4.1% to 2.6% for a sitter order, before and after the initiative. However, all of the decreasing trends were not statistically significant.

Conclusion

We showed that it is feasible to apply AFHS 4Ms for delirium detection and management in acute cardiac care units. Future prospective studies are needed.

The study examined the effects of herder-farmer conflict on output of food crops among respondents. A sampling technique applied was multistage sampling in selection of respondents. Data were collected through administration of questionnaire for 768 respondents out of which 648 respondents were found useful for the work. Data were analysed with the use of likert scale, regression models and descriptive statistics. The study revealed that farmer-herder conflict, hired labour, amount of money spent on seed, amount of money spent on fertilizer, age, farming experience, amount of money spent on weeding, farm size, household size and contact with extension agent have positive differential coefficient, hence, positive relationship exist between the aforementioned variables and production output. The study therefore recommends that Nigeria‘s government should  invest in the security area by consistently providing the security personnel with upgraded security gadgets and adequate security funding for training and equipping security staff in best global security practices and defensive intelligence gathering.
INFESTATION OF PEST OF PULSES LEGUME GRAINS Callosobruchus spp AND SUBSTANTIAL LOSS OF DIETARY VEGAN PROTEIN
Authors: SINGH ANAMIKA
Published: July 2023

The current study is the reviews of the work done for pest infestation in different legume pulse grains Pulse grains have been found to have different susceptibility for the attack of pulse beetle. An insect has varied fecundity on different varieties of pulses. India is agriculture based country and agriculture is the key sector of Indian economy. Including many kharif and rabbi crops, pulses are cultivated in all parts of country. Pulse cultivation has its own significant place in agriculture as it has been considered as complimentary to cereal crop in many aspects and positioned as a second most important crop plant [1].Study indicates 20-40% of dry matter of pulse grains is made up of beneficial dietary proteins [2]. Insufficiency of adequate amount of protein in diet may lead to protein energy malnutrition. Like poverty and hunger, to combat PEM is another great provocation for agriculture and nation. Pulse grains legumes are good source of protein and other nutrient materials. Crop plant of Arhar has its own advantage for agriculture. The leguminous plants are used in crop rotation to improve the fertility of soil as the root nodules harbor the nitrogen fixing bacteria; fixes atmospheric nitrogen to nitrogen compound about 72-350 kg/hectare/year . The current study emphasizes the different facts of pulse beetle and their infestation in arhar seed grains. About eight months of the year have been found to be susceptible for infestation; remarkable growth and development of pests continue during six months of the year. Arhar pulse grains are most suitable for pest infestation. Bold variety of arhar was identified to be the most preferred for maximum oviposition having larger and smooth surface area. Temperature suitable for oviposition was noticed between 28-370c. Developmental period was found to be of lesser duration and survival of adults was more in bold varieties as compared to the smaller variety. Developmental period was recorded as 24-30.3 days in bold legume grains and 26-32.3 days in smaller size grains. Survival of male and female insect pest was also different as male survived for 7-10.6 days and females for 8.3-12.6 days. Increased growth rate of insect population was there with the increase in temperature and humidity. Significant Weight loss, content loss and percent germination loss have been found in the pulse grains of both varieties in the current studies. Indian economy relies significantly on agriculture and loss and damage of complementary crop plant certainly affect it. At this point there is need to consider the condition of Mass poverty of India after pandemic covid -19 which has been ascertained after more than 45 years The outcome of pandemic recession is more than 2 fold increase in the number of poor from 60 million in a year to 134 million (Reports of downtoearth.org.in). Furthermore any rise in price would snatch the accessibility of the easily available protein diet from people living in indigence.

Bio-resources, both flora and fauna, are integral part of the indigenous healing practices used by human beings since prehistoric time. The traditional knowledge of the use of bio-resources for medicine has a significant contribution for maintaining the human health. Traditional medicine is not only a source of healing, but the practice is also an important part of their religion and culture. The study was carried out to survey and document the traditional knowledge related to medicinal uses of animals and their products among the ethnic groups of Karbi peoples. Data were collected using prepared questionnaires, personal interviews, and group discussions with the ethnic people of the tribe. A total of 42 animal species were identified to treat around 35 different ailments. Of the animals used therapeutically, 14 species were insects, 2 annelids, 1 gastropod, 2 arachnids, 2 amphibia, 4 were aves, 3 fishes, 4 were reptiles and 12 were mammals.Furthermore, the honey of the bee (Apis mellifera) was used to relieve many ailments and scored the highest fidelity value (FL=93.0%). However Rana sp. (FL=12.9%) and Oecphylla smaragdina (FL=15.7%) has the lowest fidelity level. The result shows that there is a wealth of ethnozoological knowledge if documented can be used in developing new drugs. Hence, it is hoped that the information contained in this paper will be useful in future ethno-zoological, ethnopharmacological, and conservation related research in the region.
THE AMELIORATIVE EFFECT OF VITAMIN C CO-EXPOSURE ON BISPHENOL-A INDUCED CHANGES IN SERUM UREA AND CREATININE IN Channa punctatus
Authors: YADAV VIKAS , NANGIA PARUL
Published: July 2023

Bisphenol-A is a highly controversial industrial chemical. Its large-scale production and subsequent release into the environment far exceed the ability of natural processes to degrade it. This has made Bisphenol-A ubiquitous in all environmental matrices – land, air and water. The presence of Bisphenol-A in inland water bodies raises serious concerns about its effects on aquatic fauna and on human beings. Bisphenol-A exposure is known to induce oxidative stress resulting in tissue damage in various fish species. Increase in tissue damage due to Bisphenol-A exposure is reported to result in an elevation of serum urea and creatinine. Co-exposure to antioxidants can reduce the damage due to Bisphenol-A exposure. The objective of this study was to investigate if exposure to Bisphenol-A resulted in elevated serum urea and creatinine in Channa punctatus and if co-exposure of the fish to vitamin C could ameliorate these changes. The results show that exposing Channa punctatus to Bisphenol-A for 15 days resulted in a significant increase in serum urea and creatinine after Bisphenol-A exposure. Co-exposure to vitamin C resulted in an amelioration of the increase in serum urea and creatinine. However, in groups exposed to higher concentrations of Bisphenol-A for 15 days, co-exposure to vitamin C could not completely reverse the changes in serum urea and creatinine.
