The method and duration of storage are crucial factors determining quality of fresh milk, as assessed by total bacterial, fat content, and protein content of fresh milk. This research aims to determine the comparison of the total bacterial count, fat content, and protein content of fresh milk stored at a low temperature and at room temperature. The research subjects used were fresh milk obtained from a single cow in a single milking process, stored at a low temperature of 4 – 6 ℃ and at room temperature, and then tested and compared for the total bacterial count, fat content, and protein content after storage for the 2nd, 4th, and 6th hours. The data obtained was statistically analyzed using the student’s t-test at a confidence level of α = 95%. The result showed that there a significant difference (p<0,05) in total bacterial and fat content. Within 6 hours, at a low temperature, total bacterial increased from the initial 3,07 × 105 cfu/ml to 5,95 × 105 cfu/ml, while at room temperature, it rose to 21.02 × 105 cfu/ml. The initial fat content was 4,14%, and after 6 hours of storage, at a low temperature, fat content decreased to 3,35%, whereas at room temperature, it dropped below the SNI standard of 3 to 2,91%. As for the protein content of the milk, both at low and room temperatures, the protein did not decrease and did not show a significant difference (p<0,05). It can be concluded that up to two hours of storage, the quality of milk is not affected by temperature. However, after being stored for more than two hours, the storage temperature does impact the total bacterial count and the fat content of the milk.

Political Polarization and Internal Conflict: A Cross-National Analysis Using Popular Support and Government Cohesion as Proxies
Authors: Parsons Brandon
Published: January 2024

The study uses proxies of political polarization, popular support of the government, and government cohesion, to examine its role in explaining internal conflict and the specific types of political violence and civil disorder. The study uses panel data from 135 countries from 1990 to 2021. The research uses two econometric models, Quantile via Moments, to examine the effects of popular support and government cohesion across the distribution of internal conflict, and two-way fixed effects with Driscoll and Kraay standard errors. The two models account for heteroscedasticity, cross-sectional dependence, and autocorrelation. The study finds popular support of the government and its cohesion robustly explain internal conflict and its specific forms of political violence and civil disorder. The research also finds political polarization that reduces popular support and government cohesion influences internal conflict regardless of regime type. The variables are significant from autocratic to democratic, suggesting political polarization that reduces popular support and government cohesion can negatively affect internal conflict levels irrespective of regime.  Finally, the study finds the internet has a minor mitigating impact on internal conflict, while its interaction with popular support and government cohesion slightly exacerbates internal conflict.

Authors: Qwader Amjad S.
Published: January 2024

This study aimed to examine the impact of public governance quality on the market value of companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange from 2002 to 2021. The study utilized the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to analyze slow-moving distributed time series. The findings indicated a significant and positive correlation between various indicators of quality of public governance, such as voting and accountability, political stability and absence of violence, and organizational quality, with the market value of the listed companies. These results align with economic theory assumptions. However, in terms of Monetary freedom, another important indicator of the quality of public governance, the study found no statistically significant relationship with the market value of the listed companies at a significant level. This observation may be attributed to the government's limited capacity to manage the country's public financial resources efficiently and effectively, particularly regarding transparent and responsible administration of taxation, debt, and government expenditure.

Hand and Eye: Study on the Relationship between Painting and Photography from Benjamin's Perspective
Authors: Yuan Lei
Published: January 2024

The birth of printing brought great changes to literature, and the continuous fragmentation of printmaking media allowed pictorial art products to flow into the market. However, no one could have imagined that just a few decades later, the birth of photography would remove the human hand from the main artistic task of image reproduction, which would henceforth be reserved for the eyes staring at the lens. Walter Benjamin, as an early scholar among Western intellectuals in the 20th century, paid attention to the study of the relationship between photography and painting. The Small History of Photography and Works of Art in the Era of Mechanical Reproduction written by him can be regarded as classic works of photographic theory, modern cultural theory and modern art theory. His focus is on the juxtaposition study of photography and painting, two art categories that are both visual image presentation, which is pioneering, original and foundational. Although the paper is not long, the game between symbol and image, politics and economy, and subjective and objective is particularly wonderful. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to dig deeper into Benjamin's theoretical connotation and fully reveal his value in all aspects. The combination of the relationship between painting and photography has also injected impetus into the construction of contemporary visual culture.

Authors: Ali Ahmad  , Abdu Abdullahi Muhammad
Published: January 2024

Mentha piperita has numerous pharmacological, cosmetic and alimental applications due to its ability to produce terpene and terpenoid compounds. Antioxidants are considered as important bioactive compound on account of many health benefits along with their vital role in delaying oxidative rancidity of numerous food. The study was to investigate acute toxicity evaluation and in vitro antioxidant activity of hydro-ethanol leave extracts of M. piperita. The acute toxicity was evaluate in rat according to (OECD). Animals were daily observed for 24 hours after treatment for mortality. The antioxidant activity of the extract was evaluated based on the method such as DPPH radical scavenging activity and reducing power method. The results showed that mortality was not observed in phase one but was observed in phase two. The LD50 by oral route in rat was less than 5000 mg/kg body weight. The percentage of antioxidant activity of leaf extracts of M. piperita was assessed by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical assay, reducing power (RP) assay, ferric reducing/antioxidant power assay, and nitric oxide (NO) radical scavenging assay. The analysis revealed that NO scavenging activity is higher than DPPH with extract. NO and DPPH exhibited remarkable antioxidant activity. This indicates that the hydro-ethanol leave extract of M. piperita has a good antioxidant activity.

The experiment was performed to check the lethal toxicity of aqueous extract of Calotropis procera on Clarias gariepinus juveniles. A range finding test was done and the concentrations for the definitive tests were determined. A total of 150 African catfish juveniles of average weight 9.37±0.08g were randomly selected and distributed into four treatments in triplicates of 20mg/L, 40mg/l, 60mg/L, 80mg/L  concentrations and a control (0.00) using a static bioassay test over a period of 96 hours. Behavioral responses observed during exposure of the fish to lethal concentrations included erratic swimming, air gulping, haemorrhage, loss of equilibrium and sudden death. All data obtained were summarised using descriptive statistics for the mortality, water quality parameters, growth performance and nutrient utilization. While one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to assess differences in means among the concentrations and Duncan multiple range tests was used to separate the means, where there was a difference. Physico-chemical water parameters and haematological parameters showed various significant difference among the treatments (P< 0.05). C. procera at higher concentrations of 40mg/L and above was highly toxic to fish, which led to erratic behavior and mortality.

Authors: Abdelmonem Mohamed , Albert Emmellie Laura , Alhadad Maha A. , Abdullah Che A.
Published: January 2024

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and glioblastoma tumors (GB), represent a spectrum of disorders characterized by progressive neuronal degeneration. This gradual deterioration presents significant challenges in early diagnosis and treatment. As a solution, iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have emerged as promising materials due to their diminutive size and inherent biocompatibility, which facilitates bypassing the blood-brain barrier (BBB), thereby serving as effective targeted nanocarriers for neuroprotective therapeutics, offering efficient delivery to the brain. Furthermore, IONPs demonstrate efficacy as T1/T2 contrast agents (CAs), offering a novel diagnostic tool for various NDDs, emphasizing GB. Despite the expanding potential of IONPs in the management of NDDs, a clear gap exists in developing environmentally sustainable synthesis methods. Such methods must adhere to ecological standards and enable the production of nanoparticles capable of efficiently crossing the BBB. This is essential for precisely delivering and monitoring therapeutic interventions in diseases such as AD, PD, and GB. This review systematically explores the potential of green-synthesized IONPs in the context of NDD treatment. In this review, we emphasize different functionalization techniques for IONPs, tackling how these functionalized IONPs can be effective therapeutic approaches for NDDs. Moreover, we discuss biosafety and biocompatibility by covering a range of in vitro biocompatibility studies to analyze the safety of green-synthesized IONPs for the human body. Furthermore, our thorough analysis discussed the current state of green-synthesized IONPs using plant extracts polyphenols, which also act as neuroprotective agents, as proved by studies mentioned in the review.

Introducción. La elevación de margen profundo (DME) es una alternativa menos invasiva que el alargamiento coronario y la extrusión ortodóntica, ofreciendo menor de costo y tiempo clínico. Implica elevar el margen de cavidades subgingivales para mantener la salud periodontal y prevenir la acumulación de bacterias. Considerar una distancia mínima de 3 milímetros entre la cavidad y la cresta ósea. La elección del material y el sistema adhesivo juega un papel importante en la adaptación marginal. Los compuestos de resina fluida se destacan en la adaptación marginal, aunque no son adecuados para cargas termomecánica, lo que sugiere por compuestos precalentados. Objetivo.  Analizar la integridad marginal y el estado periodontal de los materiales utilizados para DME. Metodología. Este estudio es una revisión sistemática que sigue las normas de PRISMA. Se realizaron búsquedas exhaustivas en múltiples bases de datos hasta julio de 2023 y se aplicaron criterios de inclusión que se centraron en estudios que incorporaron la técnica DME. Se identificaron 692 artículos, de los cuales 23 cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión y fueron analizados en detalle. Resultados. Abordar lesiones de caries proximales subgingivales con DME para mejorar la adaptación y la salud periodontal de los tejidos circundantes. Se discuten diversos materiales utilizados para la DME, pero persiste la falta de consenso sobre la elección del material y la técnica. Se observa una controversia en estudios que evalúan la influencia de la DME en la adaptación marginal. Además, la importancia de mantener una distancia adecuada entre el margen de la restauración y la cresta ósea para la salud periodontal. Conclusión. La DME muestra una buena adaptación en condiciones de laboratorio y puede ser útil en situaciones de acceso limitado bajo las encías. La reacción de los tejidos periodontales al DME aún no está clara, por lo tanto, el impacto del DME sobre el periodonto sigue sin ser concluyente. Área de estudio general: Odontología.

Navigating Isolated Post-Traumatic Radial Head Dislocation in Adolescents: A Case Report from Bangladesh Emphasizing Management Strategies
Authors: Hamid Kawser , Hasan Mohammad Mainul
Published: January 2024

Background: Isolated anterior dislocation of the radial head is a rare orthopedic injury, oftenpresenting with distinct clinical features and requiring specialized management. We report the case of an 18-year-old female who presented to our hospital 5 months post-injury, complaining of restricted left elbow joint movement and pain following a fall from a low chair at home. Clinical examination revealed tenderness and anterior dislocation of the radial head, confirmed by radiographs showing isolated anterior dislocation without associated fractures. Closed reduction attempts failed, leading to an open reduction of radial head in combination with correction of malignant with ulnar osteotomy and reconstruction of annular ligament and radio-ulnar Kirschner wire placement for stabilization. An upper arm cast was applied with the forearm in neutral rotation for six weeks. At the 12-month follow-up, the patient exhibited a satisfactory range of motion within reference values, comprising 0-140 degrees of flexion-extension arc, 70 degrees of pronation, and 85 degrees of supination. This range aligned with standards set by the American Society for Surgery of the Hand. The patient reported no impediments in daily activities and returned to her pre-injury level of sports activity based on the Tegner scale. This case underscores the complexity of managing isolated anterior radial head dislocation, highlighting the significance of prompt diagnosis, appropriate reduction techniques, and meticulous postoperative care to achieve optimal functional outcomes.

The field experiment was conducted at Nabogram Agro Farm, Mannannagar, Sadar, Noakhali during the period from October 2020 to January 2021 to evaluate the effect of different organic fertilizers on the growth and yield of broccoli (Brassica oleraceae var. italica). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) consisting of five treatments with three replications. The five treatments were T0 (No manure), T1 (Cowdung 5 t ha-1), T2 (Trichocompost 5 t ha-1), T3 (Vermicompost 5 t ha-1), T4 (Cowdung 50% + Trichocompost 50%) and T5 (Cowdung 50% + Vermicompost 50%). Data were collected in respect of plant growth and yield indicating characters at harvest. All the recorded parameters were statistically significant. For 100% curd initiation, maximum time (61 days) was recorded from T0 (Control), while minimum days (55 days) were recorded from T2 (Trichocompost 5 t ha-1). At harvest, the maximum plant height (64.70 cm), leaf length (35.05 cm), leaf breadth (32.32 cm), number of leaves per plant (14.66), the weight of full plant (1158.27 g), the marketable weight of curd (496.67 g), individual curd weight (320.67 g), diameter of curd (13.432 cm), marketable yield (19.242 t ha-1) were found in treatment T5 (Cowdung 50% + Vermicompost 50%) whereas lowest data recorded from treatment T0 (Control). So it is observed that T5 (Cowdung 50% + Vermicompost 50%) provides the highest results which may be more economical for the farmer according to the findings of this experiment.

Yard long bean (Vigna unguiculata) is an important leguminous crop in tropical countries. It is a very common vegetable cultivated by the farmers of the South Asian countries including Bangladesh. The popularity of this vegetable is increasing due to its good taste and nutritive value. An experiment based on Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications was conducted at the Agricultural Research Field, Noakhali Science and Technology University, Noakhali, Bangladesh, from October 2021 to December 2021 to evaluate the growth and yield performance of four varieties of yard long bean. The varieties were FLK-203, FLK-204, FLK-205, FLK-206. The study revealed that the highest plant height (261.8) was recorded in the Yard-long bean FLK-206 followed by FLK-203 (239.1). The first flowering (31.33 DAP) was found in variety FLK-203 followed by variety FLK-204 (36 DAP). The highest number of pods plant-1 (25.33) was found in Yard long bean variety FLK-204 followed by variety FLK-206 (18.33) plant-1. Maximum fruit length (67.56 cm) was recorded in variety FLK-206 followed by yard-long bean variety FLK-204 (56.16). The highest pod girth (1.06 cm) was in the yard long bean variety FLK-203 followed by FLK-204 (0.8 cm). Maximum number of seed pod-1 (20.66) was found in variety FLK-203 followed by FLK-206 (18.66). The highest weight of 10 seeds (2.21) was found in variety FLK-206 followed by variety FLK-204 (1.16). The highest fresh weight pod-1 (32.4 gm) was in the yard long bean variety FLK-203 followed by FLK-204 (24.23 gm). The highest yield pod-1 (690.26 gm) was in yard-long bean variety FLK-203 followed by FLK-206 (506.2 gm). The highest pod yield ha-1 (82.73 t ha-1) was recorded in yard-long bean FLK-203 followed by FLK-206 (60.73 t ha-1). So, the variety Yard long bean FLK-203 was found superior based on the overall performance for cultivation under the Argo-climatic condition of Noakhali.

In Apis, biodiversity studies at genetic and molecular level were done to identify the proteins responsible for polymorphism in different species of Apis viz. Apis florea F., Apis dorsata F., Apis cerana F. and Apis mellifera L. from north-west region of India using SDS-Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Some species specific protein bands were obtained by SDS-PAGE technique followed by Commassie BB staining and silver staining. The present results revealed that the total content of proteins was highest in A. dorsata with highest number of protein bands unique to species followed by A. mellifera, A. florea and A. cerana. Most prominent were at 38.7 kDa and 35.3 kDa in A. dorsata; 46.4 kDa and 29.0 kDa in A. florea; 83.9 kDa and 40.4 kDa in A. mellifera and 61.0 kDa and 27.9 kDa in A. cerana respectively. Some species specific protein bands with silver staining were as 33.6 and 59.2 kDa in Apis florea; 57.2 kDa in A. dorsata; 49.6 and 63.6 kDa in A. mellifera and 36.1 and 38.8 kDa in A. cerana. Based on identification of these unique bands, it is concluded that the species with wide geographic distribution have large number of protein bands as compared to species with least distribution area.
