The purpose of this community service activity is to provide soft skills training in improving the ability to communicate effectively to prospective tertiary graduates. This is motivated by the lack of student communication skills, especially effective speaking communication. This mixed method research was carried out by describing the dominant qualitative data and then the data was complemented by quantitative data obtained from the survey. Qualitative data collection techniques were carried out by means of participant observation, interviews, document studies. The results showed that the main target of the training were students of the Faculty of Sharia and Tarbiyah IAIN Takengon as training participants totaling 40 people. Regarding the soft kill training method, it is carried out in 4 steps, namely: 1) prologue of training activities, 2) learning, 3) discussion and question and answer, 4) evaluation of activity results. The training process was carried out in 10 meetings, with 2 different sessions, namely listening and speaking communication skills improvement sessions. The results of the evaluation of the communication skills training activities showed that there was a significant increase in the abilities experienced by the participants. This can be seen from the data, that there was a very good increase of up to 90% of the total participants in listening communication skills. As for speaking communication skills, it was also seen that there was an increase from all participants reaching more than 50% of the total participants experiencing very good progress in improving speaking communication skills. Speaking communication skills are a bit difficult to improve. This is influenced by several factors, including aspects of courage and self-confidence of the participants that still need to be improved. Courage and low self-confidence make them shy in conveying the ideas they have in mind.

Authors: De Camargo Alisson Wilder
Published: August 2024

O presente trabalho dissertativo tem como objetivo demonstrar a possibilidade de a Polícia Militar do Paraná, por meio de normatização, usufruir do procedimento administrativo regulamentado em âmbito federal após a nova lei de abuso de autoridade, Lei nº 13.869/2019, a Investigação Preliminar Sumária - IPS, como forma de apurar as vultosas denúncias de crimes e transgressões militares infundadas, especialmente após instituição da famigerada audiência de custódia. O artigo baseia-se na vedação dos artigos 27 e 30 da Lei de Abuso de Autoridade, que criminalizam condutas referentes à abertura e ao prosseguimento de processos, procedimentos e persecução penal, civil e administrativa, sem indícios ou justa causa. Além disso, buscou-se apontar as possíveis violações de princípios constitucionais associadas aos impactos negativos da abertura desenfreada de processos e procedimentos investigativos, tais como a supressão psicológica dos militares estaduais, a desmotivação para combater o crime, e a oneração dos oficiais comandantes e graduados, os quais deixam de exercer seus cargos em ações de interesse público, paralisados pela realização de procedimentos e processos sem indícios mínimos de autoria e materialidade desde a origem. Destaca-se também, a eficiência da IPS, demonstrando que vários órgãos estaduais e federais já estão se utilizando da ferramenta, como exemplificado pela taxa de arquivamento de 83% dos casos de IPS na Polícia Rodoviária Federal.

Authors: Igben-Pender Catherine Erosie , Omemo Peter , Ng’wena Gideon
Published: August 2024

Purpose: To attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) 3- target 3.7, that highlights the need to improve women’s sexual and reproductive health status through means including family planning, information and education, a safer family planning method that could ameliorate unmet need for family planning, is urgently required. Healthcare providers’ knowledge and perception of natural family planning might influence decision of women interested in Symptothermal method (STM). We investigated healthcare providers’ factors influencing utilization of STM as a strategy to ameliorate unmet need for family planning among women in Kisumu County, Kenya.
Methodology: Focus group discussion technique was used involving 14 healthcare providers and 8 STM users purposively selected. Phenomenology approach to enquiry which aims to investigate experiences from the perspective of the participants was adopted. Reflexive Thematic analysis was used. Data were transcribed and the thematic codes categorized were applied to assess all focus group transcripts. Dedoose 9.2.005 software was used for the analysis.
Findings: Three themes were identified. Disclosure of untapped demand emerged as a significant insight, with healthcare providers admitting their previous oversight of the role of STM as part of other family planning methods. To ensure the successful integration of STM in healthcare facilities, healthcare providers identified training and community awareness as primary strategies. A major challenge identified was limited dissemination of information to clients, with healthcare providers often prioritizing and promoting contraceptive methods in which they are more confident.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Comprehensive training would play a pivotal role in fostering a thorough understanding of STM among service providers. This understanding would instill confidence in healthcare providers, empowering them to effectively convey information to clients with assurance and clarity.
ROLE OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE PROTEIN G IN THE VIRULENCE AND DEVELOPMENT OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE IN SOME ORAL BACTERIAL ISOLATES
Authors: Patki Jyoti M , Purohit Shruti
Published: August 2024

A marked increase in antimicrobial resistance among common bacterial  pathogens has made the search for new therapeutic targets highly imperative.  The present study was aimed to analyse the potential of bacterial chaperone  high-temperature protein G (HtpG) as a therapeutic target by determining its  role in virulence and antibiotic resistance. Two bacterial isolates obtained from  the oral cavity of healthy human subjects were characterized and tentatively identified as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans. Survival assays of  these isolates showed induction of thermotolerance with around 24% increase in  survival at lethal temperature after preconditioning. Protein profile studies  revealed prominent expression of proteins of 99, 77 and 40 kDa in thermo tolerance group as compared to the control. HtpG inhibition was achieved by  using a pharmacological inhibitor of human Hsp90, geldanamycin (GA). In disc  diffusion assays, there was no significant inhibitory impact of HtpG on antibiotic  susceptibility to six antimicrobial compounds in both the isolates as compared  to the control. An 18-19% reduction in biofilm-forming capacity was observed  for both isolates after GA treatment. This study lays strong experimental  evidence to the involvement of HtpG in the development of anti-microbial  resistance through biofilm formation.

Published: August 2024

The continuous release of heavy metal pollutants into soil through human  activities posesthreat to both macro- and micro-organisms within the ecosystem.  Functional metatranscriptomics is a robust method for discovering novel genes  associated with a particular biological process. In this study, functional meta transcriptomic approach was employed to isolate a gene from size-fractionated  cDNA libraries of micro-eukaryotes. The cDNA libraries were raised using  high-quality RNA from heavy metal-contaminated soil. The identified gene  aligned with Nramp (Natural resistance associated macrophage protein)  family. The gene, JMC-10, was submitted to GenBank under Accession No.  OR882126, and it encodes a protein with high sequence similarity to other  Nramp family members, including Smf1p, Smf2p, and Smf3p in  Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To study the function of JMC-10 gene, a series of  growth assays were conducted in yeast cells that either overexpressed JMC-10  or carried a deletion of gene. The study revealed the putative role of JMC-10 in  the transportation of divalent metal ions, including iron, manganese, zinc and  cadmium. Notably, the overexpression of JMC-10 was induced by exposure to  toxic levels of cadmium, suggesting it’s potential role in metal detoxification.  The study provides new intuitions into the roles of Nramp family in metal  homeostasis and highlights the potentiality of functional metatranscriptomics  for identifying new genes having crucial roles in complex biological processes.  Further, it may serve as a biomarker for identifying metal pollution.

Published: August 2024

Rivers are important source of fresh water which is important for the sustenance and   welfare of the society. The present study deals with the assessment of water quality   parameters and with the population of phyto- and zoo-plankton of Himalayan  Bhagirathi river in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand (India). The samples were collected   from the study area during summer, monsoon, and winter seasons for water   quality and phyto- and zoo-plankton analysis. The air temperature, depth  temperature, pH, total alkalinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), dissolved oxygen   (DO), turbidity, free CO2, electric conductivity (EC), biological oxygen demand   (BOD) and total hardness were determined. The study revealed that DO was   maximum in winter (12.35 ± 0.25 mg L-1) and minimum in June to September   (9.75 ± 0.25 mg L-1). The Bhagirathi water contained maximum DO in colder   month, followed by a gradual decrease to its lowest value during June to   September. BOD, an important indicator of pollution status of a water body, was   high during summer perhaps due to low discharge at river. BOD was high in   monsoon (4.4 ± 0.14 mg L-1) and low in winter (1.5 ± 0.14 mg L-1). The study   revealed low river flow during winter. Bacillariophyceae was maximum (442   units L-1) in February and minimum (18 units L-1) in July. Chlorophyceae was   maximum (80 units L-1) in January and minimum (6 units L-1) in August, while   Myxophyceaewas maximum (34 units L-1) in February and minimum in June   and Xanthophyceae was not recorded at this site. The maximum number of   zooplankton genera was observed during winter and minimum in rainy season.   The study showed that there is an urgent need to have proper water management   in rainy and summer seasons so as to restore the water quality of this river.

Authors: Chakravorty Ashim
Published: August 2024

Forty four landraces of lowland rice were assessed for genetic diversity using   D2 statistics based on various grain yielding parameters. Significant variability   was found among the traits studied. Eight diverse clusters were made to set   them into groups. The pattern of distribution of genotypes from different eco  geographic regions into various clusters was at random indicating that   geographical diversity and genetic diversity were not related. The maximum   inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster III and IV (1033.15),  followed by clusters II and VIII (935.07). Maximum intra-cluster distance was   observed in cluster IV (731.01). Divergence analysis revealed significant   variation among the parental lines for all the agro-morphological traits.   Cluster analysis showed that superior cultivars like ‘Kanakchur’ from cluster   IV; cv. ‘FR13A’, ‘Jaladhi2’, ‘Matla’ and ‘Purni’ from cluster III; cv. ‘Latisail’,   ‘Pimpu Dibasa’, ‘Jeeringa Samba’ and ‘Shib Chato’ from cluster II; and cv.   ‘ARC11210’, ‘Kumar Gore’, ‘NC678’, ‘Sada Mota’ and ‘Kantaranga’ from   cluster VI may be taken in hybridization program, based on the genetic   distance, relative contribution of characters towards total divergence and yield   potential of genotypes. The characters viz., days to 50% flowering, plant height,   panicle weight and number of grains panicle-1contributed maximum towards   the divergence among genotypes taken for this study. So, allelic diversity   among the genotypes and the concerned traits taken for this experiment should   be taken into consideration while framing a rice breeding programme.

The most prevalent protozoan that can infect a variety of animals, including birds and mammals, is Cryptosporidium. Certain species of Avian Cryptosporidium spp. are zoonotic and can cause fatal respiratory and digestive disorders in birds. Because they are in close proximity to humans, captive birds have the potential to serve as reservoirs. The current study reveals the molecular characteristics and prevalence of Cryptosporidium spp. from selected captive birds kept in district kasur. Fifty fresh fecal samples from captive birds belonging to three bird orders and five species were collected. To identify Cryptosporidium species, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique that targets the small subunit 18S rRNA gene was employed. The prevalence rate of Cryptosporidium in captive birds was 6%. Of the three samples, Cryptosporidium baileyi 10% (1/10), Cryptosporidium meleagridis 5.5% (1/18) and Cryptosporidium parvum 10% (1/10). The rate of occurrence Cryptosporidium spp. infecting captive birds in Kasur having zoonotic potential is probably low. These findings provide baseline information to support future research on the genetic epidemiology and management of Cryptosporidium infection in avian species in Kasur
Review Paper on Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy through Quantum Transfer Learning
Authors: Mr. NileshVishwas Patil
Published: August 2024

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a common complication among diabetes patients that can cause vision impairment owing to lesions on the retina. Late-stage discovery of DR often leads to irreversible blindness. The usual approach of diagnosing DR through retinal fundus imaging by ophthalmologists is both time-consuming and costly. Although classical transfer learning methods have been extensively employed for computer-aided DR detection, their high maintenance costs can restrict their performance. In contrast, Quantum Transfer Learning is projected to provide a more effective solution to this difficulty, acting on heuristic principles and being highly optimized for the task. Our suggested method will exploit this hybrid quantum transfer learning mechanism to detect DR. We propose to utilize the Blindness Detection dataset from Kaggle to develop our model, leveraging pre-trained classical neural networks for initial feature extraction. For the classification stage, we will utilize a Variational Quantum Classifier. This future effort seeks to prove that quantum computing, coupled with quantum machine learning, can do tasks with a level of power and efficiency unattainable by classical computers alone. By harnessing these new technologies, we intend to greatly enhance the identification and diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy, perhaps saving many from the risk of blindness

Adanya pelatihan kegiatan literasi baca tulis melalui bermain pada guru IGRA di Kecamatan Mataram Baru bertujuan untuk membantu para guru agar lebih memahami dan mampu mengimplementasikan kegiatan baca tulis melalui bermain yang bermakna sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan tahap perkembangan anak usia dini. Pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian ini melalui beberapa tahapan diantaranya yaitu tim pendamping memberikan materi mengenai konsep literasi bagi anak usia dini, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan pembagian kelompok praktek membuat ragam main kegiatan baca tulis menggunakan bahan bekas atau bahan loose parts serta mempresentasikan hasilnya. Adapun hasil yang didapat dari kegiatan tersebut diantaranya menyusun huruf dan kata dengan biji-bijian, flashcard kata dengan tutup botol, bercerita tentang topik dibahas, bernyanyi dan lain-lainnya. Kegiatan literasi baca tulis melalui bermain selain meningkatkan kemampuan keaksaraan juga mampu meningkatkan kreativitas, pemecahan masalah dan kemampuan anak untuk berpikir logis, dikarenakan anak terbiasa distimulasi untuk berpikir melalui kegiatan yang melibatkan seluruh indra anak.

The gift-giving tradition in Jeneponto, the land of the Makassar Tribe, has undergone significant transformation over time, reflecting changes in socio-economic ethics within societies. This study explores the evolution of this tradition and its profound impact on contemporary socio-economic values. It examines how gift-giving has transitioned from a simple act of goodwill and cultural exchange to a complex phenomenon influenced by consumerism, status, and economic disparities. Drawing from ethnographic research analysis, this research delves into the cultural and social significance of gift-giving in various contexts. It sheds light on how traditional values, such as reciprocity and generosity, have been reshaped by commercialization and global consumer culture. Furthermore, it investigates the consequences of these changes on individuals and communities. The study also discusses the ethical dilemmas arising from the commodification of gift-giving, including issues of authenticity, social inequality, and environmental sustainability. It highlights the need for a more conscious and responsible approach to gift-giving in the current situation.

Networks of Denial and Justification: South Asian Responses to the Armenian Genocide
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Kumar Nagothu Naresh
Published: August 2024

The second decade of the 20th century saw two pivotal events from the Middle East and South Asia: the Armenian Genocide and the Khilafat movement. Both events were influential in setting into motion a cascade of events whose repercussions are still felt acutely to this day. Simultaneous interest in these two pivotal moments has generated considerable scholarship over the last few decades. However, the prospect that these two events could be interlinked in underlying ways is a proposition that has not yet found any traction. Using a range of sources, this article attempts an initial foray into a critically understudied area: the denial and justification of the Armenian Genocide that was integral to the Khilafat movement in South Asia. Arguably one of the most potent examples of denial perpetuated by a non-perpetrator, the South Asian version of this narrative was cobbled together through a convergence of interests between the Muslim and Hindu elite in the region. Unraveling this vast network of denialism and justification warrants attention to underlying motivations and power configurations across a kaleidoscope of identities and geography—which this article seeks to uncover.

This work was carried out in order to compare propagation capacity and quality of Mexican strawberry varieties (CP-Jacona and CP-Zamorana) and foreign commercial varieties (Festival and Albion). The four varieties were established in two nurseries located in Mi-choacán, Mexico at different altitudes: Tanaquillo (1,700 m) and Zirahuén (2,228 m). Eight mother plants and eight daughter plants were sampled as replications. Number of crowns, number of runners and daughter plants per mother plant were the variables studied. Root starch content and fresh and dry plant weight were recorded of the daughter plants. The statistical analysis was performed using the stu-dent’s t-test with 5 % significance level. The Mexican variety ‘Festival’ produced more runners, crowns and daughter plants in the nursery of Zirahuén, compared to other varieties; however, the starch content was higher in the Mexican varieties. In the nursery of Tanaquillo, both the ‘Festival’ and ‘CP-Jacona’ varieties showed higher number of daughter plants; however, the starch content in the ‘Festival’ variety was higher than in the ‘CP-Jacona’ variety. In the nursery of Zirahuén, the starch content of daughter plants was higher than in the nursery of Tanaquillo, but the number of daughter plants produced was notably higher at the nursery of Tanaquillo. At the nursery of Zirahuén, the ‘CP-Jacona’ variety had a lower capacity of runners and daughter plants production but these plants showed greater starch content but dry weight of daughter plants was similar to the USA varieties. At the nursery of Tanaquillo, the Mexican varieties were better in the production of daughter plants than the ‘Albion’ variety

In the present research six alternative growth media made of filter mud were evaluated, which suffered biological stabilization processes, alone or mixed with cattle manure and its subsequent use for the production of tomato seedling, in order to promote the use of other materials different from the peat. Research was conducted in three stages: 1) the elaboration of 7 treatments by means of drying, was-hing and drying, composting and vermicomposting of filter mud, alone or mixed with cattle manure, and treatments peat/perlite-based used as control treatment; 2) treatment characterization (growth media) by means of their physical and chemical properties; 3) seedlings production, recording the development and quality of seedlings. Treatments coming from dried and washed filter mud showed physical characteristics similar to the control treatment. Treatments exposed to a composting process showed variable physical characteristics according to the source material. Treatments coming from the vermicomposting process showed a low porosity and water retention. In general, all treatments showed good chemical conditions. As for seedlings production, the treatment based on dried filter mud showed the highest seedling quality.
