Published: January 2022

In Ethiopia,there are 32.85 millions of sheep,more than 99 % of which are indigenous.However,the productivity of local sheep under traditional production system is low with high mortality of sheep.There are two ways of improving performance of sheep and goats,namely improving the enviroment of animals and/or improving there genetic potential.The aim of this study was to predict genetic gains of breedingobjective traits and select the best sheep selection scheme for Gumuz andWashera sheep. Body size(six month weight and yearling weight) and litter size were breeding objective traits identified by own flock animal ranking experiment and personal interview. Deterministic approach of ZPLAN computor program is used for modeling input parametres of Gumuz and Washera sheep and simulating breeding plans using gene flow method and selection index procedures. One-tier cooperative sheep breeding scheme were proposed whereby ram exchange between and within villages is the main means of genetic dissimination. Genetic gains predicted for six month weight of Gumuz and Washera sheep were 0.43 and 0.55 kg,respectively. Genetic gains predicted for yearling weight of Gumuz and Washera sheep were 0.55 and 0.60 kg,respectively. Genetic gains predicted for litter  size of Gumuz and Washera sheep were 0.08 and 0.09 lambs,respectively. The lower rate of inbreeding, the higher monetary genetic gain for aggregate genotype,higher return to investmnet and higher profit/ewe/year were quality measures of breeding program considered to prefer scheme 4 for both Gumuz and Washera sheep.Hence,for both Gumuz and Washera sheep populations a sheep selection scheme designed with 15 % selection proportion and one year ram use for breeding was recommended. Special emphasis need to be given to yearling weight with higher predicted genetic response and higher percentage return to investment.

Authors: Nurrokhmawati Yanti
Published: January 2022

Presbikusis adalah gangguan pendengaran pada usia tua. Prebikusis dipengaruhi oleh
berbagai faktor risiko diantaranya paparan kebisingan. Trauma akustik yang disebabkan
oleh latihan menembak berulang pada anggota militer memiliki pengaruh terhadap
terjadinya presbikusis, terutama pada kesatuan asal dari pasukan tempur. Tujuan dari
penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai perbedaan prevalensi presbikusis pada pasien
purnawirawan Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI) dari pasukan tempur dan non-tempur.
Penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif untuk mengetahui karakteristik usia, jenis kelamin,
faktor risiko penyakit, riwayat obat-obatan ototoksik, dan riwayat pekerjaan sebelumnya,
serta asal kesatuan. Seluruh pasien poliklinik Telinga, Hidung, dan Tenggorokan (THT) di
Rumah Sakit Dustira pada bulan Januari-November 2018 yang didiagnosis sebagai
presbikusis dari riwayat, pemeriksaan, dan evaluasi audiometri. Data dicatat dan
ditampilkan secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian didapatkan 151 kasus dengan prevalensi
sebesar 12% dari seluruh kasus. Rerata usia adalah 50,5 tahun dengan rentang usia 49-80
tahun, 59,9% laki-laki dan 40,4% perempuan. Hipertensi adalah faktor risiko yang paling
banyak (71,5%). Purnawirawan pasien TNI sebanyak 65 orang (14,77%), dan 43 orang di

Published: January 2022

Rontgen toraks berperan penting untuk menegakkan diagnosis tuberkulosis (TB). Penelitian
ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan lokasi lesi paru pasien TB dengan dan tanpa infeksi
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Penelitian menggunakan desain potong lintang pada
subjek dengan kriteria: TB paru kasus baru dengan atau tanpa infeksi HIV, bukan multidrug-
resistant TB, berusia di atas 18 tahun, belum pernah minum obat antituberkulosis, tidak ada
riwayat penyakit imunodefisiensi lain, dan tidak minum obat imunosupresi. Data seluruh
pasien sesuai kriteria (71 orang) diambil dari rekam medis RS Pengayoman Cipinang. Hasil
penelitian menunjukkan lokasi lesi pada pasien TB paru tanpa infeksi HIV sebagian besar
berada di lapang atas dengan gambaran radiologis yang kerap didapatkan berupa infiltrasi,
kavitasi, konsolidasi, dan atelektasis. Sebaliknya, lokasi lesi pasien TB paru dengan infeksi
HIV sebagian besar berada di lapang bawah dengan gambaran radiologis yang kerap
didapatkan berupa infiltrasi dan limfadenopati. Uji Chi-square menunjukkan terdapat
perbedaan lokasi lesi pada pasien TB paru dengan infeksi HIV dan pasien TB paru tanpa
infeksi HIV (p = 0,000). Uji Chi-square exact didapatkan hubungan antara kadar CD4+ dan
lokasi lesi foto toraks pada pasien TB dengan infeksi HIV (p = 0,044). Letak lesi lebih sering
ditemukan pada lapang atas paru pasien dengan sistem imun yang baik karena tekanan
oksigen yang lebih tinggi. Sebaliknya, pada pasien dengan sistem imun yang buruk, misalnya
pasien HIV, letak lesi lebih sering ditemukan pada lapang tengah dan bawah paru karena
udara inspirasi banyak terdistribusi ke bagian tersebut sehingga memudahkan terjadinya lesi
sebagai akibat dari inflamasi.

Daun salam (Syzygium polyanthum (Wight) Walp) merupakan salah satu tanaman yang
digunakan sebagai obat herbal di Indonesia. Senyawa aktif pada daun salam salah satunya
berperan sebagai antioksidan. Obat merupakan zat yang dapat berpotensi menyebabkan
hepatotoksik. Penelitian sebelumnya menyimpulkan bahwa ekstrak etanol daun salam (EEDS)
termasuk kategori praktis tidak toksik, tetapi belum ada keterangan pengaruhnya terhadap
histopatologi hepar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perubahan gambaran
histopatologi hepar mencit pada kelompok pemberian akut EEDS dosis bertingkat. Penelitian
ini merupakan studi observasional terhadap histopatologi hepar mencit (Mus musculus) putih
jantan dan betina galur DDY. Sediaan berjumlah 55 buah, terdiri dari 4 kelompok, yaitu
kelompok kontrol negatif (K), kelompok yang diberikan EEDS dengan dosis 1250 mg/kgbb
(P1), 2500 mg/kgbb (P2), dan 5000 mg/kgbb (P3). Organ hepar dibuat menjadi sediaan
mikroskopis dengan pewarnaan H&E, lalu dilakukan penilaian histopatologi hepar
menggunakan skoring Manja Roenigk. Hasil penelitian berdasarkan uji statistik menunjukkan
terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan pada rerata skor perubahan hepatosit (p<0,05). Perbedaan
signifikan pada mencit jantan K-P2 dan K-P3 (p=0,032), sedangkan pada mencit betina K-P1,
K-P2, dan K-P3 (p=0,002). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terjadi perubahan
histopatologi hepar pada mencit jantan dan betina berupa peradangan, degenerasi
parenkimatosa, degenerasi hidropik, dan nekrosis pada mencit jantan dengan pemberian
EEDS dosis 2500 dan 5000 mg/kgbb, sedangkan pada mencit betina sudah terjadi perubahan
histopatologi hepar pada pemberian EEDS dosis 1250 mg/kgbb. Pemberian akut EEDS dosis
bertingkat memiliki efek toksik akibat aktivitas prooksidan dan peningkatan stres oksidatif
pada pemberian antioksidan dosis tinggi.

Authors: Moch Rizal Dicky
Published: January 2022

Diabetes melitus (DM) adalah penyakit degeneratif yang banyak diderita oleh
masyarakat dan jumlah penderitanya cenderung semakin meningkat. DM mengakibatkan
berbagai hal yang merugikan terutama dapat menyebabkan penurunan atau kerusakan
fungsi organ maupun sistem tubuh. Gangguan fungsi seksual adalah salah satu
permasalahan kesehatan yang ditimbulkan oleh penyakit ini. Studi literatur dilakukan
untuk mengetahui beberapa gangguan fungsi seksual yang diakibatkan oleh penyakit
diabetes melitus. Penelusuran literatur dilakukan melalui basis data Pubmed dan NCBI.
Jumlah penderita penyakit DM cenderung meningkat. WHO memperkirakan sekitar 330
juta penduduk dunia yang menderita DM di tahun 2030. Pada tahun 2005, terdapat
sekitar 24 juta penderita DM di Indonesia. Gangguan fungsi seksual yang di timbulkan
oleh DM bisa di alami oleh pria maupun wanita, yaitu gangguan keinginan seksual,
gangguan bangkitan seksual dan gangguan ejakulasi pada pria. Gangguan keinginan
seksual terutama pada pria DM dikaitkan dengan penurunan kadar hormon testosteron.
Gangguan bangkitan seksual pada pria DM muncul berupa disfungsi ereksi dan berkaitan
dengan kerusakan endotel pembuluh darah dan kerusakan saraf perifer sedangkan
gangguan bangkitan seksual pada wanita berupa gangguan lubrikasi vagina. Gangguan
ejakulasi pada pria DM dapat muncul karena gangguan saraf otonom. Hal ini dapat
ditimbulkan oleh berbagai macam faktor antara lain metabolic insult terhadap serabut
saraf, insufisiensi neurovaskular, kerusakan autoimun, dan defisiensi neurohormonal
faktor pertumbuhan. Ejakulasi terbalik juga merupakan salah satu gangguan fungsi seksual
yang bisa ditimbulkan akibat DM.

Hypertension is a major contributor to the cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries. The recent
reports suggest that hypertension is rapidly increasing in developing countries like India. Non-communicable diseases
(NCDs) are the leading causes of death globally and also the leading cause of adult mortality and morbidity worldwide now days. The NCD like
hypertension is emerging as a major health problem in India with increasing prevalence signicantly in both urban and rural population. The
objectives of the study were to nd out the prevalence of hypertension and its association with socio-demographic factors among the study
subjects, if any. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in rural communities of Kanti block, Muzaffarpur, Bihar from May,
2020 to April, 2021. We studied among 671 individuals, aged 21 years or above of both sexes except pregnant and seriously ill subjects. The data
were collected about education, type of family, family history of hypertension, income etc. The overall prevalence of hypertension was 25.7%
(male 21.7% and female 29.8%). Prevalence increased with increase in age group. Muslim religion, less education and sedentary life styles were
found to be signicantly associated with hypertension; while socio-economic status had no association with hypertension.
Summary: The prevalence of hypertension in the rural population was found to be on the higher side compared to previous reports from India.
Strong public health measures need to be seriously implemented to combat hypertension and its consequences.

CORRELATION OF ABNORMAL UTERINE ARTERY DOPPLER IN THE SECOND TRIMESTER OF PREGNANCY WITH MATERNAL AND FETAL OUTCOME.
Authors: Menon Sangeetha , Nalinan Jyotsna
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Maternal – fetal circulation can be studied non-invasively by using doppler which can be used as a
screening tool for fetal and maternal disease. Morphological changes in the uterine vasculature can be demonstrated by
colour and pulsed doppler studies. The majority of the studies on uterine artery doppler have focused on a high risk population. The effectiveness
of the uterine artery doppler to predict pre eclampsia or FGR in a low risk population has been shown to have a low to moderate predictive value1.
Also the criteria for normal and abnormal uterine artery doppler continue to vary with no well accepted denition.
Aim: To nd out the correlation between abnormal uterine artery doppler in the second trimester of pregnancy between 18-22 weeks, with the
subsequent development of pre eclampsia and FGR.
Materials and methods: This is a prospective cohort study carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology for a period of one year.
Antenatal patients in the age group of 18-35 years, between 18-22 weeks of gestation, who were included in the study underwent a uterine artery
doppler. They were followed up until delivery. SPSS software was used to analyze the data.
Results: 193 Obstetric patients in the age group 18-35 years were evaluated with uterine artery doppler. 77.7% had normal doppler indices. In the
abnormal doppler group, 81.4% were in the high risk category and 48.8% of those with abnormal dopplers developed pre eclampsia and 34.9%
with abnormal dopplers developed FGR.
Conclusion: Patients with abnormal uterine artery doppler indices in the second trimester of pregnancy, had an 18 times increased risk of
developing pre eclampsia and a 6 times increased risk of developing FGR when compared to those with normal doppler indices.

Published: January 2022

INTRODUCTION: Crime scene has a specic identity, so are the criminals. Forensic medicine smells the criminal from
scene of crime. It shows the role-play of criminals in the event of crime through detecting certain evidences. Finger prints
are genetically inherited and are immutable from birth to death, hence considered as the best tools of identication. Literature states that there is
a correlation between the physical characters and blood groups. Identication of nger prints along with the blood groups which are most
common evidences in the crime areas, would drive the forensic scientist towards more reliable, accurate and denitive investigation.
AIM OF THE STUDY:
A. To Determine The Incidence Of Different Patterns Of Finger Prints Among Abo Blood Groups.
B. To Ascertain The Correlation Between Finger Prints And Blood Groups.
MATERIALS AND METHOD: The present study was carried out among 200 people aged 20-25 years in Visakhapatnam district, Andhra
Pradesh using simple random sampling technique. Blood groups of all the subjects were determined in the pathology lab of the college. The
nger prints were analyzed by two authors with the help of powerful hand magnifying lens. The observations were categorized accordingly and
correlated with the blood groups.
RESULTS & CONCLUSION: The study disclosed higher incidence of distribution with loop pattern followed by whorl pattern in O blood
group subjects. Comparing the nger prints with blood groups there was no signicant correlation though the entities had their own signicance
when analyzed individually.

Authors: Eruola Abayomi
Published: January 2022

A field experiment was conducted on varietal response of white yam to moisture regime in Abeokuta. The experiment comprised three varieties of yam (Efuru, Ise-osi and Oniyere), three mulching options (grass, polythene and unmulched), and two planting dates (early and late). Treatments were replicated three times using RCBD lay-out. Model for selecting planting date involved relating potential evapotranspiration (PE) to precipitation (P) in the form of 0.1PE<P < 0.5PE, partitioned for attaining optimal planting date into early {T1= Σ(P-0.1PE) ≤ 0} and late {T2 = Σ(P-0.5PE) ≤ 0}, respectively. For humid period defined by P> PE, the physiological parameters and moisture agro-climatic indices measured during phenological stages of yam grown were analyzed with respect to treatments. Result showed that T1 defined as Σ(P-0.1PE) ≤ 10 mm appeared as the best model that significantly (P < 0.05) influenced emergence rate, phenological growth and tuber yield. All yam varieties evaluated were suitable for planting with respect to yield. Efuru and Ise-osi synchronized perfectly with Actual Water Availability and produced good vegetative growth with LAI of 1.08 and 0.91 leading to higher tuber yield of 12 and 11.64 tonnes ha-1, respectively. Grass mulch had tuber yield, 4-6 tonnes ha-1greater than the polythene and unmulched plots in all varieties. Mulching significantly (P< 0.05) increased tuber yield, 6-8 tonnes ha-1than the unmulched. Conclusively, early planting with grass mulch increased tuber yield.

Pratiche di interculturalismo quotidiano. Etnografia di un condominio multietnico
Authors: Fabbri Loretta , Bracci Francesca
Published: January 2022

This paper explores the processes of construction of difference in the materiality of a space of daily interculturalism, through the analysis of the interactions characterizing the life of a multiethnic condominium, which is located in the historic center of Arezzo (Tuscany, Italy). An ethnographic study was conducted which – entering the wider movement of post-qualitative methodologies – incorporated in the analysis process our experiences and personal interpretations, since directly involved and participating in the reality observed as residents in the housing complex. Our interest is aimed at studying the practical use of difference in everyday life, analyzing a condominium as effective space of multiethnic coexistence where matter, subjects, spaces, categories, and geographies are articulated along a continuum of sense and experience, which has found a learning laboratory in the building and its “practices of living”.
Prevenire la radicalizzazione e i comportamenti antisociali. Madri e bambini nei non-luoghi dell’educabilità
Authors: Biagioli Raffaella
Published: January 2022

In the intersection with other dimensions such as ethnic, religious and social, the gender difference leads to dwell on aspects often neglected and to bring out the role of mothers in places of confinement that, together with their children, represent a population at risk for the difficulties inherent in the condition of restriction. The research is interested in understanding a mother-child relationship highly disturbed by some risk factors and the educational actions to be activated in the daily life of penitentiary institutions to support and accompany these women towards autonomy, to offer them possibilities of social inclusion and avoid marginalization that in the future could lead their children to seek radicalized insertion within groups.
Donne immigrate, estremismi e radicalizzazione. Tra rischio di vulnerabilità e opportunità di divenire costruttrici di comunità
Authors: Guerrini Valentina
Published: January 2022

This paper addresses the complex issue of extremism and radicalization from the perspective of gender difference and, in particular, the female gender. In fact, these issues are mostly associated with the male gender and there are still few studies, especially in the national context, on female forms of radicalization. The first studies and reports at European level highlight an increasing participation of women in terrorist organizations in recent years and the strong presence of forms of discrimination and sexist stereotypes within the organizations themselves. However, sometimes joining a terrorist organization can represent for women, especially initially, a way to feel autonomous and be able to redeem themselves from a situation of pressure, discrimination and violence suffered. Particular attention is devoted to young people and Muslim women because they are more at risk of discrimination and social exclusion and to the role of immigrant mothers as mediators of two cultures and facilitators in the process of social inclusion of younger generations, especially if supported by policies and educational models based on inclusion, recognition of difference as a value, acceptance of the other, dialogue, and respect. In this regard, the contribution presents the results of a research conducted among secondary school students to investigate the dynamics of inclusion among peers and critical issues related to the adolescent period.

The decolonial option: implications for the curriculum of foreign language teacher education programs
Authors: Ramírez Espinosa Alexánder
Published: January 2022

This reflection article derives from the discussions and argumentative sessions that took place at the heart of a doctoral seminar on Decolonial Theories. With this paper, the author intends a twofold purpose: on the one hand, to present his perceptions about the literature analyzed and discussed along the seminar, and on the other, to shed light on how such literature can have a positive impact on the curricula of Foreign Language Teacher Education Programs. The ideas that the author puts forward are the product of discussions with colleagues and teachers; in that sense, the arguments presented here are open to further scrutiny and academic dialogue with other scholars. It is hoped that this article contributes to the current discussions on the construction of curricula, the teaching of foreign languages from an emancipatory perspective, and the search for social justice in education.

Authors: Marmolejo Caicedo Margareth , Grajales Alzate Róbinson
Published: January 2022

La escritura académica de estudiantes indígenas en contextos de bilingüismo e interculturalidad ha sido estudiada desde diferentes enfoques como las corrientes decoloniales, los programas para evitar la deserción universitaria y la enseñanza de la literacidad académica. Este artículo tiene como objetivo describir el discurso académico de estudiantes indígenas universitarios a través de textos argumentativos, con el fin de conocer los aspectos que deben ser priorizados en la

 

enseñanza de la literacidad académica y cómo se lleva a cabo su aprendizaje. A partir de un corpus de textos argumentativos de estudiantes indígenas de primer semestre, provenientes de distintas comunidades y de programas académicos diferentes, se analizó su producción escrita en   relación   con   cuatro   categorías: la densidad léxica, la fragmentariedad, la superestructura y la intertextualidad. Se encontró que ninguno de los textos argumentativos cumple de manera adecuada las convenciones del discurso académico. Entre los aspectos que deben priorizarse para alcanzar la literacidad académica están la ampliación del léxico en español y del vocabulario técnico, la identificación y uso de recursos semánticos y discursivos para cohesionar y dar coherencia a las ideas del texto, la construcción de textos con la superestructura requerida y la incorporación de la polifonía con diferentes propósitos y con las convenciones establecidas para ello.

Authors: Palacios Alvarado Wlamyr , Medina Delgado Byron , Gómez Rojas Jorge
Published: January 2022

La realidad social y económica de un país, región, localidad o de cualquier grupo social, es entendida a través de la investigación, a través de un proceso que estudia un fenómeno o problema mediante la aplicación de los enfoques cuantitativo, cualitativo o mixto, que están encaminados hacia la generación de conocimiento y en donde   las   instituciones de educación superior desempeñan un rol preponderante, reflexión que originó el tema del presente artículo. El objetivo es resaltar la investigación en la educación superior como factor clave en la construcción y generación de conocimiento. La metodología es cualitativa y cuantitativa, aplica investigación exploratoria basada en fuentes secundarias de información relacionadas con el tema objeto de estudio. Los resultados señalan que países como Argentina, México, Chile y Venezuela han incrementado el número de investigadores entre el 2010 y el 2013 y, Colombia y Uruguay han disminuido el total de investigadores en ese período; además, aparece una baja actitud hacia la investigación por parte de instituciones y estudiantes de educación superior. Finalmente, se concluye que las instituciones de educación superior están obligadas a desarrollar planes, programas y estructuras curriculares centradas en la investigación, con   el   propósito   de que estudiantes desarrollen competencias científicas para aprender a aprender, construir conocimiento y resolver los problemas del entorno socio-económico.

Published: January 2022

Este artículo reporta los resultados de un estudio de caso de corte descriptivo-interpretativo en el curso de Escritura Creativa en Inglés, que hace parte de un programa de Licenciatura en Lenguas Extranjeras. El objetivo principal fue describir las revisiones hechas por estudiantes y establecer, por un lado, en qué aspectos del texto se enfocan, y por otro cómo se posicionan los estudiantes en su rol de revisores. El corpus, constituido por 46 revisiones escritas por 25 estudiantes durante el primer semestre de 2020, fue sometido a un análisis temático. Los resultados sugieren que, en este caso, las revisiones trascendieron el foco tradicional de la corrección lingüística y se centraron en aspectos globales y estilísticos del texto tales como la construcción de personajes y la construcción de audiencia.
