Evaluation of Suitability of Buffer to Induce Acidosis on Rice (Oriza sativa) based Diet in RUSITEC
Authors: Murugeswari R. , Balakrishnan V. , Valli C.
Published: June 2022

Background: Rice feeding followed in Tamil Nadu for dairy cattle induces acidosis and the effect of acidosis studies through in vitro techniques is desirable to reduce the animal experiment. Since Mc Dougall Buffer neutralizes acidity produced on incubation with rice (Oriza sativa) in semi continuous culture, it is difficult to mimic acidosis in RUSITEC. Hence a study was conducted in RUSITEC with cooked rice incubated for 24 hours to evaluate the effect of diluting Mc Dougall buffer to establish rumen acidosis (pH less than 5.8). Methods: Two treatments were followed with undiluted Mc Dougall Buffer (MDB) and diluting Mc Dougall Buffer (MMDB) as per Mickdam et al. (2016) in RUSITEC experiments with six replicates for each treatment. This experiment was conducted with equivalent weight of test material (Cooked rice on DMB). The pH of artificial buffer was maintained at 7.4 during start of incubation for both buffers. Result: The rumen fermentation pattern for establishment of onset of acidosis due to over feeding of cooked rice was evinced by the onset of acidosis ( less than 5.8 pH) recorded at 3 hours of incubation in MMDB infusion and at 18 hours of incubation in MDB infusion. The concentration of NH3-N declined after acidosis induction; however, it reached its minimum in MMDB at significant difference (p less than 0.05) than MDB at all incubation hours. Total gas production (Methane and Carbon dioxide) was reduced with MMDB incubation. The CH4 proportion declined strongly (p less than 0.01) at all incubation hours in MMDB than MDB. The production of volatile fatty acid was reduced significantly (p less than 0.05) in MMDB at all incubation period compared with MDB. This was based on a significant decrease in the acetate production (p less than 0.05), an increase in the propionate and butyrate production (p less than 0.05). Acidosis challenge resulted in significantly (p less than 0.01) elevated lactate levels in MMDB at all incubation hours which remained high at 24 hours of incubation. Compared to MDB condition, the LPS concentration was largely elevated (p less than 0.01), by 36% on average till 12 hours of incubation, due to severe acidosis condition (pH 4.9) created by MMDB. The early occurrence of acidosis condition in MMDB, increased significantly (p less than 0.01) gram positive organisms in the rumen. The MMDB infusion showed a strong effect on degradation of DM, OM and N and it was decreased, similarly the degradation rate of DM and N was lowest. This study proves that the MMDB is the suitable acidosis inducing buffer for establishing the in vitro models to cooked rice.

Published: June 2022

Background: Pati duck population constitutes a major indigenous non-descript economically important duck variety in Assam. Harderian gland acts as a part of the head associated lymphoid tissue (HALT) and provides local innate immunity to the upper respiratory system, to the eye and oral cavity. Since literature on histoenzymic or histochemical study of harderian gland of Pati duck was scant, hence the present study was designed to establish the basic histoenzymic details on harderian gland of Pati duck of Assam. Methods: The present study was conducted on total forty five (45) Pati duck of Assam. Ducks were divided into five groups: 0, 4, 16, 24, and 42 weeks. For histochemical parameters, tissue samples were preserved in deep freeze maintained at -80oC (except for PAS-alcian blue, where paraffin sections were utilized) immediately after collection. The preserved tissue samples were shifted directly to cryostat microtome maintained at -22oC. The frozen sections were cut at 7 µm thickness and were collected on clean slides and were treated as per the method of Singh and Sulochana (1978). Result: Histochemical studies revealed that the reaction of Alkaline phosphatase enzyme was mildin Harderian land of Pati duck. The reaction of the acid phosphatase was absent. The Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity was observed moderate in all the age groups. The activity of non specific esterase was observed strong in all the age groups. The periodic acid-Schiff (PAS-Alcian Blue 2.5 pH) stain revealed positive reaction in all the age groups which indicated the presence of acid sulfated mucosubtances in the cells.

Published: June 2022

Background: Fracture is one of the common problems encountered in dogs. Fracture healing most of the times results into complications like delayed union, mal-union and non-union. To deal with these complications bone grafting is an important technique lying with clinicians. Methods: The present study was conducted on 14 clinical cases of dogs with femur fracture. After preliminary examination the dogs were randomly divided into two groups. In group A (n=8) fractures were managed by intramedullary pinning and in group B (n=6), fractures were managed by IM pinning and demineralised bone matrix (DBM) xenograft implantation at the fracture site. The efficacy of the treatment was assessed on the basis of clinical, hemato-biochemical and radiographic observation on day 0 and on 7th, 15th, 30th, 45th and 60th post-operative days. Result: The pain, lameness and weight bearing scores on the affected limb showed non-significant (P greater than 0.05) variations between the two groups on different post-operative intervals. The hematological parameters also varied non-significantly (P greater than 0.05) between the two groups. A significant (P less than 0.05) increase in the serum alkaline phosphatase values was observed upto 30th post-operative day in group B animals as compared to group A animals and thereafter it gradually decreases and return to normal level on 60th post-operative day in both the groups. Radiographic scores were better in group B dogs. Early radiographic signs of fracture healing were observed in group B dogs than group A dogs. No any graft related complications were observed during the study.

Authors: Karthika K.S. , Kumar K.S. Anil , Srinivasan R. , Chandrakala M. , Hegde Rajendra
Published: June 2022

Background: Semiarid lands possess limitations of climate such as low and erratic rainfall, long dry spell, high potential evapotranspiration and lesser length of growing period which directly influence the yield and productivity of crop along with the soil properties. Pigeon pea, being one of the most dominant pulse crops cultivated in the semiarid Deccan plateau, an understanding on the soils where pigeon pea is mainly grown and the evaluation of their land suitability was found to be essential. Methods: Land resource inventory at 1:10,000 scale was carried out in Mahabubnagar Rural mandal, Mahabubnagar district, Telangana state of South Deccan plateau to characterize the major pigeon pea growing soils and their land suitability evaluation. Result: When the entire study area was evaluated for its suitability, majority of the area (32.79%) was marginally suitable, followed by moderately suitable area (16.24%) with moderate to severe limitations of nutrient availability, rooting conditions, gravelliness and texture and a very small area of 5.55 per cent was found to be highly suitable towards the crop. Out of the 18 soil series identified, only five were the major pigeon pea soils which were mostly marginally suitable (S3) with limitations of nutrient availability, slope, effective root depth and texture. Though the climatic characteristics of the area were highly favourable to the crop classified under the highly suitable class (S1), rooting conditions, nutrient availability and slope were the major limitations towards the cultivation and productivity of pigeon pea.

Published: June 2022

The birth of a child is basically very much awaited in every family. In order for the mother to be safe and the child to be born healthy, she must perform antenatal care routinely to the obstetrician or to the midwife. The longer the gestational age, the fetus will also grow and develop, so if not carried out proper supervision can cause problems both during pregnancy, at the time of delivery, even childbirth, and the worst can result in death of mother and baby. Pregnancy screening is also an effort to reduce maternal mortality. The frequency of antenatal care is used to assess the use of antenatal services in quantity. The higher the coverage of antenatal care, the more likely the process of pregnancy and childbirth can be carried out properly. So that theexamination of the womb during pregnancy is something that should not be missed and underestimated. In the obstetric examination the doctor or midwife will tell about the health of the fetus, fetal development, nutrition or any good food consumed during pregnancy, how to set a healthy diet for pregnant women, various exercise tips and healthy life that supports fetal growth and counting estimated date of birth of the baby. The estimateddate of birth of a baby is not always the same as the birth. Not a few who turned out to give birth before the estimated date and not a few also gave birth after the estimated date. From the problems, the solution to overcome this is that an Android-based application can be made that can connect between midwives and expectant mothers and can search for the nearest midwife. With this application, it is expected to help make it easier for mothers and midwives to find out the growth record of the fetus while in thewomb and facilitate the mother in the process of giving birth, especially during emergencies so that the mother will be immediately addressed by the nearest midwife and is expected to minimize the maternal mortality rate and baby during childbirth. Based on acceptance tests conducted on several users, it can be concluded that 84.3% of users agree that the application of"Sehati" is useful to support the health of pregnant women and children with an easy-to-understand appearance. Other statements include 9.1% neutral, and 6.6% disagree.

Published: June 2022

Diversion, in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Justice System, aims to save the future of children (victims and perpetrators). In the process diversion involves the community in the process of restoration of relations between victims and perpetrators.Diversion is carried out bearing in mind that children who are perpetrators of crime have the right to be treated fairly by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989. The problem in the current diversion is the stigmatization of society and the rejection of perpetrators and their families. To overcome this, a selter is needed for adequate coaching. The existence of selter and competent social workers who handle isstill very less when compared with the existing needs. Is an Islamic boarding school as an educational institution in Indonesia, has made many contributions in the development of social society in Indonesia. Not only religious education, the role of pesantren also contributes to the development of community skills, poverty alleviation, empowerment and other behaviorbased activities. Islamic boarding school education applies a live in system, which makes students (santri) live in a dormitory. With a system like this pesantren must have adequate facilities such as dormitories, places to study and mosques. Data from the Directorate of Islamic Education (Pendis) Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia, recorded 27,230 pesantren with various models (salaf and modern) that have accommodated 3,759,198 santri, both male and female. This number illustrates that pesantren has the potential to contribute to the handling of child offenders. Contribution of pesantren can be in the form ofshelter and guidance for children of perpetrators. Some potential reasons that pesantren are alternative places to carry out diversion programs: 1) in large quantities and spread throughout Indonesia 2) have adequate facilities and human resources for mental development; 3). tested in a mental development program; 4). Community trust in pesantren is quite high. Before the pesantren becomes an alternative, there are a number ofthings that need to be addressed, among others: 1) aligning the vision of diversion between the legal apparatus and the boarding school administrators; 2) readiness of other pesantren residents (santri and teachers) to accept child crime perpetrators. 3) improvement of coach / teacher skills in handling child offenders.

Authors: Boen Randall , Upton Thomas , Larson Jonathon
Published: June 2022

Negative attitudes and stigma associated with mental illness have a profound impact on individuals who experience them. Limited research has been conducted to evaluate attitudes and beliefs associated with individuals with mental health issues among graduate students in counseling and related educational programs (CREPs). All participants were current graduate students enrolled in CREPs and were randomly assigned one of two groups which differed by type of vignette. Data were collected from 79 participants using two attitude scales: the Mental Health Provider Stigma Inventory (MHPSI) and the Attribution Questionnaire-27 (AQ-27). The vignettes were identical except for the mental health diagnosis of the individual: generalized anxiety disorder in one vignette and schizophrenia spectrum disorder in the other. Results of this study suggested that subjective feelings of blame, dangerousness, fear, avoidance, and segregation varied based on exposure to one of the two vignettes. For example, participants reported more feelings of blame toward the individual depicted as having generalized anxiety disorder compared to the one depicted as having schizophrenia. The data also showed a significant difference between the mean scores of rehabilitation counselors and the mean scores of other counselors in training on the MHPSI, indicating that rehabilitation counselors reported fewer stigmatizing attitudes. These results contribute to the body of knowledge surrounding mental health stigma among graduate students in CREPs with implications the role of stigma and training.
A Study on Ecocentrism in Olga Tokarczuk’s Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
Authors:   East European and Balkan Institute, Choi Sungeun
Published: June 2022

The novel Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead (published in 2009) by Olga Tokarczuk, winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature, represents a totally different type of work for the author. It is a crime thriller which reveals both the perpetrator of the crime and the motive toward the end of the story. A deeply satisfying thriller cum fairy tale, Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead is a provocative exploration of the murky borderland between sanity and madness, justice and tradition, autonomy and fate.
This study analyzes the theme of the novel and its ultimate message from the perspectives of ecocentrism and ecofeminism. Defined as a ‘moral thriller’ by the author herself, this novel presents a new paradigm in the relationship between humans and humans, as well as between humans and nature, in a contemporary society where humans destroy nature and the strong oppress the weak. Through the dramatic ending, which reveals the main character, Janina Duszejko to be a serial killer, Tokarczuk emphasizes that humans and nature are equal, and awakens people to the many kinds of violence, exploitation and cruelty which humans inflict on animals, and which she believes should be considered serious crimes.
The reason that Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead has received such a positive response from readers and literary circles, despite its antinomic, controversial ending, is because it tells a story about a neglected being who empathizes with helpless, weak beings confronted with a violent reality, and offers them a helping hand.

Higher-order thinking skills are the ability of students to analyze, evaluate, and create. Students with good higher-order thinking skills will have the drive to think broadly and deeply about the subject matter and be able to solve contextual problems based on critical and rational arguments. The results of observations of the mathematics learning process at the research site indicate that students tend to be less active in participating in learning, so high-level learning outcomes tend to be unsatisfactory. To solve these problems, the researchers made improvements to the quality of education by implementing the think pair share model. The learning improvement process was carried out in two cycles. The progress in learning indicates that students' learning activities and higher-order thinking skills have increased. Students' learning activities have grown from the initial cycle to the final stage of the learning process. The improvement in learning also shows that students' higher-order thinking skills have increased after taking action. Higher-order thinking skills of students have improved from the initial cycle to the final stage, with the average value in the initial cycle, cycle 1, and cycle 2, respectively, being 35, 55, 95. The average higher-order thinking skill has increased from the initial stage to the final stage, from the initial condition to cycle 1 of 57.14%, and cycle 1 to cycle 2 of 72.73%. The research results obtained are under the indicators of research success, namely improving learning through implementing the think pair share model, successfully increasing learning activities, and students' higher-order thinking skills.

Durante a pandemia do Covid-19, as restrições colocaram as geotecnologias como protagonistas para aproximar a sociedade da natureza. No Geoparque Aspirante Seridó (GAS), Nordeste do Brasil, as ferramentas podem contribuir para o conhecimento da comunidade e visitantes sobre o seu geopatrimônio. Partindo dessas premissas, este trabalho apresenta um roteiro virtual interativo usando ferramentas cartográficas gratuitas do Google®. O roteiro foi construído utilizando a realidade virtual do StreetView® para mapear viewpoints (VP). Esses VP e as descrições integraram a plataforma MyMaps® no Google Maps® juntamente com litotipos, limites, geossítios e caminhos pelo GAS. 25 VP foram reconhecidos contemplando 11 dos 21 geossítios do GAS, mostrando principalmente destaques geomorfológicos. O roteiro virtual proposto pode ser utilizado na Geoeducação e educação patrimonial nos mais variados níveis da educação e em práticas turísticas.

Published: June 2022

Background: The right to food is one of the human rights that must be protected and fulfilled. Inequality in priorities on food and nutrition security development causes a sharp distinction among provinces regarding food security achievement. Currently, methods for evaluating the right to food at the provincial level are not yet available.
Objectives: This study aims to analyze the right to food at the provincial level in Indonesia with a food system approach (food availability, food accessibility, and food utilization) using structural, process, and outcome indicators.
Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study using secondary data from 34 provinces in Indonesia. The data consist of regulations, programs, and the government's performance achievements. There were five data analysis stages: identification, selection, assessment indicators, provincial rankings provision, and the characteristics based on cluster analysis.
Results: Based on the evaluation of 36 selected indicators of the right to food, only three provinces were included in the high category, twenty-five provinces in the medium category, and six provinces in the low category. Central Java had the highest level of the right to food, while West Papua had the lowest level. Non-hierarchical clustering with K-Means methods was further applied to analyze the right to food and later divided into five clusters. The first until the third cluster was categorized as medium level, while the fourth and fifth clusters were categorized as low.
Conclusions: The right to food in western part of Indonesia had better than the eastern region. The availability of regulations and program implementations with adequate budget support will affect the government's performance in fulfilling the right to food.

Background: COVID-19 pandemic has affected many countries globally. This crisis may influent food choice motives due to the stressful events, prolonged duration of quarantine, lack of in-person contact, fears of infection, and financial loss. Meanwhile, food choice motives remain important as the basic information to form efficient and adaptable dietary intervention to maintain health and well-being, especially among workers to improve their productivity.
Purpose: To assess the food choice motives among office workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in Jakarta.
Methods: This was an online cross-sectional study on 290 workers aged 25-54 years old in Jakarta. Subjects were recruited through a consecutive sampling method. Food choice motives were assessed using a validated Food Choice Value questionnaire on January-February 2021. Its association with the sociodemographic characteristics was also being analyzed using Spearman, Mann-Whitney, and Kruskal Wallis test to get a complete picture.
Results: Safety has become important during this pandemic due to high concern on COVID-19 (p<0.001, r: 0.232). Older worker tend to give more concern on organic (p<0.001, r: 0.254), weight control/health (p<0.05, r: 0.124), and tradition motives (p<0.01, r: 0.161) in choosing food. Meanwhile, access was important to younger (p<0.001, r: -0.205) and single respondents (p<0.01). Married respondents were having significantly higher scores on organic motive (p<0.01). Females were putting more concerned about inconvenience (p<0.01). Tradition motive as the least one reported by the respondents was significantly related to income (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Concern on food safety has become the most important due to pandemic conditions. Different motives emerged among different sociodemographic characteristics.

Published: June 2022

Background: Vascular inflammation is one of contributing factors to the pathogenesis of arterial aging. Age-related activation of the inflammatory process can lead to various macro-and microvascular pathologies. The pro-inflammatory microenvironment generated in the vascular wall can lead to the pathogenesis of vascular diseases due to an increase in vascular dysfunction. Trehalose is a disaccharide that has several functions, protecting against stressors (one of them is reactive oxygen species/ROS) and preventing the inflammatory responses induced by endotoxic shock.
Objectives: To analyze the effect of trehalose supplementation on macrovascular inflammatory processes related to the aging process.
Methods: The experimental study used 28 male Wistar rats (Rattus novergicus) which were divided into 4 groups, young control group (Group A), old control group (Group B), 2% sucrose group (Group C), and 2% trehalose group (Group D); were then observed for 8 weeks.
Results: The results showed that there were no significant differences in aortic tissue NFκB-p65 expression between old and young subjects (p=0.247). The 2% trehalose group had 40% lower aortic tissue NFkB-p65 expression compared to the old control group (p=0.012); while the group given 2% sucrose solution had a 30% higher aortic tissue NFkB-p65 expression compared to the trehalose group (p=0.018).
Conclusion: Trehalose has a good effect on aging-associated vascular inflammatory processes that can be seen from the low aortic tissue NFκB-p65 expression in old rats.
