Published: August 2023

The selection process for adjunct, assistant, and associate professors in universities adheres to predetermined criteria and standards to guarantee the appointment of competent individuals capable of making valuable contributions to the academic community (Montilla, 2021). The criteria and standards used to designate different levels of professors and their duties and functions are critical to the university's overall academic success and resiliency. Considering this, the proposed study sought to evaluate the criteria and standards utilized to designate adjunct, assistant and associate professors and the distinctions in their roles and functions within a university context. A qualitative research approach was used in the proposed research to thoroughly analyze the criteria, standards, responsibilities, and functions of adjunct, assistant, and associate professors at academic institutions. Secondary data was gathered from scholarly sources and analyzed using content analysis to discover reoccurring themes and trends. The study results indicate that Adjunct faculty members are commonly selected based on their professional background and specialized knowledge in a specific area, thereby imparting practical insights to the academic setting. In contrast, assistant professors are subject to more stringent criteria and standards: they are assessed based on their qualifications, research output, teaching performance and contributions.

On the other hand, associate professors must have a considerable track record of academic achievement, including research publications, grant submissions, teaching ability, leadership talents, and reputation within their areas (Hafsteinsdóttir et al., 2017).

The distinctions in responsibilities and duties among adjunct, assistant, and associate professors are predicated upon their proficiency, knowledge, and scholarly accomplishments.

A recommended strategy for enhancing faculty standards and operations involves a comprehensive approach encompassing transparent evaluation, conducive surroundings, guidance, teamwork, research assistance, leadership initiatives, and periodic evaluation.

Authors: Khanal Krishna , Prajapati Bikram
Published: August 2023

Entrepreneurship is becoming increasingly popular in educational institutions worldwide. The aim is to familiarize students with the topic and potentially strengthen their desire to become entrepreneurs. Research has shown that a person’s behavior is influenced by their intention, which makes it essential for researchers to examine the factors that contribute to the development of intention. This research is focusing on how certain demographic factors can affect the desire of Nepali business students to become entrepreneurs. The study involved 343 MBA students from 13 business schools in Kathmandu City who were given a self-administered questionnaire. The data collected was analyzed using Independent Sample T-test and One-way ANOVA. The demographic factors that were considered in the study include gender, age, marital status, working experience, and prior exposure to entrepreneurship courses. The findings suggest that male students have a slightly greater inclination toward entrepreneurship. Age, marital status, and prior work experience show practically no impact. We also found no relationship between entrepreneurial intention and prior exposure to entrepreneurship courses. The findings clearly contradict the currently available literature demonstrating the significance of all these influencing factors. The study provides possibilities for future studies and practical applications for policymakers and professionals in the field.

Arthroscopic repair of full-thickness cartilage defects in horses with autologous nasal chondrocytes seeded in an injectable hydrogel: from preclinical development to clinical cases
Authors:   National Veterinary School of Toulouse (ENVT), Toulouse, France, LALLEMAND Elodie
Published: August 2023

This study aimed at evaluating the ability of autologous equine nasal chondrocytes (EqNCs) embedded in a silanised hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (Si-HPMC) hydrogel to repair cartilage defects in horses. Autologous EqNCs from the nasal septum were cultured in vitro and mixed with Si-HPMC. This hybrid construct was injected arthroscopically to experimental full-thickness critical-sized cartilage defects in a pilot horse. After this preliminary test, it was implanted in 6 experimental horses and compared with microfracture (positive control) and with debridement only (negative control) using experimental defects created bilaterally on radial carpal bones and medial femoral condyles. Cartilage tissue repair was subsequently investigated arthroscopically, macroscopically and histologically 18 months after the surgical procedure. Two client-owned horses presenting with cartilage damage were also treated using hybrid EqNCs/Si-HPMC constructs. We developed an injection technique for a 3D hybrid construct of EqNC and Si-HPMC under gas arthroscopy. The in situ reticulation and adhesion properties of the construct ensured its stability after injection. The hybrid construct was well tolerated and Si-HPMC was estimated as a safe scaffold for horses. We found a better cartilage healing with our hybrid construct compared to microfracture or defect left empty characterized by an increased type II collagen content in the defects filled with the hybrid construct. In the 2 clinical cases, hybrid construct injection led to the formation of repair tissue exhibiting the gross appearance of articular cartilage and both returned to intended use. This study revealed that EqNCs/Si-HPMC constructs can support the formation of a healing tissue with hyaline cartilage features.

Authors: Saçaklıdır Rekib
Published: August 2023

Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that commonly arises from the metaphyseal and diaphyseal regions of long bones. Pain is often the first symptom, and it can mimic many diseases. Herein, we report a 36-year-old male patient who presented with complaints of lower back pain radiating to the right extremity for a year. In the patient's history, physical therapy, platelet-rich plasma, pregabalin, and duloxetine were used, with the only benefit from indomethacin. An X-ray of the femur was requested, and the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Osteoid osteoma should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis of persistent pain despite treatment.

In the context of the crisis generated by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, radiological situation forecasts were made within the National Institute of Research and Development for Physics and Nuclear Engineering "Horia Hulubei" (IFIN-HH) for all nuclear power plants in Ukraine. Therefore, the resident decision support software systems for radiological and nuclear emergencies were used, with the main purpose of identifying potential areas of influence on the territory of Romania generated by Ukrainian power plants, as consequence of military actions. In the absence of pertinent and confirmed information, two hypothetical scenarios were considered by which the radioactive material could be dispersed into the atmosphere, for which appropriate accident source terms were built, using methods validated and approved by the international organizations in the field. The monitoring of the radiological situation of the Ukrainian nuclear power plants was carried out over a period of several months starting from the first day of the conflict outbreak. In the paper are presented comparative results obtained with two software systems for a representative case at the Zaporozhe Nuclear Power Plant, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, situated in the center of several disputes.

Published: August 2023

The genetic diversity of mango (Mangifera indica L.) was determined among 188 mango accessions using 40 SSR markers. A total of 303 alleles were discovered, with a mean value of 7.58 and an average PIC of 0.583, showing that the SSR markers utilized in this investigation was quite informative. High Shannon’s index (1.304) and He (0.624) reflected the high genetic diversity of Chinese mango genetic resources. PCoA analysis and phenogram analysis divided the accessions broadly into groups representing their geographical origins and suggested a clear separation between M. indica and M. persiciformis. This expanded awareness of the genetic diversity of mango germplasm would aid breeders in choosing better parents, hence accelerating the delivery of improved cultivars to industry in order to satisfy consumer demand.

A field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Bhavanisagar, during 2021–23 to study the effect of spray volume (SV) on deposition characteristics of a fuel-operated UAV sprayer (25 L/ha, 37.5 L/ha and 50 litre/ha) and knapsack sprayer (KS) (500 litre/ha) in the rice (Oryza sativa L.) field. Results showed that herbicides spraying using UAV (37.5 litre/ha) had a higher droplet deposition (0.077 and 0.075 μL/cm2) than knapsack spraying of 500 litre/ha (0.06 and 0.049 μL/cm2) in the ground layer of first (PE) and second (PoE) spraying, respectively. KS (500 litre/ha) had significantly higher droplet coverage rate, droplet size (Dv0.5) over other UAV spray volumes. Subsequently, variation in spray uniformity was found between two sprayers. Among UAV spray volumes, application of 50 litre/ha had better deposition, coverage rate and number of spray deposits/cm2 compared to UAV (37.5 litre/ha), with no significant difference between them. Further, application of 25 litre/ha using UAV recorded lower deposition characteristics over other treatments. So, considering low volume application of UAV (37.5 litre/ha), comparable with high volume KS (500 litre/ha), it is better to go for optimal application of UAV (37.5 litre/ha), which is having better working efficiency, profitability and labor-saving approach compared to knapsack sprayer.

Agrogeotextiles (AGT) have potential for soil conservation, but limited information is available on effect of AGT on C sequestration and soil aggregation in Indian Himalayan region (IHR). Hence, the study was conducted on a 4% slope at Selakui, Dehradun in a maize-based cropping system where Arundo donax mats were used as AGT mats for soil conservation. Soil sampling was done in December 2021 after vegetable pea harvest and results indicated that in 0–15 cm soil depth, Maize + Arundo donax mat (10 cm thick) on 0.5 m vertical interval vegetable pea - wheat (M+A10D0.5-V-W) had ~23% higher total soil organic C (TSOC) in bulk soils than the control (M-W) plots. Plots with Arundo donax mats exhibited ~12% higher TSOC than plots without the mats. Plots under M+A10D0.5-V-W and maize-vegetable pea-wheat under bench terracing (M-V-W)B showed similar impacts on C sequestration. M+A10D0.5-V-W plots had ~36% greater macroaggregate and ~35% higher mean weight diameter (MWD) than M-W plots in the 0–15 cm soil depth. Microbial biomass C (MBC) enhanced by ~86% under M+A10D0.5-V-W over M-W in the 0–15 cm soil depth due to higher root biomass, root exudates and metabolizable C. Thus, microbial quotient (MQ) was also increased. Mean annual soil loss value of 2020–2021 and 2021–2022 ranged from 0.4 t/ha/yr to 2.9 t/ha/yr which was correlated with carbon management index (CMI) value. The CMI was ~38% higher in M+A10D0.5-V-W plots than M-W due to emplacement of Arundo donax mats, resulting in better soil aggregate stability. Thus, AGT application can be a potential practice for soil aggregation stability and C sequestration in the IHR. Conservation soil practices along with AGT are more profitable than conservation soil practices alone which had ~10% less benefit : cost ratio (B:C) on 4% land slopes of IHR.

An experiment was conducted during 2020–21 and 2021–22 under FACE (Free air concentration enrichment) by growing PDZM 31 (Pusa Double Zero Mustard 31) genotype under different treatments (elevated ozone, carbon dioxide, their interaction, and ambient). The aim of the study was to assess the impact of elevated ozone and carbon dioxide interaction on the growth and yield of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.]. Growth characteristics (Crop growth rate, Absolute growth rate, Specific leaf area, Specific leaf weight, Dry weight of Biomass, Plant height, and no. of leaves) and yield attributes were negatively impacted under elevated ozone during different growth stages of Indian mustard followed by an increased growth under elevated CO2. In seed yield under interaction treatment, the elevated CO2 ameliorates the negative effects of elevated ozone by about 3.85% and 4.27% in both years.
Genomic assisted breeding and holistic management of abiotic and biotic stress in silkworm host cultivation: A review
Authors: DUO HRIIPULOU , DORJEE LHAM , RAISING L PEACE , ZHIIPAO R RUSTUM
Published: August 2023

Silk is a high-value, low-volume product, produced by an important insect commonly known as the silkworm. Sericulture serves as a source of livelihood for farmers besides being an important source of economy for many countries including India. Sustainable production of premium silk depends on continuous production of quality foliage as feed for silkworms obtained from host plants. The production of silk is significantly hampered when host plants are subjected to biotic and abiotic stresses. The foliage harvest could be enhanced when these constraints are efficiently managed by the development of stress-resistant host cultivars. Improved stress-resistant cultivars have been developed using conventional breeding strategies and used in commercial cultivation. However, the highly heterozygous genetic nature of the hosts makes it difficult to understand the inheritance and expression of these quantitative traits. Adoption of appropriate conventional breeding strategies along with genomics tools such as genome-wide association studies, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and advanced OMICS approaches could prove handy in the development of improved and stress-resistant cultivars. Deeper understanding of the mechanism of tolerance to various stress is required in breeding for improved cultivars. The number of stress-tolerant cultivars is scanty and therefore, holistic management of these stresses through an inter-disciplinary approach could be the most suitable strategy. Adoption of appropriate cultural practices and control measures is necessary for sustainable production under stress regimes. This comprehensive review holds great importance in improving silkworm host cultivation and to researchers in the field of sericulture.
The Impact of Board Characteristics on the Financial Performance of Savings and Credit Co-operative Societies in Arusha and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Authors: Mlay Lilian , Temu Sylvia , Mataba Lucas
Published: August 2023

This paper examines the impact of board characteristics—such as size, gender diversity, skills, and meeting frequency—on the financial performance of SACCOSs in Tanzania. The study focused on three financial performance indicators: net loan income, operating efficiency ratio, and deposit-to-asset ratio. Descriptive statistics and linear regression models were used to analyse panel data collected from financial reports of 198 SACCOSs for five years (2014–2018). The results show a positive and significant relationship between financially-skilled board member(s) and the depositto-asset ratio; conversely, they were negatively associated with the operating efficiency ratio. The results further show that board meetings are positively and significantly related to net loan income, whereas board size is positively associated with the operating efficiency ratio. Moreover, the paper found no evidence of a relationship between women’s board members and financial performance. Impliedly, having financially-skilled directors on a board and regular board meetings facilitated financial performance in a SACCOS. Thus, the paper calls for board members to have financial skills, and boards to conduct regular meetings for constructive advice and effective monitoring to boost financial performance.

Authors: Sánchez-Sánchez Mario , Aispuro-Hernández Emmanuel , Quintana-Obregón Eber Addí , Martinez-Tellez Miguel Angel
Published: August 2023

Background: Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) has spread worldwide affecting tomato crop production in several countries. Although there are commercial ToBRFV-resistant tomato varieties; still, careful monitoring of its prevalence is necessary for establishing feasible epidemiological control programs. Since Sonora has a strategic geographic location for tomato cultivation and export, studies on the detection and prevention of ToBRFV outbreaks are pertinent as part of the actions to achieve the eradication of this virus. Objective: To determine the recent prevalence of ToBRFV in tomato-producing areas of the state of Sonora, Mexico in the period 2021-2022, using a combination of molecular and serological tools. Methodology: Samples of tomato leaves and fruits were collected from commercial greenhouses in different regions of Sonora from September 2021 to June 2022. Forty-four tomato leaves and 42 seed samples were analyzed for ToBRFV using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and by direct detection of viral epitopes by immunochromatography. Results: 60% and 48% of the samples tested positive for ToBRFV by immunochromatography and RT-qPCR, respectively, showing an exact agreement regarding the samples’ origin. Implications: Future research may focus on genomic analysis of viral isolates that would provide clues of ToBRFV propagation speed and emergence of particular viral strains typical of the place of origin. Conclusion: The presence of ToBRFV in the state of Sonora, Mexico is limited to specific geographic sites, which suggests that local regulations and phytosanitary actions have worked to control the spread of the virus.

Published: August 2023

Background. Due to the harmful effects resulting from the addition of antibiotics to treat diseases affecting poultry and their use as growth promoter, it was necessary to have safe alternatives such as organic acids and probiotics, which work to provide an appropriate pH for activity of beneficial bacteria and reducing the numbers of harmful pathogenic bacteria. Objective. To assess the effects of dietary supplementation of probiotics, with or without organic acids (acetic, propionic, and benzoic) on growth performance, carcass quality, digestibility, intestinal development, gut microbiota, and serum parameters of broiler chicks. Methodology. A total number of 250 one-day old, unsexed Ross (308) broiler chicks, were equally assigned to five feeding treatments (50 birds/treatment, five replicates of ten birds/treatment) as follows: T1 (control); fed a basal diet (BD), T2; fed BD + 2g commercial probiotics (PRO)/kg diet, T3: fed BD + 2g PRO/ kg diet + 10 ml acetic acid/kg diet, T4: fed BD + 2g PRO/kg diet + 10 ml propionic acid/ kg diet, and T5: fed BD + 2g PRO/ kg diet + 10 ml benzoic acid / kg diet. The trial prolonged from day 1 to day 42 of age. Results. Compared to the control, the results revealed that body weight and body weight gain were significantly improved at 3 and 6 wks of age as a result of supplementing the diets with probiotics and organic acids (especially benzoic acid). The positive impacts of the supplements on FCR were more pronounced from 4-6 weeks and for the overall period (0-6 wks). No mortalities occurred when organic acids were supplemented. The tested supplements also decreased bacterial counts of ileal E. coli. Moreover, probiotics plus benzoic acid treatment (T5) significantly (P < 0.05) increased the ileal lactobacilli count. Carcass traits, internal organs and GIT histological parameters were positively affected by different treatments, especially probiotics plus benzoic acid treatment. The supplements improved ALT, AST and ALP activity and decreased cholesterol and triglycerides content in blood serum (P <0.05). Implications. The study showed that the addition of organic acids to probiotics led to an increase in the lactobacilli count. Conclusions. The tested feed supplements displayed beneficial impacts and positive role on broilers productive performance and improved their gut health and function through enhancement of the intestinal microbiota.

Early detection and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, HIV, and hepatitis B and C are vital to minimise the harm they cause. This Evidence Check aimed to identify effective initiatives that engage and support GPs and the GP clinic workforce in NSW to increase testing for these conditions. It also aimed to identify effective modifications to practice management software to increase GP engagement in screening and care for these conditions. Sixty-two articles were found in total. The most effective initiatives used multiple interventions, particularly provider education and quality improvement. They involved both GPs and other health workers, and offered clinic-level initiatives to help identify patients at higher risk (e.g. software-generated alerts) and engage them in testing (e.g. through self-collected specimens). Models of care that used nurse-led testing or links to specialist services offered a way to increase capacity to carry out testing. The quality of evidence was mixed—there were few randomised controlled trials, and little evidence about the sustainability of the initiatives over time, highlighting the need for further high-quality research.
