Mitochondrial replacement therapy - a new remedy for defects in reproduction
Authors: PAL ARUNA , BANERJEE SAMIDDHA
Published: January 2023

Mitochondria is an important subcellular organelle with the prime function being energy metabolism and supply of energy to the body cells for carrying out the vital functions. Energy is the primary requisite for the reproductive organs of both male and female for carrying out the normal functions. In the present article, we have described how mutation in mitochondrial DNA lead to defects in male and female reproduction. Mitochondria is an integral part of the mid-piece of sperm and also has role in other parts of male reproductive system. Similarly, mitochondrial DNA has role in female reproductive system including ovulation, zygote activation, fertilization, oocyte maturation and embryo development. Mitochondrial defect are collectively named as "mystondria" (mysterious diseases of mitochondria) and may be corrected through mitochondrial replacement therapy, popularly known as three parent baby concept, since there are no other scope for cure or treatment. Two approaches for mitochondrial replacement therapy are pronuclear transfer and spindle transfer. The first three parent baby was developed in April 2016 through mitochondrial replacement therapy. The present review is aimed at functional relevance of three-parent baby concept in animal reproduction.

Hemoparasitic infections are frequently encountered in wild carnivores. Although, mostly, the infections are typically asymptomatic, they can be pathogenic under certain circumstances, viz. concurrent disease and stress due to captivity, habitat degradation, adverse climatic conditions or immunosuppression. The present study was undertaken to genotype Babesia sp. and Hepatozoon sp. isolated from lions of Lion Safari, Etawah, Uttar Pradesh, India and establishing phylogenetic relationship based on 18S rRNA sequence with other isolates around the globe. Blood samples of five Asiatic lions, received in the Clinical and Wildlife Parasitology Laboratory, Division of Parasitology, Indian Veterinary Research Institute, were screened microscopically for any haemoparasitic infection. Out of five, one sample was positive for Hepatozoon sp. and another sample was positive for Babesia sp. Polymerase chain reaction of 18S rRNA with genomic DNA amplified 1775 bp and 1665 bp segments for Hepatozoon sp. and Babesia sp., respectively. Sequencing of PCR amplicon and BLAST analysis indicated that Hepatozoon spp. in Asiatic lion was 99% similar to Hepatozoon felis isolate of Spain and Babesia spp. like organism was 95% similar to Babesia canis 18S ribosomal RNA gene of Israeli cat and Babesia canis canis of domestic dogs. Based on the literature available in public domain and the findings of present study, it can be concluded that these haemoprotozoa are not restricted to their respective hosts, and more than one genotype can be found in the same habitat. Cryptic babesiosis and hepatozoonosis can flare up in immuno-compromised animals and may result into fatal consequences in endangered Asiatic lion.

Vitamin E is the main chain-breaking, naturally occurring free radical scavenger that has significant biological implications on sperm. However, its role as an antioxidant on semen quality of buffalo bulls is still obscure. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of dietary feeding of vitamin E on fresh- and frozen-thawed semen characteristics, and antioxidant status in buffalo bull. Six apparently healthy breeding Murrah buffalo bulls were randomly selected at University bull farm for the present study. The bulls were divided into two groups, viz. control group (n = 3) and feeding group (n = 3). The bulls of feeding group were fed vitamin E @ 4000 IU/bull/day for 60 days. Accordingly, 120 ejaculates (one ejaculate/bull/session) were collected from bulls of control and feeding groups during pre-feeding, feeding and post-feeding phase of vitamin E and analyzed for semen characteristics and oxidative stress. Most beneficial effects of dietary feeding of vitamin E were observed during post-feeding phase. The percentages of total and progressive motility, viability, plasma membrane integrity, malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in bulls fed with vitamin E were significantly higher than in their control counterparts during post-feeding phase of fresh and frozen-thawed semen. The levels of same parameters were also significantly higher as compared to that during feeding stage in fresh- and frozen-thawed semen of feeding group. It is therefore concluded that feeding vitamin E to buffalo bulls protected sperm membrane against oxidative damage and improved the fertilizing potential of spermatozoa.

This study was conducted to evaluate the ability of infrared thermography (IRT) for the early detection of mastitis. A total of 200 quarters of Karan Fries cows (50) were monitored for body temperature and udder skin surface temperature (USST) prior to milking using FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) i5 camera. Milk samples were collected from each quarter and screened for mastitis using somatic cell count (SCC), electrical conductivity (EC) and California mastitis test (CMT). The mean (±SD) body temperature of an individual cow during the study period was 37.17±0.07°C. The mean (±SD) body and USST (37.16±0.06°C) of non mastitis cow did not differ significantly; however, the mean USST of the mastitis affected quarters were significantly higher than the body and non-mastitis quarter temperature. The mean (±SD) USST of the subclinical and clinical mastitis affected quarters were 37.9±0.09°C and 38.2±0.10°C, respectively which is 0.8 and 1.1°C higher than the body and non-mastitis quarter temperature. The increase in USST of subclinical mastitis quarters showed a positive correlation with the SCC. It is concluded that IRT technique could be used as a potential non-invasive, quick cow side diagnostic tool for screening and early detection of mastitis in crossbred cows.

Published: January 2023

Knowledge of the phenotypic and morphological characteristics of animals is a prerequisite for the improvement and conservation of breeds. The present study contributed to the morphometric study of a total 100 adult Berbere breed of sheep, which is near to extinction (average age 3.24±1.25 years) and sparsely distributed in different zones of the El-Tarf region in Eastern Algeria. Fourteen (14) body measurements were used to calculate 11 zootechnical indexes with qualitative characteristics in order to determine an ethnic and functional classification of this breed. Significant differences in several body measurements were detected between regions, sexes and age groups. A principal component analysis was performed on body measurements, revealing two major components that make up 60.07 and 14.68% of total inertia. This analysis made it possible to establish differences between five classes which have implications to be taken into account in the breed conservation program. However, zootechnical indexes showed that the Berbere breed is a short-sighted breed (BI=0.84±0.08), light, close to the ground (DT=0.48±0.04), small, oblong (LI=1.14±0.11 and DCI=0.37±0.05), medium sized (eumetric) with a straight dorsal line (BR=0.99±0.02) and dolichocephalic heads (CI=0.56±0.05). The analysis of the qualitative characteristics showed a great phenotypic diversity in this breed.

Authors: SHELKE R R , CHAVAN S D , KAHATE P A
Published: January 2023

Feeding of untreated (T2) and 2% urea treated SBS (T3) was evaluated in reference to Jowar straw diet (T1) with the main objective to find out its effect on dry matter intake, yield and quality of cow milk. Enrichment of soybean straw with urea increases the palatability and acceptability of SBS in cows, which results in more consumption of straw by 42% in reference to untreated straw. Over the experimental period, T3 cows produced 26 and 29, and 24 and 25% more milk and 4% FCM despite of reduction in the concentrates feeding by 62 and 42% in comparison to T1 and T2 cows, respectively. Similarly, the quality of milk in respect to specific gravity, fat, protein, SNF and total solids contents were significantly improved in T3 than that of T1 and T2 groups. The results do suggest that 2% urea treated SBS can find a place in the ration of lactating cows without any adverse effect on performance of cows.

A Geopolitical War in Europe: Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine and its Implications
Authors: Dr. Irfan Hasnain Qaisrani  , Mr. Bilal Habib Qazi  , Dr. Hussain Abbas
Published: January 2023

The security-insecurity paradox in a geopolitical struggle between Russia and its ex-territory; Ukraine along with the politics of the influences between great powers has made the Russian invasion a reality. Russian intervention in its periphery in February 2022 has sent shockwaves to the European Union and NATO members, and posed various challenges to the Eurasian states. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a protracted one, but this new phase is more complex and multi-layered. Russia’s annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol in 2014, and support to the militant separatists in Donbas, undermined Ukrainian sovereignty. A series of border skirmishes occurred during 2014-2021, which led to thousands of people dead and injured.[1] The tension converted into a humanitarian crisis with millions of refugees and collateral damages after the 2022 war. This recent situation can be termed as a geopolitical warfare, which is based on the politics of security to assert political advantages in the desired geopolitical sphere of influence.
In this paper, an effort has been made to examine the structural, bilateral, and regional issues that have led Russia to engage in a risky war. It hypothesise that this war cannot be recognized only as a bilateral war between Russia and Ukraine based on the old issues, rather it is the result of new developments in the shape of Ukraine’s pursuit for a new identity and affinity with West, its bid for NATO membership and as a client of US and EU against Russia in the great power rivalry. The theoretical lens of Neo-Realism and the security dilemma best explains the causes of the war between the two. Finally, this study also endeavours to trace some important implications for the Eurasian Region.

Context: Calcareous chitin, chitin, chitosan, and their modifications are used as bioadsorbents of metals and dyes that cause environmental pollution, endocrine disruption, and human diseases. Aims: To evaluate the selective bioadsorption of silver ions (Ag+) by calcareous chitin, chitin, and chitosan. Methods: Experimental and prospective study. The presence of functional groups of the bioadsorbents was identified by Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 1H-NMR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Elovich models were applied to describe the adsorption capacity of bioadsorbents according to granule size (20-40, 40-60, 60-80 meshes) and temperature (10, 20, and 30°C). Results: The FT-IR spectrum of calcareous chitin indicates the presence of carbonate (CO3= 1420 cm-1), amide III (1313 cm-1), –OH groups (3441.90 cm-1), and pyranose structure (952.83 cm-1); chitin has –OH groups (3441.90 cm-1), NH (3268 cm-1), amide I (1654 cm-1) and II (1559 cm-1); chitosan has –OH groups (3419.90 cm-1), –NH (3200 cm-1), amide I (1712.18 cm-1), –NH2 (1654.46 cm-1), amide III (1317.11 cm-1) and pyranose structure (1070.12 cm-1 and 1031 cm-1). The Langmuir model indicates greater bioadsorption of Ag+ ions at smaller particle sizes (60-80 = 0.25-0.18 mm) and at a temperature of 20-30°C. Conclusions: The bioadsorption of silver ions (Ag+) by chitosan is greater with respect to calcareous chitin and chitin; the Langmuir model fits for the Ag+ isotherm and suggests that the process is controlled by physisorption.

THE ROLE OF PROFITABILITY AS AN INTERVENING VARIABLE ON THE EFFECT OF INFLATION, INTEREST RATES, AND EXCHANGE RATES ON STOCK RETURNS (STUDY ON CONSUMER GOODS INDUSTRY SUB-SECTOR COMPANIES LISTED ON THE INDONESIA STOCK EXCHANGE FOR THE 2017-2020 PERIOD)
Authors: Emma Suryani  , Yesi Mardiana
Published: January 2023

Purpose: This study aims to look into and evaluate the overall effects of inflation, interest rates and currency rates on stock returns through profitability.

Methodology/approach: The research firm used a purposive sample of 26, using secondary data and causality research methodologies with a quantitative approach. The population of the study consists of 41 companies. Using E-views V.11 software, the data analysis method employed is panel data analysis and path analysis.

Results/Findings demonstrate that exchange rates, interest rates, and inflation negatively impact profitability. Furthermore, profitability directly has a significant positive impact on stock returns, but inflation, interest rates, and currency rates have a significant negative impact. The path analysis's findings demonstrate that profitability cannot mitigate the stock return effects of inflation, interest rates, and currency rates.

Limitations: during the research period 2017-2020, using one sample from the manufacturing subsector, namely the consumer goods industry subsector.

Contribution: it is expected that investors need to consider macroeconomic aspects such as inflation, interest rates, and exchange rates, which are announced every month because they will pose an investment risk. Then investors need to consider profitability because high profitability will increase stock prices and provide investors with profits.

Novelty: inconsistencies in previous studies made the authors add profitability as a mediating factor and data processing using panel data on the consumer goods industry subsector in this study.

HALAL TOURISM MANAGEMENT OF BANTEN PROVINCE AS AN EFFORT TO INCREASE REGIONAL INCOME
Authors: Abduh Muhammad
Published: January 2023

without eliminating the concept of conventional tourism as a whole. The concept of halal which refers to the provisions of Islamic law makes the provisions apply universally, especially in traveling as well as in terms of consuming a product and service. Although currently Banten Province is still outside the Top Ten Indonesian Halal Tourism, the potential of Banten Province is very large considering that Banten is one of the buffer areas between the islands of Java and Sumatra in the paradigm of the Master Plan for the Acceleration of Indonesian Economic Development (MP3EI) 2011-2025, and become the largest transit point for foreign tourists in Indonesia through Soekarno Hatta International Airport. Optimization of Halal Tourism Management is one of the main instruments that can be carried out by Banten Province in order to be able to capture various economic potentials in the Tourism Sector.

This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Descriptive studies analyze the productivity of articles, books, and other formats by looking at authorship patterns such as the gender of the author, the type of work the author does, the level of collaboration, and the productivity of the author.

Halal tourism management and conventional tourism still have the same problem in terms of accessibility, communication, environment and service. Looking at the diversity of existing tourism components, Banten is able to offer the potential of religious tourism destinations and halal food optimally. In terms of halal tourism services, some adjustments are still needed considering the need for several sharia certifications in the implementation of hospitality, transportation, and labor services. Regional income can be maximized if the problem of accessibility, communication, environment and service can be minimized by tourism policy holders. The high potential of Muslim tourists from various foreign countries who transit in Banten must be able to be captured properly by the government so that Banten is able to become the Top Ten Halal Destinations in Indonesia.

The phenomenon of spiritual awareness in Muslim Indonesia is characterized among other things by the high interest of the Pilgrim approximately 221 thousand per year and 500 thousand Umrah pilgrims every year, the number of candidates was being Haji waiting until 2018 there are 2.8 million people in 2018. Nevertheless, Hajj Operation is identical to the issue of the utilization of funds prospective Haj pilgrims were not transparent use. The existence of Haji Financial Management Agency (BPKH) is expected to be a surveillance solution. CPC information accumulated funds initial deposit fee Hajj (BPIH) until 2022 could reach 147, 67 trillion. However, from year to year are finding potential state losses due to mismanagement of Hajj Fund Management. CPC had released the waste containing haj fee of Rp. 56.6 billion, including the cost of inefficiency boarding Rp. 12.8 billion, and some components have exorbitant fees a low cost Rp 58.5 billion. There is no clarity 3.5 Trillion Fund DAU (DAU) collected from the initial deposit prospective pilgrims could bring benefits and transparent its management.

The large number of pilgrims who have signed up compared with the available quota, made a pilgrim in a normal atmosphere and had to wait an average of 19 years. Data from the Ministry of Haj said that the waiting period is the shortest in North Sulawesi province which is 11 years old. Meanwhile, the longest waiting period is in Aceh and East Java, which is 22 years. When the pilgrims had paid a down payment of Rp 25 million, then the money will settle during the waiting time, resulting in the accumulation of funds for pilgrims in large numbers. Magnitude heaping amount proportionate to the amount of hajj pilgrims were included in the waiting list (waiting list). This gives an idea of the potential of the financial management of the Hajj which, if done with the precautionary principle can be done to maximize the value of money. So far, the fund management Hajj performed by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. The Hajj funds are placed in bank deposits, which is only Rp 2 billion guaranteed by the Deposit Insurance Agency (LPS). When compared with the accumulated fund-Haj per individual and the number of pilgrims, the rate of Rp 2 billion would be very small. And would be very unfortunate if the number of funds that settles fairly large haj without playing in the productive sector.

Published: January 2023

In addition to changing the daily lives of the world population and strengthening internet communications, the COVID-19 pandemic has also influenced the language we use in daily communication. In this paper, on the example of recommendations for the prevention of the spread of the disease and protection of health issued by the National and Regional Civil Protection Headquarters, we focus on the morphosyntactic aspects of addressing the citizens. Qualitative analysis of the corpus reveals that different means of expressing imperativeness are used depending on the illocutionary strength of the message itself. The most frequent means are imperatives, particularly during certain stages of the fight against the coronavirus, which testifies to the severity of the situation (‘state of war’). Infinitives and infinitives accompanied by modal verbs such as ‘trebati’ (‘need’), ‘morati’ (‘must’), ‘valjati’ (‘must/should’) are also frequent means of expressing the expected reaction, and they are used when the recipient is irrelevant (depersonalised) and the sender wishes to downtone the imperativeness of the message. Depersonalised structures have also proven to be frequent in various decisions relating to the introduction and cessation of various measures. Polite means of expressing imperativeness are the least frequent among the identified means, which suggests the importance of understanding the message about protecting oneself and others, and even more importantly, of behaving in accordance with it.

With the versatility and exponential growth of IoT solutions, the probability of being attacked has increased. Resource constraint IoT devices raised a challenge for the security handler to track logs of different variety of attacks generated on them while performing the forensic analysis. Commonly forensic analysis is performed on the devices that calculate how much loss has occurred to the device due to the diversity of attacks. The main objective of this paper to develop a framework through which secueity can perfrom the forensic analysis on resource contraint IoT devices. In this paper, we have proposed a framework that intelligently performs forensic analysis and detects the different types of attacks performed on the endpoint (IoT device) using a node to node (N2N) framework. Furthermore, this proposed solution is a blend of different forensic tools and Machine learning techniques to identify different types of attacks. Using a third-party log server, the problem of evidence recovery from the endpoint under attack is addressed. To determine the nature and effect of the attack we have used the logs by using the security onion (forensic server). Additionally, this framework is equipped to automatically detect attacks by using the different machine learning algorithms. The efficiency of machine learning models is measured upon the values of (1) Accuracy, (2) Precision, (3) Recall, and (4) F-Measure. The results show that the decision tree algorithm stands out with the optimum performance compared to other ML models. Overall this framework can be used for the secuirty of IoT devices as well as the evidence collection from the IoT endpoint. For the validation of the proposed framework more detailed results and performance, analysis is presented in this paper.
