Published: December 2022

Organizational culture has indeed become a pattern of basic assumptions that are determined or developed by a group of people in a company where the place for learning to overcome problems of external adaptation and internal integration has worked so well that it is considered legitimate to be taught to new members as the right way to think. This will affect employee motivation towards the work they are currently doing and affect the performance of the form of accountability to the organization and the public. Performance in carrying out its functions does not stand alone, but is always related to employee job satisfaction and the level of compensation given, and is influenced by skills, abilities and individual characteristics. Therefore the research aims to determine how much influence organizational culture and motivation have on employee performance and this research uses quantitative data on questionnaire distribution by obtaining a total of 101 samples of respondents and using the t test, f test and the coefficient of determination test.

Published: December 2022

Learning supervision is one of the efforts to increase the teacher's role in carrying out their duties so that it is hoped that it can help develop teacher competence. However, supervision is often seen as a heavy burden that must be faced by teachers. This research was conducted to assess the perceptions, responses, and attitudes of teachers towards learning supervision. All three must be kept positive so that they become motivation and momentum to absorb input from supervisors. The results of the study show that teachers' perceptions of supervision in various regions in Indonesia are very different, some are already good and some are still lacking. The response of the teachers was generally good and made supervision a means of balancing, bridge and communication. Meanwhile, the attitudes of teachers tend to be low because they do not yet feel a good partnership between teachers and supervisors.

Published: December 2022

This article looks at the historical materialism approach of Karl Max and naturalism according to J.J Rousseau. Materialism is an understanding that only relies on material that does not believe in what is behind the unseen world. Not believing in the unseen world means not believing in the existence of a power that controls the universe and that automatically denies the existence of God as the creator of the universe, because according to this understanding nature and everything in it originate from one source, namely matter. Marx believed that human intellectual development was determined by the material conditions of human life. That is, material needs precede consciousness. This theory is often called historical materialism. Naturalism is a school that believes in nature and also milieu (environment). The flow of naturalism views that the child created by the creator is good while the environment is bad. Naturalism is a school that believes in nature and also milieu (environment).

The Concept of Teachers and Its Scope
Authors: Muchamad Toif Chasani
Published: December 2022

This paper aims to explain the position of the teacher as the subject of education, which is seen from the ethics of the teacher, the basic skills that must be possessed by the teacher, the duties and roles of the teacher, and the pattern of recruitment to become a teacher. Teachers as central figures in education must have sufficient competence and qualifications from their background, ethics, work or activities other than being a teacher. This research method uses literature review, with primary and secondary data sources, and the analysis used is content analysis. The results of this study indicate that the teacher is a central figure in education. His position cannot be replaced and at the same time serves as an example for students in particular and society in general. As an example, teachers cannot avoid the professional ethics attached to them. Apart from that, the pattern of teacher recruitment must also be carried out not only looking at the cognitive aspect alone, but other aspects such as adab and morality must be the main consideration.

STATE OF WAR AS AN INTERNATIONAL LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL INSTITUTION
Authors: Prokop Krzysztof
Published: December 2022

The subject of the article is an analysis of the state of war from an international legal and constitutional perspective. Until the beginning of the 20th century, international law recognized the right of a state to wage war as an important manifestation of its sovereignty. Attempts to limit this right boiled down to the development of a just war concept. It was only the United Nations Charter that introduced a ban on the use of force in international relations or the threat of its use. The only permissible exception is the exercise of the right to self-defense, either individually or collectively. Thus, the provisions on declaring war (declaring a state of war) found in the constitutions of some states acquired only a competence value. They define the competence of state organs in the event of an armed conflict. In the Constitution of the Third Republic of Poland (1997), the state of war is regulated in Article 116. The substantive prerequisites for the declaration of a state of war are identical to the implementation of the right of the state to individual or collective self-defense, admitted by the Charter of the United Nations.
Legal and political aspects of war reparations from Germany
Authors: Sopiński Michał
Published: December 2022

This article presents the issue of war reparations from Germany in political and legal terms. The settlement of property claims resulting from war between states is a problem in which political factors always play the most important role in addition to legal issues. The article discusses the conceptual difference between indemnisation of war and war reparations, the legal basis of the war reparations demanded by Poland from Germany for the consequences of World War II in a broad political context, including the development of Polish-German relations after 1945. Great emphasis is placed on the arrangements of the Potsdam Conference and the legal analysis of the question of the legality of the Polish People's Republic's renunciation of war reparations from Germany in 1953. Finally, the article briefly presents the contemporary efforts of the Polish authorities to obtain war reparations from Germany.

Published: December 2022

The present study was conducted with an objective of studying the role of certain additives e.g. chloroquine diphosphate and ascorbic acid in maintaining the membrane integrity, viability and motility of spermatozoa at various pre- and post-freezing stages of semen of Jersey bulls maintained under sub-temperate climate. Work was conducted at Sperm Station Palampur, Himachal Pradesh, India, on six apparently healthy pure bred Jersey breeding bulls. A total of 36 ejaculates (6 from each bull), were analysed at six different stages of processing namely neat semen evaluation, post-dilution, post-equilibration, post-thaw and after 1 and 2 h incubation post-thaw at 37Â°C for progressive motility, live dead count, reaction to hypo-osmotic solution and acrosomal integrity, respectively. Evaluation of the semen was done for three groups, i.e. control group (G1), semen fortified with chloroquine diphosphate (G2) and ascorbic acid (G3).The results of the study revealed a significant improvement in progressive motility, live sperm percentage, reaction to hypo-osmotic solution and acrosomal integrity of semen having chloroquine diphosphate (G2) and ascorbic acid (G3) as additives when compared to control group. So, fortification of semen should be done with chloroquine diphosphate and ascorbic acid to improve the quality of semen in future.

The study was designed to determine the haematological and biochemical alterations in sero-negative native sheep following the experimental bluetongue virus serotype-2 (BTV-2) infection. The BTV infected group comprised 14 sheep inoculated with 6 ml of clarified virus containing 1Ã—106/ml TCID50 of BTV-2 by intradermal route. The uninfected control group comprised 6 animals inoculated with 6 ml of cell culture medium without virus by intradermal route. The blood and serum samples were analyzed at 0, 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, 14, 21 and 45 days post-infection (dpi). Significant changes were observed in all the haematological and biochemical parameters studied. Marked leucopenia was observed from 2 to 7 dpi in BTV infected group. Significant leucocytosis was documented during 11 to 14 dpi in infected group. Significant thrombocytopenia was observed during 2 to 14 dpi whereas significantly low packed cell volume (PCV) and haemoglobin (Hb) values were observed between 3 and 21 dpi in BTV infected group. Differential leucocyte count revealed significantly low lymphocyte percentage on day 3 and high on day 11 in infected group. The various biochemical enzymes like alanine aminotransferase (ALT) showed significantlyhigh values during 3 to 21 dpi, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) during 3 to 21 dpi, alkaline phosphatise (ALP) during 3 to 11 dpi and creatine kinase (CK) during 7 to 14 dpi in BTV infected group. The result of our study demonstrated significantly decreased levels of total leucocyte count, total platelet count, haemoglobin and PCV values while significantly increased levels of ALT, AST, ALP and CK values in BTV infected group. On histopathological examination, spleen and lymph nodes showed depletion of lymphoid cells, liver and kidney showed degeneration, congestion and haemorrhage at many places. The BTV nucleic acid was detected from blood and tissues by RT-PCR. These findings indicated the damage to various soft tissue organs and muscles as a sequel to vascular endothelial damages caused by BTV.

Authors: CHOLAKKAL IBRAHEEM KUTTY
Published: December 2022

Artificial insemination (AI) is widely used in farm animals for efficient utilization of superior males. However, AI is not being used in camels due to various difficulties involved in the process. In an attempt to develop the technology in camels, the present study was carried out to assess the success rate of insemination using fresh semen mixed by physical agitation within the extender media for overcoming difficulties out of gel formation. The studywas carried out utilizing 3 males and 10 female Omani camels. Starting from November 2015, 109 semen ejaculates were collected and good quality ejaculates were extended using Triladyl or Tris sucrose based extenders. Ejaculates added with the extender were subjected to physical stirring for 30 sec using plastic straws to achieve mixing of the ejaculate gel. Female camels were scanned regularly for ovarian activity, ovulation was induced and AI done using fresh extended semen doses having at least 100 million motile sperms. Seventeen AI in three rounds resulted in 9 pregnancies giving an overall conception rate of 53%. First insemination conception rate was 50% and 80% of thecamels conceived at least by three AI. Various determinants of conception from AI in camels are discussed. It is concluded that insemination using fresh semen extended by physical agitation in Triladyl and Tris Sucrose extenders provided encouraging conception rate for developing AI technology in camels.

Authors: KUMARI SWATI , RAY P K , SINGH RAHUL , SAIKUMAR G
Published: December 2022

Porcine Sapelovirus (PSV) is a RNA virus belonging to a new genus Sapelovirus of family Picornaviridae. PSV has been isolated from India in 2016. In the present study, mice experiment was conducted to detect the ability of PSV to infect mice and its ability to induce pathological lesions. The intestinal and extra intestinal spread of the PSV virus in three week-old Swiss albino mice inoculated with PSV virus quantified by probe based real time PCR are described. Herein, three groups were made with 10 mice per group (both sex). The first group was infected through oral route (8Ã—106, TCID50, 240 Î¼l/mice) while the second through intra-peritoneal route (8Ã—106, TCID50, 240 Î¼l/mice) and the third group was inoculated with PBS of neutral pH orally and intra-peritoneal route. Seven mice (each from oral and intraperitoneal route and three from control group were sacrificed at 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 17th, 21st day post infection (DPI). Indian strain was able to replicate in mice organs up to 15 DPI in oral route and 9 DPI in intraperitoneal route. By real-time reverse transcription (RT) PCR, PSV was detected in most of the organs but with highest viral load in the small intestine and large intestine than extra-intestinal organs in the orally infected mice. In addition, this Indian strain is enteropathogenic but could spread to the bloodstream from the gut and disseminate to extra-intestinal organs. These results will contribute to our understanding of PSV pathogenesis.

Published: December 2022

This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of uterine lavage sample optical density (ULSOD) test at the time of insemination for diagnosis of subclinical endometritis (SCE). Buffaloes (86) at the time of estrus having >5% polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells in endometrial cytosmears were designated as positive (21) and buffaloes with ≤5% PMN cell as negative (65) for SCE. Presence of E. coli, A. pyogenes and F. necrophorum in the uterus was detected based upon PCR amplification of genes related to bacteria specific virulence factors (fimH, fimA and lktA genes, respectively). Pathogenic bacteria were isolated from 76.2% buffaloes with SCE as compared to 39.4% buffaloes without SCE. E. coli (fimH) and F. necrophorum (lktA) represented the major bacteriological risk factor for occurrence of SCE. The optical density of uterine lavage was measured at 352, 500, 620, 790 and 960 nm wavelengths. ULSOD620 was selected as reference wavelength because it presented the greatest area under curve (0.80). The recommended threshold for the receiver operator curve was 0.029 with a sensitivity and specificity of 85.7 and 73.8%, respectively. In the current study, the level of agreement (kappa) of ULSOD620 with cytobrush cytology was moderate (0.49) and the diagnostic accuracy was good (76.7%). Buffaloes with ≤0.029 ULSOD620 at the time of estrus had significantly lower conception rate at corresponding AI as compared to buffaloes with ≤0.029 ULSOD620. It is suggested that ULSOD620 measurement could be used as alternative to endometrial cytology and can be a tool to predict the outcome of artificial insemination in buffaloes.

Published: December 2022

Present study was conducted to find the relationship of udder morphometry with milk yield and body condition traits in Beetal goats. Beetal goats (60) having 4 different parities were used. Udder (length, column width, row width, depth, circumference, volume) and teat (length, diameter, circumference, height from ground, inter teat distance) morphological traits were recorded just before morning milking at fortnightly interval up to 3 months post-kidding stage. Simultaneously, milk yield (morning and daily) and body condition parameters (body condition score (BCS), sternal and lumbar thickness) were also recorded. All the udder morphological traits were positively correlated with morning as well as daily milk yield. Similarly, teat morphological traits were also positively correlated with morning as well as daily milk yield except teat height from ground which had negative correlation. Whereas some of the udder and teat morphological traits showed positive correlation with body condition parameters. Milk yield had positive correlation with BCS, sternal and lumbar thickness. It can be concluded that the udder and teat morphological traits have direct relationship with milk yield and body condition parameters in Beetal goats.

Published: December 2022

It could be concluded that tidal coastal zones contain high level of micro-minerals in soil and plants. Paradoxically, local goats inhabiting in this particular ecosystem are deficient in Fe, Cu and Mn. This might be an adaptive response of animals in that area. Tanins are well-known inhibitor of Fe absorption from intestine. Regular consumption of tanins and other plant alkaloids during grazing and browsing might also be responsible for low bio-availability of the minerals in the plasma. Further research is warranted to have more insight on mineral status of small ruminants in fascinating ecosystem of Sundarbans.

Published: December 2022

The study was aimed to examine the right cranial epigastric vein (CEV) using B-mode and Doppler ultrasonography in clinically healthy non-gravid cows (20) and buffaloes (20); bovines suffering from traumatic reticuloperitonitis (15 cows and 20 buffaloes) and reticulo-diaphragmatic hernia (5 cows and 15 buffaloes). The data was statistically analyzed and compared between and within the groups. The Doppler parameters of cranial epigastric vein in healthy bovines showed a significant species difference. The blood flow velocities, peak systole (PS), end diastole (ED), time average maximum (TA max) and time average mean (TA mean) were significantly higher in cows compared to buffaloes. However, the pulsatility index (PI), the resistive index (RI), vessel diameter and the depth of the vein were significantly higher in buffaloes compared to cows. The highest per cent change in the Doppler parameters of cranial epigastric vein in between the healthy cows and buffaloes were recorded in the PI followed by the RI. A significant decrease in PS, ED, TA max, TA mean and blood volume flow/min was recorded in cows suffering from traumatic reticuloperitonitis (TRP) and reticulo-diaphragmatic hernia (RDH). The reduction was more in cows with RDH compared to TRP. The CEV was significantly more superficial in TRP affected cows. The PI of TRP affected cows and the TA mean of RDH affected cows recorded the highest per cent change compared to healthy cows. In buffaloes, only the PS was significantly increased in TRP affected buffaloes and those suffering from RDH. Significant species-specific differences exist in the blood flow parameters of healthy cows and buffaloes. Doppler blood flow parameters of diseased cows suffering from TRP and RDH was more significantly affected compared to that of buffaloes. The database generated for non-gravid crossbred Indian cows and buffaloes can be used as a reference range for further studies.

Published: December 2022

The polymorphism in ovine relaxin family peptide receptor 2 gene and the relevance of earlier established human and mice cryptorchidism associated SNPâ€™s in Mandya and Hassan Sheep was studied. Genomic DNA was extracted from 60 cryptorchid and 80 normal unrelated sheep. Two sets of primers were designed to amplify exon 8 and exon 12â€“13 regions of ovine RXFP2 gene. SSCP revealed no polymorphism at exon 8, exon 12 and exon 13 of ovine RXFP2 indicating absence of T222P in exon 8 and D294G in exon 12 as reported in human and mice cryptorchids respectively. A novel SNP (KF527573.1, 171T>A) in intron12 of ovine RXFP2 was observed. The sheep population studied was in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium for the genotypes of the SNP. The distribution of genotypes was significantly different for Hassan and Mandya sheep breeds. However, the SNP in both the breeds studied was not associated with the cryptorchid phenotype.
In silico characterization of interferon-stimulated gene (ISG15) as a biomarker for early pregnancy diagnosis in Bubalus bubalis
Authors: BATRA KANISHT , NANDA TRILOK
Published: December 2022

Reproductive management of livestock is the foremost requirement for increasing production from any dairy animal. High reproductive efficiency can be achieved by implementation of one of the crucial management practices which involves early differentiation of pregnant and non-pregnant animals. The early and precise pregnancy diagnosis is the major problem in Bubalus bubalis (buffalo) due to absence of estrous signs instead of normal cyclicity of reproductive organs. Therefore, in the present study, one of the conceptus derived protein interferon stimulated protein (15 kDa) released during 18 to 21 days after insemination in response to implantation of embryo was in silico characterized. The protein expressed by interferon-stimulated gene-15 (ISG15) was analyzed by isolation and sequencing of coding region of mRNA. The primary and secondary structures were predicted from the protein sequence to decipher the interaction of ISG15 protein with other molecules. The functional characterization identifies various motifs present in ISG15 protein which are responsible for its interaction with other proteins. Physiochemical properties predicted the ISG15 protein nature during in vitro conditions which are required for any of the assays development. In addition, immunogenic studies revealed ISG15 protein is strongly antigenic in nature and can be used for antibody production. In conclusion, ISG15 protein expression from buffalo is a good indicator of conceptus implantation and has suitable properties for being used as target to develop early pregnancy diagnostic kits.

Cerealâ€“legume mixture may be a viable option to improve forage yield and quality. Furthermore, nitrogen requirement may also varying according to proportion of legume component. Therefore, the present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of different intercropping ratios and nitrogen levels on productivity and nutritional quality of fodder maize (Zea mays L.) and Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.). The experiment was laid out in split plot arrangement with three intercropping row ratios of maize: cowpea (1:1, 2:1 and 1:2, respectively) in main plot and five nitrogen levels (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 kg N/ha) in sub plot. Highest total green fodder, protein and ash yield in 2:1 ratio whereas maximum ether yield was reported in 1:2 intercropping ratio of maize and cowpea. However, the maximum crude protein, ether extract, ash content and lowest NDF, ADF and ADL of maize and cowpea, respectively were obtained under 1:2 intercropping ratio of maize and cowpea. Among N levels, highest total green fodder, crude protein, ether and ash yield and as well as their content in green forage of maize and cowpea were recorded with the use of 120 kg N/ha. However, cowpea responded significantly upto 60 kg N/ha only. The lowest NDF, ADF and ADL of maize and cowpea were found when these crops fertilized with 120 Kg N/ha. A significant interaction between intercropping ratios and N levels was reported in terms of yield. Thus, it can be concluded that nitrogen rates 90, 120 and 60 kg/ha found suitable to achieve maximum fodder yield in 1:1, 2:1 and 1:2 (maize: cowpea) ratios, respectively.

Este artículo tiene el propósito de establecer una valoración ambiental del Humedal Santa Ana, ubicado en el área urbana de la ciudad de Florencia, Caquetá, Colombia. El estudio integra aspectos del sistema natural, social y económico de la zona. La metodología es de carácter analítico-descriptiva, soportada mediante el análisis de información primaria producto de trabajo de campo y aplicación de un cuestionario socioambiental a la comunidad. Se realizó un análisis de la importancia ecológica y problemática ambiental, un análisis de problemas ambientales mediante el modelo Presión-Estado-Respuesta (PER), la construcción de escenarios a partir del análisis DOFA (Dificultades, Oportunidades, Fortalezas y Amenazas); con toda esta información se formula una propuesta de desarrollo sostenible para el humedal Santa Ana. Dentro de los principales resultados obtenidos se resalta que la problemática ambiental del humedal es el producto de presiones antrópicas debido a los procesos de extensión urbana sin planificación y a la poca cultura ambiental de la comunidad, que ha llevado a la generación de dos problemas ambientales principales: la contaminación hídrica por aguas residuales y la pérdida de la biodiversidad. La comunidad aledaña al humedal tiene buen nivel educativo, sus actividades económicas permiten ubicarse por encima de los límites de pobreza, reconocen la existencia de las problemáticas ambientales, hay preocupación ambiental y responsabilizan a la institucionalidad. Se concluye que los aspectos socioeconómicos y proceso actual de empoderamiento del territorio pueden facilitar la educación ambiental y desarrollo sostenible del humedal.

Cultural spotlight to the stage of criminology: a bibliometric brief on cultural criminology
Authors: Ranaweera K.G.N.U
Published: December 2022

In the last two decades, cultural criminology has developed a unique viewpoint on criminal behaviour and law. Cultural criminology is a subfield of criminology that focuses on how dynamics of meaning underpin every process in criminal justice, including the very definition of crime. In other words, the goal of cultural criminology is to comprehend crime within the context of culture and cultural processes. This particular form of criminological analysis evaluates the convergence of cultural and criminal processes by interweaving a diverse array of perspectives that share a sensitivity to image, meaning, and representation. In addition, the discipline of cultural criminology is developing new methods that represent particular theoretical perspectives and connect with the distinctive elements of contemporary social and cultural life. The lightning-fast pace of contemporary crime and culture has opened up new ethnographic research opportunities for cultural criminologists. Bibliometric analysis is a common and rigorous technique for examining and analyzing vast scientific data, which enables the dissection of the evolutionary nuances of a specific field and the illumination of its emerging areas. In order to identify the nature and the distribution of the literature on cultural criminology, the paper aims to determine the number of publications, the intellectual structure, and the key concepts of cultural criminology via a bibliometric analysis, using VOSviewer software.

Published: December 2022

Comprehensive and multidisciplinary rehabilitation is gaining momentum as a useful strategy that aims to improve physical, psychological, and social components of health in subjects affected by violence, trauma, and mental distress. Previous and current wars have prioritized essential diagnostic and rehabilitative services to civil subjects and military servicepersons which can be delivered by skilled physiatrists and allied specialists. Stratifying subjects in need of various rehabilitative procedures and offering them psychological support, balanced nutrition, musculoskeletal care, and socialisation in a safe and relaxing atmosphere may improve their mental and functional capacities and resolve numerous health issues. The choice of comprehensive rehabilitative procedures depends on their availability and understanding of complementary effects of various interventions.
