Published: October 2024

The echo-biometrical evaluation of normal eye was done in 20 Gaddi goats with the help of ultrasonography at Gaddi goat unit, CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur. Trans-corneal and trans-palpebral ultrasound scanning of the normal eye was done in standing position without any sedation or regional nerve block. Xylocaine ointment (5%) was used to desensitize the cornea and 2% lignocaine jelly was applied directly on the cornea to serve as a conductive medium for ultrasound waves in trans-corneal technique. B-mode ultrasound scan of the eyes was done in both the transverse and sagittal planes. Corneal thickness varied from 0.03 to 0.07 cm, aqueous chamber depth from 0.12 to 0.31 cm, lens thickness from 0.78 to 0.96 cm, lens diameter from 0.92 to 1.36 cm, vitreous chamber depth from 0.90 to 1.08 cm, eyeball diameter from 1.90 to 2.66 cm and eyeball length from 1.90 to 2.12 cm. There was no statistically significant difference between the echo-biometric parameters of the left and right eye in the present study.
Knowledge, attitude and practices towards antibiotic usage among farmers rearing yaks, dzomo and hill cattle in the high-altitude regionsof Himachal Pradesh
Authors: NEGI RICHA , KUMAR ATUL
Published: October 2024

The present cross-sectional survey aimed to investigate knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of farmers of high altitude regions of Himachal Pradesh towards antibiotics and their usage. The survey was carried out using pre-validated questionnaires among 162 farmers (40 males and 122 females) engaged in animal husbandry practices particularly rearing yaks, dzomo and hill cattle from Lahaul, Spiti and Kinnaur regions of Himachal Pradesh. More than 75% of the respondents were aware of antibiotics, with females (83.6%) having more knowledge in comparison to males (52.5%). Using antibiotics in lactating animals may lead to, occurrence of antibiotics or their residues in milk, question was correctly answered by 110/162 (67.91%) respondents with significant difference with respect to educational levels. It was observed that 78.68% respondents adopted the best practice of not purchasing antibiotics without prescription. Overall, it was found that farmers’ perceptions of the use of antibiotics and their side effects are directly influenced by their education. Majority of the farmers were having significant knowledge regarding antibiotics, their usage and effects on consumers. They also had very positive attitude towards antibiotic usage but the practices were average in context of purchasing of antibiotics without prescription and consumption of milk from animals undergoing treatment. Therefore, education of farmers on food safety and antibiotic misuse becomes imperative for production of good quality animal origin foods.
Current scenario of milk production in the North-eastern states of India: Challenges and mitigation strategies to address milk shortfall
Authors: MILI BHABESH , DUTTA HARIPRIYA
Published: October 2024

Livestock husbandry is an inseparable part of the rural economy of Northeastern (NE) states. The local market demand for milk is expanding, indicating the need for intervention in dairy development. This study focussed on the current status of milk production and the challenges faced in improving dairy production. Secondary data were collected from the Livestock Census (2019) and Basic Animal Husbandry Statistics (2019 and 2023), Government of India. The results revealed that total milk production in the NE states was 1608.04 thousand tonnes in 2022-23, accounting for only 0.70% of the country’s milk production during the same year. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of milk in the NE states was 1.59%, significantly lower than that in India (3.83%). Among NE states, Tripura registered the highest CAGR in milk production (5.2%), followed by Meghalaya (3.51%), Assam (2.42%), and Sikkim (0.01%). The remaining NE states experienced negative growth. Except for Sikkim, the per capita milk availability in the NE states was considerably lower than that in India. Additionally, there were significant gaps in meeting milk requirements according to the ICMR recommendations in these states. Mizoram had the highest shortfall of milk (-81.78%), followed by Nagaland (-79.54%), Manipur (-79.45%), Meghalaya (-74.26%), Arunachal Pradesh (-73.13%), Assam (-74.02%), and Tripura (-48.85%) during 2022-Sikkim had a surplus milk production of 15.70%. Addressing this shortfall represents substantial market potential opportunity to expand the milk market across all NE states, thereby enhancing livelihoods, food security, and the socio-economic status of millions of people.

Published: October 2024

The monomorphic, non-cyclic, extracellular haemoprotozoan parasite, Trypanosoma evansi leads to Surra disease in domesticated animals. Currently, diminazene aceturate (DA) and isometamidium chloride (ISM) are the most used chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of Surra in animals. There is still little knowledge on the anti- trypanosomal mechanism of action of DA and ISM. The work addresses a significant gap in the understanding of the anti-typanosomal mechanism of DA and ISM by investigating their effects on mRNA expression profiles of 13 genes of T. evansi. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of DA and ISM for a pony isolate of T. evansi was estimated as 335.3 nM and 308.6 nM, respectively. Transcript analysis of DA and ISM exposed T. evansi population showed its effects on the metabolic machinery of T. evansi by down-regulating the mRNA expression of all the 13 targeted genes. However, ISM exposure did not affect mRNA expression of Expression site-associated genes 8 (ESAG8), oligopeptidase B and ornithine decarboxylase genes. The finding provides valuable insights into the molecular action of these drugs, which is crucial for developing more effective treatment of Surra disease. Further, comprehensive transcriptome and proteomic analysis could provide a deeper insight into precise molecular pathway of these medications against T. evansi.

How do Road Users in Mixed Traffic Perceive Risk Towards Each Other? A Comparative Study from a Developing Country
Authors: Zahra Khalisha , Sukor Nur Sabahiah Abdul
Published: October 2024

Many developing countries have high traffic accident rates due to the mixed traffic environment in which bicycles and motor vehicles travel in the same lanes. This paper examines the perceived risk among road users in mixed traffic. A questionnaire survey was used to obtain demographic information and self-reported risk perception among cyclists, motorcyclists, and drivers. Statistical analyses, including the T-test and ANOVA, were used to examine the relevant differences in risk assessment among the groups. The results demonstrate that the groups differ significantly in sociodemographic characteristics, driving experience, and travel characteristics. For self-reported perceived risk, the respondents’ perceptions of road surface conditions, the potential of daydreaming while operating a vehicle, and distraction from passengers or riding companions exhibited significant differences between the groups. The research findings could be beneficial as a guide for policymakers in planning road safety awareness to reduce risk in mixed traffic environments.

Published: October 2024

En el Cono sur de Sudamérica el Jasy Jatere Guasu (Dromococcyx phasianellus) es una especie considerada como rara y con muy pocos registros en la bibliografía tradicional o en plataformas en línea. La especie fue mencionada para la avifauna de Argentina en la primera década del siglo XX pero fue documentada 55 años después, en la provincia de Misiones, en base a pieles colectadas en la década de 1950, aunque este material fue dado a conocer recién a comienzos de la década de 1990. Recientemente fue confirmada su existencia en las provincias de Chaco, Formosa y Corrientes. Es una especie poco conocida en casi todos los aspectos de su historia natural, por ser críptica en su comportamiento y el hábitat donde ocurre. Las vocalizaciones son indispensables para detectarla, y esta actividad se desarrollaría principalmente en un corto período de días entre finales del invierno y la primera mitad de la primavera. Compilamos la escasa información histórica en Argentina, aportamos 36 localidades nuevas y discutimos aspectos de su comportamiento e historia natural.

Published: October 2024

A síndrome de Down é chamada também de trissomia do 21 que tem por definição uma alteração genética no cromossomo 21 sendo ele extra, o que determina uma condição física e mental específica. Seu diagnóstico clínico se dá pela presença de certos fenótipos específicos. Laboratorialmente o diagnóstico se faz por análise genética através do cariótipo. Uma condição frequente em portadores com síndrome de Down é a presença de cardiopatia congênita, em torno de 50% dos nascidos com síndrome de Down apresenta tal condição de defeito no coração. As malformações cardíacas têm origem no período embrionário nas primeiras semanas de gestação, sendo as mais frequentes a comunicação atrioventricular, a comunicação interventricular, a comunicação interatrial e a persistência do canal arterial. Cerca de 30 mil crianças nascidas no Brasil anualmente apresentam alguma alteração da estrutura ou da função cardíaca. Este dado se apresenta modificado quando nos restringimos a portadores de síndrome de Down, o qual, 40% a 60% dos nascidos estão associados á algum tipo de cardiopatia congênita, que condiciona a principal causa de mortalidade nesta população. A trissomia do 21 (T21), atinge cerca de 1 a cada 700 nascidos vivos, esse número é variável, quando associado a idade materna durante o período de gestação. Este estudo tem como objetivo determinar a prevalência de cardiopatias associada à Síndrome de Down nas crianças atendidas em um hospital de referência no Oeste Paulista, com diagnóstico confirmado através de cariótipo e ecocardiograma realizados no hospital do estudo, além elucidar prevalência das cardiopatias congênitas associadas ao sexo, idade materna. Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo transversal com análise de dados de prontuário e base de dados eletrônicos, no período de janeiro 2010 a março 2020.
Tramadol abuse and consumption disorders: Systematic Review
Authors: Saenz Daiana Anabel , Sabattini Analía Claudia
Published: October 2024

Introduction: tramadol hydrochloride is a weak opioid agonist that acts by preventing the reuptake of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and noradrenaline in the descending inhibitory neurons of the nervous system, thus modulating the perception of painful stimuli. After its introduction on the market, it was marketed as an effective analgesic, underestimating the risk of its use and abuse.
Objectives: to characterize the association between tramadol consumption and disorders caused by its abuse.
Method: to develop the research protocol and later prepare the systematic review, a search was carried out in PubMed, Google Scholar, TripDataBase, Elsevier, Brieflads ResearchGate, SciELO, selecting articles that provide information based on scientific literature that demonstrates the problems of tramadol consumption and abuse in studies carried out on different populations.
Results: the 7 publications (2004-2023) of selected studies report the relationship between tramadol consumption and its abuse and addiction in the populations selected in the research.
Conclusion: greater public awareness and development of health strategies that observe trends in tramadol consumption and the risks in cases of abuse and drug dependence are necessary

Published: October 2024

The American Association of Orthodontists explains interceptive orthodontic treatment as an orthodontic therapy that regulates and prevents major occlusal problems in permanent dentition. In Northern Ireland, 1 in 3 children up to the year 2000 benefited from interceptive orthodontics. In Ecuador, it has been proven that its application enhances the creation of a normal occlusal relationship. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of removable appliances used in interceptive orthodontics on malocclusions in children treated at the orthodontic clinics of the 7th and 8th levels of the San Gregorio University of Portoviejo from October 2022 to March 2023. Mixed-method project with a sample of 56 students applying interviews and surveys. Bibliographic collection was carried out through databases: Scielo, Elsevier, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The sample was distributed among students from clinics A and B of orthodontics who had undergone interceptive treatments from the 7th level, extending their controls to the 8th level. The most commonly employed appliances were identified as: Hawley plate without attachments 94.6% and Hawley with expander screw 55.40 %. A direct relationship was observed between premature changes in dental malocclusions and interceptive orthodontics: alignments of rotated teeth, palatal expansion, and mild crowding, as well as space preservation in prematurely extracted teeth. At the extraoral level, improvement in lip competence was perceived in 41.1% during periods longer than 3 months. The results suggest a positive influence of removable interceptive orthodontics in the clinics of the USGP

Published: October 2024

The snow leopard, Panthera uncia, is a flagship species of the mountainous region in South and Central Asia. In Nepal Himalayas, the species is distributed from 3000 to 6000 m. The present finding of a snow leopard on 23 January 2024 at an elevation of 146 m. in Charghare, Urlabari of Morang District was an unusual record. This is the first recorded case of a snow leopard at such a lower elevation. Fortunately, the leopard was rescued promptly and subsequently transferred to the Central Zoo, located in Jawalakhel, Lalitpur for further treatment. Following its rescue, two snow leopard scats were collected within a week from the enclosure. These scats were then analyzed using fecal analysis techniques to identify the prey hair remains in the scats. The analysis revealed that the leopard had consumed naur (Pseudoys nayaur) and unidentified rodent species, as evidence by the hair samples present in the scats. Additionally, several claws, likely from small mammals were also recorded which remain unidentified. This finding strongly suggests that the snow leopard had descended from its usual higher elevations. It is plausible that the leopard may have lost its way and ended up in densely populated human settlements. This has opened a new avenue for research in this area. There is now a pressing need for joint collaborative research to assess the corridors and connectivity crucial for the survival of these magnificent species.
AGING GRACEFULLY IN OSTEOARTHRITIS: IMPACT OF COMORBIDITIES
Authors: Georgiev Tsvetoslav , Dimitrov Stoimen , Kabakchieva Plamena
Published: October 2024

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder, often complicated by comorbid conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndromes, and mental health issues. These comorbidities significantly impact the progression of OA and the effectiveness of its management, posing challenges for comprehensive patient care.
Objectives: This review examines the relationship between OA and its common comorbidities, focusing on cardiovascular diseases, metabolic conditions, and mood disorders. We also explore the impact of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments in these patients, emphasizing the importance of integrated care strategies.
Methods: Data from multiple studies were analyzed to assess the association between OA and comorbid conditions. The studies examined mortality risk, cardiovascular incidents, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, obesity, and mood disorders, while considering the effects of various OA treatment modalities, particularly non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Results: Cardiovascular comorbidities, including coronary heart disease, are significantly linked to OA, with functional limitations such as impaired mobility being major contributors to increased cardiovascular risks and mortality. NSAIDs, commonly prescribed for OA, present substantial cardiovascular and renal risks, complicating their use in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions. Metabolic comorbidities, particularly obesity and diabetes, are highly prevalent in OA patients and are associated with reduced quality of life and exacerbation of OA symptoms. Furthermore, mood disorders like depression and anxiety are common among OA patients, leading to a vicious cycle of pain and psychological distress that worsens functional outcomes.
Conclusions: OA is closely related to various comorbidities, necessitating a holistic, multimodal approach to treatment. Beyond pharmacologic interventions, lifestyle changes, psychosocial support, and careful management of comorbid conditions are essential for improving outcomes in OA patients.
The Dualistic Reality of Path to Progress for Indonesian Youths

Published: October 2024

Indonesia, with over 100 million active workforces, faces unique challenges in youth progression. Path to progress, in various forms of socio-economic dimensions, is crucial for society with an enormous size of youths population. This “large demand” for progression is now colliding with two forces: the digital technology revolution and increasing trends of nepotism. Indonesia, nor other countries, have facing this unique situation. Hence, a “cookie-cutter” approach for past problems or for other societies with no similarity in terms of socio-economic settings, cultural norms and identity, and size of demography will present out-of-date solutions, or even creating new problems. This paper is part of a broader research to provide an inclusive framework in understanding and navigating social complexity. This paper is a starting point for showing a construction of social phenomenon through the lens of inclusive framework. This paper explores the dualistic reality that constrains Indonesian youth: the entrenched power of "orang dalam" (insiders) and the magnetic allure of virtual fame. Through a comprehensive literature review and synthesis, this study examines the co-existence and convergence of these pathways through the intercultural lense. We find that not only the dual pathways co-exist, but they also alarmingly converging. These dual pathways have become the primary, yet limited, spectrum of opportunities, overshadowing meritocracy and competency. Incorporating an intercultural understanding enabling us to construct the interplay between both pathways. An inclusive framework and approach will support an effective reform for fostering merit-based pathways to progress, without diminishing Indonesia’s cultural identity.
The Scene of the Council Hall: the Storyline and the Structure of the Grand Final Scene in the Second Edition of Verdi’s Opera Simon Boccanegra
Authors:   St. Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory, Logunova Anastasia A.
Published: October 2024

The comparison of different authorial redactions of operas presents one of the through themes of world Verdi studies. The opera Simon Boccanegra holds a unique position, since the second version of the opera was created by Verdi almost a quarter of a century following the first. The depth of the changes, first of all, in the final scene of the first act, for which a new interpretation of the content was found is stipulated by such a temporal distance. Also important is the fact that the edition of Simon Boccanegra became the first large-scale collaborative work of Verdi and Arrigo Boito. In the two versions of the opera, the interconnection between the storyline and the structural laws is examined in the context of the general evolution of Verdi’s pivotal final scenes. In the original version, the composer still followed the conventional traditions, having created the most conservatively structured scene of that kind of all of his works from the 1850s. In the version of 1881, the final scene was transformed into one of the boldest and most original mass scenes in Verdi’s music. While initially the introduction of the episode missing in the play by Antonio García Gutiérrez (the festivities in honor of the anniversary of Simon Boccanegra having been elected as the doge of Genoa) was stipulated by the tradition of the mass grand final scene, the typical structure of which was in many ways “prompted” the scenario, in the second redaction, already the storyline and the verbal text of the scene of the Council session predetermined its musical-dramaturgical structure. However, even in this innovative final scene, Verdi does not abandon certain attributes of the typical structure. The result was a paradoxically organic combination of tradition and innovation of the scene in the Council Hall, which has become one of the pinnacles of the combined artistic work of the outstanding musician and the playwright.
Between a Fairy Play and an Opera: Razryv-trava (Rip-grass) by Evgeny Goslavsky and Alexander Schaefer at the Maly Theater (1901)
Authors:   State Institute for Art Studies, Naumov Alexander V.
Published: October 2024

The production of Evgeny Goslavsky’s magic fairy tale carried out by Aleksandr Lensky with his students and colleagues in his repertory company of the Maly Theater presented a producer’s experiment, a combination of varieties of several theatrical genres within the limits of one performance. The narrative of the play was based on the fantastic motives of folkloristic epos, which required the use of the typical means of a 19th century stage fairy play. On the other hand, the storyline and the language appealed to a poetic style of symbolist and pre-expressionist dramaturgy in the context of which the customary visual effects and machinery appeared as naïve archaic effects. Great expectations in the sphere of synthesis were exerted on Alexander Nikolayevich Schaefer, a composer who was specially invited to St. Petersburg, a graduate of the Conservatory, a chapel master of the Panayev Theater, who had already composed two of his own operas. The complexity of the musical task was in the subservience of the work to the producer’s artistic vision, simultaneously with the application of a maximal amount of professional equipment. What was especially helpful, in the first place, was a knowledge of the fairytale musical scores of Rimsky-Korsakov and Lyadov and, moreover, the ability to adapt to the modest means of the theater’s orchestra. The musical score preserved at the Russian National Museum of Music is variegated in terms of the instrumentation in each of the numbers and is not devoid of imitative qualities. While marking the musical potentials of the play and the production, the reviewers expressed their disappointment regarding the insufficient amount of freedom granted to the composer. Nonetheless, it could hardly have been otherwise. The failure of Razryv-trava [Rip-grass] symbolically marked the instance of a farewell to the old theatrical style and its harsh constraints of genre; the measure of the admissible freedom for the composer, the boundary beyond which the “performance with music” becomes closely interlocked with opera and ballet have yet to be ascertained.

El análisis jurídico de las garantías procesales y la ejecución coactiva en la protección del debido proceso en el sistema legal ecuatoriano revela problemáticas significativas. Este estudio se enfoca en identificar vulneraciones a la seguridad jurídica, la tutela judicial efectiva y el debido proceso en el procedimiento coactivo regulado por el Código Orgánico Administrativo (COA) de Ecuador. El COA permite al Estado hacer efectivas las obligaciones pecuniarias de los ciudadanos, pero debe hacerlo respetando principios legales fundamentales. Una preocupación central es la falta de notificación adecuada, esencial para que las partes involucradas puedan defender sus derechos. Esta deficiencia puede llevar a situaciones de indefensión.

Las estrategias metodológicas en el aprendizaje del inglés en estudiantes de nivel elemental en la Provincia de Santa Elena, abordan la brecha entre la demanda de habilidades en inglés y los resultados educativos actuales. La investigación se apoya en teorías educativas como la Teoría del Aprendizaje Social de Bandura, la competencia comunicativa de Hymes, las Inteligencias Múltiples de Gardner, y la teoría constructivista de Vygotsky. Utilizando un enfoque mixto, el estudio combina métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos para evaluar el impacto de distintas estrategias. Se aplicaron fichas de satisfacción a los estudiantes y encuestas a docentes del proyecto para identificar las metodologías aplicadas y su impacto. Los hallazgos destacan la eficacia de metodologías como el Método de Respuesta Física Total (TPR), el Enfoque Comunicativo y el Aprendizaje Basado en Juegos, que promueven una interacción auténtica y un aprendizaje dinámico. Además, se enfatiza el papel crucial de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) en la enseñanza, facilitando el acceso a materiales innovadores y promoviendo el aprendizaje autónomo. La investigación concluye que adaptar las estrategias metodológicas a las necesidades específicas de los estudiantes y utilizar efectivamente las TIC puede superar barreras socioeconómicas y culturales, mejorando significativamente el aprendizaje del inglés.

Published: October 2024

When a researcher comprehends the research, they can develop research methods because the research needs to adhere to scientific principles. Because of this matter, a methodical scientific approach is required to guarantee that the study can be reaffirmed by other researchers. Moreover, the descriptive qualitative method has become popular due to its less reliance on numerical values or metrics for variable measurement. The aim of this research is to provide a general review of the literature on descriptive qualitative research methods. The researcher can determine that qualitative descriptive research is a descriptively described research method that employs qualitative data based on the findings of the research. Analyzing events, phenomena, or social conditions is a common use for this kind of descriptive qualitative research. Furthermore, qualitative research does not rely on numerical measurements for its research object, nor does it employ statistical methods to test elaborative characteristics. Its application allows for the combination of different data collection techniques, data analysis, instrument creation, and other research stages commonly used in qualitative and descriptive research methodologies.

Published: October 2024

Quality assurance has been a regulatory obligation in Cambodian colleges since 2003, yet it remains a relatively new idea. There is no official quality-management structure at the systemic level, and little attention has been devoted to this in the higher education sector. This study seeks to identify the internal quality elements that influence employability and quality improvement in higher education. The study uses a quantitative approach for measurement, with 200 accurate structured questionnaires sent to the public. Inferential statistics were used to do quantitative data analysis. Inferential statistics of data were presented using regression analysis and multiple regressions. This study found that leadership, academic staff, physical facilities, student evaluation, and teamwork all had a favorable impact on quality improvement. Mission approach and curriculum do not appear to have statistically meaningful effects on quality improvement.  Furthermore, the study found a weak positive association between the quality of higher education and employability in higher education. The current study aims to investigate how internal quality improvement influences graduate employability and helps to the growth of private institutions in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The article represents the results of a retrospective analysis of surgical interventions for TB verification, timing and complications in patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) on renal replacement therapy for CKD and kidney transplant  recipients. The tactics for TB treatment administration is described. The research has established that in most cases (63.6%) complex microbiological and histological studies of resection samples are the most informative for TB verification in patients with stage 5 CKD. Irrespective of drug resistance patterns, patients with stage 5 CKD need personalized TB treatment regimens, predominantly containing second-line drugs. The main reason for personalization of TB treatment regimens for patients with stage 5 CKD was contraindications for TB drugs administration due to the underlying disease (63.6%). Lethal outcomes (27.3%) or complications of TB process (18.2%) in patients with stage 5 CKD were only due to the long diagnostic process (more than one month) resulting in untimely administration of TB drugs.
