Authors: Selvi Vaithiyanathan , Arivoli Subramanian , Tennyson Samuel
Published: May 2023

Seaweed based pesticides exhibit mosquitocidal properties and are found to be effective, biodegradable and non-toxic to non-target organisms. Sargassum wightii Greville butanol and ethanol extracts were tested for its toxicity against the second and third instar larvae of Anopheles stephensi Liston in the present study. One hundred percent larval mortality was observed in the second instar of An. stephensi by the ethanol extract at the highest concentration of 500 mg/ l after 24 hours of exposure. The LC50 values of S. wightii butanol and ethanol extracts were 107.03 and 89.67 mg/ l, against the second instar of An. stephensi; and 132.56 and 92.00 mg/ l against the third instar of An. stephensi respectively. Phytochemical analysis of S. wightii extracts revealed presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, fatty acids, flavonoids, phenols, proteins, tannins and terpenes. Larval mortality of second and third instars of An. stephensi can be attributed to the major compounds present in S. wightii revealed by GC-MS analysis, viz., ethyl salicylate, methyl salicylate, ethyl palmitate, palmitic acid, oleic acid, phytolin and diethyl phthalate. The present study accentuates S. wightii butanol and ethanol extracts to cause lethal effects to the second and third instar larvae of An. stephensi.

Consequences of fiscal optimism for fiscal planning and fiscal discipline: Some insights from India
Authors: Dixit Vikas
Published: May 2023

This paper attempts to empirically analyse the impact of India’s medium term perspective on its fiscal management, and their subsequent implications for subnational Governments’ fiscal situation. Using graphical analysis, exploratory statistics and regression techniques, this paper endeavours to investigate the impact of revenue forecast error on Centre’s primary balance, and in turn its impact on States’ fiscal imbalance. The illustrative empirical exercises of this paper reveal that optimistic medium term macro-fiscal forecasting has been a predominant feature of India’s fiscal policy ever since it adopted fiscal discipline. The forecast errors are found to have serious consequences for India’s primary balance and debt accumulation pronouncing even stronger over longer horizons. The forecast-error-induced primary balance at the Centre leads to a significant deterioration in the quality of fiscal deficit of State Governments. Financial irregularity emerges as an important determinant of forecast error. This paper, though illustrative in nature, provides useful insights for better fiscal planning and management in the era of fiscal consolidation in India.

Published: May 2023

The World Health Organization has classified the coronavirus disease outbreak as a worldwide pandemic as a result of the COVID-19 expansion. According to medical professionals, individuals with strong immunity often outlive infections more frequently than those with poor immunity. The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted the need for novel approaches to treating the illness and its symptoms. Natural products from plants are increasingly being seen favorably in comparison to synthetic ones in the fight against diseases. As a result, in order to avoid contracting any unanticipated illnesses, individuals must increase their immunity by eating more dietary supplements and by taking drugs that have immune-boosting properties. This review aimed to give a general overview of some traditional Sudanese foods and drinks that are rich in immune-boosting elements, and accordingly, they could be safely recommended as an adjuvant dietary supplement to improve the immune system's ability to fight such infections as COVID-19. Also, this review aims to bring attention to the fact that immune boosters may be found in natural sources, which will help pharmaceutical companies by taking some of the load off of them. Electronic databases, including Google Scholar, Scopus, and the Web of Science, were searched for relevant material. The selected articles underwent independent eligibility and information extraction reviews. The review focused on certain traditional Sudanese herbs and their derivatives that are rich in immune-stimulating vitamins and minerals and therefore could possibly be recommended as immune-boosting dietary supplements to help fight COVID-19. This review highlights the fact that the pharmaceutical sector, especially community and hospital pharmacists, could play a vital role in supporting the healthcare system by encouraging their communities to add plants and their products that are rich in immune-boosting vitamins and minerals to their diet.

Com o advento da Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) em 2020, associada a uma crescente utilização de dados via internet, através de transações comerciais ou simplesmente com o objetivo de entretenimento, o cuidado com incidentes, vazamentos e o uso indevido desses dados deve ser uma preocupação constante dos agentes de tratamento. Em que pese tal lei deixar clara as responsabilidades dos agentes, o que ainda não está concludente para a doutrina são as formas de responsabilidade no âmbito civil. As discussões iniciam-se a partir dos artigos 42 e 43 da referida lei, que para a doutrina trazem entendimentos divergentes e acabam, de certa forma, abrindo um leque de possibilidades aos titulares de dados quando do ingresso com demandas no judiciário. Neste artigo, o objetivo é trazer alguns posicionamentos da doutrina no que tange às responsabilidades objetiva e subjetiva, com o intuito de colocar o tema em pauta, posto que de suma importância frente a realidade virtual em que a sociedade se encontra. Ademais, com o amadurecimento da lei e as regras futuras que serão implementadas, o judiciário será cada vez mais demandado a respeito do tema e, portanto, surge a necessidade de se ter entendimentos robustos para que a tutela jurisdicional seja prestada de forma a beneficiar toda a sociedade.

Corrupção e anticorrupção: linguagem e validade da norma penal à luz da teoria da ação significativa de Vives Antón
Authors: Peruzzo Júnior Léo , Rutte Israel , Trindade Moisés Limas da , Tortato Carla Juliana
Published: May 2023

Este artigo pretende mostrar, a partir da filosofia da linguagem de Wittgenstein e da teoria da ação significativa de S. Vives Antón, de que modo o discurso jurídico-penal acerca da corrupção não é um fenômeno empiricamente descritivo, mas, ao contrário, conceitual. Neste sentido, argumenta-se que se há uma narrativa metodológica sobre a corrupção, então, também deve ser verdadeiro pensar que há uma determinação conceitual que permite a manutenção do significado na avaliação da possibilidade ou não de sua consumação. Mas, efetivamente, poder-se-ia tomar o significado do termo corrupção independentemente de uma prática como sustenta a teoria da ação significativa de V. Antón? Haveria um binômio entre o conteúdo conceitual e os fenômenos que são por este descritos e abarcados? Ou, ao contrário, o discurso jurídico-penal continuaria a repetir o jargão culturalista ilustrado pela hipótese de que a melhor fonte para entender a corrupção deveriam ser as histórias produzidas por aquelas mesmas pessoas que tiveram o olhar mais próximo do fenômeno e, talvez, até mesmo foram cúmplices de ações corruptas? Mostra-se, por fim, que a corrupção engendra não apenas um problema lógico-dedutivo ao Direito Penal, mas também a pressuposição que a práxis está de um lado e, a norma, de outro, conforme concebe Vives Antón ao afirmar que a ação penal deve ser vista a partir de seu significado.
Studi Kasus: Analisis Kegagalan Sambungan Las Pipa CRA Clad Penyalur Gas 12 inch Akibat Terjadinya Perubahan Fasa dan Terbentuknya Cacat Las pada Saat Konstruksi
Authors: Widyanto Bambang
Published: May 2023

Suatu sistim perpipaan penyalur gas telah dibangun dengan mempergunakan material baja karbon API 5LX60, PSL2 yang dilapis dengan baja tahan karat 316L atau disebut juga sebagai Corrosion Resistance Alloy (CRA) dibagian dalamnya (CRA Clad Pipe). Mengingat bahwa suatu sistim penyalur yang dibangun akan mencapai ukuran yang cukup panjang, maka sudah barang tentu perlu dilakukan penyambungan dengan mempergunakan proses las. Pelaksanaan penyambungan ini harus dilakukan dengan sangat hati-hati mengingat jenis pipa yang dipergunakan merupakan pipa baja yang dilapis oleh bahan yang berbeda yaitu mempergunakan bahan baja tahan karat 316L yang memiliki sifat dan kemampuan las yang berbeda dengan baja. Demikian pula material lasan yang dipergunakan adalah baja tahan karat 309L. Dalam kondisi normal, hasil pengelasan tidak akan menunjukkan terjadinya perubahan struktur yang ekstrim, dimana logam-logam tersebut akan tersambung dengan baik dan tidak ada perubahan sifat dasar dari logam-logam yang disambung baik itu bahan baja karbon sebagai bahan pipanya, bahan baja pelapis yang terbuat dari baja tahan karat 316L dan bahan lasan antara yang sering disebut sebagai buttering yang dalam hal ini mempergunakan bahan SS 309L. Tetapi pada kenyataannya suatu kegagalan berupa retakan, terjadi pada saat dilakukannya konstruksi sehingga perlu dilakukan suatu evaluasi terhadap kegagalan tersebut, sebagai bahan pembelajaran dan hasil evaluasi ini dapat dijadikan bahan untuk melakukan tindakan pencegahan agar kegagalan serupa tidak terulang lagi dikemudian hari. Metoda analisa yang dipakai dimulai dari pemeriksaan visual, pemeriksaan spesifikasi material dan komposisi kimia, pemeriksaan fraktografi, pemeriksaan metalografi mikro dan makro, pengukuran kekerasan, pemeriksaan dokumen seperti WPS dan WPQR. Dari pengamatan fraktografi dan metalografi ternyata terungkap adanya sambungan yang tidak sempurna yang disebut sebagai Lack of Fusion,dan adanya pembentukan fasa martensit yang berlebihan disertai adanya retakan mikro pada akar lasan. Dari hasil pengamatan maka dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa kegagalan terjadi karena adanya cacat lasan dan terjadinya retakan pada logam lasan akibat terbentuknya fasa martensit, yang saling berasosiasi untuk menghasilkan kegagalan final dari sambungan las.

Every industry should be aware about how their product quality are build. It began with the end in mind about a detail specification of the product, a quality attribute designed to the product profile, process and technology choice. Then it will initiate a requirement of the facility for those need. Pharmaceutical product is one in many manufacturing industries that need to be carefully manage in term of product quality and the consideration that it can be harm to the consumer. The impact can also come from a requirement specification of its facility1. To protect the drugs consumer, we can use the term ‘patient safety’ then, authority made a regulation that became a corridor to lead the industry on how the good manufacturing practices should be conducted. Regulator put it in the terminology: GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices). But they give only general statement about what a ‘good manufacturing’ is. Most of the time it needs detail technical explanation. Especially for the engineers’ perspective. Some pharmaceutical engineering professional organization try to describe the minimum requirement should be designed for pharmaceutical facility purpose. A Baseline. But the baseline sometimes is not a clear bold line, most of the time, in very detail technical decision, it can be a wide grey area. How high we put our requirement level above baseline correlate with how expensive the cost will be.
Solidaritas 6.0 Melampaui Jebakan Pendapatan Menengah: Apakah Ukurannya hanya Pendapatan per Kapita?
Authors: Suharto Djoko
Published: May 2023

Salah satu tolok ukur kesejahteraan dan kemajuan suatu bangsa dapat dilihat dari pendapatan per kapita penduduknya. Mengacu pada proyeksi dari Bappenas dan batas pendapatan kelas menengah dari Bank Dunia (12.500 US Dollar) terlihat bahwa mayoritas penduduk Indonesia masih berada dalam kategori penduduk Kelas Menengah. Simulasi Bappenas memproyeksikan Indonesia bisa masuk Pendapatan Tinggi pada kurun waktu 2035 - 2040. Proyeksi ini hampir sama dengan perhitungan yang dilakukan oleh Suharto et al. (2016) menggunakan "perkiraan teknik (engineering judgment)". Sedangkan proyeksi PricewaterhouseCoppers (PwC) memperlihatkan saat ini posisi pendapatan per kapita Indonesia sudah mendekati Pendapatan Tinggi. Berbagai tantangan infrastuktur, energi, politik, dan pendidikan tentu saja berkontribusi pada pemerataan pendapatan per kapita dan proyeksi-proyeksi ini diharapkan dapat dijadikan acuan bagi bangsa Indonesia ke depan untuk menghindari jebakan pendapatan Kelas Menengah (middle class trap).

Baja Hadfield memiliki sifat ketangguhan, keuletan, ketahanan impak, ketahanan terhadap aus dan memiliki work hardening yang sangat baik. Memiliki kandungan unsur karbon 1-1,4% dan mangan 11-14% berat, rasio kurang lebih 1:10. Potensi peningkatan kekuatan terhadap pengerasan regangan, dapat dilihat dari rentang kekuatan plastis yang lebar, kekuatan luluh 379 MPa dan kekuatan tarik 965 MPa. Pengerasan regangan baja Hadfield tergantung kepada proses pembebanan melalui mekanisme slip dislokasi, deformasi twinning, serta interaksi antara slip dan twinning. Kajian tentang high strain rate pada baja Hadfield menjadi topik yang cukup menarik dan relevan, meskipun telah banyak publikasi yang dihasilkan. Baja Hadfield yang memiliki kekerasan relatif rendah, mampu ditingkatkan nilai kekerasannya melalui rekayasa perlakuan panas dan deformasi plastis secara cepat. Beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi kekerasan baja Hadfield antara lain bahan paduan, perlakuan panas dan proses pengerasan regangan yang diberikan. Nitrogen sebagai penstabil austenit penting untuk pengerjaan dingin, kromium dan vanadium ditambahkan untuk meningkatkan kekerasan karena akan membentuk karbida, dan aluminum ditambahkan untuk meningkatkan ketahanan aus. Deformasi kecepatan regangan tinggi pada Hadfield memberikan peningkatan kekuatan lebih baik karena mekanisme twinning lebih dominan. Pengerasan regangan optimum oleh mekanisme twinning hanya dapat dicapai pada energi impak kritikal. Explosive hardening menghasilkan deformasi yang relatif kecil tetapi memberikan perubahan sifat mekanik yang signifikan.

Simple and efficient PID algorithm design method for controlling first order systems with a time delay
Authors: S. Soliman Mohamed
Published: May 2023

Many processes in industry are characterized by delay time or by slow aperiodic dynamics called lag behavior. In addition, many plants in the industry are described mathematically by higher order systems that are approximated with the lower order systems, most frequently such processes and systems are described mathematically as first-order-systems-with time-delay (FOSTD), also called first-order-plus-dead-time (FOPDT). The presence of time delays causes degradation and limitation of achieving desired performance, moreover, it can induce instability. In such cases, design of feedback control algorithm becomes difficult and tedious task. The present work suggests an efficient, simple, linear, and easy to apply design expressions for designing continuous PID (proportional-integral-derivative) control algorithm modes to control the behavior of FOPDT systems. The design expressions are intended to overcome negative effects of time delay presence, as well as, to simplify the control algorithm design process and help designer, in easy and simple way, to get system under control with acceptable system stability, medium fastness of response and without or with minimum possible overshoot, oscillation and error. For testing and evaluating the correctness, applicability and efficiency of the derived expressions, MATLAB/Simulink software was applied to develop refined software simulation model that simulates real life values and returns maximum needed numerical and graphical data for assessment process. In addition, various FOSTD systems’ types and forms were used in the simulation model, in particular, systems with small, medium and large time constants, DC gains, and time delay, unstable systems, systems with variable delay. Furthermore, to assess the efficiency of suggested design expressions, the resulted overall system response were compared with resulted responses when two design methods were applied; worldwide known Ziegler Nichols method and MATLAB/Simulink auto-tuned PID block. Analysis of numerical and graphical testing results, show that, The designed control algorithm applying the suggested expressions can, not only simplify the design process, but also, efficient for successful in getting system under control and improving controlling system performance, speeding up response, reduce overshoot, and minimize error, but also stabilize an unstable plants.

Published: May 2023

This research investigates and report petrological features and geochemical characteristics of igneous rocks in Ado-Ekiti, Southwestern Nigeria. Exhaustive geological fieldwork reveals Ado-Ekiti is underlain by migmatite-gneiss, quartzite, granite (porphyritic and fine-grained) and charnockite. Petrographic investigation revealed overwhelming presence of quartz, biotite and plagioclase in all the rocks while microcline and opaque minerals occur in subordinate amounts. Average SiO2 content in porphyritic granite (74.56 %) is marginally higher than charnockite (73.51%) and fine-grained granite (70.41%). These values correlate well with previous works in the study area and agrees with similar rocks in other parts of the country. Analytical results using Phillips Panalytical PW1480 X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer with Rhodium Tube as the X-ray source revealed the siliceous nature of the rocks. The binary plot (Na2O+K2O) vs SiO2 established the rocks are granitic with all the samples plotting within granite field. AFM ternary diagram shows the rock have calc-alkaline affinity. Geochemical classification by (Na2O + K2O-CaO) vs SiO2 diagram reveals the rocks are “Calc-alkalic and calcic”. The elevated K2O (average of 4.41%) in the data signaled High-K calc-alkaline type on K2O vs SiO2 binary diagram. Alumina Saturation Index (ASI) showed the rocks are metaluminous while Al2O3 / (Na2O + K2O) vs Al2O3/ (Na2O +K2O +CaO) plot suggest the rocks have mantle origin

Background: Obesity, overweight and elevated BMI are clinical features of PCOS, and between 40-80% of women with PCOS are reported to be overweight or obese. This study aimed to categorize values of patient anthropometric variables such as BMI with change in follicular sizes as determined by sonography following postCLOMID inducement therapy. Materials and Methods: This was an experimental cohort study carried out in some selected hospitals in Anambra State, Nigeria, from June 2018 to May 2022.Convenient sampling technique was adopted to select the subjects based on the inclusion criteria, which were women of child bearing age (18 to 45 years) for both groups. Confirmation of patients with PCOS was ascertained with the presence of polycystic ovaries in ultrasound. The ultrasound examinations and anthropometry measurements were carried out on each subject, and data such as BMI, follicular sizes before and post treatment were recorded. The obtained data were subjected to SPSS analysis using both descriptive and inferential statistical tools. Results: The mean values of the BMI of the participants in the experimental group before and after treatment with clomid were 25.69±5.99 kg/m2 , 25.92±5.55 kg/m2 respectively, while the mean BMI value for the control group was 23.09±3.41 kg/m2 .There were no statistically significant differences in body mass index, and maximal follicular size in women with failed and successful ovulation in the experimental group before treatment (p>0.05). There were statistically significant mean differences in the BMI (t= 8.75, p = 0.001) and follicular size (t= 2.04, p = 0.04) of participants in the experimental group after treatment with clomid. There were statistically significant mean differences in the BMI (t= 2.41, p = 0.02) and follicular size (t= 4.88, p = 0.001) of participants in the control group after treatment with clomid. Conclusion: There was higher ovulation failure rate among the overweight and obese subjects in both the experimental and control groups. Also significant increase in mean follicular sizes after clomid inducement in the experimental group was noted. Body mass index has significant negative impacts on ovulation.

Lived experiences from diverse contexts can be transformational in education. Learning science is intertwined with various experiences, which consequently strengthen the formation of a science concept, thereby increasing students' performance in school. Thus, this paper sought to explore the lived experiences of senior high school students in learning science. Based on this concept, the researchers employed the phenomenological technique of qualitative methodologies to collect complex data regarding students' experiences in science subjects in a blended learning environment and to grasp the phenomenon from their perspective. The study revealed four distinct themes in the students' lives: (1) varied experiences of students in learning the science subject during the pandemic, (2) challenges encountered, (3) coping strategies employed, and (4) resources needed in learning science. Based on the findings, the student's learning experiences were affected by the academic experience, motivation, preparedness, and support. The difficulties encountered by learners in learning science subjects during the new normal can be classified as personal, social, mental, and academic difficulties caused by the abrupt transition from face-to-face to blended learning. Teachers and parents are urged to assist the students, and educational resources must be well prepared. Students must also create new and productive study habits to face further endeavors in learning

Published: May 2023

The species richness of macrolichens in Mt. Sapinit, SitioDagulos, and MaramagBukidnon was investigated. The main objective of the study is to determine the species richness of macrolichens in the vicinity of Mt. Sapinit. Transect walk and quadrat sampling were carried out in the collection of macrolichens. The gathering and identification of specimens collected was based on standard taxonomical procedure. Results of the study revealed a total of 20 species classified into 7 genera and 13 families. The most family-rich species belong to the family Lobariaceae, and the least family-rich belong to Ramalinaceae, Collemataceae, and Dictyonemaceae. Most of the epiphytic macrolichens belong to the family Parmeliaceae, which dominates the entire montane forest. The distribution of macrolichens across the area occurs in the bark of the tree, logs and twigs, and in tree branches.Elevation also have impact to the growth of lichen species. Higher elevations appear to provide suitable condition for many lichen species to thrive. Thus, the need to preserve the forest ecosystem is essential in order to conserve the lichen communities.

The study investigated the macroscopic fungi in Laligan Falls Laligan, Valencia City, Bukidnon. Specifically, it aimed to determine the species richness of fungi in the study area; describe, classify, and identify the fungi species in relation to Family, Genera, and Species; and ascertain which species of fungi are have medicinal value. Quadrat methods were employed in the study. The researchers laid out a 20m x 20m quadrat plot on each side of the falls. A total of 37 species were collected and photo-documented. Of these 21 species were identified, belonging to Class Basidiomycetes and Class Ascomycetes, and 16 species are unidentified. Among the twenty-eight fungi species, 8 species have therapeutic potential. Further results show that the Polyporaceae family had the most species collected. Altitude greatly influences the distribution the fungi, with lower altitudes having fewer fungi than higher altitudes. To evaluate the species diversity, more field research must be scientifically studied in relation to the physical parameters and other vegetation types.

Insects account for about 80 percent of animal life on Earth. Distribution of some insects observed in moss cushions ecosystem was conducted at Cinchona Forest Reserve, Lantapan, and Bukidnon, Philippines. Insects are arthropods that inhabits in moss cushions with their associated bacteria, and fungi which provide nutrients for most fauna. The study aimed to determine insects associated with moss cushions in Cinchona Forest Reserve, Mt. Kitanglad, Lantapan,Bukidnon. The forest has an average elevation of 1,223 meters above sea level. Field sampling through opportunistic survey was employed by recording all the insects observed in moss cushions. Findings revealed a total of 12 families and 21 genera of insects which include the families of Formicidae, Curculionidae, Gryllidae, Blaberidae, Chrysomelidae, Tenebrionidae, Tetrigidae, Cicadelidae, Drosophilidae, Heteropterygidae, Porcellionidae, and Termitidae. Of these, the associated moss families for which insects were observed indicate a total of 7 families, 11 genera, and 18 species.Further, Bryofauna such as insects include organisms that live and eat almost the moss floral species. In tropical regions, numerous moss plant influenced the abundance and distribution of some insects such as the provision of a water refuge to protect from predators. Data suggests some specificity of bryofauna in Cinchona Forest Reserve.

Authors: S. Alzaidi Mohammed
Published: May 2023

Nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising multiple access scheme for 5G wireless networks. However, NOMA faces several challenges that still need to be solved optimally. Deep learning algorithms have been proposed as a potential solution to address these challenges. This review provides an overview of the use of deep learning algorithms to optimize NOMA performance in 5G networks. An investigation is conducted on how deep learning methods are applied in NOMA systems for resource allocation, channel estimation and detection, successive interference cancellation, and user clustering.They can learn optimal user clustering, optimal allocation, and interference alignment strategies, eventually boosting the network performance. In addition, deep learning algorithms can learn the complex relationships between the transmitted symbols and the received signal, leading to accurate detection of the superimposed signals. Opportunities and challenges in NOMA can be identified based on existing research showing how applying deep learning algorithms is better than conventional approaches. The main contribution of this review is to provide insights into the potential of deep learning algorithms to remarkably improve NOMA performance in 5G networks. This article is also a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners interested in using deep learning algorithms for NOMA in 5G networks.

Authors: Guserike Afner Synthia Ona
Published: May 2023

Sacha inchi is a creeping perennial herb plant that belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family. Sacha inchi, or Plukenetia volubilis is a perennial plant with large, oil-filled seeds. sacha inchi plants began to be widely cultivated. However, in practice it is still planted directly in the field, without going through the nursery first, so the quality of the plants produced varies greatly. Seeding is a process that determines the quality of the plants to be cultivated. Planting media is the media used to grow plants, where roots or roots will grow and develop. A good planting medium must meet requirements such as not containing pest and disease seeds, free of weeds, able to hold water. This study aims to see the effect of the mixture and to get the best mixture of organic matter that supports the growth of Sacha inchi seedlings. This research was conducted from June to August 2022. The research method used was a Randomized Block Design (RAK) with 5 treatments consisting of: Top soil : sand (A), Top soil : sand : burnt husks (B), Top soil : sand : goat manure (C), top soil : sand : bamboo leaves (D), top soil : sand : leftover crickets (E). Data analysis with F test and further test with BNT test level of 5%. Giving organic matter shows better growth than without giving organic matter. Mixture of top soil, sand, and crickets growing media showed optimal growth in number of leaves, number of perfectly opened leaves, widest leaf width, longest leaf length, plant height, fresh weight of plants, and fresh weight of roots.

Tanulmányukban a szerzők a neuronális ceroid lipofuszcinózis (NCL) klinikai képét vizsgálták nyolc beteg kapcsán. A tárolási betegségek emberekben és állatokban örökletes módon kialakuló kórformák, amelyek gyakran idegrendszeri tünetekkel járnak. A rendellenesség alapja egy specifikus enzim hiánya, vagy nem megfelelő működése, aminek következtében a kórformára jellemző anyagcseretermékek halmozódnak fel a sejten belül. A staffordshire terrierekben jelentkező neuronális ceroid lipofuszcinózis viszonylag gyakori képviselője ennek a betegség csoportnak. Míg a tárolási betegségek nagy része már gyakran fiatal korban, akár rögtön születés után megnyilvánul, addig az NCL-nél az első nyilvánvaló tünetek csak felnőttkorban jelennek meg lassan progrediáló mozgásinkoordinációs zavarok képében.
