Published: September 2022

Land fires are national and international disasters that cause crucial environmental problems and are of local and global concern. This research was conducted to determine the mapping of the factors that affect land fires in a media frame that can be used for disaster mitigation so that the impact of fires can be minimized in the future. In addition, with mitigation, it is hoped that fires can be reduced, namely through restoration programs, including wetting, revegetation and community economic revitalization. This study uses time series data from 2012-2021 and uses the framing analysis method and content analysis. The results of the study show that the mapping of factors that affect land fires in the research area from several media from September 2019 to June 2021 is a factor of human activity and natural factors. The dominant human activities causing fires in the research area are land clearing for agriculture and settlements, land preparation, illegal logging, and lack of public awareness of the dangers of fire. The natural factors that dominate causing fires in the research area are the dry season, not residential areas.
Some characterizations of frames in ℓ²(I; H) and topological applications
Authors: El Idrissi Nizar , Kabbaj Samir , Moalige Brahim
Published: September 2022

We propose in this article some characterizations of the notion of frame in ℓ²(I; H). The first one is general, and depends on a procedure of inserting a family of vectors instead of x in the definition of a frame. This allows us to define the analysis, synthesis and frame operator on the space ℓ²(I; H) instead of H. The second one is specific to ℓ² (I; Ck) and relate it to the freeness of the finite set of components of the frame. The third one concerns normalised tight frames in ℓ²(I; Ck). Afterwards, we give an example of a frame in ℓ²(I; C²) using another sufficient condition in dimension 2. We conclude with some topological applications of these characterizations.
Low-Cost ECG Analyzing System
Authors: Verma Saurav , Dharmesh Prof.
Published: September 2022

As we are aware of the fact that a fully functional and a healthy heart is a key for a living being to remain alive. In order to monitor the proper functioning of the heart the primitive method of Electrocardiogram (ECG) can be adopted, which keeps the beats in check. The state of having an irregular heartbeat is known as Arrhythmia. The types of Arrhythmia can be apparent based on the factors that cause it. ECG signals consist of ‘PQRST’ waves. To identify the types of Arrhythmia it is vital to analyse the PQRST wave. In order to avoid fatality and to provide immediate medical assistance the ECG of the patient should be analyzed in real time. The project makes use of the AD8232 sensor alongside its interfacing with Arduino Nano to detect ECG signals. Arduino in this case is not only used as an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) but also as a Sampler. Using Java APIs and Windowing Algorithm the intervals of the PQRST wave is thoroughly analyzed using Novel windowing algorithm. To conduct further analysis and detect the abnormalities in the captured waves it is compared with the standard ECG signals of a healthy person. The final results are shown on the system as well as on the cloud interface to improve the QoS in the healthcare system. The paper thus aims at reducing the overall treatment cost by introducing a low cost ECG Analysis System.

Authors: Mawarni Sari
Published: September 2022

In the daily practice of Islamic teachings, it is found that some hadiths of unknown quality circulate among the general public and are used as references to educational institutions. The Book of Morals by Adnan Yahya Lubis is one of the works that contains traditions without mentioning the chain of transmission, but has been used as a reference in Islamic boarding schools and other educational institutions. Therefore, a study of the quality of the traditions in the book needs to be done academically, so that it can be seen whether the traditions contained in the book are of maqbul or mardud quality. This research is a literature study, data collection is done through takhrij hadith and analyzed through the jarh wa ta'dil science approach. The results showed that the majority of the hadith studied were narrated by Imam Ahmad, Ali, al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, al-Darimi, Imam Bukhari, Imam Muslim, al-Nasa'i, Imam Malik, Abu Dawud. Of the five samples of hadith examined for the quality of the sanad, one quality hadith is authentic from Imam Ahmad's history, one is hasan quality from Tirmidhi's history, two hadiths are of da'if quality from the path of Imam Ahmad and from the path of Ibn Majah, and one is qualified mawdu' from the history of Ali. It can be concluded that the hadiths in the Moral Lesson book are of maqbul quality and some are mardud. Dalam pengamalan ajaran Islam sehari-hari, ditemukan beberapa hadis yang tidak diketahui kualitasnya beredar di kalangan masyarakat umum dan dijadikan rujukan pada lemabag-lembaga pendidikan. Kitab Pelajaran Akhlak karangan Adnan Yahya Lubis adalah salah satu karya yang memuat hadis-hadis tanpa menyebut sanad periwayatannya, akan tetapi telah dijadikan rujukan di pesantren dan lembaga pendidikan lainnya. Oleh karena itu, kajian terhadap kualitas hadis-hadis dalam kitab tersebut perlu dilakukan secara akademis, sehingga dapat dilihat apakah hadis-hadis yang dimuat dalam kitab tersebut berkualitas maqbul atau mardud. Penelitian ini bersifat kajian kepustakaan, pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui takhrij hadis dan dianalisis memalui pendekatan ilmu jarh wa ta’dil.

Zinaida Gippius and Gender: Performativity, Parody, Transformation of Sex
Authors:   University of California at Berkeley, Matich Olga B.
Published: September 2022

The article considers the subjectness of Zinaida Gippius in relation to the performativity of gender and sex, in part from the perspective of Judith Butler’s theory in Gender Trouble (1990), including of parody as a subversive device, based on the destabilization of the socio-symbolic binary of gender. These questions are discussed in the context of Gippius’s erotic theory and her life-creating assertions regarding eros and sexual identity in her poetry as well as life practices, in which the poet often assumes an ambivalent and paradoxical position. In conjunction with these topics the essay considers her poetic images based on metaphors of traditional women’s work: thread, weaving, and reweaving.

Published: September 2022

On the basis of printed materials in Russian, part of the Merezhkovskys’ private library in Paris, a few biographical facts about Zinaida Gippius are specified, alongside dating the foundation of the aforementioned library. Thus, the article contributes to the study of the Russian-language part of D.S. Merezhkovsky and Z.N. Gippius’ Paris library. Of particular value to researchers of Russia abroad as a special phenomenon and Gippius’ works of the émigré period are her notes on the margins, allowing to reconstruct her reflection of certain literary facts. The article also restores the history of some entries in the Merezhkovskys’ home library. The study of library entries allows to clarify and establish the sources Gippius used for a short story about the Men-of-God sect He Has Descended (1907), the articles Bread of Life (1901) and Infatuation (1904) as well as the poems On Faith and Naked Thoughts (1902). On the basis of D.S. Merezhkovsky’s notes important additions to the creative history and interpretation of his novel Peter and Alexis from the Christ and the Antichrist trilogy, as well as the study L. Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, are made. The final conclusion reflects the particular importance of the Merezhkovskys’ library in Paris, its composition and the exact time of its formation for the study of Gippius’ works, considering a small number of her own testimonies about her creative process.

Published: September 2022

The prevalence of cancer in Indonesia has increased by 8.8 percent in the last two years (2018 and 2020) in terms of adding new cases and mortality. Because of therefor cancer treatment becomes important in reducing the high number of additional new cases and mortality due to cancer patients. Intensive cancer treatment is by surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs used for cancer treatment include herbal plant-based cancer drugs (Cancer Fit) and cisplatin its buy from online shop. This study aims to compare the toxicity of herbal drugs (Cancer fit) with cisplatin, a combination of BSA nanoparticles and folic acid as anticancer candidates. The research method is through the synthesis of nanoparticles with the desolvation method, then characterization is carried out using XRD and FT-IR tests. After that proceed to the toxicity test with the BSLT method. The results obtained from XRD analysis on BSA and folic acid nanoparticles from cisplatin (As-NP-BSA-CP) showed a peak of 34.45 while BSA and folic acid nanoparticles from herbal medicine (As-NP-BSA-Oh) obtained a peak of 22.77. The purpose of XRD analysis was to determine the crystalline characteristics of the synthesized nanoparticles and to analyze the crystalline index. FT-IR analysis on (As-NP-BSA-CP) showed that there are functional groups O-H alcohol, C-H, C-C, NO2 that play a role in the synthesis of nanoparticles. Meanwhile, (As-NP-BSA-Oh) showed that the functional groups were C-H alkene, C-O alcohol, and C-N amine/amide. The toxicity level of As-NP-BSA-CP LC50 is 69.14 ppm while the toxicity level of As-NP-BSA-Oh LC50 is 44.14 ppm. Nanoparticles consisting of a combination of bovine serum albumin (BSA), folic acid and cisplatin drugs or herbal drugs can be used as candidates for anticancer drugs.

Authors: Benešová Klára , Fürstová Eva , Nikolai Tomáš
Published: September 2022

Cystic fibrosis (CF) and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) are chronic
pulmonary conditions. In this review we focus on neuropsychological
aspects of CF and PCD in children. Since studies conducted on children
with asthma, sleep disturbed breathing (SBD), and studies on animal
models describe specific cognitive impairments and suggest that
intermittent hypoxia might be the pathophysiological mechanism. Main
question of this systematic review is following: “Is neuropsychological
functioning of children with CF and PCD specific?”. The database
MedlineComplete was searched during September 2021 for each condition
using specified key word combinations. We included studies in English,
dealing only with pediatric population and papers published in academic
journals within the last 10 years (2011-2021). We excluded case reports
and studies using non-valid psychological methods or focusing on
specific socio-economic populations. Applying these criteria, we
acquired 5 studies in CF and 3 studies in PCD, out of them one study
examined the association between cognitive impairment and oxygen
desaturation levels. Five studies were scored high, and three studies
were scored moderate level of evidence according to PRISMA and COCHRANE
quality criteria. It can be concluded that the overall IQ of CF and PCD
pediatric patients remains intact. However, impairments in specific
cognitive functions, e.g., attention, memory or executive function have
been described. Number of studies exploring neuropsychological
functioning, especially in association with somatic aspects, in CF and
PCD patients is not robust and further investigation is needed.

Introduction: Brain tumors in children are the main cause of cancer
related death in the pediatric population. Brainstem tumors incidence
comprises 10.9% of all brain tumors having the Pediatric Diffuse
Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas (DIPG) a fatal prognosis. Some countries have
developed a national and international register database, to
characterize their population. This study provides a retrospective
population-based data to describe the epidemiology of children with DIPG
in México from 2001-2021, and assesses the proposed prognostic factors
previously described for survival outcome. Methods: Health Institutions
from México were invited to fill in a retrospective registry of DIPG
patients. Epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic, histopathologic and
treatment variables were described. Fisher exact test was used to
compare long, and short-term survivors and overall survival was
estimated using the Kaplan-Meier Method. Differences between survival
curves were evaluated using the Log-rank test and Cox proportional
hazards regression analysis. Results: One-hundred and ten patients were
included in the analysis. Median age at diagnosis was 7 years. Sixty
patients (54.5%) presented with symptoms in less than 6 months being
the most frequent ataxia (56.4%). Treatment was offered to 90 patients
(81.8%), overall survival at 160 weeks (4 years) was 11.4%, and 16
patients (14.5%) arrived at clinical centers to die. We found no
significant survival differences in any of the prognostic factors.
Conclusion: This study highlights the need to develop improvement
strategies to streamline healthcare processes and enhance quality of
care to strengthen our situational diagnosis in Mexico.
The Extremal Nature of Membrane Newton-Cartan Formulations with Exotic Supergravity Theories
Authors: Stoyanov Boris
Published: September 2022

We construct a non-relativistic limit of eleven and ten-dimensional supergravity theories from the point of view of the fundamental symmetries, the higher-dimensional effective action, and the equations of motion. This fundamental limit can only be realized in a supersymmetric way provided we impose by hand a set of geometric constraints, invariant under all the symmetries of the non-relativistic theory , that define a so-called Dilatation-invariant Superstring Newton-Cartan geometry and Membrane Newton-Cartan expansion. In order to obtain a finite fundamental limit, the field strength of the eleven-dimensional four-form is required to obey a transverse self-duality constraint, ultimately due to the presence of the Chern-Simons term in eleven dimensions. The present research consider a non-relativistic fundamental limit of the bosonic sector of eleven-dimensional supergravity, leading to a theory based on a Covariant Membrane Newton-Cartan Supergeometry. We further show that the Membrane Newton-Cartan theory can be embedded in the U-duality symmetric formulation of exceptional field theory, demonstrating that it shares the same exceptional Lie algebraic symmetries as the relativistic supergravity, and providing an alternative derivation of the extra Poisson equation.
The Extremal Higher Dimensional Constructions of Fundamental Brane-Antibrane Systems
Authors: Stoyanov Boris
Published: September 2022

We calculate the extremal higher dimensional effective actions of fundamental brane-antibrane systems elegantly presented in the theoretical framework of advanced membrane theory constructions. Detailed study of brane-antibrane systems reveals when brane separation is smaller than the superstring length scale, spectrum of this system has different tachyonic modes and interaction regimes in the moduli superspace. The higher dimensional effective actions should then include these modes because they are the most important ones which rule the extremal dynamics of the fundamental brane systems. In this regard, it has been shown that an effective action of Born-Infeld type proposed in the current literature can capture many properties of the decay of non-BPS Dp-branes in superstring and membrane theory. The effective actions of brane-antibrane systems in Types IIA and IIB superstring theories should be given by some extension of the DBI action and the WZ terms which include the tachyon field configurations. The DBI part may be given by the projection of the effective action of two non-BPS Dp-branes in Type IIB theory. We are interested in this paper in the appearance of tachyon, gauge field and the RR field in these extremal higher dimensional actions. Using the consistency of the present constructions, we have also found the first higher derivative corrections to the exceptional part of the extremal effective actions with brane-antibrane systems.
The Universal Constructions of Heterotic Vacua in Complex and Hermitian Moduli Superspaces
Authors: Stoyanov Boris
Published: September 2022

In the present article we construct universal representations of a heterotic vacua in the conditions of the complex structure and hermitian moduli spaces. We show that it agrees with the results that have recently been obtained from a ten-dimensional perspective where supersymmetric Minkowski solutions including the Bianchi identity correspond to an integrable holomorphic structure, with infinitesimal moduli calculated by its first cohomology. As has recently been noted, interplay of complex structure and bundle deformations through holomorphic and anomaly constraints can lead to fewer moduli than may have been expected. We derive a relation between the number of complex structure and bundle moduli removed from the low energy theory in this way, and give conditions for there to be no complex structure moduli or bundle moduli remaining in the low energy theory. The link between Yukawa couplings and obstruction theory is also briefly discussed.

Soil microorganisms are the main driving force in soil ecological and
biogeochemical processes, such as carbon mineralization, humus
formation, and nutrient cycles. Soil erosion may dramatically alter
microbial properties. However, it is still unclear how soil microbial
characteristics affected by soil erosion. In hilly areas, soil erosion
is highly attributed to topographic characteristics such as slope
position and slope gradient. Herein, we compared the soil microbial
characteristics between different slope gradients and positions in the
farmland in the typical black soil area of Northeast China. The relative
abundances of major microbial phyla are illustrated. Proteobacteria,
Acidobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Planctomycetes, and Actinobacteria
accounted for 83% of the total bacterial sequences, and Ascomycota,
Basidiomycota, and chytridiomycosis accounted for 78% of total fungal
sequences in the studied area. Microbial alpha-diversity (Bacteria and
Fungi) was similar among the slope gradients or slope positions. The
bacterial and fungal community composition was only affected by slope
gradient, which was significantly lower in the highest slope gradient
level than in others. This study suggests that slope gradient but not
slope gradient affecting microbial community composition in the cropland
of black soil region.
Synergies between mini-patches of plant communities and steady-stage alpine meadows on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Published: September 2022

Mini-patches are considered indicators of an ecosystem’s response to
interference, particularly those in alpine meadow ecosystems. Thus,
monitoring the characteristics of mini-patches can elucidate the
organization of an ecosystem’s components, the strategies it employs to
survive interference, and the mechanisms whereby it maintains stability.
In this research, we used multivariate statistical analysis methods to
investigate the characteristics of the plant community and the
micro-topography of mini-patches in alpine meadows on the Qinghai-Tibet
Plateau from August 2012 to August 2013. Our findings show that (1)
mini-patches were distributed in alpine meadows with different levels of
degradation and the effects of meteorological characteristics
(accumulated temperature above 0°C and accumulation of precipitation)
and geographical characteristics (altitude, longitude, and latitude)
contributed less than 20% to their distribution and characteristics;
(2) alpine meadows maintained aboveground biomass within a certain range
under a relative larger range of grazing intensity, illustrating their
ability to regulate community structure and components under various
intensities of disturbance and showing that alpine degradation could
itself counteract grazing disturbance; and (3) overgrazing is the main
driver of multi-steady stage coexistence in alpine meadows, as the
mini-patches that remain involved in plant community succession
function, and as a source of germplasm in the plant community regime
shift under different grazing intensities damaged alpine meadows.

Making Sense of Ego Depletion: The Replication Crisis, A Path Forward, and Lessons for Accounting Researchers
Authors: Hurley Patrick J.
Published: September 2022

Ego depletion, an influential social psychology theory that has been applied in auditing research, is currently in crisis following unsuccessful attempts to replicate the phenomenon. I summarize the questions surrounding ego depletion as a phenomenon and the strength model of self-control as its theoretical explanation. Existing evidence suggests that depletion is a real phenomenon but that its effect is likely overstated in prior literature. However, it seems that the strength model is not the best theoretical explanation for depletion. To provide a path forward to continue investigating this phenomenon, I describe four alternative theories from prior literature. Highlighting motivation as a common thread in these theories, I then propose a new theory that views ego depletion as transient cognitive fatigue. Finally, I discuss opportunities for future research in auditing, best practices for the design of these studies, and meta-lessons that accounting researchers can take from crises in psychology research.
Ethical and Governance Challenges in Population Biobanking: the case of the global Anti-Doping Administration & Management System
Authors:   , Thompson Rachel C.
Published: September 2022

This study is an ethical analysis of the governance and regulatory dimensions of biobanking with specific reference to the Anti-Doping Administration Management System (ADAMS) of the global regulator of anti-doping in sports, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The study focuses on four key ethico-governance issues: (i) consent; (ii) benefit-sharing; (iii) harmonization of ethics and governance; and (iv) conditions for the secondary research uses of data originally collected for doping control purposes. It is argued that the consent process prior to data collection, storage and analysis is problematic, since athletes may not refuse the request to provide data sought by anti-doping authorities without forfeiting their eligibility to compete. The process requires simultaneous permission for research and testing which creates ambiguity, compounded by the unequal relationship between athletes and WADA. A range of alternative models are explored and a case is made for an approach that combines broad consent with iterative, or ‘reflexive’ governance and stakeholder involvement including education around research. Furthermore, ethical issues remain concerning governance and regulation for population research and use of data more generally between legal jurisdictions and within diverse populations. It is also argued that WADA’s claim to harmonization through its operational methods, regulation and governance, is not sufficiently well-defined outside of specific legal uses and is therefore too blunt a tool for ethical governance in global sport contexts. This thesis proposes reforms to existing WADA processes including consent processes and moves toward more reflexive governance frameworks that allow contextual nuance and iterative development, respecting differing needs within a shared structure. Specific recommendations are made to enhance accountability for potential secondary uses of ADAMS data for research. A distinction is drawn between anti-doping and broader biomedical research in developing ethically justifiable pathways that reduce the potential for coercion and empower athletes as contributors and potential beneficiaries.

Introduction: Traumatic tympanic membrane (TM) perforation is a commonly encountered otological condition with consequent hearing impairment and potentials for more grievous complications. We aim to establish the prevalence, sex distribution, laterality and aetiological factors associated with traumatic TM perforation in our locality

Materials and Method: This is a 10 Year retrospective study involving patients who were managed for traumatic TM perforations at ENT outpatient clinic of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, Anambra State.

Results: A total of 186 patients were managed for traumatic TM perforation involving 190 ears. The prevalence was 4.9%; 66.1% were males, 33.9% females giving a male to female ratio of 2:1 while age ranges from 1-68 years (mean± SD was 22.23± 15years. Left ear was involved in 54.3% of the cases, right ear in 43.5% and both ears in 2.2%. The commonest cause of traumatic TM perforation was Assaults (58.1%) of various kinds; domestic violence was the commonest, accounting for 22% of all the assault cases followed by assaults from security men (15.1%), then, slap by school teachers, prefects and senior students (10.2%). Mob actions and attacks by Robbers constituted 10.2%. Fifteen percent (15%) of the cases resulted from ear cleaning with cotton bud (10.2%), broom stick (3.2%) and metallic objects (2.2%). Sports related injuries accounted for 2.7% of the cases. Various forms of accidents (8.1%) such as road traffic accidents (1.1%), accidents from work place (3.2%) and fireworks (1.6%) were recorded.

Conclusion: The predominance of slap as the major cause of TM perforation resulting from assaults shows how this condition is caused by avoidable circumstances. Every opportunity should be explored to educate the populace on the sequelae of such indiscriminate outburst of anger.

Published: September 2022

Lipomas are the most frequent benign neoplasms of mesenchymal origin, and they mostly occur in various anatomical sites, including the palate, lip, buccal mucosa and vestibule, tongue, and floor of the mouth. Lipomas have a low incidence between 1 to 4% of benign oral cavity lesions. The clinical presentation of lipomas is generally characterized as a neoformation with well-demarcated borders. In this clinical case report, a 66-year-old female patient presented with pain and an inflamed region in the oral cavity. In intraoral clinical examination, a neoformation of 1 centimeter in diameter was observed and located in the jugal mucosa of the right side of the oral cavity. Furthermore, an excisional biopsy was chosen as the treatment method, and a postoperative histopathological study was conducted. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for preventing recurrence in patients with oral lipomas.

Different quality parameters such as physiological weight loss, decay loss, color and overall acceptability score, percentage of marketability, moisture content, total solid content, ash content, protein content, pH, titratable acidity, and vitamin C content were examined. The results showed that the vitamin C, pH content reduction rate is comparatively lower in the case of hybrid guava stored in perforated polythene packaged at refrigeration temperature compared to other treatments. An increase in titratable acidity content was recorded lowest in the case of deshi variety packaged with polythene stored at refrigeration temperature whereas hybrid variety packaged with perforated polythene stored at room temperature showed a higher rate of increase. Physiological weight loss and decay loss were recorded lowest for the sample packaged with a perforated polythene bag under the refrigerated condition while the control sample stored at normal room temperature showed the highest rate. Marketability of perforated polythene packaged fruits was recorded highest when that of the control one under normal room temperature was recorded the lowest. Performances of perforated polythene packaging system under the refrigerated temperature may be recommended for the longest shelf life and the highest quality of guava.

This research considers two growth models; asymptotic growth model and logistic growth model. Both models were compared to establish a better model for modelling and prediction based on a Chemist data on the percentage concentration of isomers versus time for each Isomerization of α-Pinene at 189.50C. Results from the growth curve shows a non-linear relationship between the response (time of isomerization) and the independent variables (percentage of concentration) for all the four isomers considered. Based on the four isomers four different quadratic regressions of second-order were fitted. The problem of the initial parameters was addressed by second-order regression techniques since the models considered have three parameters to be estimated before the iterative approach was used. Estimation of parameters was done using modified version of the Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm in Gretl statistical software. The results from both models were compared based on Aikaike Information Criteri (AIC), Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC), Mean Squared Error (MSE) and R-square. The Asymptotic Growth Model was identified to be a more adequate model for modelling and predicting growth patterns for three isomers (Dipentene, Pyronene and Dimer) while logistic growth model was seen to be a better model for predicting growth patterns of one isomer (Allo-Ocimene). This study will go a long way in directing Chemists and researchers in that field in choosing the appropriate model for their research.

Published: September 2022

Blood flow in stenosed human arteries in the presence of sodium alginate nanoparticles is simulated. Effect of sodium alginate (SA) nanoparticles on velocity, flow rate and resistive impedance to blood flow in stenosed human arteries is studied. The equations governing blood flow are discretized using finite differences. The MATLAB software is used to simulate the discretized equations. Presence of nanoparticles is observed to influence velocity, flow rate and impedance to blood flow. Resistance to flow is observed to be less in the presence of nanoparticles. This nanoparticle drug delivery may be useful for patients having cardiovascular diseases.

In the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, hyperechogenic regions in the fetal abdomen can be used to identify meconium peritonitis (MP). According to studies on neonates, MP affects 1 in every 35,000 live births. The presence of an intrauterine ileal rupture causes a sterile chemical reaction that causes meconium peritonitis. The creation of fluid results in ascites, fibrosis, calcification, and cyst formation as a secondary inflammatory reaction. This process has four different outcomes, culminating in four types of meconium peritonitis: fibre adhesive, cystic, diffuse (diffuse), and healing. Below, we describe one case of fetal meconium peritonitis.

Introduction: Of all the fractures that can occur in human body, one of the most lethal is femoral fracture. Treatment of femoral fracture can be divided into two, which is operative and non-operative. External fixation, intramedullary nailing, locked intramedullary nail, and plate and screw are the options for operative treatment. Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF-BB) have essential role of wound healing, due to positive effect of upregulating proliferation of fibroblast, synthesize of extracellular matrix, and revascularization. In this study we aimed to see the effect of PDGF-BB fracture healing process, type I and III collagen levels in the Wistar rats femoral shaft treated with osteotomy and intramedullary nailing.

Methods: This study is an experimental randomized post-control only to animal with femoral shaft osteotomy and intramedullary wire installation in Wistar Rats that added PDGF-BB intrafracture, to the collected data then analyzed using Pearson test in SPSS 25.

Results: Based on the independent t test result, we found that callus formation, type I and III collagen expression on the femur shaft of wistar rats that has been administered PDGF-BB intrafracture had a statistically significant result compared to those who had not been administered PDGF-BB intrafracture with P<0.05.

Conclusion: Mean Allen score, type I collagen and type III collagen levels of shaft femur in Wistar rats group that been osteotomized and attached by intramedullary wire added with PDGF-BB is higher compared to non PDGF-BB.

Evaluation of cage placement on bird’s health was done to access the efficiency of the conventional battery cages as a housing system for laying hens in the highly demanding industry in tropical countries. Experimental birds were placed in House A in the lateral sixth northern battery cage (AN6L) beside cooling pads and medial northern battery cage (ANM) horizontally at the middle lower row in both sides-left and right. Each battery raw was divided into: first third beside pad (1W) consists of 130 cages; second third in middle (2W) which also consists of 130 cages and last third beside fans (3W) consists of 128 cages. The total birds in the two batteries were about four thousand and five hundred birds. In house B, experimental birds were placed in the lateral first northern battery cage (BN1L) beside northern pad, medial northern battery cage (BNM) in middle and lateral sixth northern battery cage (BN6L) beside southern pad vertically and horizontally from bottom in both sides (left and right). Each battery raw was divided into: First third beside pad (1W) consists of 520 cages; second third in middle (2W) consists also of 520 cages and last third beside fans (3W) beside fans consists of 512 cages, the total birds in the three batteries were about thirty thousand birds. Mortality and pathological changes were used in this study to evaluate the health status and welfare of Lohmann LSL Lite laying hens at different ages. Mortality of 4500 Lohmann LSL Lite laying hens at age 80 wks was recorded for twenty days in one lateral and one medial battery in House A; and it was recorded for 30000 Lohmann LSL Lite laying hens at age 57 wks for forty three days in two lateral and one medial battery in House B. The mortality in the two laying flocks at age 80 wks and 57 wks, in the first 20 days, was found to be 7.4% and 1.6% respectively. In the next 23 days in House B, it was found to be 1.7%. The mortality of the two flocks was significantly different. In the three positions- 1W, 2W, 3W- the mortality at a lateral (AN6L) and a medial (ANM) batteries in showed significant difference in the lateral ones of House A. The mortality in the three positions 1W, 2W, 3W of two laterals (BN1L and BN6L) and one medial (BNM) battery showed significant difference between the different positions of both lateral and medial batteries. Comparing house A and house B lateral and medial batteries for the mortality in the same position, 1W, 2W or 3W, revealed significant difference in 1W and 2W, whereas position 3W was found to be insignificantly different, and no significant difference between the lateral or medial batteries as a whole was detected when comparing them in the two houses. Post mortem examination of nine birds at age 80wks and fourteen birds at age 57wks revealed that the only possible effect of cage placement on the internal infection may be exerted by the direction of air current caused by the working exhaust fans.
