Published: October 2022

In modern market conditions, trade plays a complex and very important role in economic and social development. In Kosovo, trade and market issues are gaining momentum with the beginning of access to the single European market. At the same time, the first modern strategic guidelines in the field of market development and trade policy were created. The trade development strategies of the Republic of Kosovo were the basis for the preparation and adoption of the Law on Trade. Since 2007, the Law on Trade, as an umbrella law, has been regulating the field of trade and markets in the Republic of Kosovo in a modern and comprehensive manner. However, after its adoption, it is necessary to have a timely and accelerated implementation of the created solutions. It is also necessary to have a determined commitment to supplementing and amending as well as changes to this act in the future, as it is a very dynamic field that requires careful monitoring and a full understanding of the changes taking place in the environment.

More than 13 million people die each year as a result of environmental contaminants, and it is estimated that up to 24% of diseases are brought on by avoidable environmental exposures. Different environmental chemicals were discovered in the blood and urine of the US population during a screening sponsored by the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention, revealing the level of human exposure to environmental chemicals. A growing body of research indicates that environmental toxins may affect gene expression in ways that affect the development of diseases. The first stages of gene transcription need dynamic chromatin remodeling, which is accomplished by changing how accessible gene promoters and regulatory regions are. These regulatory procedures involve epigenetic factors such as DNA methylation, histone changes, and microRNAs (miRNAs), which in turn regulate gene expression. Exposure to various environmental toxins has been found to create changes in these epigenetic markers, and some of them have been connected to a variety of diseases, along with their causes, treatments, and preventative measures.

The purpose of this work was to determine level of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in aquatic organisms from crude oil polluted rivers in Warri, Delta State (Ekpan and Ogunu communities) and non-oil exploration site (Agbarho). The aquatic animals (crabs, fish, and crayfish) collected were washed, oven dried separately and homogenized in a blender and stored for analysis. Three replicates of each sample collected were used for analysis. PAHs were determined by Gas Chromatography (GC) with Flame Ionization Detector (FID) while heavy metal contents were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The results revealed that the aquatic organisms from Ogunu and Ekpan had high levels of heavy metals and PAHs. The heavy metal contents such as Cadmium, Zinc, Chromium, Mercury, Copper, and Lead of the samples from Ogunu were found to be higher compared to those of Agbarho and Ekpan at p<0.05. The highest levels of PAHs in crabs were found in samples from Agbarho and Ekpan with little significant difference. In fish sample, the highest levels of PAHs were found in samples from Ogunu (0.0244 mg/kg) while the least was found in fish samples from Agbarho (0.014 mg/kg). PAHs levels in crayfish samples was higher in samples from Ogunu. The study generally suggests that samples from Ekpan and Ogunu communities are polluted compared to those from Agbarho with some certain exceptions. The order of pollution was found to be in the following order Ogunu>Ekpan>Agbarho.

Authors: Hashem Mohamed Elarabawy , Kamil Sukron , Omar Abdulfattah
Published: October 2022

This article intends to examine whether al-Ṭarīq's novel, The Search is a philosophical symbolic novel, especially whether it contains symbols of God/spirituality and social symbols of contemporary Egyptian problems. The article builds on a qualitative research method based on a literature review and Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. The novel is also studied based on other scientific literature studies, not only literary, but religious and social. The article finds that al-Ṭarīq's novel, The Search is Mahfouz's philosophical symbolic novel. Saber's father figure is a symbol of God/spirituality, with much evidence in the novel that shows this. Among them, in Arabic, God is called sayyed, the name of Saber's father; moreover his father's name is Sayyed, which means the lord of the lords, and his last name is ar-Rahi>mi>, the name of God, meaning Most Merciful. In addition, the novel reflects/on and symbolizes Egypt's social problems, both politically, economically, and culturally. Saber, among other things, reflects a corrupt Egyptian character raised by his pimp mother and Karimah, the woman he loves who exploits Saber's innocence to do evil (kill), a symbol of Western colonialism and other local influences, the power of local capitalism and complicated bureaucracy. Other elements explored in the novel include contemporary Egyptian psychological problems, represented in dream material, and figures who have divided personalities.

The Kindergarten class size is above the required average of 25-30 pupils. Moreover, the overall results also disclosed an evident performance level in various developmental domains of the pupils. Only placement among siblings on the profile variables was identified as a significant predictor of the developmental domain performance of the pupils. Further, the study found no association between class size and Kindergarten pupils’ developmental domains. The researchers suggest that the department should maintain the standard size of the learners in every Kindergarten class. Furthermore, the teachers should monitor learners’ cognitive development and other physical activities even when they are studying only with their parents/guardians.

World Health Organization documented SARS-CoV-2 as a public health concern in March 2020. India has the world's fastest growing outbreak of COVID-19 in absolute numbers according to WHO, reporting more than 3.01 crore infections as of June 24, 2021.COVID-19 is considered as a Janapadoddhwamsa vikara (~epidemic disease) where role of Ayurveda Intervention have been advocated to combat the epidemic. By adopting the Ayurveda principles, hope to recover from high risk co-morbidity of COVID-19 is expected. A 45-year-oldmale, COVID-19 positive, was not responding from his condition even after hospitalization and all necessary allopathic interventions till 15th day of admission to the hospital. He was not able to breathe normally and was on oxygen support. D-Dimer was raised and High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) was 15/25. In the same Hospital, after applying the Ayurveda intervention, clinical recovery was observed with improved D-Dimer and HRCT. Within three days of Ayurveda interventions, the symptoms were reduced gradually and oxygen support was reduced. It was the case in which, even after prolonged stay in hospital with oxygen support, where patient did not found any recovery, was able to get complete recovery with Ayurveda interventions. Ayurveda interventions can contribute in such reverse COVID-19 manifestation with respiratory involvement.

Introduction: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways. Inflammation in airways leads to hypersensitivity and airway obstruction which is responsible for the symptoms of asthma like wheezing, dyspnea, chest tightness and cough that aggravates in the morning. The prevalence ranges from 1.1 to 9.9% in adults. Systemic therapy and inhalational therapy comprising of bronchodilators and steroids are the two major treatment options. Aims & objectives: To assess physicians' knowledge, attitude, and practise toward asthma inhaler devices and inhalation techniques, and classify physician’s attitudes as either poor or adequate. Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted in Qassim, Saudi Arabia among healthcare providers for a duration of 6 months. Practicing physicians in the three major cities in Qassim were included in the study while non-practicing physicians and those practicing in the small cities and peripheries were excluded. Data collection was done by using a predesigned self-reported online questionnaire consisting of 22 items under 3 major sections- demography, knowledge and practice of physicians. Templates were generated in MS Excel sheet and analysis of data was done using SPSS software. Chi square test was the test of significance used and p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: Metered-dose inhaler (MDI) with a spacer (56, 62.2%) was the most preferred device among dry powder inhalers (18, 20%) and nebulization solution (16, 17.8%). Most of the physicians responded correctly that the first and foremost step in correct MDI inhalation was shaking the device (67, 74.4%). More than three-fifths (57, 63.3%) of physicians claimed to have taught the caregivers on each visit to use an inhaler. The increasing age of the physician was found to be associated with a better understanding, positive attitude and good practice. A significant difference was seen based on the nationality (p 0.003) and the speciality of the physician (p 0.012) in their understanding of inhaled corticosteroids. Conclusion: Older male physicians and a family physician rather than a general physician were found to have better knowledge and a positive attitude toward advising patients regarding inhalers.

Published: October 2022

Background: Bovine Leptospirosis is a zoonotic, infectious and cosmopolitan disease of worldwide distribution, caused by the spirochete Leptospira spp., which has been diagnosed in humans, domestic mammals such as dogs, sheep, goats, swine, horses, cattle and wild animals. It is considered a significant cause of economic losses in livestock because it causes infertility, abortion and reduced milk production.
Aim: The main objective was to establish the prevalence and the main risk factors associated with Leptospira spp. in cattle in the municipality of Sotaquirá, Colombia.
Methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study with simple random sampling was carried out. One thousand cattle of Ayrshire, Holstein, Jersey, Normande, Zebu and crossbred breeds were sampled. Blood samples were taken by coccygeal venipuncture and processed by microscopic agglutination technique (MAT); animals were considered positive when titers were ≥ 1:100. The data obtained were processed with the statistical program EpiInfo®.
Results: A general apparent prevalence (AP) of 16% (160/1000) was established, where the crossbreeds (20.5% AP), the 2 - 4 years age group (17% AP), and the serovars L. interrogans serogroup Pomona (5.1%) and L. interrogans serogroup Sjroe serovar Hardjo (3.4%) presented the highest seropositivity. The variables barnyard, artificial insemination, and use of certified semen were identified as protective factors against the disease, while diarrhea was considered a risk factor.
Conclusion: The prevalence in this study is within the range of those reported at the national level; however, it is essential to establish plans to control and prevent the disease.

Authors: lardone elena , Giaiot Veronica , Franci Paolo
Published: October 2022

Background: Priapism refers to prolonged erection unrelated to sexual stimulation, with severe sequelae unless treated. In humans, it is a rare complication associated with epidural or spinal opioid administration. Its pathophysiology is unclear. This is the first report of priapism following neuraxial anaesthesia in dog.
Case Description: An intrathecal morphine injection (30 mcg/kg) at L5-L6 for postoperative analgesia was given at the end of surgery for multiple cutaneous mastocytoma of the abdomen and left axillary lymphadenectomy. Painless penile erection occurred 2 hours later and lasted 6 hours, before spontaneously resolving 7 to 8 hours after the injection. No pain or other adverse events (e.g., nausea, urinary retention, itching) were recorded. Recovery was complete without treatment.
Conclusion: Painless, self-resolving priapism is a rare complication associated with intrathecal morphine injection in dogs.

Lignite flyash is one of the major solid waste products coal based thermal power stations of India. In these waste used in cement industries, cement bricks industries, civil construction work and agricultural fields etc. The environmental problems generated by large-scale production of flyash in coal based power stations. This waste alternative using vermicomposting of flyash as good sources of nutrients. The availability of many nutrients is very low in flyash; available ranges of such nutrients must to be increase the effectiveness of cowdund and flyash as a soil amendment. In our experiment, we assessed the possibility of increasing total iron content (mg/Kg), total copper content (mg/Kg), total manganese (mg/Kg), total zinc (mg/Kg) and C/N ratio micronutrients in flyash through vermicomposting. Cowdung and fly ash was mixed with different trios at 1:1, 2:1, and 3:1 ratios (weight by weight). After the findings the 3:1 cow dung fly ash was the suitable combination for earthworm activity, the freshly acclamatized earthworms were inoculated in 15 gms/kg for Lampito mauritii for 10 -50 days. The concentration of above said micronutrient was found to increase in the earthworm-treated samples of cowdung and flyash combinations compared with the control flyash alone. The worm worked composts (vermicomposts) and worm unworked composts (control) considerable amounts of total iron, total copper, total manganese, total zinc and reduction of C/N ratio micronutrients from cowdung flyash into more soluble forms and thus resulted in increased the nutrients in the vermicompost. Among different combinations of cowdung and flyash, nutrient availability was significantly higher in the 3:1 cowdung to flyash treatment compared with the other treatments.

Published: October 2022

The study was conducted at Bahri North, Khartoum State, Sudan, during the year 2021. The study was aiming at detection of bovine, caprine and ovine brucellosis in North Bahri. A total of 1050 bovine, 2081 caprine and 870 ovine blood samples were collected. Sera were separated from blood samples and kept at -20o at the laboratory of College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Bahri. Sera were tested using Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) and modified Rose Bengal Plate Test (mRBPT) for detection of Brucella antibodies. By using RBPT for testing the sera for brucellosis, the prevalence of bovine brucellosis was 0.95, caprine brucellosis 11.24% and ovine brucellosis 1.14%. By using mRBPT for testing the sera for brucellosis, the prevalence of bovine brucellosis was 1.42, caprine brucellosis 13.83% and ovine brucellosis 1.95%. mRBPT is more sensitive than RBPT in detection of Brucella antibodies. Investigation of more animals covering the whole state, using of other serological and immunological test and vaccination of animals are recommended.
