Published: January 2024

A field study was conducted in the Nellore sheep breeding tract on growth parameters of 447 Nellore (jodipi) ram lambs, out of which 30 lambs were fed on traditional grazing (control) and 417 lambs on natural grazing along with nutrient supplementation (treated) i.e. feeding of balanced concentrate feed. Average initial body weight of the lambs under control group and treated group were 13.60 ± 0.58 kg and 13.38 ± 0.07 kg, respectively. After 90 days of rearing, lambs under treated group showed better growth rates with significantly (P < 0.01) heavier final average body weight (23.11±0.19 g) as compared to those of control group (22.05±0.11 kg). Growth studies revealed that ram lambs fed on natural grazing along with nutrient supplementation (treated) showed significantly higher average daily gain. Carcass studies also revealed that dressing percentage, cut up parts yield and by- products yield were also better in lambs under treated group compared to those of control group due to better nutritional status in supplemented lambs. This study was part of field demonstration trials to farmers on benefits of growing ram lambs to optimum weight and nutritional intervention for getting higher growth rate.

Published: January 2024

The selection of appropriate breeding strategies for achieving desired improvements in plant breeding necessitates a thorough understanding of the mechanism of gene expression implicated in the transmission of quantitative and biochemical characteristics. Line × tester study of 30 F1 hybrids obtained by crossing 13 parental lines was carried out to assess gene action and potence ratio of such traits in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) during rainy (kharif) seasons of 2021 and 2022 at research farm of Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh. Out of 22 traits, 20 indicated the preponderance of non-additive gene action and additive gene action for plant height and inter-nodal length. UHFO-6 and UHFO-9 were the best general combiners, whereas, UHFO-2 × Pusa Bhindi-5 and UHFO-10 × Hisar Unnat were the best specific combiners. For 20 traits, proportional contribution of lines was higher than the testers for total variance. Potence ratio indicated that majority of the traits in the hybrids had over dominance gene effect. Over dominance was expressed for pod length, pod diameter, number of pods per plant, average pod weight, and pod yield per plant, etc. To maximize the entire genetic potential of hybrids and parents with excellent per se performance, okra crop development initiatives must include heterosis, combining ability, proportionate contribution of genotypes and potence ratio.

Published: January 2024

The pursuit of creating safe and efficient pesticides remains an ongoing aspiration. Recently, the potential efficacy of metal nanoparticles against diverse phytopathogens has come to light. Commonly used methods, viz. chemical and physical means of nanoparticle synthesis are associated with a range of drawbacks. Fortunately, the biological synthesis method ensures safe and non-toxic nanoparticles. The present study was carried out during 2022–23 at ICAR- Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, which documented the successful synthesis of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) utilizing the supernatant of potent fungal biocontrol agents, viz. Trichoderma virens and Chaetomium globosum. The reduction in the size of copper was determined by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The change in colour of the reaction mixture confirmed the reduction in the size of particles. Characterization using TEM measured spherical CuNPs of the size range 8 to 100 nm depending on the CuSO4 concentration used. Furthermore, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) unveiled the presence of several functional groups that plays pivotal role in reducing and stabilizing particle size. The in vitro assay conclusively demonstrated the effectiveness of biosynthesized CuNPs, with significant inhibition at a concentration of 10 µg/ml in the case of Xanthomonas euvesicatoria and at 50 µg/ml in the case of Enterobacter cloacae. Our study marks the first instance of synthesizing CuNPs through the utilization of two aforesaid fungal species holding significant promise for antibacterial applications.

Published: January 2024

Background: Water pollution is one of the global issues right now due to ever increasing urbanization and industrialization. A perpetual contamination of water is causing a lot of health issues. District Okara, being ranked 23rd by population in Pakistan, is producing a lot of solid waste with improper waste management. The city dwellers used to dump or throw their waste in near passing water canal. So, there is a need to study the water quality of the canal to be considered safe for any consumption.  The current study was therefore planned to analyse the coliform content of water from Lower Bari Doab Canal, running in the radius of University of Okara.

Materials and Methods:  In autoclaved bottles, water sampled from different locations of the canal and processed for onsite physico-chemical parameters (temperature, conductivity, total dissolved solids and pH) using portable meters followed by coliform analysis employing presumptive test and spread plate method on nutrient agar in the laboratory settings.

Results: The study revealed that all the water sampled were moderately polluted, some of the samples showed high MPN index (1100+) and nutrient agar plates showed aberrant colonies of bacteria.

Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that the water in that specific area of canal is not much suitable for even irrigation though it is used for that purpose. Hence, there is a need to take serious measures to aware people about waste management and at larger scale there must be a proper dumping site for waste materials in this area.  

Key words: Coliforms, Conductivity, Physico chemical, Water pollution, Water quality.

Published: January 2024

Abstract Diabetic foot is the term used to describe the lesions that can occur in the diabetic patient´s foot. This paper focuses on a review of the state of the art about risk factors for ulceration and predictors of non-adherence to foot self-care behaviors, in patients with diabetes and diabetic foot. Literature consistently shows that diabetic foot ulcers are common in patients with diabetic foot and may culminate in a lower limb amputation. Several studies emphasize the difficulties of foot care adherence, identifying the associated sociodemographic and clinical risk factors as well as the individual, clinical, and health care predictors of adherence and non adherence. According to the review of the literature, interventions should be focused on promoting adherence to foot self-care behaviors in order to avoid ulceration, re-ulceration and amputation, taking into account the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Keywords: Diabetic foot ulcer, Adherence, Self-care behaviours, Amputation.

Abstract Theoretical integration of several psychological and neuropsychological domains is one of the foci of the applied neuropsychology and neuroscience fields. Personality and neurocognition are two different but related study fields. Nevertheless, a thorough explanatory theoretical model regarding these two domains is still missing in the literature. The present paper aims to provide some explanations as to why this integration may not be straightforward. First, some potential explanatory models are described. Second, the issue of the lack of convergent measures is described. Third, a proposal based on the development of self-report instruments is suggested. By highlighting the omission of a thorough integrative model of the relationship between neurocognition and personality we intend to spur the interest of researchers and clinicians to take a conceptual and integrative approach to this issue. Keywords: Neurocognitive Domains, Personality Traits, Low Convergent Measures, Assessment Instruments.

Objectives

To review the outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment of advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) outside clinical trials.

Study design

Retrospective observational study; review of patient records in fifteen Australian institutions.

Setting, participants

All Australian adults with locally advanced or metastatic CSCC not amenable to curative surgery or radiotherapy treated with ICIs, 5 May 2017 – 23 May 2022, through a cemiplimab compassionate access scheme (Therapeutic Goods Administration Special Access Scheme) or who personally covered the cost of pembrolizumab prior to the start of the access scheme.

Main outcome measures

Best overall response rate (ORR) according to standardised assessment criteria using the hierarchy: Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1), the modified World Health Organization clinical response criteria, and the Positron Emission Tomography Response Criteria (PERCIST 1.0); overall and progression‐free survival.

Results

A total of 286 people with advanced CSCC received ICI therapy during May 2017 – May 2022 (cemiplimab, 270; pembrolizumab, 16). Their median age was 75.2 years (range, 39.3–97.5 years) and 232 were men (81%); median follow‐up time was 12.2 months (interquartile range, 5.5–20.5 months). Eighty‐eight people (31%) were immunocompromised, 27 had autoimmune disease, and 59 of 277 (21%) had ECOG performance scores of 2 or 3. The ORR was 60% (166 of 278 evaluable patients): complete responses were recorded for 74 (27%) and partial responses for 92 patients (33%). Twelve‐month overall survival was 78% (95% confidence interval [CI], 72–83%); progression‐free survival was 65% (95% CI, 58–70%). Poorer ECOG performance status was associated with poorer overall survival (per unit: adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 3.0; 95% CI, 2.0–4.3) and progression‐free survival (aHR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.8–3.3), as was being immunocompromised (overall: aHR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.1–3.0; progression‐free: aHR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.2–2.7). Fifty‐five people (19%) reported immune‐related adverse events of grade 2 or higher; there were no treatment‐related deaths.

Conclusion

In our retrospective study, the effectiveness and toxicity of ICI therapy were similar to those determined in clinical trials. Our findings suggest that ICIs could be effective and well tolerated by people with advanced CSCC who are ineligible for clinical trials.
Efficiency Wage (and Slavery) Efficiency: in Theory and in Time
Authors: SACCAL Alessandro
Published: January 2024

The formal differentiation of (i) pain incentives from ordinary rewards, (ii) of effortful from careful production and (iii) of diligent from slothful workers under labor market imperfect competition ultimately suggests that the optimal menu of contracts associates inducements to production kinds following the preference triggered by slothful workers: effortful production with pain incentives and careful production with ordinary rewards. The efficiency of the efficiency wage as interpreted by the sociological theory is therefore discerned to arise under a particular production kind and so is that of slavery its dual (undoubtedly illicit). More broadly, the confusion of the two production kinds under market and state capitalism respectively contributes to the Phillips curve and price rigidity, in the misapplication of ordinary rewards to effortful production. State capitalism jurisprudentially eliminates the risks of dismissal and redundancy and thereby lastly causes effortful production to enter stagnation.
Consequence of Heterogeneous Economic Rents under the Maximum Degree Comfortability (MDC) based Procedure
Authors: HARASHIMA Taiji
Published: January 2024

If preferences of households are heterogeneous, there is no guarantee that a steady state exists other than corner solutions, and only the most advantaged household will eventually possess all the capital in the economy. This is also true if economic rents are obtained persistently and unevenly among households. I examine whether this is true even if households behave not on the basis of rational expectations but on the basis of keeping the most comfortable capital-wage ratio and show that there is no guarantee in this case as well.
Dollarization and Foreign Exchange Reserve: Debate on the Effectiveness of Monetary Policy in Democratic Republic of Congo
Authors: PINSHI Christian P.
Published: January 2024

The high degree of dollarization combined with low foreign exchange reserves obstruct the management of monetary policy. The debate is launched on the effectiveness of monetary policy in this context of dollarization and meager reserves. To restore the effectiveness of monetary policy in the Democratic Republic of Congo, we advocate for fiscal discipline (that is to say, eradicate fiscal dominance) that is constant and sustainable, a guarantee of sustainable macroeconomic stability. Monetary targeting should remain the adopted strategy until proven otherwise and the choice of a floating exchange rate regime is better for good macroeconomic management in the case of the Democratic Republic of Congo. However, changes in the nominal exchange rate should be implicitly included in the implementation of monetary policy.
Sartorial commemoration of Princess Yennenga through Wiyaala’s War Costume Mimicry
Authors: Navei Nyamawero
Published: January 2024

History is an invaluable reflective resource for progressive national development. In Africa, various studies have delved into the memory lane to identify and commemorate past heroic or iconic figures for their diverse contributions to shaping the destinies of societies and nations. However, such commemorative studies are inexhaustive, as many unsung heroic or iconic figures still abound. One such unsung heroic figure is Princess Yennenga. The current study sets out to sartorially commemorate Princess Yennenga’s iconography by delving into Wiyaala mimicry of Princess Yennenga’s war costume regalia for a teaser movie shot by Mothertongue in Ghana. It adopted the methodological blueprint of qualitative historical design, with Wiyaala as the principal and homogeneous respondent purposively sampled and interviewed. An in-depth historical and thematic analysis of primary and secondary data found Princess Yennenga to be a warrioress of northern Ghanaian origin and the emblematic founding mother of the Mossi Kingdom in Burkina Faso. It was also established that the materiality, accessories, and props that constituted Wiyaala’s dramatic mimicry of Yennenga’s war costume were locally self-constructed. The study concludes that the wild, dramatic character projected by Wiyaala through her self-constructed war costume symbolically reimaged Princess Yennenga’s warrioress identity and thereby contributes to commemorating Yennenga’s heroic legacies in the historical development of the Dagomba and Mossi Kingdoms of Ghana and Burkina Faso, respectively. It will, therefore, be plausible if similar sartorial commemorative studies are conducted on other unsung heroic/iconic figures to highlight the instrumentality of costume art in heroic and iconic identity construction.

Mutation Breeding: A Tool in Nutritional Improvement of Cassava
Authors: Ngozi Joan Amanze , Simon Peter Abah
Published: January 2024

Cassava is an important food security crop worldwide with a lot of unexploited potential. More than 60% of global production is used for human consumption, while lesser quantity is used in livestock and Pharmacia industries. Improvement through hybridization and selection have been exploited but is limited by inter-specific and intra generic crop boundary, irregular flowering and low spontaneous mutation rate which cannot be depended on considering the high demand on the crop. Induce mutations has continue to remain an alternative tool for cassava improvement. The cytology analysis carried on five cassava varieties using varying levels of colchicine showed that the mutagen has significant aberration effect at (p < 0.05), with a Mitotic Index (MI) of (132.14), an error in cell divisions as shown in the positive increase yield of both parents and progeny of the cassava varieties evaluated. An epidermal-polyploidy change induced includes laggard, bridges, fragments, stickiness, vagrant and crises-cross at various concentrations. A required aberration was observed in the result. This shows significant difference in the mitotic index in a decreasing order with an increase in level of mutagen (132.14, 65.21 and 42.60) respectively. This result showed the mutagenic potentialities of colchicine in cassava induction and improvement.

Authors: Novario Raffaele
Published: January 2024

Ultrasound techniques have become a gold standard, both as a complement to conventional diagnostic methodologies and as a technique of choice. This has led to the need for quality control procedures, as happened in other sectors of diagnostic imaging. The aim of this chapter is to propose a series of physical parameters related to quality, both in B-mode and in Doppler velocimetry that could be measured with the use of commercial or “homemade” phantoms, following a protocol that considers both innovative proposals and indications published in the literature. In order to do this the different parameters are described and their physical meaning is discussed. Tests on different equipment are performed to evaluate the robustness of the protocol and the chosen parameters. The main results obtained with high clinical significance are presented. This allows both the acceptability of the equipment from a clinical ultrasound point of view and the consistency of diagnostic performance over time.

Authors: Ghoffari Moh. Isbat Alfan , Mukit Abdul
Published: January 2024

The author's research aims to explain the construction of the Ifthār  tradition in Sergang Village and the reception of hadiths that underlie the emergence of the Ifthār  tradition, as well as other hadiths related to the Ifthār  tradition.

The research method to be employed is field research, conducted by directly interviewing practitioners (insiders), the general public (outsiders), and community leaders in order to achieve comprehensive research. The research will utilize the theory proposed by Peter L. Berger, using the triad dialectic theory, namely: externalization, objectification, and internalization.

The results of the research show that the transmission of the Ifthār  tradition has been ongoing for over a century, starting from the third caretaker of Raudlatus Syabab Islamic Boarding School, K.H. Syarqowi. There are two main hadiths that serve as the foundation for this tradition, namely the hadith about Ifthār  and the hadith about the virtue of giving charity. Initially, there were no pre-Ifthār  rituals among the villagers in Sergang Village. However, over time, the alumni of Pesantren Pajung, who are scattered in various regions, began organizing Ifthār  in their own areas, adding several pre-Ifthār  rituals. As for the transformation of the hadiths in the Ifthār  tradition in Sergang Village, it has undergone five periods, influenced by influential figures from the past until the present era.

Variation as Christian Identity Marker in Egypt: A Sociolinguistic Study
Authors: Refaat Adel
Published: January 2024

This study explores how variation marks the religious identity of the Egyptian Christians and helps in describing the present sociolinguistic landscape in Egypt. Data for this study has been collected from Christian friends, students, and neighbors as well as Christian T.V. programs and videos.
Data has shown significant lexical and phonological differences in expressing common religious concepts, ritual expressions, and names. These differences, which depend mainly on synonyms, paraphrasing, loanwords, and pronunciation, constitute a shibboleth in Egypt. The study has revealed that not only is variation regional or social, but religious as well. Moreover, the colloquial lexis and non-standard speech forms that Christians use contradict Ferguson’s claim that the highly codified variety of diglossic languages is always used in giving sermons.
Although the variation is not that substantiative and does not impede understanding, the study has pointed out that there is a religious-based dialect differentiation in Egypt and the Egyptian Christians could be classified as bidialectal to some extent. The ultimate goal of this variation is to mark themselves as a different religious group in an Islamic society. The plethora of the Arabic lexis and expressions and the diglossic nature of Arabic enabled the Egyptian Christians to easily communicate with Muslims and simultaneously preserve their socioreligious identity.

Authors: Cahyono Bambang , Asri Dahlia , Trisnani Rischa
Published: January 2024

This study aimed to describe and explain the conditions for learning vocabulary for slow learners in inclusive elementary schools. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative approach. Sampling was carried out on students with slow learners at 10 inclusive elementary schools in Magetan Regency, East Java, Indonesia, which were selected based on regional considerations. The data sources selected were 10 special accompanying teachers, vocabulary learning activities in class, and documents or archives related to slow learners. Data collection techniques include passive participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis uses an interactive analysis model, which is carried out through three activity flows: data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the vocabulary of slow learners is minimal when compared to that of other normal students. Slow-learner students have difficulty using vocabulary in reading and writing and are weak at stringing letters into words. Factors that hinder slow learners’ vocabulary mastery include being less accustomed to using Indonesian and the lack of support from parents. Teaching materials taught by the teacher include the introduction of new terms, synonyms, antonyms, and standard words, filling in gaps in sentences, and constructing sentences with the available words.

Comparative literary theory: A cross-cultural approach to English literature
Authors: Kholodniak Olena
Published: January 2024

The comparative analysis of the known and the unfamiliar, the self and the other, forms an integral part of cultural exploration throughout history. Culture itself becomes the subject of comparison, and each act of comparison contributes to the broader understanding of cultural phenomena. The historical development of human society lacks examples of completely isolated social, cultural, and literary advancements, as interaction between various segments has always played a significant role. The degree of cultural sophistication within a society often corresponds to the intensity of its connections and exchanges with other communities. This article aims to accentuate the benefits of comparative literary theory in examining English literature from a cross-cultural standpoint and its potential impact in fostering a greater appreciation for cultural diversity. Explore literary traditions, genres, and historical contexts, emphasizing common themes and distinctive features. Engaging with the literary traditions worldwide broadens our perspectives and challenges existing notions while re-evaluating canonical texts. We emphasize the critical examination of cross-cultural influences and the transformative power of translations in interpreting and analyzing literary texts. Translations play a determining role in disseminating literary works across language barriers, allowing readers to explore different cultures through literature. We study how English literature has cross-fertilized with other literary traditions, demonstrating how a comparative approach can illuminate shared themes, motifs, and narrative techniques across different cultural contexts. Comparative literary theory helps us understand how societies influence and change their literary canons over time. A cross-cultural approach uncovers interrelatedness between different literary traditions and broadens our global perspective of English literature.

Authors: Hamza Muhammad Hussain , Nordin Nur Rasyidah Mohd
Published: January 2024

The current study aimed to pragmatically explore the deviation from Leech's (2014) politeness maxims in the former president of the US Donald Trump's political speeches. A qualitative approach was followed to collect and analyze the data. Two oral documents; an interview and a speech that were taken from YouTube were adopted in this study as an instrumentation. These documents, which were selected purposively to saturate the data, were Trump's interview with Fox News Channel reporters, Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier in Scranton on March 6, 2020, and Trump's direct speech to the crowd in Illinois on June 25, 2022, in support of his candidates to win the Congressional election. A discourse analysis method was used to examine the data. The findings showed that Trump from the maxims to convince the people that his opponents are unacceptable, elect Trump's candidates, influence the crowd to change their views of the world, ruin his rivals' image, show his period as the US president incomparable and better than any US presidents, deny accountability, reject to release others from blame, influence the public that the election was stolen to invoke wrath among his supporters, express his hatred towards others, and vent his own feelings to make people sympathetic to him.
