Authors: Mehta Shreshtha , Prasad Madhulika Esther , Upadhye Vijay Jagdish , Goswami Siddharth , Singh Pallavi
Published: June 2024

Ever since the start of the Industrial Revolution, environmental pollution has significantly increased. The prominent cause of most diseases in humans, animals, and plants is the presence of toxic materials, pollutants, contaminants, and hazardous compounds released by industries. One of the major factors is the presence of heavy metals in the air, water bodies and soil. Heavy metals have biomagnification and bioaccumulation characteristics, making them hazardous for flora and fauna on a large scale. Recently, biological sources such as bacteria, fungi, algae, etc., have been used to bioabsorb these heavy metals. The microbial properties of these cell walls are utilized for effective and low-cost absorption of metals. Bioaugmentation, biosorption and biostimulation are effective strategies for reducing the toxicity of hazardous contaminants in the soil and facilitating bioremediation. The mechanism of biosorption is mainly based on ions and functional groups present in the microbes. Fungal species are advantageous over bacteria as they are easier to handle, cost-effective and, most importantly, non-pathogenic, making them ideal candidates for biosorption. This review provides a comprehensive overview of various microbial strains utilized in bioremediation. Further, the review highlights the application of nanotechnology and metabolic engineering approaches to improve the efficacy of Biosorption, Biostimulation and Bioaugmentation. It provides insights on the role of microbial nanoparticles in bioremediation and prospects in the forte of microbe-assisted bioremediation.

Authors: Ibrahim Mohammed A. , Faisal Rayan Mazin
Published: June 2024

Antibiotic resistance genes when found on plasmids can be passed on to other strains causing spread of antibiotic resistance across bacteria. The present work aimed to identify virulence and resistance genes on Proteus mirabilis plasmids. A total of 37 P. mirabilis strains were isolated from 420 urine samples from patients attending different hospitals in Mosul City, Iraq, from December 2022 to April 2023 and identified using biochemical and molecular methods. Their resistance towards 18 antibiotics was tested and their plasmid DNA analysis showed that 21 of 37 Proteus strains contained plasmids. Four groups of primers were used for PCR experiments. The first group included primers used to identify six genetic regions, namely (CITM, DHAM, ACCM, EBCM, FOXM, MOXM1). Results showed that 85.71% of isolates carried FOXM on their plasmids and 14.28% carried MOXM and 4.76% carried CITM. However, DHAH, ACCM, and EBCM were not detected on plasmids. The second group included zapA, ireA (siderophore receptor), hpmA (hemolysin) and mrpA, (fimbriae) genes. zapA was detected in 80.95% of P. mirabilis plasmids, followed by ireA at a rate of 76.19%, hpmA at 14.28%, and mrpA at 4.76%. The third group included CTXG1, CTXG2, CTXG9, CTXG8 and CTXG25. The results showed that CTX9 was the highest gene detected, 76.19%, followed by CTXG1 71.42%, while CTXG2, CTXG8, and CTXG25 were only detected on the chromosome. Finally, the pathogenic genes PmIJ1 and qnrD were found on P. mirabilis plasmids at 52.38% and 47.61%, respectively. The present results showed that plasmids are increasingly spread among clinical local isolates of P. mirabilis, and serious precautions are required.

Published: June 2024

Ornamental geophytes, also called ornamental bulbous plants, are botanically classified as true bulbous, rhizomatous, corm, or tuberous and are some of the most economically important floricultural crops. In addition to the physico-chemical hindrances in reproductive parts, a prolonged juvenile and vegetative period in ornamental geophytes is a hurdle to their breeding process, making it painstaking and costly efforts to introduce a new variety into the market. The molecular cytogenetic breeding techniques, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) provide avenues for fast and precise hybrid verification, introgression breeding, localization and discrimination of genes to analyse the recombination patterns, ploidy levels, evolution of the genome and parental identification of these species and to establish their relationships. These techniques have been widely and successfully used for the breeding and hybrid development of numerous ornamental geophytes. Despite significant improvements and shifts in plant breeding and genetics with the advent of new and sophisticated technologies, FISH and GISH are still used for hybrid verification and confirmation of genomic constitution and ploidy levels in hybrids. However, their application has been limited to only a few ornamental geophytes, viz., tulips, lilium, narcissus and hippeastrum. Their applicability has not been explored or exploited in other ornamental geophytes. This review provides insight into the application of FISH and GISH techniques in breeding ornamental geophytes and related achievements.

Published: June 2024

Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite that causes amoebiasis, an infection primarily affecting the intestines. The study aimed to determine the phylogenetic placement of six isolates of E. histolytica that were amplified from three genetic loci, rRNA, cysteine proteinase, and amoebapore C to evaluate the genetic variation pattern of each sequence. DNA extracted from cultured and frozen stool samples using PrestoTM Stool DNA Extraction Kit and Geneaid kits was analyzed for E. histolytica diversity in amoebiasis patients at Baquba General Hospital from March-June 2023. Polymerase chaing kreaction (PCR) and sequencing of virulence genes (rRNA, cysteine proteinase, amoebapore C) followed by phylogenetic analysis revealed genetic variation and potential implications for pathogenicity. The conducted sequencing reactions confirmed the precise identification of the examined samples, which were determined to be attributed to variable isolates of E. histolytica. Aligning the rRNA sequences of samples A1 and A2 with the most closely related rRNA sequences of E. histolytica (GenBank acc. no. OP925909.1) revealed the presence of two nucleic acid variants (212C>T in A1, and 427G>C in A1 and A2) not present in the reference sequences. Aligning the cysteine proteinase sequences of samples B1 and B2 with the most closely related genomic DNA sequences of E. histolytica (GenBank acc. no. X91642.1) revealed the presence of four nucleic acid variants (95A>T and 96A>T in B1 and B2, and 246A>T and 247A>T in B2) not present in the reference sequences. Translation of nucleic acid sequences to amino acid residues showed that both 95A>T and 96A>T variants caused a missense effect of p.46E>V, while both 246A>T and 247A>T variants showed another missense effect of p.97T>S. Aligning the amoebapore C sequences of samples C1 and C2 with the most closely related genomic sequences of E. histolytica (GenBank acc. no. X76903.1) revealed their entire similarity. It was inferred from the tree that the investigated protozoan samples occupied distinct phylogenetic positions and were suitable for the vicinity of various clinical isolates that were isolated from several locations worldwide. However, the rRNA-based tree provided ample genetic diversity with more effective discrimination compared with the other used loci.

Published: June 2024

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease. It is associated with atrophy of the intestinal villi, leading to reduced absorbed nutrients. Nesfatin-1 is a peptide that is used as a laboratory detection tool in CD detection. VEGF plays a role in the permeability of endothelial functions. Helicobacter pylori are colonized and cause stomach injury in adults and children. H. pylori are cause chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcers, and adenocarcinomas. The study was estimated the NESFATIN-1 and VEGFA in CD with H. pylori. (41) CD with H. pylori and (31) CD without H. pylori, (42) control group is included in the study. Nesfatin-1 and VEGFA were measured in the entire participant. Nesfatin-1 was higher in CD than in the control group. It was lower in men than women and lowered in persons under 35 years of age than in persons over 35 years of age. VEGF was higher in patients with CD, it was higher in men than in women, and higher in persons less than 35 years of age than in persons with more than 35 years of age; also, it was higher in less than 35 years of age than in more than 35 years of age, a high level of VEGFA was detected in CD. VEGF expression change is reported in some tumors; it is unsuitable for detecting celiac disease but can be used for patients' follow-ups. CD cases have higher nesfatin-1 levels than in IBS-D or the control group. Deficiencies of minerals and vitamins are detected in CD patients irrespective of age and gender. All CD cases had nutritional deficiencies.

Fertility is one of the key components that determine the population change in Sri Lanka. Total Fertility Rates (TFR) are the average number of children a woman would have by the end of her childbearing years (15-49) if she bore children at the current age-specific fertility rates. The average has been declining over the past decade in Sri Lanka. It is essential to understand the trends and patterns of TFR in that aspect to enhance the quality of predetermined long-term economic, health and educational plans as well the policy implements in the country. The main objective of the study is to identify the trends and patterns of historic Total Fertility Rates of Sri Lanka (1960 – 2021) and future trends. The study carries out based on the secondary data on TFR extracted from World Bank data (1960-2021). Initially, the univariate time series analysis was utilized to identify the pattern of TFR using the R Statistical software. This study revealed that there is a decreasing future trend in TFR using ARIMA (1, 2, 1) model which was fitted as the best model to forecast the future behavior TFR. The fitted model was. The forecasted TFR values for the period from 2022 to 2026 were 1.9577, 1.9372, 1.9167, 1.8963 and 1.8758 respectively. It is suggested to have a comparative study on fertility trends and patterns with consideration of socioeconomic and cultural factors in Sri Lanka since TFR varies due to socioeconomic and cultural diversity.

Human resources of an organization are the main asset of any organization. They are unique in character and dynamic in nature. The key challenge for any organization is to manage and retain them. The main motivation of employee retention is the prevention of the loss of the right employees from an organization as it can negatively affect productivity and service delivery. This study aims to identify key influential factors that affect employee retention of two competitive organizations in apparel industry. Also,this study investigated the impact of training, superior-subordinate relationship, working environment, motivation, and benefits on employee retention. A sample of 172 employees from both apparel organizations was considered in the study. The multistage cluster sampling technique was used to select the cooperative offices of two organizations in Colombo district and the simple random sampling was utilized to select the middle level managers from the selected two apparel organizations. The results were obtained using the Structural Equation Modeling technique, revealing that organizational goodwill and benefits have a significant impact on employee retention. One organization has shown a high positive impact on employee retention due to an attractive benefit package, whereas the other has demonstrated a comparatively lower positive impact on retention. However, the overall retention level of both the organizations was 49.74%.

Accordingly, the research problem of study is what factors affect on the satisfaction of shopkeepers regarding the market activities. The study population is all shopkeepers of the economic centers in Sri Lanka. Shopkeepers in Dambulla Economic Center were selected as the sample using cluster sampling technique. Data were gathered using an interviewer administered questionnaire and interview method. Quantitative data were analyzed using independent two-sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance and structural equation modeling. The simple index was constructed to identify the levels of satisfaction. Findings of the study revealed that the average satisfaction of the shopkeepers regarding the market activities was identified as 55.4%. Among the demographic factors that have an effect on satisfaction, it was confirmed that the age factor and the profit earned through the economic center show a relationship on satisfaction. In taking into consideration the physical facilities of the economic center, existing relationship with manufacturers and the existing relationship between wholesalers, it could be identified that only the existing relationship with manufacturers has an effect on satisfaction. According to the findings of the study it can be concluded that the Dambulla Economic Center operates on the commission system, the producer's ability to bargain on the selling price of agricultural products has an effect on the satisfaction of the market activities.

This article aims to present an analysis of Jeremiah 24:1-10, with a focus on the text's structure and rhetoric. This research treats Jeremiah 24:1-10 as a cohesive unit, differing from the views of redactional theorists who commonly consider verse 1b in Jeremiah 24:1-10 as a redactional addition. According to them, reading Jeremiah 24 without verse 1b would not significantly impact the understanding of the passage. Verse 1b, mentioning King Jeconiah, the officials of Judah, the artisans, and the smiths, is added as propaganda reflecting Jeconiah’s claims or legitimization and that of his supporters to live and rule in Jerusalem and Judah. In contrast to this perspective, this article views verse 1b as one of the structural and rhetorical elements that demonstrate how the text is organized. This article will identify structural devices such as keyword repetitions and contrasts that can indicate the rhetoric or persuasive techniques employed in the text. The analysis finds that Jeremiah 24:1-10 contains rhetoric of God's mysterious providence, showcasing God's full authority to change or determine the fate of nations or kingdoms that humans sometimes cannot comprehend.

Published: June 2024

Object: to assess the impact of infrastructural institutions on the development of rural production, as well as to investigate the present results in agricultural production and its prospects.
Methods: the system-functional approach was used as a general method, as well as general scientific methods: abstract-logical, dialectical; methods of statistical analysis. Results and conclusions.
Findings: technology, infrastructure, and market strategies all play a role in fostering agricultural growth for the benefit of the broader population at all developmental phases. Insufficient infrastructure stands out as a significant barrier to the effective advancement of the agro-industrial sector. Investing public funds into infrastructure holds significance in establishing favorable conditions for financial markets to operate effectively in rural regions. Enhancing rural infrastructure also incentivizes commercial entities to extend favorable loan terms to farmers, as the associated risks diminish. Furthermore, a pivotal determinant of international competitiveness lies in the presence of sufficient and efficient national infrastructure.
Conclusions: enhancing national infrastructure can bolster international competitiveness through several avenues, including boosting price competitiveness, enhancing non-price competitiveness, and attracting foreign direct investment (FDI).

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to provide a method for determining the apical vertebra for pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) in corrective surgery for patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK).

METHODS

The medical records of AS patients with TLK who underwent PSO between May 2009 and August 2022 were retrospectively reviewed, and 235 patients were included in the study. Using the proposed method, choosing the vertebra based on Kim’s apex (KA), which is defined as the farthest vertebra from a line drawn from the center of the T10 vertebral body to the midpoint of the S1 upper endplate, the authors analyzed 229 patients with apices at T12, L1, or L2 (excluding L3 because of the small sample size, n = 6). They divided all patients into two groups. Group A (n = 144) underwent PSO at the KA vertebra, while group B (n = 85) underwent PSO at a different level. Demographic and radiological data, including sagittal spinopelvic parameters of the entire spine, were collected. An additional analysis was performed on patients with the same KA vertebra.

RESULTS

The vertebra distributions of patients based on KA were T12 (28 [12.2%]), L1 (119 [52.0%]), and L2 (82 [35.8%]). The corrections of sagittal vertical axis (SVA; 101.0 ± 48.5 mm vs 82.0 ± 53.8 mm, p = 0.010), global kyphosis (GK; 31.6° ± 10.0° vs 26.4° ± 10.5°, p = 0.005), and TLK (29.4° ± 10.2° vs 24.2° ± 12.9°, p = 0.012) in group A were significantly greater than those in group B, and there was no difference in the corrections of thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis, and pelvic incidence between the two groups. On further analysis, group A showed greater correction in TK (26.2° ± 13.7° vs 0.1° ± 8.1°, p = 0.013) for patients with T12 as the KA; greater improvements in SVA (101.5 ± 44.2 mm vs 73.4 ± 48.7 mm, p = 0.020), GK (30.6° ± 11.0° vs 25.0° ± 10.4°, p = 0.046), and TLK (32.6° ± 7.8° vs 26.7° ± 9.9°, p = 0.012) for those with L1 as the KA; and significant correction in TLK (30.0° ± 6.3° vs 4.3° ± 19.5°, p = 0.008) for patients with L2 as the KA, compared with group B.

CONCLUSIONS

PSO at the apical vertebra provides a greater degree of correction of sagittal imbalance. The proposed method, selecting the vertebra based on KA, is easily reproducible for determining the apex level in AS patients with TLK.

Published: June 2024

Основним ресурсом персоналу є стрижневе утворення особистості – її суб’єктний ресурс. Із поняттям суб’єктності пов’язують такі характеристики особистості, як індивідуальність; самостійне творче мислення; характер; активність; воля; почуття особистої соціальної та моральної відповідальності; моральна, психологічна, емоційно-вольова стійкість; психологічна та професійна готовність; психологічна, моральна, професійна надійність; духовність; творчий потенціал. Одна з особливостей у розвитку як категорії суб’єкта, так і поняття суб’єктність, – тенденція розвитку від характеристики якостей людини до процесуальних характеристик (самовизначення, самосвідомість, саморегуляція тощо).
