Prilog povijesti Katoličkoga bogoslovnog fakulteta
Authors: Biočić Ana
Published: October 2021

Katolički bogoslovni fakultet dio je Sveučilišta u Zagrebu od njegova osnutka, no uspostavom komunističke vlasti Fakultet je političkom, a ne zakonodavnom odlukom, 1952. godine isključen sa Sveučilišta. Tada je dekan bio Vilim Keilbach. U radu ćemo na osnovi arhivske građe pohranjene u Arhivu Fakulteta i Keilbachove ostavštine, koja se čuva u knjižnici Fakulteta, nastojati utvrditi njegovu ulogu u događajima 1952. godine u smislu organizacije daljnjeg rada Fakulteta u značajno promijenjenim okolnostima.
Pokrajinski sabor južnohrvatskih biskupija u Zadru 1579. godine
Authors: Strika Zvjezdan
Published: October 2021

U radu se prikazuje krajevni sabor, koji je u benediktinskom samostanu sv. Krševana dan ili dva prije 20. svibnja 1579. godine sazvao apostolski pohoditelj, veronski biskup Agostino Valier (1531. – 1606.). Njemu je papa Grgur XIII. (1572. – 1585.) povjerio vizitaciju područja istočnojadranske obale pod mletačkom upravom. Kada je obavio velik dio povjerene mu zadaće stigao je početkom svibnja sa svojim suradnicima u Zadar, gdje je pomno pripremio saborsko zasjedanje. Na njemu se raspravljalo o mnogobrojnim problemima s kojima se susretala Crkva u Dalmaciji. Saborske konstitucije imaju devet poglavlja koje se sadržajno jedna na drugu skladno nadovezuju i sačinjavaju jednu homogenu cjelinu. One su inspirirane smjernicama Tridentskog sabora (1545. – 1563.), a prilagođene su konkretnoj situaciji u mletačkoj Dalmaciji, koja je s jedne strane pritješnjena osmanskim susjedstvom, a s druge strane, mletačka uprava pokušavala je podrediti crkvene institucije svojim vlastitim političkim interesima.

Authors: Medved Marko
Published: October 2021

The author delivers a general history of the Abbey of St James, from its beginnings in the Middle Ages up to contemporary times. Based on the information from the relevant historiographical literature, the author emphasizes discussion about the time and reasons when Benedictines have left the Abbey, as well as the importance of Augustinians in the period between the mid-sixteenth and mid-eighteenth centuries. Analysis of the relevant literature and archival unpublished sources enabled the author to propose answers to some up-to-now unanswered questions regarding the history of the Abbey after which is named Town of Opatija. From the eighteenth century, this Abbey was organizationally subjected to the Jesuit College in Rijeka, and later to the archdeacon of Collegiate Chapter at Rijeka. After the Diocese of Rijeka was founded the title of the abbot of St James became a part of the title of the Bishop of Rijeka.

Temporal and spatial changes of macrobenthos communities in south east shores of the Caspian sea
Authors: Javandel Nadia , Akhoundian Maryam
Published: October 2021

In this research, Sampling of macrobenthos of Mazandaran beaches was performed in 7 stations at two depths of 5 and 10 meters during four seasons in 2020 using a grab with 8 replications in each station. In this study, a total of 10472 individuals were counted, which belonging to 22 species from 13 families. The highest frequency of macrobenthos (648 ± 170.79) was observed in spring and the highest amount of biomass (36.21 ±2.5 gr / m2) was observed in winter. Moreover, the highest prevalence of macrobenthos predominant groups during the sampling period was observed in Bivalves (40%), Crustaceans (36%), Annelids (22%) and Gastropoda (2%), respectively.  The results of PERMANOVA analysis showed that the effect of two factors of season and depth impacted the biomass, abundance, species richness, species composition and community structure of macrobenthos significantly. Furthermore, the results showed that with increasing the depth from 5 to 10 meters, macrobenthos abundance increased by 4, 2, 1 and 9 times in spring, summer, autumn and winter, respectively. Moreover, increase in depth from 5 to 10m, the values of biomass and species richness have increased. In according to these results, it can be concluded that biomass and diversity index of macrobenthos communities change considerably in different seasons and depths. Therefore, natural changes of these variables should be considered when using these macrobenthos communities to assess the impact of environmental factors.
Determining the ratio of the number of recoil electrons to the number of photoelectrons using a new method
Authors: Kosianov Petr M.
Published: October 2021

The problem in question is relevant due to discrepancy between the results of theoretical and known experimental studies of various interactions of ionizing emission photons with substances, in particular, photo effect and Compton scattering of these photons. The study aimed at carrying out specific measurements using a new method of simultaneously determining the ratio of the number of recoil electrons to the number of photoelectrons. Analysis of the results showed that there are significant discrepancies between theoretical calculations and experimental data. New values of simultaneously measured ratios of cross-sections for heavy atoms using a method invented by the author, and old measurements of these ratios for light atoms usingWilson cloud chamber, when compared with theoretical calculations, show that a significant (by one order and more) one-direction discrepancy is seen for X-ray and gamma emissions over a range of energies in question.It is shown that these discrepancies might be attributed to the fact that an atomic electron is in a free state for a while. Compton scattering occurs with a free electron; photo effect involves only bound electrons. Therefore, Compton scattering cross section is proportional to a period of time, during which electron was in a free state, whereas photo effect cross section is proportional to a time period, during which electron was in a bound state. The article materials might be helpful to perform both fundamental, and applied studies on interaction of light quanta with substance including modelling the phenomena under examination.
Developing technology of creating wear-resistant ceramic coating for internal combustion engine cylinder sleeve
Authors: Chavdarov Anatoliy V. , Denisov Viatcheslav A.
Published: October 2021

This paper presents the results of testing a wear-resistant ceramic coating on the work surface of an internal combustion engine (ICE) cylinder’s sleeve. A combined coating formation technology is described that consists in applying an aluminum layer to the sleeve’s work face by gas dynamic spraying and then covering this face with a ceramic layer by microarc oxidation (MAO). A tenfold reduction in the reinforced sleeve has been determined by the accelerated comparative wear rig tests of reference (new) sleeve-piston ring coupling specimens and reinforced specimens with a combined coating. The supplementation of nanoparticle admixture to MAO coating reduces the friction factor between the cylinder sleeve face and the piston ring by 25-30%. The proposed technology can be used to reinforce work surfaces of new cylinder sleeves and recover worn out ones.
High frequency power supply to improve operation stability of linear electron accelerator
Authors: Vladimir Kuzmich Shilov  , Nikolaevich Filatov Aleksandr , Novozhilov Aleksandr Evgenevich
Published: October 2021

The use of linear electron accelerators in medicine and industry is explained by the simplicity of the input and output of accelerated electrons and adjusting the energy and dose rate, as well as the high dose rate of bremsstrahlung. The purpose of this work is to increase the stability of their work. A standing wave accelerator containing a high-frequency generator, a phase shifter, a waveguide bridge, a high-frequency load, and an accelerating system of two accelerating sections is equipped with two waveguide tees. Their inputs are connected to the output arms of the waveguide bridge, and the first and second output arms of each tee are connected to the first and last accelerating cells of each section, respectively. In this system, due to the introduction of several elements that do not require large costs for manufacturing and tuning, a significantly greater frequency separation of the operating mode of oscillations from neighboring ones is ensured, or even a single-frequency excitation mode is implemented, which makes it possible to significantly increase the stability of the accelerator operation. This technique can be used to increase the stability of operation in the design and calculation of linear accelerators of electrons with a standing wave.

Co-administration of prescribed drug with that of over the counter products may either lead to altered therapeutic effect, adverse effects or depleted efficacy of one or both drugs. One such example is geriatric patients being treated with ayurvedic cardioprotectives formulations for ischemia generally suffer from bowel movement discomfort and tend to consume herbal laxatives simultaneously without physician’s consent. The proposed study was undertaken to determine whether any interaction exists when Arjuna, a cardioprotective agent is concomitantly administered orally with Haritaki churna, a laxative agent, in isoproterenol (subcutaneous administration) induced ischemic rats on pharmacodynamic level. Data was statistically evaluated by comparing the effect of combination group with that of isoproterenol control and Arjuna group on electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns, blood serum parameters, gastric motility using ONE WAY ANNOVA, p < 0.05 followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test. Results suggests that there is significant decrease in cardioprotective efficacy of Arjuna when administered together with Haritaki.

A simple and selective high performance thin layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method was developed and validated for the estimation of ziprasidone hydrochloride monohydrate (ZHM) from its marketed formulation and oral formulation. The CAMAG HPTLC system, operated with software winCATS (ver.1.4.1.8) was used for proposed analytical work. Planar chromatographic development was carried out with the help of silica gel 60 F254 precoated aluminium TLC plates. Sample application was employed using Linomat 5 applicator. The optimized mobile phase was composed of toluene: glacial acetic acid: methanol (6: 0.3: 3 V/V/V). The detection of spots was carried out densitometrically using a UV detector at 317nm in absorbance mode. In HPTLC densitogram well defined peak was obtained for ZHM with starting position at 59 hRf, max position at 63 hRf and end position at 65 hRf. The optimum hRf value for ZHM was found to be 63. Performance characteristics of HPTLC method for estimation of ZHM in bulk drug and its marketed dosage form were statistically validated as per recommendations of ICH guidelines of analytical method validation. The HPTLC method was found to be linear across the range 20-140 ng/band. The LOD and LOQ values were found to be 13.573 and 41.130 ng/band, respectively. The method was found to be accurate, precise, robust and economical for the analysis of ZHM from bulk drug and its formulation. The proposed analytical HPTLC method can be used for routine quality-control analysis of ZHM.

Pancreatic lipase inhibitory effect of some edible spices in light of percent inhibition, efficacy, reversibility/ irreversibility and effect of pH on inhibition is presented here. Lipase inhibitory activities of methanolic extracts of eighteen spices were evaluated. Extracts of Zanthoxylum armatum, Cinnamomum tamala, Syzygium aromaticum and Myristica fragrans were considered to be of high potency in synthetic substrate assay. Only Syzygium aromaticum showed high potency in natural substrate based lipase assay. Zanthoxylum armatum extract displayed lowest IC50 of 9.0 μg/mL. On dialysis, all extracts lost their lipase inhibitory activity indicating reversible nature of inhibition. pH significantly affected the performance of spice extracts during inhibition of pancreatic lipase. Most of the extracts lost their pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity at pH 3.0 with the exception of Brassica nigra and Cinnamomum tamala. Results showed spice are good source of pancreatic lipase inhibitor and its potential as drug for obesity can be explored by addressing various issues.

The present work presents the results of the research of the ichthyofauna of the largest accumulation lakes in the Republic of Moldova (Dubăsari on the Dniester River and CosteștiStânca on the Prut River) under the conditions of climate changes and intensification of anthropogenic pressure. The state of profound change in the ichthyocenosis of the Dubasari reservoir is demonstrated, which is currently dominated by small species (gobius species, bleak, bitterling, blackstriped pipefish), and indicates the urgent need to carry out ameliorating measures of populating the ecosystems with economically valuable species of fish, among which a significant share shall be placed on ichthyophagous species of fish, such as pikeperch, northern pike, catfish, asp. The higher share of oxyphilic and reophilous fish species in the fish catches from the Costești-Stânca accumulation lake reveals a more favourable ecological status of this ecosystem compared to the Dubasari accumulation.

The historical evolution of the divorce in Italy from the Ages of Codifications to 1970

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper is to examine the Italian regulations that already provided for divorce from the Ages of Codifications to 1970. In this perspective, the Author argues that the Italian legislator, although in a fragmentary and discontinuous manner, already provided for divorce since 1806. Furthermore, the Author focuses on cases in which foreign divorce judgments have gained the civil recognition (“delibazione”) before the Italian divorce legislation came into force.
pacientes a discentes: mujeres en la producción autogestionaria del hábitat
Authors: Rodríguez María Carla , Arqueros Mejica María
Published: October 2021

En este artículo indagamos en las prácticas autogestionarias de producción del hábitat a la luz de los cambios producidos en la vida de las mujeres. Para ello recuperamos la experiencia de las cooperativas La Fábrica y El Molino, del Movimiento de Ocupantes e Inquilinos de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina. El análisis se sostiene en un trabajo de campo que se nutre de observación participante, entrevistas etnográficas y una encuesta específica realizada en 2018. A lo largo del escrito, se ponen de relieve los diversos modos en que la participación de las mujeres en instancias colectivas de toma de decisiones significativas sobre su hábitat a través de la autogestión, incide en las subjetividades. Concluimos que ese proceso habilita tendencias de despatriarcalización como parte de la resignificación de la vida cotidiana y asociadas con una puesta en valor de lo colectivo y lo “común”.
Las coordenadas de la arquitectura inclusiva: entre el concepto de discapacidad y sustentabilidad
Authors: Solano-Meneses Eska Elena
Published: October 2021

Este trabajo de reflexión, centra su análisis en la relación paradigmática que la arquitectura inclusiva guarda con la evolución conceptual y teórica de dos aspectos en los que subyace: la discapacidad y la sustentabilidad. 

La discapacidad, motor inicial de la arquitectura inclusiva, presenta tres modelos de paradigmas conceptuales (Palacios, 2008): el modelo de la prescindencia, el modelo médico o rehabilitador y el modelo social de la diversidad funcional (Guzmán Castillo, et al., 2010), que dan muestra de una transición evolutiva  cuyas implicaciones quedan claras en las intervenciones arquitectónicas hacia la inclusión.

Por su parte, la sustentabilidad también presenta tres posturas que constituyen una aproximación evolutiva del concepto mismo en el diseño, y, por ende, muestran la manera en que la sociedad le ha hecho frente a esta problemática. Acorde a Madge (1997) los cambios de paradigmas de la sustentabilidad se pueden representar en tres etapas en el diseño: el diseño verde, el ecodiseño y el diseño sustentable, que claramente marcan la profundidad y el nivel de compromiso de la sociedad con este discurso.

Como estrategia para esta reflexión analítica, se usan las coordenadas como esquema de ubicación, donde claramente se aprecia el escaso progreso de la arquitectura, en materia de inclusión.

El presente artículo explora espacios olvidados de la dignidad humana que emergen a propósito del fenómeno de la pandemia, a partir de los referentes epistemológicos que el nuevo paradigma nos brinda decantando el derrotero que nos permita transitar hacia escenarios de la vida digna desde los valores solidarios fundados en los principios femeninos del cuidado y la preservación de la vida.

El COVID 19 es uno de los síntomas de una enfermedad global gestada por los errores de occidente como una civilización que nació enferma. El virus es el resultado de una serie de problemas estructurales de un sistema mundial capitalista, patriarcal, dualista, androcéntrico, de un sistema mundial de destrucción que avasalló la vida en aras de un supuesto estado de bienestar y confort cimentado en el consumo desaforado de los recursos naturales y en la invisibilización de la dignidad humana y, por ende, del respeto a otras posibilidades de Ser desde la diversidad y del reconocimiento del otro como legítimo otro.  Durante la crisis se hacen visibles las desigualdades y la vulneración de los derechos humanos y el desamparo de las poblaciones menos favorecidas ante el resquebrajado tejido social, desde dónde urge comprender que la vida se entrama en los territorios vinculares para dar paso a alternativas sustentables.

Authors: Hamad Abdelhamid M
Published: October 2021

The effect of 6 sucrose concentrations (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 g/l) over 4 incubation periods (30, 45, 60, 75 days) on in vitro rooting of Moris pineapple cultured in liquid half strength MS medium enriched with IBA at 2.0 mg/l was investigated. At all incubation periods, all shoots in medium enriched with sucrose at 5 g/l failed to root, and no roots formed within the first 30 days in medium enriched with sucrose at 10 g/l. After 30 days of incubation, the highest rooting percentage (66 %), tallest plantlets (23 mm tall), highest (3.4 roots) and longest (5.3 mm) root per shoot were obtained in medium enriched with sucrose at 25, 10, 15, 15 g/l respectively, while after 45 days, the highest of all rooting aspects (75 %, 32.3 mm tall, 3.7 roots, 7 mm long), were obtained in medium enriched with sucrose at 15 g/l. After 60 days, the highest rooting percentage (91.7 %) and tallest plantlets (36.7 mm tall) were obtained in medium enriched with sucrose at 20 g/l while highest roots per shoot (3.7 roots) and longest root (10.7 mm) were obtained in medium enriched with sucrose at 15 g/l. After 75 days, all shoots rooted (100 %) in medium enriched with sucrose at 10 and 20 g/l, while sucrose at 25 g/l resulted in tallest plantlets (46.3 mm tall) and at 20 g/l resulted in highest (4.7 roots) and longest roots (27.3 mm). At each incubation period, there was a different optimum sucrose enrichment for different rooting parameters.

The Pacific Wing-Oyster, Pteria sterna, off San Diego, California
Authors: Tuskes Paul
Published: October 2021

Pteria sterna is an eastern Pacific pearl oyster of commercial value from Peru to central Baja California, Mexico. The continuous presence of this species in San Diego for a decade is unique as it is approximately 600 km north of the expected range for the species. A minimum of three generations are present in Mission Bay at any point in time and the preferred substrate for attachment are gorgonian corals. The species is also found off shore in cooler water. The continued presence of this oyster raises the question as to the status of this population; is it a permanent range extension or simply a transient population and what has changed that allowed its continued presence?

Authors: Prastica Erven Era , Masithah Endang Dewi , Pursetyo Kustiawan Tri
Published: October 2021

Fish Cakes (Perkedel) is Indonesian fried patties, most commonly made from mashed potatoes mix with beef or chicken. This research was conducted to determine the sensory quality and the best nutritional value of the cakes which are composed of tuna fish and milkfish. The study used an experimental method with the main parameters of sensory quality (organoleptic test) and nutritional value (proximate analysis) in seven different cake treatments. The results showed that the composition of tuna fish and milkfish of fish cakes had a very significant effect on the color and aroma aspects, while the texture and taste aspects were not significantly different among the treatments. The findings indicated that the composition of tuna fish and milkfish only affected color and aroma. The best formulation of the fish cake was on Perkedel 7 (P7) which has a sufficiently good organoleptic color, aroma, texture, and taste with higher nutrient content, compared with other treatments. The nutritional content of P7 was Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) protein of 28.77%, RDA fat of 0.68%, and RDA carbohydrate of 7.41%. Moreover, it also produced energy of 162 kcal/100g. In conclusion, fish cake with great sensory quality and nutritional values was obtained with 45 g of tuna fish and 15 g of milkfish. The P7 formulation is a combination of 45 g of tuna fish and 15 g of milkfish. The RDA obtained from fish cakes in the best treatment Perkedel 7 (P7) was 28.77% for RDA protein, 0.68% for fat, and 7.41% for carbohydrates. The investigated fish cakes provide energy of 162 kcal/100 g at an affordable price.

In most tropical countries, such as Indonesia, fasciolosis is generally caused by Fasciola gigantica known as tropical liver fluke. However, most fasciolosis serodiagnostic tests have been developed solely for diagnosing fasciolosis caused by Fasciola hepatica (non-tropical liver fluke), and very few have been specifically designed for F. gigantica. The aim of this study was to determine the profile of antigenic proteins from the somatic extract of F. gigantica isolated from Bali cattle (Bos javanicus). The liver flukes were collected from a slaughtering house in Mataram, Indonesia. The somatic extracts were prepared by homogenizing in buffers containing 0.05 M NaCl, 0.02 M PMSF, and 0.05% Triton X-100. The characterization of the somatic extract proteins was performed using one-dimension gel electrophoresis and followed by Western blotting to determine the profile of its antigenic proteins. There were 14 bands of the somatic extracts with an estimated molecular weight ranging from 8 to105 8 kDa shown on the gel electrophoresis. The results of the Western blot show that there were five prominent protein bands. Three out of five prominent antigenic proteins with molecular weights of 8, 27, and 33 kDa are promising to enrich the existence of antigens that have immunodiagnostic value for fasciolosis. Therefore, further studies are required to examine more deeply the potency of those three antigenic somatic proteins of F. gigantica.

Avian influenza viruses (AIV) are zoonotic pathogens that can potentially affect humans and potentially be epidemic in a region. Birds (such as poultry and wild birds) serve as potential reservoirs for these viruses, highlighting the importance of determining AIV prevalence in the avian population. No systematic reviews have been published on this issue in the world so far. The present systematic literature review following the PRISMA standard, with meta-analysis, used three databases to globally assess the Influenza H5N6 infection in birds (including poultry and wild birds). A model of random-effects meta-analysis was performed to calculate the pooled prevalence and 95% Confidence Interval (95% CI) for the prevalence of Influenza H5N6 infection in birds. A total number of 14,605 articles published from 2015 to 2020 were retrieved. After screening the abstract/title, 37 articles were selected for full-text assessment, and 15 were included for qualitative and quantitative analyses. Of the total number of birds (n = 13,416 birds), the pool prevalence by RT-PCR was 3.5% (95% CI: 2.8-4.3%). From the total, 39.67% of the birds assessed were ducks (family Anatidae), in which pool prevalence was 7.7% (95% CI: 4.4-11.0). In chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus), the pool prevalence was 3.3% (95% CI 1.9-4.8). Vietnam was the country with the highest pool prevalence; 7.9% (95% CI 4.0-11.7%). Bangladesh was the country with the lowest pool prevalence of 0.4% (95% CI 0.2-0.7%). A considerable proportion of infected birds tested positive highlighted the relevance of individual animals as reservoirs of H5N6. Ducks and chickens were found to be positive by RT-PCR in over 3% of the cases. These data suggest their relevance in maintaining zoonotic transmission and their potential implications for epidemics and even pandemics in the near future.

A 10-year (2008-2017) retrospective canine-mediated human rabies epidemiology was studied to assess the burden of rabies in Nepal. To this end, the number of dog bites, the use of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), and human death records from 2008 to 2017 were retrieved from Sukraraj Tropical Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal. The findings revealed that the number of human rabies occurrences was consistent with minor fluctuations throughout the study period. There were 252,297 dog bite cases in humans recorded between 2008 and 2017. Every month, 2,102 people were bitten by mostly stray dogs. There was a gradual increase in PEP use throughout 10 years. On average, 36,995 PEP dosages were used per year for stray dog bites. The PEP consumption and the number of human deaths were negatively correlated. A total of 482 human rabies deaths were recorded in Nepal during the study period. On average, 49 people died of canine-mediated rabies each year. Although there was an increase in the use of PEP, the number of human deaths and street dog bites recorded were still high. The high mortality due to rabies could then be attributed to the flawed surveillance system and stray dog population management, and not merely the lack of PEP services. Hence, it is recommended that the government agencies and other concerned stakeholders should organize mass vaccination and population management program for stray dogs in order to reduce the country’s rabies burden.
Supplementation of Moringa oleifera Leaf Meal in Layer Chickens’ Feed: A Review
Authors: Gobezie Eyayu
Published: October 2021

As a dietary supplement for animals, Moringa oleifera is very useful because its leaves are very nutritious. Moringa oleifera leaves are rich in fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals with antimicrobial effects. Leaf tea is used to treat ulcers in the stomach and diarrhea. Moringa leaves are considered healthy food sources and are recommended for anemia from malnutrition due to the high protein, fiber, and iron content of the leaves. Moringa oleifera leaves are primarily used for medicinal and human consumption purposes since they are abundant in antioxidants and other nutrients. Due to the low energy and digestibility of proteins, Moringa oleifera leaf meal supplementation increases feed intake and feed conversion ratio, as well as decreasing egg mass yield, percentage of egg production, and egg weight. More research in these areas is required to make full use of the potential advantages of the Moringa oleifera plant as layer feed.

Neonicotinoids are a relatively small group of organic compounds that are widely used in crop production as insecticides. They are highly toxic to insects, and much less toxic to mammals, including humans. Accordingly, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of chronic toxicity of insecticides from the group of neonicotinoids Mospilan RP (active substance acetamiprid) and Actara 25 WG (active substance thiamethoxam) on white mice. The chronic toxicity was induced by daily internal introduction of Mospilan RP and Actara 25 WG to mice for 30 days at the doses of 1/10 of Median Lethal Dose reported as 65 and 363 mg/kg of body weight, respectively. The affected mice showed thrombocytosis, neutrophilic leukocytosis, and lymphocytopenia. Blood plasma hyperproteinemia in mice treated with Mospilan RP and Actara 25 WG was characterized by an increase in globulins content by almost 30.0% in both groups. In Mospilan RP and Actara 25 WG treated groups, there was a reduction in urea content by 43.6% and 31.5%, respectively, an increase in aspartate aminotransferase activity by 80% and 60.0%, and γ-glutamyltranspeptidase by 80% and almost 400%, respectively. Compared to the control group, the activity of alanine aminotransferase increased to 23.0% only in mice that were given Mospilan RP but not in mice that were given Actara 25 WG.

The Patin catfish (Pangasius sp.) is a species of fish that is widely cultivated both in quarantine and in ponds. The success of Patin catfish cultivation is influenced by several factors, one of them is the feed. Patin catfish need essential amino acids to meet their needs. The addition of the amino acid (lysine) in the commercial feed not only affects the metabolism of the fish but also the content of Omega-3 and Omega-6 would be found in the fish. This study was conducted to observe the influences of essential lysine on the content of Omega-3 and Omega-6 of Patin catfish. This was an experimental study with a completely randomized design method, consisting of four treatments and five replications. The treatment which was given to experimental fish was commercial feed with the addition of lysine at different doses. The result indicated that the addition of lysine in commercial feed for 30 days of this research had a significant effect (p < 0.05) on the increase in the content of Omega-3 and Omega-6 in Patin catfish meat (Pangasius sp.). Based on the results of the current study, Patin catfish can be a good source of Omega-3 and omega 6 if the feed that is used in the cultivation process, contains lysine as an amino acid source.

Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetii) is a Gram-negative and obligate intracellular bacterium that causes Query fever (Q fever). The aim of the present study was to detect C. burnetii in beef cattle from Ampel slaughterhouse at Boyolali Regency, Middle Java, Indonesia. Spleen, heart, liver, lung, and kidney samples were collected from 100 cattle and used for Nested-PCR (nPCR) with four types of primers (OMP1, OMP2, OMP3, and OMP4). Five stages of pooling extraction were performed on 100 individual samples. The nPCR amplified a 437 bp DNA fragment from the fifth pool on the sampled heart, lung, and spleen. Furthermore, 10 individual samples from the fifth pool were re-tested by nPCR to find out the number of positive individual samples. Of 10 samples, the obtained result indicated the presence of C. burnetii DNA in 7 samples, 6 from Simmental cattle and 1 from Ongole cattle. Therefore, it can be strongly suspected that there are 7 out of 100 local breed beef cattle positive of Q fever at Boyolali Regency, Middle Java, Indonesia.

The study aimed to identify the culling reasons of Holstein cows raised in a large commercial herd in Egypt with emphasis on the performance of retained and culled cows. A total of 31534 complete lactation records for 10994 cows calved from 2008 to 2019 were used. The overall rate of culling per lactation was 61.1%. Involuntary culling represented 92% of all culling cases. The reasons for culling included mastitis and udder problems (24.2%), reproductive disorders (18.7%), metabolic and digestive disorders (13.6%), lameness (13%), endemic diseases (10.8%), low milk yield (8.1%), respiratory diseases (4.3%) and unknown causes (7.3%). Means of 305-day milk yield and daily milk yield were significantly lower in culled cows than the retained ones. On the other hand, no significant differences were observed between culled and retained cows for days open and the number of services/conception. The high involuntary culling rate of Holstein under the Egyptian conditions revealed that management practices regarding mastitis prevention and reproductive efficiency should be improved.
