Published: May 2023

The birds present in an area help in the up-grading the normal biodiversity. They portray the regular environmental factors of that particular area. They have always been considered as natural indicators of environmental change. They help in seed scattering, which aids in the germination of new trees that assist us with looking into the botanical variety of a specific region. Assuming we change the infertile grounds into forested regions by establishing trees, the birds are the initial ones to arrive at and occupy the area. The animals, especially the birds, are threatened by the changing environmental conditions. Moreover, they are the initial ones to get impacted. The birds select their habitats depending on their size, how they build their homes, and food propensities. Due to land use by humans, the habitat occupied by birds is subjected to fragmentation. The bird populations start getting isolated. In these isolated populations, many genetic changes take place that changes the wild gene pool into something different. This review paper deals with how effective birds are as indicators of restoration and the need to conserve the biodiversity of the Western Ghats.

Published: May 2023

Roost preference, roosting ecology and roost resource partitioning of megachiropteran bats in the plains of Tirunelveli and Tenkasi districts of Tamilnadu, South India, were investigated from January 2021 to December 2022. Three species of megachiropterans bats namely Pteropus medius, Cynopterus sphinx and Rosettus leschanaulti were recorded in the study area. P. medius roosts in open foliage on trees like Terminalia arjuna (46.90%), Samanea saman (13.53%), Ficus religiosa (12.09%), Ficus benghalensis (5.27%), Bassia latifolia (5.04%), Tamarindus indica (4.89%), Sygium cumini (4.71%), Manjifera Indica (2.32%), Thespesia populnea (1.93%), Pongamia pinnata (1.38%), Pithecellobium dulce (0.90%), Albizia lebbeck (0.74%), and Azadirachta indica (0.23%). C. sphinx roosts in Borassus flabellifer (68.55%), Polyalthia longifolia (25.90%) and Pritchardia pacifica (5.54%). Generally, the native trees are preferred by these bats as the favorite roost. R. leschanaulti prefers temples (56.52%), water wells (18.53%), stone buildings (17.16%) and abandoned houses (7.78%). Diversity measures with regard to Margalef index, Berger Parker index and Evenness index, comparatively; higher values were reported in C. sphinx (9.433), R. leschanaulti (0.270) and C. sphinx (0.925) respectively. The distribution pattern and roost preference of megachiropteran bats reveal that these bat species serve as bio-indicator of the agricultural landscape in the wetland ecosystem. It is evident that these three symbiotic bat species exhibit roost preference, and roost resources partitioning in the study area.

Alginate: Wastewater Treatment
Authors: Rafiee Farnaz
Published: April 2023

Human activities have led to the entry of various pollutants into rivers, seas, and oceans. Various methods are used to remove pollution, one of them is using biopolymers including alginate obtained from brown algae. Due to their special structure and physical properties, availability, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, they can be considered adsorption materials. Alginate hydrogel, composite, and nanocomposite could eliminate methyl violet dye and heavy metals, such as Pb2+, Cd2+, Sr2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Li2+, and Pb2+. The immobilized microalgal cells in alginate exhibited higher removal efficiency of pollutants from the wastewater as compared to the suspended free cells of microalgal culture and alginate alone. The immobilization of the microalgal cells using alginate could eliminate palm oil, ammonium, phosphate, etc. More research needs to be done but according to researchers, alginate can be a safe substance to remove pollutants from the environment.
Reducing Inequalities in the Coffee Value Chain: Threats and Opportunities for Small-Scale Farmers in Central America and East Africa
Authors: Fromm Ingrid
Published: April 2023

The global trade of agricultural commodities has increased in the last decades, creating economic growth opportunities in many areas of the world. However, for smallholder farmers producing commodities traded in global markets, there is mixed evidence of a positive economic impact, particularly in coffee production. Rural incomes in Central America have remained stagnated and for smallholder coffee producers in East Africa, farm gate prices often do not cover production costs. Poverty and food insecurity are issues impeding development in the region. Yet empirical evidence points at global value chains as a driver for income growth and development in emerging and developing countries. As pointed out in The State of Agricultural Commodity Market 2020 global trade and inclusive, well-functioning markets with lower trade barriers, opportunities for technological upgrading, and access to markets can spur sustainable development. In this chapter, a comparative analysis of the inequalities and factors hindering the economic growth of coffee farmers in Central America and East Africa will be provided.
Agronomic Biofortification of Millets: New Way to Alleviate Malnutrition
Authors: Kadapa Sreenivasareddy , Gunturi Alekhya , Gundreddy Rajareddy , Reddy Kalwala Srikanth , Bhaskar Mogallapu Uday
Published: April 2023

Biofortification or biological fortification refers to nutritionally enhanced food crops with increased bioavailability to the human population that are developed and grown using modern bio-technology techniques, conventional plant breeding, and agronomic practices. Our agricultural system has not been designed to promote human health; instead, it only focuses on increasing grain yield and crop productivity. This approach has resulted in a rapid rise in micronutrient deficiency in food grains, thereby increasing micronutrient malnutrition among consumers. Biofortification is a one-time investment and offers a cost-effective, long-term, and sustainable approach in fighting hidden hunger because once the biofortified crops are developed, there are no costs of buying the fortificants and adding them to the food supply during processing. Agronomic biofortification methods requires physical application of nutrients to temporarily improve the nutritional and health status of crops and consumption of such crops improves the human nutritional status. Soil and plant are managed by agronomic interventions. For the biofortification initiative to be successful, farmers use micronutrient fertilizers to fortified cultivars must get marketing support. Besides challenges the biofortification of millets have a promising future in combating the problem of malnutrition.

Authors: Gharebaghian Azar Hadi , Mahmoodi Azita , Ghasemi Azar , Mohammadi Hiwa
Published: April 2023

Background: Cardiac troponins T and I as markers of specific myocardial injury have been associated with acute ischemic stroke. Several mechanisms have been proposed as the possible cause of myocardial damage in stroke patients. The level of troponin and its association with electrocardiogram has not been studied yet among Kurdish population. Objectives: The present study evaluated troponin’s level and compliance with electrocardiogram findings among Kurdish patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods: Positive troponin was investigated among all acute ischemic stroke patients who were admitted to Imam Reza Hospital in Kermanshah from 21 March 2018 to 20 March 2019. Comprehensive electrocardiography examinations were performed and interpreted by a cardiologist and a neurologist. The presence of Q wave, T wave inversion, and ST-segment elevation or depression as evidence of coexisting cardiac ischemia were compared between patients with positive and a randomly selected group of patients with negative troponin. Results: A total of 13.2% of participants (n = 21) had atrial fibrillation (AF). One patient with positive troponin and 13.4% (n = 20) of patients with negative troponin had AF in their ECGs (P = 0.67). The frequency of other disorders, including T wave inversion, left branch bundle block, ST-segment elevation, and the presence of pathological Q wave, was 6.3% (n = 10), 5.7% (n = 9), 5% (n = 8), and 5% (n = 5), respectively. The results showed no significant relationship between positive (increase) or negative troponin with electrocardiogram abnormalities (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Since routine ECGs are obtained from all acute stroke patients, routine troponin measurements may not be necessary for all patients and can be limited to those with electrocardiographic abnormalities.
Legislation Committee as Law Center in the National Law Development
Authors: Baidowi Achmad
Published: May 2023

The shift in the DPR legislative function after the amendment of the UUDNRI 1945, which was previously owned by the President then become the DPR function brought major changes. This change, plays an important role in the process of checks and balances and in enhancing the development of national law quality. However, this change is still not optimal. As can be seen from the fact that the legislative products produced by the DPR are not yet maximal, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Optimizing Baleg's position as a Law Center with the support of reliable supporting staff is one way to improve legislative performance. So far Baleg's role in carrying out its duties has not been optimal due to various interests which have hindered the drafting of the National Legislation Program and the deliberation of the Bill and the absence of a road map in monitoring and reviewing laws. Baleg's position as a Law Center must be strengthened to minimize the obstacles that arise so that the Prolegnas that have been set can be realized. Baleg needs to make arrangement so that the implementation of its duties can be optimal and ultimately able to improve the performance of the DPR in carrying out its powers as legislators. A road map in post legislative scrutiny needs to be made so it is clear that the implementation can be carried out in a directed and measurable manner.

India’s rice-wheat cropping system (RWCS) is going through a paradigm shift to address resource degradation and sustainability issues. The increasing level of soil degradation has made soil biological health an important aspect of managing the problems of RWCS through understanding the role of microbes in enhancing soil health and by increasing the adoption of conservation agriculture-based practices. Our two-year study revealed that soil biological health, as measured by soil acetylene reductase activity (ARA), soil chlorophyll, microbial biomass carbon (MBC), soil dehydrogenase enzyme activity, and soil alkaline phosphatase activity (APA), was significantly impacted by the rice and wheat cultivation methods. The system of rice intensification (SRI) and zero tillage wheat (ZTW) system had significantly higher values for all the studied microbial parameters. The application of Anabaena-Pseudomonas biofilm formulation along with 75% recommended dose of nutrients (RDN) (90 kg N/ha and 19.35 kg phosphorus (P/ha) significantly improved all studied microbial parameters in both rice and wheat. The microbial properties such as dehydrogenase enzyme activity, alkaline phosphatase activity and microbial biomass carbon (MBC) had significantly higher values in treatment with RDN over 75% RDN indicating the role of optimal fertilization in soil biological health maintenance. A significant improvement in ARA and soil chlorophyll in inoculated treatment showed superior performance of inoculated microbes over inherent soil microbes in nitrogen fixation. The study of a combination of different rice and wheat cultivation methods and their influence in the long run on soil biological health in RWCS emphasizes the need for soil biological health maintenance considering its significant role in the system’s sustainability.

The present investigation was carried out at the Indian Institute of Rice Research farm, ICRISAT, Hyderabad with 31 genotypes of rice in a randomized block design with three replications, and observations were recorded on grain yield, yield components and quality characters. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the genotypes for all characters studied. The studies on variability, heritability and genetic advance as per cent mean thus revealed high GCV and PCV for grains panicle-1 and iron content. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent mean was recorded for plant height, ear bearing tillers plant-1, grains panicle-1, grain yield plant-1 and iron content indicating, the effectiveness of simple selection for improvement of these traits. The results on character associations and path analysis revealed positive and significant association coupled with high positive direct effect for ear bearing tillers plant-1, panicle length, grains panicle-1, and amylose content indicating the effectiveness of direct selection for these traits in the improvement of grain yield plant-1. However, for test weight, days to 50 percent flowering, plant height, head rice recovery (%), and zinc content, indirect effects seemed to be the cause of correlation, while for days to maturity, protein and iron content, the use of restricted simultaneous selection model is suggested with restrictions imposed for nullifying the undesirable indirect effects in order to make use of the high positive direct effect observed for these traits on grain yield plant-1.
His Neighbor’s Wife
Authors: Starchman Bryan ,   After Dinner Conversation
Published: April 2023

What is fair and equitable justice? Is the point of justice to deter crime, to punish those that commit a crime, or to educate criminals so they can integrate successfully back into society? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, the country has chosen to adopt the “Law Of Vindication.” If a drunk driver hits and kills someone with their car, their punishment is to be hit and killed with a car. The same reciprocal punishments exist for all serious crimes. Furthermore, it is a crime to not assist the government, when necessary, in providing reciprocal punishment. The parents of a murdered child MUST murder the child of their killer. In this story, the narrator is in an unhappy marriage and decides his best chance of getting away with killing his wife is to kill his neighbor’s wife and wait for the law of retribution to require that his wife be killed as punishment. Of course, things don’t go quite as planned, and the law is interpreted differently than he expects.
Standpoints: A Study of a Metaphysical Picture
Authors: Lipman Martin A. ,   Journal of Philosophy Inc.
Published: April 2023

There is a type of metaphysical picture that surfaces in a range of philosophical discussions, is of intrinsic interest, and yet remains ill-understood. According to this picture, the world contains a range of standpoints relative to which different facts obtain. Any true representation of the world cannot but adopt a particular standpoint. The aim of this paper is to propose a regimentation of a metaphysics that underwrites this picture. Key components are a factive notion of metaphysical relativity, a deflationary notion of adopting standpoints, and two kinds of valid inference, one that allows one to abandon standpoints and one that does not. To better understand how theories formulated in terms of this framework are situated in dialectical space, I sketch a theory in the philosophy of time that admits both temporal and atemporal standpoints.

Covid – 19 Pandemic and Its Influence on The Level of Preparedness of Graduating Students for The Upcoming Licensure Examination
Authors: Pardiñas Patric Carl , Tañegra Kayla Mae , Onsay Emmanuel
Published: May 2023

Preparedness plays an essential role in taking the licensure examination, but due to the implications of the Covid -19 pandemic on the general population, many are concerned about its influence on the student's level of preparedness for their upcoming licensure examination. This study investigated whether the Covid -19 pandemic and the students' demographic profile influence their financial, mental, academic, and learning environment preparedness. An online survey questionnaire was distributed to the graduating students enrolled in Partido State University board courses during 2022-2023. The collected data was analyzed using ordinal logistic regression. The responses showed that financial, learning environment, mental, and academic preparedness received weighted means of 2.67, 3.46, 2.99, and 2.42, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Covid -19 influence received an overall weighted mean of 5.01. These findings indicate that most students believe their financial, mental, and academic preparedness levels are low, while they perceive their environmental preparedness level as high. Despite this, most believe that the Covid - 19 pandemic was somewhat influential and beneficial to their preparedness. Lastly, the ordinal regression model revealed that only the age of the students is statistically significant at 10%. In contrast, the rest of the variables regarding the socio-demographic profile of the students and the perceived Covid -19 influence are not significant at all levels.

Published: May 2023

Older people are encouraged to participate more in the economic, social, and governmental sectors as part of progressive aging policies worldwide. Very little is known about applying engagement techniques or carrying out strategies in Bangladesh that are important for involving seniors in social engagement. Therefore, this qualitative research was conducted in Dhaka, Bangladesh, among 385 people aged sixty or above to assess their understanding of the quality of life and the gap in government policy. Results showed that between 60 and 65 were more mobile, creative, engaged in productive activity, and had significantly higher decision-making power (p<0.000). Aging greatly enhances dependency (p<0.000). Lower-educated people were significantly dependent on their families (p<0.000).
Moreover, elderly income and the cost of treatment were significantly correlated to abuse (p<0.001). Furthermore, 10% of participants reported negative relationships with family members (p<0.031).  However, most (61.6%) were unaware of the 2013 Parent's Care Act. Though most participants (73.2%) knew of the government-funded Old Age Allowance, 92.5% received no non-governmental assistance. The research concluded that education and economic condition have a long-term relationship with reducing dependency. In recommendation, Government can increase the retirement age from 59 to 65 years which may increase self of security, respect, and self-esteem and reduce harassment. Parent's Care Act 2013 should implement. Government should include Community Health and Social Service centers for the quality of life of the elderly.
A Case Study on Teacher’s Challenges on Inclusive Mathematics Classes in a Secondary Public School
Authors: Culajara Juan Paolo Martin , Culajara Carla Jobelle
Published: May 2023

Inclusive education became the mainstream educational system in the Philippines. The study used a qualitative research design employing a case study approach. Two Mathematics teachers were observed and interviewed. Purposive sampling was used to choose the participants. Data gathering is carried out through open-ended questions, interviews, and observation. Three themes emerged in the study: lack of ASL training, personalization in pedagogy, and upskilling teachers’ competency in inclusive education. This study reveals that learning should not be constrained and can be attained when everyone collaborates. It was evident that teaching is a continuous process that should not be interrupted because teaching is the noblest profession. Teachers and administrators should offer programs, projects, and activities connected to pedagogy, addressing diversity and personalizing in providing excellent services since inclusive education is now available within the educational system. It is recommended in the study to strengthen and expand inclusive education so that each student can be given more priority in accessing education for all, give them more possibilities and opportunities to address their differences, and strengthen their inherent capabilities as valuable members of society. The study seeks to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on inclusive education by exploring the experiences and perspectives of educators in the field.
A reassessment of the Neotropical genus Pseudonannolene Silvestri, 1895: cladistic analysis, biogeography, and taxonomic review (Spirostreptida: Pseudonannolenidae)
Authors: Iniesta Luiz Felipe Moretti , Bouzan Rodrigo Salvador , Brescovit Antonio Domingos
Published: April 2023

In order to provide a reassessment of the Neotropical genus Pseudonannolene Silvestri, 1895, a cladistic analysis, biogeographic analysis, and taxonomic review were conducted in the present work. For the cladistic approach, 91 morphological characters were scored for 53 terminals as the ingroup and 10 as the outgroup. Three synapomorphies support the monophyly of the genus: presence of a longitudinal suture on the promentum, penial bases partially fused, and the internal branch of the gonopods surrounding the telopodite; and two homoplastic transformations: the lateral lobe of the collum densely striated and setae present up to the apical portion of the prefemoral process on the first leg-pair of males. The genus Pseudonannolene is recovered as sister-group of Epinannolene Brölemann, 1903 (Pseudonannoleninae). A total of 226 occurrence points were recorded for Pseudonannolene, with the majority of records from the Chacoan subregion, composed by Araucaria Forest, Atlantic, and Parana Forest provinces. The biogeographical searches using the Geographically explicit Event Model recovered two biogeographic reconstructions (cost of 79 000), with the vicariance events occurring more frequently in the deep clades, whereas sympatry and points of sympatry occurred in more inclusive clades. The first reconstruction recovered four vicariances, 13 sympatries, 4 points of sympatry, and 21 founder events, and the second reconstruction recovered four vicariances, 12–13 sympatries, 4–5 points of sympatry, and 21 founder events. The genus Pseudonannolene comprises 56 species, including 8 new species herein described: P. alata sp. nov., P. aurea sp. nov., P. bucculenta sp. nov., P. curvata sp. nov., P. granulata sp. nov., P. insularis sp. nov., P. morettii sp. nov., and P. nicolau sp. nov.; P. brevis Silvestri, 1902 and P. rugosetta Silvestri, 1897 are regarded as species inquirendae; a neotype of P. alegrensis Silvestri, 1897 is here proposed with male described for the first time. The following taxa are synonymized: P. canastra Gallo & Bichuette, 2020 and P. saguassu Iniesta & Ferreira, 2013 with P. ambuatinga Iniesta & Ferreira, 2013; P. marconii Iniesta & Ferreira, 2013 with P. longicornis (Porat, 1888); P. chaimowiczi Fontanetti, 1996, P. gogo Iniesta & Ferreira, 2013, P. rosineii Iniesta & Ferreira, 2014, P. taboa Iniesta & Ferreira, 2014, and P. longissima Iniesta & Ferreira, 2014 with P. microzoporus Mauriès, 1987; P. tricolor gracilis Brölemann, 1902 and P. tricolor rugosus Schubart, 1945 with P. tricolor Brölemann, 1902; P. auguralis Silvestri, 1902 with P. rocana Silvestri, 1902; and P. abbreviata Silvestri, 1902 with P. typica Silvestri, 1895. P. inops Brölemann, 1929 is proposed here as new status from P. bovei inops. A dichotomous identification key is presented to facilitate the species identification.

The informants in this study were Fiqh teachers and class VII students. Data collection techniques in this study were observation, interviews and documentation. Based on the results of the research that the authors have done, the results show that: learning strategies based on multiple intelligences implemented by Fiqh teachers are using tests, observing student activities inside and outside the classroom, collecting and understanding student documentation data and planning the learning process. In the implementation carried out by Fiqh teachers, the intelligence developed is linguistic intelligence, bodily-kinestic intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence. In its implementation students are facilitated by methods that are in accordance with student intelligence. So it can be concluded that of the five implementations of the learning strategies used by Fiqh teachers in class only fulfill two points of implementation, this is the reason why Fiqh teachers still find students not active in the learning process. Supporting factors for the implementation of learning strategies based on multiple intelligences are facilities and infrastructure that are almost complete so as to support the learning process using learning strategies based on multiple intelligences. The inhibiting factors for the implementation of learning strategies based on multiple intelligences are the lack of learning time and incomplete facilities.
