The ostrich meat is considered healthy as it contains low cholesterol and fat levels. Foodborne diseases caused by the bacterium Salmonellaare a significant public health concern. The study was conducted to determine the prevalence, the risk factors involved, and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Salmonella isolates recovered from captive ostrich feces in the district of Lahore, Pakistan. There is not a single research on this issue in Pakistan up to date in ostrich. A total of 100 ostrich fecal samples were collected- and specifically cultured on Salmonella Shigella agar. The antimicrobial susceptibility was checked for different antibiotics throughthe Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. The 21% fecal samples were found positive for Salmonella. The disease was found to besignificantly(p<0.05) associated with risk factors; water type(p=0.027), bird’s capacity(p=0.042), cage hygiene(p=0.024), age of bird(p=0.041) andother bird species around (p=0.031) while enclosure size and diet were found non-significant. The bacterium was found highly susceptible to Amoxicillin followed by Chloramphenicol, Gentamicin, Cefotaxime, andEnrofloxacin respectively.Further Salmonella species-level diagnostic studies along with susceptibility checks of more therapeutic agents are suggested to future researchers.
In-silico characterization of meristem defective (MDF) protein associated with regulation of root meristems in Arabidopsis thaliana
Authors: Muccee Fatima
Published: January 2025

Meristem defective protein (MDF) plays its role in proper development of meristem patterns in Arabidopsis through regulation of auxins homeostasis. It also enables plants to survive in stress. Present study was designed to characterize MDF protein in A. thaliana to get an insight into its molecular aspects. Sequence of protein was retrieved from uniprot database and subjected to CELLO, SOPMA, SWISSMODEL, MEME server and SRING tools. The protein was also docked with four proteins i. e. SR4, RSZ33, PLT1, 2 and 3. The protein was found to localize in nucleus with secondary structure comprising of alpha helix (47.20%), extended strand (6.34%), beta turn (5.37%) and random coil (41.10%). MDF was analyzed as a conserved protein with monomeric structure. Proteins observed as interacting partners of MDF included STA1, T13D8.9, LSM5, LSM2, LSM4 and LSM8. Docking analysis revealed highest and lowest affinities of MDF binding with RS4, RZS33, PLT1, PLT2 and PLT3 in case of FGRTLTPKEAFRLLSHKFHG and IQGQTTHTFEDLNSSAKVSSDYFSQ conserved motifs, respectively. Features of MDF protein explored in this investigation can be exploited for engineering and production of plants with efficient root meristems development.

Published: January 2025

The study was conducted to monitor the transformation of Bahawalnagar Landscape due to Climate Change through GIS & RS techniques. Data was collected from the past 30 years from 1990 to 2020 with a 10-year interval. Similarly, climate data, which includes temperature and rainfall also collected for respective years. With the help of supervised classification, NDVI, and NDBI, it is revealed that change occurred in the landscape in the proceeding years. The built-up land increased with the passage of time. Similarly, open land and water resources are reduced with time due to low rainfall, which declines the ratio of water sources from 1990 to 2020. So, in 2020, the construction area showed a further increase and covered 20.04%, agricultural land increased to 1.46% and open land decreased by 18.58% (the decrease in open land portion is directly linked with built-up and a small portion with agricultural land) and water bodies decreased by 2.8% in the thirty-year time period. Comparison graphs and figures further highlight the relation of climate change with the landscape. The relationship has a direct link such as high temperature reducing the agricultural land and change occurring more. In the same way, low rainfall also changes or fluctuates the landscape pattern of Bahawalnagar. In short, recommendations have been given to minimize the impacts of climate on the landscape.

Published: January 2025

This study investigates the effectiveness of water sprinkling in reducing PM10 levels in Lahore, Pakistan. The data collected over a period of several days shows that water sprinkling significantly reduces PM10 concentrations in the air. The average PM10 value before water sprinkling was consistently above the PEQS, indicating poor air quality. However, after water sprinkling, the average PM10 value decreased by 49%, demonstrating a substantial improvement in air quality.
The most notable reduction in PM10 levels was observed during the immediate hours following water sprinkling, suggesting that its effectiveness is most pronounced in the short term. However, the reduction gradually decreased over time as the dust particles settled and the moisture evaporated.
While water sprinkling is a viable method for reducing fugitive dust pollution, it is important to consider its limitations and potential drawbacks. Excessive water use can lead to waterlogging and other environmental issues, and its effectiveness may be limited during dry seasons or in regions with limited water resources. Therefore, a combination of control measures, including proper wetting of dusty areas, covering stockpiles of materials, and using dust suppressants, is essential for achieving long-term improvements in air quality.

This study investigates the optimization of removal of phenol concentration from wastewater using activated biochar and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Peanut shell activated biochar (PSAB), rice husk activated biochar (RHAB) and sugar cane activated biochar (SCAB) are used for phenol removal from wastewater. The focus was on identifying the optimal conditions for each activated biochar to achieve maximum phenol removal efficiency. Parameters such as pH, does of biochar and contact time were varied systematically to assess their impact on the removal process. The peanut shell biochar generally shows 97.36% at pH 8, 1.75 grams of biochar does, and 37.5 minutes of shaking time. Sugar cane biochar demonstrates moderate performance, with removal percentages peaking at 86.76% at pH 8, a lower biochar dose, and a longer contact time of 60 minutes. Rice husk biochar consistently achieves high phenol removal rates as compared to PSAB and RHAB, with maximum effectiveness at 99.24% under similar conditions but with an initial pH of 4 and a slightly higher biochar dose of 3 grams. These findings highlight the critical influence of operational parameters on the effectiveness of phenol removal using different activated biochars.

As an essential component of strategic changes at the national economic level, the process of transformations in industries plays a vital role in creating a favourable environment for attracting investments, developing new technologies, and improving the population’s quality of life. This article aimed to determine the features of the formed industry structure of the national economy through an assessment of factors that influence the provision of strategic changes in the sectors of the national economy to determine the direction of strengthening the innovation component of industry transformations. The economic aspects of strategic changes at the national economy level are identified and analysed, considering the features of the country’s innovation, investment, and environmental policies, the productivity of innovations themselves, and the involvement of businesses in the innovation process. An analysis of the level of development of innovation factors that influence the provision of strategic changes in the sectors of the national economy of the studied countries is presented. The assessment of factors influencing the provision of strategic changes in the branches of the national economy (16 factors) was carried out using the construction of an economic and mathematical model. The results obtained showed a direct dependence of strategic changes in national economies on innovation factors. The exception were the factors of state environmental policy and education financing. In the economy of Ukraine, a decrease in the activity of innovation factors was revealed, except for the production potential of business. Focusing on this system of factors will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of modern requirements and management capabilities for ensuring strategic changes in sectors of the national economy through mechanisms of innovative development

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer system that performs perception, reasoning, learning, and language abilities similar to humans, making it a core technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Particularly, generative AI, which creates new content such as text, images, and music through large-scale data learning, has garnered significant attention. This technology utilizes artificial neural networks and machine learning to understand user intentions, learn from data, and generate various types of content. AI is defined as a technology that implements human intelligence-related functions such as learning, cognition, and reasoning using the concepts and tools of computer science. This study aims to analyze the impact of AI-based UTAUT2 characteristics on user satisfaction. The research targets general consumers who use AI services, and statistical analysis was conducted using Smart PLS 4.0. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of UTAUT2 characteristics in the context of artificial intelligence (AI) on user satisfaction. The research subjects were general consumers who use AI services, and statistical analysis was conducted using Smart PLS 4.0. The results of the study are as follows. First, performance expectancy had a significant positive effect on behavioral intention. Second, effort expectancy had a significant positive effect on behavioral intention. Third, social influence did not have a significant positive effect on behavioral intention. Fourth, facilitating conditions did not have a significant positive effect on behavioral intention. Fifth, trust had a significant positive effect on behavioral intention. Sixth, personal innovativeness had a significant positive effect on behavioral intention. Seventh, behavioral intention had a significant positive effect on actual system use. Eighth, actual system use had a significant positive effect on user satisfaction. Therefore, this study empirically verified the relationships between AI technology’s behavioral intention, actual system use, and user satisfaction based on the UTAUT2 model. Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, trust, and personal innovativeness were identified as significant factors influencing the acceptance intention of AI technology. Furthermore, behavioral intention was shown to lead to actual system use, which, in turn, positively influenced user satisfaction. Based on these findings, AI technology developers and companies should enhance user experience, build trust, and strengthen technical support to maximize AI technology adoption and user satisfaction.
