Published: December 2023

A study was carried out to assess the storage potential of onion genotypes under natural as well as accelerated ageing conditions. Freshly harveted seeds of thirty onion genotypes were subjected to nine months of natural ageing as well as accelerated ageing for 3 and 6 days (42oC and 75% RH). Significant effects of seed ageing on germination percent, seed vigour index, mean germination time and germination index were recorded. Germination percent ranged from 56.0- 96.0 percent in unaged seeds, which declined to 31.0-82.0 and 18.0-83.0 percent respectively after natural (9 months) and accelerated ageing treatments (6 days). In the current study, the seed germination and vigour indices decreased significantly, whereas the mean germination time increased for all the genotypes under both ageing treatments. Further, cluster analysis was utilized to categorize the onion genotypes into good or poorer storers. A significant and positive correlation was found among both natural as well as artificial ageing treatments. The study facilitated the categorization of onion genotypes into distinct storage groups by evaluating their performance under both natural as well as accelerated ageing.

Published: December 2023

Organic and natural farming are considered as an alternative to modern agriculture for sustaining soil and environmental health, and better quality of agricultural produce free from pesticide residues. The consumer concern for the same is more for vegetables and fruits as they generally are consumed raw and have higher frequency of purchase.  Field experiments were conducted in northwest India during 2018 and 2019 to evaluate the performance of pea-okra- radish cropping system under organic and natural farming practices with paddy straw mulch and no-mulch conditions. The treatments consisted of farmyard manure (FYM) to supply recommended nitrogen to the crops, natural farming practices-250 kg FYM/ha + on-farm preparations (NF), FYM + NF and FYM + vermicompost (VC). The FYM, FYM + NF and FYM + VC were at par with each other but were significantly superior to NF and unfertilized control in respect of economic yields of all the crops. The economic yields of pea, okra, and radish were 40.11, 46.48 and 25.99 per cent higher with FYM than NF. Paddy straw mulch gave significantly higher economic yields (11.10, 12.56 and 19.28 per cent in pea, okra and radish) compared to no-mulch. Though the economic yields were higher with FYM + NF but the benefit-cost ratios for all the crops were higher with FYM alone due to higher cost of production in other treatments.

Published: December 2023

An investigation was carried out to initiate in vitro mutagenesis in banana cv. Grand Naine shoot tip culture. Based on the sensitivity of explants, the lethal dose was estimated using probit analysis. The LD50 dose of gamma irradiation of the banana shoot tip culture was determined to be 39.5 Gy. It was also discovered that the number of new shoots rose with the number of subculture days, with the largest number of shoots recorded at 40 Gy. The study also discovered that when 13 DAS explants were treated with 10 Gy, they recovered the greatest number of shoots. As a result of the negative effects of higher doses of irradiation, it was decided that determining the lethal dose can be very beneficial in reducing population loss. Its further optimization may be effective in developing significant variations with a certain trait of interest.

Published: December 2023

Local strain of Tagetes patula L. was used for in vitro androgenesis with floret size ranging from 2 to 4.5 mm. One haploid from anther derived regenerants was isolated and confirmed by cytological analysis and chloroplast counting. The isolated haploid was further multiplied and were subjected to colchicine treatment (0.005%, 0.01%, 0.02% for 36 and 48 hours) using nodal segment explants under in vitro conditions. The results revealed that treatment T1- Colchicine (0.005%) for 36 hours exposure was found good for parameters like percent survival (81.22%), percent diploidization (48.00%), leaf length (3.77 cm), leaf width (2.49 cm), number of shoots per plant (9.89) followed by treatment T2- Colchicine (0.005%) for 48 hours exposure for parameters like percent survival (69.67%), percent diploidization (37.22%), leaf length (3.56 cm), leaf width (1.97 cm), number of shoots per plant (8.67). Cytological analysis and chloroplast counting in stomatal guard cells was done for determination of ploidy level in colchicine treated haploid plantlets. The results revealed that in cytological analysis out of 38 plants screened, 26 plants (68.4%) were tetraploids and 12 plants (31.57%) were polyploids. Whereas through chloroplast counting, 38 plants screened out of which 26 plants (68.4%) were tetraploids with mean of 16 chloroplasts in the guard cells and 12 plants (31.57%) were polyploids with mean of 18 to 22 chloroplasts in the guard cells.

Published: December 2023

Cucumber growers suffer significant economic losses due to yield reductions caused by pest such as fruit fly and diseases like powdery mildew, and downy mildew. Therefore, one of the greatest ways to reduce losses caused by these pressures is to grow resistant cultivars. The objective of this study was to estimate important genetic parameters to approximate inbred line performance in the F1 generation, and to identify appropriate F1 cross combinations resistant to these biotic stresses. Thirty F1 hybrid combinations were screened, along with 13 parents (ten diverse stable lines and three testers), and a standard check. The genotypes UHF-CUC-11, UHF-CUC-13, UHF-CUC-6, UHF-CUC-15, UHF-CUC-8, Solan Srijan and F1 cross-combinations UHF-CUC-11 × Solan Srijan, UHF-CUC-13 × Solan Srijan, UHF-CUC-6 × K-75, UHF-CUC-15 × Solan Srijan and UHF-CUC-8 × Solan Srijan were found superior for these biotic stresses in the experimental results. Additionally, the predominance of non-additive gene activity due to genetic complementation between parents suggests that heterosis breeding could be helpful in enhancing these features in cucumber. Therefore, the present study's identification of resistant parents and hybrid combinations can be used to introduce the resistance genes into the necessary elite backgrounds of cucumber for the generation of biotic stress resistant varieties/hybrids.

Published: December 2023

Wellens syndrome refers to typical clinical electrophysiological presentation in patient with critical LAD stenosis . This rare entity is often missed if unrecognized and has considerable implications due to critical stenosis associated with it. It is also knwon as “The Widow Maker”. It is further divided into Type A and B, type A is recognized by biphasic T-waves in leads V2 and V3, while Type B is characterized by deeply symmetrical T-wave inversions in leads V2 and V3, often including leads V1 and V4 and sometimes leads V5 and V6 . It is important to recognize this as symptoms are intermittent and often do not correlate with clinical severity. PCI is the management of choice. Here we present a case of Wellens syndrome who presented in our Institute with typical history found associated with it.

Published: December 2023

A 45 years old female presented with mild persistent nonproductive cough since past oneyear, andshortness of breath (SOB) with recently detected hypertension and diabetes since 3 months. The patient also mentioned hot flushes since last one month. She remained on home quarantine without oxygen support for COVID-19 in the year 2020. She was advised anti-TB in 2021which she stopped due to intolerance. All routine investigations were essentially normal except RBS 160 mg/dl and HbA1C which was 8.5%. She was regularly taking antihypertensive and anti-diabetic drugs. Chest x-ray revealed left cardiac silhouette due to collapse of lingular segment, which was confirmed with CECT thorax. BAL, brush cytology and biopsy were carried out with fiberoptic bronchoscopy, revealing a smooth polypoid mass obstructing the lingular segmental bronchus. Histopathology reported it as a typical carcinoid. The case was referred for surgical intervention. There was a delay in diagnosis in this case, as there was past history of COVID-19 infection and was misinterpreted as its sequelae; wrong diagnosis and empirical treatment for tuberculosis and the association of diabetes and systemic hypertension makes this case worthy for presentation.

Published: December 2023

The article delves into the prevalent issue of refractive errors, a common visual problem affecting a substantial portion of the global population, and particularly emphasizes its growing occurrence among school-going children. The surge in digital device usage due to the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified concerns, as extended screen time contributes in worsening the existing problem of poor vision. The article underscores the multifaceted impact of unaddressed refractive errors on children, including hindered academic performance, impaired social interactions, and a sedentary lifestyle. Socioeconomic and demographic factors play a role in the prevalence of refractive errors, with limited access to eye care services disproportionately affecting lower-income families. The importance of early diagnosis and intervention is highlighted to prevent unwanted consequences. A significant portion of the article explores the potential role of yoga in mitigating refractive errors. Yoga's holistic approach, incorporating eye exercises, mindfulness, stress reduction, and outdoor practice, offers promise in promoting eye health. While acknowledging that yoga may not correct refractive errors, the article emphasizes its potential to reduce eye strain caused by screen time and near-work activities, ultimately fostering healthier habits and overall well-being in children. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for complementary practices alongside standard eye care to ensure children's visual health and academic success while suggesting that embracing yoga could be a step toward safeguarding children's eye health and quality of life.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: An air space of >1cm and air space occupying >1/3 of hemithorax are called as bullae and Giant Pulmonary Bullae (GPB), respectively. GPBs are rare and usually accompany smoking abuse-related diseases. The GPB may lead to hypoxia and or mass-like compression effect on neighboring healthy lung and mediastinum. The bullectomy is the gold standard but in surgically unfit cases one has to select result result-oriented, minimal-invasive procedure with considering risk and benefit.Case report: A 27-year-old chest symptomatic female with idiopathic GPB occupying most of the right hemithorax with herniation to the contralateral side was detected on CT thorax with low cardiac ejection fraction on ECHO. A tremendously improved cardiac ejection fraction from 30 to 58% was achieved after a simple percutaneous intracavitary placement of a pigtail catheter with an underwater seal carried out with local anesthesia. Also, she could be weaned off from O2 support.Discussion: In a surgical unfit case of GPB the number of bullae, its size, site, and location (unilateral or bilateral) with evaluation of the underlying condition of lung and comorbidity is a prerequisite for intervention. An alternate minimally invasive procedure is to have opted to decompress the GPB. Spontaneous pneumothorax is the most common complication GPB, even without a percutaneous procedural approach, and can easily be managed with an underwater seal drainage tube.Conclusion: The GPB may lead to chronic hypoxia and a mass-like effect, so to avoid life-threatening emergency situations decompression of GPB be considered followed by resection

Zakat is a philanthropic activity Zakat is a philanthropic activity with huge prospects and usage, yet there is a significant gap between its economic potential and its actualization; according to BAZNAS, in 2020 Indonesia's zakat fund only utilized 4.3% of its potential. Moreover, the majority of Zakat funds are acquired through conventional channels; in 2019, only 13% of IZI's total Zakat funds came from digital channels, while 87% came from traditional channels.  One of the reasons for this is that muzak (people who must pay zakat) are not proficient in using digital platforms, and the community is unaware of exactly what to do. Also, when it comes to collecting zakat funds, their administration and distribution to ashraf or mustahik (those who qualify to receive zakat funds), their accurate distribution, and staff members not using digital tools. The objective of this study is to find answers that will help us figure out what the Zakat IZI management system needs to accomplish to become digitally transformed and how it can be improved and gained. This research is a case study with qualitative methods. We collect data for this study using a variety of methods, such as interviews, literature reviews, and document analysis.

Authors: Lu Sally , Pamadi Mulia
Published: December 2023

Infrastructure projects, such as greenhouse construction, are necessary for economic growth. Effective project control is essential, especially in managing budgets and ensuring timely completion. The Earned Value (EVM) method is used in construction project control because it integrates costs, time, and work progress. This allows for the identification of potential cost and time overruns. Data on expenditures and project-related documentation are gathered for analysis. Work plans and project schedules determine the value of work yet to be completed. The research findings up to the 10th month indicate that the projected total cost for completing the project is IDR 10,773,835,000. This leaves 8% of the total budgeted value as the remaining project budget. According to the data reported in the 11th month, the projected project completion time is 334 days. This is approximately 304 days ahead of the planned schedule. In summary, the EVM method is a valuable tool for project control in the construction industry. It can help to identify potential cost and time overruns and ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget.
Examining the Direct and Indirect Impacts of E-Supply Chain Implementation on Performance: A Collaborative Approach
Authors: Sheyadi Anwar Al , Shaukat Muhammad Rehan
Published: December 2023

The paper examines both the direct and indirect impact of implementing E-Supply Chain Management (E-SC) practices on performance of Omani manufacturing firms.  A Structural Equation Modelling analysis was conducted based on a large scale survey applied to 108 manufacturing firms. Results of the research revealed that E-SC practices had a direct positive effect on both business and operational performance, where their direct effects on operational performance was stronger than their effect on business performance.  The results also showed that while the indirect effect of E-SC on operational performance was partially supported, a full indirect effect between E-SC and business performance was found.  Our findings imply that although a substitutive implementation of various types of E-SC can lead to marginal positive performance outcomes, achieving substantial performance outcomes might require more collaborative and highly coordinated approach of implementing these practices.  Several other theoretical and practical insights are provided by the findings of this paper on understanding the potential benefits of the direct and indirect implementation of E-SC practices.
V2G from Electric School Buses: The Impact on Children, Communities and Supply Chain Management
Authors: Prakash Pallav
Published: December 2023

Electric vehicles (EVs) are rapidly acquiring significance in the day-to-day lives of the masses and so is the vehicle to grid technology (V2G). While nations across the globe are pushing for rapid adoption, they have to first address the challenges of grid overload and shutdown and intermittency of electricity supply from renewable sources. V2G technology provides a respite but is not without drawbacks. The electric school buses (ESBs), that remain idle for most part of the day, have emerged as the preferred choice in implementing V2G with obvious health, environmental and economic advantages. ESBs may appear initially as the new solution to public transportation, but it will affect our lives in many aspects besides being the environmental solution to public transportation. These EVs can be used for multifaceted functionalities than just being restricted to be a charging tool, a load balancer for the Grid or just as a means of transportation. In our digitized world the need for uninterrupted energy has attained a lot of importance. Innumerable solutions and diversified usage of EVs can be innovated from EVs existing energy sources (the batteries) to its in-built technological systems. The V2G concept, combined with smart grid technologies, offers an optimal system for the realization of the benefits offered to users, utilities, economics and the environment by electric vehicles. Electric school buses (ESB) can be used effectively to build a cleaner supply chain. This article delves into the benefits that ESBs confer upon school children, upon the communities and the economy. The health, environmental and economic benefits outweigh the initial costs involved with acquisition and usage of ESB fleet. The sustainability of using the V2G technology using school buses in supply chain management, especially where the supply chain is spread across remains a concern and warrants further research. Nevertheless, beyond a doubt, electric school buses will play a significant role so far as improving the health of the children and communities and reducing emission of pollutants is concerned.
Managing Complex Supply Chains: Lessons from Military Logistics
Authors: Sharma Arjun
Published: December 2023

The prerogative of modern life is the door-step delivery of the desired products within days or a few hours of placing the order with the vendor/s. This necessitates the creation, maintenance and management of an efficient network of people and processes for production and timely delivery of the product in demand – a robust supply chain. The article is a comprehensive approach towards modern supply chain management. The purpose of this article is to illustrate the complexities faced by commercial organization in managing their supply chains, especially the ones that are spread across the globe. This article explains how the commercial world can learn from the military the ways to handle their supply chains effectively even in disruptive situations such as diseases and natural disasters in order to ensure non disruption of operations. Supply chains being lifeline of any business it pays to learn from those who are the best in managing supply chains under dire circumstances. Though blindly copying and trying to replicate supply chain management (SCM) practices adopted by the military may prove futile, a modified version to suit company-specific needs will make important differences in the efficiency of commercial operation of enterprises. We scrutinized an assortment of secondary sources including peer reviewed journal, magazines, online publications, books and newspapers to arrive at this conclusion.

In traditional medicine, medicinal plants are often used to treat a wide range of infectious diseases in humans. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the phytochemicals contained in thirteen parts of six Yemeni medicinal plants: Artemisia Judaica, Ficus carica L., Nerium oleander L., Olea europaea, Santolina chamaecyparissus L. and Withania somnifera and to investigate the antimicrobial activity of different concentrations of methanol extracts from the aerial part of the selected plants against S. saprophyticus, Salmonella and E. coli in vitro. Methods: Phytochemical screening was carried out using standard procedures and the antibacterial activity of different extracts of each plant was studied by agar well diffusion method. Results: Phytochemical analysis of the plant extracts revealed the presence of phenols, saponins, essential oils, flavonoids, steroids, tannins, cardiac glycosides and alkaloids. The occurrence of phytochemicals varied from plant to plant. Tannins and phenols were found in all samples, while all other test samples contained at least five of the phytochemicals tested. Almost all extracts were able to inhibit the growth of the bacterial strains, with the exception of the species S. saprophyticus, which was resistant to the methanolic extracts of A. judaica and F. carica L. However, the methanol extract (0.1 g/ml) of S. chamaecyparissus L. and O. europaea showed the largest zone of inhibition (35 mm and 20 mm, respectively) against S. saprophyticus. This is the first report on the antibacterial activity of S. chamaecyparissus L. species against S. saprophyticus. Conclusions: The present screening result shows that the methanol extract of the tested traditional Yemeni medicinal plants exhibits potent antibacterial activity, and the studied plants may represent a new source for the discovery of novel antibacterial compounds for the treatment of drug-resistant human pathogens.

Published: December 2023

Background: Aspartame is a widely used synthetic sweetener used for dietary control and by diabetics. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effect of a single garlic clove extract against aspartame-induced hepatotoxicity in diabetic rats. Methods: Forty-eight experimental male albino rats were randomly divided into eight groups (6 rats per group) as follows: Group (G)1: served as normal control and received distilled water orally, G2: rats treated with single clove garlic (SCG) extract (0.5 g/kg body weight), G3: rats were treated with SCG extract (0.5 g/kg body weight) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (200 mg/kg body weight), G4: rats treated with ASP (200 mg/kg body weight), G5: was the diabetic control group (induced by alloxan (ALX) 120 mg/kg body weight), G6: diabetic rats were treated with SCG extract (0.5 g/kg body weight), G7: diabetic rats were treated with SCG extract (0.5 g/kg body weight) and ASP (200 mg/kg body weight) and G8: diabetic rats were treated with ASP 200 mg/kg body weight. Results: The results obtained showed that treatment with ASP caused a significant increase in serum levels of serum alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), and ASP in SCG extract-treated rats in G3 and G4 and diabetic rats in G7 and G8, while treatment with SCG extract caused a significant decrease in serum levels of ALT, AST and ALP in SCG treated rats in G2 and G6 and diabetic rats in G7 compared to the control group (G1). After treatment with ASP, histologic changes in the liver were observed in G4, which were more pronounced in G8, indicating liver damage compared to the control group, while treatment with SCG extract showed further changes in liver tissue in the diabetic rats of G7 and G8. Conclusion: The present study suggests that administering ASP in normal rats leads to liver dysfunction. Moreover, our results proved that the application of ASP in diabetic rats may cause additional damage compared to ASP in normal rats. This study demonstrated that treatment with SCG extract significantly attenuated the biochemical and histopathologic changes induced by ASP and alloxan. From the data obtained, it appears that treatment with SCG extract has a protective effect against the toxicity of ASF and alloxan on the liver of normal and diabetic rats.
