Published: September 2022

In order to develop reasonable measures to counteract the destructive consequences of economic crises or to prevent them, it is important to build reasonable and adequate models of the emergence and course of crisis processes. The formal compliance of existing models with socio-economic processes during the crisis is often incomplete or cannot be adapted to other conditions, economies, and markets. Therefore, the article is devoted to the expediency and possibility of transformation of the existing paradigm of modeling economic crises.Modeling the interdependence of two basic indicators, which characterize the crisis in the economic development of European countries (GDP growth rates and employment growth rates), refuted the possibility of their mutual determination. The interdependence of the dynamics of GDP growth rates and employment growth rates for all studied objects without a shift in time, determined for the period 1996-2020 with a high level of reliability, is of the same type and made it possible to determine the range of their mutual changes. According to this range and the parameters of the codependencies of GDP growth rates and employment growth rates, eight clusters of countries were determined by the method of finding concentrations. The emergence of crisis processes coincides with specific parameters of the interdependent dynamics of GDP growth rates and employment growth rates but is not related to the internal division of Eurozone countries into clusters.The obtained results gave reason to put forward an alternative paradigm for modeling crisis processes, according to which economic crises arise as a result of the impact of random destructive events on systemic coincidences of potential periods of shifts in the contingent regularities of partial self-similar dynamics of economic processes. Within this paradigm, modeling of economic crises and forecasting their occurrence will be based on the study of self-similarity, dissipativeness and contingency of the dynamics of economic processes.

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the development of fintech and the need to create innovative products and services, as the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the identification of vectors for the formation of financial technologies and innovative products and contributed to their development. It is established that with the development of new technologies the competition in both banking and non-banking segments of the financial market increases. The main goal of key players in the financial ecosystem is to meet the needs of end users, who in the process of their activities require the use of various financial instruments to achieve their own goals. Based on the determination of the impact of the components of the fintech products ecosystem, the importance of each of them for the development of the fintech products ecosystem has been established, especially in the context of the Covid pandemic. The dependence of the used potential of fintech products ecosystem development on its components by countries has been researched.Calculations show that based on the economic content of the growth parameters of the ecosystem of fintech products by 1%, with the stability of all other components, the production of fintech products will increase by 0.29%. Increasing the efficiency of regulation by 1% will increase the scale of production by 0.16%. In turn, the scale of production will increase by 0.72% due to a decrease in corruption by 1% with the same value of other components. And increasing the efficiency of regulatory and legal support by 1% will increase the scale of production by 2.31%. The success of the whole ecosystem depends on the coordinated, mutually beneficial work of the participants, which is based on openness and respect for the interests of the participants. The needs of all economic activity subjects must be met through the provision of appropriate financial services by members of the financial ecosystem.
Word order variation with decir ‘say’ in spoken Peninsular Spanish
Authors: Herbeck Peter , Posio Pekka
Published: September 2022

In this paper, we investigate word order with the verb decir ‘say’ in two corpora of spoken Peninsular Spanish. This verb is particularly interesting because it has been observed to have a high frequency of postverbal subjects in previous studies. Beside features that influence optional subject-verb inversion, such as the type of subject, the type of complement and the type of sentence in which decir appears, we investigate whether factors related to residual V2 trigger the postverbal subject position in some contexts. It will be shown that fronted objects, but not preverbal adverbs, trigger subject-verb inversion in the speech data investigated here. Furthermore, the factor of subject type and complement type are relevant for explaining word order patterns. Lastly, we also discuss the existence of semi-fixed, ‘constructionalized’ word order patterns with decir and how they can be accounted for in a framework that makes use of perspectival functional categories in the left periphery.
Trajectories towards affirmation: Gender identity in mental health services after the ICD-11
Authors: Argyriou Konstantinos
Published: September 2022

Depathologisation of gender diversity in the ICD-11 marks a shift in psychological services for transgender and gender nonconforming people. Even though the stipulated changes are only practically applicable ever since early 2022, a general move towards affirmative psychotherapeutic and counselling practice has been noticed ever since 2018. The present paper covers three main models of mental health care for gender minorities, namely the conversion therapy model, the transsexual gatekeeping model, and the affirmative model, in order to view them under a novel lens. Drawing on Science, Technology and Society Studies, the universalist presumptions and rigid gender roles of the traditional models are brought under scrutiny. Moreover, the itinerary reveals the need for situated narratives that encourage self-determination and renovate the therapeutic relationship as a means of self-exploration instead of an institutional control mechanism. Concluding, it is remarked that intersectional knowledge is crucial in compensating for micro-aggressive practices and dynamics historically promoted by psychologists and other mental health providers.
STRENGTHENING OF PAKISTAN AND CHINA RELATIONS THROUGH CHINA PAKISTAN ECONOMIC CORRIDOR
Authors: Wazir Bushra
Published: September 2022

The friendship of China and Pakistan is as old as they came into being. They maintained a very cordial, friendly and strong bond since its inception. In 1951 after the formal establishment of diplomatic relations, the People’s Republic of China and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan have seen their relationship ever consolidating and progressing. Throughout different historical periods and despite changes with the times, Chinese and Pakistani governments and people have been working hard to enrich the friendship, and have set a model for friendly bilateral ties between different cultures, social systems and ideologies. In 2015 Chinese President Xi Jinping and Pakistani president Nawaz Sharif properly announced the project China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Both the government of China and Pakistan have deeply realized the importance of developing the CPEC, starting from Kashgar in Xinjiang, China, and reaching Karachi and Gwadar, southern coastal cities in Pakistan via the Khunjerab Pass and several other nodal areas, for cementing China Pakistan economic relations, promoting friendly cooperation and establishing people to people contact between the two countries. CPEC is an economic and development project for the benefit of the people of the region. It will connect Pakistan to Central Asia via the Eurasian Land-Bridge planned under China’s “Belt and Road” initiative. This project is going to be completed in four major phases. Despite all the significance, it faces some challenges from the hostile neighbour of Pakistan: India. Yet, its significance is manifold which covers these challenges.

Authors: Siddiqi Shabnam
Published: September 2022

This paper provides a brief information about history of relations between China and Afghanistan from ancient past to the present era. The collected data relies both on primary and secondary sources. From past to the present China-Afghan relations have always cordial and friendly. Trade relations between both countries date back to the ancient times of Han dynasty 3rd century BC and trade route was the beneficial silk road. Currently both countries have embassies in Beijing and Kabul, and both share a 76 km narrow border. Apart from sharing a border they also share same historical sites and shared same religion and cultural heritage centuries ago. there was a time when some of the well-known provinces of Afghanistan was part of Chinese protectorate. moreover, silk road is another important element which links the two states together. Trade, immigration and cultural exchange have taken place through silk road for centuries between both nations. Not to mention, relations between China and Afghanistan have been smooth till 1933, however, in 1934 it was slightly deteriorated. Still, soon after that it was again back to normal. China has provided Afghanistan millions of dollars in the form of grants and non-reimbursable grants, apart from that a long-term initiative of reconstruction and development in Afghanistan has been planned by China. China is trying hard to make its neighbor state stable politically as well as economically which at last will have positive impacts on the well-being of herself.

Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive neoplasm associated with poor prognosis. Identification of in-situ phase of malignant mesothelioma can help detect disease at an earlier stage and potentially improve outcome by early therapeutic intervention. The concept of malignant mesothelioma in-situ (MIS) has re-emerged, diagnostic criteria based on use of immunohistochemistry and molecular techniques have been described recently and the latest WHO classification of lung tumors includes MIS as a distinct diagnostic entity. Here we present morphologic and immunohistochemical findings from a patient presenting with multiple peritoneal and pleural in-situ malignant mesothelioma lesions with eventual progression to pleural invasive malignant mesothelioma over a protracted period of 13 years. There are very few well documented cases of malignant mesothelioma in-situ and this unique case provides insight into the morphologic variants and natural behavior of malignant mesothelioma in-situ over an extended period of time.

В статье представлены результаты расчета систем заякорения морских буровых платформ в плоской и пространственной постановке. Якорные связи (цепи, тросы) рассматриваются как гибкие, тяжелые и нерастяжимые нити, провисающие по цепной линии. Расчетные схемы якорных закреплений представлены в виде одностороннего, либо двустороннего заякорения. В основе статических расчетов были приняты следующие допущения: якорь – это неподвижная плита самого нижнего кончика цепи; под действием горизонтальной составляющей наружных статических сил имеющиеся клюзовые опоры цепей передвигаются исключительно в горизонтальном пространстве; величина горизонтальных составляющих внешних нагрузок принята равной разности величины распоров в рабочем и начальном состоянии. Установлено, что все значения статических перемещений якорных цепей зависят только от угла наклона цепей относительно дна. Перемещение буровой платформы зависят от величин действующих внешних нагрузок.

Recent development in freezing strategies of pig semen-A review
Authors: BAISHYA S K , BISWAS R K
Published: September 2022

Of late studies on frozen thawed boar semen have dramatically improved boar semen cryopreservation technique, albeit the commercial application of cryopreserved boar semen has not yet been popular. Some studies claimed successful fertility/ fertilization with frozen boar semen. Multiple researches are being carried out to evolve a suitable freezing protocol for cryopreservation of boar semen. In general, freezing protocol adopts freezing rates of either 20Â°, 40Â° or 60Â°C/min in lactose egg yolk extender with 2â€“3% glycerol using medium straw (0.5 ml) for freezing of boar semen. The supplementation of vitamin E or its analogues Trolox, butylated hydroxytoluene, reduced glutathione, catalase, superoxide dismutase, ascorbic acid, and alpha-lipoic acid to the freezing media of boar semen increase the cryosurvival of frozen-thawed boar spermatozoa. Treating sperm with cholesterol-loaded methyl-Î²-cyclodextrin increases sperm cryosurvival rates and sperm quality after thawing by partly decreasing membrane damage induced during phase transition from fluid to the crystalline-gel state. High fertility rates with cooled, frozen-thawed or sex-sorted boar semen are feasible to achieve by using appropriate insemination procedures. Post-cervical intra-uterine insemination allowed a three-fold reduction of spermatozoa to be inseminated, whereas deep uterine insemination allowed a substantial reduction in the number of cooled (5â€“20 folds) or frozen-thawed (6-folds) spermatozoa. With combination of different approaches, acceptable fertility with cryopreserved boar semen can be achieved facilitating its use in routine and commercial application. This review depicts best ways possible to adopt suitable freezing strategies for cryopreservation of boar semen.

In the present investigation, the Kuzi ducks of Odisha were studied with respect to different phenotypic traits and genetic parameters measured for Juvenile traits from 1,718 ducklings hatched in three hatches using 40 sires and 160 dams reared under standard management conditions. Fertility, hatchability, juvenile traits, body weight gains and plumage characteristics were recorded. Carcass characteristics of the drakes were also measured at 20 weeks of age. The average fertility was 75.42% and hatchability on total egg set and fertile egg set basis were 61.79 and 82.10%, respectively. The body weight between male and female showed sexual dimorphisms with respect to body weight and conformation traits from 4th week onwards in Kuzi ducks. The least square body weight recorded at 8 weeks of age in male, female and pooled over sexes were 1,388, 1,231 and 1,282 g, respectively. Heritability estimates for different juvenile traits were moderate to high in magnitude for the traits studied. Body weight recorded at 20 weeks of age was 1,818 g in male and 1,628 g in female. Total edible carcass yield was 76.48% at 20 weeks of age in male. Multi-colour is found to be dominant plumage colour. The study revealed that Kuzi ducks of Odisha have very good potential for duck farming in the country and the body weight of the duck may be improved by selection of the birds and the drake (male) may be used for meat purpose. The growth of the ducklings was very fast from 2 to 8 weeks of age.

Published: September 2022

In the present study, the effect of genetic polymorphism of WD-repeat containing protein 41 (WDR41) and Ankyrin repeat domain containing protein 31 (ANKRD31) gene on 17 traits related to udder and teat type and mastitis in 123 Karan Fries cows was studied. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) was used to identify the SNP (410 bp and 475 bp) in PCR amplified product of intron 4 and exon 10 in WDR41 gene. Both of them were polymorphic with Guanine to Adenine transition, and three genotypes namely AA, AG and GG were observed. In ANKRD31 gene, RFLP was used to identify the SNP in 513 bp PCR amplified product of intron 24 and two SNPs were found. We report for the first time that intron 4 and exon 10 of WDR41 gene is significantly associated with udder depth (UD), udder balance (UB), central ligament (CL), teat circumference (TC), SFF and tear diameter (TD), rear udder width (RUW), and mastitis. SNP rs110012582 in intron 24 of ANKRD31 gene is associated significantly with UD, distance between left and right teat (DLR), SFF, and SNP rs473512406 with udder length (UL), udder width (UW), udder circumference (UC), fore teat length (FTL), rear teat length (RTL), distance between fore and rear teat (DFR), DLR and mastitis. This information can augment future studies to determine the role of WDR41 and ANKRD31 genes as a candidate gene marker with desired udder and teat conformation and mastitis. Thus, it is essential to work for better udder health and prevent the incidence of mastitis in the herd.

The study was conducted on 10 client-owned dogs of either sex presented for fixation of femoral diaphyseal fractures. After thorough clinical, orthopaedic and radiographic examinations, the patients were subjected to application of specially-designed anatomically contoured intramedullary interlocking nailing (ACIILN) for fixation of fractures. All the fractures were closed and involved mid (n=9) to slightly distal (n=1) diaphysis. The diameter of used ACIILN ranged from 5â€“7 mm and the length from 11â€“15 cm. All the ACIILN were applied in static fashion with at least 2 screws each in both proximal and distal fracture fragments. The duration of surgery for application of ACIILN ranged from 35â€“75 min. The technique was found to be moderately difficult with extent of tissue manipulation in the category of low to moderate. Pain and inflammation decreased gradually in all the cases in an anticipated manner.With gradual improvement in weight-bearing capability, the limb function was restored in all cases quiet fast in the postoperative period. More amount of the callus formed over medial and caudal surfaces indicating less amount of stability at these surfaces. Anatomically contoured intramedullary interlocking nailing technique provided clinically viable fracture fixation technique resulting into early limb function.

Present study was designed to assess the effect of trehalose on post thaw semen quality parameters (SQPs), sperm velocity and kinetic profiles, antioxidant and oxidative stress profiles and sperm cholesterol efflux in mithun. A total of 25 ejaculates were selected based on the biophysical parameters and each sample was split into four equal aliquots after dilution with the Tris-citrate-glycerol (TCG) extender such as Group I: control, Group II, III and IV: 50, 75 and 100 mM of trehalose, respectively. Cryopreserved and thawed samples were analysed for their motility parameters (progressive forward and in bovine cervical mucus penetration test [BCMPT]), kinetic and velocity parameters by computer assisted sperm analyser (CASA), viability, sperm morphological and nuclear abnormalities, acrosomal integrity, plasma membrane integrity and nuclear integrity and sperm intra-cellular enzymatic leakage and biochemical (sperm cholesterol, antioxidants and malondialdehyde) profiles. Study revealed a significant enhancement in viability, sperm morphological and nuclear normalities, acrosome integrity, motility, sperm cholesterol content and reduction in leakage of intracellular enzymes in Group II. Moreover, intactness of acrosome and biochemical membranes were protected significantly in addition to significant improvement in kinetic and velocity profiles in extender containing 50 mM trehalose. These results clearly indicated that however the cryopreservation of mithunâ€™s spermatozoa in TCG was comparable with other species, inclusion of 50 mM trehalose holds a clear advantage over control or 75 or 100 mM trehalose. It can be concluded from the present study that trehalose supplementation in semen extender can be effectively utilized to reduce the oxidative stress and improve the antioxidant profiles with cascading beneficial effects on cryopreserved semen quality parameters in mithun.

Haematology and serum biochemistry parameters were determined for apparently healthy Manipurâ€™s Brow Antlered Deer (4) or Sangai (Rucervus eldii eldii) maintained at the Conservation Breeding Centre, Langol, Manipur under semi-captive conditions. Venous blood samples were collected from the animals via the jugular vein puncture following immobilization using drug mixture of medetomidine and ketamine. Results were determined for haematological and serum biochemical parameters for the species and because of limited published information available results were compared with values obtained from captive reared Thamin (Rucervus eldii thamin) and captive/free ranging Red deer (Cervus elaphus elaphus). Higher total white blood cell, absolute lymphocyte and eosinophil, total bilirubin, lactate dehydrogenase were recorded in Manipurâ€™s Brow antler deer than Red deer, while serum biochemical parameters such as sodium, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and sodium were higher while creatinine, albumin, triglycerides and cholesterol were lower than Thamin deer. The values reported here can be used as a starting point for establishing blood parameters for clinically healthy adult Manipurâ€™s Brow Antlered Deer in India. To our knowledge, this is the first report of base-line blood values for the Manipurâ€™s Brow Antlered Deer.

Andaman and Nicobar Islands (ANI) have non-defined and non-descriptive breed of buffaloes. Andaman local buffaloes (ALB) are distributed in Andaman group of Islands and few numbers are available in Campbell Bay and Nicobar group of Islands. Andaman local buffaloes represent an admixture of different Indian breeds that had been brought to these islands in different phases of inhabitation and rehabilitation of migrated people. It is believed that the ALBs have the inheritance from Murrah, Nagpuri, Bhadawari and Marathwada. It is unique buffalo, well adapted to special type of tropical humid island climatic and environmental condition. The present study was designed to standardise the normal reference haematological and biochemical ranges in different stages of reproduction of Andaman local buffaloes which were maintained in the Andaman Districts of ANI, India from April 2019 to March 2020. In this study, haematological parameters, biochemical indices and antioxidant and oxidative stress profiles were estimated in healthy, normal physiological ALBs in different reproductive stages. The present study results clearly indicated that the values of haematological, biochemical and antioxidant profiles fell under the normal physiological ranges. The results of this study may serve as the reference values in which alterations due to metabolic, nutrient deficiency, physiological and health status can be compared for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes for ALBs in ANI and its neighboring countries or other parts of the country with similar environmental and climatic conditions.

Published: September 2022

The present study was conducted to explore the cost and returns, profitability in pig (Swine) farming and to analyze the various factors affecting pig production and their level of efficiency in pig production. For the study, a sample of 45 swine farms was purposively selected by a simple random sampling procedure in the North-eastern zone of Tamil Nadu. The data were collected by personal interview method with the help of a pre-tested questionnaire pertaining to the year 2013â€“2014. The results revealed that minimum cost of production and maximum net return per farm per year from the pig rearing was noticed in large farms. Overall benefit-cost ratio was 1.46, which revealed profitable nature of swine farms in the study area. The results of cobb-douglas production function revealed that the variables, feed, and veterinary care were significant and positively influence the pork production. Allocative efficiency analysis showed that the resource feed was over-utilized and veterinary care was under-utilized. Technical efficiency was calculated using stochastic frontier production function and mean technical efficiency was identified as 76.37% and hence 23.63% of their technical abilities were not realized. Multiple regression was used to identify the factors influencing farm specific technical efficiency and profitability. Thus, the efficiency in pig production in the study area could be achieved through efficient extension programs about advanced scientific management practices for optimum utilization of resources.

Published: September 2022

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation of nano zinc oxide (nano ZnO) on the performance and slaughter variables of commercial broiler chicken from 0 to 42 days of age. Straight run â€˜Cobb 400â€™ day-old broiler chicks (240) were randomly distributed into six treatment groups which were sub-divided into eight replicates containing five chicks in each and fed with T1 (control), T2 (nano ZnO @ 0.1 ppm/litre) and T3 (nano ZnO @ 0.2 ppm/litre), T4 (nano ZnO @ 0.4 ppm/litre) T5 (nano ZnO @ 0.6 ppm/litre) and T6 (nano ZnO @0.8 ppm/litre) diets. The results revealed that body weight gains were significantly influenced by the graded levels of nano ZnO at 42 days of age and the weight gain increased with decrease in level of nano ZnO 0.1 and 0.2 ppm/litre compared with 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 ppm/litre. However, the feed intake and FCR was not influenced by nano ZnO supplementation. All the dietary supplements did not exert any significant effect on various carcass parameters, except liver and breast yield. The liver weight was increased with increased level of nano ZnO but the breast yield was higher in nano ZnO at 0.6ppm/litre followed by nano ZnO 0.2 and 0.4 ppm/litre at the age of 42 days. The mortality rate was within the limits. It can be concluded that supplementation of nano ZnO @ 0.1 and 0.2 ppm (in drinking water) can be used for improving performance and breast yield of broiler chicken.

Authors: Rustamaji Heri , Prakoso Tirto , Devianto Hary , Widiatmoko Pramujo
Published: September 2022

The supercapacitor has gotten a lot of attention as a high-performance energy storage device because of its high power density, good energy density, long life cycle, and extensive application in various electronic applications. To effectively assess its performance, the electrode material composition was optimized with a blend of activated carbon (AC), multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT), and graphene (GR). The synergistic effect of AC, CNT, and GR supports the usage of AC/MWCNT/GR as a viable supercapacitor electrode. Furthermore, the surrounding MWCNT enhances AC and GR electronic conductivity, while AC efficiently suppresses GR re-stacking sheets and aggregates MWCNT particles. For supercapacitor electrodes, the optimal composite mixtures of AC, MWCNT, and GR were 71.7%, 20%, and 8.3% wt, respectively. Meanwhile, an outstanding capacitance value of 33.5 F g-1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte was obtained at 2 mV s-1.

Background. The associations of poaceae and fabaceae forage species are important to provide cattle with a balanced diet between proteins and carbohydrates; also to contribute to the sustainable management of soils. Objective. The objective of the research was to determine the effect of the natural biostimulant on the triticale forage components during staggered sowing associated with faba bean. Methodology. The research was carried out under a randomized complete block experimental design with three repetitions. The genetic material was a line of semi-late triticale and a local variety of faba bean. Applications of a biostimulant were made in two phenological of the triticale stages forage during the staggered sowing (0, 20 and 40 days after sowing the bean). The variables evaluated were percentage increase of foliar N in triticale, biomass in triticale and broad bean, green forage yield of triticale and faba bean, presence of Rhizobium nodules in faba bean and interspecific competition indices of the associated system. Implications. The establishment of a triticale-faba bean association requires certain planting arrangements, varieties and nutrition to avoid the effects of competition, which cause the dominance or displacement of any of the species. Conclusions. The application of biostimulant in triticale in the tillering stage 20 days after sowing the bean, the highest yield of triticale forage was found, allowing the increase in the concentration of foliar nitrogen (1.8%) and rhizobial nodules per plant (175.83) of broad bean; higher biomass (6.49 t ha-1) in triticale and higher amount of total forage (39.02 t ha-1). The competition indices indicate that the bean cultivation in association favors the total relative yield without showing aggressive behavior between crops (A = 0); triticale and faba bean share their competitive capacity (CR>1) according to staggered plantings with and without biostimulant in a certain phenological state of triticale.

Background. The effect of soil fertility and productivity depletion on the milpa system is, in most cases, compensated with the use of agrochemicals, which can be unsustainable on the long-term. Agroecological practices, such as the use of organic inputs, can contribute to sustainable production. Objective: To evaluate the effect of the application of the liquid fermented from native microorganisms (boil NM) and fertilization type (FT), on yield of corn and their components. Methodology: The corn var. "Santa Rosa" was established during the spring-summer cycle of 2018 in Xoy, Peto, Yucatan, Mexico. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks with an arrangement in split plots; the large plot was the FT with three levels: control (CON), diammonium phosphate (DAP) and sheep manure (SM); the small plot was spraying of boil NM at two levels: 0 mL L-1 and 100 mL L-1. The dependent variables were: grain yield, number of cobs, kernel specific weight, and final height of the plant. The variables were analyzed with procedure PROC GLM statistical software SAS version 2013. Results: All variables were statistically similar (P>0.05), except the kernel specific weight in the treatment of NM spraying. Consecuently, the means comparison test was not undertaken. The variable means were: grain yield, 4750 kg ha-1; number of cobs 27992 ha-1; kernel specific weight, 314.16 mg grano-1; and height of the plant, 276.5 cm. The NM spraying increased the kernel weight by 24.5% (P<0.05). Implications: Although,the effect of sheep manure on grain yield was similar to that found with chemical fertilizers, it has the advantage that it is available at the farm. In adition, the use of MN increased the weight of kernel. Conclusions: The application of either TF or MN and the interactions between these factors resulted in similar responses on the studied variables, except the effect of MN on the specific weight of the grain. It is suggested to continue the evaluation of the application of MN and TF in the management of the milpa system in several crop cycles to evaluate this organic input in a long term.

Authors: Gladson Selvakumar  , Sarita bhandari
Published: September 2022

Corona virus (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus. Health care workers are on the front lines to protect our communities. Dentists, particularly endodontists who manage medical emergencies, are engaged in high risk procedures that necessitate the modification of their treatmet strategies in order to protect themselves, their staff and their parents from exposure to SARSCoV-2. The standard approach for screening currently followed is RT-PCR. But this is an expensive technique and time consuming. Therefore, a rapid and sensitive diagnostic tool can help the endodontist before beginning any emergency procedure. This review paper will serve as guide to clinicians to employ screening in their practice for improved outcome.

HYPOGLYCEMIC AND ANTIOXIDANT POTENTIAL OF 1-DEOXYNOJIRIMYCIN IN HIGH GLUCOSE-INDUCED EXPERIMENTAL DIABETIC TILAPIA (Oreochromis niloticus)
Authors: LATHARAJA R. , BANU G. SHARMILA
Published: September 2022

The objective of the study was to assess 1-deoxynojirimycin's effects on high glucose levels and the tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (O. niloticus) propensities for hypoglycemia and antioxidant activity. O. niloticus' hypoglycemia was induced by adding glucose to the water of the fish pond. Glucose-given fishes were given either glibenclamide or the DJN. It was observed that DJN dissolves at doses of 10, 20 mg/kg b.w or glibenclamide (0.6 mg/kg b.w) tested in the fish's water. In comparison to the control group, the hypoglycemic-induced tilapia had greater blood sugar levels. After the induction of hypoglycemia, the blood glucose levels in tilapia were greater than in the control group for 90 minutes. The serum glucose level of the hypoglycemic tilapia was reduced by DJN or glibenclamide in a dose-dependent manner until it was comparable to that of the control group. According to the findings, DJN possessed anti-hypoglycemic action. This is the first study that we are aware of on the use of fish as a model for diabetes to test DJN or glibenclamide.
AN IMPROVEMENT OF CLUSTERING-BASED OBJECTIVE REDUCTION METHOD FOR MANY-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS
Authors: Nguyen Xuan Hung
Published: September 2022

Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs) have been widely used for solving multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs). As the number of objectives is more than three, MOPs are regarded as many-objective optimization problems (MaOPs). They bring difficulties to existing MOEAs in terms of deterioration of the search ability, requirement of exponential population size, visualization of results, and especially computation cost. Although in real world, numerous optimization problems are considered as MaOPs but they contain redundant objectives. With these problems, removing the redundant objectives can alleviate these difficulties of MaOPs. Recently, clustering has been applied to remove redundant objectives such as Mutual Information and Clustering Algorithm (MICA-NORMOEA) and Objective Clustering-Based Objective Reduction Algorithm (OC-ORA). However, these clustering-based algorithms are computationally complex and they also manually tune a set of parameters. This paper proposes a clustering-based objective reduction method (COR) for MaOPs. The proposed method is more efficient than existing ones and it can automatically determine these parameters. Moreover, the proposed method still achieves comparable results with existing methods.
