Published: December 2024

Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) can progress to urethral obstruction, requiring surgical intervention. The aim of this study is to report on the clinical and surgical management of domestic cats with recurrent urethral obstruction. Urethral obstruction is an emergency urological disease in the routine veterinary clinic of dogs and cats, classified as one of the most critical diseases in felines that requires surgical intervention, especially when there are relapses in the patient’s clinical condition, most commonly in adult male cats on an inadequate diet. This study refers to a bibliographic research in which the online databases GOOGLE ACADEMIC, SciELO, PUBMED and PUBVET were used. Felines have a tendency to form crystals, uroliths, since they have a lot of urine retention causing urethral obstructions. Penectomy followed by urethrostomy is the surgical technique of choice for the treatment of recurrent obstructions in felines, allowing the restoration of urinary flow in patients who do not show improvement with clinical therapy. Although this surgery is generally considered safe, it is important to be aware of the possible complications. The most common complications include urethral stricture, infections and difficulties in healing, which can impact long-term results. The prognosis of the disease varies according to the degree of involvement of the patient as well as according to the systemic changes caused by uremia, electrolyte and acid-base imbalance. Simple attitudes, such as making clean, fresh water available in your environment, are very important as adjuvant tools for disease prevention.

Authors: Arnaldos María Isabel , Parra-García Josefa , García María Dolores
Published: December 2024

As it concerns the use of Entomology in forensic practice, this paper presents for the first time a case in which Linepithema humile (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) was found to be associated with human corpses. The species was collected in Murcia province (SE Spain) from the body of a middle-aged woman in advanced decomposition stage found indoors in unhygienic housing conditions. In addition to such species, specimens belonging to Calliphora vicina, Muscina stabulans, Musca sp. and Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Diptera) were also collected at the scene. These entomological specimens were found to be valuable for estimating the minimum postmortem interval. The occurrence of Linepithema humile reported here for the first time in a forensic case enhances the global list of insects of forensic interest.

Published: December 2024

According to the study of preserved monuments, written sources and scientific literature, five medieval fortresses are known in the Berd region: Tavush, Nor-Berd, Matznaberd, Yergevank and Katsaret. As important points of defence system, they are always mentioned in the sources almost together and in connection with the same historical events. The exact date of the foundation of the fortresses is not known, but according to the medieval sources and archaeological materials, they date back to the 10th-13th centuries, were heavily damaged during the Mongol invasions, and then gradually abandoned. The article is dedicated to the preliminary research of the reservoirs documented in the aforementioned fortresses, their commonalities and features with similar structures, as well as the consideration of a number of related issues. The study is based on the results of the excavations in the Tavush fortress and also the results of our fieldworks carried out in other mentioned fortresses.
Canal Construction in Medieval Armenia According to Armenian Epigraphic Sources
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Harutyunyan Arsen
Published: December 2024

The vital importance of water in Armenian reality has a centuries-old history. The first water cult symbols in the Armenian Highland can be found in petroglyphs. Later stelae were erected near the water sources and epigraphic inscriptions were engraved on the occasion of water construction works. The tradition continued in the Middle Ages as well, as evidenced by Armenian epigraphic inscriptions related to the construction of canals and other water structures. In terms of content, these have the same ideological background, that is, to provide water resources necessary for human activity (drinking and irrigation water). Horticulture, in particular viticulture and winemaking also had a primary place in the medieval agriculture, which is evidenced by numerous epigraphic inscriptions concerning the “soil and water” donations of gardens, lands, villages.

There are preserved epigraphic inscriptions towards bringing water to the settlements and gardens, building streams and canals, erecting khachkars on the occasion of water construction works, discounting the water tax, defining the right of water consumption, etc. The chronology of them covers almost the entire Middle Ages and the later period. We tried to present the tradition on the basis of the several key inscriptions, such as those known from Talin (783), Aruch (867), Jrvezh (1173), Amberd (first half of the 13th century), old Halidzor (1265), Verishen (1294), Sotk (1569), etc.
The Lion-Dragon of Ebla and the Iconography of The Flow of Heavenly Waters
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Bobokhyan Arsen
Published: December 2024

The iconography of water emanating from the mouths of mixed elemental figures - dragons found on monuments from the lowland and mountain regions of the ancient Near East reveals a semantic cluster that has its landscape of action (mountains, underworld/heaven, sanctuary), actors (deities, dragons, heroes), description of the act (dragon slayer, ritual, fertility), objects of the action (throne, chariot, statue). The existing parallels show not only the commonality of the water emanation motif, but also other connections that can be observed in the same context, which are the result of active commercial and cultural interactions. The Armenian Highland was also involved in those relations. The corresponding pictorial units reproduce a mythical landscape of the mountains, also seen from the plains. That zone is located beyond the Taurus mountains, is rich in water resources and ensures the well-being of the Syrian-Mesopotamian lowland zone. The main period of the spread of this motif is the Middle Bronze Age, the end of the 3rd - first half of the 2nd millennium BC. However corresponding concepts are also present during the Late Bronze Age.

Published: December 2024

At present, the protection of natural environment and the maintenance of ecological environment are strongly advocated and implemented. Based on this, many eco-tourism areas have been built in recent years, which not only build natural and cultural scenic spots, but also provide people with more scenic spots to enjoy natural scenery, such as forest parks, wetland parks, tea gardens and bamboo forests. The implementation process of these projects also faces many risks, and the analysis and evaluation of risks is of great significance to the operation after the project is started. Aiming at the construction project of Wetland Park, this paper analyzes many risks existing in it, and probes into some countermeasures.

Published: December 2024

Andalucía es origen del 69,54 % del aceite de oliva con calidad diferenciada por una Denominación de Origen Protegida (AOVE-DOP) obtenido en España en 2021. El valor por kilogramo de esta grasa vegetal presenta, sin embargo, una elevada dispersión en función de la localización geográfica del territorio en el que se obtiene. Empleando la metodología QCA, en este documento se analiza cómo la antigüedad de la DOP, la orientación de su producción hacia los mercados internacionales o el predominio de entidades cooperativas entre las empresas incritas en la misma puede condicionar el valor en origen del producto.

Published: December 2024

El mayor desastre natural que se ha producido en España en los últimos cien años, la Dana de octubre de 2024 que provocó una riada descomunal en una parte de la provincia de Valencia, obliga a una reflexión sobre nuestra respuesta ante las catástrofes. Más allá de la visión clásica del azar desgraciado, imprevisible y ajeno a la intervención humana, cabe plantear la relación entre ciencia y gestión política, la respuesta de solidaridad y el debate sobre el establecimiento de responsabilidad moral, política y jurídica.
Biografie criminali. Biopic e true crime
Authors: Bernardelli Andrea
Published: December 2024

Il genere narrativo true crime ha un vasto successo su diverse piattaforme – dallo streaming audiovisivo al podcast. Fondamentalmente si tratta di fornire la ricostruzione della biografia delle persone coinvolte in un crimine. Questo secondo due possibili diverse prospettive quella del criminale – spesso un assassino o un serial killer – oppure quella della vittima, o delle vittime. Il legame tra le due forme narrative – quello del biopic e quella del true crime -, è evidente anche nel fatto che si basino entrambe sull’uso di materiale audiovisivo – solo audio nel caso del podcast -, d’archivio - come news, interrogatori, o deposizioni in tribunale, ma anche il girato personale o famigliare dei soggetti coinvolti. Questo materiale è ciò che rende “true” il true crime, anche se in molti casi è intrecciato con le forme della finzione – il reenactemnt spesso presente nei true crime audiovisivi. Quali sono le forme del true crime più interessanti in termini di ricostruzione di una sorta di biografia personale degli individui coinvolti? E quali questioni etiche coinvolge questa modalità di approccio al crimine?
El biopic entre serialidad y cine: el caso de Chiamatemi Francesco
Authors: Grignaffini Giorgio , Dusi Nicola
Published: December 2024

Este artículo, partiendo del caso del biopic de producción italiana Chiamatemi Francesco, dedicado al Papa Bergoglio, aborda algunos de los problemas relacionados con el género biográfico en el ámbito audiovisual. Desde un punto de vista metodológico, se adopta una perspectiva que pretende integrar el análisis semiótico textual y un análisis genético del proyecto que parte de los procesos de producción. En este caso concreto, el análisis se centra en primer lugar en la relación entre la versión cinematográfica y la versión televisiva (de doble duración) de la historia, poniendo de relieve cómo la duración del formato elegido influye de manera muy importante en las elecciones narrativas, produciendo efectos significativos en términos ideológicos y de valores. Más en detalle, se destacaron las dinámicas vinculadas al plano narrativo y actitudinal, encontrando en Chiamatemi Francesco algunos esquemas operativos típicos del género biopic. En el trasfondo emerge la relevancia de la cuestión de la relación entre la verdad histórico-fáctica (que debe considerarse en términos no referenciales, sino como un repertorio de documentos textualizados) y la adaptación narrativa, una relación dialéctica entre el respeto a las fuentes y la búsqueda de la implicación y aprobación del público.

Transformacions iròniques de la intriga en dos contes de Pere Calders i Jesús Moncada
Authors: Gregori Soldevila Carme
Published: December 2024

El relat policíac d’enigma basa l’eficàcia de la seua fórmula en la construcció d’una intriga a base de combinar incertesa i anticipació. La combinació entre previsibilitat i variació genera uns estereotips de gènere que el lector identifica fàcilment i en els quals fonamenta la seua lectura. Mosques a millor vida, de Pere Calders, i L’assassinat de Roger Ackroyd, de Jesús Moncada, adopten un ús distanciat dels tòpics codificats del relat policíac d’enigma, amb un filtre irònic que en denuncia els mecanismes i la banalitat: mitjançant el recurs hipertextual del pastitx, en el cas de Calders, i l’ús de la intertextualitat, en el conte de Moncada, els dos contes desplacen l’atenció de la història a la dimensió metaficcional.
Mansura, de Félix de Azúa. Una reescritura libre de la crónica medieval Livre de Saint Roi Louis, de Jean de Joinville
Authors: Soares Ana Rita Gonçalves
Published: December 2024

Mansura (1984), del escritor catalán Félix de Azúa, es, a grandes rasgos, una recreación libre de los hechos transcritos en el texto medieval de Jean de Joinville que se conoce como Livre des Saintes Paroles et des Bons Faits de Notre Saint Roi Louis. En este artículo, se pretende explicar cómo la novela Mansura se convierte en un ejercicio posmoderno de copia, de edición y de reescritura. En primer lugar, interesa explicar sucintamente los mecanismos de reelaboración que operan en esta obra de ficción medievalista a través del análisis comparado de ambos textos. Atendiendo después al conjunto de modificaciones que la nueva versión ha introducido con respecto al original, importa analizar en qué medida la actualización de los códigos formales y temáticos potencia mecanismos retóricos como la parodia y el simulacro.
Els tòpics del món al revés i del locus amoenus en la poesia de J. V. Foix
Authors: Quintana Lluís
Published: December 2024

L’obra de J. V. Foix incorpora sovint temes, metàfores o formes rítmiques o estròfiques que provenen de la tradició literària, tant del folklore com de la literatura clàssica, dins una tradició que comprèn, com diu al pròleg de Sol, i de dol, “els seus, els provençals i els toscans”. Aquestes autoritats a què Foix es remet, es manifesten en la seva obra de diverses maneres, com són els epígrafs, les intertextualitats i especialment la reescriptura. Examinarem aquest últim cas en el tractament de dos tòpics concrets: el món al revés i el paisatge, en poemes de dos llibres consecutius: Les irreals omegues (1949) i On he deixat les claus… (1954).
De flors i de guerra. Una reinterpretació hipertextual i intermedial del patrimoni literari català
Authors: Torrents i Sunyol Julieta , Calsina Forrellad Joan , Contreras Barceló Elisabet
Published: December 2024

En aquest article abordem l’estudi de Flors i viatges (2021) del duet artístic Cabosanroque —una reinterpretació de l’obra Viatges i flors de Mercè Rodoreda— des d’una perspectiva hipertextual i intermedial. El text primigeni de Rodoreda està format per dos reculls que Cabosanroque llegeix en clau de guerra. Aquesta lectura és determinant en la creació d’un significat propi en la nova obra. La instal·lació artística —que combina textos literaris, escultura, música, efectes sonors i visuals i projeccions— té una estructura similar al llibre original. Inclou diversos passatges extrets de Viatges i flors i incorpora fragments de La guerra no té cara de dona, d’Svetlana Aleksiévitx (2020), amb la voluntat de remarcar-ne la universalitat i la vinculació amb el context del moment: la guerra d’Ucraïna. L’obra també vol fixar la mirada en les figures femenines i, en aquest sentit, diverses refugiades d’origen ucraïnès reciten textos de Rodoreda traduïts en la seva llengua pròpia. Així, resseguim la complexitat compositiva i hipertextual de l’obra.
El mercader de Venecia de H. Heyme: ¿ceremonia sensual de la inteligencia?
Authors: Ribes Traver Purificación
Published: December 2024

El presente trabajo indaga en los mecanismos empleados por H. Heyme, director políticamente comprometido, para transmitir a través de su apuesta escénica la complejidad del Mercader de Venecia en relación a cuestiones de raza, religión y género. A tal fin, analiza el hipotexto shakespeariano y lo contrapone a la transformación hipertextual de la versión de H. Heyme sobre la traducción castellana de V. Molina Foix. Analiza la interpretación actoral del texto escénico y la importancia de los efectos visuales y sonoros para la puesta en escena. Indaga, finalmente, en la percepción que, de la producción teatral, han manifestado, tanto su director, como los críticos teatrales a través de las manifestaciones paratextuales presentes en sus declaraciones.
Les adaptacions i versions dels contes clàssics en la literatura infantil en català: el cas de la col·lecció Vet aquí dues vegades
Authors: Falguera Garcia Enric , Selfa Sastre Moisés
Published: December 2024

En aquest treball analitzem les 12 adaptacions de contes clàssics publicades a la col·lecció Vet aquí dues vegades tot considerant dos tipus de paratextos: paratextos extratextuals, que tenen a veure amb el disseny i format de la publicació a més de les il·lustracions que s’inclouen en aquesta, i paratextos textuals, que estan relacionats amb els noms dels personatges principals de la història així com, fonamentalment, els conflictes narratius que presenta aquesta. A partir d’una lectura interpretativa i crítica d’aquestes 12 adaptacions, podem concloure que, en primer lloc, trobem versions que poden agrupar-se en dos grans grups: aquelles que estan actualitzades ideològicament als nostres dies però que no difereixen, en essència, de la trama que pot llegir-se als contes clàssics, i aquelles que presenten nous arguments diferents als trobats a les versions clàssiques, a més d’estar també actualitzades als nostres dies. En segon lloc, es tracta d’adaptacions destinades a un públic que, per les característiques del format i altres elements extratextuals, podem situar entre el final de la infantesa i l’inici de l’adolescència.
Parodies of Pleasure: Remedios Varo’s Queer Surrealism in Narrative and Painting
Authors: Everly Kathryn A
Published: December 2024

Remedios Varo (1908-1963) wrote numerous surrealist texts that dialogue with her prolific artistic production. Alchemy, feminism, and psychoanalysis have been studied as central themes in her paintings, yet this paper focuses on humor and parody in Varo’s written works –including her letters, short stories, and dreams– to uncover the seminal ideas and images that emerge in her visual art. Humor and parody are fundamental links between Varo’s narrative and paintings. She embraces the spontaneity of the surrealist écriture automatique and the illogical amor fou but at the same time pushes the limits of surrealist dogma and creates a uniquely nonpatriarchal universe in which the female has agency and the blurriness between the male and female anticipates current theories of queer sexualities. Seen through a theoretical lens of parody (Linda Hutcheon) and queerness (Jack Halberstam), Varo’s works propose an alternate reading of surrealism.

La mejor madre del mundo (2019) de Nuria Labari. Cuestionando el mito de la maternidad
Authors: Darici Katiuscia
Published: December 2024

Desde finales del siglo xx y, particularmente, en la literatura de la última década, ha aumentado el número de libros escritos por mujeres que recogen una inquietud acerca de la maternidad y sus repercusiones en la vida tanto privada como pública, de la relación entre creación literaria y procreación, y del anhelo de maternidad y de la posibilidad para las mujeres de vivirla desmontando los patrones patriarcales que la regulan. El presente artículo pretende ofrecer un análisis de uno de los libros más representativos de esta escritura, La mejor madre del mundo (2019) de Nuria Labari. Se mostrará cómo en su libro autoficcional Labari cuestiona el mito de la maternidad y la idea según la cual habría un destino inexorable otorgado a las mujeres, el de ser madres. Con el relato de su experiencia personal muestra que detrás de la maternidad hay una construcción social que relega a las mujeres a un segundo plano.
Contrastivo es el nuevo negro: un estudio translingüístico de un “snowclone” en inglés, alemán y español
Authors: Ungerer Tobias , Hartmann Stefan
Published: December 2024

La investigación construccionista reciente ha experimentado un creciente interés en el contacto lingüístico y el cambio inducido por el contacto. En este artículo presentamos un análisis contrastivo basado en corpus del “snowclone” [X BE the new Y] y sus equivalentes en alemán y español. Nuestros resultados muestran que la construcción es más frecuente en inglés, pero productiva en los tres idiomas. Las técnicas de análisis colostruccional revelan paralelismos entre los lexemas con los que se combina el patrón en cada lengua, pero también diferencias en el grado de variabilidad semántica. En resumen, los resultados reflejan el papel del préstamo construccional en el surgimiento de las construcciones alemana y española, que pueden modelarse a través de vínculos en la red mental de hablantes multilingües.
Constructional borrowing in indirect language contact situations: from Watergate to Fernándezgate
Authors: Martínez-Vázquez Montserrat
Published: December 2024

Borrowing involves the replication of form-meaning associations, including (partially filled) words or phrases, and argument structures that are useful in specific communicative contexts. A large corpus-based analysis of a novel Spanish construction was conducted to demonstrate the borrowability of morphological abstract schemas, even in indirect contact situations. The findings indicate that the English -gate schema has been successfully replicated in Spanish. The identification of numerous formations constructed with Spanish bases provides evidence for the schema’s integration into the constructica of Spanish speakers, who extend it in creative ways, both formally and semantically.

Published: December 2024

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of beetroot supplementation on the number of repetitions in the Cindy test of male athletes who practice CrossFit® to improve their exercise performance. Twenty male CrossFit® athletes (age = 28 ±3 years, height = 1.71 ± 0.2 m, weight = 72.2 ± 4.2 kg) were included in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and crossover study. The participants consumed a beetroot supplement (515 mg (8.24 mmol) of nitrate) or placebo (starch) 90 min before starting the Cindy workout. Student's t-tests for paired samples were used to compare the performance between the beetroot supplement and placebo conditions and to examine for a learning effect between the first and the second sessions. No significant differences were found in performance between the beetroot supplement and the placebo conditions (17.4 ± 2.7 vs. 16.7± 2.3 rounds, t = 1.48, p = 0.078). However, a significant learning effect was determined between the first and the second session (16.6 ± 2.4 vs. 17.5± 2.6 rounds, t = 1.94, p= 0.034). Overall, the intake of 515 mg of beetroot nitrate (8.24 mmol) before a Cindy workout did not increase the number of repetitions performed. More studies are needed to confirm whether nitrate in beetroot can be used as an effective performance improvement strategy in CrossFit® male athletes, considering that a learning effect could be present in the practice of CrossFit® workouts.

In this study, we investigated the role of 17α-estradiol in lifespan extension and its potential side effects from long-term administration. Pooled hypothalami from aged male Norway brown rats treated with 17α-estradiol (O.T), aged male controls (O), and young male controls (Y) were subjected to single-nucleus transcriptomic sequencing (snRNA-seq). To evaluate the effects of 17α-estradiol on aging neurons, supervised clustering of neurons based on neuropeptides and their receptors were used to evaluate the responses of each neuron subtype during aging and after 17α-estradiol treatment. The elevated cellular metabolism, stress and decreased expression levels of pathways involved in synapse formation in neurons initiated by aging were significantly attenuated by 17α-estradiol. Assessment of changes in neuron populations showed that neurons related to food intake, reproduction, blood pressure, stress response, and electrolyte balance were sensitive to 17α-estradiol treatment. 17α-estradiol treatment not only increased serum Oxytocin (Oxt), but also heightened the activity of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, as evidenced by significantly elevated levels of plasma Gnrh, total testosterone, and decreased estradiol. Elevated Gnrh1 was confirmed to be one of the causal effects mediating the role of 17α-estradiol in energy homeostasis, neural synapse, and stress response. Notably,
Crh
neurons exhibited prominent stressed phenotype among all the checked neuron subtypes in O.T, which may indicate a potential side effect of 17α-estradiol treatment. Therefore, the HPG axis and energy metabolism may be key targets of 17α-estradiol in male hypothalamus. Additionally, supervised clustering of neurons was shown to be a useful method for assessing treatment responses among different neuron subtypes in the hypothalamus.

Advanced machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) methods have recently been utilized in Drug Response Prediction (DRP), and these models use the details from genomic profiles, such as extensive drug screening data and cell line data, to predict the response of drugs. Comparatively, the DL-based prediction approaches provided better learning of such features. However, prior knowledge, like pathway data, is sometimes discarded as irrelevant since the drug response datasets are multidimensional and noisy. Optimized feature learning and extraction processes are suggested to handle this problem. First, the noise and class imbalance problems must be tackled to avoid low identification accuracy, long prediction times, and poor applicability. This article aims to apply the Non-Negativity-Constrained Auto Encoder (NNCAE) network to tackle these issues, enhance the adaptive search for the optimal size of sliding windows, and ensure that deep network architectures are adept at learning the vital hidden features. NNCAE methodology is used after performing the standard pre-processing procedures to handle the noise and class imbalance problem. This class balanced and noise-removed input data features are learned to train the proposed hybrid classifier. The classification model, Golden Eagle Optimization-based Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory neural networks (GEO-Conv-LSTM), is assembled by integrating Convolutional Neural Network CNN and LSTM models, with parameter tuning performed by the GEO algorithm. Evaluations are conducted on two large datasets from the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) repository, and the proposed NNCAE-GEO-Conv-LSTM-based approach has achieved 96.99% and 97.79% accuracies, respectively, with reduced processing time and error rate for the DRP problem.

Published: December 2024

Any place the human species inhabits is inevitably modified by them. One of the first features that appear everywhere, in urban areas as well as in the countryside or deep forests, are roads. Further, roads and streets in general reflect their omnipresent and significant role in our lives through the flow of goods, people, and even culture and information. However, their contribution to the public is highly influenced by their surface. Yet, research on automated road surface classification from remotely sensed data is peculiarly scarce. This work investigates the capacities of chosen convolutional neural networks (fully convolutional network (FCN), U-Net, SegNet, DeepLabv3+) on this task. We find that convolutional neural network (CNN) are capable of distinguishing between compact (asphalt, concrete) and modular (paving stones, tiles) surfaces for both roads and sidewalks on aerial data of spatial resolution of 10 cm. U-Net proved its position as the best-performing model among the tested ones, reaching an overall accuracy of nearly 92%. Furthermore, we explore the influence of adding a near-infrared band to the basic red green blue (RGB) scenes and stress where it should be used and where avoided. Overfitting strategies such as dropout and data augmentation undergo the same examination and clearly show their pros and cons. Convolutional neural networks are also compared to single-pixel based random forests and show indisputable advantage of the context awareness in convolutional neural networks, U-Net reaching almost 25% higher accuracy than random forests. We conclude that convolutional neural networks and U-Net in particular should be considered as suitable approaches for automated semantic segmentation of road surfaces on aerial imagery, while common overfitting strategies should only be used under particular conditions.

Published: December 2024

Traditional biometric techniques often require direct subject participation, limiting application in various situations. In contrast, gait recognition allows for human identification via computer analysis of walking patterns without subject cooperation. However, occlusion remains a key challenge limiting real-world application. Recent surveys have evaluated advances in gait recognition, but only few have focused specifically on addressing occlusion conditions. In this article, we introduces a taxonomy that systematically classifies real-world occlusion, datasets, and methodologies in the field of occluded gait recognition. By employing this proposed taxonomy as a guide, we conducted an extensive survey encompassing datasets featuring occlusion and explored various methods employed to conquer challenges in occluded gait recognition. Additionally, we provide a list of future research directions, which can serve as a stepping stone for researchers dedicated to advancing the application of gait recognition in real-world scenarios.
Reevaluating Shifting Cultivation in Northeast India: Balancing Traditional Practices, Sustainability, and Development
Authors: Bhardwaj Ritika
Published: December 2024

Shifting cultivation, particularly the jhum system, has been a long-standing practice in Northeast India, sustaining the livelihoods of indigenous communities. This paper aims to reevaluate the enduring practice of shifting cultivation in Northeast India, acknowledging its deep historical roots, vital role in sustaining tribal livelihoods, and dynamic adaptation amidst socioeconomic change. Tracing its origins to the Neolithic era, shifting cultivation has evolved from a subsistence-based model to one generating modest surpluses, remaining integral to food security and cultural identity in rural tribal communities. Various research papers and government reports have been studied thoroughly from 1985 to 2023 to examine the evolving perceptions of shifting cultivation, considering both its economic and environmental implications. While often criticized for contributing to deforestation, soil degradation, and biodiversity loss, recent research suggests that the practice can be more sustainable than traditionally assumed, especially when fallow cycles are maintained. The jhum system promotes biodiversity conservation through its use of mixed cropping and the protection of endemic species. However, challenges such as insecure land tenure and inadequate policies have hindered the adoption of alternative farming practices. This study emphasizes the significance of blending traditional ecological wisdom with contemporary agricultural techniques to bolster food security, conserve biodiversity, and enhance community well-being. The findings demonstrate that, when bolstered by sustainable interventions such as homestead production systems that honor indigenous values, shifting cultivation continues to serve as a crucial livelihood for tribal communities in Northeastern India, fostering rural development, cultural preservation, and environmental sustainability.

Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) is a mosquito-borne virus that poses a significant health threat, causing severe neurological complications. To explore potential therapeutic interventions, this study utilized computational techniques, including molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations, to investigate the interaction of Withaferin A, a natural compound derived from Ashwagandha, with specific viral proteins (4HDH and 4K6M).
The results indicate strong binding affinity and favorable interactions between Withaferin A and the target proteins, suggesting its potential to disrupt viral processes. The compound's adherence to Lipinski's Rule of Five and low toxicity profile further support its suitability for drug development. Additionally, Withaferin A exhibits immunomodulatory and cytotoxic properties, which could contribute to its antiviral activity. The study employed tools such as PyRx, Discovery Studio, Chimera, and GROMACS to conduct molecular docking and dynamics simulations, providing valuable insights into the potential mechanism of action of Withaferin A. While additional studies, including clinical validation, are necessary, these results position Withaferin A as a promising candidate for therapeutic intervention against JEV. This research contributes to the ongoing efforts to expand the arsenal of strategies to mitigate the impact of this menacing virus and protect vulnerable populations from its severe neurological effects.
