EFFICACY OF LACTOSE-FREE FORMULA AS A 24-HOUR MANAGEMENT APPROACH FOR ACUTE DIARRHEA AMONG CHILDREN
Authors: Nitayakul Praewwanit , Jeephet Kornthip , Ngeonmak Thitima
Published: August 2023

Background: Diarrhea continues to be a prominent contributor to morbidity and mortality among young children under five years, especially in developing nations. Secondary lactose intolerance is a significant complication that can arise from acute diarrhea. However, it can be effectively managed with lactose-free formula.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the rate of diarrhea resolution within a 24-hour period among children receiving lactose-free formula and those receiving lactose-containing formula.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study took place at Naresuan University Hospital and included 153 children aged between one month and five years admitted with acute diarrhea. Participants with bloody mucous diarrhea suspected to be bacterial in nature, positive stool culture, breastfeeding and chronic diarrhea (including cow’s milk protein allergy and inflammatory bowel disease) were excluded. We compared the effectiveness of lactose-free formula (n=48) and lactose-containing formula in improving clinical diarrhea within a 24-hour (n=105).

Results: The study findings indicated the lactose-free formula group demonstrated a statistically significant increase in efficacy, with a 3.90 fold improvement in diarrhea within 24 hours compared with that of the group receiving lactose-containing formula. These results were obtained after the confounding factors were adjusted using multivariable regression analysis. The adjusted relative risk (RR) for a 24-hour improvement in diarrhea was 3.90 (95% CI: 1.91-7.95). However, this study encountered limitations regarding the sample size and accurate measurement of stool output.

Conclusion: Lactose-free formula showed the potential for greater effectiveness in improving acute diarrhea within a 24-hour timeframe compared with lactose-containing formula.

Authors: Yoo Han Bin , Ha Ji-soo
Published: August 2023

With the rising global popularity of Hallyu or the Korean wave, various K-cultures, one of them being K-Fashion, are fascinating the world. This research aimed to examine what are some perceptions that form and complete the idea of K-Fashion. By analyzing the open-coded data from the in-depth group interviews based on the grounded theory with 46 participants from 16 countries excluding Korea, by breaking down the raw data of the interview transcripts, 10 superordinate themes and 38 subordinate themes were found under the 2 categories. The first category consisting of 3 superordinate themes was named ‘dynamic and diverse’, reflecting the dynamically evolving and diverse nature of K-Fashion, and the second category with 7 superordinate themes was identified as ‘double-sided and ambiguous’. The study outlines the thematic components that forms the idea of K-Fashion, which has been a neglected research subject despite its importance in the fast-evolving and growing world of Hallyu.

Work is now well advanced in the assessment and accessioning of collections which are known to contain type and figured material. Extensive literature searches have permitted the recognition of many specimens but there remains a strong chance that material may have eluded this and earlier searches, especially specimens studied and perhaps figured or referred to by the present generation of palaeontologists. The discovery in the latter half of 1981 of the missing Holotype of Nuthetes destructor Owen, 1854, (a small dinosaur) in the collection at Dorset County Museum emphasises the mystery (.') which surrounds much of the historic collection.

An Oirat Fragment of the Śatasāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sutra in the Collection of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts
Authors: Yampolskaya Natalia V.
Published: August 2023

The Mongolian collection of IOM RAS preserves one folio of a manuscript in Clear Script that contains the Oirat translation of the Śatasāhasrikā Prajāpāramitā Sutra. Before 2023, the folio was stored among mixed manuscript fragments that were delivered to the Imperial Academy of Sciences in the 18th c. This fact, along with the characteristics of its paper and ductus, allows to conjecture that the manuscript was produced in the 18th c. The left and right margins of the folio are neatly cut off, which suggests that the manuscript was handled by collectors in the same period (similar traces were left on other Tibetan and Mongolian pothi manuscripts that were delivered to Russia and Europe in the 18th c.). The folio preserved at IOM RAS is the only specimen of the Oirat translation of the Śatasāhasrikā described today. The translation style is similar to that of the Oirat Zaya Pandita (15991662), although his authorship remains to be confirmed. In the paper, the facsimile of the folio is presented along with the transliteration of the Oirat text (in collation with the Tibetan source), and its translation into Russian.
From the History of the Decipherment of West Semitic Writing: Events and People. VII. Barthélemy-Orientalist: Between Scholarship and High Society. Part III
Authors: Yunusov Marat M.
Published: August 2023

The article is the third essay on the life and scholarly activity of the outstanding French scholar Abbоt J.-J. Barthlemy as part of a series of publications on the history of the decipherment of West Semitic writing (events and people). The essay examines the circumstances of Barthlemys appointment in September 1753 to the post of the Keeper of the Royal Cabinet of Medals. This event, long awaited by the abbot, became possible with the help and mediation of Marquis de Gonto and Comte de Stanville, both close to Marquise de Pompadour. Some events that led to the rapprochement of the influential mistress of the king with Comte de Stanville may, in a sense, be regarded as a background to this important appointment for Barthlemy. This Barthlemys appointment to a new post was the occasion for his personal acquaintance with de Stanville family, with whom the abbot would associate for the rest of his life and to which, by his own admission, he would sacrifice his scholarly career and the name that he could have in scholarship.

Published: August 2023

O presente artigo traz análise do funcionamento e do processo de deságue de resíduos com alto teor de líquidos, dispostos em dois Sistemas de Confinamento de Resíduos (SCR) idênticos, porém um com drenos verticais internos em geotêxtil não tecido, ambos submetidos a dois ciclos de enchimento. O lodo utilizado é um resíduo da Estação de Tratamento de Água, ETA, do Centro Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (São José dos Campos). Ensaios em campo, compreendendo medidas de volume de enchimento dos SCR e medidas das alturas de cada sistema no tempo foram coletadas. Estes ensaios e os ensaios de laboratório, como a caracterização do lodo e a determinação do teor de sólidos em massa dos diversos corpos de prova coletados dos ensaios de campo, permitem avaliar o comportamento destes sistemas. Mediante o estudo foi possível perceber que o processo de desague do resíduo no interior de um SCR acontece de maneira mais rápida que o previsto pela literatura. Ainda, verificou-se que o uso de geotêxtil não tecido como elemento drenante não foi eficaz, ressaltando-se a necessidade de estudos futuros com outros elementos de drenagem.

Published: August 2023

Important pesticides (organo- chlorine, -phosphate, and synthetic pyrethroids) in bovine milk samples, water and fodder collected from the eight different blocks of Jaipur, Rajasthan were monitored in the present study. Simultaneously, a survey was conducted regarding the usage of pesticides in these areas in particularly on animal feed. Sixty four samples each of wheat (Triticum) straw and bajra (Pennisetum glaucum) stover, 32 samples each of lucerne (Medicago sativa), water, indigenous cow milk, 64 samples each of exotic cow and buffalo milk were analysed. Gas chromatography results revealed that pesticides in milk, water and fodder samples were absent. The attributed reason being the low consumption and prevailing environmental conditions, viz. soil type, surface water depth, intensity and length of sunlight exposure, temperature etc. which leads to the faster degradation of these pesticides.

Published: August 2023

Effect of period and season of calving had significant effect on incidence of lameness while effect of parity and lactation yield on incidence of lameness was not significant. It was found that high yielder cows and cows in early stage of lactation were highly affected with the lameness as compare to low yielder cows and cows in succeeding stages of lactation. Though, non-genetic factors certainly have effect on incidence of lameness but better managemental interventions at farm level can play a key role in minimizing these effects.

Published: August 2023

Polymorphism in the major histocompatibility complex of the bovine, which is referred to as bovine leukocyte antigens (BoLAs), was intensively investigated for identifying marker(s) for bovine diseases and immunological traits. This approach requires identifying and documenting the allelic diversity of BoLA among different breeds of cattle using PCR-SBT technique. In this study, we could standardise the most useful approach of unravelling polymorphism in DQA1 exon 2 of cattle using PCR-sequence based typing (SBT). We could identify 16 different DQA1 alleles in 43 zebu and crossbred cattle, out of which 26 were homozygous and 17 were heterozygous. PCR- SBT has proved to be the most useful method for exploring the allelic polymorphism in DQA1 gene in zebu and its crossbred cattle in our study. Further use of this technique is equally appropriate for all kinds of traits i.e. production, reproduction and growth type of traits and beneficial for establishing new breeding objectives.
Effect of urea supplementation in diet based on barley grain or corn silage on performance, digestion, rumen fermentation and microbial protein synthesis in Holstein bull calves
Authors: KAZEMI-BONCHENARI M , SALEM A Z M , GHASEMI E
Published: August 2023

This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of non-protein nitrogen source of urea with barley grain (BG) or corn silage (CS) based diet in Holstein bull calves. Nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation activities, microbial nitrogen yield (MN) and blood metabolites were determined. Holstein bull calves (14), weighing 126 ± 4.2 kg were allocated in 2 different diets based on BG or CS for 9 weeks. Diets were based on rolled barley grain (BG) and on finely chopped corn silage (CS). Both diets were supplemented with 7.5 g/kg urea on DM basis. Intake and performance of animal did not differ between diets, whereas digestibility of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) decreased in BG diet. Ruminal concentration of propionate and blood glucose concentration increased in BG calves, whereas ruminal pH and acetate concentration increased in CS fed calves. The ruminal NH3-N was increased in CS diet, while excretions of allantoin, purine derivatives and estimated MN yield through urine were greater in BG diet vs. CS diet. In conclusion, the results suggested that increased urinary PD excretion and consequently increased estimated MN yield value for BG diet presented more potential for this diet to be synchronized with urea in calves’ rumen digestion.

Salmonella Typhimurium is an important bacterial pathogen of gastroenteritis revealing multidrug resistance and has zoonotic implication. In an approach towards alternatives to antibiotics, lytic bacteriophages were isolated against Salmonella Typhimurium from sewage effluent using double agar overlay method. The isolated bacteir ohages, viz. fST1, fST2, fST3, fST4 and fST5 were characterized microbiologically and revealed host range 85–92% individually and 100% collectively within the genus. Biophysical characterization revealed that the phages were stable at 16°, 37°, 42°C and pH 4, 7 and 9 for 3h, supporting their therapeutic application. Electron microscopic examination of the fST1 showed icosahedral head (52.5nm), contractile tail (220–250nm) belonging to the family Myoviridae and order Caudovirales. Further, molecular characterization of fST1 revealed 38kb nucleic acid and digested by restriction endonucleases i.e., EcoRI, Bam HI and Hae III. The therapeutic application of the isolated phage cocktail was ascertained in Swiss albino mice models by infecting the control and treatment groups with 3×108 cfu/ml of the organism intramuscularly and orally. Following challenge the treatment group administered with 3×109 pfu/ml of phage mixture showed significant decrease in number of colony forming units of bacteria in vivo.

Published: August 2023

The seasonality pattern in availability of grazing and browsing along with nutritional status of grazing goats in heavy rainfall region of south Gujarat were studied for a year by monitoring 360 goats from 8 villages. The nutritional status of experimental goats was judged by body condition scoring (BCS), FAMACHA (FAffa MAlan CHArt) and by analyzing packed cell volume (PCV). The availability of grazing and browsing resources was judged by participatory rural appraisal tools. The collected data wasfrequencised, tabulated and analyzed by various suitable techniques in IBM® SPSS® Statistics Version 20.0. The study revealed that a period from September to December was flush and May- August was lean period as far as availability of grazing or browsing resources. The grass is found in plenty in monsoon months; however, due to kharif crops most of the ways and roads are not accessible for goats. The BCS was highest (3.13±0.04) in winter and lowest in monsoon (2.74±0.03). The majority (57.5%) of goats was having low BCS in monsoon and good BCS in other seasons. The FAMACHA score was high in monsoon where as it was at par in winter and summer season. Frequency distribution of experimental goats based on FAMACHA score range shows that in monsoon, 40.8% and 15.8% goats were having either borderline or severe score. The PCV was significantly low (20.47±0.43) in monsoon. Overall 31.67% of goats were having low PCV indicating that they were more or less anaemic during whole year. The BCS were negatively correlated with FAMACHA and positively correlated with PCV. It can be concluded that the feed availability and nutritional status of grazing goats in south Gujarat is poor during monsoon months.

Present study aimed at modelling lactation curve in Sahiwal cattle using normalized Legendre polynomials functions of standardized units of time and understanding the variation of lactation curve in different lactations. Among the first three lactations, third lactation recorded highest peak yield as well other test day yields except the last test day yield. Further, first lactation curve was flatter compared to second and third lactation curve. Among the six different Legendre polynomial model considered higher degree Legendre polynomial model LEG5 and LEG6 fitted lactation curve better. Overall fifth degree Legendre polynomial lactation curve model (LEG5) can be used for accurate fitting for lactation curve in Sahiwal cattle as it gave almost similar accuracy like LEG6 with less parameter fitted.

Peculiarities of the patrol police unit head’s job to ensure public safety and order during military operations
Authors: Biloshytskyi Oleksii
Published: August 2023

The rapid, full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia has left the country’s defence and security forces, such as the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Police of Ukraine, and the National Guard of Ukraine, in a state of focus, resilience, and need for clear leadership. Leaders have a key role to play in preventing staff from becoming deadapted and disoriented. They must ensure that the effort organisation is structured in such a way that positive results are achieved, and losses are minimised. The research aims to study the views and opinions of scholars and practitioners on the state of the managerial and organisational potential of heads of patrol police units whose main task is to ensure public safety and order. The study used scientific and empirical methods, in particular, the synergistic approach, graphical, comparison, analysis and synthesis, and questionnaires, based on which reasonable conclusions were drawn. Following the results obtained: the conclusion regarding gaps in the procedure for interaction between patrol police officers and some law enforcement agencies and the lack of special training for actions in extreme conditions were deducted. It is established that patrol police officers are guided by a sense of national patriotism, which is formed through persuasion, moral support, and the example of their superiors. The areas of cyber hygiene, first aid training and handling explosive devices are lacking. The analysis of the reports of the heads of the services showed a positive trend in reducing the number of offences and deaths on the country’s roads. The practical value of this study is that it is in demand, as it reveals the actual problematic issues of the professional competence of a patrol police officer who is involved every day in ensuring public safety and order in different regions of the country with atypical levels of threats and dangers. It is the basis for further scientific study and solution of problematic aspects of patrol police service in the context of martial law and active hostilities by the aggressor country
Critical analysis of palliative surgical therapy for advanced thoracic esophageal cancer
Authors: Aquino Jose Luis Braga de , Leandro -Merhi Vania Aparecida
Published: August 2023

Although malignant neoplasm of the esophagus is a disease with a high incidence, its diagnosis is often still delayed. This fact combined with excessive weight loss due to dysphagia and the association with car-diopulmonary diseases resulting from excessive tobacco use, makes these patients have a difficult clinical control, which explains that more than 50% of them require palliative treatment. The ideal scenario would be to perform procedures that provide an adequate quality of life and with satisfactory rescue of swallowing, without the need for frequent hospitalizations and with a low rate of complications. Thus, this chapter aims to discredit the indications and results of palliative methods and especially shunt surgeries, discussing the technique of isoperistaltic gastric tube of great healing (GIT). In the Department of Surgery of Hospital PUC Campinas, 143 patients with unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (T4b) were studied, and all of them had clinical conditions to be submitted to GIT. In the early postoperative evaluation, 64p (44.7%) presented systemic complications, with pulmonary infection being the most frequent; 51p (35.6%) presented local complications, with dehiscence of the cervical esophagogastric anastomosis being the most frequent. 13p (9.1%) died due to postoperative complications. Of the 112 patients who were properly followed, 91 (81.2%) presented good palliation with this procedure, with adequate swallowing rescue. Chemoradiation was performed after the TGI in 82 patients, with a mean survival of 3 years in 63 patients (76.8%). With these results, it is possible to conclude that despite the postoperative morbidity not being negligible, the TGI can be performed safely, especially after the advent of mechanical suture, because it offers adequate palliation and survival. In addition, this procedure has the advantage of simultaneously providing good drainage of the esophagus and stomach, and thus potentially avoiding esophageal mucocele.

The central part of historic cities is developed by ordinary residential buildings that do not correspond to the current architectural and functional requirements and building codes, and therefore require comprehensive reconstruction. Therefore, it is essential to explore the types of residential development in historic cities and the current state of the planning structure of historic apartments, which will allow for professional restoration in the future. The purpose of this research was to determine the current state of historic buildings, and their architectural features, and to propose the basic principles of reconstruction of residential buildings of different historical eras. The research used general scientific research methods (method of comparison, method of analysis) and special methods: typological classification, architectural and planning, three-dimensional, stylistic and retrospective analysis, and graphic comparison. It has been established that in modern urban development today there is a significant share of residential buildings from previous historical eras and styles, consisting of: detached urban estates with their courtyard, ordinary street buildings of 2-4 floors with courtyards, offices and entrance gates, multi-storey buildings, etc. Detached urban estates have now lost their original function as housing and are mainly used as public facilities. Residential buildings of street-level construction have several disadvantages, from the chaotic redevelopment of apartments with access to bathrooms through kitchens or the development of dark rooms to the loss of structural stability of the buildings. Thus, to improve the comfort level of existing apartments in residential buildings from previous historical eras, it is advisable to develop comprehensive programmes for the reconstruction of this type of housing. The practical value of this research is that the recommendations for the reconstruction and preservation of residential buildings from previous historical eras can be used in the reconstruction of existing residential buildings in the central historical cities of Ukraine, and considered in strategies for the reconstruction of residential buildings after the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war

In the current conditions of globalisation and rapid development of market competition, effective investment attraction is becoming a critical success factor for enterprises in the trade sector. The purpose of this study is to analyse ways to attract investment in the development of the economic potential of commercial enterprises and substantiate the areas for potential development. In the course of the study, methods of statistical analysis of enterprise reporting data, methods of abstraction and generalisation were used. The paper discusses such strategies as the active use of digital technologies for business promotion, focus on startups and innovative projects, environmental responsibility and social orientation of businesses, new methods of attracting investment, such as crowdfunding and the use of cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies, and attracting corporate investments and partnerships. Various areas of attracting investment were compared, including bank lending, private placement of shares, initial public offering of shares, and raising venture capital. These advantages and disadvantages of each area help businesses understand which approach might be most appropriate for their specific needs. The factors influencing the choice of investment attraction strategy for commercial enterprises are considered. First of all, the company must define its goals and needs for investment, analyse the market situation, assess financial stability and solvency, and assess risks and potential profitability. Next, the company can choose the most suitable investment attraction tool in accordance with its goals and market conditions. The company METRO Cash and Carry Ukraine is analysed as one of the leaders among commercial enterprises in Ukraine. METRO Cash and Carry Ukraine uses an innovative policy of investing in economic potential, actively raising funds for automation and optimisation of activities, and uses leasing to expand its network with minimising risks. In general, attracting investment is very important for the growth of an enterprise and the successful implementation of its economic potential, the choice of investment attraction strategy is crucial for the growth of trading enterprises, helping to secure the necessary financial resources and increase their competitiveness

A case study of peat drainability assessment based on the tier 1 method of roundtable on sustainable palm oil (RSPO) was conducted in three estates covering over 1 421 hectares of oil palm planted in contiguous deep peat. The objective of the study was to understand whether the land can be replanted with oil palm for future cultivation as per RSPO principle 7, criterion 7.7 and indicator 7.7.5. The factors surveyed and measured were the peat land area cultivated, its elevation, thickness, subsidence, determination of drainage base, daily measuring of mean water level at outlet to nearest waterbody, depth to the drainage base and finally the drainage limit time (DLT) for replanting and cultivation of oil palm. Based on the evaluation in 1 421 hectares, it was measured and observed that the depth to the drainage base was higher than the peat thickness in 526 hectares (37%). In such condition if organic matter is fully subsided, the land is suitable to be cultivated with oil palm on the underlying gleyic alluvium soil. In the rest of the fields of 895 hectares (63%) the peat thickness or depth was higher than the depth to the drainage base while the balance of 204 hectares of land have the DLT of less than 40 years (calculated at 5 cm default value of subsidence). The balance of 690 hectares with DLT more than 40 years can be replanted and cultivated with oil palm, provided that stringent water management programmes are implemented in place to reduce the subsidence of peat for prolonged cultivation. Keywords: Peat subsidence, peat drainage assessment, drainage limit time drainage base.
INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE AND GRADING OF FRESH FOOD BRUNCHES ON OIL CONTENT AND OIL EXTRACTION RATIO IN OIL PALM
Authors: ALI NASIM , T NAGENDRA RAO
Published: August 2023

Cultivation of oil palm in India was started during the late 1980s under Government’s initiative and the state of Andhra Pradesh has the largest hectarage cultivated with oil palm. So far, in India, an area of 0.372 million hectare is under oil palm and it is cultivated mostly as a smallholders’ crop. Variations in oil extraction ratio (OER) at palm oil mills are often observed with seasons and grading standards. This study was undertaken to understand the effect of temperature and grading on oil content and OER. The study revealed that temperature had a negative correlation with OER and oil to bunch percentage. Fruit grading plays an important role in improving OER through enhanced oil to bunch percentage. Keywords: Oil palm, oil extraction ratio, oil to bunch percentage, temperature, grading

Three methods of land preparation in oil palm replanting are described, attempted and observations recorded for a period of 11 to 14 years. In method A carried out in 2006 replanting, the land was prepared by excavating only the stumps of Ganoderma infected fallen and vacant palms through the construction of pits. Here, after 11 and 12 years of replanting resulted in 18 and 21 per cent of BSR infections respectively, while, after 14 years the infection increased to 28.5 per cent in the same replants. In method B, comprising of two fields replanted in 2009 and 2008 after clean clearing or 100 per cent removal of boles of living, dead and vacant palm points followed by two rounds of thorough disc ploughing and single rotovating of the soil, showed 5.8 and 8.5 per cent of Ganoderma infections after 11 and 12 years, respectively. Although method C was a slow and expensive operation, 100 per cent excavation of living, dead and vacant palm boles followed by deep ploughing or tilting of the soil with the excavator bucket showed 2 per cent Ganoderma disease after 11 years of replanting. Among the three modes of land preparation, methods B and C showed a delay in infection of Ganoderma in replants compared to method A. The excavator bucket used in method C for deep tilting prompted the search for other tools like Howard ripper and fabricated steel ripper mounted on a bulldozer, of which the latter was found suitable and has been implemented commercially. However, the cost of such operation was 2.6 times (i.e. RM2 030 against RM769 per hectare) higher than the preparation of land by method A in replanting. Another study was conducted to understand the relationship between the visually observed Ganoderma palms and normal appearing palms with Ganoderma infection at the sub-clinical level. This may be helpful for planters to predict the total Ganoderma infected palms present in the field prior to replanting. The relationship appeared to be a cubical expression between the visual and total Ganoderma population in a field prior to replanting. Keywords: Ganoderma disease, basal stem rot, clean clearing, land preparation, replanting, deep ploughing.
