Published: August 2024

Proper characterization of estrous cycle is a key factor for improvement of fertility performance in buffaloes. The present study aimed to inspect the ambience of immune cells in uterine milieu during estrous and diestrus in Egyptian buffaloes. Transrectal ultrasonographic and histological examinations of buffalos' genitalia were also performed. Fifty buffalos' reproductive tracts were collected from a local abattoir directly after slaughtering. Obtained genitalia were conveyed within 1.5 hours to the laboratory. Uterine fluids were harvested, stained, and used for enumeration of immune cells. Ovarian and uterine specimens were used for histological investigations. Results revealed upregulation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) as well as monocytes in uterine milieu of estrous buffaloes. On the contrary, eosinophils and lymphocytes were increased in diestrus buffaloes. Histological investigations of estrous buffalos' genitalia showed ovarian mature graafian follicle, high to medium pseudo-stratified columnar endometrial epithelium, dilated endometrial glands, peri-glandular inflammatory cells infiltration, and edema. Diestrus buffalos yielded ovarian corpus luteum and medium to low simple columnar endometrial epithelium. Ultrasonographic estrous scanning showed anechoic mature follicle, uniformly echogenic uterine horn containing anechoic estrous mucus. Diestrus buffaloes showed uniform echogenic uterus and dense ovarian echogenic corpus luteum with cavity. In conclusion, the existence of immune cells in uterine milieu, ovarian and uterine histology as well as ultrasonographic scanning varies bigly between estrous and diestrus. These findings might elucidate in a part, identification, and differentiation between estrous and diestrus buffaloes predominantly those which did not manifest clear clinical signs of heat.

Published: August 2024

Introduction:
Bleeding from esophageal varices (EV) is an important complication of portal hypertension and a major cause of death in patients with chronic liver disease. In Nigeria, hepatitis B and C viral infection and alcohol are the leading causes of portal hypertension and EV arising from liver cirrhosis. The study aimed to present data on bleeding EV during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in Calabar, Cross River State (CRS).

Methodology:
This was a descriptive retrospective study of patients with bleeding EV who had EGD performed at two health facilities in Calabar, CRS, from November 2012 to May 2024. Patients’ demographics and endoscopy findings were obtained from the endoscopy registers, entered into a spreadsheet, and analyzed statistically using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 software. Continuous variables were summarized using means ± standard deviation, whereas frequencies and percentages were used for categorical variables.

Results:
A total of 165 patients who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding had EGD performed during the study period. Fifty-five (33.3%) of these patients had EV. The age range of patients with bleeding EV was 24-78 years, with a mean age of 45.1 years (SD ± 14.6) and a male: female ratio of 5.9:1. All the patients with bleeding esophageal varices had background chronic liver disease.

Conclusion:
Bleeding esophageal varices are a significant cause of upper GI bleeding in our study population, especially among those with chronic liver disease.

There were 256 males (70.9%) and 105 females (29.1%) with a mean age of 53.7 (SD ±15.3) years. Hemorrhoids (124, 34.3%) followed by suspected colorectal/anorectal malignancy (81, 22.4%) and diverticular disease (58, 16.1%) were the patients’ main pathologies identified.

Conclusion:
Endoscopy is important in the diagnosis of LGIB. Hemorrhoids and suspected colorectal/anorectal malignancy are the leading causes of LGIB in our environment, respectively.
Resistome of the Human Gut Microbiome – A Reservoir for Emerging Threats: A Minireview
Authors: Eissa Mostafa
Published: August 2024

The human gut microbiome harbors a vast array of microbes, with antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) posing a growing threat. The widespread use of antibiotics disrupts this delicate balance, fostering the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB). This phenomenon, termed the "gut resistome," weakens the effectiveness of antibiotics and necessitates a multifaceted approach to combat it. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) via plasmids and transposons plays a key role in disseminating ARGs within the gut microbiome. Bacteria employ various mechanisms to evade antibiotics, including efflux pumps, enzymatic modification, and ribosomal modification. The rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria necessitates exploring alternative therapies like phage therapy and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Curbing antibiotic resistance demands a "One Health" approach that integrates human and animal healthcare with environmental monitoring. Responsible antibiotic use, public education, and research into novel antimicrobials are crucial. Additionally, manipulating the gut microbiome through prebiotics, probiotics, and dietary changes offers promise. Artificial intelligence holds immense potential for accelerating the discovery of new antibiotic classes. Understanding the dynamics of the gut resistome is vital for developing effective strategies to combat antibiotic resistance. While it presents a significant challenge, the resistome may also hold the key to novel therapeutic solutions through "reverse pharmacology." By studying resistance mechanisms and exploiting the potential of alternative therapies, we can ensure effective healthcare for future generations.

Published: August 2024

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of feed form and feed distribution mode on the bio-economic performance of laying hens.
Materials and Methods: 144 ISA Brown laying hens aged 22 weeks were divided into six treat¬ments with four replicates. The treatments are based on a balanced feed and an unbalanced supplement fed with crushed corn. The treatments were as follows: Mashed Balanced Feed; pel¬leted balanced feed (PBF); mashed supplement in the morning and crushed corn in the afternoon (MSC); crushed corn in the morning and mashed supplement in the afternoon (CMS); pelleted supplement in the morning and crushed corn in the afternoon (PSC); and pelleted supplement mixed with corn (PSmC). The data were analyzed in R 4.1.0 software. Student’s t-test was used to compare the feed forms, while a one-factor analysis of variance was used to compare the feeding modes.
Results: The results showed similarity in feed intake and egg weight for the feed supplement form and feeding mode (p > 0.05). The feed conversion ratio, feed cost, and economic feed efficiency of hens in the mashed and pelleted supplement were, respectively, 132.68 vs. 162.77 gm feed/egg, 32.01 vs. 42.38 Franc des colonies française d’Afrique (XOF) (FCFA)/egg, and 1.8 vs. 1.42 FCFA of egg/FCFA of feed. The MSC feeding mode showed better bio-economic performance.
Conclusion: An unbalanced mashed supplement fed in the morning with crushed corn in the afternoon is recommendable for laying hen production in the tropical region.

Authors: Thanki D S , Gohil G D
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the comparative analysis between brick walls and stone walls, focusing on their historical development, construction techniques, structural arrangements, aesthetics, environmental impacts, and economic considerations. The utilization of bricks as a construction material can be traced back to 7000 B.C. in Mesopotamia, with notable progressions occurring circa 2500 B.C. following the innovation of kiln firing, resulting in more robust and long-lasting bricks. Throughout history, bricks have been utilized in significant architectural endeavors such as the Great Wall of China and Roman aqueducts, with the Industrial Revolution further enhancing their cost-effectiveness and manufacturing efficiency. Conversely, stone walls are renowned for their endurance, visual attractiveness, and historical importance. Although brick walls are favored for their cost-effectiveness and ease of construction, stone walls are chosen for their durability and aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, the study highlights the environmental concerns associated with brick manufacturing, specifically the emissions from kiln firing and transportation. By scrutinizing these facets, the paper aims to offer a comprehensive insight to assist in decision-making concerning the selection of suitable materials for construction undertakings. Both materials possess distinct advantages and drawbacks, rendering them suitable for specific circumstances and purposes. Key Words: brick, stone, concrete block, load bearing capacity

Symbolic discrimination and material deprivation of historically disadvantaged groups in India
Authors:   University of Copenhagen, Urzainqui David Garcés
Published: August 2024

It is widely understood that the ultimate goal of eliminating material deprivation through broadly shared economic development is giving people the means to lead lives they have reason to value, as formulated in Amartya Sen’s capability approach. However, in ndia, it is critical to keep in mind when evaluating progress in poverty reduction that, for historically disadvantaged groups, economic disadvantage is compounded by the persistence of various forms of derogatory treatment based on their caste identity. It is undeniable that hierarchical elements rooted in the ritual origins of caste continue to be a part of caste’s influence over contemporary India. The most blatant expression of such hierarchical elements is the persistence of extreme forms of derogatory treatment and social exclusion imposed on those in the lowest rank of the ‘traditional’ Hindu social order, Dalits (referred to as Scheduled Castes in administrative data sources, and formerly called ‘Untouchables’). How often do material deprivation and social disabilities come together for those at the bottom of India´s caste hierarchy? This paper aims to investigate the links between the living standards of Dalits and the prevalence of symbolic discrimination against them in India.

A teoria-prática como eixo estruturante da formação de professores de matemática na modalidade a distância
Authors: Fernandes Zenilda Botti
Published: August 2024

Este estudo trata de uma pesquisa desenvolvida no curso de Licenciatura em Matemática na Modalidade a distância oferecido pela Universidade Federal do Pará, por meio da Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB). Estou atuando neste curso desde a sua implantação, em 2007, razão pela qual fui motivada a investigar, frente aos desafios do seu contexto. Tenho por objetivos analisar e refletir sobre as possibilidades de ocorrência da relação teoria-prática, especificamente durante os estágios, dadas as condições de seu acompanhamento, realização e avaliação. Para tanto, adotei a abordagem histórico-dialética por considerá-la adequada ao estudo sobre formação de professores, um processo dinâmico, crítico e transformador, que tem na práxis seus fundamentos ontológicos e epistemológicos. A composição dos dados foi oriunda de fontes bibliográficas, documentais, orais e observação, com  a participação de professores formadores e tutores presenciais do curso. Os resultados da pesquisa revelaram concepções de teoria antecedendo à prática (hierarquização) nas disciplinas (fragmentação), e que o estágio se constitui na aplicação de modelos para instrumentalização técnica, dissociando teoria-prática na formação inicial. Reflito que essa constatação é reveladora dos desafios e das possibilidades engendradas pela integração simultânea e recíproca dos componentes curriculares que abrigam conteúdos teórico-práticos e instrumentais do curso, razão pela qual as contribuições advindas desta investigação se situam na perspectiva colaborativa à aprendizagem da docência de Matemática na Amazônia Paraense. Nesse sentido, creio ser necessária uma reflexão propositiva para o enfrentamento da questão do estágio na EAD  e da ressignificação da prática pedagógica na compreensão da unicidade teoria-prática ao longo do curso.

CONSANGUINEOUS MARRIAGE BETWEEN SHARIA, LAW AND MEDICINE
Authors: Aissaoui Fatma
Published: August 2024

Objectives: This study aims to explore the Islamic Sharia's guidelines on marriage, specifically identifying which female relatives a man is forbidden to marry and which are permissible. It also seeks to examine the medical implications of consanguineous marriages, particularly in terms of genetic disease transmission and fetal deformities. The study’s ultimate objective is to reconcile religious principles with modern medical advice to ensure both the stability of the family and the health and safety of future generations.
 
Methods: The study will analyze Islamic Sharia texts and Algerian law to determine the specific categories of female relatives a man is either prohibited or permitted to marry. It will also review medical literature on the risks associated with consanguineous marriages, focusing on genetic disorders and the prevalence of fetal deformities. The research will include consultations with both religious scholars and medical experts to provide a comprehensive understanding of the issue.
 
Results: The findings are expected to clarify the Islamic Sharia’s stance on permissible and forbidden marriages among relatives, highlighting the wisdom behind these rulings in the context of family stability and protection from diseases. Additionally, the study will identify the medical risks associated with consanguineous marriages, reinforcing modern medicine’s strong advice against such practices due to the potential for genetic diseases and fetal deformities.
 
Conclusion: The study concludes that while Islamic Sharia provides clear guidelines on permissible and forbidden marriages, modern medicine emphasizes the risks associated with consanguineous marriages. To ensure the health and safety of future generations, it is crucial to consider both religious principles and medical advice. This balanced approach can help prevent genetic disorders and protect the integrity of the family, aligning religious practices with contemporary health considerations.

Authors: Majeda Derouiche , Lamine Selkh Mohammed
Published: August 2024

Objective: Algeria suffers from a shortage of prepared and suitable lands to attract investment projects, especially in the north of the country. Therefore, the legislator strives every time to find legal mechanisms that allow him to expand the state's real estate portfolio and which is directed to promoting industrial investment in particular. Among these mechanisms is the attempt to acquire lands owned by private individuals in order to re-grant them to investors. With the issuance of Law No. 23-17 on economic real estate and its related regulatory texts, we find that it has included two mechanisms in this regard: the mechanism for the state to acquire private real estate located in areas prepared and capable of receiving investment projects, in addition to the mechanism of pre-emption for the purpose of purchasing any economic real estate owned by private ownership and offered for assignment. The legislator's resort to these two mechanisms raises some concerns about the possibility of their infringement on the constitutionally established protection of private property, as well as their infringement on the principles of legal security, which will inevitably affect the attractiveness of the investment climate in Algeria, especially for foreign investors.
 
Methods: Through this article, we try to highlight the legal methods adopted by the legislator to acquire economic real estate owned by private individuals, and its impact on economic investment and the principle of legal security, relying on the descriptive and analytical approach appropriate for such topics.
 
Results: Among the results reached in this field, despite the noble objective of the legislator in developing the national economy, this new mechanism and the right of preemption may encroach upon individuals' rights and diminish the guarantees for the protection of their private property, especially if there is a violation of the principles of legal security.
 
Conclusion: At the end of this article, we present a set of recommendations that help make the legislative text regulating the state’s acquisition of private real estate of an economic nature a legally controlled process that does not lead to infringement of the rights of owners or the principles of legal security.

High blood pressure is often seen as a common health problem in the elderly. However, recent findings suggest that adolescents can also experience hypertension. Hypertension that occurs in adolescence tends to continue into adulthood. This study aims to determine the relationship between nutritional status and physical activity and blood pressure in students aged 16-18 years at SMA Negeri 7 Samarinda. This study uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, conducted in February 2024 involving 56 respondents. The results of the analysis using the Pearson Chi-Square Test showed a significant relationship between nutritional status (p=0.032) and physical activity (p=0.011) and blood pressure in this age group. Thus, it is important to pay attention to diet and physical activity to reduce the risk of hypertension and health complications in adulthood.
