Insect pests cause huge economic losses to stored grain cereals and pulses in tropical and subtropical areas around the globe. The level of damage and losses caused by different insect pests varies depending upon the infesting species, type of food materials, duration of storage and structures. The information about the diversity of infesting species, their dispersal and abundance are key for devising effective pest management techniques against storage insect pests. The present study aimed to collect information on the distribution, relative abundance and biodiversity of major insect pests of stored cowpeas in Dera Ismail Khan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and its adjoining Punjab province areas of Pakistan. The areas selected for biodiversity studies were Paniala, Mankera, Bhakkar, Paharpur, Kulachi, Ramak, Dera Ismail Khan, Darya Khan, Notak and Behal. A vast survey of godowns was conducted to find out the population dynamics of insect pests of stored cowpeas and to explore the % grains damage and weight losses in the mentioned areas. For the collection of samples, a spear sampler was used to collect 500-gram samples from the top, middle and bottom portions of the bags. Samples were preserved in plastic containers and after 30 days, were sieved out with the help of a 2mm mesh sieve to remove different types of dead and alive insects. A total of five species representing two distinct orders i.e., Coleoptera and Lepidoptera. Coleopterans are Callosobruchus maculatus, Tribolium castaneum, Oryzaephilus surinamensis, Trogoderma granarium belonged to four families including Chrysomelidae, Tenebrionidae, Silvanidae, Dermestidae and Lepidopteron are Sitotroga cerealella belonging to family Gelechidae. The most abundant species among all the recorded insect pests of cowpea was C. maculatus (53.60%) followed by T. castaneum (18.60%), S. cerealella (16.97%), O. surinamensis (6.49%) and T. granarium (04.34%). The maximum infestation (26.98%) and weight loss (28.91%) of cowpea was recorded in Darya Khan followed by Dera Ismail Khan (22.70% and 26.33%), whereas; minimum % infestation and weight losses were recorded in Bhakkar (16.91% and 17.14%) area showing significant differences between the surveyed areas. The C. maculatus is the most abundant specie of the stored cowpea grains in the surveyed areas and needs management tactics to minimize the post-harvest grains losses. The population of C. maculatus starts to build up during the month of March (23.30⁰C and 56.25% RH) and reaches at peak in May (35.32⁰C and 68.88% RH). Special measures should be taken during these months to minimize the infestation and losses caused by C. maculatus.

Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek), is a popular short-duration legume crop which is mostly cultivated in South and Southeast Asian countries. It is a rich source of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, and fibers. As an important source of dietary protein, it is usually consumed as whole seed or flour, or as sprouts. Cercospora Leaf Spot of Mungbean (CLSM) is a destructive disease caused by Cercospora canescens, which affects the whole crop, and causing 95% of yield losses. To mitigate these yield losses, five plant defense activators dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (K2HPO4), salicylic acid, carboxylic acid, citric acid, and benzoic acid were used in current study with 3 different concentrations (0.25, 0.5, and 0.75%) in a field trial arranged in randomized complete block design. Our field experiments revealed salicylic acid treated plants with minimum disease incidence (21.798%) followed by citric acid (25.131%), dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (27.466%), benzoic acid (29.064%), and carboxylic acid (35.043%) compared to untreated check. This revelation suggested the salicylic acid as a potent antifungal agent by activating the Mungbean defense systems for the management of CLSM.

Authors: Abduh Mohammad Abdullah
Published: January 2024

This study investigates the attitudes of international undergraduate students in India toward Zoom-based learning and its implication on the willingness to communicate using four skill areas: speaking, reading, writing, and listening. The study was conducted at Aligarh Muslim University, sampling 46 undergraduates studying in different departments. Data were collected quantitatively through an online questionnaire and analyzed using the SPSS. Results of the descriptive statistics indicated that international students in India have positive attitudes toward Zoom-based language learning. Although they perceive it as an interesting novel learning tool, they prefer face-to-face to online learning. The results showed that Zoom is a flexible, encouraging tool, providing real-time interaction and participation and immediate teacher feedback. Based on the findings, this learning mode has a relatively high effect on reading and listening skills and a low effect on speaking and writing skills. In light of these findings, the study recommends that teachers exert effort in involving students in speaking and writing during Zoom sessions. It also suggests that teachers and learners integrate Zoom-based learning more effectively.

Published: January 2024

Adult Cyprinus carpio were collected from two government sponsored fish ponds located at Fish Dale and Laitkyrhong, East Khasi Hills District, Meghalaya, India. The effects of pollutants on haematological parameters of Cyprinus carpio were studied. The results showed a decline in RBC and WBC count and haemoglobin content in fishes collected from Laitkyrhong. Micronucleus assaywas carried out following standard protocols and observations were made using Olympus, BX- 53 image analyser, CellSens Standard (software). Analysis showed a number of micronucleus and nuclear abnormalities of the erythrocytes of Cyprinus carpio from Laitkyrhong as compared to fishes from Fish Dale. Scanning Electron Microscopy study revealed swollen erythrocytes called spherocytes, ruptured erythrocytes and crenations at the erythrocyte membranes while the control erythrocytes showed normal features. The Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopic analysis was by INCA-7582 (Oxford) Energy Dispersive X-ray microanalyser equipped with a Si (Li) high resolution detector attached to the scanning electron microscope, JSM-6360 (Jeol). Differences in the EDS spectra of RBCs from control, Laitkyrhong and Fish Dale fishes were observed to be in terms of Silicon (Si), Aluminium (Al) and Titanium (Ti) were absent in the control sample. The presence of silicon in erythrocytes of fishes inhabiting Fish Dale and Laitkyrhong area suggests that silicon may be the main factor for the various deformities in the haematological parameters of Cyprinus carpio. The deformities observed may affect the growth and survival of these fishes. Therefore, there is a constant need to check the flow of polluted waters in the rearing ponds especially during the rainy seasons. The present study suggests that haematological study may serve as a tool in determining the health of the fish and the type of environment in which it lives.

Published: January 2024

Dijital platformlar, toplumun yapısını, kurulu düzenini değiştiren, bireyler arasında var olan toplumsal ilişkileri yeniden şekillendiren, üreten ve yorumlayan önemli bir yaşam alanıdır. Tüm sınırları ve farkları ortadan kaldıran dijital platformların her şeye izin verme ve her şeyi olumlama çabası like toplumunun oluşumuna neden olmuştur. Like toplumunda önemli olan her türlü olumsuzluğun ortadan kaldırılmasıdır. Böylece Öteki’den ve Öteki’nin yol açacağı her türlü kaygı durumdan özenle kaçınılır. Ancak Öteki’nin olmadığı yerde aynılaşma gerçekleşir. Aynılaşma, bir bakıma imha da demektir, Ben ile Öteki arasındaki sınırları zamanla eritir, çatışmayı ortadan kaldırır ve her şey bir süre sonra pürüzsüzleştirir. Bu çalışma, Han’ın temel kavramları çerçevesinde günümüzün hakim küresel düzenin, Öteki’ni yok sayarak bireyin benliğinde yarattığı yıkıcı etkileri üzerine temellenmektedir. Burada temel problem, artık ötekinin getirdiği negatiflikten değil doğrudan ötekini yok sayarak bir yıkım sürecine giren bireylerin nasıl aynılaştıklarını analiz etmektir. Bu çalışma, hızlanma adına her türlü olumsuzluğu (öteki, yabancı, kaygı…) tasfiye eden dijital platformların Ben’de yarattığı anlam krizinin etkilerini incelemeyi hedeflemektedir. Öteki’likten yalıtılmış, insanın sadece kendi benzerleriyle karşılaştığı dijital mekanlarda birey, kendi başka’lığını unutmuştur. Bu çalışmanın önemi, bireye kendi başka’lığını yeniden hatırlatacak, öteki’ne dönüş imkanları yaratmasıdır.

This research focuses on the green synthesis of Nickel Oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) using Musa paradisiaca, commonly known as banana plant, as a cost-effective and eco-friendly approach. Musa paradisiaca, utilized in traditional medicine, possesses various medicinal properties, including antioxidant, antibiotic, allogeneic, and hypoglycemic antimicrobial attributes. The peduncle extract of Musa paradisiaca serves as a reducing and capping agent for NiO nanoparticle synthesis. Characterization techniques such as XRD, EDX, and UV-vis spectroscopy were employed to analyze the properties of the synthesized NiO nanoparticles. XRD analysis confirmed an average grain size of 15.26nm, while SEM images revealed round cubic-shaped nanoparticles with a highly crystalline structure. The antibacterial activity of NiO nanoparticles was investigated against bacterial strains, including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bordetella bronchiectasis, and Bacillus subtilis, demonstrating effective antibacterial properties. Furthermore, the catalytic power of the synthesized nanoparticles was evaluated through the degradation of methyl blue and methyl orange dyes under sunlight and UV light. The results indicated superior degradation efficiency under sunlight compared to UV light for both dyes. Additionally, the study explored the adsorption activity of NiO nanoparticles for chromium (VI) at various concentrations, with the best adsorption percentage recorded at 17.23% under pH 4.
Exilio en acogimiento mutuo
Authors: Paredes Gascón Antonio
Published: January 2024

El presente artículo es homenaje sincero a la memoria del Doctor Pablo Posada Varela, fenomenólogo español a quien tuve la suerte de conocer personalmente. Quedé al instante prendado por el misterio de su alma y su aura atrayente y llena de futuro, acogedora. Aquí me he centrado en el estudio que Posada Varela hace sobre un poema de Antonio Machado, descubriendo las «galerías del alma» como los lugares más íntimos de nuestra vida afectiva, que siguiendo a su maestro Richir califica Posada Varela como aquellos que en estratos se abren a diversos niveles en la arquitectura de la subjetividad. Nosotros hemos leído la interpretación que hace el fenomenólogo español de Machado acudiendo a los textos mismos de Richir. Y desde ahí descubrimos que la fenomenología del exilio esbozada por Posada Varela podría comprenderse como un pensamiento de lo que nosotros llamamos ya el «acogimiento mutuo».

Published: January 2024

La vida de cada cual es contingente, pero es una contingencia necesaria para una porción de vidas; aunque me atrevo a decir, incluso, que así es para la creación en continuidad. Creo que nosotros tenemos misión. La misión implica que aquello que no haga alguien quedará sin hacerse tal y como lo podría hacer esa persona. En otras palabras, la misión de cada cual, como la propia vida, exige y es disyunción ,―o esto o aquello, así o de otro modo. Y si tenemos en cuenta, que la realidad es sistemática, y que un sistema es orden de los elementos que se ve afectado por entero en caso de que suceda algo a alguno de los que lo componen , entonces para estar viviendo tal y como vivimos se nos revelan los otros como contingencias necesarias, imprescindibles. Bien podría hacer una aproximación a Pablo Posada desde la razón vital y algo habrá de ello a lo largo de estos párrafos, pero eso es una tarea prematura, como su muerte.
BEWEGEN, GEZONDHEID, WELZIJN, WIJSHEID - VADEMECUM
Authors: Vandamme Fernand
Published: January 2024

Met dit werk wil het team de aandacht stimuleren voor de nauwe interrelaties tussen wijsheid, kennis, welzijn en gezondheid in zijn vele vormen. Dit met het oog op de individuele en maatschappelijke verantwoordelijkheid voor het ontwikkelen van geluk en welzijn van de enkeling zowel als van de gemeenschap in milieu, cultuur, klimaat… Bij het realiseren hiervan is zeer cruciaal het “bewegen” als individu, als groep op elke leeftijd. Vergeten we hierbij niet dat gezondheid en welzijn op alle niveaus functie is van met wijsheid actief te zijn. Immers “gezondheid” en gekoppeld hieraan “welzijn” is het product van in eerste instantie met wijsheid omgaan met volgende drie basis componenten. Deze zijn (1) “bewegen”, (2) voeding van ons eigen lichaam (energie behoeften onder meer) en (3) voeding van ons persoonlijk microbioom. Immers deze drie componenten zijn het die onder meer de myokines en adipokines produceren die in zo hoge mate enorm cruciale processen in ons lichaam controleren, die cruciaal zijn voor onze cognitieve, emotieve en sociale mogelijkheden en ontwikkelingen, alsook voor onze immuniteit en weerbaarheid tegen kankers, enz… Waarom is Wijsheid hier zo belangrijk? Het doseren en keuze van beweging en voeding voor onszelf en voor onze persoonlijke microbioom is niet een eenvoudige zaak. Het vereist een zeer zelfkritische persoonlijke aandacht en engagement. Zo bijvoorbeeld een type beweging die goed is in een bepaalde mate, kan zeer dysfunctioneel zijn wanneer deze beweging “teveel” uitgevoerd wordt. Daarenboven is niet om het even welke beweging voor eenieder even nuttig. Sommige bewegingen zijn zeer goed voor het hart, andere zijn zeer efficiënt om insuline resistentie te bestrijden, enzovoort. Wijsheid betekent dus zeker niet blindelings een eenvoudig recept toe te passen. Wijsheid vereist bereidheid altijd opnieuw bij te sturen. Zichzelf, zijn omgeving in vraag te stellen. Altijd opnieuw bereid zijn zich aan te passen, oplettend voor de verkregen resultaten, met openheid voor adviezen en raad, zonder blind volgen van experts… In het bijzonder wil het team eenieder bedanken, die bijgedragen hebben om het werk van het team mogelijk te maken, onder meer door wetenschappelijke raad en advies maar ook door allerlei praktische ondersteuning. We denken hier in het bijzonder aan Dewitte A., Vandamme Mike, Vandamme Alan, E. S..

Sepsis is one of the significant problems in medicine for many decades. It is characterized by high levels of morbidity, mortality and high financial costs. The review is devoted to the cellular and molecular biological mechanisms of sepsis, including immune, biochemical changes, mitochondrial transformations, coagulopathy, neuroendocrine disorders, damage to the endoplasmic reticulum and a number of other processes that ultimately lead to multiple organ fail-ure. The article presents two directions of development of cellular and molecular biological changes in generalized inflammation, ending with a favorable or unfavorable outcome. Information on changes in the transport of cholesterol and polyunsaturated fatty acids in tissues against the background of septic processes is summarized. The mechanisms of reducing the concentration of cholesterol in tissues, the influence of hypocholesterolemia on the course of a gen-eralized inflammatory process and the development of such complications as Waterhouse – Friderichsen syndrome are discussed in detail. A concept of a chain of pathogenetic changes causing lethal outcome has been formed, and on its basis, methods for correcting metabolism in sepsis described in the literature (intravenous administration of reduced high-density lipoproteins, inhibition of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9) are considered. For the first time, the concept of treating septic conditions with cholesterol in the composition of liposomes was proposed.

The complex of habilitation and rehabilitation measures included optimization of the daily routine, conditioning exercises, music, toy and fairy tale therapy, sessions of individual play and play in small groups of 2–3 people in a separate playroom, phototherapy with bright solar spectrum lamps, enriched sensory envi-ronment, increased physical activity, differentiated drug support with L-carnitine, glycine, hopantenic acid, magnesium and pyridoxine complex. Neuropsychic development was studied using the Denver Screening Test and the Formalized Card for the Study of Psychoneurological Functions according to I.A. Skvortsov and N.A. Ermolenko. The functions of regulatory systems were assessed by the level of cortisol and melatonin in saliva, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor in blood serum. Conclusion. A comparison of the results of assessing the parameters of neuropsychic development confirmed the effec-tiveness of the proposed complex of habilitation and rehabilitation measures. Restoration of the function of regulatory systems was confirmed by normalization of the rhythms of cortisol and melatonin synthesis, as well as by a significant (3-fold) increase in the content of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the blood serum in children of the main group.

The high prevalence of overweight and obesity has become an international social problem. In Russia, every fourth woman and every fifth man is overweight. Obesity is a consequence of an imbalance between intake and consumption of organic food. There are two distin-guishable causes of overeating - hereditary metabolic disorders and everyday hyperphagia. The main cause of obesity in modern humanity is everyday hyperphagia. Obesity is an increase in the number and size of fat cells – adipocytes – in the human body. An increase in the number of cells is accompanied by an increase in the number of capillaries and cholesterol. To contain 1 kg of adipocytes, 100 km of capillaries are required, and 10 kg of adipocytes contain 25 g of cholesterol. In people with a high body mass index, each kilogram of fat requires 5.4 kcal/day. Obesity is a cause of hypertension, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, abnormal lipid levels, and type 2 diabetes. Attention is paid to the role of acetyl-CoA, which in the catabolic cycle of proteins, triglycerols and glucose is a common intermediate that can participate in energy and plastic metabolism. The heterogeneity of liver cells has been shown in terms of their ability to store glycogen and participate in gluconeogenesis. In the process of intake and consumption, food organics are first deposited in the form of glycogen, triglycerols and proteins. The consumption of deposited substances is controlled by the basal metabolism, thermogenesis and psy-chophysical activity of the individual. The share of basal metabolism accounts for 50–70 % of the total consumption of matter and energy. In this case, the expenditure of matter and energy on the basal metabolism occurs automati-cally. The primary task is the supply of oxygen, the work of the heart, the work of the kidneys and tens of hundreds of metabolic reactions are carried out without our conscious participation. Under conditions of regular and frequent nutrition, the needs of basal metabolism are provided by glycogenolysis and glycolysis. Under conditions of fasting and physical activity, triglycerols become in demand, which, through hydrolysis and subsequent oxidation of fatty acids, are converted into acetyl-CoA and used in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Under conditions of regular, excess nutrition and low physical activity, adipocyte triglycerols are in demand by the body only for basal metabolism.

Context: The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound impacts on public health, resulting in nearly 1 million deaths. Emerging evidence suggests an association between certain metabolites produced by gut microbiota and potential alterations in the severity of infection. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a waste metabolite generated by gut microbes from dietary choline and betaine. Evidence Acquisition: Several investigations have indicated an association between serum TMAO concentrations and the development of inflammation and thrombosis. Trimethylamine N-oxide, produced by the gut microbiome in a state of dysbiosis, upregulates various molecular mechanisms, such as the nuclear factor kappa (NF-kB) molecular pathway, and promotes the expression of scavenger receptors (SRs) on the surfaces of macrophages, leading to foam cell formation and inflammation. High levels of TMAO have been shown to induce the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) while reducing the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-10 (IL-10). Additionally, gut-derived TMAO enhances platelet aggregation and adhesion to collagen, increasing the risk of thrombosis. Conclusions: Understanding the association between gut microbiome compositions such as gut TMAO and their effects on SARS-CoV-19 infection progression helps to control disease severity. In this review, we presented a hypothesis that the gut TMAO has the potential to increase COVID-19 disease severity.

Background: Resolution of ST-segment (STR) and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) and frame count (TFC) are useful parameters to evaluate the reperfusion status following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Objectives: Here, the association of ejection fraction (EF), as a parameter of systolic function, with TFC and STR was assessed in patients with STEMI who underwent PPCI. Methods: Ejection fraction was evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography using Simpson’s biplane method before PPCI in the first 24 hours after the admission of STEMI patients. Also, STR and TFC were assessed in all patients after PPCI. Then, the association of EF with STR and TFC was examined before and after the operation. Results: STEMI patients with STR less or greater than 50% were comparable in terms of clinical and demographic characteristics and laboratory indices. Our results showed a weak inverse correlation between EF before PPCI and TFC (r = -0.2336, P = 0.0002). However, there was a strong inverse correlation between EF after PPCI and TFC (P < 0.0001, r = -0.3137). The results of correlation analysis showed that the mean EF (pre- and post-PPCI) was significantly higher in patients with STR of ≥50% compared to those with STR < 50%. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that EF after PPCI, as an echocardiographic indicator, could reflect the status of cardiac and microvascular perfusion. We also found that cardiac status on ECG could better reflect EF.

Background: Regular exercise is beneficial for children and teenagers in terms of physical and mental health, but it is crucial to acknowledge the potential for injuries and the lack of extensive research on the prevalence and consequences of sports-related injuries in this age group. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the occurrence of sports injuries and assess how they may affect students' mental and physical well-being. Methods: The current study was cross-sectional research conducted in Hamedan City from 1401 to 1402. The statistical population of this study consisted of students who participated in team sports. A total of 153 students, with an average age of 14.1 ± 2.8, were selected as the study population. The quality of life was assessed using the SF36 scale, while physical and mental health were evaluated using the PROMIS-2 scales. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 software and the independent t-test statistical method, with a significance level set at 0.05. Results: The research results have shown that 24.2% of student-athletes in Hamedan City suffer from sports injuries in at least one part of their body. The areas that most commonly affected were the feet and toes (16.2%), ankles (13.5%), and knees (10.8%). Furthermore, the findings from the research indicate that student-athletes with a previous history of sports injuries had a significantly lower average quality of life, physical health, social functioning, and pain interference compared to those who had not experienced such injuries (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Sports injuries are common among student-athletes who participate in team sports, and they can significantly affect both their physical and social well-being. Such injuries can have a detrimental impact on the daily lives and social interactions of adolescent athletes. Therefore, health professionals must be fully aware of these repercussions and make them a key focus when managing sports injuries.
