Published: February 2021

Animal health is the fundamental pre-requisite to secure global food safety and public health. Infectious animal diseases distress societies and damage international trade, and they continue to emerge and re-emerge. Research in veterinary science traditionally focuses on epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, control, vaccine development and animal welfare. A better understanding of animal disease's nature will improve livestock health and productivity and contribute to the various efforts to foster human health. Thus, collaborative research across countries, agencies, and institutions should be supported by generous funds, a liberal legal framework, and disseminating research results globally

Several factors and problems are influencing turkey production and health. These include intense global competition between producing countries, permanent changes in social, political and consumer perceptions regarding food safety, animal welfare and environmental protection. Several human foodborne infections are linked to poultry and poultry products, causing a serious challenge because it is difficult to control. Moreover, contamination of the turkey meat and product with antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a constant public health hazard. The loss of consumer confidence and trust in turkey meat product safety and quality will also be a major concern. The current and future turkey health concepts should cover the control of diseases in birds and the relationship between bird’s health, welfare and environmental protection. Additionally, infectious turkey diseases' emergence and re-emergence will remain an important and never-ending challenge. Only a few authorized pharmaceutical veterinary products are available to treat turkeys. The development of efficient vaccines and natural antimicrobials against bacterial infections will reduce antibiotic use and reduce resistant bacteria's development. Genetic selective breeding to improve production traits and health is a long-standing goal of the turkey industry. Furthermore, rearing technology, management, and feeding will help maintain the birds healthy and comfortable. Finally, all other partners involved in the production chain, including farmers, veterinarians, stockholders, need to collaborate to meet the consumer expectations for high quality and safe products

Enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) is a notifiable infectious disease with sporadic fre-quency in Albania. EBL is not a zoonotic disease, but it has an important impact on the cattle trade. Diagnosis of this disease can be performed by many diagnostic proce-dures, including agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests. In some cases, where persis-tent lymphocytosis is present, cell count can turn useful. This study aimed to evaluate serological and hematological tests' suitability for the diagnosis of EBL and assess the manual and automatic hematological count technique diagnostic parameters com-pared to the serological test. Results suggest that strategic use of hematological and AGID tests in parallel can increase the sensitivity of diagnosis and facilitate the detec-tion of infected animals in different disease stages. Moreover, our results indicate that this approach is feasible in small scale cattle herds size, which properly fits Albanian circumstances

Published: February 2021

Abstract:

Introduction: Thyroid gland is one of the most important endocrine organs in human body performing multiple functions to maintain homeostasis. Thyroid nodular disease is a frequently encountering problem in surgical OPD that could be malignant or benign. It is more common in females than in males and is expecting that after a decade or so, it will be the 2nd most common malignancy in women. Ultrasound guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and core needle biopsy (CNB) are two modalities use to diagnose thyroid swelling preoperatively. Multiple techniques are used to manage thyroid swellings, depending on type and size of thyroid enlargement. Total thyroidectomy, radical and subtotal thyroidectomies are few examples. As thyroid has rich blood supply, ensuring early hemostasis is of vital importance as it directly affects duration of operation as well as visibility of surgical site and intra operative bleeding. Newer techniques include use of harmonic scalpel device that can seal and dissect blood vessels simultaneously by coagulating proteins present in blood vessels, decreasing duration of operation and better hemostasis.

Objective: This study was done to evaluate the operative duration, post-operative complications and drain output after thyroidectomy with and without use of harmonic scalpel device. 

Material and Methods: Randomized controlled trial was conducted at Surgical Unit 3 of Lahore General Hospital between July 2018 and June 2019. Written informed consent was acquired from all of the patients. All participants underwent near total or total thyroidectomy and were euthyroid at the time of surgery.  All participants were randomly allocated to one of the two study groups using lottery method. All the data was collected using preformed questionnaire and was evaluated through SPSS v 25.

Inclusion criteria:  Age group of 20–70 years and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I–II.

Exclusion criteria: Morbidities (e.g., coagulopathy, diabetes, hypertension, ischemic heart disease).

Results: Out of 50 patients 35 patients were female with mean age group of 47±4.8 years. 25 participants were enrolled in group in which Harmonic Scalpel device was used while 25 patients underwent conventional method. Mean duration of thyroidectomy from skin incision to skin closure in group with use of harmonic scalpel was 104.19±13.67 minutes while in conventional group it was 128.62 ± 11.76 minutes. Mean output of fluid/blood in drain post operatively in group treated with harmonic scalpel was 48.82±16.56 while in conventional group, post-operative drain output was 89.45±23.21ml.

Conclusion: Harmonic device is both useful and widely used hemostatic tool in thyroid gland surgery. This device is safe and more compelling than the conventional monopolar diathermy.
Reasons for refusals during Polio Vaccination Campaigns in Posh Areas of Lahore
Authors: Rashid Junaid , Khalid Waheed
Published: February 2021

One of the main challenges faced during polio campaigns in Pakistan is to tackle the refusals during campaign days. A lot of people are observed refusing oral polio vaccination (OPV) of their children. I worked in eight different campaigns during my duties as deputy district health officer in Cantt. zone Lahore. As Cantt. Zone Lahore has the posh area i.e. Defence Housing Authority (DHA), Cavalry Ground, and Army Cantt Area, so I will mention the reasons for these refusals according to these posh areas.

Frequent polio campaigns is the prime concern shown by the parents. They usually ask why Govt. is so much concerned about these campaigns and that why these are happening frequently. They usually ask our teams to go and vaccinate the poor children in slum areas.

Most of the parents in these posh areas are familiar with the concept of routine vaccination. They get their children vaccinated from different tertiary-care hospitals, private hospitals, and some private clinicians (pediatricians). When a team visits during polio campaign days, they simply refuse with the comments that they have already got their vaccinated and that another dose of vaccine may cause serious side effects due to overdosage. Some parents say we will not get our children vaccinated till the approval from our pediatrician.

A small proportion of people do not their children vaccinated from the polio teams due to their outer appearances (as most of the members working in the polio campaign belong to poor families).

Few parents refuse because in any previous campaign one of their family children suffered from some adverse reaction after polio vaccination.

Some parents say they do not trust vaccines being administered in Pakistan. They usually vaccinate their children from foreign countries. This also includes the foreign people residing in these posh areas.

Refusals due to religious issues were noticed little.

 

In any polio campaign, my biggest apprehension was to tackle this kind of refusals. Luckily we had a strong team including the assistant commissioner, police, administration, and security offices of these posh areas and social mobilizers who work very hard to cover these refusals and achieve excellent results.

A Biblical Holistic Approach to Proverty
Authors: Gunthorpe Jon
Published: February 2021

Historically, 'the poor' are those who are in need materially and so the way to care for them is to give financial or material assistance. While there has been some progress in the recent century, poverty alleviation still remains a major issue in our world. From a Biblical perspective poverty is one of the consequences of sin, but it is understood in a broader way than merely physical poverty. God works to reverse the results of sin and restore all things, which includes all forms of poverty. In the Old Testament the poor are most often discussed in economic terms, however there are also references to those in spiritual need. The primary principle was that the Israelites were to care for the poor among them, which reflected God's care for them. However, they often fail and are rebuked for exploiting the poor. In the New Testament poverty is discussed even more clearly in an holistic way: there are the materially poor, the socially poor, but all people are spiritually poor. Hence the way to care for the poor must address these different types of poverty. Of paramount importance is to help people out of spiritual poverty, for that has eternal consequences. However, it is also clear that Christians who properly understand God's grace to them, will respond by caring for others holistically. Such care was seen in the early NT church from congregations who were transformed to serve, as taught and modelled by Jesus. The ongoing challenge for Christian churches today is to continue to care for all varieties of the poor, enabling and empowering them to help themselves as Jesus' instructed.
Peran Sosiologis Gereja Dalam Relasi Kehidupan Antar Umat Beragama Indonesia
Authors: Aritonang Arthur
Published: February 2021

Artikel yang berjudul “Peran Sosiologis Gereja di Indonesia” membahas mengenai bagaimana seharusnya gereja menyadari akan posisi dan perannya di tengah masyarakat. Sebab dewasa ini gereja-gereja di Indonesia sangat minim kesadarannya untuk mengamati fenomena sosiologis yang ada di luar gereja. gereja juga tidak bisa menolak kenyataan masyarakat yang pluralistik. Mengapa ini menjadi penting? Karena gereja mempunyai peranan penting dalam menjaga kestabilan politik di Indonesia serta gereja juga mempunyai tanggung jawab sosial atas republik ini. Karenanya tulisan ini akan lebih banyak tekanannya pada pembahasan mengenai kekristenan termasuk hubungan kekristenan dan Islam di Indonesia. Tulisan ini juga menyuguhkan secara objektif kesalahan-kesalahan yang pernah dilakukan oleh gereja dalam sejarah maupun di masa kini. Ini menjadi bahan untuk melakukan otokritik yang juga disertai dengan masukan yang konstruktif demi kebaikan masa depan gereja. Terakhir, bagaimana gereja harus menunjukkan kecintaannya terhadap Indonesia dengan cara merumukan teologi gereja yang bersifat keindonesiaan.
Telaah Kritis Etika Lingkungan Lynn White

Published: February 2021

Lynn White dikenal melalui kritiknya terhadap agama Kristen dalam artikelnya The Historical Roots of Our Ecologic Crisis tahun 1967. Selain kritik tersebut, White juga memberikan kontribusi konstruktif melalui pandangannya mengenai etika lingkungan. White menolak etika antroposentris dan instrumentalis, ia menganjurkan etika demokrasi spiritual semua makhluk Tuhan. Model etika ini ditawarkan sebagai sarana untuk mengubah sikap dan perilaku untuk mengatasi masalah kerusakan lingkungan. Model etika tersebut kemudian diadaptasi dan dikritisi oleh para sarjana. Namun, di tengah kerusakan lingkungan yang semakin membutuhkan respon mendesak, diperlukan etika yang adaptif yang yang dapat mendorong semua umat untuk terlibat dalam transformasi kehidupan, baik itu transformasi pandangan dunia individual, dalam aplikasi praktis keeharian hingga transformasi struktur kehidupan bermasyarakat.

Abstract. We tackle the Io's aurora source and topology by carrying out a set of global hybrid simulations of Io's interaction with the plasma torus under different model geometry and background conditions. Based on the simulated results, we compute the photon emission rates above the Io's surface and present the resulting images from a virtual telescope and topological maps showing the distribution of the emission sources across the moon's surface. This allows us to compare the structure of the aurora with the real observations and conclude on the different assumptions. We found a reasonable agreement with the real observations in the case of non-collisional background electron populations. From the comparison of the local magnetic field topology with model aurora structures, we also infer that an induced dipole feature is more probable to play a role in the interaction of Io with the Jovian magnetosphere. In addition we also examine the potential contribution of energetic electron beams, being observed in the Io's wake region, to the overall auroral emissions.

Abstract. Coupled physical-biogeochemical models can generally reproduce large-scale patterns of primary production and biogeochemistry, but they often underestimate observed variability and gradients. This is partially caused by insufficient representation of systematic variations in the elemental composition and pigment density of phytoplankton. Although progress has been made through approaches accounting for the dynamics of phytoplankton composition with additional state variables, formidable computational challenges arise when these are applied in spatially explicit setups. The Instantaneous Acclimation (IA) approach addresses these challenges by assuming that Chl : C : nutrient ratios are instantly optimized locally (within each modelled grid cell, at each timestep), such that they can be resolved as diagnostic variables. Here we present the first tests of IA in an idealized, 1D setup: we implemented the IA in the Framework for Aquatic Biogeochemical Models (FABM), and coupled it with the General Ocean Turbulence Model (GOTM) to simulate the spatio-temporal dynamics in a 1-D water column. We show that the IA model and a fully dynamic, otherwise equivalently acclimative (DA) variant with an additional state variable behave similarly, and both resolve nutrient and growth dynamics not captured by a third, non-acclimative and fixed-stoichiometry (FS) variant.

Steel futures have the function of price discovery and hedging. Steel related enterprises can judge the hedging strategy through the direction of steel futures price volatility, and reasonably avoid the risk brought by price volatility. Therefore, it is particularly important to study steel futures price volatility and its influencing factors. Because steel futures in China have characteristics of peak and rear tail aggregation, the paper constructs Model of GARCH (1,1) to make positive analysis of futures price volatility and its influencing factors of deformed steel bars and hot rolled coils, and the following conclusions have been drawn: (1) The volume and open interest of deformed steel bars have very significant explanatory ability to futures price volatility of deformed steel bars; (2) The volume and open interest of hot rolled coils also have very significant explanatory ability to futures price volatility of hot rolled coils; (3) The sustainable capacity of the price volatility of deformed steel bars and hot rolled coils is relatively small; (4) Iron ore price have no obvious explanatory ability to futures price volatility. Finally, some managerial implications and suggestions are derived from the analysis of the proposed model.
Liquidity variations and variability cohesiveness with revenue and profitability: A case of Saudi energy sector companies
Authors: Ali Anis
Published: February 2021

Liquidity refers to the paying ability of the business organization while profitability assesses the profit earning capacity of the business organization. The liquidity of the business organization can be bifurcated into two based on time i.e., short-term and long-term liquidity. The short-term liquidity reveals the operational efficiency while long-term liquidity refers to the financial capability to repay the long-term debts of the business organization. The short-term paying ability is the management of the working capital or efficient management of the current assets and current liabilities. The current assets and current liabilities are directly related to the revenue of the business and further affected by the profitability, indirectly. The long-term paying ability or financial health of the business organization is reflected by the debts and equity ratio. The energy sector of Saudi Arabia is a prominent sector and contributes to the economy progressively. The study is based on secondary data and reveals the long-term and short-term liquidity variations and the cohesiveness of long-term and short-term liquidity with the revenue and profitability of energy sector companies. The study reveals the significant variations in the short-term and long-term liquidity and cohesiveness between the revenue, profitability, and short-term and long-term liquidity of the energy sector companies.

In Vietnam, there are various types of bananas, some of them have become regional specialties of many regions such as: Pink Pepper banana, Western banana, King banana, old banana, etc. Nowadays, Pink Pepper banana is the most popular grown banana with high potential for domestic and international markets. In order to contribute to adding value to agricultural products, linking production along the value chain for Pink Pepper bananas is an urgent issue for policy makers as well as businesses and farmers. This article focuses on analyzing the current status of value chain production linkage for this specific type of bananas in Yen Lac District, Vinh Phuc Province, Vietnam, at the same time, showing results, limitations, causes and recommendations to promote production linkages in the value chain for Vietnamese Pink Pepper banana products in the context of world economic integration.
Farming the future: Youth enthusiasm and transforming Nepal’s economy through agriculture
Authors: Khanal Saugat , Dhital Pankaj , Christian Stephen
Published: February 2021

The authors conducted a study in December 2019 to investigate youth enthusiasm in Nepal for trans­forming the economy of the nation through farm­ing. A total of 320 respondents from four towns in three districts were selected for interviews that used a pretested questionnaire. Descriptive statis­tics were employed to analyze the data. Most of the youth had positive perceptions and enthusiasm toward farming, but many felt that farming was “burdensome,” due mainly to its perceived percep­tion to provide only a low income. Almost half the respondents (45%) were found to have a low level of contribution to economic transformation through farm involvement, with high (34%) and medium (21%) levels of contribution to the eco­nomy, respectively. There are several constraints hindering youth engagement with agriculture and overall agro-economic development. The major constraint is access to credit and markets, followed by poor social perception of farmers, inadequate government and extension service resources, access to modern technology, and other factors. The study authors recommend that the government and NGOs encourage youth engagement with agricul­ture by enhancing agricultural education, extension, financial support, and so forth. There is a need for extension program staff and policy-makers to bet­ter understand the role of youth in the community development process.

In 2019, the Central Center for Quality Research in Laboratory Diagnostics conducted 24 editions as part of eight external quality assessment programs. Four programs (in the field of clinical chemistry, hematology, parameters of acid-base balance and ISE electrolytes, and coagulatory) were conducted with the frequency of four editions a year, which gradually adjusts the implementation of the programs to the requirements of the Regulation of the Minister of Health of December 15, 2017 (Journal of Laws No. U. 2017, item 2394). The other four programs, for financial reasons, were conducted with the frequency of two editions a year. In 2019, the Central Center also maintained a procedure for transporting control material samples to laboratories by courier. In total, 558.947 control test results from 1542 polish medical diagnostic laboratories were assessed in 2019. In seven programs carried out in 2019, the percentage of correct results according to the adopted group criteria was slightly higher compared to 2018. Only in the hematology program, the percentage of correct results according to group means was lower due to the applied limits of the acceptable error limits. It is worth emphasizing thatthe annual regularity assessments obtained in 2019 are comparable to those obtained in 2018.
THE NEUROPSYCHOLOGY OF METAPHORS IN PATIENTS AWAKENED FROM POST-TRAUMATIC COMA
Authors: Pąchalska Maria , Góral-Półrola Jolanta
Published: February 2021

Metaphor simply is defined as a verbal construct with two referents: one literal, based on the ordinary, concrete meanings of the word or words involved, and the other metaphorical, that is one derived from an implicit analogy between the literal referent and some other phenomenon, usually an abstraction that is implied, but not named. The aim of this paper is a description of the neuropsychology of metaphors in patients awakened from post-traumatic coma.

A group of 34 patients awakened from post-traumatic coma and treated at the Reintegrative and Teaching Centre of the Polish Neuropsychological Society, Poland during the period 2017- 2019 participated in this study. This group included 15 women and 17 men, with an average age of 31.2 ± 8.72 years; as a group, the women were somewhat older (32.6 ± 9.79 vs. 31.1 ± 9.18). We recorded the patients’ utterances with the use of video record- ings of open-ended conversations, and made occasional efforts to introduce proverbs, idioms, and other metaphors into their conversation, but this was done on an impromptu basis.

The analysis of recordings of 100 randomly selected statements obtained from each patient revealed the presence of 4 types of errors: (1) non-comprehension, i.e. the listener’s inability to comprehend the meaning of the metaphor used by the speaker, as indicated by the lack of an adequate response, an expression of puzzlement, or a question as to the meaning of the metaphor used by the speaker; (2) concretization, which occurs when the listener reacts to the literal meaning of the word, phrase, or sentence, rather than its metaphorical referent; (3) misapplication, when the speaker uses a familiar metaphor in an inappropriate context; (4) the use of incomprehensible or bizarre metaphors by the speaker, so that the intended meaning is difficult or impossible for the listener to ascertain. On many occasions, however, the gist of the metaphor emerged at some later point in the discourse, despite the surface problems.

It was found that the TBI patients we studied showed a marked tendency in spontaneous conversation to concretize or misunderstand the metaphors used by others, and to use inappropriate or bizarre metaphors in their own speech. On many occasions, however, the gist of the metaphor emerged at some later point in the discourse, despite the surface problems.
