Quality greatly affects patient satisfaction, where the patient will feel satisfied if the patient's perception of the quality of service is as expected by the patient. And will feel dissatisfied if the quality of service is not as expected. With the results of minimal service quality, of course, patient satisfaction is also not optimal.

Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of physical evidence (tangible), reliability (reliability), responsiveness (responsiveness), attention (empathy), and assurance (assurance) on patient satisfaction. The population in this study were all patients at the X Hospital, Gading Serpong , South Tangerang, totaling 180 people. The researcher used the Heir sampling technique. Analysis of the data in this study using a multiple regression models.

Authors: Stelmakh Sergey , Ochirov Oleg , Grigor'eva Maria , Tykheev Anatoly , Lebedeva Svetlana , Okladnikova Valeria , Zhamsaranova Sesegma
Published: December 2022

The results of a study of the wound healing activity of a composition based on the hydrogel of polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride and Bergenia crassifolia extract, under conditions of modeling thermal burns in laboratory animals (rats), are presented. It was found that the composition affects the change in the summary antioxidant and leukocyte activity towards the normalization of these indicators. Morphological analysis of the slices showed that, under the influence of a polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrogel composition and B.crassifolia extract, healing proceeds more intensively than in the control group and is manifested by a smaller thickness of the leukocyte-necrotic scab, accelerated epithelization, and complete closure of the skin defect.
The danger of shedding the content in grammar teaching: an example in Czech
Authors: Štěpáník Stanislav
Published: December 2022

The role of grammar in L1 teaching has been a topic of a long-lasting debate. Czech language instruction is no exception. Based on an almost 200-year-old tradition, the prevailing model of teaching Czech is grammar- and knowledge-based. Innovations so far have focused mostly on general parameters of communication and interaction in class, instead of focusing on the content and its didactic transformation. The study demonstrates the necessity of the content-focused approach to modelling L1 education, and the danger of slipping to didactic formalism of shedding the content if the content-focused approach is disregarded.
De la utopía a la ciencia ficción en tres novelas de César Aira
Authors: García Mariano
Published: December 2022

Al igual que el mito o como parte de él, la utopía pertenece a una proyección del campo simbólico por la cual la sociedad expresa sus deseos de corrección de los desajustes del contrato social. Tras un repaso muy breve por la idea de utopía en América y más específicamente en Argentina, analizamos tres novelas de César Aira (La fuente; La serpiente; El juego de los mundos) que parten de esta tradición, sin dejar de reflejar la recurrencia del mythos utópico a las islas así como la dependencia filosófica del género, que en Aira se expresa a través de la teoría leibniziana de los composibles.

Authors: Pérez-Amezcua Luis Alberto , Esparza Urzúa Gustavo Adolfo
Published: December 2022

Se estudian las implicaciones de la instauración de un simbólica tecnocientífica de la intimidad en la novela de ciencia ficción mexicana Gel azul (2006), de Bernardo Fernández (Bef). La orientación del análisis es estructuralista-figurativa y se enfoca en la configuración de las estructuras místicas del imaginario a través de la identificación e interpretación de dicha simbólica, por ser esta la determinante imaginaria fundamental. Nos concentramos en las categorías —interrelacionadas— de espacio, sujeto-cuerpo y tecnología en esta manifestación del régimen nocturno de la imagen y se concluye con una interpretación sobre su sentido en el contexto cultural actual.
“Cómo imaginar una vida posible”: El lenguaje social en la obra de Ricardo Piglia
Authors: Snoey Christian
Published: December 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la idea de lenguaje social en la obra de Ricardo Piglia, partiendo de la base de que el autor argentino propone la reflexión sobre el lenguaje como la manera de trabajar lo político desde la literatura, entendiendo el lenguaje como el lugar en que literatura y política se cruzan. Para ello, en primer lugar, se rastrea esta reflexión a lo largo de su producción ensayística, atendiendo en este aspecto a la influencia de Pasolini; y, en segundo lugar, se analiza la manera en que esta propuesta se traslada a su obra.
Eros y civilación en el fin del mundo. La trilogía postapocalíptica de Rafael Pinedo: Plop, Frío y Subte.
Authors: Olea Rosenbluth Catalina
Published: December 2022

La trilogía de Pinedo nos presenta diferentes escenarios postapocalípticos en los que, sin embargo, persiste alguna forma de cultura. Esta aparece representada de forma predominantemente negativa: como represión (principalmente de instintos sexuales); fuente de deberes y culpas que agobian a los sujetos y los hacen infelices; dispositivo ideológico que, por una parte, produce sujetos obedientes y, por otra, un enemigo considerado “bárbaro” o “indecente”. Frente “al malestar en la cultura”, los personajes protagónicos de la trilogía asumen distintas salidas: la transgresión, la fuga hacia la locura y la asunción total de la ley.
A flor de piel. El tacto como gesto y agente en Los cuerpos del verano (2012), de Martín Felipe Castagnet
Authors: Richards Echeverría Ariel Florencia
Published: December 2022

¿Qué supondría una existencia humana sin cuerpo y, por lo tanto, sin piel? El escritor argentino Martín Felipe Castagnet explora esta posibilidad en su novela de ciencia ficción Los cuerpos del verano (2012). Su texto, que ocurre en un futuro posible, revela la importanciade la piel como envoltorio del cuerpo, pero también como primer estado de identificación y sistema de comunicación sensible de los individuos con su entorno. Propongo que al leer esta distopía a través de la teoría del Yo-piel (2003), del psicoanalista francés Didier Anzieu, el tacto emerge en la ficción de Castagnet como gesto propio de la experiencia vital y comoa gente de interacción social. Esto, en un mundo en que la tecnología y el mercado restringirían cualquier agencia de sus personajes.

AFYON İLİ BAYAT İLÇESİ TÜRKMEN KİLİMLERİNİN KOMPOZİSYONLARININ TASARIM İLKELERİ AÇISINDAN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
Authors: BALKANAL Zeynep
Published: December 2022

Tasarımın günlük kullanım eşyaları, giyim kuşam, el sanatı ürünleri, iç-dış mimari, kitaplar vb. akla gelebilecek tüm yaşamla ilgili her şeyde olduğu bir gerçektir. Kompozisyonların tasarım ilkelerine uygun olarak yapılması hem ergonomik hem de kişisel zevkler açısından daha fonksiyonel olmaktadır. Tasarım ilkeleri tekrar, ritim, zıtlık, denge, bütünlük, oran-orantı, egemenlik vb. ilkelerden oluşmaktadır. Tasarım ilkelerinin ortak noktası her bir ilkenin birbiri ile bağlantılı olmasıdır. Tasarım öğelerinin (nokta, çizgi, form, renk, biçim vb.) birbirleri ile etkileşimli ve bütün bir şekilde düzenlenmesini sağlayıcı elemanlar olan tasarım ilkelerinin amacı kompozisyonda ideal bütünlüğü sağlamaktır.

Bu çalışmada, Türk Patent Enstitüsü tarafından tescillenerek mahreç işareti almış Bayat Türkmen Kilimleri tasarım ilkelerinden tekrar, ritim, zıtlık, denge ve egemenlik ilkeleri açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Dokuma sanatlarından biri olan kilim dokumalarda tasarım ilkelerinin kullanımı incelenerek, kilimlerde nasıl kullanıldığı açıklanmıştır. Bayat Türkmen kilimlerinin kendine has motif zenginliği, kompozisyon ve renklerinin orijinal olarak günümüzde yapılması ve yine bu kilimlerin tasarım ilke ve öğeleri açısından yorumlanabilmesi, her bir kilim çeşidinin kendine has sanatsal ürün olması araştırma konusunun seçiminde etkili olmuştur. Ülkemizde el dokumacılığında belirli bir üne sahip Bayat Türkmen kilimleri sanatsal ifadesi ile farklı bir yere sahiptir. Geçmişten gelen kültür zenginliğini kilimlerine ilmek ilmek işleyen Bayat yöre halkı kilimlerinde duygularını, yaşanmışlıklarını ve mesajlarını ifade etmiştir.

Araştırma kapsamında incelenen kilimlerde hem motiflerin hem de renklerin tekrar edilmesi ile kompozisyonların oluşturulduğu görülmüştür. Bu tekrarlar ritmi, hareketi, dengeyi, zıtlığı ve egemenliği sağlayarak kompozisyonda ideal bütünlüğü oluşturmuştur. Bayat kilimlerinin her birinin kendine has bir hikayesi vardır. Kilimlerde bazı motiflerin zeminde daha büyük ölçülerde gösterilmesi ile ya da kilimlere ismini veren motiflerin belli ölçü ve aralıklarla tekrar edilmesi ile vurgu yapılarak egemenlik ilkesi sağlanmıştır.

Araştırma sonucunda Bayat Türkmen kilimlerinin tümünde ortak özellikler bulunduğu için tasarım ilkeleri olarak bakıldığında ortak olan ilkeler dikkati çekmektedir. Bunlar tekrar, ritim, zıtlık, denge ve egemenlik ilkeleridir. İncelenen kilimlerin tamamında bu tasarım ilkeleri bulunmaktadır. Tasarım ilkelerinin diğer plastik sanatlarda olduğu gibi kilimlerde de uygulandığı anlaşılmaktadır. Anadolu’da birçok yörede bulunan el dokuması kilimler tasarımsal açıdan incelendiğinde güncel sanat içerisinde en üst seviyede olduğu görünmektedir. Araştırma kapsamında incelenen örneklerde, kullanılan motifler ve renklerdeki uyum kompozisyonlara mükemmel bir şekilde işlenmiştir.
Recent Advances in Biochar-based Catalysts: Air Purification and Opportunities for Industrial Upscaling
Authors: Younis Sherif A. , Kim Ki-Hyun
Published: December 2022

The preparation of eco-friendly carbon-rich (biochar) materials by thermal pyrolysis of waste biomass has been recognized as one of the most economical and effective strategies for gas purification in recent years. Through control of synthesis and activation methods, the surface features and catalytic sites in biochar can be engineered for diverse heterogeneous catalytic reactions. Nonetheless, its commercial utilization in air pollution control has yet been limited to a large extent because of (i) the shortage of databases related to the actual catalytic performance of biochar and (ii) the complexity involved in industrial upscaling. Herein, the merits and demerits of biomass-to-biochar catalyst conversion are discussed, along with the factors to consider in the synthesis stage for enhancing catalytic activities toward air purification applications. This paper also offers an in-depth evaluation of the techno-economic and environmental aspects of biochar-based catalysts and their catalytic reactions for air pollution control and energy production. Lastly, a contemporary perspective is offered to help develop novel biochar-based catalysts for real-world applications in air purification fields.
Migration of Free Roman Citizens and a Barbarian King to Histria
Authors: Starac Alka
Published: December 2022

This paper examines the migration and origins of Roman citizens in Histria based mainly on epigraphical sources. It focuses on the origins and identity of the newcomers who settled permanently in the region during the entire Imperial period. It looks into free individuals who migrated voluntarily in search of a better life and trade earnings, and others who settled as veterans or found refuge in Histria from troubles in their homeland. The legal status of settlers, visitors, and immigrants was resolved by special decisions, as evidenced by the inscription on the use of thermal baths near Buje, which records the decurions' permission to the colonists, incolae, and foreigners to bathe. Inscriptions confirm various types of migration in Histria, seasonal, temporary, and permanent. Members of the municipal aristocracy and Augustals retained their status after the relocation. Several veterans, mostly born in Italy, settled permanently in Histria. Particularly interesting is the case of Rasparaganus, King of the Sarmatian tribe of Roxolani, who died and was buried with his family on the small island in Pola. Among migrants without ties to the military or the administration but who came to Histria because of their profession or in search of higher earnings, clothing merchants stand out. Temporary visitors were registered in important religious and health centres. Finally, the paper examines city patrons coming from another city to establish whether they can be considered migrants.

Published: December 2022

The use of standard agreements or standard clauses in economic activities in offering goods or services produced by business actors is a necessity and demand. This is also the case in the operational activities of banks in carrying out their business activities as intermediaries for both depositor and debtor customers. In practice, the use and application of new agreements in the banking world is not without problems. Standard agreements that are applied to customers, especially depositor customers, contain many injustices for depositors that violate the principle of balance. Including violations of a number of provisions stipulated in Article 18 of the Consumer Protection Law, including the presence of an ecosenary clause or exclusion clause, writing or letters that are small so that it is difficult to read or understand their meaning.
Factors related to Sense of Coherence in Japanese university athletes
Authors: Sonobe Yutaka
Published: December 2022

The main aim of the current study was to examine cross-sectionally the correlation between demographic factors and Sense of Coherence (SOC) in Japanese university athletes. The study’s participants were 1,154 Japanese university athletes (771 males and 383 females, mean age 20.02 ± 1.13 years) that have enrolled in Japanese physical education universities. The survey items comprised sex, age, athletic events, years of an athletic career, regular position (regular or non-regular), competition level, and SOC. Binomial logistic regression analysis was then conducted to evaluate the correlation among demographic factors and SOC in universities athletes. The results of the study demonstrated that regular members of Japanese physical education universities were associated with higher SOC. Based on the above, the various life experiences that athletes experience when becoming a regular member could be associated with the establishment and development of SOC. The results of this study can lead to specific interventions toward the enhancement of SOC, not only in becoming regular members but also in SOC development and formation. Moreover, the presented results provide important information for psychological support and guidance to university athletes from a salutogenic perspective.

Introduction: The present study aimed to compare the efficacy and
safety of different doses (1 mg, 2 mg and 4 mg) of triamcinolone acetonide
(IVTA) in treatment of eyes with macular edema of vascular origin. Methods:
Using simple random sampling among patients attending our tertiary
healthcare referral centre, 60 patients fulfilling selection criteria were
divided into 3 groups and were followed up for a period of 16 weeks.
Following IVTA injections of different doses, patients were observed for
changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central foveal thickness
(CFT) on optical coherence tomography (OCT), intraocular pressure (IOP) and
cataract occurrence/ progression in all three groups at 1 week , 4 weeks, 12
weeks and 16 weeks. Results: Following IVTA injection in all three groups (1
mg, 2 mg and 4 mg), mean BCVA improved from baseline but no statistically
significant difference was observed in mean BCVA at different follow ups
between the three groups. Mean CFT significantly improved from baseline in
all three groups but no statistically significant difference was observed at
different follow ups between groups. Mean IOP increased from baseline in all
three groups but no statistically significant difference was observed among
groups at different follow ups. Anti glaucoma treatment was required at end
of 16 weeks postoperatively in 0, 1 and 3 eyes receiving 1 mg, 2 mg and 4 mg
IVTA respectively. Lenticular changes at the end of 16 weeks postoperatively
were found in 0, 1 and 2 eyes with 1 mg, 2 mg and 4 mg IVTA respectively.
Conclusion: 4 mg dose of IVTA improves the functional and anatomical outcome
in macular edema of vascular origin in most patients followed by 2 mg dose.
1 mg and 2 mg dose of IVTA has less incidence of steroid induced elevation
of IOP and lenticular opacity development or progression. Further large
scale studies are recommended to compare the effectiveness and safety of
different doses of IVTA. Keywords: Triamcinolone Acetonide, Macular edema,

In the third-degree atrioventricular block at sinus rhythm, a single-chamber pacemaker was initially implanted. 15 months after the first procedure upgrading to a dual chamber pacemaker was performed, which was complicated by pericardial effusion. It resolved spontaneously, but after 2 weeks it occurred again. Conservative treatment with ibuprofen and colchicine led to resorption of the pericardial effusion.
Maintaining Mental Health through Poetry
Authors: Mirza Sibtain Beg
Published: December 2022

Poetry is the passion that a poet possesses in genes, and through poetry, mental health and peace of mind can be maintained at a pace immeasurable. The waves of passion that run through the poet’s sensibility soothe the readers' senses. Poetry reading, writing, and listening cast good therapeutic effects. Poetry provides peace, calmness, and comfort to the minds by elevating moods in distress and duress. Studies show that poetry therapy has proven a boon to patients suffering from serious ailments, augments their emotional resilience, and brings joy. Our brains are electrified with the rhyme and rhythm of the poetry to give emotional reactions to joy and sadness. Like the sweet melody of music, poetry heals our emotional hurts. The metaphors embellish the poetic lines with magical brilliance and glitter with astute meaning and message. Diction plays a very decisive role in discerning the poet’s leanings. Reflection, perception, and attachment are interwoven in diction so inextricably that they turn the poet’s mouthpiece and roar and rave with perfect resonance to poetic experiences. Through the intoxicated taken-for- grantedness of the laidback reading public will take a turn at the melody of the tone and exquisiteness of diction.
The paper, however, explores how poetry can be a natural tool to heal mental stress, trauma, and agony and maintain mental health.  We will examine some poetic utterances of great poets like Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, Emily Dickinson, Kamala Das, etc. Moreover, we will also examine how nature can extend peace, purpose, and poise to the mind.

Published: December 2022

Introducción: la mortalidad materna es un indicador sensible del grado de desarrollo de un país. Por ello fue incluido en los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible, pues su presencia mide la importancia que un país le da a la salud materna-perinatal y a la salud pública. Objetivo: describir las variables que caracterizan la mortalidad materna en Cundinamarca durante el periodo 2016-2019 y los determinantes sociales que pudieron influenciar en la ocurrencia del evento mortalidad materna, con el fin de orientar las políticas y programas que permitan el logro de metas relacionadas con la disminución de la ocurrencia de la mortalidad materna en el departamento. Método: se establecieron frecuencias absolutas y relativas que caracterizaron la muerte materna entre el 2016 y 2019, basados en datos del Sistema de Vigilancia Epidemiológica de la Mortalidad Materna en la Web (SVEMMBW). Se realizó un análisis bivariado a través del cálculo de las diferencias relativas de las razones a partir de un grupo de referencia dentro de cada variable, con el fin de determinar el impacto de los determinantes sociales en salud en la mortalidad materna. Resultados: para el año 2019 la razón más alta de muerte materna, teniendo en cuenta la edad, se representa en mujeres mayores de 40 años. Se observó que en el 2016 las mujeres con nivel de educación primaria tuvieron un mayor riesgo de mortalidad materna (RR: 1,56 IC: 95 %: 1,27-1,92); así mismo, la mujer dada de alta de manera inadecuada es un indicador que está presente en casi una cuarta parte de los casos 2016-2019; sin embargo, debe ser resuelto mediante estrategias apoyadas en educación efectiva del talento humano asistencial. El indicador de muerte materna es altamente sensible a condiciones de inequidad.

Published: December 2022

This study was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of polypropylene (PP) mesh coated bovine amniotic membrane (BAM) with 5% polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000 as adhesion barrier in the repair of experimental 2 × 2 cm of abdominal hernias in rats. Rats (32) were divided into 4 groups. A 2 cm × 2 cm defect was created in the full thickness of abdominal muscle on the anterior abdominal wall. PP mesh was implanted in the abdominal cavity (Gr 1 to 4). BAM covered the abdominal face of the graft (Gr 3 and 4). It was given before the abdominal closure 5 ml of 5% PEG 4000 (Gr 2 and 4) and 5 ml of 0.9% NaCl (Gr 1 and 3). After 21 days following the operations, 32 rats were euthanized. Macroscopic and microscopic evaluations were performed according to the scoring systems. The differences between the groups was evaluated by Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis analysis of variance. Highest adhesion percentage was observed in Gr 1 and lowest in Gr 4. Inflammatory reaction was observed in Gr 1 and 2. According to the results of this study, the combined use of BAM and 5% PEG 4000 was helpful to prevent the complications of PP mesh.

Published: December 2022

The efficiencies in producing cloned ruminant embryos and subsequent production of offspring are still low. The study was conducted to produce cloned goat and cattle embryos using inter- and intraspecies SCNT techniques. This study involved 3 different types of donor karyoplast using goat and cattle oocyte as a recipient cytoplast to produce cloned goat and cattle embryos. The results showed that fetal fibroblast cell (FFC) in interspecies SCNT gave significantly higher 2-cell (64.40 vs. 38.43%), 4-cell (54.24 vs. 24.60%), 8-cell (36.82 vs. 14.54%) and morula (22.10 vs. 7.90%) cloned goat embryos than ear fibroblast cell (EFC). As for intraspecies SCNT using cumulus cell (CC) as a donor karyoplast to produce cloned cattle and goat embryos, the values for cleavage rates were not significantly different which were; 53.57 vs. 57.17%, 33.17 vs. 46.40%, 22.15 vs. 27.30% and 11.90 vs. 15.59%, respectively for all embryo stages. Our results showed that cloned goat and cattle embryos could be produced using different types of donor karyoplast in intra- and interspecies SCNT. However, for goat-cattle interspecies SCNT, FFC was more efficient to produce cloned goat embryos compared to EFC.

Published: December 2022

Yak diversity of the country has remained predominantly unexplored for a long time. Among the 169 registered livestock breeds of India, the sole representation from yak genetic resources is the Arunachali yak. This study for the first time investigated genetic diversity status of Arunachali yak using 26 bovine microsatellite markers. All the markers recommended for cattle except one (ILSTS05) amplified with yak genome. Allelic genotype pattern overlapped between yak and cattle across 25 microsatellite loci and a total of 233 alleles were detected in yak. The number of observed alleles across loci ranged from 3–16 with an average of 9.32±0.70. Observed heterozygosity (0.552±0.04) was less than the expected heterozygosity (0.648±0.035) pointing towards heterozygote deficiency in the population. In addition, positive value of FIS index (0.143±0.043) suggested considerable inbreeding. There was no indication of a recent bottleneck event in this population based on heterozygosity excess tests as well as mode-shift analysis. In summary, bovine microsatellite markers proved to be a valuable tool for characterization of Indian yak population. Arunachali yak represents an interesting gene pool with moderate level of diversity. Inbreeding in population calls for sincere efforts to formulate breeding policy so that this precious germplasm is conserved with substantial genetic diversity.

The present study was carried out to assess the performance of the recently certified Badri cattle, which is adapted to the topography and climate of Uttarakhand. Performance of the cattle was measured using various traits, viz. milk yield/day (litres), lactation length (months), dry period (days), productive life (years), age at puberty (years), age at first calving (years), breeding capacity (number of calves born/cow), inter calving period (months), conception rate (number of services/conception), service period (months) and draught animal power. The study was conducted in 12 villages from 4 blocks of Almora and Pauri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand by personally interviewing 120 Badri cattle owners through semi structured interview schedule. There is no significant difference between the 2 districts with respect to various performance traits. The average milk yield/day/cow, lactation length, dry period and productive life were found to be 1.6±0.7 litre/day, 11.8±2.1 months, 1.9±0.7 months and 11.9±1.6 years, respectively. The average age at puberty, age at first calving, breeding capacity, inter calving period, conception rate and service period were observed to be 3.2±0.7 years, 4.3±0.7 years, 8.8±1.4 calves/cow in lifetime, 13.7±1.9 months, 1.4±0.6 service/conception and 4.7±1.9 months respectively. Average working days/year, average working hours/day and average area ploughed/day were 32.9±7.6 days/year, 3.9±0.9 h/day, 0.4±0.05 acres/day respectively. Keeping in view the lower performance of the Badri cattle there is need of improvement by starting various plan and strategies to spread the importance of nutrition and better management practices by the government, which will further encourage the people of hills to conserve the cattle along with increasing the viability and profitability of Badri cattle rearing among the marginal and landless farmers.

In the present study, effect of dietary supplementation of fish oil during the non-breeding season on the reproductive performance of the goats was investigated. Experimental does were fed an isocaloric diet of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) rich fish (FO; n=12) or palm oil (PO; n=12) for 71 days. Periodical ovarian scanning for 21 days from the day of supplementation (day 0) confirmed acyclicity. Estrus induction was done by intra-vaginal progesterone (P4) sponge for 14 days from day 22 to 35 of supplementation. Dietary FO did not affect serum P4 throughout the period of supplementation. Ovarian scanning studies revealed that neither the number of surface follicles nor the diameter of largest surface follicle was significantly different between the groups at any point of supplementation. Similarly, the concentration of serum estradiol (E2) and P4 on the day of induced estrus was comparable between the groups. However, supplementation of FO decreased the PGFM significantly on day 16â€“18 post-estrus. In conclusion, supplementation of EPA and DHA rich FO for about 10 weeks inhibited the endometrial PGF2Î± production during the luteolytic window at induced estrus; however, it did not improve the ovarian function and fertility in the seasonally acyclic goat.

The present study was conducted to identify SNPs associated with test days and 305 days milk production at genome level after correcting for the non-genetic factors affecting these traits in crossbred (Vrindavani) cattle. Crossbred cattle (96) were genotyped using double digestion genotyping-by-sequencing technique for genome wide association study (GWAS) with first lactation milk production traits. The effect of season was significant on TD36, TD66 and TD96. Initial quality control for genotyping call rate, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and minor allele frequency were achieved by using PLINK tool. SNPs (9638) were retained for ascertaining GWAS with first lactation milk production traits and was accomplished by regressing SNPs on first lactation milk traits using PLINK. Total 23, 28, 112, 3, 13 and 5 SNPs were found to be significantly associated with AVDY, PY, TD36, TD66, TD96 and FL305MY, respectively. Most of the SNPs were located within KIRREL3 or near to it on chromosome 29, followed by LRRC3 and TSPEAR on chromosome 1. Three SNPs (NC_007299.6_145850854, NC_007328.5_26544467 and NC_007328.5_26544511) were significantly associated with all milk production traits. Our findings revealed majority of significant SNPs for milk traits were located within non-coding genomic regions.

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of molasses based multi-nutrient herbal supplements (MMS) containing ground fenugreek seed and de-oiled mahua seed cake at two different ratios (1:1; MMS-I and 1:3; MMS-II) on growth performance, nutrient utilization and immune response of male buffalo calves. Fifteen male Murrah buffalo calves (10 to 15 months of age and mean body wt. 234â€“236 kg) were randomly distributed into 3 groups of 5 each. All animals were supplied with conventional concentrate mixture, green forages (3â€“4 kg DM/d) and wheat straw ad lib. to meet out nutrient requirement. Animals in control group were not fed supplement but animals in group T1 and T2 were fed MMS-I and MMS-II, respectively @ 200 g/100 kg metabolic body weight (kg W0.75). The intake and digestibility of DM, OM, EE, NDF, ADF, hemicelluloses, cellulose and purine derivatives in urine were comparable among 3 groups. Digestibility of crude protein (CP) was higher in supplemented groups (T1 and T2) than control. Total dry matter intake, body weight gain, average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) during 270 days were comparable among 3 groups. Both cellular and humoral immune response improved in T1 and T2 groups. The results revealed that molasses based multi-nutrient herbal supplement containing fenugreek and DMSC improved the growth performance, nutrient utilization and immune responses.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE; 800 IU/g endo 1,4- Î² glucanase, 700 IU/g 1 (3),4-Î² glucanase and 2700 IU/g endo 1,4-Î² xylanase) @ 240 mg/kg total mixed ration (TMR) feeding on milk and components yield as well as feed utilization efficiency in Holstein Friesian [HF] crossbred cows. Twenty early lactating HF crossbred cows having uniform 4% fat corrected milk (FCM) yield and body weight were used to access the effect on nutrients intake, milk yield, milk composition, feed conversion efficiency and cost of feeding. The crossbred cows fed EFE supplemented TMR produced more milk, 4% FCM and milk fat. The supplementation of EFE resulted in higher milk solid not fat (SNF), protein and lactose as well as higher milk fat and total solids (TS). The consumption of nutrients/kg 4% FCM were less in EFE group cow, whereas only numerical improvement in nutrients intake/kg milk was noticed. The gross protein and energy efficiencies were significantly improved on EFE supplementation. The return over feed cost was 15.87% higher for cows fed EFE supplemented TMR compared to control TMR. In conclusion, feeding of EFE produced significantly higher 4% FCM and milk fat with improved feed conversion efficiency and better economic returns in HF crossbred cows.

Rise in temperature directly affects the poikilothermic aquatic animals such as fishes influencing their population biomass and recruitment. With this perspective, a study on spatial-temporal distribution of Indian oil sardine along south-west coast of India (SW) was conducted by classifying the study area into three strata namely: southern, central and northern region. The data was collected and segregated into three seasons, i.e. pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon. The trend for sea surface temperature was analyzed and compared among three strata and seasons. The trend of standardized catch per hour for all strata and season was also analyzed, along with observation on gear-wise catch of Indian oil sardine. This study indicates towards latitudinal extension and seasonal changes of Indian oil sardine population, besides changing its distribution into deeper water for avoiding the adverse impact of rising temperature.

Study was conducted to formulate region specific standard animal units (SAUs) more comprehensively by considering labour utilization as well as size of animals. Both primary as well as secondary data were used in the study. Primary data were collected from 2,700 households from 18 districts of nine states. Conversion coefficients were formulated by aggregating coefficients of bodyweight and labour utilization and giving appropriate weights based on the expertsâ€™ opinion. We found that the dairy farmers devoted majority of their time on care and maintenance of milch animals in the herd. Heifers got almost equal or even more priority in care and maintenance than the adult male bovines. The intensity of labour utilization in crossbred cow as compared to local adult female was higher. The overall conversion coefficients were higher for crossbred cow. The estimated regional coefficients will be helpful in estimation of costs and returns in not only in dairying but also in other livestock production. Besides the overall SAU, the separate estimation of SAU based on bodyweight and labour utilization pattern will serve the purpose of both social as well as biological research studies, particularly for studies carrying capacity, housing management and overall farm planning.

Published: December 2022

Introdução: O forame da tireoide é uma variação anatômica caracterizada por uma abertura na porção póstero-superior da lâmina da cartilagem tireoide da laringe. O conhecimento anatômico sobre as estruturas vasculares e nervosas da região do pescoço, bem como o conhecimento da existência de variações anatômicas, tais como o forame da tireoide são de suma importância para o sucesso cirúrgico. Nessa perspectiva, o presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar a incidência, a morfometria e a morfologia do forame tireóideo da cartilagem tireoide em laringes humanas cadavéricas, bem como discutir as relações cirúrgicas e clínicas decorrentes dessa variação anatômica. Método: Foram selecionadas 100 laringes humanas do acervo de peças cadavéricas do Departamento de Anatomia da UFPE que permitissem a visualização do esqueleto cartilaginoso da laringe, em especial, da cartilagem tireoide da laringe. Resultados: Das 100 (cem) laringes selecionadas, 02 (duas) apresentaram o forame tireoidiano, indicando uma incidência de 2%. Conclusão: O estudo embasou a importância do conhecimento anatômico sobre o forame tireóideo. Observou-se uma incidência de 2% do forame tireóideo, que foi circular medindo 7 mm na cartilagem laríngea com apresentação unilateral e 0,45 mm e 0,5 mm no lado esquerdo e direito, respectivamente, na apresentação bilateral. Ademais, o presente estudo apontou importantes dados morfológicos e morfométricos dessa variação anatômica, que não deve ser negligenciada no momento de procedimentos na região do pescoço.

Published: December 2022

Objetivo: Explicar os motivos da Síndrome de Down ser considerada um fator de risco para a Doença de Alzheimer, através da descrição dos marcadores genéticos envolvidos nessa relação. Metodologia: Foram feitas buscas na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde e na PubMed, com uso destes descritores, em inglês e português: “Síndrome de Down”, “Trissomia do 21”; “Doença de Alzheimer”; “Demência”, “Mongolismo”, “Envelhecimento”; “Demência por Alzheimer”; “Fatores de riscos”. Foram recuperados 45 artigos, resultando, após o refinamento, em 15 selecionados, todos referentes à PubMed. Resultados e discussão: O aumento da expectativa de vida das pessoas com Síndrome de Down trouxe um maior risco para a demência pela Doença de Alzheimer. Tal evolução juntou-se aos efeitos genéticos vindos da trissomia, em especial da sua forma total, sendo os principais as cópias extras de genes, como o APP, aumentando ainda mais o risco para o desenvolvimento dessa doença, por desencadear eventos como o excesso do peptídeo -amilóide. Conclusão: A trissomia do cromossomo 21 e os seus efeitos genéticos e moleculares são essenciais para o surgimento da demência pela Doença de Alzheimer, comprovando-se a necessidade de mais estudos que elucidem essa relação genética entre essa patologia e a Síndrome de Down.
