Authors: Almoayad Fatmah , Almalki Asma , Alsudayri Reema , Alruwaili Shahad
Published: October 2023

Background and Aims:
To assess healthcare professionals’ awareness of the patient educator’s role and identify the associa¬tion between their level of awareness and different sociodemographic variables in Saudi Arabia.
Methods:
The study design was cross-sectional; 387 healthcare professionals in Saudi Arabia were recruited by the researchers through convenience sampling. The researchers collected the data using an online questionnaire, and the analysis was done with the JMP software. The study duration was from January to April 2022.
Results:
Approximately 51.59% of the sample demonstrated a satisfactory level of awareness regarding the patient educator’s role, and the other 48.41% showed a fair level. Misconceptions among the participants were common: 53.44% believed patient educators performed wound care, 52.91% that they checked patient vital signs, and 50.26% that they performed physical exams. Awareness levels were associated with gender, profession, job classification, bachelor’s degree university, level of education, knowing about patient education and receiving courses on patient education.
Conclusions:
The research highlights varied awareness and misconceptions about patient educators among healthcare professionals, with ties to sociodemographic factors. Researchers recommend further investigation, clearer job descriptions, and interdisciplinary education to address these issues.

Published: October 2023

Background and Aims:
The COVID-19 pandemic has served as the ultimate disruptor in healthcare delivery, with the full impact to unfold over time. During a pandemic, healthcare professionals encounter various health hazards that affect their personal life and workplace. This study aimed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nurses and its relationship to the level of their performance in Buraidah Hospitals.
Methods:
A descriptive, correlational design was conducted at Buraidah central Hospital which is affiliated with the Ministry of Health Hospitals. 23 head nurses out of 25 head nurses and 195 staff nurses out of 381 staff nurses were included in the study. Data were collected by using a Job Performance questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the SPSS V25 computer software package.
Results:
Slightly more than one-half (52.3%) of studied nurses had a satisfactory perception level regarding total performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, less than one-half (47.7%) of studied nurses had an unsatisfactory perception level regarding total performance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusions:
The research comes to the conclusion that the COVID-19 pandemic impairs nurses’ performance as evidenced by the discovery of several disruptors during COVID-19. Managers and employees should collaborate with health authorities to prevent and control COVID-19. Protecting workers at higher risk of developing severe disease, such as those age 60 and over or with underlying medical conditions, requires special measures on occupational health services recommendation.

Authors: Gupta Nidhi , Arora Jyoti , Dixit Ritvija , Garg Sumit , Agarwal J
Published: October 2023

Background: Yoga and meditation are associated with improvement in both physical and mental health. Brahmakumari meditation is concerned with awareness of the metaphysical self with reorientating thought patterns and feelings so one can live with positive thinking, greater harmony, and contentment. EEG gives meaningful insight about the state of mind of an individual.

Aims and Objectives: The present study was designed to review the effects of meditation on the state of mind based on changing EEG brainwave patterns in long-term Brahmakumari meditators.

Materials and Methods: Fifteen Brahmakumari meditators aged between 30 and 50 years who were involved in regular meditation for >10 years and with no history of any neurological disorders were enrolled. Twenty-one channels EEG with EKG and EMG were recorded in all subjects during pre-meditative, meditative, and post-meditative state at an interval of 20 min. Qualitative EEG was analyzed for the appearance of wave patterns based on different voltages and frequencies.

Results: High voltage alpha rhythm was observed in the majority of subjects during pre-meditation and theta waves in most subjects during meditation. During meditation, their minds progress further to a deep state of calmness and relaxation as indicated by the appearance of theta waves. Even delta waves were observed during meditation in some of the subjects indicating a phase similar to a deep sleep.

Conclusion: Stress and mental unrest are major problem in the present era which is responsible for many non-communicable diseases. Regular meditation is a very important de-stressor and should be regularly practiced to lead a happy and peaceful life.
Extraction, optimization and evaluation of turmeric root (Curcuma longan) dyeing conditions on cotton fabric
Authors: Dass Peter Michael
Published: October 2023

Dye is a coloured substance that chemically bonds to the substrate to which it is applied. This distinguishes dyes from pigments, which do not chemically bind to the material to which they impart colour. The aim of this research is to extract, purify, characterize, and optimize dyeing conditions on cotton fabric. The extraction of dye from turmeric root powder shows that, 50 g of turmeric root powder produces a yield of 24%. The standard method was used to scout 1.7g, which is equivalent to (4x2cm) of cotton fabric. The weight of the cotton fabric was observed to decrease. This was attributed to the removal of impurities such as gum, wax, and other colorants. The mordanting of the cotton fabric was observed to increase the weight of the fabric. This is because the mordant attaches itself to the fabric. The optimum concentration for dyeing using turmeric root dye extract is 2.0 g/dm3. The ideal dyeing time and temperature are 60 minutes and respectively. The colour fastness of optimally dyed fabric to washing and rubbing exhibits a good fastness, which is highly acceptable. An attempt should be made to improve the fastness properties of dyed fabric by varying the mordant concentration as well as using different mordant.

Flood forecasting is one of the most essential preventative measures for decreasing the damage caused by floods to human life and property. Developing advanced models in conjunction with a significant amount of available data will improve the accuracy of forecasts. This study proposes the concept of discharge forecasting utilizing a neural network model and the application of time response parameters in the watershed. To forecast the hourly discharge in the Upper Nan and Loei watersheds of 12 hours in advance. In this study, we investigated the model in the setting of two case studies: case 1, the application of statistical correlation (Case–Correl) and case 2, the application of the time response parameter (Case–TC). From the study results, it showed that the outcomes of 12-hour advance discharge forecasting at runoff Station N.1 in Upper Nan Basin and runoff station Kh.58A in Loei Basin were as follows: Case 2 (Case–TC) was more accurate than Case 1 (Case–Correl) in predicting flow rates in both watersheds. In addition, it was determined that the model accurately predicted the flow rate during the period of peak flow, with a deviation from the observed discharge approximately 3–8% and 8–11% for Case–TC and Case–Correl examples, respectively. The results indicate that the neural network model applying with time response parameters has a high forecasting capability of flow rate. And the findings of the forecast can be used to monitor the water situation and prepare for flood warning in the target area.

Published: October 2023

This research aimed to investigate the corrosion improvement in Al-air batteries and their specific capacity, at various mixed ratios of sodium chloride and sodium hydroxide solutions 100:1, 99:1, 98:2, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, and 0:100. The battery was discharged at different discharge current densities of 1, 5, 10, and 15 mA·cm-2. The self-corrosion of Al anodes and their electrochemical behavior was tested in the mixed electrolyte solutions at room temperature. Moreover, the chemical characterization of the electrode surface was analyzed using the EDS and XPS technique showing that mixed electrolyte solutions provide complex film on the aluminum surface, consisting of various atoms of Al, O, C, Na, and Cl which can reduce the self-corrosion of the aluminum anodes, and providing a higher energy capacity. Mixed electrolyte solutions with a sodium chloride to sodium hydroxide ratio of 80:20 by volume at a discharge current of 15 mA·cm-2 causes a maximum specific capacity of 1,508 mA·h·g-1. The mixed electrolyte solutions can increase the specific capacities of Al-air batteries by 1.4 and 25.6 times more than that of sodium chloride solution and sodium hydroxide solution alone, respectively.

Authors: Shihab Alaa Saber
Published: October 2023

The inability of the target organs to react appropriately to the action of insulin is known as insulin resistance. Insulin resistance impairs insulin-mediated glucose absorption in the peripheral (skeletal muscle and adipose tissue), which results in increased blood sugar levels and increase insulin demand. Aim: This study aims to assess medical students' knowledge and attitudes on the signs, consequences, and treatments of insulin resistance. Patients and methods: There were 160 medical students at Tikrit University in all, male and female. The average age of students in the primary stages was 20 years, while that of students in the clinical stages was 23 years old. The current study, which was conducted in 2023 at Tikrit University College of Medicine (TUCOM), is cross-sectional in nature. All data presented statically as percentage.   Results: There are three forms of diabetes mellitus, according to 43.75 percent of medical students. One of the complications of DM, according to (90.63 %) of them, is vision problems. Diet modification and exercise were preferable than oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin therapy.  Conclusions: The study found that (75%) of medical students recognized the link between type 2 DM and insulin resistance, with clinical students showed a higher level of awareness in comparison with preclinical students.

Published: October 2023

The WRKY genes belong to a family of transcriptional proteins that have been useful in the phylogenetic inference of plants, especially for representatives of the Arecaceae. This study aimed to expand the molecular data for species of the genus Butia (Arecaceae), through the WRKY2, WRKY6, WRKY7, WRKY12, WRKY16, WRKY19, and WRKY21 gene markers, using the species Butia odorata (Barb.Rodr.) Noblick, Butia lallemantii Deble & Marchiori, Butia buenopolensis Sant’Anna-Santos, and Butia exilata Deble & Marchiori. We obtained positive results in the amplifications for the gene regions of interest for WRKY6, WRKY7, and WRKY21 for the three individuals evaluated for the four species. For the WRKY2 gene, we only obtained amplifications from the individuals of the B. buenopolensis. The WRKY16 gene amplified for all species, except B. buenopolensis. On the other hand, the WRKY12 and WRKY19 gene regions did not amplify for any of the individuals evaluated from the four species included in this study. With this work, we aimed to expand the molecular data of species belonging to the Butia genus, in order to infer the molecular phylogeny of species that occur naturally in Brazil in the future.

Published: October 2023

Introdução: A reabilitação com implantes ainda apresenta algumas limitações, principalmente devido a reabsorção óssea que ocorre no rebordo ósseo após a perda dental. Apesar de uma base de conhecimento crescente em torno do uso de implantes curtos em áreas de rebordos atróficos atróficas, o tratamento de tais condições permanece um desafio clínico. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o conhecimento sobre implantes curtos e seu uso entre especialistas em implantodontia brasileiros. Métodos: Implantodontistas responderam um questionário on-line com 16 questões de múltipla escolha relativas à experiência profissional, critérios de indicação do uso de implantes curtos, dados de sucesso/insucesso e a abordagem utilizada para realização dos implantes. Os itens foram computados em porcentagens. O teste qui-quadrado foi utilizado para avaliar se havia diferença nas respostas dos implantodontistas de acordo com a experiência profissional. As análises estatísticas foram realizadas usando SPSS versão 20.0 Resultados: Dentre os 95 implantodontistas que participaram, a maioria (71,6%) tem mais que 2 anos de experiência, 86,3% realizam instalação de implantes curtos e 69,5% classificam os implantes como curtos aqueles menores que 6mm. Dentre as indicações a maior razão apresentada é evitar cirurgias de lateralização do nervo alveolar inferior (94%), sendo que 93,7% indicaria em casos múltiplos, e 73,7% não indicaria nos casos de overdentures. Entre os implantodontistas com menor experiência apenas 33% indicariam em casos de protocolo, comparados com 69% dos com mais de 2 anos de experiência. 62,1% consideram a carga ao longo do eixo como potencial de falha. A maioria (69,5%) usa implantes curtos tanto para a mandíbula quanto para a maxila e 45% indicam para todo os quatro tipos de ossos. 58,9% utilizam a mesma técnica dos implantes convencionais e 49,5% utilizam a técnica de esplintagem. Para os com mais de 2 anos de experiencia a indicação da esplintagem sobe para 57% enquanto apenas 30% dos implantodontistas com menor experiência indicam a técnica. Por fim, 56% dos implantodontistas julgam a taxa de sucesso dos implantes curtos iguais as taxas de implantes convencionais. Conclusão: Este estudo evidenciou que a maioria dos implantodontistas incluídos na amostra do estudo apresentam conhecimentos quanto aos implantes curtos e as técnicas de instalação. Entretanto ainda existem preocupações quanto a divergências nas respostas sobre tamanho, tipos de ossos e indicações do uso de implantes curtos.
Multiscale finite element method combined with local preconditioning for solving Euler equations
Authors: Bento Sérgio Souza , De Lima Leonardo Muniz , Catabriga Lucia , Dos Santos Isaac Pinheiro
Published: October 2023

In this work we present a nonlinear multiscale finite element method combined with local preconditioning for solving compressible Euler equations in conservative variables. The formulations are based on the strategy of separating scales, in which it is the core of the variational multiscale (finite element) methodology. The subgrid scale space is defined using bubble functions that vanish on the boundary of the elements, allowing to use a local Schur complement to define the resolved scale problem. The resulting numerical procedure allows the fine scales to depend on time. The formulation proposed added artificial viscosity isotropically in all scales of the discretization. Due to the fact that, density-based schemes suffer with undesirable effects of low speed flow including low convergence rate and loss of accuracy, local preconditioning is applied to the set of equations in the continuous case. We evaluate the multiscale formulation with local preconditioning in the low Mach number comparing with the non-preconditioned case. The experiments show that density-based schemes combined with local preconditioning yields good results.

A enfermagem cumpre valioso papel na implantação do parto humanizado, tanto em determinantes intrínsecos quanto nos extrínsecos, onde estes têm a possibilidade de trazer experiências distintas a partir da forma de atenção oferecida pelos profissionais da equipe à parturiente. Este estudo teve como objetivo principal conhecer os desafios enfrentados pelo enfermeiro na implantação do parto humanizado. Trata-se de um estudo de Revisão Integrativa. O levantamento dos artigos científicos foi realizado durante o mês de novembro de 2020 no endereço eletrônico da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) nas bases de dados: Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO); base de dados da Enfermagem (BDENF) e; Literatura Latino Americana e do Caribe (Lilacs), utilizando os descritores: parto humanizado, enfermeiro e desafio. Desse processo, foram selecionados 11 artigos científicos que obedeceram aos critérios de inclusão dessa revisão. Os estudos abordaram sobre as dificuldades enfrentadas pelo enfermeiro na implantação do parto humanizado, destacando a importância do cuidado de enfermagem integral e qualitativo à parturiente. Foram evidenciados desafios que limitam o parto humanizado, dentre eles a infraestrutura, materiais e equipamentos, conhecimento técnico-científico e número de profissionais. Conclui-se que o enfermeiro busca atuar na prestação do cuidado à parturiente no processo de parto, porém enfrenta muitos desafios na implementação das técnicas não farmacológicas para o alívio da dor, ocasionando carga psíquica na prestação do cuidado à mulher.
O trabalho educativo na socioeducação e o fortalecimento do laço civilizatório
Authors: Da Costa Jéssica Emanoeli Moreira , Brasil Katia Tarouquella , Ganem Valerie , Da Silva Christina Pereira
Published: October 2023

Este estudo relata uma pesquisa realizada junto aos professores de uma escola inserida em uma unidade de internação, sob a tutela da justiça para adolescentes em conflito com a lei. Utilizou-se a metodologia de pesquisa qualitativa proposta em Psicodinâmica do Trabalho. Coloca-se em discussão o sentido do trabalho em uma instituição com um caráter ao mesmo tempo carcerário e socioeducativo. A escuta no espaço coletivo de fala para esses professores revelou a parte sombria deste trabalho, mas, ao mesmo tempo, uma dimensão de reinvenção com o enlace dos vínculos com a cultura. O lado sombrio se relacionou às narrativas de violência, precariedade social e desesperança dos adolescentes, bem como, pelo descaso das políticas públicas para este segmento da população. Por outro lado, a reinvenção nesse trabalho se revelou na tentativa de inscrição desses adolescentes em laços civilizatórios, por meio do investimento em elementos da cultura.  Esse espaço coletivo apontou que o sentido desse trabalho na socioeducação é sustentado por ambições educativas e inclusivas, que convoca a uma ética de atenção ao outro revestida de valor civilizatório, por sua vez, tão destruída na experiência de enclausuramento.

BYRONISM AND GEORGESANDISM IN THE FIRST HALF
OF THE 19TH CENTURY AS SOCIOCULTURAL MYTHS
OF ROMANTICISM: A TYPOLOGY OF DISTINCTIVITY
Authors: Litvinenko Ninel
Published: October 2023

: The article analyzes the features of Byronism and Georgesandism as
sociocultural myths that arose in the post-revolutionary era and embodied the totality of socio-aesthetic gender representations. On the basis of the historical-typological approach, taking into account the trends of modern comparative studies, the
origins of the gender opposition of male and female — the Hero and the Heroine —
are regarded in the poetics of personified myths — Byronism and Georgesandism,
which acquired an all-European scale in European culture of the first half of the 19th
century.
At the Enlightenment stage of mastering the specifics of the intimate and the
public, the development of the ideas of civil society, the destruction of the paradigms
of mental and universal laws of aesthetics, in public life and literature of the 18th
century there was an increase in the gender consciousness of society. In the article
it is correlated with the French tradition — the sentimentalist novel by J.-J. Rousseau
Julia, or the new Eloise and the romantic concepts of the hero and the heroine in the
works of Germain de Stael, where the conflict, antithesis, dichotomy of the feminine
and the masculine began to be artistically meaningful from the standpoint of social
and psychological egalitarianism.
It is proved that Byronism and Georgesandism were complementary and oppositional to each other as socio-aesthetic currents, systems, paradigms, myths, in
which variously interpreted skepticism and the individualistic concept of the Hero,
the poet, are opposed to optimism and utopia, the feminine myth of the Heroine —
in the works and biography of George Sand. The gender originality of typologically
related romantic value ideas is considered: aspiration for the absolute, spiritual
maximalism with a clear priority of the male myth in the image of Byron and his
work — and the female, socialistically marked in George Sand.
Biographical and biographically related material, the work of each in the first
half of the century formed the basis of sociocultural and romantic symbolizations
that characterize and form the gender specificity of the text of romantic culture.
THE RIVER AND THE VORTEX: THE RIVER MERCHANT’S
WIFE: A LETTER BY EZRA POUND
Authors: Ibragimova Karina
Published: October 2023

The article is dedicated to E. Pound’s poem The River Merchant Wife:
a Letter, which is included in the poet’s book of Chinese translations Cathay.
According to Pound’s beliefs, the translation does not have to copy the original, so
Pound makes his own adjustments to Li Po’s poem, which he takes as a basis. The
author of the article compares Li Po’s poem with the Pound’s variation, analyzes the
features of a Browninguesque dramatic monologue in the latter. The inclusion of
new meanings in the River Merchant Wife: a Letter is also realized due to the fact
that Pound reduces some images he does not need or does not understand. The article
deals with the theories of sign by Pound — Fenollosa, the poem is analyzed as Imagist
(the language acquires materiality, which is emphasized by the abundance of nouns)
and as Vorticist (images are not fixed, but are constantly pulsating, moving towards
each other; a poetic impulse is born with the help of their interaction). The image
of the whirling eddy, which repeats in Pound’s poem, suggests that the poet
deliberately offers us a new reading of the Chinese story about a woman waiting for
her husband. The River Merchant Wife: a Letter can be read as the ‘river’, i.e.
considering a linear sequence of actions, one can also read it as a ‘whirlpool’, ‘vortex’,
using the ‘ideogrammic method’ and perceiving each stanza of the text as part of a
hieroglyph. The latter option becomes another step towards the creation of a new
poetic language for Pound.

The novel My Romance (Paris, 1929) written in exile by E.N. Chirikov
(1864–1932) and dedicated to the so-called ‘tragedy of refugee’ has become the object
of consideration in this article. In this novel, the writer started from thinking about
the fate of millions of exiles who were forced to leave Russia as a result of the Civil
War and the Red Terror, and focused on depicting the fate of a woman in conditions
of loss of home, family and former social status. Chirikov’s appeal to the ‘women’s
issue’ led to the use of a gender approach in the analysis of the text of the work, which
in turn allowed to demonstrate the unique place of My Romance in the literature of
the Russian emigration. The latter actually ignored the problem of changing of
women’s status in the family circle and beyond provoked by the very course of history
in the first quarter of the 20th century, and focused exclusively on preserving for
posterity the memory of pre-revolutionary Russia, etc. Chirikov in My Romance
clearly recorded the breaking of traditional female-male gender ‘roles’, revealing
their dependence on socio-political processes. Thus, he discovered the artificiality
and conventionality of many norms of female and male behavior familiar to
contemporaries and summed up the debate about the status of women in the family
circle and beyond which had been heard in Russian society for almost a century. At
the same time, Chirikov demonstrated in My Romance that a man compared to a
woman is more painfully enduring the loss of traditional gender functions, revealing
greater spiritual weakness and moral vulnerability

The collection analyzes medieval Russian literature in its most diverse
manifestations (The Tale of Bygone Years, the translated Legend of the Indian Kingdom, the message of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich to the Metropolitan, the future Patriarch Nikon, etc.), poetry of the 18th century (above all odes by Lomonosov and
the poem by N.A. Lvov Russian 1791), Russian literature of the 19th century (Tyutchev,
Leskov, Saltykov-Shchedrin, Chekhov), works for children, children’s literature, the
history of the New Year holiday in Russia, Russian anthroponymy, including literary.
Research by E.V. Dushechkina is diverse, reflects the breadth of the author’s scientific interests, the desire to consider literary phenomena in a cultural context. Another distinctive feature of E.V. Dushechkina — invariable attention to ‘particulars’:
to little-known works of the classics (for example, these are the stories by Leskov
Waste Dancers and Offended before Christmas), to such marginal genres in comparison with ‘big’ literature as the Christmas story and the ‘dacha’ text. Among the
grateful readers of this book, there will undoubtedly be philologists, and cultural
historians, and school teachers, and students, and university professors.

Electrocatalytic response of nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres modified glassy carbon electrode for sulphite detection in water
Authors: Basande Ashkan , Beitollahi Hadi
Published: October 2023

In this work, the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface was modified with nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres (N-HCSs) to achieve a new electrochemical  sulphite sensor (N-HCSs/GCE) in water samples. The N-HCSs were explored for electrocatalytic behavior through voltammetric approaches using a routine three-electrode system. The findings revealed an admirable efficiency for modified electrodes towards  sulphite oxidation, highlighting the effectiveness of our as-produced  sulphite sensor. The differential pulse voltammetry was utilized under obtained optimal circumstances to study the as-developed sensor, the results of which underlined linear electrochemical current in relation to  sulphite concentration, with dynamic range as wide as 1.0-100.0 μM and limit of detection as narrow as 0.35 μM. Moreover, N-HCSs/GCE had commendable practical applicability for sensing sulphite present in real specimens with voltammetric techniques.
Czy potrzebna nam sprawiedliwość podatkowa? Krytyczna analiza pojęcia sprawiedliwości podatkowej na przykładzie odmowy prawa do odliczenia podatku naliczonego w VAT
Authors: Gryziak Bartosz
Published: October 2023

Któż może odrzucić ideę sprawiedliwości? Pierwsze pytanie brzmi jednak: na czym ona polega? Sprawiedliwości podatkowej nadaje się różne znaczenia – głównie co do rozdziału ciężaru podatkowego między podmioty podatkowe oraz co do związania organów podatkowych treścią podatkowego stanu faktycznego. Przedmiotem analizy jest wykonalność tych postulatów na przykładzie przesłanek zakwestionowania prawa do odliczenia podatku naliczonego w VAT1. Choć wypływają one z postulatów sprawiedliwości podatkowej, to w praktyce stanowią dla podmiotów podatkowych „dowód diabelski” i nakładają na nie nieproporcjonalne obowiązki. Z tej perspektywy być może lepiej porzucić to, co słuszne, na rzecz tego, co możliwe, a w konsekwencji zaakceptować pewne odstępstwa od ortodoksyjnie pojmowanej sprawiedliwości.

Intrinsic factors such as proteins modulate the fertilizing ability of male gametes. The present study was undertaken to separate and compare the protein of sperm SDS-extracts from 30 bulls by SDS-PAGE and correlate quantity of various proteins with hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST) and acrosome reaction. There were 26 major polypeptides, ranging from 12–23 proteins in each semen sample. These bands were separated in the range of 18–345 kDa in frozen-thawed semen by SDS-PAGE on 10% acrylamide gel with bands 135, 110, 48, 41, 37, 31, 28, 26, 24, 20 and 18 kDa present in all the tested frozen semen. There were positive correlations between 5 protein bands 135, 70, 55, 26 and 18 kDa and HOS positive (r2 = 0.28, r2 = 0.19, r2 = 0.37, r2 = 0.24and r2 = 0.31, respectively) and acrosome reacted spermatozoa (r2 = 0.29, r2 = 0.38, r2 = 0.42, r2 = 0.32 and r2 = 0.14, respectively). Both qualitative (presence or absence of bands) and quantitative differences (concentration of protein in each amplified band) were observed in fertility associated protein bands. The concentration of fertility associated proteins was relatively higher in sperm extracts of buffalo bulls having > 60% HOS positive and > 50% acrosome reacted spermatozoa than in their counterparts.The concentration of proteins 55 kDa (30.7 ± 6.0 μg/band) and 26 kDa (22.1 ± 2.5 μg/ band) was highest of all the protein bands identified through SDS-PAGE using 10% separating gel and 4% stacking gel and were linked to the osteopontin and lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthetase subunits, respectively, of the bovine semen. HOST and in vitro acrosome reaction were indicators of fertility, and therefore, proteins of 55, 31, 26, 24, 20 and 18 kDa may be candidates for protein fertility markers in buffalo bull spermatozoa. In conclusion, 26 proteins were identified in frozen sperm extracts and significantly correlated with HOST and acrosome reaction.

The objective of this study was to investigate low dose and long duration effects of aflatoxin B1 on different categories of the ovarian follicles in adult White Leghorn layers. The birds were put in 2 groups, viz. experiment and as controls. Every chicken of experiment group was received AFB1 @ 0.62 ppm/day through oral route for the duration of 120 days. At the end of experiment, all the birds were slaughtered, immediately their ovaries collected and preserved in 10% buffered formaldehyde solution. In both the groups, the macroscopic follicles i.e. SWF, SYF, LYF (including F1, F2, F3, F4, F5), and POF were recorded, and then the specimens were subjected to tissue preparation, for histomorphologic and histomorphometric studies. All types of ovarian follicular distributions (including healthy and atretic) were recorded. There was highly significant (P<0.001) decrease in populations of SWF and SYF in test group. The reduction in different types of LYF as well as POF populations in test group were significant. There were high significant reduction in healthy microscopic and raise in atretic microscopic follicles in test group. It may be concluded that aflatoxin B1 in low dose (0.62 ppm/day) for the duration of 120 days causes increase in ovarian follicular atresia and death of different categories of the macroscopic as well as microscopic follicles in Leghorn layers.
