Authors: Saglam Ali , Asan-Ozusaglam Meltem
Published: July 2023

Background: Today, individuals tend to use natural products instead of synthetic additives in many areas. The hazelnut tree produces many by-products and fruit. Nuts and their by-products are rich in bioactive compounds. Objectives: This study investigated the biological activities of water and ethanol extracts obtained from hazelnut and its waste products to determine their potential usage in the cosmetic industry. Methods: In this experimental study, disc diffusion test, minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC), or minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) were applied to evaluate the antimicrobial potential of the extracts. The sun protection factor (SPF) of the extracts and commercial cream + extract mixtures was determined in vitro. In addition, antimicrobial cream formulations containing hazelnut extracts and Limosilactobacillus fermentum MA-7 probiotic candidate lactic acid bacteria from human milk were developed for the pharmaceutical industry to prevent infections. The good diffusion test was applied against test microorganisms to evaluate antimicrobial activity. Results: The hazelnut husk methanol extract had the highest inhibition zone diameter (19.41 mm) against Yersinia ruckeri. The MIC, MBC, or MFC of the extracts ranged from 1.25 to > 40 µg/µL. The SPF values of the extracts (range: 6.85-27.64) and commercial cream + extract (range: 11.92-26.28) mixtures were determined in vitro to obtain their potential use in sunscreens. The cream groups containing hazelnut extracts and probiotics showed a high antimicrobial effect on the tested microorganisms. The results of statistical analysis indicated that the cream + extract + probiotic pellet + probiotic supernatant group was statistically significant (P < 0.05) compared to other test groups. Conclusions: The results showed that hazelnuts and their by-products have the potential to be used as a natural source of antimicrobials. Hazelnut and its by-products can be an alternative to synthetic antimicrobials and sunscreens in the cosmetic industry as a natural bioactive substance. In addition, it might contribute to the country’s economy by evaluating hazelnuts and their waste and by-products resulting from their processing in the cosmetic industry.

Crop production is constrained by several biotic and abiotic stresses.Several techniques have been applied by different research groups to unravel themolecular mechanism of tolerance to these stress factors in plants. Recently micro-RNAs have contributed towards understanding the role of micro-RNAs underabiotic stress conditions. Through first reported in animals its abundance in foundin plants even with some difference in biogenesis and mechanism of target generegulation. However, the relationship between micro-RNAs and stress responsesis just beginning to be explored. Micro-RNAs are about 21-24 nucleotide singlestranded non coding RNA often conserved across species suggesting theirevolutionary significance. MiRNAs are either up or down regulated under stressconditions suggesting their involvement in gene expression regulation by posttranscriptional degradation or translational repression in plants. A major categoryof MiRNA target gene consists of transcription factors or other regulatory proteinsthat function in plant development or signal transduction. One our own researchendeavour in this direction revealed the role of MiRNA towards salinity stressresponse in sugarcane.

Authors: KUMAR AMITESH , VERMA R.K.
Published: July 2023

In a Fermi gas with a Fashbach resonance, one can tune the strengthof the paring interaction by adjusting the threshold energy of Feshbachresonance. The super-fluid density s is always equal to the total carrierdensity  at T  0 which it vanishes at the super-fluid phase transition c T .These properties are satisfied in both Fermi and Bose super-fluid. There is acrucial difference between s in a Fermi superfluid and that in a Bose superfluid.In a mean field BCS theory originates from the thermal dissociationof cooper pairs.There it was observed that that if one increases the strength of thepairing interaction BCS type normal fluid density dominated by quasi-particleexcitation change into BES type normal fluid density dominated byBogoliubov collective excitations. As super-fluid density s plays animportant role in two fluid hydrodynamics these evaluated results would beuseful in the study of dynamical properties in the BCS-BEC crossover regionat finite temperature.
Identification of Microsatellite DNA for Population Genetic Analysis in Tor tor
Authors: Singh Dharmendra , Singh Surabhi
Published: July 2023

Microsatellites markers are the most prevalent and adaptable genetic marker with varieties of applications in conservation biology, population genetics and evolutionary biology. These are the arrangements of DNA sequences, consisting of tandemly repeating mono-, di, tri and tetranucleotide units, which are distributed throughout the genomes of most eukaryotic species. Microsatellites are codominant in nature, easily typed, highly polymorphic and Mendelian inherited. These all properties make them very suitable for the study of population structure and pedigree analysis and also capable for detecting differences among closely related species. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for microsatellites can be automated for identifying simple sequence repeat polymorphism. Small amount of blood samples or alcohol preserved tissue is adequate for analyzing them. Most of the microsatellites are noncoding, and therefore variations are independent of natural selection, all properties make microsatellites ideal genetic markers for fisheries management and conservation genetics. In this review We aimed at isolating microsattelites suitable to quantify the genetic variability in Tor tor.

Critical Analysis of Biological Warfare
Authors: Pandey Narvdeshwar
Published: July 2023

Biological warfare is use of microorganisms such as virus, bacteria, fungi or toxin found in nature that can used to kill or injure human, animal or plant. The possibility that biological agents will be used against us is no longer unthinkable. The threat of biological warfare has increased over the past two decades, with a number of countries working on offensive use of these agents. Allegations of biological attacks have been made since World War I; however, most of these have not been confirmed. Biological warfare has been renounced by more than 150 nations, primarily for strategic and other pragmatic reasons. The terrorist activities will increase day by day that will involve bombs and firearms not only this but, also include biological agents. There is also a certain amount of concern over the possibility that terrorists might use biological agents to threaten either military or civilian populations.Keywords: Biological warfare, Microorganism, Biological agents, World War I

Authors: Ahmad Parwez , Jamaluddin Md
Published: July 2023

The Saryug river has been examined about water quality especially for heavy metal pollution by chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) at selected sites namely Siswan, Chapra and Dighwara during two years of study period. The estimated values were found either below or closed the permissible limit set by World Health Organization (WHO) except Cadmium. Cadmium concentration exceeded the WHO limit. This cadmium value in the river water of this area is a serious concern for human health. These heavy metals showed positive correlation with each other in both the years. The generated data may be useful to control the heavy metal pollution of the river at these sites which may even be deteriorating in near future. The present research indicates that the pollution level along the river Saryug is not very high but the increasing population load in the basin may cause long-term harm well masked by short term economic prosperity
Per Recruit Models for Stock Assessment and Management of Carp Fishes in the Pattipul Stream, Sheetalpur, Saran (Bihar)
Authors: Saurabh Suman Kumar , Kumar Prashant
Published: July 2023

The Per recruit models were applied to assess Major carp stock in the Pattipul of Bihar showed rapid increment in Yield per recruit (Y/R) at low values of fishing mortality (M=0.17/year) and age at first capture (Tc=0.5 years and increasing F (0.50/year) as 1068 g per year. The Y/R above this level was constant or slightly decreased and the recent F value is higher than the biological reference points as F0.1 (0.15 per year), FSB40% (0.13 per year), FSB50% (0.08 per year) and FSB25% (0.24 per year). The Tc increase by one year resulted in slight increase in Y/R, while additional Tc increase led to decrease in Y/R values. The Tc increase in F required to obtaining the maximum Y/R until reaching a optimum state as initial recruitment at constant M, while recent F value gives small increase in recent level of F, increasing the Tc by one year would result in a small increase in biomass per recruit (B/R). The Tc increase caused a gradual increase in B/R, followed by a decline after a certain value of Tc. These results provide evidence of recruitment over-fishing at all optimum fishing levels, and so sustainable management and conservation of Major carps in Pattipul would require a decrease in F to levels less than F0.1 and FSB40%, which can be achieved through a reduction in fishing effort but not through an increase in Tc.
Seasonal Estimation in Primary Productivity of Akilpur Lake in Dighwara, Saran (Bihar)
Authors: Suman Shashank , Kumar Prashant
Published: July 2023

The phytoplankton primary productivity forms the basis of the ecosystem functioning as it makes the chemical energy and organic matter available to the entire biological community. The primary productivity and its regulating factors were studied in Rasalpura pod during April 2019 to March 2021. Primary productivity of the pond was analyzed by light and dark bottle method introduced by Gardner and Grant (1927).The seasonal variation in primary productivity showed an increasing trend from 1.22±0.81 mg/l/hr then 1.99±0.65 mg/l/hr to 2.48±0.98 mg/l/hr in the monsoon, winter and summer season respectively. Investigation confirms the several variations do markedly affect pond productivity. The higher value of GPP and NPP during the summer season was due to penetration of more light intensity, suitable temperature, phytoplankton abundance which favors higher rate of photosynthesis and ultimately the pond productivity. The P/R ratio is an excellent functional index of the relative maturity of the system. The P/R ratio was highest during winter and lowest during summer season. The P/R≥1 value was observed during winter. During the monsoon, this ratio≤1 which could be on account less penetration of light into the water due to increased sediments resulting in lesser photosynthetic activity and thereby increase in productivity. Standing stock of phytoplankton is related to productivity which justifies its use as an index. Phytoplankton community and gross production showed significant relation at the sampling sites.

The main problem in this study discusses "Islamic Views Against Islamophobia" divided into two sub-problems, namely: 1) What is meant by Islamophobia; 2) What is the attitude of Islam towards Islamophobia. This study aims to look at Islamophobia, Islamic attitudes towards Islamophobia, and provide views of students of the Study of Religions regarding Islamic views on Islamophobia. In this research, a descriptive approach is used to provide accurate and factual descriptions and descriptions of properties, facts, relationships, views, activities, attitudes, processes, and how phenomena can impact them. Library research collects data and information from the library to be used as a basis for research. In addition, this research was conducted through a historical approach; the aim of this approach is to trace how certain ideas arose and developed over a period of time. The findings obtained from this study are that in the Islamic view, Islamophobia occurs through immoral acts by caring for Muslims. Even though Islam itself forbids mutual respect for all religions and beliefs, so there is no place for hate or hatred towards Muslims. Islam also emphasizes the importance of calm, safety and prosperity among human beings, regardless of religion, race or culture. The results of this study are that Islamophobia occurs because of a bad attitude towards Islam, the culprit could be through people who are non-Muslims and people who are Muslims themselves. Views about Islam which are considered to tend to be oppressive and tend to be violent in spreading terror. Therefore, views about Islam can be conveyed more optimally through various available facilities such as through the mass media. Efforts to introduce beauty, values of tolerance, love, brotherhood and Islamic compatibility with today's developments have become easier to do.

Authors: Senanuch Puchong
Published: July 2023

This study aims to investigate the problems of Thai nationals abroad, analyze transnational social work practice and propose a transnational social work practice approach drawing on documentary research and in-depth interviews. The findings indicate that 1) There is an increasing number of Thai nationals migrating to live in foreign countries and facing economic, social and cultural problems as well as being unable to access social welfare services, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic,. 2) Transnational social work practice relies on cooperation between government agencies, domestic and foreign public benefit organizations, including social workers, a process which started in 2012, when the National Social Welfare Promotion Board of Thailand determined that Thai nationals abroad are target groups that deserve social welfare services and established the Center for Promotion and Coordination for Thai Social Development Abroad, and 3) This study proposes that new knowledge and skills for social workers, as well as measures and mechanisms including social welfare services necessary for transnational social work, should be developed as part of an integrated and effective transnational social work  practice approach.

Social work students encountered different challenges as they experience online and distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Significantly, examining the learners’ situations can contribute in obtaining evidence-based knowledge useful in enhancing academic policies and practices. Hence, this study investigated on the personal, institutional, learning environment, and technological challenges of social work students when flexible learning was implemented. It sought to discuss policy implications for social work education. The study captured 296 respondents in one university in the Bicol Region, Philippines. The researcher-made survey questionnaire used in the study obtained a coefficient of a=0.92, which means that the whole scale's reliability estimate was highly acceptable. The instrument was in Google Forms and distributed to the respondents online. The collected data were subjected to descriptive statistics for interpretation and analysis. The results revealed that the frequently encountered challenges were: having to fulfill home and school responsibilities simultaneously, overlapping activities/tasks from two or more subjects, power interruptions, and having an unstable mobile data connection. Therefore, the academic community, including the administrators, student organizations, faculty members, and all equally essential stakeholders can address the identified challenges through policy enhancement and partnership building with organizations and companies offering technology-related services.
Social Protection in Indonesia: Reforming Opportunities during Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Sumadi Pungky
Published: July 2023

Indonesia’s social protection system provides programs covering its population according to a life cycle approach. The programs have been used as a means to address the social implications of locking down policy due to the COVID-19 pandemic.This paper aims to describe how Indonesia is reforming its social protection agenda.This article used a literature review for data gathering in describing the overall social protection reform agenda. It also used surveys in 198 pilot villages to try out three social protection policy instruments: a socio-economic registry, a digitalized village monograph, and an integrated approach to zero extreme poverty intervention.To deal with the social implications of locking down policy, Indonesia made use of the existing and ongoing programs, and also adding some new ones, even though the modality is no different: cash transfer. Various operational problems emerged during the implementation. The data accuracy of the existing beneficiary rosters is getting worse and unreliable. Different rosters produced by different ministries only create confusion in program implementation. A socio-economic registry is a potential solution for integrating beneficiary rosters produced individually by different ministries. Additionally, a lack of coordination among key ministries in social protection programs tends to provide one policy fit for all; leaving behind the role of local governments and different local needs. Having understood the situation, President Jokowi is determined to achieve the zero extreme poverty target by 2024 by reforming the country’s social protection policy.
Experiences of Female Adolescent on Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children During Community Quarantine in Davao City, Philippines

The study sought to describe the experiences of female adolescents, ages 15 to 17 years old as victim-survivors of Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) during community quarantine in Davao City. The study’s design was descriptive- qualitative particularly phenomenological research. Using purposive sampling the team interviewed eleven female adolescents, three barangay officials for key informant interviews, and conducted a focus group discussion among the identified agencies with direct services for OSAEC. The study describes poverty as the major driving factor that leads female adolescents in Davao City to engage in OSAEC. This situation was further exacerbated when the COVID lockdown happened to result in the loss of jobs, limited mobility, and uncertainty. Consequently, the respondent's family had difficulty sustaining their daily needs, pushing victim-survivors to engage in OSAEC. Limited mobility, caused many respondents to shift to online platforms as substitutes for physical communication, further raising their vulnerability to online sex predators. Respondents were introduced to OSAEC through seemingly harmless online chat groups which eventually led to pimping and matching with potential perpetrators. The chat groups paved the way for new acquaintances with experience in online sexual transactions and pushed victim-survivors to the trade in hopes of gaining financial rewards. Sexual behavior online eventually leads to physical interaction with local perpetrators. The study further revealed that barangay officials have little knowledge and capability in handling OSAEC cases. OSAEC in its many forms continues to victimize children, more so when several factors create vulnerability in them such as naivety, peer pressure, distorted perspectives on filial obligations, minimal awareness, and proactive action from duty-bearers. As we strive to protect the youth from all forms of sexual abuse, there is a greater challenge in providing holistic, multi-disciplinary, and multi sectoral action among duty bearers to stop OSAEC further.
Isoflavones Potentials for the Treatment of Osteoporosis: An Update on In-vivo Studies

Published: July 2023

In plant-derived compounds, phytoestrogens are biologically active substances that exhibit various estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects. With the increasing prevalence of osteoporosis among older women caused by estrogen deficiency, identifying natural substances that can potentially treat the disease is of utmost significance. This review study aimed to explore how phytoestrogen metabolites mimic mammalian estrogens and prevent bone loss following menopause. Phytoestrogens derived from plants have gained considerable attention due to their similarity to mammalian estrogens and lower impact on sensitive tissues, such as the uterus and breasts. One well-established approach to simulate postmenopausal conditions is by using ovariectomized rats or mice (OVX). The administration of phytoestrogens in the OVX murine model has inhibited osteoclast differentiation, activation, and Pyridinoline secretion. Furthermore, these compounds have been shown to enhance bone formation and increase bone mineral density and the expression levels of various osteoblast markers, such as alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, osteopontin, and alpha-1 collagen. Several natural phytoestrogen compounds in plants possess a chemical structure akin to 17 beta-estradiol, a steroid hormone. In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, isoflavones, a type of phytoestrogen, can potentially treat the disease by binding to estrogen receptors on the surface of target cells. Mechanistic investigations have demonstrated that phytoestrogens can retard bone resorption and promote bone formation. Novel approaches in phytoestrogen research could involve investigating the synergistic effects of combining different phytoestrogen compounds, exploring their interactions with other signaling pathways, or assessing their effects on various bone types. Furthermore, identifying novel sources of phytoestrogens could lead to the discovery of new compounds with potent osteoprotective effects.
