Published: December 2022

Heart diseases are becoming more common every day, making it important and concerning to predict and diagnose these conditions accurately and efficiently. This research paper focuses on identifying patients who are more likely to have a heart disease based on various medical attributes and also examines which attributes are contributing to the heart disease. To address this issue, we developed a heart disease prediction system that uses machine learning algorithms, such as logistic regression, to predict and classify patients with heart disease. This system helps to relieve a significant amount of pressure on medical professionals by accurately identifying the likelihood of a patient having a heart disease. In addition, the heart disease prediction system improves medical care and reduces costs. Overall, this project provides valuable knowledge that can aid in the prediction of heart disease in patients and is implemented in .pynb format.

Published: December 2022

The structural preferences of curcumin (C21H20O6) molecule were analyzed by MMFF method using Spartan06 program and the most stable geometry was determined. To evaluate the effects of curcumin on SARS-CoV-2, the molecular docking studies have been done on the spike glycoprotein and the apo/holo forms of the SARS-CoV-2 major protease enzyme (Mpro). The binding affinities and binding modes of curcumin targeted to the SARS-CoV-2 proteins were determined. It was discovered that curcumin had binding affinities of -7.3, -5.7, and -7.6 kcal/mol to the apo and holo forms of the major protease enzyme (Mpro) and spike glycoprotein, respectively. The findings suggested that curcumin could be a useful therapeutic agent for COVID-19 treatment.

A balance disorder is one of the most common disorders in older people that leads to falls and endangers the health of the elderly. Falls can result in both physical injuries and psychological problems. Many economic burdens are also imposed on individuals, their families, and the community. One way to increase balance, decrease falls, and thereby enhance the health of the elderly is through dance-based therapies. This study aims to review articles using different dance-based interventions such as yoga, Pilates, tai chi and aerobics on balance improvement and fall prevention in elderly individuals. This narrative review was performed using narrative synthesis. An extensive literature search was performed in databases of Science Direct, Google Scholar, PubMed, and ISI Web of Knowledge using OR, AND, and NOT operators and the selected keywords. Only studies written in English and published in journals between 2010 and May 2022 were used for this purpose. The articles chosen in this study were those that have studied the effect of dance-based interventions on balance and fall prevention in the elderly. Studies that involved other disabilities that upset the balance and caused falls and that examined the effect of other interventions on balance and falls in these people were also excluded from the study. Finally, 22 articles were selected from the final evaluation. Yoga, Tai Chi, Aerobics, and Pilates were among the dance-based interventions examined in these trials. The results of this study demonstrated that all dance-based interventions could enhance balance and hence decrease falls in the elderly. Older people may also benefit more from longer training sessions and more intense activity. We can conclude that these interventions can help older adults improve their balance and decrease their risk of falling. Consequently, they might be viewed as promoting this population's health.

Assessment of the Immovable Roman Archaeological Heritage for Inclusion in Tourism Products (Case Study Rila - Pirin Tourist Region)
Authors: Stefanova Stela
Published: December 2022

The successful development of tourism products largely depends on the proper selection of tourist sites, the study of the possibilities of their integration and their targeting to appropriate target groups. In this sense, the present paper examines the results of the application of the author's methodology for an assessment of immovable archaeological monuments from the Roman era with the aim of analyzing the possibilities for their inclusion in cultural-tourism products of the Rila-Pirin tourist region. The applied methodology is based on a multi-aspect and detailed assessment of immovable Roman sites, on the one hand as a resource, and on the other as tourist sites. It provides an opportunity to carry out an objective analysis of the current state of the archaeological values and maximally reveal their tourist potential. The achieved results point to the possible ways of including the monuments in tourism products according to the state and prospects for their future development. This will greatly facilitate the making of reasoned decisions about how archaeological immovable sites can be most rationally used for the purposes of tourism based on cultural heritage and what are the possibilities for their successful integration.

Published: December 2022

Internationalization strategies and instruments of competition - Polish furniture companies on the foreign market. Despite the global economic situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Polish furniture industry is still a dynamically developing branch of the national economy of Poland. One of the most important paths in the development of this industry is still internationalization. The aim of the article was to define the internationalization strategies of Polish furniture enterprises, as well as to indicate the instruments of competition used by these companies on the foreign market. Empirical research was carried out in a group of 100 medium and large furniture enterprises conducting export activity. The research identified the most frequently used internationalization strategies by furniture companies, identified the most effective strategies, and identified competition instruments of the greatest importance for Polish furniture manufacturers. The research showed that ethnocentric strategy is most often used in the furniture industry. This strategy is the most effective. Regardless of the size of the enterprise, the quality of products was recognized by the respondents as the most important instrument of competition on the external market.

Authors: KUMAR AMIT , GUPTA V K , MANDIL R , VERMA A K , RAHAL A , YADAV S K
Published: December 2022

Brucella melitensis is an obligate intracellular parasite causing worldwide zoonoses. It has been implicated that oxidative stress induced due to bacterial invasion lead to the niche of Brucella in organs like spleen and lymph nodes. The present study was aimed at evaluating the erythrocytic and tissue specific oxidative stress responses induced by intranasal inoculation of killed Brucella whole cell protein antigen in conjunction with a polymer gel adjuvant for offering protection against live virulent Brucella. The results clearly implicate that both the glutathione mediated nonenzymic antioxidant defense system and catalase play a critical role in intracellular antioxidant defense in vaccinated animals along with maintaining an excellent milieu for inducing an active immune potential. At the same time, the antioxidant defenses in all the vital tissues, viz. liver, kidney, lung and spleen of vaccinated mice were almost at par with the adjuvant inoculated animals. Thus, it may be said that intranasal immunization with polymer gel based Brucella vaccine induces an oxidative stress with negligible signs of inflammatory pathophysiology in all the vital organs and supports the development of significant level of immunogenicity against Brucella challenge.

Published: December 2022

Livestock disease outbreaks become a burden to the animal husbandry farmers and cause great economic loss in India. Period regression analysis is used to find the periodic or cyclic character of livestock disease outbreaks in animals, as many other natural phenomena in environment is periodic or cyclic in nature. In present study, livestock disease outbreaks of anthrax (AX), black quarter (BQ), enterotoxaemia (ET), haemorrahgic septicemia (HS), bluetongue (BT), foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), peste des petits ruminants (PPR), sheep and goat pox (SGP), babesiosis (BA), fasciolosis (FA), theileriosis (TH) and trypanosomosis (TR) were analyzed using periodic regression to know the trend and future prediction of outbreaks. Time series data on disease outbreaks, month and year was collected from National Animal Disease Referral Expert System database for 2001â€“2016. The regression curves were prepared with baseline, observed outbreaks and upper bound curves for 12 livestock diseases. The analysis revealed decreasing trend for AX, BQ, ET, HS, FMD, PPR, SGP and a cyclical trend of peak occurrence for every 4â€“5 years was observed in BQ, PPR, SGP, FA and TR. However, TR showed increasing trend and BT, BA, FA, TH outbreaks were maintained at the same trend in the past and future also. Further, BQ in 2026, ET in 2020, HS in 2022, FMD in 2023, outbreak numbers may touch the zero point, if the preventive measures are continued for these diseases effectively. Thus, continuous and constant efforts are needed for prevention of livestock diseases outbreaks from all stakeholders, which will improve the economy of farmers in India.

Published: December 2022

In the present study, the species specific determination of Sarcocystis cysts isolated from 137 naturally infected and slaughtered cattle from different regions of Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh, India was achieved by PCR-RFLP. Diagnosis of sarcocysts in cattle was based on macroscopic examination and pepsin digestion method. Genomic DNA was extracted individually from bradyzoites of all 137 sarcocystosis positive cattle and all the isolates were characterized at 18S rRNA. Digestion of PCR amplicons (900 bp) with restriction endonuclease revealed 3 different electromorphs which were referred to Sarcocystis cruzi (513 and 343 bp), S. hirsuta (525, 241 and 141 bp) and S. fusiformis (532 and 335 bp). Sarcocystis cruzi (93.43%) was significantly more prevalent in comparison with the S. hirsuta (4.38%) and S. fusiformis (2.19%). Infection of cattle with S. hominis was not observed in the study area. Occurrence of S. fusiformis in cattle supports that Sarcocystis species of buffaloes are not strictly intermediate host specific however can infect cattle.

Published: December 2022

First lactation data on 7,782 Mehsana buffaloes sired by 184 sires maintained at Dudhsagar Research and Development Association, Dudhsagar Dairy, Mehsana over a period of 24 years (1989â€“2012) were used to estimate least-squares means (LSM) and breeding value of the first lactation fat yield (FLFY) and average fat percentage (AFP) using univariate and bivariate models with the help of WOMBAT software. The effectiveness of different sire evaluation models using FLFY and AFP were compared on the basis of error variance, coefficient of determination (CV%), R2-value, AIC, BIC and Spearmanâ€™s rank correlation. The average estimate of FLFY and AFP was 135.04Â±0.57 kg and 7.11Â±0.11% in Mehsana buffaloes. These estimates were significantly affected by period and season of calving, and age at first calving group. The average expected breeding value of Mehsana buffalo bulls for FLFY and AFP were 133.24 kg and 7.14% using sire model (BLUP-SM), 135.71 kg and 7.22% using univariate animal model (BLUP-U-AM) and 133.23 kg and 7.14% from bivariate animal model (BLUP-B-AM), respectively for FLFY and AFP. The spearmanâ€™s rank correlation indicated similarity of rankings by BLUP-U-AM and BLUPB- AM. Animal model had a wider range of breeding values indicating the greater differentiating ability of the model. Based on error variance, AIC, BIC, R2 and CV; animal model was found to be superior in comparison to sire model.
Supply response in Indian dairying
Authors: BIRTHAL PRATAP SINGH , PANDEY GHANSHYAM , JUMRANI JAYA , JAWERIAH N
Published: December 2022

Owing to several price and non-price factors, Indiaâ€™s dairy sector has grown remarkably in the past four decades. In this paper, we assess relative contributions of such factors to the growth of diary sector. Our results showed that dairying, in terms of both animal stock and yield, is not much responsive to prices of output as well as inputs. However, in the long run, the yield responds positively to technological change in animal breeding, feed supplies, veterinary services and markets. These findings lead us to argue that the dairy policy should focus on pushing up adoption of yield-enhancing technologies, provision of animal health, breeding and extension services, and strengthening of market linkages.

Authors: SINGH NARENDRA PRATAP , VOHRA VIKAS , DAS RAMENDRA , VERMA UMAKANT , TANTIA M S , KATARIA R S
Published: December 2022

A population based study was conducted in a large sample of Gojri buffalo, a less known dairy buffalo from Northern India, to assess its genetic variations using 25 heterologous simple sequence repeats (SSR) marker loci. Primers for markers used in the study were labelled either with VIC, NED, PET or FAM dye. Genotyping of each sample was performed by sequencing the PCR amplicons and thereby, estimating diversity indices based on frequency of different allele sizes. Gojri buffalo had an average of 8.2 alleles per locus with 3.65 mean effective number of locus. The polymorphic information content (PIC) values for studied SSR markers ranged from 0.11â€“0.81, indicating that all the markers, except ILSTS 19, were informative and suitable for the diversity analysis in the buffalo population. The average observed heterozygosity (Ho) and unbiased expected heterozygosity (uHe) estimate were 0.67 and 0.70, respectively in the population with majority of the markers showing Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. A higher expected heterozygosity in Gojri population indicates presence of sufficient genetic diversity, and a higher overall mean of Shannonâ€™s information index (1.5) support these findings. Moreover, both genetic Bottleneck and Mode Shift analysis indicated absence of genetic bottleneck in the recent past among the studied Gojri population. Population inbreeding estimates (FIS=0.029) indicated an average deficiency of 2.9% and suggests no probable inbreeding in the population. It can be concluded that there is presence of sufficient genetic variations in Gojri population and this information can augment in designing its breeding and conservation programme.

Published: December 2022

A biological trial was undertaken to study the effect of inclusion of graded levels of commercial guar meal (CGM) in diet on the performance and nutrient digestibility in commercial broiler chickens. A total of 350 oneday- old broiler male chicks (Cobb 400) were reared on wire floor electrically heated battery brooders. The chicks were randomly divided into 7 groups. Each treatment had 10 replicates of 5 chicks each. All the groups received iso-nitrogenous and iso-caloric diets. First group was fed maize-SBM; 2nd, 3rd and 4th groups were fed control diet during pre-starter phase (1â€“14 days), later (starter and finisher phase) CGM was incorporated at 6, 12 and 18% respectively, replacing SBM. In rest 3 groups (5th, 6th and 7th), CGM was incorporated at 6% during pre-starter phase followed by (starter and finisher phase) incorporation of CGM at 6, 12 and 18% respectively. The results showed that body weight gain (BWG) was significantly better at 6% CGM inclusion and depressed at 12 and 18% CGM. There was no significant effect of non-inclusion of CGM in juvenile phase on BWG; though feed intake did not differ significantly by CGM inclusion but FCR was significantly higher at all inclusion levels of CGM (6, 12 and 18%). The slaughter parameters, nutrient digestibility, serum parameters did not differ significantly. It can be concluded that CGM could be incorporated up to 6% (60 g/kg diet) in broiler diets without affecting growth performance, nutrient utilization and slaughter variables.

Authors: MAKOVICKÝ PAVOL , MAKOVICKY PETER , MARGETÍN MILAN , NAGY MELINDA
Published: December 2022

Morphology of udder in ewes in one experimental herd was examined on the basis of linear evaluation (7 traits; 9 points scale; 1145 data for each trait) and exact measurements of udder (6 parameters; 1055 measurements at each trait) were taken. Estimation of covariance components and genetic parameters were done using REML and BLUP-AM (VCE 4.0 package) for 7 traits (linear evaluation) or 6 traits (udder measurements) . Heritability coefficients for individual traits of linear evaluation varied from 0.090â€“0.294. Heritability coefficient (h2) for teat position was 0.242, 0.275 for teat size , and 0.294 for cistern depth, which is related to teat position. The highest value of genetic correlation (rg=0.980) was found between cistern depth and teat position. Negative genetic correlation was detected between teat position and teat size (â€“0.381), and teat position and udder cleft (â€“0.404). Heritability coefficients and genetic correlations of exact measurements of udder were comparable with traits of linear evaluation. For the parameter, udder length and rear udder depth, the detected band-measures were h2 = 0.219 or 0.223. Highest h2 was found for cistern depth (0.480), teat length (0.358) and teat angle (0.290) similar to linear evaluation.

To determine relationship between BCS, ramp fat thickness, body measurements and milk yield, a total of 44 Jersey crossbred cows were observed from calving to 120 days post-partum. The ultrasonography images were recorded from rump region during entire experimental period. Statistically analyzed data revealed that BCS, HG, THT were significantly (P<0.05) less in group 1 than group 2 and group 3. RFT/BFT differences were significant (P<0.05) among 3 groups. More RFT was found in high BCS group followed by medium and low BCS group. The BCS was having strong and significant (P<0.01) correlation with RFT and body weight of animals. The RFT was significantly (P<0.01) correlated with body weight, milk yield, HG, THT and AG. The higher BCS group, lost RFT, BCS and BW faster than other 2 groups to support milk production. It can be concluded that BCS at calving can be used as a reliable criterion in choosing Jersey crossbred cows for higher milk production at organized farm.

La investigación pretende analizar y cuantificar el comportamiento de las exportaciones de espárrago frescos en el mercado internacional y su impacto en el Producto Bruto Interno (PBI) agropecuario peruano. La dimensión del trabajo es de tipo descriptivo, no experimental y mediante la aplicación del método de investigación cuantitativo se diseñó el modelo econométrico autorregresivo de rezagos distribuidos (ARDL). Considerando las variables que influyen en el PBI agropecuario como: cantidad exportada de espárragos frescos, precio de exportación de los espárragos frescos y finalmente el tipo de cambio real multilateral. Para el desarrollo econométrico se usó data trimestral entre el periodo 2007-2019, obteniéndose como resultado que un incremento de la cantidad exportada de espárragos frescos en una tonelada influye en la tasa de crecimiento del PBI agropecuario promedio en 0.5%. Asimismo, se puede indicar que la variación en la cantidad exportada de dicha hortaliza se debe a diversos sucesos como es el factor clima, sustitución del área de cultivo y finalmente la poca inversión en el sector agrícola al igual que el mal manejo de la misma.

44th ASM Message, NEDA Secretary
Authors:   National Economic and Development Authority, Balisacan Arsenio
Published: December 2022

I am pleased to welcome our distinguished speakers, guests, and participants of the 44th Annual Scientific Meeting to its first in-person gathering since the start of the pandemic. On behalf of the National Economic and Development Authority, I would like to congratulate the National Academy of Science and Technology, Philippines for organizing this annual activity that serves as the leading forum for the presentation of scientific and policy research in the country. “What do you want to be by 2040? What do you want to do? What do you want to have?” These are the questions that NEDA asked Filipinos back in 2015 and 2016. The answers represent the collective long-term vision and aspirations of the Filipino people, referred to as the AmBisyon Natin 2040. It is summarized as enjoying a comfortable life in a predominantly middle-class society, where no one is poor and where everyone can feel secure about their future. This long-term vision is intended to serve as an anchor for development planning transcending political periods. As the country’s science, technology, and innovation (STI) foresight document, PAGTANAW 2050 supports the AmBisyon 2040 by offering a strong foundation for strategic planning focused on STI as development enablers and/or disruptors. Delving into local and global drivers of change that could affect the needs and aspirations of the Filipino people on, developments in areas of national interest before 2050 could be anticipated towards a more secure and competitive economy. I look forward to the policy recommendations resulting from this year’s Annual Scientific Meeting. With NEDA and NAST PHL working hand in hand, I am confident that our visions of AmBisyon Natin 2040 and PAGTANAW 2050 will truly become a reality. As the theme goes, let us look ahead to a sustainable and resilient future.
