Histomorphometry and μCT scan analysis of osteoporosis in spayed female dogs
Authors: Kostenko Ernest , ius Alius , Maknickas Algirdas
Published: February 2023

Background: Both humans and small animals suffer from similar metabolic and structural diseases that impact the musculoskeletal system; however, instead of studying animal disease in its own right, animals are more often used as models for research into various human ailments, such as osteoporosis. There are few studies indicating that animals may suffer from osteoporosis, which raises the question of why small animals, which we believe to be equally susceptible, receive so little attention. With this research, we hope to draw the attention of researchers to the fact that the examination of animals for this disease is just as important as the examination of humans; human osteoporosis research receives a great deal of attention, while animals and their health are neglected.
Aims: We aimed to analyse the bone volume fraction (BV/TV) and thickness of first (L1) and second (L2) lumbar vertebrae samples from five cadavers using histomorphometric analysis. In addition, we aimed to investigate one cadaver using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) imaging.
Methods: The L1 and L2 vertebrae from five dog carcasses were used to evaluate the BV/TV and the trabecular thicknesses. We used precise sampling criteria, and also developed a methodological approach to the study of the vertebrae. Using semi-automated methods, we performed histomorphometric analysis and microcomputed tomography data analysis.
Results: We used five dog cadavers in this research. During the histomorphometry study, we observed that the lowest L1 BV/TV ratio was 7.88% and the highest was 23.08%. The L2 vertebrae BV/TV ranged from 11.58 to 23.7%. The L1 and L2 lumbar trabeculae thicknesses were also measured. L1's smallest trabecula was 17.34 microns and its largest was 31.88. The L2 vertebrae trabecula thickness was 18.76 to 30.75 microns. BV/TV and trabecular thickness were positively correlated (and vice versa). The two-tailed P value was less than 0.00001. This difference is statistically significant. After microcomputed tomography analysis, we discovered regions in the vertebral body with low porosity; these cavities are usually filled with connective tissue. The bone tissue in these areas is more vulnerable, meaning fracture risk has increased.
Conclusions: Animals should not just be considered as models for osteoporosis in humans, but also as potential patients. A single test, such as histomorphometry, may not be sufficient; more advanced technology, such as microcomputed tomography, is required, since it reveals the pores that make the vertebral column more brittle and susceptible to fracture.

Published: February 2023

Background: Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is a malignant tumor that can rapidly infiltrate the oral epithelial tissue and cause high mortality worldwide because the available therapies are less effective. Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium leaf contains secondary metabolites as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, and antimutagenic.
Aims: The study aimed to analyze the ethanolic extract of C. cinerariifolium leaf in reducing proliferation (Ki-67) and the degree of dysplasia in OSCC rats.
Methods: This study used male Sprague Dawley induced by DMBA 0.5% and divided into five treatment groups, namely positive control/C+ (sick), negative control/C- (healthy), and treatment group generated with DMBA and given extract C. cinerariifolium leaf with successive doses of T1, T2, and T3 (50, 100 and 200 mg/k g bw). The oral epithelium was stained with hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemically stained with a Ki-67 monoclonal antibody. Statistical analysis utilizing One-Way ANOVA.
Results: The results showed that T1 at a dose of 200 mg/kg bw could significantly reduce Ki-67 expression and the degree of oral epithelial dysplasia (p<0.05) close to healthy controls.
Conclusion: The conclusion shows that C. cinerariifolium leaf extract can be a therapy against OSCC by decreasing cell proliferation and the degree of oral epithelial dysplasia.
Molecular characterization of norovirus and sapovirus detected in animals and humans in Costa Rica: Zoo-anthropozoonotic potential of human norovirus GII.4
Authors: Matamoros Derling , Worsfold Cristina , Campos Roc , a Hilda , n Elena , nchez Carlos
Published: February 2023

Background: Noroviruses (NoV) and sapoviruses (SaV) are a major cause of acute viral gastroenteritis in humans worldwide, as well as gastrointestinal infection in animals. However, it has not been determined whether these viruses are zoonotic pathogens.
Aim: In this study, we investigated the presence of NoV and SaV in stool samples from dogs, pigs, cows, and humans to determine some aspects of the molecular epidemiology and the genetic relationship of several strains present in these species.
Methods: Polymerase chain reaction and sequencing of NoV and SaV strains present in stool samples from humans and dogs with diarrhea, pigs and cattle with and without diarrhea were carried out during fragmented periods from 2002 to 2012.
Results: Of all samples analyzed, 11.6% (123/1,061) of the samples were positive for NoV and 0.88% (9/1,023) were positive for SaV. The phylogenetic analysis confirmed 16 human strains of NoV (HuNoV) belonging to HuNoV G?/GII.P2 (1), GII.4/GII.P4 (5), G?/GII.P4 (9) and GII.6/GII.P6 (1) and allowed us to verify and assign three strains of human SaV to genotypes GI.2 (1) and GII.5 (2). In dogs, eight strains of NoV [HuNoV G?/GII.P4 (4) and canine G?/GVI.P1 (4)] and two strains of canine SaV were determined. In pigs, six strains were assigned to HuNoV G?/GII.P4 and four strains to porcine SaV were assigned to genogroup GIII (2), GVIII (1), and GXI (1). In bovines, five strains were characterized as HuNoV G?/GII.P4.
Conclusions: This study showed that NoV and SaV prototype strains have been present in humans and dogs in Costa Rica. Additionally, it revealed that the zoonotic potential of SaV is very limited, while the zoonotic implications for HuNoV GII.4 are stronger due to the simultaneous circulation of strains related to HuNoV GII.4 in four species, which suggests a zoo-anthropozoonosis.

Cellular and Animal Models of Parkinson’s Disease: Rationale into Neuroprotective Effects of Naringenin
Authors: Hilal Ahmad Mir , Chandra Mondal
Published: February 2023

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common movement condition, marked by motor and nonmotor characteristics. Because thepathophysiology has not been fully understood, the current therapeutic regimen for PD is primarily symptomatic. Several animalmodels have been developed to explore various facets of the disease to understand pathogenesis. The pathophysiology of PD remainscomplex, and existing PD therapies appear to be clinically inefficient. Detailed studies on developing novel pharmaceutical alternativeshave shown that natural compounds, such as herbal remedies, extracts, and their secondary metabolites, offer immense potential ascytoprotective treatments in PD. Recent preclinical studies show that a variety of herbal medicines and their bioactive constituents canbe turned into optimal pharmaceuticals for PD treatment. Naringenin (NAR) is a flavonoid showing neuroprotection in PD pathogenesis.Here, we focus on the neuroprotective ability of bioactive NAR in cellular and animal models of PD research.
Age, sex, religion and caste specific goitre prevalence in Murshidabad district of West Bengal, India
Authors: Tripathy Smritiratan
Published: February 2023

Goitre prevalence of selected population in respect of age, sex, religion and caste was evaluated in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal during post salt iodization phase. The study was carried out on 9321 school children in the age group 6-12 years of both sexes from randomly selected 26 representative localities from all 26 Community Development Blocks. Children were clinically examined for goitre.  Result showed that the prevalence of goitre was found at endemic level. The overall goitre prevalence was found 22.1%. Besides palpable goiter (2.5%), the prevalence of visible goiter (19.7%) in school children was prevalent. A gradual increase in goitre rate was found from the age of 6 yr till the age of 8 yr followed by a short decline at the age of 9 yr to 12 yr. Goitre was most prevalent in Hindus (23.7%) than Muslim (21.4%) communities. Among the Hindus, general caste (20.8%) students suffered more than Scheduled caste & Scheduled tribe (19.0%). These variations in goitre prevalence among different caste and religions might be due to their different environmental adaptability and dietary habit.
Mechanism of development of residual goitre and associated thyroid disorders
Authors: Chandra Amar K
Published: February 2023

In post salt iodination period, endemic goiter that generally develops for iodine deficiency is found prevalent in many regions, including India, despite adequate iodine intake. Such goiters are termed as residual goiters. Consumption of dietary goitrogens could be the possible regulator in the persistence of residual goitre and associated disorders. Residual goitres exist in Manipur, India for the consumption of bamboo shoots (BS). Therefore, to study the actions of BS on major thyroid hormone synthesizing regulatory factors at cellular and molecular levels on isolated thyrocytes conducted perusing expression of NIS, TPO, Tg and PDS proteins as well as mRNA and protein expression of NIS, TPO, Tg, PDS, MCT8 and PAX8 with and without extra iodine in in-vitro studies. Simultaneously, ROS generation in terms of H2O2 and antioxidant status, NO, LPO were assayed. Cellular and DNA damage and oxidation, including cell cycle alterations after BS exposure, were also investigated. Precursors and metabolic end products of cyanogenic glycosides on phytochemical analysis found in BS. It has pleiotropic effects on thyrocytes. It repressed the activities of Na+-K+-ATPase, TPO and D2, as well as reduced the expression of NIS, TPO, Tg, PDS proteins and MCT8 and PAX8, at mRNA level. All these effects of BS are mediated through increased ROS levels as H2O2 upsurge leading to a perturbed pro-oxidant antioxidant balance in thyrocytes associated with cellular and DNA damage and oxidation. Increased LPO and NO levels upon exposure of BS extract triggered plasma membrane and organelle damage of thyrocytes, which are major sites of NIS, TPO, PDS and MCT8, leading to thyroid disfunction. Cellular and DNA damage/oxidation was observed that leads to disruption of normal cell cycle pattern of thyrocytes which in turn causes changes in apoptotic proteins Bax, Bcl-2 and p53. These changes imply imbalance of cell death and proliferation equilibrium leading to disease conditions as found in goitre upon exposure to BS extract. Extra iodine prevents goitrogenic/anti-thyroid influences of BS on such actions to an extent. Thyroid diseases among residual goitrous population following consumption of BS evaluated by their iodine nutritional and salt iodization status, serumT3, T4 and TSH profiles, TPO- and Tg-Ab antibodies, thyroid ultrasonography, the prevalence of hypo- and hyperthyroidism and cytomorphological features. Goitrous populations are affected by subclinical and overt hypo- and hyperthyroidism with elevated thyroid autoantibodies, hypoechoic thyroid and thyroiditis. This study concludes that residual goitrous individuals are affected by different autoimmune thyroid disorders. Excess thiocyanate from dietary goitrogens of cyanogenic origin (BS) is responsible for the development of residual goitre followed by its progression towards different thyroid autoimmune disorders.

Published: February 2023

Context: India, in its strategy to reduce the spread of COVID-19 pandemic, imposed a nation-wide lockdown. Social restriction measures, when imposed legally, could change behavioural patterns among population groups. The changes in key behavioural patterns including exercise, sleep and eating habits are influenced during lockdown & can have implications on health of individual for a long duration.

Aim: To assess the effect of lockdown on physical activity, sleep and eating habits among adults in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India

Settings and Design: A web-based cross-sectional survey

Methods and Material: After obtaining ethics clearance, the was conducted among volunteers ≥18 years of age in Nagpur district. A self-reported retrospective pre-post questionnaire was disseminated through multiple platforms as an online survey form. A modified Global Physical activity questionnaire was used to assess level of physical activity. Sleep pattern was assessed using selected components of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Diet pattern was assessed by using food frequency questionnaire for specific food groups.

Statistical analysis used:. Most of the quantitative parameters followed a non-normal distribution. The Wilcoxon Signed-rank test, McNemar's test and a binomial test were used to study difference between quantitative parameters, paired proportions and difference in proportions respectively using SPSS v 24.0.

Results: A total of 586 responses were received through the online survey. The prevalence of physical inactivity increased from 47.6 % to 51.3% during the lockdown. The change in physical activity pattern from adequate to inadequate was 63% less likely compared to the converse (OR (95%CI) – 0.37 (0.18 -0.74)).The increase in sleep latency was at least 9 (OR (95%CI) = 9.33 (5.73 - 15.19)) times more likely during lockdown compared to a reduction. There was a significant increase in frequency intake of Green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits and fried foods during lockdown. But there was a significant decline in intake of eggs and non-vegetarian foods during lockdown.

Conclusions: The levels of physical inactivity and duration of sleep latency increased during lockdown in central India. Leafy vegetables and fresh fruits were preferred over non-vegetarian foods. The impact of these behavioural changes needs to be further explored.
Iodine level and Hardness in Drinking Water in Selected Areas of Howrah and Purba Medinipur District, West Bengal state of India

Published: February 2023

Endemic goiter has been reported from the southern part of West Bengal. The bioavailability of iodine and hardness of water used for drinking in the region are inversely and directly related to goiter prevalence in several geographical regions. These factors were evaluated to study the etiological factors for the persistence of endemic goiter. The local drinking water concentration can give an induction of the iodine content of the soil. Water hardness is defined by the high concentrations of calcium and magnesium present. In the present study, 5 Community Development (CD) Blocks and 8 CD Blocks attached to the river Ganga are selected from Howrah and coastal areas of Purba Medinipur district, respectively. From each CD Block, at least 8 drinking water samples were collected and analyzed for iodine, calcium, and magnesium content. Iodine content in drinking water samples was found in the range from 7.5 to 95.4 μg/L and the hardness of drinking water was found to range from 210.3 to 625.7 ppm. The presence of magnesium was found to be higher than the calcium salts in most of the samples. These findings suggest that all most all the studied region is environmentally iodine sufficient but water is relatively hard and thus, the possibility of the hardness of water for the persistence of endemic goiter may not be ruled out.

Property tax, taxpayers voices and tax compliance in local governments: A case study of land use charge in Lagos State, Nigeria
Authors: Augustine Adekoya A , Ifayemi M Olayinka
Published: February 2023

Property Tax (PT) is chargeable on real property on an annual basis. Worldwide, PT has been a subject of political debate as it plays a vital role in the area of political, social and economic activities. Property taxes evasion are very high in developing countries and perceived to have adversely affects Local Government (LG) revenues. Many studies have been conducted on taxpayers’ compliance behaviour, but not many focused on PT, taxpayer voices and Tax Compliance (TC). This study examined PT, taxpayers’ voices and TC in LGs using Land Use Charge (LUC) in Lagos State, Nigeria as case study. The study employed explanatory research design. Secondary data on LUC collections shared to LGs from 2011-2021 were used. Descriptive statistics of data analysis was adopted. The study revealed that the power of citizens’ voices against government policies and unfriendly laws has negative impact on tax revenues and compliance, this leads to citizens’ apathy, non-compliance and loss of tax revenues. The study also revealed that there are less TC to PT due to few numbers of properties enumerated and taxpayers’ compliance rate. The study recommends that PT laws should be friendly, just and fair while a good PT administration with the use of modern technology of Geographic Information Systems mapping for property identification and tax collections be enhanced. Government should also promote public awareness on PT payment while LG legitimacy and accountability to taxpayers would enhance climate of trust, minimized fraud, eradicate corruption and ensure voluntary tax compliance.

Role of Policy Formulation in Tribal Education: Gadchiroli District
Authors: S. Kumare Swapnil
Published: February 2023

Education is a fundamental right of all human beings and access to education should never be denied based on racial or cultural background. Unfortunately, this is often the case for those belonging to tribal communities. In many tribal communities, educational institutions are not adequately funded, resources are scarce and teachers often lack the necessary skills and commitment needed to provide quality education. In addition, there are various cultural factors that impede the educational progress of tribal children. This blog post will explore the role of policy formulation in ensuring that tribal children have access to quality education. We will look at what policies need to be put in place and how these policies can help create an environment where tribal children can receive the same level of education as non-tribal communities

Published: February 2023

This paper aims to examine the nonlinear dynamics of a van der Pol-Mathieu-Duffing oscillator under the effect of fast harmonic excitation. The governing equations of motion describing the harmonically forced oscillations of the van der-Pol-Mathieu-Duffing oscillator are expressed in terms of the second-order nonhomogeneous nonlinear ordinary differential equation with suitable initial conditions. This paper uses Krylov-Bogoliubov averaging technique for the stability analysis of the system. The frequency response curves under the effect of external excitation, damping, and nonlinearity are obtained at various resonances. Additionally, the stable and unstable regions were identified. It turns out that the damping reduces the amplitude of oscillations and squeezes the instability regions, whereas the stability region grew with the increase in the amplitude of external excitation.

Published: February 2023

Education advances every day, and one such advancement is the Learning Management System (LMS) which has been used in various countries worldwide. It gained greater impetus when online education came into the picture in 2020 globally to the entry of COVID-19. However, LMS is still an unexplored topic in some regions of the world. This paper aims to spell out how the inclusion of LMS can provide an easy imparting of education and a very convenient way of transferring knowledge so that the institutes not exposed to such experience could know about this. LMS helps instructors manage all academic activities from anywhere, anytime, as it is online-integrated software designed to support education online or offline. This paper intends to enlist the usefulness of one such LMS called Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle), an e-learning platform that facilitates impactful teaching and learning. Instructors and students who have used Moodle are interviewed in a semi-formal way. The descriptive methodology was used to identify the highlights of the responses. The results of this study bring the effectiveness of Moodle into the limelight so that institutions adopt it to enhance the teaching process in effective learning. Hence, it lists the limitations of Moodle where the scope for development exists and intends to recommend to educationists to invest in LMS to contribute toward the holistic development of 21st-century education.

Authors: Stanley Ordu , Chituru Wagwu Helen , Attah Egu Francis , Ayuba Mary , Adedapo Oladeji Shote
Published: February 2023

Gender is made up of the two sexes, especially when it comes to social and cultural differences instead of biological ones. Gender problems have more to do with how people are treated than with how men and women are made. Gender issues are not just a problem for women, as some people think. Instead, they are mostly about how men and women interact with the social, cultural, political, and economic systems of society. Gender theory was used to guide the analysis of the work. As well, a qualitative investigation was done. The investigation found that there is a gender gap in the workforce, social, cultural, and educational fields, and that women are trafficked. This led the author to say that women should be given more power through education. The work is only one book, called "The Virtuous Woman." In conclusion, women are treated unfairly in our society. Education and other programs could help women become more independent so that society can become more fair.
The Patron Saint of Feminism: J. S. Mill on Women with Reference to ‘The Subjection of Women’
Authors: Eshika N
Published: February 2023

Despite the recurring feminist onslaught targeting the canon of political philosophy due to the philosophers’ unrelenting refusal to acknowledge women’s rights owing to the former’s unwavering advocacy of the naturalness of gender-based differences, the paper argues that such a uniformly antagonistic attitude is only self-defeating. Thus, this paper has been written with the urgent requisite of reading and re-reading philosophical texts by employing what Jacques Derrida would understand as a double mode of reading, and taking into account Quentin Skinner’s emphasis on the need to take into account the stated intention of the author. With these methodological concerns, the paper undertakes a nuanced textual analysis of John Stuart Mill’s ‘The Subjection of Women’ (1869), providing an understanding of it in a fairly intelligible manner. The paper argues that Mills’s work sets a precedent for feminist foundational thought, not merely in his attempts to deconstruct the assumed inferiority of women as socially constructed—paralleling the concerns voiced by early figures such as Mary Wollstonecraft—but specifically in his incessant emphasis on the work being posthumously authored by his wife, Harriet Taylor.

We are said to be the people of the modern age where we understand our rights and enjoy our freedom, but is this the real case? As we all live in a society or a community of people where we are expected to be someone in a framework of that particular community-based defined guidelines, this can be the case with religion, caste, or gender such situation can be called or defined as stereotypes, in simple we can define stereotypes as a particular type of person. Similarly, in the case of Gender, a gender stereotype is something that categories a person as a male or female or other just on the way they act, behave or handle their personality as every gender is expected to act or behave according to their defined gender and if he or she fails to do so it acts as a platform for gender inequality otherwise called as gender discrimination. Gender inequality is the main tool or a strong platform for gender inequality hence it becomes very necessary to understand gender stereotypes and their impact on gender discrimination and gender inequality. In this research paper, we will try to understand gender stereotypes and their impact on gender inequality. The main aim of this study was to understand the various faces of gender-based inequality faced by women on daily basis because of gender stereotypes. Hence this research paper draws a conclusion from uncovering the two faces of gender discrimination one of them is gender stereotypes and the other is gender inequality.

We Will Always Be Better Than a Spreadsheet

Previous studies point to an increasingly entrenched risk-based logic of performance management in policing, where crime fighting is central. This article analyses how police crime preventers respond to these shifts and develop their practice. We explore empirically how intelligence-led policing is employed in police crime prevention efforts in a vulnerable area and the dilemmas that arise. Drawing on institutional logic theory we examine the rejigging of the pressures and complexities of institutional logic in question. We particularly highlight how a risk-based logic affects the practices of the police crime preventers: the type of data that is seen as important and how it is used. Crime prevention and intelligence-led policing both are future-oriented, although they have different time frames and requirements for what is defined as valid knowledge. To conclude, our findings indicate there have been shifts in relations and the power balance within the police organization, owing to the demands of data-driven police practice.

УСПІШНІ КЕЙСИ МІЖНАРОДНИХ КОМПАНІЙ У СФЕРІ КОРПОРАТИВНОЇ СОЦІАЛЬНОЇ ВІДПОВІДАЛЬНОСТІ
Authors: Длугопольська Тетяна , Сентик Максим
Published: February 2023

Метою дослідження є узагальнення найкращих практик корпоративної соціальної відповідальності міжнародних компаній, особливо під впливом глобальної пандемії COVID-19. У дослідженні використано методи логічного узагальнення, аналізу, порівняння, групування, графічні та табличні. Особливістю корпоративної соціальної відповідальності є її приналежність до суспільного або квазісуспільного блага, що поєднує корпоративне управління й економіку публічного сектора. Низка сучасних досліджень указує на прямий зв'язок соціальної відповідальності та репутації компаній, оскільки її найбільш важливими факторами визнаються якість товарів та послуг (20,1 %), якість управління (14,8 %), громадянство (14,4 %), фінансовий успіх (13,2 %) та інновації (13,1 %).У статті наголошено, що глобальний уплив пандемії COVID-19 сприяв тому, що організації в прискореному режимі почали розвивати власну стратегічну гнучкість та різні моделі корпоративної соціальної відповідальності. Відтак у 2022 р. рейтинг соціально відповідальних компаній очолили: Rolex, Ferrari, Lego Group, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz, Harley-Davidson, The Bosch Group, PayPal, Netflix, Intel. Визначено, що пандемія COVID-19 сприяла появі нових соціальних ініціатив: від створення інноваційного фонду кліматичних рішень, відмови від використання пластику до забезпечення дітей із малозабезпечених сімей безкоштовним доступом до Інтернету та гаджетами. У статті доведено, що зростання лояльності споживачів, підвищення репутації корпорацій як привабливих роботодавців безпосередньо впливають на збільшення обсягів продажів, мотивацію співробітників, бажання держави та суспільства взаємодіяти із соціально відповідальними компаніями, зростання ринкової вартості компаній.

Background: This research attempts to determine the needs of the physiotherapy graduates and the needs emerge when they start their career as professionals. Furthermore, the importance of the creation of a supporting program is being investigated, which will assist graduates and specially those who are interested in working in the field of pediatric physiotherapy. The program will provide solutions to graduates for practicalpsychological issues, which might arise in the first steps of their career and will provide solid guidance and incident handling. Material and methods:92 physiotherapists participated in the study. Those are employed in private physiotherapy centers, public hospitals, school for special needs, recovery centershome-based therapy in Thessaloniki area. The data was collected by using questionnaires during the months of October 2018 to January 2019. Results:Descriptive analysis and exploratory factoring methods were applied for the statistical processing, which resulted in the conclusion that there is a need to support and guide the new physiotherapy graduates, so that they can integrate smoothly into their new professional life and have a successful career. The views of physiotherapists are not affected by their various demographic characteristics. Conclusions: It is necessary to guide the new physiotherapy graduates in general and more particularly in pediatric physiotherapy, through a tutor-based supporting program. keywords : Pediatric Physiotherapy, Tutor-based Supporting program, Mentor
Book Review: Engaging International Alumni as Strategic Partners.
Authors: Agbonlahor Osasohan
Published: February 2023

About 1.1 million international students were enrolled in U.S. institutions in the 2019–2020 academic year (Institute of International Education, 2021). Given limited work visas and the ever-changing political climates that impact migration, most international students will return to their home countries and will be unable to remain connected with alumni activities in their former host countries. A few institutions have attempted to maintain relationships with these former international students through their alumni relations office. The book Engaging International Alumni as Strategic Partners offers innovative ideas and approaches on how institutions can effectively develop, grow, and sustain such programs of engagement and why institutions should be strategic in their engagement with international alumni.

In the present study, MC1R, which play an important role in normal pigmentation in Skeen and wool, was candidate to assess the lethal grey disease in Persian lamb. Blood samples (50) were collected randomly from grey Shiraz sheep, and DNA was extracted by salting out method. One of these samples showing the disease was assigned as control case. Two pairs of specific primers of P1MC1R and P2MC1R were designed to amplify two fragments from upstream regulatory region (URR) and coding sequence (CDS) of MC1R gene. After genotyping by SSCPtechnique, samples from each banding patterns were sequenced and analyzed using BioEdit and DNASIS MAX softwares. Comparing sequences from control (sick lamb) with healthy ones showed different haplotype in productsof each specific primer pairs. The multiple alignments revealed a 26 bp In/Del occurring at PCR product of P1MC1R gene in control case which was not observed in other studied lambs, and also 7 and 11 different positions were seen between sequence amplified by P1MC1R and P2MC1R primers, respectively. Further bioinformatics analysis showed that 26 bp insertion/deletion (In/Del) occurred in control case P1MC1R sequence caused deletion of gamma_IRE_CS and LBP_1_RS motifs from URR of control case. It seems this 26 bp In/Del mutation might have changed its expression and can be potential cause of grey lethal disease in studied sheep breed.

The objective of this study was to compare the predictive performance of some data mining algorithmsimplemented in the estimation of egg weight (EW), some egg quality traits measurements in quail. These qualitytraits are albumen weight (AW), yolk weight (YW), specific weight (SW), albumen index (AI), albumen height(AH), yolk index (YI), shell weight (SHW), shell thickness (SHT), Haugh unit (HU) and shape index (SI). Forcomparing the predictive performance of these algorithms in Model, goodness of fit criteria such as coefficient ofdetermination (R2%), adjusted coefficient of determination (Adj. R2%), coefficient of variation (CV%), SD ratio,root mean square error (RMSE), relative approximation error (RAE), and Pearson correlation coefficient, betweenobserved and predicted values were calculated. The heaviest average EW of 13.516 g was obtained from thesubgroup of those having AW > 8 cm. The results showed that the analysis based on exhaustive CHAID might beuseful for further researches linked with characterization of quail egg better than those provided by CART andCHAID algorithms.
