PROGRESS IN RA
Authors: KIRAKOSYAN Narine , KHACHATRYAN Mane
Published: December 2022

The cultural policy of the Republic of Armenia, among other issues, is directed at the
preservation of historical and cultural heritage. However, the costs for the
implementation of this problem in our country are only 0.03% of the total costs.
Meanwhile, statistical data shows that the number of visitors to Armenia for cultural
tourism is increasing annually: reaching more than half of the visitors. For the
preservation, management, and development of cultural heritage, it is necessary to
implement modern strategic plans, which will contribute to conserving the historical and cultural heritage and developing cultural tourism potential. Stable cultural development is an imperative and mandatory requirement of the current time. It is a new way of thinking that implies the harmony of economic, social, cultural, ecological, and political spheres. It is indisputable that culture is an essential resource in this harmony. Culture nowadays is perceived as a set of spiritual, material, intellectual, and emotional characteristics specific to each society, social group, and individual. In recent years, the role of culture in development has become increasingly important in Armenia. The challenge is recognizing all the advantages of culture and consistently including culture as a crucial and stable component in national development programs and policies.
THE POSSIBLE SCENARIOS OF TAX REFORMS
Authors: TAVADYAN Emma
Published: December 2022

The article analyzes the scenarios of export customs duties while reducing income tax
on finished products. It is shown how this scenario based on the revenue side of the state
budget will positively affect the volume of exports of finished goods, GDP, and
employment from the point of view of fiscal functions, as well as stimulating, and
regulatory functions. It is shown that the funds deducted to the state budget from the
export customs duty are a guideline for applying a reduced income tax when exporting
finished goods. The fiscal functions in the case of the exports of raw materials make it
possible to actively apply the functions of stimulating the exports of finished goods. The
article substantiates that these tax changes do not reduce the role of the fiscal function of
the tax system, while increasing the role of the stimulating functions of the tax system
for the exports of finished goods.

Ex-postonderzoek in fusiezaken

Door achteraf de effecten van fusies op bijvoorbeeld prijs of kwaliteit te meten met zogenoemde ex-postonderzoeken, kunnen mededingingsautoriteiten waardevolle inzichten verkrijgen in de impact van eerdere fusies, ten behoeve van het verbeteren van het concentratietoezicht in algemene zin. Een relatief nieuwe ontwikkeling is dat de effecten van eerdere concentraties in dezelfde markt en/of van dezelfde partijen rechtstreeks worden gebruikt in de inhoudelijke beoordeling van voorgenomen concentraties, bijvoorbeeld als aanwijzing voor het bestaan van een machtspositie of het strategische gedrag van de betreffende partijen. Dit artikel schetst de voordelen en uitdagingen die hiermee gepaard gaan, aan de hand van voorbeelden uit de (inter)nationale mededingingspraktijk.

Published: December 2022

When assessing the health of steel structures, capturing, and modelling the geometry is especially important. Point cloud-based technologies have special requirements; previous studies revealed certain challenges that are to be resolved. In this paper, we aimed to develop a method to investigate the effects that the surface reflectance, incidence angle, and distance have on the quality of the point cloud of steel sections. A controlled environment was established for the research, where three terrestrial laser scanners were used to measure four different steel specimens. For validation, we also made reference measurements with a structured light scanner. Due to a large amount of data, a workflow with own routines has been developed for processing the prepared measurement datasets. For standard steel sections, the comparative study clearly showed a significant influence of the section shape, resulting in occlusion and unfavorable incidence angles. Of the devices tested, the one de-signed for high-precision measurements showed the intensity highlighting phenomenon for highly reflective surfaces, however, the measurements demonstrate that with careful selection of measurement conditions and a few pre-processing steps, the technology is well suited for the assessment of steel structures.

Investigating cotton dyeing using exotic wood waste sawdust
Authors: Brański Robert , Radomski Andrzej
Published: December 2022

Investigating cotton dyeing using exotic wood sawdust. The study investigated the possibility of using
extracts from various species of exotic wood, obtained from waste sawdust, for dyeing cotton fabrics. Material
from Obeche, Iroko, Merbau, Apple tree, American walnut, Tulip tree, Cumaru and Rosewood were used for the
tests. Solutions of oxalic acid, tin chloride, aluminum sulfate and ferric chloride were used as mordants, along with
no-mordant tests. The color was determined in the CIE L*a*b* coordinate system. Color fastness was tested using
n-hexane for dry cleaning and acidic, alkaline and hydrogen peroxide bleach solutions. The results showed a strong
dependence on the type of wood, the mortar used and the washing agent and covered a wide spectrum of color
intensity and fastness. The best results were obtained for Rosewood, Merbau and Apple trees, while Tulip tree and
American walnut turned out to be practically useless. Among the mordants used, the most intense colors were
produced by metal salts, including ferric chloride, which strongly darkened fabrics. Dry cleaning proved to be the
mildest of those tested, with the least effect on color fading.

Authors: DOWARAH RUNJUN , VERMA A K , AGARWAL NEETA , SINGH P
Published: December 2022

An experiment was conducted with early weaned crossbred piglets (36) to evaluate antioxidant status and blood biochemical profile in grower-finisher pigs. The piglets were distributed into three groups (4 replicates of 3 each) and supplemented with basal diet either without probiotics (T0) or with a probiotic of dairy based (Lactobacillus acidophilus NCDC-15; T1) or swine based (Pediococcus acidilactici FT28; T2). Blood was collected at 45, 90 days (grower phase) and 136, 180 days (finisher phase) of feeding and analysed for various antioxidants and metabolites. Results of the study revealed that supplementation of probiotics improved superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and reduced glutathione (GSH) activity in early weaned grower-finisher pigs. Whereas, GSH activity was better in P. acidilactici FT28 fed group compared to L. acidophilus fed group. Serum glucose level was reduced in both T1 and T2 groups compared to control, which was further reduced in T2 group compared to T1. The total protein, albumin and globulin level in serum remained higher in T2 group in comparison to other dietary groups. Serum triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol was lower in P. acidilactici FT28 fed group. The HDL-cholesterol level was better by probiotic supplementation in grower-finisher pigs. It was concluded that supplementation of hostorigin probiotic was effective to reduce stress besides having potential to improve blood biochemical profile.

Published: December 2022

Mastitis is a most frequently occurring disease in dairy cattle which causes severe losses in milk production. In our study, we had collected 9960 weekly test day milk yield (WTDMY) records over a period of five years (2010– 2015) of 130 purebred Jersey cows reared at Central Cattle Breeding Farm, Sunabeda, Odisha under Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India. To study the lactation pattern of above milk data, we used six different lactation curve models, viz. Wilmink (WK), Wood (WD), Brody (BRD), Morant and Gnanasakthy (MG), Mitscherlich × Exponential (ME) and Ali and Schaeffer (AS). It was observed that in healthy and cows affected with mastitis, Ali and Schaeffer (AS) model showed best fit giving highest value of adjusted coefficient of determination (R2 adj.= 0.963) and lowest value of root mean square of error (0.303), Akaike’s information criterion (–97.887) and Schwartz Bayesian Information Criterion (–89.081). Testing of residuals was carried out by several tests, viz. the Shapiro- Wilk’s test, the run test and the Durbin-Watson (DW). Summary measures revealed that the loss of milk production due to mastitis with respect to healthy cows was 4.43%. Lactation persistency was estimated by ratio method and Mahadevan method. Higher persistency was observed in healthy cows.

Published: December 2022

The objectives of this study was to evaluate the hospital occurrence of various radiographic lesions of the distal limb (bones and joints) lameness in equine and to evaluate the role of nerve and joint blocks for the localization of lameness in equine. All the equine lameness cases (117), presented during the one year study period that were subjected to radiographic evaluation, were investigated. Out of these, 20 equine lameness cases were subjected to systematic evaluation including nerve / joint blocks to confirm, whether the clinically or radiographically detectedlesion was the primary cause for the lameness or not. Out of 117, 78 equine (66.67%), were diagnosed with 124 radiographic lesions involving 101 limbs. The majority (62.8%) of the equines had single radiographic lesion, whereas the remaining animals were detected with multiple lesions involving one (15.4%) or more limbs (21.8%). Majority cases of equine lameness were recorded in winter season. Highest per cent lesions were recorded in hoofregion (25.81%) with more common involvement of fore feet (68.75%) and in mares (54.54%). Hock and fetlock regions were second (22.6%) and third (21.8%) most common regions for occurrence of equine lameness. Fetlock joint of hindlimb (63%) was more commonly affected than that of the forelimb. In this study, 16 nerve / joint blocks were applied in 15 horses and these were found helpful in confirming the lameness lesions in 66.7% cases. In conclusion, high prevalence of multiple lesions involving one or more limb poses great diagnostic challenge. Forelimb hoof and the hock were most frequently involved in distal limb lameness in equine. Periostitis and arthritis were most prevalent lameness causing lesions in equine. Physical examinations, nerve/ joint bocks and radiography complement each other in confirming the site of lesion causing lameness.

SCD goats had significantly lower lymphocyte stimulation index by cell culture and higher apoptotic cell percentage by flow cytometry than NSCD goats. The concentration of the transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-Î²1) by ELISA was significantly higher in SCD goats than in NSCD. The expressions of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-Î±) and interleukin 8 (IL 8) by RT-PCR were higher in SCD goats than in non-diabetic ones. Expression of transcription factor (NF-ÎºB) by western blot was significantly higher in SCD goats than NSCD goats. Fall of antioxidants (GSH, SOD, catalase) and rise of oxidants (LPO) suggest oxidative stress. Decrease of immune cell function, rise of inflammatory cytokines and transcription factors suggest immune dysfunction. Hence it was concluded that SCD induced oxidative stress and impairment of immunity in goats, which was most likely associated with depletion of antioxidants, increase of oxidants and inflammatory mediators. NF-ÎºB, most likely have played a mediatory role in coordinating these intricate responses.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between different combinations of seven (ompT, hlyF, iss, iutA, iroN, tsh and cvaC) Colicin V (ColV) plasmid associated virulence genes (VGs) and pathogenicity of avian E. coli isolates. After detection of the different patterns of VGs among 290 E. coli isolates from pericarditis and femoral head necrosis lesions of colibacillosis and the 70 isolates from feces of apparently healthy birds (AFEC), the day-old chick lethality test was conducted. Distribution of genetic patterns was different between the APECs and AFECs isolates, so that 67.3% of the APECs typed were represented by two specific genetic patterns (ompT+/hlyF+/iss+/iutA+/iroN+/tsh+/cvaC+; ompT+/hlyF+/iss+/iutA+/iroN+/tsh+/cvaC-). Furthermore, both the APECs and AFECs isolates with different genetic patterns were lethal for day-old chicks. The ColV plasmid or some of its VGs can provide helpful characteristics to describe APECs. Furthermore, extraintestinal environments may supply requirements for the pathogenicity of the avian E. coli isolates harboring different genetic background. However, further studies are needed to confirm the definite link between avian E. coli isolates pathogenicity and their genotype.

Linolenic acid is integral component of cell membrane that has the ability to protect the structural and functional integrity of buffalo spermatozoa during freeze-thawing. Therefore, present study was designed to evaluate supplementation of linolenic acid (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10.0 ng/ml) in extender on freezability and in vivo fertility of buffalo bull spermatozoa. Semen from healthy breeding Murrah buffalo bulls (4) was collected using artificial vagina (one ejaculate/bull/session; n=24). Qualified semen ejaculates (1â€“2 ml volume; >70% motility; â‰¥4 mass activity; 1.0 billion/ml concentration) were diluted with Tris-citric acid extender containing 0.0 (control), 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 ng/ml linolenic acid at 37Â°C and cryopreserved following established protocol. Sperm progressive motility, viability and plasma membrane integrity were recorded higher in extender containing 5.0 ng/ml of linolenic acid compared to control and other concentrations. Sperm acrosome and DNA integrity exhibited no difference in all experimental extenders with linolenic acid compared to control. Total 60 artificial inseminations were performed with the best evolved extender having linolenic acid (5.0 ng/ml) and control (30 inseminations each). In vivo fertility rates of buffalo semen were recorded higher with extender containing linolenic acid (5.0 ng/ml; 46.7%) compared to control (36.7%). In conclusion, supplementing 5.0 ng/ml linolenic acid in extender improved the postthaw quality and in vivo fertility of cryopreserved Murrah buffalo bull semen.
Evaluation of miRNAs targeted RBPs under hypoxia in cancer
Authors: CHAUDHARY NISHANT
Published: December 2022

Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are miniature, non-coding RNA molecules which are implicated in post-transcriptional regulation of genes. RNA binding proteins (RBPs) areinvolved in a diversity of functions including posttranscriptional regulation of genes. They have also been exposed to influence the messenger RNA stability by binding to their identified sequences at the 3â€™ untranslated region (UTR). Specific RBPs and miRNAs uncovered to be key participant in hypoxia signaling which is present in cancer cells, have been shown to involve in the outcome of the cell and drive towards tumor aggressiveness. Since both RBPs and miRNAs have been shown to be overstated by hypoxia and additionally significant since the site of battle of both players are the same (3â€™UTR of mRNA), we suggests that they might have role in tandem or be occupied in each otherâ€™s regulation. Stem loop qRT-PCR was used to check the expression levels of these target miRNAs and the corresponding RBPs in cancer cell lines, namely U87MG (Glioblastoma) and MCF7 (Breast cancer) under hypoxic and normoxic conditions. Transient over expression of the aforesaid miRNAs in the two cancer cell lines was examined using qRT-PCR to see the regulatory effects of these microRNAs on the corresponding target RBPs. Taken together, our results advocate that there could possibly be communication between the miRNA-RBP pairs that we had chosen and assessing the possibility as therapeutic agents for treatment of various cancers will depend upon suitable animal model.

Genetic parameters and (co)variance components were estimated for 305 days milk yield (305DMY), total milk yield (TMY), lactation length (LL) and peak yield (PY) in an organized herd of Jersey crossbred cattle. Restricted maximum likelihood (REML) fitting an animal model and ignoring or including maternal genetic or permanent environmental effects was used for carrying out analyses. Six different animal models were fitted for all traits. The best model was chosen after testing the improvement of log-likelihood values. Direct heritability estimates were 0.55, 0.50, 0.25 and 0.41 for 305DMY, TMY, LL and PY, respectively. Maternal genetic effects contributed 9 and 17% of the total variance for 305DMY and PY, respectively. Results suggest that maternal additive effect was important for 305 days milk yield and peak yield whereas permanent environmental maternal effects did not contribute to the total phenotypic variance of the considered traits in our study. Moderate to high direct heritability estimates varying from 0.25 to 0.55 for all considered lactation traits in this study suggests that there is adequate scope of improvement for these traits through selection under the prevailing management conditions. Further, for 305 days milk yield and peak yield maternal heritability was found to be imperative indicating that for improving these traits through selection both direct additive as well as maternal genetic effect must be taken into consideration.

Classical swine fever (CSF) also known as 'hog choleraâ' is an important viral disease of pigs in India with serious economic concern due to morbidity and mortality, and affects a vast section of the pig population in India. In present study, a structured sampling design was adopted, which covered the major regions of the Mizoram, to ascertain the economic losses due to CSF in pigs. Available estimates of the economic losses of Mizoram due to CSF are based on single values of various epidemiological and economic parameters. Overall annual morbidity, mortality and case fatality rates of CSF in Mizoram were 8.35, 5.07 and 60.70% respectively. The expected annual economic loss due to CSF in pigs in Mizoram was ` 16,69,34,465. Losses due to mortalities contributed the most to the total economic loss caused by CSF in pigs, followed by loss in body weight. This study revealed significant losses due to the incidence of CSF in pigs of Mizoram.

The objective of study was to evaluate the productive response of crossbred cows grazing on Brachiaria decumbens pasture to supplementation with an experimental concentrates (CEXP) with or without addition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC). Four milking Brown Swiss Ã— Zebu cows were utilized 4Ã—4 Latin square design. Treatments were T1= 3 kg of CEXP; T2= 2 kg of CEXP; T3= 2 kg of CEXP + 10 g of SC; and T4= 3 kg of commercial concentrate as control treatment. CEXP was 63% ground maize, 25% canola meal, 10% molasses and 2% urea. All cows received 3 kg of maize silage plus free access to grazing Brachiaria decumbens. Experimental periods consisted of 21 days each. Chemical analysis was performed on Brachiaria decumbens grass, maize silage and the concentrate supplements. Variables evaluated were milk yield, protein and fat content in milk, live weight and body condition score (BCS). Mean milk yield was 6.6 kg/cow/day, with no differences among treatments, nor there were differences in live weight or BCS. However, significant differences were found in protein and fat in milk, with lower values for these components in T2 and T3 than in T1 and T4. The addition of different levels of inclusion had no effect on milk yield, live weight and body condition, as well as fat and protein in milk.

The present study was carried out to investigate the significance of Badri Cattle in rural household of Uttarakhand state of India. A total of 120 respondents, 60 each from Pauri Garhwal and Almora district were randomly selected for the study and data were collected using semi-structured interview schedule. The results revealed that majority of respondents (71.7%) had low level of income generation and consume less quantity of milk obtained from Badri cattle. The average annual income earned through Badri cattle was ` 13054/household, which contributed 19.9% to gross annual income. Average milk consumed and sold was 1.7 and 1.2 litres/day/household, respectively with average fat, protein and calcium contribution of 70 g, 55 g and 2000 mg, respectively. The results revealed that Badri cattle generated 91.2â€“136.9 mandays for 59.2% of household followed by 136.9â€“182.5 man days for 37.5% of household and 182.5â€“228.1 mandays for 3.3% of respondents annually with an average of 136.9 mandays/ annum. Majority of respondents (83.3%) had low level of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) production followed by medium (11.7%) and high (5%) levels of FYM production. The study showed that the average FYM production was 4.8 tonnes per annum with NPK production of 38.3, 19.1 and 76.6 kg/annum, respectively. The results also revealed that 20.8% of the respondents perceived Badri cattle as a security during uncertainties, 58.3% of respondents consider keeping Badri cattle a status symbol and cent percent of the respondents consider that Badri cattle has religious importance. Most preferred reason for rearing of Badri cattle by majority of respondents (94.2%) was fulfillment of need for milk and milk products followed by manure utilization (68.3%) and draught power (10%). The overall contribution of Badri cattle in the livelihood generation was very low and therefore, needs to be enhanced by improving the production performance of cattle and agriculture practices, marketing and value addition facilities.

Published: December 2022

Banni grasslands in Gujarat are home to migratory pastoralists (Maldharis) for more than 500 years. Maldharis are landless and dependent on livestock for their livelihood. The study was conducted to measure the long-term growth and instability of different livestock species in Banni grasslands from 1977 to 2012. Pastoralists (280) were personally interviewed during 2015 to 2017 to prioritize the factors affecting trends in livestock population using Garrett ranking technique. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in population was highest for Banni buffaloes (5.89%) followed by Kankrej cattle (1.78%) and it was negative for goat (-0.29%) and sheep (â€“0.28%) population. Cuddy Della Valle Instability Index was very high for goat (89%) and sheep population (78%) whereas it was low for buffaloes (31%) and cattle (23%). The severity and duration of drought significantly affected the decline in population of goat and sheep. However, the shift in population of buffaloes and cattle was affected by complex of technological and policy factors. Decline in demand of Kankrej bullocks for agriculture use, low milk productivity of cows, and detrimental impact of regular feeding on Prosopis juliflora pods (weakening and dislocation of jaws and gradual death of cows) led to significant increase in population of Banni buffaloes when compared to Kankrej cattle. The population growth rate of Banni buffaloes (457%) was six times higher than the Kankrej cows (70%) from 1977 to 2012. This trend is most likely to continue in the following years as the migratory pastoralism is being gradually replaced by semi-migratory and sedentary pastoralism and establishment of organized dairy industry. Establishment of dairy units/Milk Collection Centres and improved road connectivity of villages in Banni have further facilitated in promotion of Banni buffalo based pastoralism as the primary source of livelihood. Composition of different livestock species in 2012 (Buffaloes: 72%, Cattle: 16%, Goat: 7% and Sheep: 6%) indicated the dominance of Banni buffalo both in terms of number and contribution to livelihood of pastoralists and overall economy of Banni grasslands.
