Direct-Fed Microbials for Dairy Calves: Gut Microbial Diversity and Host Health
Authors: Nikkhah Akbar , Alimirzaei Masoud
Published: November 2022

Direct-fed microbial (DFM) might provide young calves with healthy supplements to promote gut microbial diversity and host health if calves are appropriately managed. The possible usefulness of DFM, however, should not be overstated. The main objective of this review article was to investigate whether DFM is practically workable in preventing digestive tract disorders, namely diarrhea. Another objective was to delineate the possible effectiveness of such products in promoting calf health and performance. Protecting newborn calves against infectious diseases and improving their health and growth in early life is closely related to herd economics and sustainability. Diarrhea is the most prevalent contagious disease-causing calf morbidity and mortality worldwide. Supplementing dairy calf diets (milk or starter) with beneficial microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast has been an attempt to improve the gut microbial ecosystem and optimize nutrient assimilation. However, infectious diarrhea is still a problem in many dairy and beef farms. Since diarrhea has a multifactorial nature, it seems that the possible efficacy of DFM depends on the environmental and management conditions in which the calves are raised. The rearing system (individual vs. group housing), diet, environmental microbial load, and other management factors are involved in the incidence of diarrhea. Therefore, probiotic products may interact with such factors, thus influencing their effectiveness and likely causing inconsistencies concerning probiotics' usefulness in commercial dairy farms. Thus, animal responses to dietary DFM supplementation and their usefulness are practically dependent on management conditions.

Authors: Pande Swati , Bhandari R.
Published: November 2022

Chlorophorus strobilicola Champ., is an important insect belonging to order Coleoptera, family Cerambycidae and group Clytini. The pest has four generations annually. The 4th generation is over wintered. Larval stage is the most destructive stage. The larva while developing, feeds on the central axis and also bores through the seeds. Thus, posing danger to natural regeneration, seed quantity and quality. As the larval and pupal developments occur inside the cone, it is less exposed to natural enemies. Only two natural enemies (1 larval parasitoid and 1 predator) were recorded.

O cobre (Cu) é um metal pesado que nas doses adequadas é essencial para as plantas, mas em doses elevadas potencialmente pode ser tóxico às espécies agrícolas. Contudo, a utilização de bactérias fixadoras de nitrogênio pode ser uma alternativa para o cultivo de soja em área contaminado com cobre. A tolerância ao excesso de Cu pelas raízes se dá com a imobilização do Cu na parede celular, exclusão ou restrição da absorção, compartimentalização no vacúolo com complexos solúveis. Objetivou-se neste trabalho determinar a influência do uso de bactérias fixadoras no desenvolvimento, resposta fisiológica e na bioacumulação de cobre na soja cultivada em solo contaminado. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado em arranjo fatorial 7 x 2, sendo, sete doses de cobre (0, 80, 160, 240, 320, 400 e 480 mg de cobre kg -1 de solo), duas inoculações (com Bradyrhizobium japonicum e sem inoculação - testemunha), com 8 repetições. Avaliou-se a altura da parte aérea, diâmetro do colo, número de grãos por planta, massa seca da parte aérea e sistema radicular, área foliar, área superficial específica de raízes, teores de cobre na parte aérea, radicular e grãos, índice de translocação e tolerância, fator de bioconcentração, coeficiente de bioacumulação, parâmetros da clorofila, número e massa seca de nódulos. A inoculação com B. japonicum proporciona incrementos nos caracteres fisiológicos, na altura de planta, área superficial específica de raízes e no rendimento de grãos da soja em solo contaminado com cobre. A soja apresenta baixa eficiência em translocar o cobre para parte aérea, porém seu teor no grão inviabiliza sua recomendação de cultivo em solo contaminado com este metal.

Os cafeeiros conilon podem apresentar padrões divergentes para o acúmulo de matéria seca e desenvolvimento de frutos, sejam eles resultantes de fatores genéticos ou ambientais. O objetivo deste estudo foi quantificar o acúmulo de matéria seca em órgãos aéreos e a produtividade do café conilon cultivado em condições de irrigação ou de sequeiro. O experimento foi realizado no Estado da Bahia (Brasil), localizado no Atlântico, ao longo de dois anos de avaliação. Foi utilizado o delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, em parcelas subdivididas, com 14 repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram de dois tipos de cultivo, sendo estes, irrigado e de sequeiro, nas parcelas e o tempo ao longo do ciclo reprodutivo nas sub-parcelas. O crescimento reprodutivo foi avaliado a partir de dez dias após a primeira floração e, em seguida, a cada 28 dias, até a completa maturação dos frutos. O acúmulo de matéria seca nos frutos do café conilon pode ser bem explicado usando modelos sigmoidais; enquanto o número de ramos e o acúmulo de biomassa nas folhas presentes se ajustam a modelos lineares, independentemente do cultivo irrigado ou de sequeiro. A magnitude e intensidade do acúmulo de biomassa, no entanto, é influenciada pelo uso da irrigação, o que provoca ganhos no acúmulo de biomassa por fruto.

Published: November 2022

Introduction:

Orthopaedic surgery residency applicants submit more applications than ever before. While this issue is multifactorial, increased information and transparency regarding residency programs are important. This study aimed to evaluate the completeness and variability of the information that is currently available regarding orthopaedic residency programs on two publicly available databases, the Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database (FREIDA) and the newly created Orthopaedic Residency Information Network (ORIN).

Methods:

Orthopaedic surgery residency programs were identified and evaluated using FREIDA and ORIN on September 11, 2021. Information on the FRIEDA and ORIN databases were evaluated in the following categories: program overview, the residency application, and education information. Univariate statistical analysis was performed on the data.

Results:

Of the 194 programs that participated in the FREIDA database, over 48% failed to include basic program information including resident demographics and key application information including USMLE Step requirements. Of the 141 programs that participated in the ORIN database, most the programs did not report USMLE Step median and cutoff scores and clerkship grades. Depending on the database and type of information, factors including the program's National Institutes of Health funding, reputation, size, and type were associated with the availability of information.

Conclusion:

This study showed that while most orthopaedic surgery residency programs participate in FREIDA and ORIN, the information included was highly variable and incomplete for nearly all programs. Improving the completeness of information in these databases has the potential to allow students to make more informed application decisions.

Published: November 2022

Background: Infected food handlers act as potential sources of food borne illnesses. Consequences of such outbreaks in healthcare settings are more severe affecting their vulnerable sick patients. We aimed to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites, Salmonella and Shigella species, and associated risk factors in our hospital food handlers in this cross-sectional study.
Materials and Methods: Data on sociodemographic details, past medical illness, hygiene awareness practices, occupational prophylaxis undertaken were collected from 110 food handlers in hospital kitchen area. Their stool samples were collected for microbiological analyses of common intestinal parasites using saline and Lugol’s iodine wet mount preparations. Stool samples were inoculated onto Selenite F broth and subcultured onto Nutrient agar, MacConkey’s agar, Salmonella Shigella agar for isolation of Salmonella, Shigella species. Chi-square test and Odds ratio were used to determine risk factors in infected food handlers.
Results: Only 4 (3.6%) food handlers were positive for intestinal parasites of Entamoeba histolytica (1.8%), Ascaris lumbricoides (0.9%) and Giardia lamblia (0.9%). None had Salmonella or Shigella species isolated from stool culture. All infected food handlers were aged over 50 years. Noncompliance to hand hygiene standards and illiteracy rates raised above 50 years.
Conclusion: The negligible prevalence of intestinal parasites, Salmonella and Shigella species in food handlers testify our efficient hospital infection control program. Age over 50 years, uneducated and incompetent in hand hygiene practices were predominant risk factors for IPI. Scrupulous occupational health screening and trainings targeting high risk food handlers above 50 years of age, could prevent enteric pathogen spread in healthcare settings.

Prevalence of normal weight obesity in young adults of Western Uttar Pradesh – A community-based study
Authors: Tyagi Taniya , Singh Kiran , Agrawal Archana , Negi Seema , Tyagi Ruchi
Published: November 2022

Background: Obesity is described as a build-up of abnormal or excessive fat that risks life. A body mass index (BMI) is a screening tool for overweight and obesity. For a long time, BMI has been used as a marker to measure obesity. However, a significant limitation of using BMI is its failure to differentiate between a high body fat content and preserved or increased lean mass, especially in patients or subjects with a BMI <30 kg/m2. Normal weight obese (NWO) is such individuals who have high fat content but a normal BMI. To identify such individuals and to save them from morbidity associated with obesity, this study was carried out.

Aims and Objectives: The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of NWO in healthy young adults (aged between 18 and 30 years) and to suggest the methods of primary prevention for obesity.

Materials and Methods: In this observational cross-sectional study, the 324 subjects were selected randomly from the residents, students, and employees of Swami Vivekananda Subharti University. Subjects were chosen according to the study’s inclusion and exclusion criteria and also, based on the self-structure questionnaire. A general and systemic examination was carried out. The body composition of these subjects was done by bioelectric impedance analyzer BODY STAT QUAD SCAN 4000. Data were analysis using R-software (1.25 version), and unpaired t-test was applied. P < 0.05 was taken as significant in this study.

Results: The prevalence of NWO in males was found to be 24.6% and females to be 13.4%. The body composition parameters of NWO and NWNO differed significantly.

Conclusion: The increase rate of NWO is reason for concern and routine screening of body composition parameters should be done at health setups to identify that these NWO individuals and timely interventions can be made.
The presence of adhesion factors NOX, α-enolase, TrmFO, P27, and VpmaX in Mycoplasma bovis wild isolates in Japan
Authors: Shitamori Fumitaka , Uemura Ryoko , Kanda Takuya , Sueyoshi Masuo
Published: November 2022

Background: Mycoplasma bovis causes various diseases such as bronchopneumonia, otitis media, arthritis, and mastitis in cattle. M. bovis is often isolated from the deep pharynges of healthy cattle and is generally considered not to cause clinical symptoms while in the upper respiratory tract. In mycoplasma infections, adhesion to the host cells is a crucial step. In recent years, five new adhesins, NOX, α-enolase, TrmFO, P27, and VpmaX, have been reported in M. bovis strains from pneumonia cases. However, the presence of these adhesins in wild isolates has not been established.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the presence of these adhesin genes in wild isolates isolated from cattle nasal cavities and lesion sites (pneumonia, otitis media, arthritis, and mastitis) in various regions in Japan and clarify the relationship between adhesion and the symptoms caused by M. bovis infection.
Methods: A total of 141 M. bovis wild isolates isolated from nasal cavities (healthy or sick cattle), lungs with pneumonia, ears with otitis media, joint fluids of arthritic animals, and milk of mastitic animals. M. bovis type strain PG45 was also used. Specific polymerase chain reaction reactions were performed to detect nox, α-enolase, trmFO, P27, and vpmaX, which are adhesins of M. bovis.

Results: This study reports 139 M. bovis wild isolates were positive for nox, α-enolase, trmFO, P27, and vpmaX, while two isolates each lacked α-enolase or P27 genes. M. bovis PG45 also had all five adherens genes.

Conclusion: Almost all M. bovis wild isolates possessed all nox, α-enolase, trmFO, P27, and vpmaX genes regardless of the lesion site or region of origin. This means no relationship was found between the presence of the five adhesins and lesion sites in M. bovis and M. bovis isolated from the nasal cavities of asymptomatic cattle have the same numbers and types of adhesins as isolates from symptomatic lesion sites (pneumonia, otitis media, arthritis, and mastitis). This suggests that not only M. bovis isolates from pulmonary lesions, but also M. bovis existing in the nasal cavity has the potential to causes symptoms in the host.
African swine fever detection and transmission estimates using homogeneous versus heterogeneous model formulation in stochastic simulations within pig premises

Published: November 2022

Background: African swine fever (ASF) is one of the most important foreign animal diseases to the U.S. swine industry. Stakeholders in the swine production sector are on high alert as they witness the devastation of ongoing outbreaks in some of its most important trade partner countries. Efforts to improve preparedness for ASF outbreak management are proceeding in earnest and mathematical modeling is an integral part of these efforts.
Aim: This study aimed to assess the impact on within-herd transmission dynamics of African swine fever (ASF) when the models used to simulate transmission assume there is homogeneous mixing of animals within a barn.
Methods: Barn-level heterogeneity was explicitly captured using a stochastic, individual pig-based, heterogeneous transmission model that considers three types of infection transmission, 1) within-pen via nose-to-nose contact; 2) between-pen via nose-to-nose contact with pigs in adjacent pens; and 3) both between- and within-pen via distance independent mechanisms (e.g., via fomites). Predictions were compared between the heterogeneous and the homogeneous Gillespie models.
Results: Results showed that the predicted mean number of infectious pigs at specific time points differed greatly between the homogeneous and heterogeneous models for scenarios with low levels of between pen contacts via distance independent pathways and the differences between the two model predictions were more pronounced for the slow contact rate scenario. The heterogeneous transmission model results also showed that it may take significantly longer to detect ASF, particularly in large barns when transmission predominantly occurs via nose-to-nose contact between pigs in adjacent pens.
Conclusion: The findings emphasize the need for completing preliminary explorations when working with homogeneous mixing models to ascertain their suitability to predict disease outcomes.

Authors: Thomson Pamela , Pareja Josefina , ez Andrea , ez Rodrigo , Castro Rodrigo
Published: November 2022

Background: Culture-independent techniques have made it possible to expand the knowledge about the composition of bacterial communities present in the healthy uterus and their role in health and disease, mainly in humans. However, in animals like mares, there is a dearth of information regarding this area.
Aim: To narrow this knowledge gap, the objective of this study was to identify and characterize the composition and function for the uterine microbiome of a group of Chilean purebred mares (CPM), an equine breed with the oldest genealogical record in South America and an economical important reproductive industry.
Methods: From uterine biopsy samples obtained during estrus, DNA extraction and targeted sequencing was performed to investigate the bacterial diversity and its probable metabolic function.
Results: CPM biopsy samples were characterized by having a varied microbial composition, where the four most relatively abundant phyla were Proteobacteria (69.6%), Firmicutes (21.1%), Bacteroidetes (7.8%), and Actinobacteria (1.06%); which made up 99.6% of the total identified phyla. In contrast, Actinobacteria and Fusobacteria were the phyla not identified in all samples. Of a total of 59 genera identified across all samples, Staphylococcus was the most abundant genus with an average relative abundance of 18.88%, followed by Pseudomonas (17.9%), Escherichia/Shigella (10.42%), and Klebsiella (9.92%).
Conclusion: These findings contribute to the knowledge of microbes presence in the uterus, while future studies are required to demonstrate the role of these microorganisms in health and disease.

Published: November 2022

Online gaming as popular digital entertainment is well-received by people worldwide, including university students.  Consequently, addiction to online gaming is worrying, and this issue has received significant attention.  We collected and analysed primary data to reveal the factors relating to online gaming addiction.  We performed a bivariate correlation test to examine the relationship between online games addictions with the characteristics of depression, loneliness, motivation for escapism and motivation for achievement on the 118 responses that we collected from online questionnaires.  We also calculated Cohen's effect size, f2, for each path.  The results show that those identified factors positively correlate with online game addiction with a large effect size.
GIS-based decision support systems to minimise soil impacts in logging operations
Authors: Mohtashami Sima
Published: November 2022

Mechanised logging operations can leave negative impacts, like ruts, on forest soils. To avoid this, forestry planners and machine operators need decision support systems that can estimate soil trafficability and help to minimise soil impacts. The main objective of this thesis was to evaluate whether or how different data, stored in a geographic information system (GIS), can contribute to improved estimation of soil trafficability. Requirements for implementation of soil trafficability maps in forestry GIS applications were also described. A soil trafficability map, based on several GIS data using multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), was proposed in Paper I. Availability and implementation of soil trafficability maps, mainly depth-to-water (DTW) maps, in some European countries, was reviewed in Paper II. Effect of DTW map resolutions to predict soil moisture was evaluated in Paper IV, and the study showed that a spatial resolution of 1–2 m was sufficient. Risk for rutting was analysed in relation to field-measured and GIS data in Papers III, V and VI. GIS data included digital elevation models, DTW maps, hydrological data, soil type, and clay content maps. The results showed that planning forwarder trails and evaluating different alternatives can be improved by using a soil trafficability map. GIS data of high quality is required to achieve acceptable results. Easy or free access to soil trafficability maps facilitate their application in forestry operations. DTW maps, together with other data, can be used to estimate risk for rutting. Clay content maps and hydrological data, at current resolution, need further development but showed potential to predict risk for rutting. More studies are required to estimate temporal and spatial variability of soil trafficability maps. In conclusion, GIS-based decision support systems should be used for planning of logging operations to minimise risk for rutting.

Published: November 2022

As a country with the largest Muslim community in the world, the existence of Religious Courts is quite important as a step for the Islamic community to obtain justice. This research then aims to see how the position, authority and legal sources of the Religious Courts are in becoming Islamic law enforcers in Indonesia. This research is qualitative research using data from previous studies. The results of this study found that the source of law owned by the Religious Courts comes from material sources of law, such as Islamic law, and formal sources of law originating from statutes. Then, the Religious Courts have the ability to evaluate, decide, and resolve a variety of disputes at the initial level involving Muslims. The authority of the Religious Court itself is comprised of both relative and absolute authority.

The initial stages of village financial management are the planning, budgeting, administration, reporting, and accountability stages. Development planning for the next one year is compiled in the Village Development Work Plan (RKPDesa) document. Each village is required to prepare the RKPDesa as a form of development planning to be carried out and as the basis for the preparation of the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBDesa). Once the RKPDesa document is important and the activity is carried out every year, it is necessary to understand and know the stages of preparing the RKPDesa according to government regulations for the parties involved. Village development planning is contained in the Village Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJM-Desa) which is prepared every six years. RKP Desa is an elaboration of the RPJMDes with a period of 1 year which has been determined by village regulations. Of course, the synergy between the BPD as an element of the Implementation of Village Government and the Village Government cannot be separated. This article describes community service activities carried out by providing assistance in the preparation of the RKPDesa to village officials, the Village Representative Body (BPD), community leaders in Popisi Village, North Banggai District, Banggai Laut Regency.
