Antimicrobial peptides, their significance and challenges in veterinary medicine
Authors: Sekhavati Mohammad Hadi
Published: October 2024

Today, many developed countries have banned the use of antibiotics in the farm animal industry due to the problem of antibiotic resistance and its consequences on human health (1). This limitation has encouraged scientists to introduce safe and effective alternatives to antibiotics. Among these candidates, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), due to their broad spectrum activities against a wide range of pathogens, their immune-modulatory activities, and the inability of pathogens to resist them, are attractive to scientists (2). AMPs are short-chain peptides with a length of 10 to 50 amino acids with a positive charge, amphipathic properties, and unique tertiary structures. They are the first protective barrier in the animal's innate immune system (3). Many studies have shown that AMPs have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiparasitic properties and anticancer and immune modulatory effects both in vitro and in vivo (3).

Published: October 2024

Esta investigación tuvo por finalidad determinar los efectos de un extracto hidroalcohólico de hojas de frutilla (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) en la germinación y el crecimiento de plantas de lechuga (Lactuca sativa L.) var. crispa. El extracto hidroalcohólico de frutilla (EHF) se obtuvo a partir de hojas recolectadas al final del ciclo del cultivo. Se evaluaron los efectos de cuatro concentraciones del EHF sobre la germinación y el crecimiento de plantas de lechuga en condiciones controladas y de campo. La mayor concentración ensayada del EHF (100 mgPF/mL) tuvo efecto inhibitorio en el porcentaje de semillas germinadas y la longitud de la radícula, mientras que el resto de las concentraciones (10, 1 y 0,1 mgPF/mL) aceleraron la germinación y elongación de la radícula con respecto al tratamiento control. Las plantas tratadas con las tres concentraciones más bajas del EHF presentaron valores medios superiores en peso fresco, peso seco, longitud de parte área y radicular con respecto al tratamiento control. Estos resultados demuestran que el EHF induce en la lechuga un estímulo que, en dependencia de la concentración, inhibe o estimula el crecimiento por lo que podría ser potencialmente utilizado para diferentes objetivos dentro de un esquema de producción orgánica.

Published: October 2024

El uso de brasinoesteroides está siendo cada vez más estudiado, debido a sus efectos en las plantas como promotor de crecimiento e inductor de la defensa. En este trabajo se evaluó y caracterizó el efecto protector de un brasinoesteroide natural (EP24) y uno sintético (BB16) en combinación con la cepa REC3 de Azospirillum argentinense, en plantas de frutilla expuestas a estrés salino. Las plantas tratadas exhibieron un mejor estado fisiológico con respecto a las plantas control. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que plantas de frutilla tratadas solo con BB16 presentaron valores mayores de peso fresco, peso seco, diámetro de corona, superficie radicular, área foliar, contenido relativo de agua en foliolos e índice de verdor al cabo de 40 días de estrés, en comparación con plantas control, sometidas a estrés, pero no tratadas. En cambio, combinando BB16 con REC3 sólo se apreciaron mejoras significativas con respecto al control en el contenido relativo de agua y en la longitud, peso seco y superficie radicular. Por su parte, la aplicación de EP24 dio lugar a una menor disminución del índice de verdor en relación a plantas control, mientras que al combinarse con REC3 se observaron aumentos significativos en otros parámetros: peso fresco y seco de raíz, peso fresco aéreo, superficie radicular y contenido relativo de agua. Con estos resultados podemos concluir que la combinación con A. argentinense REC3 resultó benéfica en el caso de EP24, no así con BB16, sugiriendo que la estructura de cada brasinoesteroide influye fuertemente en el comportamiento observado en las plantas.

Published: October 2024

La extracción de ADN a partir de semillas presenta el desafío de evitar la coextracción de inhibidores de la reacción de PCR, naturalmente presentes en el tejido vegetal. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la eficacia de dos métodos de extracción de ADN en distintas fracciones de semillas de algodón (Gossypium hirsutum) utilizando un kit comercial como control. Se trabajó con tres tipos de semillas, las cuales fueron procesadas y se obtuvieron dos fracciones, una rica en cáscara y fibra (FRF) y la otra fracción rica en endospermo (FRE). Se realizó la extracción de ADN por triplicado mediante los siguientes métodos: precipitación salina con dodecil sulfato de sodio (SDS), precipitación con acetato de potasio (AK) y con kit comercial (KC, control). Se evaluó la concentración, pureza e integridad del ADN utilizando un espectrofotómetro y electroforesis en gel de agarosa. Los resultados sugieren que los métodos SDS y AK generan extracciones con mayor pureza y concentración que el KC; sin embargo, en todos los métodos se observan contaminantes. No se observó degradación en ninguna de las muestras evaluadas. A su vez, se evaluó la actividad de la enzima Taq Polimerasa en la amplificación de fragmentos de ADN mediante PCR. El 100 % de las reacciones amplificaron en las muestras de ADN de la FRF obtenidas mediante SDS, y en ambas fracciones obtenidas por el método KC, sin diferencias en el tipo de semilla. La extracción de ADN con el método SDS sobre FRF de semillas de algodón constituye un método alternativo, más eficiente que el KC utilizado, ya que conduce a la obtención de ADN puro, en elevada concentración y de idéntica eficacia en la amplificación por PCR.

Authors: Yu Qing-Shan , Wang Feng
Published: October 2024

Objective: To detect the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) CROCC Pseudogene 2 (CROCCP2)/miR-5584-5p /Baculoviral IAP Repeat Containing 5 (BIRC5) network in glioma growth. Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was accessed to obtain the gene datasets associated with glioma growth. Bioinformatics techniques was employed to analyze the key network and construct the regulatory network of lncRNA CROCCP2/miR-5584-5p targeting BIRC5. Subsequently, the quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) experiment was conducted to validate the expression levels of LncRNA CROCCP2, miR-5584-5p, and BIRC5 in both glioma tissues and normal brain tissues. Furthermore, we harnessed RNA interference technology to knock down BIRC5 in U251 cells, and flow cytometry was utilized to assess cell apoptosis. Results: LncRNA CROCCP2 is implicated in the binding of miR-5584-5p, and targeting BIRC5. PCR analysis revealed an elevated expression level of CROCCP2 and BIRC5 in glioma tissues, accompanied by a low expression of miR-5584-5p. Moreover, knockdown of BIRC5 results in an induction of apoptosis. Conclusions: LncRNA CROCCP2 could absorb miR-5584-5p targeting BIRC5 to activate cell apoptosis, so as to inhibit glioma development.

Objective: This paper aims to investigate the genetic intersections and molecular biological mechanisms among the principal components of rheumatic arthritis, pain, and Forsythia utilizing bioinformatics and network pharmacology. The study seeks to ascertain the potential utility of Forsythia in the analgesic treatment of rheumatic arthritis, offering valuable insights for future research endeavors. Methods: Initially, the primary components of Fructus Forsythia were identified in the TCMSP database, and the corresponding genes linked to these active constituents were determined. Subsequently, relevant genes associated with "rheumatic arthritis" and "pain" were extracted from the GeneCards database. The intersection genes between Forsythia and rheumatic arthritis/pain were identified through microarray analysis, visualized using a Venn diagram. Further analyses included Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment, KEGG pathway exploration, construction of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, and prediction of hub genes. The hub gene was validated using the GEO database to enhance data reliability and draw conclusive findings. Results: The study identified 108 active components, 1402 genes related to rheumatic arthritis, and 14183 pain-related targets. Through intersection analysis, 37 potential targets of Forsythia for rheumatic arthritis pain management were revealed. The PPI network highlighted Fos, HIF1A, RELA, EGFR, PRKCA, IKBKB, NFKBIA, MAPK8, and VEGFA as key therapeutic targets. Validation using the GEO database confirmed Fos, HIF1A, RELA, and EGFR as crucial targets for treatment. Conclusions: Based on an in-depth analysis of hub gene functionalities, it was observed that the active ingredient forsythin exhibited strong binding activity with the potential target Fos. Additionally, KEGG pathway analysis indicated the involvement of key pathways such as the cancer signaling pathway and tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of rheumatic arthritis. Considering the experimental results and existing literature on the efficacy of Forsythia in rheumatic arthritis treatment, it is concluded that Forsythia shows promise for analgesic therapy in rheumatic arthritis.

Impact Of Global Semiconductor Shortage on The Domestic New Energy Vehicle Supply Chain in Australia And Measures to Mitigate Such Risks in The Future
Authors: Li Binghui
Published: October 2024

Different industries have been affected by the shortage of semiconductors globally, and one of the most affected industries is the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) industry within Australia. Semiconductors play a massive role in NEV features like battery management and power management. These factors include the COVID-19 pandemic, the rise in electronics demand, natural calamities, and most importantly the shortage which has affected NEV production and sales in Australia. This paper discusses the consequences of the lack of supply of such components on the Australian NEV supply chain: They stop production, low inventory levels, financial losses, and slowed innovation. It brings out vulnerability issues including dependence on limited suppliers from Asia and the absence of chip-making factories within North America. Based on the identified threats, the paper outlines the following solutions: supplier diversification, increasing inventory levels, raising supply chain visibility, investing in domestic semiconductor production, incentives for buyers, and sourcing non-semiconductor material technologies. Such measures are strategic and intended to secure an NEV supply chain in Australia that is both sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Zaštita ljudskih prava pred ESLJP1: Pravni realizam na djelu?
Authors: Muharemović Mahir
Published: October 2024

The paper analyzes the extent to which the European Court of Human Rights uses an approach of judicial activism in its case law, i. e. to what extent its judgments reflect elements of legal realism. It starts from the hypothesis that the Court’s practice so far has been largely marked by activism of judges, which is reflected in the teleological and evolutive interpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights. After explaining the basic tenets of legal realism and judicial activism, the presence of activism in the Court’s decisions is analyzed through concrete examples from case law. It is concluded that the Court combines pragmatic elements of legal realism with an effort to strike a balance with the principle of rule of law. Although complete dominance cannot be claimed, it is clear that elements of activism and realism play a significant role in the Court’s reasoning and practice. Keywords: European Court of Human Rights, legal realism, judicial activism, evolutive interpretation, human rights.
Transcendental chaos and the Problem of Human Rights Power and Peace (Shakti and Shanti) shall blend in the hymns the Votary sings For from love comes salvation (mukti) to all earth’s living things
Authors: Umar M. Suheyl
Published: October 2024

What is intellect? Why are our contemporary education and research methodologies not sound enough to impart enlightenment? And how is this lack of character directly connected to the problem of human rights in our age? The author has covered various dimensions of the ongoing crises around the world and has offered substantial suggestions for the resolve. The author argues that no pre-modern age had turned its back on transcendence in the systematic way that characterized modernity. All our human rights are protected within the bounds of intellect and through transcendence ensured. Once we are disconnected from this other form of reality that is always superior to this mundane reality, we lose our human disposition and our human rights as well. Now, all of these rights are on well preserved on paper, but in our real life they are non-existent. Keywords: Intellect, the Hindu and the Muslim conception of God, Devata, Dharma, Shakti, Shanti, Mukti, personal location in the cosmic event, age of eclipse of transcendence.
Language and Human Rights – Paradigm Shift
Authors: Krishna Rukmini
Published: October 2024

Language is a geographical, religious and cultural representation of a person on a global stage. The right to speak and write a language that one inherits and prefers to adopt as a means of communication is guaranteed by UN resolutions but very often this basic right of ethnic minorities is denied by the tyrannical majorities. When we consider the social mobilization of various groups within this framework we see that religion as a social resource equates with language. Religious affiliation assigned to a language is one among many other factors which lead people to commit atrocities against the marginalized social groups. In such cases, children are the biggest victims of all. Language is directly related to the idea of basic education as well. Linguistic victimization has affects schooling in many parts of the world. Additional problems are caused by the constant wars fought around the world in our age. War zones keep on emerging to displace people who then become victims of linguistic and economic harassment in the land of asylums. Those trapped in the war zones, like people currently in Ukraine and in Gaza, see total destruction of their educational institutions and consequently the destruction of their basic rights to life, property, geographical territory, culture and language. Our languages are social contexts of our cultural and economic viability. Cultural and economic forces contribute to language maintenance and also define its lexical shifts. Our education policies have largely failed because we prefer to counter the prevailing social forces and remain reluctant to assimilate them into our mainstream school curricula. Without the understanding of the linguistic shifts which are in turn political, as well as the cultural shifts, we cannot hope for peace in our war zones. Without peace there are no human rights. Keywords: UN Resolution, nationism, linguistic profiles, war zones, ethnic nationalism, Catalan linguistic policy, Basque Provinces, South Asia, Bangladesh.

The Rice Tariffication Law, enacted in the Philippines in 2019, aimed to reduce rice prices for consumers while supporting rice growers through various assistance measures. This study assessed the awareness and implications of the Rice Tariffication Law (Republic Act 11203) among irrigated rice farmers in selected barangays of Dipolog City, Philippines. Interviews with 82 farmers revealed that although 71% were aware of the law, their understanding of its objectives (71%) and key provisions (70%-77%) was limited. Nevertheless, all participants received government assistance in the form of farm mechanization, fertilizers, financial aid, and seeds. Farmers unanimously acknowledged both the positive and negative effects of the law. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in the average income per hectare of rice farmers before and after the law's implementation. The study recommends educational initiatives, particularly through institutions like Jose Rizal Memorial State University, to enhance farmers' understanding and dissemination of the law's objectives and key provisions.

This study examines the impact of village tourism development on sustainable agrotourism and community welfare in Tapanuli Utara Regency, Indonesia. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach that combines household surveys and structural equation modeling (SEM), data were collected from 203 respondents across 22 villages to evaluate the relationships among infrastructure development, local economic benefits, community participation, rural tourism products, sustainable agrotourism, and community welfare. The results indicate that village tourism development significantly and directly enhances both sustainable agrotourism and community welfare, with infrastructure and local economic benefits being the most influential factors. In contrast, community participation and rural tourism products did not show significant individual effects, suggesting that without proper support, training, and resource allocation, these elements may not effectively contribute to sustainable agrotourism. Moreover, sustainable agrotourism was found to significantly mediate the relationship between tourism development and community welfare, highlighting its role as a catalyst for long-term socio-economic improvement. The study underscores the necessity for integrated development strategies that prioritize infrastructure enhancement and local economic engagement while fostering sustainable agricultural practices within tourism. Limitations of the study include its regional focus, which may affect the generalizability of the findings, and the need for further research to explore effective mechanisms for boosting community participation and developing rural tourism products. These insights offer valuable guidance for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to promote sustainable rural tourism and enhance community welfare in similar contexts.

The purpose of this article is to contribute new learning concepts about critical thinking in social sciences, especially economics, as well as the belief that social character is not developed in Indonesian schools. We investigated how primary school teachers self-reported applying what they had learned about economics to their daily social views. With the aid of educational media, this experimental study aimed to ascertain the extent to which the STEAM method influences the meaning of studying economics from early in life. According to the findings, very few pupils comprehend how economics affects both the environment and them in day-to-day living. Not only did we discover that the STEAM technique had a significant effect on pupils' thinking processes. However, they also discover the impact of their characters. There are significant differences in the level of understanding of learning, one of which is influenced by local wisdom. The implications of these findings for sharpening primary school pupils' comprehension of social science courses are explored. We suggest that social science learning be implemented using many of the latest approaches. Focusing on improving character based on local culture is not enough to use the traditional approach that has been implemented so far.

The article identifies the barriers that hinder the implementation of strategic planning and the relationship with the level of formality in the preparation of strategic plans of SMEs in Quito. It focuses on the manufacturing sector and its different sub-sectors, including the manufacture of food products, textiles, clothing, as well as chemical, pharmaceutical, medicinal, and botanical substances for pharmaceutical use, in addition to rubber and plastic products. The existing literature reviewed on strategic planning and tools to address the process characterizes the small and medium-sized manufacturing sector as the object of research. The subsequent field study shows the results achieved by the companies with planning and the existence or not of barriers to strategic implementation. The most common barriers have been identified in relation to factors such as resources, culture, lack of technological support, among others. Once the barriers have been identified, they are linked to the use of planning tools to determine the type of existing relationship. There is a moderate correlation between the level of complexity and the level of execution of the strategic plan. The research results will enable further research on the importance of the use of management tools in SMEs.
