Published: July 2024

Enteric fever is one of the major causes of death and morbidity around the world, especially in resource limited health care facility. The primary reason for empirical therapy in enteric fever management is a lack of rapid diagnostic testing. To improve typhoid fever diagnosis and treatment, as well as to reduce antibiotic overuse, we attempted to develop a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for rapid detection of enteric fever. We designed and evaluated a LAMP assay that targets the STY2879 gene, which is found only in S. Typhi and encodes for reverse transcriptase protein. LAMP utilises three sets of primers to complete the reaction in 60 minutes at 65°C. The LAMP assay procedure in our study for detecting S. Typhi by targeting the STY2879 gene was rapid and more sensitive than the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method. Among the 107 blood samples that have been tested, the sensitivity and specificity of the assay we obtained were 100% and 87.65% respectively. Also, we demonstrated lower limit of detection (LOD) of target DNA concentration ranging from 10 pg to 5 ng that could be readily detected by a LAMP assay within 60 min. The findings of our study suggest that the LAMP assay is superior to PCR and can be used as a rapid alternative diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of enteric fever in the aspects of specificity and sensitivity. As a result, with some additional enhancements and modifications, this reliable and cost-effective assay can be promptly used to enhance disease management and surveillance.

Objective: The purpose of the study is to observe the metformin associated effects on Vitamin B12 among Type II Diabetes mellitus patients. Methods: An observational study conducted over the period of 12 months on Type II Diabetes mellitus patients who are in the chronic therapy of metformin. The study described about the Vitamin B12 levels among the Type II DM patients which was able to alert the patients who are in the low and border range of Vitamin B12 to prevent the risk of peripheral neuropathic complications. Findings: Totally 102 patients were enrolled as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria, during the study total 61 males (59.8%) and 41 females (40.2%) were enrolled. Among them 12 patients (mean 49.16±S.D10.53) on low level of the Vitamin B12 followed by 16 patients (mean 51.95±S.D7.12) found to above the normal range of the Vitamin B12 followed by 30 (mean 57.53±S.D4.55) patients found to borderline of the Vitamin B12. Conclusion: High doses with chronic therapy of Metformin may alter Vitamin B12 level. Some of the patients had been observed abnormal level of higher value of Vitamin B12. In such Patients’ diet history also had some impact on Vitamin B12. However, the high chances of metformin associated effect on Vitamin B12 with higher doses of metformin with long term therapy. Moreover, age also important fact that the study reveals among gender, male population had higher rate of low level Vitamin B12 than female population. Moreover, Patients age group between 50 and 65(male58 ± 3.58, female 57.16±3.81) were having higher rate of low level Vitamin B12 than other age group. Patients with other comorbid condition also had low level and borderline of Vitamin B12 those who were on long term therapy of metformin. Therefore, our study concluding that chronic therapy of metformin may lead to deficit in serum Vitamin B12 which required regular check on Vitamin B12 among Type 2 DM patients to avoid the risk of Peripheral neuropathy and other complications.

The phylum Mollusca are widely diverse group which are spread across freshwater and marine environment. However, the freshwater mollusc are lesser known. Freshwater mollusc such as snails and bivalves are not only a delicacy in the north-eastern states of India but also has been used in traditional medicine. Till date, huge data are available for the food value and health benefit of marine gastropod and bivalves which has economic importance and has export potential. But the north eastern region of India is not a ware of those marine species which has scientific information. Therefore, need has been arisen to understand the locally available underutilized and underrepresented freshwater mollusc species of Manipur. This study aims to assess the current use of edible freshwater molluscan resources (such as gastropods and bivalves) and the potential for value-adding the molluscan fisheries in Manipur, India. A total number of 1500 mollusc consumer and 31 state government personals were interviewed. The consumer consists of 56.66% female and 43.33% male population. Majority (47.13%) of the respondents belong the annual income group of <Rs. 1 Lakh/ annum (USD 1,200 approx.) and majority (40%) of the respondents have completed their higher secondary education. The three edible varieties of snails that is Brotiacostula (Laitharoi), Cipangopalu dinalecythis (Labuktharoi) and Filopaludina bengalensis (Tharoiningkhabi) are consumed by all the respondents. However, only 97% of the respondents eat freshwater mussel, Lamellidens marginalis locally known as kongreng. The freshwater mollusc has also been reported to use in traditional medicine for chicken pox recovery and strengthening of stomach. Consumers have suggested for value addition potential such as canning and pickling. Most of the respondents from Government Departments indicated there was limited scope for funding new species aquaculture development in Manipur and India at the larger picture. This study also established the fact the freshwater snails and mussels are a delicacy for this region of northeast India. It is very much necessary to establish a sustainable supply through research and development to enhance the livelihood of the shellfish harvester of Manipur, India. Otherwise, continuous harvest from the wild could be a question to the sustainability in the long-term fisheries.

Fifty seven genotypes were evaluated for yield and yield attributing characters at farmers field, Mittachinthavaripalle, Punganur, Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh during Summer, 2023. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design along with three replications. High GCV and PCV were recorded for number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, yield per plant, fruit length, pericarp thickness, fruit width, titrable acidity, plant height and ascorbic acid. This indicates the existence of wider genetic variability, which would be amenable for further selection. Low estimates of genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variations were observed for days to 50% flowering, number of primary branches and lycopene suggesting the narrow range of genetic variability for these traits. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance over mean were observed for plant height, days to 50% flowering, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, fruit length, fruit width, pericarp thickness, total soluble solids, lycopene, ascorbic acid, titrable acidity and yield per plant which shown high level of genetic advance indicating opportunity for better selection response. The results of genetic parameters from the present study may helpful to the plant breeder in selection of elite genotypes from diverse genetic populations.

Published: July 2024

Garcinia gummi-gutta is an abundant wild tree species found in Western Ghat of India with vast ethnobotanical potential. Being underutilized and little reports on its utility in the literatures, especially from the study area. An effort was made to document the ethnobotanical knowledge of this species. The study was conducted at Uttara Kannada district, Karnataka – a part of central Western Ghat, India. Traditional knowledge of twenty-one randomly selected rural respondents was collected using semi-structured open-ended questionnaire, the data obtained was analysed and visualized into charts and graphs. Study revealed the use of G. gummi-gutta fruit rind and seed butter for both culinary and medicinal purposes, Fruit rind is used in preparation of non-vegetarian curries (fish curries etc.) and preparation of pickles. Seed butter is used in frying of edibles, lighting oil in lanterns in some cases and also used as moisturizer, treating cracks, rashes, burn wounds, sunstroke, dehydration and amashanke etc. It is also observed that 71.42 per cent of people don’t use rind for their household use. None of them found to produce the seed butter for the commercial purposes although 85.71 per cent people are aware of the process of butter extraction. The underutilized tree species (G. gummi-gutta) has many ethnobotanical benefits. Such uses can be commercialized, so that reliance on similar market alternatives can be minimized for example, the seed rich with seed oil can be used as potential feedstock in bio-diesel production and it in turn may help earn additional income for the rural communities and also help fight climate change by minimising the reliance on fossil fuels etc.

Authors: Swapna P. , Lakshmi V. V.
Published: July 2024

The present-day agricultural practices rely on using excess of chemical fertilizers and pesticides which are detrimental to the ecosystem as well as farmers health. An alternative strategy was being explored to develop sources of organic manure that can be prepared in short time and can be used effectively for sustainable crop production. The organic manure improvised by microbial techniques is found to improve the soil fertility, organic matter input to the soil, prevent the soil erosion, preserve water quantity in soil, protect environment as well as soil health etc. As effective flower degradation was achieved in 2-3 days by the novel Bacillus isolates (B. cereus, B. safeness and B. subtilis), the organic manure preparation out of FDP (Flower Degraded Product) is also achieved in very short span of time. The macro and micronutrient analysis were found to be maximum in 30% and 40% FDP amended soils compared with the control amendments.

Published: July 2024

Rice is an important staple meal for millions of people in Asia. However, severe weed infestation might cause significant yield loss. This study investigated weed composition in rice based ecosystem during kharif season 2021. The diversity of weed species in the fields were evaluated by using 0.25 cm2 quadrate at randomly in ten different locations in each village, and the dominance, density, frequency and their related values were calculated. Among the weed species observed, the highest relative dominance, relative density, relative frequency and importance value index was observed with Cyperus rotundus which was followed by Leptochloa chinensis and Cyperus difformis in all the observed villages of rice fields. From the study, it could be concluded that special attention to manage Cyperus rotundus and other weed species are required using better weed management measures to reduce the yield losses in rice.

Green peas, scientifically known as Pisum sativum. A legume crop primarily grown for their edible seeds. This study’s objective is to assess the germination percentage and protein content in germinated green pea seeds. The seeds were procured from a local market and underwent surface sterilization with a 0.3% hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) solution for twenty minutes. Subsequently, they were placed in petri plates lined with two layers of filter paper. In each petri dish, 10 ml of lead nitrate at various concentrations (0, 100, 500, 1000 ppm) was added. Each treatment, including the control group, was replicated three times. All petri dishes were placed under diffused light at room temperature (28±2 °C). Following immediate germination, a protein estimation test was conducted using the biurette method. The study revealed, reduced germination percentage at increasing concentrations of lead nitrate. The protein content initially raised in 100 ppm compared to control and at 500 and 1000 ppm the protein content is gradually reduced. This investigation demonstrates that an increased concentration of Pb(NO3 )2 has a detrimental impact on green pea plants.

Manual digging of the turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizome is labour intensive due ploughing of the land in which the clumps are carefully lifted with spade and gathered by hand picking. In view of this a tractor operated digger was developed and performance was evaluated at three level of speed (2.06, 2.9, 4.18 km/ h) and blade angle (15o, 20o , 25o) of digger. The performance parameters viz. Exposed crop (%), Undug crop (%), Damage crop (%), Digging efficiency (%) and field capacity was evaluated at different levels of speed and blade angle. The saving in labour and cost of digging the turmeric crop was found to be 67.08 % and 65.43%, respectively. The field capacity of the developed digger was 0.133 ha/h.

Antheraea assamensis is commercially exploited for extraction of “muga” silk. A survey made in three different muga cultivating areas of Jorhat district of Assam reveals that the breeding stock of silk worms is identified mainly based on body weight and feeding habit. To find the level of genetic diversity within the germplasm collected based on these characters, a study was designed using RAPD markers. Pearson’s correlation analysis showed that there exists a significant correlation between weight, feeding habit and cocoon weight of the worms. Based on these results, two groups of genotypes, “best” and “poor” were selected and a molecular diversity analysis was performed between the groups. Calculated distance matrix showed that selection of genotypes based on limited characters might lower genetic diversity within the collection. Therefore, addition of other selection criteria is necessary for identification of parental genotypes with wide genetic base.
Study on Heavy Metals (As, Cr, Cd & Pb) and its Human Health Risk Assessment in Commercially Important Finfishes and Shell Fishes Collected from Chennai Coast, India

Published: July 2024

Fish, shrimp, crab, and mollusks are significant providers of proteins, vitamins, minerals, polyunsaturated fats and polysaccharides and form the chief source of food to a peninsular country like India. Fish food production and Human health can be affected by heavy metal contamination. Heavy metals can be significant carcinogenic agents based on their toxic effects and bioaccumulation. The present study aims to analyse the concentrations of four heavy metals (As, Cr, Cd and Pb) in seawater and their bioaccumulation in commercially important fishes (Nemipterus japonicus, Rastrelliger kanagurta), Crab (Portunus sanguinolentus) and Shrimp (Penaeus monodon, Penaeus indicus). The samples were collected from Pulicat, Ennore, Pattinapakkam, Kovalam and Thiruvanmiyur regions of the Chennai coast and analysed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer and the results were interpreted with the USEPA human health risk assessment. The hierarchy of the concentration of heavy metals in the Crude oil is in the order Ni> As> Cr> Pb> Cd>Cu, seawater is in the order Pd> Ar> Cr> Cd. The species studied showed the highest accumulation of heavy metal in the liver and lowest in muscle tissues. The highest BCF concentration was recorded for Cr and lowest for Pb and BCF of muscles of all species showed lowered accumulation rate. THQ values of As, Cd and Pb in P. sanguinolentus from Pattinapakkam, Ennore and Kovalam, As, Cd and Pb in R. kanagurta from Ennore and Pattinapakkam were above 1. The values stipulate that prolonged consumption of these two species from the Ennore, Kovalam and Pattinapakkam coast may be potentially hazardous to human health. Cancer risk values for Cd in all five species studied was higher than the acceptable range in all the studied locations. Cr in the species N. japonicus, R. kanagurta from Ennore, Pulicat and Thiruvanmiyur and in P. sanguinolentus from Ennore and Kovalam, P. indicus and P. monodon from Pulicat and Pattinapakkam were close to the cancer risk value range, which indicates that the local consumers are at carcinogenic risk associated with Cd and Cr posed from consumption of fish and crustaceans’ species. Application of effective preventive measures and appropriate strategies to minimize heavy metal pollution can be identified and developed by studies on the earlier and current incidents and adopted or integrated into coastal management policies.
Panorama del cómic pastuso: apuntes para la reconstrucción de la historia del cómic en Pasto, Nariño (1980-2024)
Authors: Benavides Carmona Iván Andrés
Published: July 2024

Este estudio examina la evolución de la historieta en Pasto (Nariño), subrayando la paradoja de una tradición editorial constante frente a una presencia intermitente de ilustración y cómic. Se investiga el papel crucial de la prensa en la introducción de cómics, tanto extranjeros como locales, y se explora la relación de la historieta pastusa con la caricatura política, enfocándose en su desarrollo en los ochenta y su cambio hacia temáticas más explícitas en los noventa, asociado en parte a la evolución del conflicto armado interno. También se analiza el impacto académico y las limitaciones impuestas por la falta de circuitos consolidados en su desarrollo, concluyendo con una revisión de la influencia de la cultura geek en la escena del cómic pastuso más contemporánea.

Published: July 2024

Pengabdian kepada masyarakat merupakan salah satu dari Tri Dharma perguruan tinggi bagi masyarakat. Air cucian beras dan juga limbah dapur merupakan sampah organik yang jarang dimanfaatkan sebagai salah satu alternatif pupuk yang ramah lingkungan. Sebagian besar sampah dapur dapat dijadikan pupuk kompos maupun pupuk cair. Tujuan dilakukan pengabdian ini adalah untuk memberikan edukasi bagi masyarakat tentang pemanfaatan limbah dapur dan juga air cucian beras sebagai salah satu unsur hara alami bagi tanaman. Dengan cara ini diharapkan dapat mengurangi sampah organik rumah tangga. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengabdian ini berupa pemberian penyuluhan dan praktek pembuatan pupuk. Bahan yang digunakan berupa air cucian beras, gula merah dan juga sisa sampah dapur. Campuran tersebut difermentasi selama 7-10 hari. Selama proses ini berlangsung, tutup wadah dibuka sesaat untuk mengurangi kebocoran wadah akibat gas-gas hasil fermentasi yang dihasilkan oleh bakteri. Hasil fermentasi air cucian beras dan juga limbah dapur setelah 7-10 hari  berwarna kecoklatan dan berbau sedikit asam. Hasil pengabdian ini berupa pupuk organik cair yang siap diaplikasikan bagi tanaman. Pengaruh pemberian pupuk terhadap tanaman belum dilakukan karena keterbatasan waktu dan akan dilakukan survei pada agenda kegiatan pengabdian berikutnya di Desa Lamreh.
Islamic Law on Peace Agreements in Murabahah Dispute Resolution: An Analysis in Banyumas Religious Court
Authors: Nada Syifaun
Published: July 2024

This study aims to determine the basis of the nature of the peace deed in the settlement of murabahah disputes in the Banyumas Religious Court. The main problem to be revealed in this study is how the review of Islamic engagement law on the peace deed in the settlement of murabahah disputes in the Banyumas Religious Court. The research method used by the author is included in literature law research. This literature research focuses on the scope of legal conception, legal rules, and legal principles, not up to human behavior. The results of this study show that the Parties to the peace deed have indirectly applied some of the provisions of the engagement based on the Islamic law of engagement, both from the provisions of the principle or principle, the provisions of the pillars, and the provisions of the terms and some things are not applied under these provisions. So, the law of the peace deed is binding and can be implemented as the provisions of Islamic law by both parties. This means that the Banyumas Religious Court has implemented the positive rule of law well, but on the other hand has implemented the legal provisions that apply to Islam. This peace deed becomes the basic agreement document of the parties to execute or execute the agreement that has been decided by the judge. Thus, the parties must abide by it in order for the benefit of this agreement to be achieved.
