Authors: Simo Rudy Valdès , Ateba Sylvin Benjamin , Zingué Stéphane , Pieme Constant Anatole , Njamen Dieudonné
Published: July 2019

Baillonella toxisperma Pierre (Sapotaceae) is a medicinal plant widely used in Central Africa against several diseases including erectile dysfunction and male infertility. However, no study dealing with these male reproductive dysfunctions has been published until now. Accordingly, the present study was undertaken. It evaluated the capacity of an aqueous extract of stem bark of B. toxisperma (BT) at 75, 150 and 300 mg/kg/d to induce aphrodisiac effects and prevent the stress-induced reproductive dysfunction in males using normal non-experienced (an 8-day oral treatment) and stressed (a 6-h/day immobilization stress for 35 consecutive days)male Wistar rats. Both in normal and stressed animals, BT at the doses of 150 and 300 mg/kg decreased (p < 0.05) the mount and intromission latencies, and increased (p < 0.05) the number of total penile licking, mount and intromission as well as ejaculation frequencies. In stressed animals, a significant (p < 0.05) increase in sperm levels, sperm mobility as well as in the relative weight of androgen-dependent organs (testis, epididymis and seminal vesicles) was observed at the same doses compared with the stressed control. These results suggest that this aqueous extract of B. toxisperma might endow with aphrodisiac and androgenic properties in normal and stressed male Wistar rats.

Caesalpinia bonduc, Mondia Whitei, Carissa spinarum and Syzygium aromaticum are four medicinal plants used alone or in combination in the production of traditional liquors in Togo to treat infertility, impotence and infections. They were selected on the basis of an ethnobotanical survey among Togolese traditional medicine practitioners to be evaluated for their toxicological effects and antioxidant properties. The phytochemical extraction was carried out on the powders of the roots, leaves and seeds of C. bonduc, the roots and leaves of M. whitei, the roots of C. spinarum and the leaves of S. aromaticum. The toxicity of hydroethanolic and aqueous extracts of each plant organ were checked in vitro on shrimp larvae and in antioxidant tests. The toxicity test showed that, the seven hydroethanolic extracts had their LC50 between 0.20 and 1.85 mg/ml and were all above 0.1 mg/ml, LC50 threshold set for in vitro toxicity tests. Concerning antioxidant activity, the DPPH antiradical test showed that the fourteen extracts had it IC50 between 38.21 to 96.10 μg/mL, higher than 7.79 µg/mL which is the IC50 of quercetin used as a standard drug. The results showed that the extracts had antioxidant activity and were not toxic to shrimp larvae in vitro. However, toxicity studies will be further evaluated in vivo in animals to prove their safety and their use in traditional medicine in Togo.

Authors: Ighodaro OM , Asejeje FO , Adeosun AM , Ujomu T , Bakre SR
Published: July 2019

Background: Conventional treatments for diabetes mellitus apparently lack the desired therapeutic interventions and are relatively expensive for a number of individuals suffering from the diseases. Hence, several formulated polyherbal drugs are currently utilized as treatment options for diabetes. Objective: In view of this, the present study investigated the acclaimed antidiabetic potential of a formulated polyherbal drug (FPD) popularly sold in a major city (Ibadan) in Nigeria as Merry Herbal Tea. FPD was screened for its active constituents and antidiabetic efficacy using GC-MS technique and alloxan-induced diabetic rats respectively. Methods: The diabetic rats were randomized into a diabetic control group and three diabetic groups separately treated with FPD (5mL/kg), FPD (10mL/kg) and Metformin (12mg/kg) BW (p.o) twice daily, for a period of five days. Blood glucose (FBGL) was monitored at different time intervals using acucheck glucometer and pancreas was harvested from each animal and processed for histological examinations. Results: Although FPD at the studied doses lowered blood glucose levels in the experimental rats but unlike metformin, its hypoglycemic effect was not significant (P˂0.05) when compared to the initial diabetic glucose level of the animals. This observation was substantiated by the pancreatic histological architectures of the FPD and metformin treated animals relative to their untreated diabetic counterparts. Conversely, FDP significantly lowered the number of diabetes-induced mortality (28.6 %) relative to the untreated diabetic group (60.1%). Contained in FDP among other bioactive compounds is Lup-20(29)-en-3-ol, acetate which has been associated with diabetic functions in previous studies. Conclusion: The blood glucose and mortality lowering effects, as well as the presence of Lup20(29)-en-3-ol, acetate demonstrated by FPD within the evaluation period tend to suggest a possible antidiabetic relevance for the formulated polyherbal drug. However, we recommend that the antidiabetic effects of FDP be assessed for a longer period and more assays related to diabetes be conducted before a definite conclusion is made on its antidiabetic relevance.

Authors: Neupane Bijaya , Khatiwoda Binod , Budhathoki Subash
Published: July 2019

Human Elephant Conflict (HEC) is a product of complex interaction between human and elephant that represents the detrimental impact for both. This study was aimed to assess the effectiveness of 17 km solar-powered electric fence installed in 2015 in north-eastern part of Jhapa district (Bahundangi VDC) against transboundary herds of wild elephants (150-200) that annually enters into Nepal from India and caused HEC. For this study, the detailed information on HEC incidents (human casualty and injury, crop and property damage) before and after the fence installation was collected. Affected wards within Bahundangi VDC were purposively selected for households survey (N=100), consultations and group discussions (N=5) and participatory field observations. We encountered poor maintenance and care of the electric fence and in some places covered by grasses and climbers questioning its sustainability. In-spite of it, the number of incidents of HEC sharply reduced by 96.13%. Before the fence (in 2014), the estimated economic loss per household per year in the VDC was 103 USD (crop=95 USD and property=8 USD). Remarkably, there was reduction in economic loss of crop and property damage by 93% and 96% respectively. Besides, chi-square test of independence showed that there was significant difference in damages among the 4 affected wards of Bahundangi VDC with respect to paddy crop but not with maize crop, cowshed and other properties. After the fence installation, only few elephants accidently entered in some areas by breaking the solar fence and caused few incidents of crop and property damages. From the overall evaluation, solar fence was found effective in reducing HEC by protecting human lives, crops and properties.

Published: July 2019

Climate is one of the major factors that govern the distribution of tree species. Climate change has already affected the growth, structure and distribution of trees and woodlands. Global climate change projections are wetter winters, drier summers and significance changes in temperature regimes in the next few decades. The main objective of this study was to experimentally demonstrate the effects of decline in summer rainfall, as predicted by UKCP09/IPCC, on height and diameter growth in two co-occurring silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) and downy birch (Betula pubescens Ehrh) and provide further understanding of the changes in growth and development in response to a decrease in water availability. One-year-old seedlings were grown in a temperature-controlled greenhouse for eight weeks in a split-plot experimental design. Their height and diameter were measured and analyzed. Result showed that plant height and diameter was significantly reduced with increased water stress. B. pendula showed higher physiological traits indicating that this species can perform better than B. pubescensin water-deficit conditions.

Published: July 2019

Landslide hazard zonation map is prepared to assist planners to implement mitigation measures so that further damage and loss can be minimized. In this study, post 25 April 2015 earthquake remote sensing data were used to prepare landslide inventory. Landsat images after the earthquake were downloaded from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) website and processed using ArcGIS, ERDAS imagine and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as an extension in ArcGIS. The study was carried out in Gorkha district as this was the epicenter of the main earthquake of 25 April 2015 and consequently was highly affected by earthquake triggered landslide. The digital imagery was processed to analyze land use/land cover type. Geological features were analyzed using the criteria like color, tone, topography, stream drainage, etc. Primary topographic features like slope, aspect, elevation, etc. were generated from Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Seismological data (magnitude and epicenter) were obtained from Department of Seismology. For Landslide Susceptibility Zonation (LSZ) different thematic maps like Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) map, slope map, aspect map, lithological map, buffer map (distance from road and river/water source), soil map, and seismological map were assigned relative weights on the ordinal scale to obtain Landslide Susceptibility Index (LSI). Threshold values were selected according to breaks in LSI frequency and a LSZ map was prepared which shows very low, low, moderate, high, very high hazard zones in Gorkha district.

Authors: Tiwari Krishna Raj , Rayamajhi Santosh
Published: July 2019

Nepal is prone to a variety of recurring natural disasters such as floods, landslides, snow avalanches, thunderstorms, drought, earth quake and epidemics. In particular, floods, landslides, hailstorms and drought are almost regular phenomena. This paper has focused mainly on water induced disaster (Monsoon) prepared through review of documents, consultation with related line agencies and field level interaction with affected communities. The paper also seeks to explore and document the major disasters and their impacts in Nepal. It discusses policy and program, institutional arrangement and activities related to the disaster management as well as identification of gaps in the policy and program. Nepal has attempted to manage the prevalence of these hazards and their associated disasters through both informal civic involvement and formal government instruments. A legal and policy environment to deal with disasters has existed in one or the other form in Nepal since 1982, and these have been reviewed. Study showed that disaster management activities only found initial response rather post disaster program. However, findings of the previous and present programs and activities on disaster management have not addressed effectively to the vulnerable people and to reduce the impact from disasters at the local level. It is suggested that disaster management policy and program should be integrated and mainstreamed in development agenda.

Upstream-downstream Connectivity: An Overview of Hydrological and Ecological Functions in relation to the Churia-Terai Conservation in Nepal
Authors: Paudel Shambhu , Basnet Reecha
Published: July 2019

The Churia-Terai (CT) is interlinked by the Churia range, Bhabar and Terai, where Terai exist as granary basket of the country and the Churia and Bhabar is the recharge zone of Terai. Changing environment of the Churia range has directly affected the condition of upstream and downstream. To recommend the appropriate watershed management linking upstream and downstream on this landscape, functional analysis were carried out using ecological and hydrological parameters based on secondary literatures. For the proper management of the watershed and its alarming cause of deterioration, understanding upstream and downstream linkages or process is must. Deforestation leads to climate change (temperature and precipitation) and watershed deterioration, which has become the aggravating factor for landslide and soil erosion in upstream and flood in the downstream. The paper highly stressed development of conceptual framework with clear functional activities based on integrated watershed management approach linking the upstream-downstream hydro-ecological phenomena. Thus the paper recommends integrated watershed management with a clear policy which helps to focus priorities and manages its bio-physical condition in a sustainable basis.

This paper  was conducted to produce an effective learning model for developing literacy and numeracy in early childhood. Many teachers get locked out of the process of helping their students especially young learners to read , write  and count because our education system is not allowed the young children is learned to do those activities  at school. This really should not be so.Based on Dr.Maria  Montessori  who was a pioneer in teaching reading, writing and counting for young learners, the preparation for reading and writing begins long before formal school and teachers can do that at school as well as parents at home. The ability to read, write and count is not, in itself, a sufficient ambition. What is of supreme importance is bringing about, in a child, a desire to read , write, and count. In this paper we will find Montessori Activities which are the building literacy and numeracy skills.  This activities is presented by using the well designed Montessori apparatus, reviewed and age appropriate for children.Key Word : Literacy and Numeracy, Montessori, Montessori Activities, Montessori Apparatus, Age Appropriate.

Published: July 2019

The rise of cases of sex exploitation in children is a clear proof of the lack of knowledge of children about sex education that they should have obtained from the first year by their parents. Entering the age of 1-2 years, the ability to speak, curiosity, and the ability to remember began to increase and quite well. Now is the right time to continue adding vocabulary and hone the child's ability to remember and speak, by starting to introduce body parts like hair, nose, knees, heels, and so on. Autism is a term used to describe a type of pervasive disorder in a child that results in a disturbance or delay in cognitive, language, behavioral, communication and social interaction. Providing education and understanding is a challenge for parents themselves. This study illustrates how the roles performed and displayed by individual autistic parents in introducing body parts. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a case study approach with observations and interviews conducted to parents of individuals with autism. The results of this study indicate that the maximal parental role produces autistic autonomous individual behavior. Independent in terms of understanding the body parts, maintaining the hygiene of the body parts and understanding the body parts that can be touched and not touched.Keywords: Autistic, Preschool age, Body Parts, Parents

Published: July 2019

Based on a cross-cultural perspective, the current study aims to compare the realization of the speech act of compliments among Yemeni Arabic native speakers (YANSs) and American English native speakers (AENSs). Samples of 30 participants of Americans and 30 other participants of Yemenis were involved in the study. The data were collected through a Discourse Completion Test (DCT) consisting of six hypothetical compliment scenarios. The corpus collected for analysis was 380 Arabic compliment semantic formulas and 338 English compliment semantic formulas. Data were analyzed in terms of frequency counts of 20 strategies and order of semantic formulas in the speakers' response utterances. The findings showed that there are some pragmatic similarities and differences between the two native groups. Some strategies seemed to be universal across the two cultures like Admiration whereas strategies of Exaggeration, Gratitude to God and Metaphor are culturally specific to Arabic. The findings also revealed that most of the speakers' utterances were in the two-fold order of semantic formulas. Moreover, the findings showed that American compliments were steady and formulaic in nature while Arabic Compliments were various in formulas and long.

DIAGNOSTIC ROLE OF BONE SCINTIGRAPHY IN EARLY PROGNOSIS OF PARAENDOPROSTHETIC COMPLICATIONS IN ARTHROPLASTY OF HIP AND KNIEE JOINTS
Authors: Korol P. , Tkachenko M.
Published: July 2019

For 10 years, we studied the diagnostic role of three-phase bone scintigraphy (3-f BS) in the early prognosis of paraendoprosthetic complications in patients with degenerative-dystrophic and infectious-inflammatory diseases of the hip and knee joints. Using 3-f BS, the kinetic radionuclide parameters of inclusion and distribution of radiopharmaceutical (RP) in the projection of affected joints were evaluated. It was determined that the kinetics of osteotropic RP in the foci of fixation of affected joints in infectious and inflammatory processes is characterized by the predominance of retention and specific accumulation of the drug in the early and delayed static phase of 3-f BS in comparison with foci of fixing RP in degenerative-dystrophic lesions, which correlates with the differences destructively-reparative processes in them.According to the results of the analysis of the kinetic parameters, a radionuclide model of the dynamics of inclusion and distribution of RP in septic and aseptic joint lesions has been developed.
