Effects of Environmental Enrichment on Stress and Welfare in Laboratory Animals
Authors: Charles Sonia
Published: March 2024

Purpose: The general purpose of this study was to examine the effects of environmental enrichment on stress and welfare in laboratory animals.

Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.

Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the effects of environmental enrichment on stress and welfare in laboratory animals. Preliminary empirical review revealed that that enriching their living environments significantly improved their well-being. They found that interventions such as physical, social, cognitive, and sensory enrichment reduced stress levels, promoted natural behaviors, and enhanced cognitive function. Tailoring enrichment programs to specific species' needs and considering factors like environmental complexity and novelty proved crucial. Moreover, these interventions not only benefited animal welfare but also improved research outcomes by reducing stress and enhancing the validity of preclinical studies. Overall, the research underscored the importance of implementing evidence-based enrichment strategies to ensure the ethical treatment of laboratory animals and enhance the reliability of scientific research.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Biophilia Hypothesis, Optimal Stimulation theory and Stress Inoculation theory may be used to anchor future studies on stress and welfare in laboratory animals. The study made significant contributions to theory, practice, and policy in the field of laboratory animal welfare. It provided valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms of environmental enrichment's influence on animal well-being, contributing to existing theoretical frameworks such as the Biophilia Hypothesis, Optimal Stimulation Theory, and Stress Inoculation Theory. Additionally, the study offered practical recommendations for implementing evidence-based enrichment programs tailored to the needs of different animal species. These findings informed policy development by guiding the establishment of standards for enrichment in laboratory animal facilities, enhancing the protection and welfare of laboratory animals across institutional and national levels.

Lygia Clark em Navilouca
Authors: Rost Isis Diana
Published: March 2024

Projetada em edição única, Navilouca é uma concentração de artistas subterrâneos no auge da ditadura militar. Organizada por Torquato Neto e Waly Salomão em 1972, se diferencia das revistas literárias tradicionais, por seu caráter extensivo e intersemiótico, com espaço para artes sensoriais. Neste cenário, a relevância do corpo é cultivada num campo que oferece cada vez mais espaço, privilegiando a liberdade, a experimentação e a visibilidade de propostas subversivas. Comentaremos o entrelaçamento entre corpo e obra através do texto “Da supressão do objeto (anotações)”, escrito por Lygia Clark para a Navilouca, onde é possível perceber a figuração de um corpo em movimento criativo. Este corpo se mostra ambíguo, e comporta, nem sempre de forma harmoniosa, um lado pleno, luminoso, e outro fragmentado, obscuro. Neste corpo em movimentação são revelados alguns pontos de fuga e decifrados os modos de resistência frente o embrutecimento da ditadura. Aqui, o objetivo será apresentar este trabalho de Lygia Clark e explorar a escritura da artista, suas anotações sobre a relação entre corpo e objeto, além de retomar as ponderações acerca da perda da autoria.
Multicultural e o Multi-afetivo
Authors: Romariz Letícia
Published: March 2024

Os estudos pós-coloniais analisam, também, a confluência de pessoas e os encontros que ocorrem nas grandes cidades do mundo. Além do choque de culturas, há também um histórico de colonização e exploração que gerou ideias e preconceitos até hoje existentes. A autora caribenha Grace Nichols discute em seu The Fat Black Woman’s Poems (1984) a (sobre)vivência de uma mulher preta, gorda e caribenha na metrópole Londrina discutindo noções de casa, pertencimento e, principalmente, questões afetivas. Ao estudar sua obra, este artigo propõe uma análise pós-colonial que engloba os afetos que as cidades multiculturais carregam e como eles são parte fundamental das transformações mundiais contemporâneas.
Divisão e unificação alemã através de olhos brasileiros
Authors: Seerig Ana Paula
Published: March 2024

Entre 1982 e 1991, diferentes escritores brasileiros estiveram em Berlim como bolsistas do Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD). Os relatos sobre a vida na Alemanha dividida têm seu valor aumentado quando colocados lado a lado, já que repassam ao leitor a complexidade vivida pela sociedade alemã após a construção do muro. Ignácio de Loyola Brandão, Rubem Fonseca e João Antônio viveram meses na Berlim Ocidental, enquanto João Ubaldo Ribeiro testemunhou a tensão surgida nos primeiros tempos de país unificado. A leitura das experiências dos brasileiros provoca a reflexão sobre a profundidade das feridas criadas a partir de decisões políticas e o difícil processo de cicatrização.
Encontro do Deserto com o Mar
Authors: Rocha Marco Antonio , De Souza Silva Tayla
Published: March 2024

Em Un papillon dans la cité, a guadalupense Gisèle Pineau escreve sobre o encontro de duas crianças de origens culturais aparentemente distintas que acabam se conhecendo nas periferias de Paris e construindo uma forte amizade. Félicie, a protagonista do romance e também sua narradora, cresce em Guadalupe, próxima ao mar, enquanto Mohamed, embora nascido em Paris, vem de uma família Tuareg, um povo berbere do deserto do Saara. Esse encontro será essencial para a construção das identidades desses personagens que, no contato com o outro, no exercício de suas alteridades, acabam descobrindo sobre si e se transformando na relação. A literatura de Pineau, portanto, está no cerne da discussão sobre a literatura-mundo em francês proposta por Michel Le Bris e Jean Rouaud (2007). Entretanto, por acreditar que sua definição do que seria uma literatura-mundo em francês apaga a sua própria pluralidade constitutiva, abordamos também a discussão sobre literaturas sem morada fixa de Ottmar Ette (2018) a fim de pensar os movimentos que a obra de Pineau pode proporcionar, como uma literatura arquipélago que conecta ilhas distantes, como o mar e o deserto.

Published: March 2024

Mezarlıklar ölülerinin sadece gömülmesi için kullanılan bir yer olmanın dışında, çağlar boyunca ölü kültüyle ilişkilendirilen eğilimler ve gelenekler açısından toplumsal hafızayı canlı tutan önemli yerlerden birisi olmuştur. Ölümle ilgili olarak inanç ve ritüelleri belirleyen ölü kültü; kişisel ya da ailesel isteklerin dışında toplumsal, kültürel, dinsel, bölgesel ve etnik özellikler odağında çeşitlenmiştir. Ölü kültü içinde yer alan değerlerden biri olan mezar ve mezarlıklarda kullanılan dekoratif öğeler; tarihi, mimari, sanatsal, sembolik ve sosyal değerler açısından veriler ortaya koymaktadır. Bu kapsamda Hristiyan inancı ve bu inanca bağlı Katolik mezhebi çerçevesinde gelişen ölü kültü, sanatsal, sembolik yaklaşımlar ile önemli somut örnekler oluşturmaktadır. Bu somut örnekler mezarlıkların kimliklendirilmesine katkı oluşturarak, katolik inancının farklı bir iletişim kanalı ile anlaşılmasına yardımcı olmaktadırlar.

Bu çalışma, Porto ve çevresi Katolik mezarlıklarında yer alan dekoratif öğelerin kullanımı üzerine şekillenmiştir. Porto ve çevresinde yer alan onbir farklı Katolik mezarlık incelenmiş, bu mezarlıklarda yer alan farklı teknik ve malzeme ile uygulanmış dekoratif unsurların kullanımı irdelenmiştir. Yöntem olarak öncelikle, dekoratif öğeler azulejo, cam vitray ve heykel olarak bölümlere ayrılmıştır. Bu mezarlarda farklı teknik ve malzemelerin kullanımı ile Katolik inancının ölüm olgusu, mezarlık gelenekleri kapsamında değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca dekoratif unsurlarda sıklıkla kullanılan Katolik inancı temelinde gelişen sembollerin ne olduğu ve bunların anlamları üzerine değerlendirilmeler yapılmıştır.

Evaluation of speculated reproductive habitat for Somatochlora calverti (Corduliidae), a rare and range-restricted dragonfly
Authors: Girgente Hannah E. , McIntyre Nancy E.
Published: March 2024

Globally, freshwater ecosystems and the organisms that depend on them are at risk. Dragonflies and damselflies (collectively, “odonates”) have a history of being used as bioindicators of freshwater habitat quality due to their wide range in environmental sensitivities across species and because they are relatively accessible. However, the nymphal stage is severely understudied compared to the adult stage, which inhibits conservation efforts. Somatochlora calverti is a rare species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae; members of the genus Somatochlora are notoriously difficult to find and collect in the field as nymphs and adults. Somatochlora calverti is known primarily from the Florida panhandle but has been documented in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. The nymph of this species is speculated to use seepage streams analogous to sympatric congeners; however, the nymph has never been collected in the field and, therefore, its specific microhabitat is unknown. We conducted a review from a suite of informational sources to generate a holistic consensus on what is defined to be suitable reproductive habitat for S. calverti. Sources identified eight major environmental characteristics that are likely to harbor S. calverti: shallow seepage streams, including steephead ravines, with undercut banks and mats of Sphagnum moss adjacent to intact sandhill forest. These ecosystems are being lost and degraded by anthropogenic activity, which has considerable impacts on the persistence of habitat specialists, including S. calverti, and managers’ ability to conserve them.

COLOUR RETENTION IN ORNAMENTAL FISH,INDIAN ROSY BARB (Pethia conchonius), USING PETAL MEAL OF ASIAN PIGEONWINGS (Clitoria ternatea)
Authors: Mukherjee R , Maity J
Published: March 2024

The use of synthetic carotenoids in fish feed to potentiate the colouration, along   with some health benefits has become exorbitant to mitigate the demand for   lucrative ornamental fish within budget. Switching the source of pigmentation   and colouration from synthetic to natural sources is all time preferable choice   for biological system as well as for fish farmers. Petal dust of Asian pigeonwings  (Clitoria ternatea) was incorporated in basal diet to retain the colour of rosy barb   (Pethia conchonius) within captive conditions. Varied concentrations of petal   dust(0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and2 g 100 g-1 basal feed) were added to the basal feed, fed twice  a day at 4% body weight. Water quality parameters and proximate analysis of  feed and growth parameters were measured and carotenoid concentration in fish tissue were measured spectrophotometrically. At the completion of 60 day’s  experiment a spectacular increase in growth, survival, and carotenoid  concentrations (1.88 to 2.42 µg g-1) in body tissue was observed. The best survival  and growth of fish were obtained from D4 (0.5%) at 5% level of significance. In  proper captive conditions, it is recommended to include 0.5% Asian Pigeonwings dust in prepared feed for better growth and colour retention of rosy barb.
POLARITY GUIDED EXTRACTION AND CHROMATOGRAPHIC IDENTIFICATION OF ACETOGENINS FROM Annona glabra L. LEAVES
Authors: Sheba PT , George Akhila , Joseph Elsam
Published: March 2024

Annona glabra L. (family: Annonaceae) is used as a traditional medicine  

against several human infirmities, including cancer. Most of the members of  

family annonaceae possess a unique class of natural product called  

acetogenins. The present study was aimed to extract and fractionate the  

acetogenins from the leaves of Annona glabra using the solvents of increasing  

polarity, such as hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate ethanol, and water. Solvents  

with higher polarity such as ethyl acetate were found more effective in  

extracting lactone-containing compounds as compared to the less polar  

solvents. The quantity of acetogenins isolated from the A. glabra leaves was  

estimated by lactone concentration test. LC-MS/MS screening showed the  

presence of acetogenins in the samples with m/z values 596.9, 606.9, 679.8,  

566.8, 550.85, 672.15, 672.15, 624.9 and 565.35. These findings open up  

effective methods for separation and quantification of bioactive compounds. 

Further studies are to be focused on evaluating the efficacy of these compounds 

in pre-clinical and clinical trials, which may potentially contribute in  

developing the novel therapeutic formulations.
INFLUENCE OF FOLIAR APPLICATION OF ZINC AND BORON ON SEEDLING GROWTH OF PAPAYA (Carica papaya L.)
Authors: Kumar Abhishek , Deb Prahlad
Published: March 2024

Papaya is one of the important nutrient rich tropical fruit that is preferred and  

cultivated almost in majority of the states of India. Choice of variety, proper  

nutrition and disease management are the key operations for successful  

commercial papaya cultivation. Micronutrient deficiency starting from the early  

stage of growth can cause poor growth and yield reduction. Thus a potted plant  

experiment was conducted to study the influence of zinc and boron as foliar  

application on seedling growth of papaya. The experiment was laid out in a  

completely randomized design with nine treatments comprising of zinc sulphate  

@ 0.2 and 0.4%, and borax @ 0.2 and 0.4% and their combinations along with  

a control treatment (distilled water spray). The seedlings were raised in  

polythene bags filled with growing media (soil: sand: FYM @ 4:2:1) and sprayed  

with the micronutrients as per treatment, adjusting neutral pH at 15 day’s  

interval after germination. The application of ZnSO4 @ 0.4% + borax @ 0.2%  

improved seedling growth of papaya in terms of height, girth, number of leaves  

and leaf size. Also, the fresh and dry weights of shoot and root also showed  

significant improvement. Thus the foliar application of ZnSO4 @ 0.4% + borax  

@ 0.2% can be recommended for better seedling growth of papaya.
MORPHOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION OF Calotropis procera (Aiton) Dryand and Jatropha curcas L. IN NORTHERN NIGERIA

Published: March 2024

Phenetic analysis is a method for comparing plant species to establish their  degree of genetic similarity. To identify and classify the enormous variety of  plant life, morphological traits are essential. As the primary characteristics of  Calotropis procera and Jatropha curcas species, subspecies, and variety were  inadequately documented, there has been long-standing misunderstanding  and controversy concerning the taxonomic designations of these species. This  study aimed to use morphometric data to taxonomically identify C. procera and J. curcas using multivariate analysis. From the wild of Randagi, Sabon  Gero, and Kabara in Kaduna state, Northern Nigeria, twelve samples of C. procera and J. curcas each were collected. SIMCA-P (V.14.1, Umetrics  Sweden) was used for unsupervised multivariate analysis along with numerical  phenetic analysis. The analysis of this phenetic data yielded a spectrum filter  model with the strongest predictive power (fitness of the model) (Q2 (cum)  0.977) and the maximum variation (R2X (cum) 0.988). Principal component  analysis (PCA) showed clustering between the species under examination  along PCs 1 and 2, with C. procera clustering along the Y axis and J. curcas clustering along the X axis. A useful technique for avoiding adulteration is  phenetic analysis-based taxonomic identification of plants in conjunction with  multivariate analysis. However, to specifically analyse their relationships, a  combination of molecular and developmental datasets is still required.

Published: March 2024

Curcuma haritha (Zingiberaceae) is a less explored endemic ethnomedicinal herb  of north Kerala (India). The aim of present study was to evaluate the anti inflammatory potential and phytochemical profile of methanolic rhizome  extract of C. haritha. The preliminary assays performed were, the proteinase  inhibition and the protein denaturation inhibition tests, followed by  cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, iNOS and cellular nitrite activity/expression  assays in LPS stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. The toxicity of the extract was studied  using MTT assay and the expression of COX-2 inflammatory protein in treated  cells was determined by indirect ELISA. The phytochemical profiling was done  by GC-MS analysis. All the assays revealed a dose-dependent anti-inflammatory  effect in vitro. The inhibition of inflammatory enzymes, COX-2, Lox and iNOS  were observed as 62.16 ± 0.49, 57.25 ± 1.98 and 56.74 ± 2.73%, respectively, at  maximum concentration (100 µg mL-1). The cellular nitrite levels and expression  of COX-2 mediator protein also decreased in treated cells proving the anti inflammatory effect of the extract. GC-MS screening revealed the presence of 54  phytoconstituents including anti-inflammatory compounds like curcumenol,  chamazulene, etc., Therefore, in the light of above results, C. haritha can be  considered as a potential anti-inflammatory drug source plant.

Apparent ileal digestibility can be corrected to give the true ileal digestibility of the nitrogen and amino acids provided by the diet, by determining the flow of endogenous nitrogen and amino acids (from desquamated epithelial cells of gastrointestinal mucosa, mucins and digestive enzymes). This flow of nitrogen and amino acids has been studied in adult rabbits fitted with a T-cannula, but remains unknown for growing rabbits. The aim of this work was to propose a method to estimate endogenous nitrogen and amino acid losses in the ileum of growing rabbits slaughtered at 64 d of age from 20:00 h. For this purpose, two experiments were carried out. The first was performed with 10 weaned rabbits fed with a diet with casein as the only source of protein (whose ileal digestibility is 100%) and labelled with ytterbium. This experiment allowed us to identify the relationship between the ileal flow of endogenous nitrogen (IFEN) and the dry matter intake in the last 24 h before slaughter (DMI), which fits the equation: IFEN (mg/d)=5.99 DMI (g/d) +133; (R2=0.778, residual standard deviation=138, P<0.001, n=10). The second experiment was carried out with 36 rabbits fed the same diet but without ytterbium, with whose ileal content 9 pools were constituted to determine the amino acid profile of endogenous nitrogen, which was found to be rich in glutamic acid, serine, aspartic acid, glycine, valine and threonine (15.97±1.33; 8.00±0.80; 7.06±0.72; 6.24±0.77; 5.48±0.51 and 4.97±0.47 g/16 g of N, respectively) and poor in methionine and histidine (1.05±0.06 and 1.34±0.16 g/16 g of N, respectively). Knowing the DMI of a certain growing rabbit in the 24 h prior to slaughter, the combined use of the equation and the amino acid profile obtained makes it possible to estimate the ileal endogenous losses of each amino acid.
