Climate change and its impacts are becoming even more evident at the environmental, social, health, and economic levels. Attitudes are stable perceptions that guide people's reactions to the various phenomena of their social environment. The main purpose of the study is to record the knowledge, attitudes, and opinions of nurses regarding the changes and effects of climate change and to raise awareness on environmental protection issues. The sample consisted of nursing staff of hospitals in Greece. For the study, a self-completed questionnaire constructed which included 6 thematic sections and a total of 42 questions following the Likert scale. Due to the large number of nursing staff, availability sampling was chosen to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and opinions of the sample. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed to present the sample responses. All questions of the questionnaire presented good reliability according to Cronbach's a analysis (>0.8). Most of the sample was female (68.9%), the mean age was 41.4 ± 7.2 years. The majority (52.8%) were Registered Nurses, the average length of service was 16.1 years, and they worked at 2 psychiatric hospitals in Athens. 71.5% declared climate change as a very important problem and 58.9% consider the contribution of individuals through the reduction of energy consumption in solving environmental problems. In the present study, participants were sufficiently informed regarding environmental issues, and its effects on the physical and mental health.

O presente estudo tem por escopo uma análise do acesso à educação durante a pandemia de Covid-19. O vírus chegou ao Brasil em meados de março de 2020 e tem evidenciado a desigualdade social e econômica que permeia a sociedade brasileira, exigindo uma readaptação no setor educacional e que tem ocorrido de forma desigual. A educação, assim como, diversos outros setores, tem sofrido os impactos do isolamento social, e encontrou no ensino remoto uma forma de tentar minimizar os danos causados pela pandemia. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar as adaptações realizadas no setor da educação para garantir o ensino durante a pandemia à utilização de novas tecnologias na prática educativas e como os discentes os que estão em condições socioeconômicas desfavoráveis, podem ser afetados em sua aprendizagem. Há que evidenciar os impactos da pandemia na educação e aspectos a serem observados na formulação de políticas públicas e práticas de apoio ao enfren­tamento neste período. Percebe-se que o ensino remoto mesmo com várias ofertas de acesso por meios de plataformas e aplicativos, tende a reforçar a desigualdade do acesso e qua­lidade da educação brasileira, além de carecer de planejamento e um olhar individual para o docente ao tocante de sua formação para competência em saber utilizar as novas tecnologias. Para tanto, utilizou-se pesquisa descritiva de abordagem qualitativa para compreender os aspectos subjetivos dos fenômenos sociais e do comportamento humano a partir a partir da pesquisa de campo, realizada por meio da coleta de dados de um questionário destinado aos professores, alunos e pais do 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental I no Município de Manaus-AM.

Achyrocline satureioides, a medicinal plant widely used in Brazilian traditional medicine for diverse healing applications, has been underexplored for its potential anticancer properties. This study aimed to investigate the antitumor potential of A. satureioides extract on SK-Mel-28 melanoma cells, using an innovative approach devised by the authors that involves a potentiating solution of iron dextran to enhance the efficacy of bioactive and anticancer agents. The extract was characterized for its phytochemical composition, antioxidant effect, and anticancer activity. The anticancer activity was assessed for various concentrations of the extract, both with and without the iron dextran potentiating solution. The analysis revealed a high concentration of total phenolics and flavonoids in the extract, along with moderate antioxidant activity. Notably, the extract exhibited substantial anticancer activity, markedly reducing cell proliferation and influencing several cancer-related markers, especially at a concentration of 500 μg in combination with the potentiating solution. Importantly, the treatment exhibited no toxicity to healthy cells, showing selective cytotoxicity and robust anticancer potential of A. satureioides, particularly when combined with the iron dextran solution. This study represents the inaugural report of the potentiating effect of A. satureioides as a promising candidate for further cancer treatment research.

Present study was conducted to compare the indigenous, crossbred cattle and buffaloes for the utilization of nutrients, growth and methane emission when fed on a similar diet. A 120-days feeding trial was carried out with six animals each of Murrah buffalo, Vrindavani and Tharparkar cattle, each on a similar diet comprising of wheat straw 30% and concentrate 70%. The DM intake (kg/d) was significantly higher for Vrindavani cattle than Murrah buffaloes and Tharparkar cattle. Whereas, the apparent digestibility of nutrients was similar in all the groups. Average daily gain (g/d) was higher in Murrah buffaloes than Vrindavani and Tharparkar cattle. Higher feed conversion ratio was seen in Vrindavani than other two groups which indicate that the Murrah and Tharparkar have better feed efficiency than Vrindavani. The N balance was significantly higher in Murrah followed by Vrindavani and was lowest in Tharparkar. The methane emission (l/kg DMI, l/kg DDMI) was similar among the three groups. It was concluded that Vrindavani cattle showed higher feed conversion ratio than buffaloes and Tharparkar cattle, which signifies later two species are superior in nutrient utilization than former one. In terms of methane production and digestibility of nutrients, the animals of all three groups were similar.

A study was conducted for the clinical evaluation of Tiletamine-zolazepam when used in combination with inj. atropine, inj. butorphanol and either xylazine or dexmedetomidine in 18 client owned dogs presented for ovariohysterectomy. They were divided into two groups: group 1 (n=9) and in group 2 (n=9). The drug regime for groups included inj. butorphanol @ 0.2 mg/kg and inj. atropine @ 0.04 mg/kg followed by inj. xylazine @ 1.0 mg/kg along with tiletamine-zolazepam @ 3.3 mg/kg in group 1 and dexmedetomidine @ 10 µg/kg along with tiletamine-zolazepam @ 4.5 mg/kg in group 2. Animals in both the groups showed smooth induction with adequate muscle relaxation and analgesia. Significant decrease in rectal temperature was noticed in both the groups, which improved during recovery. ECG parameters did not show significant difference from physiological values in majority of animals. Significant increase in heart rate was noticed after induction in both groups, which came back to normal resting values at the end of the study period. Non-invasive blood pressure showed non-significant increase in both the groups initially and later dropped lower than pre-anesthetic value. SpO2, EtCO2 and FiCO2 values remained within the normal range throughout the procedure. Significant decrease in respiration rate was noticed in both groups with no incidence of apnea. Haematological parameters reduced non-significantly at the end of the study period when compared with baseline value in both the groups. Biochemical parameters and electrolytes did not vary significantly throughout the study period except for glucose which showed a significant increase throughout the study in both the groups. Recovery period was longer in group 2. Vocalization with ataxia and head bobbing was noticed in some animals of group 1 and 2 which ended after recovery without any adverse consequences. The protocol used in the study provided safe and adequate anaesthesia for different surgical manipulations that can be performed under 60 min in dogs.

Published: September 2024

Chicken Infectious Anaemia (CIA) is an economically important avian viral disease and causes severe economic loss due to vaccination failure and makes the birds more susceptible to secondary infections. Huge mortality is being recorded while CIA occurs concurrently with other bacterial and viral diseases. The present study aimed to study the incidence, pathology and disease pattern of Chicken Anaemia Virus (CAV) and its concurrent infections. A total of 60 layer poultry flocks aged 6 to 55 weeks with the history suggestive of CAV and concurrent infections were investigated. Out of 60 flocks, 46 were found to be positive for CAV out of which 17 had concurrent infections of viral and bacterial diseases. Among them, MD was found to be positive in 6 flocks and the remaining 11 flocks showed gangrenous dermatitis in which CAV was co-infected with various combination bacterial agents, viz. Clostridium perfringens, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. CAV with concurrent infections caused more intense pathological changes as compared to CAV alone. The organs showed prominent lesions of severe enlargement and nodules in concurrent infection of CAV with MD, whereas in CAV + GD, organs showed more vascular changes like congestion as compared to individual infection of CAV alone. Pleomorphic lymphocyte infiltration and fibrinous exudate were observed in organs of CAV co-infection with MD. Bacterial clusters were observed in the organs of CAV + GD indicating septicemia due to immunosuppression by CAV.

Authors: SINGH BHAVJOT , SINGLA L D , KAUR PARAMJIT
Published: September 2024

Trypanosoma evansi is a haemoprotozoan that causes a severe disease called as Surra in domestic and wild mammals. The disease is endemic in India and the clinical symptoms of disease can vary depending on the host species but generally include fever, anaemia, weight loss, weakness, neurological signs and decreased production capacity. In this study, the clinical observations of the six buffaloes that showed signs of emaciation, corneal opacity, oedema, and circling behaviour was done. All the suspected animals (n=06) were tested for Trypanosoma by a combination of methods to detect the presence of the parasite by microscopy, Card Agglutination Test for Trypanosomiasis (CATT) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Only three animals were diagnosed positive by microscopy. All buffaloes were found positive for Trypanosoma infection by CATT and PCR assay. The haematological and biochemical test indicated significant fall in total haemoglobin (Hb), total erythrocyte count (TEC), packed cell volume (PCV), glucose, total protein, and albumin levels. Additionally, there were appreciable elevations in blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and total bilirubin levels, indicating liver and renal malfunction. One animal succumbed to infection and had acute peritoneal oedema in postmortem observations. The report underlines the significant clinical and biochemical changes linked to evansi infection in buffaloes. The study also highlights the need of early detection and treatment in reducing the negative effects of trypanosomiasis on animal health and production.

An Exploration on Students’ Perceptions in Implementing Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Approach for Instructional System Design Course
Authors: Mohd Yusof Fairuz Husna
Published: September 2024

Problem-based learning is a pedagogical approach that allows students to engage with problems assigned to them. It is a platform that enables students to get involved with real world problems while applying concepts rather than being directed with presentations of facts per se. Although the approach is considered as effective, it is not the usual traditional approach used in classes as lecturers act as facilitators guiding the students in finding the problem solutions, instead of giving the solutions. Thus, this study investigates students’ perceptions in implementing problem-based learning approach for their Instructional System Design (ISD) course. 35 students of Applied Language Studies in a public university in Malaysia were purposively selected for the study. This study made use of quantitative approach. In collecting the data, a survey was administered and a set of questionnaires was used as the tool to gather the data. The findings showed that most students found PBL provided positive learning experiences and beneficial for them. This study helps lecturers and university management to get insightful feedback on incorporating PBL in the course currently and in the future.

The Role of the School Principal in Ensuring the Fulfillment of the Needs of Individuals with Disabilities and Special Needs in Educational Settings
Authors: BARUTI-SYLEJMANI Miranda , SEJDIU Nexhmedin
Published: September 2024

This study explores the pivotal role of school principals in the inclusion of students with disabilities and special needs in general education environments. The research examines how principals' engagement and leadership impact the successful implementation of inclusive education policies and practices. Using a Likert scale survey, data was collected from 100 participants to measure various factors, including the frequency of training for inclusive education, principals' roles, and the number of students with disabilities. The analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between the principal's role and the number of students with disabilities (r = -0.309, p < 0.01), suggesting that proactive and supportive leadership can create an environment where fewer students require separate classification. However, only 9.6% of the variance in the number of students with disabilities could be explained by the principal's role, indicating the influence of other factors as well. Furthermore, the study found that many principals lack adequate knowledge and training in special education laws and effective inclusive practices, which hinders their ability to support students with disabilities fully. The findings underscore the need for continuous and specialized training for school leaders and the importance of a holistic approach that involves the entire school community in creating an inclusive environment. Based on these results, the study recommends enhancing training programs for principals, investing in resources and support systems for staff and students, and fostering a collaborative culture that promotes the inclusion of students with disabilities. By addressing these areas, schools can better meet the diverse needs of all students, ensuring equal opportunities for effective education in general education settings.
