Authors: Abdallah Zahra M.I. , Akhtar Sabina , Siddig Marmar A. El , Mousa Jehad , Hussein Adil A. El
Published: May 2024

Background: Salmonellosis is a serious health concern for both animals and humans. According to a report of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 40,000 human infections occur annually; however, the number of unconfirmed cases is as high as approximately 800,000-4000,000. These organisms gain entry into the gastrointestinal cells and cause serious diseases, resulting in intestinal damage and even death. Methods: In this research, 115 Salmonella isolates from different sources were tested. Using morphological, cultural, and biochemical methods, they were classified into 30 serovars. Plasmid profiling was used for quick identification, which showed similarities among the isolates.PCR primer sets targeting specific genes, such as invA, hilA, iroB, oriC, fimA, hitJ and stn, demonstrated reliability, accuracy and specificity for identifying S. enterica serovars. Result: This study recommends the use of specific primer sets in PCR-based methods for rapid and reliable identification and detection of locally isolated Salmonella serovars/strains. This research adds to the continuing efforts for improving the diagnostic techniques to tackle the challenges presented by Salmonella spp.

Authors: Tiwari T.N. , Dutta D. , Tiwari Kalpana , Naik S.J. Satheesh
Published: May 2024

Background: The cold stress adversely affects the growth, survival and reproductive capacity of plants if the minimum temperature falls below 5°C. Information’s regarding cold stress and its impact on morphological characters, physio-biochemical constituents and yield attributes in cold tolerant and susceptible pigeon pea genotypes are very limited. Keeping the above facts in to consideration, the experiments were conducted. Methods: Field experiments were conducted during 2018-19 and 2019-20 with 34 genotypes of pigeon pea including checks (NDA-1, Bahar, IPA203, NDA-2, MAL-13, ICP2275, IPACT-2, MA-6, IPACT-3, IPACT-24, Rajendra Arhar, IPA15F, Dholi-D, JBT46/27, IPACT-6, IPACT-14, IPAD1-17, IPAC 68, IPACT 22, ICPL 7035 IPA19-101, IPA19-102, IPA19-103, IPA19-104, IPA19-105, IPA19-106, IPA19-107, IPA19-108, IPA19-109, IPA19-110, IPA19-111, IPA19-112, IPA19-113, IPA19-114) in RBD at ICAR-IIPR, Kanpur. Morphological and yield Characters including plant height, scoring of cold injury in exposed plants and Number of flower drop and pod set during the cold period in tagged plants were recorded. In biochemical/ crop efficiency parameters viz: Nitrogen balance index, chlorophyll, flavonols, anthocyanin’s and NDVI were measured. The photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate were measured at the pod formation stage. Anti-oxidant enzymes activity was assayed as per standard methods. Meteorological observations during Cold stress were recorded. Result: Based on flower/pod drop and retention the genotypes like IPA 15F, Dholi dwarf, JBT46/27, IPACT-6, IPACT-14, IPAC-1-17, IPACT-68, IPACT-22, IPA 19-101, IPA 19-102, IPA 19-103, IPA 19-104, IPA 19-105, IPA 19-107, IPA 19-108, IPA 19-109, IPA 19-110, IPA 19-111 and IPA 19-113 were found susceptible to cold stress and retaining an average 51.67 % flowers/pods. Genotypes like NDA-2, MAL-13, ICP2275, IPACT-2, MA-6, IPACT-3, IPACT-24, Rajendra arhar, IPA19-106, IPA19-112 and IPA19-114 have retained more than an average of 67.48% flowers/pods are considered tolerant to cold stress. Amongst the tolerant group NDA-2, MAL-13, ICP2275, IPACT-2, IPA19-106, IPA19-112 retained the flower/pod more than the average of check genotypes (67.57%).

The Learning Potential of the Alliance Between Theatre and Digital Games
Authors: Delikonstantinidou Aikaterini
Published: May 2024

The affinities, interaction, and cross-fertilization of theatre art with games date back at least to the early modern period. However, since the 1990s, a pronounced and promising interconnection has been fostered between theatre and digital games, in theory, and practice, manifesting in fields like theater in education. In the present paper, we set forth some of the key constitutive elements of the said interconnection, underlining the benefits of studying digital gaming using theater as a basic reference model. Next, we turn to the affordances of the theatre-digital games alliance for the theatre and its reception by a diverse public. Finally, we discuss the presence of the said alliance in learning environments, zooming in on a few well-documented and effective methods through which it has been integrated into the praxis of theatre in education.

Is Indonesia's ELT Implementation Already Aligned with the Concept of 21st Century Language Teaching?
Authors: Efendi Tri Achmad , Kristanto Wisnu
Published: May 2024

The 21st century demands that students acquire the 4C’s skills so that they can face future challenges. In that case, English teachers have to select particular teaching methods or techniques to assist the students in sharpening their 4C skills. Therefore, to make the teaching relevant and effective, teachers should understand the notion of 21st-century language teaching and implement particular teaching methods and strategies that suit their needs. This research is aimed at examining if English language teaching in Indonesia has turned to the ideas of 21st-century education based on the student’s point of view. To seek the answer, this research employed a descriptive-qualitative approach. There were 58 secondary student participants from public and private schools. A survey, documents, and FGD were used as the instruments to collect the data. The data were transcribed, coded, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that many of our English language teaching practices in Indonesia were still conducted with a teacher-centered approach, focused on language components rather than sharpening their holistic knowledge, and rarely integrated with technology. In conclusion, based on the students’ perspectives, ELT in their schools has not tuned to the notion of 21st-century education. It was indicated by three reasons discussed in the study.

Los Diseñadores Industriales Intra-emprendedores para la Innovación en las pyMEs argentinas: El caso de Rmb Soldadura
Authors: D´'Amico Enrique
Published: May 2024

El vínculo entre el diseño industrial y el emprendedurismo en Argentina no es novedad. Esta práctica autoorganizada estuvo asociada en la primera década del segundo milenio, a una estrategia paliativa de la crisis socioeconómica que impactó negativamente en el sector de las pequeñas y medianas industrias (pymes) argentinas. Del mismo modo, entre los discursos dominantes en relación con este campo, predominó la figura estereotipada del emprendedor solitario. Sin embargo, con la expansión del emprendedurismo dentro del ámbito del diseño y el establecimiento de los ecosistemas emprendedores, como los modelos de innovación actuales, tuvo lugar una proliferación tipológica que dio origen a nuevas formas de emprender. Por ello, surge la necesidad de visibilizar la figura –un tanto desconocida- del intraprapreneuship (emprendedor interno) y analizar su potencial innovativo dentro del escenario productivo local. Para lograr este objetivo, se llevó adelante un estudio de caso descriptivo, que aborda el proceso de vinculación e integración del diseñador industrial emprendedor egresado de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Mariano Depino, y la empresa Alambres Rumbos S.A. situada en la ciudad de Lanús (Buenos Aires, Argentina). Con esto, se contribuyó a la difusión del intraemprendimiento en diseño y se puso en relieve su potencial estratégico al trabajar de manera articulada dentro de una organización.

Teaching Poe’s “The Black Cat” through Mock Trial Debate
Authors:   The Korean Society For Teaching English Literature, Kho Younghee
Published: May 2024

This essay explores the effects of teaching Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Black Cat” through mock trial debate. Based on the assumption that the mock trial debate form can complement the shortcomings of general discussion, the project assigns each student a different role - the accused narrator and his lawyer, the policeman as a witness and prosecutor, judge and court clerk. After preparing for 25 minutes, students start the mock trial under the judge’s moderation. The clerk records the process and presents the final verdict to the whole class. Through this approach, students are expected to improve skills not only for close reading, but also for reading with the grain and against the grain altogether; they are also expected to learn how to support their argument with evidence, persuade others, make a balanced decision, and deliver it neutrally. The mock trial debate was carried out in the fall semesters of 2022 and 2023, and was followed by a survey that asked students whether the experienced improvement in five areas: interest, text comprehension, critical thinking ability, communication skills, and other skills. The students answered most of the questions positively, thereby affirming the effectiveness of mock trial debate in the lesson on “The Black Cat.” The experiment exemplifies how we can develop our expertise as researchers and teachers to maximize the effectiveness of discussion.

This research aims to utilize computers as a tool for implementing information technology to enhance an individual's role as an information intermediary in tasks and processes, including the collection, transmission, processing, interpretation, storage, organization, and utilization of correspondence data to obtain high-quality information. The initial implementation of letter archive management involved manual recording of letters each day using a book, leading to insufficient detailed records of both incoming and outgoing letters, often resulting in difficulties in retrieving correspondence and impeding operational efficiency. The system development method employed is the waterfall method, characterized by the requirement to complete each step before advancing to the next, ensuring a systematic approach. The stages include software requirement analysis, design, coding, testing, and maintenance. This study addresses the challenges associated with manual recording of correspondence data using books, overcoming issues of inaccuracy and lack of precision in recording both incoming and outgoing letters through the implementation of an archive management application. With the integration of this application, the letter data processing becomes more accurate, detailed, efficient, and prompt, especially with the structured storage of data in a database.

Is Nymphaea rubra Roxb. Ex Andrews-An Apomict?
Authors: Mitra R. L. , Subramanyam K.
Published: May 2024

Studies on several populations of Nymphaea rubra in the Howrah, Hooghly and 24-Parganas districts in West Bengal and Barisal district in Bangladesh reveal that this species, claimed to be a native of Bengal, never sets fruit in nature. The plant propagates though stolons and vegetative buds and, in exceptional cases, by proliferation of flowers. The report of meiotic irregularity and high incidence of polysomaty and pollen sterility is indicative of its apomictic nature. The nomenclature of the plant has been discussed.

The Genus Hovenia Thunb. (Rhamnaceae) in the Indian Subcontinent
Authors: Sen Gupta G. , Safui B.
Published: May 2024

The Himalayan Hovenia described by Lindley in 1820 as H. acerba was subsequently merged by him with H. dulcis Thunb., a species occurring in Japan and China. Y. Kimura in 1939 in his revision of Hovenia retained H. acerba distinct from H. dulcis. The authors have studied the literature and material on Hovenia in Central National Herbarium and conclude that H. acerba should be treated as a variety under H. dulcis, H. dulcis var. acerba, comb, et stat. nov. H. parviflora Nakai et Kimura from South China is reduced as synonym of H. dulcis var. acerba. H. dulcis properly named as H. dulcis var. glabra Makino is treated as a taxonomic, if not nomenclatural synonym, of H. dulcis var. dulcis, and is reported from the Indian sub-continent from the Garhwal Himalayas and Arunachal Pradesh.

Edaphological Description of the Type Habitat of Coptis' Teeta Wall. - an Endangered Species of Medicinal Importance in Arunachal Pradesh
Authors: Singh J. N. , Mudgal V.
Published: May 2024

The edaphic conditions of the habitat of Coptis tetla Wall. have been discussed. The soils, where this species grows either under cultivation or in wild are moderately acidic to highly acidic, poor in surface porosity, very rich in silica content and possess insufficient amount of inorganic binding agents. However, the soils in cultivated fields are satisfactory in organic carbon status, water-holding ability and cation exchange capacity but inadequate presence of liming material and temperate climate adversely effect their energy materials. The 3oils at Malenja where this species is growing wild have textural limitation and anthropogenic interference. In the end the paper is concluded with suggestions. Results depict that the reasons for rarity and depletion of this species are not only anthropogenic but also environmental.

Authors: Gupta R. C.
Published: May 2024

'Jivanti an important Ayurvedic drug, has variously been ascribed to different botanical taxa, Dregea volubilis (Linn.f.) Benth. being one such species. A detailed pharmacognosy of vegetative parts of the above species has been dealt within the present paper. This includes organoleptic and microscopic characters, fluorescence analysis of the drug powder and its behaviour on treating with different chemical reagents, preliminary phytochemical studies of various extractives and their TLG patterns and ash values. Some of the salient diagnostic characters revealed by this study are : diarch primary stele in the root, origin of phellogen in the second cortical layer of stem, presence of pericycle as 2 rows of irregularly arranged strands of partially lignified fibres mixed with a few, sclereids, commonly occurring uni- and bi-seriate rays in both the root and the stem, a stout obscurely channelled petiole with three leaf traces, development of red colour in the aqueous extract of powdered root on heating with phloroglucinol and conc.
