Published: December 2024

Genetic editing has become a pivotal biotechnology tool in healthcare, enabling precise manipulation of DNA through insertions, deletions, modifications, or replacements. Its applications have expanded from treating monogenic diseases to addressing polygenic conditions, including potential mental health therapies. This study examines public sentiment and ethical considerations surrounding genetic editing systems like CRISPR- Cas9, zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs). Analyzing a decade of medical literature, the research highlights a growing public acceptance of these technologies despite ethical concerns, such as off-target effects and unintended consequences. Positive sentiment trends indicate that social acceptance may support the integration of genetic editing in mental health treatments, driving advancements in healthcare. Addressing risks, including long-term impacts and ethical dilemmas, remains critical for responsible implementation. As public attitudes continue to improve, genetic editing may become a widely accepted therapeutic approach, fostering innovation in healthcare. Future research should focus on mitigating risks and enhancing the safety and efficacy of genetic editing to ensure its sustainable development and adoption.
Exploring the Role of Senescent Cells in Neurodegenerative Pathology: A Window Into Promising Therapeutic Avenues
Authors: Bentolila Gabriela , Agrawal Niharika , Julie Phung  , Van Linh , Trivedi Gatik
Published: December 2024

There is strong evidence that cellular senescence is involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Presence of abnormal tau protein in mouse models is implicated in senescence phenotypes leading to cognitive decline, while the significance of pro-inflammatory molecules called senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASPs) in inflammation and degeneration highlights its potential importance in disease treatment. Understanding the involvement of senescence in disease progression is vital to develop effective treatment strategies. Clearance of such cells can be performed through senolytics drugs that disturb non-apoptosis pathways. Alternatively, senomorphics involve the suppression of senescence burden, rather than elimination through apoptosis, through the intervention of SASP factors that elicit neuroinflammation and tau toxicity. Other therapeutic approaches involve targeting mitochondrial dysfunction to attenuate neuroinflammation and senescence stressors, thereby preventing the formation of a feedback loop. This review offers insights into the mechanisms of neuro-degeneration driven by cellular senescence in the brain and outlines novel therapeutic strategies to reduce the senescence burden and slow disease progression.

Salah satu usaha yang menjamur di masyarakat di wilayah kota dan kabupatan pekalongan yaitu bisnis bengkel pengelasan. Segmen pasar pada usaha bengkel las di tersebut tergolong sama yaitu produk yang digunakan pada sektor perumahan, seperti pagar, teralis pintu, tangga dan lain-lain. Pengelasan pada kelompok usaha bengkel las ini kebanyakan menggunakan Las SMAW. Las SMAW adalah sebuah proses penyambungan logam yang menggunakan energi panas untuk mencairkan benda kerja dan elektroda (bahan pengisi). Energi panas pada proses pengelasan SMAW dihasilkan karena adanya lompatan ion (katoda dan anoda) listrik yang terjadi pada ujung elektroda dan permukaan material. Pada proses pengelasan SMAW jenis pelindung yang digunakan adalah selaput flux yang terdapat pada elektroda. Flux pada elektroda SMAW berfungsi untuk melindungi logam las yang mencair saat proses pengelasan berlangsung. Flux  ini akan menjadi slag ketika sudah padat Logam induk dalam pengelasan ini mengalami pencairan akibat pemanasan dari busur listrik yang timbul antara ujung elektroda dan permukaan benda kerja yang mengakibatkan hasil pengelasan tidak baik atau cacat produk. Tujuan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah untuk membantu UMKM bengkel las dalam upaya meningkatkan hasil kuliatas produk lasan dengan mengenalkan dan memberikan edukasi terkait penggunaan alat las MIG dan MAG. Alat ini las MIG-MAG  ini memiliki beberapa keunggulan dibandingkan las  SMAW diantaranya : aliran gas argon maupun gas CO2  pada pengelasan GMAW menjadikan hasil lasan tidak teroksidai oleh udara dari luar, hasil lasan lebih kuat karena penetrasi las yang dalam dan ketahanan korosi lebih tinggi, pusat panas sangat kecil sehingga menimalisir terjadinya cacat burn through atau hasil lasan berlubang. Target luaran yang dihasilkan dari solusi ini adalah mengenalkan metode pengelasan yang lain yaitu pengelasan MIG-MAG dengan cara melakukan pelatihan penggunaan las MIG-MAG serta melakukan pendampingan untuk montoring keterampilan pekerja las.

Deposition of layers of ethanolic extract of waste pineapple crown on mild steel through drop casting and examination of their corrosion behavior
Authors: Ji Gopal , Singh Manvandra Kumar , Kumar Vineet
Published: December 2024

Corrosion causes serious damage to the metals and decreases their usefulness as well as economic values. Inhibitors are generally used to control corrosion of metals. However, synthetic inhibitors are being used in limited conditions due to environment and cost concerns. The waste natural
materials (WNM) have become the preference choice of the scientists for corrosion prevention applications. A WNM provide a cost effective, efficient, and economic solution of corrosion of metals. The present work examines the effectiveness of a WNM, pineapple crown (PC), against the mild steel
(MS) corrosion in 0.5 M sodium chloride (NaCl). PC has been extracted into ethanol (EEPC) and characterized by FTIR spectroscopy (FS) and UV-visible spectroscopy (US). The EEPC layers (1-3) are coated on MS through drop casting using simple set-up, and coated MS has been tested for corrosion
prevention by open circuit potential (OCP), Tafel polarization curves (TC), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results have confirmed that EEPC layers significantly prevent MS in NaCl. However, the best performance is obtained for 2 layers of EEPC (80%, TC). The surface
images are clicked by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), which shows that EEPC has covered most of the places on the MS surface after coating and effectively protected MS in NaCl. The similar observations are recorded with atomic force microscope (AFM). Based on the overall
results, a mechanism for corrosion prevention has also been introduced.

The Geopolitical Dimension of 21st November 1971 Celebrated as the Armed Forces Day of Bangladesh
Authors: Islam Khan Mohammad Zahidul
Published: December 2024

The combined offensive of 21 November 1971 – now celebrated as Bangladesh’s Armed Forces Day—marked India’s first overt military engagement in support of Bangladesh’s ongoing Liberation War, which was intensified following the attack. However, India opted for a ‘strategic pause’ until December 3. This paper explores India’s compulsions for the pause, Pakistan’s reactions, and the significance of the military offensive from Bangladesh's perspective through a geopolitical lens. Examining relevant official records of the United Nations, the Indian Lok Sabha and Bangladesh’s provincial government, the paper finds that to draw international legitimacy, India opted for a strategic pause relegating her military intervention in the East as an ‘insignificant prelude.’ Pakistan's pre-emptive strike in the West on 3 December 1971 exposed her to further international obloquy as an ‘aggressor’ and ‘initiator,’ transforming the Liberation War into an ‘Indo-Pak’ war. From Bangladesh's perspective, the November offensive was not a ‘precursor,’ but a continuation, an inevitable merger of the two forces, while retaining Bangladesh’s political authority and ownership of the war amidst a complex geopolitical context. The course followed by Bangladesh and India was guided by geopolitical considerations—exemplifying Clausewitz's maxim that war is an instrument of (geo)politics by other means.
Voices in the Shadows: A Review of Minority Women's Rights in South Asia
Authors: Das Dola
Published: December 2024

This review delves into the systemic marginalization faced by minority women in South Asia, highlighting the complex challenges arising from their gender, ethnicity, religion, and economic status. Even with strong international human rights frameworks such as CEDAW, challenges remain due to deep-rooted social norms, weak institutions, and economic disparities. This paper delves into the ways patriarchal systems, religious nationalism, and caste discrimination intensify the challenges faced by minority women, leading to ongoing violence and marginalization. The study uses frameworks like intersectionality, postcolonial feminism, and institutional theory to pinpoint major obstacles, such as lack of resources and the clash between global standards and local situations. Suggestions involve promoting diverse, tailored strategies and strengthening grassroots advocacy initiatives.

Responses of Satureja hortensis essential oils and H2O2  treatments were estimated in plants testing positive being infected with Potato Virus  S (PVS), under drought conditions. Infected and uninfected microplants transferred to a green-house were injected with a Satureja hortensis essential oils suspension and sprayed twice a week with H2O2. The presence of virus decreased significantly catalase activity (CAT). Under drought stress, peroxidase (POX) activity increased significantly in infected plants, but the treatments only enhanced POX activity in uninfected plants compared to the CAT activity in the same experimental condition. An interesting role of Satureja hortensis essential oils and H2O2 in lessening the potato PVS infected microplants behavior is suggested.

Published: December 2024

The yield, expressed as the production of grapes per surface unit or per plant, plays a role of first importance in the set of factors on which wine production and its quality depend. The control of the yield and the possibilities of intervention for its adjustment are of major importance especially for obtaining high quality wines. Cluster thinning at fallow has proven to be a very effective method to regulate the yield and quality of grape production by increasing sugar content and decreasing total acidity. The vine will have the opportunity to ripen a smaller number of grapes in the interval from véraison to harvest. In this study, cluster thinning resulted in larger and riper grapes remaining at harvest compared to the control where the number of grapes per cluster was not reduced.

Published: December 2024

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the most important plant cultivated in our country and in more than 100 countries around the world. Providing plenty of food to feed Earth's population is a concern for humanity. This paper present the results obtained at National Agricultural Research and Development Institute Fundulea, during 2022-2023, according to the herbicide treatments: Floramix (70.8 g/kg piroxsulam + 14.2 g/kg florasulam + 70.8 g/kg cloquintocet - mexil (safener)+ Dasoil 26-N (adjuvant); Omnera (fluroxipir 135 g/l + tifensulfuron metil 30 g/l + metsulfuron metil     5g/l)+Foxtrot(fenoxaprop-P-etil 69 g/l + cloquintocet mexil 34.5 g/l (safener); Pallas (7.5% piroxsulam + 7.5% cloquintocet-mexil safener) + adjuvant, postemergently applied -BBCH 32-, for the weeds controlling from the wheat crop. The main objective of this work focused on the study of the selectivity and effectiveness of the application of herbicide treatments to combat the weeds present in the crop. The weather from the experimentation years is representative for the local trend.In the wheat crop, the application of herbicide treatments must be correlated with the infestation degree, the spectrum and dominance of the weeds, the time of application and the pedoclimatic conditions.
ASPECTS OF VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION IN VANILLA PLANIFOLIA Andrews
Authors: CRUCERU Sonia
Published: December 2024

Vanilla planifolia Andrews is part of the Fam. Orchidaceae and is the only orchid of significant economic importance because vanillin is extracted from its fruits and seeds, a very expensive spice valued in the food and pharmaceutical, perfumery and cosmetic industries. This paper presents aspects related to the vegetative propagation of vanilla under the conditions of the greenhouses of the Botanical Garden of the University of Craiova. The vanilla plants from which the cuttings used for rooting were harvested are vanilla specimens existing in the collection of tropical and subtropical plants of the botanical garden. Four types of linen substrates were used: Mt - tree bark; V1- pearlite; V2- fibrous peat; V3- mold leaf and the cuttings were fragments of a shoot with two nodes. Because of the stability, the most suitable substrates for the rooting of the cuttings and the development of the formed roots were found to be those composed of perlite (V1) and fibrous peat (V2). Rooted cuttings were potted in a substrate mixture of forest moss and fibrous peat. The plants thus had a good evolution, their survival rate being 100%.

Published: December 2024

Wheat is an important food source worldwide and plays a strategic role in terms of food security and economy. In order to meet increasing food needs, it is important to develop regionally adapted, productive and high quality wheat varieties. Nitrogen is the main nutrient that directly affects wheat yield, but its overuse can cause yield loss. Timing and management of nitrogen application are decisive factors in increasing yield. Furthermore, the interaction between water availability and nitrogen plays a major role in wheat growth and yield. Integrated management of nitrogen and water can increase yields, while stress conditions such as drought can limit yields. Future research should develop strategies to improve nitrogen efficiency while considering environmental sustainability. A total of 7 genotypes including 4 local bread wheat genotypes, 2 durum wheat varieties, 1 local siyez wheat collected from the villages of the Southeastern Anatolia region, which is the homeland of wheat plant, were used. The experiment was established with four replications according to split plots experimental design at 4 nitrogen doses. Yield and yield characteristics were determined. Svevo and fırat93 were the most favourable genotypes in terms of most traits among the genotypes. Among the local genotypes, GYE4 and GYE3 had the highest values for breeding studies.
