INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT ODOURS ON THE ASSOCIATIVE LEARNING OF LARVAL PARASITOID COTESIA PLUTELLAE (K.) (HYMENTOPTERA: BRACONIDAE)
Authors: Kapinder  , Tarkeshwar  , Kumar Singh Ashok
Published: February 2022

The ability of insect parasitoids to learn a wide range of volatiles enables them to exploit the habitats while still maintaining their searching efficiency and achieving efficient rates of oviposition. In the present study, learning of Cotesia plutellae adults on various inexperienced odours and their memory dynamics has been studied. The odours either repelled or acted as neutral stimulus under unexperienced condition. However, they were found to be equally efficient to associate the novel odour viz. coriander, rose, vanilla, and citral with food source in an olfactometer. After experiencing the wasps with different odours, the memory of rose and coriander odour remained for more than four hours but the memory faded on vanilla and citral within four hours. It was also found that thelearning in these wasps depended on the duration of exposure to the odour while feeding on food source. The C. plutellae females could learn two odours at a time and responded to both odours in olfactometer when provided individually. Females did not show any preference for learned odour of vanilla and citral when both were provided in two choice condition in the olfactometer. But female preferred the rose odour over vanilla in the olfactometer after experiencing both the odour. This finding can be utilized to design the innundative release of the parasitoids. Growing coriander or rose flower in the vicinity of field and experiencing the wasps to these odours before releasing into field can arrest these parasitoids in the field which ultimately increase parasitisation and can become a key factor for the success of biological control program.

Published: February 2022

: The study was carried out to evaluate the influence and suitability of various organic wastes on growth and reproduction of the epigeic earthworm, E. fetida maintained at uncontrolled laboratory environmental conditions. There was a much variation in biomass, growth rate and cocoon production by this earthworm in different organic wastes such as False Ashoka Waste-FAW (Polyalthia longifolia), Parthenium Waste- PW (Parthenium hysterophorus), Cotton Residue Waste- CRW (Gossypium), Lawn Grass Waste- LGW (Agrostis) and Control- Cattle manure-CM used in these experiments. The mean maximum (923.54 ±1122.59) and minimum (481.47±56.13) biomass of worm was observed in PW and FAW respectively. The mean growth rate of worm was 6316.10±529.36, 11836.00±1086.30, 9053.00±807.22, 6969.00±582.42, 10842.00±1011.50 observed in FAW, PW, CRW, LGW and CM (control) respectively. There is a significant variation (P0.05) in both worm biomass and growth rate of worms was observed among all the organic wastes, whereas no significant variation was noticed in between different organic wastes, except between PW & FAW, CM & FAW, LGW & PW and CM & LGW in biomass and between LGW & FAW; CM & PW and CM & CRW in growth rate respectively.

The attainment of sexual maturity and 100% maturity was observed early in Control-CM on 6 th week and 8th week followed by all other organic wastes on 7 th week and 9th week respectively. The maximum cocoon production worm/week was observed in Control-CM with 2.86±0.37 followed by CRW (2.16±0.30), PW (2.11±0.30), FAW (1.95±0.27) and it was least in LGW (1.28±0.18). The cumulative cocoon number (CCN)/worm for 17 weeks was 33.27, 35.95, 36.77, 21.77, and 48.65 in FAW, PW, CRW, LGW, and CM respectively. Significant difference (P0.05) was also noticed in cocoon production among and between different organic wastes, except between PW & FAW, CRW & FAW and CRW & PW. Based on the results, it can be concluded that biomass, growth rate, attainment of sexual maturity and cocoon production of the epigeic earthworm, E. fetida were influenced much by different organic wastes, that inturn affect on the production of quantity and quality vermicompost and worm multiplication during vermicomposting process. This work also suggests that epigeic earthworms are very much choosy in selection of particular type of organic wastes for their growth, development and cocoon production
BIOCHAR IN CATTLE FARMING: AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION FOR SOIL FERTILITY AND CATTLE PRODUCTIVITY
Authors: Burezq Hana’a
Published: February 2022

Biochar as a soil amendment is increasingly popular in agricultural sector in the past few years. The production and application of biochar is increasing in a constant rate to meet farm requirements. Biochar is similar to charcoal and activated charcoal, which are pyrogenic carbonaceous matter derived from organic carbon rich matter through pyrolysis. The primary products generated by pyrolysis are biochar, syngas and bio-oils depending on biomass and pyrolysis conditions. The quality of biochar is according to primary biomass source, pyrolysis temperature and time which ultimately effects on variations in physicochemical properties such as porosity, carboncontent, elemental composition, surface area, retention capacity and overall applications. While biochar has been receiving attention as a restorative soil amendment, innovative dimensions for this ultra-porous material are cropping up all over the industrial landscape. In recent times, biochar has been gaining attention in agricultural productivity not as a soil fertility agent, but as an animal feed and animal husbandry applications. Biochar a carbonized biomass similar to charcoal is utilized for treating animals for centuries. An enhanced utility of biochar as cattle feed globally, to improve animal health, increased nutrient intake efficiency and thus productivity. Since biochar is enriched with nitrogen rich organic compounds during the digestion process, the excreted biochar manure acts as a valuable organic fertilizer causing lower nutrient losses and green house gas emissions during storage and soil application. The use of biochar as feed additive has the ability for general body fitness of animals, increased feed efficiency, minimize nutrient losses and greenhouse gas emission, increase the soil organic matter content and thus soil fertility as applied to soil. It can maintain blood cell contents, increase egg, milk and meat productivity and able to resist pathogens in gastrointestinal tract and reduce methane emission from animals. Moreover, the high sorption capacity of biochar removes the pollutants and toxins from the gastrointestinal tract of animals. However, current awareness on effectiveness of biochar in animal production is less, which should be explored more. The challenges such as safety, dosages, contaminations, cost and awareness among farmers need to be addressed. The review highlights the potential benefits of biochar as animal feed in all possible dimensions
GMSS2.0: An Enhanced Software Program for Stochastic Finite-Fault Ground-Motion Simulation
Authors: Tang Yuxiang
Published: February 2022

This article introduces an enhanced software program for stochastic ground-motion simulations using finite-fault sources, named Ground-Motion Simulation System version 2.0 (GMSS2.0). GMSS2.0 embodies an updated theoretical model of corner frequency and source duration, making the seismological model for defining the Fourier amplitude spectrum for each subfault more theoretically consistent. In addition, GMSS2.0 provides four rupture scaling relationships and five baseline correction techniques for end users to select the most suitable one for a specific application. For validation purposes, comprehensive comparisons between GMSS2.0 and EXtended SIMulation (EXSIM) for wide ranges of magnitude (M 4–8), distance (∼6–300 km) and spectral period (0.01–10 s) have been performed. The results show that GMSS2.0 can give remarkably close estimates to EXSIM with reasonable levels of accuracy. Finally, further validation is performed by comparing GMSS2.0 simulations with five Next Generation Attenuation-West2 ground-motion models for multiple scenario earthquakes with the updated site amplification for the generic California condition (VS30=500  m/s).

At present, to develop new, scientifically justified, technologiesof an accompanying therapy to improve the oncological situationis a challenge to health care. A therapy to accompany aspecific cancer treatment in case of a malignant process in anorganism is dictated by the necessity to raise the nonspecific resistanceof the organism in cancer patients. In this case, originalmethodological approaches to initiate the mechanisms of thenonspecific resistance have been developed on the basis of thetheory of the adaptational reactions. Within the framework ofthe above theory, some concepts of relationship between thespecific and nonspecific anti-tumor processes have been extensivelydeveloped that may be successfully applied to solvingtasks of the National Health Care Program.Aim. The aim hereof is to introduce the theoretical basics ofthe nonspecific adaptation regulation and control by a tumor-bearing organism into practice for an integrated treatmentof malignant tumors with the use of the activation therapy technologies.Materials and methods.

Published: February 2022

Nutritional supplements have always been a point of attractionfor physically active people. These have improved exercise performance,increased muscular strength, weight gain or weight loss,etc. The irrational use of supplements has led to various side effectsassociated with them. There is a shortage of evidence suggestingthe usage and knowledge regarding the consumption ofdietary supplements. A cross-sectional study was conducted witha 121 sample size randomly chosen from 5 different zones of thecity. A structured questionnaire was designed to collect informationwherein participants reported their demographics, physical activity,supplement usage patterns, source of information, and side effects.Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, was used with p<0.05 as significant.Samples used different dosages, forms, brands, and accessto supplements. The participants coming to the gym for moreextended periods were likely to consume supplements in higherdosages (p = 0.020). Protein powder was consumed by 97.5% ofthe samples. There was a significant association between differenttypes of supplements across gender, age group, and period of exercisingin the gym. Side effects such as cramps (p = 0.015) andnausea were significantly associated with high dosages of supplementconsumption. The majority of them (51.2%) took advice fromtrainers. Only 9.9% consulted dieticians. Individuals consumed supplementswithout the guidance of any health professionals, whichwas predisposing them to various side effects. This reflects a lackof knowledge and awareness of supplement usage and highlightseducating various stakeholders and gym-goers.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading causeof death worldwide. Intravascular imaging is an important toolin the arsenal of each interventional cardiologist. While angiographyprovides a two-dimensional image of a three-dimensionalstructure, intravascular imaging enhances understanding by providingdetailed cross-sectional images. This study aimed to investigatethe discrepancies in coronary vessel sizing between quantitativecoronary angiography (QCA) and intravascular ultrasound.Methods: This cohort study was conducted on 69 patients whowere referred for elective coronary angiography. Patients weresubjected to history taking, examination, blood samples, electrocardiogram(E.C.G.), and echocardiography. Then, a comparisonof each vessel’s luminal diameter by QCA and IVUS was done.Results: The study included 69 patients; The mean age was 54.7± 9.7. There was a statistically significant difference between thestudied vessels regarding the discrepancy between luminal diametersmeasured by IVUS and QCA. IVUS luminal diameter waslarger than QCA luminal diameter (the median difference in measuresof QCA and IVUS in the left main artery, LAD, LCX, and RCAwere -0.8, -0.55, -0.4, and -0.5 respectively). Furthermore, thereis a statistically significant difference between the studied vesselsregarding the presence of a difference >0.75 mm between theluminal diameters measured by IVUS and QCA (Difference >0.75mm in the left main artery, LAD, left circumflex and RCA were55.8%, 21.7%, 30.8%, and 15.4% respectively). Conclusion: Coronarylesions were underestimated by QCA in comparison to IVUSregarding luminal diameter, especially the left main (LM).

Authors: Majidinia Mahdi , Akbarnejad Mahdi , Reza Hosseininia Seyed Mohammad
Published: February 2022

Some orientalists have cast doubts upon the Holy Quran stating that the book has been distorted (it has been subject to Tahrif). Sometimes, these orientalists refer to some incorrect information to justify this rumor. One of those people is the German orientalist, Reiner Bruner. In this study, Bruner's viewpoints on both Shiite and Sunnites’ beliefs in the 20th century are discussed. In this study, Bruner’s viewpoints on the distortion of Quran are briefly analyzed and criticized. The method of this study is descriptive-analytical.  Furthermore, based on authentic documents, this study responds Bruner's claims. In some of his works, Bruner has attributed the rumor of distortion to some early Shiite scholars. This article confirms that most Shiite scholars including the earliest and the most recent ones do not accept the distortion of Holy Quran. Most Shiite scholars believe that Quran is pure from any kind of distortion including additions or omissions and they refer to the verses of the Quran, the narratives of the Innocent Imams (Hadith) and the words of some greate Shiite scholars.

A Study of Various Woman-Centered Readings of the Qur’an in Contemporary Times
Authors: Mohases Marzieh
Published: February 2022

The Qur’an interpretation methods have always changed and modified throughout history. Textualism is the most accepted approach among traditional exegetes, and proponents of this approach mainly analyze the linguistics of the Qur’an to discover its meaning, which is often assumed to be fixed and unchanging. Unlike textualists, the contextualists in the interpretation of the Qur’an are mostly Muslim reformists who believe that the interpretation of the text of the Qur’an should be based on information about the social and cultural conditions at the time of the revelation of the Qur’an. In other words, contextual scholars have not only resorted to linguistic analysis to understand the meaning of the Qur’an, but have resorted to various approaches. In the present study, after examining the emergence of a woman-centered approach in the interpretation of the Qur’an, the culmination of a woman-centered approach in the interpretation of the Qur’an is focused and 3 types of feminine readings of Qur’anic verses were introduced as historical contextualization, extraction of general Qur’anic principles and feminist hermeneutics.

Authors: Warui Jane Wachera , Ogola Martin , Nderitu John
Published: February 2022

Guidance and counseling programs have been implemented in Kenyan secondary schools to help students improve their personal, social, and academic skills. The success of these programs, however, has been questioned due to a paucity of studies attempting to clarify this idea, a problem that this study discussed. The aim of this study was to look at the current state and challenges of guidance and counseling. The study's aim was to ascertain the types of services available for implementing guidance and counseling programs, as well as the most common cases of indiscipline among secondary school students. Noise making, theft, property damage, and truancy were found to be the most common forms of indiscipline in schools, according to the report. According to the findings, the schools under investigation have a long way to go in terms of maintaining disciplinary management by supervision and counseling. According to the report, schools can first invite parents, churches, other supporters, and the surrounding community to endorse guidance and counseling programs for students' social adjustment. Secondly, the Ministry of Education should reinforce guidance and counselling units in the implementation of the program in schools by requiring all teacher counsellors who do not have basic guidance and counselling training to attend mandatory in-service training. Finally, the Ministry of Education should make peer counseling training more accessible so that advice and support can be provided.

Background: Assessing the prevalence of infections, which are preventable by vaccination, is crucial to monitor the vaccination program efficacy, and it can demonstrate the gaps in population immunity. The current study attempted to assess the specific Immunoglobulin (IgG) antibody against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) in Iranian children and adolescents, years after their vaccination.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Iran. Serum samples of 2100 students, aged 7-18 years, included in a national health survey, were tested for MMR antibodies by ELISA assay. Multistage random cluster sampling was used to select subjects from 30 provinces in Iran.
Results: Overall, 1871, 1718, and 1678 serums were tested for measles, mumps, and rubella antibodies, respectively. The prevalence of positive test was 1231 (65.8%) for measles, 1327 (77.2%) for mumps and 1344 (80.1%) for rubella.
Conclusion: Despite high vaccination coverage in Iran, IgG antibody against measles, mumps, and rubella was not detected in a considerable proportion of children and adolescents aged 7-18 years. In case of contacts with residents of other countries, where measles or rubella have not yet been eliminated, it may create problems for Iranian children.

Climate change will exacerbate environmental threats, which will, in turn, affect agricultural production patterns. This study addresses the feasibility of using Sentinel-2 (S2) optical remote sensing data to map the consequences of heatwaves on vineyard plots. The proposed method to map damaged and undamaged vineyards is based on the use of an inter-annual (C1) and an intra-annual (C2) criterion derived from the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) calculated on S2 data. While the inter-annual criterion compares the NDVI of the heatwave year to the average NDVI of the previous years with no heatwave, the intra-annual criterion compares the NDVI values before and after the heatwave in the same year. Predictions from either criteria or both combined were tested against two datasets collected during two field surveys performed in 2020 and 2021, with different ways of recording the damage caused on the grapevine by the 2019 heatwave in southeastern France. Results showed that within the reference vineyard plots with heat damage, 46 %, 62 % and 40 % of the S2 pixels were correctly predicted as damaged using C1, C2 and their combination, respectively. Within undamaged plots, 91 %, 88 % and 99 % of the S2 pixels were correctly predicted as undamaged using C1, C2 and the combination, respectively. Results also showed that only severe leaf damage was detected using the S2 NDVI. The combination of C1 and C2 provides the most accurate detection of heatwave consequences on vineyards.
