Comparative Morphometric Studies of The Habrobracon hebetor-brevicornis and Bracon lefroyi-greeni Complexes of Braconid Wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Braconinae)
Authors: Roni Kumar Singh Longjam , Chandra Ray Dulal
Published: January 2025

The accurate identification of parasitoids is of immense importance to biological control programs. Despite their economic importance and commonly occurring, the taxonomy of Habrobracon hebetor-brevicornis and Bracon lefroyigreeni complexes is difficult and currently confused being cryptic and occurring as distinct populations as well as groups of populations. Thus, there exists confusion in species recognition and the diagnosis of the appropriate host can dramatically affect the outcome of a biological control program. This study focuses on the morphometric variations in females of five biotypes in each complex associated with different hosts and localities. Statistical analyses, such as Unweighted Pair-Group Method Arithmetic Average (UPGMA) cluster analysis, Canonical Discriminant Analysis and Predictive Discriminant Analysis were used to analyse the complexes, and these also enabled the identification of taxonomically important characters in differentiating the population and grouping. The evidence presented here rationalizes the confusion between the species complexes, and the additional morphological characters brought out here will help to resolve the taxonomic complexity.

Authors: Baidya Azmal , Modak Biplob Kumar
Published: January 2025

Eimeria is one of the most important pathogenic parasites in broiler chickens that causes huge economic loss in poultry birds throughout the world including the Purulia district of West Bengal. To study the prevalence of coccidiosis in the broiler chickens of the district, coprological studies were carried out from February 2022 to January 2023. Faecal samples were collected from different poultry farms of the district and examined by the Floatation method (Sheather’s solution) followed by microscopic examination of coccidian oocyst and sporocyst. Species were identified by morphometric Eimeria is one of the most important pathogenic parasites in broiler chickens that causes huge economic loss in poultry birds throughout the world analysis and standard literature. Out of 254 samples examined, 169 samples were found positive for coccidian species, i.e. the prevalence of coccidiosis in broiler chickens of the Purulia district was 66.53%. Altogether six species of Eimeria were recorded of which Eimeria tenella was the most prevalent species (40.55%, 103/254), followed by Eimeria necatrix (12.20%, 31/254), Eimeria maxima (5.51%,14/254), Eimeria mitis (3.54%, 09/254), Eimeria acervulina (2.75%, 7/254) and Eimeria brunetti (1.96%, 5/254). The most common type of mixed infection was found in combination with E. tenella, E. maxima and E. necatrix (33.85%, 86/254), followed by E. tenella, E. maxima (25.19%, 64/254). Interestingly, in most cases, E. tenella, E. mxima and E. necatrix were coexisting in various combinations. E. tenella, E. mxima and E. necatrix were coexist in 33.85%, (86/254) cases, E. tenella and E. necatrix in 25.19% cases (64/254) and E. tenella and E. maxima in 15.35% cases (39/254). The present study also revealed that the infection was more prevalent in the rainy season (91.78%) and less in the summer (31.81%). The present communication intends to conclude that coccidiosis is still a major threat to poor poultry bird keepers of the district.

Authors: Devi Suvarna S. , Alzahaby Mosab Ali , R. Vishnuraj , H.P. Nisanth , A. Shabina , A. Biju Kumar
Published: January 2025

The taxonomy of the order Tetraodontiformes is not well studied from the Indian coast, hence an integrated approach was attempted in this paper. Forty-two species of tetraodontiform fishes classified under 8 families in 25 genera were identified using morpho-molecular approach from southern west coast of India. Tetraodontidae is the most speciose family with fourteen species, followed by Balistidae and Monacanthidae with seven species each; Ostraciidae, Diodontidae, Triacanthodidae and Tricanthidae harbour three species each and Molidae is represented by two species. Eight species collected during the present study are new records to the Kerala coast. DNA barcoding using mitochondrial CO1 gene confirmed 12 species of tetraodontiform fishes. The molecular data of the present study were compared with sequences from GenBank, and the selected published sequences by expert taxonomists were matched for their maximum identity. The heat map shows low pairwise distances between the nearest species, and the phenetic tree shows that the studied species are nested in clades with closely related species.

Seasonal variation of the species complex of necrophagous fly communities from a dry deciduous forest landscape
Authors: Hore Garima , Kar Oishik , Naskar Atanu , Sengupta Jayita , Banerjee Dhriti
Published: January 2025

A plethora of necrophagous insect species exist on or around a cadaver, and a certain chronological sequence of colonization is expected to occur based on their preference, enabling microbial decomposition and aiding in maintaining ecosystem balance. Necrophagous flies comprise the foremost and often the most significant carrion entomofauna, playing crucial ecological roles in the decomposition process. They are therefore significant from both forensic entomological and ecological standpoints. Calliphorids, sarcophagids, and muscids constitute the predominant families of necrophagous flies to colonize carcasses. In the present study, a total of 24 species of necrophagous flies belonging to six dipteran families from three sites of Sonamukhi Protected Forest, Bankura have been documented seasonally. The dipteran families documented in the present study are Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae, Muscidae, Phoridae, Stratiomyidae, and Sepsidae. The present research, a comprehensive account of the seasonal variations of necrophagous fly communities from a dry, deciduous forest landscape, the first of its kind conducted from this region displayed a diverse necrophagous species composition, consisting of 24 species under 12 genera from 6 families. Notably, out of the 24 species recorded in the present study, a total of 4 species were recorded for the first time from this state. Taxa richness tends to decline as environmental quality, favourable climatic conditions decline. The current study reveals that, on a seasonal note, pre-monsoon > monsoon > post-monsoon is favourable for necrophagous community growth and development. Thus, the relevance of the present study is not only limited to the medico-legal forensic entomological context but is also focused on assessing the risk status of the study sites in and around the Sonamukhi forest area with the help of ecological indices and biomonitoring of the study area. Consequently, the presence or absence of the indicator species or indicator community reflects the prevailing environmental conditions.

Published: January 2025

The freshwater fish fauna of Yerla River, Sangli district was studied between 2021 to 2022. It is aimed at making a comprehensive checklist and to find out real anthropogenic threats to the fish fauna of Yerla River. A total of 58 species belonging to 7 orders, 19 families and 40 genera were recorded. Order Cypriniformes were the most dominant one and represents 33 species followed by Siluriformes (13 species), Anabantiformes (4 species), Cichliformes (3 species), Beloniformes (2 species), Synbranchiformes (2 species) and Gobiiformes (1 species). Among these, 17 species are endemic from the Western Ghats and 4 species endemic from the Krishna River System. As per IUCN’s Red list of Threatened Species, 41 species assessed as least concern; 3 species as near threatened; 2 species as vulnerable; 4 species as endangered; 4 species as Data Deficient and the conservation status of one species Pethia sanjaymoluri has not yet been assessed. The fish fauna of the river is threatened due to alien species and some anthropogenic activities like releasing of agricultural effluents, domestic organic wastes and non-degradable plastic materials owing to tourism activities. Since, this small study area hosts 17 endemic and 6 threatened species. Therefore, Yerla River will be the most suitable habitat for conservation of endemic and threatened species.
Habitat selection in Orb weaving spider Nephila pilipes Fabricius,1793 (Araneae: Araneidae): niche complexity determines site selection and distribution of kleptoparasites
Authors: Dash Minakshi , C. Sivaperuman
Published: January 2025

It is believed that slight variations in the physical parameters within the microhabitat can lead to significant differences in the populations of both the host and parasite. The golden orb weaver spider, Nephila pilipes Fabricius, 1793, serves as a host for various kleptoparasites in its web. This study focuses on examining the abundance of Argyrodinae spiders and their presence in relation to the positioning of the web on roadside vegetation in Kamorta, Nancowry Group of Islands, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. We analyzed species abundance using presence or absence data and employed NMDS and PCoA to calculate niche overlap. The total number of specimens collected was assessed using individual rare fractions.
Gratitude for What We Are Owed
Authors: Segal Aaron
Published: January 2025

Many philosophers hold that we never owe others gratitude in return for their treating us in ways that we are owed. Instead, we owe others gratitude only for treating us in ways that go above and beyond the demands of morality. In this paper, I argue that this view is mistaken: we sometimes owe others gratitude for treating us in ways that we are owed. In particular, I argue that some moral duties require us to act in ways that express good will to one another, and when we act in accordance with these duties, we trigger duties of gratitude on the part of others.
The Overweighted Integrity Problem
Authors: Fritz Kyle
Published: January 2025

Most states in the United States have conscience laws protecting conscientious refusal to perform some medical service. Yet many state conscience laws protect providers from being even indirectly involved with some procedure they find objectionable, which can include not only referrals but also simply informing patients of medically indicated but morally contentious options. I argue that such policies are unjust, offering too much protection for integrity in the face of competing values and patient interests. In other words, these policies grant too much weight to integrity. One promising response to this concern is that in addition to integrity, the state should protect professionals so that they avoid complicity that could undermine their moral right to hold others accountable. I argue that this response fails, since it is implausible that these professionals actually lose that right in such contexts. I conclude that these policies should be restricted to better protect patient interests.
Does suicide in New Zealand follow a semi-lunar rhythm?
Authors: Cumin David , Matzke Nicholas , Solomon Rikki
Published: January 2025

The hypothesis that lunar cycles influence human behaviour, particularly incidents recorded by police or coroners, has been a topic
of public and media interest around the world for decades. While connections between lunar cycles and numerous cultural practices
are well-documented, claims that lunar cycles influence crime or suicide statistics have not been consistently supported. There have
been recent media claims that suicide rates in New Zealand follow a lunar cycle, correlating with the Māori Maramataka lunar calendar.
Building on prior research, this study scrutinises the postulated association between lunar phases and suicide rates, for general and
Māori populations.
Utilising 2 decades (2000–2022) of data from the National Coronial Information System (NCIS) and the New Zealand Ministry of Health
– Manatū Hauora, the study employs Poisson regression models and cosine curve analyses. Results reveal no significant correlation
between lunar phases and suicide rates for the overall population or the Māori sub-group. The absence of a lunar effect persists across
univariate and multivariate analyses, incorporating annual, seasonal and day-of-the-week variations.
Contrary to claims linking lunar phases to Māori suicide rates, this study provides a robust analysis of comprehensive suicide data.
While acknowledging potential limitations, such as the diversity among Maramataka systems and unaccounted external factors, this
study emphasises the need for evidence-based practices in mental health interventions. Further research is warranted to explore
potential lunar influences on less severe mental health indicators and to substantiate claims supporting traditional Māori Maramataka-based
treatments.

Published: January 2025

Background: Surgical site infection is a frequently reported adverse outcome of surgical procedures worldwide, impacting the quality-of-care for patients.
Aim: To describe the incidence of surgical site infection among appendectomy, herniorrhaphy and caesarean section patients in Qatar and compare the rates with external benchmarks.
Methods: We conducted this retrospective observational study among all 5127 appendectomy, herniorrhaphy and caesarean section patients admitted at The Cuban Hospital, Qatar, from 2013 to 2023. We analysed the data using SPSS version 22 and MedCalc, we determined the relative risk ratios, 95% CI and P-values, and used Student’s t-test for comparison. A 2-sided α < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Of the 5127 surgeries, 2463 were appendectomies, 751 were herniorrhaphies and 1913 were caesarean sections. Surgical site infections were 2.19% for appendectomy, 2.53% for herniorrhaphy and 2.56% for caesarean section. Surgical site infection decreased over the study period for appendectomy and herniorrhaphy, while it varied with no definite trend for caesarean section. Infection was higher for herniorrhaphy and appendectomy than reported by the National
Healthcare Safety Network and the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium.
Conclusion: The higher incidence of surgical site infection in Qatar than the benchmark countries provides evidence for
stricter hospital infection prevention and control programmes to improve patient safety in the country

A LOW CODE APPROACH TO Q&A ON CARE RECORDS USING FLOWISE AI WITH LLM INTEGRATION AND RAG METHOD
Authors: Hamdhana Defry
Published: January 2025

Care records are vital for monitoring patient conditions and supporting clinical decision-making, but their diverse formats—such as tables, narrative sentences, checklists, and fill-in-the-blank fields—present challenges for efficient information retrieval. Traditional retrieval methods are often time-consuming and error-prone, while automated systems struggle with contextual accuracy in complex medical language. This study proposes a low-code approach to develop a question-and-answer (QA) system for care records using Flowise AI integrated with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) methodology. By utilizing LangChain and OpenAI’s language models, Flowise AI provides a framework for constructing a QA system that retrieves information accurately across different documentation formats. The system employs components such as Recursive Character Text Splitter, PDF processing, OpenAI Embeddings, In-Memory Vector Store, and a Conversational Retrieval QA Chain, ensuring efficient retrieval with contextual relevance. Our results demonstrate high accuracy in aligning the QA responses with ground truth data, validating the system's effectiveness in healthcare documentation retrieval. This low-code solution not only enhances accessibility for non-technical users but also empowers healthcare professionals with a scalable tool for quick access to critical patient data. The findings underscore the potential of low-code AI systems like Flowise AI, utilizing RAG, to improve information retrieval in healthcare, supporting more accurate and timely clinical decisions.

DECODING SEASONAL VARIATIONS THROUGH ARCHAEOASTRONOMY
Authors: Yhome Dzüzienuo
Published: January 2025

Before calendars, ancient cultures tracked the passage of time and seasons by observing the sun’s position and its effect on the environment. This method, known as archaeoastronomy, was essential for agricultural planning, rituals, and understanding seasonal changes.The Angami Nagas, a major tribe that primarily lives in Kohima District of Nagaland similarly used the position of the sun in relation to the mountain ranges to decode seasonal changes. Many ancient cultures have different ways to comprehend seasons, likewise the ancestors of the Angami Nagas from L-Khel, Kohima Village, in the absence of the existence of calendars; seasons were established by employing various cues from nature. They studied the position of the sun which gave inference of the best time for sowing seed and harvesting of crops. Their knowledge of the seasons also came by observing the trees, plants and flowers.The paper titled, “Decoding seasonal variations through archaeoastronomy” is aimed to ascertain the credibility of such techniques, and if such practices can still be employed in establishing seasonal variations despite the current alarming rate of climate change.

A Divine Remembering
Authors: Castro-Altamirano Camilo
Published: January 2025

This paper examines the Gospel of Thomas (GoT), a non-canonical Christian text from the second century CE, while challenging its previous associations with Gnosticism. This paper argues that the Thomasine soteriology (i.e., understanding of salvation) involves a return to a pre-Adamic human nature in the image of God, a position that requires unique reinterpretations of Christian doctrine. First, the paper shows how this gospel presents Jesus as a guide rather than a traditional savior, urging practitioners to embody his teachings to recognize their inherent divinity. It then describes the centrality of Christian asceticism and its role in purifying practitioners for their spiritual journey. The article also explores the importance of Jewish exegetical traditions for the GoT’s soteriology, while also acknowledging its critiques of Jewish laws. The primary goal of this study is to highlight the distinctive soteriology of return of the GoT. Its unique use of various influences to advocate for the realization of inner divinity may provide insight on the diverse nature of Early Christianity.
Interactions Between the Polis and Sanctuary of Delphi
Authors: Brad Danica
Published: January 2025

This article explores the influence of the Delphic Sanctuary of Apollo on the Polis of Delphi. The sanctuary has historically been researched heavily while the polis has been sidelined. The sanctuary was responsible for the majority of the traffic through Delphi due to its oracle’s infamous status. The polis supported and was supported by the sanctuary throughout its lifespan. I used archaeological, epigraphic, and textual evidence to support my claim that the polis existed as a tourist center of the ancient world due to its sanctuary’s notoriety. They built their economy and infrastructure around what it could contribute to and take from its pilgrims. Understanding the role of the Polis of Delphi alongside the sanctuary provides a clear picture of the lived experiences of those both working in and those visiting the sanctuary. Additionally, the polis offers a unique perspective on the civic life of a small, tourist-centric settlement in the ancient world.

The word “crusading” is a well-known and seemingly well-defined word in modern academia. This historiographical paper questions the usage of the word. Using the works of Jonathan Riley-Smith, Jay Rubenstein, Paul M. Cobb, and Christopher Tyerman, the term “crusading” will be explored in its many contexts and uses, especially the conflicting definitions explored by these authors. What is shown is that in both the Middle Ages and modern scholarship, there is not a single universal meaning to the word “crusading”. Instead, there is a spectrum of different motivations and actions that are classified as “crusading” by modern scholarship. This makes the term “crusading” so broad that it ultimately loses its meaning. This essay compares various modern interpretations of what crusading means in an effort to emphasise how contradictory these definitions have become.

Tu formación académica diversa, háblanos un poco acerca de tu formación y cómo decidiste orientar tu educación. Lo primero es que me encantan las matemáticas y la física. Cuando estaba en el colegio hice una prueba de aptitud, y me salió que podía estudiar lo que quisiera, y yo pensé: gracias, pero no me sirve ¿qué debería estudiar? Creo que la primera carrera que me salió fue medicina, pero me daba miedo ser cirujana la verdad tener a la vida a alguien en las manos me daba miedo entonces dije no. La segunda opción era ingeniería entonces le pregunté a la persona que me hizo la prueba ¿qué es lo que más tiene física y matemáticas? Y curiosamente en vez de decirme estudia física y matemáticas me sugirieron ingeniería mecánica. Creí que estudiar ingeniería mecánica era ser inventora, después, hablando con un amigo en la universidad, descubrí que ingeniería electrónica, estaba súper chévere, y tenía más matemáticas y más física. Así que, en realidad me terminó gustando más electrónica, y en el fondo me siento un poquito más como ingeniera electrónica. Me encantó, me enfoqué en sistemas de control, hice maestría en eso, estaba muy orientada hacia la academia. Estudiando en la Universidad de los Andes en Colombia, y desde allá hice un énfasis en educación, mis intereses siempre han sido muy variados y me he dejado llevar por lo que me gusta, no importa que no combinen. Así que estudie ingeniería mecánica, ingeniería electrónica y opción de educación.

La amenaza cuántica. El día “Q” y sus implicaciones para la seguridad global
Authors: Cano Martínez Jeimy José
Published: January 2025

El “Día Q” marca un punto de inflexión en la ciberseguridad global: el día en que las computadoras cuánticas tengan la capacidad de romper los algoritmos criptográficos clásicos, que protegen gran parte de la información sensible a nivel mundial. Aunque la llegada precisa de este día es incierta, las fuentes coinciden en que la amenaza es real y requiere una acción inmediata por parte de Estados y organizaciones. Esta breve reflexión hace una revisión los desafíos claves de esta amenaza cuántica revisando algunos de los algoritmos vigentes para la seguridad de las comunicaciones por internet, los retos de la migración a algoritmos poscuánticos y el plan de migración que se debe concretar para limitar las consecuencias por la materialización de esta amenaza. En este sentido, la planeación estratégica, la colaboración y una visión integral se convierten en el marco de trabajo básico para disminuir la amenaza, reducir la vulnerabilidad y mitigar los impactos para hacer más resiliente la infraestructura de seguridad y control global y empresarial.

Published: January 2025

Aerial applications of pesticides for adult mosquito control have emerged as effective tools in integrated mosquito management due to wider reach compared with ground-based methods. A key determinant for efficacy is the swath or line of spray deposition. This study aimed to assess the potential of aerial buffer sprays, which specifically target mosquito habitats, in comparison to traditional full-area aerial and ground-based applications. The efficacy and cost implications of these methods were evaluated in hot spot areas of St. Johns County, FL. Mosquito populations in 4 areas, 2 for buffer aerial (St. Johns County Golf Course and World Golf Village), 1 for full aerial (Flagler Estate), and 1 for ground-based (Elkton) treatments, were assessed using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention light traps baited with octenol. Following treatments, mosquito population reductions and service request changes were evaluated. For aerial applications, the organophosphate naled was used, while ground applications used the pyrethroid Aqualuer® 20-20. Buffer aerial applications averaged 668.5 ha, significantly smaller than full aerial treatments (3750.2 ha). Cost and volume for buffer applications were notably lower ($1,998.47 and 34.1 liters) than full treatments ($10,558.40 and 180.6 liters). Mosquito populations posttreatment showed a 63.6% reduction for buffer applications, 59% for full aerial applications, and a 52% increase for ground-based treatments. Service request reductions were varied, with a slight increase (0.13%) after buffer aerial treatments and substantial reductions after full aerial (29.4%) and ground applications (87.5%). Buffer aerial applications demonstrated potential as an effective and cost-efficient method for mosquito control in targeted habitats. Although further evaluations are essential, such strategies could reshape mosquito management practices in regions similar to the Anastasia Mosquito Control District of St. Johns County.
Surfactants in electrochemical applications: A review
Authors: Fatma Abouzeid  , Sultanah Alshammery
Published: January 2025

Surfactants have been commonly used as corrosion inhibitors to protect metallic materials against corrosion. Also used as additives for electropolishing baths to improve surface texture. The amphiphilic nature of surfactant molecules creates an affinity for adsorption at interfaces such as metal/metal oxide–water interface. The adsorption of surfactants on metals and metal oxides creates a barrier that can inhibit corrosion. The surfactant's properties and the surfactant's interaction with metal or metal oxide and the surrounding solution environments determine the level of adsorption and corrosion inhibition.

Published: January 2025

Medicinal plants have played a crucial role in the treatment of malaria, providing a foundation for some of the most effective antimalarial drugs, such as quinine from Cinchona and artemisinin from Artemisia annua. These plants are rich in bioactive compounds with potent antimalarial properties, making them valuable in combating malaria, particularly in regions with limited access to synthetic drugs. However, their use is not without challenges, including variability in efficacy, safety concerns, and the emergence of drug-resistant Plasmodium strains. Despite these limitations, the integration of medicinal plants into modern therapies offers significant potential for innovation, such as developing combination treatments, biotechnological advancements for consistent production, and personalized medicine approaches. Additionally, promoting the cultivation of medicinal plants can support sustainable healthcare solutions in malaria-endemic regions. As research advances, medicinal plants will continue to play a vital role in addressing drug resistance and providing accessible, culturally relevant malaria treatments.
