Authors: Koirala Niranjan
Published: October 2021

Probiotics are live microbial strains that have a positive impact on human health by maintaining the gut microflora. Probiotics are present in fermented food products. Out of many probiotics, most belongs to Lactobacillus genera which are also used in commercial food products. Yoghurt is a potential source of probiotic lactobacilli. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyse the probiotic properties of isolated Lactobacillus spp. from different five commercial brand of yoghurt that are famous in Kathmandu valley. All the isolate was identified on the basis of their morphological and biochemical characteristics. These identified isolates were further examined to analyze the probiotic properties which includes tolerance to inhibitory substances like phenol(0.4%), Nacl (1-9%) and bile acid (0.1-1%); the ability to grow in acidic (pH 2.5) and alkaline (pH8.5) condition and their antimicrobial activities along with susceptibility to selected nine antibiotics which was determined by disk diffusion method. The result of this present study indicates that the isolates from commercial yoghurts sample fulfill the most common criteria of probiotic bacteria with slight variation among the sample in different properties.

Authors: Berezin Alexander 
Published: October 2021

Heart failure (HF) is a major factor contributing to premature death in patients with established cardiovascular (CV) disease. Current cell therapies of HF based on at least two different approaches, in which stem cell transplantation and extracellular vesicles (EV) received from pre-treated cells, were used. Although in HF restoring cardiac function aimed improve survival is target of cell therapy, it is not yet yielded whether isolated EVs from circulating progenitor cells, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), human embryonic stem cells-derived CV progenitors (hESC-Pg) would be effective translators of reparative signals for cardiac repair. The short communication is depicted the role of different cell strategies in HF. It has emphasized lack of strong evidence of clinical advantages implanted EVs to human cells to iPSCs in HF requires comparison in large clinical trials.
Antibacterial and Anticancer Property of Bromelain: A Plant Protease Enzyme from Pineapples (Ananas comosus)
Authors: Mamo Jermen
Published: October 2021

Bromelain is an extract isolated from pineapple (Ananas comosus) mainly containing proteinase. It is a crude, aqueous extract from the stems and fruits of pineapples (Ananas comosus) derived from Bromeliaceae family. It has showed significant antibacterial activity against gram negative and gram positive bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Corynebacterium spp, Streptococcus sanguis (10556 ATCC), Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Proteus spp and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The anti- bacterial mechanism of bromelain is not well known but it may inhibit the growth of bacteria through hydrolysis of some peptide bonds present in the bacterial cell wall. Bromelain also showed significant anticancer activity against breast cancer cells, melanoma cells, human epidermoid carcinoma cells, malignant peritoneal mesothelioma cells and mammary carcinoma cells. The major anticancer mechanism of bromelain is by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation and inducing differentiation of leukemic cells.

The present study was carried out to checked the elevation of hypertension level and risk factors associated with hypertension in the different educational sectors of Mainwali district. The questionnaire was design to obtained the data, which comprises of three parts i.e. part one comprises of demographic records (Age, weight etc), second were related to life style character (obesity, physical inactivity etc) and third one consist of the elements in blood like calcium, sodium, potassium, ferritin level and HB%. Basic descriptive statistical analysis, Chi – square test and odd square estimation was used to analyse the data. The result showed that the demographic characters are main cause of hypertension. Increasing age (above 40 year), weight (above 63) and body mass index cause elevation of blood pressure. Low level of education and post increase the blood pressure. Urban areas (65%) had higher rate of hypertension. Obese women (67%), physical activity have low prevalence of hypertension (75% in normotensive and 18.35% in hypertensive. Low socioeconomic status also causes prevalence of hypertension. High level of sodium (136.84 mEq/L), calcium (2.22mg/dL) and potassium (4.15 mEq/L) increases the higher risk of hypertension. Mean value of HB level is higher in normotensive (11.40g/dl) and pre-hypertensive (11.15g/dl) individual. Ferritin level was high in normotensive group (118.77ng/ml) but low in pre-hypertensive (115.74ng/dl) and hypertensive group (114.33ng/dl). The low concentration of HB and ferritin affect the blood pressure and causes prevalence of hypertension. The present study provided data about factors that elevate the blood pressure and caution that will minimize our blood pressure.

Published: October 2021

For the community, generators are an alternative if there is a power outage or if there is a large enough electricity demand. According to workers in the field of generator rental in Trenggalek, namely "db Genset" which has the address Ds. Gondang, Kec. Tugu, Kab. Trenggalek, there are 2 types of generators, namely open generators and silent generators, and most people choose silent generators because silent generators are specially designed to muffle engine noise so they don't cause noise, very suitable for use in active environments, but silent generators often experience temperature problems rise (Overheating) which is due to a closed engine and less smooth air circulation. Thus the cooling system on the generator set is needed to support the safety of the temperature on the silent generator so that it remains normal below 70°C which is important to minimize overheating problems in the silent generator, so that it can improve the performance of the generator to work for a long time without any problems. overheating. The design of the Temperature Control System in this Silent Genset Box uses Arduino Uno as a system controller and uses the Ds18b20 sensor, the engine temperature cooling process previously relied on radiator water and radiator fans, so the idea arose to add blower fans on both sides of the silent generator box, marked with a green temperature light indicator. being below 70°C indicates the temperature inside the box is normal, the blue light indicator indicates the temperature inside the box is in the 70°C to 95°C temperature range, fan 1 is on, the red light indicator indicates the temperature in the box is in the 95°C to 120°C temperature range, fans 1 and 2 are on, and the red light indicator indicates the temperature in the box is in the temperature range of 95°C to 120°C if the temperature reaches 120°C the generator engine will turn off indicating the temperature in the box maxsimal fan 1 and 2 remain on until the temperature decreases to 40°C, and every change in temperature will send a notification via SMS to the generator operator
Wettability and Its Controlling Factors of Mixed Shale Oil Reservoirs: A Case Study of Permian Lucaogou Formation in Jimusar Sag

Published: October 2021

Due to diverse mineral composition and complex lithology, mixed shale oil reservoir wettability features and the associated controlling factors remain unclear, limiting the evaluation of the oil-bearing property and sweet spot distribution. This paper examined mixed shale oil samples from the Jimusar Sag in the Lucaogou Formation. Casting thin sections, X-ray diffraction, geochemical characteristics, argon ion polishing scanning electron microscope, and high pressure mercury injection were used to analyze lithologic characteristics, mineral compositions, and pore-throat structures within the mixed shale oil reservoir. Using spontaneous imbibition and nuclear magnetic resonance, the wettability characteristics were analyzed. Impacts of organic matter abundance, mineral composition, pore-throat structure, and source-reservoir combination on wettability were discussed. The Lucaogou mixed shale oil reservoir primarily contains intergranular dissolved pores, intragranular dissolved pores, and intercrystalline pores. Three types of mercury intrusion cures were observed, including a weak platform shape (type I), gentle straight line shape (type II), and upward convex shape (type III), corresponding to intergranular, dissolved, and dissolved-intercrystalline dominant pore-throat systems, respectively. Mixed shale oil reservoirs show dual wet properties, containing both oil-wet and water-wet pores. Oil-wet pores (large pores with T2>1 ms) are more common and have better connectivity than water-wet pores (small pores with T2<1 ms). Dolomite-bearing siltstone and mudstone are primarily strongly oil-wet, while siltstone is primarily mixed wet. Type II and type III pore-throat systems are more oil-wet than type I for the same source-reservoir combination. Mixed shale oil reservoir wettability is primarily controlled by three factors, including organic matter abundance, source-reservoir combination, and dolomite content. The influence of the pore-throat structure is weak. High organic matter abundance, an integrated source-reservoir or adjacent source-reservoir, and appropriate dolomite content are necessary conditions for forming a strong oil-wet shale oil reservoir in the Lucaogou Formation. Stronger oil-wet is beneficial for shale oil charging and enrichment.
Conditional-Resultative Hypotactic Constructions from the Viewpoint of Evidentiality on the Empirical Material of the Kartvelian Languages1

Published: October 2021

Evidentiality is a universal category, the study of which should be carried out on the grammatical (morphological and syntactic) and lexical levels. The paper analyzes conditional-resultative hypotactic constructions from the viewpoint of evidentiality. Conditional-resultative hypotactic constructions consist of two components – main and subordinate clauses; The condition is given in the subordinate clause, the predicate of which represents the action which serves as a precondition for the fulfillment of the second action. The condition is followed by the result, which is given in the main clause and takes place if the corresponding condition is fulfilled. Such hypotactic construction is based on background knowledge, as the action described in the conditional-resultative sentence implies logical inter-relation between the clauses. The following questions should be answered in this regard: What are the characteristic features of these constructions from the viewpoint of evidentiality? Does the logical relation between the main and subordinate clauses represent a source of information which serves as a basis for evidentiality? Based on the analysis of the empirical material, it can be concluded that hypotactic constructions are evidential if conclusions or assumptions are drawn on the basis of logical conditional-resultative relations (and not perceptive facts), as well as the background knowledge/experience of the speaker. Hypotactic constructions are not evidential unless the logical relation between conditional-resultative clauses implies the above-mentioned nuances, and if only a certain fact, result or appeal is represented. The paper also focuses on the data of other Kartvelian languages and reveals the typology of the Kartvelian languages with regard to the issue under analysis.

Asymptotics of the Spectrum of Variational Problems Arising in the Theory of Fluid Oscillations
Authors: Suslina T. A.
Published: October 2021

This work is a survey of results on the asymptotics of the spectrum of variational problems arising in the theory of small oscillations of a fluid in a vessel near the equilibrium position. The problems were posed by N. D. Kopachevsky in the late 1970s and cover various fluid models. The formulations of problems are given both in the form of boundary-value problems for eigenvalues in the domain R3, which is occupied by the fluid in the equilibrium state, and in the form of variational problems on the spectrum of the ratio of quadratic forms. The common features of all the problems under consideration are the presence of an elliptic constraint (the Laplace equation for an ideal fluid or a homogeneous Stokes system for a viscous fluid), as well as the occurrence of the spectral parameter in the boundary condition on the free (equilibrium) surface . The spectrum in the considered problems is discrete; the spectrum distribution functions have power-law asymptotics.

Published: October 2021

Sports betting has recently become prevalent among students in institution of higher learning. Most students spend substantial amount of their time engaging in sports betting. The purpose of the study was to examine sports betting among students at colleges of education in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The descriptive survey design was used for the study. The target population was students in colleges of education in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The simple random sampling procedure was employed to select 361 students for the study. Questionnaire was used for data collection. The Cronbach’s coefficient alpha for the questionnaire was 0.73. Frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations were used to analyse data to answer three research questions that guided the study. The results showed that students patronised IXBet, EaziBet, EuroBet, SoccerCash [NLA] and Safari. It was found that, to a great extent, students agreed that their involvement in sports betting was low. Students reported that they engaged in sports betting to win cash and for entertainment. It was concluded that sports betting appeared more attractive to students since they offered free bonuses for placing bets. It was recommended that Guidance and Counselling Units on Colleges of Education campuses organise programmes to educate students on the types of sports betting available in the market and what they truly seek to offer clients. The Government and Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF) should develop socially responsible regulations and statutes on sports betting that have the potential of discouraging students’ involvement in the practice.

The spontaneous vegetation in permanent flooding zone around technogenic water bodies arising on former pastures due to underground coal mining in the Western Donbass basin (steppe zone of Ukraine) was studied in 2018–2019. Occurrence and abundance of herbaceous plants were taken into account in 36 vegetation plots over a total area of 0.8 km2 in different habitats: dry, wet and flooded. In total, 83 plant species belonging to 31 families and 66 genera were identified, among which perennials dominated. Strong negative Pearson’s correlation was found between the amount and abundance of plant species and soil characteristics across the studied habitats, where the joint action of all edaphic factors determined the mosaic appearance of transformed vegetation. The spontaneous vegetation of the least disturbed xero-mesophilic habitats was most similar to (semi)natural grasslands, while the vegetation of hygrophilic habitats had a complete mismatch. Surrounding grasslands were not the most important diasporas’ source for spontaneous succession in the disturbed zone, and many species were supposed to come from the more remote areas. Recovery of target vegetation did not occur for 25 years of permanent subsidence and flooding due to radical transformation of landscape and soil and appearance of completely inappropriate habitats. At the same time, the unusual species composition of spontaneous vegetation and significant number of rare and endangered plants indicate the formation of valuable biotopes in the subsidence and flooding zone.

Authors: Šíblová Zuzana , David Stanislav , Moyzeová Milena
Published: October 2021

The dragonfly Leucorrhinia pectoralis was recorded in Slovakia at 38 sites in 112 findings and there were 707 imagoes. Reproduction was confirmed in seven sites by finding of 35 larvae and exuviae. The highest number of sites with the occurrence of L. pectoralis is located in the Záhorská nížina lowland; most sites in Slovakia are located at an altitude of 213–351 m. L. pectoralis was recorded together with 49 species of dragonflies, and the average number of L. pectoralis was 9.56 individuals per site. It occurs in the communities as a dominant species (9.5%) together with eudominants Coenagrion puella, C. hastulatum and Libellula quadrimaculata. By non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS), we found a coenotic correlation to peat species Libellula quadrimaculata, Leucorrhinia rubicunda, L. dubia and Sympetrum danae. By redundancy linear analysis (RDA), we found a Monte Carlo permutation test to make a non-random contribution to the explained variability of seven factors (p = 0.012–0.034). L. pectoralis statistically significantly prefers habitats in the forest landscape (r = 0.62, p = 0.0063), the presence of vegetation (r = 0.94, p = 0.0003) and peatbogs (r = 0.61, p = 0.0058). We did not confirm a significant correlation to altitude. Based on easy determination, territoriality (especially males) and bioindicative sensitivity of larvae, L. pectoralis is accepted as an umbrella species. L. pectoralis has a high dispersion potential and is suitable for creating the meta-population character of local populations, which is important for the conservation management of the species.

Published: October 2021

In 2014‒2016 field seasons, bird censuses were conducted on 34 flyways in seven different types of open habitats of the Russian part of the Ishim River region. Ninety-five species from 72 genera from 10 orders were registered. It is established that the taxonomic composition and ecological structure of avifauna of the habitats under investigation comply with their biotopical characteristics; diversity of taxons and ecological groups show positive correlation with habitats’ heterogeneity. In natural habitats, the maximum total abundance of birds, highest species diversity within the habitat (α-diversity) and species sustainability are characteristic of river meadows ornithocenoses, mainly due to low-numbered species and a higher evenness index. In disturbed habitats, the maximum total abundance, species diversity, Shannon diversity index, Pielou’s evenness index, minimal index of diversity and highest indices of elastic and general sustainability are characteristic of abandoned fields ornithocenoses, due to a more complex structure of vegetation communities and habitat resource capacity, which increased in the course of secondary succession. Due to natural and historical unity, middle and northern forest steppe’s avifaunae are most similar. The southern taiga open habitats’ ornithocenoses are most heterogeneous, due to an increased amount of dendrophilous birds along with forest habitats’ increased area and diversity.
Correlation Between Training and Education of Human Resources and Business Performance of Small and Medium Enterprises
Authors: Klepić Iva
Published: October 2021

Human resources (HR) represent a crucial resource of enterprises. This especially applies to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in which HR can create a competitive advantage and affect survival and development. Changes in the business environment, the need for new knowledge, skills and abilities due to changes in the market and business all lead to widening the gap between existing and required competencies of employees. In the process of training and education of HR, employees acquire the necessary knowledge, refine their skills and/or acquire new skills, and experience. More to the point, they obtain the competencies they need to stay and/or become successful in their job and future jobs that they will perform in the enterprise. The principal aim of this research is to determine the correlation between training and education of HR and business performance of SMEs. The survey was conducted in SMEs in the Federation of B&H from August to September 2020. An original questionnaire was created for the research, used for collecting the views on the HR training and education of top managers as well as four business performance perspectives of companies based on the Balanced Scorecard model. Data were analysed using SPSS 20.0. The following were used from the statistical procedures: Pearson’s coefficient of correlation, t-test for independent samples, Spearman’s correlation of coefficient and Mann-Whitney U test (depending on the results distribution). The results of the survey showed that there is a correlation between training and education of HR and business performance in SMEs. In addition, the survey results indicated differences among the enterprises in terms of their size; i.e., between small and medium-sized enterprises. However, those differences are not statistically significant.
temporalidad e intencionalidad pasiva en los manuscritos C
Authors: Soto Francisco Conde
Published: October 2021

In this article the author presents Husserl’s analysis of the problem of time-consciousness in the C-Manuscripts (1929-1934). He tries to discuss the reasons why Husserl introduces the concept of “living present” and the necessity of distinguishing the originary temporalizing flux of absolute consciousness and the immanent time where acts are placed when they become object of an act of reflection. Another important issue is the introduction of a Ur-Ich, which works anonymously and temporalizes itself. It will be also studied why Husserl considers at the end that temporalization is an non-intentional passive process that works at the deepest level of consciousness.
Uma abordagem husserliana ao problema da referência
Authors: Barata André
Published: October 2021

No último quartel do Séc. XX, instalou-se na Filosofia da Linguagem um vivo debate entre duas teorias acerca da referência, a teoria descritivista, formulada por Bertrand Russell e com raízes na filosofia de Frege, e, a desafiar esta, a teoria causal da referência, sob o impulso de Putnam e de Kripke. Há, por outro lado, importantes estudos do pensamento de Husserl, centrados sobretudo em Ideias I, que dão conta da possibilidade de uma sua leitura fregeana.

O intuito desta comunicação reside, primeiramente, em mostrar que, não obstante essas leituras, os aspectos semânticos mais originais na fenomenologia de Husserl e, além disso, também mais interessantes para o debate sobre o problema da referência, se encontram logo na Primeira das Investigações Lógicas. Com efeito, nesse texto, cremos ser possível mostrar que a teoria da expressão de Husserl não se ajusta nem à teoria descritivista nem à teoria causal da referência.

As razões do desajustamento, segundo tese que propomos, prendem-se com o facto de ambas as teorias da referência, descritivista e causal, disputarem entre si o problema da frxação da referência das expressões como se esse fosse o problema de saber o que faz com que as expressões refiram.

Mostrar que não é assim com Husserl, conduz-nos a um terceiro problema, na obra póstuma Experiência e Juízo, sobre a constituição dos referentes, enquanto objectos de uma relação directa ao individual, ou seja, enquanto objectos de experiência. Quererá isto dizer, concluindo, que o problema da referência, antes de respeitar às expressões referenciais, respeita à própria experiência e que tal problema deverá, por isso, resolver-se na constituição passiva e ante-predicativa da experiência.
A hermenêutica como sabedoria prática: entre Gadamer e Ricoeur
Authors: Portocarrero Luísa
Published: October 2021

A presente comunicação procura pensar a ideia de hermenêutica como filosofia prática, a partir das semelhanças que Gadamer estabelece entre a racionalidade hermenêutica e a fronesis aristotélica. A ideia chave é esta: o núcleo fundamental da razão hermenêutica é a unidade de compreensão, interpretação e aplicação; a aplicação é o cerne da racionalidade hermenêutica, que sempre foi susci.tada por casos de tensão entre situações singulares. de vida e textos ou leis com sentido universal, que melhor permitem entendê-las. Neste sentido, a tarefa hermenêutica é semelhante à da ética aristotélica: medir uma situação concreta à luz das exigências éticas mais gerais. Tal é de facto a condição da praxis ética e política do ser humano, aquela que hoje é absolutamente necessário pensar face à inflação contemporânea de uma praxis guiada por mecanismos automáticos de índole técnica. Quer isto dizer que é necessário hoje clarificar absolutamente o que distingue a praxis conduzida pela technê da praxis ética e política como condição da liberdade humana. Segundo Gadamer, esta tem uma natureza hermenêutica que urge clarificar, pois, ela parte sempre de regras, tradições, leis que são recriadas em acto na situação hermenêutica da sua aplicação.

Aplicação hermenêutica e froairesis têm uma estrutura semelhante que é necessário perceber pois também a praxis técnica é uma forma de aplicação, embora de natureza bem diferente.

P. Ricoeur sabe também que a praxis concreta do ser humano nada tem de semelhante à praxis técnica, a produção e que pensá-la exige a mediação de uma simbólica e de uma mítica concreta.
Mundo, Percepção e Coexistência. Reflex˜oes Sobre Ética a partir de M.·Merleau-Ponty
Authors: Santos Vânia
Published: October 2021

This article analyses the relation between ethics and lived body based on Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s works. It is true that the philosopher did not elaborate an ethic. Neither does the present text propose to do so. However, it intends to demonstrate that the Merleau-Ponty contraposition of his existential ontology to the metaphysical anthropological perspectives provides the indications and paths necessary for a possible ethics that takes the radically integral phenomenon of human existence as an inexóráble source.
Motor-type aphasia in English and Spanish and its relation to the linguistic variables intervening in reading
Authors: Vereda-Alonso Cristina , Gonzalez-Sanchez Mercedes
Published: October 2021

This pilot study was designed to explore the way linguistic variables affect reading in English and Spanish in the context of motor-type aphasia. The participants were two speakers with English L1, two English-Spanish bilinguals, and four speakers with Spanish L1. The Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (BDAE) and Psycholinguistic Assessments of Language Processing in Aphasia (PALPA) were used to assess the participants’ reading skills. L1 English, Spanish, and bilingual participants used both the lexical and sublexical route when reading, but utilized one route more than the other depending on their linguistic profile. L1 Spanish participants used the damaged phonological route, producing many neologisms or non-answers. L1 English participants, utilizing the lexical route, produced more lexicalizations than neologisms. The bilingual participants showed interlanguage interference by producing many spelling-sound regularizations. These results suggest that orthographic depth and different linguistic variables affect individuals with motor-type aphasia depending on the language they speak.

Published: October 2021

This paper presents the general principles of building a sailing yacht designed for people with multiple disabilities. Specific requirements for the crew on such vessels have been stressed. A lot of attention has been given to the possible disabilities of the design subjects and accessibility of the new yacht. The universal design method has been adopted to enable meeting ergonomic and rehabilitation requirements. We discuss selected stages of the design process: problem analysis, yacht construction and equipment. We discuss the influence of the type of disability on yacht use, in detail. Two tasks have been combined, that of a sailor with disabilities and that of a yacht. Both of them need to be taken into account in the socio-technical ‘sailor with disabilities - yacht’ system. A set of required yacht adaptations has been developed to meet the relationships in this system. Typical dangers in sailing on the Empatia 60 FD yacht are further enumerated. We provide a set of design rules for constructing dedicated yachts for the disabled and their practical use.

Published: October 2021

A bulbous bow is a typical ship structure. Due to the influence of the bulbous bow, complex flow separation and gas capture phenomena may appear during the water entry of ship-like sections. In this paper, experimental and numerical studies on the water entry of a ship-like section with an obvious bulbous bow are carried out. Two thin plates are installed at both ends of the test model to ensure that the flow field during the impact process is approximately two-dimensional. The free-fall drop test is carried out in the test rig equipped with guide rails. By changing drop heights, impact pressure on the model surface with different initial impact velocities is measured. A numerical model for simulating the water entry of the ship-like section is established by using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method, based on the Navier-Stokes equations. Reasonable time steps and mesh size are determined by convergence analysis. Four different flow models are used in the numerical analysis. It is found that the K-Epsilon turbulence model can present the most reasonable numerical prediction by comparing numerical results with the experimental data. Furthermore, the influence of the bulbous bow on the impact loads is numerically studied by using the validated numerical model. It suggests that the bulbous bow has little effect on the impact force acting on the bow-flared area but, in the position near the bulbous bow, the pressure will be affected by the second slamming and the air cushion.

Ensuring the safety of ship crews at sea is of the utmost importance. Life rafts are one of the basic components of any seagoing vessel and ensuring their stability is an important component of maritime research. This study concerns the determination of the aerodynamic drag coefficients of pneumatic life rafts in a full range of wind speed and directions. The drag coefficients are based on full-scale experimental studies and numerical calculations (computational fluid dynamics) carried out with Flow-3D software. Two types of life rafts are analysed in the numerical simulations, namely, a non-deformed raft and a raft deformed under the influence of wind pressure at a given flow velocity. The shape of the deformed pneumatic life raft is recreated on the basis of photographic documentation from experimental studies. The results of the numerical calculations are verified on the basis of full-scale flow experiments carried out at the Low Speed Wind Tunnel T-3 Laboratory at the Institute of Aviation in Warsaw. This study shows that there is a dependence of aerodynamic drag on the degree of deformation of the above-water part of the life raft, as well as the angle of the raft setting to the wind. In real water conditions, this angle depends mainly on the anchor point of the drift anchor and therefore should be considered at the design stage, which will directly reduce the wind leeway of the raft.

Anaplastic gliomas compromise about 5.9% of primary CNS tumors. The main goal of the operation is the maximum removal of the tumor, reduction of the tumor mass and reduction of the increased intracranial pressure. Different pathohistological subtypes of anaplastic gliomas show significantly different prognosis depending on the applied oncological therapeutic protocol as well as the modality of the applied radiotherapy. The study was designed as a retrospective, clinical observational study. The study included 34 participants who were diagnosed with anaplastic glioma in the followed time period. Survival rates were calculated based on the localization, modality of therapy and complications. We concluded that 20,4% of anaplastic gliomas were formed by transformation from previously operated lower grade gliomas. The initial sign of the disease is the appearance of epileptic seizures. Anaplastic gliomas most oftenly occur in the frontal region, with a frequency of 47%. The incidence of anaplastic gliomas in the temporal lobe is 23,5%. The length of survival is in relation to the localization of tumor expansion(p<0.05). The overall survival in the group of anaplastic gliomas operated on in the Department of Neurooncology KCS in the follow-up period of five years is 52.9%. The application of different chemotherapy modalities is not significant predictor in the length of survival. The radical nature of the operation has significance in the length of patient survival, which confirms the conclusions of most of the conducted studies cited in oncology textbooks.

Water content plays a significant role in seed development, especially during the seed sowing level, which ensures the germination of a good seed. A water seed drill (WSD) was tested in the farmer’s field Koont, Rawalpindi, for the last five wheat seasons (2015-16 to 2019-20). WSD provides the optimum amount of water needed in the same furrow for the soil right after seed placement. In this study, a WSD conserves soil moisture for better plant germination and wheat growth in rainfed areas. The data recorded showed that the application of WSD enhanced soil moisture 50 to 67% in the existing soil available water. The Germination rate and counted tillers of wheat plants were improved up to 38% and 45%, respectively, compared to conventional wheat sowing. WSD had a significant effect on wheat yield with a maximum of 41% increment in output than conventional sowing. The WSD operational and output cost were 2.57 and 2.15 times more than Conventional seed drill sowing, respectively. The WSD helped advance wheat sowing, ensuring the crop’s timely sowing in the absence of rainfall, especially in rainfed regions, and promoted drill sowing.

In vitro production (IVP) of embryo is one of the most propitious assisted reproductive technology (ART) adopted in modern livestock industry. Bangladesh, a developing country has been working enormously to adopt this technique in various livestock species. As goat is the most promising small ruminant of this country, several research work has been ongoing to adopt IVP on this species, more specifically on Black Bengal goat (BBg), the only recognized breed of Bangladesh. For conservation, improvisation and increased production of this goat breed ART like IVP is a major pre requisite. IVP of embryos usually includes retrieval of oocytes from the ovarian follicles, in vitro maturation (IVM), sperm capacitation, in vitro fertilization (IVF) of oocytes and in vitro culture (IVC) of presumptive zygotes to morula or blastocyst stage. Research showed, the source and quality of the ovary, oocyte and the cumulus-oocyte-complexes (COCs), semen quality, oocyte recovery time and procedure, culture condition, supplements and the subsequent factors plays a critical role in the maturation and subsequent development of the embryo which can be varied from lab too lab upon researcher’s choice. A short review on the IVP of goat embryos is discussed here in the context of recent encouraging data which will aid future researchers aiming at successful embryo production of BBg in vitro.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and its derivatives are one of the most widely used DNA-based methods in species determination studies in meat and meat products. Chromosomal or mitochondrial genes of the species can be targeted in PCR-based analyzes used in species detection studies. Many researchers are able to realize oligonucleotide differences between species through online alignment programs on mitochondrial DNA. Using chromosomal DNA would provide more concise results in quantification studies. However, determining the marker regions for genomic DNA is challenging due to the large size of the chromosomes. Bioinformatics approaches are available for selected applications. However, using those approaches requires intensive knowledge of computer science, molecular biology, and bioinformatics in addition to high computational power. In this study, a pipeline is presented that will provide a user-friendly approach to be adopted by facilities where contamination analyzes are routinely performed.
