The right to a safe environment: historical and legal aspect
Authors: Пирожкова И.Г. , Попов А.М.
Published: March 2023

Статья посвящена анализу эволюции права на благоприятную окружающую среду как концептуального понятия конституционной доктрины и практики. Выделены исторические периоды формирования законодательства XX в., связанного с использованием, сохранением природных ресурсов, которое стало основой современного экологического законодательства. Периодизация развития советского законодательства разграничивается следующим образом: 1917 – 1920-е гг.; 1930-е – 1950-е гг., 1960-е – 1980-е гг. Такое разграничение обусловлено степенью осознания экологических проблем, активизацией использования природных ресурсов и общей модернизацией законодательства. Отмечена обусловленность появления экологических норм с законодательством о социальном обеспечении и противопожарным нормированием применительно к раннему этапу складывания экологической нормативной повестки. Развитие экологического законодательства и управления природными ресурсами увязано с развитием международной правовой базы и этапами становления доктрины прав человека. Отмечается, что исторические характеристики права на благоприятную окружающую среду в сравнении с современным пониманием значительно более узки и касались исключительно влияния природы на благополучие человека.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the evolution of the right to a favorable environment as a conceptual concept of constitutional doctrine and practice. The historical periods of the formation of the legislation of the 20th century related to the use and conservation of natural resources, which became the basis of modern environmental legislation, are highlighted. The periodization of the development of Soviet legislation is delimited from 1917 to the 1920s; 1930s – 1950s, 1960s – 1980s. Such a distinction is due to the degree of awareness of environmental problems, the intensification of the use of natural resources and the general modernization of legislation. The conditionality of the emergence of environmental standards with the legislation on social security and fire safety regulation in relation to the early stage of the formation of the environmental regulatory agenda is noted. The development of environmental legislation and natural resource management is linked to the development of the international legal framework and the stages of formation of the doctrine of human rights. It is noted that the historical characteristics of the right to a favorable environment, in comparison with the modern understanding, are much narrower and refer exclusively to the influence of nature on human well-being.

Authors: Santos Vieira de Jesus Diego
Published: March 2023

The aim is to examine the changes and the continuities of Japan’s foreign policy from 2012 to 2022. The main argument indicates that the reforms implemented since 2012 have had the purpose to legitimize Japan’s pacifist guidelines and practices, and Japan has gradually abandoned self-imposed restrictions regarding the reinterpretation of the Article 9 of its Constitution, the change of arms export rules, and the revision of the initiatives of official development assistance in a more pragmatic and incremental than an ideological and radical way. Many of these reforms build on longer-term pragmatic trends to the Japanese response to changes of the state’s security and economic environment.

Factors affecting attitude towards risk: The case of small-scale fishers in Guimaras
Authors: Eluriaga Louie Marie , Zeller Lylve Maliz
Published: March 2023

The presence of risk and uncertainty in the field of capture fisheries warrants an understanding of how small-scale fishers respond to these uncertainties. Previous studies showed that fishers’ decision-making process is influenced by various factors, including their risk preference. Studies on this subject are scarce despite the relative importance of risk preference in explaining small-scale fisher’s behavior. This study used a multiple price list experiment to elicit small-scale fisher’s risk preference in Guimaras province and employed multinomial logit regression to determine socioeconomic factors influencing risk preference. The results showed that small-scale fishers are slightly risk-averse given the mean Constant Relative Risk Aversion (CRRA) coefficient of 0.20. This risk-averse attitude is significantly influenced by monthly household income, being a Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4P’s) beneficiary, and having outstanding credit. Therefore, the risk-averse attitude of small-scale fishers is an essential consideration in implementing fishery regulations and poverty alleviation programs.
Coexisting in Low-Earth Orbit: Large Constellations and Cybersecurity Governance
Authors: Blount P. J.
Published: March 2023

Large constellations present unique challenges to space operators in a variety of ways, but due to the increasing interconnection between the satellites within these architectures, cybersecurity is a critical concern. The potential for a massive shutdown of such a system through a network attack could have long-term consequences for the space environment. This article describes the role that legal structures play in managing such risks and asserts that more robust governance should be pursued to mitigate the potential for a catastrophic attack.

The European Central Bank, national central banks, and the unity of the international representation of the European System of Central Banks
Authors: Castellarin Emanuel
Published: March 2023

Although centred on the European Central Bank, the international representation of the European System of Central Banks also relies on the national central banks. This article analyses the requirement of unity of the international representation of the ESCB, assesses the current means through which it is implemented, and identifies areas of possible improvement in the coordination of the respective international activities of the European Central Bank and of national central banks. The article argues that the principle of sincere cooperation can play a significant role, both within and beyond Article 6 of the ESCB/ECB Statute. Although the existing soft-law arrangements within the ESCB are more effective than for the EMU in general, improvements are possible regarding the conclusion and implementation of international cooperation agreements. Stronger synergies with the activities of national central banks would also help the emergence of a more proactive and influential international cooperation strategy.

The Distinctive Aspects of Institutional Arbitration Under Egyptian Law
Authors: Elatafy Sherif
Published: March 2023

Both the Egyptian Arbitration Law of 1994 and the relevant jurisprudence are devoid of any rule that regulates arbitral institutions’ incorporation and good standing. However, recently, and only after the Chevron Sham Arbitration saga, Egyptian courts have tackled the issue of arbitral institutions’ legal framework, where many subsequent related questions were then raised. For instance, is there an actual legal framework that governs arbitral institutions in Egypt? If so, what is the statute applicable to that effect? Are all kinds of arbitral institutions, operating in Egypt, subject to the same legal framework or statute? Is there an actual need to enact a new specific statute to avoid the recurrence of a fraudulent sham arbitration like the Chevron one? This article will attempt to answer all these questions, despite the dearth of Egyptian jurisprudence. It will also shed light on the collateral, but essential, problematic issues that arise while analysing the legal framework of arbitral institutions in general, and the Egyptian Sports Centre, in particular. As a part of this analytical study, and for purposes of comprehensiveness, the current article demonstrates the legal consequences of administering an institutional arbitration (i.e., the internationalization of institutional arbitration) as well as the consequences of wrongful administration of institutional arbitration, with a particular attention to the issue of a fraudulent administration such as in the case of the Chevron Sham Arbitration.

On How the Human Rights Framework Can Contribute to Inclusive Trade Agreements
Authors: Dommen Caroline
Published: March 2023

There is a growing willingness to include inclusivity and sustainability provisions in trade agreements. This has gone hand-in-hand with a new trend in trade policy circles to acknowledge the differential impacts of trade. These developments offer an unprecedented opportunity to deepen reflection about ways of anticipating what possible impacts of new trade agreements might be, how to avoid adverse impacts, and how to design flanking and mitigating measures. This article considers the pertinence of a human rights-based approach for identifying economic, social and environmental impacts. Noting that discussion about human rights in the trade context has been hampered by misunderstandings, the article clarifies the legal basis for undertaking human rights impact assessment (HRIA) and what a human rights approach can achieve. It demonstrates that the function of HRIA goes beyond determining impacts of trade rules on human rights, to be a tool for ascertaining whether trade is fulfilling its intended societal functions. The article draws on a recent ex ante assessment of the European Free Trade Area (EFTA)-Mercosur trade agreement (EMFTA) to illustrate how HRIA methodology can be applied. Referring to this and other HRIAs, it concludes that human rights-based methodologies are well-suited to assess potential impacts of planned trade agreements, and that such assessment is a promising route towards trade agreements that are inclusive, robust, and supportive of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

IOT-BASED MONITORING SYSTEM FOR EXPECTANT WOMEN
Authors: Journal IJSREM
Published: March 2023

Maternal and child deaths due to pregnancy related complications are still a huge concern and more prevalent in developing countries. Early detection of complications can help avoid many of the reported cases. Due to factors like long distances to nearby health facilities, lack of knowledge and poverty, majority of expectant mothers in rural developing nations are still adamant in prioritizing their health during this very sensitive period. This thesis research project was aimed at designing and prototyping a system intended to help reduce and improve maternal health in rural areas of developing nations by providing a rather easy way to monitor the health of expectant mothers remotely and to also provides vital information in form of periodic tips with automatic alerts . A survey was conducted so as to investigate the capabilities of the existing systems, identify the challenges with the systems and find out the awareness and readiness integration of internet of things in pregnancy monitoring. For data collection questionnaires were selectively distributed to expectant mothers and health facility officers. Selected health system managers were interviewed and existing documentation analyzed. From the analysis of collected data, the results show that current systems are ineffective and there is a need for Internet of things-based solutions. An architecture for context awareness and an IoT based system are therefore proposed so as to improve pregnancy monitoring and thus a reduction in fatalities and complications. The system uses a pulse sensor, temperature sensor and sweat sensor to collect data with an NodeMCU as the microcontroller. The collected data is then sent to the cloud. From the cloud data is stored, processed and analyzed then sent to the health worker. In case of any health complication or an appointment is missed the health officials are alerted on real- time. The use of this system will ensure a timely response in case of an emergency thus lead to better health and a contribution towards the sustainable development goals.

Published: March 2023

Theory of Constraints (TOC) is the parent concept for the development of critical chain project management (CCPM). CCPM is the application of TOC. The project management literature has taken a keen interest in this. The key element of CCPM such as the Theory of Constraints, CCPM scheduling, Activity duration, types of buffers and their positioning, and buffer sizing techniques are reviewed by the author. This includes activity duration factors such as student syndrome and Parkinson’s laws. Multitasking affects project cost and CCPM & TOC provide the solution. The authors conclude that, even though CCPM contains several useful principles, it does not entirely address all project management requirements. As a result, companies should exercise extreme caution when excluding conventional project management techniques. Keywords: CCPM, Buffer sizing, Buffer type, Project Management
EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS ON ENHANCEMENT OF HEAT TRANSFER IN COMPACT HEAT EXCHANGER USING NANO PARTICLES
Authors:   Department of Mechanical Engineering, Government College of  Engineering, Salem, India., Sivalakshmi Dr.S , A Muralishankar
Published: March 2023

This study aims to experimentally investigate the enhancement of heat transfer in a compact heat exchanger (CHE) using nano particles, without considering the Reynolds number effect. In recent years, nanofluids have attracted attention as a promising alternative to traditional heat transfer fluids due to their improved thermal conductivity. The experimental setup consisted of a counter-flow CHE with a nanofluid circulating through the tubes. The nanofluid was prepared by dispersing Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3) and Copper (II) oxide (CuO) nanoparticles into distilled water. The effects of various parameters such as nanoparticle concentration and heat flux on heat transfer enhancement were investigated. Results showed that the addition of nanoparticles significantly increased the heat transfer rate compared to the base fluid. Moreover, the enhancement was found to be more significant at higher concentrations of nanoparticles and heat fluxes. The results also showed that the increase in heat transfer was due to the improved thermal conductivity of the nanofluid. Overall, the study demonstrated that the use of nanofluids in CHEs can significantly improve their performance, making them more efficient and compact for a wide range of industrial applications, even without considering the Reynolds number effect

Modified Efficient OMS LUT Design for Memory-Based Multiplication
Authors: Manikandan A.
Published: March 2023

This paper proposes an efficient LUT (Look-Up-Table) design called Efficient EOMS (Efficient-OMS Design) for memory-based operations. This proposed design can be used for FPGA implementation as well as ASIC. The proposed design is a better choice than ordinary OMS (Odd Multiplier Store) and is preferred in many DSP calculations where one of the inputs to the filter coefficients is fixed. In this design (N+1), the possible product terms of the input multiplicands with fixed coefficients are stored directly in memory. Doing so allows for a simpler and faster design, unlike the previous proposal OMS (Odd Multiple Storage).Designs that extract odd multiples of the product term can significantly reduce path delay and area complexity with very simple control circuitry. Using (N+1) technology can significantly reduce the area compared to ordinary OMS technology. Additionally, the EOMS technical design is coded in Verilog and simulated and synthesized using Xilinx tools.
Enhancing Energy Efficiency of Sram through Optimization of Sram Array Structures
Authors: Manikandan A.
Published: March 2023

Reliability is a major concern in the microprocessor industry. In terms of power consumption, SRAM plays a key role in improving processing performance. Improving SRAM efficiency requires changes to the array structure. A general method in which the SRAM array has more rows than columns.The above techniques are proposed to improve efficiency by 10% for 8kbit and 40% for 64kbit at the same SRAM byte density and supply voltage. Implement suggested deep submicron technology for better reliability. Many proposed designs focus on low power consumption, often with reduced response times.As the technology scales, the power consumption of on-chain system devices with gate leakage, subthreshold current, and tunneling increases significantly. Small SRAM capabilities are important.This task demonstrates the potential of using larger SRAM array structures to achieve better SRAM energy efficiency, especially when the number of rows is less than the number of low-power columns. Compared to traditional 8T SRAM, the proposed 10T cell uses less power, has a different temperature and better performance.

Tijd voor een coherente herziening van het wettelijk sanctiestelsel, of blijven we pleisters plakken?

Twee decennia geleden klonk voorzichtig de roep om herziening van het wettelijk sanctiestelsel. Aanleiding hiervoor waren zorgen om de inzichtelijkheid en consistentie van het sanctiestelsel. In deze bijdrage belicht Struijk dat die zorgen zijn toegenomen, nu er nadien op zowel het afzonderlijk als het gezamenlijk spectrum van straf en maatregel bepaald geen sprake is geweest van een herziening, maar van een gestage uitbreiding van het wettelijk kader met soms tegenstrijdige doeleinden of implicaties.

Neuro-interventies in het sanctierecht. Over negatieve en positieve vrijheden

Sanctioneren op grond en ter voorkoming van gevaar vraagt om juridische normering en begrenzing. Dat geldt (dus) ook voor de inzet van neuro-interventies die strekken tot het verminderen van recidiverisico’s. Begrenzing en normering kan men in dit kader onder meer zoeken in het evenwicht tussen negatieve en positieve vrijheden; tussen fundamentele rechten tegen en op neuro-interventies. Deze bijdrage beoogt enkele algemene kaders te schetsen waarbinnen een dergelijk evenwicht zou kunnen worden gezocht.

THE ARCHITECTONICS OF V.F. ODOEVSKY’S “RUSSIAN
NIGHTS”
Authors: Nikolyukin Alexander
Published: March 2023

V.F. Odoevsky’s philosophical novel comprises a collection of manuscripts of short stories presented by young people led by Faust, whose name began
to denote the author of the novel as the “Russian Faust”. Odoevsky joined Freemasonry at the Noble University Boarding School, the head of which was A.A. Prokopovich-Antonsky, a friend of N.I. Novikov. Odoevsky’s youth, the period of the
love of wisdom, passed under the influence of Schelling’s philosophy and the ideas of Freemasonry, the teachings of de Saint-Martin and F. Baader. Th e architectonics
of “Russian Nights” as a philosophical novel is determined by conversations and
disputes about the issues of modern life among the young characters of the story.
“Russian Nights” is a complex combination of mystical Freemasonry and the teachings of Schelling. It is a large philosophical and ethical treatise, representing a
motley collection of ideas and opinions on almost all issues of the life and thinking
of Russian people in the fi rst half of the 19th century.

TURKMEN VERNACULAR MUSIC CULTURE AS A SUBJECT
MATTER OF THE ALMANAC “AYDING-GYUNLER”
Authors: Burtseva Alla
Published: March 2023

The paper considers the representation of Turkmen music culture in
the Soviet almanac “Ayding-Gyunler” (1934) and aims to recognize the patterns of
including vernacular culture into the Soviet literary field. The analysis of the texts’
content and the archival sources, including unpublished ones, sheds a light on the
processes of incorporation of the so-called “national” culture into the Soviet context,
such as declared decolonization and an attempt to “understand the new Turkmenistan”. The analysis is put into historical and cultural perspective of recognizing the
typical Turkmen traits of the music culture in the texts of the almanac. Th e archival
sources include unpublished notes on the Turkmen folklore, which is considered as
one of the sources of the writers’ work. Th e texts of the almanac represent the view
of the Europeans –members of the writers’ brigade who provided materials for the
almanac. The poem by Turkmen author Durdy Klych is strongly connected with
vernacular culture, but being put into the context of the almanac, it gains a new use
for the aims of the Soviet literature. The view of the Turkmen culture in the almanac
remains oriental, which dissonates with the proclaimed “deexotization” of the Soviet policy. However, further investigation into the next almanac “Turkmenistan”
should be made. It is probable that the integration continued and the view of the
writers changed according to the contemporary Soviet policy.
ON A STRANGE QUOTATION IN ALEXANDER BLOK’S
ARTICLE “APOLLON GRIGORIEV’S LIFE”
Authors: Magomedova Dina
Published: March 2023

Until now, a German quote from Grigoriev’s article “Th e Last Phase
of Love” (1846) in A. Blok’s “The Fate of Apollo Grigoriev”, has remained not only
uncommented, but also untranslated. A dictionary analysis showed that a major
misprint was made in the magazine “Repertuar i Pantheon” (Erwürdigster instead
of Ehrwürdigster). In Blok’s article, another inaccuracy was added to this typo, as a
result of which the quote turned into an “obscure passage in the text”. Correction
of typos showed that Grigoriev quotes a remark from a Masonic ritual, which corresponds to his passion for Freemasonry and mysticism during the translation of
the “Hymns”, with which Block correlated the quoted fragment.

This paper proposes a corpus study of Italian già and Russian uzhe on
the basis of the bidirectional Italian-Russian parallel corpus within the Russian
National Corpus (RNC). Our aim is to create a contrastive description and to highlight language-specific functions of these linguistic TAM markers, in which temporality, aspectuality and modality are present. In addition to temporality, we highlighted modal meanings of presupposition, shared knowledge and varying degrees
of expectation; we also outlined the processes of semantic expansion, intensification,
focusing and metatextual functions.The findings include a reduction in the modal
component in the translations from Russian into Italian.

АBOUT THE SEMANTICS OF THE WORD ЗРAКЪ
IN CHURCH SLAVONIC TEXTS
Authors: Kaluzhnina Nadezhda V.
Published: March 2023

The material of the study was the Church Slavonic texts of the 18–20th
centuries. As a result of an electronic search in digitized versions of these sources,
512 entries were obtained, mainly from liturgical texts, which distinguishes our
material from illustrative examples for this lexeme in a number of other dictionaries.
Lexicographic sources allow us to state that there is no monosemantic correspondence
between the selected meanings of the Church Slavonic word and the Greek equivalents. As a result of the analysis of the studied material, the following meanings were
distinguished for the word зракъ́ : 1) contemplation (process, action according to
the verb зрѣти́ ); 2) look; 3) sight, eye (the ability to see); 4) appearance, face; 5) picture, icon; 6) image (refl ection of objects and phenomena of reality in human mind);
7) essence, nature; 8) vision. Th e meaning (1) naming the process is related to the
verb зрѣти́ in its transitive meaning, as are the meanings (4, 5, 6, 7) naming the
object. Meanings (2) and (3) are associated with the verb зрѣти́ in intransitive
meanings: as the names of the ability to see — sight (3) and its immaterial tool — look
(2). In the fi rst 7 meanings, the word зракъ́ is associated with the verb зрѣти́ , in
the meaning (8) — with the verb зрѣтисѧ ́ . One can define the first three meanings
as ‘internal’, subjective, associated with the characteristics of the looking subject,
and the rest as ‘external’, objective, associated with the characteristics of the visible
object. Th e complexity of the semantic structure of the word зракъ́ in the studied
texts is partly due to the presence of polysemantic combinations. In several cases,
an unusual use of the plural forms of this word is noted, accompanying some shades
of its meanings.
MELODIC CONTOUR OF YES-NO QUESTION IN WESTERN MIDDLE-RUSSIAN DIALECT WITH AKAN’JE
Authors: Knyazev Sergey V. , Dyachenko Svetlana V.
Published: March 2023

This paper deals with the intonation of yes-no question in Western Middle-Russian dialect with akan’je spoken in Vyshny Volochek district of Tver region. The study, based on the material of dialectal speech recordings made in the 2017 (eight speakers born in 1926–1952, total duration — 9,5 hours), reveals that the melodic contour of yes-no question in Western Middle-Russian dialect occupies an intermediate position between corresponding tonal structures of Modern Standard Russian and those of Northern Russian dialects: while sharing rising pitch associated with the accented syllable and falling tone on the postaccented ones, it diff ers 1) from the Standard Russian owing to earlier timing of the pitch accent (with the maximum tonal point around the middle of the stressed vowel rather than at the end of the stressed syllable for the Standard variety) and the absence of truncation of the falling tune and 2) from the Northern one — due to the absence of high phrase tone on postaccented syllables. Th e difference from Western Middle-Russian dialects with okan’je lays in the domain of pretonic syllable which bears a “falling set-up”. We thus suggest the interpretation of %L L+H* L- L% for Western Middle-Russian dialects with akan’je.
To bias or not to bias in oncology clinical trials: Perspectives on design, endpoint selection, and reporting
Authors: Lee Zuo Yen
Published: March 2023

Developing drugs for cancer is a process as complex as the disease itself. At the planning stage of a clinical trial for an oncology drug, thorough and careful consideration must be given to choosing the right study design and endpoints/estimands, as any bias introduced at the outset of the clinical trial would cascade down to the analysis and eventually the reporting of the results. The common study designs for oncology drugs, their challenges, the current perspectives (and dilemmas) in the industry on choosing the right endpoints/estimands, design and reporting biases, and the roles of medical writers in facing these challenges are discussed in this article.
Hexagonal GaN nanostructure via electrochemical etching
Authors: W. Cao  , Y. Chai
Published: March 2023

Gallium nitride GaN thin ﬁlms were deposited on Si (111) substrates using electrochemical deposition technique at 20 °C. SEM images and EDX results indicated that the growth of GaN ﬁlms varies with the current density. XRD and Raman analyses showed the presence of hexagonal wurtzite and cubic zinc blende GaN phases with the crystallite size around 18–19 nm. Photoluminescence spectrum showed that the energy gaps of h-GaN/Si (111) and c-GaN/Si (111) were near 3.39 eV and 3.2 eV respectively at 300 K. Raman spectrum indicated the presence of mixed phonon modes of hexagonal and cubic GaN.

Published: March 2023

Electrochemical deposition method was employed to fabricate ZnO nanorods on zinc foil substrate in this paper. The structural observations of ZnO nanorods with different aspect ratios were carried out by ﬁeld- emission scanning electron microscopy. The microstructures of ZnO nanorods were also characterized by X-ray diffraction and the changes in surface hydroxyls with electrochemical deposition time were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The study results show the aspect ratios of ZnO nanorods and the density of their surface hydroxyls are responsible for their superhydrophobicity. The ﬂuorinated polymer coated ZnO nanorods showed an excellent superhydrophobic behavior with 167◦ contact angle of water droplet, which is larger than that of ﬂuorinated polymer ﬂat surface. The more the surface hydroxyls are, the more hydrophilic the surfaces are. Meanwhile, the larger the aspect ratio of ZnO nanorod arrays is, the larger its drophobicity is. The results of this study might have a simple and feasibility pathway to the fabrication of superhydrophobic cleaning materials used in engineering ﬁelds.

Worm control approaches and their impact on status of anthelmintic resistance at an organized sheep farm
Authors: SINGH D , SWARNKAR C P
Published: March 2023

The aim of study was to ascertain efficiency of different worm management strategies in reversion to susceptibility to anthelmintics in sheep maintained at Sheep Breeding Farm, Fatehpur (Rajasthan). An increase in efficacy of benzimidazole (BZ) from nil to 14 and 75% was observed after 6 and 8 years of withdrawal, respectively. The restricted use of imidothiazoles enhanced efficacy from 25% in 1998 to 92% in 2007. From 2010, community dilution strategies through introduction of newly purchased sheep were implemented and evaluated for their impact on reversion to susceptibility after 5 years. A marginal increase in BZ efficacy (up to 43%) was observed after introduction of new animals possessing anthelmintic resistant/susceptible worms and rotational use of anthelmintic types. A moderate rise in BZ efficacy (up to 56%) was observed on community dilution through introduction of Nali sheep possessing susceptible Haemonchus contortus and use of BZs and closantel in rotation. A significant increase in BZ efficacy (up to 88%) was noticed on community dilution through introduction of Marwari sheep possessing susceptible H. contortus and application of targeted selective treatment (TST) using closantel. The efficacy of tetramisole (TEM) increased from 25% (1998) to 92% (2007) after 8 years of withdrawal TEM which further increases to 99% (2015) after introduction of TEM susceptible H. contortus through newer sheep coupled with rotation of anthelmintic classes. The results indicated that just withdrawal of ineffective anthelmintic is not sufficient enough to cause evident reversion to susceptibility. However, community dilution coupled with TST with newer class of anthelmintic will help in reversion to susceptibility in gastrointestinal nematodes at faster rate in sheep.

The study was conducted to determine the virulence associated genes and antimicrobial resistance of S. suis associated with various disease conditions of pigs. The VAGs mrp and arcA were present in 79.41% (each) of the isolates whereas sly gene was carried by 64.70% isolates. mrp+ + sly+ + arcA+ mrp+ + sly+ mrp+ + arcA+ and sly+ +arcA+ genes were carried by 23.52%, 20.58%, 35.29% and 20.58% isolates respectively. All isolates were negative for epf gene. Interestingly all the invasive strains carried sly genes whereas only 25% strains from cases of pneumonia carried this gene. The most effective antimicrobial againstsuis was ampicillin (85.29%) and the isolates showed high frequency of resistance to tetracycline (82.35%). The occurrence of relatively high levels of resistance of S. suis to some antimicrobials (e.g. macrolides, tetracyclines, and sulphonamides) as observed in the present study may represent a human health concern.

Published: March 2023

An experiment was undertaken involving maternal dietary manipulation (NRC 1994-diet A or higher plane of nutrition-diet B), in ovo nutrient injection (in ovo essential amino acids- INA; linolenic acid, linoleic acid, retinol and DL-alpha-tocopherol-INFV; in ovo essential amino acids, linolenic acid, linoleic acid, retinol and DL-alphatocopherol- INAFV, sham control-S and un injected control-C) in a 2 × 4 factorial design. Turkey breeder hens (200) and viable toms (24) of 30 to 35 weeks of age of small white variety were distributed into 2 treatment groups comprising 4 replicates of 25 hens and 3 toms in each treatment. First 4 replicates were offered diet A and the other 4 replicates were maintained on a higher plane of nutrition (diet B) for 8 weeks. Fertile eggs (548) were collected and on 21st embryonic day (ED), the eggs were in ovo injected with nutrients. In ovo nutrient injected chicks had significantly better FCR compared to the control group and INA treatment poults had significantly better FCR compared to the other treatment groups throughout the experiment. Small intestine length was significantly lower in the INAFV treatment group compared to the other treatment groups. Caecal length was significantly lower in the INA treatment group compared to the un-injected control group and the INFV group. Hence, it may be concluded that in ovo injection of nutrients may have a positive effect in production indices of turkey poults.

Published: March 2023

Contribution of livestock in terms of income, milk based nutrition, man days generated, FYM, socio-cultural importance was assessed among 120 livestock farmers of Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir. Data were collected using semi-structured interview schedule. The study revealed that livestock's contribution towards total house hold income ranged from 16.32 to 86.59%. Milk contributed about 1/3rd of dietary fat requirement of the farmers except among the farmers of Nyoma block where it contributed more than 80%. Similar trend was also observed in milk based protein (22-25%) and calcium intake (5-6%) in fulfilling the family requirement of Kargil, TSG and Chochut blocks. FYM obtained by the farmers was highest in Chochut (1.99 q/year) and lowest in Nyoma (0.67 q/year). But employment (man days/year) generated by livestock enterprise was more in Nyoma (561.91) as compared to the famers of other blocks that ranged from 294.11 to 326.67 per annum per family. Use of animal for mitigating the uncertainties in the region was not a common practice.
