Abstract Background: The aim of this paper is to identify the scientific
production on the knowledge of early childhood educators regarding language development
and their pedagogical practices in Brazil, considering the educators’ perceptions.
Objectives: This review aims to identify relevant literature and synthesize existing
research on the topic of early childhood educators' knowledge of language development.
Methods: For this purpose, the following databases were searched: LILACS, SciElo and
ERIC, using the following keywords: language development, language acquisition, oral
language, children's language, early childhood education and preschool teachers. The
inclusion criteria for the review were scientific articles published in English and/or
Portuguese, studies with early childhood education teachers /educators as participants,
published between 2012 and February 2022, qualitative and/or quantitative studies, and
articles published as full text and open access. Results: The low production found may
reflect the need for more publications on this topic, especially in the Portuguese
context. It was concluded that the knowledge acquired by teachers during their training
paths has a reciprocal impact on the beliefs and practices presented by these
professionals in the context of early childhood education intervention. Conclusion:
After identifying the published works, this research proved to be relevant and
convergent with current conceptions regarding the importance of the link between the
knowledge of language acquisition and development acquired by early childhood educators
and their practices in school contexts on a daily basis. Keywords: Early Childhood,
Language Development, Pedagogical Practices, Teacher Training.

Abstract Background: Health-harming stressors increase frailty in the elderly,
which is linked to dementia progression. Objectives: The aim of this study was to
evaluate a clinical frailty scale in elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment
(MCI) and dementia compared to those without cognitive impairment. Methods: An
analytical, individual-based, observational study was conducted on 212 elderly
individuals (82 with normal cognition, 64 with MCI, and 66 with dementia), matched for
age, sex, and schooling. Results: When comparing the groups of normal and demented
patients, individuals with MCI exhibited an intermediate level of functionality (p-value
< 0.001) and clinical frailty (p-value < 0.001), as determined by statistical
analysis using ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test. Conclusion: The findings suggest that
the intermediate degree of functionality and clinical frailty observed in patients with
MCI enables the implementation of individual multidomain intervention programs. These
interventions may potentially mitigate the progressive decline associated with dementia.

Authors: R. Siddiqui  , Shirazi S. A.
Published: May 2024

: Punjab is not only the most fertile province of Pakistan but also the most fertile demographically with 3.4 total fertility rate. The fertility rate is an important demographic phenomenon that has significant implications for sustainable development, particularly in agricultural regions such as Punjab, Pakistan. In recent years, scholars and policymakers have increasingly focused on the link between fertility rate and soil fertility. As soil fertility is an important determinant of agricultural productivity and food security. This research article has explored the relationship and impact of the main climatic factors like maximum and minimum temperature, precipitation and Gross Primary Productivity on total fertility rate of districts of Punjab, for the year 2021. Geospatial Structural modeling (GSSM) has been designed to estimate the influence of climatic factors directly on fertility and its indirect influence on fertility through gross primary productivity and child mortality rate on total fertility rate of districts of Punjab. All the said geospatial primary and secondary datasets are analyzed in ArcGIS environment and resultant map are generated. The results shows that there is the direct and significant impact of gross primary productivity and child mortality rate on the total fertility rate. While there is indirect impact of mean annual precipitation, mean annual maximum and minimum temperature on the total fertility rate. Hence, there is negative direct impact of said factors on total fertility rate of the districts of the Punjab

Enhancing economical poultry production using low-cost animal blood plasma powder incorporated in poultry rations is a good step toward sustainable poultry production. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation of animal blood plasma powder on production performance, dressed weight, and immune response of broilers. Bovine plasma was separated from the whole blood through centrifugation. A total of 240 day-old broiler chicks having uniform body weights were randomly assigned into 4 treatment groups (AP0, AP1, AP2, and AP3). Each group had three replicates of 20 chicks (n=3; 20 birds/replicate). Ross broiler management guidelines were followed for feeding, watering, and vaccination. broiler starter ration (23.2% CP and 2990kcalME/kg) was provided during the brooding stage and switched to the grower diet (20.08% CP and 3112 kcal/kg ME) up to 28 days and finisher (18.86% CP and 3208 kcal/kg ME). Animal blood plasma powder supplemented into the diet at different levels AP1 (0.5g/kg), AP2 (1g g/kg), AP3 (1.5g g/kg), and AP0 (Control 0g/kg) for different groups. The treatment was continued for seven weeks. Significantly lower (P<0.05) feed intake (2809.3g±5.36) and high body weight gain (1513.3g±9.83) were found for the higher supplemented group compared to the non-supplemented group (1441.0g ±4.04). Overall FCR was significantly (p< 0.05) lower for supplemented groups compared with the control group. The decreasing (p< 0.05) trend in FCR in supplemented groups was increasing the level of bovine animal blood plasma supplementation in the diet. The dressing percentage was significantly (P<0.05) higher for supplemented groups as compared to the control. Non-significant differences were observed in haemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody titer against Newcastle disease and mortality among groups. It was concluded that animal blood plasma could be safely used in broiler ration for better performance without any loss to antibodies titer and mortality. Animal blood plasma has more capability to be used as an alternative and cheap source of protein in poultry ration.

Authors: F. Ellahi
Published: May 2024

The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the effect of inorganic fertilizer (Nitrogen and Phosphorus), and farmyard manure on morpho-physiological parameters of potato. Randomized Complete Block Design with five treatments (T1: Urea; T2: Nitrophos; T3: Di-ammonium Phosphate (DAP); T4: farmyard manure (FYM) and T5: Control Treatment) were used. Each treatment is replicated 4 times. The result showed that fertilizers significantly affect the number of compound leaves, flowers, number and length of lateral stem plant -1 and length, girth and weight of potato tubers. The plant treated with DAP showed a plant height of 83.49 cm while the control treatment showed the lowest plant height (59.33 cm). The plant treated with farmyard manure showed a stem girth of 5.25 cm, while the lowest stem girth was observed in control. The highest tuber weight (100.42 g) was noted under the treatment of Urea, followed by Nitrophos (98.80 g), DAP (78.97 g) and farmyard manure (75.97 g). Total tuber weight per plant 622.95g, 549.45 g, 423.41 g, and 401.74 g under Urea, Nitrophos, DAP and farmyard manure were observed respectively. In addition, the highest Girth of potato tuber (14.44 cm) was observed at T2 Treatment (Nitrophas). It is concluded that using inorganic fertilizers and farmyard manure would be beneficial for achieving sustainable yields.

Published: May 2024

Secretory capacity of fungi, Aspergillus terreus (A. terreus), for phytase production is up to the mark. Soil samples containing A. terreus (n=20) were randomly collected in sterile plastic zipper bags, and recognized microscopically and morphologically to screen for phytase production. In the present study, A. terreus phytase production was quantified by providing different physical conditions i.e. temperature and pH to get their optimum level. Thermal stability was obtained by measuring stability at temperature range of 35°C, 55°C, 75°C, and 95°C, whereas, pH stability was estimated at intervals of 2h, 4h, 6h, and 8h. Chemical stability of phytase was judged by analyzing the effects of common earth crust metal ions such as Na+1, K+1, Ba+2, Ca+2, Cu+2, Mg+2, Mn+2, and Fe+3. Phytase production was assessed on phytase screening medium to observe the zone of hydrolysis. The highest phytase production was given by sample 16 (PAST-16) which was; 271.49 ± 8.14 units/mL (FTU/mL) and the lowest was given by sample 3 (PAST-3); 92.15 ± 5.53 FTU/mL. Temperature induced reduction in phytase enzyme and the highest reduction was noted at 95°C for 1 hour and the lowest reduction was recorded at 35°C for 15 min. Moreover, acidic pH (pH=2) induced more reduction for 1 hour exposure than high pH (pH=6) for 15 min. All metal ions, at their high concentration, adversely affected the phytase activity of A. terrus and Cu+2 showed the maximum reduction in phytase. Thus, the present study explored the physico-chemical stability of fungal phytase that can be used in poultry diet as a cheapest source of digestibility improving agent
MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION, ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY AND BIOFILM FORMING ABILITY OF PASTEURELLA MULTOCIDA ISOLATED FROM THE RESPIRATORY MICROBIOTA OF HEALTHY BOVINES
Authors: H. A. Mushtaq
Published: May 2024

Livestock plays an important role in the economy of the country because it provides food producing animals. Pasteurella multocida which is an opportunistic pathogen of upper respiratory tract of animals and it has been known to cause many harmful diseases may survive in animal body by forming biofilm in different organs. So, the presence of this bacterium in animals may lead to transfer and threaten the human health by food chain. In the last few years, one of the major problems that alarms and evokes a major horrific threat to human being is the bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents. Due to deficiency of antimicrobial agents in pipeline and emergence of new mechanisms of intra antimicrobial resistance, many surveillance programs have been set up for its containment. Many factors are responsible for this grave situation like high use of antibiotics in animals. So, the current study concluded that all of the 76 isolates of Pasteurella multocida out of 100 samples were confirmed through PCR and found sensitive to florfenicol (100%), gentamycin (92.11%), chloramphenicol (84.21%) and kanamycin (72.37%) respectively. For tetracycline and neomycin sensitivity were (69.73%) and (64.47%) respectively against the bacteria. Whereas tilmicosin and spectinomycin sensitivity were recorded as (30.27%) and (23.69%). Streptomycin (19.73%), sulfadiazine (7.89%), erythromycin (3.94%) and clindamycin (0.0 %) were least sensitive. It was also concluded that when all pure isolates of Pasteurella multocida were tested for Biofilm assay out of 76 isolates categorized as: non biofilm producer (7.89%), weak biofilm producer (34.21%), moderate biofilm producer (46.05%) and strong biofilm producer (11.84%). Hence, it was concluded that Pasteurella multocida isolated from cattle and buffaloes were found to form biofilm in in-vitro condition.

Majority of Industrial wastewater, both treated and untreated is being pumped into drains in Lahore; mainly converging to Hudiara drain. The same is already polluted when it enters Pakistan’s boundary by wastewater from India and as it passes through Lahore, it’s pollution levels are magnified by addition of mainly Charrar & Sattukatla Drain. In this study we performed weekly complete analysis of some Physicochemical and microbiological analysis of Hudiara drain on point of entry in Pakistan as well as the same for Charrar & Sattukatla Drains. It was observed that the organic loading of wastewater has increased 2-3 times in the last 10 years with maximum values of 1,406 and 413 mg/L obtained respectively. Major factor is the high concentration of suspended solids which ranged from 280 to 701 mg/L as well as high organic decomposition indicated by sulphides upto 23.85 mg/L. Moreover, the baseline pollution load of Hudiara Drain entering Pakistan as well as the pollution load our Industries and Adjacent canals exert directly and indirectly into Hudiara Drain.

Published: May 2024

The correlation between population growth and economic development has been a persistent subject of inquiry among demographers and development economists. While some academics assert that population growth impedes economic development, others contend that it is advantageous due to the expansion of the workforce. Thomas Robert Malthus posited that population increases surpass the growth of food resources, resulting in food shortages and a diminished standard of living. The Neo-Malthusian theory advocates for the implementation of population control measures. This research delves into the connection between population growth and economic development in Pakistan, examining the validity of Malthus' assumptions. As the sixth most populous country with limited land area, Pakistan's largest unit, Punjab, holds a substantial portion of its population and food production. Through the analysis of data spanning from 1971 to 2017, despite experiencing a rapid population growth rate of 2.4% in 2017, a positive association between population growth and food resources was identified throughout the studied period.

Published: May 2024

Quality of aggregate material reflects the physical, chemical and mineralogical properties of source rock. Limestone is main source of crushed rock aggregate, which is largely used by construction industry. There are few geological formations in Kohat-Potwar province which qualify the specific criteria for utilization as aggregate in building material. Khairabad Limestone exposed in Kalabagh area in Western Salt Range contains colossal quantity of minable aggregates. That’s why, we quantitatively examined this limestone of Paleocene age through several physical, chemical, mineralogical, engineering and mechanical tests to evaluate its aptness as aggregate material. AASHTO, ASTM, BS and NHA designated engineering tests including Los Angles Value (26.59%), Aggregate Impact Value (13.91%), Aggregate Crushing Value (12.84), soundness value (1.84%), coating and stripping of bitumen (96.4%), specific gravity (2.7), water absorption (0.83%), unit weight (1.65 g/cm3), total (elongation + flakiness) index (22.78%), and petrographic analysis (ASR & ACR) revealed that it is highly feasible aggregate resource with suitable properties. Investigated reserve is vast and thick enough to provide aggregate material to nearby local construction as well as national megaprojects. It would be a good contribution to the rising demand of construction materials in the country.

ABSTRACT The population of spiders and their predatory potency have been studied in Solanum melongena (brinjal) and Trichisanthes anguina (snake-gourd) fields in two different areas viz., Nangoor (pesticide free area) and Moongilthottam (frequently pesticide used area) of Nagapattinam District, Tamilnadu. Eight species of spiders viz., Argiope luzona (Walckenaer) (Argiopidae), Cyrtophora cicatrosa (Doleschall) (Arneidae), Chrysso argyrodiformis (Yaginuma) (Theridiidae), Hipossa pantherina (Thorell) (Lycosidae), Oxyopes lineatipes (C.L.Koch) (Oxyopidae), Oxyopes javanus (Thorell) (Oxyopidae), Peucetia viridana (Thorell) (Oxyopidae) and Lycosa pseudoannulata (Boescriberg and Strand) (Lycosidae) were recorded in both the plants in two selected areas. The population of spiders did not show significant difference between areas, plants and number of species of spiders. The predatory potency of web building spiders were estimated in the fields against insects found in the crop fields viz., Camponotus compressus (black ant) (Lalit kumar Jha), Occophylla smaragdina (tree ant) (Maxwell-Lefroy), Apis florae (honey bee) (Stebbing), Kallima inachus (butterfly) (Lalit kumar Jha), Plusia orichalcia (catterpiller) (Maxwell-Lefroy), Leuanodes orbonalis (moth) (Awasthi), Aphis gossypii (cotton aphids) (Lalit kumar Jha), Bemisia pabaci (whitefly) (Lalit kumar Jha), Culex quina (mosquitoe) (Lalit kumar Jha), Drosophila melanogaster (fruitfly) (Awasthi), Musca nebulo (housefly) (Awasthi), Amritodus alkinsoni (mango leaf hopper) (Awasthi), Macromia magnifica (dragonfly) (Awasthi), Epilachna vigintioctopuctata (beetle) (Awasthi) by counting the number of insects caught in the spider’s web and the result indicated that there has been a significant difference observed between the spider’s web-type and number of insects caught

ABSTRACT Cultivation of some pulses by distillery spentwash irrigation in normal and spentwash treated soil was studied. The primary treated distillery spentwash (PTSW) and 33% spentwash were analyzed for their additive plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, sulphur and other physical and chemical parameters. Untreated soil (plot-1) and spentwash treated soil (plot-2) were tested for chemical and physical parameters. The seeds of pulses (Namadhari and Mahyco) were sown in the prepared land dimension of 4' x 6' blocks in both plot-1 and plot-2. Seeds were irrigated with raw water and 33% spentwash. The nature of yields were studied and compared. Irrigation with 33% spentwash more yield for all pulses in plot-2 than compare to plot1 concludes that spentwash treated soil is enriched with plant nutrients.

ABSTRACT Powdery mildew caused by Phyllactinia corylea (Pers.) Karst is a serious disease of mulberry inflicting considerable qualitative as well as quantitative losses. Owing to non eco-friendly nature, toxicity to silkworm, high cost and other side effects of chemical control measures, search for other management strategies devoid of such drawbacks becomes inevitable. In the present study, five biocontrol agents viz., Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma harzianum, Gliocladium roseum, Trichothecium roseum and Chaetomium indicum were evaluated for their efficacy against powdery mildew of mulberry. Culture filtrate of these biocontrol agents were tested in vitro for their fungitoxicant activity against conidial germination of P. corylea. Among the culture filtrate of biocontrol agents tested, both T. viride and T. harzianum @ 50.0% were highly effective and inhibited the conidial germination by 75.08% and 72.23%, respectively. Gliocladium roseum, T. roseum and C. indicum each at 6.25% concentration were the least effective treatments and did not provide more than 11.0% conidial germination inhibition. The in vitro treatments exhibiting conidial germination inhibition of more than 50.0% were also tested in vivo for the management of the disease. Culture filtrates of T. viride and T. harzianum both at 50.0% concentration were equally most effective and were at par with carbendazim 50 wp @ 0.05% by providing 65.14% — 68.68% disease control.

ABSTRACT Marine sponges (Porifera) are one of the most productive marine organisms. Eighty per cent of sponges (ethanolic extracts) were found to have insecticidal activity against fifth instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus (Say.) (Diptera: Culicidae) and Achaea janata (Linn.) (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera) and Pericallia ricini (Fab.) (Lepidoptera: Arctidae). Of the twelve sponges, five of them like Clathria longitoxa (Hentschel) (Poecilosclerida: Microcionidae), Callyspongia diffusa (Ridley) (Haplosclerida: Callyspongiidae), Haliclona pigmentifera (Dendy), Sigmadocia carnosa (Dendy), (Haplosclerida: Chaliniidae), and Denrilla nigra (Dendy) (Dendroceratidae: Darwinellidae) showed significant insecticidal activity. This paper clearly elucidated that C. longitoxa and Callyspongia diffusa (Rid.) were found to be more active than the remaining tested sponges. Screened twelve sponges showed the inhibition of larval growth ranged between 9-70% on A. janata and 10- 96% on P. ricini respectively. From the results, we conclude that secondary metabolites of sponges were found to be an effective biopesticides against lepidopteran pests and larvae of C. quinquefasciatus.

ABSTRACT Corcyra cephalonica, the rice moth was treated with andrographolide at a concentration of 5 µg per day in fluid volume of 5 µl of acetone. The effects of such a treatment were studied till the adult emergence. There was nearly 60 % pupal mortality and the adults that emerged, demonstrated morphological aberrations. The application of andrographolide mimics the juvenile hormone, appears to cause desruption in the metamorphic events leading to mortality of pupae, delayed pupal – adult transformation and structural abnormalities. From this study it is evidence that andrographolide possesses properties similar to juvenile hormone and its analogue.

ABSTRACT In the present study, ethanol extract of Clerodendrum inerme L. (Verbenaceae), Withania somnifera L. (Solanaceae), Gliricidia sepia L. (Fabaceae), Cassia tora L. (Caesalpiniaceae) and Eupatorium odoratum L. (Asteraceae) were evaluated for their efficacy on mortality and progeny production of rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Adult insects were exposed to the 2.5 and 5% extracts treated wheat and mortality was assessed after 1, 2, 7, 14 and 21 days. Subsequently, all adults were removed and the treated grains remained at the same conditions for an additional 45 days. After this interval, the commodity was checked for progeny production. All extracts, the beetles mortality was increased in dose dependent manner. Results indicated that C. inerme and W. somnifera extracts were more effective than G. sepia, C. tora and E. odoratum against adult insects. Interestingly, the progeny production (Fl) was complete by suppressed even in lowest dose. It was concluded that both C. inerme and W. somnifera can be used for the protection of stored wheat from infestations of S. oryzae.

ABSTRACT Petroleum ether extract (1000, 500, 250, 125 ppm) of Toddalia asiatica L., Aegle mermelos Corr., Murraya koengili Spreng., leaves and seed extracts of Alocasia indica Schott., were tested for their larvicidal activity on fourth instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus Say results showed that tested plant extracts possessed insecticidal activity. The synergetic effect of mixture of methanol extracts of T. asiatica seeds and the leaves of A. indica (1:1) at 10.265 ppm concentration showed larval mortality, pupal mortality, half ecdysed organisms, larval-pupal intermediates and colour changes during fourth instar stage. It is suggested that all the plants possess larvicidal properties that could be developed and used as natural insecticides for mosquito control.
Safe Access to Asylum in Europe
Authors: Endres de Oliveira Pauline
Published: May 2024

The book provides a comprehensive legal assessment of four different types of safe pathways to protection in the EU: the asylum visa, resettlement, ad hoc humanitarian admission and sponsorship programs. It investigates the effects these pathways can have on the asylum paradox, that is the paradoxical interplay in current EU asylum policy between the granting of territorial protection on the one hand and the prevention of access to territory on the other. Based on the assumption, that the asylum paradox is the result of a conflict of responsibility principles, the book develops an analytical tool, a responsibility framework, for the analysis and assessment. Overall, the book identifies normative differences, depending on the specific pathway and its details of implementation.
The German-Jews' Identity and Reactions to the Nazi Policy
Authors: Ketko Tamar
Published: May 2024

In early April 1933, the racist laws went into effect in Nazi Germany. These officially dictated that all involvement with Jews should be severed by keeping a safe distance. On the eve of Hitler’s taking power, there were some six hundred thousand Jews in Germany. They enjoyed full civil rights and were deeply involved in social and political life. The German Jewish identity was clear-cut to most of them, and some were convinced that Nazi ideology had nothing to do with them. The following article, which focuses on the period between January 1933 and November 1938, will present some responses and identical dilemmas of those German Jews, who found it difficult to accept that Nazi laws include them as Jews only. It will describe their conduct within a community preparation that was gradually being formulated already in Zionist and German-Jewish responses and activities. Most of the sources and examples in this article are aimed to observe the German Jewish dilemma based on their dual cultural loyalty as Germans and as Jews as well. Describing these difficulties, and the German Jews' reactions to the Nuremberg Laws in 1935, and after the Kristallnacht pogrom in 1938, intends to describe expressions of uncertainty and a sense of detachment that characterizes German Jews more prominently. This article deals with the Legal-Racial Lows experienced as German Jews and its future impacts on their fate during the war and afterward.
Joint Project with the Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra and the University of Education Freiburg – “Peter and the Wolf” – Evaluation Study of a Multisensory Approach Conception
Authors: Brunner Georg
Published: May 2024

Educational projects conducted by symphony orchestras often focus only on one aspect of the music (e.g., cognitive or emotional). The concept of an educational project presented here integrates various senses with regard to multisensory learning and combines them in order to promote a holistic approach to music. Through this study, I aimed to investigate how various stakeholders (pupils, teachers, university students, and musicians) perceive the concept of a music education project. This project integrates multisensory approaches, employs learning stations, and incorporates a popular TV presenter during concert preparations. Data from n = 592 people were assessed. Semantic differentials, various items, and open questions were used to assess the pupils’ perception of the concerts. The data analyses consisted of descriptive statistics and the analysis of variance. The results showed a beneficial effect for all stakeholders of original encounters with music and of the above-mentioned multisensory learning approach. Moreover, gender differences appeared in the evaluation of the learning stations. In addition, the pupils’ status of playing a musical instrument was particularly important in “learning”, and age was significant for the basic acceptance of this approach. Based on these results, implications for music educators were provided in order to create age-/gender-specific offers and to test transferability to other music pieces.

Music teaching in public schools in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
Authors: Falavigna Gladis , Spier Marta
Published: May 2024

Thinking about new strategies for the teaching-learning process of music and other arts can mean both the use of current information and communication technologies – tablets, the internet, virtual learning environment, artificial intelligence – and online programs for musical scores. It would also be possible to carry out activities in artistic and cultural spaces outside the school environment. For example, concerts, exhibitions, musical auditions, technical visits to music schools, theater, and dance schools, among others. More than thinking about new strategies, perhaps it is urgent to expand the concept of the classroom.

The Problem of Adoption under Modern Islamic Legislation in the Arab States
Authors: Ebert Hans-Georg
Published: May 2024

Adoption comes under those legal regulations which are traditionally different in Western Christian and Islamic jurisprudence. Increasing efforts by international public welfare associations and individuals to give children a future via adoption clash with Islamic rules preventing it. Consequently, an analysis of traditional and modern legislation surrounding adoption is required. It seems that the development of some legal institutions to side-step the prohibition of adoption could improve children’s legal position.
