Nutritional status of children is a momentous issue across the world. Children are mostly suffering from various infectious diseases, which are ensuing through malnutrition or incommensurable nutritional requirement of children. Household food security, caring practice for women and children, health environment and services and infectious diseases are the major cause of mortality particularly in children in many developing countries. The findings of the review clearly relate malnutrition, which is one of the most underlying causes of infectious diseases among children and existing evidence shows that the prevalence of under-nutrition and other forms of malnutrition among under-five children was high and they are easily affected by infectious disease such as diarrhea, measles, malaria, acute respiratory infection etc.A well-designed social protection system has great potential to improve malnutrition in Bangladesh. The international and domestic evidence presented in this review clearly demonstrates the importance of an integrated approach to tackling malnutrition in Bangladesh. Severe wasting may be reduced by simply improving food intake but tackling chronic malnutrition requires integrated social protection programmes. Programmes that have effectively reduced stunting and wasting have also addressed many of the underlying causes of malnutrition, including improving household food security and the health environment.

Published: February 2020

Yeast surface display has become an increasingly popular tool for protein engineering and library screening applications. Although, recent advances have greatly expanded the capability of yeast surface display, the protein display system is still far away from industrial application. One of the major components of a stable, efficient and successful yeast surface display system is cell wall anchor protein with which our desired foreign protein will be attached. We studied 80 different yeast cell wall anchored proteins originated mostly from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans. We studied in details all the cell wall proteins in order to find out suitable cell wall proteins to recommend for the researchers to use in the construction of yeast display system. We considered selective physical properties of different yeast cell wall proteins that are crucial for selecting best suited cell surface anchor proteins which are molecular weight, binding domain of anchor protein, length of amino acid and fusion site. Finally, our studies showed that Ccw11, Ccw12. Cwp1, Cwp2, Dan1, Gas1, Gas5, Exg1, Ycr89, Ecm33, Pga4, Sap9, Sap10, Pst1, Pir1, Pir2, Pir3, Pir4, Cis1, Scw4, Scw6, Bgl2, Uth1, Scw1 are the promising and suitable cell wall anchor proteins could be used in construction of yeast cell surface display system. Additionally, this review presents detailed information about all the cell wall proteins in a single work. The future researchers in this field will be able to construct more efficient yeast display system for recombinant protein production at industrial scale using the knowledge presented in this work.

Published: February 2020

Low birth weight (LBW) has been considered as the strongest predictor of child morbidity and mortality. The goal of this study was to inspect the socio-demographics and nutritional status of mother and its impact on neonatal birth weight. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 85 mothers with third trimester’s pregnancy period of age between 17 to 35 years in maternal health care centers at Chittagong, Bangladesh. Average age of mothers was 24 04 years and age at marriage it was 18 03 years. Height and MUAC of the respondents were 153 5.37 cm and 25.53 3.09 cm respectively. Half of participants suffered from anemia (Hb level <11 g/dL). Average birth weight was 2759.7 561.42 g. The preterm birth was 10.6% and about 22.35% babies delivered by C section. Twenty eight percent of offspring were born with low birth weight (LBW), among the LBW babies, 11.76 % were born at home and 16.47 % at hospital. Maternal height (AOR: 2.79; 95% CI: 1.02-8.44), Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) (AOR 2.73; 95% CI 1.03-8.01) and gestational age (AOR 8.92, 95% CI: 1.76-45.16) were significantly associated with LBW of babies after adjusting the education level of mothers. The proportion of LBW was not negligible which still national public health concern in Bangladesh. Proper nutrition and monitoring on gestational length might minimize small size babies.

Isolation, identification and pathogenicity of fungal organisms responsible for the postharvest spoilage of sweet oranges, cucumber and lettuce at Sharada market in Kano metropolis, Nigeria was carried out in the present study. Samples showing symptoms of rot were collected from the retailers in the market and conveyed to the laboratory using polyethene bags. Small portion from rotten parts were cut and surface sterilized in 1% of Sodium hydrochloride and rinsed in several changes of sterile distilled water. They were plated on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) and observed for fungal growth. Identification was done macroscopically and microscopically. For pathogenicity test, healthy sweet oranges, cucumber and lettuce were plugged with pure cultures of the fungal isolates, thus, frequency of occurrence and disease severity of the pathogen were evaluated. Seven fungi namely Rhizopus spp., Aspergillus flavus, Mucor spp., Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia spp. and Fusarium oxysporum were isolated. Severity of decay ranged from 6.39–46.15% for all fungal isolates, while the controls showed 0%. Pathogenic microorganisms on fruits and vegetables are a potential health hazard to man and animals following ingestion. Proper handling from the farm as well as during storage and the avoidance of mixing of diseased ones with the healthy ones were identified as important factors in preventing loss and health complication at the event of consumption. The use of suitable chemical treatment of the orange is also recommended as means of reducing economic loss due to fungal pathogens.

Published: February 2020

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of dietary supplementation of Halquinol on productive performances, carcass characteristics and hematological parameters of Sonali chicken. A total number of 72 Sonali chicks of 07 days old were divided randomly into 04 experimental groups occupying 03 replications in each groups among which four dietary groups were considered i.e. control group (T0), Halquinol @ 0.25g/ kg feed in group (T1); Halquinol @ 0.5g/ kg feed in group (T2); and Halquinol @ 1g/ kg feed in group (T3) respectively. Results indicated that body weight and body weight gain were increased significantly (P<0.05) in birds supplied with Halquinol @ 1g/ kg feed group (T3) compared to the other groups. Higher (P<0.05) feed intake and better (P<0.05) FE were also observed in group T3 compared to the other groups. This result also indicated that body weight, body weight gain, feed intake, and feed efficiency were increased along with increasing dose of Halquinol. No significant (P>0.05) differences were found in dressing percentage, liver, heart and gizzard among the dietary treatment groups. However, the dressing weight, breast meat, thigh meat, and head weight was significantly (p<0.05) higher in birds supplied with Halquinol @ 1g/ kg feed group (T3) compare to control (T0) group. Present study revealed that hematological parameters, including Hb, PCV and ESR value of the birds of different groups does not differ significantly among the groups and it was within the normal range. Cost effective analysis of the experiment demonstrated that by using Halquinol @ 1g/ kg feed significantly (P<0.05) higher net profit than other dietary treatment groups and also highest profit over control (14.95Tk.). Based on the results of present study it may be suggested that supplementation of Halquinol can be used as a commercial growth promoter for the production of Sonali chicken.

Published: February 2020

Mango hopper is considered as one of the most destructive pests of mango in Bangladesh which can be effectively controlled by using bio-agents and botanical pesticides. An experiment was conducted at the IPM Laboratory of the Department of Entomology, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh to study the comparative performance of three botanicals (Neem, Mahogany and Karanja oils) and a microbial pesticides (Beauveria bassiana) for the management of mango hopper (Idioscopus clypealis). The experiment was designed following completely randomized design (CRD) using 39 petridishes of 12 cm in diameter. Four insecticides each with 3 different doses (1%, 2% and 3%) were evaluated for their effectiveness. The data on the number of hopper killed were collected every day of a week. Results showed that all the three doses of Beauveria bassiana effectively controlled mango hopper. All the treatments influenced significantly in the management of mango hopper in comparison to the control. Among the botanicals 3% Neem oil was the most effective best but relatively lower performance was observed in case of 1% Mahogany oil. Observation on the effect of a microbial pesticide (Beauveria bassiana) and some botanicals on the infestation of mango hopper at different stages showed that hopper population at pea-shaped after prior to the second spray was maximum in 1% Mahogany oil (13.87) and minimum number of hopper was found in 3% Beauveria bassiana (7.33). Overall results suggested that Beauveria bassiana as a microbial pesticide performed better than botanicals in controlling mango hopper and resulting in higher yield.

Common Suffixes That Form Nominal Parts of Speech From Verbs in the Kyrgyz and Chagatai Languages
Authors: Akynbekova A. 
Published: February 2020

In Kyrgyz linguistics, texts and translations of written monuments have been studied and studied by language commentaries. However, despite the fact that some opinions have been expressed in Kyrgyz linguistics about the Chagatai language used by the Kyrgyz during the XVII-XIX centuries and about the works written at that time, there are still almost no research works.	To this end, this article, based on the works of Russian and foreign scientists, on the basis of comparative-historical method, studied word-forming suffixes that produce nominal parts of speech from verbs (noun, adjective, numeral and pronoun), Chagatai and modern Kyrgyz language. In it, specific examples indicate the units of their functions. As a result, according to the facts given in the article, over time, the word-forming suffixes of the Chagatai language were subject only to phonetic changes, while most suffixes are still stable. This is due to the fact that the forms that make up the grammar system in comparison with the vocabulary that makes up the dictionary system of the language remain unchanged for a long time. Therefore, conclusions were made about the need to study the materials of the modern Kyrgyz language on the basis of historical linguistic facts, as a special object of research on the issues of proximity, kinship with the Chagatai language. After all, under the conditions of sovereignty, we must thoroughly study the nature of our writing, which in our history has not yet been paid attention to, which has remained out of our field of vision and has not been studied in accordance with the requirements of the time. Research in this direction can contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the real links between the present and the past of the language and culture of the Kyrgyz people, the restoration of its unique, unique customs and attitudes.
