Tick is an ectoparasite in cattle that economically very important because it can reduce livestock production and productivity. This study aims to determine the prevalence and to identify types of tick in Bali’s cattle in Badung Regency. The prevalence of tick in relation to gender and age was studied. A total of 285 cattle was examined, of which, 65 (22.8%) cattle were infected by tick. The female cattle showed higher (25%) tick infestation than male cattle (19.05 %) without significant differences (p>0.05). Prevalence of tick was significantly higher (p<0.05) in old cattle, age above 5 years (33.7%), followed by adult cattle, age of 2 -5 years (20.6%), and the least prevalence in young cattle, age under 2 year (13.3%). Two genera of tick were identified from the study. Among the tick, Boophilus sp. 15.17% was the most prevalent tick genus identified, while the rest was Rhipicephalus sp. 7.01 %. Favorable predilection sites for tick were ears, mammary gland, back leg, and neck of the cattle. This study could help in a better understanding of the prevalence of tick patterns and risk factors in cattle populations for the implementation of effective control plans.

Objetivo: Revisar e compilar informações descritas na literatura sobre a composição química e atividades biológicas do gênero Crescentia. Revisão bibiografica: A Crescentia cujete L. mostrou ser tão eficaz quanto Crescentia alata kunt em relação aos efeitos terapêuticos. As espécies possuem diversos compostos bioativos isolados e identificados através de técnicas espectrométricas, compostos estes, ligados às atividades biológicas apresentadas nas espécies do gênero, até mesmo as atividades que necessitam de relativa toxicidade, como atividades antimicrobiana e anticancerígena, destacando-se como uma futura candidata a fornecer seus componentes para a indústria farmacêutica. Muitas espécies são utilizadas, no uso popular, de forma inadequada, tendo em vista que grande parte dos usuários não possuem conhecimentos científicos acerca das suas atividades biológicas, resultando por vezes, em efeitos adversos. Considerações finais: Apesar do uso do gênero para fins terapêuticos se mostrar bastante difundido, em algumas situações essa prática pode não ser recomendada, devido a toxicidade que permeia as substâncias presentes, fazendo-se necessários estudos de toxicidade de modo a estimar a segurança bem como os verdadeiros potenciais terapêuticos.

Dental practitioners should use their knowledge and skills and be able to identify and effectively treat dental diseases in children. The child’s and family’s response should be taken into account for providing safe and effective treatment for the paediatric patients. The present study aims to analyse the preference of GA by parents for children under 5 years of age. This retrospective study was conducted among the paediatric dental patients under 5 years of age visiting Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals. The data of the 154 patients who were indicated for GA procedure were collected. The collected data was statistically analysed using IBM SPSS Software (20.0). The results proved that the majority (72.08%) of the parents did not accept the GA procedure. Parents of 3 year old children were the most accepting (44.2%) of GA procedure. Among gender,parents of female children show a slightly higher percentage of acceptance (51.2%) when compared to the parents of the male children (48.8%). Most common reason for acceptance was parents of children undergoing full mouth rehabilitation procedures(55.8%). Majority of the parents who accepted the GA procedure were educated (83.7%) which shows that educational qualification plays an important role. Therefore it is important to bring the positive attitude among parents for delivering safe and quality dental treatment.

Structural Behavior of Pipelines Buried in Expansive Soils under Rainfall Infiltration (Part I: Transverse Behavior)
Authors: Bouatia Mohammed , Demagh Rafik , Derriche Zohra 
Published: September 2020

Landslides, fault movements as well as shrink/swell soil displacements can exert important additional loadings on soil buried structures such as pipelines. These loadings may damage the buried structures whenever they reach the strength limits of the structure material. This paper presents a two-dimensional plane-strain finite element analysis of an 800 mm diameter water supply pipeline buried within the expansive clay of the Ain-Tine area (Mila, Algeria), considering the unsaturated behavior of the soil under a rainfall infiltration of 4 mm/day intensity and which lasts for different time durations (8, 15 and 30 days). The simulations were carried out using the commercial software module SIGMA/W and considering different initial soil suction conditions P1, P2, P3 and P4. The soil surface heave and the radial induced forces on the pipeline ring (i.e., Axial , Shear forces and bending moments ) results indicated that following the changes of suction the rainfall infiltration can cause considerable additional loads on the buried pipeline. Moreover, these loads are proportionally related to the initial soil suction conditions as well as to the rainfall infiltration time duration. The study highlighted that the unsaturated behavior of expansive soils because of their volume instability are very sensitive to climatic conditions and can exert adverse effects on pipelines buried within such soils. As a result, consistent pipeline design should seriously consider the study of the effect of the climatic conditions on the overall stability of the pipeline structure.
