Identification of the causative agent of canine babesiosis in the Kirov Region
Authors: Skornyakova O. O. 
Published: June 2021

The purpose of the research is identifying a species of the causative agent of canine babesiosis in the Kirov Region.Materials and methods. To determine the parasite species, we microscopically examined smears from the peripheral blood of sick dogs stained by the Romanowsky-Giemsa method and Leucodif. The microscopy was performed with a binocular microscope Micromed-1. For morphometric assessment of the causative agent, we used a digital camera and software for image analysis ToupView.Results and discussion. We found parasites of various shapes and sizes in erythrocytes of the dogs’ blood in an amount from 1 to 4, rarely 8, 16, and 32. Parasites having large paired pear-shaped forms prevailed (100% in Kirov and 92.86% in Vyatskiye Polyany), which were mainly connected by thin ends at an acute angle and located in the center of an erythrocyte. In Vyatskiye Polyany, we found single small pear-shaped parasites in 7.14%, that were also located along the periphery of an erythrocyte. Based on morphological features, the causative agent of “large” Babesia infection (piroplasmosis) of dogs in the Kirov Region is Babesia (Piroplasma) canis (Piana et Galli Walerio, 1895), and of small Babesia infection of dogs is B. (P.) gibsoni (Patton, 1910). In the Kirov City environment, babesiosis proceeds in monoinfection (81.58% prevalence of infection), and the B. canis infection rate is 28.57% in the south of the Region. We recorded a mixed infection of B. canis + Anaplasma sp. (35.71%), B. canis + Anaplasma sp. + Ehrlichia canis (14.29%), B. canis + E. canis (14.29%), and B. gibsoni + Anaplasma sp. (7.14%) in 71.43%.

The purpose of the research is studying changes in the structures of the anterior eye of rabbits at acute opisthorchosis and paracoenogonymosis in experiment.Materials and methods. The studies were performed on sexually mature male rabbits. The first group consisted of animals infected with 50 metacercariae Opisthorhis felineus (Rivolta, 1884) (n = 3), and the second consisted of animals infected with 50 metacercariae Paracoenogonimus ovatus (Katsurada, 1914) (n = 3). The animals from the third group were control (n = 3). The study at opisthorchosis was performed at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 weeks after infection, and the study at paracoenogonymosis was only performed at 1 and 2 weeks in connection with rapidly proceeding infection. These groups were compared within 1 and 2 weeks and according to specific changes. The clinical study included the upper and lower eyelids turned outwards in animals, and examination of the conjunctival surface of the eyelids, epicanthus (third eyelid), cornea, limbus and sclera of the eyeball, and eyelash less edge of the eyelids at all periods of observation. The measurements were carried out with a millimeter ruler along the longest part of the formation. The data were processed statistically by calculating the arithmetic mean (M) with the standard error of mean (σ) using the Microsoft Excel 2007 software package, and changes in characteristics were assessed at follow-up by the Wilcoxon rank sum test.Results and discussion. In the acute phase of opisthorchosis, the structures of the anterior eye are damaged, which occurs after the first week of infection in the form of allergic conjunctivitis, episcleritis. We found follicular formations in the upper eyelid, in the outer corner of the eye with further synulosis by the 5th week, and vascular enhancement of the upper eyelid. Conjunctival and corneal changes a month later were of the type of trachomatous pannus with conjunctival hyperemia of both eyelids, edema, and reddening of the free eyelash less edge. The infection by P. ovatus showed no follicular formations or eyelid edema for two weeks. Thus, at opisthorchosis, we observed the phenomena of combined pathology of the visual organ with a specific component for which an independent name can be distinguished, specific parasite-associated ophthalmitis.

Published: June 2021

Wheat is the principal winter crop in Nepal. Drought affects 44% of the lands of the total wheat area in the country with a yield loss of 15–20%. This research focuses to minimize this loss through the identification of high-yielding lines stable across the drought stress and irrigated environments. The experiment was conducted in Alpha Lattice Design with 20 genotypes replicated twice with five blocks per replication from November 2019 to April 2020. The findings showed that genotypes, environments, and genotype-environment interaction have a highly significant effect on grain yield and explained 28.95%, 52.57%, and 18.47% of variation on yield, respectively. The which-won-where model revealed elite line NL 1420 is the most responsive line in the drought environment, followed by BL 4407, while elite line NL 1179 is the most stable line in irrigated environment. The mean vs stability model with principal component 1 and 2 explaining 65.76% and 34.24% respectively, showed that elite line NL 1420, BL 4407, BL 4919, Bhrikuti are both high yielding and stable lines while line NL 1179, Gautam, and NL 1384 are less stable in both test environments. Similarly, the ranking genotypes model indicated lines close to the ideal line are NL 1420, BL 4407, BL 4919, Bhrikuti as the most representative line for genotype evaluation. Thus, elite wheat line NL 1420 and NL 1179 are recommended as specifically adapted to drought and irrigated environments, respectively, and elite line NL 1420, BL 4407, BL 4919, Bhrikuti are recommended for further evaluation for stability.

Politik Hukum Penanganan Korupsi oleh Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi Pasca Disahkannya Undang-undang No. 19 Tahun 2019
Authors: Simbolon Nanci Yosepin 
Published: June 2021

Korupsi telah menghambat sistem pemerintahan berjalan dengan baik, sehingga akan berdampak pada pembangunan dan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Disahkannya UU No. 19 tahun 2019 telah memberikan arah baru dalam pemberantasan korupsi di Indonesia. Penelitian ini memfokuskan kajian pada dua permasalahan, yaitu Politik hukum pemberantasan korupsi oleh Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi pasca disahkannya UU No. 19 tahun 2019 dan kendala lembaga Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi dalam penanganan kasus korupsi di Indonesia saat ini. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif. Politik Hukum Pemberantasan Korupsi oleh Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi Pasca disahkannya UU No. 19 tahun 2019 adalah dengan melakukan uji materil UU No. 19 tahun 2019 ke Mahkamah Konstitusi sebagai bentuk perlawanan dari publik (masyarakat) agar UU No. 19 tahun 2019 yang notabanenya melemahkan fungsi KPK. Selain itu, KPK dalam melakukan tindakan-tindakan penanggulangan kasus korupsi di Indonesia saat ini tidak hanya mengedepankan upaya preventif tetapi juga represif tetap menjadi fokus penegakan hukum oleh KPK. Kendala lembaga Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi dalam penanganan kasus korupsi di Indonesia saat ini dapat dipilah menjadi dua yakni faktor internal dan eksternal. Faktor internal didasari pada melemahnya kedudukan, fungsi dan kewenangan KPK karena disahkannya UU No. 19 tahun 2019. Faktor Eksternal dipengaruhi oleh pengaruh politik kekuasaan pemerintah, dan Pengaruh dari budaya Aparatur Sipil Negara dan Pejabat Publik serta masyarakat Indonesia saat ini.
Malignant intracerebral nerve sheath tumor in a patient with Noonan syndrome: illustrative case
Authors: Allison Callum M. , Shumon Syed , Joshi Abhijit , Quaegebeur Annelies , Sinclair Georges , Surash Surash 
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) within the neuroaxis are rare, usually arising from peripheral and cranial nerves. Even more scarce are cranial subclassifications of MPNSTs termed “malignant intracerebral nerve sheath tumors” (MINSTs). These tumors are aggressive, with a strong tendency for metastasis. With this presentation, alongside resistance to adjunctive therapy, complete excision is the mainstay of treatment, although it is often insufficient, resulting in a high rate of mortality.

OBSERVATIONS
The authors report the case of an adult patient with a history of Noonan syndrome (NS) presenting with slowly progressive right-sided hemiparesis and right-sided focal motor seizures. Despite initial imaging and histology suggesting a left frontal lobe high-grade intrinsic tumor typical of a glioblastoma, subsequent molecular analysis confirmed a diagnosis of MINST. The patient’s neurological condition improved after gross-total resection and adjuvant chemo-radiation; he remains on follow-up.

LESSONS
MINSTs are rare neoplasms with a poor prognosis; management options are limited, with surgery being the cornerstone of treatment. Reports on rare tumors such as this will increase awareness of this particular pathology and disclose clinical experience. In this case, the authors were unable to establish a definite cause-and-effect relation between NS and MINST. Nevertheless, it remains the first reported case in the literature.
Spontaneous syrinx resolution in patient with Chiari I malformation: illustrative case
Authors: Gallo Elizabeth , Rahmathulla Gazanfar , Rao Dinesh , Tavanaiepour Kourosh , Tavanaiepour Daryoush 
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUIND
Chiari malformations include a spectrum of congenital hindbrain herniation syndromes. In patients with the most common subtype, Chiari malformation Type I, 50% to 75% develop a syrinx. The pathogenesis of syringomyelia is not well understood, with multiple theories outlined in the literature. Although the presence of a syrinx in a patient with Chiari malformation is generally accepted as an indication for surgical intervention, there are documented cases of spontaneous resolution that support a more conservative approach to management.

OBSERVATIONS
The authors reported a case of spontaneous resolution of a cervical syrinx in an adult with an unchanged Chiari malformation.

LESSONS
Given the possibility of spontaneous resolution over time, the authors believe a more conservative approach of observation with periodic surveillance, magnetic resonance imaging, and neurological examination should be considered in the management of a patient with a Chiari malformation and associated syringomyelia.
I templari e la Sindone: l'"ipotetica della falsità" e l'invenzione della storia
Authors: Vallerani Massimo 
Published: June 2021

- This article presents a critical review of Barbara Frale's book, I Templari e la sindone di Cristo. She maintains that the Knight Templars conserved the Turin shroud as a weapon against heresy. The theory is based on a partial and rather censored interpretation of original records and upon a series of unproven hypothesis. Nevertheless, the book is an interesting example of how today's authors of historical novels are inclined to confuse hypothesis with reality, thus creating a new narrative style that treats hypothetical propositions as real in order to fill in the blanks of a story and to recreate inexistent objects.Key words: Knight Templars, Shroud, Trial, Fictional, Hypothesis, Newspaper.Parole chiave: Templari, Sindone, Processo, Finzione, Ipotesi, Giornali.
Reinventando la rivoluzione. La tradizione khomeinista e il dibattito sulla democrazia in Iran
Authors: Rivetti Paola 
Published: June 2021

- Over the last thirty years, a constant work of reinvention of its revolutionary tradition has allowed the Islamic Republic of Iran to survive. The porosity of the institutional system and the flexibility of its revolutionary ideology have given way to the emergence of an intellectual debate which has become increasingly concerned about the question of democracy. The historiography is divided on the features of this debate and the reasons which have lead to its development. The author argues that the origin of the democratic discourse lies neither in the appropriation of the Western Liberal model; nor in a deviation from the revolutionary ideology, but rather in an original reinterpretation of the latter. The article explores the essence and the contents of the debate, taking into account its potentials and limits.Key words: Iran, Democracy, Debate, Revolution, Reformism, Reinvention.Parole chiave: Iran, democrazia, dibattito, rivoluzione, riformismo, reinvenzione.

Published: June 2021

This study was carried out to develop an in vitro propagation protocol for two tannia (Xanthosoma sagittifolium (L.) Schott) cultivars (green and purple), using shoot tip explants. Shoots were best initiated on the MS supplemented with 2.0 mg/l BAP. The highest number of shoot per explant (green tannia: 4.56 ± 0.35 purple tannia: 4.83 ± 0.26) was recorded on the MS supplemented with 2.5 mg/l BAP and 0.5 mg/l NAA. The longest shoot (green tannia: 3.92 ± 0.40 cm and purple tannia: 4.36 ± 0.46 cm) was recorded on the MS supplemented with 5.0 mg/l BAP, 1.0 mg/l Kn and 0.5 mg/l NAA. The highest number of roots per shoot (green tannia: 6.00 ± 0.74 and purple tannia: 5.83 ± 0.49) was obtained on the medium containing 2.0 mg/l IBA. The results of this study showed that tannia could efficiently be propagated in vitro by incorporating appropriate concentration of PGRs.

Published: June 2021

Agrobacterium mediated genetic transformation of BRRI Dhan 58 was conducted by using immature embryos following indirect regeneration. High percentage of callus induction at 96.5% was obtained when seeds of BRRI dhan 58 were cultured on modified MS medium supplemented with 2.5 mg/l 2, 4-D under dark condition. The maximum regeneration response was rerecorded when MS was supplemented with 3 mg/l BAP + 0.5 mg/l NAA and 1.0 mg/l Kn. Genetic transformation was performed using A. tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harboring pCAMBIA1301 plasmid carrying the marker genes for β-glucuronidase (GUS) and hygromycin resistance (hptII). Integration of the GUS gene into the genome of the rice plants was confirmed by PCR. The leaf segments of the PCR positive transformed plants showed the expression of GUS. The results of this study would be an effective tool for crop improvement and functional studies of gene on rice plant.

Comparison of early experience laparoscopic versus open partial
nephrectomy in terms of clinical, oncological and renal functional outcomes
Authors: Kılıç Mert , Çulpan Meftun , Yıldırım Asıf , Çaşkurlu Turhan 
Published: June 2021

Objective: Although laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) is minimally invasive, it is also a technically challenging procedure. Currently, open partial nephrectomy (OPN) remains the only alternative in many centers for T1 kidney tumors. We reported our initial experience of LPN compared to OPN regarding clinical, oncological findings and renal functions.
Material and Methods: Between 2004-2013, 81 patients who underwent OPN (n=55) or LPN (n=26) for clinically T1 renal tumors were included. Perioperative and postoperative data were compared, retrospectively. Follow-up times for OPN and LPN groups were 72.9± 41.1 and 47.6± 32.4 months, respectively (p<0.05).
Results: The mean tumor size and RENAL nephrometry scores were similar for both groups. Zero-ischemia was performed in all of the LPN and 15% of the OPN procedures. Estimated blood loss and perioperative transfusion rates were higher in OPN group. Complications including grade < 3 and ≥ 3 did not differ significantly between the groups. The decrease in creatinine-clearance at 6th month was statistically significant in OPN group, while stable in LPN. Positive surgical margin rates were 6.6% for OPN and 17.6% for LPN, p=0.19. One patient in LPN developed local recurrence and underwent nephrectomy. In OPN group,one local recurrence and one distant metastasis were observed in two independent patients. Both patients recieved tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
Conclusion: Although LPN is accepted as a technically challenging procedure, LPN provided comparable outcomes to OPN including clinical, oncological findings and renal functions, even in the early learning phase. Zero-ischemia technique for LPN was feasible and safe with favorable perioperative and renal functional outcomes.

Published: June 2021

Burung merupakan hewan yang sangat banyak digemari oleh masyarakat. Saat ini burung yang ramai dipelihara bahkan dikembang biakkan adalah burung lovebird. karena biaya perawatannya murah dan peluang untuk beternak burung ini terbilang sangat bagus dan menjanjikan. Sehingga banyak orang tertarik untuk menekuni usaha ternak lovebird walaupun pengembangbiakannya susah-susah gampang.
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membuat sistem monitoring kualitas telur burung lovebird untuk dinyatakan dapat menetas dan tidak dapat menetas dengan memanfaatkan mesin conveyor, sensor infrared, sensor LDR dan motor servo. Semua komponen tersebut terhubung ke smartphone melalui modul komunikasi node mcu. Data yang diambil dikirim ke firebase dan termonitoring di smartphone. Data tersebut meliputi jumlah telur fertile maupun infertile, dan nilai resistansi telur yang terscan oleh sensor LDR. Penerapan sistem dilakukan dengan cara menaruh sampel telur lovebird di mesin conveyor kemudian diuji satu persatu lalu nilai resistansinya dimunculkan di smartphone kemudian dihitung nilai rata-ratanya, serta menghitung persentase sensor berhasil membaca kondisi telur.
Hasil pengujian terhadap telur burung lovebird menghasilkan 2 kondisi yaitu fertile dan infertile. Jika nilai resistansi > 505ohm maka telur dinyatakan fertile dan dinyatakan infertile jika nilai resistansi telur < 505ohm. Pada pengujian jarak didapatkan jarak paling akurat pada 1-24 cm, semakin pendek jarak antar telur maka sensor tidak bisa bekerja secara akurat dikarenakan sensor membutuhkan waktu untuk kembali ke mode scan awal.
