Published: August 2018

Summary
Chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is an extraembryonic membrane very frequently used for in vivo studies in various researches. Since researches require a fast method for quantifying the CAM angiogenic response, there is a need to develop a new precise and unbiased method of quantification of angiogenesis in CAM, which would be easy to perform and suitable for analysis of a large number of samples. The objective of this paper is to apply a new method of quantification of angiogenesis in investigation of the development of blood vessels in the CAM, in particular days of embryonic life considered essential for CAM development. The present research included 75 fertilized eggs of heavy hybrid Ross 308. CAM sampling for stereological analyses was in key phases of embryonic development, namely on the 12th, 15th and 19th day. The results of the present investigation show that the increase in embryonic age results in increase in circulation index, which is also an indicator of angiogenic processes developing in CAM. The lowest value of circulation index (0.1952) was recorded on the first sampling day (E12), while the highest value (0.2666) was recorded on the last sampling day (E19). This method may be applied in researching different factors which affect angiogenesis in CAM.
Decline and Current Status of the Grey Partridge (Perdix perdix L.) Population in Serbia - A Review

Published: August 2018

Summary
Decrease of grey partridge population is a global process that has been catastrophic in recent decades. In England, the number of this species declined by 80% in the period from the beginning of the fifties to the mid-eighties of the last century (Potts, 1986). In the Czech Republic from 1965 to the end of the eighties by as much as 95% (Štasny et al. 1997), and the situation is similar in Poland (Panek, 2005). The status of grey partridge in Serbia follows the same pattern as mentioned, with drastic decline (Ristić and Puzović, 2015). The reasons for such trend are numerous, directly conditioned and are often difficult to eliminate. It has been found that culling has no significant effect on the population (Ristić, 1992), but changes in its habitat in order to increase the yield of agricultural crops and chemical protection have very negative effect on partridge number. In order to study each type of game, it is necessary to know the basic elements of the population: density, growth, birth rate, mortality, migration movements and gender and age structure. Migration has no effect on changes in the partridge populations. Period of assessment 2010-2013: Serbia: 20,000-28,000 breeding pairs (bp), Vojvodina: 900-1,000 bp. Long-term population trend 1980-2003: MD (mean decrease in number), short-term population trend 2000-2013: MD (mean decrease in number). The number generally decreases, especially in Vojvodina, where it is endangered by intensive agriculture and the application of harmful biocides. It is necessary to improve the monitoring and develop the national action plan.
Phosphorus as a Bottleneck for a Sustainable Food Suply
Authors: Husemann Christoph , Rodić Vesna , Husemann Jovana 
Published: August 2018

Summary
Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for all forms of life, which means that food cannot be produced without it. As the phosphate rock (concentrated source of phosphorus) is a non-renewable and finite resource, with no substitute, without more sustainable management of phosphorus its deposits could be depleted in a rather short period. In addition, much of phosphorus eventually ends up in environment, where it causes pollution. Hence, one could say that the lack of phosphorus and its inappropriate management could be a bottleneck for a sustainable food supply and agricultural development in general. Nevertheless, unlike some other challenges that modern agriculture has to face (for example, water and energy scarcity, climate changes etc) the problem of phosphorus limited availability and accessibility has been largely neglected until recently. This paper’s particular intention is to explain why phosphorus management is one of key issues for the sustainable food supply and agricultural development, which factors have to be considered when dealing with this topic and which technologies could be applied as potential solutions. One solution to become independent from the fossil deposits of phosphorus might be its extraction from wastewater, which could contribute significantly to overcome the looming phosphorus and growing environmental crisis.

Authors: József Sóki , Edit és Székely 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
The Bacteroides and Parabacteroides species are important obligate anaerobic bacteria that are significant constituents of normal flora (microbiota), and opportunistic pathogens with special biological background. They are highly resistant to antibiotics and monitoring their resistance levels is important for their empiric therapy. Several antibiotic resistance studies were conducted in the USA and Europe and we have data for the region involved in this study showing comparable trends. Multidrug-resistant strains are emerging among Bacteroides too, where the proper antibiotic tests and treatments may be life-saving.

Published: August 2018

Abstract
The aim of the studies was the assessment of the usefulness of selected pedotransfer function for calculating the water retention of alluvial soils in Żuławy Wiślane. Żuławy Wiślane are an important area, both as far as agricultural production and environmental values are concerned. The analysis accounted for three models, i.e.: van Genuchten-Wösten, Varellyay and Mieronienko, Hewelke et al. Based on 122 dataset of alluvial soils from the Żuławy area, the statistical relationships between the measured values of total available water and values calculated for individual models were analysed. The studies carried out indicate that the analysed pedotransfer functions are characterized by different compatibilities with results obtained by means of direct measurement. The lowest average errors of fit were obtained for the Hewelke et al. and van Genuchten models.

VARIANT RELATION OF THE SCIATIC NERVE TO THE PIRIFORMIS MUSCLE: A CADAVERIC STUDY FROM NORTH INDIA. Variaciones en la relación del nervio ciático con el músculo piriforme: Un estudio cadavérico en India del Norte
Authors: Budhiraja Virendra , Rastogi Rakhi , Jain Sanjeev K , Sharma Nidhi , Garg Rohin , Nafees Hina 
Published: August 2018

El nervio ciático sale de la pelvis y entra en la región glútea debajo del músculo piriforme como un único tronco. Tiene dos componentes: el nervio peroneo común y el nervio tibial. La relación variable del nervio ciático con el músculo piriforme y su longitud hace que el nervio sea vulnerable a las lesiones. Estudiamos la relación variable del nervio ciático en sesenta extremidades inferiores de treinta cadáveres y encontramos el nervio ciático emergiendo indiviso por debajo del músculo piriforme en el 68,33% de los casos, pero en el 31,66% el nervio ciático estaba dividido arriba en la pelvis. En el 18,33% de los casos el componente peroneo común emergió arriba y en el 13,33% de los casos emergió a través del músculo piriforme. Pensamos que tener un conocimiento adecuado sobre la anatomía del nervio ciático es bueno para los resultados clínicos. Sciatic nerve leaves the pelvis and enters the gluteal region below the piriformis muscle as single trunk. It has two components common peroneal nerve and the tibial nerve. The variable relationship of sciatic nerve with the piriformis muscle and its long course makes the nerve vulnerable to injury. We studied sciatic nerve variable relation in sixty lower extremities of thirty cadavers and found the sciatic nerve emerging undivided below the piriformis muscle in 68.33% of cases but in 31.66% the sciatic nerve divided high in the pelvis. In 18.33% cases the common peroneal component emerged above and in 13.33% of cases it emerged through the piriformis muscle. We think proper knowledge of the anatomy of the sciatic nerve is good for clinical outcomes
CONDUCTO BILIAR SUBVESICULAR: HALLAZGO QUIRÚRGICO Y COLANGIOGRÁFICO. Sub-gallbladder bile duct: Surgical and colangiographic findings
Authors: Russo Alejandro M , Sciuto Pablo M 
Published: August 2018

Las variaciones de la vía biliar son frecuentes y pueden provocar complicaciones en el curso de una colecistectomía. Por esta razón el cirujano debe estar interiorizado en la anatomía habitual así como en las posibles variantes. Presentamos un caso de un conducto biliar subvesicular encontrando durante una colecistectomía. Se trató de un conducto que se originaba en el conducto hepático derecho y terminaba en la vesícula biliar. Se procedió a la ligadura del mismo y su posterior sección. El paciente tuvo una buena evolución y fue dado de alta a las 48 horas del posoperatorio. En vistas a este hallazgo se discuten la anatomía y las implicancias quirúrgicas de esta variante. Variations in the biliary tract are frequent and may cause complications during a cholecyst-ectomy. Thus, the surgeon must have a deep knowledge of the usual configuration of the biliary tract as well as its variations. We report a case of a subvesical bile duct found during a cholec-ystectomy. It consisted of a bile duct which originated from the right hepatic duct and ended in the gallbladder. The duct was clipped and cut, the patient had good evolution and was discharged 48 hours after surgery. The anatomy and surgical implications of this variation are discussed.

Authors: Martinez Fernando 
Published: August 2018

El síndrome del túnel carpiano es la neuropatía por atrapamiento mas frecuente. La causa mas frecuente es el disbalance entre contenido y continente del canal carpiano. En este sentido, la presencia de músculos anormales o supernumerarios es una causa poco común pero conocida, de compresión del nervio mediano en el canal carpiano. Se presenta un caso de músculo lumbrical intracanal como posible causa de un síndrome del túnel carpiano. Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common entrapment neuropathy. The most frequent cause is the disbalance between content and continent of the carpal tunnel. In this sense, the presence of abnormal or supernumerary muscles is an uncommon but known cause of compression of the median nerve in the carpal canal. A case of intracanal lumbrical muscle is presented as a possible cause of a carpal tunnel syndrome.
Review on Practices and State of the Art Methods on Delineation of Ground Water Potential Using GIS and Remote Sensing
Authors: Silwal Champak Babu , Pathak Dinesh 
Published: August 2018

Due to global increase in human population, the groundwater has been extensively used to meet the water demand for domestic as well as agricultural purpose. The number of deep and shallow wells has increased exponentially. For these purpose the groundwater potential area has to be delineated so as to delineate the area for intervention for groundwater abstraction. The determination of groundwater potential with the aquifer characteristics is not always possible due to unavailability of secondary data and from financial aspect. The delineation of groundwater potential with the integration of GIS and Remote Sensing (RS) as well as with the aid of geophysical data could be an effective approach. Groundwater delineation in mountainous region uses different hydrogeologic parameters like rainfall, slope, elevation, drainage density, lineament density, lithology/geology, land use/land cover (LULC), soil, etc., whereas in case of alluvial basins, parameters like aquifer material, soil, LULC, water table, specific yield, storage coefficient, transmissivity, etc. are used. The assignment of weight for the factors and rank for their classes are important steps in the Groundwater Potential Mapping (GPM) using GIS overlay. The weights for the different parameters have to be assigned as per their role in groundwater occurrences. Different methods like Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), expert’s knowledge, probability weight approach, bivariate analysis, etc. have been used for assigning weights and ranks and the predicted potential need to be validated. Generally in mountainous aquifer, spring inventory forms the basic data for the verification. In addition, the aquifer characteristics like water table, yield, transmissivity can be used for the validation in flat lands. This method of delineation of groundwater potential is found to be appropriate with acceptable accuracy. Globally, there is increasing trend in the use of GIS and Remote Sensing for the identification of groundwater potential in recent time. Bulletin of Department of Geology, vol. 20-21, 2018, pp: 7-20
Community Based Flash Flood Early Warning System: a Low-cost Technology for Nepalese Mountains
Authors: Adhikari Basanta Raj , Sitoula Nagendra Raj 
Published: August 2018

Every year, flood impose substantial economic, social and environmental cost on Nepalese community through direct damage to residential, commercial, educational and structures. Moreover, the flood destroys animal farm, commercial stock and records and other content of the building and pollutes the water. Early Warning Systems are important to save such lives and properties which involves computer, satellite data and high accurate operating system but this system is very costly in terms of installation as well as operation and maintenance leading to hindrance in the sustainability of the system. However, high-tech technology is very expensive and not feasible in Nepal and therefore low-cost and easy operating system is needed in the rural parts of Nepal. The system includes Solar panel, Siren, Ultrasonic sensor, processing unit, and battery. The ultrasonic sensor sense water level and the siren will automatically start. The threshold can be set up according to the space and time. Bulletin of Department of Geology, vol. 20-21, 2018, pp: 87-92
