SummaryBisphenol A (BPA) is a plasticizer found in reusable
plastic containers, food and beverage cans, baby bottles and dental sealants. BPA exposure has become
an important health concern based on its ability to “leach” from these products
and penetrate the materials contained within them. Importantly,
BPA can be transferred via placenta or lactation and this may affect the living
body in intrauterine or lactation period.Notch signaling pathway to regulate cell fate by
modulating differentiation, proliferation, and survival of cells. It has been
reported that the members of Notch signaling are expressed in brain. Notch1 is a member of
Notch signalling pathway, that expresses in subventricular zone, choroid plexus, grey matter, white matter,
hippocampus and cerebral vessels of brain.In our study, we examined the effect of BPA on Notch1 expression in
5 different time intervals of fetal and neonatal periods in vivo.
Wistar rats were used in this study (n=60). Five different
experimental and control groups were formed. The experimental groups were treated with BPA at 50
mg/kg/day when
control groups were treated with sesame oil and ethanol at 9:1 (vehicle). During the
first part of the experiment, BPA or vehicle was applied to three groups at E
18-21, P 0-3 and P 4-7 periods. When BPA or vehicle were injected intraperitoneally to pregnant dams in E 18-21 group neonatal
pups in P0-3 and P4-7 groups were given subcutaneous
injections. The pups were sacrificed at the end of 7th day and their
brain tissues were collected. During the second part of the experiment, similar
applications with first experiment was performed. Following the application,
pregnant dams were
sacrificed and brain tissue of their fetuses were collected at E21stday and neonatal pups
were sacrificed at P3rd
day and their brains were collected. Notch1 expression was assessed by using immunohistochemistry. Notch1
was expressed in the pia
mater, the grey matter, around ventricles (ventricular walls
and sub ventricular zone) and in choroid and vascular plexus of brain.After BPA applications in fetal and neonatal periods,
Notch1 expression was seen in different levels at E21st, P3rd
and P7th
days.

In conclusion, the effects of BPA on Notch1 immunohistochemical expression
in brain tissue, varies depends on exposure time and the developmental period
during the exposure.

Published: May 2018

Lymphoma
is the most common feline malignancy, and the alimentary form is the most
common seen form of the disease. Alimentary form in the cat typically involves
the small intestine, stomach, mesenteric lymph nodes, and liver. The disease is
often reported in cats between 1 and 20 (mean 13 years) years of age. A 3-year-old domestic male cat was admitted to
Uludağ University Animal Hospital due to chronic weight loss, loss of appetite,
diarrhea and vomiting traced back to 15 days. Abdominal ultrasonography was
performed and a large solid mass was spotted in the cranial abdomen. During the
treatment, the cat developed respiratory stress, shock and died 2 days after. In
light of the clinical symptoms, ultrasonography, necropsy and histopathological
findings; small-cell-alimentary lymphoma was diagnosed for the 3-year-old cat.
It can be interpreted that small cell (lymphocytic) alimentary lymphoma is seen
rarely in younger cats and seldom exceeds itself from gastrointestinal tract
compared to large-cell lymphoma.
New therapy for fatty liver

Published: May 2018

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a leading cause of death from liver cirrhosis, endstage liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is also associated with increased cardiovasculardisease and cancer related mortality. While lifestyle modifications are the mainstay of treatment,only a proportion of patients are able to make due to difficult to achieve and maintain, and so moretreatment options are required such as pharmacotherapy. This review presents the drugs used inmanaging NAFLD and their pharmacologic targets. Therapies are currently directed towards improvingthe metabolic status of the liver, insulin resistance, cell oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation orfibrosis. Several agents are now in large clinical trials and within the next few years, the availability oftherapeutic options for NAFLD will be approved.

Advances in biomarkers for HCC
Authors: Kitiyakara Taya 
Published: May 2018

Hepatocellular carcinoma is a common cancer worldwide and has a high mortality. Many patientspresent in the late stages and the outcome of treatment for these patients is poor. Biomarkerscould theoretically help to detect the disease at an earlier stage before symptoms occurand improve the treatment outcomes. The first biomarker found was alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and it iscurrently used as part of the HCC surveillance recommended in many countries. However AFP isnot very accurate and 30-40% of HCCs may be missed. Currently there are other biomarkers underinvestigation. Most of the more common biomarkers studied are serum/blood tests and include AFP-L3,PIVKA-II, Glypican-2, VEGF and the non-coding RNAs, such as long non-coding RNA and microRNA,and metabolomics tests. Tests involving urine or patient breaths are still relatively uncommonbut are being investigated. The limitation on the use of these new biomarkers is from the availabilityand costs of the tests. Only AFP-L3 and PIVKA-II are currently commercially available.

OTHELLO’S VERBAL DEFENCE: DISTORTING REALITY IN SHAKESPEARE’S OTHELLO
Authors: Setyaningrum Rizky 
Published: May 2018

The study describes Othello’s verbal defences by means of Perry London’s Verbal Defences theory as reflected in William Shakespeare’s Othello, the Moor of Venice. The study was a content analysis whose primary data were words, phrases, sentences and dialogues in the play. The secondary data were articles discussing the Othello, the Moor of Venice. Data were analyzed through determining Othello’s arguments on ego verbal defence mechanisms using Perry London’s Verbal Defences theory. This study revealed that three elements of verbal defences, namely, emotional insulation, intellectualization, and rationalization are experienced by Othello. They operate unconsciously and these mechanisms neutralize the upsetting impact of threatening ideas by distorting reality. In distorting reality, ego takes some extreme ways. One of those ways is “talking away” the anxiety stimuli as well as by the other means of obscuring and retreating from reality.

Abstract. The there is a big need of labours in tourism, trour beaurues, and hotel sectors in Bali, particularly those who are able to speak Japanese due to the fact that many Japanese tourits are interested in visiting Bali. However, the most of current tourist guides who speak Japanese acquire their Japanese from non formal education, such as from reading books or listening materials they gain by themselves. This, in turn, effect on their performance which cannot be done maximally in their service to the Japanese toruists, particularly due to their lack of vocabulary building. This condition has stimulated for a research to be conducted which produces an outcome ina form of dictionary. The entry of the Japanese words were collected through direct observation in field when there were conversations between Japanese tourits and their guieds or tour leaders or information staff. This reseach is a continuation whose goal is to evaluate its acceptance and the evaluation is conducted by experts and people work on tourism sector. The research applied descriptive qualitative method. The reseach resulted in a development product of a Japanese dictionary draft. This draft was evaluated by people majoring the Japanese language and users of the dictionary,that is people running tourism sector. Questionairs were handed out to the toruist guides in Bali to collect their feedback on the dictionary and its role in increasing their vocabulary on tourism. The result shows that the dictionary is useful to enrich their vocabulary building. It can be read from the positive responses since 30% of the words in the dictionary cannot be understood their use in context. This means that the dictionary increases their knowledge of Japanee words of tourism.

Energetics of pupal-adult metamorphosis in the silkworm, Bombyx mori : An analysis of transdeamination parameters in the fat body and haemolymph
Authors: Sivaprasad S. , Bhuvaneswari E. 
Published: May 2018

Transdeamination seems to be an important alternative energy-intensive gluconeogenesis mechanism that generates glucose from non-carbohydrate sources during pupal-adult metamorphosis in Bombyx mori. Studies on four transdeamination parameters, viz., free amino acids (FAA), aspartate aminotransferase (AAT), alanine aminotransferase (AlAT) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) in the fat body and haemolymph of silkworm have indicated that transdeamination shows stage-specific, region-specific and sex-specific variations during metamorphosis. Region-specific growth trends indicate that the transamination reaction, mediated by AAT and AlAT is faster in the abdominal fat body (AFB) and relatively slower in the thoracic fat body (TFB) with concomitant lower FAA levels in the former and higher levels in the latter. Stage-specific growth trends reflect that the energy mobilization through transdeamination assumes greater significance in the early pupal, late pupal and adult stages rather than the mid-pupal stage. Sex-wise trends in FAA levels indicate that the rate of amino acid utilization is significantly faster in females compared to that in males. Further, the growth trends in the levels of GDH vis-à-vis aminotransferases signify that the energy demands of male sex expressions are met largely through enhanced levels of GDH and that the alpha ketoglutarate generated in transamination reaction is used as a substrate for sperm production, sperm motility and successful mating that stimulates fecundity and productivity of in the mulberry silkworm. The study clearly demonstrates that gluconeogenesis through transdeamination supplements the energy requirements of silkworm metamorphosis and that it is facilitated by disintegrating tissues predominantly from the pupal abdominal segments.
Extraction and processing of Bast fibres from Ficus glomerata- A new source for non- conventional fibres
Authors: Aaditaa Aaditaa , Jahan Shahnaz 
Published: May 2018

The increasing global preference towards the natural products rather than synthetic products has increased the attraction of tourists to the local markets. Ficus glomerata fibres is one of the suitable source as raw material for making natural products like carrier bags, baskets, belts and some handicraft items. Fibres from F. glomerata stems were extracted by using water retting method. After retting, the fibres were scoured using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for making them suitable to form the different produucts from the processed fibres such as yarn, nonwoven, woven and knitted fabrics. Scouring conditions such as chemical concentration and processing time were evaluated on the basis of physical properties of fibres such as tenacity, elongation and fineness. The optimization results obtained from testing of physical properties of fibres shows that, the 3% concentration of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and 60 minutes processing time was found promising for the treatment of fibres. The improvement in F. glomerata fibres through proper processing can yield value added fibres and thus can enhance the potential utility of these fibres in diversified sectors. So, the F. glomaerata fibres has a potential to provide an important role in making space for natural fibre products in the outside market.
Evaluation of ground water quality near Chandi Devi bridge solid waste dumping site at Hairdwar city, (Uttarakhand), India : A case study
Authors: Gupta Sandeep , Chopra A. K. 
Published: May 2018

The present study observed groundwater quality around Chandi Devi bridge open dumping site at Hardwar (Uttarakhand), India. Five experimental sites viz. sites 2,3 and 5 (hand pumps) and two sites 4,6 (tubewells) within the vicinity of the dumpsite and a reference site viz. site 1 (hand pump) (Bilkeshwar temple) as a control about 5000 meter away, were selected to ascertain the influence of solid waste dumping on groundwater quality around the area. The study showed that physicochemical parameters viz temperature, colour, turbidity, pH, hardness, BOD, COD, fluoride and heavy metals ( lead and iron) of the ground water near the dumping sites-2,3,4,5,6 were higher than their counterpart parameters of the ground water at control site. However, arsenic was not detected in any sample of all the sites. The parameters viz., colour (2.08-3.49 hazen), turbidity (3.05-5.35 NTU), odour (agreeable), pH (7.46-7.80),fluoride (0.10-0.38 ppm), lead (0.00-0.032 ppm), iron (0.01-0.03 ppm) of ground water of all experimental sites were within permissible limits while the parameters BOD (3.73-3.21 ppm), hardness (240.41-203.15 ppm) at site-2, site-3 and DO (5.38-6.28 ppm) of all experimental sites were not found within permissible limits as prescribed by Bureau of Indian standards (2012). Although water was safe for drinking which may be due to higher infiltration rate of river Ganga and Eastern Ganga Canal water but higher value of temperature (oC), colour (hazen), turbidity (ppm), hardness (ppm), BOD (ppm), COD (ppm) fluoride (ppm), iron (ppm) and lead (ppm) at site- 2 was quite alarming. The study would help in making public awareness for waste sorting, adopting green technology and to predict level of contaminants in ground water produced by land filling dumping site.
Treatment of pulp and paper mill effluent using low cost adsorbents: An overview
Authors: Kakkar Shaveta , Malik Anju , Gupta Sanjeev 
Published: May 2018

In the present review, the suitability of adsorption process using low cost adsorbent for the treatment of pulp and paper mill effluent has been discussed. It is clear that adsorption processes are appropriate for the removal of recalcitrant compounds such as surfactants and pesticides, among others biodegradable or non-biodegradable compound present in pulp and paper mills effluents. The importance of the adsorption is to improvement of the removal of various physico- chemical (biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), colour, suspended solids, lignin), heavy metals (Cu, Cr, Fe, Zn, Ni and Mn etc) organochlorine compounds, all recalcitrant pollutant, reduce toxicity, enhance colour removal by using different cost effective adsorbents. The effective use of the different adsorbents developed from different adsorbent media such as activated carbon, agriculture by product and industrial wastes and sludge as adsorbents for the removal of different pollutants from the various processes and operations of pulp and paper mill as potential alternatives to different treatment process and received widespread attention. Adsorption necessity is a novel treatment option to improve the efficiency of removal within the discharge limits of wastewaters into the receiving bodies without causing any damage of the environment. However, still there is a need to find out the practical usefulness of such low cost adsorbent at industrial scale with the special reference to metals.
Surviving in Difficult EFL Classroom: Teachers’ Perspectives and Coping Strategies
Authors: Dhakal Shankar 
Published: May 2018

English language teachers often encounter with the situations in which they are faced with defiance, aggression and multiple verbal and physical abuses in their classroom. Moreover, they have pressures of unrealistic expectations and blamed for complex failures of students and the whole system, which makes their survival in difficult classroom even more difficult. So, this is a small-scale research study that investigates EFL teachers’experiences and the perspectives on the difficult classroom situations. The study reveals that teachers are not the only responsible persons for students’ unexpected behaviours; but there are several other reasons to contribute to it.

Learner Role in CLT: Practices in the Higher Secondary Classrooms
Authors: Rouf Md. Abdur , Sultana Khanam Nargis 
Published: May 2018

Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is a learner-centered approach for language teaching and learning. In the CLT context, learner’s role changes from that of a passive receiver to an active participant engaging in diverse classroom activities that promote communicative competence. Again, L2 learners are supposed to learn the language by using it for different tasks, and taking part in pair work, group work, role play, and discussion inside classrooms. This study aims to find out gaps, if any, between learner roles as advocated in CLT theory and as practiced by learners in the higher secondary classrooms in Bangladesh while teaching/learning English following this approach, and its relation to poor ‘learning outcomes’.

Content and Language Integrated Learning for Nepalese EFL classes
Authors: Sapkota Tara 
Published: May 2018

A common understanding of teaching English in Nepalese context implies teaching the prescribed textbook lessons and learning means following the teachers’ instructions. The school on the one hand, grades the students’ achievement according to the score they have scored. The parents, on the other, evaluate their children’s learning according to how beautifully they have written on their notebooks and how fluently they speak in English. This traditional practice of teaching and evaluating learners has paralyzed our system of teaching and learning. Therefore, it is high time we shift our practices to a more productive approach to teaching. Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) meets the present needs. This paper deals with the ways CLIL is useful to the Nepalese context. In addition, it also puts light on the materials used in CLIL lessons, teacher’s and students’ roles and assessment in CLIL.

The Relationship between Reading Strategy Use and EFL Test Performance
Authors: Dawadi Saraswati 
Published: May 2018

There has been a steady interest in investigating the relationship between strategy use and English as a foreign language (EFL) test performance. Despite numerous studies on strategy use, the relationship between the two is still not clear. This paper reports on a study that investigated the use of reading strategies in the Secondary Education Examination English reading test and the relationship between reading strategy use and the test performance. A sample of 312 EFL learners studying at Grade 10 in Nepal participated in this study. They were asked to take the test and then respond to a reading strategy questionnaire. The quantitative software SPSS (version 20) was used to analyze the data. The results indicated that participants were active strategy users, and they used cognitive strategies more frequently than metacognitive strategies. A significant relationship was identified between reading strategy use and EFL proficiency; high-proficiency learners reported significantly higher use of reading strategies than moderate-proficiency learners, who in turn reported higher use of those strategies than their low-proficiency peers. Implications of these findings for EFL teaching and recommendations for further research are discussed.Journal of NELTA , Vol. 22, No. 1-2, 2017 December, Page: 39-52
Should we Bend towards Blending? How?
Authors: Neupane Madhu 
Published: May 2018

Blended learning that combines face-to-face and online educational delivery can occur at activity, course, program, and institution level. In this study, course-level blending in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) course was examined. The students of face-to-face mode were enrolled in Moodle. However, their participation in Moodle was optional (i.e. low level of blending). Data collected from a class test and end-of-semester questionnaire survey suggest that blending does have a positive effect on learning achievement and students do perceive blending positively. Overall, the study shows optimism towards the prospects of blended learning. However, for the successful integration of Moodle, easy access to the Internet and orientation for using Moodle are to be ensured.Journal of NELTA , Vol. 22, No. 1-2, 2017 December, page: 54-67
