ON THE IMPACT OF COASTAL SALMON FISHERY ON THE KITTLITZ’S MURRELET BRACHYRAMPHUS BREVIROSTRIS POPULATION IN THE RUSSIAN BERING SEA
Authors: Artukhin Yu.B. 
Published: September 2024

As a result of studies carried out in 2010–2014 it was established that coastal salmon fishery does not have serious negative consequences for the Kittlitz’s murrelet population inhabiting the north-east part of Kamchatka and the adjacent seacoast of Chukotka. The reasons for that are 1) the main salmon fishing gears in Kamchatka are trap and haul nets which, according to their design and operating characteristics, are safe for birds; 2) areas of summer murrelet concentrations and salmon catching by marine gill nets, which represent the greatest threat to birds, were poorly overlapped during our research; 3) on the Kamchatka Bering Sea coast the use of net gears was declined significantly after fishing plots were assigned to fishermen on the basis of a long-term lease in 2009, moreover, the use of gill nets has been prohibited at all marine plots for commercial fishery since 2019. Sporadic cases of Kittlitz’s murrelet bycatch in nets are not excluded, but it is not critical for their population state in the region.
Improving the Foreshock Traffic Light Systems for Real-Time Discrimination Between Foreshocks and Aftershocks

Abstract
After a moderate-to-large earthquake, Civil Protection, scientists, the population, and decision makers immediately ask: “Was this the mainshock, or is a bigger event yet to come?” According to the current state of the art, the probability that an even larger event will occur within five days and 10 km after a moderate earthquake is typically 5%. Recent work proposes that a more specific answer to this question is possible (Gulia and Wiemer, 2019). The method allows real-time discrimination between foreshocks and aftershocks in well-monitored regions. However, so far, some expert judgments are required to adapt the technique to the case-specific data, such as defining the overall magnitude of completeness and the duration of the short-term aftershock incompleteness. Here, we introduce and retrospectively test an improved version of the foreshock traffic light system (FTLS) approach that successfully overcomes the aforementioned limits using the b-positive estimator (van der Elst, 2021). With these improvements, an FTLS assessment can be fully automated as early as one hour after an M ≥6 event without requiring expert judgments. We also test the updated approach on six additional sequences; the results align with the FTLS hypothesis.

To evaluate the correlation between corneal ulcer size and depth measurements using slit lamp biomicroscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). A prospective, observational study was conducted on 100 patients with corneal ulcers at the Hind Institute of Medical Sciences after taking clearance from the ethical committee. Corneal ulcer parameters, including width, height, and depth, were measured and compared using both slit lamp biomicroscopy and AS-OCT.The mean age of patients was 45.74±13.61 years ranging from 22 to 78 years. Majority of patients were males (75%). Right eye was involved among more than half of patients (65%) followed by left eye (35%). The length and depth of infiltrate was significantly (p=0.001) lower by SLIT LAMP than ASOCT method observed by both the observers. The breadth of infiltrate was significantly (p&#60;0.05) higher by SLIT LAMP than ASOCT method observed by both the observers. Corneal thickness measured by ASOCT was significantly (p=0.04) lower evaluated by observer 1 (637.76±135.26) than observer 2 (640.66±130.16). Highly significant positive (p=0.0001) correlation was found between SLIT and ASOCT in all the measurements evaluated by both the observers.AS-OCT provides accurate and non-invasive measurements of corneal ulcer depth, which is not possible with slit lamp biomicroscopy. The use of AS-OCT as an adjunctive modality can enhance diagnosis and management of corneal ulcers. This study highlights the utility of AS-OCT in monitoring disease activity and providing valuable imaging guidelines for clinicians.

Published: September 2024

: To compare the efficacy of mitomycin C (MMC) and Ologen implant (OLO) as adjuvants in Trabeculectomy in patients with POAG in eastern India.: It was a hospital based prospective randomized parallel group comparative study from November 2019 to April 2021. Forty eyes of forty patients of POAG with inadequate intraocular pressure (IOP) control were enrolled and randomly divided them into two groups of twenty. Group A (MMC) patients underwent MMC trabeculectomy, while Group B (OLO) patients underwent OLO trabeculectomy. All the cases were followed up post-operatively for six months, and the recorded IOP of each visit was analyses using software R 4.0.3 and R-studio.: The preoperative IOP for the OLO group was 34.0 mmHg (IQR: 30.75 – 38.0), while for the MMC intervention group it was 36.50 mmHg (IQR: 31- 42). The difference in IOP between the two groups was insignificant (p= 0.24). On the first postoperative day, the IOP in the MMC group was 10.05 ± 3.65 mmHg and in the OLO group it was 10.35 ± 2.13 mmHg. Seven days after surgery, the mean IOP in MMC group was 9.45 ± 3.0 mmHg, while it was 11.50 ± 2.52 mmHg in the OLO group. One month after surgery, the mean IOP in the MMC group was 11.15 ± 4.25 mmHg, whereas it was 11.50±5.02 mmHg in OLO group. At 3 months postoperatively, the mean IOP in the MMC group was 12.25± 5.17 mmHg, while it was 12.70± 1.84 mmHg in the OLO group. Six months after surgery, the mean IOP in the MMC group was 10.50± 2.72 mmHg, whereas in the OLO group it was 13.35± 2.94 mmHg. In both the groups, there was significant reduction of IOP (p value &#60; 0.05) observed in all postoperative visits.: In trabeculectomy surgery on POAG eyes, the MMC and OLO implants both successfully lower IOP. Between the two groups, there was no statistically significant difference in the success rate.

: The change in the retinal thickness is the indicator of retinal disease. These changes can be measured with Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). This study was conducted to compare the central macular thickness (CMT), retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and ganglion cell inner plexiform layers (GCIPL) thickness using SD-OCT in hypertensive and normotensives.: All patients with systemic hypertension above the age of 18 years were included in Group A and the age-matched normotensive patients in group B. A history of hypertension was obtained and blood pressure was measured. A standard eye examination and retinal imaging were performed using SD-OCT. The main parameters studied were CMT, RNFL, and GCIPL. An odds ratio and t-test were performed. A probability value of &#60;0.05 is considered significant.: There were 60 eyes in each group. The mean age in group A was 52.43±10.35 years. The mean standard deviation of the duration of hypertension in group A was 6.41±6.28 years. The mean standard deviation CMT was 251.03±18.25µm and 256.77±15.09µm in group A and B respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in CMT of hypertensive and normotensives. The hypertensive patients had significant thickening of RNFL in the nasal quadrant compared to normotensive individuals.: The present study supports the concept that CMT is less likely to be influenced by systemic HTN. RNFL thickness may increase in hypertensives compared to normotensives.

Eye inflammation has been described as a crucial prominent feature of several rheumatic diseases. Uveitis, conjunctivitis, and episcleritis have been reported in patients with known spondyloarthropathies or may be significant symptoms for the diagnosis of previously undiagnosed spondyloarthropathy. A hospital-based, cross-sectional, observational study was conducted over twenty-one months, from January 2021 to September 2022. Patients aged more than 18 years with a definitive diagnosis of Spondyloarthropathy, attending the Department of Orthopedics outpatient clinics, SGMH, Rewa, were screened for presence of eye disorders. A total of 100 cases were recruited in the study. The mean age of the study group was 34.58 years (female 33.5 years and male 35.6 years) with a majority of cases (72%) in the study group aged between 20 and 39 years. Ankylosing spondyloarthropathy was the most common diagnosis in the study, with 49% cases being diagnosed with it. Patients with Psoriatic arthropathy were also found to have a significant association with foreign body sensation and diminution of vision while ciliary congestion was significantly associated with ankylosing spondylitis. In addition, uveitis was observed to have a statistically significant association with incidence of ankylosing spondylitis. The various manifestations of seronegative spondyloarthropathies include uveitis, which is a potentially blinding complication was noted in 19% of the patients, that needs to be identified early and treated right away to avoid irreparable vision loss.
Dyschromatopsia due to welding arcs: An underestimated occupational injury
Authors: Qayum Shazia , Jabeen Asma 
Published: September 2024

Welders are at risk of developing dyschromatopsia, a color vision deficiency, due to occupational exposure, including welding arcs. This visual impairment can impact occupational safety and performance but has received limited attention in research. : This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of defective color vision among welders exposed to welding arcs. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 52 male welders working in various industries. Demographic and occupational data were collected through a questionnaire. Color vision assessment was performed using Ishihara and Farnsworth Munsell test. Welding exposure data were collected through self-reporting and workplace observations. Chi-square test was used for data analysis. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The prevalence of defective color vision among welders was 15.4%. Age, gender, years of experience, and types of welding performed did not significantly influence the prevalence. Welders in the age group of 31-40 years showed a higher prevalence. Inadequate use of eye protection was identified as a barrier to preventing color vision impairments. Defective color vision is a prevalent occupational injury among welders exposed to welding arcs. The study underscores the importance of preventive measures, including proper eye protection and education programs, to reduce the risk of visual impairments and improve occupational safety. Further research is needed to understand the long-term consequences of welding arc exposure on color vision and its impact on worker performance.

Knowing the population and habitat conditions of Timor Deer (Rusa timorensis), which is a protected animal, is very important to ensure the survival of this species. One of the most important habitats for Timor Deer is Menipo Nature Park, which must be well managed to support the welfare and sustainability of the species. Good management includes protection of natural habitats, regular population monitoring, and sustainable conservation efforts so that Timor Deer can survive in their natural environment. The purpose of this study was to estimate the population and habitat conditions of Timor deer in Menipo. The method used is a combination of point and path, while the habitat is described descriptively. From the results of research on the 571 ha habitat area, the population of timor deer was estimated to be 399 individuals with a population range of 366 to 432 individuals at the 95% confidence interval with a population density of 1.14 individuals per hectare. The population structure showed an inverted pyramid, indicating less than optimal conditions in terms of population age distribution. The sex ratio was 2:5 for juveniles, 2:3 for adults, and 1:1 for the old age group. This sex ratio is not good for the timor deer population as 1:5 is good. The most common type of grass for deer is timor grass (Ischaemum timorensis). Other grass species are Microlaena stipoides, Paspalum scrobiculatum, Imperata cylindrical, and Desmodium capitulum shrub. However, some areas of this habitat are covered by alien invasive species, Cromolaena odorata, which needs to be eradicated to maintain food availability. Mangrove parts eaten by Timor deer (Rusa timorensis) include young leaves, young stems, and exfoliated bark. Mangrove species commonly found as food for deer include Rhizophora mucronata, Bruguiera parviflora, and Sonneratia alba.

This study develops roselle yogurt ice cream by combining the probiotic benefits of yogurt with bioactive compounds from roselle flowers. Yogurt is produced through milk fermentation by lactic acid bacteria, while roselle flower extract is rich in anthocyanins and flavonoids known for their antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. The research methods included a comprehensive analysis of physicochemical properties, nutritional content, microbiology, antioxidant activity, and organoleptic characteristics. Using a randomized complete design, data analysis employed ANOVA and the Least Significant Difference tests (P < 0.05), with sensory evaluation conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The results of exploring the synergy between roselle yogurt and ice cream in varying proportions (20:80, 30:70, 40:60) showed that the treatment with a 30:70 ratio of roselle yoghurt (P2) was optimal in physicochemical characteristics such as pH 5.47, total titratable acidity 0.74%, overrun 75.61%, and meltdown rate of 26.98 minutes. P2 also exhibited the highest total antioxidant activity at 137 µg/mL, with good sensory acceptance from consumers. This experiment provided an understanding of the potential of roselle yoghurt ice cream as a product that meets increasingly selective consumers' nutritional and health needs. It is hoped that these findings will stimulate the development of ice cream products that are not only commercially popular but also provide significant health benefits.

The provision of quality and sufficient shrimp fry for production is largely determined by the management of maintenance during larval stadia. This study aims to obtain the best treatment of natural feed in the form of Spirulina sp. and Artemia sp. as feed supplements to improve the growth performance and survival rate of patin fish larvae. The experiment used a Complete Randomized Design consisting of 4 feed treatments and 3 replicates: A (Artemia sp. 100%), B (Artemia sp. 100% and Spirulina sp. 100%), C (Artemia sp. 50% and Spirulina sp. 50%), and D (Spirulina sp. 100%). The larvae with a density of 50 heads/L were kept in the aquarium and fed according to the treatment. The density of Spirulina sp. administered was 104–105 cells/mL maintained until day 7 according to the treatment. The parameters measured included growth performance, which included specific growth rate (SGR), survival (SR), absolute length growth (PPM), and analysis of larval digestive enzymes (amylase, lipase, and protease). The data were analyzed using one way-analysis of variance and continued with Duncan's Multiple Range Test with a 95% confidence interval using SPSS version 22.0. The results showed that the administration of Spirulina sp. produced better SGR, SR, PPM, amylase enzyme, lipase, and protease activities compared to the control (100% administration of Artemia sp.). The best treatment was given by 100% Spirulina sp. treatment.

Anxiety is a prevalent mental health issue among children and adolescents, which can have a detrimental impact on their personal relationships and academic performance. This study aimed to identify the manifestations of anxiety in educational settings, the effects of anxiety on educational activities, and the types of support that should be provided to students with anxiety. The following research questions guided this study: 1) How is anxiety expressed among 13-14-year-old students when in school? 2)How does anxiety affect the 13-14-year-old students' educational activities? 3) What kind of support should be provided to students with anxiety at school? The participants were 26 students aged 13-14 from various Estonian schools. The data was gathered for analysis via interviews and a questionnaire. A mixed-methods approach was employed. According to the research, children experience anxiety both before and during a test or presentation. It appears that each student expresses fear at school in a different way. Students who learn remotely report feeling less anxious during class activities. This is because they do not have to answer in front of the class or turn on the camera when participating in online lessons. Furthermore, students aged 13-14 prefer to talk to their friends who are also experiencing anxiety than to adults who do not understand their anxiety. Finally, the students' answers revealed that the teacher should ask all the students with equal frequency to present their homework. It is also recommended that anxious students be supported by helping them recall what they have learned and use different methods to assess their knowledge. The students stated that they require a quiet and safe place to be alone at school. There is a need to raise awareness about anxiety symptoms and ways for teachers to support students.

Published: September 2024

Philanthropy is a form of altruism that comprises private initiatives that enhance the public good. Throughout history, benevolence or voluntary contributions have appeared in numerous shapes and objectives, representing the economic and political framework of the time and various motivations. Non-profit organizations (NPOs) in Indonesia have undergone tremendous transformations, evolving to be more modern and professional. They determine market segments, manage donor networks, formulate fundraising strategies, and construct appropriate, impactful, and beneficial programs with the organization's system and human capital. Aside from that, Islamic NPOs have become more strategic and able to preserve a clear vision and mission. They have also established organizational structures, appointed qualified leaders, and designed long-term, medium-term, and short-term activity plans and budgets. Moreover, they have appointed program supervisors and assessed the effectiveness and efficiency of their plans. This research aims to investigate the broad issues confronting Islamic charity in Indonesia as it evolves towards a strategic institution. This study adopted qualitative methodologies to discover comprehensive explanations for the occurrences studied. In-depth semi-structured interviews with an array of practitioners and academics were employed to gather data. This study found that a great deal of effort is required to improve the capabilities of Islamic NPOs in terms of good governance, system strengthening, cultural internalization, public openness, and accountability. Such aspects are important for establishing effective intermediary organizations that meet donor expectations. Therefore, Islamic NPOs must accelerate capacity building by enhancing each aspect of the organization to sustainably impact its beneficiaries positively.
