Assessment of Physico-Chemical and Biological Factors in Relation to Productivity Potential of A Fresh Water Bodies Of Bhikhanpura, Muzaffarpur (Bihar)
Authors: Medha Kumari  , Faiyaz Ahmad  
Published: February 2025

Water quality is a key factor that affects harvest outcome from fresh water body. Irregular or a periodic variations of different water quality variables can influence the growth, survival, and yield of aquatic livestock in the ponds. The basic understanding of the limnology, productive potentials and fish production of water body is essential for the sustainable development at Bhikhanpura in Muzaffarpur. The area of Bhikhanpura is 24-hectare having depths of about 3.5m. An investigation was conducted on the ecology of productivity, plankton, and macrophytes. The transparency value was low during summer and the pH was slightly alkaline. The monthly mean values of dissolved oxygen were somewhat lower in this closed water body. The nitrate values were higher in summer and lower during the monsoon period. Among the plankton, community, phytoplankton formed the main portion of the total plankton. Cyanophycean was the major contributor among the phytoplankton as Chlorophyceae was the second largest group. The monthly mean value of the zooplankton population was 417.20µl-1 in Bhikhanpura. The water body contain a mixed population of macrophytes with the dominance of submerged plants throughout the year. Fish production was recorded at 1158.80 kg/ha/yr. However, the production of carps was much higher than the miscellaneous fishes.

Salah satu varietas lokal jagung yang terdapat di pulai Timor, Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) adalah jagung putih lokal Timor. Keunggulan dari varietas ini di antaranya adalah resistensinya terhadap serangan hama bila dibandingkan dengan varietas hibrida lain. Sayangnya, varietas ini memiliki kemampuan bertumbuh dan berkembang yang masih lambat sehingga berdampak pada kesuksesan dalam pembudidayaannya. Berkenaan dengan hal tersebut, banyak studi telah dilakukan yang menunjukkan adanya pengaruh positif pengasapan dalam menginduksi proses perkecambahan (germinasi) dan respon vegetatif lainnya. Terdapat senyawa-senyawa faktor tumbuh (growth factors) yang berhasil diisolasi dari asap hasil pembakaran material-material tumbuhan. Faktor-faktor tumbuh ini mempengaruhi jalur pensinyalan seluler yang mengaktivasi berbagai respon fisiologis yang berkaitan dengan proses perkecambahan dan pertumbuhan. Dalam penelitian ini, pengasapan yang berasal dari pembakaran tumbuhan dari 4 spesies yang berbeda didedahkan untuk menginduksi perkecambahan dan pertumbuhan jagung putih lokal Timor. Perlakuan yang digunakan adalah: A0= kontrol (tanpa pengasapan), A1= (pengasapan dari kayu Kesambi (Schleichera oleosa)), A2= (pengasapan dari kayu Kasuari (Casuarina junghuhniana)), A3= (pengasapan dari kayu Lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala)) dan A4= (pengasapan dari Sekam padi (Oryza sativa)). Parameter yang dikaji adalah: persentase germinasi (GT), rerata laju perkecambahan (MGR) dan tinggi kecambah (TK). Analisis statistik menunjukkan adanya pengaruh nyata perlakuan terhadap parameter TK dengan perlakuan A3 memberikan hasil terbaik, namun tidak berbeda nyata terhadap parameter GT dan MGR. Dengan demikian, pengasapan hasil pembakaran kayu Lamtoro dapat dijadikan sebagai metode alternatif untuk meningkatkan laju pertumbuhan jagung putih lokal Timor. Diharapkan agar laju pertumbuhan yang telah dipacu ini akan dapat pula mempengaruhi laju perkembangannya sehingga dapat memaksimalkan produktivitas panennya.

Väinö Hakkila – tasa-arvoisen oikeusvaltion kehittäjä
Authors: Uusitalo Taina 
Published: February 2025

Tässä artikkelissa käsittelen Väinö Hakkilan (1882–1958) huomattavaa elämäntyötä juridisesti ja sosiaalisesti heikoimmassa asemassa olevien suomalaisten aseman edistämiseksi. Hakkilan panostusta tasa-arvoisemman ja oikeudenmukaisemman Suomen rakentajana ei näkemykseni mukaan ole aiemmassa historiankirjoituksessa huomioitu riittävästi. Käytän lähteinä Väinö Hakkilan asianajotoimintaa käsittelevää arkistoaineistoa ja eduskunnan pöytäkirjoja ja lainvalmisteluasiakirjoja. Hakkila kiinnitti aivan erityistä huomiota sisällissodassa surmattujen ja vangittujen kohtaloon sekä naisten oikeudellisesti miestä heikompaan asemaan. Hakkila edisti punavankien asemaa perustamalla lakiasiaintoimiston ja tekemällä ylimmille oikeusvalvojille raportteja vankien huonosta ja oikeusvaltion vastaisesta kohtelusta. Päättelen, että nämä tehtävät päätyivät Hakkilalle osittain siksi, koska hän oli harvoja työväenliikkeen lakimiehiä, joita ei oltu vangittu sisällissodan seurauksena. Oikeusministerinä Hakkila antoi eduskunnalle lakiesityksen uudeksi aviokaareksi, joka huomattavasti paransi avioituneiden naisten oikeudellista asemaa. Hän avasi myös useita virkoja naisten haettavaksi. Varsinkin naisten oikeudellisen aseman edistämisen hän koki henkilökohtaisesti hyvin tärkeäksi.
Väinö Hakkila (1882–1958) was one of the most significant actors of the social democratic labor movement after the civil war. In this article, I discuss Väinö Hakkila's remarkable life's work to promote the status of legally and socially disadvantaged Finns. In my view, Hakkila's contribution as a builder of a more equal and fair Finland has not been sufficiently taken into account in previous historiography. I use archival material about Väinö Hakkila's legal practice and parliamentary minutes and law preparation documents as sources. Hakkila paid special attention to the fate of those killed and imprisoned in the civil war, and to the legally weaker position of women than men. I will find out how Hakkila concretely influenced the Red prisoners and to improve the legal status of women. Hakkila promoted the status of red prisoners by establishing a legal office and making reports to the highest judicial supervisors about the poor treatment of prisoners and against the rule of law. I conclude that these tasks fell to Hakkila in part because he was one of the few lawyers in the labor movement who had not been imprisoned as a result of the civil war. As Minister of Justice, Hakkila presented a bill to parliament for a new marriage arc, which significantly improved the legal status of married women. He also opened several positions for women to apply for. He felt that the promotion of the legal status of women in particular was very important personally.
Palmu, Susikoski ja Hanhivaara – Suomalaisen rikosfiktion demokraattinen poliisitoiminta
Authors: Kallio Riikka 
Published: February 2025

Artikkeli käsittelee kolmen suomalaisen rikoselokuvan välittämää demokraattisuutta poliisitoiminnassa. Kysyn tässä artikkelissa, minkälaisia demokraattisia ominaispiirteitä suomalaisesta poliisista ja poliisitoiminnasta välittyy teosten katsojille. Artikkelin tutkimusaineistoon kuuluvat elokuvat Tähdet kertovat, Komisario Palmu (1962), Tuntematon ystävä (1978) sekä televisioelokuva Jumalia ei uhmata (1988). Artikkeli analysoi poliisitoiminnan demokraattisuutta kuudella eri määreellä: ammattimaisuudella, läpinäkyvyydellä, vastuullisuudella, ihmisoikeuksien turvaamisella, legalismilla ja osallisuudella. Suomalaisen poliisitoiminnan demokraattisuutta on aiemmin tutkinut kriminologi Dilip K. Das ja vastaavasti itä- ja keskieurooppalaista demokraattista poliisitoimintaa ovat määritelleet tutkimuksissaan Gorazd Meško et al. Artikkeli valottaa sitä, minkälaisia demokraattisen poliisitoiminnan piirteitä voidaan mahdollisesti paikantaa 1960–1980-lukujen suomalaisista rikosfiktioista.
This article examines the democratic policing as conveyed by three Finnish crime films from the 1960s, the 1970s and the 1980s. In this article, I ask what kind of democratic characteristics of the Finnish police and policing are conveyed to the audience of the films. The research material includes the films: Tähdet kertovat, Komisario Palmu (1962), Tuntematon ystävä (1978) and Jumalia ei uhmata (1988). The article analyses policing in six different democratic policing terms: professionalism, transparency, accountability, protection of human rights, legalism, and cooperation with civil society. Finnish democratic policing has been defined in studies by criminologist Dilip K. Das and European democratic policing by criminologists Gorazd Meško et al. The article shows what kind of democratic policing features can be found in Finnish crime fiction.
Järjestölehtien merkitys poliisiammattikunnan julkisuuskuvan kehityksessä toisen maailmansodan jälkeen
Authors: Tikka Katja 
Published: February 2025

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan ammattijärjestöjen roolia poliisin julkisuuskuvan kehityksessä. Järjestölehtien kirjoittelu 1940–1970-luvuilla paljastaa, että poliiseja on opastettu kohtamaan suomalaisia tavalla, joka vahvisti ammattiryhmän positiivista mielikuvaa. Tänään 2020-luvulla poliisin maine on Suomessa korkea. Luottamus poliisiin ei kuitenkaan ole syntynyt itsestään, vaan sen eteen on työskennelty kulisseissa määrätietoisesti julkisuuskuvaa kohentamalla. Suomalaisen poliisitoimen kehitys on lisäksi muovautunut osana yhteiskuntaa sen erilaisissa historiallisissa vaiheissa. Myös luokkayhteiskunta näkyi poliisin sisällä, jossa päällystö ja tavallista kansaa lähellä oleva rivipoliisi eivät pitkään aikaan mahtuneet yhteisen järjestöllisen katon alle. Kun koko ammattikunnan identiteetti oli yhtenäisempi, myös julkisuuskuva eheytyi. Aikaisempi tutkimus on korostanut ristiriitoja muun muassa työnkuvan ja palkkauksen perusteluissa. Poliisikunnan järjestäytymistä ja julkisuuskuvan kehittymistä taas ei juurikaan ole tutkittu. Artikkelissa poliisijärjestöjen jäsenlehtien kautta avautuu järjestöjen ja poliisiammattikunnan välinen suhde, jota tarkastellaan kronologisesti kolmen temaattisen näkökulman kautta. Ensimmäisessä teemaosiossa käsitellään yleisön kosiskelun ilmenemistä ja merkitystä, toisessa poliisin kohtaamaa runsasta väkivaltaa ja kolmantena poliisiurheilun merkitystä julkisuuskuvaa osana ammatti-identiteetin muokkautumista.
The article explores the role of police unions in shaping the public image of the Finnish police alongside their advocacy work. Using organizational publications from the 1940s–1970s, it reveals efforts to guide police behaviour to enhance their public reputation, a strategy contributing to the high trust in Finnish police today. This trust, however, required deliberate image-building over decades. Through an analysis of member publications from police organizations, the article explores the relationship between these organizations and the professional police community. This is approached chronologically through three thematic perspectives. The first thematic section addresses the manifestations and significance of courting public favour. The second focuses on the extensive violence encountered by the police. The third examines the role of police sports in shaping public perceptions and contributing to the development of professional identity.

ObjectivePsoriatic arthritis (PsA) is associated with metabolic and cardiovascular disease. Studies have suggested that treatment with apremilast is associated with weight loss and other cardio-metabolic benefits. This study aimed to examine the effects of apremilast on body weight, body composition and cardiovascular risk factors in PsA patients.MethodsThis longitudinal, non-randomized, multicenter trial included adults with active PsA initiating apremilast (30 mg twice daily after a step-up regime). Patients were followed for 12 months, measurements were done at baseline and repeated at 26 and 52 weeks. Body composition, the primary outcome, was assessed using Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA). Secondary outcomes included disease activity (DAS28-CRP), blood pressure, lipids, intima media thickness and glucose. Statistical analysis involved mixed models adjusted for relevant covariates.Results44 patients were included, with mean age 56 years (±SD, 11 years) and median BMI of 28 kg/m2[range 24-33]. 17 patients completed the study, while 27 discontinued due to ineffectiveness or side effects.After one year of apremilast significant reductions were observed in multiple body mass parameters, including total fat (-7.4 kg; p=0.005) and android fat (1.1 kg; p=0.002). Lean mass remained stable.Blood pressure showed minor reduction, while lipids, intima media thickness, and glucose levels did not change. Disease activity improved, with a significant decrease in DAS28-CRP (-0.6; p=0.02). Android fat correlated most strongly with disease activity reduction (r=0.312; p=0.004)ConclusionThis study demonstrates that apremilast reduces fat mass in PsA patients and suggests beneficial cardiovascular and metabolic effects, potentially reducing the risk for cardiovascular events.

Published: February 2025

ObjectiveResidual confounding effects and disease severity attributed to controversial results in studies of psoriatic disease (PsD) and mortality. We aimed to evaluate the risk of mortality in incident PsD patients, compared to a matched controls from the population.MethodsWe used the nationwide, population-based insurance claim datasets in Taiwan from 2010-2018. Incident cases of PsD were identified by ICD codes. A non-exposed cohort was established through propensity score matching. Deaths were identified via the National Mortality Database. We evaluated the risk of all-cause mortality in PsD compared to the propensity score matched (PSM) non-exposed individuals using COX regression. The mortality risk was evaluated in patients with more severe disease stratified by systemic therapies use and having Psoriatic arthritis (PsA).Results108,642 incident PsD (40.17% women) and equal number of PSM matched non-PsD individuals were identified. Compared to the age and sex matched controls, there was a higher risk of mortality among patients with PsD (adjusted HR=1.73, 95% CI: 1.68-1.77, p<0.0001). After propensity score matching, we found an attenuated but persistent higher risk of mortality in PsD compared to controls (adjusted HR=1.20, 95% CI: 1.16-1.24). There was a trend of higher mortality in patients exposed to biologic therapies, but not for PsA.ConclusionThere was an increased risk of all-cause mortality in individuals with PsD compared to non-PSD individuals before and after propensity score matching and adjustment for co-morbidities. The risk of mortality was higher in patients with PsO but not in patients with PsA as compared to controls.
Des raisons de ne pas aimer Flaubert
Authors: Samoyault Tiphaine 
Published: February 2025

Aimer Flaubert semble aller de soi. Pourtant, des écrivains, des philosophes l’ont régulièrement pris pour adversaire et ont pu avoir des raisons de ne pas aimer Flaubert. L’article s’intéresse aux diverses motivations de ce désamour, quand Flaubert devient le nom de ce à quoi on s’oppose : le réalisme, le formalisme ou l’esthétique… Ne pas aimer Flaubert revient à ne pas aimer l’idée de littérature qu’il représente pour d’autres. Après une confrontation des principales oppositions (Sartre, Sarraute, Bourdieu), l’article montre finalement comment ces attitudes défensives résonnent avec toutes les façons qu’on a d’aimer Flaubert.

Authors: Yellapantula Balsubramaniam , Jude Datta Sheshrao , Bhrushundi Milind , Sharma Ranjana 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Background:
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a major cause of illness and death among the elderly in India. This study assessed the prevalence and risk factors of IHD in an elderly rural population.

Methods:
A cross-sectional study at Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Wardha, India, from 2022 to December 2023, included 168 participants aged 60 and above. Data were gathered through questionnaires, exams, and lab tests. Multivariate logistic regression identified IHD determinants.

Results:
IHD prevalence was 44.6%. Hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes were significant factors. Hypertension (OR 3.5), diabetes (OR 2.8), and dyslipidemia (OR 2.9) were key independent determinants.

Conclusion:
High IHD rates among the elderly highlight the need for targeted interventions addressing modifiable risk factors. Routine cardiovascular risk assessments are essential for reducing IHD in this population.
Establishing pharmacy perceptions of e-learning format, design and development for general practice continuing professional development in Scotland
Authors: Flynn Angela , Park Victoria , Hamilton Peter , Zlotos Leon 
Published: February 2025

Background: This study explores an important area for Continuing Professional Development in pharmacy education and digital learning. Increased demand has generated the necessity for reviewing e-learning module development that successfully meets user needs and learner experience.
Objective: This study investigates learners’ perceptions of standard and segmented e-learning modules and their impact on learner experience to inform future healthcare educational module development.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with pharmacists (14) and pharmacy technicians (1) on the General Practice Clinical Pharmacist programme. Participants were randomised to either single or segmented module design. Fifteen interviews were conducted and data were thematically analysed.
Results: The format allowed for expressing opinions regarding the experience of using the module and highlighted key issues. The analysis identified 125 codes, which resulted in nine themes: Navigation, Interactivity, Structure, Time, Presentation, Resource, Content, Actions and Language.
Conclusion: Results reassure educational providers that e-learning modules suit standard or segmented formats. Findings imply that module format is less important than easy-to-use, well-structured modules with high-quality content. Constructive feedback provided potential improvements to usability, which will help focus future resources and development. More work is needed to explore the translation of learning into practice and the benefit of the segmented format for diverse or interprofessional learners.
