Published: April 2024

The experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, Raichur, University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur, Karnataka, India during October 2021–Februrary 2022 to characterize the 100-coloured sorghum genotypes along with four checks viz., M 35-1, AKJ 1, Paiyur 2 and GS-23 for eight qualitative characters and 10 quantitative characters in an augmented block design. The results revealed that, majority of the genotypes exhibited the pigmented stem (93%) and leaves almost green (61%) at harvest, horizontal flag leaf orientation (100%), loose erect primary branches of panicle (38%), black glumes (58%), red grain colour (36%), circular grain shape (75%) and freely threshable (93%) characters. For all the quantitative characters studied, a wide range of variation was observed. For stay green character, genotype IS 21868 showed completely green leaves. Similarly, for other characters also superior genotypes were identified in this study. Such genotypes can be used further in improvement of sorghum for its grain yield. For grain yield, 14 genotypes exhibited higher yields when compared to the best check GS-23, viz., IS 29032 (120.0 g), IS 6508 (119.18 g), IS 16006 (113.80 g), IS 28065 (102.88 g), IS 23890 (94.88 g), IS 28049 (94.28 g), IS 23865 (89.48 g), IS 29031 (87.98), IS 28202 (87.88), IS 31706 (86.48), IS 2582 (85.88 g), IS 28200 (83.58), IS 16398 (81.08 g) and IS 23955 (80.0 g). Eight genotypes were on par with GS-23. These genotypes can be further evaluated for its yield stability within and across locations.

Published: April 2024

The present study was conducted during June to September, 2021 at the experimental orchard of the Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Haryana, India to investigate the impact of propagation methods, time, and varieties on the success rate of guava (Psidium guajava L.) propagation. The treatments were arranged in a three factorial layout using a Randomized Complete Design with three replications. In the months of June, July, August, and September, two different cultivars (L-49 and Hisar Safeda) and four different propagation techniques (Patch budding, T-budding, Wedge grafting, and Inarching) were applied six times each. The results revealed that wedge grafting exhibited the shortest time to sprout (14 days), whereas inarching displayed the longest duration for sprouting (54.33 days). The 2nd fortnight of July and the 1st fortnight of September demonstrated the most favorable time for bud sprouting. Moreover, Hisar Safeda exhibited superior performance compared to L-49 in terms of earlier sprouting and better growth. Therefore, propagation of guava using wedge grafting techniques during the months of July and September can be recommended for the study area and areas with similar agro-ecologies so as to achieve successful grafting within the shortest feasible timeframe. These findings offer crucial insights for agricultural practitioners seeking enhanced propagation techniques and optimal timings, thereby fostering improved guava cultivation practices and augmenting yields in similar agricultural settings.

Abstract
Preserving landscape connectivity in the Omo-Shasha-Oluwa Forest Reserves is crucial due to human-induced fragmentation, shrinking habitats, and disrupted migration routes for wildlife. From 2014 to 2016, we conducted surveys to gather large mammal presence data, mapping their distribution using the MaxEnt algorithm. Employing Circuitscape software and circuit theory concepts, we predicted connectivity patterns for six large mammal species. Our results consistently showed robust predictive performance, with Area Under the Curve (AUC) values exceeding 0.75 for species distribution models. Notably, we identified suitable habitat patches for seven key species, spanning 1760 km2 for C. civetta, 1515 km2 for T. Scriptus, 729 km2 for L. cyclotis, 1693 km2 for P. porcus, 1350 km2 for C. mona, 1406 km2 for P. maxwellii, and 1379 km2 for C. torquatus. Our analysis highlighted distance to human settlements as the most significant predictor for habitat models concerning T. Scriptus, C. civetta, P. maxwellii, C. torquatus, P. porcus, and C. mona, whereas land use type emerged as a critical factor for L. cyclotis. Furthermore, examination of maximum current flow patterns revealed varying degrees of connectivity among habitat patches, indicating potential bottlenecks to species movement, particularly across major rivers and in areas affected by human activities. These findings offer crucial insights for conservation efforts, guiding strategies to preserve wildlife metapopulation dynamics in the Omo-Shasha-Oluwa Forest Reserves landscape
Ultrasound markers of adverse pregnancy outcomes in embryonal period: literature review and own clinical cases
Authors: Timakina D. N. , Bulanov M. N. 
Published: April 2024

A goal of the review was to search and describe all currently known prenatal ultrasound markers of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The review is instantiated by multiple ultrasound images of own clinical cases. Taking into account the authors wide experience, it is possible to use all of presented ultrasound signs as predictors (markers) of an adverse pregnancy outcome in the early stages. From our point of view, it is reasonable to divide the markers into two groups, “primary markers” and “dynamic markers”. In the case of “Primary markers” revealing on initial ultrasound, it is reasonable to perform control ultrasound in 7–10 days to confirm the viable pregnancy or missed miscarriage. The “Dynamic markers” can be used on control ultrasound, and some of them may be used in shorter dynamic period when there is a need to predict the outcome earlier than 7-10 days. Generally, the review describes 22 early pregnancy ultrasound markers of adverse pregnancy outcome. These are imaging features of the gestational sac, yolk sac, embryo size, embryo heartbeat, and amnion. Early pregnancy ultrasound is not mandatory, but in a real-case scenario, almost all women undergoes ultrasound on early stage of pregnancy in objective or subjective causes. Therefore, in the first days of pregnancy, women should receive a highly professional diagnostic by a physician, able to assess the risks and prognosis of pregnancy outcome. The authors of the review particularly notes that the assessment of ultrasound markers of adverse pregnancy outcomes must be carried out with the strictest adherence to the medical ethics, deontology, and medical privacy.

Published: April 2024

Purpose: to evaluate the dynamics of ultrasound parameter of structural changes of endometrium in B-mode before and after therapy in reproductive age women with chronic endometritis.Material and methods. A retrospective cohort study of 158 reproductive age patients (34.5 ± 6.5 years) with a established diagnosis of chronic endometritis was carried out. Ultrasound was performed twice prior and after comprehensive etiotropic therapy in the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle with measurements of uterus volume, endometrium thickness and volume, with calculation of endometrial/uterine volume percentage ratio. Echogenicity and structure, including the presence of polyps, liquid in the uterine cavity, gas in the endometrial layer or on midline, the line of endometrial layers closure and the contour of endometrial midline were assessed.Results. There was no complete regress of any of pathological signs after treatment, but the frequency of most of them decreased significantly (p < 0.05). At the same time, there was no significant changes in such signs as heterogeneous structure and increased echogenicity of the endometrium (p > 0.05). In addition, a statistically significant decrease of endometrium thickness and volume, as well as endometrial/uterine volume ratio was obtained with a constant uterus volume (p < 0.05).Conclusion. The dynamic decrease in the frequency of revealing of the ultrasound signs in chronic endometritis on the background of comprehensive etiotropic therapy allows to assess a positive therapeutic benefits.

Published: April 2024

Objective: The aim of this research is to analyze the feasibility and impact of the Tri N-based E-PBL STEM learning model on students' critical thinking skills and verbal representation in science learning.

Theoretical framework: The competencies students must have in the 4.0 era are not just hard skills but more soft skills such as critical thinking and verbal representation. Learning must be able to facilitate the development of these skills while still upholding the teachings of the nation's culture. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a learning model based on problems, STEM and Tamansiswa Tri N teachings while still integrating technological advances with augmented reality.

Method: The method used is quasi experiment with a one group pre test-post test research design. This quasi experimental research uses only one experimental class without using the control class as a comparison..

Results and conclusion: The research results show that the Tri-N based EPBL-STEM model was rated "Very good" by the validator with a total score of 114, meaning it exceeds 85.5. This is reinforced by 100% implementation of the RPP and 82.4% student response, which means they really like this model and practicality results from practitioners are 87.5%. The Tri N-based E-PBL STEM model also has the impact of increasing students' critical thinking skills scores and verbal representations through the GAin test. The average gain score for each material is 0.64. Meanwhile, the average scores for critical thinking skills and verbal representation were 0.64 and 0.70 respectively. The conclusion that there is an increase in students' critical thinking skills and verbal representation in the medium category. The findings of this research show that the Tri N-based EPBL-STEM model developed is very good and very practical, so it is very suitable to be applied in learning.

Implications of the research: This research is limited to the variables of critical thinking skills and verbal representation of science as a first step to increasing students' soft skill competencies in building their own knowledge freely and comfortably.

Topical issues of early termination of powers of deputies of representative bodies of municipalities for non-compliance with anti-corruption legislation
Authors: Sukhareva Kseniia Sergeevna 
Published: April 2024

The early termination of the powers of deputies of representative bodies of municipalities as a measure of anti-corruption security has a high preventive potential. However, law enforcement practice indicates that deputies of representative bodies of municipalities abuse their rights, which is expressed, in particular, in avoiding the application of a measure of early termination of powers in relation to deputies who violated anti-corruption legislation. The current situation is largely determined by the consolidation in legislation of the exclusive competence of the representative body of the municipality to make a decision on the early termination of the powers of a deputy. There are often cases when, if there are grounds for early termination of the powers of a deputy due to a clear violation of the provisions of anti-corruption legislation, a representative body applies a less severe measure of responsibility or does not apply any measures at all. During the research, the author used the general scientific method of dialectical cognition, as well as private scientific methods: system-structural, formal-logical (deduction, induction), etc. According to the results of the study, the author came to the conclusion that one of the ways to solve the current situation is the legislative consolidation of the early termination of powers of a deputy of a representative body of a municipal formation in court. The Judicial Board for Administrative Cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in one of its rulings pointed to the possibility of early termination of the deputy's powers in court. At the same time, the question remains open about the need for a subsequent decision on the early termination of the powers of a deputy by a representative body, by virtue of the exclusive competence assigned to it by law, if the powers of a deputy were terminated prematurely by a court. The legislative consolidation of the measure in question in court will resolve existing issues about "judicial activism" and increase the effectiveness of its application.
Three-part scoring system (tripartite) for teledermatology versus International Contact Dermatitis Research Group criteria to interpret patch test readings: A comparative, observational study
Authors: Jasly Kuttiali , Goyal Sakshi , Ashwini PK , Kanthraj Garehatty Rudrappa , Chethana S Gurumurthy , Ranugha Subramaniam 
Published: April 2024

Background
The International Contact Dermatitis Research Group (ICDRG) grading is the gold standard and is used to interpret patch test results in allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). The ICDRG readings include a combination of visual and palpation findings. Digital photography limits palpation. An alternative scoring system exists to analyse 2D images and interpret patch test readings in teledermatology (TD).

Aim
To compare tri-partite scoring system (TPSS) (TD) with ICDRG (face-to-face) and to assess the feasibility of TPSS by TD.

Methods
In this observational study, two investigators each scored the patch test readings for 78 patients at the 48th h, 96th h and on the 7th day.

Results
The TPSS has a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 93.34%, positive predictive value of 91.67% and negative predictive value of 100%. At a confidence interval of 95%, Cohen’s kappa (0.90) indicated excellent agreement between both investigators. The concordance between both scoring systems was at 93.2% for agreement and 6.82% for disagreement. Polysensitisation (6 patients with 16 allergens) was detected equally in both methods.

Limitation
A single centre study.

Conclusion
The readings obtained by TPSS were in agreement with ICDRG. TPSS can reduce the number of patient visits by 50% and may be used during COVID-19 times and beyond.
Paradoxical psoriasis induced by IL-17 antagonists
Authors: Wang Yachen , Yang Fengling , Wang Ruizhe , Luo Suju 
Published: April 2024

Background
The paradoxical occurrence of psoriasis triggered by Interleukin-17 (IL-17) inhibitors is notable due to its prominent symptoms and the therapeutic dilemma it presents for follow-up care.

Objective
To describe cases in our clinic, perform an in-depth literature review, and suggest the most probable mechanisms of action.

Method
We conducted a literature review on published cases of IL-17 inhibitor-induced psoriasis.

Results
We found 22 articles reporting 30 cases of IL-17 inhibitor-induced paradoxical psoriasis, primarily observed in patients with a previous psoriasis history. Almost 60% of cases showed a change in lesion morphology, with the plaque or pustular type being prevalent. About 73.3% of patients had to discontinue the implicated drug, leading to partial or complete symptom resolution. The mechanism behind this response seemed to involve IL-17 inhibitors downregulating Tumour Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α), subsequently upregulating plasmacytoid dendritic cells and triggering unopposed IFN-alpha (IFN-α) production.

Limitation
Data are confined to case reports and case series.

Conclusion
More assertive measures are recommended for treating paradoxical psoriasis induced by IL-17 inhibitors than those caused by TNF-α inhibitors. Reintroducing an IL-17 inhibitor is not advised, as patients did not show improvement.
Linguistic and stylistic analysis of the vocabulary of the Altai storytellers N. Ulagashev and A. Kalkin
Authors: Konunov A. A. 
Published: April 2024

In this paper, the question of the linguistic features of the Altai heroic tales is considered, and a linguistic and stylistic analysis of their vocabulary is carried out. The author examines the artistic properties of synonyms, antonyms and such figurative means as epithets, comparisons, metaphors, hyperboles and litotes in the vocabulary of epic works by storytellers Alexei Kalkin and Nikolai Ulagashev.In the article, the author comes to the conclusion that due to the skillful use of figurative means by the storytellers, artistic expressiveness and emotionally expressive coloring of the vocabulary of the considered heroic tales are achieved. The general fund of the language is determined by the conceptual structure of the epic text and testifies to the stability and continuity of the vocabulary of the Altai heroic tales. The specific features of the vocabulary of the tales can be qualified as regional features. It was these features that predetermined the specifics of the language of the epic of the Altai peoples as a unique speech education.
