Published: February 2024

Pre-service teachers' ability to construct and conduct assessment has been a point of emphasis for decades, and rightfully so. It is crucial that they acquire the necessary knowledge and abilities in their language assessment course during their pre-service teacher education to effectively assess students in their future professional routines. The purpose of this research was to determine if and how pre-service English teachers' (PSETs) satisfaction with their language assessment course corresponded with their level of readiness. 51 out of 56 PSETs participated since they met the two requirements (passing the language assessment course and enrolling in TAP). The Fulcher (2012) language assessment literacy questionnaire was adapted and disseminated. The questions were organized into four categories for the purpose of analysis: overarching principles and concepts in linguistic assessment; designing language assessment; scoring test items and analyzing test results. Results demonstrated that LAL satisfaction was not congruent with assessment readiness. There was a "neutral" level of satisfaction among participants (51.5 percent), but they were nearly set to begin practicing assessment at their TAP (78.5 percent). Additionally included are statistics that are specific to each of the four categories found in the questionnaire. In particular, the study suggests that training in evaluating open-response questions and analyzing test items warrants expansion. Additional research could fill in the gap between LAL satisfaction and the PSETs by examining the relationship between the two.

Authors: Bahamondes-Quezada Giselle Catherine , Fuenzalida-Campos Elsa Nataly 
Published: February 2024

Introducción: durante el proceso de educación formal en Chile, son diversos los géneros argumentativos que se abordan en el aula tanto desde la comprensión como desde la producción. En este caso, la investigación tiene como finalidad conocer la concepción que tienen docentes y estudiantes chilenos de tercero y cuarto medio respecto de la comprensión crítica del género ensayo argumentativo.
Método: es una investigación de carácter cualitativo, interpretativo y transversal, que obtuvo la información a través de una entrevista semi estructurada aplicada a profesores de diversas asignaturas del currículo nacional chileno y de un grupo focal con estudiantes de tercero y cuarto medio (en el sistema escolar chileno, los estudiantes de tercero y cuarto medio, tienen un promedio de 17 años.). Lo anterior, basado en tres ejes temáticos: Comprensión lectora, lectura crítica y género ensayo argumentativo.
Resultados: entre los resultados es posible señalar que no existe una concepción común entre profesores y estudiantes para referirse a los ejes investigados; que los educandos valoran positivamente la importancia del ensayo argumentativo en el aula como aporte relevante al momento de continuar estudios y, que la formación docente de otras disciplinas no aborda la lectura crítica y la producción del género, por lo que los profesores no tienen conocimiento cabal sobre estrategias de comprensión y producción del género ensayo argumentativo.
Conclusiones: como conclusión, considerar los momentos de lectura y las características del ensayo argumentativo será fundamental para contar con una base conceptual común en todas las áreas del conocimiento que alberga el currículo educativo nacional y que en este sentido debe ser transversal.

Introduction: Blood donation is the major source of blood as well as components of blood worldwide. Even though there are lots of promising components to substitute blood, a true component for blood and blood components is not available. Donated blood is an essential component in the management of many diseases. It is the core lifesaving component for an individual with loss of large volumes of blood from accidents, hemorrhages, or surgery.
Aims: To evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practices of blood donors who visit blood bank.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was done among 227 voluntary donors during six different Blood Donation Campaigns from March to October 2023.
Results: A total of 227 blood donors participated in this research, with ages ranging from 19 to 60 years, and an average age of 34.7 years with a standard deviation of 8.77. Among all donors, the majority were male (71.4%), with females representing 28.6%. 1.3% of the donors were illiterate, while 26 % were literate. Additionally, 33% hold a secondary-level degree, 31.3 percent have a bachelor's degree, and 8.4 percent possess a master's degree or higher. The majority (46.7%) of the voluntary blood donors were from the service sector, 11% were students, 5.3% in business, 3.5%. were engaged in agriculture and 1.8% working in foreign employment. The remaining 31.7% were involved in various other occupations.
Conclusion: Almost 1/10th, 5% had adequate knowledge and 72% showed positive attitude related to blood donation in our study the level of blood donation practice was in majority of donor about 89%.

Introduction: Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology is a widely used method for palpable/nonpalpable masses. Radiological image guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology is less invasive, safe and cost effective method for diagnosis of masses in less accessible sites like intra-abdominal organs. Ultrasound or Computed Tomography guided methods are usually preferred.
Aims: This study was done to evaluate the diagnostic utility of image guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in an intra-abdominal and retroperitoneal lesions and confirmation by histopathology whenever available.
Methods: This is a hospital based prospective study over a period of one year (October 2022 to September 2023) in department of Pathology, Nepalgunj Medical College, Kohalpur, Nepal. Patients who presented clinically and radiologically with intraabdominal or retroperitoneal masses were included in which direct Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology was not possible. A cytological opinion was made by correlating with clinical and radiological findings. Histological correlation was carried out in patients who went surgical excision or biopsy of lesion.
Results: Among 52 cases studied, all were accessible via ultrasonography. Cytopathological diagnosis was obtained in 49 cases and three cases were unsatisfactory. Among them 44 were malignant, one was suspicious and seven were non-neoplastic. Liver was most frequently aspirated organ (23 cases) with commonest diagnosis being metastatic adenocarcinoma (17 cases). Cyto-histological correlation was available in 16 cases. This study shows 100% specificity and 93.3% sensitivity. Diagnostic accuracy was 94.2%.
Conclusion: Image guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology plays an important role in diagnosis of deep-seated nonpalpable lesions. It is safe and provides rapid diagnosis with minimal complications.

Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes mellitus is a kind of systemic disease with serious microvascular and macrovascular complications incorporate diabetic nephropathy. The Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a simple and cheap laboratory tool used to predict the prognosis of many non-communicable diseases such as diabetic nephropathy.
Aims: To compare neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio between type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic nephropathy and without diabetic nephropathy.
Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted at teaching hospital, Morang, Nepal. Non probability convenience sampling technique was used to collect data of 226 participants by using clinical and laboratory forms and formats. The data was analysed in SPSS version 21.00.
Results: Laboratory parameters were compared between two groups. High density lipoprotein (p=0.028) and low density lipoprotein (p<0.01) and glycaemic parameters fasting blood glucose (p=0.028), postprandial blood glucose (p=0.0005) and glycated haemoglobin (p=0.007) were found to be significantly raised in diabetic nephropathy patients as compared to without diabetic nephropathy patient. Renal function tests such as estimated glomerular filtration rate (p<0.01), serum creatinine (p<0.01), urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (p< 0.01) showed high significant differences between two groups. Blood cell count, platelets (p<0.01) and white blood cell (p<0.01) were found to have statistically significant between patients with diabetic nephropathy and without diabetic nephropathy. Majority of individuals with smoking habit fell in diabetic nephropathy group as compared with individual without diabetic nephropathy. Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio was high in diabetic nephropathy group.
Conclusion: The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio was significantly raised in type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy. Based on above finding, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio may be considered as a predictor and a prognostic biomarker of diabetic nephropathy.

Published: February 2024

The present review aimed to explore Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) from the perspective of different policies and schemes in India. India implements various policies and schemes for early childhood education (ECCE), including NEP 2020, NPE 1986, and NCF 2005, ICDS, National ECCE Policy, NPAC 2016, SDG 4 which recommend various aspects of early education. These recommendations are significant for ECCE development. ECCE refers to different types of programs that support a child's physical, mental and social development from birth to approximately age 7 or 8. The ECCE programme is very significant because it is the basis for the future development of children. Like many other countries, in India, many policies and schemes are available for ECCE. The study is qualitative in nature, utilizing secondary data sources such as books, journals, research articles, websites, newspapers, and government publications. It aims to examine the policy provisions and their impact on improving education at the pre-school level and school education.

Published: February 2024

Parasitic infection is considered one of the major constraints in commercial fish farms owing to huge economic losses. Although there are plenty of commercial drugs available for treatments, those synthetic chemicals are more hazardous to the host and the environment than the parasite. Therefore, a special trend can be seen towards herbal medications. The present study is utmost significance as it focused on a well-known spice, Garlic (Allium sativum) as a bath treatment against gyrodactylosis caused by Gyrodactylus sp. The soxhlet extraction method was used to haul out the water-soluble compounds and the major components were identified using Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) techniques. During the phytochemical analysis, flavonoids, glycosides, quinones, and diterpenes were identified where the alkaloids, tannins, and phenols were absent in garlic extract. To find out the LC50, values acute toxicity test was performed in 72 hours with triplicates and 802.2ppm value was resulted. 216 of infected adult guppies (2.9 ± 0.1cm, 0.32 ± 0.05 g) were used for a three-hour in vitro bath treatment with different concentrations of garlic extract including 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 mg/L. Complete recovery from gyrodactylosis is observed by the means of microscopic observations at 3, 2.5, 2, and 1.5 h with 50, 100, 150, and 200mg/L of concentrations, respectively. According to the observations, it can be concluded that exposure to garlic extract caused the parasite to first detach from the host, then restrict its movements, and finally die. A significant negative correlation (p<0.01) can be observed between the garlic concentration and the eradication time. 250 ppm garlic extract bath for 0.5 hours was identified as the optimal and most effective treatment against gyrodactylosis. Therefore, garlic extract can be suggested as a herbal bath treatment against agent Gyrodactylosis infection in guppy fish.

The variation in climatic conditions over space and time is considered a major driving force in speciation. Gloger's rule is one such rule that broadly explains the variation in the colouration of endotherms (birds and mammals) with the effects of climatic parameters. This predicts that endothermic animals tend to have darker colouration in warm and rainy climates. Here we have tried to explain the variation in the belly white colour in Dicrurus caerulescens (White-bellied Drongo), an overall black coloured bird with a variable white belly. The dark bellied birds are considered the subspecies D. c., and the pale bellied birds are considered D. c.insularis (in dryzone of Sri Lanka). A total number of 112 individuals of adult White-bellied Drongo, including field (n=23) and museum samples (n=36) from Sri Lanka (Total 59), and museum samples from India (n=45) and Nepal (n=8) which were deposited at the National Museum of Sri Lanka, Field Museum of Natural History, USA and the Natural History Museum, UK were taken into consideration. The length of the white belly was measured using a dial calliper adopting a standardized method to minimize inconsistencies. To understand how the extent of white belly varied with respect to precipitation and temperature, we adopted generalized least squares (GLS) methods accounting for spatial autocorrelation between data points. The climatic variables were extracted from the world climatic data through QGIS software. The GLS methods were carried out using the ―nlme‖ package in the R Software for different orders of Autoregressive-moving average (ARMA) for the squared value of white belly length. To find the best fitting model, we used the Akaike information criterion (AIC) using the package ―AICcmodavg‖ in the R. From this, we found a negative significant effect of the interaction between the temperature and precipitation for the white belly length over the studied area in ARMA (1, 1) correlation (-3.72e-01±-0.022, t= -2.23, p<0.05). The white belly is smaller; hence the birds are darker where there is higher temperature and precipitation. The reverse (pale belly) is true when lower temperatures and/or humidity. Therefore, this follows the Gloger's rule of becoming darker in colouration with the high rainfall and temperature in D. caerulescens.
