Authors: Marquez Bogart Yail , Realyvásquez-Vargas Arturo , Lopez-Esparza Nelson , Ramos Carlos E. 
Published: September 2023

Employee turnover, also known as labor turnover or employee attrition, refers to the flow of employees entering and leaving an organization within a specific time. It is an indicator used to measure the number of employees who leave a company and are replaced by new hires. This project aims to create and implement an artificial intelligence model using the Python programming language and the TensorFlow library. The focus is developing a dashboard to facilitate the model training process and enable predictions related to employee turnover in the business context. The goal is to enhance predictive capabilities and provide valuable strategic and human resources talent management and decision-making insights. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, the project aims to identify patterns and factors that influence employee turnover. This, in turn, will enable the implementation of preventive measures and corrective actions to reduce turnover rates and maintain workforce stability in the company.

Authors: Shandilya Abhinav Kumar , Kumar Dilip 
Published: September 2023

Multinational Companies (MNCs) are expanding their business to maintain the growth rate. Many developing countries like India are welcoming the MNCs to grab the benefits like foreign investment, advanced technology, proper utilisation of natural resources, employment etc., to name a few. MNCs like Nestle, CocaCola, Procter and Gamble, Ranbaxy Laboratories, and Pepsico have spread their business in India in food processing, beverage, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage. The products of these MNCs are now challenged by Patanjali’s “Swadesi aur Sudh” products. This study investigates the effects of economic animosity, ethnocentrism, and price on consumers’ purchase decisions of the middle-aged service class.

Published: September 2023

The present study was conducted on eighteen horses divided into three groups, consisting of six horses in each irrespective of their size, breed and body weight. Horses from all groups were pre-anaesthetized with xylazine (1.1 mg/kg b.wt.) intravenously and anesthetized after 5 min with doses of zoletil (Tiletamine and zolazepam) @ 0.5 mg/kg, 0.8 mg/kg and 1.1 mg/kg BW in groups I, II and III, respectively. Evaluation of different parameters like time of induction of anaesthesia, quality of induction, duration of anaesthesia, degree of muscle relaxation, time and quality of recovery were evaluated and compared between the groups. Different haematological, biochemical and clinical parameters were studied before administration of pre-anaesthetic, during anaesthesia and after complete recovery. There was no significant difference noted for clinical, haematological, biochemical and anaesthetic parameters between the three groups. Quality of induction and anaesthesia was better in group II and group III than group I. Time required attaining sternal recumbency, standing and completing recovery were significantly longer in group III than group I and group II. Overall quality of recovery was better in group I and group II than group III. On the basis of this study, we can say zoletil at a dose rate of 0.8 mg per kg body weight provide better quality of field anaesthesia associated with smooth recovery for short term surgical procedures like gelding.
Integrons: A Mobile Genetic Element of Concern in Antimicrobial Resistance Gene Transfer: An Overview
Authors: Gidla Veera Venkata Satyanarayana , V.J Ajay Kumar , V. Bhanu Rekha , G. Deepan 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the major global public health problems. There are numerous factors which contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance. One such factor is integrons which is a mobile genetic element. Integrons contribute to the spread and distribution of antimicrobial resistance genes across diverse bacterial species through horizontal gene transfer. Integrons are made up of three components namely an integrase gene (intI), a primary recombination site (attI) and a promoter region. Integrons transfer resistance genes through transfer of plasmids or through phages. There are two types of integrons such as resistance integrons and super integrons. Resistance integrons are of 4 classes (class I-IV). Class 1 integrons are major contributors of antimicrobial resistance globally and found as contaminant in all ecosystems dominated by humans. The peculiarity of integrons is that they offer a mechanism for quick migration and exchange of various resistance genes. Bacteria with antibiotics, disinfectants and heavy metals discharged into waste streams hotspots are created where intricate interactions and selection events can take place for the interchange of genes and the creation of novel gene combinations.

Published: September 2023

The objective of this study was to assess the prevailing indigenous calf mortality & its pattern in the operational area of Dairy Vigyan Kendra (DVK), Vejalpur, Gujarat, India. Using the simple random sampling method, 300 indigenous cattle owners from 6 villages each from 10 talukas were selected for the study from August to December 2021. The data were collected based on the pre-tested structured interview schedule. Overall indigenous calf mortality was observed 27.90 % in the study area. There was a higher mortality rate in male calves (53.43%) than in female indigenous calves (11.97%) due to limited attention towards the male calf. The mortality rate was recorded higher during the first three months of age (76.42%) and during the summer (50.00%). The major reason of calf mortality was diarrhoea or dysentery. Most indigenous cattle owners had not adopted the recommended calf management practices. Farmers urgently need extension services on scientific calf rearing practices such as cutting navel cord with sterilized object, providing colostrum and milk as per body weight, on-time colostrum feeding, provision of milk replacer, calf starter, salt, mineral mixture, deworming, and HS & FMD vaccination.

Deficit macro and micro-minerals in the ration of lactating Jaffarabadi buffaloes adversely affects growth, milk production and reproduction efficiency. For present study, four villages from each of 5 talukas were selected at random for taking representative samples of soil, feeds, forages and blood plasma of lactating Jaffarabadi buffaloes. Within the village, help was sought from village milk producers and district animal husbandry officer for identification of 3 farmers and collection of representative samples. All the samples were processed and analysed for chemical composition as well as major macro and micro-minerals, using Microwave Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometer (MP-AES). Ca content was high in groundnut haulms (0.95%), but maize forage (0.23%), cotton seed cake (0.16%), cotton seed (0.12%) and maize cake (0.25) were found to be below the critical level (0.30%). The P content in concentrate ingredients was high (0.38-0.68%), but low in roughages (0.07-0.20%). Green jowar (0.18%) and maize cake (0.10%) were deficient in Mg. Feeds and forages were found to be adequate in iron. Abundant level of Cu was found in all feeds and forage. Sugarcane was found deficient in all minerals, except iron, and groundnut haulms (20.70 ppm) were found to be deficient in Zn. The blood mineral profile of the majority of lactating Jaffarabadi buffaloes was adequate. From the present study, it was apparent that soil and therefore forages cultivated in particular region were deficient in P and Zn. Same minerals were adequate in concentrate available in this area. So, to fulfil the requirement of deficient minerals there is need to feed concentrate along with area specific mineral mixture to the buffaloes.

Authors: Das Meena , Kumar Rakesh , Katiyar Rahul 
Published: September 2023

The present study reports the prevalence of coccidiosis in Murrah buffalo calves (8 nos.) of 11-22 days of age in hilly region of Meghalaya. Clinical signs observed were diarrhea, anorexia, weakness and loss of weight. Fecal sample examination by flotation and modified McMaster techniques revealed the presence of four species of Eimeria, viz., E. bareillyi (29.42%), E. zuernii (22.76%), E. bovis (36.53%) and E. ellipsoidalis (11.29%). High intensity of infection oocyst per gram (OPG) of feces was observed in infected calves. The OPG ranged from 20200 to 121000. Mortality observed when OPG exceeded 121000 which may be due to severe diarrhea, anorexia and weakness. The calves were successfully treated with Amprolium @ 10 mg per kg body weight orally for 7 days, Ceftriaxone @ 0.5 gm I/M for 5 days, Melonex @ 1.5 mL I/M for 5 days, Tribivet @ 1.5 mL I/M along with vimeral @ 10 mL orally for 3 days and fluid therapy @ 500 mL intravenously daily for 3 days. After 7 days of treatment most of the calves recovered gradually and started normal feeding.
Therapeutic Management of Babesiosis in a Cow: A Case Report
Authors: Bante Shivani , Bagherwal Rajendra Kumar , Agrawal Vivek , Rajoriya Shweta 
Published: September 2023

Babesiosis is a haemoprotozoan disease intraerythrocytic protozoan parasites of the genus Babesia that infect a wide range of domestic and wild animals. It is one of the common tick borne haemoprotozoan diseases affecting the bovines in tropical and subtropical parts of Africa, Australia, America, and Asia including India (Kumar and Kala, 2018). In India, annual economic losses to livestock due to babesiosis are estimated to be about 57.2 million US dollars which is mainly caused by two most important species, i.e., Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina (Bock et al., 2004). The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus is the main vector involved with the transmission and is the only known vector for bovine babesiosis (Souza et al., 2018). Due to universal distribution of the ixodid tick, babesiosis is considered as the second most widespread blood-borne disease of animals (Homer et al., 2000) and is prominently gaining increasing interest as an emerging zoonosis of humans also (Homer et al., 2000; Zintl et al., 2003). Clinical symptoms of Babesiosis are classical haemoglobinuria which is often present, with anaemia and jaundice that develops especially in more protracted cases (Bock et al., 2004). The disease has been recorded in all the cattle breeds but more commonly in exotic and crossbred cattle than in indigenous ones (Chakrabarti, 2003). The present communication describes the haemato-biochemical profile and therapeutic management of a non-descript native cow with babesiosis infection.
Management of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (Clear Cell Variant) in Bovine - A Case Report
Authors: Prajapati Ankit S , Chauhan Prakash M , Raval Samir H 
Published: September 2023

Tumors of the bovine gastrointestinal tract are rare, possibly because of the low age of the sample population (Bertone, 1990). Neoplasia in cattle carries a poor prognosis because of early adenocarcinoma metastasis and the high fatality of lymphosarcoma. Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most rude type of skin cancer, with basal cell carcinoma being the most common (Rinker et al., 2001). Squamous cell carcinoma has been documented in bovine (Musser et al., 1993). Clear-cell squamous cell carcinoma is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma, first described by Kuo (1980) as a skin tumor. The exact etiology is unclear, but ultraviolet radiation has been suggested as a possible cause in humans (Lawal et al., 2013). This report documents a case of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (clear cell variant) in perianal region of a cow and its successful surgical management.
In Solidarity with the Earth
Authors: Koster Hilda P. , Deane-Drummond Celia 
Published: September 2023

Based on case studies, the book creates a multidisciplinary conversation on the gendered vulnerabilities resulting from extractive industries and toxic pollution, and also charts the resilience and courage of women as they resist polluting industries, fight for clean water and seek to protect the land. While ecumenical in scope, the book takes its departure from the concept of integral ecology introduced in Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’.
The first three sections of the book focus on the social and ecological challenges facing minoritized women and their communities that are related to mining, pollutants and biodiversity loss, and toxicity. The final section of the book focuses on the possibilities and obstacles to global solidarity. All chapters offer a cross disciplinary response to a particular local situation, tracing the ways ecological destruction, resulting from extraction and toxic contamination, affects the lives of women and their communities. The book pays careful attention to the political, economic, and legal structures facilitating these life-threatening challenges. Each section concludes with a response from a ‘practitioner’ in the field, representing an ecclesial organization or NGO focused on eco-justice advocacy in the global South, or minority communities in the global North.
Ghana
Authors: Ahlman Jeffrey 
Published: September 2023

What does it mean to write a “national history”? What does it mean to write a national history of Ghana spanning a so-called modern era largely defined by the nineteenth and twentieth centuries? Neither of these concepts as commonly defined in the West--neither the nation nor the modern era--sits comfortably on Ghana's historical shoulders.
Here renowned history scholar Jeffrey Ahlman shows that both of these concepts, as well as the very notions of the “Gold Coaster” or the “Ghanaian,” are moving targets. All are deployed strategically for some and, at times, just as strategically against others as those living in what eventually becomes Ghana seek to make their way through the changing realities of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Foregrounding the sometimes overlapping, sometimes divergent, and sometimes contradictory nature of Ghanaian cultural origin stories through discussions of marriage, race, and dress; of cocoa as a cultural system; of the cultural politics of chieftaincy; and of other contemporary markers of Ghanaian identity, Ghana: A Political and Social History distills decades of work by scholars—Ghanaian and non-Ghanaian alike. Putting such work in conversation with a wide array of archival, oral, journalistic, and governmental sources both ccolonial and postcolonial, this book provides a comprehensive overview of Ghanaian history while providing fresh insights into the limitations of those histories.
For its comprehensive coverage and deliberately accessible style, this book is a must-read nor only for students of African history and African studies more generally, but also for anyone interested in how Western-led concepts such as “the nation” and “national history” fit onto--or don’t fit onto--non-Western historical experiences.
New Military Strategies in the Gulf
Authors: Samaan Jean-Loup 
Published: September 2023

In the last decade, rulers in Gulf regimes have aspired to greater strategic autonomy and distance from the West. Coined the "Gulf moment" by local commentators, this regional trend reflects a redistribution of power in the Arab world. This is the first book to examine the military dimensions of these shifts. Gulf military strategy has prioritised the improvement of local armed forces and the diversification of defence partnerships towards countries such as Russia, Turkey or China. However, this book shows how this has led to the militarisation of Gulf societies, the further erosion of multilateral initiatives - including the Gulf Cooperation Council - and the Gulf's disastrous involvement in the war in Yemen. The book also highlights the enduring reliance on the West.
Each chapter covers a key aspect of defence policy from governance of armed forces, military education and power projection capabilities to regional security cooperation and lessons from warfighting experiences. Close attention is paid to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, countries that have enjoyed prominent roles in the region’s security affairs during the last ten years. The research is based on extensive fieldwork and interviews with major decision-makers, officials, and diplomatic and military representatives. It is also uses recently declassified and “leaked” official documents to gain rare insight into what Gulf countries intend for their defence policies.
The Soviet Gulag
Authors: Hardy Jeffrey S. 
Published: September 2023

A vivid account of the Gulag, the Soviet Union’s infamous penal system, this book charts how Bolshevik visions of a humane alternative to Tsarist exile and Western penitentiaries became a chaotic and violent system of mass incarceration that bore a tragic human toll.
As the first concise history in the English language, The Soviet Gulag: History and Memory provides an illuminating account of the Gulag from 1917, through to the end of the Soviet Union and the contested memory of the Gulag that persists today.
Beginning with their conception, during the various penal experiments of the 1920s, their expansion, during the campaigns against perceived enemies of the Soviet regime in the 1930s, and their decline in the years proceeding Stalin’s death, Jeffrey S. Hardy explores how many facets of Gulag life endured right up until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. He addresses both the intentions of administrators and the experience of inmates, as well as covering the main scholarly debates surrounding these issues,
Crucially, the book also examines the post-Soviet era. You discover how politicians, nongovernmental organizations, and Gulag survivors have debated how or even if to commemorate the victims of the Gulag. Hardy reveals that despite numerous monuments and museum displays emerging out of these discussions, the Gulag’s legacy remains hotly contested in Russia today
Jokes in Greek Comedy
Authors: Scott Naomi 
Published: September 2023

In ancient Greek comedy, nothing is ever ‘just a joke’. This book treats jokes with the seriousness they deserve, and shows that far from being mere surface-level phenomena, jokes in Greek comedy are in fact a site of poetic experimentation whose creative force expressly rivals that of serious literature.
Focusing on the fragments of authors including Cratinus, Pherecrates, and Archippus alongside the extant plays of Aristophanes, Naomi Scott argues that jokes are critical to comedy’s engagement with the language and convention of poetic representation. More than this, she suggests that jokes and poetry share a kind of kinship as two modes of utterance which specifically set out to flout the rules of ordinary speech. Starting with bad puns, and taking in crude slapstick, vulgar innuendo and frivolous absurdism, Jokes in Greek Comedy demonstrates that the apparently inconsequential jokes which pepper the surface of Greek comedy in fact amplify the impossible and defamiliarizing qualities of standard poetic practice, and reveal the fundamental ridiculousness of treating make-believe as a serious endeavour. In this way, jokes form a central part of Greek comedy’s contestation of the role of language, and particularly poetic language, in the truthful representation of reality.
Christians in the City of Shanghai
Authors: Patrick Susangeline Y. , Brandner Tobias , li-M Fohle Lygunda , McGeoch Graham 
Published: September 2023

Examining the stories of diverse Christians in Shanghai, this book uses the city as a model to highlight how a minority religion in a city has interacted with other religions as well as social, cultural, political, and economic changes.
Susangeline Y. Patrick illustrates how the history of Shanghai Christians sheds light on why and how Christians have accommodated social and political changes, and gives valuable insights into multiculturalism, globalization, sinicization, and ecclesiology. The interreligious dialogues between Shanghai Christians and other traditions such as Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, Islam, and Judaism throughout history provide worthy reflections on the roles of Christians in a multi-religious space.
