Authors: Sultana Tanzila , Uddin Mohammad Mahir , Rahman Md Mahbubur , Shahjahan Md 
Published: May 2023

Experiments were carried out to investigate the host preference of cucurbit fruit fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae and its management to cucurbitaceous vegetables namely, bitter gourd, ridge gourd and snake gourd. Among the vegetables, bitter gourd was found as mostly preferable (upto 40.69% fruit infestation) and snake gourd was found as the least preferable (18.64% fruit infestation). Among management tactics (fruit bagging, neem oil, mahogany oil, alamonda leaf extract, pheromone trap and cider vinegar traps), bagging reduced maximum fruit infestation (upto 75.51%) compared to controlled plots. Among the botanicals, neem oil was mostly effective (21.64% reduction of fruit infestations) followed by alamonda leaf extract and mahogany oil. Both traps were found effective and more insect were trapped in the pheromone trap.

Published: May 2023

The study was performed for investigating the dietary effect of different levels of mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) powder on the performance of broiler. Four experimental rations designated as T0, T1, T2 and T3 having 0g, 5g, 8g and 10g dried mushroom powder/kg of feed was fed to 120 broiler chicks (Cobb 500), randomly distributed into 8 replicates, so as to have 2 replicates per treatment containing 15 chicks in each. The experiment was carried out for 30 days. Average weight gain, feed consumption, feed efficiency, dressing yield and survivability were used as criteria of response to feeding mushroom powder. Organs weight including heart, liver and gizzard were also recorded. The mean body weight per broiler was 1292.24, 1501.66, 1445.19 and 1434.97g in 30 days for the treatment of groups T0, T1, T2, and T3 respectively (P<0.01). The average feed consumption per broiler was 2374.77, 2273.55, 2283.86 and 2276.3g (P<0.01) in 30 days for the groups of T0, T1, T2, and T3 respectively. The average feed efficiency (feed/kg body weight gain) was 1.84, 1.52, 1.58 and 1.59 (P<0.01) in 30 days for group T0, T1, T2, and T3 respectively. The mean dressing yield was 57.16%, 60.63%, 58.89% and 61.42% (P<0.01) for the groups of T0, T1, T2, and T3 respectively. The average weight of abdominal fat 2.69%, 1.55%, 1.74% and 1.65% (P<0.01) and heart was 8.5, 10.25, 8.5 and 7.6g (P<0.05). The average weight of liver was 43.1, 43.5, 46 and 43.5g (P>0.05) for the groups of T0, T1, T2, and T3 respectively. The mean gizzard weight was 35.25, 35, 34.5 and 35.75g (P>0.05) for the groups of T0, T1, T2, and T3 respectively. Survivability was 100%, for all the groups of T0, T1, T2, and T3 respectively. It may be concluded that the use of mushroom as feed additive at a level of 5g enhances the overall performance of broiler chicks.

Published: May 2023

An agronomical trial on Napier fodder was conducted to determine the biomass yield and chemical composition with the effect of different sources of organic manures such as biogas slurry, broiler litter and layer litter for fodder production. There was significant (P<0.05) difference in biomass yield and chemical composition among different treatment groups. The maximum biomass yield (mt/ha) was observed in layer litter (16.67a± 0.89) followed by Broiler litter (10.05bc ± 0.10), Biogas slurry (08.97bc± 0.99) and control group (06.65c± 0.90; respectively. It also showed that number of tiller/hill was significantly (P≤0.05) differed among the treatments and maximum observed in layer litter (19.50a ± 1.05) than others. The DM% in all groups was mostly similar but DM yield was the highest (19.11± 0.44%)) in layer litter compared to others group. It may be suggested that layer litter may be used as organic sources of fertilizer as well as the soil health and fodder cultivation for small to large scale farmers in Bangladesh.

Authors: Munsi MN , Ershaduzzaman M , Taimur MJFA 
Published: May 2023

Dermatophytosis (ringworm), an infection of the superficial keratinized structures of the skin and hair, is the most common contagious skin disease in cattle. It is a remarkable public and veterinary health problem reported from different parts of the world and causes great economic loss. A number of calves were simultaneously affected with this disease in the cattle farm of Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute (BLRI). So, this study was undertaken to develop a suitable treatment approach for controlling the disease in the herd. A total of 20 calves of Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) were selected for the trial. All the experimental calves were divided into five groups namely – T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4. T0 group was kept as control and T1, T2, T3 and T4 groups were allowed for treatment. The drugs used for treatment were griseofulvin, streptomycin-penicillin, antihistaminic and vitamin AD3E in group T1; ivermectin, streptomycin-penicillin, antihistaminic and vitamin AD3E in T2; topical antifungal ointment, griseofulvin, streptomycin-penicillin, antihistaminic and vitamin AD3E in T3; and topical antifungal ointment, ivermectin, streptomycin-penicillin, antihistaminic and vitamin AD3E in group T4. No drug was used in T0 (control).The duration of the experiment was about one month. The fungal spores of Trichophyton spp., and Microsporum spp. were observed in the samples (skin scrapping) under microscope using 20% potassium hydroxide solution. All experimental calves were observed after 7 days to know the response of the treatment. On the basis of visual observation the result was recorded on day 14. All experimental calves were observed after 7 days to know the response of the treatment. On the basis of visual observation the result was recorded on day 14. Calves in control group remain same. Calves suffering from chronic dermatomycosis or dermatophytosis (ringworm) can be treated with topical antifungal ointment, griseofulvin tablet, streptonmycin-penicillin injection, antihistaminic injection and vitamin AD3E injection as per dosages used in this experiment. If the case is acute, topical antifungal ointment and griseofulvin tablet may be recommended as treatment measures. Vitamin AD3E may or may not be used in this case.

Neo-colonialism in cultural governance in the EU: a Maltese case study
Authors: Xuereb Dr Karsten 
Published: May 2023

The case of cultural governance in Malta will be assessed to throw light on neo-colonialist practices persistent in relations between the European Union (EU) and Member States today. A sense of continuity between British rule in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and current cultural governance in Malta seems to have facilitated EU support of neo-liberal economic approaches to culture. It will be argued that this tension has allowed nationalistic tendencies and the instrumental use of the sector to grow. The term ‘culture’ is interpreted following Edward Said with regard to the acknowledgment of general social practices together with the struggle for the assertion of identities.
This paper makes the case that the adherence of the EU to the principle of subsidiarity in culture, combined with the prioritisation of economic principles, seem to have compromised cultural development in Malta through the dilution of a critical approach towards cultural practice. This strategic approach seems to have enabled the continuation of a colonial framework by enabling the subtle yet pervasive dominance of culture by the state elite.
Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on academic preparation and performance: a complex picture of equity
Authors: Burkholder Eric W. , Salehi Shima 
Published: May 2023

IntroductionMany experts have predicted a drop in students’ academic performance due to an extended period of remote instruction and other harmful effects of the pandemic.MethodsAs university instructors and education researchers, we sought to investigate the effects of the pandemic on students’ preparation for college-level coursework and their performance in early college using mixed effects regression models. Data were collected from STEM students at a public research university in the southeastern United States.ResultsWe found that demographic gaps in high school preparation (as measured by ACT scores) between men and women, as well as underrepresented minority and majority students, remained relatively consistent after the start of the pandemic. These gaps were approximately 1 point (out of 36) and 3 points, respectively. However, the gap between first generation and continuing generation students increased from prior to 2020, to after 2020, going from approximately 1 point to 2 points. This gap in preparation was not accompanied by a corresponding shift in the demographics of the student population and there was no corresponding increase in the demographic gaps in students’ first term grades.DiscussionThe data seem to suggest that first-generation students in STEM suffered more from the changes to secondary instruction during the pandemic, but that college instructors were able to mitigate some of these effects on first-semester grades. However, these effects were only mitigated to the extent that they preserved the status quo of pre-pandemic inequities in undergraduate STEM education.

IntroductionDespite all the efforts made to control or even eliminate malaria, the disease continues to claim the highest number of victims of vector-borne pathogens in the world and Sub-Saharan countries bear the heaviest burden. The lack of knowledge of the role of various protagonists involved in the transmission of this parasitic disease, such as mosquito vectors and the plasmodial species they transmit as well as the host species they infect in a locality, constitutes one of the main causes of the persistence of malaria. In Gabon, in several areas, entomological data on malaria transmission remain poorly known. Thus, this study aimed to determine the diversity of Anopheles involved in malaria transmission in different environments of the province of Nyanga in southwest Gabon.MethodsFor this, an entomological study was carried out in the four main localities of the province of Nyanga to provide answers to these shortcomings. Mosquitoes were collected over several nights using the human landing catch method. The identification of Anopheles and malaria parasites circulating in the different sites was achieved by combining morphological and molecular analysis tools.ResultsA total of five hundred and ninety-one (591) mosquitoes belonging to the Culicidae family were collected. From this collection of adult mosquitoes, nine species of Anopheles mosquitoes notably species of the Anopheles nili complex (53.46%) followed by those of Anopheles gambiae complex (22.01%), Anopheles funestus group (18.24%), Anopheles moucheti complex (5.66%) and Anopheles hancocki (0.63%). Approximately 18 percent of these Anopheles species were infected with Plasmodium spp. Anopheles funestus, known to be involved in malaria transmission to humans, and An. moucheti-like, recently discovered in Gabon, and whose status in Plasmodium transmission is not yet elucidated, were found to be infected with great ape Plasmodium.DiscussionOur results raise the question of the potential switch of simian malaria parasites to humans. If these observations are confirmed in the future, and the infective capacity of the bridge vectors is demonstrated, this new situation could ultimately constitute an obstacle to progress in the fight against malaria.

BackgroundAmbroxol is a widely used mucoactive drug in sputum clearance of respiratory diseases taken orally and by injection. However, there is a paucity of evidence for inhaled ambroxol in sputum clearance.MethodsThis study performed a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial at 19 centers in China. Hospitalized adult patients with mucopurulent sputum and expectoration difficulty were recruited. Patients were randomized by 1:1 to receive inhalation of either ambroxol hydrochloride solution 3 mL (22.5 mg) + 0.9% sodium chloride 3 mL or 0.9% sodium chloride 6 mL twice daily for 5 days, with an interval of more than 6 h. The primary efficacy endpoint was the absolute change in the sputum property score after treatment compared to the baseline in the intention-to-treat population.ResultsBetween 10 April 2018 and 23 November 2020, 316 patients were recruited and assessed for eligibility, of whom 138 who received inhaled ambroxol and 134 who received a placebo were included. Patients who received inhaled ambroxol had a significantly greater decrease in the sputum property score compared with patients who received inhalation of placebo (difference: −0.29; 95% CI: −0.53 to −0.05; p = 0.0215). Compared with the placebo, inhaled ambroxol also significantly reduced more expectoration volume in 24 h (difference: −0.18; 95% CI: −0.34 to −0.03; p  = 0.0166). There was no significant difference in the proportion of adverse events between the two groups, and no deaths were reported.DiscussionIn hospitalized adult patients with mucopurulent sputum and expectoration difficulty, inhaled ambroxol was safe and effective for sputum clearance compared with a placebo.Clinical trial registration[https://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.html?proj=184677], Chinese Clinical Trial Registry [ChiCTR2200066348].
