Published: February 2023

Jagung merupakan komoditas pertanian yang cukup potensial dikembangkan karena berbagai faktor, selain sebagai bahan pangan, jagung juga banyak mengandung karbohidrat kedua setelah beras dan jagung juga dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan industri pakan ternak (Sarasutha, 2002). Selain menjadi pakan ternak, jagung juga dapat diolah menjadi sebuah produk yang memiliki nilai tambah yang tinggi bagi jagung itu sendiri, salah satunya yaitu dijadikan olahan marning jagung yang mempunyai cita rasa yang khas. Marning jagung yang diproduksi oleh UD Ajum Pertama ini berada di Desa Kalianget Timur, usaha marning jagung ini dirintis sejak tahun 90an yang kemudian dikembangkan menjadi salah satu home industri marning jagung yang cukup disenangi oleh masyarakat sumenep.
Suksesnya sebuah home industri memang tidak akan luput dari permasalahan– permasalahan yang ada, sehingga permasalahan ini mengakibatkan terhambatnya proses kegiatan produksi. Permasalahan yang dialami oleh UD Ajum Pertama diantaranya yaitu kurangnya memahami tentang persaingan pemasaran pada produk marning jagung. Sehingga peluang untuk memasuki dunia pemasaran yang luas sangatlah minim.
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah (1) Untuk mengetahui Marketing Mix (Product, Price, Place, Promotion) pada marning jagung UD Ajum Pertama. (2) Untuk mengetahui saluran pemasaran atau distribusi yang paling efisien pada marning jagung UD Ajum Pertama. Penentuan daerah penelitian dilakukan secara sengaja di Desa Kalianget Timur Kecamatan Kalianget pada home industri marning jagung UD Ajum Pertama.

The improbability of continuing the traditional classroom during the pandemic Covid-19 caused an Unavoidable condition where blended learning was the most proper solution to conduct the learning process. This study intends to investigate how students view blended learning, particularly in English classrooms. The research's population is the eighth-grade students of MTS Fadhilah Pekanbaru with 93 students involved as the research samples. The instrument used to gain the data is a questionnaire consisting of 35 items divided into four aspects (behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and economic). The data were scored using a Likert scale with four options; Strongly Agree (SA), Agree (A), Disagree (D), and Strongly Disagree (SD). The findings showed that the students’ perception on blended learning was high level with an average score of 107.46. Owing to this, it can be determined that the students had positive perceptions when learning English through a blended learning method. They showed positive behaviors during blended learning where they always came to the lessons and submitted their assignments on time. Also, they believed blended learning allowed them to explore their potential and be more creative in the learning process.

Improving education in the 4.0 era needs to be adjusted to the teaching and learning in higher education. Thus, it is necessary to have a learning strategy that prioritizes student independence in learning by using facilities in the digital era such as the internet. Therefore, SOLE can be one of the strategies that are in accordance with this 4.0 education. The purpose of this study was to find out the effectiveness of SOLE for apprentices in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. In this study, we used quasi-experimental studies conducted through pre-test and post-test on study subjects as primary data for the study. The analysis showed a significant difference between students taught using SOLE and conventional methods in English proficiency. The Wilcoxon test results prove that the two-sided asymptotic significance of the Wilcoxon test is 0.000 for experimental class, and 0.000 for control class which the Asymptotic significance 2-tailed below Alpha (0.05). It means that SOLE can be more effective than lecturing.

Kecemburuan umumnya dialami sebagian besar pasangan yang menjalin hubungan romantis. Kecemburuan dapat berfungsi sebagai sarana untuk mempertahankan cinta dan hubungan, beberapa orang mungkin juga menganggap kecemburuan sebagai ancaman bagi hubungan mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah ada hubungan antara kecemburuan romantis dengan kepuasan hubungan pada emerging adult yang sedang menjalani hubungan berpacaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan bersifat korelasional. Responden penelitian ini berjumlah 150 emerging adult usia 18-25 tahun yang berpacaran. Instrumen penelitian ini adalah Multidimensional Jealousy Scale (MJS) oleh Pfeiffer & Wong (1989) untuk mengukur kecemburuan romantis dan Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) oleh S.S. Hendrick (1988) untuk mengukur kepuasan hubungan romantis. Melalui teknik statistik Spearman correlation, ditemukan terdapat hubungan antara kecemburuan dengan kepuasan hubungan pada emerging adult yang berpacaran (r = -.338 p < .01), ditinjau dari dimensi kecemburuan romantis yaitu kognitif (r = -.363, p < .01) serta perilaku (r = -.258, p < .01) yang juga berkorelasi dengan kepuasan hubungan. Semakin tinggi kecemburuan emerging adult, semakin rendah kepuasan terhadap hubungan yang dijalaninya. Sedangkan dimensi emosi ditemukan tidak ada korelasi dengan kepuasan hubungan (r = .000, p > .01). Hasil temuan lain terkait dimensi kecemburuan serta kepuasan hubungan turut dibahas dalam penelitian ini.

Mycotoxins are harmful auxiliary metabolites delivered by species of filamentous organisms developing on grains some time recently collect and in capacity. The study was planned to evaluate the protective role of lycopene (LYC) against Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) induces oxidative stress, hepatic toxicity, and apoptosis in Japanese quail. Sixty Japanese quail chicks (three-week-old) were randomly allocated into four groups; Negative control group; Aflatoxin -B1 (AFB1) group (1 mg/kg feed) as positive control; lycopene supplemented group (200 mg/kg feed) and AFB1 (1 mg/kg feed) with lycopene supplemented group (200 mg/kg). The growth performance parameters, serum biochemical indices, and liver antioxidant activities as well as histopathological studies, and immunohistochemical pictures were performed. The results showed a significant increase on growth performance and a significant decrease on feed conversion ratio (FCR) in aflatoxin inclusion with lycopene supplemented group. Moreover, the liver enzymes (ALT, AST, and ALP) were significantly (P < 0.05) decreased. In addition, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels significantly decreased, while superoxide dismutase (SOD), Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT) activities increased in liver tissues. Furthermore, when compared to the aflatoxin-inclusion with the lycopene supplemented group had improved liver tissue and lower levels of cytokine production (IL-6 and TNF-). In conclusion, these findings implied that dietary administration of lycopene has significantly alleviated AFB1-triggered oxidative stress, inflammatory response and liver apoptosis in Japanese quail.

This study was conducted to evaluate and to compare the clinical, hemato-biochemical and endoscopic aspects of gastropathy in dogs treated with meloxicam alone or incombination with esomeprazole and misoprostol. Twenty baladi healthy dogs were included in the experimental study. Dogs were divided into four groups each group consisting of five animals; Group I (control group), the group that does not receive any medication. Meloxicam treated groups divided into: Group II which received meloxicam at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg BWT per OS /24 hr. Group III animals received the same previous dose of meloxicam and esomeprazole at a dose of 1mg/kg BWT per OS /24 hr. Group IV animals received the same dose of meloxicam and misoprostol 3μg /kg BWT per OS tid. Upon drug administration, dogs were kept under observation for 14 consecutive days. Clinical and hemato-biochemical analysis were evaluated across time (T0, T3, T7, T10 and T14). The image analysis of the gastroscopic examination was evaluated across time (T0, T7 and T14), endoscopic examinations were applied to all animals in four groups at three time points (T0, T7, and T14), endoscopic lesions were scored by use of a 5-point scale. Clinically, the most common clinical sings in dogs with Meloxicam induced- gastropathy were inappetence to anorexia, hematemesis, melena, abdominal pain and weakness, the specific endoscopic lesions of gastropathy were gastric erosion, hemorrhage and ulcers. Serum gastrin concentration is a biochemically sensitive indicator of gastropathy. The overall results concluded that meloxicam-induced gastropathy was more severe in group II compared to groups III and group IV. The proton pump inhibitor (esomeprazole) was more effective and better tolerated than misoprostol.

This study was conducted to compare the effects of dietary eubiotics or intravenous amino acid infusions (IVAAI) as two different growth promoters on nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation, performance, and blood biochemical parameters of buffalo calves in subtropical climatic conditions. Thirty male buffalo calves (284.40 ± 18.45 kg) were randomly distributed into three groups and fed a basal diet (BD) of concentrate feed mixture and roughages. The first group was fed BD and considered as the control, the second group was fed the BD supplemented with eubiotics at 1.0 kg/ton of concentrate, whereas the third group was intravenously infused with amino acid (IVAAI) injection at a dose of 2.0 ml/100 kg body weight. Results showed that the total gain and the average daily gain were improved (P < 0.05) with dietary eubiotics. The digestibility of some nutrients was increased (P < 0.05) with dietary addition of eubiotics. In addition, eubiotics stabilize (P < 0.05) the rumen pH, which reduce the risk of subacute ruminal acidosis but increased (P < 0.05) ruminal NH3-N and total volatile fatty acids. The rectal temperature was decreased (P < 0.05) with eubiotics supplementation. In conclusion, the use of eubiotics induced superior positive effects on the digestibility of nutrients, rumen fermentation, rumen enzymes, rumen protein concentration, growth performance, feed conversion, blood parameters and ameliorated the harmful effects of thermal stress of buffalo calves in comparison with intravenous infusion of amino acids.

Regarding high morbidity, mortality, and production losses, fungi infections have their importance among infectious illnesses and seem to be one of the main challenges facing poultry producers. This study aims to identify the genotypic characteristics of some fungi isolated from poultry. To reach this end, in El-Gharbia Governorate, Egypt, a total of 210 birds with a history of respiratory distress were randomly selected from a variety of private farms and hatcheries. The birds were sacrificed; tissue pieces were collected. In addition, a total of 87 samples of the poultry surroundings including 40 samples of poultry ration, 14 bedding materials, 4 air samples, and 29 water samples were collected. Using traditional fungal isolation, four fungal species were recovered, namely, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Cladosporium perangustum, and Penicillium chrysogenum. PCR was performed by fungus-specific universal primer pairs (ITS1 and ITS4) to identify and describe the genotype of isolated fungi. All examined isolates' ITS1-5.8SrDNA regions could be amplified. A purified PCR product was sequenced according to the Emerald Amp GT PCR master mix. This was initially performed to establish sequence identity to GenBank accession numbers. The rRNA gene for 5.8 sRNA divides the two ITS sections, which are situated between the 18S and 28S rRNA genes. ITS-1 gene sequence of the isolated Cladosporium perangustum (GeneBank accession number was OM 407392). The Sequence of the ITS-1 of isolated Penicillium chrysogenum (GeneBank accession numbers for studied nucleotide sequences were OM407401; OM407402; OM403685, and OM403686). For the examined nucleotide sequences, the GeneBank accession number for the ITS-1 internal transcribed spacer region of single Aspergillus niger was OM407391. GeneBank accession numbers for the isolated Aspergillus flavus ITS-1 sequence examined nucleotide sequences were OM403676, OM403677, and OM403678. In conclusion, genotypic characterization confirmed the phenotypic traditional fungal identification in the present study. Aspergillus species are the major fungi associated with birds in Egypt farms. The predominantly identified species were Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium chrysogenum.

Bluetongue (BT) is a non-contagious virus in the Reoviridae family that infects both wild and domestic animals. It causes economic losses and reduces infected animals' production and reproduction. A total of 233 apparently healthy animals were screened for BT. Profiles of health condition of animals were identified using multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and the impact of the change in disease condition of animals was explored by examining the subjective evaluation of the impact of risk factors like (age, sex, season, species, and locality) with regard to BT disease providing an insight into a dataset through information visualization and it presents a useful application for visualizing associations amongst variable categories. The first two MCA dimensions retained up to 27% of the total inertia contained in the data. The positive BT results, summer, and old animals categories were loaded in the first dimension, while negative cases, Al-mounfia and winter categories were related to the second dimension. HCA identified three clusters. Cluster 1 was characterized by frequent and largely exclusive seronegative BT animals 91.67 % of animals in the cluster were seronegative, negative BTV category is the most important and related to cluster 1 with positive v-test=8.75. Cluster 3 can named a cluster of seropositive BT, up to 88% of cases were seropositive. We can conclude that seropositive BT is associated with summer and old age categories, whereas seronegative BT is associated with young age and winter categories, and thus MCA and HCA provide convenient and easy-to-interpret analytical tools for assessing categorical data relationships.

This work investigated the prevalence of bovine mastitis in a dairy farm, Ismalia governrate, Egypt with phynotypic and genotypic clarification of the causative bacteria and their antimicrobial susceptibility. Also a treatment trial with a combination of Cafalexin, Kanamycin was evaluated. The total prevalence of mastitis was 31.82% (119/374) at cow level and 17.01% (247/1452) at quarter level. 261 isolates were detected. (74.33%) belong to staphylococcus spp and (25.67%) to streptococcus spp. as major microorganisms (CNS (42.53%) s.aurus (31.80%) s. uberis (12.26%), s. agalactia (8.81%) and s. dysagalactia(4.59%). The isolates were tested against 15 antimicrobial agents and the highest percentage of resistant bacteria was for AMC, P, C and E. while the lowest rate was for CN, CIP, CL and K. Molecular Characterization of isolated pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes was performed by PCR on 15 isolates. blaTEM-1 Was the most frequently detected gen followed by aadA1, dfrA1, cmlA, sul1, and tetA. 110 infected udder quarters were enrolled for 21 days to evaluate the treatment with Terrexine LC intramammary suspension 10g on six occasions at 12 h intervals and gentamycin intramuscular injection (1cm/20kg Bw for 3-5 days in cows with systemic reaction. A high significant reduction was recorded for the log10 SSC, log10 TBC and the level of LDH in milk after treatment compared their level before treatment (P-value <0.0001***). The milk season for cows, degree of mastitis or type of microorganism isolated before treatment have no effect on the recovery rate P-value ˃0.05. In conclusion, the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains is greatly increased so antibiotic usage must be Restricted. PCR can help in the rapid detection of the resistant strains. Treatment of mastitis with combination of antimicrobial may reduce drug resistance. Bovine mastitis still needs updated knowledge on the causative microbes and their antibiotic resistance patterns for optimal control and treatment.
EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDY OF HUMAN BRUCELLOSIS IN THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA; PRE- AND DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Alsayeqh Abdullah F. 
Published: February 2023

Brucellosis is one of the most reported zoonotic diseases that affects human health with subsequent economic losses. Brucellosis is an endemic disease in countries in many regions such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) in the Middle East. On 30 Jan 2020, the Director-General of the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus outbreak (later named COVID-19) a public health emergency of international concern. In KSA, on 2 March 2020, the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed. To contain the disease outbreak, partial and full suspension of public activities/curfew started in March and April. In this study, characterization of brucellosis in KSA from 2013-2019 (pre-pandemic), the year 2020 (pandemic control interventions’” year), and the year 2021is presented. Incidence data were obtained from the Ministry of Health’s (MoH) records for laboratory-confirmed cases. Extracted incidence data were analysed according to the nationality of the patients (Saudi and non-Saudi), gender (male and female), age, health regions (20 throughout KSA), and months. From 2013-2019, there were 28073 (mean; 4010) cases of human brucellosis reported. In 2020 and 2021, there were 2372 and 2400 cases of brucellosis reported, respectively. The decrease in 2021, which continued after easing PCI restrictions, is worth noting. This represents a decrease of 59.15% of reported cases compared to incidence means for the period 2013-2019. Compared to other studies, misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, patients not seeking medical examination, and dedicating much of the health sector for COVID-19 patients are likely reasons for brucellosis reporting reduction. However, and due to lack of additional necessary data, it is not possible currently to conclude that PCI have (or have not) influenced reducing brucellosis in KSA. Additionally, and in comparison, to reported regional and global incidence rates of the disease, reported rates from 2013-2019 in KSA are likely to be underreported.

Lassa fever is a disease endemic in West Africa caused by the Lassa virus (LASV). The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has put an extra burden on Nigeria in the fight against infectious disease outbreaks. Lassa fever cases peak seasonally in the first three months of the year. Despite the reduction in the epidemiological trends in 2021, the current trends of the Lassa fever cases in Nigeria in 2022 indicate that the virus is still being actively transmitted in the country with some large states regarded as high burden areas. There are requirements to increase in vaccine uptake for COVID-19, to strengthen the testing capacities for LASV, and develop licensed LASV vaccine, in order to eradicate these viral diseases of concern. This study aims to identify the current trends of Lassa fever in Nigeria, measures and challenges and suggest strategies for curtailing the spread.
