Published: July 2023

Abstract. This study aims to determine how much influence competency and career development have on employee performance at the Secretariat General of PPKL. The population in this study were 68 people, with a sample of 58 employees. The sampling technique is stratified random sampling. The data were obtained by distributing questionnaires and data analysis using multiple linear regression analysis. Where it is concluded that competence has a significant influence on employee performance, while career development has less significant influence on employee performance. Together competence and career development have a significant influence on employee performance. This can be seen from the value of standardized coefficients of competence of 0.468. This is because competence is an individual internal factor that can be controlled by the individual himself. The research results also show that employee performance is influenced by 23.4% by competency and career development together. While the remaining 76.6% is the influence of other factors not included in this study.

Ethical Concerns for the Globaltechnological Societies: Some Observations
Authors: Verma Jyoti 
Published: July 2023

Some ethical concerns are addressed that seem to have been omitted as the
technologically advanced global world goes about its regular business. The following
issues have been touched on: ‘Bypassing the conscious behavior choices and the
dangers of compulsive use of digital technology,’ ‘the morally insensitive world of
technology-backed marketing and advertisement,’ ‘some ethical matters for the
digitally connected global village and globalization-influenced atmosphere,” and
‘the moral concerns of the economic growth of emerging economies in a technologyloaded
world.’ It occurs that the addressed topics have a pattern. For instance,
compulsive indulgence and proclivity for addiction to technology get pronounced as
mindful or conscious engagement with digital gadgets and the internet are
progressively trivialized. Additionally, technology-savvy globalized societies have
the tendency to subscribe to hedonistic leanings, giving significant importance to
personal space and the freedom to decide one’s lifestyle and time utilization. The
danger dawns when technology becomes detrimental for behavior, interaction,
relationships, and business, and the user starts experiencing the adverse impact of
imprudent use of technology on his or her physical and psychological wellbeing and
social world. Similarly, the matter becomes of concern when the commercial world
decides to disregard the righteous goal of income generation (i.e., purusharth),
conceptualized as inseparable from the concepts of dharma, or duty, and social
responsibility. Lastly, when the values and normative standards of the technologically
advanced affluent countries are adopted senselessly by the emerging economies rich
in cultural wisdom and indigenous traditions, it is time for contemplation.
TECHNIQUES OF PROTECTING CROPS FROM INSECT PESTS IN INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT – INTERCROPPING AND TRAP CROPPING
Authors: LALA ARBUD 
Published: July 2023

Intercropping and trap cropping are two cornerstone practices adopted under cultural control in preventive integrated pest management. The added crop diversity by implementing these techniques in the field level helps in supporting ecological engineering process to suppress pest population in a greener way. The main target of these methods is the deterrence of colonization to control insect pests through intra field diversity. However, complete knowledge about the crop and pest relationship, ecology, ways and effects of habitat manipulation should be known by analyzing the agroecosystem to get an absolute advantage prior of implementation. Thus, ongoing researches on the choice of suitability of proper crops aim in utilizing this integrated knowledge to produce a cost-effective system and lowering the pest population both together to make it a lucrative model qualitatively and quantitatively. To be specific, this paper aims to give a thorough discussion about these two techniques up to the field implementation level and the challenging regions like higher weather dependency, less effectiveness as a sole control technique etc. are also discussed to get an idea about where we need to improve to make these working with higher efficiency.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: The most of studies have focused on the effects of different types of stressors on the health of the mother as well as on her offspring. But no study has investigated the emotional stress applied before gestation, and its effects on the HPG axis of offspring. Our experiment aims to elucidate the effects and the transmission of stress, experienced before pregnancy from mother to offspring and to see whether this stress persists into adulthood or not.
Materials and Methods: Chronic restraint stress (emotional stress), it was applied an hour's time each day, for four days a week, over a period of five weeks before gestation. Female rats were placed in perforated plastic cylinders. Our study was carried out on the offspring (males and females) at the age of 65 days, and then was decapitated, the blood was collected and the gonads were weighed.
Results: Steroid hormones and gonads: Female offspring; results show a highly significant increase of progesterone compared to controls offspring at the adulthood, on the other hand, a significant decrease of the relative weight of ovaries.
Male offspring; a highly significant decrease in the concentration of testosterone, and a highly significant decrease of the relative weight of testicles.
Glycemia: showed a very highly significant increase in the stressed offspring males and females compared to the control’s offspring.
Conclusion: The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal HPA axis of stressed mothers was disrupted, leading to disruption of the Hypothalamic-pituitary- gonadal HPG axis of the offspring.
RETRACTED: SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF MITOCHONDRIAL CYTOCHROME C OXIDASE I GENE IN CATFISHES: AN INSIGHT INTO BARCODING AND PHYLOGENY

Published: July 2023

The standard methodology of DNA barcoding consists of clustering a taxonomic group using the Neighbour-joining (NJ) clustering method, which utilizes the divergence gap between species as a yardstick of species differentiation. With this approach, the present study is framed to decipher the divergence trend in catfish species - Clarias batrachus, C. gariepinus, Heteropneustes fossilis, Sperata seenghala, Wallago attu and Rita rita. The partial segment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I subunit gene was used as the molecular marker of investigation. The intraspecific and interspecific divergence values were compared where a considerable gap was found between them. The average intraspecific divergence was found to be < 1%, while the average interspecific divergence found in the range of 16-24% which encompasses the divergence even at the family level. The NJ clustering has differentiated these species and has also shown phylogenetic insights as well. The species relatedness which appeared in NJ clustering was then reconfirmed using the Maximum likelihood (ML) approach with bootstrap support to trace their phylogenetic relationship. Interestingly, both NJ and ML clustering were found parallel, which assured the presence of phylogenetic signals in NJ tree too. Our study has successfully shown the role of intraspecific and interspecific divergence in species differentiation in catfishes, and simultaneously highlights the appearance of phylogenetic relationships in the NJ tree. A more comprehensive way of sampling is also discussed that could assist in looking deep into the divergence role to differentiate higher taxonomic levels.

IMPROVEMENT OF WATER QUALITY AND BREEDING OF SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH (BETTA SPLENDENS REGAN) USING INDIAN ALMOND (TERMINALIA CATAPPA) LEAVES
Authors: GALLANO RANDY M. , JR. MIGUEL D. VISCA 
Published: July 2023

The Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens Regan) is considered as one of the most famous aquarium fishes in the world. Despite the dozens of popular articles and increasing scientific investigations on this exciting species, accounts dealing with reproductive behavior are noticeably lacking in quantitative description and are sometimes contradictory. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Indian Almond (Terminalia catappa) leaves in the water quality parametersand breeding of B. splendens. A completely randomized design was usedin the study having four treatments with three replications. There were 12 experimental units with these notations in each Treatment: T1 (no leaf), T2 (1 leaf), T3 (2 leaves), and T4 (4 leaves) per aquarium with a dimension of 12 x 12 x 10 inches at 12L water volume and stocked with 24breeders (male & female), respectively. The result showed that the water quality parameters were found within the optimum range in all Treatments. The water pH and dissolved oxygen in T4 obtained the best result compared to other Treatments and had a highly significant difference (P<.001) observed. Furthermore, T4 positively promoted breeders to spawn at a hatching rate (HR) of 0.45%, then T3 with 0.07%. In addition, T3 and T4 obtained 100% survival rate (SR)while T2 and T1 with 83.33% and 66.67% SR. The HR and SR of B. splendens showed no significant differencein all treatments. Moreover, the application of Indian Almond (T. catappa) leaves can improve water quality, encourage breeding, promote spawning, survival, and hatching of Siamese fighting fish.

Cucurbita maxima and Cucurbita pepo are two popular species of pumpkin being consumed in India. The C. maxima seed is reported to have medicinal and pharmacological value such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-microbial activity. Nutritional composition of pulp, peel and seed of two species of pumpkin C. maxima and C. pepo were analysed. Carbohydrate (20.670.48%), protein (21.220.50%), fat (23.580.72%), fibre (52.380.61%), and energy content (311.550.56 Kcal/100g) were all present in large amounts in the C. maxima seed when compared to the seed of C. pepo species, the seed contains carbohydrate (02.620.01%), protein (20.480.61%), fat (17.850.55%), fibre (46.650.84%), and energy (229.580.75 Kcal/100g), respectively. The peel, pulp and seed of C. maxima had high total sugar and reducing sugar content. Vitamin C was found in the seed and pulp of C. maxima whereas in case of C. pepo it was present only in the pulp. The pulp and peel of C. maxima had significant amount of minerals such as Ca, Fe, Mn, Na, K, Cu, while Zn, Mg, K and P were found in the seed of C. maxima compared to C. pepo. The seed of C. maxima was higher in unsaturated fatty acid while saturated fatty acids were abundant in the seed of C. pepo seed. Essential amino acid profile of C. maxima was higher than C. pepo. Nutritional profile of C. maxima was found to be superior as compared to C. pepo.
NEUROSECRETION IN OLIGOCHAETES - A LESS STUDIED SUBJECT IN INVERTEBRATE RESEARCH
Authors: CHAUDHURI PRIYASANKAR 
Published: July 2023

The concept of neurosecretion was first developed by Ernst Scharrer (1905-1965) and Berta Scharrer (1906-1995) between 1928 and 1937. The neurosecretory cells are neuronal in structure and glandular in function. Typically, the neurosecretory cells are “tear drop” in appearance with a long axon. The neurosecretory products (neurosecretion/neurohormone) are proteinaeous in nature which is consistent with the ultrastructure of the cells
In earthworm species, irrespective of their ecological categories, the neurosecretory cells in their distribution, structure and functions in the central nervous system are more or less similar in different species of earthworms. The central nervous system in tropical earthworms reveals mainly two types of neurosecretory cells: A type (outer cortical tier of deeply stained AF positive cells with distinct axonal processes) and B type (light stained cells lying in between A type cells and central fibrous neuropile). In addition to A and B cells, an “islet” of neurosecretory cells called S cells or Hubl cells are present at the base of circum esophageal connectives of subesophageal ganglia. Both A and B cells discharge their secretion (neurohormone) at the margin of highly vascularised fibrous neuropile called “zone of accumulation” which may be considered as “elementary neuro-haemal organ”. Neurosecretion in Oligochaetes has great role in food intake, osmoregulation, thermal acclimation, regeneration, copulation and cocoon production.

Published: July 2023

The Aim: The study included assessment of biochemical parameters such as levels of vitamin D3, reduced and oxidized glutathione, malondialdehyde and lipid peroxide.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out in the animal house of the Faculty of Education for Girls / University of Kufa, from 1/10/2021 to 1/12/2021.
Study Design: as twenty-eight male albino rats of the Sprague Dawley strain were followed at the age of three months to evaluate the protective efficiency of the alcoholic extract of the Brassica oleracea flowers against paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity.
Methodology: Rats' weights were between 216-246, divided into 4 groups in each group, 7 rats. The first group was dosed orally with tap water, which is the control group, and the second group was treated with paracetamol at a concentration of 2000 mg / kg orally, the third group was administrated with the alcoholic extract of Brassica oleracea flowers at a concentration of 500 mg/kg + paracetamol at a concentration of 2000 mg / kg orally as well, and with regard to the last group, only the alcoholic extract was given, where the dosing process lasted for 60 days ,once a day.
Results : The study included assessment of biochemical parameters such as levels of vitamin D3, reduced and oxidized glutathione, malondialdehyde and lipid peroxide. The results of the statistical analysis recorded a significant (P<0.05) decrement in the levels of vitamin D3, reduced and oxidized glutathione, in contrast, a notable (P<0.05) increase in the levels of malondialdehyde and lipid peroxide in the group that was submitted to paracetamol when compared with the control group and the rest of the experimental groups. As for the group that was subjected to the extract only, it showed a significant (P<0.05) increment in the levels of vitamin D3, reduced and oxidized glutathione, and conversely a remarkable decrease (P<0.05) in the levels of malondialdehyde and lipid peroxide compared with the control group.
Conclusion: The conclusion is that the alcoholic extract of Brassica oleracea flowers has shown a preventive activity against the pathological effects of paracetamol, possibly due to its chemical antioxidant contents.

Published: July 2023

Insect pollinators play a vital role in the ecosystem. Pollinators visit different wild plants and crops for their feed. Recently the pollinators are under great threat and their reduction in population may lead to profound economic and environmental consequences. Here, we strongly insist that various anthropogenic activities – degradation of forest, pesticide and insecticide use, climate change. To try and understand the link between pesticide use on pollinator communities, and how this might impact on their population reduction or loss, we took a complementary approach of survey by preparing a questionnaire with 20 basic questions. The survey was taken in and around Coimbatore and Tirupur district to collect the information like the usage of nature of pesticides and insecticides. At times the synthetic pesticides may be directly or indirectly affecting the insects based on the nature of the chemicals. The outcome of the survey was about how the usage of certain insecticide affects the pollinators life cycle directly or indirectly. The pollinating insects were not targeted directly but as non- target species they are affected a lot. It is need of the hour to concentrate and conserve the pollinators as per the thought of the great scientist Albert Einstein: “If the bee disappears from the surface of the Earth, man would have no more than four years left to live.”
La Relación Médico Paciente y Algunos Aspectos Transculturales de Salud y Enfermedad
Authors: VARELA G. MARIO 
Published: July 2023

La orientación científica de la medicina ha sido determinante en el progreso que ha alcanzado, pero la consideración de la persona, la unificación del sujeto en el objeto, es fundamental en la clínica, en el acto médico. Necesitamos una antro­pología médica en la que lo principal es la relación entre ambas, enfermedad y enfermo, que puedan distinguirse, compararse y ser posible, que cada una de las dos funciones relacionadas se unifiquen en un punto medio.
El entendimiento entre paciente y médico pueden verse perturbado por malen­tendidos del lenguaje y del bagaje cultural, así como exigimos al paciente que notifique con claridad sobre su enfermedad, el médico quien tiene la mayor res­ponsabilidad en la relación con el enfermo debe preocuparse, a su vez, de notifi­car claramente al paciente de su acontecer, de su diagnóstico y de su pronóstico. Así lo destaca Victor von Weizsacker que expresa claramente la orientación que significa la Antropología Médica, “El hombre es un objeto que contiene un sujeto, y este no está por fuera de los dominios de la ciencia, sino que pertenece a la misma”.
