Published: March 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
Coagulation tests are an essential tool in the diagnosis and management of coagulopathies in mammals. The aim of the current study was to establish reference intervals for prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial PT (aPTT) in healthy ferrets using 2 different point-of-care analyzers (Idexx Coag DX and MS QuickVet Coag Combo).

ANIMALS
86 clinically healthy ferrets under 3 years of age (47 females and 39 males) from 4 breeders and 2 private practices.

PROCEDURES
Blood samples were collected from the cranial vena cava in all ferrets without anesthesia and placed in trisodium 3.2% citrated plastic tubes. Sixty-six blood samples from the 4 ferret breeding farms and 1 private practice were analyzed using the Idexx Coag DX and 21 from the other private practice using the MS QuickVet Coag Combo.

RESULTS
Reference intervals for the Idexx Coag DX were as follows: aPTT (n = 65), 69.84 to 105.99 seconds; PT (65), 14.44 to 21.98 seconds. Reference intervals for the MS QuickVet Coag Combo were as follows: aPTT (n = 21), 74.90 to 115.50 seconds; PT (21), 18.31 to 23.05 seconds. With both types of analyzers, there was no significant age effect on aPTT and PT.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
This study provided coagulation times for 2 point-of-care analyzers in healthy ferrets as a tool for the diagnosis of coagulopathies.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To provide epidemiological information on the occurrence of animal and human rabies in the US during 2021 and summaries of 2021 rabies surveillance for Canada and Mexico.

PROCEDURES
State and territorial public health departments and USDA Wildlife Services provided data on animals submitted for rabies testing in 2021. Data were analyzed temporally and geographically to assess trends in domestic animal and wildlife rabies cases.

RESULTS
During 2021, 54 US jurisdictions reported 3,663 rabid animals, representing an 18.2% decrease from the 4,479 cases reported in 2020. Texas (n = 456 [12.4%]), Virginia (297 [8.1%]), Pennsylvania (287 [7.8%]), North Carolina (248 [6.8%]), New York (237 [6.5%]), California (220 [6.0%]), and New Jersey (201 [5.5%]) together accounted for > 50% of all animal rabies cases reported in 2021. Of the total reported rabid animals, 3,352 (91.5%) involved wildlife, with bats (n = 1,241 [33.9%]), raccoons (1,030 [28.1%]), skunks (691 [18.9%]), and foxes (314 [8.6%]) representing the primary hosts confirmed with rabies. Rabid cats (216 [5.9%]), cattle (40 [1.1%]), and dogs (36 [1.0%]) accounted for 94% of rabies cases involving domestic animals in 2021. Five human rabies deaths were reported in 2021.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
The number of animal rabies cases reported in the US decreased significantly during 2021; this is thought to be due to factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Chitosan, a biodegradable and nontoxic biopolymer, has applications in a wide range of fields. This study aimed to produce and characterize chitosan from three mushroom species obtained from Edo State, Nigeria. Standard protocols were used to extract and characterize chitosan. Chitosan yield from all three samples differed significantly (p<0.05) with the highest chitosan yield (19.00±0.03 %) from Lenzites betulina. There was no significant difference in the degree of deacetylation of T. versicolor and L. betulina extracted chitosan (82.71 and 83.54 % respectively). Chitosan from Lenzites betulina had significantly higher solubility (79 %), viscosity (1.04 x 10−1 centipoise) and molecular weight (4.70 x 104 Da) than those from the others. The bands of the spectra indicate the presence of NH2, OH, C-O, CH, C-N functional groups. It was observed that the particle distribution was non-homogenous, irregular with the presence of pore for all spectra. The characteristics of chitosan obtained indicate that mushrooms from this locality could serve as an alternate source of chitosan to crustaceans with Lenzites betulina possessing the most promising features.
Association of ResearchGate research influence score with other metrics of top cited sports biomechanics scholars
Authors: Knudson Duane 
Published: March 2023

Abstract

Study aim: Scientific networking sites are increasingly popular in connecting researchers and providing influence metrics, however the research on measures like the ResearchGate Research Influence Score (RG RIS) are limited. This study documented the associations between RG RIS, usage, and prestige metrics from Google Scholar (GS), RG, and Scopus for top cited scientists in sports biomechanics.

Material and methods: Research usage (total citations: C), prestige (Hirsch index: h), and RG RIS metrics were extracted from GS, RG, and Scopus for the top sixty cited scholars that used either the label “’73ports biomechanics” or “sport biomechanics” in their GS Profile.

Results: RG RIS was strongly correlated (r = 0.796–0.895) with all usage and prestige metrics. There were very strong correlations among the three citation metrics (r = 0.929–0.967) and among the three h indexes (r = 0.960–0.974).

Conclusions: The recent RG RIS does not provide unique scientific influence information about sport(s) biomechanics researchers beyond common citation metrics. The RG RIS was strongly associated with total citation and h-index values from GS, RG, and Scopus for top 60 cited sport(s) biomechanics researchers based on GS Profiles. The scientific usage and prestige factors previously reported in bibliometric research was supported by very strong associations among the three C and among the three h index values from these two scientific networking and one database service.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Accurate reorganization of harvested species is essential for appropriate fisheries monitoring but often unnoticed. In this study, an attempt was made to provide an accurate species description based on fish taxonomy and otolith shape parameters of nine sea catfishes living in Pakistan. The lapillus, the largest otolith of catfishes, includes the position of the umbo, the structure of the anterior mesial projection (amp), the incisura linea basalis (ilb) and sulcus lapilli marks (slm) in nine ariid catfishes were evaluated. Discriminant function analysis was performed using twenty-two morphometric parameters showed significant variations between the length of the maxillary barbel, adipose length and preorbital length, which were highlighted as basic discriminating characters. Species without barbells, such as Batrachocephalus mino and Osteogeneiosus militaris, were found to be distant. The taxonomic characters of the genera Netuma and Plicofollis overlapped due to a short adipose fin length. Nevertheless, species Arius arius, Sciades sona and Nemapterxy caelatus differed in a moderate adipose fin length. The preorbital length of Netuma bilineata has a short and rounded snout, while N. thalassina has a long and pointed snout, which is a distinguishing characteristic of both species. The coincident use of fish taxonomy and otolith shape parameters is an effective tool for catfish identification could be helpful in appropriate fisheries sampling programs and management in Pakistan whenever implemented.
Decline of Artisanal Fisheries in the Croatian Section of the Sava River
Authors: Treer Tomislav 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The aim of this research is to analyse the trends of the total artisanal fish catch in the Croatian section of the Sava River. All 17 years of the study (2004-2020) showed a negative trend that became highly statistically significant (p<0.01) in the last eight years. In addition to the total catch, the catch per unit effort (CPUE) also decreased significantly (p<0.05) throughout the study. The reasons for these negative trends are discussed, including a possible decline in artisanal interest, higher fishing pressure from anglers from the Croatian side and both groups of fishermen from the river bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as negative influence of the polluted waters of the large Bosnian river Bosna, which prior to flowing into the lower section of the Sava River, passes through urban and industrial cities. It is suggested to activate the old idea of a common fisheries management body that would include both groups of fishermen (anglers and artisanal fishermen), government representatives and scientists from both countries.

Abstract

Background: The esthetic proportion gauge developed by Chu is using a 78% recurring esthetic dental (RED) proportion and it is based on evaluating the size and proportion of frontal teeth chairside.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the validity of Chu’s device and to measure the correlation between the width and length of the frontal teeth, attempting to identify the application of the proportion gauge in Mureș county.

Materials and methods: From the 142 selected patients, 73 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The height and width values of the participants’ teeth were measured with a digital caliper and evaluated with Chu’s esthetic proportion gauge. The measurements were then compared statistically.

Results: The values obtained from the digital caliper measurements did not correlate with Chu’s proportion scale, and the results showed no significant differences between the two sides (p >0.05).

Conclusions: In conclusion, the measured teeth ratios did not show a similarity with the predetermined esthetic proportion scale suggested by Chu.

Abstract
The land use and land cover (LULC) characteristics of Ghaziabad have experienced dynamic changes because of the city’s ongoing industrialization and urbanisation processes. These shifts can be directly attributed to human actions. These shifts can be directly attributed to human actions. Thermal variation in the study area necessitates LULC analysis. Landsat and Sentinel satellite data for 2011 and 2021 were used to map LULC, estimate land surface temperature (LST) and analysis spatial autocorrelation among the variables using ArcGIS software and the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud platform. A sharp descent is observed in the cropland while built-up area has increased during the study period. With the increase in the built-up surface in the area, the ambient temperatures have also increased from 18.70 °C in 2011 to 21.81 °C in 2021 leading to urban heat island effect. At all spatial scales, spatial autocorrelation is a characteristic property of most ecological parameters. The spatial clustering of LST in an ecosystem can play a crucial role in determining the dynamics of LULC.The Moran’s, I show that there is a considerable level of spatial autocorrelation in the values of LST and highly clustered pattern for both the years. Monitoring and understanding the surface thermal environment is crucial to discerning the causes of climate change.

How farmers are willing to pay bio-activators needs to bestudied. The purposes of this study are to analyze theknowledge and use of bio-activators, as well as thewillingness to pay for bio-activators in rice farming. Theresearch was conducted in Malang Regency, with a sampleof 82 farmers from Ngajum and Gondanglegi Districts. Datawere analyzed by descriptive and multiple linear regression.The results showed that the farmers are aware of one tofour brands of bio-activators, and three of the brands areused by the rice farmers. The benefits of using bioactivators
that are mostly perceived by rice farmers arefertilizing the soil and plants, thereby increasing theproduction of rice farming. Willingness to pay for bioactivators
is based on the prevailing market price, there isno willingness to pay a premium price. Factors that have apositive effect on willingness to pay are land area andbenefits of bio-activators. The wider the agricultural landowned by the farmer and the greater the perceived benefits,the greater the value of willingness to pay will be.

Published: March 2023

Political parties are the political suprastructure in a democratic country as a means for citizens to occupy political positions through general elections. The requirements for verifying political parties participating in an election are always contained in every election law making it difficult for political parties to pass verification as well as excluding several political parties that have met certain verification requirements so that they are immediately declared as participants in the next elections. This exception is not in accordance with several Constitutional Court Decisions which have the same substance which consistently declares unconstitutional, except for the Constitutional Court Decision Number 55/PUU-XVIII/2020. The research method used is normative juridical regarding laws and regulations, namely Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections, accompanied by comparative study of jurisprudence Constitutional Court's decision regarding an application for judicial review of political party verification accompanied by literature studies. The research analysis uses a qualitative approach to understand more deeply the legal phenomena that occur and examines the substance to obtain specific conclusions on what is studied. That decision based on a discussion of this research is inconsistent because the arguments and materials of the 1945 Constitution used are different and the Constitutional Court is not required to use jurisprudence as a basis for consideration even though there are similarities in substance.
