Sexual Alteration in Littoraria Angulifera (Gastropoda: Littorinidae) Fed with an Organotin-Contaminated Artificial Diet
Authors: Zeidan Gabriela Calvi , Boehs Guisla 
Published: August 2023

Purpose: This study verified the presence of sexual morphological changes in Littoraria angulifera fed with an artificial diet with tributyltin (TBT).

Theoretical framework: Littoraria angulifera (Lamarck, 1822) is a conspicuous estuarine gastropod from tropical regions. It shows generalist feeding habits and fulfills several selection criteria for estuaries monitoring.

Method/design/approach: For 30 days female L. angulifera (n=360) were placed in culture plates and fed with paper fragments soaked with a control (sea water and Dimetil sulfoxid (DMSO)) and TBTCl (0.1 and 0.5 μg g−1) solutions. After this period, the specimens that survived were anesthetized (10% MgCl2) and euthanized for pallial oviduct length (POL) and distance between the anus opening to vulva (DAV) analysis.

Results and conclusion: The paper consumption decreased after the first week of treatment in all groups, and the specimens fed with diet contaminated with TBT stopped eating during the second week. The specimens exposed to TBT exhibited elongated POL, while DAV was reduced, changes that might compromise reproductive function. Penial development was not detected in females fed with the diet contaminated with TBT.

Research implications: L. angulifera can be an estuarine species for assessing organotin contaminants, which also elevates its importance in biomonitoring programs.

Originality/Value: This study highlights the use of contamined artificial diet with paper is significant in proposing a material with low costs, widespread access, and ease of handling and measurement as a low cost alternative for invasive ecotoxicological experiments with L. angulifera.

Authors: Al-Hashmi Ahmed Shakeeb Abdalla , Al-Nuaimi Abu Bakr Ahmad Othman 
Published: August 2023

Objective: This study reviews the legal aspect of administrative responsibility for the damages that arise from the public road facility and a statement of the basis of that responsibility in French law and Iraqi law. The aim is to prove that justice requires the court to compensate the victim of the public road facility whether there is a fault of the administration or not there is fault in certain circumstances, which indicates that the court's discretion takes into account the circumstances in which the damage occurred, as well as the character of the injured person.

Theoretical framework: The court has discretion to determine the administration's liability for damages caused to individuals by the public road facility, in order to administer justice and preserve the rights of individuals.

Method: The researcher followed the two inductive rooting approaches, which depend on extrapolating court decisions and the deductive analytical approach, to analyze the legal texts on management responsibility.

Results and conclusion: The system of management liability for damage resulting from a public facility is based on proven fault, but the matter differs in the scope of liability for damage arising from the public road facility, where the responsibility of management is based on presumed fault and liability without fault.

Implications of the research: The results have implications for legal practice, emphasizing the importance of the Iraqi judiciary applying what the French judiciary went to, and stresses the importance of fairness and justice in redressing the affected by the public road facility.

Originality/value: It is possible to apply the rules followed in the French judiciary and apply them in the Iraqi judiciary in order to protect the rights and freedoms of individuals

Published: August 2023

Objective: Extension officers play an important role in increasing community participation and are tasked with preparing, implementing, and evaluating the performance that has been carried out by the performance evaluation of extension workers in the Republic of Indonesia Minister of Agriculture Regulation No. 91/Permentan/OT.140/9/2013.

Theoretical framework: The increase in livestock population is inseparable from the role of agricultural extension workers who always guide breeders to produce Bali cattle. Livestock rearing in Konawe Selatan Regency is dominated by small-scale community farms with natural and human resources that have the potential to support the development of Bali cattle. However, the development of Bali cattle in this area has not been carried out effectively. Field extension officers have held various counseling regarding cattle development, but many breeders still have not changed their farming methods.

Method: The location for the study was determined by purposive sampling, considering that South Konawe Regency is an area designated by the government of the Republic of Indonesia as a source area for Bali cattle breeds. Using statistical data, the sub-district area used as the study location was determined by stratified random sampling based on the criteria for low, medium, and high population numbers of Bali cattle. Furthermore, respondents were determined by snowball sampling up to 300 farmers for each sub-district and descriptively analyzed using independent evaluation scores.

Results and conclusion: The findings regarding the performance of livestock extension agents in South Konawe Regency have not given satisfaction to Bali cattle breeders, as evidenced by the analysis of the competence and role of extension agents. This study concludes that to increase the population of Bali cattle, the role of extension agents is very important, and of course, the government must further increase the competence and role of extension agents in the South Konawe Regency.

Implications of the research: The findings in this study can be concluded that the competence of extension workers and the role of extension agents both in East Kolono District, Buke District, and Tinanggea District fall into the bad and not good categories according to PERMENTAN RI No. 91/Permentan/OT.140/9/2013 regarding the performance of livestock extension agents.

Originality: The novelty of this research lies in evaluating the performance of extension workers by the Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia No. 91/Permentan/OT.140/9/2013.

SAXS/PCS study on the mesoscopic structure of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations for mRNA drug delivery: Comirnaty and drug-free LNP dispersions
Authors: Unruh Tobias , Götz Klaus , Vogel Carola , Fröhlich Erik , Scheurer Andreas 
Published: August 2023

Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs) produced by anti-solvent precipitation (ASP) are used in formulations for mRNA drug delivery. The mesoscopic structure of such complex multicomponent and polydisperse nanoparticulate systems is most relevant for their drug delivery properties, medical efficiency, shelf-life, and possible side effects. However, the knowledge on the structural details of such formulations is very limited. Essentially no such information is publicly available for pharmaceutical dispersions approved by numerous medicine agencies for the use in humans and loaded with mRNA encoding a mimic of the spike protein of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as e.g. the Comirnaty formulation (BioNTech). Here, we present a simple preparation method to mimic the Comirnaty drug-free LNPs including a comparison of their structural properties with those of Comirnaty. Strong evidence for the liquid state of the LNPs in both systems is found in contrast to the designation of the LNPs as solid lipid nanoparticles by BioNTech. A detailed structural model for the LNPs i.a. revealing their unexpected narrow size distribution will be presented based on SAXS, DLS, light microscopy, and ¹HNMR studies. The presented results should contribute to better understanding the LNP drug delivery process, enhancing their medical benefit, and reducing side effects.

Published: August 2023

Even though the term “social contract” has been around for a while, its definition has evolved to fit the circumstances in a particular region. This study examines the idea of social contracts in the dynamic Indonesian environment, with a focus on partnerships between businesses and communities. This study examines the changing social dynamics within Indonesian society by using a qualitative research methodology and conducting a thorough literature review. It investigates how social contracts can address problems with cooperation and interaction between various groups. The findings underscore two significant factors that influence social contracts: coordination challenges within the same group and competition challenges between different groups. To effectively address these challenges, it is crucial to comprehend both intra-group and inter-group dynamics. The study concludes by discussing the Indonesian perspective on social contracts within the framework of existing rules and regulations, emphasizing the necessity of raising awareness and establishing a well-defined social contract framework to promote inclusive development and social harmony. It is necessary to create awareness about how social contracts help maintain inclusive development and the need to live within the means of social harmony based on social contracts established with a clear framework to realize a peaceful society. This study offers valuable insights into Indonesia’s evolving concept of social contracts. It underscores the pivotal role of collaboration between companies and communities in adapting to the rapidly changing Indonesian environment. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2022-03-04-005 Full Text: PDF

Published: August 2023

Background: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of dirofilariasis, Lyme, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis in sheltered dogs in Afyonkarahisar.
Methods: The data were obtained and evaluated from 400 dogs (female, n = 246; male, n = 154) of different breeds and at different ages that were referred to Afyon Kocatepe University Animal Hospital. Accordingly, ovariohysterectomy (n = 196), castration (n = 113), skin disease (n = 113), diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue and anorexia (n = 37), lameness (n = 13), transmissible venereal tumor (n = 9), ascites (n = 2), pregnancy diagnosis (n = 2), mammary tumor (n = 1) and conjunctivitis (n = 1) were determined in dogs. Blood samples of dogs were taken to hematology and biochemistry after the first clinical examination of dogs. SNAP 4Dx (Idexx) Quick test kit was used to diagnose dirofilariasis, Lyme, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis.
Result: The prevalence of anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, dirofilariasis, and Lyme was 1.25%, 0.75%, 0.75%, and 0%, respectively. Although the prevalence of anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, and dirofilariasis is low, the results of the study suggested that these zoonotic diseases should still be evaluated as a risk factor for both humans and animals which live in this region as the disease spreads through vectors
