Authors: Tresina Pious Soris , Mohan Veerabahu Ramasamy 
Published: February 2025

<p>There is an increasing interest in finding new food sources to alleviate malnutrition in developing countries, due to lack of protein rich food. Protein supply can be broadened by exploration and exploitation of alternate legume sources. Eventhough copious wild legume landraces have been identified, their utilization is limited due to inadequate attention.<em> Mucuna pruriens </em>var. <em>utilis </em>(black and white coloured seed coat), <em>Mucuna pruriens </em>var. <em>pruriens</em><em> and Mucuna deeringiana</em> are underutilized legume species having the credibility to be a rich protein source. This study was designed to assess the proximate composition, mineral profiles, vitamins (niacin and ascorbic acid), protein fractions, fatty acid profiles, amino acid profiles of total seed protein, <em>in vitro</em> protein digestibility and antinutritional potential of the above said <em>Mucuna </em>varieties<em>/</em>species. The major findings of the study were as follows: crude protein content ranged from 23.76-29.74%, crude lipid 8.24-9.26%, total dietary fibre, 6.54-8.76%, ash 4.78-5.30%, carbohydrates 56.56-63.88%, and calorific value 1783.02-1791.60 kJ/100g<sup>-1 </sup>DM. The examined seed samples contained minerals such as Na, K, Ca, Mg and P in abundance. The fatty acid profiles revealed that, the seed lipids contained higher concentrations of linoleic and palmitic acid. The antinutritional fatty acid, behenic acid (1.87-3.04%) was also detected. The current investigation helps in understanding the nutritional and antinutritional versatility of the <em>Mucuna</em> varieties<strong>/</strong>species, thereby developing further tactics for optimum utilization.</p>

<p>In order to determine the extent of response to the male effect in two breed of goats, previously observed to express a similar pattern of reproductive seasonality under tropical photoperiod (22°N), 17 Nubian and 15 Alpine female goats were exposed to sexual active males at May 15<sup>th</sup>. A higher proportion of Nubian vs. Alpine does ovulated in response to the male effect (76.5 <em>vs</em> 33.3%; P&lt;0.02). Two peaks of P<sub>4</sub> at 4 and 19 day after male introduction were observed, being more evident in Nubian does. Eight Nubian does showed P<sub>4</sub> increases &gt;0.5 ng ml<sup>-1</sup> within the first four days after male introduction, whilst Alpine does maintained basal P<sub>4</sub> levels during the same period (≤0.04 ng ml<sup>-1</sup>). The higher proportion of Nubian does ovulating due to the male effect, indicate that female goats of this breed, maintained under tropical photoperiod, are more responsive than Alpine does to non-photoperiodic external stimuli, such as the presence of sexual active males. </p>

<p>The Comarca Lagunera region is the most important area of maize forage in México. In this region; which is shared by the Mexican States of Coahuila and Durango, are used a great amount of hybrids and varieties of maize imported from other countries. Generally, these genotypes are not completely adapted to the soil and/or climatic conditions of the region. These antecedents lead scientists to pursuit for genotypes with the best adaptation to such conditions. The present investigation was carried out with the aim to find the best hybrids from the crosses of ten self-pollinating landraces following a diallel mating design. The landraces were obtained from different institutions: a) the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), b) the “Antonio Narro” Agrarian Autonomist University (UAAAN), and c) the National Institute of Agriculture, Forestry and Livestock Research (INIFAP). The following variables were evaluated from the hybrids: whole plant fresh matter yield (FMY), whole plant dry matter (DMY), fresh fruit yield (FFY) fresh stem yield (FSY), and fresh foliar yield (FLY). All variables reported as t ha<sup>-1</sup>. The Griffing statistical analysis was used to determine the general combining ability (GCA), and the specific combining ability (SCA). The highest values of GCA were obtained for the landraces M7, M8, and M9. The hybrids with highest SCA were: M5xM7, M2xM7, M6x10, M4xM8, M5xM8, M8xM10, M2xM5, M1xM10 and M6xM9. Two of these hybrids (M5xM7 and M2xM7) also showed the highest values for FMY and DMY. In conclusion, there is enough variability on FMY and DMY to believe on the possibility to find the most appropriate hybrid for the targeted region, and also to extend the breeding program to other arid lands in México </p>

Published: February 2025

<p>We evaluated the ability of the soils in a shade coffee agroecosystem under different handling conditions to accumulate stable forms of carbon in the Sierra Sur of Oaxaca, for this we quantify the soil carbon store and performed the isolation and chemical characterization of soil organic matter by chemical fractionation, UV-visible and infrared spectroscopy in the first 40 cm depth. Results showed no significant differences in carbon stores between handling conditions, reaching mean values 150 Mg C ha<sup>-1</sup>. Humification patterns are consistent for all soils and indicate that over 50% of soil organic matter found in the insolubilization humins and between 15 and 20% are humic acids. This fraction, presumably the most stable, is made up of molecules whose aromatic and maturation has a positive relationship with increasing altitude and clay content. According to the above confirms the ability of shade-coffee agroecosystems to accumulate high carbon content associated with stable forms of soil mineral fraction.</p>

<p>The objective of the present work is to describe the characteristics of the Tepeque cheese from “La Tierra Caliente” of the State of Michoacán, Mexico. Its region of origin, manufacturing process, physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics, were investigated. In addition the changes that occurred in the milk and cheese due to the introduction of a feeding system based on the use of an intensive silvo-pastoral system (ISPS) were described. The methodological approach consisted of field visits for data collection, semi-structured interviews to farmers in order to know the milk production systems and the cheese elaboration process. The physical (pH and density) and chemical characteristics (protein, fat, lactose, non fat solids and added water) of the milk used to elaborate the Tepeque cheese were determined. For the cheese the protein, fat, salt, moisture and ash contents and the pH were determined. The microbiological characteristics were determined for both milk and cheese, these included presence of mesophilic bacteria coliforms bacteria, yeast, fungus, <em>Listeria</em> spp. and <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>. The field study was carried out in 2010; it was divided in two experimental periods of six months each, named rainfall season and dry season. Fifteen milk-cheese producers were sampled, eight of them practice the traditional milk production systems and seven the ISPS. It was observed that the Tepeque cheese is a dairy product of excellent quality from the point of view of its main nutritional components, it is made with good quality milk too and it has a long history and great tradition that is older than 300 years. On the other hand, the cheese elaborated with milk from the ISPS had higher fat content (P&lt;0.05) that the cheese of the traditional system, for the other nutrients no significant differences were observed between systems (P&gt;0.05). Finally, it was observed that the sanitary characteristics of the milk and cheese were deficient in both systems; this problem is attenuated with the maturing process of cheese since as the cheese matures the number of undesirable bacteria is reduced. Therefore the consumption of matured cheese is recommended. </p>

<p>Karstic systems occupy nearly 20% of the surface of the earth and are inhabited by numerous human communities. Karstic aquifers are the most exposed to pollution from human activities. Pollution of karstic aquifers is a severe environmental problem worldwide. In order to face the vulnerability of karstic aquifers to pollution, researchers have created a diversity of study approaches and models, each one having their own strengths and weaknesses depending on the discipline from which they were originated, thus requiring a thorough discussion within the required multidisciplinary character. The objective of this article was to analyze the theoretical and methodological approaches applied to the pollution of karstic aquifers. The European hydrogeological, land evaluation, hydropedological and a geographic approach were analyzed. The relevance of a geomorphological analysis as a cartographic basis for the analysis of vulnerability and risks were emphasized. From the analysis of models, approaches and methodologies discussed the following recommendation is made: to form an interdisciplinary work team, to elaborate a conceptual model according to the site and the working scale and to e, apply and validate the model. </p>

<p>The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of plant spacing on <em>Clitoria</em> <em>ternatea</em> L. cv. Tehuana seed yield and quality. The experiment was carried out under rainfed conditions, from December 2006 to September 2007, at the Universidad del Papaloapan, Loma Bonita, Oaxaca, México. Five plant distances (T1:broadcast, T2:25*25, T3:50*50, T4:75*75, and T5:100*100 cm between rows and plants, respectively) were tested. Treatments were distributed in a randomized complete design, with three replicates. Seed yield (SY), seed yield per plant (SYP), number of pods per plant, number of pods per m<sup>2</sup>, pod length, number of seeds per pod, 100-seed weight, and seed germination were evaluated. SY showed differences between treatments (P&lt;0.01), the greater yield was found in T2 (482 kg ha<sup>-1</sup>), similar to those obtained in T1 and T3 (321 y 320 kg ha<sup>-1</sup>, respectively), but significantly different and higher (P&lt;0.05) than those obtained in T4 and T5. SYP, number of pods per plant, number of pods per m<sup>2</sup>, and number of seeds per pod, showed differences among treatments (P&lt;0.01). Number of pods per m<sup>2</sup>, pod length, and number of seeds per pod were the yield components which showed a greater association with SY, with r values of 0.70, 0.57, and 0.52, respectively. 100-seed weight and germination percentage were not affected significantly by the plant spacing (P&gt;0.05). It can be concluded that the highest seed yield was obtained at the 25*25 cm spacing between rows and plants, respectively. Seed germination was not affected by any of the treatments evaluated. </p>

Authors: Šárovec Daniel , Hynčica Pavel 
Published: February 2025

Volby do Národní rady Slovenské republiky v roce 2023 byly jako volby prvního řádu pečlivě sledované. Po volbách v roce 2020 vznikla relativně málo stabilní koaliční vláda. Tato situace vyústila v pád této vlády a ke jmenování úřednické vlády, která zemi dovedla k předčasným volbám konaným v září 2023. V těchto předčasných volbách zvítězila strana SMĚR–SD, nicméně úspěšné bylo i nové uskupení HLAS–SD. Jedním z výsledků voleb byl návrat Roberta Fica do premiérského křesla. Tato kvalitativní a deskriptivně zaměřená studie předkládá komplexní analýzu, přičemž pozornost je věnována událostem v období před a po volbách. Případová studie popisuje vývoj slovenského stranického systému, zkoumá širší dopad výsledků těchto voleb a následné změny v kooperativně-kompetitivních vztazích v rámci slovenského stranického systému. Výsledky parlamentních voleb v roce 2023 potvrdily dlouhodobou polarizaci a rozdělení slovenské politické scény a společnosti.

El avance de la inteligencia artificial (IA) ha permitido la creación de modelos innovadores en la educación superior, particularmente en áreas como Medicina y Odontología, donde la comprensión de conceptos clínicos es fundamental. Este artículo presenta el desarrollo de un modelo de aprendizaje colaborativo basado en IA, enfocado en la simulación de casos clínicos, el análisis automatizado de imágenes médicas y odontológicas, y la retroalimentación inteligente para los estudiantes. El modelo propuesto emplea algoritmos de aprendizaje automático para generar escenarios clínicos realistas, permitiendo a los estudiantes interactuar con casos dinámicos y recibir retroalimentación personalizada en tiempo real. Además, la IA facilita el análisis de imágenes diagnósticas, optimizando la precisión en la evaluación de patologías y mejorando la toma de decisiones clínicas. Se han documentado múltiples estudios científicos que validan el impacto positivo de la IA en la educación médica, respaldando su efectividad en el desarrollo de habilidades diagnósticas y la retención del conocimiento. Los resultados obtenidos reflejan mejoras significativas en el rendimiento académico, la comprensión de la ciencia médica y odontológica, y la satisfacción de los estudiantes. La evaluación del modelo se basa en métricas como la retención de conocimientos, la precisión en la resolución de casos clínicos y la percepción del aprendizaje por parte de los estudiantes. Se concluye que la implementación de IA en el aprendizaje colaborativo no solo optimiza los procesos formativos, sino que también representa una herramienta eficaz para la educación en todas las etapas de formación, desde el pregrado hasta la especialización. Este enfoque promueve una enseñanza más personalizada, interactiva y eficiente, adaptada a las necesidades del siglo XXI en la educación médica y odontológica.
Ethical and socio-cultural perspectives on free-roaming cat care: The role of the Universitas Indonesia Peduli Hewan (UIPH) community in urban environmental management
Authors: Aryanti Dela Almira , Wijaya Sandra Turmudi 
Published: February 2025

Background: The concept of sustainability can be applied to the management of free-roaming cat populations by humans in their environment. An increasing and uncontrolled free-roaming cat population can create problems for humans, the environment and the cats themselves. One of the efforts to manage the local cat population is carried out by the Universitas Indonesia Cares About Animals/Universitas Indonesia Peduli Hewan (UIPH) community in an urban campus environment. Such management is not necessarily in line with the concept of sustainability because it can be influenced by local community and environmental factors about which there is not much knowledge yet. Methods: Therefore, research is needed to find out more about the condition of free-roaming cats, the motivation and the role of UIPH in the UI Depok campus. A qualitative approach with in-depth interviews, direct observation and literature study is used. Findings: The results show that UIPH is a community of members from lecturers, staff and students who have concern for the survival of cats. UIPH activities include Feeding, Rescue, Fostering, Adoption and Education which are also assisted by volunteers, donations and co-sponsor collaborations. Activities by UIPH contribute to the condition of free-roaming cats that can roam freely on campus with relatively fat and healthy bodies. Conclusion: In its process, UIPH also faces problems and challenges related to the natural, social or man-made environment. But so far, they have been able to face them and carry out their routine activities. Membership, connections and ongoing programs have become an opportunity to develop community activities and regenerate wild animal awareness on campus. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the unique role of the UIPH community in managing free-roaming cat populations on an urban campus, contributing to the health and well-being of the animals. It also emphasizes the influence of local environmental and social factors in shaping sustainable wildlife management strategies.
