Authors: Susanto Rezi 
Published: March 2022

This paper discusses Gandang Sarunai, a type of traditional percussion art in South Solok. The goal is to describe the concept of its presentation. With a qualitative approach, observations were made on the practice of presenting Gandang Sarunai in Nagari Luak Kapau, South Solok, by departing from an ethnomusicological understanding. Research shows that the presentation of Gandang Sarunai has several unique features, namely: combining elements of rhythm with elements of melody; the position of the player in the presentation, with two players facing each other playing the same double; and the playing system, which begins with the gandang palalu rhythm pattern, followed by the gandang paningkah, and also followed by the Sarunai instrument which plays non-rhythmically with a free melody and is not bound by the grooves of the gandang rhythm pattern.Keywords: presentation; traditional percussion; Gandang Sarunai; South SolokAbstrakTulisan ini membahas tentang Gandang Sarunai, sebuah jenis kesenian perkusi tradisional di Solok Selatan. Tujuannya untuk menguraikan perihal konsep penyajian dari kesenian tersebut. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif, pengamatan dilakukan terhadap praktik penyajian Gandang Sarunai di nagari Luak Kapau, Solok Selatan, dengan berangkat dari pemahaman etnomusikologi.

Pemberian terapi obat pada ternak seringkali diberikan secara kurang tepat. Salah satunya adalah kebiasaan dalam pemberian antelmintik yang diberikan terlalu sering, tidak tepat dosis, dan menggunakan satu jenis antelmintik sintetik yang sama dalam jangka waktu yang panjang. Kebiasaan tersebut memunculkan permasalahan baru yaitu mempercepat terjadinya resistansi. Permasalahan ini telah dihadapi secara global sehingga dilakukan banyak penelitian untuk mencari solusi alternatif dalam mencegah terjadinya resistansi. Pemanfaatan tanaman herbal dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif untuk menggantikan antelmintik sintetik. Melalui metode meta-analisis, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan keefektifan dari dua jenis antelmintik ini. Metode diawali dengan pengumpulan data studi primer menggunakan database yang terdapat di ScienceDirect, Pubmed, ReasearchGate, Academia.edu, dan CABI pada rentang tahun 2007-2020. Data diseleksi dan dianalisis dengan melihat effect size sebagai indikator perbandingan efektivitas antelmintik sintetik dan antelmintik herbal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa antelmintik sintetik lebih efektif dengan effect size -2,90 ± 0,27, sedangkan antelmintik herbal -1,72 ± 0,28. Hal ini dikarenakan senyawa aktif dalam ekstrak herbal memiliki nilai afinitas ikatan yang lebih rendah. Senyawa herbal terbukti efektif sebagai antelmintika namun efeknya tidak sekuat antelmintika sintetik. Faktor metode ekstraksi bahan herbal dan interaksi senyawa herbal dalam campuran tanaman yang berbeda diduga menjadi faktor yang membuat efek kerja bahan herbal tidak sekuat antelmintika sintetik.

INTRODUCTION: Home lockdown enforced during COVID-19 pandemic may have affected individuals’ lifestyles and, possibly, their physical activity (PA) levels. In this study, we aimed to assess changes in Portuguese PA levels during lockdown.METHODS: We conducted an online survey based on the Special eurobarometer public opinion survey on sports and physical activity in April 2020 in order to collect data about the Portuguese PA levels before and during the home confinement period. PA was assessed by three outcome variables: (i) compliance with World Health Organization (WHO) aerobic PA recommendations, (ii) daily sitting time, (iii) and weekly walking time, with pre- lockdown and during lockdown levels being compared for each. Multinomial regression models were used to identify variables that were associated to changes in PA levels.RESULTS: We obtained 1281 responses (36.4% males). Most participants had high academic levels (73%) and were employed (76.3%). Lockdown was associated with significant decreases in aerobic PA levels (50.0% participants met WHO recommendations for aerobic PA levels before lockdown versus 38.8% during that period; p<0.001) and average weekly walking time (97.2 versus 72.4 minutes; p<0.001), as well as with increases in daily sitting time (p<0.001). We did not identify variables consistently associated with increasing or decreasing PA during lockdown.CONCLUSION: Home lockdown during COVID-19 pandemic is associated with a decrease in PA levels. In the likely event of another waves, when confinement may again be implemented, these data can be used to better prepare and to promote PA during that period.

Published: March 2022

Molluscs are a promising source of bioactive substances and are virtually untapped resources of novel compounds. Many novel metabolites with potent pharmacological properties have been discovered in marine organisms in recent years. The present study aimed to investigate the wound healing activity of a methanolic extract of the marine gastropod Turbinella pyrum using an excision and incision wound model. To determine the minimum lethal dose, acute oral toxicity studies were performed as per the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) guidelines. Excision and incision wound models were used to evaluate the wound healing activity of the methanolic extract of T. pyrum by preparing a simple ointment base BP at different concentrations using five groups of Wistar albino rats. Group I (control) received a topical application of the simple ointment BP. Group II (Standard) was treated with topical application of 5% framycetin sulphate cream, and Groups III, IV and V were treated with 5%, 10% and 15% methanolic extracts of T. pyrum. Student's t test was used to analyse the results obtained from the present study, and P<0.05 was considered significant. In the incision wound model, the epithelialization period was also found to be highly significant (P<0.05) in group V (10.77%) when compared to the standard (12.69%). In the excision wound model, the epithelialization period was also found to be highly significant (P<0.05) in group IV (13.17%) and group V (11.38%) when compared to that of the standard (Group II) (14.56%).This finding justifies that the methanolic extract of T. pyrum has properties that render it capable of promoting accelerated wound-healing activity.

Attention to intercropping for sustainable agriculture is increasing, and scientific studies on intercropping have also grown in recent years. Agroforestry Systems, which combine annual crops with trees, are used widely in semiarid regions to reduce wind erosion and improve the efficiency of resources such as water and nutrients. Field experiments were conducted at Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Papers Limited Farm, Mondipatty, Tamil Nadu, to study the compatibility of intercropping systems in the Dalbergia sissoo-based Horti-silvicultural system for two years during 2016 and 2017. The experiments were conducted in a split-plot design with four replications.The main plot treatments were M1: Cassava M2:Chillies and the subplot treatments were five nutrient management packages viz., S1: Untreated control, S2: 100 % Recommended Dose of Fertilizers (Cassava: 90: 90: 240 and Chillies: 60: 80: 80),S3: 125 % Recommended Dose of Fertilizers (Cassava: 112.5: 112.5: 300 and Chillies: 75: 100: 100), S4:150 % (Cassava: 135: 135: 360 and Chillies: 90: 120: 120) Recommended Dose of Fertilizers, S5: Soil Test Crop Response studies - Integrated Plant Nutrient Supply System -based recommendation (as per soil test value). The results indicated that the Horti-Silvicultural system of growing Cassava and Chillies along with D. sissoo performed well. It was observed that statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05) higher yields of 17.8 tha-1 and 1.6 tha-1 were recorded in Cassava and Chillies, respectively, in treatment S5, where the fertilizer was applied based on the Soil Test Crop Response studies - Integrated Plant Nutrient Supply System. In addition, the soil fertility status was also sustained in this plot. The fertilizers applied to the intercrops have contributed to the nutrient requirement of the tree crop and thereby reduced the cost of cultivation in the agroforestry system.

Bacillus cereus produces pore-forming toxins responsible for diarrhoea; therefore, rapidly detecting these toxins in food retailed for consumption is needed. The genomic DNA of 100 B. cereus isolates recovered from some retailed foods was extracted and used as a template for enterotoxin detection. The detection of genes of non-haemolyticnonhemolytic enterotoxin (nheA, nheB, nheC), hemolysin BL (hblA, hblC, hblD), entFM, cytK and bceT by the isolates was carried out with PCR using primers specific for the targeted genes, while the production of Nhe and Hbl enterotoxins in fifty of the randomly chosen isolates was detected with a Duopath Cereus Enterotoxin kit. Ninety-five percent of the isolates carried one or more components of the NHE complex, while 56% had one or more components of HBL. Sixteen out of the 100 isolates carried all the genes for NHE and HBL complex genes. The entFM, cytK and bceT genes were detected in 85%, 74% and 60% of B. cereus isolates, respectively. Starchy foods had the highest incidence of the HBL complex, while nheA and nheC occurred mostly in protein foods with 90% and 87% incidence, respectively. The immunological kit was able to detect the production of nonhemolytic enterotoxin (Nhe) in all the B. cereus isolates, while 28 B. cereus isolates produced hemolysin (hbl). Nineteen isolates that carried one or more genes encoding hbl did not produce the toxin. This study clearly showed that retailed foods sold in Ogun State, Nigeria, harbor B. cereus enterotoxigenic genes responsible for diarrhoea. These toxins can be rapidly detected in foods using both molecular and immunological methods.

Poor seed germination is a major issue in teak (Tectona grandis) propagation. Teak seed dormancy is thought to be the reason for delayed germination. So far, specific dormancy mechanisms have not yet been identified. In order to study the influence of presowing treatments on germination, seedling vigour, and biochemical attributes of fresh teak drupes collected from the seed production area of Top Slip in Tamil Nadu. The collected drupes were subjected to different presowing treatments viz., T1 - control, T2 - soaking and drying for 6 days, T3 – T18 (soaking and drying for 5 days + soaking in different concentrations of thiourea, potassium nitrate, hydrogen peroxide and calcium oxychloride for 12 hours). Treated drupes were placed for germination in earthen pots and kept in open sunlight. In parallel, true seeds extracted from untreated drupes were also subjected to germination under in vitro conditions as a check. A higher percentage of germination (40%) was recorded in true seeds under in vitro conditions when compared to the treated and untreated drupes under in vivo conditions. Among the treated drupes sown under in vivo conditions, the drupes given soaking + drying for 5 days + soaking in 2% calcium oxychloride (CaOCl2) recorded higher germination (17.16) with better seedling vigour. Analysis of teak true seeds and mesocarp extract in high-performance liquid chromatography showed that gibberellic acid was found only in true seeds, whereas the other compounds, viz., indole-3-acetic acid, indole butyric acid, abscisic acid and coumarin, were not present in the true seed or mesocarp.

Published: March 2022

Natural plant products are a significant source of synthetic and traditional medicines. The majority of the world population, especially in developing countries, is dependent on herbal formulations for their primary health care needs. Lawsonia inermis is a popular medicinal plant and possess many pharmacological properties. The present study was carried out to estimate the antimicrobial activity of L inermis leaves of the mother plant, regenerated plants and callus extract to justify the pharmaceutical aspect of the plant to provide herbal plant products as phytochemistry in Ayurveda as well as ethnobotanical aspect of the plant.The antimicrobial activity was determined with the help of the agar well diffusion method by using some Gram-positive;Bacillu subtilius MTCC441, Bacillus cereus MTCC430, Staphylococcus aureus MTCC96,Gram-negative; Escherichia coli MTCC1885,Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC424 and fungal strains Candida albicans MTCC227.Leaves and callus extract were tested against these microorganisms in different types of solvent as Methanolic, Ethanolic, Aqueous, Acetone, Hexane, Chloroform and Diethyl ether were investigated by agar well diffusion method. Different extraction procedures were done by using the soxhlet apparatus.Dilutions were made for the extract and it was noticed that the zones of inhibitions were increased ith the concentration of the extracts. Methanolic leaves extract was found best extract for antimicrobial activity of L. inermis in comparison to other extracts.The maximum zone of inhibition was 13.79±1.7mm in methanolic extracts of leaves against B. subtilis and the minimum zone of inhibition was noticed 09.40±1.7 mm against B. cereus.The value of the zone of inhibition was more in the case of leaves extracts as compared to callus extracts.This study showed that methanolic leaves extracts of L. inermis inhibit the growth of microorganisms dose-dependently.The leaves of Lawsonia inermis support the traditional use of the plant in therapy of bacterial infection.

Collaborative learning is an activity to work in small groups or teams that allows students to develop mutual cooperation in learning. This study aims to highlight the effectiveness of collaborative learning in improving student academic achievement. It was carried out with a quantitative method and the pretest-posttest experimental design was applied. There were sixty students participated in this study. To assess students’ achievement, online grammar pretest and posttest were distributed. In addition, collaborative learning questionnaire was administered to elicit students’ responses towards collaborative learning. Based on paired-samples t test result, it was found that the pretest and posttest mean scores were significantly different (t(59) = -5.977, p < .05). This indicated that there was a higher mean score of posttest after the implementation of collaborative activities. Most students responded that collaborative learning activities improved academic performance and team work helped them to receive input from their peers as well as provide better result in completing the tasks than working individually. It is recommended that various collaborative activities should be designed to motivate university students in learning grammar.

Published: March 2022

Introducción: Constantin von Economo reportó en 1917 múltiples casos de manifestaciones neurológicas secundarias a la pandemia de la gripe española, clasificándolos en tres grandes grupos: forma somnolienta-oftalmopléjica, mutismo y la hipercinética, con secuelas similares a la enfermedad de Parkinson. Objetivo: presentar un caso de reciente aparición de patología rara en Cali, Colombia con manejo adecuado en unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI). Presentación del caso: paciente de 9 años con disminución de la fuerza en extremidades, disartria y somnolencia, que inició deterioro neurológico progresivo requiriendo manejo en UCI. El equipo multidisciplinario diagnosticó encefalitis letárgica e iniciaron manejo con plasmaféresis e inmunosupresión con mejoría significativa. Discusión y conclusiones: como la prevalencia es escasa, el diagnóstico exige un alto índice de sospecha como la ocurrencia de un cuadro infeccioso previo al inicio de los síntomas, ya que se considera una reacción autoinmune cruzada contra antígenos de la sustancia nigra. En algunos casos hay alteraciones en los estudios imagenológicos o en citoquímico de líquido cefalorraquídeo. El manejo con pulsos de metilprednisolona y filtración de plasma con plasmaféresis brinda mejoría significativa con disminución de las secuelas a futuro.
