Published: September 2022

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different ecbolic therapies on puerperium in twenty four Surti buffaloes divided into four different groups consisting of six animals in each. Buffaloes in Group-I (T1) were not given any treatment and considered as control group. Group-II (T2) and Group- III (T3) buffaloes were injected methylergometrine (5 mg) and dinoprost tromethamine (25 mg) i/m, respectively, immediately after parturition. The animals in Group-IV (T4) received oral herbal ecbolic, 100 mL, daily for first 10 days postpartum. The time required for placental expulsion, persistence of lochial discharge, involution of uterus and service period were significantly (P<0.05) longer in T1 (14.86±6.65 h, 12.17±1.94 days, 36.50±4.76 days and 103.33±12.10 days, respectively) than T2 (10.33±2.71 h, 8.83±1.47 days, 33.33±3.61 days and 95.00±8.74 days), T3 (7.00±1.48 h, 8.00±1.41 days, 29.50±1.14 days and 86.50±4.88 days) and T4 (9.38±1.62 h, 10.17±1.47 days, 31.17±3.19 days and 97.80±7.21 days, respectively). The conception rates achieved in T1, T2, T3 and T4 groups/treatment were 50.00, 83.33, 100.0 and 83.33 %, respectively, with an overall conception rate of 79.17 % for all four groups of Surti buffaloes. The results were significantly superior with injection methylergometrine (5 mg) Group III given immediate postpartum, hence may be practiced to improve uterine health and postpartum fertility in buffaloes.

Published: September 2022

Among 23 dogs positive with canine demodicosis, 18 were selected for study, and 6 healthy dogs were taken as control. The dogs were divided into 4 groups, each consisting of 6 animals. Group I served as control. Group II, III and IV were treatment groups. Dogs of group II were given a subcutaneous injection of ivermectin @ 0.2 mg/kg b.wt weekly up to 4 weeks in combination with topical application of amitraz 12.5% solution as 0.05% mixed in water. Dogs of group III were given safrone tablets PO for 10 days in combination with safrone oil topically for 15 days. Dogs of group IV were given a fluralaner tablet @ 25 mg/kg PO for a single dose. All the dogs were bathed with shampoo containing benzoyl peroxide at weekly interval, except dogs of group III, and were given cefpodoximeproxetil @ 10 mg/kg b.wt. and pheniramine maleate @ 1 mg/kg b.wt. PO bid for 5 days and vitabestderm syrup 5 mL PO bid. Serum interleukin (IL)-10 showed a significant or appreciable increase in demodectic animals compared to healthy animals. Mite count was reduced up to 100 % on 30th day post-treatment in dogs of group II and there was quite a reduction in mite count in dogs of group IV, while lowest reduction in mite count was noticed 30th day post-treatment in dogs of group III. So, it was concluded that a combination of injection of ivermectin subcutaneously and amitraz 12.5% solution diluted to 0.05% topically had the highest efficacy among 3 treatment protocols used for canine demodicosis.
An Unusual Case of Swimmer Puppy Syndrome in Labrador Puppy
Authors: Patel Rajkumar , Patel Nidhi , Gondaliya Ravi , Sadhu Dashrath , Raval Sunant K. 
Published: September 2022

Swimmers puppy syndrome is an uncommon developmental deformity seen in neonatal puppies and kittens, in which animal's limbs, most commonly hind limbs, are splayed laterally, and because of that animals are unable to walk or stand. This condition may also affect the thoracic limb. It is also called flat pup syndrome, twisted legs, turtle pup, and splay leg. This condition is commonly seen in brachycephalic breeds having short legs and a broad thoracic cavity. When trying to walk, affected animals invariably stay in sternal recumbency and show swimmers-like movements and this movement is more commonly seen on the smooth surface. The exact cause of this condition is unknown but many predisposing factors are responsible, viz., slippery floor, delayed neuromuscular development, abnormal myelinization, genetic factor, weight gain exceeding skeletal muscle development, etc. This condition is commonly seen at the 1st to 7th week of age. Currently, there is no specific and set protocol for the treatment of Swimmer Puppy Syndrome. To our knowledge, the few case studies described therapies based on the implementation of temporary immobilizations utilizing eight-girdle or cuff bandages and intensive physical therapy.

The Role of Heritage Communities in Local Development Processes through the reuse of Architectural Heritage. Some Examples in Italian Rural Areas
Authors: Valiante Caterina , Oteri Annunziata Maria 
Published: September 2022

Over the last three decades, various initiatives promoted by the European Union concerning the involvement and empowerment of communities in recognising and creating cultural values have flourished. They include, for instance, the Faro Convention, programs for ecomuseums and community mapping, and have contributed to giving voice to bottom-up initiatives for enhancing not only so-called monumental architecture but also "ordinary" architecture and built and vernacular cultural heritage. In general, this approach has also contributed to focusing attention on the importance of local communities in local development processes. In Italy, the so-called inner areas are often characterised by ordinary and vernacular heritage related to rural or manufacturing activities. In these small villages, some local communities, also thanks to the Italian National Strategy for Inner Areas, recognised reuse of part of the vernacular local built heritage as a strength for the community itself and the broader context. Some cases have demonstrated that valorisation of architectural heritage is possible without creating tourism-related facilities only (hotels, museums, etc.) but also creating services needed by "local" users that facilitate the everyday life of the place. In this perspective, attention should also be focused on heritage education and the intergenerational transmission of knowledge, which should involve the entire community at different levels, starting from experiences already in place in similar contexts. In this sense, a community can be intended as a broad concept, a constantly evolving process that includes the resident citizens and a broader network related to a specific territory. Through analyses of case studies, this contribution aims to propose reflections on the role of heritage community experiences in empowering vernacular architectural heritage and its wider context.

Published: September 2022

This study aims to analyze clusters based on the area and population density of the area and population density of the area in DKI Jakarta Province in 2015 using the data mining method by clustering as the first step in planning for population equality. The subject of analysis in this study is a village located in the province of DKI Jakarta which is recorded based on the area and population density in each sub-district until 2015 with several stages, namely data understanding, data processing or cleansing, cluster tendency assessment, clustering, cluster review. From this study, the results were obtained that the data tended to be clustered because the statistical value of Hopkins was close to the value of 0 and in VAT there was a vague picture of clusters that might be formed. Based on this, cluster creation is carried out using the K-Means Algorithm. Based on the results, there are 3 clusters formed, namely cluster 0 (not densely populated), cluster 1 (medium population density), and cluster 2 (densely populated). These results can be used as a basis for policy making in population management.

Published: September 2022

Background Vasectomy is a procedure that results in permanent yet reversible sterility and remains a great contraceptive option for many. Previous research studies have highlighted frequency of vasectomy utilization, defining characteristics of individuals who opt for this method, various surgical techniques, and the risks and benefits associated with the procedure. What remains to be defined is why or why not individuals may experience post-vasectomy regret and whether the previous characteristics correlate. Objective The objective of this review is to synthesize information regarding reasons individuals may regret their vasectomy and seek reversal, what options exist for accomplishing the reversal, and patients’ fertility prognosis post-vasovasostomy. Methods This review utilized a combination of secondary and tertiary data analysis across a wide scope of academic databases pertaining to the topic of interest. Results Typically, most males who have sought a vasectomy are satisfied with their decision, however, approximately 6% of this population seeks reversal. Key factors influencing vasectomy regret include age at the time of vasectomy, parental status, pre- and post-operative relationship status, unresolved physical and psychosexual problems, and development of chronic scrotal pain following the procedure. Few options exist for vasectomy reversal including microsurgical reconstructive vasectomy reversal (VR) and sperm extraction for in vitro fertilization. There is no guarantee that fertility will be restored in any case but a major predictive factor for success is the time interval prior to reversal. Conclusion Vasectomy is intended to be a permanent form of contraception; however, a minor chance remains that individuals may experience post-operative regret due to various factors. This warrants proper comprehensive counseling by the patient’s provider regarding benefits and risks, procedural outcomes, opportunities for reversal, and fertility prognosis.
Studies in the Glossopteris flora of India - 4. Glossopteris, Gangamopteris and Palaeovittaria from the Raniganj Coalfield
Authors: Srivastava P.N. 
Published: September 2022

The name Glossopteris was instituted by Brongniart for the large tongue-shaped leaves, which were dominant in the Lower Gondwana flora. So far about 40 species of this genus have been described by various authors. From India alone as many as 18 species are known, majority of which were described by Feistmantel. Since most of the species were founded before the cuticular technique was adopted by the palaeobotanists, species were created on the external characters alone, such as the shape, size and venation of the leaf. However, no two authors agree about the distinctive characters of any particular species and such examples are numerous in the literature. While Feistmantel gave new specific names to the leaves on very minor differences, Arber did not agree in multiplicity of the names. He, in fact, merged several of the Glossopteris species and reduced their number to 13 (ARBER, 1905, pp. 47, 48).
In the present work, cuticles of 14 Indian species of Glossopteris are described. Glossopteris indica (ZElLLER, 1896) and Glossopteris angustifolia (SAHNI, 1923) were repeated in order to find any new details. Glossopteris angustifolia did not reveal any new features worthy of note. The present study, therefore, confirm the observations of Professor Sahni.
Spore assemblage out of a lower carboniferous shale from Spitzbergen
Authors: Bharadwaj D.C. , Venkatachala B.S. 
Published: September 2022

The sporae dispersae recovered from a carbonaceous shale of Lower Carboniferous age from Spitzbergen have been described. In all, 28 genera and 67 species are reported, out of which 6 genera, viz. Iugisporis, Corbulispora, Velamisporites, Rostratispora, Orbisporis and Clavisporites, and 30 species are new. This spore flora is compared with the spore assemblages of Lower Carboniferous (incl. Namurian) age from Canada, U.S.A., Scotland, Central Europe, European and Asian U.S.S.R. and Turkey.
It has been concluded that the lndex-Spore-Association signifying Lower Carboniferous age is comprised by one or more of such genera as Convolutispora, Cincturasporites, Labiadensites, Tripartites and Rotaspora. A number of other genera, less broadly distributed but found often associated with the index genera of Lower Carboniferous strata, are Corbulispora, Velamisporites, Orbisporis, Monilospora, Clavisporis, Tendosporites, Perianthospora and Grandispora.
Sporological study of the coals from Falkenberg (Faulouemont) colliery, Lothringen (Lorrain), France
Authors: Venkatachala B.S. , Bharadwaj D.C. 
Published: September 2022

Fossil spores and pollen grains from the coals of Falkenberg colliery have been studied in detail. This study has been utilised to corroborate the correlation of the coal seams in the two sections of the colliery which lies in the Lothringen area of Lothringen-Saar-Pfalz basin. The spores recovered from these coals have been assigned here to 52 spore genera and 157 spore species out of which 49 species, which have been newly proposed, are described in detail. In addition to this, 1 genus and 3 species have been emended and the emended diagnoses given.
The distribution of the dispersed spores in the different scam, has been given and it has been concluded that miofloristically coal seams 1-4 of Southfield agree with coal seams 1-4 of Northfield, thus substantiating the correlation in vogue miofloristically. The spore assemblage of the succession but for coal seam 1, corresponds to division II of Bhardwaj 1955, correlated as Westphalian D in age. Seam 1 probably represents the initiation of Stephanian. The absence of Lycospora in this seam along with certain components is fairly suggestive.
In the final part of the discussion the flora of the Falkenberg coals has been compared with the spore flora of the Saar basin.
Miospore assemblage in some coals of Barakar stage (Lower Gondwana) of India
Authors: Tiwari R.S. 
Published: September 2022

Sporae dispersae have been referred to 53 miospore genera with 131 species out of which 59 species are new. For each species a large number of specimens have been studied and the probable range of variation in the qualitative as well as quantitative characters within a species has been determined. For specific delimitation the association of morphographic characters has been given primary importance. New species have been diagnosed, described and compared in detail.
The qualitative and quantitative compositions of the assemblages from Korba Coalfield and W. Bokaro Coalfield have been compared. It has been concluded that the mioflora of Korba Coalfield is divisible into an older and a younger assemblage. The younger assemblage shows some closeness with the mioflora of W. Bokaro Coalfield.
On the geology and correlation of coal seams of Pench-Kanhan - Upper Tawa valley coalfield, district Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh
Authors: Pareek H.S. 
Published: September 2022

The Satpura Gondwana basin has not drawn as much attention during the recent years, as other basins have from coal geologists for systematic mapping and coal seam correlation. Hence scattered information only is available for parts of coalfields of this basin. The geology of the Pench, Kanhan and Upper Tawa valley coalfields is presented in this paper, which also brings out the coal seams and their correlation in these areas. As all major Gondwana basins have been named after their principal drainage, the term Pench-KanhanTawa valley basin is preferred to Satpura Gondwana basin.
The Lower Gondwana formations of the coalfield include the Talchirs, Barakars and Moturs, while separated exposures of the Upper Gondwanas occur in the Pench valley region. The Talchirs are in faulted contact with the Barakars in the northern portion of the coalfield. Faulting is common in the sedimentaries.
Three coal seams numbered as I, II and III from the top and of thicknesses 1.22-8.53 m., 0.60-1.82 m., and 0.60-2.13 m. respectively, occur within the Barakars. The seam characteristics have been presented. A thin seam, named as Leader, persistently appears following as a younger seam over each of the seams II and III. In the Pench valley region the Leader has coalesced with the respective seams in certain areas. In seam I, a tonstein band appearing microscopically as sandy carbonaceous kaolinitic mudstone grades laterally into shale and siltstone.
Palynology of the Laki sediments in Kutch - 3. Pollen from the bore-holes around Jhulrai, Baranda and Panandhro
Authors: Sah S.C.D. , Kar R.K. 
Published: September 2022

The present paper deals with the pollen grains recorded from ten bore-holes around Jhulrai. Baranda and Panandhro drilled through the Laki sediments in the district of Kutch, Cujarat State, India. The palynological assemblage comprises 43 dispersed genera and 68 species. Out of these 7 genera, viz, Dracaenoipollis, Verrucolporites, Striacolporites, Pellicieroipollis, Meliapollis, Ghoshiacolpites and Thymelaepollis and 33 species are new.
The palynological assemblage reflects a predominance of angiospermic pollen. The gymnospermous pollen are very rare and represented by Callialasporites, Laricoidites, Araucariacites and Podocarpidites. Among the angiosperms, dicotyledonous pollen dominates over the monocotyledonous both in variety as well as in numbers. The mono-cotyledon are represented by genera like Monosulcites, Liliacidites and Palmaepollenites. Umbelliferoipollenites, Margocolporites, Stephanocolpites and Polycolpites, representing the dicotyledonous plants, are also well represented in the assemblage. A few pollen genera, viz. Sonneratiopollis and Pellicieroipollis, closely comparable to some of the extant pollen of mangroves, have also been recovered.

Analisis Performansi Routing Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP) pada Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) Berdasarkan Standar IEEE 802.11S
Authors: Manullang Fenmelin Muhardafen , Cahyani Niken Dwi Wahyu , Suryani Vera 
Published: September 2022

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) merupakan jaringan komunikasi wireless yang terbentuk dari node radio dimana minimal terdapat dua atau lebih jalur komunikasi data pada setiap node. Di dalam WMN terdapat beberapa node client yang dapat begerak dengan kecepatan lambat (seperti kecepatan pejalan kaki) yang memungkinkan jaringan ini menjadi dinamis. Apalagi karena WMN merupakan jaringan yang wireless berarti akan memungkinkan ada user dalam jaringan yang terkadang bertambah ataupun berkurang. Dengan adanya perubahan kecepatan dan jumlah user, WMN membutuhkan suatu protokol routing yang handal untuk mencari jalur yang terbaik. Protokol routing yang digunakan adalah HWMP (hybrid) yang merupakan default protokol routing dalam WMN, sementara AODV (reaktif), dan??? DSDV (proaktif) dijadikan sebagai pembanding protokol routing dari HWMP. Dengan protokol routing ini akan diamati perubahan yang terjadi berdasarkan parameter uji seperti Routing Overhead (RO) dan Normalized Routing Load (NRL) yang akan disimulasikan pada network simulator 2 (NS-2). Hasil nilai simulasi sudah diperoleh dengan menyimpulkan bahwa protokol routing DSDV merupakan protokol routing yang paling efisien dalam pengujian ini.

Výuka odborného cizího jazyka na SOŠ a SOU (na příkladu stavebních a dřevozpracujících oborů)
Authors: Pešková Michaela , Kubíková Kateřina , Mištěrová Ivona 
Published: September 2022

Cílem studie je analyzovat stav výuky odborného cizího jazyka (OCJ) na středních odborných školách a středních odborných učilištích na příkladu oborů stavebnictví a oborů zpracování dřeva. Dále pak analyzovat závěry strategických dokumentů a na základě výsledků kvalitativního výzkumu popsat aktuální stav výuky OCJ na konkrétních SOŠ a SOU a následně nastínit možná didaktická řešení. Výklady jsou konkretizovány na příkladech oborů stavebnictví (Instalatér, Zedník, Stavebnictví) a zpracování dřeva (Truhlář). Vzhledem ke stanoveným cílům studie a designu výzkumu, který se soustředí zejména na analýzu a mapování současné situace ve výuce odborného cizího jazyka na středních odborných školách, jsme si stanovili následující výzkumné otázky: Jaké metody a didaktické materiály jsou využívány k výuce OCJ? Na jaké bariéry pedagogičtí pracovníci při výuce OCJ narážejí? Prostřednictvím jaké podpory by bylo možné efektivitu výuky OCJ zvýšit? S ohledem na stanovené výzkumné otázky byl výzkum proveden kvalitativní formou metodou polostrukturovaného rozhovoru. Celkově se výzkumu zúčastnilo 51 učitelů z 10 různých škol. Během výzkumu byly prozkoumány strategické dokumenty, školní vzdělávací programy a relevantní učebnice FLSP s cílem (ne)potvrdit jejich (ne)vhodnost pro vyučující a studenty. Výsledky studie naznačují, že kvalita výuky OCJ na zkoumaných středních odborných školách a učilištích je nedostatečná. Didaktická efektivita, kterou je třeba nastavit, spočívá zejména v integraci komunikační kompetence a odborného obsahu, v důrazu na praktičnost a reálnou profesní komunikaci, využití prvků informálního učení a v neposlední řadě v implementaci strategií digitálního vzdělávání.
