description: Reducing CO2 emissions and carbon (C) sequestration have paramount importance to reverse climate change-induced challenges. Natural forests have great potential to sequester more C; hence, participatory forest management (PFM) has been practiced in Ambiki Remnant Natural forest (ARNF). Despite this, there are limitations of quantitative baseline data to evaluate the effect of PFM on C stock. This study was conducted at ARNF in Guangua district to estimate the aboveground biomass (AGB) and belowground biomass (BGB) and C stock of the forest.47 circular sample plots were established through systematic grid distance (500m) having 314m2area. Inventory on diameter at breast height (≥ 5 cm) and Height (m) for 33 species (630 trees) was conducted. AGB of each species was calculated using the recommended allometric equation and BGB was calculated as 27% of the AGB. C stocks of the forest were also calculated as 50% of the biomass. As a result, AGB and BGB of the forest was 226.56 ton/ha and 61.2 ton/ha and the AGC and BGC was also 113.28 ton/ha and 30.59 ton/ha, respectively. Of which, 39.9%, 20.24%, 18.6%, and 19.67% were contributed by Albizia schimperiana, Prunus africana, Croton macrostachys, and others respectively. Our result was lower compared to that of other forests and gained by a few species. Even though, it could be used as baseline information to know additive C via PFM practice in the forest. Furthermore, assisted natural regeneration and integrated management approaches are needed to enrich forest species and sequester more C in short period.

description: Monkeypox is a currently re-emerging disease in the world and several cases have been detected in Lebanon. For this reason, an assessment of the knowledge and attitude of the Lebanese population towards monkeypox and smallpox or monkeypox vaccines had to be done. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire developed from previous literature among a sample of Lebanese residents. It recorded the sociodemographic characteristics and comorbidities of the participants and analyzed the patterns of knowledge and attitudes in Lebanon. Among 493 participants, it was found that there is a generally low knowledge of and an average attitude toward monkeypox. However, knowledge is better with higher educational levels, COVID-19 vaccination, and residency in the south of Lebanon and poorer with marriage and residency in Beirut. Attitude is better in females but poorer with higher educational levels. Several other effectors have been devised too. As for vaccination, taking the smallpox vaccine as a proactive measure is predicted with previous COVID-19 vaccination and better attitude but not in the residents of the north of Lebanon and married Lebanese residents. Higher educational levels and a better attitude were positive predictions of taking the monkeypox vaccine whenever it is developed. This study provided insights into the level of knowledge and attitude towards monkeypox and its vaccines, which can be a rich resource when proactive measures are developed.

description: Due to the energy crisis caused by the depletion of resources and increased environmental problems combined with the great need for edible oil as food and the reduction in biodiesel production cost, inedible oils are referred as an alternative fuel for diesel engine. Among different non-edible vegetable oils which could be used as ternate fuels, four vegetable oils, Jatropha curcas L., Pongamia pinnata L., Madhuca indica J.F. and Azadirachta indica A. Juss oils were selected for this study. Since there was a variation in the physical properties of these four alternate fuels and their biodiesels, a comparative analysis was done for methyl esters of different oils in blends with diesel of different proportions. It was clear from this study that biodiesel generally caused an increase in NOx emission and a decreased in HC, CO and smoke emissions compared to diesel. It is found that a diesel engine run successfully on a blend of 20% biodiesel and 80% diesel fuel without damage to engine parts. Methyl ester from Jatropha oil, with properties close to diesel, showed better performance and emission characteristics, followed by esters of Pongamia, Neem and Mahua oils.

description: Supernova remnants interacting with molecular clouds are potentially exciting systems in which to detect evidence of cosmic ray acceleration. Prominent gamma-ray emission is produced via the decay of neutral pions when cosmic rays encounter the nearby dense clouds. In many of the supernova remnants coincident with gamma-ray sources, the presence of OH(1720 MHz) masers is used to identify interaction with dense gas and to provide a kinematic distance to the system. In this paper we use statistical tests to demonstrate that there is a correlation between these masers and a class of GeV- to TeV-energy gamma-ray sources coincident with interacting remnants. For pion decay, the gamma-ray luminosity provides a direct estimate of the local cosmic ray density. We find the cosmic ray density is enhanced by one to two orders of magnitude over the local solar value, comparable to X-ray-induced ionization in these remnants. The inferred ionization rates are sufficient to explain non-equilibrium chemistry in the post-shock gas, where high columns of hydroxyl are observed.

description: The study was conducted in north eastern Ethiopia to describe the status of woody plants integration in smallholders’ farms and compare the smallholder farmers’ perceptions and attitudes towards tree integration. Reconnaisance study was made between April and September, 2015 to collect preliminary information. Plant specimens were collected, identified and deposited at the Herbarium in Wollo University. Ethnobotanical data were collected using semi-structured interview schedule from 623 informants selected by multistage sampling. Free lists of common woody plants were drawn along their perceived uses. The data were anlyzed using SPSS version 20, R and Climatol. Significant differences between means were tested using indepenndent t-test and ANOVA. In total, 72 plant species belonging to 61 genera and 40 families were recorded with corresponding perceived uses. More mentions of plant species and uses with less significant mean differences (P < 0.05) were recorded in South Wollo Administrative Zone, Woina Dega and those with higher literacy levels. So does with males than females, rich wealth group and elder informants with no and significant differences respectively. The findings indicate the need for mainstreaming tree integration activities with emphasis on women, poor, illiterate and younger households, and prioritizing the Dega agroecological zone and administrative zones with higher moisture stress. Uncertainities have surfaced about building confidence on tree ownership rights and level of stakeholders’ support for tree integration. Awareness creation, providing support mainly for specific groups, prioritizing agroecological and administrative zones, avoiding tenure insecurity would be crucial for sustainable tree integration.

description: We present a new family of gauge invariant non-local order parameters for (non-abelian) discrete gauge theories on a Euclidean lattice, which are in one-to-one correspondence with the excitation spectrum that follows from the representation theory of the quantum double D(H) of the finite group H. These combine magnetic flux-sector labeled by a conjugacy class with an electric representation of the centralizer subgroup that commutes with the flux. In particular cases like the trivial class for magnetic flux, or the trivial irrep for electric charge, these order parameters reduce to the familiar Wilson and the 't Hooft operators respectively. It is pointed out that these novel operators are crucial for probing the phase structure of a class of discrete lattice models we define, using Monte Carlo simulations.

description: Introduction: The Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) is a state-level police force in India. Good Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) among them is quintessential for the welfare of the society. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of dental caries and periodontal disease on the OHRQoL among the Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) stationed in Belagavi, India. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used with a total sample size of 720. The personnel were recruited by simple random sampling. The Oral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP 14) was used to assess OHRQoL in 7 domains. The intra-examiner reliability for World Health Organisation (WHO) oral assessment form 2013 was assessed using Kappa statistics and was found to be 0.86. Dentition and periodontal status were recorded using the same. Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson's coefficient of correlation and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: Physical pain and psychological discomfort had the highest mean scores among the seven domains of OHIP-14. Constables had higher mean OHIP-14 scores among the study population. A significant positive correlation was found between oral health parameters with the domains of OHIP-14. The highest dependence on the socio-demographic and oral health predictors were found in the domains of physical pain (44.2%), psychological discomfort (38.3%), and physical disability (30.5%). Conclusions: The study revealed that dental caries and periodontal disease had a significant impact on OHRQoL among reserve police personnel and the OHRQoL was poor particularly among the lower ranked personnel.

description: We propose a dynamic version of the three-dimensional translation gauge theory of dislocations. In our approach, we use the notions of the dislocation density and dislocation current tensors as translational field strengths and the corresponding response quantities (pseudomoment stress, dislocation momentum flux). We derive a closed system of field equations in a very elegant quasi-Maxwellian form as equations of motion for dislocations. In this framework, the dynamical Peach-Koehler force density is derived as well. Finally, the similarities and the differences between the Maxwell field theory and the dislocation gauge theory are presented.

description: Background: Institutional delivery is Giving birth in medical institution under the care and Supervision of trained health care providers which promotes newborn survival and reduces maternal mortality. The objective of the study was to assess Knowledge, Attitude and Practice towards institutional delivery among mothers of child bearing age who have one or more child and visit MCH clinic Adaba health center, West Arsi zone, South East Ethiopia. Methods: Institutional based cross sectional study design was conducted. The study was conducted starting from May 1-30, 2021 at Adaba health center, West Arsi zone, South East Ethiopia. Our study sample size is 250 mothers who have at least one birth and visiting MCH at Adaba health center. Systematic random sampling was used to select mothers, Data was collected by using structured questionnaire. Finally data was analyzed by SPSS version 21 Results out of 250 women during our data collection time 246(98.4%) were our respondents and 4(1.6%) were non respondents. Among 246 women 213 (86.6%) had good knowledge and 33(13.4%) had poor knowledge. While 212(86.2%) had good attitude and 34(13.8%) had poor attitude and 179(72.8%) had good practice but 67(27.2%) had poor practice. Conclusion Increasing knowledge, attitude and practice of mothers towards institutional delivery plays a key role in reducing maternal mortality and morbidity. However, the prevailing level of KAP towards institutional delivery is not satisfactory. Increasing utilization of institutional delivery by increasing awareness of each community through health information dissemination on importance of institutional delivery is needed.

description: We use the soft-wall AdS/QCD model to investigate the finite-temperature effects on the spectral function in the vector channel. The dissociation of the vector meson tower onto the AdS black hole leads to the in-medium mass shift and the width broadening in a way similar to the lattice QCD results for the heavy quarkonium at finite temperature. We also show the momentum dependence of the spectral function and find it consistent with screening in a hot wind.

description: Milk and its products are highly susceptible to microbial attack because of their rich composition. Therefore, the current cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2013 to April 2014 to isolate Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and evaluate its in vitro antimicrobial resistance pattern from bovine raw milk of lactating dairy cows of five private dairy farms of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A total of 267 milk samples were randomly and aseptically collected and tested using bacteriological and antibiotic susceptibility tests. The findings were analyzed using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS Version 16 Softwares. The phenotypic results showed that out of the total 267 cultured raw milk samples 14(5.24%) were found to be coagulase positive S. aureus. All the positive isolates were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility tests against twelve antimicrobial agents of different antibiotic classes. The antibiogram profile of the tested S. aureus results revealed as large proportions of the isolates were found to be highly susceptible to Streptomycin (71.4%), Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole (71.4%), Kanamycin (64.3%), Chloramphenicol (57.1%), Gentamycin (57.1%), and Methicillin (57.1%). However these isolates were highly resistant to Amoxicillin (78.6%), Tetracycline (78.6%), Ampicillin (71.4%), and Cloxacillin (57.1%). But the isolates were showed intermediate response to Neomycin (57.1%) and Polymyxin B (28.6%). Of the tested isolates 92.9% were developed a multidrug resistant. Hence, there should be a practice of proper use of antibiotics and hygienic measures in the farms, and genotypic based studies should be undertaken.

description: Background. In 1922 the famous Italian novelist Giovanni Verga died in Catania (Italy). In Verga’s manuscripts there are many suggestions to the world of medicine, in particular the diseases described the poor society of southern Italy at that time. One of the most common diseases described by Verga was the cholera. Methods. The authors searched and examined literature texts and features linked to public health. These are topical issues in the current period with the Covid pandemic. In Verga’s manuscripts we can found the topic of hygiene, epidemiology, infectious diseases. There are many ideas related to medicine: all diseases described the poor society and difficult social settings at that time. One of the most common diseases described by Verga was the cholera but also malaria and tuberculosis. Results: It was estimated that 69,000 people died of cholera in Sicily, 24,000 of them in Palermo. The public health situation in Italy was hard. One of the most meaningful features of the existence of cholera in Verga's manuscripts is the recognition of ignorance of people, who trust on popular stories and approach to medicine’s language. Conclusion: Verga describes a culturally and economically humble society, in the Sicily with a great difference between social class. He portrays a difficult picture of the public health situation in the II half of the XIX century and he traced the people's daily life. The authors think that it’s important nowadays that the centenary of Verga’s death is the opportunity to read his works, also from a medical historical point of view.

description: This study was to investigate some biological aspects of commercially important fishes of Lake Ardibo which was conducted on monthly basis from October 2013 to September 2017 to know Length-weight relationships, sex ratios and size at first maturity of Oreochromis niloticus and Cyprinus carpio. Gillnets of different mesh sizes (6, 8, 10 and 12 stretched mesh size) were used to sample the fishes. Total length (TL) and total body weight (TW) of all species were measured to the nearest 0.1 cm and 1 g, respectively. The results of the study showed that the length-weight relationships for O. niloticus (TW = 0.020TL2.934; n = 243; r2 = 0.936) and for C. carpio (TW = 0.019TL2.845; n = 1436; r2 = 0.927) and showed a curvilinear relationship, signifying the fishes growth were negative allometric growth, O. niloticus have significant difference between sexes (2, P<0.05), However C. carpio was insignificant at (2, P > 0.05) and the size at first sexual maturity (L50) for O. niloticus of females 16.5 cm and 15.4 cm for males and for C. carpio of females 19.23 cm and 19.24 cm for males, respectively. By using the fish growth parameters the Study Lake Fishes were found in poor condition with compared to the fishes that exist in other water bodies in Ethiopia. During our exploratory survey the unregulated open access resource use and uncoordinated water resources development activities were performed which cause degradation of other natural resources in general and fish resources in particular.

description: We show that irreducible unitary representations of nilpotent super Lie groups can be obtained by induction from a distinguished class of sub super Lie groups. These sub super Lie groups are natural analogues of polarizing subgroups that appear in classical Kirillov theory. We obtain a concrete geometric parametrization of irreducible unitary representations by nonnegative definite coadjoint orbits. As an application, we prove an analytic generalization of the Stone-von Neumann theorem for Heisenberg-Clifford super Lie groups.

We mimic these systems with the $q$-states Potts model on a square lattice with and without weak quenched disorder, and their evolution with Monte Carlo simulations with non-conserved order parameter. We analyze the distribution of hull enclosed areas for different initial conditions and compare our results with recent exact and numerical findings for $q=2$ (Ising) case. Our results demonstrate the memory of the presence or absence of long-range correlations in the initial state during the coarsening regime and exhibit super-universality properties.

Year: 2018

description: This review paper was done with the objectives of reviewing poultry coccidiosis and highlighting its economic impact on poultry production sector. Coccidiosis is the most important protozoan disease of poultry which is caused by the intracellular parasite of genus Emeria and resulting in significant economic losses worldwide. This disease is endemic in most of the tropical and subtropical regions of the world and transmitted through feco-oral route. It commonly affects young chickens and chickens managed under intensive system. Poultry coccidiosis is characterized by bloody diarrhea, ruffled feathers, dehydration and paleness of comb clinically and thickening of intestine, hemorrhage and necrotic enteritis at the specific site of intestine of chickens during necropsy depending on the species of Emeria involved. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs, coprology and post mortem examination routinely though various biochemical and molecular methods have also been used in recent years. Different anticoccidial and sulfa drugs are available for treatment and prevention although drug resistance becomes a major problem recently. It can be prevented and controlled by good managemental practices, prophylaxis, vaccination and immunization of chickens, selection of genetically resistant chickens and use of natural feed additives. Coccidiosis causes huge economic losses mainly due to production losses and costs of treatment or prevention. It is concluded that poultry coccidiosis is still the most important protozoan disease of poultry and have a great economic impact worldwide; and good managemental practices including good hygiene and bio security measures should be applied for the control and prevention of the disease.

description: Introduction. The Coronavirus disease 2019 caused by a new Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) throughout the pandemic period has been characterised by a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, courses, and outcomes. In particular, most patients with severe or critical symptoms re-quired hospitalization. The demographic and clinical characteristics of patients upon admission to the hospital, as well as pre-existing medical conditions, seem to have affected the clinical out-come. Predictive factors of inauspicious outcome in non-Intensive Care Unit hospitalized patients were investigated. Methods. A retrospective, single-centre, observational study of 239 patients with confirmed COVID-19 disease admitted during the first waves of the pandemic to the Infectious Disease Operative Unit of a hospital in Southern Italy was conducted. Demographic characteristics, under-lying diseases, and clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings were collected from the patient’s medical records. Information about in-hospital medications, days of admission, and out-come were also considered. Inferential statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the association between patients' characteristics upon hospital admission and during in-hospital length of stay and death. Results. Mean age was 67.8 ± 15.8 years; 137/239 (57.3%) patients were males, and 176 (73.6%) had at least one comorbidity. More than half of patients (55.3%) suffered from hypertension. The length of stay in hospital was 16.5 ± 9.9 days and mortality rate of 12.55%. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, predictors of mortality of COVID-19 patients included age (OR, 1.09; CI, 1.04 - 1.15), Chronic Kidney Disease (OR, 4.04; CI,1.38 - 11.85), and need of High Flow Oxygen therapy (OR, 18.23; CI, 5.06 - 65.64). Conclusions. Patients who died in the hospital had shorted length of stay than that of the surviving patients. Older age, pre-existent chronic renal disease and need of supplemental oxygen represented independent predictors of mortality in patients hospitalized in non-Intensive Care Unit with COVID-19. The determination of these factors allows retrospectively a greater understanding of the disease also in comparison with the successive epidemic waves.

description: Wheat is one of the most important cereal crop grown in the highland areas of Wollo. The grain yield remains extremmly low as compared to other wheat grower countries due to different production constraints like the use of low yielder varieties across different agro-ecologies of the country. The objective of the study was to identify stable and high yielding, early maturing bread wheat genotypes for moisture stress conditions. Sixteen bread wheat genotypes including the standard and local checks were evaluated using Randomized Complete Block Design at Geregera, Kon, Dihana and Lalibela during 2010 and 2011 main cropping seasons. The genotypes were evaluated using different yield related traits like days to heading and maturity, plant height, biomass yield, grain yield and 1000 kernels weight. Data were analyzed using additive main effects and a multiplicative interaction and genotype by environment interactions biplot stability measuring techniques, grain yield stability performances of genotypes. The results revealed that “Vorobeycmss96y02555-040Y-020m” genotype was the best among the tested genotypes on its earliness, gave high yield (3341 Kg ha-1). The selected genotype (Vorobeycmss96y02555-040Y-020m) showed yield advantage of 18.4% and 36.6% over recently released variety and farmers’ variety, respectively. This variety was highly adaptable to moisture deficit areas and resistant to yellow rust. In conclusion, this variety was suitable for moisture deficit wheat growing areas and recommended in the tested districts and similar agro ecological zones of the region in particular and in the country in general.

description: Introduction: After COVID-19 outbreak, governments adopted several containment measures. Risk perception and knowledge may play a crucial role since they can affect compliance with preventive measures. This study aimed to explore the extent and the associated factors of risk perception, knowledge regarding SARS-CoV2, and perception towards preventive measures among the Italian population. Methods: A nationwide cross-sectional study involving adults was conducted in April-May 2021: an online survey was distributed through social media. The outcomes were: Knowledge Score (KS) (0 to 100%: higher scores correspond to higher COVID-19-related knowledge); Risk Perception Score (RPS) (1 to 4: higher values indicate higher concern); Preventive measures Perception Score (PPS) (1 to 4: higher values indicate higher confidence). Multivariable regression models were performed. Results: A total of 1120 participants were included. Median KS was 79.5% (IQR=72.7%-86.4%). Lower education and poor economic conditions were negatively associated with the KS. Median RPS was 2.8 (IQR=2.4-3.2). Female gender, sharing house with a fragile person, suffering from a chronic disease, having a family member/close friend who contracted SARS-CoV-2 infection were positively associated with the RPS. Median PPS was 3.1 (IQR=2.8-3.4). Lower educational level was negatively associated with the PPS. Vaccine hesitancy was negatively associated with all three outcomes. The three scores were positively associated with each other. Conclusions: Fair levels of knowledge, risk perception and perception towards preventive measures were reported. Reciprocal relationships between the outcomes and a relevant relationship with vaccine hesitancy were highlighted. Further investigations should be focused on studying underlying determinants and consequences.

description: Food animals harbor a wide range of Salmonella and so act as sources of contamination. Salmonellosis is more aggravated by the ever increasing rate of antimicrobial resistance species in food animals. This study was aimed at investigating antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella species from slaughtered cattle carcass and slaughter house environment in Dessie municipality abattoir from December 2014 to August 2015. A total of 384 samples were collected, from 128 slaughtered cattle carcass (128 samples) and 256 environmental samples (128 from eviscerating knives and 128 from eviscerating hand) and examined for the presence of Salmonella. Out of 384 samples collected, 19 (4.95%) showed positive results for Salmonella species. From these, 8 (42.11%) of the isolates were Salmonella group-A, 7 (36.84%) Salmonella arizanae and the remaining 4 (21.05%) Salmonella isolates were Salmonella Typhi. All Salmonella isolates were tested for their susceptibility to 9 selected antimicrobial agents by the Kirby-Bauer disc-diffusion method. Salmonella isolates in this study were highly resistant to cefoxitin 13 (68.4%) followed by ampicillin 12 (63.2%). About 94.7% of the isolated Salmonella species were resistant to one or more antibiotic agents. However, all isolates (100%) were sensitive to ciprofloxacin, co-trimoxazole and gentamicin. Consumer aware on proper cooking of meat and meat products before consumption, and restricting, discriminate and appropriate use of antibiotics in the food animal industry were solutions to reduce the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance Salmonella in slaughtered cattle carcass and slaughter house environment.

description: We address the question how string compactifications with D-branes are consistent with the black hole bound, which arises in any theory with number of particle species to which the black holes can evaporate. For the Kaluza-Klein particles, both longitudinal and transversal to the D-branes, it is relatively easy to see that the black hole bound is saturated, and the geometric relations can be understood in the language of species-counting. We next address the question of the black hole evaporation into the higher string states and discover, that contrary to the naive intuition, the exponentially growing number of Regge states does not preclude the existence of semi-classical black holes of sub-stringy size. Our analysis indicates that the effective number of string resonances to which such micro black holes evaporate is not exponentially large but is bounded by N = 1/g_s^2, which suggests the interpretation of the well-known relation between the Planck and string scales as the saturation of the black hole bound on the species number. In addition, we also discuss some other issues in D-brane compactifications with a low string scale of order TeV, such as the masses of light moduli fields.
