description: Mango (Mangifera indica Linn) fruits weigh from small to large about 1 kg in some cultivars. It easily ripens within 6 months, turn reddish and ready for consumption. Most of the produced mango fruit can be consumed fresh and less amount (less than 2%) of it become processed to different products including juice. During processing of mango fruit for consumption, large quantity of mango by- products which can be used as animal feeds and some important antioxidants can be produced. Mango seed kernel (MSK) is a by-product of mango used for both human and animal consumption after several treatment options. In mango fruit, MSK constitutes about 45% to 75% of the whole seed. Mango seed kernel composes greater amount of carbohydrate, protein, fiber, fat, amino acids, important anti-oxidants and minerals comparable to maize. Mango seed kernel contains some important acids which can be fractionated in to the different oils and used in chocolate making by replacing some forms of butter in developed countries. Although MSK is cheap and contains high amount of metabolizable energy, MKS is rich in anti-nutritional factors like tannin which is difficult for animals to consume. However, research reports showed that effective treatment methods like boiling, soaking and drying reduced the anti-nutrient to the level safe for both ruminants and monogastric animals. It is concluded that MKS is a potential energy feed resource for farm animals and inclusion of mango seed kernel up to 25% in layer, up to 30% in broiler nutrition and up to 40-60% in ruminants nutrition has no detrimental effect, profitable and can be best alternative feed sources if well treated by using the best technical methods of anti-nutritional factors reduction like boiling. Mango seed kernel, which is the byproducts of Mango fruit, can be obtained during processing of mango fruit either for industrial in factory or direct use at home. Although different countries have been producing large amount of mango fruit, there is a huge MSK which is about 60% of the whole fruit weight. So these huge amount of by products are left at vicinity without any use and causing environmental pollution, which is a health hazards for human life in general. On another hand there is increasing human population in the world and these demands animal products like meat, milk, egg and the like, but there is shortage of conventional feed resources for feeding these demands and needs additional sources like using MSK after treating it by using recommended technologies. So mobilizing of such wastes has beneficial for public interest in that, it can fill the feed scarcity gap and also minimize environmental pollution as waste disposal mechanism.

Notes. The genus name has been incorrectly spelled as Mummulus by some authors. The genus name Nummulus Berlese, 1884 is a junior homonym of Nummulus Wahlenberg, 1821 (Brachiopoda), and has apparently not been replaced. Nummulus Berlese, 1884 is an objective junior synonym of Cilliba von Heyden, 1826.

description: Keratosis palmoplantaris striata type I (SPPK-I) is a rare autosomal-dominant type of hereditary epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma, which can be caused by mutations in desmoglein-1 (DSG-1). Patients suffer from hyperkeratotic plaques and painful palmoplantar fissures. Unfortunately, treatment options including salicylic vaseline, topical corticosteroids, phototherapy, and retinoids are inefficient.

Hereditary palmoplantar keratodermas (PPKs) represent a heterogeneous group of rare skin disorders with epidermal palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. Mutations in the desmoglein 1 gene (DSG1), a transmembrane glycoprotein, have been reported primarily in striate PPKs. We report a patient with keratosis palmoplantaris striata type I (SPPK-I) with a specific pathogenic variant [c.349C>T, p.(Arg117*)] in DSG1. Despite increased understanding, effective treatment options for PPK, including SPPK-I, remain limited.

description: Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne bacterial pathogen known to cause a burden on human health and food safety globally. Regardless of the few available studies on Listeria monocytogenes, there is no comprehensive evidence of its prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility in Ethiopia. We conducted to estimate the pooled prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Listeria monocytogenes from various sources in Ethiopia. The study was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) Checklist. The quality of the studies was assessed based on the Newcastle–Ottawa scale. We found 18 studies that fit our inclusion criteria. Results were synthesized with random-effects meta-analyses and meta-regressions to evaluate heterogeneity between studies. The pooled prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes from various sources in Ethiopia was 4.2% (95% CI, 2.13, 6.22). The pooled prevalence was higher in human subjects 6.4% (95% CI, 0.27–15.6) when compared to animals 4.7% (95% CI, −0.40 to 9.1) and foods of animal origin 5.1% (95% CI, 0.42–10.6). Higher rate of resistance of Listeria monocytogenes against tetracycline (72.7%), amoxicillin (63.7%), nalidixic acid (63.6%), penicillin (63.6%), and cephalothin (54.5%) was observed. The prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes and the occurrence of resistant isolates in different source populations warn of a potential future threat to public health. Hence, increasing public awareness and designing effective policies and disease control measures are strongly recommended.

description: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder that is now commonly treated with cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators. Typical adverse events comprise new onset (drug-induced) acneiform eruption as well as worsening of pre-existing acne vulgaris. We present a case report of a young adult with rapid CFTR-modulator-induced worsening of pre-existing acne vulgaris refractory to minocycline treatment, which resolved within 8 months of low dose isotretinoin therapy. Monthly laboratory monitoring of liver function, lipid levels and blood count were unremarkable in this case. The optimal treatment of acne vulgaris in CF-patients and the management of drug-induced acne remain a challenge. The latter may jeopardize drug adherence. CFTR-modulators might be capable to induce acneiform skin lesions by altering electrolyte concentrations and sweat production with subsequential changes of the microbiome and follicular inflammatory response. The exact mechanism remains elusive at this point and warrants further investigation.

description: BACKGROUND: Microglia play crucial roles in maintaining neuronal homeostasis but have been implicated in contributing to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). However, the role of microglia in ALS/FTD remains incompletely understood. METHODS: Here, we generated highly enriched cultures of VCP mutant microglia derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to investigate their cell autonomous and non-cell autonomous roles in ALS pathogenesis. We used RNA-sequencing, proteomics and functional assays to study hiPSC derived VCP mutant microglia and their effects on hiPSC derived motor neurons and astrocytes. RESULTS: Transcriptomic, proteomic and functional analyses revealed immune and lysosomal dysfunction in VCP mutant microglia. Stimulating healthy microglia with the inflammatory inducer lipopolysaccharide (LPS) showed partial overlap with VCP mutant microglia in their reactive transformation. LPS-stimulated VCP mutant microglia displayed differential activation of inflammatory pathways compared with LPS-stimulated healthy microglia. Conserved gene expression changes were identified between VCP mutant microglia, SOD1 mutant mice microglia, and postmortem ALS spinal cord microglial signatures, including increased expression of the transmembrane glycoprotein GPNMB. While knockdown of GPNMB affected inflammatory and phagocytosis processes in microglia, this was not sufficient to ameliorate cell autonomous phenotypes in VCP mutant microglia. Secreted factors from VCP mutant microglia were sufficient to activate the JAK-STAT pathway in hiPSC derived motor neurons and astrocytes. CONCLUSIONS: VCP mutant microglia undergo cell autonomous reactive transformation involving immune and lysosomal dysfunction that partially recapitulate key phenotypes of microglia from other ALS models and post mortem tissue. These phenotypes occur independently of GPNMB. Additionally, VCP mutant microglia elicit non cell autonomous responses in motor neurons and astrocytes involving the JAK-STAT pathway.

description: During transport from farms to abattoirs, animals may be subjected to un-favorable conditions leading to a compromise of animal welfare and reduced meat quality. The impact of pre-slaughter handling and transportation on animal welfare and beef quality was investigated in relation to Dendi and Welmara districts markets and abattoirs. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to gather detailed information on the pre-, during-, and post-slaughter processes from 200 respondents. 70 meat swab samples were collected from desirable animal parts to determine the microbial load, and 100 beef samples were used to evaluate the pH value. The majority of animals (55.9%) were transported via trekking, with 70% not receiving feed or water during transportation. Approximately 47% of beef was classified as Dark, Firm, and Dry (DFD) and was spoiled with microbial growth. The pH value of the meat was significantly affected by the distance traveled during transportation and the mode of transportation (P = 0.001). The mean log of the bacterial count of the sampled meat was 5.84-CFU log/100cm2, with the mean microbial load being statistically different (P < 0.05). Our findings suggest that animal welfare and beef quality were compromised due to stressful transportation, pre- and post-slaughter procedures, lack of facilities in marketing areas, and a poor abattoir system. Therefore, it is vitally necessary to issue relevant declarations, and legislation, and provide training on animal welfare awareness to various stakeholders.

description: Cancer diagnosis is critical in selecting optimal treatment modalities and improving patient outcomes. Tumormarkers are often detected in blood samples and aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of many forms of cancere.g. alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9)etc(1). Elevated AFP levels suggest the existence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and certain germ cellcancers, making it valuable for early identification, treatment response assessment, and prognosis prediction.CEA is a tumor marker that is typically increased in colorectal, lung, breast, and pancreatic cancer. CEA levelscan be used to identify cancer recurrence, assess therapy response, and predict prognosis. Combining CEA withother diagnostic modalities is frequently used to improve its diagnostic accuracy. CA 19-9 is predominantlylinked to pancreatic cancer, and increased levels are found in the vast majority of people with this disease. CA19-9 assists in the diagnosis, staging, and follow up of pancreatic carcinoma.

description: Objectives
Olfactory habituation is a transient decrease in olfactory sensitivity caused by prolonged odor exposure, aiding in the discernment of new olfactory stimuli against the background. We explored the impact of subclinical olfactory impairment on odor habituation using age as a proxy.
Methods
Before the actual experiment, the individual olfactory threshold for the rose-like odorant phenylethyl alcohol (PEA) was assessed separately for the left and right nostril using the “Sniffin’ Sticks” test, and ratings for odor intensity and pleasantness were collected. After applying a nasal clip continuously delivering PEA odor to one nostril for 10 min and 2 h, respectively, threshold, intensity, and pleasantness were reassessed immediately after clip removal.
Results
In the group of 80 participants (younger adults-mean age 27.7 ± 4.5 years; older adults-mean age 61.5 ± 4.7 years), olfactory thresholds were already significantly elevated after just 10 min, and this habituation was even more pronounced after 2 h. This effect could be observed bilaterally even though significantly more distinct on the exposed side. Older participants generally exhibited a more pronounced habituation on the exposed side after 2 h compared to the younger participants.
Conclusion
The results indicate that older people experience more notable habituation after extended exposure to odors. This is most likely due to the compromised olfactory function in age. Although older and younger subjects scored in the normosmic range when tested with standardized olfactory tests, the stress on the system after exposure to an odor clearly revealed the lower functionality of the aging sense of smell.

description: Ethiopia is rich in durum wheat diversity; however, national average productivity of durum wheat is low due to lack of strong national research program, and these calls for development of improved new varieties. Knowledge on extent of genetic variability and identification of important characters are a prerequisite for the development yielder and quality variety. Therefore, the present study was carried out to assess the extent of genetic variability and character association among yield and yield related traits in selected Ethiopian durum wheat landraces. Forty nine durum wheat accessions were studied for 20 traits at Sinana and Selka locations by using 7 × 7 simple lattice design in 2018/19. Combined analysis of variance revealed significant differences among accessions for all traits, indicating the presence of considerable variability among genotypes. A significant accession by locations interaction effect was observed which indicates differential performance of genotypes over environments. Protein content varied from 10.7%–16.7% with the overall mean of 13.5%. Also phenotypic coefficients of variation (PCV) ranged from 2.93 for hectoliter weight (HLW) to 27.08 for productive tillers (PTL) while, genotypic coefficients of variation (GCV) ranged from 0 for wet gluten (WGL) to 16.43 for vitreous (VTR). Low to high heritability was observed for the studied traits. Similarly, genetic advance as percent of mean varied from −0.20–31.24. High broad sense heritability and high genetic advance were obtained for grain yield (GY) (86.57 and 31.24) and vitreous (VTR) (75.76 and 29.39), respectively, indicating traits could be improved easily through selection. Overall, the present study revealed that there is sufficient variability existed in Ethiopian durum wheat landraces. Updating better yielding varieties and using recommended managements can improve productivity of the crops. Varieties should be evaluated under different environments and confirmed for their adaptation by National Variety Releasing Committee before disseminating to a large community, which is a usual practice that has been conducted in the research ethics. This is due to varying environment affecting crop adaptation. In this study, therefore, different accessions were evaluated and characters were identified for specific objective which will be used for crossing purpose for the improvement of durum wheat.

Investigating impacts of river impairment through fish sampling
Creators: name: Tracy, Erin
Publisher: name: QUBES Educational Resources
Year: 2024

description: River ecosystems provide a variety of benefits to the environment and society including supporting large amounts of biodiversity and providing services such as drinking water, transportation, and recreation. However, these ecosystems are also sensitive to human disturbances such as the construction of dams, land development, and water diversions, which negatively impact the fish populations they support. This lesson will guide students through the process of planning, sampling, and analyzing fisheries data from rivers with different levels of impairment, in this case from dam impacts. Through this field and lab experience, students will learn how to collect fish by seine net, identify and measure fish, and analyze data to answer big picture questions about the impacts of dams on river systems with a focus on fish communities. This lesson is recommended for 5-30 students with at least 1 (ideally 2) 2–3 hour field visit to conduct sampling and a 1-2 hour pre and post class to prepare for field sampling and then analyze data.

description: Adopting sustainable intensification technologies improves the productivity, incomes, and livelihoods of small farm households; however, their adoption remains disproportionately low. Although soil, climate and vegetative cover are important factors in determining the viability of sustainable intensification technologies in agronomic trials or field experiments, they are rarely considered in socio-economic analyses of smallholder adoption decisions. Using agroecological zones as proxies for similar soil, climate, and vegetation conditions in two agroecological zones in northern Ghana, we examined their effects on smallholder farmers’ decisions to adopt sustainable intensification technologies. We applied a multistage sampling technique to obtain data from 461 small farm households in the Sudan savannah and Guinea savannah agroecological zones. We observed a statistically significant difference in the covariates of adopters and non-adopters of sustainable intensification technologies in terms of age (6.389, p < 0.010), education (0.106, p < 0.010), group membership (0.648, p < 0.010), access to extension services (1.274, p < 0.010) and access to credit (GH¢52.436, p < 0.010). The odds of sustainable intensification technologies adoption depend on age, number of agricultural extension visits, group or farmer-based organisation membership, education and agroecological factors (2.140, p < 0.050). The study provides an opportunity for future research to consider the inclusion of farm-level measurement of agroecological variables in explaining the adoption behaviour of small farm households.

ZooBank: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: AC071DFD-EF46-4149-BB3D-3835FD5B2A47
TYPE SPECIES: Trigona argyrea Cockerell, 1912.
DIAGNOSIS: The new subgenus can be distinguished by the following combination of features: mandible virtually edentate (as in Scaura s.str.); malar space shorter than flagellar diameter (as in Scaura s.str.); gena in profile narrower than compound eye (as in Scaura s.str.); metabasitarsus as wide as or wider than metatibia (as in Scaura s.str.); metasoma subtriangular, length 1.5× width (as in Schwarzula); metasomal tergum VI with white setae (as in Schwarzula); penis valves not strongly arched apically (pronouncedly arched apically in Schwarzula and Scaura s.str.). In addition, brood cells are arranged in horizontal discs rather than the irregular or columnar arrangements of Schwarzula and Scaura s.str.
ETYMOLOGY: The new subgeneric name is a combination of Scaura Schwarz (Latin, scaurus, meaning, “with a clubfoot”, as a reference to the expanded metabasitarsus) and the Latin suffix – āceus (meaning, “belonging to” or “having the nature of”). The gender of the name is feminine.
INCLUDED SPECIES: Scaura amazonica Nogueira, F. Oliveira, & M. Oliveira; S. argyrea (Cockerell); S. aspera Nogueira & M. Oliveira; S. atlantica Melo; and S. cearensis Nogueira, Santos Júnior, & M. Oliveira.

description: Genus Geotrigona Moure
The genus Geotrigona Moure includes 22 species of small, robust, short-legged, typically black or dark brown species of stingless bees occurring from southern Mexico to northern Argentina (Michener, 2007; Gonzalez & Engel, 2012). As the name implies, where known species nest in the cavities in the ground. Gonzalez & Engel (2012) provided a key to the species. Here the genus is organized into two subgenera.
1. Metatibia with apical margin rounding continuously to broadly rounded superior distal curve, not projected into a distinct angle or tooth before superior angle; apical margin straight or weakly concave ........... Geotrigona Moure, s.str.
—. Metatibia with apical margin distinctly projecting into an angle or tooth before superior angle; apical margin, between apex of tooth and penicillum, deeply concave ............................................................................. Chthonotrigona, n. subgen.

description: A field study was conducted in Dire and Legedadi watersheds in the humid mid-highlands of Ethiopia to determine the effect of intercropping and application of vermicompost (VC) on crop yield. Eight treatments (two treatments included 100% recommended NPS and urea fertilizer treatment versus 100% recommended VC application. The four other treatments are combinations of 50% of recommended NPS and urea and the 50% of VC rate of applications) were studied on farmers’ fields using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The assessment of these treatments relied on a range of intercropping and agronomic performance metrics, including the land equivalent ratio (LER), crowding coefficient (K), marginal rate of return (MRR). Results revealed that the highest total wheat yield of 4000 kg ha−1 in Dire and 4151.7 in Legedadi site, achieved from the application of 100% recommended NPS + urea fertilizers. Wheat–faba bean intercropped with 50% NPS + Urea and 50% VC added treatment resulted in higher agronomic and recovery efficiency (RE) of N (41.0% and 41.9%) and (124.8% and 126.7%), K (2.91 and 2.38), LER (1.89 and 1.49), system productivity index (5672.02 and 4423.80) and net benefits (US$ 5598.1 ha−1, 5690.8 ha−1) values in Dire and Legedadi sites, respectively. Wheat–faba bean intercropped with half dose NPS + urea and VC added treatment was cost-effective and had the biggest yield advantage in both research locations.

description: Native adlay flour lacks the characteristics that give it grittiness when applied to food products, which can be improved by flour modifications using the fermentation method. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of new gluten-free cookies made from native and modified adlay flours and compare them to those made from wheat flour. Adlay flour was modified by fermentation using various Rhizopus sp. inoculum concentrations: 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% (w/w). The modified adlay flour using 1.5% (w/w) Rhizopus sp. inoculum was selected for application in making gluten-free cookies because of its most suitable characteristics, including lower pasting temperature, resistance to retrogradation, good thermal stability, and favorable functional properties such as high swelling volume, solubility, and water and oil absorption capacities. In making cookies, the treatments were the type of flour used, namely native adlay flour cookies (NAFC), modified adlay flour cookies (MAFC), and wheat flour cookies (WFC) as a control. All cookies were made using the same recipe; the only difference was the type of flour used. The results showed that MAFC has higher fat and crude fiber however lower protein content than WFC. The MAFC was not significantly different (p ≥ 0.05) from WFC in hardness and fracturability. The sensory evaluation showed that MAFC did not have significant differences (p ≥ 0.05) in texture, mouthfeel, aftertaste, and overall acceptance compared to WFC. Fermentation modification of adlay flour can eliminate grittiness in gluten-free cookies.

description: The absence of occupational health and safety practices as well as hygiene system in the kitchens of senior high schools contributes to the low-quality food served to students at some Senior High Schools (SHS) in Ghana. This study assessed occupational health and safety (OHS) practices among kitchen staff of selected SHS in the Ho Municipality. Data for the study was obtained from interviews with respondents and field observations. The results revealed that kitchen staff are exposed to different kinds of hazards such as safety hazards, biological hazards, physical hazards, ergonomic hazards and psychological hazards. It was also found that OHS practices in the kitchens were non-existent. Furthermore, the study identified physical, logistics, managerial, and training challenges associated with compliance to occupational health and safety practices in these schools. The study therefore concludes that inadequate OHS practices has negative implications on the food quality served to students in schools.
