The study was cross-sectional and correlational. The research population comprised all individuals with borderline personality disorder who visited specialized psychiatric clinics across Tehran in the year 2023, totaling 218 individuals. Using convenience sampling, 200 individuals were selected as the sample and responded to research instruments, including the Family Functioning Questionnaire (Epstein et al., 1980) and the Suicide Ideation Questionnaire (Beck et al., 1979). Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient tests, and multiple regression analysis via SPSS-v26. Findings indicated a significant negative correlation between family functioning and suicidal behavior among individuals with borderline personality disorder (r = -0.545, p < 0.002). Furthermore, regression analysis revealed that among the family functioning components, problem-solving skills (β = -0.209, p < 0.05) had the highest explanatory power for suicidal behavior in patients with borderline personality disorder. In contrast, roles (β = -0.060, p < 0.05) had the lowest explanatory power. According to the research findings, focusing on the precursors of suicidal behavior is crucial in healthcare facilities to improve overall well-being and mitigate risky behaviors among individuals with borderline personality disorder.","PeriodicalId":214462,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Pure and Applied Biosciences","volume":"168 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141375897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays digital games are so famous in our country. So doing this work isn't a big deal, even if we ran into some issues. The majority of the young population is addicted to this type of digital game and spends hours and hours playing it. So social and family bonding is losing its value. Social interaction is crucial for individuals; however, excessive engagement of the younger generation in virtual environments hinders their ability to effectively interact with others in society, including their own families. We cannot see the previous cultural activity in society because of digital gaming. To fulfill the purpose of the research, we had many problems. It is difficult for us to get data from 150 internet gamers. We gather data through a Google form. For our research, not only the gamers but also their family members and his/her surroundings people's opinion matters. So, we collected the statements from their family members, their friend's other society members. The survey revealed a significant increase in gaming addiction, leading to strong preoccupation that hinders communication with family members, and participation in social activities, and potentially contributes to an increase in criminal behavior.","PeriodicalId":214462,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Pure and Applied Biosciences","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134502449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The market value of milk depends on the amount of yield and content of fat in milk. Breed or genetic factors are mostly correlated with the production rate and fat content in milk. For example, Jersey breed cattle have the highest fat and protein percentage in milk than other breeds. But the quality of milk also depends on other dietary factors such as crude fiber and crude protein content of the diet. Fermentation of crude fiber in the rumen produces large amounts of acetic acid and butyric acid which act as a derivative of milk fat. Milk protein concentration depends on the crude protein level in the diet. In this study milk and feed samples were collected from eight dairy farms at Chattogram Metropolitan Area to investigate the dietary effect on milk composition. The highest fat, SNF percentage, and protein percentage of the milk sample were founded in the case of the Munna dairy farm in which the crude fiber level and crude protein level of the feed sample were higher than other dairy farms. The lowest fat, SNF percentage, and protein percentage of the milk sample were founded in the case of the Moinuddin dairy farm in which the crude fiber level of the feed sample was lowest but the level of crude protein in the feed sample was near to Munna dairy farm. A better amount of crude protein in the feed sample was founded in the case of the Moinuddin dairy farm. But due to mastitis and a poor management system, the protein content of milk in this farm was poor.","PeriodicalId":214462,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Pure and Applied Biosciences","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131659051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this current research, 32 samples were randomly collected from 8 ostriches at different ages, of which 8 were oropharyngeal, 8 were cloacal swabs, 8 were environmental sand samples, and 8 were feces samples. In addition, the bacteria were isolated and identified by using standard microbiological methods, including cultural, biochemical and molecular techniques. 16S rRNA gene was used to detect Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. molecularly. The Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method was used to determine the antibiotic sensitivity test. Out of 32 samples, E. coli 8 (53.33%) and Salmonella spp. 7 (46.67%) were identified in young ostrich, while in adult ostrich, E. coli 2 (40%) and Salmonella spp. 3 (60%) were detected. According to our study, E. coli was the most predominant isolate found in cloacal swabs and ostrich feces. Escherichia coli were most sensitive to Amoxicillin and Azithromycin (100%), followed by Kanamycin, Chloramphenicol and Gentamicin (75%), while 100% resistant to Piperacillin, Bacitracin, Tetracycline, Cloxacillin, Novobiocin, Cefixime. Salmonella spp. was 100% sensitive to Azithromycin and also 100% resistant to Tetracycline, Piperacillin, Bacitracin, Chloramphenicol and Methicillin. Our research concluded that E. coli and Salmonella spp. are multi-drug resistant bacteria, and appropriate antibiotics should be used in ostrich farms to protect the multi-drug resistant bacteria.

The most serious public health issue is knee osteoarthritis, which is caused by aging. It is described as a degenerative joint disease that develops through wear and strain, leading to a continuous decline in articular cartilage, functional limitations, impairment, and eventually a reduction in a person's standard of lifestyle. Around ten percent of people older than 60 frequently are unhappy of this medical condition. While 37 percent of Americans aged 60 or older have osteoarthritis of the knee that has been identified. The rate of knee joint osteoarthritis is predicted to increase near forty percent by 2025 as a result of the growth of the worldwide population. Gender, age, trauma, excessive use, hereditary disorders, and other variables all contribute to the issue getting worsened. In terms of functional ability, discomfort, and functional constraint, the study found that participants with knee osteoarthritis had a poor standard of life. Additionally, a direct correlation between the low quality of life and the academic level was discovered. It has been shown that persons with low levels of schooling participate in more physical activities and have greater effects related to this.

In that period, the FMD outbreak was noted at least once in each district of the Zone. The average prevalence of FMD explosions in the district area was 1.12 district year. The prevalence differed among districts, the lowest being in Anchar (0.68/10 district year) & highest in Chiro town (1.77/10 district year) and The long-period tendency of FMD explosions indicated a statistically significant increase over 10 years period (p<0.001). The level of the outbreak reached its peak in March & the low in June to August. The existence of FMD explosion was got to be seasonal whereby the levels of upsurges were relatively high during the hot season. The spatial & temporal disposition identified in this work showed those risky areas that are prone to the contingency of FMD upsurges & the time period in which they predominantly occur. The unregulated & frequent cattle movements could have been the likely basis of the increased level of upsurge contingency during the hot season.
