Intake, digestibility and recovery of grains from feces of steers fed different oilseeds

ABSTRACT Oilseed grains are used as a protein and energy source, increasing the energy density of the feed. The goal of the present study was to determine the nutritional profile of canola, crambe and soybean grains recovered from feces, and to evaluate the intake and digestibility of nutrients, rumen fermentation parameters of beef cattle receiving whole grains of oilseeds. Three steers, 350 ± 23.5 kg body weight were distributed in a not contemporary, 3 × 3 double Latin square, and fed oilseed grains. Inclusion of crambe grain reduced dry matter intake by 21.02%, with a higher digestibility coefficient for EE and NDF. The crude protein content of canola and crambe grains recovered were similar, but the EE content was higher for the crambe grain (26.46%). Soybean showed the lowest values of chemical composition for grains recovered from feces. The highest dry matter intake (7.86 kg/day), and the lowest NDF digestibility (0.203g/kg), were found for animals fed soybean. The inclusion of crambe grains reduced the rumen ammonia content (10.97 mg/dL); however, the ruminal pH was not altered by the inclusion of grains in the diet. Canola and soybean grains can be included in the cattle diet without altering dry matter intake; while the inclusion of crambe grains reduces the dry matter intake and the ruminal ammonia content of the animals. Crambe grain showed the highest recovery of dry matter and ether extract from feces.
Character Education via Guidance and Counseling Service During Covid-19 Pandemic

Educating student characters through guidance and counseling during the Covid-19 outbreak has been great attention to school counselors. This study aims to explore the focus of school counselors in providing character education via guidance and counseling services to students during learning from home as impact of corona viruses pandemic. 91 junior high and high school counselors participated as respondents in this descriptive study. School counselors completed questionnaire containing demographic information and focus of character education services before and during the pandemic. The results showed that most of the school counselors still supported on the importance of character education through guidance and counseling services and made it part of their program. Student characters that has become the focus of school counselors before and during the Covid-19 pandemic remained the same but there were slight differences in the priority.
ON THE INFLUENCE OF BANKING RELATIONSHIPS ON FRENCH SMES FAILURE

Small and medium firms are highly dependent on banks to finance their business activities. Thus, banking relationship may be crucial to overcome financial difficulties and to ensure their continuity. Accordingly, this paper investigates the influence of banking relationship on SMEs failure. In particular, four measures that firms can control to build their banking relationships and, that resemble standard variables from the literature on bank/firms relationships are evaluated: the breadth of relationships (number of banks), the relationship length(relationship duration), the relationship proximity (bank-firm distance) and, the relationship form (type of bank). Applying a logistic regression to a unique sample of 4960 French SME firms over the period 2013-2016, we evidence that banking relationships have a significant role on the SMEs likelihood of failure. More precisely, we find that multibank relationships, working with a small bank and relationship length are significantly negative correlated with SMEs failure. The opposite effect appears in bank-firm distance, which increases the SMEs probability of failure. Additionally, a corporate failure prediction model was built based on both financial ratios and banking relationship variables. The performance of this model was compared to a model based solely on financial ratios as predictive indicators. The results indicate that banking relationship variables possess prediction power to failure and enhance the performance of corporate failure models. Consequently, our findings are important from a policy perspective to further comprehend the role that banks play on SMEs failure.
The effect of specific emotions on conformity

Various factors can impact the level to which people conform to other? s. An important, yet unanswered question is how emotions could influence conformity levels. We predicted that specific emotions, which embody an underlying appraisal of uncertainty about the world, would lead people to feel more uncertain and subsequently more susceptible to others? influence. To test this hypothesis, participants (N = 78) induced to feel sad, happy or angry had to perform a highly ambiguous numeric estimation task. In half of the trials, participants were presented with additional estimates ostensibly provided by three other individuals, and were left free to use or disregard them when completing the task. As expected, participants in the sadness condition (an emotion associated with a low certainty appraisal) showed more conformity than those in the anger or happiness conditions (emotions associated with a high certainty appraisal). Taken together, our findings suggest that being in an emotional state characterized by uncertainty can increase people? s sensitivity to others? informational influences resulting in a higher level of conformity.
Accumulation of organic matter in some New Zealand soils under permanent pasture: II. Rates of mineralisation of organic matter and the supply of available nutrients

Allophanic soils, compared with non-allophanic soils, are shown to contain more aluminium extractable by oxalate, more organic matter, and higher phosphorus retention capacities, but lower apparent specific rates of mineralisation. This difference in mineralisation rate is considered to be real, to be related to differences in the type of mineral colloid, and may determine the differing organic matter contents found in these soils. Annual rates of immobilisation of nitrogen, sulphur, and phosphorus in organic forms may be quantitatively important when compared with the amounts needed to maintain good pasture growth. Allophanic soils should be ploughed infrequently and shallowly in order to reduce subsequent immobilisation of available nutrients. The cropping of both allophanic and non-allophanic soils, appears to be equally possible provided that the organic matter content is at a near steady-state.
Graphene oxide: a promising carbocatalyst for the regioselective thiocyanation of aromatic amines, phenols, anisols and enolizable ketones by hydrogen peroxide/KSCN in water

Graphene oxide (GO), as a heterogeneous carbocatalyst, catalyzes the direct thiocyanation of a variety of arenes including aromatic amines, phenols, anisols and carbonyl compounds that possessing α-hydrogen in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and KSCN in water as a green media. This procedure is chemoselective, avoids the use of precious metals and toxic solvents and has a broad substrate scope. Easy removal from the reaction mixture and recyclability with no loss of activity are the key features of graphene oxide in this catalytic system.
Perceived and Actual Knowledge of Cupping Therapy Concepts among Athletic Training Preceptors in CAATE Accredited Programs

Cupping therapy is a therapeutic modality that has been documented as early as 3300BC [1]. By using various means of suction, cupping therapy is employed by clinicians around the world for the purpose of improving blood flow, decreasing pain, increasing range of motion, and increasing function [2-4]. In the 21st century, cupping therapy has grown in popularity in the United States and other countries where Western Medicine is practiced [1]. A large amount of this popularity is likely due to increased media interest resulting from elite level athletes receiving cupping therapy [5,6]. Although cupping therapy has increased in popularity as a treatment option in the United States, there is still no consensus on the ideal parameters for prescribing and applying cupping therapy to either amateur or professional athletes [1]. This lack of consensus can be attributed in part to a lack of high quality studies and a lack of standardized methodology [4,7]. Another potential factor may be skepticism of Eastern Medicine practices in countries that practice primarily Western Medicine [7].
Caputo fractional derivative operational matrices of Legendre and Chebyshev wavelets in fractional delay optimal control

Caputo derivative operational matrices of the arbitrary scaled Legendre and Chebyshev wavelets are introduced by deriving directly from these wavelets. The Caputo derivative operational matrices are used in quadratic optimization of systems having fractional or integer orders differential equations. Using these operational matrices, a new quadratic programming wavelet-based method without doing any integration operation for finding solutions of quadratic optimal control of traditional linear/nonlinear fractional time-delay constrained/unconstrained systems is introduced. General strategies for handling different types of the optimal control problems are proposed.
Biochar Application and Drought Stress Effects on Physiological Characteristics of Silybum marianum

ABSTRACT Soil amending with biochar has been viewed as a sustainable way to improve soil moisture holding capacity. The potential of biochar application to improve water status of crops under drought stress has not been extensively evaluated. In this study, we evaluated the impact of biochar application (0%, 1%, and 2% w/w soil) on some important physiological traits of milk thistle (Silybum marianum L. Gaertn) under moderate and severe drought stress conditions in a controlled environment. Although, the application of biochar at the higher rate slightly improved soil moisture holding capacity, the magnitude of its effect was not sufficient to influence plant performance under drought stress. To get the positive effects of biochar application on milk thistle performance under drought stress, application with higher rates is probably necessary.
A series of post-traumatic midline epidural hematoma and review of the literature

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Supratentorial midline epidural hematoma is rare but challenging in diagnosis and management. Indication for surgery can arise even following hospital admission. Being familiar to the presentation and watching out for direct and indirect signs on axial computed tomography (CT) such as suture diastasis or fracture traversing midline are essential to plan multi-planar CT enabling exact diagnosis including form and mass effect of hematoma. METHODS: Nine patients with midline epidural hematoma including two pediatric patients underwent surgery between 2013 and 2018. Pre-operative and post-operative patient status, radiological features, and surgical technique were analyzed. RESULTS: Four patients had deteriorating consciousness levels and two patients had paraparesis. All had fractures traversing midline and epidural hematomas with significant mass effect. They were operated through separated craniotomies around the midline and midline bone strip was used for dural tenting and as support for natural closure of bone flaps. No post-operative complications were developed. All patients were discharged with Glasgow Outcome Score of 5. CONCLUSION: Because of the rarity of the lesion and small number of patients, definitive conclusions may be misleading but we think that, in experienced hands, midline epidural hematomas can safely be operated on and, preservation of midline bone strip provides easier bleeding control.
Research on Marriage Problems and Countermeasures of Rural Disabled Persons

The problem of disabled people is becoming more and more prominent, especially in the aspect of marriage. Disabled persons are facing difficult marriage, high divorce rate, high rate of widowhood problems. On the basis of reviewing the literature on marriage of disabled persons, the work finds that disabled persons have low self-efficacy, low self-confidence, and insufficient support from their families and communities. Based on the analysis of the main reasons for the marriage of the disabled, this paper proposes that the disabled should improve their self-cognition and build their confidence in life. In addition, family members should pay attention to the needs of marriageable disabled people, and the community should plan friendship activities for disabled people, so as to enhance the possibility of marriage between disabled people.

Spatial Distribution And Determinant Factors Of Birth Interval Among Reproductive Age Group Women, Based On Edhs 2016, Ethiopia, 2019.

Birth interval is time between two successive live births. Ethiopia is one of the populated African countries with total fertility rate of 4.6 and annual population growth rate of 2.6. Short birth intervals (<24 months) contribute to infant and child mortality risks. Currently, in Ethiopia women still have shorter birth intervals and studies addressing its determinants and maps to show the varied spatial distribution are scarce. This study examined individual and community level factors associated with duration of birth interval.Method: Data from the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey undertaken in 2016 was used for this analysis. Data was analyzed using STATA version 14, Arc Map GIS 10.3 and SaTScan. Multilevel Binary Logistic regression models were also used to explain regional inequalities in duration of birth intervals among women of reproductive age.Result: The median birth interval of the study population was 32 months (2.67 years). The result of this study reveals that 1935(25%) of women have intervals shorter than 24 months. Duration of birth interval was associated with index child died, women from highest economic level, women who breastfeed and women aged 45-49. Duration of birth interval had spatial variation across the country. A high proportion of shorter duration of birth interval was identified in Somalia and Affar Regions. Whereas the lower proportion of short birth interval found in Amhara, Tigray and Gambela.Conclusion: In this study both the individual and community level Factors were found to have significant influence on preceding birth interval of children. The spatial effect of duration of birth was captured by the spatial analysis. Additionally dissemination of information about recommended interval and cooperative effort to improve women’s economic independency and decision making power to increase maternal social status has to be conducted.
Understanding Fundamental Processes in TiO₂: Electronic and Interface Properties from First Principles

This work provides a detailed understanding of the behavior of titanium dioxide from an atomistic point of view, by employing state-ofthe-art electronic structure methods. Special attention is paid to the processes that are relevant for renewable energy applications, such as dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) and photocatalytic devices. Different system sizes, defect concentrations and computational strategies have been systematically tested to obtain unbiased results. Investigation of the behavior of excess electrons in the undoped and defect free bulk material confirm charge trapping in the two most common oxide polymorphs (anatase and rutile), with formation of a polaron that extends for several lattice constants in anatase. Electrons are more strongly localized in rutile than in anatase, with an energy difference of 0.5 eV consistently obtained with different methods, including hybrid density functional theory (hybrid DFT) and the random phase approximation (RPA). Computed activation energies for polaron hopping and delocalization clearly show that anatase and rutile might have different charge transport mechanisms: in rutile, only hopping is likely, whereas in anatase hopping and delocalization are competing, resulting in anisotropic conduction-band-like and thus enhanced transport. Interface effects have a substantial impact on the material properties: it is demonstrated that the first subsurface oxide layers retain the full coordination of the bulk environment, but are geometrically less constrained, allowing stabilization of both excess electrons and intercalated species, such as Li+ cations. Subsurface intercalated ions act as pinning centers for adsorbates, and the combined effect of adsorbate pinning and enhanced electron localization constitute a reservoir of shallow trap states in the proximity of the adsorbed donor molecules, likely to facilitate charge transfer mechanisms. Intermolecular interactions are also fundamental, influencing the binding strength and the long term stability of surface adsorbates: the presence of a liquid acetonitrile solvent lowers the activation energy for acetic acid desorption to 0.53 eV, assisting the molecule detachment. The mobility of surface species is also influenced by the presence of neighboring adsorbates, as bridging water molecules or acetate moieties can facilitate the proton transfer on the surface. Comparison of TiO2 and Al2O3 hydrogenation reveal an important difference in the behavior of the two oxides: the H2 molecule is homolitically split on the anatase interface, with electron transfer to the metal cations and creation of a defect state. H2 is instead heterolitically split when Al2O3 is studied, and the reducing moiety remains confined at the oxide interface, with a limited mobility.

A multi-centered, retrospective, descriptive study on 107 dead patients with COVID-19

Since the emergence of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Wuhan city, Hubei Province, China, it has caused thousands of deaths. As the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 around the world, the number of deaths will definitely continue to increase. We aimed to further describe the clinical characteristics of dead cases with COVID-19 through a large sample and multi-centered study and to find some clinical predictors for the deterioration of COVID-19 during the process. Methods One hundred and seven patients (16 patients from Lei Shen-Shan Hospital, 54 patients from Seventh Hospital of Wuhan and 37 patients from Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University) with COVID-19 were enrolled in our research from Jan 22 to Feb 29, 2020. The demographic, clinical, radiological, laboratory and treatment data of all cases were analysed. Results Of the 107 dead patients with COVID-19, 71 (66.4%) were male and 36 (33.6%) were female. The mean age of the patients was 71.2 ± 12.1 years. 82 (76.6%) of patients had chronic diseases. The mean duration from admission to death was 9 (IQR,5-14) days. Respiratory functional damage was the most common one followed by heart and kidney. Hematuria was found in 36(33.6%) patients. 89(83.2%) patients’ albumin levels were decreased. 68(63.6%) patients had anemia. concerning laboratory results, 55 (69.6%) and 56 (70.1%) patients have the elevated white blood cells and elevated Neutrophils during the process; only 43 (54.4%) have the decreased Lymphocytes; The values of platelets and haemoglobin decreased in 64(81.0%) and 58 (73.4%) patients. Alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase elevated in near half of patients, while almost 80% of patients have the decreased albumin. The elevated blood urea nitrogen and cystatin C were manifested in about 70% of patients. Procalcitonin was elevated in 38 (71.7%) patients. Conclusions In conclusion, the older men with chronic diseases are more likely to die from COVID-19. Apart from that, more attention should be pay on timely treatment, coinfections, malnutrition, and dysfunction of kidney and coagulation. The rising values (white blood cell, blood urea nitrogen, cystatin C, PCT and PT) and the decreased values (PLT, Hb and albumin) maybe meaningful for predict the poor prognosis.
