Replacing Late Calving Beef Cows to Shorten Calving Season

There are many factors that impact profitability in cow-calf beef production. For example, retaining a female that suffers a failed pregnancy decreases the likelihood of a beef cow or heifer being profitable over her life. Several factors can cause a failed pregnancy, but retaining females that calve late within a defined calving season (days between birth of the first and last calf of an individual herd and/or multiple herds) can increase the likelihood of future failed pregnancy (Mousel et al., 2012). Late calving females get less time for uterine repair (involution) and overcoming postpartum anestrous before the next breeding season (postpartum interval), reducing the likelihood of the female becoming pregnant during the next breeding season. For example, a study found heifers that calved within the first 22 days of the defined calving season were more likely to remain in the herd longer (or increased longevity) than heifers that calved on day 23 or later (Mousel et al., 2012). A long calving season generally results in a lighter average weaning weight with a wider range of calf weights. Most cow-calf producers in the United States sell calves at weaning, and weaning typically happens when time allows regardless of calf age or weight. Therefore, calves born late in the calving season will be younger and lighter weight than early born calves. Lighter weight calves and less uniformity in calf weights can impact profitability of the herd. Calves are typically sold in lots grouped on weight ranges, and buyers commonly pay higher prices for cattle sold in larger lots (i.e., more uniform) to fill and ship truckloads more efficiently. Shortening the calving season provides an opportunity to capture price premiums from weaning weight uniformity when marketing calves (Boyer, Griffith and Pohler, 2020). However, identifying a strategy to shift to a shorter calving season can be difficult. This publication analyzes not just what happens to net returns when shortening the calving season but also what is the most profitable strategy for shortening the calving season length.
Explainable Inference Over Grounding-Abstract Chains for Science Questions

We propose an explainable inference approach for science questions by reasoning on grounding and abstract inference chains. This paper frames question answering as a natural language abductive reasoning problem, constructing plausible explanations for each candidate answer and then selecting the candidate with the best explanation as the ﬁnal answer. Our method, ExplanationLP , elicits explanations by constructing a weighted graph of relevant facts for each candidate answer and employs a linear programming formalism designed to select the optimal subgraph of explanatory facts. The graphs’ weighting function is composed of a set of parameters targeting relevance, cohesion and diversity, which we ﬁne-tune for answer selection via Bayesian Optimisation. We carry out our experiments on the WorldTree and ARC-Challenge datasets to empirically demonstrate the following contributions: (1) ExplanationLP obtains strong performance when compared to transformer-based and multi-hop approaches despite having a sig-niﬁcantly lower number of parameters; (2) We show that our model is able to generate plausible explanations for answer prediction; (3) Our model demonstrates better robustness towards semantic drift when compared to transformer-based and multi-hop approaches.
Deep Learning--based Text Classification

Deep learning--based models have surpassed classical machine learning--based approaches in various text classification tasks, including sentiment analysis, news categorization, question answering, and natural language inference. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review of more than 150 deep learning--based models for text classification developed in recent years, and we discuss their technical contributions, similarities, and strengths. We also provide a summary of more than 40 popular datasets widely used for text classification. Finally, we provide a quantitative analysis of the performance of different deep learning models on popular benchmarks, and we discuss future research directions.
Correlated personality change across time and age

The goal of this study was to examine differential and correlated change in personality across the adult lifespan. Studying differential and correlated change can help understand whether intraindividual trait change trajectories deviate from the norm and how these trajectories are coupled with each other. We used data from two large longitudinal panel studies from the United States that covered a total age range of 20 to 95 years on the first measurement occasion. We used correlated factor models and bivariate latent change score models to examine the rank-order stability and correlations between change across three measurement waves covering 18 years (N = 3250) and four measurement waves covering 12 years (N = 4145). We examined the moderation effects of continuous age on these model parameters using local structural equation modeling. The results suggest that the test–retest correlations decrease with increasing time between measurements but are unaffected by participants’ age. We found that change processes in Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness were strongly related, particularly in late adulthood. Correlated change patterns were highly stable across time intervals and similar to the initial cross-sectional Big Five correlations. We discuss potential mechanisms and implications for personality development research.
NEW COMPOUND NEIGHBORHOODS STRUCTURES FOR THE HETEROGENEOUS FIXED FLEET VEHICLE ROUTING PROBLEM

We investigate some large neighborhoods for Heterogeneous Fixed Fleet Vehicle Routing Problems (HFFVRP), combining reallocation and swap moves with a problem-tailored procedure for optimizing customer-to-vehicle assignment decisions. The assignment is either performed exactly by means of a primal-dual algorithm, or heuristically using the available vehicles to apply vehicle-type changes. The resulting large neighborhood are integrated into an iterated local search framework and compared with recently results found in the literature. Competitive results are produced for well-known HFFVRP benchmark instances.
The Association Between Racial Microaggressions and Depressive Symptoms: A Cross-Sectional Analysis

The present study investigated whether racial microaggressions, specifically assumptions of inferiority, assumptions of criminality/second class citizenship, and microinvalidations had a relationship with depressive symptoms, and whether this relationship varied by age group (adults vs. adolescents) and race (Black and Latinx). This cross-sectional study compared 194 undergraduate college students who were all over the age of 18 to 168 high school juniors and seniors. All participants identified as either African American/Black or Latinx/Hispanic. The results indicated that respondents identifying as Black/African American, regardless of age, experience higher levels of assumptions of criminality/second class citizenship compared to Latinx respondents, F(2, 350) = 0.82, p = . 442, ηp = . 004. Results also indicated that, among Black/African American college students, but not high school students nor Latinx participants, higher levels of assumptions of inferiority were associated with depressive symptoms (b = .34, SE = 0.07, p < .001). Assumptions of criminality/second class citizenship, on the other hand, were not related with depressive symptoms (b = .06, SE = 0.08, p = .433). Lastly, regardless of race, high school students experienced more microinvalidations than college students, F(2, 350) = 3.97, p = . 047, ηp=. 013. These results underscore developmental changes in how students of color experience race and racism as they transition from adolescence into adulthood.
Beyond the dichotomous model of achievement goals in sport and exercise psychology

sought to explain and predict motivated behaviour in achievement (i.e. competence-relevant) situations for over six decades. Many different constructs have been used in this conceptual and empirical work, and one construct of central interest in the achievement motivation literature is that of achievement goals. Achievement goals are commonly conceptualised as the purpose (Maehr, 1984) or aim (Elliot & Thrash, 2001) of competence-based action. Achievement motivation in general, and achievement goals in particular, are important areas of inquiry, because the desire for competence is fundamental and basic to the human psyche (White, 1959). Competencebased pursuits are ubiquitous in daily life, and competence-relevant processes and outcomes have a profound effect on how people feel about themselves and their lives as a whole. The prototypic achievement contexts, and the contexts in which achievement goals have been studied most thoroughly, are the classroom, the playing field, and the workplace (i.e. school, sports and work). The achievement goal construct has been employed at several different levels of analysis. Researchers have focused on states of goal involvement that describe an individual’s focus at a specific moment in time (Nicholls, 1989) and on goal climates that describe situational influences on goal involvement (Ames, 1992; Nicholls, 1989). Researchers have also focused on goal orientations that describe relatively stable individual differences in individuals’ states of goal involvement (Duda, 1989; Nicholls, 1984). Elliot and colleagues (Elliot, in press; Elliot & Thrash, 2002) have called into question the explanatory value of the goal orientation level of analysis and, with Dweck (1999), have recommended a focus on other individual difference variables (e.g. achievement motives, temperaments, self theories) that predispose individuals toward certain states of goal involvement. This article overviews the conceptual and structural characteristics of achievement goals, and is concerned primarily with states of goal involvement. However, we believe that the ideas overviewed herein may also be profitably applied to the goal climate level of analysis.

The Perspective of Leader-Member Exchange and Its Relation with Workplace Empowerment and Organizational Citizenship Behavior among Nurses

Context: Leader-member exchange captures the impact of nurses’ perceptions of support from their supervisors’ high-quality relationships, which may promote extra-role behaviors, enabling increased job satisfaction and workplace empowerment and nurses` organizational citizenship behavior. Aim: Assess the perspective of leader-member exchange and its relation with workplace empowerment and organizational citizenship behavior among nurses. Methods: A descriptive correlational design was used to achieve the aim of the study. This study was conducted at Benha University Hospital in general medical and surgical units. A Convenient sample consisted of 190 nurses who were working in the study setting, as mentioned earlier. Three tools used to collect the data; Subordinate (LMX-MDM) survey portion, Condition of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire (CWEQ), and Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale. Results: The findings of this study indicated that more than half of nurses (54.7%) reported that they had a high-quality relationship with their supervisors, and 71.1% of nurses had a moderate level of workplace empowerment. Also, more than half of nurses (51.1%) had a moderate level of organizational citizenship behavior. Conclusions: There was a highly statistically significant positive correlation between the total score of leader-member exchange and total workplace empowerment, total organizational citizenship behavior. Also was a highly statistically significant positive correlation between the total workplace empowerment, total organizational citizenship behavior. The study recommended that hospital management needs to focus on involving staff nurses in the political processes in an organization and keep them informed about significant changes in the organization and have a protective attitude toward it.
European Journal of Human Resource Management Studies

This paper presents the findings of the research carried out at the Hellenic Air Force’s 120 Air Training Wing, with the objective to define the characteristics and dimensions of emerging adulthood among student pilots during the initial and basic phase of flight training, and also to investigate the extent to which these characteristics are related to the type and content of their training. As shown by comparing the findings of the research with similar studies in the Greek context, in which students have participated, student pilots seem to be crossing the threshold of adulthood much earlier than their peers who are university students. Moreover, due to the content of their training, their views on the characteristics and dimensions of adulthood focus mostly on responsibilities and duties rather than on the rights of the adult phase of life.
Effect of diltiazem on proliferation of VSMC

Objective To investigate the effect of Diltiazem(Dil) on proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs) induced in angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ). Methods Thoracic aorta VSMCs cultured by tissue-sticking method were randomly divided into 5 groups:control,model and different concentrations of Dil groups(10-5,10-6 and 10-7 mol/L). The cell proliferation ability of VSMCs was measured by MTT assay,the cell generation cycle and prolifation index were measured by flow cytometery.Results Three concentrtions of Dil significantly inhibited the proliferation of VSMCs(P0.05),up-regulated the constituent ratio of VSMCs G0/G1 cell cycle(P0.05) and down-regulated the proliferation index significantly(P0.05). Conclusions Dil could inhibit the proliferation of VSMCs significantly.
Distribution and ecological growth conditions of Utricularia australis R. Br. in Ukraine

The study shows the biodiversity of Utricularia australis from western to northern regions of Ukraine. The environmental conditions of Ukraine are favourable for the spread and formation of phytocenosis involving U. australis, especially on thermoclimatic, cryothermal and continental scale. A broader range of the species’ relation to humidity has been recorded. The research outcome shows the existence of the species in conditions from shallow, parched reservoirs to deep water habitats which allows the species to withstand temporary drying of reservoirs in summer periods. The resilience of U. australis to some water quality parameters, including nitrogen, phosphorus, iron content, colour, pH and organic contamination was higher than in previous studies and Tsyganov’s ecological scales. Thus, due to its wide range of tolerance to the majority of environmental factors, U. australis tends to spread in contemporary climatic conditions in Ukraine. Considering that the species has category “vulnerable” in the country and is listed in the red data book of Ukraine, its conservation status is likely to be revised further.
Refractive Error Among Public and Private School Children in Dhangadhi City of Far West Nepal

Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the prevalence of refractive error among private and public-school children. Methods: Altogether 18 schools of Dhangadhi (capital city of Far West Province of Nepal) with a mix of public and private schools were randomly selected. We collected data from children studying in grade 1-10 from January to March 2018. Eye examination was performed for all children satisfying inclusion criteria. Refractive error was determined by retinoscopy followed by subjective refraction. Results: A total of 5128 school children (3159 from public and 1969 from private) were examined. The overall prevalence of refractive error was 80 (2.5%) (95% CI 2%-3.1%) children in public schools, of which 48 (1.5%) (95% CI 1.1-2) had myopia and 32(1%) (95% CI 0.7-1.4) had hyperopia. Among private school children, refractive error was present in 93 (4.7%) (95% CI 3.8-5.7) children, of which 55 (2.8%) (95% CI 2.1-3.6) had myopia and 3 (1.9%) (95% CI 1.4-2.7) had hypermetropia. Among Brahmin/Chhetry ethnic group, refractive error was 40 (3.5%) in public school and 75 (5.2%) in private school children. Conclusion: The prevalence of refractive error among private school children is twice as that in public school children which was higher in Brahmin/Chhetry than other ethnic groups.

*These authors contributed equally to this work Abstract: Neoadjuvant therapy is integral to the treatment of early-stage breast cancer. Goals of treatment include surgical downstaging of the tumor, rendering inoperable tumors resectable, and de-escalating axillary surgery in those with clinically positive nodes. Additionally, response to treatment provides important prognostic information regarding risk of recurrence and guides future adjuvant treatment. Although chemotherapy serves as the backbone of neoadjuvant treatment, an increased understanding of the tumor’s clinical course as well as its molecular and genetic make-up aids in individualizing treatment and developing novel agents. This review summarizes current clinical approaches and the future direction to the management of breast cancer patients in the neoadjuvant setting.
Results of bicycle exercise stress test in patients with stable coronary heart disease depending on the angiographic signs of atherosclerotic lesions of coronary arteries

The aim. To identify features of exercise response in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients depending on coronary artery condition and to identify factors associated with a positive test in patients with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA). Materials and methods. The study included 105 patients diagnosed with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) who were hospitalized at the City Clinical Hospital No. 8 of the Kharkiv City Council. The criteria for diagnosis of ischemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) were met by 53 patients who formed group I. Group II included 52 patients who were consistently hospitalized in the period from June to December 2020, and had obstructive CAD for more than 50 % according to their coronary angiography (CAG). Results. According to the results of bicycle exercise stress test, a positive test was significantly more often registered in group II – n = 30 (57.7 %) patients compared to group I – n = 19 (35.8 %) patients (p = 0.0249). The duration of the test in patients of group I was significantly longer than 420 seconds [290–540], compared with group II – 300.0 [210.0–540.0] (р = 0.0352). Also, in patients in group II, the maximum volume of the test performed was probably lower than in group I (p = 0.0324). When calculating the double product, it was also found that in group I its value was significantly higher compared to group II (p = 0.0292). In group I there was a significantly higher rate of chronotropic reserve (44.0 [26.0–60.0]), compared with group II (p = 0.0168). Elevated total cholesterol (above 5 mmol/l) is a statistically significant and independent factor of a positive exercise test in patients with INOCA (OR, 1.98 [0.9992–3.926], p = 0.05). A correlation was found between the level of exercise tolerance and smoking in INOCA-patients (r = –0.388975, p = 0.010899). Patients who underwent MINOCA also showed reduced tolerance to exercise (r = –0.3104, p = 0.042721) Conclusions. The sensitivity of bicycle exercise stress test in patients with CAD depends on the presence and severity of atherosclerotic lesions of the coronary arteries (63 % in stenotic atherosclerosis, 36 % in no obstructive coronary arteries. It was found that exercise test duration, double product, chronotropic and inotropic reserve of the heart in patients with a positive exercise test with INOCA were significantly higher compared with patients with obstructive CAD. Independent factors associated with a positive exercise test in patients with no obstructive CAD are an increase in total cholesterol (multivariate regression logistic analysis).
