Effect Provision of Addition Urea Molasses Multi-nutrient Moringa Block (UM3B) feed to Bali Cows on Follicular Dynamics Profile During Estrus Synchronization

| The objective to investigate the effects of the addition of UM3B on follicular dynamics profile after the second injection of PGF2 α . Methods: In this experiment. A total of 20 Bali cows were used for this research. The average weights of the cow were 325-350±9.98 kg, cycling of estrus normally, and aged 3-5 years. All cows were divided into two treatment groups. The first group (n =10) was supplemented by UM3B dose of 350 g/head/day, and second group (n =10) was not supplemented with UM3B. The parameters were evaluated include of locations and sizes of the follicles, corpus luteum (CL) regression, and dominant follicles were assessed by a Ultrasonography (USG scan). Profile of estrus response after second injection PGF2 α was observed manually. Results: Diameter of follicle ovulation, speed of follicle growth, length of the follicle growth phase, and follicular wave were significantly different (P<0.05) among group 1 and group 2. Whereas, the diameter of the follicle during injection, ovulation time, and estrus cycle length was not significantly different (P>0.05) among group 1 and group 2. While, the diameter of the corpus luteum during injection, diameter of corpus luteum during estrus, and speed of corpus luteum regression were not significantly different (P>0.05) between group 1 (with UM3B) and group 2 (without UM3B). Conclusions: The addition of UM3B could be improved by the diameter of follicle ovulation, speed of follicle growth, length of the follicle growth phase, and follicular wave in Bali cows.
Sample-Efﬁcient Policy Search with a Trajectory Autoencoder

We introduce a trajectory generator that can be used to perform sample-efﬁcient policy search with Bayesian optimization (BO). BO is a sample-efﬁcient approach to direct policy search that usually does not scale well with the number of parameters. Our trajectory generator is able to map a compact representation of trajectories to a high-dimensional trajectory space so that BO can search in the low-dimensional space. The trajectory generator will be trained as part of a variational autoencoder on demonstrations from an expert. The trajectory generator contains a trajectory layer, which is a new building block for neural networks that enforces smoothness on generated trajectories. We evaluate our approach with grasping on a real robot
Antibiotic usage and susceptibility patterns in Uncomplicated UTI in a Tertiary Hospital in South India

Purpose Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common infections in otherwise healthy young women and there is considerable heterogeneity in antibiotic prescribing practices contributing to increased health expenditure, hospitalization, and collateral damage with the unprecedented use of fluoroquinolones and beta-lactams leading to the increase in MRSA strains and gram-negative bacilli. This study was designed to study the appropriateness of empirical antimicrobial therapy with clinical outcomes among outpatients and analyze antibiotic susceptibility patterns. Methods A longitudinal study involving women clinically diagnosed with uncomplicated UTI as per IDSA guidelines across a study period of 18 months was conducted from 2008-2020. Antibiotic appropriateness was analyzed with respect to IDSA guidelines with subgroup analysis of culture- proven UTI. Results Among 105 cases of uncomplicated UTI, fluoroquinolones were prescribed the most (41%) followed by Beta-Lactams (30.5%). Choice of antimicrobial agent was appropriate in 60 (57%) cases and duration in 30 (28.5%) cases. Subgroup Analysis of 25 culture-proven cases revealed most common organism isolated was E. coli (60%) with prevalence of MDR organisms being 36%. The susceptibility pattern revealed similar levels of resistance between fluoroquinolones (38%), beta- lactams (36%), Nitrofurantoin(32%), Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (32%), and Fosfomycin (20%) with clinical cure rates non-inferior among those prescribed the latter group of antibiotics (84.2% vs 96.6%) Conclusion The spectrum of uropathogens in our clinical setting is evolving with a substantial rise in MDR pathogens due to inappropriate antibiotic prescribing practices. The use of antibiotics such as Nitrofurantoin, Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and Fosfomycin in accordance with local antibiograms must be encouraged as empirical therapy for uncomplicated UTI.

DIPARTIMENTO DI FILOLOGIA, LETTERATURA E LINGUISTICA CORSO DI LAUREA IN INFORMATICA UMANISTICA MAGISTRALE TESI DI LAUREA FairShades-Fairness Auditing in Abusive Language Detection Systems

Current abusive language detection systems have demonstrated unintended bias towards sensitive features such as nationality or gender. This is a crucial issue, which may harm minorities and underrepresented groups if such systems were integrated in real-world applications. In this thesis, we present FairShades, a model-agnostic approach for auditing the outcomes of Abusive Language Detection Systems. Combining Explainability and Fairness evaluation, the tool is able to identify wrong correlations, unintended biases and sensitive categories toward which the models are most discriminative. This objective is pursued through the auditing of meaningful counterfactuals generated by CheckList framework, obtained perturbing sensitive identities present in the texts to be classified. A Decision Tree Regressor is trained on the synthetic neighbourhood and used to simulate and analyse the behaviour, predictions and rationale applied by the black box under consideration. Our approach performs both local and sub-global analysis, combining the individual interpretations. We conduct several experiments on research BERT-basedmodels in order to demonstrate the novelty and effectiveness of our proposal on unmasking biases. Although these classifiers achieve high accuracy levels on a variety of natural language processing tasks, they demonstrate severe shortages on samples involving implicit stereotypes and protected attributes such as nationality or sexual orientation.

A robust propulsion layout for underwater vehicles with enhanced manoeuvrability and reliability features

Design of autonomous underwater vehicles is deeply influenced by required mission specifications. In particular, some activities like inspection of offshore plants or harsh marine environments require underwater vehicle with high autonomy, good propulsion performances and manoeuvrability. These features are deeply influenced by design and performances of the propulsion system. In particular, performances of underwater vehicles (both remotely operated and autonomous) are deeply influenced by four quadrants performances of propellers and by complex fluid dynamics interactions that are difficult to be, even roughly, evaluated. In this work, a study of a reconfigurable propulsion layout and its comparison with a conventional one is introduced. In particular, this study is also focused on modelling techniques that should really represent a reasonable trade-off in terms of accuracy and involved computational resources for fast prototyping and simulation of this kind of mechatronic systems.

NetB (necrotic enteritis toxin B) is a recently identiﬁed (cid:2) -pore-forming toxin produced by Clostridium perfringens . This toxin has been shown to play a major role in avian necrotic enteritis. In recent years, a dramatic increase in necrotic enteritis has been observed, especially in countries where the use of antimicrobial growth promoters in animal feedstuffs has been banned. The aim of this work was to determine whether immunisation with a NetB toxoid would provide protection against necrotic enteritis. The immunisation of poultry with a formaldehyde NetB toxoid or with a NetB genetic toxoid (W262A) resulted in the induction of antibody responses against NetB and provided partial protection against disease.
IN VITRO FUNGICIDAL ACTIVITY OF TWO PLANT EXTRACTS AGAINST FIVE PHYTOPATHOGENIC FUNGI OF CUCUMBER ( CUCUMIS SATIVUS L.) FRUIT

The ethanolic extracts of Chromolaena odorata L and Moringa oleifera Lam were tested at concentrations of 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 mg/ml for their in vitro fungicidal activities against five phytopathogenic fungi isolated from diseased Cucumber fruits. The pathogens were Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht, Aspergillus niger Van Tiegh, Rhizopus stolonifer Ehrenb . ex. Fr , Geotrichum candidum Link and Mucor micheli ex Staint – Amans as confirmed by pathogenicity tests. The inhibitory effects of the extracts increased with increase in concentrations. Some of the concentrations reduced the mycelial growth of the pathogens to a significant (P > 0.05) level. Very strong fungicidal activity was produced by extracts of M. oleifera at 100 mg/ml against all the fungi. The inhibitory effects of C. odorata extracts at 20, 40 and 60 mg/ml were greater than those of M. oleifera on A. niger, F. oxysporum and M. micheli. The results of the investigation indicated that plant extracts possess antifungal activity that can be exploited as an ideal treatment for future plant disease management.
A novel three-finger IPMC gripper for microscale applications

A Novel Three-Finger IPMC Gripper for Microscale Applications. (May 2006) Kwan Soo Yun, B.S., A-jou University, Suwon, Korea; M.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Won-jong Kim Smart materials have been widely used for control actuation. A robotic hand can be equipped with artificial tendons and sensors for the operation of its various joints mimicking human-hand motions. The motors in the robotic hand could be replaced with novel electroactive-polymer (EAP) actuators. In the three-finger gripper proposed in this paper, each finger can be actuated individually so that dexterous handling is possible, allowing precise manipulation. In this dissertation, a microscale position-control system using a novel EAP is presented. A third-order model was developed based on the system identification of the EAP actuator with an AutoRegresive Moving Average with eXogenous input (ARMAX) method using a chirp signal input from 0.01 Hz to 1 Hz limited to 7 ± V. With the developed plant model, a digital PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controller was designed with an integrator anti-windup scheme. Test results on macro (0.8-mm) and micro (50-μm) step responses of the EAP actuator are provided in this dissertation and its position tracking capability is demonstrated. The overshoot decreased from 79.7% to
Application of Euclidean geometry in the assessment of body posture in a sitting position Annals of Medicine

Resu l t s and d i scuss ion: The criteria found in the process of my clinical observations and studies allowed me to show close relationship of simultaneous movements and positions of individual parts of the body, i.e. the body of the sternum and the sacrum, as well as thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis in relation to each other. On the basis of Euclidean geometry, this relationship was equated with the shape of a triangle, showing that common relationship between the specified body parts, the so-called ‘common sense,’ could be a method of assessing the body posture in a sitting position.
Effect of biofertilizers and spacing on growth parameters of groundnut ( Arachis hypogaea L.)

An experiment was conducted during the kharif season 2021, at the (SHUATS), Prayagraj to study the effect of biofertilizers and spacing on growth and yield of groundnut ( Arachis hypogaea L.). Seed inoculation with biofertilizers VAM ( Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza ) - 1.5g/kg seed, PSB ( Phosphate Solubilising Bacteria ) – 5g/kg seed, Rhizobium – 20g/kg seed and Trichoderma – 5g/kg seed. Seeds were sown at a depth of 5cm with (25cm × 20cm and 30cm × 15cm) - two different spacings maintaining row to row and plant to plant distance. The Trichoderma + 30cm x 15cm significantly increased the growth attributes viz . , plant height (46.47cm), no. of nodules/ plant (92.84), dry weight (27.56g/plant), CGR (60-90 DAS) (7.57g/m 2 /day), RGR (60-90 DAS) (0.017g/g/day).
Stackelberg Game Model of Wind Farm and Electric Vehicle Battery Switch Station

In this paper, a cooperation method between wind farm and Electric vehicle battery switch station (EVBSS) was proposed. In the pursuit of maximizing their own benefits, the cooperation between wind farm and EVBSS was formulated as a Stackelberg game model by treating them as decision makers in different status. As the leader, wind farm will determine the charging/discharging price to induce the charging and discharging behavior of EVBSS reasonably. Through peak load shifting, wind farm could increase its profits by selling more wind power to the power grid during time interval with a higher purchase price. As the follower, EVBSS will charge or discharge according to the price determined by wind farm. Through optimizing the charging /discharging strategy, EVBSS will try to charge with a lower price and discharge with a higher price in order to increase its profits. Since the possible charging /discharging strategy of EVBSS is known, the wind farm will take the strategy into consideration while deciding the charging /discharging price, and will adjust the price accordingly to increase its profits. The case study proved that the proposed cooperation method and model were feasible and effective.
The Use of Quizlet as a Vocabulary Acquisition Learning Media for Eleventh Grade Students

Language learners tend to have a limited amount of vocabulary. This problem limits them from using and understanding a broad coverage of speech or text in a foreign language. One of the reasons causing this matter is the lack of teachers' awareness of how to teach vocabulary for language learners. Quizlet is one of many applications used for vocabulary learning. This study focused on analyzing the use of Quizlet as a learning media for improving students’ vocabulary. It also aimed to find out the students’ perceptions of the use of Quizlet for learning new vocabulary. This research is using a one-group quasi-experimental research design. The data were collected using tests, field notes, and questionnaires. The results show that the students’ acquisition of both productive and receptive vocabulary has increased after the treatment. The students’ receptive vocabulary shows a greater increase compared to the productive one. The students’ responses to the use of Quizlet as learning media are positive. They agree that the application is beneficial and easy to use. The results of this study provide additional insights on how Quizlet should be utilized so that it can be used as a learning media for vocabulary learning effectively.
An Anatomy of Performance Monitoring

Performance monitoring is a mainstay management tool in most organizations. Yet we still know little about whether – and why – better monitoring yields better performance in practice. To shed light on these questions, we study the introduction of a performance monitoring technology that enabled managers to track the progress of drive-thru orders in real time in a large quick-service restaurant chain in Puerto Rico. Sales increased by nearly 5%, but this rise was on average short-lived: impacts diminished to roughly half their initial magnitude within two months. Investment in and depreciation of worker skills play an important role in explaining this pattern. Managers responded to the availability of real-time data on bottlenecks by providing greater training inputs to workers at key workstations, particularly in the kitchen. But only a subset of managers provided “refresher” training to counteract skill depreciation over time. Conditional on baseline store productivity-by-time interactions to account for dynamic eﬀects of general managerial quality, stores in which managers utilized refresher training intensively prior to the technology implementation had more persistent gains in sales, suggesting that managers’ attention and responses to worker skill dynamics matter for productivity. These results provide a look inside the “black box” of the management-productivity relationship, and highlight the critical role of on-the-job human capital investment in realizing and sustaining productivity gains from better performance monitoring. close monitoring of counter productivity is not enabled by the technology. As Hong et al. (2018) argue, a cleaner test of multitasking would involve a performance measure which is not readily observed by the principal (i.e., central corporate management, in our case), and also one which is not as positively correlated with the observed performance measure so as to improve mechanically despite a lack of eﬀort devoted to it. We thus study waste as a measure which, if anything, ex ante worsens as sales increase due to a speed-precision style trade-oﬀ and ﬁnd that waste did not signiﬁcantly rise in response to the monitoring technology implementation. We propose that this absence of multitasking issues could reﬂect the speciﬁc managerial response which enabled sales to rise. That is, the increased managerial training input may have reduced the likelihood of errors which often lead to increased waste when crew members in the kitchen are working at a faster pace.
Hole in

operatively, we suspected that this most likely represented a benign smooth muscle tumor that had eroded through the iris root. Amyloid can occur as a localized ocular or widespread systemic process. Approximately 4% of amyloid deposits in the head and neck region involve the orbit. Amyloid deposits in ophthalmic structures can occur as a primary or secondary process. Primary deposits (which can be familial or sporadic) occur in the absence of an associated disease. Secondary deposits have been noted after a myriad of processes, including trauma, infection,myeloproliferativedisorders, and immune-mediated diseases. Most of the reported ophthalmic cases have been in association with familial amyloidosis with systemic involvement. Some cases have been noted to have only ophthalmic deposition of amyloid without evidence of systemic disease. Amyloid deposits in association with myeloproliferative entities suchas lymphomasorplasmacellproliferations can produce paraproteinemias and involve the eye. In our case, the negative study results make this entity unlikely at present. In patients with extraosseous plasmacytoma, a myeloma develops within 10 years in 10% to 30% compared with 55% in patientswithosseousplasmacytomas. Amyloid deposits can also occur in association with rheumatologic diseases, although involvement with systemic lupus erythematosus is distinctly uncommon. Our patient has either a primary amyloid deposit from an extraosseous plasmacytoma or a focal iris–ciliary amyloid deposit in association with systemic lupus erythematous. It is conceivable that benign but aberrantly localized plasma cells are part of the systemic lupus erythematosus process in this patient. Alternatively, there is an increase in lymphomas in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, even when they are not treated with immunosuppression. Amyloid in association with systemic lupus erythematosus is quite rare and usually manifests as renal involvement. Fewer than 20 cases have been reported. This case illustrates the problem, despite newer diagnostic techniques, of potential diagnostic errors in anterior uveal tumor diagnosis. Our patient is probably at risk for local and systemic recurrence and is being closely observed.
