Performance, Carcass and Bone Characteristics and Histological Structure of Some Organs of Broilers fed Inorganic or Organic Trace Mineral Premix

Effect of using inorganic and organic trace minerals premix on performance, carcass and tibia bone characteristics and histological structure of ileum, liver and tibia bone of broiler chicks were investigated. A starter (1-21 d) and a grower (22-35 d) corn-soybean meal diets were supplemented with inorganic trace mineral premix ITM (T1), organic trace mineral premix OTM (T2) or ITM + OTM (T3). The organic mineral premix was of lower element concentrations compared with the inorganic premix. A total of 150 one-day-old Arbor Acres broiler chicks were distributed into three dietary treatments (5 replicates x 10 chicks each). The results showed no significant effect of dietary treatments on body weight gain and feed intake of broiler chickens. Birds fed organic trace minerals showed significant better feed conversion ratio than that of inorganic trace minerals. Organic trace minerals did not significantly affect carcass characteristics or tibia bone measurements except tibia ash%. Histological analysis of ileum revealed that, broiler chicks fed diets with organic minerals significantly decreased the length and crypt depth of villi. The liver tissue and tibia bone were healthy and normal in all experimental groups. It could be concluded that organic trace minerals can be used at lower levels than the recommended levels of inorganic trace minerals not only without a negative impact on performance, but may lead to improve feed efficiency, intestinal and bone histology. Further studies, using other parameters, are needed to prove the impact of different organic minerals sources and levels upon poultry production and environmental pollution.

We aimed to investigate CPR quality during in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and study long-term survival outcomes. Patients and Methods: This was a cohort study of IHCA from December 2011 until November 2014. Data were collected from the hospital switch board, patient records, and from defibrillators. Impedance data from defibrillators were analyzed manually at the level of single compressions. Long-term survival at 1-, 3-, and 5 years is reported. Results: The study included 189 IHCAs; median (interquartile range (IQR)) time to first rhythm analysis was 116 (70–201) seconds and median (IQR) time to first defibrillation was 133 (82–264) seconds. Median (IQR) chest compression rate was 126 (119–131) per minute and chest compression fraction (CCF) was 78% (69–86). Thirty-day survival was 25%, while 1-year-, 3-year-, and 5-year survival were 21%, 14%, and 13%, respectively. There was no significant association between any survival outcomes and CCF, whereas chest compression rate was associated with survival to 30 days and 3 years. Overall, 5-year survival was associated with younger age (median 68 vs 74 years, p=0.003), less comorbidity (Charlson comorbidity index median 3 vs 5, p<0.001), and witnessed cardiac arrest (96% vs 77%, p=0.03). Conclusion: We established a systematic collection of IHCA CPR quality data to measure and improve CPR quality and long-term survival outcomes. Median time to first rhythm check/defibrillation was <3 minutes, but median chest compression rate was too fast and median CCF slightly below 80%. More than half of 30-day survivors were still alive at 5 years.

Unfortunately, reliable data on knife-related injuries are difficult to obtain. In Egypt, there is no national routine surveillance system for all knife injuries. The aim was to examine the epidemiologic characteristics of knife-related injuries at the Ain Shams University Hospital (ASUH) emergency department (ED). Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 140 patients who presented with knife injuries at the ASUH ED. Data collection was done during a randomly selected period of seven days each month from October 2018 to September 2019. The sociodemographic characteristics, injury-related variables, and outcomes of the injury were recorded on a structured worksheet. Results: Knife-related injuries represented 22.9% of all injury cases that presented to the ED. Majority of the knife-related injuries (87.86%) were accidental, 7.9% were assault, and 4.3% were self-inflicted. Home was the most reported place of injury. Most of the victims were discharged from the ED (87.1%), and 84.3% recovered completely. The mean hospital stay was 3.6 ± 1.3 days. Conclusion: Majority of the knife-related injuries were accidental, and the most common pattern was isolated chest injury with contusions. Cases that were not severe and had favorable prognosis (ie, complete recovery) comprised the largest proportion. Recommendations include development of a surveillance system may result in the effective control and prevention of this growing problem of knife-related injuries.
Effects of outsourcing on costs: estimating the conversion of fixed to variable costs

The evaluation of this perspective is the objective of this work, that is, to evaluate the impacts of outsourcing processes on fixed and variable costs. For this, an econometric model was formulated to capture fixed costs, variables and their changes, from outsourcing, and applied in a higher education institution, located in the southern region of Brazil. The data collected included the total cost, the amount of credits contracted, the semesters in which outsourcing began and the outsourced sectors, considering the period from 1995 to 2017. The results obtained revealed that outsourcing actually led to a reduction in fixed costs and an increase in variable costs. In addition, it was also found that fixed costs were reduced more intensely than the expansion of variable costs, over time, indicating that outsourcing generated cost reduction and that there are learning and management gains in the outsourcing processes.
Spillovers of Non-Fundamental Risks: The Tale of Two Securitized Real Estate Markets

Ambrose et al. (2007) find significant evidence of information spillover effects between index real estate investment trusts (REITs) and nonindex REITs in the US markets using the inclusion of REITs into the S&P general market indices in an event study. This study, however, examines the effects of REIT index inclusion events by using non-index real estate operating company (REOC) returns in the US and Singapore. The study finds that REOC returns are more correlated with the general market index returns after REIT index inclusion events, but the spillover effects are smaller for REOCs in Singapore. The spillover effects of the REIT inclusion events are larger on non-index REITs than non-index REOCs in the US. When examining REIT inclusion events in Singapore, we find evidence of increases in betas only in the REIT market, but the changes in REOC betas are insignificant. However, we find that the REIT index inclusions significantly reduce the systematic risks of REOCs that sponsor the index REITs.
Egg Lipid Profile, Growth Traits, Blood Biomarkers, and Physical Egg Characteristics of Heavy Ecotype Laying Hens Fed Oregano (Origanum vulgare) Meals

Investigation on the effect of dietary oregano on growth traits, egg physical characteristics, blood biomarkers, and egg lipid profile of heavy ecotype laying hens was conducted. Two hundred and forty eighteen weeks old, heavy ecotype hens were randomly assigned to two (T1; control - zero oregano meals, and T2; 3g oregano meals kg-1) dietary treatment of twelve replicates with ten hens per replicate. Birds fed oregano meals improved body weight and weight gain (P<0.05) compared with those fed the control diet. The heavy ecotype-laying hens fed zero oregano consume more (P<0.05) diets with a poor FCR. Egg production and egg weight were higher for birds fed oregano meals. Birds fed dietary oregano supplementation had a better (P<0.05) shell thickness than those fed the control diet. Red blood cell (RBC) and hemoglobin (Hb) values were higher for birds fed dietary oregano, as shown in Table 6. White blood cell (WBC), lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophil counts were increased (P<0.05) for birds fed the control diet in contrast to those that received oregano inclusion. Cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), as well as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were affected by the dietary oregano. Cholesterol and LDL levels were higher (P<0.05) for birds fed the control diet. At the same time, those that received oregano inclusion had a higher HDL value as well as a reduced (P<0.05) cholesterol and LDL values. It was concluded that oregano improved egg mass, egg quality, and quantity. It also enhanced the immunity of the hens.
Dimensions of organizational legitimacy as a function of gender and consumer status

Objetive: The aim of this paper is to find out which criteria or types are most important for assessing the legitimacy of organizations in terms of gender and status. Methodology: An online survey was conducted for residents in Spain aged 18 and over. The questionnaire was anonymous and 408 responses were obtained to form the sample. The data obtained was analyzed using the ANOVA statistical method. Results: The most important organizational legitimacy criteria are regulative, cognitive and moral legitimacy. Differences in types of legitimacy are observed between genders and status. Women attach greater importance to moral, emotional and managerial legitimacy than men. People with medium status give more importance to technical legitimacy. 2 Virginia Gordo-Molina and Francisco Diez-Martin Limitations: Customer perceptions were analyzed, without taking into account other stakeholders for the organizations, such as management teams and company employees. Practical implications: The results of this research enable employers and management teams to understand what kind of legitimacy they need to achieve in order to gain greater acceptance from their stakeholders. For academics, this research provides evidence on the configuration of legitimization criteria when assessing the legitimacy of organizations by consumers.
Shear and friction response of nonseismic laminated elastomeric bridge bearings subject to seismic demands

AbstractLaminated elastomeric bridge bearings are commonly used in areas with low-to-moderate seismicity, although the applications are typically intended for service-level considerations such as thermal movements of the bridge superstructure. These components provide a potential source of displacement capacity frequently neglected in seismic design. An experimental program was carried out to evaluate the behavioral characteristics and performance of steel-reinforced, laminated elastomeric bearings, which had not been designed for seismic demands, as the primary quasi-isolation components for seismic events by permitting slip at the interface of the bearing and substructure. The rubber at the top of the bearing is vulcanized to a steel plate, which is bolted to the test frame to simulate a connection to the superstructure. At the base of the bearing, the elastomer directly contacts concrete representing the substructure, with no restraint of horizontal motion other than friction. The elastomeric bearings .
Chief Executive Officer ( CEO ) compensation and value creation in Brazilian companies listed on the IBRX 100

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between CEO compensation and value creation in Brazilian companies listed on the IBRX 100. To this end, the concept of value creation was considered through the use of measures that incorporate the opportunity cost companies, namely: Economic Value Added (EVA) and Market Value Added (MVA). The period under analysis was from 2015 to 2019, with a sample of 75 companies. To test the hypotheses, we used multiple linear regression models, estimated by the System Generalized Method of Moments. The results indicate that EVA and MVA impact the decision to increase or decrease CEO compensation. Therefore, the findings of this research may indicate an alignment between the compensation policy of the companies analyzed and the value creation of organizations, alleviating the conflicts of interest between agent and principal.
Influence of The Hygienic Status of Food Contact Surfaces and Handler's Hands on The Microbial Safety of Ready to Eat Foods

Ready-to-eat foods "RTEs" remain a public health issue that needs to be addressed in order to protect the consumer's health. The study assessed the hygiene of food contact surfaces including food handler's hands and their impact on the microbial safety of the produced RTEs. A total of 150 samples of food contact surfaces swabs (64), food handler's hand swabs (41) and RTE foods (45) were collected from four restaurants in Cairo governorate, Egypt and microbiologically examined. Food contact surfaces swabs showed significant high levels of aerobic mesophilic microorganisms and coliform with mean counts of (7.32±6.99log10cfu and 6.89±6.58MPN/cm, respectively, P<0.05). The examined hand swabs showed high incidence of total Staphylococci and S. aureus (7.18±6.15 and 6.15±6.15log10cfu/cm, respectively). The examined swabs and RTEs were contaminated with yeast and mold with non-significant differences (P>0.05). Food borne pathogens; S. aureus and E. coli were isolated in percentages of (31.25 and 9.38%) from hand swabs, (19.51 and 12.19%) from surface swabs and (0.0 and 22.22%) from RTEs samples. Remarkably, Salmonella was detected in only one sample (2.20%) of cheese-based products and one sample of hand swabs (1.56%), which suggesting cross contamination. Our findings reveal a strong positive correlation between surface contamination and the contamination level of RTE foods, which prove that food contact surfaces and handler's hands are main ways of pathogens transmission to RTE foods. Therefore, the training of food handlers needs to be prioritized, applying effective sanitation programs, GMPs and HACCP.
Nutritional status and dental caries of vulnerable Cambodian children and adolescents living in Phnom Penh Estado nutricional e cáries dentárias em crianças e adolescentes

Resumo Durante a infância, a malnutrição está relacionada com a cárie dentária, doença mais prevalente no Camboja. Assim, este estudo transversal avaliou o estado nutricional e a prevalência de cárie dentária em 344 crianças e adolescentes vulneráveis cambojanos com idades entre os 6 e os 18 anos. O estado nutricional (peso corporal, estatura e índice de massa corporal para idade e sexo) e o índice CPOD (dentes cariados-perdidos-obturados) foram medidos e calculados. Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos participantes apresentava peso normal (56,7%), 36,6% baixo peso, 6,7% excesso de peso e 45,1% baixa estatura para a idade e sexo. A prevalência de cárie dentária foi notavelmente alta (94,9%) com as crianças de 6–11 anos a apresentar um índice CPOD significativamente maior (6,7 ± 4,0)
Differentiated Embedding and Social Relationships Among Russian Migrant Physicians in Finland: A Narrative Socio-Analysis

Migrants’ processes of (dis)embedding in local and transnational social networks have received growing attention in recent years, but most research focuses on low‐skilled migration. This study explores the affordances and challenges that Russian physicians, as a high‐skilled migrant group in Finland, experience in these processes in work and non‐work domains. Based on semi‐structured biographical interviews with 26 Russian physicians, the study employs Bourdieu’s socio‐analysis to ana‐ lyze their narratives. The results reveal that Russianmigrant physicians negotiate and experience differentiated embedding across work–life domains in local and transnational contexts. They mostly develop collegial relationships with Finnish col‐ leagues and benefit from fulfilling professional relationships in the work domain. However, alongside time and efforts needed for building social ties, various factors often impede friendship making and socialization with locals beyond the work domain. These physicians cope with individual life circumstances through their enduring and supportive relation‐ ships with their Russian relatives and colleagues–friends. These results indicate that high‐skilled migrants have a greater opportunity to connect professionally with locals than low‐skilled migrants, but experience similar challenges to the latter in building close personal relationships.

*These authors contributed equally to this work Background: Inflammatory response and nutritional status are associated with cancer development and progression. The purpose of this study was to explore whether the preoperative fibrinogen-albumin ratio index (FARI) is related to prognosis and chemoradiotherapy outcome of radical surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Methods: In total, 123 patients with LARC who underwent radical surgery after NCRT between June 2012 and December 2018 were collected in this study. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was made to evaluate the ability of the markers for forecasting prognosis. The correlation between FARI and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed. The Kaplan–Meier survival analysis, univariate and multivariate analysis based on Cox proportional hazards models, and subgroup analysis were performed to evaluate overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). A nomogram was constructed to evaluate the predictive role of FARI in DFS. Results: The ROC curve analysis showed that the ability of FARI on DFS prediction was superior to those of other inflammatory markers and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) (P<0.05). Based on the Youden’s index, the optimal cut-off value of FARI was 8.8%. High FARI patients (>8.8%) showed a poor response to NCRT and a decreased DFS rate (P<0.05). In addition, multivariate analysis revealed that FARI (HR=3.098, P=0.033), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and postoperative T stage were independent prognostic factors for DFS in TNM stage III LARC patients. However, FARI failed to distinguish patients with poor OS. Harrell’s concordance index (C-index) of the nomogram containing FARI (0.807) was obviously higher than that without it (0.732) among LARC patients who underwent radical surgery after NCRT. Moreover, multivariate analysis revealed FARI (OR=3.044, P=0.012) as an independent predictor for response to NCRT. Conclusion: Among LARC patients who underwent radical surgery after NCRT, preoperative FARI is an independent prognostic factor for DFS and an independent predictor for response to NCRT.

Department of Public Health, College of Health Science, Debre Tabor University, Debre Tabor, Ethiopia Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor and the leading cause of cancer death in over 100 countries. Despite the high burden of difficulty, the survival status and the predictors for mortality are not yet determined in Ethiopia. Studies related to this area are scarce. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the survival status and predictors of mortality among breast cancer patients in Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: A retrospective cohort study design was carried out from September 2015 to August 2020 among 482 women who had breast cancer in Northwest Ethiopia. A systematic sampling technique was employed to select the required representative sample. The Cox regression model was used to identify the predictors of mortality among breast cancer patients. Results: For this study, 482 participants had followed for 8824 person-months total analysis time or at-risk time. In our findings, the overall survival of breast cancer patients at the end of two and five years was 54.24% and 25.8%, respectively. In the multivariable Cox regression model, age, stage of BC, menopausal status, and surgical therapy were significant predictors of death. Conclusion: The overall survival after two years was 54.24%, and after five years was 25.8%. This result is lower than the recently published report and indicates that in LMIC, especially in rural cancer centers, the infrastructure and resources for routine screening mammography are often unavailable. Therefore, there is a need to promote early diagnosis of BC at each level of health-care delivery point.
Perceptions and Attitudes Towards COVID-19 Vaccination Amongst Pregnant and Postpartum Individuals

Introduction: This study aims to characterize attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination and to evaluate factors associated with vaccine uptake amongst pregnant individuals. Methods: An anonymous survey was distributed to a convenience sample of pregnant individuals receiving prenatal care at two large urban academic hospitals in a single healthcare network in Massachusetts. Individual demographic variables were included in the survey along with questions assessing attitudes towards COVID-19 and vaccination in pregnancy. Results: Of 477 respondents, 233 (49.3%) had received or were scheduled to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Age, White race, non-Hispanic/LatinX ethnicity, working from home, and typical receipt of the influenza vaccine were associated with COVID-19 vaccination. 276 respondents (58.4%) reported that their provider recommended the COVID-19 vaccine in pregnancy; these participants were more likely to have received a vaccine (OR 5.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.68-9.26). Vaccinated individuals were less likely to be worried about the effects of the vaccine on themselves (OR 0.18, 95% CI 0.12-0.27) or their developing babies (OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.11-0.26). Unvaccinated individuals were less likely to report that it is easy to schedule a COVID-19 vaccine (OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.34-0.93), to travel to receive a vaccine (OR 0.19, 95% CI 0.10-0.36), and to miss work to receive a vaccine (OR 0.30, 95% CI 0.18-0.48). Conclusions: Strategies are needed to improve patient education regarding vaccine side effects and safety in pregnancy and to change policy to make it feasible for pregnant patients to schedule and miss work without loss of pay to get vaccinated.
