Metabolizable and Net Energy Values of Expanded Cottonseed Meal for Laying Hens and Broiler Chickens

Three experiments were conducted to determine the metabolizable energy (ME) and net energy (NE) values of expanded cottonseed meal (ECSM) for broilers aged 14–16 days (Experiment 1), broilers aged 28–30 days (Experiment 2), and 45-week-old Hy-Line Brown hens (Experiment 3). Reference diets based on corn-soybean meal were used to meet the nutritional needs of the birds. The test diets contained ECSM as basis, which was used to replace 18.5% of the gross energy-yielding ingredients from the reference diet. The birds were fed a commercial feed before the experimental period. After the dietary adaptation period, six birds per replicate (Experiment 1) and two birds per replicate (Experiments 2 and 3) for each treatment group were placed in an individual open-circuit respiratory calorimetry chamber for 3 days. Daily O2 consumption and CO2 production were recorded, and excreta samples were collected. The ME and NE values of ECSM were determined using the substitution method. The apparent metabolizable energy (AME) values of ECSM for experiments 1, 2, and 3 were 2605.85, 2178.31, and 2782.60 kcal/kg of dry matter (DM), respectively. The NE values were 1655.23, 1196.64, and 1538.19 kcal/kg of DM, respectively. The NE:AME ratios of ECSM were 63.52%, 54.93%, and 55.29%, respectively. Our data showed that the ME and NE values of ECSM differed across various growth stages and types of chickens. These results demonstrate that the appropriate ME and NE should be used in the design of different feed formulas for specific growth stages and types of chickens.
Reproductive biology of the Golden grey mullet Liza aurata (Risso, 1810) in Bardawil Lagoon, Egypt

Mullets (family: Mugilidae) are the highly important fish resources in Bardawil Lagoon as they contribute to about 24.69% of the total fish production of the Bardawil Lagoon (GAFRD 2019). In the aforementioned lagoon, three species can be identified that form the main commercial catch of mullets; namely, Mugil cephalus, Liza ramada and L. aurata They are caught by veranda or bouss fishing gear in the lagoon.

Welfare recipients communicated pathways to resilience during stigma and material hardship in the heartland of America

ABSTRACT When individuals and families experience material hardship, government assistance programs and community services are there to help. The use of government assistance programs in the United States is highly stigmatized due to neoliberal ideology. The present study centers the lived experiences of those who have experienced material hardship and had firsthand experience with public assistance programs. This phronetic research study analyzed 27 semi-structured interviews with welfare recipients to explore how they used communication to cultivate resilience in response to material hardship and adversity. The findings of this study demonstrate the connection between communication behaviors and resilient reintegration. Resilient communication behaviors included the use of a communication network and the construction of occupational and familial identity anchors. When participants lacked resilient communication behaviors, they faced more isolation. This study points to the importance of communication as a resilience process in response to material hardship and neoliberal stigma.
The dispositive of terrorism during the war on terrorism: the UNSC’s approach to concrete terror emergencies in the Middle East

ABSTRACT This study adopts a constructivist approach to reveal the function of the dispositive of terrorism in the UN Security Council. While some CTS studies focus on genealogies of terrorism at the UN based on a general “global terrorism” discourse, this study focuses on concrete emergencies. The methodology compares 652 states’ deliberations and resolutions during a surge in violence between 2006 and 2009 in four cases: Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel-Palestinian, and Israel-Lebanon. This study argues that the UN discourse in the Security Council on terrorism functions as a way of reifying states, by employing a dyad of self-other, terrorists, and counter-terrorism, which in practice is constructive for state stability and state-building. It bypasses concrete instrumental disputes in favour of a comprehensive approach centred around the sovereign state. This construction sidelines global terrorist organisations such as al-Qaida, and state-terrorists such as Iran.
Effect of titanium dioxide nanotubes on the mechanical and antibacterial properties of the low-viscosity bulk-fill composite

Abstract The purpose of this investigation is to determine the impact of titanium dioxide nanotubes (TiO2-n) on the mechanical and antibacterial properties of bulk-fill composite resin. TiO2-n were synthesized in laboratory conditions using the hydrothermal method. Varying amounts of TiO2-n were included in the bulk-fill composite resin. Microhardness, surface roughness, and the three-point bending test were used to determine the mechanical properties of the composite. After the flexural strength test, the fractured surfaces of the composite resin were examined with a high-resolution scanning electron microscope. The antibacterial activity of Streptococcus mutans (S.mutans) and Lactobacillus Casei (L.casei) was assessed using a direct contact test. The statistical examination was completed using IBM SPSS Statistics 22. Group differences were compared using the Kruskal Wallis and Dunn tests (p < 0.05). The addition of TiO2-n did not change the roughness of the bulk-fill composites (p > 0.05). Adding 0.5% and 1% TiO2-n increased the microhardness of the bulk-fill composite (p < 0.05). Adding TiO2-n did not change the three-point bending results of the bulk-fill composite (p > 0.05). Though adding TiO2-n did not have an antibacterial impact on S.mutans (p > 0.05), adding 0.5% TiO2-n produced an antibacterial impact on L.casei in daylight (p < 0.05). The addition of 0.5% and 1% TiO2-n increased the microhardness of the top surface of the bulk-fill composite without negatively affecting surface roughness or the composite’s three-point bending properties Adding 0.5% TiO2-n to the composite resin produced an antibacterial impact on L.casei in daylight.
Factors affecting teachers' willingness of teaching social studies online after the Pandemic of CORONA: A Prospective Study

The present study examined social studies teachers' willingness to pursue online teaching in the future. It also examined what factors affect such willingness, as well as the difference in this willingness. The researcher administered a questionnaire of 37 statement items on a sample of 283 Kuwaiti social studies teachers of both genders. The results showed that the sample teachers did indicate a steep willingness. However, it also demonstrated that the factors related to the learning environment were the most deterring ones. The differences between male teachers and females did not exist in the present study. The researcher concluded the study with some suggestions and recommendations concentrating on improving social studies teachers' willingness to online teaching that can warrant conclusive education of the students.
Body image dissatisfaction in adolescent girls in puberty

The aim of this study was to analyze body image satisfaction among girls from different pubertal groups using two assessment instruments. The sample consisted of 82 adolescent girls, aged 11 to 14 years, divided into two groups: pre- and post-menarche. The Kakeshita’s Body Image Scale (BIS) and Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) were used to assess body image dissatisfaction. For comparisons of anthropometric variables between pubertal groups, Student's t-test was used for independent samples. Comparisons between BMI classifications, body image satisfaction and desire for body image change were performed using chi-square and binomial tests for both groups. For the comparison between the instruments, the Kappa coefficient (K) was calculated. The results showed that, for BIS, more than 81% of adolescents showed dissatisfaction, being higher among adolescents in post-menarche. For BSQ, the prevalence of body dissatisfaction was lower, but the results did not confirm those previously observed. In both instruments (BIS and BSQ), there were no differences between groups. However, the study indicated a tendency for post-menarche girls to show greater dissatisfaction in relation to pre-menarche adolescents, while the instruments used do not show agreement in the results.
Growth characteristics of Suaeda salsa under different soil salinity gradients in controlled experiments

Xinjiang is the province with the largest saline-alkali land in China. The growth of halophytes will be stressed when their salt content reaches the threshold. In this study, the pot experiments were conducted and Suaeda salsa, a typical halophyte, was selected as the object to explore the relationship between growth characteristics and salt content under different soil salinity gradients. Salinity gradients were set according to the maximum soil salinity in the current years of Ebinur Lake Wetland National Nature Reserve (ELWNNR). They were classified using the following threshold values: ≤2 g/kg (Control Group), 10 g/kg, 20 g/kg, 30 g/kg, and 40 g/kg. The original spectrum, trilateral position and growth characteristics were used as indexes for analysis. With the increase of soil salt content, the red edge shift occurs first, followed by the blue edge shift. The position of yellow edge, green peak and blue edge were not sensitive with the change of soil salinity. This indicates that the red edge is the best indicator for evaluating plant growth. Compared with the Control Group, when the salt content is less than 10 g/kg, the growth status of plant seems not significantly affected. However, plant growth begins to be stressed when the salt content increases to 20 g/kg, which is a turning point for plant health. The increase of soil salt content can inhibit chlorophyll synthesis and plant growth. Plants begin to die when the salt content reaches the 40 g/kg. Therefore, 40 g/kg could be regarded as the critical point of salt content which inhibits plant growth. The study also shows that the relationship between plant-height change rate and soil salt content is the most significant, indicating that the plant-height change rate is significantly impacted by soil salt content.

Neural knowledge assembly in humans and deep networks

Human understanding of the world can change rapidly when new information comes to light, such as when a plot twist occurs in a work of fiction. This flexible “knowledge assembly” requires few-shot reorganisation of neural codes for relations among objects and events. However, existing computational theories are largely silent about how this could occur. Here, participants learned a transitive ordering among novel objects within two distinct contexts, before exposure to new knowledge revealing how the contexts were linked. BOLD signals in dorsal frontoparietal cortical areas revealed that objects were rapidly and dramatically rearranged on the neural manifold after minimal exposure to the linking information. We then adapt stochastic online gradient descent to permit similar rapid knowledge assembly in a neural network model.
The Association of Clinical Outcomes with Posttreatment Changes in the Relative Eosinophil Counts and Neutrophil-to-Eosinophil Ratio in Patients with Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma Treated with Pembrolizumab

Background To evaluate the association of clinical outcomes with posttreatment changes in the relative eosinophil count (REC) and neutrophil-to-eosinophil ratio (NER) in patients with advanced urothelial cancer (UC) treated with pembrolizumab. Materials and Methods We retrospectively analyzed 105 patients with advanced UC who received pembrolizumab after the failure of platinum-based chemotherapy. The REC and NER before and three weeks after pembrolizumab were recorded. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine the optimal cut-off values for analyzing the risk. Results There were no significant differences in the overall survival (OS) between the REC ≥4.8% and <4.8% groups and the NER ≥13.7 and <13.7 groups before pembrolizumab (p=0.997 and 0.669, respectively). However, a significant difference in the OS was confirmed between the increased and decreased REC groups and between the decreased and increased NER groups at 3 weeks after pembrolizumab (p<0.001 and 0.002, respectively). Multivariate analyses revealed that an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status ≥2 (P=0.003), albumin <3.7 g/dl (p=0.002), LDH >246 U/L (p=0.011), disease site ≥3 organs (p=0.019), decreased posttreatment REC (3 weeks later) (p=0.002) and increased posttreatment NER (3 weeks later) (p=0.022) were independent prognostic factors for a worse OS. Conclusion An increased REC and decreased NER after pembrolizumab may be significant early predictive markers of improved clinical outcomes in patients with advanced UC receiving pembrolizumab.
Women Entrepreneurs' Networks and Innovation: Multiple Cases of Food Manufacturing Industry

The purpose of this study is to explore the social network that lead to innovation among women entrepreneurs (WE) in small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). This paper is to identify the most important networks that helped WE in business deal and determine the way networks contribute to innovation in entrepreneurs' businesses. Insights were derived through a qualitative, in-depth, interview-based study of five WE operating Food Manufacturing Industry in Selangor. There is an urgent need to explore the social network that lead to innovation among WE. Moreover, with complex social phenomenon where relationships of entrepreneurs is prominent, this method is the most suitable to uncover the scenario. Interviews conducted with WE Bumiputera (Indigenous) of small manufacturing of food and beverages firms located in Selangor. Hence, the findings indicate that these micro-entrepreneurs have successfully innovate their business, with the helped by two main networks that become their strong supporter that are Personal Network and Business Network. In addition, this paper reveal the reasons entrepreneurs were not involved in all networks at once. Besides, they provide explanations for not being involved in the other three networks, which are Professional, Reputation, Competition Network, and Community Network. Therefore, from the ideas, comments, and supports from both main network, they have been successful in creating product innovation, process innovation and marketing innovation but not being able to make organizational innovation. Finally, this study provide recommendations to SMEs, government agencies and future researchers.
Evaluation of Yoghurt Fortified with Encapsulated Echium Oil Rich in Stearidonic Acid as a Low-Fat Dairy Food

Echium oil (EO) is oil rich in stearidonic acid (SDA) as well as linolenic acid, which have many health benefits, and protective roles in inflammation, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. The study aims to produce and evaluate yoghurt fortified with encapsulated echium oil (EEO) as a functional low-fat dairy food. The EEO was added to skimmed buffalo milk at rate of 0, 2, 4, and 6% (w/v) to create 4 treatments. Physiochemical, microbiological properties, and sensory acceptance were evaluated in the fresh samples and during the storage period at 5±2°C for 21 days. As the EEO increased, soluble nitrogen (WSN/TN ratio), acetaldehyde and viscosity increased while pH value decreased. In addition, the WSN/TN ratio, diacetyl, and viscosity gradually increased, but the pH value and acetaldehyde content decreased with increasing storage time. Yoghurt fortified with EEO had the lowest peroxide value compared to control sample. The addition of EEO had no significantly (p≤0.05) effect on viability of starter culture during storage period. The best of sensory evaluation was achieved by addition 2% EEO.
Tweeting and Retweeting: Gender Discrepancies in Discursive Political Engagement and Influence on Twitter

ABSTRACT Two studies were conducted to examine gender differences in the discursive political engagement on Twitter. Study 1 analysed about 5.6 million English tweets regarding nine political issues and one non-political issue. It found that, compared with men’s tweets, a higher proportion of women’s tweets are retweets, and that the majority of women’s retweets originate from men. The results may indicate that women have arelatively lower level of political efficacy and/or sense a higher level of environmental risk than men when participating in political discussions on Twitter. They may also indicate that men have a more significant influence than women on Twitter. Study 2 collected 225 survey responses from the adults in the U.S. via Qualtrics’s online panel. The results partly support the findings of study 1, showing that on average, women have a lower level of perceived political efficacy than men, which affects the likelihood of their political expression along with a feeling of communal support.
Serum CCL20 Level in Patients with Vitiligo

Background: Vitiligo is a chronic, acquired depigmenting cutaneous disorder due to damage of melanocytes in genetically susceptible persons. The existence of vitiligo is mediated by the autoimmune dysfunction of cases. CCL20 was expressed at low levels in normal human skin, because both CCL20 and CCR6 were significantly up-regulated within chronic inflammatory cutaneous disorders.CCL20 interacts with its receptor CCR6 to recruit IL-17A-forming cells into skin. Objective: This study was aimed to assess relationship between serum level of CCL20 in cases with vitiligo and its correlation to disease severity and activity Patients and methods: This case-control study included a total of fifty cases with vitiligo and 30 matched age and sex control attending at the outpatient clinic of Dermatology, Mansoura University Hospital. Results: CCL20 levels were considerably greater within vitiligo cases when compared to controls. CCL20 levels were found to be considerably higher in active vitiligo cases in comparison to stable vitiligo cases. Conclusion: It could be concluded that the serum level of CCL20 was demonstrated to be correlated positively with vitiligo-affected patients. Additionally, it seems to have a positive association with disease activity but not with disorder duration so CCL20 could be a candidate as a biomarker to evaluate the activity of vitiligo as well as it is a good predictor of vitiligo and discriminates patients from control.
The nomenclatural status of the amphibian and reptile nomina introduced by  La Cepède in his Histoire Naturelle des Quadrupèdes Ovipares et des Serpens, with comments on various questions of zoological nomenclature

The ‘suppression’ (invalidation) for nomenclatural purposes by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature of the work Histoire Naturelle des Quadrupèdes Ovipares et des Serpens first published by La Cepède from 1788 to 1790 brought no benefit of any kind to zoological taxonomy and nomenclature but generated several nomenclatural problems. Here we review the history of the many discussions and proposals, as well as the successive and contradictory decisions of the Commission, regarding this work and the new nomina it contains, and we make new proposals to solve some of the problems created by these decisions. We suggest the Commission should take the initiative to restore nomenclatural availability to 18 nomina of La Cepède invalidated or of unclear status following its previous actions. More generally, we think that the use of the Plenary Power by the Commission should be more strictly regulated and made less easy and straightforward, and that the whole invalidation of complete works that have been considered as nomenclaturally available for a very long time in many works (e.g., 100 works in the 100 immediately preceding years) should be forbidden, and that the Commission should rather concentrate its attention and action on nomina rather than on works. Besides, we show that the snake nomen Coluber trigonocephalus Donndorff, 1798, currently considered valid, is invalid, and should be replaced by the nomen Coluber capitetriangulatus Bonnaterre, 1790.
