An exploratory study on the effects of rearing system and plumage colour on performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality of local turkeys

In a bid to improve the productive potentials of local turkeys in developing countries, a total of 240 unsexed day-old poults arranged in a 2 × 2 factorial layout into 4 treatments with two rearing systems (indoor and outdoor) and two plumage colours (white and black) were used for this study. Poults were brooded for 4 weeks followed by an acclimatization period of 2 weeks in the two different rearing systems before the commencement of the study which lasted 10 weeks. Each treatment consisting of 60 birds was further sub-divided into six replicates of 10 birds per replicate. Data obtained were subjected to Analysis of Variance in a Completely Randomized Design. Results on performance in the grower phase showed turkeys reared in indoor system recorded significantly (p<0.05) higher weight gain (29.39 vs. 105.19 g/bird/day) and daily feed intake (27.18 vs. 98.11 g/bird/day) compare to turkeys under outdoor system. In addition, weight gain was significantly (p<0.05) higher (29.16 g/bird/day) in turkeys with black plumage than (27.42 g/bird/day) recorded in turkeys with white plumage. However, in the finisher phase turkeys under outdoor system recorded significantly (p<0.05) higher weight gain than turkeys under indoor system. In the finisher phase, interaction effects showed best weight gain and Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) (39.22 g/bird/day and 4.60) in whiteplumaged turkeys reared in outdoor system. Turkeys under outdoor system also had significantly (p<0.05) higher back and spleen percentages. However, proportions of thigh were significantly (p<0.05) higher in turkeys reared indoor. In addition, white-plumaged turkeys recorded significantly (p<0.05) higher (21.07%) cooking loss than 14.58% recorded in turkeys with black plumage. In conclusion, improved weight gain with best FCR at finisher phase as well as highest spleen portion and cooking loss in thigh meat was obtained in white-plumaged turkeys reared in outdoor system.

The Effect of Purgative Manna and Clofibrate on Neonatal Unconjugated Hyperbilirubinemia

This study was conducted to determine the effect of purgative Manna and clofibrate on unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia of term neonates. In this randomized clinical trial study, sixty neonates suffering from unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia were evaluated. The neonates were divided into three groups using balanced block randomization. Group A (control group-received only phototherapy), group B (intervention group-received purgative Manna and phototherapy) and group C (intervention group-received clofibrate and phototherapy). After the intervention, the amount of serum bilirubin reduction was compared between groups. There was no significant difference among group A, B, and C in terms of serum bilirubin reduction in 24, 48 and 72 hours after starting the intervention (P>0.05). The hospital stays in the control group was significantly longer than the intervention groups (P<0.05). No side effects were observed related to using purgative Mienna and clofibrate. The present study showed that prescribing of purgative Manna and clofibrate has no effect on reduction of serum bilirubin level in term neonates with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Thus, it seems that the administration of these drugs is not necessary. Further studies in this regard are recommended. © 2019 Tehran University of Medical Sciences. All rights reserved.

Relationship between organizational justice and trust among nurses in Assiut University Hospital

In the recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the issue of organizational justice and its impacts on organizational outcomes. The concept of justice is central to understanding a wide range of human behavior in the organizational setting. Organizational justice refers to employee's perceptions of fairness in the workplace. It has shown to be associated with several outcomes such as job satisfaction, work motivation This study was amid to assessing the organizational justice and trust in three university hospitals at Assuit. Relationship between organizational justice and trust Research design: was a cross-sectional descriptive correlation research design. Setting: The study was carried out at Assiut University Hospitals (main, pediatric and woman reproductive health hospital) Subject: included a representative sample (727) from the total number of nurses who working in the three hospitals. Tools: Three tools were used for data collection; Organizational Justice Questionnaire, and Organizational Trust Scale. Results revealed that there was a significant positive relationship between organizational justice and trust conclusions: The nurses' perception of organizational justice was significantly correlated with organizational trust. Recommendation: Organizational management should apply and create what is called climate of fairness and trust through working within a team contribution.
Handwashing Practices Among Children in Public Schools in Imo State, Nigeria

This study examined the availability and utilization of handwashing facilities among public primary school pupils in Okigwe Education Zone two (2) of Imo State, Nigeria. Four research questions were posed to guide the study. One hypothesis was formulated and tested. The study adopted a survey research design. Random sampling technique was used to select a sample size for the study. 295 pupils (age bracket 6–14 years) from 12 public primary schools and their form teachers participated in the study. Data were collected with the aid of a structured questionnaire designed from UNICEF's checklist modules for appraising hand washing facilities in schools. Also, observation and focus group discussion were used for the data collection on handwashing practices among pupils using hand washing facilities.Data generated were analyzed using percentage and frequency distribution counts in order to answer the research questions. All information from the focus group discussion using codes and themes were transcribed, grouped and analyzed based on the specific objectives. Findings suggest that out of the twelve schools observed, only two schools had both a handwashing basin with clean water that runs and improvised handwashing facilities at the same time. Based on the findings, hand washing facilities and supplies should be a major priority in all primary schools in Okigwe Education Zone 2 because of its importance in preventing communicable diseases. School health educators should work in conjunction with the Parents Teachers Association of each school to ensure constant and adequate provision of handwashing facilities and supplies. This will further encourage their usage and also reduce absence from schools due to infections.
Justice in organizations and its impact on Organizational Citizenship Behaviors: A multidimensional approach

Abstract This research was aimed at investigating the impact of multifocal organizational justice on Organizational Citizenship Behaviors (OCBs). Using convenience sampling, a questionnaire was administered to (330) employees in Jordanian pharmaceutical industry companies. The research adopted well validated measures for multifocal organizational justice (distributive, procedural, and interpersonal) and also for measuring OCBs. The results of hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that overall organizational justice predicted (40%) of the variance in OCBs. Agent-referenced organizational justice was found to be a stronger predictor of OCBs than system-referenced organizational justice. Moreover, this research has pinpointed interpersonal justice as being the strongest predictor of OCBs. The research recommended the Jordanian pharmaceutical industry companies retain and employ direct supervisors who have the necessary awareness and understanding of the importance of their role in encouraging OCBs as well as the necessary experience for this role.

DETERMINISM OF INNOVATION

Up until the end of the twentieth century, the public service broadcasters (PSBs) owned the Dutch media landscape. It was when other broadcasters were allowed to join the market that the media landscape started to commercialize. The technological development of the internet has resulted into a globalized media landscape, allowing for international players to join the Dutch media landscape. Moreover, with the enhancement of digital transformations and media proliferation, the global media landscape has become fragmented. Besides the traditional forms of media, new media have altered the way it is consumed. Newspapers can be read online, radio has the possibility to be streamed, and television programs can be time-shifted through on-demand services. Furthermore, media services no longer just function as a source for information, education and/or entertainment. Consequently, market forces and consumer behavior are changing. Social media and other new media services have adjusted the traditional manner of media production, distribution, and consumption. In addition, businesses are becoming increasingly reliant on these new forms of media and the data they produce. As a result, businesses are becoming more data driven. With the incorporation of digital and data innovation, the media landscape got even further commercialized and personalized. Advertisements have become a key component in the experience of new media services. Moreover, with the use of smart technologies such as algorithms, advertisements have the capability to be personalized. This innovation of personalization has scattered throughout the new media landscape, provoking further digital transformations. Furthermore, some conservative companies have become bankrupt as the new media innovations were not properly incorporated. Dutch PSBs are coping with the same transitional failures due to governmental, organizational and market influences. This study investigates the forces that challenge the adaptivity of innovation by the Dutch PSBs. Consequently, the research question is stated as the following: To what extent are Dutch public service broadcasters subject to innovation failure, and how do they adapt to innovation failure due to the forces of challenges and opportunities of digitaland data -innovation within the changing media landscape? This research question is answered through qualitative research methods. The method of triangulation, including document analysis, netnography and interviews, has been based on a systematic combining research approach. Consequently, the data retrieved from documents, online observations, and interviews from three national broadcasters, the government, and the overarching PSB have been analyzed through thematic content analysis.
The Relationship between Corporate Governance Attributes and Environmental Disclosure Quality of Malaysian Public Listed Companies

This study aims to assess the effects of corporate governance attributes consists of proportion of independent directors, non-duality of Chief Executive Officer (CEO), board size and managerial ownership on environmental disclosure quality of Malaysian public listed companies. Besides good financial returns, companies today are also expected by its stakeholders to contribute back to the society in terms of sustainability activities despite Malaysia is still in the midst of improving the corporate governance. The composition of corporate board assistances in improving corporate performance remains as an issue. Environmental improvement and contribution commonly made through environmental disclosure, however, besides complying with regulations and being voluntary in reporting on environmental, the quality of the environmental disclosure is still unclear. This study is carried out in Malaysia among companies in environmentally sensitive industry as the operations of environmentally sensitive industry are considered to be more detrimental to the environment. Data are extracted from companies’ annual reports over five years’ duration, namely year 2012 to 2016. The data collected is being analyzed using panel data analysis. The proportion of independent directors and non-duality of CEO are significant in improving the environmental disclosure quality of Malaysian listed companies.
Timing of frozen-thawed embryo transfer after controlled ovarian stimulation in a non-elective freeze-all policy.

Background Non-elective freeze-all policy has been increasingly utilized in assisted reproductive treatment, but the optimal timing of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) after controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) remains to be investigated. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 2,998 patients who underwent their first FETs after the first COS cycles using the non-elective freeze-all strategy from Jan 2013 to Dec 2016 at a tertiary-care academic medical center. Patients were divided into the "immediate" group in which FET took place within the first menstrual cycle after oocyte retrieval, and the "delayed" group where FET started after one or more menstrual cycles following COS. Results The mean interval between oocyte retrieval and FET was 33.3±5.8 days in the immediate group (n=280; 9.3%) and 91.3±19.4 days in the delayed group (n=2,718; 90.7%). Cycles with delayed FET had a significantly lower live birth rate than those with immediate FET before [1,246/2,718 (45.8%) vs. 156/280 (55.7%); P=0.002] and after propensity score matching (PSM) [123/280 (43.9%) vs. 156/280 (55.7%); P=0.005]. When controlling for a number of confounding factors by multivariable logistic regression analysis, the risk remained significant with the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) [95% confidence interval (CI)] of 0.69 (0.53-0.90) and 0.60 (0.42-0.85) before and after matching, respectively. Conclusions Performing FET immediately within the first menstrual cycle following COS was associated with a higher chance to achieve live birth compared with delaying FET to subsequent cycles in a non-elective freeze-all policy. However, further randomized controlled trials are still needed to confirm this conclusion.
Impacts of Norway spruce (Picea abies L., H. Karst.) stands on soil in continental Croatia

Abstract: A quantitative analysis of pedo-physiological indicators aimed at determining changes in the soil attributable to the effects of spruce plantations was done. The study was conducted at eight sites in central and north-western Croatia where spruce plantations were planted in the late 20th century. At each site, a pedological profile was opened within the spruce plantation and the endo-morphological parameters of the soil were determined. Composite soil samples from two depths (0-10 cm and 10-20 cm) and from the forest floor were taken in the spruce plantation and compared with samples taken at plots covered by natural vegetation (natural stands) located in the surroundings. The following pedo-physiographic indicators were measured on the collected soil samples: quantity of forest floor, particle size distribution of soil, pH values in H2O and in CaCl2 aqueous solution (concentration 0.01 mol dm-3), content of Corg, content of Ntot and content of bioavailable nutrients (using the Mehlich III method). The results showed that the forest floor had a higher mass in the spruce plantations than in natural stands. The mineral soil showed clear trends of influence of the spruce plantations on soil in terms of reduced pH values. Most plots in the spruce plantations showed a lower nitrogen content in the soil, a higher C/N ratio and lower content of bioavailable phosphorus. This study provides an insight into the amelioration effects of spruce plantations on soil, and represent a reliable basis for decision-making in planning specific interventions in terrestrial ecosystems, such as the establishment of new forest plantations.
Entering the Major Leagues: The Effect of Import Competition from the United States on Workers and Firms in an Emerging Economy

Though abundant evidence shows that import competition from low-wage countries decreases manufacturing employment and wages of high-wage countries, less is known about the reverse: the impact of import competition from high-wage countries on emerging economies. This paper uses a natural experiment to examine the effects of import competition from the United States on workers and firms in Colombia. We exploit industry variation in import exposure and regional variation in import access in the wake of a free trade agreement that increased import competition in Colombia but left its exports unaffected. Using administrative employer-employee data to identify proxies for productivity and skills, we find that a 10 percent increase in import competition from the United States decreases employment in Colombia by 6.4 percent in affected industries and states. The impacts are driven largely by the exit and shrinking of less-productive firms. Less-skilled workers experience the greatest impacts, with effects on employment lasting for at least four years. Import competition induces workers to shift from affected to unaffected industries and states, and decreases the wage of workers employed in lessproductive firms.

SHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES MORPHOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR DIVERSITY IN DURUM

Morphological and molecular diversity study and the associated ethnobotanical profile of durum wheat landraces (farmers' varieties) of North Shewa have been undertaken in this study. Morphological diversity stndy on thirteen durnm wheat popnlations (381 genotypes) ,collected earlier by the Biodiversity Conservation and Research Institute from five awrajas and ten weredas of North Shewa region, was conducted using six heritable qualitative traits. The diversity was estimated using Shannon Weaver diversity index (H'). H' was estimated for each population, wereda, awraja and altitudinal class and the entire collection. On population basis H' is lowest at Basona Warena wereda (0.25 ± 0.08) and highest at Kimbibit Wereda (0.65 ± 0.16). On awraja basis H' ranged from (0.50 ± 0.03) in Gam Midir to (0.73 ± 0.10) in Selale. On altitudinal basis, the third altitudinal class (2401-2600 m.a.s.l.) sc ored the highest H' (0.78). The diversity index for the study area is very high (0.79 ± 0.08). On character basis seed color showed the highest H' (0.97). Only glume pubescence was conspicuously unique to specific awmja and altitudinal class. A high diversity of the crop is also observed from the ethnobotany study. A total of twenty-five different farmers' varieties having different vernacular names were recorded. The environmental, social (cultural) and economic factors were identified by the farmer as factors for maintaining the existing diversity. The different varieties have important merits in agronomy, disease resistance, traditional use values and so on. Farmers have their own folk taxonomy system for identifying and classifying their varieties. The Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) molecular technique with a gluten-coding single primer system with the following sequence, { 5'ATG AAG ACC TTC CTC GTC TT3'} { 5'-AAC GCC GAA TGG CAC ACT A3' } showed good demonstration of the inter-population diversity of the thirteen populations. Except three populations, all the rest showed diffel'ent banding patterns with different base pair fmgments for the same primer used. Generally the whole study confirmed the existence of strikingly high diversity of durum wheat in the study area and underlines the role of the indigenous knowledge of farmers for the existing diversity.
-Betti numbers of coamenable quantum groups

We prove that a compact quantum group is coamenable if and only if its corepresentation ring is amenable. We further propose a Følner condition for compact quantum groups and prove it to be equivalent to coamenability. Using this Følner condition, we prove that for a coamenable compact quantum group with tracial Haar state, the enveloping von Neumann algebra is dimension flat over the Hopf algebra of matrix coefficients. This generalizes a theorem of Lück from the group case to the quantum group case, and provides examples of compact quantum groups with vanishing L-Betti numbers. Introduction The theory of L-Betti numbers for discrete groups is originally due to Atiyah and dates back to the seventies [1]. These L-Betti numbers are defined for those discrete groups that permit a free, proper and cocompact action on some contractible, Riemannian manifold X . If Γ is such a group, the space of square integrable p-forms on X becomes a finitely generated Hilbert module for the group von Neumann algebra L (Γ). As such it has a Murray-von Neumann dimension which turns out to be independent of the choice of X and is called the p-th L-Betti number of Γ, denoted β (2) p (Γ). More recently, Lück [21, 22, 23] transported the notion of Murray-von Neumann dimension to the setting of finitely generated projective (algebraic) L (Γ)-modules and extended thereafter the domain of definition to the class of all modules. With this extended dimension function, dimL (Γ)(−), it is possible to extend the notion of L-Betti numbers to cover all discrete groups Γ by setting β p (Γ) = dimL (Γ) Tor CΓ p (L (Γ),C). For more details on the relations between the different definitions of L-Betti numbers and the extended dimension function we refer to Lück’s book [24]. All the ingredients in the homological algebraic definition above have fully developed analogues in the world of compact quantum groups, and using this dictionary the notion of L-Betti numbers was generalized to the quantum
