Milk and Dairy Products Production in Benin

Deger zinciri yaklasimina oncelik veren tarim sektorundeki iyilestirme stratejisi, hayvanciligi gelistirme politikasi cercevesinde hem sut uretimine hem de islenmesine olan ilginin yeniden canlandirilmasina yol acmistir. Benin buyuk bir sigir yetistiricisi olmamasina ragmen yerel olarak uretilen inek sutunun tuketimi son yillarda onemli olcude artmistir. Sut ve sut urunlerinin pastoral topluluklarin diyet ve ekonomisindeki rolu iyi bilinmektedir. Bununla birlikte, ulkede sut uretimi hala dusuktur ve genetik veya bircok diger faktore baglidir. Benin sut endustrisinin ekonomik ve besleyici onemine ragmen hala zanaatkâr olmasinin nedeni ise budur. Benin’deki sut endustrisi, toplumun besinsel ihtiyaclarinin karsilanmasina yardimci olan; yerel bir peynir olan "Wagashi" ve yerel bir icecek olan "Degue" gibi urunlerin pazarlanmasini saglamaktadir. Diger unsurlarin yani sira, uretim kosullari ile isleme ve muhafaza uygulamalarindaki standardizasyon eksikligi, Benin’de uretilen sut urunlerinin tuketiminden kaynaklanan riskleri hakli kilan kritik noktalardir. Benin’de son yillarda ithal edilen sut ve sut urunlerinin miktarindaki dusus, yerel urunlerin onemli bir rol oynadigi sut urunleri piyasasinin bolunmesine yol acmistir; bu nedenle sut uretim potansiyeli ile tuketiminden kaynaklanan risklerin, tuketicinin saglik guvenligine odaklanmis bir sanayilesme acisindan degerlendirilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu derlemede, Benin’deki sut ve sut urunlerinin diyetteki onemi, sut uretimine katilan hayvan irklari ve performanslari ile Benin'de uretilen sut urunlerinin tuketimine iliskin riskler tartisilmistir.
Reconstructing the palaeoenvironment at the early Mesolithic site of Lake Duvensee: Ground-penetrating radar and geoarchaeology for 3D facies mapping

We investigate the landscape development of the early Mesolithic hunter-gatherer sites of Duvensee (10000–6500 cal. BCE). Based on ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and geoarchaeological drillings, we present for the first time a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the palaeoenvironment of 63 ha covering subarea of the former lake during the Mesolithic. The archaeological aims were (1) to detect the location of former islands possibly hosting hunter-gatherer settlements and (2) to reconstruct the ancient landscape development for understanding prehistoric land use. The research in Duvensee lasts almost 100 years, providing vivid illustrations of early Mesolithic life. Clusters of Mesolithic camps have been found located on small sand hills that formed islands in the prehistoric lake. For this environment, we present depth maps of the three most important sedimentary facies interfaces of the ancient Lake Duvensee. Interface1 represents the transition between coarse organic sediments (peat and coarse detritus gyttja) and fine-grained organic sediments (fine detritus gyttja, calcareous gyttja), Interface2 represents the transition to the underlying clayish-loamy sediments, and Interface3 marks the top of the basal sand deposits at the lake bottom. From Interface3, we identified the location and extent of five former islands with Mesolithic camps. Stratigraphic information from the corings enabled us to create a 3D model of the spatio-temporal development of the Duvensee bog. The locations of the islands and their estimated dive-up times agree with the spatio-temporal pattern of the previous archaeological finds. The model shows where hunter-gatherers could settle and move from one island to another following the shorelines of the overgrowing lake. The 3D stratigraphic model provides growth and shrinking rates of the island and lake areas in the Mesolithic, and volumes of organic and non-organic deposited lake sediments. Besides, it provides a basis for a sustainable groundwater management needed for heritage preservation.
Which mesh should be used to repair abdominal wall defect in peritonitis? An experimental study

It is not uncommon for surgeons to encounter cases where it is not possible to perform the primary closure of the abdominal wall after abdominal surgery. This is often seen in general surgery, trauma surgery, and surgical oncology. Examples of cases where the abdominal wall are not primarily closed are massive visceral edema due to resuscitation or loss of abdominal wall, increased intraabdominal pressure due to large retroperitoneal hematoma, excision of the abdominal wall due to neoplasia or necrotizing soft tissue infection, possibility of wound necrosis or infection under high pressure in abdominal compartment syndrome, visceral or peritoneal edema due to intraabdominal sepsis, or potential recurrent surgery. These conditions are often accompanied by fecal contamination. The repair of contaminated abdominal wall defects remains a major challenge for surgeons. If possible, autogenous materials should be preferred for repair; however, in cases where the fascia is not sufficient, a prosthetic material can be used. Surgeons use various materials to temporarily close the abdominal ABSTRACT
Adjusting to standards: reflections from ‘auditees’ at residential homes for children in Sweden

Abstract In recent years, state inspection of Swedish residential care for children has been reinforced. This study explores how inspections are perceived from the point of view of residential staff. The empirical material is based on interviews (n = 23) with residential staff and managers (n = 55) of residential homes subject to requirements from the Swedish Inspectorate. The material has been analysed using concepts shedding light on the different aspects of how audit affects ‘auditees’. The results suggest that inspections have mainly shaped the administrative part of care; that compliance with regulatory standards bring about stability in the work performed; that the standard-setting sometimes creates tensions between professional judgment and formal authority; and that inspections play an accreditation role for the residential homes. The implications of this are discussed, e.g. that the regulatory standards seem to target aspects of care that are alternatives to those of evidence-based practice, that general standards to some extent challenge the possibilities of organising the care according to the individual needs of the children and that the receptiveness of professionals to inspection ideas entails both possibilities and obstacles for the development of a professional field.
An enhanced target-enrichment bait set for Hexacorallia provides phylogenomic resolution of the staghorn corals (Acroporidae) and close relatives

The phylogenetic utility of targeted enrichment methods has been demonstrated in taxa that often have a history of single gene marker development. These genomic capture methods are now being applied to resolve evolutionary relationships from deep to shallow timescales in clades that were previously deficient in molecular marker development and lacking robust morphological characters that reflect evolutionary relationships. Effectively capturing 1000s of loci, however, in a diverse group across a broad time scale requires a bait set that incorporates multiple baits per locus. We redesigned a custom bait set for the cnidarian class Anthozoa to target 1,436 UCE loci and 1,572 exon regions within the subclass Hexacorallia. We test this redesigned bait set on 99 specimens of hard corals (Scleractinia) spanning both the “complex” (Acroporidae, Agariciidae) and “robust” (Fungiidae) clades. With focused sampling in the staghorn coral genus Acropora we explore the ability of capture data to inform the taxonomy of a clade deficient in molecular resolution. A mean of 1850 (± 298) loci were captured per taxon (955 UCEs, 894 exons). A 75% complete concatenated alignment included 1792 loci (991 UCE, 801 exons) and ∼1.87 million base pairs. Parsimony informative sites varied from 48% for alignments including all three families, to 1.5% among samples within a single Acropora species. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses recover highly resolved topologies and robust molecular relationships not previously found with traditional markers within the Acroporidae. Species level relationships within the Acropora genus do not support traditional morphological groups or morphological phylogenies. Both UCE and exon datasets delineated six well-supported clades within Acropora. The enhanced bait set for Hexacorallia will allow researchers to survey the evolutionary history of important groups of reef building corals where previous molecular marker development has been unsuccessful.
An Ensemble-Based Malware Detection Model Using Minimum Feature Set

Current commercial antivirus detection engines still rely on signature-based methods. However, with the huge increase in the number of new malware, current detection methods become not suitable. In this paper, we introduce a malware detection model based on ensemble learning. The model is trained using the minimum number of signification features that are extracted from the file header. Evaluations show that the ensemble models slightly outperform individual classification models. Experimental evaluations show that our model can predict unseen malware with an accuracy rate of 0.998 and with a false positive rate of 0.002. The paper also includes a comparison between the performance of the proposed model and with different machine learning techniques. We are emphasizing the use of machine learning based approaches to replace conventional signature-based methods.
Pattern of Dermatological Disease and its Relation to Gender in Lumbini Medical College Teaching Hospital

Introduction : The pattern of skin disease differs in different countries, and within various region of a country depending on socio-economic, racial and environmental factors. Many researchers have reported various patterns of skin disease in different countries. This type of study has not been done in this part of country. So, we decided to study, assess and compare the different pattern of dermatological disease in patients visiting our centre. Methods : This was retrospective study done from the hospital record of Lumbini Medical College Teaching Hospital (LMCTH). The study was carried out from September 2014 to December 2014 while the data were accessed from the records of respondents from September 2013 to August 2014. The diagnosis was categorized into 10 groups. The diagnosis which did not fit any category was kept in “Others”. The 10 categories include acne, bacterial infection, dermatophytes, eczema, leprosy, pigmentory diseases, psoriasis, scabies, urticaria and viral infection. Data was collected based on gender and categorized according to the diagnosis. Microsoft Excel was used for data entry while all the analysis both descriptive and inferential statistics was done using SPSS version 21. Results : There were a total of 7967 patients visiting Dermatology OPD. Out of the total patient, there were 52.10% female and 47.89% male and this difference was statistically significant. In both gender eczema was the most common skin disease. Eczema was significantly more common in male whereas acne was significantly common in female. Most of the patients were from age group of 15-30 yrs with eczema being commonest in this age group. Conclusion : Eczema and dermatophytes are the most common dermatological diseases. Eczema is significantly more common in male. Acne is significantly more common in female. DOI: https://doi.org/10.22502/jlmc.v3i1. 63
International Scientific Conference «Social and Cultural Transformations in the Context of Modern Globalism» CULTURE AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION

The article investigates how globalization changes affect modern culture and the formation of national identity. For Russia, the severity of the problem of national identity is determined by its traditional poly-ethnic population. A complex of methodological and theoretical approaches of philosophy, political science, sociology and global studies is used. The starting point for the analysis of values as the basis for the formation and preservation of national identity in the modern globalized space is the existing tradition in the philosophy of understanding culture from an axiological point of view. We consider new trends in the development of culture. In the context of globalization, the values of one culture are mixed with the values of another. An obvious characteristic of “global culture” is openness, which assumes an assimilative form. One of the significant dangers of globalization is value unification. Globalization processes contribute to the deformation of the value bases of society. The current identity crisis is accompanied by a transformation of identification factors. Since national identification is a subjective-objective process and is determined by the individual’s self-search, inner feelings about his ethnic, linguistic, cultural and other affiliation, the influence of many external factors, traditional play a significant role in the formation of national identity. Traditional values allow society to form an adequate to respond to the negative of a of a civilizational model.
STRATIGRAPHY AND DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENTS OF THE SANTA CRUZ FORMATION (EARLY-MIDDLE MIOCENE) ALONG THE RÍO SANTA CRUZ, SOUTHERN PATAGONIA, ARGENTINA

The Santa Cruz Formation is an Early–Middle Miocene terrestrial sedimentary succession widely distributed in southern Patagonia. Particularly, it is exposed along the southern margin of the Rio Santa Cruz valley where the sedimentological and stratigraphical features are described for three localities. From east to west these localities are: Barrancas Blancas, Segundas Barrancas Blancas and Yaten Huageno. The facies analysis permits us to identify three associations, representing deposition in 1) low-energy floodplains; 2) crevasse splays and sheet floods; and 3) fluvial channels. The three localities are chronologically equivalent and represent accumulation in an aggradational low- gradient fluvial system that drained towards the east and northeast from the Patagonian Andes to the Atlantic sea. Abundant pedogenic features and some trace fossils are consistent with a temperate subhumid climate and in part, a grassland environment.
Development of the clinical calculator for mortality of patients with metastatic clear cell type renal cell carcinoma: An analysis of patients from Korean Renal Cancer Study Group database

Purpose To develop the clinical calculator for mortality of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) using Korean Renal Cancer Study Group (KRoCS) database. Materials and Methods Data from 1,115 patients with mRCC treated in 4 hospitals joining KRoCS between 1993 and 2016 were pooled. Five-year survival rates were calculated using Kaplan–Meier curve. A clinical calculator for 5-year mortality was developed using multivariable logistic regression analysis and validated externally using dataset including 916 patients from 4 other hospitals. Results Overall survival rates and cancer specific survival rate at 5 years were 28.5% and 29.4%, respectively. Among baseline factors, increased neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (≥4), synchronous metastasis, low albumin (<3.0 g/dL), and low hemoglobin (<lower limit of normal: male, 13 g/dL; female, 11.5 g/dL) were the significant factors in 5-year mortality. Good internal validity was demonstrated with area under the curve estimates being 0.774 at 5-year mortality calculation and the calibration plot. In the external validation, 758 (82.8%) died by 5 years among these patients, with the average model-predicted rate of 72.9%. Conclusions A clinical calculator has been developed to quantify the risk of death for individual patients after treatment of mRCC. This tool may be useful for patients or their guardians who want to know their prognosis and to identify patients requiring aggressive therapy and additional supportive measures during and after treatment.
Thermal niche traits of high alpine plant species and communities across the tropical Andes and their vulnerability to global warming

The climate variability hypothesis (CVH) predicts that locations with reduced seasonal temperature variation select for species with narrower thermal ranges. Here we (a) test the CVH by assessing the effect of latitude and elevation on the thermal ranges of Andean vascular plant species and communities, and (b) assess tropical alpine plants vulnerability to warming based on their thermal traits.
Ameliorating Effect of Different Anti-Stressors on Growth Performance and Immunophysiological Responses in Heat Stressed Broilers Chickens

Received: Revised: Accepted: Published online: July 23, 2017 September 24, 2018 January 15, 2019 May 01, 2019 This study was conducted to ascertain the effects of betaine, chia seed, potassium chloride, and vitamin C on growth performance, immune response and serum biochemistry of broilers chickens reared during hot (30-37°C) and humid (52-80%) climate. A total of 320 birds were divided into five treatment groups (A-E) with four replicates, having 16 birds in each. Group A served as control. Birds in groups B, C, D and E were respectively fed diets supplemented with betaine (2g/Kg), chia seed (5g/Kg), potassium chloride (2g/Kg) and vitamin C (600mg/Kg). Daily feed intake and weekly body weights were recorded. Blood samples were collected at 7th, 17th, 36th and 42nd day for estimation of Newcastle disease virus titer and at 6th week of age for serum cholesterol and glucose estimation. Results showed highest (P<0.05) feed intake and antibody titer against ND in birds supplemented with chia seed. Betaine supplementation resulted in highest (P<0.05) body weight gain and better FCR. Supplementation of vitamin C in diet resulted in lower (P<0.05) serum cholesterol and glucose levels. These findings showed that use of appropriate feed supplements helped to reduce the deterioration in performance of heat stressed broilers. Among different anti-stressors used in present study betaine, chia seed and vitamin C offered better performance in competing negative effects of heat stress in broiler chickens. ©2019 PVJ.

Loss or Lost? Economic Consequences of Internal Capital Markets in Business Groups

This paper examines when business groups support distressed member firms and how such group support impacts firm survival and productivity. I exploit plausibly exogenous variation in the value of loss-related tax shields that affect the incentives to support distressed member firms. Evidence from a cross-sectional difference-in-differences design based on a large international sample, as well as a single-country regression discontinuity design, suggests that business groups avoid member firms’ defaults if loss-related tax shields are more valuable. This tax-motivated group support keeps low-quality member firms alive, resulting in lower productivity at the firm and the market level. The findings indicate that managers exploit tax-related cash incentives through internal capital markets at the cost of less efficient resource allocation.
Sustainable mobility at the interface of transport and tourism

Abstract The domains of transport and tourism exist and operate together and apart from one another. They have complex, interesting but also largely unsustainable relationships. Despite this, research into sustainable tourism has often focused on that which is stationary, without due consideration of the wide-ranging implications of tourism-mobilities. Conventional conceptualisations of tourism-transport are often limited to the tourist’s travel to, and occasionally around, tourism destinations – neglecting the various ways that actors, objects and policies are all (made) mobile. As an introduction to the special issue on ‘Innovative Approaches to Sustainable Transport, Mobilities and Tourism’, this paper adopts a broad framing of innovation to encourage research in new directions. After thinking through the role of innovation in sustainable tourism-transport, the paper points to some key, inter-related themes in transport and mobilities; dominant mobility systems (auto/aero-mobilities), the sustainable mobility paradigm and mobility justice. Following this, a number of potential research themes are identified which may help to galvanise sustainable tourism-transport scholarship: first, where, why, for whom, and with what implications immobilities occur in tourism-transport; second, tourism-transport beyond anthropocentrism; third, the social embeddedness of technological innovations; and fourth, intersections of work and labour for tourism-transport. These directions – and others besides - may contribute to, and potentially accelerate, transitions towards tourism-transport sustainability.
A Comprehensive 21st Century Child Development through Scientific Process in Early Science

The purpose of this study is to explore and identify the practice of applying science processes in early childhood teaching by preschool teachers with a focus on approach, interaction and environmental management. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. It involves 5 preschool teachers from different preschools. Teacher selection based on excellence and active involvement of preschool teacher. To be more precise, this study is referred to as a multidisciplinary study. Data collection is through interviews and is supported by document observation and analysis. Data were analyzed using Atlas. Ti 7 software to generate themes. The finding of the study concludes that the effectiveness of early science learning depends on children’s mastery of science process skill. Therefore, teacher pedagogical knowledge is very important. This study is able to provide guidance on the application of science processes in early science teaching with a focus on environmental management and can be used by preschool teachers in early science teaching.
REVISITING THE FACTORS INFLUENCING CORPORATE DIVIDEND POLICY DECISIONS: EVIDENCE FROM LISTED BANKS IN GHANA

This study examines the factors influencing dividend policy of listed banks in Ghana relying on data for 7 banks spanning 2006 – 2015. Using the Pooled Ordinary Least Squares, Fixed and Random effects models as estimation techniques, the findings show that, dividend policy of banks is significantly and positively driven by banks’ growth, bank size and leverage. This notwithstanding, banks’ profitability dampens dividend policy while domestic macroeconomic instability proxied by inflation appear to positively influence banks’ dividend albeit insignificantly.
Effects of Adult Health Interventions at Scale on Children's Schooling: Evidence from Antiretroviral Therapy in Zambia

In 2007, approximately one in five children in Zambia lived with an HIV positive adult. We identify the effect of adult antiretroviral therapy (ART) availability at scale on children's educational outcomes by combining data on the expansion of ART availability with two national household surveys that include HIV testing. Through a triple difference specification, we find that the availability of ART increased the likelihood that children in households with HIV positive household heads started school on time and were the appropriate grade-for-age. The mechanisms were likely decreased opportunistic infections in the household and related care giving duties.
