Performance, Carcass Characteristics, Cardio-Pulmonary Morphometry, Gut-Morphology, Fatty Acid Profile and Humoral Immunity of Commercial Broiler Birds Fed Diet Supplemented with Blended Fish Protein

A 35-day trial was conducted to explore if different sources of dietary proteins at varying levels of metabolizable energy had any effect on the average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily gain (ADG), feed efficiency (FE), carcass characteristics, cardio-pulmonary morphometry, gut morphology, profile of unsaturated fatty acid (UFA), saturated fatty acid (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and humoral immunity of the broiler birds. Total 288 Ross-308 day old male broiler birds were randomly distributed in four dietary treatment groups in a 2×2 factorial arrangement (Two different sources of proteins, i.e., plant and animal with two different levels of metabolizable energy, i.e., low and high). Each treatment had nine replicates containing eight birds per pen. Results indicated that, the supplementation of blended fish protein substantially increased (p<0.001) the final body weight and decreased (p<0.001) the ADFI at 1-14 d, 15-35 d and 1-35 d compared with plant protein. The ADG increased at 1-14 d (p<0.001), 15-35 d (p<0.05) and 1-35 d (p<0.05) and the FE improved (p<0.001) at 1-14 d, 15-35 d and 1-35 d. Similarly, the high energy diet significantly increased (p<0.001) the final body weight and decreased the ADFI at 1-14 d (p<0.001), 15-35 d (p<0.05) and 1-35 d (p<0.05) compared with low energy diet. The ADG increased (p<0.001) and the FE improved at 1-14 d, 15-35 d and 1-35 d. The animal protein increased the thigh weight (p<0.01), the neck weight (p<0.05) and the ratio (p<0.001) of ∑UFA:∑SFA and ∑PUFA:∑MUFA in the breast muscles of the broiler birds. The GLM identified no interaction effect (p>0.05) of energy and protein on the ADFI, ADG, FE, cardio-pulmonary morphometry and humoral immunity of the broiler birds against Newcastle and Infectious Bronchitis diseases. The RV:TV remained within standard range indicating no symptoms of cardiac dysfunctions. It was concluded that the fishmeal supplemented high energy diet improved weight gain, feed efficiency and meat quality of broiler by increasing ∑ω-3 and ∑ω-7 fatty acids as well as the ratio of ∑ω-3:∑ω-6, ∑UFA:∑SFA and ∑PUFA:∑MUFA in the breast muscles of the broiler birds.
COVRATIO Statistic as a Discrimination Method for Multivariate Normal Distribution

The COVRATIO statistic has been used to identify the presence of outlier in data, which is based on deletion approach, where the determinant of covariance matrix for the full dataset excludes i-th row. This study proposes a novel discrimination method for the multivariate normal (MVN) distribution using the idea of COVRATIO statistic, denoted as . The linear discrimination function (LDF) for MVN distribution will be compared to the statistic. Simulation results showed that the as discrimination method performs better than the LDF with lower misclassification probabilities in all cases considered. The interest in the discrimination method arose in connection with the study of an application to discriminate the shape of the human maxillary dental arches, thus statistic may be considered as an alternative.
Designing policy mixes for emerging wicked problems. The case of pharmaceutical residues in freshwaters

ABSTRACT Wicked problems continuously emerge in the field of environmental governance. Characterized by goal conflicts, complexity, and uncertainty, wicked problems typically call for participatory policy designs. However, the effects of participation are widely unclear, given the indefinite nature of solutions to wicked problems. This research sheds light on this debate by developing and applying a systematic structural approach to assess policy mixes for emerging wicked problems. Based on a review of literature in the field of public policy and environmental governance, we identify eight assessment criteria matching three dimensions of wicked problems: coherence, consistency, congruence to address conflicts; comprehensiveness and diversity to address complexity; and adaptability, reversibility, and robustness to address informational uncertainty. The concept is demonstrated taking as an example two recently proposed policy mixes to address pharmaceutical freshwater pollution in Germany. This concept demonstration suggests that policy mixes resulting from desk research and participatory processes differ in the way they address wicked problems. These results contribute to systematically assess the role of participation in designing policy mixes for emerging wicked policy problems and open up for more advanced discussions on the role of structural approaches in public policy analyses.
Could cutting costs mean changing minds? Effects of local television news work routines on viewer attention, information-processing, and perceptions of story importance

Market-driven changes to local television news content can come with consequences to viewers in terms of understanding, remembering and subsequently deliberating about news information. This study focuses on the effects of television news packages on viewers with the understanding that ‘high-effort’ storytelling is not supported uniformly across stations. Using an experiment, this study compares the effects of high- and low-effort storytelling on viewers’ memories for story facts, reported emotional states and perceptions of the importance of stories to determine whether cost-cutting measures will have important consequences for the half of US adults who report relying regularly on local television news for their civic information and for the multi-platform audiences whose preferred content originates from traditional television news work routines.

EKKLESIOLOGI GEREJA DALAM RELASI KESETARAAN DAN KEADILAN GENDER

Gender injustice is a challenge in Indonesian society in general and sadly this condition is still happening in the church which should teach and proclaim love, equality and justice for women and men as the image and of God. In this regard, the author will outline the roles and challenges of women in church ministry, the elements that affect the inequalities and injustices experienced by women in church ministry. Furthermore, the author also explores the thoughts and experiences of John Wesley as a "Methodist Father" regarding the role of women in church ministry. The exploration of John Wesley's traditions and thoughts is also one of the elements that need to be considered in recommending church ecclesiology that embodies gender equality and justice relations.
Ultra-Fast Laser Fabrication of Alumina Micro-Sample Array and High-Throughput Characterization of Microstructure and Hardness

In the light of recent advances in material informatics, there is a great demand for high-throughput approaches of sample fabrication and property characterization. Currently, no high-throughput approach has been demonstrated for the fast sampling of the microstructure and the correlated properties. In this paper, we demonstrate the ultra-fast fabrication of an alumina sample array and the high-throughput hardness characterization of these sample units. The alumina sample array was fabricated using picosecond (PS) laser micromachining and CO2 laser sintering within a short time (i.e., less than a few minutes). After laser sintering, the hardness of these sample units was characterized using micro-indentation, and the microstructure was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In each sample unit, the microstructure was uniform for the entire top surface and within about 20 µm depth from the top surface. The relative density (RD) and corresponding micro-hardness of the sample units was found to continuously vary over a wide range from 89% RD with 600 kgf/mm2 hardness to 99% RD with 1609 kgf/mm2 hardness. For these laser-sintered samples, the correlation of hardness and relative density of the alumina matched well with the literature reports on sintered alumina obtained using conventional low-throughput furnace sintering experiments.
Suicide Risk Factors: A Language Analysis Approach in Social Media

Suicide represents a public health issue that requires new preventive strategies. Therefore, this study analyzes differences in language use between a themed posts group (suicide and depression) and a random posts group (non-specific topics) from different social media platforms. In addition, the similarity of the texts of themed posts group with the set of phrases linked to suicide risk factors is analyzed. Texts were processed using the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) software. A 95% bootstrap confidence interval (CI) was built for the difference in means for the resulting values per word category across groups. Significant differences in the use of language were observed between the themed post group and the random post group, whereas no differences were found between the themed post group and the set of phrases linked to suicide risk factors. These results can contribute to the development of risk-detection tools, which identify users at risk based on the analysis of language use embedded in social media. Such opportune detection would significantly increase the suicide prevention work. However, there is still a latent need for doing more research in this field, especially for the Mexican culture.
Lithosphere Structure and Seismic Anisotropy Offshore Eastern North America: Implications for Continental Breakup and Ultra‐Slow Spreading Dynamics

The breakup of supercontinent Pangea occurred ∼200 Ma forming the Eastern North American Margin (ENAM). Yet, the precise timing and mechanics of breakup and onset of seafloor spreading remain poorly constrained. We investigate the relict lithosphere offshore eastern North America using ambient‐noise Rayleigh‐wave phase velocity (12–32 s) and azimuthal anisotropy (17–32 s) at the ENAM Community Seismic Experiment (CSE). Incorporating previous constraints on crustal structure, we construct a shear velocity model for the crust and upper ∼60 km of the mantle beneath the ENAM‐CSE. A low‐velocity lid (VS of 4.4–4.55 km/s) is revealed in the upper 15–20 km of the mantle that extends ∼200 km from the margin, terminating at the Blake Spur Magnetic Anomaly (BSMA). East of the BSMA, velocities are fast (>4.6 km/s) and characteristic of typical oceanic mantle lithosphere. We interpret the low‐velocity lid as stretched continental mantle lithosphere embedded with up to ∼15% retained gabbro. This implies that the BSMA marks successful breakup and onset of seafloor spreading ∼170 Ma, consistent with ENAM‐CSE active‐source studies that argue for breakup ∼25 Myr later than previously thought. We observe margin‐parallel Rayleigh‐wave azimuthal anisotropy (2%–4% peak‐to‐peak) in the lithosphere that approximately correlates with absolute plate motion (APM) at the time of spreading. We hypothesize that lithosphere formed during ultra‐slow seafloor spreading records APM‐modified olivine fabric rather than spreading‐parallel fabric typical of higher spreading rates. This work highlights the importance of present‐day passive margins for improving understanding of the fundamental rift‐to‐drift transition.
Scarabiasis revisited: a case study from Sri Lanka.

Scarabiasis is an ectoparasitic infestation of the gastrointestinal tract by coprophagous beetles. Herein we report scarabiasis from a 3-year-old girl from Sri Lanka, 32 years after the last report in this country. She was treated with metronidazole, lactulose syrup and advised to take hygienic precautions. No further episodes of passing beetles were observed.
Numerical Analysis on the Performance of a Radiant Cooling Panel with Serpentine-Based Design

Radiant cooling systems (RCS) are gaining acceptance as a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solution for achieving adequate thermal comfort and maintaining acceptable indoor air quality inside buildings. RCS are well known for their energy-saving potential; however, serious condensation problem hinders the growth of this technology. In order to prevent the risk of condensation, the supply water temperature is kept higher than the dew point temperature of the air inside the room. The full potential of the cooling power of a radiant cooling panel is limited. Therefore, this article is on maximizing the cooling capacity of a radiant cooling panel, in terms of flow configuration. Radiant cooling panels (RCP) with different chilled water pipe configurations are designed and compared, side by side with the conventional serpentine flow configuration. The cooling performance of the radiant cooling panels is evaluated by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with Ansys Fluent software (Ansys 2020 R2, PA, USA). Under similar flow and operating conditions, the common serpentine flow configuration exhibits the least effective cooling performance, with the highest pressure drop across the pipe. It is concluded that the proposed designs have the potential of improving the overall efficiency of RCP in terms of temperature distribution, cooling capacity, and pressure drop.
Design of Novel Photocatalytic Films for the Protection of Architectural Surfaces via the Incorporation of Green Photocatalysts

In conservation science the demand of multifunctional green materials displaying water repellency, consolidation, resistance to organic pollutants and pigments is constantly increasing. This research developed a green nanocomposite exhibiting photocatalytic, hydrophobic, consolidation and self-cleaning properties. This was achieved by synthesizing a TiO2 photocatalyst enriched with carbon dots (C-dots) and successfully incorporated into a tetraethoxysilane nanocomposite modified with nano-calcium oxalate and polydimethylsiloxane. The TiO2/C-dots that were prepared with a simple, low temperature, cost-effective and large-scale procedure were assessed via analytical and spectroscopic techniques and were resulted in anatase structure ranging in size from 10 to 40 nm. Photooxidation measurements displayed that TiO2/C-dots nanoparticles could photodegrade completely Methyl Orange (MO) under UV and visible irradiation after 120 min. The photocatalytic performance of the nanocomposite with TiO2/C-dots resulted promising under UV after longer irradiation time. The degradation of MO was faster on bulk xerogels containing the TiO2/C-dots than the corresponding ones with TiO2. The treatment of concrete, limestone and lime mortars with the nanocomposite proved to be compatible with the substrates in terms of aesthetical aspects. This study demonstrates encouraging potential for large-scale production of a multifunctional protective composite that offers hydrophobicity, self-cleaning properties and consolidation to architectural surfaces.
The mediating effects of adolescents’ internalizing and externalizing problems on the relationship between emotion regulation, mindfulness and bullying/victimization at school

The aim of this study was two-fold: to investigate the relationship between emotion regulation, dispositional mindfulness and bullying/victimization experiences at school, and to examine the mediating effects of internalizing and externalizing problems on this relationship. Self-reports measuring the above variables were completed by 444 adolescents (mean age 15.3) who attended high school in Cyprus. Data were collected at three points in time. Specifically, data were collected during the second week of October, 2018 (T1), the third week of January, 2019 (T2) and the first week of June, 2019 (T3). It was found that mindfulness at T1 had a significant negative effect on both internalizing and externalizing symptoms and through these variables, it had an indirect negative effect on both bullying and victimization at T3. Similarly, adaptive emotion regulation at T1 had an indirect effect on victimization, fully mediated by internalizing problems. In contrast, maladaptive emotion regulation had a positive, direct effect on both bullying and victimization.
Computational investigations of battery thermal management system with environmental effects employing a combination of phase change materials and forced air cooling

ABSTRACT The thermal management system of battery pack was investigated based on the combination of two different phase change materials OM35 and Paraffin wax coupled with forced air cooling to maintain the thermal distribution in the battery pack at a discharge rate of 1C. Numerical investigations were carried out by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to understand the effects of battery thermal characteristics on environmental conditions in different cities of India. Furthermore, the thermal behavior of the system in an active and passive cooling was analyzed. The result indicates that active cooling can reduce the temperature rise in the battery pack by 2.8°C in the discharge cycle. The above studies identified active cooling not always required when the vehicle speed increases above 40 km/h. Environmental conditions during summer have a significant impact on the temperature rise in the battery pack.
Founders’ Prior Shared International Experience, Time to First Foreign Market Entry, and New Venture Performance

We examine the influence of founders’ prior shared international experience on the timing of their new ventures’ first entry into foreign markets. We propose that this experience, which is gained by founders working concurrently for the same international firm prior to the founding of the current company, provides them with shared knowledge and routines that they can use to enter foreign markets for the first time earlier in the venture’s life. Further, we propose that founders’ diversity strengthens this relationship, because diverse groups of founders have a broader range of knowledge, skills, and perspectives, which facilitates the adaptation of their prior shared international experience to their new venture setting. This is likely to further reduce the time it takes them to enter foreign markets for the first time. We also argue that industry dynamism weakens the relationship between founders’ prior shared international experience and the time to first foreign market entry, because this type of experience is likely to become obsolete in a rapidly changing environment. Finally, we hypothesize that early internationalizers enjoy higher performance than late internationalizers. We test these predictions using a sample of Swedish new ventures. Our results contribute to the literatures on founders’ shared experience and early internationalization.
Quantifying the impact of future extreme heat on the outdoor work sector in the United States

Outdoor workers perform critical societal functions, often despite higher-than-average on-the-job risks and below-average pay. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency of days when it is too hot to safely work outdoors, compounding risks to workers and placing new stressors on the personal, local, state, and federal economies that depend on them. After quantifying the number of outdoor workers in the contiguous United States and their median earnings, we couple heat-based work reduction recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with an analysis of hourly weather station data to develop novel algorithms for calculating the annual number of unsafe workdays due to extreme heat. We apply these algorithms to projections of the frequency of extreme heat days to quantify the exposure of the outdoor workforce to extreme heat and the associated earnings at risk under different emissions scenarios and, for the first time, different adaptation measures. With a trajectory of modest greenhouse gas emissions reductions, outdoor worker exposure to extreme heat would triple that of the late 20th-century baseline by mid-century, and earnings at risk would reach an estimated $39.3 billion annually. By the late century with that same trajectory, exposure would increase four-fold compared to the baseline with an estimated $49.2 billion in annual earnings at risk. Losses are considerably higher with a limited-mitigation trajectory. While universal adoption of 2 specific adaptation measures in conjunction could reduce mid-century and late-century economic risks by roughly 90% and 93%, respectively, practical limitations to their adoption suggest that emissions mitigation policies will be critical for ensuring the well-being and livelihoods of outdoor workers in a warming climate.
The Financial Determinants of Investment Level Based on the Direction of Production of Agricultural Enterprises in the European Union

Purpose: The article aims to analyze relations between the direction of production of agricultural enterprises in the European Union and the level of investment in the years 2005-2018. As the research hypothesis assumed, the directions of agricultural enterprises' production in the European Union influence their level of investment. The additional aim is to draw attention to the most critical issues reflecting the significance of finances in investment decisions of agricultural enterprises. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study covers all the European Union member countries. The one-factor analysis of variance ANOVA was used to achieve the research objective. Findings: The studies prove that agricultural enterprises' directions in the European Union substantially diversify their values of the investment level. The most significant differences in the investment level were observed between the agricultural enterprises specializing in granivores and milk and the plant production agricultural enterprises. Practical Implications: The investment activities of agricultural enterprises result from their market activity and modernization of their assets. Decisions made by enterprises depend on their financial resources and have a significant impact on their development opportunities. The growth of owned fixed assets or the improvement of their quality may substantially contribute to the increase of the production potential of agricultural enterprises involved in plant production and animal production. Originality/Value: The existing literature does not present a detailed differentiation of the level of investment in individual types of farms, in line with the FADN methodology.
