Resilient capacity of cattle to environmental challenges – An updated review

Livestock rearing plays an integral role in enabling small and marginal farmers to ensure their livelihood security, which prevents both the food insecurity and poverty. Among the livestock, large ruminants and in particular cattle plays a significant role from economic perspectives. This review is an attempt to compile information pertaining to thermo-tolerance of cattle to heat stress challenges. Heat stress has serious consequences, which negatively influence cattle production causing severe economic burden to the cattle farmers. The ability of the cattle to perform normal biological functions in various adverse environmental conditions denotes its resilient capacity. The resilience capacity is determined by various traits which govern maintaining their body conformation, respiratory and cutaneous evaporative cooling mechanisms, hair coat, maintenance of metabolic rate, feed efficiency, tolerance to dehydration, production maintenance and reproductive efficiency. Breed differences were established for climate resilience and the superiority of indigenous breeds over exotic animals were established in this aspect. The resilience capacity of indigenous cattle based on changes associated with both phenotypic and genotypic traits were reviewed and several biological markers, which reflect the ability of cattle to survive in different climatic conditions, were highlighted. The significance of refining the existing breed program for imparting climate resilience was projected to identify breeds, which have the ability to survive in different agro-ecological zones.
The Effectiveness of Environmental Interpretation in Influencing Visitors’ Knowledge in Kinabalu Park

Protected areas are established for the conservation of unique and pristine environment. Although protected, they are subjected to possible environmental and social impacts due to increasing tourism activities. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Kinabalu Park's environmental interpretation in mitigating these impacts through the assessment of visitors’ knowledge. Visitors' knowledge was compared between those who were exposed (post-visit) and not exposed to the interpretive programs (pre-visit). Overall, environmental interpretation in Kinabalu Park contributed to the visitors' knowledge related to general facts as post-visit samples indicated higher level of knowledge. However, there were no differences in their knowledge related to scientific aspect. Keywords: environmental interpretation; knowledge; protected areas; repeat visitors eISSN 2514-751X © 2019.

Introdução O constante avanço tecnológico nas ultimas décadas proporcionou diversas oportunidades para a utilização da tecnologia junto à educação. Atualmente grande parte dos estudantes dispõem no mı́nimo de algum aparelho tecnológico e cabe aos educadores encontrar e elaborar metodologias para a utilização desses aparelhos, que estão cada vez mais presente no cotidiano dos estudantes, como celulares, tablets ou computadores. Tais tecnologias quando aplicadas no contexto educacional, se tornam motivadoras e fazem com que os estudantes se envolvam mais no processo de aprendizagem. [Herpich et al. 2017]. A Realidade Aumentada (RA) permite aos estudantes elaborarem uma nova concepção de mundo, em que se projeta os objetos bidimensionais (2D) e tridimensionais (3D) no mundo real, ela se trata de uma inclusão de sobreposições gráficas na realidade. [Azuma 1997] Ocasionalmente, a RA torna-se uma complementação da realidade, dando a impressão da coexistência dos objetos reais com os virtuais que ficam fixados no espaço em determinadas localizações.

Cost variation among antiretroviral drugs: pharamcoeconomical prospective

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a disorder caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Main characteristic feature of AIDS is severe immunosuppression that leads to opportunistic infections, neurologic complications and secondary neoplasms. According to WHO 2016 report, currently there are 36.7 million people affected by AIDS worldwide. India has the third highest number of estimated people living with HIV in the world. According to the HIV estimations 2016, the estimated number of people living with HIV/AIDS in India was 2.1 million, with an estimated adult (15-49 age group) HIV prevalence of 0.3% in 2016.
La littératie en santé : un concept critique pour la santé publique

Le concept de littératie en santé est devenu un sujet de grande importance pour la santé pu‐ blique. Depuis son introduction dans les années 1970, la littérature scienti‐ fique qui y est consacrée est en crois‐ sance exponentielle. À ce jour, plus de 5 700 publications sont répertoriées dans la base internationale PubMed et plus de 5 300 dans Scopus, une autre base de référence. 75 % des publica‐ tions ont été effectuées au cours des cinq dernières années. À l’origine, l’intérêt pour la litté‐ ratie en santé était principalement focalisé sur les seuls services en santé et avait donc une portée limitée ; cela concernait seulement la capacité à comprendre des mots difficiles et à maîtriser le calcul arithmétique dans un contexte médical. Mais au fil des années, le concept s’est progressive‐ ment élargi, incluant également des capacités plus complexes et intercon‐ nectées, comme celle de comprendre des informations sur la santé, de communiquer ses besoins aux pro‐ fessionnels de santé et de saisir des instructions de santé [1, 2].

Tratamientos biológicos (no farmacológicos) en Psiquiatría

Los psicofarmacos y la psicoterapia son efectivos para muchos pacientes aquejados de trastornos mentales o problematicas psicosociales. No obstante, algunos pacientes no responden a estas intervenciones, por lo que se necesitan de otras propuestas basadas en tratamientos biologicos (no farmacologicos). Estas tecnicas se han ido desarrollando gracias a una mejor comprension de los modelos neurofisiologicos y neuroanatomicos del humor, pensamiento y regulacion del comportamiento, asi como de estrategias mas avanzadas para la modificacion de la actividad neural. Con base en lo anterior, el objetivo de este articulo es presentar una actualizacion sobre los conceptos e indicaciones de la terapia electroconvulsiva, de las tecnicas de estimulacion cerebral, de la fototerapia y de la privacion terapeutica del sueno.
Prakash versus figure of eight technique in sternal closure in CABG patients

Background: Median sternotomy was recommended in 1957 by Julian for complete exposure of the heart. Despite the high importance of correct sternotomy, proper sternal closure is vital to ensure fewer post-operative complications. The sternum can be closed by wires and other methods. Sternal closure using the most suitable technique can dramatically reduce the risk of development of such complications.Methods: It is a prospective randomized comparative study of two patient groups, each included 30 patients, diagnosed of ischemic heart disease and underwent CABG. Group A with the patients’ sterna closed by figure of eight method and group B with multi-twist (Prakash) technique. Both groups were compared regarding postoperative pain and complications as superficial and deep sternal wound infections (SSWI, DSWI), wire removal and rewiring within six months of follow up.Results: The mean of minimum post sternotomy pain in group A patients was 24.50±11.7, whereas in patients of group B, it was 27±10.1. Only two patients (group A) suffered sternal dehiscence within six months follow up. The incidence of SSWI and DSWI among both groups was almost similar with only two patient of group A needed wire removal and one of them required rewiring.Conclusions: The multi-twist sternal closure provides better sternal stability after CABG especially in patients who are vulnerable to sternal dehiscence.

Honey as Versatile Remedy: A Focus on Selected Honeys

Introduction: Honey is one of the oldest traditional medicines. It has been well known that honey contains various components that could be use as treatment option. Most commonly studied honeys include gelam, kelulut, acacia, tualang and pineapple honeys. This review listed the five most commonly studied honeys, its properties and the study model involved. Results: Honey has been reported to have multiple properties. Honeys were used to study their antimicrobial properties which includes antibacterial and antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-ulcer and wound healing, anticancer properties. Interestingly, tualang honey was used to study cognitive function and also used to study its ability to function as an adjuvant. Gelam honey and tualang honey both have been studied to determine their effects on fertility. From these five honeys reviewed, the most studied honey is tualang honey that showed significant impact not only on general health being and wound healoing, but also on cancer, inflammation, infection, oxidative stress, cognitive function as well as potential adjuvant. The studies were carried out on different study model from cell lines (in vitro) animal such as Sprague-dawley rats and Wistar albino rats and also human. Conclusion: Honey is a natural compound with significant impact on health and general well-being. These effects might be due to its phenolics and flavonoid content as well as its involvement as signalling molecule that initiates the possible mechanism that needs to be further clarified in the future in treating and preventing diseases.

Preprocesamiento de bases de datos de imágenes para mejorar el rendimiento de redes neuronales convolucionales

Recently, convolutional neural networks have been risen to popularity in tasks such as big data preprocessing and computer vision. Many works have shown that they are a promesing tool in several applications such as digital image classification. Theoretically, a convolutional neural network performance can be increased as the number of layers in its architecture increases, however, more layers can also increase its computational cost. Besides, the network topology, the size and making of the training and testing sets also have a big impact in the network performance. In this work we proposed a strategy to improve the performance of a convolutional neural network based on the appropiate division of the training and testing sets.
Real-Time-Data Analytics in Raw Materials Handling

This paper proposes a system for the ingestion and analysis of real-time sensor and actor data of bulk materials handling plants and machinery. It references issues that concern mining sensor data in cyber physical systems (CPS). The advance of cyber physical systems has created a significant change in the architecture of sensor and actor data. It affects the complexity of the observed systems in general, the number of signals being processed, the spatial distribution of the signal sources on a machine or plant and the global availability of the data. There are different definitions for what constitutes cyber physical systems: the most succinct and pertinent to the work shown in this paper is the definition given by the IEEE: A CPS is a system with a coupling of the cyber aspects of computing and communications with the physical aspects of dynamics and engineering that must abide by the laws of physics. This includes sensor networks, real-time and hybrid systems. Results computed from sensor and actor data must obey the equations used for modelling the physics of the observed system - this fundamentally poses an inverse problem. Such problems are not covered sufficiently by literature addressing mining of sensor data. Even available standard books on mining sensor data do not discuss the special nature of sensor data. Typically, present approaches of mining data rely on correlation as being a sole, reliable measure for significance. It is not taken into account that the inverse solutions to the model-describing equations are required to establish a semantic link between a sensor observation and its precedent cause. Without this link - without causality - there can be no physics based knowledge discovery.
Relacje orientalistyczne o Japonii a gra w antyinformację – studium przypadku

Relacje orientalistyczne (zwane relacjami niedbałymi) dotyczące Japonii i różnych przejawów kultury japońskiej zdają się stanowić nieunikniony składnik komunikacji społecznej w dobie powszechności i cykliczności przekazu masowego. Warto zatem pochylić się nad ich wartością informacyjną, w szczególności ze względu na możliwość stosunkowo łatwej weryfikacji faktów źródłowych, jaką społeczeństwo medialne współcześnie również zapewnia. W niniejszym artykule jako przykłady swoistej gry w antyinformację zostały przedstawione narracje orientalistyczne dostępne czytelnikowi polskiemu, autorstwa Joanny Bator i Beaty Pawlikowskiej. Pomimo bowiem wyraźnej niedbałości faktograficznej – widocznej w analizowanych tekstach już na pierwszy rzut oka – zdają się na ich przykładzie rysować pewne interesujące trendy w oglądzie świata poprzez beztroską i nieskrępowaną właściwie (acz nie zawsze: bezproduktywną) ludyczną aktywność formulacyjną, jakiej teksty te stanowią autentyczny i bezrefleksyjny przejaw.
Gesellschaftliche Teilhabe Älterer in der Nacherwerbsphase

Der Begriff der „gesellschaftlichen Teilhabe“ oder auch der „gesellschaftlichen Partizipation“ ist in den Sozialwissenschaften nicht einheitlich definiert. Häufig wird aber zwischen „sozialer“ und „politischer“ Partizipation unterschieden (z.B. Gabriel & Völkl, 2008). Hierbei bezeichnet Roßteutscher (2009: 163) soziale Partizipation als einen „Sammelbegriff für eine Beteiligungsform, die in der Regel öffentliches, kollektives Handeln ohne direkte politische Motivation beschreibt, aber immer über die private Sphäre hinausreicht. “ Ausgeschlossen wird hier also einerseits die Einbettung in familiäre und nicht-familiäre persönliche Netzwerke (vgl. hierzu die Beiträge von Klaus & Mahne sowie Ellwardt & Hank in diesem Band) sowie die politische Partizipation andererseits. Unter dieser verstehen Gabriel & Völkl (2008: 270) „diejenigen Aktivitäten, die Menschen freiwillig und nicht in einer beruflichen Funktion mit dem Ziel ausführen, Einfluss auf Personalund Sachentscheidungen zu nehmen oder selbst am Fällen oder an der Ausführung dieser Entscheidungen mitzuwirken“ (siehe auch Verba et al., 1995: 38). Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird der Begriff gesellschaftliche Teilhabe so verstanden, dass er soziale und politische Partizipationsformen im o.g. Sinne subsumiert.1
Um ensaio sobre a experiência educacional na programação de computadores: a abordagem tradicional versus a aprendizagem baseada em projetos

Para inovar na educação em programação de computadores, há relatos de mudanças em dois aspectos educacionais. Primeiro, uma maior utilização de métodos construtivistas de ensino, tais como a aprendizagem baseada em projetos (PjBL). Segundo, a introdução de avaliações auxiliares, tais como a motivação dos alunos. No entanto, há também relatos de desafios para a avaliação destes dois aspectos. Assim, dado o continum educacional de programação de computadores, o que avaliar, e como avaliar, no ensino PjBL, com relação à experiência educacional tradicional? Embasado em uma revisão d eliteratura, este ensaio porpões um padrão para estas avaliações, a partir da visão do ensino e da aprendizagem. Primeiro, com relação ao ensino, avaliar métodos e recursos educacionais. Segundo, com relação à aprendizagem, utilizar avaliações auxiliares, tais como a motivação para aprender ou a lacuna cognitiva. Por fim é discutida a possibilidade de que este padrão venha a ser estendido ao ensino computacional e a pesquisas futuras.
Équations cinétiques: une histoire française

Dans cet article on se propose de décrire l’évolution de l’étude des équations cinétiques dans le monde mathématique autour de la France entre les années 1970 et 2000. Bien sûr, dans ce très large sujet nous nous focalisons sur certains aspects. Un accent particulier est mis sur le rôle des lemmes de moyenne comme outil clef dans la théorie cinétique classique. Dans ce contexte, nous présentons aussi les transformées de Wigner de la théorie cinétique quantique et leur lien avec la physique classique dans la limite "semi-classique" ~! 0. L’analyse asymptotique est au centre de cet exposé. C’est pourquoi nous étudions le passage des équations cinétiques ("mésoscopiques"), comme l’équation de Boltzmann, aux équations des fluides ("macroscopiques"), comme les équations d’Euler ou de Navier-Stokes, quand certains paramètres (nombres de Strouhal et Knudsen) tendent vers zéro. Il nous a paru essentiel pour mettre les choses en perspective de revenir un peu en arrière en évoquant certains précurseurs. En revanche, après les années 2000 le sujet a "explosé" et son évocation conduirait encore à plusieurs articles. Pour situer les équations cinétiques dans une perspective plus large, il convient de remarquer qu’il a fallu plusieurs milliers d’années à l’espèce humaine pour inventer, avec Leibniz en 1684 et Newton en 1713, les équations di↵érentielles, bien adaptées à la description demouvements ponctuels tandis qu’ensuite pas plus de 30 ans ont su pour passer aux équations aux dérivées partielles décrivant les milieux continus, par exemple avec d’Alembert en 1747 et Euler en 1775. Dans ce contexte, pour les milieux raréfiés, la notion de densité de particules ayant en un point x une vitesse v est due à Maxwell en 1866, qui propose aussi la distribution de vitesses portant son nom. Tandis que des équations "cinétiques", dédiées à l’évolution de cette densité, apparaissent peu après, avec Boltzmann en 1872 et Lorentz en 1905. Si l’importance des idées de Boltzmann n’a pas été immédiatement reconnue, dès le début du xxe siècle siècle elles ont très rapidement eu un rôle essentiel souligné, pour les mathématiciens, par Hilbert dans l’énoncé de son 6ieme problème posé au Congrès International des Mathématiciens (ICM) de 1900 à Paris et par plusieurs contributions d’Einstein.
