Study of Population Structure and Genetic Prediction of Buffalo from Different Provinces of Iran using Machine Learning Method

: Considering breeding livestock programs to milk production and type traits based on existence two different ecotypes of Iranian’s buffalo, a study carried out to investigate the population structure of Iranian buffalo and validate its classification accuracy according to different ecotypes from Iran (Azerbaijan and North) using data SNP chip 90K by means Support vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF) and Discriminant Analysis Principal Component (DAPC) methods. A total of 258 buffalo were sampled and genotyped. The results of admixture, multidimensional scaling (MDS), and DAPC showed a close relationship between the animals of different provinces. Two ecotypes indicated higher accuracy of 96% that the Area Under Curve (AUC) confirmed the obtained result of the SVM approach while the DAPC and RF approach demonstrated lower accuracy of 88% and 80 %, respectively. SVM method proved high accuracy compared with DAPC and RF methods and assigned animals to their herds with more accuracy. According to these results, buffaloes distributed in two different ecotypes are one breed, and therefore the same breeding program should be used in the future. The water buffalo ecotype of the northern provinces of Iran and Azerbaijan seem to belong to the same population.
[Central venous catheter insertion and maintenance: Evidence-based clinical recommendations].

OBJECTIVE To share with clinicians supporting evidence of the safest and the most effective processes for central venous catheter insertion and maintenance as a strategy to prevent catheter-associated bloodstream infections. METHODS A literature search was conducted in the Medline via PubMed, Embase Central and Lilacs databases based on a set of clinical questions aimed at improving safety and effectiveness at key moments in the process of central venous catheter insertion and maintenance. The rapid literature review methodology was used. The studies identified were assessed from the quality point of view, using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tools for qualitative and quantitative studies and for systematic reviews. Clinical practice guidelines were assessed using the AGREE II tool. The evidence is presented in the form of evidence-based clinical recommendations, which were graded in accordance with the JBI methodology. RESULTS Twelve clinical evidence summaries containing evidence related to the safe and effective use of central venous catheters are presented, including the following topics: central venous catheter insertion (CVC), peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC), preoperative assessment, the use of analgesia, field preparation, choice between CVC or PICC, CVC care and maintenance, prevention of complications, and general considerations pertaining to the use of central venous catheters in oncologic patients and in parenteral nutrition. CONCLUSIONS Recommendations on the safe and effective use of central venous access catheters in relation to CVC insertion and maintenance processes are presented in the evidence-based summary model. It is necessary to evaluate their implementation in health outcomes in the institutions where they are developed.
Lactobacillus farciminis une bactérie produisant du monoxyde d’azote dans le tube digestif : mise en évidence de potentialités thérapeutiques

Les probiotiques sont definis comme des micro-organismes vivants dont l'ingestion exerce un effet benefique sur la sante de l'hote. Certains presentent des proprietes immuno-modulatrices et anti-inflammatoires au niveau intestinal chez l'animal et chez l'homme. Toutefois les mecanismes d'action impliques dans ces effets ne sont pas clairement etablis. Par ailleurs, la litterature attribue generalement un role anti-inflammatoire au monoxyde d'azote (NO) exogene en particulier dans le cadre de l'inflammation des parties hautes du tube digestif chez l'animal. L'hypothese de notre travail etait qu'un apport exogene de NO dans les parties basses du tube digestif pourrait reduire la severite d'une colite induite par l'acide trinitrobenzene sulfonique (TNBS) chez le rat. Aussi dans un premier temps nous avons utilise un donneur chimique du NO, le nitroprussiate de sodium, et mis en evidence son role protecteur vis-a-vis de la colite experimentale. Notre objectif etant d'apporter du NO par une bacterie, nous avons choisi Lactobacillus farciminis et montre tout d'abord sa capacite a produire du NO dans la lumiere colique in vivo. Nous avons ensuite montre que ce lactobacille administre par voie orale reduisait la colite induite par le TNBS et que cet effet anti-inflammatoire etait NO-dependant. De plus, ce traitement de la colite s'est traduit par une diminution de l'expression de l'activite NO synthase inductible, une modulation de la flore endogene, une reduction de la translocation bacterienne, une diminution de la permeabilite paracellulaire colique et une modulation du profil cytokinique de la muqueuse colique. Enfin, nous avons montre qu'un traitement par L. Farciminis reduisait le nombre de contractions abdominales induites par une distension colo-rectale sans modification du tonus musculaire, tant chez l'animal temoin que chez l'animal traite par le TNBS a travers un mecanisme impliquant le NO. L'ensemble de nos travaux montrent que chez le rat le traitement par L. Farciminis diminue la severite d'une colite induite par le TNBS, ainsi que l'hyperalgesie viscerale d'origine inflammatoire associee et mettent en evidence un mecanisme d'action impliquant le NO.
Climate–tectonic interactions in the eastern Arabian Sea

long-term changes in monsoon intensity related to glacial cycles and in to a strengthening of the winter monsoon between 1.85 and 1.65 looked at stable oxygen isotope and assemblage data of foraminifers spanning the last 350 ka. An increasing abundance of the foraminifer Globigerina bulloides is used to infer greater upwelling during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 7 (243 – 191 ka) and the beginning of MIS 6 (191 – 130 Ma)
Tidal dynamics effect on the connectivity patterns of the blackspot seabream (Pagellus bogaraveo) in the Alboran Sea

Several researchers have reported that the blackspot seabream have been subjected to an excessive exploitation over the years (Gil Herrera, 2006). Experts in fishery ecology agree that for optimizing the fisheries as well as curbing the over-exploitation is necessary to study population dynamics and connectivity of the species according to the circulation and oceanographic variability (Cowen and Sponaugle, 2009). The objective of the present work is to analyse the blackspot seabream connectivity with a hydrodynamic numerical model, using early life stage (ELS) blackspot seabream virtual particles as passive tracers advected by dynamical tides.
Logical reasoning by a Grey parrot? A case study of the disjunctive syllogism

In Call’s (2004) 2-cups task, widely used to explore logical and causal reasoning across species and early human development, a reward is hidden in one of two cups, one is shown to be empty, and successful subjects search for the reward in the other cup. Infants as young as 17-months and some individuals of almost all species tested succeed. Success may reflect logical, propositional thought and working through a disjunctive syllogism (A or B; not A, therefore B). It may also reflect appreciation of the modal concepts “necessity” and “possibility”, and the epistemic concept “certainty”. Mody & Carey’s (2016) results on 2-year-old children with 3- and 4-cups versions of this task converge with studies on apes in undermining this rich interpretation of success. In the 3-cups version, one reward is hidden in a single cup, another in one of two other cups, and the participant is given one choice, thereby tracking the ability to distinguish a certain from an uncertain outcome. In the 4-cups procedure, a reward is hidden in one cup of each pair (e.g., A, C); one cup (e.g., B) is then shown to be empty. Successful subjects should conclude that the reward is 100% likely in A, only 50% likely in either C or D, and accordingly choose A, thereby demonstrating modal and logical concepts in addition to epistemic ones. Children 2 1/2 years of age fail the 4-cups task, and apes fail related tasks tapping the same constructs. Here we tested a Grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus), Griffin, on the 3- and 4-cups procedures. Griffin succeeded on both tasks, outperforming even 5-year-old children. Controls ruled out that his success on the 4-cups task was due to a learned associative strategy of choosing the cup next to the demonstrated empty one. These data show that both the 3- and 4-cups tasks do not require representational abilities unique to humans. We discuss the competences on which these tasks are likely to draw, and what it is about parrots, or Griffin in particular, that explains his better performance than either great apes or linguistically competent preschool children on these and conceptually related tasks.
Yeast extract complex as non-antibiotic functional product in weaning pigs

Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of yeast extract complex derived from Kluyveromyces marxianus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a non-antibiotic functional product. In total, 150 crossbred weaning pigs [(Yorkshire × Landrace) × Duroc, 28-d-old] with an average body weight (BW) of 7.27 ± 1.47 kg were randomly allotted to one of three dietary treatments [five pigs per pen (two barrows and three gilts); 10 pens per treatment] for a 6 wk trial in three phases based on BW. Treatments consisted of corn–soybean-meal-based basal diet (CON) and basal diet supplemented with 0.2% or 0.4% yeast extract complex (YEC). The supplementation of 0.4% YEC to basal diet increased (P < 0.05) BW during phases 2 and 3 compared with CON. The average daily gain increased (P < 0.05) during week 1 and overall period, and gain to feed ratio was higher (P < 0.05) during phase 1 in pigs fed 0.4% YEC diets compared with those fed CON diets. In addition, the fecal Lactobacillus counts were increased (P < 0.05) with the supplementation of 0.2% and 0.4% YEC suggesting that 0.4% YEC supplementation could be used as non-antibiotic functional product.

The Development of an Electron Transfer Initiated Cyclization Approach Toward the Total Synthesis of Mycalamide B. The Synthesis of the N7-C25 Fragment of Psymberin

The electron transfer initiated cyclization (ETIC) has been shown to be an efficient method for the generation of cyclic amido acetals. The tetrahydrofuranyloxy methyl ether was shown to be a stable nucleophilic hemiacetal surrogate allowing for the incorporation of a formaldehyde equivalent in the ETIC reaction. The ETIC reaction was employed in the stereoselective synthesis of amido trioxadecalin systems relevant to the synthesis of the mycalamides, onnamides and theopederins. The stereoselectivity resulting from these cyclizations was controlled by the substituents of the tetrahydropyran ring and the conformational bias of the developing trioxadecalin system. The epimerization of the N-acylaminal center of the amido trioxadecalin system was possible under mildly acidic conditions. An efficient and stereoselective synthetic route has been developed that intends to employ the ETIC reaction to selectively generate the N-acylaminal of mycalamide B. A linear approach to the generation of the right half of mycalamide B has been applied allowing for expedient access to the dimethyl tetrahydropyran core. The synthetic sequence employs an asymmetric Leighton allylation, selective boron mediated aldol, 1,3-syn-reduction, and selective epoxidation and syn-vinylation to establish the stereochemistry of the right hand fragment of mycalamide B. The stereoselective synthesis of the N7-C24 fragment of psymberin was developed. The synthesis is highlighted by the de novo generation of the C25-C17 pentasubstituted arene that allows for the expedient generation of multigram quantities of this intermediate. The stereochemistry of this fragment was established by an asymmetric Brown crotylation and Leighton allylation, selective Mukaiyama aldol addition, 1,3-syn-reduction, and a selective Lewis acid catalyzed TMSCN displacement of an acyl lactol.

ATTACHMENT STYLES AS AN IMPORTANT RESILIENCE FACTOR OF SPECIALISTS IN HELPING PROFESSIONS

The article considers the styles of adults’ attachment as a significant factor for resilience development at specialists in helping professions. The main article goal is to analyze the results of the theoretical and empirical study on correlations between styles of helping profession specialists’ early childhood attachment and their resilience. The article presents the theoretical and empirical analysis of the phenomenon of resilience and the attachment theory. The phenomenon itself is analyzed, various approaches and modern points of view on adults’ attachment styles are described, the possibilities of their experimental determination are considered. The article presents the performed experimental study of specialists in helping professions with the analysis of the data on their resilience in general, its correlations with such unreliable types of attachment as avoidance and anxiety; the author’s own experience in psychotherapy. The following conclusions were drawn from the performed theoretical review: 1) many factors can influence resilience formation and maintenance, including the experience of early parent-child relationships; 2) the reliable attachment, formed during infancy, plays an important role in development of a child’s system of effective mental protection, stimulates appearance and improvement of prosocial behaviour that form the basis of resilience at adulthood, and also affects an individual’s psychological tolerance to mental traumas, reduces their psychosomatic and mental symptoms; 3) the emotional connection between two adults is symmetrical, so that, partners are a source of a feeling of comfort and security for each other. The following conclusions were drawn from our experimental study conducted at 2017–2019: 1) specialists in helping professions generally have an average resilience with a tendency to it increasing; 2) there are correlations between the levels of resilience and the styles of attachment: the higher the indicators of unreliable attachment, the lower the indicators of resilience; 3) there is a correlative tendency between the indicators of resilience and the respondents’ age: the older the specialists are, the lower their resilience indicators are and the higher the indicators of the anxiety attachment style; 4) an inverse statistically significant correlations were determined between the level of resilience and the specialists’ personal experience (measures in worked hours): the fewer hours of own experience, the lower resilience.
Effect of natural zeolite on performance, and tibia composition of broiler chicks.

An experiment was carried out to determine the effects of different levels of natural zeolite, and calcium on performance, apparent digestibility of calcium, and tibia ash of 480 Ross male broiler chicks. Eight experimental diets were tested in a factorial arrangement with four levels of zeolite (0, 1, 2, and 3 percent) and two levels of calcium (NRC recommended level, and 70 percent of NRC level) in a completely randomized design with 5 replicates and 12 chicks per replicate. During the experimental period feed consumption, weight gain, feed conversion ratio were measured weekly. Mortality rate were recorded throughout the experiment. At 28 days of age, two chicks per replicate were slaughtered, ileum content were collected, and tibia were separated from the carcass to determine apparent digestibility of calcium, and tibia ash. The results indicated that with adding zeolite to diet, feed consumption were reduced in grower and whole period of experiment (P<0.05), but there wasn't significant difference between control diet (0 percent zeolite), and the diet containing 1 percent of zeolite. Adding zeolite to diets improved feed conversion ratio, but it wasn't significant. Use of zeolite in diets hadn't significant effects on carcass percentage, apparent digestibility of calcium, and tibia ash, but increased abdominal fat percentage (P<0.05). With decreasing calcium levels, feed consumption was increased, and weight gain decreased in grower period (P<0.05), feed conversion ratio reduced significantly in this phase too. Decreasing calcium level in diets reduced carcass percentage, and tibia ash significantly (P<0.05). Interaction of zeolite and calcium on tibia ash was significant (P<0.05).
Endocrine disruption and altered sexual development in aquatic organisms: an invertebrate perspective

Abstract Contaminants causing sex-altering, endocrine disrupting-like (ED) effects, or otherwise influencing reproduction, have been of growing concern to humans for more than 50 years. They have also been a perturbing, though less well-studied, phenomenon in marine organisms, following the recognition of tributyltin (TBT)-induced imposex and population extinctions in (neo)gastropods in the 1970s. Whilst ED impacts in mammals and fish are characterized by mimicry or antagonism of endogenous hormones by environmental contaminants (acting through Nuclear Receptors which are present in all metazoans) much less is known regarding pathways to effects in invertebrates. Despite the absence of a defined steroidal/mechanistic component, the extent, severity and widespread nature of ED-like manifestations and altered sexual characteristics observed in marine invertebrates gives rise to comparable concerns, and have been a long-term component of the MBA's research remit. The manifestations seen in sensitive taxa such as molluscs and crustaceans confirm they are valuable indicators of environmental quality, and should be exploited in this capacity whilst we seek to understand the pervasiveness and underlying mechanisms. In so doing, invertebrate indicators address aims of organizations, such as the EEA, OECD, UNEP and WHO, charged with management and monitoring of chemicals and ensuring that adverse effects on humans and the environment are minimized (Bergman et al., 2013). In view of the recent general declines in marine biodiversity, and the potential contribution of ED-like phenomena, safeguarding against deleterious effects through increased research which links pollutant exposure with reproductive dysfunction among invertebrates, is seen as a high priority.
EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF INFORMAL SECTOR COMPETITORS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF FORMAL ENTERPRISES: EVIDENCE FROM BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

It is widely assumed that informal sector enterprises have a harmful impact on the performance of formal enterprises. This paper aims to provide an evidence-based evaluation of whether this is the case. To do so, it reports World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES) data collected from 360 formal enterprises in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2019. The finding is that formal enterprises viewing informal competition as a severe obstacle do not witness significantly lower sales growth, employment growth or productivity growth. Indeed, such enterprises witness significantly higher sales growth than those who do not view informal sector competitors as a severe obstacle. The theoretical and policy implications are discussed.
Fault Diagnosis Method of Analog Circuit Based on Radial Base Function Neural Network

Neural network is competent for fault diagnosis and pattern classification such as poorly defined model system, noisy input environment and nonlinearity in analog circuit. One of the most known type of neural network used to identify and classify the method of faulty diagnosis of analog circuit is presented based on the radial basis function (RBF) neural network. The proposed method introduces the fault features and classify the fault classes of the given two circuits. The experiment and simulations of the fault diagnosis for the two circuits (Sallen-Key and four OP-AMP band-pass filter) establish the diagnosing process of our method that proposed in this paper, locating faults effectively and be successful in classifying the fault values. Its performance analysis show that the fault diagnosability learned by RBF method accomplishes a better satisfactory diagnostic accurateness for the fault diagnosis of analog circuit.
Lane Line Edge Detection Based on Improved Adaptive Canny Algorithm

With the development of autonomous driving technology, effective access to information on lane lines is of great significance for the decision-making of unmanned vehicles. The Canny operator is widely used in identifying the edge of the lane line, but the adaptive ability and anti-interference ability of the traditional Canny operator are flawed. In this paper, the lane line edge detection algorithm of the adaptive Canny algorithm is improved, and the adaptive median filtering and morphological closing operation are used to prevent the edge information from weakening while using multiple directions to calculate gradient magnitude. Finally, iterative method is used to improve the OSTU adaptive algorithm to determine its high and low thresholds. The test results show that the improved algorithm can effectively improve the accuracy, speed and anti-interference ability of the detection.
