Extended Space as Disgrace: A Phenomenological Study of Rahat Khwaja’s Queerness in the Pakistani Movie Zindagi Tamasha
Authors: Farheen Shakir
Published: July 2024

This phenomenological study reveals the societal backlash faced by Rahat Khwaja in the movie Zindagi Tamasha, highlighting broader implications for the acceptance of queer identities within Pakistan's socio-religious landscape. I, hereby, contend that Pakistan’s gender-based patriarchal society disregards and questions queerness, especially in religious personalities. Rationalising this study using Sara Ahmed’s queer phenomenological model of affect as contact with Gillian Rose’s visual methodologies, I examine the conundrums of gender performance in the patriarchal Pakistani society by significantly focusing on how Khwaja's dance performance challenges normative gender roles and problematises societal backlash on becoming a queer-oriented religious person. Nonetheless, his newly acquired queerness as rejection of the norms highlights the socio-religious dilemma of his existence. This study reflects on the problem of queer phenomenological belongingness and unbelongingness of Khwaja as a disoriented figure in the hetero-obsessed patriarchal society and the resultant challenges he faces due to the backlash on his dance performance while asserting his identity as a righteous masculine man. Although he refuses to apologise, this extended space becomes disgraceful for him, and recreates his marginalised position as a fat-belly dancer. By examining the societal reaction to Khwaja's performance, I underscore the complexities of queer identity politics in contemporary Pakistan, shedding light on both the challenges and resilience of  individuals navigating cultural norms for adjustment.

Circovirus vaccination in pigs with subclinical porcine circovirus type 2 infection complicated by ileitis
Authors: Young Malachy , Cunningham Gail , Sanford Ernest
Published: July 2024

This study demonstrated a clear benefit in vaccinating pigs subclinically infected with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) with a one-dose PCV2 vaccine. At weaning (3 weeks of age), 1427 pigs were vaccinated and 1431 were sham-inoculated with a placebo (0.9% physiological saline). After 33 days in the nursery, 528 pigs from each treatment group were moved into 48 pens in a commercial finisher barn, ensuring equal age of pigs across both treatments. Each pig was weighed on day 2 in the finisher barn and on day 88 (end of the study period). The vaccinates had a 36-g-per-day advantage in daily gain and 4.6% less mortality than the unvaccinated pigs. More than twice as many vaccinates as unvaccinated pigs (40 versus 16, respectively) were marketed at the first shipment. Furthermore, carcass weight (95.0 kg versus 94.0 kg; P < .05), lean percent (60.52% versus 60.26%; P < .05) and carcass index (111.6 versus 111.1; P < .05) were all greater for the vaccinates. The mean loin depth was 65.1 mm for vaccinates and 63.3 mm for unvaccinated pigs (P < .05). The vaccinated pigs delivered a return on investment of $5.90 per pig over the unvaccinated pigs.
Establishment and maintenance of a porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)-free breeding herd on a site that experienced a natural outbreak of PCV2-associated reproductive disease
Authors: Patterson Abby , Madson Darin , Schalk Shayleen , Halbur Patrick , Opriessnig Tanja
Published: July 2024

An outbreak of reproductive failure associated with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) occurred in a closed, PCV2-naive, specific-pathogen-free herd in Iowa in 2009. Elimination of infectious PCV2 from the breeding-herd site, the outcome after repopulation, and the attempt to derive PCV2-negative animals by offsite segregation are summarized. Clinical signs were limited to an increased incidence of mummified fetuses. After confirmation of PCV2-associated lesions in the fetuses and PCV2 viremia in dams, the herd was depopulated. Cleaning and disinfection of the premises prior to repopulation included removal of gross organic material, exposure of equipment to natural UV light, multiple applications of disinfectant, and application of paint or sealer to porous surfaces. During the 63-day clean-up period, no pigs were on the site. An improved biosecurity plan was implemented. The herd was repopulated and a PCV2-naive population had remained PCV2-negative for 20 months at the time of writing. Attempts to derive PCV2-negative pigs from the positive herd following offsite segregation were unsuccessful. The combination of a multistep cleaning and disinfection protocol with a strict biosecurity plan can result in the maintenance of PCV2-naive animals on a previously contaminated site.

Clinical and laboratory studies on herds affected with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome in Denmark, France, Spain, and Sweden: Disease progression and a proposal for herd case definition
Authors: Grau-Roma L , Baekbo P , Rose N , Wallgren P , Fraile L , Larsen E , Segales J
Published: July 2024

Objectives: To propose and evaluate a protocol to establish a diagnosis of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) at herd level. Materials and methods: The data used included both laboratory data from previous epidemiological studies carried out in Italy, Denmark, and Spain and original postweaning mortality data collected from several herds in Denmark, France, Spain, and Sweden. Statistical process control techniques were used to analyze the longitudinal evolution of mortality in each herd. Results: The analysis of data sets from three different countries showed that to diagnose at least one PMWS-affected pig with a probability > 95%, it is necessary to study a minimum of three to five pigs. Longitudinally collected data showed that when > 20 data points were available, a significant increase in mortality was always detected at close to the time of PMWS diagnosis. When < 10 points were available, a significant increase in mortality was detected in four of six studied herds, although mortality percentages were always higher at the time of PMWS diagnosis than before diagnosis. Implications: These results suggest that two conditions must be fulfilled to diagnose PMWS in a herd. Firstly, a significant increase in postweaning mortality, compared to the historical background in the herd, must be observed in association with clinical signs compatible with PMWS. Secondly, PMWS must be diagnosed in at least one of three to five necropsied pigs concurrently with the increase in mortality. Ruling out other potential causes of increased mortality is also necessary.
Age-dependent susceptibility to porcine circovirus type 2 infections is likely associated with declining levels of maternal antibodies
Authors: Shen Hui-Gang , Loiacono Christie , Halbur Patrick , Opriessnig Tanja
Published: July 2024

Objectives: To investigate the relationships between age, porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) viremia, and pathologic lesions by evaluating the age of porcine circovirus associated disease- (PCVAD-) affected pigs submitted to Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory between 2003 and 2010 and by experimentally infecting pigs of different ages. Materials and methods: A total of 3565 PCVAD cases were selected and ages of PCVAD-affected pigs summarized. Sixty-two pigs were randomly assigned to three groups and inoculated with PCV2 at 2 weeks (AGE-2; n = 21), 7 weeks (AGE-7; n = 20), or 12 weeks of age (AGE-12; n = 21). A portion of the pigs in each group arbitrarily selected by the farm manager were vaccinated with an adjuvanted vaccine (Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae) at 1 week of age. All pigs were euthanized 14 days post inoculation (DPI). Lesions and viremia were compared among groups. Results: Among PCVAD cases received from 2003 to 2010, 47.6% were 12 to 16 weeks of age. AGE-12 pigs had significantly lower levels of PCV2 antibody compared with AGE-2 and AGE-7 pigs at the time of inoculation, and AGE-12 pigs had significantly higher levels of PCV2 viremia at 7 and 14 DPI. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae-vaccinated pigs in the AGE-12 group had higher levels of PCV2 viremia compared to nonvaccinated pigs; however, this effect was not seen in younger pigs. Implications: Under field conditions, 12- to 16-week-old pigs are most commonly affected by PCVAD. Under experimental conditions, 12-week-old pigs are more susceptible to PCV2 infection than are 2- and 7-week-old pigs.

Authors: Caspari Kai , Henning Heiko , Schaller Christiane , Kuhn Nicolas , Kummerlen Dolf
Published: July 2024

This case report concerns a 3.5-year-old Duroc boar with an enlargement of the left hemiscrotum. Sonography revealed multiple hypoechogenic cavities around the testis, indicating a complex hydrocele. An infectious origin of the hydrocele was excluded by laboratory tests. Repeated semen analysis by microscope, computer-assisted sperm analyzer, flow cytometric assessment, and sperm chromatin structure assay showed only a subtle increase in proportion of sperm with head deformities 7 weeks after first clinical signs were observed. Necropsy confirmed the sonographic findings. The left testis was only half the size of the right. Histological examination of the left testis revealed moderate interstitial fibrosis, and areas of calcification were found. Signs of spermatogenesis were detected in only a few areas. Analysis of semen production data showed that the number of sperm per ejaculate was lower for this boar at the age of 2.5 to 3.5 years than at the age of 1.5 to 2.5 years (P < .001). To our knowledge, this is the first report of a complex hydrocele in a boar in the context of semen quantity and quality.

Published: July 2024

Objective: To determine if a Husbandry Educator (HE) could positively affect mortality or culling rates, productivity, and treatment costs in postweaned pigs. Materials and methods: Two trials were conducted, each comparing nursery group performance monitored by a HE to that in groups receiving standard care (SC). Trial 1 was a retrospective analysis that compared mortality rate, end-of-nursery weight, and treatment cost before (n = 72 groups) and after (n = 83 groups) HE training at 12 nursery sites. Trial 2 prospectively compared the percentages of culls, mortality, and high-value nursery pigs and per-head treatment costs in groups randomly assigned to HE (n = 20) or SC groups (n = 20). Production outcomes were compared at the group level. Results: In Trial 1, differences between HE and SC groups in overall mortality rate (3.12% ± 0.001% versus 3.64% ± 0.004%) and treatment cost per pig ($0.54 ± $0.06 versus $1.08 ± $0.08) were significant (P < .001). End-of-nursery weight was higher in HE groups (26.28 ± 0.20 kg) than in SC groups (25.51 ± 0.20 kg; P < .05). In Trial 2, percentage of high-value end-of-nursery pigs was higher in HE groups (93.92% ± 0.007%) than in SC groups: (91.48% ± 0.007%; P < .001). All values expressed as mean ± standard error. Implication: The systematic application of husbandry practices taught and encouraged by a HE and focusing on individual pig care and execution of existing protocols can significantly improve productivity, mortality and culling rates, and treatment costs in growing pigs.
Antimicrobial susceptibility of porcine Pasteurella multocida, Streptococcus suis, and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae from the United States and Canada, 2001 to 2010
Authors: Portis Ellen , Lindeman Cynthia , Johansen Lacie , Stoltman Gillian
Published: July 2024

Objective: To provide data on the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of three bacterial respiratory disease pathogens isolated from swine across the United States and Canada over the period 2001 to 2010. Materials and methods: A total of 1097 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, 2389 Pasteurella multocida, and 2617 Streptococcus suis isolates recovered from diseased or dead swine from North America over a 10-year period were tested for in vitro susceptibility to antimicrobial agents approved for treatment of swine respiratory disease (SRD). Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute standardized methods were used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of ceftiofur, enrofloxacin, florfenicol, penicillin, tetracycline, tilmicosin, and tulathromycin. Results: Over the years 2001to 2010, A pleuropneumoniae and P multocida remained susceptible to ceftiofur, enrofloxacin, florfenicol, tilmicosin, and tulathromycin, and S suis remained susceptible to ceftiofur, enrofloxacin, and florfenicol. Low penicillin MIC values for P multocida and S suis and higher MIC values for A pleuropneumoniae were also seen. Most isolates of all three organisms were resistant to tetracycline over the 10 years of the survey. Implications: Monitoring antimicrobial susceptibility among swine pathogens over time provides valuable information about changes which may be occurring in the antimicrobial susceptibility of these organisms and is an important tool in effective antimicrobial therapy. Surveillance of the in vitro susceptibility of these SRD pathogens continues to be an important component in antimicrobial stewardship.

Published: July 2024

Exudative epidermitis, a porcine disease caused by Staphylococcus hyicus, produces serious economic losses in severely affected herds. In this report, we describe a case of exudative epidermitis in a wild boar presenting specific clinical signs. The affected animal was a female approximately 6 months old, with greasy brown exudates around the mouth and eyes and on the neck and legs, separation of the horn at the bulbs of the heels, necrosis of the tips of the pinnae and tail, and focal ulcerative stomatitis. Multiple septic emboli and necrotic foci were observed in the lung. Staphylococcus hyicus isolates were obtained from affected skin and lungs. This disease and others that occur on wild boar farms, while similar to those described in domestic pigs, tend to produce specific clinical signs in wild boar, such as the pneumonic lesions in this case. Exudative epidermitis in this animal was aggravated by these pneumonic lesions. The increasing economic relevance of wild boar farming has led to an increase in the occurrence of infectious diseases. Knowledge about their epidemiological, clinical, and pathological manifestations in wild boar will facilitate prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, reducing the impact on animal health and economics in this new niche swine production.
Effects of yohimbine, an alpha 2-antagonistic reversal agent, on physiological recovery parameters of anesthetized sows
Authors: Pairis-Garcia Monique , Johnson Anna , Millman Suzanne , Stalder Kenneth , Karriker Locke
Published: July 2024

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of yohimbine as an anesthetic reversal agent for sows anesthetized with a combination of xylazine, ketamine, and telazol. Materials and methods: Anesthesia was induced with xylazine, ketamine, and telazol in a single syringe, injected intramuscularly (IM). Following a 20-minute stabilization period, palpebral reflex was evaluated, and if absent, sows were injected IM with sterile saline (Control sows; n = 12) or yohimbine HCl (0.1 mg per kg; Yohimbine sows; n = 12). Data collected included insensibility measures (palpebral reflex, jaw tone, nose prick, alertness to human approach test, body posture) and physiologic measurements (heart rate, rectal temperature, respiratory rate, oxyhemoglobin saturation). Data was collected every 10 minutes until complete sensibility was attained. Results: Yohimbine sows recovered from anesthesia 162 minutes earlier than Control sows (P < .01). For all insensibility measures, Yohimbine sows regained a normal response more quickly than Control sows (P < .001). In addition, Yohimbine sows maintained greater heart rate (P < .05) and rectal temperature (P < .001) between onset of anesthesia (the time anesthetic agents were injected) to completion of the trial (when sow attained complete return to sensibility). Respiratory rate and oxyhemoglobin saturation were maintained within normal physiological ranges throughout anesthesia, confirming that respiratory capability was not compromised under this anesthetic protocol. Implications: Yohimbine is an effective reversal agent in sows anesthetized with xylazine, ketamine, and telazol administered simultaneously. This agent can be used by veterinarians to ensure a quicker recovery from anesthesia with minimal complications.
A single dose of a commercial anti-gonadotropin releasing factor vaccine has no effect on testicular development, libido, or sperm characteristics in young boars
Authors: Scheid Isabel , Oliveira Jr Fabio , Borges Ana , Braga Thiago , Soncini Ricardo , Mathur Sheerin , Allison James , Hennessy DAvid
Published: July 2024

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of one dose of an anti-gonadotropin releasing factor (GnRF) vaccine on testicular development, sexual behavior, and sperm characteristics in young boars. Materials and methods: A total of 48 pigs were equally allocated to two treatments, Controls and Immunized, with a single dose of an anti-GnRF vaccine at 16 weeks of age. Sexual behavior was evaluated 5 to 8 weeks later. Of these 48 pigs, 22 (12 Controls, 10 Immunized) underwent weekly semen collections for 14 consecutive weeks, starting 17 weeks after immunization. One week after completion of the weekly collections, six boars per treatment underwent daily collections for 7 days. Blood for testosterone analysis was collected from seven animals per group at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 28 weeks post immunization. Results: There were no statistical differences between treatments in gonad size, the sexual behavior test, qualitative and quantitative semen characteristics, sperm morphology, time to mount, ejaculation time, or serum testosterone concentrations. There was no histological evidence of an alteration in onset and development of puberty in the immunized pigs. Implications: Under the conditions of this study, one dose of an anti-GnRF vaccine given to 16-week-old boars has no effect on testicular development, sexual behavior, or sperm characteristics. As final replacement-boar testing is typically conducted after 24 weeks of age, a priming dose of vaccine could be given prior to boars undergoing final testing without negative impact on testicular development and future breeding potential.

One- and two-dose recombinant porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) vaccines did not differ significantly in terms of immunological testing (neutralizing antibody titers, number of interferon-γ-secreting cells), virological testing (number of PCV2 genomic copies per mL serum), and pathological evidence of infection (lymphoid lesions scores and PCV2 antigen-positive cells).
On Some Functions Related to e*-θ-open Sets
Authors: Ayhan Burcu Sünbül
Published: July 2024

In this study, we defined the concept of quasi $e^*$-$\theta$-closed sets by means of $e^*$-$\theta$-open sets. Depending on this concept, we introduced approximately $e^{\ast}\theta$-open functions and investigated some of its basic properties. Also, we defined and studied contra pre $e^{\ast}\theta$-open functions, which are stronger than the approximately $e^{\ast}\theta$-open functions. Moreover, we characterized the class of $e^*\theta$-$T_\frac {1}{2}$ spaces.

An emulsifier is incorporated to delay the fat bloom formation and improve the overall quality of dark chocolate. This study aims to investigate the effects of different emulsifiers on the physical properties and stability of fat bloom in dark chocolate with cocoa butter alternatives (CBAs). Dark chocolate formulations were prepared containing different emulsifiers like lecithin, glycerol monostearate and a combination of both with CBAs like cocoa butter substitute (CBS) and cocoa butter replacer (CBR). Physical property analyses included hardness, snap texture, melting behaviour, pH, and water activity. The whiteness index was used to measure fat maturity. The results showed that the addition of lecithin, CBS, and CBR decreased the hardness value. Meanwhile, samples of chocolate formulation with the addition of glycerol monostearate (CB+GMS), and chocolate formulation with the addition of lecithin and glycerol monostearate (CB+2E), increased the hardness and snap texture. Besides, CBR increased the peak temperature, and emulsifiers increased the peak temperature in samples with CB and CBR while decreasing the melting enthalpy. Furthermore, the addition of CBA and emulsifiers improved the stability of the fat bloom. Therefore, mixed emulsifiers, which have favourable physical properties and higher fat bloom stability, are ideal for use in chocolate production. CBAs have the potential for practical application in chocolate production to improve fat bloom stability.

Published: July 2024

El objetivo de este estudio consiste en realizar un análisis psicométrico de la escala de Alfabetismo de Nuevos Medios (NML), New Media Literacy Scale, desarrollada por Koc y Barut (2016) e inédita para el contexto Latinoamericano. El estudio psicométrico se basó en información de 761 estudiantes universitarios de establecimientos públicos y privados de Quito-Ecuador. El análisis factorial confirmatorio identificó un modelo de cuatro factores (χ²/gl = 3.84, IFI = .91, TLI = .90, CFI = .91, RMSEA = .06, SRMR = .05) y una alta confiabilidad por subescala (valores ω oscilando entre .86 - .92 y valores α entre .89 - .93). El análisis de validez externa proporcionó evidencia favorable a partir de correlaciones significativas y negativas entre la escala NML y las creencias desinformativas sobre el COVID-19. Los resultados psicométricos permiten concluir que la escala NML es un instrumento válido y confiable para medir el alfabetismo de nuevos medios en el contexto social ecuatoriano. Finalmente, se establecen implicaciones y limitaciones, reflexionando sobre la importancia de contar con instrumentos de medida útiles para desarrollar estrategias de alfabetización efectivas.

Por tanto, el estudio presentado tiene el objetivo de analizar el grado de satisfacción en el alumnado que cursa el primer curso del Grado de Educación Primaria, tras realizar una actividad que combina la creación de una videopresentación con la construcción de una caja de vida personal.
Death and the Flesh: A Mental Health Nurse’s Interpretation of the Film Departures
Authors: Hamada Davey , McCaffrey Dr. Graham
Published: July 2024

This paper was originally written for a hermeneutic research course where I interpreted Yojiro Takita’s (2008) film Departures. I outline an interpretation of death that I came to after viewing the film, discussing death as a form of “unsettling.” Death unsettles by revealing life’s impermanence which is often concealed in everyday life. We may be reminded of it through the death of another. As per Heidegger, when we are perturbed by life’s finitude, we may be driven to action. Subsequently, death discloses life’s grotesqueness. Hidden within the vitality of life is the inevitable decay of the flesh. For some, this may trigger a sense of disgust. As people who work closely with death, nurses learn ways to manage their disgust. However, this experience may not apply to mental health nurses. I end this paper by reflecting on my own experience as a mental nurse, questioning if my choice of specialty is perhaps related to the avoidance of death and the flesh.

Revisiting Edward Said`s Self-Representation in Susan Abulhawa`s Mornings in Jenin
Authors: Alqahtani Norah Hasan
Published: July 2024

Edward Said advocated for Palestinians to tell their own stories, emphasizing the need of self-representation in literature, politics, and cultural discourse. He believed that by reclaiming their narratives, Palestinians might combat inaccurate portrayals, counter negative stereotypes, and assert their autonomy in constructing their history and identity. This study argues that Susan Abulhawa's Mornings in Jenin echoes Said's call for self-representation by using storytelling to communicate a Palestinian perspective. Abulhawa's method provides an alternative narrative to external portrayals, which may perpetuate misunderstandings or oversimplify complex reality. This study focuses exclusively on Edward Said's concept of self-representation while examining Susan Abulhawa's Mornings in Jenin. The question was raised using a postcolonial methodology. The data for the study was obtained from Susan Abulhawa's novel Mornings in Jenin, which was published by Bloomsbury Publishing in 2010. So, this study investigates the Palestinian perspective on the conflict as a decolonial strategy aimed at developing a political platform for Palestinians through a focus on their experiences and struggles under Israeli occupation. In sum, the author`s narrative contributes to a broader conversation on Palestinian identity, dispossession, and resistance.
