Impact of climate change on poultry production: A review Impact du changement climatique sur la production avicole: un bilan
Authors: Irivboje O. A. , Olufayo O. O. , Irivboje Y. I.
Published: March 2021

One of the major challenges the world is facing currently is the issue of climate change, which  is majorly caused by the emission of greenhouse gas that results in warming of the  atmosphere, thus poses a threat to agriculture, socio-economic development and feed  sustainability. An aspect of agriculture majorly affected by climate change is poultry  production. The effect of climate change can be felt by poultry birds due to its range in  thermal condition that affects the animal's physiological and behavioural activities.  Production in Poultry birds is mostly at its peak under a tolerable heat condition. An  understanding of how to control environmental conditions is very crucial to a successful  poultry production and welfare. Climate change influences the following aspect of poultry  production; chicken embryonic development, growth and production efficiency, egg  production and egg quality, meat quality and disease.  
 
 
L'un des principaux défis auxquels le monde est actuellement confronté est le problème du  changement climatique, qui est principalement causé par l'émission de gaz à effet de serre  qui entraîne un réchauffement de l'atmosphère, qui constitue donc une menace pour  l'agriculture, le développement socio-économique et la durabilité des aliments. La  production de volaille est l'un des aspects de l'agriculture les plus touchés par le changement  climatique. L'effet du changement climatique peut être ressenti par les volailles en raison de  sa plage de conditions thermiques qui affecte les activités physiologiques et comportementales de l'animal. La production des volailles est surtout à son apogée dans des  conditions de chaleur tolérables. Une compréhension de la façon de contrôler les conditions  environnementales est très cruciale pour une production et un bien-être avicole réussis. Le  changement climatique influence l'aspect suivant de la production de volaille;  développement embryonnaire de poulet, croissance et efficacité de la production, production  et qualité des œufs, qualité de la viande et maladies.

Published: March 2021

The study was conducted to investigate the potent capacity of selenium to curtail the adverse  effects of heat stress in broiler chickens. A total of 256, day old Cobb 500 broiler chicks were  randomly allotted to four experimental treatments (0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mgSe/kg), with four  replicates in a completely randomized design. Initial weight, daily feed intake, daily weight  gain, final weight, feed conversion ratio, daily water intake, feed cost/kg gain, mortality,  serum cortisol and thyroxine levels, calcium, phosphorus and ash levels in tibia bone and  faeces and weight, length and robusticity index of tibia bone were determined. Results  indicated that Initial weight, daily feed intake, daily weight gain, final weight, feed  conversion ratio, daily water intake and mortality were similar (p>0.05) across the treatment  groups and feed cost/kg gain was lower in broilers birds fed 0.3 mgSe/kg. Selenium  supplementation at 0.1 and 0.2 mgSe/kg lowered (p<0.05) cortisol and increased (p>0.05)  thyroxine level, respectively. Mineral deposition in tibia bone was similar (p>0.05), calcium  excretion was higher (p<0.05) in the control group and higher phosphorus was observed in  the faeces of broilers fed the control diet, 0.1 and 0.3 mgSe/kg. Tibia measurements were  similar (p>0.05) in all treatments.

Varying chiral ratio of Pinic acid enantiomers above the Amazon

Published: March 2021

Abstract. Chiral chemodiversity plays a crucial role in biochemical processes such as insect and plant communication. However, the vast majority of organic aerosol studies do not distinguish between enantiomeric compounds in the particle phase. Here we report chirally specified measurements of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) at the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO) at different altitudes during three measurement campaigns at different seasons. Analysis of filter samples by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has shown that the chiral ratio of pinic acid (C9H14O4) varies with increasing height above the canopy. A similar trend was recently observed for the gas-phase precursor α-pinene, but more pronounced. Nevertheless, the measurements indicate that neither the oxidation of (+/−)-α-pinene nor the incorporation of the products into the particulate phase proceeds with stereo preference and that the chiral information of the precursor molecule is merely transferred to the low-volatility product. The observation of the weaker height gradient of the present enantiomers in the particle phase at the observation site can be explained by the significant differences in the atmospheric lifetimes of reactant and product. Therefore, it is suggested that the chiral ratio of pinic acid is mainly determined by large-scale emission processes of the two precursors, while meteorological, chemical, or physicochemical processes do not play a particular role. Characteristic emissions of the chiral aerosol precursors from different forest ecosystems, in some cases even with contributions from forest related fauna, could thus provide large-scale information on the different contributions to biogenic secondary aerosols via the analytics of the chiral particle-bound degradation products.
Cloud Feedbacks from CanESM2 to CanESM5.0 and their
Inﬂuence on Climate Sensitivity
Authors: Virgin John G. , Fletcher Christopher G. , Cole Jason N. S. , von Salzen Knut , Mitovski Toni
Published: March 2021

Abstract. The newest iteration of the Canadian Earth System Model (CanESM5.0.3) has an Effective Climate Sensitivity (ECS) of 5.65 kelvin, which is a 54 % increase relative to the model's previous version (CanESM2 – 3.67 K), and the highest sensitivity of all current models participating in the sixth phase of the coupled model inter-comparison project (CMIP6). Here, we explore the underlying causes behind CanESM5's increased ECS via comparison of forcing and feedbacks between CanESM2 and CanESM5. We find only modest differences in radiative forcing as a response to CO2 between model versions. Through the use of cloud area fraction output and radiative kernels, we find that more positive shortwave cloud feedbacks – particularly with regards to low clouds across the equatorial pacific, as well as sub/extratropical free troposphere cloud optical depth – are the dominant contributors to CanESM5's increased climate sensitivity. Additional simulations with prescribed sea surface temperatures reveal that the spatial pattern of surface temperature change explains the pattern of change in low cloud fraction, but does not fully explain the increased ECS in CanESM5. The results from CanESM5 are consistent with increased ECS in several other CMIP6 models, which has been primarily attributed to changes in shortwave cloud feedbacks.

Features Of Islamic State And Politics
Authors: Wattoo Inam Ullah
Published: March 2021

Islam is a universal religion and final version of past divine religions. It provides guidance in every sphere of human life. It is the duty of religion to establish a peaceful existence in society. Now a days western and European countries (under modern and western political system) are facing a serious issue of pluralism. They are trying their best to solve it but all in vain. Islam presents a unique political system which is the only solution of such problems. Islamic political system provides peaceful co-existence for pluralistic society. Examples of the period of pious Caliphs is a great evidence in this concern. There are three types of Islamic government, namely Immamat, Immarat, and Khalafat. Furthermore there are three types of Khilafat; general, individual and national Caliphate. Islam provides very clear instructions for the selection of a caliph. Head of Islamic state should be a Muslim. According to Sharia, firm belief on the oneness of Allah and finality of Prophethood in the Prophecy of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) are basic conditions for being a Caliph in an Islamic state. In this political system Allah is the only sovereign of the state. It is the duty of all Muslims to obey Allah, his apostle and ruler of the time. All the matters of the state are discussed in Majlas e Shura. Ruler of the state is answerable before his subjects and Allah almighty. In Islam, politics and religion are not different departments. This article deals with the functions and feature of the Islamic state.

Legitimacy of Right to Self-Determination Under International Law
Authors: Arif Sardar M. A. Waqar Khan
Published: March 2021

The term self-determination refers to process by which people determine their political status. It is well established that right to self-determination (RSD) is available to all and based on its historical and conceptual evolution, its status amounts to jus cogens or obligations erga omes. In other words, it is a part of customary international law (CIL). While exercising self-determination, people may freely determine their legal and political status vis-a-vis free to pursue economic, social and cultural (ESC) development by virtue of that right. The important milestones for defining and recognizing RSD are (i) the International Covenant on civil and political rights (ICCPR), 1966 and (ii) the International Covenant on economic, social and cultural rights (ICESR), 1966 which defines RSD. In terms of RSD's implementation, there exist certain hurdles and impediments which lead to non-exercise of this right. In this context, this article focuses on legitimacy and various paradoxes of RSD under International law. It analyses its scope, binding nature and legal status with reference to the occupied people in an occupied territory. It discusses different views in relation to its applicability. The argument developed throughout the article is that by virtue of recognition of RSD, in general, international community may implement RSD of those who are denied so far and ensure its availability to all in practical terms. In particular, such right may be implemented in occupied territories by means of referendum or plebiscite under auspices of the United Nations (UN) for securing rights of those who are struggling since decades. It concludes that, by virtue of implementation and enforcement of RSD in all jurisdictions, universal lasting peace can be established and international security can be ensured.

Published: March 2021

The objective of the current study is to examine the impact of social risk, government role, and psychological factors on online shopping behavior. In addition, the moderating role of culture between social risk and online shopping behavior. Simple random sampling technique was used to collect data from respondents by using a questionnaire approach. Confirmatory factor analyses, as well as structural equation modelling techniques, were used for analysis purpose. Findings revealed that social risk and psychological factors have a negative and significant impact on online shopping behavior. Government role and culture have a positive and significant impact on online shopping behavior. Moreover, culture positively moderates the relationship between social risk and online shopping behavior. Between social risk and online shopping behavior moderating role of culture have less attention in prior studies and this research fills that gap. Future research should be held in some other developing countries as well as in developed countries with financial risk, product risk, privacy risk, convenience risk, electronic word of mouth, brand association, advertising factors, perceived quality, and online shopping behavior.
Photographic Documentation as a Mode of Data Collection in Qualitative Research: A Case of Pilot Testing in Linguistic Landscape
Authors: Tahir Samia , Bidin Dr. Siti Jamilah
Published: March 2021

Qualitative research is known as an exploratory research, in which the common modes of data collection are interviews, focus group discussions and observational methods. Though there is a large amount of data available on how to conduct qualitative research through the above-mentioned three modes, little do we know about photographic documentation as a rather new and under researched mode of data collection in qualitative research. This paper attempts to explore photographic documentation as a primary mode of data collection in linguistic landscape. Linguistic landscape is a very popular and thriving area of research in applied linguistics. It is the visibility and salience of languages in public spaces, most commonly conducted on public and private signboards. The usual norm of conducting research in linguistic landscape is to click pictures of signboards and conduct an analysis of the language used on those signboards. This paper discusses the pilot testing of this mode of data collection, i.e. photographic documentation. After clicking pictures of public signboards from two public parks in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan (following a very systematic approach), mediated discourse analysis was applied on it. Mediated discourse analysis is a specialized form of discourse analysis, having its roots in critical discourse analysis. Mediated discourse analysis observes the relationship between discourse and action. According to Scollon & Scollon (2003), we can only fully interpret the meaning of public texts by considering the social and physical world that surrounds them. The photographic data collected was analyzed at three levels; the text, the physicality of signboards and the social world in which they are displayed. This study suggests ways in improving this mode and procedure of data collection as to get notable findings in a qualitative research on linguistic landscape.

Published: March 2021

The debate on the role of Foreign Direct Investment in promoting rapid growth and development of the developing economies remain inconclusive. This paper examined whether FDI still matters in African Countries over the period of 1990 to 2017, with the proper utilization of panel data estimation technique on the annual country data that were sourced from world Governance and Development Indicators. Using random and fixed effect model, the results reveal that some important variables such as coefficient of trade openness, rule of law, political stability, capital formation and population positively determined economic growth in Africa countries, account for about 2, 1, 65, 170, and 396.7 percent increase in economic growth. While, FDI and inflation were found to have negative impact on economic growth accounting for 21.4 and 2 percent fall in economic growth over the study period. The study then recommends amongst others formulation and implementation of policies that encourage domestic investment in the continents.

Impact of Trade Openness on Industrialization in Nigeria
Authors: Ojuolape Adebayo Mohammed , Adeniyi Deborah Boluwatife
Published: March 2021

The state of Nigeria as regards the effect of trade openness on industrialization is a major concern. This research helps to evaluate this effect. The variables show a long-run relationship, using Bound Cointegration test. The final analytical result was gotten using ARDL (Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag) Co-integration and Long-run form. The results show that trade openness is not significant, and it is negatively related to industrialization. The implication of this is that it hinders industrialization in Nigeria. This is due to excess importation and infrastructure deficit, alongside other factors. The study recommended that existing policies should not be waved aside; there should be engagement in international industrial competitiveness, and stabilization of exchange rate.
A Conceptual Paper on Self-Esteem and Social Anxiety Of Stutter Students' in Pakistan
Authors: Yasin Raja Mahtab , Iqbal Faiza
Published: March 2021

Stuttering demands a multidimensional interpretation, as the consequences of the symptoms have been shown in recent years, with psycho-social and psychological effects shown with people living with a stutter far beyond the surface elements. This work explores the degree to which students may stutter with disabilities among school children and adults who stutter (AWS). The effect of stuttering on a person and on the members of the family (siblings, parents and partners) is discussed in this article. Such issues cover mental and social problems, self consciousness, stuttering responses, interpersonal difficulties in everyday situations, and the overall quality of life. The effect of stuttering on the person who shares stuttering with others is illustrated. The explanation of stuttering in children and adolescents who have severe adverse effects from dealing with a stutter mentioned is explored during their existence. The impact of the stuttering condition on the parents and sisters of children who stutter is also discussed with interesting studies about the sense of connection and confidence between young people and their parents. The family obligations and expectations for parents and siblings are stressed. The focus is also on dealing with a person who stutters from their life partner's viewpoint. Presumed quality of life is discussed through unforeseen variations between the adult's quality of life and the expectations of the spouse of the individual. Eventually, there is the potential for a new appreciation and engagement strategy for people who stutter.

Sistemas mediáticos en democracias no consolidadas: El caso de México
Authors: Guerrero Manuel Alejandro
Published: March 2021

En un régimen en transición los medios, como otros actores de peso, tienen la posibilidad de optar, dentro de ciertos límites estructurales, por determinado tipo de comportamientos en los diferentes momentos de incertidumbre. En México, durante la liberalización y la primera alternancia (2000-2018), una buena parte de los medios informativos convencionales optó por mantener intercambios convenientes con los actores políticos en lugar de presionar por la consolidación democrática mediante una transformación más profesional del quehacer informativo. Resultado: alta diversidad de medios con independencia supeditada a los intereses económicos y políticos de dueños y editores con fuertes distorsiones de las funciones informativas y de vigilancia del periodismo en general. No obstante, las cosas no han mejorado a lo largo de la segunda alternancia (2018- ), pues en la democracia mexicana, que sigue careciendo de mecanismos efectivos de responsabilidad, el mayor riesgo a la independencia informativa proviene tanto del asedio gubernamental, como de un entorno mediático en el que, con notables excepciones, buena parte de los medios convencionales ha mantenido las mismas prácticas del quehacer informativo, aunque ahora centrado en exhibir al gobierno más que en analizar e informar a la sociedad.

Emergency Shelter Site Selection in Maar Shurin Community of Idlib (Syria)
Authors: Çetinkaya Cihan , Özceylan Eren , İşleyen Selçuk Kürşat
Published: March 2021

Constructing shelters is one of the most important precautions to reduce human casualties during disasters. The critical point in locating the shelter is the selection of the proper site. Unless shelters are placed in the right locations, they cannot serve as lifesaving tools. In this article, shelter site selection for a conflict area in Syria is taken into account. Notoriously, Syria has been facing these conflicts since 2011 and the intensity of the incidents is varying from region to region. Thus, in this study, Maar Shurin Community of Idlib is chosen as the study area because of its high airstrike/casualty statistics in 2018. A geographic information system (GIS) and its multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) tools are used for determining the shelter site. Four different scenarios based on different criteria weights are generated to provide alternative solutions. It is believed that the outputs of the proposed methodology can help the local administration to solve its real-life problems.

Published: March 2021

The Janus tyrosine kinases (JAKs) have shown great promise as therapeutic protein targets in the treatment of cancer and inflammation diseases. This study used pharmacophore modeling to identify potential inhibitors of Janus kinase 3 (JAK3). A pharmacophore model was developed based on a known JAK3 inhibitor (1NX) and was employed to search for potential JAK3 inhibitors against Indonesian herbal compounds. Among 28 hit molecules that were identified and subjected to a molecular docking protocol against JAK3, the three compounds that had the highest affinities toward JAK3 were camelliaside B, 3-O-galloylepicatechin-(4beta-6)-epicatechin-3-O-gallate, and mesuaferrone B. These were then each subjected to a 50-ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Analysis of RMSD and RMSF values indicated that the three compounds reached stability during the MD simulation. Interestingly, all three compounds had lower binding energies than 1NX against JAK3, as predicted by the MM-PBSA binding energy calculation.

Published: March 2021

Se a técnica sempre foi um elemento fundamental na vida humana, ela se tornou no mundo moderno-contemporâneo o elemento determinante de nossa vida em todas as suas dimensões, isto é, tornou-se a esfera a partir da qual e em função da qual tudo, do macro ao micro, é pensado e regulado. É isso que o papa Bento XVI chama “horizonte cultural tecnocrático” e o papa Francisco chama “paradigma tecnocrático”. O texto faz uma reflexão filosófico-teológica do poder tecnológico no mundo atual a partir de suas implicações e de seus desafios socioambientais. Começa com uma reflexão sobre a importância e o lugar da técnica na vida humana (abordagem antropológica). Apresenta as características fundamentais da técnica moderna a partir de sua relação intrínseca com a ciência e com as forças dominantes da sociedade (relação técnica-ciência-poder). Explicita suas implicações e seus desafios socioambientais (abordagem ética). E conclui com algumas considerações de ordem teológico-pastorais, também a partir de suas implicações e de seus desafios socioambientais (abordagem teológica).
A perspectiva das duas espécies de justiça em Lutero como resposta crítica às crises contemporâneas: uma opção do pensar teologicamente a justiça em tempos sombrios
Authors: Teixeira Carlos Flavio
Published: March 2021

Este artigo trata da perspectiva das duas espécies de justiça conforme esboçada por Martinho Lutero e evidencia sua pertinência como resposta crítica às crises contemporâneas. Para isso, retoma a leitura da exposição de Lutero em seu “Sermão Sobre as Duas Espécies de Justiça”, relembrando os contextos histórico e bíblico de sua abordagem. A partir daí, aponta a crise de justiça como causa central das demais crises, reconhecendo suas possíveis motivações e consequências como condicionantes dos conflitos de justiça ainda vivenciados pela sociedade atualmente. Segue apresentando as noções de justiça exterior e justiça apropriada como resposta a esse caótico cenário e em protesto às formas insuficientes de justiça. Menciona os contornos e efeitos dessa proposta, notadamente seu potencial de interpelar a injustiça ao reascender na humanidade a chama da Justiça por meio da fé e da esperança. Conclui-se destacando a atualidade da perspectiva estudada e sua plausibilidade como opção para o pensar teologicamente a justiça em tempos sombrios.

A Study of p53 Action on DNA at the Single Molecule Level
Authors: Kamagata Kiyoto
Published: March 2021

The transcription factor p53 searches for and binds to target sequences within long genomic DNA, to regulate downstream gene expression. p53 possesses multiple disordered and DNA-binding domains, which are frequently observed in DNA-binding proteins. Owing to these properties, p53 is used as a model protein for target search studies. It counters cell stress by utilizing a facilitated diffusion mechanism that combines 3D diffusion in solution, 1D sliding along DNA, hopping/jumping along DNA, and intersegmental transfer between two DNAs. Single-molecule fluorescence microscopy has been used to characterize individual motions of p53 in detail. In addition, a biophysical study has revealed that p53 forms liquid-like droplets involving the functional switch. In this chapter, the target search and regulation of p53 are discussed in terms of dynamic properties.

Malaria, the severe vector-borne disease has embedded serious consequences on mankind since ages, causing deterioration of health, leading to deaths. The causative parasite has a wide distribution aligned from tropical to subtropical regions. Out of all the five species Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum have registered about more than 600 million cases worldwide. Throughout the decades, identification of various antimalarial drugs, targets, preventive measures and advancement of vaccines were achieved. The key to executing malaria elimination is the appropriate laboratory diagnosis. Development includes positive scientific judgments for a vaccine, advanced progress of 3 non-pyrethroid insecticides, novel genetic technologies, possibilities to alter malaria parasite mediation by the mosquito, identification of drug resistance markers, initiation of Plasmodium vivax liver stage assessment, perspective to mathematical modeling and screening for active ingredients for drugs and insecticides. Although the last century witnessed many successful programs with scientific progress, however, this was matched with notable obstacles. The mutation in the genes has changed the overall gameplay of eradication. This chapter aims to examine the numerous experimental and theoretical works that have been established in the last two decades along with the ongoing methodologies consisting of detailed explanations necessary for the establishment of new targets and drugs.

Background: Performance improvement in hospitals requires an appropriate model for performance evaluation. Because organizational goals cannot be achieved without a comprehensive model for evaluating and reviewing programs, organizations cannot apply effective management of programs without regard to the results of their activities. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to introduce a new model for improving the performance of hospital information systems using Six Sigma method in Kermanshah province hospitals. Methods: This is a qualitative research based on content analysis and Delphi method. The data are collected through semi-structured interviews and the participants are 19 experts in hospital performance systems which were selected by snowball sampling. After transcribing the interviews, three steps were done using content analysis: firstly, using line-by-line coding (or open coding) words and segments of interviews were coded, secondly, each code was conceptualized and categorized into some axial codes based on focused coding, and finally, selective coding was done in which categories were identified based on axial codes’ similarity, conceptual relationship and common characteristics. Results: The results of the coding of the interviews showed that variables such as reduction of medical errors, improvement of hospital quality of services, promotion of hospital efficiency and productivity, quick and easy access to information, increased patient satisfaction and safety, management and cost reduction, and time management and control influences the performance of hospital information systems. Conclusions: For improving hospital information systems, hospital managers and system developers should not only pay attention to variables which are controlled by the software and are least affected by the human resources of the organization; such as: cost control, quality control, information control and time control but also human based variables such as specialization of the staffs, their motivation, reduce errors and etc., which are sometimes neglected.
New skull material of Pleistocene dwarf deer from Crete (Greece)
Authors: SCHILLING Ann-Marie , RÖSSNER Gertrud E.
Published: March 2021

In the Pleistocene faunas of the island of Crete, Cervidae was one of the most abundant taxa. Respective species vary in body size, including dwarfs, and skeletal morphology; however, the number of species and the identity of the mainland ancestor(s) are still debated. In this paper, we morphologically and morpho­metrically describe and analyze eight skulls of Cretan deer from a so far little known fossil site near Gerani, Rethymnon, Greece. The recorded character suite allows for affiliation to dwarfed Candiacervus Kuss, 1975, Candiacervus ropalophorus de Vos, 1984 and C. reumeri van der Geer, 2018. It comprises previously unknown unique traits, some of them hinting to sexual dimorphism. Comparisons of the Candiacervus skulls presented here with those of cervids belonging to Megalocerotini Brooke, 1828, s.s. and s.l. stress certain similarities; yet more material is needed to reconstruct Candiacervus’ phylo­genetic position. The newly detected craniodental specifics allow for more insights into island adaptation of Candiacervus; at the same time, they blur the morphological heritage of their mainland ancestors.
