Introduction

Cardiac rehabilitation improves physical capacity, health-related quality of life, and reduces morbidity and mortality among cardiac patients. Telemonitored exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation may innovate existing programmes and increase participation rates.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to investigate if telemonitored exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation improves physical capacity, muscle endurance, muscle power, muscle strength and health-related quality of life in cardiac patients.

Methods

A follow-up study on moderate risk patients with ischaemic heart and heart valve disease referred to a 12-week telemonitored exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation intervention at Aarhus University Hospital (Denmark). Participants were encouraged to exercise 60 min three times weekly with moderate/high intensity for 20 min per session. Intensity and duration of training sessions were visualised on a smartphone and uploaded to a website. Participants received individual feedback from physiotherapists on their training efforts by telephone/email. Outcome measures were changes in physical capacity (peak oxygen uptake), muscle endurance, power, and strength, and health-related quality of life between baseline end of telemonitored exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation intervention, and at six and 12 months after end of telemonitored exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation.

Results

Thirty-four participants completed telemonitored exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation. We identified a significant increase in peak oxygen uptake of 10%, in muscle endurance of 17%, in muscle power of 7%, and in muscle strength of 10% after the telemonitored exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation programme. Health-related quality of life was significantly improved by 19% in the physical and 17% in the mental component scores. We found no significant improvement in peak oxygen uptake between baseline and 12 months follow-up, but a significant improvement in muscle endurance (0.3 watts/kg, 95% confidence interval; 0.2–0.4), muscle power (0.4 watts/kg; 0.2–0.5), muscle strength (0.5 N/m/kg; 0.1–0.9), physical health-related quality of life (five points; 2–8) and mental health-related quality of life (six points; 3–9).

Discussion

This study demonstrated that the self-elected type of physical exercise in cardiac rehabilitation with telemonitoring improved all outcome measures both on the short and long-term, except for peak oxygen uptake at 12 months follow-up.
Lateral-torsional buckling capacity of Hybrid Double-I-Box Beams: A numerical approach
Authors: Deepak MS , Shanthi VM
Published: August 2018

In this article, a parametric study on the lateral-torsional buckling performance of thin-walled cold-formed steel Hybrid Double-I-Box Beams through numerical analyses has been presented. These built-up beams have distinctive cross-section geometry; the presence of more section modulus at the flanges provides high resistance to flexural bending and the closed-box portion offers high stiffness to resist torsion and lateral buckling. Therefore, these beams can be used for longer spans. The nonlinear finite element analysis was performed using ABAQUS software. All the beams were modelled as ideal finite element models adopting simply supported boundary conditions and loads were applied as end moments. To acquire a large number of data, three varying parameters were considered namely, hybrid parameter ratio, that is, yield strength of flange steel to web steel (1.0, 1.3, 1.5 and 1.7); ratio of breadth to depth of the beam (4/6, 5/6, 6/6 and 7/6); and length of the beam (1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 in m). The thickness of both the flanges and the webs were 2.5 mm. All these parameters alter the overall slenderness of the members. It is shown that at larger spans, Hybrid Double-I-Box Beams experience lateral buckling. The results obtained from the numerical studies were plotted on nondimensional moment versus nondimensional slenderness graph. These results were compared with the predictions using effective width method design rules specified in Euro codes EN 3-1-3 and buckling curve-d of EN 3-1-1, which was originally adopted lateral-torsional buckling capacities of hot-rolled steel ‘I’ sections, and the adequacy is checked. It was found that Hybrid Double-I-Box Beams has higher lateral-torsional buckling capacity than common ‘I’ or box sections. Hence, a new simplified design equation was proposed for determining lateral-torsional buckling capacity of Hybrid Double-I-Box Beams.

Authors: Cléret Baptiste , Dehling Aurélie , Leroy Julie , Rokka Joonas , Sohier Alice , Herbert Maud
Published: August 2018

This article proposes a protocol for the videographic method in marketing research. Its aim is to develop the toolbox available to researchers by outlining how academic videography can be used and by identifying the challenges and opportunities inherent in such an approach. Providing researchers with a concrete guide in this way is also a response to the calls for more widespread use of this method in the academic community. The article presents both the application and an evaluation of the videographic method through four successive phases: pre-production, production, post-production and dissemination. This protocol is based on an analysis of the origins of videographic research – primarily North American. This is complemented by an analysis of the corpus of French-language productions presented at national and international conferences, with the aim of providing a broad and non-ethnocentric vision so as to specify the methodological process and the various choices involved, thereby contributing to the development of creative and innovative studies.
Validated artificial neural networks in determining petrophysical properties: A case study from Colombia
Authors: Iturrarán-Viveros Ursula , Muñoz-García Andrés M. , Parra Jorge O. , Tago Josué
Published: August 2018

We have applied instantaneous seismic attributes to a stacked P-wave reflected seismic section in the Tenerife field located in the Middle Magdalena Valley Basin in Colombia to estimate the volume of clay [Formula: see text] and the density [Formula: see text] at seismic scale. The well logs and the seismic attributes associated to the seismic trace closer to one of the available wells (Tenerife-2) is the information used to train some multilayered artificial neural networks (ANN). We perform data analysis via the gamma test, a mathematically nonparametric nonlinear smooth modeling tool, to choose the best input combination of seismic attributes to train ANNs to estimate [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Once the ANNs are trained, they are applied to predict these parameters along the seismic line. From the continuous estimations of [Formula: see text], we distinguish two facies: sands for [Formula: see text] and shales when [Formula: see text]. These estimations confirm the production of the Mugrosa C-Sands zone, and we draw the brown shale that correlates with the high-amplitude attributes and the yellow sand that correlates with the low-amplitude attributes. Using the well-log information for [Formula: see text] and the facies classification (also in the well log), two cubic polynomials that depend on time (or depth) are obtained, one for sands and the other for shales, to fit the [Formula: see text]. These two cubic polynomials and the facies classification obtained from the [Formula: see text] at the seismic scale enable us to estimate [Formula: see text] at the seismic scale. To validate the 2D [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] predicted data, a forward-modeling software (the Kennett reflectivity algorithm) is used. This model calculates synthetic seismograms that are compared with the real seismograms. This comparison indicates a small misfit that suggests that the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] images are representing the reservoir description characteristics and the ANN method is accurate to map these parameters.

Purpose

Early intensification with methotrexate (MTX) is a key component of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) therapy. Two different approaches to MTX intensification exist but had not been compared in T-cell ALL (T-ALL): the Children’s Oncology Group (COG) escalating dose intravenous MTX without leucovorin rescue plus pegaspargase escalating dose, Capizzi-style, intravenous MTX (C-MTX) regimen and the Berlin-Frankfurt-Muenster (BFM) high-dose intravenous MTX (HDMTX) plus leucovorin rescue regimen.

Patients and Methods

COG AALL0434 included a 2 × 2 randomization that compared the COG-augmented BFM (ABFM) regimen with either C-MTX or HDMTX during the 8-week interim maintenance phase. All patients with T-ALL, except for those with low-risk features, received prophylactic (12 Gy) or therapeutic (18 Gy for CNS3) cranial irradiation during either the consolidation (C-MTX; second month of therapy) or delayed intensification (HDMTX; seventh month of therapy) phase.

Results

AALL0434 accrued 1,895 patients from 2007 to 2014. The 5-year event-free survival and overall survival rates for all eligible, evaluable patients with T-ALL were 83.8% (95% CI, 81.2% to 86.4%) and 89.5% (95% CI, 87.4% to 91.7%), respectively. The 1,031 patients with T-ALL but without CNS3 disease or testicular leukemia were randomly assigned to receive ABFM with C-MTX (n = 519) or HDMTX (n = 512). The estimated 5-year disease-free survival ( P = .005) and overall survival ( P = .04) rates were 91.5% (95% CI, 88.1% to 94.8%) and 93.7% (95% CI, 90.8% to 96.6%) for C-MTX and 85.3% (95% CI, 81.0%–89.5%) and 89.4% (95% CI, 85.7%–93.2%) for HDMTX. Patients assigned to C-MTX had 32 relapses, six with CNS involvement, whereas those assigned to HDMTX had 59 relapses, 23 with CNS involvement.

Conclusion

AALL0434 established that ABFM with C-MTX was superior to ABFM plus HDMTX for T-ALL in approximately 90% of patients who received CRT, with later timing for those receiving HDMTX.
Oxygen Reserve Index: Validation of a New Variable
Authors: Vos Jaap Jan , Willems Cornelis H. , van Amsterdam Kai , van den Berg Johannes P. , Spanjersberg Rob , Struys Michel M. R. F. , Scheeren Thomas W. L.
Published: August 2018

BACKGROUND:

Pulse oximetry–derived oxygen saturation is typically >97% in normoxia and hyperoxia, limiting its clinical use. The new Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi), a relative indicator of the partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in arterial blood (Pao
2) in the range of 100–200 mm Hg, may allow additional monitoring of oxygen status.

METHODS:

In this prospective validation intervention study, 20 healthy volunteers were breathing standardized oxygen concentrations ranging from mild hypoxia (fraction of inspired oxygen = 0.14) to hyperoxia (fraction of inspired oxygen = 1.0) via a tight-fitting face mask. ORi was measured noninvasively by multiwavelength pulse co-oximetry using 2 finger sensors. These ORi values (unitless scale, 0.00–1.00) were compared with measured Pao
2 values. Repeated-measurements correlation analysis was performed to assess the ORi/Pao
2 relationship. ORi trending ability was assessed using a 4-quadrant plot. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve was calculated to assess the prediction of hypoxia (low-ranged Pao
2, <100 mm Hg).

RESULTS:

Within the ORi-sensitive range, a strong positive correlation was found between ORi and Pao
2 for both sensors (R = 0.78 and 0.83; P < .0001). ORi trending of Pao
2 was good within this range (concordance rate = 94%). The prediction of Pao
2 <100 mm Hg was also good, with an area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of 0.91 and 99% sensitivity and 82% specificity.

CONCLUSIONS:

In this prospective volunteer validation study, a strong and positive correlation between Pao
2 and ORi was found, together with a good trending ability. Based on these data, the future use of ORi as a continuous noninvasive monitoring tool for assessing oxygenation status in patients receiving supplemental oxygen might be supported.

Tem Angola na umbanda? Os usos da África pela umbanda omolocô
Authors: Bahia Joana , Nogueira Farlen
Published: August 2018

O presente trabalho analisa a disputa de narrativas empreendidas em torno da construção do campo religioso umbandista, entre os anos 40 e 50. Avaliamos a partir da trajetória de Tancredo da Silva e a sua defesa da umbanda omolocô, a disputa entre distintos segmentos da religião. Grupos que defendiam uma umbanda mais espírita, portanto mais sincretizada com elementos que a tornassem mais brasileira e outros que buscavam uma maior proximidade com a África e, portanto, com o candomblé. Sendo assim, ao buscar apresentar uma origem no continente africano para a umbanda, Tancredo estaria construindo uma identidade africana para a religião dialogando com a ideia de diáspora africana.
Homo academicus: as africanidades e afrodescendências nos cursos de História da UFPI e UESPI

A implementação de uma lei voltada para a reformulação do currículo na contemporaneidade revela as evidências materiais do processo histórico-acontecimental de inclusão e exclusão dos atores sociais a constituírem a população nacional nas narrativas sobre a formação da nação e do povo brasileiro com suas identificações, coletividades e representações. Deste modo, este artigo se propõe a refletir, a partir da obrigatoriedade das 10639/2003 e 11645/2008, e com base nos currículos da UFPI e UESPI, em que medida estas instituições, que são os dois principais centros de pesquisa e ensino do Estado do Piauí, foram capazes de trazer ao centro da formação dos professores de História os conteúdos da História e à Cultura Afro-Brasileiras, possibilitando à saída da carência de orientação (RÜSEN, 2001), no que se refere às africanidade, afro-brasilidade e afrodescendências contribuindo para a valorização da diversidade étnico-racial.
Impertinentes corpos pretos na “Cidade Olímpica”
Authors: De Alvarenga Filho José Rodrigues
Published: August 2018

O Rio de Janeiro dos “megaeventos esportivos” foi um comercial bem feito. As “arestas” foram aparadas, as sangrias contidas, as cicatrizes maquiadas, os defeitos escondidos, as vozes dissonantes, silenciadas; os corpos impertinentes, contidos ou exterminados. A partir de três cenas - os jovens no ônibus, o homem na velha cadeira de rodas na Praça XV e os usuários de crack no canteiro da Avenida Brasil- trazemos a narrativa de alguns anônimos que habitam as ruas cariocas e produzem, com o seu ir e vir, com suas súplicas ou o seu sorriso, tensionamentos na ordem. Suas vidas colidem com as relações de poder que no cotidiano os submetem e os descartam. Ao mesmo tempo, suas existências infames nos interrogam e interpelam: o que estamos fazendo com nossas vidas? A crítica do “sistema” é mera análise triste do “inferno dos vivos” Calvino (2001) ou abertura de espaço?

A hand-crafted slow revolution: Co-designing a new genre in the luxury world
Authors: Frater Judy , Hawley Jana M.
Published: August 2018

There exists an emerging genre of luxury that speaks to consumers’ desire for products that put a holistic view of sustainability at the forefront. Today, there are consumers who seek products that are not only unique and of high quality but also come with a story of the artisan and the community from which it originates. We argue that a new genre of luxury is formed as traditional craftsmen are exposed to the global marketplace and have the opportunity to interact with consumers who seek high-end or bespoke products. For this to be truly sustainable, artisans must develop commensurate capabilities. Thus, the new genre requires ‘co-design’. We use the case of the International Folk Art Market (IFAM) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States, as an example of creating a new luxury craft market, and the example of an innovative education programme for traditional artisans in India to show how artisans from remote parts of the world can increase their capacity to avail such new markets in a way that sustains them economically and culturally.
The role of the creative director in sustaining the luxury brand
Authors: VanderPloeg Alyson Janyne , Lee Seung-Eun
Published: August 2018

With the influence of mass distribution, short-term product life cycles and online retailing and marketing communications, the nature of luxury fashion is becoming more commercialized. This presents a challenge to luxury brands, whose intrinsic value has been based on brand heritage, product craftsmanship and exceptional quality. In the modern luxury fashion industry, the persona of the brand’s creative director plays an important role in upholding the brand’s value and image. With their artistic talents, vision and ability to personify the brand, creative directors have the power to reinterpret the brand’s iconic symbols and products into new versions appropriate for the current marketplace. In the increasingly fast-paced industry, creative directors are facing new roles and responsibilities. Therefore, this article attempts to address the changing nature of these roles and responsibilities of creative directors in sustaining the success of their luxury brand. Based on a model by Kapferer and Bastien, four aspects of luxury brands that creative directors need to incorporate into their brand and product strategies were addressed.
From Waverley to Outlander: How Scottish dress became everyone’s dress
Authors: Barks Brenna A.
Published: August 2018

Ethnic dress is usually stringently defined as a particular set of clothes produced and worn by a specific set of people and their descendants. It is an instantly recognizable visual representation of their culture and their heritage. This is no less true of Scottish tartan and kilts, but Scottish dress today is worn by groups as diverse as the Scottish people and their descendants and cosplayers who are fans of the television show, Outlander. Yet wearing of Scottish dress is no less an expression of these cosplayers’ identity. The world-wide appeal of a Romantic Scotland can be traced to Sir Walter Scott’s Waverley. Through a brief history of the invention of traditional Scottish dress by Scott and others and through interviews with a diverse range of people who wear Scottish dress this article will show that Scottish or Scottish-inspired dress is unique in that it not only represents a culture and history, but that it is malleable enough to enable a vast array of people to use it to communicate or even subsume their identities in the broader world.

AmeriKKKa’s most wanted: Hip Hop culture and Hip Hop theology as challenges to oppression
Authors: Hodge Daniel White
Published: August 2018

This article deals with Hip Hop and its cultural intricacies. Hip Hop transcends the mediated tropes of sexualized PoC bodies only yammering for money, fame, fortune and to ‘be the best’. Hip Hop is much more than tattoos, arpeggiated high hats and snares, gold chains, fancy grills and baggy pants. No, Hip Hop is a culture; a lifestyle; something that we in the academic community must take into strong consideration and begin to not just analyse it for tenure processes, but begin to ask, what does and can Hip Hop offer pedagogically and how might it inform our own scholarly work? Hip Hop is larger than the radio, commercialized artists and record industry branding. It is a culture, a people, a movement, a growing community of people that live, breathe, eat, love, hate and work just as anyone else does. Hip Hop cannot be easily understood or defined. This article gives an overview of both the academic pursuit of Hip Hop Studies and the subfield of Hip Hop and Religion.
Keepin’ it on da streets? UK rap and music education
Authors: Rambarran Shara
Published: August 2018

This is a perspective on UK’s take on hip hop. Better known as UK rap due to its current expansion of musical styles within the genre, including its exposure by social media and the association with another genre, grime, this perspective illustrates why UK rap is not sufficiently explored in English school education. This concept also links with Black British music, which has existed over 100 years, and yet, it still has not been cemented in school education. With the specific focus on UK rap, this perspective discusses its absence in the national curriculum in England by reflecting on the following: (1) the lack of understanding of the genre and its origins, (2) how rap can be included in music education and (3) why learning rap independently is perhaps more favourable in non-educational environments such as creative and public/social spaces.

Preparation and Application for Separation of Small Molecules of a New Poly(OVS-co-EDMA) Hybrid Monolithic Column
Authors: Wang Fengqing , Wei Aile , Zhao Jing , Liu Haiyan , Bai Ligai , Yan Hongyuan
Published: August 2018

A hybrid monolithic column was prepared using octavinyloctasilasesquioxane (OVS) as a monomer, benzoyl peroxide/dimethylacetamide (BPO/DMA) as initiator, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as cross-linker, 1-dodecanol as porogenic agent and dimethylbenzene as cosolvent. A tidy skeleton, much bigger specific surface area (22.4 m2/g) and lower swelling property of the monolithic column with OVS added than the one without OVS added were determined with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurements (BET) and swelling test with elute of different concentration of acetonitrile in water. Fourier-transform infrared spectra (FTIR) was taken to characterize the composition of groups. Moreover, a better separation performance for benzene series compounds under reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) mode was obtained using the monolithic columns with OVS added than those without.

Chagas Disease in Dogs
Authors: Márquez Contreras María Elizabeth
Published: August 2018

Chagas disease is zoonotic illness or an anthropozoonosis caused by flagellated protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. This infection presents alarming rates of incidence/prevalence, for this reason, is recognized worldwide as one of the 13 most neglected tropical diseases 1. Numerous studies have demonstrated the existence of domestic dogs infected with T. cruzi across endemic areas ranging from southern United States of America to Argentina 2. The reported prevalence varies widely (1.42-92%), depending on ecoepidemiological and sociocultural factors 3. It is important to emphasize that the natural infection in dogs with T. cruzi occurs in the same way as in humans, that is to say, through active transmission by vectors, contamination by feces infected with the parasite through wounds or the conjunctiva, can also occur by ingestion of infected vectors or tissues of wild animals present in the peridomicile or home 4. The transplacental transmission is also an important mode of transmission in dogs 5. Nevertheless, the main mode of transmission in canine species seems to be the ingestion of infected vectors 6. During the life cycle of T. cruzi the trypomastigotes present in the heces of the triatomines are introduced in the mammalian host by contamination of the insect bite or mucosal membranes. The metacyclic form can penetrate a variety of phagocytic and nonphagocytic nucleated cells. Once inside the cells the parasite becomes in amastigote, which are multiplicative forms that divide into cells. Due to the high parasitic load they produce the lysis of the cells and escapes into the cytoplasm. The amastigotes transform to slender trypomastigotes which can invade adjacent cells, this forms can be ingested by triatomines and they transform into epimastigotes Finally, after migration to the bug's hindgut, the epimastigotes differentiate into infectious metacyclic trypomastigotes, in this way the life cycle of this microorganism is completed.

Strawberry powdery mildew, caused by Podosphaeraaphanis is a major fungal disease that affects strawberry yield and quality. In the model plant species Arabidopsis and the crop plants barley, tomato and pea, the Mildew resistance locus O (MLO) proteins have been found to be required for powdery mildew susceptibility. The present study, based on the sequence of a wild plum (Prunus americana) MLO protein, identified 16 MLO genes within the genome of woodland strawberry, Fragaria vesca and examined their expression pattern in response to powdery mildew infection in three diploid strawberry cultivars. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the FvMLO genes can be classified into six clades. Four FvMLO genes were grouped into clade III, which comprises MLO genes from Arabidopsis, tomato and grapevine that mediate powdery mildew susceptibility. A RNA-seq analysis of two diploid strawberry cultivars, F. vescassp. vesca accession Hawaii 4 (HW) and F. vesca f. semperflorens line “Yellow Wonder 5AF7” (YW) at 1 d (1 DAI) and 8 d (8 DAI) after infection showed the expression of 12 out of the 16 FvMLO genes. The comparison of Fragments Per Kilobase of transcript per Million mapped reads (FPKM values) detected by RNA-seq and expression values of qRT-PCR for FvMLO genes showed substantial agreement. The FvMLO3 gene, which was grouped in clade III and orthologous to the Arabidopsis,tomato and grapevine genes, was highly expressed in YW compared to other FvMLO genes across varieties. The results showed that FvMLO genes can be used as potential candidates to engineer powdery mildew resistance in strawberry based on MLO suppression or genome editing.
Where the Sidewalk Ends: Automobility and Shame in Tbilisi, Georgia
Authors: Sherouse Perry Maxfield Waldman
Published: August 2018

In recent years, cars have steadily colonized the sidewalks in downtown Tbilisi. By driving and parking on sidewalks, vehicles have reshaped public space and placed pedestrian life at risk. A variety of social actors coordinate sidewalk affairs in the city, including the local government, a private company called CT Park, and a fleet of self-appointed st’aianshik’ebi (parking attendants) who direct drivers into parking spots for spare change. Pedestrian activists have challenged the automotive conquest of footpaths in innovative ways, including art installations, social media protests, and the fashioning of ad hoc physical barriers. By safeguarding sidewalks against cars, activists assert ideals for public space that are predicated on sharp boundaries between sidewalk and street, pedestrian and machine, citizen and commodity. Politicians and activists alike connect the sharpness of such boundaries to an imagined Europe. Georgia’s parking culture thus reflects not only local configurations of power among the many interests clamoring for the space of the sidewalk, but also global hierarchies of value that form meaningful distinctions and aspirational horizons in debates over urban public space. Against the dismal frictions of an expanding car system, social actors mobilize the idioms of freedom and shame to reinterpret and repartition the public/private distinction.

SLC23A3 is one of the key genes which control the properties of the of fatty acids content in the meat. The aim of this study was to identify the association of SNP and mRNA expression of SLC23A3 as a candidate marker for fatty acid traits (FAs). Sixty two F2 Kampung × Broilers crossbred chickens population were used in this study. FA composition was measured at 12 weeks of age from thigh meat of crossbred chicken. The PCR-RFLP and qRT-PCR were used for association study and expression analysis of SLC23A3 gene with divergent fatty acid composition. A SNP in coding region c.22385690 A>C of the SLC23A3 gene was associated (P<0.05) with fatty acid composition including stearic acid (C18:0), elaidic acid (C18:1n9t), and linoleic acid (C18:2n6c). The SLC23A3 was detected in liver from high fatty acids (HFA) and low fatty acid (LFA) composition. However, gene expression of SLC23A3 were not differentially expressed between HFA and LFA. These results will explain better understanding of the key important role of the SLC23A3 in fatty acid traits within the liver and will propose SLC23A3 as a potential genomic selection for selection of chickens with fatty acid composition.

Gene markers are often usefull for selection process of cattle on commercial certain phenotypes. Saanen goat has predominance in milk production traits. Milk fat content is one of the commercial traits of milk production. Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase1 (DGAT1) gene was involved in the final process of triglyceride synthesis and associated with milk fat content. Single nucleotide subtitution or insertion-deletion in certain sequence of DGAT1 gene could be gene markers for milk fat content. The objective of this study was to identify differences variation in milk fat content among individual Saanen goats, to identify exon 14-16 polymorphism of DGAT1 gene and to examine its correlation between polymorphism and milk fat content on Saanen goats. The methodologies was collection blood and milk samples, DNA isolation from blood, amplification of DGAT1 genes, sequencing, detection of polymorphism of exon 14-16 DGAT1 gene with Polymerase Chain Reaction-Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (PCR-SSCP), and examination milk quality on three lactation months using Lactoscan. The average of daily milk production from 70 Saanen goat was 2340±709 mL, 1880±632 mL, 1432±536 mL and average of milk fat content was 3.07±0.52%, 2.53±0.55%, 3.00±0.55% for the first, second and third months of lactation, respectively. The amplicon size of exon 14-16 of DGAT1 gene was ± 350 bp and showed monomorphic pattern from PCR-SSCP. Variation of milk fat content on Saanen goats not caused by polymorphism of exon 14-16 DGAT1 gene.

The purpose of this research was to investigate texture, hedonic test and fatty acids profile of goat cheese stored at cold and frozen temperatures for 60 days. Cheese was manufactured from goat milk with addition of probiotics bacteria L.plantarum TW14 and L.rhamnosusTW2 with a ratio of (1:1/v/v). Treatments were arranged in a factorial design, employing two factors, i.e. temperature (cold; frozen) and storage time (0; 15,30,45 and 60 days). Each treatment was repeated three times. Results showed that goat cheese stored at cold temperature has an average hardness-texture of 374.46 ±77.69 gf while that of the cheese stored at frozen temperature has 221.66 ±38.46 gf, which were significantly different (P<0.05). In term of flavor, texture and overall acceptability, there were no significant effects (P>0.05) of storage temperatures and storage time. However, the taste of cheese stored under cold and frozen temperatures was highly significant different (P<0.01). Fatty acids composition of cheese stored for 60 days in a cold storage showed that the highest fatty acid content was SFA which was 64.34% and USFA was 16.76%. During the 60-day storage, the SFA percentage of was relatively stable while the percentage of oleic acid USFA increased.

The aim of this study was to analyze the mineral composition of milk, the amino acid composition of milk protein, and the productivity per 305 days of lactation in crossbred cows compared to pure-breed local Ukrainian analogues. The research was conducted at cows of the Ukrainian Black-Spotted (UBS) dairy breed and crossbred cows of the first-generation obtained as a result of crossing with Brown Swiss breed and at cows of the Ukrainian Red-Spotted (URS) dairy breed and crossbred cows of the first-generation obtained by crossing of the URS dairy breed with Montbeliarde breed. In both farms there were two groups of pure-breed and crossbred cows-analogues. The mineral composition of milk and its technological properties in crossbred cows were higher compared to the pure-breed analogues. The fat content of milk crossbred cows exceeded by 0.08-0.16%, protein exceeded by 0.15-0.22%, and the main trace elements include Ca and P – by 2.66-8.83 and 2.12-7.81 mg/100 g of milk, respectively. Milk protein of crossbred cows was marked by a more balanced composition of essential amino acids (EAAs) and their ratio suitable for processing. The amount of EAAs in 100 g of milk protein of crossbred cows was 3.11-6.25% higher compared to local analogues. Crossbred cows dominated pure-breed analogues by the mineral composition of milk. The authors recommend the use of Montbeliarde or Brown Swiss breeds in commercial herds to improve the technological properties of milk.

Published: August 2018

The process of pre-extraction is an important stage in the process of collagen synthesis. This stage increases the sensitivity of collagen molecule chains that can affect production yields and collagen properties. The objectives of the study were to synthesize and evaluate halal collagen from Bali cattle’s hide on different -extracting processes. A total of 5 treatments applied in this study, namely: T1 = Ca(OH)2 5% (b/v) ; T2= Ca(OH)2 15% (b/v) ; T3= Ca(OH)2 5% + CH3COOH 5%(b/v) ; T4= Ca(OH)2 15% + CH3COOH 5% (b/v). Each treatment was repeated 4 times. Data were analyzed in a variety of ways using SPSS program. The observed parameters consisted of: 1) yield, 2) viscosity and 3) pH. The results showed that the difference in real pre-extracting process increased the yield and viscosity, but not the pH value. The application of T4 treatment provided the best results compared to other treatments as well as controls to increase the yield and also improve the collagen's physical properties and pH.

L’Iliadeet l’Odyssée, un matériau fertile pour la pensée philosophique : le bon usage d’Homère dans l’Hippias Mineur
Authors: Jouët-Pastré Emmanuelle
Published: August 2018

InHippias Minor, Plato does not merely condemn Homer as a reference in ethical matters. He opposes two uses of poetry when it comes to referring to and giving meaning to it: poetry as a source of knowledge admitted and frozen by tradition, ethically normative, and poetry as a source of philosophical questions, conducive to ethical reflection. The debate shows that Socrates’ view of Homer, as well as his Homeric point of view, allow us to ask good and often paradoxical questions about the link between truth, falsity, knowledge and calculation, which are essential for those who want to build solid ethics. The dialogue then shows how the philosopher enriches the meaning of the Homeric text.
