Authors: Pham Phu Xuan , Nguyen De Ngoc
Published: May 2019

This research was carried out to systematize and assess the appropriateness of farmer’s indigenous knowledge and their ability adapt with the flood in An Giang province, results of the research will provide a scientific foundation for proposing solutions to conserve and enhance the use of indigenous knowledge in reducing the vulnerability of people living in flooded areas. The results showed that local people used several effective indigenous knowledges for adapting with floods. However, the valuable indigenous knowledge has not been recorded yet, nor documented in written materials for sharing to young generations and communities; some indigenous practices are not suitable with the current requirement for flood adapation strategies. Research results showed that (LVI) of diffirent Zone (upper zone, middle zone, lower zone) are decreasingly dependent on major components of social networks, knowledge and skills, natural resources, finance and incomes, livelihood strategies, natural disater and climate variability. In which, (LVI: 0.390) of Phu Huu commune in An Phu district which locates in the upper zone is higher than LVI of two communes located in the lower part of the river. These communes are Vinh An commune (LVI: 0.287), Chau Thanh district (middle zone) and Vinh Phuoc commune (LVI: 0.331), Tri Ton district (lower zone) and adaptive capacity of Phu Huu commune (0.399) is also higher than Vinh An (0.299) and Vinh Phuoc (0.337). It reflects the direct proportion between LVI and adaptive capacity. The research also suggests some solutions to conserve the valuable indigenous knowledge in adapting to climate change of local people.

Arqueología amazónica en el Ecuador
Authors: Cabrero Ferrán
Published: May 2019

Después de una primera etapa donde prevalecieron relatos conservadores en cuanto a la capacidad de sustentación del medio amazónico, desde finales de los años ochenta y sobre todo desde los noventa en adelante se dan nuevas investigaciones arqueológicas que muestran mayor antigüedad, población, y complejidad social en la zona. En Ecuador, estas características se encuentran sobretodo en la Alta Amazonia, donde se ha descubierto estructuras monumentales, el origen de  la domesticación de cultivos como el cacao, objetos de distinción como los “tumis”, y evidencias de redes tempranas de intercambio de bienes físicos y simbólicos con la Sierra y la Costa. Sin embargo, subsisten interrogantes y problemáticas como la difusión de la cerámica panzaleo/Cosanga-Píllaro, del estilo Corrugado, y la variedad de la Fase Pastaza, sin obviar la expansión de la Tradición Polícroma Amazónica, y el cambio radical en el patrón de asentamiento en tierra firme desde aproximadamente el año 1000 d.C. En este artículo se hace una revisión bibliográfica y síntesis crítica de la arqueología amazónica en Ecuador desde su eclosión hasta la actualidad. Como principales conclusiones, para tener una imagen más clara del pasado amazónico del país se precisa más investigación, enlazar los dilemas nacionales con los regionales, como el de los cacicazgos amazónicos, y profundizar en la explicación del cambio social; lo que en gran parte remite a las debilidades estructurales de la arqueología en el país.

Authors: Montenegro Arellano Guillermo Fausto , Mora Quilismal Segundo Ramiro
Published: May 2019

El diagnóstico actualizado del sector y una visión estratégica, que aproveche las ventajas comparativas y competitivas de los diferentes segmentos del sector es de fundamental importancia para planear su desarrollo. Entre las prácticas tradicionales de producción del cultivo de papa como; el monocultivo, acompañado por el uso inadecuado de plaguicidas y fertilizantes de origen químico, el uso intensivo de maquinaria e implementos para la remoción de la capa arable especialmente en zonas de ladera, la intervención de áreas destinadas a la conservación y preservación de flora, fauna y recursos naturales, la contaminación de fuentes hídricas corrientes y estancadas con productos y envases de plaguicidas, generan impactos negativos sobre los ecosistemas que se reflejan en degradación de los recursos suelo y agua, con alteraciones en la biodiversidad. La superficie del cultivo está relacionada con el precio de la papa en los ciclos anteriores cuando los precios son altos se incrementa la superficie cultivada, Así mismo, está influenciado por las variaciones en los precios de los insumos. La mayor parte de la investigación en el país se ha concentrado en el componente agronómico en búsqueda de nuevas variedades de papa con tolerancia a Phytophtora infestans y el desarrollo de proyectos dirigidos a solucionar problemas de plagas y enfermedades que afectan el cultivo, en particular sobre Premnotrypes vorax, Tecia solanivora, Rhizoctonia solani y Spongospora subterránea. En menor escala se tienen resultados en fisiología del cultivo, postcosecha y manejo de suelos. La comercialización del producto casi en su totalidad es realizada por intermediarios por lo cual se deben afianzar procesos de Asociatividad para mejorar esta actividad.
De un impacto ambiental local a un impacto económico global y su incidencia en el ecuador
Authors: Álvarez Monsalve Mauricio , Benavides Rosales Hernán
Published: May 2019

El hecho económico más relevante de los últimos meses del año 2015, a nivel mundial, se produjo en el mes de octubre con la pérdida de valor de las acciones del grupo Volkswagen fabricante de vehículos de esa misma marca y de otras diez muy prestigiosas y posicionadas.  Esa pérdida que en un momento casi fue del 50% con respecto a su valor de inicio de ese mismo año, añadido a la potencial multa que le puede imponer la justicia de los Estados Unidos en el juicio que le instauró la federal Agencia protección del Ambiente -US EPA-, puede llegar a cifras superiores inclusive a las economías del año de países enteros como Uruguay o Guatemala, o de la suma de las economías de los 37 países más pobres del planeta cuyos datos son procesados por las Naciones Unidas.  El hecho generador de esta descomunal pérdida fue un impacto ambiental local, detectado en el estado de California, que tiene que ver con las emisiones gaseosas de ciertos modelos de esos vehículos que estaban con permisos de circulación anti-contaminación aprobados y de cómo pasaron esos análisis de verificación.  Para determinar si tuvo incidencia ambiental en el Ecuador, metodológicamente se optó por una investigación bibliográfica para la recolección de datos y dado su posterior análisis se puede afirmar que prácticamente pasó desapercibida debido a la anticuada legislación ambiental sobre emisiones que está en vigencia desde el año 2002, a la falta de homologación de esos parámetros técnicos y a su inapropiada aplicación a nivel cantonal.

Authors: Torres Mayanquer Freddy Giovanny , Pulgar Oleas Nelly Lorena
Published: May 2019

El objetivo de esta Tesis fue extraer pigmento del mortiño y evaluar su estabilidad como colorante en la industria alimentaria. Aplicamos extracción sólido-líquido, se empleó como solvente etanol a 96° con una concentración de ácido cítrico en relación peso / volumen del 0.03%. Obtenido el pigmento estudiamos su estabilidad a la influencia de temperatura (4, 14, 68ºC), pH (4, 5, 6), ambientes de almacenamiento (luz, oscuridad), esto durante cuatro semanas. De la evaluación determinamos que las variables influenciaron significativamente al pigmento, la degradación de las antocianinas aumentó con el incremento de temperatura, manteniéndose estable a bajas temperaturas, respecto al pH, el efecto fue contrario, a menor pH, es más estable y a pH superior se decolora, la exposición a la luz afecta la estabilidad, siendo más estable a condiciones de oscuridad. Ante esto y con el fin de utilizarlo como colorante para la industria alimentaria, debemos considerar su aplicación en alimentos procesados que mantienen condiciones óptimas de estabilidad, para que la degradación de estos pigmentos sea lo más baja posible; pH ácidos, temperaturas bajas de almacenamiento y protegidos de la luz.

REDUPLICATION PATTERNS IN THE UTTERANCE OF MANDURO SOCIETY
Authors: Kristanti Ika Lusi , Mayasari Diana
Published: May 2019

Reduplication is usually used by society in daily communication. Principally, reduplication relates with word formation. In reduplication, we need to consider the base of the word, the change of phoneme, and the use of affixation. For example: the base word of “rumah” becomes “rumah-rumah”. “Rumah-rumah” means many houses. It can called reduplication, but it does not change the phoneme and does not use affix. This phenomenon occurs in the utterance of Manduro society. Thus, researchers conduct the research in reduplication pattern in the utterance of Manduro society. Descriptive qualitative research is a research type choosen by the researchers. In this case, the researchers use purposive sampling technique in determining the sample of the research. In collecting the data, the researchers use interview, recording, observation, and Swadesh Morris questionnaire to obtain the vocabulary. Meanwhile, data analysis technique used by researchers is inductive analysis with data classification: the use of padan and agih methods, reduction, the scope of theory, and conclusion. Based on the result of the research, there are some reduplication patterns in the utterance of manduro society, such as: full reduplication and partial reduplication

Published: May 2019

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to identify the prominent athletic donor motives in an NCAA Division II athletic program, employing the scale of Athletic Donor Motivation (Ko, Rhee, Walker, & Lee, 2014), and to assess the impact of the identified motives on giving behavior. A total of two hundred and thirty two actual donors housed in an NCAA Division II university were used for analysis. To test the psychometric properties of the measurement and examine the relationship between donation motives and actual donation behavior, a confirmatory factor analysis and a structural equation modeling were employed, respectively. Results of this study indicated that vicarious achievement, philanthropy, commitment, and power are the four primary motivational factors, while tangible benefits, which was consistently found as an important motive in prior studies was found low. Such findings highlight key differences and suggest different salient motivations exist requiring particular attention in NCAA Division II context.

María Victoria Moreno e a poesía para a infancia
Authors: García Teijeiro Antonio
Published: May 2019

Este artigo analiza criticamente as características principais da poesía infantil de María Victoria Moreno (1939-2005), concentrándose fundamentalmente nos dous poemarios que a poeta dedicou á rapazada: ¿E haberá tirón de orellas? (1997) e Eu conto... ti cantas (2005). A proposta poética de Moreno nestes dous libros é marcadamente narrativa e está chea de musicalidade e xogos verbais, ademais de tratar temas como o amor e o respecto polos animais, a natureza como lugar de vida ou a propia creación literaria. Xunto a isto, o autor debuxa tamén un retrato máis íntimo de Moreno e da súa visión da poesía infantil baseado na relación profesional e de amizade que mantivo coa poeta durante anos.

Morte e transcendencia en María Victoria Moreno
Authors: Torres Queiruga Andrés
Published: May 2019

Partindo da morte como tabú cultural, o artigo estudia do diario de María Victoria Moreno, analizando o limpo enfrontamento co seu misterio. Atenta á dimensión antropolóxica a través de García-Sabell, entra con sensibilidade na visión relixiosa da resurrección, atenta tanto aos exemplos da fe sinxela como aos de crentes excepcionais. Parece resignarse ao consolo humilde e familiar na memoria dos seres queridos. Valorando esa humanísima actitude, o artigo acaba cunhas consideracións integradoras de carácter filosófico e teolóxico.
Transcrición das cartas e composiciois autógrafas de Antonio Fernández Morales a Mariano Cubí: un legado berciano inaugural do Rexurdimento
Authors: Silveiro Fernández Héctor M.
Published: May 2019

Esta transcrición, acompañada dun breve comentario, forma parte do proceso de recuperación e difusión dunha correspondencia dos anos 1847e 1848 do autor Antonio Fernández Morales −iniciado con motivo do seu bicentenario− que pretende destacar o valor dos seus contidos para a literatura galega contemporánea, especialmente para os estudos sobre o Rexurdimento. Efectivamente estas cartas, dirixidas ao filólogo catalán Mariano Cubí e Soler, adquiren unha forte compoñente literaria e permítennos de xeito sorprendente observar en detalle o proceso de creación dos Ensayos poéticos en dialecto berciano (1861), e a singular participación do Bierzo nun movemento literario que non se prodiga en textos deste tipo nos seus primeiros momentos. Estas cartas, as composiciois poéticas e anotaciois que inclúen conforman, pois, un legado inaugural de importancia excepcional para un estudo integral de dito movemento, tendo en conta que ata o 2017 permanecía inédito e era descoñecido. A transcrición que se presenta, xunto ao breve limiar que se axunta, son o paso previo para unha investigación de maior envergadura que contribúa a unha plena e xusta incorporación do galego do Bierzo á Historia da lingua e da literatura galegas.

Generating Captain Cook and Paul Kane into Published Authors: Case Studies of a Book History Model for Exploration and Travel Writing (pp 7-56)
Authors: MacLaren Ian
Published: May 2019

As more and more research occurs into published English-language travel literature, the production of individual texts, rather than their authorship alone, demands attention. Both the unreliability of the text as entirely the traveller's or explorer's own and the question of whether or not the text narrates only his own experience and observations have made problematical the matter of interpretation. Recently, Percy G. Adams has shown in Travel Literature and the Evolution of the Novel (1983) how, because travel writing issued often enough from writers who did no more than move around in an armchair, this genre and the novel grew indistinguishable for a time in the early eighteenth century. From then on, travel literature would often exemplify a more complex, or at least less straightforward, relation between experience and language than one might expect.
Al Purdy, Marius Barbeau, and the Northwest Coast: A Bibliographical Note on a Forgotten Manuscript
Authors: Bradley Nicholas
Published: May 2019

The numerous books of the poet Al Purdy (1918–2000) are well known to readers of modern Canadian literature. His extensive archives conceal many unnoticed works, however, and the true extent of his literary career can only be seen when the unpublished writing is brought into view. A manuscript from the early 1960s – “Yehl the Raven and Other Creation Myths of the Haida” – illustrates the importance of the archives to studies of his life and works. The obscure sequence of poems demonstrates Purdy’s ethnographic interests and represents a point of contact between modern Canadian literature and mid-century anthropology. It also shows Purdy to have been engaged, for a time, in a manner of writing that was largely distinct from the autobiographical, anecdotal mode that typifies the poetry on which his reputation rests. He wrote his “Creation Myths” by adapting narratives found in the studies of Marius Barbeau (1883–1969), the Canadian folklorist and ethnographer. He attempted to publish the resultant poems as a short book, but “Yehl the Raven” never appeared in print, and although the manuscript has not been utterly invisible to Purdy’s colleagues and critics, it has been mischaracterized, unappreciated, and essentially overlooked. Nor have its origins and virtual disappearance yet been explained. This brief essay consequently examines the manuscript and suggests why it merits critical attention.

1708 year in the Belarus: an comparative analysis of the three biggest battles blind spots
Authors: Slisarenko O. N.
Published: May 2019

The article is devoted to one of the key moments of the Great Northern war – the campaign of the Swedish king Charles XII to Moscow. The historians of this campaign until now has not come to a consensus about what caused the sudden turn of the Swedish army to the South with a main route to Moscow. In the article on the basis of the analysis of historiographical achievements of recent years, a comparative analysis of military operations that took place on the territory of Belarus in the summer – autumn of 1708. In this period there were three major battles at the crossings of important water boundaries: when Golovchino, Maletichy and Lesnaja. All of them had different outcomes, so it is interesting to analyze in detail the features of these battles. The author believes that the Russian army managed to combine the impact on the Swedish army of different kind of troops: guards infantry, horse dragoon regiments and irregular cavalry (cossacks, kalmyks and tatars). The Russian army tried to weaken the enemy forces by creating difficulties in supply. The main motive for turning to the South of Charles XII was the loss of a military convoy, accompanied by a corps Lewenhaupt. The degree of reliability of the sources covering the events of the Great Northern war on the territory of Belarus in 1708 is analyzed. Based on the method of comparative analysis of sources, the author attempts to restore the real picture of the events. The conclusion is made about deliberate distortion of facts in the official Russian historiography in order to create a positive image of Tsar Peter I and his associates both in the international arena and within the country. The stability of this tradition for a long time is revealed.
The monthly magazine «Praca Kobiet» about the activities of organizations related to the Women’s International Democratic Federation (March – December 1946)
Authors: Miodowski Adam
Published: May 2019

The research on women’s history presented in this publication supplements the gap existing in polish historiography. The gap includes not only knowledge about the activities of women's organizations associated in the Women’s International Democratic Federation (including the polish Social-Civic League of Women). The same applies to the assessment of the role of women in political, social and cultural changes taking place in Poland (and in the world) in the first years after the end of World War II. The main purpose of this publication is to show the historical conditions of the activities of the Social-Civic League of Women, as well as similar organizations in other European, African and North American countries. The basic source used in the research process is the monthly «Praca Kobiet» (and additionally the periodical «Nasza Praca»). The work uses a methodology typical for studies based on press sources. Their list includes the following methods: analytical-empirical, deductive-nomological, deductive-hypothetical and classical method of content analysis. The effect of the undertaken research is to establish that the information articles on the activities of organizations associated in the Women’s International Democratic Federation published on the pages of the «Praca Kobiet» monthly were in fact agitation and propaganda. The polish feminist press manipulated facts and thus influenced the formation of pro-communist and anti-Western views of women. The topic is not exhausted and needs to be continued. Further research will require a wider use of press sources not only from Poland, but also from other countries.

ABSTRACTConcordance is the software that facilitates an unlimited data recognizing the frequency and collocation. It can be used for learning and teaching. This study is qualitative and aimed to know the contribution of corpus tool in teaching CDA and the studentsâ€™ responses through the use of corpus tool, named concordance software, in one of the University. The method in this research is qualitative descriptive with the content analysis. Thus, I employed the frequency and collocation in order to get its sociocognitive contained into three levels of analysis: microstructure, superstructure, and macrostructure couched within critical discourse analysis framework of Van Dijk (2008) through 2 articles taken from different newspaper that has been collected into concordance software. The data can be represented to be mediator in learning and teaching CDA in the class to find out the ideology through frequency and collocation. The findings reveal that concordance has the contribution to the learning and teaching especially in linguistic course. It is questioningly proven by the studentsâ€™ responses that the students seemingly motivate and enthuse to learn CDA through corpus linguistics. Concordance is effective and can help the teacher in their teaching.
EFL Teachersâ€™ Perspectives on Learner Autonomy
Authors: Yuzulia Irza , Yusuf Fazri Nur

Teachers have a central role in fostering learner autonomy and their views regarding LA are essential. They should maintain the learning environment and activities to support LA. This research aimed to find out teachersâ€™ attitudes towards their roles and learning practices to support LA. A questionnaire was administered to 19 teachers who are studying for a Masters degree at UPI. It is found that teachers rated their responsibilities in choosing classroom activities and evaluating studentsâ€™ progress at the highest point. However, they viewed studentsâ€™ decision making abilities in choosing learning objectives and evaluating their learning at the lowest score. Furthermore, the activities which teachers often recommended to are listen to English songs, read books and use the internet. It can be concluded that teachers have a strong belief towards their roles in LA. Even though they are already conscious about the importance of LA, it should be implemented into practice.
Herkesin Aynı Anda Yenilik Yapması, Herkesi Aynı Anda Kalkındırır mı? Terkip Yanılgısı Bağlamında Bir Analiz
Authors: DEMİR Ömer
Published: May 2019

Günümüzde; yenilik yapmak, ekonomi dâhil tüm alanlarda problemlerin giderilmesinde akla gelen
çözümlerin başında yer alır. Gelişmiş ülkeler de dâhil tüm ülkelerin gelecekteki rekabette başarılı olmalarının,
yenilik kapasiteleri tarafından belirleneceği ileri sürülmektedir. Bu yüzden gelişme yolundaki tüm ülkelere de
göreli olarak avantajlı oldukları alanlarda yenilik yapmaları tavsiye edilmektedir. Tek tek ülkelerin gelişme
hikâyelerinde yeniliğin önemli yer tutması, tüm ülkelere yenilik yapma tavsiyesini gayet meşru hale
getirmektedir. Ancak her ülkenin kendine özgü ve farklı başlangıç koşulları, yeniliğin ülke içi, bölgesel ve
küresel ölçekte taraflılığının olası sonuçları ile tek tek ülkeler için geçerli olabilecek olan bazı durumların tüm
ülkeler için aynı anda geçerli olup olmayacağı konularında belirsizlikler sözkonusudur. Bu makalede
belirsizlikler; başlangıç koşulları, yeniliğin yanlılığı ve terkip yanılgısı bağlamında tartışılmaktadır.
Family Law, Human Rights and Gender: An Examination of Turkish Comparative Rectitude
Authors: Özdemir Nadire
Published: May 2019

This article is an examination of Turkish jurisprudence of comparative rectitude in divorce cases, in terms of human rights and gender. I will focus on the cases in where one spouse (usually the wife) has been adulteress while the other spouse (usually the husband) has committed violence against his spouse. The decisions of the courts claiming the adulteress and violence perpetrator are equal at faults or sometimes violence perpetrator at a lesser fault will be criticized. Critics will be brought on 'fidelity' as a marital duty, which is a vague concept, and its sexist interpretation in legal disputes. Another legal framework in marital duties that does not shape moral or sexual behaviours of the spouses but avoids human rights abuses will be proposed as concluding thoughts.
Osmanlı Kadınının Apolitikleştirilme Gerekçeleri
Authors: Özçelik Şeyda
Published: May 2019

Geleneksel ataerkil toplumlarda siyasetin rotası çoğunlukla erkekler tarafından çizilmiştir. Beylikten devlete geçiş süreciyle birlikte Osmanlı Devleti’nde de siyaset yapma görevi erkeğe ait olmuştur. Osmanlı tarihine yönelik çözümlemelerde ve görüş bildirilerinde kadın ve siyaset kavramları; harem, entrika, akıl ermeme, kötü gidişat gibi sözcüklerle özdeşleştirilerek, kadının apolitikleştirilmesi gerekçelendirilmiştir. Devletin klasik döneminde şer’î ve örfî kurallar ekseninde biçimlendirilmiş kadının siyasetle ilgilenme alanı siyasi evlilikler ve harem kanalıyla olmuştur. XIX. yüzyılda feminizm ile tanışan az sayıdaki Osmanlı kadını siyaseti zaman zaman toplumsal cinsiyet bağlamında sorgulayıp, katılımcı olmak istemiş zaman zaman da siyasetin kadına uygun olmayacağını belirterek arasına set çekmiştir. Bu noktada Osmanlı basınında dönem yazarları tarafından feminizm tartışmaları yaşanmış ve düşün dünyası tarafından ‘İslam (Müslüman) Feminizmi’ teorisi ortaya atılmıştır. Osmanlı kadını ve düşün dünyası dünyada ivme kazanan feminizmi bu pencereden tanımlamaya ve açıklamaya başlamıştır.Bu çalışmada feminist basamaklarla beraber dönem kadının siyasi dünyaya katılma/katılmama fikri değerlendirilmiş, biyolojik ya da fiziksel gerekçelerle yarımlaştırılan ve siyasi katılımdan yoksun bırakılan Osmanlı kadınının feminizme bakışı irdelenmiştir. Ayrıca Osmanlı kadınının siyasi sahasını belirleyen ve sınırlayan etmenler (aile, din, millet ve modernite vb.) çerçevesinde dönem kadınının siyasileşememesinin ayrıntıları incelenerek, kadının siyasal yaşam limitleri belirlenmiştir.

The objective of this study was to assess the impacts of nitrogen on the physiological characteristics of the source–sink system of upper fruiting branches under various amounts of nitrogen fertilization. A two-year field experiment was conducted with a Bt cotton cultivar in the Yellow River Basin of China. The growth and yield of cotton of the upper fruiting branches were compared under four nitrogen levels: Control (N0, 0 kg ha−1), low nitrogen (N1, 120 kg ha−1), moderate nitrogen (N2, 240 kg ha−1), and high nitrogen (N3, 480 kg ha−1). The results indicated that in the subtending leaves in upper fruiting branches, chlorophyll content, protein content, and peroxidase (POD) activity dramatically increased with nitrogen application, reaching the highest under the moderate nitrogen treatment. The physiological characters in the seeds had the same trends as in the subtending leaves. Furthermore, the moderate nitrogen rate (240 kg ha−1) had a favorable yield and quality. Our results supported that a moderate nitrogen rate (240 kg ha−1) could coordinate the source–sink growth of cotton in the late stage, enhance the yield and fiber quality, and decrease the cost of fertilizer in the Yellow River Basin of China and other similar ecological areas.

Body condition scoring (BCS) is the management practice of assessing body reserves of individual animals by visual or tactile estimation of subcutaneous fat and muscle. Both high and low BCS can negatively impact milk production, disease, and reproduction. Visual or tactile estimation of subcutaneous fat reserves in dairy cattle relies on their body shape or thickness of fat layers and muscle on key areas of the body. Although manual BCS has proven beneficial, consistent qualitative scoring can be difficult to implement. The desirable BCS range for dairy cows varies within lactation and should be monitored at multiple time points throughout lactation for the most impact, a practice that can be hard to implement. However, a commercial automatic BCS camera is currently available for dairy cattle (DeLaval Body Condition Scoring, BCS DeLaval International AB, Tumba, Sweden). The objective of this study was to validate the implementation of an automated BCS system in a commercial setting and compare agreement of the automated body condition scores with conventional manual scoring. The study was conducted on a commercial farm in Indiana, USA, in April 2017. Three trained staff members scored 343 cows manually using a 1 to 5 BCS scale, with 0.25 increments. Pearson’s correlations (0.85, scorer 1 vs. 2; 0.87, scorer 2 vs. 3; and 0.86, scorer 1 vs. 3) and Cohen’s Kappa coefficients (0.62, scorer 1 vs. 2; 0.66, scorer 2 vs. 3; and 0.66, scorer 1 vs. 3) were calculated to assess interobserver reliability, with the correlations being 0.85, 0.87, and 0.86. The automated camera BCS scores were compared with the averaged manual scores. The mean BCS were 3.39 ± 0.32 and 3.27 ± 0.27 (mean ± SD) for manual and automatic camera scores, respectively. We found that the automated body condition scoring technology was strongly correlated with the manual scores, with a correlation of 0.78. The automated BCS camera system accuracy was equivalent to manual scoring, with a mean error of −0.1 BCS and within the acceptable manual error threshold of 0.25 BCS between BCS (3.00 to 3.75) but was less accurate for cows with high (>3.75) or low (<3.00) BCS scores compared to manual scorers. A Bland–Altman plot was constructed which demonstrated a bias in the high and low automated BCS scoring. The initial findings show that the BCS camera system provides accurate BCS between 3.00 to 3.75 but tends to be inaccurate at determining the magnitude of low and high BCS scores. However, the results are promising, as an automated system may encourage more producers to adopt BCS into their practices to detect early signs of BCS change for individual cattle. Future algorithm and software development is likely to increase the accuracy in automated BCS scoring.

Vascular endothelium plays a key role in regulating cardiovascular homeostasis by controlling the vascular tone. Variations in sex hormones during the reproductive cycle of females affect the homeostasis of the cardiovascular system. Also, the evidence shows that estrogens show a cardioprotective effect. On this basis, this study describes some vascular responses induced by vasoactive substances during the estrous cycle in rats. We obtained the information available on this topic from the online databases that included scientific articles published in the Web of Science, PubMed, and Scielo. Many investigations have evaluated the vasoactive response of substances such as acetylcholine and norepinephrine during the estrous cycle. In this review, we specifically described the vascular response to vasoactive substances in rats during the estrous cycle, pregnancy, and in ovariectomized rats. In addition, we discussed the existence of different signaling pathways that modulate vascular function. The knowledge of these effects is relevant for the optimization and development of new treatments for some vascular pathologies.
