Mongolians have specific, historical traditions of nomadic ways for pastoral animal breeding. Since ancient times they are bred the five kinds of livestock with unique capabilities, adapted to four seasons grazing under harsh natural and climatic conditions of Central Asian mountainous and used their benefits. Unique biological quality of Mongolian livestock that helps the animal withstand the cold and feed shortage seasons in despite of feeding pasture plants only for all year round is an evidence of its pasture usability. Better growth of hair and wool of hardy Mongolian livestock, which are able to grow under severe natural and climatic conditions, during summer and autumn, and fibers appeared around the hair base during cold season make the animals resistant to cold. Mongolian livestock are the animals, which withstand very well the fluctuations of both heat and cold, have better maintenance of body heat and ecological adaptation, stronger body conformation, resist various diseases, and have alive behavior, better sociability and genetic capacity. Livestock in Mongolia are considered to be part of the nation’s wealth and are subject to state protection under the country’s constitution. Agriculture, particularly animal husbandry is one of the basic economic sectors of Mongolia and the sector comprises 84.2% of the country’s Gross Agricultural Product and is the only source of income for 18.5% of total households (Mongolian Statistical Yearbook, 2016). In addition, livestock and livestock-derived processed exports account for about 8.7% of foreign exchange earnings. In 2020, Mongolia has recorded the highest number of livestock at 67.1 million, of which 4.1 million are horses, 4.7 million are cattle, 0.47 million are camels, 30.0 million are sheep and 27.7 million are goats. The action plan of the Mongolian government, set a goal “In addition to increasing the number of high-yielding livestock, implementing a policy to support rural development by creating an appropriate herd structure, improving productivity and quality, and developing intensive animal husbandry, and raising highly productive livestock and milk, to protect the gene found of good beef cattle and to expand the breeding and selection of nuclear herds”. Therefore, important to protect the high-productive yak's gene found are to take semen from yak bull. The yak is bred in Mongolia, Tibet, Nepal, Kyrgyzstan, the Gorno-Altai region of the Russian Federation, the Himalayas, the Altai, and the Pamirs, and in the surrounding mountainous areas at an altitude of about 2,000 meters above sea level.

Успех селекционной работы картофеля зависит от ряда внешних факторов, влияющих на качество работы, включая своевременность, погодные условия среды, уход за посевом. Важно знать время и интенсивность цветения отдельных сортов и селекционных образцов, особенности их развития и др. Селекционная работа по выведению новых сортов картофеля, пригодных для условий Монголии, началась в 2014 г. Условия выращивания растений оказывают больше влияние на количество плодов и результаты гибридизации селекционных материалов. В теплице при относительной влажности воздуха ниже 60% и температуре +35°С оплодотворение снизилось на 10%. Неблагоприятный 2015 г. в результате массовой потери бутонов скрещивание прошло неблагополучно. За 2014-2018 гг. проводилось скрещивание на 3416 цветков с использованием 137 селекционных комбинаций, в результате чего образовались 903 плодов — успех оплодотворения был в среднем 26.4%. В 2016 г. проводилось скрещивание между 45 комбинациями, а в 2018 г. оплодотворение ввелось на 1125 цветках и образовался 371 штук плодов. В 2015 г. использовалось меньшее количество комбинаций в скрещивании. В 2016

Potato crossing success depends on external factors, including weather condition, growing practices and maintenance. In order to increase crossing success, breeders should be prior to know about flowering intensity and flowering duration of variety, fertility of pollen of male parents. According to our experiment results showed that both weather and green house condition influenced on potato hybridization greatly. When air humidity is lower than 60 percent, temperature is higher than + 35°С, breeding success was lower than 10 percent. In 2015, amount of emasculated flowers and combinations’ numbers were showed lowest value compared to other years and flower buds were dried and fell down due to hot weather condition. In order to develop superior potato variety in Mongolian agro ecological condition, hybridization method has been used in potato breeding program since 2014. During this time, we crossed 137 combinations and emasculated 3416 flowers. According to our hybridization result, 903 flowers set berries and crossing rate was 26.4 percent. Especially 2014 was very successful. This year crossing rate was 42.7 percent and 2016 was showed lowest 5.2 percent respectively.

Authors: Decelles Stéphane , Nardocci Milena , Mildon Alison , Salameh Bana , Batal Malek
Published: July 2022

Objective.

To identify the determinants of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) among children under 6 months of age from three regions in the South and Grand’Anse Departments of Haiti.

Methods.

Data were pooled from three cross-sectional surveys conducted yearly from 2017 to 2019 with the guardians of 638 children under 6 months of age. A non-quantitative 24-hour dietary recall was used to assess EBF the day before the survey. Using unadjusted and adjusted prevalence ratios, associations were assessed between EBF and several explanatory factors: infant’s age and sex; maternal age, educational attainment, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), dietary diversity, number of children under 5 years of age, responsibility for the main or secondary source of income of the household, initiation of breastfeeding within one hour, knowledge of EBF duration; household severe food insecurity, socioeconomic status, dependency ratio, region, and residential zone (urban/rural).

Results.

Prevalence of EBF was 68% in the study sample. From the fully adjusted model, prevalence of EBF was statistically significantly higher among younger infants, mothers with larger MUAC, who met or exceeded Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W), who initiated breastfeeding within one hour, who were knowledgeable of the recommendations for EBF duration, and living in the Jérémie region.

Conclusions.

The main determinants of EBF identified in this study attest to the importance of breastfeeding mothers’ access to nutritious food for the practice and maintenance of EBF and the need for geographically equitable access to health services and education that support breastfeeding.

Global Hearts is the flagship initiative of the World Health Organization to reduce the burden of cardiovascular diseases, the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. HEARTS in the Americas Initiative is the regional adaptation that envisions HEARTS as the model for cardiovascular disease risk management, including hypertension and diabetes, in primary health care in the Americas by 2025. This initiative is entering its sixth year of implementation and now includes 22 countries and 1 380 primary health care centers. The objectives of this report are three-fold. First, it describes the emergence and the main elements of HEARTS in the Americas. Secondly, it summarizes the main innovations developed to catalyze and sustain implementation of the initiative. These innovations include: a) introduction of hypertension control drivers; b) development of a comprehensive and practical clinical pathway; c) development of a strategy to improve the accuracy of blood pressure measurement; d) creation of a monitoring and evaluation platform; and e) development of a standardized set of training and education resources. Thirdly, this report discusses future priorities of the initiative. The goal of implementing these innovative and pragmatic solutions is to create a more effective health system and shift the focus of cardiovascular and hypertension programs from the highly specialized care level to primary health care. In addition, HEARTS in the Americas can serve as a model for more comprehensive, effective, and sustainable noncommunicable disease prevention and treatment practices.

Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT
Introduction: The level of obesity among the Samoan adult population has doubled since 1978 for both men and women and is a serious public health issue.
Aim: To determine the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) with regard to obesity among Samoan health professionals. 
Methods: Interview front-line health workers in ten rural and one urban health facility using a developed questionnaire and observation of clinical practice. The sample comprised 130 (68%) registered nurses, 45 (24%) enrolled nurses and 15 (8%) doctors.
Findings: Most participants were well informed about the relation between obesity and non-communicable disease and were aware of the prevalence of obesity and related health risks. Contradictory advise was often given to patients about the maintenance of a healthy body weight
Discussion: There is a need to educate health workers on evidence-based weight management pathways and to develop patient care plans so overweight and obese persons attending health service facilities are informed effectively on how to lose weight.
Understanding health workers’ views on addressing the ongoing unmet need for family planning in Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands
Authors: Kress Sahra , Narasia Jenny
Published: July 2022

Introduction: It is estimated that in the Pacific region the unmet need for family planning is among the highest in the world. This study supports access to family planning based on evidence that impacts of contraceptive use range from improved health to socioeconomic benefits and sustainable development. This study hears from health workers providing essential family planning care to women and their families in Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. This region was chosen for this study as it has a subnational disparity of highest unmet need for family planning in the Solomon Islands. The aim was to understand health workers’ perspectives on barriers to contraception in this region, and to hear their proposed solutions.

Methods: This mixed methods study was based on an exploratory descriptive research approach using a survey, which was distributed to health workers at rural and urban health centres in Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. Fifty-six surveys comprised of 32 questions, both open and closed-ended, were completed and analysed. This included three demographic questions.

Findings: Health workers identified multiple structural, social, and service-driven barriers to meeting the contraceptive needs of women in their communities. Structural barriers include gender inequity and religious influence. Social and service barriers that may be more amenable to influence include misinformation and fear about contraceptive side effects; contraceptive stigma; and access to contraceptive training and education for health workers. Health workers expressed eagerness to address the unmet need for contraception in their communities and are a resource that should be prioritised in programmes seeking to expand access to contraception in the Solomon Islands. Health workers are embedded in their communities and insightful about health service complexities in their settings. They identified solutions including increased access to education and training for Long-Acting Reversible Contraception; increased efforts in raising community awareness and ways of encouraging contraceptive acceptance; and a continued investment in enabling environments both for health workers, and women.

Conclusions: This study affirms health workers as a key resource in addressing the unmet need for contraception in Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, and calls for programme and policy solutions informed by their perspectives. The two main priorities they emphasised to help tackle the persistent problem of unmet need for contraception are an increase in their capability to provide contraceptive implants, and an increase in community education to boost acceptance of family planning care from women and their families.
Surgical site infection requiring hospitalisation unchanged with a prophylactic incisional negative pressure wound therapy guideline: an observational cohort study
Authors: Holford Sam , Arrol Sharon , Tout Sarah , Oyston Charlotte
Published: July 2022

Background: Despite numerous published prospective studies, evidence to support use of prophylactic incisional negative pressure wound therapy, for obstetric and gynaecologic surgery, is conflicting.

Aim:  To evaluate if wound-related presentations to hospital were reduced following introduction of a guideline promoting selective use of prophylactic incisional negative pressure wound therapy.

Methods: This was an observational cohort study. Electronic medical records were reviewed for all hospital presentations, within 30 days of primary surgery performed by laparotomy, where the responsible clinician was an obstetrician or gynaecologist. Rates of wound complications and costs associated with admission were compared pre- and post-guideline.

Results: Among all those who underwent caesarean birth (n = 2788) or gynaecologic laparotomy (n= 263), 5% presented to hospital with SSI, and 1% with non-infected wound problems. No significant reductions in SSI hospital presentations, length of stay, or readmission costs were observed post-implementation. Likewise, no improvements were observed for non-infected wound problems or a composite of SSI and non-infected wound problems.

Conclusions: This study does not support the selective approach used to direct prophylactic incisional negative pressure wound therapy. Further studies are required to better individualise risk assessment, and to determine if negative pressure wound therapy can reduce serious morbidity of SSI. When robust evidence is lacking, local outcomes should be evaluated systematically and reviewed before new treatments become standard care.

Published: July 2022

Migrant and refugee youth (MRY) in Australia face specific experiences that inform their sexual and reproductive health and rights. Migrant and refugee communities experience poorer health outcomes, have lower health service uptake and have culturally-informed understandings of sexual health. Additionally, youth are particularly vulnerable to poor sexual health. This paper details a study protocol for a systematic review of evidence on how Australian MRY understand and construct sexual and reproductive health and rights.

A systematic review of available literature will be conducted and reported as per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A systematic search of nine databases – Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, APAIS, ProQuest, PsycInfo, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and PubMed – from January 2000 onwards will be undertaken. Hand searches for further relevant studies, including grey literature, will be conducted. Two reviewers will independently screen titles, abstracts and full-text articles against selection criteria. The Mixed Method Appraisal Tool (MMAT) will be used to assess the quality of included studies. Thematic synthesis methods will be used for data extraction and synthesis, aided by QSR NVivo 12.

The proposed systematic review will synthesize evidence on how Australian migrant and refugee youth construct and understand sexual and reproductive health and rights, as well as the factors shaping these constructions. The synthesis will fill existing gaps in understandings of how migrant and refugee youth make decisions and understand their rights. Gaining youth perspectives will provide crucial information on how practice and policy can be improved to deliver to this population.

The aim of this research was to evaluate the role of zinc supplementation on the reduction of heat stress in local lambs during hot season. In the current experiment, twenty-seven lambs were housed indoor in individual pens (1.50 × 1.30m). Zinc was added to the fresh drinking water in three different levels namely T1 (0 mg Zn/day), T2 (36 mg Zn/day) and T3 (72 mg Zn/day). Serum zinc (zinc; µmol/L), Alkaline phosphate (ALP; U/I), Alanine amino transferase (ALT; U/I), Aspartate amino transferase (AST; U/I), Creatine kinase (CK; U/I), Blood glucose level (mg/dl), Triiodothyronine hormone (T3; ng/ml), Thyroxin hormone (T4; ng/ml) were measured once per week. Zinc supplementation results show significant decrease in Aspartate amino transferase (AST) in (week 4), and Creatine kinase (CK) at (week 6) in T1group. Also zinc supplementation decreased triiodothyronine hormone (T3), and thyroxin hormone (T4) in (week 4). Whereas serum zinc level and alkaline phosphate (ALP) increased, also blood glucose level increased significantly in T2 (week 5) when the lambs were supplemented with 36 mg / zinc/ day. However, no effect of zinc supplementation was recorded on lamb serum ALT. Zinc supplementation was effective to increase blood plasma zinc concentration, ALP and kept the level of T4 from reduction during heat stress. However, zinc supplementation failed to keep the level of T3 from reduction during heat stress. This could be due to the type of zinc that was supplemented in the current experiment was inorganic which is less bioavailable than organic zinc

Published: July 2022

This study proposes several methods to analyze the performance of the hybrid machine learning method using Voting and Stacking on rainfall classification. The two hybrid methods will combine five classification methods, namely Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, Artificial Neural Network, and eXtreme Gradient Boosting. The data used is Bandung City rainfall data for the years 2005 until 2021. The hybrid method is classified as an ensemble, which means combining several individual classification models to improve the performance of the built model. Voting algorithm has weaknesses in imbalanced data, while stacking does not. The results show that by combining five machine learning methods on an imbalanced dataset, the Stacking algorithm obtains an accuracy value of 99.60%. Meanwhile, with the addition of the SMOTE technique, the accuracy increases to 99.71%. This is supported by the performance of the Stacking method which is superior because it takes the best classification value for each individual model and can overcome the imbalance. Model evaluation does not only focus on accuracy, but also precision, recall, and f1-score. The contribution of this research is to provide information about the best Hybrid method between Voting and Stacking in obtaining model performance results on rainfall classification.

Published: July 2022

Africa is witnessing a recurring wave of xenophobic attacks despite being built on the foundations of humanity and oneness. Despite being situated at various sub-region in Africa, Nigeria and South Africa are both regarded as regional hegemons, and as regional hegemons, they tussle for international recognition as exemplified in occasional diplomatic confrontations. Relations between Abuja and Pretoria have been marked by several stages with their political, economic and socio-cultural interaction punctuated by rivalry, conflict, cooperation and competition. This article explores the paradox of xenophobia in South Africa and its impact on strategic relations with Nigeria through the lens of citizen diplomacy. Relying on secondary data, we assess the how Nigerians residing in South Africa can be protected through the instrumentality of citizen diplomacy. From the study, the authors argue that prevalence of xenophobic prejudice and violence on African nationals (including Nigerians) residing in South Africa arises due to limited implementation and utilization of the citizen’s diplomacy by the Nigerian government. Therefore, we propose policy prescriptions to enhance the Nigeria-South Africa strategic partnership with an emphasis on the adoption of a cultural mix policy and early warning signals, which are paramount in eliminating xenophobic conflicts in African societies.

The world of construction is progressing very rapidly. The higher the need for infrastructure development, the energy absorption to support these activities will certainly be very large. To minimize this need, it is necessary to have innovations that can reduce the production of materials, such as cement. Therefore, it is necessary to have an alternative to take advantage of wasted waste such as egg shells to be used as a partial or complete substitute for cement, especially as a mixed material in the manufacture of concrete. This study aims to maximize the use of chicken egg shell waste for concrete mixtures. Egg shell powder to be added as a partial substitute for cement is made with a composition variation of 0%; 2.5%; 5%; 7.5%; 10%. Where each variation is made into 3 samples, so that the total sample is 15 samples and the compressive strength of the concrete is tested after 28 days. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the mixture of concrete with egg shells at a percentage of 2.5% is called the optimum state. The optimum condition is a condition where the compressive strength of the resulting concrete is greater and maximum when used to make environmentally friendly concrete.

Isoflurane has been characterized as a distressing agent for rodents, causing both physiologic and behavioral effects. Using a "darkened home cage" has been recommended during CO2 administration for rodent euthanasia; this is arguably a similar animal experience to anesthetic
induction with isoflurane. Based on the premise that rodents perceive red light as darkness via the primary optic tract, we compared physiologic and behavioral markers of stress in 2 inbred strains of mice (C57BL/6J and BALB/cJ) anesthetized with isoflurane in either a red-tinted (dark) induction
chamber or a traditional translucent induction chamber. Physiologic stress was assessed based on plasma levels of norepinephrine, epinephrine, and corticosterone. Stress-related behaviors (rearing, face wiping, and jumping) were recorded on video and scored from initiation of induction to
loss of consciousness. No significant correlations were found between chamber type and physiologic stress hormones. As compared with the translucent chamber, stress-related behaviors were more frequent in the red-tinted chamber, including: 1) significantly higher rearing frequencies in BALB/cJ
mice; 2) higher behavioral stress scores in BALB/cJ and male C57BL/6J mice; and 3) more face wiping behavior when considering all mice combined. These findings suggest that mice do not experience significant alleviation of physiologic indices of stress when anesthetized in a red-tinted induction
chamber. Furthermore, isoflurane induction in the red-tinted chamber appeared to increase the expression of stress-related behaviors, particularly in BALB/cJ mice. Based on our findings and a growing body of literature on the unintended effects of red light, we do not recommend using red-tinted
chambers for induction of anesthesia in mice.

Vivarium husbandry practices are based on performance data and adhere to applicable regulatory guidelines. Refinements in husbandry and optimization of sanitization protocols improve animal wellbeing and help standardize the microenvironment, contributing to research reproducibility.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the microenvironment to establish performance standards for mouse husbandry and sanitization, including housing at standard and thermoneutral temperatures. Male C57BL/6J mice were housed singly and in groups in disposable IVCs on α-cellulose
or corncob bedding and microenvironmental indicators (ammonia, carbon dioxide) were evaluated. In addition, microbial bioburden tests (ATP and RODAC) were performed on cages and cage accessories on days 0, 7, 14 and, 28 to 30 after cage change. Water testing and aerobic culture of the waterspout
of bottles containing chlorinated water were performed to determine acceptable replacement schedules. Ammonia levels remained below the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health 8-h recommended exposure limit for humans (25 ppm) at all time points for all housing conditions through
day 21 for group-housed mice, and through day 30 for singly housed mice. Microbial bioburden results for cage accessories and water testing were acceptable up to 28 d after cage change (RODAC less than 50 CFU; ATP less than 100,000 RLU) at both standard and thermoneutral housing temperatures.
Mice remained clinically healthy throughout the studies. These results support site operating practices and verify extended sanitization recommendations per the Guide of the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals in this disposable IVC environment: group-housed mice receive bottom cage
and water bottle change up to every 14 d with full cage change (including lid and accessories) every 28 d, and singly housed mice receive full cage change every 28 to 30 d or sooner.

Published: July 2022

This study was carried out to examine the effect of sportive recreational activities, in which female teachers teaching in different branches, participate on assertiveness and hopelessness. In order to determine the effects of assertiveness and hopelessness, the method of applying pre-test and post-test to the participants was followed in the study. Assertiveness and hopelessness levels of the participants were collected using the “Beck Hopelessness” and “Rathus Assertiveness” scales. Descriptive statistics and ANOVA test were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the research, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the first test and post-test mean scores of the hopelessness and assertiveness levels of the sedentary women in the experimental group who performed recreational activities, while there was no significant difference between the first-test and post-test mean scores in the control group. In addition, it was determined that sedentary female teachers who participated in regular recreational activities for twelve weeks had a significant decrease in hopelessness levels and an increase in assertiveness levels. In this context, it can be said that directing sedander female teachers to sportive recreational activities will be more efficient in coping with hopelessness and increasing the sense of assertiveness, and will contribute to the education processes.

Introduction: Reliance on out-of-pockets (OOP) payments for health services has continued to hamper access to quality healthcare across Nigeria. Socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the gender of the household head as it influences and impacts health shocks and OOP payments have received very little attention globally. This study investigated the gender perspective on health shocks, health expenditures and coping mechanisms in North Central, Nigeria. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analytical study involving both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. A total of 1,192 households were studied using multi-stage sampling technique in both rural and urban communities in North Central, Nigeria. Data was analysed with SPSS version 20, and qualitative analysis was done by thematic analysis. Results: The finding showed that 458 (38.4%) of the respondents were female-headed households (FHHs). Female-headed households were less educated, earned lower income, resided more in rural communities and were less insured than male-headed households (MHHs). Health shocks were higher among the FHHs and they also pay higher percentage of their household expenditure for healthcare through higher OOP payments. Also, more FHHs experienced Catastrophic Health Expenditure (CHE) and reported effects of health shocks on reduction in food consumption and loss of income than MHHs. Age, income, occupation and household size are all factors that influenced health shocks in this study. Conclusions: Innovative ways to financially protect women must be employed, to close up the equity gap and bring Nigeria closer to achieving UHC.

Adequately trained Manpower is a problem that affects the IT industry as a whole, but it is particularly acute for Enjay IT Solution. Enjay's location in a semi-urban or rural area makes it even more difficult to find a talented employee with the right skills. As the competition for skilled workers grows, it becomes more difficult to attract and keep those workers who have the requisite training and experience.
