Authors: HASHEMI MAJID , SAFDARIAN MAZAHER , HASHEMI SEYED MOHAMMAD REZA
Published: December 2022

Semen quantity and quality are affected by transportation and frequent semen collection in ram when they are transported from nucleus flock to target farms for in situ artificial insemination (AI) of ewes with fresh semen. The current study was designed to introduce the best method of fresh semen preservation for fixed time AI in Karakul sheep. The adult Karakul ewes were allocated to 6 groups (30 ewes in each group) during the breeding season and each group was inseminated with one of the following treatments, viz. fresh semen without extender, fresh semen diluted with Tris-egg yolk or milk, cooled semen (stored at 10°C for 8 h) without extender, and cooled semen diluted with Tris-egg yolk or milk. Lambing and fecundity rates were the highest when ewe was inseminated with undiluted fresh semen (71.42 and 85.71%, respectively). These reproductive indices in ewes, which were inseminated with diluted fresh semen or undiluted cooled semen were significantly lower than those recorded in inseminated ewes with undiluted fresh semen. The type of extender and storage of diluted semen at 10°C for 8 h did not significantly affect lambing rate of Karakul ewe. Results suggested that use of undiluted fresh semen and diluted fresh semen in milk or Tris-egg yolk extenders are preferable for fixed time AI in ewes of genetic improvement center and Karakul sheep flocks located near to this center, respectively.

A study was conducted in four major horse rearing tehsils (Beerwah, Khag, Chadoora and Budgam) of district Budgam in Kashmir valley regarding available feed resources, feeding practices being followed and nutritional status of horses. Twelve equine keeping families from each study area were selected at random. The daily dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), digestible energy (DE) and macro minerals (Ca and P) intakes by different classes of horses were calculated from the feed intakes and compared with the nutrient requirement given in the feeding standard. Adult horses were being fed rice straw, rice bran and wheat bran; however, in addition to these, bengal gram was fed in areas of Chadoora and Khag only, while maize grains was fed to the horses in Chadoora only. The horses were fed blend of spicy ingredients locally called as ‘masala’. None of the farmers offered any oil seeds/cakes, compound pelleted feed or mineral supplement to the horses, though, salt licks were allowed to the adult animals on daily basis in all the study areas. The chemical composition of all the feeds and fodders fed to horses in the study areas of district Budgam were within the ranges as prescribed for Indian feeds and fodders. While adult horses received optimum DM, the daily CP and DE intake was found to be deficient along with imbalanced Ca and P intake when compared to the standard requirements. Foals were found to get diets deficient in DM, DE, CP and Ca but surplus in P. Lactating mares received daily rations with optimum DM content, excess DE, slightly less CP and excessive Ca and P. It was concluded that the adult horses and lactating mares were being fed rations optimum in terms of quantity, but was not balanced in terms of nutrients; however, foals were fed diets deficient in both in quantity as well as quality.

Published: December 2022

Present investigation was undertaken to predict first lactation 305-day milk yield (FL305DMY) using monthly test day milk records. Under this study, multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) approach were used. Effectiveness of both methods was also compared for prediction of FL305DMY in Murrah buffalo. The data on 3336 monthly test day milk yields records of first lactation pertaining to 556 Murrah buffaloes maintained at National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal; Central Institute for research on buffalo; Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (GADVASU), Ludhiana and Choudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University (CCSHAU), Hisar were used in this study. In MLR study, it was observed that model 14 having four independent variable, i.e. FSP, TD2, TD4 and TD6 fulfilled most criteria such as highest R2, lowest MSE, lowest RMSE, lowest CP, lowest MAE, lowest MAPE, and lowest U value. In the present investigation, the accuracy of prediction obtained from ANN was almost similar to MLR for prediction of FL305DMY using monthly test day milk records in Murrah buffalo. The best ANN algorithm achieved 76.8% accuracy of prediction for optimum model, whereas the MLR explained 76.9% of accuracy of prediction of FL305DMY in Murrah buffalo. MLR method is simple as compared to ANN, hence MLR method could be preferred.
Estimation of heritability and genetic correlation of egg production traits using animal model in commercial layer
Authors: CHANDAN P , PRINCE L L L , BHATTACHARYA T K , RAJKUMAR U , CHATTERJEE R N
Published: December 2022

Traditionally, heritability has been estimated by correlations of close kin. It is likely to be biased by determinants such as non genetic factors, inbreeding, selection and shared environment. Whereas, an animal model takes into account all relationships in a pedigree and is therefore expected to provide estimates of quantitative genetic parameters with higher precision. Therefore, the egg production data in the current study was analyzed using animal model to have more precise and accurate estimates of genetic parameters. The heritability of growth and egg weight traits was moderate to high. Whereas the heritability was lower for egg number and ASM traits. The body weights were positively correlated with egg weights and negatively correlated with egg numbers traits. The egg number produced at different age intervals was positively correlated. The genetic correlation of EP40 and EP52 with EP64 were 0.83 and 0.92, respectively. Therefore, the part period egg production of EP52 would give better selection response for egg production at 64 than EP40. Therefore, the selection of higher egg numbers can be done earlier at 52 weeks rather than waiting for EP64.

Sammenhengen mellom atferdsmønstre, responskontingent forsterkning og depressive symptomer hos studenter under Covid-19-pandemien
Authors: Aasland Av Mia , Myhre Martin Ø.
Published: December 2022

Covid-19-pandemien og tiltak for å begrense smitte har medført bekymring for økning av depressive symptomer. Nyere studier har funnet at depressive symptomer har økt under Covid-19-pandemien og det er viktig å finne forklaringer på denne økningen. Atferdsorienterte tilnærminger forklarer depresjon som et resultat av negativ forsterkning med påfølgende tap av responskontingent positiv forsterkning. I denne studien undersøkte vi om aktivitetsnivået fra en uke i mars 2021 er assosiert med begrenset tilgang på responskontingent positiv forsterkning og depressive symptomer. Studiens utvalg besto av 133 studenter bosatt i ulike deler av Norge. Resultatene viser at sammenhengen mellom aktivitetsnivå under pandemien og muligheten til å oppnå forsterkning målt med Reward Probability Index (RPI) er signifikant (p =.016). Endringer i atferdsmønstre kan bidra til å påvirke utviklingen av depresjon gjennom at tilgang på positiv forsterkning begrenses. Denne studien viser at det kan være viktig å opprette et høyt aktivitetsnivå som positivt forsterkende for å unngå utvikling av depresjon under pandemirelatert nedstenging.

Authors: Walby Fredrik A. , Myhre Martin Ø. , Giil Ebba
Published: December 2022

I mars 2020 ble det som følge av Covid-19 innført en rekke tiltak for å begrense smitte, noe som medførte store konsekvenser for samfunnet som helhet og for mange enkeltpersoner. Mange fryktet en økning av antall selvmord både i befolkningen og i sårbare grupper som følge av pandemien. I denne artikkelen går vi først gjennom studier som har sett på effekten av pandemien på selvmordsratene i Norge i pandemiens første fase (< 12 mnd.), både for befolkningen som helhet og for pasienter i psykisk helsevern og tverrfaglig spesialisert rusbehandling. Vi finner ingen holdepunkter for at pandemien har medført noen endring av selvmordsratene i denne perioden. Dernest drøfter vi noen mulige forklaringer på dette, både i form av mulige ulikheter i eksponering for negative konsekvenser, ulik underliggende risiko i forskjellige grupper og mulige beskyttende faktorer. Det er en rekke begrensninger i kunnskapsgrunnlaget så langt. Effekter av pandemien på selvmord utover 2020 er i liten grad kartlagt og det er viktig at disse monitoreres fremover.

Background. Beef cattle breeds need to be evaluated in pasture production systems. Objective. This study aimed to evaluate the performance, morphology and carcass characteristics of Sindhi bulls on pasture. Methodology. Twenty Sindhi bulls belonging to eight different herds of the state of Rio Grande do Norte were evaluated on an official weight gain test conducted by the Brazilian Association of Zebu Breeders (ABCZ). The experiment lasted for 294 days, including an adaptation period of 70 days. The animals were managed under a rotational grazing system, with periods of occupation of 20 days. Records of body weight and scrotal circumference measurements were taken every 56 days. Carcass evaluation and visual assessment were performed at the last weighing. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, simple linear correlation and means test. Results. The final body weight, average daily gain and scrotal circumference gain reached 304.60 kg, 0.482 kg/day and 10.29 cm, respectively. The loin eye area and intramuscular fat averaged 52.36 cm² and 1.25%, respectively. Significant and positive correlations between carcass ultrasound parameters were observed. Moreover, a positive and significant correlation between loin eye area and visual assessment was reported. There was no effect (P>0.05) of initial body weight on carcass characteristics, performance and visual assessment. Implications. Sindhi breed cattle are efficient in producing meat when fed exclusively with pasture, but need more genetic work that focuses on the deposition of adipose tissue in more valued regions of the carcass. Conclusions. The pasture-based gain performance test demonstrates the hardiness of the Sindhi breed, and the carcass evaluation validates the breed's aptitude for meat production and their precocity in depositing muscles.

Published: December 2022

Background. Plants in the neotropical region provide different ecological services and sustain entomofauna biodiversity. The butterfly, Morpho helenor montezuma, has high economic value worldwide, derived from recreational activities. To enhance its sustainable use, it is important to know the spatial relationship of this species with its host-plants. Objective. To estimate the potential geographical areas in Mexico of three host-plants: Bauhinia divaricata, Andira inermis and Pterocarpus rohrii and their spatial relationship with M. helenor montezuma. Methodology. Distribution models of the species were generated using MaxEnt, employing predictive variables based on temperature and precipitation, and records of presence data. Subsequently, a joint analysis of layers was performed to determine the overlap in the distributions. Results. The models were appropriate as the area under the curve ranged from 0.86 to 0.96. The broadest potential host-plant distribution was for B. divaricata (30%), followed by A. inermis (21%) and P. rohrii with 7% of the country. In general, the joint distribution of the plant species is neotropical, and can be found in Veracruz, Tabasco, Chiapas and Oaxaca. Implications. The knowledge of the distributions of the plants allows their prioritization for conservation management and entomotourism. Conclusion. The joint distribution of B. divaricata against that of M. helenor montezuma had the greatest overlap (61%), with regard to the type of climate the highest concordance was found with P. rohrii. Pertinence to entomotourism and conservation planning is discussed.

Published: December 2022

Background. During lactation the mammary fat synthesis is increased compared to adipose tissue. Objective. This study evaluated the promoter specific gene expression of acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha (ACACA) transcripts from promoters II and III, fatty acid synthase (FASN), sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1 (SREBF1) in mammary gland and adipose tissue and, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG), fatty acid transporters acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 1 (ACSL1), solute carrier family 27 member 6 (SLC27A6), fatty acid binding proteins 3 and 4 (FABP3 and FABP4), CD36 molecule (CD36) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in the mammary gland. Methodology. Eight Lacaune lactating ewes at 15, 70, and 120 days in milk (DIM) were used. Results. There was no effect of tissue, lactation stage, or tissue by lactation stage interaction for PIII ACACA transcripts. Mammary PII transcripts changed according to stage of lactation with higher expression at 15 than 120 DIM. In adipose tissue at 120 DIM, expression of PII ACACA transcripts were higher than 15 and 70 DIM. Expression of FASN in adipose tissue was higher at 70 and 120 DIM when compared to mammary tissue at 120 DIM. The SREBF1 expression at 70 was higher than 15 DIM in mammary tissue and higher than 70 DIM in adipose tissue. In the mammary gland, the gene expression of LPL, CD36 and FABP3 was decreased from 15 to 120 DIM. Implications. Collectively, our results highlight the fact that in early lactation (15 to 70 DIM) milk fat synthesis is prioritized over adipose tissue in dairy sheep. Conclusion. This prioritization is managed through an orchestrated increase in mammary gene expression of ACACA transcripts, FASN, SREBF1, LPL, CD36, and FABP3.

Background: The Moringa genus is made up of thirteen species and is characterized by its rapid growth. Studies relating to gender in association with plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) are limited. Objective: To evaluate the growth, development, and quality of Moringa oleifera Lam seedlings inoculated with plant growth promoting bacteria under greenhouse conditions. Methodology: The following were defined as treatments: Bacillus niacini; B. cereus, Moraxela osloensis, Azospirillum brasilense (positive control) and an absolute control, which were arranged in a completely randomized design with four replications. Results: Bacterial inoculated promoted an increase in the number of leaves per plant, standing out A. brasilense (10.8), M. osloensis (11.45) and B. cereus (11.05) (P≤0.001). The plants inoculated with B. cereus produced 0.80 t DM ha-1 of leaves and in whole plant 12.92 t DM ha-1, a value higher than that promoted by the rest of the inoculated (P≤0.01), all stimulated leaf development with respect to the absolute control (P≤0.001), and only A. brasilense and B. niacini favored the length and thickness (P≤0.01) of the roots. Implications: The application of the bacterial inoculated referred to in concentrations of 107 CFU mL-1 is recommended to promote the production of aerial biomass of Moringa plants under greenhouse conditions. Conclusion: Bacterial inoculated promoted morphological modifications in plants that favored growth, leaf quantity and the proportion of aerial biomass with respect to the root, but to a small extent in the accumulation of DM. According to the Dickson index, the inoculated plants were of quality.

Objective. Analyze the main works that have been carried out on the impact of climate change on coffee production based on vulnerability, changes in aptitude and suitability for production, pests and diseases, perception of producers and adaptation measures that have been implemented or proposed to deal with this phenomenon. Implications. In general, the results of the investigations glimpse a highly negative panorama for the production of coffee, since the changing climate will impose a greater pressure on this production system with direct consequences on the livelihoods of the producer. Conclusion. Due to the socioeconomic importance that this activity represents for the coffee producing countries and the complexity of the factors that influence the problem, more applied research is needed, which contributes to a better understanding of the problem and helps in the identification of risks and threats to generate timely adaptation and mitigation strategies to the potential impacts of climate change.
SOIL FERTILITY AND GENOTYPE AFFECT YIELD COMPONENTS AND MINERAL GRAIN CONCENTRATION OF COMMON BEANS (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
Authors: Rocha LF , Oliveira LSG , Dalvi LP , Oliveira FL
Published: December 2022

Background: The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) crop is grown all over the world, in cropping systems with a wide range of technology use. These differences lead to interactions between genotype and environment, resulting in yield variations when the crop is submitted to different environmental conditions. Low use of fertilizers and other inputs in crops managed by undercapitalized farmers significantly reduce yield potential of common beans. Objective: The objective of this work was to assess agronomic parameters and foliar and mineral composition of common bean cultivars planted under two contrasting soil fertility levels. Methodology: The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse with four common bean varieties: BRS Pontal, BRS Agreste, BRS Ametista, and BRS Estilo.  The plants were grown in low and high fertility soils. Results: Several parameters were affected by soil fertility, including foliar and grain mineral concentration. The cultivars BRS Pontal and BRS Agreste showed overall higher iron content and grain yield. Implications: The use of fertilizers is widespread as a key practice to achieve higher yields, but as shown in this work, adequate fertility is also important to obtain higher concentrations of essential nutrients in grains. Conclusions: Considering that common beans are a staple crop in many regions around the world, providing optimal soil fertilization is fundamental not only to deliver higher yields but also to produce beans with high nutritional levels.

Background: Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the fifth most important crop in the world and has a fundamental role in food security in most tropical countries. However, studies are still needed to improve its management and production. Objective: the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of planting density on the pattern of allocation of aboveground and belowground biomass, and asexual seeds production of the cassava crop (Cultivar Armenia) in Cucururital, Átures municipality, Amazonas state, Venezuela. Methodology: A total of 25 10 × 10 plots (100 m2) were established under a randomized block design with five replicates and five treatments to compare different parameters of growth and production of the cassava crop under different conditions of planting density: 1.20 × 0.60 m (T1), 1.20 × 0.80 m (T2), 1.20 × 1 m (T3), 1.20 × 1.20 m (T4), and 1.20 × 1.40 m (T5). Results: The results of this research show that there are no significant differences in relation to the different growth and production parameters between the planting density treatments. Despite the variations in planting densities evaluated in this study (5952 to 13888 plants ha-1), the yield of commercial roots (400 to 500 kg plant-1) as the main parameter of agronomic importance, was relatively high compared to different tropical and national studies. Implications: These results allow us to infer that this cassava crop (Armenia) has a high adaptation, phenotypic plasticity and production potential under different growth conditions, which may be advantageous from an agro-ecological, economic and social point of view, to contribute with food security and sustainable livelihoods. Conclusion: With this applied research it was possible to demonstrate the production potential of roots and asexual seeds of the cassava crop (cultivar Armenia) despite the variation in planting density in previously degraded agricultural areas, where no statistical differences were observed between treatments.

Residual neural network (ResNet) is a Deep Learning model introduced by He et al. in 2015 to enhance traditional convolutional neural networks proposed to solve computer vision problems. It uses skip connections over some layer blocks to avoid vanishing gradient problem. Currently, many researches are focused to test and prove the efficiency of the ResNet on different domains such as genomics. In fact, the study of human genomes provides important information on the detection of diseases and their best treatments. Therefore, most of the scientists opted for bioinformatics solutions to get results in a reasonable time. In this paper, our interest is to show the effectiveness of the ResNet model on genomics. For that, we propose two new ResNet models to enhance the results of two genomic problems previously resolved by CNN models. The obtained results are very promising and they proved the performance of our ResNet models compared to the CNN models.

In the field of chemical graph theory, a Wiener (topological) index is a type of a molecular descriptor that is calculated based on the molecular graph of alkanes. It gives the sum of geodesic distances (or shortest paths) between all pairs of vertices of the graph. We found and prove the Wiener indices of some Brooms, which are Caterpillars, giving several unknown sequences that are now added to the collection of the largest Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences.

This study was carried out to assess the morphological and genetic variability of seven accessions of Abelmoschus L. species using morphometric analysis and ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase large chain (RBCL) molecular markers. Using a completely randomized block design, seeds of the okra accessions were planted with three replicates each. During the developmental stage, the morphological features of the accessions were observed and recorded according to the standard descriptor for the crop. Morphologically, all the accessions exhibited a degree of similarities, albeit, at maturity, the leaf, plant height, leaf colour, and leaf shape became distinct. A cluster of the phenotypic characterization was observed at a 3.74 level of coefficient of similarity with two distinct clusters, which were predicted to be A. esculentus and A. caillei. The percentage variance of the two principal components was 55.12% and 22.69% with corresponding Eigenvalues of 4.11 and 1.69, respectively. Results of the RBCL analysis revealed genetic variability at a 0.80 level of coefficient of similarity. Two distinguishable clusters were observed. Both morphometric and genotyping results suggest that variations exist among and within the seven accessions. In conclusion, there is a need to frequently evaluate plant genetic resources held in gene banks as they may not reflect the whole range of diversity inherent in the species.

Any Information signal is best desirable without any external noise/ disturbances. Noise in any signal is the undesirable quantity present which deteriorates the signal's quality, thus compromising the information. Any signal, be it an image signal (2-D) or else a video signal (3-D) in the field of communication, if not always but most number of times prone to noise. In this paper, we would be dealing with removing types of noise on an image, using various filter techniques such as vector median filter, vector directional filter. Using the image processing tools in MATLAB, we could achieve this quite effortlessly. Looking at the prior approaches and keeping those factors in understanding, this paper would intend to path a more thoughtful way to bifurcate the image from its noise using the techniques of the neural networks. With thorough scrutiny and understanding of filters, this paper ensemble the performance of filters, through which we would be applying the most suitable filter out of the lot with the neural networks.
