Authors: Pollicino Paolo , Gandini Marco , Perona Giovanni , Mattoni mario , Farca Anna
Published: August 2024

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and applicability of using Elastrator rings (Elastrator; Heiniger International, Switzerland) to repair umbilical hernias in swine. Ten 2- to 3-month-old gilts (Large White × Italian Landrace) with umbilical hernias were heavily sedated and placed in dorsal recumbency. After manual reduction of the hernia in each animal, two Elastrator rings were applied on the hernial sac, close to the abdominal wall. Animals showed no signs of post-treatment pain. In eight animals, the hernial sac separated at 21 to 28 days post treatment. These animals were marketed at a mean age of 220.5 ± 8.25 days and an average weight of 171 ± 7 kg. Repair was unsuccessful in two animals. The use of Elastrator rings to repair recently diagnosed umbilical hernias appears to be an effective method in commercial swine. The technique is simple and inexpensive, and animals need no special care.

Published: August 2024

Objective: To evaluate the effects of group size-space allowance and floor type on growth performance and carcass characteristics in pigs slaughtered at 160 kg live weight (LW). Materials and methods: (Landrace × Large White) × Duroc pigs (N = 216), averaging 89.8 ± 0.4 kg LW at approximately 6 months of age, were evenly distributed among 18 pens (six pens per room, equal numbers of barrows and gilts per pen). Nine pens provided a low space allowance (LSA; k = 0.033; 1.0 m2 per animal; 126 pigs), and nine pens provided a high space allowance (HSA; k = 0.047; 1.4 m2 per animal; 90 pigs). After 90 days, six pigs per pen were slaughtered (total 108 pigs; 156 ± 1.4 kg LW). The proportion of floor contaminated with manure, urine, or both, and environmental parameters, were recorded during the observation period. Results: Pigs on all floor types tended to gain more weight with HSA than with LSA (P = .08) days 46 to 90. Average daily gain (ADG) and final LW were higher for barrows than gilts (P < .05). Feed conversion ratio tended to be lower (P < .10) for HSA than LSA animals. Backfat thickness was higher for HSA and rooms with totally slatted floors. Contaminated floor area was smaller with totally slatted floors. Implications: Increasing space allowance from k = 0.033 to k = 0.047 is associated with better ADG at LW > 120 kg, suggesting that this change might be of benefit to the heavy-pig industry.

Authors: Tamta Krishna Kumar , Tewari Ashish , Tamta Jyotsna
Published: August 2024

In Uttarakhand, there are several trees’ species that produce seeds of high oil content known as tree borne oilseeds (TBOs). However, there is very little information on TBOs and their relationship with the livelihoods of the people in local communities. The present study focused on Prunus armeniaca L. (Wild Apricot), the seeds of which yield oil. Phytosociological analysis was carried out at 8 potential areas between the altitudes of 1642 and 2630 m by placing 20 quadrats of 10×10m size. The physical parameters of the fruits and seeds were studied. Oil was extracted from seed kernels using Soxhlet apparatus. Personal interviews were done to assess the relationship of the plant oil to the livelihood issues of local communities. The research indicates that the species was failing to regenerate naturally in the region and there was a lack of awareness about its potential uses. The density of P. armeniaca ranged between 50 and 120 indi/ha across all the sites. The seed kernel oil content across all the sites ranged between 38.75±2.4 to 57.27±2.4% (on kernel dry weight basis). One hectare of plantation with 400 trees of P. armeniaca can generate about 1.24-2.34 tha-1 kernel, 0.61-1.15 tha-1 oil yield, and can give rise to an average net income between Rs.71,000/- and 217,000/- ha-1 year-1. The study reveals that P. armeniaca can play a vital role in providing opportunities for livelihood generation and economic upliftment for the local hill communities in the region.
Bacterial Cellulose Production by Acetobacter aceti MTCC 2623 Using Different Carbon Sources
Authors: Garima Singh  , Pammi Gauba  , Garima Mathur
Published: August 2024

Cellulose is a naturally occurring polysaccharide that is produced by both plants and micro-organisms.  It is one of the most prevalent organic substances in the natural world. Compared to plant cellulose, bacterial cellulose (BC) exhibits superior physicochemical properties such as high purity, crystallinity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and water holding ability, making it an excellent choice of material for various industrial and biomedical applications. However, large scale production and utilization of BC suffers from limitations related to its low yield and high production cost. In this research, an attempt was made to investigate the effects of different carbon sources on the bacterial cell growth kinetics, BC yield and physicochemical characteristics of Acetobacter aceti MTCC 2623. The results showed variations in growth kinetics and BC yields under different conditions. Among the selected carbon sources, Hestrin and Schramm (HS) medium supplemented with glucose gave highest BC yield of 2.89±0.18 g/L, whereas glycine resulted in the lowest BC yield, which was 0.089±0.17 g/L. FTIR spectral analysis showed no significant variations in the characteristic vibrational bands for BC prepared using different carbon sources. DSC results indicated the superior thermal stability of BC samples over commercial cellulose. Our findings suggest that BC production by A. aceti using glucose as C-source in HS media may be scaled up for enhanced production of BC. The improved physicochemical characteristics of BC compared to commercial cellulose point to the importance of BC as a potential candidate for several biomedical and industrial applications.
Entre a Estilística Spitzeriana e a Teoria Interacionista Blackiana: Uma Análise das Metáforas em A desumanização, de Valter Hugo Mãe
Authors: Emanoel Monteiro Gomes Cristhyan
Published: August 2024

A desumanização (2017) é o sexto romance do escritor português Valter Hugo Mãe. Neste trabalho, selecionou-se cinco metáforas contidas na obra com o objetivo central de analisá-las tanto como um instrumento cognitivo que produzem conhecimento, quanto um traço estilístico do autor. Desse modo, o instrumental teórico utilizado apoia-se especialmente nos pressupostos da teoria interacionista da metáfora e, também, na estilística literária de vertente spitzeriana. Tal percurso define metodologicamente a pesquisa enquanto um estudo bibliográfico. Para isso, recorreu-se às teses de Black (1966), cujo enfoque interacionista sobre as metáforas auxiliou no percurso analítico das sentenças metafóricas em pauta, e aos estudos sobre estilística organizados por Aguiar e Silva (1979), Martins (2012) e Monteiro (2009), dos quais utilizou-se a concepção de estilo adotado por Léo Spitzer para compreender a relação tênue entre as vivências de Mãe e o seu estilo expresso na obra. Os resultados nos apontam que as metáforas, na voz da personagem Halla, parecem operar como uma maneira de lidar com experiências que abrangem a morte e o luto. Portanto, conclui-se que as sentenças metafóricas geram similitudes e, assim, funcionam como recurso estilístico tal qual como produtoras de conhecimento para apreender questões que atravessam a condição de ser humano.

Published: August 2024

Building on weak or soft soils presents issues such as differential settlements, insufficient strength, and significant compressibility. Clayey soils are weak, and as a result, a pavement will not be able to withstand it for long enough to work as intended. There are several methods available to boost the soil's ability to support more weight, such as providing reinforcement and stabilizing the soil. One way to improve the geotechnical qualities of soil is soil stabilization, which has become an important practice in construction engineering and allows for the successful use of industrial wastes as a stabilizer. This method's appeal is increasing due to its adaptability and accessibility. The stabilization of waste materials makes it possible to construct roads at a reasonable cost. The investigation that was done to determine whether adding wood ash and calcium chloride enhanced the properties of clayey soil is described in the current article. Unmodified soil is combined in a variety of percentages with wood ash and calcium chloride to produce the optimal admixture% required for soil stabilization. Laboratory tests such as Atterberg's limit, Compaction test, CBR test, and UCS test were performed for both modified and unmodified clayey soil as part of this comparative study. In this study Wood Ash and Calcium Chloride were used to stabilize Expansive soil. Using index properties tests Wood Ash was fixed at 12% respectively. Calcium Chloride was then varied (i.e. 02%, 04%, 06% and 08%). Key Words: Compaction test, CBR, UCS, Wood Ash, Calcium Chloride

Acupressure is a non-pharmacological method for managing afterpains effectively in postnatal mothers after vaginal delivery. This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of acupressure on afterpains among postnatal mothers after vaginal delivery at Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, Coimbatore. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group research design was adopted for this study. Non – probability purposive sampling technique was used and 30 postnatal mothers undergoing vaginal delivery at Sri Ramakrishna hospital were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Every alternative sample was assigned to experimental group [n=15] and Control group [n=15]. Physiological parameters were assessed at the beginning of each day before intervention and pretest was assessed by using a numerical pain rating scale. Acupressure was applied for 2 minutes before breastfeeding and the post-test was assessed immediately after each intervention for five times a day from the onset of afterpains till 72 hours after vaginal delivery and at the end of each day after intervention physiological parameters were assessed. The mean and standard deviation of afterpains among postnatal mothers in the experimental group with pre-test and post-test were 7.32, 0.583 and 0.55, 1.34 respectively with a mean difference of 6.77. It proves that there is an effect of acupressure on the afterpains among the postnatal mothers in the experimental group (t=46.69, p=0.001). Student ‘t’ test was used to compare the post-test afterpains among experimental and control group postnatal mothers. It was identified that the mean and standard deviation of afterpains among postnatal mothers in the experimental and control group was 0.55, 1.34 and 6.5, 0.479 with a mean difference of 5.95 respectively. It proves that there is an effect of acupressure on the afterpains among the postnatal mothers in the experimental group. (t = 44.07, p=0.001). Hence acupressure is a pain- reducing therapy. It can be incorporated in the routine nursing care in the postnatal period and that can help minimize the afterpains for postnatal mothers and improves the comfort level and bonding between postnatal mother and baby.

Authors: Guo Guihang , Li Ying , Zhong Jieying
Published: August 2024

Webcast shopping realizes the transition from static pictures to dynamic videos, increases consumers' immersive experience and product authenticity, and creates an economy through exclusive discounts. Innovative presentation mode is entertaining, and real-time interaction enhances emotional connection and identity, which, to varying degrees, will have an impact on college students' live-streaming purchasing behavior. Based on the SOR model, we study how the live broadcast features act on consumers' purchase intention through 3 types of perceived value, and give validation to the research hypotheses through a questionnaire survey. The results of the study show that the economy, authenticity, entertainment, interactivity, and identity of live broadcasting will not only promote the live broadcasting purchase behavior of college students, but also positively affect their product, emotional, and social perceived value. Higher entertainment of live-streaming rooms provides emotional perceived value, attracting consumers to enter and stay. The full range of commodity displays strengthens authenticity and immersive shopping experience, producing product and emotional value. Anchors' patience and timely interaction build customer trust, satisfying their social needs. These factors stimulate the final purchase behavior through an intermediate role of perceived value. While facing these stimuli, it's wiser for college students to leave a buffer time for their live broadcasting room consumption to reduce emotionally triggered irrational consumption.
