Published: November 2024

Feline obesity is one of the most prevalent health issues in cats, especially following neutering, a method used for population control. Neutering is an essential measure for public health and animal welfare, which is also associated with increased food intake in cats. This procedure leads to a hormonal decrease, resulting in a reduced energy requirement for the animal. This combination often leads to weight gain if nutritional control is not implemented. With this in mind, the aim of this study is to assess the knowledge of cat owners, through a questionnaire, about nutritional management for neutered cats, emphasizing their specific needs, challenges following neutering, and dietary strategies to ensure their health and quality of life. A total of 54 responses were included, revealing that no owner follows the manufacturer’s feeding recommendations. Most owners understand the importance of nutrition but practice improper feeding, including the provision of treats. However, all respondents indicated a willingness to improve the animals' nutritional management with appropriate guidance. To address these issues, an informational guide was developed to provide advice on appropriate feeding and care for cats post-neutering. This guide includes information on specific nutritional needs, the importance of dietary control, suggestions for physical activities, and general care to promote feline well-being. The initiative aims to support owners in implementing more informed and effective practices, helping to prevent issues such as obesity and promoting a better quality of life for their pets. Continuous education for owners is essential to ensure that neutered cats receive adequate care, thereby contributing to their health and happiness.

Published: November 2024

This study has the general objective of studying the cooperative act and its appropriate tax treatment. In this way, we will reflect on the doctrine, initially providing a brief history of cooperativism, its origin and current evolution, with emphasis on its social character embodied by the corporate type and its principles. To obtain what we propose to do, we use bibliographical research in books, articles, periodicals, legislation and case law. The research results indicate that when it comes to the concept of a cooperative act, it has the reason of the cooperative, in terms of not acting in its own interest, thus seeking an intermediary between the cooperative member and the market. The Federal Constitution of 1988 provided significant changes to cooperatives, with the incentive being creation. Thus, it had the slightest intention of establishing an understanding which defines the elucidation of certain points selected or placed on the agenda for further discussions.

Published: November 2024

Because of its high resource and energy consumption and carbon emissions, the construction industry comes across as one of the most environmentally unfriendly industries, as traditional materials such as concrete, steel, and timber pose even greater reputational and performance risks, sustainability challenges, a climate crisis, resource extraction, sprawl, in addition to being the largest source of human-related carbon emissions. A drive toward more environmentally friendly construction methodologies has created an interest in advanced composite materials (ACMs) (including Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP), Natural Fibre Composites (NFC), Bio-composites and Nano-composites), which have been proven to possess many beneficial characteristics including high strength-to-weight ratios, great durability and potential to be very environmentally friendly. Despite these benefits, there has been little comparative analysis of ACMs versus traditional materials across the key sustainability metrics over the full life cycle. This study seeks to fill this knowledge gap by conducting a detailed assessment of ACM in terms of performance, environmental impact and sustainability throughout their life cycle. Specific aims include studying the mechanical properties of ACMs like the strength-to–weight ratio, durability, thermal insulation, recycle ability, and carbon footprint, and comparing them with traditional construction materials. The research applies a sequential process consisting of a literature review, characterization of materials, case studies and Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) of ACSMs to assess their potential to be viable alternatives for sustainable construction. The key contributions of this work are the in depth understanding of the relative performance of ACMs with respect to traditional materials, the identification of specific areas where ACMs are superior in sustainability metrics, and the identification of limitations in their recyclability and fire resistance that still require further R & D. These results endorse ACMs as viable alternatives to conventional materials, leading to less resource use, lower emission, and more sustainability in construction practice. This research offers practical civil engineering-oriented recommendations and establishes a basis for additional investigation on how to improve ACMs for wider, sustainable applications.
