An experiment was carried out to evaluate the carcass quality and yield as well as organs characteristics of broiler chicken fed graded levels of potato peel meal (SPPM) as replacement for maize. Five diets were formulated in which SPPM replaced maize at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% levels designated as diets 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively for both starter (23%CP) and finisher (20%CP) phases. Two hundred and twenty five one week old broiler chicks were allotted to the five diets in four replicates of fifteen chick each in a completely randomized design (CRD). Feed and water were given adlibtum for a period of six weeks. The result revealed that, all carcass parameters including live weight (0.69-1.54kg), plugged weight (0.62-1.47kg), eviscerated weight (0.45-1.19kg), carcass weight (0.37-1.08kg) and dressing percentage (54.43-69.33%) were significantly (P<0.001) affected by the dietary treatments. However, the results of internal organs characteristics expressed as percentage body weight indicated that abdominal fat (0.08-2.47%), caecum (0.91-1.81%) and small intestine (6.96-13.24%) were significantly (P<0.001) affected by the dietary treatments. Similarly, head, liver, kidney and lungs were affected significantly (P<0.01) by the dietary inclusion of SPPM with values ranging between 3.00-3.83, 2.12-2.85, 0.54-0.99 and 0.54-0.98% respectively. The result further showed that, legs (4.69-4.70%), gizzard (1.89-2.51%), spleen (0.10-0.45%) and large intestine (0.41-0.71%) were not significantly (P>0.05) affected by the dietary treatment. It was therefore concluded that sweet potato peel meal can be a good substitute for maize at 25% level in the diets of broiler chickens without affecting the carcass yield and organs characteristics and was recommended for enhance growth rate of the birds.

The study examined the profitability of sheep marketing in Bauchi Local Government Area, Bauchi state, in Nigeria. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to select 60 sheep marketers from the study area. Data were collected using structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, farm budgeting and multiple regression analysis. The result showed that sheep marketers had mean household size of 13 persons. Majority (83%) of respondents invested from their personal savings while only 5% collected loan. The result further revealed that 13.30% of the respondents invested less than ₦50,000 to start the sheep marketing while 29.20% invested above ₦300.000 and half (50%) of the respondents revealed open market as their major source of information. In addition, the marketing margin, net income and returns per naira invested per sheep in the study area was ₦38,816.40, ₦33,926.70, and ₦0.26 respectively. The findings revealed that the cost of sheep, feeding, and medication were significant at (p <0.001), (P <0.01) and (p < 0.05), respectively. In addition, the estimated value of R2 was 0.784 for sheep marketing, implying that the included variables explained 78% variation in the total revenue of the sheep marketing. The study concluded that sheep marketing was profitable. Finally, the study identified inadequate credit facilities, inadequate market information, high cost of transportation and inadequate housing facilities as the most pressing constraints affecting the system. The study therefore, recommends the need for credit or financial support to improve marketing activities and improvement of banking service. Government should provide good means of transporting the animal like the possibility of using trains, construct good feeder roads so as to reduce rate of taxes/levy in transit and high marketing charges.

The in-silico research was carried out to explore the effect of molecular genetic variation of the myostatin (GDF8) gene in cattle, sheep, and goats. A total of twenty-three (23) GDF8 gene nucleotide sequences comprising cattle (4), sheep (8) and goats (11) were retrieved from NCBI, aligned, translated, and compared using ClustalW. The variation in sequence length base pairs (bp) of the GDF8-gene within and among species ranged between 381 bp and 7831 bp. The functional analysis of mutations using SIFT showed that ten amino acid substitutions (S7Y, M14T, N26K, L43M, F139Y, F94L, R48G, A167S, S125T, and P285E) in cattle, seven in sheep (F7Y, L16I, K36E, L43M, N48T, K49T, and T120S), and ten in goats (F7Y, F14I, L16I, H23Y, K36E, K39Q, T42A, L43M, N48T, and L53I) were beneficial. However, three in cattle (Y9C, E46D, and R161T), five in sheep (Y9C, E34G, R45G, T114A, and I119V) and six in goats (V26L, W27R, G37R, T40I, R50G, and G57R) were harmful. The significant value (p<0.01) for the relative ratio of non-synonymous substitutions per non-synonymous site (dN) to the number of synonymous mutations per synonymous site (dS) known as omega (ɷ = dN/dS), revealed positive selection for all the studied species (1.55 for cattle, 2.71 for sheep and 1.87 for goats). The Tajima’s D indicates selective sweep in sheep (-2.39). The phylogenetic trees showed a close relationship among members of the Bovidae family. It can be inferred from the study that cattle, sheep, and goat GDF8 genes are polymorphic genes with numerous mutations being more beneficial. Further research should be conducted to explore the potential applications of these results in selecting desirable traits and the genetic improvement of cattle, sheep, and goats.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the response of broiler chickens to dietary levels of a sorghum variety, samsorgh-25, as replacement for maize. Five diets were formulated in which samsorgh-25 replaced white maize at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% levels, designated as T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Three hundred (300) two-weeks-old broiler chickens weighing 187.00 – 194.75g were randomly allotted to five diets in replicates of four (4) containing 15 birds each in a Completely Randomized Design. Feed and water were supplied ad libitum for 42 days. The results showed that except for feed conversion ratio (FCR) at the starter and overall phases, no parameter was significantly (P>0.05) affected. At the starter phase, birds fed 100% (T5) replacement level of samsorgh-25 for white maize had better FCR (1.98), which compared favourably with those on 25 -75% levels (2.12 – 2.23) and did not differ from the control (2.35). The trend was also the same at the overall phase where diet T5 gave the best FCR which was similar to T2, T3 and T4, while T1 was the poorest. Feed cost per kg decreased continuously from N460.12 on T1 to 365.71 on T5, while feed cost per kg gain was from N1114.21 (T1) to N802.95 (T5). Consequently, the highest cost saving of N311.28 was realized on T5. It was concluded that samsorgh- 25 can completely replace white maize in broiler chicken diets without compromising performance and with a concomitant reduction in feed cost.

This study investigated the effects of replacing conventional concentrate feed with hydroponic maize fodder on the hematological and serum biochemical parameters of weaner rabbits. Forty weaner rabbits were randomly assigned to five treatments: T1 (100% concentrate), T2 (75% concentrate + 25% hydroponic maize fodder), T3 (50% concentrate + 50% hydroponic maize fodder), T4 (25% concentrate + 75% hydroponic maize fodder), and T5 (100% hydroponic maize fodder) in a Completely Randomize Design (CRD). The experiment lasted for six weeks. Blood samples were collected at the end of the trial for hematological and serum biochemical analysis. Results showed no significant differences (p>0.05) in hematological parameters (PCV, Hb, WBC, RBC, MCV, MCH, MCHC, platelets, neutrophils, and lymphocytes) and serum biochemical parameters (total protein, glucose, albumin, urea, cholesterol, and total bilirubin) across all treatments. These findings suggest that hydroponic maize fodder can partially or fully replace conventional concentrate in weaner rabbit diets without adversely affecting their hematological and serum biochemical profiles.

Published: October 2024

The study was carried out to evaluate the impact of different spices on the sensory and nutritional qualities of meat from various chicken breeds in Bauchi Local Government Area, Bauchi State, Nigeria. Eight matured cocks from four breeds (local, broiler, noiler, and brahma) were stabilized for one week on a broiler finisher diet before slaughter. Post-slaughter, the birds were portioned, and each portion was marinated with 4 grams of specific spices (garlic, ginger, turmeric, cloves, and alligator pepper) for 30 minutes. Sensory evaluation conducted by a panel of 50 individuals revealed that garlic consistently enhanced sensory properties across all breeds. The result further indicated that, in local chicken, garlic scored 13 (26%) for flavor, 12 (24%) for aroma, and 15 (30%) for overall acceptability. In broiler meat, garlic scored 14 (28%) for flavor, 13 (26%) for aroma, and 14 (28%) for overall acceptability. Ginger also improved various sensory attributes, scoring 12 (24%) for flavor and 12 (24%) for color in noiler meat, and 12 (24%) for flavor and 12 (24%) for tenderness in brahma meat. Proximate analysis revealed moisture content ranging from 72.5% in local chicken to 74.5% in brahma, with the highest protein content found in local chicken at 22.0%. Fat content varied slightly, with the highest in local chicken at 3.5%. Mineral analysis showed local chicken had the highest calcium content at 15.0 mg/100g and zinc content at 2.0 mg/100g.The study concludes that garlic and ginger significantly enhance the sensory qualities of chicken meat, particularly in terms of flavor and overall acceptability. Additionally, local chicken meat offers superior nutritional benefits compared to other breeds. The study recommends further research on optimal spice combinations and concentrations to maximize consumer preference, as well as breed-specific marketing strategies that emphasize the nutritional advantages of different chicken breeds.

Published: October 2024

The study was conducted to evaluate the growth performance and haematological parameters of growing Yankasa rams fed varying proportions of cowpea shell and groundnut haulms in diets. A total of 20 Yankasa rams were assigned to five isonitrogenous dietary treatments (16% crude protein) formulated to include groundnut haulms and cowpea shell at varying proportions such that the two ingredients collectively contributed 40% of the diets. The experiment was conducted in a Completely Randomized Design, with five (5) treatments of four (4) animals each. The result indicated a significant (P<0.05) difference in daily feed intake (DFI) of the animals across the treatments. DFI for animals on diet 1 (1309.00 g/day), 5 (1342.00 g/day) and 2 (1262.00 g/day) were similar and significantly higher than those on the other treatments (1282.00 and 1288.00 g/day for treatments 3 and 4). Water intake (litres per day and litres per kg dry matter intake) of the rams fed the various diets indicated a non-significant difference between the means in both cases. The values of water intake (l/day) range from 1.99 for treatment 5 to 2.28 for those on treatment 1. The result of daily weight gain (DWG) revealed a highly significant (P<0.001) difference across the treatments. The mean value of the DWG for animals on treatment 1(125.86g/day) was significantly higher than those for the other diets, followed by those on treatment 5 (93.86 g/day) and 4 (81.14 g/day). Animals on treatments 2 (73.57 g/day) and 3 (79.29 g/day) recorded the least DWG values. All animals gained weight, which indicated that, the intake of energy and proteins were well above maintenance requirements. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) values of rams fed the test diets indicated a significant (P<0.05) difference across the treatments. Animals on treatment 1 gave the best FCR value (10.40) compared to those on the other diets. This was closely followed by those on treatments 4 (15.87) and 5 (14.30). Animals on treatments 2 (17.15) and 3 16.17 recorded the least FCR values. The results of haematological parameters indicated that most of the parameters were within the normal values recommended for sheep indicating that the animals were healthy. From the results of the current study, based on the higher weight gains of 125.86g/day, best feed conversion ratio of 10.40 and normal levels of haematological parameters, diet 1 (40% GH 0% CS) is recommended for growing Yankasa rams.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Hematologic toxicity is the most common side effect of CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i). Due to the novelty of these drugs, additional data are needed to identify potential predisposing factors for the development of hematologic toxicities. Aim: This study aims to investigate potential predisposing factors for the development of hematological toxicity during the administration of CDK4/6i in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Methods: This retrospective descriptive study investigated the application of CDK4/6i in patients with metastatic breast cancer treated at the Breast Department of IORS from 1.1.2021 to 1.6.2024. Results: 128 patients were included in the study; 43% were treated with palbociclib and 57% with ribociclib. The median age was 60 years. Median follow-up was 12 months (range 2-23). Neutropenia was observed in 82.1% of patients and grade 3/4 in 43%. Dose reduction due to repeated grade 3/4 neutropenia was required in 21.1% of subjects. Grade 3/4 anemia and thrombocytopenia were observed in 0.8% and 1.6% of patients. Discontinuation of therapy due to hematological toxicities was necessary in 1.5% of patients. There was no statistically significant difference between the two drugs regarding the incidence of hematological toxicity (p = 0.443). Previous use of chemotherapy in the metastatic phase of the disease was not significantly associated with the frequency of hematological toxicity (p = 0.565). Palliative radiotherapy of bone lesions showed a statistically significant association with the need to reduce the dose of CDK4/6i (p =0.001, r = 0.283). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was not reached, but there was no trend to suggest that CDK4/6i dose reduction affected PFS (p = 0.719) Conclusion: Palliative radiotherapy of bone lesions is associated with more frequent dose reduction of CDK4/6i, but dose reduction of these drugs did not affect the length of survival.

Published: October 2024

The authors review ten broad classes of models that have been used to study potential financial stability risks arising from climate change in the United States. Their lens is primarily methodological: They describe each modeling technique, its advantages and disadvantages, and its key results. They find that statistical methods, based on reduced-form econometrics, are the most used tool, followed by general equilibrium models. While no approach in isolation addresses the complexity of climate-related financial stability risks, they discuss how existing techniques can be combined to inform policymakers and the private sector about climate-related financial stability risks for the United States.

The Role of Middle Class Democratization as a Political Discussion
Authors: Mulyati Kartini
Published: October 2024

The existence of an independent middle class is a prerequisite for democracy. In developing countries, including Indonesia, its existence is too strong. Such conditions can be an obstacle to national development towards democratization. The middle class in Indonesia is not a pure middle class as is understood by the middle class in the West, but a traditional society with traditional culture too (paternalistic and always upward orientation, the ties of primordialism are still strong). Therefore, it is very unlikely that the group in question will be able to act as a pure middle class fighting for the interests of the people at large, fighting for the establishment of democracy, who dare to express opinions, have a bargaining position (bargaining position) towards the government, and who are independent.

Published: October 2024

The effectiveness of administering government affairs is largely determined by the quality of public services by the government agency concerned. The government sector continuously needs to carry out strategic planning, and evaluate itself and improve performance on an ongoing basis so that government goals according to their main tasks and functions and authority can be achieved effectively, efficiently and accountably. In order to create a clean and good government, synergy between three basic elements is needed, namely participation, transparency and accountability. The element of accountability has been outlined in Presidential Instruction No. 7 of 1999 concerning Accountability for the Performance of Government Agencies (AKIP), which essentially requires every government agency as an element of state government administration to be responsible for the implementation of its main tasks and functions, as well as resource management authority based on strategic planning determined by each agency. The accountability in question is in the form of a report submitted to each superior, supervisory institutions and accountability assessors, and finally submitted to the President as Head of Government. The report describes the performance of the government agencies concerned through the Government Agencies Performance Accountability System (SAKIP). It is hoped that this article can add to the repertoire and understanding of related concepts at theoretical and practical levels.

Nilai Pedagogis Kristen dari Budaya Pasue dalam Perayaan Kalela sebagai Dasar Moderasi Beragama bagi Masyarakat Pulau Ndao
Authors: Daud Saleh Luji
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this article is to explain the meaning and Christian pedagogical value of Pasue culture in the lives of the Ndao people which is the basis for religious moderation on Ndao Island. To achieve this goal, the method used is a qualitative method with an auto ethnographic approach. The data collection technique used was interviews with 5 community leaders. The research results show that Pasue culture is a culture that has existed for a long time, and is practiced in the Ndao Island community (Ndao people). At a certain time, namely before the harvest season, there is a Kalela tradition, which is a tradition of visiting friends from one village to another bringing provisions from the harvest. The Christian pedagogical values contained in this culture are: 1) Friendship knows no boundaries, just as Christ called us his friends; 2) Friendship begins with a bond of promise and promises must be steadfast; 3) Chickens are cut and blood Chicken is a symbol (of life) that is shed for togetherness, therefore it must be maintained so that it continues to live together; 4) Eating together is a way to sit side by side in all circumstances, regardless of ethnic or religious differences. These teaching values are the basis for religious moderation in the Ndao Island community or Ndao people.

Objectives: To ascertain the factors affecting disability with low backache among patients visiting tertiary healthcare facilities of Rawalpindi. Subjects & Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was done among 400 patients presenting with low backache in outpatient and emergency department of Holy Family Hospital and Benazir Bhutto Hospital Rawalpindi from September 2021 – February 2022. All cases presenting with low backache were enrolled in the study through consecutive non-probability sampling. Patients with any neurological disorder or mental illness were excluded. Data was collected by means of Oswestry Low back pain Disability Index questionnaire (ODI). Data was analysed by SPSS version 23.0. Descriptive statistics were applied. Mean ± SD of disability index was computed. Differences in mean disability index of the patients with respect to gender, employment and associated leg pain were determined by means of independent sample t-test. P < 0.05 was taken significant. Results: Of the 400 patients with low back pain, 54.3% and 45.7% were females and males respectively. Females had low backpain significantly greater than those of males (P 0.09). About 31% of the cases had back pain for more than 10 years. Their mean disability index was 30.54 ± 18.01 while those of males was 27.6 ± 15.9. The difference between mean disability index of office and field workers was statistically insignificant (P 0.57). Mean disability index of low back pain cases with associated leg pain was significantly higher than those without leg pain (P 0.01). Conclusion: Females are more prone to develop low back pain. Both field and office workers have almost equal risk of developing low backpain.

Published: October 2024

More generally, the study has jumped on the bandwagon to disentangle some of the many ingredients of economic growth by exploring how institutional factors influence economic ones. We utilize time series data spanning from 1984 to 2022, which facilitates our analysis of the correlations between various variables. We draw the conclusions using the Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. Long-run effects on economic growth are present and significant both from government spending-trade openness and corruption perspectives, where trade openness can have a positive impact as well. Factors such as population, gross fixed capita formation, government stability, and inflation shape the net effect on economic growth over time. One of these factors is the institutional variable of government stability, which positively influences economic growth. Furthermore, the process of controlling corruption results in economic contraction. This implies that the higher the level of corruption control, the faster economic growth will occur.

This paper examines WGAN as a more advanced technique for addressing imbalanced data sets in the context of machine learning. A variety of domains, including medical diagnosis and image generation, are affected by the problem of imbalanced datasets since it is essential to represent the minority class to train a satisfactory model and create various types of data. To overcome these challenges WGAN uses some features such as; Residual connections in the critic network, better sampling for minority classes, and some noise and sample reshaping. These innovations contribute to the increased stability of the model, the quality of synthetic data, and the distribution of classes in a dataset. The comparative analysis of WGAN with basic GAN and Improved GAN has shown the effectiveness of the given algorithm in terms of producing high-quality diversified synthetic data that is closer to the real data distribution. The study identifies the future research direction of WGAN in enhancing machine learning based on reliable and diverse synthesized data, providing new insights and directions for future studies and practical applications in tackling data imbalance issues.

The Role of Concepts in the Cognitive Base Summary Concepts play a fundamental role in the formation of the cognitive base. Concepts formed on the basis of human experience also have a great influence on the formation of cognitive knowledge. Only by discovering the world does a person transform it into knowledge, conceptualizing perceived fragments of the world. It can be said that in the early periods the concepts exist in a very primitive form. The change in their character depends on the breadth of experimental possibilities. The more experience, the more colorful the concepts. The process of encoding ideas is carried out according to the same concepts. The concepts belonging to the senders are the main indicators that guide the codes. In decoding processes, codes are also analyzed based on concepts. In short, the encoding-decoding process takes place through the encoding and decoding of the concept. Key words: cognitivism, discourse, concept, conceptsfer, categorization, conceptualization, framework model

Theoretical Foundations of Learning Social Dialects Summary The presented article is devoted to the study of the theoretical foundations of studying social dialects. It is clear that social dialects or sociolects are varietiesof language that characterize certain social groups. These groups can be defined by various criteria, including class, occupation, age, gender, ethnicity, and other social characteristics. The study of social dialects allows us to understand how language reflects and influences the social structure of society. This study examines the theoretical foundations of studying social dialects, including their definition, classification, functions, and research methods. The study of social dialects is an important area of sociolinguistics that provides an understanding of how language reflects and shapes the social structure of society. Social dialects perform important identification, stratification and cultural functions. Various research methods, such as sociolinguistic surveys, linguistic observation, and statistical analysis, provide a broad understanding of this complex and multifaceted topic. The article concludes with the results obtained and a list of references discussing this issue. Key words: social dialect, social hierarchies, ethnicity, social factor, real speech experience

To the Study of Homogeneous Members of Sentences in the Russian Language Summary The article examines syntactic homogeneity as an actualizer of the meaning of a word. Syntactic homogeneity is understood unambiguously: homogeneous, that is, coinciding in syntactic function. A creative connection is revealed between homogeneous members. The single-functionality of components in a coordinative connection presupposes their obligatory semantic one-dimensionality. Thus, homogeneity as a syntactic category is closely connected with semantic homogeneity. This connection is manifested in the fact that homogeneous members of a sentence, as a rule, name concepts of the same type, concepts of the same logical series. Syntactic homogeneity reflects the systemic connections of lexical units. Homogeneous members, along with other units, act as actualizers of word meanings. The intersection of compatibility of homogeneous members often gives the opportunity to choose between two meanings. The factor influencing the performance of the contextual function by an ambiguous element homogeneous to the word being actualized is the inclusion of all its lexical meanings in one lexical-semantic group. Key words: syntactic homogeneity, valency, meaning actualizer, composing connection, contextual activity, single-functionality, system connections
