Published: June 2024

Дезінвазійна обробка є однією з ключових ланок поряд з задаванням протиеймеріозних препаратів в боротьбі з еймеріозом птиці. Для ефективного використання дезінфікуючих засобів проти еймерій важлива їх постійна зміна та ротація за діючими речовинами, щоб запобігти виникненню явища резистентності у еймерій. В статті наведені дані щодо розробки засобів боротьби з еймеріозом птиці з використанням дезінфікуючого засобу Суходез. В складі дезінфікуючого засобу, який випускає вітчизняна науково-виробнича фірма «Бровафарма», міститься хлорамін, тимол, сульфат міді, сульфат заліза, сульфат дигідрат кальцію, цеоліт, каолін, ароматизатор. Під час проведення дослідів була проведена перевірка ефективності дії зазначеного засобу на ооцисти Eimeria tenella в концентрації від 0,5 до 3,0 % за експозицій від 10 хвилин до 4 годин. Для досліджень, спрямованих на визначення ефективності дії дезінфектанту на ооцисти Eimeria tenella відібрали проби матеріалу від курей породи Род-Айленд віком 9-12 місяців, з присадибних господарств мешканців Сумського району. Для встановлення діагнозу на еймеріоз використовували лабораторні дослідження посліду птиці за методом Фюллеборна. Для визначення показника дезінвазійної ефективності 10-15 екземплярів ооцист Eimeria tenella поміщали у чашки Петрі додавали розчин Суходезу відповідної концентрації, що слугували відповідними дослідними групами. Контролем слугували чашках Петрі з додаванням аналогічної кількість ооцист, проте замість розчину дезінфектанту до них додавали 5 см3 дистильованої води. Коли закінчувався час експозиції, то чашки з ооцистами промивали п’ять разів та переносили проби на споруляцію в термостат, де їх утримували протягом п’яти діб за температури 26°С, щоденно здійснюючи контроль рівня вологи. Використання 2,5 % концентрації Суходезу забезпечило дезінвазійний ефект за експозиції 60 хв, в свою чергу 3 % концентрація дезінфектанту спричинила порушення цілісності еймерій вже при експозиції 30 хвилин, аналогічний ефект був відмічений і при більший експозиції, що свідчить про ефективність дезінфікуючого засобу Суходез. Відповідно дезінфікуючий засіб Суходез у досліджуваних концентраціях (2-3 %) спричиняє уповільнення та повністю припиняє розвиток ооцист Eimeria tenella та спричинює їх подальший лізис і, таким чином, може бути рекомендований до впровадження у виробництво.

Регулювання складу кишкової мікрофлори є однією з поширених практик, яка застосовуються для попередження дизбактеріозу, підвищення продуктивності та росту поросят. Пробіотики покращують здоров’я кишечника, сприяють засвоюванню поживних речовин та мають антиоксидантний ефект. Експериментальні дослідження проводили в умовах віварію Сумського національного аграрного університету. Вісім свиноматок утримували з підсисними поросятами, які отримували стартовий комбікорм та експериментальні пробіотичні добавки. Визначали біохімічні показники крові корів у корів та свиноматок на початку та по закінченню дослідження. Встановлено, що пробіотики сприяли збільшенню вмісту загального білка та альбуміну у поросят першої дослідної групи був вірогідно вище на 14,39-16,74 %, другої – на 12,38-19,55 %, третьої – на 13,40-30,66 % (р≤0,05), четвертої – на 5,08-30,26 %, п’ятої – на 5,37-23,41 %, порівняно з контролем. Вміст глобулінів був вище у поросят першої дослідної та другої групи на 12,56-7,07 %, відповідно. Вміст сечовини та загального холестерину у крові поросят дослідних та контрольної груп був у межах фізіологічної норми. Рівень глюкози у першій дослідній групі рівень глюкози був вище на 21,84 %, другій – на 3,64 %, четвертій – на 26,05 %, п’ятій – на 18,21 %. Активність ферменту АЛТ була менше у першій дослідній групі на 23,27 %, другої – на 34,48 %, третьої – на 40,51 %, четвертої – на 19,82 %, п’ятої – на 29,31 % (р≤0,05). Вміст АСТ був більше у крові поросят першої дослідної групи на 5,92 % та у третьої – на 11,11 %, менше у другій – на 9,62 %, у четвертій – на 27,40 %. Активність ЛФ була нижче у першій групі на 10,69 %, в другій – на 16,32 %(р≤0,05), в третій – на 3,30 %, в четвертій – на 12,14 %, в п’ятій – на 5,65 %. Кількість ЦІК була більше у першій групі на 81,81 %, в другій – на 45,45 %, в тертій – на 63,63 %, в четвертій – на 27,27 %, в п’ятій – на 9,09 %. У поросят дослідних груп зменшився рівень серомукоїдів у першій на 42,41 %, у другій – на 36,84 %, у третій – на 26,31%, у четвертій – на 31,57 %, у п’ятій – на 26,31%.
ВПЛИВ БІОЛОГІЧНО АКТИВНИХ РЕЧОВИН НА ВУГЛЕВОДНО-ЛІПІДНИЙ ОБМІН В ОРГАНІЗМІ КОРІВ У ПЕРІОД СУХОСТОЮ

Published: June 2024

Проведенні дослідження дозволили встановити, що тільність корів супроводжується активним рівнем обміну ліпідів. Загальна кількість ліпідів у крові тварин була в 1,12 рази, в 1,18–1,22 рази більше у дослідних тварин. Вміст триацилгліцерідів в крові тварин дослідних і контрольних тварин коливався незначно. Депонована енергії, на раціонах корів з біологічно активними речовинами менше використовувалась. НЕЖК у крові корів дослідних груп було – в 1,06, в 1,20 та в 1,21 рази менше, ніж у контрольних тварин (р<0,05). Введення в раціон корів БАВ в період сухостою позитивно вплинула на жировий метаболізм. Метаболізм вуглеводів також зазнав значних змін за умов введення добавок. Вміст глюкози у крові корів дослідних груп, знизися у порівняні з показниками крові тварин контрольної групи, в 1,03, в 1,09 та в 1,12 рази (р<0,05). Коливання вмісту лактату (кінець останнього місячна тільності) у дослідних корів було незначним – 1,28-1,32 %. Про підвищення ефективності використання полісахарів свідчить вміст пірувату у корів дослідних груп. Його вміст знижувався в 1,04 – 1,07 рази у дослідних тварин, 3 та 4 групи. Зміни зазнав енергетичні пул дослідних корів до моменту завершення тільності. Дихання у дослідних корів виявилося на 3,57%, на 5,36%, на 5,36% більше. У контрольних тварин дихальний об’єм легень був в 1,09, в 1,12 рази (р<0,01), та в 1,22 рази (р<0,01), менше, ніж у дослідних корів. Такий стан речей пов’язано з високим рівнем метаболічних процесів щодо ліпідів. Важливим є те, що сурфактант легень синтезується з жирних кислот, підвищує функціональну активність легень і забезпечує високий рівень вентиляції легень. Аерація в першу чергу забезпечується дихальним об’ємом. У дослідних тварин дихальний об’єм легень в 1,13, в 1,18 (р<0,05) та в 1,28 рази (р<0,01) більше, ніж у контрольних корів, що, на нашу думку, вливає на формування сурфактантної системи легень. Вірогідно більший дихальний об’єм легень у дослідних корів підвищив споживання Оксигену, 1,072, в 1,13 та в 1,18 рази, і знизив у даних тварин енергетичні витрати, в 1,12, в 1,13 та в 1,17 рази (р<0,05). Активація біологічно активними добавками ліпідно-вуглеводного обміну в організмі корів, впливає на забезпечення плоду будівельним та енергетичним матеріалом і сприяє у формуванні функціонально активних телят. Пул ліпідів у крові новонароджених телят отриманих від корів дослідних груп – в 1,03, в 1,09 рази більше даного показника контрольних телят. У телят дослідних груп вміст НЕЖК у крові було – в 1,06, в 1,09, в 1,08 рази менше. β-ліпопротеїдів у крові контрольних телят було в 1,15 рази, в 1,18 рази та в 1,22 рази менше (р<0,05) дослідних тварин.
Equity-related Benefits of Public Transit Expansion: An Exploration of Post-secondary Student Travel Behavior Between 2015 and 2019 in the Toronto Region
Authors: Hamehkasi Bahareh
Published: June 2024

This study compared transit equality before and after the Toronto-York Spadina Extension. I examine the equal distribution of subway ridership increase by socioeconomic status from 2015 to 2019. StudentMoveTO survey (Mitra et al, 2020) and Ontario margonalization Index are the key data sources ( Matheson et al., 2022). First, I look at public transit use at six universities in Toronto region. Second, I study the socio-demographic characteristics of subway riders from 2015 to 2019 on Keele campus. Using hot spot analysis, Generalized linear regression, and geographically weighted regression, I examine student subway use and if growth is correlated with socially excluded neighbourhoods. The study indicated an increase in subway use among post-secondary students to/from six campuses, especially among female, trans, and non-binary students and students with less than $30K family income who use subway to commute to/from York University's Keele campus. The data show that the relationship between student subway use and marginalised neighbourhoods varies by census tract. Most areas don't see a strong positive association between marginalisation index and the growth in using subway among the student.
Urban Agriculture and the Neighbourhood Context: A Geodemographic Approach to the City of Toronto
Authors: Kennedy Benjamin
Published: June 2024

This study seeks to create a geodemographic classification of the City of Toronto in Ontario, Canada at the Dissemination Areas level in order to assess the distribution of urban agriculture projects across the city. The study uses an iterative process to assess and select variables for a two-tiered k-means clustering process to create a series of five Supergroups with three associated subgroups each. The dominant characteristics of each group are then used to analyze the populations which are over or under-served in regard to urban agriculture projects. The study advances two primary hypotheses: 1) that lower income neighbourhoods with lower overall densities will have a high proportion of urban agriculture projects and 2) that privately-run urban agriculture sites will exist primarily in both high density and higher-income areas towards the centre of the city.
The Relationship of Socio-Demographic and Health (Asthma, Diabetes, & High Blood Pressure) in Toronto - a Quantitative and Spatial Approach
Authors: Xin Yong
Published: June 2024

Many literature and research indicate that health rates frequently follow a distinguishing socioeconomic gradient, where health is influenced by an individual's socioeconomic status (SES) and those of lower SES are more at risk to illness. The purpose of this research was to assess (within a bivariate and spatial context) how sociodemographic profiles influence asthma, diabetes, and high blood pressure rates in the City of Toronto. The objectives of this study were summed up in two questions; (1) "is there a spatial pattern to the rates of diabetes, asthma, and high blood pressure at the neighbourhood level in Toronto?" and (2) "are any socio-economic variables that can explain the patterns observed? And if so, which ones?". Toronto health rate variables were obtained from the OCHPP while sociodemographic variables were acquired from open-source data archives for the year 2016. The analysis was multi-step where the initial steps (bivariate regression and PCA) were for data reduction. The third step - measures of spatial autocorrelation (i.e. Moran's I) were tested on dependent variables to explore whether any broad spatial patterns existed. The final multivariate analysis modeled relationships between health measures and the SES measures. The first question was found to be true, where the Moran's I test and tests for spatial dependency indicated the presence of spatial autocorrelation and spatial dependence. However, the second question had somewhat mixed results as there was a lack of spatial significance regarding the correlation of the sociodemographic variables and health rates. Future research should rely less on socioeconomic variables being the main indicator of health rates and assess other causations such as lifestyle variables or geographic factors. 
Incendiary: A Digital Graphic Novel
Authors: Zaharuk Michael
Published: June 2024

The convergence of digital media with activism has become a powerful tool for social movements over the years. From the Arab Spring protests of 2010 to Black Lives Matter, digital media has been utilised extensively for the dissemination of activist ideas and agendas (Eltantawy, 2011). 

Illustration has enjoyed a long relationship to activism. The role of the artist as activist, seeking positive change through illustration, has been a long-standing tradition, from Victorian-era Punch cartoons to modern advocacy and social awareness campaigns (Scott, 2016). 

Graphic novels also have a long, kinetic history in advocating for progressive causes. The 1980 graphic novel Maus by Art Spiegelman, for example, brought widespread awareness about the horrors of the Holocaust to young audiences. It has since served as a trailblazer for comics that deal with disturbing societal issues such as racism or war (Geis, 2007).

For my Major Research Project I have set out to explore the graphic novel as a form of digital art and storytelling and will also examine its relationship to digital media and activism. In particular, my MRP focuses on creating a digital comic sample based around the ideas of three prominent American progressives. 

The working title of my comic is Incendiary – American Progressives and Radicals. This project will explore the ideas of three figures of the American left: Richard Wolff, Emma Goldman and Malcolm X. 

As an instructor of Illustrative Activism at the Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCAD U) for more than ten years, I have witnessed a dramatic increase in the prevalence of activist content on digital media platforms and the use of digital tools in content production. Digital media, borderless and often without cost to consumers, has the capacity to reach larger and ever-growing audiences (Eltantawy, 2011). 

Digital activism strives to affect positive change through digital media. This activism has the ability to help shape a more just and equitable society (Eltantawy, 2011). 

Additionally, digital platforms and websites have become essential to the livelihoods of many creative content providers who want to remain relevant with readers, and viewers (Carton, 2020). 

Social platforms such as Instagram, Patreon and Kickstarter are among the many digital platforms artists now use to attract and grow audiences. Many of these sites are free, democratising the ability of creatives to reach new people and markets (Carton, 2020). 

As a working artist, my desire to remain relevant in my field of practice and attract new audiences has motivated me to use new digital tools and technologies to create, produce and display my work. 

Michael CarterLike many artists who learned their craft through traditional tools and practices, I recognize the importance of showcasing my work on a wide range of digital platforms and frequently use digital technology to enhance or hasten my work process.

Mangroves of the Tropical East Pacific (TEP) province is a regional ecosystem subgroup (Level 4 unit of the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology), present in the coastal ecoregions of the Mexican Tropical Pacific, Chiapas-Nicaragua, Nicoya, Panama Bight, and Guayaquil. In 2020, mangroves cover 7782 km2 in the province, representing 5.3% of the global coverage. In the province, there are eight true mangrove species; however, regional experts recognize other related plants classified as associated plants. The IUCN Red List includes 224 species (217 Animalia and seven Plantae species), supported by records in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility GBIF. It is estimated that the mangroves of the TEP showed a net change of -1.9% from 1996 to 2020; under this trend, a decrease of 3.3% is projected in 50 years, which is below 30%, classifying criterion A2 as least concern. However, based on indicative figures, a decrease of around 40% was estimated in the last 50 years (1970-2020); which as this exceeds 30%, the mangroves are vulnerable under Criterion A1. Although threats such as deforestation, human activities, pollution, infrastructure development, modification of natural systems, and invasion of exotic species are reported, none promote total disappearance; therefore, criteria B3 is classified as least concern. In a sea-level rise scenario (IPCC RCP8.5), ≈ 9.8% of the TEP mangroves would be submerged by 2060, which is below the 30% risk threshold for criterion C2. Furthermore, 1.5% of the province's mangrove is suffering degradation, with the potential to increase to 4.5% over 50-year period; this ranks the mangroves as least concern under criterion D2b. Overall, the Tropical East Pacific mangrove ecosystem was assessed as Vulnerable (VU) with the available information. It is considered that there is insufficient data to assess the other criteria, therefore, it is recommended to update the data to increase the precision of the evaluation and enable the quantitative analysis of risks.
Perceptions of Hungarian Political Elites of the EU’s Foreign and Security Policy during the War in Ukraine
Authors: Özoflu Melek Aylin , Arató Krisztina
Published: June 2024

The outbreak of the Russia–Ukraine war as a geopolitical confrontation between the East and the West has necessitated a reconfiguration of the EU’s global role and actorness and its foreign and security policy priorities. Such a recalibration necessarily involves defining how the EU is perceived by national political elites. Therefore, this chapter examines how Hungarian political elites perceive the EU’s actorness and foreign and security policy priorities concerning the specific challenges of the Russia–Ukraine war. To this end, it conducts a critical discourse analysis of the minutes of parliamentary debates to consider statements uttered by elected members from both the opposition and the government within the Hungarian national parliament. The selected timeframe of the analysis covers the period from the outbreak of the crisis, 24 February 2022, to the Hungarian national consultation on EU sanctions against Russia, 15 January 2023.
The Ambivalent ‘Eurosceptics’ of the EU’s ‘Inner Periphery: Assessing Perceptions of the EU among Political Elites in Romania during Turbulent Times
Authors: Butnaru Troncotă Miruna , Cucută Radu-Alexandru
Published: June 2024

The nature of perceptions of the EU among Romania’s elites is an under-studied and seldom explored issue. The central research question of this chapter is whether the major events of the 2020–2022 interval (marked by the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the war in Ukraine, and the rejection of Romania’s second attempt to join the Schengen area) have altered Romanian elites’ perceptions of the EU. The empirical part discusses qualitative data resulting from ten semi-structured interviews, analysed in relation to three main theoretical taxonomies of political party attitudes towards the EU – those of Kopecký and Mudde (2002), Lubbers and Scheepers (2005), and Krouwel and Abts (2007) – to highlight the particularities of Romanian Eurosceptic discourse and its ambivalent nature.
Republic of Moldova: The Challenges of a Periphery’s Shifting Identity, from the Russian Federation’s Sphere of Influence to EU Accession
Authors: Toderaș Nicolae , Pascal Daniel
Published: June 2024

In this chapter, Moldova’s EU path is analysed from a historiographical perspective, emphasizing recent developments. A hypothesis about the political elite’s view of Moldova’s irreversible EU accession process was explored in nine structured interviews with political leaders. The discussion revolved around seven core elements, including their perception of the EU and the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Moldova–EU relations. The analysis reveals that Moldova’s intensified EU relations result largely from shifting regional contexts rather than being driven by internal political elites. For Moldova, the EU is seen as a peace guarantor and internal policy standard. While the EU alignment appears irreversible, reservations exist about the pace of reform during EU negotiations, particularly if the government changes. Overall, internal political determination is key to overcoming Moldova’s peripheral EU status.
Rather Lukewarm: Shifting Perceptions towards the EU among Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Political Elites
Authors: Jahić Hatidža , Muminović Adnan
Published: June 2024

In 2019, the European Commission endorsed Bosnia and Herzegovina’s (BiH’s) EU membership application, seen as a significant step. However, subsequent progress stalled as the country failed to address the 14 key priorities outlined in the Opinion. In 2022, in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the EU granted BiH candidate status. Surprisingly, local political elites displayed lukewarm enthusiasm, prompting research to understand their evolving attitudes towards EU integration. Using the external incentives model, seven interviews were conducted with diverse members of parliament. Findings reveal a decline in political support for EU integration, with elites perceiving BiH as unwelcome in the EU and doubting the impact of local efforts. Geopolitical shifts are deemed crucial for accelerated integration, posing challenges to BiH’s EU aspirations despite stable public support.

Published: June 2024

Background & objective: Stroke is a leading cause of death and a serious disability for adults. However, it is preventable and manageable, provided a complete updated profile (incidence, prevalence, and long-term outcome) of the disease is in our hands. The present study was therefore undertaken to assess the demographic, clinical characteristics, and outcome of the stroke patients admitted to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Medicine, over a period of 12 months between January 2004 and December 2004 at the Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Dhaka. The study sample consisted of 101 stroke patients who were admitted to the Green Medicine Unit of DMCH. However, stroke patients who were too severely debilitated or in a state of stupor were not allowed to participate in the study. Through pertinent clinical laboratory and imaging tests, stroke risk variables were evaluated. The outcome was evaluated in terms of the number of patients cured, died, or remained static.
Result: There was no significant difference between ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke patients in terms of age (p = 0.658), sex (p = 0.276) and diurnal variation of its occurrence (p = 0.490). While diabetes mellitus and ischaemnic heart diseases were generally associated with haemorrhagic stroke (p = 0.039 and p = 0.056 respectively), hypertension was more or less common in ischemic stroke (p = 0.176). In both groups, hemiplegia was the most frequent cause of admission, after coma. While seizures were more common in the ischemia group, vomiting was a more common manifestation in the hemorrhagic group. The majority of patients in both groups maintained a steady pulse and normal blood pressure. The total cholesterol level was relatively greater in the ischemic group than in the hemorrhagic group. The mean HDL level in the hemorrhagic group was significantly higher than in the ischemic cohort. However, there was no appreciable difference in serum LDL and Tg levels across the groups. A substantial proportion of patients in both groups had to stay in the hospital for a brief period (10 or < 10 days). After receiving treatment, nearly 85% of the patients in the hemorrhagic group and 76.3% of the patients in the ischemic group were cured; some 5.5% in the ischemic group and 4.3% in the haemorrhagic group died of the disease.
Conclusion: The study concluded that smoking, uncontrolled hypertension, and diabetes mellitus are the three main risk factors for stroke. After a median treatment of 7 days, most patients in both the hemorrhagic and ischemic groups recovered, leaving a few to die of the disease. The risk of stroke can significantly be reduced by lowering blood pressure, treating diabetes, and giving up smoking.

Towards Auditing Firm Success: Factors That Reduce Auditors’ Intention to Leave
Authors: Eseryel U. Yeliz , Erkan-Barlow Asligul , Johnson-Snyder Anna J. , Killingsworth Brenda L. , Reed April H.
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the factors that reduce an auditor’s intention to leave the company, thereby addressing the challenges of hiring experts and the great resignation that may jeopardize auditing firm success. We surveyed 63 auditors regarding the impact of their membership esteem and status on the decision-making and consensus-building process and their intention to leave the auditing firm. While higher membership esteem is linked with increased expression of disagreements between the auditor and the lead engagement reviewer, higher status is associated with higher decision-making consensus. Although the auditors’ decision-making consensus does not relate to their intentions to leave the auditing firm, a higher status increases their likelihood of leaving. In contrast, higher membership esteem is associated with lower intentions to leave the company. Our findings underscore the importance of developing higher membership esteem among auditors to reduce auditor attrition.

Published: June 2024

As the growing popularity of lifestyle YouTube influencers risks the possibility of over-saturation of sponsored content on YouTube, brands should determine the effectiveness of influencers and identify the characteristics of lifestyle YouTube influencers to make sponsored content successful. Drawing upon parasocial relationship theory, this study incorporates match-up hypothesis and source credibility theories to determine characteristics of lifestyle YouTube influencers and their content that increase their audience engagement and makes social media influencer marketing effective. Using the content analysis of lifestyle YouTube influencers, this study reveals that micro-influencers have a higher engagement with their audience through parasocial relationships than mega and macro-influencers.

With the ability of resources owned by Indonesia, especially natural resources, population, and geographical location is very strategic, making Indonesia ambitious to become one of the economic strengths in the region.

Authors: Legowo Poerwaningsih S. , Heatubun Adolf B.
Published: June 2024

A study has been conducted in Riau Province in 2016 - 2018. One of the objectives of this research is to provide alternative policies for the regional government of Riau Province to encourage regional economic growth. The system of simultaneous econometric modeling is used and estimated by the method of Two Stage Least Squares and SIMNLIM method for simulation using 33 years time series data (1984 - 2016). The results showed that the alternative policy of increasing 10% tax revenue increased local revenue by 8.32% and government expenditure by 0.43%. Conversely, an increase in tax revenues has an impact on reducing public consumption by 0.10%, which in turn decreases RGDP by 0.01%. However, the decline in RGDP did not contribute to the decline in investment. The accumulated impact of the decline in consumption and the increase in private investment caused public savings to increase by a relatively small 0.03% so that the interest rate dropped 0.27%. The impact of the decline in RGDP caused the demand for money to decline by 0.04%. Keywords: tax revenue, the impact of change, regional economic growth, economic fluctuations, short term
