Published: August 2024

Analysis of production utilization of cows of the Red breeds of cattle in the Russian Federation and regions of their breeding for 2020–2022 has been carried out. Red Steppe breed, Red Gorbatov, Danish Red, Red Estonian, Swedish Red and Suksun breeds were the object of the study. In the farms of all categories and pedigree reproducers among the Red dairy breeds, the earliest age of first calving was reached by the animals of the Danish Red and Swedish Red breeds, later – by the Estonian Red breed, the minimum values of which occurred in 2021 (999 days). The increase in the age of first calving in the period between 2020 and 2022 for the Red Gorbatov breed by 127 days, Danish Red by 46 days and Swedish Red by 55 days is of concern. The Suksun, Red Gorbatov and Swedish Red breeds showed an increase in the age of retirement by 0.92; 1.16 and 0.50 of the calving. It decreased by 0.45–0.60 of the calving in the Danish Red and Estonian Red breeds. The analysis of the service period duration shows that cows of all the breeds had its level above 100 days, with the exception of 2021 for the Swedish Red breed (95 days). In all the Red "root" breeds, the duration from calving to fruitful insemination increased from 2020 to 2022. The greatest increase is observed in the Red Estonian cows (26 days) and Red Gorbatov cows (51 days). A significant increase (by 11 cows) in calf yield from 100 cows of the Danish Red breed in the breeding reproducers should be noted. There was an increase in the age of cow retirement per calving and calf yield by 6.7 calves from every 100 cows in all farm categories in the Suksun breed. Calf yield per 100 cows increased by 9 calves and in the animals of the Swedish Red breed.

Background: Tooth extraction, is a common yet distressing procedure; using appropriate instruments is crucial. While elevators and luxators are typically used, they can cause significant socket damage due to applied force. Periotomes offer less traumatic alternatives, are designed to facilitate extraction with minimal force, reduced soft tissue damage, and better wound healing. Objective: The intention of this research is to assess the effectiveness of periotomes in non-surgical extraction of multi-rooted teeth. Study Design: Randomized controlled experiment. Settings: Department of Oral and maxillofacial Surgery, Lahore Medical and Dental College, Lahore Pakistan. Duration: The study lasted for one year and six months. Methods: This randomized controlled experiment was carried on 120 patients, age range of 16-60; requiring non-surgical extraction of multi-rooted teeth. Patients were randomly assigned to either an investigational group (extractions performed with a periotome and conventional forceps) or a control group (extractions performed using a straight elevator and conventional forceps). The level of pain was evaluated using a visual analogue scale within first week after surgery. Parameters such as gingival tear, length of procedure, consumption of analgesics and complications were also recorded. Results: Comparison of the two groups explored statistically significant variances (p < 0.05) across all parameters. The investigational group showed reduced extraction time, minimizing damage to surrounding bone and soft tissue a significant reduction in postoperative pain (53.7%), while the control group showed an increase in pain (67%). Conclusion: Findings suggest that incorporating periotomes into tooth extractions may reduce post-extraction pain, shorter extraction time and cause negligible injury to surrounding structures.

Authors: Locatelli Guilia , Freire Karine de Mello
Published: August 2024

This study constitutes a segment of a master's research completed in 2023. It presents a theoreticalcritical reflection, through a literature review, regarding the predominantly patriarchal perspective present in the planning and social dynamics of cities. From this observation, its aim is to support the hypothesis that strategic design could act as a facilitator of a city developed by and for women, provided a paradigm shift in these areas through feminism is adopted. Thus, pathways are proposed to promote a more inclusive and gender-sensitive approach in urban design and planning.

Published: August 2024

In the modern world, the transmission of knowledge to new generations requires innovative approaches, supported by the cultural changes of recent years. This article addresses this issue by presenting a case study carried out over 11 years on a design course. The results show that new generations need modern teaching approaches, in addition to the traditional method, which is mainly based on the exposition of concepts and directed readings. Five approaches were tested during the period in question and the results are presented here: using a materials library, analyzing the LCA of materials, building models and prototypes, making educational videos and making comics. The aim is to contribute to the discussion of the teaching practice of materials and manufacturing processes in product design courses.
Rural culture in social media feeds and in the city: some reflections on design and sustainability
Authors: Dias Josana Mattedi Prates , Engler Rita de Castro
Published: August 2024

The article concerns a case study of a store at Velho Mercado Novo (Old New Market) in Belo Horizonte, a recent occupation that reuses spaces and objects in the city’s traditional Mercado Novo. The study of Café Jetiboca reveals a taste for the old, but also the recreation of bonds between the countryside and the city through design. The representation of artisanal, rural culture takes place in multiple scales and supports, in physical and virtual environments. The research framework is the debate between consumerist culture and the search for sustainability. Design theories complement the discussion when they argue for the necessity of cultural reconstruction focusing on daily life and its contexts. When seeking this cultural transformation, the design actions taken show a desire for other ways of life and new habits that value memory instead of constant renewal.

Objective: To assess the physiological effects of examination stress on red blood cells in female medical students at Peoples university of medical and health sciences for women, Nawabshah. Study Design: Comparative Cross Sectional study. Setting: Department of Physiology, Peoples University of Medical & Health Sciences for Women, Shaheed Benazir Abad. Period: 7th April 2019 to 6th October 2019. Methods: A total 110 healthy students of first & Second year MBBS were included for this, by the non-probability randomized sampling technique, divided into two equal (55-students in each) groups A and B first & second year MBBS. Blood samples were collected prior to and during the exam, and the findings were evaluated using statistical software. Results: The mean RBC count ± SD thru the examination of students including the first year was 4.98±0.26 c/cm3, which was considerably higher than the pre-exam mean RBC count ±SD of 4.65±0.27 c/cm3. There was a small rise in RBC count throughout the examination compared to before (n = 55, p-value = 0.031) among the first-year students. During the second year examination, students had a mean RBC count ± SD of 4.67±0.28 c/cm3, which was not substantially higher than the pre-exam mean of 4.66±0.33 c/cm3. There was no significant increase in RBC count throughout the examination compared to before it among 2nd year students (n = 55, p-value = 0.932). Conclusion: Findings of study concluded that examination stress significantly affects first-year medical students' red blood cell (RBC) count, increasing it during exams, but not second-year students. This suggests varying physiological responses to stress, possibly due to academic adaptation or stress levels.
