The Social Dimension of Sports Depicted in the Statements of the Participants in the Conference Organized by the State Office of Physical Education and Military (17–19 December 1929)
Authors:   Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Poland, Litwiński Robert , Napora Monika ,   Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Poland
Published: July 2023

The social dimension of sports in the interwar period included both physical education and competitive sport itself – activities which promptly were placed in the center of interest of the Polish Army of the reborn Polish Commonwealth, as they were to serve both improving athleticism and health of the society (both women and men), and at the same time increase the defense potential of the country. This strategy was implemented in multiple countries – such an approach of the heads of the states was characteristic for this period. It is a fact that Józef Pilsudski’s having seized control of the country allowed the military to monopolize the authority over issues concerned with preparing the society for potential war. Moreover, it influenced the dynamization of works in the area. The State Office of Physical Education and Military, created in 1927 to coordinate the common physical education and military preparation, was playing a major role in this aspect. After a dozen of months of functioning, it had been established that the introduced changes needed to be evaluated, which became a major topic at a special conference taking place in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and The Headquarters of The Polish Riflemen's Association. The conclusions drawn at the conference were to introduce improvements to the current solutions in the areas of physical education, premilitary training and sports.
Guidelines for Auditing the Handling of Electronic Documents as a Result of Changes Postulated by the Archives Community
Authors:   Pedagogical University of Krakow, Drzewiecka Dorota
Published: July 2023

The emergence of legal acts on the computerisation of public administration in Poland, the spread of electronic documentation and various types of IT tools and electronic document management systems have not always improved the performance of office activities and the documentation of cases. The lack of guidance on the rules for archival audits of electronic records, which are collected, produced and stored differently in the organisational units under archival supervision, has resulted in a marked diversity in the verification and description of data collected during archival audits. The article includes examples of problems raised by the archives community and attempts to analyse guidelines for carrying out controls on the handling of electronic documents.

Published: July 2023

Despite being common cutaneous findings in the hospital setting, cutaneous drug eruptions have not been thoroughly validated for administrative claims data. The purpose of this study was to validate primary discharge diagnoses for the ICD code rash or other nonspecific eruptions by finding the positive predictive value (PPV) and to determine how often it was used to indicate an eruption that was eventually determined to be a drug eruption. Two dermatologists independently examined each of 39 hospital patient encounters to assess the validity of the ICD code used by stating whether the code used was appropriate or inappropriate, per table 1 criteria. Since in most patients, a drug eruption was suspected, the Naranjo Adverse Drug Reaction Probability Scale was utilized to externally validate our findings. Our results yielded a PPV for nonspecific rashes of 94.87% (83.11-98.58%) for appropriateness of use. The mean Naranjo score for appropriately versus inappropriately coded cases was 5.7 versus 2.5, respectively, with a mean difference of 3.17568 (0.18833-6.16302), (pooled P-value = 0.0378). Out of the cases analyzed, 29/39 or 74% were confirmed to be drug-related. Our high PPV supports the validity of non-specific eruptions found in national patient databases and the high Naranjo criteria suggest that often, these eruptions are drug related, yet not confirmed at the point of discharge.
Exploring the Possible Role of Hybridization in the Evolution of Photosynthetic Pathways in Flaveria (Asteraceae), the Prime Model of C4 Photosynthesis Evolution
Authors: Morales-Briones Diego F. , Kadereit Gudrun
Published: July 2023

Flaveria (Asteraceae) is the prime model for the study of C4 photosynthesis evolution and seems to support a stepwise acquisition of the pathway through C3-C4 intermediate phenotypes, still existing in Flaveria today. Molecular phylogenies of Flaveria based on concatenated data matrices are currently used to reconstruct the complex sequence of trait shifts during C4 evolution. To assess the possible role of hybridization in C4 evolution in Flaveria, we re-analyzed transcriptome data of 17 Flaveria species to infer the extent of gene tree discordance and possible reticulation events. We found massive gene tree discordance as well as reticulation along the backbone and within clades containing C3-C4 intermediate and C4-like species. An early hybridization event between two C3 species might have triggered C4 evolution in the genus. The clade containing all C4 species plus the C4-like species F. vaginata and F. palmeri is highly supported in our phylogenetic analyses, but it might be of hybrid origin involving F. angustifolia and F. sonorensis (both C3-C4 intermediate) as parental lineages. Hybridization seems to be a driver of C4 evolution in Flaveria and likely promoted the fast acquisition of C4 traits. This new insight can be used in further exploring C4 evolution and can inform C4 bioengineering efforts.

Published: July 2023

The photovoltaic effect plays a significant role in power generation by using solar PV modules. The two most popular types of PV panels majorly available in the market: Glass-to-Tedlar (G-T) and Glass-to-Glass (G-G) type. Both G-T and G-G type of modules are rigid in structure due to the involvement of transparent glass cover on the top of the module. In order to have non rig-id or flexible type of module, a module structure with aluminum as base and transparent plastic sheet at the top has been taken which is known as flexible type of PV module (F-Al). The use of plastic and aluminum makes these modules more flexible and lighter in weight as compared with G-T and G-G type of PV modules. The advantage of using F-Al PV module is that it can easily be modified into desired shapes. Initially, the mathematical modeling of F-Al PV module has been developed on Simulink. The different set of data for these three types of modules has been taken for analyzing the performance of these modules. The performance analysis of G-T type, G-G type and F-Al type of PV modules have been compared in terms of efficiency, cell temperature, daily energy production. The maximum electrical efficiency has been observed with G-G PV module. It is also observed that being with flexible nature, efficiencies of F-Al PV modules are almost comparable with G-T modules. The cell temperature of F-Al PV module and G-T PV module is found to be larger than G-G module. The daily electrical energy produc-tion was found to be more with G-G module in comparison to G-T and F-Al PV modules for a typical day in the month of April, 2019. It is also observed that due to flexible nature of F-Al module, efficiency is also converging faster towards regression line in comparison to G-G and G-T module. Further, efficiency and daily energy consumption of all three modules of PV panel are realized through artificial neural network (ANN). It is observed that least mean square error (MSE) is obtained with F-Al in comparison to G-G and G-T under the implication of ANN. Therefore, additional feature of least MSE for F-Al makes its preferable over others.
Experimental performance evaluation of water source heat pumps in different circumstances and comparison to air source heat pumps
Authors: SALEH Ahmad
Published: July 2023

This study aims to present a novel experimental method for studying the performance of wa-ter source heat pumps which have not received sufficient attention, although this is particu-larly important for hot regions with great potential of hot water sources. The experimental model has special characteristics as it allows to investigate the performance of heat pumps under different operating conditions and allows a comparison between different types of heat pumps without the need to install a ground heat exchanger. The ground heat exchanger is known to be the most expensive part of any experimental model. In addition to that, it only allows to study the performance under specific conditions. The ground heat exchanger was replaced by a secondary heat pump that allows to provide an environment that simulates the different operating conditions of different types of heat pumps. It was found that water source heat pumps are more efficient than air source heat pumps with efficiency that increases with increasing water source temperature. It was found that increasing the water source tempera-ture from 5 to 20 oC, improved the rate of heat extracted from the water source by 11.3% and the coefficient of performance by 2.8% for each degree. Another important feature of water source heat pumps is the stability of the energy flow rates, which is a guarantee of higher sea-sonal performance coefficients. It can be concluded that hot regions with high potential of hot water sources has valuable opportunities to invest in the field of water source heat pumps with the consequent significant energy savings.

Published: July 2023

AIM: To investigate the aldose reductase (AR) inhibition capacity of astragalin (AST) against streptozoticin-induced diabetic cataracts (DCs) in rats.
METHODS: Ex vivo investigations were conducted by treating the lens of a goat placed for 72h in artificial aqueous humor (AAH) of pH 7.8 at room temperature with cataract-causing substance (55 mmol/L of galactose) and in vivo studies were performed on rats via induction with streptozotocin. AST was administered at different dose levels and scrutinize for DC activity.
RESULTS: In diabetic rats, AST improved the body weight, blood insulin, and glucose as well as the levels of galactitol in a dose-dependent way, other biochemical parameters i.e. inflammatory mediators and cytokines, and also suppress AR activity. The level of the antioxidant parameters such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione (GSH) activity were also altered on a diabetic lens after the administration of the AST.
CONCLUSION: AST protects against lens opacification to avoid cataracts and polyols formation, indicating that it could be used as a potential therapeutic agent for diabetes.

AIM: To assess the performance of a bespoke software for automated counting of intraocular lens (IOL) glistenings in slit-lamp images.
METHODS: IOL glistenings from slit-lamp-derived digital images were counted manually and automatically by the bespoke software. The images of one randomly selected eye from each of 34 participants were used as a training set to determine the threshold setting that gave the best agreement between manual and automatic grading. A second set of 63 images, selected using randomised stratified sampling from 290 images, were used for software validation. The images were obtained using a previously described protocol. Software-derived automated glistenings counts were compared to manual counts produced by three ophthalmologists.
RESULTS: A threshold value of 140 was determined that minimised the total deviation in the number of glistenings for the 34 images in the training set. Using this threshold value, only slight agreement was found between automated software counts and manual expert counts for the validating set of 63 images (κ=0.104, 95%CI, 0.040-0.168). Ten images (15.9%) had glistenings counts that agreed between the software and manual counting. There were 49 images (77.8%) where the software overestimated the number of glistenings.
CONCLUSION: The low levels of agreement show between an initial release of software used to automatically count glistenings in in vivo slit-lamp images and manual counting indicates that this is a non-trivial application. Iterative improvement involving a dialogue between software developers and experienced ophthalmologists is required to optimise agreement. The results suggest that validation of software is necessary for studies involving semi-automatic evaluation of glistenings.
Multicultural London English and New-Dialect Formation
Authors: Cheshire Jenny
Published: July 2023

Peter Trudgill has suggested that a number of the processes involved in new-dialect formation may be of a widespread or universal type. Multicultural London English (MLE) is a new dialect that emerged in a different and more complex sociolinguistic situation than those considered previously, so it provides an opportunity to further consider the extent to which the processes are widespread or universal. I argue that the characteristic features of MLE emerged as a result of dialect mixture, including traditional London English, colonial and creole-influenced varieties of English, and many different interlanguage varieties of English. Some MLE features confirm the relevance of the levelling of minority forms, and perhaps also of simplification. There is also evidence of drift. Above all, their emergence confirms the importance of linguistic accommodation in face-to-face interactions. In this, as for so many sociolinguistic issues, Peter Trudgill was right!
Complex Natural Systems for Language
Authors: Dziubalska-Kołaczyk Katarzyna , Kretzschmar William A.
Published: July 2023

In this paper we want to show how complex systems theory can inform the theoretical development in natural phonology. This development leads us to propose complex natural systems modelling for language. We explain how complex systems help us understand both theoretical concepts from natural phonology, for example the concept of preference, as well as variation in language data, for example in English vowel realizations and Polish consonant clusters. We select from our respective research areas those exemplifications which clearly demonstrate substantial variation in language use.
Euphemising Ageing in Popular and Academic Publications on the Life Course: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Kiełkiewicz-Janowiak Agnieszka
Published: July 2023

According to age studies expert Margaret Morganroth Gullette (2004) the social ideology of ageing as decline—and the concomitant anxiety—is affecting people increasingly early on in their lives. A linguistic way of coping is through minimising the threatening impact of words. This paper focuses on how life course scholars apply euphemisms to refer to age-related identities and issues. Additionally, in the background of our inquiry are two questions: (1) whether and how these authors engage in metalinguistic comment, and (2) whether they explicitly acknowledge the constitutive role of language and discourse. The conclusions suggest that there is some explicit recognition of the significance of language use for the social attitudes and behaviour related to ageing. Besides their personal choice of euphemisms, authors have used other discursive means to write non-evaluatively about ageing, as well as make informed comments about strategies present in the public sphere, perceived as euphemistic. Most importantly, this exploratory paper is to probe the interdisciplinary context of the ways scholars refer sensitively to ageing.
Language Evolution Over the Lifespan: Experimental Approach to Lexical Richness in Spanish
Authors: Moreno-Fernández Francisco
Published: July 2023

This paper aims to contribute to the knowledge of linguistic change over the lifespan by means of panel studies. The analysis offered presents two elements that have received little treatment within the field. On the one hand, the analysis is interested in the evolution or development of the lexicon in dialogical speech; on the other hand, the analysis is carried out on material from a panel study on the Spanish language. This text analyzes the evolution of lexical richness by means of an exploratory panel study based on semi-guided interviews carried out in Madrid, a Spanish city included in the framework of the international PRESEEA project.

Published: July 2023

Background: There are many kinds of medicinal animal resources, which are an important part of traditional Chinese medicine resources (TCM). However, the use of medicinal animals in TCM, especially wild animals, has become a sensitive problem at home and abroad. Systematic analysis on the research status and direction of medical animals in the last 10 years which for promoting the sustainable development of Chinese medicine.
Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, CNKI, VIP database and WanFang Database were selected, and SPSS 25.0 software was used to analyze annual publications, journals, global distribution, authors, coauthors and co-authors rate, author institutions and high-frequency keywords.
Results: Chinese Journal of modern Chinese medicine occupies the majority articles with a high co-authorship rate, but low impact factors. The development of medical animals around the world is not balanced. The top three countries are China, United Kingdom and United States. However, these countries have less exchanges and cooperation with each other. The Institute of TCM of Chinese Academy owns the most research achievements. At present, the hot spots involve the identification and quality of medical animals, applied basic research.
Conclusion: The identification, quality and applied basic research of medical animals are still worthy of increasing research investment. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen exchanges and international cooperation among different countries in TCM, and promote the high-quality development in medical animals.

Background: Basic psychological needs affect intrinsic motivation. However, the relationship between selfcare behaviors and the basic psychological needs of patients undergoing renal dialysis has not been proven. We investigated the validity and reliability of the Basic Psychological Needs scale for patients undergoing renal dialysis.
Methods: At hospitals in Busan Metropolitan City, 120 patients with chronic renal failure receiving dialysis treatment were examined. The data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 and criteria for positively affecting selfcare behaviors in these patients identified. The Basic Psychological Needs scale consists of two sub-factors: autonomy and competence.
Results: The reliability of the 12 items of the scale based on Cronbach’s α was 0.90; first factor autonomy was 0.90; second factor competence was 0.72; and there was homogeneity between the items.
Conclusion: Construct-, convergent-, discriminant-, criterion-related validity and internal consistency were verified. The scale was confirmed as a tool for measuring the basic psychological needs of patients undergoing renal dialysis.

Authors: Qin Mingyi , Li Yu , He Zongze , Hou Xiaojuan
Published: July 2023

Background: We aimed to probe into the occupational exposure causes and mental status of infectious diseases in pre-hospital emergency medical personnel.
Methods: Forty medical personnel with occupational exposure to infectious diseases who participated in pre-hospital emergency work in 120 emergency center of The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China were selected as respondents from February 2018 to February 2021. The occupational exposure modes, exposure degrees, exposure sites, exposure sources and exposure causes of infectious diseases were summarized, and the mental status of emergency medical personnel after occupational exposure to infectious diseases was analyzed.
Results: In the occupational exposure modes of infectious diseases, needle stick injuries were overtly higher than mucosal pollution, hematic and humoral pollution and incised wound by glass (P<0.05). In exposure degrees, slight bleeding was notably higher than excessive bleeding, bleeding and no bleeding (P<0.05). The hand was distinctly higher than the eye in exposure sites (P<0.05). In exposure sources, hepatitis B virus was visibly higher than hepatitis C virus, HIV, syphilis, intravenous drug, hemorrhagic fever and unknown cause (P<0.05). The scores of somatic symptoms, anxiety, depression, fear, interpersonal sensitivity, hostility, compulsion and paranoia in medical personnel were clearly higher than the norm in Chinese adults after occupational exposure to infectious diseases (P<0.05), with no statistical significance in the comparison of psychotic scores.
Conclusion: The occupational exposure risk of infectious diseases among pre-hospital emergency medical personnel is high. It is necessary to strengthen pre-job training and education and improve standardized management for protection.

Published: July 2023

Background: Endometriosis is a challenging gynecological disease and a debilitating condition that profoundly affects the individual’s quality of life. Besides pathological confirmation, diagnostic laparoscopy has been internationally accepted as the standard method to identify the accurate mapping of endometriosis. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) is the first non-invasive imaging modality to estimate the severity of endometriosis.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of TVS in affected women compared with surgical findings.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study surveyed 170 women with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) referred to the endometriosis part of the Avicenna Infertility Center, Tehran, Iran and they underwent TVS followed by laparoscopy. Recorded data of individuals under study in the medical database system were reviewed. Finally, the agreement rate was calculated for ultrasound reports and intraoperative (IO) findings regarding ovarian endometrium, ovarian adhesion, involvement of cul-de-sac, rectovaginal septum, and bowel and ureter.
Results: 170 women with DIE entered the study. The agreement of TVS and IO findings were 86.76% for left ovarian endometriosis and 70.86% for right ovarian endometriosis, 93.90% for left ovarian adhesion, and 88.90% for right ovarian adhesion, 88.90% for a cul-de-sac, and 84.82% for bowel nodules. The findings, based on a laparoscopic assessment of the pelvic floor, were completely compatible with ultrasound reports (100%).
Conclusion: TVS allows a preoperative evaluation in planning the surgical policy associated. TVS is beneficial for dedicated mapping of DIE; thus, an expert radiologist can aid the surgeon in preoperative evaluation and IO management.

Reflection of Hierarchical Culture through the Directive Speech Acts in "The Social Dilemma'' Documentary
Authors: Yanti Yusrita , Ariska Elsa
Published: July 2023

This paper examines the hierarchical cultural values reflected through the directive speech acts contained in “The Social Dilemma,” an American documentary discussing the negative sides of social media that affect its users unwittingly. The data of the research are gotten from the utterances of the casts including fictional and interview sessions presenting researchers, technologists, and activists with concern for humanity. Based on a descriptive qualitative method, it is found that the cultural values of the hierarchy are presented through the directive speech acts as in types of orders, forbidding, suggesting, and requesting. Based on the findings, it is indicated that all data delivered by its speakers in direct strategy utilizing two main values known as authority and wealth. Eventually, these two values lead to two circumstances related to the role and position in the community and also the strong goal of gaining profit from the tech industry, which encompasses the advertising goal (to make money on social media through advertisements), the growth goal (to get users as many as possible), and the engagement goal (to keep people scrolling and staying). As a consequence, based on the reflection of these hierarchical values, reform in social media is highly demanded to be in line with humanism.

Authors: Anıl Güven Yüksel
Published: July 2023

In this article, cooperatives were examined on their distinctive structure, questioning whether they can be seen as a way of civil participation on political decision-making, by presenting some recent cases from Turkish Forestry Cooperatives. Firstly, the place of the civil society in participatory democracies and the importance of economic and social conditions in this perspective and consequently the role of the cooperatives in civil society were explained briefly. Afterwards, the cooperative’s practical impact on political decision-making was analysed over the instance of OR-KOOP including core information on cooperatives and forest villagers in Turkey —representing a community lower economic facilities— in the search of fundamental necessities for an expected participation in political decision-making processes. Finally, constitutional significance of the forests and the cooperatives were revealed with regard to the crossing concepts of participatory democracy, sustainable development and human rights.

Análisis del sabotaje de la Economía Social y de las cooperativas de ahorro y crédito en Ecuador
Authors: Luque González Arturo , Merino Chiliquinga Vanessa Estefanía , Aldas Vargas María del Carmen
Published: July 2023

Ecuador a lo largo de la historia ha realizado grandes esfuerzos a través de procesos de economía social y solidaria —ESOL—. Muchos de estos procesos se han desplegado de manera informal a través de prácticas económicas no monetarias, y otros más formales a partir de la conceptualización y desarrollo de programas de economía popular y solidaria —EPS— afianzados en su nueva Constitución en el año 2008. A partir del año 2017 con el gobierno de Lenin Moreno se estableció una regresión en las políticas públicas y sociales llegando a su cúspide con el gobierno del banquero Guillermo Lasso a partir del año 2021. Es en ese momento cuando se despliegan todo tipo de medidas contra organizaciones que pudieran comprometer las cuentas de resultados de las estructuras económicas y oligarquías afines al gobierno entorpeciendo con ello procesos abiertamente democráticos como son las cooperativas de ahorro y crédito. Con ello se evidencia la falta de ética junto a la mala fe a la hora de no atender las necesidades de un sector que siempre ha sostenido y potenciado el flujo circulante de bienes y servicios a través de accionar local utilizando todo tipo de mecanismos priorizando la maximización del beneficio por encima del beneficio social.

W artykule przedstawiono zagadnienia związane z etapową bioremediacją gleby zanieczyszczonej substancjami ropopochodnymi. Badania procesu bioremediacji gleby G6 wykonywano w dwóch etapach. W etapie I przeprowadzono biodegradację zanieczyszczeń ropopochodnych na drodze inokulacji biopreparatem B1, opracowanym na bazie niepatogennych mikroorganizmów autochtonicznych. Badania prowadzono metodą pryzmowania ex situ przez okres 3 miesięcy w ściśle kontrolowanych warunkach temperaturowych. W II etapie badań wstępnie oczyszczoną glebę poddano procesowi biodegradacji (inokulacja biopreparatem B2) wspomaganej fitoremediacją w warunkach ex situ (metoda wazonowa) przez okres 6 miesięcy. W badaniach fitoremediacji wykorzystano komonicę zwyczajną (Lotus corniculatus), należącą do grupy naftofitów. Eksperymenty prowadzono w trzech układach: układ 1 – gleba G6-3 + komonica zwyczajna, układ 2 – gleba G6-3 + biopreparat B2 + komonica zwyczajna, układ 3 – gleba G6-3 + biopreparat B2 z dodatkiem γ-PGA (kwas γ-poliglutaminowy) + komonica zwyczajna. Oceny efektywności I i II etapu bioremediacji dokonano na podstawie przeprowadzonych analiz chromatograficznych i testów toksykologicznych. Zrealizowane badania wykazały, że efektywność I etapu bioremediacji gleby G6 wynosiła 41,67% dla TPH (całkowita zawartość węglowodorów) i 34,73% dla WWA (wielopierścieniowe węglowodory aromatyczne). Największą efektywność II etapu bioremediacji odnotowano w układzie 3, natomiast najniższą – w układzie 1. W wyniku II etapu bioremediacji wspomaganego fitoremediacją za pomocą komonicy zwyczajnej po 6 miesiącach badań osiągnięto spadek stężenia TPH w badanych układach o: 13,32% (układ 1), 39,65% (układ 2) oraz 51,79% (układ 3), natomiast efektywność II etapu biodegradacji WWA wynosiła 8,00% w glebie G6-3(1), 37,10% w glebie G6-3(2) oraz 51,34% w glebie G6-3(3). Wykonane testy toksykologiczne z zastosowaniem Phytotoxkit™, Ostracodtoxkit F™ oraz Microtox®SPT wykazały spadek właściwości toksycznych gleby po przeprowadzeniu procesu oczyszczania. Uzyskane wyniki analiz chromatograficznych i toksykologicznych wykazały, że wykorzystanie fitoremediacji w II etapie remediacji pozwala na zwiększenie efektywności procesu biodegradacji TPH i WWA.

Published: July 2023

Background: Breeds of animals differ with respect to anatomical, physiological and behavioural traits hence the study of inter-breed variation in pharmacokinetics becomes necessary. The aim of the current investigation was to determine the pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin following intravenous bolus administration to assess the influence of breed on drug pharmacokinetics and availability. Methods: In the present study the pharmacokinetics of a common antimicrobial drug, enrofloxacin and its metabolite, ciprofloxacin was studied in adult, non-pregnant and dry Badri cows, wherein a commercial preparation of enrofloxacin (10% v/v) was administered at a dose rate of 7.5 mg/kg intravenously as a single dose. The plasma samples were collected at regular intervals and subjected to analysis by HPLC after appropriate processing. The results obtained were analysed using a software tool, “PK Solver” to obtain the pharmacokinetic parameters. Result: From the study, it was revealed that the Badri cattle showed a distribution half-life of 0.11 h, a volume of distribution of 7.63 L.kg-1, an elimination half-life of 4.27 h and an MRT of 5.93 h for enrofloxacin. Whereas, a maximum plasma concentration level of 0.12 µg.ml-1 was observed for ciprofloxacin in the current study. According to the results obtained in the pharmacokinetic study, an individualized dosage regimen containing a priming dose of 5 mg/kg and a maintenance dose of 4.5 mg/kg with an interval of 24 hours was suggested for the enrofloxacin in Badri cattle. The results of our current study when compared with the previously available literature on other cattle breeds suggested that the Badri cattle differed with respect to pharmacokinetic properties and further studies will be required to determine the conclusive reason for the differences.

In the past few decades, the Oceania region has experienced a general trend of rising temperature, increased rainfall variability, declining rainfall in parts of Australia and New Zealand, and increased rainfall, particularly extreme events in other parts of the Oceanian region. These changes pose challenges to agriculture, forcing agricultural management to adapt. Systems modelling has played a key role in understanding how climate variability and change impact on agricultural systems. This chapter summarises the climate change in the recent past and future projections for the Oceanian region, briefly reviews how agriculture has responded to past climate changes, and how systems modelling has helped to quantify impact of future climate change, evaluate adaptation strategies and influence policy. Case studies in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea are presented and future research needs for modelling are discussed. Web links for further information of relevant research and applications are provided at the end.

Les auteurs rapportent les résultats d'une étude sur les tiques et les hémoparasitoses des bovins, des ovins et des caprins de la zone nord-soudanienne. Un détiquage systématique de 40 bovins, 40 moutons et 40 chèvres est effectué pendant 15 mois dans le but de déterminer la dynamique des populations et de préciser les sites préférentiels de fixation des différentes espèces. Les espèces suivantes sont récoltées sur ces animaux : Hyalomma marginatum rufipes, H. truncatum, Rhipicephalus lunulatus, Rh. e evertsi, Rh. sulcatus, Rh. senegalensis, Boophilus decoloratus. Des études sont menées simultanément sur les hémoparasitoses, par réalisation de frottis de sang et de splénectomies. Chez les bovins, sont mis en évidence : Anaplasma marginale, Ehrlichia bovis, Theileria mutans, Th. velifera, Trypanosoma congolense, T. brucei et des microfilaires de Setaria labiatopapillosa. Babesia bigemina a été observée après splénectomie. Les infections décelées chez les petits ruminants sont occasionnées par A. ovis, Th. ovis et T. vivax. Les valeurs de l'hématocrite d'animaux apparemment sains sont étudiées de même que les variations saisonnières de ce paramètre hématologique.

Published: July 2023

Une recherche des anticorps contre Babesia canis, par le test ELISA, portant sur 287 chiens d'une zone endémique, a révélé une prévalence de 43 p. 100. On a trouvé des anticorps dans toutes les classes d'âge avec une prévalence significativement plus basse chez les chiens âgés de 1 à 6 mois que chez les animaux plus âgés. Aucune différence entre les chiens nigérians indigènes et les chiens "exotiques" ou étrangers, ni entre les sexes, n'a été remarquée dans la prévalence des anticorps. Les anticorps étaient plus fréquents chez les chiens parasités par B. canis et chez ceux à haut risque d'infection. De plus, des anticorps ont été détectés chez quelques chiots nés de chiennes séropositives. Le test ELISA n'a pas détecté d'anticorps chez 36,1 p. 100 de chiens atteints de babésiose à B. canis.
