This Policy Statement was retired March 2021.

This policy statement provides recommendations for the prevention of serogroup B meningococcal disease through the use of 2 newly licensed serogroup B meningococcal vaccines: MenB-FHbp (Trumenba; Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Pfizer, Philadelphia, PA) and MenB-4C (Bexsero; Novartis Vaccines, Siena, Italy). Both vaccines are approved for use in persons 10 through 25 years of age. MenB-FHbp is licensed as a 2- or 3-dose series, and MenB-4C is licensed as a 2-dose series for all groups. Either vaccine is recommended for routine use in persons 10 years and older who are at increased risk of serogroup B meningococcal disease (category A recommendation). Persons at increased risk of meningococcal serogroup B disease include the following: (1) persons with persistent complement component diseases, including inherited or chronic deficiencies in C3, C5–C9, properdin, factor D, or factor H or persons receiving eculizumab (Soliris; Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Cheshire, CT), a monoclonal antibody that acts as a terminal complement inhibitor by binding C5 and inhibiting cleavage of C5 to C5A; (2) persons with anatomic or functional asplenia, including sickle cell disease; and (3) healthy persons at increased risk because of a serogroup B meningococcal disease outbreak. Both serogroup B meningococcal vaccines have been shown to be safe and immunogenic and are licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration for individuals between the ages of 10 and 25 years. On the basis of epidemiologic and antibody persistence data, the American Academy of Pediatrics agrees with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that either vaccine may be administered to healthy adolescents and young adults 16 through 23 years of age (preferred ages are 16 through 18 years) to provide short-term protection against most strains of serogroup B meningococcal disease (category B recommendation).
Umbilical Cord Care in the Newborn Infant
Authors: Stewart Dan , Benitz William ,   COMMITTEE ON FETUS AND NEWBORN
Published: August 2016

Postpartum infections remain a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. A high percentage of these infections may stem from bacterial colonization of the umbilicus, because cord care practices vary in reflection of cultural traditions within communities and disparities in health care practices globally. After birth, the devitalized umbilical cord often proves to be an ideal substrate for bacterial growth and also provides direct access to the bloodstream of the neonate. Bacterial colonization of the cord not infrequently leads to omphalitis and associated thrombophlebitis, cellulitis, or necrotizing fasciitis. Various topical substances continue to be used for cord care around the world to mitigate the risk of serious infection. More recently, particularly in high-resource countries, the treatment paradigm has shifted toward dry umbilical cord care. This clinical report reviews the evidence underlying recommendations for care of the umbilical cord in different clinical settings.
The Pediatrician’s Role in Optimizing School Readiness
Authors:   COUNCIL ON EARLY CHILDHOOD,   COUNCIL ON SCHOOL HEALTH
Published: August 2016

School readiness includes not only the early academic skills of children but also their physical health, language skills, social and emotional development, motivation to learn, creativity, and general knowledge. Families and communities play a critical role in ensuring children’s growth in all of these areas and thus their readiness for school. Schools must be prepared to teach all children when they reach the age of school entry, regardless of their degree of readiness. Research on early brain development emphasizes the effects of early experiences, relationships, and emotions on creating and reinforcing the neural connections that are the basis for learning. Pediatricians, by the nature of their relationships with families and children, may significantly influence school readiness. Pediatricians have a primary role in ensuring children’s physical health through the provision of preventive care, treatment of illness, screening for sensory deficits, and monitoring nutrition and growth. They can promote and monitor the social-emotional development of children by providing anticipatory guidance on development and behavior, by encouraging positive parenting practices, by modeling reciprocal and respectful communication with adults and children, by identifying and addressing psychosocial risk factors, and by providing community-based resources and referrals when warranted. Cognitive and language skills are fostered through timely identification of developmental problems and appropriate referrals for services, including early intervention and special education services; guidance regarding safe and stimulating early education and child care programs; and promotion of early literacy by encouraging language-rich activities such as reading together, telling stories, and playing games. Pediatricians are also well positioned to advocate not only for children’s access to health care but also for high-quality early childhood education and evidence-based family supports such as home visits, which help provide a foundation for optimal learning.

Közfoglalkoztatás a mezőgazdaságban
Authors: Koós Bálint
Published: August 2016

A magyar foglalkoztatáspolitika évtized eleji átalakítása, a workfare jelleg erősítése alapjaiban formálta át a közfoglalkoztatási rendszert. A közmunkából, amely eredetileg csupán egy volt az aktív foglalkoztatáspolitikai eszközökből, s amely átmeneti vagy részmunkaidős elhelyezkedési lehetőséget kínált a tartós munkanélkülieknek, így vált egy univerzális, majd minden álláskereső számára elérhető, majdhogynem garantált elhelyezkedési lehetőséggé.A közfoglalkoztatás új rendszerében kiemelt szerep jutott az ország legkedvezőtlenebb helyzetű térségeiben meghirdetett mezőgazdasági közfoglalkoztatási programoknak, amelyek a jó minőségű élelmiszerrel való ellátást biztosítják. A közfoglalkoztatás fizikai termékek előállításával való összekapcsolása nemzetközi szinten ritka, de nem példa nélküli. Argentínában és Indiában, ahol a közfoglalkoztatási programok keretén belül mezőgazdasági tevékenységek is megjelentek, hivatalosan nem kerülnek piaci forgalomba a megtermelt mezőgazdasági termékek, hiszen maguk a közmunkások, illetve a rászorulók étkeztetésére használják azokat.A hazai gyakorlat e tekintetben legalábbis kétarcú, hiszen egyrészt határozott elvárás a piaczavarás elkerülése, ugyanakkor cél a fejlesztési projektek saját lábra állása, önfenntartóvá válása, ami végső soron a valódi piacra való kilépést jelenti. A politikai célok érthetőek, ugyanakkor nem jött létre egyetértés a tekintetben, hogy miként lehetne ezt elérni.A magyar mezőgazdasági közfoglalkoztatási programok népszerűvé váltak, az érintettek számára ugyanis biztos, különösebb képzettséget nem igénylő munkalehetőséget teremtenek, még ha a piaci és a hivatalos minimálbérnél is alacsonyabb fizetést nyújtanak.A 2012–2013. évekre vonatkozó teljes körű adatok alapján látható, hogy a hátrányos helyzetű térségekben meghirdetett mezőgazdasági közfoglalkoztatási programokba leginkább a hátrányos munkaerő-piaci helyzetűek – azaz nők, pályakezdő fiatalok, alacsonyan képzettek– kerülnek be. A mezőgazdasági közfoglalkoztatási programok foglalkoztatási reintegrációs hatása csekélynek mondható, az érintettek alig 9,9 százaléka tudott a munkaerőpiacon elhelyezkedni, legnagyobb valószínűséggel ismét közfoglalkoztatottakká váltak.

Mesas de concertación y seguimiento de los acuerdos de paz en Guatemala: lecciones aprendidas para la paz territorial en Colombia
Authors: Mouly Cécile
Published: August 2016

This article considers the experience of the forums for consultation and the follow-up of the peace agreements in Guatemala and draws lessons for territorial peace in Colombia. Based on data from observation, interviews, and documents, it analyses how the consultation forums evolved into an infrastructure for peace, and the role they played in the decentralization of peace implementation. From this experience, It emphasizes the importance of the departmental level as a bridge between the grassroots and decision makers at the central level, and of the participation of traditionally marginalized groups for territorial peace. Additionally, the successful local peacebuilding initiatives that emerged during the war must be considered. It also discusses the role of multisectoral spaces in the peaceful transformation of local conflicts, and the need to maintain a balance between institutionalization and flexibility.

Enfoque de género en la implementación de la Ley de Víctimas y Restitución de Tierras: una propuesta para la caracterización de las mujeres y niñas víctimas del conflicto armado en Colombia
Authors: Castrellón Pérez Mariana , Romero Cristancho Catherine
Published: August 2016

The purpose of this article is to present a methodological proposal to be included by local governments in their planning tools to implement the Victims and Land Restitution Law. Integral reparation measures on behalf of women who have been victimized by the armed actors have to recognize that the victimization oversees the violent episode and exacerbates inequality gaps and the effective enjoyment of rights between men and women. Hence, any attempt to characterize women survivors of the conflict must consider women’s situation in different areas of exclusion such as access to land and housing, educational level, economic independence, among others; as well as the different types of discrimination that women face during peace times. All this to formulate public policy that aims at preventing violence and repairing women in local territories.
Guerra y posconflicto en Guatemala: búsqueda de justicia antes y después de los acuerdos de paz
Authors: Benítez Jiménez Maira Ixchel
Published: August 2016

By suggesting that the mobilization of civil society groups has been the driving factor behind the progress of legal justice in post-war Guatemala, this article argues that the recent achievements in this field were possible by several institutional changes over time which provided some degree of access to political and legal opportunities. A review of the oral and documental sources allows tracking some transformations before and after the peace agreements, which favored or inhibited the attribution of criminal responsibility for serious human rights violations committed during the war period. These changes in the political sphere, or resulting from the interaction between pro-justice advocates and their particular context, have enabled the legal activist community to position themselves as crucial stakeholders in the peacebuilding process. In addition, it has allowed them to play a prominent role in the activation of justice through judicialization strategies in this post-conflict period.

This article explores different frameworks between the relationship of music, war and conflict transformation. This study considers how music can contribute to the possibilities of a lasting peace in societies located near the end of a violent historical conflict. It also suggests that cultural factors, especially music, can; a) identify social conflicts; b) think its several solutions in the community; and c) consider, based on some specific cases, the way in which music allowed catalyzing dialogue and conflictual transformation through musical practice and reflection.
Hay que evitar totalizar la violencia para poder comprender la paz viva. Entrevista con Juan Gutiérrez
Authors: Fernández-Savater Amador , Varela Huerta Amarela
Published: August 2016

Juan Gutierrez was invited to share the experience of "Peace Strands Project" in Mexico by the Universidad Autónoma de Puebla and the Tecnológico de Monterrey. This particular project and the long-winded reflection of the interviewee about a strong concept of peace are particularly inspiring and relevant in the actual crisis context of human rights related to the "war on drugs" in Mexico. Why? From his perspective, embodied in the Peace Strands Project, this gives visibility and adds value to resistance and life gestures that deconstruct the logic of the sides of the war and the figure of the enemy. It is about not "totalizing violence", that is, not seeing it as a complete, all-powerful absolute and for it, that for that,  to focus on gestures of positive peace crossing the sides and that place value on the traverse humanity always underlying open conflict situations. Juan Gutierrez and the interviewers maintain a live dialogue about these issues for years now and, in the context of his trip to Mexico, they thought that it might be valuable to share some thoughts, experiences, and stories to think otherwise the violence in Mexico.

Authors: Pérez V. José Gregorio
Published: August 2016

The paper aims to characterize the paramilitary speech in the village of La Mesa, Cesar, whose practices of power-knowledge are not registered only in the coercive field, but extend to forms of communication, where the control and subjugation of the population, legitimation and de-legitimation of the main enemy (FARC and ELN, and suspects) and the problematic resident (offenders), acquire a particular form of registration in the individualities and the social body, and extends to the soccer field, the school, the streets, the workplaces, the artifacts (stone and soccer arches) present in the territory. In addition to suspects and offenders, the paramilitary leader, David Hernández Rojas, alias ‘39’, led to another subject registered in the speech, the redeemed/collaborators.
A Study of the Haemodynamic Response to Oral Clonidine as Pre–Medication in Laparoscopic Surgeries
Authors: Koshire Alka , Sinha Rupesh , Rayakar Utkarsh S.
Published: August 2016

Introduction: Laparoscopic surgery is a boon for surgeons as it reduces tissue trauma, post-operative morbidity, hospital stay and healthcare costs. However, it is not possible to perform a laparoscopic procedure unless a proper anaesthetic procedure is available to combat the additional haemodynamic stress of pneumoperitoneum with CO2 insufflation and the patient's position1,2. Use of an alpha-2 against tablets such as clonidine helps in blunting the adverse haemodynamic response during laparoscopy3,4. Aims of this study were: To study haemodynamic response to oral clonidine tablet during endotracheal intubation in laparoscopic surgery. To study haemodynamic response to oral clonidine tablet in the intraoperative period in laparoscopic surgery. To study side-effects of clonidine. Materials and Methods: This prospective placebo controlled study was conducted in the Department of Anaesthesiology, in a tertiary health care centre attached to a medical college. A total of 60 patients scheduled for laparoscopic surgery in the age group of 18-60 years belonging to ASA grade 1 & 2 were included in the study. After appropriate preoperative evaluation they were divided into 2 groups. Group C (n = 30) received Tab. Clonidine 150 mcg orally. Group V (n = 30) received a placebo Vitamin tablet. After appropriate premedication, patients were given general anaesthesia. Various parameters like pulse rate, Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) including systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure, ETCO2 were measured pre-operatively, during intubation and at various points intraoperatively. Statistical analysis was done using statistical package for Social Sciences Ver. 18. The results was expressed in mean and standard deviation. Independent t-test was used to compare mean of the two groups. For the purpose of this study, 95% confidence limit was chosen and corresponding p-value <0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Conclusion: We found that pre-medication with oral clonidine provides haemodynamic stability and protection against the stress response triggered by laryngoscopy, intubation and pneumoperitoneum with CO2 in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. It also was found to reduce nausea, vomiting and shivering post-operatively.

Alianzas estratégicas: instrumento de negociación y desarrollo sostenible mirado desde la perspectiva de la interculturalidad
Authors: Arbaiza Fermini Lydia
Published: August 2016

La pobreza es un fenómeno que se manifiesta en la falta de acceso a la educación y servicios adecuados, la desnutrición, la falta de saneamiento y las desigualdades de género. Frente a ello, en países como el Perú se ha establecido un Fondo Social Minero, el cual tiene el potencial de convertirse en una herramienta estratégica poderosa para sentar las bases del desarrollo sostenible, reducción de la pobreza y para el desarrollo institucional. A su vez el Fondo ha traído como correlato la constitución de alianzas estratégicas, las que han ayudado a aumentar la productividad de los recursos, a abrir nuevos mercados y son un instrumento esencial de negociación entre las diferentes culturas implicadas en la inversión minera. En este artículo, se propone la aplicabilidad de un modelo de desarrollo basado por un lado en las tres estrategias en las que el Fondo Social Minero puede ser utilizado: desarrollo sostenible, reducción de la pobreza y desarrollo institucional; y de otro lado atravesado por un eje fundamental: la perspectiva intercultural.
Significance of Time-Lapsed Hydrocarbon Saturations From Pulsed-Neutron-Capture (PNC) Logs and the Impact of Borehole-Environment Parameters on PNC-Derived Saturations
Authors: Ali Arfan , Small Simon , Singh Kamaljeet , Martin Andy
Published: August 2016

Reservoir surveillance with pulsed-neutron-capture (PNC) logs has shown its importance historically in providing reservoir hydrocarbon saturations behind the casing. However, there is little in the literature to show the importance of PNC logs for contact tracking and accessing bypassed/moved hydrocarbons. In addition, no one has ever attempted to characterize the various borehole environments and subsequently understanding their impact on the PNC-derived hydrocarbon saturations.

This paper is divided into two parts. The first part shows the importance of time-lapse PNC logs in understanding reservoir-fluid movement and chasing migrated hydrocarbons behind the casing. A case study from the UK Central North Sea is presented to highlight the importance of the PNC sigma data.

The second part of the paper shows the computation of borehole-environment parameters from simple to complex completions including multiple casing/tubing strings, varying hole sizes, and annuli fill. For the first time, the work presented in this paper shows the importance of having correct environmental parameters and the impact of using incorrect parameters on the PNC-derived hydrocarbon saturations. Not making such detailed checks may result in misinterpretation of the PNC data, leading to incorrect conclusions about fluid dynamics, and risky decisions in adding perforations and water-shut off (WSO) opportunities.

Defining success of African immigrant-owned small businesses in Cape Town, South Africa
Authors: Maurice Khosa Risimati , Kalitanyi Vivence
Published: August 2016

Taking Cape Town, South Africa as a case, this paper seeks to investigate the factors that define the success of small businesses owned by African immigrants. The paper reviews literature on immigrant entrepreneurs, immigrant-owned ventures and social capital. A random sample of available immigrant small businesses owners was taken where semi-structured interviews were conducted, as well as the use of self-administered questionnaires. Secondary data (literature review) have unveiled that social networks are vital in the formation and growth stages of an immigrant-owned business, as networks provide the necessary support. Ultimately, social networks supplement the survival chances of an immigrant-owned venture. Furthermore, primary data (empirical results) have revealed that most of the businesses are mainly run by males, while longevity and employment creation are defining factors of success to African immigrant-owned small businesses in Cape Town. Following the empirical findings and their analysis, recommendations have been formulated
Entrepreneurial orientation, control aversion and performance in SMEs: the contribution of equity investors
Authors: Silver Lars , Johanson Martin , Berggren Björn
Published: August 2016

Entrepreneurial orientation is a concept that captures the importance of how and why certain individuals decide to take higher risks than the average small business owner so as to increase their return on assets deployed. Entrepreneurial orientation is linked to the concept of control aversion, which is used to explain why certain individuals refrain from using external financing to expand their firms. Control aversion suggests that most small business owners prefer to maintain total control rather than invite in the potentially disruptive influence of an external owner/investor. This study combines these two concepts in an attempt to introduce financing and investors into the discussion of entrepreneurial orientation and performance. Equity investors are shown to have a major influence on entrepreneurial performance, because business owners with an entrepreneurial orientation gain substantially from interaction with investors through the transfer of knowledge. The model was tested with a LInear Structural RELations (LISREL) analysis on a sample of 459 Swedish small and medium-sized enterprises

Este é o relatório histórico antropológico da comunidade do Mocambo, produzido entre 1995 e 1997 como peça do processo de reconhecimento desta comunidade como remanescente de quilombos. O relatório descreve características gerais deste grupo social, seus usos da terra, suas relações com demais grupos sociais vizinhos, em especial os índios Xokó, assim como uma descrição do conflito fundiário que deu origem à mobilização quilombola. Para isso o relatório reflete também sobre o modo de organização da memória do grupo e sua relação com a história regional. A diferença desta versão com relação ao texto do relatório original é o acréscimo de uma nova introdução, na qual oferecemos uma ampla contextualização do trabalho e acrescentamos considerações críticas sobre dois tópicos: a relação entre o princípio da auto-atribuição e as controvérsias públicas produzidas em torno do reconhecimento, e sobre o equilíbrio ou a oscilação entre o caráter técnico e o caráter científico dos Relatórios e Laudos antropológicos.
Internacionalização do currículo acadêmico de graduação: questões para debates
Authors: Castilho Suely Dulce de
Published: August 2016

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar o tratamento que pesquisadores brasileiros têm dispensado ao tema “Internacionalização do ensino superior”. A pesquisa utilizou como fonte os artigos disponíveis no Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes). Procurou-se vincular as análises ao contexto da era planetária com as desigualdades entre o Ocidente Europeu e países subdesenvolvidos. A pesquisa aqui empreendida demonstrou, entre outras coisas, que a internacionalização entre países não hegemônicos e países desenvolvidos tem sido vista como uma transferência unilateral, em vez de uma cooperação solidária, e aponta para a necessidade de um projeto curricular internacional, com proposições críticas e dialógicas, no interior do qual a diversidade se delineie como projeto universal.

Published: August 2016

O objetivo central deste artigo foi analisar programas de pós-graduação interdisciplinares, buscando captar especificidades dos contextos e pretextos dos programas confrontados. O locus do estudo foram oito programas de pós-graduação (stricto sensu) interdisciplinares reconhecidos e recomendados pela Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes), que têm como princípio o diálogo entre Ciências Humanas e da Natureza e um programa da University of Arizona (U of A), dos Estados Unidos. As análises realizadas identificaram uma relação estreita entre movimentos internacionais de repensar a ciência moderna e a gênese dos programas. Os programas são compreendidos como parte do movimento crescente da ciência que busca repensar a fragmentação e a dualidade, inclusive na direção de legitimar outros espaços de poder e prestígio e rever a organização de áreas do conhecimento historicamente constituídas.

Polypoid Change of the Glomerular Basement Membrane in a Child with Steroid Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome and ARHGAP24 Mutation: A Case Report
Authors: Francis Anna , Burke John , Francis Leo , McTaggart Steven , Mallett Andrew
Published: August 2016

Background:

Steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is increasingly recognised to have a genetic basis following the identification of a number of mutations within genes encoding podocyte and basement membrane proteins. The ARHGAP24 gene product is a recently recognised important player in podocyte interaction with the glomerular basement membrane. The ARHGAP24 gene encodes a protein involved in regulating cell motility, membrane structure and polarity. Mutations in the gene have been shown in vitro to cause cell membrane ruffling.

Case Presentation:

We report a novel missense mutation in exon 4 (c.[284G>A]; p.[Arg95Gln]) of the ARHGAP24 gene in a child that presented with SRNS at four years of age. Renal biopsy demonstrated unusual polypoid changes of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM).

Conclusion:

We propose this novel ARHGAP24 mutation as causative for SRNS associated with unusual polypoid basement membrane changes. These biopsy findings, in association with ARHGAP24 mutation and clinical nephrotic syndrome are a novel finding. This finding may advance the understanding of ARHGAP24 gene product function.
Analysis of the Cutting Features of the Damaged Rock by Shock Disturbance
Authors: Lei Lou , Wanrong Wu , Xiangjing Liang
Published: August 2016

This article aims to study the effects of shock-disturbed cracks on the cutting features of cone bits. By utilizing the Walsh’s model, a crack model was established for the damaged rock surrounding the induced hole, the intrusive coefficient of the cone bit was derived, and the drilling rate equation around the induced hole was formulated. The effects of crack density and disturbance frequency on elastic modulus, intrusive coefficient, and cutting force were studied. With an increase in crack density, both the effective elastic modulus and the intrusive coefficient decreased. Under a certain range of internal friction angle, with an increase in crack density, the drilling rate increased. Under a certain axial load, as the disturbance frequency increased, the cutting force of one-cone bits decreased.

En el presente ensayo me propongo señalar cómo, a partir de las prácticas de innovación tecnológica en el cine (mejoras técnicas como el sonido, el color, hasta la tercera dimensión y sus concreciones actuales), se reduce lo cinematográfico al azar administrado, a la falta de reflexión en las decisiones técnicas respecto a las obras y su contexto, a partir de la disociación de la relación entre forma y contenido en la constitución de la obra y en su carácter dialéctico. Así mismo, propongo también una breve reflexión sobre las perspectivas del cine inmerso en esta situación de mercado, sus posibilidades de autonomía y de generación de contenidos transgresores del arte estandarizado que prima, todo a partir de los análisis realizados por la Teoría Crítica de la Escuela de Frankfurt para la primera mitad del siglo XX. Argumento que, si bien la situación no es alentadora, y se hace necesaria la problematización de la creación y el consumo de cine, es posible pensar los medios técnicos actuales para potenciar un arte emancipado.

Authors: Asojo Abimbola O.
Published: August 2016

This article discusses an industry collaboration where interior design students designed and built light fixtures that exemplified a company’s product line via social media. The design challenge was to conceptualize and build a fixture that uses sustainable materials that exemplifies Groovy stuff’s product line. Groovy stuff provided the class with a bill of materials kit and feedback via Facebook. Student’s final fixture prototypes were informed by research, collaboration with Groovy stuff via social media, parametric modeling, and digital fabrication techniques.2398-4295 © 2016. The Authors.

Published: August 2016

This paper engages the users’ behaviour, their perceptions of use in sensory gardens and the reality faced by practitioners designing for these gardens, based on case-studies in the United Kingdom. Further investigation will be undertaken at Al-Bukhary International University in Malaysia once the completion of the country’s first sensory garden. Interview outcomes showed practitioners concurred on the design aspects that encourage the use of the area while the school staff had no strong views on the aesthetic value. Observation results showed pathway layout encourages behaviour, use and time spent in sensory areas. These outcomes are a significant argument in the conclusion.2398-4295 © 2016. The Authors.

ABSTRACT Objective. To assess the interaction effect of the season and planting densities on the production of eight INIAP corn hybrids. Materials and methods. A research process was conducted in 2013. It was applied a split - split plot design with three replication and Tukey test was used. It was evaluated two planting seasons (28 January and 8 April), they were placed in large plots. Two planting densities (65,500 y 125,000 plants/ha), that were located in the subplots and eight INIAP corn hybrids arranged in the sub- subplots. The evaluated variables were Fresh Matter, Dry Matter, Plant Height and Crude Protein Results. Fresh Matter and Crude Protein productions were influenced by planting seasons. Plant densities affected the production of Fresh Matter, Dry Matter and Plant Height, as well as the interaction season by corn INIAP hybrids. While INIAP corn hybrids showed statistical differences in the production of Fresh, Dry Matter, Plant Height and Crude Protein. The eight INIAP hybrids productions were: Fresh Matter (58.86 ton/ha ±5.19); Dry Matter (21.45 ton/ha ±4.71); Plant Height (2.46 m ±0.16) and Crude Protein (10.6±1.12). Conclusions. The performance showed by hybrids INIAP CML-172, INIAP 6021 and INIAP 551 were very acceptable forage material and could be used for silage purposes.RESUMEN Objetivo.

Authors: Alic Ural Deniz
Published: August 2016

ABSTRACT Objective. Two body condition scoring systems were compared to those of interpretation of cow’s body condition at a local farm located in Aydin region, Turkey. Materials and methods. A total of 50 head Holstein-Friesian cows at 1st-4rd parity (mid-lactation), raised at a private dairy farm located in Aydin, Turkey was constituted the animal material of the present study. Scores were obtained by use of the primary systems utilized within the US (1-5 scale with 0.25 intervals) and compared to those of Bayer Health Care Animal Health’s BCS Cowdition Smartphone App. Results. The overall means of BCS were found as 3.37±0.068 and 3.45±0.060 for BCS Cowdition and USBCS, respectively. The positive correlation among BCS Cowdition and USBCS systems was found as 0.81 in evaluating body condition (p<0.01). The positive linear relationship (p<0.001) was found between BCS Cowdition and USBCS systems (R2=0.66). The linear relationship between the latter assessment methods demonstrated that both usual and digital systems tended to scare cows similarly. Conclusions. This comparison represented progress within the understanding of the relationship between these two systems. Moreover, it may be suggested that BCS Cowdition Smartphone App. may be a good alternative for interpretation of BCS.RESUMEN Objetivo.
