Contradictory data is available on the intermediate host specificity of Sarcocystis spp. in farm animals. Therefore, the current work aimed at molecularly testing samples of sheep and goats reared in Lithuania to identify Sarcocystis species described in other intermediate hosts but suspected to be non-canonical parasites to these small ruminants. For this purpose, muscle samples from 47 domestic sheep and nine goats were examined. Sarcocystis species were identified using direct and nested PCR targeting cox1 and sequencing of positive amplified products. Along with the detection of the canonical Sarcocystis spp. in their respective intermediate hosts, the DNA of S. capracanis and S. morae was detected in sheep, although these species were previously thought to be specific to goats and deer, respectively. In addition, DNA from S. arieticanis and S. tenella was found in goats, even though these two species were believed to be sheep-specific. Notably, under light microscopy, only sarcocysts of S. capracanis specific to goats were observed. Thus, future research on the life cycle and host-specificity of Sarcocystis spp. examined is warranted.

Published: August 2023

The Nagqu area is in the northern part of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, and its average altitude is above 4000 m. Due to the area’s high altitude, there is relatively little information about its lakes. Therefore, to supplement the basic information of lakes in the area, this study collected surface water samples from 12 lakes, including Gangtang Co, Pusaier Co, Guojialin Co, Dagze Co, Yangnapeng Co, Bankog Co, Dangqung Co, Chaxiabu Co, Angdar Co, Bengze Co, Guogen Co, and Yibug Caka from July to August 2020. Furthermore, the factors controlling the lake water chemistry characteristics and the main ion sources were explored using the Piper, Gibbs, and ion ratio methods. The results were as follows: (1) The lakes had high levels of salt, alkalinity, and mineralization, and all the lakes except Bengze Co were salt lakes. The 12 lakes met the Class V water standard. (2) Dangqung Co, Bankog Co, Guojialin Co, Daze Co, and Yangnapeng Co were in the initial stage of lake succession, while the others were in the later stages of lake succession. (3) Evaporation–crystallization was the most important factor controlling the water chemistry of the 12 lakes, and most of the ions in the lakes come from the dissolution of evaporite.

Authors: McKim Billy , Saucier Ryan
Published: August 2023

The Borich (1980) needs assessment model requires that a mean weighted discrepancy score be calculated for each item, competency or activity included in the needs assessment. The two most common types of Borich-type discrepancy scores noted in the agricultural education literature are importance/ability or what is/what should be. An Excel-based mean weighted discrepancy score calculator provides a simplified process of calculating mean weighted discrepancy score and reduces opportunities for user error. The Excel-based mean weighted discrepancy score calculator is a free Microsoft Excel file that allows individuals to calculate discrepancy scores for importance/ability or what is/what should be scores.

Authors: Hibbs Judy , Sandmann Lorilee
Published: August 2023

Although considerable data has been gathered documenting impact of local EFNEP programs on enrolled participants, little documentation exists concerning the effect of EFNEP on paraprofessionals conducting these programs. The qualitative study reported here identifies types of psychosocial change in paraprofessionals resulting from EFNEP training and work experience. Identified areas of change include skill development, community status, relationships with family/community, ways of viewing others, increased caring for others, and increased self-esteem. Factors contributing to change include paraprofessionals' indigenous status, personal identification with work, training, support, and work experiences. These findings have implications for the hiring, training, and support of paraprofessionals.
Strategies for Obtaining Survey Responses from Extension Clients: Exploring the Role of E-Mail Requests
Authors: Israel Glenn
Published: August 2023

Extension professionals want to use the Web for conducting surveys, but studies show using the Web alone introduces significant bias. The study reported here compared strategies for obtaining responses that might minimize cost and bias. E-mail and postal invitations to the Web-hosted survey version were compared to the postal mail-only standard. The response rate was highest when using an e-mailed invitation, followed by the traditional mail-only mode and the postal invitation/Web-hosted mode. It appears the best strategy for minimizing the cost of collecting data and maximizing representativeness is to use e-mail invitations when available and postal mail for those without e-mail.

Published: August 2023

4-H livestock projects present disease transmission risks that can be reduced by the use of bio-security practices. The responsibility of teaching bio-security to youth belongs primarily to volunteer leaders, who may not be aware of the importance of these practices. A needs assessment for an online educational module about bio-security revealed that existing materials are inconsistent, are not directed at this audience, and are not being used by leaders. Although barriers to online education exist, there are many benefits of online education that can be passed from leaders to youth to help reduce the spread of disease in 4-H livestock.

Justification of technological modes for the formation of a stable single track at a thickness of a 30-μm layer of INCONEL 718 alloy
Authors: Sergey Adjamskiy , Ganna Kononenko , Rostislav Podolskyi
Published: August 2023

In selective laser melting (hereinafter - SLP), a single layer is created from a set of single tracks. The influence of the characteristics of the melt bath on the quality of con-struction of three-dimensional parts from various materials has been widely studied. Thus, finding the optimal scan speed is a trade-off between performance and quality of the build process. For certain printing factors (each material/equipment/part) it is nec-essary to find this optimum and this is one of the possible ways to improve the structure. The material used in this study was metal powder with a particle size of 10 to 45 μm. Chemical composition of INCONEL 718 powder in % by mass: Cr=17.79; Ni=53.5; Mo=3.12; Mo = 3.01; Ti=0.85; Nb=5.12. In this work, single tracks were created on a base platform made of the same material. At the same time, the power was changed in the range of 100...150 W in steps of 10 W, and the speed - in the range of 1300...3500 mm/s in steps of 100 mm/s. A total of 108 printing modes of single tracks, located at a distance of 1.5...2 mm from each other, were investigated. The thickness of the layer used in the experiments is 30 μm. A nomogram of printing parameters of single tracks made of INCONEL 718 alloy with a layer thickness of 30 microns was constructed. From the analysis of the nomogram, it was established that at the selected powers and scan-ning speeds of 1800...3400 mm/s, a stable track is formed, and when the speed is re-duced, spattering and remelting of the base metal is formed. It should be noted that samples with an overlap of 0.05 and 0.06 form an unstable, discontinuous track with droplet formation when the scanning speed is increased. The range of rational energy density of 37...41 J/mm3 was established for the construction of parts from the Inconel 718 alloy with a layer thickness of 30 μm.
A model for evaluating the correctness of the choice and efficiency of use according to the specified criterion of means of observation and control of objects of various purposes

The informational approach to solving the problems of observation and control is not used until now. The theory of measurements is based on the concept of entropy of random variables as a measure of their uncertainty (a set of sets of their possible values). The greater the number of values that a discrete random variable can take, or the greater the range of a continuous random variable, the greater their entropy. The amount of information obtained during measurement, control, research corresponds to the reduction of entropy from the value that characterizes the uncertainty that remains after obtaining the result of measurement of some parameters of the objective, phenomena, etc. We are talking about the relationship between accuracy, energy consumption and speed of measuring equipment. The issue of determining the threshold of the maximum possible accuracy of measurements of actual values, as well as obtaining generalizing information-energy ratios, which allow optimizing the procedure for choosing the main quality indicators of measuring equipment (MT) are highlighted. At the same time, making an attempt to more accurately determine the value of a measurement quantity, at some stage we will inevitably encounter the fundamental impossibility of their further clarification, which is ultimately related to the physically possible degree of certainty (in contrast to entropy, which characterizes uncertainty, and which is called non-entropy) of any measurement value, which is determined either by its personal discreteness (for example, when measuring the number of atoms of any substance in a mixture, it is meaningless to talk about the accuracy of the count, which is equal to 0.1 or 0.01 atom) or by its thermal (molecular) fluctuations . This micro-scale uncertainty limit is known as Heisenberg's Uncertainty Rule. The article proposes a model of evaluation and effective use of observation and control of objects of various nature. An "informational approach" to solving the problems of choosing and using measuring equipment in the conditions of the transition from traditional metrological indicators to informational ones is proposed. Let's give an example of the choice of FTA and the number of measurements by this FTA.
Optimal control of the belt conveyor as part of the technological process of ore mass transportation by controlling the belt tension
Authors: Kurganov I.D.
Published: August 2023

Optimum control of the conveyor in the transport flow due to the change of the belt tension is proposed in order to reduce the costs of transporting goods by increasing the life of the belt and reducing energy consumption costs. It is suggested to use tape tension control to eliminate the accidental slippage of the tape on the drum and its excessive abrasion during the transportation of the ore mass. To implement the control method being developed, it is necessary to use a mathe-matical model with distributed parameters, on the basis of which an optimal control model will be formed using the control principles considered in the work. Control of this kind of objects is determined by the technological need to compen-sate for the slippage of the belt on the drive drum of the conveyor, which is based on the process of transmission of motion using friction, and is implemented by changing the thermal field on the arc of the girth by changing the tension of the conveyor belt or the speed of rotation of the drum. Thus, from the point of view of the theory of control of systems with distributed pa-rameters, in the process of controlling the thermal field of the drive drum and belt, the controlled coordinate is the temperature or its distribution on the girth arc. As a result of a change in the circumferential force on the drive drum, the pressure of the tape on the lining of the drum changes, which leads to a change in the value of the heat flow both in terms of amplitude and spatial distribution (the value of the working sliding arc changes, i.e. the area of elastic interaction), which is compensated by con-trolling the tension ribbons

Notes sur la coordination verbale et la coréférence intraphrastique en basque souletin
Authors: Battittu Coyos Jean-Baptiste
Published: August 2023

Pour beaucoup de bascologues si le basque est une langue à "morphologie ergative", sa "syntaxe" est "accusative". Pour justifier ce point de vue on s'appuie entre autres sur les phénomènes de coréférence dans les phrases complexes et ceux dans les phrases a verbes coordonnés. Dans ces contextes le nom omissible (non repris) serait celui référant au participant unique, à cas absolutif (PUABS), ou celui référant à I'agent, à cas ergatif (AERG) Ceci relèverait donc d'une "syntaxe accusative".

En étudiant le conditionnement de l'omissibilité des noms dans les phrases à verbes coordonnés par eta en basque souletin, l'auteur s'apercoit qu'il n'est pas lié à une véritable contrainte syntaxique. Ce n'est pas systématiquement le nominal à cas ergatif qui est omis (référant à l'agent, AERG) dans les cas de coréférence. Le conditionnement est plus complexe : selon les énoncés ce sera la cohérence sémantique, le fait d'être le thème, d'être l'élément focalisé, etc. Si ce sont les noms type PUABS ou type AERG qui sont plus fréquemment non repris, c'est qu'ils cumulent souvent les caractéristiques suivantes : thème, agent et défini. Ce type de constructions à deux noms dans une meme proposition est rare en discours et du fait du risque d'ambiguité la coordination verbale avec non reprise d'un des noms semble peu employée.

The article places The Cosmographical Glasse (1559), William Cuningham’s magnum opus, in its English and European context. The Cosmographical Glasse appeared during the early modern revolution in mathematics that turned mathematics to practical use by applying it to geography for a better conceptualisation of the globe and universe. Despite the work’s encyclopaedic scope and its author’s pioneering attempt to help readers retrieve the growing body of data that was being amassed by scholars and explorers, the article argues that this first book in English to deal with navigation in relation to astronomy and cosmography stood at a crossroads between the old and new epistemologies as geography both resorted to and confirmed traditional sources of knowledge while challenging them. Limited and flawed as it may be, The Cosmographical Glasse nevertheless added another building block in the construction of a modern sense of cosmography.
Double Dutch: The Boate Brothers and Colonial Cosmography
Authors: Maley Willy
Published: August 2023

The article focuses on two Dutch doctors – the Boate brothers, Arnold (1606-1653) and Gerard (1604-1650) – medical graduates of Leiden University who moved to London in 1630 to work as practising physicians. The brothers contributed to diverse forms of knowledge as part of the new science, including agriculture, anatomy, entomology, geography, industrial history, medicine, metallurgy, mineralogy and theology, but are known primarily for Gerard’s posthumously published ground-breaking book, Irelands Naturall History (1652) for which Arnold did the spadework. The Boates collaborated on some of the most important intellectual enterprises of the seventeenth century, and worked alongside the leading intellectuals of the period, including innovative Irish thinkers James Ussher and Robert Boyle, and Samuel Hartlib, mainspring of a major knowledge network. The Boates’ activities in Leiden, London, Dublin and Paris furnish a prototype for interdisciplinary engagement. The brothers were key members of multiple interlocking extra-institutional groupings. Active as part of a Baconian Office of Address and engaged both in the Hartlib Circle and the more shadowy Invisible College, they laboured in the seedbed of what would later become the Royal Society and the Dublin Philosophical Society. Irelands Naturall History is a model of the regional history that Francis Bacon saw as a vital branch of cosmography.

The main purpose of the study was to determine the influence of school climate on the administration of technical colleges for sustainable skill development in Anambra State. The study was guided by three research questions and three null hypotheses. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population for the study was 37 comprised of principals and vice principals in the eight technical college in Anambra State. The instrument used for data collection was a 27 item structured questionnaire grouped into four sections. The instrument was validated, and reliability of the instrument was determined using Cronbach Alpha which yielded 0.71. Out of 37 copies of the questionnaire distributed 33 were properly filled and returned representing 89.19% return rate. Mean, standard deviation and t-test statistics were the statistical tools used for data analysis. From the result of data analysis, the study identified that school climates have influence on the administration of technical colleges for sustainable skill development. The study found that open school climate, close school climate and paternal school climate affects the administration of sustainable skill development. The findings of the study showed that there is no significant difference in the mean rating of experienced and less experienced administrators on the identified influence of school climate on the administration of technical colleges for sustainable skill development. Based on the findings, recommendations were made which include; technical college administrators should adopt and implement a healthy climate for sustainability of skill development programmes in their schools and open school climate should be implemented as it adopts collaborative team work and participatory in leadership decision making and goal attainment.

This study explored the protective potential of NADPH-oxidase inhibitors, apocynin and curcumin in diclofenac-induced cardiotoxicity via oxidative stress. A total of 80 male Wistar rats were used for the study. 80 rats were randomly divided into 8 groups of 10 rats each. Group 1(control) received distilled water while others received orally, per mg/kg body weight of treatments as follows: group 2(1000, apocynin, group 3(1000, curcumin), group 4(10, diclofenac), group 5(500, apocynin and 10, diclofenac), group 6(1000, apocynin and 10, diclofenac), group 7(500, curcumin and 10, diclofenac) and group 8(1000, curcumin and 10, diclofenac). The treatments were administered daily for 14 and 28 days. Administration of diclofenac significantly (p<0.05) elevated the activities of NAD(P)H oxidases type 2 and malondialdehyde while the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione level were significantly (p<0.05) decreased. There was no alteration in the activities of xanthine oxidase. However, pretreatment with 500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight of apocynin or curcumin attenuated all biochemical alterations induced by diclofenac in a dose dependent manner. Pretreatments with apocynin and curcumin inhibitors of NOX 2 was effective in ameliorating diclofenac-induced cardiotoxicity by alleviating the oxidative stress thus, highlighting the therapeutic potentials of apocynin and curcumin in the management of diclofenac-mediated cardiotoxicity.

Guiera senegalensis (“Senegal guiera” in English; “Sabara” in Hausa) (Combretaceae) is traditionally used for various purposes in Africa and other parts of the world with little or no scientific basis. It is thus the aim of this research to evaluate its biochemical and toxicity effects for its medicinal properties, safety, efficacy of treatment, and the optimum dose. The study qualitatively screened for phytochemicals, acute toxicity (LD50) and sub-chronic toxicity indices in the ethylacetate extract of the plant. The result of phytochemical screening revealed G. senegalensis ethylacetate leaf extract to contain some important phytochemical compounds that may attribute to the biochemical properties possessed by the plant. The result of acute toxicity study showed that the plant is practically non-toxic (oral LD50>5000mg/kg) when used for a short period of time and some signs of toxicity on heart in sub-chronic study (on long term of use). Also, the Haematological results indicated that the plant may have some effects on the immune system, might have caused an increase in RBC and haemoglobin production, and may also enhance O2 – transport capacity of the blood. Guiera senegalensis should therefore be used with care when used for a long period of time.

Background: Pneumonia can easily mimic malignancies. Pulmonary nodule finding raise concern for lung cancer. A single lung opacity less than 3 centimetres in diameter is referred to as a solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN). These nodules sometimes incidentally discovered during routine computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest in relatively asymptomatic patients. We present unusual case of pneumonia like mass with spontaneous resolution.Case: Woman, 38-year-old, with solitary pulmonary nodule which was found accidentally in the left lung upper lobe, without any respiratory symptoms in June 2021. In August 2021, a chest CT scan was done for evaluating and the solitary nodule of the left lung upper lobe had resolved spontaneously without any treatment. The patient was prepared for diagnostic bronchoscopy at Persahabatan Hospital with the findings of normal bronchi and the branches. A bronchial washing was performed on the left B1+2 segment and cytology, fungal, microorganism and molecular tuberculosis examination were performed.Discussion: Pulmonary solitary nodule in left lung upper lobe in the beginning and spontaneous resolution after 2 months evaluation without any specific treatment, consider period of pneumonia. Whenever a patient is found to have an SPN, it is essential to determine the patient’s risk for malignancy. It is important to consider any pulmonary nodule to be malignant or not, and how it presents on CT Imaging.Conclusion: Pulmonary nodule may be found during pneumonia and may resolve spontaneously. The possibility of malignancy must still be considered. Awareness of condition from the history is important to help reassure patient about the disease even before diagnostic procedure was made.
