BREEDING VALUE EVALUATION OF SIMMENTAL COWS BY LIFETIME PRODUCTIVITY DEPENDING ON AGE OF RETIREMENT AND ORIGIN
Authors: Ignat'eva Larisa , Sermyagin A.
Published: June 2024

The purpose of research is to study the variability of genetic assessments of cows of different origins for traits of lifelong milk production when varying the age of retirement in the population of Simmental cattle in Russia. The analyzed database included breeding cows of the Simmental breed that were retired in the pe¬riod 2001–2020; the total number of livestock was 47,868 head. Calculation of the breeding value of productive longevity was carried out using the BLUPF90 program based on the BLUP Animal Model methodology. The share of Simmental cows of foreign selection that were eliminated after the 1st and 2nd lactations was 61.2 %, and those lactating longer than 6 lactations was only 4.0 %, while cows of Russian selection were 12.3 % less eliminated during the first two lactation and are able to produce longer. Phenotypic values of lifetime productivity in Simmental cows for an equal number of lactations are significantly higher in animals of foreign selection: from 824 kg of milk when leaving after the 1st lactation to 4,210 kg when leaving after the 10th lactation, from 35.3 to 188.5 kg by lifetime amount of fat and from 27.3 to 190.9 kg by lifetime amount of protein, respectively. The maximum estimates of breeding value for the lifetime productivity of a cow of fo¬reign selection reach +115.7 kg of milk fat and +91.3 kg of milk protein for a productive life by the 7th lactation.In cows of Russian selection, the predicted maximum breeding value estimates are achieved by the 9th lactation with indicators of +111.0 kg of milk fat and +88.4 kg of milk protein during the period of productive use. Lifetime milk productivity is significantly higher in Simmental cows of imported origin (by +824...+4210 kg), as well as estimates of breeding value (by +27.5...+35.9 kg), however, domestic Simmentals had a longer use period – on average for 2 lactations.

Published: June 2024

The purpose of reseaech is to study the features of wound scar formation with “sutureless” and traditional (double-row suture) methods of closing a cystotomy wound, as well as to identify functional deviations of the operated organ through ultrasonographic studies in the early postoperative period. The study was carried out as part of the work of the Educational and Scientific Center of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Altai State Agrarian University. Surgical interventions and ultrasonographic studies were performed at the Department of Morphology, Surgery and Obstetrics in cats of British, Persian and outbred breeds (n = 19) admitted for clinical visits. In 8 animals, a “sutureless” connection of the edges of the surgical wound of the bladder was used, and in 11 cats, according to clinical indications, the traditional me¬thod of suturing was used. To determine the functionality of the operated bladder in the early postoperative period, all animals used in the experiment underwent ultrasound diagnostics on an HTI PU-2200 Vet apparatus with a 7Mz linear sensor. The use of an adhesive suture ensures correct reposition of the dissected layers of the bladder without entrapment of the mucous membrane, respectively, its subsequent necrobiosis, which ensures high biological tightness and rapid fusion of the edges of the surgical wound, resulting in the formation of a full-fledged elastic wound scar. The method of “sutureless” connection of the edges of a cystotomy wound cannot be used for degenerative changes in the tissues of the bladder. The use of a traditional double-row suture reduces the bladder cavity due to the massive tissue shaft that forms when the cystotomy wound is closed, leading to the formation of a massive postoperative scar and a decrease in the contractility of the operated organ. The choice of method for closing a surgical wound of the bladder depends on the morphofunctional state of the organ, the clinical status of the patient and the severity of the disease at the time of surgery.

Performer vs. Actor?: Grotowski and the Tradition of Italian Theatre
Authors: Tomasello Dario
Published: June 2024

This article is devoted to the provocative proposal of a plausible relationship between Grotowski’s last season (above all his idea of the Performer) and a certain tradition of the Italian actor’s theatre. We understand this relationship and this provocation essentially in terms of micro-theatricality and intra-theatricality. By intra-theatricality we mean that method of composition which is inscribed in the tranches de vie of layered, multi-generational actors, in their ability to reuse existential sequences and to reproduce on stage the complex relational routine that the company represents as a community. Apart from the fact that the distance between the twentieth-century Performer and the traditional Italian actor has often been emphasized, there is something in the traditional profile of the Italian actor that, in the mid-twentieth century, paradoxically coincides with the mission that Grotowski assigns to the Performer. The purpose of this article is to explore these analogies.

Published: June 2024

The article discusses the custom of saying good wishes in Bulgarian and Polish. It focuses on the sociolinguistic contexts and rules of linguistic etiquette in both languages. To explore the specific characteristics of this practice, we selected the most important traditional occasions of saying good wishes in Bulgaria and Poland. Here included are religious holidays such as Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and Easter; as well as specific holidays like name days, birthdays, marriages, wedding anniversaries, and events related to professional careers. Some Bulgarians, for example, find public holidays suitable to make good wishes informally. The article likewise discusses and compares diverse ways of saying wishes on the above-mentioned occasions. A brief presentation of the Bulgarian traditions serves only as a background to help Polish readers better understand the content and linguistic specifics of this custom. Attention is drawn to similarities and some interesting differences.
Paweł Sobolewski i jego "Poland" – pierwsze polonijne wydawnictwo periodyczne w USA z 1842 r.
Authors: Gerasik Janusz
Published: June 2024

The history of the magazine Poland is outlined against the background of the conditions faced by Polish exiles deported from Austria to the USA in March 1834. After a short period of support from American society, they were left to their own entrepreneurship. Most of them came from the nobility and did not know English, which significantly hindered finding employment. This article focuses on the figures of Paweł Sobolewski and Eustachy Wyszyński – exiles who managed to adapt to the unfamiliar conditions. Their biographies and achievements are brought closer; especially Sobolewski, who gained fame as a poet and the editor and publisher of the first English-language magazine „Poland,” dealing with Polish history and culture. The article details the circumstances of the periodical’s edition and its form and content based on copies preserved in the National Library in Warsaw. The second goal of the article is an attempt to collect Sobolewski’s literary achievements, scattered in American press. As a result of a selective query, over twenty of his works published in contemporary journals were compiled, indicating the titles of publications in which they were included, with the reservation that this list is not complete. A more comprehensive query of contemporary press in the USA may uncover new, previously unknown works of the editor of „Poland” and fill gaps in his biography.
Травмата от голямата промяна: полската и българската литература и преходът след 1989 година
Authors: Yanev Kristiyan
Published: June 2024

The article follows Piotr Sztompka’s concept of the social transformation as collective cultural trauma in the postcommunist countries. Its symptoms, adaptive strategies and impact on the cultural sphere are described in Bulgarian and Polish context with examples from both literatures. Even though the post-1989 transformation is related to a major liberalization and overhaul of the ideological control and censorship in literature – an overall positive development – certain authors emphasize on the negative aspects of this social change in the cultural field. Vladimir Zarev’s Decay and Jan Polskowski’s Traces of Blood are analyzed as examples of novels which depict these negative outcomes of the post-1989 period. The text compares their depiction of the main charecters’s struggles, as well as the traumatic nature of their adaptation on the new postcommunist societies.

Viruses are one of the most tenacious forms of life in nature. Their structure is actually very simple. They consist of two parts: an inner nucleic acid and an outer protein shell. In fact, the virus itself is not very strong, since it has no metabolic function, but it can parasitize living cells and use the functions and raw materials of parasitic cells to reproduce in large quantities. There are many forms and types of viruses, and coronavirus is just one type of virus, a zoonotic virus that is transmitted between animals and humans. At the beginning of the new year 2020, a sudden epidemic of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus affected the hearts of hundreds of millions of people. This article examines the progress of research on coronavirus of various types, as well as the clinical and epidemic features of COVID-19.

Mathematical Analysis of Nonlinear Differential Equations in Polymer Coated Microelectrodes
Authors: A Dorathy Cathrine , R Raja , R Swaminathan
Published: June 2024

A theoretical analysis is conducted on the electrochemical behaviour of micro disk electrodes coated with thin coatings of electroactive polymers. The main focus of efforts to characterize the planar diffusion chemical reaction within polymer-modified ultra-microelectrodes is the creation of a theoretical model that explicitly takes into account the potential for the polymer film to cover the inlaid micro disc support surface. Approximate formulae for the steady-state amperometric response and formulation of the boundary value problem are given. The impact of substrate concentration, mediator concentration and current responsiveness in the solution besides the polymer film is also investigated. Akbari-Ganji method (AGM) and differential transformation method (DTM), two adequate and widely available analytical methods, were utilized to determine the steady-state non-linear diffusion equation. The approximate analytical solution for the substrate concentration and mediator concentration and the current for the small experimental kinetic values and diffusion coefficients are presented. We additionally determine the problem’s numerical solution using the MATLAB tool. A satisfactory agreement can be seen when the numerical outcomes verify with the analytical findings.

This article investigates the use of the Elzaki transform on a generalized composite fractional derivative. To establish the framework for this inquiry, numerous essential lemmas about the Elzaki transform are presented. We successfully extract the solution to the reaction-diffusion problem using both the Elzaki and Fourier transforms, which include a generalized composite fractional derivative. We also look at special examples of the generalized equation, which helps us understand its applications and consequences better. The results show that the Elzaki transform is successful in dealing with complicated fractional differential equations, introducing new analytical approaches and solutions to the subject of fractional calculus and its applications in reaction-diffusion systems.
Syngas application in various engines
Authors: Riojas Gonzalez Héctor Hugo , Bortoni Anzures Liborio , Martínez Meza Elba Ericka
Published: June 2024

Current engines are not designed to use syngas as fuel, which presents challenges such as differences in air-to-fuel ratio and fuel properties compared to traditional fuels like gasoline and diesel. This research recommends applying dual combustion, regulating pressure rate, using catalysts and employing EGR (exhaust gas recirculation), in order to improve engine efficiencies while reducing emissions. This study concludes that syngas is more effectively utilized in diesel and HCCI engines (homogeneous charge compression ignition) than in gasoline engines due to the cycle variations impacting efficiency. With technological advancements, syngas and other alternative fuels can be developed to reduce emissions and production cost, justifying their implementation.

The specific objectives were to 1) characterise older people being admitted for residential respite care, 2) obtain a preliminary estimate of the proportion of older people in residential respite care because of disruptive behaviour, and, 3) examine the relationship between residential respite care and disruptive behaviour. A quantitative approach using a cross-sectional survey was employed. The respite recipients were 35 older people with a mean age of 81.5 years (range 67-96 years). The respite recipients had been admitted for residential respite care to aged care hostels and nursing homes in a provincial city and its surrounding rural area. Nurses rated disruptive behaviour using the Dementia Behavior Disturbance Scale (DBDS). Additional reliability data for the DBDS are provided. The study found that the largest specific group of residential respite care users were widows (31.4%) who lived alone in their own home. The reason for over half (51.4%) of the residential respite admissions was to give a carer a ‘break’ from the older person. Although a large proportion (80%) of respite recipients were rated as having disruptive behaviour, the proportion of admissions because of disruptive behaviour was much less (28.6%). People with dementia (37.1%) scored significantly higher than people without dementia on the DBDS [F (1,33)=15.57, p<0.001]. Older people with dementia were prescribed a greater number of psychotropic medications. It is concluded that despite residential respite care being offered primarily to assist with carer burden it is not being used mainly for older people whose behaviour is problematic for the carers.
PREDICTORS OF INFLUENZA VACCINATION AMONGST AUSTRALIAN NURSES
Authors: Campos Werner , Jalalidin Bin
Published: June 2024

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that health care workers receive influenza immunisation annually. There is no available data on factors predicting influenza immunisation or nurses’ acceptance of the need for immunisation in Australia. To determine the predictors of influenza immunisation amongst nurses in Australia, a cross sectional survey of nurses in a 200-bed hospital was conducted. 232 of the 290 questionnaires were returned. In a logistic regression model, nurses having had previous influenza vaccination, severity of influenza if contracted, and, knowledge that the vaccine does not lead to clinical signs of influenza, were the factors most predictive of intention of influenza vaccination in the immediate future. Influenza immunisation rates among nurses may be increased by strategies addressing misconceptions about influenza immunisation and reinforcing predictors of influenza immunisation through education programs targeted to nurses.
LIVING WITH BREAST CANCER: THE INFLUENCE OF RURALITY ON WOMEN’S SUFFERING AND RESILIENCE. A POSTMODERN FEMINIST INQUIRY
Authors: Rogers-Clark Cath
Published: June 2024

This paper focuses on rural living as a dimension of women’s experiences of living through breast cancer. The findings presented emanate from a feminist narrative research project that examined the experiences of rural women from south-west Queensland who were long-term survivors of breast cancer. This project aimed to listen, report and interpret rural women’s stories of resilience in surviving breast cancer and moving on with their lives. The participants reported that there were both positive and negative aspects of living in a rural setting, especially when ill. Eight of the nine participants, however, felt strongly that the positive aspects of rural living outweighed the difficulties. This suggests that rurality in the context of health and illness must be considered as a multifaceted dimension, with resources to support cancer survivors building on the existing strengths in rural communities.
NURSING RESEARCH IN VICTORIA: A SNAPSHOT OF CURRENT POLICY
Authors: Happell Brenda , Johnston Linda , Pinikahana Jaya
Published: June 2024

The primary aim of this study was to determine the current profile of nursing research in the acute and psychiatric domains of hospitals/health services in Victoria. A self-administered questionnaire was developed by the authors to obtain information on the individual, environmental and organisational characteristics influencing nursing research activity within these settings. The questionnaire was distributed to 422 health services in Victoria. Eighty-eight responses were received representing a return rate of 20.9%. The respondents indicated a high level of interest in research and research utilisation, with a preparedness to provide organisational support. However, relatively few reported the articulation of nursing research into the organisations’ mission statement or employing nurses in dedicated research positions. The results suggest that organisations continue to be hampered by a number of barriers to increasing research activity and utilisation by nurses.
PERCEIVED EFFECTIVENESS OF CRITICAL INCIDENT STRESS DEBRIEFING BY AUSTRALIAN NURSES
Authors: O'Connor Jillian , Jeavons Sue
Published: June 2024

This paper examines the perceived effectiveness of stress debriefing by a sample of 129 Australian hospital nurses and the relationship of their perceptions to demographic variables such as qualifications and work area. The survey generally showed debriefing as helpful, but lack of helpfulness was also recognised because of time taken from personal lives and adverse group processes. Factor analysis identified five scales; three helpful (‘Understanding’, ‘Sharing’ , and ‘Cohesion’) and two, unhelpful (‘Procedure’ and ‘Dynamics’). Results suggested that helpfulness of debriefing was unrelated to demographic differences. Although further research is required to replicate these findings, they suggest that replacing the current ad hoc forms of debriefing available at the hospital with a standardised model would overcome shortcomings identified by respondents.
ETHICAL ISSUES ARISING WHEN PLANNING AND COMMENCING A RESEARCH STUDY WITH CHEMICALLY DEPENDENT PREGNANT WOMEN
Authors: Tuttle Lynette , Seibold Carmel
Published: June 2024

A good deal of qualitative research, particularly in the health sector, involves accessing vulnerable groups of people. One such group is chemically dependant pregnant women. Accessing and interviewing chemically dependent pregnant women presents significant ethical challenges which are compounded by the vulnerability of this group, who often experience feelings of guilt, mistrust of health professionals, and a myriad of related health problems which can impact on their unborn child. This paper explores some ethical issues in relation to access, informed consent, the interview process, potential exploitation, invasion of privacy, and confidentiality related to information obtained and the publication of results. Ways in which these issues can be addressed without compromising the research are discussed.
COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE BETWEEN REGISTERED NURSES AND MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS IN AUSTRALIAN GENERAL PRACTICE: MOVING FROM RHETORIC TO REALITY
Authors: Patterson Elizabeth , McMurray Anne
Published: June 2024

Collaborative practice between medical practitioners and nurses is purported to improve patient access to services, improve health outcomes, provide a more ‘seamless service’, increase efficiency of care, reduce health care costs and improve practitioner job satisfaction. Therefore, it is important to understand what hinders and what facilitates this type of interdisciplinary functioning. This paper will examine these factors in the context of the Australian general practice setting. It is timely because recent Government financial incentives have been provided to increase the number of nurses employed in this sector and also to expand their role. Awareness of these factors may enable nurses in general practice, both individually and collectively, to better understand the dynamics of role expansion in order to move towards collaborative partnerships with their medical colleagues. Recommendations to advance collaborative practice are given and a model of practice proposed that identifies possible autonomous, collaborative and dependent functions for nurses in general practice.
KEEPING HEART FAILURE PATIENTS AT HOME
Authors: Mooney Julia , Boxer Elaine
Published: June 2024

This qualitative study focused on the needs of heart failure patients in relation to staying at home and out of hospital. The patient’s view was seen as critical as the literature predominantly identifies patients’ needs from the health care professional’s perspective. The findings highlight the fact that people with heart failure do not identify they have ‘needs’ in terms of living, but rather they accomplish tasks in day to day living using the knowledge they have been given. Recommendations from this research include reevaluation and further development of current hospital based programs, extension of these programs into the community and greater communication between the heart failure patient and the health care team.
CONSUMER NOTES CLINICAL INDICATORS: DETERMINING INTER-RATER RELIABILITY WITH MULTIPLE RATERS, NOMINAL CATEGORIES AND SEVERAL CASES
Authors: Gaskin Cadeyrn , O'Brien Anthony , Hardy Derrylea
Published: June 2024

A method of determining inter-rater reliability when there are multiple raters, nominal rating categories and several cases is described and applied in the development of an instrument for auditing the ANZCMHN (1995) standards of practice for mental health nursing in New Zealand. Clinical statements (n=41) from the O’Brien et al (2002a, 2003) study, which reflected nursing behaviours contributing to the achievement of the standards of practice, were used to audit consumer files. During two Phases, the clinical indicator statements were refined and rules for judging the achievement of each statement from case note documentation were established. The resultant statements have adequate inter-rater reliability for the assessment of nursing practice with respect to the ANZCMHN (1995) standards of practice.
