Marketing Efficiency in the Distributive Trade Channel for Onions in Osun State
Authors: Adegbite Adedeji , Adejobi Adedeji Olusayo
Published: May 2018

The perishable nature of vegetables demands an effective and reliable chain/channel of distribution for fast disposal. Performance of the existing distributive channels, marketing efficiencies of the channel operators and factors that influenced the marketing efficiencies of the marketing operators are integral to effective marketing. Much attention has not been given to this in the agricultural marketing literature in Nigeria. Marketing efficiency analysis revealed that marketing of onions by bulk merchants, wholesalers and retailers is most efficient in one of the selected markets at 149%, 343% and 275% respectively. Transaction loss, sales volume, transportation cost, wages, association dues, stall rent and cost of capital are factors that affect onion marketers in the study area.

Aims and effort in seabird monitoring: an assessment based on Norwegian data
Authors: Anker‐Nilssen Tycho , Erikstad Kjell Einar , Lorentsen Svein‐Håkon
Published: May 2018

Environmental monitoring programmes are often confined by limited funds. By use of Monte Carlo simulations and GLM procedures, it is examined to what extent trends documented for some Norwegian seabird populations could have been obtained with less field effort. Changes in both breeding and wintering numbers are analysed. To minimise bias from merging different populations, only regional trends are considered. The results strongly suggest that some populations can be monitored adequately by less effort than that applied, i.e. still ensuring that the counts will reveal the various sources of variation in reliable proportions to the total variance in bird numbers. This may be achieved either by reducing the number of plots or by counting them less frequently, for example in alternate years only. General advise with respect to what changes deserve special attention from conservation authorities, and a discussion of the principles and considerations which should be taken into account when designing monitoring programmes for seabirds are presented.
A comparison of scat‐analysis methods to assess the diet of the wolf Canis lupus
Authors: Ciucci Paolo , Boitani Luigi , Pelliccioni Elisabetta Raganella , Rocco Massimiliano , Guy Ilaria
Published: May 2018

Six scat‐analysis methods were compared and tested for differential assessment of a wolf Canis lupus diet in the Northern Apennine Mountains, Italy. A sample of 217 wolf scats was analysed using standardised laboratory techniques, and the recovered undigested remains were quantified according to the following diet measurements: frequency of occurrence, dry weight (estimated and measured), relative volume, and biomass ingested (two methods). With the exception of one of the biomass methods, there was no significant disagreement between the procedures examined. However, some discrepancies between rankings from different methods indicated the sources of bias that should be accounted for to avoid misleading conclusions. Frequency data can be corrected to reduce some of the associated forms of bias, whereas rankings by weight and volume appear affected by the structure of undigested remains. Although to different extents, all the methods which rank food items according to direct measures of the undigested remains, i.e. by frequency, weight, and volume, suffer from the surface to volume ratio bias of varying prey sizes. Linear‐regression biomass models correct for the surface/volume bias, but there are some drawbacks when applying them, and they are limited to mammalian prey. Applicability of the biomass models should be evaluated on the basis of diet composition and prey sizes, and results carefully interpreted in concert with other field‐collected information. Interpretation of scat‐analysis data in order to assess the diet of wolves, as well as of other carnivores, would be greatly enhanced by comparing results obtained with two or more methods.
Introductions of wildlife as a cause of species extinctions
Authors: Atkinson Ian A.E.
Published: May 2018

Introduced animals, particularly mammals, continue to extinguish indigenous species in many parts of the world. This effect is greatest on oceanic islands but continental biotas are also affected. Case histories are used to illustrate difficulties of separating alien animal effects from other extinction agents, and of predicting outcomes. Further research is needed on synergistic and flow‐on effects that may follow establishment of a new alien species. Combatting the introduction problem is seen as primarily one of attitude rather than of scientific understanding. It is recommended that in each country: risk analyses are made to identify problem species likely to be introduced; preventive measures are maintained against invasions by these aliens; contingency plans are established for rapid responses to invasions; intensively managed refuge areas are created to protect vulnerable indigenous species from alien species already present; further research is coupled with these actions; information on the introduction problem is disseminated more widely within countries; and international sharing of information on preventive and control measures is promoted more vigorously.
Genetic characteristics of introduced birds and mammals
Authors: Sjöberg Göran
Published: May 2018

Introduced populations of birds and mammals may have genetic characteristics differing from those of naturally occurring populations. Such populations are often created by translocation of small numbers of individuals. This leads to founder effects and subsequent genetic drift, often resulting in larger differences in allozyme patterns between introduced populations than between naturally established populations. In many cases, a large proportion of alleles has been lost a few generations after the introduction. Under certain conditions, the mean level of heterozygosity is also severely reduced. Theoretically, a reduction in the number of alleles in a population will result in a lowered potential to track environmental changes, but there is scant evidence for this in introduced wildlife. Likewise, evidence is lacking for inbreeding depression occurring in introduced populations of birds and mammals in the wild. Finally, some conclusions are drawn concerning management strategies for wildlife introductions with respect to genetic considerations.
Biological control of possums Trichosurus vulpecula and rabbits Oryctolagus cuniculus in New Zealand
Authors: Sutherland Oliver R.W. , Cowan Phil E. , Orwin Joanna
Published: May 2018

Conventional control of two of New Zealand's principal vertebrate pests, the brushtail possum Trichosurus vulpecula and the European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus may not be sustainable on economic or social grounds. Biological control through the deliberate release of debilitating pathogens or vectored fertility control offers a potentially long‐term, target‐specific and humane option. However, the release of exotic pathogens, possibly genetically modified, into New Zealand raises major social and political concerns on both national and international levels which need to be weighed carefully against economic and conservation gains.
Directional long‐distance movements by white‐tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus in Florida
Authors: Kilgo John C. , Labisky Ronald F. , Fritzen Duane E.
Published: May 2018

Knowledge of directional tendencies among long‐distance movements by animals can be important in planning conservation and management strategies for wildlife at the landscape scale. The direction of 23 long‐distance movements (≥2 km) among a non‐migratory population of white‐tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus on the Osceola National Forest, Florida, during 1989–1991 was examined. Direction of dispersal by 10 yearlings (7 males, 3 females) was non‐uniform in distribution and averaged 95°. Direction of 13 excursions by 12 adults (2 males, 10 females) also was non‐uniform but was bimodally (east‐west) distributed; mean directions of the two distributions were 83° and 261°. Thus, both excursions and dispersals of radio‐instrumented deer were on an east‐west axis. No prominent landscape features that would direct deer movement were apparent. However, the fact that deer movements followed a consistent directional trend, even in a relatively homogeneous landscape, may have important implications for management of gene flow among small populations.
Arctic temperatures and the long‐tailed ducks shot in eastern North America
Authors: Boyd Hugh
Published: May 2018

The numbers of adult females and first‐winter long‐tailed ducksClangula hyemalisshot in eastern North America between 1972 and 1994 have fallen, though the kill of adult males shows no trend. Most of these ducks are likely to have originated in the Arctic Tundra climatic region of Canada. Although summer and autumn temperatures in that region have shown no trends since 1972, their annual variations can account for 19–53% of the variations in the breeding success of eastern‐wintering long‐tailed ducks, as reflected by the numbers of first‐winter birds in the kill.
Factors affecting clutch Size and Duckling Survival in the Common Goldeneye Bucephala clangula
Authors: Milonoff Markku , Pöysä Hannu , Runko Pentti
Published: May 2018

Female age and condition as well as nesting schedule may affect clutch size and chick survival, which both are important factors affecting the annual reproductive output. Clutch size and chick survival are often interrelated in altricial birds but in precocial species the interrelation is dubious. To study factors affecting clutch size and the survival of ducklings in the common goldeneye Bucephala clangula, we examined ringing‐recovery data, supplied by ringers, from seven intensively studied goldeneye populations from different parts of Finland. Due to large sample sizes it was possible to distinquish the effects of interrelated variables, e.g. female age and hatching date. Clutch size was significantly associated with both female age and hatching date; first‐time breeders and late breeders had small clutches. Clutch size was not associated with female condition. The recovery rate of ducklings was associated with hatching date (low in late broods) but not with female age, condition or brood size. The natal brood sizes of recruited female ducklings did not differ from annual averages, but the natal hatching date of recruited females was earlier and their mothers were older than annual averages in the populations into which the recruited females were bom. The timing of nesting was the most important factor affecting the reproductive output of common goldeneye females in a given year.
Mortality and survival of white‐tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus fawns on a north Atlantic coastal island
Authors: Long Robert A. , O'Connell Allan F. , Harrison Daniel J.
Published: May 2018

Mortality and survival of white‐tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus fawns (N = 29) were studied from birth to one year of age during 1991–95 on Mount Desert Island (MDI), Maine, where deer hunting is prohibited, coyotes Canis latrans have become recently established, and protected U.S. National Park lands are interspersed with private property. The rate of predator‐caused mortality was 0.52, with coyote predation (N = 8) accounting for at least 47% of mortalities from all causes (N = 17). Mortality rate from drowning was 0.24 (N = 3), and from vehicles 0.14 (N = 3). For fawns radio‐collared as neonates, 10 of 14 mortalities occurred during the first two months of life. Annual rate of fawn survival was 0.26. Survival rate from six months to one year was 0.65 and four mortalities (two predation, two drowning) were observed during this interval. A subgroup of fawns (N = 11) captured near a residential area and along the periphery of a coyote territory had a higher rate of survival to one year of age (S = 0.67) than did fawns from all other areas (N = 18, S = 0.00). Recruitment to one year of age was lower than that observed in other deer populations in the northeastern United States. Low recruitment associated with coyote predation and mortality sources associated with humans appears to be limiting white‐tailed deer populations in some segments of this insular landscape.
Potential of reduction in carbon dioxide equivalent emissions via energy efficiency for a textile factory
Authors: AKAN Ahmet Erhan , AKAN Aytaç Perihan
Published: May 2018

Today,
one of the most important issues in the world is that the concentration of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is the fundamental reason for global
warming exhibits a severe increase in every passing year. It is a general view
that the most crucial step to succeed in mitigation carbon emissions is the
reduction of energy consumption. In this study, production and energy
consumption data only for year 2016 of an industrial textile factory in Turkey
were employed to explore carbon emission mitigation potential through energy
efficiency. The research consists of three steps listed as i) data collection,
ii) data processing and iii) data evaluation. Energy saving potential of the
industry has been determined with the help of the energy consumption relations
developed depending on data obtained from the factory by calculating the target
energy consumption for year 2017 and beyond. Also, the amount of reduction in
carbon emissions stemming from the amount of fuel saved thanks to energy
efficiency has been calculated. Energy saving potential for 2017 and later
years was found 98.9 TOE per year and also due to these saving, the amount of
the reduction in CO2 emissions of the factory will totally be 2.75
million-tones CO2 in comparison to year 2016. It is also seen that
financial savings will be approximately € 28,646.06 for the year 2017 and later
years.

Published: May 2018

Ostia è, dopo Roma, la città dell’Impero che ha restituito il maggior numero di iscrizioni latine. Dopo la pubblicazione del XIV volume del Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (1887) e del Supplementum Ostiense (1930), molto altro materiale è venuto alla luce, in gran parte nel corso dei ‘Grandi Scavi’ degli anni 1938-42, ma è rimasto in gran parte inedito. Da qualche anno un gruppo di studio italo-francese ha dato avvio a un progetto sistematico di pubblicazione. Il volume comprende circa 2000 iscrizioni funerarie provenienti da Ostia e conservate a Ostia (oltre a 168 perdute), con schede scientifiche e fotografie di alta qualità, eseguite a cura della competente Soprintendenza, che apportano un considerevolissimo contributo alla conoscenza dell’onomastica e delle famiglie della città, nonché agli Iura Sepulchrorum. Al catalogo seguono gli indici che adottano la tradizionale ripartizione tematica. Chiudono il volume una bibliografia abbreviata, gli indici delle fonti epigrafiche e le corrispondenze inventariali.
Tolerance and Enlightenment in Denmark: the theologian Christian Bastholm (1740–1819) and his attitude toward Judaism
Authors: Schwarz Lausten Martin
Published: May 2018

Christian Bastholm was one of the leading theologians in Enlightenment Denmark, and it is in his attitude towards Judaism and the Jews that we shall be able to get some ideas as to how his thoughts about tolerance and enlightenment were able to manifest themselves as to the limits he imposed on those ideas. To him, Jesus’ prediction of the destruction of Jerusalem and the statement that the Jews would be spread throughout the world meant that they would remain scattered for 1700 years and no one had succeeded by means of either threats or promises to induce them to abandon Judaism and become Christians. Bastholm was also involved in the conversion of Dr. Solomon de Meza and Jacob de Mesa from Judaism to Christianity. He knows that one must be tolerant and excuse the Jews who know no better and who have been raised in Judaism. At least in formal fashion he distances himself as a modern enlightened man from Christian prejudices, although he is himself susceptible to prejudice. Thus he acknowledges that the Jews who exercise their faith straightforwardly and truly, even if it is false, can be saved.

Вплив ЕМ-препаратів на агробіологічні та технологічні показники сортів винограду селекції ННЦ «ІВіВ ім. В. Є. Таїрова»
Authors: Кована О. О. , Тарасова В. В. , Мулюкіна Н. А.
Published: May 2018

Оцінено вплив препарату «ЕМ-агро» на показники продуктивності, а саме підвищення  врожайності до 37 %, в основному, за рахунок збільшення маси ягід. Інокуляція мікроорганізмів до екосистеми та їх включення до мікробних угруповань листкової поверхні винограду сприяла вилученню фенольних та барвних речовин, зниженню активності о-дифенолоксидази у дослідних зразків та запобіганню окислення фенольних речовин. Отримані результати дозволяють рекомендувати застосування ЕМ-препаратів для органічного виноградарства та виноробства як з точки зору підвищення продуктивності винограду, так і з огляду на покращення технологічних показників.

The study assessed the effect of the «EM-agro» drug on productivity, namely the increase in yields to 37 %, mainly due to the increase in the weight of berries. The inoculation of microorganisms into the ecosystem and their inclusion in the microbial groups of the leaf surface of grapes contributed to the removal of phenolic and colorants, the decrease of the activity of o-diphenol oxidase in the prototype and the prevention of the oxidation of phenolic substances. The results allow us to recommend the use of EM-preparations for organic viticulture and winemaking, both in terms of improving the productivity of grapes, and in view of improving technological performance.

It was established that cows of all lines are characterized by a high level of milk indicators. In the process of adaptation imported cows of German breeding showed a sufficiently high level of milk and fat in milk. Compared to them, the descendants of the next generation were distinguished by higher tastes, but were losing them in the fat content of milk, with the exception of Starbuck's and Chief's lines. Among the cows of Holstein breed of Ukrainian selection, preference for milk yield was found for Starbuck, Marshall and Chifa animals.
O que é ciência afinal?
Authors: Araujo Andréia Paula Ferreira
Published: May 2018

O trabalho apresenta as ideias elaboradas pelo autor Alan Chalmers na obra intitulada “O que é ciências afinal?”, considerada uma das melhores introduções à filosofia da ciência na atualidade. O autor explica de forma didática os métodos e conceitos que caracterizam a ciência, questionando inicialmente o status atribuído à atividade científica no contexto social e a visão simplificada sobre o verdadeiro objetivo dos domínios da ciência. Na obra o autor procura esmiuçar, a velha ortodoxia da filosofia da ciência pré-popperiana, seguindo da apresentação da concepção de renomados filósofos da ciência e os diversos debates que se desdobraram sobre o estatuto da verdade. Com estilo bastante amigável na arguição dos fatos históricos e atuais da ciência, o autor objetiva combater a chamada “ideologia da ciência”, mesmo reconhecendo que seu questionamento sobre “o que é ciência, afinal?”, foi presunçoso e que as generalizações universais em torno desta indagação não a explicam.

Published: May 2018

O ensino é muito marcado por metodologias tradicionais, o que acaba causando o desinteresse dos alunos. Por isso, apostar em metodologias diferenciadas, que atraiam a atenção dos discentes, pode ser uma boa solução, principalmente no que se refere ao ensino de Biologia. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo a utilização de paródias como recurso alternativo para o ensino de Zoologia dos Vertebrados. O estudo foi realizado em uma escola pública estadual da cidade de Manaus com duas turmas do 3o ano do ensino médio, após a realização de algumas aulas, foi solicitado que os alunos elaborassem paródias sobre o tema estudado. Através das paródias, percebemos a predominância dos ritmos que atualmente os jovens mais gostam, o que evidencia a aproximação da metodologia com o cotidiano dos alunos. Isso contribuiu para a motivação e o interesse dos alunos pelo conteúdo estudado, tornando a aprendizagem efetiva.
