Le temps suspendu : les manuscrits de Léonard de Vinci à travers la photographie entre la fin du XIXe siècle et le début du XXe siècle
Authors: Bernardoni Andrea , Kieffer Fanny
Published: June 2023

Entre la fin du XIXe et le début du XXe siècle, les techniques d’impression photographique et photomécanique ont connu un développement considérable et ont trouvé une application croissante dans l’édition. Dans ce contexte, la production de fac-similés du corpus des manuscrits de Léonard de Vinci a été colossale, pour lesquels différentes techniques d’impression ont été adoptées selon les cas. Après des initiatives autonomes en matière d’édition, une commission ministérielle a été créée en 1905 pour l’édition nationale des manuscrits de Léonard de Vinci, qui a réussi à mener une campagne photographique pour acquérir l’ensemble du corpus des manuscrits de Léonard de Vinci, dispersés dans diverses bibliothèques et musées européens. En raison de diverses vicissitudes historiques, le travail éditorial de la commission a abouti à la publication partielle des œuvres de Léonard de Vinci. Cette contribution cherche à reconstituer l’histoire des événements éditoriaux qui ont conduit à la publication du Codex Atlanticus et à la naissance d’une communauté de chercheurs qui, dès le début du XXe siècle, ont commencé à travailler systématiquement sur les manuscrits de Léonard de Vinci.

Authors: Palanisamy Vasan , PC Sakthivel , Pineda Lane , Han Yanming
Published: June 2023

Objective: A pivotal study was designed to investigate the effect of Hydroxy (HYC) Cu, Zn, and Mn on egg quality and laying performance of chickens under tropical conditions.Methods: A total of 1,260 Babcock White laying hens (20-wk-old) were randomly assigned to one of 4 treatments with 15 replicates of 21 hens each in a Randomized Complete Block Design. The birds were reared for 16 weeks and were fed the corn-soybean meal diets supplemented with one of the following mineral treatments: T1, inorganic (INO, 15 ppm CuSO4, 80ppm MnSO4 and 80 ppm ZnO); T2, Hydroxy-nutritional level (HYC-Nut, 15 ppm Cu, 80 ppm Mn, 80 ppm Zn from Hydroxy); T3, Hydroxy-Low (HYC-Low, 15 ppm Cu, 60 ppm Mn, 60 ppm Zn from Hydroxy); T4, Hydroxy plus inorganic (HYC+INO, 7.5 ppm HYC Cu+7.5 ppm CuSO4, 40 ppm HYC ZnO+40 ppm ZnSO4, 40 ppm HYC Mn+40 ppm MnSO4). The egg production was recorded daily, while the feed consumption, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and egg mass were determined at the end of each laying period. The egg quality parameters were assayed in eggs collected over 48 h in each laying period.Results: Overall, no significant effect of treatments was observed on percent egg production, egg weight and FCR (p>0.05). Feed intake was significantly lower in birds fed Hydroxy plus inorganic (p<0.05) diet. The supplementation of HYC-Low significantly increased the egg mass compared to the other treatments (p<0.05). HYC supplementation alone or in combination with INO elicited a positive effect on shell thickness, shell weight, shell weight per unit surface area, yolk colour, albumen and yolk index for a certain period (p<0.05), but not throughout the whole laying period.Conclusion: Dietary supplementation of HYC-Low (15-60-60 mg/kg) showed similar effects on production performance and egg quality characteristics in laying hens as compared to 15-80-80 mg/kg of Cu-Zn-Mn from inorganic sources. This indicates that sulphate based inorganic trace minerals can effectively be substituted by lower concentration of hydroxyl minerals.

Authors: Leng Dong , Ge Liangpeng , Sun Jing
Published: June 2023

Objective: To carry out a comprehensive production planning of the existing Rongchang pig population from both environmental and genetic aspects, and to establish a closed population with stable genetic diversity and strict pathogen control, it is necessary to fully understand the genetic background of the population.Methods: We genotyped 54 specific pathogen free (SPF) Rongchang pigs using the Zhongxin-1 Porcine Breeding Array PLUS, calculated their genetic diversity parameters and constructed their families. In addition, we also counted the runs of homozygosity (ROH) of each individual and calculated the value of inbreeding coefficient based on ROH for each individual.Results: Firstly, the results of genetic diversity analysis showed that the effective population size (Ne) of this population was 3.2, proportion of polymorphic markers (PN) was 0.515, desired heterozygosity (He) and observed heterozygosity (Ho) were 0.315 and 0.335. Ho was higher than He, indicating that the heterozygosity of all the selected loci was high. Secondly, combining the results of genomic relatedness analysis and cluster analysis, it was found that the existing Rongchang pig population could be divided into four families. Finally, we also counted the ROH of each individual and calculated the inbreeding coefficient value accordingly, whose mean value was 0.09.Conclusion: Due to the limitation of population size and other factors, the genetic diversity of this Rongchang pig population is low. The results of this study can provide basic data to support the development of Rongchang pig breeding program, the establishment of SPF Rongchang pig closed herd and its experimental utilization.

Published: June 2023

Sheep and goats can efficiently convert low quality forage into high-quality meat which contains specific nutrients and quality traits. Carcass traits and quality attributes of sheep and goat meat depend upon several factors and one of most effective strategies amongst these is feeding regimens. In this review, the major aspects of feeding regimens affecting growth rate, carcass traits and quality attributes of sheep and goat meat are thoroughly discussed, with a particular focus on physical-chemical composition, flavor profile, and fatty acid (FA) profile. Grazing lambs and kids receiving concentrate or under stall-feeding systems had greater average daily gain and carcass yield compared with animals reared on pasture only. However, growth rate was higher in lambs/kids grazing on pastures of improved quality. Moreover, the meat of grazing lambs receiving concentrate had more intense flavor, intramuscular fat (IMF) content, and unhealthy FA composition, but comparable color, tenderness, juiciness, and protein content compared to that of lambs grazed on grass only. In contrast, meat of concentrate-fed lambs had more intense color, greater tenderness and juiciness, IMF and protein contents, and lower flavor linked to meat. Additionally, the meat of kids grazed on concentrate supplementation had higher color coordinates, tenderness, IMF content and unhealthy FA composition, whereas juiciness and flavor protein content were similar. In contrast, kids with concentrate supplementation had superior color coordinates, juiciness, IMF content and unhealthy FA composition, but lower tenderness and flavor intensity compared to pasture-grazed kids. Thus, indoor-finished or supplemented grazing sheep/goats had higher growth rate and carcass quality, higher IMF content and unhealthy FA composition compared to animals grazed on grass only. Finally, supplementation with concentrate increased flavor intensity in lamb meat, and improved color and tenderness in kid meat, whereas indoor-fed sheep/goats had improved color and juiciness as well as reduced flavor compared to pasture-grazed animals.

Published: June 2023

Objective: Cows that are nursing get around 80% of their glucose from liver gluconeogenesis. Propionate, a significant precursor of liver gluconeogenesis, can regulate the key genes involved in hepatic gluconeogenesis expression, but its precise effects on the activity of enzymes have not yet been fully elucidated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of propionate on the activity, gene expression, and protein abundance of the key enzymes involved in the gluconeogenesis of dairy cow hepatocytes.Methods: The hepatocytes were cultured and treated with various concentrations of sodium propionate (0, 1.25, 2.50, 3.75, and 5.00 mM) for 12 h. Glucose content in the culture media was determined by an enzymatic coloring method. The activities of gluconeogenesis related enzymes were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay kits, and the levels of gene expression and protein abundance of the enzymes were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot, respectively.Results: Propionate supplementation considerably increased the amount of glucose in the culture medium compared to the control (p<0.05); while there was no discernible difference among the various treatment concentrations (p>0.05). The activities of cytoplasmic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCK1), mitochondrial phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCK2), pyruvate carboxylase (PC), and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6PC) were increased with the addition of 2.50 and 3.75 mM propionate; the gene expressions and protein abundances of PEPCK1, PEPCK2, PC, and G6PC were increased by 3.75 mM propionate addition.Conclusion: Propionate encouraged glucose synthesis in bovine hepatocytes, and 3.75 mM propionate directly increased the activities, gene expressions and protein abundances of PC, PEPCK1, PEPCK2, and G6PC in bovine hepatocytes, providing a theoretical basis of propionate-regulating gluconeogenesis in bovine hepatocytes.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the effects of different types of xanthophyll extracted from marigold on the growth performance, skin color, and carcass pigmentation.Methods: A total of 192 healthy 60-day-old yellow-feathered broilers weighing an average of 1,279±81 g were randomly allocated to 4 groups, each with 6 replicates and 8 broilers. The 4 treatments were as follows: i) CON group, fed with basal diet; ii) LTN group, supplemented with lutein; iii) MDP group, supplemented with monohydroxyl pigment including dehydrated lutein, β-cryptoxanthin, and α-cryptoxanthin; iv) LTN+MDP group, supplemented with lutein and monohydroxyl pigment in proportion to 1:1. The supplementary content of LTN, MDP, and LTN+MDP was 2 g/kg. Skin color was measured after 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of feeding the dietary treatments. The breast, thigh, and abdominal fat of slaughtered chickens were stored in cold storage at 4°C for 24 hours and then the meat color of lightness (L*), redness (a*), and yellowness (b*) values was determined.Results: The results showed that all treatments enhanced the yellow scores of subwing skin on day 14, 21, and 28 (p<0.05), and the mixture of lutein and monohydroxyl pigment promoted the yellow scores of shanks on day 14, 21, and 28 (p<0.05). The mixture of lutein and monohydroxyl pigment increased the yellow scores of beaks and all treatments enhanced the yellow of shanks on day 28 (p<0.05). In addition, all treatments improved the yellow (b*) values of breast and thigh muscle, moreover, the monohydroxyl pigment and the mixture of lutein and monohydroxyl pigment enhanced the values of redness (a*) and yellow (b*) of abdominal fat (p<0.05).Conclusion: In summary, different types of xanthophyll extracted from marigold significantly increased the yellow scores of skin color and the yellow (b*) values of carcass pigmentation. Especially, the mixture of lutein and monohydroxyl pigment was more efficient on skin color.

Published: June 2023

Objective: Hairy vetch is considered to improve the nutritional value of corn because of its high protein and mineral levels. To better understand the mechanism underlying hairy vetch regulated whole-plant corn silage fermentation, this experiment investigated the fermentation quality and bacterial community of whole-plant corn and hairy vetch mixture.Methods: Whole-plant corn and hairy vetch were mixed at ratios of 10:0 (Mix 10:0), 8:2 (Mix 8:2), 6:4 (Mix 6:4), 4:6 (Mix 4:6), 2:8 (Mix 2:8), and 0:10 (Mix 0:10) on a fresh weight basis. After ensiling 60 days, samples were collected to examine the fermentation dynamics, ensiling characteristics, and bacterial communities.Results: Mix 0:10, Mix 2:8, and Mix 4:6 showed poor fermentation characteristics. Mix 8:2 and Mix 6:4 silages showed high quality, based on the low pH, acetic acid, and ammonia nitrogen levels and the high lactic acid, crude protein, and crude fat contents. The bacterial diversity was affected by the mixing ratio of the two forage species. The genus Lactobacillus dominated the bacterial community in Mix 10:0 silage, whereas with the addition of hairy vetch, the relative abundance of unclassified-Enterobacter increased from 7.67% to 41.84%, and the abundance of Lactobacillus decreased from 50.66% to 13.76%.Conclusion: The silage quality of whole-plant corn can be improved with inclusion levels of hairy vetch from 20% to 40%.

Objective: This study aims to identify heat shock protein70-2 (HSP70-2) and protamine-1 (PRM1) mRNA and protein in Madura bull sperm and demonstrate their relation as bull fertility biomarkers.Methods: The Madura bull fertility rates were grouped based on the percentage of first service conception rate (%FSCR) as high fertility (HF) (79.04%; n = 4), and low fertility (LF) (65.84%; n = 4). mRNA of HSP70-2 and PRM1 with peptidylprolyl isomerase A (PPIA) as a housekeeping gene were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, while enzyme-linked immunoassay was used to measure protein abundance. In the post-thawed semen samples, sperm motility, viability, acrosome integrity, and sperm DNA fragmentation index were analyzed. Data analysis was performed on the measured parameters of semen quality, relative mRNA expression, and protein abundance of HSP70-2 and PRM1, among the bulls with various fertility levels (HF and LF) in a one-way analysis of variance analysis. The Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between semen quality, mRNA, proteins, and fertility rate.Results: Relative mRNA expression and protein abundance of HSP70-2 and PRM1 were detected and were found to be highly expressed in bulls with HF (p<0.05) and were associated with several parameters of semen quality.Conclusion: HSP70-2 and PRM1 mRNA and protein molecules have great potential to serve as molecular markers for determining bull fertility.
Nur Symbolpolitik? Differenzierung und Reintegration staatlicher Kerngewalten
Authors: Genschel Philipp , Jachtenfuchs Markus , Migliorati Marta
Published: June 2023

Constitutional differentiation is often assumed to match perfectly with reality. We argue, however, that this is often not the case in core state powers. Constitutional differentiation often does not lead to the exclusion of the non-integrated member states (“outs”) from the policies of the integrated member states (“ins”) but to their reintegration by different means. We present a cost-benefit-model which argues that both “outs” and “ins” often have strong functional and political incentives to seek reintegration after an earlier decision for differentiation because the costs of exclusion are too high. We use a novel dataset of reintegration opportunities to map trends and patterns of reintegration across policy fields, reintegration instruments and member states in core state powers. We conclude by arguing that reintegration is a frequent but fragile phenomenon through which “ins” and “outs” cope with the costs of exclusion.
Die Begründung der Wissenschaft aus reiner Vernunft
Authors: Färber Andreas
Published: June 2023

Dass die Prinzipien wissenschaftlichen Erkennens a priori sein, sie also aus reiner Vernunft entspringen müssen, diese Überzeugung ist für Kant ebenso selbstverständlich wie für die Rationalisten. Wie aber diese Prinzipien selbst begründet werden können, darüber bestehen höchst unterschiedliche Auffassungen. Descartes und Spinoza beabsichtigen, das mathematische Erkenntnisideal der Evidenz zu universalisieren und in einer Substanzlehre metaphysisch zu fundieren. Kant dagegen liefert nicht nur eine scharfe Kritik der dogmatischen Substanzmetaphysik, sondern setzt sich auch eingehend mit dem rationalistischen Programm einer Mathesis universalis auseinander: Ihm zufolge muss der intuitive (mathematisch-anschauend verfahrende) Vernunftgebrauch aus der Philosophie gänzlich ausgeschlossen werden, so dass in der philosophischen Prinzipienlehre allein diskursiv verfahren werden kann. Dann aber verbleibt einzig das transzendentalphilosophische Verfahren, um dennoch zu einer apriorischen Grundlegung der (Natur-)Wissenschaften zu gelangen. Die Arbeit bietet eine detaillierte Analyse der beiden Begründungsversuche. Besonderes Gewicht liegt dabei auf dem Zusammenhang der methodischen Grundlegung mit der jeweiligen Metaphysik: Ohne Rekurs auf die letztere muss das Verständnis der ersteren mangelhaft bleiben.
Vorgängige Gemeinsamkeit
Authors: Zimmermann Stephan
Published: June 2023

Die Sozialontologie fragt nach der notwendigen und hinreichenden Bedingung dafür, dass etwas etwas Soziales ist. Die neuere und ältere Literatur zeigt dabei einen paradigmatischen Analyseansatz, den die vorliegende Studie dokumentiert, widerlegt und durch einen anderen Ansatz zu ersetzen beansprucht. Ihr leitender Gedanke ist, dass die Ontologie des Sozialen an den Begriff impliziten Wissens zu knüpfen ist. Unser Bewusstsein ist immer auch von dem ihm noch zugrunde liegenden impliziten Wissen her zu analysieren, und jenes trägt bereits soziale Züge.

Authors: García Planas María Isabel , Taberna Torres Judit , Rina García Natalia
Published: June 2023

El objetivo de este libro es desarrollar y trabajar, desde el álgebra lineal, aspectos vinculados al desarrollo sostenible, para sensibilizar sobre esta cuestión. Para ello, se han elaborado diversos proyectos, de dificultad variable y de distinto tiempo de ejecución, que se resuelven utilizando el álgebra lineal, en los cuales se enfatizan distintos aspectos de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) de las Naciones Unidas. El libro se estructura en capítulos que se corresponden con cada uno de los ODS. En cada uno de ellos, se presentan dos proyectos, que pueden resolverse a partir de los distintos programas docentes de la asignatura Álgebra Lineal que se imparte en escuelas de ingeniería y facultades de ciencias. Los proyectos presentados invitan a analizar en profundidad los problemas que plantea llevar a cabo los distintos hitos de los ODS. Cabe señalar que algunos de los proyectos permiten profundizar en más de un ODS, si bien cada objetivo es analizado al detalle en su correspondiente capítulo.

Published: June 2023

Aquest llibre conté problemes d’optimització o de factibilitat en l’àmbit de l’enginyeria d’organització. Per a cada problema es dóna l’enunciat inicial, s’explica com es resol i, amb comptades excepcions, s’indica la solució o solucions. En molts casos es presenten qüestions addicionals i es dóna resposta. En els enunciats, es parteix de la descripció d’una situació i de vegades d’un o diversos objectius i després es van plantejant i resolent qüestions al fil de reflexions que suscita el mateix procés de resolució. Els enunciats i els comentaris corresponents estan organitzats en capítols d’acord amb el tipus de qüestió plantejada i no amb el de la tècnica que s’ha d’aplicar per respondre-la. Cada capítol inclou una breu introducció en què es defineix la temàtica a què es refereix. A la introducció o en el curs d’alguns capítols es presenten, a vegades críticament, conceptes i eines. Cada capítol correspon a un tipus genèric de problema (per exemple: optar, seleccionar o vincular).

Due to the need for molnupiravir (EIDD-2801, MK-4482) anti-COVID-19 agent, in the present report, we have systematically investigated the effect of different solvents, acids (as catalyst), temperature, and other parameters which play rolls in De-ketalization process of its key intermediate. At the first glance, it might seem to be easy, but the complex nature of MK-4482 agent, and also the ultra-high purity of the crude (which is required for an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API)), make this process more complicated. As would be shown below, even a little change in the type of solvent, solvent ratio, the type or the amount of catalyst, and the temperature could directly change the reaction fate (it may lead to emergence of un-controlled impurity profile, or even it could block the reaction). However, in this work, we have been able to run this de-ketalization process only in water as the whole of the system. Here, it was observed that the high energy water molecules have been able to hydrolyze the ketal intermediate of MK-4482.

Published: June 2023

The dynamic development of the world economy, the change of technological patterns, the search for highly efficient ways of doing business to maximize accounting and satisfaction of the economic benefits of society have actualized the problems of irrational nature management, predatory attitude to natural resources, as well as manmade accidents and catastrophes, which have become more frequent in recent years, accidents cause irreparable damage to the environmental safety of territories and regions. In this regard information efficiency, and environmental safety in the 21st century is recognized as one of the main factors ensuring the sustainable development of the region. The socio-ecological principles of the World Bank, the UN Green Economy Concept, the European Green Course Program, the Strategy 2050 for Environmental Safety of the Republic of Kazakhstan and other important provisions indicate that the problem of ensuring environmental safety in the context of sustainable development of the region is not national, but international, global. The consequences of climate crises, weather anomalies, man-made accidents and catastrophes carry threats and risks for the entire planet, which confirms the importance of taking into account the environmental component to achieve sustainable development goals. The necessity of applying the criterion "safety-stability" is shown. Therefore, the study suggests the factors for ensuring environmental safety in a closed-cycle economy and the principles of its implementation.

Lack of studies linking student support services and financial assistance, particularly the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) undergraduate scholarship, to college outcomes such as persistence has been one of the issues in STEM education in the Philippines. Even though previous findings have shown the clear impact of financial support on student success, local researchers have only focused on student satisfaction with the Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES) and persistence. This is why the researchers decided to determine the relationship between the satisfaction of scholarship services provided by the DOST in terms of scholarship updates, support for scholars’ organizations and activities, staff assistance, support for scholarship-related problems, and scholarship benefits and college persistence components, namely: academic integration, social integration, support service satisfaction, degree commitment, institutional commitment, and academic conscientiousness. A descriptive-correlational design was utilized with a convenience sampling technique to select 67 DOST scholars as respondents. Self-reported assessments were used to measure the variables. The results show that the students were very satisfied with the scholarship services, and they are highly persistent in all indicators except academic conscientiousness. However, there is no significant relationship between satisfaction with scholarship services and college persistence. Studying other potential variables related to scholarship services and implementing policies to improve college persistence is recommended.

Nghiên cứu này tập trung vào xác định các yếu tố tác động đến ý định tiêu dùng thực phẩm xanh của người dân trên địa bàn Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh (HCMC). Dựa trên mô hình cấu trúc bình phương nhỏ nhất từng phần (PLS-SEM) và ma trận tầm quan trọng và hiệu quả (IPMA), mô hình được kiểm định với bộ dữ liệu 200 quan sát. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy mối quan tâm về môi trường, chất lượng dịch vụ và ý thức về sức khỏe có tác động tích cực đối với ý định tiêu dùng thực phẩm xanh. Ngược lại, mối quan hệ giữa niềm tin vào nhãn hiệu, giá cả sản phẩm và ý định tiêu dùng thực phẩm xanh lại không có ý nghĩa thống kê. Bên cạnh đó, kết quả phân tích IPMA cho thấy yếu tố chất lượng dịch vụ là yếu tố được thực hiện kém hiệu quả nhất cho dù có tầm quan trọng cao nhất đối với ý định tiêu dùng. Vì vậy, các kiến nghị được đưa ra tập trung vào việc nâng cao chất lượng dịch vụ nhằm khuyến khích ý định tiêu dùng thực phẩm xanh của người dân.
