Ukrainian migrants on the Polish labor market
Authors: Lukonin Valentyn
Published: September 2023

The article attempts to analyze publications that were published in Polish Internet publications and were devoted to the topic of the presence of Ukrainian migrants (and from 24.02 - refugees) at the Polish labor market. A contextual comparison of the situation of Ukrainian citizens in Poland before and after the beginning of the Russian invasion was carried out, changes in the structure of their employment and prospects for further employment were identified. The list of social guarantees provided by the Polish government to ensure maximum adaptation of Ukrainian citizens in the social and labor environment is considered. The potential threats and fears arising in the Polish society in connection with the large-scale immigration of the Ukrainian population are indicated. The purpose of the article is to highlight the current situation of Ukrainian migrants on the Polish labor market and the main problems they face in the process of employment, as well as to study the transformation of employment practices, sociodemographic characteristics and forecasts in the field of employment. The conducted analysis shows that Ukrainian workers were and remain in demand on the Polish labor market, but some aspects of their employment (gender ratio) and, accordingly, the sphere of labor activity have changed. It is noted that the military actions, which are currently the main reason for the departure of Ukrainians (to a greater extent - Ukrainian women) abroad, were added to socio-economic motives, namely: a higher level of wages and quality of life in a neighboring country, more favorable employment conditions, geographical and cultural proximity. The author emphasizes that the results of the analyzed studies conducted at the time of writing the article, regarding the positions held by Ukrainian migrants, may change somewhat after the collection of statistical data by the Polish services responsible for the tax sector.

Holocene sediment facies in the incised valley of the Ma River Delta were clarified by using analysis of LKTH6 core (30 m depth) such as sedimentary structure analysis, grain-sized, micro-paleontological (foraminifera, spore and pollen, and diatom), clay minerals characteristics, and Radiocarbon dating (14C). Ten sedimentary facies were identified, including (1) flood plain silty clay facies, (2) Salt marsh clayey silt facies, (3) Tidal flat sandy silty clay facies, (4) Tidal creek and tidal branch silty clayey sand facies, (5) Bay silty clay facies, (6) Prodelta silty clay facies, (7) Delta front silty sand facies, (8) Mouth bar sand facies, (9) Point bar silty sand faces, and (10) Alluvial plain silty clay facies.

The sea level change after the last glacial was recorded by sediment facies and radiocarbon dating (14C). It showed that the Thanh Hoa coastal area drowned around 9500 yr. B.P. by transgression. At 9200 yr. B.P. initial marine flooding surface, tidal flats were formed in the coastal estuary area. During the period of 9200 -8300 yr. B.P., due to rapid sea level rise, the study area became an estuarine around 7600 yr. B.P., the sea level rose slowly, leading to the sea level rise rate being smaller than the sedimentary accumulation rate, and the delta was formed.

У статті досліджуються процеси сушіння щільного шару зернових культур, таких як пшениця, ячмінь, овес, гречка при мікрохвильовому нагріванні. З метою обґрунтування вибору способу підведення мікрохвильової енергії вивчалося безперервне і переривчасте (осцилююче) підведення за однакових умов. Наведено опис експериментальної установки, що дозволяє проводити дослідження нагріву сипучих матеріалів при мікрохвильовій, мікрохвильово-конвективній та конвективній сушці. Представлено методику оцінки теплового ККД мікрохвильової камери. Встановлено зміну ходу залежності ККД від маси завантаження та вихід на граничне значення, після якого зростання маси не впливає на ККД. Наведено результати дослідження температури та вмісту вологи при сушінні зернових матеріалів у мікрохвильовому полі. Отримано залежності середньоінтегральних вмістів вологи і температур зерна від часу при різних масах зразка. Зі збільшенням маси тривалість процесу при однаковому вологозніманні зростає, а температура матеріалу знижується. Показано, що при мікрохвильовому теплопідведенні спостерігаються періоди прогріву, постійної та падаючої швидкостей сушіння, характерні і за інших способів теплопідведення. На підставі даних про розподіл температур і вмісту вологи в трьох- і чотиришарових зразках розрахований коефіцієнт ослаблення мікрохвильової енергії в шарі. Показана суттєва нерівномірність вмісту вологи і температур за товщиною зразка в умовах вологонепроникної основи експериментального осередку. Наведено результати зіставлення швидкості сушіння, питомих витрат енергії та кінцевих температур шару при мікрохвильовому та пульсуючому мікрохвильовому підведенні енергії. На підставі даних про розподіл температур і вмісту вологи в трьох- і чотиришарових зразках розрахований коефіцієнт ослаблення мікрохвильової енергії в шарі

In both developed and developing nations, there are a number of empirical studies that had assessed the roles tax revenues play in augmenting economic growth; however, there is a literature gap on what is known about tax collection and utilization system and their effects on small and medium scale enterprises’ performance in developing country like Nigeria. In line with the above, this study was carried out with the view to assess the relationships between tax collection and utilization systems and the performance of small and medium scale enterprises in Nigeria. The theories of expediency and benefits received from tax revenues were employed as the theoretical underpinning and the descriptive survey design involving questionnaire was used. A sample of 190 employees and 50 owners of small and medium scale enterprises were employed, hence the study sample comprised of 240 respondents. The dependent variable is small and mediums scale performance (measured by quality of service, profitability and turnover) while the independent variables are tax collection and utilization systems. Data obtained in the survey were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, and Karl Pearson correlation); diagnostic statistics (variance inflation factor) and inferential statistics (multivariate regression). In specific, the multivariate regression result indicated that tax collection and utilization systems negatively and significantly affect SMEs performance in areas of quality of service, profitability, and turnover in Nigeria. It was recommended that Nigerian government should put stringent mechanisms aimed at enhancing the collection and utilization of tax revenues and more importantly, multiple tax collections that seek to frustrate small and medium scale enterprises’ performance should be adequately addressed.

Tax system creates various incentive effects that can influence an individual’s educational choice. Many studies have been conducted on the effect of tax incentives on education, however, no study that reveals such an effect has been conducted in Russia. With this in mind, we aimed to analyse whether the tax incentives for education influence the household’s decisions to receive an education in Russia. In this context, we analysed the correlation between the number of individuals who received tax deductions and the number of individuals who received education by regions of the Russian Federation. The data source was tax reporting data of Federal Tax Service and the 2020 census data. The research methodology includes methods of regression and correlation analysis. The results show that tax incentives for education have low impact on the of household’s decisions to receive an education in the Russian Federation. Tax deduction has a stable but weak positive association with total numbers of students. The calculated parameters of the model explain the dependence between the deduction for expenses for own education and quantity of people who receive education by 9.2% and dependence between the deduction for expenses for full-time education of children and quantity of people who receive education by 5.5%. There is low probability that the announced rise of the limit of social deduction in 2024 will change the situation. But government should continue to provide federal funding through tax benefits to promote voluntary compliance by fostering favourable taxpayer views of the tax system.
Tax-Cut Policies, Accounting Conservatism, and Corporate Tax Burden Stickiness: Empirical Analysis from China

This study explores the relationship between tax-cut policy, accounting conservatism, and corporate tax burden stickiness in Chinese listed companies from 2008 to 2019. The primary objective is to identify the underlying reasons for continued high levels of corporate tax burdens despite the introduction of tax-cut policies. An econometric model was developed to analyze the transmission mechanism of these policies affecting corporate tax burden stickiness to achieve this goal. The tax burden stickiness refers to the mismatch between the objective and subjective tax burdens. Results reveal four primary findings: Firstly, macro tax-cut policies induced micro-enterprises to soften their accounting conservatism, leading to increased corporate tax burden stickiness. Secondly, the reduced quality of corporate accounting reports, influenced by tax-cut policies, contributes to corporate income tax burden stickiness. In contrast, the VAT tax burden remains unaffected. Thirdly, compared to state-owned enterprises, private enterprises responded more sensitively to tax reduction policies by significantly decreasing their accounting conservatism level and increasing corporate tax burden stickiness. Finally, high-tech manufacturing enterprises recorded the highest increase in corporate tax burden stickiness, suggesting that different robust accounting policies exist across various industries and may be critical factors determining corporate tax burden stickiness. In practical terms, this study provides important insights into improving businesses’ understanding of tax burden patterns, enabling improved resource allocation of taxes accordingly. Additionally, it focuses on enhancing accounting conservatism to alleviate the pain of high tax burdens on such businesses. Ultimately, minimizing the stickiness of tax burdens will allow fiscal and taxation policies to better flex their regulatory muscles toward achieving effective and stable economic growth.

Tax can be imagined as a contribution by citizens to the elected government to carry out its functioning smoothly. Tax compliance is a problem that has existed for as long as taxes. Paying taxes is always a difficult process because it has a direct impact on the taxpayer’s residual income. As a result, everyone tries to avoid tax by tax management and tax evasion which is against the law. Tax evasion is among the main issues that the developing nations have been facing. Broader empirical research regarding individual income tax compliance behavior is scant in India. The present study aimed at exploring the determinants of taxpayer’s behavior in meeting personal tax obligation and examining the interrelationship between the factors and their contribution towards tax compliance from Indian context. The study is based on primary data collected through structure questionnaire from 1068 sample respondents covering nine districts of Odisha, a State of India by following stratified random sampling method. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) identify three major factors i.e., economic, institutional, and social factors of tax compliance. Structural equation model has been adopted to achieve our objectives. It is evident from the results that variables under economic and institutional factors have a significant carry compared to variables under social factors. This also indicates about concern of individuals regarding their disposable income. Therefore, government should think of lowering tax rates and simultaneously keep on simplifying the tax compliance procedures and strengthen and expedite tax audit system.

RESUMO Objetivo: analisar a distribuição espacial da cobertura vacinal em menores de um ano e os fatores socioeconômicos associados ao cumprimento das metas preconizadas em Minas Gerais. Métodos: estudo ecológico, realizado nos 853 municípios do estado. Foram analisadas as coberturas vacinais da pentavalente, poliomielite, meningocócica C, febre amarela, rotavírus, e pneumocócica conjugada 10-valente. Realizou-se estatística de varredura e regressão logística múltipla para identificar agrupamentos espaciais e fatores associados ao cumprimento das metas de cobertura. Resultados: a análise espacial revelou aglomerados com risco de baixas coberturas para todas as vacinas. Número de famílias com renda per capita até 1/2 salário, Índice Mineiro de Responsabilidade Social e percentual da população pobre ou extremamente pobre se mostraram associados ao cumprimento das metas preconizadas. Conclusões: os resultados são úteis para projetar intervenções quanto à estruturação dos serviços de vacinação e implementação de ações para aumentar a cobertura vacinal nos aglomerados com menor propensão à vacinação.
Controle burocrático e suporte organizacional no setor público: efeitos mediados pelo empoderamento psicológico no engajamento
Authors: Campos Waleska Yone Yamakawa Zavatti , Cavazotte Flávia de Souza Costa Neves
Published: September 2023

Resumo O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar em que medida o controle burocrático e o suporte organizacional afetam o engajamento no trabalho de funcionários públicos e o papel mediador do empoderamento psicológico. Para alcançar esse objetivo, foi realizado um levantamento junto a 159 servidores públicos de dois tribunais de contas brasileiros, com posterior aplicação de análise fatorial exploratória, técnicas de parcelamento, análise fatorial confirmatória e regressão de mínimos quadrados ordinários (OLS). Os resultados evidenciam que há mediação total negativa entre controle burocrático e engajamento no trabalho por meio do empoderamento psicológico. O efeito do suporte organizacional no engajamento no trabalho é parcial e positivamente mediado pelo empoderamento psicológico. Assim, o empoderamento psicológico parece ser um importante mecanismo por meio do qual os funcionários públicos reagem a características do contexto de trabalho, sendo enfraquecido em situações de controle burocrático exacerbado ou de falta de suporte organizacional, com consequências para o nível de entusiasmo e dedicação. Os achados são discutidos à luz de suas implicações teóricas e práticas para a gestão no setor público.
Framework to understand and address the systemic corruption in local governments
Authors: Canales Oliver David Meza , Pérez-Chiqués Elizabeth , Martínez-Hernández Aldo Adrián
Published: September 2023

Abstract The diagnoses made to justify anticorruption measures tend to minimize the complexity of the phenomenon of corruption. In line with the garbage can model (Cohen, March, & Olsen, 1972), where solutions look for problems, the corruption problem is characterized as something “addressable” by the anticorruption policy, which brings serious consequences, such as the implementation of a fallible policy. The article reviews the phenomenon of the fallibility of anticorruption policies. We argue that anticorruption policies are likely to fail when they are designed without recognizing that the type of corruption faced is embedded in a wider scheme of systemic corruption. We trace our argument along a series of implications that emerge from the Corruption Consolidation Framework (CCF) (Meza & Pérez-Chiqués, 2021). Supported by the CCF, we derive a series of implications to reorient the discussion and future lines of research around understanding and addressing the phenomenon of systemic corruption.
The work engagement cycles of federal civil servants
Authors: Camões Marizaura Reis de Souza , Gomes Adalmir de Oliveira , Rizardi Bruno , Lemos Joselene
Published: September 2023

Abstract Civil servants have different levels of work engagement throughout their working lives. These variations are the work engagement cycles, which occur based on available resources and work environment demands. This study describes the work engagement cycles of federal civil servants based on their professional life histories, highlighting the demands and resources of the work environment in their professional trajectory. Using the job demands-resources (JD-R) model and the cognitive maps methodology, it was possible to identify a positive cycle of work engagement, a reinforcing cycle (related to opportunities and appreciation), and two disequilibrium cycles, one related to dysfunctional productivity and the other to administrative discontinuity. The analysis of the engagement cycles allowed the identification of work environment resources that interfere in the engagement of public servants in different ways. Finally, the concept of “coping cycle” was used as a subsidy of policies for disengaged servants.

Published: September 2023

RESUMO A segurança do paciente na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) preocupa-se em reduzir erros e eventos adversos relacionados a assistência à saúde, porém há poucos estudos elaborados com aplicação de modelos avaliativos sobre a temática neste contexto. Este trabalho objetivou desenvolver e propor um modelo avaliativo da segurança do paciente na APS. Realizou-se um estudo de avaliabilidade por meio da análise documental, revisão de literatura, proposição dos modelos e validação dos modelos por meio da conferência de consenso. Idealmente, a teoria do programa, apresentada no Modelo Teórico, evidencia que os recursos, a cultura de segurança, os processos assistenciais e a educação permanente são componentes que viabilizam a implantação do programa, que precisam ser discutidos e aprimorados com envolvimento da gestão, dos profissionais e dos próprios pacientes/familiares e cuidadores, sendo, portanto, explorados no Modelo Lógico e assumidos como fundamentais para a oferta de cuidados mais seguros na APS quando interagem articuladamente. Na Matriz de Análise e Julgamento, esses quatro componentes assumem o mesmo peso no cálculo que determinará o grau de implantação da segurança do paciente na APS. A modelização apresentada pode ser utilizada por diversos atores, de diferentes contextos, para explorar e aprimorar a segurança do paciente na APS.
Instituting and instituted in medical education: movements triggered by the Mais Médicos (More Doctors) Program
Authors: Matias Maria Claudia , Verdi Marta , Finkler Mirelle
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT The present study focused on mapping the forces involved in implementing the medical programs created from the Mais Médicos Program (MMP) and their effects on training practices and subjects who experience them. The field of research was two new medical programs in the South and Northeast regions of the country. We found that two sets of forces operate in the programs through a qualitative research approach based on the cartographic method, expressions of the instituted and instituting in medical education. The influences of the biomedical model, labor market, and the movements of political polarization underway in the national scenario were highlighted in the field of the instituted. The student movements for change in education, those to reaffirm the Unified Health System and collective health, and those that support training focused on a generalist profile stood out among the instituting forces. In summary, the program’s proposal for medical education operated as an interference device in these programs when associated with a group context of collective construction, shared management of the programs, and pedagogical practices anchored in the perspective of the socio-historical production of the health-disease-care process and the medical institution.

Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT Objectives. The study aims to assess the trend of neonatal, post-neonatal, and infant mortality from 1996 to 2020 within the metropolitan region of the state of Rio de Janeiro and other regions. Methods. Ecological study using the region as analysis unity. Data were accessed from the Mortality Information System and Live Birth Information System in the capital Rio de Janeiro, in the neighboring areas of Niterói, São Gonçalo, Baixada Fluminense, and the remaining regions of the state of Rio de Janeiro State. We applied Poisson multilevel modeling, where the models’ response variables were infant mortality and its neonatal and post neonatal components. Fixed effects of the adjusted models were region and death year variables. Results. During the 1996-2020 period, the Baixada Fluminense showed the highest infant mortality rate as to its neonatal and post neonatal components. All adjusted models showed that the more recent the year the lower the mortality risk. Niterói showed the lowest adjusted risk of infant mortality and its neonatal and post neonatal components. Conclusion. Baixada Fluminense showed the highest mortality risk for infant mortality and its neonatal and post-neonatal components in the metropolitan region. The stabilization in mortality rates in recent years was identified by the research.

RESUMO O objetivo do presente estudo é investigar a distribuição temporal das taxas de malformações congênitas no estado do Rio Grande do Sul e sua associação com o uso de agrotóxicos. A pesquisa é de abordagem quantitativa, do tipo descritivo exploratória, realizada durante o primeiro semestre de 2022. O estudo foi conduzido através da associação da ocorrência de malformações com o uso de agrotóxicos, que foi calculada por meio dos Odds Ratios, sendo o Intervalo de Confiança (IC) adotado para as amostras de 95%. Houve variação nas taxas de malformações congênitas ao longo dos cinco períodos analisados. Os resultados indicam que há probabilidade da ocorrência de malformações no estado do Rio Grande do Sul estar associada ao uso de agrotóxicos. Todos os valores de variações percentuais anuais foram significativos e a presença de valores positivos indica tendência de aumento anual da incidência de malformações congênitas no Rio Grande do Sul. É evidente ainda que há variabilidade no número de casos notificados para todas as malformações incluídas no estudo ao longo do período analisado. Ressalta-se a importância de prevenção da exposição aos agrotóxicos, visto que o uso extensivo e inadequado desses está associado a efeitos deletérios na saúde humana.

Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT The objective of this article is to analyze the structural conditions of health units and the guidelines, objectives/goals of municipal management related to the quality of those services in the capitals according to Brazilian regions, aimed at caring for persons suffering from Diabetes Mellitus. For that, a logical model and sub-dimensions/variables were developed to direct the search for data in the 3rd cycle of the Program for Improving Access and Quality of Primary Health Care. Descriptive analyzes of the capitals were performed by region of Brazil. For document analysis, we used the Health Plans of municipalities that presented a percentage of inadequacy greater than 50% for at least four dimensions among the seven analyzed in this study. The study revealed the need to adapt the structural conditions of Basic Health Units for most Brazilian capitals in some of the aspects analyzed, with worse results for physical structure and equipment. Based on the analysis of municipal health plans, particularities, strengths, and weaknesses were evidenced that deserve to be considered for defining the agenda and directing actions by health management. The identified conditions of inadequacy can have a negative impact on the quality of care for persons suffering from diabetes in Primary Health Care.

Objective: to evaluate the association of the risk classification categories with the Modified Early Warning Score and the outcomes of COVID-19 patients in the emergency service Method: a crosssectional study carried out with 372 patients hospitalized with a COVID-19 diagnosis and treated at the Risk Classification Welcoming area from the Emergency Room. In this study, the patients’ Modified Early Warning Score was categorized into without and with clinical deterioration, from 0 to 4 and from 5 to 9, respectively. Clinical deterioration was considered to be acute respiratory failure, shock and cardiopulmonary arrest Results: the mean Modified Early Warning Score was 3.34. In relation to the patients’ clinical deterioration, it was observed that, in 43%, the time for deterioration was less than 24 hours and that 65.9% occurred in the Emergency Room. The most frequent deterioration was acute respiratory failure (69.9%) and the outcome was hospital discharge (70.3%). Conclusion: COVID-19 patients who had a Modified Early Warning Scores > 4 were associated with the urgent, very urgent and emergency risk classification categories, had more clinical deterioration, such as respiratory failure and shock, and evolved more to death, which shows that the Risk Classification Protocol correctly prioritized patients at risk of life.

Abstract Background Central venous catheters are essential for management of hospitalized patients, but their insertion is subject to complications that can make them unusable and/or cause patient morbidity. There are few data on the incidence of these complications and the variables associated with these outcomes in Brazil. Objectives To determine the incidence of mechanical complications and failures of short stay central venous catheters fitted by the vascular surgery service at a teaching hospital and identify variables associated with their occurrence. Methods This was a prospective cohort of 73 attempts to fit patients with a central venous catheter performed by the vascular surgery service at a teaching hospital from July to October of 2022. Results Mechanical complications occurred in 12 cannulation attempts (16.44%) and there were 10 failures (13.70%). The factors associated with mechanical complications were less experienced operators (p < 0.001), less specialized operators (p = 0.014), a failed attempt prior to requesting help from the vascular surgery service (p = 0.008), and presence of at least two criteria for difficulty (p = 0.007). Conclusions The local incidence of mechanical complications and central venous cannulation failures was similar to rates described in the international literature, but higher than rates in other Brazilian studies. The results suggest that the degree of experience of the person fitting the catheter, history of a failed prior attempt, and presence of at least two criteria for difficulty identified before the procedure were associated with worse outcomes.

ABSTRACT Canine distemper causes demyelinating leucoencephalitis, like human multiple sclerosis. The encephalic microenvironment, including the extracellular matrix, is an important key factor of this lesion, already described in multiple sclerosis but not proved in canine distemper. Thereby, the aim of this work is to characterize the extracellular matrix in the encephalon of dogs with canine distemper. Samples of cortex and cerebellum of 14 naturally infected dogs with canine distemper virus were collected after being sent for necropsy in the Animal Pathology Laboratory of the Veterinary Hospital of Uberlândia Federal University. The samples were processed as routine, stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H.E), Masson Trichrome (MT), Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) and Reticulin, and then described. Areas of demyelination and necrosis were quantified in percentage of stain. The TM samples showed blue stain around vessels and meninge, which indicates a higher deposition of collagen in lesioned areas. At necrotic areas, reticulin stain pointed to a disorganization in the vascular wall and PAS-stained pink granules in macrophages. We conclude that the extracellular matrix seems to participate in the pathogeny of canine distemper. More research should be done to better detail the involvement of these molecules in the course of this disease.

ABSTRACT Feed additives, such as β-glucans, nucleotides, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and α-tocopherol (vitamin E) can improve fish immunity and contribute to enhanced zootechnical performance of the fish. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of vitamin- mineral premix with or without the inclusion of an immunostimulant boost (β-glucans, nucleotides and vitamins C and E) on the zootechnical performance, hemato-immunological parameters, histological changes, and survival of Nile tilapia juveniles. To this end, isocaloric and isoproteic diets were prepared with three different concentrations of vitamin-mineral premix (1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 kg ton-1); additionally, the effects of 4% immunostimulant boost in the diet were examined considering six diets (without the immunostimulant boost: 0.1%, 0.15%, and 0.2%, and with the immunostimulant boost: 0.1% I, 0.15% I, and 0.2% I). We used 24 experimental units, each including 15 fish. Nile tilapia juveniles (1.88 g±0.25) were fed for 50 d with supplemented diets. Further, zootechnical indexes; histological changes in the liver, spleen, and intestine; intestinal morphology; and hemato-immunological parameters were evaluated. The fish that received supplementation showed higher zootechnical values, compared to those that did not receive the supplementation of immunostimulant reinforcement. Weight gain (30.45g±3.06), daily weight gain (0.60g±0.06), final weight (32.41g±3.15) and feed conversion (0.95±0.06) were higher in tilapia fed with an inclusion concentration of 0.2%. Hematological parameters were not affected by either the pre-mix concentrations or the booster of the immunostimulant. There was an increase in the number of intestinal folds, length of the fold, total area and number of goblet cells in the group supplemented with immunostimulant reinforcement. Supplementation with the immunostimulant promoted growth and improved intestinal morphology and immunological parameters of Nile tilapia juveniles.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the forage mass and accumulation and nutritional value of cultivars Kennedy and BRS Integra (Urochloa ruziziensis), subjected to two planting densities (15 and 30 plants/m2) and three stubble height (15, 30 and 40 cm). The experimental design was a randomized block, in a 2x2x3 factorial, with three replications. The experimental period comprised two agrostological years. Plants managed under lower stubble height (15cm), showed lower leaf:stem ratio and higher canopy heights at harvest, based on the light interception of 95%. The highest forage mass was observed to cultivar BRS Integra under lower planting density (15 plants/m2). The two cultivars showed high nutritive value, without influence of studied factors. In general, the cultivars were similar for most variables studied. Planting with 15 plants/m2 and moderate defoliation (30cm residue) resulted in higher forage accumulation, especially in the second year after planting. These targets are suggested for the management of U. ruziziensis cultivars.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the impact of pig breed on stress levels and meat quality in two commercial pig farms in the north-eastern part of Romania. One farm raised 52 Mangalita pure-bred pigs and the other 82 Duroc x Landrace crossbred pigs. Serum cortisol, a biomarker of stress, and serum glucose were measured before and after slaughtering, while meat pH was measured at 45 minutes and 24 hours post-mortem. Results showed that the Duroc x Landrace crossbred pigs had higher serum cortisol and glucose values before and after slaughtering compared to the Mangalita purebred pigs. The meat pH values of the two breeds were similar, with the pH45 and pH24 values being 6.67 and 5.48 for Duroc x Landrace crossbred and 6.53 and 5.52 for Mangalita purebred, respectively. These results suggest that pig breed can have an impact on stress levels and meat quality, with Duroc x Landrace crossbred pigs showing higher stress levels and meat quality being not affected by the breed of pig. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and to understand the underlying mechanisms.

ABSTRACT Natural sources are microbiological species and medicinal plants, which could be potential new sources for development of drugs against different diseases. Coccidiosis affects many animals and leads to great economic losses. Drug-resistant strains of Eimeria species have emerged because of overuse and misuse of drugs. In vitro, using Eimeria papillata oocyst and earthworm (Eisenia fetida), we evaluated the anticoccidial and anthelmintic effect of Teucrium polium leaves extract (TPLE). Using infrared spectroscopy showed the presence of thirteen compounds for TPLE. Mebendazole (10 mg/mL) caused paralysis and earthworm death by 13.91±0.373 and 18.2±0.980 min, respectively, while, for TPLE (100 mg/ml) were 4.23±0.077 and 4.817±0.386 min. Also, the histological study revealed obvious surface architecture abnormality for treated worms. Moreover, TPLE (300 mg/mL) and formalin (5%) at 72, 96, and 120 hrs led to inhibition of sporulation by approximately 100% with marked deformities, while TPLE (200, 100, 50, and 25 mg/mL), amprolium, DettolTM, and phenol at 120 hr approximately 65.9%, 23.6%, 4.8%, 3.2%, 12.6%, 68.4%, and 46.6%, respectively. This pilot investigation revealed that TPLE possesses anticoccidial and anthelmintic activity, encouraging additional testing in vivo to create a new medication for the treatment of coccidiosis and helminthiasis.

ABSTRACT Natural products are safe environmentally friendly agents and have no negative impact on the environment, they can be used to combat parasitic diseases. Helminthiasis and coccidiosis are parasitic diseases that harm both health and the economy. This research aimed to see how Anethum graveolens leaves extract (AGLE) worked as an anti-parasitic modulator during oocyst sporulation of an Eimeria papillata infection. FT-IR phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of eight compounds. The time required to induce paralysis and death in worms at the highest concentration (200 mg/mL) was 4.57±0.26 and 5.22±0.10 min, respectively. In an in vitro study, AGLE (300 mg/ml) inhibited sporulation by approximately 100% after 72 and 96 hr. AGLE (200, 100, and 50 mg/ml), amprolium, DettolTM, and phenol induced variable inhibition levels at 96 hr of 5.54%, 1.01%, 37.33%, 81.33%, and 89.33%, respectively. Our findings suggest that AGLE has potent anthelmintic and anticoccidial properties that could be further developed into a novel therapeutic agent.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To review the literature regarding prosodic acoustic features found in communicative attitudes related to confidence, certainty, and persuasion. Method: A systematic review was carried out in the databases VHL, Web of Science, Science Direct, SciELO, and SCOPUS with no temporal restriction. Data Extraction: The data from each article was extracted based on the STROBE Statement checklist. To analyze the prosodic variables, the data were subdivided according to Couper-Kuhlen’s (1986) theoretical assumptions, and the variables were grouped into “temporal organization of speech,” “intensity,” and “pitch”. Conclusion: The data suggested that there are relevant but not consensual variables to characterize a persuasive speech and some variables can be considered as positive, negative, or neutral in different language contexts. The variables that stand out as relevant and are characteristic of the persuasive or confidant speech were faster speech speed and higher intensity. The only negative variable that stood out regarding persuasion was the increase in pitch.
