Scenario Development in Planning Military Actions to Prevent a Crisis Situation
Authors: ROMAN Daniel
Published: June 2023

The Russian-Ukrainian military conflict is the most unexpected event having a major societal impact, not only on the conflicting parties, but also on the entire international community. The irreparable damage to critical infrastructures, the loss of human life and the constantly increasing considerable material damage are just three indicators that signal possible future crisis situations. The question that is justifiably raised is “Could this military conflict have been prevented?” Implicitly, another series of questions arises, such as “Can future crisis situations generated by this military conflict be prevented?” When expressing the answers to such questions, the military and societal security specialists turn to specific tools such as threat predictions and scenarios. In this context, we can talk about planning military actions in a much more realistic way, observing the battles taking place in the Ukrainian space, which is a new reality in Eastern Europe. The lessons learned following recent military conflicts refer to the complexity of the combat actions generated by the digitalization of the confrontation space and the interaction of the societal domains in a difficult-to-decipher manner. The experimental vignette methodology – EVM – applied in the development of the threat scenarios by using podcasts, supports the planning of the military actions as a solution to prevent crisis situations. The optimization of the process of teaching and training the military specialist through experimental vignettes opens new horizons on planning the military actions as interactions of the military component with the other components of the societal domains that ensure the transition from a macro- to a micromilitary confrontational environment.

Ethnobotany of pokot communities on bamboo species in the dryland areas of West Pokot County, Kenya
Authors: Mandila Brexidis , Namaswa Timothy
Published: June 2023

Communities in dryland areas of West Pokot in Kenya rely on fragile degraded ecosystems that have led to famines, low productivity and income. Although cultivating bamboo provides solutions to part of these problems, the benefits of bamboo cultivation are species and site-specific. However, no research has established the ethnobotanical knowledge of bamboo in West Pokot, making it difficult to upscale its cultivation. The study aimed at 1) determining the level of awareness of bamboo 2) the uses of bamboo 3) factors motivating and hindering its cultivation. The study adopted an analytical cross-sectional survey research design. Simple random and purposive sampling techniques were used in selecting the study site. A Systematic random sampling technique was used in selecting households to be used in establishing local knowledge through questionnaires. Data were analysed using chi-square test of fit, chi-square test of association and cochran’s Q test of K-related samples. Results showed that farmer to farmer approach (38.9%) was the main source of information. Among the respondents, 70.6% of them were aware of bamboo out of which 67.6% were aware of its uses. The commonly identified uses were soil conservation (48.1%), shade provision (39.5%), fencing material (38.8%) and construction material (36.9%). The findings revealed that 74.1% of the respondents were willing to cultivate bamboo due to its environmental, economic and cultural benefits among others. However, inadequate knowledge of bamboo planting and management techniques (51.8%) is the main impeding factor to the cultivation of bamboo in the region. Therefore, forestry and agricultural extension agents in the county should sensitize and train farmers on bamboo establishment and management for farmers to realize its full potential

Published: June 2023

A utilização de ferramentas de geotecnologias para o planejamento do uso sustentável dos recursos hídricos proporciona aos piscicultores e gestores públicos a possibilidade de expansão da produção, causando menores impactos ao meio ambiente. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar microbacias hidrográficas, como ferramentas de gestão local para utilização dos recursos hídricos para a atividade piscícola. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa documental em sites oficiais do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística; Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais e Mapbiomas. Os dados da pesquisa foram processados em ferramentas de geotecnologias como QGIS e Google Earth para elaboração dos mapas da microbacia hidrográfica do Rio Branco, integrante da bacia hidrográfica do Paraná 3. Os índices geomorfológicos e uso do solo apontam para risco mínimo de inundações e amplo uso do solo para agricultura na microbacia. Foram mapeados 67 viveiros escavados totalizando uma área de 48,51 hectares destinados à piscicultura. A estimativa de aporte de Nitrogênio (N) durante o cultivo piscícola foi de 98.148 kg/ha/ano, enquanto de fósforo (P) foi 11.787 kg/ha/ano. A microbacia do Rio Branco reúne condições ideais para a atividade piscícola, pois possibilita uma opção para diversificação da agricultura familiar, com baixos aportes de efluentes poluentes na bacia hidrográfica.
Ensino-aprendizagem de língua estrangeira: da dicotomia à interação por meio da memória social
Authors: Kohwer Rudy , Da Silva Edvania Gomes
Published: June 2023

Analisamos, aqui, estudos sobre o ensino-aprendizagem do francês como língua estrangeira (LE) e fazemos uma crítica às abordagens que sugerem a existência de uma dicotomia entre linguística e pragmática. Defendemos que os componentes linguísticos sejam colocados de forma sistêmica, considerando os sistemas linguísticos como essencialmente fechados, e que sejam considerados elementos que remetem a uma relação com a memória social dos aprendizes. Nesse sentido, a aproximação dos aspectos sociais com os aspectos individuais da linguagem não parece ser necessária, pois o mundo interior, implicando a consciência e os mecanismos sensório-motores, é apresentado como tendo o poder de representar os fenômenos do mundo exterior que agem sobre o corpo e a consciência. Concluímos que são, principalmente, desejos, intenções e crenças pessoais que evocam estados de consciência de base afetiva, sustentando, portanto, as motivações para o aprendizado de uma língua estrangeira. Nesse sentido, é necessário permitir que o aprendiz tenha um espaço de manobra em suas ações sustentadas por motivos voluntários, para que possa, então, aprender uma língua estrangeira.
A case of herpes encephalitis presenting unilateral facial palsy
Authors:   Korea Skull Base Society, Park Sohee , Kim Hyojung , Jun Beomcho
Published: June 2023

Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) is a rare, but lethal infectious disease characterized by inflam-mation of the brain parenchyma. The annual incidence rate is reported as one case per 250,000- 500,000 population. Patients present with various non-specific symptoms including headache, fever, decreased consciousness and many other focal neurologic deficits, which often lead to difficult and delayed diagnosis. In the absence of proper management, prognosis is very poor with a mortality rate of about 70%. Here, we discuss about a case of HSE diagnosed after brain magnetic resonance imaging scan, who initially presented with facial paralysis with hearing loss and dizziness.

Authors:   Korea Skull Base Society, Noh Hyunyoung , Kim Younghac , Kim Keon-Ha , Cho Young Sang
Published: June 2023

Pulsatile tinnitus is a rare otologic symptom that presents a diagnostic and management dilemma for experienced otolaryngologists. Treatment options range from conservative management to surgery, but patients may not be able to tolerate symptoms with the former and the latter procedure may be associated with significant morbidity We describe the case of using a stent-assisted coil approach to treating a patient with jugular bulb diverticulum (JBD) and severe pulsatile tinnitus. We describe a 41-year-old woman who presented with disabling pulsatile tinnitus due to right JBD. Both surgical or endovascular approaches were possible, but we decided to treat the diverticulum with coil emboli-zation and stenting of the jugular bulb. Following the procedure, tinnitus presence and severity were self-reported or assessed using the tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) and tinnitus magnitude index (TMI). The total score of both THI and TMI improved in 6 months after surgery, and there was no complication. Therefore, we report this experience, which was resolved through successful endovas-cular coiling and stent procedure for severe pulsatile tinnitus with no complication.

deel oor die toepassing op die Suid-Afrikaanse geval, bied ’n oorsig en besinning oor
die opkoms van die verskynsel van internasionale universiteitsranglere. In die ondersoek
het ek hierdie ranglere as bronbasis gebruik en vergelykende en internasionale
opvoedkunde as metode van dataverwerking en interpretasie aangewend. Ek verduidelik
waarom internasionale ranglere verskyn het en waarom hulle nie in die huidige tydsgewrig
deur universiteite geïgnoreer kan word nie. ’n Oorsig oor die opkoms van internasionale
universiteitsranglere en die meetinstrumente van die gesaghebbendste internasionale

Suid-Afrikaanse universiteite in die internasionale wedloop op

Hierdie artikel is die tweede van ’n tweeluik oor die opkoms en beoordeling van
die verskynsel van die internasionale wedloop op universiteitsranglere. Die eerste
artikel het ’n oorsig en besinning oor die opkoms van die verskynsel van internasionale
universiteitsranglere gebied. Die doel van hierdie tweede artikel is om die resultate
van die eerste artikel te gebruik as basis om die posisie van Suid-Afrikaanse
universiteite, tans en 10 jaar gelede, op verskeie gesaghebbende internasionale
universiteitsranglere – Academic Ranking of World Universities, Times Higher Education,
Quacquarelli Symonds en die ranglere van die Spanish National Research Council – te
beoordeel. In die ondersoek het ek hierdie ranglere as bronbasis gebruik en vergelykende
en internasionale opvoedkunde as metode van dataverwerking en interpretasie aangewend.
Die ondersoek het bevind dat, gegewe die professionele omgewing waarbinne
Suid-Afrikaanse akademici hulle bevind, openbare Suid-Afrikaanse universiteite besonder
goed op internasionale ranglere presteer. Terselfdertyd is dit kommerwekkend dat die
top- Suid-Afrikaanse universiteit die afgelope 10 jaar merkbaar teruggesak het op
hierdie ranglere. Dit is egter gebiedend noodsaaklik dat die prestasie van
Suid-Afrikaanse universiteite as kleinood bewaar word en daar selfs na verbetering
gestreef word. In hierdie verband word aanbevelings gemaak ten opsigte van elkeen van
die groepe wat ’n belang het by die wel en weë van die universiteitswese in Suid-Afrika:
die regering, die Departement van Hoër Onderwys en Opleiding, universiteitsbesture, die
studentekorps en akademiese personeel. Die resultate van hierdie ondersoek lewer ook ’n
besondere perspektief op voortgesette ongelykhede in die Suid-Afrikaanse
hoëronderwyssektor en die nimmereindigende diskoers oor die kwessie van Afrikaans as
taalmedium. Hierdie perspektiewe word kortliks aangestip. Nog ’n bevinding van dié
navorsing is dat internasionale ranglere die voortgesette ongelykheid binne die
Suid-Afrikaanse universiteitsektor onderstreep. Die argument dat Afrikaans as voertaal
aan universiteite geskrap moet word omdat dit die internasionale posisie van
universiteite sou benadeel, kan nie deur hierdie navorsing gesteun word nie.
Care management and prevention of falls in people with cancer
Authors: Silva-Sánchez Camilo Andrés
Published: June 2023

We understand nursing care management as the professional practice based on the discipline. Its objectives are to improve accessibility, coverage and timeliness through the good use of resources, clinical management and nursing care, by means of an integrated health care model. An oncology unit involves a multidisciplinary team of specialists who are responsible for the study, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of the disease. People with oncological pathologies have an undetermined time of hospitalization, which increases the risk of presenting a fall. Applying daily fall risk scales, in addition to wearing appropriate footwear, maintaining adequate physical activity, eliminating or moving any element that may alter free mobility in the room, maintaining well-lit environments and using assistive devices such as: handrails, grab bars for shower and bath, bath booster seats and resistant seats for the shower would be sufficient to prevent a fall. However, the Ministry of Health (MINSAL) suggests additional measures as a strategy to reduce the risk of falls during hospitalization in people with cancer. Despite the evidence and application of all these measures, there is no effective evidence for the prevention of falls, and the interventions to be carried out will depend on each person and the associated health risk. Therefore, the simultaneous use of all the prevention measures would help to reduce the eventuality of a fall during hospitalization
When Teachers have Autonomy to create SEL Initiatives: Conceptualizations and Iterations

Teachers may be encouraged to follow a prescribed curriculum when teaching social and emotional learning (SEL), and varied research findings attest to the efficacy of this approach in fostering students’ social and emotional competencies. An alternative approach might see teachers create SEL initiatives and infuse, embed, or integrate SEL into core teaching content. This case study explored how, when asked to foster social and emotional learning within their schools, 16 SEL teachers created learning opportunities for students to bolster their social and emotional skills. Teachers were asked to first define SEL and then to create portfolios showcasing three of their SEL lessons or initiatives. Content analysis of definitions revealed that teachers largely defined SEL as fostering students’ self-awareness and self-management. Content analysis of each of the teachers’ lessons indicated that the learning opportunities or initiatives that teachers introduced were predominantly social in nature and oftentimes focused on having students practice emotion regulation strategies. Findings inform our understanding of the perceptions and actualizations of SEL in applied contexts. Keywords: social emotional learning, elementary schools, teachers, case study, content analysis

The Leadership Conundrum and the Critical Dimension
Authors: Pathak Pramod , Pathak Namrata
Published: June 2023

The Leadership debate is perhaps one issue that still remains inconclusive even after ages of discussion. There have been diverse views  between the American and British schools of thought on the issue of leadership and management. However, the Indian text Manusmriti mentions that effective leadership is not always about winning but about rightful conduct. It is the quality of decisions rather than the outcome that makes the crucial difference in leadership. Furthermore, a true leader should becompassionate because the fact is that it works in all societies and at all times. A leader has to know his people and not get carried away by others’ opinions without careful analysis. Hence it is equally important to understand that leaders should also know when to break the rules and for whom.

The term "Consumer Empowerment" is a relatively recent marketing approach that has a major effect on customers. In recent years,consumer empowerment has attracted considerable interest from researchers. The major goal of this study is to aid researchers in developing a theoretical framework for the topic consumer empowerment, as well as to provide a summary of resources for people interested in the area by suggesting relevant articles and publications. Numerous studies have looked at how consumer empowerment affects businesses' strategies. Yet, there is a scarcity of bibliometric studies that categorize this output. So, the purpose of this research is to present a bibliometric overview of consumer empowerment studies by finding the major publications in this area. Scopus database is used for deriving the data for the study from the year 2010 to 2023. The study provides invaluable insights into the annual research publications, the most important journal, authors, affiliations, country with the most publications, trending topics and keyword analysis. These discoveries may direct prospective researchers to establish a paradigm prior to initiating research on consumer empowerment.

Developing specialized health programs for the at-risk public begins with an assessment of knowledge. There is a lack of local research regarding at-risk groups’ knowledge about venous thromboembolism. Our goal is to identify gaps in knowledge about VTE among communities at risk. Methods: Quantitative cross-sectional study design was used. A questionnaire was administered to patients who were followed up in primary health care centers under Riyadh Second Health Cluster , and who were conveniently selected. Descriptive statistics were presented by using the Package for Social Sciences version 24 for statistical analysis. Results: The results showed a total of 823 participants; 30% of them have lack of knowledge about DVT. Also, the majority of participants not aware about causes of a leg clot. More than half of the participants are not aware of PE and they did not report that chest pain, cough with blood, the heart rate becomes rapid as signs of PE. However, few of participants were worried about VTE and they agree that clots may result in death .Finally, the participants agreed that untreated blood clots in the leg cannot travel to the lungs . Conclusion: To achieve the current Saudi Health Council evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, primary health care centers need to activate the role of health care providers. Future research should include a healthy Saudi general population. Educational programs regarding VTE could also be evaluated through interventional studies. The health care providers’ perceptions of VTE and their role in raising awareness about VTE need to be assessed in practice. Key words: Venous thromboembolism, awareness, risk groups, Saudi Arabia

A Process Model for Quality guided Programming: An Approach to Making Quantitative Evaluation of Software Systems Useful for Practitioners
Authors: Biffl Stefan , Grechenig Thomas
Published: June 2023

Quantitative evaluation of software systems has not yet been accepted by practioners. Early expectations especially into code analysis have not been met so far. Among several reasons for the rare use in practice we suppose a lack of empirical data, a dominant focus in research on formal aspects, as unreasonable embedding in the development process. The following papers deals with more technical reasons: lack of flexibility and usability of code measuring tools. We outline a process model for quality assurance during the coding phase providing human reviews as well as quantitative evaluation. The model is based on the idea of permanently adapting measuring tools to the goals of a project which will result in a metric and review guided coding cycle. The system presented generates software measuring tools providing the necessary flexibility for quick adaptions at hand. The generator is a equipped with a clear separation of language and metric description making both reusable when a new tool design is being generated. Experiments with several commercial programming languages and most classical code metrics proved the claim of flexibility and usability. We postulate that quantitative evaluation can work in practice if metrics, project constraint and management goals are matched within a local process of collecting empirical data.
Rechtsgrundlagen für die Erstattung von Abmahnkosten
Authors: Oedekoven Yoweri
Published: June 2023

Who has to bear the costs of a warning letter and under which circumstances? The dissertation examines this question, which has existed since the inception of the legal institution of warning letters, on the basis of the possible legal bases that can be considered for reimbursement of costs. Previous legislative procedures have only inadequately solved this problem. Therefore, the author introduces the criterion of "providing a cause for legal action" as an approach to solving the problem, which is aligned on specific case groups. The author derives the criterion from sections 91, 93 ZPO (German Code of Civil Procedure) and section § 681 BGB (German Civil Code) in order to create an appropriate balance between the interests of senders and recipients of warning letters at the cost level.
Reading Nehamas’s Nietzsche
Authors: Čukljević Filip ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: June 2023

In this article I shall investigate Alexander Nehamas’s classic interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche in relation to the idea of self-fashioning. My aim is to dispel certain misconceptions about Nehamas’s Nietzsche and to explore what his vision of life actually involves. First, I shall expose some basic presuppositions about self-fashioning, that have to do with the nature of the self. Then I shall examine the concept of style, which is related to the concept of the self, and what it means to give style to oneself. This endeavour will further expand on the prominently literary model of life espoused by Nehamas’s Nietzsche. We will see that Nietzsche’s (in)famous idea of the eternal return plays a pivotal role within this framework. Afterwards, it will be argued that realizing the idea of self-fashioning is a pluralistic affair, unique to each person. Subsequently, the temporal structure of self-fashioning will be addressed in greater detail, by focusing on two aspects: coming to terms with the past and being open to the future. Finally, the processual nature of this project will be further revealed with the analysis of its slogan ‘become who you are.’
Rousseau: The Rejection of Happiness as the Foundation of Authenticity
Authors: Eytan Yuval ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: June 2023

The roots of the ideal of authenticity in modern Western thought are numerous and complex. In this article, I explore their development in relation to Rousseau’s paradoxical conclusion that complete satisfaction is an aspiration that not only cannot be fulfilled but whose actual realization will make a person miserable. I argue that there is an unresolved tension between the notion of humans as creatures who by nature strive to eliminate suffering to achieve static serenity and the idea that their natural goal in society is to constantly change and enrich themselves. The purpose of this article is not to construct another pessimistic interpretation according to which our most profound desire – happiness – cannot be achieved, but rather, by understanding natural inequality as a historical phenomenon, to shed light on Rousseau’s idea that happiness should be rejected because it contradicts the new foundation of morality: the realization of people’s uniqueness.
Truth about Artifacts
Authors: Sankey Howard ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: June 2023

Truth in a correspondence sense is objective in two ways. It is objective because the relation of correspondence is objective and because the facts to which truths correspond are objective. Truth about artifacts is problematic because artifacts are intentionally designed to perform certain functions, and so are not entirely mind independent. Against this, it is argued in this paper that truth about artifacts is perfectly objective despite the role played by intention and purpose in the production of artifacts.
Manufacturing Cost Estimation Using Piecewise Function Approaches
Authors: Sakinc Eren , E. Smith Alice
Published: June 2023

This paper describes two novel approaches to cost estimation of manufactured products where a data set of similar products have known manufactured costs. The methods use the notion of piecewise functions and are (1) clustering and (2) splines. Cost drivers are typically a mixture of categorical and numeric data which complicates cost estimation. Both clustering and splines approaches can accommodate this. Through four case studies, we compare our approaches with the often-used regression models. Our results show that clustering especially offers promise in improving the accuracy of cost estimation. While clustering and splines are slightly more complex to develop from both a user and a computational perspective, our approaches are packaged in an open-source software. This paper is the first known to adapt and apply these two well-known mathematical approaches to manufacturing cost estimation.
La discriminación en el ámbito educativo ecuatoriano
Authors: Vera-Ucuntal María José , Velásquez-Delgado Ana Paula , Yunga Cuntada Ariana Maela
Published: June 2023

La discriminación es un flagelo social presente en todos los ámbitos del quehacer humano que alcanza los espacios educativos. Este ensayo tiene como objetivo analizar la discriminación escolar, con énfasis en la discriminación por género, identidad cultural, condición socioeconómica y discapacidad; para lo cual se desarrolló un estudio descriptivo de corte cualitativo, fundamentado en los métodos hermenéutico, analítico-sintético e inductivo-deductivo, así como en la técnica de análisis documental. Entre los principales hallazgos se tiene que la discriminación en las instituciones educativas se manifiesta por diversas razones: género, estatus socioeconómico, discapacidades e identidad cultura, entre otras. Se concluye que a pesar de existir un marco normativo aún persisten conductas intolerantes y poco flexibles no solo de estudiantes, también de docentes ante lo “diferente”; para revertir esta realidad es preciso un cambio de mentalidad, donde el ser humano se aprecie por sus competencias y valores humanos, sin importar, estatus social o económico, origen, color de la piel o discapacidades.

Palabras clave:

Discriminación, educación, género, estatus socioeconómico, discapacidades, identidad cultural.

 

ABSTRACT

Discrimination is a social scourge present in all areas of human endeavor that reaches educational spaces. This essay aims to analyze school discrimination, with emphasis on discrimination based on gender, cultural identity, socioeconomic status and disability; for which a qualitative descriptive study was developed, based on the hermeneutic, analytical-synthetic and inductive-deductive methods, as well as the documentary analysis technique. Among the main findings is that discrimination in educational institutions is manifested for various reasons: gender, socioeconomic status, disabilities and cultural identity, among others. It is concluded that despite the existence of a regulatory framework, intolerant and inflexible behaviors still persist, not only by students, but also by teachers in the face of what is "different"; To reverse this reality, a change of mentality is necessary, where the human being appreciates himself for his skills and human values, regardless of social or economic status, origin, skin color or disabilities.

Keywords:

Discrimination, education, gender, socioeconomic status, disabilities, cultural identity.

Estimados lectores:

La complejidad epocal actual conduce a que los científicos realicen investigaciones que brinden soluciones a temas tan complejos y desafiantes como el medio ambiente, el género, la educación, la inclusión social y la gestión empresarial. El presente número le ofrece a la comunidad científica una mezcla de voces valorativas, con una mirada múltiple a las complejidades, contradicciones de la actualidad y sus posibles soluciones.

De modo, que hacemos aquí, un llamado a la comunidad educativa, académica y científica para que incorpore en su quehacer temáticas ambientales como: “La conciencia ambiental desde la educación y la gestión: fundamentos teóricos”, de igual forma le recomendamos leer “La responsabilidad social de las empresas bananeras y su impacto en el medio ambiente”.

Por consiguiente, se han seleccionado artículos representativos de investigaciones sobre el sistema empresarial desde diferentes aristas, y soluciones aportadas por especialistas de reconocido prestigio, a problemáticas como: “Procedimiento para el control estadístico de la calidad en el proceso de producción de cigarrillos”, a ello se suman los novedosos estudios referidos a “Fabricación del eje y su sistema de lubricación para las pastecas de la cuna en el Astillero Asticar”.

Desde los estudios de empoderamiento, exclusión y desigualdades sociales de las mujeres y otros sectores, se ofrece a la academia científica aportaciones como “Approach to the aligned multifactoriality of prostitution and its social regulators” y se les invita a leer el artículo “Cuban entrepreneurship with the faces of black women”, y por último un estudio muy pertinente para América Latina “La discriminación en el ámbito educativo ecuatoriano”.

Dado el carácter multidisciplinar de la revista se recomienda leer el artículo “Uso de las TIC en los Estudios Sociales. Colegio “Santísimos Corazones”, Pasaje, El Oro, Ecuador”, siendo este un tema novedoso y pertinente para la sociedad ecuatoriana.  Podríamos resumir, que dado el carácter transdisciplinar y holístico de la Revista es lo que la posesionado en el nivel alcanzado, siendo así agradecemos a autores y expertos por el trabajo realizado, por preferirnos, y por acompañarnos en el maravilloso mundo de la edición de esta publicación científica.

The Innate Immunity Defense against Gastrointestinal Nematodes: Vaccine Development

Published: June 2023

The nematode parasite infects both humans and animals, causing severe infections. Their unusual surface structures, in particular, pose significant challenges to the immune system. Vaccine-induced immunity, mediated by the innate immune system, could be crucial in the development of an adaptive effector response. The purpose of this paper was to provide an overview of recent research on the host's innate immune system, barriers, and cells that respond to parasitic nematodes. This study investigated the nematode-associated molecular patterns that may recognize by host. Given the innate defense is more than just a static barrier against pathogen infections. It can actively contribute as a director of the adaptive immune response, which is ultimately responsible for the rejection of invasions. The role of innate defense against pathogen infections is located in zone of researcher concentration. Some nematode parasites can actively move through tissues, they pose a challenge to the innate immune system. Furthermore, their cuticular surface, which varies with each molting, cannot be phagocytosed. The nematode's thin, carbohydrate-rich surface layer, as well as the chemicals produced by this layer, cause the first contact with the host's innate immune system. Notably, all components of the innate immune response can be activated and play an important role in the adaptive immune effector response.
Ambidextrous Grazing Posture in the Catalan Pyrenean Horse
Authors: Parés-Casanova Pere Miquel
Published: June 2023

Motor laterality has been often studied in non-human animals, including ungulates, and it has been noted that adult animals tend to be ambidextrous. Therefore, the current study aimed to study the laterality of grazing posture when standing in a quadrupedal position. To this end, a total of 106 horses (24 foals, 8 yearlings, 14 subadults and 60 adults 53 females and 7 males) of Pyrenean horse from 11 grazing areas farms were observed and their forelimb preference when grazing was recorded (1-3 times for each animal). The obtained results revealed that approximately half of the horses were right-handed and half left-handed, and females were equally lateralized than males. Moreover, lateralization was not affected by age. Therefore, it seems that forelimb ambidexterity in Pyrenean horses is probably due to the lack of human contact. As the presentation of unevenness may be crucial to orthopaedic health and the compensatory mechanisms used by uneven footed horses are currently unknown, data presented here have a complementary crucial interest.
