Authors: Doğan Ertan
Published: March 2021

In this study, the curative efficacy of gasoline as a petroleum product in skin papillomatosis of cattle has been investigated. A total of 20 cattle with papillomatosis were divided into two groups (control and experimental). The gasoline was sprayed on the animals in the experimental group twice a day for 15 days. During the application period, some parameters of the animals in the control and experimental groups were measured at intervals of three days. In addition, after the application, the lesions were monitored at 7-days intervals during 50 days. Fifty days later, the animals in the control group did not recover while the animals in the experimental group recovered at the rate of 90%. As a result of the research, it has been concluded that gasoline is effective on skin papillomatosis in cattle
Diagnosis of Subclinical Aflatoxicosis by Biochemical Changes in Dairy Cows under Field Conditions
Authors: Valdivia E Hernandez
Published: March 2021

Aflatoxins (AF) are potent mycotoxins with carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic potential. There is no agreement on the safe AF maximum residue levels established in different countries (5.0 to >20.0 μg/kg) to avoid feed toxicity in dairy cows and to protect the food chain. The objective was to establish a diagnosis of subclinical aflatoxicosis via changes in biochemical values during long-term exposure of AF low concentrations under field conditions. A cohort of 90 Holstein heifers were selected (395±10 kg/BW; 14-15 months) in a large dairy farm in the central Mexico highlands. Monthly samples of blood serum, feedstuffs, total mixed ration, and raw milk were obtained (26 months) and analyzed via spectrophotometric and HPLC methods. Dairy diets were naturally contaminated with AF (8.1±5.2 µg/kg). No cow showed clinical disease, but significant changes in biochemistry values were associated to AF intake at levels >5.0 µg/kg, especially a serum concentrations decrease in albumin, total protein and reduced glutathione; furthermore, an increase in prothrombin time, and in specific activity of AF metabolizing enzymes (glutathione S-transferase, γ-glutamyl transferase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase). Raw milk samples were naturally contaminated with AF in milk (AFM1; 43.1±24.0 ng/kg). A linear dose-response relationship between AF in feed and AFM1 concentrations was observed (AFM1=19.2+2.70(AF); P<0.01; R2 :62.1%). Moreover, reproductive failure and inter-pregnancy interval rates of cows exposed to higher AF concentrations (>10.0 µg/kg) were increased. These results suggested that in the long term, low amounts of AF exposure may lead to significant adverse effects consistent with subclinical aflatoxicosis.

Authors: Sayyar Hafiza Tuseef
Published: March 2021

The current study is designed to investigate the phytochemical screening and to examine the potential antimicrobial, antioxidant activities of ethanol extract of Cucumis flexouses and Cucumis reticulatus. The ethanol extract of C. flexouses and C. reticulatus seeds were subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening for the confirmation of various phytochemicals and their total phenolic and flavonoid content is verified by the colorimetric method. Subsequently, antimicrobial activity of both extracts at the concentration of (25, 50, 100 mg/ml) against various microbial organisms was evaluated via the disc diffusion method by measuring zone of inhibition and estimating minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The antioxidant activity was assessed by ferric thiocyanate (FTC) and DPPH free radical scavenging method. The ethanol extract of Cucumis flexouses showed maximum antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus (29.0±0.05mm), Bacillus subtilis (17.0±0.02 mm) followed by gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (22.0±0.05 mm) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (15.04±0.34mm) respectively at 100mg/ ml concentration as compared to standard drug. Moreover, both the extracts showed no activity against fungal species Candida albicans. Similarly, significant antioxidant effects at 100mg/ml concentration (1.17±0.025) were also observed by FTC and (1.09±0.017) by DPPH method. The result of the current study depicts that ethanol extract of C. flexouses seeds possess significant in-vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant effects as compared to C. reticulatus seed extract and could be a good substitute for many infectious diseases

Authors: Tesi M
Published: March 2021

An 8-years-old, domestic short-haired cat was presented for constipation and symptoms referable to the lower urinary tract. A solid mass located in the caudal area of the abdomen was palpated. Abdominal ultrasonography, positive-contrast retrograde urethrocystography and total body computed tomography showed the presence of a prostatic neoformation occupying almost completely the pelvic cavity. The neoformation displaced dorsolaterally the descending colon and completely englobed the prostatic urethra, without apparent involvement of the urethral lumen. Histopathologic examination revealed a prostatic carcinoma. Neoplastic cells showed a moderate to intense cytoplasmatic expression of AE1/AE3, while no expression of cytokeratin 7 and Uroplakin III was observed. Topographical, histological and immunohistochemical findings were consistent with a diagnosis of primary adenocarcinoma of the prostate body

Published: March 2021

In this project an air conditioner was fabricated using R-410a as refrigerant and its COP is calculated. CFCs have been phased out, except for essential users, and HCFCs are to be eliminated by 2020, because of their ozone depletion potential.This generates a need for the investigation of zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) refrigerants or refrigerant blends.R410A is among newer brand of refrigerant blend, with zero ODP. The biggest difference to R22 is the pressure levels generated which are more than50% higher. The refrigerant R410A operates at higher pressure at the same saturated temperatures than R22, therefore system should be re designed. The overall COP of the system is 5 to 6% more than the R22. We also calculated the relative humidity of room air after it gets cooled, heat removed from the air by considering the input data from weather online which provides us the day to day climatic conditions. Present work provides us regarding performance of an self fabricated zeotropic air conditioner.
The analysis of environmental factor for improving of navy resources performance
Authors: I Made Jiwa Astika  , Okol Sri Suharyo
Published: March 2021

There are things that must be owned for every soldier to improve optimal performance, namely the development of competence. This scientific work is motivated by the importance of the role of management of Navy Resources which is closely related to performance, in this case, the Navy soldiers. Based on the results of the study, a person who has adequate experience and technical qualifications do not necessarily have a good performance, if the person concerned is not able to show behavior that supports the implementation of the task. For this reason, the need for technical competencies can be developed through education and training aimed at improving knowledge and skills. For behavioral competencies alone can be done through various training programs and individual development aimed at changing behavior. Whereas organizational values ​​that form institutional competencies can be instilled through indoctrination. Management of competency-based warrior performance is a current method in the field of behavioral science, which can be used to improve the quality of Navy capital in order to support the realization of a minimum essential force. Considering that as part of the government's bureaucratic reform program, the Indonesian Ministry of Defense has adopted a competency-based personnel management system, so the Navy Institution must inevitably integrate it into the Navy personnel development system.
“I’M NOT AFRAID OF BEING CALLED A LOSER”: THE ISSUE OF AGENCY IN FINN’S IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION IN THE TELEVISION SERIES GLEE
Authors: Da Silva Leonardo
Published: March 2021

This article analyzes the television series Glee and discusses the ways in which Finn’s identity construction — and his irresolution — can be read counter-hegemonically as fostering political agency. In order to do so, I discuss the concepts of identity and agency and notions such as social location and identification while conducting a textual analysis of specific scenes that pertain to the first season of the series. The analysis highlights that the character’s experience with the Glee club seems to be important for the constant re-construction of his identity. Such reconstruction is always part of a double movement: Finn, as a postmodern subject, is overtly contradictory. While his identity construction can be considered transgressive, at times his actions are in fact very conservative. Finn’s identity construction seems to demonstrate the ways in which Glee can be considered an example of postmodern contingency while being inserted simultaneously within restraining hegemonic discourse.
O CORPO-PROSTITUTO NOS CONTOS DE GASPARINO DAMATA
Authors: Dos Santos Nascimento Dorinaldo
Published: March 2021

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar em um conjunto de seis contos presente na obra Os solteirões (1975), de Gasparino Damata, as representações do conceito corpo-prostituto. Proposto por Nascimento (2019a), este conceito operacional, desenvolvido para análises literárias, dialoga com estudos e etnografias (antropologia, sociologia e psicologia social), sobretudo, com as pesquisas de Perlongher (1987), Souza Neto (2009) Santos (2016), Barreto (2017). Desse modo, propomos uma interlocução com eixos de discussão produzidos por diferentes áreas das Ciências Sociais, os quais são relevantes e orientadores para a compreensão do fenômeno da prostituição masculina do ponto de vista sociocultural. As análises evidenciaram que o corpo-prostituto representado nos contos envolve múltiplas práticas de monetização do corpo jovem masculino envolvido em relações de poder (FOUCAULT, 2017) e trocas com personagens homossexuais mais velhos, tais como: casos eventuis rentáveis; a prática do gigolonato; e a prostituição institucionalizada no mercado do sexo. Em todas essas práticas há entre os sujeitos envolvidos cruzamentos e tensões relacionados a questões de gênero (a centralidade da masculinidade hegemônica) e às disparidades de idade e de nível socioeconômico.

El termino cáncer comprende un grupo de enfermedades que comparten la característica de crecimiento no controlado de células anormales en un órgano o tejido determinado, que lleva a invasión de los tejidos adyacentes o diseminación a distancia a otros órganos o tejidos. Es la segunda causa de muerte a nivel mundial, con un estimado de 9,6 millones en el año 2018 (1). Según datos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), en el año 2018, el cáncer de pulmón representó el 11,6% de la totalidad de la enfermedad por cáncer en el mundo, con una mortalidad del 18,4%. En Suramérica se reportaron 68 504 casos, de los cuales, 29 249 correspondían a nuevos casos; la mortalidad reportada fue de 62 922 casos (2). Esto nos lleva a plantearnos la necesidad de realizar un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno del cáncer pulmonar. En diciembre de 2019 se describieron los primeros casos de neumonía generada por un nuevo coronavirus de origen animal: el coronavirus 2 del síndrome respiratorio agudo severo (SARS-CoV-2), que genera la enfermedad denominada COVID-19 (3). La OMS catalogó a la enfermedad por COVID-19 como una emergencia de salud pública de importancia internacional. En Colombia se confirmó el primer caso el 6 de marzo de 2020. Es una prioridad comunicarse con los pacientes, explicarles la situación actual a nivel mundial y local, y dar el soporte requerido para mantener un buen estado físico, mental y emocional durante la crisis, en busca del mejor plan terapéutico para cada caso (4).

La enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) es el nombre dado a la patología causada por la infección por el coronavirus del síndrome respiratorio agudo severo 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (1, 2). Teniendo en cuenta la actual fase de mitigación, la alta tasa de contagio, así como la exposición a la que se ve expuesto el broncoscopista y demás personal en un procedimiento altamente productor de aerosoles, se hace necesaria la actualización de guías sobre recomendaciones en broncoscopia previamente publicadas, dada la necesidad de reapertura de los servicios ambulatorios y la atención de pacientes hospitalizados por otras patologías. Con alto nivel de contagio conocido, y el riesgo para el personal de salud, este se considera como un procedimiento contraindicado como método diagnóstico en COVID-19, excepto en condiciones que amenacen la vida y cuyo resultado cambie el manejo médico del paciente (3-7). La actual guía es un consenso de expertos, miembros del Comité de Broncoscopia de la Asociación Colombiana de Neumología y Cirugía de Tórax. Al momento, la evidencia se encuentra en construcción, a medida que aumentan los casos en el mundo. Se estarán haciendo actualizaciones de esta guía, según se tenga nueva información.

Este es un problema de salud pública (1). Hasta el momento se acepta que la transmisión es de persona a persona, por medio de gotitas producidas cuando hablamos o tosemos, o en contacto directo con las mucosas, como los ojos y la nariz, al llevarnos las manos contaminadas a dichos sitios (2). Se estima que la infección tiene un período de incubación promedio de 6,4 días, y un número de reproducción básico va desde 2,24 a 3,58 (3). Se han reportado 395 744 casos en el mundo, con mortalidad de 17 234 casos y 103 736 pacientes que se han recuperado (4). En Colombia, para el 24 de marzo, en total son 306 casos confirmados en el país según el último reporte, con 3 muertos para la fecha (5). Este artículo se diseñó para ofrecer recomendaciones a las unidades de sueño y laboratorios de función pulmonar en cuanto a la pandemia por coronavirus, con base en la evidencia que se ha publicado en los 3 últimos meses y en la opinión de expertos. Esto puede cambiar una vez se conozca más sobre la infección.
Primärerfahrungen, Ursprung und Nachträglichkeit
Authors: Kühn Rolf
Published: March 2021

Psychoanalytische Ansätze wie die von Melanie Klein, Jacques Lacan oder Jean Laplanche halten die Frage des rein immanenten Ursprungs in seiner Unabdingbarkeit im öffentlichen Diskurs präsent. Die Psychoanalyse verwendet Ursprungsmythen wie Vatermord oder Geburtstrauma, um die primäre Verschränkung von subjektiv Erlebtem und Verdrängung zu erklären. In der philosophischen Tradition fungiert der unzeitliche Ursprung als Realgrund alles Seienden. Eine analytisch-therapeutische und deskriptiv-zeitliche Genese berühren sich daher im Verhältnis des Seins zum Werden beziehungsweise des Egos zur Geschichte, wobei ein immanentes Leben vorausgesetzt ist.

Rolf Kühn ergründet in analytisch-phänomenologischen Grenzgängen, ob eine Unmittelbarkeit lebendigen Ursprungs selbstaffektiv erprobt werden kann oder ob nur ein nachträgliches Bewusstwerden als Trauma unzugänglicher Verschränkung von Mythos und Erleben möglich ist.

The study investigates the predictive role of boredom proneness and self-efficacy on perceived stress among civil servants working from home during COVID-19 lockdown in Ibadan metropolis. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey using an anonymous online questionnaire to collect data from respondents. A snowball sampling technique was employed to recruit 206 participants (136 males and 70 females) with a mean age of 42.11 (SD of 4.12) recruited from Ibadan metropolis. Data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression analysis and t-test for independent sample. Result showed that boredom proneness and self-efficacy jointly predicted perceived stress (R2=0.21, F(2, 203) = 30.54, p < .01).Finally, there was no gender difference in perceived stress among civil servants [t(204) = -1.37, p>.05]. Based on these findings, the study concluded that boredom proneness and self-efficacy are determinants of perceived stress among civil servants during COVID-19 lockdown. We therefore recommended that behavioural scientists should design intervention programme tailored toward reducing boredom proneness and boosting self-efficacy of all civil servants such that it will help reduce stress during and after COVID-19 lockdown.
Notes on a common beat
Authors: Capurso Alessandro
Published: March 2021

The following essay would like to elaborate on a possible “philosophy of efficiency” connected to the contribution “Implementation model of a universe based on information” (a technical paper from the same author proposing a framework for Quantum Gravity, available at doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/9a26r). The insights derived from the interpretation of spacetime considered focus on causality, free will and efficiency, promoting collaboration, empathy and trust. Even if some of the concepts presented are common to several cultures at different levels of abstraction, this paper does not pretend to have scientific value nor suppose any reference to religion. The scope is just to draft a high level parallel between the description of the Universe proposed in the scientific contribution and a more philosophical interpretation of life, inspired by efficiency and based on the memory of a common beat.
Impact of Vertical Integration
Authors: Luke Erin H.
Published: March 2021

Vertical integration is a powerful, and complex business strategy that when used under the rightconditions can positively impact an organization. A company’s strategists need to understand whatdimensions of integration to use, and the best time to use it. De Beers is a company with a controversialhistory of being an anti-competitive monopoly. By strategizing into a vertical integrated company Debeers has added value to its company by not only targeting the retail, and industrial market, but also theI.T. industry. Forward and backward integration has helped organizations like De Beers maintain controlover its inputs and outputs. Rather than just buying all diamond mines, and stock piling the material inorder to control the prices, De Beers has embraced change by focusing on new emerging industries.Through vertical strategy and new ownership De Beers is turning its company around in a verycompetitive luxury industry. Organizations should be aware of the costs of vertical integration whenexploring its potential. Bureaucratic costs, and companies becoming too large and inflexible under certainenvironments can become a problem. Vertical integration is a powerful strategy, but it must always beunder scrutiny, and redesigned when the external and internal environment deems change necessary.
Multiscale Sensor Fusion for Display-Centered Head Tracking
Authors: Wu Tianyu , Watson Benjamin
Published: March 2021

Emerging display usage scenarios require head tracking both at short (<1m) and modest (<3m) ranges. Yet it is difficult to find low-cost, unobtrusive tracking solutions that remain accurate across this range. By combining multiple head tracking solutions, we can mitigate the weaknesses of one solution with the strengths of another and improve head tracking overall. We built such a combination of two widely available and low-cost trackers, a Tobii Eye Tracker and a Kinect. The resulting system is more effective than Kinect at short range, and than the Tobii at a more distant range. In this paper, we discuss how we accomplish this sensor fusion and compare our combined system to an existing mechanical tracker to evaluate its accuracy across its combined range.
On the Hurst exponents, Markov processes, and fractional Brownian motion
Authors: Millán Ginno
Published: March 2021

There is much confusion in the literature over Hurst exponent (H). The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the difference between fractional Brownian motion (fBm) on the one hand and Gaussian Markov processes where H is different to 1/2 on the other. The difference lies in the increments, which are stationary and correlated in one case and nonstationary and uncorrelated in the other. The two- and one-point densities of fBm are constructed explicitly. The two-point density does not scale. The one-point density for a semi-infinite time interval is identical to that for a scaling Gaussian Markov process with H different to 1/2 over a finite time interval. We conclude that both Hurst exponents and one-point densities are inadequate for deducing the underlying dynamics from empirical data. We apply these conclusions in the end to make a focused statement about nonlinear diffusion.
Autonomic, endocrine, and psychological stress responses to different forms of blood draw: Results from a preregistered study
Authors: Lorenz Tierney
Published: March 2021

Objective: To compare physical and psychological stress responses to fingerstick vs. venipuncture (blood draw using a needle in the arm) within the same person.Methods: We assessed changes in cortisol (a stress hormone), heart rate variability (a marker of autonomic stress), and psychological stress in 40 healthy women who completed both venipuncture and fingerstick.Results: Contrary to our predictions, there was a significant decline in cortisol across conditions, with greater decline from pre- to post-draw in response to venipuncture than fingerstick. There were similar patterns of rise and fall in heart rate variability in both types of blood draw, suggestive of mild vasovagal responses. Psychological measures of stress (such as negative emotion and perceived stress) were generally stronger predictors of participant’s reported pain and blood draw preferences than physical stress measures.Conclusions: These findings challenge the characterization of fingerstick as necessarily “less invasive” than venipuncture, as participant’s stress responses to fingerstick were equivalent to (and for some measures greater than) their response to venipuncture. Heart rate variability response to fingerstick significantly predicted that individual’s vasovagal-like responses to venipuncture, suggesting that measuring heart rate variability during pre-donation hemoglobin testing may identify donors at risk for adverse events during venipuncture.
Investigating Omani College Teachers’ Perspective on Critical Media Literacy
Authors: Aufi Asma Al
Published: March 2021

Despite the numerous benefits presented within Critical Media Literacy (CML) in understanding societies, cultures, and even our values globally, the lack of teacher preparation, including English language teachers, in teaching (CML) skills remains noteworthy. Such education could arm teachers with sufficient media literacy competence to pass on to students’ capabilities in democratic self-expression and social progress. The research gap that exists, therefore, leads to this qualitative research study where the aim is to explore how a group of five College EFL teachers in a Middle Eastern institution in Oman relate to critical media awareness. This is by deconstructing a US film entitled ‘Freedom Writers’ (2007) to discuss issues related to social injustice, prejudice, and violence in society. The method used to collect data was semi-structured interviews. The interview questions, guided by a semiotic Inquiry Graphics (IG) approach, aimed to capture those EFL teachers’ interpretations, values, and beliefs relevant to CML and their subsequent intentions to teach CML in their future English classrooms. The findings suggest that although the teachers demonstrated positive attitudes and increased awareness of CML, they lacked confidence in applying it and needed to expand their perceptions of CML further. Generally, they viewed CML as being helpful for students in its ability to develop their criticality and citizenship. However, the teachers stressed the harsh realities of a packed curriculum and restrictive program requirements that may obstruct any comprehensive implementation of CML education at a university level, an issue that merits further consideration.

Due to the world pandemic, COVID-19, higher education institutions (HEIs) have found themselves in an unprecedented situation. Like no other time before, this pandemic has posed a serious test of resilience of HEIs – hence, the current study sets off to seize this opportunity to study the resilience of Omani HEIs. HEIs in Oman have devised contingency plans in light of the directives and declarations received from the government Supreme Committee responsible for handling the impact of COVID-19. The study aimed at examining the directives received by Omani HEIs against the framework of the securitization theory in order to identify the substances of the basis on which HEIs built their teaching and learning plans. The study was also planned to closely investigate the individual experiences of various stakeholders directly involved in the implementation of the contingency of the teaching and learning plans. Data were collected using document analysis and analysis of reflective texts. Discourse content analysis was applied in order to understand the lived experiences of stakeholders and to identify what shaped their experiences. The discourse of the collected data was analysed using the approach of thematic analysis which helped to identify recurrent patterns concerning the teaching and learning plans of some Omani HEIs during COVID-19. A number of challenges along with the challenges of other HEIs worldwide were identified, such as uncertainty and lack of resources and experience in online teaching and learning. The discussion of the findings in this study revealed dichotomies, as well as agreement, in the way stakeholders perceive aspects of the contingency plans of teaching, learning and assessment. On the basis of this finding, the study calls for a more nuanced approach to strengthen the resilience of higher education. Particularly, the study recommends incorporating processes of normalization of teaching and learning as well as of assessment in HEIs delivery modes as a way to consolidate HEIs’ resilience.
