La ejecución del proyecto contribuye a la divulgación del conocimiento sobre el uso sostenible del bambú en estructuras de producción de animales de corral.
La audiodescripción antes de la norma UNE 153020: el caso de la primera entrega de la saga Torrente
Authors: López Rubio María
Published: July 2024

La audiodescripción (AD) del humor constituye un objeto de estudio poco explorado hasta la fecha, si bien es una práctica que se lleva a cabo desde que empezaron a describirse las obras audiovisuales para el público con discapacidad visual en sus diferentes géneros, incluida la comedia. Una de las sagas que más ha marcado la comedia cinematográfica española es Torrente, cuya primera entrega (Torrente, el brazo tonto de la ley, Santiago Segura, 1998) analizamos en la presente contribución debido a que la AD que se hizo para esta película se elaboró previamente a la aplicación de la norma UNE 153020 (AENOR, 2005), que tiene por objeto regular la elaboración y locución de guiones audiodescritos. Nuestro objetivo es analizar en qué medida la AD de una comedia anterior a la publicación de la normativa vigente trasgrede las recomendaciones que se deben seguir en la actualidad y reflexionar sobre cómo la AD no convencional puede influir sobre el efecto que la obra busca conseguir en la audiencia. Los resultados del presente estudio muestran que la AD de la primera entrega de Torrente trasgrede en gran medida la normativa actual y contribuye de forma intencionada al carácter humorístico del texto.
Estratégias tradutórias e plataformas Narrowcasting: legendando a linguagem tabu em seriados portugueses e brasileiros
Authors: De Rosa Gian Luigi
Published: July 2024

A linguagem tabu, como campo de pesquisa, foi por muito tempo uma área negligenciada, e foi somente a partir da década de 1960 que se observou um interesse sempre maior que se produziu em uma série de publicações. No que diz respeito à tradução audiovisual das palavras tabu, temos que ressaltar que só recentemente registramos, tanto na dublagem quanto na legendagem, estratégias tradutórias que vão além da omissão ou do emprego de eufemismos (principalmente nas plataformas de streaming) e começa a ser objeto de estudos e pesquisas científicas tendo em conta o processo tradutório e a recepção do público-alvo. A tal propósito, este artigo pretende analisar as formas de linguagem tabu registradas na fala fílmica de seriados portugueses e brasileiros e nas legendas intralinguísticas (PE e PB) e sua tradução nas legendas em italiano e inglês por meio de estratégias de tradução de adequação sociolinguística que podem oscilar entre os polos da manipulação e da manutenção.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of dietary crude protein on testicular morphometrics, haematological and serum biochemical parameters of growing male rabbits exposed to transient neonatal goitrogen. Sixty-three (63) male rabbit neonates were transiently exposed to goitrogen through suckling of their mothers’ milk. The neonates were weaned after 5 weeks and 10 rabbits were randomly assigned to each of three dietary treatments (T1-16% CP (Control); T2-14% CP (Low) and T3-18% (High) crude protein) in a Completely Randomized Design. Animals were fed with the experimental diets from the 5th to 13th weeks of age. Five animals per treatment were humanely sacrificed on the 13th week. Blood samples were collected for haematological and serum biochemical parameters. Testes were harvested for testicular morphometric evaluation (Testes weight, length, width and volume). The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance. Rabbits fed with high crude protein diets had significantly (p<0.05) higher test is weight, length and width than those fed lower dietary crude protein. The haematological and serum biochemical variables fell within the normal physiological range for male rabbits. In conclusion, 18% dietary crude protein increased testicular morphometrics in rabbits exposed to transient neonatal goitrogen without posing health risk to the animals.

Authors: Awe B.S.  , Olutomilola A.O.  , Oluwatobi O.B.
Published: July 2024

Abstract: The study assesses Carbon dioxide emissions from agricultural land use which have a great impact on food production and atmospheric weather. Emissions of CO2 from the land use surface lead to minimum production of farm products. Global warming and climate change are the cause of great concern, demanding intensive research on CO2 emissions from soil under some management options. The aim is to determine CO2 emission on agricultural land use with food security.  An experiment was conducted using sodium hydroxide as a reagent for the emission, the results obtained demonstrated that the highest CO2 emission was observed in maize farm which is 6.0 g CO2 m-2 d-1 and the least was found in yam farm and forest location which are 0.5g CO2 m-2 d-1, at a point where the soil moisture was maximum (23.5%), the soil pH was minimum (4.84), the total organic carbon (TOC) storage in the soil was maximum (1.7%), then the CO2 emission was low in a forest location because mineralization of soil bacteria’s is not active in moist soil they are very active in a soil that lacks moisture, and bacteria contribute to the emission of carbon dioxide due to their activities in the soil.

Authors: Genç Dilara , Çelik İsmail
Published: July 2024

Cancer is the leading cause of death after cardiovascular diseases. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) constitutes the majority of primary malignancies of the liver. In this study, the effects of Eremurus spectabilis lyophilize and nanoparticle plant leaves extracts (LPLE-NPLE) were carried out on cellular and enzymatic immune system of hepatocellular carcinoma experimentally induced with diethylnitrosamine (DEN) in rats. The aims of study, it is to investigate the plant leaf extracts on T lymphocyte subsets mature T lymphocyte (CD3+), helper T lymphocyte (CD4+), suppressor-cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CD8+) and the CD4+/CD8+ as cellular immune systems. Further, it is aim to determinate activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and adenosine deaminase (ADA) activities in lung and spleen tissues of rats as enzymatic immune systems too. The study was conducted on six groups in each group 6 rats as normal control (NC), cancer control (CC), cancer+50 mg LPLE/kg (CLPLE1), cancer+100 mg LPLE/kg (CLPLE2), cancer+50 mg NPLE/kg (CNPLE1) and cancer+100 mg NPLE/kg (CNPLE2). To reveal the effects of the plant extracts in rats treated with two doses on cellular and enzymatic constituents of immune systems, the blood, spleen and lung samples were taken from rats at the end experiment. CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ cells and CD4+/CD8+ ratio was analysed by flow cytometry in blood samples. Furthermore, MPO and ADA enzyme activities were analyzed in supernatants of the lung and spleen tissues. According to the obtained results; CD3+ and CD8+ T cells of CLPLE1 bases were statistically reduced compare with NC and CC groups. Again, a significant decrease was found statistically the CNPLE2 group compared to the NC and CC groups. CD4+ T cells were significantly decreased compared to NC. On the other hand, ADA enzyme, which is an enzyme of the immune system, decreased in CC compared to NC, while it increased in lung and spleen tissues in CNPLE1, CNPLE2, CLPLE1 and CLPLE2 groups. Regarding the MPO; In the groups supplemented with plant extract, MPO enzyme activity increased in both lung and spleen tissues compared to NC and CC. According to these results, the manuscript results present some new data and original theory about healing effects of E. spectabilis LPLE and NPLE on experimentally induced cancer complications as constituent of immune system with DEN. But it was concluded that more studies are needed to reveal the mechanism of action of E. spectabilis in cancer treatment and its therapeutic use.
Shaping the Future Trajectory of Dairy Processing Industries in Tanzania through Eco-Commercial Dairy Farms’ Strategy
Authors: Kanire Ezekiel , Msuya Elibariki , Alphonce Roselyne
Published: July 2024

Following the challenges faced by smallholder dairy farmers in sustaining dairy processing industries’ (DPIs) demand, this study sought to propose an operational model to meet DPIs’ demand for milk and enhance the capacity utilisation of dairy processing industries in Tanzania. The study employed a sequential explanatory mixed design, where qualitative insights drawn from 23 dairy stakeholders were supported by bibliometric data from the Scopus database. Qualitative data obtained through interviews was analysed using both content-thematic and SWOT analysis techniques. SWOT outputs were subjected to TOWS analysis, where eco-commercial dairy farms’ strategy was prioritised using the urgency-importance approach. The prioritised strategy was further subjected to a business model canvas to provide a clear blueprint for the operationalization of the eco-commercial dairy farms in Tanzania. In the same vein, the study highlights how commercial dairy farms can co-work with smallholder dairy farmers, enabling them to overcome their limitations and access high-value markets as out-growers. This study contributes to the operationalization of commercial dairy farms in terms of both knowledge and practice. Furthermore, while the existing literature on commercial dairy farms primarily focuses on animal health and milk productivity, this study addresses the linkage gap in the literature between commercial dairy farms and dairy processing industries.
Experimental study on the shear strength and failure mechanism of mountain glacier ice

Published: July 2024

Abstract. As global warming increases the frequency of ice avalanches, understanding the mechanical behavior of mountain glacier ice becomes critical. Through more than 250 field and laboratory tests, the variations of four kinds of glacier media with temperature and debris content were analyzed. The four types of glacial media are polycrystalline ice, ice-rock composite, fine debris ice, and coarse debris ice. Our comprehensive analysis reveals a positive correlation between ice density and debris content, but with a notable nonlinear decrease in porosity as debris content escalates. All types of ice have strain-softening characteristics in the shearing process. Shear strength is significantly modulated by debris content and temperature gradients. Fine debris ice exhibits the highest strength, followed by coarse debris ice, polycrystalline ice, and ice–rock composite. Polycrystalline ice displays the strength of nonlinear degradation with increasing temperature and ice– rock composite shows the strength of linear degradation with increasing temperature. Fine and coarse debris ice display the strength of the nonlinear enhancements with increasing debris content. The mechanism by which the strength of polycrystalline ice and ice-rock composites decreases with temperature increases is discussed. The strength enhancement of debris ice caused by increased debris content is expounded. It is believed that the emergence of liquid water is one of the reasons for the strength degradation. The solid particle effects (biting, friction, and crushing) are essential reasons for strength enhancement. This study addresses the research gap in mountain glacier ice mechanics driven by global warming, a previously underexplored subject. This investigation expounds on the nuanced interdependencies between temperature and debris content in determining glacier ice' shear strength, paving the way for force avalanche prediction models and disaster prevention strategies. It provides pivotal insights into mountain glacier ice behavior under different environmental conditions.
Exploring water accumulation dynamics in the Pearl River estuary from a Lagrangian perspective
Authors: Li Mingyu , Stocchino Alessandro , Cai Zhongya , Zu Tingting
Published: July 2024

Abstract. Investigating water accumulation is essential for understanding estuarine mass distribution and ecosystem management. In this study, we examined the water accumulation dynamics in the Pearl River estuary (PRE) from a Lagrangian perspective. Generally, there is a notable negative correlation between the horizontal velocity divergence (∇h⋅Vh) and the accumulation. Influenced by density fronts and velocity convergence, significant bottom-layer accumulation of particles was observed in the western part of the estuary and the Hong Kong waters during summer, whereas this accumulation moved landward in winter. Subregions with distinct accumulation patterns and interconnections were identified and combined with the trajectories. In summer, the western part of the estuary and the Macau waters exhibit significant net negative ∇h⋅Vh values, and strong density fronts are major accumulation targets, attracting particles from the entire estuary. Conversely, the eastern part of the estuary and Hong Kong waters exhibit significant westward motion, influencing the western side. In winter, particles are more likely to accumulate in their initial locations. The upper part of the estuary becomes a major accumulation area due to the obstructive density front and decreased river discharge. Tidal currents and river discharge mainly control water accumulation in the estuary by changing the mixing or current intensity. The weakening of tidal currents and river discharge induce intensified bottom intrusion and the landward movement of accumulation.

Walang sangit (Leptocorisa acuta thumb) is found in rice plants from flowering to harvest. These insects eat rice grains that are developing which have the potential to cause losses both in terms of quality and quantity. Synthetic pesticides are the main alternative for controlling walang sangit because they offer convenience and provide significant results on production per hectare. There have been many reports of the toxicity of synthetic pesticides which have negative effects including contamination of water and soil resources, loss of natural enemies of pests and insect pollinators which disrupt ecosystem functions. Utilization of plant materials with the potential for botanical pesticides is a safe control alternative for the environment and living things. The aim of the research was to determine the effectiveness of various plant materials with the potential of vegetable pesticides (extracts of maja fruit, sirsak leaves and lemon grass) against the activity of the walang sangit pest (L.acuta thumb) and to obtain plant materials with the best potential of vegetable pesticides. The study was carried out using a randomized block design consisting of 4 treatments (water, maja fruit extract, sirsak leaf extract and lemongrass extract ) with a concentration of 30% for each treatment which was repeated 3 times, so there were 12 experimental plots. Treatment P1 (maja fruit extract) was a treatment capable of suppressing the highest attacks of walang sangit with an average attack intensity of 19.44% and the lowest was treatment P0 (control) with an average attack intensity of 85.33%. The results of the 5% BNT test showed no significant difference between treatments P1, P2 and P3, but significantly different from treatment P0 in terms of controlling the locust pest (L.acuta thumb).

The Moderating Role of Profitability and Firm Size in ESG Disclosure Towards Firm Value
Authors: Rahmah Nafilah Alfa , Purwohedi Unggul , Handarini Dwi
Published: July 2024

In this article, we examine the impact of ESG disclosure on firm value, with profitability and firm size serving as moderating variables. It utilizes balanced panel data from companies consistently listed in the IDX ESG Leaders index at any point in the observation period from January 2023 to March 2024. The data is derived from ESG score announcements by the Indonesia Stock Exchange and company financial reports. Moderated regression analysis is conducted using EViews software. The study employs two proxies for the dependent variable as a robustness test. The findings demonstrate that ESG disclosure has a negative and significant effect on firm value, as measured by Tobin's Q and Price-to-Book Value (PBV). Moreover, profitability and firm size moderate this relationship by reducing its negative impact. The implications of these results show that ESG disclosure is not always received positively by the market, where this has an impact on reducing firm value. Nonetheless, this impact can be minimized by profitability and firm size, which serve as additional signals for increasing market acceptance of ESG disclosures. Further research is recommended to expand the sample and observation period, add other variables that influence firm value, analyze without data transformation, or focus research on certain sectors.

Peripartum and pregnancy are the period of transition which would nearly disturb every aspect of a woman’s life. The postoperative course of a mother having a caesarean section is different for each mother. The health promotion interventions protocol makes the mothers more competent and confident in self-care and care of neonates.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of ‘Health Promotion Interventions’ on pregnant women undergoing elective caesarean on maternal practices and outcomes during the postpartum period and on baby care practices and outcomes during the postpartum period.
Material and Method: A quasi-experimental design was used and 80 mothers with gestational age 32 weeks were selected by using purposive sampling technique. Ethical clearance was obtained and informed consent was taken from the mothers. Data was collected in the period of July-August 2019. “Health Promotion Interventions” were implemented at the time of pre-assessment and after 3 days, in interventions, the mothers were educated regarding self- care, newborn care and about contraception by using the scrapbook, a booklet was prepared for this package and with the help of demonstration by using a baby dummy. Follow up was done till discharge, telephonically at 12th and 21st day and at 6th weeks of postpartum. The control group was asked to follow routine care including advices and instructions by health care workers
Results: In both groups placenta previa was the main indications for elective caesarean section. The results revealed that in experimental group majority of the mothers were initiated early breastfeeding (85%), passed first flatus within 24 hours after caesarean section (82.5%), performing postnatal exercises (55%), continued exclusive breastfeeding (100%), having normal bowel pattern (100%) lesser number of mothers were having breast engorgement (22.5%) as compared to control group (p<0.05).
In terms of neonatal outcome, 97.5% of newborns were gaining normal weight at 6th weeks and 100 % of the newborn was having normal bowel and bladder pattern and there was no incidence of re-hospitalization of mother and baby in the experimental group. The difference between both the groups were found statistically significant (p<0.001). The findings also revealed a significant difference between control and experimental group in relation with selected outcomes.
Conclusion: Hence, it has been concluded ‘Health Promotion Interventions’ improved knowledge and practices of mothers regarding, postnatal self-care, newborn care and care of the baby upto 6 weeks of the postpartum period. Findings also revealed that ‘Health Promotion Interventions’ was effective in improving the perinatal outcomes after elective caesarean and reducing the occurrence of postpartum complications.

Assessment of Bladder Capacity and Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength in Children with Primary Nocturnal Enuresis
Authors: Shah Vidhi , J. Palekar Tushar
Published: July 2024

Background: Enuresis is a health issue suffered in childhood. This problem is common and difficult to cure for 10-15% of the 5 years old children in their growing stage. Primary Nocturnal Enuresis (PNE) is commonest type of all other types of enuresis. The parents and family of children with enuresis suffers emotional trauma and anxiety as a part of adverse effect of the condition. Genetic, Obstructive sleep Apnea and detrusor muscle inactivity are the common associated factors of PNE. Urodynamic studies are the most evaluative method to check bladder functions for child enuresis or incontinence. There is a lack in uroflowmetry and surface electromyography values for effective diagnosis of PNE.
Objectives: The present study focuses on to find out the score of uroflowmetry and surface electromyography in Paediatric Primary Nocturnal Enuresis.
Methods: A cross-sectional Design was done on 21 Participants from the children of 5-15 years, of both genders and educational levels. The uroflowmetry and Surface Electromyography was performed to subjects who diagnosed as children with PNE by Paediatrician and who want to participate in the study.
Results: The uroflowmetry records of 21 Enuretic children shows that the mean value of voiding volume is 158.28± 53.41ml/sec and mean of Average flowrate is 10.36± 2.62ml/sec. The surface electromyography shows that the highest maximum voluntary activity (MVA) of perianal muscle is 513µv and the lowest value is 111µv.
Conclusion: This small cross-sectional study, which expands the scant existing literature on uroflow parameters and Surface electromyography (sEMG) in Enuretic children, will hopefully promote wider application of uroflowmetry testing and surface EMG of pelvic muscles in the paediatric population having PNE.

Effectiveness of Movement Control Exercise and Core Stability Exercise on Reducing Pain, Improving Range of Motion and Functional Activities in Patients with Mechanical Low Back Pain
Authors: Naveen G. , Ashraf Y. , Mahesh R.
Published: July 2024

Study Design: Experimental study pretest-posttest design with comparative treatment.
Summary of background: Low back pain is a common condition that affects the Most people at some point of their lives with up to an 84%lifetime prevalence. Mechanical low back pain may be due to faulty posture sedentary lifestyle and improper ergonomics. Core muscles maintain the stability of the lumbar spine. Due to improper mechanics of the spine, there leads muscle imbalance in the lumbar spine. Thus, the rehabilitation of the core muscle results in improving the muscular control around the lumbar spine to maintain functional stability of the spine during activities. Movement control exercises are aimed to identify the Kinesio pathological models of movement dysfunction of the spine. Based on the principle, the treatment aimed to correct and restore the movement pattern and avoiding the posture which provokes them.
Objective: This study is to investigate the effectiveness of movement control exercise and core stability exercise on reducing pain, improving range of motion and functional activities in patients with mechanical low back pain. The primary outcomes include pain intensity and
Functional disability. The secondary outcome includes lumbar range of motion.
Study Setting: Department of Orthopedics, Neurology and Physical Medicine &
Rehabilitation PSG hospitals, Coimbatore.
Participants: A total of 32 individuals with mechanical LBP participated in the study.
Intervention: Included individuals were randomly assigned to receive 2 weeks treatment
Program on movement control exercise and core stability exercise.
Measurements: Pain intensity measured by NPRS, functional disability by Modified ODI
And lumbar ROM by MMST.
Results: Subjects receiving movement control exercise showed greater change on pain Intensity, functional disability, and lumbar ROM at p value <0.05 after 2 weeks of intervention than comparing with core stability exercise.
Conclusion: So, we conclude that the movement control exercise is effective on reducing pain, improving range of motion and functional activities in patients with mechanical low back pain compared to core stability exercise.

Correlation Between Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (P.E.F.R.) And Abdominal Muscles Strength Among Voice Over and Dubbing Artists: A Correlational Study
Authors: Hardikar Siddhima , Deshpande Manali
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Voice over &dubbing artists are professionals who uses their voice to portray characters or provide information to an audience to entertain them. These artists use abdominal breathing rather than thoracic breathing. Respiratory function has correlation with voice production and quality. Pulmonary function tests can be used to assess the voice of a person. There is less literature support for nature of abdominal muscle activation among professional voice users. In this study the correlation between Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (P.E.F.R.) and abdominal muscle strength will be assessed
Method: 50 Voice over and dubbing artist with experience of at least 6 months in voice industry among which 17 were females and 33 were male artists within age group of 18-25 years were approached and consented for the assessment. Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (P.E.F.R.) were assessed using Peak Flow Meter and strength of abdominal muscles were assessed using pressure biofeedback unit. The statistical data was then analyzed for the result.
Results: Linear regression test was performed to find the correlation between the Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (P.E.F.R.) and abdominal muscles. The statistical analysis of P.E.F.R. and abdominal muscles strength was calculated to be significant. The test showed significant results with p value <0.0001. Correlation coefficient (r) is 0.1959.
Conclusion: it was concluded that there is correlation between Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (P.E.F.R.) and Abdominal Muscles Strength among voice over and dubbing artists.
