Lipids (fats and oils) are a concentrated source of energy in poultry diets that improves palatability, feed consistency, provides essential fatty acids and increases the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Fresh oil is an expensive energy source and its exposure to air, heat, metallic catalyst during storage and processing may lead to its oxidative deterioration. This review highlights the response of modern poultry to dietary oxidized oil on growth performance, nutrients digestibility, gut health, carcass characteristics, meat quality, blood chemistry and tissue oxidative status. Literature shows that in moderately (peroxide value (PV): 20 to 50 meq kg−1) and highly (PV: 50 to 100 meq kg−1 or above) oxidized oils, lipid peroxidation causes rancid odours and flavours that negatively affect feed palatability, reduces intestinal villus height that decreases the surface area available for nutrients absorption. The oxidation products also damage fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) in blood resulting in an oxidative stress. The use of oxidized oil in poultry diets has no significant effect on dressing percentage, pH and meat colour, whereas carcass weight decreases and drip loss of meat increases. Overall, there is a contradictory data regarding the influence of oxidized oil in poultry feed depending on the PV and inclusion levels. The reviewed literature shows that the use of mildly oxidized (PV < 20 meq kg−1) oil in poultry feed with 4 to 5% inclusion level decreases the feed cost and ultimately cost of poultry production without compromising their growth performance. It can, therefore, partially replace fresh oil as an efficient, cost effective and sustainable energy source in poultry diets.

Authors: Orczewska-Dudek Sylwia , Pietras Mariusz , Puchała Michał , Nowak Joanna
Published: June 2020

The present study aimed to determine the effect of the use of Camelina sativa oil as a dietary ingredient for laying hens on their growth performance, fatty acid profile of yolk lipids, and egg quality parameters. In the experiment, 72 Hy-Line laying hens aged 26 weeks were randomly assigned to three groups with four treatments. Control group (I) was fed the diet containing 4% rapeseed oil (RO group). Experimental groups were fed diets containing 4% camelina oil (CSO group) and 10% camelina cake (group CSC). Feed consumption was measured for each group. The number of laid eggs and their weight were recorded every day. Eggs for the assessment of quality parameters were collected in the last 3 days of the experiment. Egg quality, chemical composition of yolk, and fatty acid profile were determined. Organoleptic evaluation was performed on boiled eggs. The inclusion of C. sativa oil or camelina cake in the laying hen diet did not affect egg weight, albumen quality, or taste and flavor. The experimental groups also showed a tendency toward an increase in the proportion of yolk in the egg (%). Addition of 4% camelina oil or 10% camelina cake to the diet of laying hens reduced monounsaturated fatty acid level in yolk lipids and significantly increased n-3 PUFA content, in particular ALA, EPA, and DHA, compared to the control group.

For several years in Europe, there has been a growing interest in the use of native sources of protein (e.g. lupin seeds) in poultry nutrition. The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a microbial phytase in broiler diets with the addition of different levels of white lupin seeds. A total of 480 one-day-old male broiler chickens (Ross 308) were randomly divided into six dietary treatments (10 replications/8 birds per group). The basal diet contained SBM as the main protein source and experimental treatments were prepared with white lupin meal (WLM) at 3 levels (0, 10, and 20%) and with or without phytase inclusion. The experiment was divided into two feeding periods: from 1 to 14 days (starter) and from 15 to 35 days (grower). Diets with phytase addition were deficient in Ca and non-phytate P. All diets were fed in mash form and offered ad libitum. On day 35 excreta were collected and on day 36, ten chickens from each group were euthanized and blood, tibia, and digesta samples were collected for further analysis. The 20% addition of WLM negatively increased the content of phytic-P. The results showed that feed conversion ratio (FCR) and body weight gain (BWG) were not affected by phytase inclusion but by the WLM level alone. In addition, birds fed the diet with 20% WLM were characterized by having the lowest BWG and the highest FCR of all groups. There were no significant differences in feed intake (FI) among chickens fed control and experimental treatments. Regardless of the white lupin level addition, phytase addition improved (P<0.001) nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolizable energy (AMEN). In conclusion, the addition of phytase positively influenced the performance and availability of minerals (Ca and P) regardless of the level of WLM used. However, with regard to the use of WLM in poultry nutrition, it can be assumed that 10% addition is safe and does not affect performance.

Published: June 2020

The article presents the results of the integrity parameter of the GLONASS satellite positioning system in civil aviation. As a source material for the research the authors used observation and navigation data of the GLONASS system from the onboard GNSS receiver mounted on the Cessna 172. In the research, the authors used a model to determine the aircraft position based on the single-frequency SPP code method for GLONASS L1-C/A observations. The numerical calculations were conducted in the RTKLIB software, in the RTKPOST library. The obtained results are interesting from the point of using an application of the GLONASS system in aviation and the possible implementation of the single-frequency GLONASS code observations in the SPP model in order to determine the aircraft position. On the basis of the obtained results it was found that the GLONASS integrity performance data can be used in a procedure of non-precision approach to landing NPA GNSS.
An Efficient Algorithm for 2-Dimensional Pattern Matching Problem
Authors: Dimri Sushil Chandra , Tiwari Umesh Kumar , Ram Mangey
Published: June 2020

Pattern matching is the area of computer science which deals with security and analysis of data. This work proposes two 2D pattern matching algorithms based on two different input domains. The first algorithm is for the case when the given pattern contains only two symbols, that is, binary symbols 0 and 1. The second algorithm is in the case when the given pattern contains decimal numbers, that is, the collection of symbols between 0 and 9. The algorithms proposed in this manuscript convert the given pattern into an equivalent binary or decimal number, correspondingly find the cofactors of the same dimension and convert these cofactors into numbers if a particular cofactor number matches indicate the matching of the pattern. Furthermore, the algorithm is enhanced for decimal numbers. In the case of decimal numbers, each row of the pattern is changed to its decimal equivalent, and then, modulo with a suitable prime number changes the decimal equivalent into a number less than the prime number. If the number mismatched pattern does not exist, the complexity of the proposed algorithm is very low as compared to other traditional algorithms.

Introduction. Due to their dynamic character, allergic conditions pose challenges for modern medicine and constitute a public health problem. Nearly 40% of the general Polish population is estimated to suffer from an allergy. We would like to emphasize that allergies are not some extraordinary ailments; instead, they commonly coincide with or are complications of other systemic conditions. Hence, national health policies should prioritize the development and implementation of ready-to-use protocols that focus mainly on prevention rather than treatment.

Conclusions. In an outpatient setting the care for individuals who suffer from allergies is facilitated by therapeutic teams. Allergy nurses play a special role in this framework, with the scope of their professional duties including diagnostic procedures, treatment, being a mediator for patient education initiated by the therapeutic team. This article focuses on three important types of allergy nurses‘ responsibilities: diagnostic procedures (e.g. skin prick tests), therapeutic procedures (allergen-specific immunotherapy), and selected aspects of medical record-keeping.

Published: June 2020

Introduction. The intensive development of modern methods of treatment in neonatology has significantly reduced the survival threshold of prematurely born children. Early interruption of the maturation process of all systems in utero is associated with the risk of irregularities in the functional development of premature babies. Prematurely born children are exposed in the following years of life to many problems related to motor, cognitive, social and communication development, which is why there is a growing demand for more accurate tracking and research into their development. The impact of screen devices on the development of infants and young children is a growing social problem. Currently, thanks to the development of new digital technologies, small children and even infants are growing up in a screen environment.

Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the functional development of a 28 months old child born in 29 weeks of gestation, taking into consideration the multifaceted involvement and effort of parents.

Published: June 2020

Introduction: One of the most important types of microorganisms in the oral cavity in both healthy and non-healthy individuals is Fusobacterium nucleatum. Although present as a normal resident in the oral cavity, this Gram-negative pathogen is dominant in periodontal disease and it is involved in many invasive infections in the population, acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, as well as many adverse events with a fatal outcome.

Aim: To determine the role of F. nucleatum in the development of polymicrobial biofilms thus pathogenic changes in and out of the oral media.

Material and method: A systematic review of the literature concerning the determination and role of F. nucleatum through available clinical trials, literature reviews, original research and articles published electronically at Pub Med and Google Scholar.

Conclusion: The presence of Fusobacterium nucleatum is commonly associated with the health status of individuals. These anaerobic bacteria plays a key role in oral pathological conditions and has been detected in many systemic disorders causing complex pathogenethic changes probably due to binding ability to various cells thus several virulence mechanisms.

Most common diseases and conditions in the oral cavity associated with F.nucleatum are gingivitis (G), chronic periodontitis (CH), aggressive periodontitis (AgP), endo-periodental infections (E-P), chronic apical periodontitis (PCHA). The bacterium has been identified and detected in many systemic disorders such as coronary heart disease (CVD) pathological pregnancy (P); polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), high-risk pregnancy (HRP), colorectal cancer (CRC); pre-eclampsia (PE); rheumatoid arthritis (RA); osteoarthritis (OA).
The Strategic Dimension of the Public Health Sector in the Global Age. The Nexus Between Public Health and National Security
Authors: Dinicu Anca
Published: June 2020

Although the health sector is a great contributor to the well-being status of every individual and community as a whole, and it is recognized that good health supports the economy, the idea of connecting it with the national security was not very much promoted by the public policymakers, nor by the academics. Over the last three decades, not only that the situation has started to change, but even the concept of health security has gained acceptance and attractiveness. Nevertheless, there is a great debate in theory and practice concerning the real meaning of the concept and the way of understanding it by the professionals from different domains connected with the public health sector. Not to mention that its importance is brought into discussion mainly in times of crisis and the disagreement regarding its content and scope is much deeper between developed and developing countries. This paper proposes to make the necessary distinction between the concepts that constitute the foundation of the specific analysis, but without treating them in a separate way. Also, by dealing with the concept of health security, it aims at highlighting the role of government in the process and last, but not least, to emphasize the need of international cooperation in the global age.
Assessment of Priorities of Construction of High-Speed Rail in the Czech Republic in Terms of Impacts on Internal and External Integration
Authors: Pařil Vilém , Viturka Milan
Published: June 2020

The priorities assessment for the planned construction of high-speed rail/HSR in the Czech Republic in terms of impacts on internal and external integration is a though-provoking topic not only from the technical and economic, but also from the social and geographical point of view. Its primary basis is the application of the gravity model, according to which the planned route C Prague-Wien has the most significant potential in passenger transport. Then following routes are A Prague-Berlin, B Prague-München, and D Brno-Katowice. Subsequently, the likely impacts generated by a significant improvement in the quality parameters and hence the competitive position of rail transport were assessed, including the potential for shifting part of the demand from the road and air transport to HSR. Overall, however, it can be stated that the potential impacts of the HSR on the growth of passenger transport in the Czech Republic will not be essential. To perceive the regional impacts of HSR construction, analyses of selected indicators (population density per km2, GDP per capita, unemployment rate) by NUTS 3 regions for the period 2007-2017 were also carried out. From the strategic point of view, the research results did not confirm that the planned construction of the HSR primarily stimulates convergence tendencies in regional development as the main priority of EU regional policy. Rather, it seems more likely that the HSR will stimulate the extraction of economic activity from “rural” regions in favour of metropolitan regions.
New evidence on the Pseudorelative-First Hypothesis: Spanish attachment preferences revisited
Authors: Alonso-Pascua Borja
Published: June 2020

This paper is aimed at testing the Pseudo Relative-First Hypothesis in Spanish, a proposal that may settle the long-standing question of cross-linguistic variation in attachment preferences. This hypothesis predicts that whenever a Pseudo Relative (PR) is obtainable, it will be preferred for parsing over a genuine relative clause (RC). Assuming that PRs only allow for high attachment (HA), it follows that HA will be obtained when a PR is possible. To test this hypothesis, two experiments previously conducted in Italian will be replicated in Spanish with sentences containing PR-ambiguous and unambiguous RCs. In experiment 1 PR-availability is manipulated by modifying structural conditions, while in experiment 2 the PRs are only manipulated through semantic conditions. The results obtained show that PR-possible contexts do not yield the predicted HA. It will be argued that this finding, together with the data provided by the Italian experiments, only partially support the PR-First Hypothesis.
The Application of Estoppel in International Law and Experiences for Vietnam
Authors: Long Tran Thang
Published: June 2020

In international relation, estoppel is a principle whereby a state is not able to say or act against what it said or did before. The theory of estoppel was originated in the past from the English law system, which was later incorporated into international law. Its main purpose is to prevent a State from benefiting from its inconsistent attitudes, and thus, causing damage to another State. Therefore, estoppel must meet the main conditions. First, the expression of the said State leads to the assumption of the estoppel must be clear and non-ambiguous. Second, this expression must be expressed voluntarily, unconditionally and must be well authorized. Third, there must be a goodwill trust from another State into the expression of a State giving that expression, resulting in damage to the State with this trust or to the benefit of the expressive side. The paper examines the principle of estoppel in international law and the practice of applying this principle in cases tried at the International Court of Justice. On that basis, the paper discusses explaining the factors that constitute an estoppel situation for Vietnam in order to reject the China’s wrong interpretation of the 1958 Diplomatic Note of the late Prime Minister Pham Van Dong.

Published: June 2020

This study aims to assess the level of preparedness of visually disabled people in terms of the emergency response plan for earthquake and tsunami. This study uses analytical methods, cross-sectional design, and questionnaires as data collection tools. The sample of this study was 54 visually disabled people who were living in Banda Aceh. The analysis revealed that the level of preparedness of the emergency response plan, the majority of visually disabled people has a low level of preparedness to plan an emergency response (63%), especially the total blindness group (46.3%). The Mann-Whitney test results showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between the visual impairment group and total blindness group on the preparedness of the emergency response plan (p = 0.016). Hence, this study suggests some recommendations, including a disaster preparedness program that is sensitive to people with disabilities, increasing the participation of people with disabilities in DRR education, and increasing the accessibility of people with disabilities to DRR teaching/learning materials.

Published: June 2020

Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran perilaku yang berperan terhadap obesitas pada perempuan dewasa muda, menurut Theory of Reasoned Action  (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1975) dan teori Self-Efficacy (Bandura, 1986). Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif terhadap tiga perempuan dewasa muda (27-31 tahun) yang berdomisili di Jakarta. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun tiap partisipan memiliki latar belakang berbeda yang membentuk kondisi obesitas, terdapat kesamaan dalam aspek-aspek yang mendasari perilaku. Pada aspek attitude, partisipan menganggap makan sebagai cara menghadapi kondisi stres. Pada aspek subjective norms, partisipan merasakan dukungan dari orang terdekat, namun tidak ditunjukkan melalui tindakan nyata. Faktor mood yang negatif dan pengetahuan minimal akan perilaku sehat pada setiap partisipan juga memengaruhi keyakinan diri (self-efficacy) dalam berperilaku. Faktor biologis dan lingkungan  cukup berperan terhadap pembentukan kondisi obesitas. Hasil studi ini merekomendasikan rancangan intervensi yang berfokus pada attitude, subjective norms, dan self-efficacy dari perilaku yang berperan terhadap kondisi obesitas.
Fundamentals of Delineation of Area of Mineral and hot Water Potential in Duyen Hai area, Hung Ha district, Thai Binh Province, Viet Nam for Exploration Purpose

Published: June 2020

Mineral and hot water is a valuable resource that can be used for nursing and physiotherapy, making bottled water, making beverage and healing, exploiting useful minerals, energy extraction, even cultivation spirulina and other purposes. Hot groundwater was discovered during the 90s of the 20th century in Duyen Hai commune, Hung Ha district, Thai Binh province, but no exploration and evaluation studies were conducted to determine the potential of the mineral and hot water in the area. Spatial distribution of groundwater temperature and the total mineralization in the study area of the mineral and hot water occurrence and its surrounding area has allowed to identify the area of mineral and hot water origin, and that the hot water belongs to average hot water with a temperature of about 49 degrees Celsius. Analyzing the tectonic structure has showed that the mineral and hot water is formed at an area surrounded by three class-2 faults, which have a vertical displacement amplitude of 100 m - 1,000 m and a destructive zone of over 100 m. This is an area with favorable conditions to bring geothermal source and dissolved minerals in surrounding rocks to groundwater in the above aquifers. The approach presented in the paper can be applied to conduct research on potential mineral and hot water in other areas: determine values of some mineral and hot water parameters such as temperature and TDS, compile maps of spatial distribution of the parameters, clarify characteristics of tectonic structure relevant to anomaly of high temperature and TDS.

A complex of a mobile device for treating fingerprints with iodine vapour, photographic and video equipment, and an ozonator will increase the effectiveness of investigative activities of p[erative units during law-enforcement intelligence operations. The research is based on the dialectical method of cognition, general scientific methods: observation, experiment, comparison, description, measurement, etc., and general logical methods and research techniques. The scientific novelty consists in the creation of a way to use iodine vapour and ozone-air mixture to treat fingerprints, which would help to get the suspect’s fingerprints quickly, without disarranging the evidences, without any traces after the registration of a fingerprint, and without the seizure of the object bearing the fingerprint. Such a mechanism used during law-enforcement intelligence operations would help identify the person suspected of having committed an offence.

Published: June 2020

The topicality of the research consists in the necessity to enhance the state’s control function aimed at the improvement of effectiveness of the internal and the external financial control for the purpose of prevention and extinction of misappropriation of state funds. One of the key tasks in this direction is the improvement of effectiveness of control activities in the finance sector.  Evidentiary material is the fundamental category of law. However, whilst the problem of evidence has been thoroughly studied within law-enforcement legal process, it has been considered only superficially within control legal process, and hasn’t been scientifically studied yet.  The authors use the system method; the structural-functional method, which helps to detect the essence of the key elements of the evidentiary process; the components of sociological methodology basically aimed at the development of substantiation of the assessment of the modern state of legal regulation of control activities and confirmation of evidence. The purpose of the research is to consider the evidence used during control activities by the officials of the Accounts Chamber and the Federal Treasury with the aim to analyze the equality of the material definitions formulating them and the real procedural forms.  The research object is social relations emerging during control activities of the internal and the external financial control involving the Federal Treasury and the Accounts Chamber. The research subject is legal provisions regulating the process of gathering and confirmation of evidence during control activities by the officials of the Federal Treasury and the Accounts Chamber. The practical importance of the research consists in the formulation of suggestions for the improvement of legal provisions regulating the control process in the financial sector.   
Barriers to access dental care services among adult population: A systematic review
Authors: Krishnan Lakshmi , C. S. Aarthy , Kumar Parangimalai Diwakar Madan
Published: June 2020

Objective:

This systematic review was done with the aim of assessing the barriers faced in utilizing dental care services by general population in age group between 20 and 60 years in India as these findings would provide evidence for making appropriate decisions in our National Oral Health Policy which could further improve access to dental care services for people across India. This was a systematic review.

Materials and Methods:

For this review, PubMed, TRIP database, Cochrane, and Google Scholar were the electronic databases searched based on the PICO. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- Analyses guidelines were followed for the final inclusion of articles.

Results:

The search generated a total of 91 articles from four different electronic bases: PubMed, TRIP database, Cochrane, and Google Scholar. Based on the inclusion criteria, 14 articles made it to the final analysis. All 14 studies reported a lack of time and nonavailability of dentists as major barriers in accessing dental care services.

Conclusion:

The cross-sectional studies of this review were assessed for quality using a modified Newcastle- Ottawa Scale, proposed by Egger et al. in 2003. Even though the available literature forms a lower standard of evidence, further evaluation of barriers using a standardized questionnaire is recommended using better-designed studies to substantiate the unequal access to health-care facilities to Indian Population.
An emerging new variant of tobacco – A pilot study
Authors: Dharshanram R. , Madankumar Parangimalai Diwakar
Published: June 2020

Objectives:

The tobacco epidemic is one of the biggest public health threats, the world has ever faced and more than 6 million of those deaths are the result of direct tobacco use. Chewing tobacco is a type of finely cut and ground, dried form of smokeless tobacco product. It is commonly and idiomatically known by various terms most often as chew. In addition, it is also widespread in the migrant populations from Indian states such as Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Odisha, and Telangana. Aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of the new variant of tobacco (BONDAKUTCHI), among population being surveyed at Ranipet, Tamil Nadu.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted at Thirumalai Mission Hospital, Ranipet, Vellore. We mainly focused on a group of participants who are from zone 1. Convenience sample of 62 participants within the age group of 20–80-year-old population and both males and females were included in the study. Oral health status was assessed using the WHO pro forma (2013) and Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence. Scales for smokeless tobacco used to assess the nicotine dependency.

Results:

Among 62 participants, 38 were male and 24 were female. The mean age of this participant was 45.20 ± 11.03 years. Among the 62 participants, 62% of the population had a habit of using the new variant of tobacco products.

Conclusion:

While legislators should consider enforcing and extending existing tobacco laws to a growing new variant of tobacco, further research is required to fill gaps in the literature and provide evidence based interventions for tobacco control specialists and health-care professionals.
Prevalence of developmental defects of enamel among children with intellectual disability – A systematic review
Authors: Aarthy C. S. , Kumar P. D. Madan
Published: June 2020

The purpose of this review was formulated with an aim to understand the prevalence of enamel defects among ID children. An identical search was performed in PubMed, Google scholar, and Cochrane review and was limited to human studies and studies written in English. Reviews, case studies, and case series were excluded from the study. A total of 56 articles were identified. In PubMed 18 articles, Google scholar 29 articles and Cochrane review nine articles were found, respectively. In this, two studies (n = 2), dealt with the developmental defects of enamel with intellectual disability (ID)/mental retardation. This systematic review suggests that developmental defects of enamel was more common in ID children than normal children. A larger number of well designed studies are, however, needed to increase the validity of the studies.
How Plausible Is Getting Ferromagnetic Interactions by Coupling Blatter’s Radical via Its Fused Benzene Ring?
Authors: Khurana Rishu , Bajaj Ashima , Ali Md. Ehesan
Published: June 2020

In an effort to obtain superior magnetic properties, all the possible isomers of di-Blatter diradical coupled through its fused benzene ring are investigated employing numerous density and wave function-based methods. It reveals that the energetically stable and also experimentally reported diradicals are anti-ferromagnetic in nature due to dominant coexisting exchange interactions between the strongly localized micro-magnetic radical centers. However, due to strong steric hindrance in certain cases, the exchange interaction switches from anti-ferromagnetic to weak ferromagnetic interactions. Moreover, we propose the modified version of spin alternation rule, called here as zonal spin alternation rule, which can be applied successfully to predict exchange interactions in such diradicals.
Moe Kitenga: a qualitative study of perceptions of infant and child sleep practices among Māori whānau

Published: June 2020

Insufficient sleep is a strong risk factor for unhealthy weight gain in children. Māori (the indigenous population of Aotearoa (New Zealand)) children have an increased risk of unhealthy weight gain compared to New Zealand European children. Interventions around sleep could provide an avenue for improving health and limiting excessive weight gain with other meaningful benefits for whānau (extended family) well-being. However, current messages promoting good sleep may not be realistic for many Māori whānau. Using qualitative methods, the Moe Kitenga project explored the diverse realities of sleep in 14 Māori whānau. We conclude that for infant sleep interventions to prevent obesity and improve health outcomes for Māori children, they must take into account the often pressing social circumstances of many Māori whānau that are a barrier to adopting infant sleep recommendations, otherwise sleep interventions could create yet another oppressive standard that whānau fail to live up to.
