“For the workers” – A tribute to Prof. Edward Webster
Authors: Ludwig Carmen
Published: August 2024

As a distinguished research professor, Edward (Eddie) Webster made a huge contribution to the field of labour sociology in South Africa and globally. Eddie Webster’s engagement as a political sociologist went beyond the careful analysis of political processes and changes in society, he also took a principled standpoint for social justice and in support of the democratic labour movement all throughout his career. With this commitment he inspired generations of students. It was motivated by his own biography and the eventful history of his country South Africa. This slightly revised personal tribute to Eddie Webster was held by the author at the 20th year anniversary event of the Global Labour University on 30th April in Berlin.

Authors: Sirageddin Alhmadi  , Ahmed Mhanni
Published: August 2024

Amalgam has historically been a widely used restorative material for posterior teeth, valued for its longevity. However, concerns about mercury-related health risks and aesthetic drawbacks have led to a decline in its usage. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of dental students, interns, and practicing dentists regarding dental amalgam in dental institutions in western Libya. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 409 participants, including dental students, interns, dental officers, and faculty members. The questionnaire consisted of 18 questions related to the knowledge, utilization, and safety of dental amalgam. Data analysis using SPSS version 27 revealed that most participants rarely used amalgam, influenced by aesthetic concerns and patient preferences. There was a clear preference for composite resin as an alternative restorative material, indicating a trend towards discontinuing amalgam due to safety and environmental issues. The study concluded that most respondents rarely use dental amalgam, primarily due to aesthetic considerations, patient preferences for tooth-colored materials, and increased awareness of mercury toxicity.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Obesity is a chronic relapsing disease characterized by abnormal or excessive adiposity with health risks. Any nutritional intervention in patients who are candidates for or have already undergone bariatric surgery must be based on a detailed nutritional assessment, including an assessment of personal values, preferences, and social determinants of eating habits. Objective: It was to carry out a systematic review to explore and present nutritional importance before, during, and after bariatric surgery. Methods: The PRISMA Platform systematic review rules were followed. The research was carried out from September to October 2023 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: 122 articles were found. A total of 43 articles were evaluated in full and 34 were included and developed in the present systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 22 studies with a high risk of bias and 26 studies that did not meet GRADE and AMSTAR-2. Most studies showed homogeneity in their results, with X2=64.5%>50%. It was concluded that enteral nutrition strategies could represent a possible alternative to other methodologies, especially when it is recommended to improve patient adherence to the diet prescribed before bariatric surgery. Weight loss induced by the ketogenic diet before bariatric surgery has beneficial effects in reducing liver volume, metabolic profile, and intra- and postoperative complications. Knowledge of the type of bariatric surgery performed and an understanding of its anatomy and physiology help provide optimal care to patients, especially nutritional complications. Nutritional deficiencies and metabolic disorders result from “malabsorption” procedures, such as RYGB. It is essential to immediately administer thiamine. Dextrose should be avoided in intravenous hydration until thiamine is adequately replaced. For all bariatric patients, a protein intake of 60-70 g/d and multivitamin with iron and vitamin B12 supplementation is recommended. Daily calcium and vitamin D supplementation is also encouraged. Additionally, serum micronutrient levels should be monitored regularly and additional supplemental measures prescribed as indicated.

Objective To assess the effect of endometrial thickness (EMT) on live birth rates (LBR) in women with endometrial lining between 7.0-9.9 mm.Methods This retrospective cohort study included women who underwent fresh and frozen embryo transfers between 2008 and 2018, grouped according to their maximum EMT; group 1, 7.0-7.9 mm; group 2, 8.0-8.9 mm; and group 3, 9.0-9.9 mm and underwent blastocyst transfer.Results The study included 7,091 in-vitro fertilization cycles: 1,385 in group 1, 3,000 in group 2, and 2,706 in group 3. The combined LBR was 22.2%. The mean age of women at oocyte retrieval day was 36.7±4.5 years. There was no difference in female age at oocyte retrieval or in the quality of embryos transferred between the three groups. Group 1 had more diagnoses of diminished ovarian reserve (25.8% vs. 19.5% and 19.1%; p<0.001) and less male factor infertility compared with group 2 and 3, respectively (25.0% vs. 28.8% and 28.5%; P=0.024). LBR was higher with increasing endometrial thickness, group 2 vs. group 1 (22.0% vs. 17.4%; P=0.0004), group 3 vs. group 1 (25.0% vs. 17.2%; p<0.001), and group 3 vs. group 2 (25.0% vs. 22.0%; P=0.008). After controlling for confounding factors, these three groups did not differ in LBR (group 1 vs. group 2, odds ratio [OR], 1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.83-1.4; P=0.54 and group 1 vs. group 3, OR, 1.16; 95% CI, 0.90-1.51; P=0.24).Conclusion Live birth rates in women with endometrial thickness between 7.0-9.9 mm were not affected by different cut-offs when blastocyst transfer was performed.

O Brasil, principalmente a Amazônia, é rico em frutas que são consumidas in natura e sob outras formas como doces e bebidas. O jambo vermelho é uma fruta muito cultivada na regia amazônica, tanto para fins ornamentais como alimentícios, sendo uma fonte rica de compostos fitoquímicos. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar variáveis físicas e físico-químicas em polpas de jambo vermelho de frutos oriundos do campus de Belém da Universidade Federal do Pará, em duas épocas de coleta diferentes, além de aplicar técnicas multivariadas na tentativa de discriminar as amostras. Os resultados mostraram não haver diferenças significativas das variáveis estudadas de acordo com a safra, exceto valores de condutividade elétrica, sendo que eles se mostraram concordantes com valores da literatura e/ou legislação. As análises multivariadas aplicadas não foram capazes de discriminar as amostras de acordo com a safra dos frutos, demonstrando que as variáveis estudadas não sofrem influências significativas conforme o período de coleta dos frutos.
Influence of gestation housing on sow behavior and fertility
Authors: Jansen Jarno , Kirkwood Roy , Zanella Adroaldo , Tempelman Robert
Published: August 2024

Objective: To examine the effect of group housing sows on their behavior and fertility. Materials and methods: In Experiment One, at 65 to 70 days of gestation, 96 sows were assigned by parity to individual or group housing and observed for aggressive encounters during three 1.5-hour time blocks immediately after relocation and 1 day later. On the third day, feeding-time aggression was observed during two 30-minute feeding periods, starting when feed was dropped. Saliva samples obtained from unrestrained sows 1 day before and after relocation were assayed for cortisol concentrations. In Experiment Two, 937 mixed-parity sows in 10 weekly breeding groups were either housed in groups of approximately 50 (n = 462) or individually housed in gestation stalls (n = 475). For 140 individually-housed and 330 group-housed sows, backfat depths at the P2 position were determined using A-mode ultrasonography at gestation days 55 to 60, at farrowing, and at weaning. Results: Group-housed sows were involved in more aggressive encounters than stall-housed animals (P < .05). Aggressive encounters per hour were more numerous in grouped sows during feeding on day 3 than during the day of grouping (P < .001). Salivary cortisol concentrations were higher in grouped sows, but differences between pre-and post-relocation concentrations were not correlated with levels of aggression. There was no effect of housing on backfat depths or sow fertility. Implication: If sows are grouped during gestation, particular attention should be directed toward feeding management to avoid excessive aggression and possible adverse effects on welfare.
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus: Age and management system disease modeling for pathogenic co-infection
Authors: Dorr Paul , Gebreyes Wondwossen , Almond Glen
Published: August 2024

Objectives: To construct models evaluating statistically significant associations between porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and co-infectious agents, and to assess effects of changes in age and management system on co-infection status, serological profiles, lung lesions, and histopathological lesions in PRRSV-positive pigs Materials and methods: Pigs 3, 9, 16, and 24 weeks of age from 41 sow sources representing one-, two-, and three-site production systems were necropsied on the basis of acute, subacute, and chronic disease stages (n = 5 animals per age group per farm). Logistic regression models were used to assess co-infection with other pathogens, serological profiles, and histopathological lesions in pigs PRRSV-positive by polymerase chain reaction and with lung lesions consistent with PRRSV infection, and in PRRSV-negative pigs. Additional models were stratified by age and type of production system. Results: In the overall model, clinically ill PRRSV-positive pigs were more likely than PRRSV-negative pigs to be co-infected with swine influenza virus (SIV) type A (OR, 2.40; 95% CI, 1.07-5.39) and to have lung scores in the 11% to 50% range (OR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.06-2.57). Three-week-old PRRSV-positive pigs were more likely to be co-infected with porcine circovirus type 2 (OR, 8.83; 95% CI, 1.76-44.26). Nine- and 16-week-old pigs were 15.57 and 5.75 times as likely to be co-infected with SIV, respectively. Implications: Changes in PRRSV infection, disease manifestation, and associated co-factors such as age and type of management system are important considerations for prevention, vaccination timing, diagnostic testing, and treatment for disease complexes associated with PRRSV.
Influence of method of administration of prostaglandin on farrowing and relationship between gestation length and piglet performance
Authors: Straw Barbara , Bates Ronald , May Gerald
Published: August 2024

Objectives: To compare stillbirth rates for litters born during or after the work day; to compare effectiveness of single or split doses of prostaglandin F2α (PGF) administered by injection or topically to induce farrowing; and to determine whether gestational age of the piglet at birth affects its preweaning performance. Materials and methods: Prostaglandin F2α was administered to sows 113 days after the last insemination, either by intravulval injection or vaginal mucosal application and either in a single 5-mg dose or two half-doses given at a 6-hour interval. Control sows were not treated. Time of parturition and litter performance were recorded. Results: Approximately 17% to 54% of treated sows and 17% of controls farrowed during the work day on gestation day 114. The single-dose mucosal application of PGF was less effective in inducing parturition during working hours of day 114 than the other three methods of administration, which produced comparable results. Number of stillborns per litter did not differ in treated sows and controls, nor in litters farrowed at night compared to those farrowed during the work day. Shorter gestation length was associated with lighter birth weight, but birth weights and weights 122 days after the last insemination and at 12 days of age did not differ among piglets of treated and control sows. Implications:. Administration of PGF by split-dose topical mucosal application or single or split-dose intravulval injection are equally effective at inducing parturition. Induction and shortening of gestation length do not adversely affect gain in piglets.

Published: August 2024

Objective: To determine the impact of stage of pregnancy at grouping and presence of boars on fertility of group-housed sows. Materials and methods: In Experiment One, 617 mixed-parity weaned sows were assigned at the time of insemination to be housed individually or in groups of 15. Each group of 15 unfamiliar sows comprised three sows at each of 2, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days from breeding. Sows were floor-fed a standard gestation ration once daily (approximately 2.5 kg per sow). After 5 weeks in groups, sows were re-housed in individual stalls until farrowing. In Experiment Two, 1584 sows on two farms were relocated after insemination to outdoor paddocks in groups of approximately 50, with or without inclusion within the group of three mature boars. Sows and boars were allowed ad libitum access to feed for an 8-hour period every third day, and the boars were removed after 2 weeks. Results: In Experiment One, there was no effect of grouping per se, or day of gestation when grouped, on farrowing rate or subsequent litter sizes. In Experiment Two, farrowing rates and litter sizes were not affected by boar exposure. Implications: These data indicate that sows can be successfully group-housed during gestation. Inclusion of boars in the social group does not improve fertility of group-housed sows.

Objectives: To evaluate clinical and production parameters in pigs vaccinated with commercially available Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M hyo) bacterins, then co-infected with M hyo and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2). Materials and methods: Weaned pigs (n = 296) were each vaccinated with one of three M hyo bacterins or a placebo and challenged 3 and 5 weeks after the second vaccination with M hyo and PCV2, respectively. A subset of pigs, necropsied 2 or 4 weeks after PCV2 challenge, were evaluated for clinical signs, lesions, PCV2 serum levels, and M hyo in bronchial alveolar lavage fluids. Antibody titers to M hyo and PCV2 and average daily gain (ADG) were determined periodically during the trial. Estimated carcass value was determined at market weight. Results: In the placebo group, the challenge caused severe respiratory disease associated with M hyo and PCV2. There was no evidence of vaccine-enhanced PCV2 associated disease, in that the vaccine and placebo groups did not differ in PCV2 serum levels, severity of PCV2 lesions, or incidence of PCV2-associated disease. Vaccinated groups had lower lung lesion scores at necropsy 2 weeks post challenge and higher body weights and ADG at the study conclusion. Implications: When short-term clinical and long-term production parameters are evaluated, control of M hyo infection by M hyo vaccination is an important tool in reducing respiratory disease and production losses in herds infected with both PCV2 and M hyo. Under the conditions of this study, M hyo vaccination does not enhance disease associated with PCV2 infection.

Authors: Ragland Darryl , Stevenson Deborah , Hill Michael
Published: August 2024

Objective: To evaluate the growth-promoting potential of oregano oil and multi-component carbohydrases individually and in combination. Materials and methods: One hundred eighty 21-day-old Yorkshire-Landrace pigs were randomly assigned to five treatments. Treatments were the unsupplemented, unmedicated basal diet (Control) and the basal diet supplemented with either 4.41 g per tonne flavomycin (Huvepharma, Inc, Peachtree City, Georgia; Flavomycin), 1.5 kg per tonne oregano oil (Van Beek Scientific, Orange City, Iowa; Oregano), 50.1 g per tonne multi-component carbohydrase (Van Beek Scientific; Carbohydrase), or a combination of 750 g per tonne oregano oil and 50.1 g per tonne carbohydrase (Oregano oil-carbohydrase). Results: Pigs fed the Flavomycin diet achieved the highest (P < .05) final bodyweights, average daily gain, and average daily feed intake (ADFI). Pigs fed the Oregano oil-carbohydrase diet exhibited better feed efficiency than pigs fed the Control, Flavomycin, and Oregano diets (P < .05). Average daily gain of pigs fed the Control diet and Carbohydrase and Oregano oil-carbohydrase diets did not differ (P > .05). Pigs fed the Control diet had higher ADFI than pigs fed the Oregano, Carbohydrase, or Oregano oil-carbohydrase diets (P < .05). Implications: Under the conditions of this study, oregano oil and multi-component carbohydrases, fed individually or in combination, are inferior to flavomycin as growth-promoting supplements for nursery pigs. diets (P < .05).

O devido uso da lusitana língua
Authors: Bessa Ferreira Raphael , Medeiros Adonai da Silva de
Published: August 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo mostrar como se realizam duas vertentes expressivas do estilo de Alonso Jr. (2023) em seu livro de poesia Ibéria, são elas: a parodística, e sua inter-relação com a carnavalização, e o pensamento poético da obra. A primeira seção busca apresentar como se desenvolve o efeito da paródia e como ele se faz importante para a construção de um estilo carnavalizado, jungindo os acontecimentos dos feitos das grandes navegações, ao dialogar/parodiar textos de Gil Vicente e Camões, por exemplo, em meio a outros jogos intertextuais, como em Drummond e Pessoa. Isso conduziu o estudo ao pensamento poético da obra (segunda seção deste artigo) através da série de poemas “Diário filosófico de bordo”, de vez que nesta série o poeta, por meio de sua expressividade, dialoga com os estilo e ideário medieval que alicerçam sua obra, mas sem deixar de fora o contemporâneo por meio de intertextos e apropriações de poemas de Ungaretti. Além dos escritores citados, o artigo traz para o diálogo, em fomento à discussão a respeito da expressividade literária, Bakhtin (1987; 2011), Staiger (1969), Braida (2014), Friedrich (1978), dentre outros. Assim, nota-se em Ibéria uma preocupação em pensar e questionar tanto as consequências das grandes navegações e uma identidade ibérica quanto, quase que paradoxalmente, recolocar a poesia e o uso da língua ao labor da própria poesia.
Análise léxico-estilística da infância em "O amor dos homens avulsos", de Victor Heringer
Authors: De Plato Isadora
Published: August 2024

O artigo investiga como a infância, no romance "O Amor dos Homens Avulsos", é representada por meio de processos de estilo. A infância não apenas permeia o enredo, mas assume um papel formal no romance, evidenciado pela estilização do modo de pensar, agir e se expressar das crianças. Utilizando como pressuposto teórico-metodológico a abordagem da estilística estrutural desenvolvida por Riffaterre (1971; 1989), a análise foca em procedimentos estilísticos lexicais, morfológicos e fonológicos presentes no romance, examinando três trechos para elucidar como o potencial expressivo desses recursos se concretiza no texto, gerando diferentes efeitos de sentido. Os processos estilísticos analisados são: criação onomatopaica, neologismos sintáticos e o uso de palavras formadas com sufixo diminutivo. Com base nos estudos de Riffaterre (1989), Cressot (1963), Cardoso (2013; 2018) e Gonçalves (2016) sobre a expressividade de recursos lexicais e morfológicos em textos literários, o artigo busca demonstrar que os procedimentos estilísticos usados por Heringer (2016) resultam na criação de uma ambientação lúdica para as cenas e na emulação da fala infantil, caracterizada pela recursividade, criatividade lexical e pela motivação dos signos, conforme apontam Moreira (2022) e Cressot (1963).

Improvement of the Evaluation of Seismic Risk in Fault Areas by Lidar-Derived Geophysical Data
Authors: Molua Collins O.
Published: August 2024

This study aimed to improve the methods of assessing seismic risk in fault zones based on lidar data in geophysics. The research highlighted this by comparing the newly developed fault maps with the usual methods of fault mapping and how lidar technology developed high-resolution 3D mapping. We conducted mobile and terrestrial LIDAR surveys to produce DEMs and study the attributes of the fault zones. The technique involved mobile lidar systems with different specifications of emitted transmission rate: 45 000 m/s to 52, 100m/s pulse repetition: 190, 000 Hz–220, 000 Hz; and point density: 10223 points/m2 to 14567 points/m2. Terrestrial lidar surveys used scanner heights of 1. 500-1. 700m and obtained the horizontal and vertical sampling density, ranging from 240,456 to 315,678 points per square meter. We used LAStools, Arc GIS, and QISIS software to filter, classify, and visualize the data processing. e applied interpolation techniques such as IDW, Kriging, Spline, and Natural Neighbors to generate DEMs. Research outcomes identified 15 different fault segments with lengths varying from 10. 000-20. 000 km, along with maximum displacements of 0. 987-4. 567 m, and average slip rates of 3. 456-7. 890 mm/year. The most extended fault segment altogether was FS05, which was 20. 000 km with a maximum bidding distance of 4. 567 m and a 7. 890 mm/year slip rate. We discovered that the proposed method successfully filtered out noise points from lidar data, with the noise points varying between 0.111-0.266 million. We created DEMs with vertical rms errors ranging from 0.045-0.050 m. The study revealed that lidar technology offers accurate and dense geospatial data, essential for discriminating between fault zones. This approach dramatically improves seismic hazard analysis and the identification of the best ways to minimize risks. These are increasing lidar surveys in other seismically active regions, using multiple data sources for analysis, and deploying constant surveys in high-risk fault line regions to increase consistency in detecting surface changes and tectonic activity.

Published: August 2024

Artificial Intelligence has become the emphasis on the needs of future society. The digital era of education demands critical thinking skills, digital literacy and fundamental abilities to navigate and verify information. This development can be supported by the ability of AI chatbots to provide large volume of information in an interactive and efficient way. The goal of this paper is to examine the interest of the chosen BSCS and BSIT students in Metro Manila in utilizing three generative AI tools: Copilot, ChatGPT, and Gemini in the accomplishment of their academic requirements. A one-shot case study was carried out by the authors on six (6) selected universities in Metro Manila. A voluntary response sampling approach was employed to gather the participants in this study. The Slovin's formula was used to calculate statistically enough samples from the population. This study involved 209 CS and IT students, 157 or 75.12% of whom were males and 52 or 24.88% of whom were females, 45 or 21.53% were BSCS students and 164 or 78.47% were BSIT students. The data was initially recorded in a comma-separated value file. The extended TAM instrument was facilitated online using Google Forms by the participants which then imported into SPSS for data understanding and statistical treatment. It was found that out of eighteen (18) observed inter-item relationships, only six (6) or 33.33% were statistically significant and had considerable impacts. Moreover, SN → AT has the highest coefficient value of 0.788 followed by the factor PU → AT of 0.732 indicating their influence on generative AI tools attitude of use (AT). Lastly, PE → AT was shown having the lowest among relationships with 0.533 coefficient value. The study concluded that computer tertiary students in Metro Manila were generally amenable to the idea of introducing generative AI techniques into their academic responsibilities.
Women Education as a Pre-Condition for Peace Culture in Nigeria

Published: August 2024

It is generally agreed that education is an instrument of change and development for an individual and the society, socially, economically, politically and technologically. A nation dominated with multitudes of illiterate women would definitely be retarded both economically, politically, socially, technologically and religiously. Women are the custodians of future leaders (the young ones). They care, nurture and nourish them and whatever knowledge, attitude and values imparted during this period determines to a great extent the personality of the child and his relationship with people. Consequently, to produce quality and reliable leaders with stable personality, the custodians (women) themselves must be stable, reliable and exposed in terms of quality and adequate knowledge of their immediate surroundings and outside world. This is only possible through education. This paper is pinned to the qualitative method of analysis, using the feminist theory. The paper finds out the imperative of women education as a pre-condition for peace culture in Nigeria. It concludes that women education, the family, society and country at large will be at peace as women are termed as “mothers of peace”. There is the need to re-focus the educational system in Nigeria to reflect on women education. Hence, the relevance of women education for the attainment of peace culture in Nigeria cannot be overemphasized, factors militating against peace culture and suggestions for its realisation are also discussed as the recommendations of this paper.
