Canine distemper (CD), caused by canine distemper virus (CDV), is a highly contagious and lethal disease in domestic and wild carnivores. Although CDV live-attenuated vaccines have reduced the incidence of CD worldwide, low levels of protection are achieved in the presence of maternal antibodies in juvenile animals. Moreover, live-attenuated CDV vaccines may retain residual virulence in highly susceptible species and cause disease. Here, we generated several CDV DNA vaccine candidates based on the biscistronic vector (pIRES) co-expressing virus wild-type or codon-optimized hemagglutinin (H) and nucleocapsid (N) or ferret interferon (IFN)-γ, as a molecular adjuvant, respectively. Apparently, ferret (Mustela putorius furo)-specific codon optimization increased the expression of CDV H and N proteins. A ferret model of CDV was used to evaluate the protective immune response of the DNA vaccines. The results of the vaccinated ferrets showed that the DNA vaccine co-expressing the genes of codon-optimized H and ferret IFN-γ (poptiH-IRES-IFN) elicited the highest anti-CDV serum-neutralizing antibodies titer (1:14) and cytokine responses (upregulated TNF-α, IL-4, IL-2, and IFN-γ expression) after the third immunization. Following vaccination, the animals were challenged with a lethal CDV 5804Pe/H strain with a dose of 105.0 TCID50. Protective immune responses induced by the DNA vaccine alleviated clinical symptoms and pathological changes in CDV-infected ferrets. However, it cannot completely prevent virus replication and viremia in vivo as well as virus shedding due to the limited neutralizing antibody level, which eventually contributed to a survival rate of 75% (3/4) against CDV infection. Therefore, the improved strategies for the present DNA vaccines should be taken into consideration to develop more protective immunity, which includes increasing antigen expression or alternative delivery routes, such as gene gun injection.

Current COVID-19 vaccines can effectively reduce disease severity and hospitalisation; however, they are not considerably effective in preventing infection and transmission. In this context, mucosal vaccines are pertinent to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and spread. In this study, we generated a replication-competent recombinant chimeric influenza A virus (IAV) expressing the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of a SARS-CoV-2 prototype in the C-terminus of the neuraminidase (NA) of A/Puerto Rico/08/1934 H1N1 (PR8). The remaining seven segments from A/WSN/1933 H1N1 (WSN) were named PR8NARBD/WSN. We observed that the recombinant virus with the WSN backbone demonstrated improved expression of NA and RBD. A single intranasal dose of PR8NARBD/WSN(103PFU) in mice generated robust mucosal immunity, neutralising antibodies, cellular immunity, and tissue-resident memory T cells specific to SARS-CoV-2 and IAV. Importantly, immunisation with PR8NARBD/WSN viruses effectively protected mice against lethal challenges with H1N1, H3N2 IAV, and SARS-CoV-2 Beta variant and significantly reduced lung viral loads. Overall, our research demonstrates the promising potential of PR8NARBD/WSN as an attractive vaccine against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants and influenza A virus infections.

This study aimed to evaluate the antibody and cellular responses to different coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination regimens in patients with cirrhosis and to assess the antibody response after a vaccine booster. We conducted a prospective observational study of 89 patients with cirrhosis and 41 healthy volunteers who received two COVID-19 vaccine doses. Next, we prospectively evaluated 24 patients with cirrhosis who received a booster COVID-19 vaccine dose. In both studies, blood samples were collected before and 4 weeks after vaccination, and anti-spike receptor-binding domain protein IgG levels, T-cell phenotypes, and effector functions were assessed. The heterologous vaccine regimen (CoronaVac [SV]/AstraZeneca [AZ]) produced a better antibody response and CD4+IFNg+ T cell response compared to homogeneous vaccine regimens. The antibody response after the second dose of the vaccine was similar in patients with cirrhosis and healthy volunteers. Patients who received a booster dose of the mRNA vaccine had significantly increased antibody titers compared to those who received the AZ vaccine. In patients with cirrhosis, heterologous vaccination with SV/AZ resulted in a better immune response than the AZ/AZ and SV/SV regimens. Moreover, a booster dose of the mRNA vaccine led to a greater increase in antibody titers compared to the AZ vaccine.
Planning Integrated Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and Conventional Vehicle Delivery Operations under Restricted Airspace: A Mixed Nested Genetic Algorithm and Geographic Information System-Assisted Optimization Approach
Authors: Kouretas Konstantinos , Kepaptsoglou Konstantinos
Published: September 2023

Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly referred to as “drones”, as a supplementary mode for last-mile deliveries has been a research focus for some years now. Motivation lies in the reduced dependency on Conventional Vehicles (CVs) and fossil fuels and in serving remote areas and underprivileged populations. We are building a flexible, modular framework for integrated CV-UAV parcel delivery operations planning that is responsive to infrastructure and demand and offers an open and practical tool for future adaptations. The entire model and solution methodology are practical tools for decision making and strategic planning, with novelties such as the variable Launch Site types for Launch and Recovery Operations (LAROs), the tailored Assignment and Routing Optimization nested GA, the consideration of airspace restrictions of any shape and size, the inclusion of GIS tools in the process, the modularity of the platform, and most importantly, the inclusion of all the above in a single, comprehensive, and holistic approach. Because of the need for safe UAV deployment sites and the high presence of restricted airspace zones in urban environments, the intended field of application is assumed to be the delivery of small packages in rural and under-connected areas, the execution of inter-city deliveries, and the expansion of a city’s original service range. A single CV is equipped onboard with UAVs, while special locations, such as Remote Depots (RDs) with UAVs and Virtual Hubs (VHs) for UAV deployment facilitation, are introduced. The framework considers the presence of Restricted Zones (RZs) for UAV flights. Part of the methodology is implemented in a GIS environment, taking advantage of modern tools for spatial analysis and optimal path planning. We have designed a tailored nested GA method for solving the occurring mode assignment and vehicle routing optimization problems and have implemented our workflow on a devised case study with benchmark characteristics. Our model responds well to unfavorable network types and demand locations, while the presence of RZs notably affects the expected solution and should be considered in the decision-making process.
Modelling and Simulation of Aerodynamic Cylindrical Bearings Using ANSYS Hydrodynamic Bearing Element Types
Authors: Baumann Katrin , Freund Hermann
Published: September 2023

Modern power engine concepts and environmental restrictions demand oil-free lubrication of rotors, for example, by gas bearings. However, the stiffness and damping properties ruling the rotor’s dynamics are poorly documented for aerodynamic bearings and simple calculation methods are lacking. Based on the similarity between aerodynamic and hydrodynamic journal bearings, it is investigated to what extent the hydrodynamic bearing element types of the commercial FE program ANSYS are also suitable for air bearings. Within these elements, the compressibility of the gas is neglected. After verification of the ANSYS hydrodynamic element types with literature data for cylindrical hydrodynamic bearings, the stiffness and damping coefficients of a cylindrical aerodynamic bearing are calculated by using the ANSYS hydrodynamic element types. In the examined speed range, the results agree well with literature data that consider gas compressibility. Therefore, the FE elements designed for hydrodynamical journal bearings may also be used for simulating cylindrical aerodynamic bearings. The presented calculation approach provides a compact and easy-to-use method for rotordynamic simulations with cylindrical aerodynamic bearings in a single development environment.
The Effect of Month and District on 100-Day In-Calf Rate in Year-Round Calving Dairy Herds

Published: September 2023

Monitoring 100-day in-calf rate (100DICR) is an integral part of the assessment of reproductive performance in year-round calving dairy herds. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of month on 100DICR in year-round calving herds in New South Wales (NSW), Australia and determine whether a fluctuating 100DICR target is an appropriate alternative to a constant 100DICR target. The 100DICR is defined as the percentage of all current lactating cows over 100 days in milk (DIM) that conceive on or before 100 DIM. As dairy cows are typically dried off 7 months after conception, 100DICR was an approximate 7-month rolling average. Mean monthly 100DICRs were calculated with a generalised linear model for six NSW north coast herds located 15–140 km from the coast and four NSW south coast herds located less than 10 km from the coast, over a two-year period. The mean 100DICR was lowest in May at 28.62% (95%CI 28.31–28.93) and increased during winter and spring, peaking in December at 34.74% (95%CI 34.32–35.15). The observed trend was similar for north and south coast herds, although north coast herds experienced a greater change in 100DICR from the peak to a nadir of 27.58% (95%CI 27.18–27.98), a 7.15-point difference, compared to south coast herds with a nadir of 30.18% (95%CI 29.69–30.67), a 4.67-point difference between the peak and nadir. In conclusion, 100DICR is affected by month with the lowest 100DICRs observed in late autumn and the highest 100DICRs observed in late spring and early summer. Therefore, a fluctuating target 100DICR is an appropriate alternative to a constant target when assessing reproductive performance in year-round calving herds. While the district does not affect mean 100DICR per se, the district does affect the difference between peak and nadir 100DICR.

Published: September 2023

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a complete hay-based total mixed ration (TMR) for calves, focusing on their feed intake, animal growth performance, and fecal output, and to develop a preliminary estimation equation for solid feed intake and body weight in Holstein heifer calves. Twenty female Italian Holstein calves (37.14 ± 2.72 kg) born between February and July were studied from the day of birth until 77 days of age. From the fourth day of life, they were fed 3 L/day of pasteurized milk twice daily and supplemented with the same hay-based TMR. The data on feed intake, fecal characteristics, and growth performances were collected and showed that these calves had adequate parameters. Moreover, the data collected was used to create equations to predict body weight and solid feed intake using a mixed model. The goodness of fit of the developed equations was evaluated by coefficients of determinations (R2). The equation obtained shows high R2 (0.98 for solid feed intake and 0.99 for calf weight), indicating the satisfactory precision and accuracy needed to predict female calves’ body weight and solid feed intake.
Study on the Mechanism of Rainfall-Runoff Induced Nitrogen and Phosphorus Loss in Hilly Slopes of Black Soil Area, China

Published: September 2023

In order to identify the effects of the slope and precipitation intensity on the soil runoff depth and runoff rate, different tillage patterns (slope-ridge direction, horizontal slope-ridge direction, no-ridge farming) and different slopes (3° and 5°) were set up, and five typical rainfalls from June to September 2021 were selected, to dynamically monitor the soil-erosion dynamics of the test plots under different rainfall intensities. The results show that cross-slope-ridge cropping has a retention effect on runoff, which effectively inhibits the ineffective loss of rainfall confluence. Among these results, the variation range in the soil runoff depth under cross-slope-ridge treatment conditions was 0.11~0.94 mm, while that under the slope-ridge treatment and no-ridge treatment conditions was increased to 1.44~12.49 mm and 3.45~14.96 mm, respectively. It found that the loss of soil nutrients was significantly higher in the slope-ridge direction and in the no-ridge farming condition than in the horizontal slope-ridge direction. It is worth noting that, as the slope of the cultivated land increases, the erosive capacity of the precipitation runoff for the soil phosphorus increases, while the carrying capacity of the soil nitrogen decreases, and the correlation analysis results confirm that the corresponding relationship between the free diffusion capacity of the soil ammonium nitrogen and soil erosion is weaker than that between the nitrate nitrogen and soil erosion. The effects of single factors, such as the slope, ridge direction, and precipitation intensity of the cultivated land, have a significant impact on the soil water- and fertilizer-loss process, while the influence effect of the multi-factor coupling process on soil erosion is weakened. It was confirmed that the erosion process of rainfall runoff on soil nitrogen and phosphorus loss in slope cultivated land is the result of multi-factor action, and the artificial modification of the tillage mode can effectively regulate the effect of farmland water and fertilizer loss.

Published: September 2023

The object of the present study was to analyse water consumption in a four-person household (park employee housing) located in the village of Kulczyn in Polesie National Park (PNP) in Poland. The wastewater from the buildings was discharged to a hybrid constructed wetland integrated into a closed-loop water system. As part of the study, seasonal, weekly, and daily changes in water consumption and the amount of water used to flush the toilets were determined over a period of one year. It was shown that the average daily water consumption in the entire house was 437 L/d, or 109 L/p/d (litres/person/day). The average daily water consumption per capita was, therefore, similar to that reported for Poland by the European Commission and much lower than that reported for Western European countries (150–250 L/p/d). The highest water withdrawals were recorded in the spring season (March–May) at 117–122 L/p/d, and the lowest in the holiday month of July—88 L/p/d. The highest water consumption levels during the week were recorded on Saturdays—an average of 136 L/p/d, and the lowest on Wednesdays—an average of 92 L/p/d. During the 24 h of a day, the highest water withdrawals were observed late in the evening (10–11 pm) and periodically in the morning (around 10 am), on weekends, and during the holiday period (July and August). It was shown that the amount of water used to flush toilets represented on average about 20% of the total amount of water consumed. This indicates that approximately 88 L/d of water was used to flush the toilets in the homestead under study.

Published: September 2023

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest challenges to public health and ecological safety in the 21st century. Urban wastewater treatment plants (UWTPs), as reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), simultaneously contain a wide variety of chemical pollutants. The review introduces the actual concentration levels and the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance drivers (ARDs) in UWTPs, including antibiotics, heavy metals, disinfectants, cosmetics and personal care products, non-antibiotic drugs, and microplastics. Moreover, this review emphasizes the importance of approaching the actual activated sludge environment in future research and proposes future directions.

Published: September 2023

The current project aimed at examining the effect of the enrichment of commercial seed oils with waste orange peel (WOP) extracts on their polyphenolic profiles and resistance against oxidation. Polyphenol-containing WOP extracts were produced using a novel combination of ethanol and triacetin, and they were incorporated into seed oils (sunflower, soybean, corn oil), at a level of 36.87 mg per kg of oil. The oils were then stored at 60 °C, for 58 days. By performing a Rancimat test, it was shown that enrichment of sunflower, soybean, and corn oils with WOP extracts did not provoke any prooxidant effects, but, to the contrary, exerted an antioxidant action, with protection factors varying from 1.01 to 1.61. Furthermore, in all cases examined, it was demonstrated that, during the storage period, the stabilizing effect of WOP extract against oxidation was comparable to that observed in oil samples containing 200 mg BHT per kg oil. This outcome was ascertained by measuring the onset of peroxide value, thiobarbituric-acid-reactive substances, and the TOTOX value. Furthermore, it was revealed that the Trolox-equivalent antiradical activity of the enriched oils exhibited a decline at the end of the examination period, a fact most probably attributed to the depletion of the antioxidants occurring in the oils. It was concluded that the method proposed might be a means of stabilizing commercial seed oils against oxidation, and of enhancing their nutritional value by enriching them with natural polyphenols.
Online Multiple Object Tracking Using Min-Cost Flow on Temporal Window for Autonomous Driving
Authors: Wei Hongjian , Huang Yingping , Zhang Qian , Guo Zhiyang
Published: September 2023

Multiple object tracking (MOT), as a core technology for environment perception in autonomous driving, has attracted attention from researchers. Combing the advantages of batch global optimization, we present a novel online MOT framework for autonomous driving, consisting of feature extraction and data association on a temporal window. In the feature extraction stage, we design a three-channel appearance feature extraction network based on metric learning by using ResNet50 as the backbone network and the triplet loss function and employ a Kalman Filter with a constant acceleration motion model to optimize and predict the object bounding box information, so as to obtain reliable and discriminative object representation features. For data association, to reduce the ID switches, the min-cost flow of global association is introduced within the temporal window composed of consecutive multi-frame images. The trajectories within the temporal window are divided into two categories, active trajectories and inactive trajectories, and the appearance, motion affinities between each category of trajectories, and detections are calculated, respectively. Based on this, a sparse affinity network is constructed, and the data association is achieved using the min-cost flow problem of the network. Qualitative experimental results on KITTI MOT public benchmark dataset and real-world campus scenario sequences validate the effectiveness and robustness of our method. Compared with the homogeneous, vision-based MOT methods, quantitative experimental results demonstrate that our method has competitive advantages in terms of higher order tracking accuracy, association accuracy, and ID switches.
Síntese: considerações sobre rap, filosofia e religião
Authors: Carvalho Rocha Bruno
Published: September 2023

O rap é parte de uma tradição musical afro-diaspórica, responsável em organizar lutas sociais, identidades culturais e saberes diversos. A religião, como parte da experiência cotidiana, de afirmação e (re)invenção de comunidades negras e periféricas, proporciona um conjunto de elementos, imagens e símbolos que permeiam diversas narrativas do ritmo e da poesia. Nesse contexto, o rap e a religião apresentam-se como discursos complexos da vida social, subjetiva e estética dos sujeitos; por meio desses elementos a condição humana é pensada, problematizada e sua religiosidade colocada em perspectiva. Através do Síntese, grupo de rap do interior de São Paulo, este artigo tem como objetivo refletir aspectos da religião como parte fundamental de um complexo saber filosófico articulado pelo rap.

Published: September 2023

A comunidade fictícia de Avonlea, no campo canadense, permite pensar sobre diversas questões que envolvem as práticas de religiosidade e sociabilidade no campo. A nova moradora, Anne, adotada por uma respeitada família, os Cuthbert, traz questionamentos sobre os embates entre as contradições do cotidiano da religiosidade em Avonlea, que ao mesmo tempo abrem possibilidades para pensar sobre o papel social que a igreja ocupa nas comunidades rurais, bem como sua inter-relação com práticas de sociabilidade. Ao lançar um olhar etnográfico sobre a obra fica evidenciado que Anne transforma a comunidade e é transformada por ela, pois sua criatividade e reflexão trazem problematizações importantes para pensar a religiosidade no campo a partir de uma obra consagrada na literatura universal.
Formando sentidos para a devoção: o trabalho acústico no worship
Authors: De Aguiar Taylor , Costa Lopes Artur
Published: September 2023

Para compreender transformações recentes no panorama acústico cristão brasileiro, empreendemos uma pesquisa etnográfica nos cultos da Brasa Church, grupo de jovens da Igreja Batista Brasa, em Porto Alegre, RS, e nos ritos da Igreja Católica de Santana, em Duque de Caxias, RJ. Atribuímos centralidade ao worship, tendência de música e culto estabelecida diferencialmente nesses dois espaços rituais, e às mediações entre estética, corporalidade e acústica que se articulam em ambos, configurando o worship como uma forma sensorial. Objetivamos explorar as contribuições de uma antropologia sensorial para analisar a construção do trabalho acústico no worship, enfatizando a mobilização de sensações corporais e as similaridades e diferenças que caracterizam essa forma devocional nos dois contextos em tela.

fobia e o fascismo:
Authors: Almeida Patrick
Published: September 2023

O presente artigo pretende ser uma contribuição a uma perspectiva de leitura que aproxime a reflexão crítica de Walter Benjamin e a teoria psicanalítica. Parte-se aqui de um quadro sintomático apontado por Benjamin, a saber, na contradição entre meios técnicos e fins sociais, próprio da sociedade capitalista, quadro que tem na guerra sua resultante e forma perversa de resolução, mas que, no entanto, abrange um conjunto de fatores e vetores que funcionam de modo ratificador das relações de propriedade e de produção dadas. Os delineamentos e implicações desse quadro terão seu tratamento e abordagem centrados num conjunto de textos da década de 30 da produção de Benjamin. Pelo lado da Psicanálise, trata-se de, com base na psicopatologia da fobia, tanto a que se apresenta na compreensão basilar de Freud, estabelecida no caso Hans, quanto na reinterpretação lacaniana da matéria, construir uma chave de leitura da teoria crítica de Benjamin, por meio da qual se abra um campo de ressonâncias e de solidariedades interpretativas entre ambos os horizontes teóricos.
Zoroastrismo esculpido na fôrma monoteísta
Authors: Claudiano Martins Gustavo
Published: September 2023

O objetivo do artigo é demonstrar como a utilização de um conceito para compreensão de um evento histórico, nesse caso o zoroastrismo, pode muitas vezes deturpar tanto o conceito quanto a história e, para além disso, modificar a própria existência das sociedades analisadas a partir dessa noção. A partir de levantamento bibliográfico e análise hermenêutica, demonstrou-se que para entender a história social do zoroastrismo é preciso compreender a história social do termo "monoteísmo". Isso porque o uso da concepção de monoteísmo para entender o zoroastrismo provocou associações equivocadas entre o monoteísmo judaico — movimento do qual se depreende o próprio conceito — e o mazdaísmo.
Música, conversão e ativismo entre os evangélicos
Authors: Leitao Pinheiro Márcia
Published: September 2023

Resumo:

No meio evangélico, diferentes atores têm focalizado a música para atuarem entre as juventudes pobres e periféricas e entre aquelas/es que se voltam à defesa da diversidade. Considerando a atividade musical como relevante no meio evangélico, busco, neste artigo, a partir de pesquisa qualitativa, apresentar as possibilidades da atividade musical. A conversão é uma delas, haja vista a música gospel, que é registrada no país desde os anos de 1980. Porém, outra se caracteriza pela reflexão acerca do racismo e do gênero, expressando uma concepção e prática religiosa. Ambas iniciativas musicais dialogam com o conservadorismo religioso, seja inserindo outras modalidades sonoras, seja marcando reflexões acerca das desigualdades. Em geral, elas terminam por favorecer tensões públicas relacionadas com posicionamentos acerca das fronteiras religiosas. Nesse caso, aquela modalidade voltada à religiosidade contextualizada explicita articulações com um cenário caracterizado pelo uso de categorias correntes em movimentos sociais, sobretudo ao problematizar questões de raça e gênero. Isso caracteriza um posicionamento sobre minorias e ainda coopera para a compreensão da diversidade do meio evangélico no país.

The Body-Mind Practices and New Media Technologies: Two Taiwanese Walking Pilgrimages
Authors: Chang Hsun
Published: September 2023

Taking two long-distance walking pilgrimages (Dajia 大甲 and Baishatun 白沙 屯) held annually in Taiwan as an example, this article discusses how bodily techniques and material technologies engender a sense of sacredness through bodily experience during a walking pilgrimage. “Bodily techniques” include methods of physical action, walking meditation, mental concentration, reduction in logical thinking and discrimination, sharpening of the senses, and mental reset, etc. “Material technologies” include public transport, infrastructure, printing methods, and digital media technologies, etc. The first part of the article emphasizes the differences between urban and rural pilgrims concerning different body-mind practices. The second part focuses on the new media technologies shared by both the modernized Dajia and the traditional Baishatun pilgrimages. From these two pilgrimages we can see that, while technologies do not impede the emergence of a sense of sacrednesss, overall bodily techniques play a greater role in engendering a sense of sacredness than media technologies.

Bu çalışma Karayipler Topluluğu (CARICOM) ve Güney Afrika Kalkınma Topluluğu (SADC) örgütlerinin, COVID-19 (koronavirüs hastalığı) salgınıyla mücadele ve kriz yönetimi süreçlerinde gerçekleştirdikleri faaliyetleri ortaya koymakta ve karşılaştırmalı şekilde analiz etmektedir. COVID-19 salgınına ilişkin kriz yönetim süreçleri, çeşitli düzeyde gerçekleştirilen eylemlerle sürdürülmüştür. Bölgesel düzey, salgınla mücadelenin ele alındığı düzeylerden biridir. Bu hususta bölgesel örgütler, salgına karşı kendi bölgelerinin direncini güçlendirmeye ve salgının toplumlar üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerini azaltmaya ilişkin faaliyetlerde bulunmuştur. Bu kapsamda salgın döneminde, üyelik kompozisyonu açısından büyük ölçüde gelişmekte olan devletlerin üye olduğu CARICOM ve SADC, bulundukları bölgelerin ekonomik ve coğrafi açıdan afet ve krizlerle mücadele konusundaki kısıtlarına rağmen, bölgesel düzeyde ortak politikaların belirlenmesi ve toplumların virüse karşı dayanımının artırılmasına ilişkin girişimler gerçekleştirmiştir. Bu bağlamda ‘CARICOM ve SADC, COVID-19 salgını döneminde ne tür faaliyetlerde bulunmuştur’ ve ‘CARICOM ve SADC’nin COVID-19 sağlık krizinin bölgesel düzeyde yönetişimine ilişkin faaliyetlerini belirleyen değişkenler nelerdir’ soruları, sağlıkla ilgili kriz dönemlerinde iki örgütün bölgesel yönetişim bakımından rolünü anlayabilmek açısından anlamlı hâle gelmektedir. Çalışma yukarıda belirtilen sorulara, sağlık ile bölgeselcilik arasındaki ilişki bağlamında yanıt aramaktadır.

This study was conducted in 2021 and 2022 cropping season at the Teaching and Research farm Department of Crop Science and Horticulture, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam, Anambra State. The aim was to determine the effect of selected weed control methods on selected maize cultivars (Landraces). It was laid out as a 3x4 factorial combination in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The main factor consisted of maize landraces (Oka bende, Oka Abakaliki and Oka Nsukka) while the sub-factor were four weed control methods (weedy-check, hoe weeding, pre-emergence, and post-emergence herbicide application). Data were collected on the germination percentage (at 5DAS and 8DAS), growth (plant height, stem girth and leaf area) and yield parameters. Data collected was subjected to data analysis of variance (ANOVA), and significant mean were separated using Fisher’s Least Significant Difference. The highest number of percentage seed germination was observed in Oka Bende (92.2% at 5DAS) and Oka Abakaliki (99.0% at 8DAS). The tallest plants obtained in Oka Bende (249.0 cm), leaf area and plant girth is highest in Oka Nsukka. The Oka Abakiliki gave the highest percent grain weight (14.6 kg) followed by Oka Bende (14.4 kg). Application of pre-emergence herbicides indicated a more superior weed control effect when compared with the other selected weed control methods.

This study examined the assessment of the adoption of agrochemicals among Yam farmers in Wukari Local Government Area, Taraba State, Nigeria. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain information from a purposefully selected sample of 110 yam farmers from Wukari LGA of Taraba State, Nigeria. Data were analyzed using Descriptive Statistics (frequency, percentage) and inferential statistics (Anova) (F.test). The study found that, according to the socio-economic characteristics of yam farmers in the study area, a greater percentage (83% of them) fell between age ranges of less than 50 years. Male-dominated yam farming in the study area had 63%; 51% were married. 98% had one form of education or another. A greater percentage, 83%, was found to have more than 5 years of farming experience. The result indicates that the majority of the respondents depend on friends and co-farmers as their sources of information. Findings revealed that the majority were aware of the common agrochemicals used in the study area. In determining the Level of adoption of agrochemicals by yam farmers in the study area, the ANOVA model gave the best fit to the data. The result indicates that 5.433 of the F-value is positive and is significant at the 1% level of significance. It can be concluded that the maximum number of farmers in the study area were aware of agrochemicals, and there is also no significant difference in the level of adoption of agrochemicals between and within the various wards. In line with the findings of the study, the following recommendations are put forward: Since the cost of agrochemicals is high during the planting season, I recommend that farmers purchase agrochemicals before the planting season. It’s also recommended that farmers in the study area should pay for extension services so they can be taught on the need to adopt agrochemicals. Furthermore, cooperative societies should help make agrochemicals available at a subsidy rate for their members.

This study aimed to determine the response of oxygen supplementation during penetration to hatching weight and body weight gain in Mojosari. The sample used was 300 fertile eggs of Mojosari ducks. Sampling by purposive sampling. The research method was an experiment with a completely randomized design with 3 x 2 factorial patterns and five repetitions. The first factor was Oxygen (O2) supplementation which consisted of three levels, namely without O2 supplementation (A1), O2 supplementation in incubators up to 21% (A2) levels, O2 supplementation in incubators up to 25% (A3) levels. In comparison, the second factor was the time of O2 supplementation, which consists of two variations: the first to the 2nd day and the 25th day until hatching (B1) and the 25th day until hatching (B2). Variables considered include hatch weight and weight gain. The results showed a significant (p < 0.01) interaction between O2 supplementation level and time. Their interactions responded to the hatching weight and weight gain of Mojosari ducks in the starter period. The highest hatching weight was in the treatment without supplementation (control), while the highest body weight gain was in the O2 supplementation treatment, up to 21% given on the first, second, and 25th day until hatching.

Cowpea Vigna unguiculata L. Walpers (Fabaceae) is one of the main seed legumes produced and consumed in the world and particularly in West Africa precisely in Mali. In Mali, the cultivation of sorghum and cowpea in association occupies an important place in agriculture and contributes to achieving food and nutritional security in the country. Cowpea is an important source of vegetable protein. This crop is faced with many biotic (insects) and abiotic (drought) problems. The attack of pests (insects) can completely reduce the production of cowpea. Most farmers use chemicals to reduce these pests. While these chemicals (insecticides) have a negative impact on human health and that of the ecosystem. Aphids (Aphis craccivora) and Marucas (Maruca vitrata) can cause yield losses of up to 80%. Finding alternatives to synthetic pesticides is therefore a major challenge for the design of cropping systems. The study was carried out at the Sotuba agronomic research station for two years. Three varieties of cowpea (Sangaranka, djiguifa and Ghana Shoba) were planted in split plot in pure culture and in association with sorghum (Tiandougou coura). Three (3) products (Azadiracta indica and Cassia nigricans leaf, Carapa procera oil) and two controls (optimal K and without treatment) were used against Aphis craccivora and Maruca vitrata of cowpea. Observations focused on the number of Maruca vitrata and Aphis craccivora colonies before and after each treatment, the weight (pod, grain, haulm). The data was analyzed with GENSTAT Release 12.1 of the 12th edition of 2012. Zarama(Cassia nigricans) extract was the most effective among the others after the first treatment on Aphis and Maruca with a count average of 1.44 and 1.33 respectively of these two insects. The best grain yield was recorded in the same Sangaraka variety (1623 kg.ha-1) by treatment with Neem extract (Azadiracta indica), i.e. an increase of 8.1%.
