Letramentos digitais na comunidade acadêmica da UEMA
Authors: Santana Fabíola de Jesus Soares , Cavalcante Walisson Paz
Published: February 2023

O crescente surgimento de novas tecnologias tem impactado o processo de ensino/aprendizagem, com a consequente exigência de atendimento a um paradigma ou modalidade de letramento, que tem sido chamado de letramento digital, e a necessidade de incorporação dessas tecnologias por parte de alunos e professores. Pretende-se, nesta pesquisa, abordar quais os imperativos internos e externos para incorporação de tecnologias digitais no processo de aquisição dos letramentos digitais dos docentes dos cursos de Letras da Universidade Estadual do Maranhão. O principal objetivo é verificar quais as condições dos docentes dos cursos de Letras da Universidade Estadual do Maranhão-UEMA quanto às variáveis de reconhecimento demandadas pelos letramentos digitais, segundo Dudeney; Hocly; Pegrum (2016). Outros objetivos são: identificar as necessidades decorrentes das condições em que os docentes estão submetidos com a finalidade de melhoria das suas competências e letramentos digitais, bem como do processo integrativo das Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação (TDICs) nas práticas pedagógicas desses docentes. Dentro dos referenciais teóricos explorados, ressaltamos a proposta de Letramentos Digitais, de Dudeney, Hockly e Pegrum (2016), que possibilita observar as variáveis necessárias no processo de incorporação das tecnologias digitais na educação. Realizou-se um levantamento com 77(setenta e sete) docentes dos cursos de Letras da UEMA, considerando os objetivos da pesquisa, a partir da aplicação de um questionário com 16 (dezesseis) questões do tipo fechadas e 01(uma ) aberta. Os resultados apontam para as seguintes conclusões: as condições apresentadas, predominantemente nas dezesseis questões do tipo fechada, demonstram um perfil docente que reconhece  e incorpora as demandas necessárias para proporcionar um ambiente educacional fértil para o desenvolvimento dos letramentos digitais. Além disso, a única questão de caráter aberto permitiu identificar as seguintes necessidades:  formações voltadas aos usos mais críticos e transformativos das TDICs; cultivo de um ensino personalizado nos processos formativos dos docentes e uma estrutura formativa prática focada em revisões críticas dos fazeres pedagógicos dos docentes.
retórica de Rubem Braga
Authors: Fonseca Helena Miyazaki
Published: February 2023

Este artigo propõe a análise de crônicas de Rubem Braga que abordam, de alguma forma, a figura da mulher. O gênero crônica, com o qual o autor consolidou sua carreira, pode ser entendido como um texto relativamente curto, que trata de questões cotidianas e prioriza a exposição dos fatos. Considerando que o pathos, uma das três provas persuasivas propostas pela Retórica aristotélica, envolve as emoções que devem ser suscitadas pelo orador a partir do discurso a fim de levar o público ao estágio de ação, o objetivo deste estudo é refletir sobre as paixões mais recorrentes despertadas pelo autor em crônicas selecionadas das décadas de 1950 e 1960. Os pressupostos teóricos em que a análise se baseia advêm de estudiosos da Retórica e da Nova Retórica, especialmente de teóricos que abordam as paixões, a saber Aristóteles (2015, 2020) e Meyer (2003), em seu prefácio para a obra Retórica das Paixões.
Explorando os conceitos de modelos de letramento para orientações didáticas de ensino de gramática
Authors: Oliveira Gabriel Zardo de , Oliveira Bruno da Silva
Published: February 2023

Por meio deste estudo, apresentamos propostas pedagógicas embasadas nos modelos de letramento e atividades linguísticas, utilizando as noções dos modelos de letramento autônomo e ideológico (KLEIMAN, 1995; STREET, 2003) e das atividades epilinguísticas e metalinguísticas (PCNs, 1998; TRAVAGLIA, 2001). A partir de uma revisão teórica desses dois campos, elaboramos duas atividades linguísticas que podem servir como orientações pedagógicas a professores de língua portuguesa da educação básica. Nesse sentido, temos como objetivo relacionar os dois modelos de letramento autônomo e ideológico com duas sugestões metodológicas – metalinguística e epilinguística - para o trabalho pedagógico com a gramática nas aulas de língua portuguesa no Ensino Médio. Com isso, pretendemos contrastar as duas atividades junto aos modelos de letramento, mostrando, sob duas óticas distintas, um ensino de gramática taxonômico e outro que analisa criticamente o emprego dos termos nas relações socioculturais. Acreditamos na necessidade de um processo de ensino-aprendizagem epilinguístico de língua portuguesa mais significativo, pautado nas práticas sociais de uso da língua, tomando como base o modelo ideológico de letramento.
Homossexualidade em Herbert Daniel
Authors: Costa Junior José Veranildo Lopes da , Silva Junior Reinaldo Luiz da
Published: February 2023

No Brasil, a década dos anos 1980 caracteriza-se por uma efervescência político-cultural, a partir de eventos importantes, tais como o fim da ditadura cívico-militar, a redemocratização do Estado brasileiro e a epidemia de AIDS. Nessa conjuntura social, Leila Míccoles e Herbert Daniel publicam em coautoria um texto intitulado Jacarés e Lobisomens: um ensaio sobre a homossexualidade (1983), o qual debate, como bem sugere o subtítulo, questões de gênero e sexualidade. Neste artigo, interessa-nos apresentar um exame analítico do primeiro ensaio da obra citada, com o objetivo de problematizar sobre de que modo Herbert Daniel debate a homossexualidade em tempos de autoritarismo, preconceito e estigmas sociais diante da AIDS. Como resultado, notamos que Herbert Daniel traz um conjunto de reflexões que partem da sua própria vivência como homossexual. Além disso, o romancista não busca teorizar – ou se apresentar como um teórico – a homossexualidade, uma vez que abandona discursos científicos e epistemológicos, dando maior importância as suas vivências e reflexões pessoais.

Authors: Machado Julia Rudek , Müller Andréa Correa Paraiso
Published: February 2023

A hora da estrela, último romance de Clarice Lispector, foi publicado em 1977 e configura um marco da literatura brasileira novecentista, ressignificando, através do questionamento da própria escrita, diversas inquietações já colocadas em seus outros textos. A temática social presente ao longo da obra de Lispector aparece nesse livro de maneira muito mais intensa, aliada a uma estrutura narrativa que busca refletir os problemas impostos pela modernidade. Dessa maneira, com apoio na Teoria Literária e na narratologia, bem como em estudos histórico-críticos que tratam da narrativa contemporânea e da fortuna crítica de Clarice Lispector, objetivamos, no presente artigo, analisar a construção e as diferentes vozes que ocupam o espaço narrativo do texto em foco, a fim de relacioná-lo às diversas inovações trazidas ao gênero romance durante o século XX.

The Effectiveness of Using Herb in Traditional Malay Medicine and Healthcare in Central Zone Community, Selangor
Authors: Abdul Aziz Muhammad Hannan , Mohd. Yusoff Ahmad Nasir , Magiman Mohamad Maulana
Published: February 2023

The use of herbs for medicinal purposes is essential. Herbal treatment had a positive impact on human life. Some people are too skeptical and lack confidence in the effectiveness of using herbs for treatment purposes. This situation occurs because the advancement of medical technology and modern medicine is more forward than traditional medicine. Herb-based treatment is still not able to provide traditional medicinal services that are conducive and comprehensive in terms of function, nutrients and comprehensive potential. The focus of this study is to expand knowledge by examining the effectiveness of herbs and treatment in human health care based on the 'Theory of Planned Behaviour' approach. The purpose of the study was to identify the types of herbs, analyze the response to the effectiveness of the use of herbs in health care based on traditional Malay medicinal methods. This research done based on qualitative and quantitative methods including literature review, library research, questionnaires and interviews. The results showed that traditional Malay medicine is a complete herbal treatment method and has strong fundamental values and is necessary in the science of medicine. Studies have also found the effectiveness of herbs in treating various types of physical and spiritual ailments. The findings proved that the use of various herbal plants is still relevant to treat diseases, contributing in the field of medical science just like existing modern medicine, especially in the issue of health care and a prosperous human life.

Empirical Bayes estimation of the size of a closed population using photo-identification data
Authors: Da-Silva Cibele Queiroz , Tiburcio Jacqueline Domingues
Published: February 2023

Photo-ID data are broadly used for estimating animal abundance using capture-recapture models. Animals that do not possess either natural or acquired marks sufficient to allow re-identification are called unmarked, and when a substantial part of the population is composed of such individuals, the classical models described in the literature do not apply. In this paper an Empirical Bayes capture-recapture analysis for dealing with the estimation of the capture probabilities and the estimation of abundance N for populations that include unmarked individuals is presented. Using a Gibbs sampling approach, Monte Carlo estimates for the posterior distribution of N were obtained. The Empirical Bayes approach was found to improve precision in the estimation of N, compared to the results obtained using other Bayesian methods. Additionally, when the population included a very large number of unmarked individuals, inferences for N obtained using the Empirical Bayes approach were definitely superior to those obtained using any of the vague beta priors tested. The methodology was applied to bowhead whale data for the 1985 and 1986 photo-ID surveys.
Cetacean strandings in San Diego County, California, USA: 1851–2008
Authors: Danil Kerri , Chivers Susan J. , Henshaw Mike D. , Thieleking Janet L. , Daniels Risa , St. Leger Judy A.
Published: February 2023

There were 717 cetacean strandings recorded in San Diego County, California, USA between 1851 and 2008. These strandings comprised 18 odontocete and 6 mysticete species. Common dolphins (both the short-beaked (Delphinus delphis) and long-beaked common dolphin (D. capensis)) were the most commonly stranded cetacean species (43.2%), followed by bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) (16.5%), gray whales (Eschrictius robustus) (11.0%), and Pacific white-sided dolphins (Lagenorhyncus obliquidens) (7.0%). A higher number of strandings was observed in the La Jolla and Coronado/Imperial Beach areas, which likely reflects the influence of coastal protrusions in those regions. Strandings of bottlenose dolphin neonates suggests their calving season extends from May to September. Strandings of common dolphin species peaked in the early- to mid-1970s and in the late-1990s to 2008, coincident with cool oceanographic regimes. In addition, extralimital strandings of harbour porpoises and temporal changes in stranding rates of Dall’s porpoises (Phocoenoides dalli) and short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) may have been associated with changes in oceanographic conditions. Evidence of human interaction in strandings included entanglements, boat strikes, shootings and harpooning. Overall, the stranding record largely reflected the species composition of the Southern California Bight and provided confirmation for presence of cryptic species not previously recorded by aerial and ship surveys.
An integrated data collection system for line transect surveys
Authors: Gillespie Douglas , Leaper Russell , Gordon Jonathan , Macleod Kelly
Published: February 2023

A computer based system for the collection of line transect survey data is described. The primary goals of the system were to measure (rather than estimate) distances and angles wherever possible, to provide accurate time-stamps for surfacing events as an aid to duplicate identification and to facilitate accurate data collection by using computers to automate data collection wherever possible. Distance and angle measurements were made using established photogrammetric techniques. Collection of photogrammetric data from video was automated and included a system of data buffering so that several seconds of data prior to each observer sighting could be captured. An additional goal of the system was to eliminate the need for post-cruise data entry and validation through the use of on-board data validation software. The system was successfully used during the 2005 SCANS-II and the 2007 CODA surveys.
Sjogren's Syndrome: Multidisciplinary Approach to Diagnosis and Management
Authors: Victor Dania
Published: February 2023

Purpose: Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic and progressive multisystem autoimmune disease typically managed by rheumatologists. Diagnostic delays are common, due in large part to the non-specific and variable nature of SS symptoms and the slow progression of disease.

Methodology: This article reviews current understanding of the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of Sjögren's syndrome and its attendant ocular manifestation. Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the exocrine glands with multiple non exocrine features. It is found predominantly in middle-aged women but exists throughout the population. The diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome can be challenging because the cardinal sicca symptoms may be subclinical or attributed to other causes, such as medications or aging. Differential diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome can be confounded by the multiple exocrine manifestations in the mouth, eyes, ears, nose, skin, vagina, and respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Characteristics of SS are dry eye and dry mouth, which are typically the earliest presenting complaints, eye care clinicians such as the optometrists and dental professionals are often the first point of medical contact and can provide critical collaboration with rheumatologists to facilitate both timely diagnosis and ongoing care of patients with SS.

Findings: Current diagnostic criteria advocated by the American College of Rheumatology are predicated on the presence of signs/symptoms suggestive of SS along with at least two objective factors such as traditional biomarker positivity, salivary gland biopsy findings, and/or presence of keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Timely diagnosis of SS requires appropriate clinical vigilance for potential SS symptoms, referral and collaborative communication among rheumatology, optometrists, ophthalmology, and oral care professions.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: It is concluded that optometrists can now identify Sjogren’s patients earlier in their dry eye population with a new advanced diagnostic test Sjo,the laboratory test designed for early detection of Sjogren’s syndrome, has been available from Nicox for use by eye care professionals since November,2013. Optometrists have a role to play in the management of ocular manifestations of Sjogren’s syndrome. Such symptoms can lead to discomfort, blurred vision, and visual fatigue if not attended to immediately.

For people with immune system disorder, inflammation of tear-secreting glands reduces tear production, resulting in chronic dry eyes. Prescription eye drops such as Tears Naturale, Cyclosporine (Restasis) or Lifetegrast(Xiidra) may be recommended by the eye doctor if you have moderate to severe dry eyes.
Prevalence of Overweight and Obesity and its Associated Factors among Medical Students: A Case of Copperbelt University School of Medicine, Ndola, Zambia
Authors: Chilufya Stella
Published: February 2023

Purpose: Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. They are a complex chronic global disease affecting people worldwide across all ages, sexes, ethnicities and nationalities. In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults aged 18 years and older were overweight. Of these over 650 million adults were obese, 39% of adults aged 18 years and over (39% of men and 40% of women) were obese. Once considered a high – income country problem, overweight and obesity are now on the rise in low- and middle – income countries, particularly in urban settings. In Africa, obesity and overweight has been attributed to demographic and nutritional changes that have resulted from urbanization and the adoption of a western lifestyle which include lack of exercises and changes in dietary intake

The objective of the study is to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity and its associated factors among medical students from Michael Chilufya Sata Copperbelt University School of medicine, Ndola, Zambia.

Methodology: A descriptive, quantitative cross – sectional study, which will use a standardized, structured self – administered questionnaire to survey the prevalence of overweight and obesity among medical students from Michael Chilufya Sata Copperbelt University School of medicine, Ndola, Zambia. 384 medical students will be allowed to participate in the study and data collected will be analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS for windows).

Findings: found a low prevalence of overweight and obesity among medical students at Ndola's copper-belt university. Male participants had a significantly higher prevalence than female participants, and most significant risk factor where associated with male student this might have been due to the disproportion in numbers between the male and female participants.

Unique Contribution to Theory Practice and Policy: The study indicates a need for behaviour modification related to enhance lifestyle through increased physical activity and better nutritional practices among medical students.
A comparative study of lung functions in non-smoker COPD patients from various localities with healthy subjects
Authors: Dr. Nilaykumar A. Kapadia , Dr. Jwalit J. Mehta
Published: February 2023

Background & Objectives: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the illness with airflow obstruction caused by emphysema, chronic bronchitis, or a combination of both the disorders. It is the third leading cause of death worldwide. Between 20 and 40% of all COPD patients across the globe are never smokers. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) in non-smoker COPD patients and compare their results with normal healthy subjects. The study also intended to check the variations in lung function of COPD patients living in urban & rural areas.

Materials & Methods: The study was conducted by performing PFTs in 50 non-smoker COPD patients (28 from urban & 22 from rural areas) & comparing them with 50 non-smoker healthy subjects of same age group excluding ex-smokers. Various parameters of PFTs like FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEFR & MVV were assessed & compared. For statistical data analysis unpaired t-Test was applied.

Results: The mean values of PFT parameters such as FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEFR & MVV are very significantly differed between COPD patients & healthy subjects (p<0.01). Although the data is not statistically significant between total COPD patients, urban & rural COPD patients, mean values of above PFT parameters are higher in total COPD patients than urban while higher in rural compared to total COPD patients (p>0.05). The mean values of above PFT parameters are not significant statistically between urban & rural COPD patients (p>0.05).

Conclusion: The study indicates that as compared to normal subjects, in patients of COPD there is great reduction in mean values for FVC, FEV1, PEFR, FEV1/FVC%, & MVV irrespective of their residing location which is suggestive of an increase air way obstruction with reduced values of various PFT parameters. The study also shows that there is no significant difference in mean values of various parameters between urban & rural areas.
Occurrence of Toxinogenic Fungi in Livestock Feeds in Eastern Algeria
Authors: Redouane-Salah Sara , Messaï Ahmed
Published: February 2023

Background: The ubiquitous nature of molds, their ability to colonize diverse substrates, and the lack of effective control measures have contributed to the high incidences of molds and mycotoxin contamination in foods and feeds. These dangerous secondary metabolites enter the food chain in the field, during storage, or later.

Material and Methods: A total of 40 livestock feed samples were randomly collected from ten farms in eastern Algeria. The ten types of analyzed feed were: wheat bran, dried bread, alfalfa, straw, oat hay, barley, date scraps, grass silage, corn silage, and concentrate.

Results and Discussion: Results show that all the samples were contaminated with different species of fungi. A total of 248 fungal strains were isolated. In terms of frequency, the genus Aspergillus was the most frequent fungi recovered from 32 samples (80%) between all feeds studied, followed by the genus Penicillium recovered from 31 samples (77.5%).

Conclusion: As a preventive measure, appropriate agricultural practices could provide unfavorable conditions for the development of fungi and toxinogenesis. However, the installation of a mycotoxins-monitoring program may be necessary to protect animals' and consumers' health.

RESPOSTAS FISIOLÓGICAS DA FREQUÊNCIA CARDÍACA NO TREINAMENTO DA RESISTÊNCIA ESPECÍFICA USANDO JOGOS REDUZIDOS CONDICIONANTES NO BASQUETEBOL
Authors: Vretaros Adriano
Published: February 2023

Uma estratégia pedagógica eficiente para desenvolver a resistência específica nos esportes coletivos é o uso dos jogos reduzidos condicionantes. Isto posto, o objetivo deste estudo é descrever as respostas fisiológicas da frequência cardíaca no treinamento da resistência específica usando jogos reduzidos condicionantes no basquetebol. Com essa premissa, foram consultadas cinco bases de dados eletrônicas (PubMed, Google Scholar, Scielo, MEDLINE e LILACS) sendo eleitos um total de 61 estudos publicados que abordavam acerca do comportamento da frequência cardíaca nas sessões de treinamento da resistência específica com jogos reduzidos e, 16 livros texto da área de fisiologia do exercício e teoria do treinamento desportivo. Os jogos reduzidos condicionantes geram uma estimulação superior a outros métodos da resistência, pois conseguem trabalhar numa única atividade os aspectos técnico-táticos e o condicionamento físico dos basquetebolistas. Uma forma de controle da carga interna durante os jogos reduzidos é o monitoramento sistemático dos indicadores da frequência cardíaca. Todavia, a resposta da frequência cardíaca nos jogos reduzidos depende da interrelação correta dos componentes modificáveis (tamanho da quadra, número de jogadores envolvidos, regras adotadas, regime metabólico solicitado e, razão esforço-pausa). Mudanças em um ou mais destes componentes modificáveis podem induzir a alterações na intensidade das cargas. Atrelado a isto, as pesquisas adotam protocolos experimentais distintos e categorias competitivas variadas dificultando comparações interpretativas. Outro detalhe importante é que o gênero e as funções táticas dos jogadores interferem nesses resultados. Enfim, são apresentadas sugestões operacionais no momento de configurar o treinamento da resistência específica com jogos reduzidos no basquetebol.

Farmers may advance their endeavours by using e-Farming as a step. This will help all farmers who need a clear motivation for their plant products as well as end users who need a specific price for each item. In addition to helping them with their daily routine, this will also help less fortunate individuals by providing food for those who are in need. In order to cover the NGO's basic needs while also preventing food waste, other government-based NGO's collaborate with them to get in touch with people who have leftover food that they recently squandered. The system's or application's goal is to create an area where all experts have been removed and the value of green space has been assessed. Finally, we clearly accommodate troubled people through a non-benefit affiliation by using wasted food. Therefore, this system can help end-client thing sureness while similarly spreading out a trust association among purchasers and producers. The remainder of the food is given to the persecuted, NGOs, and wastage/extra food is disposed of in various abilities.

Establishment of the ʿAbbāsid Caliphate
Authors: Kamali Maryam
Published: February 2023

The ʿAbbāsid Caliphate was a reproduction of the Umayyad Caliphate,
which tried to rule with the same monopolistic power. After using the
power of Iranian amirs and dāʿies, the ʿAbbāsids began their efforts
to consolidate power by fomenting rivalry between the dāʿies and
eliminating them, including Abu Moslem, whose name was associated
with Khorāsān and the victory of the ʿAbbāsids. The circle of Iranians’
connection with the ʿAbbāsid power framework continued with the
Barmakids’ presence in the caliph’s court. The ʿAbbāsids interpreted
the presence of the bureaucrats as a division of power and therefore
eliminated the Barmakids. However, it provided the ground for Khorāsān’s
independence in the long run. The Khorāsān riots were the first result
of the massacre of the Barmakids.

resources not from the caliph’s approval but military power, posed a
severe challenge to the legitimacy of the ʿAbbāsid Caliphate and provided
the prelude to greater independence for the subsequent Iranian dynasties.
Yaʿqub-e Leys came to power when he had neither received a mandate
from the caliph nor could rely on his genealogy to hope for the attention
of the people of Sistān and other parts of Iran. Instead, Yaʿqub managed
the power in Sistān’s military, including the ʿAyyārs and the Khwārejites.
However, his defeat against the ʿAbbāsids in Deyr al-ʿĀqul and then his
brother ʿAmr’s defeat against the Sāmānids turned the Ghaznavid rule
into a local but ineffective dynasty in the region’s power structure.
The Khwārazmshāhi Dynasty:
Emerging from the Saljuq Structure
Authors: Kamali Maryam
Published: February 2023

The Khwārazmshāhi used the Saljuq structural resources to transform
their local dynasty into an empire. The lack of effective bureaucracy
widened the gap in the power structure between Soltān Mohammad
and his mother, Tarkān Khātun. The heterogeneity of the goals of the
Khwārazmshāhi and the ʿAbbāsid Caliphate brought the power structures
of the caliphate and the soltānate face to face. The unending expansionist
policies of the Khwārazmshāhis in the eastern territories made them
neighbors with the Mongols, who were far more militarily powerful than
the Khwārazmshāhis. Soltān Mohammad’s rapid and hasty escape fastened
the process of these conquests and with the death of his son, Soltān Jalāl
al-Din, the Khwārazmshāhi ended in Iran.

The current study evaluated the effect of feeding clove (Syzygium aromaticum) as a natural additive on productive performance, digestibility and nutritive value, antioxidant enzymes activities, and immune response of growing rabbits. A total of 48 New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits aged 6 weeks were randomly allocated to 4 groups (12 rabbits/group). Clove buds powder (CLP) was supplemented at 0.5, 1, and 1.5% of basal diet. Four tested diets formulated to contain basal diet without CLP (treatment 1, T1), 0.5% CLP (T2), 1% CLP (T3), and 1.5% CLP (T4). The animals were provided pelleted diets and fresh water ad libitum throughout the experimental period. The rabbits fed diets containing CLP improved FCR (P=0.007) and consumed (P<0.0001) less than those fed control group. The diet containing 1.5% CLP had the best feed conversion ratio (FCR) value (P<0.05). No significant differences were observed among experimental groups in all nutrients digestibility except CP digestibility significantly (P=0.0261) increased with 0.5 and 1% CLP groups compared to control group. Blood total lipid (TL) was significantly decreased (P<0.009) with increasing the dietary level of CLP, (being 379.17 and 361.11 mg/dl for 1% and 1.5% CLP groups vs. 470.84 for control group). The catalase and total antioxidant capacity (TAOC) concentrations significantly (P<0.0001) increased with CLP groups compared to control group. The immunoglobulins titres (IgG and IgM) improved (P>0.05) with rabbits fed CLP diets when compared to those fed the control diet. In conclusion, using CLP as an alternative feed additive in rabbit’s diets up to 1.5% without any adverse effect on productive performance and vital activities. The CLP inclusion in rabbit diets decreased feed intake (FI), improved FCR and increased profitability, moreover, had a positive effect on antioxidant enzyme activity and immunity (IgG and IgM) titres.

Quail (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) is one of the commercial poultry that is being developed and produced more frequently. Various lighting programs (pre-hatching) on Aves have been carried out to provide an increased biological response, including growth, reproduction, and productivity. The addition of light or the lighting program is also a factor in the growth of Aves which directly plays a role in controlling various physiological processes. The purpose of this study was to review embryogenesis development of the Quail ovary under various lighting conditions. A literature search was carried out systematically through the PubMed, NCBI, and Google Scholar databases using keywords, namely, "embryogenesis development, ovary, quail light color, and lighting”. The articles obtained were selected based on these keywords by setting several inclusion criteria. Papers that do not meet the inclusion criteria are eliminated, and articles that meet the criteria will be analyzed to obtain data. Based on the search results in the databases using predetermined keywords, 500 articles were obtained. All articles were selected based on inclusion criteria and exclusion and obtained as many as 35 articles that met the inclusion criteria. From the results of the research, it can be concluded that giving variations in the colour of lighting for 16 hours affects the development of quail ovaries. Because of the significant effect of lighting and its colour on embryo development, pre-hatch lighting programs should be considered in future studies.

Rice and soybean are two high-demanded grains for human foods and animal feeds. The current study aimed as first time in one of Iraqi region to find genetically modified soybean seed, soybean meal and rice grain samples utilizing the Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter and nopaline synthase (NOS) terminator catalyst like Agrobacterium tumefaciens NOS (ANOS) terminator, in PCR tests. A total of 55 samples of soybeans seed, soybean meal, and rice cereal were collected from the market in Karbala, Iraq. The samples were collected from markets in Karbala city during January-March 2021, and evaluated in the Food Laboratory, College of Al Safwa University of Karbala, Iraq. DNA was isolated from dry vegetable samples. Two genes, including CaMV-35S and NOS terminator, that are routinely used in genetic engineering were employed to evaluate genetically modified crops. The present study revealed CaMV-35S and NOS genes in soybean meals. In conclusion, the obtained results indicated that all rice samples tested with the same primers were genetically unaltered. Whereas, there is genetically alternations in soybean seeds and soybean meal.

The purpose of the study was to determine how Oyo State, Nigerian biosecurity strategies, affected the poultry health management system. The regional data were collected through a planned investigation. The 120 respondents were selected using random and purposeful sampling approaches. The analysis revealed that 43.3% of poultry farmers were between the ages of 31 and 40; the majority were men; 72.5% were married; 37.5% had been in farming for between 11 and 20 years, and 95.5% had one to six children. Most farmers (75.8%) reported that raising poultry was their main source of income; 70.8% stated they got their information from the farmers' association; 95.0% stated burning birds reduced susceptibility to infectious diseases, and nearly all (99.2%) stated keeping foot dips in place stopped the spread of infectious diseases. According to the regression analysis, there is a strong correlation between respondents' age, sex, marital status, agricultural experience, family size, source of income, and adoption of biosecurity methods in the research region. The greatest and most affordable way of infection protection can be found in biosecurity. Without appropriate biosecurity measures, no single disease prevention program will succeed. It is can be concluded that the introduction of additional biosecurity measures could be a significant boost to the prevention and spread of poultry diseases in the study area.

A case of umbilical hernia in a 7-month-old female rabbit was presented to the Surgery Clinic of the Veterinary Faculty, University of Sarajevo. The owner noticed inappetence and lethargy four days before arrival at the clinic. Clinical parameters on physical examination were within the physiological range. Bruxism and lethargy were noted as signs of discomfort due to gas accumulation in colon. A reponible, nonpainful mass in the umbilical scar area was palpated but intestinal peristalsis was not altered. General anesthesia was induced by intramuscular administration of ketamine with medetomidine and maintained with isoflurane. Surgical treatment of hernia included the peritoneal sac dissection and amputation, repositioning of small intestines, and correction of abdominal wall defect. Intraoperative multimodal analgesia approach was used to reduce inhalant anesthesia requirements and to prevent pain-related and stress-related complications. In this case report we described a surgical and veterinary treatment of the reponible umbilical hernia in a rabbit.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different inclusion levels of water hyacinth leaf meal fermented with Aspergillus niger on feed utilization efficiency and growth performance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus L.). Fermented water hyacinth leaf (FWHL) at 0, 10, 20 and 30% inclusion levels were incorporated into four isonitrogenous (35% CP), and isoenergetic (18 KJ g-1 g) test diets. The fishes were stocked in 80 liters aquarium units, in a closed, recirculating indoor system. The diets were fed to triplicate groups of fish fingerlings (1.6 g average body weight) twice a day, at 6% of body weight/day, for three months. The study demonstrated that Nile tilapia fed FWHL at levels 30% had a significant negative impact (P<0.05) on weight gain, specific growth rate, feed utilization efficiency, and whole body composition. But, there were no significant changes between diets supplemented with 10% and 20% FWHL when compared with the control group. Therefore, supplementation of fermented water hyacinth leaf meal to diets of Nile tilapia is recommended up to 20% because it is cheaper than fish meal and corn.
