Authors: Wang Xin , Sun Meng , Wang Chan , Zheng Youning , Cheng Yaying
Published: November 2020

Purpose: To study the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nuclear transcription factor-κBp65 (NF-κBp65) and TGF-1, and their correlation in bronchopulmonary dysplasia in neonatal rats.Methods: Twenty (20) pregnant rats were randomly divided into study and normal groups. Radial alveolar counts were carried out at 2, 8 and 15 days of age. The levels of ROS expression in the lung tissues of the two groups were assayed by ELISA while immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expressions of TGF-β1 and NF-κBp65 in neonatal lung tissues of the two groups. Pearson correlation test was used to analyze correlations amongst ROS, TGF-β1 and NF-κBp65 in the neonatal lung tissues.Results: At days 8 and 9 after birth, radial alveolar count was significantly lower in study rats than in control rats (p < 0.05). Expression levels of ROS, TGF-β1 and NF-κBp65 in study group were markedly raised at days 2, 4 and 8 after birth, relative to control (p < 0.05).Conclusion: The levels of ROS, TGF-β1 and NF-κBp65 in bronchopulmonary dysplasia in neonatal rats are significantly and positively correlated, and are higher than those in normal rats. This provides a scientific basis for development of drugs for bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Published: November 2020

Purpose: To analyze the strategic position of clinical pharmacy education in Saudi Arabia and ensure that it meets the needs of the current industry in the country.Methods: A comprehensive and structured analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) was performed with more than 100 clinical pharmacists, academic staff, and students as participants. An internal factor evaluation (IFE), external factor evaluation (EFE), and SWOT matrix were conducted to compare the provisions of the current system with market needs.Results: The analysis involved more than 40 academic staff members, 35 clinical pharmacists, 50 students, and several administrative staff members. The EFE and IFE were calculated as 2.06 and 2.2, respectively, and were lower than the accepted international standard. The internal and external analyses involved 37 and 20 items, respectively. Finally, a SWOT matrix was constructed to help for proposing the strategies. Several strategies were recommended to address eventual shortcomings.Conclusion: The great paradigm shifts in the pharmaceutical market warrant an equal paradigm shift in clinical pharmacy education. More strategic data are needed to further analyze the market in the next five to ten years. Adopting the current educational modality to best match the needs of the pharmaceutical market is also essential.

Authors: Chen Yiran , Ma Tieming , Wang Zhimin , Jia Lianqun , Zhang Xiaoqing , He Qingxuan , Liu Sijia
Published: November 2020

Purpose: To determine the involvement of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in the action of aloperine on Schwann cell injury caused by high glucose (HG).Methods: Cell viability was determined using MTT assay while the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was determined by biochemical assay. Apoptosis was assessed using flow cytometry, while the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined by Annexin V-FIT staining. Glutathione Stransferase (GST), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results: Treatment with HG suppressed RSC96 cell viability and increased LDH release, while aloperine reversed these results (p < 0.05). Apoptosis of RSC96 cells was induced by HG stimulation, but was abolished by aloperine. The levels of ROS, MDA, and GST were enhanced in cells followingtreatment with HG, but was reversed by aloperine (p < 0.05). The decreased level of GPX caused by HG in RSC96 cells was elevated by aloperine. Moreover, aloperine upregulated NRF2 and HO-1 in RSC96 cells treated with HG (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Aloperine attenuates HG-induced oxidative injury in Schwann cells via activation of NRF2/HO-1 pathway, suggesting its potential as a potent drug for the management of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Sausage type meat products are among the most consumed meat products, but the quality of the meat used in these products is not at the desired level. In Turkey anchovy is an important fish species and its processing on meat products will lead higher quality and nutritional content of meat products and there will be a good alternative product for person dislike to directly consume anchovy. In this study; the chemical, microbiological and sensorial properties of anchovy sausage were investigated. The anchovy sausage provided a high energy value (296 kcal/100g) due to its high contents of protein and fat. It comprised of polyunsaturated fatty acids (12%) as mainly eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. It was also rich in iron, zinc and selenium as essential minerals. The sensorial scores of the anchovy sausage were high. Study results show that this product can be consumed as a healthy meat product.

Performance Management in Bangladeshi Schools: Head Teachers’ Perception
Authors:   Lecturer IER, University of Dhaka, Phone: +8801920111832, Naomee Iffat
Published: November 2020

Performance Management is a very important task for the management of an educational institution. However, this concept is not yet widely acknowledged by most of the educational institutions of Bangladesh. This small-scale qualitative study thus focused on performance management in Bangladeshi schools. The main objective of this study was to explore head teachers’ perception about performance management, their roles in performance management and the challenges that they face while managing performance. Six secondary school head teachers were selected through convenient sampling and were interviewed using semi- structured interview guide. The findings revealed that the head teachers’ concept about performance management is not very clear and they mostly measure teachers’ performance on the basis of students’ scores in the examinations. Results also showed that head teachers sometimes fail to provide effective feedback on teachers’ performance which in turn hampers the teachers’ productivity. This study recommends that head teachers themselves need proper training on performance management and there should be a proper guideline on performance management in every educational institution. The researcher believes that this study along with its findings will help improve the overall performance of the schools as well as the individual performance of the teachers and the head teachers.

In this study, the activities related to the recovery of non-performing loans were
considered in case of “Savings Bank” LLC. According to the survey, it takes an
average of 4.2 years to recover non-performing loans, and recovery rate is on
average 83 percent. The recovery rate of loans has been declining over time despite
the fact that it was high in the first years of the receiver's appointment. Furthermore,
the amount of non-performing loans recovered out-of-court was relatively small
compared to the amount of that recovered through the courts. Although in-court
activitiesto recover the non-performing loanstakes 1.3 years more than out-of-court,
the recovery rate is 7% higher in terms of judicial proceedings.

Published: November 2020

Abstract

Pakistan is one of the only three countries in the world with an enduring poliovirus transmission, making poliomyelitis an important health concern for Pakistan. Paralytic scoliosis is a common musculoskeletal dysfunction associated with poliomyelitis. To determine the occurrence of paralytic scoliosis a cross-sectional study was conducted at Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi from 2015 to 2018. All patients with poliomyelitis reporting to the hospital were included, whereas patients with scoliosis but no poliomyelitis were excluded. Cobb’s angle was used to determine the severity of scoliotic curves. Pearson correlation was used to determine the correlation of Cobb’s angle with age and Independent T-test was used to determine the difference in terms of gender. Confidence interval was kept at 95%. A total of 51 patients with poliomyelitis were included in the study with a mean age of 28.58±15.07 years.
DESIGN AND KINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF A ROBOTIZED CHAIR FOR PROTON ADIATION THERAPY
Authors: Chernykh Aleksey Nikolaevich
Published: November 2020

Proton radiotherapy becomes increasingly important in external radiotherapy. In particular, proton beam

radiation therapy is the most successful and almost non-alternative method of radiation treatment of patients

with intraocular malignant neoplasms. However, currently, the chairs for positioning patients during proton

radiation therapy in the treatment rooms using the fixed proton beam direction do not have the functions of

positioning the fixed head and neck. This article presents a new design of a chair for proton radiation therapy

with a head and neck positioning device, which is being developed as part of the creation of a research

complex for proton radiation therapy of patients with ophthalmic oncology based on the cyclotron C80 at the

NRC “Kurchatov Institute” – PNPI. The proposed design of the robotic therapeutic chair is based on the

theory of U-TRIZ and ergonomics requirements. The main components of the chair are the mechanism for

adjusting the patient position and the device for head fixation device. According to design results, the following

analyzes were carried out: weight pressure analysis in order to identify the chair parts, that do not support

the required weight, and kinematic analysis for the mechanism that adjusts the chair position. Proposed structure of chair for proton radiotherapy meets requirements for correction of posture and performs function of head and neck positioning.

Trading Places: Accessing land in African cities
Authors: Napier Mark , Berrisford Stephen , Kihato Caroline Wanjiku , McGaffin Rod , Royston Lauren
Published: November 2020

Trading Places is about urban land markets in African cities. It explores how local practice, land governance and markets interact to shape the ways that people at society's margins access land to build their livelihoods. The authors argue that the problem is not with markets per se, but in the unequal ways in which market access is structured. They make the case for more equal access to urban land markets, not only for ethical reasons, but because it makes economic sense for growing cities and towns. If we are to have any chance of understanding and intervening in predominantly poor and very unequal African cities, we need to see land and markets differently. New migrants to the city and communities living in slums are as much a part of the real estate market as anyone else; they're just not registered or officially recognised. This book highlights the land practices of those living on the city's margins, and explores the nature and character of their participation in the urban land market. It details how the urban poor access, hold and trade land in the city, and how local practices shape the city, and reconfigures how we understand land markets in rapidly urbanising contexts. Rather than developing new policies which aim to supply land and housing formally but with little effect on the scale of the need, it advocates an alternative approach which recognises the local practices that already exist in land access and management. In this way, the agency of the poor is strengthened, and households and communities are better able to integrate into urban economies.
Research Universities in Africa
Authors: Cloete Nico , Bunting Ian , Van Schalkwyk Francois
Published: November 2020

From the early 2000s, a new discourse emerged, in Africa and the international donor community, that higher education was important for development in Africa. Within this zeitgeist of converging interests, a range of agencies agreed that a different, collaborative approach to linking higher education to development was necessary. This led to the establishment of the Higher Education Research and Advocacy Network in Africa (Herana) to concentrate on research and advocacy about the possible role and contribution of universities to development in Africa. This book is the final publication to emerge from the Herana project. The project has also published more than 100 articles, chapters, reports, manuals and datasets, and many presentations have been delivered to share insights gained from the work done by Herana. Given its prolific dissemination, it seems reasonable to ask whether this fourth and final publication will offer the reader anything new. This book is certainly different from previous publications in several respects. First, it is the only book to include an analysis of eight African universities based on the full 15 years of empirical data collected by the project. Second, previous books and reports were published mid-project. This book has benefited from an extended gestation period allowing the authors and contributors to reflect on the project without the distractions associated with managing and participating in a large-scale project. For the first time, some of those who have been involved in Herana since its inception have had the opportunity to at least make an attempt to see part of the wood for the trees. Different does not necessarily mean new. An emphasis on the newness of the data and perspectives presented in this book is important because it shows that it is more than a historical record of a donor-funded project. Rather, each chapter in this book brings, to a lesser or greater extent, something new to our understanding of universities, research and development in Africa.
Science Communication in South Africa: Reflections on Current Issues
Authors: Weingart Peter , Joubert Marina , Falade Bankole
Published: November 2020

Why do we need to communicate science? Is science, with its highly specialised language and its arcane methods, too distant to be understood by the public? Is it really possible for citizens to participate meaningfully in scientific research projects and debate? Should scientists be mandated to engage with the public to facilitate better understanding of science? How can they best communicate their special knowledge to be intelligible? These and a plethora of related questions are being raised by researchers and politicians alike as they have become convinced that science and society need to draw nearer to one another. Once the persuasion took hold that science should open up to the public and these questions were raised, it became clear that coming up with satisfactory answers would be a complex challenge. The inaccessibility of scientific language and methods, due to ever increasing specialisation, is at the base of its very success. Thus, translating specialised knowledge to become understandable, interesting and relevant to various publics creates particular perils. This is exacerbated by the ongoing disruption of the public discourse through the digitisation of communication platforms. For example, the availability of medical knowledge on the internet and the immense opportunities to inform oneself about health risks via social media are undermined by the manipulable nature of this technology that does not allow its users to distinguish between credible content and misinformation. In countries around the world, scientists, policy-makers and the public have high hopes for science communication: that it may elevate its populations educationally, that it may raise the level of sound decision-making for people in their daily lives, and that it may contribute to innovation and economic well-being. This collection of current reflections gives an insight into the issues that have to be addressed by research to reach these noble goals, for South Africa and by South Africans in particular.
3D Foot Scan to Custom Shoe Last

Published: November 2020

Today’s customers not only look at aesthetic beauty but also quality, comfort and fit. New technologies such as digitization and virtual 3D tailoring are providing more options to consumers and designers in designing different styles with the least possible time. Next to the shoe fashion and style, good fit and comfort are the second important determinant in the purchase of footwear. Although there is a need for better fitting, there are no techniques for fit quantification. In traditional shoemaking, the shoe is categorized by the length and width (or girth), hence there is always a mismatch between the complex foot shape and shoe shape. For the industry in order to meet the demand for better footwear, new techniques for fit quantification is required in order to have a direct mapping form foot to shoe-last (a mold for making shoes). In recent years, with the rapid development of computer technology and advanced design and manufacturing technologies such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), the manufacturing of customized shoe lasts is becoming possible. Still research is needed to find the best shoe-last. This paper discusses the basic concepts and current methods being followed to convert foot to shoe-last, retrieve the best fitting shoe last based on the 3D foot scan of the customer, and to obtain customized shoe last.

Published: November 2020

Soft computing is a new approach to construct intelligent systems. The complex real world problems require intelligent systems that combine knowledge, techniques and methodologies from various sources. Neural networks recognize patterns and adapt themselves to cope with changing environments. Artificial neural network has potential applications in the field of ECG diagnosis measures. So noise reduced QRS complex of ECG signal is of utmost importance for automatic ECG interpretation and analysis. Noise is an unwanted energy, which interferes with the desired signal. Noise cancellation is mainly used as interference canceling in ECG, echo elimination on long distance telephone transmission lines and antenna side lobe interference canceling. In the study, the ECG signal is trained following various artificial neural network based algorithms to enhance the QRS complex by reducing noise for further analysis.
Situasi Politik Pemerintahan Dinasti Umayyah dan Abbasiyah

At the end of the Rasyidin Caliphate there was division within Muslims. Politically there are two dominant groups: Hasan bin Ali and Mu’awiyah bin Abi Sufyan. Politically there are two dominant groups, Hasan bin Ali and Mu’awiyah bin Abi Sufyan. After the negotiations, for the sake of unity of Muslims, it was agreed that Hasan acknowledged Mu’awiyah as the Caliph of the Muslim marked the emergence of the Umayyad Dynasty. The moment was called 'am jama'ah (unity year) in 661. The Abbasid Dynasty was the descendant of Prophet Muhammad's uncle, al-Abbas, who supported Ali bin Abi Talib and his descendants (including Hasan bin Ali). This paper aims to discuss some of the political situation that developed when the Umayyads (661-750) and the Abbasids (750- 1258). In Mu’awiyah bin Abi Sufyan's time there was a change of the political system from the khulafaur Rashidin into a system of al-Mulk (heredity monarchy) characterized by the appointment of his son, Yazin bin Mu'awiyah. This system adopted from the Persian and Byzantine kingdoms. However, maintaining the term caliph of Islam. Mu'awiyah also used Diwan and Sheikh to run the government, with the mechanism of Shura for consultative functions. After 150 years the Umayyads, the power was changed over by Abu al-Abbas Abdullah and marked the rising of the Abbasid in 750. In the Abbasid period the political and religious issues can’t be separated, which earlier in the Umayyad period were separated. The propaganda that the caliph is the representative of the people in carrying out God's command is valid until the Judgment Day. More explicitly, the term al-Imam (which also means the leader of prayer) is the leader in political affairs. In addition, the implementation of Islamic Shari'a is also more highlighted in governing the government and legitimating the power of the caliph. In general, the political style of the Abbasids is more Persian than the more Arab Umayyads

There are differences of opinion regarding the collected of VAT when Villlage Government Treasurers - who now changed his name to Head of Financial Affairs - deals with Non Taxable Entrepreneur partners with practices. The opinion states that there is no collected VAT by the Head of Financial Affairs  whenever deals with Non Taxable Entrepreneur partners. There are two reasons how to collected VAT by  Head of Financial Affairs. Firstly, status of Taxable Entrepreneur  is a condition for tax payable mechanism and secondly, must be a tax invoice for each transaction. Practically, the Village Government Treasurer collected VAT on each transaction with Non Taxable Entrepreneur partners. This paper aims to clarify this issue through normative research. The result of this paper, that two reasons of collected VAT (status of Taxable Entrepreneur and the existence of tax invoices) are inappropriate. The most appropriate is set by the decree of the Director General of Taxes No. Kep-382 / PJ. / 2002, which clearly states that the VAT collector does not need to collect VAT on delivery of Taxable Goods or Taxable service by Non Taxable Entrepreneur. The rule can be a reference for the Head of Financial Affairs not to collect VAT to Non Taxable Entrepreneur partners. In fact, the rule can be interpreted differently because there are special rules (provisio) in the VAT Act and the issuance of this rule does not comply with the principle of lex superior derogat legi inferior. To provide legal certainty that is clear and firm and does not contain double meaning or provide an opportunity to be interpreted, new regulations are required at the lowest level of the Ministry of Finance Regulation as mandated by the VAT Law, and in that rule to be returned to special rule as stated in Article 16A.

Descriptive statistical methods, significance tests, correlation and regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data.

Results: 93 internal medicine specialists participated in the study. Changes in clinical practice of internal medicine physicians are as follows; 37.7% of them do not want to perform the physical examination, 43% of the physicians postponed the research of patients who needed an examination, 64.5% of their chronic patients did not come to their routine controls and 50.5% of the physicians had a disruption in the follow-up of chronic patients. Clinical approach of physicians working in pandemic hospital; clinical approach of physicians encountering covid-19 patients and the clinical approach of physicians treating patients with covid-19 were more affected by COVID-19. Anxiety was detected in 60.2% of internal medicine physicians. A weak, linear relationship was found between clinical functioning and back anxiety factor at p= 0.001 error level.

Conclusion: During the pandemic it was found that the examination of patients requiring advanced examination and follow-up of chronic patients were affected. In addition, the level of anxiety was found to be high in internal medicine physicians
As doenças dos mineiros de carvão do sul do Brasil em meados do século XX
Authors: Mandelli Bruno
Published: November 2020

Este artigo analisa as condições de vida e saúde dos trabalhadores das minas de carvão no sul do Brasil, em especial as doenças e enfermidades que os atingiam. Faz uma discussão sobre a emergência da saúde pública e da medicina do trabalho como áreas de estudo e pesquisa sobre as doenças que atingiam os trabalhadores, especificamente os mineiros do carvão na Europa e em alguns países da América Latina. Através da pesquisa bibliográfica de autores que pesquisaram sobre a saúde laboral dos trabalhadores e de relatórios de médicos que viveram e trabalhavam na região carbonífera naquela época, procura-se relacionar a discussão teórica com a análise empírica dos casos de acidentes e doenças dos mineiros de carvão no Brasil. Por fim, faz a análise de um processo na justiça de um acidente de trabalho de um mineiro em Santa Catarina, demonstrando os embates que ocorriam entre operários, patrões e as seguradoras de acidentes de trabalho em meados do século XX.
Por que não posso “querer fixar o sol e observar a lua”?: “Desviantes” do trabalho e seu adoecimento na Colônia Juliano Moreira-RJ (1930-1945)
Authors: Almeida Anna Beatriz de Sá , Guedes Ana Carolina de Azevedo
Published: November 2020

Neste artigo, analisamos a história de homens internados na Colônia Juliano Moreira (CJM) que apresentaram indícios em suas documentações de internações de doenças mentais relacionadas com o trabalho. A metodologia de trabalho foi o levantamento e seleção do grupode internos, analisando as principais fontes documentais: os prontuários dos internos. No Brasil, foi durante o governo Vargas que o trabalho e o trabalhador foram sendo alvos de políticas públicas mais intensas na busca da construção da “nação”. Do indivíduo homem, provedor da família e cidadão trabalhador produtivo se esperava que fosse um "respeitável" chefe de família, gozando de boa saúde e muito disciplinado, a base da construção nacional. Assim, qualquer desvio nesse modelo – fosse por indisciplina ou esgotamento físico e mental decorrente das atividades e das condições de trabalho – tornava esses homens “desviantes” do projeto de nação e sociedade que se defendia naquele momento e, portanto, passíveis de serem considerados “loucos” e internados em instituições psiquiátricas para tratamento erecuperação.

Este estudo discute como professores de Educação Física escolar compreendem e elaboram o planejamento de ensino na Educação Infantil. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa realizada com cinco professores de Educação Física, diplomados pela mesma instituição de ensino superior, que atuam na Educação Infantil da rede pública de um município da Região do Vale do Taquari/RS. As informações foram coletadas por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, cuja análise de conteúdo originou dois pontos de discussão: (i) planejamento de ensino: das dúvidas à desvalorização do plano de trabalho e (ii) planos de aulas: da busca por atividades às críticas sobre o Ensino Superior. Em conclusão, os professores percebem o planejamento de ensino como documento de fins burocráticos, cuja elaboração é marcada pela escolha de objetivos e seleção de atividades práticas e brincadeiras prontas. Nesse caso, desconsiderando o caráter político e utópico do planejamento e reduzindo o curso de graduação a uma formação técnico-instrumental.

Authors: Zaim-de-Melo Rogério , De Godoy Luís Bruno , Braccialli Felipe
Published: November 2020

O presente artigo apresenta uma pesquisa teórica realizada a partir de uma revisão de literatura sobre o palhaço/clown nas aulas de Educação Física escolar, em artigos publicados em periódicos avaliados pelo sistema Qualis Capes. O objetivo foi verificar, em produções científicas que abordam as atividades circenses na Educação Física escolar brasileira, publicadas entre os anos de 2010 e 2019, se há a presença do palhaço/clown, e como o palhaço é apresentado nesses artigos. Foram encontradas 50 publicações, das quais 10 abordam o palhaço/clown, em 5 delas o palhaço foi desenvolvido como um dos conteúdos das aulas, nos outros textos ele é apenas citado. Diante disso, foi proposto neste trabalho um desenvolvimento linear dos contextos históricos e possíveis jogos cênicos de palhaço a serem trabalhados nas aulas de Educação Física escolar.

Published: November 2020

Introduction

Osteoarthritis is a common disease in which skin temperature may be included among the pathophysiological factors. Thermography allows the mapping of cutaneous temperature and may be employed in the investigation of osteoarthritis.

Objectives

To evaluate cutaneous temperature of the lower limbs, as well as to verify its association with pressure pain thresholds in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.

Material and methods

This case series study was conducted with individuals of both genders aged 48–77 years with unilateral knee osteoarthritis. Volunteers underwent thermographic evalua­tion by an infrared sensor (FLIR T650SC). The anterior region of the thigh and leg and the knee area were evaluated. Pressure pain thresholds (PPT) were evaluated by algometry (Pain Diagnostics, Great Neck, USA) at the vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, and patellar tendon. Data analy­sis was conducted with the statistical package SPSS v.24 for Windows. Comparisons between affected and unaffected sides were made by paired Student’s t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test, and associations between variables were assessed by Pearson or Spearman’s correlation coefficient. In all cases, the significance level was set at p ≤ 0.05.

Results

Eleven volunteers (63.1 ±9.5 years) participated in this study. When comparing cutaneous temperature, only the region of the knee showed a significant difference between sides (p = 0.02). There were no differences between affected and unaffected knees regarding pain tolerance (PPT) at all sites evaluated. There were also no significant associations between the study variables.

Abstract. The use of specialized meat breeds in cattle breeding
programs is considered very promising for improving herds'
productivity. However, in animal genotype, along with genes that positively
affect the productivity signs, there are genes whose mutations, known as
genetic defects, negatively affect the health of animals. The aim of the
study was the screening of the Russian populations of Aberdeen Angus,
Hereford and Belgian Blue cattle on gene mutations associated with the
genetic defects of arthrogryposis multiplex (AM), osteopetrosis (OS),
developmental duplication (DD), double muscling (M1), hypotrichosis (HY) and
maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) as well as the F94L polymorphism of myostatin
gene (MSTN) linked with the gene responsible for less fat content in the carcass by means of DNA
analysis. In the article, test systems based on the polymerase chain reaction method are presented. The analysis of the Aberdeen Angus (n=4480)
population has revealed 0.19 ± 0.09 % animal M1 carriers,
0.53 ± 0.03 % OS carriers, 1.92 ± 0.09 % AM carriers and
9.00 ± 0.20 % DD carriers. The genotyping of Hereford cattle of
Russian populations (n=525) has not revealed any individual carriers of
MSUD or HY genetic defects. All of the Belgian Blue population (n=92)
animals were heterozygous M1 carriers. The study of the F94L MSTN polymorphism has demonstrated extremely
high frequencies of the desirable A allele (0.93 and 0.90) in two Aberdeen Angus populations with an average
mean of 0.63 ± 0.08, which was 32 % higher compared to the Belgian Blue
population. The results suggest the high genetic potential of the Aberdeen
Angus and Belgian Blue cattle, but the existence in the genotypes of the mutant
alleles associated with hereditary diseases indicates the risk of
uncontrolled use of these breeds.

Abstract. The magnitude of termite methane (CH4) emissions is still an uncertain part of the global CH4 budget and current emission estimates are based on limited field studies. We present in-situ CH4 emission measurements of termite mounds and termite mound sub samples, performed in the Amazon rain forest. Emissions of five termite mounds of the species Neocapritermes brasiliensis were measured by use of a large flux chamber connected to a portable gas analyser, measuring CH4 and CO2. In addition, the emission of mound sub samples was measured, after which termites were counted, so that a termite CH4 and CO2 emission factor could be determined. Mound emissions were found to range between 17.0–34.8 nmol mound−1 s−1 for CH4 and between 1.6–13.5 μmol mound−1 s−1 for CO2. A termite emission factor of 0.32 μmol CH4 gtermite−1 h−1 was found, which is twice as high as the only other reported average value for the Amazon. By combining mound emission measurements with the termite emission factor, colony sizes could be estimated, which were found to range between 50–120 thousand individuals. Estimates were similar to literature values, and we therefore propose that this method can be used as a quick non-intrusive method to estimate termite colony size in the field. The role of termites in the ecosystems CH4 budget was evaluated by use of two approaches. Termite mound emission values were combined with local termite mound density numbers, leading to an estimate of 0.15–0.71 nmol CH4 m−2 s−1 on average emitted by termite mounds. In addition, the termite CH4 emission factor from this study was combined with termite density numbers, resulting in an estimate of termite emitted CH4 of ~1.0 nmol m−2 s−1. Considering the relatively low net CH4 emissions previously measured at this ecosystem, we expect that termites play an important role in the CH4 budget of this Terra Firme ecosystem.
