The lack of the necessary amount of equipment for winter maintenance, significant precipitation in the form of snow, lead to a decrease in the efficiency of roads. Inside, courtyards and sidewalks are also covered with a layer of compacted snow due to untimely snow removal. Mekhanic method of breaking compacted snow is currently insufficiently studied and so far there is no effective equipment to combat snow and ice formations. A peculiarity of the process of compacted snow destruction in the mode of vibration cutting is intermittent contact of the knife with the destroyed medium. Condition of the set mode of vibrocutting is the criterion of an exit of a blade of a vibrocleaver from contact with the destroyed environment. The aim of the study is to establish the time at which the knife comes into contact with compacted snow. The obtained results of the calculations make it possible to set the values at which the mode of «vibration cutting» is set and to select parameters of the hydraulic accumulator, which ensures the movement of the blade of the vibrocleaver of the compacted snow.

Published: March 2021

The article is devoted to the method of designing a cone roller for deep compaction of soil used as the working body of a crawler excavator. One of the most important design parameters of a cone roll is the angle of the cone. Known methods allow determining the cone angle for other technological tasks, for example, for loosening frozen soil, and cannot be directly applied to solve the problem. The authors propose an original method for selecting rational parameters of a cone roller head, including the angle of the cone. The method uses a mathematical model of the interaction of a cone roller with compacted soil. In the process of solving the mathematical model are the following parameters: the dependence of the area of the lateral surface of a cone, the dependence of the volume of displaced soil on the contact surface of the cone from the contact patch, the total force, cone force acting on the ground torsional, and axial force in the implementation of the cone, applied by the excavator boom. To identify the optimal value of the cone angle, the function of the volume of displaced soil from the cone angle and the axial force during penetration from the cone angle was studied. As a result, it is determined that the optimal angle of the cone is 240, which will provide the greatest efficiency according to the performance / cost criterion.

Published: March 2021

The method of electrospark machining has proven itself well in the technology of repair and restoration of parts. The operational properties of coatings obtained by this method depend on the microstructure, chemical and phase composition of the electrode materials. A significant improvement in operational properties, for example, wear resistance, is achieved by the formation of nanostructured coatings using electrodes with a certain content of alloying nanomaterials. It is possible to obtain such materials at the lowest cost by electro-erosion dispersion of machine-building waste. This article discusses the electrodes obtained by sintering bronze powder obtained by the method of electroerosive dispersion. Such materials are new for the process of electrospark machining; therefore, it is important to study and select the optimal application modes, since a qualitative characteristic of the process is the indicator of the transfer of the electrode material to the part, which depends on the processing modes and installation parameters. The aim of the study is to select the modes of the installation for electrospark treatment for optimal deposition of the material, as well as to study the degree of coating increment during electrospark treatment. Coating was carried out using an installation for electrospark treatment mod. «Westron» type AI-007, electrode material was obtained by the technology of spark plasma sintering of bronze powder, surfacing was carried out on steel samples 14 × 14 × 40 mm in size, the work also used an Acculab ALC-210d4 analytical balance and an MG micrometer Н25 GOST 6507-90. All coatings were applied to samples with an equal area in three layers under different processing conditions. After that, the increment in the thickness and mass of the electrode material on the sample surface was measured. Based on the results of the work, formulas were obtained and graphs were built. The most optimal mode of coating with an electrode made of sintered bronze obtained from machine-building waste by the method of electroerosive dispersion was determined, which proves the consistency of this method of obtaining electrode materials.
Naturaleza Muerta. Psicotanatología Forense

Lo tanático aparece a partir de la lectura psicoanalítica como un accionar silencioso, acallando el ruido de unión de Eros. La naturaleza muerta nos muestra un momento de ese equilibrio dinámico: al mismo tiempo que la vida resiste, todo se muere por causas internas (Freud, 1938/1976).
La Psicotanatología Forense se propone como un conjunto disciplinar que involucra una serie de dispositivos que permiten aportar desde la psicología elementos necesarios para incorporar a la investigación judicial.
Este breve texto se propone un diálogo estético con las bases epistemológicas de la psicotanatología forense, que permite abordar algunos conceptos del campo de la estética y la ciencia para definir el campo de estudio que toma como eje central la investigación de la muerte violenta en el ámbito judicial.
La naturaleza muerta expresa en la pintura la frase memento mori, y con ello el detenimiento del instante y la apreciación en todas sus complejas dimensiones. Acontecimiento efímero e infinito, como la muerte.

Published: March 2021

The contribution of Islamic banking towards economic growth remains debatable amongst academicians and practitioners. This study investigates the relationship between Islamic banks’ financing and economic growth in Indonesia which is the largest Muslim population country. This study adopts Autoregressive-Distributed Lag (ARDL) and utilizes time-series quarterly data from 2011Q1 to 2019Q3. The study uses four predictors: financing to deposit ratio; inflation; gross capital fixed formation; and trade openness. The results from the auto-regressive distributed lag model indicate that, in the long-run, Islamic banks' financing has a significant impact on the Indonesian economy. However, in the short-run, financing does not make a substantial contribution to Indonesian economic growth. The study’s key implication is that financing by Islamic banks still makes a limited contribution to economic growth in Indonesia. This study enhances the literature review, specifically on evaluating the contribution of Islamic banks towards economic growth. Numerous existing studies on this topic covering the crisis period data, which might suffer from data bias. Therefore, this study addresses this topic, excluding the global financial crises period such as 1998, 2008, and 2020, to demonstrate Islamic banks' evident contribution to Indonesian economic growth.

Published: March 2021

A regional grassland with Bermudagrass in Yangzhou City of China was
adopted as the study location. Based on the analysis of the different
rainfall events and soil water content data in the same periods, the
response characteristics of infiltration to rainfall were revealed in a
certain degree. The surface resistance parameters (rs) are calibrated
according to the soil water content at the depths of a range for 0-30 cm
and of the root layer (0-10 cm). Penman-Monteith (P-M) equation was
adopted to estimated the hourly evapotranspiration (ET) over the
Bermudagrass lawn of the soil layers for the depths of 0-30 cm (ET30)
and 0-10 cm (ET10), respectively. Applicability of HYDRUS-1D model for
simulating soil water content at different depths was validated. The
results indicated that the infiltration depth generally varies with the
rainfall event grade, and on the whole, the infiltration depth increases
with the improvement of amount of rainfall; the response time for the
soil water content in root layer is much shorter with the less soil
water content in the topsoil (0-5.5 cm); the increase rate of soil water
content raised with increasing of rainfall intensity in the state of
unsaturation; ET10 accounts for about 78% of ET30, which demonstrates
the water consumed by ET is mainly provided by the soil water in the
root layer. the rationality of the results of different rainfall events
and infiltration depth achieved by the analysis of the observed data
were verified via numerical simulation using Hydrus-1D.
Multiple factors likely explain variation in investment in sexual reproduction by lake Daphnia populations
Authors: Gowler Camden , Rogalski Mary , Shaw Clara , Hunsberger Katherine , Duffy Meghan
Published: March 2021

Many organisms can reproduce both asexually and sexually. For cyclical
parthenogens, periods of asexual reproduction are punctuated by bouts of
sexual reproduction, and the timing of the shift from asexual to sexual
reproduction has large impacts on fitness and population dynamics. We
studied populations of Daphnia dentifera to determine the amount
of investment in sexual reproduction as well as the factors associated
with variation in investment in sex. To do so, we tracked host density,
parasite infections, sexual reproduction, temperature, and light
attenuation in 15 lake populations of D. dentifera for three
years. We monitored infections by nine common parasites; this is notable
since most prior studies on investment in sex and parasitism have
focused on a single parasite, even though multiparasite communities are
the norm in nature. We found substantial variation in investment in sex,
with some populations reproducing entirely asexually throughout the
study period and others shifting almost entirely to sexual reproduction
by late autumn. We found that higher host density and parasitism were
associated with greater investment in sex. Temperature and light
attenuation were not as predictive of investment in sex, but received
some statistical support. While correlational, our results leverage a
large time series dataset and suggest multiple factors likely drive
variation in sexual reproduction in this dominant member of lake food
webs.
TD-DFT/DFT study of Toluidine blue O in aqueous solution: vibronic transitions and electronic properties
Authors: Kostjukova Lyudmila , Leontieva Svetlana , Kostjukov Victor
Published: March 2021

The vibronic absorption spectrum of Toluidine blue O (TBO) dye in an
aqueous solution was calculated using the time-dependent density
functional theory (TD-DFT). The calculations were performed using all
hybrid functionals supported by Gaussian16 software and 6-31++G(d,p)
basis set with IEFPCM and SMD solvent models. The IEFPCM gave
underestimated values of λmax in comparison with the experiment, what is
a manifestation of the TD-DFT “cyanine failure”. However, the SMD made
it possible to obtain good agreement between calculated and experimental
spectra. The best fit was achieved using the X3LYP functional. The
dipole moments and atomic charges of the ground and excited states of
the TBO molecule were calculated. Photoexcitation leads to an increase
in the dipole moment of the dye molecule. An insignificant photoinduced
electron transfer was found in the central ring of the chromophore of
the TBO molecule. Vibronic transitions play a significant role in the
absorption spectrum of the dye.
Estimating Viral Prevalence with Data Integration for Adaptive Two-Phase Pooled Sampling

Published: March 2021

1. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of efficient
sampling strategies and statistical methods for monitoring infection
prevalence, both in humans and reservoir hosts. Pooled testing can be an
efficient tool for learning pathogen prevalence in a population.
Typically pooled testing requires a second phase follow up procedure to
identify infected individuals, but when the goal is solely to learn
prevalence in a population, such as a reservoir host, there are more
efficient methods for allocating the second phase samples. 2. To
estimate pathogen prevalence in a population, this manuscript presents
an approach for data integration with two-phased testing of pooled
samples that allows more efficient estimation of prevalence with less
samples than traditional methods. The first phase uses pooled samples to
estimate the population prevalence and inform efficient strategies for
the second phase. To combine information from both phases, we introduce
a Bayesian data integration procedure that combines pooled samples with
individual samples for joint inferences about the population prevalence.
3. Data integration procedures result in more efficient estimation of
prevalence than traditional procedures that only use individual samples
or a single phase of pooled sampling. 4. The manuscript presents
guidance on implementing the first phase and second phase sampling plans
using data integration. Such methods can be used to assess the risk of
pathogen spillover from reservoir hosts to humans, or to track pathogens
such as SARS-CoV-2 in populations.
Ethical issues in therapeutic use and research in pregnant and breastfeeding women
Authors: Weld Ethel , Bailey Theodore , Waitt Catrionia
Published: March 2021

Pregnant, or potentially pregnant women have historically been excluded
from clinical trials of new medications. However, it is increasingly
recognised that it is imperative to generate evidence from the
population in whom the drugs are likely to be used in order to inform
safe, evidence-based shared clinical decision making. Reluctance by
researchers and regulators to perform such studies often relates to
concerns about risk, particularly to the fetus. However, this must be
offset against the risk of untreated disease or using a drug in
pregnancy where safety, efficacy and dosing information are not known.
This review summarises the historical perspective, the ethical and legal
frameworks which inform the conduct of such research, then highlights
examples of innovative practice which have enabled high quality, ethical
research to proceed to inform the evidence-based use of medication in
pregnancy.

D-serine has antidepressant effects in mice through suppression of the BDNF signaling pathway and regulation of synaptic plasticity in the nucleus accumbens
Authors: Chen Zhenzhen , Tang Zhenyu , Zou Ke , Huang Zhihong , Liu Liuer , Yang Yuan-Jian , Wang Wei
Published: March 2021

Background and Purpose: D-serine is a crucial endogenous co-agonist of
NMDARs in the central nervous system and can affect the function of the
BDNF system, which plays an essential role in modulating synaptic
plasticity. The aim of the current investigation was to systematically
evaluate the role and mechanisms of D-serine in depressive behavior in
NAc. Experimental Approach: D-Serine concentration in the CSDS model in
NAc was measured by HPLC. The antidepressant-like effects of D-serine
were identified by the FST and TST in control mice, and then assessed in
the CSDS model. We applied social interaction and sucrose preference
tests to identify the susceptibility of CSDS model. Western blotting was
further performed to assess the changes of BDNF signaling cascade in NAc
after CSDS and D-serine treatment. The BDNF signaling inhibitor (K252a)
was also used to clarify the antidepressant mechanism of D-serine.
Moreover, effects of D-serine on synaptic plasticity in NAc were
investigated by electrophysiological methods. Key Results: D-serine
injections into the NAc exhibited antidepressant effects in the FST, TST
and CSDS model. Next, D-serine down-regulated the BDNF signaling pathway
in NAc during the CSDS procedure. Moreover, K252a enhanced the
antidepressant effects of D-serine. We also found that D-serine was
essential for NMDARs-LTD. Conclusion and Implications: Our results
provide the first evidence that D-serine exerts antidepressant effects
in mice mediated through restraining the BDNF signaling pathway and
regulating synaptic plasticity in NAc, which indicates that D-serine may
be an effective therapeutic agent for depression. KEYWORDS D-serine,

Published: March 2021

Aims: We carried out a systematic literature review and meta-analytic
synthesis to find out association between DM and related outcomes in
patients with COVID-19 infection. Methods: We systematically searched
MEDLINE, and Web of Science to identify studies investigating
comorbidities, clinical manifestations and resource utilization of
diabetic patients exposed with COVID-19 published from inception to
January 2021. Meta-analysis was carried out using Review Manager 5.3.
Random effects model was used to compute the pooled estimates of odds
ratio/mean difference (OR)/(MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Results: Results from the pooled meta-analysis found that CVD,
hypertension, AKI, cerebrovascular disease, AKI and ARDS were
significantly associated with DM in COVID-19 infected patients compared
to non-diabetic patients. There is significant association found between
mortality and DM compared to non-diabetic patients [OR (95% CI): 2.46
(1.68, 3.58)]. ICU admission and use of mechanical ventilation was
significantly associated with DM and COVID-19 vs. non-diabetic [OR
(95% CI): 2.79 (1.79,4.34) and 3.33 (2.05, 5.42)] respectively.
However, LOS, hospitalization, and ICU admission were not significantly
differing between diabetes vs. non-diabetes. Conclusions: The results
showed a significant association between mortality and DM exposed with
COVID-19. Other co-morbidities especially CVD/hypertension could be a
serious threat for DM COVID-19 infected patients for the higher
mortality.

Surgical treatment of secondary mitral regurgitation in heart failure: a present-day view
Authors: Agafonov E. G. , Popov M. A. , Zybin D. I. , Shumakov D. V.
Published: March 2021

Rationale.Secondary, or functional, mitral regurgitation is the most common complication of heart failure. Dysfunctionof one or more mitral valve structures occurs in 39–74% of patients thus complicating the course of the disease andsignificantly worsening the prognosis in patients with left ventricle dilatation. An unfavorable prognosis in patientswith the development of mitral regurgitation is conditioned by the progressive changes that form a vicious circle: thecontinuing volume overload and dilatation of the left ventricle cause its remodeling, leading to further dilatation ofthe mitral valve annulus. Dysfunctions of the papillary muscles lead to the increased tension of the left ventricle walland increased mitral regurgitation. Clinically, this process is manifested by the congestive heart failure progression andworsened prognosis of the further course, which in the future may lead to considering the inclusion of this patient groupon the waiting list for heart transplantation.Purpose.The purpose of this article is to review the role of surgical management in patients with heart failure complicatedby mitral regurgitation.Conclusions.The main principles of the treatment for functional mitral regurgitation include the reverse left ventricularremodeling and mitral valve repair or replacement surgery which lead to an improved quality of life, the transition ofpatients to a lower functional class, reduced hospital admission rates, and also to a regression or slower progression of theheart failure and to an improved survival.

Published: March 2021

This chapter introduces the global sustainable development agenda and outlines the UN Sustainable Development Goals framework which is made up of 17 goals to be achieved by 2030. This global framework is offered as a lens through which sustainable development in the context of tourism is being implemented and measured. This is contrasted with responsible tourism, which is framed as the set of processes and mechanisms through which sustainable development is being pursued. The case study of iSimangaliso Wetland Park in South Africa at the end of the chapter consolidates the key ideas from the chapter through highlighting the role that tourism plays in changing and shaping the socio-cultural and environmental fabric of societies, and sustainable approaches to addressing these changes today and in the future.
Tracking via Bluetooth and Wi Fi
Authors: Hardy Anne
Published: March 2021

The technique of tracking tourists’ mobility using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology has emerged as a reliable and viable option for tourism planners and researchers (Shoval and Ahas, 2016; Musa and Eriksson, 2012). Recent studies have employed Bluetooth to measure the time it takes for people to pass through security (Bullock et al., 2010); assess movement flows at festivals (Versichele et al., 2012); and explore movement through cities (Verischele, 2014). Bluetooth has also been used to track high speed movement, such as car and cyclists, whereas Wi-Fi scanning, which takes a longer time to capture a signal, has been used to assess the flows of slower moving objects, such as tourists on foot, or other pedestrians (Abedi et al., 2013). Tracking using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth offers researchers the ability to track vast amounts of data on movement in a relatively short period of time. Verischele et al., (2012) describes the scanning of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals as ‘non-participatory’ research because individuals are not required to sign up and participate to studies of this nature, nor are they aware they are being tracked. The advantage of this approach is that tourists do not change their behaviour because of the knowledge that they are being tracked. This chapter will now review these forms of tracking technology, along with their advantages, limitations and ethical implications.
Tracking Using GPS Technology
Authors: Hardy Anne
Published: March 2021

The use of global positioning system (GPS) technology underpins many different methods of tracking. GPS tracking involves the use of a beacon that sends the location of a device to satellites to determine the precise location of the beacon. In recent years, technological improvements have meant that GPS tracking units have become exponentially smaller in size. Whereas early portable beacons such as the Magellan (launched in 1989) were 22 cm in length and around 700 grams in weight, if not larger than television screens, they can now fit into the back of watches and mobile phones (Shoval and Isaacson, 2010). This chapter will explore the development of GPS technology and its application to tourism research, when utilised with portable GPS loggers.
Law Enforcement in Indonesia in Perspective of Transcendental Legal Justice Paradigm
Authors: Kasiyati Siti
Published: March 2021

Law enforcement in Indonesia still leaves various problems, especially regarding the sense of justice. Such as diffable cases dealing with the law, civil cases, especially in the land sector, which relies on property rights certificates, cases of domestic violence (nusyuz).In this case, this study discusses how law enforcement in Indonesia is, and how law enforcement is in the perspective of the transcendental justice paradigm. This research is a literary research using secondary data sources, namely primary and secondary legal materials. This study includes a normative study with a synthetic analytic approach.Based on the results of the analysis, law enforcement in Indonesia, both criminal and civil, is still fixated on legal certainty, thus ignoring substantive justice. This is where a shift is needed from the paradigm of law enforcement based on legal certainty to transcendent justice. This condition can be seen from several decisions that are very formalistic and based on laws, where legal certainty is the front line compared to substantive justice so that justice is not felt by the public. This condition is also strongly influenced by the legal paradigm adopted in Indonesia, namely positivist law or known as the systemic legal paradigm. Transcendental starts from irrational and metaphysical thinking such as emotions, feelings, instincts, moral spirituality and as part of building science. In this context, law enforcement. The perspective of the transcendental legal justice paradigm highlights how the purpose of Islamic law is useful for justice and human welfare. Where the law is based on ethics (morals) so that it can produce substantive justice, not mere formalistic justice, which summarizes the human attitude to be fair to God as the creator, fair to fellow humans and fair to the universe.

Ego-Centric Parents in The Novels of Dickens
Authors: Gautam Dr. Archana
Published: March 2021

The purpose of this paper is to show EGO-CENTRIC PARENTS IN THE NOVELS OF CHARLES DICKENS. Many of Dickens’ children suffer because of the failure of their parents to play their proper parental role. Dickens himself said his most painful memories of childhood were of his being abandoned by his own parents, and, later, of his mother’s insistence on sending him to work even when the family was out of debt, and young Charles eager to resume his studies. It is no surprise, therefore, that several of the children in Dickens’ novels suffer at the hands of their own callous and uncaring, and selfish and demanding parents. Dickens’ mothers are often ‘odd’ and his father’s ‘bad’. It is indeed true that in Dickens’ novels evil too often threatens to intrude the scenes of fellowship and warmth because of the parents themselves.

The Cycle of Life in The Hundred Little Flames
Authors: Manju Dr. A. J. , P. A. Anvar
Published: March 2021

India has a variety of cultures which are more common in South India. India's culture collectively refers to the thousands of unique and distinct cultures of all the religions and communities present in India. The languages, religions, dance, music, architecture, food and customs of India vary from one place to another within the country. Indian culture has often been described as a fusion of several cultures. It's a family story, a relationship and a friendship. Ayan unravels mysteries that surround his grandfather Gopal Shanker's life. The story is simple and revolves around the protagonist, Ayan, whose life is thrown into turmoil following an unfortunate incident at a party which he attends due to peer pressure. Ayan is the symbol of the Millennial, careless young man of today who is over-imaginative of life. However, when you come to its core, Religion, caste system and local traditions are reflected in the day-to-day life of the people. Each locality has its own traditional customs based on a particular religion and caste. While Indian culture is vast, there are not many books on the subject that are not well adapted to readers ' needs. Preeti Shenoy's "A Hundred Little Flames" among the few read-friendly books. Every Modern household has modern amenities, but in its relationship, family bond, etc., the truth is lacking. In India, people used to give the relationships and bonds more values. All those good factors are vanishing in the modern days. The author highlighted these situations of Indian families and systems of today. People forget about their parents when you age and send them to old age homes. A Hundred Little Flames is a gem of a novel that continues to attract the attention of its reader. A sequel with a twist on other characters maybe wouldn't be such a bad idea. How our values were, and what importance we neglect these days, and disregard, and tells us what Gopal and Rohini can teach us. The book enlightens us on a good path and brightens our lives like hundred little flames.

The purpose of the research is as follows: analysis of the current state of functioning of the road transport sector in Eastern Europe and identification of key problems and trends in its development. Research methods: Methods of grouping, comparison and generalization, сorrelation analysis have been used to identify the dynamics of the main indicators of road transport in Eastern Europe. The method of correlation-regression analysis has been applied to determine the impact of increasing the length of roads on the turnover of the road freight transport and the number of employed population in this area. Results. It has been found that the increase in the employed population by 96% and increase in revenues from transportation and storage of goods, postal and courier services (turnover of the road freight transport - in the original language) in the field of road transport by 82% is explained by the change in transport infrastructure capacity by increasing length of highways.

Errata Corrige. Decomposition of CR-manifolds and splitting of CR-maps
Authors: Hayashimoto Atsushi , Kim Sung-Yeon , Zaitsev Dmitri
Published: March 2021

We show the uniqueness of local and global decompositions of abstract CR-manifolds into direct products of irreducible factors, and a splitting property for their CR-diffeomorphisms into direct products with respect to these decompositions. The assumptions on the manifolds are finite non-degeneracy and finite-type on a dense subset. In the real-analytic case, these are the standard assumptions that appear in many other questions. In the smooth case, the assumptions cannot be weakened by replacing “dense” with “open” as is demonstrated by an example. An application to the cancellation problem is also given. The proof is based on the development of methods of [BER99b], [BRZ00], [KZ01] and the use of “approximate infinitesimal automorphisms” introduced in this paper.
Obesity and inflammatory skin diseases
Authors: Nakamizo Satoshi , Honda Tetsuya , Kabashima Kenji
Published: March 2021

Obesity has become a significant public health problem since it may cause many chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, liver diseases, and some cancers. Recent studies have shown that obesity is a major risk factor for the development of inflammatory skin diseases, including eczema, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis. Inflammatory cytokines produced from adipose tissue and activation of innate immunity are considered as important factors in obesity-induced inflammation. However, the molecular mechanisms by which obesity affects the development of inflammatory skin diseases are not well understood. In this review, we will discuss the relationship between the underlying mechanisms linking obesity and inflammatory skin diseases based on the latest researches.
La continuidad en las obras de Nietzsche a la luz de su visión de sí mismo.
Authors: García-Granero Marina
Published: March 2021

El artículo tiene como objetivo analizar críticamente la convencional división tripartita que en su forma hiperbólica se expresa en forma de personificación: el Nietzsche joven del período wagneriano, el Nietzsche “positivista” o ilustrado, y el Nietzsche maduro. Aspiro a contribuir en el alegato en favor de la continuidad, ya impulsado por reputados especialistas, prestando especial atención a lo que Nietzsche expresa sobre esta cuestión, su visión de sí mismo y auto-percepción. Se examina su reflexión sobre la vertebración de sus obras y su desarrollo, en la diversidad de los escritos, con el objetivo de mostrar cómo, aunque Nietzsche reconoce explícitamente la existencia de la fase wagneriana, prima una perspectiva que afirma la necesidad de todos los pasos, incluida la fase wagneriana, en su camino a “llegar a ser el que es”. La significativa retrospección y la constante reflexión sobre su autodesarrollo no indican ruptura o rechazo, sino reconocimiento. Dedicaremos la última sección al peculiar libro que es Ecce Homo, entendido como estrategia de auto-presentación.
Assessment of a vessel and tissue–sealing device for ovariectomy in chickens to evaluate the potential application of the procedure to other avian species

OBJECTIVE

To assess the feasibility of a novel technique involving a vessel and tissue–sealing device (VTSD) for ovariectomy in chickens to evaluate the potential application of the procedure to other avian species.

ANIMALS

20 domestic laying hens (Gallus domesticus), of which 10 were immature (< 4 months old) and 10 were adults (> 18 months old).

PROCEDURES

Ovariectomy was performed with a VTSD through a left lateral celiotomy. Birds were allowed to recover for 14 days after the procedure and then were euthanized for necropsy. A board-certified veterinary pathologist performed complete necropsies, with particular attention to identifying any remaining ovarian tissue.

RESULTS

All birds survived the procedure. For the mature and juvenile birds, the mean ± SD durations of anesthesia (interval from intubation to extubation) were 67.2 ± 7.6 minutes and 50.5 ± 5.1 minutes, respectively, and mean durations of surgery were 45.3 ± 8.5 minutes and 31.6 ± 5.1 minutes, respectively. Three birds had severe hemorrhage during ovariectomy. At necropsy, ovarian tissue was present grossly in 2 mature birds and histologically in 6 additional birds (2 mature and 4 juvenile birds), indicating incomplete excision in 8 (40%) birds.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results indicated that the evaluated VTSD can be used to successfully perform ovariectomies in both juvenile and mature chickens, although the procedure was associated with major hemorrhage and incomplete excision of ovarian tissue in some cases. Use of this VTSD for ovariectomy in birds of other species, particularly birds with reproductive tract disease, should be investigated.
