Objetivou-se avaliar ensilagem de grão de milho reidratado em diferentes granulometrias sobre características de perdas por gases e efluentes, e recuperação de matéria seca, como também características químicas após abertura do silo. O delineamento experimental é o inteiramente casualizado com cinco tratamentos e quatros repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram em cinco diferentes granulometrias do grão de milho, obtido através da moagem em moinho tipo martelo, com peneiras de granulometria de 0.8 mm, 3 mm, 10 mm, e a moagem sem a utilização de peneiras de retenção, e o grão inteiro (não moído). A após a moagem, foram reidratados com água até atingir um teor de umidade entre 32 a 36%, em seguida, ensilados em cano de canos de PVC (10 cm de diâmetro e 50 cm de comprimento, com capacidade para, aproximadamente, 2,50 kg de silagem (600 kg/m3)), por 240 dias. Após a abertura dos silos, foram avaliadas as perdas de gases e efluentes, recuperação de matéria seca, pH, amônia, e a composição química-bromatológica. Os teores de matéria seca foram menores para os processamentos mais intensivos, com menor granulometria. Deste mesmo modo, observa-se que quanto ao teor de proteína bruta, os grãos de milho moído foram inferiores quando comparados com os grãos não moídos. Os valores de fibra insolúvel em detergente neutro não foram alterados. As concentrações de N-amoniacal foram maiores para os grãos de milho moídos comparado ao grão inteiro. Os tratamentos G 0.08 e G 3.0 obtiveram os menores valores de pH. Não houve diferenças nas perdas por gases entres os tratamentos, a produção de gases. Observa-se que grãos de milho com moagem mais intensiva, proporcionaram menores perdas por efluentes. A recuperação de matéria seca ficou mais evidente nos tratamentos G 0.8, G 3.0 e G 10.0. A redução da granulometria do grão de milho favorece melhores características da conservação do material ensilado, de maneira, que se recomenda a utilização de peneiras de 0,8 e 3,0 mm para moagem de grão de milho que serão reidratados e ensilados.

Published: October 2024

The prevalence of gallstone disease is influenced by factors such as age, gender, and marital status. Ultrasonography is important for screening. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the standard treatment for symptomatic cholelithiasis, but some cases may require conversion to open surgery (OC). Preoperative ultrasound assessments, particularly the common bile duct (CBD) diameter, may help predict the difficulty of LC and prepare for potential complications. Objective: The objectives of this study are to assess the frequency of easy and difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with cholelithiasis and to compare the mean diameter of the common bile duct between cases of easy and difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: This sctional study was conducted from February 10, 2023, to August 10, 2023, and included 170 patients (ages 18-60 years) undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis. Both genders were included. Variables such as age, gender, diabetes, hypertension, and cholecystectomy status were recorded. The mean and standard deviation (SD) were calculated for age and CBD diameter. An independent t-test was used to compare CBD diameters between easy and difficult LC cases. Chi-square tests were applied to control for effect modifiers. Results: The mean age of the patients was 52.32 ± 4.89 years. Other patient characteristics included an average height of 162.90 ± 9.25 cm, weight of 75.95 ± 12.32 kg, and BMI of 27.47 ± 4.72. The common bile duct diameter was 4.55 ± 1.42 mm. Gender distribution showed 54.7% male and 45.3% female patients. Of the 170 patients, 84 (49.4%) were classified as easy LC cases, while 86 (50.6%) were classified as difficult. The mean CBD diameter was significantly different between the two groups, measuring 3.54 ± 1.03 mm in easy cases and 5.52 ± 1.02 mm in difficult cases (p = 0.001). Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of preoperative assessment of common bile duct diameter in predicting the difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients with a larger CBD diameter are more likely to experience a difficult LC, emphasizing the need for personalized surgical planning. These findings underscore the value of preoperative ultrasonography in optimizing patient outcomes and reducing the risk of conversion to open surgery.

Authors: imusi Nejra , Livnjak Amela , Alagi D
Published: October 2024

Hematological parameters serve as vital diagnostic tools in veterinary medicine, aiding in the identification of various diseases and metabolic conditions in animals. However, their reliability can be influenced by a multitude of factors, including storage conditions and duration. Pre-analytical errors, which account for up to 70% of laboratory diagnostic errors, primarily stem from issues such as sample collection, transportation, and storage. To address this, the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine-Working Group for the Preanalytical Phase conducted a survey to understand pre-analytical practices among human laboratories. Despite significant interest, diversity in monitoring approaches was noted among European laboratories. The complete blood count (CBC) stands as a frequently requested test by veterinarians, but its accuracy can be affected by pre-analytical variables like storage temperature and delay in analysis. This study aimed to assess the stability of hematological parameters in feline blood samples stored at different temperatures (4°C and 20°C) for up to 48 hours.
Ten clinically healthy cats were included in the study, with blood samples collected and analyzed immediately and at various time points over 48 hours. Results showed stability in hemoglobin concentration for 48 hours at both temperatures. However, RBC and PCV values increased significantly after 24 hours at 20°C. MCV, MCH, and MCHC values remained relatively stable over time, with minor fluctuations. Notably, WBC counts declined significantly after 48 hours at 20°C, while no significant changes were observed at 4°C. These findings underscore the importance of prompt analysis and appropriate storage conditions in maintaining the integrity of hematological parameters in veterinary practice.
In conclusion, blood samples from cats stored at 4°C remain reliable for up to 48 hours for most hematological parameters, while samples stored at 20°C are suitable for up to 24 hours. These findings provide valuable insights for veterinarians and laboratory professionals, emphasizing the need for standardized pre-analytical practices to ensure accurate diagnostic results in veterinary hematology.

Abstract:
A Granulomas can appear in a variety of pathological situations. So, recognizing the granulomatous pattern is essential. because it is confined to a limited number of disorders, some of which are life-threatening. There is little pathological data on the cells that contribute to the formation of granulomas in camels.
This study identified cells associated with granulomatous disorder based on histological findings. The intestinal tissues were brought to the Pathology Department, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Aswan University, with intestinal lesions for histological evaluation. One case of epithelioid granuloma in the small intestine of dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius) was detected by histopathological examination.
There is a central zone of necrosis. Necrotic material is amorphous, structureless, eosinophilic, and granular debris with lost cellular features. surrounded by epithelioid cells and connective tissue, which contains lymphocytes, macrophages, and plasma cells. Epithelioid cells have a polygonal, faintly granular cytoplasm. Epithelioid cells have ill-defined cell borders and elongated or ovoid vesicular central nuclei.

Published: October 2024

Heat stress typically causes substantial financial losses because it lowers animal performance, morbidity, and mortality. It is essential to comprehend the physiological reactions and biochemical alterations through different body homeostasis during various environmental seasons to prevent harmful impacts of heat stress. Objective of this experiment was to evaluate the different seasonal dynamics of the Egyptian buffaloes' oxidative, hormonal, metabolic and physiological responses to the country's summer season climate. Throughout the year, the physiological reactions of twenty lactating water buffaloes were measured. These responses included rectal temperature (RT), respiration rate (RR) and body surface temperature (BST), in addition to serum hormonal, oxidative/antioxidant, and metabolic indices. Significant increases in RR and BST were detected in summer season in relation to winter season when the temperature-humidity index (THI) was higher (>80). The heat stress during the summer season was associated with lower serum antioxidant enzyme levels and higher oxidative stress. Serum cortisol and hepato-renal functional bio-indicators were also significantly elevated in the summer and autumn. In comparison to former seasons, the levels of growth hormone (GH), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) were also much reduced in the autumn and summer. THI was found to have a negative relation with physiological and antioxidant indices, but a positive relation with serum cortisol and malondialdahyde (MDA) levels. According to our findings, lactating Egyptian buffaloes have considerable heat stress during the summer season, which necessitates greater managerial measures to prevent animal welfare concerns and economic losses.

Published: October 2024

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) connotes the responsibility of a business towards social welfare and an ethical approach to sustainable developments along with profit enhancement. The paper aims at critically observing how CSR relates with law and proposes a comparative study of CSR structures across those nations. Special attention has been paid to India's Companies Act, 2013, which made CSR mandatory for most companies, thus giving it an edge over other countries where CSR remains generally a voluntary responsibility. It covers the main challenges and controversies of CSR as a mandatory piece of legislation; for example, the variations in the approaches by private and public companies in the implementation of CSR. The research weighs the impact CSR laws have on corporate governance, customer satisfaction, and corporate reputation and stakeholder relations. Based on the broad flexibilities that include the potential misuse in the regulation of CSR, the paper brings forward an idea putting forward increased transparency and accountability. In summary, the findings suggest sending recommendations to policymakers, businesses, and stakeholders that there is an urgent need to strengthen auditing measures, exert greater oversight on the integrity of third-party implementers, and conduct impact assessments both before and after the implementation of projects. Findings have especially focused on issues in the global business environment concerning ensuring CSR as an ethical and legal obligation for business success, trust building, and sustainability.

Published: October 2024

An RFID attendance system is a system that uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to track and record attendance. RFID tags are small electronic devices that store a unique identifier. When an RFID tag is brought near an RFID reader, the reader can read the identifier and send it to a computer. The computer can then use the identifier to look up the corresponding person's attendance record. An RFID attendance system is an automated system that uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to track and record employee attendance. It consists of two main components: RFID tags and RFID readers. RFID tags are small electronic devices that store a unique identifier. They are typically attached to employee badges or cards. RFID readers are devices that can read the unique identifiers stored on RFID tags. They are typically installed at entry points to buildings or rooms. When an employee enters a building or room, they must present their RFID badge or card to an RFID reader. The reader will read the unique identifier stored on the tag and send it to a computer. The computer will then use the identifier to look up the employee's attendance record. If the employee is not already clocked in, they will be clocked in. If the employee is already clocked in, they will be clocked out.

Published: October 2024

Abstract: This paper aims to describe, infer and interpret the corpus of references extracted from the book “Diplomacy, Organisations and Citizens. A European Communication Perspective” (Sebastião & Spínola, 2022), a collective volume published as an output of a three-year research and educational project exploring the intersection of public relations with public, organisational and civil society diplo¬macy, from a European perspective. A mixed methods approach of quantita¬tive and statistical techniques in conjunction with social network analysis (SNA) was applied to a corpus formed out of 785 unique entries corresponding to the book references. Borrowing from bibliometric approaches, the techniques of di¬rect citation networks, co-citation networks, and topic networks were used to map perspectives used in the book. Results point to a clear linguistic preference for English, to a saliency of journal articles overlapping with the increase in re¬search accessibility through digitalisation, to a clear dominance of a few journals coming from the fields of public relations and public diplomacy, and to a clear alignment of the perspectives on public, organisational and civil society diplo¬macy at the intersection of public relations and diplomacy, albeit from a debatable European perspective. The research is relevant to any scholar or practitioner in¬terested in how public relations and the democratised forms of diplomacy intersect and influence each other. It can also serve as a roadmap to how the explo¬ration of the bibliographical universe of a research project can be used as a self-reflection and evaluation tool. Keywords: public relations, public diplomacy, organisational diplomacy, civil society diplomacy, bibliography, social network analysis.

Abstract: Comparative analysis is conducted between the Bulgarian film “A 33-Year-Old Woman” (1982) and the Korean film “Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982” (2019), as well as the Korean novel (2016) on which it was based. The focus is on the parallels and the differences between the artistic realizations of the protagonists which share the same age, the same gender, the same parent status (mothers of daughters). I explore how images were constructed which claim common validity for certain social and historical conditions. The aim is to identify the common and the specific phenomena and processes depicted in two different and distant cul¬tures in two different historical periods in two completely different socio¬po¬litical systems (Bulgaria in 1981/1982 and South Korea in 2015/2016) through works of narrative art that have provoked exceptionally broad social response and debate. Intercultural issues are seen through the prism of feminist discourse in two dif¬ferent periods. The tumultuous public reactions to the three works of art prove their artistic relevance and their high historical value as documents of their own time.

This research aims to analyse factors that affect the tourists' intention by visiting Bangka Island, Indonesia, studying predictors that include destination publicity, awareness, image, and preference; this comprehensive approach is very rarely applied to island tourism. A total of 230 tourists were approached for participation in this study with an appropriate sampling method. The data were analysed using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling. The results revealed that destination publicity has a significant influence on destination awareness, destination image, and destination preference. However, the study found that intention to visit was significantly influenced by knowledge about the destination and perceptions of the place. Choice of destination, however, had a minimum effect on desire to visit. These findings, in addition to enhancing our understanding of consumer behaviour and destination marketing in island tourism, reiterate the importance of good publicity within a country, showing just how awareness and image impact tourists' disposition toward visiting a destination and therefore offering valuable lessons for all stakeholders in tourism. This study indicates that effective destination publicity and improved destination awareness and image can contribute to the creation of economic growth and new jobs in island destinations like Bangka Island, while at the same time enhancing forms of responsible tourism that promote sustainable use of resources and reduce negative impacts on the environment. Thus, it would have very relevant repercussions on SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, and SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.

The adoption of agricultural technology is a process that involves the participation of various stakeholders. Evaluating this process is important for identifying factors that either limit or promote the use of new technologies in rural areas. The objective of this research was to estimate the degree of adoption of compost technology, as well as the variables that influence the use of this agroecological practice among small rural producers from a field school in the municipality of San Mateo Piñas, Oaxaca, Mexico. Using probabilistic sampling, 36 producers from a field school focused on coffee production were selected. A questionnaire was applied, covering topics related to socioeconomic and productive aspects, along with a technical sheet to evaluate the variables related to the adoption of compost. A total of 96% of producers reported being familiar with the technology, 88% had prepared and tested it in the field, and 54% had adopted it in the coffee production process. Additionally, a positive and moderate correlation was found, with a value of r(21)=.456, p=.029, between adoption and the variable related to the individual preparation of compost. The technical support provided through the field school approach facilitated the individual adoption of compost technology and identified areas of opportunity that could allow for greater degrees of adoption of new technologies.
Introduction: The ECPS Project ‘Populism and the European Parliament Elections 2024’

This report analyzes the performances and impact of populist parties in the 2024 European elections. Drawing from the analyses of country experts, we provide an account of how populist parties across the spectrum performed in each of the EU’s 27 member states, looking at the campaign, issues and demand for populist politics in each country separately and the challenges that populist party success more broadly bears for the future of the EU. In this introductory chapter, we briefly define populism, provide a topographic map of populist parties across all EU member states ahead of the 2024 European elections, and review the main drivers of populism identified in the literature. We then turn more specifically to the general context and outcome of the 2024 EP election, assessing the hypothesis of another ‘populist wave’ while also looking back at the 2019 election to compare populist party success over time.
Rising discontent with the EU, the Rise of the Right and the 2024 European Parliament Elections in Cyprus

The objective of this chapter is to discuss the causes of rising discontent in Cyprus and assess the political outcomes. Within this framework we briefly assess how the EU has dealt with various crises in the last few years. Perceptions in Cyprus about the EU have changed over time. In the 9 June European elections, a member of the extreme right-wing party, National People’s Front (Ethniko Laiko Metopo, ELAM), was elected for the first time to the European Parliament. Understanding the circumstances in Cyprus that have gradually led to disillusionment with the national political system and the EU is essential to making sense of these developments. Keywords: Cyprus; extreme right; economic crisis; voter disillusionment; European elections
The Race of Populists: The 2024 EP Elections in the Czech Republic

The chapter analyses the performance of populist political parties in the 2024 EP election in the Czech Republic. The election ended with a significant increase in support for several populist parties: Action of Dissatisfied Citizens, Freedom and Direct Democracy and the Oath and Motorists. All populist parties used radical-right rhetoric before the election, expressing different levels of criticism of the European Union, strong anti-immigration attitudes and negative attitudes toward the Green Deal. The preliminary data show that the electoral support for the populists was based on a higher level of mobilization in so-called peripheral areas of the Czech Republic, potentially affected by recent inflation and austerity policies pursued by the government. All in all, the 2024 EP election in Czechia significantly increased support for populist political parties. Keywords: populism; Czech Republic; Euroscepticism; far right; radical right
Populism in the 2024 European Parliament Elections in Estonia

Although past European Parliament (EP) elections in Estonia have witnessed the success of an anti-establishment candidate, Estonian EP elections are not generally fertile soil for populism. Estonian EP elections tend to be dominated by the liberal and progressive parties and candidates with notable foreign policy track records. The 2024 EP elections generally confirmed this pattern but also witnessed the conservative parties running on a second-order election agenda critical of the government and parties both on the right and left-wing edges of the spectrum tapping into the small but nonetheless committed pool of Eurosceptic voters. Moreover, most parties made use of the stylistic repertoires of populism, attempting to perform various crises. While the election results changed little in the overall composition of the Estonian MEP delegation, the events unravelling immediately after the election suggest that the Estonian populist radical right will become more diverse but also more isolated from its sibling parties on the European level.
