Między "Cyrulikiem sewilskim" a "Pierścieniem Nibelunga". Przyczynek do muzycznej refleksji o pieniądzu i ekonomii twórczości
Authors: Siechowicz Paweł
Published: November 2022

The article is an invitation to reflect on the theme of money and the role of economic incentives in the creative act. Pointing to the abundant presence of the theme of money in opera plots, the author proposes to study the economics of creativity of particular composers taking account of the various valuations of money expressed in their works. The ground for such reflection is set forth by the comparison of two operas that express two extreme views on money and its role for creativity: Gioacchino Rossini’s The Barber of Seville and Richard Wagner’s The Ring of the Nibelung. Comparing different ways in which Figaro and Alberich approach money provides a starting point for the comparison of two creative acts that can be found in the two works: Figaro’s invention of a creative solution for Almaviva’s problem (affirmation of money) and Siegfried’s forging of a sword accompanied by Mime’s efforts to make a sleeping potion (rejection of money). The analysis of the musical form of the two scenes, however, shows the indebtedness of Wagner to Rossini. Although Wagner openly rejects the musical principles of his Italian predecessor, the dramaturgy of his music is based on the dramaturgical formulas developed in Italian operas. The two approaches towards money can be linked to the opposing views of Adam Smith and Karl Marx regarded as fathers of the classical and Marxian schools of political economy. Thus, the two operas can be seen as border posts of the territory in which music and economy intersect.
Siglind Bruhn i pieśniowe symfonie o przemijaniu
Authors: Trzęsiok Marcin
Published: November 2022

This article discusses Siglin Bruhn’s book “Dunkel ist das Leben”. Liedsinfonien zur Vergänglichkeit von Mahler bis Penderecki (2020). It summarises the main theses of the book, i.e., the content of the selected symphonies about transience (Mahler, Zemlinsky, Shostakovich, Penderecki) and the methodological decision to base analyses primarily on the vocal line shown in a particular typographic arrangement that reflects the formal structure of poetry. The review focuses specifically on the analyses of two late vocal symphonies by Krzysztof Penderecki (Sixths and Eighth), which Siglind Bruhn’s book subjects for the first time to such complex scholarly interpretation.
Ginący świat – "Lasy deszczowe" z cyklu "Ekomuzyka" Grażyny Pstrokońskiej-Nawratil
Authors: Bartos Katarzyna
Published: November 2022

Lasy deszczowe [Rainforests] is, as Grażyna Pstrokońska-Nawratil said, “an attempt to capture the endangered beauty, stop the increasingly rushing time, it is a symbolic and personal work”. The piece came into being in 2013. The inspiration for the structure of this composition was ancient tragedy. In the case of Lasy deszczowe, the main characters, whose fate was sealed, are elements of nature – trees, humming birds and river. The composer wanted to depict one day from a rainforest’s life – from the time before daybreak till twilight. This article will discuss the genesis of the composition, musical and nonmusical media of programmacity, as well as narration in this concerto.
PoRi device: portable hand assessment and rehabilitation after stroke
Authors: Wolf Karl , Mayr Andreas , Nagiller Marco , Saltuari Leopold , Harders Matthias , Kim Yeongmi
Published: November 2022

Frequent rehabilitation exercises can accelerate the recovery of patient’s hand impairments after stroke. In conjunction with conventional therapy, the use of robot-assisted training has been proposed to increase the frequency of the latter, thus improving the overall recovery of patients. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has reduced or even halted related programs in clinical rehabilitation centers that often utilize costly, complex, and non-transportable robotic devices. A possible therapy alternative is using low-cost in-home solutions which integrate well in home-based settings due to reduced size, weight, and complexity. Therefore, we propose a new portable hand training and assessment device which supports hand opening/closing and wrist exercises. The device also enables tasks related to the identification of vibration stimuli to be used both for training as well as for assessment of sensory-motor hand function of patients. To this end, a cable-driven capstan transmission mechanism, a controller to regulate the extension angle, and touch pads equipped with vibration motors were designed and integrated into a hand-held device. Initial user studies indicate that the prototype can support stroke patients in extending their fingers. In further experiments targeting the identification of vibration stimuli, assessment results comparable with those obtained via a standard clinical somatosensory assessment test were achieved. Given these initial findings, our low-cost system shows the potential to allow in-home rehabilitation exercises in daily life, thus maximizing exposure and frequency, even during a forced lockdown caused by a pandemic.

Published: November 2022

We study symmetric minimal surfaces in the three-dimensional Heisenberg group Nil3using the generalized Weierstrass type representation, the so-called loop group method. In particular, we will present a general scheme for how to construct minimal surfaces in Nil3with non-trivial geometry. Special emphasis will be put on equivariant minimal surfaces. Moreover, we will classify equivariant minimal surfaces given by one-parameter subgroups of the isometry group Iso◦(Nil3) of Nil3.

This work intended to formulate bio-nanocomposites of zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium oxide (TiO2), chitosan, and escin, characterize their physical properties, and evaluate their antimicrobial and anticancer properties. X-ray diffractometers (XRD) and scanning and transmission electron microscopes were applied to characterize the morphology and ultrastructure of chemically synthesized bio-nanocomposites. To investigate the functional groups of bio-nanocomposites, we used Perkin–Elmer spectrometers for Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy for PL spectrum analysis. Antimicrobial activities against bacterial and fungal strains were tested with agar well diffusion. Bio-nanocomposites were tested for anticancer effects on a MOLT4 blood cancer cell line using morphological analysis, methyl thiazole tetrazolium assay, apoptosis by acridine orange/ethidium bromide, and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). In XRD, FTIR, and PL, the active compounds of ZnO–TiO2, chitosan, and escin peaks were observed. Our bio-nanocomposites demonstrated antimicrobial activity against bacterial and fungal pathogens. The bio-nanocomposite was cytotoxic to MOLT4 cells at an IC50 concentration of 33.4 µg·mL−1. Bio-nanocomposites caused cytotoxicity, changes in cell morphology, and mitochondrial membrane potential degradation, all of which resulted in apoptotic cell death. MOLT4 cells were found to be responsive to bio-nanocomposites based on ZnO–TiO2–chitosan–escin.
Time related changes of affective dimensions and distinct emotions in the interaction with a tablet PC
Authors: Brandenburg Stefan , Spang Robert
Published: November 2022

Examining peoples’ affect and emotions over time and their effects on peoples’ behavior are ongoing endeavors in human-computer-interaction (HCI) research. This paper reports an experiment in which participants watched either positive or negative film clips on a tablet PC to enter a positive or negative affective state. Successively, they accomplished four basic system interaction tasks like changing fonts of an app on the same device. Results show that, in line with previous studies, peoples’ general valence ratings quickly reverted to neutral when starting the task accomplishment. At the level of distinct positive emotions, participants’ ratings of hope, joy, and serenity decreased after watching negative film clips. Moreover, amusement, love, and serenity decreased during the interaction with the tablet PC. Amongst the negative emotions, only ratings of sadness increased after watching negative film clips and decreased again after the interaction. Also, participants in the positive film group were slower in executing one of the basic tasks than participants in the negative film group. The findings suggest that only few emotions may be causal for peoples’ ratings of general affect. Results also indicate that negative emotions may help people executing standard tasks, in contrast to positive emotions. Implications for HCI design and research are discussed.

Authors: Shihab Jenan M. , Rashid Khalid T. , Toma M. A.
Published: November 2022

In current paper, a comprehensive review to contribute the present insight an implementations and the recent improvements through the diverse endeavor made by the researchers utilizing a membrane technique for degumming, deacidifying, dewaxing and discoloration edible vegetable oils with and without solvent availability and also the solvent recovery has been evaluated. Endeavors made with NF, UF, MF and non-porous membranes, have shown the capability of these membranes to predicate vegetable oil treatment. A membrane technique is noticeably simple and potentially provides many usefulness in vegetable oil purification. It appears that oils treatment with membranes, which carried out at low temperatures that provides saving energy, with real cancellation of stages, provides a promising alternate to conventional procedure, towards the accomplishment of eco-friendly and cost-effective operations that are technically sophisticated. Generally, the solvent (hexane-dilution) technique enhances the membrane oil flux. For dewaxing undiluted vegetable oils, the effective membrane was MF, whereas in dewaxing solvent-diluted oils process UF membranes were more energetic.
Disquiet concerning cesarean birth
Authors: Cohen Wayne R. , Robson Michael S. , Bedrick Alan D.
Published: November 2022

Cesarean birth has increased substantially in many parts of the world over recent decades and concerns have been raised about the propriety of this change in obstetric practice. Sometimes, a cesarean is necessary to preserve fetal and maternal health. But in balancing the risks of surgical intervention the implicit assumption has been that cesarean birth is an equivalent alternative to vaginal birth from the standpoint of the immediate and long-term health of the fetus and neonate. Increasingly, we realize this is not necessarily so. Delivery mode per se may influence short-term and abiding problems with homeostasis in offspring, quite independent of the indications for the delivery and other potentially confounding factors. The probability of developing various disorders, including respiratory compromise, obesity, immune dysfunction, and neurobehavioral disorders has been shown in some studies to be higher among individuals born by cesarean. Moreover, many of these adverse effects are not confined to the neonatal period and may develop over many years. Although the associations between delivery mode and long-term health are persuasive, their pathogenesis and causality remain uncertain. Full exploration and a clear understanding of these relationships is of great importance to the health of offspring.
The Gun and the Paperweight: Risk Control Services and Disservices
Authors: Fennell Lee Anne
Published: November 2022

Suppose a legal rule makes it negligent to have a loaded gun out in the open in a place of business. Should a defendant who violated this rule by using a loaded gun as a paperweight be liable for his client’s broken toes when the gun falls onto her foot? Problems manifesting this basic structure have occupied scholars and Restatement reporters for decades. In this essay, I reframe untaken precautions as a bundle of risk control services, each of which counteracts a particular risky element, like “shooting capacity” or “heaviness” in the case of the gun. Tort law ought to induce actors to produce all, and only, the risk control services that are worth the cost of providing. Cashing out that prescription is tricky because precautions often jointly provide multiple risk mitigation services, and more than one precaution may meet the legal standard. Nonetheless, the task becomes tractable if we examine the cost structure of precautions — and, analogizing to break-even analysis for products, identify which risk control services contribute to rather than detract from a precaution’s bottom line. The risk services framework partially redeems but also revises harm-within-the-risk and negligence per se doctrines that limit negligence liability based on the type of danger or category of victim involved in a given accident. By enabling us to assess which ostensible risk control services are really societal disservices, this approach provides a firmer basis for calibrating the scope of liability.
Natural and anthropogenic radionuclides in karstic coastal area (Kaštela Bay, Adriatic Sea, Croatia) exposed to anthropogenic activities: distribution, sources, and influencing factors
Authors: Lovrenčić Mikelić Ivanka , Barišić Delko
Published: November 2022

40K, 226Ra, 232Th, 238U, and 137Cs massic activities were determined by gamma-spectrometry in limestones, marls, stream sediments, and soils of Kaštela Bay (Adriatic Sea, Croatia) coastal area. Their distribution, sources and potential influencing factors were studied. The lowest 40K, 226Ra, 232Th, and 238U massic activities were determined in limestones and the highest in soils, with the following median values, respectively: 7.2, 14, 0.8, and 5.3 Bq/kg in limestones and 518, 72, 71, and 31 Bq/kg in soils. All four radionuclides were of natural origin and reflected background values of the karstic area influenced by flysch/marl and terra rossa soil. Local TENORM disposal site did not influence the study area, but it will be needed to study its potential influence on marine sediments. Strong disequilibrium between 226Ra and 238U was found in limestones s.l. and soils, but not in marls and only moderately in stream sediments. This implies that limestones are more susceptible to selective 238U leaching than marls, and soils more than stream sediments. 137Cs was the only radionuclide of anthropogenic origin, with a global source only. It was detected in stream sediments and soils with median values of 5.4 and 31 Bq/kg, respectively. 137Cs distribution was more heterogeneous in stream sediments than in soils, but soils generally presented higher activities. Soil is considered the most important reservoir of 137Cs and its potential source.
WeißeDeutungshoheit statt Objektivität: Der ‚objektive Dritte‘ und die systematische Abwertung rassismuserfahrener Perspektiven
Authors: González Hauck Sué
Published: November 2022

Dieser Beitrag vertritt die These, dass sich hinter einer scheinbar perspektivlosen Objektivität im Recht, wie sie in der Figur des ‚objektiven Dritten‘ zum Ausdruck kommt, eine unter dem Deckmantel der Objektivität agierendeweißePerspektive verbirgt. Zur Plausibilisierung dieser These rekapituliert der Text kurz gängige Objektivitätsverständnisse, die Objektivität vor allem in Abgrenzung zu Subjektivität definieren und mit Neutralität gleichsetzen. Unter den bestehenden Kritiken an diesem Verständnis von Objektivität werden die feministischen sozialepistemologischen Theorien von Sandra Harding, Donna Haraway und Patricia Hill Collins hervorgehoben. Dass es sich bei einer nur dem Anschein nach objektiv-neutralen, tatsächlich aber partikularen Position oft um eine spezifisch weiße handelt, wird mit Bezug auf kritische Weißseinsforschung weiter erläutert. Anschließend illustrieren Beispiele aus der Rechtsprechung, die sich der Figur des objektiven Dritten bedienen, wie Objektivität als bloße Fiktion eingesetzt und damit die dahinterstehende partikulare Perspektive verschleiert wird. Der Beitrag schließt mit einem Ausblick darauf, wie sich die als Objektivität nur getarnteweißeDeutungshoheit ersetzen lässt durch das Ideal der ‚starken Objektivität‘.
New radiocarbon dates for ornamented Mesolithic objects from north-west Poland: chronology and regional connections in the western Baltic region
Authors: Płonka Tomasz , Adamczyk Michał , Diakowski Marcin
Published: November 2022

During the northern European Mesolithic, new types of objects were ornamented with different geometric motifs. Many examples, however, are stray finds and their dating is poorly understood. The authors present new AMS radiocarbon dates for ornamented artefacts from Pomerania that contribute to an absolute chronology of Mesolithic art and allow for new consideration of connections between cultural groups in the western Baltic region. A baton, featuring an anthropomorphic figure, dates to the end of the Boreal period; three other objects date to the early Atlantic period, revealing a combination of regional and local innovations. The results demonstrate the value of absolute dating of stray finds for refining knowledge of wider cultural trends.

Living during a COVID-19 pandemic has negative effects on a person's psychophysiological state such as high-stress levels, leading to poor health, chronic fatigue and insomnia. As a result, the immunity is reduced, which is particularly dangerous today. One way to solve this problem is the use of health-saving clothing, which has additional features that provide the positive effect on the wearer’s body. The developed gloves affect the state of the human autonomic nervous system through biological-active locations in the places of the hand and wrist. An anthropometric study of the biological-active locations of the wrist and hand is performed to construct the glove design. An algorithm for constructing a drawing of the design of the designed product based on four measurements is proposed. The effectiveness of the adaptive gloves is confirmed by studying its effect on the psycho-emotional and psychophysiological state of a person without exposure to the product and after its use by software "Intera-Diacor" and "ROFES", and a questionnaire. The evaluation is performed after wearing gloves for 20-40 minutes. It was found that 83.3 % of the wearers of the health-saving gloves showed positive changes in the body's compensatory forces (stress) and the state of internal emotional fatigue. Thus, the use of health-saving gloves has a positive social, therapeutic (health-saving) and economic effect, as the product has several functions It is an accessory fashion, has hand protection, and, has additional features to positively influence the body of the person wearing it. This allows the future to talk about the use of consumer-friendly and effective ways to correct the men's psychoemotional and psychophysiological states, based on the safer-by-design concept.

The study aims to develop a method to digitize a clothing pattern without a digitizer. For this study, we address the following objectives: formulate a hypothesis of the method, describe the method’s algorithm, and perform testing and evaluation of the developed method. The idea of the developed method is as follows: digitizing the clothing patterns might be achieved without digitizer by applying modification tools of the pattern design systems to the digital simple geometrical forms constructed directly in the graphical environment of the system. Testing and evaluation of the developed method confirmed the initial hypothesis. The achieved result of the current study is the alternative method to digitize clothing patterns when it is necessary to avoid additional costs.

Published: November 2022

The compatibility of polyorganylsiloxanes and high-molecular polymers used as emulsifiers was evaluated. The surface and bulk properties of the studied compounds were evaluated using the solubility parameters (δ). It is shown that the copolymers of acrylic acid compound – polyacrylamide and hydrolyzed polyacrylamide, as well as polyvinyl alcohol without residual acetate groups in the macromolecule have the highest degree of incompatibility with polyorganylsiloxanes. It was established that the presence of residual acetate groups in the macromolecule of polyvinyl alcohol leads to an increase in the degree of compatibility of polymers. The calculated data on the fractions of solubility parameters and cohesive energy of polyorganylsiloxanes and emulsifying polymers are presented. The contributions of the components of polymers cohesive energy due to the fractions of dispersion interaction αd, dipole-dipole interaction αdd, and hydrogen bonding αh, as well as their influence on the degree of solubility of the polymer – emulsifier system, are shown. The choice of polyvinyl alcohol with residual acetate groups as an emulsifier for polyorganylsiloxanes is theoretically substantiated based on the concept of the solubility parameter as a measure of the affinity of the system components. The developed approach to assessing the compatibility of the polymer – emulsifier system is of practical importance for the creation of polymer compositions in the finishing works.
Hataw Subanen
Authors: San Diego Chiedel Joan Gula
Published: November 2022

This study aimed to identify the basic Subanen dance steps as the basis for creating an inspired Subanen dance exercise routine. Dance exercise is a well-known activity for all ages. People are passionate about doing it for them to stay fit and healthy. A descriptive method of research was used in the study in which the observation method was utilized. Purposive sampling was used to ensure the authenticity of the dance steps, which were from the true-blooded Subanen dancers. Three pairs of dancers, three musicians, and one key informant were the respondents of the study. Based on the interview and observation results, stamping or “pasagagang” steps is the basic footwork, and twisting or moving the hands and wrist circularly like doing the “kumintang”, the basic hand movement of the dance. Most of the Subanen dances are in 4/4-time signature with the counting of 1, 2, 3, & 4. Their dances usually start with slow movements, then gradually change from moderately fast to fast. “Agong” is the commonly used musical instrument in accompanying their dances. Five basic steps were identified: praise, grace, prayer, casting, and courtship. Based on the basic dance steps, a dance exercise routine called “Hataw Subanen” was created. Thus, exercise does not only use modern dance movements but also traditional or indigenous dances/movements. Hataw Subanen not only promotes a fit and healthy life, but also preserves, enhances, and harnesses one’s indigenous culture and tradition.
Entrectinib in the neoadjuvant setting of anaplastic thyroid cancer: a case report
Authors: Damásio Inês , Simões-Pereira Joana , Donato Sara , Horta Mariana , Cavaco Branca Maria , Rito Miguel , Gomes Pedro , Leite Valeriano
Published: November 2022

Background

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is one of the most aggressive solid tumors. ATC is frequently diagnosed at advanced stages with unresectable disease and palliative care is often indicated. Recently, several patient-tailored therapies for ATC are emerging due to advances in molecular profiling of these tumors. Entrectinib is a potent oral selective inhibitor of neutrotrophic tropomyosin receptor kinase (NTRK), ROS1, and anaplastic lymphoma kinase fusions. The experience regarding ATC and other thyroid carcinomas, particularly in the neoadjuvant setting, is minimal.

Case report

We present a case of a 51-year-old female patient presenting with a bulky mass of the left thyroid lobe measuring 100 × 108 × 80 mm that was considered surgically unresectable. While waiting for next-generation sequence (NGS) profiling, lenvatinib was initiated. There was an initial clinical and imagiologic response; however, progression occurred after 12 weeks, and at this time NGS identified an ETV6-NTRK3 fusion and entrectinib was started. After 12 weeks, tumor diameters reduced to a minimum of 68×60×49 mm, and the patient underwent total thyroidectomy plus central lymphadenectomy. Histological diagnosis confirmed an ATC (pT4a R2 N1a). Adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) (60 Grays) with weekly paclitaxel (45 mg/m2) was then administered followed by maintenance entrectinib 600 mg daily. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography performed 3 months after completion of RT showed only non-specific uptake in the posterior wall of the hypopharynx and larynx, suggestive of inflammation.

Conclusion

We report the first case of an ATC with a dramatic response to neoadjuvant therapy with entrectinib, which enabled surgical resection of an ab initio unresectable tumor.

Characteristics of Adult Rapid Response Events in a Freestanding Children’s Hospital
Authors: Chalam Jennifer N. , Noble Jennifer , DeLaroche Amy M. , Ehrman Robert R. , Cashen Katherine
Published: November 2022

OBJECTIVES

To describe nonhospitalized adult rapid response events (adult RREs) in a freestanding children’s hospital and examine the relationship between various demographic and clinical factors with the final patient disposition.

METHODS

We retrospectively reviewed records for nonhospitalized patients ≥18 years of age from events that occurred in a freestanding pediatric hospital between January 2011 through December 2020. We examined the relationship between adult RREs and patient demographic information, medical history, interventions, and patient disposition following an adult RRE.

RESULTS

Four hundred twenty-nine events met inclusion criteria for analysis. Most events (69%) occurred in females, 49% of events occurred in family members of patients, and 47% occurred on inpatient floor and ICU areas. The most common presenting complaint was syncope or dizziness (36%). Delivery of bad news or grief response was associated with 14% of adult RREs. Overall, 46% (n = 196) of patients were transferred to the pediatric emergency department (ED). Patients requiring acute intervention or with cardiac or neurologic past medical histories were more likely to be transferred to the pediatric ED. Acute advanced cardiac life support interventions were infrequent but, of the patients taken to the pediatric ED, 1 died, and 3 were admitted to the ICU.

CONCLUSIONS

Adult RREs are common in freestanding children’s hospitals and, although rare, some patients required critical care. Expertise in adult critical care management should be available to the rapid response team and additional training for the pediatric rapid response team in caring for adult nonpatients may be warranted.
Spread of the African spotted orchid Oeceoclades maculata in the New World
Authors: Wetterer Sarah K. , Wetterer James K.
Published: November 2022

Oeceoclades maculata (Lindl.) Lindl. (= Eulophia maculata (Lindl.) Rchb.f.) has a broad native range across tropical Africa and Madagascar. Here, we document the spread of O. maculata in the New World, using published records, herbarium specimens, photographs posted online, and our own collections. The earliest known New World record of O. maculata is from Brazil dating to before 1790. Until 1962, O. maculata was known in the New World only from South America. Since then, this species has spread north through Central America into Mexico and across the West Indies to Florida and the Bahamas. It was first found in Florida in 1974, and until 1994 all Florida records of O. maculata were restricted to Miami-Dade County (except one record of greenhouse escapees in Gainesville). Here, we document O. maculata records from the following geographic areas in the New World: 11 South American countries (all except Chile and Uruguay), all 7 Central American countries, Mexico, 22 West Indian island-groups, and Florida. We also document records from 31 counties in peninsular Florida. Oeceoclades maculata has now been recorded in the New World from northeastern Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (~28.5°S) and Estancia Santa Teresa, Corrientes, Argentina (28.0°S) in the south, to Gainesville (29.7°N) and Palm Coast, Florida (29.6°N) in the north. A report of O. maculata populations in Gainesville dying out after a hard frost suggests that this species may have reached its northern outdoor limit in peninsular Florida. Although its impact on native species in the New World appears to be minor, there are efforts to eradicate O. maculata in some natural areas.

La fertilización nitrogenada de pasturas es una práctica agronómica utilizada para incrementar el rendimiento en forrajes. En esta investigación se revisó literatura en distintos países de América con el objetivo de identificar el efecto de la fertilización nitrogenada inorgánica y orgánica en distintas dosificaciones sobre la producción y calidad de pastos del género Cynodon. La información se analizó agrupando el tipo de fertilizante y las dosis de uso de nitrógeno (N). En los fertilizantes inorgánicos se encontraron rangos de dosificación entre 25 hasta los 400 kg N/ha por año. La información se relacionó con la respuesta productiva de los pastos del género Cynodon en términos de producción de biomasa fresca y seca; materia seca (%MS); proteína cruda (%PC); fibra detergente neutra (%FDN); fibra detergente ácida (%FDA) y digestibilidad in vitro de la materia seca (%DIVMS). La producción de MS fue mayor para fertilizantes orgánicos. La PC fue superior para aplicaciones de nitrógeno en dosis mayores a 201 kg N/ha y tratamientos orgánicos El porcentaje de MS fue más grande para dosis de N de 101-200 kg N/ha (27,4%). La FDA y la FDN obtuvieron menores valores para dosis de N >201 kg N/ha (63,3% y 31,7%). La digestibilidad in vitro de la materia seca presentó valores superiores para dosis de N de 25-100 kg N/ha. La producción de biomasa fresca fue mayor para los fertilizantes orgánicos (13 723 kg N/ha). La altura de la planta tuvo valores similares para fertilizantes orgánicos y para tratamientos de N de 25-100 kg N/ha (40,90 cm y 40,78 cm). Debido al comportamiento diverso para las variables productivas, nutricionales y fisiológicas presentadas en esta revisión, los productores deben establecer parámetros con base en los objetivos del sistema con el fin de poder elegir dosis y tipo de fertilizante que se ajusten a las necesidades de sus pasturas.

Los aspectos que constituyen el bienestar animal son complejos y multidimensionales. La primera semana de vida es crítica en el desarrollo de los pollos, y los problemas de bienestar son el resultado de una acumulación de factores que comprometen al animal individual y la parvada. El objetivo del trabajo fue identificar indicadores ambientales, de alojamiento, de salud y de comportamiento, para conocer su relación con el bienestar de pollos en granjas comerciales en la primera semana de vida. Se estudió el efecto de múltiples indicadores sobre las variables de bienestar: mortalidad, selección, temperatura corporal, cojeras, rasguños, pododermatitis y rendimientos productivos. Para reducir la complejidad de los factores estudiados se realizó un análisis de componentes principales (CP). Para comprender las relaciones entre los CP y las variables de bienestar animal, se realizaron análisis de correlación y de regresión con los CP como variables regresoras. Se evaluaron 15 granjas comerciales ubicadas en la zona norte y central de Costa Rica durante los meses de enero a julio del 2019. El análisis redujo la complejidad de los indicadores a siete variables: productivas: enfermedad, integridad de piel y patas, densidad, recursos, ambiente y comportamiento. Los CP que mejor describieron la variabilidad en el bienestar fueron: comportamiento, integridad de piel y patas, densidad, enfermedad y recursos. Los modelos que mejor explicaron la relación fueron los que incluyeron el CP de producción y salud; alojamiento y comportamiento; salud y alojamiento; densidad y comportamiento; y enfermedad y alojamiento. La cama húmeda mostró diferencias significativas (p<0.05) en las variables de bienestar, no obstante, la mayoría de las granjas evaluadas tuvieron buena calificación en la integridad de piel y patas. El abordaje de componentes principales permitió la identificación de los principales factores que afectaron el bienestar de los pollos durante la primera semana de edad: calefacción, calidad de cama, enfermedad, disponibilidad de recursos, ambiente y comportamientos de motivación. Además, permitió realizar una clasificación de las granjas de acuerdo con su grado de asociación con las variables de salud.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar los efectos de tres niveles de sustitución del consumo de materia seca de alimento balanceado por lombriz roja (Eisenia foetida) sobre parámetros zootécnicos y la composición tisular en los estadios iniciales de tilapia aurea (Oreochromis aureus). El estudio se llevó a cabo entre agosto y octubre del 2020, en el Módulo de Investigación Acuícola de la Estación Experimental Alfredo Volio Mata de la Universidad de Costa Rica (Cartago, Costa Rica), y tuvo una duración de 46 días, con un fotoperiodo de 12 h/12 h utilizando un control de luz artificial. Se establecieron 12 peceras con un total de ocho tilapias reversadas hormonalmente en cada una, de un peso inicial de 3,25 ± 0,35 g. Las lombrices se obtuvieron del módulo de vermicompost de la misma unidad académica, donde fueron deshidratadas por convección de calor para uso experimental. Se utilizó un diseño completamente aleatorizado de un factor y tres repeticiones por nivel con cuatro tratamientos: el Tratamiento Control (T0) y tres tratamientos de sustitución de alimento balanceado por lombriz deshidratada, en porcentajes de 25 % (T1), 50 % (T2) y 75 % (T3) de la materia seca. Se anestesiaron los peces cada dos semanas, para evaluar los parámetros de ganancia de peso total (GPT), incremento de longitud estándar (iSL), factor de condición (K), tasa de crecimiento específico (TCE), tasa de conversión alimenticia (FCR), tasa de eficiencia proteica (PER) y mortalidad acumulada. Al finalizar el experimento, se evaluó la composición bioquímica de los peces; la composición química no mostró diferencias significativas por tratamiento, esta no fue afectada por la sustitución con lombriz deshidratada. Se obtuvieron diferencias significativas entre el tratamiento T3 y el T0, para GPT, iSL, TCE, FCR y PER al final del ensayo, y se determinó que puede brindarse hasta un 50 % de lombriz en la ración diaria para los alevines, sin afectar dichos parámetros. Sin embargo, es necesario realizar más investigaciones en aspectos relevantes del uso de la lombriz como insumo nutricional, tales como: digestibilidad, propiedades antinutricionales y un mayor detalle en el perfilado nutricional.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar el efecto de la inclusión de Tithonia diversifolia sobre las características físicas, fermentativas y nutricionales de los ensilados de pasto Cuba OM22 con guineo cuadrado. El estudio se llevó a cabo entre setiembre del 2020 y julio del 2021. Se utilizó un diseño irrestricto completamente al azar donde se mezclaron pasto Cuba OM22 con botón de oro (Tithonia diversifolia) en las proporciones porcentuales 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25 y 100:0. A estas mezclas proporcionadas se les agregó 10% de Musa sp. y 5% de melaza en base fresca. El ensilaje se desarrolló en microsilos de bolsa plástica de 5 kg con cierre hermético durante 60 días. Se encontró que el forraje de T. diversifolia afecta las características físicas de los ensilados, sobre todo en color y textura; mientras que el pH no fue diferente entre los tratamientos. La concentración de materia seca disminuyó al igual que la fibra detergente neutro (FDN) y la fibra detergente neutro digestible (dFDN). Por otra parte, la T. diversifolia aumentó los contenidos de proteína Cruda (PC) y carbohidratos no fibrosos (CNF). El incremento encontrado fue de 0,5 puntos porcentuales en la PC, en los CNF el aumento fue de 4,25 puntos porcentuales y la FDN se redujo a razón de 5 puntos. En todos los casos, por cada incremento de 25% en la inclusión de T. diversifolia; estos efectos se reflejaron en un aumento de la cantidad de nutrientes digestibles de los ensilados. En conclusión, la inclusión de T. diversifolia permitió mejorar la calidad nutricional de los ensilados sin afectar el proceso fermentativo, aunque su calidad física sí pudo verse afectada debido a la mayor humedad que posee el forraje de esta arbustiva.

Ang pag-aaral ay pinamagatang Pagsusuri sa mga Piling Maikling Kuwento ni Liwayway Arceo. Nilalayong masuri ang elementong nangingibabaw; temang napapaloob, at makabuluhang tampok sa mga piling maikling kuwento. Ginamit sa pag-aaral ang desinyong palarawan sa paraang pagsusuring pangnilalaman sapagkat nilalayong matuklasan, mailarawan, masuri at mabigyang pagpapakahulugan ang taglay na mga elemento ng piling maikling kuwento. Ang pag-aaral ay nakaangkla sa mga teoryang mimetikoni Plato, teoryang kognitib ni Piaget, teoryang constructivismni Bruner, at Social Learning Theory ni Bandura. Natuklasan sa pag-aaral na nangingibabaw ang mga elementong pampanitikan sa piling maikling kuwento. Pumapaksa sa iba’t ibang sitwasyon at realidad na nagaganap sa buhay. Namayani ang babae bilang pangunahing tauhan. Kalimitang nasa loob at labas ng tahanan ang tagpuan ng mga kuwento. Sa tunggalian, namayani ang tao laban sa tao. Nanguna ang himig na kalungkutan at lihim na hinanakit upang mas maipahayag ang damdamin. Sa simbolismo, mayroong iba’t ibang ginamit na bagay na nag-iiwan ng mas malalim na pagpapakahulugan. Unang at ikatlong panauhang pananaw ang ginamit sa kuwento. Ang estilo ng paglalahad ng kuwento ay pagsasalaysay, paglalarawan at pagdadiyalogo. Sa pagbuo ng isang maikling kuwento, kailangan ang mga elementong pampanitikan upang maisakatuparan ang paglalarawan ng mga katangiang nais iparating sa mga mambabasa, Taglay din ng isang maikling kuwento ang mga nasabing elementong pampanitikan sapagkat ang mga ito ang nagpapalitaw ng kagandanhan sa isang likhang sining katulad na lamang ng maikling kuwento.  Iminungkahi na ipaalam at magsagawa ng paglalahad ng papel sa kinauukulan ng paaralan ang kinalabasan ng pag-aaral na ito na higit na kilalanin ng mga guro ang may-akda ng maikling kuwentong; gawing hamon ang pagtuturo ng maikling kuwento; at ilakip ang mga natipong maikling kuwentongsinuri sa mga aralin sapagtuturo ng Junior High School.
