Published: March 2021

IN two separate experiments dried poultry waste (DPW) from caged-layer units was evaluated as a protein supplement for small ruminants. In experiment 1, nine goats divided into three groups of three animals each were randomly assigned to three diets containing 0,25, and 30% DPW in three periods of 17 days per period. Experiment 2 involved eight sheep, six of which were grazed and in addition fed in pairs to each of three diets containing 0, 20 and 30% DPW over a period of 12 weeks. The remaining two sheep were maintained solely on grazing during the same period of time.  Dry matter intake and digestibilities of dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, other extract as well as liveweight gains and feed efficiency were not significantly different among the different treatments in experiment 1. Digestibility of nitrogen free extract was however significantly (P 0.05) different. In experiment 2, the control diet was consumed significantly (P 0.01) more than the diet containing 20% DPW. In general, intake decreased as DPW inclusion increased, but performance of animals on DPW supplemented remained as good or even better than those on the control diet. While supplementation produced on increase in liveweight gain of between 48-58% over initial bodyweight in 12 weeks, grazing alone promoted an overall in increase of 0.04% only during the same period.

Four calves equipped with permanent rumen and T-piece duodenal caninulus were given four diets in a Latin square experiment carried out at two stages of development. DM flow was measured by dual-phase markers. The basal diet of hay and concentrate was calculated to be low In rumen degradable N (RDN) and. tissue N. Additional RDN was provided by ad­ding 6, 12 or 18g urea/kg concentrate. Supplementary urea did not affect OM digestion either in the stomach or In the entire digestive tract. At the older age OM digestion in the stomach and the entire tract was significantly higher. On the basal diet, N retention was low. The flow of microbial N measured by the DAPA technique was not affected by diet and it was calculated that between 3 and 7g "s/d were recycled to the rumen. The addition of supplementary urea increased N retention par­ticularly at the lowest level of supplementation due to a concomitant decrease In urinary N.

"Shika" (indigenous, V,) and "Ngala" (introduction, V2) varieties of elephant grass (Pennisetum  purpureum Schum.) field planted at 60 x 90, 60 x  60 or 60 x 30 cm spacing and fertilized at 0, 100,  200 or 400kg N/ha/yr, were examined for dry matTer (DM) yield, crude protein (CP) content, CP  yield, nitrogen (N) recovery and stand persistence at  Shika during the 1975 and 1976 growing seasons.  The highest DM yield resulted from 60 x 30 cm  spacing/400kg N combination but the 60 x 60 cm  spacing (27,800 plants/ha) with 200kg N appeared  optimum for yield. V produced 4.3 to 21.0t DM  and V2 2.8 to 17.41 DM/ha/yr over the range of  population densities and fertilizer levels investigated. DM yield per kg N applied rose with increasing population density (V, only) and decreasing  N rate, the highest value of 49kg being recorded for V t. Mean herbage CP content varied from 7.0% without N to 9.7% with 400kg N/ha but the highest value of 11.0% was obtained from V2 planted at 60 x 90cm. For both grasses, N increased annual CP yield 1.2— 4.5—Fold. The highest apparent fertilizer N recovery of 76.3% occurred at 200kg N/ha while plants survived best at 60 x 60cm spacing.
EFFECTS OF ENERGY AND PROTEIN LEVELS ON FEED INTAKE AND NUTRIENT UTILIZATION BY YANKASA LAMBS
Authors: ADU I. F.
Published: March 2021

TWENTY yearling Yankasa lambs were fed 2 levels of energy (2.4 and 2.9 ME Mcal/kg) and 2 levels of protein (11.3 and 16. 1%) under each energy level for 100 days to study the effects of feed intake, digestibility and nutrient utilization. Groundnut top hay was the basal roughage while maize, wheat bran and cotton seed cake were the energy and protein supplements in different proportions. Hay intake decreased with increase in protein level. Dry matter digestibility significantly (P/0.05) increased with increase in both energy and protein levels. Crude protein digestibility was significantly (P/0.01) affected by protein level but not by energy level. Crude fibre digestibility was depressed in the high-energy-high protein diet. The consumption of nutrients tended to be more on the high energy rations. Nitrogen retention was also significantly (P/0.05) higher on the high energy rations. Liveweight gain was highest in the low energy/high protein group (79.4g/day) and lowest in the low energy/low protein group (56.4g/day). Within each energy level, liveweight gains increased with increase in protein level. Animals fed high energy rations required more protein than those on low energy rations.

Bypass Krian KM 33 Balongbendo, Sidoarjofaridamph@gmail.com Hp. 08123248102 ABSTRACT           Polluted air and contaminated seeds can cause various lung diseases, one of which is indicated by cough changes. Coughing into body shape, occurs as a response from the body to irritation in the throat due to mucus, dust, smoke and air outside the body. Nebulizer is an alternative tool to relieve the cough response to the presence of mucus which is an inflammatory reaction due to infection in the respiratory tract. Mint oil in the form of extracts has a variety of esters, especially menthyl acetate and monoterpenes which produce a distinctive aroma that is beneficial for breathing. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of adding mint oil as a result of distillation on the liquid with the nebulizer in cough handling.       This study was a pre-experimental study with nonrandomized design pre test and post test with control group design which was used to determine the effect of the addition of mint oil as a result of distillation on the liquid with nebulizer to reduce the coughing status of the patient which included (cough frequency, onset of inflammation, wheezing, and ease of expectoration of phlegm).      The results showed that the cough frequency status is known to have decreased from 44.4% of patients to 23.5% of patients. Similarly, the status of inflammation decreased from 41.7% to 21.7%; wheezing status which was originally 58.3% decreased to 39.1%; easy  expectoration status also shows that mint oil can reduce the level of difficulty of phlegm to go out to 13% from 36.1%.

Published: March 2021

Tetracycline are antibiotics with broad-spectrum that used routinely in veterinary medicine for animal treatment and prevention from infectious diseases. But, consuming antibiotics for long time and exceeding standards can lead to accumulation of antibiotic residues in the body. Based on SNI 01-6366-2000, the maximum residual limit (BMR) of tetracycline antibiotic is 0.1 mg/kg in meat.The purpose of this study was to determine the concentration of tetracycline residues in broiler chicken meat and beef that obtained in East Surabaya namely Manyar market, Sinar Baru market, Ampengan Batu market, Tenggilis Mejoyo market, Krempyeng market, Soponyono market, and Gunung Anyar market. This study used Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) as qualitative test and Spectrophotometric method as a quantitative test to determine the residual levels of tetracycline antibiotics. This study was conducted on March 15 onto May 2 2019. Based on the study, about 32 broiler chicken and 13 beef samples detected by the TLC method showed that had negative results, there was no containing tetracycline residues in samples. Awhile the results of the spectrophotometric method showed that as many as 31 samples of broiler chicken and 13 beef samples showed that had positive results containing residues of tetracycline antibiotics that exceed of the standard. Based on the results obtained that average concentration of tetracycline in samples of broiler chicken meat about 1,7 mg/kg and 0,8 mg/kg in beef samples. Descriptively,tetracycline residues in broiler chicken meat were higher than beef.

Report a clinical presentation of patient with rhematogenous retinal detachment by viterectomy and high myopia with C3F8 gas tamponade. A 20-year-old female came into the outpatient clinic with blurry vision on the right eye as her chief complaint. It had been happening since 1 month ago. In examination, we found result of visual acuity RE 1/300 and LE 1/60 correction Sferis-16.00 5/7.5, anterior segment in a normal range. In posterior segment evaluation, there were RE detachment on 3-11 o’clock position and hole on 6 and 8 o’clock position. Then we performed vitrectomy and  C3F8 gas tamponade. The first day after surgery, we found IOP 19,6 mmHg and Von Herrick III. Then after the second day, we found a pain on the right eye, TIO 47.3 mmHg, Von Herrick 0 and opaque lens. Then we performed iridectomy and intravitreal gas aspiration. After it were done, we found IOP 17.3 mmHg and Von Herrick 0. In anterior segment OCT evaluation, we found a narrow angle anterior segment. Then we planned to do a cataract extraction with using viscoelastic to perform the anterior chamber.Malignant glaucoma can occur in cases after vitrectomy action due to aqueous misdirection and emphasis on gas expansion on tamponade. Cataract extraction and gas aspiration can help open the anterior chamber and the intraocular pressure returns to normal

Abstract. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and are important for atmospheric chemistry. Large uncertainties remain in the role of the ocean in the atmospheric VOC budget because of poorly constrained marine sources and sinks. There are very few direct measurements of air–sea VOC fluxes near the coast, where natural marine emissions could influence coastal air quality (i.e. ozone, aerosols) and terrestrial gaseous emissions could be taken up by the coastal seas. To address this, we present air–sea flux measurements of acetone, acetaldehyde and dimethylsulfide (DMS) at the coastal Penlee Point Atmospheric Observatory (PPAO) in the South-West UK during the spring (Apr–May 2018). Fluxes of these gases are quantified simultaneously by eddy covariance (EC) using a proton transfer reaction quadrupole mass spectrometer. Comparisons are made between two wind sectors representative of different air–water exchange regimes: the open water sector facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the fetch-limited Plymouth Sound fed by two estuaries. Mean EC (± 1 standard error) fluxes of acetone, acetaldehyde and DMS from the open-water wind sector were −8.0 ± 0.8, −1.6 ± 1.4 and 4.7 ± 0.6 μmol m−2 d−1 respectively (− sign indicates net air-to-sea deposition). These measurements are generally comparable (same order of magnitude) to previous measurements in the Eastern North Atlantic Ocean at the same latitude. In comparison, the terrestrially influenced Plymouth Sound wind sector showed respective fluxes of −12.9 ± 1.4, −4.5 ± 1.7 and 1.8 ± 0.8 μmol m−2 d−1. The greater deposition fluxes of acetone and acetaldehyde within the Plymouth Sound were likely to a large degree driven by higher atmospheric concentrations from the terrestrial wind sector. The reduced DMS emission from the Plymouth Sound was caused by a combination of lower wind speed and likely lower dissolved concentrations as a result of the freshwater estuarine influence (i.e. dilution). In addition, we measured the near surface seawater concentrations of acetone, acetaldehyde, DMS and isoprene from a marine station 6 km offshore. Comparisons are made between EC fluxes from the open water and bulk air–sea VOC fluxes calculated using air/water concentrations with a two-layer (TL) model of gas transfer. The calculated TL fluxes are largely consistent with the EC measurements with respect to the directions and magnitudes of fluxes. Accordingly, the computed transfer velocities of DMS and acetone from the EC fluxes and air/water concentrations are largely consistent with previous transfer velocity estimates from the open ocean.

Abstract. This work focuses on the characterization of vertically-resolved aerosol hygroscopicity properties and their direct radiative effects through a unique combination of ground-based and airborne remote sensing measurements during the DISCOVER-AQ 2011 field campaign in the Washington D.C. – Baltimore metropolitan area. To that end, we combined measurements from a multiwavelength Raman lidar located at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the airborne NASA Langley HSRL-1 lidar system. In-situ measurements on board the P-3B airplane and ground-based AERONET-DRAGON served to validate and complement quantifications of aerosol hygroscopicity from lidar measurements and also to extend the study both temporally and spatially. The focus here is on the 22nd and 29th of July, 2011 which were very humid days and characterized by a stable atmosphere and increasing relative humidity with height in the planetary boundary layer (PBL). Combined lidar and radiosonde measurements allowed the retrieval of the Hänel hygroscopic growth factor which agreed with that obtained from airborne in-situ measurements, and also explained the significant increase of extinction and backscattering with height. Airborne measurements also confirmed aerosol hygroscopicity throughout the entire day in the PBL and identified sulfates and water soluble organic carbon as the main species of aerosol particles. The combined Raman and HSRL-1 measurements permitted the inversion for aerosol microphysical properties revealing an increase of particle radius with altitude consistent with hygroscopic growth. Aerosol hygroscopicity was identified as the main reason to explain aerosol optical depth increases during the day, particularly for fine mode particles. Lidar measurements were used as input to the libRadtram radiative transfer code to obtain vertically-resolved aerosol radiative effects and heating rates under dry and humid conditions, and the results reveal that aerosol hygroscopicity is responsible for larger cooling effects in the shortwave range (7–10 W/m2 depending on aerosol load) near the ground, while heating rates produced a warming of 0.12 K/day near the top of PBL where aerosol hygroscopic growth was highest.
Sediment shell-content diminishes current-driven sand ripple
development and migration

Published: March 2021

Abstract. Shells and shell fragments are biogenic structures that are widespread throughout natural sandy shelf seas and whose presence can affect the bed roughness and erodibility of the seabed. An important and direct consequence is the effect on the formation and movement of small bedforms such as sand ripples. We experimentally measured ripple formation and migration of a mixture of natural sand with increasing volumes of shell material in a racetrack flume. Our experiments reveal the impacts of shells on ripple development in sandy sediment, providing information that was previously lacking. Shells expedite the onset of sediment transport while simultaneously reducing ripple dimensions and slowing down their migration rates. Moreover, increasing shell content enhances near-bed flow velocity due to the reduction of bed friction that is partly caused by a decrease in average ripple size and occurrence. This, in essence, limits the rate and magnitude of bedload transport. Given the large influence of shell content on sediment dynamics on the one hand, and the high shell concentrations found naturally in the sediments of shallow seas on the other hand, a significant control from shells on the morphodynamics of sandy marine habitats is expected.
Computing water flow through complex landscapes – Part 3: Fill–Spill–Merge: flow routing in depression hierarchies
Authors: Barnes Richard , Callaghan Kerry L. , Wickert Andrew D.
Published: March 2021

Abstract. Depressions – inwardly draining regions – are common to many landscapes. When there is sufficient moisture, depressions take the form of lakes and wetlands; otherwise, they may be dry. Hydrological flow models used in geomorphology, hydrology, planetary science, soil and water conservation, and other fields often eliminate depressions through filling or breaching; however, this can produce unrealistic results. Models that retain depressions, on the other hand, are often undesirably expensive to run. In previous work we began to address this by developing a depression hierarchy data structure to capture the full topographic complexity of depressions in a region. Here, we extend this work by presenting the Fill–Spill–Merge algorithm that utilizes our depression hierarchy data structure to rapidly process and distribute runoff. Runoff fills depressions, which then overflow and spill into their neighbors. If both a depression and its neighbor fill, they merge. We provide a detailed explanation of the algorithm and results from two sample study areas. In these case studies, the algorithm runs 90–2600 times faster (with a reduction in compute time of 2000–63 000 times) than the commonly used Jacobi iteration and produces a more accurate output. Complete, well-commented, open-source code with 97 % test coverage is available on GitHub and Zenodo.

Abstract. Polar researchers spend enormous costs transporting snow and ice samples to home laboratories for simple analyses in order to constrain annual layer thicknesses and identifying accumulation rates of specific sites. It is well known that depositional noise, incurred from wind drifts, seasonally-biased deposition, melt layers and more, can influence individual snow and firn records and that multiple cores are required to produce statistically robust time series. Thus at many sites core samples are measured in the field for densification, but the annual accumulation and the content of chemical impurities are often represented by just one core to reduce transport costs. We have developed a portable Light weight in Situ Analysis (LISA) box for ice, firn and snow analysis capable of constraining annual layers through the continuous flow analysis of melt water conductivity and peroxide under field conditions. The box can run using a small gasoline-generator and weighs less than 50 kg. The LISA box was tested under field conditions at the deep ice core drilling site EastGRIP in Northern Greenland. Analysis of the top 2 metres of snow from 7 sites in Northern Greenland (Figure 1) allowed the reconstruction of regional snow accumulation patterns for the period 2015–2019.

What Am I, a Piece of Meat? Synecdochical Utterances Targeting Women
Authors: McMullen Amanda
Published: March 2021

In a September 2004 interview, Donald Trump agreed with Howard Stern’s statement that his daughter Ivanka is “a piece of ass.” This utterance is a synecdochical utterance targeting women (SUTW), by which I mean that its form is such that a term for an anatomical part is predicated of, or could be used by a speaker to refer to, a woman. I propound a theory of what SUTW speakers do in undertaking an SUTW on which the SUTW speaker prompts the hearer to engage in a certain derogatory pattern of associational thinking—that is, taking a “perspective” in Elisabeth Camp’s sense—on the female subject. This perspective is one that reduces her to the bodily part in question—that is, fragments her (reduces her to a part) and biologizes her (characterizes her as mere living tissue). Essentially, the hearer thinks of the woman as a “piece of meat.”
Flervalg til 20 minutts problemløsningsoppgaver?
Authors: Sindre Guttorm
Published: March 2021

I mange MNT-fag er problemløsningsoppgaver vanlig på eksamen. Tradisjonelt har slike oppgaver vært gitt som langsvar, men i store klasser er flervalgsspørsmål fristende for å redusere rettearbeidet. Mens kortvarige problemløsningsoppgaver åpenbart kan egne seg for flervalg, blir det straks mer problematisk med større oppgaver med varighet 10-20 minutt eller mer. Ett enkelt flervalgsspørsmål gir kun ett datapunkt om studentens kompetanse, og hvis man kun rekker 20 flervalgsspørsmål på en eksamen, vil det være altfor lite til å gi et pålitelig resultat. Flervalgsoppgaver med lang varighet gir dessuten økt risikofølelse for studenten, som etter å ha jobbet lenge med en oppgave – og tenkt 90% riktig – likevel ender opp med null poeng etter en liten glipp som resulterer i feil svar. Kan flervalg likevel brukes i problemløsningsoppgaver som varer 20 minutt, og i så fall hvordan?

Denne artikkelen foreslår to mulige måter å få til dette på, med eksempler fra programmering. Begge fremgangsmåtene baserer seg på en innledende case-beskrivelse / spesifikasjon av problemet som skal løses. Deretter kan man presentere et utkast til løsning men med utelatelser som kan kompletteres ved flervalg. Denne oppgavetypen har hatt god diskriminering og korrelasjon med totalscore i eksamener i et innledende programmeringsemne ved NTNU, og det fins lignende erfaringer fra utlandet. Alternativt til utelatelser som skal fylles inn, kan caset følges opp med en serie med Sant / Usant -påstander – en sjanger som på engelsk kalles Multiple True/False (MTF). Denne sjangeren kan ifølge internasjonal forskning gi høyere pålitelighet enn vanlig flervalg og bedre innsikt i studentenes kompetanse. Samtidig, ved at man innhenter en serie innfyllinger eller Sant/Usant-valg per case, får oppgaven flere datapunkter og blir ikke alt eller ingenting for studenten.
Comparing neuromodulation modalities involving the suprascapular nerve in chronic refractory shoulder pain: retrospective case series and literature review
Authors: Dey Saugat
Published: March 2021

Chronic shoulder pain not relieved by either conservative or surgical management is referred to as chronic refractory shoulder pain. This is a retrospective case series where chronic refractory shoulder pain patients were treated either with peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) or with pulsed radiofrequency (p-RF) therapy to the suprascapular nerve. Both patients receiving PNS reported 100% pain relief for the first month. At the 3- and 6-month follow-ups, one patient continued to experience 100% relief while the other reported 90% relief. One patient undergoing p-RF experienced about 90% pain relief at both 1- and 3-month intervals and 0% relief at the 6-month interval. The other patient with p-RF experienced 33% relief at 1-month and 0% relief thereafter. No patient reported any complications. The results of previous randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of p-RF administered to the suprascapular nerve were mixed, and there is a lack of published studies on PNS effects. Neuromodulation of the suprascapular nerve can be effective for chronic refractory shoulder pain patients. Larger scale randomized controlled trials comparing PNS and p-RF are needed to better understand their respective therapeutic capacity.

Background. This study investigated the clinical outcomes of fixation of displaced middle-third clavicular fractures using percutaneous elastic stable intramedullary nails.
Material and methods. This study included sixty patients with a mean age of 26.40 ± 8.91 years (16-53 years) presented with a displaced middle third fracture of the clavicle. According to the Robinson classification, 48 cases (80%) were type 2B1, 9 cases (15%) type 2B2 and 3 case (5%) 2A1. All cases were treated by elastic intramedullary nails and followed up for at least 12 months.
Results. At the end of the twelve months’ follow-up period, the mean Constant Shoulder score was 95.70 ± 13.55, ranging from 48 to 100. 54 patients (90%) had excellent results, 3 patients (5%) had an adequate result and 3 patients (5%) had a poor result. There was a statistically significant relationship between the final score and age and associated medical conditions.
Conclusions. 1. Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing is an image-dependent procedure indicated best for young medically free athletes with simple 2-part middle third clavicle fracture. 2. Hammering is not recommended to avoid dorsolateral cortex perforation. 3. The most common complication is medial skin irritation because of the subcutaneous position of the clavicle as well as the sharp end of the cut nail.
Anaemia and iron deficiency in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other chronic diseases*

Anaemia is one of the most common symptoms accompanying many chronic diseases, e.g. collagenases, neoplasms, and chronic inflammations (inflammatory bowel disease, chronic kidney disease and heart failure). Iron deficiency anaemia is the most common type of anaemia (80%). It affects 1% to 2% of the population. Iron deficiency (ID) – absolute or functional – is characterised by reduced ferritin levels and transferrin saturation (TSAT) of less than 20%. Iron deficiency is the most common dietary deficiency. However, iron deficiency might be one of the common causes of anaemia of chronic disease (ACD). Anaemia affects 33% to 60% of patients with RA. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic immune-mediated systemic connective tissue disease, in which chronic inflammation of the synovial tissue of the joints damages articular cartilages, bones and other joint structures. The prevalence of RA is approximately 0.3% to 2%. Low haemoglobin levels in RA patients are significantly correlated with disability, activity and duration of the disease as well as damage to joints and joint pain. Treatment of anaemia in RA patients includes iron supplementation, blood transfusions, the use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, and treatment of the underlying condition. Biological treatments used in RA patients, such as e.g. infliximab, tocilizumab and anakinra, not only slow the progression of joint involvement but also prevent anaemia.
Extraction of Vehicle CAN Bus Data for Roadway Condition Monitoring

Obtaining timely information across the state roadway network is important for monitoring the condition of the roads and operating characteristics of traffic. One of the most significant challenges in winter roadway maintenance is identifying emerging or deteriorating conditions before significant crashes occur. For instance, almost all modern vehicles have accelerometers, anti-lock brake (ABS) and traction control systems. This data can be read from the Controller Area Network (CAN) of the vehicle, and combined with GPS coordinates and cellular connectivity, can provide valuable on-the-ground sampling of vehicle dynamics at the onset of a storm. We are rapidly entering an era where this vehicle data can provide an agency with opportunities to more effectively manage their systems than traditional procedures that rely on fixed infrastructure sensors and telephone reports. This data could also reduce the density of roadway weather information systems (RWIS), similar to how probe vehicle data has reduced the need for micro loop or side fire sensors for collecting traffic speeds.
A novel combination of sodium metabisulfite and a chemical mixture based on sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, and sodium nitrite for aerobic preservation of fruit and vegetable discards and lactic acid fermentation in a total mixed ration for ruminants
Authors: Ahmadi Farhad , Lee Won Hee , Kwak Wan Sup
Published: March 2021

Objective: Our recent findings confirmed the effectiveness of sodium metabisulfite (SMB) in controlling the growth of undesirable microorganisms in fruit and vegetable discards (FVD); however, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are susceptible to its antibacterial effects. Two series of experiments were conducted to enable the survivability of LAB during silage fermentation of a total mixed ration (TMR) containing SMB-treated FVD.Methods: In Exp. 1, the objective was to isolate a strain of LAB tolerable to the toxic effect of SMB. In Exp. 2, the SMB load was minimized through its partial replacement with a chemical mixture (CM) based on sodium benzoate (57%), potassium sorbate (29%), and sodium nitrite (14%). FVD was treated with SMB + CM (2 g each/kg biomass) and added to the TMR at varying levels (0%, 10%, or 20%), with or without KU18 inoculation.Results: The KU18 was screened as a presumptive LAB strain showing superior tolerance to SMB in broth medium, and was identified at the molecular level using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis as Lactobacillus plantarum. Inoculation of KU18 in TMR containing SMB was not successful for the LAB development, biomass acidification, and organoleptic properties of the resultant silage. In Exp. 2, based on the effectiveness and economic considerations, an equal proportion of SMB and CM (2 g each/kg FVD) was selected as the optimal loads for the subsequent silage fermentation experiment. Slight differences were determined in LAB development, biomass acidification, and sensorial characteristics among the experimental silages, suggesting the low toxicity of the preservatives on LAB growth.Conclusion: Although KU18 strain was not able to efficiently develop in silage mass containing SMB-treated FVD, the partial substitution of SMB load with the CM effectively alleviated the toxic effect of SMB and allowed LAB development during the fermentation of SMB + CM-treated FVD in TMR.

Los ásperos debates alrededor de Internet y los derechos de autor, a menudo carentes de matices, dejan en segundo plano diversas prácticas creativas de gran interés e impacto social, como es el caso de la actividad de los denominados subtituladores amateurs de series de televisión. Coincidiendo con la despedida de la popular serie House, una de los principales exponentes de la nueva edad de oro de las series norteamericanas, quiero dedicar este artículo a dicho fenómeno.
Gestión de la reputación online

Gestión de la reputación online, éste el título que Javier Leiva-Aguilera ha elegido para el libro que presentó en la librería Alibri el pasado 13 de abril, con bastante acierto, a mi entender. Dejando a un lado si Leiva debería haber utilizado el término reputación o identidad, considero que estas son las palabras que mejor describen el auténtico sentido de lo que otros denominan community management.

De la batalla de las ideas a la batalla de los datos
Authors: López-Borrull Alexandre
Published: March 2021

La batalla de las ideas como concepto se origina en Cuba en el conflicto originado por el regreso del niño Elián González. Sin embargo, a menudo también se ha empleado para definir una cierta disputa ideológica entre partidos u opinadores, como citó el propio Josep Antoni Duran i Lleida. Así, los grandes movimientos y debates políticos se cruzan argumentos que en mayor o menor medida intentan proponer modelos que ganen mayorías para poder, gobernando, llevarlas a la práctica. Socialdemocracia, comunismo, capitalismo, liberalismo pueden ser identificados como algunos de estos esquemas a menudo enfrentados. Lo que se pretendía, en el caso expuesto en el título, era demostrar que si el niño Elián había tenido que volver a Cuba era porque el comunismo había ganado al capitalismo, según sus conceptos.

La demanda de community managers por parte de las empresas va en aumento y más aún la oferta formativa que pretende capacitarnos para tan importantes menesteres. Sin embargo, sigue sin haber un consenso claro sobre cuáles son las funciones a desempeñar ni de qué departamento deben depender. Lo que sí que parece evidente son las necesidades que las redes sociales están generando en las organizaciones. El tiempo dirá si tales necesidades debe cubrirlas una única persona o más bien un equipo coordinado.

‘Trending’ tópicos: ¡la gente está fatal! Y otras cuestiones sobre cómo construimos nuestras opiniones a través de los medios
Authors: Roig Antoni
Published: March 2021

Hace algunos días me topé con un artículo en el que se recogía la opinión de diferentes ciudadanos valencianos a propósito de la para mí ignominiosa actuación policial del mes de febrero durante las protestas estudiantiles originadas alrededor de la situación del IES Lluís Vives. Bajo el epígrafe “La opinión de los valencianos”, todas ellas eran profundamente críticas con los poderes públicos y solidarias con la actitud de los estudiantes y de los manifestantes. Yo me sentía emocionado y encantado de la vida leyéndolo porque, al fin y al cabo, estaban diciendo lo que yo quería oír. Entonces recordé que se acercaba el día de preparar un artículo que quería dedicar a cómo construimos nuestras opiniones a partir de lo que leemos, escuchamos y vemos en los medios y lo he escogido como punto de partida.
