Authors: BAŞER Emrah , SÖĞÜTLÜLER Türker
Published: August 2023

Küresel dijital platformların yayın hayatına başlamasıyla izleme eğilimleri değişmiş, bu değişimler gençler ve genç yetişkinler üzerinde belirgin bir hâl almıştır. Küresel ölçekte değişen izleme eğilimleri nedeniyle sinema, televizyon ve reklam alanlarının da ekonomik modellerini değiştirmesi gerekmiştir. İzleme eyleminin günümüzde mobil araçlarla gerçekleştirilebilme olanağı, geleneksel televizyon yayıncılığının sunmuş olduğu kolektif izleme ortamını mobil araçlara taşımıştır. Bu süreçler izleyici kültüründe köklü bir değişime yol açmış ve reklamların izleyiciye ulaşma biçimlerini değiştirmesine neden olmuştur. Bu dönüşüm sonucunda reklam yine önemli bir aktör olmuştur. Çalışmada genç ve genç yetişkinlerin değişen izleme eğilimlerinde dijital platformların reklam modellerinin etkisi incelenmiş, yirmi kişiyle gerçekleştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler aracılığıyla sinemanın yeni tüketim biçiminde dijital platform reklamlarının izleyici üzerindeki etkileri tartışılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, genç ve genç yetişkin bireylerin dijital platform izleme eğilimlerinin yakın çevreleri tarafından etkilendiği, toplumsal gerçeklerden kaçmaya yardımcı bir araç olarak dijital platform içeriklerinin tüketildiği, izleme eyleminin yoğun olarak kişisel bilgisayar ve akıllı telefonlar aracılığıyla gerçekleştirildiği belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, dijital platform reklamlarının geleneksel medyada yer alan reklamlara oranla daha kabul edilebilir düzeyde algılandığı saptanmıştır.

Published: August 2023

The desiccant air conditioning system consists of two processes, namely cooling and dehumidification, in which the air temperature and humidity are controlled in order to provide comfortable thermal conditions. A typical system includes a dehumidifier, indirect evaporative cooler, and regenerator. The desiccant is selected depending on its ability to absorb water vapor present in the air. In this study, calcium chloride solution was used as a desiccant for the desiccant solution regeneration process, and a flat plate solar collector was employed. Different variables, such as the primary air flow rate, desiccant flow rate, and the concentration of the desiccant solution, were changed during the experiments. The impact of these variables on the performance parameters of the desiccant system such as moisture removal rate, moisture efficiency, enthalpy efficiency, sensible heat ratio, and the mass transfer coefficient was studied. The obtained results revealed that as the solution concentration and the flow rate of primary air increase, the moisture removal rate, sensible heat ratio, and mass transfer coefficient increase. A particular value of inlet primary air flow rate (0.18Kg/s), an increase in the inlet concentration of calcium chloride solution from 0.85 to 0.95 leads to a rise in moisture removal rate, sensible heat ratio, and mass transfer coefficient of  (1.1 _1.65) g/s,  (0.18-0.25),  and  (0.01075-0.0123) m/s respectively. While at a certain inlet concentration of a desiccant solution (0.95), increasing the inlet primary air flow rate from 0.1Kg/s to 0.18Kg/s leads to an increase in the moisture removal rate, sensible heat ratio, and mass transfer coefficient o (0.94-1.26) g/s, (0.24-0.26), and(0.0038 -0.011) m/s respectively.

Authors: Hmood Noor , Shamkhi Mohammed S.
Published: August 2023

Soil properties checks and classification are an important part of any engineering project as they directly affect buildings as well as agriculture and others. The research aims to create an integrated database for soil properties in the study area, which is the western side of the city of Kut, to know its relationship to groundwater in the region. Laboratory tests were conducted for five soil samples from the Bar Drilling sites to monitor the movement of groundwater in the area. Soil samples were taken when drilling and upon reaching the groundwater level, which was approximately 6 meters sieve analysis, hydrometer, specific gravity, and hydraulic conductivity were also conducted, as well as the content of chlorides and sulfates in the soil was calculated.  For classifying testure of the soil, the triangle of US agriculture department was utilized, soil can be divided into groups by this triangle based on clay, silt and sand proportion.  Results of examination of soil texture  showed that the soil in the first was Clay loam and the second point was Silty Clay loam and in the third point, it was sandy clay loam, while in the fourth point it was silty clay loam and it was in the fifth point silt loam As shown in Table 1. The specific gravity was measured in the field, and the lowest value was 2.65 in the third well, while the highest value was 2.70 in the fifth well. The hydraulic conductivity of the five well points was calculated and was close to each other and considered as an average value of hydraulic conductivity equal to 0.013522. The content of chlorides and sulfates in the soil was calculated due to its importance in knowing the chemical properties. The results showed that the value of the chlorides ranged between (0.154 - 1.72) %, while the values of the sulfate content in the soil ranged between (0.930 - 3.11) %.
White Supremacy, Democrats, and Anti-Abortion Support
Authors: Thompson Andrew Ifedapo , Bowers Malia , McCabe Stefan
Published: August 2023

White supremacist attitudes are on the rise in the United States. In this paper, we assert that there are latent white supremacist sentiments, deeply connected to the changing racial demographics of the U.S., that can shift white Democrats’ partisan attitudes when primed. We specifically focus on support for anti-abortion laws, and show that when white Democrats are primed to think about racial demographic change, it activates this latent white supremacy and makes them more supportive of anti-abortion law. We find little moderation across political views of white Democrats, including between white men and women Democrats. We conclude discussing the implications of latent white supremacy for the study of gender, race and democratic backsliding in the U.S.

IL18R1 is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer and lung cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and multiplexed gene expression data (4, 5), comparing primary and brain metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the CNS. We found that interleukin-18 receptor 1, encoded by IL18R1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Multiplexed gene expression data5 revealed conserved differential expression of IL18R1 in CNS metastasis in patients with lung cancer. IL18R1 mRNA was present at decreased quantities in metastasis to the brain in humans with lung cancer. Primary tumor expression of IL18R1 correlated with overall and recurrence-free survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of IL18R1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the primary organ site to the brain in humans with cancer of the lung and breast.

The Human-Machine Evo-ecosystem; the emergence of a non-life species that adapts through the algorithm and not DNA or RNA: Is our human DNA ready?
Authors: Kashangura Chenjerayi
Published: August 2023

Since the dawn of life on planet Earth living organisms have succeeded to perpetuate by producing offspring and adapting to environments through DNA or RNA. The evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) from narrow forms to unconstrained forms is leading to the emergence of autonomous, self-evolving, unconstrained AI. This type of AI in the form of humanoids will give birth to a non-life species (NLS) that evolves through the algorithm and not DNA or RNA. The NLS humanoids will be at par or surpass human intelligence and at human ecology level will compete with humans in the same habitat and niche resulting in a human-machine evo-ecosystem. This Perspective discusses the issues related to the human-machine evo-ecosystem and proposes potential way-forwards in managing the AI human-machine evo-ecosystem. The Perspective is intended for igniting discussions and debates around this emerging topic.

Published: August 2023

Stable isotopes, $\delta^2$H, $\delta^{18}$O, and d-excess, are valuable tools as natural tracers of diffusion processes and phase changes in the global hydroclimatological cycle. The Indonesian Maritime Continent (IMC) is an archipelago area surrounded by very warm waters which induce convective activities as the primary heat source driving global atmospheric circulation. Given the central role of IMC in this hydroclimatological cycle, comprehensive study and data collection on the stable isotopes of precipitation in this region is crucial.In this study, we collected monthly stable isotope data from 62 stations spread throughout the Indonesian archipelago from September 2010 to September 2017. We cleaned the data and conducted quality control activities by comparing the Local Meteoric Water Line (LMWL) to previous studies in a similar climatic region. We shared these data openly on our GitHub repository, making them easier to update and interact with users in the future.
Marine Cloud Brightening: an airborne concept
Authors: Claudel Christian , Lockley Andrew , Hoffmann Fabian , Xia Younan
Published: August 2023

Marine cloud brightening (MCB) is a proposed solar radiation modification (SRM) geoengineering technique to enhance marine boundary layer (MBL) cloud albedo. Extant proposals consider 10,000-100,000 autonomous ships spraying seawater, generating and dispersing sea salt nanoparticles. Alternatively, this paper proposes industrially manufacturing NaCl nanoparticles using ethanol anti-solvent brine precipitation. With desiccation, size optimization and narrowed size distribution, aerosol mass flux reduces by 500x (17x for the dry mass flux). This facilitates Unmanned Aerial Vehicle delivery (e.g. MQ-9 Reaper UAV). Increased speed, altitude and wake turbulence improves areal coverage per vehicle vs. ships - reducing fleet size. Utilizing extant airframe designs improves vehicle technology readiness level (TRL) - potentially improving system operational cost (est. $40B/year) and lead time. This approach further reduces energy requirements (5x less), technical risk and system complexity. Increased readiness amplifies proliferation risk - particularly for inexpensive regional heatwave and hurricane suppression - making governance more urgent.

Published: August 2023

ObjectiveIndividuals diagnosed with anorexia nervosa (AN) often report seeing themselves as overweight. While body size estimation tasks suggest that such individuals overestimate their body size, these tasks have failed to establish whether this misestimation stems from visual misperception. Misestimation might, instead, be due to response bias. We designed a paradigm to distinguish between visual and response bias contributions to body size misestimation: the symmetrical body size estimation (s-BSE) paradigm.MethodThe s-BSE paradigm involves two tasks. In the conventional task, participants estimate the width of their photographed body by adjusting the size of a rectangle to match. In the transposed task, participants adjust the size of a photograph of their body to match the rectangle. If overestimation stems exclusively from visual misperception, then errors in each task would be equal and opposite. Using this paradigm, we compared the performance of women diagnosed with AN (n = 14) against women without any eating disorder (n = 40).ResultsIn the conventional task, we replicated previous ﬁndings indicating that both women with AN and women without any eating disorder overestimate their body size. In the transposed task, neither group adjusted the bodies to be narrower than the rectangle. Participants with AN set their photographs to be signiﬁcantly wider.DiscussionWhile we replicated previous ﬁndings of body size overestimation amongst women with AN and those without any eating disorder, our results are inconsistent with the hypothesis that such overestimation stems exclusively from visual misperception and instead suggest a substantial response bias effect.

Published: August 2023

Mothers with young children were disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Maternal rates of clinically significant depression rapidly increased while mental health services simultaneously became less accessible. In response, we designed a novel app-based intervention, Building Emotional Awareness and Mental Health (BEAM), to address mental health concerns and promote supportive parenting in mothers. A total of 70 mothers participated in the BEAM pilot. Following completing the program, participants were invited to share feedback about their experience in BEAM through focus groups and a post-intervention questionnaire. The current study comprised a thematic analysis of qualitative focus group (n = 11) and questionnaire data (n = 40). Results demonstrate how participants were supported and benefited from the program (e.g., peer community, learning new skills and strategies) and suggestions for improvement. Findings highlight the acceptability of the BEAM program and can inform the development of future mental health app-based programs and services.

Published: August 2023

Measures of stress reactivity and coping are critical in developmental research inchildren. Such measures assist in identifying psycho-physiological abnormalities andaid in developing interventions to avoid outcomes associated with prolonged stress.Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, measures of stress reactivity and coping were almost exclusively assessed through in-person laboratory studies. Given the importance of stress reactivity research on mitigating adverse developmental outcomes in children it was crucial to continue this research during the pandemic through pivoting to online virtual assessments. The current paper presents guidelines and lessons learned from our team’s transition from in person to virtual assessments with young children. Key learnings across a variety of areas, such as family engagement, optimal logistics of virtual assessments, and how to best adapt stress-reactivity measures at a distance are presented.
Academic Screening in Middle School: Exploring Bivariate and Intraindividual Relations in Reading and Math Performance
Authors: Clark Kelly , Hall Garret
Published: August 2023

Early adolescence is a pivotal time for academic development; however, the vast majority of research on reading and math development within a multi-tiered system of support has been conducted among elementary students. Using triannual (Fall, Winter, Spring) academic screening data, we examined the transactional development of reading and math skills among sixth and seventh grade students (N = 1,693) using Bayesian longitudinal structural equation modeling (BSEM). We find equivocal support for four of the five types of longitudinal SEMs tested (dual-change, linear change, proportional change, latent curve with structured residuals, and random-intercepts cross-lagged models). Stable between-person differences in math and reading (i.e., latent/random intercepts) are strongly correlated regardless of the modeling approach (r = .70-.77), consistent extensive prior research in this area. However, correlated growth processes at the between-person level and within-person transactional relations of math and reading were inconsistent across models. We discuss the practical implications of these findings as well as the methodological issues with detecting within-person instructional response in triannual screening.

Published: August 2023

Objectives: The study aimed to assess changes between baseline and end-of-treatment in work-related absenteeism, presenteeism, productivity, and non-work related activity impairment, as well as estimate cost savings associated with observed improvements. Methods: Data from 91 employed adult participants who enrolled in a single-arm, exploratory study of a relational agent-delivered digital mental health intervention and completed Work Productivity and Activity Impairment assessments were analyzed; overall work productivity improvement was multiplied by the overall and education-adjusted U.S. median annual salary to arrive at potential cost savings estimates. Results: Adjusted models indicated over 20% improvements in presenteeism, work productivity impairment, and activity impairment, yielding cost-savings estimates between $14,000 and over $18,000 annually.Conclusions: Relational-agent-delivered digital mental health interventions may be associated with improvements in work productivity and activity impairment, which could result in a sizable cost savings.
How to best measure academic dishonesty in students: A systematic review of self-report assessment methods and psychometric quality - Preprint
Authors: Fritz Tanja Marie , Cruz Hernán González , Janke Stefan , Daumiller Martin
Published: August 2023

Addressing a pervasive problem in educational institutions, investigations into academic dishonesty by students have produced a vast body of empirical research, mostly based on self-report measures. However, the literature repeatedly points to inconsistencies in assessment methods and unclear measurement quality. We conducted a preregistered systematic review to compare and evaluate self-report assessments (including past cheating behavior and cheating intentions). In 256 instruments of 231 studies, 70% were unique self-report measures and 38.7% of studies did not investigate or report psychometric quality criteria. As such, the academic dishonesty literature is no exception in questionable measurement practices, where reports often lack key measurement information, such as the full item list (missing in 32%) or the time frames for behavioral assessment (missing in 50.4%). Our findings illustrate the threat to interpretability and comparability due to a lack of psychometric understanding and inconsistent measurement approaches. Contrary to aiming at a unified measure, we propose a focus on best practices in measurement construction and reporting to address diverse contexts, populations, and research questions. To guide future research, we provide a selection of psychometrically validated scales, analysis, operationalization, as well as reporting recommendations, and discuss methodological considerations to enhance the psychometric foundation of academic dishonesty research.
How do you know if you were mind wandering? Dissociating explicit memories of off task thought from subjective feelings of inattention.
Authors: Mathews Nathan K. , Bin Faiz Umer , Brosowsky Nicholaus P.
Published: August 2023

Mind wandering is a common experience in which your attention drifts away from the task at hand and toward task-unrelated thoughts. To measure mind wandering we typically use experience sampling and retrospective self-reports, which require participants to make metacognitive judgments about their immediately preceding attentional states. In the current study, we aimed to better understand how people come to make such judgments by introducing a novel distinction between explicit memories of off task thought and subjective feelings of inattention. Across two preregistered experiments, we found that participants often indicated they were “off task” and yet had no memory of the content of their thoughts—though, they were less common than remembered experiences. Critically, remembered experiences of mind wandering and subjective feelings of inattention differed in their behavioral correlates. In Experiment 1, we found that only the frequency of remembered mind wandering varied with task demands. In contrast, only subjective feelings of inattention were associated with poor performance (Experiments 1 and 2) and individual differences in executive functioning (Experiment 2). These results suggest that the phenomenology of mind wandering may differ depending on how the experiences are brought about (e.g., executive functioning errors versus excess attentional resources), and provide preliminary evidence of the importance of measuring subjective feelings of inattention when assessing mind wandering.
Being On Top Versus Not Dangling At the Bottom: Popularity Motivation and Aggression in Youth
Authors: Lansu Tessa A. M. , van den Berg Yvonne
Published: August 2023

Whereas research on aggression and status motivation in youth has predominantly looked at a promotion focus (striving for popularity), a prevention focus (wanting to avoid low popularity) could also be an important determinant of aggression, as youth who fear low popularity may use strategic aggression to secure their position. The aim of the current study was to develop reliable measures for both popularity motivations, and examine how both motivations are uniquely and jointly related to aggression.Participants were 1123 Dutch secondary school students (M age = 14.4 years, 48% girls), who completed a 3-item measure of striving for high popularity based on existing questionnaires (Li & Wright, 2014; Ojanen et al., 2005), and a 3-item measure of avoiding low popularity consisting of an adapted version of the high popularity items. Aggressive behavior was measured through peer nominations.Motivations were moderately correlated (r = .51), but did not always co-occur within the same person, as 17% of the sample belonged to a cluster that scored low on striving for popularity, but moderately high on avoiding low popularity. When considered simultaneously, striving for high popularity was not related to any type of aggression, whereas avoiding affiliation with unpopular peers was related to strategic aggression. For physical and verbal aggression, gossiping, excluding and bullying, the association of avoiding low popularity with aggression was strongest when youth also strived for high popularity. Future work should take both popularity motivations into account in order to better understand, predict and intervene on youth’s aggression toward peers.

Gendered wage effects of changes in non-routine job tasks: Evidence from Germany
Authors: Wicht Alexandra , Müller Nora , Pollak Reinhard
Published: August 2023

While previous research showed that technological progress and digitization change job tasks within occupations and that these occupation-level changes in job tasks affect the wage structure and personal wages, little is known about whether individual changes in job tasks affect personal earnings. Following the task-biased technological change approach, we analyze whether individuals who take on more non-routine job tasks with a low automation risk (complex and autonomous tasks) are rewarded with higher wages. Accounting for the strong gender segregation of the German labor market, we separately analyze men and women and, due to the rigid German labor market, additionally account for job changes as a potential moderator. We use three-wave panel data covering a period of nine years from the German National Educational Panel Study. Our results from fixed-effects regressions show that there is substantial heterogeneity in the relationship between changes in non-routine job tasks and wages by gender and between those who have or have not changed jobs, which is masked when looking at average wage differentials by non-routine job tasks. While both genders benefit from increased task complexity in job changes, the impact is more pronounced for females, helping to slightly narrow the still persistent gender wage gap. However, when taking on more autonomous tasks in job changes, males experience significant benefits, further contributing to the widening of the gender wage gap. In essence, our findings underscore gender-specific monetary returns to increasing non-routine tasks, particularly highlighting the ability of male job changers to monetarize their newly assigned tasks.
Indirect Executive Accountability of Prime Ministers
Authors: Kamijo Akitaka
Published: August 2023

In parliamentary democracies, voters delegate the power of replacing the chief executive to the more knowledgeable legislators. Does this indirect accountability mechanism enable voters to have a competent prime minister (PM) as expected from agency and signaling theories? I analyze this problem from the perspective of intra-party politics in the PM's party, focusing both on legislators' incentive to signal their leader's competence to voters and on the PM's incentive to stay in office by maintaining the support of the legislators in the PM's party. Using a formal model, I show that the PM's accountability to legislators is beneficial for voters. However, I also show that if we consider that the PM can use their delegated authority and resources to maintain the legislator's support, this benefit of indirect accountability is in general diminished and sometimes eliminated. Furthermore, I analyze the effect of the clarity of the PM's responsibility on voter welfare and show that PM's responsibility being clearer is not always good for voters.
EdTech myths: towards a critical digital educational agenda
Authors: Guerrero Cristóbal Suárez , Rivera-Vargas Pablo , Raffaghelli Juliana Elisa
Published: August 2023

Myths are universal narratives linked to objects, shaping social and personal identities. Technologies generate modern myths, influencing choices and impacting our lives. The present study focuses on EdTech myths. From a qualitative methodological approach based on codesign, five relevant EdTech myths are identified. Subsequently, the analysis was carried out from (1) a hermeneutic approach, based on the authors’ experience in the field of EdTech, and (2) a review and contrast of relevant scientific literature. The results explain, firstly, why these myths arise and persist in EdTech; secondly, the study can help to demystify them. In general, EdTech myths impoverish digital technology-mediated education because they consider it from an extensively reductionist perspective, especially from EdTech capitalism. This is why we need to pay more attention to EdTech myths, to set up an educational agenda leading to action categories and the critical transformation of the education–technology relationship.
Motherhood, Legal Status, and COVID-19: How Immigration Policies Shaped the Pandemic Experiences of Latina Immigrant Mothers
Authors: Delgado Vanessa
Published: August 2023

Immigration status is an important axis of stratification for Latino/a immigrants in the United States. This chapter examines how immigration status shaped the pandemic experiences of undocumented and documented Latina immigrant mothers. Drawing on 20 in-depth interviews, I argue that previous systems of exclusion became magnified during the pandemic and that immigration status bifurcated the pandemic experiences among documented and undocumented mothers. Findings reveal how undocumented and documented mothers faced uneven access to safety nets, negotiated the pressures of motherhood, and turned to family for support to weather the strains of the pandemic. Implications for policy and research are discussed.

Chapter 26 in Exploring Inclusive & Pedagogies: Creating Space for All Learners, ACRL, 2023. In this chapter, we share our experiences designing and teaching Gender and Sexuality in World History, an undergraduate history course in which students work together to research and produce a new class volume of an open access primary source reader. In designing the course and implementing our primary strategies of ungrading and open pedagogy, we centered trust, connection, and joy as both critical structures of and desired outcomes of an equitable class community.
La pandemia o el fracaso de la política
Authors: Miranda David G.
Published: August 2023

Ante una amenaza global, a la especie humana, en un mundo plenamente interconectado, ¿estamos renunciando a la construcción multilateral de una comunidad global? ¿Cuáles son los fallos de la política? La lucha por la supervivencia nos conduce a los extremos de lo político, a la excepcionalidad como norma, agravada por un legado dedesigualdad social y desequilibrio ecológico, que es necesario afrontar desde las bases del pensamiento.
Ideological and affective polarization in multiparty systems
Authors: Leininger Arndt , Grünewald Felix , Buntfuß Nelly
Published: August 2023

Inspired by increasingly partisan politics in the US, a burgeoning literature on affective polarization applies the concept to multiparty systems. While there are many literature reviews on polarization in the US, as of yet there exists no comparable stocktaking of comparative research on polarization in multiparty systems. This review article fills this gap by providing a comprehensive overview of relevant concepts and operationalizations of ideological and affective polarization in multiparty systems and by summarizing comparative research on the causes and consequences of polarization in these systems. The review also makes an empirical contribution by creating and analyzing cross-national data on polarization to scope the relationship between ideological and affective polarization across several measures. We present the data and measures online in an accompanying Encyclopedia of Polarization.

Actores, conflictos y reformas en sociedades de comunicación global

Published: August 2023

Durante décadas hemos estado acostumbrados a comentar y analizar la evolución, transformación y las problemáticas de nuestra sociedad y región en la que nos situamos, más allá de si se trata de Europa, Norteamérica, América Latina o Asia. Sin embargo, cada vez somos más conscientes de que por primera vez nos situamos y enfrentamos a transformaciones y problemáticas globales, es decir, a temas que tienen que ver con el mundo entero. A día de hoy, no tiene mucho sentido hacer previsiones sobre la evolución de Europa occidental, del Cono Sur, o de América Latina de manera independiente y no podemos porque estamos en una situación de globalización y en un momento de pensar global. Ahora bien, el pensar global conlleva múltiples dimensiones, pero seguramente la más importante es aumentar –si es posible– el nivel de abstracción, de generalidad en la capacidad de prever cambios y tendencias que se avizoran en el mundo entero. Laglobalización no se trata de clasificar a los países de hipermodernos o postmodernos.Más bien se trata de asumir que todos los países están conectados a través de relaciones de poder y de dependencia con elementos comunes de transformación económica, social y cultural, cuyas consecuencias impactan en todo el mundo. Por tanto, más allá de hablar de Chile, Cataluña, España y Europa en específico, en general estamos hablando de fenómenos que implicarán a diferentes partes del mundo. De todas maneras, este modo de observación no es un ejercicio fácil, ni tampoco estamos hablando necesariamente de buenas noticias

Published: August 2023

Brazilian beef cattle stands out in the national and international economic scene due to the improvements in production rates achieved in recent years. Genetic improvement is one of the main tools that guarantee the growth and development of livestock, while reproduction biotechniques, such as artificial insemination, in vitro embryo production and embryo transfer are used in order to increase selection efficiency, genetics and consequently accelerate genetic improvement in the herd. Given the importance of genetic improvement and reproduction biotechniques, this review will present data on tools available in raising beef cattle to raise production levels, aiming at a positive impact on the herd.

Systemic hypotension is the most frequent complication of inhalational anesthesia in horses and is directly related to increased post-anesthetic morbidity and mortality. The treatment of hypotension depends on the physiological cause and can be performed with positive chronotropic, inotropic and vasopressor drugs, individually or combined. However, there are few drugs used in horses and the effects of these drugs on cardiovascular support in these animals during anesthesia are poorly described. For this reason, this study aimed to report the action of metaraminol (Aramin®), a vasopressor with direct and indirect action on adrenergic receptors, in the correction of hypotension in a horse submitted to elective orchiectomy, anesthetized with isoflurane and continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine. Cardiovascular changes with different infusion rates of 1, 2 and 4 µg/kg/min are described. Metaraminol reversed hypotension at a rate of 4 µg/kg/min, increasing systolic blood pressure by 93 mmHg, mean blood pressure by 74 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure by 66 mmHg, and reduced cardiac output by 7.1 L/min and heart rate to 32 bpm, in relation to mean arterial pressure of 58 mmHg, cardiac output of 13.4 L/min and heart rate of 36 bpm at the expired rate of 1.3% isoflurane. Furthermore, it improved cardiac contractility at the rate of 2 and 4 µg/kg/min and did not cause arrhythmia at any infusion rates.
Importância do colostro na espécie equina

Published: August 2023

With the growth of equine farming in Brazil, knowledge about the equine species and its particularities has become essential. For horses to reach a healthy adulthood and become fit for their various purposes, it is not unknown that some care practices for newborns are crucial. Among them is passive immunization through maternal colostrum. It is known that foals are born extremely sensitive, as they acquire few immunoglobulins during fetal life due to the characteristics of the mare's placenta that do not allow for this exchange. Therefore, they are dependent on the immunity acquired postpartum through quality colostrum, and this must be guaranteed from the mother's health during pregnancy through adequate sanitary, prophylactic and environmental management, and appropriate nutritional control for each gestational phase. Apart from that, the breeders and caretakers of these animals must always be attentive to the sucking of that first milk, as the rate of colostrum absorption gradually decreases in the postpartum period, so the animal must be under observation until it ingests it. That is, colostrum care begins long before the birth of the foal and only ends when it becomes immunocompetent.
