Thyroid hormones have an important function in numerous physiological processes in humans and animals, including the regulation of metabolism, growth and development of individual and reproductive function. The thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), have a direct effect on the reproductive organs and an indirect effect in interaction with other hormones. Thyroid hormones influence the reproductive system by regulating metabolism and tissue development of the ovaries, uterus and placenta. Changes in the serum concentrations of T3 and T4 lead to disturbances in overall body function. Thyroid dysfunction, including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, can lead to significant reproductive problems. The aim of this review was to describe the functions of thyroid hormones and the effects of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism on the animal reproductive system. Hypothyroidism is often caused by autoimmune diseases such as lymphocytic thyroiditis, and is associated with later puberty, reduced fertility and abnormalities in reproductive organ development. Hypothyroidism can lead to a prolonged interval, absent cycles, silent oestrus cycles, prolonged oestrus bleeding, and a lack of libido, with the occurrence of infertility, miscarriages, stillbirths and mummified foetuses. In males, hypothyroidism leads to a decrease in libido, semen quality, ejaculate volume, testicular atrophy, hypospermia and azoospermia. Hyperthyroidism, on the other hand, is usually the result of thyroid cancer, which produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormones. Increased concentrations of thyroid hormones lead to disturbances in the physiological balance of reproductive hormones, irregular oestrus cycles, anovulation and reduced fertility, as well as a decrease in the weight of the ovaries and the number of healthy follicles, with a simultaneous increase in the number of atretting follicles. The effects of hyperthyroidism on male fertility include disorders of spermatogenesis, changes in sex hormone levels and changes in sperm quality, such as hypospermia, oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia and teratozoospermia. It is important to diagnose and treat thyroid disorders in time in order to prevent negative effects on fertility and reproduction in animals.

Colic in horses is an emergency frequently encountered by clinicians. Prompt and precise evaluation of each case is mandatory to determine the need for surgery. Prognosis evaluation is also a crucial part of the decision-making process regarding management options. The present study evaluates the relevance of routinely used haematology and biochemistry blood parameters at the time of patient admission as tools to determine the aetiology type and prognosis of colic cases. Clinical exams and blood analysis were drawn from 46 horses admitted with signs of acute abdominal pain. Horses were further divided into groups according to type of colic and survival. Heart rate, respiratory rate and temperature differed significantly between survivors and non-survivors. Serum albumin and lactate were also reliable prognostic factors. Similarly, heart rate, serum albumin and gamma-glutamyl transferase concentrations differed significantly between strangulating and non-strangulating colic types. Clinical exams and blood parameters can efficiently guide clinicians during the evaluation of horses with signs of abdominal pain.
Seroprevalence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis Infections in Small Ruminants in Europe
Authors: Quintas Hélder , Benavides Júlio , Jacob-Ferreira João , Afonso Paulo , Coelho Ana Cláudia
Published: November 2024

Paratuberculosis, also known as Johne’s disease, is a granulomatous enteritis in both domestic and wild ruminants caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Understanding the prevalence of this disease in small ruminants is essential for disease control and prevention strategies. A systematic review of the literature was conducted using the PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scopus databases to identify all articles reporting Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) seroprevalence in sheep and goats in Europe, published from January 2006 to December 2023. The initial search for existing publications reporting systematic reviews and primary studies was carried out by searching the available databases. For the final selection of studies, an initial screen for basic eligibility and a detailed appraisal of quality were performed. After the study selection, the relevant data was extracted. The detailed appraisal generated 21 publications that reported 55 studies, 22 (40.0%) from sheep (12 at the animal-level and 10 at the flock-level) and 28 (50.9%) from goats (17 at the animal-level and 11 at the flock-level), and 5 (9.1%) from mixed small ruminant species at the animal level. In total, 34 (61.8%) were animal-level studies and 21 (38.2%) were flock-level studies. Population and inclusion criteria were highly variable among studies. Sample sizes ranged from 291 to 15,585 animals. Most studies reported testing adult animals (over 24 months of age). Commercial ELISA kits were used in most studies. The highest prevalence was obtained in sheep (100%) in Türkiye, and the lowest was found also in sheep (0.7%) in Austria. Overall, the results suggest that MAP antibodies have been frequently detected among small ruminants in some countries and there is a need for standardisation of case definitions to improve the accuracy of prevalence estimates. Further research is needed to understand the risk factors associated with MAP infection in small ruminants and to develop effective control and prevention strategies.

Supercritical water (SCW) can be an effective cooler for nuclear reactors. All sorts of research on the subject of SCW are very important, especially bearing in mind that SCW is a non-polar solvent, while subcritical water is a polar solvent. Irradiation leads to an increase in corrosion and migration of some metals into the volume of the SCW. The transition from the supercritical state to the normal state and inversely contributes to the synthesis of substances in the SCW. On the inner surface of the convection loop, a film of corrosion products is formed, which are minerals that can protect the metal from corrosion.

For cooling and thermostatting of linear electron accelerators (LEAs), ordinary tap water from underground sources was used, which has a fairly significant salt content. During the operation of the LEA, as a rule, scale is deposited on the heating surfaces, in addition, process pipelines are clogged, which interferes with the efficient operation of the equipment, and in some cases leads to it’s damage. A study of the quality of both tap water and water from cooling systems was carried out. Conductivity and pH measurements were used for continuous
monitoring. Elemental analysis of salts present in waters was performed by emission spectral analysis with inductively coupled plasma on the ICPE-9000 Shimazu spectrometer and mass spectrometric method. It is
recommended to flush cooling systems with dilute nitric acid to stop the decrease in conductivity.

Published: November 2024

The main parameters of samples irradiation on the linear helium ions accelerator are presented as well as of TiO2 irradiated characteristics. It is experimentally shown that with irradiation dose increasing, helium ion energy of 0.12 MeV, the volume electrical resistance and surface electrical resistances on the front and back sides of samples
decrease, the loss angle tangents and relative dielectric permittivities increase. The primary processes, namely: the sputtering, ionization, phonons and vacancies formation, segregation, damage have been calculated. The analysis of experimental and calculated data has shown that a model based on processes of the excitation and propagation of
elastic waves in a concept of the long-range effect most physically correctly describes the changes in electrophysical characteristics of the irradiated samples.

Published: November 2024

This study examines the impact of endogenous factors on the return on assets ratio in publicly owned deposit banks in Turkey. The sample of the study covers 44 quarters of data of publicly owned deposit banks between 2013:1-2023:4 and the data are obtained from the website of the Banks Association of Turkey. In the study, linear regression analysis is applied. In the findings, the null hypotheses regarding the autocorrelation and variance problems and the specification error of the model are rejected since these problems are not present in the model. The results indicate statistically significant and positive association between return on assets ratio and return on equity ratio and fixed assets/total assets. However, there is a statistically insignificant and negative correlation between return on assets ratio and capital adequacy ratio and total loans/total assets.
Governance Cooperation in a Conflict-Ridden Context: The Case of the GIFT-MENA Network
Authors: El Moubayed Bissat Lamia , Hatem Sabine , Rihan Carl
Published: November 2024

This book undertakes an institutional analysis of the GIFT-MENA network with a focus on its operations and operational challenges. It examines the network's attempt at establishing a permanent platform for cooperation and knowledge transfers in the field of governance and Public Financial Management amidst the region’s volatile landscape. The early chapters delve into the network’s early years by focusing on the network’s action environment and objectives, namely the promotion of State modernization, good governance, and Public Financial Management through a “South-South” cooperation framework at a time when a regional State modernization agenda had been adopted. This period, marked by ambitious yet donor-dependent operations, saw the successful roll-out of training, research, partnership-building, and technical assistance initiatives geared towards fostering a community of practice among public sector institutions across the region. The later sections of the book analyze the network’s operations in the course of the “Arab Spring” and “Arab Winter” (2011-2017), particularly in relations to shifts in donor financing on one hand and the priorities of the region’s institutions on the other. These chapters demonstrate how shifts in donor priorities in relation to political prerogatives on one hand and the ambivalence of the region’s States ultimately brought the network to a standstill. The book then provides recommendations for the design of future inter-Arab governance networking initiatives.

A good communication is reflected in the use of good and appropriate language. Politeness in a language is an important thing that needs to be considered in communication. However, often the problem of politeness in language becomes an obstacle for the younger generation in using Balinese. For that reason, a research on politeness in language related to the use of good and appropriate language in using Balinese is very important to do. Data of this research is written data of Balinese folklore. To obtain good research results, the data collection method applied in this study is the observation method with the help of notes. The data analysis used matching and distributional methods with intralingual and extralingual techniques. The data was analyzed referring to the view that living language (used orally and in writing) represents facts about nature, society and culture that exist in its environment so that in addition to being a social fact, language is also a record of natural facts as a sign of the relationship between humans and their natural environment. This study shows that the principle of politeness includes the principle of politeness and the principle of cooperation. Related to the two principles, the forms of compliance with the principle of politeness and the principle of cooperation, the forms of violations of the two principles, and the reasons why violations of the two principles of politeness can occur are studied.

One of the primary contributors to the inflation rate in West Nusa Tenggara Province is the fluctuation of prices for food commodities. The objective of this study is to examine the extent to which fluctuations in food commodity prices, including those of rice, red chili, and shallots, contribute to inflationary trends in West Nusa Tenggara. The data used is monthly data on inflation and food commodity prices from 2019-2023 obtained from BPS (Central Bureau of Statistics), DKP (Food Security Agency), and the Agriculture Office of West Nusa Tenggara Province. The analysis method used is vector autoregression (VAR), which includes stationarity test, VAR stability test, optimal lag test, cointegration test, VAR estimation, impulse response function (IRF), and variance decomposition. The results of this study indicate that in the short term premium rice prices, curly red chili prices, and shallots do not affect inflation. Conversely, in the long run, the variable price of shallots does not affect inflation, while the variable price of premium rice and curly red chili prices exert an influence on inflationary pressures in West Nusa Tenggara Province. The Variance Decomposition Test indicates that the price of curly red chili contributes 37.24 percent to inflation in the fifth period, while premium rice has an effect of 8.66 percent on inflation in the second period and shallots have an effect of 7.93 percent on inflation in the fifth period.

This study aims to carefully review published articles examining the effect of active rest with exercise to prevent the risk of musculoskeletal injuries among pharmacy workers. Using the systematic literature review method, data were obtained from a thorough search on Google Scholar. The keywords were "Active Rest AND Exercise AND Injury Risk AND Musculoskeletal AND Pharmacy Worker AND Ergonomics". Additionally, inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to select articles that align with the study objective. For example, it focused on articles indexed in the Scopus database and published between 2019 and 2024. For standard operationalization, this study followed the PRISMA method. Based on the search results, 6,850 articles were found from various sources. Furthermore, the articles went through several stages of the screening process, in which 8 articles that fit the theme and met the inclusion requirements were selected. The results of this study found that active rest programs had a positive impact on the work productivity, physical activity, and physical fitness of pharmacy workers. In addition, an occupational safety and health (OSH) program, a supportive work environment, and the promotion of an active lifestyle with exercise were also important in improving productivity. Adjustment of active rest programs for specific types of workers, effective behavior change interventions, ergonomic education, and multimodal physical therapy have been shown to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. The findings of this study support the assumption that a comprehensive intervention program can prevent musculoskeletal injuries, improve employee well-being and comfort, and provide guidance for healthcare practitioners and pharmaceutical company managers in designing effective active rest programs.

Published: November 2024

Cesium (Cs-137) radiation energy was shined on two aerogel samples made from two different starting materials at room temperature and pressure three times a day for one hour, two hours, and twenty-four hours. G1 and G2 were used as silicic acid sources to fabricate the two different types of aerogel samples. G1 represents tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), while G2 represents sodium silicate (Na2SiO3). Field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed the morphological characteristics of the molecular bonds and the impact of irradiation on them. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy investigated the molecular bonds and their characterization before and after exposure to radiation. The samples made from TEOS at room temperature and pressure were not affected by radiation in either the FTIR or FESEM tests. However, the samples made from Na2SiO3 at room temperature and pressure showed that some of the peaks were disappearing because they were exposed to radiation. Also, the peaks of the CH3 functional group are associated with the hydrophobicity of the material. The homogeneity and uniformity for all samples are dominant, and the size of the colloidal particles is about 30-33 nanometers (nanometer structure), which is no different from the size of the particles before and after exposure to gamma rays.

Investigation of Copper Anodization Products with Temperature and Chemical Solution Changes
Authors: Hashim Mustafa , Salih Haitham
Published: November 2024

The rapid breakdown anodization (RBA) process was used to modify the copper surface and produce copper oxide powder. The effects of the temperature and inhibitors like glycerol and ethylene glycol were studied. The rate of corrosion increased dramatically at low temperatures, whereas it decreased at high temperatures. Cubic Cu2O particles were formed on the anode. Their volumes increased with increasing temperatures. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images show the production of semispherical particles in the powder formed at low temperatures, but these particles congregate and combine at high temperatures. After using the glycerol, octahedron and semispherical Cu2O particles were formed on the anode and cathode, respectively. The findings confirm the concept that the anodizing process's temperature may be utilized for controlling the oxide to metal ratio. Significant slowing of the anodic process occurs at high ratios for both inhibitors.
Numerical solution of singular Poisson equations using sinc approximation
Authors: Al sagheer Aya Nadhim Abdul Hasan
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In this article, we use the Sinc approximation to solve the single Poisson problem (where the first derivative or higher order does not have an exact answer on the border of the boundary). We have examined the Sinc Galerkin approximation to solve the single Poisson problem, and finally, to solve the Poisson problem, we will use the sinc collocation method and in this method, we will reach a linear system. By carefully choosing the length of the steps and the number of nodal points, we will solve this system with two methods, with the orthogonalization technique, a numerical approximation will be obtained. Its accuracy can be exponential and of order  where  is a transaction parameter and c are a constant independent of N. In the final part, we will give some numerical examples of single Poisson problems.

Quantum Carry Research of Q1D – SE on Helium at Charged Substrate
Authors: Nikolaenko Viktor A. , Sokolov Sviatoslav S.
Published: November 2024

Known in nanoelectronics a solid-state quantum size systems motivate creating like systems using the surface electrons on liquid helium. The quantum carry of quasi-one-dimensional surface electrons (Q1D-SEs) over superfluid helium is considered here. Research is conducted based on an electron phase diagram in the gas phase under conditions far from electron quantum melting. A substrate is dense row of the light guide segments where the SEs channels are formed over helium in the fiber gaps between. The electrostatic model of substrate profile demonstrates modulation of potential in the electric field leading to possibility of the fiber top charge thereby improving the Q1D-SEs channels' quality. The experiments carried out by a low-frequency electron transport method at the temperature from 1.5 K to 0.5 K and the concentrations of electrons were up to 109cm−2. The SE movement transverse to the channel satisfies quantization conditions in terms of both temperature and electron relaxation time in the system. According to the experiment, below a certain temperature, the SE conductivity is ladder-like. The differential of SE conductivity is peak-like corresponding qualitatively to an electron states density. The distance between peaks accords to the 1D energy spectrum in some approach. Possibility of applying the 1D-SEs quantized energy levels (vibration levels) as quantum bits for a quantum computer is considered.

Authors: Ryntathiang Iadalin , Krishna GM Shajni , Sekar Sivasankari , Behera Archana , Tamil Selvan Silambarasan , Jothinathan Mukesh Kumar Dharmalingam
Published: November 2024

Flower waste has emerged as a noteworthy issue, especially in the context of India’s growing floriculture sector. According to the Indian floriculture market report, specifically, the floriculture market is growing at a very high Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11%. 4% expected between 2024 and 2032. However, flower waste is still considered as one of the growing issues in the environment but is rarely addressed. Floral remains are among the most common organic wastes that are often dumped in landfills or any water bodies hence polluting the environment and emitting greenhouse gases including methane and carbon dioxide. This review aims at reviewing new strategies of converting floral waste into bioenergy and other products, presenting a sustainable solution to this issue. Some of the approaches like anaerobic digestion and solid-state fermentation are presented as efficient ways of utilizing floral waste in production of energy like biogas and bioethanol and other valuable products like organic fertilizers and natural dyes. This way, it is possible to decrease the negative effects of the floriculture industry and support the sustainable development goals by using the floral waste as valuable materials. Furthermore, these approaches not only help in reducing pollution but also in offering other sources of energy hence serving two major goals of environmental conservation and energy security. The sustainable management of floral waste can therefore go a long way in addressing some of the current environmental issues and at the same time promote the circular economy

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Patients with special needs often experience a high incidence and severity of malocclusions, which can negatively impact their quality of life. They also frequently encounter challenges in accessing orthodontic treatments.
Objectives: This study evaluates the attitudes of pediatric dentists and orthodontists towards providing orthodontic treatment to patients with special needs and analyzes the main challenges faced in treating these patients.
Materials and Methods: A survey was conducted among 38 dentists with postgraduate training in pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, or both. The survey included 9 questions about their experiences and perceptions regarding the dental and orthodontic treatment of patients with special needs, as well as their professional attitudes.
Results: The sample included 38 participants, with 39.57% men and 60.53% women. Most had 5-10 years (36.8%) or 10-20 years (23.7%) of experience. Training was divided equally among orthodontics (34.21%), pediatric dentistry (34.21%), and both fields (31.57%). Of the respondents, 68.4% infrequently treated patients with special needs, and 71.1% provided occasional treatment. None refused orthodontic treatment; 65.8% would attempt it if necessary. The primary challenges were lack of patient cooperation and low demand for such treatments. A majority (73.7%) believed the benefits of treatment outweighed the drawbacks, and 81.6% expressed willingness to treat these patients with additional training.
Conclusions: Enhanced training for both professionals and the families of patients with special needs is crucial for improving access to orthodontic care, which is significantly beneficial for these patients' quality of life
