Authors: Han Jung Suk , Choi Bum Soon , Park Cheol Whee , Choi Yeong Jin , Yang Chul Woo , Lee Han Hee , Ban Tae Hyun
Published: June 2022

Crohn’s disease is usually diagnosed according to intestinal symptoms, but extra-intestinal manifestations are important in approximately one-third of cases. Although several extra-intestinal symptoms associated with various organs have been reported, renal involvement is uncommon in patients with Crohn’s disease. Tubulointerstitial nephritis in a patient with Crohn’s disease is usually caused by infection, sarcoidosis, or medications. However, primary tubulointerstitial nephritis caused by Crohn’s disease alone is extremely rare. A 19-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital because of an increase in serum creatinine level. He underwent a kidney biopsy with renal insufficiency. Renal histological findings revealed granulomatous tubulointerstitial nephritis. Thereafter, a colonoscopy was performed with suspicion of Crohn’s disease. Ultimately, he was diagnosed with granulomatous tubulointerstitial nephritis based on Crohn’s disease. The patient had improved gastrointestinal symptoms after the last treatment. This case report presents a rare case of primary tubulointerstitial nephritis caused by Crohn’s disease.
The Use of Palliative Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Enterostomy to Treat Small Bowel Obstruction in Two Patients with Advanced Malignancies
Authors: Oh Ji Hong , Hong Seung Goun
Published: June 2022

Recurrent or refractory small bowel obstruction in postsurgical patients with advanced malignancies poses therapeutic dilemmas. Although some promising results have been achieved as small bowel endoscopic techniques advanced, palliative stent placement is both challenging and complex. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided anastomosis using a lumen-apposing metal stent has been recently used during gastroenterostomy to treat benign or malignant gastric outlet obstruction. Data on the outcomes of EUS-guided enterostomy in patients with recurrent small bowel obstruction are lacking, although the technique is applicable throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract. We recently encountered recurrent or refractory small bowel obstruction in two poor surgical candidates. For the first case, we performed EUS-guided enterostomy to treat a recurrent obstruction after conventional stent insertion. The second case underwent EUS-guided transenteric stent placement to treat refractory small bowel obstruction associated with diffuse peritoneal carcinomatosis after failure of a conventional “push” endoscopic procedure.
Wilderness Medicine: Impacts from the Weather, Water, and World
Authors: Liu Amy , Whiteis Alicia
Published: June 2022

Pediatricians play an important role in the prevention of injuries and provide families with anticipatory guidance regularly. As more families are traveling and spending time outdoors, we must be adept at providing them with knowledge and resources to set them up for success on their adventures. Prevention and preparation frequently can help limit injuries sustained in the wilderness. This article will focus specifically on injuries related to the environment (eg, cold weather injuries, heat-related illnesses) and travel location (eg, high-altitude illness, marine-related injuries, diving medicine).

Decay estimates for the $ 3D $ relativistic and non-relativistic Vlasov-Poisson systems
Authors: Wang Xuecheng
Published: June 2022

We study the small data global regularity problem of the \begin{document}$ 3D $\end{document} Vlasov-Poisson system for both the relativistic case and the non-relativistic case. The main goal of this paper is twofold. (i) Based on a Fourier method, which works systematically for both the relativistic case and the non-relativistic case, we give a short proof for the global regularity and the sharp decay estimate for the \begin{document}$ 3D $\end{document} Vlasov-Poisson system. Moreover, we show that the nonlinear solution scatters to a linear solution in both cases. The result of sharp decay estimates for the non-relativistic case is not new, see Hwang-Rendall-Velázquez [9] and Smulevici [23]. (ii) The Fourier method presented in this paper serves as a good comparison for the study of more complicated \begin{document}$ 3D $\end{document} relativistic Vlasov-Nordström system in [24] and \begin{document}$ 3D $\end{document} relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system in [25].

Bifurcation analysis and optimal control of a delayed single-species fishery economic model
Authors: Gao Xin , Zhang Yue
Published: June 2022

In this paper, a single-species fishery economic model with two time delays is investigated. The system is shown to be locally stable around the interior equilibrium when the parameters are in a specific range, and the Hopf bifurcation is shown occur as the time delays cross the critical values. Then the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcated periodic solutions are discussed. In addition, the optimal cost strategy is obtained to maximize the net profit and minimize the waste by hoarding for speculation. We also design controls to minimize the waste by hoarding for the speculation of the system with time delays. The existence of the optimal controls and derivation from the optimality conditions are discussed. The validity of the theoretical results are shown via numerical simulation.
Employee-Based Brand Equity and Factors of Employee-Brand Association
Authors: Bari Muhammad Waseem , Shahzadi Irum
Published: June 2022

Employee-based brand equity (EBBE) is a gauge for an organization's brand equity as employees provide valued brands to external customers through their skills, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Employees are equally important in brand-based equity as their consistent behavior and positive attitudes support the brand requirements and customer brand perception. EBBE is vital for any organization's long-term survival. Therefore, it is important to unfold the factors that influence employees' behaviors in building brand association. In this chapter, the authors enlisted several factors that could possibly boost employees' involvement in making the organization's products successful and building a positive brand image. Brand-related information generation, knowledge dissemination, human factor, openness, role clarity, brand commitment and knowledge, brand orientation, brand quality, brand experience, brand awareness and image, brand association, and brand loyalty are those key factors that can fortify EBBE. Organizations can upsurge their profitability graph by investing in these factors.
Knowledge-Hiding Behaviors and Employee-Based Brand Equity
Authors: Saqib Shahnawaz , Rubab Azha , Pitsaphol Chatchai
Published: June 2022

This chapter begins with the simple operative definition of brand equity, previously studied in the context of consumers only, and then extends the notion to employee-based brand equity. This reading suggests that once marketers were challenged to build positive brand equity amongst their customer base to gain a competitive advantage. In contrast, the dynamic world has triggered researchers toward other aspects to gain competitive advantage, such as employee-based brand equity (EBBE), because human capital can add value to the organizations. The second part of this chapter illustrates the role of knowledge hiding as a phenomenon in shattering the EBBE. The debate concludes by providing a framework and recommending that future researchers explore the EBBE due to knowledge hiding practices.

Published: June 2022

Given the Great Silk Road and other megaprojects, China's position on the world stage in general is expanding. An area where the Sino-US confrontation could create a deplorable situation in the Middle East is China's attempts to introduce new global digital infrastructure and communication standards. The pandemic has affected global consumption and demand volumes. Presumably, China and its partners primarily want to assess the situation, how trade and tourism are changing on the planet in the face of a global pandemic. It is also interesting to see how the countries participating in the One Belt One Road initiative will continue to jointly invest directly in ongoing projects beyond their borders. The aim of the chapter is to assess China's influence based on analysis its policies in the Middle East region and its implemented and planned trade and business projects as well as an assessment of the results we might expect in the long run amid increased competition between global actors in the oil region.

Authors: Rehman Zahoor Ur , Shahbaz Muhammad Saeeed , Abu Seman Noor Aslinda , Mubarik Muhammad Shujaat
Published: June 2022

Environmental pollution caused by apparel production and consumption is rapidly capturing public attention and has formed positive intentions towards sustainable apparel purchasing; however, this increase in interest and positive intentions has not resulted in the increase of actual purchase behaviors towards sustainable apparel. The purpose of this review is to identify and explain all of the major drivers and barriers of sustainable apparel consumption. This study systematically reviewed 33 empirical studies on sustainable apparel purchase intention and behavior from 2016 to 2020. The review found and described a variety of prevalent motivations, facilitators, and barriers influencing purchasing decisions about sustainable clothing and suggesting potential reasons for documented inconsistencies in purchase behavior. All these factors are grouped and discussed in two categories that are product-related attributes and individual-related attributes.
Revisiting Job Rotation and Stress
Authors: Sood Hitu , Ong Chin Ean
Published: June 2022

There is scant research on job rotation and stress; however, as workplaces undergo major transformation due to the pandemic, this topic takes on significance in the emerging hybrid work environment. Literature illustrates that job rotation is known to enhance employee interest, reduce physical stress on employees involved in physical jobs, improve employees' skills and confidence, and provide relief from exhaustion due to repetitive tasks as well as due to psychologically negative jobs. However, learning new skills, performing new tasks, and reporting to new people can hinder employee performance and cause stress that negatively impacts employee well-being. This conundrum needs more insight given the current changes brought on due to the pandemic, which has led to more hybrid and/or virtual workplaces, changes in work organization, and altered working styles. Therefore, the way job rotation is conducted and organized needs an overhaul too.

Authors: Walker Jason , Circo Deborah K. , Alzner DaLissa , Bearss Erica , Stephenson Laura G.
Published: June 2022

Workplace bullying is a severe, violent, and pervasive issue present across the industry worldwide. Typically defined as interpersonal mistreatment that is more severe than incivility, it is a complex, deliberate, and maladaptive group of harmful actions towards individuals and creates oppressive work environments. Bullying can range from derogatory comments towards a target to social isolation and physical violence. Individuals typically evolve into the perpetrator role due to low self-esteem, dark personality traits, and anger management difficulties. Harassment and abusive incivility by managers and supervisors directed towards employees are associated with severe adverse and long-term outcomes, including psychological trauma, mental health disorders, and in extreme cases, suicide. The prevalence of workplace bullying ranges between 10-20% in multiple domains and cultures. When considering the economic, psychological, and health costs of incivility in the workplace, the epidemic of workplace bullying requires comprehensive prevention, intervention, and postvention strategies.

Authors: Sreekumaran Nair Sree Lekshmi , Aston John , Kozlovski Eugene
Published: June 2022

The present study examines the impact of job satisfaction on occupational stress of IT employees working in both developed and developing economies (India and the UK). Generally, occupational stress is considered to have the negative impact on the individual as well as the organization's performance. The study has adopted the application of the Spector JSS survey to consider the job satisfaction of the employees using the five-point Likert scale. The role conflict, role ambiguity, role overload, and role stress are considered in relation to occupational stress. Quantitative approach has been adopted by combining area cluster sampling, purposive and convenience sampling to gather 200 quantitative responses (100 from India and 100 from the UK) through questionnaire and analyzed through IBM SPSS 24.0. The results demonstrated that there is a significant impact of job satisfaction on the occupational stress in the IT sector of the UK and India.
Modelling Socio-Digital Customer Relationship Management in the Hospitality Sector During the Pandemic Time
Authors: Mahmoud Ali B. , Berman Alexander , Tehseen Shehnaz , Hack-Polay Dieu
Published: June 2022

The chapter builds on previous research and offers an updated theoretical model to determine the relationships among social media technologies, customer experience flow, customer relationship management, brand loyalty, word of mouth, firm performance, and customer engagement across a set of moderators in pandemic time. In line with the literature, customer engagement serves as a mediator that fully translates the effects of social media technology, customer flow experience, and customer relationship management into positive levels of brand loyalty, word of mouth, and firm performance. However, all of the relationships conceptualized in the model are hypothesized to be moderated by COVID-19 developments and perceptions.
Liberian Gangs
Authors: Williams Kamil
Published: June 2022

While research in the United States still grapples to understand the formation and persistence of gangs, American gangs' impact and influence on other populations across the globe are astonishing. One of these places of influence, Africa, has a long collective history of social, political, and economic turmoil, creating a space for social inequalities that some would consider the foundational grounds for criminal deviance and social chaos. When providing a comparative criminological lens, gangs tend to emerge from historical trauma, rooted in poverty and fueled in growth by national and international media and cultural influences.
An Analysis of the Gaps in the Legislative, Policy, and Institutional Frameworks for the Protection of Children in Conflict With the Law in Kenya
Authors: Omondi Scholastica A.
Published: June 2022

This chapter analyzes the existing legislative, policy, and institutional framework for protecting child offenders within Kenya's Juvenile Justice System (JJS). The Kenyan JJS is undergoing numerous transformations, yet the current legislative and institutional frameworks for child protection do not comprehensively protect child offenders and require further reform. This chapter is divided into four parts: Part I introduces the Juvenile Justice System in Kenya. Part II examines the existing legislative, policy, and Institutional Framework for the Juvenile Justice System in Kenya. Part III summarizes the implementation gaps in the Juvenile Justice System in Kenya, while Part IV concludes the discussion and provides recommendations to enhance the protection of child offenders in Kenya.
Victim-Centred or System-Serving?
Authors: Osiro Moses Adama
Published: June 2022

This chapter analyses the key legislative and policy developments in Kenya designed to enhance victims' participation in criminal proceedings, with a focus on the initiatives mandating victim participation in sentencing through the use of victim impact statements. It argues that while victim-oriented policy and legislative developments in Kenya rhetorically include victims in the criminal process, the manner and form of inclusion betrays an overarching thrust to accentuate criminal justice goals, rather than the victims' interests per se. This is revealed by the selectivity by which victimhood is constructed, to include only victims whose input has evidentiary remit at sentencing as well as the inclination to give a premium to the evidentiary utility of victim impact statements from the vantage of judicial officers, while giving short shrift to its value to victims. Victim subjectivity appears to be telescoped by the need to limit such participation to its evidential value in consonance with the bipartite structure of the adversarial trial in which the victim has no party status.
Reverberations Between the French and Colonial Carceral Systems in Algeria (1830-1962)
Authors: Dolcerocca Antoine
Published: June 2022

This chapter examines the relations between French carceral practices and those implemented at different stages of the colonization process in Algeria from the invasion of 1830 to the independence. It breaks down Algerian colonial history into three eras: the military invasion, the settlers' rule, and the war of independence. It demonstrates how the implementation of carceral policies and its various trends (along the axis of reform and punishment) emerged and receded in different periods in France and Algeria, and how these practices in the metropolitan center and the colonial periphery on either side of the Mediterranean influenced one another.
Civic Integration, Desistance From Crime, and Lessons Learned From the Zanzibar 2015 General Elections
Authors: Sungi Simeon P.
Published: June 2022

Criminological studies provide evidence from the existing literature to support research on the correlation between economic and social stability and desistance from crime. Ex-offenders who acquired stable work and family relationships were able to develop positive identities and became productive and responsible law-abiding citizens. Although no research study has correlated desistance from crime and voter inclusivity, it is logical to assume that voter inclusivity is similar to work and/or family reintegration. This chapter attempts to examine the correlation between voter inclusivity and desistance from crime while reflecting on the Zanzibar general elections 2015. The choice of Zanzibar as a case study is arbitrary but a rich case study because the archipelago is a tourism hub in East Africa and has a youthful population. Moreover, democratic space in Zanzibar has provided room for coalition governance and political tolerance. The chapter concludes that voter inclusivity contributes to lower crime rates, economic empowerment, social harmony, and safer communities.
Gender and Access to Justice and Uganda's Criminal Justice System
Authors: Naigaga Winfred Kyobiika
Published: June 2022

Using Uganda as a case study, this chapter discusses culture and its contribution to poverty, illiteracy, restricted movement, silence syndrome, and gender biases and stereotypes in the legal and institutional framework as barriers and obstacles to access to justice. The chapter also discusses significant strides in legislation and judicial activism on topics such as specialized courts, domestic violence, community service, marital rape, and the battered woman syndrome among others in a bid to foster access to justice. However, a glaring need to repeal gender-biased laws and carry out continued education and sensitization to raise awareness against gender discrimination is also noted. The chapter seeks to raise awareness of the obstacles and barriers that women and men face along gender lines while navigating the criminal justice system.
An Overview of Prosecutorial Powers in Kenya
Authors: Murigi Henry K.
Published: June 2022

Individual liberty, which traces its roots to the renaissance, is the core of every democratic society. When the state powers of prosecution are invoked, the idea of individual liberty comes into sharp focus. The colonial era in Kenya saw the misuse of prosecution power to dominate and eliminate threats to the stability of the colonial masters. This practice and misuse of prosecutorial power were carried forward by successive governments demonstrating utter disregard for individual liberties. This chapter identifies this as a historical fault line to the independent prosecutorial powers. There was a great departure after the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya in 2010 paving the way for prosecutorial independence. The structural independence of state powers of prosecution seems to complement the functional operations of the office of the Director of Public Prosecution. The chapter will consider whether this is an identifiable or implicit fault line with the potential to threaten individual liberty.
Sources and Pathways of Marine Litter
Authors: Maione Carol , Fernandez Gabriela
Published: June 2022

Plastic pollution is a global transboundary threat to the planet's marine resources. Tracking pollution is crucial to implement effective marine management strategies on coastal and island regions, where mismanaged plastics are most at risk of entering the ocean. However, the uncertainty of sources and pathways of marine litter poses a major challenge to the assessment of marine pollution. This chapter reviews the principal sectors and human activities contributing to plastic pollution, the mechanisms by which plastic enters the ocean, and some possible drivers of marine litter, including the growing role of coastal tourism on small developing islands. It also outlines future directions for meaningfully integrating research, material accounting, and prevention actions to mitigate the infiltration of plastic pollution in the marine environment, via proper monitoring, assessment, and reporting on plastic material flows from source to sink.
Approach of the Circular Economy in the Field of Precast Elements and Buildings. Limits, Trends, and Perspective
Authors: Cobîrzan Nicoleta , Muntean Radu , Thalmaier Gyorgy , Felseghi Raluca-Andreea
Published: June 2022

The precast concrete industry has a relatively short history but a rapid development due to the increased demand for construction since the 1950s. Large or small-sized precast elements were used for construction of buildings making a continuous contribution to the development of the construction industry and the built stock. The development of new materials with the addition of natural and artificial fibers, binders, or aggregates as secondary raw materials, and high thermal performance materials, innovative joints for an easily disassemble or photovoltaic integrated in their structure are measures considered in the current context of climate neutrality as being necessary to increase the precast circularity or buildings energy performance. Precasts were mainly used due to their lower production and labor cost or reduced execution time, representing a good option for the future construction sector. The chapter presents the background, technical and economic shortcomings of the precast, their trends and development prospects in materials circularity, and recovery rate increase.
Oral Microbes in Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia: Practice and Research Implications
Authors: Rathbun Kimberly Paige , Bourgault Annette M. , Sole Mary Lou
Published: June 2022

Background

Hospital-acquired pneumonia accounts for 25% of all health care–associated infections and is classified as either ventilator-associated or non–ventilator-associated pneumonia. Hospital-acquired pneumonia most frequently results from aspiration of oropharyngeal secretions into the lungs. Although preventive measures for ventilator-associated pneumonia are well established, few preventive measures exist for the nonventilator type.

Objective

To (1) explore oral microbes associated with ventilator-associated and non–ventilator-associated pneumonia in acutely ill, adult hospitalized patients, and (2) provide evidence-based recommendations for measures to prevent pneumonia in hospitalized patients.

Methods

A literature search was conducted using CINAHL, Academic Search Premier, Medline, and the Cochrane Library.

Results

Ten studies were found that identified common oral microbes in ventilator-associated and non–ventilator-associated pneumonia, including Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, S aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Collectively, oral colonization with E coli, P aeruginosa, methicillin-resistant S aureus, and S aureus increased the risk of nonventilator pneumonia. Findings also suggested microaspiration of colonized oral microbes into the lungs. Non–ventilator-associated pneumonia had similar colonization rates of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, whereas ventilator-associated pneumonia had greater colonization with gram-negative bacteria. The literature did not indicate a standard of oral care effective in all patient populations.

Discussion

Oral care is an effective intervention to prevent hospital-acquired pneumonia by reducing pathogenic oral microbial colonization. The impact of different methods and timing of oral care on oral microbes should be further explored, particularly in patients not receiving mechanical ventilation.

Conclusions

Findings reaffirm the importance of consistent oral care in hospitalized patients. In addition, practices should be different in patients receiving mechanical ventilation versus patients not receiving ventilation. Results may also provide knowledge to inform future preventive measures for pneumonia, particularly for nonventilator pneumonia.

Substandard and falsified medicines are an enormous threat to global health. Poor quality antibiotic preparations contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance. In surgery, where the occurrence of healthcare-associated infections is high, healthcare teams need to rely on the quality of antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent infections. We assessed the quality of antibiotics used for surgical infection prophylaxis in Benin. Thirty-three samples were collected from six hospitals located in various departments in Benin. The antibiotics (powders for injection: amoxicillin + clavulanic acid, ampicillin, ceftriaxone; solutions for injection: ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, metronidazole) were assessed using visual inspection, pharmacotechnical tests (including uniformity of mass, pH measure, sterility test, and active pharmaceutical ingredient identification), and assay tests (including a simple analytical method thin layer chromatography) and complex analytical techniques (ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, high-performance liquid chromatography—diode-array detection, conductometry). Because the material needed for the methods recommended by the pharmacopeias to assess the dosage of gentamicin was not available, we developed and validated a conductometry method. Results showed that 97% (n = 32) of the samples passed visual inspection; 100% (n = 33) of the samples passed the pharmacotechnical tests, identification of active ingredients, and sterility test; 88% (n = 29) passed the test for percentage of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Overall, 15% of the samples did not pass the quality test (3% on visual inspection and 12% for excess active ingredients). Although most of the samples passed the quality tests, it appears important to perform routine quality control for intravenous medicines.

Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: Patient blood management (PBM) promotes the routine detection and treatment of anaemia before surgery, optimising the management of bleeding disorders, thus minimising iatrogenic blood loss and pre-empting allogeneic blood utilisation. PBM programmes have expanded from the elective surgical setting to nonsurgical patients, including those in intensive care units (ICUs), but their dissemination in a whole country is unknown.
METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional, anonymous survey (10 October 2018 to 13 March 2019) of all ordinary medical members of the Swiss Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the registered ICU nurses from the 77 certified adult Swiss ICUs. We analysed PBM-related interventions adopted in Swiss ICUs and related them to the spread of PBM in Swiss hospitals. We explored blood test ordering policies, blood-sparing strategies and red blood cell-related transfusion practices in ICUs.
RESULTS: A total of 115 medical doctors and 624 nurses (response rates 27% and 30%, respectively) completed the surveys. Hospitals had implemented a PBM programme according to 42% of physicians, more commonly in Switzerland’s German-speaking regions (Odds Ratio [OR] 3.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23–9.35; p = 0.018) and in hospitals with more than 500 beds (OR 3.91, 95% CI 1.48–10.4; p = 0.006). The PBM programmes targeted the detection and correction of anaemia before surgery (79%), minimising perioperative blood loss (94%) and optimising anaemia tolerance (98%). Laboratory tests were ordered in 70.4% by the intensivist during morning rounds; the nurses performed arterial blood gas analyses autonomously in 48.4%. Blood-sparing techniques were used by only 42.1% of nurses (263 of 624, missing: 6) and 47.0% of physicians (54 of 115). Approximately 60% of respondents used an ICU-specific transfusion guideline. The reported haemoglobin threshold for the nonbleeding ICU population was 70 g/l and, therefore, was at the lower limit of current guidelines.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on this survey, the estimated proportion of the intensivists working in hospitals with a PBM initiative is 42%, with significant variability between regions and hospitals of various sizes. The risk of iatrogenic anaemia is relevant due to liberal blood sample collection practices and the underuse of blood-sparing techniques. The reported transfusion threshold suggests excellent adherence to current international ICU-specific transfusion guidelines.

Nepotpuna prehrana životinja pa tako i ovaca, može dovesti do narušavanje homeostaze organizma, smanjenja proizvodnje, pojave bolesti pa i do uginuća. Vitamin D označava skupinu usko povezanih tvari koje posjeduju antirahitičnu aktivnost. Među vitaminima jedinstven je po tome što je jedini koji se u organizam ne unosi samo hranom (sijeno, a u mesojeda hrana animalnog podrijetla), već se u organizmu (koži) stvara i uz pomoć sunčeve svjetlosti. Uobičajeno je da pašno držane ovce rijetko kad trebaju dodatke vitamina D. To je stoga jer ovce ukoliko su izložene UVB zračenju, odnosno sunčevoj svjetlosti mogu nadoknaditi manjak vitamina D u hrani sintezom vitamina D unutar kože. No, ukoliko je izloženost ovaca suncu smanjena dugotrajnom naoblakom ili uzgojem u zatvorenom te kada je sadržaj vitamina D2 u hrani nizak, tada unesena količina vitamina D može biti nedostatna. U janjadi se deficit vitamina D očituje pojavom rahitisa, a u odraslih ovaca pojavom osteomalacije te hipokalcemije. U ovaca se obično javlja u kasnom graviditetu, ali je zabilježena i u životinja različite dobi. Slijedom svega navedenoga cilj je ovoga preglednoga rada je upoznati doktore veterinarske medicine s novim saznanjima o ulogama i metabolizmu vitamina D u ovaca te njegovom značenju za zdravlje i održavanje proizvodnih sposobnosti jedinke, odnosno stada.

Este artículo pretende contribuir a los trabajos que, desde abordajes etnográficos, se desarrollan alrededor del hashtag y la imagen de la protesta feminista onlife plasmada en Instagram. Detallo la inmersión en Instagram, la labor de hacerse de un archivo de materiales en el trabajo etnográfico digital y el apoyo de softwares para sistematizar y visualizar. Me aproximo al # como un artefacto y a la visualidad como una materialidad digital que permiten construir un archivo para adentrarme a la complejidad de prácticas de los feminismos estudiadas desde plataformas sociodigitales. Presento desafíos y decisiones metodológicas que enfrenté con el caso del #NoNosCuidanNosviolan y #NomeCuidanMeviolan en Chile y en México; y elaboro algunas de las posibilidades y limitantes de la utilización de software para la codificación de estas materialidades al elaborar un archivo de lo visual y visualizarlo. Concluyo que la construcción y codificación de un archivo visual etnográfico a partir de un hashtag, puede ser potenciada y contenida con la combinación softwares, donde se juega la imaginación y cercanía de quien investiga.
Plataformización: algoritmos y datificación en la conversación virtual en Twitter

A partir de datos observacionales, el artículo examina cómo la plataforma social Twitter modela el debate público. Consideramos para este estudio los datos que surgieron de la actividad de los usuarios que tuitearon o retuitearon el evento mediático (#Uribe) que se produjo tras la decisión de una corte colombiana de dictar medida de aseguramiento contra el expresidente Álvaro Uribe. Los mensajes de interés se recolectaron entre el 17 de agosto al 17 de septiembre de 2020. Con estos datos se analiza la estructura de la red para ubicar el rol que desempeña la plataforma en el modelado de los eventos sociales. Los datos fueron capturados conectando la API de Twitter con el software estadístico RStudio. Los resultados sugieren que el diseño algorítmico de la plataforma desempeña un papel importante en la forma que adopta el debate público en la red. De esta forma, la investigación contribuye a la literatura que sugiere que la plataforma de redes sociales no son dispositivos neutrales, sino que más bien moldean los acontecimientos sociales con fines comerciales.

Immunization is a worldwide and development success story as many of the children were protected from communicable diseases. Immunization frames the significant focal point of youngster endurance programs all through the world. Approximately 3 million youngsters pass on every time of antibody preventable infections with an unbalanced number of these kids living in agricultural nations. In India, vaccination has been a focal objective of the medical services framework Constitutionally, medical care is on the State's rundown of obligations and is supported by the State. It is one of a handful of the 100% halfway supported family government assistance programs and offers help for antibody capacity, preparing of clinical and paramedical staff, and all foundation needs intended for conveying inoculation to new born children at the town level.

The article presents the results of studies of the influence of a large industrial enterprise on the soil cover. It is shown that the enterprise for the production of building materials significantly affects the agrochemical and biological indicators of soils. This is manifested primarily in the change in the acidity of soddy-podzolic sandy loamy soils and the shift in the pHKCl index towards alkalization. It has been established that soils with slightly alkaline (pHKCl from 7.06 to 7.42) and alkaline environmental conditions (pHKCl from 7.55 to 8.09) prevail in this zone. The features of the course of enzymatic processes in soils subject to gas and dust pollution have been established. The levels of activity of redox (catalase, dehydrogenase) and hydrolytic (invertase, urease) enzymes were determined in the distance gradient from the source of pollution and along the directions of air mass propagation. There is a decrease in the activity of these enzymes in soddy-podzolic sandy loamy soils of forest and agricultural lands as one approaches the source of pollution. It is shown that within a radius of up to 2 km from the source of pollution, the soils of forest and agricultural lands are characterized as very poor in terms of enrichment with the studied enzymes. According to the results of the correlation analysis, there is a change in the influence of the reaction of the soil environment on the studied enzymes with a statistically significant negative relationship.

The results of a comparative study of the effect of the duration of LED lighting are presented (8, 10, 12, 14, 16 hour) on 13 characteristics of the biochemical composition of vegetable peas microgreens (Pavlusha variety) - the content of dry, tannic and pectin substances, free organic, ascorbic and hydroxycinnamic acids, soluble sugars, total protein and albumins, the main groups of bioflavonoids and the indicator of the sugar acid index. The dry matter content in the studied samples was 9.3-11.8 %, the content of free organic, ascorbic and hydroxycinnamic acids in the dry mass was 4.35-8.46 %, 359.8-487.8 mg/100 g and 1465.1-1956.0 mg/100 g, respectively. The content of soluble sugars was from 8.8 to 13.2 % with significant variant differences in the indicator of the sugar acid index, which varied in the range of 1.04-3.03. At the same time, the parameters of the accumulation of pectin substances were 3.884.54 %, the content of tannins - 1.23-1.92 %. The almost complete absence of anthocyanin pigments in the pea microgreens was found, the content of flavonols varied in the range of 1711.7-2189.2 mg/100 g, and catechins - 376.7-483.0 mg/100 g. At the same time, a high content of proteins and their valuable part - soluble proteins (albumins), which varied in mg/g of dry weight in the ranges of 412.3-443.4 and 8.38-18.0, was found in the microgreens. The considerable width of the ranges of variation of the biochemical characteristics of the micro-green peas testified to their significant dependence on the duration of LED lighting, which was ambiguous. The least significant changes in the biochemical composition of peas microgreens relative to the control (12 hours duration) were detected at 10 and 14 hours of illumination duration, while the greatest - at 8 and especially at 16 hours duration. At the same time, the highest integral level of nutritional and vitamin value of products according to the totality of biochemical characteristics is set at 14 hours of illumination, while the minimum is at 8 hours.
