La naturaleza de este estudio está enmarcada dentro de la complejidad que representa el procesamiento del lenguaje audiovisual y requirió un tratamiento metodológico que abarcara distintas dimensiones de la realidad desde una perspectiva holística. Finalmente, se presenta un  modelo original que resulta aplicable, puesto que su viabilidad quedó validada a través del juicio de expertos
Before the Medicine Line
Authors: Hall Ryan
Published: August 2017

This article argues that Blackfoot people played a central role in the emergence of the northwest plains as a vibrant borderland between British and U.S. fur trade empires. When the British Hudson’s Bay Company monopolized the northern fur trade in 1821, Blackfoot traders abandoned their previous opposition to American expansion and deliberately encouraged U.S. trading companies to expand onto the Upper Missouri River. In so doing, the Blackfeet forced fur trading companies to compete for their favor and gained crucial economic and political advantages over their neighbors. This episode reveals the centrality of indigenous agency to early western geography, sheds new light on the ways Indian people understood and created borderlands relationships, and underscores the importance of linking early U.S. and Canadian history.
“Into the Dark Cold I Go, the Rain Gently Falling”
Authors: Nakamura Kelli Y.
Published: August 2017

During World War II, authorities arrested and incarcerated Japanese on the island of Hawai‘i due to racist fears. Many scholars skim over the details of the incarceration of residents of Hawai‘i island and other islands as part of the larger narrative of O‘ahu incarceration, where authorities held Japanese at sites like Sand Island and Honouliuli. However, these lives and experiences are meaningful to understanding the incarceration experience in Hawai‘i and expanding the focus beyond O‘ahu to encompass the neighbor islands and rural areas—two areas still in need of study in order to understand the history of Hawai‘i’s Japanese.
Surviving the Bomb in America
Authors: Wake Naoko
Published: August 2017

This article explores the little-known history of Japanese American survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. By focusing on this particular group of survivors with a careful attention to their layered citizenship, national belonging, and gender identity, the article makes important connections between the history of the bomb and the history of immigration across the Pacific. U.S. survivors were both American citizens and immigrants with deep ties to Japan. Their stories expand our understanding of the bomb by taking it out of the context of the clash between nations and placing it in the lives of people who were not within a victors-or-victims dichotomy. Using oral histories with U.S. survivors, their families, and their supporters, the article reveals experiences, memories, and activism that have connected U.S. survivors to both Japan and the United States in person-centered, relatable ways. Moreover, the article brings to light under-explored aspects of Asian America, namely, significant intersections of former internees’ and bomb survivors’ experiences and the role of older women’s agency in the making of Asian American identity. In so doing, the article destabilizes the rigidly nation-bound understanding of the bomb and its human costs that has prevailed in the Pacific region.
Análisis de supervivencia como alternativa metodológica para estimar probabilidades de incumplimiento de los deudores de créditos corporativos y a grandes empresas en el Perú
Authors: Uriarte Cáceres Fátima , Agüero Palacios Ysela
Published: August 2017

El cálculo de probabilidades de incumplimiento puede mejorarse si se incorporan variables adicionales que pueden predecirse y que están asociadas a los cambios en la situación financiera de los deudores y en la situación económica. La inclusión de estas variables es posible mediante el uso del análisis de supervivencia. En el presente documento, se realiza una aplicación del modelo de riesgos proporcionales de Cox para identificar algunas variables explicativas del riesgo de incumplimiento de los nuevos deudores de créditos corporativos y a grandes empresas. Las características del deudor (sector económico, endeudamiento, rentabilidad, tamaño de la empresa), del crédito (saldo inicial, porcentaje en moneda extranjera, porcentaje de garantías), la agrupación de la entidad y el índice de confianza empresarial fueron identificados como factores de riesgo significativos para el incumplimiento en el pago de los créditos de las empresas corporativas y grandes.
Utilización de tres niveles de jugo de pimiento al 0.2, 0.4 y 0.6 % como antioxidante y dos tipos de tripa (natural y de colágeno) para embutir en la elaboración de chorizo fresco
Authors: Ricaurte Ortiz Paul , Arboleda Álvarez Luis , Baño Ayala Darío
Published: August 2017

En la actualidad existe un uso indiscriminado en la industria cárnica de aditivos sintéticos ante lo cual en la presente investigación se propone el uso de jugo de pimiento como antioxidante y dos tipos de tripa; se aplicó un diseño completamente al azar con 8 tratamientos y 3 repeticiones. Los resultados del análisis físico químico determinaron que respecto al contenido de humedad, proteína y grasa se obtuvo los mejores resultados al utilizar el T3 (0,6 %) de jugo de pimiento y embutirlo en tripa sintética. Los ensayos organolépticos se realizaron con jueces escogidos al azar, quienes calificaron las muestras sobre un total de 20 puntos de los cuales el mejor puntaje obtuvo T3(0,6%) con una valoración de 17.86 puntos, y la tripa sintética obtuvo17.32 sobre la natural con 16.21 puntos. Las pruebas microbiológicas presentan valores dentro de los parámetros permitidos por la norma INEN 1344-96, lo que determinan que el producto es aptos para el consumo humano. El costo de producción del chorizo se incrementa con la utilización de tripa sintética ya que se obtuvo un menor beneficio costo (1.15).

Published: August 2017

OBJECTIVES:

To assess hospital differences in empirical antibiotic use, bacterial epidemiology, and antimicrobial susceptibility for common antibiotic regimens among young infants with urinary tract infection (UTI), bacteremia, or bacterial meningitis.

METHODS:

We reviewed medical records from infants <90 days old presenting to 8 US children’s hospitals with UTI, bacteremia, or meningitis. We used the Pediatric Health Information System database to identify cases and empirical antibiotic use and medical record review to determine infection, pathogen, and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. We compared hospital-level differences in antimicrobial use, pathogen, infection site, and antimicrobial susceptibility.

RESULTS:

We identified 470 infants with bacterial infections: 362 (77%) with UTI alone and 108 (23%) with meningitis or bacteremia. Infection type did not differ across hospitals (P = .85). Empirical antibiotic use varied across hospitals (P < .01), although antimicrobial susceptibility patterns for common empirical regimens were similar. A third-generation cephalosporin would have empirically treated 90% of all ages, 89% in 7- to 28-day-olds, and 91% in 29- to 89-day-olds. The addition of ampicillin would have improved coverage in only 4 cases of bacteremia and meningitis. Ampicillin plus gentamicin would have treated 95%, 89%, and 97% in these age groups, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS:

Empirical antibiotic use differed across regionally diverse US children’s hospitals in infants <90 days old with UTI, bacteremia, or meningitis. Antimicrobial susceptibility to common antibiotic regimens was similar across hospitals, and adding ampicillin to a third-generation cephalosporin minimally improves coverage. Our findings support incorporating empirical antibiotic recommendations into national guidelines for infants with suspected bacterial infection.
Pediatric Chronic Critical Illness: Reducing Excess Hospitalizations
Authors: Boss Renee D. , Williams Erin P. , Henderson Carrie M. , Seltzer Rebecca R. , Shapiro Miriam C. , Hahn Emily , Hutton Nancy
Published: August 2017

OBJECTIVES:

The past 2 decades have seen an expanding pediatric population that is chronically critically ill: children with repeated and prolonged hospitalizations and ongoing dependence on technologies to sustain vital functions. Although illness complexity prompts many hospitalizations, our goal with this study was to explore modifiable patient, family, and health system contributions to excess hospital days for children with chronic critical illness (CCI).

METHODS:

Semistructured interviews were conducted with 51 stakeholders known for their CCI expertise. Stakeholders were from 5 metropolitan areas and were either (1) interdisciplinary providers (inpatient and/or outpatient clinicians, home health providers, foster care affiliates, or policy professionals) or (2) parents of children with CCI. Interview transcripts were qualitatively analyzed for themes.

RESULTS:

All stakeholders agreed that homelike settings are ideal care sites for children with CCI, yet in every region these children experience prolonged hospitalizations. The perceived causes of excess hospital days are (1) inadequate communication and coordination within health care teams and between clinicians and families, (2) widespread gaps in qualified pediatric home health services and durable medical equipment providers, (3) inconsistent parent support, and (4) policies that limit pediatric service eligibility, state-supported case management, and nonhospital care sites.

CONCLUSIONS:

Despite an expanding pediatric population with CCI, we lack an intentional care model to minimize their hospitalizations. In this study, we generate several hypotheses for exploring the potential impact of expanded access to home nursing, robust care coordination, and family and clinician support to reduce hospital days for this population of high health care utilizers.
Multicenter Observational Study of the Use of Nebulized Hypertonic Saline to Treat Children Hospitalized for Bronchiolitis From 2008 to 2014
Authors: Davis Joshua , Thompson Amy D. , Mansbach Jonathan M. , Piedra Pedro A. , Hasegawa Kohei , Sullivan Ashley F. , Espinola Janice A. , Camargo Carlos A.
Published: August 2017

OBJECTIVES:

Among children hospitalized for bronchiolitis, we examined temporal trends in the use of hypertonic saline (HTS) and the characteristics associated with receiving this treatment.

METHODS:

We conducted a secondary analysis of data from 2 large, multicenter prospective cohort studies that included young children hospitalized with bronchiolitis during 5 winter seasons (2008–2014). Our outcome was receipt of HTS any time during the preadmission visit or hospitalization. For comparison with the observed trends in HTS use, we conducted a PubMed literature review of studies evaluating HTS use for bronchiolitis. We classified publications according to their assessment of HTS efficacy (positive, negative, or neutral).

RESULTS:

Among 2709 hospitalized children, 241 (8.9%) received HTS. There was marked variability in HTS use by site (0%–91%), with use more common among children admitted to the ICU than those treated on the ward (31% vs 15%). Over the study period, administration of HTS increased from 2% during the 2008–2009 season to 27% during the 2011–2012 season, but then it decreased to 11% during the 2013–2014 season. Before 2010, the number of PubMed HTS publications ranged from 0 to 3 articles per year, with all classified as either positive or neutral. The number of positive publications increased in 2010 (n = 5), whereas negative publications peaked in 2014 (n = 4).

CONCLUSIONS:

Use of HTS in children hospitalized with bronchiolitis increased during the 2008 to 2012 winter seasons and then declined. These findings paralleled trends in the HTS literature, with positive articles encouraging HTS use in early years followed by a growing number of neutral and negative articles after 2012.
High-Expenditure Pharmaceutical Use Among Children in Medicaid
Authors: Cohen Eyal , Hall Matt , Lopert Ruth , Bruen Brian , Chamberlain Lisa J. , Bardach Naomi , Gedney Jennifer , Zima Bonnie T. , Berry Jay G.
Published: August 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Medication use may be a target for quality improvement, cost containment, and research. We aimed to identify medication classes associated with the highest expenditures among pediatric Medicaid enrollees and to characterize the demographic, clinical, and health service use of children prescribed these medications.

METHODS:

Retrospective, cross-sectional study of 3 271 081 Medicaid-enrolled children. Outpatient medication spending among high-expenditure medication classes, defined as the 10 most expensive among 261 mutually exclusive medication classes, was determined by using transaction prices paid to pharmacies by Medicaid agencies and managed care plans among prescriptions filled and dispensed in 2013.

RESULTS:

Outpatient medications accounted for 16.6% of all Medicaid expenditures. The 10 most expensive medication classes accounted for 63.9% of all medication expenditures. Stimulants (amphetamine-type) accounted for both the highest proportion of expenditures (20.6%) and days of medication use (14.0%) among medication classes. Users of medications in the 10 highest-expenditure classes were more likely to have a chronic condition of any complexity (77.9% vs 41.6%), a mental health condition (35.7% vs 11.9%), or a complex chronic condition (9.8% vs 4.3%) than other Medicaid enrollees (all P < .001). The 4 medications with the highest spending were all psychotropic medications. Polypharmacy was common across all high-expenditure classes.

CONCLUSIONS:

Medicaid expenditure on pediatric medicines is concentrated among a relatively small number of medication classes most commonly used in children with chronic conditions. Interventions to improve medication safety and effectiveness and contain costs may benefit from better delineation of the appropriate prescription of these medications.

Authors: Longhi Raquel Ritter , Lenzi Alexandre
Published: August 2017

A produção de conteúdos em Realidade Virtual (RV) marcou o ano de 2016 no ciberjornalismo. Definida também como jornalismo imersivo, esta tendência, que inclui imagens estáticas e em movimento em 360 graus, terceira dimensão e realidade aumentada, entre outros recursos, deve ser incrementada em 2017, em um direcionamento para a inovação nos conteúdos expressivos. Isto é o que apontam várias experiências que têm sido conduzidas nas redações por jornais de referência. A partir de um estudo em duas redações de periódicos de língua espanhola e suas produções inaugurais nesse tipo de conteúdo, este artigo discute o caráter inovador da RV para o jornalismo e suas implicações nos processos de produção. A metodologia inclui uma breve revisão de literatura sobre inovação, jornalismo imersivo e em RV, entrevistas com profissionais e descrição de conteúdos selecionados, procurando refletir sobre de que forma o crescimento deste tipo de jornalismo pode transformar os métodos de trabalho e produção nas redações.

The Use of the Internet Sources in the Professional Development of Preschool Teachers / Uporaba internetskih izvora u profesionalnom razvoju odgajatelja
Authors: Prtljaga Predrag , Savić Zoran
Published: August 2017

Abstract In the first part of the paper, the importance of preschool education in modern society is considered with regard to the principles of contemporary education, pointing to the need for the professional improvement of preschool teachers, so that they are capable of reaching the expected standards. The paper further focuses on the competences and developed reflections of preschool teachers, as well as on the need to create conditions for preschool teachers to shift from the analogue to the digital educational world through ICT trainings, which should lead to the use of adequate Internet sources. The empirical part deals with the answer to the question regarding the extent to which preschool teachers use electronic sources in their professional work as compared to conventional sources, their prior experience and the existing documentation. According to the main research findings, regardless of their gender, work experience or level of education, the preschool teachers use the Internet sources less than other conventional sources in order to improve the quality of their work. On the other hand, certain differences were found between them considering their prior work experience, i.e. subjects with less work experience use electronic sources to a greater extent than their more experienced colleagues. The final part of the paper provides some concluding remarks and implications of the conducted research.  Key words:  competences; reflection; Web portals.---SažetakU prvom dijelu rada razmatra se važnost predškolskog obrazovanja u suvremenom društvu s obzirom na načela suvremenog obrazovanja te ukazuje na potrebu stručnog usavršavanja odgajatelja koji će biti sposobni dostići očekivane standarde. Rad se zatim bavi kompetencijama i razvijenom refleksijom odgajatelja, kao i nužnim stvaranjem uvjeta u kojima će se odgajatelji udaljiti od svijeta analognog i približiti svijetu digitalnog obrazovanja putem ICT usavršavanja, što će dovesti do uporabe odgovarajućih internetskih izvora. U empirijskom dijelu rada traži se odgovor na pitanje do koje se mjere u profesionalnom radu odgajatelji koriste elektroničkim izvorima u usporedbi s konvencionalnim izvorima informacija, njihovim prethodnim iskustvom i postojećim dokumentima. Prema glavnim istraživačkim rezultatima, bez obzira na rod, radno iskustvo ili obrazovnu razinu, odgajatelji se koriste internetskim izvorima manje nego konvencionalnim izvorima da bi unaprijedili kvalitetu rada. No, utvrđene su određene razlike među njima s obzirom na radno iskustvo, to jest ispitanici koji imaju kraće radno iskustvo više se koriste elektroničkim izvorima od svojih iskusnijih kolega. U završnom dijelu rada nude se zaključci i praktične implikacije provedenog istraživanja.Ključne riječi:  kompetencije; refleksija; mrežni portali.

Trong mùa khô (tháng 4 năm 2014 và tháng 3 năm 2015), chương trình hợp tác khoa học và công nghệ giữa Việt Nam và Hoa Kỳ, và đề tài độc lập mã số VAST-ĐLT.06/15-16 đã thực hiện 2 chuyến khảo sát nhằm mục đích điều tra sự lắng đọng và phân bố theo không gian, thời gian của hàm lượng trầm tích lơ lửng dưới sự chi phối chủ yếu bởi các quá trình thủy động lực như sóng, dòng chảy, lưu lượng nước sông. Ngoài ra, chúng tôi còn khảo sát ảnh hưởng của dòng triều trong mối tương quan với hàm lượng trầm tích lơ lửng. Ba trạm đo liên tục trong 12 giờ các yếu tố trầm tích lơ lửng, mực nước và dòng chảy được đặt trên thềm châu thổ (topset) ở độ sâu 8 m, sườn châu thổ (foreset) ở độ sâu 15 m và chân châu thổ (bottomset) ở độ sâu 25 m, các trạm được đặt cách nhau 3 km. Trong đó, nồng độ trầm tích lơ lửng (SSCs) trong giới hạn kích thước hạt từ 1,25 µm đến 250 µm và đường kính hạt được đo bằng máy LISST-25X (Suspended Sediment Sensor), mực nước, vận tốc và hướng dòng chảy được đo bằng máy ADCP. Kết quả phân tích số liệu cho thấy phân bố đường kính hạt của trầm tích lơ lửng theo thời gian trên thềm châu thổ, sườn châu thổ, chân châu thổ là khác nhau và chúng không biến động nhiều theo pha triều. Trong khi đó, hàm lượng trầm tích lơ lửng (SSCs) tương quan với vận tốc dòng chảy và dao động theo pha triều. Trầm tích lơ lửng lắng đọng vào lúc thuỷ triều chuyển trạng thái (từ triều rút sang triều dâng hoặc ngược lại) và được tái hoạt động trở lại khi tốc độ dòng chảy tăng trong pha triều lên và pha triều xuống. Các số liệu khảo sát cho thấy rằng sự tăng của tốc độ dòng chảy trong pha triều lên đã gây ra sự tái lơ lửng của trầm tích đáy và làm tăng hàm lượng trầm tích lơ lửng. Tại các pha triều lên ứng với vận tốc dòng chảy lớn, trầm tích lơ lửng được dịch chuyển nhanh hơn và ngược lại tại pha triều xuống, tốc độ dòng chảy thấp hơn đã làm tốc độ dịch chuyển của trầm tích chậm lại.

A TV Pública é midiatizada? Um estudo sobre o conceito de telejornalismo midiatizado aplicado ao telejornalismo público brasileiro
Authors: Oliveira Filho José Tarcísio , Coutinho Iluska , Thomé Cláudia
Published: August 2017

O trabalho discute os efeitos da midiatização no telejornalismo público brasileiro. A metodologia consiste na análise de cinco edições do noticiário Repórter Brasil (TV Brasil) através de quatro eixos: autorreferencialidade, correferencialidade, descentralização e dialogia. Os resultados apontam que há distanciamento entre o conteúdo produzido e as categorias de análise. Porém, tais percepções não permitem afirmar que a TV Pública não é influenciada pelo ambiente midiatizado.

Apontando para o público uma multiplicidade de imagens midiáticas do conflito em Canudos enquanto uma realidade ficcional.
An Investigation into the Effect of Reader Response Approach on EFL Learners’ Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary Retention and Test Anxiety
Authors: Biglari Nazanin , Farahian Majid
Published: August 2017

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of the reader-response approach on EFL (English as foreign language) learners’ reading comprehension, retention of vocabulary and test anxiety. To achieve this goal, out of a sample of sixty EFL learners who were selected to participate in the study 52 were assigned into two groups. During the study, a reader-response approach was used as the treatment, and the quantitative data were collected through the anxiety questionnaire, reading and vocabulary tests. MANCOVA was run to compare and determine the performance of the two groups. Based on the findings, the reader-response approach in teaching English to EFL learners, does not improve the reading comprehension and vocabulary retention of EFL learners. Furthermore, no significant differences were observed in the level of vocabulary acquisition and the reading comprehension of both groups. It was also found that the reading response approach contributed to the decrease in the experimental group’s test anxiety.
Identification and Molecular Characterization of B-Tubulin Gene from Dermatophyte Pathogen Microsporum Canis
Authors: Uthman Aumaid
Published: August 2017

Microsporum canis is the most common pathogen causing dermatophytosis in dogs and cats, which can transmit the pathogen to humans. The disease is increasing in many European countries. Studies regarding the structure, expression, and organization of M. canis genes have been relatively limited because of it's non-aggressive and non-life threatening nature. Microtubules are essential cytoskeleton polymers in all eukaryotes. They are made of α and β-tubulin heterodimers. In this study the DNA and the structural organization of β-tubulin gene of M. canis is described. The DNA of 2487 bp has been identified and sequenced. The ORF of 1341 bp encoding a protein of 447 amino acids with a molecular weight of 49.8 kD is interrupted by eight introns (56-187bp). The gene is highly homologous to β-tubuli of Trichophyton rubrum (%98) and A spergillus parasticus (%91). This data may form one of the bases for the development of molecular investigation of dermatophyte fungi M. canis.

Authors: Marbeen Marah , Bra Dhaher , Ghalib Ayla
Published: August 2017

This is a randomized blind controlled prospective study included 123 males with primary infertility referred from private clinics from May 2004 to May 2005. ELISA was used to detect the antisperm antibodies in the seminal fluid of infertile males (60 patients with normal seminal fluid analysis and 63 patients with abnormal seminal fluid analysis). It was found that there was no significant difference in the incidence of antisperm antibodies between infertile males with normal seminal fluid analysis (10%) and those with abnormal seminal fluid analysis (%15.8) p>0.05, but most of infertile males with abnormal seminal fluid analysis (8 out of 10) their antibody titre was within high level (100-115) U/ml, while 5 out of 6 infertile patients with normal seminal fluid analysis, their antibody titre was with low level (60-75) years in both groups (infertile patients with normal seminal fluid analysis and abnormal seminal fluid analysis) and most affected infertile males were those with duration of infertility of 6-10 years. There was significant association (p<0.05) between smoking habit and abnormal seminal fluid analysis, while there was no significant difference between smoker and non smoker infertile males in the incidence of antisperm antibody (p>0.05).

Denture stomatitis is the most common condition which affects the palatal mucosa in 50% of wearers of complete or partial removable dentures. The etiology of denture stomatitis is multicausal, a wide range of both local and systemic predisposing conditions maybe involved in its pathogenesis, The present study involved a clinical survey on the-most predisposing local factors among 40 patients (18 male, 22 female)in the ,development of denture stomatitis within denture wearers attended Prosthodontics clinic of the College in Sulaimani Governorate Their age ranged from 45- 75 years. The study showed that denture stomatitis of pinpoint hyperplasia occurred in %30 of the cases, diffuse erythema found in 55% and inflammatory papillary hyperplasia in %15. We observed that most of these cases were caused by chronicinfection by candida albicans associated with mechanical injury due to wearing dentures day and night constantly arnang (%74.2) of cases and (25.7%) in those wearing their dentures during the day only. It is concluded that in order to prevent or minimize the extent of these lesions, denture wearers are advised to clean their mouth and dentures regularly, to wear their dentures during day time only and should berecalled for examination of the oral cavity and their dentures.
Shear Behavior of Fibrous High Strength Concrete Deep Beams Under Uniformly Distributed Loading
Authors: Hanna Thamer
Published: August 2017

This paper investigates the effect of the steel fiber and type of web reinforcement of high strength concrete on cracking behavior and deformation characteristics of deep beams under uniformly distributed load. The complete load-deflection response and the modes of failure were investigated experimentally.

Eighteen beams of (600*300*100 mm) and nine cubes of (150*150*150 mm) in dimension were tested and compared with the same three series of different types of web reinforcement which contain different contents of fiber as additive, Results indicate that mid-span deflection decreases with increasing fiber content, while shear capacity increases, also test results indicate that type of web reinforcement produces no effect on formation of vertical cracks.

Published: August 2017

To evaluate the incidence of immunocompetence, including cell-mediated and antibody fitness, among survivors of the chemical bombardment of Halabja in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, forty exposed and forty unexposed subjects regarded as controls were studied to determine their immune system status 12 years after bombardment. Skin reactivity to tuberculin, D.T.P. vaccine, T.T toxoid and measles vaccine was negative in 62.5% of the exposed cases in compare to unexposed persons who showed no negative reactions 0%. The total leukocyte count was normal among 70% of exposed cases, whereas the total lymphocyte count was within   sub-normal ranges in 80% of exposed cases. All the subjects displaying negative skin reactions had sub- normal lymphocyte counts, which reflect impaired cell-mediated immunity. The immunoglobulin assay for   exposed cases revealed sub-normal values for IgG (12.5%) and IgA (52.5%), while the IgM level was above the normal range in 22.5% of cases when compared to that of controls that showed no abnormal values. This result revealed that there was a deficiency in antibody-mediated immunity. There were significant differences between the exposed and the control samples with respect to total leukocytes (p = 11× 10-5), neutrophil count (p = 0.88 × 10-3), lymphocyte count (p = 0.0), IgG (p = 0. 74 × 10-10) and IgA (p = 0. 1 × 10-10). The immunological reactions were more closely related to the effects of mustard gas, which appeared to be long lasting.

Data for the present investigation was collected on 41 native black does at the Bakrajou farm, college of

Agriculture, University of Sulaimania during March-August 2002.During the pre-weaning period, milk yield

was recorded once a week by suckling technique and hand milking. After weaning (90 days) does were hand

milked till they dry off.Total milk yield averaged 136.78 ± 7.70 kg, the maximum daily yield (1800 gm/d)

attained at 8th week of lactation. The correlation coefficients between total milk yield and monthly yield were

 

all positive and significant, the range being 0.32-0.98. Linear multiple regression equation using maximum R-

square improvement between total milk yield and monthly yield was calculated.

Authors: Aziz Kasim
Published: August 2017

Cashmere/down production of 118 Maraz goats (36 males and 82 females) aged one to five years

and older was investigated. Evaluation was based on the down percentage in undercoat. The overall

mean of live weight, fleece weight, down percentage, fiber diameter and fiber length were 26.8 kg, 699.7

g, 27.7 %, 22.5 μm and 57.7 mm, respectively.

Live weight, fleece weight and down percentage were significantly heavier in males than in

females. Age affects significantly all studied traits except the fiber length. The effect of interaction

between age and sex was significant on most of the studied traits. Correlations among traits were also

studied. Possibilities of increasing the cashmere production of Maraz goats in Iraqi-Kurdistan by genetic

improvement through selection and improved management are considered.
Improving the Production of Well Irrigated Cauliflower (Brassica OleraceaL. Var. Botrytis,Cv. Snowball Y. Imp) by Foliar Spraying of some Growth Regulators
Authors: Abdel Caser
Published: August 2017

Three different experiment were conducted on Snowball Y. IMP Cauliflower Cultivar. Seeds were sown in

seedbed to produce transplants. The obtained transplants were planted on furrows, and then they were sprayed

twice, 2 weeks after transplanting and 4 months latter with either gibberellic acid (GA3) at rates of 0.0, 20, 30 and

40mg.l-1, indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) at rates of 0.0, 20, 30 and 40mg.l-1, or naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) at rates of 0.0, 20, 30 and 40mg.l-1 to improve the production of snowball Y. IMP cauliflower cultivar which was irrigated

whenever 25% of soil water capacity is depleted to a soil depth of 30cm. The results revealed that snowball Y. IMP

cauliflower cultivar required supplementary irrigation of 327.6 mm, besides 254.3 mm rainfalls, during the entire

growing season. GA3 application substantially increased the yield of cauliflower particularly 40 mg.l-1 which gave  the highest yield (3.65 kg.m-2), as compared to check (2.44 kg.m-2). Regression analysis displayed that cauliflower yield responses to GA3 application could be estimated by the following positive linear equation (Yield kg.m-2 = 2.35836 + 0.0313786(GA3rate)). IBA application substantially increased the yield of cauliflower particularly 40 mg.l-1 which gave the highest yield (7.61 kg.m-2) as compared to untreated control (5.74 kg.m-2). Regression analysis displayed that cauliflower yield responses to IBA application could be estimated by the following cubic equation (Yield kg.m-2 

= 5.7375 + 0.599098(IBA rate) - 0.0436278(IBA rate)**2 + 0.0007442(IBA rate)**3). NAA application 

substantially increased the yield of cauliflower particularly 30 mg.l-1 which gave the highest yield (3.15 kg.m-2 ) as compared to check (1.4 kg.m-2). Regression analysis displayed that cabbage yield responses to NAA application could be estimated by the following positive linear equation (Yield kg.m-2 = 1.85084 + 0.0377673(NAA rate).
