Aktif Statik Germe ve Farklı Dinlenme Aralıklarının İzokinetik Bacak Kuvveti Üzerine Etkisi
Authors: Songur Adil , Çetin Ebru
Published: June 2018

Sporcularda aktif
statik germenin izokinetik bacak kuvveti üzerine akut etkisini ve bu etkinin
germe sonrası dinlenmeye bağlı olarak değişimini araştırmaktır. Gazi
Üniversitesi Spor Bilimleri Fakültesinden 19-23 yaş aralığında çeşitli
branşlarda (22-futbol, 19-voleybol, 16-basketbol ve 4- atletizm) 23 erkek ve 38
kadın sporcu gönüllü olarak çalışmaya dahil edildi. Sağ taraf hamstring,
kuadriseps ve dizin diğer kaslarına yönelik her biri altmış saniye süreli dört
ayrı aktif statik germe egzersizi belirlendi.. Katılımcılara bu egzersizleri
içeren dört farklı protokol [(a) ısınma, (b) ısınma + statik germe, (c) ısınma
+ statik germe + beş dakika dinlenme, (d) ısınma + statik germe + on beş dakika
dinlenme] uygulandı ve her protokolden sonra İsomed 2000 izokinetik cihazı
kullanılarak 60o/s
açısal hızda hamstring ve
kuadriseps izokinetik kuvveti ile hamstring/kuadriseps izokinetik kuvvet oranı
H/K (R) değerleri kaydedildi. Analizler sonucunda a-b ve b-d ölçümleri arasında
istatistiksel olarak anlamlı sonuçlar tespit edildi. Hem kadın hem erkek hem de
toplam (T) analizlerde; (a) ya nazaran (b) ölçüm değerleri anlamlı olarak düşük
(T; hamstring;a-b=+17.8 Nm, kuadriseps;a-b=+19.6 Nm) ve (b) ye nazaran (d)
ölçüm değerleri anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuştur (T; hamstring; b-d=-13.7 Nm,
kuadriseps; b-d=-14.3 Nm). Diğer ölçümler arasında ve kuvvet oranlarında (H/K)
anlamlı bir değişiklik bulunmadı (p<0,05). Bulgular ışığında akut statik
germenin kasın izokinetik kuvveti üzerinde negatif bir etki yarattığı, bu
nedenle müsabakalardan en az on beş dakika öncesinde statik germenin sonlandırılması
veya aktif statik germenin hemen sonrasında maksimum kontraksiyon gerektirecek
aktivitelerden uzak durulması önerilebilir. Öbür yandan farklı germe süreleri,
farklı kas grupları ve farklı açısal hızlarda yapılacak ileri çalışmaların
gerekliliği göz ardı edilmemelidir.

Tanzimat
döneminin ve Türk romantizminin öncü isimlerinden olan; edebi eserlerinden çok
edebiyat kuramına dönük olarak ortaya koyduğu eserleriyle bilinen ve bu nedenle
çağdaşları tarafından “üstad” kabul edilen Recaizade Mahmut Ekrem, 15 yaşında kaybettiği
oğlu Nijad Ekrem'i sıklıkla şiirlerine ve mensur şiirlerine konu edinmiştir. Bu
eserlerde Nijad, okurun karşısına olağanüstü bir figür olarak çıkar: Bir
filozof gibi derin düşüncelere yönelir; en ince zevkleri bulunan sanatçılarla
hemen hemen aynı estetik duyarlılığı taşır; milli ve dini hassasiyetleri son
derece gelişmiştir; olgun insanlara yakışır şekilde saygı ve nezaket sahibidir
vs. İşte bu çalışmada, söz konusu özellikler ekseninde, Nijad'ın olağanüstü bir
figür olarak tipleştirilmesinin üzerinde durulacak ve daha çok eser-merkezli
bir okuma perspektifinden hareketle Ekrem'in Tefekkür ve Nijad Ekrem
adlı eserlerinde beliren tipolojik yönelim üzerine bir yorumsamaya
gidilecektir.

La teca (Tectona grandis) es una especie originaria de Indochina que fue introducida a Ecuador en 1950, donde actualmente tiene alta demanda en el sector maderero. Existen escasos estudios locales que abordan temas de genética de poblaciones y mejoramiento en especies forestales de importancia económica en el país, lo cual es fundamental para conocer la diversidad y las relaciones entre poblaciones y fuentes de semilla, así como para identificar ejemplares que resistan condiciones adversas, ya que son los más aptos para utilizarse en la obtención de individuos con mayor productividad y rendimiento mediante herramientas biotecnológicas. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo analizar la diversidad y las relaciones genéticas de diez poblaciones de teca (seis de Ecuador, tres de Costa Rica y una de Honduras) con marcadores RAPD. El análisis de datos indicó la formación de dos grupos poblacionales, uno incluyó a las de Ecuador y el otro se conformó con las de Costa Rica y Honduras. Las poblaciones ecuatorianas, probablemente, provienen de Pichilingue (INIAP) o Granada, que a su vez son los más antiguas y con mayor diversidad genética en el país. Las introducciones posteriores de la especie, procedentes de Centroamérica, no resultaron emparentadas con las previamente establecidas.

Authors: Andrizal - , Chadry Rivanol , Suryani Ade Irma
Published: June 2018

Engine scanner unit is a tool used by mechanical power to know the condition of car engine combustion at the time of tune up process done. The level of elements and compounds that dominant in determining categories of combustion of gasoline fuel car engines through the levels of elements and compounds contained in exhaust emissions are Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Oxygen (O2). Complete combustion category produces maximum power, fuel efficiency and emission levels according to the threshold. This occurs when there is a balance of the amount of fuel, airflow and ignition in the engine combustion chamber. Elements and compounds contained in car exhaust emissions can be detected with sensors that are sensitive to elemental levels and these compounds are HC, CO, CO2, and O2 sensors. This study aims to display the data pattern category of combustion engine through exhaust emissions based on multi sensor detection processed with signal processing system in the form of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) process. Furthermore, data pattern is performed in accordance with the category of combustion engine detected. The system is designed with embedded system using Field Programable Gate Array (FPGA) myRIO and LabVIEW programming. The results in the test displays the data pattern and the comparison test of the reference data pattern with the data pattern of the detection result. The comparison test result of data pattern similar to 87% complete engine combustion category and similar to incomplete combustion category 90%.

Authors: Roslan Saida Nafisah , A Hamid Isredza Rahmi , Shamala Palaniappan
Published: June 2018

Generally, the existing store management system does not provide any access control mechanism in order to manage resources. All levels of user have the same right to access the store and borrow the equipment. Therefore, the E-Store management system using Bell-LaPadula access control model was proposed. The prototyping methodology was used to develop the system because methodology model is quickly constructed to test or illustrate design features and ideas, in order to gather user feedback. Moreover, the system is built using hypertext processor (PHP) language. The E-Store system has three types of users, which are known as top management of Welding Department, lecturers and students. The userâ€™s access control is divided by high-level privilege to lower-level privilege. Therefore, each user will have different login interface according to their role and access right to the system. Through the system, high-level user manages in and out equipment flow, manages authorization, view history log in activity and verify complaint report. Lower-level user can view list of equipment, report complaint and damage equipment and borrow equipment. The E-Store management system is expected to manage the store effectively and reduced redundancy issues of equipment requested. The user access right has been assigned based on their access level.

Recently, there has been a remarkable growth in number of hacking as well. Once the computer is online, anyone can have access to the network. Therefore, we proposed a secure social network site called SocialBook where users can post status, photos and connect with friends. This system is developed using PHP programming language and Iterative and Incremental Development methodology.  The purpose of developing this system is to solve unsecured login accounts and lack of user authentication problem. This system applies the secret question procedure when the user wants to change their account password. Moreover, SocialBook use idle session timeout mechanism for additional security. When the user is idle for ten minutes, they will be logged out automatically. So, the user will be less worry about their account from being hacked and the identity impersonation by unauthorized user.

Published: June 2018

In this Digital world storage area capacity required for an Enterprise is quite huge, and processing that Big Data is one of the major challenging areas in todayâ€™s information technology. As the heterogeneous data from the various sources grow rapidly, there should be some proficient way for data storage for each enterprise. Most of the Enterprises have a tendency to migrate their data in to servers with high processing capability to handle variety and voluminous data. Major problem that arises in such big data servers of an Enterprise is the process involved in segregating data according to their types. In this research, an efficient methodology is proposed which handles the segregation of data inside a server with multi valued distribution-based clustering. These clustering-based solutions provide an efficient visualization of varying data in the server and also a separate visualization of employee data too. The paper discusses about the simulation of the clustering technique with respect to an Enterprise data and visualization of file storage structure and categorization of data, also it gives a picture of performance of the Big data server.Â
BlogNewsRank: Finding and Ranking Frequent News Topics Using Social Media Factors
Authors: H Harshitha , Rafi Mohammed
Published: June 2018

In early days, mass media sources such as news media used to inform us about daily events. Now a days, social media services such as Twitter huge amount of user-generated data, which has a great potential to contain informative news-related content. For these resources to be useful, we have to find a way to filter noise and capture the content that, based on its similarity to the news media, is considered valuable. Even after noise is removed, information overload may still exist in the remaining data. Hence it is convenient to prioritize it for consumption. To achieve prioritization, information must be ranked in order of estimated importance considering mainly three factors. First, the temporal prevalence of a particular topic in the news media is a factor of importance, and can be considered the media focus (MF) of a topic. Second, the temporal prevalence of the topic in social media indicates its user attention (UA). Last, the interaction between the social media users who mention this topic indicates the strength of the community discussing it, and can be regarded as the user interaction (UI) toward the topic. We propose an unsupervised frameworkâ€”BlogNewsRankâ€”which identiï¬es news topics prevalent in both social media and the news media, and then ranks them by relevance(frequency) using their degrees of MF, UA, and UI.

The Development of Civil Society in Post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan
An Analysis of the National and International Context
Authors: Pierobon Chiara
Published: June 2018

In the past two decades, scholars from a variety of disciplines have argued that post – communist civil society is weak and structurally deficient and is characterised by low levels of social trust, voluntary organisational membership, and public participation. This article intends to challenge this academic consensus by providing an in-depth analysis of civil society development in Kyrgyzstan, a country, whose non-profit sector has been described as the most vibrant and plentiful of the Central Asian region. To this scope, the article analyses the ways and extent to which the national and international environments have influenced the development trajectory of Kyrgyz civil society. Special emphasis is placed on the specific forms and manifestations of civic engagement characterising the non-profit sector of the selected country and on the strategies it has implemented to overcome its weaknesses and vulnerabilities. The paper sheds new light on factors and features that have contributed to the strengths of Kyrgyz civil society and which can be used to increase our understanding of civil society developments in other transition countries.
A New Interpretation of the Edicts of Aśoka from Kandahar
Authors: Maniscalco Francesco
Published: June 2018

From Alexandria of Arachosia, present-day Kandahar, we have two edicts in Greek, issued by the sovereign Maurya Aśoka (c. 270-230 BC). Arachosia, the ancient Eastern satrapy of the Achaemenid Empire – corresponding to present-day southeastern Afghanistan – had long seen the meeting of the Iranian world to the west and the Indian world to the east. As from the end of the fourth century BC, after the conquest by Alexander the Great and the occupation of the eastern dominions of the Empire by Seleucus Nicator, it was to see a conspicuous Greek presence, strikingly attested by the epigraphs of Aśoka. The first edict – discovered in 1957 – is in two languages, Greek and Aramaic, while the second – discovered in 1963 – is in Greek alone. On the basis of texts from the court of Maurya of Pāṭaliputra, both of them constitute summaries of and propaganda for the conversion and moral principles inspiring Aśoka, subsequent to his bloody conquest of Kaliṅga. Our aim here is to take stock of certain issues, proposing a new completion for the opening lacuna in the Greek section of the bilingual epigraph, and casting doubt anew on the originality of the Greek texts, considering the attribution of the region to Indian, rather than Seleucid rule after the pact between Seleucus Nicator and Candragupta Maurya, Aśoka’s grandfather (c. 305 BC).

The Influence of Tanizaki’s Early Works on Edogawa Ranpo’s Novels
A Comparison between Konjiki no shi and Panoramatō kidan
Authors: Bienati Luisa
Published: June 2018

From his debut in 1923, Edogawa Ranpo (1894-1965) acknowledged the influence of Tanizaki Jun’ichirō and often referred to his works. Tanizaki had published several short stories characterised by tantei shumi between 1911 and 1927, yet the link between the two authors lies not only in their choice of the narrative genre. Tanizaki was a great admirer of Edgar Allan Poe and translated many of his stories including “The Domain of Arnheim”. Ranpo, too, was overtly inspired by Poe’s stories “The Domain of Arnheim” and “Landor’s Cottage”, which can be seen in the plot and descriptions of Panoramatō kidan. The aim of my investigation is therefore to examine the path that leads us from Poe’s “The Domain of Arnheim”, to Tanizaki’s Konjiki no shi, and from Poe and Tanizaki to Ranpo’s Panoramatō kidan.
Help the Poor, Help Ourselves
Merging Individual and Collective Interests in the Official Discourse on Japanese ODA since 2000
Authors: Zappa Marco
Published: June 2018

Japanese ODA has attracted much attention in the last three decades. This paper aims to shed light on the intellectual evolution of the official discourse on Japanese ODA based on the analysis of two main ‘modes of thought’ at the foundation of it, namely national interest and international affiliation. Based on a detailed content analysis of official documents and public debates, the paper will take the role of institutional actors – Japanese political leaders, foreign ministers and intellectuals – into consideration. The role of such “entrepreneurs” has been crucial for shaping the current official discourse on Japanese foreign aid. The paper will argue, in fact, that the official discourse is a juxtaposition of two clashing ideas carefully shaped to enlarge the consensus (both domestic and external) toward the Japanese government’s policies.
Minorías prósperas en la economía corsaria literaria
Authors: Gordon Michael
Published: June 2018

Spanish literature written by captives or about captivity in North Africa distinguished itself from the majority of Spanish Golden Age works because of its positive portrayal of Jews. Not only were these literary representations benevolent, but they were also quite realistic. Like many of their historical counterparts, the literary Jews Brahín (Los cautivos de Argel) and David (Guzmán el Bravo) practiced their religion clandestinely in Spain before moving to the Maghreb, where they enjoyed greater freedoms and privileges, including the ability to legally own Christian slaves. Multiple 17th-century autobiographical accounts from Spanish captives in Algiers and Tunis can serve as historical templates to corroborate the precarious, yet simultaneously prosperous, situation of those two literary Jews. Finally, the similarities found in historical sources and these two North African works challenges the notion of Lope de Vega being unequivocally anti-Jewish.
Prime traduzioni di Borges in Italia: 1927-1937
Authors: Gavagnin Gabriella
Published: June 2018

The article identifies the first stages of Borges reception in Italy on the basis of some translations and scattered critical interventions that have been neglected by previous criticism. Attention is devoted to the years between 1927 and 1937, a period when three different translators published Italian versions of four Borges’s poems. These one attest the Italian focus on Borges’ avant-garde poetry as an important representative of innovation in Argentine literature. They are at the same time the oldest translations of Borges’ texts in Europe, all prior to the French translation made by Néstor Ibarra in 1939. The analysis of this material reveals some aspects that allow us to connect these texts to the same cultural context, in which are particularly important (personal and cultural) relationships within the Italian-Argentine community.
Golosina canibal 2.0
Authors: Néspolo Jimena
Published: June 2018

This article offers a reading of the novel El Entenado (1982) by Juan José Saer, analysing the way in which it is inserted within the author’s system and within the Argentinean literary canon. The Saerian heritage is resignified by cannibalism and its presence in cultural studies. ‘Cannibalism’ stresses a relativised opposition between interior and exterior by founding an exuberant de-colonial polysemy that challenges the stigma of savagery and barbarism with which classical historiography has characterised the New World. The cannibal cleavage of texts published after the year 2000 – texts singularly crossed by the migration experience – plays with a culture of knowledge and flavour, eating and being-eaten.
Una aproximació a la memorialística femenina catalana
Authors: Güell Mia
Published: June 2018

Autobiographical literature in recent years has attracted increasing interest, thanks to the symbiosis between literature and reality that gives shape to it. The aim of this article is to approach new developments in Catalan women autobiographical literature, covering from the first instances, the epistles by Estefania de Requesens, from the sixteenth century, until Maria-Mercè Marçal’s posthumous diary, of 2014. Disease and proximity of death are devices used by writers to start autobiographical projects. Childhood, old age or memory recovery are other reasons why female authors venture in a previously patriarchal domain.

Partnership with Civil Society and the Legitimacy of EU Policymaking: Exploring Actors’ Normative Arguments in Four Member States
Authors: Demidov Andrey
Published: June 2018

Existing research on how the involvement of civil society actors improves EU democratic legitimacy produces controversial results. This is the outcome of a top-down analytical strategy. Scholars regularly gauge partnership practices against different concepts of legitimacy, but rarely ask how actors themselves perceive and construct partnership, let alone how these understandings relate to existing concepts of legitimacy. Utilising a bottom-up sociological perspective, this article examines how actors in four central and eastern EU member states understand the partnership principle for European Structural and Investment Funds and how these understandings relate to different conceptualisations of legitimacy. A reconstruction of actors’ normative arguments shows that representatives of three groups (state officials, civil society organisations and social partners) prioritise different legitimacy effects which trigger contestation about the proper formats of partnership. While state officials focus on input legitimacy, civil society organisations insist on throughput and social partners emphasise output legitimacy. Variation across countries and within groups of actors further complicates this picture. This has implications for our understanding of Europeanization and the role of European civil society.

A 10 ovejas Santa Inês y 10 controles de raza Ideal se les tomaron muestras de sangre cada 10 días durante el otoño, invierno y primavera para determinar niveles séricos de progesterona y así clasificarlas en ovejas cíclicas o en anestro. Durante los primeros 20 días de ensayo recibieron suplementación alimentaria. El peso vivo (PV) se registró 2 veces en cada estación. Los datos se analizaron mediante tablas de frecuencia y prueba de chi cuadrado con grado de significancia de 0,5. El 70% de las hembras Santa Inês presentó ciclicidad en otoño e invierno. En primavera este porcentaje descendió a 60%. Las ovejas Ideal tuvieron un porcentaje de ciclicidad de 80, 10 y 20% en otoño, invierno y primavera respectivamente. Se relacionó ausencia de ciclicidad con PV. Durante el período de suplementación alimentaria todas las hembras Santa Inês ganaron peso. Todas las ovejas que ciclaron en las tres estaciones estudiadas no tuvieron grandes variaciones de PV. Si bien hubo descenso, éste no fue suficiente para modificar la condición corporal. Entre las hembras que presentaron algún periodo de anestro se registraron descensos de peso mayores. Si bien la pérdida de peso pudo determinar el anestro, el tiempo de la señalización para el reinicio de la actividad estral podría ser variable. El análisis estadístico no arrojó diferencias significativas en ovejas Santa Inês pero sí lo hizo en ovejas Ideal. Se concluye que las ovejas tropicales, en ambientes subtropicales mantienen la ciclicidad anual y que la época del año no influye sobre la presentación de ciclos estrales en la raza Santa Inês
Presencia de indicadores microbiológicos en agua para consumo humano en San Cosme (Corrientes, Argentina)

El agua destinada al consumo humano no debe contener ningún agente patógeno, siendo necesario realizar análisis para determinar microorganismos indicadores de contaminación. Así, bacterias coliformes fecales informan contaminación fecal y Pseudomonas aeruginosa señala deterioro o recontaminación del agua. Con el objeto de establecer la presencia de tales indicadores en una zona rural y evaluar la calidad microbiológica del agua para consumo humano, se investigaron dos tipos diferentes de fuentes de agua, una subterránea (pozo y perforación) y otra superficial (laguna). Las muestras colectadas en frascos estériles se mantuvieron refrigeradas a 4-6°C, determinándose la cantidad presuntiva de coliformes totales en series de cinco tubos de caldo MacConkey y confirmación de positivos con caldo brila a 37°C. La confirmación de la presencia de coliformes fecales y P. aeruginosa se efectuó usando el medio selectivo que contiene cristal violeta a 37°C, repicando en agar cetrimide a 37°C. En los pozos se registraron los valores más altos de contaminación por coliformes fecales, siendo la perforación la fuente de agua de menor riesgo de polución. En cuanto a P. aeruginosa, su presencia se constató en las tres fuentes de agua, en distintos períodos de tiempo, siendo el agua de laguna la que presentó mayor contaminación. De acuerdo al Código Alimentario Argentino, estos resultados muestran la ineptitud para el consumo de las aguas analizadas
Eficacia reducida de derquantel y abamectina en ovinos y caprinos con Haemonchus sp resistentes a lactonas macrocíclicas

Published: June 2018

Se presentan las observaciones efectuadas sobre la actividad de una combinación antihelmíntica conteniendo un nueva droga, el derquantel (spiroindoles) adicionada con abamectina (lactonas macrocíclicas) en ovinos y caprinos naturalmente parasitados por Haemonchus sp. En el conteo de huevos, la eficacia de la combinación mostró porcentajes de reducción variables y dependientes de los estadios parasitarios intervinientes al momento del tratamiento y al status previo de resistencia a las lactonas macrocíclicas. Se observó una eficacia alta (mayor al 99%) frente a la oviposición de estadios maduros de Haemonchus sp o cuando los antecedentes de las poblaciones parasitarias indicaban resistencia no marcada a las lactonas macrocíclicas. Por el contrario, eficacias inferiores (76 al 83%) se observaron cuando las poblaciones de este parásito mostraban resistencia severa a las lactonas macrocíclicas y los estadios inmaduros constituían la mayor parte de la población parasitaria al momento del tratamiento. Las combinaciones antihelmínticas tienen un interesante potencial de uso frente a poblaciones parasitarias de Haemonchus sp resistentes a los antihelmínticos, pero las presentes observaciones enfatizan la necesidad de evaluar a nivel de cada establecimiento la actividad de todos los antiparasitarios, sean estos formulados con viejas o nuevas drogas, si se pretende instaurar programas racionales para el control de estos nematodes

Published: June 2018

La reproducción de animales de mayor valor genético ha llevado a desarrollar distintas biotecnologías, como la transferencia de embriones. Los tratamientos de superovulación producen respuestas muy variables sobre todo en las razas sintéticas. El objetivo fue evaluar la respuesta superovulatoria, en vacas donantes Braford del nordeste argentino, mediante el seguimiento ecográfico de los ovarios. Se trabajó con 60 donantes, asignadas aleatoriamente a dos tratamientos o protocolos (T1: n=30 y T2: n=30); examinándose ecográficamente 6 por tratamiento, el día 0 para determinar ciclicidad, al comienzo de las aplicaciones de FSH (T1=día 3 y T2=día 4), en el control de celos (T1=día 7 y T2=día 8) para determinar respuesta superovulatoria y en la colecta (T1=día 14 y T2=día 15). Las variables cualitativas, de distribución binomial, se analizaron mediante tablas de contingencia para el cálculo de frecuencias absolutas y relativas y prueba de chi2 (p<0,05). El número de embriones transferibles logrado fue de 6,85±0,77; embriones degenerados de 1±0,12 y ovocitos sin fertilizar de 5,32±1,01. La ultrasonografía en la colecta no mostró diferencias en los cuerpos lúteos totales (12,6 vs 12,06), sin embargo fueron superiores en el ovario derecho (7 y 6,66) respecto al izquierdo (5,6 y 5,4) en T1 y T2, respectivamente. La prueba de independencia no estableció evidencia estadísticamente significativa. Concluimos que el adelanto en la superestimulación no genera mejoras en la respuesta, pudiendo utilizarse como una alternativa en la producción de embriones, sin afectar la cantidad y calidad de estructuras ováricas a la ultrasonografía, acortando los tratamientos tradicionales.

Published: June 2018

Se describe un brote de pediculosis por Haematopinus quadripertusus, Anoplura: Haematopinidae (piojo de la cola del bovino), en un establecimiento ganadero dedicado a la cría bovina situado en la región chaqueña de la Provincia de Salta, Argentina. El cuadro clínico ocurrió en solo uno de los cuatro rodeos de hembras y también en la tropa de toros, con severa infestación de la punta de la cola y la región perineal, principalmente alrededor de la vulva y el ano, al igual que en los bordes palpebrales superior e inferior. La región de la base de la cola y la zona perineal de los vacunos afectados mostraron dermatitis pruriginosa severa a moderada, con alopecia leve. La prevalencia de la pediculosis se estimó en 70% para las hembras y 35% para los toros. El rodeo infestado por H. quadripertusus presentó una tasa de preñez más baja que los rodeos restantes. Esta publicación constituye el primer informe de H. quadripertusus en nuestro país, completando la lista de haematopínidos con potencial parasitario para los bovinos de Argentina

Published: June 2018

El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar el pH de la carne de cobayos faenados en los andes centrales del Perú. Se determinó el pH de 60 canales al terminar el proceso de sacrificio y a la 1, 6, 12, y 24 h posteriores. Los pH fueron de 6,79 ± 0,3, 6,74 ± 0,34, 6,59 ± 0,28, 6,45 ± 0,35 y 5,96 ± 0,11, a las horas 0, 1, 6, 12 y 24 post sacrificio respectivamente. La ecuación que explica el comportamiento del pH fue Y=6.7765-0.0231X-0.0005X2 (R2 =0.996). La ausencia de un adecuado descenso del pH muscular incide negativamente en la calidad de la carne debido a la proliferación de microrganismos perjudiciales. Para mejorar la calidad y prolongar la vida útil de la carne de cobayo se requieren estudios que evalúen las repercusiones de las deficiencias constatadas durante el sacrificio, dado que no se observó descanso, ducha ante mortem ni aturdimiento

Published: June 2018

El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo identificar y describir los nodulos linfaticos de los caprinos, para establecer criterios sanitarios en el control de carne destinada al consumo. Se abordó la situación, forma y tamaño de los nódulos linfáticos (NL). Se utilizaron seis ejemplares adultos. Previa anestesia general, se realizó la eutanasia e inyección de tinta china a fin de que el drenaje linfá- tico fuera visible en la disección. Se observó que el NL cervical superficial o pre escapular, de forma elíptica, se situó en el borde craneal de la escápula. Los NL sub-ilíacos o pre-femorales, alargados, se situaron en craneal del músculo tensor de la fascia lata, equidistantes de la patela y el tubérculo coxal. El NL retro mamario, ovalado, se localizó en la región inguinal, rodeado de abundante cantidad de grasa. El NL poplíteo, de forma ovoide, se ubicó entre los músculos bíceps femoral y el contorno craneal del músculo semitendinoso. El NL prepectoral, costo cervical o falso ganglio del inspector, de forma alargada, se halló a lo largo de la superficie ventral de la tráquea. El NL ilíaco medio, con forma de coma, se ubicó cerca de la bifurcación de la aorta abdominal. El NL ilíaco lateral, redondeado, se situó en lateral del origen de los vasos ilíacos externos. A los NL isquiáticos, de forma ovoide, se los localizó en la incisura isquiática mayor, en craneal de la cresta isquiática. Los resultados difieren de los descriptos en esta especie por otros autores, en cuanto al número y tamaño de determinados linfocentros. El hallazgo permitirá adecuar los sistemas de vigilancia durante la inspección de rutina en la playa de faena y mejorar la calidad de los alimentos que llegan al consumidor

A procedure is developed and the initial and boundary conditions of surface temperature computer simulation at combined and common plane grinding are defined. Dependences connecting the temperature of a surface worked with the value of allowance cut off, a line feed and a cross-feed of a blank are defined on the basis of which a mode of combined flat peripheral grinding ensuring the elimination of thermal damages of a surface layer worked is set.
Teacher Effects on Chilean Children’s Achievement Growth: A Cross-Classified Multiple Membership Accelerated Growth Curve Model
Authors: Ortega Lorena , Malmberg Lars-Erik , Sammons Pam
Published: June 2018

We investigated teacher effects (magnitude, predictors, and cumulativeness) on primary students’ achievement trajectories in Chile, using multilevel cross-classified (accelerated) growth models (four overlapping cohorts, spanning Grades 3 to 8; n = 19,704 students, and 851 language and 812 mathematics teachers, in 156 schools). It was found that teacher effects on achievement growth are large, exceeding school effects. Also, the contribution of teachers to student achievement growth was found to accumulate over time. The study advances the field by exploring teacher effects in the context of an emerging economy, contributing further evidence on the properties of teacher effects on student achievement growth and demonstrating the combined use of accelerated longitudinal designs, growth curve approaches, and cross-classified and multiple membership models.
