"You can't sell a marae": campus innovation at Massey University
Authors: Whiting Gary , Whiting Tyson
Published: August 2022

Te Kupenga o te Mātauranga marae is located on the former Massey University Hokowhitu Campus in Palmerston North and has the distinction of being the first marae built on Crown land. A national hui on Māori Education was held at the Hokowhitu Campus (then Teachers College, not yet Massey University) in 1974 and it was here that Charlie Maitai challenged the then principal Pat Whitwell to build a wharenui on the new campus. That challenge was complete by the end of the 1970s. In 2015 the marae was sold by Massey University to a local developer as part of a wider real estate site package.
I Claudius: A nostalgically-charged evaluation of Claude Megson's heyday in the 1970s
Authors: Wood Peter
Published: August 2022

Along with Ian Athfield and Roger Walker, Claude Megson emerged in the early 1970s as an idiosyncratic architectural iconoclast utterly committed to the New Zealand house. However, Megson's legacy has taken a different course to his compatriots. Unlike Athfield and Walker, Megson had no literary champion to promote his significance (it might be said he had his own voice for that). Moreover, his relatively early death in 1994 curtailed his architectural activity but there was little indication in his work by then that he would either continue to reinvent his approach to housing in the manner of Walker, or grow his scope and scale of his work like Athfield. By the mid 1970s Megson had formed a rigid approach to domestic work that underpinned – and probably limited – his activities as an architect and architectural educator. His certainty on this matter also polarised opinion on his personality. You were obliged to be either with or against Claude, and this dialectical distinction has not endeared him to researchers. In this paper I wish then to evaluate the historical significance of Megson in three interlocking parts. The first concerns his personal mythology as an architect hero in the manner of Frank Lloyd Wright (a narrative that real estate agents are quick to promote his work). The second part is found in an analysis of his actual houses from this period with particular attention given to his masters' dissertation. The final aspect I wish to weave through is his presence as a dominant personality, but a rather marginal teacher, at the Auckland School of Architecture into the 1980s. This will not be a particularly scholarly or academic appraisal. In keeping with the complexities and paradoxes that underpinned Megson's character, what I hope to do here is to provide a sketch for further scholarship on one of New Zealand's most intriguing architects.
Alex Wiseman: reluctant architect?
Authors: Addison Paul
Published: August 2022

The Auckland Ferry Building, completed in 1912, is still a significant landmark in downtown Auckland today. However, its architect, Alex Wiseman, remains less well-known and more enigmatic. Born in Auckland in 1865 into a prominent Methodist family, Wiseman was apprenticed at 16 years of age to noted architect Edward Bartley for a term of four years. Wiseman then practised as a draughtsman for a period, before moving to Victoria, Australia, to follow his first love, music, making his living as a music teacher and organist. After marrying and starting a family, the lot of an impecunious musician may have held less appeal, and in 1903 Wiseman returned to Auckland. He established his own architectural practice and, over the next 12 years until his death at the age of just 50, he received, often with the aid of familial and church connections, several high-profile commissions, including the ferry building, the YMCA building and Auckland Training College (both in Wellesley Street), and "Greenacres," the home of James Gunson, later mayor of Auckland.
What lies Beneath? Dunedin's Public Conveniences and their Subterranean Origins
Authors: Breese Alison
Published: August 2022

Turn-of-the-century public conveniences in New Zealand are becoming a rare and endangered part of our wider cultural and built heritage. These often overlooked structures are more than just reminders of a common public service, but provide direct evidence for changing social attitudes to the provision of public conveniences and evidence for changing architectural and aesthetic approaches to their design, construction and visibility. This paper provides examples taken from Dunedin's rich history and heritage of public conveniences to examine these social changes.
The Impact of Work-life Balance on Millennial’s Performance Mediated by Job Satisfaction. (c2022)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Nasser Sandra
Published: August 2022

The primary aim of this research is to study the impact of work-life balance on millennial employees’ performance with the mediating role of job satisfaction. Millennials are individuals born between 1980 and 2000. These individuals are dominating the workplace which necessitates the importance of studying their work-life balance levels and how it can affect their satisfaction and performance to enhance the human and organizational outcomes. This study will give a clear review of the work-life balance constructs which include work personal life interference (WPLI), personal life interference with work (PLIW), and work personal life enrichment (WPLE) and how they affect millennial’s satisfaction and performance. For data collection purposes, an online questionnaire was sent to respondents working in private Lebanese corporations and 196 usable responses were gathered. In this study, SPSS statistical software was used for data analysis purposes and Hayes’s PROCESS was used to test the mediation effect. The research results confirmed that there is a negative relationship between WIPL and employee performance, a negative relationship between PLIW and employee performance, and a positive relationship between WPLE and employee performance and that job satisfaction fully mediates the relationship between each of the constructs and employee performance. Furthermore, this study will provide recommendations and implications that will aid organizations in retaining their talent through implementing successful work-life balance.
Barriers to the Implementation of a Unique Identifier and a Track and Trace System in the Lebanese Pharmaceutical Sector. (c2022)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Rached Stephanie
Published: August 2022

Globalization of the pharmaceutical supply chain introduced many new challenges requiring innovative technologies to ensure patients’ access to safe and effective medicine. Adding a unique identifier and implementing a track and trace system on pharmaceuticals allow the traceability of products across the supply chain, ensuring quality by reducing counterfeit products, facilitating the recall process, increasing transparency and on the long run speeding up the reimbursement process by third party payers. There are several barriers preventing the implementation of the track and trace system in Lebanon. The aim of this operational research is to identify these barriers in local pharmaceutical institutions mainly local manufacturers and pharmacies; and providing recommendations to policymakers. Through a three-steps operational research, data was collected from local manufacturers through structured or semi-structured interviews, data was also collected form a purposive sample of pharmacies through focus groups and interviews, and finally key informants and policy makers were interviewed for a presentation of results and providing recommendations. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative results, while thematic analysis was used for qualitative data followed by exploratory data analysis. Different themes were identified for the barriers to implementation: financial, logistic, regulatory, internal planning/human resources and infrastructure issues/context specific.

Published: August 2022

A disposição incorreta de lixos e resíduos diversos pode causar danos ambientais significativos, onde se incluía contaminação dos solos e dos recursos hídricos. Esses materiais podem conter substâncias químicas com características tóxicas, tais como os metais tóxicos que, através do chorume gerado atingem o solo e os corpos hídricos superficiais e subterrâneos. A importância de estudar esses recursos hídricos justifica-se pela necessidade de se conhecerem esses potenciais contaminantes, bem como, a sua evolução na área afetada. Neste contexto, o presente estudo foi realizado na área do aterro sanitário de Itabira/MG e avaliou os resultados dos monitoramentos da água subterrânea local, realizados em laboratórios no período de 2010 a 2019, quanto à presença dos elementos contaminantes cádmio, chumbo, cobre, cromo e zinco. Por meio dos resultados das análises comprovou-se que em todos os pontos estudados as concentrações desses metais ultrapassaram os limites legais estabelecidos. Foi produzido o mapa do NA da área, onde evidenciou-se que as maiores concentrações dos elementos contaminantes pesquisados foram identificadas nos pontos localizados à jusante da área de disposição final de lixos e, principalmente, onde o nível freático da água está mais alto.Palavras-chave: Aquíferos; Monitoramento de Contaminantes; Chorume; Valores Orientadores. The contamination of landfile groundwater sanitary of Itabira (MG). A B S T R A C TIncorrect disposal of waste and miscellaneous waste can cause significant environmental damage, including the contamination of soils and water resources. These materials may contain chemical substances with toxic characteristics, such as toxic metals that, through the generated leachate, reach the soil and superficial and underground water bodies. The importance of studying those water resources is justified by the need to know these potential contaminants, as well as their evolution in the affected area. In this context, the present study was carried out in the Itabira/MG landfill area, and evaluated the results of the monitoring of local groundwater, carried out in laboratories from 2010 to 2019, regarding the presence of inorganic elements cadmium, lead, copper, chrome and zinc. Through the results of the analysis, it was evidenced that in all the studied points the concentrations of these metals exceeded the established legal limits. The NA map of the area was produced, showing that the highest concentrations of the inorganic elements surveyed were identified at points located downstream of the final waste disposal area and, especially, where the underground water level is highest.Keywords: Aquifers; Contaminant Monitoring; Effluents; Guiding Values.

This article considers the main leisure activities of Magnitogorsk residents in the early 1950s based on their personal memories, local materials of the clerical sources, and periodicals. The analysis shows how the residents spent their free time and what emotions they had. On the one hand, the leisure options of that time (for example, going to cinemas, theaters, parks, circuses, libraries, concerts, sports sections, hobby clubs, public lectures, public readings of books, educational meetings arranged by the party, as well as organizing holidays and public events, amateur art shows, mass leisure out of town, resort holidays, etc.) were largely defined by the political regime and ideology. On the other hand, the urban community either tacitly rejected or changed those activities that turned out to be unpopular or boring. At the same time, one of the main trends supported by the Magnitogorsk residents was collectivism and publicity while engaging in a leisure activity. The latter two formed an integral part of the Soviet consciousness. Particular attention is paid to the problems faced by the city in the organization of leisure and recreational activities: the construction of cultural and entertainment venues failed to keep up with the growth of the city population; some residents were not properly educated about the value and importance of certain leisure types. The workers were tired because of their hard working shifts at the metallurgical plant and everyday life, thus many of them showed no interest in outdoor activities. It is concluded that the organization of leisure time in Magnitogorsk, which was a role model for the entire Soviet society, was essential in upholding the morale of its residents.
The Chronology of the Neolithic in Northwest Africa
Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Kazan, 420008 Russia, Si-Ammour S.
Published: August 2022

This article considers the chrono-cultural evolution in the Northwest Africa territories during the Neolithic period. A systematic chronology based on specialized literature on the chrono-cultural features of this period in the Sahara and the Maghreb was inferred. It covers the following three major Neolithic currents characteristic of the Neolithic period in Northwest Africa: the Saharan Sudanese Neolithic, the Neolithic of Capsian Tradition, and the Mediterranean Neolithic. These currents were studied using the data on cultural behaviors with some radiocarbon dates. The results obtained revealed the features of the evolution from the Neolithization process to the full establishment of the Neolithic economy of production, as well as, a possible continuity to a Final Neolithic phase that lasted longer in some regions despite other regions that transitioned to the Eneolithic and the Iron Age. It was concluded that the evolution path that determined the characteristics of the Early, Middle, Late, and Final Neolithic phases was almost the same in different territories of the northwestern part of the African continent.

Published: August 2022

This article considers the development of Spanish historical thought between the mid-19th and the early 20th centuries. The main stages in the development of the Spanish historical tradition are singled out. The features and driving forces of each stage are analyzed. The representatives of the traditions under study are given in chronological order. Their contributions to Spanish historical thought are specified. The brightest ideas of the most prominent scholars that reveal the unique nature of Spanish historical thought are discussed. Moreover, it was these ideas that provoked the dramatic changes in the Spanish interpretation of history in general, as well as in the approaches and methods of its study. The gradual movement of Spanish historiography to its current state is presented through a variety of views from the works of Spanish historians. The common interpretations of every phenomenon or trend are supplemented with alternative theories and concepts. The progress of Spanish historical thought is traced up to the early 20th century. The first step is marked by the adaptation of the ideas of Krausism, which largely affected the subsequent evolution of Spanish historical thought. The period that followed is associated with positivist ideas; its characteristics and various interpretations by Spanish scholars are summarized. The results obtained make it possible to conclude about the basic features typical of the development of Spanish historical thought in the late 19th–early 20th centuries.
On S.F. Platonov’s Review of V.G. Druzhinin’s Book
Authors:   University under the Interparliamentary Assembly of EurAsEC, St. Petersburg, 194044 Russia, Mitrofanov V.V.
Published: August 2022

This article considers, with the involvement of archival materials introduced into scientific use for the first time, an unknown fact with S.F. Platonov’s unfinished review of the book by V.G. Druzhinin, which originated from his master’s thesis. S.F. Platonov, a friend of V.G. Druzhinin, promised Academician L.N. Maykov to write a review of this study. S.F. Platonov and V.G. Druzhinin became acquainted during their university days, and it grew into a strong friendship, both personal and between their families. This bond lasted over their lifetime. They were among a group of young researchers who founded the well-known “circle of Russian historians”. In 1889, V.G. Druzhinin defended his master’s thesis, and S.F. Platonov took part in the debate as a second opponent. L.N. Maykov’s letter casts light upon the morale of S.F. Platonov on the eve of the defense. The latter was also working on the manuscript with a review at that moment. The work progressed slowly and then stalled. The reason for this was explained in the above-mentioned letter, which is thus of great value due to the information that it contains. The rather voluminous manuscript by S.F. Platonov reviews the key literature on the topic, asserts original judgments on the use of historical sources. It is concluded that V.G. Druzhinin’s work has not yet received a fair and reasoned assessment in the scientific literature, except perhaps for an attempt made by S.F. Platonov. Of special interest are archival materials provided here.

Published: August 2022

Çalışmanın dayanaklarından göstergebilim, anlatı metinlerinin yapısını oluşturan bileşenleri ortaya koyarak onların yapılandırılma biçimlerini inceleyen bir çözümleme yaklaşımdır. Metinleri yapılandıran anlamsal ve söylemsel düzlemleri belirleyerek anlatının yapısını farklı boyutlarda ortaya çıkarmayı sağlar. Metindilbilim ise dilbilimin tümce üstü yapılara odaklanmasıyla gelişerek, metinlerin yapılarını, içerik ve dil bilgisi açısından nasıl kurgulandıklarını ortaya çıkarır ve bunları uygulamalı biçimde açıklar. Metin oluşturmanın genel koşullarını betimleyen metindilbilim, metin olanı metin olmayandan ayırır. Bu çalışmada Cumhuriyet Dönemi Türk yazınının kısa öyküleriyle tanınan yazarlarından Sait Faik Abasıyanık’ın Tüneldeki Çocuk adlı öyküsünün göstergebilim ve metindilbilimin imkânlarını birlikte kullanarak çözümlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bunun için nitel araştırma deseninde yürütülen bu çalışmada doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılarak metnin yapısına dair nitel veriler elde edilmiştir. Göstergebilimsel çözümleme basamaklarına göre metin bölümlere ve söylem kesitlerine ayrılmış, anlatının genel düzenlenişi ortaya konulmuştur. Ardından Greimas’ın eyleyenler örnekçesi çerçevesinde eyleyenler saptanarak bunlar arasındaki ilişkileri kuran eksenler belirlenmiş, anlatı izlencesini oluşturan süreçler ve kiplikler gösterilmiştir. Ardından figüratif karşıtlıklar saptanmış, uzam ve betimleme, zaman kullanımı, bakış açısı ve izleksel roller ortaya konmuştur. Diğer yandan bu başlıklar altında öyküdeki eşdizimsel örüntüleme görünümleri belirlenmiştir. İzleksel roller ve bakış açısının belirlenmesinde gönderim unsurlarının tespitinden yararlanılmıştır. Bu sayede metnin çok katmanlı yapısı iki ayrı çözümleme yaklaşımının katkılarıyla ortaya konmuştur. Buna göre incelenen anlatısal metinlerin yapısını ortaya çıkarmak için hem göstergebilimin hem metindilbilimin imkânlarından olabildiğince yararlanılmasının gerekliliği vurgulanmıştır.
Mimetik teori ve sinema: Tutku Oyunları filminde arzu ve nefret
Authors: BOSTAN Ayşe Dilara , BOSTAN Mesut
Published: August 2022

Bu çalışmada, yönetmenliğini Todd Field’ın üstlendiği Tutku Oyunları (2006) filminin Girardcı bir analizi yapılacaktır. Tom Perrotta’nın Little Children isimli kitabından uyarlanan film, Amerikan taşrasında yaşayan bir grup insanın arzu ve nefret dinamiklerini konu alır. Tutku Oyunları, arzunun ve nefretin taklitçi doğasını göstermesi bakımından edebiyat kuramcısı René Girard’ın romansal yapıt kavramı bağlamında incelenmeye elverişli bir anlatıdır. Girard, Romantik Yalan ve Romansal Hakikat: Edebi Yapıda Ben ve Öteki adlı eserinde arzuyu ve özneyi yücelten romantik yapıt ile arzunun mimetik yapısını görünür kılan romansal yapıt arasında bir karşıtlık kurar. Girard’ın teorisine göre romansal yapıtlar, teorisyenin üçgen arzu olarak isimlendirdiği model üzerinden arzunun dolayımlılığını görünür kılmaktadır. Tutku Oyunları filmi de merkezine aldığı karakterlerin arzularındaki mimetik yapıyı deşifre etmesi bakımından romansal bir yapıttır. Çalışmanın amacı Girard’ın teorisini sinema çalışmaları açısından bir imkân olarak değerlendirdikten sonra Tutku Oyunları filmindeki arzunun mimetik yapısını metin analizi yöntemi ile incelemektir. Bu çalışma sadece bir film analizi uygulaması olmanın ötesinde filmi günümüz kültürüne dair bir yorum olarak anlayan teorik bir mahiyet de taşır. Girard’ın romanlar üzerinden yaptığı hem kültürü analiz etme hem de kültüre dair teorik bir bakış geliştirme çabasına benzer şekilde bu çalışma da sinemayı hem analiz etmeyi hem de sinema üzerinden günümüzün kültürüne dair bir yorum getirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Fasciolosis is one of the most important causes of reduction in milk production, growth and fertility in cattle and causes considerable economic losses generated by liver seizures in slaughterhouses. The objective of this study was to determine the occurrence of livers seized by Fasciola hepatica in the Lorenzo Gonzales bovine slaughterhouse in Sagua la Grande municipality in Villa Clara province, Cuba. A retrospective observational analysis of the seizures of livers by F. hepatica in the period 2016-2020 was carried out. The prevalence, seasonality, trend and enzootic channels of the occurrence of livers seizures due to fasciolosis in slaughtered cattle were determined. In addition, the annual economic losses as a consequence of fasciolosis seizures were estimated. The sanitary impact of seizures due to fasciolosis showed a prevalence of 18.93%, which is a reflection of the epizootic situation of the units of origin. Losses due to liver seizures as a consequence of F. hepatica infestation amounted to 1 088 532 cup in the five-year period evaluated. The trend in the incidence of F. hepatica seizures is decreasing and shows a marked seasonal pattern in the months of March, April, May, June, October, November and December. The usual expected behavior of F. hepatica seizures of livers in the Sagua bovine slaughterhouse for a period of five years shows a wide range of monthly occurrences.
Use and improvement of automatic systems for control of reduced electric power sources in local electric networks
Authors: Savenko A. E. , Savenko P. S.
Published: August 2022

THE PURPOSE. Consider the use of automatic systems for controlling reduced sources of electricity in local electrical networks. Explore the possibilities of expanding the functions of such automatic control systems to improve the quality of electricity in terms of eliminating power exchange and common-mode oscillations. METHODS. Studies of diesel generator units operating in parallel in local electrical networks were carried out using mathematical modeling methods. The mathematical model takes into account the presence of the "backlash" phenomenon in the speed control loops. RESULTS. The expediency of using batteries, rectifier and inverter converters in local electrical networks is noted. Experimental studies in the local electrical network revealed the existence of power exchange and common-mode oscillations. Mathematical modeling also confirmed the occurrence of power exchange oscillations in the local electrical network due to the “backlash” in the frequency controller circuit, as well as power common-mode oscillations due to the difference in the frequency controller transmission coefficients for diesel generator units operating in parallel. A map of the dependence of the amplitude of power exchange oscillations on backlash gaps and a map of the dependence of the amplitude of power common-mode oscillations on the values of the gain of the frequency controller are obtained. CONCLUSION. The possibility of eliminating power exchange and common-mode oscillations by reducing and ensuring equality of the transmission coefficients of frequency controllers has been established. Adding the function of eliminating power exchange and common-mode oscillations to automatic control systems for reduced sources of electricity in local electrical networks ensures that the required quality of electricity is maintained in quasi-steady operating modes.

THE PURPOSE. The presented work aims to analyze the realities and prospects for the use of working media in the production of biodiesel fuel, including the supercritical fluid state. METHODS. Methods for obtaining biodiesel fuel are considered, including the method of transesterification, as the most common, as well as methods of pyrolysis and the combined process of hydrolysis and esterification. RESULTS. Traditional (industrially used methods for producing biodiesel fuel), as well as methods involving supercritical fluid media at their core, are considered. Along with a description of the state of affairs on the issues under discussion in the world, the results of our own research carried out by the team of authors of this article are also presented. Attention is drawn to the prospects of ultrasonic emulsification of the reaction mixture and the use of heterogeneous catalysts in order to mitigate supercritical fluid conditions for the process of obtaining biodiesel fuel and save energy. The conditions for obtaining biodiesel fuel without free glycerol and converting it into a fuel component are also discussed. CONCLUSION. Transesterification carried out under supercritical fluid conditions provides significant advantages over the traditional process and, especially in terms of the possibility of using a variety of raw materials, including low-quality ones, facilitates the procedure for isolating the final product and, finally, makes it possible to switch from relatively small-scale implementations with batch reactors to high-performance plants with flow reactors.
SULTAN MURAD II'S CHARİTY AT THE BRİDGE HEAD: ERGENE IMARET (ITS FOUNDATİON AND ADMİNİSTRATİON İN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 15TH CENTURY)
Authors: PARLAK Cengiz
Published: August 2022

Ergene Bridge was put into service in 1443. The imaret which was endowed by Sultan Murad II in 1447, was built in the center of Ergene town, that was established on the southeast end of the bridge. The bridge and the imaret provided the establishment and growth of the new town. In particular, the imaret complex provided the construction of important social, religious and economic charities and real estates that generates income in the center of the town, meeting the needs of the local population and quests. The foundation established by the sultan for the imaret, became a financial power in the realization of the services of the charities and the continuation of the activities of the real estates that generates income. The employes, who are the most important elements of the foundation and payment of the their salaries, the care of charities and real estates that generates rental income and the fulfillment of the needs of the needy living in the town have been thanks to the foundation revenues. In this point, the revenues, from the taxes and agricultural products of the villages subject to Ergene and Malkara to the foundation had a higher share than the foundation's revenue real estates that generates income in Edirne and Ergene. We will evaluate and try to explain the services of the imaret at the point of feeding and sheltering people, its effect on social welfare activities, the problems experienced accounting of the foundation, and the approach of the foundation governance to administrative issues in this research.

Numerical and experimental investigation of the flow structure in a diesel engine with different piston bowl structure
Authors: TEMİZER İlker , CİHAN Ömer
Published: August 2022

In this study, unfired (cold) flow application was investigated in a single cylinder die-sel engine with different combustion chamber geometries. In the experimental study, images obtained with the help of an endoscopic camera for different cycle points were instantly detected at constant speed. At the same time, velocity distributions of two dif-ferent combustion chambers for different crank angles were analyzed in Ansys Forte software at before and after TDC. Thus, the flow distributions of different combustion chamber geometries in the chamber were compared. It can be said that regional swirl is formed in the newly developed combustion chamber geometry and develop in the chamber rather than the piston base compared to the standard combustion chamber. In addition, especially during the compression process, the squish movement of the bowl was observed with the movement of the piston. Here, it could be said that the newly de-veloped chamber geometry is more effective than the standard bowl geometry. When the distribution of velocity vectors in the x-y and x-z axis were examined in numerical analysis, especially in the TDC position, it was determined that the interaction of the flow developed by the new bowl geometry with the fuel droplets was more evident. While it is seen that the vector velocity changes are close to each other at the 6920 CA before the fuel injection, it is seen that higher flow velocities are formed for the standard combustion chamber at the 7200 CA where the spraying continues and develops.

A number of recommendations on the method of linear classification of dairy and dairy-meat cows by body structure type have been proposed in Ukraine and other countries. A certain experience of their implementation in practical selection was obtained. In recent years, the interest in the study of the exterior-constitutional features of dairy cattle has increased significantly, as it has become obvious that in countries where the improvement of livestock productivity was carried out simultaneously with the intensification of selection for exterior-constitutional qualities, positive results were achieved.Objective of the research: to study the influence of bogai breeders of different genealogical lines on the signs of the posteriority of the cows – the first Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy breed.

The research was conducted according to the materials of the primary breeding stock in the breeding plant of the Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy breed DP "Shevchenkivske" of the Kyiv region. The materials of the electronic information database in the format of SUMS ORSEC were used. We evaluated the level of the first cows of the Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy breed at 2–5 months of lactation according to the method of linear classification.

The differences in absolute values of certain dimensions of Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy cows of different breeds have been established.

Relation of signs of the stud to the duration and efficiency of long-term use of cows has been investigated by many scientists. The results of our research testify to the presence of a significantly complementary and statistically significant correlation between both individual and group characteristics, the overall complex linear evaluation of dairy cows by the type of body structure and the duration of economic use and long-term productivity.

Among the described features the sufficient correlation level was found for the breast width (r = 0.264 ... 0.11 with P < 0.05), trunk width (r = 0.310 ... 0.10 with P < 0.01) and compactness (r = 0.394 ... 0.10 with P < 0.001). Also high level of correlation we have for the group signs of the mammary type (0.413 ... 0.11 for P < 0.001), tulub (0.371 ... 0.12 for P < 0.01) and nominal (0.370 ... 0.11 for P < 0.001) for the general estimation of the type of corps (0.413 ... 0.11 for P < 0.001).

It is recommended to conduct selection of first-calf cows with the highest indicators by measurements and linear evaluation by type for maternity herds repair, which will provide more functional reliability and prolong the duration of economic exploitation of the cows.

Published: August 2022

Background: Cardiovascular disease is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective adjunct to cancer chemotherapy but leads to cardiovascular-related side effects. Because coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has been shown to protect against cardiac damage, this study was conducted to investigate the protective effects of CoQ10 against cardiac damage in mice. Methods: We randomly divided six-week-old male C57BL/6 mice into four groups: control (n = 7), CoQ10 (n = 7), heart failure (HF) (n = 7), and HF+CoQ10 (n = 6) groups. HF group was induced via intraperitoneal injections with DOX (5 mg/kg) once weekly for 4 weeks. CoQ10 was solube in corn oil. The mice of CoQ10 and HF+CoQ10 group were given CoQ10 (100 mg/kg) once a day for 8 weeks. All mice were subjected to different treatment regimens for eight weeks. Metabolic characteristics, cardiac damage, oxidative stress markers (SIRT1, SIRT3, eNOS, TE, P53, SIRT5, CAT, HO-1, and SOD), energy metabolism markers (PARP-1 and PPAR-γ), myocardial fibrosis markers (Smad3 and TGF-β), and apoptosis markers (BAK, BCL-XL, and caspase-8) were analyzed at eight weeks after the different treatments. Results: CoQ10 reduced the levels of molecules related to cardiac damage, oxidative stress, energy metabolism, and myocardial fibrosis in mice with doxorubicin-induced HF. CoQ10 also exerted anti-apoptotic effects in HF mice. Conclusions: CoQ10 may be useful for preventing cardiac damage in DOX-induced HF.

Heart transplant remains the criterion standard treatment for patients in end-stage heart failure. Improvement in the post-heart transplant outcomes in the last decade has contributed to increased demand for organs. Worldwide each year, more than 5000 heart transplants are performed and 50,000 people become candidates for heart transplant. In the last 50 years, there have been several attempts to expand donor criteria to increase the donor pool. Despite making hepatitis C virus, opioid overdose death, old age allowable and changing the allocation system, the gap between supply and demand is widening and unfortunately, thousands die every year waiting due to the critical shortage of organs. New technologies for heart donation after circulatory death have emerged, particularly normothermic regional organ perfusion and ex-vivo heart perfusion using organ care systems. However, these technologies still do not fill the gap. Continuous advancements in areas such as regenerative medicine and xenotransplantation, among others, are needed to overcome the shortage of heart donors for heart transplantation.
Music as hypnosis? A comparative network analysis of entrancing states of mind
Authors: Vroegh Thijs
Published: August 2022

Music has often been linked to the capacity to induce trance-like states, with listeners sometimes describing their experiences as “hypnotic-like”. However, it is still unclear whether music can induce effects similar ¬¬¬to those found in response to a hypnotic induction, or whether these references rest on a metaphor. Using matched samples (n=266), this exploratory study compared the subjective experience of hypnosis and music by contrasting phenomenology of consciousness dimension scores in response to listening to self-chosen music and following a hypnotic induction. We estimated regularized Gaussian graphical models and corresponding centrality indices to detect the most central experiential features in the networks for both groups music and hypnosis. We also examined the interconnectedness between communities of nodes, and compared the two networks using the Network Comparison Test (NCT). The intensity of listening to music was found to be slightly higher compared to the hypnotic state, and differed especially in emotions and visual imagery. The NCT revealed that the networks were similar in density, as was the average variance of dimensions explained by the other dimensions included in the network. Although the adjacency matrices correlation was high, the overall network structures for music and hypnosis were nonetheless significantly different. Post-hoc tests further indicated that connections were significantly different for two pairs of dimensions: rationality – volitional control and self-awareness – volitional control. Altogether, these findings suggest that music and an applied hypnotic induction evoke different states of mind. Advocating a family-resemblances approach, more research is required to identify shared mechanisms of trance-like experiences.
Comparing Reported Prescription Drug Misuse between Ecological Momentary Assessment versus Timeline Follow-Back among College Students
Authors: Papp Lauren
Published: August 2022

Background: Accurate assessment of prescription drug misuse (PDM) is critical among young-adult college students, a particularly high-risk group for this substance behavior. No studies have compared assessments of college students’ reports of PDM obtained from their reporting in daily life (via ecological momentary assessment; EMA) to their retrospective accounts of PDM over the same period (via timeline follow-back interview; TLFB), an approach that is commonly used in substance use research. Purpose/Objectives: To determine day-level agreement and person-level agreement in college student reports of PDM in EMA versus TLFB methods. Methods: Participants were 297 college freshmen and sophomores (69% female) recruited based on misuse behavior in the past three months. PDM behaviors were captured in daily life using EMA for 28 days and TLFB administered during an in-person lab visit. Agreement was assessed at the person level (any PDM during the 28 days) and day level (PDM on a given day) using Cohen’s kappa and percent agreement. Results: PDM was reported more frequently using TLFB compared to EMA. Person-level agreement between the two methods was good (k=0.62, 95% CI: 0.53, 0.70), whereas day-level agreement was fair (k=0.23, 95% CI: 0.19, 0.28). Agreement in stimulant misuse reported across methods was more consistent compared to reports of other medication classes. Conclusions: Findings offer implications for the assessment of college student PDM data in substance use research.
