Determination of the Minimum Crude Protein Requirements of Broiler Starters and Finishers in the Tropics
Authors: Babatunde G. M. , Fetuga B. L.
Published: March 2021

THREE experiments were conducted with broiler chicks to determine the minimum crude protein levels in the diets of broiler starters and finishers reared in a tropical environment. The first two trials covered both the starter and finisher periods of 12 weeks while the third experiment covered only the finishing period. The calculated dietary crude protein levels used in the first trial were 14,16 18, 20, 22 and 24%; in the second trial, 20, 22, 24 and 26% and in the third trial, 14, 16, 18 and 20% on air dry basis. Results showed the 24% crude protein (trial 1) and 26% crude protein (trial 2) diets promoted highly significantly better live weight gains than all the other rations during the starter period while during the finishing period, there were no significant differences in the liveweight gains on the diets containing 18, 20, 22, 24 and 24% although growth was always better on the higher protein diets. Diets containing 14, 16 and 18% crude protein were grossly inadequate for the broiler starters while during the finishing period, if all the birds were on adequate broiler starter diets before being put on finisher diets, all those diets promoted growth almost equally well, there being no significant differences among growth rates. The feed/gain ratios followed the same trends as obtained for growth rates, the ratios becoming significantly better for higher protein diets. Mortality was highest for the lowest protein diets and lowest for the highest protein diets, while the percent nitrogen retained tended to be better, though not significantly so, for the higher protein diets. On the basis of these studies, it is recommended that the diets of broiler starter chicks in the tropics should not contain less than 24% crude protein, while those of the finishers should not contain less than 18% crude protein on air dry basis for optimal results.

Published: March 2021

TWELVE young goats, consisting of 6 West African Dwarf (Fouta Djallon), (10.19 to 15.45 kg).and 6 Red Sokoto (Maradi), (9.09 to 14.09 kg), were used throughout the experiment (3 trials). The 12 goats were maintained on basal forage (Cynodon nlemfuensis) in Trial 1 but in Trial 2, they were divided into two groups with two animals per sub-group. Animals in a sub-group were maintained on basal forage plus 25, 50 or 75 % fresh citrus pulp. In Trial 3, six West African Dwarfs were maintained on similar levels as in Trial 2 but using dried citrus pulp. The results showed that protein content of citrus pulp was low (6%) with high crude fibre value of 15% high moisture content (84%), and high nitrogen-free extractive (NFE) value (57%). Dry matter (DM) intakes of basal forage ration were higher than those of mixtures of basal forage and fresh citrus pulp (P < 0.01) due probably to high moisture content of the pulp, because the DM intakes of dried pulp mixtures were higher than those of basal rations (P < 0.01). The rations with 50% fresh or dried pulp was consumed more than the other mixture. Fresh pulp significantly depressed nutrient digestibilities at all levels of supplementation relative to basal forage (P < 0.05), while those of dried samples were about the same with the values for the basal ration. Red Sokoto and West African dwarf goats retained 39.29 and 41.34g/N/100g/N consumed respectively when fed on forage only, but 11.43 and 17.03, 14 11 and -14.22, -2.48 and 15.23g N/100g N consumed respectively when fed on grass/fresh citrus mixtures. The corresponding N retention for West African dwarf goats were 38.51, 31.86 and 40.01g N/100g N when fed the forage dried citrus mixtures. The digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) intakes for these animals were optimal at the 25 and 50% citrus supplementation. There was highly significant correlation between ME intake and liveweight changes throughout the experiment (P <0.01]). Animals fed on forage fresh pulp mixtures lost weights (-0.59 <0.01 kg/ animal/week) in Trial 2, while those on forage-dried citrus mixtures gained weights (0.05 <03 kg/ animal/week) in Trial 3.

Authors: Tewe O.O. , Job T. A. , Loosli J. K. , Oyenuga E. A.
Published: March 2021

Two common Nigerian cassava varieties Were subjected to proximate analysis with a view to assessing the relative potential nutrient composition of the roots, stems, leaves and seeds. The results obtained showed that the leaves, seeds and stems in that order are much richer than the roots in protein but higher in crude fibre. There was a relationship between the crude protein contents of the roots and stem and the hydrocyanic acid (HCN) content of the plant while that of the leaves and seeds did not appear to follow the same trend. HCN of the bitter cassava variety was considerably higher in the whole tuber, pulp and peel than in the sweet strain, sundrying and ensiling resulted in appreciable losses of HCN. Grated root lost about half its HCN content within six hours while stored whole roots showed a rapid decline in HCN from the fifth day after harvest. Apparent digestibility coefficients (A.D.C.) of the major nutrients of cassava roots were not significantly (P <0.05) affected by the processes of boiling or sundrying.

Published: March 2021

THE effect on body weight changes of sheep and goats and digestibility of maintenance rations in which cocoa husk constituted, 0%, 20%, 40% and 50% of the basal ration respectively were studied. These rations were fed to wethers and castrated goats in separate but concurrent digestibility trials. There was no significant change in body weight of both the sheep and the goat. Significant decreases in apparent digestibility occurred in dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, crude fibre and total digestible nutrients. The 40% cocoa husk ration in which cocoa husk existed with maize in the ratio 2:1 appeared to be next best to the control ration for fibre digestibility. Apparent digestibility of the crude fibre component of the feed was significantly higher in the sheep than in the goats.
Estimation of breeding value for bodyweight of grasscutters
Authors: Udeh I.
Published: March 2021

Animal breeders are interested in the genetic worth or total genetic merit of an animal for a given trait. The value of an animal in a breeding program for a particular trait is called the breeding value. The aim of this study was to predict the breeding values for bodyweight of grasscutters at 4, 6 and 8 months of age using univariate animal model. Four families of grasscutters with five grasscutters per family were used for the study. Families 3 and 4 had higher bodyweight at 4 and 6 months compared with families 1 and 2. Family 4 had the highest bodyweight at 8 month and family 2 had the least. The estimated breeding values (EBV) for bodyweight of grasscutters ranged from -0.06kg to 0.45kg at 4 month, -0.05kg to 0.45 kg at 6 month and -0.04kg to 0.55kg at 8 month. The reliability of the EBV (%) ranged from 51.00 to 62.50, 22.25 to 43.81 and 25.84 to 49.00 at 4, 6 and 8 months of age respectively. This implies that the correlations between estimated breeding value and true genetic merit were medium to high in magnitude. The reliability of the EBV could be improved further through collecting more phenotypic information on the animal and its relatives and by improving the heritability of the trait.
 
 
Les éleveurs s'intéressent à la valeur génétique ou au mérite génétique total d'un animal pour un trait donné. La valeur d'un animal dans un programme d'élevage pour un trait particulier est appelée valeur de reproduction. Le but de cette étude était de prédire les valeurs de reproduction du poids corporel des coupe-herbes à l'âge de 4, 6 et 8 mois à l'aide d'un modèle animal univarié. Quatre familles de coupe-herbes avec cinq coupes-herbes par famille ont été utilisées pour l'étude. Les familles 3 et 4 avaient un poids corporel plus élevé à 4 et 6 mois comparativement aux familles 1 et 2. Famille 4 avait le poids corporel le plus élevé à 8 mois et la famille 2 avait le moins. Les valeurs de reproduction estimées (le 'EBV') pour le poids corporel des coupe-herbes allaient de -0.06 kg à 0,45 kg à 4 mois, -0.05 kg à 0.45 kg à 6 mois et -0.04 kg à 0.55 kg à 8 mois. La fiabilité de l'EBV (%) 51.00 à 62.50, 22.25 à 43.81 et 25.84 à 49.00 à 4, 6 et 8 mois respectivement. Cela implique que les corrélations entre la valeur de reproduction estimée et le véritable mérite génétique étaient de taille moyenne à élevée. La fiabilité de l'EBV pourrait être encore améliorée en recueillant plus d'informations phénotypique sur l'animal et ses parents et en améliorant l'hérabilité du trait.

Published: March 2021

THREE trials were conducted to determine the optimum stocking density for broiler chickens raised in a tropical environment In Trial 1, 100,67, 50,40, 34 and 29 birds were placed in duplicates in each pen with an area of 3.72 M2 to give stocking densities of 0.037, 0.056, 0.074, 0.093, 0.10 and 0 128 M2 per bird respectively. In Trial 2, stocking densities of 0.046, 0056, 0.064, 0.074, 0.083 and 0.093 M2 per bird were compared. Trial 3 involved studying the effects of providing equal feeder space (5cm/bird) or equal number of similar sized feeders (2 feeders per pen) when birds were stocked at floor spaces of 0.056, 0.064, 0.74, 0.083 and 0.093 sq meter per bird. Results showed that weight gain and feed consumption decreased, while total meat yield and net income per unit area increased, with increase in stocking rates. Feed efficiency, mortality and carcass dressing percentages were not significantly affected by the stocking rates. The effects of stocking densities on the performance of the birds were not altered by equalizing the feeder space per bird or by providing equal number of feeders per unit space. Management problems in terms of wetness of litter, feeding and watering were encountered with stocking densities of 0.037, 0.046 and 0.056 M2/ bird. Stocking rates of 0.083, 0.093, 0.10 and 0.128 M2 were uneconomic and did not produce superior performances to stocking densities of 0.064 or 0.074 M2/bird. On the basis of the results, floor spaces of 0.064 or 0.074 M2 per bird may be recommended as the optimum for broiler chickens raised in the tropics. The feeder space at these optimum stocking rates need not be more than 5cm per bird.

Authors: Adegbola T. A. , Adeleye A. A. , Yoila Y. D.
Published: March 2021

Energy requirement for maintenance and weight gain of non-lactating, non-pregnant West African Dwarf ewes were determined by using equation of the form DOMI           = aw0.75 + bG........ (1) where, DOMI = Digestible Organic matter intake (kg/day), W = Liveweight of ewe (kg), G = Liveweight gain of ewe (kg/day), a = DOMI requirement per kg of Wkg0.75,  b = DOMI requirement for each kilogram liveweight gain. The regression equation obtained was DOMI = 0.0385Wkg 0.75 + 1.54G........(2). The values of DOM required per kilogram of Wkg0.75 and for each kilogram of liveweight gain, were 0.0385 and 1.54kg respectively. In terms of Metabolizable energy (ME) equation (2) can be written as follows: ME = 523.50Wkg0.75 + 20940.92G........(3) Values of ME required per kilogram of Wkg0.75 and each kilogram of liveweight gain were 523.5 and 20940.92 KJ from equation 3. These results are comparable to those obtained for other breeds of sheep of both temperate and tropical origin.

Published: March 2021

THE daily mthionine + cystine (MC) requirement of cobb-broiler chicken was estimated in three con­secutive experiments. In experiment 1, three groups of 30 day-old birds were fed one of eight diets. The diets contained bet­ween 0.52% and 1.08% MC in 0.08% stepwise in­crements. Liveweight gain peaked at 0.84% and 0.76% MC levels during 1-21 days (period 1) and 21-42 days (period 2) growth phases, respectively. MC intake/bird/d at these 0.84% and 0.76% MC levels was 0.21g and 0.42g respectively. Efficiency of feed utilisation was maximized at 0.76% MC level during each of the growth phases. In experiments 2, three groups (25/group) of 42-day old birds were fed one of eight diets. The diets contained between 0.48% and 1.04% MC in 0.08% stepwise increments. Liveweight gain and feed utilisation efficiency were maximized at 0.64% MC level during each of 42-63 days (period 3) and 63-84 days (period 4) growth phases. However, MC intake/bird/d was 0.58g during period 3 and 0.82g during period 4. Experiment 3 involved 9 diets ar­ranged in a 3 x 3 factorial design (Three energy levels: 2,800, 3,200 and 3,600 Kcal ME/kg diet; and three MC levels: 0.68%, 0.76% and 0.84). Each diet was fed to triplicate group of 30 day-old birds. The daily MC intake requirement of 1-28 day-old birds was 0.37g at 2,800 KcalME/kg diet; while that of 28-56 days old birds was 0.83 at 3,600 KcalME/kg diet.

Increased intradialysis weight gain increases the risk of cardiovascular death. Limiting fluid intake was very important to do because the kidneys cannot function normally. An increased intradialysis weight gain over 5% of dry weight can cause any complication. An internal factor that affects a person in performing self-care on fluid intake restriction, in this case is self-efficacy. The purpose of this study to determine the relationship of self-efficacy and self-care fluid intake with increased intradialysis weight gain. This research is a quantitative research, with cross sectional approach. Number of samples selected with random sampling was 112 respondents, primary data collection with questionnaires and weight scale. Statistical analysis used pearson product moment and multiple linier regression. The result of pearson product moment analysis shows p-value of self-efficay was 0,000 and p-value of self-care fluid intake was 0,038 means that each variables has a statistically significant relationship with increased intradialisis weight gain. The result of multiple linier regression analysis shows coefficient of determination value 0,138, means 13,8% self-efficacy and self-care fluid intake variables determine increased intradialysis weight gain, while 86,2% is determined by other variables not included in this research. Conclusion from this research is there is relationship between self-efficacy and self-care fluid intake to increased intradialysis weight gain with negative correlation coefficient, Means the stronger self-efficay and the better behavior of self-care fluid intake of hemodialysis clients will decrease the increase in intradialisis weight gain.
Boschi, legnami, costruzioni navali. L’Arsenale di Venezia fra XVI e XVIII secolo
Authors: Lazzarini Antonio
Published: March 2021

Il volume è dedicato allo studio dei boschi della Repubblica di Venezia, delle loro caratteristiche, dei metodi di gestione, del complesso meccanismo di approvvigionamento del legname per la cantieristica navale e della sua utilizzazione da parte dell’Arsenale. Vengono affrontate tematiche relative all’evoluzione dei sistemi costruttivi e dei costi di produzione di galee, galeazze e altre imbarcazioni a remi; da fine Seicento anche di vascelli, fregate e altri bastimenti a vela, in connessione con la trasformazione delle tecniche della navigazione e di quelle della guerra sul mare. Sono prese in considerazione le complesse questioni attinenti alla pressione esercitata sui boschi, soprattutto quelli di rovere, che forniscono la materia prima essenziale; i particolari regimi giuridici cui vengono sottoposti, sottraendoli alla disponibilità delle comunità locali; gli strumenti, a volte fortemente innovativi, usati a fini di conoscenza e di controllo, quali la compilazione di catastici e mappe; il ruolo esercitato dagli organi politici e tecnici dell’Arsenale nell’opera di governo e gestione; i valori e i limiti della riforma forestale che viene faticosamente approvata negli ultimi anni di vita della Repubblica.

Economics of the Financial Crisis: Any Lessons for the Pandemic Downturn and Beyond?
Authors: Elyassi Hamid
Published: March 2021

The world economy entered the third decade of this century with uncertainties and challenges of COVID-19 pandemic before it had fully recovered from the lingering aftereffects of the financial crisis. The financial crisis ended a period of overall global economic growth and price stability during which globalization and its principles of trade, economic and political liberalization were widely held as the emerging international economic and political order. In domestic economy, most countries favored supply-side economics and monetary policy in a free-market setting. This paper appeals to economic logic and empirical evidence to critically study external and internal economic processes and policies particularly of major world economies to identify what caused the unanticipated onset of the banking crash and why the ensuing persistent downturn defied remedial measures. It concludes that major trading powers departed from their declared commitment to free trade and its basic rules with no effective institutional safeguards and deterrents. Internally, absence of efficient monitoring and supervision of workings of nominal and real sectors allowed anomalies to develop within the market economy unnoticed. As regards inefficacy of policies against several years of stagnation, the paper discusses asymmetric performance of monetary tools and problematic application of fiscal policy to suggest revisiting supply-side and Keynesian approaches against their past performance and forge an eclectic kit of analytical and policy tools alongside the necessary organizational reforms.

Published: March 2021

In order to enhance the dispersion stability of ultra-fine Al2O3 powder in aqueous media, the alumina particles were modified with silane coupling agent KH570 at first, and then 2,2'-Azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AIBA) was anchored onto the modified Al2O3 to initiate the graft polymerization of acrylamide monomer (AM), and PAM/Al2O3 composite particles were obtained finally. The structure and dispersion property of Al2O3 composite particles were characterized by XPS, FTIR, laser particle size analyzer, micro electrophoresis apparatus, SEM and spectrophotometer. The results indicated that the attained composite abrasive when water-soluble azo initiator was added at 40 ℃ showed good dispersion stability in aqueous media with PAM as shell and Al2O3 as core. Compared with unmodified Al2O3, the reunion phenomenon of grafting polymerization modified Al2O3 powder was improved by AM, the D50 of the modified particles reduced. The isoelectric point (IEP) of the grafting modified particles migrated, and the zeta potential of the modified particles reached to the maximum value when the pH was 9. After PAM/Al2O3 abrasive polished, the surface roughness of NiP/Al hard disk surface was obviously reduced.

Hollande-Sarkozy: claves de un debate a cara de perro
Authors: Pastor Lluís
Published: March 2021

Hollande ganó por 7 a 3 (escribo esto a las pocas horas de haber terminado el debate y unos días antes de que los franceses voten a su nuevo presidente). Hollande ganó y convenció, y Sarkozy se comportó como el perrito pequinés que solo hace que ladrar a todos los que pasan a su lado.
Afrontar la inteligencia colectiva
Authors: Aguilar Moreno Estefanía
Published: March 2021

¿Es un grupo de personas restringido capaz de localizar, filtrar y dar respuesta a todas las necesidades de información dentro de una organización? Tradicionalmente los departamentos de vigilancia o de inteligencia se ocupaban de suministrar información para toda la organización pero, en la actualidad, las organizaciones, buscando la diferenciación, se sitúan cada vez más en los umbrales de su propio ámbito de conocimiento, y conceptos como hibridación o interdisciplinariedad hacen más complicado dar respuesta a las necesidades de información desde un único departamento.
Zapeo inverso
Authors: Sivera Sílvia
Published: March 2021

Se suele atribuir al geógrafo griego Estrabón el mito referente a la frondosidad de la Península Ibérica, según el cual una ardilla podía atravesarla saltando de árbol en árbol, sin tener que pisar el suelo en ningún momento. La saturación publicitaria en el panorama televisivo parece incuestionable, pero ¿es tanta como para poder practicar el zapeo inverso, es decir, ir saltando de canal en canal viendo sólo spots? Podemos comprobarlo.
La organización política ciudadana asistida por TIC, una aproximación sobre la influencia del “efecto red”, la brecha digital y la brecha participativa en el contexto chileno
Authors: Mellado Gatica Alejandro Mauricio
Published: March 2021

El objetivo de este trabajo está centrado en determinar cómo el efecto red, la brecha digital y la brecha participativa afectan el uso de las herramientas TIC en la actividad política ciudadana. Para esta labor, como primer apartado, se presenta una fundamentación teórica que sirve como marco de referencia para dar sustento al uso de las aplicaciones de software en la actividad política. Un segundo apartado definirá los conceptos de “brecha digital”, “brecha participativa” y “efecto red”, factores necesarios para determinar la disposición de los usuarios a utilizar una tecnología de software y/o la disponibilidad de la tecnología al alcance de usuarios políticos. La tercera parte evidenciará de manera cronológica el uso de distintas herramientas TIC en la acción política chilena, describiendo además, una agrupación política de base tecnológica. Un cuarto apartado realiza un análisis que determina cómo el efecto red y la brecha participativa inciden en el uso de las aplicaciones. Concluyendo que existe una brecha digital significativa en el uso e implementación de aplicaciones auto-gestionadas específicas, que tiende a contener las opciones alternativas, que concentra además. los usuarios en sólo unas pocas empresas transnacionales de Internet. No obstante, es posible observar pequeñas organizaciones políticas que están dispuestas al uso de las aplicaciones de software alternativo auto-gestionadas, presentándose en prospectiva una brecha participativa que puede dar ventajas comparativas a un grupo de activistas o partido político por sobre otros.
"Zoi püchükechegelu ñi mapuzungun engün: Una revisión de los estudios sobre el habla infantil en Mapuzungun”
Authors: Vivar Pilar , Henríquez Marisol
Published: March 2021

En los últimos 70 años los estudios sobre la adquisición del lenguaje han cobrado especial importancia dentro de la lingüística, lo cual se ha visto reflejado en el surgimiento de variadas teorías, que bajo distintos prismas han intentado explicar dicho proceso. En la actualidad, existe relativo consenso en que ninguna teoría puede explicar algo tan complejo y multifactorial como lo es la adquisición de la lengua materna. Sin embargo, hasta ahora sólo se ha documentado el 1% de las lenguas del mundo, por lo que el estudio de la adquisición y desarrollo en lenguas originarias es aún más escaso. La siguiente revisión presenta las investigaciones que se han hecho en mapuzungun evidenciando que la mayoría de éstas se han enfocado en etapas posteriores de la adquisición.
Food sovereignty, Diné ontologies: spiritual and political ecology as tools for self-determination
Authors: Clément Picos Eugénie
Published: March 2021

This article focuses on the different actors involved in the food sovereignty movement in the Navajo Nation. By first looking at the historical roots of colonization and western dominance over Indigenous lands and their food systems, I try to give some perspective on the actual movement to end colonization and capitalism. Both are seen as linked and are considered obstacles for the self-determination of the Navajos and Indigenous Peoples in general. The different actors involved (farmers, grassroots activists, intellectuals and academics) put forth food sovereignty as a key tool for decolonization. This might include a structural change in their political and economical lives, with interpersonal conflicts and frictions with the tribal government and the federal one. The tensions between the extractive economy, environmentalists and food sovereignty are present in the Navajo nation and impact their communities and the quality of their lives.
Narraciones del origen desde una materialidad nacional moderna: El proceso de creación del Wenüfoye (Bandera Mapuche) y su proliferación no tradicional
Authors: Labra Mocarquer Ricardo
Published: March 2021

En 1992 una parte del pueblo Mapuche dio a conocer el fruto de un proceso político creativo y concertado en pos de diseñar un objeto novedoso: el Wenüfoye (canelo del cielo), o bandera mapuche. El impacto que el Wenüfoye causó entre la opinión pública chilena, sección del territorio mapuche desde donde esta investigación ha sido generada, produjo diversas críticas desde variados actores. A pesar de las dificultades iniciales, la bandera fue un éxito, coronándose como objeto indispensable en las manifestaciones políticas mapuche contemporáneas. El presente trabajo expondrá, desde una revisión de fuentes documentales escritas, principalmente, el proceso de creación de este objeto al interior del actual territorio chileno, evaluando su particular lugar de inserción en la cambiante historia material mapuche del siglo XX y sosteniendo que gran parte de los efectos y condiciones de posibilidad del Wenüfoye se relacionan a una modernidad mapuche del siglo XX y no a una fundamentación anterior. Las implicancias de dicho proceso no solo iluminan parte de la agencia política de algunos objetos en las luchas por la diferencia cultural, además invitan a reflexionar sobre el rol del diseño de objetos en los proceso de descolonización.
Turismo Invasivo y Turismo Mapuche: territorio indígena y emprendimiento con identidad en Laguna Icalma, Alto Biobío
Authors: Krell Rivera Ignacio
Published: March 2021

Esta investigación cualitativa explora la agencia económica de emprendedores turísticos mapuche en las intersecciones entre los discursos del Desarrollo con Identidad y la turistificación del territorio Mapuche-Pewenche en el sur de Chile. En base a la observación etnográfica y entrevistas realizadas en el sector de Laguna Icalma, y el análisis de documentos institucionales, se describen narrativas contrapuestas en torno a la turistificación del territorio indígena emergiendo  de la apropiación estratégica del discurso gubernamental del Desarrollo con Identidad por los sujetos indígenas a los que  este interpela en tanto etno-emprendedores. A su vez, este  tipo nuevo de líder económico indígena comienza a ejercer una incidencia re-politizada sobre  las trayectorias de turistificación del territorio mapuche, avanzando una agenda de sustentabilidad situada en la reconstrucción ontológica del Pewenmapu.

Tercero, la hipótesis de la economía de altos salarios de Robert C. Allen. Cuarto, el concepto de revolución industriosa propuesto por Jan de Vries. El artículo concluye describiendo las tendencias recientes de la historiografía económica: la renovación de las ideas maltusianas, las críticas a la historia social de fines del siglo XX y el énfasis en la historia de Asia
Retóricas de la cocina. La culinaria del discurso de Platón a Lévi-Strauss
Authors: Campos Salvaterra Valeria Rocío
Published: March 2021

Son escasos los lugares donde encontramos referencias a la cocina en los textos filosóficos de occidente, pudiéndose concluir de ese vacío una cierta relación especial de esta temática con el discurso en general. Nuestra tesis al respecto es que, pese a su condición marginal para la filosofía, su aparición en los textos dedicados al saber es siempre comportando una cierta función retórica. El siguiente artículo muestra, a partir de ciertos escritos –inéditos y publicados– de J. Derrida, que tanto el comer como el cocinar representan metonímicamente la lógica general del discurso filosófico, en cuanto éste no puede distanciarse de una cierta retoricidad que le es constitutiva. Rastreando en ciertos textos clave, de Platón a Lévi-Strauss, estos usos trópicos de la cocina, mostraremos cómo ellos refieren a una suerte de lenguaje filosófico que quisieran, al mismo tiempo, excluir sin éxito de los dominios de la filosofía misma.

Published: March 2021

In the present era, there is a heightened awareness about the safety of drugs rather than the efficacy, which is largely due to the side effects as well as their consequences. This case study highlights the benefits of Ayurvedic medicine, which has yielded positive results by reducing hypo-pigmented patches of vitiligo, though the treatment was intended to treat Necrozoospermia. Vitiligo is an autoimmune cutaneous disorder of pigmentation which is correlated with Shwitra in Ayurveda. Main line of treatment for Shwitra in Ayurveda is Snehana (medicated fats) Shodhana (Purificatory therapies) followed by anointing body and exposure to sunlight. However, in this present case astounding effects were seen when the patient was treated only with internal medication for Necrozoospermia without considering Shwitra. Fifty-six years old man approached with chief complaint of secondary infertility and was diagnosed as Necrozoospermia (Shukra Dosha). There were hypo-pigmented patches of Vitiligo on his forehead. The patient was given Koshtha shuddhi (purgation) with Eranda Taila (medicated castor oil) to treat shukra dosha followed by medicines like Arogyavardhini Vati, Chandraprabha Vati, Shilapravanga and Phala Ghrita (medicated ghee). At the end of 3½ month of treatment, marked improvement in sperm count and increase in the sperm motility was observed, along with that vitiligo patches on the forehead were reduced remarkably without any external application. The present case study shows the effective management of vitiligo with Ayurvedic formulations without use of external applications highlighting the basic Dhatu Siddhanta (theory of tissue formation) of Ayurveda.

Authors: Kumar Sunil , Jain Saurabh , Sharma Rashi
Published: March 2021

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) or Von Recklinghausen's disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the development of multiple noncancerous tumors of nerves and skin (neurofibromas). Head and neck neurofibroma are generally located in the soft tissue. Here, a case of a 42-year-old man with NF1 has been presented. The disease started in childhood with the appearance of multiple hyperpigmented skin macules. He has generalized freckling and café-au-lait spots all over the body and cutaneous nodules with multiple sizes. The diagnosis of NF1 was made according to presence of two or more diagnostic criteria of the National Institute of Health Consensus Development Conference. On the basis of symptoms, it was closely related to the Kaphaja Arbuda. Acharya Sushruta mentioned Kshara and Ksharasutra in Arbuda Chikitsa. So, Ksharasutra was tied on the root of one of the neurofibroma size of 4 x 2.5 cm present on medial side of the mid arm. The Fibroma was shed-off completely after 7 days and no recurrence was observed in a follow up at the end of 12 months after application of Ksharasutra.
