Property crimes and mobile banditry: an introduction

This editorial focuses on traditional types of property crime in the Netherlands and Belgium, such as burglary and theft, and property crimes involving mobile organised crime groups (MOCGs) originating from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe and the Balkan countries. Over the past four decades, a relatively limited number of studies addressed specific types of traditional property crime, but in both countries a body of literature focusing on target selection by residential burglars has been established. Overall, a wide range of perpetrators can be identified, for example individual opportunists; itinerant groups which mostly originate from urban networks who commit property crimes in their areas of residence, but also in other parts of the country and abroad; and foreign mobile organised crime groups. Similar to observations in other countries, traditional property crime also dropped substantially in the Low Countries, although since 2022 figures regarding for instance car theft, theft of vehicle parts, e-bikes, and pickpocketing have started to increase. A solid explanation for both the crime drop and the recent rise in crime levels cannot be provided, although the latter is associated with increased activity of MOCGs, which may now be responsible for a quarter to one-third of traditional property crime. Highly professional MOCGs from Eastern Europe, and Lithuania in particular, focus on burglary, theft of expensive cars and e-bikes, agricultural produce and equipment, and theft of car parts, such as navigation, steering, and airbags. MOCGs originating from South-Eastern Europe and the Balkan countries are often composed of men, women and children and focus for instance on shoplifting, pickpocketing, residential burglary, metal theft and (forced) begging. In both cases, some members, particularly minors but also adults, can be considered victims of criminal exploitation.

A Dutch-German collaboration on combatting attacks on ATMs. Exploring the dynamics of international police collaboration

Transnational crime demands an effective international police cooperation. Throughout the years it seems difficult to realise a durable cross-border collaboration. This article presents findings regarding the research on Dutch-German collaboration on combatting attacks on ATMs. A challenge in this particular field of crime is the mobility of the offenders, often crossing national borders. A significant part of the offenders originate from the Netherlands. The findings are based on interviews with relevant actors in the cooperation and, among others, on analysis of relevant documents. The article suggests that the concept of collaborative governance provides useful insights for a better understanding international police cooperation. This mode of governance brings multiple stakeholders together in common forums to engage in consensus-oriented decision making. Based on this concept, the research identifies a series of factors that influence further collaboration. Due to an increase in the number of stakeholders the collaboration is becoming more complex. As a result it has arrived at a crossroad where there is a choice between continuing on the same route or heading for a different concept of collaboration.

Criminal exploitation by mobile banditry

Property crime committed by itinerant offender groups originating from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, as well as the Balkan countries, is a problem that confronts almost all countries in North-Western and Western Europe. An underexposed problem is that the members of such perpetrator groups not only commit crimes voluntarily, but may also be forced and considered victims of criminal exploitation. This paper examines how mobile organised crime groups (MOCGs) operate in this regard, which opportunity structures they use, and how public and private actors may better tackle criminal exploitation in the context of mobile banditry. The causes are complex and a combination of individual characteristics of offenders and victims, the effectiveness with which offender groups can organise their criminal business processes, and systemic factors such as the economic and social disadvantaged positions of individuals and the communities they come from. A combination of repression, prevention, and increasing the resilience of individuals and communities is therefore needed, in close cooperation between countries of origin and destination of MOCGs.
Token Lifetimes and Security in OAuth 2.0: Best Practices and Emerging Trends
Authors: Flanagan Heather
Published: October 2024

In networked and federated systems using OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, tokens are essential for securely communicating between human and non-human entities without requiring the constant revalidation in every request.  The improper management of these tokens, however, can expose systems to serious threats, such as token replay attacks.
While the most secure practices involve real-time risk-based token revocation and sender-constrained tokens, organizations may not be ready for that, given the maturity of their security infrastructure. Developers and architects should consider the security benefits of using short-lived, narrowly scoped client-bound tokens designed to minimize the risk of misuse. By limiting the lifespan of tokens or binding them to specific clients (as in sender-constrained tokens), organizations can significantly reduce the attack surface and thwart token replay attempts. Identity practitioners must be aware of the limitations of long-lived tokens as well as the best practices for securing token-based systems.

Published: October 2024

We address the sequence of Sun-to-Earth phenomena, that enables to study the mechanism for geoefficiency of eruptive prominences propagating from the Sun inside coronal mass ejections (CMEs). An eruptive prominence ejected in the solar wind (SW) moves at the SW velocity Earthward like adiamagnetic structure of eruptive prominence (DSEP).The key feature of the latter is a largesharp plasma concentration jump N inside the DSEP at a simultaneous sharp drop in the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) modulus B. It is the anti-correlation between the N and B profiles in DSEP, due to which its contact with the magnetosphere may lead not only to magnetosphere compression, but also to penetration of DSEP substance into the magnetosphere. The duration of the magnetospheric disturbance (in the form of dayside auroras), global increase in the current systems, charged particle flux enhancement in the radiation belts, and generation of the irregular Pi2-3 oscillations aredetermined by the DSEP size. We present statistical investigations into DSEPs observed in different years of solar activity and builta qualitative modelfor DSEP geoefficiency.

Authors: Zubair Asim , Rashid Muhammad , Aurangzaib Sadaf , Fatima Sonia
Published: October 2024

One of the many social structures created to regulate and control human life is marriage. It is the accepted social model in which a family is formed by at least two individuals. However, a marriage that does not follow the traditional path or that disregards fundamental human rights standards raises fundamental social difficulties with complex consequences. The present examination explores different causes and results of early marriage in Pakistani society. The aim to acquire or maintain power and control over a personal conflict is characterized by harsh conduct, such as aggressive behavior at home. Aggressive behavior reception and psychological pattern square measure practices utilized by one individual in a relationship to manage the opposite place or other relatives. This research study was conducted in Layyah, Punjab, Pakistan. For data collection, a specific range of people were targeted to get the best results, and then SPSS was used to analyze the data. Mostly, young brides were not in favor of early marriage. They said that in early marriage, they have to face many social, economic, psychological, and physical problems. They said they were not ready to hold this kind of responsibility at a young age.

Published: October 2024

This study explores the impact of women's empowerment on their participation in governance, examining the multifaceted barriers that hinder political engagement. Through qualitative methods, including case studies and focus group discussions, the research captures the experiences of women who have navigated these challenges. The findings reveal that cultural norms, economic limitations, and institutional inadequacies significantly affect women's political involvement. Empowerment initiatives, such as educational programs and supportive networks, were found to enhance women's confidence and motivation to participate in governance. The study emphasizes the need for targeted public policies, including gender quotas and mentorship programs, to create an inclusive political environment. Ultimately, the research highlights that fostering women's empowerment is crucial for ensuring diverse representation and improving the effectiveness of governance, contributing to more equitable decision-making processes in society.

A Cross-Sectional Study of Attitude and Behaviour of Individuals Towards Visiting the Hospital During the COVID-19 Pandemic in India
Authors: Shamsundar Manaswi , Choudhary Shaista
Published: October 2024

Introduction

Visiting the hospital is important as a part of check-up in avoiding the major risks of unknown and serious diseases irrespective of any pandemic. Our study aims to understand the attitude and behaviour of the public towards visiting the hospital during COVID-19 pandemic in two major hotspot areas of India namely western Maharashtra state and southern Karnataka state.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted between July-August 2021 among the population of western Maharashtra and southern Karnataka states in India. A total of 636 respondents responded to the survey using an electronic form that was distributed through social media platforms and returned electronically. The inclusion criteria were literate undergraduate and postgraduate individuals from the public and individuals from the medical field at the time of data collection, having access to an internet connection to fill out the online questionnaire. Individuals who did not fill the form completely were excluded from the study.

Results

Among 636 respondents, 74.8% were not ready to visit the hospitals while 25.2% of respondents were willing to go to the hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic if their symptoms were serious. The top three reasons for the reduced willingness to seek hospital care were fear of getting infected in the hospitals by COVID-19 patients (72.6%), fear of stepping out of home (31.1%) and fear of COVID-19 infection from lab equipment (24.5%).

Conclusion

Overall the study revealed that there was a reduction in willingness to visit hospitals for conditions other than COVID-19 after the start of the pandemic. Individuals were still willing to go to hospital if they experienced severe symptoms or symptoms attributed to COVID-19. These findings may be useful to develop strategies to address the public’s safety concerns related to seeking hospital care during a pandemic.
Rapid (7-Day) Readmissions to an Inpatient Medical Service at a Tertiary, Academic Medical Center
Authors: Finn Arkadiy , Naqvi Raza , Selvaraj Vijairam , Dapaah-Afriyie Kwame
Published: October 2024

Background

Rapid readmissions, occurring within 7 days of hospital discharge, are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Objectives: Identify causes of rapid readmissions with a focus on clinical judgement errors and improve discharge practices.

Methods

Records of 371 patients discharged from an inpatient medical service and readmitted within 7 days were reviewed. Causes for readmission were identified and classified into 10 categories, including diagnostic and/or therapeutic error leading to readmission.

Results

Fifty percent of rapid readmissions were related to severity of underlying disease/failure to respond to treatment. Adherence challenges, patients with known high hospital utilization, and substance use disorder/uncontrolled psychiatric conditions accounted for 32.4% of 7-day readmissions. Readmissions related to clinical judgement accounted for 24 (6.5%) of the total readmissions. Clinical judgement errors were comprised of 6 diagnostic and 18 therapeutic errors, involving infections, diabetic medications and anticoagulation agents.

Conclusions

Most rapid readmissions are related to the severity of the condition during the index hospitalization. Clinical judgement errors are a rare cause for rapid readmission and involve certain high-risk medications and symptoms which require a high degree of awareness from the discharging provider.

Published: October 2024

A woman in her 50s presented with hyper-religiosity, auditory hallucinations, episodes of staring associated with unresponsiveness and stiffening of her entire body. A broad workup excluded autoimmune encephalitis, sarcoidosis, and prion disease. She was diagnosed with PERM (progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus) syndrome which was supported by elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) glutamic acid decarboxylase. She responded to treatment with corticosteroids and weekly rituximab therapy over four weeks. PERM is an autoimmune condition which is a rare variant of stiff person syndrome involving rigidity, dysautonomia and encephalopathy. PERM requires the clinician to have a high index of clinical suspicion to recognize and treat.
Lessons Learned When Discharging Older Adults to Skilled Nursing Facilities
Authors: Barry Katherine , Tyagi Rohit , O'Brien Jill , McNicoll Lynn
Published: October 2024

Background

When patients transition from an inpatient hospital stay to a skilled nursing facility (SNF), the information that is sent with them is essential to proper care in the facility.

Methods

Records of hospital-to-SNF transfer were reviewed for opportunities for improvement in providing accurate or complete information. SNF staff were asked about their experiences caring for these patients and the effects that the inadequate documentation had on the patient’s medical care.

Results

Four cases were identified that exhibit key errors that make the transition from the inpatient setting to the SNF setting difficult and potentially unsafe for patients and providers. These included: (1) inaccurate medication reconciliation on discharge, (2) incomplete medication instructions on discharge, (3) lack of information about the inpatient course and diagnoses and (4) missing instructions for follow-up care and procedures.

Conclusions

Education for hospital-based providers has the potential to decrease the risks associated with transitioning patients from inpatient to SNF care settings. Structural and systemic changes could reduce the role of human error in this process and decrease the time requirements on overburdened hospital staff.
The Effectiveness of 2020 E-Commerce Rules in Protecting Consumer Rights
Authors: Mehta Kiran R.
Published: October 2024

This paper critically evaluates the effectiveness of India’s Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020 in safeguarding consumer rights within the rapidly growing digital marketplace. The 2020 rules, introduced under the Consumer Protection Act of 2019, were designed to address challenges arising from the proliferation of e-commerce platforms, including issues related to transparency, grievance redressal, counterfeit products, and data protection. The paper examines how these rules have enhanced consumer protection by mandating clear product information, establishing robust grievance mechanisms, and promoting accountability among e-commerce platforms. However, the implementation of the rules faces several challenges, such as uneven enforcement across platforms, limited consumer awareness, and difficulties in regulating cross-border transactions. Additionally, the paper explores the gaps in data privacy protections and the ongoing issues of counterfeit goods within online marketplaces. While the rules represent a significant step forward in regulating the e-commerce sector, this analysis highlights the need for continued regulatory oversight, technological innovation, and consumer education to ensure that the rules are effectively implemented and enforced. The paper concludes that although the 2020 E-Commerce Rules have made strides in protecting consumer rights, further reforms are necessary to address emerging challenges and ensure equitable consumer protection in India’s expanding e-commerce ecosystem.
Practitioners’ Experiences of School Readiness in Rural Early Childhood Centres in QwaQwa Free State, South Africa
Authors: Mofokeng Mahudi
Published: October 2024

The analysis of the school preparation experiences of rural early childhood practitioners. Multiple complex issues exist regarding school preparedness in South Africa. Research has found that many South African children are unprepared for formal schooling. Some of the challenges experienced by these young learners were low reading strength, learning setbacks and complications, and sluggish general development. As a result of these issues, young children face long-term repercussions. These include the inability to escape the cycle of poverty, lack of educational support, and poor socioeconomic conditions within their environment. Therefore, it can be argued that teaching within the South African public schooling context is marred with difficulties and unforeseen challenges. It is difficult to imagine how to modify South African infrastructure so all children can reach their full potential. Given that our ancient past is still rife with historical and power changes, the government must consider several factors while developing ways to aid transformation. This study investigated the perspectives of practitioners on school preparedness. At the same time, it investigates the significant learning at the grass-roots level that emerged from participation in a critical paradigm-based participatory action research project. The study is anchored in a philosophical methodology that leverages Practitioners’ idea that early childhood learners are ready for formal school. They do not emphasize play as a pedagogy for learning in preparation for school readiness. This paper is grounded in constructivism, which helps comprehend how school readiness knowledge improves formal education for young students. The author used the qualitative research approach with an interpretive paradigm to explore practitioners’ school readiness experiences. The author developed a semi-structured interview schedule to collect data from six practitioners in the Thabo-Mofutsanyana district in the Free State Province. The findings revealed practitioners lacked appropriate training and support in preparing young learners in ECD centres. Furthermore, practitioners lacked appropriate pedagogical skills to strengthen teaching and learning. The study recommended that practitioners receive ongoing professional teacher development in school readiness and use various teaching and learning strategies such as play pedagogy.

Background: A key element of the pharmaceutical care plan is the appropriate use of medications. Objectives: Using the WHO/INRUD core drug use indicators, this study sought to evaluate medication usage trends at both public and private healthcare centres in the Lahore district of the Punjab province of Pakistan. Methodology: A cross-sectional and descriptive study design was adopted. For data collection, 399 prescriptions (199 prescriptions from public and 200 prescriptions from private healthcare facilities) were systematically sampled written from February to July 2022. To evaluate the prescription indicator, patient-care and facility-specific indicators, patients randomly selected from both public and private hospitals were examined and interviewed. For each of the WHO/INRUD indicators, we considered ideal criteria that have been published. Results: The average number of medicines prescribed each encounter was reported to be 6.26% in public hospitals and 4.14% in private hospitals among the prescribing indicators, generic medication, antibiotics, and the number of times patients received injections were prescribed, respectively, in 54%, 84%, and 89% of public hospitals and 19%, 61.7%, and 78% of private hospitals.  In the public and private sectors, respectively, 71% and 97% of prescription drugs were from the list of essential drugs. The average consultation time was found to be 2.1 minutes in public hospitals and 3.2 minutes in private hospitals, while the average dispensing time was reported to be 37 seconds in public hospitals and 39 seconds in private hospitals. Of the total prescribed medicines, 84% and 97 % were dispensed in public and private hospitals respectively and the percent medicine adequately labelled was 100% in both healthcare facilities. Regarding patient awareness, 69% of patients in private hospitals and 42.5% of patients in public hospitals were aware of the proper dosage, frequency, and duration of the medications that were prescribed. In terms of facility-specific data, both public and private hospitals had 100% availability of the EDL copy and 82% stock of the important medications, respectively. Conclusion: Irrational use of drugs was observed in both public and private healthcare facilities. WHO/INRUD proposed 12 key initiatives to encourage rational use of medications must be put into practice as a result of present study.

La dévolution ou le pouvoir d’agir des élèves en cours d’arts plastiques et visuels : la place de la « prise de risques » à l’école
Authors: Barblan Yves Maurice Jean
Published: October 2024

Les visées prioritaires du Plan d’Études romand (ci-après, PER), prescriptions officielles pour l’enseignement aux élèves entre 5 et 15 ans en Suisse romande, prônent pour l’enseignement des arts plastiques et visuels (APV) « le développement de la personnalité par l’accès à la culture à travers le processus créatif » (PER, Arts – Corps et mouvement, 2010, p. 5). Cet enseignement basé sur « l’expérimentation dans une perspective identitaire » (PER, Arts – Corps et mouvement, 2010, p. 5-9) impliquant de fait une forte « adresse individuante » (Kerlan, 2004) aux élèves et ancre l’enseignement dans la pratique soulignant une tension entre normes relatives à une tradition enseignante et développement de la personnalité. En cela, il s’agit d’une forme scolaire (Vincent, 1994) que nous abordons ici sous l’angle d’une tradition enseignante soumise à des impératifs divers, dont nous retenons : l’écart entre l’évolution d’une discipline scolaire et l’évolution de ses pratiques de référence dans le cadre des écoles d’art (Martinand, 1986) ; les représentations inhérentes à cet écart qui influent sur l’acte d’enseignement en APV pour les futurs enseignants. Cette tension semble décuplée par le manque de moyens d’enseignement ou de programme à proprement parler et par l’absence de consensus dans la corporation due à la diversité constitutive des pratiques sociales de références. Cela implique pour les enseignants une liberté totale quant aux choix des savoirs à enseigner. Dans cet article, nous nous posons les questions suivantes : – Quels sont les contenus d’apprentissage mis à l’étude pour favoriser la « prise de risque » des élèves et quels sont les aménagements prévus à cet effet par les enseignants ?– Comment, en présence ou en l’absence explicite de cadre normatif, des contenus d’apprentissages sont-ils transmis par l’enseignant ? Nos premiers résultats démontrent une difficulté à transposer des savoirs propres à favoriser le développement de « la pensée créatrice » dans des situations pratiques.

Published: October 2024

Cet article interroge la portée pédagogique du Squiggle Game concernant les apprentissages artistiques. Le Squiggle Game est une méthode de dessin originale en psychanalyse, requérant que le psychologue clinicien dessine avec le patient en psychothérapie. Nous soutenons que l’expérience du corps dans une activité de dessin partagée favorise un processus de co-construction permettant le développement et l’acquisition d’un savoir-faire graphique inattendu et d’une forme de créativité en dessin. Pour illustrer et discuter nos propositions de recherche, nous présentons une littérature pluridisciplinaire en psychanalyse et en sciences de l’éducation sur le Squiggle Game, puis sur le dessin dans l’enseignement. Nous interrogeons la place et la fonction du corps dans l’activité de dessin et le processus de co-construction entre les dessinateurs, particulièrement en articulant les travaux psychanalytiques sur le psyché-soma et la notion de corps apprenant. Nous explicitons ensuite un dispositif de recherche qualitatif développé en France dans une classe d’élèves âgés de 16 à 18 ans en lycée professionnel qui étudient le design graphique. Une analyse qualitative en appui sur le structuralisme de l’école française montre comment une symétrie relationnelle constitue un dialogue corporel pédagogique entre les dessinateurs (élèves comme enseignant). Nous verrons ainsi que la psychanalyse apporte aux sciences de l’éducation la fécondité d’un dispositif thérapeutique qui intègre les enjeux du développement psychoaffectif.

Published: October 2024

Objective: Animals will experience energy deprivation processes such as moulting, clutching, migration and long-distance transportation under natural survival conditions and in production practices, and the body will trigger a series of adaptive metabolic changes during these processes. Fasting and refeeding after fasting can induce remodeling of nutrients and energy metabolism. This study aims to investigate the mechanisms by which the gut microbiota and liver of poultry respond to energy deprivation under specific conditions.Methods: Ninety 252-day-old laying hens were randomly divided into 3 groups: (1) fed ad libitum (control group); (2) fasted from day 13 to day 17 (fasting group); (3) fasted from day 1 to day 5, then refed on a specific feeding way (refeeding group). After that, the serum, liver, jejunum tissues, and cecum contents were sampled and sent for metabolome, transcriptome, morphology, and 16S rDNA sequencing analyses, respectively.Results: Results showed that food deprivation not only observably decreased the body weight, liver index, and the villus height and villus/crypt ratio of jejunum, but also significantly changed the gut microbiota compositions, serum metabolic profiles, and the hepatic gene expression patterns of laying hens, whereas these changes were effectively reversed by the following refeeding operation. At the same time, metabolome combined transcriptome analysis revealed that both serum differential metabolites and hepatic differential expressed genes (DEGs) were consistently enriched in the lipid and amino metabolism pathways, and strong correlations were synchronously found between the differential metabolites and both of the differential gut microbial genera and DEGs, suggesting the crosstalks among gut, liver and their resulting serum metabolic products.Conclusion: The results suggested that the organism might coordinate to maintain metabolic homeostasis under energy deprivation through a combination of changes in gut microbial composition and hepatic gene expression.

Objective: Pre-slaughter transportation adversely impacts the welfare, meat yield, and quality of broilers, yet the effects of different crate types on broiler chickens during winter remain underexplored. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of plastic and iron crates in transit on meat quality, carcass, and physiological traits of broiler chickens during winter.Methods: A total of 175 (35-day-old) Ross 308 male broilers with an average body weight of about 1,708±33.3 g (mean±standard error of the mean) were picked after 4 hours of feed withdrawal before transport. The control group comprises birds in the farm (n = 15) without transportation at 173 cm2/kg density. The birds were transported into fixed iron (25 birds per crate) and plastic crates (15 birds per crate) with four replicates per crate type at the same 173 cm2/kg densities. The transportation distance was 20 km for 40 min at an average speed of 30-50 km/h early morning at 8:00 am under −1°C and 47% relative humidity.Results: There was no difference (p>0.05) in carcass traits among the treatments. Concerning meat quality, broilers transported in both crate types exhibited lower (p<0.01) a* values compared to the control group. Additionally, the iron crate group demonstrated higher (p<0.05) b* values for the breast meat compared to the other groups. In terms of blood metabolites, the iron crate group had higher (p<0.05) cortisol, glucose, and lactate levels compared to the control group that did not transport.Conclusion: Broilers transported in the iron crates increase stress levels in terms of higher cortisol, glucose, and lactate contents in the blood plasma compared to untransported broilers during the winter. Therefore, employing plastic crates, which induce significantly reduced cortisol and numerically lower glucose levels compared to iron crates, appears more favorable for animal welfare by mitigating stress.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the selection history, genome regions, and candidate genes associated with different chicken body sizes, thereby providing insights into the genetic basis of complex economic traits such as chicken body size and growth.Methods: In this study, a total of 217 individuals from eight breeds were selected. According to body size, they were divided into two groups: large chickens and bantam chickens, with four breeds in each group. Firstly, we investigate population structure by principal component analysis (PCA), phylogenetic tree, and ancestry component analysis. Next, we recognize runs of homozygosity (ROH) islands through calculating ROH. Finally, we carry out selection signatures analysis utilizing population differentiation index and nucleic acid diversity.Results: The population structure analysis show that large and bantam chickens are clearly separated. Large chickens are clustered together, the bantam chickens are relatively dispersed. The results of ROH island analysis show that 48 and 56 ROH islands were identified in large and bantam chickens respectively. Among the interesting ROH islands, a total of eight candidate genes were identified. In selection signatures analysis, a total of 322 selected genes were annotated in large chickens, such as POU1F1, BMP10, enrichment in 16 gene ontology (GO) terms. In bantam chickens, a total of 447 selected genes were annotated, such as IGF1, GRB10, enrichment in 20 GO terms and 2 Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathways. The haplotype analysis results show that GRB10 has differences in chickens of different body sizes.Conclusion: By population structure, ROH islands, and selection signatures analysis, we have identified multiple genes associated with chicken body size, growth, and development (such as BMP10, IGF1, GRB10, etc). This provides a theoretical reference for the subsequent development of molecular markers for chicken body size and the analysis of the genetic mechanism of chicken body size.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate effects of apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn) levels in diets on productivity, fat deposition, and biochemical parameters of Woorimatdag1 (WMD1) breeder pullets.Methods: A total of 240 four-week-old WMD1 breeder pullets were divided into four dietary groups with five replicates (12 birds per replicate). These groups had the following dietary energy levels: standard metabolizable energy (SME), SME-200, SME-100, and SME+100 (diets containing 2,800, 2,600, 2,700, and 2,900 kcal AMEn/kg, respectively). These pullets were provided with diets and water ad libitum until 16 weeks old.Results: Weight gain was significantly (p<0.05) higher in SME-100, SME, and SME+100 groups than in the SME-200 group. SME+100 and SME groups exhibited significantly (p<0.05) improved feed conversion ratio compared to the SME-200 group. Laying ages of 30% egg production occurred significantly (p<0.05) earlier in SME-100, SME, and SME+100 groups than in the SME-200 group. SME and SME+100 groups had significantly (p<0.05) higher liver fat (%) than the SME-200 group. Additionally, the SME+100 group had higher (p<0.05) abdominal fat (%) than other groups. However, blood parameters were not significantly different among dietary groups.Conclusion: SME-100 (2,700 kcal AMEn/kg) might be suitable for improving productivity and fat deposition of WMD1 breeder pullets.

Objective: Antemortem stress accelerated muscle energy consumption in postmortem muscle. The objective of our study was to investigate the regulation of guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) administration on the postmortem glycolysis and protein acetylation in postmortem muscle of antemortem stress.Methods: Forty C57BL/6 male mice were chosen and randomly assigned to four treatment groups (A, B, C and D), each treatment consisted of 10 replicates. Mice in group B, C and D were treated with 0.05% GAA oral administration for 6 days. On the 7th day of the experiment, the mice in group A and B were injected with saline, and mice in group C and D were injected with 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide1-β-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR; 50 μg/g body weight) and a combined injection with AICAR (50 μg/g body weight) and histone acetylase inhibitor II (HAT II; 185 μg/g body weight), respectively.Results: The results showed that the values of pH45min and pH24h of postmortem muscle in GAA administration were higher than those in the control group. However, the opposite result was observed in AICAR group. Moreover, the activities of pyruvate kinase, hexokinase and fruc-tose-2,6-diphosphatase, combined with the protein abundance of phosphorylated liver kinase, phosphorylated AMPKα2 and total acetylated protein were all decreased by GAA administration and HAT II treatment.Conclusion: Taken together, adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase signaling and protein acetylation could mediate the regulation of GAA administration on postmortem glycolysis of antemortem stress-muscle.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of host-specific and locally isolated multistrain probiotics on piglet performance, mortality, inflammatory responses, and gut microbiome.Methods: A total of 52 piglet litters-34 from Landrace sows and 18 from Large White sows-were allocated to two groups: a control group and a multi-strain probiotic group. The probiotic group comprised seven strains of lactic acid bacteria (MLAB): Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus paraplantarum, Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus pentosus, Weissella cibaria, and Pediococcus pentosaceus. Each strain was included in equal concentrations, resulting in a final liquid mixture containing 109 colony forming units/mL. The MLAB group received the probiotics orally starting from 7 days of age until weaning at four weeks. Following weaning, supplementation continued via feed spraying for an additional four weeks.Results: MLAB supplementation did not significantly affect piglet performance but showed a trend towards reducing the mortality rate (p = 0.06). It influenced the inflammatory response by upregulating the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10 (p<0.05). Microbial community analysis indicated that MLAB supplementation increased both microbial diversity (Simpson index: p = 0.06) and species richness (Chao1 index: p = 0.02). Piglets receiving MLAB had a significantly higher abundance of the phylum Firmicutes (p<0.01) compared to the control group, while the abundance of the phylum Bacteroidota was markedly reduced (p<0.01). In addition, the relative abundance of the bacterial genera Prevotellaceae_NK3B31 (p<0.01) and Chlamydia (p = 0.03) was lower in the MLAB group.Conclusion: Overall, these results suggest that while MLAB supplementation does not directly improve piglet growth performance, it has the potential to improve immune function and promote a healthier gut microbiota in weaning piglets, which could ultimately reduce mortality rates.
