Authors: Ghasemi Naser , Amanlou Hamid , Sis Naser , Nobar Ramin , Jozghasemi Shahrzad
Published: April 2024

Background: Hypocalcemia is one of the most common transition period disorders that affects dairy cows and has been divided into clinical and subclinical types.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between postpartum serum calcium (Ca) concentrations with metabolic disorders and body condition score (BCS) in Holstein dairy cows.
Methods: Two hundred and seventy-one Holstein cows were blocked from two commercial dairy herds based on parity (primiparous and multiparous) and serum Ca concentrations on calving day, 1 and 2 days postpartum were allocated to 1 of 3 groups: 1) Serum Ca concentration >8.5 mg/dL at the calving day, 1 and 2 days postpartum (normocalcemic); 2) serum Ca concentration ≤8.5 mg/dL on the calving day and 1 or 2 day postpartum (TSCH; transient subclinical hypocalcemia); and 3) serum Ca concentration ≤8.5 mg/dL on the calving day, 1 and 2 days postpartum (PSCH; persistent subclinical hypocalcemia).
Results: The results showed that the primiparous and multiparous cows had the highest TSCH and PSCH percentages, respectively. Ca status after calving did not affect the BCS changes, incidence of milk fever, hypomagnesemia and hyperketonemia, and clinical and subclinical endometritis. The incidence of retained placenta, metritis, and subclinical mastitis were affected by Ca status after calving, so PSCH cows experienced 6.28, 6.43, and 5.9 times more retained placenta, metritis and subclinical mastitis than normocalcemic cows, respectively. The culling rate within the first 60 days in milk (DIM) for PSCH cows was 4.61 times more than for normocalcemic cows.
Conclusion: Overall, the results of the study showed that cows with PSCH had a higher incidence of retained placenta; uterine infections, subclinical mastitis and culling rate, but cows with TSCH were similar to healthy cows in terms of metabolic disorders and culling rate.

Authors: Mariol Najmi , Mahdy Atef , Amer Hussein , Aghwider Ali , Hazzaa Abubakr
Published: April 2024

Background:
Reproductive efficiency affects dairy cow profitability. Ovarian function in postpartum has been better understood using ultrasound and hormonal assays. Optimizing ovulation synchronization and carefully timing artificial insemination can greatly enhance reproductive rates in dairy cows.
Aim:
This experiment was designed to investigate the reproductive performance and ovarian activity in early postpartum lactating dairy cows using the Presynch-PGF2α, Ovsynch protocol and timing artificial insemination (TAI).
Methods:
Randomly the cows were assigned to a control group and a treatment group, based on chronological order of their calving date. On Day 14 postpartum (P.P), both groups received two cloprostenol treatments, 14 days apart. Ultrasonographic inspections were conducted on day 14 to check ovarian activity and uterine contents. On day 11 after presynchronization, cows in the treatment group were given 100 µg im. of cystorelin, followed by a luteolytic dose of 500 µg IM. cloprostenol on day 7 and a second dose of cystorelin on day 8 (36 hours later). After the second cystorelin injection by16-20 hrs., cows were inseminated, while the control group had all cows displaying spontaneous estrus between day 0 and day 28 was artificially inseminated.
Results:
Ovarian activity began to improve at 82.61% on day 19 P.P., with complete recovery between days 24 and 27 P.P. The second cloprostenol injection approached, causing follicular size to reach 8.41±1.04 mm. After the second injection, ovarian activity switched from follicular to luteal, with corpus luteum (CL) rates of 23.91 and 26.1%. The presynchronized PGF2α regimen significantly enhanced ovarian activity from days 19–35 P.P. Ovulation and pregnancy rates in the Ovsynch group were 54.2% and 41.7% at the first timed artificial insemination (TAI), compared to 54.5% and 31.8% in the control group. There was no significant impact between them; it was just high in the presynchronized Ovsynch group. But the postpartum period was minimized to 47–49 days till the first AI to reach a 41.7% pregnancy rate and 20.8% at the second AI, for an overall 62.5%.
Conclusion:
The current study concludes that presynchronization during preservice in clinically normal postpartum dairy cows reduces postpartum duration, increases ovarian activity performance, and reduces ovarian dysfunctions from Day 19 to Day 35 postpartum, as well as improve the pregnancy rate.

ESTUDO BIBLIOMÉTRICO SOBRE O TRANSTORNO DO DÉFICIT DE ATENÇÃO E HIPERATIVIDADE (TDAH), APRENDIZAGEM E FENOMENOLOGIA
Authors: Andreolla Iago Blaine Medeiros , Andreolla Veruschka Rocha Medeiros , Jubini Gilberto Mazoco , Soares Vitor de Souza
Published: April 2024

O Transtorno do Déficit de Atenção com Hiperatividade (TDAH) consiste em um comportamento contínuo caracterizado pela desatenção, hiperatividade e impulsividade afetando o funcionamento do desenvolvimento neurocomportamental podendo ocasionar distúrbios motores, perceptivos e cognitivos. É imprescindível destacar o notável cuidado que atualmente se faz necessário em relação à violência da positividade. Os trabalhos do filósofo Byung-Chul Han a respeito dos novos jeitos de (auto) dominação, na sociedade contemporânea, constituem-se em inquietações para todos inseridos na sociedade atual em um mundo globalizado. As reflexões sobre a sociedade do século XXI apontam para uma sociedade que não usa mais a disciplina como forma de controle, mas consiste em uma sociedade do desempenho, onde os indivíduos não são mais ‘sujeitos da obediência’, ou seja, são empresários de si mesmos. Os muros utilizados no passado como forma de separação dos espaços entre o normal e o anormal, tornaram-se antiquados. A negatividade que exerce o domínio social é o verbo não-ter-o-direito, ou seja, a sociedade do desempenho se afasta e desvincula da negatividade. No lugar da proibição entra a positividade, o excesso de liberdade, a busca incessante pelo sucesso, entre outros que produzem indivíduos depressivos e fracassados. A partir desse ponto de vista que Han atribui que doenças como a depressão, o Transtorno do déficit de atenção com hiperatividade (TDAH), o Transtorno de personalidade limítrofe (TPL) ou a síndrome de burnout são as principais do retrato patológico do início do século XXI.O objetivo geral do trabalho foi realizar um levantamento bibliométrico sobre o TDAH, na base de dados Scopus®, relacionados a aprendizagem e fenomenologia. O objetivo específico, a partir do objetivo geral consistiu em realizar conexões fenomenológicas que sinalizam a aproximação do TDAH com os problemas da sociedade contemporânea com a aprendizagem. A busca global revelou a ocorrência de 18 trabalhos e a discussão dos resultados estão voltadas para comparação entre os textos selecionados com trabalhos publicados por pensadores da fenomenologia, com reflexões e identificações de fenômenos sobre o tema proposto.

Clarifying the relationship and analyzing the influential factors of bronchial asthma in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
Authors: Wang Gui-Xia , Xu Xiao-Ying , Wu Xi-Qing
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND

Bronchial asthma is closely related to the occurrence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, which can easily have adverse effects on children’s learning and social interactions. Studies have shown that childhood asthma can increase the risk of ADHD and the core symptoms of ADHD. Compared with children with ADHD alone, children with asthma and ADHD are more likely to show high levels of hyperactivity, hyperactive-impulsive and other externalizing behaviors and anxiety in clinical practice and have more symptoms of somatization and emotional internalization.

AIM

To explore the relationship between ADHD in children and bronchial asthma and to analyze its influencing factors.

METHODS

This retrospective cohort study was conducted at Dongying People's Hospital from September 2018 to August 2023. Children diagnosed with ADHD at this hospital were selected as the ADHD group, while healthy children without ADHD who underwent physical examinations during the same period served as the control group. Clinical and parental data were collected for all participating children, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to identify risk factors for comorbid asthma in children with ADHD.

RESULTS

Significant differences were detected between the ADHD group and the control group in terms of family history of asthma and allergic diseases, maternal complications during pregnancy, maternal use of asthma and allergy medications during pregnancy, maternal anxiety and depression during pregnancy, and parental relationship status (P < 0.05). Out of the 183 children in the ADHD group, 25 had comorbid asthma, resulting in a comorbidity rate of 13.66% (25/183), compared to the comorbidity rate of 2.91% (16/549) among the 549 children in the control group. The difference in the asthma comorbidity rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that family history of asthma and allergic diseases, maternal complications during pregnancy, maternal use of asthma and allergy medications during pregnancy, maternal anxiety and depression during pregnancy, and parental relationship status are independent risk factors increasing the risk of comorbid asthma in children with ADHD (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Children with ADHD were more likely to have comorbid asthma than healthy control children were. A family history of asthma, adverse maternal factors during pregnancy, and parental relationship status were identified as risk factors influencing the comorbidity of asthma in children with ADHD. Clinically, targeted interventions based on these factors can be implemented to reduce the risk of comorbid asthma.

Published: April 2024

Failure of a levee or dam breach can result in severe economic losses and loss of human life. To minimize these consequences, it's imperative to assess the risks associated with levee breaches. This involves accurately predicting the volume of water released during a breach and simulating the propagation of flood waves across the floodplain to create inundation maps. Despite extensive observation and research into representing dam breaches and deriving crucial breach parameters like width, height, and side slope, there is no universally accepted method for determining these parameters. This study aims to evaluate existing methodologies for dam breach analyses, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and the challenges that lie ahead in this field. Earthen dams play a crucial role in water resource management and flood control. However, breaches in these structures pose significant risks to surrounding communities and infrastructure. This study explores the causes of earthen dam breaches, focusing on hydraulic, geotechnical, and structural factors. Through a comprehensive analysis of historical case studies and numerical modeling techniques, we elucidate the underlying mechanisms leading to dam failures. Furthermore, this research investigates effective mitigation strategies to enhance the resilience of earthen dams against breach incidents. By identifying key vulnerabilities and implementing targeted interventions, we aim to minimize the likelihood and impact of future breaches, ensuring the safety and sustainability of earthen dam infrastructure.

Published: April 2024

Drones are ubiquitous today, serving various functions like delivery and surveillance. However, their prevalence also poses security risks; they can be misused for unauthorized surveillance or causing disturbances with their noise. To counter this, a system is needed to protect against drones trespassing into private property or restricted areas. Thus, we propose a drone-catching system capable of intercepting drones within a certain range. Our solution involves a drone catcher gun designed not only to shoot but also capture drones intact for further analysis. This allows for the retrieval of valuable evidence without destroying the drone. Powered by a compressed cylinder, the gun operates by releasing high-pressure air through pipes connected to a trigger-operated valve. A specially designed net with four cylindrical ends is deployed to ensnare the target. The net is propelled by cylindrical bullets fired through three hollow barrels to ensure accuracy. The barrels are engineered to enable the net to deploy at a specific angle upon firing. This lightweight and portable system can be mounted on the user's back, facilitating swift deployment to intercept and neutralize unauthorized drones.

This consists of GPS module, GPS Antenna, Arduino, ultrasonic sensor and buzzer. This stick can detect place and obstacles. The system employs a point-by-point approach to analyze the surrounding environment, providing real-time feedback to the user. Blind people consists of a large group of people in our society. Losing their eyesight has caused them inconvenience in performing daily tasks. Hence, smart cane had been developed in order to increase the life quality of a blind person. The purpose of this project is to design a smart cane with ultrasonic sensor and global system for mobile (GSM) for the blind. This embedded system mainly has mobility. For mobility system, it is equipped with ultrasonic sensor, HCSR04 and vibrating motor. Ultrasonic sensor will send the trigger pulse to detect obstacles. When an obstacle is detected, signals will be sent to vibrating motor and activate it. The vibrating motor will vibrate with different strengths according to the distance of the obstacle. The microcontroller used in this embedded system is Arduino UNO. The prototype of smart cane was built to increase the mobility of the blind people.

Published: April 2024

This research paper aims to provide a comparative study on the fiscal federalism of India and Canada. Both India and Canada have a federal form of government, but their fiscal federalism systems differ in many aspects. This paper analyzes the historical development, constitutional provisions, tax systems, revenue-sharing mechanisms, and challenges of fiscal federalism in India and Canada. The paper concludes that while both countries face challenges in fiscal federalism, Canada has a more established and effective system due to its focus on revenue sharing and cooperative federalism. This paper will examine the key features of Canada's fiscal federalism model and explore the lessons that can be drawn for India.
GENERATION OF ELECTRICITY FROM WASTE PAPERS AND PLASTIC

A waste-to-energy plant effectively addresses the dual challenges of waste management and energy production by converting waste materials, such as plastics and paper, into electricity. This project particularly targets the issue of waste management in Nigerian cities, where waste plastics pose significant environmental and health risks. Through the incineration of these materials, not only is waste volume drastically reduced by approximately 80-95%, but the process also generates a considerable amount of electricity. Employing a “Zaar box” for combustion, the heat generated converts water into steam, driving a turbine to produce electricity. This electricity is then stored in batteries for various uses, such as lighting bulbs, showcasing a live demonstration of energy production from waste. The study supports its viability with a detailed analysis of the energy potential of waste plastics, suggesting significant contributions to Nigeria’s energy supply and offering a sustainable solution to both waste surplus and power shortages The waste-to-energy project in Raj Shahi City utilizes everyday waste materials, such as plastics and paper, to generate electricity. The city produces approximately 3083 kg of waste daily, which is incinerated to produce around 12 MW of power, effectively reducing the frequency of load shedding in the area. This method not only provides a reliable source of energy but also significantly diminishes the volume of waste, reducing the need for landfill space by 80-95%.

Tolerancia a la frustración y su relación con la impulsividad en adolescentes
Authors: Curay Sinchiguano Anderson Stephen , Céspedes Guachamboza Danilo Alejandro
Published: April 2024

Introducción: La adolescencia es una etapa caracterizada por cambios físicos, psicológicos y sociales que marcan la transición a la edad adulta, los cuales demandan recursos internos como la tolerancia a la frustración cuya ausencia facilitaría la presencia de la impulsividad como a reaccionar rápidamente y de manera impredecible, siendo menester el desarrollo de un estudio que explique la relación entre dichas variables.

Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre la tolerancia a la frustración y la impulsividad.

Métodos: La metodología es cuantitativa, de tipo no experimental, con un alcance correlacional, de corte transversal. Se utilizaron los cuestionarios; la Escala de Tolerancia a la Frustración (ETF) y la Escala de Impulsividad de Barrat (BIS-11) en adolescentes de 12 a 17 años en la cuidad de Latacunga-Ecuador.

Resultados: Se encontró una correlación inversa (-0.451 p< .001) entre la tolerancia a la frustración y la impulsividad, además, se evidenció una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (-5.16(325); p<0,001), siendo los hombres quienes poseen mayor tolerancia a la frustración. Además, se observaron puntaciones bajas en impulsividad con la prevalencia de impulsividad motora.

Conclusiones: La tololerancia a la frustración y la impulsividad se relacionan negativamente, es decir, si existe mayor tolerancia a la frustración los adolescentes presentan menor impulsividad.
