Authors: KUMAR ASHWANI , SAINI NARINDER S , MOHINDROO JITENDER , SOOD NARESH K
Published: January 2024

The present study was conducted on 6 clinically healthy bovine and 55 adult female bovine (29 cows and 26 buffaloes) suffering from pericarditis. Ultrasonographic examination was performed from both right and left sides with convex or microconvex multifrequency (3.5 or 5.0 MHz) transducer in standing position. The pericardial effusions were seen from both right and left sides of heart at fourth and fifth ICS. Pericardial effusions were anechoic to hypoechoic with or without fibrin deposition in the pericardial sac in 74.6% animals or had a uniform echogenic texture in 25.4% animals suggestive of pus. Hepatic ultrasonography revealed congestion and marked hepatomegaly characterized by round liver margins. Caudal vena cava appeared persistently round and dilated. Portal vein was also dilated. Gall bladder was displaced with edematous and double walled appearance. Histopathology of ultrasound guided biopsy (USGB) and ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (USG-FNAB) samples confirmed sinusoidal dilatation in all the animals along with chronic cholangiohepatitis, amyloidosis or chronic sepsis, purulent hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis and fatty liver. In conclusion ultrasonography is a reliable technique to describe nature and severity of the pericardial effusions to assess prognosis and outcome of the case.

Published: January 2024

The study was conducted on 16 apparently healthy adult dogs of either sex, randomly divided into 4 groups, each containing 4 animals. Animals of group A received dexmedetomidine (20 µg/kg) alone. Midazolam (0.2 mg/kg), fentanyl (4 µg/kg) + midazolam (0.2 mg/kg) and ketamine (10 mg/kg) + fentanyl (4 µg/kg) + midazolam (0.2 mg/kg) were administered along with dexmedetomidine (20 µg/kg) in the animals of groups B, C and D, respectively. All the drugs were given simultaneously by intramuscular route. Differential leucocytic count, plasma glucose, insulin and cortisol were measured at baseline (0 min) and at 30, 60 and 120 min after the drug administration. Neutrophilia was observed only for a very short period. Plasma insulin levels significantly decreased whereas a significant increase in the plasma glucose towards the end of the study period was observed except in group C in which it decreased. Cortisol levels were nonsignificantly lower than the base values throughout the study in all the groups. It could be concluded that dexmedetomidine and its combinations with midazolam, fentanyl and ketamine do not threaten homeostasis and can obtund the stress response associated with handling and anaesthetic procedures in dogs.

Published: January 2024

Studies were conducted to ascertain the effect of organic and inorganic forms of oral zinc supplementation on the histoenzymology of the testis in Assam goats of 3 to 7 months of age. It revealed that the histoenzymic activity of different tissue enzymes like LDH, MDH, D5-3 ß- hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17-ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in the Leydig cells of the testis increased with advancing age in all the groups, but comparatively higher activities of this enzyme were observed in the zinc-supplemented groups than that of control.
Biometric and ultrasonographic evaluation on mammary gland of goat
Authors: KUMAR VIPUL , BANSAL NEELAM , UPPAL VARINDER , GUPTA ANURADHA
Published: January 2024

Gross and ultrasonographic studies were conducted on the mammary gland of goat (n=18 for each study) during pre-pubertal, lactating and non-lactating stages. Mammary gland was located into the inguinal region and divided into two halves by mammary groove which was prominent during lactation stage. Each halve had separate glandular body and conical teat divisible into tip, mid and base regions. The mammary gland contained numerous lactiferous ducts which opened into the gland sinus that continued distally as teat sinus and teat canal. The gland sinus and teat sinus were separated from each other by annular folds, which were more prominent in lactating animals. At the junction of teat sinus and teat canal, small mucosal elevation was observed as Furstenberg’s rosette. Teat wall was lined by skin, teat internal mucosal layer and teat sinus from outside to inside. Ultrasonographic observations showed that the lactating mammary gland contained an echogenic structure of variable size indicating gland sinus, lactiferous ducts, blood vessels, glandular parenchyma, while the homogenous echogenic component depicting more connective tissue stroma in non-lactating and pre-pubertal goat. The teat wall was made up of innermost hyperechogenic layer (teat mucosa), middle hypoechogenic (fibromuscular) layer and mild hyperechogenic teat skin. Teat sinus was anechogenic, however teat canal was demarcated by hyperechogenic streak. Biometrical and ultrasonographic observations were recorded on teat canal length, maximum diameter of teat, maximum teat wall thickness. Present study showed that there was no significant difference in biometric and ultrasonographic measurements of goat teat. Therefore, it may be concluded that the gross and ultrasonographic observations may be used to diagnose any abnormality in the udder during clinical examination.
Las nuevas tesis sobre el fin del trabajo ante la emergencia de las Inteligencias Artificiales
Authors: Fernández Malváez José de Jesús , Granados Valdéz Juan
Published: January 2024

Actualmente hay controversia entre quienes, por un lado, ven en las Inteligencias Artificiales (IA) un campo que potenciará el trabajo y el desarrollo social y humano hasta las estrellas; y, por otro lado, quienes advierten en esto una posible catástrofe humana. Lo seguro es que las IA van a modificar nuestros paradigmas sociales y culturales y cambiará, al menos, nuestra comprensión del trabajo. Este trabajo es un ejercicio reflexivo en el que se exponen algunas posibilidades, derivadas a partir de reflexiones e impresiones personales sobre los nuevos debates y realidades en ciernes en torno a las IA y su gradual influencia en el mundo del trabajo.
Historical demography of Trichothraupis melanops (Aves: Thraupidae) and the Pleistocene Atlantic Forest biogeography
Authors: Turner Andrea Agustina , Trujillo-Arias Natalia , Cabanne Gustavo Sebastián
Published: January 2024

The climatic cycles of the Pleistocene affected the distribution of the vegetation of different biomes, determining the distribution and evolution of the associated fauna. Many studies of Atlantic Forest (AF) organisms suggest that the Pleistocene glacial and interglacial cycles have produced demographically stable populations in the forest’s central region and unstable populations in its southern regions (known as the Carnaval-Moritz model). We studied the phylogeographic structure of an AF passerine, the Black-goggled Tanager (Trichothraupis melanops, Thraupidae) and evaluated questions related to the history of the AF. We analyzed three independent genes, two nuclear and one mitochondrial, using population genetic methods based on summary statistics and traditional phylogeographic methods. Our results suggest that T. melanops shares phylogeographic features with other AF taxa. Even though an effective population size gradient was found between the central and southern populations, which is in agreement with the results of other phylogeographic studies and the forest refugia model (the Carnaval-Moritz model), there is no evidence of a gradient of genetic diversity. In addition, we have found that T. melanops populations show the demographic dynamics expected according to the Carnaval-Moritz model: the inland-southern population was found to be the one with the greatest signs of recent demographic expansion, compared to the central and coastal-southern populations. Although this species is ecologically generalist and not very sensitive to forest fragmentation and degradation, it has been impacted by the historical dynamism of the AF.
Un enfoque basado en el aprendizaje automático para el diagnóstico urgente de envenenamiento en situaciones de emergencia

Published: January 2024

Ante la magnitud de casos de intoxicación aguda, ya sea accidental o intencionada, que requieren admisión en los servicios de emergencia, la integración del enfoque in silico en el proceso de diagnóstico, pronóstico y tratamiento es de suma importancia. Este enfoque, centrado en la inteligencia artificial (IA), se basa en la predicción a partir de datos clínicos significativos, apoyando así a los profesionales y ayudándoles a identificar las sustancias tóxicas más probables. El objetivo es realizar una predicción antes de la etapa de confirmación, que a menudo requiere investigaciones biológicas y toxicológicas costosas y que llevan tiempo. Con esto en mente, nuestro trabajo se enfoca en el desarrollo de un algoritmo de Machine Learning (ML) capaz de predecir el agente tóxico causante, proporcionando información esencial sobre los signos clínicos predominantes. Aunque muchos estudios en la literatura han abordado el uso de la tecnología y la inteligencia artificial en el diagnóstico, monitoreo y farmacología, no encontramos publicaciones relacionadas con el uso de la inteligencia artificial en el diagnóstico o el apoyo al diagnóstico de casos de intoxicación. Esta innovación constituirá, por lo tanto, el punto fuerte de nuestro trabajo de investigación. Nuestro algoritmo de machine learning se basa en un proceso de predicción que se basa en el análisis exhaustivo de datos clínicos proporcionados por el examen clínico del paciente tan pronto como llega a la sala de emergencias. Al tener en cuenta un conjunto de parámetros como los síntomas presentes, el historial médico y las circunstancias que rodean la exposición, el modelo puede establecer vínculos relevantes entre los signos clínicos y los posibles agentes tóxicos. Al enfatizar la velocidad y precisión de la predicción, al tiempo que reconoce la importancia crucial de los análisis biológicos y toxicológicos para confirmar diagnósticos, nuestro enfoque tiene el potencial de optimizar la gestión clínica al dirigir al médico hacia medidas apropiadas más rápidamente. Como herramienta de apoyo a la toma de decisiones, ofrece una evaluación predictiva inicial relevante desde la admisión del paciente.
Exploring the factorial impacts on the labor market and social protection in the context of the national objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy
Authors:   Economic Research Institute at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Kirova Alla
Published: January 2024

In September 2017, the new book by Prof. Dr. Vasil Tsanov, Prof. Dr. Georgi Shopov, Prof. Dr. Iskra Beleva and Prof. Dr. Yordan Christoskov - an established team of authors from the Institute of Economic Research at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, well known for their professional expertise - was published. The monograph is a logical continuation of the earlier publication "The Labour Market and Social Protection in the Economic Development of Bulgaria (1990-2011)", thus the two works cover nearly 30 years of the history of the development of the researched areas - the subject of constant public attention and interest. In the introduction, the authors provide a reasoned motivation for the chosen topic, which is related to the radical changes in the state of the labour market, labour income and the social security system that occurred during the last global financial and economic crisis and in the post-crisis period, as well as to the need in this unfavourable situation to meet Bulgaria's national objectives, developed and adopted in accordance with the EU's Europe 2020 Strategy.
The European company – an efficient instrument of cross-border cohesion
Authors:   Economic Research Institute at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Rangelova Rossitsa
Published: January 2024

The dynamic development of the integration processes between the EU countries in the new economic and social realities necessitate the removal of trade barriers and the deepening of economic democracy. These conditions give rise to the need for the formation of a new type of legal-organisational entities. Such a structure is the European Company (EC), which is also referred to as the European Public Limited Company or by the Latin name Societas Europaea (SE).

In this context, the collective monograph of Assoc. Miroslava Peicheva, Assoc. Albena Miteva. It is based on a successfully implemented project, the subject of which is the social audit and standards for social and environmental responsibility. A significant advantage of the study is its scope: individuals (482 users); employers (461 legal entities); representatives of the public administration (83 managers and experts); representatives of trade unions (KNSB and CT "Podkrepa" - five experts in total), which ensures the tracking of the needs and requirements of all stakeholders. The survey was carried out using a survey method (closed questions).
Two monographs on economic theory in the world and in Bulgaria
Authors:   Economic Research Institute аt the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Todorov Vasil
Published: January 2024

In 2011 Prof. Dr. Zoya Mladenova published a major monograph on the state and development of neoclassical theory in the world in the twentieth and early twenty-first century. Her second monograph, on the "paradigm shift" (transition) in economic theory in Bulgaria in the years after 1989, has recently been published. The two editions are thematically linked: the first is about the dominant theory in the world, the second - about the transition to it in Bulgaria. In this sense, both in terms of content and in terms of the author's conception (see p. 13 of the first monograph and pp. 3-4 of the second), the two monographs can be seen as a comprehensive study published in two volumes on issues in the history and state of economic theory in Bulgaria and in the world. There is no similar two-volume edition in the Bulgarian literature.
STUDY ON THE TROPICAL-STORM-GENERATED WAVE FIELD ON THE SEA AREA AROUND LY SON ISLAND
Authors:   Le Quy Don Technical University, Hanoi, Vietnam, Le Van Tu
Published: January 2024

Ly Son is a frontline island of our country that is often affected by adverse weather conditions such as monsoons or tropical storms. Studying the hydraulic parameters of tropical storms, including the storm's wave field, to determine extreme conditions plays an important role in forecasting, planning and construction of hydraulic works. The author uses the two-dimensional wave propagation model MIKE 21 SW to simulate the wave field of Molave storm 2020 in Ly Son sea. The results show a good agreement between the values obtained from the model and the actual measurements at Ly Son station. Based on the results obtained, the author proposes a method to simulate storm wave fields that is relatively accurate and effective. In particular, current standards based on wind speed and wind fetch still have many limitations. This is valuable in the actual design and planning of hydraulic works.
Poljička pučka
misa (1983.) Borisa Papandopula
Authors: Lučev Jelena
Published: January 2024

Poljička pučka misa Borisa Papandopula skladana je 1983. godine (prije točno 40 godina) u čast sv. Bogdana Leopolda Mandića, na liturgijski tekst iz ordinarija mise na hrvatskom jeziku. Ono »poljičko« i »pučko« u samom nazivu ostvareno je u reminiscencijama na poljičku liturgijsku glazbenu baštinu i implementirano u kompleksni Papandopulov glazbeni izričaj. U radu je sažeto prikazana forma Poljičke pučke mise u odnosu na liturgijski tekst i istaknuta su važnija obilježja njezina glazbenoga jezika s naglaskom na harmoniju i oblikovanje višeglasnoga sloga. Misa ima šest stavaka: Gospodine, Slava, Vjerujem, Svet, Blagoslovljen i Jaganjče Božji. Svaki stavak izgrađen je od nekoliko velikih formalnih cjelina, uglavnom uvjetovanih teološkom podjelom tekstualnog predloška, koje su oblikovane nadovezivanjem manjih elemenata, kao što su rečenice, fraze, motivi i figure. Njihovim lančanim povezivanjima, kao i ispreplitanjima vokalnih i instrumentalnih rečenica postiže se jedinstvo i neraskidivost većih formalnih cjelina. Ciklično povezivanje stavka ostvareno je pomoću sloga, harmonije, ponavljanja dijelova i variranja osnovnih glazbeni misli. Skladajući »u duhu« poljičke crkvene glazbe, prepoznatljiv zvuk postiže se čestim promjenama sloga između klasične četveroglasne harmonije, melodijskih odebljanja i različitih oblika pučkoga dvoglasnoga i troglasnoga sloga. Osim tercnih i oktavnih, učestalo se koriste i druge vrste odebljanja vodeće melodijske linije, iz čega proizlaze kvintno-kvartna suzvučja, harmonijski sklopovi tercnih akorda, kao i biakordi. Osebujno formalno oblikovanje, tonalitetna nestabilnost i neodređenost, politonalitet, modalitet, medijantika, novobarokna motoričnost proizašla iz mozaičnog slaganja manjih oblikotvornih cjelina, njegovanje tekstne akcentuacije, primat horizontalne nad vertikalnom komponentom te razni vidovi melodijskih odebljanja, svjedoče o vještoj sintezi suvremenih nastojanja europske glazbe 20. stoljeća i lakoće narodnoga melosa. Misa je, kao što je i sȃm skladatelj rekao nakon premijerne izvedbe djela 1984. godine, za puk možda prezahtjevna, ali zasigurno spada u jedno od istaknutijih skladateljevih djela.
O glazbenom životu otoka Silbe – crkveno i pučko pjevanje
Authors: Boškovič Ivan
Published: January 2024

Glazbeni život otoka Silbe je tijekom posljednjih stotinjak godina privukao pozornost više domaćih stručnjaka: etnologa, folklorista, glazbenika, književnika i povjesničara. Ipak, brojne pojedinosti još uvijek su nedovoljno, pa čak i u potpunosti neistražene. Tijekom dosadašnjih istraživanja prikupljena je i sređena građa na osnovi koje je moguće barem donekle proniknuti u taj dio povijesti najsjevernijeg otoka zadarskog arhipelaga. No, kako je u dosad objavljenim radovima iscrpnije prikazan tek plesni život Silbe te su obrađena i glazbala za koja se sa sigurnošću moglo ustvrditi da su se na tom otoku koristila, težište daljnjih istraživanja je potrebno usmjeriti na povijest pjevanja jer na temelju dostupnih arhivskih podataka, kao i na temelju objavljenih, ali i naknadno prikupljenih podataka, još uvijek nije moguće dati iscrpniji prikaz tog dijela glazbene povijesti otoka Silbe. Pritom treba imati na umu i činjenicu da je u do sada objavljenim radovima o silbenskom glazbenom životu izvršena analiza plesnih koraka svih pet sačuvanih starih silbenskih plesova, ali i da nije provedena analiza priloženih notnih primjera i tekstova pjesama koje su se na Silbi pjevale, stoga bi to trebao biti jedan od prvih koraka u daljnjim istraživanjima povijesti glazbe tog otoka.
Vom Maschinenraum zum Computerraum. Computernutzung an allgemeinbildenden Schulen bis 1990 am Beispiel Nordrhein-Westfalens
Authors: Schibgilla Sven
Published: January 2024

Der Beitrag untersucht die frühe Computernutzung an allgemeinbildenden Schulen Deutschlands am Beispiel Nordrhein-Westfalens bis in die frühen 1990er Jahre. Der Artikel basiert auf Gewerkschaftszeitschriften und Schulfachzeitschriften, die sich zu Diskussions- und Austauschmedien von schulischen Nutzer*innen entwickelten, sowie kommunalpolitischem und kultusministeriellem Archivgut. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Computertechnologie entgegen des in der Öffentlichkeit gegenwärtig gängigen Narrativs der verschlafenen Digitalisierung allgemeinbildende Schulen in unterrichtlichen und verwaltungsbezogenen Bereichen schon früh erreichte und diese vor Fragen der Unterbringung, der Nutzung und Verwendungsweisen stellte. Mit einem Fokus auf die räumliche Platzierung des Computers werden Aushandlungsprozesse und das Ausprobieren der Akteure verdeutlicht, um aufzuzeigen, wie Nutzungspraktiken den Computer zum schulischen Universalgerät machten. Im Zentrum stehen dabei nicht bildungspolitische Steuerungsversuche, sondern die konkrete schulische Nutzungsebene mit Praktiken der Computernutzung in Unterricht und schulinterner Verwaltungsarbeit.

Dies nicht ohne Grund: Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass die Computernutzung durch schulische Akteure an nordrhein-westfälischen Schulen oft schneller war als kultusministerielle Steuerungsversuche. Dabei traten Computer in den späten 1960er Jahren zunächst in der schulinternen Verwaltungsarbeit zur Berechnung von Stundenplänen auf. Es folgten Pläne zur Entwicklung von Schulinformationssystemen, die sämtliche Informationen der schulischen Akteure speichern sollten. Zunächst in freieren Settings wie Arbeitsgemeinschaften und später in Schulversuchen wurde der im Maschinenraum untergebrachte Computer dann in den 1970er Jahren erstmals auch für den Unterricht verwendet, ehe er aufgrund eines neuen Schulfachs in den 1980er Jahren erst im Informatikraum und schließlich aufgrund der erweiterten Nutzung im Computerraum untergebracht wurde.
Das Luxemburger Telefonsystem. Auf welche Arten wir großtechnische Systeme reparieren und instandhalten
Authors: Mossop Rebecca
Published: January 2024

Die Geschichte großtechnischer Systeme fokussierte sich lange Zeit auf das Entstehen und den Aufbau solcher Infrastrukturen, während ihre Wartung und Reparatur wenig Berücksichtigung fanden. In den Science and Technology Studies wurden zwar Reparatur und Wartung von Infrastrukturen thematisiert, aber es ging dabei meist um die Stabilisierung eines vermeintlichen Augangszustands, sowie die dazu erforderliche, im Hintergrund stattfindende ‚invisible work‘ des Reparierens. Der folgende Beitrag zeigt anhand des Luxemburger Telefonsystems, dass ein erweiterter Reparaturbegriff sich auch auf die Funktionalität und Funktionsbeschreibung einer Infrastruktur erstreckt. In erster Linie geht es dabei um die Frage, wie viel Kapazität das Telefonnetz zur Verfügung stellen sollte, um den Bedürfnissen der Nutzer zu entsprechen. Die Reparatur der als zu gering erachteten Kapazität für Hausanschlüsse und Vermittlungsstellen bevorzugte den Einsatz neuer Techniken, die eine rasche Abhilfe der Engpässe versprachen. Die Reparatur der Kapazität stabilisierte so nicht einen Ausgangszustand, sondern veränderte die Nutzungsweise und die Struktur des Netzes: So führte beispielsweise die Automatisierung der Vermittlung zu einer Veränderung des Wahlvorgangs sowie zur Dezentralisierung des Netzaufbaus.
Künftig „Open Bar“ dank EuGH? Zur Kontrolle des anwaltsrechtlichen Fremdbesitzverbotes anhand der Grundfreiheiten
Authors: Gerhold Maximilian , Lauenstein Jytte
Published: January 2024

Das anwaltsrechtliche Fremdbesitzverbot ist für die einen eine bedeutende Bastion vor der „Kommerzialisierung“ des Berufes, für die anderen lästiges Innovationshindernis, etwa bei der Entwicklung von Legal-Tech-Angeboten. Ein jüngst ergangenes Vorabentscheidungsersuchen des Bayerischen Anwaltsgerichtshofs (BayAGH), der das deutsche anwaltsrechtliche Beteiligungsverbot für unvereinbar mit der Kapitalverkehrsfreiheit hält, hat die Diskussion innerhalb des Standes und der Politik erneut belebt. Der Beitrag ordnet die Debatte in den Kontext der facettenreichen Rechtsprechung des EuGH zu anderen reglementierten Berufen ein. Für Rechtsanwälte dürfte das Verbot der Kapitalbeteiligung Berufsfremder mit Unionsrecht vereinbar sein.

Nostalgie oder der flüchtige Duft der Heimat
Authors: Schmidt Stefan W.
Published: January 2024

Heimstätten sind Orte, an denen die Welt vertraut wird. Erst an bestimmten Orten wird Heimat konkret, und da diese Orte steter Veränderung unterworfen sind, sind auch unsere Heimstätten vom Verlust bedroht. Die Nostalgie stützt sich wesentlich auf das Gedächtnis. Doch das Gedächtnis dient dabei weder der Orientierung in der Gegenwart noch der Planung der Zukunft, sondern wird ganz von der Vergangenheit vereinnahmt. Der Nostalgiker verliert die Fähigkeit, seine Zukunft an einem Ort zu gestalten. Er wird zum imaginativen Spurenleser vergangener Heimstätten. Dazu bedient er sich nicht nur episodischer Erinnerungen an Erlebnisse, sondern auch des Leibgedächtnisses, das jene Spuren beinhaltet, die vergangene Orte in unseren Körpern hinterlassen haben.
Den Blick erwidern
Authors: Nixon Christopher A.
Published: January 2024

Menschen in ihrem unverfügbaren Anderssein anzuerkennen, bedeutet, zu begehren und die Grenzen unseres Verstehens zu akzeptieren. Dazu befähigen uns ästhetische Objekte, denn sie bleiben etwas Rätselhaftes, dem mit Worten nicht beizukommen ist. Sie erschüttern. Den Blick erwidern erneuert die im philosophischen Gegenwartsdiskurs vernachlässigte Ästhetik als die genuine Disziplin von Kunst, Gesellschaft und Politik. Anhand des zentralen Begriffes der Epiphanie zeigt diese interdisziplinäre Arbeit, dass ästhetische Objekte, die erschüttern, eine anerkennende Form des Verstehens und eine Haltung ermöglichen, die eine vielfältige solidarische Gesellschaft begründen kann. Die durch Migration und Flucht geprägte postkoloniale Welt benötigt im besonderen Maße transformative ästhetische Erfahrungen, wenn eine bessere Welt und Praxis kein Traum bleiben sollen.
Asymmetry in force production between unilateral and bilateral standing broad jumps in young senior amateur basketball players

Published: January 2024

The main aim of this study was to assess the between-session reliability of performance and asymmetry variables between unilateral and bilateral standing broad jumps (SBJ). Twenty-four amateur basketball players completed two identical sessions which consisted of four unilateral SBJs (two with each leg) and two bilateral SBJs. Mean and peak values of force, velocity and power, and impulse were obtained separately for each leg using a dual force platform. Inter-limb asymmetries were computed using the standard percentage difference for the unilateral SBJ, and the bilateral asymmetry index-1 for the bilateral SBJ. All performance variables generally presented an acceptable absolute reliability for both SBJs with some exceptions for mean force, mean power, and peak power obtained with both legs. Asymmetry variables always showed unacceptable reliability and slight to fair levels of agreement in their direction except for unilateral SBJ peak velocity and bilateral SBJ peak power that showed moderate agreement for both SBJs. These results highlight that single-leg performance variables can be generally obtained with acceptable reliability regardless of the SBJ variant, but the reliability of the inter-limb asymmetries in the conditions examined in the present study is unacceptable to track individual changes in ground reaction force production.

El objetivo principal de este estudio fue evaluar la confiabilidad entre sesiones de variables de desempeño y asimetría entre saltos horizontales de pie unilaterales y bilaterales (SBJ). Veinticuatro jugadores de baloncesto amateur completaron dos sesiones idénticas que consistieron en cuatro SBJ unilaterales (dos con cada pierna) y dos SBJ bilaterales. Los valores medios y máximos de fuerza, velocidad y potencia e impulso se obtuvieron por separado para cada pierna utilizando dos plataformas de fuerza. Las asimetrías entre miembros se calcularon utilizando la diferencia porcentual estándar para la SBJ unilateral, y el índice de asimetría bilateral-1 para la SBJ bilateral. Todas las variables de rendimiento generalmente presentaron una fiabilidad absoluta aceptable para ambos SBJs, con algunas excepciones para la fuerza media, la potencia media y la potencia máxima obtenida con ambas piernas. Las variables asimétricas siempre mostraron una fiabilidad inaceptable tanto en magnitud como en dirección. Estos resultados ponen de manifiesto que las variables de rendimiento de una sola pierna se pueden obtener generalmente con fiabilidad aceptable independientemente de la variante SBJ, pero debido al cambio de dirección de la asimetrías entre sesiones, la fiabilidad de la ínter-asimetrías de las extremidades en las condiciones examinadas en el presente estudio son inaceptables para seguir los cambios individuales en la producción de fuerzas de reacción.
Norbornene-chitosan spray-dried microspheres for peptide conjugation using thiol-ene “photoclick” chemistry
Authors: Alves Pedro M , Fonseca Diana R , Pereira Rúben F , Estevinho Berta N , Teixeira Cátia , Gomes Paula , L Martins M Cristina
Published: January 2024

The action of bioactive peptides, such as antimicrobial peptides (AMP), in the human body is often compromised by limited residence time and stability in the target site. Bioconjugation of peptides to biomaterial surfaces is one of the strategies that may overcome these limitations. Herein, norbornene-chitosan (NorChit) microspheres were engineered to react with thiolated peptides by thiol-ene “photoclick” chemistry. NorChit microspheres were produced by spray drying and crosslinked with dithiothreitol (DTT) to prevent their solubilization. Microspheres with a diameter of 5 ± 2 µm showed round and smooth morphology with pockets over the surface that could be related with hydrophobic interactions between internal norbornene groups. Thiol-ene bioconjugation carried out using a fluorescent model peptide, showed a yield of 45%, whereas using the peptide but without UV exposure indicated a maximum of peptide adsorption of 30%. Altogether, NorChit microspheres show the potential for carrying bioactive peptides, which may open avenues for AMP activity onto harsh environments in the body.

Access to relevant information is crucial for Art and Design students to meet their information needs and achieve their educational goals. This paper explores the information-seeking strategies used by Art and Design students in diplomaawarding institutions in Uganda, and the challenges they encounter when seeking information to meet their information needs. This is part of a doctoral study that investigated the information-seeking behaviour of Art and Design students in diploma-awarding institutions in Uganda. The study population comprised Art and Design students in the four Art and Design institutions, library heads in the same institutions, and directors at the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE). Data was collected using questionnaire, interview and observation methods. Data was collected from February to August 2022. The study revealed that Art and Design students use various information-seeking strategies to locate and access information. Browsing online images, photographing activities in the environment, recording videos of activities in the environment, and consulting Art and Design librarians were the most used. The least used strategies included browsing art and design collections on library shelves, using keywords, and using Boolean operators. The study found that Art and Design students encountered varied challenges when seeking information. The key challenges were lack of Internet at the institutions, inadequate and outdated information materials in the library, slow Internet, high cost of Internet data, and lack or inadequate knowledge to evaluate the quality of information on the Internet. The key recommendations included the need for Art and Design institutions to invest heavily in ICT infrastructure, including Internet connectivity, and also to develop information literacy courses for the students; the need for the NCHE prioritise monitoring of the study institutions to ensure compliance with library standards; and the need for the Government of Uganda zero-rate the Internet in the study institutions.
