Published: November 2024

This study aimed to determine the effects of dietary inclusion of 100 g/kg and 200 g/kgpurslane meal on yolk Ï‰-3 fatty acids content, egg quality and productive performance in Rhode Island Red laying hens. Sixty-four hens of 30 weeks of age, with an average body weight of 2100 g, were randomly allocated into four treatments: 0 g/kg (negative control), 100 g/kg and 200 g/kg purslane meal, and 14.7 g/kgflaxseed oil (positive control) in the diet. Hens were housed in cages equipped with individual feeders and drinking troughs. They received food and water ad libitum and 18 h of light during 56 days. The inclusion of 200 g/kg purslane and 14.7 g/kgflaxseed oil in laying hens diet showed higher (P < 0.05) content of Ï‰-3 fatty acids (Î±-linolenic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) in egg-yolks compared with those of the groups that received 0 and 100 g/kg purslane. Treatments did not influence (P>0.05) parameters of egg quality such as egg longitudinal and transverse diameter, albumin and yolk diameter, yolk height, and yolk weight. Hens that received 200 g/kg purslane in their diet increased (P < 0.05) feed intake, egg production, egg mass, and feed conversion compared with those fed with the negative control. It was concluded that the dietary inclusion of both 100 g/kg and 200 g/kg purslane increases yolk Ï‰-3 fatty acids content without any adverse effect on egg quality traits and productive performance of Rhode Island Red hens.

The lack of efficient sampling techniques for the study of linear vegetation remnants in the Mexican tropics anthropised areas was the main premise for this research, in order to determine the diversity, richness and vegetation structure of rural landscapes according to its conservation value through efficient and representative linear sampling techniques. The biological characterization of plants was performed in an area of 4,096 m2, in eight components of the landscape, a total of 2260 ha. The vegetation consists of 144 species, 127 genera and 51 families. These were distributed at herbs 71.26%, shrubs 22.80%, trees 3.49%, and vines 2.45%. High values of diversity and richness were found in hedgerows, stream shore, shore road, scrub and citrus growing. It is suggested to give priority to the conservation of stream bank that protects species such as Cedrela odorata and Sapium macrocarpum. The efficiency and representativeness of the sample was 95% through rarefaction given by the best fit of Chao 1 and ACE, highly significant linear correlation between true diversity and richness of species, and the high value of spare.

Published: November 2024

The objective of this study was to evaluate the control of weeds in the rows of eucalyptus (Eucalyptus urograndis) with herbicides applied singly or combined with boron (B), as well as, the response of Eucalyptus plants to this micronutrient. The experiments were carried out in a split-plot with randomized complete block design, with three replicates. Six treatments were applied to the plots: (i) weeded control, (ii) control without weeding, (iii) glyphosate (1080 g ae ha-1) + chlorimuron-ethyl (10 g ai ha-1) + 0.05% v / v mineral oil, (iv) glyphosate (1080 g ae  ha-1) + isoxaflutole (112.5 g ai ha-1),  (v) glyphosate (1080 g ae ha-1) and  (vi) oxyfluorfen (480 g ai ha-1). The sub-plots consisted of the absence or presence of 4 kg of boric acid (H3BO3 - 17% B) in 100 L of water. The addition of boric acid in the solution containing the herbicides did not affect the weed control. There was an increase in boron content in the soil and consequently an increase in the boron levels in the eucalyptus leaves. The combined application of herbicides plus boric acid is perfectly suitable for preventing dry of the pointer on eucalyptus plants.

Published: November 2024

The study was conducted to estimate the nutritive value of six indigenous browse fodders (Etanda africana, Piliostigma thonningii, Detarium microcarpum, Daniellia oliveri, Pterocarpus erinaceus, and Afzelia africana) by the evaluation of chemical composition, anti-nutritional factors and in vitro gas characteristics. All samples (g/100g DM) had high CP (12.6–24.7), moderate ﬁbre concentrations (NDF, 34.7–54.6; ADF, 19.7–35.2 and lignin, 7.36–12). There were significant differences (P < 0.05) in NDF, ash, ether extract, hemicellulose, cellulose and mineral concentrations among the browse fodders. Except for condensed tannins which were similar among the browse fodders, other anti-nutritional factors were different (P < 0.05). The relative feed values of the selected legume browses ranged from 114.43 in E. africana to 202.94 in A. africana. Gas volume (ml/200mg DM), methane (ml/200mg DM), methane/total gas volume (v:v), metabolisable energy (MJ/kg DM), organic matter digestibility (%), short chain fatty acids (μmol) and in vitro dry matter degradability ( %) ranged from 19-34, 8.66-11.33, 0.29-0.46, 4.53-6.48, 35.73-49.06, 0.15-0.43 and 46-67 respectively. Results show that the browse species have good nutrient profile, low and safe levels of anti-nutritional factors and relatively high degradability which qualify them as suitable feed supplements to low quality basal diets for ruminants.

Published: November 2024

This is the first report on grassland primary productivity for the wildlife protected area Nevado de Toluca (APFF Nevado de Toluca). We evaluated three communities in this area during dry season: Loma Alta, La Peñuela y Agua Blanca. Following Hodgson (1994), for this study we used exclusion cages. Vegetation was cut every 28 days during a five months sampling period. A randomized block design was used, where the blocks represented the grassland communities and the different months constituted treatments. The month of September showed the higher production (610.3 kg/ha DM). No significant differences were observed among communities (P >0.05). In conclusion, these communities have similar low primary productivity through the evaluation dry season months, which in addition was found lower in comparison to other areas, therefore livestock grazing in this region should be limited this season.

In the intensive pig production in the state of Yucatan, 62 biodigesters were installed in the last 10 years. However, the complexities of the anaerobic biodigestion enclose difficulties to reach the expected efficiency. The objective of the present study was to determine the removal efficiency of the organic matter in pig slurry using biodigesters in the state of Yucatan. There were visited 15 pig farms in the state of Yucatan to interview the farmer about the management of the farm and the waste disposal and to take samples of the influent of the collector of the pig slurry and the effluent of the biodigestor and evaluating the samples by laboratory analysis. The removal values found in the present study were 7 percentage points below the reference value of total volatile solids, which represent the organic matter fraction of the solids treated in the biodigestor. More than the 50 % of the farms evaluated were similar or higher than the parameters of reference. The removal efficiency of the organic matter in the pig slurry by biodigesters in the state of Yucatan is close to the reference values. However complementary treatments are necessary to continue the waste slurry treatment.

Published: November 2024

Currently, there is a great concern for the greenhouse gas emissions and their contribution to global warming. Ruminants contribute to the emission of these gases through the production of enteric methane, a gas whose warming potential is 21 times higher than CO2, and is considered an energy loss for the animal. The use of antibiotics have been helpful in reducing ruminal methanogenesis, however, the use of these compounds have been banned in some countries, in addition, current market requirements are aimed at obtaining healthy animal products with low environmental impact. A natural mitigation alternative that is gaining attention in animal nutrition is the use of plant secondary metabolites. Several studies have demonstrated the ability of certain compounds to reduce methanogenesis through different modes of action. The present review will describe in detail the characteristic of the most studied secondary metabolites that have been shown to reduce enteric methane production and their effects on fermentation parameters. Finally, it is highlights the need to identify new compounds and methodological aspects to consider are suggested.

Authors: Quilligana Katherine , Sevilla María
Published: November 2024

El presente estudio analiza cómo las mujeres políticas en Ecuador utilizan Instagram para redefinir su rol en la política. La investigación se enfocó en cinco figuras femeninas: Diana Atamaint, Cynthia Viteri, Paola Pabón, Verónica Abad y Lavinia Valbonesi, evaluando sus publicaciones mediante la herramienta FanPage Karma. El análisis abarcó variables como la frecuencia de publicación, el tipo de contenido compartido (imágenes, carruseles y reels) y el nivel de interacciones generadas por cada publicación. Se utilizó un enfoque cuantitativo para examinar la relación entre estos tipos de contenido y el compromiso de los seguidores. Los resultados evidencian que los formatos interactivos como los reels y carruseles generan niveles más altos de interacción en comparación con imágenes estáticas. Además, la frecuencia de publicación no garantiza un crecimiento en el número de seguidores, aunque sí influye en el nivel de interacción. Las mujeres políticas que implementaron estrategias digitales efectivas lograron aumentar su visibilidad y fortalecer su impacto en la política digital. Las redes sociales, en particular Instagram, se configuran como una herramienta clave para que las mujeres amplifiquen sus voces y redefinen su participación en la política ecuatoriana.

… but Life gives Spirit?
Authors: Kjølstad Marius Mikkel
Published: November 2024

This book is a comparative study of the development of constitutional legal thought in Germany and the Unit-ed States at the beginning of the twentieth century. During this period, “life” was a common trope in the legal language of the time. Many legal scholars argued that “law” was disconnected from “life” – and they proposed various strategies to reconnect the two spheres.
These developments are set against the backdrop of the enormous political, social and cultural changes that took place around 1900. In Germany, the focus is on the methodological debates of the Weimar period. In the United States, the focus is on the emergence of social jurisprudence and legal realism.

Marius Mikkel Kjølstad is a lecturer in legal history at the University of Oslo. He wrote his doctoral thesis on Norwegian state theory in the 19th century.

Published: November 2024

Este estudio aborda la creación, diseño y validación de un cuestionario enfocado en evaluar el uso de las redes sociales en la población universitaria y su impacto en el bienestar psicológico. Se emplearon dos herramientas principales: un cuestionario ad hoc, centrado en el conocimiento y uso de las redes sociales, validado por expertos y cuya fiabilidad se midió con el coeficiente Alpha de Cronbach, y el General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) de Goldberg & Williams (1988) para evaluar la influencia en el bienestar psicológico. La validación del primer instrumento reveló cuatro dimensiones cruciales: conocimiento de redes sociales, perfil de uso, finalidades de uso y conciencia sobre problemas asociados. Solo las dimensiones de conocimiento y perfil de uso cumplieron con los criterios para su validación. Con una muestra de 797 universitarios, los análisis confirmaron la adecuación de ambos instrumentos para investigar el uso de redes sociales y su efecto en el bienestar psicológico.
Raízes da desigualdade por deficiência: quais contribuições dos modelos teóricos para compreendê-las?
Authors: Santos Wederson
Published: November 2024

Com este ensaio, coloco em perspectiva aportes dos estudos da deficiência que buscaram descrevê-la como desigualdade, a fim de aproximá-la de conceitos de Pierre Bourdieu. Uma das principais afirmações do chamado modelo social ou modelo britânico da deficiência foi explicá-la como opressão pelas barreiras do capitalismo ao corpo com impedimentos (alterações ou lesões) corporais. Quais os limites desse axioma ao descrever a deficiência como desigualdade? Ele é capaz de explicitar as raízes da desigualdade por deficiência? A partir de uma ancoragem na sociologia do corpo, busco analisar como os conceitos de corpo, habitus, hexis corporal e campo em Bourdieu superam dicotomias essencializadoras dos estudos da deficiência em torno dos pólos impedimento/deficiência, para estabelecer uma aproximação entre o conceito de habitus à interação social. Por fim, coloco em escrutínio o alcance e a validade de modelos propostos no eixo eurocentrista-estadunidense para o contexto do Sul Global, em cenários de capitalismo periférico.
Interpreting COVID-19 test accuracy

Published: November 2024

Testing people to see if they are currently infected or previously infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is a key component of medical management, public health monitoring and research. Diagnosing people as having active infections is a fundamental part of any test and contact tracing system. Improving the speed and accuracy of tests that detect current infections is a research priority and the focus of recent UK Government investment and policy decisions. Antibody tests are also an important tool to understand how many people in the population have been infected and how their immune system responded.

Is There a Hope Without Transcendence? A Metaphysical Critique of Ernst Bloch
Authors: Casanova Carlos A. , del Pozo Ignacio Serrano , Vidal Robson José Antonio ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: November 2024

Ernst Bloch formulated problems of enormous philosophical and human relevance. He held that in our contemporary situation we have but two questions concerning the fundamental direction of our lives and history: we must choose, first, between hopeless nihilism and transcendent hope; and, second, between transcendent hope with transcendence and transcendent hope without transcendence. Bloch opted for the transcendent hope without transcendence and formulated a hard critique of hope with transcendence. Josef Pieper and Bernard Schumacher have offered a competent response to Bloch from the Catholic perspective. However, we offer here a little explored aspect of the problem by demonstrating that Bloch’s metaphysical arguments do not consider that (a) a material reality necessarily has the concrete potentiality of dissolving, and (b) therefore, left to itself, it will dissolve necessarily in infinite time; and that (c) no effect can have a reality disproportionate to its cause, which is the reason why (d) no immortal reality can proceed from mortal reality without the intervention of a higher cause.

Published: November 2024

Context.—

Quality communication between clinicians and pathologists is required for optimal cancer care. The College of American Pathologists provides anatomic site–specific cancer protocols that facilitate synoptic reporting for efficient communication, contributing to accuracy and completeness of cancer staging.

Objective.—

To evaluate synoptic cancer pathology reporting across the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the largest integrated health system in the United States, for 4 common cancers: melanoma and colon, bladder, and kidney cancer.

Design.—

For each cancer type, we investigated at least 200 biopsy and 200 resection reports from 2019 to 2021. In each report, we determined whether a synoptic format was used. The reports were selected using random sampling across all VA health care facilities. We also identified a set of core elements that were underdocumented.

Results.—

Among 1618 pathology reports, 778 (48%; 95% CI, 46%–50%) were synoptic reports. Synoptic reporting was much more common among resections (621 of 811; 77%; 95% CI, 74%–79%) than among biopsies (157 of 807; 19%; 95% CI, 17%–22%). It was most common in colorectal resections (200 of 206; 97%; 95% CI, 94%–99%) and least common in colon biopsy reports (1 of 200; 0.5%; 95% CI, 0%–3%). Core elements that were underdocumented included procedure and regional lymph nodes for resections of bladder and kidney cancer and of melanoma.

Conclusions.—

Synoptic reporting was used about three-quarters of the time for resections and about 1 in 5 times for biopsies. Future work should develop implementation strategies to improve synoptic reporting, especially for biopsy specimens and core elements that were relatively underdocumented.

Araştırma, 0-6 aylık bebeği olan primipar kadınların emzirme öz yeterlilikleri ile onların algıladıkları eş desteği arasındaki ilişkiyi tespit etmek amacıyla gerçekleştirildi.
Tanımlayıcı nitelikte olan araştırma, Lokman Hekim Etlik Hastanesi’nde (Ankara) Eylül – Aralık 2023 tarihleri arasında, hastaneye başvuran 200 primipar kadınla mülakat yöntemiyle yapıldı. Araştırma verileri, Kişisel Bilgi Formu (KBF), Emzirme Öz-Yeterlilik Ölçeği-Kısa Formu (EÖYÖ-KF) ve Erken Lohusalık Sürecinde Kadınların Algıladıkları Eş Desteği Ölçeği (ELSKAEDÖ) aracılığıyla elde edildi.
Veriler analiz edildiğinde, primipar kadınların emzirme öz yeterliliklerinin ortalamasının 50,4±13,2 ve algıladıkları eş destek ortalamasının 58,6±15,3 olduğu ortaya çıktı. Bu veriler, primiparların emzirme öz yeterlilikleri ve algıladıkları eş destek seviyesinin orta düzeyde olduğunu gösterdi. Yapılan regresyon analizinde, primipar kadınların emzirme öz yeterliliği (bağımlı değişken) ile algıladıkları eş desteği, kadınların yaşı, gelir düzeyi ve eşinin emzirme eğitimi (bağımsız değişkenler) arasında ilişki bulunmuştur. Bu faktörler içerisinde emzirme öz yeterliliğini en fazla belirleyenin, kadınların algıladığı eş desteği olduğu görüldü.
Emzirme sürecinde, eşlerin aktif bir şekilde rol alması ve bunun için özellikle emzirme eğitimlerine eşlerin dahil edilmesi önerilmektedir.

This study explores the entrepreneurial intentions of young women in Karachi, Pakistan, focusing on factors that influence their motivations and challenges. The research uses a survey approach to examine how individual characteristics, social support, educational background, and access to financial and networking resources shape entrepreneurial intentions among female youth. Findings suggest that while entrepreneurship education boosts self-confidence and empowers women, societal constraints and limited resources remain barriers. Results highlight the necessity for policy interventions to support female entrepreneurs through increased mentorship, financial support, and educational access. Addressing these challenges could create a more inclusive, gender-balanced entrepreneurial ecosystem, advancing Karachi's economic and social development.
Evaluating The Role and Biases of Intuition in The Scenario Planning Process Through the III Approach
Authors: Shams Hamid  , Salman Ahmed Khatani  , Sobia Anwer
Published: November 2024

The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, Malcolm Gladwell recounts the story of the Getty kouros in his book, an ancient Greek statue acquired by the J. Paul Getty Museum in 1985. Although initial scientific tests deemed it authentic, some experts sensed it was a forgery based on subtle, intuitive cues, a suspicion later confirmed through further testing. This example highlights how expertise and intuition can lead to swift, accurate conclusions, even when analytical methods suggest otherwise. In scenario planning, intuition can be similarly potent for recognizing emerging trends and projecting future outcomes. However, it carries risks of bias and limitations shaped by personal experiences and cultural perspectives. Blending intuitive insights with structured analytical methods is recommended to counter these risks. The "III Approach" enhances intuitive scenario planning by incorporating interaction, introspection, and imagination. This process begins with brainstorming to generate potential scenarios based on intuitive insights. Next, assumptions are examined through reflection and introspection to uncover underlying biases and beliefs that may shape intuitive thinking—meditation and introspection further aid in recognizing emotional influences on judgment. Finally, creative imagination is employed to reassess assumptions and envision new possibilities. Individuals can perceive the future from fresh perspectives by transforming habitual thought patterns. The III Approach serves as a practical framework for managing the potential pitfalls of intuition-based decision-making, offering a balanced method to harness intuition for creating credible, alternative future scenarios. Intuition becomes a valuable asset in strategic foresight and scenario planning through this structured yet flexible approach.

Este artigo tem por objetivo identificar como as cooperativas goianas de agricultura familiar (AF) buscaram superar os efeitos da crise ocasionada pela pandemia da COVID-19 sob a perspectiva da teoria das Capacidades Dinâmicas. Foram realizadas entrevista semiestruturada com quatro representantes de cooperativas goianas de AF, entre os meses de Junho e Julho de 2021. Por meio da técnica análise de conteúdo, identificou-se que, quanto à capacidade de detecção (sensing), as cooperativas entrevistadas realizaram observações informais de mercado e conversas com outros membros para identificação de oportunidades. Em relação à capacidade de aproveitamento (seizing), as cooperativas entrevistadas realizaram ações como o desenvolvimento de novos produtos, criação de aplicativos de vendas, estabelecimento de acordos/parcerias para ampliação das vendas e a adoção de medidas preventivas contra a Covid-19. Por fim, em se tratando da capacidade de reconfiguração (reconfiguring), foram identificadas ações como o desenvolvimento de novos produtos, monitoramento do crédito dos clientes e a manutenção das parcerias estabelecidas durante o contexto pandêmico.

Authors: Lima Nilton Cesar , Rech Ilirio José , Queiroz Jamerson Viegas
Published: November 2024

Este estudo explora os conceitos do valuation como mecanismo de governança corporativa em estatutos sociais de cooperativas agropecuárias brasileiras, focando na admissão e controle dos cooperados. O valuation é considerado um normalizador e direcionador do valor das quotas-partes, influenciando a governança ao regulamentar a entrada, exclusão ou eliminação de membros. Utilizando análise documental e o software Iramuteq para análise lexical e semântica, examinamos 21 estatutos de cooperativas. Descobrimos que 14 delas incorporam termos relacionados à dinâmica propositiva, com destaque para a administração, fiscalização e destituição como atributos de gestão. A análise de similitude reforçou a importância da "administração" na governabilidade, associada a critérios como valor, capital, sobra, exclusão, admissão, participação e resultado. Recomenda-se pesquisas empíricas para avaliar a percepção dos atores cooperativos sobre a relevância do valuation na governança e tomada de decisões.

The environment of companies, especially large companies, is complex and rapidly changing. In addition to the technical and economic conditions that directly influence the operation, the effects of external factors also fundamentally change the operation of companies. The corporate processes affecting occupational health and safety (OHS) have also become complex, and this represents a serious challenge for the managers. Knowing the factors and processes affecting the company's OHS performance is necessary for managerial decisions that improve its effectiveness. The purpose of this work is to delve into the methods companies use to monitor and manage OHS performance. A systematic literature review was conducted of studies published in the field of OHS performance management. This overview provides knowledge about which methods determine the OHS management of companies. The review highlights and discusses performance management strategies and the main difficulties, constraints and challenges managers face in influencing OHS performance. The study concludes that improving OHS performance has become a complex task for medium and large companies. Most of the literature investigating safety performance management focuses on the technical issues of overall measurement. Limited attention is paid to the use of information from the measurement of OHS performance, and to the factors influencing managerial decisions resulting in improved performance.

Of utmost importance for assuring humanity’s sustainability is the cities and smart regions development, a problem that involves a multitude of factors and is extremely complex. Even though this fact is known by the international communities, the local and public administrations of Romania use the concepts and intelligent solutions modestly. In the present work an analysis of some theoretical aspects is presented regarding the necessity of transforming cities into smart cities, like a study that illustrates the actual state of things at Timisoara’s City Hall in parallel with the transition towards the city’s transformation into a smart city. The successful testing and validation of a smart city’s strategy at Timisoara’s City Hall ensures that it is appropriate for its usage by the country’s other public administrations.

El análisis de la producción y consumo de carne bovina es fundamental, ya que examina las tendencias, desafíos y oportunidades de este sector, lo cual tiene un impacto directo en la economía local y en la seguridad alimentaria. Al comprender estas dinámicas, se pueden identificar estrategias efectivas para optimizar la producción, mejorar la calidad de los productos y satisfacer las necesidades del mercado. En el cantón La Maná existe desabastecimiento de carne de res, ya que su centro de faenamiento ubicado en la parroquia rural de Pucayacu no tiene la capacidad para dotar de alimento a su población.  Con este preámbulo se determinó que 2,820 cabezas de bovinos se faenan al año de 200 productores asociados. En cuanto al consumo de carne bovina, se observa que en el cantón La Maná y sus zonas de influencia el consumo es del 28.80% en La Mana, 29.30% en Pucayacu y 34.60% en Guasaganda.
The Role of Pedagogical Content Knowledge When Teaching Sustainable Development in Science Education
Authors:   , Forsler Annika
Published: November 2024

Extensive research states that achieving Sustainable Development (SD) is a significant challenge due to several severe environmental issues. Education plays a crucial role in addressing this challenge, offering a valuable opportunity to influence the knowledge and abilities of society’s future adult citizens. This thesis, focusing on upper secondary science teaching, used the theoretical framework of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and its Refined Consensus Model. The aim was to investigate (1) what content science teachers emphasise when teaching SD, and how they justify that content, (2) how science teachers’ PCK in teaching SD can be captured and developed with a combination of reflection tools, (3) in what ways science teachers adjust their teaching to different vocational education programmes when teaching SD, and (4) in what way teacher teams in science can develop PCK for teaching SD via collective reflections. The methods included science teachers’ use of reflection tools, semi-structured interviews, and teachers’ collective reflections. Data were analysed using thematic analysis and qualitative content analysis. The results reveal the content choices made by teachers when teaching SD and the justifications behind them. Also, they demonstrate how reflective tools captured and supported the development of PCK. Additionally, the results clarify that many teachers adjust their teaching to the different vocational education programmes when teaching SD. Finally, the results show that collective reflections in science teacher teams may develop teachers’ PCK. This thesis contributes to the field of PCK research with a specific focus on SD. The implications translate into recommendations for principals and teachers who will hopefully be inspired by the results and the reflective tools used in the study.

Readability or text readability, particularly in English, has been studied since the end of the 19th century with hundreds of thousands of published works. The research results on this issue are not only quite rich in resources but also universally applicable in many fields. Currently, it is an interesting problem and still being continuously studied by researchers, not only for English but also for many other languages. However, in Vietnam, the study of readability is still limited research to find the solutions to meet the social needs. Based on the findings and applicable results of readability studies, the paper, initially, presents an overview about readability and the linguistic factors having influence on readability. On the view from readability and applications, the paper investigates and analyses the linguistic factors on 3 main levels: Words, Sentences, and Texts by the illustrative case studies in English language, or Vietnamese language. On this basis, the paper suggests the practical applications of readability in teaching languages ​​in general, particularly in the context of teaching English in Vietnam currently, to meet the demand for users and Vietnamese community in the era of technology.

Are mountain lions dangerous?
Authors: Frey Erzsebet
Published: November 2024

While human encounters are rare, cougars are dangerous as they are large predators that can seriously injure or kill humans. Conflicts can arise when a puma becomes too accustomed to the presence of humans, often near where we live or play, and begins to prey on livestock or other pets. Urban sprawl is reducing cougar habitat and increasing human-cougar conflict.
