Published: February 2025

Relevance. To obtain highly productive animals, it is necessary to introduce new technologies for purposeful cultivation of repair heifers based on the general patterns of individual development by periods and phases of ontogenesis.The purpose of the work is to study the influence of the age of mothers on the growth of chicks during the dairy period.Methods. For the research, all newborn heifers were divided into groups depending on the age of their mothers: 1st group from heifers; 2nd group from cows for the second calving; 3rd group from cows for the third calving; 4th group from cows for the IV calving and senior calving. Weight gain was determined by the change in body weight from birth to 6 months of age by monthly individual weighing. Heifers were weighed immediately after birth and up to 6 months of age (monthly). Based on the results of weighing, the absolute, average daily and relative weight gain was calculated.Results. As a result of the conducted research, it was found that heifers with a lower live weight are obtained from heifers, which remains so until the end of the dairy period. She was 4.3–5.3 kg less at birth, or 11.3–13.9%, and 9.0–13.4 kg, or 3.95–6.25%, at 6 months of age. Chicks from mothers grew better after the second lactation. Their live weight was the highest. She was 227.7±2.32 kg at the age of 6 months. Considering the dynamics of changes in average daily live weight gains by months (periods) of cultivation, it should be noted that in the first two and fourth groups, there is a decrease in live weight gains in the second month, and then an increase in them in the first three groups in the third and fourth months of cultivation with a further decrease in 5 and 6 months (the first and second group). In calves from cows of III and older lactation (group III and IV), fluctuations in live weight gain are observed over the months of cultivation.

The development of Holstein calves obtained from sperm by various freezing methods, as well as depending on the level of immunoglobulins in the blood serum during the colostrum period (on the third day of life), depending on the live weight at birth, was studied. The work was carried out in the winter period at the “Agrofirma Zarya” in collaboration with Federal Research Center for Animal Husbandry named after Academy Member L.K. Ernst and the All-Russian Scientific and Research Institute of Animal Breeding under a scientific cooperation agreement.A total of 36 heifers were used in the experiment with different evaluation criteria: Depending on the use of sperm prepared in different ways: Group I (experimental) - heifers obtained from sexed semen (n = 18), Subgroup II (control) - heifers obtained from conventional semen (n = 18). Depending on birth weight: Group I - birth weight up to 35 kg (n = 11), Group II — 35–39 kg (n = 14), Group III - 40 kg and above (n = 11). Depending on the concentration IgG, they were divided into three groups: Group I (n = 6) — 6.0–6.5 g/dl, Group II (n = 14) — 6.6–7.5 g/dl, Group III (n = 16) — 7.6 g/dl and higher. It was found that the live weight of calves has a significant difference at p < 0.05, that is, heifers born from sperm harvested in the traditional way had 3.5 kg more live weight compared to heifers born from a sex-separated one. The discrepancy remains until 5 months of age, and at one year of age, on the contrary, calves born from sexed semen will have a birth weight greater by 9.1 kg than heifers born from conventional semen. Similar results at birth were noted in the analysis of daily weight gains (р < 0.01). It was revealed that calves with different live weight at birth had a significant difference before the age of 5 months, and after the age of 6 months, everything gradually smooths out.83% of calves had serum IgG levels above 6.6 g/dL. Only 16.7% of calves (n = 6) had relatively low serum IgG levels on day 3 of life. The heifer groups by IgG levels had a high level of significance (р < 0.01). Serum globulins did not have a significant effect on subsequent calf development.

Published: February 2025

Relevance. During the milking period, high-yielding cows mobilize body reserves, and the metabolism of new cows is precisely coordinated to meet the increased metabolic demands for milk synthesis.The aim of the experiment was to study the effect of increased feeding level on the component composition of milk.Methods. The studies were conducted in the breeding farm of the Moscow region JSC “NaroOsanovsky” on first-calf cows, the duration of the experiment — 120 days. The groups (11 goals each) were formed according to the principle of pairs of analogues. The basic diet of the control group was balanced in all nutrients, minerals and vitamins. Feeding level of first heifers of the 1st and 2nd experimental groups from the first days of lactation was increased by additional inclusion of targeted protein-vitamin-mineral concentrate (PVMC). Milk samples were taken during control milkings with registration of daily milk yield. The component composition of milk was determined using an infrared automatic milk analyzer “CombiFoss FT+” (Denmark) in the laboratory of selection control of milk quality of JSC “Moskovskoye” for breeding work. In the average samples were determined milk fat, protein, lactose, dry matter, skim dry matter, urea.Result. During the period of the experiment, the average daily milk yield of experimental cows was significantly higher compared to the control. The analysis of milk component composition indicates that due to the increased level of feeding, milk of cows of experimental groups was characterized by a higher nutritional value.

Published: February 2025

Relevance. To study the polymorphism of genes of the main histocompatibility complex, the nomenclature of loci, the designation of OLA alleles in sheep, the associative relationship with resistance or sensitivity to parasitic and infectious diseases.The aim of the study is the state of knowledge of the main histocompatibility complex (OLA) in sheep.System analysis, statistical review of literature data from Russian and foreign sources on the study of sheep major histocompatibility complex (OLA) were used in this work. According to the level of study of OLA, sheep are among ten known animal species: primates, dogs, cats, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, cattle, salmon and mice. OLA is involved in the immune system of sheep and encodes foreign antigen recognition proteins. Studies by a number of scientists have shown that OLA genes have significant polymorphism, along with other genetic markers. In this regard, the OLA nomenclature is being intensively formed (10 loci are already known). The loci and alleles determining resistance or susceptibility to parasitic and other diseases have been identified. This will allow further selection and formation of populations of resistant animals to certain infectious origins. Knowledge of the genetic structure in DRB1 and DQB loci of sheep will make it possible to develop a reagent-software complex for studies to assess the level of OLA polymorphism in different breeds of sheep. Genotyping of sheep at early stages of development by genes of the main histocompatibility complex will make it possible to identify animals resistant or susceptible to diseases.

Authors: Lombardi Dario , Traetta Luigi , Maffei Antonio , Podžaj Primož
Published: February 2025

This systematic review examines 39 studies to identify Teaching and Learning Activities (TLAs) and Assessment Tasks (ATs) aligned with Bloom's Taxonomy, highlighting their role in fostering critical thinking and creativity. TLAs such as simulations, problem-solving, and gamification, combined with peer assessments and formative feedback, support higher-order cognitive skills. However, the review reveals a critical gap in integrating AI into these frameworks, despite AI's potential to personalize learning and enhance assessments. This absence limits the development of adaptive learning environments that meet individual needs. Future research should prioritize AI-driven tools to create flexible and personalized educational pathways. Integrating AI into education is essential to promote higher-order thinking, improve instructional design, and address contemporary learning demands. By leveraging data-driven insights, AI could transform teaching practices and enhance student outcomes.

Authors: Scarano Roberta , Ferrantino Concetta
Published: February 2025

In campo educativo, negli ultimi anni, un ruolo predominante viene riscontrato da interessanti sperimentazioni circa l'impiego dell'Intelligenza Artificiale. Lo scenario attuale è determinato da una costante connessione; ciò porta alla necessità di introdurre, in campo educativo per i diversi stakeholder scolastici, un piano di formazione attivo, etico e riflessivo. Risulta prioritario stimolare alla consapevolezza di essere cittadini digitali, promuovendo una alfabetizzazione, in termini di literacy, rispetto alla conoscenza di queste tematiche. Al fine di sottolineare l'importanza della formazione dei docenti in relazione all'innovazione didattica necessaria per restare al passo con i continui e repentini mutamenti della società odierna, si introdurrà, nel presente contributo, la progettazione di uno studio circa la consapevolezza in merito ai temi dell'intelligenza artificiale e dei vantaggi derivanti dall'utilizzo della stessa nella formazione iniziale e continua (in ambito universitario) dei docenti.
L'Intelligenza Artificiale in ambito educativo: percezioni dei docenti in formazione iniziale
Authors: Di Martino Valeria
Published: February 2025

Il presente contributo esplora l'intersezione tra l'intelligenza artificiale (AI) e la formazione iniziale degli insegnanti, concentrandosi sulle percezioni e sull'autovalutazione delle competenze nell'uso delle tecnologie AI. Nonostante l'integrazione crescente dell'AI nell'istruzione, gli studi che analizzano l'autovalutazione delle specifiche competenze tecnologiche e le percezioni dei futuri docenti al riguardo sono ancora in fase di sviluppo. A tal fine è stato condotto uno studio esplorativo preliminare attraverso la somministrazione di un questionario a 156 studenti del primo anno del corso di laurea in Scienze dell'Educazione Primaria presso l'Università degli Studi di Palermo. I risultati indicano che i partecipanti con maggiori competenze nell'uso dell'AI esprimono percezioni più positive riguardo alla sua efficacia didattica, mentre quelli con competenze minori evidenziano preoccupazioni legate allo stress degli studenti e al tempo extra richiesto per la pianificazione. Queste differenze contribuiscono a evidenziare l'importanza di una formazione adeguata per integrare l'AI nell'istruzione in modo efficace e consapevole.

Il feedback automatizzato, reso possibile da strumenti tecnologici avanzati come l'intelligenza artificiale, rappresenta una frontiera emergente per superare alcune delle sfide tradizionali legate alla personalizzazione e alla scalabilità del processo valutativo, soprattutto in classi numerose. In Italia, nonostante l'interesse crescente a livello europeo, l'adozione di valutazioni supportate da tecnologie digitali rimane limitata e presenta numerose sfide. Tali criticità sottolineano l'urgenza di promuovere lo sviluppo professionale dei docenti, attraverso percorsi di formazione mirati a integrare il feedback automatizzato nelle pratiche didattiche, al fine di valorizzare il potenziale trasformativo di questi strumenti. In tale contesto è sorto il PRIN "AI&F", volto a definire una metodologia per l'utilizzo di un framework di machine learning open-source per supportare i docenti nel fornire feedback di alta qualità a gruppi numerosi di studenti generando percorsi interattivi e trasformativi in una logica ecosistemica. Il contributo presenta gli attuali avanzamenti della ricerca e delinea le future prospettive di sviluppo.

Authors: Agostino Claudia , Visani Enrico
Published: February 2025

Questo contributo ha lo scopo di approfondire a livello psicologico, familiare e sociale il fenomeno delle persone che si trovano in una condizione di blocco e di ritiro sociale definita come NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training). Nell'epoca delle incertezze e della fragilità del passaggio tra la fase della formazione e l'ingresso nel mondo del lavoro, queste persone sembrano manifestare un importante disagio che il terapeuta sistemico deve poter accogliere, tenendo conto degli "smarrimenti" personali e familiari, dei possibili traumi e degli orizzonti futuri da costruire in un mondo percepito poco ospitale.
Approccio sistemicorelazionale alla coppia che affronta l'infertilità
Authors: Genovesi Ilaria , Lemmi Francesca
Published: February 2025

L'infertilità e la sterilità di coppia rappresentano una variabile imprevista (Vignati, 2002) nel ciclo di vita della famiglia e in particolare nella transizione di una coppia verso la genitorialità. Secondo il paradigma sistemico, la vita di una famiglia è scandita dalle transizioni, legate a eventi previsti e/o imprevisti nella vita familiare (Cigoli, Scabini, 2000): l'infertilità o la sterilità di coppia rappresenta un'esperienza che può mettere a dura prova il legame e, talvolta, può portare al fallimento della sua dimensione progettuale. In questa ottica, è necessario supportare la coppia, affinché possa affrontare il proprio disagio e riuscire a mantenere una solidità e un'intimità tale da consentire il superamento dell'evento imprevisto, dando valore alla dimensione relazionale della cura. Il nostro contributo si focalizza sull'approccio sistemico-relazionale all'infertilità che, attraverso la collaborazione tra le figure professionali che operano nel campo della riproduzione umana, propone un intervento clinico con la coppia, supportandola emotivamente in tutte le fasi del percorso, dalla valutazione ed elaborazione della diagnosi all'esito del trattamento.
Latvia: The Privatization Process and National Identity
Authors: Sacco Veronica
Published: February 2025

This paper explores Latvia's privatization methods initiated in 1993, and the most influential entities involved: Germany and the Scandinavian countries. Germany's interests in willing to pursue a policy of influence in the Baltic area, the desire of the Scandinavian countries to reposition themselves in the post-Cold War scenario in the Baltic zone and the willingness of the Baltic republics to be welcomed into Western institutions will be analyzed. During the first period of privatization, Latvia introduced a voucher privatization model allowing its citizens to bid for shares in state-owned firms. For the second period, it was chosen a model similar to Germany – with the establishment of the Privatization Agency. By the early 2000s, a large fraction of the State assets was privatized, incentivizing a surge of foreign direct investment and reshaping the economy. This research suggests that privatization wasn't merely an economic venture but interwoven with Latvia's endeavor to reposition its national identity after the Cold War. The research also provides a broader perspective on Latvia's economic journey from its Soviet associations, particularly with Russia, to its strategic gate to Western economic models. The study highlights Latvia's delicate equilibrium between European assimilation and its historical Russian connections, underlining the societal and cultural ramifications of these economic evolutions.
Hayek's Monetary Reform Proposals: From Abstract to Concrete
Authors: Karp Morris
Published: February 2025

Friedrich Hayek's views on monetary reform remarkably changed during his lifetime. From an initial stance of defending the gold standard and identifying credit stabilization as the primary goal of monetary policy, Hayek eventually shifted to supporting price stabilization and even proposed ending the central bank's monopoly on money. This article sheds light on these discrepancies by integrating Hayek's work as an economist with his research outside the field of pure economics. Hayek's enquiries concerning monetary influences on real economy, as explored in The Pure Theory of Capital, as well as his development of the category of the abstract in his epistemological research, can help clarifying his transition from credit-stabilization to price-stabilization and his abandonment of a fixed mechanism in favor of a competitive process for the establishment of the optimal currency.

Authors: Mustoha Siti Hajar Binti
Published: February 2025

Depressive disorder is a disorder of emotional, emotional, and mental stress that is recognized globally. The population of depressive disorder is among the forms of mental disorders, especially if the majority of countries experience a change in norms after the pandemic phase that changes lifestyles. Forms of psychotherapy for depressive disorders have been organized with various disciplines, but therapy in this psychology is still widely controlled by the West. It turns out that psychological therapy recorded in the Qur'an is still not handled by the majority of counselors. Regarding this study, the study will focus on the description and concept of depressive disorders recorded in Surah Maryam verses 23 to 26. Furthermore, this study will explain how to overcome depression from a counseling and spiritual perspective based on Surah Maryam verses 23 to 26. The Qur'an and tafsir are the main sources of this research. This research is a type of library research with a qualitative method. The data from this study was obtained from the results of documentation and observation using data analysis, namely data reduction, data presentation, and verification. The results of the study show that mental disorders are not impossible to apply to humans who face stressful situations. This study concludes that a combination of counseling, spiritual, and physical elements can form a therapy that covers all aspects of human beings and helps depressed people get out of confusion and restore rationality in making choices in life. In conclusion, an approach in therapy to depression that includes psychological aspects can restore rationality and emotions, well-being from human physical nourishment, and spiritually guided peace of mind. And it turns out that in psychology Islam does not only focus on the spiritual aspect but emphasizes the psychological and physical aspects of human beings in achieving prosperity.

COUNSELORS' UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN NATURE AS AN ORIENTATION FOR COUNSELING PRACTICE
Authors: Larasati Sectio Putri , Nirwana Herman , Marjohan Marjohan
Published: February 2025

Human beings are the most noble creatures created by God and have a uniqueness that distinguishes between one individual and another. This uniqueness is a distinctive distinguishing feature between each individual, both psychologically and physiologically. The most basic thing for counselors to understand the individual as the orientation of counseling practice is whether or not the needs of the individual are met because the problems that arise in an individual are not met by their basic needs such as physical, technical, social, taste, and the needs of faith and piety. This will encourage individuals to be in disturbed daily effective life behaviors. Thus, a counselor must try to analyze the condition of the individual as a counseling practice, namely whether or not these five basic needs are fulfilled to be able to provide intervention or assistance to clients when providing counseling services so that they are ineffective daily living conditions.

Наукова стаття присвячена деяким аспектам розслідування кримінальних правопорушень, пов’язаних із використанням е-банкінгу. Опрацьовується криміналістичної характеристики як складової методики розслідування визначеної категорії протиправних діянь. Зазначено, що методика розслідування окремих видів кримінальних правопорушень вже давно визнана сталою категорією в криміналістиці. В її структурі є ряд складових, які беззаперечно завжди в неї входили, як-от: проведення слідчих (розшукових) дій; використання спеціальних знань; типові слідчі ситуації. З іншого боку, є ряд елементів, які базуються на чинному кримінально-процесуальному законодавстві та з його зміною або припиняють своє існування (для прикладу, особливості порушення кримінальної справи), або додаються (зокрема, особливості внесення відомостей в Єдиний реєстр досудових розслідувань). Виокремлено наступні складові досліджуваної криміналістичної категорії під час розслідування кримінальних правопорушень, пов’язаних із використанням е-банкінгу: криміналістична характеристика кримінальних правопорушень; аналіз початкових відомостей та особливості внесення відомостей в Єдиний реєстр досудових розслідувань; обставини, які підлягають встановленню в кримінальному провадженню; типові слідчі ситуації розслідування; початковий етап розслідування ( проведення слідчих (розшукових) дій, негласних слідчих (розшукових) дій та інших заходів); подальший етап розслідування ( проведення слідчих (розшукових) дій, негласних слідчих (розшукових) дій та інших заходів); використання спеціальних знань в кримінальному провадженню; взаємодія підрозділів правоохоронних органів; встановлення причин та умов, які сприяли вчиненню протиправного діяння. Надано визначення криміналістичної характеристики як системи взаємопов’язаних даних про криміналістично значимі ознаки кримінального правопорушення, які поєднані відповідними кореляційними зв’язками та допомагають в розслідуванні завдяки побудові версій в результаті проведення окремих процесуальних дій і розшукових заходів.

Актуальність статті полягає в тому, що з розвитком інтернету та цифрових технологій в цілому з’явились нові ризики для суспільства. Зокрема, окремі особи та групи осіб почали використовувати досягнення сучасності з метою незаконного збагачення та порушення прав і законних інтересів інших представників суспільства за рахунок вчинення правопорушень, пов’язаних із незаконним використанням електронно-обчислювальних, інформаційних пристроїв та систем для крадіжок з кредитних карток та банківських рахунків, корпоративного шпіонажу, вчинення шахрайських дій і таке інше. Поступове зростання числа подібних негативних дій та кількості людей, що від них потерпають, отримуючи матеріальні збитки і моральну шкоду, вимагало реакції з боку держави та компетентних органів, що призвело до формування особливої юридичної категорії «кібербезпека», яка на сьогоднішній день є важливим об’єктом адміністративно-правового регулювання. У статті, спираючись на аналіз наукових поглядів вчених та норм чинного законодавства, розкрито ключові підходи щодо тлумачення поняття «кібербезпека». Наголошено на відсутності єдиної наукової точки зору щодо розкриття змісту та особливостей досліджуваної категорії. Сформульовано та представлено авторський підхід до визначення кібербезпеки, на основі чого виділено її особливості як об’єкту адміністративно-правового регулювання.

1. The private sector is increasingly aware of its dependence on biodiversity and the financial risks and opportunities involved. This has generated a lot of demand for investing in nature-positive solutions. There is an obvious and non-negotiable basis for such initiatives: biodiversity data. Without this data and the tools built from it, no actor can assess the effects on the ecosystems they rely on. We identify two key barriers to corporate biodiversity action: (1) lack of biodiversity data and (2) challenges with biodiversity data literacy, i.e. the domain knowledge necessary to apply data products for decision making in appropriate contexts. Building on this, we present an end-to-end framework mapping biodiversity data to data products and business use cases, to establish a shared language between business and biodiversity research. 2. First, we provide examples of new technologies for generating biodiversity data at unprecedented scales, such as environmental DNA, computer vision and audio monitoring. We discuss the large amount of biodiversity data available in open databases, with a focus on the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), including their origins, limitations, and biases. We highlight the one billion untapped primary biodiversity data points in natural history collections, and the opportunity to mobilise them into open databases using technology at relatively low cost. 3. Second, we discuss biodiversity data products, focusing on the ability to interpret, communicate, and effectively apply biodiversity models, metrics, and tools in relevant contexts. We address the challenges posed by the complexity of biodiversity, the importance of its definitions, and the use of aggregated metrics for biodiversity and ecosystem services in reporting, including the role of nature tech. 4. Third, we present the business case for investing in more and open biodiversity data, with examples of actions by companies and the finance sector. We also propose a mechanism to incentivise and reward direct investments in biodiversity data mobilisation. In conclusion, we call on businesses to prioritise financial investment in biodiversity data collection and mobilisation, to create better data products that can accelerate deployment of solutions to the biodiversity crisis.
Bridging the Gap: A Multi-Pronged Approach to Road Safety in Malaysia
Authors: Lee Qian Hua , Ng Gary Kit Min
Published: February 2025

Road traffic accidents are a growing global tragedy. Therefore, road safety is always a matter of great concern as it relates to the livelihood and well-being of the people of Malaysia. As elsewhere in the world, causes of road accidents include vehicle failure, uneven roads, reckless driving, speeding, intoxication, lack of sleep, and more. Although the government has implemented laws, rules, and programmes to curb road accidents in Malaysia, citizens remain unsure of the potential risks posed by legal deficiencies. Therefore, the focus of this article is to bridge the gap between the legal framework and lingering public uncertainty regarding road safety in Malaysia, paving the way for the development of more effective strategies to create a safer transportation environment for all.

Unsteady Magneto-radiative Flow of Copper-water Nanofluid Over an Exponentially Stretching Surface
Authors: Tshivhi Khodani Sherrif , Tshehla Maashutha Samuel
Published: February 2025

Understanding the complex behavior of fluid flows under various physical influences is crucial for advancing engineering and industrial applications. This paper presents the investigation of the unsteady, incompressible, single-phase magneto-radiative flow of a copper-water nanofluid over an exponentially stretching surface, considering the effects of viscous dissipation and temperature-dependent heat sources. This model, proposed in the present analysis, is based on fundamentals of the continuity and Navier–Stokesequations with mass conservation. Further, use of a similarity transformation will reduce the equations to dimensionless form and provide a numerical solution using the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method. In physics, engineering, and industrial applications, the most interesting parameters are the velocity, temperature, skin friction, and the Nusselt number (Nu). The results of this study are compared with previous works, showing significant agreement with findings under similar conditions. The analysis reveals that both temperature and velocity boundary layer increase when all very specific effects of radiation (R), heat source (Q), copper nanoparticle volume fraction, and magnetic field strength parameter are present. On the other hand, it is found that skin friction increases when considering both copper nanoparticle volume fraction and magnetic field strength parameter, but the Nu decreases if R, Q, copper nanoparticle volume fraction, and magnetic field strength parameter are the factors responsible for that. These outcomes will be further delineated through graphics and be elaborated in engineering and industrial context.
Linear dimensions of granulation tissue components in purulent wounds in horses

Accidental purulent wounds in horses are a fairly common pathology associated with the regimes of keeping and operating animals. More often they are localized in the area of the hind limbs (41.7%). The problem of treating wounded animals is quite often associated with the insufficient effectiveness of existing schemes. Due to this the purpose of our research was to test the effectiveness of the developed complex agent of antimicrobial and sorption-detoxification action (consisting of 2% ofloxacin and 98% methyl silicic acid hydrogel) Xeroflox in purulent skin-muscular wounds in horses and to study dynamic changes in the structure of granulation tissue (diameter of endothelial cell nuclei, thickness of the vessel wall, thickness of fibrils, parameters of the vascular bed and the number of cells of granulation tissue). It was established that in the process of healing purulent skin-muscular wounds in horses, the formation of granulation tissue occurs with pronounced stage changes. The formation of the first components of granulation tissue is observed already on the second day after the injury in the direction from the peripheral areas to the center. The end of the formation of connective tissue is observed at different times depending on the selected agent in the first phase of the wound process. The results of clinical testing of the developed complex drug with antimicrobial and sorption-detoxification action Xeroflox (the composition includes 2% ofloxacin and 98% methylsilicic acid hydrogel) for purulent skin-muscular wounds in horses were obtained. The choice of Ofloxacin as an antibacterial component is due to the high sensitivity of the isolated microflora to it. When using Xeroflox in the first phase of the wound process, starting from the second day, the formation of granulation tissue was recorded. The use of Xeroflox, compared with Levomekol, provided a reduction in the healing time of accidental skin-muscular wounds from 24-26 to 20 days (p˂0.001), which is associated with an earlier formation of the arteriovenous bridge in the granulation tissue, which was accompanied by a dynamic increase in the diameter of the nuclei of endothelial cells and the thickness of the vessel walls, as well as the organization of connective tissue fibers.
