The objective of this work is two traders of the municipal market in Breves; to guarantee two merchants perceptions on the conditions of the environment of non-local fish waste management and provide an alternative to or use these residues, using the Tam’baqui scales (Colossoma macropomum) for the manufacture of bioxies. It was used a semi-structured questionnaire dated and for a total of 20 vendors in their local job and two fish residues in loco. This research was performed from June to July 2018. After, interview and observation, the residues of C. macropomum were collected not own market and directed to the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Pará Campus Breves, for seminar treated and selected for a biocide making. During the results of the socio-economic profile, it is possible to observe that 100% two individuals who work at home-based marketing, where 45% have completed their full employment and declared to be married, between 41 to 50 years of age and live for more than 30 years municipality. The main source of income is coming from a non-market fish market or that, for the same time, promotes or consumes animal protein in the region, being considered a primary activity, whose income is obtained from a minimum wage. Fishes aracu, will map, fish white, piranambu, tamuatá and tambaqui were the most species found for sale, with stand out for or tambaqui that é or fish more marketed not local. In relation to environmental issues, I have observed a large quantity of fish’s residues such as trimming, carcasses, skin and scales, as well as not properly disposed of. These residues, after a series of treatments, could be transformed into raw materials for making bio-jewels such as earrings, necklaces and bracelets. These products are proposed for families to increase their incomes and still contribute to environmental conservation, showing them as an action for sustainable development in the local economy of the Brazilian Eastern Amazon Archipelago.

Published: March 2020

Canine Visceral Leishmaniosis (LVC) is a zoonotic infectious disease transmitted by a mosquito belonging to the family of phlebotomines. The clinical signs often observed involve lymphadenopathy, renal failure, polyarthritis, splenomegaly, skin signs such as hyperkeratosis, alopecia, onicogrifosis, among others. Treatment has high cost, and consists of the association of drugs, which can cause severe side effects on the patient due to its toxicity. Seeking to reduce side effects, improve patients' immunity and disposition, veterinarians have sought auxiliary therapies to minimize treatment damage, promoting greater well-being to the patient. Thus, this study seeks to report the case of a dog clinically and serologically diagnosed with Leishmaniosis, which obtained a positive result in the association of ozone gas applications with drug treatment.

Published: March 2020

Perineal hernia is described as the muscle weakening of the perineum region, so that viscera migration to the region may occur. Occurs mainly in dogs, males, uncastrated and elderly. It is uncommon in felines. A female feline, SRD, 7 years old, was seen at the Animal's Clinic, located in Teresina-PI, presenting signs compatible with perineal hernia. The definitive diagnosis was made by simple radiographic examination, and bowel loops were observed as hernial content. The treatment performed was classical herniorrhaphy, which proved to be efficient. Thus, this study aimed to report a case of bilateral perineal hernia in a cat, describing its signs, clinical history, method of diagnosis and treatment employed.

The growing increase in the world population and the need to meet all nutritional demand requires the development of new food production techniques. Thus, comes aquaponia, which integrates fish cultivation and hydroponic agriculture, promoting a sustainable system of producing safe food and conservation of water resources. The system is based on the recirculation of water between crops, using fish production substrates for vegetable growth, avoiding the accumulation of toxic ammonia excreted by animals in water, enabling aerobic conversion through the action of microorganisms, consequently absorbed by plant roots, helping their growth. This work accompanied the quality of water and the productive performance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) created in an aquaponic system in stairs, intercropmed with Lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. crispa). The results were compared with those recommended in the literature and exceeded the expectation of growth and weight gain of fish with initial biomass of 1,500g/m3 and final biomass of 9,856g/m3, with the initial average weight of 50g and final weight of 352g, with average feed intake 945g/fish and 2.68 feed. It was observed that the parameters of water quality during the period of beginning and multiplication of the action of ammonia nitrir bacteria presented variations, which may be related to the percentage of 11.12% of fingerling mortality. After this period the results obtained were satisfactory and corresponded to the expected proving that the aquaponicsystem on stairs presents several benefits and requires technical knowledge for satisfactory results, being a viable alternative for cultivation and management of aquaponics in Brazil.esumo em inglês.

The CVD-method of organometallic compounds is a universal method of obtaining functional metal coatings on substrates of various chemical composition and configuration. The essence of the method is the evaporation (sublimation) of the organometallic compound in the reactor of the metallization unit and the deposition of metal on the substrate heated to the decomposition temperature of the initial reagent. This article presents the results of research work group of authors to create the algorithm of development safe methods foe depositing metallic coatings by CVD-method. The increase of the industrial safety of metallization is achieved due to automation of the process, equipping the plant for the application of metal coatings with locking and alarm systems. The ecological nature of the CVD-method, in which extremely hazardous substances were used as initial reagents, was ensured by sealing equipment and conducting the process in a closed cycle with the possibility of re-use of the reagents. This eliminated the flow of pollutants into the environment and allowed the implementation of the principles of resource and energy conservation.

Published: March 2020

An installation was developed and studies were carried out to determine the oxide solubility of copper, lead, arsenic, and antimony from copper-lead matte to slag under conditions of controlled values ​​of РО2=2,74*10-4 Pa and PS2=1,45*102 Pa, applicable to smelting reduction processes of copper-, lead-containing raw materials. It was found that the oxide solubility of copper from matte to slag increases monotonously with an increase of copper content in the matte. The presence of lead in the matte does not significantly affect the final solubility of copper in the slag. In a reducing atmosphere, the solubility of copper in slag is 0.28-0.35%, at the range of copper content of 30-45% in the matte, which is typical for industrial practice. The solubility of lead from copper-lead matte to slag has higher values ​​and increases to 1%. According to the results of mineralogical studies, there is no metallic form of arsenic in slags. Arsenic in slags was found in the form of oxide (As2O5) bound to silicate. Antimony in slag was found in oxide and metallic form. Moreover, the proportion of the last form in the slag prevails. It is shown that under reduction conditions the sublimation of arsenic and antimony from copper-lead matte is difficult. Equilibrium concentrations of As, Sb in the slag (0.17%) are achieved with their optimum content in the matte which is about 0.63%. Obtained results can be used to predict the loss of oxide solubility of copper and to develop optimal solutions to reduce the total loss of copper with slag during the reduction processes of separate processing of copper-, lead containing raw materials.

Due to the lack of data on the double film Nb-Cd system thermal stability, the effect of thermo-vacuum treatment of cadmium solid solutions in niobium, in intermetallic compound NbCd2 and in cadmium-based alloys on the structure of materials was studied. A step-by-step isochronous annealing at a temperature of 300 and 500°C and a pressure of 1·10-3 Pa was used as the research method followed by tracking changes in the composition and structure by comparing the diffractometric data before and after heat treatment. The amount of cadmium in the coating, the sublimation (evaporation) rate of cadmium from film coatings was determined based on the previously established dependence of the lattice parameter of the body-centered cubic lattice of solid solutions on the composition. As a result, the heating of film coatings (49.0 - 64.5 at % Cd) represented by solid solutions in high vacuum up to 300°C was founded to be accompanied by the onset of intense degradation of the crystalline niobium-cadmium system due to the diffusion of cadmium atoms to the solid phase-vapor interface and its subsequent sublimation. Coatings from the NbCd2 intermetallic compound which is a degenerate semiconductor and cadmium-based solid solutions (72.5 and 76.8 at % Cd) including the amorphized phase of the intermetallic compound, after exposure at this temperature are degraded due to the complete transfer of cadmium to the vapor phase by evaporation. Upon thermal exposure to a temperature of 200°C, the structure of solid solutions of cadmium in niobium and the NbCd2 intermetallic compound was stable.

Authors:   Karaganda State Technical University, Kazhikenova S.Sh.
Published: March 2020

New calculation formulas for estimating the technological uncertainty and completeness of each process and the scheme as a whole are derived. A high correlation is established between the ideal hierarchical structure of complex systems and the structure of technological schemes for real metallurgical copper productions. Thus, the problem of theoretical substantiation and practical application of unified information laws for the comparative assessment of competing technological schemes and improvement of existing metallurgical industries, ensuring the achievement of the goal in the most technological way, is solved. The studies carried out in the work are completely original. A significantly high scientific level of the work is defined by the use of modern information technologies in solving practical problems in the production with the aim of comparative estimation and improving individual technological processes and schemes on the whole on the basis of the unified index which represents an objective complex technological value of chemical-and-metallurgical (and any other) production on the basis of fundamental laws of conservation. There is considered using the formulae obtained for uncertainty and completeness of each technological operation for calculating the complex uncertainty and completeness of the technological scheme on the whole on the example of typical metallurgical productions, first of all, non0ferrous metals characterized with the most variety. There are suggested new aspects of entropy-and-information analysis of chemical-and-metallurgical processes and technological schemes on the whole, new calculation formulae for determining the level and system determinations of technological systems.
Face à l’effondrement du champ, la stratégie comme manière de vivre

Published: March 2020

La question de la légitimité et de la spécificité des disciplines du management est posée depuis longtemps. C’est en particulier vrai pour la stratégie dont l’existence même en tant que champ est questionnée. En nous appuyant sur le cadre conceptuel posé par Hirschman Exit, Voice, Loyalty (défection ou prise de parole), les auteurs défendent l’idée de Voice, mais cela nécessite un profond renouvellement des pratiques de recherche et d’enseignement. En s’inspirant du philosophe Pierre Hadot, ils proposent de penser et de pratiquer la stratégie comme une manière de vivre.

Innovation majeure des trente dernières années, les ETF (Exchange-Traded Funds) ont mis du temps avant de devenir un sujet d’intérêt pour la recherche en finance. Cet article s’interroge sur les raisons du décalage existant entre le lancement du produit et la production scientifique sur le sujet. L’analyse montre que le développement de la recherche et l’évolution des thèmes qu’elle a successivement abordés sont indissociables de la croissance du nombre d’ETF, du montant de leurs encours sous gestion, et de l’apparition des premiers épisodes mettant en doute leur fonctionnement initialement présenté et perçu comme simple.
Quand l’intelligence artificielle théorisera les organisations
Authors: Baumard Philippe
Published: March 2020

Cet article1 explore la possibilité qu’une intelligence machine puisse théoriser des organisations ; et qu’elle le fasse mieux qu’une intelligence humaine dans un proche futur. La plupart des modèles d’apprentissage des machines sont des processus statistiques automatisés qui sont à peine capables d’une induction formelle et ne génèrent pas de nouvelles théories, mais reconnaissent plutôt un ordre préexistant. Les théories humaines sont incarnées ; elles naissent d’un lien organique avec le monde, auquel les théoriciens ne peuvent échapper. Cet article envisage de surmonter cet obstacle pour accueillir une révolution théorique apportée par l’IA.
Financialization from the margins
Authors: Saiag Hadrien
Published: March 2020

This article investigates how the Argentine subproletariat perceives the recent consumer credit boom, based on several field visits carried out in one of Argentina's industrial hubs between 2007 and 2016. It analyzes the credit boom in relation to the wider social transformations induced by the leftist Peronist governments during 2003–2015 (especially the incorporation of informal workers into the social protection system). It argues the rise of consumer credit is perceived by those who use it with ambivalence. While it has allowed the subproletariat to access a form of consumption that was previously restricted to upper classes, it also exposes this population to a new form of exploitation based on the discrepancy between the (monthly based) time of finance and the (erratic) time of work.
Homogenization and diffusion approximation of the Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker–Planck system: A relative entropy approach
Authors: Addala Lanoir , El Ghani Najoua , Tayeb Mohamed Lazhar
Published: March 2020

We are concerned with the analysis of the approximation by diffusion and homogenization of a Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker–Planck system. Here we generalize the convergence result of ( Comm. Math. Sci. 8 ( 2010 ), 463–479) where the same problem is treated without the oscillating electrostatic potential and we extend the one dimensional result of ( Ann. Henri Poincaré 17 ( 2016 ), 2529–2553) to the case of several space dimensions. An averaging lemma and two scale convergence techniques are used to prove rigorously the convergence of the scaled Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker–Planck system to a homogenized Drift-Diffusion-Poisson system.

The Effect of Glycated Hemoglobin on the Prognosis of Diabetic Patients: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study
Authors: Alkattan Abdullah N. , Alkhalifah Ahmed S. , Alsalameen Eman A.
Published: March 2020

Objectives: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevation of blood glucose and a high percentage of glycated hemoglobin A1c. Elevated hemoglobin A1c percentage of more than 7% will result in high production of advanced glycation end-products. Th e elevated level of advanced glycation end-products in diabetic patients means a high risk for diabetic complications. Th e primary endpoint was to evaluate the hemoglobin A1c levels among diabetic patients and its effect on the prognosis of this metabolic disease in all regions inside Saudi Arabia.

Methods: Th is was a cross-sectional observational study conducted between March and August 2018. Th e study was done by using a questionnaire containing nine questions which planned to involve at least 390 diabetic patients.

Results: Six hundred and ninety-four diabetic patients from Saudi Arabia had answered the nine-question questionnaire about hemoglobin A1c percentage and prognosis of diabetes. Th e mean age of these patients is 43.4 years old and most of those patients (75.5%) were visiting governmental hospitals. Th e number of diabetic patients having hemoglobin A1c less than 7% are 259 patients with hemoglobin A1c mean 6.66% + 3.33%, however, there are 435 patients having hemoglobin A1c more than 7% with mean equals 7.75% + 1.2%, the difference between them is statistically significant (P value < 0.0001).

Conclusion: Th e glycated hemoglobin of diabetic patients in all regions of Saudi Arabia was significantly elevated and uncontrolled based on most diabetic guidelines and significantly affects the prognosis by causing diabetic complications especially cardiovascular diseases.
Hypercalcemia in a Patient with Rhabdomyolysis. A Case Report and a Literature Review
Authors: Samargandy Shaza A.
Published: March 2020

Calcium kinetics can be challenging during the different phases of rhabdomyolysis. In this case report we illustrate an unusual biphasic calcium behavior in a 27-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with septic shock and rhabdomyolysis complicated with acute kidney injury and oliguria. Initially he had hypocalcemia but as rhabdomyolysis improved, his calcium levels started to rise to above normal levels despite intermittent dialysis sessions. Hypercalcemia later on responded to denosumab and cautious hydration after his urine output improved.

In conclusion, hypercalcemia can complicate the recovery phase of rhabdomyolysis. Careful monitoring of calcium levels and management are warranted.
Round Table Talks did not happen in a vacuum: The political solidarity model of social change and Polish transition to democracy
Authors: Górska Paulina
Published: March 2020

Theories of social change developed within social psychology are rarely employed to interpret historical events. This is a serious neglect, as a social-psychological perspective has the capacity to inform our understanding of long-term processes that prepare the ground for major political breakthroughs. In this commentary, I utilize the political solidarity model of social change (Subašić, Reynolds, & Turner, 2008, https://doi.org/10.1177/1088868308323223) to examine Poland’s path to democracy. Using a tripolar division for the authority (i.e., communist leaders), the minority (i.e., democratic opposition), and the majority (i.e., unengaged citizens), I argue that the Round Table Talks of 1989 originated from two interdependent social processes that precipitated in the late ’70s. Whereas one of these processes encompassed the loss of popular support for the Communist Party, the other one involved an increase in the majority’s identification with the democratic opposition. I propose that without the co-occurrence of these two processes, the Round Table agreements would not have been possible.
Turning points at the Round Table Talks
Authors: Druckman Daniel , Bulska Dominika , Jochemczyk Łukasz
Published: March 2020

At the beginning of the 1990s the “winds of change” blew through Europe, leading to the fall of Communism and regime change in several Eastern-European countries. The domino effect started in Poland with the Round Table negotiations that ultimately led to democratization of the country. The context that allowed this historical event to occur has been studied, but the talks themselves have not been analyzed in detail. In this article, we undertake this task. Using several complementary analytical approaches – negotiation theory, turning points analysis and dynamical systems – we study the process of getting to an agreement, focusing on the seven key issues of the negotiations. We treat the Round Table Talks both as a unique case of negotiations, given its structure and the context in which it happened, as well as an event comparable to other negotiations and connecting to the broader negotiation literature. Results of our inquiries show the importance of procedures during the talks and highlight the role played by motivation in propelling the negotiating parties to an agreement. We discuss the implications of our findings for negotiation theory and for the broader context of the historical event.
Remaking history and remaking psychology: On the contributions of Janusz Reykowski and Janusz Grzelak to the Polish Round Table negotiations
Authors: Reicher Stephen
Published: March 2020

In this introductory piece to the special issue, I seek to establish the importance of the topic under discussion: that is, the psychology of the 1989 Polish Round Table Talks. I start by underlining the unique opportunity to gain insight into this topic given that two of the main protagonists, Janusz Reykowski on the Government side and Janusz Grzelak on the Solidarity side, are social psychologists. Next, I argue for both the world-historical significance of the Round Table Talks and for the necessity of a psychological dimension to the analysis of what happened. I then address what Psychology provides for an understanding of the Round Table process and what the Round Table process contributes to an understanding of Psychology. Specifically, this turns on the need for a more complex and historical conceptualisation of intergroup relations in which the very nature of the groups in relation may be transformed. I conclude by pointing to further research opportunities on this key question of the configuration and reconfiguration of social groups.

Published: March 2020

This paper aims to explain how the content of the analysis can be used as a framework for investigating the ideologies contained in the text, especially in the reporting of election. The problem in the current ideological discourse analysis is that there is no explicit and systematic method of explaining ideology and discourse criticism to be unscientific. The research question in this paper how the content analysis framework is presented in the news? How the content analysis framework consists of a content analysis framework leading to prescriptive objectives in the form of a news content unit? In this paper, research data were taken from the 2018 West Java governor election campaign news text from online newspapers. The results of the research were news content raised topics such as social actors namely figure and groups, and also social practice namely politics, and social actions. The ideology presented in the news was an imbalance in term of the frequency of reporting in the news. The imbalance result was related to asymmetric power ideology in the newspaper.
New Insights Into the Plastome Evolution of the Millettioid/Phaseoloid Clade (Papilionoideae, Leguminosae)
Authors: Oyebanji Oyetola , Zhang Rong , Chen Si-Yun , Yi Ting-Shuang
Published: March 2020

The Millettioid/Phaseoloid (MP) clade from the subfamily Papilionoideae (Leguminosae) consists of six tribes and ca. 3,000 species. Previous studies have revealed some plastome structural variations (PSVs) within this clade. However, many deep evolutionary relationships within the clade remain unresolved. Due to limited taxon sampling and few genetic markers in previous studies, our understanding of the evolutionary history of this clade is limited. To address this issue, we sampled 43 plastomes (35 newly sequenced) representing all the six tribes of the MP clade to examine genomic structural variations and phylogenetic relationships. Plastomes of the species from the MP clade were typically quadripartite (size ranged from 140,029 to 160,040 bp) and contained 109–111 unique genes. We revealed four independent gene losses (ndhF, psbI, rps16, and trnS-GCU), multiple IR-SC boundary shifts, and six inversions in the tribes Desmodieae, Millettieae, and Phaseoleae. Plastomes of the species from the MP clade have experienced significant variations which provide valuable information on the evolution of the clade. Plastid phylogenomic analyses using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian methods yielded a well-resolved phylogeny at the tribal and generic levels within the MP clade. This result indicates that plastome data is useful and reliable data for resolving the evolutionary relationships of the MP clade. This study provides new insights into the phylogenetic relationships and PSVs within this clade.
Conceptualizing the Relationship between Personal Values and Sustainability—A TMO Case Study
Authors: Rickaby Mohammad A. , Glass Jacqueline , Fernie Scott
Published: March 2020

Sustainability is associated with many contemporary challenges facing society, prompting sustainability initiatives and research in this field. An emerging strand of research has sought to investigate sustainability as a function of values. Given that values determine and predict perceptions, attitudes and behaviors, understanding employees’ underlying values would provide important insights on how values relate to sustainability-related actions. However, there is a gap in knowledge around individual actors’ roles as influencers or change agents for sustainability, particularly in a construction project context. Drawing on values theory, this exploratory research addresses this gap by conceptualizing the relationship between personal values and sustainability performance. A Temporary Multiple Organization (TMO) (a major infrastructure project in the UK) was used as the case study. An adapted version of Schwartz Value Survey (SVS) was used to measure and analyze the personal values of employees with professional and managerial roles. Statistical and multidimensional scaling analysis were deployed to analyze the responses. Given the lack of theory and research in a construction management context, the potential significance and implications of the findings were explored and analyzed by drawing on existing empirical studies around values. This enabled the development of six theoretical concepts (‘Feeling of Oneness’, ‘Moral Obligation’, ‘Creativity’, ‘Challenge’, ‘Change’ and ‘Compliance’) latterly expressed as propositions. This novel conceptualization has the potential to explain and articulate the relationship between personal values and sustainability performance.

Soybean has been consumed in Asia traditionally as a staple food. Soybean can be a source of essential fatty acids—linoleic (18:2, ω-6) and α-linolenic acid (18:3, ω-3)—for humans. Intake of fatty acids with high ω-3 concentration or low ω-6/ω-3 ratios is more desirable for human health. However, in soybean, the unsaturated fatty acids are less stable than the saturated fatty acids in different environments. The objective of the present study is to expand the understanding of the environmental stability of elevated α-linolenic acid of soybean genotypes with alleles from wild soybean grown in three Asian countries. The results highlighted an environmental effect on the accumulation of 18:3, following the growth of soybean genotypes with elevated α-linolenic acid in eight environments. Particularly, temperature influenced the accumulation of 18:3 concentration. The soybean genotype, UT-385-4-4, produced the highest 18:3 concentration and is more stable than all the other soybean genotypes, excluding PT-100-3. UT-385-4-4 is a potential genetic resource to develop novel cultivars with high 18:3 concentration, which could be dietary sources of plant-derived ω-3 fatty acids.

Elemental analysis using energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence on extra virgin olive oils and seed oils revealed the presence of two major concentration related clusters, one containing elements of pedological origin, whilst the other consisted of heavy metals. Seed oils were found to contain a higher concentration of titanium when compared to extra virgin olive oils, whilst extra virgin olive oils derived from the Maltese Islands had a significantly higher concentration of barium and phosphorus on using the Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA (p-value < 0.05 for both elements). Application of stepwise linear canonical discriminate analysis proved to be highly superior to PCA, as it was able to distinguish between seed oils from extra virgin olive oils and distinguish between foreign and locally produced extra virgin olive oils.

Excessive rainfall occurring in the early spring season in the Midwestern United States result in waterlogged soils contributing to corn production losses. The objective of our study is to evaluate the impact of soil waterlogging [non-waterlogged or waterlogged for 7 days when corn was at V3 growth stage (corn plant having three fully developed leaves with collar visible)], different pre-plant nitrogen (N) fertilizer sources and post-waterlogging rescue N fertilizer on grain and silage yield of two commercially available corn hybrids with different flood tolerance. Pre-plant N fertilizer was applied at 168 kg N ha−1. Nitrogen sources were a non-treated control (CO), polymer coated urea (PCU), urea (NCU), and urea plus Instinct (NCU + NI). A post-waterlogging rescue N fertilizer was applied at V7 as 0 or 83 kg N ha−1 of urea plus N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) (NCU + UI). Waterlogging decreased grain and silage yields in different years; however, significant interactions were observed among treatments. Rescue N applications increased grain yields by 6–46% in non-waterlogged treatments, but not in waterlogged treatments. The PCU and NCU + NI increased grain yields compared to the CO. Pre-plant N sources showed no significant differences in grain yield, probably due to existing environmental conditions or incorporation of fertilizer. The N source, application method, and timing for post-waterlogging rescue N application and flood-tolerant corn hybrids needs further investigation in poorly-drained claypan soils prone to waterlogging under a changing climate.

Octopus vulgaris possesses highly sophisticated sense organs, processed by the nervous system to generate appropriate behaviours such as finding food, avoiding predators, identifying conspecifics, and locating suitable habitat. Octopus uses multiple sensory modalities during the searching and selection of food, in particular, the chemosensory and visual cues. Here, we examined food choice in O. vulgaris in two ways: (1) We tested octopus’s food preference among three different kinds of food, and established anchovy as the preferred choice (66.67%, Friedman test p < 0.05); (2) We exposed octopus to a set of five behavioural experiments in order to establish the sensorial hierarchy in food choice, and to evaluate the performance based on the visual and chemical cues, alone or together. Our data show that O. vulgaris integrates sensory information from chemical and visual cues during food choice. Nevertheless, food choice resulted in being more dependent on chemical cues than visual ones (88.9%, Friedman test p < 0.05), with a consistent decrease of the time spent identifying the preferred food. These results define the role played by the senses with a sensorial hierarchy in food choice, opening new perspectives on the O. vulgaris’ predation strategies in the wild, which until today were considered to rely mainly on visual cues.

The probiotic-prebiotic properties and chemical composition of Yarrowia lipolytica yeast (YL), predisposes it for use as a turkey feed additive. The aim of the study was to determine whether YL in the diet of turkeys would exert more beneficial effect by stimulating antioxidant reactions and increasing mineral availability than Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC). An additional aim of the study was to test whether the addition of a probiotic bacteria to feed containing Yarrowia lipolytica or Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast would enhance their effect. The study was conducted on turkeys from seven to 112 days of age to determine the effects of a 3% addition of YL to the diet, as an alternative to the standard SC. It was analysed whether the use of a probiotic (Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus subtilis) together with yeast would be more effective. Both the yeast (YL or SC) and the probiotic stimulated antioxidant mechanisms (increased CAT; reduced MDA), but the addition of SC was less effective. The inclusion of YL in the feed increased the plasma content of Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn and Fe in the blood turkeys and lowered the content of cholesterol and triacylglycerols. The combined use of yeast (YL or SC) with a probiotic enhances the antioxidant effect while inhibiting of lipid peroxidation. The combined use of yeast with a probiotic can be recommended in cases of stimulation of oxidative reactions (e.g., stress or infection)
NoxO1 Knockout Promotes Longevity in Mice

According to the free radical theory of aging, reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been proposed to be a major cause of aging for a long time. Meanwhile, it became clear that ROS have diverse functions in a healthy organism. They act as second messengers, and as transient inhibitors of phosphatases and others. In fact, their detrimental role is highly dependent on the context of their production. NADPH oxidases (Nox) have been discovered as a controllable source of ROS. NoxO1 enables constitutive ROS formation by Nox1 by acting as a constitutively active cytosolic subunit of the complex. We previously found that both Nox1 and NoxO1 were highly expressed in the colon, and that NoxO1-/- deficiency reduces colon health. We hypothesized that a healthy colon potentially contributes to longevity and NoxO1 deficiency would reduce lifetime, at least in mouse. In contrast, here we provide evidence that the knockout of NoxO1 results in an elongated life expectancy of mice. No better endothelial function, nor an improved expression of genes related to longevity, such as Sirt1, were found, and therefore may not serve as an explanation for a longer life in NoxO1 deficiency. Rather minor systemic differences, such as lower body weight occur. As a potential reason for longer life, we suggest better DNA repair capacity in NoxO1 deficient mice. Although final fatal DNA damage appears similar between wildtype and NoxO1 knockout animals, we identified less intermediate DNA damage in colon cells of NoxO1-/- mice, while the number of cells with intact DNA is elevated in NoxO1-/- colons. We conclude that NoxO1 deficiency prolongs lifetime of mice, which correlates with less intermediate and potentially fixable DNA damage at least in colon cells.

Preservation of spectral and spatial information is an important requirement for most quantitative remote sensing applications. In this study, we use image quality metrics to evaluate the performance of several image fusion techniques to assess the spectral and spatial quality of pansharpened images. We evaluated twelve pansharpening algorithms in this study; the Local Mean and Variance Matching (IMVM) algorithm was the best in terms of spectral consistency and synthesis followed by the ratio component substitution (RCS) algorithm. Whereas the IMVM and RCS image fusion techniques showed better results compared to other pansharpening methods, it is pertinent to highlight that our study also showed the credibility of other pansharpening algorithms in terms of spatial and spectral consistency as shown by the high correlation coefficients achieved in all methods. We noted that the algorithms that ranked higher in terms of spectral consistency and synthesis were outperformed by other competing algorithms in terms of spatial consistency. The study, therefore, concludes that the selection of image fusion techniques is driven by the requirements of remote sensing application and a careful trade-off is necessary to account for the impact of scene radiometry, image sharpness, spatial and spectral consistency, and computational overhead.
Energy Efficient and Reliable Routing Algorithm for Wireless Sensors Networks

In energy-constrained wireless sensor networks, low energy utilization and unbalanced energy distribution are seriously affecting the operation of the network. Therefore, efficient and reasonable routing algorithms are needed to achieve higher Quality of Service (QoS). For the Dempster–Shafer (DS) evidence theory, it can fuse multiple attributes of sensor nodes with reasonable theoretical deduction and has low demand for prior knowledge. Based on the above, we propose an energy efficient and reliable routing algorithm based on DS evidence theory (DS-EERA). First, DS-EERA establishes three attribute indexes as the evidence under considering the neighboring nodes’ residual energy, traffic, the closeness of its path to the shortest path, etc. Then we adopt the entropy weight method to objectively determine the weight of three indexes. After establishing the basic probability assignment (BPA) function, the fusion rule of DS evidence theory is applied to fuse the BPA function of each index value to select the next hop. Finally, each node in the network transmits data through this routing strategy. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that DS-EERA is promising, which can effectively prolong the network lifetime. Meanwhile, it can also reach a lower packet loss rate and improve the reliability of data transmission.
