Authors: Cruz Bustamante Diego , Cisterna Zenteno Cecilia
Published: July 2024

The present study analyzed the contribution of the picture description strategy through the TikTok application to the improvement of speaking accuracy of five undergraduate students from higher education in Chile. Participants had difficulties when speaking was required, and using TikTok inside the classroom might have a positive outcome as it is an innovative and engaging way of practicing speaking accuracy for students. The research consisted of four intervention sessions where different grammar and vocabulary contents were reviewed. A pre-and post-intervention test, along with a focus group and a rating scale, were applied to the participants to collect data based on two research objectives: to assess students' speaking accuracy skills after using the describing picture strategy in videos uploaded to the TikTok application and to analyze students' perceptions regarding the intervention using TikTok and their improvement in speaking accuracy. The results indicated that using the picture description strategy through TikTok was beneficial for improving participants' speaking accuracy performance as participants felt and demonstrated an improvement in their grammar and vocabulary performance. Moreover, the perception regarding TikTok usage in an educational context was positive as they highlighted the usefulness and easiness of its use.

Published: July 2024

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo la identificación de los imaginarios colectivos e imaginarios utópicos de la población universitaria peruana en el contexto de la pospandemia. Al abordar los imaginarios sociales, esta investigación busca comprender las formas en las cuales las mentalidades colectivas de las personas jóvenes universitarias fueron impactadas por el contexto de la pandemia y, en ese sentido, cómo el contexto del tiempo presente, así como del futuro muestran sus realidades, sus esperanzas y sus temores. Se trata de un estudio básico-descriptivo con un enfoque cualitativo que analiza 20 cartas redactadas por un grupo de jóvenes de una universidad peruana como parte de una actividad académica en un curso de nivel de pregrado. La intención es reconocer los pensamientos, emociones y vivencias de estos individuos. La dinámica de la escritura creativa facilitó una aproximación más íntima a las historias personales del estudiantado, evidenciando la relevancia del círculo familiar y amistoso en sus vidas. Además, se identificaron las principales afectaciones que resaltaron durante la pandemia, como los problemas de salud mental y la fragilidad de sus relaciones sociales. Las conclusiones principales invitan a cuestionar la falta de una perspectiva política tradicional entre estas personas jóvenes, quienes experimentan y reflexionan sobre su entorno social únicamente desde la órbita de lo más cercano (ellas mismas, su familia y sus amistades).
Impact of data cultural aspect to data governance program in higher education
Authors: Tridalestari Ferra Arik , Prasetyo Hanung Nindito
Published: July 2024

Higher education is currently facing a data revolution. Universities are flooded with ever-increasing data, but the information tends to be poor. Some universities implement data governance programs (DGPs) by first assessing the level of data governance maturity. From these results, it was concluded that the gap was a problem. The gaps that occur in several frameworks are related to processes, technology, and people. In principle, when improving data governance, the process and technology parts can be improved relatively easily because there are clear indicators that need attention. The problem that still occurs is related to the involvement of users or people or actors in the data governance process. The university also needs a mechanism that can resolve problems in implementing data governance. The reason is the concept of data culture. This paper proposes a measurement mechanism to determine which aspects of data culture will influence the implementation of data governance. The research was conducted using the multiple linear regression (MLR) method to look at the domain of data culture aspects that influence the implementation of the DGP. The research results show that of the three research variables, namely domain importance, planning and context (IPC), domain perception, usability and communication (PUC), and domain people, leadership, and relationship (PLR), the PLR variable is the variable that has the greatest influence on DGP compared to the other two variables. Further research opportunities to assess the maturity of data culture program implementation in universities and other organizations can be made possible by this study.

Published: July 2024

Learning style is a crucial component in encouraging quality teaching and promoting effective learning. Every student possesses distinct learning objectives, prior knowledge, cognitive ability, and cognitive style. Therefore, it is essential to understand students’ learning style preferences for high-quality and effective teaching and learning methods. This paper aims to examine the variation of learning styles among non-accounting students from one of the higher learning institutions in Melaka, Malaysia. Data were gathered from self-administered questionnaires given to students enrolled in diploma courses during financial accounting class sessions. The survey received a response from a total of 398 students. This study discovered that most students use an unimodal learning style in their studies, regardless of whether the subject is theoretical or calculative. However, the distribution of learning style modalities is significantly different between male and female respondents. Overall, the visual learning style was discovered as the most dominant among male and female students in learning accounting subjects through seeing or observing visual materials. Hence, it is vital to understand how students’ learning style affects their acquisition of knowledge, which could provide useful insights into designing teaching strategies concerning the profiles of the students and enhancing the teaching-learning process.

Institutions and Sustainability Entrepreneurship in SMEs: A Conceptual Model
Authors: Nordin Noorain Mohd , Koe Wei-Loon
Published: July 2024

The government has integrated sustainability management into its agenda to rectify environmental degradation. A new study called “sustainability entrepreneurship”, which relates sustainability management with entrepreneurial endeavors has also been established. Sustainability management is crucial because it allows small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to develop competitive advantages by fulfilling customers’ demand for sustainable products. However, the participation of SMEs in sustainability management is low and many of them fail to disclose their environmental information. This phenomenon has caused problems in encouraging sustainability management commitment among SMEs and failure in achieving 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  Therefore, this paper aims to unravel the relationships of institutional elements on proclivity on sustainability entrepreneurship among SMEs. Based on a review of existing literature on Institutional factors, a proposed model was developed to assess proclivity towards sustainability entrepreneurship among SMEs. The result of this study would be useful to create the knowledge of institutional theory and the actual behavior of proclivity of sustainability entrepreneurship, to create new knowledge in the future. This research contributes to universities, policymakers and business practitioners. As for universities, it helps to develop a new model to enrich the literature in entrepreneurship studies. In terms of policymakers and business practitioners, it helps to identify important factors in developing true sustainability entrepreneurs among SMEs.
Response of mango ginger (Curcuma amada) to plant population and different weed control methods in the forest-savanna transition zone of south-western Nigeria
Authors: Osunleti Samuel , Lagoke Segun
Published: July 2024

Field trials were conducted in the early cropping seasons of 2016 and 2017 at
the Teaching and Research Farm of Federal University of Agriculture,
Abeokuta (07? 20? N, 3? 23? E 159 m above sea level) in the forest-savanna
transition zone of south-western Nigeria to evaluate the response of mango
ginger to plant population and different weed control methods. Treatments
were laid out in a randomized complete block design with a split-plot
arrangement and replicated three times. The main plot consisted of two plant
populations: 444,444 plants/ha and 250,000 plants/ha, while the sub-plots
consisted of ten weed control methods. The collected data on growth and
yield of mango ginger plant, and weed biomass were subjected to analysis of
variance (ANOVA) and the means of the treatments were separated using the
least significant difference (LSD at p ? 0.05). Planting mango ginger at
444,444 plants/ha resulted in a 43.1% increase in rhizome yield compared to
250,000 plants/ha. Different weed control methods gave significantly higher
crop vigor score, yield and yield components than the weedy check. Relative
to the highest value in both years, uncontrolled weed infestation resulted
in a 91.4% reduction in rhizome yield. There was a 60.7% increase in mango
ginger rhizome yield when post-emergence weed control followed pre-emergence
weed control. Our study has revealed that mango ginger, as a perennial crop
with initially slow growth, requires a weed-free period beyond the first 12
weeks after planting (WAP) for acceptable weed control and optimum rhizome
yield. Hence, a pre-emergence application of oxyfluorfen at a dosage of 0.24
kg a.iha-1 and a post-emergence hoe weeding are recommended.
Correlations between morpho-agronomic traits and quality components of birdsfoot trefoil
Authors: Radic Vojo , Komljenovic Ilija , Petkovic Borislav
Published: July 2024

Birdsfoot trefoil is a perennial legume for the production of high-quality
forage. Improving the production and quality of forage is one of the
strategic objectives of breeding programs. The genotypes for this trial were
selected from promising offspring collected from local populations in Bosnia
and Herzegovina. A trial with eight genotypes (7 promising lines and 1 variety) was designed in a randomized block system with four replicates. In
the first growth, 11 components of yield and quality of biomass were
analyzed, and in the second growth, four additional parameters for seed
production. In the first growth, highly significant correlations were found
between plant height and the proportion of leaves (0.85**) and the yield of
green matter and dry matter (0.81**), while a high negative correlation was
found between the nitrogen-free extract (NFE) and the crude protein content
(-0.79**). In the regrowth, statistically highly significant (p<0.01)
positive correlations were found between the content of NFE and ash
(0.77**). Statistically significant (p<0.05) positive relationships were
found between green matter yield and dry matter yield (0.81**), green matter
yield and stem diameter (0.79*), seed yield and number of pods (0.83*), and
cellulose content and plant height (0.73*). The identification of positive
correlations for certain productive and nutritional traits will be used in
breeding programs for the creation of new varieties with improved forage
quality.

Published: July 2024

Introduction/Objective. Upper air dimensions are associated with morphological facial features. The objective of study is to test the hypothesis that the sagittal size of the upper respiratory pathways in children aged 8?12 years with hyperdivergent class II/1 malocclusion is smaller compared to the general population of the same age. This may be associated with an increased risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in these individuals later in life. Methods. Using profile teleradiograms of 31 children average age being 9.02 ? 1 years with hyperdivergent class II/1 malocclusion, sagittal dimensions of the pharyngeal respiratory pathway at the levels of naso-, oro-, and hypopharynx were measured. These dimensions were compared with measurements from 35 children with an average age of 8.97 ? 0.6 years with other types of malocclusions. Results. Statistically significant smaller sagittal dimensions of the upper respiratory pathways were found in children with hyperdivergent class II/1 malocclusion compared to the general population of the same age at all three measured levels. Conclusion. The hypothesis was confirmed that in children with hyperdivergent class II/1 malocclusion, the dimensions of the pharyngeal respiratory pathways are significantly smaller compared to the general population of the same age. The width of the oropharynx contributes most to this difference, followed by the width of the nasopharynx, with the least contribution from the hypopharynx.

Authors: Lin Shuo , Zhang Jingyi , Wang Xiaodong , Li Yannan , Tao Hanzhong
Published: July 2024

In hot weather, asphalt roads can suffer from plastic deformation due to high temperatures, causing ruts and reducing their lifespan. Heat pipes, efficient heat transfer devices, have the potential to cool asphalt roads. This study aims to assess their performance through a thermal resistance network model and numerical simulations. Results show that using heat pipes can reduce the average temperature of AC-16 C asphalt layers by 24.5?C and AC-25 C layers by 31?C. Closer spacing and lower cooling water temperature improve cooling. These findings are crucial for optimizing heat pipe cooling systems and improving asphalt road heat dissipation, benefiting road engineering.

Published: July 2024

Dei overordna problemstillingane er om profilering av barnehagar er meint som eit pedagogisk alternativ, som ledd i konkurranseleiinga i barnehagen. Korleis er profilane relatert til rammeplanen, og korleis vart profilen til? Problemstillingane vert drøfta mot intervju med styrarar i private barnehagar som har valt ein tydeleg profil, og som har dei vanlegaste profilane i norske barnehagar: friluftsbarnehage, gardsbarnehage, idrettsbarnehage, musikk- og kunstbarnehage og livssynsbarnehage. Dei fleste barnehagane oppfattar profilen sin som eit pedagogisk alternativ og har forsøkt å utvikla profilen til pedagogisk innhald og arbeidsmåtar. Dei meiner at dei representerer eit alternativ innanfor grensene rammeplanen set. Dei er ofte basert i lokale ressursar, men eigarane er i ferd med å bli viktigare. Profilar er ein viktig del av konkurranseleiinga i barnehagane.
English abstract
Profile and Pedagogy. Does Private Access Represent Pedagogical Diversity?
This article focuses on profiles in Norwegian Early Childhood Centers (ECCs). The research questions are to what extent and how profiles are meant to represent pedagogical alternatives, as part of the centers’ competitive strategy, how profiles relate to the framework plan and how they are developed. These questions are discussed based on interviews with leaders in private ECCs that present themselves with a profile, including the most frequent types of profiles in Norwegian ECCs: Outdoor activities, Farming, Sport, Music and Arts, and Religion. The analysis shows that profiles are intended as pedagogical alternatives, within the increasingly felt constraints set by the national framework plan, but it varies to what extent and how. Most of the ECCs also intend to translate their profile to pedagogical contents and methods. Profiles may be based on local resources, but are increasingly defined by the owner. Profiles stand out as an important part of the centers’ competitive approach.
Hva gjør vi med skolen? Utopi som uttrykk og virkemiddel for radikal nytenking i utdanningspolitikken
Authors: Steinnes Jenny
Published: July 2024

Politiske utopier har historisk – med rette – fått et frynsete rykte. Det kan derfor være riktig å satse på pragmatiske tilnærminger og små endringsskritt overfor en eksisterende orden. De mange utfordringene skolesystemet nå står overfor kan imidlertid kreve radikal nytenking. Utopitenking har tidligere vært forsøkt for å inspirere til politiske reformer. Den kjente historikeren Frances Yates beskriver i boka The Rosicrucian Enlightenment (1972) hvordan utopier ble brukt av sentrale aktører i 1600-tallets politiske reformiver. Utopier som politisk virkemiddel ble den gang ingen suksess. Men hva gjør vi med skolen – nå? Kan denne genren, utopitenking, få en renessanse? Denne teksten er et forsøk i så måte.
English abstract
What Do We Do With the School? Utopia as an Expression and Vehicle for Radical Innovation in Education Policy
Historically, political utopias have – rightly – gained a fringe reputation. Pragmatic approaches and small steps of change to an existing order might therefore be preferred. However, the many challenges the school system now faces may require radical new thinking. Utopian thinking has previously been attempted to inspire political reforms. The well-known historian Frances Yates describes in the book The Rosicrucian Enlightenment (1972) how utopias were used by key players in the 17th century’s political reform efforts. Utopias as a political instrument were not successful at the time. But what do we do with school – now? Can this genre, utopian thinking, have a renaissance? This text is an attempt in this respect.
La demande de l’eau pour l’utilisation industrielle et son impact sur le niveau du stress hydrique au Maroc
Authors: LAKHYAR Zouhair ,   Université Hassan II, Casablanca, Maroc
Published: July 2024

Generally, water is requested either for domestic use or for agriculture or industry, so the pressure from these three water requesters causes quite high water problems. Specialists in the field qualify this major water problem as either a water shortage or a water scarcity, but we only speak of water stress if this scarcity reaches more extreme levels, and there we begin. to talk about a critical situation. Indeed, we say that we are in a critical situation, when the stock of water is much lower than the consumption of this essential commodity. It is in this framework where this work fits, which aims to seek the impact of water consumption for industrial purposes. To do this, we will try to develop an econometric model which measures the relationship between these two quantities to decide whether or not this relationship exists and also to measure the magnitude of this relationship if it exists. The method used to measure this relationship starts with defining the appropriate model to process the data, followed by an analysis of the model's two variables to determine the best econometric form to employ, producing two models: one long-term and the other short-term. The results drawn from this modeling will allow us to raise some proposals for the management of water stress in the short and long term.
Beyond Rare Disease Patients: Exploring Machine Learning Interventions To Support People Experiencing a Diagnostic Odyssey
Authors:   , Nielsen Emily
Published: July 2024

People with a rare condition face several hurdles throughout their odyssey to obtain a diagnosis. This odyssey lasts several years and involves frequent referrals and misdiagnoses, often resulting in permanent and severe consequences on patients’ health. In addition, patients feel unheard by their healthcare providers and isolated from their peers who ‘just don’t understand’. The UK Strategy for Rare Diseases states that patients can play a significant role in their diagnosis if given suitable resources. However, patients with rare diseases feel that they lack the support they need. This thesis explores the role that technology can have in addressing this gap in support.Within this context, this thesis spans a range of topics, from human-centred design approaches to generating data and presenting a new methodological approach. Through a human-centred approach, we characterise the needs of rare disease patients, thus opening the research space to include previously unmet support needs. In addition, we identify limitations with existing measures of success and highlight the importance of a reduction in the time of diagnosis for rare disease pre-diagnostic technology. This provides the basis the simulation-based methodological approach that we develop. The simulation-task aimed to mirror the information seeking tasks that rare disease patients undertake. To do this, we curate data that is representative of a rare disease patient’s perspective, both in terms of the terminology used and the stage in which symptoms and clinical findings are discovered. In addition, we curate a pre-diagnostic patient matching prototype that is designed around rare disease patients’ needs and demonstrate that (in comparison to two search engines) our application shows greater potential to: aid clinical experiences; facilitate empathetic support networks; and provide better facilitation of information-seeking. All of these contributions stem from a critical examination of the experiences that rare disease patients go through on their journeys towards diagnosis and aim to pave the way for future research within this area.
A LEGALIZAÇÃO QUILOMBOLA: UMA HISTÓRIA AINDA A SER CONTADA
Authors: Franco Clareana Maria Guimarães , Sousa Diego Neves de , Ferreira Palloma Rosa
Published: July 2024

A Constituição Federal de 1988 reconheceu os direitos das comunidades remanescentes de quilombos a partir do art. 68 do Ato das Disposições Constitucionais Transitórias (ADCT), no qual foi afirmado que comunidades tradicionais têm direito ao território que ocupam e que deve o Estado atribuir-lhes os títulos apropriados. Conjunto a isso o Decreto n° 4.887/2003 veio a regulamentar a questão de reconhecimento, delimitação, demarcação e titulação dos quilombos, rompendo paradigmas quanto o direito à propriedade privada para o direito ao território coletivo. Diante disso, a política de titulação foi criada a fim de regularizar as terras quilombolas, neste sentido, a presente análise é uma revisão bibliométrica que trata o levantamento de publicações sobre a legalização quilombola no estado do Tocantins, observando o que se encontrou sobre a temática pouco discutida, embora bastante relevante e que levantou fonte para cotas e demais políticas de melhoria de povos remanescentes, contudo, deixou para trás o principal, a legalização e reconhecimento de quilombos. Entre os resultados encontrados verificou-se a falta de informação de como ocorre a legalização do território, como o processo funciona e o tempo estimado para a conclusão. Também elucidou que apenas 25 comunidades se encontram legalizadas no estado do Tocantins, bem como que poucas políticas públicas chegam a essas comunidades.

Published: July 2024

The research was conducted during August to November, 2020 at the Department of Plant Biotechnology and Dryland Farming Unit, University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS), Gandhi Krishi Vigyana Kendra (GKVK), Bengaluru, Karnataka, India to validate the identified SSR markers associated with resistance to yellow mosaic diseases of cowpea using different genotypes. 120 germplasm lines cowpea were used for the study including two check varieties (IC-202781 and V-585). Disease scoring scale by Diwakar and Mali (1976) was used for the disease scoring. Among 120 genotypes, 52 genotypes with moderately resistance, 28 genotypes with no disease symptoms, 15 genotypes with resistance, 14 genotypes with moderately susceptible, 11 genotypes with susceptible and no highly susceptible genotypes were observed.  These germplasms were screened using four simple sequences repeat markers (SSR)  specific to Bean common mosaic virus and four SSR markers specific to cowpea yellow mosaic virus were selected from the existing databases. Out of the four SSR marker linked to BCMV tested for validation, only three markers (M15, M80, and Y 96) gave the desired amplification. Single marker analysis (SMA) revealed that out of four SSR markers, MA15 marker explains 3.96% of phenotypic variation, among 4 SSR markers linked to CYMV, only two markers (VM1 and AG1/AF48383) gave the desired amplification. SMA revealed that out of two SSR markers, AG1/AF48383 marker explains 3.80% of phenotypic variation. The resistant genotypes identified in this investigation can be used in future breeding programmes for introgression of disease resistant traits in important competitive varieties in the market.

Authors: Hernández Marí Gloria del Jesús , Yon Guzmán Silvia Estela
Published: July 2024

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de un estudio cualitativo de investigación-acción-reflexión en el que se empleó un seminario como espacio para analizar la obra El segundo sexo de Simone de Beauvoir con el fin de fomentar un pensamiento crítico sobre la construcción de la mujer. Los ejes de análisis se dividieron en cuatro dimensiones: biológica, sociocultural, psicológica y profesional. Los participantes en este proceso investigativo fueron 27 estudiantes de la licenciatura en Educación (CINE 6). Para el desarrollo se plantearon preguntas reflexivas como las siguientes: ¿qué significa ser mujer?, ¿cómo se llega a ser mujer?, ¿por qué se mantienen ciertos prejuicios o estereotipos?, y ¿cuál es el propósito de su existencia? Estas cuestiones cognitivas se integraron en las cuatro fases de la investigación: 1) análisis, diálogo y reflexión teórica; 2) exploración de la situación personal; 3) reflexión sobre lo actual y lo ideal, y 4) formulación de un plan de acción hacia la libertad y la trascendencia. Los resultados revelaron que la etapa más desafiante de la vida de las mujeres es la adultez temprana, etapa donde se presentan miedos relacionados con el actuar y el ser. En tal sentido, más del 42 % de las estudiantes admitieron haberse adaptado a los estándares sociales o familiares para continuar con sus estudios, mientras que el 33 % asoció la feminidad con tareas como la maternidad, el cuidado del hogar y la preocupación por la apariencia. A través de un análisis crítico y colaborativo se identificaron y evaluaron los estereotipos presentes en cada relato, lo que permitió la elaboración de planes de acción individuales. Estos planes estaban diseñados para que las estudiantes pudieran establecer metas progresivas con el fin alcanzar una autonomía intelectual, emocional y económica que les permitiera tomar decisiones conscientes y libres.

Published: July 2024

A signifi cant number of pregnant women suff er from constipation, which tends to worsen as pregnancy progresses. Chronicconstipation worsens the course of pregnancy and may require emergency surgery with possible negative consequences for thefetus and the woman. The negative impact of constipation during pregnancy can be reduced by eliminating the manifestation ofsymptoms before it. The recommended surgical procedure is total colectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) of pregnant women with chronic slow transit constipation (CSTC) after conservative versus surgical treatment. Method: Between 2017 and 2022, a comprehensive study was conducted on 46 women with CSTC that was resistant to conservative treatment. Among them, 22 patients underwent surgery (group M), while 24 patients received conservative treatment (group C). Quality of life was assessed using the SF-36 scale before treatment, 90 days after treatment initiation, and during each trimester of pregnancy.Rezalts: After treatment, physical QoL was comparable between groups (47.92±3.7 vs. 45.99±4.71), whereas mental QoL was signifi cantly higher in the surgical group (50.59±2.79 vs. 46.94±4.85, p=0.009). In the second trimester, the surgical group had signifi cantly higher physical QoL than the non-surgical group (43.9±2.4 vs. 40.5±2.6, p = 0.029). In the third trimester, both physical (39.3±3.6 vs. 29.7±5.1, p = 0.003) and mental (51.7±2.5 vs. 40.5±6.3, p = 0.003) QoL scores were signifi cantly higher in the surgical group.Conclusions: Compared with conservative therapy, colectomy improves the quality of life of pregnant women with CSTC, suggesting that it is a safe and eff ective treatment option before pregnancy.

The article presents the results of a review of the literature on the problem and attempts to give an assessment of the existing forecasting methods to describe the problem fi eld of the system of physical rehabilitation of people with dysfunction of the pelvic organs as a result of spinal cord injury. The research used theoretical analysis and synthesis, comparison of methods, documentary method. It was revealed that the main areas of research in the fi eld of rehabilitation of people with spinal cord injuries include: rehabilitation in acute injuries, medical rehabilitation, rehabilitation interventions during spa treatment, rehabilitation process and implementation of new approaches to it. The insuffi ciently improved system of rehabilitation of people with pelvic organs dysfunction as a result of spinal cord injuries at remote stages of treatment requires search and introduction of modern, mobile, accessible and eff ective forms and programs of active rehabilitation. Effi ciency of rehabilitation depends on rational coordination of many specialists. It actualizes the issue of work of multidisciplinary teams in medical institutions providing both primary care of such patients and their support throughout the rehabilitation process. It is emphasized that the process of rehabilitation and social adaptation of patients with pelvic organs dysfunction as a result of spinal cord injuries should include appropriate rehabilitation measures and technologies that would adapt the patient to everyday, domestic and professional conditions by improving the quality of life. It is proved that this problem is still relevant and the issue of integrated use of rehabilitation measures in the process of rehabilitation treatment requires new scientifi c developments that will help to reduce the number of negative consequences of the disease that aff ect the quality of life of patients. At the present stage there is a need for further research on the development of predictive factors of the level of functional recovery of the pelvic organs in patients with spinal cord injury, which will be the basis for choosing the strategy of rehabilitation measures and technologies to ensure the optimal correlation of the costs of the health system and the eff ectiveness of rehabilitation measures in terms of improving the quality of life of patients.

The international epidemic of coronavirus disorder (COVID-19) has precipitated hundreds of thousands of losses and influenced the living of numerous more individuals. Primary and fast discovery of COVID-19 is a difficult undertaking for the clinical public; however, it is additionally essential in ending the unfolding of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Former confirmation of synthetic talent (AI) in more than a few arenas of knowledge has motivated scholars to in addition tackle this problem. Numerous clinical imaging modalities consisting of X-ray, computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound (US) the usage of AI methods had considerably aided to limit the COVID-19 burst via supporting initial identification. We did a methodical evaluation of the latest AI methods implemented with X-ray, CT, and US photographs to become aware of COVID-19. Within this study, we talk about procedures applied via more than a few researchers and the magnitude of those lookup labors, the manageable challenges, and forthcoming traits associated with the application of an AI gadget for sickness recognition at some stage in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Brucella suis TANUVAS_1 was isolated from a case of porcine abortion and whole genome sequenced. In the present study, comparative genomics of B. suis strains (n=33), including the newly sequenced strain TANUVAS_1 was carried out for accurate discrimination of the biovars. To alleviate the problems associated with conventional biovar identification techniques, a whole genome-based approach was used in the present study. The whole genome phylogeny of B. suis clearly differentiated strains on the basis of biovars. A total of 43 virulence genes were predicted, of which the btpA gene was present in only 14 strains, whereas the wbkA gene was absent in 19 strains. Multi locus sequence typing (MLST) analysis showed 5 different sequence types (14, 15, 16, 17 and 19) and the maximum number of strains belonged to ST14. There were 6 different STs assigned on the basis of core genome MLST, and the maximum number of strains belonged to ST50. Pangenome analysis of the strains showed that a total of 1948 genes (30.47%) were core genes and 4445 genes (69.53%) were accessory genes, suggesting that the B. suis genome has an open pan genomic structure. SNP analysis revealed 17 biovar 1 specific SNPs, 2142 biovar 2 specific SNPs, 673 biovar 3 specific SNPs, 714 biovar 4 specific SNPs and 2308 biovar 5 specific SNPs. The results show that cgMLST can be used for accurate discrimination of strains on the basis of biovars. Similarly, biovar specific SNPs can be employed for developing molecular assays that can discriminate biovars.

A total of 100 commercial market pigs were randomly allocated to two stunning treatments: carbon dioxide (CO2) and electrical stunning, at a commercial abattoir. The effects of the two stunning methods on pig stress and meat quality were measured. Blood lactate and cortisol, and postmortem pH (pH45 min; pH24 h), temperature (T45 min), drip loss and sensory color for the longissimus dorsi, pars lumbalis, were determined. After electrical stunning, pH45 min and pH24 h was lower than after CO2 stunning (P<0.05), and T45 min was higher (P<0.01). There was no effect (P>0.05) of stunning on drip loss 24 h and 48 h post-mortem, or sensory color, or on stress parameters, lactate and cortisol. However, individual animal variations of stress markers within the slaughter batch were very high, and their average concentrations indicated high levels of stress. From the perspective of animal welfare and protection, both stunning methods should be conducted properly, according to the defined procedures to minimize stress and to assure adequate meat quality.
