African swine fever virus – the possible role of flies and other insects in virus transmission
Authors: Fila Mateusz , Woźniakowski Grzegorz 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
African swine fever (ASF) is an acute viral haemorrhagic disease of pigs and wild boars. It presents a serious threat to pig production worldwide, and since 2007, ASF outbreaks have been recorded in the Caucasus, Eastern Europe, and the Baltic States. In 2014, the disease was detected in Poland. ASF is on the list of notifiable diseases of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). Due to the lack of an available vaccine and treatment, the countermeasures against the disease consist in early detection of the virus in the pig population and control of its spread through the elimination of herds affected by disease outbreaks. Knowledge of the potential vectors of the virus and its persistence in the environment is crucial to prevent further disease spread and to understand the new epidemiology for how it compares to the previous experience in Spain gathered in the 1970s and 1980s.
Non-antibiotic possibilities in prevention and treatment of calf diarrhoea

Published: January 2020

Abstract
Due to increasing bacterial antibiotic resistance and the consumers’ tendency to choose organic products, cattle farmers are interested in alternative methods of calf diarrhoea treatment. This is a major challenge for veterinarians. Few methods of non-antibiotic treatment that bring satisfactory results have been reported in the related literature so far. In this article, the authors compare different non-antibiotic methods of diarrhoea prevention and treatment in calves. Among the alternatives discussed are herbs, probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics, lactoferrin, and bacteriophages. It was found that the best results could be achieved through the use of pro-, pre- and synbiotics. However, the authors would like to point out that with the expansion of knowledge about the practical use of broad-scale bacteriophages, they could be the best alternative to antibiotics.

Published: January 2020

Le génie a longtemps été un domaine d'études et de carrières réservé aux hommes [29]. Nous menons une étude pancanadienne auprès d’ingénieurEs et de futurEs ingénieurEs, sur leur conception du génie et l’importance qu'elles et ils accordent à la contribution des femmes au génie. Il s'agit d'une étude féministe inspirée du modèle de Cronin et Roger [7] qui consiste en des entrevues semi-structurées réalisées jusque-là auprès de 70 participantEs.
Selon ces participantEs, les femmes apportent des perspectives qui tendent à améliorer la condition humaine et seraient plus ancrées à travailler sur des questions d’intérêts féminins. L’étude permet ainsi de mettre en évidence les contributions uniques des femmes en génie à la valorisation de la recherche, aux innovations technologiques tout en encourageant une meilleure participation des femmes en génie.
MIROIR, MIROIR? COMMENT PUIS-JE ME RATTRAPER POUR ENGAGER DES JEUNES EN GÉNIE?

En Amérique du Nord, le besoin d’une relève d’élèves qui souhaite poursuivre des carrières en STIM est criant [3, 38, 48]. Les gouvernements de plusieurs pays, incluant le Canada, ont donc réalisé l’importance de l’enseignement en STIM et il est devenu évident qu’il y a un manque de compréhension de ce dernier [29].
Afin de faire avancer l’enseignement du génie dans les cours de sciences et mathématiques, nous avons mené une auto-ethnographie sur notre expérience comme enseignante de sciences et de mathématiques au palier secondaire. Nous sommes fières d’avoir été capables d’engager des élèves d’une diversité de genres aux activités d’apprentissage en STIM. Pourtant, nos activités ont été concentrées sur les sciences, les technologies et les mathématiques plutôt que sur l’ingénierie; une pratique qui doit changer afin d’inciter plus d’élèves à se diriger dans cette profession [42].
PEER TUTORING IN A PROJECT-BASED COURSE PART 2: THE SECOND YEAR OF IMPLEMENTATION - IMPROVEMENTS AND BENEFITS
Authors: Brousseau Jean , Sano-Gélinas Andrée , Méthot Jean-François 
Published: January 2020

In Fall 2017, a peer-tutoring program (PTP) was implemented in a first-year multidisciplinary design course of the mechanical, electrical and electromechanical engineering programs at Université du Québec à Rimouski. Fourth-year students with relevant design experience acted as tutors for teams of first-year students. The intent was to reduce the pressure on our professional staff, while maintaining the quality of supervision.
PTP assessment revealed that all stakeholders appreciated the experience. At low cost, it allowed more weekly hours of supervision and freed up time for professional staff to perform tasks requiring their expertise. Although the impact of the PTP on the quality of learning was not directly measured, the student level of satisfaction was very high. However, the teaching team concluded from PTP assessment results that tutors could have more impact on teamwork and team spirit if they were better prepared. Four main areas for improvement of the PTP have been identified. Modifications for improvement of the PTP were developed as follows. Tutor training was modified to include content on teamwork, group dynamics and conflict resolution. To enhance communication between tutors and teaching team, tutors were provided with a new week-by-week guide outlining project planning and giving tutors instructions for structuring team discussions. Tutors participated in a professional co-development session in the fifth week of the project, an activity that allowed tutors to learn from each other and improve their practice. Lastly, the assessment questionnaire was improved to collect more significant data on student learning and teamwork.
The new assessment results reveal that the changes made to the PTP have had a very positive influence on teamwork and group dynamics. Results also indicate that the improved PTP has a positive impact on achievement of course objectives. In conclusion, peer tutoring is evidently a very good strategy for supporting first-year students in the development of their design skills.

Published: January 2020

Student mental health and well-being are increasingly a focus of post-secondary institutions across Canada. Many academic institutions have opted to offer a fall reading week as a means of reducing student stress and improving their mental health. This paper presents a review of the academic research that has been done to study the impact of a fall reading week on students’ mental health and wellbeing. The paper also presents the status of the fall reading break in the top 30 Canadian Universities.
Based on the results of this research, the authors have developed a proposal of introducing a fall reading week at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus (UBCO). The proposal has been accepted in concept by the Provost’s Office as well as by the Senate’s Academic Policy Committee for possible implementation.
CAD / ARDUINO INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOPS IN FIRST YEAR ENGINEERING PROJECT-BASED COURSE A WAY TO GET STUDENTS TO DESIGN AND BUILD HIGH QUALITY PROTOTYPES
Authors: Méthot Jean-François , Brousseau Jean 
Published: January 2020

As educators, there are several challenges that we need to overcome during the first-year of our engineering programs. We need to integrate students into the world of engineering and introduce them on practical aspects. We have to connect them with basic notions in various engineering fields and complementary disciplines. We have to start developing their design skills and make them able to conduct design projects despite an undeveloped level of knowledge. We want to make them able to design and build high-quality prototypes.
At UQAR, the solution goes through a multi-disciplinary project-based course offered at the first term. This course brings together students from mechanical, electrical and electromechanical engineering programs which makes possible to form teams of students with varied skills from different backgrounds (technical and natural sciences).
In 2018, the proposed project was the production of a stand-alone and collaborative mobile platform. This platform or robot receives an order for an item, picks up and transports a shelf to the deposit station, delivers the item, returns the shelf to its place and returns to the starting position, all while avoiding obstacles on the way.
To fulfill such an ambitious mandate, basic notions of CAD, electronics and programming are needed. Our innovation is the introduction of workshops at the beginning of the term. Workshops are an important part of our recipe to enable students to overcome the design challenge.
The mechanical workshops include four sessions related to mechanical CAD (modelling, sheet metal, assembly and drawing) and 3D printing.
Arduino workshops include three sessions on how to use the Arduino IDE programming environment and incorporate some programming notions. Specialized material was produced concerning the introduction to microcontrollers and the Arduino platform. A set of specialized parts was provided to the students. Several demonstration examples and activities have been produced on digital inputs and outputs, analog inputs, pulse width modulation outputs, ultrasonic distance sensing, DC motors and H-bridges, servomotors, tracking sensors lines, wireless communication modules, mini-keyboards and LCDs.
The workshops support the projects directly and allow students to carry out relatively complex projects in the first year despite their limited engineering knowledge.

Published: January 2020

Farm animals in the immediate vicinity of damaged nuclear facilities (Chernobyl, Fukushima), may be affected by an external radiation dose and a radiation dose from internal contamination. In the experiment, pigs weighing 30 kg were exposed to a full body irradiation (60Co) at a dose of 0.5 Gy. Samples from longissimus dorsi muscles at the last rib and semimembranosus muscles were collected. No significant differences of monitored meat colour indicators L*, a*, b*, C*, ΔE*, pH value, (45 min and 24 hpost mortem) lactic acid concentration, water content and fat content (24 hpost mortem) and drip loss indicators (24 and 48 hpost mortembetween the experimental and control group (10 and 10 pigs, respectively) were observed. If there is no internal contamination, and external radiation dose does not exceed 0.5 Gy, pigs from the affected area may be used for slaughter purposes. The results show that oxidative stress resulting from exposure to this dose of ionizing radiation does not affect the meat quality.
Intersecciones de identidad de género, personas trans, migración, trabajo sexual y su relación con la trata de seres humanos
Authors: Maldonado Vivar Sebastián , Erices Riquelme Samuel 
Published: January 2020

El presente artículo aborda la relevancia de considerar las intersecciones de identidad de género, personas trans, migración, trabajo sexual y su relación con la trata de seres humanos, a través de la experiencia de trabajo de campo realizado entre 2015 y 2018 con el Sindicato chileno de trabajadoras sexuales Trans “Amanda Jofré Cerda”.
Se pretende visibilizar este fenómeno poco abordado, a partir de los hallazgos evidenciados en el trabajo de campo. Su desarrollo teórico expone las dicotomías del marco normativo chileno, la ausencia del enfoque de derechos humanos, la crítica Constitución, que no representa la protección de los mismos, y la necesidad de las personas trans de asociarse en espacios comunes desde la perspectiva de la asociatividad, vinculada al fenómeno de la trata de seres humanos. El artículo también examina la invisibilización de las víctimas transexuales, destacando la interseccionalidad como un enfoque aplicado al abordaje de problemáticas sociales vinculadas con los derechos humanos, y visibilizando a las víctimas de trata trans, cuyo delito se oculta al tratarse de personas que, históricamente, no han sido reconocidas como una identidad de género dentro de las culturas y países patriarcales de América del Sur.
El escrito finaliza con una serie de conclusiones contemporáneas que subrayan las necesidades de las víctimas de trata trans, las cuales exhiben una fuerte relación entre la interseccionalidad, las relaciones de poder y la vulneración de derechos a la que se encuentran expuestas.

Larvicidal effects of distilled water, 50% ethyl alcohol, acetone and methanol extracts on seed of four plants viz. Sinapis alba (Linn.), Carica papaya (Linn.), Momordica charantia (Linn.) and Capsicum annuum (Linn.) were studied upon the mosquito larvae of Anopheles annularis Vander Wulp and Culex quinquefasciatus Say under normal laboratory conditions with average temperature and relative humidity of 31.1oC and 57.6%, respectively. Percentage mortality, probit mortality, chi-square and ANOVA values for the larvae, extracts and concentrations were calculated for 24 hours exposure period. Mortality was dose dependent. The values of LC50 of the seeds of S. alba on An. annularis at the application doses for the distilled water, 50% ethyl alcohol, acetone and methanol extracts were 3431.791, 1038.363, 1254.810 and 2269.975 ppm, respectively; for C. papaya were 804.008, 403.294, 597.165 and 573.241 ppm, respectively; for M. charantia were 10593.241, 5017.710, 5650.191 and 6075.204 ppm, respectively; and for C. annuum were 1274.968, 4637.201, 1604.852 and 1905.692 ppm, respectively. The values of LC50 of S. alba seeds on Cx. quinquefasciatus at the application doses for the distilled water, 50% ethyl alcohol, acetone and methanol extracts were 1415.311, 432.996, 569.701 and 770.250 ppm, respectively; for C. papaya were 705.599, 385.688, 341.003 and 481.067 ppm, respectively; for M. charantia were 7764.154, 4496.464, 5353.759 and 5825.031 ppm, respectively; and for C. annuum were 2173.631, 1311.538, 78.748 and 182.869 ppm, respectively. Of the four plant seed extracts, C. papaya seed extracts were the most toxic for both the mosquito species.

Authors: Jannat M , Kamruzzaman M , Hossain MA , Hossain MK 
Published: January 2020

The study was conducted to explore tree species diversity of Renikhayong para Village Common Forest (VCF) of Bandarban hill district. Stratified random sampling was carried out to assess the tree species diversity of the VCF. Renikhayong Para VCF with an area of 40 acres of land has more than 85 tree species belonging to 31 families, where Euphorbiaceae family was dominant containing 11 species followed by Rubiaceae (7 species), Moraceae (7 species), Meliaceae (5 species), Mimosaceae (5 species), Combretaceae (4 species), Lauraceae (4 species) and Anacardiaceae (3 species). Dominant tree species was Grewia nervosa. Renikhayong para VCF has diverse floristic resources that are known from the Shannon-Wiener’s diversity index (4.007), Simpson’s diversity index (0.028), Margalef’s richness index (13.21) and Species evenness index (0.90). However, number of species and number of individuals both were highest in the height range of 5 - <10 m. Similar trend was observed in dbh classes. Number of individuals were highest in dbh range of 5 - <15 cm and the lowest in ≥ 55 cm. The results depict the presence of maximum small trees in the VCF and decreasing the number of trees with the increase of tree height (m) and dbh (cm). Presence of diverse tree species and diversity indices indicate the importance and potential of the VCF for conservation and sustainable use.

Genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance of some yield contributing characters in lablab bean (Lablab purpureus L. Sweet)
Authors: Afsan N , Roy AK 
Published: January 2020

Eleven genotypes of lablab bean were put into trial in four consecutive years to evaluate genetic variability among characters. Genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variability, heritability and genetic advance as percent of mean were estimated for four yield contributing characters i.e. number of flowers per plant, number of pods per plant, average number of seed per pod and average pod weight (gm). The range of variation was highly pronounced in all the four characters. Without grouping the presence of wide range of variation in these characters indicate that they are quantitative in nature and are under polygenic in control. Mean with standard error showed differences between the varieties and co-efficient of variability in percentage (CV%) indicates certain degree of variability for the characters studied which are prerequisite in breeding research. Genotypes were found to be significantly different for all characters in analysis of variance. Low differences between PVC and GVC shows that these traits are less influenced by environment and the effect of heritable components were high. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean was recorded by number of flowers per plant, number of pods per plant and average pod weight (g) indicates additive action of genes controlling them.

Authors: Siddika T , Azad MAK , Sujan MH , Hasan MM 
Published: January 2020

This study aims to find out the present environmental status and issues that have emerged in the recent time due to change in human activities, resource extraction and human dependency on the forest. This study is based on both qualitative and quantitative approach with Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) tools and random sampling of 260 respondents, six focus group discussions (FGDs), six key informants interviews (KIIs). The result suggests that about 90% of poor and middle-classhouseholds are depended on the income from tourism, agriculture or boat riding activities. Both the local people and tourists’activities are responsible for decreasing environmental condition by plastic pollution, land cover and land use change, water follows control, road and building construction and violence of rules and regulation. The south and east boundaries, and the center of the forest are mainly facing land use and land cover changes between the years of 2005 to 2018. For sustainable management, local communities should be aware of the importance of swamp forest and have to find out alternative income sources to reduce pressure on swamp forest in terms of resources extraction and forest degradation.
