Body dimension comparisons between slick and wild type-haired Puerto Rican Holsteins
Authors: Sánchez-Rodríguez Héctor L. 
Published: May 2020

A previous study from our group evaluating growth in dairy heifers suggests that Puerto Rican Holstein slick-haired heifers (SLICK) could reach maturity earlier and at smaller body size than their wild type-haired (WT) counterparts. Thus, the present study aimed to determine if such differences exist in mature cows by comparing several body dimensions (i.e., body weight, withers height, hip height, thoracic perimeter, barrel, and shoulder to pin bone distance) of 24 SLICK and 54 WT lactating Holstein cows at the Agricultural Experiment Station in Lajas, Puerto Rico. Also, body weight was divided by each dimension to obtain the respective ratios. Data were analyzed by the GLIMMIX procedure of SAS. The SLICK cows presented larger barrels (236.54±2.68 vs. 231.06±2.29 cm; P=0.0363) and body weight / shoulder to pin bone distance (3.51±0.09 vs. 3.32±0.08 kg/cm; P=0.0218) than their WT counterparts. However, the shoulder to pin bone distance was smaller in SLICK than in WT cows (180.07±1.82 vs. 185.20±1.56 cm; P=0.0059). No significant differences between hair coat groups were observed in any other evaluated variable. The SLICK cows had shorter and deeper bodies than WT cows. Future studies should evaluate if such differences could impact their productive efficiencies.
Thermoregulatory and productive-related comparisons between wild type and slickhaired Puerto Rican Holstein cows
Authors: Sánchez-Rodríguez Héctor L. 
Published: May 2020

Anecdotally, wild type (WT) Puerto Rican Holstein cows perform poorly in hot weather compared with their short-haired (SLICK) counterparts, but scientific evidence supporting this claim is limited. Thus, comparisons of their vaginal temperature (VT), sweat gland size (SGS) and milk production (MP) values were made. Data were analyzed by Proc GLIMMIX and REG (SAS). During the cool season (March 2014) VT was similar in WT and SLICK cows (38.71±0.09 and 38.71±0.08 °C, respectively; P=0.9634). However, in the intermediate air temperatures (AT) season (April 2014), WT cows presented VT values 0.25° C higher than their SLICK counterparts from 1900-2100h (P=0.0213). Moreover, in the hot season (August 2015) VT was greater in WT than in SLICK cows by 0.31° C from 1800-0700h and 0900-1600h (P=0.0032), and by 0.20° C at 0800h (P=0.0584) and 1700h (P=0.0619). The VT increased linearly until AT reached 30.5° C in both WT (0.10° C per 1° C of AT; P<0.0001) and SLICK cows (0.08° C per 1° C of AT; P<0.0001). After 30.5° C, no further VT-AT relationship was observed. The WT had smaller SGS (232±12 vs. 315±9 μm perimeter; P=0.0024) and smaller MP (17.11±0.63 vs. 20.26±1.28 kg/d; P=0.0288) than the SLICK cows. The SLICK cows demonstrated superior thermoregulatory capacity, which seems to depend directly on the severity of the AT.

The world of ministry in Indonesia is very diverse with many of tribes, cultures and languages​​. Often minstersare faced with many obstacles, one being cultural barriers or customs that often clash with the demands of the Gospel. There are three principles in addressing the culture or customs that we should remember, namely: there are culture values and customs that can be retained, there are culture values and customs that need to be modified and aligned with biblical teaching, but there is also a cultural values and customs that must be rejected as contrary to the truth of the gospel . Among the Komering people group, for example, there is an existing tribal custom called "Angkan - angkanan" that welcomes outsider into the community as if they are family; and this is an effective way for cross-cultural servant to enter and gain the audience of the tribe.

Published: May 2020

La intención de este estudio fue indagar, describir, interpretar y reflexionar intersubjetivamente los sentires y vivencias de la inclusión educativa de las personas sordas en la educación superior, para trascender a una cosmovisión pedagógica holística. Epistemológicamente se asumió un enfoque introspectivo-vivencial, bajo el paradigma interpretativo y el método fenomenológico hermenéutico con las fases (Van Manen, 2003): recoger, reflexionar y escribir-reflexionar la experiencia vivida. Los versionantes fueron dos estudiantes sordos y tres docentes. Se utilizó la observación y la entrevista conversacional, y de instrumento el diario de campo. En la interpretación se empleó el análisis de contenido con la codificación, categorización abierta y axial, legitimado mediante el contacto prolongado, observación persistente, triangulación y saturación. La cosmovisión universal de la diversidad humana en la Educación Superior tendrá el potencial para trascender desde el servicio y el amor, convocada a replantear sus propósitos universales en el nacimiento de un modelaje humanístico inclusivo direccionado a la atención educativa bio-psico-socio-espiritual del estudiante sordo.

Published: May 2020

El presente ensayo plantea reflexionar y analizar sobre algunas construcciones resultativas de la gramática española y su equivalente al inglés basado en un ámbito de interpretación. Se parte de la importancia de enfocarse en el estudio de las construcciones resultativas, comenzando de su definición general, demostrando su existencia en la lengua española y en la lengua inglesa, y se explicará por qué hay más productividad en la lengua inglesa que en la española, analizando los rasgos sintácticos, semánticos y pragmáticos, el significado global de la construcción y las clases semánticas de los verbos más recurrentes en las mismas. Finalmente, al igual que ocurre con los verbos calificados como realizaciones, existen sustantivos verbales que, dependiendo de la construcción en la que se realicen, denotan el desarrollo del evento y la obtención efectiva de su estado o lugar final.

Телесная идентичность в системе самосознания индивида
Authors: Dzialoshinskii Iosif M. 
Published: May 2020

В статье поднимается проблема трансформации личностной идентичности под влиянием современных масс-медиа. Актуальность этой проблемы обусловлена очевидным расхождением между существующими теориями идентичности, согласно которым идентичность рассматривается как устойчивое представление о самотождественности, и реальной практикой наших современников, характерной особенностью которых является стремление к демонстративной трансформации как внешности, так и особенностей идентичности.
Целью исследования является определение места телесной идентичности в системе личностной идентичности и тенденций трансформации телесного самообраза. Анализ процессов трансформации телесных самообразов у наших современников позволил доказать, что основным драйвером этих процессов являются масс-медиа.
Исследование дает основание сформулировать вывод о том, что телесная идентичность представляет собой комплекс знаков, выступающих в роли фильтров восприятия действительности, и маркеров, определяющих отношение к воспринятым явлениям. В других терминах: идентичность есть дискурс, определяющий личную, групповую и мегагрупповую коммуникацию. Если в прошлые века основными субъектами, которые участвовали в формировании идентичности развивающейся личности, были – помимо личного опыта – семья, церковь, улица, школа, предлагавшие достаточно гомогенные телесные образы, то современные медиа демонстрируют множество противоречивых вариантов телесной идентичности, вынуждая индивида каждый раз подстраиваться под новые требования.
Статья предназначена для исследователей современных медиа.

Abstract. Serious urban ozone (O3) pollution was observed during the campaign of
2016 G20 summit in Hangzhou, China, while other pollutants had been
significantly reduced by the short-term emission control measures. To
understand the underlying mechanism, the Weather Research Forecast with
Chemistry (WRF-Chem) model is used to investigate the spatial and temporal
O3 variations in Hangzhou from 24 August to 6 September 2016. The
model is first successfully evaluated and validated for local and regional
meteorological and chemical parameters by using the ground and upper-air
level observed data. High ozone concentrations, temporally during most of the daytime emission control period and spatially from the surface to the
top of the planetary boundary layer, are captured in Hangzhou and even the
whole Yangtze River Delta region. Various atmospheric processes are further analyzed to
determine the influential factors of local ozone formation through the
integrated process rate method. Interesting horizontal and vertical
advection circulations of O3 are observed during several short
periods, and the effects of these processes are nearly canceled out. As a
result, ozone pollution is mainly attributed to the local photochemical
reactions that are not obviously influenced by the emission reduction
measures. The ratio of reduction of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) to
that of NOx is a critical parameter that needs to be carefully considered for future alleviation of ozone formation. In addition, the vertical diffusion from the upper-air background O3 also plays an important role in shaping the surface ozone concentration. These results provide insight into urban O3 formation in Hangzhou and support the Model Intercomparison Study Asia Phase III (MICS-Asia Phase III).

Abstract. NASA's Deriving Information on Surface Conditions from Column and Vertically Resolved Observations Relevant to Air Quality (DISCOVER-AQ, conducted in 2011–2014) campaign in the United States and the joint NASA and National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER) Korea–United States Air Quality Study (KORUS-AQ, conducted in 2016) in South Korea were two field study programs that provided comprehensive, integrated datasets of airborne and surface observations of atmospheric constituents, including nitrogen dioxide (NO2), with the goal of improving the interpretation of spaceborne remote sensing data. Various types of NO2 measurements were made, including in situ concentrations and column amounts of NO2 using ground- and aircraft-based instruments, while NO2 column amounts were being derived from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on the Aura satellite. This study takes advantage of these unique datasets by first evaluating in situ data taken from two different instruments on the same aircraft platform, comparing coincidently sampled profile-integrated columns from aircraft spirals with remotely sensed column observations from ground-based Pandora spectrometers, intercomparing column observations from the ground (Pandora), aircraft (in situ vertical spirals), and space (OMI), and evaluating NO2 simulations from coarse Global Modeling Initiative (GMI) and high-resolution regional models. We then use these data to interpret observed discrepancies due to differences in sampling and deficiencies in the data reduction process. Finally, we assess satellite retrieval sensitivity to observed and modeled a priori NO2 profiles. Contemporaneous measurements from two aircraft instruments that likely sample similar air masses generally agree very well but are also found to differ in integrated columns by up to 31.9 %. These show even larger differences with Pandora, reaching up to 53.9 %, potentially due to a combination of strong gradients in NO2 fields that could be missed by aircraft spirals and errors in the Pandora retrievals. OMI NO2 values are about a factor of 2 lower in these highly polluted environments due in part to inaccurate retrieval assumptions (e.g., a priori profiles) but mostly to OMI's
large footprint (>312 km2).
Plasma antioxidants and oxidative stress status in obese women: correlation with cardiopulmonary response

Published: May 2020

Introduction
A high body fat coupled with low cardiopulmonary fitness and an increase in oxidative stress has been connoted as contributing factors in developing cardiovascular comorbidities. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between antioxidants and oxidative stress status with cardiopulmonary responses in women of different body mass index (BMI).

Subjects and Methods
Eighty female adults were recruited and divided into three groups; normal weight (n = 23), overweight (n = 28) and obese (n = 29), according to their BMI. Blood samples were obtained prior to cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Plasma samples were separated by centrifugation and analysed for enzymatic antioxidant activity including catalase, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase. Non-enzymatic antioxidant activities were assessed using 2, 2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging and ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) assays. To evaluate the oxidative stress status of subjects, levels of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, the by-product of lipid peroxidation, were measured. Cardiopulmonary responses were analysed using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) which involved 15 various parameters such as peak oxygen consumption, metabolic equivalents and respiratory exchange ratio.

Results
The obese group had significantly lower ABTS radical scavenging and FRAP activities than the normal weight group. A higher catalase activity was observed in the obese group than the normal weight group. Spearman’s correlation showed an inverse relationship between catalase and peak oxygen consumption, while partial correlation analysis showed inverse correlations between superoxide dismutase and respiratory frequency, ABTS activity and oxygen pulse, and between ABTS activity and cardiac output.

Conclusion
Our results demonstrate a lower cardiovascular fitness and antioxidant capacity in obese women; the higher catalase activity may be a compensatory mechanism. The negative correlations found between these two parameters may indicate the potential effect of antioxidants on the cardiopulmonary system and deserve further analysis in a larger population. Nevertheless, this study provides the basis for future studies to further explore the relationships between redox status and cardiopulmonary responses. This can potentially be used to predict future risk of developing diseases associated with oxidative stress, especially pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases.

Aims: The present study relates to the hygienic status of medicinal plants sold on markets of the district of Abidjan. This paper focused on Sarcocephalus latifolius used to treat various diseases such as Malaria.
Place and Duration of Study: The ethnobotanical survey was conducted during November 2017, on the Siaka Koné market in Abobo. The microbiology study was carried out at “InstitutPasteur de Côte d’Ivoire”.
Methodology: A semi-structured interview was used during the survey. Germs were isolated and microbial load counted from aqueous extracts (maceration) of collected samples of stem bark using standard bacteriology methods. Investigations were also made on control sample collected in the Savannah at Lamto reserve (Toumodi).
Results: 86% of the plants sold on this market are not well maintained. In fact, 53% of plant organs are stored outdoors on pieces of brick exposed to dust, air humidity and car exhaust. While 20% are under black tarpaulins or stored in dilapidated stores away from light and 13% in bags in open air. To confirm our survey, Sarcocepha luslatifolius was selected from the highest frequency of citations for performing microbiological tests. The number of total coliforms ranged from 1.3×103 to 9.2×107 CFU/g plant, the mean value of total coliforms was 4.7×105 CFU/g, that of mesophilic aerobic germs from 8.1×103 to 5.1×105 CFU/g of plants, the average value of mesophilic aerobic germs was 1.2×105 CFU/g. The presence of Streptococcus, Pseudomonas and Escherichia coli was observed respectively on 93.33%, 16.67% and 3.33% of the samples collected.
Conclusion: Medicinal plants sold and stored under current market conditions are potentially dangerous to health.

AbstractVacancy engineering has been proved repeatedly as an adoptable strategy to boost electrocatalysis, while its poor selectivity restricts the usage in nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) as overwhelming competition from hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Revealed by density functional theory calculations, the selenium vacancy in ReSe2 crystal can enhance its electroactivity for both NRR and HER by shifting the d‐band from −4.42 to −4.19 eV. To restrict the HER, we report a novel method by burying selenium vacancy‐rich ReSe2@carbonized bacterial cellulose (Vr‐ReSe2@CBC) nanofibers between two CBC layers, leading to boosted Faradaic efficiency of 42.5 % and ammonia yield of 28.3 μg h−1 cm−2 at a potential of −0.25 V on an abrupt interface. As demonstrated by the nitrogen bubble adhesive force, superhydrophilic measurements, and COMSOL Multiphysics simulations, the hydrophobic and porous CBC layers can keep the internal Vr‐ReSe2@CBC nanofibers away from water coverage, leaving more unoccupied active sites for the N2 reduction (especially for the potential determining step of proton‐electron coupling and transferring processes as *NN → *NNH).
