Abstract
Semen production data comprising of 55071 ejaculates of 144 bulls from Mehsana buffalo breed was analysed. The traits under study were semen volume, sperm concentration, initial sperm motility, post-thaw sperm motility and number of semen doses per ejaculate. The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of various factors affecting semen production traits and measure the semen production potential of Mehsana buffalo bulls. Data collected of semen production traits were analysed using linear mixed model, including a random effect of bull along with fixed effect of various non-genetic factors like farm, ejaculate number, season of birth, period of birth, season of semen collection and period of semen collection. First ejaculation had higher semen volume and sperm concentration resulted in to higher number of semen doses but semen quality was better in second ejaculation. Season of birth of the bull was affecting semen quality traits. As the period of birth advances semen volume increases whereas sperm concentration decreases which reflected in persistent production of number of semen doses per ejaculate. Monsoon and summer were favorable seasons for semen collection because of higher sperm concentration which resulted in to higher semen doses per ejaculate. Additionally, Monsoon collected semen had highest volume. Hence, monsoon followed by summer season would be the favorable season for semen collection. Period of semen collection affecting all the semen production traits under study but it did not have specific trend which means managemental and environmental changes over the period have sizable influence on the traits. Results of the study will help to plan future managemental practices and breeding strategies to improve semen production traits.

Published: August 2021

AbstractThis paper presents the numerical results of impulsive waves generated by landslides of solid block, granular materials and heavy block sinking. An impulse product parameter P is developed and a wide range of effective parameters are studied. The volume-of-fluid (VOF) and overset mesh methods have been used to study landslide-generated tsunamis. Also, a Lagrangian tracking approach coupled with the VOF to simulate the granular movement was developed. The effect of the water reservoir depth, the landslide height, the landslide density and the geometrical parameters on the wave height (elevation) has been investigated using the open-source OpenFOAM software. The results have been presented for dimensionless distances and the normalized geometry of the landslide in the ranges 5–7, and 1–2, respectively. These numbers have been normalized to the height of the landslide (a). According to the results of simulations, the tsunami formation process is divided into three stages, which were analyzed in detail by considering the interactions between the solid and the water reservoir. The Scott Russell wave has the highest impulse product parameter among the impulse wave mechanisms which is 58.6% of the total impulse production. In addition, the duration of the wave propagation has been computed based on the wave height.

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of VêO® premium and vitamin C (Vit. C) supplementation on lipid profile before and during pregnancy in local Iraqi ewes during heat stress. The study was conducted in a private field in Fallujah city, west Iraq, during the period from 6/8/2019 to 8/2/2020. Twenty local Iraqi ewes were divided randomly into four equal groups (5 for each group) The first group (T1) was given VêO® premium (4 g/ ewe/ day), the second group (T2) was given VêO® premium (2 g/ ewe/ day), and the third group (T3) was given Vit. C (40 mg/ ewe/ day), and the fourth group (T4) was left without treatment, as a control group. After 14 days of treatment, vaginal sponges were inserted for 14 days and, after their withdrawal, the rams were introduced for 6 days. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein into vacutainer tubes (10 ml) at 4 periods (periods 1 and 2 before pregnancy; periods 3 and 4 during pregnancy). Lipid profile parameters were also estimated, which includes cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), and malondialdehyde (MDA). There were no significant difference in the serum levels of cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, and LDL among the various treatments before and during pregnancy. The level of VLDL was significantly higher in T2 group as compared to the other treatments (P≤0.05) at the fourth periods. There was a significant difference in the level of MDA (P≤0.05) in treatment T3 in the first period compared with the treatments T1, T2, and T4, whereas treatment T4 showed significantly higher level (P≤0.05) in the second, third, and fourth periods as compared to treatments T1, T2, and T3.
In conclusion, different effects of VêO® premium and Vitamin C supplementation were noticed on the lipid profile before and during pregnancy in local Iraqi ewes during heat stress.

While Internet has been extremely advantageous in connecting people and providing a platform for expression of one’s views and opinions, on the other hand it has even at times lead to abuse of this platform by some necessitating legal regulation. Freedom of speech and expression being a fundamental right is legally enforceable even against the State and its agencies but the same can be legally restricted under certain ‘reasonable grounds’. This paper aims to analyse the existing law framework in this regard, with the object of identifying legal provisions which on one hand protects freedom of speech and expression on cyber space and on the other hand, the legal restrictions imposed for such freedom. Though the paper makes a brief assessment of the concerned legal aspect from international perspective in brief, it focuses largely on Indian law framework in this regard.

There is considered a problem of road traffic organization at crossroads under conditions of urban environment and outgoing highways. The urgency of the problem of automated traffic control with the information for vehicle drivers about traffic situation using both navigation systems and warning systems by means of signal transfer to radar-detectors is shown.
The investigation purpose consists in the development of automated self-regulated system of traffic lights control on the basis of vehicle number approaching to the traffic lights and vehicle driver warning about traffic jam approaching for the purpose of its going around.
In the paper there are solved problems regarding traffic capacity of a megapolis traffic system, driver warning about problem road situations and the automation of these processes. On the basis of the theory of automated control there is shown a developed system allowing the formation of a traffic passage by means of driver warning about traffic jam ahead. There are described thoroughly component parts of the system limiting only with the choice of components among prototypes available in the market.
A principle of automated traffic flow control at the crossroads supplied with the traffic lights is shown. There is shown a functional diagram of the interaction of system components for the successful traffic organization. The algorithm of the system automation functioning with its adjustment to certain time intervals of the effect of the enabling traffic light signal at a particular T-shaped or X-shaped intersection is described. The system developed for traffic control at intersections allows relieving considerably city streets. The analysis of the system has shown that traffic lights adaptive control allows decreasing traffic up to 70%. The application of domestic software components decreases system cost by 2-4 times as compared with foreign prototypes which, among other things, do not have the functional offered.
Imaginando nuevos vínculos en el Antropoceno: otras correspondencias e historias entre el bosque de alerces, las tejuelas y los humanos
Authors: Achondo Pedro Pablo 
Published: August 2021

El artículo propone, a través de un ejercicio de imaginación, nuevas posibilidades de comprensión y relación entre la vida humana y lo otro-que-humano. La crisis profunda en la que estamos inmersos, conceptualizada en términos del Antropoceno requiere una reflexión sobre la vida. Reflexión que ya no puede ser solamente al modo humanista ni científico-técnico, sino que requiere dialogar con otras epistemologías para reinterpretar las materialidades y los vínculos que construyen la vida humana sobre el planeta. Para ello se toma el caso de la tejuela de alerce, la que proveniente de los bosques de la Cordillera Pelada e instalada en el sur de Chile y narrada en sus múltiples interacciones nos conducen a una amplitud del pensar, del sentir y del conocer, a fin de cuentas, a una comprensión distinta del territorio. Es decir, a una lectura que ayude a reconducir el tiempo presente y enfrentar la crisis socioambiental de la mejor manera posible o, al menos, de una manera donde la imaginación y la creatividad jueguen un papel fundamental en la trama que llamamos coexistencia. Se presentan dos historias para enriquecer lo teóricamente discutido, de manera de ver materializada la imaginación y estimular otras prácticas y nuevas comprensiones de las alianzas multiespecie.
Territorialidades en disputa en comunas forestales: extractivismo forestal, políticas públicas y hegemonía.
Authors: Grosser Villar Günter 
Published: August 2021

Pese a la disminución de la tasa de pobreza en Chile durante los últimos 30 años, el denominado modelo chileno ha generado marcadas brechas estructurales entre territorios, lo que indica que el desarrollo solamente ha alcanzado algunos lugares de la geografía. En el caso de las regiones forestales, la relación entre desarrollo económico y crecimiento de la gran forestal ha estado en entredicho en la última década, lo que ha llevado a clasificar al sector forestal como un sector extractivo, pese a su condición de recurso renovable. Lo anterior ha motivado la configuración de diversos relatos referentes al territorio, los que transitan desde el rechazo hacia el sector forestal hasta la negociación y la aceptación de este. Este artículo se propone explorar las distintas territorialidades existentes en diez comunas forestales de la región centro-sur de Chile, empleando para ello un método cualitativo mediante el uso de teoría fundamentada, donde se triangula el análisis de reportes de sostenibilidad de las empresas forestales Arauco y CMPC con la aplicación de 17 entrevistas semiestructuradas a actores relevantes del territorio (militantes del movimiento mapuche, encargados de asuntos públicos de Arauco y CMPC y actores de la sociedad civil). Los resultados arrojan que se constituyen tres territorialidades, las cuales se disputan los significados asociados al territorio: una territorialidad hegemónica, expresada en la gran empresa forestal que ha modificado sus prácticas discursivas con la finalidad de obtener la legitimidad social en los territorios donde se asienta, territorialidades subalternas, que cuestionan el discurso hegemónico, expresadas fundamentalmente en el movimiento mapuche y, en menor medida, en los sectores productivos desplazados por la gran empresa forestal. Estas últimas territorialidades, dentro de su heterogeneidad, varían desde la abierta oposición hasta el diálogo y la aceptación, a menudo en función de la coyuntura.

Introdução: A ocorrência de óbitos por intoxicação com medicamentos tem sido considerada um dos agravos de saúde pública. Objetivo: Descrever as principais determinantes nas intoxicações por fármacos na cidade de Teresina-PI. Metodologia: Pesquisa ecológica, descritiva, quantitativa e de base populacional, com estudo de envenenamento por fármacos notificados na cidade de Teresina-PI, de 2010 a 2019 do Ministério da Saúde/SINAN. Foram coletados os seguintes dados: sexo, etnia, escolaridade, faixa etária, evolução clínica, classificação final, circunstância, critério de confirmação e o município de residência no Piauí. 2019.Resultados e discussão: No período analisado foi registrado 2.229 ocorrências, sendo preponderante a etnia parda (41,36%), escolaridade com ensino médio completo (12,43%), faixa etária de 20-39 (43,43%) e sexo feminino (73,44%). Já no tipo de exposição a aguda- crônica ocorreu em 1287 registros (57,74%), e o critério de confirmação foi clínico (64,56%). A circunstância mais frequente foi tentativa de suicídio (71,02%) e o desfecho clinico final foi cura com ausência de dano (59,22%). Conclusão: Constatou-se que na cidade de Teresina-PI ocorreu um aumento das notificações, esse fato pode ser atribuído ao padrão de consumo de fármacos. De modo geral, a Vigilância em Saúde deve priorizar a sensibilidade profissional para obter mais ações educativas, preventivas e intersetoriais, para assegurar o aprimoramento das políticas de vigilância sanitária.
