Published: April 2021

<p>Livestock transportation is carried out to fullfill the need for consumption as well as for raising the livestock in other areas. The regulation of livestock transportation are not well implemented, and far from the ideal way of livestock transportation, such as the aspects of animal welfare. This paper aims is to describe the transportation process, challenge and its effects on small ruminants. The process of transporting livestock is carried out by preparing thye animal that are going to be transported, and the means of transportation used. Travel distance and road infrastructure conditions provide an affordable connection for the transportation of livestock. Long distances and poor infrastructure conditions can cause stresproblems to livestock transportation. Livestock becomes stres and cortisol levels increased in the blood and physiological responses were affected due to transportation. The Goat Research Institute designed a cage in a truck to transport goats and logistical needs during the trip by land and sea routes and has been used in the distribution of goats. The journey took 1 to 16 days with average goat mortality rate was about 0.3%. Severe impacts during the trip can be overcome by transporting goats with attention to the transportation system and to ensure the welfare of animals during the trip.</p>

El estudio desarrolló un modelo empírico para predecir la altura dominante (H) y el índice de sitio (IS) de plantaciones de Gmelina arborea Roxb., considerando para ello variables biofísicas y de rodal. Se utilizaron datos de 160 rodales localizados en las regiones Andina, Caribe y Pacífica de Colombia. El modelo de Chapman-Richards fue seleccionado para predecir la H e IS de cada rodal. Un análisis de correlación identificó al espaciamiento relativo, la altitud y la precipitación como variables relacionadas al IS. Un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple con estas variables explicó el 70 % de la variación total observada en el IS. Estas variables incorporadas al modelo de H permitieron aumentar en 30 % y reducir en 40 y 41 % el índice de ajuste, error absoluto y error medio cuadrático, respectivamente. Los modelos desarrollados son adecuados para estimar la productividad en áreas sin historia de plantaciones forestales, adicionando flexibilidad y capacidad predictiva en un entorno cambiante.

Published: April 2021

Importantes desafíos en la restauración de ecosistemas terrestres colombianos pueden superarse de forma parcial través de la investigación. Por tal razón, en el presente artículo de revisión hicimos un análisis bibliométrico de varios artículos para identificar los temas abordados y los vacíos usando un marco de trabajo publicado en 2017. Este marco se presenta como una agenda de investigación en ecología cuyo desarrollo tiene una aplicación directa en la práctica de la restauración. Encontramos 167 casos provenientes de 143 artículos; la mayoría trataron temas relacionados con planificación (35 %) y monitoreo de intervenciones (25 %). Pocos abordaron temas relacionados con implementación: obtención de propágulos (12 %), establecimiento de plántulas (13 %) y desempeño del material plantado (15 %). También identificamos un sesgo geográfico, ya que 93 % de los estudios se realizaron en las regiones Andina y Caribe; lo que equivale a menos de la mitad del territorio colombiano. Estos resultados y su análisis se presentan como una agenda preliminar de investigación en restauración que involucra intereses de diferentes actores.

O câncer manifesta-se a partir de uma transmutação genética, ou seja, uma modificação no DNA que passa a transmitir informações erradas para o desenvolvimento de suas atividades, ocorrendo assim em genes especiais nomeados como proto-oncogenes. A leucemia é um dos cânceres mais conhecidos e acometem os glóbulos brancos que perdem suas funções e passam a se multiplicar descontroladamente. No entanto a terapia gênica, ainda experimental, busca substituir o gene defeituoso, pelo gene normal. O uso terapêutico de inibidores da tirosino quinase (mesilato de imatinibe), reduz significativamente a progressão da doença e elimina os principais sintomas da fase crônica da leucemia, aumentando assim a expectativa de vida. Os objetivos deste trabalho são analisar a expressão diferencial que estão relacionadas ao desenvolvimento da leucemia mediante a sua evolução ou tratamento usando Imatinibe. Os estudos foram realizados em linhagens celulares submetidos por análises de microarranjos de amostras de Leucemia Mielóide Aguda Bialélica e Leucemia Mielóide Crônica. Foram utilizadas microarranjos da Affymetrix Gene Chip HU133 de células de Leucemia Mieloide extraídos do banco de dados Gene Expression Omnibus. Dentre os resultados obtidos o gene FCAR atua no sistema imune de pacientes com Leucemia, ele é um receptor da glicoproteína transmembrana presente, genes dessa família são usados em imunoterapia usando células T, diferencialmente expresso e está atuando na ativação do sistema imunológico no tratamento da Leucemia Mielóide Aguda. Com isso é possível utilizar as ferramentas de análise de expressão gênica como meio para localizar genes diferencialmente expressos e assim determinar novas terapias gênicas.

Published: April 2021

As bacias dos rios Peruípe, Itanhém e Jucuruçu têm grande relevância para o abastecimento de diversos munícipios do Extremo Sul da Bahia. Portanto, monitorar e avaliar a qualidade dessas águas é fundamental para a gestão sustentável dos recursos hídricos dessa região. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho objetivou avaliar a qualidade da água desses rios em 12 pontos de monitoramento situados em 8 munícipios. Para tanto, utilizou-se dados extraídos do Instituto do Meio Ambiente e Recursos Hídricos do Estado da Bahia (INEMA), dentre eles coliformes termotolerantes, clorofila-a, nitrato, nitrogênio, temperatura, salinidade, alcalinidade, sólidos dissolvidos totais, turbidez, potencial hidrogeniônico, oxigênio dissolvido, demanda bioquímica de oxigênio, demanda química de oxigênio, fósforo total e amônia, bem como o Índice de Qualidade da Água (IQA) entre 2009 e 2019. Os resultados obtidos foram comparados aos limites estabelecidos na Resolução CONAMA Nº 357 de 2005, tanto para as águas doces Classe 2 quanto salobras Classe 1 e faixas de IQA. Resultados de coliformes termotolerantes, sólidos dissolvidos totais, turbidez, potencial hidrogeniônico, oxigênio dissolvido, demanda bioquímica de oxigênio, fósforo total e amônia extrapolaram os padrões estabelecidos na resolução CONAMA Nº 357/2005, estando diretamente relacionados ao uso e ocupação do solo, sem o devido acompanhamento de infraestrutura básica e ausência de um esgotamento sanitário que atenda adequadamente às comunidades localizadas próximas às bacias hidrográficas. Os resultados do IQA nas três bacias variaram entre 56,3 e 72,1, o que indica que as águas podem ser classificadas como qualidade boa, apesar das alterações em alguns parâmetros.
Allelopathic effect of <i>Azadirachta</i> indica fresh leaves on the germination of native plants in the Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest

Published: April 2021

Allelopathic potential, which is characterized by harmful or beneficial effects on a species, is a hypothesis that could explain the success of a vegetable species in process of invasion. For that reason, this study aims to investigate the allelopathic effect of the fresh leaf extract from Azadirachta indica on the germination and early growth of native species (Mimosa caesalpiniifolia, Pityrocarpa moniliformis, Astronium urundeuva, Cenostigma pyramidale, and Libidibia ferrea) in the seasonally dry tropical forest (caatinga). The raw extract was prepared with 200g of fresh leaves in 1L of distilled water, diluted in six treatments. The experiment followed a completely randomized design (CRD), with four repetitions of 25 seeds, and paper towel moistened with extract as substrate. The number of germinated seeds was counted daily. At the end of the experiment, radicle length (RL), germination percentage (GP), germination speed index (GSI), and average germination time (AGT) were evaluated. P. stipulacea’s GP and GSI averages and A. urundeuva’s AGT decreased as extract concentration increased. As far as RL is concerned, in intermediate concentrations the extract hindered P. moniliformis and L. ferrea’s growth but favored C. pyramidale and A. urundeuva’s. Results allow us to infer that A. indica has an allelopathic effect on native species and might interfere with their rooting in the field, which in turn would affect the succession and balance of the forest over time, since the community structure and the ecosystemic processes would be impacted.
The Results of Exit Polls in Kansas to Verify Voting Machine Counts in the November 2016 Election
Authors: Clarkson Elizabeth 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Citizens’ exit polls are performed by local voters to verify the official reported election results. Five citizens’ exit polls were run in southeast Kansas during the Nov 8th 2016 election. These exit polls were designed specifically to verify computer generated vote counts and run solely by volunteer labor, all local citizens who were willing to put in the necessary hours on Election Day to conduct the poll and later, to count the results by hand. These exit polls were able to obtain high participation rates resulting in the ability to detect small yet statistically significant differences. All five polling stations surveyed show evidence of multiple statistical anomalies in both the pattern and size of the errors between the official results and exit poll results although biases were not uniformly oriented across sites. The small discrepancies found in the studied races were insufficient to alter the outcomes. Non-response bias and unintentional errors were evaluated as potential causes; those explanations were plausible in some but not all cases. These results show a pattern of discrepancies between the exit polls and computer counted results displaying consistent bias within sites. This would be an expected outcome of a deliberate manipulation of the computer results. While this data doesn’t conclusively prove election interference and manipulation of votes counts, it should be taken seriously as a sign of such interference. Doubts about the accuracy of the reported results are appropriate unless other plausible explanations for the discrepancies can be found.
Pulsed Radiofrequency Ablation for Anterior Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome: A Case Report
Authors: Govindan Susheel , Lam Christopher , Latif Usman 
Published: April 2021

Anterior Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome (ACNES) is a cause of chronic abdominal pain in which nerves become pathologically entrapped and irritated, leading to pain. The prevalence of the syndrome is 15 to 30 percent, and many treatment approaches begin with pharmacologic therapy. If pharmacologic therapy fails, trigger point injections, nerve blocks, and neurectomy are subsequent therapeutic options. We present the case of a 50-year-old female with chronic abdominal pain and steroid allergy who presented to the pain clinic after failed mainstay therapy including gabapentin, amitriptyline, nortriptyline, duloxetine, NSAID, and acetaminophen. She was diagnosed with Anterior Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome (ACNES). A primary intervention of Bilateral Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block with local anesthetic provided 80% pain relief. Following successful primary intervention, a secondary intervention of Pulsed Radiofrequency Ablation (PRF) provided pain relief for 2 months.
Performance of Private Higher Education Institutions and the School Heads’ Supervision in South Central Mindanao
Authors: Et. al. Fahad Abdul Salendab, 
Published: April 2021

The study aimed to assess the influence of instructional and administrative supervision on institutions' performance in private higher education in South Central Mindanao in terms of program accreditation and passing the national licensure examination.
This research utilized ex-post facto research and the descriptive-correlation method. The research respondents were the 410 school heads. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS.
School heads demonstrated adequate instructional and administrative supervision of the teaching-learning process in private higher education institutions. Moreover, higher education programs are primarily level 1 and level 2 accredited. Many of these programs are primary education, engineering, accountancy and business, nursing, and graduate degree programs. The majority of the HEIs had 50% and below the passing rate in the various programs that require licensure examinations for the last three years (2014, 2015, and 2016), while few HEIs had a passing rate of more than 50%. HEIs passers were mostly graduate in education, accountancy, nursing, medical technology, engineering, radiologic technology, pharmacy, social work, physical therapy, nutrition, and dietetics.
Although higher education institutions obtained lower accredited programs, instructional and professional development supervision are good predictors of accreditation programs and licensure examination. Monitoring and leading activities are good predictors of program accreditation, while monitoring and organizing are good predictors of the licensure examination.
It is recommended that supervision must be sustained and strengthened among regulated HEIs to get their programs accredited and improve performance in the licensure examination.
Impact of Drop Jump Index For17-18 Year Old Volleyball Players in Albania
Authors: Et. al. Enkeleida Lleshi, 
Published: April 2021

Volleyball is characterized by the activity of vertical jump performance in the technical elements of attack, block and service. The study focuses on young Female & Male players during the 12-week plyometric training. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of 12-weeks plyometric training performance in volleyball players M & F in Albania to see the differences between them. Methods; 40 young players (F & M) participated in this study. N=10 M & N=10 F volleyball players considered as Experimental and the same number as Control. The average age of players included in this study is 17-18 years old. The players of both groups were evaluated before and after 12 weeks. The F&M Experimental groups conducted 12 weeks of plyometric training with 2 sessions for a week. The F&M Control groups conducted the training according to the method of their trainers. Besides anthropometric measurements they developed Drop Jump tests by jumping from the cube in height 40 cm and 60 cm. Results; The results showed a high correlation coefficient (r = 0,924) and statistically significant (p <0,05). Data obtained from two groups GRFP show that the relationship between the contact time and the time air changes between the two tests DJ 40-60cm. Conclusions. The methodology used helps us compare the high and poor performances that help coaches to program more detailed plyometric training for the development of jumping skills in young volleyball players. The effect of plyometric training developed on M&F volleyball players and according to data obtained from GRFP, showed that male volleyball players had a better performance in vertical jump than female volleyball players. Vertical jumping may be assessed not only by the height of its development but also by the phase of residence in the air.

Authors: Muhammad Azhar Mian , Waris Muhammad , Shan Shah Ali , Basit Abdul , Rafique Zil-i-Huma 
Published: April 2021

Purpose: The study explores the after-effects of US-Taliban peace talks and how these can bring peace in decades' long war-wracked Afghanistan. It also investigates whether or not the ever-widening trust deficit between the stakeholders be bridged through these talks and in the future, Afghan soil will never be used for transnational activities. How can these talks neutralize and influence militant groups to join mainstream politics?
Methodology: Relevant data were collected from newspaper articles, editorials, websites, journals, research reports, and magazines and minutely analyzed. The research is qualitative and explanatory cum exploratory in nature. Analytical techniques were utilized to evaluate data on the outcomes of the Doha-based US-Taliban peace talks.
Main Findings: The study finds that it's easy to conclude table talks but hard to implement on the ground. Decades' long trust deficit will not come to an end until and unless all the stakeholders move forward positively. Intra-Afghan dialogue is the most important step to bring the political instability to an end and constitutional accommodation be made accordingly to space all these in mainstream politics.
Applications: Findings of the study, to some extent, will be fruitful for the stakeholders to prioritize the steps to bring peace to Afghanistan. It also cautions regional and international actors to pursue their interests without using the soil of Afghanistan for seditious activities in rival countries.
Novelty: The study is unique in the sense that it explores the ways and means through which decades’ long trust deficit can be bridged by looping into the stakeholders for lasting peace to Afghanistan and the region.
Contemporary condemnation of memory

Published: April 2021

Mnemosyne in Greek mythology was the daughter of Gaea and Uranus, and mother of the nine Muses, whose father was Zeus. She was the personification of memory and was connected in this way to the Arts, as artists recalled primordial memories to draw inspiration for their creations. ‘Damnatio memoriae’, the Roman punishment meaning condemnation of memory, was an official sanction, successful in wiping out the memory of any individual who was convicted of being a tyrant, a traitor or another sort of enemy of the state. The images of such condemned persons had to be destroyed, their names erased from inscriptions and every element concerning their public presence was purged. In some cases, the residence of the condemned could be destroyed, and if the person was already dead, his grave was demolished and his last will nullified. Nowadays, the condemnation of memory could be connected to a series of incidents selected to be erased from the public conscience as if they have never happened, although they represent historical or even ordinary events – genocides, wars, migration flows, gender-based violence and others. This paper focuses on the contemporary condemnation of memory using Art as a methodological tool. We argue that art represents a way to investigate current circumstances that aim to wipe out collective memory. We probe these expressive forms that are derived from historically transformed roles and compile these facts that are consigned to oblivion.

Keywords: Memory, oblivion condemnation of memory, art and memory, Florou, Ilia-Georgiadou.
