Goat meat has a number of nutritional benefits compared to other meats. It is preferred by those who know it value. Studies on marketing of goat meat (chevon) is important to provide vital information on its availability, profitability and the contsraints encoutered by the marketers for effective research, pricing, planning and policy fomulation. In the study, the marketing of chevon in selected markets in Ibadan, was examined. Well-structured questionnaires were purposively administered to 60 respondents from four markets (Bodija, Akinyele, Oritamerin, Aleshinloye) in different Local Government Areas within Ibadan, using multi-stage sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and budgetary analysis. The results showed that 55% male respondents were chevon marketers in which 70% were married within the age range of 40-49 years. About 31.7% had no formal education while 30.0% had secondary education. In terms of religion, 46.7% were Muslims, 40.0% were Christians and 13.3% were traditional believers. The budgetary analysis revealed that the total revenue (TR) was < 3,970,030.00, total variable cost (TVC) was < 2,125,150.00 and total fixed cost (TFC) was <123,300.00 while gross profit and net profit accounted for < 3,970,030.00 and ? 1,721,580.00, respectively. Total cost incurred was < 2,248,450.00 per month. The benefit cost ratio (BCR) was calculated to be < 1.83. Among the problems facing chevon marketing in the study areas are infrastructural, credit facilities and storage facilities. It is therefore recommended that the government at all levels should provide market facilities and favorable market, regulatory framework for a more profitable chevon business.

This study was carried out to investigate the performance of broilers fed graded levels of Dry Distilled Cassava with Soluble (DDCS). In a 28-day trial, one hundred and forty-four (144), 5-week old, un-sexed Arbor acre strain broiler chicks (average weight of 1.09±0.02 kg) were randomly allocated to four dietary treatments of wheat offal (WO) and DDCS (12% WO + 0% DDCS = 0% DDCS; 8% WO + 4% DDCS = 4% DDCS; 4% WO + 8% DDCS = 8% DDCS and 0% WO + 12% DDCS = 12% DDCS) in completely randomized design. Each treatment had 2 replicates of 18 birds each. Dry matter feed intake (FI g/day), daily weight gain (g/day) and total weight gain (kg) decreases with increase in the levels of DDCS, while the feed conversion ratio (FCR) increases with increase in levels of DDCS, respectively. However, there was no significant (P>0.05) differences in the carcass evaluation measured. It was concluded that DDCS could replace wheat offal in the diets of broilers up to 8% without significant difference in growth and feed intake without detrimental effects on carcass quality of the birds.

Cette étude a été réalisée pour étudier la performance des poulets de chair nourris à des niveaux échelonnés de manioc distillé sec avec soluble (le 'DDCS'). Dans un essai de 28 jours, cent quarante-quatre (144) poussins de chair de la souche Arbor acre non sexés de 5 semaines (poids moyen de 1.09 ± 0.02 kg) ont été répartis au hasard dans quatre traitements diététiques d'abats de blé (WO) et DDCS (12% WO + 0% DDCS = 0% DDCS ; 8% WO + 4% DDCS = 4% DDCS ; 4% WO + 8% DDCS = 8% DDCS et 0% WO + 12% DDCS = 12 % DDCS) dans une conception complètement aléatoire. Chaque traitement comportait 2 répétitions de 18 oiseaux chacun. L'apport alimentaire en matière sèche (FI g / jour), le gain de poids quotidien (g / jour) et le gain de poids total (kg) diminuent avec l'augmentation des niveaux de DDCS, tandis que le taux de conversion alimentaire (FCR) augmente avec l'augmentation des niveaux de DDCS, respectivement. Cependant, il n'y avait aucune différence significative (P> 0.05) dans l'évaluation de la carcasse mesurée. Il a été conclu que le DDCS pouvait remplacer les abats de blé dans l'alimentation des poulets de chair jusqu'à 8% sans différence significative de croissance et de consommation alimentaire sans effets néfastes sur la qualité de la carcasse des oiseaux.

Stratospheric influence on the mesosphere–lower thermosphere over mid latitudes in winter observed by a Fabry–Perot interferometer
Authors: Zorkaltseva Olga S. , Vasilyev Roman V. 
Published: March 2021

Abstract. In this paper, we study the response of the mesosphere–lower thermosphere (MLT) to sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) and the activity
of planetary waves (PWs). We observe the 557.7 nm optical emission to
retrieve the MLT wind and temperature with the only Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI) in Russia. The FPI is located at the mid latitudes of
eastern Siberia within the Tory Observatory (TOR) at the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ISTP SB RAS, 51.8∘ N, 103.1∘ E). Regular interferometer monitoring
started in December 2016. Here, we address the temporal variations in the
557.7 nm emission intensity as well as the variations in wind and temperature measured during the 2016–2020 winters. Both SSWs and PWs appear
to have equally strong effects in the upper atmosphere. When the 557.7 nm
emission decreases due to some influences from below (SSWs or PWs), the
temperature increases significantly, as does its variability. The dispersion
of zonal wind does not show significant PW- and SSW-correlated variations, but the dominant MLT zonal wind reverses during major SSW events
simultaneously with the averaged zonal wind at 60∘ N in the stratosphere.

Abstract. In the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project Phase 2 (PlioMIP2), coupled climate models have been used to simulate an interglacial climate during
the mid-Piacenzian warm period (mPWP; 3.264 to 3.025 Ma). Here, we compare the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), poleward
ocean heat transport and sea surface warming in the Atlantic simulated with these models. In PlioMIP2, all models simulate an intensified
mid-Pliocene AMOC. However, there is no consistent response in the simulated Atlantic ocean heat transport nor in the depth of the Atlantic overturning
cell. The models show a large spread in the simulated AMOC maximum, the Atlantic ocean heat transport and the surface warming in the North
Atlantic. Although a few models simulate a surface warming of ∼ 8–12 ∘C in the North Atlantic, similar to the reconstruction
from Pliocene Research, Interpretation and Synoptic Mapping (PRISM) version 4, most models appear to underestimate this warming. The large
model spread and model–data discrepancies in the PlioMIP2 ensemble do not support the hypothesis that an intensification of the AMOC, together
with an increase in northward ocean heat transport, is the dominant mechanism for the mid-Pliocene warm climate over the North Atlantic.
A gridded surface current product for the Gulf of Mexico from consolidated drifter measurements
Authors: Lilly Jonathan M. , Pérez-Brunius Paula 
Published: February 2021

Abstract. A large set of historical surface drifter data from the Gulf of Mexico – 3770 trajectories spanning 28 years and more than a dozen data sources – are collected, uniformly processed and quality controlled, and assimilated into a spatially and temporally gridded dataset called GulfFlow. This dataset is available in two versions, with 1/4∘ or 1/12∘ spatial resolution respectively, both of which have overlapping monthly temporal bins with semimonthly spacing and which extend from the years 1992 through 2020. Together these form a significant resource for studying the circulation and variability in this important region. The uniformly processed historical drifter data from all publicly available sources, interpolated to hourly resolution, are also distributed in a separate product called GulfDriftersOpen. Forming a mean surface current map by directly bin-averaging the hourly drifter data is found to lead to severe artifacts, a consequence of the extremely inhomogeneous temporal distribution of the drifters. Averaging instead the already monthly-averaged data in GulfFlow avoids these problems, resulting in the highest-resolution map of the mean Gulf of Mexico surface currents yet produced. The consolidated drifter dataset is freely available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3985916 (Lilly and Pérez-Brunius, 2021a), while the gridded products are available for noncommercial use only (for reasons discussed herein) at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3978793 (Lilly and Pérez-Brunius, 2021b).
Synoptic atmospheric circulation patterns associated with deep persistent slab avalanches in the western United States
Authors: Schauer Andrew R. , Hendrikx Jordy , Birkeland Karl W. , Mock Cary J. 
Published: February 2021

Abstract. Deep persistent slab avalanches are capable of destroying infrastructure and are usually unsurvivable for those who are caught. Formation of a snowpack conducive to deep persistent slab avalanches is typically driven by meteorological conditions occurring in the beginning weeks to months of the winter season, and yet the avalanche event may not occur for several weeks to months later. While predicting the exact timing of the release of deep persistent slab avalanches is difficult, onset of avalanche activity is commonly preceded by rapid warming, heavy precipitation, or high winds. This work investigates the synoptic drivers of deep persistent slab avalanches at three sites in the western USA with long records: Bridger Bowl, Montana; Jackson, Wyoming; and Mammoth Mountain, California. We use self-organizing maps to generate 20 synoptic types that summarize 5899 daily 500 mbar geopotential height maps for the winters (November–March) of 1979/80–2017/18. For each of the three locations, we identify major and minor deep persistent slab avalanche seasons and analyze the number of days represented by each synoptic type during the beginning (November–January) of the major and minor seasons. We also examine the number of days assigned to each synoptic type during the 72 h preceding deep persistent slab avalanche activity for both dry and wet slab events. Each of the three sites exhibits a unique distribution of the number of days assigned to each synoptic type during November–January of major and minor seasons and for the 72 h period preceding deep persistent slab avalanche activity. This work identifies the synoptic-scale atmospheric circulation patterns contributing to deep persistent slab instabilities and the patterns that commonly precede deep persistent slab avalanche activity. By identifying these patterns, we provide an improved understanding of deep persistent slab avalanches and an additional tool to anticipate the timing of these difficult-to-predict events.

Para indagar en significados, causas y consecuencias de la censura, se realizaron dos grupos de discusión con jóvenes chinos universitarios que viven en Madrid, estando uno de los grupos integrado por jóvenes que cursan o que cursaron estudios relacionados con la comunicación. Si bien se podría pensar que estos jóvenes son contrarios a la censura, en los dos GDs se aportaron argumentos a favor y en contra de la censura. Respecto de qué ocurriría si el GFW (Great Fire Wall) desapareciese, mientras los jóvenes que cursan o que cursaron estudios relacionados con la comunicación manifiestan que China permanecería igual debido a que sus habitantes adolecen de una formación en conciencia ciudadana, en el grupo con participantes que cursan o que han cursado otros estudios, se plantea que se produciría un “shock de pensamiento” que conllevaría la aparición de movimientos sociales, “con la probabilidad de que algunas personas se volviesen locas".
Improving the accuracy of wood moisture content estimation in four European softwoods from Spain
Authors: Fernández-Golfín Juan I. , Conde Garcia Maria , Conde Garcia Marta 
Published: February 2021

Aim of study: To obtain improved models to predict, with an error of less than ± 2.0%, the gravimetric moisture content in four different softwoods commonly present in the Spanish and European markets, based on electrical resistance measurements. This improved moisture content estimation is useful not only for assessing the quality of wood products, especially in the case of laminated products, during the transformation and delivery process, but also for accurately monitoring the evolution of moisture in wood present in bridges and buildings, which is of great importance for its maintenance and service life improvement.Area of study: The study was carried out on samples of Scots, laricio, radiata and maritime pines of Spanish provenances.Material and methods: On 50x50x20 mm3 solid wood samples (36 per species, 9 per condition), conditioned at 20ºC (±05ºC) and 40±5%, 65±5%, 80±5% or 90±5% Relative Humidity (RH), electrical resistance and oven-dry moisture content was measured. The Samuelsson's model was fitted to data to explain the relationship between the two variables. The accuracy of the model was evaluated by the use of an external sample.Main results: With the proposed mathematical functions the wood moisture content can be estimated with an error of ±0.9% in the four species, confirming the effectiveness of this nondestructive methodology for accurate estimation and monitoring of moisture content.Research highlights: our results allow the improvement of the moisture content estimation technique by resistance-type methodologies.Keywords: Resistance-type moisture meter; species correction.Abbreviations used: MC: Moisture content; RH: relative Humidity; R: electrical resistance; RP: wood electrical resistance measured parallel to the grain; RT: electrical resistance measured perpendicular (transversally) to the grain; GM-MC: gravimetrically measured moisture content.

Coronavirus disease 2019 placed unprecedented challenges on the modern healthcare system. In addition to caring for patients directly affected by the virus, hospitals and clinics had to quickly mobilize forces in order to protect and manage employees with symptoms and/or exposures to COVID-19. Interventions are needed to efficiently diagnose and quarantine healthcare workers with disease while returning those without disease expediently in order to maintain a workforce capable of dealing with the pandemic surge. This article describes the Johns Hopkins system-wide occupational health response to the coronavirus outbreak. Specifically, the steps taken to develop and implement an employee covid call center that fielded 9,000 calls during the 2½ month initial surge of the virus are outlined. The 24/7 availability and rapid triage of healthcare workers led to an ultimate decline in call volume despite increasing exposure to the virus and rising hospitalizations.
The issue of the correct use of probiotics in the absence of recommendations
Authors: Tomczak Hanna , Wrońska Marta , Pecyna Paulina , Hampelska Katarzyna 
Published: February 2021

Summary
Antibiotics are important for saving both human health and life. Antibiotics destroy all bacteria within their spectrum, because they do not distinguish between good and bad bacteria. Even if an antibiotic therapy lasts only a few days, it may cause diarrhoea and mycosis. Antibiotics destroy most bacterial species in the intestines. These changes may affect one’s whole life. Today it is a challenge for medicine to be able to manipulate the microbiome so as to restore normal relations between microorganisms. At present, when antibiotics are abused, probiotics are very often applied. However, as there are no recommendations, a lot of mistakes can be made when using them. Both drugs and dietary supplements can be classified as probiotics. Medicinal probiotics are subject to very strict registration requirements and their use is associated with a specific disease or ailment. Probiotic microorganisms must be classified according to their genus, species and strain. These preparations may contain one or more probiotic strains depending on its application. At present there are no established schemes or rules concerning the dosage of probiotic preparations. This issue arouses numerous controversies. It is assumed that the probiotic should be applied at a dose which proved to have a beneficial effect in tests conducted on humans. Patients usually make decisions on the choice and dosage of preparations themselves. Individualised probiotic therapy is the key to success. There is no universal preparation – a specific probiotic should be used in a particular clinical case.
Ce qui se cache derrière la spectacularisation du travail artistique des femmes : réflexion sur le chantier féministe du Théâtre Espace Go
Authors: Garneau Marie-Claude 
Published: February 2021

Revenant sur le chantier féministe du Théâtre Espace Go qui s’est tenu en avril 2019, l’autrice réfléchit au travail artistique des femmes dans le milieu théâtral, en prenant comme point focal les notions d’événement et de quotidienneté telles que théorisées par les philosophes Françoise Collin et Hannah Arendt. Elle soutient que la semaine de conférences et de midi-causeries aurait peut-être dû s’inspirer davantage des situations d’inégalité et d’oppression vécues par les femmes du milieu théâtral, cequotidienoù il se vit des choses, plutôt que de les effacer derrière l’événement, c’est-à-dire la monstration de ce qui est déjà là, acquis. En conclusion, l’autrice soutient que le chantier féministe du Théâtre Espace Go doit être le point de départ vers une discussion plus large sur de nouvelles façons de travailler ou, à tout le moins, de nouvelles façons de reconnaître le travail que représente la création artistique des femmes.

Authors: Abd-Elaziz Asmaa Hassan , Hodeib Hossam Abd-Elmohsein , Shahba Abeer Abd-El Moneim , Selim Amal 
Published: February 2021

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is strongly correlated to ischemia caused by stress that is involved in dysfunction of endothelium leading to angiopathy, particularly diabetic nephropathy (DN). Immediately after occlusion of an artery, free radical production paired with reduced antioxidant defensive response and related ischemia in DM result in changes in the tertiary structure of human serum albumin; therefore, it is called ischemia-modified albumin (IMA). The aim of our work was to evaluate IMA as marker of vascular injury in DN.
Patients and Methods: This trial was conducted on 25 normal individuals as a control group (I) and 75 cases with type II DM. Cases have been subdivided into Group II: 25 diabetic cases with normal albumin in urine, Group III: 25 diabetic cases with albumin in urine and glomerular filtration rate >60 ml/min/1.73m2 and Group IV: 25 diabetic cases with albuminuria and glomerular filtration rate <60ml/min/1.73m2. Medical history, clinical features and laboratory investigations which include the serum IMA have been carried out to all cases.
Results: Compared to the control group, considerably greater serum levels of IMA have been reported in Diabetic cases there had been a wide variation in IMA among the 4 groups. There were considerable +ve correlations among serum IMA and DM duration, blood urea, serum creatinine, UACR, FBS, PPBS and HBA1c. A considerable -ve correlation among serum IMA and eGFR was observed. IMA had an optimal cutoff value≥90 ng/ml with 0.92 area under ROC curve, 96% sensitivity and 92% specificity (p-value<0.001).
Conclusion: IMA could function as a glycemic control marker and a sensitive indicator for DN.
