The study was conducted to evaluate the meat production potentials and serum attributes of Nigerian locally adapted chickens crossed with an exotic male line. Abia Ecotype chickens from three senatorial districts of the state were used to study the growth performance and genetic traits of f2 progenies of the birds. The birds consisted of a base population of two Abia ecotype chicken, Brown (B1) and Black (B2) plumage colours were used as female – lines and crossed with two exotic meat type chicken, Cobb (A1) and Ross 308 (A2), as male – line. The mating for the formation of F2 was set up using a 4x4 diallelic crossing technique and the Selection of the most three productive progenies of the F2 evaluated for further selection as improved Abia ecotype Chicken. Data were used to determine the growth performance traits, carcass and serum biochemical profile. Y1A1 (438.00) was significantly higher in week 7 while in week 8, Y1A1 (550.33) and Y2A2 (550.66) had significant (P<0.05) higher in body weight while the least was recorded in Y3A3 (440.00). Y1A1 and Y2A2 had larger breast expansion and was significant (P<0.05) higher at weeks 7 and 8. Y1A1 has longer (P<0.05) in weeks 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, while in week 5, Y1A1 and Y1A2 was higher in the mean value of keel length but was not different (P>0.05) from Y2A2. Live weight, dress weight and drumstick were significantly (P<0.05) higher in Y1A3. Y2A3 had the higher significant (P<0.05) value for dress percentage. Head and breast were higher in Y1A3. Neck and wings showed the highest (P<0.05) values in Y1A2. Y1A3 was significantly higher (P<0.05) in the value of shank. Y2A1 showed higher significance (P<0.05) thigh value, while Y3A3 had the highest significant (P<0.05) value in breast percentage. Y3A3 having the highest h2 estimate of 0.78 for BWT. Significant differences (P<0.05) were observed in albumin, urea and phosphate. Albumin concentration of Y2A3 is significantly (P˂0.05) different when compared with other progenies but not significantly (P>0.05) different from Y2A1 and Y1A2. Urea and phosphate concentration of Y2A3 and Y3A1 were significantly higher (P<0.05) when compared to other genotypic groups. Correlation coefficient was consistently high between body weight and linear body measurements in all the progenies. From the study, Y1A1 and Y1A3 genetic groups weighed heaviest and showed distinct phenotypic characteristics among the indigenous chicken strains. Efforts are needed to conserve the genetic resources of these chickens.

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of varying levels of irrigation volume, irrigation frequency and compost on chemical compositions of gamba (Andropogon gayanus) forage. The experiment was laid out in a complete randomized block design with Split-Plot arrangement. The factors were arranged in a factorial arrangement, with three replications. There were three (3) levels of irrigation volumes (25, 50 and 100 L), two irrigation frequencies (3 and 6-day intervals) and two levels of compost manure application (25 and 50 kg/ha), respectively. Irrigation volumes were assigned as the main plots, while irrigation frequencies and compost were sub-plot factors. The result showed there yere no treatment effects (P >0.05) on all. variables measured of the proximate composition (%) of gamba froage at 8 and 12 weeks. However, there were significant on interactions variables (P< 0.05) detected but the trend was inconsistent at all the age intervals considered. The mineral composition at all ages remained similar (P >0.05) in all the irrigation volume, intervals and compost treatments. However, interactions showed inconsistent trend (P< 0.05) in some mineral composition variables throughout the plant age. In conclusion, it is revealed that the combination of treatments imposed, have a significant effect on the chemical composition of Gamba It is therefore, economically feasible for famers to irrigate the forage based on the minimum irrigation volume (25L) that supplies adequate soil moisture in combination with cheap nutrient source (25kg/ha Compost manure) at 6 days irrigation interval for better nutritional quality and to save the extra cost of labour and waste of resources in Zaria, Nigeria.

Abstract. Global hydroclimate significantly differed from modern climate during the mid-Holocene (6 ka) and Last Glacial Maximum (21 ka). Consequently, both periods have been described as either a partial or reverse analogue for current climate change. To reconstruct past hydroclimate, an offline paleoclimate data assimilation methodology is applied to a dataset of 216 lake status records which provide relative estimates of water level change. The proxy observations are integrated with the climate dynamics of two transient simulations (TraCE-21ka and HadCM3) using a multivariate proxy system model (PSM) which estimates relative lake status from available climate simulation variables. The resulting DAMP-21ka (Data Assimilation of Moisture Patterns 21 000–0 BP) reanalysis reconstructs annual lake status and precipitation values at 500-year resolution and represents the first application of the methodology to global hydroclimate on timescales spanning the Holocene and longer. Validation using Pearson's correlation coefficients indicates that the reconstruction (0.24) is more skillful, on average, than model simulations (0.09), particularly in portions of North America and east Africa, where data density is high and proxy–model disagreement is prominent during the Holocene. Results of the PSM and assimilation are used to evaluate climatic controls on lake status, spatiotemporal patterns of moisture variability, and proxy–model disagreement. During the mid-Holocene, wetter conditions are reconstructed for northern and eastern Africa, Asia, and southern Australia, but in contrast to the model prior, negative anomalies are observed in North America, resulting in drier-than-modern conditions throughout the Northern Hemisphere midlatitudes. Proxy–model disagreement in western North America may reflect a bias in model simulations to stronger sea level pressure gradients in the North Pacific during the mid-Holocene. The data assimilation framework is able to reconcile these differences by integrating the constraints of proxy observations with the dynamics of the model prior to produce a more robust estimation of hydroclimate variability during the past 21 000 years.
Reprocessing of eXpendable BathyThermograph (XBT) profiles from the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian seas over the time period 1999–2019 with a full metadata upgrade

Abstract. The advent of open science and the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development are revolutionizing the ocean-data-sharing landscape for an efficient and transparent ocean information and knowledge generation. This blue revolution raised awareness on the importance of metadata and community standards to activate interoperability of the digital assets (data and services) and guarantee that data-driven science preserves provenance, lineage and quality information for its replicability. Historical data are frequently not compliant with these criteria, lacking metadata information that was not retained, crucial at the time of data generation and further ingestion into marine data infrastructures. The present data review is an example attempt to fill this gap through a thorough data reprocessing starting from the original raw data and operational log sheets. The data gathered using XBT (eXpendable BathyThermograph) probes during several monitoring activities in the Tyrrhenian and Ligurian seas between 1999 and 2019 have first been formatted and standardized according to the latest community best practices and all available metadata have been inserted, including calibration information never applied, uncertainty specification and bias correction from Cheng et al. (2014). Secondly, a new automatic quality control (QC) procedure has been developed and a new interpolation scheme applied. The reprocessed (REP) dataset has been compared to the data version, presently available from the SeaDataNet (SDN) data access portal, processed according to the pioneering work of Manzella et al. (2003) conducted in the framework of the European Union Mediterranean Forecasting System Pilot Project (Pinardi et al., 2003). The comparison between REP and SDN datasets has the objective to highlight the main differences derived from the new data processing process. The maximum discrepancy among the REP and SDN data versions always resides within the surface layer (REP profiles are warmer than SDN ones) until 150 m depth generally when the thermocline settles (from June to November). The overall bias and root mean square difference are equal to 0.002 and 0.041 °C, respectively. Such differences are mainly due to the new interpolation technique (Barker and McDougall, 2020) and the application of the calibration correction in the REP dataset. The REP dataset (Reseghetti et al., 2024; https://doi.org/10.13127/rep_xbt_1999_2019.2) is available and accessible through the INGV (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Bologna) ERDDAP (Environmental Research Division's Data Access Program) server, which allows for machine-to-machine data access in compliance with the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) principles (Wilkinson et al., 2016).

Playing with History: August Strindberg’s Kristina and Pam Gems’s Queen Christina
Authors: Najar Esmaeil , Mohammadi Nahid 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
This article compares August Strindberg’s Kristina (1901) and Pam Gems’s Queen Christina (1977) and shows that these plays about Queen Christina of Sweden (1626–89) are both playing with history, but with a noteworthy difference: Strindberg incorporates his chauvinistic interests and portrays an illiterate, irresponsible, despicable monarch who is easily manipulated. His portrait of Queen Christina is not supported by Christina’s biographers and historians. On the other hand, Gems’s play undercuts the misogyny of Strindberg’s play and provides a more accurate historical account of her life’s trajectory. Gems demythologizes the distorted image of the queen as presented in Strindberg’s play. She focuses on Christina’s upbringing as a boy and her psychological endeavors to get along with her socially and politically defined role and gender.
The Subordinated Other: Exploring Gender and Environmental Subjugation in Barbara Kingsolver’s Prodigal Summer through Val Plumwood’s Theory of Master Model
Authors: Nodeh Soghra , Taherian Niloofar , Pourgharib Behzad 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
One of the fundamental issues in mankind’s pursuit of greater development is the protection of the environment and other subordinated groups, which has been a major concern of ecofeminists in recent decades. Claiming that environmental issues are feminist issues, ecofeminists argue that the domination of women correlates with the exploitation of nature and there are critical linkages between the two. Val Plumwood, one of the most distinguished environmental philosophers, describes the oppression of humans and nature as a phenomenon stemming from a system of dualistic structures. According to this notion, these structures are psychologically manifested through the identity of the Master Model in which the Self recognizes the Other not as a distinct center of agency but rather as either a hindrance to or a resource for its needs. Examining various forms of oppression, Barbara Kingsolver in Prodigal Summer illustrates the social inequalities and the destructive attitudes toward nature and argues that they stem from the existing hierarchical dualisms in society. Accordingly, the article aims to portray these dualistic structures, their consequences, and the ways through which they are manifested psychologically. The article concludes that the domination of women and nature are correlated and lie behind many environmental degradations and oppressive attitudes toward women.
Are We All Vampires? Gothicism as an Interdisciplinary Tool for Cultural Diagnosis in Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects
Authors: Gawron Agnieszka 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
Nowadays, Gothicism takes on a form of discourse that is particularly well suited to highlighting contemporary anxieties, especially in such areas as gender, family relations, sexuality, and power structures. It’s a popular choice across different media due to its transhistorical and interdisciplinary nature. This article reviews Gillian Flynn’s novel Sharp Objects (2007) from this particular perspective. The book gained widespread attention in Poland during the time when women’s rights to self-determination were being limited by a right-wing government. The Gothic nature of the book’s world and its parallelism with reality have made it particularly resonant with contemporary Polish women. Therefore, this article uses cultural literary theory, psychoanalysis, and gender studies tools to analyze how Flynn transforms well-known Gothic tropes and motifs, demonstrating how she subverts established cultural expectations around women’s writing, femininity, and motherhood. The concept of vampirism is central to the critical meaning of the text and its derivatives in various versions, including domination, physical and symbolic violence, the uncanny, the legacy of place, blood, and colonial history.
Postcolonial Reading of Identity in the Thought of Mohammad Mossadegh: Emphasizing the Method of Deconstruction
Authors: Taherzadeh Seyed Mostafa , Noori Hadi , Alizadeh Reza 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
Mohammad Mossadegh is known as a nationalist and anti-colonialist leader in the dominant narrative of Iran’s contemporary history. Is Mossadegh’s thought a reflection of colonial discourse or anti-colonial resistance? What is the idea of self and other in Mohammad Mossadegh’s thought? To answer this question, deconstructive analysis is used to segregate the text structure of Mossadegh’s letters, and postcolonial theories are used to interpret the information obtained from the deconstruction method. The findings of this research show that the superiority of the West and the inferiority of Iran are not inherent and formed in connection with each other. Mossadegh did not equate the West with colonialism, nor did he consider Iranian society to be devoid of elements of resistance and civilization. In Mossadegh’s system of thought, “self” is identified through the imitation and blending of native culture with the desirable characteristics of the colonialist culture. With selectivity from the West, Mossadegh wanted the formation of a third identity to use as a center of resistance against the colonial discourse. Therefore, Mossadegh’s thought is a reflection of the active anti-colonial resistance that takes advantage of the internal contradictions of the colonial discourse.
Emergency thoracotomy of chest trauma: A cohort of 30 case series
Authors: Al-Anbari Abbas Jaafar Khaleel , Al-Hindy Hayder Abdul-Amir Makki 
Published: December 2024

Background: Chest trauma is one of the leading causes of death in all age groups and accounts for 25–50% of all traumatic injuries. A small but significant proportion of individuals with thoracic injuries need an emergency thoracotomy (ET) during their primary resuscitation, although the majority can be managed conservatively. Surgical intervention has been recommended for the withdrawal of pericardial tamponade, control of large air leaks, open cardiac massage, direct management of pulmonary hemorrhage, and cross-clamping of the thoracic aorta. Thoracotomy can be used to define emergency thoracotomies. The aim of the study was to evaluate the demographic characteristics and outcomes of ET for chest trauma. The study also examined the indications for ET and the outcomes of mortality and prognosis in chest trauma patients who underwent ET in the operating room.

Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 30 patients who were randomly chosen and admitted to Al-Imamain Al-Kadhymain Teaching Hospital between March 2022 and March 2023.

Results: The mean age of the sample population was 31.1 years. Males made up 21 (70%) of the sample, while females made up 9 (30%). There were 22 penetrating chest injuries (73.3%), compared with 8 blunt chest injuries (26.7%): 26 (86.7%) were alive, while 4 (13.3%) were dead.

Conclusion: The need for an ET to save the life of a trauma patient must be made better known. Patient delays in transport to the hospital play a crucial role in saving the lives of trauma victims. We must provide the emergency department with all the necessary equipment to perform an urgent thoracotomy.
