This study was designed to evaluate the effect of garlic meal supplementation on growth performance and semen characteristics in rabbit bucks. Twenty-four (24) mixed breed rabbit bucks were used for this study. The bucks were allowed to acclimatize for two weeks before the commencement of the study, during this period, they were fed formulated diet and Calopogonium ad-libitum. Feed and clean drinking water were offered ad libitum to the experimental animals. Four different experimental diets were formulated with varying levels of 0.00, 0.50, 1.00 and 1.50% garlic meal as supplement and were coded as T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively, with as control. The 24 bucks were weighed and randomly allotted into the four experimental treatments and replicated thrice with two rabbit bucks per replicate in a complete randomized design (CRD) for a period of 8 weeks. At the end of the feeding period, semen collection was done using a specially designed artificial vagina for rabbits. The data obtained were subjected to one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedure using IBM Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21. The result showed that garlic meal had significant effect (P<0.05) on final weight, total and daily feed intake. Garlic significantly influenced (p<0.05) sperm volume, motility, concentration and total cells per ejaculate however, did not affect sperm morphology. In conclusion, garlic meal supplementation at 1.0% (10g/kg) can improve some growth and seminal parameters in male rabbits.

Relato de Experiência: Implementação de Ações de Educação Alimentar e Nutricional com Estudantes Universitários
Authors: Brignol Andressa Rodrigues 
Published: October 2024

The transition to higher education is a phase marked by intense changes in lifestyle, including eating habits. University students' diets are affected by factors such as lack of time, academic pressures, work, and financial issues, often resulting in the choice of quick, ultra-processed foods. Lack of time and stress are aspects that hinder the maintenance of a healthy diet, leading to inadequate eating practices (SANTOS, 2014). Additionally, there is a significant relationship between psychological aspects and eating behavior. Conditions such as anxiety, depression, and eating disorders can directly influence individuals' nutritional status (FRANÇA et al., 2012). Since students face both academic and emotional challenges, the intersection between Nutrition and Psychology becomes an essential tool for promoting healthier eating habits and improving quality of life. This report describes the experience of implementing a Food and Nutrition Education (FNE) program with students from the Psychology course at the University Center of Brasília (UniCEUB), aiming to improve their eating habits and encourage reflection on their food choices. Furthermore, the importance of Health Surveillance in monitoring and promoting food and nutritional security among students will be addressed.
concepto de pobre en Cuba según la Iglesia católica
Authors: Pernús Santiago Julio Norberto 
Published: October 2024

En el año 1986 la Iglesia católica en Cuba publicó un Documento Final que recoge las bases conceptuales de una reflexión de cinco años sobre su ontología en el proceso revolucionario que había triunfado en 1959. Este trabajo nos servirá para comprender la elaboración epistemológica de pobre dentro del contexto cubano socialista desde un punto de vista religioso. Nos adentraremos en las ideas de varios intelectuales católicos de la Isla que hacen valor esa eudaimonía griega signada por una fuerza del espíritu en medio de cualquier adversidad.

Abstract. No-till (NT) cropping systems have been proposed as a strategy to combat soil degradation by storing soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN). We quantified the impacts of NT cropping systems on the changes in SOC and TN stocks and in particulate and mineral-associated organic matter fractions (POM and MAOM), to 100 cm depth, from three 13-year-old experiments in a tropical red Oxisol in Cambodia using diachronic and equivalent soil mass approaches. Established in 2009 and arranged in a randomized complete-block design with triplicates, the experiments included maize (MaiEx)-, soybean (SoyEx)-, and cassava (CasEx)-based cropping systems. Each experiment comprised three treatments: (1) mono-cropping of main crops (maize, soybean, and cassava) under conventional tillage (CTM); (2) mono-cropping of main crops under NT systems with the use of cover crops (NTM); and (3) bi-annual rotation of main crops under NT systems with the use of cover crops (NTR), with both crops being presented every year and represented by NTR1 and NTR2. Soil samples were collected in 2021, 10 years after the last sampling. All the NT systems significantly (p<0.05) increased SOC stock in the topsoil in SoyEx and MaiEx and down to 40 cm in CasEx. Considering the whole profile (0–100 cm), the SOC accumulation rates ranged from 0.86 to 1.47 and from 0.70 to 1.07 Mg C ha−1 yr−1 in MaiEx and CasEx, respectively. Although SOC stock significantly increased in CTM at 0–20 cm in MaiEx and CasEx, it remained stable at 0–100 cm in all the experiments. At 0–5 cm, NTR systems significantly increased TN stock in all the experiments, while, in NTM systems, it was only significant in MaiEx and SoyEx. At 0–100 cm, TN stock in all the experiments remained stable under NTR systems, whereas a significant decrease was observed under NTM systems in SoyEx and CasEx. Although C-POM stock significantly increased under all NT systems limited to 0–10 cm in MaiEx and SoyEx, all the NT systems significantly increased C-MAOM stock in the 0–10 cm layer in MaiEx and SoyEx and down to 40 cm in CasEx. All the NT systems significantly increased N-POM stock at 0–10 cm in MaiEx and SoyEx, while a significant decreased in N-MAOM stock was observed below 5 cm in CasEx and below 40 cm in MaiEx and SoyEx. Our findings showed that long-term NT systems with crop species diversification accumulated SOC not only on the surface but also in the whole profile by increasing SOC in both the POM and MAOM, even in the cassava-based system. This study highlights the potential of NT systems for storing SOC over time but raises questions about soil N dynamics.

Objective Characterize the structural organization of the afferent visual system in children with perinatal stroke (PS). Background PS is a leading cause of lifelong disability, including cerebral palsy. Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) is another common outcome, yet mechanisms and developmental plasticity of the visual system after PS are not well understood. CVI can negatively impact how children engage with their environments, consequently affecting development, learning, therapy, play, and future independence. Methods Fifty-one children with PS (22 arterial ischemic stroke (AIS), 29 periventricular venous infarction (PVI), mean 10.4 SD 2.5 years) were recruited from a large population-based sample along with 43 typically developing controls (TDC; mean age 11.3, SD 3.5 years). Diffusion weighted images were acquired from all children and the afferent visual tracts (optic chiasm to primary visual cortex) of both hemispheres were isolated using constrained spherical deconvolution (CSD)-based probabilistic tractography. Diffusion metrics of fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) were extracted. Differences in visual pathway microstructure were examined between hemispheres and compared to TDCs. Results Both stroke subtypes showed higher MD and lower FA compared to TDC (p<0.001) in the lesioned hemisphere and lower FA (p<0.001) in the non-lesioned hemisphere. Between-hemisphere differences showed lower FA in the AIS group (p<0.001) and higher MD (p<0.001) in children with PS. Conclusion Visual pathway microstructure is altered in both hemispheres of children with PS, particularly those with AIS. Understanding the structural development of the visual pathways after PS may inform diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic strategies.

Authors: Balteanu Irina , Fernández Alejandro , Quintana Javier 
Published: October 2024

Motivación
La elevada dependencia comercial de la economía española con respecto a China podría suponer un riesgo si se produjeran interrupciones en los intercambios comerciales o aumentasen las tensiones geopolíticas. Este artículo analiza la evidencia de un módulo de la Encuesta del Banco de España sobre la Actividad Empresarial (EBAE), armonizado con los bancos centrales nacionales de Italia y Alemania, acerca de la dependencia de las empresas españolas de los insumos críticos comprados en China.
Ideas principales
•Un 10 % de las empresas españolas encuestadas declaran importar insumos críticos de China. Dentro de las manufacturas, este porcentaje asciende al 20 %, similar al observado en Italia (17 %) y menor que el de Alemania (34 %).
•De las empresas manufactureras españolas que importan insumos críticos de China, solo el 22 % han tomado medidas para reducir su exposición a ese país, por un 30 % y un 40 %, respectivamente, en el caso de Italia y Alemania.
•Entre las compañías manufactureras españolas que han tomado medidas para reducir su dependencia de insumos críticos de China, la mitad ha reemplazado a los suministradores de este país por otros ubicados en la Unión Europea (UE), siendo también la estrategia más usada por las compañías italianas y alemanas.

Transformative Physical Attribution of Mixed-use Project Development in Bangkok Metropolitan Area, Thailand
Authors: Klinmalai Siwaporn 
Published: October 2024

Mixed-use developments encompass both large-scale and mega projects, strategically located in various zones including the inner city, central business district, as well as suburban and nearby areas. These projects serve as critical indicators of the prevailing direction of urban development in the region. While the underlying concept of mixed-use project development is grounded in the principles of sustainability and the enhancement of overall quality of life within the urban environment, it is essential to underscore that these projects do not operate in isolation. They exist within the broader context of the pre-existing urban landscape and are intertwined with the local communities in which they are situated. The aim of this study is to examine transformative changes of uses in mixed-use projects within the Bangkok Metropolitan area, Thailand. These changes involve the attributes and coordination among different uses within the projects. The chronological study undertaken in this research employs a methodological approach aimed at unveiling the historical evolution and prevailing trends in the development of mixed-use projects. The research findings indicate a discernible pattern wherein a majority of these projects have expanded from the city center towards suburban and outlying areas. These suburban areas are notably targeted for future urban development initiatives. Importantly, these areas continue to maintain medium to high population densities and include zones designated for residential and industrial purposes, which in turn have substantial implications for land pricing and investment strategies. Considering these findings, urban planners are presented with a valuable opportunity to proactively prepare and adapt city planning strategies to align with this transformational shift in urban development patterns. Such proactive measures are essential to ensure that the city’s growth and development remain sustainable, balanced, and responsive to the changing needs and dynamics of its residents and stakeholders.

Introduction: In conventional Indian medicine, several plants have long been utilized to treat various ailments. Among these herbal species, Sonchus wightianus DC is known for anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects attributed to compound found in its leaves such as fatty acid methyl esters, sterol and triterpenoids. Induced pyrexia and inflammation in animal models serves to investigate the potential synergistic interactions between traditional herbal remedies and standard medication.
Aims and Objectves: Thus, this research aimed to evaluate the anti-pyretic and anti-inflammatory properties of methanolic extract obtained from Sonchus wightianus DC leaves tested alone and in combination with classic anti-inflammatory agents using the Carrageenan paw edema and anti-pyretic agent using yeast-induced pyrexia in Wistar rats.
Methods: Soxhlet extraction was used to obtain the methanolic extract. Inflammation was induced by a 1% (w/v) carrageenan injection, while 20% Brewer's yeast triggered pyrexia in male Wistar rat. The antipyretic activity was evaluated by taking the body temperature at various hours, while the anti-inflammatory activity was assessed by measuring the paw and cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β).
Results: The research investigation discovered that the extract of Sonchus wightianus DC along with varying doses of Indomethacin and Paracetamol, considerably reduced raised body temperature and avoided inflammation, exhibiting percentage inhibition. The study further revealed that at a dosage of 300 mg/kg of the plant extract, 300 mg/kg plant extract combined with Paracetamol (150 mg/kg), and 300 mg/kg plant extract combined with Indomethacin (10 mg/kg), there was a marked reduction in paw edema and pyrexia in the experimental models. Moreover, the extract was found to substantially lower serum levels of key inflammatory mediators, including IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α.
Conclusion: These findings indicates that Sonchus wightianus DC extract has potential therapeutic benefits in managing inflammation and fever, especially when combined with standard drugs like Paracetamol and Indomethacin.
