Authors: MACHADO LUANNA 
Published: May 2024

O bem-estar dos suínos criados em sistemas de criação ao ar livre, conhecidos como SISCAL (Sistema de Criação ao Ar Livre), é uma preocupação fundamental na indústria de produção de suínos. Esse sistema de criação se destaca pela oferta de um ambiente mais natural e espaçoso para os suínos em comparação com sistemas convencionais de confinamento. O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi analisar e compreender como esse sistema influencia o bem-estar dos suínos, considerando fatores ambientais, comportamentais, de manejo e de saúde. Buscamos examinar as vantagens e desafios associados ao Siscal, avaliar o impacto positivo desse sistema no bem-estar dos suínos, além de identificar as melhores práticas e estratégias para otimizar a ambiência e o cuidado dos animais nesse contexto. O presente estudo empregou a pesquisa bibliográfica como método fundamental para a aquisição de dados, recorrendo à exploração de bases de dados que abrigam uma vasta quantidade de pesquisas e literatura relacionadas ao tema de investigação. A criação de suínos em sistemas de confinamento requer uma abordagem holística que leve em consideração a ambiência, o manejo e o bem-estar dos animais. A pesquisa e a conscientização sobre essas questões são fundamentais para aprimorar as práticas de produção suína e garantir que os suínos tenham uma vida saudável e digna. O entendimento e a aplicação de medidas para melhorar a ambiência e o bem-estar dos suínos são não apenas éticos, mas também benéficos para a indústria suinícola como um todo.

Published: May 2024

This study aimed to assess the economic viability of onion production under varying nitrogen fertilizer rates and intra-row spacing in the study area using partial budget analysis. The experiment employed a factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design, conducted at Alamata Agricultural Research Center in Kara Adishabo in 2020. Experimental treatments included nitrogen fertilizer rates (0, 23, 46, 69, and 92 Kg N ha-1) and intra-row spacing (5, 10, and 15 cm) with three replications. The partial budget analysis indicated that the treatment combination of 69 kg N ha-1 and 5 cm intra-row spacing yielded the highest net benefit of birr 642602.3. However, based on the marginal rate of return, the recommendation of 46 Kg N ha-1 and 15 cm intra-row spacing, which had a lower net benefit, was rejected after residual analysis. Consequently, the recommended treatment combination is 69 Kg N ha-1 and 5 cm of intra-row spacing, contrary to the previous recommendation. Onion cultivation is a significant economic activity in the southern zone, playing a crucial role in the livelihoods of smallholder farmers. Consequently, understanding the production costs and analyzing the financial profitability of this on-farm business is essential in the study area to enhance crop productivity.

The aim of the study was to transform chalcones synthesized to their respective pyrimidine derivatives which was successful. The synthesized compounds were subjected to antimicrobial assay against bacteria and fungi organisms screened, however sample ZB had inhibitory effect against bacterial strains. Sample ZB is active against S. aureus and E. coli with an MIC of 5 and 1 mg/mL with a zone of inhibition 11 and 23 mm respectively. When compared to sample B had activity against E. coli with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.1 mg/mL and zone of inhibition of 20 mm. Modification of 4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-6-(2,3,4-trimethoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-2-one to pyrimidin-2-one increases spectrum of activity against gram positive bacterial S. aureus. Sample A inhibits B. subtilis and P. marneffei with an MIC of 10 mg/mL with a zone of inhibition of 14 mm and 20 mm respectively. Transformation of Sample A to 2-aminopyrimidine drastically abolish the antibacterial and antifungal effect. Sample ZA is inactive against bacteria and fungi organisms, when compared to ZB which inhibits S. aureus and E. coli. The spectral analysis revealed that the samples are in line with literature and had a melting point (100-103oC and 115-117oC) for sample ZA and ZB respectively. The starting materials had a melting point (55-57oC and 95-100oC) for Sample A and B respectively.

Diabetes Mellitus is a huge burden for human health, increasing number of patient is likely to result in rising demand for the medical emergencies. Due to limited number of hospitals with standard laboratory test kits to differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes it is important to forecast the future incidences and prepare with proper resource planning. The monthly number of Diabetes patients obtained from Jos University Teaching Hospital is fitted by autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model. Dataset starting from January, 2010 to December,2020. Using ARIMA, several models were evaluated based on the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) and Ljung-Box Q statistics. ARIMA(3, 1, 1) is found to be better and used to describe and predict the future trends of Diabetes type 1 and ARIMA(1,1,1) is a better model to predict the future prevalence of diabetes type 2. Therefore, the proposed model will help in the appropriate planning and allocation of resources for emergencies.

Published: May 2024

Genetic variation, heritability, genetic advance, correlation coefficient, path coefficient analysis and genetic divergence studied in wheat during rabi 2015-16 at oilseed farm of Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture &Technology, Kanpur (U.P). A collection of fifty wheat genotypes from different eco-geographic origin were evaluated for ten quantitative characters viz. days to 50 % flowering, days to reproductive phase, days to maturity, plant height (cm), number of reproductive tillers per plant, spike length (cm), number of grains per spike, grain weight per spike (gm.), test weight (gm.) and grain yield per plant (gm.).All the characters, under study showed considerable amount of variability, phenotypic coefficient of variability was higher than genotypic coefficient of variability.These traits exhibited higher variation for GCV and PCV across the environments. A persual of coeffiecient of variability indicates that PCV and GCV were quiet high for grain yield per plant. Moderate PCV and GCV were recorded in spike length and grain weight per spike and the lowest observed in days to maturityand days to 50% flowering.
A high estimate of heritability was found for grain yield per plant. Genetic advance confirms the heritability estimate. High genetic advance was observed for grain yield (30.16) and minimum in days to reproductive phase (2.27). Genotypic correlation coefficients were higher than the corresponding phenotypic correlation coefficients for all the character combinations. Grain yield per plant showed highly positive association ship with plant height, spike length, grain weight per spike and number of grains per spike grain weight per spike. Genetic divergence was determined using D2 and all the fifty genotypes were grouped into eight clusters. Maximum inter cluster distances were observed betweenVI and VIII followed by cluster VII and VIII and cluster V and VIII. Cluster VII retains highest rank in spike length and grains per spike. Cluster-V holds first rank in days to flowering and days to maturity.On the basis of genetic divergence , it is suggested that the crosses between VIII ,VII , VI and V may be effective components in hybridization.

Published: May 2024

Over the past 20 years, the Indian poultry sector has transformed into a dynamic entity with more structured operations. Following all these practices almost at every level, poultry industry is now achieving new heights day by day. The entire livestock sector's contribution to India's GDP is greatly aided by the poultry industry in the country. India's poultry sector ranks second and third in the world in terms of meat and egg output, respectively, with 3.4 million tonnes of meat and 65 million tons of eggs produced (FAO). Significant advancements in the industry have resulted from management initiatives. Most of India's organized structure has contributed to the effective use of resources and the right implementation of policies, which have improved firm financial positions and produced the intended results. The data was collected from stakeholders with the help of pretested interview schedule. Separate interview schedule was prepared for broiler farmers (100 samples), breeder farmers (10 samples) and processing cum distribution centers (20 samples). A combination of tools viz. average, percentage, cost and return analysis. To get better understanding of the study, the sample farmers were classified into different supply chains based on their mode of working and business stages performed. Feeding management practices were followed aptly by most of the farmers. Almost all farmers were following suitable health management practice by vaccinating their birds. Based on number of birds reared poultry farms were classified as small, medium and large poultry farms. Small farms were in only in Supply Chain II and III. Fixed investment they did was `583010 and `46733 out of which nearly 85 per cent building charge. In medium sized poultry farms category, poultry farms from Supply Chain II, III and IV were present. Fixed investment they made was `12,22,096, `15,94,147 and `13,27,778 respectively of which more than 90 per cent was spent on farm buildings construction purpose. In large poultry farms, Supply Chain IV farmers had made quite huge fixed investment. For all the farms, of the total investment, 90 per cent was in buildings and 10 per cent was in equipments.

AbstractHigh resolution genomic copy‐number analysis has shown that inherited and de novo copy‐number variations contribute significantly to autism pathology, and that identification of small chromosomal aberrations related to autism will expedite the discovery of risk genes involved. Here, we report a microduplication of chromosome 15q11.2, spanning only four genes, co‐segregating with autism in a Dutch pedigree, identified by SNP microarray analysis, and independently confirmed by FISH and MLPA analysis. Quantitative RT‐PCR analysis revealed over 70% increase in peripheral blood mRNA levels for the four genes present in the duplicated region in patients, and RNA in situ hybridization on mouse embryonic and adult brain sections revealed that two of the four genes, CYFIP1 and NIPA1, were highly expressed in the developing mouse brain. These findings point towards a contribution of microduplications at chromosome 15q11.2 to autism, and highlight CYFIP1 and NIPA1 as autism risk genes functioning in axonogenesis and synaptogenesis. Thereby, these findings further implicate defects in dosage‐sensitive molecular control of neuronal connectivity in autism. However, the prevalence of this microduplication in patient samples was statistically not significantly different from control samples (0.94% in patients vs. 0.42% controls, P = 0.247), which suggests that our findings should be interpreted with caution and indicates the need for studies that include large numbers of control subjects to ascertain the impact of these changes on a population scale. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
An Accelerated Failure Time Mixture Cure Model with Masked Event
Authors: Zhang Jenny J. , Wang Molin 
Published: December 2009

AbstractWe extend the Dahlberg and Wang (Biometrics2007,63, 1237–1244) proportional hazards (PH) cure model for the analysis of time‐to‐event data that is subject to a cure rate with masked event to a setting where the PH assumption does not hold. Assuming an accelerated failure time (AFT) model with unspecified error distribution for the time to the event of interest, we propose rank‐based estimating equations for the model parameters and use a generalization of the EM algorithm for parameter estimation. Applying our proposed AFT model to the same motivating breast cancer dataset as Dahlberg and Wang (Biometrics2007,63, 1237–1244), our results are more intuitive for the treatment arm in which the PH assumption may be violated. We also conduct a simulation study to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.
Competing Risks and Time‐Dependent Covariates
Authors: Cortese Giuliana , Andersen Per K. 
Published: December 2009

AbstractTime‐dependent covariates are frequently encountered in regression analysis for event history data and competing risks. They are often essential predictors, which cannot be substituted by time‐fixed covariates. This study briefly recalls the different types of time‐dependent covariates, as classified by Kalbfleisch and Prentice [The Statistical Analysis of Failure Time Data, Wiley, New York, 2002] with the intent of clarifying their role and emphasizing the limitations in standard survival models and in the competing risks setting. If random (internal) time‐dependent covariates are to be included in the modeling process, then it is still possible to estimate cause‐specific hazards but prediction of the cumulative incidences and survival probabilities based on these is no longer feasible. This article aims at providing some possible strategies for dealing with these prediction problems. In a multi‐state framework, a first approach uses internal covariates to define additional (intermediate) transient states in the competing risks model. Another approach is to apply the landmark analysis as described by van Houwelingen [Scandinavian Journal of Statistics2007,34, 70–85] in order to study cumulative incidences at different subintervals of the entire study period. The final strategy is to extend the competing risks model by considering all the possible combinations between internal covariate levels and cause‐specific events as final states. In all of those proposals, it is possible to estimate the changes/differences of the cumulative risks associated with simple internal covariates. An illustrative example based on bone marrow transplant data is presented in order to compare the different methods.
Retrograde salvage approach to treat tibial artery perforation during attempted revascularization of a chronically occluded artery
Authors: Fusaro Massimiliano , Keta Dritan , Byrne Robert A. 
Published: December 2009

AbstractArterial perforation is a well‐recognized complication of attempted percutaneous revascularization of a chronic totally occluded tibial artery and typically necessitates termination of the procedure. This report describes a step‐by‐step approach on how to perform a direct posterior tibial artery puncture and a sheathless wire introduction, to salvage a case of tibial artery perforation induced during attempted anterograde recanalization of an occluded tibial artery. After control of blood loss, retrograde wire passage and balloon inflation can facilitate relocation of the anterograde wire in the true lumen allowing uneventful completion of the procedure. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
