Abstract. This work investigates how incorporating olive leaves (OLs) (Olea europaea) into turkeys' (Meleagris gallopavo) diets affects their performance, welfare, blood biochemical parameters, and oxidative status of those reared in intensive farming conditions. The potential of this ingredient was assessed by comparing two dietary incorporation rates of olive leaves, 3 % and 6 %, in three commercial feeds corresponding to three growth phases over 15 weeks where feed was provided ad libitum. A total of 270 animals (broiler medium strain) were used. They were divided into three groups: the OL0, OL3, and OL6 regimens with OL incorporation rates of 0 %, 3 %, and 6 %, respectively. Animals were allocated to three pens of approximately 15 m2 of surface area; each pen had 30 animals, with a density of three turkeys per square meter. Throughout the rearing period, the diet had no effect on bird mortality. Olive leaves boosted growth rates. Indeed, after the experiment, the OL3 group had significantly higher weights than the OL6 and OL0 groups, which had the lowest feed conversion ratio. Furthermore, after bleeding, the weights and evisceration was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in the OL3 and OL0 groups compared to the OL6 group. However, OL0 turkeys had significantly higher spleen, heart, and abdominal fat weights than OL3 and OL6 turkeys. The three experimental groups had no significant differences (p>0.05) in carcass yield or gizzard or liver weights. OL supplementation improved oxidative status but had no effect on animal welfare or blood biochemical parameters, with the exception of the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), which was significantly (p < 0.05) lower in the OL3 group than in the OL0 and OL6 groups. Except for the mean cholesterol level, which was significantly (p < 0.05) lower in the OL3 and OL6 (1.29 g L−1) groups compared to the OL0 group, and the albumin level, which was higher in the OL0 group compared to the OL6 group, no significant effect was observed on biochemical serum parameters. Thus, a 3 % OL supplementation in the turkey diet appears promising for improving the bird's growth performance.
Effective Altruism and Requiring Reasons to Help Others
Authors: Sinclair Thomas 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Theron Pummer's impressive new book The Rules of Rescue seeks to defend effective altruism without taking on the controversial moral theoretical commitments. Through an exploration of the framework of requiring reasons and permitting reasons that is the backbone of his argument, this article raises some doubts about how successful Pummer's strategy of avoidance can be.
Celebrating Polish American Identity
Authors: Jackson David J. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Polish Americans celebrate their ethnic identity in myriad ways, including Pączki Day celebrations, Dyngus Day parties, kolędy singalongs, and dance and other performances. These types of events are examined in the context of theories of ethnicity persistence and dissipation, as well as through the lens of invented traditions. Results of a survey of 409 event participants are presented, which reveal that participants believe strongly in preserving Polish and Polish American culture, as well as the need for authenticity in these events. The role of food, drink, and polka music is examined, and distinctions are drawn among the various events based in part on the sponsoring organizations. Analysis is offered of differences between Polish American and non-Polish American participants, and some tentative thoughts are offered about the responses of various cohorts of Polish Americans. While for most Polish Americans, ethnic identity has become largely symbolic, it still can have consequences that go beyond mere celebration. A theory of latent ethnicity is presented, which argues that these events maintain ethnicity symbolically, and that Polish American ethnicity can then be awakened in everyday life, particularly during presidential elections.

Published: April 2024

The possibility of formulating nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) biofertilizer from ashes of waste organic materials such as chicken feathers, bone and banana peels is investigated in this study by first subjecting the agricultural waste to 80-250 heat in a muffle furnace to produce ash. Kjeldatherm block digestion unit, UV spectrophotometer, and flame photometers, respectively helped in measuring the concentrations of N, P and K inherent in the fertilizer precursors as well as in 5 formulated blends (i.e., A, B, C, D & E). It was discovered that NPK in the single substrate and blends favorably compared with standard NPK 20:10:10 chemical fertilizer to some extent. Among single material fertilizer sources, feather ash with 0.179:1:0.134 NPK and bone ash with 0.009:1:0.021 NPK had the closest nutrient content with the standard, showing potential promise. On the other hand, Blend E is the same as the standard, followed by Blend A, B, D and C, which are hierarchically close in elemental composition to the standard. The choice of these biofertilizers is dependent on their nutrient compositions, the type of crops to be grown, and the soil mineral requirements. Most importantly, different NPK ratio organic fertilizers produced in this study can competitively be produced in a large scale to address huge costs associated with the NPK 20:10:10 standard commercial fertilizer. Blend E (NPK 20:10:10) can be formulated locally by farmers in rural areas easily using this particular agricultural residue or a host of other confirmed farm wastes.

Published: April 2024

Receivables are the right to collect debts, a means of fulfilling civil obligations, a continuation of the credit agreement contract that must be held. The principle of Pacta Sunt Servanda as the foundation of giving direction, purpose, and fundamental value and ethical judgement to debts with property collateral with a time limit determined by the parties. However, the need for money when the receivables are not yet due encourages the receivables to be transferred into cessie, doctrinally the holder of the eigendom right has the power to eigenaar freely and to act freely on the property with full sovereignty, even so, the problem arises with the submission following the formal rules of cessie raises legal consequences, if without being notified, or in writing has been acknowledged and approved. This article questions whether the submission of receivables in the form of a unilateral legal action through cessie reflects the value of pacta sunt servanda which provides equality and justice for the parties? By applying a normative juridical research method based on a statutory approach, a legal conceptual approach, and a case approach, it strengthens the results prescriptively analytically, related to cessie which is worth justice being a hope for the business world, preventing potential legal uncertainty, avoiding potential disputes over the implementation of the transfer of receivables, preventing economic losses, by internalising the value of legal certainty and justice. The value of pacta sunt servanda in this case relates to the equal position between the creditor and the debtor, this aspect also emphasises the guarantee of human rights for the parties to the agreement, as well as legal certainty and predictability in the process of fulfilling the provisions of the rights and obligations of the agreement agreed by the parties

O controle social institucionalizado como garantia de proteção dos direitos humanos e o direito da saúde no enfrentamento às emergências em saúde pública no Maranhão
Authors: Freitas Junior Luciano Mamede de , Chai Cássius Guimarães 
Published: April 2024

O Estado Democrático de Direito tem e a força legitimadora que valida esse direito tem a participação popular como combustível da democracia, onde as políticas públicas são sugeridas, desenvolvidas e aplicadas em razão da participação da sociedade civil. As emergências em saúde provocam a exposição das fragilidades institucionais na garantia de direitos humanos e da saúde, impactando diretamente nas populações vulneráveis, assim como nas estruturas dos sistemas de saúde. Nesta senda, o controle social em saúde do Maranhão tem papel como instrumento na garantia desses direitos impactados. O presente trabalho aborda a perspectiva do controle social institucionalizado como garantia dos direitos humanos e direito em saúde no enfrentamento às emergências em saúde pública no Maranhão, tratando da discussão sobre a base democática desses direitos com enfoque Habermasiano. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica realizada pelo método sociojurídico-crítico, visando a um aprofundamento teórico para a efetivação do esclarecimento dos motivos da análise. No enfrentamento da emergências em saúde pública é intuitivo que o direito fundamental em risco é a saúde, cujo suporte fático resultante da combinação do seu âmbito de proteção e intervenção, revela a necessidade de fazer cessar a proteção deficiente e assegurar que os titulares do direito não sejam expostos indevidamente ao risco de contágio. A necessidade de atuação do controle social institucionalizado no qual a sociedade civil é partícipe, atua no controle, monitoramento e fiscalização das ações, planos, metas, diretrizes e objetivos do SUS para o enfrentamento das emergências em saúde pública, com vistas à promoção, proteção, prevenção e recuperação da saúde das pessoas, e é imprescindível sob o prisma do exercício dos poderes na República, pois acima de tudo, além de garantir o direito à saúde, favorece o exercício do controle social.

Ageism, gerontological nursing and healthcare contexts
Professors Kathleen Hunter and Sherry Dahlke from the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Nursing explain why gerontological nursing education is key to addressing the unconscious negative stereotypes about ageing and improving care for older adults. Ageism is worldwide and is apparent in healthcare professions and health systems. (1) This is partly due to healthcare systems, particularly hospitals, that are institutionally ageist because they are designed for younger people with one acute condition rather than the majority of users who are older adults with chronic and acute conditions. (2) Moreover, healthcare professionals, of which nurses are the largest group that interact with patients, may be unconscious about their negative biases towards older people. Nurses’ unconscious biases are often demonstrated by overaccommodating older patients due to an underlying belief that older people are less capable. (3) Nurses may feel pressured to engage in overaccommodation to save time because they are working in hospitals where they experience time constraints due to short staffing, lack of material resources, and hospital cultures that focus on medical acuity.

Combatting organizational silence: How to have an honest conversation
Hewlett Packard’s Santa Rosa Systems Division was formed to take HP into a new and growing internet market. Yet, two years later, growth and profits were so disappointing that the senior team thought they were six months from being replaced. What saved them? An honest conversation about what was going wrong and overcoming organizational silence. Everyone in SRSD knew what the problems were, but no one could find a way to talk openly about it. Research – our own and others’ – finds that 80% of business, nonprofit, educational, governmental, and nongovernmental institutions fail to confront the truth about the flaws in their system of organizing, managing, and leading that keep them from carrying out their strategies. This phenomenon is called organizational silence. It undermines employee engagement, trust, and commitment and thus prevents senior management from learning about what is working and not working. Organizations beset with organizational silence are stuck in neutral, generally unable to learn what is holding them back and unable to change even what they do know about.
