Respuesta reproductiva de las cabras anéstricas sometidas al efecto macho utilizando machos de alta y baja jerarquía
Authors: Cedillo-Ramírez Laura Maribel , Flores-Cabrera José Alfredo 
Published: January 2024

El propósito de este estudio consistió en determinar la respuesta reproductiva de las cabras anéstricas estimuladas mediante el efecto macho, con machos de alta y baja jerarquía social. Se utilizaron 50 hembras anovulatorias adultas, que se dividieron en dos grupos: uno de cabras (n= 27) que se expuso a tres machos de baja jerarquía social y otro más de hembras (n= 23) fue expuesto a tres machos de alta jerarquía social. Las hembras permanecieron en contacto con los machos durante 18 días. El porcentaje de hembras que ovularon del día 6 al 18 después de la introducción de los machos se determinó mediante dos ultrasonografías transrectales, las cuales se efectuaron del día 6 al 18 después de la introducción de los machos, con un equipo Scanner modo-B (Aloka SSD, Tokio, Japón), equipado con un transductor lineal de 7.5 MHz. El criterio para determinar si una hembra había ovulado fue la presencia de al menos un cuerpo lúteo en los ovarios. La fertilidad al parto se determinó mediante el número de cabras paridas entre el número total de cabras, y la prolificidad mediante el número de cabritos que nacieron entre el número de cabras paridas. Las proporciones de las hembras que ovularon y la fertilidad al parto se compararon mediante la prueba de Chi-cuadrada, en tanto que la prolificidad se comparó mediante una prueba no paramétrica de U de Mann-Whitney. El porcentaje de hembras que tuvieron ovulaciones durante los primeros seis días de exposición a los machos no difirió (P>0.05) con el de las hembras expuestas a machos de baja jerarquía (63.9%), ni con aquellas estimuladas con machos de alta jerarquía social (78.3%). De igual manera, en la segunda ovulación inducida (día 7-18), el número de hembras que ovularon no fue diferente (P<0.05) al de las hembras de los dos grupos (88.9 y 100%, para las hembras estimuladas con machos de baja y alta jerarquía, respectivamente). En la fertilidad y la prolificidad no se registró diferencia entre las hembras estimuladas con machos de alta y baja jerarquía (P>0.05), por lo que se concluyó que la jerarquía social de los machos no afectó la res puesta reproductiva de las cabras anéstricas estimuladas mediante el efecto macho.

Published: January 2024

El ingreso de México al gatt en 1986, trajo consigo la disminución de barreras a la importación. A este hecho se le denomina: recibir el trato de nación más favorecida. México signó con Japón un Acuerdo de Complementariedad Económica que entró en vigor a partir de 2005. Japón es un gran consumidor de carne de puerco y paga excelentes precios por ella. Entre sus principales proveedores se encuentran Estados Unidos y Canadá, miembros del tlcan que establece preferencias arancelarias para la importación y exportación de productos agropecuarios que podrían propiciar la triangulación. El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar la competitividad de la carne de puerco de los países integrantes del tlcan en el mercado japonés. El periodo de análisis comprendió de 1998 a 2012. Se utilizó el modelo no lineal sdaids (por sus siglas en inglés). Las pruebas de significancia se realizaron utilizando el procedimiento de Chalfant. En relación a las elasticidades de ingreso, cabe observar que todas resultan positivas, acordes con la teoría que indica una relación directa entre los gastos por importaciones con la cantidad demandada de productos cárnicos. En el caso de Estados Unidos de Norteamérica y México tienen un nivel de significancia del 1%; las de los tres países del tlcan resultan todas menores que uno, lo que indica que las importaciones provenientes de países del resto del mundo son más sensibles a los cambios en el gasto. México tiene una ventana de oportunidad de mercado para ampliar sus exportaciones de carne de puerco a Japón.

Published: January 2024

This paper provides an analysis of the current trend in HR practices and demonstrates added value for the management of healthcare organizations. This is done because of the assessment of the human resource function and explores the value of adding elements of human resource management and compares the risk reduction of its features. The results of this analysis show that, although high functions do not add value, they can also help to identify risks, which allows the development of strategies to reduce the impact of these risks.
The paper refers to the reasons for the emphasis on added value, the aspect of human resources is due to professionals and the desire to be involved in the earliest stages of the decision-making process. The paper concludes the opposite view that HR professionals would become preoccupied with showing added value, arguing that the strategic importance of HR management reveals itself over time.

International politics is not like laboratory science. Controlled experiments do not exist because it is impossible to hold other things constant by looking at one thing that changes. Aristotle said that one can be as precise in a science as the subject (science) allows.
The modern world is situated between the paradigm of global community and the paradigm of global turmoil. Contemporary international relations lie between state-centric and transnational visions of the future. The modern world, on the other hand, is between increasing interdependence and increasing conflict.

Published: January 2024

This study aimed to know the dynamic of survival rate and growth of Rhizophora mucronata Lamk which planted by using propagules at Alo Beach, Karakelang Island, Talaud. The study was conducted from June 2013 to April 2017, used a complete randomized design with 6 treatments i.e. K1, K2, K3, K4, K5, K6. The amount of propagules in every treatment were 100 pieces each. The parameter observed were characteristic of substrat, survival rate,height and diameter of the plant’s in age of 1.5 months and 48 months. The results showed that treatment had a significant effect on survival rate and growth of Rhizophora mucronata plants. The rehabilitation was categorized as success at 1.5 months old, but it was failed inthe 48 months. Beside waves and tides, low substrat nutrition became the main factor that affect the success of mangrove rehabilitation in Alo Beach.The K5 treatment has the highest survival and growth rate of the plant. The K5 treatment using pnematophore as brace, while planting without brace/K1 has lowest survival and growth rate since months old.

Ødelæggelsens billeder
Authors: Thorsen Terne 
Published: January 2024

During the past years statues and monuments that were previously invisible, have now become impossible to overlook. The contestation of monuments commemorating questionable aspects of European and American history culminated in 2020 with the unauthorized removal of several statues. While iconoclasm has always been a part of protests, the paradox of iconoclasm today is that it is both perceived as vandalism (deemed not compatible with democracy) and as an important tool for democratization.
With this paradox as a starting point, this paper questions the perception of iconoclasm as a solely destructive act, by examining it as an image-creating protest language. Through an analysis of three examples of contemporary events, the article argues that these events are producing images as much as they are destroying them. The images created at these events are an important part of the protests that provided these images – both in the articulation and communication of the protest and in the visualization of what is being protested.
The article suggests that this kind of image-creating iconoclasm works as a transformative image analysis that analyzes images (like statues and monuments) through a physical and/or symbolic intervention. This way, the analysis transforms the image into a tool for resistance: A monument once celebrating an oppressor, now broken and covered in graffiti, is transformed into an object for those who it oppressed and those who resisted.
Enseigner le vocabulaire scolaire en soutien linguistique au secondaire : regard sur trois activités plurilingues
Authors: Rousseau Pascale , Maynard Catherine 
Published: January 2024

Hors de la métropole montréalaise, les élèves bi/plurilingues au secondaire sont le plus souvent intégrés en classe ordinaire dès leur arrivée à l’école québécoise francophone (De Koninck et Armand, 2012). Un service de soutien linguistique leur est alors offert pour les accompagner dans le double apprentissage qui les attend, c’est-à-dire celui du français, la langue d’enseignement, et celui des contenus disciplinaires. Pour relever ce défi, ces élèves, qui disposent d’un répertoire plurilingue pouvant servir de levier en classe (Cummins, 2021), doivent notamment développer leur vocabulaire en français, et plus particulièrement un vocabulaire scolaire central aux apprentissages disciplinaires (Short et Echevarría, 2016). Ainsi, la recherche-action ici présentée visait à répondre à la question suivante : Comment favoriser l’enseignement-apprentissage du vocabulaire scolaire en soutien linguistique au secondaire en prenant appui sur le répertoire plurilingue des élèves ? Pour y répondre, un portrait des besoins des enseignants à cet égard a d’abord été dressé. En fonction de ces besoins, trois activités ont ensuite été conçues et expérimentées avec trois groupes d’élèves. Des entretiens semi-dirigés avec les trois enseignants des groupes d’élèves ayant participé à la mise à l’essai révèlent le potentiel des activités expérimentées de même que des pistes pour les bonifier.
L’expérience de la maladie chronique et processus de biographisation : l’éducation thérapeutique comme espace relationnel d’un entre-deux identitaire
Authors: Dolcerocca Marie-Amélie , Daguzan Alexandre 
Published: January 2024

L’annonce de la maladie est synonyme d’un basculement, d’une bifurcation biographique qui s’apparente à un processus de deuil, entraînant dans son sillage un fracas du moi social. Le passage d’un idéal de pleine santé à un état de personne malade immisce différentes fractures dans le parcours de vie de l’individu qui laissent place à un processus de biographisation. Pour l’illustrer, le récit de vie d’une personne diabétique permet d’analyser différents points de bifurcations biographiques. L’analyse du processus de subjectivation met en exergue différentes reconstructions des dimensions du soi à travers l’expérience d’éducation thérapeutique pensée comme un espace relationnel d’entre-deux identitaire.
Education and Culture: Pluralism in the Age of Globalization
Authors: Iuso Salvatore , Marinaro Pia 
Published: January 2024

Abstract In an era increasingly characterized by pluralism and globalization, intercultural pedagogy represents a starting point for addressing the challenges that today’s society confronts us with daily. Throughout history, cultures have changed through interactions, exchanges, and hybridization, leading to the formation of an increasingly pluralistic and multicultural society. Against this background, it is crucial to develop approaches based on dialogue and mutual recognition. However, acceptance and willingness to encounter require an educational path that is promoted by schools from childhood, especially in view of the monocultural mentality that too often characterizes more and more people and prevents the opening of a path that counteracts ethnocentrism in favor of a broader perspective. From this point of view, intercultural pedagogy proves to be the only approach that can guarantee the formation of individuals ready to create a truly multicultural society.
The Gift of Desire: The “inner voice” between Neuroscience and Theory of Attachment
Authors: Savino Anna 
Published: January 2024

Abstract What is profoundly under question, especially today, in the aftermath of the pandemic, is on one hand the phenomenon of desire, on the other hand the experience and capability of desiring of the human being. Taking a look at the social situation of the country – recalling first the investigation of the 44th Censis Report 2010, the contents of which in some ways are re-proposed in a naturally volved way in the following one of 2020 –, we are given an image that relaunches our thought owards a need to deepen the ontology of desire and a possible educational pedagogy about it. Our society is depicted as “with no inner desire”: a crisis of desire emerges, in the sense of a crisis about the power of having a vision about the future and capacity of planning with excitement. In this paper, recalling Kant and his transcendental productive imagination as well as the new path of affective neurosciences perspective, going through the Theory of Attachment, I aim at opening a possible way to overcome this impossibility to desire arguing a different hermeneutics in comparison to what the tradition, especially that of J. Lacan, left us about this important and vital faculty of the human being.

Authors: Mulenga Juliet , Ng’andwe Brian , Moonga Phyliss , Buchan John , Foster Allen 
Published: January 2024

Purpose: Orbital, Oculoplastic including Ocular Oncology are not only sight threatening but potentially life threatening. This study examines the causes of these conditions at University Teaching Hospitals-Eye Hospital in Lusaka Zambia.
Methods: A retrospective review of 150 case files of patients with an Orbital, Oculoplastic and Ocular Oncology diagnosis presenting at UTHs-EH over a 4-year period, 2018-2021.
Results: Of the 150 cases 54% were under the age of 40 years. The most common condition seen was squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva (SCC), usually confined to the globe, but sometimes spreading to the orbit. There was a positive association between HIV infection and SCC.
Conclusion: This study at University Teaching Hospital revealed a spectrum of orbital and oculoplastic diseases, with Squamous Cell Carcinoma emerging as a predominant concern. The insights gained pave the way for enhanced service delivery. These findings, while specific to Zambia, hold relevance for the broader African context, offering a basis for future assessments, interventions, and policy enhancements.
Metal Oxide / Silica and Metal / Silica Nanocomposites from Organofunctional Single‐Source Sol‐Gel Precursors
Authors: Schubert U. 
Published: March 2004

AbstractSingle‐source precursors of the type (RO)3Si‐X‐M, where X represents a tethering organic group and M a metal‐containing unit (metal ion or metal alkoxide group), allow the preparation of MOx/SiO2 or M/SiO2 nanocomposites with a controllable nanoparticle size. After sol‐gel processing, the organic groups are removed by controlled thermal treatment, whereby the metal oxide nanoparticles are formed. This approach is exemplified for precursors based on amino‐substituted (for the late transition metals) and β‐diketonate‐substituted alkoxysilanes (for the early transition metals).
Synthesis and Properties of Nanocomposites
Authors: Vollath D. , Szabó D.V. 
Published: March 2004

AbstractNanocomposites may exhibit new properties of technical interest. Technical applications require many particles, leading to interaction of the particles thwarting the performance of these materials. To exploit specific nano‐properties, the use of composites preventing the particles from interaction is necessary. This leads to the application of nanocomposites. The most homogeneous composites consist of a core coated with an outer layer of a second ceramic or a polymer. For industrial or at least semi‐industrial production of nanocomposites, a process leading to non‐agglomerated powders in a sufficient quantity is needed. Additionally, coating of the particles with either a second ceramic phase or an organic one is necessary. The Karlsruhe Microwave Plasma Process fulfils these conditions.
