Sixty-four Pelibuey × Katahdin male lambs (14.3± 2.2 kg initial live weight) were used in an 84-d growing-finishing trial to evaluate optimal levels of inclusion of whole cottonseed (WCS) in a broom sorghum panicle residue-based diet. Dietary treatments consisted in partial replacement of broom sorghum panicle residue (SPR) and tallow with 0, 10, 20 or 30% WCS. Control diet contained 66.5% PSR and 3% tallow, and replacing were as follows: 10% of WCS replaced 9% SPR and 1% tallow (WCS10), 20% WCS replaced 18 SPR and 2% tallow (WCS20), and 30% WCS replaced 27% SPR and 3% tallow (WCS30). Inclusion of WCS increased (quadratic component, P=0.03) average daily gain (ADG), dry matter intake (DMI) and gain efficiency. However, with increasing level of WCS substitution the observed/expected dietary net energy ratio decreased (linear effect, P<0.01). The estimated NEm value for WCS determining by the replacement technique at the 10, 20 and 30% levels of inclusion were 2.48, 2.23, and 2.15 Mcal/kg, respectively. Consistent with the increased final weight, hot carcass weight and longissimus muscle area were increased (linear effect, P≤0.03) with increasing level of WCS inclusion. While, dressing percentage and fat thickness tended to increase (linear effect, P=0.10) with increasing WCS level. The partially replacement of broom sorghum panicle residue and tallow by up to 20% inclusion of WCS in finishing diets for lambs enhances ADG, gain efficiency, carcass weight, and LM area. However, the net energy value of WCS decreases with level of inclusion greater than 10%.

Published: January 2023

In this study, detection of BHV-1 infections in cattle by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and investigation of the risk factors associated with the spread of the virus within the herd were aimed. Three dairy farms were selected in the Thrace district, Marmara region, Turkey, and two visits to these farms. A questionnaire was prepared for the farmers. On the first visit, 4 (14.81%) of 27 animals on Farm 1, 6 (28.57%) of 21 animals in farm 2, and 3 (7.31%) of 41 animals in Farm 3 were found to be seropositive for BHV-1. On the second visit, 6 (25%) of 24 animals in Farm 1, 6 (35.29%) of 17 animals in Farm 2, and 6 (20%) of 30 animals in Farm 3 were found to be seropositive for BHV-1. Thirteen (14.6%) of 89 blood samples were seropositive at the first sampling and 18 (25.35%) of 71 blood samples in the second sampling. Two calves belonging to 7 cows that were found to be seropositive at the first visit, and the calves of four of 10 mothers found to be seropositive at the second visit were also found seropositive. BHV-1 DNA was detected in only 3 of the 43 milk samples taken during the first and second visits (2 on the first visit, one on the second visit), and 13 of 160 nasal swabs (8 on the first visit, five on the second visit). All the cows with three milk samples whose BHV-1 DNA was detected by PCR were determined as seropositive. Three of the eight cattle with BHV-1 DNA detected in nasal swabs on the first visit, and 4 of the five cattle with BHV-1 DNA detected in nasal swabs on the second visit were detected seropositive by ELISA. The statistical analysis has shown that the association between age, sex, and BHV-1 seropositivity was statistically significant. The BHV-1 seroprevalence was increased in animals on the second visit in all farms. The preventive measurements need to be applied in Turkey to control BHV-1 infections in cattle.

Published: January 2023

This study was performed to determine the prevalence of Neospora caninum in female hair goats raised in different locations of the Siirt province of Turkey, and to investigate the total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), Zinc (Zn), and Copper (Cu) levels of the infected goats. The animal material of the study consists of a total of 184 female hair goats that are between 1 to 6 years old with the random sampling method. Investigation of the N.caninum antibodies was then performed using a commercial ELISA kit. The results of the ELISA tests reveal that the prevalence of N. caninum in the province of Siirt was 10.33% (19/184) positive, 7.61% (14/184) suspected, and 82.07% (151/184) negative. According to the ELISA test results, 10 seropositive and 10 seronegative sera samples were used in the TAS, TOS, Zn, and Cu analysis. The TAS (p<0.01) and Zn (p<0.001) levels of goats positive with N. caninum were found to be lower compared to those of the seronegative goats, while their TOS and Cu levels were higher (p<0.05). This study was the first to determine the N.caninum prevalence in the goats raised in the province of Siirt. It was concluded that it would be beneficial to take precautionary measures, as well as further studies with larger scopes to be performed which should also involve dogs as the final hosts. Furthermore, the oxidative stress parameters (TAS, TOS) and certain trace elements (Zn, Cu) were found to be affected by the Neosporosis, which should be useful in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
Use of Spirulina Platensis in Japanese quail diets in fattening period and responses of performance, meat quality and immunity
Authors: Göçmen R 
Published: January 2023

This study was carried out to determine the effects of different levels of Spirulina Platensis(SP)in Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) diet on performance, meat color, meat quality, and immune response. A total of 250 1-d old Japanese quails were randomly distributed to five dietary groups with five replicates.. The powder form of SP was used and experimental diets formulated according to inclusion levels as; The negative control group (NC)(Basal diet- 0% SP-no vaccine)),the control group (C) (Basal diet, 0%SP -vaccinated) the SP1 group (basal diet-2.5%SP,vaccinated), the SP2 group (basal diet- 5% SP, vaccinated) and the SP3 group (basal diet- 7.5% SP, vaccinated). During five weeks experiment, growth performance parameters were determined and at the end of the trial a total of 75 quails (15 quails from each group) were slaughtered and antibody titers (ABT) against the Newcastle (ND) vaccine, meat color values, meat quality parameters were detected and some visceral organs were weighted. Results showed that the inclusion of SP to quail diets at the level of 2.5% increased the final live weight (FLW) and total body weight gain (TBWG) significantly (P<0.05) compared the other groups. The highest feed consumption (FC) was detected in the control group and the best feed conversion ratio was found in SP1 group (P<0.05). Dietary SP did not affect carcass yield, liver, and bursa weights (P>0.05), however, the carcass weight was affected by SP in the diet and the highest value found in the SP1 group (P<0.05). Color values of breast meat changed as depend on level of the dietary SP and a* and b* values increased by the addition of 2.5%, SP to diet. Breast meat pH value, cook loss (CL), and water holding capacity (WHC) affected by the SP supplementation and the highest values were determined in the control group (P<0.05). ABT reading against the ND vaccine was similar between all vaccinated groups independently from the level of dietary SP but significantly low in the NC group (P<0.05). In a conclusion, the use of SP in quail diets at the level of 2.5 % may positively influence performance, carcass weight breast meat quality parameters, color values.

Published: January 2023

Chlamydiosis due to Chlamydia abortus is one of the most common causes of abortion in small ruminant flocks worldwide. Although the causative agent is zoonotic, chlamydiosis is not a reportable disease. There is lack of recent data concerning sheep chlamydiosis in Greece.In the current study, a serological investigation for Chlamydia abortus was conducted. Blood samples from 26 randomly selected sheep flocks not vaccinated against chlamydiosis were collected. From each flock, 15 to 20 blood samples were taken from adult female sheep. In total 464 blood samples were examined. One hundred and six samples were positive (22.8%), while 24 samples (5.24%) were doubtful. Moreover, at farm level, in 18 out of the total number of 26 farms, at least one positive animal was detected (69.2%).Chlamydiosis is considered a highly likely cause of sheep abortion in Greece. Therefore, vaccination of the sheep flocks is strongly recommended for the prevention and control of the disease.

Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces the risk of death and is recommended as a treatment for women with severe postpartum bleeding. There is hope that giving TXA shortly before or immediately after birth could prevent postpartum bleeding. Extending the use of TXA to prevent harmful postpartum bleeding could improve outcomes for millions of women; however, we must carefully consider the balance of benefits and potential harms. This article describes the protocol for a systematic review and individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness and safety of TXA for preventing postpartum bleeding, and to explore how the effects vary by underlying risk and other patient characteristics. Methods: We will search for prospectively registered, randomised controlled trials involving 500 patients or more assessing the effects of TXA in women giving birth. Two authors will extract data and assess risk of bias. IPD data will be sought from eligible trials. Primary outcomes will be life-threatening bleeding and thromboembolic events. We will use a one-stage model to analyse the data. Subgroup analyses will be conducted to explore whether the effectiveness and safety of TXA varies by underlying risk, type birth, maternal haemoglobin (Hb), and timing of TXA. Conclusions: This systematic review and IPD meta-analysis will address important clinical questions about the effectiveness and safety of the use of TXA for the prevention of postpartum bleeding that cannot be answered reliably using aggregate data and will inform the decision of who to treat.

Sancta obedientia
Authors: Sarnowsky Jürgen 
Published: January 2023

Gehorsam gehört zu den drei monastischen Gelübden, die für alle monastischen Institutionen zentral waren. Daher wurde er auch mit dem Hinweis auf den Gehorsam Christi gegenüber Gottvater propagiert und mit dem Attribut der Heiligkeit versehen. Das gilt nicht zuletzt für die geistlichen Ritterorden, deren komplexe Aufgaben es notwendig machten, dass die Befehle der Oberen auch eingehalten wurden. Der Begriff erscheint so vielfach in der internen Korrespondenz, bei der Übergabe von Ämtern wie auch bei den Hinweisen auf die Gründiungsaufgaben der Orden.
Allerdings gab es auch Grenzen für den geforderten Gehorsam. So bestimmten die Stabilimenta der Johanniter, dass die Befehle der Meister nur befolgt werden durften, wenn sie nicht den Statuten zuwiderliefen, wie dies im Fall der gerade erst gewählten Meisters Guillaume de Villaret deutlich wird. Aber auch allgemein bot der Einfluss der höhergestellten Brüder ein Gegengewicht zur Autorität der Meister, wie auch die Fälle des Rücktritts oder der Absetzung von Meistern zeigen. Gehorsam funktionierte somit in beiden Richtungen, zumal auch die Meister an die Statuten gebunden waren.
Clearing the air: A systematic review of mass media campaigns to increase indoor radon testing and remediation
Authors: Apers Sofie , Vandebosch Heidi , Perko Tanja 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Indoor radon is a natural radioactive gas that enters homes through cracks in the foundations. It is one of the leading causes of lung cancer. Although radon can be detected with an indoor radon test and can be mitigated by means of either ventilation or professional measures, testing and mitigating rates of the at-risk population remain insufficient. The objective of this study is to systematically review the current level of evidence regarding the design and effectiveness of mass media campaigns to address the health risks of indoor radon to homeowners. The results show that informative tone of voices prevailed, other components, such as emotional or social components, were often not included. Furthermore, the focus was mostly on intention and less on behavior itself, and on testing instead of mitigation. Further research is needed to test effective and innovative communication strategies to increase protective behavior concerning indoor radon.
On Cauchy problem for pseudo-parabolic equation with Caputo-Fabrizio operator
Authors: Nghia Bui Dai , Nguyen Van Tien , Long Le Dinh 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this article, we considered the pseudo-parabolic equation with Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative. This equation has many applications in different fields, such as science, technology, and so on. In this article, we gave the formula of mild solution, which is represented in the form of Fourier series by some operators . In the linear case, we investigated the continuity of the mild solution with respect to the fractional order. For the nonlinear case, we investigated the existence and uniqueness of a global solution. The main proof technique is based on the Banach fixed point theorem combined with some Sobolev embeddings. For more detailed, we obtained two other interesting results: the continuity of mild solution with respect to the derivative order and the convergence of solution as the coefficient k approaches to zero.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to describe several experiences of STEMbach in different areas: engineering, economics, materials, etc. The STEMbach is a program carried out by high school students during their two years of study to obtain their High School Diploma (equivalent to A-levels), designed for both the Humanities and Sciences modalities, and created alongside the Galician strategy for digital education. It encourages the vocation of the scholars towards scientific and technological research and allows a connection directly with the college education. The STEM works explained in this work were developed between the University of A Coruña and several high schools located in the region of Galicia (North-West of Spain). Results were very constructive for promoting STEM careers.
Multimodal Brain Signal Complexity Predicts Human Intelligence
Authors: Thiele Jonas A. , Richter Aylin , Hilger Kirsten 
Published: January 2023

AbstractSpontaneous brain activity builds the foundation for human cognitive processing during external demands. Neuroimaging studies based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) identified specific characteristics of spontaneous (intrinsic) brain dynamics to be associated with individual differences in general cognitive ability, i.e., intelligence. However, fMRI research is inherently limited by low temporal resolution, thus, preventing conclusions about neural fluctuations within the range of milliseconds. Here, we used resting-state electroencephalographical (EEG) recordings from 144 healthy adults to test whether individual differences in intelligence (Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices scores) can be predicted from the complexity of temporally highly resolved intrinsic brain signals. We compared different operationalizations of brain signal complexity (multiscale entropy, Shannon entropy, Fuzzy entropy, and specific characteristics of microstates) regarding their relation to intelligence. The results indicate that associations between brain signal complexity measures and intelligence are of small effect sizes (r∼ 0.20) and vary across different spatial and temporal scales. Specifically, higher intelligence scores were associated with lower complexity in local aspects of neural processing, and less activity in task-negative brain regions belonging to the default-mode network. Finally, we combined multiple measures of brain signal complexity to show that individual intelligence scores can be significantly predicted with a multimodal model within the sample (10-fold cross-validation) as well as in an independent sample (external replication,N = 57). In sum, our results highlight the temporal and spatial dependency of associations between intelligence and intrinsic brain dynamics, proposing multimodal approaches as promising means for future neuroscientific research on complex human traits.

Published: January 2023

Background and aim. Inappropriate use of antibiotics may increase antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among different microorganisms and may lead to treatment failure in neonatal septicemia. The aim of this study was to recognize the most common microorganisms responsible for neonatal sepsis and to evaluate the trend of change of resistance pattern among microorganisms.
Methods. This study was done retrospectively on 344 cases diagnosed with neonatal sepsis, including both early and late onset cases, admitted to the tertiary care teaching hospital of southern India from January 2012 to July 2017. Accordingly, 231 culture positive neonatal sepsis cases were collected from hospital data base and analyzed. Culture positive cases within 72 hours of life were termed as early onset while after 72 hours were late onset. Antibiotics utilization during the period was calculated using WHO AMC tool and reported as (DDD)/100 bed days.
Results. Klebsiella pneumoniae with 56 (21.8%) and Coagulase negative Staphylococcus with 52 (20.2%) cases were the most frequent isolated organisms which were responsible for 55.8% and 14.6% of deaths among the study subjects respectively. Amikacin (86.7%), vancomycin (52.3%) and ampicillin (40.6%) were the most used antibiotics in terms of DDD/100 bed days.
Conclusion. The results obtained from our study have brought substantial information on the antibiotic resistance pattern among microorganisms causing neonatal sepsis. Moreover, results obtained from this study can be used for designing antibiotic stewardship policies to prevent the emergence of resistance and to improve the treatment outcome.
Tianguis y ciudad: comercio, espacio público y criticalidad urbana en el noreste mexicano
Authors: Ramírez Ibarra Ramón 
Published: January 2023

Una de las formas de análisis menos empleadas para el estudio politológico de la ciudadanía, proviene de la referencia a la cultura urbana. Por lo general, se vierten centenares de páginas en función de nociones fuertes como estado, nacionalidad, gobernabilidad con muy poca apertura hacia un contexto reflexivo de los tópicos políticos y su vinculación con prácticas concretas como la urbanidad. En tal perspectiva, hay pocos análisis centrados en la relación de la ciudad, entendida como espacio público y la ciudadanía como una condición de atribución o estatus que asigna deberes y derechos igualitarios a los individuos en un determinado territorio, una escala social indispensable en toda proyección urbana. En el siguiente texto propongo una reflexión partiendo de la simetría analítica entre politología y expresión urbana en tanto forma de diálogo, cuyo fin es el ejercicio de la noción de espacio público como elemento estructurante de la experiencia del hacer ciudad a través de un elemento cotidiano, el tianguis, reconociendo los elementos de esta práctica en una de las mayores regiones metropolitanas de México, la Zona Metropolitana de Monterrey (ZMM).

Published: January 2023

Introducción. La cerda moderna tiene la capacidad genética de producir un mayor número de lechones por camada y una mayor producción de leche, lo que conlleva que el animal tenga mayores requerimientos de nutrientes. Objetivo. Evaluar el desempeño productivo de las cerdas y su progenie a la suplementación de un producto comercial a base de extracto seco de alcuacil (Cynara scolymus) e hidrocloruro de betaína durante el período de lactancia. Materiales y métodos. El estudio se llevó a cabo durante el primer semestre del año 2020, en la provincia de Limón, Costa Rica. Se utilizaron un total de 42 cerdas en etapa de lactancia que fueron distribuidas en tres tratamientos: dieta control (T1), dieta control + 0,25 kg t-1 de producto comercial (T2) y dieta control + 0,50 kg t-1 de producto comercial (T3), todos los tratamientos fueron isoproteicos e isoenergéticos. Resultados. La inclusión del aditivo mostró una tendencia a la mejora (p=0,09) de los parámetros evaluados en la cerda. La pérdida de condición corporal al final de la lactancia fue menor (p=0,03) en T2, mientras que la suplementación con 0,50 kg t-1 de producto comercial presentó resultados intermedios. Los parámetros evaluados en la camada (peso al destete, ganancia de peso y cantidad de lechones destetados por cerda) no presentaron diferencias significativas (p>0,05) entre tratamientos. Conclusión. El uso del aditivo mostró una tendencia a mejorar el consumo de alimento en la cerda durante la etapa de lactancia, lo que disminuyó las pérdidas de peso y condición corporal durante este periodo. La inclusión del aditivo no mejoró el desempeño productivo de los lechones.
