description: This review paper was created by Gemini Advanced 2.0 in response to the following prompt: “can you find me references for research studies carried out on dead rats to test for toxicity levels in the environment?” The prompt was provided by Sabina Leonelli as a registered user (who trained the system with her writings co-authored with Rachel Ankeny) on May 02, 2025, and refined through a thread on which search methods Gemini was going to use for this search. Leonelli and Ankeny note that what makes this review particularly useful is the ability of Gemini to cross-reference published academic literature and grey literature from toxicology reports and privately commissioned studies.
Distinct society: Cultural identity in twentieth-century Newfoundland literature
Creators: name: Fowler, Adrian
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Literature, Modern.
subject: Literature, Canadian (English).

description: This thesis examines selected representations of Newfoundland cultural identity in twentieth century Newfoundland literature from Norman Duncan, E. J. Pratt and George Allan England to Bernice Morgan, Patrick Kavanagh and Wayne Johnston. The discussion is located within a broad context of popular and scholarly writings on the subject and a conceptual framework influenced by Benedict Anderson's book Imagined Communities and Seamus Heaney's essay "The Sense of Place." Nineteenth century attempts to maintain the distinctiveness of Newfoundland identity were politically motivated by advocates of home rule, civil liberties and sovereignty, and constituted part of the rhetoric and mobilization that resulted in responsible government and dominion status for the colony. In the twentieth century, a variety of writers addressed the subject, some from the perspective of visitors, others from the perspective of residents. Early in the century, this resulted in representations in the heroic mode that focussed upon the struggle of outport Newfoundlanders to wrest a living from the sea. At mid-century, this myth of heroic Newfoundland was supplanted by the romantic myth of the old outport in which the community life of Newfoundland coastal villages was recorded and extolled. By the 1970s, the outports had become symbolic of Newfoundland but by this time they were also beset by enormous changes brought about by the Second World War, Confederation with Canada, and government policies of industrialization and resettlement. Some writers responded by intensifying explorations of the cultural roots of the province in the traditional life, others addressed the challenges of the present, which included issues of neo-colonialism and economic imperialism as well as cultural dislocation. In all of this, Newfoundland writers contributed in significant ways to the imagining of their community and the survival of a country of the mind.

description: We have recently developed a unique monitoring system for photovoltaic power plants and have gradually improved it in recent years. The system is installed at about 80 power plants in several European countries and at one power plant in Chile. We collect and evaluate all data in our laboratory. In this paper we describe the unique design of a photovoltaic power plant in the southern hemisphere in Chile with photovoltaic panels installed on tracking stands. We present the evaluated data and we discuss their comparison with photovoltaic power plants installed in Europe. We also discuss different solar conditions of these locations.
Civil Society in Vietnam
Creators: name: Norlund, Irene
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2021

description: The concept of civil society is not familiar in the Vietnamese context, which is based on Marxist-Leninist concepts in the official political terminology of the one-party state maintained by the Communist Party. However, the term is increasingly being employed by scholars and practitioners, and even the state is beginning to open up to its use. The reasons for the change in the way the concept is perceived are partly due to international debates, the increasing role played by non-profit organisations and the change in Party policy, accepting the necessity of social work and education by organisations outside the state administration. The Civil Society Index Project (CSI) is based on a common methodology developed by CIVICUS, a research NGO. This type of project has been carried out in almost 50 countries since 2004. The article presents the rationalities and methodology behind the project and the outcomes in Vietnam. The analysis is based on a combination of research using secondary sources and intensive assessments by the Stakeholder Assessment Group (SAG), which consists of members of civil society and a few representatives of the state. Civil society in Vietnam is felt to be of considerable size, with a multitude of organisations working at all levels. On the other hand, the organisations are limited by the rules and regulations in society, and in spite of their broad bases, the dedication they show is more pronounced in poverty-relieving efforts than in more challenging advocacy. The SAG pointed out limitations for the organisations, but by and large found that they had a reasonable amount of space in which to work in Vietnam. It was more negative as regards the broader impact of civil society.

Zivilgesellschaft in Südkorea: Besonderheiten und Herausforderungen
Creators: name: Lee, Eun-Jeung
Publisher: name: ASIEN: The German Journal on Contemporary Asia
Year: 2021

description: South Korea’s civil society developed in a long struggle for a just society and democracy. During this process distinctive perceptions and expectations of civil society were formed, such as high moral standards, an emphasis on the common good and an aversion to special interests. The role and political impact of civil society have increased considerably since democratisation in 1987. Against this background, conservative newspapers in particular have nurtured a bitter debate on the political role of civil society organisations, claiming they ought to maintain political neutrality. Naturally, their real aim is to de-politicise progressive movements in civil society. Hence, this struggle is about political hegemony. In fact, the conservative and the progressive camps find themselves in a clearly antagonistic situation, with almost no institutionalised intermediation. This antagonism is largely an inheritance from the authoritarian regimes of the past, which showed no mercy towards opposition movements, and it hinders the development of one prerequisite of democracy, namely tolerance and acceptance of the Other. Overcoming this antagonism is the greatest challenge that Korean politics and civil society now face.

Rolle des Internets für die Stärkung der japanischen Zivilgesellschaft
Creators: name: Canstein, Julia
Publisher: name: ASIEN: The German Journal on Contemporary Asia
Year: 2021

description: The concept of civil society in Japan today is generally associated with non-profit organisations (NPOs). Japanese NPOs are characterised by having little political influence, few financial and personal resources and by suffering from lack of members. The paper argues that increasing their membership is essential for the reinforcement of Japanese NPOs. The main assumption is that the Internet is an effective tool for recruiting new members because its use is not restricted and is relatively cheap, thus making it an ideal channel of communication for NPOs. The paper investigates this argument by analysing the websites of NPOs from the Japanese city of Niigata to find out whether NPOs actually make efforts to recruit members via the Web. A coding frame was created for the content analysis which lists the criteria a website should possess in order to make joining the respective NPO attractive and easy. The results of the content analysis show that the Internet is not used by NPOs from Niigata as a tool for recruiting new members or it is only employed in a limited way. While more than half of the NPOs do not have a website at all, those that do fail to profit from all the possibilities the Web offers. Some NPOs make an effort to present their own group in an attractive way, but miss the opportunity to inform people about how to become a member. Others offer information about joining, but the content on their websites is out of date. The results suggest that the NPOs from Niigata have not yet recognised the Internet as an effective tool for their own reinforcement.

Les modalités d'écoute de la parole de l'enfant en matière de garde

Subjects: subject: Law.

description: Les récents développements législatifs ayant trait aux droits de l'enfant font en sorte que le libre développement de l'enfant apparaît désormais réalité. La Convention relative aux droits de l'enfant lui reconnaît, depuis 1989, le statut de sujet de droit mais aussi son droit à être entendu en fonction de son âge et son degré de maturité, principe également reconnu à l'article 34 du Code civil du Québec. En matière de garde toutefois, malgré l'adoption des nombreuses dispositions législatives relatives à l'écoute de la parole de l'enfant lors de la désunion des parents, nous constatons que peu d'enfants se prévalent véritablement de leur droit à être entendu devant les tribunaux. En droit civil québécois, l'article 34 du Code civil du Québec constitue une règle souple, l'écoute de l'enfant étant directement reliée à son âge et à son discernement. Une telle souplesse parait nécessaire à cause de la nature du sujet traité. Par contre, cette souplesse entraîne inévitablement son lot de difficultés et, à cet égard, nous déplorons les nombreuses lacunes qui résultent de son application. Tant en droit civil québécois que dans les provinces canadiennes de common law, une pluralité de modalités d'écoute de la parole de l'enfant sont mises à la disposition de l'enfant ou encore de toute personne appelée à le représenter dans le respect de ses droits.

Exploring the Realities of Japanese Civil Society through Comparison

description: Has an “associational revolution” taken place in Japan’s civil society? Is civil society in Japan “robust?” We try to provide an answer to these interesting questions by drawing on data we have accumulated from a comparative survey of civil society organizations conducted between 1997 and 2007 in ten countries, including Japan, South Korea, the United States, Germany, China, Turkey, Russia, the Philippines, Brazil and Bangladesh. In addition to the data from the ten-country survey, we used about 40,000 items of data from the 2006-07 Japan Interest Group Survey 2 (or JIGS2), which examined neighbourhood associations, social associations and NPOs in Japan. With the exception of NPOs, our analysis suggests that an “associational revolution”, defined as a rapid increase in associations, does not seem to be taking place across the nation. We can confirm such a revolution at a prefectural level, however, as is the case in Hyogo. Moreover, we find that associations closely tied to the profit sector still make up the majority of the social associations that exist and are also orientated towards economic development. As we expand our focus to include neighbourhood associations and NPOs, though, we find a Japanese civil society that has a strong grass-roots foundation.

Year: 2021

description: The emergence of a vivid civil society in Asian countries has become the focus of cientific interest for at least one decade. Until now some international surveys have presented basic data concerning the quantity and quality of civil society in various Asian countries. They allow rough descriptions concerning similarities and differences. South Korea, Japan and Viet Nam share the relatively small quantity of citizens associations, but while in South Korea associations tend to be catch-all organisations with a strong impact on policy-making, citizens associations in Japan are mostly local with rare political influence. Viet Nam in contrast can be characterized by both state sponsored and independent organisations, but social mass organisations under state control play a pivotal role. Political impact is said to be low. Japan, China, South Korea, Viet Nam differ with regard to the political system’s preconditions and the legal grounding for civil engagement. These differences may explain differences whether or not citizens interact with the state, but they do not explain the degree of political involvement of citizens associations or the fact that in all of these countries the so called association "boom" only emerged in the mid 1990ies. Therefore besides political system conditions we should take into consideration factors like experiences of national resistance and colonialism, the tradition of reliance on the state, or the tradition of community based neighbourhood groups.

Learning from success: An exploration of community-based stakeholders' views on improving care for pregnant and parenting Aboriginal people
Creators: name: Smith, Dawn

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Public Health.
subject: Native American Studies.

description: The human rights abuses and resource exploitation of Aboriginal people in Canada's colonial past and neocolonial present has left a legacy of inequitable health and social conditions that contribute to increased perinatal risk factors. The complex "system" of administration, governance and health services delivery impedes program innovation and responsiveness alienating relationships between Aboriginal people, health care providers and organizations. These dynamics underlie the problems of poor access to, participation in, and outcomes of care during pregnancy among Aboriginal women and families. The study used a critical postcolonial stance and an emancipatory methodological approach to describe community-based stakeholders' perspectives on their experiences improving care for pregnant and parenting Aboriginal women and families. Phase I exploratory interviews with 16 First Nations community, policy, and health service leaders and providers identified Aboriginal 'innovator' organizations for participation in phase II. Two Aboriginal health care organizations in one region of British Columbia participated in the comparative case study. Data were collected through exploratory interviews and small group discussions with 57 people, document review and researcher field notes and were analyzed using the interpretive descriptive method. Seventy three people participated, with 60 percent self-identified as Aboriginal and 90.4 percent women. Results show that Aboriginal parents' experience, and therefore the intention of care must be situated within an understanding of colonial and neocolonial relations, especially the intergenerational impact of residential schools; safety in health care relationships and settings; and responsiveness to peoples' experiences, priorities and capacities. Care for pregnant and parenting Aboriginal people involves multiple stakeholders who may hold different views of health care roles, relationships and decision-making. While the two cases shared a similar vision of roles and relationships, differences in processes of health system change, and in the governance models impacted the Aboriginal organizations' experiences of improving care for pregnant and parenting Aboriginal people. Greater stakeholder involvement in governance of care may enhance Aboriginal organizations' capacity to achieve safe and responsive care. This can contribute to moving forward from the intergenerational impact of residential schools, toward Aboriginal peoples' vision for strong and healthy children, families and communities.

description: Spreadsheets are used extensively in business, in many domains. The applicability of software engineering methods to spreadsheets has been a topic of research for several years, but the main focus has been on analyzing the formulas, and not on analyzing the data in the spreadsheets. One of the factors that plays a role in spreadsheet data quality is the occurrence of clones in the spreadsheet data. Clones in data are caused by copy-pasting. This is a very common practice in spreadsheet use, however, it can have a negative impact on the spreadsheet's quality, since 1) editing the copied data needs to be done in multiple places increasing maintenance effort and 2) when editing, some copies might be forgotten, leading to errors. Clone detection has been proven useful in the realm of source code analysis, in two different forms: exact clones, and clones that differ slightly, called near-miss clones. Because of the success of clone detection and removal in source code, it seems feasible to research the applicability of both techniques on clones in spreadsheet data. Our work shows that this is a promising avenue.}

Cell cycle related signaling in neuronal death
Creators: name: O'Hare, Michael J
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Biology, Neuroscience.

description: Evidence indicates that neuronal loss in the course of neurodegenerative disease often occurs through programmed death processes. The development of effective therapeutic treatments for such diseases requires detailed knowledge of the intracellular signaling pathways controlling these death processes. Previous work has identified cyclin-dependent kinases, a family of kinases normally involved in the control of cell division, as potential regulators of death in neurons. For instance, a number of events that occur during the G1 to S transition in proliferating cells, such as cyclin D/cdk4 activation and phosphorylation of its target, pRb, have been detected in dying neurons and appear to be essential for death. In the cell cycle, pRb phosphorylation is followed by activation of the transcription factor E2F1. It is not known if E2F1 is also involved in neuronal death. I found that E2F1 expression in neurons induced apoptotic death dependent on Bax but independent of p53. Also, E2F1 mRNA and protein levels increase in neurons induced to die by exposure to low concentrations of K+, and neurons from E2F1 null mice are resistant to this death. These results are consistent with participation of endogenous E2F1 in neuronal death signaling. Cdk5 is a member of the cyclin-dependent kinase family which does not have a function in the cell cycle. Instead cdk5, together with its binding partners p35 and p39, is involved in a variety of neuronal functions. Cleavage of p35 into a smaller p25 form has been shown to convert cdk5 into a death promoting kinase. However, it is not yet clear under which circumstances cdk5 signals death, and there is also some contrasting evidence suggesting cdk5 is a pro-survival factor. By targeting dominant negative cdk5 expression to either the nuclear or cytoplasmic compartments I show that cdk5 performs a pro-death function within the nucleus but a pro-survival function within the cytoplasm. The nuclear pro-death signal is relevant only when p25 is produced early, as it is following glutamate induced death, and not when it is produced late as a result of caspase activation, as it is following DNA damage.

description: [T]his report describes innovative methods used to: (a) develop and validate an anonymized registry of physicians deemed to be delivering clinical services; and (b) document the degree to which increases in the use of alternative funding have altered our capacity to count the clinical physician workforce in British Columbia. It also describes protocols designed to ensure the anonymity of physicians, outlines key elements needed in a physician registry to support population-based, provider-based and cohort analyses, assesses variations in physician supply estimates when single versus multiple data sources are used, and offers examples of how a physician registry can be used to support important, policy relevant research. The results presented here rely on data from 1996/97, 2000/01 and 2004/05.
title: An exploration of how mental health professionals position themselves in relation to advance statements: and Clinical Research Portfolio
Creators: name: Glasgow, Angela
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: advance statements, discourse analysis, professionals.

description: Background & Aims: Despite progressive legislative provisions for Advance Statements (AS), the uptake remains low. This suggests aims of empowering people with human rights on an equal basis with others are not being realised in practice. This study aimed to interview mental health professionals about AS to increase our understanding of low rates of implementation. Methods: Thirteen participants (4 Mental health nurses, 6 community psychiatric nurses and 3 psychiatrists) were recruited. They were purposively sampled because of their involvement in making treatment decisions. They participated in a semi-structured interview which was audio-recorded and transcribed. The data were analysed using Discourse Analysis to explore how participants used language to position themselves in relation to AS. Results: Five positions emerged from the data: Taking Account of Peoples’ Wishes where participants described their understanding of AS; Enabling People to Have Their Say (to a Point), where participants explained that they enable people to become involved in treatment decisions, but only when professionals judged it to be appropriate; We Know What’s Best, where participants used medical discourse when explaining what is best for people, limiting the credibility of AS; Firefighting with Risk where participants described the need to prioritise risk and crisis management over AS; and Leverage and Liability, where participants spoke of the different influences in their work. Conclusions: Legislation is not enough to improve implementation of AS and improving knowledge is unlikely to lead to change. Interventions designed to address the low uptake must consider the complexity of the system which it hopes to change while addressing the disparity in how knowledge derived from lived experience is valued. It is crucial that all stakeholders are involved in these endeavours.

description: Ziziphora capitata (Lamiaceae family) aerial parts extract contains 57 metabolites, including flavonoids, phenolic acids, anthocyanins, and coumarins, as assessed by UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS. Successive extracts (hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol 95%, and water) were tested in vitro cytotoxic activity against HepG-2, MCF-7, HCT-116, A549, and PC3 cell lines. The results revealed that hexane extract exhibited the most potent cytotoxic activity among PC3 and A549 cell lines, IC50 = 47.1 ± 1.75 and 49.2 ± 1.08 µg/mL compared to Vinblastine IC50 = 42.47 ± 1.95 and 24.64 ± 1.18 µg/mL, respectively, and had a moderate impact on the remaining cell lines. Moreover, the chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts exhibited moderate affinity among all tested cell lines. Furthermore, the total phenolic and flavonoid contents were assessed. The molecular docking simulation was performed inside the effective sites of VEGFR-2 and TS as anticancer targets for the top ten phytochemicals. The results showed higher binding energy values for VEGFR-2 than for TS compared to vinblastine and co-crystallized ligands.

Creators: name: Marquardt, Jens
Publisher: name: Frontiers Media S.A.

description: Decarbonization efforts and sustainability transformations represent highly contested socio-political projects. Yet, they often encounter various forms of depoliticization. This article illuminates how a grand socio-ecological challenge like the energy transition gets depoliticized by an unusual suspect, namely Germany's Green Party. Based on a qualitative content analysis of Green Party programs, party conventions, and additional documents published between 1980 and 2021, this article traces how the Green Party has depoliticized the energy transition over time, emphasizing a shift from radical societal change to ecological modernization. The changing stance of the German Greens on the country's energy transition reflects more profound changes of a future society the party collectively envisions through their energy and climate change agenda. These changes result from a struggle between moderates advocating incremental political reforms and radicals aiming for more fundamental and systemic societal change. By merging sustainability transition research with science and technology studies, this article makes a twofold contribution: First, it proposes a conceptual framework to investigate social and political futures envisioned through energy and climate politics. Second, the article empirically demonstrates the long process of depoliticization for an unusual but critical case. Germany's Green Party has embraced a technocentric vision of the energy transition, thereby suppressing earlier notions of broader societal change, such as anti-capitalism and energy democracy. This article spells out implications for the wider field of energy and climate politics and concludes with suggestions for future research.

description: Let K be a field of characteristic zero and let R [n] denote the polynomial ring in n variables over a ring R for any n ∈ N , n > 0. We present some basic theory for the study of locally nilpotent derivations as an effective tool in algebraic geometry. Using this tool, we examine the Cancellation Problem in affine algebraic geometry, which asks: Let A be a K -algebra such that A[1] = K [n+1]. Does it follow that A = K [n]? This problem is open for n > 2. We present the solutions to the cases n = 1 and n = 2, in the latter case essentially following the algebraic method of Crachiola and Makar-Limanov [9]. We examine a potential counterexample, R = K [X, Y, Z, T]/〈X + X ²Y + Z² + T³〉, referred to as Russell's Cubic. We show that while R closely resembles a polynomial ring in 3 variables, we have that R ≠ K&sqbl0;3&sqbr0; , a result due to Makar-Limanov [25]. This is achieved by showing that the Derksen invariant of R is not equal to the Derksen invariant of K&sqbl0;3&sqbr0; . It is unknown if R[1] is a polynomial ring in 4 variables over K , nonetheless, we examine some properties of R [1] which highlight its similarities with K&sqbl0;4&sqbr0; .

description: The impact of geographical origin on the chemical composition of acorns from Quercus species has significant attention. This study aimed to explore the phenolic composition of methanolic extracts, tocopherol content, and fatty acid composition of acorn oils from six different populations of Q. canariensis acorns. The obtained results revealed that acorn oil from BniMtir exhibited high levels of α-tocopherol (58 mg/kg). The fatty acids identified across all samples were Z-vaccenic + oleic acids (38.44–58.58%). In addition, the data highlighted the presence of quinic (32.514–60.216 µg/g DW) and gallic acids (1.674–10.849 µg/g DW), as well as catechin (+) (0.096–12.647 µg/g DW) in all populations. These variations in chemical composition from different regions are likely linked to their geographical origin. In conclusion, this study’s finding should significance for the industry, offering valuable insights into the potential production of bioactive compounds from Q. canariensis acorns, which could have various applications.
Comment " faire société " en Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick: à société civile dans oeuvre de Joseph Yvon Thériault

description: Cette thèse propose de faire une analyse de l'oeuvre du sociologue acadien Joseph Yvon Thériault sur l'agir politique en Acadie à partir d'une trame commune, récurrente durant sa carrière : la société civile. Dans ce dessein, nous nous penchons de façon chronologique sur quatre facettes de ses travaux : la société civile comme projet utopique, comme projet politique, comme communauté d'histoire et finalement, comme mode de gouvernance.
The dramatic growth of open access : implications and opportunities for resource sharing
Creators: name: Morrison, Heather
Publisher: name: Haworth Press
Year: 2008

description: The Open Access movement seeks to make scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles freely available to anyone, anywhere over the World Wide Web. There were some very significant developments in the area of Open Access (OA) in 2004, including statements by major funders in support of Open Access. There are now so many Open Access scholarly journal articles freely available, that, in the author’s opinion, being aware of, and using, the resources and related tools is now essential for libraries. Libraries can provide more resources faster for users by supplementing paid resources with ones that are Open Access. Library resources, such as link resolvers, are beginning to incorporate Open Access materials and web searches for Open Access materials. For example, the reSearcher software suite includes Open Access collections along with subscription-based resources in the CUFTS journals knowledgebase, and a web search for an Open Access copy of an article in the GODOT link resolver. SFX also incorporates Open Access journals. After exhausting more traditional resources, interlibrary loans staff are beginning to include Google searching in their workflow. This article will discuss what Open Access is, the dramatic growth of Open Access, and major collections, resources and tools. Implications, issues, and leadership opportunities for resource sharing specialists will be explored.
Korean-English Internet chat in tandem for learning language and culture: A curricular innovation in an International Languages program

description: The study reports on the learning outcomes of a thematic, task-based curricular innovation in which paired Korean and English-speaking peers, each learning the other's language and culture, collaborate on chat homework assignments and related classroom activities in an International Languages class. This study draws primarily on sociocultural theory to investigate language learning through computer-mediated communicative tasks as a socially mediated process. This ethnographically based longitudinal case study follows principles of action research to identify contributions each research tradition can make to our understanding of language learning through interaction among learners within a learning community. In order to explore second language acquisition during interaction, this study also employs an interactionist approach to examine more specific linguistic and interactional features of learners' online chat discourse in tandem. Examination of the students' online chat interactions and related tandem classroom discussions and activities between experts and novices, with the tandem partners fulfilling each role in turn, reveals how collaborative peer-peer dialogue supports knowledge-building within this cross-linguistic learning environment. Data, qualitative in nature, reveal how these students are able to learn and teach contextually meaningful and appropriate linguistic and cultural behaviour through socially mediated actions, using online peer-peer collaborative dialogue, computers and tasks as meaning-making resources within their own cross-linguistic learning community. The findings show that the online chat interactions contributed to the establishment of a community of learners and supported effective second language learning. Specifically they show the ways in which learners appropriated a variety of language practices from one another, developed awareness of self in relation to others, and participated in expert and novice discursive learning practices in the construction of meaning. During collaborative peer-peer conversations, they adapted their language and negotiated meaning to facilitate communication and enhance their second language learning. Both qualitative and quantitative data on their second language learning outcomes, including growth of vocabulary and explicit learning of L2 cultural concepts from thematic tasks show important learning outcomes for both groups. The findings of the study extend our understanding of what it means to learn a language and engage with another culture.

description: The goat milk production sector is growing in Latvia, therefore detailed studies are required to examine goat milk suitability for cheese production. There is still not enough information about the chemical composition and quality of goat milk, and its connection with milk renneting properties. The objective of this study was to analyse the impact of milk composition and quality on goat milk renneting properties. Fat, protein, lactose, urea content, somatic cell count and freezing point were measured by infrared spectroscopy. The curd firmness was analysed by Texture Analyser TA.HD.plus (Stable Micro Systems, UK). In total, 34 samples, including bulk milk samples (n = 3) were analysed. The analysed breeds included the Latvian Native (n = 9), Saanen (n = 14) and milking crosses (closer to Anglo Nubian) (n = 8). The samples were arranged according to the lactation, somatic cell count and breeds. Obtained fat content varied from 1.72 to 4.67%, and the protein content – from 2.93 to 4.57% in individual goat milk samples. The highest fat to protein ratio was established in the Saanen breed goat milk (0.96), but the lowest – in milking crosses’ milk (0.80). The highest somatic cell count was determined in the second lactation goat milk (1421 thous mL-1 ) and in milking crosses’ goat milk (1027 thous mL-1 ). The somatic cell count influences curd firmness in cheese, and the highest fat to protein ratio was established in the first group samples with lower somatic cell count.
