description: This study aimed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the greenhouse gases (GHG) emission between 1991 and 2021 of both the entire Italian dairy cattle sector (ITA_POP) and the registered Holstein Friesian population only (HF). An attributional cradle-to-farm gate Life Cycle Assessment was performed, including emissions (methane–CH4, nitrous oxide–N2O, carbon dioxide–CO2) due to animal and manure management, feed production, and farm materials. The functional units were 1 year and 1 kg of fat- and protein-corrected milk. We applied 100-year global warming potential (GWP) metric. For 2011–2021 period, we also applied GWP star (GWP*). Data originated from Italian GHG accounting and official milk recording systems. From 1991 to 2021, annual GHG emission of ITA_POP decreased from 20.4 ± 2.7 to 15.5 ± 2.1 Mt CO2e and emission intensity (EI) from 1.90 ± 0.25 to 1.17 ± 0.16 kg CO2e/kg corrected milk. The share of officially registered HF cows in ITA_POP increased from 36 to 70%. The annual emission of HF increased by 32% to 12.2 ± 1.8 Mt CO2e, but its EI decreased by 34% to 1.09 ± 0.16 kg CO2e/kg corrected milk. The accumulation in GHGs in 2011–2021 period due to ITA_POP (100-year GWP) continuously increased. When considering the short lifetime of CH4 (GWP*), the rate of increase in the same years was quite lower, with a flat pattern in the last 5 years. The decrease in CH4 emission is compensating the accumulation of N2O and CO2 from fossil fuels, highlighting the need of considering GHGs lifetime in the estimation of dairy cow sector emissions. Italian dairy cow sector has succeeded in reducing GHG emission per unit of milk.Cumulative GHG continuously increased in 2011–2021 period if calculated with conventional 100-y GWP, but not with GWP*.Further improvements achievable focussing on individual GHGs (CH4, N2O, CO2) and their lifetime in the atmosphere.

description: In this paper we analyzed the probabilities of accident development in case of liquefied hydrocarbon gas emission taking into account the logistic scheme of accident development. It was found that the probability of ignition of the release is determined by the probability of combustible substance coincidence with the ignition source. It should be borne in mind that the probability of ignition source manifestation depends on the area of the affected object (cloud of gas-air mixture or gas liquid).

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the genomic diversity of the Nero d’Aspromonte (NA) pig population. NA is a subpopulation derived from the Apulo Calabrese (AC) breed that has been reared in total isolation within the Polsi area of Aspromonte, Calabria, Italy. NA is traditionally recognised and used by local farmers for the production of typical products. The growing interest in this subpopulation has led local farmers to create a cooperative to promote NA pig meat and help preserve the cultural heritage associated with this local population. A total of 40 NA pigs were included in our study and genotyped with the Illumina GGP Porcine array. Admixture, TreeMix, and run of homozygosity (ROH) analyses were performed to investigate genetic diversity within the NA subpopulation and its relationship with the AC breed and other Italian pig breeds. The NA population clearly originated from the AC breed. The lower inbreeding and average ROH size in NA compared to AC may indicate that NA differentiated from the original AC genetic pool with the contribution of admixture from other genetic backgrounds in addition to the effects of genetic isolation and genetic drift. The analysis of the genetic diversity of the NA subpopulation showcases the utility of genomic analyses to reconstruct the genetic history of local populations. A specific conservation program for this genetic resource may further support the sustainable development of local pig production systems based on traditional farming practices as a part of agricultural cultural heritage. We genetically characterised the Nero d’Aspromonte pig population using genomic data.Genomic characteristics of this population were compared with nine other Italian pig breeds.The results confirmed that Nero d’Aspromonte population originated from the Apulo Calabrese breed.An admixed genetic structure can be detected between Nero d’Aspromonte and Apulo Calabrese pigs.

description: "The idea of the proposed work is that the volume of an emergency discharge should be calculated based on the characteristics of the discharge event itself." There are some tools for this that are not used by developers of analysis methods. This refers to an automatic method of monitoring emissions using sensors up to an explosive gas concentration (EGC), automatic control of flow rates, pressure, visual control methods, by the sound of gas emissions, by the smell of a hazardous substance, etc. These methods, which can be calculated, are especially effective for partial depressurization of the block.

description: It is known that the final result of risk analysis is the determination of the consequences of explosions and fires at a hazardous facility. One of the most important indicators used in performing a risk analysis is the probability of occurrence of an ignition source. The presented work proposes a method for taking into account the probability of mixture ignition. It is indicated that such an assessment is more plausible and consistent with observations and does not contradict the need for personnel participation in localizing an emergency release.

description: Already, we are increasingly encountering the consequences of dangerous climate impacts on buildings and structures. These effects are particularly evident in the thawing of permafrost, geological hazards, floods, mudflows, as well as forest and landscape fires. Of course, climate change also influences seismic and tsunami risks. To plan protective measures for populations in hazardous zones in a timely manner, it is necessary to be able to predict the parameters of these dangers, assess the vulnerability of buildings and structures, and evaluate the risks to the population. By understanding the hazards, vulnerabilities, and risks, appropriate measures to reduce risks can be developed.

description: The Chechen Republic has one of the highest levels of biological diversity, due to the unique natural conditions and the presence of various high-altitude zones, ranging from semi-deserts to glaciers. This diversity includes animals from Europe, Asia, Siberia, and even Africa, making it a fascinating place to explore. However, the biological diversity in the region is still poorly understood. The vertebrate fauna in the Chechen Republic includes 44 fish species and subspecies, nine amphibian species, at least 31 reptile species, more than 320 bird species that nest, and up to 88 mammal species. Unfortunately, this rich ecosystem is threatened by the devastating effects of war, which have led to uncontrolled and intensive exploitation of natural resources. As a result, preserving the biodiversity of the area is a significant challenge. Many areas have changed, losing their original appearance. The environmental conditions for many animal species have deteriorated, leading to fewer of them. Some species, such as bison, moose, tarpans, kulans, and beavers have completely disappeared, while others, like the common grouse and geese, are becoming rare. Bezoar goats, chamois, martens, otters, minks, bustards, strepets, cranes, grey partridges and ulars have become few. Taking into account the current ecological situation in the republic and to preserve the unique fauna and flora, it is essential to take measures to conserve and increase the biodiversity of the landscapes.

description: The aim of this study was to assess the most important risk factors that influence productive life (PL) and to estimate genetic parameters for PL using a Weibull proportional hazards model in two Spanish dairy goat breeds belonging to different production systems. The dataset consisted of 70,695 and 49,176 lactation records of Florida and Payoya females, respectively, collected over the last two decades. A total of 6,227 (24.21%) Florida and 3,452 (20.42%) Payoya females had censored information. The pedigree included a total of 56,901 animals for Florida and 59,957 for Payoya. The effects included in the model for both breeds were the age at first kidding and the herd-year-season of birth of the doe as time-independent effects; and the age at kidding, the herd-year-season of kidding, the within-herd class of milk production deviation and the combination between the lactation number and the duration of lactation as time-dependent effects. Estimation of genetic parameters was made using a Weibull proportional hazards model using Survival Kit V6.0 software. The results from the Weibull animal models gave estimates of additive genetic variances of 0.99 ± 0.0003 and 0.156 ± 0.021, which corresponds to a heritability of 0.43 ± 0.025 and 0.11 ± 0.021 for Florida and Payoya, respectively. The magnitude of heritability obtained for PL suggests that a substantial response to selection may be expected for longevity, especially in the Florida breed. These results may contribute to the development of a routine genetic evaluation to improve PL in Spanish dairy goat breeds. A Weibull proportional hazards model has been used to analyse productive life in Spanish goat breeds raised under different production systems.Productive life is influenced by many factors, with milk production the most important.According to the heritability estimated, a significant genetic response could be obtained by direct selection for productive life, especially in the Florida breed.

Morphological identification
Jaschhof & Jaschhof (2013). A specimen of Porricondyla examined here differs from P. clancula in both the CO1 sequence (BIN BOLD:AEO7197) and male terminalia structures, notably the gonostylus, which is slightly more convex outside and pointed apically, and the gonocoxal processes, which are only slightly bent. My reexamination of extra-German specimens revealed this morphotype, labeled here Porricondyla sp. MJDE1, to be present in Sweden also (unpublished data). Search on BOLD’s BIN Database retrieved no further result for BOLD:AEO7197. See further remarks under P. rufescens.

description: The present work focused on examining the function of rumen-protected L-arginine (RP-Arg) or N-carbamylglutamate (NCG) in jejunal oxidative resistance, integrity and immune function in the ovine foetal model of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Thirty-two twin-bearing Hu ewes at d 35 of gestation were randomised as 4 treatment groups (n = 8 each): Control (CON), received 100% of the recommended National Research Council (NRC) for pregnancy; Restricted (RES), received 50% of the recommended NRC for pregnancy; RES + ARG, RES ewes added with 20 g/d of RP-Arg; or RES + NCG treatment, RES ewes added with 5 g/d of NCG. Foetal jejunal samples were collected on d 110 of pregnancy and were assayed for biomarkers of oxidative damage, integrity and immune function. The villus height was elevated (p < .05) within the jejunum of the foetuses of RES ewes subjected to dietary NCG or Arg supplementation relative to the RES group. RES + NCG or RES + ARG feeding decreased (p < .05) foetal jejunal tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and Interleukin (IL)-6 levels and elevated (p < .05) foetal jejunal superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity (p < .05) in relative to RES group. The Arg/NCG supplementation downregulated (p < .05) expression of gene and proteins associated with inflammatory response (TNF-α), upregulated (p < .05) genes and proteins associated with antioxidation (catalase and SOD2) and integrity (claudin-1) relative to those within foetal jejunum of RES group. In conclusion, Arg and NCG supplementation of RES ewes alleviates foetal jejunal oxidative stress, improves integrity, and promotes foetal intestinal development in the ovine foetus with IUGR. NCG or Arg can improve the foetal jejunal barrier function in underfed ewesNCG or Arg can alleviate foetal jejunal oxidative stress in underfed ewesNCG or Arg can activate the foetal jejunal NO-dependent pathway NCG or Arg can improve the foetal jejunal barrier function in underfed ewes NCG or Arg can alleviate foetal jejunal oxidative stress in underfed ewes NCG or Arg can activate the foetal jejunal NO-dependent pathway

description: Soy contributes to the environmental impact of Italian pork production. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a reduced soybean meal (SBM) and crude protein (CP) finishing diet on growth performance, health, behaviour and gut health of Italian heavy pigs. 1920 pigs (35.6 kg body weight; (BW)) balanced by sex and BW were assigned to the control diet (CO), or the treated diet (TRT) formulated by reducing SBM by 31%, 67% and 69% (replaced by pea and sunflower meal) in 3 feeding phases, respectively, and 1.2% CP in the third phase. 251 pigs were individually weighed at d11, d94 and d181. Feed intake (FI), behavioural indices and air gases at pen-level were monitored monthly. Faecal samples (20/pigs/group) for microbiota, ammonia and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and hair for stress biomarkers were collected. Diet did not affect final BW, faecal ammonia, cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone. From d11–d94, the CO group had higher gain to feed (G:F) (p = .007), favourable faecal VFAs profile and a lower environmental ammonia (p < .0001). From d10–d181, the TRT diet increased the ADG (p = .04) and G:F (p = .01), reduced FI (p < .0001) and the lesions score index at d102 (p = .03) and promoted Methanobrevibacter (d94; padj. = 0.013) and Clostridium sensu stricto (d181; padj. = 0.001). Overall, the TRT diet combined with the stress of the transport and acclimatisation to the farm may limit the growth of pigs in the initial period, but it can increase their growth in the long term. Concluding, replacing 56% of SBM with sustainable alternatives seems promising for heavy pig. Reducing dietary SBM and CP favoured the ADG and G:F of Italian heavy pigs under no stress condition.Reducing dietary SBM and CP did not stress the pigs and promoted positive behaviour and reduced tail lesion index.Reducing dietary SBM and CP slightly modulated specific faecal microbial taxa in growing-finishing pigs.

description: This study aims to investigate Capsa, an ingestible capsule designed to collect the contents of the small intestine as it passes through the gastrointestinal tract. Eight Swiss Large White pigs weighing between 52.5 and 71.3 kg were administered two capsules each and monitored for three days before euthanasia for post-mortem sampling. Samples were collected from six equally divided segments of the small intestine, along with separate sampling of the solid and liquid contents of each segment when feasible. Samples were also obtained from the large intestine and faeces to determine CapSa’s sampling location. Fifteen capsules were retrieved from faecal samples (93.75%), with 87.5% recovered on the first day post-administration. Only one capsule was not recovered. Comparative analysis of the bacterial composition of the capsules and post-mortem samples was conducted using a Permutational Multivariate Analysis of Variance (PERMANOVA) model (Adonis), with sample type as a factor. The results revealed significant differences in bacterial composition between capsules and samples from the large intestine and faeces (p < 0.01). However, no significant difference was observed between capsule content and the liquid and solid parts of the fourth segment of the small intestine (p > 0.05). This study provides evidence that CapSa can effectively sample the intestinal microbiota of the middle part of the small intestine in growing pigs. CapSa effectively collects the contents of the small intestine as it passes through the gastrointestinal tract.Comparative analysis shows significant differences in bacterial composition between CapSa capsules and large intestine/faeces samples.CapSa exhibits the capability to sample the intestinal microbiota of the median part of the small intestine in growing pigs.

description: The current study built and characterized modified sorbents and then tested their ability to absorb the waste products in a lab setting. This work investigated the physicochemical properties and structure of enhanced environmentally friendly sorbents based on alginates, bentonite, and nanoparticles using spectroscopic techniques (SEM, FTIR, X-ray diffraction, and XRD analytical methods). Because the alginate core contains active COOH and OH groups, it may be chemically and physically changed and used in a range of phosphate anion adsorption techniques. We determined the sorption efficiency of a modified Fe3O4NPs@AlgBT. Using biofilters to lessen nutrient loading is an easy substitute for this. Thus, in a lab setting, the capacity of the Fe3O4NPs@AlgBT (biosorbent) to absorb nutrients and heavy metals at various starting concentrations and contact times was examined. It has also undergone testing for uses of nutrients other than growth in wastewater. Fe3O4NPs@AlgBT conducted a nutrient uptake experiment that revealed substantial nutrient uptake in all time intervals (7, 13, 19, and 25 hours) sustained at various pH levels (3–11). From all of these, the maximum amount of nutrients removed was demonstrated by 25-hour biosorption at pH 7,5. A pH of 7,5 and 25 hours later showed the maximum zinc absorption, with an ideal in vitro seaweed content of 0.5 g. The enhanced capacity of Fe3O4NPs@AlgBT to absorb nutrients and consequently stimulate development was demonstrated in an experimental investigation conducted using wastewater.

description: The article is devoted to regional climate changes in the territory of Azerbaijan and the study of water resources of the Karabakh region. Based on the actual multi-year temperature and precipitation data, the dynamics of changes of the specified parameters for the years 2007-2022 compared to the multi-year norm were evaluated by regions and different altitude intervals. An increase of 1.2ºC in the average multi-year temperatures across the republic, and a decrease of precipitation to 26 mm was determined. The water resources of the rivers of the Karabakh region were assessed using the newly developed Complex Water Balance Method (CWBM). This method is based on the principle of estimating water resources, taking into account the complex flow-forming factors. For this purpose, satellite data, GIS and other multifunctional computing technology were used. In 1998, the water resources of the Karabakh region's rivers were 2.13 km³, but in 2022 it was 1.80 km³, or a decrease of 15.2% was observed.

description: This study aimed at evaluating the environmental impact (EI) of herds representative of the Italian heavy pig production system to investigate the EI variation associated with farm management (FM), diet formulation (DF) and animal response (AR) variables. Data originated from 8 breeding farms, which included the sows and preweaning piglets (Site1) and the post-weaned piglets (7.5–30 kg body weight – BW, Site2) and 10 growing–fattening farms, dealing with 30–170 kg BW pigs (Site3). A cradle-to-farm gate Life Cycle Assessment was used, with 1 kg BW gain (BWG) as functional unit. Impact categories were global warming (GWP), acidification (AP) and eutrophication (EP) potentials and land occupation (LO). Whole-production cycle EI (Site123, 0–170 kg BW) was obtained summing up EIs of 0–30 and 30–170 kg BW animals. Impacts were analysed with one- or two-way PERMANOVA to test the effect of FM, DF and AR variables. The Site123-related EI averaged nearly 3.1 kg CO2-eq (GWP), 50 g SO2-eq (AP), 22 g PO4-eq (EP) and 4.9 m2/y (LO) per kg BWG. Site3 contributed nearly 80% of the whole impact. Regarding Site1, GWP resulted mitigated by increasing sow productivity. Site2 EI resulted mitigated by decreasing feed conversion ratio and increasing average daily gain, whereas Site3 EI by increasing feed self-sufficiency and decreasing dietary crude protein and mortality. In perspective, given the relevance of Site3 on the whole-pig system EI, a deeper integration between the farm agronomical management and the growing–finishing pigs’ diets formulation would support the environmental sustainability of heavy pig operations. Cradle-to-farm gate environmental impact (EI) of Italian heavy pigs was assessed; Farm and diet management, and animal response were evaluated for mitigation aim; Integration between crop management and diet formulation should be explored for pig EI mitigation;

description: Reproductive medicine and reproductive technologies play a significant role in achieving sustainable development by improving public health, promoting gender equality, and reducing social inequalities. These fields align with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including good health and well-being (SDG 3), gender equality (SDG 5), and reducing inequalities (SDG 10). Modern reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), genetic screening, and family planning methods, contribute to addressing infertility, improving maternal health, and providing access to reproductive rights. However, disparities in access to these technologies, particularly in developing countries, highlight the need for policies that enhance availability and affordability. Ethical concerns, especially around genetic interventions and surrogacy, must also be carefully addressed. Innovations in reproductive medicine can further contribute to population stabilization, resource management, and environmental sustainability, supporting a balanced approach to human development in the face of global climate change. The integration of reproductive technologies into sustainable development policies ensures equitable access to healthcare while considering the broader impacts on society, the economy, and the environment.
