description: Fish are exposed to a complex mixture of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC), some of which display antiestrogenic activity leading to suppression of estrogen receptor (ER)- mediated reproductive processes. Although the main mode of action (MoA) of these antiestrogens is to directly interfere with natural ligand binding of the ER, several other MoA have been proposed. The aim of the present study was to characterize single and combined antiestrogenic effects of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-agonist β-naphthoflavone (BNF) and ER-antagonist 4-hydroxytamoxifen (OHT) on vitellogenin (Vtg) protein using primary rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) hepatocytes. Supporting transcriptional analysis of ER-responsive genes (estrogen receptor-α (er-α), vitellogenin-1 (vtg-1), eggshell zona radiata protein (zrp)) and AhR-mediated genes (aryl hydrocarbon receptor-2β, cytochrome p450-1a (cyp1a)) was performed by qPCR to characterize the antiestrogenic influence on ER- and AhR-mediated responses. Data demonstrated that both BNF and OHT significantly reduced 17β-estradiol (E2)-induced Vtg protein expression in a concentration responsive manner, whereas exposure to a mixture of these produced an additive antiestrogenic effect. The results observed at the protein level were further supported by transcriptional analysis of ER-responsive genes (er-α, vtg-1, zrp), where only E2-induced vtg-1 gene expression was significantly decreased by OHT and the mixture of OHT and BNF. E2-induced er-α and zrp gene expression was not markedly altered. The significant reduction of E2-induced vtg-1 gene expression by OHT suggested that the antiestrogenic effect of this compound may be associated with ER signaling pathway. Specific genes involved in putative AhR-ER cross-talk were also investigated, however none were directly associated with the compound anti-estrogenic MoA. Although the MoA of the single compounds and mixture were not completely characterized, the present study enhanced our knowledge of the combined toxicity mediated by antiestrogens acting through different MoA.
Too Many Lame Cows

description: Concern about lameness in dairy cattle has mostly shifted to the herd level. What is the nature and magnitude of lameness issues for a particular herd? Arriving at useful knowledge of herd-level lameness issues requires at least within-herd consistency in recording of data. Benchmarks or goals may readily be set from past performance or from groups of herds using similar recording schemes. Targets for the incidence of specific lesions or diseases have been developed for herds in our practice and could be applied to herds in similar housing and feeding systems. The strategies for detection of lame cows are important. Locomotion scoring in some form is evolving into a standard that is used both to find cows for treatment and to qualify during welfare audits. There are predictable errors in scoring. Regardless of strategy, a shorter interval between detection and action results in a lower prevalence of lame cows. Devote effort to finding and fixing cows that can be helped.

subject: 360 - Soziale Probleme, Sozialdienste, Versicherungen

description: Destitution can be understood as a severe form of systemic social deprivation in which people are unable to sustain themselves and their families through their own work activities because they encounter various administrative and legal obstacles. Destitute people are therefore excluded from most state-run social and medical services and their access to public resources and institutions is very limited. This new form of extreme poverty and social exclusion has posed several novel challenges to the Swiss welfare state, in which traditional, residence-based institutions are only moderately able to handle the issues. In the first chapter, we depict the theoretical development of destitution from the early studies on absolute poverty to the modern, multifaceted thinking on relative poverty and social exclusion. In this chapter we primarily focus on the vulnerable situation of undocumented migrants and homeless people to exemplify the most precarious forms of destitution in Western societies. In the second chapter, we scrutinise the precarious living circumstances of destitute European migrants both in their home countries and Switzerland. We explore the role of penalising social policies and the increasing social exclusion of the Roma and/or poor people in the CEE region. After that, we analyse their living conditions in Switzerland from the viewpoint of the availability and accessibility of social institutions. The chapter concludes that destitute CEE migrants encounter substantial difficulties in living in Switzerland, are invisible to the institutions of the Swiss welfare state, and their fundamental human rights are often questioned in the areas of housing, healthcare, and the labour market.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit gibt einen Überblick über die Möglichkeit zur Förderung der individuellen Veränderungsbereitschaft in einem beginnenden Workplace Change bei Mitarbeitenden des Schweizerischen Tropen- und Public-Health Instituts. Es wird untersucht, ob sich die in einem quantitativen Fragebogen zur Messung der individuellen Veränderungsbereitschaft erzielten Werte in den Dimensionen Selbstwirksamkeit, Angemessenheit der Veränderung, Unterstützung des Managements, persönlicher Nutzen und Diskrepanz verändern. Um dies zu beantworten, wurde ein Change Readiness Coaching auf Basis einer Literaturrecherche entwickelt und getestet. Die individuelle Veränderungsbereitschaft wurde sowohl vor als auch zehn Tage nach diesem Change Readiness Coaching gemessen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich die individuelle Veränderungsbereitschaft durch das Change Readiness Coaching erhöht. Jedoch ist die Erhöhung nicht signifikant. Eine signifikante Veränderung der Ausgangswerte zu den Werten nach dem Coaching ergab sich lediglich in der Dimension Unterstützung des Managements. Dies bestätigt die Wirkung des Change Readiness Coachings teilweise.

Monitoring of Rumen pH in Cattle Pulled for Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex with Normal or Elevated Rectal Temperatures in a Commercial Feedlot
Creators: name: Thomson, D. U.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2007

description: Cattle pulled to the hospital system for BRDC treatment did not have different rumen pH values regardless of their rectal temperature. Acidosis and BRDC both cause anorexia due to an undefined period of feed refusal or decreased feed intake in cattle. Possibly by measuring rumen pH after anorexia was detectable, cattle may have been off feed for a period of time long enough for rumen pH to normalize due to decreased substrate available for rumen fermentation. More research in this area is warranted.

Vergärungs- und Kompostieranlagen produzieren organischen Recyclingdünger, der in der Landwirtschaft und im Gartenbau eingesetzt werden kann. Bei der Vergärung kann zusätzlich erneuerbare Energie in Form von Gas oder Strom hergestellt werden. Als grösster Input für die Verwertungsanlagen sind national die kommunalen Sammeldienste verantwortlich. Die bi-ogenen Abfälle aus privaten Haushalten machen dabei einen Grossteil aus. Der Fremdstoff-anteil in den Produkten aus Vergärungs- und Kompostierprozessen stellt ein Problem für An-lagenbetreiber und Natur dar. Ein Teil der Abfallentsorgerinnen und Abfallentsorger versteht nicht, dass mit der Fremdstoffentfernung im Grüngut grosse manuelle und technischen Her-ausforderungen einher gehen. Sie entsorgen anstelle von biogenem Material Fremdstoffe wie Kunststoffe etc. im grünen Kübel. Trotz der Entwicklung der Digitalisierung und Automatisie-rung werden im Alltag der Anlagenbetreiber nach wie vor Fremdstoffe in biogenen Abfällen von Hand aussortiert. Auf diese Weise kann ein Weiterleiten von Fremdstoffanteilen in die nachfolgenden Prozesse nicht absolut ausgeschlossen werden. Kompostier- sowie Vergä-rungsanlagen sind daher auf einen möglichst sauberen Input angewiesen.

description: Work in a (feminist) hackerspace relies on the circulation of knowledge and availability of hardware. In contemporary maker scene, the majority of these resources is created in male-dominated circles and handed over to female identified makers to act upon and appropriate. Attempts to reconcile the disbalance in gender participation with pink-colored microcontrollers only reinforced existing gender and cultural stereotypes. Instead of adding to the growing voice of critique of exclusionist and inclusionist practices, we take a critical stand towards feminist hacking practice itself: we look at what is produced by feminist hackerspaces. Using standpoint theory to analyze the experience of working with one particular self-organized group of feminist artists and developers, this paper looks at practice in feminist hackerspaces as a way to create and share essential infrastructure with female or transgender identified makers. We analyze patterns of mutual self-help through sharing and learning, and their role in creating feminist infrastructure.

description: Comparing observational abundance features with nucleosynthesis predictions of stellar evolution or explosion simulations can scrutinize two aspects: (a) the conditions in the astrophysical production site and (b) the quality of the nuclear physics input utilized. We test the abundance features of r-process nucleosynthesis calculations for the dynamical ejecta of neutron star merger simulations based on three different nuclear mass models: The Finite Range Droplet Model (FRDM), the (quenched version of the) Extended Thomas Fermi Model with Strutinsky Integral (ETFSI-Q), and the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) mass model. We make use of corresponding fission barrier heights and compare the impact of four different fission fragment distribution models on the final r-process abundance distribution. In particular, we explore the abundance distribution in the second r-process peak and the rare-earth sub-peak as a function of mass models and fission fragment distributions, as well as the origin of a shift in the third r-process peak position. The latter has been noticed in a number of merger nucleosynthesis predictions. We show that the shift occurs during the r-process freeze-out when neutron captures and β-decays compete and an (n,γ)-(γ,n) equilibrium is not maintained anymore. During this phase neutrons originate mainly from fission of material above A = 240. We also investigate the role of β-decay half-lives from recent theoretical advances, which lead either to a smaller amount of fissioning nuclei during freeze-out or a faster (and thus earlier) release of fission neutrons, which can (partially) prevent this shift and has an impact on the second and rare-earth peak as well.

description: Important changes have occurred in the components of U.S. cotton production since World War II. During the 1947-62 period, there was a sharp downward trend in harvested acreage. Production trended downward only slightly because of the sharp upward trend in yield per harvested acre. The decline in harvested acreage during the postwar period reflected, among other factors, Government programs designed to control or reduce cotton acreage. The primary program was the cotton acreage allotment program, which was in effect for 1950 and each year after 1954. The increase in average yield per harvested acre reflected many factors, including the increased use of fertilizer, chemicals, insecticides, irrigation, shifts in cotton acreage to higher yielding areas, and use of land better suited to cotton production.

description: This dissertation studies the applicability of convex optimization to the formal verification and synthesis of systems that exhibit randomness or stochastic uncertainties. These systems can be represented by a general family of uncertain, partially observable, and parametric Markov decision processes (MDPs). These models have found applications in artificial intelligence, planning, autonomy, and control theory and can accurately characterize dynamic, uncertain environments. The synthesis of policies for this family of models has long been regarded theoretically and empirically intractable. The goal of this dissertation is to develop theoretically sound and computationally efficient synthesis algorithms that provably satisfy formal high-level task specifications in temporal logic. The first part is on developing convex-optimization-based techniques to parameter synthesis in parametric Markov decision processes where the values of the transitions are functions over real-valued parameters. The second part builds on the formulations of the first part and utilizes sampling-based methods for verification and optimization in uncertain MDPs that allow the probabilistic transition function to belong to a so-called uncertainty set. The third part develops inverse reinforcement learning algorithms in partially observable MDPs to several limitations of existing techniques that do not take the information asymmetry between the expert and the agent into account. Finally, the fourth part synthesizes policies for uncertain partially observable MDPs that allow both of the probabilistic transition and observation functions to be uncertain. In each part, a unifying theme is, the resulting algorithms approximate the underlying optimization problem as a convex optimization problem. Additionally, by combining techniques from convex optimization and formal methods, the algorithms bring strong performance guarantees with respect to task specifications. The computational efficiency and applicability of the resulting algorithms are demonstrated in numerous domains such as aircraft collision avoidance, spacecraft and unmanned aerial vehicle motion planning, and joint active perception and planning in urban environments.

description: Background: A high level of house dust mite (HDM) allergens in a living environment is a risk factor for both sensitization to these allergens and asthmatic attacks. We previously showed that plasma cluster ions (PCIs) impaired the IgE-binding capacity of atomized crude allergens prepared from Japanese cedar pollen and fungus under experimental conditions. Objective: We evaluated the capacity of PCIs to impair the IgE-binding capacity of airborne HDM allergens under a simulated indoor environmental condition. Methods: For the determination of the effects of PCIs on HDM allergens under an experimental condition, HDM extract was atomized as aqueous mist into a cylindrical experimental apparatus filled with PCIs. For the evaluation of the effects of PCIs under a simulated natural indoor environmental condition, dried HDM allergens were floated as airborne particles in an acryl cubic apparatus in the presence of PCIs. The IgE-binding capacities of the PCI- and sham-treated HDM allergens were analyzed by an ELISA. Results: The IgE-binding capacity of the HDM allergens was significantly impaired after PCI treatment compared to that after sham treatment under both experimental and simulated environmental conditions. The ELISA results demonstrated that the IgE-binding capacities of HDM allergens after PCI treatment showed 68 and 74% reductions compared to those after sham treatment under the experimental and simulated environmental conditions, respectively. Conclusions: PCIs have the capacity to impair the IgE-binding capacity of airborne HDM allergens in a simulated environmental condition.

description: A commercial backgrounding feedlot unknowingly fed lead-contaminated feed as evidenced by finding battery casing fragments and particles of lead plating in the feed bunk of a pen of animals with nervous disease. Investigation into the source of the contamination revealed that a large implement battery had been ground through the feed mixer. Over the next week, more than half of the animals within the pen where the exposure was centered showed evidence of nervous disease progressing to death or were humanely euthanized based on animal welfare considerations. The remainder of the pen showed little or no clinical evidence of exposure. Despite documentation that animals exhibiting no clinical evidence of lead toxicity may still have elevated blood and tissue lead levels, there are insufficient guidelines for ensuring that animals with potential lead exposure will be safe for human consumption. No specific regulations exist regarding the amount of lead permissible in Canadian beef. A disease investigation was undertaken to determine the extent of lead exposure in the feedlot and to formulate a plan for the disposition of exposed and unexposed animals.

description: A commercial feedlot unknowingly fed lead contaminated feed to a portion of cattle in the feedyard. Due to the lack of data and regulations concerning how to manage the exposed animals, a proactive field study was developed to collect information that would help mitigate food safety and economic losses in this and other similar situations. After conducting an investigation into the scale of lead exposure in the feedlot, cattle found to have elevated blood lead concentrations were enrolled into the study. The objectives of this study were to collect data on blood and tissue lead concentrations over a number of months post-exposure. This information would then be used to describe lead concentrations and correlations in blood and tissues over time. Liver biopsies and diaphragm were also evaluated, and production losses were examined.

description: Presenting core areas of knowledge, which are to be covered the one way or another while pre-serving complex digital objects and digital art, the presentation is structured into three five parts: Part I: Media Art Examples: Short and selective overview Part II: Media Art Preservation: Programs and Strategies (1990s – 2015) Part III: Policies – Archival Appraisal – Sustainability & Accessibility Part IV: Case Studies Part V: Instead of a summary: getting prepared for the future. For obtaining a common terminological but also work-based basis for the discussion, the first part of the workshop begins with a historical overview of well-known media artworks (Part I) and groundbreaking preservation projects and conservation approaches (Part II). Part I is de-signed as kind of a dialog, combining the different perspectives from an art historical point of view and information science to approach media art. This section is followed by basic considera-tions on the conception and organization of digital archives (Part III). Here we try to illustrate specific requirements based on examples of our own professional practice. If time allows, the afternoon session concludes with a brief outlook on current funding policies (Switzerland, Ger-many and the EU), outlining core aims and requests such as open access, sustainability, interna-tional networking (all observed from the perspective of Data Management). Furthermore, expe-riences of EU evaluation and peer reviewing processes from an insider's perspective might be given – possibly in rather informal talk situations. This last section is designed in a rather generalized way to allow a smooth transition to a Q&A. Leaving some of time for questions and suggestions, we would be interested to learn something about the Russian side / approached in the sketched fields. The afternoon session will deepen the terms and concepts outlined in the morning session based on concrete case studies. It covers the entire preservation, maintenance and data management cycle. Since the foundation of permanent conservation operations depends on the quality of the identification and documentation of the significant properties of an artwork, special attention is given to this part. The spectrum of the presented works reaches from formerly videographic art-works through installation and net-based works until types of artworks that are no longer re-garded as closed in the classical archival sense. Again, there will be room for a Q&A at the end of the session.
The Economics of Diagnostic Testing
Creators: name: Larson, Robert L.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference

description: Biosecurity is the attempt to keep infectious agents away from a herd or feedlot. Diagnostic screening tests of all incoming (apparently healthy) cattle can be used to identify and remove animals that carry contagious pathogens, with the desired result of reducing disease risk. To determine if such a biosecurity strategy is economically rewarding, veterinarians must know the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic test, prevalence of carrier animals, cost of testing and cost of the disease should it enter the population. In some situations additional tests, either in series or in parallel, may increase the economic return for a testing strategy. In other situations, cost of screening for biosecurity purposes may be greater than the cost of a rare disease, but the potential disruption in cash flow from that rare occurrence may cause some producers to institute testing to avoid that rare possibility.

description: Backgrounds and Purpose: This study was aimed at investigating the outcomes and predictors for the poor functional outcome after endovascular treatment (EVT) in a large, mostly Asian population. Methods: Between January 2014 and June 2016, acute stroke patients with anterior circulation occlusion and EVT were retrospectively enrolled from 21 stroke centers in China. The main outcomes were modified Rankin Scale (0-2 as functional independence, 3-6 as poor) at 90 days, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) at 72 h, and death at 90 days. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors for poor functional outcome at 90 days. Results: Of the 698 patients, 304 (43.6%) patients had functional independence at 90 days. The sICH rate was 15.5% (108/698) and mortality rate at 90 days was 25.4% (177/698). Age (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.02-1.07), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score at admission (11-20 vs. ≤10, OR 2.38, 95% CI 1.23-4.59; ≥21 vs. ≤10, OR 3.66, 95% CI 1.72-7.80), baseline glucose level (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.01-1.18), onset to groin puncture >6 h (OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.06-3.31), sICH (OR 15.49, 95% CI 5.16-46.43), and pneumonia (OR 3.15, 95% CI 1.86-5.32) were independent predictors of poor functional outcomes, while good recanalization (OR 0.26, 95% CI 0.13-0.54), preoperative Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score 8-10 (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.28-0.83), and good collateral flow (OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.32-0.79) were protective factors. Conclusions: This study provides evidence in real world to support the performance of EVT in acute anterior circulation stroke patients in Chinese population. Patients with small infarct core, successful recanalization, good collateral status, and short treatment delay without sICH or pneumonia may benefit from EVT.

description: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the leading cause of feedlot morbidity and mortality in North America, and decisions about BRD therapy are critically important to feedlot veterinarians and their clients. A spreadsheet tool was utilized to evaluate variables having the greatest economic impact on a decision to move from one BRD treatment regimen to another. Differences in case fatality rate and re-treatment proportion between two potential BRD treatment regimes are important variables when selecting BRD treatment protocols based on return to ownership and management. Other variables unrelated to treatment efficacy that are important for selection of a BRD treatment regimen are sale price and cost of gain. Purchase price of the cattle, morbidity proportion, labor costs not associated with BRD treatment, trucking costs, processing costs, interest rate and yardage cost were not found important to selecting an appropriate BRD treatment regimen.

description: Ein Ingenieurbetrieb möchte „agiler“ werden. Wie kommt es zu diesem Bedarf bei einem gut am Markt positioniertem mittelständischen Elektroplaner? Die digitale Transformation befindet sich in der Schweizer Planungs- und Bauindustrie zwar noch am Beginn, mit der Einführung des „Building Information Modelling“ (BIM) wird jedoch eine fundamentale Veränderung der Geschäftsprozesse notwendig. Der digitale Wandel im Bauwesen betrifft demnach das Zusammenwirken von Mensch, Technik und Organisationsprozessen sowie –kultur, so dass sich in diesem Kontext miteinander interagierende Handlungsfelder entwickeln.

description: To observe a total eclipse, one would need to be in the umbra, the darkest part of the shadow cast by an occluding body, the moon, over the main source of light, the sun. Green and eerie lavender shadows would settle as the sky darkens in an awed hush, the obscured sun would black out, like glowing coal. The history of predicting the celestial event was also the history of linear time, storm prediction, the global market. The film circuits inside a cinema-globe situated at the centre of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Thai and Chinese ground-stations, climate research centres, conference halls and landscapes under transformation. Through the documentary’s disorientating gaze, the film unsettles the certainty of knowing by tracing threads of strategic collaborations within a growing network of bodies gathering data on the changing Earth.
Effects of Rearing Practices that Restrict Antimicrobial Exposure in Feedlot Cattle on Antimicrobial Resistance in Enteric Bacteria

description: The primary objective of this research was to evaluate differences in antimicrobial resistance among enteric bacteria recovered from feedlot cattle being raised without exposure to antimicrobial drugs (AMDs) and those reared using conventional practices. Forty-seven pens of feedlot cattle (6,347 total animals) produced with restricted antimicrobial drug exposure were purposefully selected for enrollment as were 48 pens of cattle (5,273 total animals) contemporaneously being fed for production of conventional beef products. Fecal samples were collected from the floors of pens throughout the feeding period and cultured to recover non-type-specific Escherichia coli (NTSEC) and Salmonella enterica. Isolates were evaluated for susceptibility to a panel of AMDs. Resistance among NTSEC isolates was most common to tetracycline, streptomycin and sulfamethoxazole, and slightly higher rates of resistance among NTSEC isolates were recovered from conventionally reared cattle. Recorded therapeuticAMD exposures had no detectable impact on the prevalence of resistance among NTSEC. While there were detectable temporal trends among NTSEC for resistance to tetracycline, naladixic acid, chloramphenicol and cephalothin, the direction of trends differed among drugs and were not associated with different rearing practices. Salmonella enterica was recovered rarely (0.73%), but at similar rates in cattle in both management groups. These findings suggest that conventional feedlot production methods (including parenteral and in-feed use of AMDs) do not predictably or uniformly increase the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among fecal NTSEC when compared to rearing methods used to produce branded "natural" beef products (i.e., beef products with a label certification that source cattle were not exposed to antimicrobial drugs).

description: Background and purpose: The galactose analog 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-galactose (FDGal) is used for quantification of regional hepatic metabolic capacity by functional positron emission tomography computerized tomography (PET/CT). In the present study, FDGal PET/CT was used for functional treatment planning (FTP) of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) of liver metastases with the aim of minimizing radiation dose to the best functioning liver tissue. Material and methods: Fourteen patients referred for SBRT had FDGal PET/CT performed before and one month after the treatment. The planning CT and the FDGal PET/CT images were deformable co-registered. Results: A reduction in the mean dose of approximately 2 Gy to the best functioning sub-volumes was obtained. One patient developed grade 2 acute morbidity and no patients experienced grade 3 or higher acute morbidities. The regional hepatic metabolic function post-treatment was linearly correlated to the regional radiation dose and for each 10-Gy increase in dose (γ10Gy), the metabolic function was reduced by 12%. A 50% reduction was seen at 22.9 Gy in 3 fractions (CI 95%: 16.7–30.4 Gy). Conclusion: The clinical study demonstrates the feasibility for FTP in patients with liver metastases and it was possible to minimize the radiation dose to the best functioning liver tissue.
