title: Analysis of Variables Affecting Carcass Weight of White Turkeys by Regression Analysis Based on Factor Analysis Scores and Ridge Regression

description: ABSTRACT In this study, the influence of carcass parts weights (thigh, breast, wing, back weight, gizzard, heart, and feet) on whole carcass weight of white turkeys (Big-6) was analyzed by regression analysis based on ridge regression and factor analysis scores. For this purpose, a total of 30 turkey carcasses of 15 males and 15 females with 17 weeks of age, were used. To determine the carcass weight (CW), thigh weight (TW), breast weight (BRW), wing weight (WW), back weight (BW), gizzard weight (GW), heart weight (HW), and feet weight (FW) were used. In the ridge regression model, since the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) values of the variables were less than 10, the multicollinearity problem was eliminated. Furthermore, R2=0.988 was obtained in the ridge regression model. Since the eigenvalues of the two variables predicted by factor analysis scores were greater than 1, the model can be explained by two factors. The variance explained by two factors constitutes 88.80% of the total variance. The regression equation was statistically significant (p&lt;0.01). In the regression equation, two factors obtained by using factor analysis scores were independent variables and standardized carcass weight was considered as dependent variable. In the regression model created by factor analysis scores, the Variance Inflation Factor values were 1 and R2=0.966. Both regression models were found to be suitable for predicting carcass weight of turkeys. However, the ridge regression method, which presented higher R2 value, has been shown to better explain the carcass weight.

title: The Effects of Licorice (Glycyrrhriza glabra) Root on Performance, Some Serum Parameters and Antioxidant Capacity of Laying Hens

description: ABSTRACT The current study was conducted to determine the effects of the licorice root (Glycyrrhriza glabra) in laying hens diets on performance, egg cholesterol, some plasma parameters and antioxidant capacity. One hundred, 40-week old laying hens were divided into four groups, each group consisted of 25 hens and were placed in individual cages. The mean of the initial body weight of laying hens was 1829.18±9.595 g. Commercial laying hen diet was supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% levels of licorice root powder and four different dietary groups were formed. From the experimental findings, it was ascertained that the licorice root supplementation had no significant effect on egg weight and feed conversion ratio (p&gt;0.05), but feed consumption decreased with increasing licorice root (p&lt;0.05).Egg yield was recorded as 88.94%, 89.56%, 86.82% and 85.02% in the groups of 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0, respectively (p&lt;0.05).Plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) and egg yolk cholesterol level decreased with the addition of licorice root, while plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) level was increased with licorice root addition (p&lt;0.05). Licorice root addition had a positive effect on total antioxidant capacity (TAS) of plasma. It was determined that the total antioxidant capacity was increased by increasing amount of licorice root. From the overall findings, it can be concluded that licorice root could be used as a feed additive without any adverse effect on performance. It has been demonstrated that the licorice root enables the production of functional eggs.

title: The Antonio Gramsci’s writings and works of his interpreters in theses and dissertations on educational policies (2000-2010)

description: ABSTRACT In this article, we analyze the Antonio Gramsci’s bibliography and his interpreters mobilized by graduate students who adopted the author's thinking in his works. Thirty-two theses and dissertations were selected in postgraduate programs in education in the period 2000-2010, whose abstracts indicate the presence of Gramsci in the theoretical reference that was used. Documentary and bibliographical research was carried out with the objective of mapping the writings of Gramsci and of interpreters of his thought mentioned in the course of the text and in the references. It was found that the postgraduate students, for the understanding of Gramsci's thought, supported themselves in the work of the author himself and that of his intérpreters. With regard to Gramsci's writings, the authors of the analyzed works cited both the thematic edition and the 1990 edition of the Prison Notebooks. The texts Dialectical conception of history and The intellectuals and the organization of culture, from thematic edition, were the two most cited texts. Among the interpreters, the most mentioned was Carlos Nelson Coutinho. It was concluded that the presence of Gramsci's ideas and concepts in works on educational policies must be accompanied by careful attention to the bibliographic reference of the author and on the author, and that it is important, given the limits of the thematic edition, that the Gramsci's thought be studied based on the edition of the 1990s or in the Italian critical edition.

title: Efficacy of Zinc/Creatine Supplementation on Improving Growth Performance of Local Balady Chicks

description: ABSTRACT An experiment was designed to study the efficacy of Zinc and or creatine monohydrate (CMH) supplementation, either alone or in combination, on improving growth performance of Balady chicks. A total number of 144 Balady chicks were randomly divided into four equal groups. The first treatment was fed the basal diet and served as control, while groups 2, 3, and 4 were given the basal diet and supplemented drinking water with, 0.6 mg/ml (zinc sulphat); 0.45 mg/ml (CMH); 0.6 mg/ml (zinc sulphat) + 0.45 mg/ml (CMH), respectively. The results indicated that the live body weight, weekly body weight gain and feed efficiency were significantly (p≤0.05) improved in all treated groups compared with the control. Also, significant decrease (p≤0.05) has been recorded in water consumption values of treated groups compared to control. Moreover, significant increase was recorded in carcass yield, kidney, spleen, bursa, thymus and intestine density (weight/length) with treated groups as compared to control group. On the other hand, serum total protein, globulin, total lipids, total antioxidant, thyroxine hormone level were significantly higher in treated groups than the control. Furthermore, Red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin level, hematocrit values and antibody titres against Newcastle disease virus, were significantly improved in all treated groups. Therefore, it can be concluded that Zn and or CMH supplementation improved the physiological, productive traits of Balady chicks. The best significant results of performance were recorded for group the supplemented with Zn and CMH in combination compared with those of other treatments.

title: Nutritive value of Coastcross-1 inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the forage yield rate and nutritive value of Coastcross-1 inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense and fertilized with different levels of nitrogen subjected to cut. The experimental design was randomized blocks with three replications, in a factorial scheme. The factors were the inoculation (without inoculation, inoculated just in the implantation and reinoculated in the second year), levels of nitrogen (0, 100 and 200kg/ha/year of N) and periods of the year. Forage yield rate and botanical composition; morphological composition, crude protein content, in situ digestibility of organic matter and the total digestible nutrients of Coastcross-1 were evaluated. Inoculation increased the forage yield rate, Coastcross-1 contribution and production of total digestible nutrients, when the pasture was not fertilized with N. There was reduction in Coastcross-1 crude protein content when fertilized with 200kg/ha/yr of N. The inoculation has a positive effect on Coastcross-1 not submitted to nitrogen fertilization.

title: Performance and Carcass Yield of Broilers Fed Crude Glycerin at Differing Inclusion Levels

description: ABSTRACT This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of crude glycerin at differing inclusion levels on performance and carcass characteristics of broilers and litter moisture. 960 broilers of 21-42 days of age were used in a completely randomized design with six crude glycerin inclusion levels (0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15%), with eight replicates containing 20 broiler chickens per experimental unit. There was a quadratic effect (p&lt;0.05) for weight gain, feed intake and feed:gain ratio from 21 to 42 days of age. Higher levels of crude glycerin in diets increased (40.24%, p&lt;0.05) the litter moisture and reduced (6.04%, p&lt;0.05) the viability of of the birds. There were no effects (p&gt;0.05) on carcass yield, breast, or liver percentages. However, there was an increase (6.17%, p&lt;0.05) in leg yield and a decrease in (p&lt;0,05, 7.05%) the drumstick yield. For the wing yield and abdominal fat, a quadratic effect (p&lt;0.05) was observed. The protein and fat deposition rates, as well as the dry matter content of the carcass, showed a quadratic effect (p&lt;0.05) due to the inclusion levels of crude glycerin. Crude glycerin may be used in broiler diets from 21 to 42 days, at up to 6% without harming the performance of the broilers, the yield and carcass quality, litter moisture, and the viability of broilers. It is recommended that crude glycerin can be fed at 5.63% from 21 to 42 days, while for lower feed conversion it is recommended that the level of 3.72% is used.

title: Stress, retaliation and perception of injustice in organizations: proposal for an integrative theoretical model

description: Abstract This article is intended to advance the reflections on the phenomena stress, retaliation and perception of injustice, and through the analysis of their interrelations, propose an integrating theoretical model. The literature has shown that the perception of injustice can be considered as a variable prior to occupational stress being developed and, in turn, retaliation becomes effective. Thus, the perception of injustice is considered the connection between occupational stress and retaliation. This relationship seems timely because both research relating to occupational stress and retaliation have perception of injustice as a relevant factor, but no available research to date, describes the theoretical articulation of these phenomena. After the demonstration model that integrates the phenomena, a research agenda is presented, which includes methodological and thematic perspectives.

title: Molecular epidemiology of 16S rRNA methyltransferase in Brazil: RmtG in Klebsiella aerogenes ST93 (CC4)

description: Abstract Aminoglycosides are a class of antibiotics that play a key role in antimicrobial treatment of Multidrug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacilli, typically in combination with β-lactams. Ribosomal 16S RNA modification by methyltransferases (e.g. RmtG) is an aminoglycoside resistance mechanism that, along with the occurrence carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), has become a clinical concern. In Brazil, rmtG genes were initially reported in Klebsiella pneumoniae, and monitoring isolates from other species carrying this gene is critical for epidemiological studies and to prevent dissemination. Here we report the presence of rmtG in Klebisella aerogenes D3 and characterize its genetic context in comparison to isolates from other species. Further, we performed a phylogenetic reconstruction of 900 16S rRNA methyltransferases (16S-RMTases) and methyltransferase-related proteins. We show that, in K. aerogenes D3, rmtG co-occurs with sul2, near a transposon with an IS91-like insertion sequence. Resistome analysis revealed the co-production of RmtG and CTX-M-59. Ongoing surveillance of 16S-RMTases is crucial to delay the dissemination of such multiresistant isolates. Our results also highlight the reduction in treatment options for CRE infections, as well as the need of expanding prevention measures of these pathogens worldwide.

title: The perception of mental health professionals about marijuana

description: ABSTRACT Objective The perception of marijuana among mental health professionals is unknown in Brazil. The aim of this study was to compare mental health professionals’ perception and knowledge standards about marijuana in three institutions with different profiles. Methods Seventy professionals (psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists and nurses) from three mental health services – Nossa Senhora de Fátima Hospital (philanthropic hospital), CAPS-AD (public specialized service on treating drugs and alcohol dependents), and the Institute of Psychiatry at the Clinics Hospital, Medical School, University of São Paulo (academic and assistance service) were evaluated through a 31 affirmatives questionnaire created by researchers. Results Psychiatrists disagree more often than other health professionals on the need to treat marijuana users and on the idea that it causes cognitive damages. The professionals from Nossa Senhora de Fátima Hospital are more in favor of the prohibition of marijuana use and consider more the possible damages associated with its use, when compared to professionals from the other two institutions. Conclusions The perception of marijuana among mental health providers may vary according to their profession and work place.
