A trial of sepia 200

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Abstract The effect of Sepia 200c on the reproductive performance of Friesian cross dairy cows was assessed in a controlled trial from September 1989 until August 1990. Overall reproductive performance was monitored monthly and pregnancy diagnosis and cyclical status was determined. The cows were randomly allocated to 4 groups, untreated controls, placebo controls, Sepia-treated 24 to 48 hours postpartum and Sepia-teated day 14 postpartum. The trial was concluded in July 1990 when another treatment was employed to reduce declining herd reproductive status. Statistical analysis of the results was based on differences between the placebo control and the Sepia-treated, 24–48 hours postpartum, the pooled control groups and placebo control with Sepia day 14, and lastly the difference between the 2 Sepia-treated groups. The highest rates of periparturient disease occurred in the Sepia-treated groups, the highest single incidence rate of periparturient disease risk (cysts) found in the cows in the Sepia 24 to 48 hours postpartum group. Sepia day 14 produced the largest percentage of cows seen in first oestrus (45%), the largest number of observed heats (60%) in the cows without periparturient disease risk factors or recurrent traits and the lowest total mean value days to oestrus post-treatment. Sepia day 14 produced the largest percentage that held to first service, the lowest post-treatment period to first service, calving to conception interval, mean number of services and rectal examinations per conception, mean day calving interval and calving index. The results show that the effect of Sepia 200c administered to cows two weeks postpartum increased the numbers of cows observed in first oestrus, held to first service and lowered the calving to conception interval and calving index. The results of the Sepia day 14 postpartum group were also found to be compatible with the same group data reported in the previous study.
Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Functionally Graded AlSi/MWCNT Composite Cylinders

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Experimental fabrication of functionally graded Aluminum Silicon-carbon nanotubes (AlSi-MWCNT) reinforcement is significantly less, despite substantial theoretical interest. Many studies focused on axially layered functionally graded material because of ease of fabrication. Full advantage of AlSi-MWCNT functionally graded material only is taken when designed to the various shapes. In this research work, functionally graded cylinders were produced with 2wt% MWCNT at the outer surface to provide a complex and wear-resistant surface. The interior surface is soft with AlSi to provide elasticity. FGM1 sample indicates 112% and 11% increase in maximum tensile strength compared to AlSi and AlSi-MWCNT1wt%. FGM1 sample shows a 37% increase in elongation percentage compared to the AlSi-MWCNT1wt% composite. Test samples showing the typical nature of barrelling. FGM1 sample exhibits compressive strength of 237MPa, exceeding by 245% that of AlSi and by 3.5% that of AlSi-MWCNT1wt%. Three samples consider for each test. Hardness value ranges from 65HV at the core to 115HV at the outer surface. Hardness value Exceeds 56% in the outer layer compared to an inner region of FGM2.There is a proper bond between the layers, and the same demonstrate with properties of tensile, compressive, and hardness. OM with porosity, SEM with EDX evaluates to predict structural gradation in FGM cylinder.

[Electronic transfer between DNA or between RNA of slightly different chemical structure].

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Abstract : The addition of a halogen at peak 5 of a pyrimidine turns the RNA so modified into a 'donor' on a DNA or a normal RNA. That is why FU AND FO are able to prevent the division in half of the DNA. The addition of CH3 on the cytosine turns the DNA of the T2 phage into an 'acceptor' with regard to the DNA of E. coli. This is what may cause the formation of the DNA of the phage at the expense of the DNA of the bacterium.
Non-Classical Problems of Irreversible Deformation in Terms of the Synthetic Theory

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The paper is concerned with the generalization of the synthetic theory to the modeling of both plastic and creep deformation. Non-classical problems such as creep delay, the Bauschinger negative effect and reverse creep have been analytically described; the calculated results show satisfactory agreement with experiments. These problems cannot be modeled in terms of classical creep/plasticity theories. The main peculiarity of the generalized synthetic theory consists in the fact that the macro-deformation is highly associated with processes occurring on the micro-level of material.
Back to School After COVID‐19: The Views of Psychological Counselors at Schools About the Effects of the Pandemic on Students

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This study aimed to determine the effects of the pandemic on students returning to school after COVID‐19 from the perspective of school psychological counsellors. The research was designed as a qualitative study using a phenomenological design. The study group of the research consists of 11 psychological counselors at schools working in public schools in Türkiye, who were determined by maximum diversity and criterion sampling from purposeful sampling methods at the end of the 2021–2022 academic year. The data were collected using a semistructured interview form created by the researchers. MAXQDA 2020 program was used to analyze the data. As a result of the analysis, themes were obtained regarding the effects of the pandemic on students. These themes include the changes in students’ emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and academic dimensions, the topics that school psychological counsellors included in their programs after the pandemic, and the topics they suggested to be included in the program in the following years. The results of the study reveal that after the pandemic, there is a need for practices on emotion regulation, conscious use of technology, development of social skills, reducing bullying, improving psychological resilience, and increasing school motivation and academic success. It is thought that the research may contribute to the development of practices that can reduce the harmful effects of COVID‐19 on students and positively affect students’ mental health at school.

Prevalence of fragility fractures according to quality and outcomes framework (qof) of the general medical services (gms) contract and quality initiatives to improve osteoporosis care in the general practice within caerphilly county borough, wales, UK: a feasibility study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Introduction:Osteoporosis is defined as a reduction in bone mineral density resulting in reduced bone strength and increase the risk of fractures.Osteoporosis is a silent condition and often diagnosed following a fracture which has a huge impact on person's life.The aim of this feasibility study was to measure the prevalence of fragility fractures in all patients above 50 years of age according to Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) of the General Medical Services (GMS) contract and apply quality improvement methodology to improve osteoporosis care. Method:This was a retrospective observational study to complete analysis for all known patients above age 50 years with diagnosed osteoporosis, known fragility fracture or prescribed osteoporosis treatment according to a General Practice database.General Practice staff was actively involved to implement quality initiatives.The pilot study was classed as service evaluation project according to health research authority decision tool. Results:The practice has 6300 patients on 1st Oct 2017 and 320 were included but 6 patients were excluded.Analysis was completed for 314 patients.The mean age of studied cohort (above 50 years age) was 75.5±10.5years and 66.9% (210/314) were female.Mean number of co-morbidities for the studied population was 4.4±2.8.66% (208/314) patients were on polypharmacy and the mean number of drugs was 6.8±4.2.45.5% (143/314) had recorded fracture and of that 83 % (116/140) were classed as a fragility fracture (vertebra, wrist, hip, humorous and pelvis).89 patients were on osteoporosis drugs, 44% (51/116) patients diagnosed fragility fractures were on appropriate treatment.33.4% (40/116) patients were not treated according to guidance and 7.3% (23/314) were prescribed osteoporosis drugs inappropriately.43.6% (137/314) patients were discussed as part of quality initiatives and were treated to guidance. Conclusion:This study suggests that an average practice of 6000 patients could have 2% prevalence of fragility fractures and one-third may not be treated to guidance.Regular monitoring of practice data and implementing quality initiatives enhance autonomous osteoporosis care by general practice doctors.Similar intervention is needed more widely to prevent a second fracture.
Influence of elevated somatic cell count on casein distribution and cheese-making

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Summary The effects of increased somatic cell count, whether caused by infection or by experimental infusion of bacterial endotoxin, on the distribution in milk of caseins between the micellar and soluble forms were investigated. The relationship of somatic cell count to some cheese-making parameters was also studied. With quite modestly elevated cell counts (2–3 × 10 6 /ml) increases of up to 37% in total casein in the soluble phase were observed, most of which was contributed by β-casein, while κ- and α s1 -caseins increased only slightly. With storage at 4°C, the concentrations of all the caseins, Ca and phosphate in the soluble phase increased substantially during the first 48 h, but this was followed by a slight decline on further storage. Rennet clotting time, losses of fat in whey, curd moisture, and losses in curd yield and rigidity were all greater the higher the somatic count. Clear differences were detectable in these parameters between milks of very low cell count (e.g. 5 × 10 4 cells/ml) and milks with counts more typical of those found in bulk supplies (e.g. about 5 × 10 5 cells/ml). If these findings can be reproduced in commercial practice even a modest reduction in bulk milk somatic cell counts might be expected to bring definite benefits.
Dynamics of Contested Sanctity in Mosques: A Historical Perspective

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Mosques are symbols of peace and pluralism. However, some mosques are built over pre-Islamic places of worship or are considered sacred by non-Muslims. This has the potential to trigger interfaith tensions and conflicts. This article argues that mosques should be spaces and symbols of peace, religious tolerance, and multiculturalism. The study uses direct observation and compares textual and material evidence related to several large mosques in different countries. It concludes that mosque construction should consider historical and interfaith sensitivities, uphold the sanctity of places of worship, and avoid all forms of heresy. Mosque architecture and buildings can be a mirror of harmony and pluralism. Mosques are aesthetically adaptive and accommodate local wisdom, culture, and religious traditions. Historically controversial mosques cannot be justified and imitated as Islamic mosques in general. Mosque construction must prioritise peaceful views and rational spiritual understanding to maintain harmony and pluralism.
[Slowly-adapting mechanoreceptor units of the guinea pig mammary nipple].

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Slowly--adapting mechanoreceptor units of areola and nipple (MAI and MAII) at rest exhibited spontaneous 1--2/sec firing in 6% only. At constant mechanical displacement of the skin surface. MAI had an irregular firing while MAII--regular one. Mean frequency of MAI and MAII APs linearly depended on the amplitude of mechanical stimulus. trepeated stimulation of MAI and MAII reduced number of APs for each successive stimulus. At sinusoidal mechanical stimulation, the smallest AP threshold for MAI and MAII was about 10--15 Hz.
Power required to maintain an electron in a discharge: Its use as a reference parameter in magnetized high frequency plasmas

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Earlier works on discharges sustained by electromagnetic surface waves in absence of a magnetic field have revealed the central role played by the power balance per electron. This balance relation stated that, provided energy transport is negligible, the power θL lost by the electron on the average in collisions with heavy particles is exactly compensated under steady-state conditions by the power θA taken by the electron on the average from the high frequency (hf) field, their common value being the parameter θ. Then, because θL is to a first approximation the same in all hf discharges under given discharge conditions and power density, a simple discharge model valid for all hf plasmas was used. The present article is an extension of this approach to hf magnetized plasmas, using surface-wave plasma columns placed in an axially directed static magnetic field as a means of investigation. We observe that θ decreases monotonously when increasing the magnetic field intensity B0, showing no extremum at or close to the electron cyclotron resonance frequency match over the gas pressure range (5–100 mTorr) investigated. We show that θ is controlled either by classical ambipolar diffusion or anomalous diffusion, the actual diffusion regime depending on whether the novel parameter B0p (p is gas pressure) is small or large. Our measured θ values are further used to estimate the average electron density in helicon sources given the power density, showing fair agreement with the reported values.
Fuzzy Model of Digital Assessment of Donation Systems’ Level in COVID-19

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

The digitalization of the healthcare system, consisting of the use of digital tools in patient treatment procedures, takes the donation system and the Blood Service to a new level of development.The most important components of the donation systems' management are digital models that reduce the role of a person in making various decisions and increase the level of effectiveness.Assessment of the donation systems' level of development on a global scale as a whole and in various regions of Russia, in particular, has been and remains an essential component of effective management in the context of the health care system digitalization.As part of this work, it is proposed to build a digital model for assessing the effectiveness and development of donation systems, based on the one hand on fuzzy management technologies, and on the other, on a systematic analysis of data in conditions of incomplete information.The proposed model allows ranking donor systems, distributing them into classes of "low", "medium", "high".The article shows the principles of constructing a fuzzy management model based on real data from the regional donor system of the Sverdlovsk region, taking into account COVID-19.
Enhancing Customer Churn Prediction in Telecommunications: An Adaptive Ensemble Learning Approach

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Customer churn, the discontinuation of services by existing customers, poses a significant challenge to the telecommunications industry. This paper proposes a novel adaptive ensemble learning framework for highly accurate customer churn prediction. The framework integrates multiple base models, including XGBoost, LightGBM, LSTM, a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural network, and Support Vector Machine (SVM). These models are strategically combined using a stacking ensemble method, further enhanced by meta-feature generation from base model predictions. A rigorous data preprocessing pipeline, coupled with a multi-faceted feature engineering approach, optimizes model performance. The framework is evaluated on three publicly available telecom churn datasets, demonstrating substantial accuracy improvements over state-of-the-art techniques. The research achieves a remarkable 99.28% accuracy, signifying a major advancement in churn prediction.The implications of this research for developing proactive customer retention strategies withinthe telecommunications industry are discussed.
[DNA analysis in the determination of a predisposition for hypertension].

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Angiotensinogen gene belongs to the genes designated as hypertension candidate genes. These genes might participate in development of hypertension. The aim of this work was to establish frequency of the mutant allele M235T on angiotensinogen gene in Slovak population and compare this frequency with that obtained from the group of hypertensive patients. We tested DNA from 120 healthy individuals and 20 hypertensive patients. By polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction analysis we determined frequency of mutant allele M235T in healthy population as well as in the group of hypertensive patients. We have found that frequency of the mutant allele in Slovak population was 0.33, while among hypertensive patients 0.45. Percentage of heterozygosity for M235T allele was 44.5%. Frequency of this mutant allele was significantly higher among women compared to men (0.38 vs. 0.27). Increased frequency of M235T allele among hypertensive patients compared to healthy population confirm that M235T mutation is bound to increased blood pressure. This quick and noninvasive method should help in the future to determine the possible risk of hypertension development. (Tab. 1, Fig. 2, Ref. 9.)
A Multivariate Approach for Denoising of T2 Relaxation Decay Curves in Myelin Water Fraction Imaging

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Accurately measuring brain myelin content in vivo holds great promise for studying and understanding of number of brain diseases. A surrogate marker for myelin, myelin water fraction (MWF), can be measured with MR relaxation techniques that sample the T2 decay with multiple echoes. Low signalto-noise ratios in later echoes, sub-optimal flip angles, and the fact that robust decomposition into multiple exponential curves is notoriously difficult, all conspire to reduce the accuracy of MWF estimates. The resulting maps are typically spatially noisy - despite the fact that adjacent white matter voxels are usually assumed to have similar myelin measures in vivo.Here we propose a spatio-temporal filtering process prior to the standard fitting based on a combination of multivariate empirical mode decomposition (MEMD) and multiset canonical correlation analysis (MCCA) to decompose and find the most robust temporal decay pattern among voxels that have similar overall decay curves and across the white matter. Based on enhanced spatial smoothness measures, increased test-retest reliability within subjects, and decreased Coefficient of Variation of MWF scores, we suggest that the proposed approach provides enhanced accuracy of the ultimately-computed MWF maps.

This chapter reviews the scholarly treatment of religion and race in the early modern Iberian Atlantic world and colonial Latin America and suggests new directions for research. Through a critical reflection of the place that Spain and colonial Latin America have held in histories of race in the West, the chapter challenges historians of the Americas to rethink their understanding of the relationship between religion and race in the early modern era. It highlights processes and ideologies visible in Spanish America and calls for investigation into similar dynamics in the Anglophone colonies.
IS flexibility : analysis of a flexible mobile roaming system

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Recent research suggests that IS flexibility is a key factor in achieving competitive advantage, particularly in fast-changing business environments. However, IS flexibility is not easy to assess. In a previous research, we have built a comprehensive multi-dimensional framework of IS flexibility, that has been subjected to a first evaluation by managers. This paper describes the analysis of a complex roaming system which is qualified by users as flexible, based on our framework dimensions.
Morphometric studies suggest taxonomic changes in a species complex in Chromolaena (Asteraceae, Eupatorieae, Praxelinae)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT The Chromolaena congesta complex (Asteraceae, Eupatorieae) presents a difficult challenge for biodiversity researchers due to the intertwined connections of its species and the difficulty of establishing morphological boundaries. In this study, we aimed to use morphometric analyses to evaluate the delimitation of the taxa belonging to the C. congesta complex, identify informative morphological traits and to understand the identity of several “atypical” specimens morphologically related to the complex. To achieve this, we used cluster and principal component analysis to evaluate 50 morphological traits from a total of 210 specimens throughout the geographic distribution of the species complex. We found support for the recognition of at least six species - Chromolaena ascendens, C. gentianoides, C. hirsuta, C. latisquamulosa, C. rhinanthacea and C. squarrulosa - according to a phenetic species concept and to corroborate the restoration of three species from synonymy. Furthermore, our results provide a morphological recircumscription of C. congesta and C. elliptica and indicate two taxonomic novelties, including a new combination and a new species. Despite the answers provided by morphology, many taxonomic issues remain to be solved, and further studies with other types of evidence should be carried to contribute towards a more stable classification.
Construction of Plant Expression Constructs Harboring Full-length <i>Bt</i> Cry1Ac22 Toxin Gene and Truncated Functional Domains of <i>Bt</i> Cry1Ac22 Toxin and Arabidopsis Transformation

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The full-length Bt toxin gene (3 534 bp) and truncated functional domains of Bt toxin gene (1 959 bp) of cry1Ac22 were amplified by PCR from Bt strain W015-1. The PCR products were ligated into plant expression vector pBI121 cutting off the s-glucuronidase gene to make the constructs of pBI121-Cry1Ac22F and pBI121-Cry1Ac22T. The constructs carrying with Kanamycin resistant marker were transferred into T-DNA vector and then validated by restricted enzyme digestion and PCR identification. Arabidopsis transformation with the transfered T-DNA vector were performed during the flowering stage mediated by Agrobacterium tumufaciens . Transgenic Arabidopsis seeds with positive Kanamycin resistance were harvested in this research that facilitate the understanding of Bt toxin functions in plant transgenic breeding.
