Feed utilization, energy expenditure and nitrogen metabolism in working female buffaloes ( Bubalus bubalis )

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Four 36-months-old female buffaloes, with a mean liveweight of 345 kg, were used in a study designed to estimate the effect of work (3 h/day) on feed utilization, energy expenditure and nitrogen metabolism. The animals were studied under ambient temperatures and relative humidities ranging from 25.3 to 32.5'C and 45 to 82% respectively, and were fed rice straw (0.8% nitrogen) ad libitum, supplemented with cottonseed meal at 500 g head-1 day-1 to result in a dietary nitrogen content of 1.15%. Work did not affect the digestibility of the feed but tended to reduce (P=0.054) ad libitum intake of its organic matter. Rectal temperatures and respiration rates were increased during work from 37.7 to a peak of 40.8¦C and from 40 to a peak of 130 counts/min respectively. The ratio of working : resting metabolic rate, as calculated from CO2 entry rates, was approximately 2.6. Estimates of energy expenditures from CO2 entry rates showed increases in the working animal by 2.3 to 2.7 times the resting values. Nitrogen balance was reduced in the working animal owing to increased catabolism of amino acids and the resultant increased excretion of urea via the urine. Urea entry rate was increased in the working animal, but the proportion of this that was estimated to be transferred to the digestive tract was not different from that in the non-working animal, although the amount transferred was greater in the working animal. It is suggested that increased muscular activity in the working animal would tend to reduce ad libitum intake of organic matter of a roughage such as rice straw, but could increase digestibility of organic matter possibly through reduction in the rate of passage of digesta and/or through increased amount of urea transferred to the rumen containing lower than an optimal level of ammonia. The increased catabolism of amino acids associated with increased muscular activity is likely to result in a reduced nitrogen balance due to the likely increased urea excretion via the urine. It is also suggested that CO2 entry rate could offer a reasonable estimate of energy expenditure in the resting and the working animal.
La censura cinematografica nel cinema documentario. I "mondo movie" e il filone africano, alcuni casi di studio

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In the present essay, I will investigate the role of censorship in Italian Mondo films made in the 1960s and 1970s, such as Africa addio (1966, Gualtiero Jacopetti, Franco Prosperi), Africa segreta (1969, Angelo Castiglioni, Alfredo Castiglioni, Guido Guerrasio), Africa ama (1971, Angelo Castiglioni, Alfredo Castiglioni, Guido Guerrasio). In particular, I will focus my analysis on the works made by Angelo and Alfredo Castiglioni with Guido Guerrasio. In addition to their relationship with censorship boards, their film – despite some similarities with Mondo genre – demonstrates the attempt to elaborate a different projectin the subgenre dedicated to the African continent.
WESE©: A Teaching and Learning Experience on Sustainability

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Walk, Experience, Share, and Enjoy. WESE is the acronym of an experimental teaching method. Over six days, twelve students and I walk the Via degli Dei ("Way of the Gods"), crossing the Apennines with our backpacks. This is a course about sustainability, but confined to neither development nor institutional decisions: sustainability, in WESE, also refers to personal choices in everyday life. The goals, therefore, are numerous: introducing students to environmental law (by showing them the environment and its scars), discussing and living sustainability (through group dynamics), rethinking academic relationships and goals (forgetting roles and forming a little, open, community). The article does not aim at providing a short "how-to" guide, even though it shows the path that led to the creation of the method and to its first implementation. It aims at sharing an academic experience that can help in understanding sustainability through a different route, involving not just "skills" but also the ability to connect with others, to live in the territory, and to "feel".
Effect of temperatures on electrodeposition of CoWP films

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

CoWP alloy films were prepared by a typical citrate system electrodeposition on a copper substrate. The paper investigated effects of different temperatures on codeposition mechanism, magnetic property, component and structure of CoWP alloy films during the electrodeposition process. With the increase in temperatures, deposition rate and thickness rose gradually during the electrodeposition process. It was found that higher temperature improved contents of phosphorus and tungsten but reduced amounts of cobalt in the films. Almost all the deposited films were crystalline and formed tetrahedral structures Co 3 W with preferred crystallographic orientation (200) and (201). Films of dissimilar surface morphology could be observed under different temperatures. Lower saturation magnetisation and higher coercivity of CoWP films could be obtained at higher temperatures.
Chemo-mechanical coupling in clays : from nano-scale to engineering applications

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The main operational parameters controlling borehole stability in drilling shales with environmentally acceptable water-based drilling fluids are the density and the chemical composition of the fluid. An electro-chemo-poro-elastic model for saturated shale is presented, which describes the interaction between the drilling fluid composition and the mechanical behaviour ofthc shale. Based on the theory ofmixtures, the model for the shale distinguishes four constituents: a compressible charged porous solid, compressible fluid, cations and anions. Each constituent is described by its individual balance cquation, which allows for the necessary intcraction between the constituents. The model includes osmotic swelling of the charged porous matrix and the flows of the fluid, ions and the current through the matrix are all fully coupled. Exact analytical solutions for the electro-chemical loading of a confined cylindrical shale sample are presented for the simplified near case.
The Pediatric/Adolescent Shoulder Survey (PASS): A Reliable Youth Questionnaire With Discriminant Validity and Responsiveness to Change

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background: Health-related quality of life tools for shoulder pathology in adults have been developed, such as the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) or QuickDASH. However, some content is not applicable to or readily grasped by a younger population. Purpose: To evaluate the psychometric properties of a new 13-item pediatric/adolescent shoulder survey (PASS). Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: An initial development cohort of children was given the PASS, QuickDASH, and single assessment numeric evaluation (SANE) in a prospective fashion. Internal reliability and concurrent validity were evaluated. Subsequent to this, the PASS, along with the QuickDASH, was incorporated into routine clinical evaluation of shoulder injuries. The secondary cohort was established via a retrospective review of patients (age <18 years) evaluated in our sports clinics for shoulder complaints. Discriminant validity and floor/ceiling effects were evaluated. A subset of patients with scores available both pre- and within 6 months postoperatively was analyzed to assess responsiveness to treatment. Results: Overall internal reliability of the shoulder survey was good in the development cohort of 127 patients, with Cronbach α = 0.86. Total score averaged 59.7% ± 17.9% in this cohort (range, 18.75%-100%). Significant correlations between all surveys were observed ( r = 0.51-0.79, P < .05). A total of 127 surveys were available for the secondary cohort. The QuickDASH demonstrated significant differences between sexes with regard to scores ( P < .05). Both tools were able to discriminate between patients with acute injuries and diminished clinical examinations ( P < .05). A significant correlation was observed between duration of symptoms and scores on the PASS. The subset of 25 patients with pre- and postoperative data showed significant change in total score and the symptoms/limitations domain of the PASS, with significant correlation with length of time since surgery. Conclusion: This 13-question pediatric/adolescent-focused shoulder survey shows excellent psychometric properties, good discriminant ability, and early evidence of responsiveness to change, especially when compared with an adult-formatted questionnaire.
Prices and Incomes in Linear Programming Models

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract A procedure is developed for representing competitive and noncompetitive market structures in linear programming models. Arbitrarily close approximations to nonlinear forms—in both the objective function and constraint set—can be made without much loss of the computational efficiency of the simplex algorithm. The noncompetitive market structure may be used for measuring income at endogenous prices in a competitive model and may serve as a constraint on that measure of income to represent certain classes of economic policies. Product substitution effects in demand can be approximated by a linear program. The demand structure can be transformed to take account of any shift in demand which can be represented by a rotation of the demand function.
Dietary and Botanical Supplement Therapy in Diabetes

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Context: As diabetes epidemic is gaining momentum in the society, the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) either in conjunction or as an alternative to conventional medicines is now common and popular. The use of CAM supplement is commonly ignored by physicians and patients with a belief that supplements are natural and not medicine. Thus, the spectrum of polypharmacy mandates clinician expertise to become well informed about the common CAM supplements used in treating diabetes. Evidence Acquisition: An extensive literature search of clinical trials, systematic reviews, and narrative reviews was completed in PubMed from years 1970 to 2013. The keywords for this search included diabetes, complementary and alternative medicine, botanical supplements, and herbal medicine. Evidence Synthesis: Modern societies are experiencing unprecedented levels of chronic and preventable diseases. Western medications often treat the symptoms or the effects of a disease but do little to prevent them. This issue in general has diverted people’s attention again towards dietary supplements and herbal medicine over the past few years. Therefore, the use of medicinal foods, nutritional supplements are becoming more common to prevent disease and related complications. Since there is no documentation of adverse effects, the potential for herb- drug or herb-dietary supplement interaction is a big challenge due to the multiple prescription medicines consumed by the diabetic patients. However, even though CAM therapies have been shown to have impact on the glycemic control, the risk associated with the drug use is still a concern. Conclusion: The purpose of this clinical review is to bring awareness among health care providers about selected dietary and botanical supplements frequently used by the patients with diabetes and to provide a framework to advice patients on CAM use.
EFFECT OF AEROBIC DANCE EXERCISE ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF FALLING RISK IN OLDER WOMEN

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

This study was designed to determine the effect of aerobic dance exercise on the improvement indices of falling risk in older women. Thirty-eight healthy women aged 72-87 years participants were selected using purposive random sampling technique. The participants were assigned to exercise and control group. Twenty women performed aerobic dance exercise for 20 minutes, 3 days in a week, for 8 weeks. The exercise included single-leg standing, squatting, marching and heel touching, targeted balance, strength, locomotion and agility. The design for this study was one group experimental research design. The means, range, standard deviation of the scores of the test were used to describe the data while the inferential statistics of t-test set at 0.05 alpha level was used to determine the effect of aerobic dance exercise on the improvement indices of falling risk in older women. At the pre-test, both exercise and control groups performed similarly in all tests. At the end of the intervention, the exercise group showed significantly greater single-leg balance with eyes closed, functional reach, and walking time around two cones. In contrast, there were no significant improvements in any of the test measures in the control group. Therefore, aerobic dance exercise specifically designed for older women may improve selected components of balance and locomotion/agility, thereby attenuating risks of falling.
Indian Financial System Reform

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

India’s financial sector has become much more diversified, with capital markets playing an increasingly important role. These markets have been substantially deregulated and, recent changes notwithstanding, many restrictions on capital flows have been eased, especially with respect to equity inflows. As well, the health of the public banks, which initially had very weak balance sheets, has been restored. While India’s regulatory, supervisory and financial policy authorities have made progress, they are likely to face challenges related to several aspects characterising the country’s financial system, including its banking sector and its capital markets. Banks remain subject to government imposed constraints on their lending portfolios and the banking sector is still dominated by public institutions. Although the Indian government has intensified its efforts to develop corporate bond markets, the latter remain relatively underdeveloped. Equity markets, which have evolved considerably, have recently been characterised by substantial price increases, in part reflecting large foreign inflows. This development raises the question of sustainability of valuations under changing global monetary liquidity conditions and risk aversion. Different policy responses have been considered by Indian authorities. Representatives from these authorities expressed a reluctance to interfere with the market process. However, the recent decisions by policy authorities suggest that during the course of the ongoing deliberations by policy authorities, these considerations have been outweighed by concerns about the consequences of failing to constrain inflows. The decision by authorities to disallow issuance of “participatory notes” by foreign institutional investors has to be seen in this context.
The inhibition effect of etidronate on degradation behavior of Mg–Zn–Y-Nd-Zr alloy

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The control of corrosion behavior of Mg alloys for biomedical applications is a research hotspot in the field of biodegradable metallic implant materials. In recent years, the employment of corrosion inhibitors for regulating the corrosion behavior of Mg alloys has attracted attention. In this work, a promising corrosion inhibitor for Mg alloys, Etidronate (ETN), was selected from the drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis, and its effect on the corrosion behavior of Mg–Zn–Y-Nd-Zr (ZE21C Mg alloy) in simulated body fluids was systematically studied. The results show that ETN not only reduces the corrosion rate of the alloy, but also significantly weakens its tendency of localized corrosion, which is beneficial for improving the service reliability of Mg alloy for orthopedic application. This study provides an idea for corrosion control of biodegradable Mg alloys and is of great significance for promoting their development and applications.
Policy Tools for Managing Biological Pollution Risks from Trade

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The spread of infectious livestock diseases can be considered a form of “biological pollution.” Prior literature asserts trade-related biological pollution externalities arise from trade in contaminated goods. However, this literature ignores (i) importers’ ability to reduce disease spillovers via private risk management choices and (ii) the potential for strategic interactions to arise when an importer’s risk management measures simultaneously protect himself and others. This paper explores the design of efficient disease prevention policies when importers can mitigate disease risks to others. We demonstrate that the biological pollution externality extends beyond trade-related activities—in contrast to prior work—and derive efficient policy incentives to internalize the externality. We also find spillovers between importers may be characterized by strategic complementarities, leading to multiple Nash-equilibrium levels of risk-mitigating activities. Additional command-and-control policies may also be needed alongside priced-based incentives to achieve efficiency in this case.
Variation in vein mineralogy and mineral chemistry around the Marathon Cu-Pd deposit, Ontario: insights into the development of an exploration tool

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The Marathon Cu-Pd deposit (125 Mt at 0.26% Cu, 0.72 ppm Pd, 0.25 ppm Pt, and 0.08 ppm Au) is hosted within the Two Duck Lake Intrusion (TDLI), a late-stage phase of the Eastern Gabbro in the Coldwell Complex. Late-stage chlorite±calcite veins are present in and around the Marathon deposit, indicating subsolidus movement of fluids throughout mineralized and barren rocks. The hypothesis to be tested is did fluids migrating upwards through mineralized rock mobilize metals into overlying barren rock and was this movement recorded in the chemistry of vein minerals? Chlorite- and calcite-bearing veins were collected from drillholes throughout the deposit. The drill-core samples contain veins hosted in variably mineralized and barren host rocks. Chlorite, the dominant phase, occurs as very fine-grained, bladed crystals in massive, radiating, or aligned aggregates. The veins also contain minor saponite, talc, serpentine, and/or amphibole. Mineral chemistry data from energy- and wavelength-dispersive spectroscopy indicate that the Fe/Mg ratio in chlorite (chamosite to clinochlore) is highly variable, and varies as a function of host-rock type. Laser ablation ICP-MS analyses were carried out on 52 chlorite samples collected throughout the deposit and barren host rocks. Transition metals were detected in all chlorite veins, whereas metalloids were only detected in a subset of samples. Titanium, Cr, Mn, Zn, and metalloid concentrations do not correlate with host-rock type. Transition metal concentrations in vein chlorite that crosscuts plagioclase, pyroxene, and pyrrhotite are comparable; however, chlorite in veins that occur in magnetite, altered olivine, and chalcopyrite have distinctive transition metal signatures (e.g. significantly higher Ti and V concentrations in veins hosted by magnetite), indicating that chlorite chemistry was controlled on a very local scale. Cobalt, Ni, and Cu concentrations are greater above mineralization than within mineralization. The Mn concentrations in chlorite increase linearly towards mineralization, whereas Co, Ni, and Zn decrease. When employing chlorite chemistry as a vector to mineralization, grain-scale variations in chlorite must be considered. Our results show that when these small-scale controls on chlorite composition are recognized, the chemistry of chlorite can be a successful exploration tool.

Territorial Dimension in the Naga Peace Process

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Peace process in Nagaland draws one’s attention to the impending havoc if the Nagas’ declaration of ‘integration’ of all Naga inhabited areas, that has definite territorial dimension, is not dealt with great maturity of mind. Naga political conflict which was commenced since the late 1940s is un-fathomable without understanding the Nagas’ aspiration for integration. Such aspiration of the Nagas, however, has the potential to set-off fresh round of conflict in the Northeast region of India involving the issue of redrawing the boundary of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur. In the light of this, the following paper will make an effort to examine the territorial difficulties involved in the Nagas’ aspiration. It will also try to analyse the authenticity of the Nagas’ claim for integration as their ‘birthright’.

Living within stories: Exploring the experiences of people with transient ischemic attack

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

Abstract A transient ischemic attack ( TIA ) significantly increases a person's risk of ischemic stroke. However, little is known about the experiences of these people or what influences their decision to access care. This article explores the stories of three people who experienced a TIA . All participants were interviewed after receiving a diagnosis of TIA by a specialist neurologist. By utilizing a framework of narrative inquiry, several storylines were revealed across temporal, social, and geographical landscapes. The main storylines include: bodily disruption, time stasis, altered temporal perceptions, the roles of others, and help‐seeking behavior. The primary author also reflects upon his own origin and explores how this inquiry has influenced his perceptions, career, and nursing practice. This inquiry may assist healthcare workers to gain insight into the experiences of people with TIA and suggests how involvement of significant others is beneficial when educating people at risk of TIA .
