Propuesta de estrategias administrativas – financieras para la mitigación de los efectos de la roya en la Cooperativa El Gorrión RL de Yalí- Jinotega, en el período 2011-2012

El presente trabajo muestra la problemática que genera la expansión de la roya para el sector cafetalero organizado por causa de incidencias tanto administrativas como financieras, que se han presentado en la cooperativa de servicios múltiples El Gorrión R.L. Se expresa esta idea dado que en determinado momento la actividad cafetalera es fuente clave para la dinamización socio-económica de dicha cooperativa y cultivo prioritario de sus ingresos, siendo este su principal motor, cuyo curso está siendo gravemente afectado financieramente debido a la pérdida de un gran porcentaje de la producción actual de café causado por la roya en donde la mayoría de los productores se han visto obligados a desbastar sus plantíos de café para evitar el contagio de los nuevos plantíos, lo cual ha generado a ambas partes grandes pérdidas monetarias

Agricultura de temporal y seguridad alimentaria en familias campesinas, un estudio de caso en Puebla-México

We analyze inputs related to different strategies of social reproduction that help ensure food security, among provincial peasant families. Methodology employed qualitative techniques such as: in situ observation, semi-structured interviews, and quantitative techniques including: a closed-ended questionnaire that was applied to a statistically significant sample, along with statistical tests. The findings indicate efficiency for the strategies of those families who prioritize agricultural activities. Peasant families employ four strategies to guarantee their food security: monetary income, agricultural systems, collection of wild produce and the exchange of food products. In conclusion, identity and food culture in Calpan are affirmed by milpa cultivation and the home garden.Se analizan los aportes de diferentes estrategias de reproducción social de familias campesinas que les permiten garantizar la seguridad alimentaria. La metodología empleó técnicas cualitativas como: la observación in situ, entrevistas semi estructuradas, y cuantitativas como: la aplicación de un cuestionario de tipo cerrado aplicado a una muestra estadísticamente significativa y se aplicaron pruebas estadísticas. Los hallazgos indican eficiencia en las estrategias de las familias que priorizan las actividades agrícolas. Las familias campesinas cuentan con cuatro estrategias que garantizan su seguridad alimentaria: el ingreso monetario, la estructura agropecuaria, la recolección de bienes de la naturaleza y el intercambio de bienes alimenticios. En conclusión, la identidad y la cultura alimentaria en Calpan se afirman a través del cultivo de la milpa y el huerto familiar

Study of meat and carcass quality-related traits in Turkey populations through discriminant canonical analysis

The present research aimed to determine the main differences in meat and carcass quality traits among turkey genotypes worldwide and describe the clustering patterns through the use of a discriminant canonical analysis (DCA). To achieve this goal, a comprehensive meta-analysis of 75 documents discussing carcass and meat characteristics in the turkey species was performed. Meat and carcass attributes of nine different turkey populations were collected and grouped in terms of the following clusters: carcass dressing traits, muscle fiber properties, pH, color-related traits, water-retaining characteristics, texture-related traits, and meat chemical composition. The Bayesian ANOVA analysis reported that the majority of variables statistically differed (p < 0.05), and the multicollinearity analysis revealed the absence of redundancy problems among variables (VIF < 5). The DCA reported that cold carcass weight, slaughter weight, sex-male, carcass/piece weight, and the protein and fat composition of meat were the traits explaining variability among different turkey genotypes (Wilks’ lambda: 0.488, 0.590, 0.905, 0.906, 0.937, and 0.944, respectively). The combination of traits in the first three dimensions explained 94.93% variability among groups. Mahalanobis distances cladogram-grouped populations following a cluster pattern and suggest its applicability as indicative of a turkey genotype’s traceability

Candidate Genes and Their Expressions Involved in the Regulation of Milk and Meat Production and Quality in Goats (Capra hircus)

Despite their pivotal position as relevant sources for high-quality proteins in particularly hard environmental contexts, the domestic goat has not benefited from the advances made in genomics compared to other livestock species. Genetic analysis based on the study of candidate genes is considered an appropriate approach to elucidate the physiological mechanisms involved in the regulation of the expression of functional traits. This is especially relevant when such functional traits are linked to economic interest. The knowledge of candidate genes, their location on the goat genetic map and the specific phenotypic outcomes that may arise due to the regulation of their expression act as a catalyzer for the efficiency and accuracy of goat-breeding policies, which in turn translates into a greater competitiveness and sustainable profit for goats worldwide. To this aim, this review presents a chronological comprehensive analysis of caprine genetics and genomics through the evaluation of the available literature regarding the main candidate genes involved in meat and milk production and quality in the domestic goat. Additionally, this review aims to serve as a guide for future research, given that the assessment, determination and characterization of the genes associated with desirable phenotypes may provide information that may, in turn, enhance the implementation of goat-breeding programs in future and ensure their sustainability

Antenatal Fear of Childbirth as a Risk Factor for a Bad Childbirth Experience

Giving birth is one of the most impressive experiences in life. However, many pregnant women suffer from fear of childbirth (FOC) and experience labour in very different ways, depending on their personality, previous life experiences, pregnancy, and birth circumstances. The aim of this study was to analyse how fear of childbirth affects the childbirth experience and to assess the related consequences. For this, a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in a sample of 414 women between 1 July 2021 and 30 June 2022. The Birth Anticipation Scale (BAS) was used to measure fear of childbirth and the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ-E) was applied to measure satisfaction with the childbirth experience. Fear of childbirth negatively and significantly predicted the childbirth experience. In addition, women who were more fearful of childbirth were found to have worse obstetric outcomes and a higher likelihood of having a caesarean delivery (p = 0.008 C. I 95%). Fear behaved as a risk factor for the birth experience, so the greater the fear, the higher the risk of having a worse birth experience (OR 1.1). Encouraging active listening and support strategies may increase pregnant women's confidence, thus decreasing their fear of the process and improving their childbirth experience

Session D7: Fishway with Two Entrance Locations: Understanding its importance for Iberian Barbel

Abstract In recent years, in the Iberian Peninsula, many fish passes have been built and improved. To ensure the proper operation of these, it is essential to carry out an evaluation and subsequent monitoring, considering both biologic and hydraulic aspects. We analyze the performance of Iberian barbel –Luciobarbus bocagei (Steindachner, 1864)– in a technical fishway: pool and weir, with bottom orifice. It is located in the Josefina hydropower plant (Duero River, Valladolid, Spain). Fish ladder has two fish entrances: one in the turbine outlet channel and another in the natural river course. Both the most relevant hydraulic values (flow, velocity, volumetric energy dissipation) and biological parameters (movement pattern, attraction, entry and passage) were measured. Biological assessment was conducted in the spawning season using PIT tag technology. The main influence on upstream movement was river discharge. There were no preferences between path selection; and ascent success and transit time were similar between two entrances.. Results highlight the importance of two access points for improve entrance and decrease migration delay

Variability of blood eosinophil count and prognosis of COPD exacerbations

MPOC; Eosinofília; ExacerbacióEPOC; Eosinofilia; ExacerbaciónCOPD; Eosinophilia; ExacerbationBackground Eosinophils in peripheral blood are one of the emerging biomarkers in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. However, when analysing the relationship between peripheral eosinophilia and COPD prognosis, highly variable results are obtained. The aim of our study is to describe the serum eosinophilia levels in COPD patients and to analyse their relationship to prognosis following hospital admission. Methods A prospective observational study was conducted from 1 October 2016 to 1 October 2018 in the following Spanish centres: Salnés County Hospital in Vilagarcía de Arousa, Arquitecto Marcide Hospital in Ferrol and the University Hospital Complex in Santiago de Compostela. The patients were classified using three cut-off points of blood eosinophil count (BEC): 150 cells/µL, 300 cells/µL, and 400 cells/µL; in addition, the peripheral BEC was analysed on admission. Results 615 patients were included in the study, 86.2% male, mean age 73.9 years, and mean FEV1 52.7%. The mean stay was 8.4 days, and 6% of all patients were readmitted early. No significant relationship was observed between the BEC, neither in the stable phase nor in the acute phase, and hospital stay, readmissions, deaths during admission, the need for intensive care, or the condition of frequent exacerbator. Conclusion The results of our study do not seem to support the usefulness of BEC as a COPD biomarker.This paper has not been funded by any project or scholarship
