Physical and financial evaluation of a group of high producing dairy farms in New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science (MApplSc) in Pastoral Science, Institute of Natural Resources, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand

Traditionally, New Zealand dairy production has been based on high pasture utilisation at high stocking rates, which resulted in low animal performance. Recently, a group of farmers (AGMARDT - Dairy Farm Monitoring Programme) gradually changed their production policy to a high production per hectare system achieved through high animal performance. The system is based on pre and post grazing herbage mass targets, strategic use of supplements to overcome pasture deficit and moderate stocking rates (2.7 cows/ha). This project evaluated the physical and financial characteristics of nine case study farms in the Southern North Island of New Zealand, involved in these changes. A one-year system study was conducted (2000/2001) in which physical and financial data were obtained to identify factors affecting farm production, efficiency and profitability. The results showed that the systems were effective and profitable, under the conditions in the 2000/2001 year. Average annual milksolids production per cow (411 kg MS/cow/year) and per hectare (1,100 kg MS/ha/year) for the case study farms were 33% higher than the national average. Average annual total intake for all farms was 5,257 kg DM/cow, 14,035 kg DM/ha, 59,656 MJ ME/cow and 159,232 MJ ME/ha. Mean economic farm surplus per ha for all case study farms (NZ$3,077/ha) was higher than regional averages (by 622 = 0.71) and per hectare (R 2 = 0.74) were closely correlated with pasture intake. Supplements (24$5.00/kg MS will probably not remain in the future, control of production costs should receive more emphasis, particularly supplement costs. Keywords: dairy system, pasture management, feed quality, pasture intake, supplement intake, animal performance, stocking rate, feed conversion efficiency, cost of milksolids production, profitability

The methodological framework of the study has its foundations in Thompson's depth hermeneutics (1995). The results of analyses carried out point to a possible reinterpretation of the event as a communication action in the exercise of social responsibility

Effects of thyroxine replacement on endothelial function and carotid artery intima-media thickness in female patients with mild subclinical hypothyroidism

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested an association between subclinical hypothyroidism and coronary artery disease that could be related to changes in serum lipids or endothelial dysfunction. METHODS: Thirty-two female subclinical hypothyroidism patients were randomly assigned to 12 months of L-thyroxine replacement or no treatment. Endothelial function was measured by the flow-mediated vasodilatation of the brachial artery, as well as mean carotid artery intima-media thickness, and lipid profiles were studied at baseline and after 12 months of follow-up. RESULTS: The mean ( ± SD) serum thyroid-stimulating hormone levels in the L-thyroxine replacement and control groups were 6.09±1.32 and 6.27 ± 1.39 μUI/ml, respectively. No relationship between carotid artery intima-media thickness or brachial flow-mediated vasodilatation and free T4 and serum thyroid-stimulating hormone was found. The median L-T4 dose was 44.23 ± 18.13 μg/day. After 12 months, there was a significant decrease in the flow-mediated vasodilatation in the subclinical hypothyroidism control group (before: 17.33 ± 7.88 to after: 13.1 ±4.75%, p =0.03), but there were no significant differences in flow-mediated vasodilatation in the L-thyroxine treated group (before: 16.81 ± 7.0 to after: 18.52 ± 7.44%, p = 0.39). We did not find any significant change in mean carotid intimamedia thickness after 12 months of L-thyroxine treatment. CONCLUSION: Replacement therapy prevents a decline in flow-mediated vasodilatation with continuation of the subclinical hypothyroidism state. Large prospective multicenter placebo-controlled trials are necessaryto investigate endothelial physiology further in subclinical hypothyroidism patients and to define the role of L-thyroxine therapy in improving endothelial function in these patients

Development of microsatellite markers from an enriched genomic library for genetic analysis of melon (Cucumis melo L.)

BACKGROUND: Despite the great advances in genomic technology observed in several crop species, the availability of molecular tools such as microsatellite markers has been limited in melon (Cucumis melo L.) and cucurbit species. The development of microsatellite markers will have a major impact on genetic analysis and breeding of melon, especially on the generation of marker saturated genetic maps and implementation of marker assisted breeding programs. Genomic microsatellite enriched libraries can be an efficient alternative for marker development in such species. RESULTS: Seven hundred clones containing microsatellite sequences from a Tsp-AG/TC microsatellite enriched library were identified and one-hundred and forty-four primer pairs designed and synthesized. When 67 microsatellite markers were tested on a panel of melon and other cucurbit accessions, 65 revealed DNA polymorphisms among the melon accessions. For some cucurbit species, such as Cucumis sativus, up to 50% of the melon microsatellite markers could be readily used for DNA polymophism assessment, representing a significant reduction of marker development costs. A random sample of 25 microsatellite markers was extracted from the new microsatellite marker set and characterized on 40 accessions of melon, generating an allelic frequency database for the species. The average expected heterozygosity was 0.52, varying from 0.45 to 0.70, indicating that a small set of selected markers should be sufficient to solve questions regarding genotype identity and variety protection. Genetic distances based on microsatellite polymorphism were congruent with data obtained from RAPD marker analysis. Mapping analysis was initiated with 55 newly developed markers and most primers showed segregation according to Mendelian expectations. Linkage analysis detected linkage between 56% of the markers, distributed in nine linkage groups. CONCLUSIONS: Genomic library microsatellite enrichment is an efficient procedure for marker development in melon. One-hundred and forty-four new markers were developed from Tsp-AG/TC genomic library. This is the first reported attempt of successfully using enriched library for microsatellite marker development in the species. A sample of the microsatellite markers tested proved efficient for genetic analysis of melon, including genetic distance estimates and identity tests. Linkage analysis indicated that the markers developed are dispersed throughout the genome and should be very useful for genetic analysis of melon

Managerial franchise: a study of the characteristics in the relationship between franchisor and franchisee in Brazil

Atualmente, no Brasil, é bastante freqüente a opção pela franquia empresarial no mercado de consumo de bens e serviços e, para a continuidade de uma relação entre duas empresas no longo prazo, o controle do franqueador sobre as potenciais fontes de conflito parece ser fator relevante. Neste trabalho, têm-se como objetivos identificar as características da franquia empresarial no Brasil e analisar os aspectos relevantes do relacionamento estabelecido entre franqueadores e franqueados, determinando os pontos críticos da gestão do sistema de franquia e a relação do nível de satisfação do franqueado com o tempo de operação e o segmento de atuação. A pesquisa foi executada em duas etapas. Inicialmente, foram selecionadas e entrevistadas as empresas franqueadoras e, em seguida, as unidades fraqueadas, que foram convidadas a preencher um questionário de forma virtual. A amostra foi composta por 41 empresas franqueadoras em seis segmentos distintos e 270 unidades franqueadas. A partir da análise de dados, foram identificadas características do relacionamento das partes, especialmente aquelas associadas ao valor da marca, à gestão de marketing, à comunicação intra-rede e à satisfação com o investimento na franquia empresarial. Por fim, por meio da técnica multivariada de análise de correspondência, percebeu-se relativa associação entre o segmento de atuação do franqueado e o respectivo nível de satisfação, porém inexistência de associação entre esse e o tempo de operação do negócio.Actualmente, en Brasil, es bastante frecuente optar por la franquicia empresarial en el mercado de consumo de bienes y servicios y, para lograr la continuidad de una relación entre dos empresas en el largo plazo, el control del franquiciante sobre las potenciales fuentes de conflicto parece ser un factor relevante. En este trabajo se tienen como objetivos identificar las características de la franquicia empresarial en Brasil y analizar los aspectos relevantes de la relación establecida entre franquiciantes y franquiciados, y así determinar los puntos críticos en la gestión del sistema de franquicia y la relación del nivel de satisfacción del franquiciado con el tiempo de operación y el segmento de actuación. La investigación se llevó a cabo en dos etapas. En un primer momento, se seleccionaron las empresas franquiciantes, que fueron entrevistadas; posteriormente, se eligieron las unidades franquiciadas, a las cuales se dirigió un cuestionario online. La muestra se compuso de 41 empresas franquiciantes y de 270 unidades franquiciadas, en seis segmentos distintos. A partir del análisis de los datos, se identificaron características de la relación establecida entre las partes, especialmente aquellas relacionadas con el valor de la marca, la gestión de marketing, la comunicación intra-red y la satisfacción con la inversión en la franquicia empresarial. Finalmente, por medio de la técnica multivariada de análisis de correspondencia, se observó una relativa asociación entre el segmento de actuación del franquiciado y el correspondiente nivel de satisfacción, sin embargo no existe asociación entre el mismo y el tiempo de operación del negocio.Nowadays, in Brazil, franchising is an option frequently taken in the goods and services consumption market. A complex relationship is established between two different companies. The franchisor control over the potential sources of conflict within the franchise relationship seems to be a relevant factor for its continuity in the long term. Therefore, the objectives of the study are to identify characteristics of franchising in Brazil and to analyze relevant aspects of the franchisor-franchisee relationship, identifying critical factors in the management of the franchise system and the relationship among the level of satisfaction, the duration of operation and the industry. This research was divided in two parts. At first, the franchisors were selected and interviewed and, after that, the franchisees were chosen and asked to answer to an online questionnaire. In total, the sample included 41 franchisors and 270 franchisees of six different business segments. The data analyses revealed characteristics of the franchisor-franchisee relationship, especially those related to brand value, marketing management, communication inside the franchise system and satisfaction with franchising. After all, by the use of the multivariate technique of correspondence analysis, it was possible to verify the relative association between the kind of industry and the level of satisfaction of the franchisee, but the inexistence of any relation between this and the duration of the business operation

The Genus Caesalpinia L. (Caesalpiniaceae): Phytochemical and Pharmacological Characteristics

The genus Caesalpinia (Caesalpiniaceae) has more than 500 species, many of which have not yet been investigated for potential pharmacological activity. Several classes of chemical compounds, such as flavonoids, diterpenes, and steroids, have been isolated from various species of the genus Caesalpinia. It has been reported in the literature that these species exhibit a wide range of pharmacological properties, including antiulcer, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antirheumatic activities that have proven to be efficacious in ethnomedicinal practices. in this review we present chemical and pharmacological data from recent phytochemical studies on various plants of the genus Caesalpinia.Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais (FAPEMIG)Univ Fed Alfenas, Inst Chem, BR-37130000 Alfenas, MG, BrazilUniversidade Federal de São Paulo, Inst Environm Chem & Pharmaceut Sci, BR-09972 Diadema, SP, BrazilUniversidade Federal de São Paulo, Inst Environm Chem & Pharmaceut Sci, BR-09972 Diadema, SP, BrazilWeb of Scienc

Were policies in Brazil effective to reducing trans fat from industrial origin in foods?

OBJECTIVE: To determine the trans fatty acids content of processed foods frequently consumed by adults living in a Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after the enactment of a mandatory trans fatty acids labelling policy. METHODS: Between February 2014 and January 2015, a specifically dietary questionnaire was completed by 107 adults to assess the frequency of processed foods consumption. The most commonly consumed products from the survey, including vegetable oils, margarine, biscuits, snacks, cheese bread (pão de queijo), french fries, cheeseburger and ice cream, were then analyzed for their trans fatty acids content using gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector. RESULTS: Differences in the levels of trans fatty acids were observed among 22 products analyzed, considering that trans fatty acids content ranged between 0.0 g/100 g in samples of cream cracker biscuit 1 and olive oil to 0.83 g/100 g in samples of cheeseburger ( fast food), 0.51 g/100 g in samples of frozen pão de queijo and 12.92 g/100 g in samples of chocolate sandwich cookies with cream filling 2. The overall trans fatty acids content of the different samples of margarine brands was 0.20 g/100 g for brand 1 and 0.0 g/100 g for brand 2. These data are significantly lower than those observed in a survey conducted in 2003, when the regulation had been enacted. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that Brazilian regulation is very likely implicated in the observed drop in trans fatty acids of the most processed foods but has yet to eliminate them, which reinforces the urgent need to revise the legislation, since a minimum amount of trans fat does not mean that the food product does not contain this type of fat

A highly conductive nanostructured PEDOT polymer confined into the mesoporous MIL-100(Fe)

[EN] Despite the higher efficiency, larger color range and faster stimulus response of polymeric electrochromic materials, their poor cyclability strongly hampers their application in optoelectronics. As an original strategy to stabilize and further nanostructure these polymers, herein an efficient encapsulation and in situ polymerization inside highly porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is reported. In particular, the successful accommodation of poly(3,4-ethylendioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and its partially oxidized polarons inside the mesopores of the nontoxic iron trimesate MIL-100(Fe) is convincingly proved by a large panel of experimental techniques. Remarkably, the polymer-MOF interaction occurring for entrapped PEDOT within the pores (deeply assessed by experimental and simulation methods) might be responsible for the enhanced electrical conductivity of the resulting PEDOT@MIL-100(Fe) composite when compared to the insulating MIL-100(Fe) and the conductive free PEDOT. Furthermore, it was possible to observe the electrochromic properties of the PEDOT@MIL-100(Fe) composite, achieving an improved stability and good cyclability as a consequence of the effective protection by the MOF matrix.This work was supported by a 2017 Leonardo Grant for Researchers and Cultural Creators, BBVA Foundation (IN[17]_CBB_QUI_0197).
