Low Calcium Rickets in Young Cats

Due to the low calcium content of meat and meat by-products, nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism and/or low calcium rickets can be a severe problem in domestic carnivores maintained on diets which are not balanced in calcium:phosporous ratio. This type of diet results in poor mineralization of bones in young animals or excess bone resorption in older animals maintained on an improperly balanced diet

Moving Beyond Obfuscating Racial Microaggression Discourse

In this article, we argue that the concept of racial microaggression is a white supremacy construct that is an ideological and discursive anti‐Black practice. We discuss how microaggressions’ reduction of historical and hegemonic white supremacy to everyday relations that are merely performative, not integral to sustaining such larger forces, is an analytical shortcoming. We contend that without the adequate heft of historical white supremacy as a part of capitalist and colonial expansion, genocide, and Indigenous erasure, microaggression scholars will remain enthralled with the idea that individual behavior changes can eradicate anti‐Black violence

Diseño de una política de seguridad de la información para la Dirección de Tecnologías de la Información de la Universidad Técnica de Cotopaxi, basado en la Norma ISO 2700.

The information systems evolution requires the emergence of professionals in IT area responsible to evaluate their correct operation, detecting those weak points that require preventive and corrective measures to avoid loss of information that could cause significant costs to organizations. At present, institutions are exposed not only to material theft or assaults on their facilities, but also to computer security crimes that can affect the organization of data and relevant information. The purpose of this research project is to design an information security policy for the University, which needs to have security and provide sufficient support to protect the information of the institution. The design of computer security policies will allow to minimize risks and threats that may compromise the correct use of computer resources such as information, processes, systems and networks. For this, ISO / IEC 27000 Standard was used, which seeks information, confidentiality, integrity and availability.La evolución de los sistemas de información hace necesaria el surgimiento de profesionales en el área informática responsable de evaluar su correcto funcionamiento, detectar aquellos puntos débiles que requieran de medidas preventivas y correctivas para evitar pérdidas de información que podrían causar costes importantes a las organizaciones. En la actualidad, las instituciones están expuestas no solo a robo de material o asaltos en sus instalaciones, sino a delitos de seguridad informática que pueden afectar los datos e información relevante de la organización. El presente proyecto de investigación tiene como propósito diseñar una política de seguridad de la información para la Universidad, la cual necesita contar con seguridad y que brinden el suficiente respaldo para proteger la información de la institución. El diseño de políticas de seguridad informática permitirá minimizar riesgos y amenazas, que puedan comprometer el correcto uso de los recursos informáticos como la información, procesos, sistemas y redes. Para esto se utilizó la Norma ISO/IEC 27000 la cual busca la confidencialidad, integridad y disponibilidad de la Información

Student Satisfaction with Hostel Facilities: A Case Study of Njala University, Njala Campus, Sierra Leone

Aim and Scope: The importance of students' social environments intheir day-to-day lives cannot be overstated. The extent to which students arehappy in their hostel depends on its facilities' availability, adequacy, andfunctionality. A case study of Njala University, Njala campus, was used todetermine the amenities provided and the level of satisfaction the students derived from those amenities. Methods: A cross-sectional research designwas used to conduct the research through a close-ended questionnaire. Thestudy's sample size was 482 students. SPSS version 26.0 was used for the dataanalysis. Result: Most (82.0%) of the respondents were within the age group20-29 years, and more than two-thirds (70.7%) were living in overcrowdedrooms with double the number than the room was designed for.; this isattributed to the common phenomenon of students who get a place sub-lettingto their less fortunate colleagues on a cost-sharing basis. Overcrowding hasimplications of increasing pressure on the available facilities. Students werereasonably satisfied with hostel facilities such as recreational grounds, securitystatus, Library/ICT, waste management, and electricity, but very dissatisfiedwith the drainage system, state of mattresses, toilet facilities, water supply,kitchen, room size, laundry, and lack of firefighting devices. Conclusion :Students are dissatisfied with current facilities as enrollment continues to risefaster than Government intervention the paper suggests that a public-privatepartnership be established to fund the construction of other hostels withupdated designs and amenities

Aim and Scope: The importance of students' social environments in their day-to-day lives cannot be overstated. The extent to which students are happy in their hostel depends on its facilities' availability, adequacy, and functionality. A case study of Njala University, Njala campus, was used to determine the amenities provided and the level of satisfaction the students derived from those amenities. Methods: A cross-sectional research design was used to conduct the research through in-field observations and a standardized questionnaire. The study's sample size was estimated at 482 total students. SPSS version 26.0 was used for the data analysis. Result: The study revealed that 82.0% of the respondents were within the age group 20-29 years, and more than two-thirds (70.7%) of the respondents were living in overcrowded rooms with a population of more than the required number of persons per room; this is attributed to the squatting phenomenon among the hostel occupants with the attendant implications of increasing pressure on the available facilities. Equally, students were reasonably satisfied with hostel facilities such as recreational grounds, security status, Library/ICT, waste management and electricity. Results showed respondents were unhappy with the adequacy and performance of certain facilities such as the drainage system, foam, toilet, water supply, kitchen, room size, laundry, and firefighting device. Conclusion: For student convenience, as enrollment continues to rise, the paper suggests that public-private partnerships be established to fund the construction of other hostels with updated designs and amenities
