Selective Culling

AbstractBovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a frequent disease concern in dairy cattle and is most commonly diagnosed in young dairy heifers. The impact of BRD is highly variable, depending on the accuracy and completeness of detection, effectiveness of treatment, and on-farm culling practices. Consequences include decreased rate of weight gain, a higher culling risk either as heifers or as cows, delayed age at first service, delayed age at first calving, and in some cases, lower future milk production. In this data set of 104,100 dairy replacement heifers from across the USA, 36.6% had one or more cases diagnosed within the first 120 days of age with the highest risk of new cases occurring prior to weaning. Comparison of the raising cost for heifers with BRD and those without a recorded history of BRD resulted in an estimated cost per incident case occurring in the first 120 days of age of $252 or $282, depending upon whether anticipated future milk production differences were considered or not. Current market conditions contributed to a cost estimate that is significantly higher than previously published estimates, driven in part by the losses associated with selective culling of a subset of heifers that experienced BRD.

Social Psychological Perspective

Mental health is examined from a social-psychological perspective based on years of clinical experience in the USAand some Arab countries. Three hundred and fifty-two participated to examine the validity and the reliability of this new instrument. Eleven social-psychological variables, integrated with five central emotions, make up the FLAGS assessment, which proved to have strength and dependability.

Automatic Interaction Detector

The Automatic Interaction Detector (AID3) was used to develop a model based on the interaction of predictors of life satisfaction. The sample consisted of 871 people over fifty-five years of age. Thirty-one potential predictors were used representing demographics, environmental variables, and social psychological variables. The findings indicate that nine predictors explained 22.1 per cent of the variance in life satisfaction scores. The most important predictors of life satisfaction were family life satisfaction, personal health satisfaction, and satisfaction with dwelling. The interactions between the predictors indicated that a simple linear-monotonic relationship between the predictors was too restrictive.

Background: COVID‐19 has a significant impact on public health and poses a challenge to medical staff, especially to front‐line medical staff who are exposed to and in direct contact with patients. Medical staff were under enormous physical and psychological pressure due to overwork, high risk of infection, and isolation during COVID-19. Methods: The aim of this study was to review the literature on health problems of medical staff and supporting program for them during COVID-19 pandemic disease. Literature searches were performed on the following databases: Pubmed, Sciencedirect, Scopus, Google Scholar, ProQuest, SID, Iranmedax and Magiran. The types of articles published during the outbreak that were relevant to the subject were searched. Results: A review of the literature showed that current research focuses on assessing several aspects of COVID-19-induced mental health in medical staff. Stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, depression, burnout, fatigue and physical problems are among the serious issues of the medical staff in the front line of the Corona fight. Various demographic variables such as gender, occupation, long working hours, history of mental illness and psychological variables such as poor social support, self-efficacy were important risk factors. Conclusion: Regular screening of medical staff involved in the treatment and diagnosis of patients with COVID-19 should be performed to assess physical and psychological problems using multidisciplinary psychiatric teams.

Blank Spot

Collecting as a social, psychological and even physiological phenomenon has not been devoted to much serious research. Those that exist focus on the phenomenology of collections. The phenomenon of collecting and collecting remains largely unexplored. The topic of “collectors-scientists” is, in general, a blank spot in the study of science and the social history of science. Nevertheless, there is quite legitimately a special concept - “research collection”. For example, the collection of collections for Goethe was one of the ways of his scientific work. As a result of this work, Goethe became an expert in the field of knowledge, the objects of which he collected. This kind of rapprochement between science and collecting seems to be an interdependent process. Not only collecting in the highest phase of its development is being melted into a scientific occupation, but also an occupation in science has all the features inherent in project collecting. The article makes an attempt to establish some ontological patterns inherent in this process, to outline the paths to the natural science study of the phenomenon of scientists-collectors.

Аннотация: Азыркы учурда Кыргызстанга келип, медициналык билим алууга кызыккан студенттердин көбүн Пакистан менен Индиялыктар түзөт. Тилдердин ар түрдүү тайпасына таандык болгон кыргыз тилин окуп-үйрөтүү бир топ кыйынчылыктарды жаратат. Урду тили тилдердин индия тобуна, ал эми кыргыз тили түрк тилдеринин тобуна кирет. Студенттерге кыргыз тилинин алфавитин үйрөтүүдө алар түшүнгөн араб тилинен алынып, бизде да колдонулуп жүргөн сөздөрдү мисалга келтирсек, кыргыз тилди кабыл алуусу жана биздин тилге болгон кызыгуусу артат. Аннотация: В настоящее время заметна тенденция увеличения количества иностранных студентов, которые хотят обучаться медицине в Кыргызстане. Это в основном жители Пакистана и Индии. Их обучение кыргызскому языку порождает определенные трудности, так как данные языки являются разносистемными (язык урду относится к индийской группе языков, кыргызский язык- к тюркской группе языков) индоевропейской семьи. В связи с этим, при изучении алфавита, мы предлагаем методику преподавания кыргызского языка в сравнении с родным языком студентов, находя в их языке схожие слова арабского происхождения. Annotation: Currently, there is a tendency to increase the number of foreign students who want to study medicine in Kyrgyzstan. These are mainly residents of Pakistan and India. Teaching the Kyrgyz language poses certain difficulties, as these languages are in different language groups (Urdu belongs to the Indian language group, Kyrgyz to the Turkic language group) of the Indo-European family. In this regard, when studying the alphabet, we offer teaching methods Kyrgyz language in comparison with the native language of students, finding in their language similar words of Arabic origin. Keywords: Alphabet, Urdu, Arabic, Farsi, dialect, methodology, language competence, comparative training, history of language, group of language.
