scholarly journals Research in Animal Physiology: Proceedings of scientific papers

Proceedings of scientific papers ranges across a breadth of research in animal physiology. The main chapters of this publication are “Animal Physiology - Health Status Observations; Biologically Active Compounds in Animal Physiology; Animal Toxicology”. Animal physiology is the scientific study of the life-supporting properties, functions and processes of animals or their parts. It focuses on how organisms, organ systems, organs, cells, and bio-molecules carry out the chemical or physical functions that exist in a living system. Therefore, the proper studying of animal physiology is crucial for understanding and evaluating underlying biological processes, behavioral states and animal response to different biological, social and environmental stimuli. As such, the principal aim of this proceedings of scientific papers was to gather original papers on research in the fields of animal physiology, animal nutrition, reproduction and toxicopathology. We hope the publication will serve as a forum for presenting contemporary knowledge on basic and applied research, thus making new findings, methods, and techniques easily accessible and applicable in practice.

The author reveals the main aspects of the scientific and information activities of the V.O. Sukhomlynskyi State Scientific and Pedagogical Library of Ukraine, in particular, pays attention to the development of a structural unit that carries out scientific information and analytical activities to support the education of Ukraine. The article provides an analysis of recent studies and publications on informatization and technological education, presents scientists who have made a significant contribution to the development of this area. According to the purpose of the article, the scientific community is presented for familiarization with information and analytical resources of the V.O. Sukhomlynskyi State Scientific and Pedagogical Library of Ukraine and revealed the main aspects of information and analytical activities of the V.O. Sukhomlynskyi State Scientific and Pedagogical Library of Ukraine. Information and analytical resources are characterized by such basic components as – Scientific papers of the V.O. Sukhomlynskyi State Scientific and Pedagogical Library of Ukraine; Analytical Bulletin in the field of education and science ;. Analytical reviews of the V.O. Sukhomlynskyi State Scientific and Pedagogical Library of Ukraine; Reviews of the results of scientific activities of institutions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and others. The author emphasizes the relevance of the creation and functioning in the V.O. Sukhomlynskyi State Scientific and Pedagogical Library of Ukraine Department of Scientific Information and Analytical Support of Education (DSIASE). It is noted that DSIASE was created to provide basic and applied research in the vector of planned research work of the library. It is argued that in the V.O. Sukhomlynskyi State Scientific and Pedagogical Library of Ukraine there is an organizational and production system for the implementation of information and analytical support of education, which provides the scope of scientific activities of the institution. In the perspective of information and analytical activities of the library, the author notes the research search for innovative sources and support for education on the effective modernization and reform of education in Ukraine.

Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is direct, intentional harm to one’s own body performed without the intent to die. NSSI has a marked developmental onset reaching peak prevalence in adolescence. NSSI is present in the context of multiple psychological disorders and stands alone as a separate phenomenon. Research has accumulated over the past several decades regarding the course of NSSI. While great advances have been made, there remains a distinct need for basic and applied research in the area of NSSI. This chapter reviews prevalence rates, correlates and risk factors, and leading theories of NSSI. Further, it reviews assessment techniques and provides recommendations. Then, it presents the latest evidence-based treatment recommendations and provides a case example. Finally, cutting edge research and the next frontier of research in this area are outlined.

AbstractThe forward genetic screen is a powerful, unbiased method to gain insights into biological processes, yet this approach has infrequently been used in vivo in mammals because of high resource demands. Here, we use in vivo somatic Cas9 mutagenesis to perform an in vivo forward genetic screen in mice to identify regulators of cardiomyocyte (CM) maturation, the coordinated changes in phenotype and gene expression that occur in neonatal CMs. We discover and validate a number of transcriptional regulators of this process. Among these are RNF20 and RNF40, which form a complex that monoubiquitinates H2B on lysine 120. Mechanistic studies indicate that this epigenetic mark controls dynamic changes in gene expression required for CM maturation. These insights into CM maturation will inform efforts in cardiac regenerative medicine. More broadly, our approach will enable unbiased forward genetics across mammalian organ systems.

Because of the rapid development of nanotechnologies, materials, in particular, solid dispersions (SDs), which are actively introduced into the life of modern man, have been obtained. Special progress in this area is observed in industry and medicine. The use of SDs in agriculture is lagging far behind, despite the growing number of scientific papers on this topic. At the same time, the prospects for the introduction of SDs in the agro-industrial complex are obvious. The review presents the results of research on the development of innovative preparations based on SD to protect plants from diseases and pests of cultivated plants, as well as parasiticides to protect animal health based on modern achievements of nanotechnology. One of these technologies is the methods of mechanochemistry, which improve the properties of poorly soluble biologically active substances by their joint mechanical treatment with water-soluble polymers and auxiliary substances.

Roots and shoots are distantly located but functionally interdependent. The growth and development of these two organ systems compete for energy and nutrient resource, and yet, they keep a dynamic balance with each other for growth and development. The success of such a relationship depends on efficient root-shoot communication. Aside from the well-known signalling processes mediated by hormones such as auxin and cytokinin, sugars have recently been shown to act as a rapid signal to co-ordinate root and shoot development in response to endogenous and exogenous clues, in parallel to their function as carbon and energy resources for biomass production. New findings from studies on vascular fluids have provided molecular insights into the role of sugars in long-distance communications between shoot and root. In this review, we discussed phloem- and xylem- translocation of sugars and the impacts of sugar allocation and signalling on balancing root–shoot development. Also, we have taken the shoot–root carbon–nitrogen allocation as an example to illustrate the communication between the two organs through multi-layer root–shoot–root signalling circuits, comprising sugar, nitrogen, cytokinin, auxin and vascular small peptide signals.
