Research into the determination of intestinal parasitic levels in free-living animals can provide knowledge enabling action to be taken to improve their health status. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the carcass weight of wild boars and the degree of endoparasite infection. The research was performed on 165 culled wild boars, from which a representative group (n = 50) was separated and divided according to sex (males n = 24, females n = 26) and age (2-3 years). Separate weight groups were defined for males (< 70 kg, n = 6; 70-80 kg, n = 9; > 80 kg, n = 9) and females (< 45 kg, n = 10; 45-60 kg, n = 10; > 60 kg, n = 6). Oesophagostomum spp., Ascaris suum, Trichuris suis, Eimeria spp. and Strongyloides ransomi were observed and defined in the study population. A statistically significant effect of the overall infection on carcass weight was obtained (F = 9.96; P ≤ 0.01). In the case of overall infection, a more than 7 kg lower carcass weight was observed in infected males. A carcass weight over 15 kg lower was noted for overall infection of females (F = 38.47; P ≤ 0.01), for which average EPG was 2946.67 ± 6485.31 with a median of 400 (50-25 300). Correlations were proven between sex and the average number of Eimeria spp. oocysts, and carcass weight for males (r = –0.84, P ≤ 0.05). In the case of females, correlations were noted between carcass weight and infection by nematodes (r = –0.63, P ≤ 0.05). Studies have shown that there is a need to monitor the environment in order to improve the condition of free-living animals.

ABSTRACT The allometric relationship between bodyweight (BW) and heart rate (HR) has been described as inversely proportional in domestic species, but that has been refuted. The relationship between HR and electrocardiographic variables is described in literature. However, studies about the variation and influence of factors on the hemodynamic and electrocardiographic parameters in dogs are not abundant. As the metabolic rate is defined as the production and dissipation of heat by the body surface area (BSA) in m², it is essential to define that relationship. A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the correlation between HR, ECG parameters and BW in dogs. One thousand electrocardiographic tracings were analyzed in addition to the ECG parameters and clinical data such as gender, age and bodyweight. The determination of BSA was performed as follows: BSA (m2) = (10.1 x bodyweight 0.67) X 10-4. When the unified groups were analyzed, there was a negative but weak correlation (r= -0.14, P< 0.0001) between bodyweight and HR. There were differences between weight groups regarding electrocardiographic variables. There is no allometric relationship between BW and HR in dogs. Weight was associated with changes in ECG variables.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Asthma is a life-long, chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. Its effects on quality of life in children can be exacerbated. The goal of this study was to investigate the link between asthma, family structure and demographics and how it impacts quality of life in children. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We analyzed data from a cross sectional study of the 2016-2017 National Survey of Children’s Health, NSCH, to assess the relationship between determinants of health variables and the outcome variable of parent’s report of child’s perceived health status (quality of life). The study population was children under the age of 18. Data were analyzed using descriptive, bivariate analysis using Chi square, and multiple logistic regression of quality of life and family structure adjusting for confounding variables. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The study included 5,687 children. Significant predictors of asthmatic children’s quality of life were severity of asthma, self-perceived mental/physical health status of adults, neighborhood safety for children (p <0.05). The interaction between family structure and asthma severity was significant indicating that asthma severity was an effect modifier. Among children with mild asthma, predictors of quality of life were self-perceived mental/physical health status of adults in the household, neighborhood safety of children, physical activity status of children (p<0.05). Among children with severe asthma, predictors were family structure and physical/mental health of adults (p<0.05). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: This study suggests children with severe asthma who are born to single mothers with lower parental reporting of physical/mental health status had a lower quality of life. A longitudinal study could be implemented to target these three measures to improve quality of life among these children. Also, a culturally adapted intervention involving community, parents, and providers is needed to improve the quality of life of the children with asthma.

<p>Taxes are the largest source of state revenue that has many roles. Until 2017 taxes can contribute 85.6% of state revenues. The level of taxpayer compliance in Indonesia is quite alarming and continues to decline, in 2011 taxpayer compliance could reach 97.2%, but in 2014 it fell to 91.6%, and again in 2015 only 82%. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the implementation of the efilling system on taxpayer compliance and to know the relationship between the application of e-filling systems and taxpayer compliance which was moderated by internet understanding. The initial step as the main basis of research is by collecting data. Primary data obtained from the distribution of questionnaires. All taxpayers registered with the Tax Office as the study population. Determination of the sample was obtained by the Slovin formula so that 100 respondents were obtained. The analysis method uses simple linear regression and the Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) method. The results obtained are that the application of e-filling system has a significant effect on taxpayer compliance and internet understanding is able to moderate the relationship between the application of e-filling systems to taxpayer compliance.</p><p><em><br /></em></p>

SummaryWhen the International Normalised Ratio (INR) is used for control of oral anticoagulant therapy the same result should be obtained irrespective of the laboratory reagent used. However, in the UK National External Quality Assessment Scheme (NEQAS) for Blood Coagulation INRs determined using different reagents have been significantly different.For 18 NEQAS samples Manchester Reagent (MR) was associated with significantly lower INRs than those obtained using Diagen Activated (DA, p = 0.0004) or Instrumentation Laboratory PT-Fib HS (IL, p = 0.0001). Mean INRs for this group were 3.15, 3.61, and 3.65 for MR, DA, and IL respectively. For 61 fresh samples from warfarin-ised patients with INRs of greater than 3.0 the relationship between thromboplastins in respect of INR was similar to that observed for NEQAS data. Thus INRs obtained with MR were significantly lower than with DA or IL (p <0.0001). Mean INRs for this group were 4.01, 4.40, and 4.59 for MR, DA, and IL respectively.We conclude that the differences between INRs measured with the thromboplastins studied here are sufficiently great to influence patient management through warfarin dosage schedules, particularly in the upper therapeutic range of INR. There is clearly a need to address the issues responsible for the observed discrepancies.

Vertical axis wind turbine technology has been applied last years, very long after horizontal axis wind turbine technology. Aerodynamic problems of vertical axis wind machines are discussible. An important problem is the determination of the incidence law in the interaction between wind and rotor blades. The focus of the work is to establish equations of the incidence depending on the blade azimuth, and to solve them. From these results, aerodynamic torques and power can be calculated. The incidence angle is a parameter of velocity triangle, and both the factors depend not only on the blade azimuth but also on the ratio of rotational speed and horizontal speed. The built computational program allows theoretically selecting the relationship of geometric parameters of wind turbine in accordance with requirements on power, wind speed and installation conditions.

Abstract This four-part series of papers addresses the problem of systematic determination of the influence of several tire factors on tire treadwear. Both the main effect of each factor and some of their interactive effects are included. The program was also structured to evaluate the influence of some external-to-tire conditions on the relationship of tire factors to treadwear. Part I describes the experimental design used to evaluate the effects on treadwear of generic tire type, aspect ratio, tread pattern (groove or void level), type of pattern (straight rib or block), and tread compound. Construction procedures and precautions used to obtain a valid and functional test method are included. Two guiding principles to be used in the data analyses of Parts II and III are discussed. These are the fractional groove and void concept, to characterize tread pattern geometry, and a demonstration of the equivalence of wear rate for identical compounds on whole tread or multi-section tread tires.
