The assessment of the state of the thyrotropin-thyroid system in the body of young pigs in the context of sexual dimorphism and different breeds in specific economic conditions is given. It was found that the concentration of TTG, T3 and T4 in the blood of pigs varies in the range of 0.83±0.18-1.07±0.10 mMU/l, 5.76±0.33-7.14±0.41 and 26.82±2.90-28.73±0.93 pmol/l, boars 0.02±0.01-0.03±0.01 mMU/l, 7.50±0.25-9.24±0.34 and 25.74±4.63-31.67±2.43 pmol/l. The concen-tration of TTG and thyroxine is statistically significantly correlated in pigs at the level of r(TTG-T4)= 0,56±0,16 - 0,89±0,05, hryachkov r(TTG-T4)= 0,76±0,23 - 0,83±0,25). In a pair of TTG – T3 signs, the correlation coefficients are equal in pigs r(TTG-T3)= 0,47±0,09 - 0,51±0,17, hryachkov r(TTG-T3)= 0,49±0,39 - 0,64±0,54. Regulation in the TTG-T4 hormone pair, regardless of gender and breed of animals, is carried out on the principle of positive feedback (the higher the level of TTG in the blood, the greater the concentration of thyroxine). Functional communication in the TTG-T3 pair in the body of pigs and boars within the physiological scale of TSH concentrations is supported by the principle of direct and feedback, as well as the principle of "active regulation of vegetative func-tions".

Body composition analysis is relevant to characterize the nutritional requirements and finishing phase of fish. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between ichthyometric (weight, total and standard length, density and yields), bromatological (fat, protein, ash and water content) and bioelectrical-impedance-analysis (BIA) (resistance, reactance, phase angle and composition indexes) variables in the hybrid tambatinga (Colossoma macropomum × Piaractus brachypomus). In a non-fertilized vivarium, 520 juveniles were housed and fed commercial rations. Then, 136 days after hatching (DAH), 15 fish with an average weight of 37.69 g and average total length of 12.96 cm were randomly chosen, anesthetized (eugenol) and subjected to the first of fourteen fortnightly assessments (BIA and biometry). After euthanasia, the following parts were weighed: whole carcass with the head, fillet, and skin (WC); fillet with skin (FS); and the remainder of the carcass with the head (CH). Together, FS and CH were ground and homogenized for the bromatological analyses. Estimates of the body composition and yields of tambatinga, with models including ichthyometric and BIA variables, showed correlation coefficients ranging from 0.81 (for the FS yield) to 1,00 (for the total ash). Similarly, models that included only BIA variables had correlation coefficients ranging from 0.81 (FS and CH yields) to 0.98 (for the total ash). Therefore, in tambatinga, the BIA technique allows the estimation of the yield of the fillet with skin and the body composition (water content, fat, ash, and protein). The best models combine ichthyometric and BIA variables.

Background: One of the risks associated with low physical activity levels is the insufficient development of motor proficiency, which in turn has an impact on participation in physical activity and sport during adolescence.Objectives: To determine the relationship between motor proficiency and physical activity levels in adolescent Senior Phase learners in Potchefstroom, South Africa. No literature exists on the relationship between motor proficiency and physical activity levels among South African adolescents.Method: A total of 239 13- to 14-year-old learners were assessed using the Bruininkse Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency 2 (BOT-2) for motor proficiency, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) for physical activity levels. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation coefficients and effect sizes.Results: Statistically and practically significant correlations were found between the total BOT-2 score and the physical activity levels of the total group, as well as the boys and the girls respectively. Fine motor coordination correlated with physical activity levels in the girls, while manipulation coordination correlated with the physical activity levels of the total group and the boys. The body coordination skill of jumping in place and the strength test items showed strong correlations with physical activity in all the groups.Conclusion: The motor skills of Senior Phase learners, especially coordination and strength skills, should be developed and maintained in the Physical Education curriculum to enhance physical activity levels.

The assessment of the state of platelet hemostasis in the body of cows of Auliekol and black-and-white breeds in the last trimester of pregnancy and the relationship of its indicators with the level of cortisol and progesterone is given. Laboratory tests were performed 60 and 1-3 days before the expected date of delivery. It was found that the breed of cows affected the level of platelet parameters. At the same time, their value in the blood of cows of the Auliekol breed exceeds the level of animals of the black - and - white breed by 3.15-31.89 %. The dynamics of changes in platelet parameters during the preparation of the mother's body for childbirth is of the same type and is characterized by a decrease in the total number of platelets by 11.74 and 24.14% and their volume fraction in the blood (thrombocrit) by 6.45 and 12.00 %, respectively. At the same time, the average platelet volume, the number of megalothrombocytes and the breadth of their distribution by volume increases by 6.83; 16.37 and 14.94 % (in the Auliekol breed) and 15.49; 16.01 and 17.19 % (in the black-and-white breed). These changes are associated with the level of the hormones cortisol and progesterone, the biological effects of which involve the regulation of platelet aggregation by controlling the level of young cells (megalothrombocytes) in the blood of cows. This is evidenced by statistically significant values of correlation coefficients in pairs of signs: cortisol-P-LGR r=0.72±0.24-0.88±0.17; progesterone-P – LGR r=-0.72±0.24 – -0.83±0.20.

The current clinical techniques for neuraxial needle placement in dogs are predominantly blind without prior knowledge of the depth required to reach the desired space. This study investigated the correlation and defined the relationship between easily obtainable external landmark variables in the dog; occipital–coccygeal length (OCL) and ilium wings distance (IWD), with the skin to epidural and intrathecal space distances using computed tomography (CT). The CT images of 86 dogs of different breeds were examined in this retrospective observational study. Images of dogs in sternal recumbency were optimized to the sagittal view. The distances between the skin and lumbosacral epidural space (LSE) and skin to sacrococcygeal space (SCE) were measured to the ligamentum flavum surrogate (LFS) line. The distance between the skin and the intrathecal space (ITS) was measured from the skin to the vertebral canal at the interlumbar (L5–L6) space. Measurements of the IWD and OCL were performed on dorsal and scout views, respectively. Linear regression equations and Pearson’s correlation coefficients were calculated between variables. Data were reported as mean (standard deviation). Significance was set as alpha < 0.05. After exclusion of four dogs, 82 CT scans were included. The depths were LSE 45 (15) mm, SCE 23 (10) mm, and ITS 50 (15) mm. There was a moderate correlation between OCL with LSE (=14.2 + OCL * 0.05 (r = 0.59, p < 0.0001)), and a strong correlation with ITS (=11.4 + OCL * 0.07 (r = 0.76, p < 0.0001)), while a very weak correlation was found with SCE (=14.0 + OCL * 0.02 (r = 0.27, p < 0.0584)). Similarly, with IWD, there was a moderate correlation with LSE (=10.8 + IWD * 0.56 (r = 0.61, p < 0.0001)), and strong correlation with ITS (=9.2 + IWD * 0.67 (r = 0.75, p < 0.0001)), while a weak correlation was found with SCE (=11.2 + IWD * 0.2 (r = 0.32, p < 0.0033)). Mathematical formulae derived from the multiple regression showed that the body condition score (BCS) improved the relationship between IWD and OCL and the LSE, SCE and ITS, while the addition of body weight was associated with multicollinearity. Further studies are required to determine the accuracy of the algorithms to demonstrate their ability for prediction in a clinical setting.

When a garment is given a certain amount of ease, the body shape characteristics and matching degree of air gap distribution determine the aesthetic fit of garment sculpt. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the aesthetic fit and air gap distribution of the bust and waist sections. Three factors, the ratio of the horizontal radius vector to the bust and waist sections ( HrvB, HrvW) and the location and proportion of darts ( DL, DP), have been considered in this analysis. Ten female participants with different Hrv (including HrvB and HrvW) were recruited and asked to wear 10 sample blouses with different DL and DP. Samples worn by participants are observed at different angles, and evaluated with scores by 30 experts. The air gap thickness (THA) between the garment and skin are measured by a TC2 scanner and Qualisys three-dimensional motion capture system. The results show that Hrv is the most important factor affecting the aesthetic fit, while DL and DP have significant influence on the formation of garment wrinkles. A round body shape has higher scores when wearing sample garments whose waist dart is close to the front and middle (samples L2, L3) and smaller back middle dart and front waist dart (samples P1, P2), while a flat body shape has higher scores in the opposite condition (sample L5, P5). In terms of air gap distribution, there is a significant positive correlation between HrvB and THA in the front area (132–180°). Here, HrvW was negatively correlated with THA in the back side area. The correlation coefficients are all above 0.6. The DL has a great influence on THA in the side area of the bust section and front side area of the waist section, while DP has a great influence on THA in the front and back areas of the bust section and the back side area of the waist section. In a comparative analysis, this paper proved that the smaller fluctuation of THA and the uniform ease distribution are more likely to present an aesthetic and fit dressing appearance. Although the relationship between THA and the three factors was not significant, the regularity of its distribution is accompanied by a significant change of dressing score.

Purpose The minimum masking level (MML) is the minimum intensity of a stimulus required to just totally mask the tinnitus. Treatments aimed at reducing the tinnitus itself should attempt to measure the magnitude of the tinnitus. The objective of this study was to evaluate the reliability of the MML. Method Sample consisted of 59 tinnitus patients who reported stable tinnitus. We obtained MML measures on two visits, separated by about 2–3 weeks. We used two noise types: speech-shaped noise and high-frequency emphasis noise. We also investigated the relationship between the MML and tinnitus loudness estimates and the Tinnitus Handicap Questionnaire (THQ). Results There were differences across the different noise types. The within-session standard deviation averaged across subjects varied between 1.3 and 1.8 dB. Across the two sessions, the Pearson correlation coefficients, range was r = .84. There was a weak relationship between the dB SL MML and loudness, and between the MML and the THQ. A moderate correlation ( r = .44) was found between the THQ and loudness estimates. Conclusions We conclude that the dB SL MML can be a reliable estimate of tinnitus magnitude, with expected standard deviations in trained subjects of about 1.5 dB. It appears that the dB SL MML and loudness estimates are not closely related.

The relationship between body height and body weight has been described by using various terms. Notable among them is the body mass index, body surface area, body shape index and body surface index. In clinical setting the first descriptive parameter is the BMI scale, which provides information about whether an individual body weight is proportionate to the body height. Since the development of BMI, two other body parameters have been developed in an attempt to determine the relationship between body height and weight. These are the body surface area (BSA) and body surface index (BSI). Generally, these body parameters are described as clinical health indicators that described how healthy an individual body response to the other internal organs. The aim of the study is to discuss the use of BSI as a better clinical health indicator for preclinical assessment of body-organ/tissue relationship. Hence organ health condition as against other body composition. In addition the study is `also to determine the best body parameter the best predict other parameters for clinical application. The model parameters are presented as; modeled height and weight; modelled BSI and BSA, BSI and BMI and modeled BSA and BMI. The models are presented as clinical application software for comfortable working process and designed as GUI and CAD for use in clinical application.

Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) which provides a comprehensive picture of the economic conditions of a region is indicator for analyzing economic region development. Another indicator that is no less important is inflation as an indicator to see the level of changes in price increases due to an increase in the money supply that causes rising prices. The success of development must also look at the income inequality of its population which is illustrated by this ratio. One of the main regional development goals is to improve the welfare of its people, where to see the level of community welfare, among others, can be seen from the level of unemployment in an area. To that end, in order to get an overview of the effects of GRDP, inflation and the ratio of gini to unemployment in DKI Jakarta for the last ten years (2007-2016), an analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression methods. As a result, together the relationship between GRDP, inflation and the Gini ratio is categorized as "very strong" with a score of 0.936, and has a significant influence on unemployment. Partially, the GRDP gives a significant influence, but inflation and gini ratio do not have a significant influence. GDP, inflation and the Gini ratio together for the last ten years have contributed 81.4% to unemployment in DKI Jakarta, while the remaining 18.6% is influenced by other variables not included in this research model, so for reduce unemployment in DKI Jakarta, programs that are oriented to economic growth, suppressing inflation and decreasing this ratio need to be carried out simultaneously. Keywords: GRDP, inflation, unemployment, DKI Jakarta, GINI ratio

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is an effective technique in managing risk within an organization strategically and holistically. Risk culture relates to the general awareness, attitudes and behaviours towards risk management in an organisation. This paper presents a conceptual model that shows the relationship between risk culture and ERM implementation. The dependent variable is ERM implementation, which is measured by the four processes namely risk identification and risk assessment; risk treatment; monitor and consult; communicate and consult. The independent variables under risk culture are risk policy and risk appetite; key risk indicators; accountability; incentives; risk language and internal relationships. This study aims to empirically test the relationship between risk culture and ERM implementation among Malaysian construction public listed companies. Risk culture is expected to have direct effects and significantly influence ERM. This study contributes to enhance the body of knowledge in ERM especially in understanding significant of risk culture that influence its’ implementation from Malaysian perspective.
