In addition to the influence of genes, the quality of poultry products is mainly controlled by the rearing environment or feed composition during rearing, and has to meet human use and economical needs. As the only source of energy for poultry, feed considerably affects the metabolic pattern of poultry and further affects the regulation of appetite-related endocrine secretion in poultry. Under normal circumstances, the accumulation of lipid in adipose reduces feed intake in poultry and increases the rate of adipose metabolism. When the adipose content in cells decreases, endocrines that promote food intake are secreted and increase nutrient concentrations in serum and cells. By regulating the balance between appetite and adipose metabolism, the poultry’s growth and posture can maintain a balanced state. In addition, increasing fiber composition in feed can effectively increase poultry welfare, body weight, lean composition and antioxidant levels in poultry. According to this, the concept that proper fiber content should be added to feed should be considered for better economic benefits, poultry welfare and meat productivity.

As áreas verdes são descritas como ambientes em que há o predomínio de vegetação arbórea, englobando as praças, os jardins públicos e osparques urbanos, que são espaços livres públicos, cuja fundamental utilidade é o lazer e a aproximação do meio ecológico com o meio urbano. Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal compreender a relação da qualidade de vida com as áreas verdes urbanas, trazendo aporte teórico, bem como conhecer processos do planejamento de arborização urbana, para que se frisem os benefícios da mesma para a população. Para efetivar os resultados foi escolhido o procedimento de revisão bibliográfica, com criteriosas escolhas, para se obter um estudo embasado no que tange a teoria e a prática. Percebeu-se que a partir da discussão dos textos expostos se pode afirmar que existe uma real necessidade de que os municípios tenham em seus projetos de desenvolvimento a implantação arbórea técnica, responsável e pensada, em favor da população residente. Aumentando seus benefícios socioambientais, até mesmo os econômicos. Com isso, deve-se conhecer os vegetais implantados para que estes não tenham conflitos com equipamentos urbanos. Deve-se atentar em implantar árvores que não tenham frutos grandes e prejudiquem a limpeza do ambiente e quem utiliza o espaço, que sejam, também, espécies nativas, menos propensas a não adaptação do local. Existem muitos trabalhos conceituais que fomentam a discussão a respeito do tema, bem como pesquisas atuais, demonstrando que existe uma preocupação crescente relacionada ao planejamento urbano das áreas verdes, porém é preciso mais debates a respeito para que exista a conscientização das entidades responsáveis e beneficiando os residentes e o meio ambiente.Palavras-chave: Planejamento Urbano. Benefícios Socioambientais. Meio Ambiente.AbstractGreen areas are described as environments where there is a predominance of arboreal vegetation, encompassing squares, public gardens and urban parks; they are public spaces whose fundamental utility is the leisure and approach of the ecological environment with theurban environment. The main objective of this work is to understand the relationship between quality of life and urban green areas, bringingtheoretical contribution, as well as knowing the processes of urban afforestation planning, so that the benefits of the same for the population are highlighted. In order to achieve the results, the bibliographic review procedure was chosen, with careful choices, to obtain a study based on theory and practice. It was noticed that from the discussion of the texts presented here, it can be affirmed that there is a real need for the municipalities to have in their development projects the technical and responsible tree plantation in favor of the resident population, and thus increasing their socio-environmental, even economic, benefits. With this, it is necessary to know the implanted vegetables so that they do not have conflicts with urban equipment. Attention should be paid to the implantation of trees that do not have large fruits and that harm the cleanliness of the environment and those who use the space, who are also native species, less prone to non-adaptation of the site. There are many conceptual works that foment the discussion about the theme, as well as, current research, demonstrating that there is a growing concern related to the urban planning of green areas, however, there is a need for more debates about this so that there is awareness of the responsible entities and benefiting residents and the environment.Keywords: Urban Planning.

One of the important things in determining the quality of livestock products is feed ingredients. The quality of Poultry products will be influenced by the nutrient intake provided. Tomato reject is one of the special ingredients of a feed because it contains high lycopene. Lycopene is well known as an antioxidant, also it can lower cholesterol content. However, lycopene still in the matrix of tomato tissue and trans-form lycopene what difficult to digest and absorb in the body. So, in this paper presents the extent to which the development of research utilization of tomatoes high lycopene as poultry feed. As well as opening more widely how to increase the value of lycopene tomatoes in poultry products.

Remanufacturing has recently received significant interest due to its environmental and economic benefits. Traditionally, the reassembly processes in remanufacturing systems are managed using a product-oriented model. When a product is returned and disassembled, the used components may be processed incorrectly, and the quality of the remanufactured products may not meet customer needs. To solve these problems, a component-oriented reassembly model is proposed. In this model, returned components are inspected and assigned scores according to their quality/function and categorized in a reassembly inventory. Based on the reassembly inventory, components are paired under the control of a reassembly strategy, and these pairs are then assembled into reassembly chains. Each chain represents a product. To evaluate the performance of different reassembly strategies under uncertain conditions, we describe the reassembly problem using an agent-environment system. The platform is modeled as a Markov decision process (MDP), and a reassembly score iteration algorithm (RSIA) is developed to identify the optimal reassembly strategy. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated via a case study using the reassembly process of diesel engines. The results of the case study show that the component-oriented reassembly model can improve the performance of the reassembly system by 40%. A sensitivity analysis is carried out to evaluate the relationship between the parameters and the performance of the reassembly system. The component-oriented model can reassemble products to meet a larger variety of customer needs, while simultaneously producing better remanufactured products.

Abstract. Recently, Garfinkel and Critchley (2013) proposed to distinguish between three facets of interoception: interoceptive sensibility, interoceptive accuracy, and interoceptive awareness. This pilot study investigated how these facets interrelate to each other and whether interoceptive awareness is related to the metacognitive awareness of memory performance. A sample of 24 healthy students completed a heartbeat perception task (HPT) and a memory task. Judgments of confidence were requested for each task. Participants filled in questionnaires assessing interoceptive sensibility, depression, anxiety, and socio-demographic characteristics. The three facets of interoception were found to be uncorrelated and interoceptive awareness was not related to metacognitive awareness of memory performance. Whereas memory performance was significantly related to metamemory awareness, interoceptive accuracy (HPT) and interoceptive awareness were not correlated. Results suggest that future research on interoception should assess all facets of interoception in order to capture the multifaceted quality of the construct.

The scientific problem of economics “Managing the quality of human life” is formulated on the basis of artificial intelligence, algebra of logic and logical-probabilistic calculus. Managing the quality of human life is represented by managing the processes of his treatment, training and decision making. Events in these processes and the corresponding logical variables relate to the behavior of a person, other persons and infrastructure. The processes of the quality of human life are modeled, analyzed and managed with the participation of the person himself. Scenarios and structural, logical and probabilistic models of managing the quality of human life are given. Special software for quality management is described. The relationship of human quality of life and the digital economy is examined. We consider the role of public opinion in the management of the “bottom” based on the synthesis of many studies on the management of the economics and the state. The bottom management is also feedback from the top management.
