Weaning Piglets

The policies of welfare on animal production have been expanded to improve the animal needsand match the demands of the consumer market. Castration represents a questionable welfarefactor related to pig production. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of theuse of local anesthesia before castration on productive performance in pre-weaning piglets,assessed by weight gain. Animals were divided into two treatments: 1) castration without localanesthesia (SURG; n = 52) and 2) castration after intra-testicular local anesthesia (SURG+LA;n = 52) when animals were three to seven days old. Piglets were weighed before (W0) and atseven (W1) and 14 days (W2) after orchiectomy, when they were weaned. Statistical analysiswas performed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Student-NewmanKeuls multiple comparison test to investigate differences between groups. There were nodifferences in Weight (W2) and weight gain at weaning between SURG+LA animals comparedto SURG animals (3.57 ± 0.60 kg and 3.74 ± 0.71 kg, respectively; p = 0.17). According to theexperimental conditions of this study, local anesthesia before castration of piglets does notaffect weight gain at weaning, warranting further investigation following the effect of localanesthesia prior to castration until the slaughtering phase.

Error Terms

The Rorschach inkblots were rated for their similarity to 40 concepts by 111 female and 116 male students. A 5-point scale was used to compare the inkblots with eight concepts in each of five categories: psychoanalytic affective-symbolic connotations, an alternate set of affective-symbolic connotations, “popular” Rorschach responses, affectively toned concepts, and randomly selected nouns. A one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance for each inkblot provided the error terms for Dunn's multiple-comparison test. Although results varied considerably from inkblot to inkblot, the cards were rated over-all more similar to the derived concepts than to their traditionally assumed connotations. These findings and the results of other studies suggest that reliance on any set of hypothesized a priori meanings in Rorschach interpretation may be hazardous or, at best, premature.

Plasma Leptin

Abstract Background Leptin is an adipose tissue-derived cytokine that plays a role in energy regulation and immune functions. High leptin levels and obesity have been associated with decreased risk of developing active TB. We aimed to characterize the association between body mass index (BMI) and leptin levels in patients at different stages of tuberculosis (TB). Methods Data from a cross-sectional cardiovascular risk study of 40 to 70 years old individuals enrolled in Lima, Peru, and Cincinnati, US, were analyzed. Four categories based on TB and treatment status were defined: no TB infection (QuantiFERON-TB test negative; n= 31), latent TB infection (LTBI; QuantiFERON-TB test positive; n= 43), active TB on treatment (in the continuation TB treatment phase; n= 30), and post-TB (within one year of TB treatment completion; n=16). BMI and plasma leptin levels were compared among the four groups using the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison test if differences were found in the Kruskal-Wallis test. Multivariate ordered logistic regression models were used to assess factors associated with leptin levels, adjusted for potential confounders. Results The median age was 53 years, and 51% were female. BMI was different between study groups (p< 0.01), with LTBI individuals having the highest BMI compared to other groups; see Figure 1A. Leptin levels were marginally low in the group with active TB on treatment, but no significant differences were found between groups (p=0.44; see Figure 1B). In multivariate analysis, leptin was associated with female sex (OR 23, 95%CI, 9-58), BMI (OR, 1.5, 95%CI, 1.2-1.7), and coronary plaque ≥25% stenosis (OR, 0.29, 95%CI, 0.08-0.99). Body mass index (BMI) and plasma leptin levels in participants with negative QuantiFERON-TB test (QFN-), latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), active tuberculosis on treatment (ATBT), and post-TB treatment (TB-treated). Significance was determined using the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison test if the Kruskal- Wallis test p-value was <0.05. Conclusion LTBI individuals had a higher BMI compared to persons with active TB on treatment and post-TB. Higher leptin levels were associated with higher BMI, but we found no association between leptin and TB status in our cohort. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Stock Portfolio

This research aims to analyze and compare the performance of the Islamic stock portfolio represented by the JII index and ethical investment represented by the SRI-KE-HATI index by measuring the Risk Adjustment Return Index through the Sharpe index, Treynor index, and Jensen Index  differential return and appraisal ratio. The data analysis of this research consists of five parts, namely descriptive analysis, analysis of stock performance, with three methods, namely Sharpe, Treynor, and Jensen.differential return and appraisal ratio and Multiple Comparison Test. Based on the comparison of the performance of JII and SRI-KEHATI stocks in 2014-2019, it can be concluded that the overall method of Sharpe, Treynor and differential return shows a negative performance value, which means that the performance is not good, whereas when measured using the Jensen method and Appraisal Return shows positive performance value, which means good performance. When compared between the performance of JII and SRI-KEHATI shares, there is a difference between the performance of the JII and SRI-KEHATI Indices during the study period
