N’Dama Cattle

Data collected on 1438 male and 1492 female pure bred N'Dama calves calved between 1948 and 1961 at Fashola Stock farm were used to study the relationship between five N'Dama cattle linear measurements at pre and post Weaning ages. The measurements were Head to Shoulder (HDS); Shoulder to tail drop (STD); Height at withers (HTW); Heart girth (HGT) and Body length (BLT). All measurements had positive values which ranged from 0.2 - 91 except HTW and HDS which had a negative value (-02) in males at yearling age. There was a predominance of positive and highly significant relationship (P<0.01) between height measurement (HTW) and circumference measurement (HGT) which ranged from .04 - .76 with pre weaning measurements having higher values (.69 - .76) in both sexes. High and positive correlation values were also observed between length measurements (HDS, STD and BLT) which therefore shows that only one of such measurements is sufficient for length measurement Generally measurements taken at pre weaning had higher correlation values than those taken at post weaning.

A study was carried out to determine the relationship between linear body measurements and live weight in Landrace and Large White pigs reared under different management conditions in Zimbabwe. Data was collected for body length, heart girth, and live weight in 358 pigs reared under intensive commercial conditions. The stepwise multiple linear regression method was done to develop a model using a random selection of 202 records of pigs. The model showed that age, body length, and heart girth were useful predictors of live weight in these pigs with significantly high positive correlations observed. The model was internally validated using records of the remaining 156 pigs and there was a significantly high positive correlation between the actual and predicted weights. The model was then externally validated using 40 market age pigs reared under communal conditions and there was a significantly low positive correlation between the actual and predicted weights. The results of the study show that while linear measurements can be useful in predicting pig weights the appropriateness of the model is also influenced by the management of the pigs. Models can only be applicable to pigs reared under similar conditions of management.

The relationship between anthropometric parameters and the level of development of motor abilities of school students is a scientifically important and practically important topic. Using knowledge of physical development indicators it is possible to predict the success of the development of motor skills. These data can be used in the sports selection and building an effective system of physical education in secondary school. We measure the anthropometric parameters and test motor abilities of 160 school students of the city of Tambov at the age of 15. We conduct a correlation and regression analysis of the relationship of individual anthropometric characteristics (body length and weight, chest circumference and chest excursion) and motor abilities (speed, speed-strength, strength, coordination, general endurance and flexibility). As among boys, and among girls we reveal a direct distinctive and statistically significant correlation between body length and speed and coordinating abilities, as well as general endurance. Body weight of school students did not have a pronounced and statistically significant relationship with motor abilities. The circumference of the chest and excursion of the chest in young men had a pronounced, statistically significant relationship with the level of development of all the analyzed motor is capable of power. In girls the correlation was either not sufficiently, or had a different direction that indicates the absence interdependence. The obtained data allow to build a targeted strategy of development of motor abilities of adolescents on the lessons of physical culture at comprehensive school. The results of the study can be used by coaches in sports clubs for sports selection and sports orientation.

Objective from this research was to determine the relationship of udder morphometry which consists of the height of the front udder, the height of the rear udder and the circumference ofudder on milk production in the Bima District of West Nusa Tenggara. One of ways to choose a good lactational mare is to pay attention at the shape of the part external body which is udder. The sample had used 32 mares that were in lactation period. Milk production has been measured from the average milk production per day in the lactation period. Milking process in Bima District, West Nusa Tenggara has done in three to four times a day in the span of four to five hours per day. Body length had been measured from os thoracalis to os coxae, chest circumference had been measured from os vertebrae thoracalis to os thoracalis, posterior abdomen of pelvic to os pelvis and the last of os lumbar vetebrae. The research design in this study was survey on every wild mares rancher. Data that has been collected and processed using Multiple Regression with SPSS program version 23th. The result showed that there was a strong relationship between height of rear udder and udder circumference to milk production with back udder with height coefficient of 0.21 (P <0.05) and udder circumference was 0.11 (P <0.05) and equation in Y = 2.423 - 0.398LA + 0.793TAB. However, there is no significant relationship between the height of the front udder and milk production.

Anticoagulant Response

SummaryThe validity of a previously described technique for predicting warfarin requirements based on the anticoagulant response to a fixed loading dose was assessed prospectively in 57 patients. There was a close relationship between the predicted and initially observed daily warfarin dose required to maintain the patient within the therapeutic range for anticoagulation. The significant relationship between predicted and observed maintenance dose persisted at 4 and 12 weeks although it decreased with increasing time.The relationship between observed and predicted maintenance requirement of warfarin was not affected by the concomitant use of intermittent intravenous injections of heparin when 9 hr was allowed to elapse between the previous dose of heparin and the thrombotest estimation on which the prediction was based.It is concluded that the method is valuable in predicting an individual’s warfarin requirement, although it does not obviate the need for regular monitoring of anticoagulant control.

Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) has been widely studied across the boarders especially in the western countries. This workplace voluntary behaviour is associated with many predictors that may bring whether major, minor or negative influence towards the engagement of employees’ OCB. Basically, this study is focusing on motivation as the predictor or independent variable that influence employees’ engagement on the OCB (altruism, conscientiousness, courtesy, civic virtue and sportsmanship) behaviour. Herzberg’s motivator factor (achievement, advancement, recognition and growth) has been chosen as the independent variable. A total of 150 questionnaires were distributed conveniently to respondents. With 125 questionnaires returned, researcher was able to analyze the data based on the research questions and hypotheses developed. The findings showed moderate and weak, significant relationship between the variable excluding the relationship between independent variable and civic virtue and sportsmanship. Thus, Herzberg’s motivator factor was not a predictor to civic virtue and sportsmanship behaviour. However for the strongest predictor; achievement, growth and growth are strongly predicts the altruism, conscientiousness and courtesy behaviour respectively. However, with the absence of relationship between independent variable and civic virtue as well as sportsmanship, therefore the strongest predictor cannot be determined as the value recorded was below the criterion.

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between autofluorescence (AF) signal measured with ultra-wide field imaging and visual functions in patients with cone-rod dystrophy (CORD). A retrospective chart review was performed for CORD patients. We performed the visual field test and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) measurement and visualized retinal structures with optical coherence tomography (OCT) on the same day. Using binarised FAF images, we identified a low FAF area ratio (LFAR: low FAF/30°). Relationships between age and logMAR visual acuity (VA), central retinal thickness (CRT), central choroidal thickness (CCT), mean deviation (MD) value, and LFAR were investigated. Thirty-seven eyes of 21 CORD patients (8 men and 13 women) were enrolled. The mean patient age was 49.8 years. LogMAR VA and MD were 0.52 ± 0.47 and − 17.91 ± 10.59 dB, respectively. There was a significant relationship between logMAR VA and MD (p = 0.001). LogMAR VA significantly correlated with CRT (p = 0.006) but not with other parameters. Conversely, univariate analysis suggested a significant relationship between MD and LFAR (p = 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, LFAR was significantly associated with MD (p = 0.002). In conclusion, it is useful to measure the low FAF area in patients with CORD. The AF measurement reflects the visual field deterioration but not VA in CORD.
