Abstract:

A widespread problem in the housing of captive animals is the occurrence and development of abnormal behaviors. In the pig breeding industry the abnormal behaviors causing the biggest welfare problems are stereotypies such as tail-biting, ear-biting, equipment-biting and belly-nosing. In this study a rope and an activation ball were tested as curative treatments to reduce the performance of these stereotypies by inducing the underlying innate behaviors. A total of 141 pigs spread over 18 pens were used as test-subjects. They were divided into three groups which were introduced to one of the tw

Abstract:

A healthy and proper diet is essential to prevent the onset of various diseases, as with the diet we can also introduce harmful substances. Among others, the oxysterols are particularly relevant; they can be absorbed from the diet and are the oxidized products of cholesterol present in cholesterol-containing foodstuffs after cooking, processing and storage, such as meat, fish, dairy products and eggs. They can be also generated endogenously from either the spontaneous or enzymatic oxidation of cholesterol. Oxysterols have been shown to exert several in vitro and in vivo biochemical activitie

Джерела випромінювання мають місце в різних галузях виробництва: промисловості, сільському господарстві, медицині, атомній енергетиці. Ризик випромінювання виникає також при роботі на рентгенівських установках, з радіоактивними ізотопами, при дефектоскопії металів, контролі якості зварних з’єднань, під час роботи на комп’ютерах тощо. Випромінювання поділяється на: іонізуюче, ультрафіолетове, електромагнітне і лазерне. Іонізуючим є будь-який вид випромінювання, взаємодія якого із середовищем спричиняє виникнення електричних зарядів різних знаків.

Abstract:

An increase in marine mammal stranding and die-off events has been observed along the California coast. The exact cause to explain for these recent events is unknown, but El Niño and harmful algal blooms are established sources for temporary decreases in marine mammal health. To determine whether El Niño could be causing and amplifying harmful algal blooms, particularly in Monterey Bay where they occur frequently, data was analyzed from the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, California. Data analysis focused on California sea lions (Zalophus californianus), because they have the largest data s

Ils assurent de nombreuses fonctions biologiques et écologiques dont celle de nourricerie et de frayère pour les poissons. Ces écosystèmes sont pourtant soumis à de multiples facteurs de stress, à la fois naturels et anthropogéniques, qui peuvent représenter une menace potentielle envers les organismes aquatiques, en particulier pour les espèces commerciales de poissons. Dans ce contexte, les effets de facteurs de stress environnementaux tels que la contamination c

Abstract:

Darbe nagrinėjama alkoholio vartojimo problemų turinčių asmenų gyvenimo kokybės kitimas atsižvelgiant į tai, kokius gydimo metodus jie pasirenka šiai problemai spręsti. Didžiausias dėmesys skiriamas AA grupių įtakai gyvenimo kokybei ir jos kitimui. Ši problematika Lietuvoje mažai tyrinėta, tačiau dėl alkoholio vartojimo masto Lietuvoje ir pasaulyje yra pakankamai aktuali. Darbe buvo iškeltas tikslas ištirti AA grupių įtaką alkoholio vartojimo problemų turinčių asmenų gyvenimo kokybės kitimui. Darbo tikslui pasiekti analizuota alkoholio vartojimo problemų turinčių asmenų lankiusių ir nelankiusi

Abstract:

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are found worldwide, particularly in places where warm, well-lit, and stagnant waters are common. HABs can have negative effects on aquatic plants and wildlife due to the reduction in light availability associated with turbidity, decrease in O2 availability, and the production of secondary metabolites that can harm or even prove lethal. Aquatic ecosystems are regularly being affected by elevated salinity because of recent water management strategies, episodes of drought, and salt water intrusion. This research focused on how salinity levels ranging from 0-10ppt affe

Abstract:

yes<br>New non-lethal technologies (weapons and delivery systems) continue to make the news, both for their civil and military applications. Technologies which were considered to be in the realm of science fiction a few years ago, are now beginning to undergo field trials or, in some cases, are being deployed with police and soldiers on active service. As this, and our previous reports have highlighted, the development of acoustic weapons (Long Range Acoustic Device) and microwave weapons (Active Denial System) have proceeded rapidly as have advances in robotic, unmanned vehicles for the deliv

Abstract:

L'innovation engendre la croissance économique et permet d'accroître le niveau de vie des populations. Cette proposition de Joseph Alois Schumpeter (1912) a été plutôt confortée que contestée par les faits empiriques. De nombreux travaux ont en effet montré que le lien entre innovation, croissance et niveau de vie existe. Ainsi, il existe un assez large consensus sur l'idée qu'encourager l'innovation devrait constituer l'un des objectifs prioritaires de la politique économique. Cependant, de nombreuses innovations peuvent affecter la richesse, la santé ou même la liberté de l'ensemble de la so
