Strategies for sustainable rural development of the North-East region of Romania
No full textThe paper aims to identify how to approach sustainable development in regional development strategies, having as a
case study the North-East Region, and to evaluate how to implement strategic objectives, at regional and rural level.
The document aims to identify new strategic proposals to ensure the sustainable development of rural areas, using a
system of specific, quantifiable and representative indicators that allow, through econometric analysis, the evaluation of
results and the projection of sustainable development developments. The approach of sustainable development and rural
development in a strategic context had above all a theoretical character, the analysis being oriented towards: the
delimitation of the different conceptual aspects regarding the sustainable development and the strategies of sustainable
development; addressing rural development from sustainable development; regulations on sustainable development at
global, European and national level, etc. The paper thus highlights, starting from the analysis of regional development
strategies of the Northeast Region, solutions to improve the process of strategic implementation of development
objectives, by providing viable tools for monitoring development, sustainable development at regional and rural level,
eliminating their trends disproportionate. The target indicators proposed by this document and their justification allow
such a realistic and accurate estimation of the strategic implementation and the measurement of the impact of the
strategic objectives. At European level, concerns about incorporating the principles of sustainable development into
Member States' development strategies emerged with Agenda 21, but the approach was fragmented and policy
implementation was inconsistent in trade, investment, technology and sustainable development
The effect of the level of faeces quails in the ration on final body weight, carcass, ration efficiency and internal organs of broiler chickens
No full textQuails faeces contains good enough protein also energy and potential to be used as an alternative animal feed ingredient to reduce of production cost. Utilization of quail faeces in broiler ration can be directly given in the form of flour or fermented but however it has a limited to used. This study was aimed to determine the level of quail faeces in the ration that still produce good final body weight, carcass, ration efficiency and internal organs of broiler chickens. The study used 100 DOC of broilers that were divided into 20 units of cages, so each unit of cage consisted of 5 chickens. The study used Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments that were one ration without quails faeces (R0) and three rations containing quails faeces ie R1 (7.5%), R2 (15%) and R3 (22.5%). The parameters measured were final body weight, ration efficiency, carcass and internal organs of broiler chickens. The data was analyzed using analysis of variance and the difference among treatments was analyzed by Duncan Test. The result of the research show that the rations containing quails faeces 15% still produce good final body weight, ration efficiency, carcass and internal organs of broiler chickens
Vitamin C Attenuates Oxidative Stress and Behavioral Abnormalities Triggered by Fipronil and Pyriproxyfen Insecticide Chronic Exposure on Zebrafish Juvenile.
No full textChronic exposure to synthetic insecticides in the early life of a child can lead to a series of disorders. Several causes as parental age, maternal smoking, birth complications, and exposure to toxins such as insecticides on childhood can lead to Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) occurrence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential protective role of vitamin C (Vit. C) from children’s supplements after 14 days chronic exposure to insecticide mixture fipronil (Fip) + pyriproxyfen (Pyr) on juvenile zebrafish for swimming performances, social behavior and oxidative stress associated with ASD model. Juvenile (14–17 mm) wild-type AB zebrafish (Danio rerio) (45 days) were exposed to relevant concentrations: vit. C (25 µg L−1), Fip (600 µg L−1/1.372 μM) + Pyr (600 µg L−1/1.89 μM), and [Fip (600 µg L−1/1.372 μM) + Pyr (600 µg L−1 /1.89 μM)] + vit. C (25 µg L−1). Our results showed that insecticides can disturb the social behavior of zebrafish during 14 days of the administration, decreased the swimming performances, and elevated the oxidative stress biomarkers of SOD (superoxide dismutase), GPx (glutathione peroxidase), and MDA (malondialdehyde). The vitamin C supplement significantly attenuated the neurotoxicity of insecticide mixture and oxidative stress. This study provides possible in vivo evidence to show that vitamin C supplements could attenuate oxidative stress and brain damage of fipronil and pyriproxyfen insecticide chronic exposure on zebrafish juvenile
Macroendoscopical and histopathological aspects in Helicobacter pylori gastroenteritis in dogs– case report
No full textIn current veterinary medical practice, more clinical and imaging investigations are needed to fully assess a patient with digestive symptoms. In this case, the anamnesis and patient history are the starting points in staging a diagnosis. Questions with uncertain answers lead to laboratory tests – blood count and blood biochemistry. The etiologic diversity in digestive pathologies implies these blood tests to exclude some of the diseases. X-ray and ultrasound examinations are the next steps to follow; these are diagnosis methods that precede the endoscopic examination. After the macroendoscopic evaluation of the digestive tract, biopsy samples must be taken for the Helicobacter pylori quick test
(Figure 1). Histological examination of the biopsy samples taken from canine patients, which were positive for Helicobacter pylori, can reveal another lesions in the digestive tract; in this moment a treatment can be initiated to reduce or even to abolish the simptomatology
Passive immunity stimulated by vaccination of dry cows with a trivalent vaccine against neonatal calf diarrhea
No full textPassive transfer of colostrum immunoglobulins from cow to newborn is extremely important because calves under 5 weeks of age do not have active immunity and colostrum antibodies are the only source of immunoglobulins to protect calves from infectious diseases immediately after birth. One of the most common causes of calf death is acute neonatal diarrhea caused by pathogens such as rotavirus, coronavirus and Escherichia coli. In the first weeks of life, calves acquire maternal antibodies from colostrum and milk can have a local protective effect against intestinal enteropathogens. Vaccination of pregnant cows reduces the morbidity and mortality rates of the calf. Vaccination of cows even in the early stages of pregnancy (6 months before calving) can provide passive protection in newborn calves against etiological agents such as enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli. Previous studies have shown that continuous
administration of colostrum from immunized cows prevents severe diarrhea and mortality in calves. In North America and Europe, various vaccines against neonatal calf diarrhea have been developed to increase antibody titers in colostrum and cow's milk. However, there are not many studies on maternal vaccination to protect against diarrhea in
calves in Romania. In this article we have detailed the results of a field study on improving passive immunity in calves by administering a multipurpose maternal vaccine available in Europe
Influence of stabilization treatments on the sensory characteristics of white wines
Get PDFWine requires special attention because it is known as one of the most
refined pleasures of life. Wine tasting is not just a simple act of drinking; it
involves appreciation, identification and meditation. Wine flavor and taste is
formed by complex interactions of the volatile compounds formed as a result of
grape ripening and winemaking process. The quality of the wine is assessed by
sensory analysis, taking into account the fact that analyzes are performed in the
laboratory of information on chemical composition, wine’s health and its
resistance to alterations, sensory analysis is used to assess and establish the
quality of a wine. The aim of this research was to analyse the effect of different
treatments on the sensory characteristics of white wines obtained from a blend
of Muscat Ottonel and FeteascaRegala grape varieties. Forty-five variants
treated with 6 % SO2 solution and dimethyl dicarbonate liquid solution in
various ratios, were studied. Graphical representations of the sensory profiles
including flavor and taste characteristics as diagrams by platting the average of
the value obtained for the sensory descriptors
Financial crime: how financial institutions can mitigate money laundering risk associated with politically exposed persons and improve their compliance program
No full textThe customer acceptance policy of financial institutions stipulates that the Bank shall enter in business relationship and
offer banking products and services to customers based on risk appetite correlated to the reputational risk. According to
Financial Action Task Force (FATF), a politically exposed person (PEP) is “an individual who is or has been entrusted
with a prominent public function: Heads of State or of government, senior politicians, senior government, judicial or
military officials, senior executives of state owned corporations, important political party officials, etc.” The business
relationship involving politically exposed persons (PEPs) is classified according to Know Your Customer and Anti
Money Laundering Principles with high risk, because PEPs have the position to influence some decisions at state level,
being involved in corruption, bribery schemes; they have access to significant state funds which can be laundered
through companies owned by PEPs, their relatives or close associates by abusing of PEPs high position. The purpose of
this scientific research is to highlight the money laundering risk indicators connected to PEPs and to propose mitigation
measures to be applied by financial institutions, while strengthening their controls, as a part of an effective compliance
program.
Sustainable agricultural practices and related problems among rice farming households in Kwara State, Nigeria
No full textFarmers in Nigeria are
unpredictable unlike other developing
countries where a good agronomic
practices are used for a sustainable
increase in rice production as result, the
demand for rice consumption far
overweighs rice production. This study
presented empirical findings on the
sustainable agricultural practices and its
constraints among the rice farming
households in one selected state of
Nigeria. The study utilized primary data
collected in 2019 using a four stage
random sampling techniques. A total
sample of 150 rice farmers was collected
with the use of descriptive statistics,
Likert-type scale and multinomial logistic
regression model for analysis. The result
indicates that the recommended
sustainable agricultural practices (SAP)
least adopted were the use of High
Yielding Variety seed and agrochemicals
probably due to their high cost. The
factors that influences the full usage of
SAP in rice farming were farm size, level
of education, farming experience,
extension contact and access to credit.
Also, farm size and access to credit also
influenced the partial usage of SAP. The
major constraints limiting the usage were
high cost of fertilizers, high cost of
improved seed and unavailability
agrochemicals. The study recommends
that extension agents should visit local
farmers more often and carry out more
demonstrations on the usage of SAP
Goat breeding and herds health status in the Northeast area of Romania – a short review
No full textThe goat is a species that managed to attract attention to the breeders due to the fact that they are suitable for an efficient
holding in small households, have a high lactogenic capacity, high prolificacy, precocity and high degree of adaptability
and resistance, occupying areas where the natural resources and field conditions do not allow the growth of other
species, which is why the goat herds in our country is constantly growing. Thus, the goat population in Romania
increased from 1009794 animals in 2005 to 2057309 in December 2018. Our country occupying the third place in the
hierarchy of Member States of the European Union, in 2019, following countries with tradition in the goat breeding,
such as United Kingdom and Spain. The most numerous are the Carpathian native goats and Banat White, a crossbreed
obtained from the Carpathian and Saanen breeds, followed by French Alpine and Saanen, imported lately to improve
milk production. To date, in Romanian literature had been reported researches on the subject of diseases and health
problems in goats, there are studies on paratuberculosis, contagious ecthyma, infectious respiratory disorders,
gangrenous mastitis, contagious agalactia, bluetongue, caprine arthritis and encephalitis, and parasitic infections as
coccidiosis, tapeworm (Monezia, Cestoda) and round worms (Nematoda - Trichostrongylus sp.) infestation, etc.
Although Romania has a national program for urveillance and control program for goat health status, the problems in
livestock goat diagnosed and published in recent years, are poor and changing, unsystematic and insufficient. The
epidemiological situation in Romania has undergone significant changes in recent years, our country is the southeastern
border of the European Union, which implies an increased risk for all major animal diseases and, of course, monitoring
programs and greater control than in other Member States of the European Union. An effective animal health program
is an essential part of a successful dairy goat management program
