The development of the viticulture and wine sector export in the Republic of Moldova
No full textThe global viticulture and wine export competition is growing exponentially, manifested by the spread of new advanced
technologies. These technologies have resulted in improved control over production processes and in the quality
improvement of even cheap wines, in the massive entry of exporters from the "New World", whose sales have tripled
since 1992. That’s why, the emergence of new import and export markets requires original and well-targeted strategies
and approaches.
Today the wine and viticulture sector in the Republic of Moldova depends on exports. Wine is one of the country's main
export products. Over 90 percent of the produced wine production is exported. The wine industry has traditionally been
the most powerful sector of the national economy of Moldova. In the past, our country was the largest wine exporter on
the USSR market, because every second bottle of wine and every third bottle of sparkling wine was produced in our
country
Clinical and therapeutic interferences between diabetes and cataract
No full textOne of the most common non-communicable chronic diseases and the most common endocrine
disease in both humans and animals, diabetes is characterized by disorders of the entire metabolism,
especially carbohydrate metabolism and by complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves and vessels
blood. In many studies, dogs have been favored due to breeds of breed, genetic molding, and it is found to
them that the living environment is important in acquiring diabetes over time, the disorders being
heterogeneous by race and characterized phenotypically . The aim of the present paper was to identify the
correct and early diagnosis of diabetic animals, to establish the mechanisms by which the secondary cataract
of diabetes occurs, to establish a correct treatment, so that the diagnosis errors in the future will be as rare
as possible. For this, dogs with diabetes were monitored even over a year, blood glucose levels were as close
as possible to the normal range, using appropriate treatment for each patient, using appropriate diets by
encouraging a proper exercise regimen , But not least by properly informing the owners of diabetic animals.
The primary objective was to detect diabetes and secondary cataracts as early as possible by determining
blood glucose, ketone bodies, ocular ultrasound, and electroretinography, followed by appropriate treatment
for each patient with Mixtard-30 and / or Lantus insulin. Of the 25 significant cases studied, 14 were treated
exclusively with insulin, ie insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, sometimes supplemented with oral
hypoglycemia, 7 patients were treated exclusively with oral hypoglycemia and 4 cases were treated with
insulin as well as with Oral hypoglycemia. Cataracts present in 56% of subjects were treated with good
results using Quinax eye drops. Good results were achieved by observing a constant caloric intake at each
meal, feeding half of the total caloric intake at each insulin injection, maintaining the same meal hours,
avoiding dietary changes, and following a daily, daily exercise effort
Preliminary research regarding the prevalence of digestive and respiratory parasitosis in meat cattle from the Hârtibaci Valley, Sibiu County
No full textIn Romania, the data regarding gastrointestinal and respiratory parasitism in cattle are scarce and incomplete. This study was undertaken on Angus breed cattle from an intensive-type exploitation in Nochrich, Sibiu County. The faeces samples were examined both through qualitative and quantitative methods. The most widespread type of parasitism was the one caused by the ciliate Balantidium coli (51.61%), followed in equal manner by Eimeria (32.25%) and Fasciola/Paramphistomum. The digestive strongyles (22.58%) were less representative. These were followed in a decreasing order by the infestation with Dictyocaulus viviparus (16.13%) and by Strongyloides spp. (12.90%)
Transition from emotional to rational advertising for food products on the Romanian market
No full textAdvertising helps to establish
a set of assumptions that the consumer will
bring to all other aspects of their
engagement with a given brand. Advertising
provides tangible evidence of the financial
credibility and competitive presence of an
organization. Persuasion is becoming more
important in advertising. In marketing,
persuasive advertising acts to establish
wants/motivations and beliefs/attitudes by
helping to formulate a conception of the
brand as being one which people like those
in the target audience would or should
prefer. Considering the changes in lifestyle
and eating habits of a significant part of the
population in urban areas in Romania, the
paper aims to analyse how brands manage
to differentiate themselves from
competitors, to reposition themselves on the
market and influence consumers, meeting
their increasingly varied needs. Food brands
on the Romanian market are trying, lately,
to identify new methods of differentiation
and new benefits for their buyers. Given that
more and more consumers are becoming
increasingly concerned about what they eat
and the products’ health effects, brands
struggle to highlight the fact that their
products offer real benefits for the body.
The advertisements have become more
diversified and underline the positive
effects, from the health and well - being
point of view, that those foods offer (no
additives and preservatives, use of natural
ingredients, various vitamins and minerals
or the fact that they are dietary). Advertising
messages’ diversification is obvious on the
Romanian market, in the context of an
increasing concern of the population for the
growing level of information of some major
consumer segments
Enhancing the efficiency of the information system monitoring the hydrogeological regime of the Costesti - Stanca reservoir
No full textAt present, process monitoring using automated information systems, based on the use of computer technologies and
computers, is increasingly being used. Due to the information system we have the possibility to perform and combine
all the necessary processes for automation and monitoring.
In the Republic of Moldova the spread of information system possibilities is studied in connection with the need to
regulate the streams on rivers and to monitor the status of hydrotechnical facilities. The development of the information
system is of great importance as we’ll have the possibility to receive the necessary data in time in order to prevent
damages caused by floods, abundant rainfall or drought.
The purpose of this paper is to enhance the efficiency of the information system monitoring the hydrological regime and dam
body status of the Costesti-Stanca reservoir:
warning and monitoring systems’ efficiency of the hydrogeological regime of Costesti-Stanca reservoir;
operation of the contemporary warning and monitoring systems of the reservoir hydrogeological regime;
upgrading the system of hydrogeological parameters monitoring
Molecular studies on Pasteurella species isolated from ducks
No full textDuck cholera is a fatal, contagious and septicemic disease of ducks caused by Pasteurella species. A total of 150 ducks were collected from ten farms in Kaliobia Governorate suspected to be suffering from Pasteurellosis that manifested by respiratory signs, sudden death, and nervous manifestation. Collected Samples from these ducks were liver, spleen, heart and lung which subjected for bacteriological examination. A total of 33 Pasteurella strains were isolated, 25 strain were Pasteurella multocida (recovered from liver samples) and 8 strain were Pasteurella pneumotropica (5 strains recovered from lung and 3 strain recovered from heart). Finding of antibiotic sensitivity test showed that Pastreulla isolates were sensitive to florofinicole (80%) and moderately sensitive to ciprofloxacine (60%), enrofloxacin (50%) and followed by tobramycin (40%). Amoxicillin, oxytetracycline and penicillin were less sensitive (30% each) while isolates showed absolute resistance to erythromycin (100%) followed by resistance to gentamycin (90%) and naldixic acid (80%) for both types of Pasteurella. PCR results showed that Cytotoxic protein (toxA) toxcin virulence gene was detected in 4 out of 10 studied strains and fimbrial protein (ptfA) virulence gene was detected in 4 out of 10 studied strains. Sequences of toxA and ptfA genes were submitted to Gen Bank and assigned accession numbers were MF167359 and MF382009, respectively
Low environmental impact method for controlling the peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) and the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wied.), in mango orchards in Egypt
Get PDFThe study was carried out at
two experimental farms in Ismailia
Governorate, Egypt, during season of 2015
and 2016. GF-120 (Conserve® 0.024% CB)
was selected in this study to evaluate its
efficacy for controlling the peach fruit fly,
Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) and the
Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata
(Wied.), on mango fruits by using partial
bait spray and spots method. GF-120 was
used as low environmental impact method
and new way to control B. zonata and
C. capitata, compared with malathion 57%,
as traditional insecticide. During both
seasons, data revealed that the number of
C. capitata captured weekly from different
treatments and untreated plots was higher
than the number of B. zonata captured in
both seasons of experiment. Data revealed
that the number males of B. zonata and
C. capitata captured weekly from sticky
traps were lower in trees treated with GF-
120 than malathion and untreated plots. In
the farm of Faculty of Agriculture, Suez
Canal University, the lowest percentages of
infestation of both dropping and setting
fruits per tree were recorded in plots treated
with GF120 (spots), with an average of
25.14 and 17.022% for dropping fruits and
2.2 and 2.0% for setting fruits for 2015 and
2016 season, respectively. Data indicated
that the all tested formulation under field
condition caused significant reduction in the
rate of infestation from 54.92 to 81.79 for
both dropping and setting fruits. The lowest
percentages of infestations in the private
farm of both dropping and setting fruits per
tree were recorded in GF-120 (spray
treatment), with an average of 20.0, 12.12
for dropping fruits and 3.4 and 4.0 for setting fruits for 2015 and 2016 seasons,
respectively
Using gelatin to produce honey jelly from citrus, clover and cotton liquid honey
No full textThe liquid form of honey is
relatively undesirable because honey could
be crystallized and then spoilage under
certain conditions. In this study, producing
honey jelly from liquid citrus, clover and
cotton honey using gelatin was investigated.
Only gelatin and water were used to
produce the honey jelly without other
additives. Some chemical components were
then determined in produced honey jelly of
each type, in comparison with components
of liquid honey. The results showed that
solid honey jelly can be obtained using 10 g
gelatin dissolved in 50 ml per 200 g honey.
Using different amounts of gelatin and
water did not show significant impact on
measured components of produced jelly.
Liquid honey had significantly higher
percentage of sugars than jelly honey. The
variations between the two types of honey
were about 9.9, 9.7, and 9.75% for fructose,
13.5, 19.86 and 19.15% for glucose, 2.44,
1.85, and 1.7% for sucrose, for citrus, clover
and cotton, in respect. The viscosity of
honey jelly was significantly higher (from
82 to 90.66 poise) than liquid honey (from
31.63 to 63.86 poise) for each honey type.
The moisture ranged insignificantly
(P> 0.05) from 36.03 to 38.36% for honey
jelly, and insignificantly (P> 0.05) from
17.35 to 20.00% for liquid honey of all
honey types; pH values showed
insignificant variations between liquid
honey and honey jelly. Fructose and
moisture of liquid honey showed
insignificant weak correlation with
components of honey jelly. Glucose,
sucrose and pH of liquid honey are
correlated significantly by 88%, 86%, and
84% with percentages of glucose and
sucrose, and pH of honey jelly, respectively.
Producing honey jelly using gelatin could be
considered as a promising product from
liquid honey to encourage bee honey

Valorificarea reziduului vegetal de seminţe de struguri rezultat din procesele extractive ale compuşilor fenolici
No full textThe stepwise extraction process of phenolic compounds from grape seeds ultimately leads to the production of a residue rich in protein, cellulose and substances without nitrogen which can be biodegraded in nature by microorganisms from the soil. The purpose of this research was to verify whether the vegetable residue of grape seeds, resulting from the extraction of polymerized proanthocyanidins can be used as an organic fertilizer in the soil. The soil biodegradation process was assessed by microbiological analysis and analysis of current and potential dehydrogenase activity. The results obtained showed that the vegetal residue led to the increaseof the number of soil microorganisms involved in the nitrogen circuit and carbon, as a result of the triggering of the biodegradation process as well as its non-polluting effect supported by current and potential dehydrogenase activity determined in dynamicsover a year in experimental plots
Influence on week organic acids on pathogens on swine carcasses
No full textThe aim of this research was to assess the efficiency of organic acids regarding the main pathogens as Salmonella, Listeria, Campylobacter, Escherichia and Yersinia on pork meat. The fresh meat samples were collected from a slaughterhouse located in Cluj County. The samples were sterilized using UV radiation for 30 minutes and afterword’s contaminated with reference strains of above mentioned pathogens. The samples were subjected to decontamination operation by using solutions of organic acids (acetic, lactic and citric acid) in concentration of 1%, 2% and 3%. After decontamination were isolated and detected microorganisms. Statistic analyses of the results revealed that the investigated pathogens have a different sensitivity to the action of acid solutions, their sensitivity in ascending order being: Escherichia, Listeria, Salmonella, Yersinia, Campylobacter, so the strains of Campylobacter are the most sensitive to the action of the decontaminating agents and germs of Escherichia are the least sensitive. Among the organic acids, the most efficient appears to be lactic acid, followed by acetic acid and less efficient citric acid. The greatest reduction of germs was determined by the concentration of 3%
