Benefits and uses of lavender essential oil as a complementary and alternative therapy - a short review
Get PDFThe use of natural extracts as complementary and alternative therapies in human medicine to treat various ailments is
presently growing, as many specialists all over the world have showcased an heightened interest in the therapeutic
potential of plants. A variety of therapeutic methods are known to use essential oils extracted from various plants and
herbs. Essential oils are complex mixtures of volatile compounds that are abundant in herbs and result from secondary
plant metabolism. Due to their chemical composition, essential oils have many biological activities of great interest in
the fields of health, food, and cosmetics.Lavender essential oil is one of the most used natural products for its antiinflammatory,
antimicrobial, relaxing, calming, anxiolytic, antioxidant, anticonvulsant, etc. therapeutic effects.In
veterinary medicine, the therapeutic potential of lavender essential oil is not fully known and, therefore, is only used
experimentally or sometimes as a supplement in animal feed for animals of economic interest. This has led us to
publicize its beneficial effects in wound healing by presenting information from the scientific literature in order to
expand the current repertoire of cost-effective wound healing options available to physicians and animal owners,
especially in the current context of imposing a rational use of antibiotics in dogs and cats
Folosirea markerilor moleculari tip SSR la cireș (Prunus avium L.)
Get PDFSweet cherry (Prunus avium L.), belonging to Rosaceae family, is a very popular fruit tree species and it is cultivated worldwide. Recent advances in molecular biology research have brought to light new data, including the identification of molecular markers related to traits of interest. Microsatellite (simple sequence repeats or SSR) markers have been used extensively for a variety of purposes, such as the study of genetic variability, DNA fingerprinting, molecular identification, etc. The present review proposes to bring together data referring to the use of SSRs for the sweet cherry species
Reserch regarding the obtaining bakery clean label products with natural levain in the bakery section of Iași University Of Life Sciences
No full textWithin the University of Life Sciences in 2018, an advanced technological line for bakery products production was
established. One of the aims of the research carried out within it was to find alternative solutions for the development of
the technology for obtaining Clean Label bakery products within natural levain. The present study aims to describe the
technology of obtaining both natural levain and bakery products with this type of levain. Natural levain is represented
by a dough obtained from wheat flour, water, sugar, salt dehydrated fruits (plums and apricots) that has been subjected
to an acidifying fermentation in a controlled environment. The obtained products consisted of 4 experimental variants,
respectively: V1 – white bread with natural levain, V2 – brown bread with natural levain and seeds, V3 – white bread
with natural levain, apricots and plums and V4 – white bread with natural levain, cranberries and walnuts. These
products were evaluated from qualitative point of view (physical-chemical) and the results showed that this category of
Clean Label products can represent a sustainable alternative, with an extended shelf life, with a constant quality, criteria
that meet the requirements of rigorous consumers
Research on the identification of certain economic ways to manage the sexual cycle in KB sheep, in order to increase the productive and reproductive performances
No full textDeterminants for conducting food safety culture research
No full textDespite scientific discoveries, continual improvement in food safety management systems, and increased academic
discussion on food safety, food safety remains an issue around the world. Organizational and administrative
characteristics (i.e. food safety vision, communication, commitment, leadership, training), technical facilities/resources
(i.e. food hygiene/safety tools, equipment, facilities), employee characteristics (i.e. attitudes, knowledge, perceptions,
and risk awareness), group characteristics, and crucible characteristics are all important factors to consider in food
safety culture research. The use of a systems approach, quantitative indicators, categorization systems for differentiated
assessment, and the use of numerous techniques to improve study validity are among the methodological needs for food
safety culture research. The identified food safety culture research determinants provide a solid and transparent
foundation for a common understanding and research of the topic. The purpose of this study is to identify determinants
for undertaking food safety culture research, with the systems approach serving as the underpinning philosophy to lead
an organized rethinking of national, organizational, and safety culture literature in the context of food safety
Change management: a case study in the republic of Moldova through the prism of business efficiency
No full textOrganizational culture in the current conditions has become a well-known and deeply developed phenomenon by
international companies, including those in the Republic of Moldova. Despite the fact that our country has been
independent for 29 years and in conditions of developing the market economy, we managed to have good practices in
the managerial field, including in terms of organization. Organizational culture in terms of organizational change is a
current topic, with a precedent in companies, international corporations, which led the researcher to an analysis of
national experience in the efficient management of a local enterprise. The fact that in recent years the Republic of
Moldova has known good performances in the theoretical substantiation of management has left a rather convincing and
applicable imprint in the practice of national companies. Among the entities with developed organizational culture are
identified primarily those in the banking field. In this context, the author managed to present in this article a practical
study on the analysis of organizational culture in the context of change management with effects of managerial and
administrative efficiency. This entity continues to be one of the largest and most representative commercial banks in the
Republic of Moldova, including highlighted by the particular and efficient organizational culture
Results regarding quality parameters and incubation performance of the Grey Guinea (Numida meleagris) fowl eggs
No full textShort-term heart rate variability in healthy dogs and dogs in various stages of degenerative mitral valve disease evaluated before pharmacotherapy
Get PDFMitral valve disease (MVD) progression is associated with autonomic nervous system (ANS) imbalance. This
study hypothesized that sympathetic and parasympathetic tones would be altered with MVD progression. ANS
activity was assessed among different MVD classes in untreated dogs. This cross-sectional retrospective study
included 29 healthy control dogs and 71 dogs with MVD divided according to American College of Internal
Medicine (ACVIM) guidelines. Heart rate variability (HRV) analyses utilised time and frequency domains and
were derived from 5 min, six-lead electrocardiogram recordings of sinus rhythm or respiratory sinus arrhythmia.
While all time domain-related HRV parameters decreased with disease severity, only dogs in stage C exhibited
significantly lower values (P < 0.05). High frequency (HF) band values decreased more than low frequency (LF)
band values as disease severity increased (P < 0.05). The LF/HF ratio also progressively increased with MVD
severity. A negative correlation was observed between HRV parameters and La/Ao ratio when the entire MVD
case population was pooled (P < 0.05). Both sympathetic and parasympathetic tones were altered in dogs with
MVD before clinical signs were observed and prior to the development of cardiomegaly. This is the first HRV
study in untreated dogs with MVD. Investigating ANS imbalances preceding subclinical left-sided cardiomegaly
in dogs with MVD should be considered in future age-matched, longitudinal studies to determine the potential
