Assessment of electrical conductivity and germinability of groundnut genotype seeds
No full textSeed quality affects crop establishment and productivity. In addition, the use of good-quality seed is an essential prerequisite for sustainable crop production including groundnuts. Assessing germinability and electrical conductivity provides early evidence of the production potential of a given crop variety or genotype. Therefore, this study assessed the germinability and electrical conductivity of seeds of three groundnut genotypes. A laboratory experiment arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), replicated three times, was conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture, Kyambogo University, in 2020. Seeds of Igola, Serenut 1, and Serenut 2 groundnut varieties were tested, and data was collected on germination percentage and electrical conductivity. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed using GenStat and means were separated using the least significant difference test at a 5% probability level. Germination percentage and electrical conductivity significantly (p<0.05) differed among the groundnut varieties, with Igola recording the highest germination percentage, followed by Serenut 1, and the lowest was in Serenut 2. The highest electrical conductivity was recorded in Serenut 1 and the lowest in Igola. Since Igola had one of the lowest electrical conductivity and the highest germination percentage, it was concluded that Igola genotype retained higher quality attributes
The potential use of Pediococcus spp. probiotic in aquaculture: A review
No full textAquaculture production has significantly increased over the previous few decades. However, antibiotics have been implemented regularly and extensively to overcome outbreaks of pathogens in aquaculture to cover the human needs for animal protein, leading to the appearance of resistant strains that may cause serious damages in the environment and also human health. In the last few years, the implementation of probiotics as an alternative technique to antibiotics use in fish production has achieved promising results in aquaculture due to their beneficial impact on fish health and growth performance. Among different types of probiotics, the Pediococcus spp. bacteria stand out as a promising probiotic for their beneficial impact to aquaculture. Thus, the current study has been conducted to give an overview about the interactions between Pediococcus spp. and aquaculture. In addition, this review highlights the role of Pediococcus spp in promoting growth performance, improving feed conversion ratios and the intestinal architecture, enhancing the immune response and inhibiting fish pathogens, thereby preventing or at least reducing the use of antibiotics. Practical use of Pediococcus spp. probiotic in aquaculture as feed additives through selected case studies is also considered.
DETERMINING TYPES OF CONSCIOUS CONSUMERS WHO PREFER NUTRITION LABELING
Full text linkOne of the most important pillars of a healthy lifestyle is healthy nutritional value, in which FOP nutrition labels can support consumers in making the right decision. A healthy diet is essential for overall well-being and the prevention of many chronic diseases. Special attention must be paid to the use of FOP nutrition values in order to prevention and healthy decision-making. It is important that people can interpret the nutritional value of food as simply as possible, which FOP nutrition labels can help them with. The packaging has to provide realistic and accurate information about the product. This study describes four types of FOP nutrition labels used in the European Union: Nordic Keyhole, Nutri-Score, Traffic Lights, Nutrinform Battery. During the conducted focus group interviews, the participants got acquainted with these nutrition labels and created the personality types that they can imagine knowing and using the given FOP nutrition label
A szülői nevelési stílusok mint a serdülők deviáns viselkedéseinek előrejelzője
Full text linkAdolescence is a period attributed with series of changes, and sometimes, adolescents engage in deviant behaviour and violate societal norms. The impacts of these delinquent acts are deleterious and needed to be curbed. This study examined parenting styles as predictor of adolescents' delinquent behaviours. Married adults in Kwara State, Nigeria comprised the population of this study (n=300) and sample was chosen using simple random sampling technique from Kwara South Senatorial Districts. Questionnaire designed by the authors was used to collect data from the respondents. Mean and rank order analysis was used to answer the research questions. The hypothesis was tested using multiple regression at 0.05 level of significance. The finding revealed that authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles were common among married adults. It was shown that permissive and uninvolved parenting styles were the predictors of adolescents’ delinquent behaviours. It was recommended that parent should endeavour to create adequate time to interact with adolescent, sten to their worries, provide unambiguous responses to their queries and relate friendly with them. Counsellors should be adequately prepared to address the cases of youthful exuberance.A serdülőkor egy olyan időszak, amely számos változással jár, s előfordul, hogy a serdülők a társadalmi normák megsértésével deviáns viselkedést tanúsítanak. E deviáns cselekedetek hatásai károsak, és megfékezésre szorulnak. A tanulmány a szülői nevelési stílusokat a serdülők deviáns viselkedésének előre jelzése szempontjából vizsgálta. A kutatásba egyszerű véletlenszerű mintavételi technikával házasságban élő felnőtteket (n=300) vontak be a nigériai Kwara államban. Az adatgyűjtéshez a szerző által készített kérdőívet használtak, az adatokat átlag- és rangsorolási elemzéssel elemezték a kutatási kérdések megválaszolásához. A hipotézist többszörös regresszióval tesztelték, 0,05-ös szignifikancia szint mellett. Az eredmények szerint az autoriter és az autoritatív szülői nevelési stílus volt a legjellemzőbb a házasságban élő felnőttek körében. Az eredmények rámutattak arra is, hogy a megengedő és az elhanyagoló nevelési stílusok előre jelezhetik a serdülők deviáns viselkedéseit. Javaslat: a szülők törekedjenek arra, hogy elegendő időt biztosítani a serdülőkkel való interakcióra, figyelmesen meghallgassák őket, egyértelmű válaszokat adjanak kérdéseikre, és barátságos kapcsolatot alakítsanak ki velük. A tanácsadóknak fel kell készülniük a serdülőkori viselkedési problémák kezelésére

Kulturális örökség és migráció: az immigráns közösségek építészete
Full text link This article examines the connection between cultural heritage, migration, and architecture, highlighting how immigrant communities navigate identity and memory through built environments. The study investigates the reflection of the built environment in response to new environmental and social conditions. Through a theoretical analysis of heritage, assimilation, national architecture, and vernacular architecture, the findings aim to contribute to broader discussions on multicultural inclusivity and immigrant architecture's role in shaping national and local identities.A tanulmány a kulturális örökség, a migráció és az építészet összefüggéseit vizsgálja, kiemelve, hogy az immigráns közösségek hogyan alakítják identitásukat és emlékezetüket az épített környezeten keresztül. A kutatás azt elemzi, hogy az épített környezet miként reagál az új társadalmi és környezeti feltételekre. Az örökség, az asszimiláció, a nemzeti építészet és a népi építészet elméleti elemzésén keresztül a tanulmány célja hozzájárulni a multikulturális inkluzivitás szélesebb körű diskurzusaihoz, valamint az immigráns építészet nemzeti és helyi identitásformáló szerepének megértéséhez
THE DECLINE OF TRADITIONAL LIVESTOCK FARMING IN SPAIN AND ITS IMPACT ON ECOSYSTEM SERVICES: UNDERSTANDING THE DYNAMICS THROUGH FOCUS GROUPS WITH SHEPHERDS
No full textTraditional extensive livestock farming has emerged as a potential sustainable development strategy in Europe, particularly to address rural depopulation and provide multiple positive externalities. Despite new European policies emphasizing its importance, the sector continues to decline. This study employs focus group methodology to examine the underlying causes of this decline from the perspective of shepherds. Two discussion groups were held with farmers from the regions of Castilla y León and Castilla-La Mancha in Spain, allowing us to contrast the testimonies of the practitioners with the existing literature. Our methodological approach emphasizes the value of focus groups in capturing complex socioeconomic dynamics within traditional livestock communities.
The findings reveal multiple interconnected challenges: low profitability derived from legal requirements and concentration of demand; increasingly complex access to pastures due to local and state regulations; significant barriers to entry, including economic requirements and bureaucracy; difficulties in work-life balance; bureaucratic obstacles to positive externalities; conflictive relations with the tourism sector; weak associationism; and limited technology adoption. This study contributes to the methodological literature by demonstrating how focus groups can effectively reveal hidden dynamics in declining traditional sectors.
THE IMPACT OF REDUCED LOADING DENSITY ON SLAUGHTER CHICKEN TRANSPORT: A HUNGARIAN CASE STUDY
Full text linkThe European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has issued a new recommendation regarding the regulation of animal transport, which includes providing more space for animals during transportation. Complying with this recommendation has various economic, environmental, and animal welfare implications. A case study was conducted in cooperation with two slaughterhouses in Hungary to assess the animal welfare, economic, and environmental consequences of reducing bird density during broiler transport. For both companies, data from two consecutive transport trips were analysed: one trip followed the current regulation and practice regarding stocking density, while the other used the lower density recommended by EFSA. Although the two companies used different types of crates and loading methods, the mode of transport, weather conditions, personnel involved in loading and unloading, and measurement procedures were the same. Worse animal welfare indicators (e.g., dead-on-arrival birds, confiscations, limb injuries, bruises) were observed in both cases when loading density was reduced in line with EFSA’s recommendation. Therefore, no clear benefits from an animal welfare perspective could be identified. From an economic standpoint, the implementation of this recommendation would require significant investment, result in higher per-unit transportation costs, and ultimately lead to an increase in poultry meat prices. Furthermore, the environmental impact would also be negative: more transport trips would be needed, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions and greater water usage for washing vehicles and containers
