Effects of the thermal environment on the bioenergetics of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) using group respirometry
No full textMittels Respirometrie wurden drei Versuche durchgeführt, um den Einfluss der Haltungstemperatur auf den Energiestoffwechsel von Regenbogenforellen in heimischer Aquakultur zu untersuchen. Es wurde festgestellt, dass der Wärmezuwachskoeffizient entgegen langläufiger Ansicht bei Regenbogenforellen stark von der Haltungstemperatur beeinflusst wird. Um die Methode der Gruppenrespirometrie zu validieren, wurden die Ergebnisse mit einem etablierten Modell verglichen und es wurde festgestellt, dass die Methode verlässliche Ergebnisse generieren kann. In einem zweiten Versuche wurde festgestellt, dass Kohlenhydrate bei unterschiedlichen Haltungstemperaturen unterschiedlich von Fischen metabolisiert werden. Bei niedrigen Temperaturen führen sie zu einem ähnlich niedrigen Energieverlust bei der Verstoffwechselung wie Fette. Bei höheren Temperaturen sind die Verluste bei Fetten allerdings signifikant niedriger. Im dritten Versuch konnte gezeigt werden, dass Proteine von Regenbogenforrelen bei 16,9°C am effizientesten metabolisiert werden und dass dieser Effekt unabhängig von der Zusammensetzung der Diät ist
Branding in 2025
No full textThis chapter develops a view on brand management in the year ‘2025'. Author proposed three main levers of change: technology, society, and customer behavior. These levers influence the “corporate system” in which companies and other organizations operate. Author further proposed ten suggestions which could employ for brand management in 2025. These are: 1. Development of stronger brand messages, 2. Importance of sound, movement, and animation in branding, 3. Continuous evolution of brands, 4. Sub-brands as a key to emotionalize customer perception, 5. Need to interact more with stakeholders, 6. Creation of ‘permission to use and own' a product, 7. Alignment of individual product/company brands with umbrella brand 8. Globalization of brands, 9. Need to keep B2C business along with B2B business, 10. Investment into branding by B2B companies.</jats:p

Far from Enlightenment : philosophical approaches to Voyage au bout de la nuit, Bagatelles pour un massacre and Mea culpa of Louis-Ferdinand Céline
No full textPlus que jamais, les débats que suscite le personnage de Louis-Ferdinand Céline s’apprêtent à prendre le pas sur la réception de son œuvre littéraire, pourtant exceptionnellement riche. Soumis à une lecture souvent approximative, imprégnée d’aprioris, ses écrits sont couramment victime d’une mise en perspective déformée, car abordés à rebours. Deux idées aussi tenaces que contradictoires se maintiennent alors : celle d’une œuvre principalement politique et celle d’un écrivain avant tout styliste. Donnant la priorité à une approche en accord avec le développement chronologique de l’œuvre, ce travail de thèse propose de remettre en valeur les intentions primaires de celle-ci. À partir d’une contextualisation dans l’histoire des idées de Voyage au bout de la nuit, Mea culpa et Bagatelles pour un massacre, elle soutient que les écrits de Céline s’appuient sur une interrogation philosophique qui s’élabore autour d’un même malaise vis-à-vis de l’héritage des Lumières, mais dont les conséquences, autant pour le fond que pour la forme, diffèrent selon les textes. Alors que Voyage au bout de la nuit présente une interrogation ontologique axée autour du motif du néant, Bagatelles pour un massacre poursuit une approche où la remise en question des Lumières donne naissance à des revendications esthétiques et sociologiques autant qu’à des diatribes idéologiques. Aux confins de l’un et de l’autre texte, Mea culpa pose les bases de ce passage de l’abstrait au concret, si lourd de conséquences pour l’appréhension de l’œuvre. Ainsi, ce travail de thèse contribue non seulement à une meilleure compréhension des textes abordés, mais montre l’univers intellectuel sous-jacent qui les relie.More than ever, debates engaging the character of Louis–Ferdinand Céline prevail over assessments of his collected work. The latter tends to receive superficial treatment, falling victim to a distorted perspective, infused with pre-judgment and approached through the prism of the author rather than the work itself. Two ideas, as persistent as they are contradictory prevail: of work that is inherently political and of a writer who is above all a stylist. Emphasising an approach in sync with the chronological development of Celine’s work, this thesis proposes to resurrect the author’s primary intentions. Starting with a contextualisation of Voyage au bout de la nuit, Mea culpa and Bagatelles pour un massacre, it is submitted that the writings of Celine rely on philosophical questioning developed around the same unease as has been witnessed on the legacy of the Enlightenment, but whose consequences, as much for the substance as the form, differ as according to the text. Whilst Voyage au bout de la nuit presents an ontological question centred on the theme for nothingness, Bagatelles pour un massacre pursues an approach where the questioning of the Enlightenment gives rise to aesthetic and sociological claims as well as ideological denunciations. At the extremities of the various texts, Mea culpa forms the basis of this movement from the abstract to the concrete albeit fraught with consequences for the understanding of the work. Thus, this thesis not only contributes to a better understanding of the texts examined, but shows the underlying intellectual universe that connects them

No full text3243The authors performed an instantaneous bioenergetic study with rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) of 206.3 g ± 2.9 g in a group respirometer of nine 250 l tanks at five different water temperatures (12, 14, 16, 18, 20°C) to determine the optimal thermal condition for a maximal visualization of the protein-sparing effect. Twelve fish per tank were tested at a stocking density of 9.94 kg m−3 ± 0.14 kg m−3 and fed three low-protein/high-energy diets with constant crude protein content of c. 35% and three different energy contents (17.35, 18.76, 20.50 MJ kg−1) once daily at a ration of 1.3% body weight (n = 3). Energy levels were increased by adding gelatinized wheat starch as a carbohydrate source and fish oil, canola oil and palmitin as lipid sources. Three different dietary digestible protein/digestible energy ratios (DP/DE: 20.38, 19.08, 18.09 mg kJ−1) were achieved by replacing bentonite as a non-nutritive filler with carbohydrates and lipids. Oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion were assessed to obtain the potentially retainable energy (RE) and ammonia quotient (AQ) as benchmarks for potential growth and protein-sparing effect. The results showed the lowest relative metabolic combustion of protein at 16.9°C ± 0.1°C. The authors determined this temperature to set the optimal thermal condition for the induction of a maximum protein-sparing effect in juvenile rainbow trout. Increasing the DP/DE ratio significantly altered the magnitude of the relative metabolic protein use but had no effect on its interactions with temperature. The authors were able to reduce average metabolic fuel use of protein across diets from 16.2% ± 2.3% at 12°C to 8.0% ± 1.2% at 16°C. This study found no relevant significant differences of RE with the environmental temperature.103
