Production Performance and Nutritional Quality of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Nurtured in Different Organic Waste
No full textNutritionists are beginning to pay attention to black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.)
larvae (BSFL) as an alternative to expensive soybean and fish meal in animal feed
which is abundant in different nutrients. Additionally, organic wastes including
leftover food, animal excreta, and agricultural wastes, can be used to efficiently raise
and spread BSFL. This study was carried out to evaluate the yield, production
performance and proximate composition of BSFL nurtured on different organic waste
namely, broiler starter feed (BF); rice bran (RB); market-sourced vegetable wastes
(VW); chicken manure (CM) and kitchen waste (KW). The BF fed group had the
highest observed larval yields (16.2 kg in total; P<0.05). Raising BSFL on BF, VW
and KW resulted in the greatest body weight (0.149, 0.147 and 0.150 g, respectively)
and growth rate (0.012 g), whereas the KW fed group had the longest body length
(P<0.05). The fed groups that received CM and BF had the highest and lowest
mortality rates, respectively (P<0.05). All fed groups except RB had improved feed
conversion ratios, while VW and KW fed groups had higher protein conversion ratios
(2.626 and 2.852, respectively; P<0.05). All the group had better substrate reduction
rate compared to CM fed group (P<0.05). The dry matter and ash contents of BSFL
reared on BF, VW and KW were higher than the RB and CM group (P<0.05). The
KW supplemented BSFL had the highest ether extract level, whereas the BF fed
group had the highest protein content (43.58%, P<0.05). In conclusion, BSFL can be
successfully reared on kitchen and vegetable scraps. It is anticipated that the cost of
black soldier fly farming and animal production will decrease since these organic
waste shown favorable effects on BSFL growth performance and nutritional quality
comparable to broiler feed in the current study
Barriers and facilitators to patient engagement in patient safety from patients and healthcare professionals' perspectives: A systematic review and meta-synthesis
No full textAIMS: To explore patients' and healthcare professionals' (HCPs) perceived barriers and facilitators to patient engagement in patient safety. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review and meta-synthesis from five computerized databases, including PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus and PsycINFO, as well as grey literature and reference lists of included studies. Data were last searched in December 2019 with no limitation on the year of publication. Qualitative and Mix-methods studies that explored HCPs' and patients' perceptions of barriers and facilitators to patient engagement in patient safety were included. Two authors independently screened the titles and the abstracts of studies. Next, the full texts of the screened studies were reviewed by two authors. Potential discrepancies were resolved by consensus with a third author. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool was used for quality appraisal. Thematic analysis was used to synthesize results. RESULTS: Nineteen studies out of 2616 were included in this systematic review. Themes related to barriers included: patient unwillingness, HCPs' unwillingness, and inadequate infrastructures. Themes related to facilitators were: encouraging patients, sharing information with patients, establishing trustful relationship, establishing patient-centred care and improving organizational resources. CONCLUSION: Patients have an active role in improving their safety. Strategies are required to address barriers that hinder or prevent patient engagement and create capacity and facilitate action.Full Tex
Islam between past and future: Sayyid Jamāl al-Dīn al-Afġhānī and Modernity
No full textEsta dissertação de mestrado propõe analisar as aproximações entre o conceito europeu de “modernidade” e o de “Pan-islamismo” formulado pelo autor iraniano Sayyid Jamāl al-Dīn al-Afġhānī (1838/39-1897) e defendido em seu Jornal al'Urwa al-Wuṯqà publicado entre os meses de março e outubro de 1884, assim como outros breves artigos escritos no Jornal francês L’Intrasigeant de 1883. O contexto do nascimento do Pan-islamismo é o do avanço do colonialismo e Imperialismo europeu sobre a Ásia acompanhados do ideal moderno. O resultado deste encontro teve diversas consequências para ambos, no mundo árabe e muçulmano, por exemplo, um novo movimento de renovação cultural, social, política e economia chamado de Nahḍa (Renascimento) aflora. No campo religioso o pensador Jamāl al-Dīn al-Afġhānī observando o avanço imperialista sobre o Oriente passa a atuar politicamente pela união dos povos islâmicos através da fé, o Pan-islamismo. A dissertação busca compreender se ideais modernos como “nação”, “civilização” e “progresso” aparecem nos artigos destes jornais, assim como, examinar a compreensão e o papel destes conceitos para al-Afġhānī, e se com isto buscava refutar, adaptar ou absorver a modernidade europeia. O resultado desta dissertação compreende que o Pan-islamismo de al-Afġhānī é, na verdade, o reencontro do islã com antigas tradições, a tentativa de retorno a um passado ideal e uma forma de compreensão do tempo histórico do Islã.This master's thesis aims to analyze the approximations between the European concept of “modernity” and that of “Pan-Islamism” formulated by the Iranian author Sayyid Jamāl al-Dīn al-Afġhānī (1838/39 - 1897) and defended in his newspaper al'Urwa al-Wuṯqà published between March and October 1884, as well as other brief articles written in the French newspaper L'Intrasigeant in 1883. The context of the birth of pan-Islamism is that of the advance of European colonialism and imperialism over Asia, accompanied by the ideals of modernity. The result of this encounter had several consequences for both the Arab and Muslim worlds, for example, a new movement of cultural, social, political and economic renewal called Nahḍa (Renaissance) emerged. In the religious field, the thinker Jamāl al-Dīn al-Afġhānī, observing the imperialist advance on the East, began to act politically for the union of Muslim peoples through faith, Pan-Islamism. The dissertation seeks to understand whether modern ideals such as “nation”, “civilization” and “progress” appear in the articles of these newspapers, as well as to examine the understanding and role of these concepts for al-Afġhānī, and whether with this he sought to refute, adapt or absorb European modernity. The result of this dissertation is that al-Afġhānī's Pan-Islamism is, in fact, Islam's reunion with ancient traditions, an attempt to return to an ideal past and a way of understanding Islam's historical time
The regulation of labour and the state in the Sudan : a study of the relationship between the stage of social and economic development and the autonomy of labour relations law
No full textThe thesis is a study of labour regulation and the State in the
Sudan in the light of a general theoretical conception of labour law and
the State. The first Chapter defines the concepts of analysis that are
used throughout the study, isolates the "essential" properties of the
Capitalist State and Law from the historically concrete forms which they
assume in a particular society and distinguishes between processes which
influence development of the form of law and others which influence its
sociological development. Drawing on the analysis in Chapter I, Chapter
II exposes the inter-relationship between the Sudanese social formation,
State and Law and the implication of this inter-relationship for both the
form and substance of labour relations law. Chapters III, IV and V are
specific verifications of the hypothesis regarding the inter-relationship
between the State and labour relations law in the Sudan and that
regarding the development of the "substance" and "ideology" of law in
general.
The thesis considers law as an empirically-founded discipline.
But, it distinguishes between various types of empirical facts about law
corresponding with respective semi-autonomous social levels at which law
asserts its existence. The research method followed describes the
empirical facts about law at the particular level and, in order to
determine the epistemological significance of these facts, analytically
relates them to empirical facts at other levels. Wherever used in the
thesis the term "theory" signifies either this methodological procedure of
analysing the inter-connection of empirical facts at a certain level and
their inter-relation with other facts at other levels, or the substantive
generalizations about law which findings at these various levels would
allow.
I consider my application of this methodology to the study of
labour rela tions law, the historical dimension this application introduces
in socio-economic analysis of this law, the criticism of certain Marxist
and other sociological conceptions of law it enables, and the
socio-histor ical relativity of the "substance" and "ideology" of law it
reveals as original contributions to the knowledge of labour law. The
compilation and evaluation within the framework of the thesis of
empirical materials on industrial relations in the Sudan are likewise
original contribution to the knowledge of Sudanese "labour law" and
labour law in general
