Dead-in-shell positions of near-term ostrich embryos
No full textCITATION: Brand, Z., Cloete, S. W. P. & Malecki, I. A. 2017. Dead-in-shell positions of near-term ostrich embryos. South African Journal of Animal Science, 47(1):2-6, doi:10.4314/sajas.v47i1.2.The original publication is available at http://www.sasas.co.zaThe patterns of embryonic development in ostriches, especially in the last stage of hatching, are still not well understood. This study examined between 3468 and 3484 dead-in-shell (DIS) eggs with chicks that died between day 35 and day 42 of artificial incubation. Most DIS chicks were positioned correctly with their heads towards the air cell (52.6%). DIS chicks that positioned their heads near the equator of the egg amounted to 46.5%, while a small percentage (0.9%) were positioned with their upper body towards the bottom of the egg. More DIS chicks tended to pip internally near the equator of the egg (37.6%) than DIS chicks that pipped internally through the membranes into the air cell (34.4%). Most DIS chicks had their heads turned in the correct position from left to right (54.4%), though their beaks were mostly positioned towards the air cell (52.9%). The highest percentage of DIS chicks had their feet in the upwards position (52.4%), while 46% had their feet across or below the head. The wings of all DIS chicks were positioned next to the body. Results from the study showed that most of the DIS chicks were roughly in the correct position, but were still unable to hatch. This warrants future research to investigate the reasons that prevent correctly positioned chicks from hatching.http://www.sasas.co.za/dead-shell-positions-near-term-ostrich-embryosPublisher's versio
Search for triboson production in collisions at TeV with the ATLAS detector
No full textSee paper for full list of authors - Comments: 39 pages in total, author list starting page 23, 5 figures, 7 tables, submitted to European Physics Journal C, All figures including auxiliary figures are available at https://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/STDM-2015-07/International audienceThis paper reports a search for triboson production in two decay channels ( and with ) in proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with exactly three charged leptons, or two leptons with the same electric charge in association with two jets, are selected. The total number of events observed in data is consistent with the Standard Model (SM) predictions. The observed 95 % confidence level upper limit on the SM production cross section is found to be 730 fb with an expected limit of 560 fb in the absence of SM production. Limits are also set on anomalous quartic gauge couplings
Sperm storage and duration of fertility in female ostriches (Struthio camelus)
No full textCITATION: Malecki, I. A. 2004. Sperm storage and duration of fertility in female ostriches (Struthio camelus). South African Journal of Animal Science, 34(3):158-165.The original publication is available at https://www.sasas.co.zaIn two experiments, one carried in South Africa and the other in Western Australia, the duration of sperm storage and the fertile period following separation of sexes were investigated by egg break-out and by counting the sperm in the perivitelline membrane (spermOPVL) above the germinal disc (GD) region. Fertilisation status was determined by the appearance of the GD. The perivitelline membrane above the GD was collected to count sperm under fluorescence following staining with 4′,6′-diamidino-2-phenyindole (DAPI). In both experiments, after the males were removed, the rate of lay declined by about 50% within a week. Following separation, spermOPVL were detected for up to four weeks and fertilised eggs were laid for nearly the same duration. The loss of sperm followed an approximately logarithmic function and sperm numbers declined at rates similar to that of the turkey. Since the duration of sperm storage was longer than indicated by clutch duration, ostrich clutch size might be larger than reported or female ostriches might store sperm for up to two clutches. Fertilisation rate in ostrich eggs is high because most eggs contain excessive numbers of sperm and very low numbers of sperm appear sufficient to achieve fertilisation.https://www.sasas.co.za/journals/sperm-storage-and-duration-of-fertility-in-female-ostriches-struthio-camelus/Publisher's versio
Ethnic diversity and social capital of the Podlaskie voivodeship
No full textPurpose – An assessment of the level of social capital in the context of ethnic diversity using the example of the Podlaskie voivodeship. Furthermore, showing the relationship between social capital and local and regional development.Research method – Quantitative and comparative analyses of selected indicators of the surveyed terri-torial units (powiats of the Podlaskie Voivodeship) while maintaining the criterion of ethnic diversity. Data from the Central Statistical Office (Local Data Bank) and the National Electoral Commission for the period 2010-2018 were used.Results – The level of social capital is higher in multi-ethnic powiats, in particular as far as the civic dimension is concerned, which is measured by the use of passive and active voting rights. Similarly, the number of foundations, associations and social organizations per 1,000 inhabitants is higher in multi-ethnic powiats. As far as the level of entrepreneurship is concerned, the majority of powiats of diversi-fied nationalities is insignificant, while single-nation powiats have higher rates in relation to member-ship in sports clubs.Originality / value / implications / recommendations – A thesis which is popular in the subject literature that ethnically diverse areas are characterized by lower social capital is not true in the case of the Podlaskie voivodeship, in which ethnic groups have been present for centuries. Consequently, it may be assumed that ethnic diversity has a negative impact on the level of social capital only [email protected] of Economics and Finance, University of BialystokAbłażewicz-Górnicka U., 2012, Zróżnicowanie etniczno-kulturowe a kapitał społeczny.

Measurement of vector-boson scattering and limits on anomalous quartic gauge couplings with the ATLAS detector
No full textSee paper for full list of authors - 49 pages in total, author list starting page 33, 13 figures, 12 tables, submitted to Physical Review D, all figures including auxiliary figures are available at https://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/STDM-2014-05/International audienceThis paper presents the extended results of measurements of W±W±jj production and limits on anomalous quartic gauge couplings using 20.3 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at s√=8 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with two leptons (e or μ) with the same electric charge and at least two jets are analyzed. Production cross-sections are determined in two fiducial regions, with different sensitivities to the electroweak and strong production mechanisms. An additional fiducial region, particularly sensitive to anomalous quartic gauge coupling parameters α4 and α5, is introduced, which allows more stringent limits on these parameters compared to the previous ATLAS measurement
Sound Pressure Level Analysis of Commercials and Regular Programs
No full textPopularity of television and multitude of commercials during the TV broadcast lead to the analysis of its sound levels. Costs of commercials' time cause producers to make commercials much louder than a regular TV program. The article shows results of commercials and regular program sound level (RMS and FFT) analysis and the difference in sound levels of commercials compared to a regular program. The analysis also shows the difference between public and private TV. The authors of the article suggest a solution to this problem and its effects
Assessment of selected food intake frequency in patients with type 1 diabetes treated with personal insulin pumps
No full textWprowadzenie. Uważa się, że w cukrzycy typu 1 (T1DM), niezależnie od zastosowanego modelu insulinoterapii, dieta
i prawidłowe nawyki żywieniowe są kluczowe w leczeniu cukrzycy. Stosowanie odpowiedniej diety ma na celu utrzymanie
prawidłowej masy ciała, uzyskanie prawidłowego poziomu glukozy we krwi po posiłku, optymalnego profil lipidowy
i prawidłowe wartości ciśnienia krwi.
Cel. Celem badania była ocena diety i kontrola metaboliczna w homogennej grupie osób dorosłych z T1DM leczonych
osobistymi pompami insulinowymi.
Materiał i metody: Badaniem objęto 141 dorosłych pacjentów (57% kobiet) z cukrzycą typu 1 leczonych osobistymi
pompami insulinowymi. Badana populacja charakteryzowała się średnim wiekiem 25,8 ± 6,2 lat, średnim czasem trwania
cukrzycy 13,9 ± 6,9 lat oraz średnim czasem leczenia osobistą pompą przez 8,2 ± 4,1 lat i średnim BMI 23,0 ± 2,8 g /
m2. Wszyscy byli mieszkańcami południowo-wschodniej Polski. Walidowany kwestionariusz KomPAN wykorzystano do
oceny częstotliwości spożycia poszczególnych produktów spożywczych.
Wyniki. Średni odsetek HbA1c w grupie badanej wynosił 7,3% [56 mmol/mol]. Średni poziom całkowitego cholesterolu
wynosił 4,4 mmol / l, HDL - 1,7 mmol / l, LDL - 2,3 mmol / l i triglicerydów - 0,8 mmol / l. W modelu regresji wielorakiej
nie stwierdzono korelacji między wskaźnikami diety i wyrównaniem metabolicznym mierzonym za pomocą HbA1c lub
lipidogramu oraz miejscem zamieszkania (wieś, małe miasteczko, duże miasto). Jednak różnice w jakości diety zależały od płci. Kobiety charakteryzowały się wyższym wskaźnikiem zdrowej diety (pHDI-10) (26,3 vs 21,4, p = 0,005) i niższym
wskaźnikiem niezdrowej diety (nHDI-14) (13,3 vs 18,6, p <0,001) niż mężczyźni.
Wnioski: Wyniki tego badania wyraźnie wskazują, że pomimo dobrej kontroli metabolicznej pacjenci wymagają większej
edukacji w zakresie wyboru zdrowych grup produktów.Background. It has been established that in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), regardless of the insulin therapy model
used, diet and proper eating habits are still important in the treatment of the disease. The dietary intervention in these
patients is aimed at maintaining proper body weight, obtaining target fasting and post meal blood glucose levels,
optimizing lipid profiles.
Objective. The aim of the study was to assess dietary habits in a homogeneous group of adults with T1DM treated with
personal insulin pumps.
Material and methods. The study included 141 adult patients (57% women) with type 1 diabetes treated with personal
insulin pumps. The surveyed population was characterized by an average age of 25.8 ± 6.2 years, an average duration of
diabetes 13.9 ± 6.9 years, and treatment with a personal pump for 8.2 ± 4.1 years and mean BMI 23.0 ± 2.8 g/m2
. All were
dwellers of south-eastern Poland. The validated KomPAN questionnaire was used to assess the frequency of consumption
of individual food products.
Results. The mean percentage of HbA1c in the study group was 7.3% [56 mmol/mol]. The mean total cholesterol level
was 4.4 mmol/l, HDL - 1.7 mmol/l, LDL - 2.3 mmol/l and triglycerides - 0.8 mmol/l. In the multivariate regression
model, no correlation was found between dietary quality parameters and metabolic compensation measured with HbA1c or
lipidogram and the place of residence (village, small town, big city). However, there were differences in the quality of the
diet depending on the sex. Women were characterized by higher index of a healthy diet (pHDI-10) (26.3 vs 21.4, p=0.005)
and lower index of unhealthy diet (nHDI-14) (13.3 vs 18.6, p <0.001) than men.
Conclusions. The results of this study clearly suggest, that despite good metabolic control, patients require more education
on the choice of healthy product groups
