Abstract:
Every year billion kilograms of unused feathers result from the poultry industry worldwide, which in effect impose a difficult disposal process to the environment. Chicken feathers are considered as a valuable and renewable keratin protein source, which could be used advantageously in a number of applications as alternatives to feather meal and feather disposal. Although the potential applications of keratin derived from chicken feathers have been investigated, the initial purification phase has not been fully described in the literature. Original chicken feathers contain many biological organisms along with other contaminants after plucking. Unprocessed chicken feathers are considered as potentially hazardous biological materials due to the presence of blood borne pathogens; therefore, the decontamination process is very important. The purpose of this work is to compare the effects of different purification techniques on chicken feathers prior to keratin isolation. These processes include surfactant washing, soxhlet extraction with ethanol, ozone, and sodium chlorite solutions. Thermogravimetric analysis, vibrational spectroscopy, and wide angle X-ray scattering were used to characterise the purified feathers prior to keratin extraction.

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: Siddha medicine is a system of traditional medicine originating in ancient tamilnadu in south India. In siddha literature gunapadam - thathu jeeva vaguppu by Dr.R. Thiyagarajan, 40 types of feathers are indicated as medicine for various diseases. Feathers are unique feature to birds and it constitute over 90% of protein and composed of two types of keratins - alpha and beta. Chicken feathers are the waste product of poultry industry which creates a major solid waste problem. Disposal of this waste is a global environment problem, therefore finding the right and effective way to use this will be one of the greatest supports for eco-friendly environment. So, this study is taken to analyse “NAATU KOZHI IRAGU PARPAM” to use feathers in an effective way through traditional method with siddha literature evidence. OBJECTIVE: To analyse NAATU KOZHI IRAGU PARPAM by ICP – OES. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The ingredients such as country fowls feather and karisalai juice were used. The drug was prepared as per siddha literature Gunapadam- thathu jeeva vaguppu. RESULT AND CONCLUSION: ICP – OES analysis indicates the presence of elements in NAATU KOZHI IRAGU PARPAM with their concentration, this forms the basic foundation to further clinical research which will be followed by the identification of the various activities of NAATU KOZHI IRAGU PARPAM. Keywords: ICP – OES, Iragu parpam, Sinusitis, chicken feather.

Abstract:
Moult of the Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola L.), possibilities of age determination based on the feather. This study summarises the most important data in the literature on the feather changing of woodcock. This is supported by a set of recommendations for an easy-to-use field practice, summarising the typical age stamps by age group. This is an important topic, because there is no detailed literature available in Hungarian on feather changing and age determination for domestic practice. For ringing work in Hungary and for the analysis of data sets evaluated by sex and age in wildlife studies, the age of birds is an indispensable knowledge, but in this respect, it is sufficient to distinguish between adult and juvenile specimens, and a finer-scale grouping is not common practice in Hungarian woodcock research, although the criteria for this classification are also presented in this paper for the sake of completeness. The distinction between juvenile and adult age classes is based on the degree of moulting, and the examination of this for each group of feathers in the wing, for which the following stamps should be considered: In juvenile specimens, the large upper wing coverts are short and narrow, with a typically dull reddish-brown to brownish tint, the black parts also dull, and the down at the base of the feathers less developed. In juvenile secondaries, the rusty, cinnamon-brown striping near the shaft of the feather is distally pointed and reduced to a triangular dark patch. The characteristic light spot on the underside of the tail-feathers is a dull shade of greyish white, with a more diffuse light brown pattern than on the adult plumage. (Figure 5). First-year birds can be distinguished from older birds by the wear and shape of the tips of the 8th to 10th primaries, which are not shed during juvenile moulting. In addition to their weariness, it should be noted that they are distinctly pointed, not concave, and their edges are usually not bone-coloured. Primaries have a wide edge (1,5-2,5 mm), which is usually the same brownish colour as the ridge pattern. The contrast can be stark for the greater coverts, because birds that hatch early in the breeding season have time to shed all the greater coverts before the autumn migration, so these feathers already reflect adult characteristics. During the first wintering, the tips of the 5th and 6th primaries are slightly convex, and the wing covers have a sugar-loaf tip. The light patch at the base of the tail-feathers is white at this stage, the brown pattern is well defined and not diffuse. Adults moult between July and September (primaries, secondaries, tertials and tail-feathers), so their plumage is free from wear in autumn and winter, compared to the worn, poorer condition of the first-year birds with unmoulted feathers. The tip of the 5th and 6th primaries in adult birds is broadly flattened and slightly concave. The tips of primaries have narrow edges (<1,5 mm), usually white with a bone colour. All greater upper-wing coverts are reddish brown. and light brown with a light pattern. Fairly long and broad, with well-developed down at the base. The greater under-wing coverts (typically the primary coverts of primaries and secondaries) are greyish with broad, “angular” tips. Occasionally adults do not fully shed juvenile wing feathers, so these can also be seen in second-year birds (Figure 6).

Abstract:
The circovirus (BFDV) and the avian polyomavirus (APV) are common viral agents that threaten parrots in captivity. The first APV infection in birds has been described in young Australian budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus), being since associated with high mortality and morbidity in other psittacines. The BFDV is the causative agent of beak and feathers disease, which occurs almost exclusively in psittacines, birds from the order Psittaciformes, especially in aviaries, quarantine facilities and pet stores. Both diseases cause feather alterations, nonspecific clinical signs and sudden death. The similarity of the clinical presentation of these agents makes it difficult to obtain a diagnosis without laboratory results. This paper reviews the literature on these viroses and compares both diseases.

Abstract:
The specifics of the processing of livestock and poultry products is that in the process of obtaining the main marketable products, about half the feedstock at various stages of the technological process turns into waste that pollutes the environment. These by-products contain large amounts of the hard-to-digest keratin protein. The use of specific enzymes capable of degrading this protein helps not only to reduce the negative anthropogenic impact on nature but also to obtain valuable hydrolysates that can be used as a fertilizer for plants or a feed additive. The aim of this work was to study the ability of Bacillus megaterium UCM B-5710 to split various keratin-containing substrates: black and white chicken feathers, white turkey feathers, parrot feathers of various colors, sheep wool, pig bristles, and baby hair and nails. Methods. The culture was grown under conditions of submerged cultivation at 40 °C, with a nutrient medium stirring rate of 201 rpm for 6 days. For growth, a basic nutrient medium containing 0.5% defatted chicken feathers or other keratin-containing substrates as sole sources of carbon and nitrogen were used. Keratinase activity was assessed by UV absorption at 280 nm of hydrolysis products of keratin-containing raw materials. Protein was determined by the Lowry method, caseinolytic (total proteolytic) activity was determined by the Anson method modified by Petrova, and amino acid content was determined by the ninhydrin method. The degree of hydrolysis of the substrates was evaluated by the ratio of the initial and final weight of the substrate. Results. It was shown that the synthesis of keratinase by the culture of B. megaterium UCM B-5710 begins from the 6th hour of cultivation. The level of protein and proteolytic activity and the content of amino acids increased throughout the entire period of culture growth. The supernatant of the culture liquid of B. megaterium UCM B-5710 was most effective in splitting white chicken’s and turkey’s feathers, a little slower — feathers of black chicken and blue parrots, as well as wool of white sheep. According to the degree of splitting, the substrates used can be arranged in the following order: white turkey feathers > white chicken feathers > black chicken feathers > blue parrot feathers > white sheep wool > baby nails > pig bristle > baby hair. The study of the effect of feather color on the resistance to decomposition showed that black, blue, and red feathers are more resistant, which coincides with the literature data. Conclusions. B. megaterium UCM B-5710 produces keratinase capable of splitting both α- and β-keratins, however, with different efficiencies and rates.

"A Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Unveils the Mechanisms of Response in Feather Degradation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa Gxun-7."

Abstract:
Microbial degradation of feathers offers potential for bioremediation, yet the microbial response mechanisms warrant additional investigation. In prior work, Pseudomonas aeruginosa Gxun-7, which demonstrated robust degradation of feathers at elevated concentrations, was isolated. However, the molecular mechanism of this degradation remains only partially understood. To investigate this, we used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to examine the genes that were expressed differentially in P. aeruginosa Gxun-7 when exposed to 25 g/L of feather substrate. The RNA-seq analysis identified 5571 differentially expressed genes; of these, 795 were upregulated and 603 were downregulated. Upregulated genes primarily participated in proteolysis, amino acid, and pyruvate metabolism. Genes encoding proteases, as well as those involved in sulfur metabolism, phenazine synthesis, and type VI secretion systems, were notably elevated, highlighting their crucial function in feather decomposition. Integration of Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) taxonomies, combined with a review of the literature, led us to propose that metabolic feather degradation involves environmental activation, reducing agent secretion, protease release, peptide/amino acid uptake, and metabolic processes. Sulfite has emerged as a critical activator of keratinase catalysis, while cysteine serves as a regulatory mediator. qRT–PCR assay results for 11 selected gene subset corroborated the RNA-seq findings. This study enhances our understanding of the transcriptomic responses of P. aeruginosa Gxun-7 to feather degradation and offers insights into potential degradation mechanisms, thereby aiding in the formulation of effective feather waste management strategies in poultry farming.

Abstract:
Although keratinophilic fungi on avian feathers have been widely described, data from European literature are quite lacking regarding Mediterranean countries. The aim of the present study was therefore to evaluate the occurrence of fungal species on feathers of different avian species in Italy. A total of 378 feather samples from both aquatic (n = 254) and terrestrial birds (n = 124), for a total of 30 bird species, were cultured for keratinophilic fungi. Fungal isolates were recognized by their macro- and micro-scopical morphology, and results were corroborated by PCR and sequencing. Keratinophilic fungi belonging to 11 different species (Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, Chrysosporium keratinophilum, Trichophyton terrestre, Microsporum gypseum, Sepedonium sp., Chrysosporium pannorum, Myriodontium sp., Chrysosporium tropicum, Chrysosporium pruinosum, Chrysosporium luteum and Aphanoascus fulvescens) were isolated from 71 animals (18.8%). The frequency of isolation of keratinophilic species from terrestrial birds was significantly higher in waterfowl. Migratory birds in Italy have been proven to carry pathogenic fungi such as dermatophytes, (A. platyrhyncos, A. crecca, E. rubecula), besides saprophytic species.

Abstract:
Feathers is a young adult novel about two knucklehead boys and a summer of mischief they share. Boots and Gopher, the two principal characters in Feathers, are twelve-year old boys who are fascinated by a loft of racing pigeons kept by a peculiar man living on the edge of their small town. The fascination leads them to steal a few pairs of pigeons in hopes of generating their own loft. Their plan is to release the adult pigeons back to the man's loft while Boots and Gopher keep the babies. In stealing the pigeons, they discover the man also houses falcons and hawks. Gopher becomes obsessed with falcons and begins a study of falconry. The obsession overrides better judgment and federal law, and the boys also steal a small kestrel falcon. They don't realize the gravity of the situation until a "wanted" poster is put up at the local feed store letting people know that a federal law has been broken. The story continues with the resolution of this conflict and the relationship that is developed between the young men and the old falconer. It is a story about consequences of seemingly simple acts; it also explores relationships between the boys and their parents, and between the boys and an unlikely mentor.

Abstract:
Although there have been many postcolonial studies of the portrayals of Native American characters in children’s and young adult literature, the majority of these have focused on historical novels, rather than analysing fantasy literature. Additionally, I have found no direct comparisons between texts by Native and non-Native authors, and the impact of authorship on the representations of American Indian characters. I believe that a study of this area of literature is important, as it will serve to examine how the portrayal of Native characters in texts varies depending on the insider or outsider experience of the author. In my thesis, using critical theory around Gothic, gender and queer studies, I analyse three examples of young adult fantasy literature; the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer, the Tantalize series by Cynthia Leitich Smith, and the novel Wolf Mark by Joseph Bruchac. In the first chapter, I study the texts’ portrayals of Native American spiritual beliefs, comparing Meyer’s use of Quileute legends to bolster her series’ mythology with Bruchac’s reinterpretation of Abenaki beliefs in Wolf Mark. In the next chapter, I focus on the role of Christianity in the novels, considering historical contexts of missionary movements and colonisation. Chapter Three analyses the novels from a gender studies perspective, considering the racialised representations of masculinity and femininity in the texts, while Chapter Four studies the theme of sexuality in the novels. Finally, in the fifth chapter, I look at postcolonial Gothic space in the novels, and its connections to frontiers and borders, both physical and psychic. ii As a result of my research, I discovered that the Quileute characters in Meyer’s novels correspond with images of Native peoples as ‘savage’ and animalistic, with Native men portrayed as violent and sexually threatening, and Native women as pitiable and subordinate. Her focus on the ‘treaty line’ established by the vampires, and the ‘civilising process’ the main Quileute character Jacob undergoes during his time with the Cullen family, perpetuate colonialist narratives. By contrast, Leitich Smith and Bruchac write against these stereotypes. Bruchac focuses directly on Abenaki characters, writing from an insider perspective that allows him to create a nuanced, non-stereotypical portrayal of a Native protagonist. Although Leitich Smith does not write directly about Native characters or cultures, her representations of gender, sexuality and race correspond with a counter-colonialist perspective. My direct comparison of texts by Native and non-Native authors shows that an author writing from an outsider perspective is far more likely to use stereotypical portrayals of American Indian characters and cultures than an author with an insider perspective of a Native culture. It also indicates that young adult fantasy literature, with its emphasis on the boundaries between childhood and adulthood, can be used as a site for both conservative and radical narratives on colonialism and postcolonialism.

Full text
Abstract:
In this dissertation I examine how skin, both human and non-human, was defined and represented on stage in the medieval English cycle plays, and more importantly how those material representations both reflected and transformed medieval understandings of skin and its relationship to the body. I consider how the creators of the medieval English cycle plays dramatized and expanded upon medieval readings of skin as a changeable and transformative outer covering that not only altered the body's physical shape but also defined its essential nature, demarcating the limits of human identity. I propose that skin was used both explicitly and implicitly throughout the cycles as a means of defining and distinguishing human bodies, and that this use enhanced the cycles' larger exploration of the creation, fall, and salvation of mankind. In addition to close readings of the play texts, I also draw on theatre history and production records to tease out an understanding of how the various types of skin depicted on stage were materially represented, as the necessities of theatrical staging required certain alterations and created a space for problematizing accepted readings and traditions. I argue that readings of skin as a literal covering and as a figurative garment regularly became conflated on stage, and the theatre's necessarily literal presentation of bodily change often amplified the metaphorical meanings. While in the gospels the Resurrection is a mystery that can be believed without being seen, on stage it must be embodied and a tangible representation of Jesus Christ's transformed body and skin depicted. In determining ways to present this body of Christ-as-divinity on stage, as well as the other human and non-human bodies within the plays, the medieval cycle producers fashioned outer skins that reflected traditional conceptions, yet also re-shaped and deepened their audiences' understanding. Ultimately, I argue that both the language of the plays and the material representations demonstrate and support a theological reading of skin as a permeable and changeable border between human and non-human, body and soul, and mortality and immortality that delineates not only the limits of the human body but of human identity itself.

Abstract:
Abstract The book concludes with a Coda organized around the question that lingered during the writing of this book: Why study the antebellum Jew now? One important answer was offered in the White supremacist “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville in August 2017, an event punctuated by chants of “Jews will not replace us!” The Coda provides a comparative reading of the Charlottesville march and a text famous for its depiction of revolutionary violence: Hawthorne’s short story, “My Kinsman, Major Molineux” (1832). The central argument is that at both the march and in the political upheaval staged in the story, social ambivalence is projected onto the “phantom Jew” of the US imagination. In Charlottesville, the chants of the marchers make this obvious. In “Molineux,” we see a more subtle version of this same figure: the mysterious man leading the colonial rioters who tar and feather the eponymous Major Molineux. Represented in ways that dovetail with depictions of the sensational Jew during this period, this character is a Jew in all but name. Accordingly, like the sensational Jew of the antebellum period, he is the projected, inside-out figure of both ambivalence (social chaos) and loss (the longing for communal connection). Then as now, it seems, the sensational Jew acts as a figure onto whom US Gentile culture projects many of its deepest social fears and most profound feelings of insufficiency.

Abstract:
Libraries and archives have always been major information sources for the history, culture and literature of regional communities. It is quite natural that in an increasingly electronic world, these rich collections are becoming available in digital form. Digital libraries permit local materials to be made available to a wide public, where they become a significant feature in the dissemination of regional culture (Love & Feather, 1998). Locally oriented digital libraries deal with specific communities, regions or states. The relationship is clear in this definition, published by the Washington-based Council on Library and Information Resources: Digital libraries are organizations that provide the resources, including the specialized staff, to select, structure, offer intellectual access to, interpret, distribute, preserve the integrity of, and ensure the persistence over time of collections of digital works so that they are readily and economically available for use by a defined community or set of communities.
