Resumen
Positive results have been obtained in the implementation of our research at the Livestock and Equestrian Training Center of ADAU on the basis of the recipes we have envisaged, along with the strong feed component, the feed norm and the share of feed in the required norm. The introduction of fully balanced feedings based on recipes has affected the milk yield of animals, as well as the fertility of cows, in addition to strengthening the dynamics of growth and development of young. One of the most widely used premixes on our farm is Ruminant-5322 Ekomix BKB, which has a high efficiency with the following saturation. A premix is a complementary feed mixture that is necessary for its composition and body and is essential to create a fully balanced feed portion. Depending on the abundance of feed available on the farm, it is possible to maintain a complete diet depending on the physiological state of the animals. On the basis of this nutrition, the dynamics of the growth of young animals, the normal development of the child in the womb during the drying period and the formation of the mother's reproductive cycle on demand are determined. Fertility activation is associated not only with the formation of 65 to 80 days in cows, but also with the stabilization of the follicles and the achievement of a form of superovulation. In our research, we found this not only in healthy cows, but also in cows that had difficult labor. Of the 18 cows on the farm, three gave birth to twins, which means that 16.7% of the cows gave birth to twins. Key words: Balanced feed, genotype, male, offspring, growth, variability, productivity

Resumen
An experiment was conducted with a total of 168 mink (Mustela vison) of the standard black genotype to determine the effects of dietary silver hake (Merluccius bilinearis), silver hake silage and herring (Clupea harengus) on the growing-furring performance. There were seven dietary groups. The control diet (CONTROL) contained 40% haddock offal, 8% poultry offal, 15% beef tripe and lungs, 5% corn gluten meal, 12% extruded wheat, 0.4% vitamin-mineral premix, and water. Test diets were made by replacing the fish offal with 15 or 30% hake (HAKE 15, HAKE 30), hake silage (SILAGE 15, SILAGE 30) or with 40% herring (HERRING 40). The last dietary group (HERR/CONT) was fed alternatingly with the CONTROL or the HERRING 40 diets. The animals in the HERRING 40 group developed anorexia after 2 wk on the test diet and were injected with vitamin B complex. The diet was supplemented with thiamin, 25 mg kg−1 feed. This restored appetite and supported normal growing-furring performance. Mink fed HAKE 30 diet had a lower weight gain from weaning until pelting (males 814 ± 58.0 g, females 366 ± 53.6 g) than the CONTROL (males 987 ± 61.9 g, females 429 ± 52.1 g)(P < 0.05). Blood haemoglobin (Hb) values for all groups were on average 178 ± 4.4 g L−1 in September and 184 ± 7.0 g L−1in October, i.e. well above the critical level to prevent the development of cotton fur. However, the total amount of iron stored in spleen and liver was lower for the HAKE 30 (562.1 ± 85.1 µg) and SILAGE 30 (435.9 ± 77.7 µg) groups than in the CONTROL (800.7 ± 77.7 µg) (P < 0.05) possibly indicating impaired absorption. No signs of poor pigment development were seen in the underfur of the winter pelage. Both silver hake and herring show good potential as alternative feedstuffs in growing-furring diets for mink. At high inclusion levels the effects of thiaminase enzyme in herring and the iron-binding trimethylamine oxide in silver hake should be accounted for. Key words: Mink, herring, thiamin, silver hake, fish silage, iron

Resumen
A production trial was carried out with 120 mink (Mustela vison) of standard genotype to demonstrate the effects of dogfish (DF) and dogfish silage (DFS) on growth and fur development from weaning until pelting. The experimental treatments were 1) Control, 2) DF15%, 3) DF30%, 4) DF45%, 5) DFS15%, and 6) DFS30%. The test ingredients were used to replace the haddock-herring (35%:10%) mixture in the Control diet at percentage levels indicated by the diet group designation. The rest of the diet was compounded of 10% beef tripe and lungs, 8% poultry offal, 10% cereal, 5% corn gluten meal, 0–2% vegetable oil, 0.4% vitamin-mineral premix and water. All diets guaranteed the females normal body weight gain during the trial. The males receiving the dogfish test diets had significantly poorer growth compared with the males in the Control group. Two males of the DF30% group also developed rickets. The incidence of cotton fur syndrome in the experimental groups was: Control, 0/20; DF15%, 6/20; DF30%, 7/17; DF45%, 0/19; DFS15%, 2/18; and DFS30%, 3/17 pelts produced. Acid ensiling of dogfish was shown to reduce the incidence of cotton fur in the mink but also produced an increased trend in the occurrence of enteritis in the females. Based on the haematology results and tissue iron store analysis, impaired iron metabolism was demonstrated in the DF15-30% and DFS15-30% groups. It can be concluded that the anti-nutritional factor, trimethylamine oxide (TMAO), present in dogfish reduced iron absorption in most of the experimental groups and resulted in disturbances in the fur development of the mink. The absence of cotton fur in the DF45% group is likely due to greater ammonia formation in the feed thus preventing TMAO degradation by triamine oxidase. The improved iron store status in the mink fed the DF45% diet compared with the Control and other dogfish test groups may be explained by the chelating effect of polyamines on iron consequently enhancing its absorption. Key words: Anaemia, cotton fur, trimethylamine oxide, TMAO, nutrition

Resumen
Abstract Key mechanisms important for the simulation and better understanding of the precipitation of the North American monsoon (NAM) were analyzed in this paper. Three experiments with the Providing Regional Climates for Impacts Studies (PRECIS) regional climate model, the Hadley Centre Regional Model version 3P (HadRM3P), driven by different boundary conditions were carried out. After a detailed analysis of the moisture and low-level winds derived from the models, the authors conclude that the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) moisture and the Great Plains low-level jet (GPLLJ) play an important role in the northern portion of the NAM. Moreover, the realistic simulation of these features is necessary for a better simulation of precipitation in the NAM. Previous works suggest that the influence of moisture from the GoM in Arizona–New Mexico (AZNM) takes place primarily via the middle- and upper-tropospheric flow (above 700 mb). However, it is shown here that if the GoM does not supply enough moisture and the GPLLJ at lower levels (below 700 mb) does not reach the AZNM region, then a dry westerly flow dominates that area and the summer precipitation is below normal. The implications of these findings for studies of climate change are demonstrated with the analysis of two general circulation models (GCMs) commonly used for climate change prediction, which are shown not to reproduce correctly the GPLLJ intensity nor the moisture in the GoM. This implies that the precipitation in AZNM would not be correctly represented by a regional model driven by these GCMs.

Resumen
This reference grammar of Gothic includes much history along with a description of Gothic grammar. Apart from runic inscriptions, Gothic is the earliest attested language of the Germanic family in Indo-European. Specifically, it is East Germanic. Most of the extant Gothic corpus is a 4th-century translation of the Bible, traditionally ascribed to Wulfila. This translation is historically important because it antedates Jerome’s Latin Vulgate. Gothic inflectional categories include nouns, adjectives, and verbs. Nouns are inflected for three genders, two numbers, and four cases. Adjectives also have weak and strong forms, as do verbs. Verbs are inflected for three persons and numbers, indicative and nonindicative mood (here called optative), past and nonpast tense, and voice. The mediopassive survives as a synthetic passive and syntactically in innovated periphrastic formations. Middle and anticausative functions were taken over by simple reflexive structures. Nonfinite are the infinitive, the imperative, and two participles. Gothic was a null subject language. Aspect was effected primarily by prefixes, relativization by relative pronouns built on demonstratives plus a complementizer. Complementizers were the norm with subordinated verbs in the indicative or optative. Switch to the optative was triggered by irrealis (the unreal), matrix verbs that do not permit a full range of subordinate tenses (e.g. hopes, wishes), potentiality, and alternate worlds. Many of these are also relevant to matrix clauses (independent optatives). Essentials of linearization include prepositional phrases, default postposed genitives and possessive adjectives, and preposed demonstratives. Verb-object order predominates, but there is considerable variation. Verb-auxiliary order is native Gothic.

Resumen
This chapter discusses resistance against Herod. There are three occasions in Josephus’ works where Jews prefer death over subjection to Herod. These are normally understood as heroic episodes, and it is likely that Josephus intended them to be understood this way. However, detailed analysis uncovers an underlying layer of mockery: Nicolaus seems to have included these episodes from three different stages of Herod’s life (his fight for the throne, the middle of his reign, and his very last days) to show what sort of irrational opposition the king (and Nicolaus himself) constantly had to deal with. This not only justified Herod’s descent into tyranny, but also allowed Nicolaus’ readers a glimpse into the limits of Roman rule: some people just won’t learn.

Resumen
The discovery of periodicity in the properties of the elements and its connection to their atomic weights is one of the most important advances in nineteenth-century chemistry. This chapter will consider the tables of John Newlands (1837–1898) and William Odling (1829–1921), which preceded that of Dmitrii Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834–1907). Mendeleev’s table was published in 1869, prior to his being aware of the UK precedents of his tabulation. The major portion of this chapter will extend the ideas advanced by Stephen Brush in The Reception of Mendeleev’s Periodic Law in America and Britain but will restrict itself to the dissemination of the periodicity concept within the United Kingdom. This will be monitored by recording its appearances in textbooks and examination papers, and in a wider context, by extracting data from Google Books. The periodic table has a rich history since its inception. It has evolved into many shapes, and indeed dimensions, yet retaining its essential periodic underpinning. In the United Kingdom it is seen as a “table,” whereas the French prefer “classification” and the Germans and Russians “system.” Mendeleev himself referred to his periodic law in his Faraday Lecture and never used the term “table,” thus it is ironic that his fame is linked to words that he appears never to have uttered. The arrangement of the elements in rows and columns is seen as a table, but why label it periodic? A related, more familiar word to non-chemists is periodical, normally referring to a magazine that appears at regular time intervals. Google Books is a powerful modern tool for investigating the usage of selected words or phrases over selected time intervals. The writer chose to use its advanced search for books in the English language. This meant that sources other than British, notably North American, are also included but the observed patterns are probably true for British books. The data compare the number of times the terms periodic table, periodic law, periodic classification, and periodic acid occurred in five-year intervals between 1870 and 1919.

Van Houtven, Courtney Harold. "Informal Care and Economic Stressors11In this chapter, I use the term informal care because it is a standard term used in the academic literature. The term is intended to distinguish care from family members and friends, who are typically untrained and unpaid, from formal care, in which care is provided by paid, and usually trained, semiprofessionals or professionals who have no preexisting personal relationship with the care recipient. An alternative term is family caregiver, but I prefer the term informal caregiver because it does not exclude care provided by nonfamily members. In addition, the word informal reflects the reality that caregiving in the United States typically occurs in an informal market, where there are no explicit prices for the services provided, with rarely explicit direct payments, and it is therefore very difficult to quantify directly the supply, cost, or value of informal care. The very absence of a market for caregiving has spurred a great deal of economics (and other) research in understanding the value and costs of informal care in the United States and internationally, due to labor market impacts, health impacts, and other unintended consequences of caregiving."

Resumen
<p>Combination of lightweight concrete (LWC) and glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars offers synergy of advantages of both materials and leads to more durable, less-weight and cheaper in terms of life cycle costs of bridges. This synergy was a motivation to start of the R&amp;D project on the combination of both materials for bridge structural elements, particularly deck slabs and prefab arch structures. The first results of the R&amp;D project are presented in the paper. The research works comprised the initial comparative static tests of full- scale models made of LWC/GFRP against those made of a normal concrete (NWC) and/or reinforced by steel rebars. Despite to generally worse structural performance under static load, both tested elements made of the LWC reinforced with GFRP rebars have shown a structural potential to be considered in bridge construction. Test results initially confirmed their limit states as calculated in design based on relevant codes of practice, but further tests should be carried out to confirm their safety and serviceability.</p>

Resumen
As a student undertaking a Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (LIC)1 based in a GP practice in a rural community in the North of Scotland, I have been lucky to be given responsibility and my own clinic lists. Every day I conduct consultations that change my practice: the challenge of clinically applying the theory I have studied, controlling a consultation and efficiently exploring a patient's problems, empathising with and empowering them to play a part in their own care2 – and most difficult I feel – dealing with the vast amount of uncertainty that medicine, and particularly primary care, presents to both clinician and patient. I initially consulted with a lady in her 60s who attended with her husband, complaining of severe lower back pain who was very difficult to assess due to her pain level. Her husband was understandably concerned about the degree of pain she was in. After assessment and discussion with one of the GPs, we agreed some pain relief and a physio assessment in the next few days would be a practical plan. The patient had one red flag, some leg weakness and numbness, which was her ‘normal’ on account of her multiple sclerosis. At the physio assessment a few days later, the physio felt things were worse and some urgent bloods were ordered, unfortunately finding raised cancer and inflammatory markers. A CT scan of the lung found widespread cancer, a later CT of the head after some developing some acute confusion found brain metastases, and a week and a half after presenting to me, the patient sadly died in hospital. While that was all impactful enough on me, it was the follow-up appointment with the husband who attended on the last triage slot of the evening two weeks later that I found completely altered my understanding of grief and the mourning of a loved one. The husband had asked to speak to a Andrew MacFarlane Year 3 ScotGEM Medical Student 2 doctor just to talk about what had happened to his wife. The GP decided that it would be better if he came into the practice - strictly he probably should have been consulted with over the phone due to coronavirus restrictions - but he was asked what he would prefer and he opted to come in. I sat in on the consultation, I had been helping with any examinations the triage doctor needed and I recognised that this was the husband of the lady I had seen a few weeks earlier. He came in and sat down, head lowered, hands fiddling with the zip on his jacket, trying to find what to say. The GP sat, turned so that they were opposite each other with no desk between them - I was seated off to the side, an onlooker, but acknowledged by the patient with a kind nod when he entered the room. The GP asked gently, “How are you doing?” and roughly 30 seconds passed (a long time in a conversation) before the patient spoke. “I just really miss her…” he whispered with great effort, “I don’t understand how this all happened.” Over the next 45 minutes, he spoke about his wife, how much pain she had been in, the rapid deterioration he witnessed, the cancer being found, and cruelly how she had passed away after he had gone home to get some rest after being by her bedside all day in the hospital. He talked about how they had met, how much he missed her, how empty the house felt without her, and asking himself and us how he was meant to move forward with his life. He had a lot of questions for us, and for himself. Had we missed anything – had he missed anything? The GP really just listened for almost the whole consultation, speaking to him gently, reassuring him that this wasn’t his or anyone’s fault. She stated that this was an awful time for him and that what he was feeling was entirely normal and something we will all universally go through. She emphasised that while it wasn’t helpful at the moment, that things would get better over time.3 He was really glad I was there – having shared a consultation with his wife and I – he thanked me emphatically even though I felt like I hadn’t really helped at all. After some tears, frequent moments of silence and a lot of questions, he left having gotten a lot off his chest. “You just have to listen to people, be there for them as they go through things, and answer their questions as best you can” urged my GP as we discussed the case when the patient left. Almost all family caregivers contact their GP with regards to grief and this consultation really made me realise how important an aspect of my practice it will be in the future.4 It has also made me reflect on the emphasis on undergraduate teaching around ‘breaking bad news’ to patients, but nothing taught about when patients are in the process of grieving further down the line.5 The skill Andrew MacFarlane Year 3 ScotGEM Medical Student 3 required to manage a grieving patient is not one limited to general practice. Patients may grieve the loss of function from acute trauma through to chronic illness in all specialties of medicine - in addition to ‘traditional’ grief from loss of family or friends.6 There wasn’t anything ‘medical’ in the consultation, but I came away from it with a real sense of purpose as to why this career is such a privilege. We look after patients so they can spend as much quality time as they are given with their loved ones, and their loved ones are the ones we care for after they are gone. We as doctors are the constant, and we have to meet patients with compassion at their most difficult times – because it is as much a part of the job as the knowledge and the science – and it is the part of us that patients will remember long after they leave our clinic room.
