Повний текст джерелаDuring the 1960´s and 1970´s the number of grey seals in the Baltic Sea was decreasing rapidly, mostly due to hunting and toxic substances like DDT and PCB. When hunting became less intense and toxic substances decreased in the environment the grey seal population started to increase. Today grey seals are found common in the Baltic Sea and have started to become a big treat and a problem to the fishing industry. The grey seal destroys and enters fishing traps and consumes large quantities of the fish that have been caught.
The knowledge of the grey seal, like abundance and food preferences, is today limited. It is also important to define the position of the grey seal in the ecosystem in the Baltic Sea and to be able to predict changes that could occur if the population would rapidly decrease or increase. This project was therefore started in an attempt to increase the knowledge about the grey seals food preferences. The study was made in tree separate parts. Part one contained analyses of prey remains from stomachs and digestive tract from fourteen individuals put down in two geographically separate areas. The collected material from the seal digestive tract was cleaned and otoliths (hearing stones from fish), scales and back vertebra from fish eaten by the grey seal were sorted out. With the help of hard parts collected from the intestines the food preferences of the seals could be estimated. Eight different species of prey was found. The species were herring (Clupea harengus membras), sprat (Sprattus sprattus), common whitefish (Coregonus spp), perch (Perca fluviatilis), salmon (Salmo salar), trout (Salmo trutta) and roach (Rutilus rutilus). In two of the digestive tracts several individuals of the isopod Saduria entomon were found. No earlier studies describe the isopod as a food source for the grey seals in the Baltic Sea. The findings are therefore unique information. The results showed that during summer the main part of the grey seal diet in the gulf of Sundsvall and in the surrounding coastal area of Hårte was herring and sprat. No significant difference in food preferences was shown between the investigated seals from the gulf of Sundsvall and seals from the surrounding coastal area of Hårte.
The second part was made to investigate if it was possible to build a floating platform that would work as a resting place for the grey seal. The surface of the platform was covered by a layer that keeps the seal scats on the platform so that it could be collected. Otoliths from herring and common whitefish were found on the floating platform. Because the platform could not be under surveillance during the whole study some uncertainties about whether the otoliths found came from grey seal or from resting cormorants or other fish eating birds. However, the otolit size is linearly related to the fish size and this relationship can be used to track the predator. Otoliths from herring taken by grey seals and otoliths found on the platform were significantly bigger than the otoliths originating from the prey of cormorants. The results indicated that the common whitefish size was too big for a full grown cormorant bird to consume. The common whitefish size showed that it probably not had been cormorants that had deposited the otoliths on the platform. The platform method was concluded promising but it needs to be modified in order to work more effective in the future.
In the third part scats were collected from the area of Österåsen to increase the amount of information about the grey seals food preferences.
The knowledge of the grey seals diet in the Baltic Sea is today limited and few similar study’s have earlier been made. The collected scats and otoliths in this project are therefore unique.

Diagnosis of malaria is important in order to ensure early and effective treatment, to facilitate public health surveillance, and to prevent drug resistance. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are an important tool in resource-constrained settings, as they do not rely on costly lab equipment and specially trained personnel. In Uganda's private sector clinics and drug shops, which is where the majority of patients first seek care, diagnosis of malaria is often presumptive and patients receive neither RDT nor microscopy. Several studies have focused on the patient perspective (e.g. willingness to pay and willingness to be tested) but much less is understood about the supplier perspective (e.g. willingness to stock). This study aimed to understand the preferences and priorities of agents across the malaria RDT supply chain in Uganda on stocking the devices using multi-criteria decision analysis. This methodology was adapted to be relevant and understandable for agents in Uganda so that it was possible to analyze business decisions incorporating a multiplicity of attributes such as selling price, purchase cost, sales volume, complexity of regulations, waste management, and training available. Data surveys and semistructured interviews were collected from 28 private sector retailers (i.e., shopkeepers, pharmacists, clinic managers), two first line buyers, and three distributors. Analysis of the data resulted in the construction of value functions for all agents, the relative weights (therefore the tradeoffs) among decision criteria, and the calculation of an overall value for the decision about whether or not to stock RDTs for the different supply chain agents. Results indicate that the best option for one level of the supply chain is not necessarily the best for another. A discussion offers insights on how to align value across the supply chain, which is important for facilitating public health interventions.

Повний текст джерелаTwo experiments were conducted out with the objective to test the palatability (measured by the acceptance or refute of the experimental concentrates, the first action and first choice, the highest level of preference, the ratio of intake and the applicability of this protocol in experiments to test horses), apparent digestibility of nutrients and carbohydrate fractions of diets with different levels of citrus pulp inclusion in the concentrate (0, 7, 14, 21 and 28%) for horses. In the palatability experiment there were 10 mares used in a completely randomized design while for the digestibility experiments there were five different mares used arranged in 5x5 Latin Square design. The effect of inclusion on first action was observed (p<0.01) because 80% of the animals promptly were fed the concentrate. There was no difference (p>0.05) for the first choice variable. However, the concentrate with 7% was the most preferred (36.67%). The concentrate with 7% of citrus pulp inclusion presented the highest intake ratio (0.4425; p<0.01) when compared to the others evidenced by IR>0.30. No effect (p>0.05) was observed for the different levels of citrus pulp on the digestibility of nutrients as well as on the different carbohydrates fractions of the diets, except that the soluble carbohydrate presented difference (p<0.05). There was a high correlation between the digestibility of dry matter (CDDM) and neutral detergent fiber (CDNDF), between CDADF and CDNDF, and CDADF and CDDPB. The citrus pulp can be included in concentrates to horses at levels up to 28% inclusion without deleterious effect on the digestibility of nutrients and the carbohydrate fraction thereof. Lower levels of inclusion (7%) may advantage the palatability of diets with citrus pulp and no added flavors (molasses). Nonetheless, more studies are required to standardize the palatability tests and carbohydrate fractions digestibility and the metabolic effect of the citrus pulp inclusion in the horses diet.

Повний текст джерелаAiming to evaluate the effect of increasing levels of soybean hulls (0, 7, 14, 21 and 28%) in horses concentrate, two experiments were conducted in the Equideocultura Sector of Faculdade de Zootecnia e Engenharia de Alimentos City Hall. The first experiment was the palatability test, composed by the joint analysis of variables: first action (action performed by the animal as soon as it came in contacted with the concentrates: smelled or ate), first choice (first concentrate effectively ingested by the animal), and ratio intake (amount of each one concentrate ingested in the total consumed, over a period of 3 minutes). Thus, ten horses were used in a completely randomized test. Effect was observed (p<0.05) for the first action, with 37.19% of the animals sniffed and 62.81% of the animals ingested the concentrates. As for the variables: first choice and ratio of intake, there was no difference (p>0.05), demonstrating that the preference and consumption of each one of the concentrates were similar. The second experiment conducted was the nutrient digestibility test and physicochemical characteristics of the feaces. Five mares were used, arranged in 5x5 Latin Square design. The diet had 60% roughage (Coast Cross hay) and 40% concentrate, to meet the nutritional requirements of the animal category. Analysis were made to determine the dry matter (DM), mineral matter (MM), organic matter ( OM), ether extract (EE) and crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) detergent fiber acid (ADF), hemicellulose (HC) and gross energy (GE), and the apparent digestibility was determined for each nutrient. The physicochemical characteristics of feces were analyzed by evaluating the short chain fatty acids (SCFA) concentrations, pH, buffering capacity (BC) at 5 and 6, and color and faeces consistency. There was no effect (p>0.05) for the inclusion level on the nutrients digestibility, and there was no effect (p>0.05) on the feaces physicochemical characteristics. The digestibility coefficients of nutrients are within the levels recommended by the literature, and the apparent digestibility of DM, OM, NDF, ADF, HC, CP, EE, EB, were: 53.67; 54.71; 47.04, 39.50, 54.08, 66.74 and 83.73%, respectively. The average pH observed was 6.4 and the BC5 and BC6 medium were 14.09 and 4.41 (mmol/l) respectively. For the feaces physical characteristics, color and consistency of the feaces, 100% showed green color and 90% was normal, indicating no deleterious changes in the equine large intestine. Soybean hulls can be included in the horses diet at levels up to 28% of the concentrate, without causing deleterious effect on the nutrients digestibility and the concentrates palatability, and there wasn\'t deleterious effect on the feaces physicochemical characteristics, suggesting maintenance of the digestive tract healthy.

Повний текст джерелаThe work contains 70 pages, 25 figures, and 19 tables. 12 sources have been used. Goal: to increase the speed and efficiency of research and adjustment of the psychophysiological state of a person by developing a method of matching and detecting influences of relaxing pictures for human psychophysiological state adjustment. A review of the main provisions of research, data collection, and adjustment of the psychophysiological state of humans. The main problems of processing the collected data for the analysis, matching of relaxing pictures are described and the necessity in the development of methods for matching and detecting influences on a psychophysiological condition of relaxing pictures is defined. A method of matching relaxing pictures for correction of the psychophysiological state of a human on the basis of neural networks is offered. The application of the proposed method allows you to submit a set of parameters: color preference, birthday, favorite color, subjective feelings and get a relaxing picture for sessions to correct the psychophysiological state. A method for detecting influences on the psychophysiological state of a person is proposed, which allows, due to a flexible configuration mechanism for plotting, to build various parameters of research of the psychophysiological state of a person and identify their dependencies and influences on a person. The software of the offered methods of matching and detecting influences of relaxing pictures on a condition of the human which increases the efficiency of work of psychologists on the research of a psychophysiological condition of the person is developed. A software startup project has been developed and an analysis of potential customers and the market has been conducted, which shows that the market is still free from analogs of such a product, but needs it.

Повний текст джерелаProjects concerned with laboratory animals facilities usually adopt narrow range of ventilation and climatization variables to assure the define ambient. Such projects are concerned to the animal room (macro-environmental ambient) and this technology have a limitated operation to reach the micro-environmental (animal cages) ambients. The development of the intracage ventilation systems (ICV), which operating by an air influx inside the cages, beside the new technology on thermoelectric modules, thermosensitive and thermocontrolers materials, allows an accurate control of the microclimatic variables for animal enclosure. For this purpose we developed an experimental prototype, a climatic preference chamber (CPC) that allows to laboratory animal (e.g. rats) choose their preferred ambient under a different temperature conditionated chambers by the ICV thecnology, simulating the animal cage enclosure condition. That technology is characterized by delivery of air insufflation of 0.3 m/s, and regulated with differents temperatures in each chamber (22, 26, 30 and 34oC). The exploratory behavior of the rat at multiplechoise preference test was registered by Ethovision Color-Pro 2.3® system. This system allowed to the analysis of the climatic preference defined by the parameter time spent in different microclimates conditions. The analyses of the exploratory behavior demonstrated that rats spent much time in smaller temperature microclimates, as a 22 and 26 oC, indicating a preference for cooler ambients, in spite of the ICV air speed of 0,3m/s. The aim of this work is simulate laboratory animal housing condition to study the microclimate preference and also in termoregulation studies with laboratory rodents assays, like neurotoxins of the the spider Phoneutria nigriventer venom, that is an important tool to biochemical studies

Повний текст джерелаEnvironmental control in livestock buildings is an important factor to be taken into account to promote the welfare and optimize the animal production. As the Brazilian climate is predominantly tropical, cooling systems are essential in animal facilities across the country. Different cooling systems are available in the Brazilian market and, despite having the same goal, to mitigate the temperature inside the shed, they can be perceived by the animals in different ways. The aim of this study was to evaluate the perception of pigs through their preference in relation to the different environment of the cooling systems in an environmental preference chamber. This assessment was made by the preference test, which is to provide alternatives between different situations or resources, so that the animals transmit their responses. An environmental preference chamber was used, and consisted of four compartments connected to each other by a neutral area. Each compartment has its environmental conditions controlled independently, and may thus provide four different types of cooling system: nebulizer associated to forced ventilation, forced ventilation, sprinkler and sprinkler associated to forced ventilation. In this preference study, two main groups of pigs were used: the test-pigs and companion-pigs. The test-pigs were the animals with free access to the chamber and companion-pigs, in turn, were confined in their respective systems. To characterize the environment inside and outside the chamber, data-loggers were used to collect the variables: ambient temperature, relative humidity, black globe temperature and dew point; to determine the levels of index thermal comfort: globe temperature and humidity index and enthalpy. The air speed with digital anemometer also was collected. Physiological measures were also registered: respiratory rate and body surface temperature in the neck region in the schedule at 2pm. Daily gain and feed conversion were evaluated to analyze the performance of the animals in addition to the measures in vivo backfat thickness, lean yield and depth of loin area. The preference test considered days that characterize climatic conditions in which the cooling systems were in operation. The video images were collected and recorded and they were automatically analyzed and interpreted as a preference (or rejection) of certain environments through the frequency and time that test-pig in each environment. The environmental preference chamber conditions attended the recommended values for globe temperature and humidity index, ambient temperature and relative humidity over the periods of the day, and the values obtained for enthalpy were slightly above the recommended literature. The chamber performance was satisfactory since the physiological measures respiratory rate and body surface temperature and the performance variables indicated that the animals were in thermal comfort and obtained backfat thickness, lean yield and depth of loin area measures, characteristic for the category. Regarding the preference of the test-pigs, the highest frequency was observed in sprinkler (40%) and sprinkler associated to forced ventilation (34,7%) systems. Thus the results validated the use of the environmental preference chamber for experimentation with pigs in order to verify their perception to different thermal environments with different cooling systems.

Повний текст джерелаThe validation of an experimental model to investigate the anxiety must be initially based in a parametric behavioral validation, which involves investigating responses related to the defense behavior of the species to cope with aversive situations in the environment of exposure. Thus, the present study validated the light/dark preference as a behavioral model for the study of anxiety in Carassius auratus (goldfish). The following parameters were evaluated: repetition of exposures to the test apparatus in 5 daily sessions, food deprivation, enriched aquarium, exchange of the water of the test aquarium, different proportions of the light and dark compartments, and exposure to an aquarium with half the length of the control one. The data indicated that the repeated exposures increased the number of crossings, indicating that they increased the exploration of the apparatus by reducing the aversive components of the environment. The fish housed in the enriched aquarium displaced more in the test apparatus, showin no significant preference for either the dark or light side, indicating the aversion of the test environment was attenuated by the exposure to the enriched aquarium. 48-H food-deprived animals showed no statistically significant differences between the times spent in either side of the test aquarium, indicating more intense exploration of the test apparatus in search of food. The animals submitted to the procedure of exchanging the water of the test aquarium before testing did not show preference for either side, indicating that the fish probably release chemical signals in the water which inform their conspecifics of the potential aversiveness of environment. As to the proportion of the aquarium, animals exposed to the 75% light 25% dark test aquarium displaced less than the ones exposed to the control aquarium, indicating that a larger light area can lead to an increase in the aversiveness of the aquarium. When the subjects were exposed to the 75% dark 25% light aquarium, the frequency of crossings was greater for the control group and, in this case, the increased locomotion may be associated with an attenuation in the aversiveness of the environment related to the presence of a larger dark area. In the 87.5% light 12.5% dark aquarium, the animals in the experimental group did not present statistically significant differences between the times spent on either the light or dark sides of the apparatus, indicating that a larger light (aversive) area alters the preference for dark environments. The fishes exposed the aquarium with half the length increased their locomotion, indicating that the length of the apparatus interferes with the aversiveness of the light compartment. Overall, the data showed that manipulating environmental stimuli affects exploratory behavior patterns related to light/dark preference, which may be associated with different anxiety-related behaviors.

Повний текст джерелаThe reverb effect in the world of music production is frequently used and universally regarded as an essential tool. On the other hand in the domain of speech recordings -primarily radio and podcasts- is the use of reverberation more limited if even used at all. How the listener percieves a recording is affected by the reverberation of said recording. More precisely, a long reververation can be percieved as belonging to a large room, while a more damped sound with shorter reverberation sounds like a small room. A news broadcast sounding similar to church acoustics or a recording in the style of a podcast -with no room response- can be difficult to listen to, especially for a listener with isolating headphones. Many research articles and studies have been published about the concept of personally preferred reverberation for music, but very few for speech. Therefore this study was conducted with an intent to find a consensus between independent participants. What reverberation time is preferred when listening to a news report? Each participant in the study listened to a set of seven versions of a single voice recording in the style of a news report. The variants had reverberation times spanning from 0 ms up to 800. They then graded the recordings on a scale from 1 through 100 corresponding to how close to an ideal listening experience they had, according to their personal preference. The data extracted from the study points to a preference towards less reverberation time. The difference between smaller reverberation times were shown to be more significant compared to the difference between the same interval at a longer reverberation time. The expected preference-peak at between 200 and 400 ms was not found but the absence of it could be explained by several factors, such as: disparity between the quality of the soundclip and the quality of the reverb effect used, the extent of the study of the lack of a training session for the participants before the start of the study.
