Los juegos de mesa tienen una vasta historia y tienen un potencial de expansión, el cual promueve diferentes experiencias en el consumidor. Para el caso de Lima Metropolitana, donde el sector está tomando relevancia, se aborda las experiencias más significativas que ocurren en la interacción con el producto. A partir de ello, la presente investigación plantea la necesidad de conocer la influencia de los dominios de la experiencia de Pine II y Gilmore (1998) sobre la satisfacción del consumidor de juegos de mesa modernos. Por un lado, se realizaron entrevistas a expertos del sector a fin de conocer la situación actual y características de los usuarios del sector. Por otro lado, se obtuvo información a través de un cuestionario dirigido a los consumidores para desarrollar un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM) que mida las relaciones entre las variables: Entretenimiento, Educación, Estética, Escapismo y Satisfacción. Además, se empleó un análisis de correlaciones para identificar el grado de relación entre las variables. A partir de los resultados, se identifica que los factores son significativos con excepción de Educación. Asimismo, se comprueba que la relación entre Entretenimiento y Satisfacción es la más fuerte y directa.

La presente tesis proporciona información que sustenta el juego de mesa Manada como propuesta para el ejercicio de la memoria en adultos mayores. El nombre de la propuesta, “Manada”, surge tras tomar al elefante como elemento representativo y asociarlo a la idea de grupo. El deterioro de la memoria es uno de los cambios cognitivos que los adultos mayores experimentan, y uno de los que más preocupación les genera, debido a la conexión con la identidad y la autonomía. La investigación busca mejorar la experiencia del ejercicio de la memoria a través de una propuesta basada en las actividades observadas en los CIAMs. Frente a esta necesidad por recursos, se propone integrar ejercicios en un formato lúdico y una mecánica de juego atractiva. Está comprobado que la estimulación cognitiva puede reducir el deterioro y mejorar las habilidades; así mismo, las habilidades que no se practican empeoran. En los resultados se muestra una respuesta positiva en cuanto a la recepción de la propuesta y frente a la elección del tema de plantas medicinales. El juego mesa fue descrito como interesante y entretenido; siendo, no solo el ejercicio de la memoria, sino también el aprendizaje, el atributo más valorado en los grupos de adultos mayores. Las pruebas de usuario no solo permiten la mejora de la propuesta y comprobación del grado de aceptación; sino también, confirman su potencialidad como una alternativa para la estimulación cognitiva. / This thesis provides information that supports the board game Manada as a proposal for the exercise of memory in elderly people. The name of the proposal, “Herd”, arises after taking the elephant as a representative element and associating it with the idea of group. Memory impairment is one of the cognitive changes that elderly people experience, and one that generates the most concern, due to the connection with identity and autonomy. The research seeks to improve the experience of memory exercise through a proposal based on the activities observed in the CIAMs. Faced with this need for resources, it is proposed to integrate exercises in a playful format and an attractive game mechanic. It is proven that cognitive stimulation can reduce impairment and improve skills; likewise, skills that are not practiced deteriorate. The results show a positive response regarding the reception of the proposal and the choice of the topic of medicinal plants. The board game was described as interesting and entertaining; being, not only the exercise of memory, but also learning, the most valued attribute. User tests not only allow the improvement of the proposal and verification of the degree of acceptance; but also, they confirm its potential as an alternative for cognitive stimulation.

Master of Science / Department of Geology / Matthew W. Totten / Sedimentary beds rich in volcanic ash have been reported throughout Kansas. It is believed the source of these ashes are the large-scale eruptions from the Yellowstone Calderas. Very few of these ash units have been dated, however, and the vast majority simply reported as “Pearlette Ash.” The objective of this research was to investigate the potential of trace element geochemistry in correlating individual ash outcrops in Kansas to their eruptive source. Thirty-six previously reported ash occurrences of unknown age in Kansas were reoccupied and sampled. In addition, three unreported ash deposits were discovered and sampled. Two ash units previously identified as Huckleberry Ridge-aged and three as Lava Creek B were also collected. The samples were processed using the method of Hanan and Totten (1998) to concentrate ash shards. These ash concentrates were analyzed for specific trace and rare earth element (REE) concentrations using inductively coupled mass-spectrometry (ICP-MS) at the University of Kansas. The ash samples from known eruptions have distinct trace and REE signatures, allowing comparison to the unknown ash units. Most of the unknown ash samples correlate with specific Yellowstone eruptions. The majority of the undifferentiated “Pearlette Ash” samples correlate with the most recent Lava Creek B eruption and several unknown ashes correlate to the Huckleberry Ridge eruption. The distribution of ash units in Kansas being dominated by Lava Creek (0.60 ma) is expected because it is the most recent of the Yellowstone eruptions. The abundance of the older Huckleberry Ridge (2.10 ma) over the more recent Mesa Falls (1.27 ma) is likely the result of the much larger Huckleberry Ridge eruption.

Ancestral Pueblo communities of the central Mesa Verde region (CMVR) became increasingly reliant on agriculture for their subsistence needs during Basketmaker III (BMIII) through Terminal Pueblo III (TPIII) (AD 600–1300) periods. Researchers have been studying the Ancestral Pueblo people for over a century using a variety of methods to understand the relationships between climate, agriculture, population, and settlement patterns. While these methods and research have produced a well-developed cultural history of the region, studies at a smaller scale are still needed to understand the changes in farming behavior and the distribution of individual sites across the CMVR. Soil moisture is the limiting factor for crop growth in the semi-arid region of the Goodman Watershed in the CMVR. Thus, I constructed the soil moisture proxy model (SMPM) that is on a local scale and focuses on variables relevant to soil moisture – soil particle-size, soil depth, slope, and aspect. From the SMPM output, the areas of very high soil moisture are assumed to represent desirable farmland locations. I describe the relationship between very high soil moisture and site locations, then I infer the relevance of that relationship to settlement patterns and how those patterns changed over time (BMIII – TPIII). The results of the model and its application help to clarify how Ancestral Pueblo people changed as local farming communities. The results of this study indicates that farmers shifted away from use of preferred farmland during Terminal Pueblo III, which may have been caused by other cultural factors. The general outcome of this thesis is an improved understanding of human-environmental relationships on the local landscape in the CMVR.

The archaeofaunal remains left by the Ancestral Puebloan people of Goodman Point Unit provides a valuable, yet underutilized resource into pit structure function. This thesis explores temporal changes in pit structure use and evaluates if a final feast occurred during a kiva decommissioning. The results from zooarchaeological analyses of a pithouse and two great kivas suggest that changes in pit structures at Goodman Point mimic the regional trend toward specialization until late Pueblo III. Cross-cultural studies on feasts, southwest ethnographies and previous zooarchaeological work established methods for identifying a feast. The analysis of differences in faunal remains from a great kiva and multiple room block middens imply that the remains in the kiva were from a final feast prior to a decommissioning ceremony and were not fill. Spatially and temporally the great kiva appears to be a unique, specialized structure in the cultural development of the Goodman Point community.

O enxoval é conhecido desde a antiguidade e tem passado por uma série de modificações, refletidas no tipo de tecido, confecção, design, moda e na participação do mercado. Estas mudanças também foram influenciadas pela mudança da posição da mulher na sociedade. A presente pesquisa objetivou em estudar o desenvolvimento do setor de cama, mesa e banho no Brasil, ocorrido de 1976 a 2017, em termos de aspectos de mercado, materiais e processos têxteis, design e moda. A metodologia consistiu em pesquisa das revistas Casa Vogue Brasil e Casa Cláudia de 1977 a 2017 para estudo e análise de materiais têxteis, designs e marcas do setor de cama, mesa e banho a partir das imagens e textos. Em adição, foi efetuada, em base dos principais relatórios relacionados à indústria têxtil e de confecção e demais literatura, pesquisa dos processos e maquinários para a produção de cama, mesa e banho e aspectos de mercado desse setor. Por fim, foram realizadas entrevistas com empresas do setor de cama, mesa e banho. Os materiais e designs têxteis clássicos são nítidos na preferência da apresentação de estilo. Em relação ao comércio, ocorreram grandes mudanças no mercado brasileiro dos anos 1976 aos 2017. No início desse período o destaque eram lojas de departamento e, com o passar dos anos, as empresas foram criando seu espaço com destaques nas marcas. As marcas com maior apresentação nas últimas duas décadas (anos 2000 e 2010) da revista Casa Vogue Brasil foram Trousseau, Trussardi e a loja de departamento de multimarcas Mundo do Enxoval (essas marcas tem o destaque para o público de maior poder aquisitivo no Brasil). Na revista Casa Cláudia, foram Buddemeyer, Trousseau e MMartan. Com o avanço tecnológico, tornou-se mais acessível a compra dos produtos de cama, mesa e banho industrializados e aumentou assim a exportação brasileira. As evoluções dos maquinários e todo o processo envolvido, auxiliaram à obtenção de produtos com valores mais acessíveis, melhor qualidade e padronagem dos produtos acabados. Constata-se que, o setor avança e se desenvolve constituindo um importante papel na produção têxtil. No entanto, os padrões clássicos predominam com destaque para a cor branca e o tecido de algodão nos produtos de cama, mesa e banho, sendo o bordado o ornamento de destaque do estilo desses produtos. A manutenção desses padrões por parte dos fabricantes brasileiros é interessante para manter vendas no mercado interno, mas um limitante para produtos de exportação destinados a públicos com valores e gostos estéticos distintos e com maior oferta de itens com variedade de designs de superfície / The trousseau has been known since antiquity and has undergone a series of modifications, reflected in the type of fabric, confection, design, fashion and market share. These changes were also influenced by the changing position of women in society. The present study aimed to study the development of the bed, table and bathroom sector in Brazil, from 1976 to 2017, in terms of market, materials and textile processes, design and fashion. The methodology consisted of a survey of Casa Vogue Brasil and Casa Claudia magazines from 1977 to 2017 for the study and analysis of textile materials, designs and brands in the bed, table and bathroom sector based on images and texts. In addition, on the basis of the main reports related to the textile and clothing industry and other literature, research was carried out on the processes and machinery for the production of bed, table and bath and market aspects of this sector. Finally, interviews were conducted with companies in the bed, table and bathroom sector. The classic textile materials and designs are crisp in style presentation preference. In terms of trade, there were major changes in the Brazilian market from 1976 to 2017. At the beginning of this period the highlights were department stores and, over the years, companies were creating their space with highlights in the brands. The most prominent brands in the last two decades (2000 and 2010) of Casa Vogue Brasil magazine were Trousseau, Trussardi and the multi-brand department store Mundo do Enxoval (these brands have the highlight for the most affluent public in Brazil). In the magazine House Claudia, were Buddemeyer, Trousseau and MMartan. With the technological advance, it became more accessible the purchase of products of bed, table and bath industrialized and thus increased the Brazilian export. The evolutions of the machinery and the whole process involved, helped to obtain products with more accessible values, better quality and standardization of the finished products. It is observed that, the sector advances and develops playing an important role in the textile production. However, classic patterns predominate with white and cotton in bed, table and bath products, with embroidery being the most outstanding ornament of the style of these products. The maintenance of these standards by the Brazilian manufacturers is interesting to maintain sales in the domestic market, but a limitation for export products destined to audiences with different values and aesthetic tastes and with a greater supply of items with a variety of surface designs

<p>Istraživanje je sprovedeno u cilju utvrđivanja prisustva i ra&scaron;irenosti infekcije sa Salmonella enterica u populaciji divljih svinja u lovnim gazdinstvima u Republici Srbiji, kao i uticaju procesa lova i obrade trupova divljih svinja na njihov mikrobiolo&scaron;ki status. U pogledu jednog od najznačajnijih alimentarnih patogena u divljih svinja, Salmonella enterica, ukupno je ispitano 425 jedinki, odstreljenih u 12 lovnih gazdinstava. Ukupna prevalencija Salmonella je iznosila 4,2%. Najvi&scaron;e izolata je dobijeno iz fecesa (13, odnosno 3,1%), dok je iz brisa kože i povr&scaron;ine mesa trupova dobijeno 3 (0,7%) odnosno 4 izolata (0,9%) i samo 1 izolat iz mezenterijalnog limfnog čvora (0,2%). Serotipizacijom izolata Salmonella enterica potvrđeni su serotipovi S. Enteritidis (71.4% od ukupnog broja izolata), S. Typhimurium (23,8%) i S. Infantis (samo jedan izolat, 4,8%). Salmonella enterica je statistički značajno če&scaron;će utvrđena kod životinja iz otvorenog lovi&scaron;ta, kao i kod jedinki ženskog pola starijih od 36 meseci i težih od 75 kg. Molekularnom karakterizacijom izolata Salmonella enterica metodom elektroforeze u pulsirajućem polju (PFGE) utvrđeni su identični profil S. Typhimurium iz fecesa i na povr&scaron;ini mesa trupa iste divlje svinje, &scaron;to ukazuje na prenos ovog patogena sa fecesa na meso trupa tokom evisceracije. Takođe su metodom PFGE utvrđeni identični i/ili visoko srodni profili Salmonella enterica kod divljih svinja poreklom iz različitih lovi&scaron;ta i između divljih svinja, domaćih svinja i živine poreklom sa farmi u okolini lovi&scaron;ta. Ovo ukazuje na postojanje genetske veze, kao i mogućnost postojanja epidemiolo&scaron;ke veze između divljih svinja i domaćih životinja u pogledu ovog patogena. Utvrđena je visoka mikrobiolo&scaron;ka kontaminacija kože i mesa trupova divljih svinja bakterijama indikatorima op&scaron;te i fekalne kontaminacije. Na osnovu uzorkovanih 210 divljih svinja, izlovljenih u 8 lovi&scaron;ta, prosečan ukupan broj bakterija (ACC) utvrđen na koži bio je je 5,2 log10 cfu/cm2, a broj Enterobacteriaceae (EBC) 3,6 log10 cfu/cm2. Prosečan ACC utvrđen na mesu trupova iznosio je 5,4 log10 cfu/cm2, a EBC 3,8 log10 cfu/cm2. Vi&scaron;i nivo mikrobiolo&scaron;ke kontaminacije na mesu trupova divljih svinja u odnosu na kožu ukazuje da drugi izvori kontaminacije (prolivanje sadržaja creva kao posledice ustreljivanja u abdomen i druge nehigijenske procedure tokom obrade trupova) igraju važniju ulogu u kontaminaciji mesa trupova nego koža. Na mikrobiolo&scaron;ki status trupova su najvi&scaron;e uticale procedure lova i obrade trupova, pa je na nivou pojedinih lovi&scaron;ta utvrđena statistički značajna razlika između trupova ispravno odstreljenih životinja i onih pogođenih u abdomen. Na vi&scaron;i nivo mikrobiolo&scaron;ke kontaminacije sa ACC i EBC su takođe uticale procedura evisceracije na terenu na otvorenom u ležećem položaju na zemlji i bez dostupne čiste vode, kao i veoma nehigijenska praksa pranja kože i unutra&scaron;njih povr&scaron;ina trupova nakon obavljene evisceracije. Rezultati ovog istraživanja značajno doprinose razumevanju epidemiologije Salmonella enterica u divljih svinja u Srbiji i rizičnih faktora koji utiču na njeno &scaron;irenje i mogućnost prenosa na ljude alimentarnim putem, kao i uticaja procesa lova i obrade trupova divljih svinja na njihov mikrobiolo&scaron;ki status. Oni takođe predstavljaju i naučnu osnovu za dalji razvoj strategija za kontrolu S. enterica u populaciji divljih svinja u Srbiji i sveukupne mikrobiolo&scaron;ke kontaminacije mesa trupova.</p> / <p>The presence and distribution of Salmonella enterica infection in wild boar population in hunting estates in Serbia was studied, as well as the impact of hunting and carcass dressing procedures on their microbiological conditions.&nbsp; With respect to the main foodborne pathogen from wild boars, Salmonella enterica, the total number of 425 wild boars, originating from 12 hunting estates, was examined. The overall Salmonella prevalence was 4.2%. Isolates were recovered from faeces (13, representing 3.1%), while fewer from skin and carcass meat swabs, i.e. 3 (0.7%) and 4 (0.9%) respectively and only one isolate from mesenteric lymph node (0.2%). Serotyping of S. enterica isolates confirmed serotypes S. Enteritidis (71.4% of total numbers of isolates), S. Typhimurium (23.8%) and S. Infantis (only one isolate, 4.8%). Salmonella enterica was more often found in animals originating from open hunting estates, and from females older than 36 months weighing &gt;75 kg. Molecular characterisation of S. enterica isolates using Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) revealed identical profile of S. Typhimurium from the faeces and carcass meat surface of the same animal, indicating transmission of this pathogen from the faeces to carcass meat during evisceration. Also, identical and/or highly related profiles of S. enterica were determined from wild boars from different hunting estates and between wild boars and domestic pigs and poultry from nearby farms in close proximity to hunting estates. This indicate the existence of genetic link, and possibility of epidemiological link as well between wild boars and domestic animals in respect to this microbial pathogen. High microbial contamination of wild boar skin and carcass meat with indicators of general and faecal contamination was found. Based on 210 sampled wild boars from eight hunting estates, the mean aerobic colony counts (ACC) on wild boar skin was 5,2 log10 cfu/cm2 and Enterobacteriaceae counts (EBC) 3,6 log10 cfu/cm2. The mean ACC on carcass meat was 5,4 log10 cfu/cm2, and EBC 3,8 log10 cfu/cm2. Higher levels of microbial contamination on wild boar carcass meat comparing to the skin indicate that sources other than skin (such as gut content spilage due to abdominal shot, as well as other unhygienic carcass dressing procedures) play important role in carcass meat contamination. Hunting and dressing procedures mostly influenced carcass meat microbial conditions, hence statistically significant difference was observed between properly shot animals and animals shot in abdominal region, as shown on the individual hunting estate level. Other procedures also had an influence on the higher carcass meat microbial contamination with ACC and EBC, such as evisceration in the field in lying position on the ground and without access to a clean water, as well as very unhygienic practice of washing skin and interior carcass surfaces after completed evisceration. The results from this study significantly contribute to the understanding of Salmonella enterica epidemiology in wild boars in Serbia and risk factors that contribute to its spread and transmission to humans, as well as to the impact of hunting and carcass dressing procedures on their microbial status. These results are also sound scientific basis for further development of control strategies for S. enterica in wild boar population in Serbia and control of overall microbial contamination on wild boar carcass meat.</p>

<p>Задатак ове докторске дисертације је био да се испита могућност и ефекти примене мешавине етарских уља тимијана (Thymus vulgaris), оригана (Origanum vulgare) и рузмарина (Rosmarinus officinalis), као природног промотера раста, у узгоју бројлерских пилића на производне карактеристике, биохемијске параметре крви, хисто-морфолошке параметре јетре и цревних ресица, сварљивост хранљивих материја, квалитет трупа и меса пилића, као и на економичност саме производње.<br />У циљу реализације постављених задатака изведен је биолошки оглед у којем су коришћени бројлерски пилићи линијског хибрида Ross 308. Биолошки оглед је изведен на укупно 840 једнодневних бројлерских пилића, подељених у три огледна третмана, два експериментална и један контролни. Као природни промотер раста коришћена је мешавина етарских уља тимијана, оригана и рузмарина у концентрацијама од 0,05 и 0,10%.<br />Током огледног периода континуирано су праћене производне карактеристике бројлерских пилића, а на основу анализе добијених резултата закључено је да испитивана мешавина етарских уља тимијана, оригана и рузмарина може веома успешно да се користити у исхрани бројлерских пилића као природни промотер раста. Позитиван утицај овог додатка је најпре исказан кроз пораст прираста бројлерских пилића (4,29-4,61%), као и на конверзију хране код јединки (7,69-8,28%). Посматрано по периодима исхране, најекономичнија производња бројлерских пилића у стартер периоду исхране постигнута применом 0,05% мешавине етарских уља тимијана, оригана и рузмарина у исхрани бројлерских пилића, док се у гровер периоду исхране ефикаснијом показала доза од 0,10%. Најекономичнија производња бројлерских пилића током целокупног периода това остварена је применом 0,05% мешавине етарских уља тимијана, оригана и рузмарина у исхрани, будући да је у овом третману постигнута најмања вредност цене прираста пилића (71,41 din/kg) највећа вредност индекса економске ефикасности, као и најмања вредност индекса цена производње. Анализом резултата добијених испитивањем активности панкреасних ензима у крвеном серуму и панкреасу бројлерских пилића, установљено је да додата мешавина етарских уља утиче позитивно на активност поменутих ензима у панкреасу, при чему је установљена и значајна позитивна корелација између активности протеазе у панкреасу и крвном серуму бројлерских пилића (r =+0,858; p&lt;0,05). Када је реч о специфичном титру антитела у крвном серуму бројлерских пилића утврђено је да је примена мешавине етарских уља тимијана, оригана и рузмарина у исхрани бројлерских пилића у концентрацији од 0,10% допринела благом порасту концентрације IgА антитела у крви што потенцијално представља индикатор јачања имунолошког система, док је статистички значајан (p&lt;0,05) утицај уочен и на секрецију IgG антитела у крвном серуму бројлерских пилића у оба експериментална третмана. Додата мешавина етарских уља није испољила ефекте на одабране показатеље липидног статуса крви бројлерских пилића, међутим утицала је на значајно побољшање сварљивости сирових протеина, сирове масти, сировог пепела, калцијума и фосфора код бројлерских пилића, чиме је повећана искористљивост основних хранљивих материја, а самим тим су побољшане и производне карактеристике. Утврђене појединачне вредности свих испитаних фактора квалитета трупа закланих пилића указују на позитивне ефекте које су фитобиотици испољили у организму бројлерских пилића. Такође, применом наведене мешавине етарских уља у исхрани бројлерских пилића добијено је пилеће месо побољшаних нутритивних, технолошких и сензорских својстава. С обзиром на значај масних киселина у исхрани људи, од велике важности је позитиван учинак који је додата мешавина етарских уља тимијана, оригана и рузмарина испољила на маснокиселински састав меса бројлерских пилића. Смањен је садржај засићених масних киселина, уз истовремено повећање садржаја полинезасићених масних киселина, чиме је постигнут препоручен однос n-6 / n-3 масних киселина у месу пилића.<br />На основу добијених резултата може се закључити да се избалансираном храном за бројлерске пилиће, са оптималним саставом и садржајем природних промотера раста могу добити пилићи побољшаних производних карактеристика, који се одликују ефикасном сварљивошћу хранљивих материја, те имају добре рандмане и више меса на трупу. Додатно, добијено месо je побошљаног нутритивног, технолошког и сензорског квалитета, обогаћено n-3 масним киселинама и одликује се оптималним односом n-6/n-3 масних киселина. Када се на све то додају и позитивни економски параметри производње онда се са сигурношћу може тврдити да је употреба мешавине етарских уља тимијана, оригана и рузмарина у исхрани бројлерских пилића потпуно оправдана.</p> / <p>Zadatak ove doktorske disertacije je bio da se ispita mogućnost i efekti primene mešavine etarskih ulja timijana (Thymus vulgaris), origana (Origanum vulgare) i ruzmarina (Rosmarinus officinalis), kao prirodnog promotera rasta, u uzgoju brojlerskih pilića na proizvodne karakteristike, biohemijske parametre krvi, histo-morfološke parametre jetre i crevnih resica, svarljivost hranljivih materija, kvalitet trupa i mesa pilića, kao i na ekonomičnost same proizvodnje.<br />U cilju realizacije postavljenih zadataka izveden je biološki ogled u kojem su korišćeni brojlerski pilići linijskog hibrida Ross 308. Biološki ogled je izveden na ukupno 840 jednodnevnih brojlerskih pilića, podeljenih u tri ogledna tretmana, dva eksperimentalna i jedan kontrolni. Kao prirodni promoter rasta korišćena je mešavina etarskih ulja timijana, origana i ruzmarina u koncentracijama od 0,05 i 0,10%.<br />Tokom oglednog perioda kontinuirano su praćene proizvodne karakteristike brojlerskih pilića, a na osnovu analize dobijenih rezultata zaključeno je da ispitivana mešavina etarskih ulja timijana, origana i ruzmarina može veoma uspešno da se koristiti u ishrani brojlerskih pilića kao prirodni promoter rasta. Pozitivan uticaj ovog dodatka je najpre iskazan kroz porast prirasta brojlerskih pilića (4,29-4,61%), kao i na konverziju hrane kod jedinki (7,69-8,28%). Posmatrano po periodima ishrane, najekonomičnija proizvodnja brojlerskih pilića u starter periodu ishrane postignuta primenom 0,05% mešavine etarskih ulja timijana, origana i ruzmarina u ishrani brojlerskih pilića, dok se u grover periodu ishrane efikasnijom pokazala doza od 0,10%. Najekonomičnija proizvodnja brojlerskih pilića tokom celokupnog perioda tova ostvarena je primenom 0,05% mešavine etarskih ulja timijana, origana i ruzmarina u ishrani, budući da je u ovom tretmanu postignuta najmanja vrednost cene prirasta pilića (71,41 din/kg) najveća vrednost indeksa ekonomske efikasnosti, kao i najmanja vrednost indeksa cena proizvodnje. Analizom rezultata dobijenih ispitivanjem aktivnosti pankreasnih enzima u krvenom serumu i pankreasu brojlerskih pilića, ustanovljeno je da dodata mešavina etarskih ulja utiče pozitivno na aktivnost pomenutih enzima u pankreasu, pri čemu je ustanovljena i značajna pozitivna korelacija između aktivnosti proteaze u pankreasu i krvnom serumu brojlerskih pilića (r =+0,858; p&lt;0,05). Kada je reč o specifičnom titru antitela u krvnom serumu brojlerskih pilića utvrđeno je da je primena mešavine etarskih ulja timijana, origana i ruzmarina u ishrani brojlerskih pilića u koncentraciji od 0,10% doprinela blagom porastu koncentracije IgA antitela u krvi što potencijalno predstavlja indikator jačanja imunološkog sistema, dok je statistički značajan (p&lt;0,05) uticaj uočen i na sekreciju IgG antitela u krvnom serumu brojlerskih pilića u oba eksperimentalna tretmana. Dodata mešavina etarskih ulja nije ispoljila efekte na odabrane pokazatelje lipidnog statusa krvi brojlerskih pilića, međutim uticala je na značajno poboljšanje svarljivosti sirovih proteina, sirove masti, sirovog pepela, kalcijuma i fosfora kod brojlerskih pilića, čime je povećana iskoristljivost osnovnih hranljivih materija, a samim tim su poboljšane i proizvodne karakteristike. Utvrđene pojedinačne vrednosti svih ispitanih faktora kvaliteta trupa zaklanih pilića ukazuju na pozitivne efekte koje su fitobiotici ispoljili u organizmu brojlerskih pilića. Takođe, primenom navedene mešavine etarskih ulja u ishrani brojlerskih pilića dobijeno je pileće meso poboljšanih nutritivnih, tehnoloških i senzorskih svojstava. S obzirom na značaj masnih kiselina u ishrani ljudi, od velike važnosti je pozitivan učinak koji je dodata mešavina etarskih ulja timijana, origana i ruzmarina ispoljila na masnokiselinski sastav mesa brojlerskih pilića. Smanjen je sadržaj zasićenih masnih kiselina, uz istovremeno povećanje sadržaja polinezasićenih masnih kiselina, čime je postignut preporučen odnos n-6 / n-3 masnih kiselina u mesu pilića.<br />Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata može se zaključiti da se izbalansiranom hranom za brojlerske piliće, sa optimalnim sastavom i sadržajem prirodnih promotera rasta mogu dobiti pilići poboljšanih proizvodnih karakteristika, koji se odlikuju efikasnom svarljivošću hranljivih materija, te imaju dobre randmane i više mesa na trupu. Dodatno, dobijeno meso je pobošljanog nutritivnog, tehnološkog i senzorskog kvaliteta, obogaćeno n-3 masnim kiselinama i odlikuje se optimalnim odnosom n-6/n-3 masnih kiselina. Kada se na sve to dodaju i pozitivni ekonomski parametri proizvodnje onda se sa sigurnošću može tvrditi da je upotreba mešavine etarskih ulja timijana, origana i ruzmarina u ishrani brojlerskih pilića potpuno opravdana.</p> / <p>The main objective of this research was to investigate the possibility and effects of dietary essential oils mixtures of thyme (Thymus vulgaris), oregano (Origanum vulgare) and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), as a natural growth promoter, in broiler chicken nutrition on productive performances, blood biochemical parameters, morphological parameters of liver and villus, ileal nutrient digestibility, carcass characteristics and broiler meat quality, as well on the economic efficiency coasts of broiler chicken production. In order to realize the tasks set, biological trial was carried out on which Ross 308 strain broiler chickens. A totall of 840 one-day-old broiler chickens were equally distributed into three dietary treatments, two experimental and one control. As a natural growth promoter dietary thyme, oregano and rosemary essential oils mixture in concentrations 0.05 i 0.10% was used.<br />During the experimental period, the production characteristics of broiler chickens were continuously monitored. Based on the analysis of the obtained results, it was concluded that the dietary thyme, oregano and rosemary essential oils mixture can be used very successfully in the nutrition of broiler chickens as a natural growth promoter. The positive effect of this supplement was first expressed through the increase in broiler chickens body weight gain (4.29-4.61%), as well through the feed conversion ratio (7.69-8.28%). Observed by the nutrition periods, the most economical production of broiler chickens in the starter period was achieved using 0.05% of the dietary thyme, oregano and rosemary essential oils mixture, while in a grover period a 0.10% dose proved to be more effective. The most economical production of broiler chickens during the entire fattening period was achieved using 0.05% of the dietary thyme, oregano and rosemary essential oils mixture in nutrition, since in this treatment the lowest value of body weight gain price (71.41 din/kg) was achieved, as well as the highest value of the economic efficiency index, and the smallest value of the price index. Regarding the activity of pancreatic enzymes in blood serum and pancreas of broiler chickens, it was found that the added mixture of essential oils had positive influence on the enzymes activity in pancreas, with a significant positive correlation between the protease activity in the pancreas and the blood serum of broiler chickens (r=+0.858; p&lt;0.05). When it comes to the specific antibody titer in the blood serum of broiler chickens, it has been found that the use of a dietary thyme, oregano and rosemary essential oils mixture in broiler chickens nutrition at a concentration of 0.10% contributed to a mild increase in the IgA antibody concentration in the blood, which potentially represents an indicator of the strengthening of the broiler chickens immune system, while statistically significant (p&lt;0.05) influence was observed on the IgG antibodies secretion in blood serum of broiler chickens in both experimental treatments. The added mixture of essential oils did not influence lipid profile status of broiler chickens blood, however, had positive effect on the digestibility of raw proteins, raw fats, raw ash, calcium and phosphorus in broiler chickens, which increased the utilization of basic nutrients, and therefore production characteristics of broiler chickens were improved. Improved carcass characteristics in experimental treatments indicate positive effects that phytobiotic exhibited in broiler chickens. Moreover, using the mixture of essential oils, nutritional, technological and sensory properties of chicken meat has been improved. Considering the importance of fatty acids in human nutrition, the positive effect of dietary thyme, oregano and rosemary essential oils mixture on the fatty acid composition of broiler chicken meat has a great significance. The saturated fatty acids content was reduced, while the polyunsaturated fatty acids content was increased, thus achieving the recommended ratio of n-6/n-3 fatty acids in chicken meat.<br />Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that with well-balanced feed, which contains optimal composition and content of natural growth promoters, can produce broiler chickens with improved production characteristics, which are characterized by an effective nutrients digestibility, and have good carcass yield and more meat. In addition, the obtained meat will have improved nutritive, technological and sensory quality, enriched with n-3 fatty acids and with optimal ratio of n-6/n-3 fatty acids. When all of this is added to the positive economic parameters of production then it can be safely claimed that the use of a dietary thyme, oregano and rosemary essential oils mixture in broiler chickens nutirition is completely justified.</p>

This thesis presents owners, developers, and preservationists with models for the rehabilitation of motels and motor courts. The introductory section gives readers an overview of the evolution of the motor court and motel. It then focuses on the fates of motels and motor courts in the city of Austin, Texas, as an example of how owners and developers have dealt with the program type. The second section of this thesis discusses the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program, a federal initiative to document and conserve the road itself as well as the “significant features associated with the highway” such as roadside stands, gas stations, and motels (“Route 66 Study Act,” 1990). This section also explores two examples of owner-led efforts to preserve motels along Route 66: Boots Court in Carthage, Missouri, and the Wagon Wheel Motel in Cuba, Missouri. The remaining sections of this thesis focus on four models for the rehabilitation of motels and motor courts. Case studies include Hotel San José, a motor court that was redeveloped into a boutique hotel in Austin, Texas; the Park Motel, a cottage court transformed into rentable business space in San Antonio, Texas; Arbor Terrace, an extended-stay hotel converted into supportive housing in Austin owned by Foundation Communities; and Costa Mesa Village, an SRO community in Costa Mesa, California, housed in a former Travelodge. For each case study, I discuss the site’s history, the original and current configurations and appearance, what makes the project successful, and whether aspects of the project are sympathetic with the goals of preservation. When considering rehabilitation of an historic motel or motor court, developers should consider the configuration of the building and what model would best serve the existing program. Motels in tourist districts with space to provide both private and public functions may be well served to consider the boutique hotel model exemplified by Hotel San José. A motel in a business district with flexible interior spaces able to cater to a variety of tenants might look to the Park Motel and create rentable spaces for small businesses. Those interested in pursuing a nonprofit model for rehabilitating their extant building stock could consider how they could benefit their communities by becoming SRO housing like Arbor Terrace or workforce housing complexes like Costa Mesa Village. Regardless of the project, it is clear that access to private donations, bank loans, or local and federal assistance is integral to the success of a rehabilitation project. Lambert required a sizeable loan before beginning work on Hotel San José that could only be secured when the lender was confident in the return on investment; Neighborhood Revitalization Program funds have allowed Foundation Communities to continue adding SROs in Austin. Though the Perezes didn’t divulge the amount of money spent on their adaptive reuse project, Allison Perez Johnson said that return on investment displayed by property owned by the Perez Family Trust along Broadway Street in San Antonio helped them get approved for loans for their rehabilitation project. As for properties like Harvey’s Boots Motel on Route 66, rehabilitation becomes an ongoing process that only occurs as money permits, and their ability to remain sustainable is supported by heritage tourists who patronize roadside businesses looking to find or recreate their own Route 66 adventures. / text
