The first experiment of this study was aimed at investigating the factors affecting the feeding behaviour and plant species selection of 3 free ranging Tswana (mean weight ± 37 kg) and 3 Boer (mean weight ± 36 kg) goat does in the False Thornveld of the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The feeding behaviour and plant species selection was observed and recorded during winter (cold-dry season) and summer (hot-wet season). Observations included the following categories: browsing, grazing and non-feeding activities. Non-feeding activities (NFA) include separate recordings of walking, standing, lying and drinking. Results showed goats spent 21.9 %, 44.65 % and 33.3 % of their day on browsing, grazing and non-feeding activities. Grass was clearly the preferred feed for goats both in the cold-dry season (54 %) and the hot-wet season (76 %) while browse consumption was higher in the cold-dry season (46 %) and lower in the hot-wet season (24 %). Goats spent more time on NFA in the cold-dry season (68.8 %) than the hot-wet season (31.9 %). Though diurnal variations were observed for both breeds and seasons in terms of browsing and non-feeding activities, no diurnal variations were found between the breeds. Goats selected a wide spectrum of woody-plant species. A total of thirteen woody plant species were encountered and selected by goats in the range. Scutia myrtina was the most frequently consumed (29.9 %) woody plant species in the range followed by Rhus refracta (16.3 %), Grewia occidentalis (14.0 %), Olea africana (10.8 %). These four woody-plant species accounted for 71 % of the woody plant selection by goats. Significant differences (P<0.001) were found in percentage time spent selecting the different woody-plant species by goats. The frequency of woody-plant species selection was higher in the cold-dry season than the hot-wet season. Woodyplant selection was higher in the morning followed by the afternoon and lower during midday. Percentage time spent by goats selecting woody plant species decreased with advancing period of occupation of a grazing/browsing camp. Browse was the preferred feed when feed availability was high, but when feed availability declined, the goats decreased their frequency of woody-plant selection and more grass was eaten. The second experiment was aimed at determining and comparing the nutritive value of forages selected by the same free ranging goats. Three (3) Tswana and 3 Boer goats equipped with remote controlled fistula valves were studied. Fistula valve samples were collected for 15 minutes during the day at 6 different times. All extrusa samples were kept on ice in the field and then stored in a deep freeze prior to drying and milling. Each sample was freeze-dried and hand separated into bush (woody species) and grass components (including forbs). These samples were analysed for nitrogen (N), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF) and acid detergent lignin (ADL). The diets selected by the goats differed in CP (cold-dry season: 5.39 % ± 0.15 and hot-wet season 9.48 % ± 0.15; P=0.001), NDF (cold-dry season 48.09 % ± 1.02 and hot-wet season 53.76 % ± 1.02; P=0.001) and ADF (cold-dry season 34.32 % ± 0.72 and hot-wet season 37.50 % ± 0.72) between the seasons, but the ADF content showed no change (cold-dry season 18.01 % ± 0.52 and hot-wet season 19.49 % ± 0.52 P>0.05). Goats selected diets higher in CP, NDF and ADF during hot-wet season compared to cold-dry season. Generally, there were diurnal variations in the NDF (P=0.04), ADF (P=0.02) and ADL (P=0.01) contents of forages selected by goats. Nutrient content of selected diets decreased in quality with advancing period of occupation of a camp. Knowledge of the nutritive value of the diet as selected by these animals is of primary importance in estimating the productivity of any rangeland. The third experiment was aimed at determining in sacco dry matter (DM) and crude protein degradation of woody plant species incubated in the rumen of Tswana and Boer goats. The ruminal degradability of the three most selected woody plant species by goats during the cold-dry season (G. occodentalis, O. africana and S. myrtina) and the hot-wet season (A. karroo, R. refracta and S. myrtina), were measured in situ, using in sacco digestion techniques. The nylon bag incubation revealed large differences in the rumen degradability of DM of the three woody plant species during both cold-dry season and hot-wet season. Ruminal degradation constants (a, b and a+b and c) varied significantly (P<0.001) between breeds and between goats within a breed. Thus, no breed difference in in sacco degradation of DM and CP was found between Tswana and Boer goats. There was a strong positive correlation between DMD, CPD and time of incubation in the rumen. The crude protein content of the woody plant species positively influenced the rumen digestion of dry matter because when CP increased DMD also increased. Both species preference and degradability of plant species are needed to estimate range suitability for browsing animals. Results from this study will help to develop strategies to optimise range resources for sustainable animal production. In order to improve production, the constraints limiting success should be identified. Tswana goats might be a more favoured breed in semi-arid savannah because of their smaller body size, absolute nutrient requirement and better reproductive performance when compared to Boer goats. However, when forage availability is not a limiting factor, Boer goats might yield better returns for the investment since they are superior in meat production. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Anatomy and Physiology / Unrestricted

Based on the Identity approach, considering how the journalist and cartoonist Joe Sacco, Maltese by birth, cosmopolitan by vocation, constructs a narrative that highlights the otherness, establishing a productive counterpoint to understand this conflict in the Middle East: from the perspective of those that, by Western corporations that emerged, were thrown to the mists of oblivion. From the new perspectives provided by various historiography strands, as the Intellectual History and Cultural Studies, aggregate to a rich conceptual framework for research on manned imagery issue, it is possible to envision new paradigms that can be incorporated into the research on the topic in order to enter the HQ universe into contemporary historiography discussions. Theme whose interest is piqued by naturally transcends the clichés for this conferred a priori. It is understood by commonplace in this case the sphere of entertainment, which includes mostly symbolic products disseminated on a large scale marketing purposes and for leisure. / Através de um estudo sobre a série Palestina e as obras Derrotista e Notas sobre Gaza, de Joe Sacco, esta pesquisa busca evidenciar como a arte do quadrinho surge como uma linguagem apropriada para abordar um tema complexo como o conflito entre árabes e judeus na disputa pelo território da Palestina. Partindo da abordagem sobre Identidade, analisaremos como o jornalista e quadrinista Joe Sacco, maltês de nascimento, cosmopolita por vocação, constrói uma narrativa que evidencia a alteridade, estabelecendo um profícuo contraponto para se compreender este conflito que assola o Oriente Médio: através da perspectiva daqueles que, relevados pelas corporações ocidentais, foram lançados às brumas do esquecimento. A partir das novas perspectivas fornecidas por vertentes variadas dentro da historiográfica, como a História Intelectual e Estudos Culturais, agregadas a todo um rico arcabouço conceitual guarnecido por investigações sobre a questão imagética, é possível vislumbrar novos paradigmas que podem ser incorporados à pesquisa sobre o tema, de forma a introduzir o universo da HQ ao debate da historiografia contemporânea. Tema este cujo interesse é naturalmente despertado por transcender os lugares-comuns para este atribuídos a priori. Entenda-se por lugar-comum nesse caso a esfera do entretenimento, que engloba em sua grande maioria os produtos simbólicos disseminados em larga escala e com fins de comercialização para o lazer.

For this, seek, preliminarily, to develop an approach to spatial representation in comics through their visual and textual language, which shows a spatial perception and expressed a range of meanings from the actions that bind the characters to their place. Within this framework of interpretation, this study focuses, through the analysis of the works of Joe Sacco, the Arab-Israeli conflict to understand the Palestinian territories occupied as a politician volume that portrays the loss of political sovereignty of the Palestinians in the broad sense. This approach emphasizes an approach to the daily lives of Palestinians through comics considering the daily occupation and their spatial dimension (ie, content that refers to the territory, since it presents a whole set of meanings that evoke a territorial sense). So the research aims to understand the occupied Palestinian territories, seeking to evidence the extent to which Joe Sacco comics provide elements for research in geography, to the extent that expresses, it is suggested, one geographicity. Such a focus, which uses the conceptual scope of geography – and notably the concept of territory and its multiples –, mediating them through the use of works of Joe Sacco, allows, we suggest a peculiar angle of approach over the territory in local conflict, to the extent that, through it, it becomes possible to observe the forms of control and territorial insecurity of Palestinians in their training territorial-space. / O estudo trata da dimensão territorial do conflito israelo-palestino a partir do jornalismo em quadrinhos produzidos por Joe Sacco. Para isso, procura, preliminarmente, desenvolver uma abordagem da representação espacial nos quadrinhos através de sua linguagem visual e textual, que evidencia uma percepção espacial e expressa um conjunto de significados a partir das ações que unem os personagens ao lugar. A partir desse quadro de interpretação, o presente estudo focaliza, através da análise das obras de Joe Sacco, o conflito árabe-israelense para entender os territórios palestinos ocupados como um volume político que retrata a perda de soberania política dos palestinos em sentido amplo. Esse enfoque se volta para uma reflexão a respeito do dia a dia dos palestinos através dos quadrinhos considerando o cotidiano da ocupação e sua dimensão espacial (ou seja, um conteúdo que remete ao território, uma vez que apresenta todo um conjunto de significados que evocam um sentido territorial). Assim, a pesquisa objetiva entender os territórios palestinos ocupados, procurando evidenciar em que medida os quadrinhos de Joe Sacco disponibilizam elementos para a pesquisa em Geografia, na medida em que expressam, sugere-se, uma geograficidade. Tal enfoque, que recorre ao escopo conceitual da Geografia – e notadamente ao conceito de território e seus múltiplos –, mediatizando-os através do recurso às obras de Joe Sacco, possibilita, sugere-se, um ângulo de abordagem peculiar sobre o território em locais de conflito, na medida em que, através dele, torna-se possível observar as formas de controle e precarização territorial dos palestinos em sua formação espaço-territorial.

UAB „Naujasis Nevėžis“ 2012 metais buvo sukurta ekstruduoto baltyminio priedo LAKTOMIL-1 receptūra, šis produktas skirtas melžiamoms karvėms skirtingais produktyvumo tarpsniais. Baltyminio priedo LAKTOMIL – 1 poveikio, karvių produktyvumui ir pieno kokybei, įvertinimui Lukšių žemės ūkio bendrovėje (Lauciškių komplekse) buvo atliktas 90 dienų trukmės bandymas. Bandymui analogų principu atrinkta 30 Lietuvos juodmargių karvių, jos suskirstytos į dvi grupes (kontrolinę ir bandomąją), po 15 gyvulių kiekvienoje. Kontrolinės grupės karvės buvo šeriamos įprastiniu racionu, sudarytu iš kukurūzų siloso, žolių šienainio, kukurūzų grūdainio, rapsų išspaudų, sojų išspaudų ir mineralų. Bandomosios grupės karvės šertos analogišku racionu, tačiau sojų išspaudos pakeistos baltyminiu priedu LAKTOMIL-1. Siekiant nustatyti LAKTOMIL-1 baltymų virškinamumo laipsnį didžiajame prieskrandyje ir plonosiose žarnose, bendradarbiavome su valstybiniu Estijos „Gyvybės Mokslų Universitetu“, Mitybos ir gyvūnų produktų kokybės katedra (Tartu). Baltymų ir sausosios medžiagos virškinamumas didžiajame prieskrandyje buvo nustatytas in sacco metodu. Tyrimui atrinktos trys karvės, kurioms į didįjį prieskrandį įvestos fistulos. Pašarų mėginiai buvo inkubuojami prieskrandyje 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 48 ir 72 valandas. Darbo tikslas – nustatyti ekstruduoto baltyminio priedo LAKTOMIL-1 virškinamumą in sacco metodu ir įvertinti skirtingo šėrimo poveikį karvių produktyvumui ir pieno sudėčiai.

Explore extruded protein additive ruminal digestibility using in sacco method; 2. Set extruded protein additive impact on dairy cows milk production and composition. Research methodology: In 2012 JSC „Naujasis Nevėžis“ specialists developed new extruded protein additive LAKTOMIL-1, for dairy cows in different stages of productivity. To investigate influence of extruded protein additive to cow’s productivity and milk composition, 90 days experiment was carried out in Lukšiai agricultural company (Lauciškiai farm). Analogues of the principle selected thirty Lithuanian Black/white breed cows, they were divided into 2 groups (control and experimental), each group containing 15 animals. The control group was fed a normal cow ration consisting of corn silage, grass silage, maize, rapeseed meal, soybean cake, and minerals. Experimental cows fed a similar diet, but soybean cake was replaced to extruded protein additive LAKTOMIL-1. During the investigation milk yield was determined by the control milking. Milk quality indices have been analyzed in PE “Milk Analysis” (“Pieno tyrimai”). Been studied milk protein, fat, lactose and urea concentration in milk content. Effective degradability of protein and dry matter was determined by the in sacco method using three fistulated cows. The cows were fed the same basal ration... [to full text]

The Master thesis focuses on the representation of conflict after 1945 in a non- fiction comics. The thesis describes which important conflicts for the European and North American cultural sphere are covered by comics and how. It deals with the phenomenon of comics journalism. This term combining the elements of art and journalism is viewed in relation to the traditional ideal of objectivity in coverage of the events. In this context the thesis examines the position of the author in his comics. The thesis then identifies the comics genres in which wars and other armed conflicts are reflected. It searches for roots of comics that had attempted to capture the reality and in particular the conflict. It also provides an overview of the issue of media coverage of conflicts including the social construction of reality and the depiction of violence in media. The aim of this study is to analyze the characteristics of comics coverage of foreign military interventions and disputes and identify various authors who have written comics books about them. A key theme is a relationship between the perception of reality and its representation on the pages of comics. The thesis contains two interviews conducted with authors Guy Delisle and Patrick Chappatte. The research part of the thesis deals with the selected...

L'amidon contenu dans les céréales est une source glucidique fréquemment utilisée dans l'alimentation des chevaux athlètes pour couvrir leurs besoins en énergie. Une partie de ce travail est consacrée à l'adaptation de la technique des sachets mobiles pour mesurer la digestibilité antécæcale de l'amidon. Cette méthode in sacco a permis de mettre en évidence que l'origine botanique est un facteur contrôlant l'intensité de la digestion antécæcale de l'amidon. Selon la source d'amidon, des digestibilités antécæcales comprises entre 36 % et 99 % ont été mesurées. Ces résultats permettent de proposer des données de référence, pour différentes matières premières, afin de prendre en compte le paramètre " amidon digestible en antécæcal ", dans le rationnement des chevaux. Un autre volet de ce travail est consacré à l'étude des mécanismes mis en ?uvre pour digérer l'amidon. L'étude des facteurs biotiques et abiotiques associés à la digestion des polysaccharides dans les différents compartiments du tractus digestif a mis en évidence la présence d'un écosystème microbien en antécæcal. Parce que le mode de digestion de l'amidon, chimique ou biologique, conditionne le rendement énergétique de ce glucide, des travaux complémentaires sur le rôle de l'écosystème gastrique et la partition de la digestion en antécæcal sont nécessaires pour une valorisation optimale de l'énergie fournie par l'amidon.
