Poultry Vaccines and Vaccination Practices among Farmers in Wukari, Taraba St...ijtsrd
Poultry enterprise is increasingly gaining viability owning to successful preventive measures of vaccination protocols for various diseases of economic importance. A cross sectional study involving forty five 45 poultry farms across the Six 6 wards in Wukari, Local Government Area, Taraba State Nigeria were surveyed to determine the vaccination practices and the vaccines used by poultry farmers. Purposive sampling was employed by Interviewer administered structured questionnaires in the course of the study. Fisher’s exact test was used to test for association between categorical variables. A total of 8 17.8 , 3 6.7 , 3 6.7 , 8 17.8 , 6 13.3 and 17 37.8 farms were visited in Avyi, Bantaje, Chonku, Hospital, Jibu and Puje wards respectively. The forty five respondents were 57.8 male and 42.2 female farmers. Majority of the respondents never administered Marek’s 82.2 , LaSota 51.1 , Komarov 75.6 , Fowl cholera 75.6 Fowl typhoid 73.3 and Coccidiosis 68.9 vaccines. Only 42.2 of the respondents had vaccination records while 51.1 had vaccination schedules. There was a significant association between disease outbreak and the use of Infectious Bursal disease, Fowl typhoid, Fowlpox and Coccidiosis vaccines respectively. The association between the handling of vaccines and disease outbreaks were significant p 0.05 for Marek’s, Infectious Bursal disease, Fowl typhoid and Coccidiosis. The result of the association between vaccine administration against vaccine failures was significantly different p 0.05 in all vaccines used. In conclusion, poultry farmers in Wukari are aware of routine vaccinations although a majority of them do not administer the vaccines and the few that use these vaccines have poor record storage practices.

The livestock sector is one of the drivers of improved food security and livelihoods in developing countries. Livestock development in Africa is, however, constrained by animal diseases, with major economic, nutritional, and health consequences. Animal health services, especially for the poorest farmers, is generally inaccessible, and of poor quality; characterized by poor uptake of existing control technologies i.e. farmer access. This requires a better understanding of farmer decision-making when faced with animal health choices.

Dengue is a severe life threatening, vector borne disease. It infects a big number of people every year. it is disease of urban or peri-urban areas. Aedes aegypti is the principal mosquito responsible for most of the disease outbreaks in world. Aedes albopictus is another common species reported as secondary vector in many parts of the world. It is well known as Asian tiger mosquito having white strips on entire body. Aedes aegypti is also vector of the yellow fever, chikungunya and zika virus disease.
In the absence of any frequently available potent vaccine, application of effective vector control interventions is the best solution. Evidence decision making is key to vector control operation that is based on carefully collected data obtained through comprehensive vector surveillance.
Dengue Vector Surveillance provides fundamental information for application of an appropriate vector control intervention. Vector surveillance and control are strongly interlinked, and vector surveillance loses its worth without utilization of information for appropriate vector control. In Pakistan dengue is endemic in all parts of the country. First epidemic of the disease was reported in 1994 from karachi, thereafter, regular outbreaks are being observed after every 3-5 years.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Introduction
Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious viral disease of small ruminants with a potential to cause mortality of up to 90%. The disease
can be prevented through vaccination and confers a lifelong immunity to the animals. In Uganda, few studies have tackled preferences that would
drive farmers to embrace vaccination of PPR as a disease prevention mechanism. The purpose of this study was to identify and rank attributes that
would be desired by farmers. The identified attributes will be used to design a choice experiment study to assess farmers preferences for PPR
vaccines. The preferred attributes will be used in the designing of an appropriate PPR vaccination strategy.
Methods
• A desk review and 16 sex disaggregated (8 male, 8 female) FGDs in Nakapiripirit, Serere and Isingiro were carried
out to identify the attributes
• Two sex disaggregated FGDs (one male, one female) were conducted in Ngoma subcounty Nakaseke district to
confirm relevance of the identified attributes and to identify additional ones preferred by farmers
• Pairwise ranking was used to gauge the most important attributes by the men and women groups
• The groups then discussed the different levels for the top attributes
• An orthogonal design of 36 scenarios was generated using Ngene software for the attributes and their levels
