Introduction to livestock housing and shelter managementKabul University
The presentation was a part of a lecture at ANASTU university. It describes the history of livestock housing, the introduction of animal behavior, and building design according to their behaviors. Livestock housing and shelter management is the manipulation of the microclimate of animals to suit best to their welfare reducing climatic stress without affecting much to the cost of construction. Problems related to housing cost, ventilation, scarce resources, hygiene, a manifestation of the disease, behavioral concerns.
Agreatculture Indonesia is a startup company that is engaged in agritech based on agriculture information technology and related fields. This is our first pitch deck which is explaining about what we do? what is our product? how can we formed? and important what problems that we gonna solved?
Smarter production, nutrition, and waste management, as well as increased animal welfare and better education, have the potential to decrease the impact of livestock farming on our natural resources

Alternative proteins could substitute traditional proteins, if production cost can be substantially reduced. Cell-based protein production replicates the processes that occur inside a living animal to produce meat. In precision fermentation, gene-edited microbes can make a wide range of organic molecules, such as protein. Swine and ruminants are more susceptible to disruption than poultry, as their easy-to-substitute mince products make up a higher share of value, while substitution of animal-based proteins also opens up new growth platforms, as growing world population still need proteins, albeit from different sources

Slide 1: Title Slide
Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Evolution: Provides insight into the evolution of eukaryotic cells.
Medicine: Understanding mitochondrial inheritance helps in diagnosing and treating mitochondrial diseases.
Agriculture: Chloroplast inheritance can be used in plant breeding and genetic modification.
Slide 9: Recent Research and Advances
Gene Editing: Techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 are being used to edit mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA.
Therapies: Development of mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) for preventing mitochondrial diseases.
Slide 10: Conclusion
Summary: Extrachromosomal inheritance involves the transmission of genetic material outside the nucleus and plays a crucial role in genetics, medicine, and biotechnology.
Future Directions: Continued research and technological advancements hold promise for new treatments and applications.
Slide 11: Questions and Discussion
Invite Audience: Open the floor for any questions or further discussion on the topic.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard 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.

30. www.cgiar.org
PHOTOES
- Take good photos
- Get the right labelling for photos (who are in the photo, where
was the photo taken, date the photo was taken)
- Get the right photo credits too
32. TIP 1: CLEAN YOUR LENSES
Whether you use a
smartphone or a
DSLR, wipe the
camera lens down
before you
33. Portrait
Landscape Square
TIP 2: CHOOSE YOUR FORMAT
Think about where your image will be used. Portrait is best for social media
stories(eg, Instagram). Landsacape and square will fit almost anywhere
34. TIP 3: CHOSE YOUR BACKGROUND
A clean
background
allows the viewer
to focus on the
subject instead of
being distracted
by everything that
is happening in
the background.
35. TIP 4: UNDERSTAND YOUR LIGHT SOURCE
Subject
Light Source
Photographer
36. If the light source(e.g. the sun ) is behind your subjects, your subject will not be seen as the
camera will focus on the light.
39. Medium shot
The medium shot is used to reveal more details on the subject, capturing them from the
waist up. As it includes the subject’s hands and part of their surroundings, it’s the best way to
capture actions in detail, while maintaining a general view. This is why the medium shot is
one of the most popular types of shots.
Full shot
The full shot takes a picture of someone from Head to toe
and captures bit of their surrounding.
40. Close-up shot
A close-up shot tightly frames the subject’s face in order to focus on
their emotions. These types of shots are great to connect with the
audience, as there are no elements distracting them from the subject’s
gestures and reactions.
Medium close-up shot
The medium close-up shot frames the subject from the chest up. It is generally used
to capture enough detail on the subject’s face, while still keeping them within their
surroundings.
41. TIP 6: DON’T JUST SNAP, FOCUS
Make sure your subjects/ objects are in focus when you take any photo
42. Tap on your screen to adjust
the focus
In case of shaky hands, tuck
your elbows into your sides
and hold the camera tight to
your chest to stabilize shots.
44. TIP 8: MAINTAIN PICTURE
QUALITY WHILE SHARING
To maintain high quality images while sharing:
• Share through email
• Share through We transfer
• Include complete captions (Use the Who? What?
Where? When? Why? and how? to develop the
captions)
• Use ‘attach document’ Function to share to Social
Media Team via whatsapp

PRESENTATION OF KII NOTES
SCHEDULE FOR DAY 2
48. www.cgiar.org
FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS
- A focused and interactive discussion with a small
group where everyone gets a chance to talk and
large enough to provide diversity of opinions
- Focus group discussions are defined and narrow
- The group is homogenous on key characteristics
relevant for the study e.g. young men, young
women
- Focus group discussions provide rich and in-depth
data
49. www.cgiar.org
FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS
Focus group discussions can be used to
interrogate:
- peoples' perceptions
- Social cultural norms
- Peoples' practices
- challenges
- Actions/interventions to address identified
challenges
-
50. www.cgiar.org
FGD TOOL/GUIDE
- Is an instrument that guides the conduct of a
focus group discussion
- It should have broad open-ended questions (or
a checklist of topics) that trigger a discussion
- Below each broad question there are few
probing sub-questions
- Enables a broad understanding of an issue in
the community i.e. does not provide for personal
views but group views – consensus and
diverging views
51. www.cgiar.org
TYPE OF FGD QUESTIONS
1. Opening/engagement questions
Introduce the participants and make them
comfortable with the topic of discussion
2. Exploration questions
Get to the gist of the discussion
3. Exit questions
Check to see whether anything was
missed in the discussion
52. www.cgiar.org
FGD – INTRODUCTIONS AND REGISTRATION
• Introduce yourselves to the community
members
• Give a chance to the community members
to introduce themselves
• Explain the purpose of the research
• Seek consent as part of good research
ethical practice
• Registration sheet with social
demographic information, location of the
interview, name of the interview, start and
end time.
53. www.cgiar.org
FGD – INTRODUCTIONS AND REGISTRATION
• Explain the process of engagement/ground
rules
• Get the tape recorders and switch them on as
the interview starts
• Thank the group for participating; let them
know how the results will be used
• If a report will be produced, let them know
when it might be available and how they can
obtain a copy
54. www.cgiar.org
DURATION AND NUMBER OF QUESTIONS
• Avoid fatiguing the respondents
• Ensure depth and engagement of all – have
a few questions that allow all present to
contribute meaningfully
• Don’t go beyond 2 hours (but 30 minutes
will be too brief)
55. www.cgiar.org
FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS
• Let’s understand our FGD tool
• Role plays…
• We need to know the tool by heart
• Do we need to translate some key
terms to ‘Baganda’?
56. www.cgiar.org
NOTE TAKING AND TRANSCRIPTION
- Note taking is a process of documenting the conversations you have had in
the field (either through KII or through the FGD’s). This can be written or
recorded using an audio recorder.
- Transcription is a translation between forms of data. In the social sciences,
converting audio recordings of interviews or discussions to text format.
- Whilst audio-transcription is often part of the analysis process, it also
enhances the sharing and reuse potential of qualitative research data.
- Transcription is the action of providing a written account of spoken words.
In qualitative research, transcription is generally written verbatim (exactly
word-for- word).
57. www.cgiar.org
DON’TS IN NOTE TAKING/TRANSCRIPTION
Don’t
summarize
Don’t
analyze
Don’t add your
own voice
Don’t
exaggerate
Don’t edit out
statements even
when they don’t
make sense to
you
Don’t
leave out
emotions,
body
language
58. www.cgiar.org

59. www.cgiar.org
EXAMPLE OF A TRANSCRIPT
FK: How old were you when you first started to realize you were having
problems with your digestion?
R1: I was, uh, 21 and a half, to be exact, yeah [b laughs shyly]
FK: And do you suffer from celiac or, how would you define your discomfort?
R1: My colonoscopy says no celiac and not inflammatory bowel disease. My
blood marker test says I have inflammatory bowel disease. I would label myself
definitely gluten intolerant.
FK: And for the record, can you describe what that means? Gluten intolerance?
As you would describe it.
-
60. www.cgiar.org
EXAMPLE OF A TRANSCRIPT – CONT’D
R1: Gluten intolerance means that you, your body just does not digest or break down or
really absorb gluten. And that is a protein that is found in wheat. I would also say that I don’t
handle processed wheat well either. Um, and the symptoms are across the board. For me
personally, um, I get, I’ll get joint pains, exhaustion, um, and I just feel incredibly full. After four
or five bites, if I’m having, say, pasta or something where it’s just, after four or five bites, I
can’t eat anymore, feel nauseous. That’s actually where the symptoms really first started.
FK: Was there anything else beyond that? Say migraine headaches or …
R1: Headaches. I have, and it’s gotten a lot better, I had, um, pretty bad hormonal acne, is
what they would call it. Went across the board trying to treat it. I tried creams and antibiotics,
retin-As, all that stuff. When I started to cut out gluten and wheats, my skin cleared up the
best it’s ever been. I even went on Accutane and, I was on Accutane for five months and that
is exactly when my symptoms would appear. I’ve been completely healthy my entire life.

• Summarize the discussion at appropriate points
• Remind participants to start with ‘R1:…’; R2; R3…
• Keep time
• Ensure tables are full and forms signed
• Take pictures of all produced documents
62. Good facilitators
• Encourage discussion; follow up a statement with:
– “Please, tell me more about it…”
– “What do others think?”
– “Are there other opinions or experiences?”
• Refrain from offering own opinion and respect all views
• Keep the focus on relevant issues but….…Encourage divergent opinions to
emerge
• Manage controversy but do not try to resolve conflict
• Probe when an interesting issue comes up (e.g. ‘if I had good forage I would be
empowered…’ ‘interesting! Tell me more about it…’)

THANK YOU
Intersecting categories – Human lives cannot be reduced to single categories – multi categories interact to form one’s identity
social categories, including age, gender identity, sex, and other aspects of one’s lived experience, that interact to form one’s identity
Multi-level analysis – Effects between and across various levels in society – micro, meso, and macro. Pays attention to multi-level power relations and the processes in which power and inequity are produced, reproduced and actively resisted.
Power – power shapes subject positions and categories (e.g., ‘race’) (e.g. racialization and racism); and iii) these processes operate together to shape experiences of privilege and penalty between groups and within them (Collins, 2000).
Reflexivity – consider how one’s own social position, values, assumptions, interests in research process might affect trust and relationship with participants?
Time and space - Intersectionality emphasizes the importance of time and space in any analysis, time and space are not static, fixed or objective
dimensions and/or processes, but are fluid, changeable and experienced through our interpretations,
Diverse knowledge - Including the perspectives and worldviews of people who are typically marginalized or excluded in the production of knowledge can disrupt forces of power that are activated through the production of knowledge
Social justice –Strongly emphasizes social justice and ideally has transformational aims, amplifying the voices of the marginalized. Intersectionality is explicitly oriented towards transformation, building coalitions among different groups, and working towards social justice.
Equity - supports equity analysis through allowing us Allows us to deepen our understanding of inequity through better reflecting the complexity of the real world; a one-size-fits-all approach does not work
