the application of critical pedagogy in educational contexts has received adequate research attention over the last decades. the main focus of this strand of research has, however, been on raising awareness of the educators. nevertheless, little is known about the consequences of the violation of critical pedagogy principles from efl teacher trainers’ perspectives. to begin to address this gap ...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of supplementation with nitrogen and starch on the nutritional performance of grazing cattle during the rainy season. Five rumen cannulated Nellore steers, averaging 211 kg of body weight (BW), were used. Animals grazed on five signal grass paddocks. Five treatments were evaluated: control (forage only), ruminal supplementation with nitroge...

The phenotype of excitatory cerebral cortex neurons is specified at the progenitor level, orchestrated by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Here, we provide evidence for a subcortical contribution to cortical progenitor regulation by thalamic axons via ephrin A5-EphA4 interactions. Ephrin A5 is expressed by thalamic axons and represents a high-affinity ligand for EphA4 receptors detected...

We present a 16-year-old patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome admitted with syncope and aborted sudden cardiac death. Electrocardiography showed only a short PR interval without a delta wave. The QRS transition zone was on V2 in the precordial leads. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory cardiac rhythm monitoring showed an obvious delta wave only at night-time. Electrophysiologic testing was perfo...

Mendel's paper 'Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden' is the best known in a series of studies published in the late 18th and 19th centuries that built our understanding of the mechanism of inheritance. Mendel investigated the segregation of seven gene characters of pea (Pisum sativum), of which four have been identified. Here, we review what is known about the molecular nature of these genes, which...

Aim The objective of the present study was to know the seroprevalence status of Fasciola gigantica infection in cattle and buffaloes using cysteine proteinase (CP) antigen in dot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) format under field conditions. Materials and Methods As per the standard protocol, the sera were collected from the blood of 112 cattle and 38 buffaloes of coastal areas of N...

Lactating rats reinfected with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis fed low-crude protein (CP) foods show reduced lactational performance and less resistance to parasites compared with their high-CP counterparts. Here, we hypothesised that feeding high-CP foods deficient in specific essential amino acids (AA) would result in similar penalties. Second-parity lactating rats, immunised with 1600 N. brasil...
