Individuals around the world believe global climate change is a major threat, with media attention and polling suggesting young adults may decide to go childfree as result. Yet, there limited research on link between environmental concern reproductive attitudes. The purpose of this was explore how change-related concerns affect attitudes motivations remain childfree. Two studies were conducted:...

In this demonstration, we show various querying capabilities of an application called AIDA. AIDA is developed to help the study of attention disorder in kids. In a different study [1], we collected several immresive sensory data streams from kids monitored in an immersive application called the virtual classroom. This dataset, termed immersidata is used to analyze the behavior of kids in the vi...

The aim of the present study was to study the effects of social instability (regrouping) during the second trimester (7 weeks) of pregnancy on aggression, cortisol concentrations and growth in goats and its consequences for survival, growth and some aspects of behavioural development in the kids. Six weeks after mating, 32 goats were distributed into eight groups. In four of the groups, randoml...

So on average, a woman with more than two kids works 6 weeks fewer than her counterpart with fewer than 2 kids. The result changes a little after we include age as the regressor. The question is, does this correlation imply causality? So the key regressor is morekids. The main concern is that morekids may be endogenous, i.e., correlated with the error term, due to simultaneity or omitted variab...

A study was carried out in Faridpur, Habiganj and Barisal to identify the prevalence of diseases, morbidity and mortality of Black Bengal goats (BBGs) under semi-intensive system reared by moderate and ultra poor households in Bangladesh during the period from February 2008 to July 2009. A total of 168 female goats and 9 bucks were recorded from two types of households of which 125 goats were i...

Ten male Nubian kids, 6 months old, were used to investigate the effect of castration on production performance and some blood metabolites (glucose, total cholesterol, total protein, albumin, globulin, urea and uric acid). Five males were castrated using Burdizzo method, while equal number and weight of animals remained intact. The kids were individually accommodated and fed ad libitum on a con...

The aim was to investigate the growth of certain non-carcass components and hind limb tissues using allometric coefficients in Saanen goat kids reared under natural artificial systems slaughtered at 80 days or 120 age. 42 were used study [(24 (SA-80: 12 kids, SA-120: kids), 18 9 kids)] for determination indicated parameters. effect rearing system not significant weights tissue compositions, whi...

The heterogenous nature of breast tumours (Hawkins et al., 1977; Silfversward et al., 1980) complicates the application of oestrogen receptor assay results to the management of breast cancer. Much effort has therefore been expended on the development of histochemical assays to detect receptors in tissue sections, initially with oestrogenprotein conjugates (e.g. Pertschuk et al., 1979; Lee, 1978...

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of mineral supplementation on post-parturient complication in pregnant goats and perinatal mortality in their kids. The study revealed increased in survival percentage of kids and reduced post parturient complication during kidding in mineral supplemented group than non supplemented group. From the present study it is concluded that the suppl...
