Abstract This paper scrutinizes how adaptive learning technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming today's education by making it personalized, accessible, efficient as well leading people to accepting, addressing, mitigating sustainable development. Recently, witnessed a remarkable technological surge driven various advances in technology, which can be demonstrated the increase of number scientific publications on this topic from just 1 1990 636 2023. Ongoing digitalization revolution together with novel approach respect each student's unique style abilities paved way for represented innovative tools that personalize educational experiences cater individual learners. All contributes preparing more educated informed citizens, drives innovation, supports economic growth necessary achieving future. Our bibliographic study employs VOSviewer conduct bibliometric analysis total 3518 selected using keywords “adaptive learning” “AI” (represented articles, proceeding papers, book chapters) indexed Web Science (WoS) database 2024. results demonstrate recent changes played key role learning, was rather reinforced “digital surge” brought about COVID‐19 pandemic. findings useful further development field where they employed relevant stakeholders policymakers scholars researchers.

Assessing the impact of thermoregulatory mineral supplementation on thermal comfort in lactating Holstein cows

Veterinary and Animal Science, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 24, С. 100363 - 100363

Опубликована: Май 24, 2024

Heat stress (HS) occurs when animals are enable to effectively dissipate excessive body heat, potentially affecting their welfare and productivity. Several tools can be used mitigate HS in dairy cows. The aim of this study was evaluate the effect thermoregulatory mineral supplementation on cows' physiological response reproductive status. Thirty pluriparous Holstein cows (2.8 ± 0.3 lactation), from a semi confinement production system (freestall barn), were enrolled 35 days duration experiment, divided into two groups: 15 receiving mixture containing calcium, sodium, chlorine, potassium (200 g/day; TRT); and, that did not receive any type supplement (CON). Data respiration rates (RR), rectal temperature (RT), milk yield, barn temperature, relative humidity, humidity index (THI) obtained weekly evaluations (D7, D14, D21, D28, D35). ANOVA correlation analysis compare variables between groups, climate variables, regardless group. Related farm's protocols, D0 D35, all submitted US evaluation categorized as inseminated, pregnant, data analysed using Fisher's exact test. Cows TRT group had lower RT, compared CON (38,8°C 39,0°C, respectively; P = 0.0147), however both averages within range. As stronger positive correlations found RR RT with THI.

A Preliminary Study of the Effects of Gaseous Ozone on the Microbiological and Chemical Characteristics of Whole-Plant Corn Silage

Fermentation, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 10(8), С. 398 - 398

Опубликована: Авг. 1, 2024

This study investigated the effect of gaseous ozone (O3) on chemical and microbiological properties whole-plant corn silage. Conducted a commercial dairy farm in Brazil, maize was ensiled experimental bag silos treated with varying levels O3 (0%, 1.25%, 3.12%, 4.15%, 6.25%). The findings revealed minimal nutrient losses starch, non-fiber carbohydrates, crude protein, total digestible nutrients compared to untreated fresh maize. O3-treated silages exhibited increased ash, ether extract, calcium, phosphorus. Notably, application 3.12% 4.15% improved characteristics, significantly reducing mold yeast populations, which are common issues farm-produced demonstrated that is promising additive for enhancing quality silage, offering an effective alternative traditional preservatives.

From Posts to Practice - Instagram's Role in Veterinary Dairy Cow Nutrition Education: How Does the Audience Interact and Apply Knowledge? A Survey Study

Journal of Dairy Science, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Дек. 1, 2024

This study evaluates Instagram's efficacy as an educational tool in veterinary sciences, focusing on dairy cow nutrition and management. Using the Instagram account "Stalla Didattica Unibo," established December 2020, a survey was conducted with 102 respondents, primarily consisting of university students (44.12%). The respondents were divided into 2 major groups: general population, latter comprising professionals others not currently programs. In overall age group 25-34 accounted for 51%, but among students, it 73.3%. terms gender distribution, there female majority population (59.8%) male (73.3%). Most responders from Italy, Emilia-Romagna contributing significantly. Engagement measured only by length time participants followed also active interactions such likes, comments, shares. Among total 47.1% had page over year, compared 37.8% students. Importantly, engagement metrics showed participation, reporting improved knowledge (75.6% 74.5% students) practical application content (64.4% 67.6% students). Content preferences varied, favoring quizzes (33.3%) stories (17.8%), while stronger preference standard posts (36.3%). Impact defined perceived influence respondents' learning professional practices, 46.7% 52.9% agreeing or strongly that positive impact their skills. Furthermore, 84.3% 77.8% stated they would recommend to others, underscoring account's effectiveness digital tool. highlights potential enhance education suggests further research explore broader these strategies across different contexts platforms.

The impact of 15% dietary inclusion Spirulina ( Arthrospira platensis ) in broiler chickens was explored, focusing on blood cellular components, systemic metabolites and hepatic lipid mineral composition. From days 14 to 35 age, 120 were divided allocated into four treatments: a standard corn soybean meal-based diet (control), diet, extruded super-dosed with an enzyme blend (0.20% porcine pancreatin plus 0.01% lysozyme). haematological analysis revealed no significant deviations p > 0.05) cell counts across treatments, suggesting that high maintains balance. metabolic assessment indicated enhanced antioxidant capacity birds diets < 0.001), pointing toward potential reduction oxidative stress. However, the study noted detrimental growth performance metrics, such as final body weight feed conversion ratio (both Spirulina-fed supplementation failing alleviate these effects but extrusion mitigating them. Regarding composition, enzyme-supplemented showed notable increase n -3 fatty acids (EPA, DPA, DHA) leading improved -6/ PUFA 0.001). Despite this positive shift, total lipids = 0.003) observed without change cholesterol levels.

Duckweeds (water lentils) are a nutritious human food source, with Wolffia species consumed traditionally in Eastern Asia. Duckweed contain up to 45% protein by dry weight, high macronutrients, minerals and carotenoids. However, duckweed not cultivated at scale there circa 35 other consider for potential global regions. Here, we measured the suitability of four Lemna Spirodela polyrhiza nutritional assessment, scaling growth 25 ecotypes from United Kingdom glasshouse. Here showed intra- inter-species variation aromatic metabolic profiles, together biomass obtained production. The dominant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) hexanal, 1-penten-3-one, 1-penten-3-ol, cis-2-pentanol pentadecanal, variations amounts 22 between species. In comparison leafy herbs, aroma profiles were most similar spinach dandelion 'green' 'fresh' compounds. contained flavonoids including apigenin luteolin, offering benefits health.
