The Training Implications Of A Social Care Approach To Working With Older People, Carmel Gallagher, Kathleen Kennedy Jan 2003

The Training Implications Of A Social Care Approach To Working With Older People, Carmel Gallagher, Kathleen Kennedy

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies

While care of older people involves both medical and social care nursing homes are essentially an extension of the functions of the home rather than of a hospital. The largest group of employees in residential care settings are nurses and care attendants. A medical model could be said to dominate not a social care approach. However there has been a move away from large institutional settings with a hospital atmosphere to smaller more homely units where there is more emphasis on purposive activity and links with the community. Traditionally many of the day services for older people were provided by …

Evaluation Of Cow And Calf Performance And Profit Potential In Beef Systems, Rosemary Anderson, Richard J. Rasby, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Casey Macken Jan 2003

Evaluation Of Cow And Calf Performance And Profit Potential In Beef Systems, Rosemary Anderson, Richard J. Rasby, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Casey Macken

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A three-year experiment was conducted to determine the production efficiencies of two beef systems. Spring-calving, crossbred cows were either wintered on pasture (Control System) or on corn stalks (Treatment System). Control System steers were transported to a feedlot, fed a finishing diet and harvested. Treatment System steers were wintered on corn stalks, grazed pasture, fed a finishing diet, and harvested. Cow weights and condition differed but pregnancy rates were similar. Control System steers spent more days in the feedlot, had lower feed conversions and higher marbling scores. Treatment System steers had higher average daily gains and produced heavier carcasses.

The Effects Of Tumbler Volume On Roasted Beef Quality, Mike Baczwaski, Roger W. Mandigo, Jesus Velazco Jan 2003

The Effects Of Tumbler Volume On Roasted Beef Quality, Mike Baczwaski, Roger W. Mandigo, Jesus Velazco

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Semitendinosus beef muscles (n = 108) were used to determine optimum tumbler volume with regards to meat quality. Fill capacity of 2/3 meat had lower shear force values than capacities of 1/2 (P = 0.02) and 1/3 (P < 0 .01). Texture profile analysis showed favorable results among treatments. Hardness was lower with 2/3 capacity than 1/2 (P = 0.02) and 1/3 (P = 0.06). Gumminess favored 2/3 capacity over 1/2 (P = 0.02). Springiness favored 1/2 capacity over 1/3 capacity (P < 0.01) and 2/3 capacity (P=0.04). Purge, absorption rate during tumbling, absorption rate after rest, cooking loss and yield had no effect between treatments.

Quality Traits Of Grain- And Grass-Fed Beef: A Review, Perry Brewer, Chris R. Calkins Jan 2003

Quality Traits Of Grain- And Grass-Fed Beef: A Review, Perry Brewer, Chris R. Calkins

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Carcasses from grass-fed beef have lower fat thickness and lighter carcass weights, which increases the risk for cold shortening and reduces muscle proteolysis, both of which would reduce beef tenderness. A review of nine research papers indicates grass-fed beef is lower in tenderness (both from shear force and by taste panel), flavor and overall acceptability/desirability ratings.

Impact Of Manure Application On Phosphorus In Surface Runoff And Soil Erosion, Christina Gossin, Gregory J. Teichmeier, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Daniel T. Walters Jan 2003

Impact Of Manure Application On Phosphorus In Surface Runoff And Soil Erosion, Christina Gossin, Gregory J. Teichmeier, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Daniel T. Walters

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Effects of method of manure management and dietary P were compared on 21 natural runoff plots to monitor the long-term impact of dietary P to P losses in runoff and erosion. Reducing feed P resulted in a 33% reduction in manure P content and soil test P buildup and runoff losses of P also were directly proportional to feed P inputs. The timing and management of manure are also important considerations for controlling P losses in runoff in the year of application. However, residual effects of timing and management are probably small. Management criteria designed to assess the potential for …

Feeding Kelp Meal In Feedlot Diets, Wanda Kreikemeier, Terry L. Mader, Shane Davis, Dan Colling Jan 2003

Feeding Kelp Meal In Feedlot Diets, Wanda Kreikemeier, Terry L. Mader, Shane Davis, Dan Colling

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Three trials were conducted to assess the effects of feeding kelp meal to feedlot cattle. In Trial 1, two commercial feedlots were utilized to determine the effects of kelp meal fed to finishing steers exposed to heat stress. Trial 2 was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding kelp meal in receiving feedlot steer diets. Trial 3 assessed the effects of kelp meal on performance and carcass characteristics when finishing feedlot heifers were exposed to heat stress. Panting scores were reduced in commercial pens of cattle fed kelp meal while dry matter intakes were maintained. Water intake and dry matter …

Amino Acid Supplementation To Growing Heifers Fed Soypass®, James C. Macdonald, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Casey Macken Jan 2003

Amino Acid Supplementation To Growing Heifers Fed Soypass®, James C. Macdonald, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Casey Macken

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Sixty individually fed heifers were used in an 84-day growing trial to determine effects of adding rumen protected methionine and/or bloodmeal on performance of growing heifers supplemented with Soypass®. Treatments were designed to be a 2x2 factorial with diets supplemented with or without rumen protected methionine and bloodmeal (0.3% of DM) to provide 0.72 g per day of additional histidine as factors. The rumen protected methionine source, Smartamine M®, provided 1.85 g per day of additional methionine. No statistical differences in performance among treatments were observed, suggesting growing animals fed Soypass® do not benefit from addition of supplemental rumen protected …

Health Practices Of Homeless Women, Margaret Chaney Wilson Jan 2003

Health Practices Of Homeless Women, Margaret Chaney Wilson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Homeless women and female-headed families represent the fastest growing subgroups of homeless individuals. To expand the body of knowledge and provide further insight into the complex area of homelessness and health, health practices of homeless women were investigated using a cross-sectional, descriptive, and non-experimental design using Pender's Health Promotion Model as the theoretical framework. Homeless women (N=137) were recruited from five shelters in northeastern Indiana. Homeless women in this study were found to be highly educated, mostly unemployed, and primarily single. A greater number of African Americans than represented in the local population were found to be shelter residents. Health …

A New Era In Humane Education: How Troubling Youth Trends And A Call For Character Education Are Breathing New Life Into Efforts To Educate Our Youth About The Value Of All Life, Lydia S. Antoncic Jan 2003

A New Era In Humane Education: How Troubling Youth Trends And A Call For Character Education Are Breathing New Life Into Efforts To Educate Our Youth About The Value Of All Life, Lydia S. Antoncic

Animal Law Review

The purpose of education is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself, to make his own decisions, to say to himself this is black or this is white, to decide for himself whether there is a God in heaven or not. To ask questions of the universe, and then to learn to live with those questions, is the way he achieves his own identity. But no society is really anxious to have that kind of person around. What societies really, ideally want is a citizenry which will simply obey the rules of society. …

Influence Of Three Soil Types On The Physical, Chemical, And Organoleptic Characteristics Of Two Varieties Of Kidney Tomato Hydroponically Cultivated Under A Panqar Huyu System, Carlos Fernando Yepez Vallejo

Theses and Dissertations

One of the largest problems that face communities located high in the Andres Mountain range is the lack of crop diversity due to the climate characteristics of this zone. Because of this, the Benson Institute created a small subterranean greenhouse called a "panqar-huyu," which in Aymara means "flower garden," that allows cultivation of small and medium-sized crops. This study's objective is to modify and adapt this system to cultivate table (kidney) tomatoes, for which one was enlarged, a drip irrigation system was installed, channels were dug to drain groundwater from the interior, etc. This study was done in the community …
