IMPROVING GASTROINTESTINAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING IN DOGS UNDER KENNEL CONDITIONS: A STUDY OF THE EFFICACY OF A NATURAL DIETARY SUPPLEMENT

Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders remain a significant health concern in dogs, particularly those exposed to chronic stressors of breeding or kennel environments. Under such conditions, characterized by repeated pregnancies, environmental instability, and social stress, dogs are especially vulnerable to chronic stress and gut disturbances that can lead to dysbiosis, gastroenteritis, diarrhea, leaky gut syndrome, and other inflammatory GI disorders. Oxidative stress has been identified as a key ...

Prediction of Actual Evapotranspiration and Analysis of Air Temperature Trends and Pattern Similarities: A Machine Learning and Statistical Approach

Actual Evapotranspiration (AET) refers to the total amount of water transferred from the Earth’s surface to the atmosphere through the processes of evaporation (from soil, water, and other surfaces) and transpiration (from plants, mainly through their leaves). AET is a crucial element of the hydrological cycle, influencing the energy balance across soil, atmosphere, and vegetation systems. An accurate understanding of AET is essential for effective water resource management, especially within...

Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and SMEs internationalization strategies in the digital era

Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (EEs) are at the heart of many European governments strategies to support the internationalization of Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs). The reasons are twofold: on one hand SMEs are genuinely woven into the European economic and social fabric and their survival largely depends of their capacity to internationalize. On the other hand, the literature highlights that SMEs access to international markets is facilitated when they belong to an EE. This beneficial...

IL RISARCIMENTO TRA DANNO-EVENTO E DANNO-CONSEGUENZA. II problema del risarcimento senza danno nel diritto italiano e inglese

La tesi esamina il rapporto tra danno-evento e danno-conseguenza nel sistema della responsabilità civile, interrogandosi sulla possibilità di riconoscere il risarcimento anche in assenza del secondo. L’indagine prende le mosse dalla costruzione tradizionale secondo cui la sola lesione di un diritto non è sufficiente a fondare l’obbligazione risarcitoria, occorrendo anche la prova di un pregiudizio concreto, e si propone di verificare se tale impostazione sia ancora attuale. A tal fine, l’elab...

The Team Orienteering Problem with Service Times and Mandatory & Incompatible Nodes

The thesis investigates a new variant of the Team Orienteering Problem (TOP), namely the Team Orienteering Problem with Service Time and Mandatory & Incompatible Nodes (TOP-ST-MIN). This problem generalises two real-world healthcare applications: (i) the daily swab test collection and (ii) the ambulance routing in post-disaster management. The TOP-ST-MIN is NP-hard and even determining a feasible solution has been shown to be NP-complete. Two mathematical formulations and corresponding exact...

Synthesis, Processing and Modification of NMC811 Cathodes for High-Performance and More Sustainable Lithium-Ion Batteries

This thesis addresses the critical sustainability and performance challenges inherent in the manufacturing of high-performance lithium-ion batteries, with a specific focus on the synthesis, processing, and modification of Nickel-rich NMC811 cathodes. As the global energy landscape shifts towards electrification, particularly in the transport sector, the demand for high-energy-density storage solutions has intensified. However, conventional battery manufacturing methods have significant obstac...

IDENTIFICATION OF TBC1D7 AS A METABOLIC PROGNOSTIC BIOMARKER IN BREAST CANCER

Cancer cells undergo metabolic alterations that serve the anabolic and energy demands of the growing tumor and promote its immune evasion [1]. These metabolic alterations might change during tumor evolution to support adaptation of cancer cells to environmental stresses and nutrient deprivation [2]. However, the molecular determinants that support this metabolic plasticity are still largely uncharacterized. Mechanistic insights might come from the study of membrane trafficking since metabolis...

The Role of Religion: Gender Identity Formation in Late Modern and Contemporary Iran

This dissertation examines the interplay between religion, gender identity, and women's agency within the socio-political sphere of Iran, spanning from the late Qajar period to contemporary history. It focuses on the pervasive influence of both secular and religious patriarchal systems, on Iranian women's lives throughout history, highlighting how these structures have consistently undermined women's rights. It seeks to explore whether the entrenchment of these dual patriarchal systems allows...
