The concept of the Deep State is the very essence of the conspiracy theory. A shadowy organisation operating deep with our society to undermine our freedoms and economic welfare for the benefit of elites.
Is this based on any real evidence to is it more likely that the Deep State is actually simply the manifestation of the state itself? Has there ever been a society that was not founded by and effectively controlled by elites?
More to the point why do those who so fervently rail against the concept of elites believe that an uneducated proletariat, driven by a largely mythological idea of what democracy is, could function without a deep infrastructure?

Significance of Nano urea over urea
Relevant answer
Answer
I recommended the answer of Ahmed Y. Yassin . But I want to add to the answer. Urea dissolves well in water (soil). Therefore, to make nanourea, urea molecules are coated with a nanoshell of poorly soluble polymers. The main advantage of nanourea is its gradual release. No overdose of urea in the soil. The toxicity of both granulated urea and nanourea will depend on the concentration of urea absorbed by the plant.

My question is trying to make an understanding of the re-entry policy regarding the welfare of the girl child as far as education is concerned. Is it a complete dose that can help the situation of the girls' education in Zambia or does it need to be complete?
Relevant answer
The Re-Entry Policy in Zambia have over time had revelation in boosting of education among girls who get pregnant while in school. However, for it to be very effective it requires to be implemented effectively and to be supported by different stakeholders including teachers, parents, and community leaders. As such, if these challenges and gaps can be identified and dealt with, the policy could be enhanced so that improved educational results are noted among the girls.
A complete analysis would involve
  • Quantitative Data Analysis: Employing quantitative methods on the data on re-entry rates returned students, successes of attainment of education and health status.
  • Qualitative Data Collection: Semi structured interviews to stakeholders, such as the teachers, parents and the girls, in order to capture a qualitative account of their experiences.
  • Case Study Approach: Characterizing in detail case examples of schools where the policy has been put into practice to determine those practices that will bring the policy into fruition.
  • Policy Review: Carrying an analysis of the existing literature that searched for effective experiences in similar policies in other countries.
By adopting these approaches, one is in a position to understand the merits and demerits of the Re-entry Policy for girl children education in Zambia and how to come up with modification and recommendation to improve this policy.

What differences principal betwen DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS and ECONOMICS DEVELOPMENT?
1. The purposed?
2. Indicator of betwen DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS and ECONOMICS DEVELOPMENT.
3. Which importance betwen DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS and ECONOMICS DEVELOPMENT for welfare society.
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello!
I think that:
  • ->Development economics<- is about financial and material flows between market's (both public and private / third sector) activities concerning building infrastructure such as water wells (as a source of clean, affordable, potable water), water & sanitation pipelines / installations; street lamps (increase in safety of public spaces, especially at night) and planting electrical and Internet cable lines (for accommodation- when people will have electricity in their houses and flats, then they may have for example a working TV set, gaming console or a computer with Internet access- this can make people, especially young, stay in their homes longer, thus limiting their opportunities in partaking in antisocial and destructive activities, conduct and behavior, to which impoverished city, rural or suburban environments are prone of); affordable social housing for impoverished people (slum clearance); hygiene training, proper garbage removal from living quarters, vaccination programs; family planing and birth control (avoiding additional unwanted children, which makes financial matters worse in impoverished families), emergency food distributions; providing improvements for agriculture- teaching farmers better agricultural techniques, giving them affordable soil fertilizers and pesticides etc., building schools (teaching children in order for them to become more skilled workers in the future, providing for themselves, their families and communities); providing vocational training for adults (in order to make them find jobs and get out of poverty, thus improving the standards of affected communities); providing impoverished, but self-employed people (such as carpenters) an affordable micro-loans (in order for them to get out of the cycle of reimbursment through labour and cut their dependency on embedded raw materials supplier, so they can develop their businesses as self-sustaining companies.); protecting affected communities from crony financial services (loan sharks for example), from violent and sex crime and from dangerous weapons and drugs (proper policing and public safety enforcing), promote sports (especially squad based games- increases the social cohesion and cooperation values, enhances general health of the population).
  • ->Economics development<- is about making economical situation of a state better-> increase given country's GDP, increase foreign and domestic investment, by making public policies and laws more friendly to direct greenfield / brownfield investment (removing property taxes or setting them at low, fixed level, tax cuts, investment support through subsidies, responsible environmental laws, balanced labour laws etc.) and thus promote industrialization, build big infrastructure in a country- roads, railways, ports (if given contry has access to the sea or have proper river system), build power stations, for example small renewable energy installations such as windmills in order to produce affordable electricity for local population; build mobile phone and wireless Internet relay towers, in order to increase the flow of information, promote activity (including economical one- for example selling one's product on the Internet), eradicate corruption of public officials; fight organised crime on a coordinated, state level, promote country as a tourist destination (if given country has proper things to show to tourists), combat infectious diseases and typical health ailments which are widespread in a state's society, disarm the population (avoiding armed rebellions), maintain proper and healthy balance between civil sector and armed forces (avoiding coups and armed rebellions)-promoting stability of the state.
So:
  1. The purpose of development economics and economics development are to improve economical, and thus social and cultural well-being of citizens of given country.
  2. Development economics concerns itself with improving the economical circumstances- food availability, industrial output and proper labour market and also a safety, health, housing, sanitation, education and entertainment of selected local population- for example the residents of a given slum districts in particular district of the large city in an impoverished country. Economics development concerns itself with improving the economic, and thus social, medical and cultural well-being of the whole state, by enacting appropiate law and public policies.
  3. Development economics and economics development for society's welfare goes hand-in-hand->these activities are co-dependent on each other. A given state, by starting a program of economics development, can enact and / or amend laws which help with economic growth by easing / simplifying / making investment more profitable, and by that increase agricultural and industrial output (together with development economics programs such as vocational training for adults and adolescent education (because they can quickly join the workforce), at first on loan, probably foreign) and thus increasing tax revenue for the state, which in turn can spend that increased tax revenue on development economics programs- by building housing and clearing the slums, building big and small infrastructure (which in itself creates more tax revenue, due to the state's investment funds being spend on materials / labour, and thus, providers of that materials and workers on this investments have more money which can spend on their wants and needs, thus making more taxes for the state- due to taxes paid by providers of the aforementioned parties needs (it is a self-propelling mechanism). This will also make private domestic and profusely foreign investment more feasible (due to better public infrastructure), thus the state will make more tax revenue. Then, it can be spend on loan repayment (the loan that were took for first development economics program->vocational training for adult and adolescents) and on social programs - such as improving health, vaccinations and prophylaxis, which in turn result in more healthy population, which (paradoxically) reduces costs of health in the overall country budget (due to better Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY)- people are healthier, live longer (and thus can work longer) and when they retire because they are old, but are healthy, they will costs the state financial system much less than if they were old and sick or even throughoutly disabled). Later, better economic conditions will result in people buying better, and therefore costlier goods and amenities (more taxes for the state) and will also increase demand on better housing. At that point, private domestic investors should afford such investment without the help of the state. Thus increasing demand on another types of goods and hiring more workers, who spend their money-> now, in the country there is an economic boom- state is more rich and can afford on better public projects (for example on total development economics project which provide proper housing, sanitation, amenities and proper health, social and educational services for the whole population of the state, thus boosting the aforementioned country's economic boom. Now, the reasonable state will make sure to make an improvement on raw materials industry (mining, agriculture, forestry)- by enacting a ban (or at least heavy limitations) on exports of raw materials from the country (the state can now do it even by force (due to having more bargaining power thanks to economic boom and improved financial situation to withstand possible backlash and / or make a public investment if there is one needed in making given raw material at least partially processed status or even semi-finished product). Now, even more reasonable state will enact strong and radical family planning (birth control) edicts, forcefully reducing the fertility of the population, in order to avoid a situation, where there will be a youth bulge (due to greater fertility and less infant mortality (thanks to improvements in housing, sanitation, food supply and better health services)- so many young people that the state's economy will be unable to give employment to them all, thus provoking an appearance of high youth unemployment, which the state will be forced to take care of. And that case is not so easy- the state cannot just kill the surplus youth, so it would be forced to give them welfare support (which will cost a lot). Then, those young people, due to boredom and lack of purpose, will fall into drugs and then into violent crime, and due to the sheer numbers of them thus severely deteriorate the public order and safety, which in turn will severely hamper further economic growth, social mobility and foreign investment and tourism. In order to combat this, the state will be forced to invest a lot of resources into security services (police etc.), which will lead to even more violence and even worse situation and quickly what was achieved with such a beautiful plan and commitment of whole population will be lost.
I hope that my little screed will help you with your assignment :)

Energy subsidy being majorly contributing to current expenditure is impacting the fiscal deficit highly so, an optimal level is required. The policy of energy subsidy is to improve the welfare losses of poor hence in case of Pakistan it is not increasing the welfare of poor rather benefiting the riches and contributes to fiscal deficit burden of Pakistan. For this analysis of most recent energy policy is required.
Relevant answer
Answer
Finding the optimal level of energy subsidy involves a comprehensive analysis of economic, environmental, and social factors. This process includes assessing the impact of subsidies on energy consumption, production costs, and the overall economy. Utilizing econometric models and conducting cost-benefit analyses can help determine the subsidy level that maximizes welfare while minimizing negative externalities. It's also essential to consider the long-term sustainability of subsidies and their alignment with national energy goals. For the most recent energy subsidy policies in Pakistan, you can refer to government publications, official announcements from the Ministry of Energy, and reports from relevant organizations such as the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics or international bodies like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. Accessing these documents might require visiting official government websites, consulting energy sector reports, or using databases like those provided by academic institutions and policy research organizations.

The inquiry aims to understand and provide guidelines on the storage and management of specimens in the laboratory as it may influence the integrity of delicate samples, as discussed in the article of Rajeshwar Reddy Kasarla and Laxmi Pathak entitled "Tenets of Specimen Management in Diagnostic Microbiology." By scrutinizing specimen handling practices, including storage protocols and laboratory procedures, healthcare practitioners can identify avenues for enhancing the utilization of clinical microbiologist services to ensure accurate diagnostic results and enhance patient care and welfare.
Relevant answer
According to the Review Article of Kasarla and Pathak (2023), if processing of specimen is not done within 2 hours after collection, the specimen should be stored at 4°C. The Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) sample should be kept in an incubator at 37°C if delay of testing is inevitable. However, it must be kept in mind to not refrigerate CSF sample as delicate pathogens like Haemophilus influenzae may die.

Relevant answer
Answer
Thank you Mitzi for your comment! Kinsey also concluded decades ago that women marry to establish a loving and supportive relationship that allows them to raise a family. But men tend to marry to obtain a regular sexual outlet. This is a fundamental difference between the sexes. Men look for sex. Women look for a relationship - affection and companionship. I wish more women would tell men this instead of allowing men to imply that women seek relationships in order to enjoy sexual pleasure as men do.

Himanshu Tiwari Himanshu, As a follow-up to my previous comment about programs to control population is a story titled, "China Told Women to Have Babies, but Its Population Shrank Again" in the Jan 16, 2024 New York Times.
Faced with falling births, China’s efforts to stabilize a shrinking population and maintain economic growth are failing. China’s ruling Communist Party is facing a national emergency. To fix it, the party wants more women to have more babies. It has offered them sweeteners, like cheaper housing, tax benefits and cash. It has also invoked patriotism, calling on them to be “good wives and mothers.” — “ The efforts aren’t working. Chinese women have been shunning marriage and babies at such a rapid pace that China’s population in 2023 shrank for the second straight year, accelerating the government’s sense of crisis over the country’s rapidly aging population and its economic future.” see link below;

Please is ethical to collect data using international currency like the US Dollar and generalised for countries with different welfare levels, Balance of Payment and other macro variables that can influence the exchange of local currencies and the US Dollar. What is the alternative to this method?
Relevant answer
Answer
I presume that you are trying to estimate a model of exchange rate determination for various West African countries
Most of your data is probably already available in the International Monetary IFS databank. You might also consult the Pen World table database (https://www.rug.nl/ggdc/productivity/pwt/?lang=en). The Pen World Table time series are converted to a common currency using purchasing power parities rather than exchange rates. This should lead to more comparable data for various economic series. You may need to supplement this data from other sources depending on your assumptions.
One of the assumptions underlying standard panel data estimation (e.g. fixed and random effects) is that the coefficient of each explanatory variable is the same in all countries in the model. This might not be true for a model of exchange rate determination in different countries. Thus panel analysis might not be appropriate. Also, you probably have the problem that the residuals in your model are likely to be correlated across countries, (An economic shock will have similar or opposite effects across countries)
You are now facing two problems
  1. Your econometrics are becoming difficult.
  2. Good exchange rate models are also difficult.
Talk to your supervisor and ask what is expected. I don't know how much time you have to complete this project. Make sure that you do something that is consistent with your knowledge of economics, econometrics, and mathematics, and that can be completed within the available time.

I am planning to assess the extent of different income diversification strategies on rural household welfare. Considering simultaneous causality between different livelihood strategies and welfare indicators, the Two Stage Least Square (2SLS) method with instrumental variables will applied to estimate the impact of the strategies on household welfare.
Please check the attached file also. I just need to know which regression was used in table 4 of this paper and which tool (SPSS, STATA, R, etc.) I need to use to analyse the data.
Relevant answer
Answer
To perform two-stage least squares (2SLS) methods, you can follow these steps:
  1. Identify your endogenous and exogenous variables. The endogenous variable is the variable that you are interested in explaining. The exogenous variables are the variables that you believe influence the endogenous variable.
  2. Find instrumental variables.Instrumental variables are variables that are correlated with the endogenous variable but not with the error term.
  3. Run the first stage regression. In the first stage regression, you will regress the endogenous variable on the instrumental variables.
  4. Use the predicted values from the first stage regression in the second stage regression. In the second stage regression, you will regress the endogenous variable on the exogenous variables and the predicted values from the first stage regression.
The coefficient on the endogenous variable in the second stage regression is the 2SLS estimate of the effect of the exogenous variables on the endogenous variable.
Here is an example of how to perform 2SLS methods in R:

Answer
Disposing of plastic and garbage near a city in the water of a river is highly inappropriate and can lead to severe water pollution and environmental degradation. When waste, including plastics, is improperly disposed of in rivers, it can have several negative consequences:
  1. Water Pollution: Plastics and garbage can release harmful chemicals and pollutants into the water, contaminating the river. This pollution can affect the quality of water downstream, making it unsafe for human consumption and detrimental to aquatic life.
  2. Habitat Destruction: The accumulation of garbage and plastics in rivers can destroy natural habitats for fish, birds, and other wildlife. It can also lead to clogging of waterways and disrupt the ecosystem.
  3. Flooding and Drainage Issues: Improper disposal of garbage can obstruct water flow, leading to flooding during heavy rainfall. Blocked drainage systems can exacerbate flooding in urban areas.
  4. Public Health Concerns: The presence of plastics and garbage in rivers can pose health risks to people who depend on the water for drinking, bathing, and other activities. Contaminated water can cause waterborne diseases and other health problems.
To control water pollution and protect the quality of water supplied by rivers, it is essential to implement proper waste management and pollution control measures:
  1. Waste Collection and Disposal: Establish a waste collection system to ensure that garbage is properly disposed of in designated landfills or recycling facilities, away from water sources.
  2. Plastic Waste Management: Implement measures to reduce plastic usage and encourage recycling. Establish programs for plastic recycling and ban single-use plastics where possible.
  3. Wastewater Treatment: Implement effective wastewater treatment plants to treat sewage and industrial effluents before discharging them into rivers.
  4. Public Awareness and Education: Raise awareness among the public about the importance of proper waste disposal and its impact on water quality.
  5. Regulatory Measures: Enforce strict environmental regulations and penalties for illegal dumping and improper waste disposal.
  6. River Cleanup Initiatives: Organize River cleanup campaigns to remove existing plastic and garbage from water bodies.
By adopting these measures and promoting responsible waste management, it is possible to control water pollution and protect the quality of water supplied by rivers, benefiting both the environment and human health.

Do you and your team have interesting results to share Linking Avian Physiology to Welfare? Would you like to submit them to a Research Topic in Frontiers in Physiology, Section Avian Physiology? If both answers are "YES", follow the link: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/41580/linking-avian-physiology-to-welfare#overview Short description: Avian physiology and avian welfare are unequivocally linked. One of the seminal definitions of animal welfare indicates it is the "state of an animal as regards its attempts to cope with its environment". Developed as a hybrid scientific discipline, animal welfare has inspired part of its bases in physiology. In this sense, birds' abilities to cope with their environment have underlying physiological limits, as well as dynamical transition states which must be revealed and understood. Various environmental factors are known to challenge avian homeostasis (or rather, homeodynamics). Consequently, a series of physiological components and/or systems are activated to process the stimuli and coordinate the proper response, which may often involve behavioral aspects as well. This would lead to increased energy expenditure and the potential occurrence of various trade-offs aimed at coping. The mentioned environmental factors, i.e. stressors, challenge the avian' much-needed internal balance and may cause their attempts to cope with their environment to fail, directly impairing avian welfare.

What is the impact of industrial agriculture on animal welfare, and how can ethical concerns be addressed in farming practices?
Relevant answer
Answer
Industrial agriculture has a significant impact on animal welfare, as it prioritizes efficiency and profit over animal welfare. Animals are often kept in cramped and unsanitary conditions, deprived of natural behaviors, and subjected to stressful and painful practices, such as debeaking, tail docking, and castration, without anesthesia. Additionally, animals are often fed diets that are not natural to them, which can lead to health problems.
To address ethical concerns in farming practices, farmers can adopt practices that prioritize animal welfare. This includes providing animals with adequate space, access to natural behaviors, and a balanced diet. Additionally, farmers can reduce stress and pain in animals by avoiding painful practices, using anesthesia when necessary, and minimizing transportation and handling stress. Other practices that can improve animal welfare include providing animals with access to clean water and air, proper veterinary care, and protection from extreme weather conditions.
Consumers can also play a role in promoting ethical farming practices by choosing to buy products from farms that prioritize animal welfare. Certification programs, such as Animal Welfare Approved and Certified Humane, can help consumers identify products from farms that meet certain animal welfare standards. Additionally, consumers can advocate for animal welfare legislation and support organizations that work to improve animal welfare in agriculture.

What is the impact of Biden decisions today for contributing in New research for welfare and strong economy for US?
He decided more research budget and investment in Renewable Energy Technologies by manufacturing everything for it in USA rather than depending on China
Relevant answer
Answer
Revered Osman Ali Sadek Ibrahim,
Assalamualaikum.
I am supporting that President Joe Biden's decision and took the measures to safe their citizens in USA.
I am sure that the research budget will help to invent more production strategies and techniques to improve the US goods and services by their citizens to promote the GDP of US.
Dependency of any countries that means you are going to lose something your income and saving.
This policy could enhance the economy of US very strong level.
These policy decisions could improve not only macro economic investment aspects but also there could be in micro economics of the each individual households in US.
What Joe Biden had taken that this is the right steps to promote US and citizens as well.
Dependency syndrome will make you make lazy everyone rather than alert in any activities.
He has taken this policy decisions because there is serious world economic crisis ahead of the year 2023. This could bring good opportunity to earn income and saving at macro and micro level of the country.
Of course, the renewable energy sources like Biodiesel, solar energy, gases production etc have to be tapped up by the research innovations accordingly.
US economy could be promoted through Small and Micro Enterprises (SMEs) at the ground level.
I am confidently supporting the President Joe Biden broad Vision and Mission of the US future welfare strategies.
Who else will take this welfare decision except President? He is thinking about US economy and citizens welfares. None has the right to take decision to save their citizens.
Apart from, mega industries that US had to concentrate more on the Small and Medium Enterprises that will bring tremendous impact in the US economy.
While the genuine income will come through their economic productive labour power that the citizens will not think of the negative sources of earnings. US has given many golden opportunities to have promoted China on second half of the 20th century and the first quarter of the 21st century.
US citizens are equally capable of producing all kinds of manufacturing goods like other countries
There is gap in income generating opportunities in US over the years but the time has come to invite to their own citizens have to work in all categories of the jobs to save by themselves and their nation as well.
The Business and Development ventures have been completely blocked due to Corona pandemic situations on last 3 years.
Even Americans in all sectors in the economy have to wake up to involve all type of jobs. It could become worth while to save all.
Truly speaking that US is donating many third world countries for vulnerable activities to save the poor people, support the countries under war and natural catastrophe situation in some countries.
This is the right time that President Joe Biden's has taken right decision to save US and his citizens.

The "smart agriculture" approach in the innovation framework will benefit both farmers and the environment. For example, there is sensors technology around agricultural land to ensure the availability of crop data in real-time. Crop monitoring is not only carried out on earth but also from space. Thanks to the space program's advanced satellite technology, earth station data can be cross-compared with satellite imagery, helping to get a complete picture of soil and crop health. In addition, this technology allows farmers to save in terms of field trips and resources. This technology is a turning point for farmers' welfare globally.

The link above takes you to my report summarizing the initial key findings of my research project investigating how licensed community radio stations in the UK responded to the changing circumstances caused by the UK-wide lockdown in Spring 2020.
I would be interested to learn if anyone elsewhere has done a similar survey?
My project was entitled “Digital Technologies in Community Radio Production Practices: responding to COVID-19 social distancing measures”, and was devised to ascertain how, and the extent to which, stations were able to successfully adapt and continue broadcasting as the crisis ensued.
The research has highlighted that this sector is perfectly placed to provide locally specific health and welfare updates and indeed has proved itself to be adept and efficient at responding to a crisis and incorporating new content alongside their usual entertainment and information outputs.

In this post-millennial world of cosmopolitanism, globalisation, and world literature, one wonders if the present moment isn't the perfect opportunity to take stock of where our interests and priorities lie, what kind of life lessons does a global pandemic have for all of us as a collective entity, and above all how do we respond to something that simply exceeds the limits of any one particular area, region or nation-state? It is also a timely reminder of how we take certain things for granted and in the punishing rush of events, forget to spend quality time with those who matter to us the most, be it family, friends or acquaintances.
Through social distancing, we are paradoxically coming together in an attempt to contain the damage. This is far removed from the world of digital technology and social networking sites where the idea of togetherness also simultaneously exists with a profound sense of boredom, isolation and estrangement. The global economy has come to a veritable standstill and yet for the first time in so many years people are actually realising the merits of altruism and putting the interests of the 'other' before the 'self'. Instant gratification, limited attention span and 'the devil may care' attitude is being decisively supplanted by an increasing concern for the environment, the underprivileged and the future generations.
But above all this crisis is about the dissolution of human pride and an equally important focus on learning humility. It is a reality check to prevent us from taking ourselves too seriously for far too long. The profit-maximising impulse and the fiercely competitive spirit that is now being instilled right from the increasingly commercialised spaces of classrooms to the demanding environs of corporate offices has been rendered frozen by something which is much more pressing, immediate and therefore worthy of attention.
In such a scenario, a moment of pause and reflection never hurts. It gives us a breathing space from the target-oriented lives that we find ourselves in, especially in a country like India where population significantly alters the stakes of job prospects and economic opportunities. And while it is true that the destitute and the daily wage labourers, the rickshaw walas and the domestic helpers bear the worst brunt of this protracted lockdown, it also opens up a rare window of opportunity for those who are in a position of power and privilege to contribute in their own ways toward combating the spectre of hunger and starvation.
Life, as we know it, will never be the same. The haunting memories of these difficult times will always endure while the notion of normalcy and restitution will probably be the most challenging proposition for policy makers. The spirit of resilience and ingenuity that human beings have repeatedly shown right throughout history is for the first time proving to be inadequate. And there lies the rub. An overriding emphasis on empathy which is formed in the crucible of a global crisis could quite easily become a distant memory the moment that threat is successfully diffused.
Self-aggrandisement would once again be at an all-time high. But do we want to spin around in circles and just wait for the next major calamity to once again teach us about wisdom and virtue? Or haven’t we had enough of an eye-opener to realise that it is only by locating oneself in the larger scheme of things and network of relationships that a more desirable and progressive future is possible. To understand this in its proper context, one only needs to imagine a hypothetical situation in which if any pharmaceutical company would have been successful in finding a cure for COVID-19, it would have again been driven by the predictable considerations of personal profit masking itself as public welfare.
So where do we go from here? And how do we reconcile our punishing schedules [an ostensibly stultifying one for many in times of a lockdown] with a profound appreciation for everything precious, beautiful and worthwhile in our lives? What are the bitter truths that we could take in our strides without caring too much about a loss of pride or self-respect? Because after all it is about recognising the priceless merit of the here and now as opposed to the idealistic and the utopian. It is about taking cognisance of both the kids as well as the elderly, the indigent neighbour as well as tenacious doctors and their committed support staff. And last but not the least, it is about practising kindness, compassion, and humility with others that could help us confront our personal demons and eventually exorcise them.

Hi,
Obtaining fetal calf serum is also not a very ethical procedure, I completely agree with you, but there is the possibility of using culture systems that minimize the use of fetal serum (for example with the cell lines CL350 or CL1000), there is also the possibility of using synthetic culture media, without fetal serum, and also the possibility of recombinantly producing the antibodies. My comment was in line that to produce only 1 milligram of antibody (a very small amount of antibody) there are viable alternative methods, which do not require the generation of ascites.
On the use of ascites I transcribe you two sections of document Barroso J., Halder M., Whelan M. EURL ECVAM Recommendation on Non-Animal-Derived Antibodies. EUR 30185 EN, Publications Office of the European Union, Luxembourg, 2020, ISBN 978-92-76-18346-4, doi:10.2760/80554, JRC120199. https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/bitstream/JRC120199/jrc120199pdf.pdf , which may be of interest to you:
..." The EU Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal testing (EURL ECVAM) avails of the scientific opinion of the EURL ECVAM Scientific Advisory Committee (ESAC) about specific issues related to alternative methods. In 1998, based on the available evidence, ESAC concluded that for all levels of monoclonal antibody production, scientifically acceptable in vitro methods (i.e. use of hybridomas) were practicably available and that these methods were either better than, or equal to, the in vivo (ascites) production method in terms of antibody quality. Thus, the ESAC stated in 1998 that in vivo production of monoclonal antibodies by the ascites method was no longer scientifically necessary, except in rare cases1 . Nevertheless, the recent statistical information published by the European Commission on the use of animals for scientific purposes in the EU show an increase by 65% in the use of animals for monoclonal antibody production by the mouse ascites method between 2015 (27333 animals used) and 2017 (45024 animals used). It is unclear from the non-technical project summaries how the ascites method could be justified and as a consequence, why such projects could still be authorised in EU countries"...
..." Authorisation of projects in the light of 2010/63/EU: Antibody production using the ascites method should no longer be acceptable under any circumstances"....

Relevant answer
Answer
Ashwani Roy Olexandr Chernenko Thank your respected mentors for your valuable comment on this aspect. As you have rightly said that there is a trade off between the welfare and productivity of the livestock. Therefore, our aim should be to provide the desired/appropriate welfare to the livestock (at point C in the graph). The parameters of the production and reproduction can be benchmarked after the consensus of the experts, farmers, veterinarians etc.. Thus, after taking the opinions of all the stakeholders we can include these in welfare assessment. But the weightage to these parameters (productive and reproductive performance) should be less when compared to feeding, environment/housing, health and behaviour, while performing welfare assessment.

Some welfare assessment protocols have kept BCS in both good feeding principle and good health, while some protocols have put this indicator only in good feeding
Relevant answer
Answer
BCS makes it possible to estimate the level of body reserves (classically from 1 "very lean" to 5 "very fat"). Body reserves, especially in female herbivores, are mobilized in case of insufficient nutrient intake from the diet. This may be due to a shortage of fodder resources (dry season, cold season), or an increase in requirements that exceeds the ingestion capacity (end of gestation, lactation). If the reserves (BCS) are insufficient (typically 1 or 2) at the beginning of the critical period, the animal will not be able to correctly ensure the essential functions that condition its survival and reproduction, and will be more susceptible to parasitism. Its survival may be compromised, as may its chances of reproduction. If BCS is too high (5), it is most often a sign of a lack of reproduction, which may be linked to pathologies.
This is why it is generally recommended to aim for a BCS of 3 ("good condition") at the end of gestation or at the beginning of the dry (cold) season, which can be achieved through adapted grazing management and, if necessary, supplementation.

In many countries, a ‘welfare chauvinism’ is emerging as a configuration of welfare that restricts access to benefits or lowers the level of benefits for immigrants, ethnic minorities (Andersen and Bjørklund 1990; Schumacher and Van Kersbergen 2016). This configuration of welfare tries to reinforce the social protection of ‘native globalisation losers’ increasing benefits placing less emphasis on individual responsibility, and reducing competition with ethnic minorities on access to health and housing programmes, social assistance.
Relevant answer
Answer
The welfare state has played an important role in promoting social integration without discrimination and distinctions. In the last years, welfare has become an area of intervention which is less and less inclusive: "conditional welfare" and "welfare chauvinism" are the two main configurations of this emerging system of social interventions. Welfare is increasingly selective and systematically reduces access to benefits for immigrants, ethnic minorities and traditionally 'undeserving' groups, the homeless and other people whose values and behaviour are considered the primary cause of their condition.

Relevant answer
Answer
Thank you Maurice for your generous words.
At the risk of being vilified and submerged by criticism I would say that "animal welfare", as it is interpreted by the modern husbandry production systems of developed countries, cannot be adopted in a pastoral nomadic set up. In such environment "animal welfare" is secondary to human survival and all husbandry practices are focused to achieve this.
In a pastoral nomadic set up there are many commonly used husbandry methods in weaning, milking management, restraint, marking, veterinary treatments, that can be classified as animal cruelty using our "western" style "animal welfare" definition. However such "cruelty" is not gratuitous but dictated by the need to survive an uncompromising and harsh environment.

Here we want to know which system you prefer and, possibly, why.
Relevant answer
Answer
Lucio, I live in Italy but I am a Czech citizen. In Czech Republic exists the insurance system. These insurances are paid in part by the employee (4.5 percent) and partly by the employer (9 percent). For those who do not work (children, students, unemployed, retired), the state is responsible for payment. Therefore, every citizen has an insurance. This system is governed by the laws of the state and each insured person is entitled to the provision of the necessary care as required by law. Every citizen can choose to access additional care by paying them. But as a rule, citizens have access to standard care (without having to pay anything further). As regards experimental therapies or special treatments, the request is made to the insurance company for the payment of these therapies. If I have to tell the truth, I prefer the Czech system to the Italian system (of which I am not a great user) for some reasons: little expectation for the performance of the national health system, many preventive visits (gynecological, dental, ophthalmological, etc.), greater assistance given above all by the presence of the family nurse at the medical clinics, little bureaucracy. That's my experience. Have a nice day, Svetlana

The current immigration system actually goes a long way to addressing both liberal and conservative concerns.
For the liberal, thousands of people cross the southern border and gain access to decent jobs, schooling, and an economy that provides endless goods more cheaply than anywhere else in the world. They improve their lives by coming here
For the conservatives, keeping the "guise" of "illegality" in place while not really doing a lot to keep immigrants out allows for armies of hard workers to enter the country, contribute to society, pay taxes, while being reluctant to sign up for too many welfare programs. Thus, they improve America by being here.
Any solution that goes much further in letting in more migrants "legally" will upset the conservatives, and any action that is really effective at "keeping them out" will anger the liberals.

Libertarianism pursues the goal of individual freedom limited only by the immediate harm done to other individuals. But it does not consider the ultimate harm that may be done to others. In biology, to study a phenomenon, one considers not only the proximate causes, but (as a requirement for complete understanding) also the ultimate causes. The same should apply to a rigorous analysis of political-economic philosophies. Friedrich Hayek and Ayn Rand (among others?) seem to serve as the intellectual underpinnings for Libertarianism and other similar rightwing leaders, such as Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and Charles Koch). But when it comes to questions of the general welfare it seems ta have a gaping hole. If this is so, this hole should be exposed.

Look at Sandel, Michael J. 2012. What Money Can’t Buy:
The Moral Limits of Markets. New York: Farrar, Straus
and Giroux. (or Sandel, M.J. (2013) in Journal of Economic Perspective.
He provides good arguments for where the market thinking goes awry.

  • Traditionally we use resource based criteria (Housing facilities, feeding facilites) for evaluating the welfare of animals in smallholder production system.
  • How can we use behaviour for assessing the animal welfare in small holder production system?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi Ankaj. First I'd like to highlight the fact that physiology is not behavior. When you assess animal based indicators, you can watch health, phisiological or behavioral aspects.
You can find valuable information about behavioral criteria in WQ and AWIN for production animals. I think first of all you should have a behavioral theory to be able to identificate the indicators that you want to measure. As examples of behavioral criteria I could name agonistic interactions, vocalizations, resting behavior, stereotypes (this will depend on the species that you will assess), response of the animals to human interactions or approach, defecation, etc.
I hope this helps you.
Regards.

The government of every country and state bring policies and schemes for the welfare of society and the nation. These governments implement policies and schemes through their departments and sometimes they assess them with either own departments OR external agencies.  This assessment process has nothing to do with:
What new theories are evolving while implementing the scheme or policy?
Why the existing theories or not working while implementation or in it’s impact?
Why global findings are not matching?
What are the initial flaw in terms of conceptualization of the policy or scheme? ‘ etc…
In the entire process from policy or scheme conceptualization to implementation, the concerned government department or agency does not see a possibility of theorizing a phenomenon or identifying a theoretical relationship with field-level data. And they assume, ‘it is not their job’.
So whose job is this? Is this a researcher’s job who is either in a doctoral course or post-doctoral assignment, a faculty who is studying public policies/schemes or a consultancy firm who reads/analyzes the data and based on the analysis floats some project?
As a teacher, I see students struggling while exploring their research areas – either for their doctoral dissertation, post-doctoral research or a research paper. They explore with zeal and confidence by reviewing the existing literature – mostly referring research articles published in top-tier journals, but these researchers have no interest in studying the Public Policies or schemes with a view to understanding theoretical grounding of policy or schemes.
Why they do not see this as an opportunity for research? I think these researchers assume that ‘understanding a policy or schemes in not academic job’.  If this is that assumption, I do not agree with that.
In fact, data on these policies and schemes are available to any researcher who wants to study. Most importantly – concerned government department or agency will be happy in supporting them since these arms of government would learn significant findings of the policy they implemented and would know what kinds of policies and schemes be required in the country.
In a true sense, this kind of attempt by a researcher would help the government and country in a bigger way.

Dear Gebregziabhar, Industry-Academia-Government collaborative research is the need of the hour, but how many campuses use this mechanism and involve their students in order to study government led policies/schemes or projects? I agree with the point raised regarding Government's own agenda about policies and schemes, but is this not a job for researchers to study and suggest the theoretical flaws in policies or schemes which are initiated by Governments.

Clinicians often have to miss meals, are under hydrated and have inadequate sleep. Shifts, long hours, poor culture towards staff welfare and human Factors and unsatisfactory on site amenities may place clinicians in vulnerable and less than ideal circumstances for providing the best patient care and ensuring personal health. Decreased cognitive function and mental health are associated with a failure to account for Human Factors for clinicians.
