The quality and technological parameters of milk obtained from dairy cows with subclinical mastitis by Magdalena Zalewska, Paulina Brzozowska, Magdalena Rzewuska, Ewelina Kawecka-Grochocka, Daria M. Urbańska, Tomasz Sakowski, Emilia Bagnicka

“…Bacterial contamination did not appear to significantly affect the yield of milk or its main components, namely protein, casein, lactose, fat, TS, solid nonfat, free fatty acid, or citric acid. Although pH, freezing point depression (FPD), and acidity also remained unaffected by bacterial contamination, they were significantly influenced by herd-year-season of calving and herd-year-time of sampling interaction effects. …”

The financial character of policing in Tunisia: collusions, extraversion and the criminalization of informality by Daniela Musina

“…The article then attempts to give empirical salience to the theoretical argument by tracing the processual developments of financial and pre-emptive intelligence from transnational forms of blacklisting (which affected Tunisia in 2018) to profiling, tracking, fund freezing practices that unfold contextually. This process generates three visible effects in the Tunisian context. …”

Divergent thinking in groups during cold-water immersion is impaired by cold stress not the cold shock response by Max Kailler Smith, Max Kailler Smith, Rebecca Weller, Rebecca Weller, Tony Duong, Tony Duong, Rebecca McClintock, Rebecca McClintock, Matthew Peterson, Nathaniel Barr, Douglas M. Jones, Timothy L. Dunn

“…IntroductionA primary hazard of working in cold maritime environments is the potential for a substantial man overboard situation in freezing waters. Sudden cold-water immersion (CWI) triggers the cold shock response (CSR), which consists of cardiorespiratory responses that increase the chance of drowning. …”
