The poultry industry faces new challenges every day in production and productivity, with demands for a safer product free of residues of antibiotic growth promoters (APC), which leads to the search for other alternatives to the use of these compounds. One of the alternatives is the addition of garlic (Allium sativum) and onion (Allium cepa) extracts in broiler chickens. The allicin in garlic acts as a powerful antimicrobial, helping to control intestinal pathogens and reducing diseases. Quercetin from onions and other flavonoids also offer similar antimicrobial and antioxidant effects. Their inclusion in the diet of chickens improves the digestibility of nutrients, increases weight gains and reduces mortality. This article reviews theoretical assessments regarding the addition of garlic and onion extracts in the diet of broiler chickens. A systematic review was carried out and methods such as analytical - synthetic were required to find the main theoretical conceptions about the state of the art on the subject. In the different literatures cited, it is proven that the use of garlic and onion extracts has an influence on the improvement of productive and health parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The tourist experience is not just about visiting a new place; it involves encountering different cultures, meeting new people, and interacting with natural environments, which can profoundly impact travellers and the tourist destinations they visit. In this study, we aimed to determine how the tourist experience can promote sustainable tourism in the Lachay National Reserve (LNR). Using a qualitative, phenomenological approach, we identified five professionals with expertise in developing tourist experiences through snowball sampling. We then conducted semi-structured interviews using an interview guide. Our findings indicate that the LNR is a natural tourist space that allows visitors to experience pleasant sensations through their senses, primarily the auditory and visual senses. Moreover, visiting the reserve will enable visitors to recognise and internalise the importance of the Lomas ecosystem, which helps them understand the need for its conservation to benefit future generations. It is worth noting that generating tourist experiences requires the convergence of various natural, material, and human elements that have economic, social, and environmental benefits for tourists and the host community.

In order to evaluate the fit of a theoretical model to explain Mental Well-being from Positive and Negative Affect, Somatic Symptoms and Psychological Pain, 260 university students from Chile participated voluntarily, who answered the EBMWE, PANAS, SSS-8 and MBPPAS scales. The multivariate statistical technique of Path Analysis was used and the results indicated that Mental Well-Being is explained by direct relationships with Positive Affect, Negative Affect and Psychological Pain. Somatic Symptoms would have an indirect effect through Negative Affect and Psychological Pain. It is concluded that the variables of the model explain 72% of the variance of Mental Well-being.

The primary objective of this study was to implement a computational prototype generator for urban transport routes, inspired by the theory of evolution, to solve the problem of complex combinatorial search in a public transport network. The prototype employed the Python programming language for coding and the metaheuristics known as genetic algorithm (GA). The results showed that the computational prototype was accurate and fast, providing highly efficient solutions for each execution in the urban transport network. The prototype was validated against Mandl's Swiss Road network and achieved better solutions than those presented by previous studies. In conclusion, the evolutionary process of the computational prototype developed here converges to highly satisfactory results due to the innovative mechanisms of genetic crossover, mutation, and quality function operators that equally weight the parameters that comprise it.

Objective: To describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients diagnosed with neurocysticercosis at two hospitals in Chiclayo, Peru. Materials and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study was performed at the Almanzor Aguinaga Asenjo Hospital and Lambayeque Regional Hospital. Ninety-six (96) medical records of patients attended in 2014 with a diagnosis of neurocysticercosis were reviewed. Results: The mean age of the patients was 42.8 ± 18.8 years old, 52.1% were female, 26% came from Chiclayo and 54.2% received care for the first time. The most common symptom leading to medical consultation was headache. All patients underwent a diagnostic imaging method. The location of the parasite was mostly in the brain and the calcified stage was the most common one. The most widely used treatments were anticonvulsants and pain relievers. Conclusions: Neurocysticercosis mainly affects the economically active population, is more common in women and the most common clinical manifestation is headache. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an integral study on the quality of the superficial waters in ponds and streams of the watershed of Amajac river. The problems associated to specific pollutants are identified and alternative solutions are detailed to be used in public policies of water resources. Four ponds, one lake and five streams were considered in the study and runoff volume, water speed, and maximum depth were measured. Also, the main physical, chemical and biological parameters were determined: dissolved oxygen, fecal coli forms, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphate, carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, and manganese. According to the results, it is concluded that water of the river in Tulancingo city is strongly contaminated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
