A late Pleistocene predator-accumulated avifauna from Kids Cave, West Coast, South Island, New Zealand

A fossil deposit excavated from the floor of Kids Cave, West Coast, South Island, New Zealand, is interpreted as having been primarily accumulated by New Zealand falcon Falco novaeseelandiae, with some contribution by Haast's eagle Harpagornis moorei. The fauna is rich: 3699 bones represented 41 bird species, two frog species, unspecified geckoes and skinks, and one bat species. Fossil deposition was mainly within the Last Glacial Maximum from about 22,000 cal yr bp to about 15,000 cal yr bp, with a marked change in sediment characteristics at the onset of the LGM's coldest period. Chronological control is given by three Uranium-series dates for a speleothem and radiocarbon AMS dating of four avian eggshell samples and one bone. The fauna is the first extensive predator accumulation of LGM age described from the West Coast of the South Island, and it indicates a palaeoenvironment of a mosaic of shrublands with forest patches. The onset of the coldest part of the LGM (Aurora 3 glacial advance, 19,500 - 19,000 cal yrs bp) saw marked climate cooling/drying affecting the site, but the avifauna indicates that although open-country taxa became more common in this period, some forest persisted nearby throughout the remainder of the LGM.

The effect of garlic extract on growth, haematology and cell-mediated immune response of newborn goat kids

The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of different levels of garlic extract supplemented in milk on growth rate, haematology and cell–mediated immune response of Markhoz newborn goat kids. Twenty four newborn goat kids (aged 7+/-3days) were randomly assigned to four groups. The groups consisted of control (received milk without garlic extract), T1, T2 and T3 which received milk supplemented with 62.5, 125 and 250 mg aqueous garlic extract per kg live weight per day for 42 days, respectively. Body weights were measured weekly throughout the experimental period. At day 42, about 10 ml blood samples were collected from each kid via the jugular vein for haematological study. Cell–mediated immune response was evaluated through double skin thickness after intradermal injection of phyto-hematogglutinin (PHA) at day 21 and 42. Total gain was significantly higher for kids in T3 (P<0.05) compared with the control group. Average daily gain (ADG) in T3 group in week 4–5 was higher (P<0.05). Significant differences in globulin (P<0.01), hemoglobin (Hb; P<0.001), hematocrit (PCV; P<0.001), erythrocyte (RBC; P<0.001), neutrophil (P<0.001), lymphocyte (P<0.001) and leukocyte (WBC; P<0.001) were observed among groups. Hb, PCV, RBC, lymphocytes and WBC were higher in kids given garlic extract supplementation. There was a significant difference of double skin thickness among the groups at day 42 (P<0.01). In conclusion, this study indicated that milk supplemented with aqueous garlic extract improved growth rate and immunity of newborn goat kids.

Diseño y estructuración de la estrategia de ventas de la empresa “Eureka Kids”

La estrategia de ventas es un pilar fundamental de la estrategia integral de una empresa, ya que en ella se definen las acciones que contribuirán a su crecimiento, a su posicionamiento en cada uno de los segmentos de mercado y a alcanzar la rentabilidad esperada. La compañía EUREKA KIDS era consciente que su departamento de ventas no estaba debidamente formado, direccionado y preparado para afrontar los retos que presenta el mercado de la puericultura en lo referente a los artículos de aseo y cosméticos, por tal motivo fue imperativo diseñar y estructurar una estrategia de ventas gerenciable, coherente y sostenible en el tiempo, que le permitiera a la empresa tener desde la selección de sus vendedores, un personal comprometido y competitivo a nivel profesional que le ayude a aumentar los niveles de ventas actuales y futuros. A través del método empírico – analítico, se pudo concluir que si la empresa agranda y profesionaliza su estructura comercial podrá lograr una mayor y mejor penetración del mercado actual, bajo los métodos y procesos de efectividad comercial propuestos a lo largo de la investigación, los cuales están fundamentados en las más recientes investigaciones realizadas a nivel mundial en estrategias de ventas.
