Chemical immobilization of free-living capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) using ketamine-dexmedetomidine combination and a remote drug delivery system

Capturing wild capybaras for scientific projects, population control or medical interventions is a growing necessity. With this study, we intended to evaluate a Ketamine/Dexmedetomidine as a reversible chemical restraint in free-ranging synanthropic capybaras, seeking enhanced anesthetic and recovery characteristics while testing a specialized remote drug delivery system (RDDS). For this purpose, 18 adult capybaras (male n = 8; females n = 10) (67.3 ± 9.45 kg), prior to chemical restraint, were physically confined, subsequently darted intramuscularly with 9 mg kg-1 ketamine and 0,005 mg kg-1 dexmedetomidine. Post-intervention, 0,005 mg kg-1 atipamezole, administered IM, was used as a reversal agent (RA), (n = 5). Anesthetic effects were recorded as latency period (LP I/first observed effects) (LP II /lateral recumbency plus time to handle the animal). Recovery time was divided into (R1/no RA, fully recovered/ready for release), (R2a/R2b, with RA, time to ambulant position plus time to full recovery/release, respectively). Vital signs were recorded at a 15-minute interval. GraphPad Prism 8.1. 1 was used to perform unpaired t-test, with a p-value ˂ 0,05 considered significant. Results: Mean LP I: 3 ± 1 min.; LP II: 10 ± 2 min. Procedure duration: 49 ± 5 min. Recovery time without RA, (R1): 55 ± 15 min., compared to 18 min., with RA (R2a) to ambulant position (with severe discoordination), requiring additional time until full recovery (ready for release): ± 45 min (R2b). Total time, to release (R2a/b): mean ± SD = 67 ± 13.85 min. Concluding for clinical relevance that the association of Ketamine and Dexmedetomidine performed satisfactorily, providing effective sedation and analgesia, and relative short latency periods. Used RA did not shorten total recovery time significantly (P-value = 0,7328). Adverse effects such as the risk of acute cecal tympany, due to the lack of pre-anesthetic fasting, concurrent to collateral effects of injectable and volatile anesthetics on the motility of the digestive tract, and induced bradycardia/hyperthermia warrant extra caution. The employed RDDS provided reliable drug delivery under field conditions.
Importance of Emotion Regulation and Coping in Adolescents with Suicidal Ideation

Adolescence is a period of transition from childhood that implies many developmental changes and associated problems. The statistics show that adolescents aged between 16 and 19 years old are at high risk of committing suicide. There is insignificant available research scrutinizing the relationship of proactive coping and emotion regulation in adolescents with suicidal ideation. Aims: (1) to screen out adolescents with suicidal ideation, (2) to compare proactive coping in terms of proactive and avoidance coping between suicidal ideation and control group of adolescents and (3) to examine the level of emotion regulation among adolescents with suicidal ideation and control group. Setting and Design: The sample of the study is comprised of 150 students between the age group of 17-19 years from Varanasi city, India. method of purposive sampling was used. Method and Material: Three scales viz. Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire – Revised (SBQ), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) and Proactive Coping Inventory (PCI) were administered. The cut off scores were decided statistically i.e. M+1SD for screening the adolescents with suicidal ideation. Likewise subjects who scored between M-1SD to M+1SD were designated as controls. Final screening stands with 12 subjects each in both the groups. Statistical analysis: Mean, standard deviation, and t-tests were applied to analyze the data. Result and conclusion: The results obtained revealed significant difference between the two groups in the level of cognitive reappraisal and proactive coping, thus signifying the necessity of intervention for adolescents having suicidal ideation.
Cardiac Changes in Cirrhotic Patients

Cirrhosis is characterized by fibrosis and nodule formation of the liver, secondary to a chronic injury, which leads to alteration of the normal lobular organization of the liver. Various insults can injure the liver, including viral infections, toxins, hereditary conditions, or autoimmune processes. With each injury, the liver forms scar tissue (fibrosis), initially without losing its function. After a longstanding injury, most of the liver tissue gets fibrosed, leading to loss of function and the development of cirrhosis [1].
Entomofauna of cucumber Cucumis sativus (L.), damage assessment caused by insect pests in Dabou in south of Côte d’Ivoire

One of the constraints of cucumber production is the pressure of insect pests. The need to effectively control these pests while maintaining entomological diversity has led to an inventory of the insects associated with the crop and to the damage caused by insect pests. This study was conducted from April to July 2014, in Dabou, in the Guinean zone of Côte d'Ivoire. Catches were made twice per a week, manually with pliers applying technique of mowing with sweep net and the plants have been inspected to identify damage caused by pests. 46 species grouped into 29 families and 11 orders were listed. The latter consisted of insect pests, predators and pollinators. The highest number of insects (1682 individuals) was registered to fruiting. The species of Tephritidae B. cucurbitae (237 individuals) and B. dorsalis (98 individuals) were the most harmful. At the before flowering stage, the attack rates of defoliating and sucking insects were 29.79 ± 4.79% and 13.12 ± 3.30%, respectively. At flowering stage, the attack rates of defoliating and sucking insects were 48.75 ± 6.58 and 29.16 ± 2.52, respectively. At fruiting stage, defoliating insects, sucking insects and the borer have induced attack rates respective of 72.08 ± 6.91%, 60.83 ± 2.30% and 63.65 ± 11.81%, respectively.
Integration of a PV energy balancing and trading mechanism in a microgrid

In this work we address the distribution of PV power generated in a microgrid connected to the main grid. Following the idea of a local energy community, the new goal instead of self-consumption maximization is to enable the local trade between PV producers and neighbored consumers in the microgrid. By using a simple ”many-to-many” lexicographic allocation and balancing algorithm between producers and consumers, we analyze the resulting price at the consumer. To control flexible loads in a high PV penetration scenario, we propose instead of price information, the use of PV energy surplus. Numerical results are given for an EV charging scenario.
Consumers Mobile Phone Brand Preferences of Local Made Brands to Global: Evidences from West Shoa Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ambo Town, Ethiopia

The study was conducted in Oromia regional state West Shoa Zone in Ambo Town in case of “Consumer The mobile phone Brand Preferences of Local Made Brands to Global”. Mobile phones are today can be considered as one of ingredient in the life of human beings. But due to rapid developments in technology, modernization and new innovations, there is a short lifecycle of mobile phone, which has a great impact on the manufacturers and retailers of such products. Then this study aimed to investigate the factors effecting consumers Mobile brand preferences local to global. The study employed both descriptive and explanatory research design. The target populations of the study were the mobile phone users in Ambo town of West Shoa Zone Oromia regional state, Ethiopia. The data was collected from 385 respondents by using convenience sampling technique. For data analysis descriptive (mean & standard deviation) and inferential (t-test, correlation analysis, and multiple regressions) were employed. Based on analysis the result shows the significance difference of local brand & global. In addition the result of regression shows all variables statistically significant except innovation, social status, and price. This was because consumers were not affording imported brands. Then, it can be concluded that there was a significant relationship between consumers local brand preference and global. Therefore, it can be recommended that marketers should sell innovative brands to satisfy the desire of consumers.
Zuratih et al. Condition of rumen fermentation as ımpacted by supplementation of fermented rice brand using ın vitro gas

Zuratih, Budhi SPS, Bachruddin Z. 2020. Condition of rumen fermentation as ımpacted by supplementation of fermented rice brand using ın vitro gas production technique. JITV 25(2):74-80. DOI: http://dx.doi. org/10.14334/jitv.v25i2. 2066 Methane is one of the gases produced by ruminants during feed fermentation in the rumen. This experiment was aimed to investigate the production of monacolin K in rice bran fermented by Monascus purpureus mold and the influence of the supplementation of fermented rice bran using Monascus purpureus mold on elephant grass basal diet on fermentation products and methane production in an in vitro gas production method. The study consisted of two experiments. The first experiment analysis of monacolin K production in fermented rice bran using Monascus purpureus. Fermentation is done by the addition of Monascus purpureus at levels 0, 4, 8, and 12% (v/w) of substrate (rice bran) with 3 replications. Monacolin K in the substrate was analyzed using HPLC. The second experiment was the evaluation of supplementation of fermented rice bran to elephant grass basal diet using in vitro gas production. The treatment diet evaluated were Pennisetum purpureum (control), Pennisetum purpureum:rice bran (1:1 ratio), and Pennisetum purpureum:rice bran fermented. Each treatment was replicated 3 times. Results from the first experiment shows that rice bran with the highest monacolin K content was in rice bran fermented at 12% by Monascus purpureus. Result from the second experiment showed that supplementation of fermented rice bran to Pennisetum purpureum basal diet did not affect rumen ammonia concentration, VFA, protein microbial production, and dry matter and organic matter digestibility. However, methane production (CH4) was reduced (P<0.05) by 50%, and the protozoal population was decreased (P<0.05) by 80%. It is concluded that supplementation of fermented rice brands containing monacolin K was able to reduce methane production and the protozoa population without affecting feed fermentation.
A 5-year analysis of endothelial vs penetrating keratoplasty graft survival in Chinese patients.

AIM To determine if there is any difference in long term graft survival between Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) and penetrating keratoplasty (PK). METHODS A retrospective 5-year cases analysis of bullous keratopathy secondary to Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy or pseudophakic bullous keratopathy, receiving either DSEK or PK. A total of 42 DSEK cases and 25 PK cases were included in the analysis. RESULTS In the 5-year analysis, graft survival rates were very similar in the two groups (DSEK 77.1% vs PK 76.0%, P=0.918, 95%CI: -6.3 to 33.4). Sub-analyses at 1y (DSEK 81% vs PK 95%, P=0.085, 95%CI: -29 to 3.6) and 2y (DSEK 81% vs PK 88%, P=0.381, 95%CI: -25.9 to 11.8) show a trend towards lower survival rates of DSEK vs PK, but the results were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION Long term 5-year graft survival is similar between the DSEK and PK methods of corneal transplant in Chinese patients with bullous keratopathy.
How congruent is person-centred practice with labour activation policy? Person-centred approach to vocational interventions on immigrant jobseekers in Norway

ABSTRACT Increased migration to OECD countries has made unemployed foreign-born immigrants a new target population for ‘activation’ policies to reintroduce people into the labour market. As populations receiving employment activation interventions became more diverse, individualisation of activation measures was introduced into guidelines for welfare and employment agencies. While a person-centred approach in employment-oriented social work is gaining popularity, there is little research relating to how such approaches fit the frameworks of relatively aggressive activation. This study presents a qualitative instrumental case study exploring interactions between activation policy and person-centred employment interventions with immigrant jobseekers in Norway. Data analysis applied critical orientation towards data and employed directed content analysis. Research questions include: (1) How well do person-centred principles fit with the policy of activation? (2) How do person-centred practice and activation measures interact, and what are the congruencies and tensions? (3) What are the effects and practical implications of these congruencies and tensions? Findings from the present case study indicate the policy of activation strongly affects opportunities to implement person-centred practice in vocational counselling. Further, the political agenda of activation is inconsistent with the intentions of supported employment implementation to make vocational services jobseeker-centred or jobseeker-driven.
History and Historiography in Early Christian Ireland-Muirchú’s ‘Vita Patricii’ and Tírechán’s ‘Collectanea’

Despite modern writers noticing the importance of Premodern historiographical phenomena for a deeper comprehension of both Theory of History and History of Historiography, the Irish contribution to the subject is often left aside. Topics such as the Seanchas Tradition and Medieval Irish Classicism are not well integrated into such historiographical narrative. The Seanchaidh, the Irish Artifex of the Past, for example, is broadly mentioned as not a historian, but a chronicler, antiquary, genealogist, hagiographer or pedigree systematizer. This article addresses these issues and, more specifically, we focus on two Irish narratives produced in 7th century by Muirchú and Tírechán. Since they belong to the world of orality and bilingual literacy of Early Christian Ireland, perhaps their works could be understood as bounded by the Seanchas Tradition and Medieval Irish Classicism, hence, both could be considered as great examples of the producers of History and Historiography at the time. Apesar de alguns escritores modernos terem notado a importância dos fenômenos historiográficos prémodernos para uma maior compreensão tanto da Teoria da História quanto da História da Historiografia, a contribuição irlandesa para o tema nem sempre é apontada. Tópicos como a tradição Seanchas e o Classicismo Medieval irlandês não estão integrados a esse tipo de narrativa historiográfica. O Seanchaidh, o Artifex irlandês do passado, por exemplo, é frequentemente mencionado como não sendo um historiador, mas, ao invés disso, um cronista, antiquário, genealogista, hagiógrafo ou sistematizador de pedigrees. Neste artigo, tais questões são endereçadas e, de forma mais específica, nos focamos em duas narrativas irlandesas do século VII produzidas por Muirchú e Tírechán. Uma vez que os autores pertencem ao mundo da oralidade e do letramento bilíngue da Early Christian Ireland, talvez suas obras possam ser compreendidas como vinculadas à tradição Seanchas e ao Classicismo Medieval irlandês, podendo, então, serem consideradas como grandes exemplos das produções de História e Historiografia daquele tempo.
The Diet of Grey Seals Around Orkney and Other Island and Mainland Sites in North-Eastern Scotland

Almost 1000 faeces were collected in February, June, August and November 1985 in order to quantify the diet of grey seals around Orkney; 82% of these contained fish otoliths. Diet composition, by weight, was assessed by identifying and measuring otoliths from the faecal material and correcting for reduction in otolith size as a result of digestion using experimentally derived species-specific digestion coefficients. Sandeels accounted for almost half the fish consumed, by weight. The rest of the diet was composed mostly of gadids (particularly cod), flatfish (particularly plaice), and sculpins
Do Several Forms of Momentum Anomalies in the US Still Exist

Investigating monthly US data from January 1965 to March 2017 we find that the best possible asset pricing model consistsof the Fama and French three-factor model with the momentum factor, the short-term reversal factor and the long-term reversal factor. We draw this conclusion based on several tests of model performances. These tests also show that single-sorted portfolios performed betterthan double-sorted portfolios for the period investigated in the US. For the momentum and reversal factors we find that the factors areonlysignificant if they correspond with some single-sorted dependent variables. This means that the model only works for particular sorts of portfolios.
Restoration treatment effects on stand structure, tree growth, and fire hazard in a ponderosa pine/Douglas-fir forest in Montana.

Crown fires that burned thousands of ha of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) forests in recent years attest to the hazardous conditions extant on the western landscape. Managers have responded with broad-scale implementation of fuel reduction treatments; however. because threats to pine forests extend beyond fire, so too must the approaches to address them. This western Montana study evaluated four treatments in a randomized complete block experiment for their effects on stand structural characteristics, growth increment, and crown fire potential. Evaluation of control, burn-only, thin-only, and thin-burn treatments showed that the combined thin-burn treatment had the greatest number of desired effects, the burn-only had the fewest, and the thin-only was intermediate. The thin-burn significantly reduced stand density, canopy cover, torching hazard, and crowning hazard and increased average diameter, height-to live-crown, and basal area increment; the thin-only reduced stand density, canopy cover, and crowning hazard and increased average diameter and basal area increment; and the burn-only reduced torching hazard and increased height-to-live crown. These structural and growth effects are related to or influence numerous stand/ecosystem properties at our site, including diameter distributions, species composition, large-tree development potential, overall tree vigor, potential for shade-in- tolerant tree regeneration, and resiliency to fire. Results demonstrate that well-designed restoration treatments can promote key short-term stand and ecosystem responses while significantly reducing crown fire potential. FOR . S CI. 56(1):18-31.
Organizational empowerment among Nursing Faculty in the Northwestern Region of Saudi Arabia

Background: This study aimed to determine the differences in the workplace empowerment of nursing faculty as it relates to their demographic information. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among 65 nurse educators at the College of Nursing, University of Hail, Saudi Arabia. The data were collected through a survey questionnaire between January and March 2019. Results: Significant differences were found regarding gender and opportunity (p < 0.017), support (p < 0.020), resources (p < 0.022), job activities scale (JAS; p < 0.005), organizational relationship scale (ORS; p < 0.011), and marital status on resources (p < 0.031). In comparison, gender to information and all of the other demographic variables such as marital status (except resources), years of experience, age, nationality, educational qualifications, and specialization were found insignificant to opportunity, support, resources, information, JAS, and ORS, where all of their p-values were more than 0.05. Conclusion: Male nursing faculty were found to be more empowered in terms of opportunity, support, resources, JAS, and ORS but not to information. Married nursing faculty were found more empowered only to resources. This study supports that gender and information, marital status (except resources), years of experience, age, nationality, educational qualifications, and specialization are not determinants for job empowerment.

The development of palliative care for people with progressive neurological disease

The role of palliative care for people with neurological disease has been developing for over 50 years, and was described from the early days of the modern hospice movement. This thesis considers my papers and studies which have helped in establishing the need for palliative care, the involvement of specialist palliative care services, the effectiveness of palliative care for neurological patients, the importance of complex decision making for this patient group and the development of guidelines, to enable care to be more widely established for patients and families. These papers have developed from the evidence from earlier research and the experience of hospices and specialist palliative care teams and helped to encourage further research. They have been important in providing an evidence-base for neurological palliative care and support-ed a wider recognition of the role of palliative care for people with neurological disease. The re-search reported here demonstrates how the increasing collaboration between specialist palliative care services and neurology can result in improved care of patients with neurological dis-ease, together with their families.
