Published: January 2018

The aim of this research was to obtain a combined recombinant protein consisting of immunodominant regions of Brucella outer membrane proteins (Omps) with the molecular weights of 25 kDa (Omp25) and 31 kDa (Omp31). The search for candidate proteins was carried out using NCBI PubMed and NCBI GenBank databases. The two most immunodominant regions of Omps were selected. The first region was in a position from 48 to 83 amino acids of Omp31, while the second one was in the position from 180 to 224 amino acids of Omp25. This combined sequence was designated as OmpBm-Ba. The pET32 vector was used for cloning and the expression of the combined recombinant protein in E. coli BL21(DE3). The antigenicity of recombinant OmpBm-Ba (rOmpBm-Ba) as compared with rOmp25 and rOmp31 has been tested on the sera of 109 cattle with positive results to brucellosis according to classical serological tests. The rOmpBm-Ba had a higher antigenicity than the single ones, since it confirmed the presence of Brucella-antibody in all serum samples with positive results of i-ELISA/rOmp25 and/or i-ELISA/rOmp31, as well as additionally revealing 7.3% and 31.2% seropositive animals, respectively. A comparative study of the diagnostic value of i-ELISA/rOmpBm-Ba and conventional tests on blood sera of 24 cattle subjected to a bacteriological examination at slaughter showed a higher reliability of enzyme immunoassay. Further research is necessary to get a more objective evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of Brucella rOmpBm-Ba by challenging laboratory animals. .

Published: January 2018

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and distribution patterns of LSDV infections in the provinces of northern Turkey, and to detect the factors influencing the epidemiology of LSD virus infections (age, breed, season, climate, geography, population dynamic, animal movement), as well as to assess the diagnostic value of the sampled materials in the diagnosis of LSDV infections. Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an economically important cattle disease. The disease is endemic in many African countries, but outbreaks have also been reported in Turkey and the Middle East. In this study, a total of 564 samples (skin, blood and lung) from different cattle breeds (Jersey, Holstein-Friesian, Anatolian Black, Simmental and Brown Swiss) (n=465) in the many herds suspected of lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) infection as clinically and macroscopic pathologic remarks, housed in the 7 different provinces of northern Turkey, were used for gel based conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR). LSDV nucleic acid was detected in 259 of 564 (45.92%) materials by PCR. According to the result of PCR, the LSDV infection was diagnosed in 54.62% (254/465) of the sampled animals. The diagnostic value of necropsy and clinical materials such as skin and lung were determined as more valuable diagnostic materials in the diagnosis of LSDV infection by PCR. Data showed that LSDV infection was widespread in the provinces of northern Turkey and that the prevalence of the infection in the region varies in accordance with factors such as geographical conditions (climate, season, location etc.) and the method of breeding. .
Refractive state of eyes in dogs
Authors: Balicka Agnieszka , Balicki Ireneusz , Trbolova Alexandra , Szadkowski Mateusz , Tomkowicz Aleksandra
Published: January 2018

The article discusses refractive errors in dogs. The refractive errors presented in the article are myopia, hyperopia, anisometropia and astygmatism. These disadvantages are discussed in individual dogs breeds. Analysis has proved that most of dogs are emmetropic an thus have normal visual acuity. In dogs and human alike the refraction defect may have a genetic compound, it may be congenital or acquired and may change with age. Ametropia directly affects the orientation of animals and their behavior, therefore examination for refractive error is an important element of vision testing. .
Alexandre de Afrodísia pensa Aristóteles: o caso do intelecto produtivo [Alexander of Aphrodisias thinks Aristotle: the case of the productive intellect]
Authors: Neves Allan
Published: January 2018

O título de “comentador” dado a Alexandre de Afrodísia (c. 200 d.C.) por filósofos posteriores revela seu importante papel na elucidação do pensamento de Aristóteles. Esse título, porém, oculta o fato de que, na tentativa de completar as insuficiências e problemas emergentes do texto aristotélico, Alexandre desenvolveu ele mesmo, com argumentos próprios, uma doutrina filosófica consistente que em alguns aspectos não encontra qualquer ressonância direta no primeiro mestre e que também levanta novas questões. Neste artigo, pretendo mostrar como isso é o caso na noética tomando em perspectiva a noção de intelecto produtivo (noûs poiêtikós), ela mesma inexistente no Estagirita. [The title of “commentator” ascribed to Alexander of Aphrodisias (c. 200 AD) by posterior philosophers reveals his important contribution to the elucidation of Aristotle’s thought. This title, however, conceals the fact that, in the attempt to fulfill the insufficiencies and emergent problems of the Aristotelian text, Alexander himself developed by proper arguments a consistent philosophical doctrine, which in some aspects does not have any resonance in the first master and that also arises new issues. In this article, I aim to show how this is the case in noetics, availing the notion of productive intellect (noûs poiêtikós), itself absent in Aristotle.]
"Salvar os corpos", "conectar revoltas": para uma noção de Direito em Camus ["Save the bodies", "connect revolts": for a notion of Law in Camus]
Authors: Duarte Amsterdan , Pereira Márcio
Published: January 2018

Utilizando, principalmente, as noções de Absurdo, Revolta e Limite, este trabalho procura construir uma noção de Direito a partir do pensamento de Albert Camus. Para tanto, o primeiro passo será, com o autor, identificar e criticar um tipo de Direito que, apresentando-se ainda hoje influente, mimetiza o Absurdo para intensificar o exílio do indivíduo no mundo. Em seguida, buscaremos construir uma noção de Direito que, mantendo intensa articulação com as ideias de Revolta e Limite, constitua-se, simultânea e inseparavelmente, em afirmação radical da vida humana e em expressão do agenciamento coletivo da Revolta. [Using, mainly, the notions of Absurd, Rebellion and Limit, this work aims to build a notion of Law based on the thought of Albert Camus. In order to do so, the first step is to, along with Camus, identify and criticize a kind of Law that, still today, very influential, mimics the Absurd in a way to intensify the individual’s exile in the world. Next, we build a notion of Law that, maintaining an intense connection with the ideas of Rebellion and Limit, represents, simultaneously, a radical affirmation of human life and an expression of the collective agency of Rebellion.]
Is the Use of Proton-pump Inhibitors a Risk Factor for Alzheimer’s Disease? Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Implications
Authors: Ide Kazuki , Matsuoka Norihiro , Kawakami Koji
Published: January 2018

Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as omeprazole, lansoprazole and rabeprazole,
are used for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and peptic ulcer disease.
The use of PPIs has increased, especially in older individuals, and a pharmacoepidemiological
study indicated the use of PPIs peaks in people aged 80 years or older. In this population,
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurological disorder and type of dementia,
occurring with a frequency of approximately 10%. Currently, over 45 million people are estimated
to have dementia worldwide, and it is a major cause of death in the elderly. Recent
clinical studies have indicated that chronic use of PPIs can be a risk factor for increased incidence
of dementia, including AD. Potential molecular mechanisms related to the pathophysiology
of AD (e.g., modulation of amyloid protein processing) have also been reported
in both in vitro and in vivo studies. Although the clinical implications of these results are
inconclusive, a literature review of the current knowledge is important for future basic and
clinical research. This review summarizes the possible mechanisms connecting the use of
PPIs and the incidence of AD. Additionally, we summarize results from clinical studies to
highlight the influence in humans.

Authors: Slopsema Julia P. , Boss John M. , Heyboer Lane A. , Tobias Carson M. , Draggoo Brooke P. , Finn Kathleen E. , Hoff Payton J. , Polasek Katharine H.
Published: January 2018

Background:

Electrical stimulation is increasingly relevant in a variety of medical treatments. In this study, surface electrical stimulation was evaluated as a method to non-invasively target a neural function, specifically natural sensation in the distal limbs.

Method:

Electrodes were placed over the median and ulnar nerves at the elbow and the common peroneal and lateral sural cutaneous nerves at the knee. Strength-duration curves for sensation were compared between nerves. The location, modality, and intensity of each sensation were also analyzed. In an effort to evoke natural sensations, several patterned waveforms were evaluated.

Results:

Distal sensation was obtained in all but one of the 48 nerves tested in able-bodied subjects and in the two nerves from subjects with an amputation. Increasing the pulse amplitude of the stimulus caused an increase in the area and magnitude of the sensation in a majority of subjects. A low frequency waveform evoked a tapping or tapping-like sensation in 29 out of the 31 able-bodied subjects and a sensation that could be considered natural in two subjects with an amputation. This waveform performed better than other patterned waveforms that had proven effective during implanted extra-neural stimulation.

Conclusion:

Surface electrical stimulation has the potential to be a powerful, non-invasive tool for activation of the nervous system. These results suggest that a tapping sensation in the distal extremity can be evoked in most able-bodied individuals and that targeting the nerve trunk from the surface is a valid method to evoke sensation in the phantom limb of individuals with an amputation for short term applications.
Effectiveness of Experimental Left-Turn Sign Usage in Terms of Crashes and Analyzing Severity of Left Turn Crashes in Alaska
Authors: Abaza Osama A. , Chowdhury Tanay Datta
Published: January 2018

Background:

Ensuring safety in the roadways is one of the critical tasks as crashes generally bourgeoning rapidly all over the world. Because the turning movements of vehicles are important to motorist safety, Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT & PF) experimented with left-turn traffic signs at six signalized intersections in the city of Anchorage, Alaska.

Objective:

The study aims at evaluating effectiveness of the left turn signs and analyze severity of left turning crashes.

Methods:

Preliminary statistical analysis and Binomial Logistic regression are applied for analyzing the data.

Results:

Preliminary analysis of before (1994-1998) and after (2005-2012) crash frequency data showed a reduction of crashes at four of the six intersections studied per 1000 entering vehicles. An analysis of crashes per year indicated that left-turn crashes at five intersections declined significantly after 2009, showing an improvement in safety. Pavement markings with signage were vitally important in contributing to improve compliance rates. Covering the pavement markings with snow and ice in Alaska for long periods signify the importance of installation of left turn signage to reduce crashes at studied intersections. Logistic regression analysis revealed that improper turn and lane usage, careless driving and angle type crashes were the most significant factors contributing to PDO crashes. Dry pavement conditions as well as almost all day except evening peak and off peak period influence PDO crashes in Alaska.

Conclusion:

Left-turn signs were effective in reducing crashes, and proper maintenance of road markings as well as driver awareness increased the effectiveness of signage and level of safety for left turning vehicles.

Authors: Kurniawati Eka Yuli , Santoso Budi , Husnan Lalu Hamdani
Published: January 2018

Social assistance is the provision of donations in the form of money/goods from the regional government to individuals, families, groups, and communities that are not continuously and selectively to protect against possible social risks. This study aims to evaluate the implementation and identify factors causing social assistance problems in BPKAD Lombok Utara Regency budget year 2015. A research method in this study using qualitative methods with case study approach. Research data obtained through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis is done interactively using data reduction stages, presenting data, and drawing conclusions or verification. The result of the research shows that (1) the lack of communication and coordination among social assistance management officers in financial administration so that the disbursement of social assistance funds is inconsistent as it is based on the Decree of the Regent of Lombok Utara Regency that is not by the APBD 2015. (2) The difference of understanding of the verifier in the process of administering finance to social assistance management procedures. And (3) the absence of Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) of social assistance management in Lombok Utara Regency. So hopefully in the process of administration of social assistance then BPKAD Lombok Utara Regency needs to improve coordination and thoroughness with the parties concerned and make SOP about social assistance management.

Popular Sovereignty and Constitutional Continuity
Authors: Winterton George
Published: January 2018

Australian constitutionalism appears to be in turmoil. Ever since the Free Speech cases of 1992, commentators have been telling us that constitutionally we have undergone a “glorious revolution” and that Australian constitutionalism has experienced a “fundamental paradigm shift” from parliamentary to popular sovereignty. They have remarked on the “inadequacy of our constitutional theory of government” and urged us to acknowledge “a new foundation on which, step by step, our constitutional jurisprudence will need to be rethought.” This would include a new theory of judicial review.

Some of this hyperbole can be attributed to youthful exuberance and, for older enthusiasts, to the allure of novelty. All are excited by the prospect of implied constitutional rights. The constitutionally “frozen continent” admittedly presented a fertile field for those commentators who have complained of our “impoverished constitutional culture”, bemoaned the absence of “an underrmg [constitutional] philosophy or vision” or even “an overall framework”, and queried the appropriateness of our existing “constitutional concepts, ideals and values ... to the Australia of the late twentieth century”. Our constitutional framers have even been criticised for adopting features of the United States Constitution only “at a secondary machinery level” but “nothing of [its] spirit”; or, as another commentator put it, “drawing on its most conservative, least inspiring features — jettisoning the rest”. The original United States Constitution’s solicitude for slavery was presumably overlooked.
A Wavy Line in the Sand: Bond and Jurisdictional Issues in Judicial and Administrative Review
Authors: Creyke Robin , Hill Graeme
Published: January 2018

Executive accountability is the central concern of administrative law and accountability, in administrative law terms, is achieved principally by a system of judicial and tribunal review of administrative decision-making. The ease with which citizens can approach courts and tribunals for review of government action, therefore, becomes an accountability issue. In turn, that raises the question of the tests for standing and any other jurisdictional gateways to review. This article is not concerned with issues of standing and whether a person is “aggrieved”. However, it will discuss the jurisdictional tests which must be satisfied in order to obtain review by the Federal Court (generally referred to as “judicial review”) and the Commonwealth Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT/Tribunal) (generally referred to as “administrative review”). The statutory tests are designed to determine the point in the decision-making process at which judicial and administrative review is permissible. The underlying hypothesis is that the jurisdictional tests have been devised to strike a balance between protecting the rights of individuals affected by government decisions while preserving efficient administration.
A Hybrid-Approach to Protect Rights? An Argument in Favour of Supplementing Canadian Judicial Review with Australia's Model of Parliamentary Scrutiny
Authors: Hiebert Janet L
Published: January 2018

One of the difficult issues liberal democracies face is how to distinguish allowable government action from the protected sphere of human activity. Rights have become increasingly important as a critical standard for evaluating the justification of policy. Yet no consensus exists on the best institutional methods for defining the scope of rights or for ensuring that rights are adequately and appropriately considered in the formulation of policy. Since the Second World War, many countries have shown an increasing interest in utilising a bill of rights against which to evaluate state action. Even parliamentary systems, founded on Dicey's precepts that the rule of law and parliamentary sovereignty are a superior way for respecting rights, have departed from, or have been pressured to alter, this institutional framework.

However, a bill of rights, which accords a more authoritative role for judges in resolving citizen-state conflicts, is not without its critics. Proposals for bills of rights attract a wide range of concerns that judicial review of codified rights will reify rights, distort the way political issues are dealt with, assign priority to a different range of values, and result in elected officials reneging on their political responsibility to undertake controversial political decisions.

Choice of Law in Tort–The Song that Never Ends
Authors: Greene Janey
Published: January 2018

This is the song that never endsIt goes on and on my friendSomeone started singing it not knowing what it wasAnd they'll go on forever now becauseIt is the song that never ends …

Choice of law in tort may seem to be a tune we cannot get out of our heads at the moment, but it must be remembered that it presents a set of problems which have vexed legal minds — practical, academic and judicial — for centuries. Recent years have seen the issue of conflicts between the tort regimes of the Australian states and territories prove particularly difficult to address. This article will first canvas some of the reasons for the difficulty in formulating a rule in this area. These reasons are many and varied. First, the proper or central function of the law of tort itself has long been the subject of dispute. Then, the very nature of a right in tort has not lent itself to any obvious choice of law approach. The rapid evolution in this century of new kinds of torts has exacerbated the matter.

The brain injury caused by the Brain Skull Trauma has two essential components: the primary one related to the mechanical injury caused by the forces of acceleration, deceleration, rotation and compression that act on the skull and brain at the moment of impact and the secondary one that refers to a number of metabolic and biochemical changes that self-perpetuate and aggravate the initial picture. The formation of hematomas and cerebral oedema can lead to an increase in intracranial pressure and compromise of cerebral perfusion and oxygenation. When uncontrolled, intracranial hypertension leads to cerebral herniation and death of the animal. The therapeutic approach to traumatic brain injury and intracranial hypertension is still controversial because there is insufficient clinical and experimental evidence to elaborate a definitive protocol. It is, however, unquestionable that this should be expedient and aggressive.

The biotechnology industry produces several enzymes with numerous uses, being able to be present in the food industry; drinks; pharmaceuticals as therapeutic agents or as an alternative to a fairly current issue such as reducing the impact on the environment as well as generating renewable resources. Agroindustry wastes that are disposable in the production process can be used in order to add value and / or propitiate the use of them, and can be used in animal feed. Tannase (Tannin-acylhydrolase) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes esters and side bonds of hydrolysable tannins, such as tannic acid, promoting the release of glucose and gallic acid. This enzyme can be obtained from vegetable, animal and microbial sources, being present in greater concentration in vegetable parts rich in tannins (fruits, leaves, twigs and peels). For the production of this enzyme a simple culture medium may be used, such as agroindustry by-products, such as grape rind, cashew, coffee or wheat bran, rice and oats, plus tannic acid. In the present work were selected species of fungi of the genus Aspergillus for the production of tanase. These being grown in modified medium; thus indicating the production capacity of tannase by them and the possible best producers of the enzyme. 19 fungi were tested, of which only 4 (A. caespitosus URM 5182, A. janus URM 4456 A. levels URM 2803 and A. sydowi URM 3066) did not show growth in the modified medium (increased with tannic acid). The species that most stood out for the growth in the medium screening tanase were the species Aspergillus japonicus and Aspergillus niger showing a growth in the colonies superior to the others selected.

Several authors commented that the inadequate quality of sheep meat is due to the low quality of the meat of discarded animals, like adult animals. The carcasses are excess fat; the meat color is darker, meat firmer, and has a more pronounced taste and aroma. The objective of this work was to measure the performance, carcass quality and meat of sheep of different categories. Twenty five animals, 5 lambs, 5 lambs, 5 whole males, 5 castrated males and 5 sheep were used. After a period of 50 days of daily grazing and supplementation at night the animals were slaughtered. Measurements were made on the carcass and meat of the animals. Data were submitted to analysis of variance and Tukey test at 5%. Regarding performance, biometrics and carcass evaluations, castrated males, whole males and sheep presented the highest values, but it is interesting to note that lambs and lambs presented satisfactory results. Another important point is that the true yield, shear force and overall acceptability of the sample in the sensory analysis were similar across all categories. Regarding the size of cuts what should be taken into account is what the consumer market expects, consuming large or small cuts. As for the quality of the meat, adult animals presented more fat, which may be interesting to guarantee a better carcass and sensorial quality of the meat, as long as it is not an excess that increases the losses in the carcass toilet or worse the odor of the meat.

Megabacteriosis is a disease that affects some species of birds, having as etiological agent Macrorhabdus ornithogaster, a gram positive microorganism of bacillary form and with characteristics of fungus, being classified as an anamorphic asymmetric fungus. It is an opportunistic agent that becomes pathogenic in cases of immunosuppression, thus manifesting its clinical form, which varies greatly according to each animal, which can lead to death. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of megabacteria in psittacids kept in commercial establishments in the municipality of Uberaba, state of Minas Gerais, associated with the conditions of breeding. For this, samples of secretions of the ventricle and proventriculus of 71 birds were collected, among them Nymphicus hollandicus (n = 33), Melopsittacus undulatus (n = 31), Agapornis roseicollis (n=4) Bolborhynchus lineola (n = 3) and transferred to glass slides. The samples were sent to the Laboratory of Preventive Veterinary Medicine of the Veterinary Hospital of Uberaba, to investigate the pathogen. After staining of the slides by Gram, it can be noticed the presence of the microorganism in 35.2% of the birds analyzed. The prevalence among the Cockatiels, Budgerigars, Lovebirds and Barred parakeet were respectively: 42.4% (14/19), 29.0% (9/22), 50.0% (2/4) and 0% (0/3). In this context, it can be concluded that Macrorhabdus ornithogaster is common among birds, especially among cockatiels and the incorrect handling of the animals may be the cause of the high prevalence. Commercial establishments were observed as conditions of cages, quality of drinking fountains and feeders, amount of feces in the cage and number of animals per inadequate cage.

This paper aims to discuss the role of forensic veterinary medicine with emphases on the well-being of dairy cattle. The overall awareness grows on dairy cattle management and treating during the production life. Animal welfare is the biggest challenge to reach productive systems. Cases of suspected cruelty, abuse or neglect of animals confront professionals and their teams with ethical dilemmas, which involve economic, managerial and legal concerns. Every day the media often reveals information about how production animals are treated. Given this situation there was great interest of consumers in general about products from animals raised under a humanized management mode. In this context, forensic veterinary medicine emerges as a science based scientifically on crime, ethics, law and welfare of production animals. Not only a specialty, forensic veterinary medicine has been bringing a new scenario, exercising a multidisciplinary vision and subsidizing a new paradigm in the animal production chain. The description of this article made clear a new vision of the system of exploitation of dairy cattle where the relation of everyday attitudes that taken account the behavioral, physiological, reproductive and health must be considered, enclose ethics, respect and compassion, to favor of the balance between production and animal welfare.
