Pengaruh Model Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah Terhadap Kemampuan Pemahaman Konsep dan Penalaran Geometris Siswa
Authors: Mudhiah Siti , Shodikin Ali
Published: January 2019

Student learning achievement in Indonesia is low, this is because there are still many students who experience difficulties in learning geometry. To overcome these problems a way is needed so that students can understand concepts meaningfully and have good geometrical reasoning. This is certainly related to the appropriate learning model to be used in the learning process. One model of learning that can be used is a problem-based learning model. The purpose of this study is to describe the ability to understand the concepts and geometric reasoning of students who acquired a problem-based learning model compared with students who received conventional learning on quadrilateral material in class VII MTs. Tanwiriyah Kalisari. The research method used is quantitative with quasi-experimental research design. The results of the study showed that the ability to understand the concept of students who obtained a problem-based learning model was better than the ability to understand the concept of students who obtained conventional learning models. as well as the geometric reasoning abilities of students who acquired a better masculine learning model compared to the geometric reasoning abilities of students who acquired the conventional learning model.
A Cuckoo-based Workflow Scheduling Algorithm to Reduce Cost and Increase Load Balance in the Cloud Environment
Authors: Ghasemi Shahin , Hanani Ali
Published: January 2019

Workflow scheduling is one of the important issues in implementing workflows in the cloud environment. Workflow scheduling means how to allocate workflow resources to tasks based on requirements and features of the tasks. The problem of workflow scheduling in cloud computing is a very important issue and is an NP problem. The relevant scheduling algorithms try to find optimal scheduling of tasks on the available processing resources in such a way some qualitative criteria when executing the entire workflow are satisfied. In this paper, we proposed a new scheduling algorithm for workflows in the cloud environment using Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm (COA). The aims of the proposed algorithm are reducing the processing and transmission costs as well as maintaining a desirable load balance among the processing resources. The proposed algorithm is implemented in MATLAB and its performance is compared with Cat Swarm Optimization (CSO). The results of the comparisons showed that the proposed algorithm is superior to CSO in discovering optimal solutions.

Pension Policy Dimension to Ghanaian Workers’ Housing Needs Provision
Authors: Dovie Delali A. , Ayimey Isabella R. , Adodo-Samani Phebiemary
Published: January 2019

The paper explores workers’ housing needs, expectations and pension policy compatibility to meeting this need using the pension system as a mortgage facility. Use was made of a cross-sectional design. A sample of 131 workers was selected through convenient sampling. The findings show that workers have need for houses with retirement in focus and that they expect government to provide them with affordable houses. Government’s provision of these housing needs can purportedly be met via the national pension system’s mortgage facility. Significantly, house acquisition situated within the context of retirement preparation is indicative of retirement portfolio diversification. The findings have implications for promoting housing provision for all workers.

Anderson, Brouwer, Wendorf & Cahill (2016) Women’s Behavioral Responses to the Threat of a Hypothetical Date Rape Stimulus: A Qualitative Analysis
Authors: Anderson RaeAnn , Brouwer Amanda , Wendorf Angela R. , Cahill Shawn P
Published: January 2019

Objective: One in four college women experience sexual assault on campus. Campuses rarely provide the in depth self-defense programs needed to reduce sexual assault risk. Not much is known about the range of possible behaviors elicited by sexual assault threat stimuli besides assertion. To fill this gap, the aim of the current study was to explore qualitative themes in women’s intended behavioral responses to a hypothetical common sexual assault threat, date rape, by using a laboratory controlled threat. Methods: College women (N = 139) were randomly assigned to one of four different levels of sexual assault threat presented via an audio recorded vignette. Participants articulated how they would hypothetically respond to the experimentally assigned threat. Responses were blinded and analyzed using Consensual Qualitative Research methodology. Results: Six major themes emerged: assertion, compliance/acceptance, conditional decision-making, avoidance, expressions of discomfort, and allusion to future contact. Although almost all participants described assertion, a number of non-assertive responses were described that are not currently recognized in the literature. These non-assertive responses, including compliance/acceptance, conditional decision making, and avoidance may represent unique behavioral response styles and likely reflect the complex psychological process of behavioral response to threat. Discussion: The variety of themes found illustrates the great range of behavioral responses to threat. This broad range is not currently well represented or measured in the literature and better understanding of these responses can inform future interventions, advocacy efforts, and policies focused on sexual assault.

AbstractAs a developing country, Indonesia needs to strive for strong competition among the business community. This is in line with global conditions in the field of trade and investment. Such competitiveness has long been known in the Intellectual Property Rights (HAKI) system.The era of globalization, this is arguably one of the causes of intellectual property rights violations (IPR). Like a time bomb that can explode at any time and the explosion effect can be on everything around it. Progress in all sectors, especially in the fields of industry and trade, is one of the victims of globalization. The higher industrialization flows and trade flows demanded the accuracy and speed of transactions are in part. And of course there are many problems that arise in it, because in every positive case there is a negative side. For example, in the case of "Music Industry" (Music Industry), especially in the cassette / DVD / VCD trade, sometimes people who are positioned as consumers prefer prices that are relatively cheap rather than expensive. Although of course the expensive ones have higher quality.Some time ago, precisely in July 2012 as quoted in the sitejogja.okezone.com The Government through the Directorate of Investigation of the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (HAM) handled 44 cases of intellectual property rights violations (HKI) per May 2012. The 44 cases are related to the IPR domain, namely cases of copyright, patent, brand, industrial design, and Trade Secrets violations. And according to the Investigation Director of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Mohammad Adri, said, of the 44 cases of violations of IPR, the most cases were cases of brand violations which reached 27 cases. The second most, cases of industrial design violations (7 cases) and copyright cases (4 cases). The remaining patent cases and trade secrets. Illegal or pirated computer software problems are found in copyright cases.

Authors: Rizkiana Monika
Published: January 2019

Suatu produk dapat dibedakan dari produk lainnya dari segi merek (brand). Merek tersebut dapat dipakai sebagai alat untuk menciptakan pandangan tertentu dari para pembeli, baik melalui periklanan maupun melalui kegiatan promosi yang lain. Peranan merek tidak hanya sekedar pembeda suatu produk, namun tidak mustahil pada kondisi tertentu akan berwujud aset yang bernilai ekonomis. Menurut Kotler dan Amstrong (1999:245), merek adalah: Brand is name, term, sign, symbol, or design, or a combination of these intended to identify the goods or services of one seller or group of seller and to differentiate them from those of competitors.Menurut Keegan et. Al (1996:318), merek adalah: Brand is a complex bundle of images and experiences in the customer’s mind that communicates a promise about the benefits of a particular product manufactured by a particular company.

Bahasa Arab adalah bahasa yang digunakan secara luas dimuka bumi. Bahasa Arab merupakan bahasa utama dari 22 negara dan merupakan bahasa peribadatan dalam islam karena merupakan bahasa yang dipakai dalam Al-Qur’an. Jika dikatakan bahwa bahasa Arab adalah bahasa agama Islam, maka konsekuensinya adalah untuk memahami ilmu-ilmu agama islam dipersyaratkan menguasai bahasa Arab. Sebab sumber ilmu-ilmu agama di tulis menggunakan bahasa Arab. Sehingga agama Islam bahasa Arab bagaikan dua sisi mata uang yang tidak bisa dipisahkan. Sementara itu, jika dikatakan bahwa bahasa Arab adalah bahasa asing, maka konsekuensinya adalah bahasa Arab diposisikan sebagai bahasa komunikasi yang bukan sebagai prasyarat untuk memahami ilmu-ilmu agama islam.

Knowing me, knowing you: Emotion differentiation in oneself is associated with recognition of others’ emotions
Authors: Israelashvlili Jacob
Published: January 2019

Previous research has found that individuals vary greatly in emotion differentiation, that is, the extent to which they distinguish between different emotions when reporting on their own feelings. Building on previous work that has shown that emotion differentiation is associated with individual differences in intrapersonal functions, the current study asks whether emotion differentiation is also related to interpersonal skills. Specifically, we examined whether individuals who are high in emotion differentiation would be more accurate in recognizing others’ emotional expressions. We report two studies in which we used an established paradigm tapping negative emotion differentiation and several emotion recognition tasks. In Study 1 (N = 363), we found that individuals high in emotion differentiation were more accurate in recognizing others’ emotional facial expressions. Study 2 (N = 217), replicated this finding using emotion recognition tasks with varying amounts of emotional information. These findings suggest that the knowledge we use to understand our own emotional experience also helps us understand the emotions of others.
Negative and positive emotional complexity in the autobiographical representations of sexual trauma survivors with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Authors: Clifford Georgina , Hitchcock Caitlin , Dalgleish Tim
Published: January 2019

This study examined the diversity of experienced positive and negative emotions – emodiversity – within two existing datasets involving female survivors of sexual abuse and assault, with chronic Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Study 1 investigated the structure of the self-concept and Study 2 explored the organization of past autobiographical knowledge. In each study, we measured emodiversity for positive and negative emotion constructs in the PTSD samples, relative to healthy control participants with no PTSD and no history of sexual trauma. Results confirmed our hypotheses that individuals with chronic PTSD would show elevated negative emodiversity and reduced positive diversity across both the structure of the self-concept and the structure of the life narrative, relative to control participants. The current results differ from community studies where greater negative emodiversity is associated with better mental health but mirror those from a prior study with individuals with Major Depressive Disorder. This suggests that valence-based differences in emodiversity are potentially a broader transdiagnostic marker of chronic emotional disorder.
Full Shelves, Good Skills? Immigration, Adolescent Language Aptitude and New Evidence on Books in the Home from Four European Countries
Authors: Breznau Nate , Sauter Lisa , Salikutluk Zerrin
Published: January 2019

Evidence suggests that books in the childhood home impacts children’s educational and occupational attainments. Previous research finds this ‘book effect’ after conditioning on parental socio-economic status and national context. Human and cultural capital theories offer plausible explanations for this book effect. However, mechanisms underlying the book effect remain empirically illusory. Drawing on previous findings, we develop theoretical arguments that human and cultural capital are not the entire story behind the book effect. Designing a formal model of all these processes, we test our claims using immigration, language and country-context to adjudicate between mechanisms hypothesized by the theories. Using CILS4EU data in four countries and structural equation modeling to test these theories’ models against the data, we find the direct effect of books does not differ between native and immigrant adolescents in predicting 9th grade language aptitude scores. Moreover, this effect does not vary much by country. Reading habits and primary language spoken at home explain only part of the effect suggesting the presence of books measures something operating independently and in addition to human and cultural capital. We expand previous theoretical explanations to include books as creating opportunities for children whose parents are unlikely to cultivate scholarly values on average.
A Socioeconomic View of Status And Prospects of Goat Farming in Rural Areas of Nepal
Authors: Neupane N , Neupane H , Dhital B.
Published: January 2019

As Nepal is agriculture based country, 65% of people are engaged in agriculture Nepal. Moreover, the contribution of livestock to national GDP is significant. In this regard, an attempt has been made to review the prevailing situation of goat farming and various socio economic dynamics related to goat farming in Nepal. Various reports revealed the importance of livestock and furthermore small ruminants have situational advantages in context of rural areas of Nepal where many farmers are poor to afford bigger animals. Moreover, internal and international migration is worsening the availability of male youths which is further explaining the suitability of small ruminants in our context. Goat is the most popular small ruminant which can be handled by women and children in absence of young male members. It not only provides employment to the rural poor, it also acts as a security against the crop failure and has religious importance. Since supply is far behind the demand which is fulfilled through import, sufficient effort is necessary to increase the goat production in order to reduce the import and improve trade deficit of the country.

Authors: Paudel R. , Baral P. , Lamichhane S. , Marahatta B. P.
Published: January 2019

The world has already witnessed the rapid surge in use of Information Technology (IT) in agriculture and understands its effectiveness through the miracles we have achieved. In such context, agriculture extension and advisory service in Nepal can be heavily boosted with the help of most effective and affordable information and communication technologies (ICTs). With smart phones, internet services, mobile networks, televisions and radio widespread all over the country, they can prove to be a promising means for dissipation of information in rapidly altering and modernizing farming system of Nepal. This paper aims to explore the current scenario, role and effectiveness of ICTs in agro-advisory services of Nepal and to point out salient issues hampering the development of ICT. Information and findings are based on available literature, articles and publications and they suggest that ICTs can play a crucial role in linking extension, research and farmers and in the overall development of agriculture especially in the context of developing country like Nepal. The potential contribution of ICT in agriculture extension is still fully unexplored and they can be effective means for providing timely and relevant information to farmers residing in every corner of the country.

The climate change discourse has been evolving globally, and it has generated new ideas, debates and interests within the community of experts in local context too. People’s perceptions are critical components of the socio-cultural context within which people and societal system operate. People’s perception can compel or constrain social, economic cultural and political action to address particular risks and are liable of great influence. Present study is contemplated to construct a measuring tool to elucidate people’s perception about variability, causes, effect and impacts of climate change on production and productivity of major staple cereals of Nepal (Rice, maize wheat and potato) and standardized the same. Study was conducted on 15 different agro-ecological region of Nepal (n=900). As a result, screening and sorting from 105 statements collected and through content validation process final perception measuring instrument comprised of 70 statements was designed using equal appearing Likert scale. General criteria for perception scale construction related to item development, response set and statistical procedures are discussed. This scale was standardized for administration.
Intervention of Climate Smart Agriculture Practices in Farmers Field to Increase Production and Productivity of Winter Maize in Terai Region of Nepal
Authors: Gairhe J. J. , Adhikari M.
Published: January 2019

Climate change has been the burning issue in agriculture sector. The research world is focused on developing appropriate technology, innovations and concept to cope up this change. The Climate Smart Agriculture [CSA] has been adapted globally for cultivation and crop management in changing context without compromising yield and productivity. The CSA involves wide range altered techniques and innovations like using resilient varieties, water management, zero tillage, legumes incorporation, cover cropping, site specific fertilizer management, variation in planting date etc. Grounding on the similar practices and principles of CSA, the research in maize was conducted in 2014 in farmers' field of Eastern Nepal. Three progressive farmers with 1 hector of land were selected and Maize was cultivated using Zero tillage seed cum fertilizer driller tractor. This field experiment considers farmers as replication with six different treatments. All treatments differ to each other based on nutrient management, water management, residue management, tillage practice, crop establishment, and inclusion of legumes in the cropping system. Six treatments are coded as follows: Current Irrigated (CI), Improved Irrigated Low (IIL), Improved Irrigated High (IIH), Climate Smart Agriculture-Low (CSA-L), Climate Smart Agriculture-Medium (CSA-M), and Climate Smart Agriculture-High (CSA-H). Significant impact of intervention was observed in yield and yield attributes in the trial with climate smart agriculture practices than in conventional practices of farmers. Plant density, ear number, filled grains per cob and grain yield was substantially higher in climate smart practices revealing CSA to be the appropriate technology to minimize potential loss of climate change.
Evaluation of Efficacy of Fungicides Against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentis in Vitro at Lamjung, Nepal
Authors: Dahal N. , Shrestha R. K.
Published: January 2019

Fusarium is a soil borne pathogen which is common in almost all types of soil causing heavy losses in the crop production. Long term survival of pathogen in the soil as chlamydospores has increased its threat making it a highly devastating disease. High accessibility and simple application process of chemical control method has made it an effective and highly adopted approach of eliminating disease causing organisms. The present study was conducted in IAAS, Lamjung Campus to test the efficacy of fungicides in-vitro by poisoned food technique in PDA medium against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentis. The fungicides tested were Carbendazim (50% WP), Chlorothalonil (75% WP) and Dithane M-45 (75% WP) at three different concentrations (100 ppm, 150 ppm and 200 ppm). The treatments were arranged in complete randomized design and replicated five times. The measurement of diameter of the fungal mycelium was taken 8 times at 48 hours interval until the fungus nearly covered the plate in control treatment and inhibition percent of the chemicals were calculated. All the fungicides inhibited the fungal growth significantly, among which carbendazim was highly effective in all the concentrations reducing 100% of mycelial growth followed by chlorothalonil. Dithane M-45 showed least inhibition i.e. 26.62% in 200 ppm (day 13). The chemicals exhibited increased tendency of inhibition with increased concentration.

Published: January 2019

Hemato-biochemical profiles have been used widely to identify the health problems associated with productive and reproductive disorders. The objective of this study was to set up a baseline hematological and serum biochemical values. The study was carried out in 50 lactating cross bred Jersey cattle of Kaski district ranging in age from 3-7 years. Non-pregnant, lactating, apparently healthy and stall-fed cattle were selected for sampling and these animals were regularly dewormed and vaccinated against common diseases. All the hematological parameters were determined on the same day of collection using auto analyzer. The samples were also tested for blood protozoans (Anaplasma, Babesia, Theleria and Trypanosoma), using thin and thick smears. The serum samples were collected in a sterile vial for serum biochemical analysis and preserved at -200C until used for the assays. All the hematological parameters were within the normal range. However, 2% of the total animals tested appeared Theleria positive. Eosinophil and basophils were within the normal range suggesting that the deworming was effective and there was no allergic reaction. Mineral profile particularly glucose (11.75±0.87) was found significantly (P<0.05) low. This suggests that cross Jersey cattle were prone to hypoglycemia related metabolic disorders and corrective measures should be employed for better production. The values obtained in this study within the range can be used cautiously as reference value at lactating stage of cross-bred Jersey cattle. Further detail study is needed to exacting the standard reference value for this breed of cattle.

The experiment was conducted in the Horticulture farm of Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science, Paklihawa, Rupandehi, Nepal from March, 2017 to June, 2017 to screen the varieties of okra against Okra yellow vein mosaic virus under different management practices. The experiment was laid out in two factorial Split plot design and replicated three times. Five varieties of okra viz. Parvati, Arka Anamika, NOH-15, Super Green and Julie were used and five treatments viz. Jholmol (1:5), Azadiracthin (5ml/L), Imidacloprid (2ml/L), cow milk (100ml/L) and control (distilled water) were used as foliar spray on plants. The chlorophyll content of the leaves was higher in Julie followed by Arka Anamika. The white fly count was found to be reduced after the application of treatments in the succeeding date in almost all varieties. The efficiency of the management practices was found to be significant with Super Green and Julie varieties with least Percent Disease Incidence(PDI) value and in par with each other. Imidacloprid and Azadiractin had the leastPDI value and the combination of Super Green variety with Imidacloprid, Super Green with Jholmol, Super Green with cow milk, Julie with Imidacloprid, NOH-15 with Imidacloprid were found resistant. Similarly, the highest yield was obtained in Julie with Imidaclropid combination. However, due to the maximum waiting period of this chemical as well as its negative impact on human and plant health, Julie with Azadirachtin combination can be suggested to farmers to have eco-friendly management of Okra yellow vein mosaic virus.
Being in Relationship: Reflections on Dis-Performing, Hospitality, and Accessibility
Authors: Acton Kelsie , Johnson Megan , Jung Katie , Louw Aimee , McAskill Ash , Peres Marta Simões , quest seeley , Watkin Jessica
Published: January 2019

This article is from online and personal conversations between members of the Dis-Performing: Disability and Performance Working Group following the graduate student initiative Convergence: Unsettling the Americas: Radical Hospitalities and Intimate Geographies, in Toronto, Ontario, the territory of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit River. As members, allies, artists, researchers, and advocates of Deaf and disability communities, we all experience hospitality and accessibility in many different ways—whether hosting or guesting. This article explores our stories and perspectives on this during and since the Convergence event on 5–7 October 2017. As artists and individuals passionate about creating accessible for all, we discovered the importance of being in relationship with one another to create meaningful conditions of accessibility, beyond concepts of accommodation that put the labour on those needing to advocate for themselves. This article shares the complexities of these relationships through considerations of hosting failures, ethics of creating protocols, interanimation, micro-protections, care, slowness, and the process of invitation. We share strategies we took as a group, and as individuals, to find meaningful spaces and time to host and guest ourselves, both within and outside our working group For us, disability generates different ways of understanding the world, experiencing hospitality, and how to (be) both guest and host.

Labour market outcomes of Veterans
Authors: MacLean Mary Beth , Keough Jacinta , Poirier Alain , McKinnon Kritopher , Sweet Jill
Published: January 2019

Introduction: Employment is important to health, well-being, and adjustment from military to civilian life. Given the importance of employment, we examine Veteran labour force outcomes in Canada. Methods: We examined labour market indicators from the 2010 and 2013 Life After Service Studies cross-sectional Survey on Transition to Civilian Life, along with the 2013 Income Study for Canadian Regular Force Veterans (released since 1998). Results: In Canada, most Regular Force Veterans surveyed were employed after release and satisfied with their work – both employment and satisfaction rates grew over time. The unemployment rate did not differ from that of the general Canadian population. However, Veterans were more likely than the general Canadian population to experience activity limitations at work. Variations in outcomes were found across diverse groups of the population. For example, unemployed Veterans were younger at release, had the fewest years of service, and were more likely to have served in the Army than employed Veterans. Veterans who were not in the labour force were older and had more years of service, and many were experiencing barriers to work. Employment rates were lower among female Veterans and among medically released Veterans. Discussion: Labour market outcomes vary across sub-groups of the Veteran population, suggesting targeted approaches to improve labour market outcomes. Findings suggest that the prevention of work disability is important for improving outcomes. Best practices in preventing work disability include restructuring compensation to recognize varying degrees of earnings capacity and to encourage labour market engagement and supported employment programs.

The private household sector utilises a large contribution of the global energy and water resources. Household appliances have been developed to be increasingly efficient and resource saving. The efficiency of the appliance itself and consumer behaviour have an influence on the real-life usage of resources. A calculation module was created to help the consumer understand which part of their behaviour related to what amount of energy and water resources and associated costs are produced. With this module, the complete laundry and dishwashing processes could be covered and a personalised feedback on the use of water and energy and the associated costs could be generated. This module of a resource calculator has been available online on the website of Forum Waschen, a German multi-stakeholder association, since 2013. Input data from the users were stored anonymously with the consent of the user and analysed offline to learn about the actual consumer behaviour. A total of 2 049 useable datasets could be evaluated covering the years 2013 to 2016. They show that consumer behaviour is an important factor leading to the economizing of resources following the optimisation of the efficiency of household appliances. In some cases, households started to reduce the consumption and act resource saving. Some households now wash less, at lower temperatures, dry about 50 % of the laundry outside in the summer and iron less. They use mostly the energy-saving programme for automatic dishwashing and wash only necessary things in a sink filled with warm water. In other cases, households are careless and do not think about their behaviour. They wash their laundry and dishes more often than necessary in half-loaded machines and use resource-consuming programmes at high temperatures. Moreover, they dry the laundry in heated rooms and iron all or most of their laundry. Additionally, they practice inefficient handwashing of dishes under hot running tap-water. Careless households can start to act sustainably when undertaking household activities to reduce their consumption and save resources and costs by paying more attention to the environmental impact and responsibility and changing their behaviour. Utilising the resource calculator, the user can simply see the consequences of a changed behaviour in terms of energy or water saved or lower associated costs. The consumer may be triggered to change their behaviour towards a more sustainable use of the resources with this kind of nudging providing personalised information.

Sodium salts of sulfonated cardanol polyethoxylates (NSF–nSO, with n = 3 or 6 for the average ethylene oxide number) were synthesized using cardanol polyethylene oxides from renewable cardanol and sodium isethionate as reagents. The surface tension, interfacial tension (IFT), foaming, wetting ability and emulsifying ability of NSF–nSO were investigated. It was found that there was no significant difference between NSF–3SO and NSF–6SO in the critical micelle concentration (CMC), but the surface tension of NSF–3SO at CMC was lower than that of NSF–6SO. The diffusion coefficient (Deff) decreases with the increase of the NSF–nSO concentration. The IFT between NSF–3SO solution and dodecane is lower than that of NSF–6SO at studied salt concentrations. The foaming, wetting and emulsifying abilities of NSF–3SO are better than those of NSF–6SO. The above results show that NSF–3SO has better surface/interface activity than NSF–6SO.

Dioctophyma renale is a helminth that preferably inhabits the definitive host's right kidney, but is also described in peri-renal tissues, ureters, bladder, ure-thra, scrotum, inguinal subcutaneous tissue, uterus, ovaries, mesenteric lymph nodes, mammary gland, thoracic cavity, pericardium, abdominal cavity, stomach and liver. By presenting progressive destructive behavior, it can lead to total loss of the affected organ. The symptoms are often unspecific, varying according to the af-fected region, and may often be non-existent. Its incidence is related to access to aquatic environments and feeding habits of the animal, such as fish or raw frog in-gestion. The objective of this study was to report a case of Dioctophyma renale in a dog inhabited in the city of Santos, a non-endemic area of the parasite, in order to alert the population, including veterinarians, of the possibility of research and risks of this disease. The reported patient is a female dog, with no defined breed of ap-proximately 3 years old, which began to present prostration and progressive hematu-ria observed in clinical consultation. Hemogram and abdominal ultrasonography ex-ams were requested; however the latter one was the exam that identified the nema-toid inside the right kidney. The nephrectomy was performed the day after the diag-nosis and the patient is currently well.

Within Brazilian dairy cows, milk production has been gaining prominence in the current scenario. Milk samples were collected from all the rooms of the 31 dairy cows in lactation from the properties from October to November of 2013. The cows had no clinical symptoms. Of the animals evaluated 5 (16.1%) presented positive for the diagnosis of CMT varying between one, two and three crosses. E 26 (83.9%) did not present without positivity for the test. It was concluded that the California Mastitis Test (CMT) was able to identify cows with subclinical mastitis in 16.1% of the cows, and 83.9% were negative.

Acute canine idiopathic polyradiculoneuritis is an immune-mediated disease and a more common form of acute polyneuropathy in dogs. Lawyers have been related to the response to limb flaccidity, resulting in the understanding of the nerve and spinal branches, usually without loss of sensitivity. Clinical and therapeutic self-variability are manifested through the clinical response and rehabilitation of the animal, in most cases, completely. The monitoring of the animal is of great relevance for a symptomatology not returned aggressively, causing a great repercussion to the patient. Differential detection, intoxication, toxicity or femoral infection and memory antibodies to protozoa such as Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum are required. The report was submitted to a study of acute idiopathic polyradiculoneuritis in canine sent to the Hospital of Veterinary Clinics (HCV) of the Federal University of Pelotas. The results were negative to the clinical and therapeutic diagnosis, having obtained an improvement in the quality of life, being this a totally symptomatic treatment.

Liver disease known as "liver cheap" is a zoonotic disease, it is caused by the helminth fasciola hepatica. There are definitive hosts that are bovine, the parasite infects the liver of the bovine, and also the intermediate hosts that are lymnea snails, they shelter themselves in humid grazing and dams. Infected livers are condemned by the inspection service in the slaughterhouses, as they are considered unfit for human consumption, and thus entail great economic losses for the refrigerating industries. In the municipality of Itaperuna in the state of Rio de Janeiro, the focus of this study, there is a high prevalence of this disease. The average rate of occurrence of hepatic Fasciola in cattle slaughtered in the municipality from January 2017 to April 2018 was 15.4%. In this scenario, the objective of this study was to analyze and report the rates of condemnation of bovine livers due to hepatic fasciolosis in a refrigerator under municipal inspection service located in Itaperuna-RJ and to measure the economic losses caused by this parasite. With a result of a period of 14 months it obtained a loss of R $ 4,480.00. Emphasizing the importance of the dissemination of these data to raise awareness among producers about the prevention of this endemic disease in our region, such as deworming of animals and proper management of grazing.
