Mechanistic Evidence for Red Meat and Processed Meat Intake and Cancer Risk: A Follow-up on the International Agency for Research on Cancer Evaluation of 2015
Authors: Turesky Robert J.
Published: October 2018

The Working Group of the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified the consumption of processed meat as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1), and classified red meat as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A); consumption of both meat types is associated with an increased
risk of colorectal cancer. These classifications are based on a compilation of epidemiology data and mechanistic evidence from animal and human studies. The curing of meats with nitrite can produce carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds (NOCs), and the smoking of meat produces polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The high-temperature cooking of meat also produces carcinogenic heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs). The ingestion of heme from meat can catalyze the formation of NOCs and lipid peroxidation products (LPOs) in the digestive tract. Many of these chemicals form
DNA adducts, some of which can induce mutations and initiate carcinogenesis. Another recent hypothesis is that N-glycolylneuraminic acid, a non-human sialic acid sugar present in red meat, becomes incorporated in the cell membrane, triggering the immune response with associated inflammation
and reactive oxygen species, which can contribute to DNA damage, tumor promotion, and cancer. The mechanisms by which these chemicals in meat induce DNA damage, and the impact of dietary and host factors that influence the biological potency of these chemicals are highlighted in this updated
report.

Published: October 2018

Yuzu is a citrus fruit cultivated mainly in northeast Asia. Due to the huge gastronomic interest emerging in recent years, some attempts to grow yuzu in Europe are being made. Juice and peel of yuzu cultivated in Switzerland have been characterised in this study. Peel constituted the
major part of yuzu fruit followed by flesh, juice and seeds. The fruit degree of maturity was investigated by measuring pH, total titratable acidity and total soluble solids of the juice. The analyses were pursued by determining the content of vitamin C, malic and citric acids amounting to
0.560, 6.18 and 44.7 g/L, respectively. Four flavanones: naringin, hesperidin, naringenin, and hesperetin were identified and quantified in both juice and peel. The most abundant flavanone was hesperidin with 47 ?g/mL and 640 ?g/g dry matter (DM) in juice and peel, respectively. For
the first time yuzu grown in Switzerland have been analysed and the obtained values have been compared with literature for other citrus fruits. Yuzu juice showed higher contents of citric and malic acid. Yuzu cultivated in Switzerland contained nearly twice as much vitamin C as yuzu juices
from different regions of Japan. The content of vitamin C of yuzu was as high or higher than in most other citrus fruits. Large differences in the content of flavanones in yuzu juice from different regions of Japan were reported, in general the values noted were lower than those in the present study.
O que narram licenciandos de História sobre o impacto da tecnologia em sua formação inicial?
Authors: Costa Marcella Albaine Farias da
Published: October 2018

O presente texto procura entender de que forma professores de História em formação inicial – alunos das turmas de Didática Especial de História e Prática de Ensino de História desenvolvidas em 2014 na Faculdade de Educação (FE) da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) e participantes do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) – significam sua trajetória profissional no que tange à temática da tecnologia. A experiência aqui trazida foi pautada no olhar (auto) biográfico e utilizou-se da plataforma do Museu da Pessoa enquanto possibilidade metodológica. Foi possível perceber que o digital, na visão desses alunos, não é pensado para além de recurso auxiliar da aprendizagem, ou seja, não é questionado como algo que possa modificar a epistemologia do conhecimento histórico.

O Santíssimo Sacramento em Casa Provisória:
Authors: Sant'Anna Sabrina Mara
Published: October 2018

Sacrário, ou tabernáculo, são termos usados para designar o lugar onde se guarda no templo católico a reserva eucarística (= hóstias consagradas para a comunhão dos enfermos e adoração com culto de latria). Na Época Moderna, especialmente após o Concílio de Trento reafirmar a doutrina da presença real, o costume de se fixar o sacrário sobre o altar principal das igrejas, ou sobre o altar de capelas separadas especialmente para o culto do Santíssimo Sacramento, tornou-se convenção amplamente praticada. Este artigo apresenta considerações sobre o decoro dos sacrários eucarísticos no território do Bispado de Mariana, verticalizando a investigação de casos em que o Santíssimo Sacramento precisou ser transferido para uma casa provisória, isto é, para tabernáculos de altares confrariais localizados na nave dos templos. A documentação consultada abrange o período 1747 a 1779 e refere-se à Sé Catedral de Mariana e às sedes paroquiais erigidas no arraial de Santo Antônio do Ribeirão de Santa Bárbara (atual Santa Bárbara) e nas Congonhas do Campo (atual Congonhas).
Challenges and proposals for enabling dynamic heterogeneous execution of Big Data frameworks
Authors: Xekalaki Maria , Fumero Juan , Kotselidis Christos
Published: October 2018

The efficient execution of Big Data applications requires a large quantity of compute and memory resources. Typically, those resources are in the form of data centres with numerous processing elements connected through a computer network. Although initially the majority of data centers were utilizing only CPU resources, nowadays we can find heterogeneous accelerators such as GPUs and FPGAs. Ideally, Big Data frameworks and applications should exploit those diverse hardware resources in order to push their performance boundaries or increase resource utilization. Despite ongoing work to enable such functionality, the majority of the solutions revolve around external libraries that provide pre-compiled kernels for heterogeneous accelerators. This fact imposes programmability and code fragmentation challenges that can only be addressed by enabling Big Data platforms to dynamically compile and execute their code on such devices. In this paper we analyze and discuss the major challenges for programming and executing Big Data processing applications on distributed systems with heterogeneous hardware. In addition, we present our work-in-progress towards providing a heterogeneous programming framework for running Big Data applications on systems that include diverse hardware resources including CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. In contrast to existing approaches, our envisioned solution employs JIT compilation and runtime support, integrated in the data flow engine, enabling the automatic acceleration of Big Data platforms completely transparently to the user and without sacrificing programmability.
The Handmaids of Jacob’s Story in the Context of Christian Art
Authors: SERDAR DİNÇER Pınar
Published: October 2018

A related issue addressed in this research is whether or not these handmaids in the Jacob story, who are depicted in Christian art as playing important roles and holding crucial positions in the family, are biblically more important to both the narrative and the family than has traditionally been recognized. Because of the importance of the historical context, the story of Zilpah and Bilhah is a remarkable myth for females and may be viewed as a master archetype of the age-old infertility problem. This raises of the question of how handmaids were defined in the Bible. In the study, examples of Christian art were included with the Bible commentary. Consequently, identifying the handmaids is only possible by following the chronological sequence of events in Genesis. This study also shows the identify of handmaids in the biblical book of Genesis. Besides the Bible, rabbinic sources were also investigated in detail. It is possible that children may have increased the status of women in Genesis but this is only true of women who already had status to speak of.

Rainfall Prediction Using Artificial Neural Network
Authors: Salmayenti Resti , Hidayat Rahmat , Pramudia Aris
Published: October 2018

Artificial neural network (ANN) is widely used for modelling in environmental science including climate, especially in rainfall prediction. Current knowledge has used several predictors consisting of historical rainfall data and El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). However, rainfall variability of Indonesian is not only driven by ENSO, but Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) could also influence variability of rainfall. Here, we proposed to use Dipole Mode Index (DMI) as index of IOD as complementary for ENSO. We found that rainfall variability in region with a monsoonal pattern has a strong correlation with ENSO and DMI. This strong correlation occurred during June-November, but a weak correlation was found for region with rainfall’s equatorial pattern. Based on statistical criteria, our model has R2 0.59 to 0.82, and RMSE 0.04-0.09 for monsoonal region. This finding revealed that our model is suitable to be applied in monsoonal region. In addition, ANN based model likely shows a low accuracy when it uses for long period prediction.

Religiosity and Confirmation Bias or: How I learned to stop worrying and love preregistered direct replications.
Authors: McPhetres Jonathon
Published: October 2018

Based on research suggesting that religiosity is associated with intuitive thinking and provides a sense of structure and consistency, I test the hypothesis that religiosity is associated with a stronger general susceptibility to confirmation bias when reasoning about mundane topics (total N = 2,262). Initial results across four studies were suggestive of a general relation between religiosity and confirmation bias, but two large preregistered replications failed to provide additional confirmatory evidence. While these results do suggest that religious people may have a stronger bias when evaluating information regarding their religious beliefs (Study 4), this bias does not appear to extend beyond that domain. In the context of a fitting topic (e.g. confirmation bias), this manuscript exemplifies the value of the combination of preregistration and direct replications even after conducting multiple successful conceptual replications. Psychology, like other sciences, faces severe publication bias favoring significant results. The largely non-significant results presented in this manuscript can be communicated to other researchers in the field who may wish to undertake similar research and begin where this research left off or improve upon its method.
A meta-framework for designing open data studies in psychology: ethical and practical issues of open qualitative data sets
Authors: Branney Peter , Reid Kate , Frost Nollaig , Coan Susan , Mathieson Amy , Woolhouse Maxine
Published: October 2018

To date, open science, and particularly open data, in Psychology, has focused on quantitative research. This paper aims to explore ethical and practical issues encountered by UK-based psychologists utilising open qualitative datasets. Semi-structured telephone interviews with eight qualitative psychologists were explored using a framework analysis. From the findings, we offer up a context-consent meta-framework as a resource to help in the design of studies sharing their data and/or studies using open data. We recommend ‘secondary’ studies conduct archaeologies of context and consent to examine if the data available is suitable for their research questions. In conclusion, this research is the first we know of in the study of ‘doing’ (or not doing) open science, which could be repeated to develop a longitudinal picture or complemented with additional approaches, such as observational studies of how context and consent are negotiated in pre-registered studies and open data.

TRENDS OF WOMEN'S CANDIDACY IN NATIONAL ELECTIONS OF NEPAL
Authors: Shrestha Amrit Kumar
Published: October 2018

The study area of this article is women's candidacy in national elections of Nepal. It focuses on five national elections held from 1991 to 2013. It is based on secondary source of data. The Election Commission of Nepal publishes a report after every election. Data are extracted from the reports published by the Election Commission and analyzed with the help of the software SPSS. This article analyzes only facts regarding the first-past-the-post (FPTP) electoral system. Such a study is important in order to lead to new affirmative action policies that will enhance gender mainstreaming and effective participation in all leadership and development processes. The findings will also be resourceful to scholars who are working in this field. The findings from this investigation provide evidence that the number of women candidates in national elections seems almost invisible in an overwhelming crowd of men candidates. The number of elected women candidates is very few. Similarly, distribution of women candidates is unequal in geographical regions. Where the human development rate is high the number of women candidates is greater. The roles of political parties of Nepal are not profoundly positive to increase women's candidacy. Likewise, electoral systems are responsible to influence women‟s chances of being elected. FPTP electoral system is not more favorable for women candidates. This article recommends that if a constituency would reserve only for women among three through FPTP then the chances of 33 percent to win the elections by women would be secured. Researcher: A Research Journal of Culture and SocietyVol. 3, No. 3, January 2018, Page: 47-62
STAFF EXPENSES AND ITS EFFECT ON THE BANK'S NET PROFIT
Authors: Budhathoki Prem Bahadur , Rai Chandra Kumar
Published: October 2018

The aim of the study is to explore the relationship between a net profit of Nepalese commercial banks with staff expenses and staff bonus. This study is based on panel data which is collected from five sampled banks through the review of the annual report during the study period of fiscal year 2012/13 to 2016/17. These collected data are analyzed by using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, and log-log multiple regression models. The Mini-Tab software is used for the analysis of data. The results indicate that the predictor variable staff expenses do not significantly impact on net profits of the bank even though they are positively correlated. On the other hand, the response variable (net profit) is significantly affected by the predictor variable staff bonus. Researcher: A Research Journal of Culture and SocietyVol. 3, No. 3, January 2018, Page: 63-71

Published: October 2018

We present a systematic first-principles study of the structural, magnetic and optical properties of perovskite-structure EuTiO3. This compound exists in different structures: cubic, tetragonal and presents multiferroic properties. Comparing the formation energy between tetragonal and cubic structures, the system has a tendency to symmetry lowering structural deformations composed of rotations of the oxygen octahedral, especially the I4/mcm phase is the most stable structure. Our calculations of the high symmetry cubic structural prototype show an antiferromagnetic order type G. We discuss the dynamical stability of Pm-3m, P4mm and I4-mcm structures, and the influence of some parameters on the magnetic coupling and the electrical polarization.
La turbulencia asociada con velocidades orbitales de olas que aún no rompen
Authors: Ocampo-Torres Francisco Javier , Hernandez-Olivares Aldo Omar
Published: October 2018

Ocean-atmosphere exchange processes are known to decisively determine the sea state, the weather and our planet´s climate. With the ultimate goal of a better understanding of the processes contributing with turbulent kinetic energy into both boundary layers above and below the sea surface, we approach the ocean surface wave phenomenon, and in particular we study the non-breaking waves potential effect.  Therefore, measurement of particle velocities were made in a fluid under non-breaking waves, for the purpose of detecting turbulence and its association with the wave steepness. A total of 184 experiments were analyzed, each one with a duration of 3.5 minutes and the presence of approximately monochromatic waves with varying steepness (0.012-0.273). The measurements were carried out in a wave tank with dimensions of 12.26 m × 0.55 m x 0.32 m using an acoustic velocimeter (Vectrino Profiler, Nortek). The u, v and w components of velocity were measured on a 3.5 cm long fluid column in 35 cells of 1 mm in height. During the experiments, the voleocity profile between 1.5 cm and 8.6 cm depth was obtained,  referred to the water level in the wave tank (h = 48.6 cm  ± 0.5 cm). The waves propagated in deep waters (h/λ > 0.5), where λ is the wave length. Only u(t, z) and w(t, z) components were considered for the analysis since, waves are practical two-dimensional (v(t, z) = 0). Power spectra were calculated in as function of frequency corresponding to u'(t, z) and w'(t, z) turbulent fluctuations, an inertial subrange (isotropic turbulence) was detected in the most of the spectra, for certain depths regardless of the wave steepness. Results from turbulent fluctuations frequency spectra show that eddy size involved in transferring energy to smaller ones, increases with the wave slope.
Modelling carbyne C12-ring calcium decorated for hydrogen storage
Authors: Desales Guzmán Luis Alberto , Pacheco Sánchez Juan Horacio , Isidro Ortega Frank Jhonatan , García Rosales Genoveva
Published: October 2018

We computationally investigate the hydrogen storage properties of C12 carbyne structure decorated with one and up to six calcium (Ca) atoms adsorbed to outer surface. The calculations are carried out by density functional theory DFT with the generalized gradient approximation PW91 (Perdew and Wang) as implemented in the modeling and simulation Materials Studio software. Dmol3 is used to calculate, total energies, charge density HOMO-LUMO and Mulliken population analysis. Based on these results, up to six H2 molecules per Ca atom can be physisorbed with an average binding energy of 0.1272 eV per H2 molecule. The study is extended to a system with six calcium atoms, which can adsorb up to 36 H2 molecules. This leads to 15.87 weight percentage (wt %) for the gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity. According to these results, the calcium-coated carbyne C12 structure is a good candidate for hydrogen storage with application to fuel cells.

This work is devoted to investigate solutions to RC circuits using four different types of time fractional diferential operators of order  0 < γ ≤ 1. The fractional derivatives considered are, Caputo, Caputo-Fabrizio, Atangana-Baleanu and the conformable derivative. It is shown that Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative (non-local), and the conformable (local) derivative could describe a wider class of physical processes then the Caputo and Caputo-Fabrizio. The solutions are exactly equal for all four erivatives only for the case γ=1.
The Missionary Position: The American Roots of Northrop Frye’s Peaceable Kingdom
Authors: Andrews Jennifer
Published: October 2018

Key to Canada’s attractiveness internationally is its characterization as a “peaceable kingdom,” a term famously used by Canadian scholar Northrop Frye in 1965 to articulate what makes Canada distinctive. In the conclusion to Literary History of Canada, Frye uses his reading of American folk art to put forth the concept of Canada as on “a quest for the peaceable kingdom,” citing works by two men (Erastus Salisbury Field’s Historical Monument of the American Republic and Edward Hicks’s Peaceable Kingdom) whose religious convictions also fundamentally shaped their artistic output to frame his argument. Through a closer examination of these canvases, the article explores how Frye’s idea of the peaceable kingdom is shaped by American religions and their missionary traditions—specifically Quakers and Methodists—and the historical flow of these religions across the Canada-US border, in combination with the influx of Loyalists northward and the subsequent commitment to missions that was part of British, American, and Canadian society. The American roots of Frye’s peaceable kingdom serve as a tangible reminder that borders are porous, and that those origins need to be acknowledged as a critical part of Canada’s self-construction.
Exploring How Canadian Voters Evaluate Leader Character in Three Cases: Justin Trudeau, Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump
Authors: Seijts Gerard , de Clercy Cristine , Nguyen Brenda
Published: October 2018

In exploratory research, we investigate whether a recently developed framework of leader character, grounded in the business administration literature, has any utility for understanding how citizens value the character of modern political leaders. We are interested in whether the entire leader character framework, or only a subset of its dimensions, are valued by Canadians in political leaders. An opinion poll of 506 Canadians in the fall of 2016 examines how they responded to the framework, which dimensions of leader character they value highly, and how they employed it to evaluate three well-known politicians who were then in the media spotlight: Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau; and American presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The results suggest Canadians possess a clear, distinct set of preferences with respect to the ideal shape of leader character. This finding is salient toward understanding the modern political culture of Canada, as well as addressing speculation that the rise of populism in many countries suggests voters might embrace a leader in the mould of American president Donald Trump.
Characterization of Inconel 625 surface layer modified by laser shock processing
Authors: Rozmus-Górnikowska Magdalena , Kusiński Jan , Cieniek Łukasz
Published: October 2018

In this study the microstructure of nickel alloy (Inconel 625) surface layer after laser shock processing (LSP) was investigated by means of light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The LSP treatment was performed using a Q switched Nd:YAG laser. Optical and SEM images of the Inconel 625 after LSP showed that on the surface as well as on the cross-sections of the treated samples slip bands were clearly visible. Moreover, TEM micrographs revealed that under the thin melting layer of the treated material a high density of dislocations was present. The changes in microstructure come down even to 100 μm below the surface. The new and the most important finding of this study is that, in addition to slip bands, numerous cracks of hard carbide precipitates in the area affected by the laser process were visible both on the treated surface and on the cross-section of the material.

Polislerin, ilk kez ellerini kullanarak, trafiği yönlendirmeleri ile sorunları çözmeye çalışmasından bu yana uzun bir süre geçmiştir. Bu süreçte hem ulaşım araçları hem de ulaşımdan kaynaklı sorunlar farklılaşmış ve çeşitlenmiştir. Nüfus ve araç sahipliği artmış, kısa ve uzun mesafeli seyahat ve yük taşıma eğilimi yükselmiş, ulaşım alanında konfor, güvenlik, hız gibi beklentiler çoğalmıştır. Beklentiler ve gerekliliğin artmasıysa; ekonomik performans, güvenlik, hareketlilik ve çevresel sürdürülebilirliği geliştirmek için ulaşım altyapısı ile bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin uyumunu zorunlu kılmıştır. Bilgi ve teknolojinin, ulaşımın her alanına uygulanması ise ulaşım sistemlerinin akıllı sıfatını kazanmasını sağlamıştır. Ulaşım sistemlerinin akıllı hale gelmesi, gerçekleşen ekonomik faaliyetlerin alıcı ve satıcının yanı sıra üçüncü kişiler üzerinde de fiyatlandırılmamış yan etkiler doğurmasına neden olmuştur. Bu etkiler yararlı olduğunda pozitif, zararlı olduğunda negatif dışsallıklar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Akıllı Ulaşım Sistemi sayesinde insan kaynaklı hatalar minimize edilerek trafik kaynaklı üçüncü kişilerin zaman kaybı, ölümü, kazalar esnasında yaralanması, maddi kayıpları, stres yaşamaları, sağlık sorunları ve hava kirliliği gibi birçok negatif dışsallığın önüne geçilebilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yazın taraması kapsamında, Avrupa Birliği ve çeşitli ülkelerin (Avustralya, Singapur, Japonya, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri gibi) Akıllı Ulaşım Sistemleri ve Hizmetlerini inceleyerek (nedenlerini, uygulamalarını ve çıktılarını) ne tür dışsallıklara sebep olduklarını ortaya koyarak, konunun önemini (insan, çevre ve ulaşım bazlı olması nedeniyle) vurgulayarak bu tür sorun yaşayan ülkelere çözüm önerilerinde bulunmak olmuştur.
Kilitbahir’de Günümüze Ulaşmayan İki Tabya Hakkında Bazı Tespitler

Osmanlı döneminde, özellikle Fatih Sultan Mehmet zamanında top teknolojisi gelişmiş ve buna uygun savunma yapıları inşa edilmiştir. Daha sonra zaman zaman gerek askeri teknolojide gerekse askeri mimaride Avrupa’nın gerisinde kaldığı iddia edilen Osmanlı,  büyük ölçüde çağa ayak uydurmak ve kendini savunmak için farklı biçimlerde savunma yapıları meydana getirmiştir. Yüksek duvarlara sahip kalelerin tehlike oluşturmaya başladığı ve henüz tam olarak tabya mimarisinin gelişmediği bir dönemde, belki de bir geçiş yapısı niteliğindeki mazgal açıklıklara sahip kâgirden inşa edilen yapılar ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu yapıların ilk denemelerini Çanakkale Boğazı gibi stratejik öneme sahip bir yerde görmek mümkündür. Başbakanlık Osmanlı Arşivlerinden elde edilen birkaç belge bu konuda bizi aydınlatmaktadır. III. Selim döneminde, boğaz muhafızı Hacı Ali Paşa tarafından çok kısa sürede yapılan iki tabyanın bu ilk denemelerin bir ürünü olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu iki yapı, kale ile tabya arasında bir geçişi ortaya koyan, 17. yüzyılda Avrupa’da hudut boylarında daha çok bir şehri kuşatmak ve geçici istihkâmlar olarak yapıldığını gördüğümüz, “Palanka” ismi verilen yapıların form değiştirmiş şekilleri olmalıdır. Osmanlının 17. yüzyılda kullandığı bir savunma yapısı tipini, 19. yüzyılın başlarında aynı malzeme ve inşa tekniğiyle çeşitli şekillerde kullandığı anlaşılmaktadır.
Kültür - İnanç Turizmi Bağlamında Balkanlarda Tarihi-Kültürel (Türk- Müslüman Kökenli) Varlıkların Korunması: Ülkelerarası Sayısal Karşılaştırmalı bir Saha Araştırması

Uluslararası hareketliliğin, bölgeler ve kentler arası göçlere sahne olan ve göçmenlerin yoğun olarak yaşadığı Balkanlar, farklı etnik grupların dağınık olarak karma bir şekilde bulunduğu irili ufaklı yeni kent devletlerinden ve kısmen de, ulus olmaya çaba sarf eden bazı devletçiklerden oluşmaktadır. Dolayısıyla Balkanların, kentsel çeşitliliğin planlanması çerçevesinde nasıl kavramsallaştırılması gerektiğine dair ilginç bulgular veren bir coğrafya konumunda olduğu rahatlıkla söylenebilir. Balkanlarda pek çok yerleşimle birlikte kültürel mirasa dair izlerin de oldukça tahrip edilerek hasar gördüğü bilinmektedir. Şimdilerde ise kurulan yeni devletler için; eşitlik, hakçalık ve adil bir kent sağlama anlayışları ancak savaşlarla ödenen ağır bedellerin sonrasında, belki zamanla sindirilip kabul gören değerler halini almaya başlayacaktır. Bu yeni kültürel evrimin bölgede hâkim olabilmesi için ise, çeşitliliğe duyarlı koruma ve planlama pratiklerinin ve planlama eğitiminin bölgede farklı uygulamalarla görünür kılınması gerekmektedir. Ancak bu tür kentsel politikalar ile kentsel çeşitliliğin planlama çerçevesinde kavramsallaştırılması ve kabulü sayesinde, iç ve dış barış, etnik kaynaşmalar ile sağlanabilecektir.

Cottonseed has been widely used in ruminant feed and has generated great interest, especially to be important source of energy and protein replacing to forage and by low cost. Despite being used in ruminant feed, cottonseed has an anti-nutritional factor, named as gossypol, which can cause toxicity mainly to young animals, which have generated some resistance to their use on nutrition of these animals. In Brazil, several studies have evaluated the effect of gossypol contained in cottonseed on the daily dry matter intake, weight gain and feed efficiency. Although there are a large number of research related to the use of cottonseed in ruminant nutrition, there is no agreement on the maximum gossypol security on the diet of these animals. Thus, in order to demonstrate the effect of gossypol on reproductive performance, this review shows some researches in dairy cattle, and will have great importance for the generation of knowledge in the development of different nutritional management in which the levels of inclusion of cottonseed on the diet are such that they cannot cause impairment on the reproductive performance of ruminants.

The diagnosis of many diseases that affect the animals has the aid of laboratory tests, as these can demonstrate significant changes of the organism not seen in the physical examination. The blood count has all the parameters to examine the blood cells of the peripheral vessels and these are classified as erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets. It is the most commonly used exam in the clinical routine due to its practicality, economy and clinical utility, which is divided into erythrogram, leukogram and thrombogram. Because it is a subject of great clinical importance, it is necessary that there is adequate knowledge about the tests so that the correct interpretation and proper treatment of the animal is performed. For this purpose, hemoglobin reports were collected from two laboratories of veterinary clinical pathology in the city of Joinville - SC, and from these, triage and separation were performed in groups. Firstly, the exams that had the information related to gender, breed and age were separated, totaling 13286 exams. Two groups were later formed, one with reports of anemia (n = 3294) and one with polycythemia (n = 2747). Within the two groups, 3 subgroups were created, separating all the reports on sex, breed and age. The ages were separated into three groups: young than 1 year old, adults between 1 and 8 years old, aged over 8 years old. The races were grouped by name, being the non - defined breed (SRD) classified as a race and at the end of the research the three races that had the highest number of analyzed reports were discussed. After all triages were completed, the chi-square test was performed through the statistical program R to obtain a descriptive analysis of the data. Finally, a predominance of females, SRD and elderly in both the anemia and polycythemia groups was observed, but for all the groups, all the subgroups formed had a difference between them. Therefore, it is suggested that there is a risk group for anemia and polycythemia, but further research is needed.

Bone osteosarcomas are very common to find in small animals, but the osteosarcoma extra-osseous primary renal are not, because of that, relates on literature about it are rare. The propose of this college work was relate the case of a undefined female and middle-aged dog attended on a Rio de Janeiro state´s clinic who had a unexpected appearance of a renal osteosarcoma. The characteristic clinical symptoms of renal osteosarcoma are similar to the renal pathologies in general and doesn´t show specificity, for this reason, should be make complementary exams like ultrasonography, abdominal radiography and laboratorial exams for example, to help the diagnostic. The animal in case was submitted to a unilateral nephrectomy and for the purpose to diagnostic was made a histopathological exam on Veterinary laboratory tests - Veterinary Diagnosis. Little is known about the prognosis of this pathology, because there too many few relates on literature about the evolution of this kind of case, becoming hard to get a parameter about animal´s afterlife with a unexpected disease. Therefore, it´s possible to conclude the necessity of more searches about this case.
