Xenophobia and Locals’ Negative Attitude Toward Tourists at the End of a Global Health Crisis: The Case of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Aslani Ehsan , Dehghan Pour Farashah Mohammadhossein , Santos Norberto
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between locals’ xenophobic sentiment and behavior and their negative attitudes toward tourists at the end of a global health crisis. After reviewing the literature, the authors developed a research model. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to measure the assumed model and assess hypotheses. The sample size is 513 people from various countries who participated in an online survey. The collected data was analyzed using SmartPLS 3. The findings revealed that even after the decline in the public’s concern about COVID-19, fear and risk perception have a positive and direct effect on precautions. Also, fear has a positive and direct effect on xenophobia, while risk perception negatively affects it, contrary to expectations. Furthermore, the findings showed the positive and direct effect of xenophobia on their negative attitude toward domestic and international tourists. In the next similar conditions, once international destinations are gradually recovering and returning to pre-pandemic normal conditions, the findings of this study can help destination management organizations (DMOs) by providing a realized perception of global locals’ attitudes toward tourists. In addition, the developed model is capable of being examined for individual destinations. The present study contributes to knowledge by developing a model that reflects locals’ xenophobic sentiment and behavior and their negative attitudes toward tourists in the aftermath of a global health crisis. Also, the participation of respondents from various countries presents a reliable insight into the global post-pandemic situation facing the tourism industry.

Shifting Polri's Law Enforcement Strategy: Restorative Justice for Public Trust
Authors: Firdaus Muhammad , Dwilaksana Chryshnanda , Onielda Muhammad Daffa Auliarizky
Published: January 2024

Restorative justice has gained importance within the Indonesian National Police as a means of law enforcement and security services in the era of globalization and modernization. This approach offers a humane alternative that focuses on the recovery of victims and offenders, aiming to prevent crime and resolve conflicts. The police have transitioned from a purely punitive approach to embracing restorative justice principles. Community policing is crucial for reducing crime rates and fostering public trust. The challenge lies in shifting the law enforcement paradigm towards restorative justice and implementing community policing to build public trust. The research methodology involves normative legal research with an empirical approach, employing a descriptive-analytical nature. Secondary and primary data are used for analysis. Qualitative analysis and deductive conclusions are drawn. Findings indicate that the integration of restorative justice within community policing is an effective solution to improve the relationship between the community and the police. It is recommended that the police introduce the restorative justice approach in their community policing programs, thereby shifting the law enforcement paradigm and fostering public trust. This research emphasizes the significance of restorative justice in the context of community policing and its potential impact on law enforcement practices and public perception of the police

Published: January 2024

O presente artigo apresenta um modelo de gestão da água para edificações residenciais verticais. Partindo de revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema em questão, foram elaborados dois check-lists e três questionários, aplicados junto aos condôminos, ao síndico e aos funcionários responsáveis pela limpeza das áreas comuns e irrigação dos jardins da edificação pesquisada. A bacia hidrográfica do rio Paraíba e principalmente a região do Taperoá e Alto Paraíba, ou seja, Cariri Paraibano é de extrema importância para o setor socioeconômico local e regional. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo principal analisar a climatologia da região do Cariri Paraibano, como a variabilidade climática influencia a precipitação local e como se dá a variabilidade espaço-temporal das chuvas na região, utilizando para isso a ferramenta IAC desenvolvido por Rooy em 1965. Foi encontrada semelhança entre o padrão de precipitação da região do Taperoá e Alto Paraíba. Um “ponto de inflexão” na distribuição de precipitação foi encontrado na região do Taperoá e Alto Paraíba, na qual até a década de 1960, foram observados anos secos consecutivos.

The article is devoted to the study of psychological aspects of survival in Nazi concentration camps. An analysis of camp everyday life practices, as well as behavioral and psychological strategies of both prisoners and camp management, is presented. Particular attention is focused on the phenomenon of depersonalization, and emotional reactions of people entrapped in extremely harsh life in the camp. As sources for the analyses there were taken the memoirs of famous psychiatrists Viktor Frankl and Bruno Bettelheim, which were based on their personal experiences, psychological observations and insights, since they themselves were prisoners of Nazi concentration camps. The article also refers to the memoirs of R. Hess, which allow us to comprehend the strategies of behavior of camp functionaries and their way of dealing with prisoners and everyday life in the concentration camp.

The Don Enlightenment in the Era of Reforms and Revolutions (the Middle of the 19th Century – the First Third of the 20th Century)
Authors: Kislitsyna Inna G.
Published: January 2024

The periods of reforms of the 19th century, revolution, civil war and Soviet construction of the 1920s of the 20th century, unprecedented in the concentration of innovations in the Don enlightenment, are investigated. The author traces the formation of the legal statuses of the estate-Cossack and peasant schools of the Don region, the emergence of female and secondary education in the region. Changes in the educational space of the Region of the Don Army (RDA) are associated with the inclusion in 1878 of the Rostov region and the Taganrog city government in its composition. An analysis of various types of RDA schools showed that there were twice as many parish schools in military villages and farms as there were schools in peasant settlements. The primary school of the Synod, after growth in the 1880s, lost its position at the beginning of the twentieth century due to the low level of education. The peculiarities of secondary education in the region are the class-Cossack character of gymnasiums in the Cossack centers of the Department of Internal Affairs, the priority development of military Cossack educational institutions, the provision of benefits to specialists of Cossack origin. The establishment of the Don Polytechnic Institute in Novocherkassk meant that, in terms of the development of education, the RDA rose to a level comparable to the central regions of the country, at the same time, most school-age children did not have access to educational institutions. During the Civil War on the territory of the White Cossack quasi-state “The Great Army of the Don”, the learning process was not interrupted, and functioned according to the laws of the estate school. The Soviet Unified Labor School, separated from the church and representing equal rights to education for representatives of all social groups and nationalities, was formed after the end of the Civil War. The system-forming link was the state administration of education, acting in line with the decisions of the Communist Party. In the 1920s and the country made a leap from mass illiteracy of the population to the introduction of universal compulsory primary education, which stopped the constant reproduction of the illiterate when new generations entered life. Development of the Don regional educational space system in the 19th-20th centuries became a progressive civilizational process.
NARRAR LO DIGITAL: PASOS FRONTERIZOS ENTRE VIDEOJUEGO Y LITERATURA EN PIGLIA, GAMERRO Y FERNÁNDEZ SILANES.
Authors: Molina Pablo
Published: January 2024

Este trabajo analiza la relación entre literatura y videojuegos, interrogando cómo ciertas obras literarias tematizan lo digital y lo problematizan. Asumimos como perspectiva teórica la semiótica cultural de Iuri Lotman y su noción de “frontera”, entendida como una zona de intenso intercambio y negociación de sentido. Ejemplificaremos con tres novelas: La ciudad ausente (1992) de Ricardo Piglia y la máquina de relatos como un anfibio analógico-digital; el videojuego y la cultura hacker como ariete político en Las Islas (1998) de Carlos Gamerro; y la forma en que la novela Space Invaders de Nona Fernández Silanes (2014) potencia metafóricamente al videojuego para expresar una experiencia epocal. Nuestro objetivo es mostrar la versatilidad del lenguaje literario para traducir fenómenos y experiencias novedosas en el sistema de la cultura. Nos interesa remarcar las relaciones dialógicas entre los distintos lenguajes de la cultura, en este caso la literatura tematizando al videojuego.

Published: January 2024

O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar os processos de (re)categorização pelo uso de hashtags em textos produzidos na rede social X (antigo Twitter), a fim de verificar o traço de desqualificação da polêmica à luz do argumento ad hominem. Para tanto, fundamentamo-nos nas reflexões teóricas de Amossy (2017) sobre a polêmica como modalidade argumentativa, recorremos também aos estudos desenvolvidos por pesquisadores da Linguística Textual brasileira (Cavalcante, Custódio Filho e Brito, 2014) para fundamentar os processos referenciais analisados, bem como utilizamos a classificação de Fiorin (2015) no tocante às características do argumento ad hominem. Analisamos dois textos ancorados em contextos polêmicos dos anos 2020 e 2021 que envolvem a conduta do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro com assuntos de interesse público. Os resultados demonstram que a hashtag é um recurso tecnolinguageiro importante para os pontos de vistas antagônicos na polêmica pública, por isso ela é mobilizada em processos referenciais que têm a finalidade de desqualificar o adversário em interações que ocorrem em âmbito digital on-line.
The battle for differentiated integration in the EU energy policy
Authors: Grosse Tomasz Grzegorz
Published: January 2024

The main purpose of the article is to describe differentiated integration in the EU energy policy which concerns the exemption of the Nord Stream 2 and OPAL pipelines from European law, and more precisely from the so-called Third Energy Package. The attempt to derogate EU law in relation to these pipelines in Germany was of great economic and political importance for Central Europe as a whole. It also affected the modification of EU law and thus had systemic consequences for the entire EU. In this article, I will analyse the process aimed at derogation from the application of European law and its consequences. Furthermore, I will try to answer the question to what extent the public discussion hindered the possibilities of exemption from European law. Finally, I will turn to clarifying the reasons why exclusion from EU law in the case under review has failed. This seems to be of great importance when explaining other failed attempts to diversify integration in recent years as well; it may also help delineate what limitations there are for the very process in the future.

Authors: Yeşil Yeşim , Oner Serap , Dinc Celik Gulbiye , Bay Habibe , Eksioglu Aysun , Ceber Turfan Esin
Published: January 2024

Objective:This study aims to evaluate the effect of the delivery method on breastfeeding status of primiparous mothers during the first 24 hours.

Methods:In this descriptive and analytical study, the sample consisted of 126 primiparous mothers with vaginal (n= 54) and cesarean (n= 72) deliveries. The research data were collected in a hospital through a personal information form and LATCH. Breastfeeding was assessed at the 6th, 12th, and 24th hours within the first 24-hour period after the delivery.

Results:A total of 83.3% of mothers with vaginal delivery started out breastfeeding in the first hour, while the rate was 43.1% for mothers with cesarean delivery. A total of 94.4% of mothers who had vaginal birth gave their babies colostrum, whereas the rate was 80.6% for mothers who had a cesarean birth. While there were no statistically significant differences in Applications 1 and 3 between the LATCH scores of mothers with vaginal and cesarean deliveries, Application 2 produced a significant difference (p< .05).

Conclusions:Delivery method influenced the breastfeeding behavior and had an impact particularly on initiation of breastfeeding in the first hour.
Scoping Review of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder in Iran
Authors: Twohig Michael P. , Seydavi Mohammad , Capel Leila K. , Levin Michael E. , Akbari Mehdi
Published: January 2024

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) has been found efficacious in randomized clinical trials (RCTs), but the two widely known RCTs were conducted within the United States with predominantly White samples. Research that evaluates treatments like ACT for OCD outside the typical Western cultures is needed. The current scoping review summarizes the key characteristics and findings from 18 RCTs that evaluated ACT for OCD in Iran. These RCTs are largely unknown in the broader scientific literature despite representing the vast majority of ACT for OCD trials, in part because the majority are published in Persian. The preponderance of RCTs treated participants in groups, and most protocols did not include exposure exercises. Of 18 trials, 5 were single sex. Use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) was common with all participants on stable doses at pretreatment in many of the trials. Methodological quality was low to medium. ACT was inconsistent against nontraditional comparison conditions, slightly favorable to empirically validated treatments, and favorable compared with the waitlist and SSRIs. The process of change data indicated that ACT increased the psychological flexibility more than cognitive behavior therapy or SSRIs. These results highlight that findings on ACT for OCD from Western populations replicate and generalize to individuals in Iran. These findings also offer insights gained from studying ACT in Iran and significantly expand the literature based on ACT for OCD that can be integrated into scholarship by all researchers.
Cross-Generational Transmission of Intimate Partner Violence: The Role of Direction and Dynamics
Authors: Bailey Benjamin , Turjeman Hagit
Published: January 2024

Studies of the cross-generational transmission of intimate partner violence (IPV) have yielded controversial findings about the centrality of child abuse (CA) and child exposure to parental violence (EIPV) as a risk factor for interpersonal violent relationships in adulthood. This cross-sectional study examines the intergenerational cycle of IPV by differentiating the gender of the parent and the directionality of violence. The purpose of the study was to test (a) the prevalence of the three patterns of IPV as suggested in Straus’s (2015) Dyadic Type’s typology (e.g., man only, woman only, or both) for both CA and EIPV; (b) the relevance of the Dyadic Type’s Typology of IPV on the cross-generational transmission of IPV; and (c) whether the gender of the violent parent has any differential effect on the cross-generational transmission of IPV. A total of 1,196 Israeli Jewish and Arab students completed a cross-sectional self-report questionnaire, retrospectively addressing CA and EIPV in their childhood family environment and their own IPV experience as adults. Our findings show that among families in which any one of the three violent dyads took place, the involvement of both parents in the violent dyad is the prevalent one and raises the highest risk for cross-generational transmission of IPV in adulthood. Utilizing the Dyadic Type’s typology proved insightful in mapping the prevalence of CA, EIPV, and IPV in three ways: (a) it more accurately maps the prevalence of the different IPV dynamics than does the “dichotomous lens,” (b) it highlights the interactive violent dynamic as the prevalent one, and (c) it shows that exposure to aggression by both parents seems to be the strongest predictor of cross-generational transmission of IPV. Overall, the present study contributes to the developing understanding of interactions between retrospectively reported experiences of exposure to IPV and one’s own current behavior.

Authors: Kankaya Eda Ayten , Bilik Özlem
Published: January 2024

Background and Purpose:Mechanical valve surgery encompasses the management of complications related to antithrombotic therapy, as well as the complications arising from open-heart surgery. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of personalized counseling on the adherence to anticoagulant treatment, self-efficacy levels, and quality of life (QOL) among patients undergoing mechanical valve replacement surgery.Methods:This study followed an interventional design with both intervention (n= 30) and control (n= 30) groups. Patients in the intervention group received individualized nurse counseling prior to the surgery and for 3 months following the surgery. Patients in the control group received routine care. Data collection involved the utilization of the Sociodemographic and Clinical Characteristics Form, the Short Form Quality of Life Scale, the Barnason Efficacy Expectancy Scale, and the Anticoagulant Treatment Adherence Scale (ATAS).Results:After 3 months of surgery, patients who received counseling had statistically higher average scores in the Efficacy Expectancy Scale and the ATAS (p< .05). Additionally, providing continuous counseling to postoperative patients for 3 months elevated their self-efficacy levels and increased adherence to the recommended treatment. There were no between-group differences in the subdimensions of the QOL scale before and after discharge.Implications for Practice:It is recommended to provide personalized and individualized counseling covering the preoperative and postoperative processes for patients. Trainings should be repeated, and the contents should be differentiated by considering patient characteristics.
The Holocaust and the Paradox of Memory:Jane Yolen’s The Devil’s Arithmetic
Authors:   The Korean Society For Teaching English Literature, Shin Seunghan
Published: January 2024

This paper argues that in Jane Yolen’s The Devil’s Arithmetic, children’s imagination and memory become a means of subverting the “logic of war.” To do so, it first examines how Hannah travels back in time to experience her grandparents’ Holocaust firsthand and uses her imagination to resist the violent order of a concentration camp. Next, I analyze the work to demonstrate that she understands and embraces the paradox of “remembering the future” as a strategy for coping with the trauma of the Holocaust. The central thesis of this paper is that through the active act of remembering, children disrupt the “logic of war” of World War II and the Holocaust established by adults and reorganize the space of World War II into a subversive one.

Carphedon at the Crossroads: A Dangerous Drug or a Promising Psychopharmaceutical?
Authors: Patocka Jiri
Published: January 2024

Carphedon is a phenyl derivative of the nootropic drug piracetam (Nootropil) and is effective in increasing physical endurance and cold resistance and is used for amnesia treatment. It was developed in Russia as a stimulant to keep astronauts awake on long missions, and occasionally used in Russia as a nootropic prescription for various types of neurological disease. It became well known a couple years ago when a leading nootropic supplier in California started selling it on the Internet as a supplement and a bunch of athletes got kicked out of the Olympics for illegal using it. Carphedon was found to activate the operant behavior more powerfully, to remove psychodepressant effects of diazepam, to inhibit post-rotational nystagmus, and to prevent the development of retrograde amnesia. Unlike piracetam, carphedon exhibits a specific anticonvulsant action. When given in high doses, produces psychodepressant effects. It is also claimed to increase physical stamina and provide improved tolerance to cold. As a result, it appears on the lists of banned substances issued by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Alcohol-Induced Dose Dumping Studies in Gastro-Resistant Hard Gelatine Capsules Containing Immunosuppressant Drug
Authors: Altaş Ecem
Published: January 2024

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the risk of alcohol-induced dose dumping of gastro-resistant hard gelatin capsules containing immunosuppressant drug used to medicate relapsing types of multiple sclerosis (MS). Such studies are essential to evaluate the rate change of drug release from the dosage form, if the patient took alcoholic beverages in daily life. According to the EMA guideline on the pharmacokinetic and clinical evaluation of modified release dosage forms, every altered release dosage form has to be evaluated for the hazard from alcohol induced dose dumping and / or changes in dissolution profiles (EMA/CHMP/QWP, 2014). Concerning these requirements, no differentiation is made between prolonged / sustained release products which normally contain larger doses (often double or more) as conventional immediate release (IR) forms and enteric coated preparations which should behave like IR products after dissolution of the functional coating and, thus, do not contain larger doses. Consequently, “instantaneous” release of the entire dose should not generate a risk for the patient. Nonetheless, impact of ethanol on drug release should also be investigated with these products. Results obtained from such tests should be carefully interpreted with respect to their therapeutic relevance.
Simultaneous and Direct Estimation of Glymes in Pharmaceuticals and Biopharmaceuticals by Headspace Gas Chromatograph Coupled with Mass Spectrometer
Authors: Nagarajan Balaji
Published: January 2024

The analytical approach used for the effective trace-level determination of monoglyme and diglyme in pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals employs a simple sample preparation technique. This method involves headspace gas chromatograph coupled with mass spectrometer and is based on an oven scheduling approach which uses helium gas as the mobile phase; a complete sample analysis is conducted in less than 1h which does not include the injection time of standard replicates. The detection and quantitation limits of this advanced technique are 0.01 and 0.03μg/mL for both monoglyme and diglyme, respectively. The successful separation of monoglyme and diglyme was confirmed by determining their corresponding specific molecular masses and its fragments. This method is precise, sensitive, accurate, linear, and robust as determined by method validation performed according to the International Council on Harmonization validation guidelines Q2 (R1) and United States Pharmacopoeia. In this study, monoglyme and diglyme were not detected in the samples of pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals when using this technique. By headspace chromatograph coupled with mass spectrometer, monoglyme and diglyme can be easily estimated at trace levels during the commercial preparation of biologically and chemically active substances in both the biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical industries. The main benefit of this research work is to get the GC-FID and GCMS data simultaneously to determine monoglyme and diglyme at micro-level in Pharmaceuticals and Biopharmaceuticals.
Mycofabrication of Silver Nanoparticles from Aspergillus Niger and Determination of its Anti-Fungal Potency Against Candida Species

Besides many synthetic approaches being used for the preparation of nanoparticles, bio-based synthesis of nano particles using nano factories such as microorganisms is a novel environmentally friendly approach for producing nanoparticles of definite size and shape with distinctive physical and chemical properties. This method is not only ecofriendly but provides a clean and nontoxic way for the fabrication and assembly of metallic nano sized particles. Therefore, mycosynthesis of colloidal silver nanoparticle from Aspergillus niger was achieved using fungal filtrate incubated with aqueous silver nitrate for a specific period of time as monitored by Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. Optimization studies of physioculture parameters such as time of incubation, pH, biomass, and substrate concentration was achieved to determine optimum conditions. It was observed that the optimum conditions were found to be 55 hours of incubation time at pH 9.0 and 6 mM of silver nitrate concentration using fungal biomass of 25g for method I and for method II were found to be after 40hours of incubation time at pH 8.0 and silver nitrate concentration of 2mM using fungal biomass of 15g. Furthermore, silver nanoparticles were found to be an effective antifungal agent against Candida species. Thus, mycofabrication of silver nanoparticles is the most reliable, inexpensive, and ecofriendly method. However, in future, identification of different eukaryotic fungal strains for the production of Silver nanoparticles is required to make this process commercially practicable.
El bueno, el malo y el poder del perro: Jane Campion contra el western clásico

El género western maneja elementos reconocibles en su trama. Cuando la película “The power of the dog” (Campion, 2021) es definida como un western, nace la duda sobre la forma en que maneja estos elementos. La comparación con películas clásicas del género como “Red river” (Hawks y Rosson, 1948), “Johnny Guitar” (Ray, 1954) y “The searchers” (Ford, 1956) permite un análisis al respecto y una identificación del uso de estos recursos. Sin embargo, la forma en que los presenta es crítica y se explora desde otra perspectiva. Elementos como el héroe, la sociedad, el rol de la mujer y de la familia son, en cierta forma, replanteados en la cinta.
Expresión e identidad cinematográfica: Licorice Pizza en la trayectoria de Paul Thomas Anderson

Published: January 2024

El cine de autor destaca en un mundo lleno de películas formulistas y otorgan algo diferenteal espectador en las salas de cine. Con “Licorice Pizza” (Anderson, 2021), película nominada al Oscar 2022, Paul Thomas Anderson se reivindica como uno de los mejores directores de las primeras décadas del siglo XXI. A pesar de varias producciones de naturaleza íntima, vale la pena preguntarse qué lugar ocupa este nuevo film en el universo cinematográfico del director norteamericano.

Pyometra adalah penyakit yang menyerang sistem reproduksi hewan betina yang dapat menyebabkan infeksi dan akumulasi nanah (pus) pada dinding uterus. Pada hewan kesayangan ada dua jenis pyometra, yaitu pyometra serviks tertutup dan pyometra serviks terbuka. Seekor kucing lokal betina, berusia delapan bulan, dengan bobot badan 4,07 kg, berwana hitam dan putih, datang ke rumah sakit hewan dengan keluhan perut sedikit membesar dan disertai keluar leleran nanah berwarna putih krem sejak sebulan yang lalu. Pemeriksaan darah lengkap, USG dan X-ray dilakukan untuk menegakkan diagnosis. Hasil pemeriksaan darah lengkap menunjukkan penurunan sel darah merah, hemoglobin, hematokrit dan platelet. Hasil pemeriksaan USG ditemukan pembesaran pada uterus dengan gambaran hypoechoic menandakan adanya penumpukan cairan. Pada pemeriksaan X-ray terlihat pembesaran uterus dengan struktur tubular besar pada caudoventral. Dari hasil pemeriksaan USG dan X-ray, kucing didiagnosis mengalami pyometra dengan serviks terbuka dengan prognosis fausta. Penanganan dilakukan dengan ovariohisterektomi (OH) yaitu pengangkatan organ uterus dan ovarium. Pascaoperasi kucing diberikan antibiotik cefotaxime 25 mg/kg BB dengan dosis pemberian 1 mL (dua kali sehari) selama tiga hari intravena, dilanjutkan dengan pemberian cefixime 5 mg/kg BB dengan dosis pemberian 1 mL (dua kali sehari) selama lima hari peroral. Kucing juga diberikan analgesik tolfedin 4 mg/kg BB dengan dosis pemberian 0,4 mL (sekali sehari) selama tiga hari subkutan. Kucing menunjukkan kesembuhan total yang ditandai dengan nafsu makan yang normal, luka operasi yang telah mengering, serta luka jahitan sudah dilepas pada hari ke-16 pascaoperasi.

Hepatitis merupakan penyakit umum pada anjing yang menyebabkan hilangnya fungsi dan seiring waktu terjadi hilangnya jaringan hati akibat nekrosis dan sirosis. Hepatitis dapat disebabkan karena adanya infeksi virus seperti Canine adenovirus tipe-1 (CAV-1), infeksi parasit seperti Capillaria hepatica, infeksi bakteri seperti leptospirosis, infeksi mikotik yang umum terjadi seperti kandidiasis, histoplasmosis, dan aspergillosis, toksin, dan obat-obatan seperti antikonvlusan atau obat antijamur. Kajian pustaka ini menyajikan 15 laporan kasus hepatitis pada anjing yang ditandai dengan gejala klinis secara umum yaitu penurunan nafsu makan, anoreksia, penurunan bobot badan, muntah, dan diare. Penurunan fungsi pada hati menyebabkan kekuningan/jaundice dan ascites. Pemeriksaan penunjang yang umum digunakan dalam menegakkan diagnosis meliputi pemeriksaan darah, biokimia darah, ultrasonografi (USG), radiografi, dan biopsi. Terapi dalam kasus ini umumnya dilakukan terapi kausatif jika penyebabnya diidentifikasi seperti pemberian antibiotik, terapi simptomatik dengan obat golongan steroid, dan terapi suportif melalui pemberian cairan infus. Prognosis dari hepatitis mulai dari baik hingga buruk dapat terjadi tergantung pada faktor penyebab dan keparahan dari penyakit. Metode yang digunakan pada penulisan artikel ini adalah kajian literatur, dengan sumber yang dapat berasal dari buku, jurnal, dan artikel yang terkait dengan topik hepatitis pada anjing. Hasil kajian literatur mengenai pengobatan untuk hepatitis akut dapat diberikan terapi suportif untuk pemulihan, sedangkan hepatitis kronis idiopatik masih dalam peninjauan. Berbagai macam terapi pengobatan dilakukan dalam pengobatan hepatitis dan didapatkan hasil yang baik dan juga terdapat kematian pada beberapa hewan kasus karena kondisi hewan yang sudah memburuk.
