This study aimed to classify the clinical profile of dogs affected by leishmaniasis at the Veterinary Hospital of Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (HVU-UFSM). The clinical histories of the animals seen at the hospital from January 2017 to July 2019 were reviewed, using the patients’ medical records. During this period, 250 animals were suspected to have leishmaniasis and 61 (24,4%) of the animals tested positive. The clinical profiles were classified according to breed, gender, age, and vaccination status, then further separated according to the clinical signs the presence of concomitant diseases, and bodily systems involved: digestive, neuromuscular, multisystemic, hematopoietic, respiratory, lymphatic, ophthalmic, urinary and cutaneous. This study revealed that leishmaniasis most affects animals of mixed breed, particularly two to five years old males. The disease most often occurs in the cutaneous system, followed by multisystem presentation.

Canine Leproid Granuloma is a disease caused by a mycobacterium that causes nodular lesions, which can affect the dermis and/or subcutaneous tissue, usually being firm on palpation, painless, and can be alopecic and ulcerated. Its pathogenesis is still uncertain, and may have a self-limiting character. The most predisposed breed is the Boxer, and usually affects animals with short coats, affecting areas such as the pinna, face and chest members. The diagnosis is made through the history, racial pattern and characteristic of the lesions, but complementary exams, such as cytology, histopathology or even the PCR are necessary to confirm the disease. Surgical treatment is based on surgical excision and the clinical on antibiotic therapy, which is the most used treatment. This can be administered systemically and/or topically, which prioritizes the use of drugs such as doxycycline, rifampicin, enrofloxacin, among others, and is usually a long treatment, ranging from two to 12 months. The present study aims to report four cases of Canine Leproid Granuloma, attended at the Veterinary School Clinic Prof. Dr. Marcos Vinicius Tranquilimof the Midwest State University, Guarapuava-PR, between 2019 and 2020, one Boxer, one Pitbull and two mixed breed animals, all presenting nodules/ulcerative lesions in the ear. Three of these animals performed cytology as a diagnostic method, and one of them, histopathology. All received treatment with Enrofloxacin 10 mg/kg, once a day, associated with the use of rifamycin or rifocina spray, twice a day. Two animals had a good response and completed the treatment with approximately 40 days, one did not complete the treated and one had to undergo surgical excision of the nodules, for not responding to clinical treatment.

Genset merupakan sumber daya listrik cadangan untuk menggantikan aliran listrik pada saat PLN padam, suplai daya listrik dari genset sangat dibutuhkan untuk menggantikan sementara suplai daya listrik dari PLN. Pemakaian satu genset dengan kapasitas daya yang besar dapat diganti dengan beberapa genset dengan kapasitas daya yang lebih kecil, dengan melalui proses sinkron genset yaitu menggabungkan beberapa buah genset menjadi satu sistem untuk mendapatkan total daya dari genset-genset tersebut.Pada industri atau gedung yang membutuhkan suplai daya dalam jumlah yang besar, biasanya mereka memakai tidak hanya satu genset dengan daya yang besar, tetapi mereka memakai beberapa genset dengan kapasitas daya yang lebih kecil. Ini dikarenakan apabila beban yang dipakai kecil, tidak semua genset jalan sehingga bisa mengefisiensi bahan bakar. Selain itu yang lebih penting adalah perawatannya bisa dilakukan secara bergantian dan tidak terlalu khawatir tiba-tiba PLN padam.Konsumsi bahan bakar solar pada saat waktu beban puncak selama 4 (empat) jam dengan beban fluktuatif dihotel Novotel Banjarbaru dengan menggunakan sistem sinkronisasi genset sebesar 525.5 liter Kata Kunci : Sinkron, Generator, Syarat Sinkron, effisien, Daya

VULVOVAGINAL CANDIDOSIS IN WOMEN AND GIRLS OF PUBLIC AGE. LITERATURE REVIEW.
Authors: Trupakova А. , Kazakova А. , Lineva O. , Mishina A.
Published: May 2021

Introduction. The article presents data on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis in women and adolescent girls. The history of the study of fungi of the genus Candida began since the time of Hippocrates, however, the direct defeat of the lower genital area by this fungus was first described in their doctoral works by Frank (1830) and Hirschfeld (1859). As the term "candidiasis" was adopted by the All-Russian Society of Dermatologists in 1957, the first to study the microstructure of the Candida fungus and the effect of antimycotic drugs on it was the famous Russian scientist IM Romanenko [1]. According to many authors, vulvovaginal candidiasis occupies one of the leading places in the structure of gynecological morbidity. This pathology occurs in more than 25% of all cases of vulvovaginitis in adolescent girls and 35% in women [2,3]. F.Blostina and co-authors believe that a feature of vulvovaginal candidiasis is the prevalence and high risk of recurrence, 4 out of 10 women experience this pathology in their lives, while the purity of recurrence within one year reaches 23% [4]. Prilepskaya V.N. in his works notes that inflammatory diseases of the lower genital tract significantly increase the risk of developing urogenital infections, and as a consequence can cause infertility and premature birth [5,6]. Unfortunately, despite the high interest of researchers in this pathology, many authors believe that the true incidence of vulvovaginal candidiasis is not known, due to the high percentage of self-medication of women, which significantly worsens and complicates the consequences of this disease.

Agronomic information on the cultivation of Jatropha plants (Jatropha curcas L.) in the field is still uncommon in the literature, especially under conditions of water and nutritional stress. Thus, this field study aimed to evaluate the effects of irrigation depths (735; 963; 1,191; 1,418 and 1,646 mm) and nitrogen fertilization (0; 25; 50 and 75 kg ha-1) on the characteristics of seeds of Jatropha. Nitrogen fertilization did not influence the production components of Jatropha. The seeds have an elongated aspect, where the length is always greater than the width and thickness. The highest values of seed thickness obtained in plants under the lowest irrigation depth. Plants under the highest irrigation depth showed the highest values of seed length, total number of seeds per plant and productivity of seeds.

Authors: José Pereira de Lima Ederaldo , Bastos da Cruz Poliano , Lopo Martinez Antonio
Published: May 2021

This research aimed to analyze whether companies that present greater tax aggressiveness have different levels of persistence of earnings components. We measured tax aggressiveness by two proxies: i) book-tax differences and ii) effective tax rates. The study period was between 2010 and 2016, involving Brazilian companies listed on B3. The Effective Tax Rate metric classified the most tax aggressive companies. The results showed that companies, when segregated by levels of tax aggressiveness, present differentiated earnings persistence in its components. It is noted that, in most tax-aggressive companies, tax profit becomes a determining factor for book income in the future period. This work contributes to the accounting literature by identifying the impact of taxation on the earnings quality, particularly in the earnings persistence, a fundamental requirement for greater managerial and tax predictability and a greater direction of value for companies.

Background: The plasma fraction GRF6019 shows multiple benefits on brain aging in mice, including enhanced cognition, neurogenesis, and synaptic density, as well as reduced neuroinflammation. Objective: To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of GRF6019 in patients with severe Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods: A phase II, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with severe AD (Mini-Mental State Examination score 0–10). Patients were randomized 2 : 1 to GRF6019 (N = 18) or placebo (N = 8) and received daily 250 mL intravenous infusions over 5 days. The primary endpoints were the rates of adverse events (AEs) and the tolerability of GRF6019 as assessed by the number of patients completing the study. Change from baseline in cognitive and functional assessments was also evaluated. Results: All patients completed 100%of study visits and infusions. The rate of AEs was similar in the GRF6019 (8/18 patients [44.4%]) and placebo (3/8 patients [37.5%]) groups, and there were no deaths or serious AEs. The most common AEs considered related to treatment were mild, transient changes in blood pressure in the GRF6019 group (hypotension: 2 patients [11.1%]; hypertension: 1 patient [5.6%]); there were no related AEs in the placebo group. The trial was not powered to detect statistically significant differences between treatment groups. At the end of the study, patients in both treatment groups remained stable or improved on all cognitive and functional endpoints. Conclusion: GRF6019 demonstrated excellent safety, feasibility, and tolerability. Future trials designed to characterize the potential functional benefits of GRF6019 and related plasma fractions in severe AD are warranted.

Published: May 2021

Background: Maintaining cognitive function is integral to a healthy social life in the aged. Although neuropsychological tests and brain imaging methods can assess cognitive dysfunction, these techniques are subjective, psychologically burdensome, and cannot be conducted easily. Objective: We sought to develop an objective, low-burden novel cognitive function scale based on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) of hemodynamic changes in the cerebral cortex during daily task performance. Methods: A total of 63 participants (aged 60–80 years) identified as non-dementia controls (NDC) or with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were recruited and randomly assigned to training and test data sets. Explanatory variables were hemodynamic responses during low-burden sensory and simple tasks without higher-order brain functioning. Results: A logistic regression analysis of the fNIRS index in NDCs and MCI patients revealed area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, and holdout results of 0.98, 94%, 88%, and 62% respectively. Correlation between fNIRS index and MCI odds showed positive linearity (R2 = 0.96). Conclusion: Positive correlation between the fNIRS index and MCI odds indicated effectiveness of this fNIRS measurement. Although additional experiments are necessary, the fNIRS index representing degree of cognitive decline can be an onsite monitoring tool to assess cognitive status.
Economic development quality evaluation of underdeveloped regions based on principal component analysis and grey correlation analysis: Empirical evidence from guizhou of China
Authors: Hong Zhang , Yuchao Li , Haoyi Xia , Fang Su
Published: May 2021

Underdeveloped regions widely exist in China, a developing country with unbalanced economic development, which makes high-quality development indispensable for these regions. Therefore, the accurate measurement of economic development of these regions and the identification of factors affecting high-quality economic development are crucial. Guizhou in China has developed a distinctive high-quality development approach under the guidance of new development concepts. This study utilizes principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce the dimensionality of the indicators to avoid impacts of subjective weighting on empirical results so as to comprehensively and objectively reflect original information of the indicators. After the non-dimensionalization, a quality evaluation model was established including 6 primary indicators (i.e. quality of economic performance, investment quality, quality of driving forces, industrial quality, service quality and environmental quality) and 27 basic indicators, which completely measures economic development quality of Guizhou. Furthermore, the grey correlation analysis (GCA) model was applied to verify the feasibility of aforesaid evaluation model. The results indicate that: (1) The quality of driving forces and service quality are important indicators measuring the improvement of economic development quality; (2) PCA model can objectively measure economic development quality of underdeveloped regions; (3) Economic development quality of underdeveloped regions is generally increasing despite fluctuations; (4) Basic indicators are significantly correlated with economic development quality indexes in general. PCA and GCA model can be combined to objectively and comprehensively reflect original information of the indicators and completely measure economic development quality of underdeveloped regions. This approach compensates the shortcomings of subjective evaluation methods and may provide insights on new research methods and ideas concerning said research topic.

Published: May 2021

The safety of pressure pipelines has become an important part of national public safety because of their special professional technology and potentially high risk. To identify the key influencing factors of individual risk of pressure pipeline more effectively and explain the interaction mechanism of each factor clearly, using the factor analysis method and catastrophe progression method, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation mathematical model of the individual risk of the pressure pipeline was established, Meanwhile, the risk factors of the risk subject and the risk receptor were identified respectively based on the PSR model and the vulnerability model, and the acceptance criterion of the individual risk of the pressure pipeline was studied. In addition, the 185 km Jinjing pipeline of China Aviation Oil Group was selected as a case study to obtain the comprehensive evaluation results of the risk subject, object, and individual risk of Jinjing pipeline. Finally, the acceptance criteria and control measures were given. Results show that the individual risk fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model of the pressure pipeline is reasonable and applicable, and the acceptance criteria of the individual risk of the pressure pipeline are formulated. The conclusion provides a method for the government regulators to implement the risk-based supervision of the pressure pipeline.
Bringing Advanced Therapies for Parkinson’s Disease to the Clinic: The Patient’s Perspective
Authors: Mathur Soania , Stamford Jon
Published: May 2021

There is an urgent unmet need in the Parkinson’s disease community—advanced therapies to modify the inevitable decline that occurs in those affected by this progressive neurodegenerative disease for which there is no cure. This will require collaboration from all stakeholders and central to those partnerships are patients themselves. But participation in clinical trials and clinical use of advanced therapies have their own risk profile above and beyond standard therapeutics as evidenced by past invasive procedures. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that clear, evidence-based information about these potential treatments be clearly communicated by those exploring their use to ensure safe and informed participation from the patient community. Likewise, patients must weigh the benefits of these treatments their limitations and risks in order to truly give informed consent to participate in bringing these treatments to the clinic. Here we explore these issues from the patient perspective.

BACKGROUND: Improving walking capacity is a key objective of post-stroke rehabilitation. Evidence describing the quality and protocols of standardized tools for assessing walking capacity can facilitate their implementation. OBJECTIVE: To synthesize existing literature describing test protocols and measurement properties of distance-limited walk tests in people post-stroke. METHODS: Electronic database searches were completed in 2017. Records were screened and appraised for quality. RESULTS: Data were extracted from 43 eligible articles. Among the 12 walk tests identified, the 10-metre walk test (10mWT) at a comfortable pace was most commonly evaluated. Sixty-three unique protocols at comfortable and fast paces were identified. Walking pace and walkway surface, but not walkway length, influenced walking speed. Intraclass correlation coefficients for test-retest reliability ranged from 0.80–0.99 across walk tests. Measurement error values ranged from 0.04–0.40 and 0.06 to 0.20 for the 10mWT at comfortable and fast and paces, respectively. Across walk tests, performance was most frequently correlated with measures of strength, balance, and physical activity (r = 0.26-0.8, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The 10mWT has the most evidence of reliability and validity. Findings indicate that studies that include people with severe walking deficits, in acute and subacute phases of recovery, with improved quality of reporting, are needed.

The use of traffic signals is the common practice in every cities having heavy traffic volume that is on clogged intersection. The signal phases are different at various intersections. The cycle time also differs as per traffic density at each intersection. Out somewhere it happens that there is green signal & no vehicle on the route and despite that somewhere there is long queue although there is red signal. The proposed system first targets scattering any queue that was developed during red span and reduction in travel time. This study leads to the change in phases and redesign of present signal system, which not only gives a reduction in the queue length but also reduces travel time and decrease in fuel consumption. This change will positively results in improving traffic efficiency.

Secondary school students' attitudes towards the inclusion of students with developmental disabilities in the regular education system
Authors: Vinković Dajana , Hodonj Andrej
Published: May 2021

Peer acceptance is a necessary aspect of the inclusion of students with developmental disabilities in the system of inclusive education, primarily in terms of secondary education. Therefore, this paper examines the attitudes of 496 students of the first, second, third and fourth grade of grammar and vocational schools (three-year and four-year) in the Osijek- Baranja County towards students with developmental disabilities. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that high school students are indecisive, with a slight tendency of increasing positive attitude towards the inclusion of students with disabilities in the regular education system. Female participants and older participants (17 - 19 years old) express more positive attitudes towards the inclusion of students with disabilities in the regular education system. Differences with respect to the type of school students

attend have not been confirmed. Correlation analysis shows a moderately positive correlation between the attitudes of high school students towards the inclusion of students with developmental disabilities in the regular education system and inclusive school culture. This is an important pedagogical implication, because it emphasizes the importance of socialization and inclusion.
Early stages of somatic embryo genesis in plumule explants of Philippine Makapuno hybrid VMAC5
Authors: Juanillo Kenn Erika , Nuñez Tessie
Published: May 2021

Early bearing, self-pollinating and medium-to-big-seeded Philippine makapuno hybrid VMAC5 is propagated through in vitro embryo culture. This yields one plantlet per embryo in at least six months. To evaluate the potential of mass producing planting materials in vitro, a protocol developed by the Philippine Coconut Authority was used to initiate somatic embryogenesis in whole and cut plumule explants from VMAC5 nuts. Calloid initiation was obtained 8 to 12 days from initial culture in semi-solid medium under dark incubation at 8% in cut and 5% in whole plumules. White translucent structures characteristic of embryogenic calloids formed on the cut plumules one month after initial culture. At 60 days old, distinct ear-shaped pre-embryogenic structures and white shiny globular pre-somatic embryos developed in whole explants. Hard, friable, and whitish to yellowish calloids with pre-embryogenic masses were also observed in cut plumule explants. At 90 days after the initial culture, more distinct pre-somatic and globular somatic embryos developed in both explants.

The experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of rhizobium inoculum and phosphorus fertilization on nodulation, growth, and yield of soyabean cv. Binasoybean-2 at the area of Chamberkella, East Subarnachar Upazila, Noakhali, Bangladesh, from mid-January to first week of May 2018. Four levels of Rhizobium inoculation viz: 0, 25, 50 and 75 g kg-1 and four levels of phosphorus viz: 0, 18, 36 and 54 kg P ha-1 were applied. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The effect of interaction of different combinations of Rhizobium inoculation and phosphorus rates showed regular trend, although their effects on some of studied growth, and yield parameters were insignificant but most of the growth and yield parameters were significant. Among sixteen treatment combinations the highest grain yield (2.217 t ha-1) was obtained from the treatment combination of 50 g kg-1 Rhizobium inoculation and 36 kg ha-1 phosphorus which was statistically identical with 50 g kg-1 Rhizobium inoculation with 18 kg ha-1, the lowest yield (1.367 t ha-1) was recorded with control treatment.
