Traumatic hip dislocations are orthopedic injuries commonly seen in the routine of the surgical clinic in pets such as dogs and cats. The aim of this study is to report a clinical case of the ilio-femoral suture technique with polyglecaprone thread to stabilize traumatic coxofemoral luxation in dogs. A mixed breed dog, three years old, with a body weight of 8.90 kg, was taken to the Veterinary Hospital of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics, presenting as a main complaint, a pedestrian hit over ten days ago and since then without support of the left pelvic limb. During the initial evaluation, it was found that the animal had functional impotence of the aforementioned limb. As a complementary examination, a ventro-dorsal and latero-lateral radiography of the pelvis region was requested. After diagnosing the hip dislocation with cranio-dorsal displacement of the femur, surgical treatment was instituted using the iliofemoral suture technique. The use of the ilio-femoral suture technique with absorbable suture was efficient in the treatment of craniodorsal hip dislocation in the patient in the present report, with return of limb functionality and regression of clinical signs.

Dirofilariose ectópica em paciente canino assintomático: Relato de caso
Authors: Filho Mário
Published: July 2021

Heartworm disease is a parasitic disease resulting from the infection caused by the nematode Dirofilaria immitis, transmitted through the inoculation of third stage larval forms, after stinging culicidae vectors. It is common in dogs and less frequent in cats, but it also affects other hosts, such as wild carnivores and humans. Its distribution is important worldwide. In Brazil, canine heartworm disease is endemic and it is estimated that the national prevalence is around 23.1%, with its transmission occurring mainly in coastal cities and in hot climates, where there is a greater probability of the development of the vectors. The severity of the disease may be due to the chronicity of this infection and the number of parasites in the vascular lumen, resulting in lesions at the endothelial level and thrombus formations. When the animal is already in a more advanced stage of the disease, it can present vena cava syndrome, which is commonly fatal due to the accumulation of adult parasites that move from the pulmonary arteries and invade the right ventricle and atrium, which can reach the mouth of the vena cava, evolving in this way, to a process of congestion of the venous system. In cases of major infestations and in cases where the animal has intolerance to physical exercise, activity should not be forced, as this can stimulate the translocation of the parasites, leading to an embolic obstructive process. Cases of erratic cycles are rarely reported, and when they occur, they affect animals with a high rate of infestation. The present study aims to report a clinical case of an asymptomatic patient, with an erratic manifestation of the disease, perceived in the abdominal cavity after undergoing an ovariohysterectomy surgical procedure. Some tests were carried out, after detecting the adult worm in the surgical procedure, to assess the stage of the disease. However, they did not show significant changes. A treatment protocol was started, using doxycycline as a basis for the control of the symbiotic bacteria for the nematode, Wolbachia spp. associated with macrocyclic lactone (moxidectin), as a way of controlling microfilaremia. The patient remains under observation, with no clinical signs.

Published: July 2021

Companion animals are increasingly present in Brazilian homes, have taken on an important role in the intrafamily relationship, and generate greater interest of tutors on their health. However, there is little data available on the degree of tutors' knowledge about animal health and welfare of dogs and cats concerning relevant diseases, such as Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), a silent disease in the early stages that is difficult to control and often diagnosed only in advanced stages. This work aimed to evaluate the knowledge of residents of Manaus, Amazonas on CKD in dogs and cats and provide an overview of the habits and routine care provided to these animals. To do so, we interviewed 268 people through an online questionnaire using the Google Forms platform. The results revealed that most of the population is unaware of CKD in animals, and few people take the pet regularly to the veterinarian. Most participants seek veterinary care only in case of disease or animal vaccination. An alarming finding is that many respondents reported never taking their pet for a visit to the veterinarian. The results demonstrate the importance and need for disease orientation and prevention activities in dogs and cats to keep tutors well informed and improve these animals' quality of life.

Canis lupus familiaris and Cerdocyon thous are mammals of the Canidae family. However, when it comes to environmental preservation, the wild canid stands out for its role as a recruiter of native and cultivated plants. The present study aims to describe, in a comparative way, the skeleton of C. thous, taking into account the lack of information about the osteology of this animal, in addition to the importance of such knowledge to institute, when necessary, clinical and surgical treatment. Skulls of wild dogs were submitted to the process of maceration, cleaning and clarification. At the end of these steps, a comparative morphological and morphometric analysis was performed between the prepared parts and the skulls of domestic dogs from the Animal Anatomy Sector of the State University of the North Fluminense Darcy Ribeiro. During the execution, a series of findings were found in the wild canid that diverged from the domestic one. In addition to the measurement of 18 linear measurements and the calculation of craniometric indices. Although there is no morphological classification for the bush dog, the cephalic index and the other indexes evaluated in this experiment demonstrated similarities between it and domestic dogs classified as mesaticephalic. In the analysis of the cranial foramina, it was possible to measure the distances between these anatomical details and the palpable points that are used as guidance in anesthetic blocks. Through this methodology we identified which parameters used for domestic dogs can be transcended for the wild canid and, from then on, be useful for the area of veterinary anesthesiology.

Authors: Gonçalves Silva Elisa
Published: July 2021

Leptospirosis is presumed to be the most common bacterial zoonosis. Its perpetuation is assured by environmental conditions favorable to survival of leptospires, great variety of serovars and potential hosts. Illness onset depends on the innate or adaptive immunity and physiological status of the host, as well as causative agent and environmental conditions. In goats, the clinical presentations are either subclinical, acute or chronic depending on serovars involved and duration of disease. Each clinical presentation of goat leptospirosis involves specific clinical aspects and pathogenesis of a large portion of the clinical signs is unknown, not well elucidated or based on analogy. Reproductive dysfunctions, decreased milk production, reduced growth rate and inadequate handling act as limiting factors to production, resulting in economic losses.

Teacher Opinions and Perspectives of Visual Culture Theory and Material Culture Studies in Art Education
Authors: Basak Rasim
Published: July 2021

Teacher opinions and discussions about Visual Culture Theory and Material Culture in art education are examined in this paper. Both approaches were compared and evaluated within their contents and fundamentals. Visual Culture Art Education (VCAE) in art education, specifically, has been criticized as having a Neo-Marxist or Cultural Marxist agenda stemming from Critical Theory, nonetheless, it is also viewed as being just another recent Postmodernist approach. Being a controversial theoretical account, VCAE seems widely unknown and not understood in its conceptual frame among art teachers in Turkey. Its name also may have caused confusion. In this study, art teacher opinions of VCAE content, principles, applications and practices were collected through a survey questionnaire; and examined. Participants were 71 art teachers. A purposeful, convenient, random sampling method was employed to represent a population of art teachers from various backgrounds, with various experience levels, with educational experience from various universities, working at various geographical regions and towns in Turkey. The study was designed and structured as descriptive survey research. Analyses revealed that art teachers usually are not aware of the typical discussions about VCAE. Having been criticized as an ideologically rooted theory, the applicability of VCAE in Turkey seems controversial in many aspects.

The classic Economic Dispatch (ED) problem considers only the cost of power generation by thermal generators, often disregarding the safety parameters of the electrical network, environmental costs and especially the importance of predictive maintenance of the generators, when considering environmental costs in the optimization of ED this becomes a multi-objective problem Environmental Economic Dispatch (EED). Considering the global pressure to reduce emissions of pollutants in the atmosphere and environmental sustainability, incorporating the generation of Renewable Energies (RE) or Green Energy in the electricity grid is indispensable. Solar energy is becoming an important part of the power generation portfolio in many regions due to the fast decline in its costs and political incentives that favor the generation of clean energy sources. This article uses the Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) method to solve the problem and EED restricted to the grid in a hybrid system (thermoelectric and photovoltaic). The results of the optimization problem were simulated in MATLAB. This research included 01 thermoelectric with 06 generators and 13 solar plants.

The theatrical performance has always been a continual concern during all the history of humanity, because it performs an art where people have certain stories that arouse many feelings and insights to the spectators. It highlights the fact that the theatrical performance has special importance for philosophical reflection, especially in the characteristic illustration of the philosophy of the eighteenth century. In this context, several thinkers participated intensely of the political reality of this time, using the theatrical practice on several occasions, both for the contribution to the intellectual framework and to portray the daily life of the rising class, namely the bourgeoisie. Among these thinkers, this paper will highlight the Voltaire conceptions of representation of the aristocratic theater, establishing it as a powerful means of education; Diderot about the genesis of the drama, where art had the function of refining and instructing individuals, representing the aspirations of the bourgeoisie. Since the conception of Jean-Jacques Rousseau about the theater, unlike the two mentioned thinkers, says the educational role of the theater is illusory, as the theatrical representation only reflects the passions of their audience. Thus, it is emphasized that the Genevan thinker followed a contrary understanding to the thinkers of the period.

Authors: Garcia Roberta Veloso , Santos Juliana Marques Cianni dos , Romão Estaner Claro
Published: July 2021

The insertion of the individual in the scientific culture goes through scientific literacy and this, through teaching that privileges research and argumentation in the school scenario, mainly in Science classes. Based on indicators found in the literature that point to scientific literacy and models proposed by Lawson to define the structure of the argument, a table was elaborated to relate the argumentation of children in the second year of elementary school, leveling it in five levels that point to the logical reasoning and the dominion of content, taking into account Wittgenstein's linguistic games. To analyze what level the children were at, a didactic sequence was elaborated that allowed the observation and study of the arguments used by them. Considering such activities and the children's age group, it was observed that they tend not to complete the argumentative sequence, but they already have strong traces of scientific literacy.

The residues generated by the ceramic factories, among the most varied types, represent a large part of the waste produced and the one that comes from the production of red ceramics such as tiles and bricks, reflects in great part of all the constituents of these residues. The use of tailings is becoming an increasingly common practice, often because it does not have a correct final destination and in some places, there is a shortage of natural materials. The present work aims to study the addition of residues of ceramic tiles dust in the characteristics and properties of ecological brick. A literature review on the topic was carried out, in addition to granulometric characterizations, absorption tests, thermal comfort and simple compression. After carrying out the tests, the possibility of using it as a component of the ecological brick and using it in the region of Teresina-PI was studied. The samples produced with tile powder residue showed excellent results, therefore, through this study it was possible to prove that the reuse of these residues is valid for use in civil construction.

The present work aims to analyze the development of projects with resources from CT-Petro; since its creation. This Sectorial Fund envisioned the technological development of the Oil and Natural Gas production chain in the North, Northeast and Midwest regions. This study sought to survey the actions of the projects developed and whether patents were somehow created with the financial resources released through FINEP for the realization of CT-Petro. The unfolding of the activities was carried out with the application of questionnaires to public institutions registered in the Electronic System of the Citizen Information Service – e-Sic-CGU. From the tabulation of the information collected from the sample, the direction given was to compare with the information from the patent application filing database, of the National Institute of Industrial Property - INPI, in order to identify the percentage values of filing applications of these three regions and how the Sectoral Fund has impacted the development of patents and their respective application for protection. The survey carried out showed that even after the implementation of CT-Petro there was little change in the national scenario of IP productivity, aimed at the Oil and Natural Gas production chain, in Brazilian territory. This research is qualitative and quantitative, with the application of a semi-open questionnaire and data collection on INPI database websites, technological innovation agency websites, technological innovation centers, scientific journals, dissertations, theses and access platform information from the Brazilian Federal Government.

Pharmacokinetic modeling helps to estimate the ADME parameters of all the natural and synthetic drug substances in humans and animals. There are two types of approaches for predicting the kinetic processes inside the body i.e., model approach and model independent approach. Model approach is further divided into compartmental and physiological models and model independent approach consists of non-compartmental models. Compartmental modeling is the most widely used approach. It visually shows the rate processes of drug deposition and also predict the drug concentration time graph. Compartmental model consists of catenary and mammillary models. Mammillary models can either be one compartment, multi compartment or two compartments. The physiologically based pharmacokinetic models consists of compartments that correlates with various body tissues, connected by blood circulatory system. Another name for non- compartmental analysis is model-independent approach that means it does not require any compartment model.

Mathematical model a numerical classification of the biological framework and utilized to state quantitative connections. A pharmacokinetic compartment is a numerical idea that portrays a space in the body that medication seems to possess These models just mediate the test information and permit an experimental equation for the assessment of medication focus with time. A non- compartmental model is a pharmacokinetic model that does not involve the consequence of a definite compartment model is called a Non-compartment model. This approach is based on the consequence that the drugs or substances created in a metabolic process follow direct kinetics, which is the basis that this approach can be functional to any compartment model. The non- compartmental analysis gives an elective strategy to portraying drug pharmacokinetics without appointing a specific compartmental model to the medication.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) belong to the fullerene family, also known as graphene. These graphenes are similar to the graphite sheets and when these are turn up in the cylindrical form they are known as carbon nanotubes. Currently, the most common methods used for CNTs preparation are: Electric-arc-discharge methods, Chemical-vapor-deposition method and Laserablation method. In order to cross the cell membrane, functionalization of the pristine CNTs is performed. Because of the sp2 hybridization and closely packed hexagons in their structure, functionalization of the pristine CNTs can be done easily with either therapeutic agent or the imaging agent. They have wide applications in the field of bio-imaging because of their intrinsic optical, mechanical and electrical properties. They can be used as efficient contrast agents and the biosensors as well as efficient carriers for the delivery of therapeutic or imaging agents.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a centuries old disease which is quite prevalent throughout the world caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This disease kills more people every year than other infectious diseases despite the existence of an effective treatment. This treatment has been available since 1940, which means its existence spans over more than fifty years now. The development of antimicrobial resistance is one of the challenges facing the struggle to stem the tide of this lethal outbreak. The wider range of this disease is linked to few functional factors which include lack of public awareness, patient monitoring and follow-up. The prevalence of great progress and advancement in medical technology and research calls for greater efforts. This review article considers trends prevailing all around the globe in the ailments from a comprehensive perspective.

Published: July 2021

Leishmaniasis is an emerging tropical disease in the world as declared by WHO. At least 89 countries are affected, risking lives of 350 million people resulting in 70,000 deaths annually. It is spread to human beings and animals by bite of sandflies of genera Phlebotomus and Lutzomyia. The disease is more prevalent in the poverty-stricken populations. In Pakistan, the most affected province is KPK. Despite its global occurrence, it is not a very life-threatening disease except visceral leishmaniasis in which death can occur in immunocompromised patients. The only satisfactory treatment is through intravenous antimonials. Vaccine is not yet available but environmental control of sandfly can help in prevention of leishmaniasis. There is a dire need of improving the existing conventional therapy but the neglection of the disease has led to lack of financial support for the development of a novel drug.
