Esta pesquisa teve por finalidade propor medidas que pudessem ser tomadas para amenizar a questão das zoonoses ocasionadas por cães abandonados nas ruas do Bairro Faxinal – Mafra, SC. Caracterizou-se com pesquisa bibliográfica, pesquisa de campo e pesquisa ação. Foi efetuada pesquisa de campo, com verificação “in loco”, para constatar a existência de cães abandonados nas ruas do bairro pesquisado. Estes cães foram registrados fotograficamente através de fichas de observação com dados relacionados a data, horário, local e condições nas quais estes se encontravam. Os roteiros de entrevista foram aplicados às Agentes Comunitárias de Saúde da comunidade, a uma coordenadora de Abrigo de Cães e um veterinário, com questões relacionadas à temática. Foram aplicados questionários para 10% da comunidade do bairro. Constatou-se que 81% dos entrevistados possuem cães e destes, 26% permitem que estes transitem entre a rua e a residência, o que esclarece que nem todos os cães nas ruas do bairro estão de fato abandonados. Constatou-se que 44% da amostragem não conhecem as zoonoses e um terço da população entrevistada já contraiu alguma zoonose, sendo as mais comuns bicho-de-pé e dermatoses. Em relação à mordidas por cães de rua, 36% da amostragem afirmou já ter sido mordido por cães que estavam na rua, sendo que alguns inclusive possuíam proprietário. Indagados à respeito da responsabilidade por estes animais, 90% afirmou creditá-la à população e apenas 4% relatou que se deve à prefeitura. Após a análise dos dados obtidos, efetuou-se uma pesquisa ação. Esta foi realizada com a distribuição de fôlderes para a comunidade do Bairro Faxinal. Estes continham informações a respeito das principais zoonoses, medidas profiláticas, legislação referentes ao abandono e maus-tratos e atitudes que devam ser tomadas quando presenciados tais crimes. Esta pesquisa foi de grande relevância para a comunidade do bairro, pois visou maior bem-estar tanto dos cães como da população. A pesquisa buscou oferecer às famílias maiores informações a respeito das zoonoses e formas de preveni-las, além de zelar pela saúde dos cães, animais tão queridos e importantes no convívio social.

Published: February 2019

OBJECTIVE To describe a technique for endoscopic evaluation of the coelomic viscera of koi (Cyprinus carpio) and to evaluate the ability to visually examine coelomic structures by use of an approach cranial or caudal to the pelvic girdle.

ANIMALS 16 subadult koi.

PROCEDURES Koi were anesthetized with buffered tricaine methanesulfonate. Coelioscopic examination was performed via a ventral midline incisional approach cranial or caudal to the pelvic girdle. A 2.7-mm × 18-cm 30° oblique endoscope within a 4.8-mm operating sheath and infusion of saline (0.9% NaCl) solution was used. Ease of entry into the coelomic cavity and visual examination of structures were scored for each fish. Fish were euthanized 2 or 8 weeks after the procedure, and necropsy was performed.

RESULTS The coelioscopic procedure was tolerated well, and all koi recovered uneventfully. For all fish, ease of entry and visual examination scores of the liver, intestines, gonads, heart, and anterior kidney were satisfactory to excellent. Visual examination of the posterior kidney and swim bladder was satisfactory to difficult, whereas the spleen and gallbladder were not visually identified. No significant differences were noted in entry or visual examination scores between the cranial and caudal approaches or between sexes. Minor complications included mild hemorrhage, rupture of the gonadal capsule, formation of adhesions between the viscera and incision site, and delayed healing of the incision.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Diagnostic coelioscopy of koi appeared to be safe and effective. This procedure could have potential for use in examination of coelomic structures and disease diagnosis.

Authors: Kieves Nina R. , Hart Juliette L. , Evans Richard B. , Duerr Felix M.
Published: February 2019

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of 3 walkway cover types on temporospatial and ground reaction force measurements of dogs during gait analysis with a pressure-sensitive walkway (PSW).

ANIMALS 35 client- and staff-owned dogs (25 nonlame and 10 lame).

PROCEDURES In a crossover study design, all dogs were evaluated at a comfortable walk on a PSW to which 3 cover types (a 0.32-cm-thick corrugated vinyl mat or a 0.32- or 0.64-cm-thick polyvinyl chloride yoga mat) were applied in random order. Temporospatial and ground reaction force measurements were obtained and compared among cover types within the nonlame and lame dog groups.

RESULTS Several variables, including maximum peak pressure, maximum force (absolute and normalized as a percentage of body weight), and vertical impulse (absolute and normalized) differed significantly in most comparisons among cover types for both nonlame and lame dogs. There was no significant difference in maximum force values between the 0.32-cm-thick corrugated vinyl and 0.64-cm-thick polyvinyl chloride cover types for both nonlame and lame dogs.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE To the authors’ knowledge, the cover type used during data collection with a PSW is rarely provided in published reports on this topic. The findings in this study suggested that to ensure that PSW data for dogs are collected in a standardized manner, the same cover type should be used during follow-up visits to evaluate clinical outcomes, for the duration of research studies, and at all locations for multi-institutional studies. The cover type should be specified in future PSW studies to allow direct comparisons of findings between studies.
Meeting Physician Compliance Recommendations in the Management of Opioids in Chronic Pain: The Chronic Pain Management Registry (CPMR)
Authors: Langley Paul
Published: February 2019

In a recent commentary in INNOVATIONS in Pharmacy, details were given on a recently released Chronic Pain Management Registry (CPMR). The CPMR was designed to provide a tracking and audit framework for evaluating claims made for therapy interventions in chronic pain management. At the same time, the CPMR was seen as a key element in monitoring physician and practice compliance with requirements for the prescribing of opioids and other scheduled substances. The purpose of the present commentary is to expand upon the role of the CPMR in the management of opioids in detailing the concordance of the CPMR data collection requirements with the latest recommendations of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP) for responsible, safe and effective opioid prescribing in chronic non-cancer pain. Given ongoing concerns with opioid misuse and abuse, the opioid epidemic, physician practices are at risk for what may be judged as poor therapy decisions in evaluating medical necessity and a failure to monitor effectively response to therapy. Adoption of a platform such as the CPMR may, through providing a comprehensive evidence base and tracking capability, support more effective prescribing decisions and adherence to therapy.  At the same time, the ability to justify decisions through a CPMR documentation audit may not only alleviate physician concerns if their decisions are challenged but also lead to improved outcomes in the treatment of chronic pain.

Constructing a sophistication index as a method of market segmentation of commercial farming businesses in South Africa
Authors: Van Zyl D , Puth G
Published: February 2019

This study investigates the process of index construction as a means of measuring a hypothetical construct that can typically not be measured by a single question or item and applying it as a method of market segmentation. The availability of incidental secondary data provided a relevant quantitative basis to illustrate this process by constructing a commercial farming sophistication index for South Africa. It was evident that this approach offers an appropriate and useful means of segmenting a market. Several factors contribute to the appeal of this approach. Among others, it addresses important priorities in the area of future segmentation research. By offering classification rules based on characteristics that can easily be observed or elicited through asking a few key questions, new or potential buyers can be grouped by buying behaviour segment. Furthermore, the multi-step process that was employed provides a systematic and structured multivariate approach to segmentation. It also facilitates replication of the process when conducting future studies. Lastly, the outcome of this type of segmentation method offers researchers and marketing practitioners a procedure, in the form of an equation, to calculate index scores and provide rules to segment the market based on predefined intervals. Hence, the challenge to replicate segment formation across independent future studies is addressed.
Multiple gene silencing in STAT pathway in K562 cells
Authors: Rajendran Vinod , Deo Sudha S.
Published: February 2019

Context:

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the presence of a fusion oncoprotein BCR-ABL. This mutation imparts a constitutive phosphorylation activity of tyrosine residues in the cellular proteins. One of the targets of BCR-ABL is the STAT5 protein, which when phosphorylated induces gene expression of antiapoptotic proteins such as BCL-XL. The STAT pathway has been targeted in the past by disrupting any one protein only. A multiple gene silencing has never been done in this pathway.

Aim:

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of downregulation of BCR-ABL, STAT5A, STAT5B, and BCL-XL, individually and simultaneously, in human CML cell line (K562 cells) through RNA interference (RNAi). Further, gene expression, inhibition of proliferation, and apoptosis induction were assessed in K562 cells.

Materials and Methods:

K562 cells were transfected with various combinations of small iRNA (siRNA) and the expressions of aforesaid genes were determined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot analysis. K562 cell proliferation and apoptosis were analyzed using 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide and flow cytometry, respectively. The results were compared through one-way analysis of variance.

Results:

qPCR and western blotting results post-siRNA transfection confirmed the targeted gene suppression and protein reduction in K562 cells. The cell proliferation assay and apoptosis assay revealed that simultaneous gene silencing of BCR-ABL, STAT5A, STAT5B, and BCL-XL had the highest killing effect on K562 cells as compared to knocking down these genes individually or in any other combinations.

Conclusions:

This was the first time it was shown that multiple gene silencing in STAT pathway in CML cell line K562 was better as compared to individual gene silencing.

Recent Trends and Future Directions on Value Addition of Irish potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.) among Smallholder Farmers
Authors: Mlaviwa Jacinta , Missanjo Edward
Published: February 2019

Irish potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) value addition has the potential to enhance food security, household income and nutrition. This cross-sectional study was, therefore, conducted to examine value addition of Irish potato among smallholder farmers in Ntcheu, central Malawi. Data was collected using a standard structured questionnaire administered through face-to-face interviews. The results revealed that there were significant differences (X2=103.3; p<0.001) on value addition techniques practiced by farmers. The following value addition techniques were identified: chips (65%), packaging (27.5%), crisps (25%), grading (12.5%), salad (5%), baking (5%), soup (2.5%) and grounding into flour (2.5%). It was noted that factors influencing Irish potato value addition among farmers significantly (X2=8.020; p=0.046) differed. The majority (70%) of the farmers were influenced by knowledge of value addition, followed by ready markets for products (57.5%), while a few were influenced by capital (45.5%) and availability of value addition equipment (40.0%). The study further revealed that education level and group participation significantly (P<0.05) influenced Irish potato value addition technique practices. Farmers with secondary education level or above and those in Irish potato group production are involved in diverse value addition techniques. Encouraging farmer group formation, access to loans to buy value addition equipment, linking farmers with supermarkets, and farmer’s exposure to field days and workshops are the strategies identified to promote effective Irish potato value addition among smallholder farmers.
Nuevas desigualdades urbanas: la apropiación global del patrimonio en los centros históricos mexicanos
Authors: Navarrete Escobedo David
Published: February 2019

La desigualdad urbana en los centros patrimoniales se ve marcada por la implantación de equipamientos turísticos, culturales y de servicios de alta gama que generan atmósferas aseptizadas y cosmopolitas en espacios históricamente populares y heterogéneos. Esos llamados “rescates” de los centros históricos pueden explicarse en parte por la presencia de poblaciones extranjeras, sean residentes secundarios o turistas. En el siglo xxi, esa presencia esconde procesos complejos que conducen a la acentuación de las desigualdades urbanas bajo la tutela del Estado, del mercado y de actores locales y globales. Es una transformación económica, social, espacial y política que excluye a los habitantes y usuarios tradicionales de los centros históricos de las ciudades mexicanas quienes se ven despojados del goce patrimonial.

Published: February 2019

Este trabajo aborda la producción y organización espacial de distintos tipos de desigualdades en Quito, Ecuador. Explica cómo durante los siglos xx y xxi los procesos de urbanización que ha vivido la ciudad han creado nuevas geografías de segregación socioespacial, y analiza otras desigualdades relacionadas con la discriminación de migrantes, grupos lgbti y mujeres, enfatizando su dimensión simbólica (estigmas) y territorial. Plantea que los estudios de desigualdades urbanas deben mostrar su dimensión estructural y multiescalar, diacrónica y sincrónica, material y simbólica, que articule lo nuevo y lo viejo, para dar cuenta de que la ciudad, como un palimpsesto, es un espacio en el que, una y otra vez, se producen y organizan espa- cialmente múltiples desigualdades, aunque no del mismo modo.

Published: February 2019

This research is aimed to study the possibility of recycled the PET wastes by forming the PET wastes as plastic semi-bars and used it as tension bars in simply supported reinforced concrete beams . Twelve beams specimens with dimension of (150*200*1400) mm are casted and tested to monitoring the effecting of these wastes as tension bars on the strengths and serviceability of reinforced concrete beams. The mechanical properties (compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strength) are evaluated in which specimens tested in age of 28 days. The tests results showed that all presented plastic semi-bars are failed except one case in which the deformed steel bar are used with additional layer of PET bottle cut into two parts which showed an increment in ultimate failure load and deflection of  3.03 % and 213.83 % respectively, larger than the reference beam specimens. Negatively effect of PET semi-bar on ultimate load of beams is due to bonding failure between PET bars and surrounding concrete, which made the PET bars as voids or weak region within beam cross section.

PENGARUH TIPE BUDAYA ORGANISASI TERHADAP PERILAKU KNOWLEDGE SHARING: PENDEKATAN KONSEP
Authors: Hermanto Hermanto
Published: February 2019

Resources are central to the existence of any organisation, and among these resources, knowledge is recognised as one of the most important. Knowledge can be categorised as explicit or tacit. Explicit knowledge can be articulated, stored independently, and easily communicated. Conversely, tacitknowledge is embedded deep in people’s minds and is not easily shared. Attempts to share can be slow, costly, and uncertain. Although it is acknowledged that there are inherent benefits to tacitknowledge,people, generally, are reluctant to share it because of various barriers. According to prior research,organisational culture is one of the main barriers. This paper proposes a conceptual framework that will facilitate the study of the influence of organisational culture types on tacitknowledge-sharing behaviour.Keywords: Organisational Behaviour, Innovation, Knowledge Management

Published: February 2019

Chili (Capsicum annum L.) often experience the highest price fluctuations in Indonesia. This is caused by the production that is often disrupted in certain months, especially in the months in the rainy season due to flowers and fruits that fall before the harvest. Since agricultural land has changed its function for infrastructure development, marginal land (Ultisol) is used. The ultisol problem is: high acidity, low organic matter content, nutrient deficiency important for plants (eg N, P, Ca, Mg and Mo) and high solubility of Al, Fe and Mn. The provision of organic materials such as manure and marine mud will overcome the problem of acid-rich mineral soil and play an important role in improving, increased and maintaining sustainable land productivity. Research results for chili flower significantly. the highest number of flowers found in the treatment of L0P3, L1P2, L1P3 and L2P3 that is > 60 flower/plant.

ABSTRAK

Tanaman cabai besar (Capsicum annum L.) sering mengalami fluktuasi harga paling tinggi di Indonesia. Hal tersebut disebabkan oleh produksi yang sering terganggu pada bulan tertentu terutama pada bulan-bulan di musim penghujan dikarenakan bunga dan buah yang rontok sebelum panen. Karena lahan pertanian banyak beralih fungsinya untuk pembangunan infrastuktur, maka digunakan lahan marginal (Ultisol). Masalah ultisol ialah: kemasaman tinggi, kadar bahan organik yang rendah, kekurangan unsur hara penting bagi tanaman (contoh: N, P, Ca, Mg dan Mo) serta tingginya kelarutan Al, Fe dan Mn. Pemberian bahan organik seperti pupuk kandang dan Lumpur laut akan mengatasi persoalan tanah mineral masam berkadar Al tinggi dan berperan penting dalam memperbaiki, meningkatkan serta mempertahankan produktifitas lahan secara berkelanjutan Hasil Penelitian untuk jumlah bunga cabai berpengaruh signifikan. jumlah bunga terbanyak terdapat pada perlakuan L0P3, L1P2, L1P3 dan L2P3 yaitu > 60 bunga/tanaman. Terjadi pengaruh faktor tunggal untuk jumlah buah, terbanyak terdapat pada perlakuan L3 ( 600 ton/ha lumpur laut) yaitu 22,36 buah/tanaman. Perlakuan pupuk kandang berpengaruh signifikan Pembentukan fruit set terbanyak pada perlakuan P0 dan P2 (tanpa pupuk kandang dan pupuk kandang 20 ton/ha) yaitu 77,60% dan 70,45%.

The FIFA's ranking of national soccer teams is plagued with paradoxes. One surprising paradox is a dramatic underrating of the hosts of main tournaments. The hosts, who are absent from the preliminaries, for a long time, play only friendlies that award few points. Three models estimate the magnitude of the resulting “Host Effect” at 14.1-16.7 positions. Such an estimate goes against the intuition that a large investment in hosting a tournament should result in improvement of the host team’s standing. Host’s low ranking decreases the interest in the tournament and may result in a major loss of advertisement revenue.

In shrimp culture, various diseases, white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in particular, has been emerging as a serious constraint affecting shrimp culture in Bangladesh. In this study, effort has been given assessing the risk factors for WSSV outbreak under which 72 farms were investigated belonging 4 Upazilas of Bagerhat (Kochua, Rampal, Fakirhat) and Khulna (Paikgacha) district of Bangladesh from January to June 2011. Major scenario depicted improved traditional culture method. PCR test has been carried out to confirm WSSV infection. About 20 factors were considered in assessing the association of WSSV outbreak. Study revealed significant correlation with some factors like accessibility of cattle (r=0.630, p≤.01) and linked up with other ghers (r=0.754, p≤.01) within a cluster (Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient test). Pearson Correlation coefficient for salinity found to have significant correlation with the risk of WSSV infection (r= -0.727, p≤.01), followed by temperature (0.624, p≤.01) and average depth (-0.618, p≤.01), however, feeding kept 30.6% farms away from the outbreak followed by sludge removal (26.39% farms). On the contrary, uses of river water directly into the ghers pose 38.9% risk of being attacked which is absolutely nill and 1.4% for the underground and rain water respectively. Disease prone months found in March to June and out of the four upazilas, Fakirhat found to be less infected due to better management. Therefore, ensuring proper gher management practice, virus free Pl, awareness buildup at the farmer level and community based farm management development can act as preventive measures in reducing the risk of WSSV infection.
