Study on the Moving Target Tracking Based on Vision DSP
Authors: Gong Xuan , Le Zichun , Wang Hui , Wu Yukun
Published: November 2020

The embedded visual tracking system has higher requirements for real-time performance and system resources, and this is a challenge for visual tracking systems with available hardware resources. The major focus of this study is evaluating the results of hardware optimization methods. These optimization techniques provide efficient utilization based on limited hardware resources. This paper also uses a pragmatic approach to investigate the real-time performance effect by implementing and optimizing a kernel correlation filter (KCF) tracking algorithm based on a vision digital signal processor (vision DSP). We examine and analyze the impact factors of the tracking system, which include DP (data parallelism), IP (instruction parallelism), and the characteristics of parallel processing of the DSP core and iDMA (integrated direct memory access). Moreover, we utilize a time-sharing strategy to increase the system runtime speed. These research results are also applicable to other machine vision algorithms. In addition, we introduced a scale filter to overcome the disadvantages of KCF for scale transformation. The experimental results demonstrate that the use of system resources and real-time tracking speed also satisfies the expected requirements, and the tracking algorithm with a scale filter can realize almost the same accuracy as the DSST (discriminative scale space tracking) algorithm under a vision DSP environment.

Authors: Daud Kamal Muhammad , Tahir Ali , Babar Kamal Muhammad , Moeen Faisal , Naeem M. Asif
Published: November 2020

The number of wireless sensors in use—for example, the global positioning system (GPS) intelligent sensor—has increased in recent years. These intelligent sensors generate a vast amount of spatiotemporal data, which can assist in finding patterns of movements. These movement patterns can be used to predict the future location of moving objects; for example, the movement of an emergency vehicle can be predicted for health care decision-making. Although there is a body of research work regarding motion trajectory prediction, there are no guidelines for choosing algorithms best suited for individual needs in uncertain and complex situations and as per the application domains. In this paper, we surveyed existing trajectory prediction algorithms. These algorithms are further ranked scientifically in terms of accuracy (performance), ease of use, and best fit as per the available datasets. Our results show three top algorithms, namely NextPlace, the Markov model, and the hidden Markov model. This study can be beneficial for multicriteria decision-making for various disciplines, including health care.
Public Policy for Sustainability and Retail Resilience in Lisbon City Center
Authors: Barata-Salgueiro Teresa , Guimarães Pedro
Published: November 2020

International organizations, public authorities and researchers have increasingly been concerned with urban resilience and sustainability. We focus on the triangle retail, urban resilience and city sustainability, aiming to uncover how cities have coped with retail challenges to increase their resilience towards a sustainable path, highlighting the role played by public policy. The case study asks, is Central Lisbon strongly affected by processes of regeneration, touristification and gentrification, simultaneously with changes in retail. The analysis of planning and other policy documents complemented by fieldwork evidence shows a close link between public initiatives and private entrepreneurship and their impacts in the vitality of the core. The text shows that the policy outlined by local authorities to overcome the decline of the city center and to meet the aims of sustainability implies urban resilience. The transformation of retail is aligned with that vision and is supported its achievement, while the commercial fabric suffered an evolution from shopping to consumption spaces, polarized by culture and entertainment, targeting new consumers and lifestyles. However, new social and economic challenges arise due to escalating housing prices, change in retail supply, the excessive dependence of tourism and the danger of losing part of the city’s identity.
“Squaring the Circle”—The Disregarded Institutional Theory and the Distorted Practice of Packaging Waste Recycling in Romania
Authors: Jora Octavian-Dragomir , Pătruți Alexandru , Iacob Mihaela , Șancariuc Delia-Raluca
Published: November 2020

The European Union (EU) remains one of the leading-edge jurisdictions on the planet in legislating and enforcing the circular economy, a token of its forthright environmental awareness. Still, given that the level of economic development across the EU member states is heterogenous, this concern, however generous it may be, looks too beyond “their” means and too ahead of “its” times. What the European policymakers seem to disregard is that top-down institutional constructions, as is the case with the EU’s overambitious environmental legislation, can end up in severe distortions. Imposing/importing an institutionalized arrangement without due preparation may fuel resistance to (even positive) change, as the biases it engenders translate into considerable costs and selective benefits. The present article attempts a novel approach within the literature, where the failure to achieve recycling targets is usually considered the fault of private businesses. Instead, our study explains suboptimal environmental results by the institutionalization of spiraling governmental interventions in markets, meant to make the arbitrarily set recycling/reuse targets artificially viable. Subject to EU rules, Romania’s packaging waste recycling market is a textbook case in revealing this outcome predicted by economic theory, as our statistical data suggest. The conclusion is that it is equally perilous to neglect the calibration of legislative targets according to institutional and economic development as it is to reject environmental claims based on their costs.
The Zero Waste University Program in Mexico: A Model for Grassroots Innovations in Sustainability
Authors: Jiménez-Martínez Nancy Merary , García-Barrios Raúl
Published: November 2020

Grassroots innovations for sustainability can take various forms, including novel models for comprehensive waste management. This article examines the contributions of the University Solid Waste Management Program with a Zero Waste approach, a grassroots innovation established by the community of a university campus associated with a non-governmental organization. The program was developed in Cuernavaca, Mexico, in a political and economic context marked by unsustainable and inequitable practices, but with a long history of social struggle for the construction of alternatives. In analytical terms, we study the formation and mutual influence of the sustainability niches of both organizations from the perspective of strategic niche management theory, as well as the benefits resulting from such development.
Methodology for Establishing Well-Being Urban Indicators at the District Level to be Used on the CityScope Platform
Authors: Orii Lisa , Alonso Luis , Larson Kent
Published: November 2020

The MIT Media Lab City Science Group reshapes and reevaluates well-being as an emerging key indicator due the social challenges that cities are facing, such as inequality, police violence, and breaches to safety and security. Well-being in urban environments has been studied extensively, yet most research focuses on one aspect of well-being rather than multiple dimensions of well-being. Existing well-being indices that are used to compare well-being between different countries or to set a standards for well-being consider a variety of aspects that affect well-being, yet they are not specific to urban environments. When considering that no holistic and comprehensive research has been specifically conducted on well-being in urban environments, we research the relationship between the built features of an urban environment and well-being. In this paper, we propose a Well-Being Index composed of five urban indicators—Community Connectedness, Safety & Security, Physical Health, Mental Health, and Diversity—which are each described by a set of urban attributes that enhance well-being. Each attribute is quantified using a calculation formula. In addition to quantifying well-being, the Well-Being Index emphasizes specific urban features that urban planners should consider for future decision-making. We apply the Well-Being Index to predict well-being in Boston, Massachusetts, and Kansas City, Missouri, and we speculate that Boston has higher levels of well-being in terms of the city’s urban features. Based on our results, we provide suggestions for future choices in urban planning and design to improve the areas of well-being that we were able to identify with the Well-Being Index. We emphasize that the Well-Being Index can be applied to any city in the world, and can inform future decision-making for building urban environments through the CityScope platform; a novel methodology of interaction and collaboration by using a data-driven platform that simulates the impacts of interventions on urban ecosystems prior to detail-design and execution.
Sustainable Urban Regeneration through Densification Strategies: The Kallithea District in Athens as a Pilot Case Study
Authors: Ferrante Annarita , Fotopoulou Anastasia , Mazzoli Cecilia
Published: November 2020

The current main issue in the construction sector in Europe concerns the energy refurbishment and the reactivation of investments in existing buildings. Guidance for enhancing energy efficiency and encouraging member states to create a market for deep renovation is provided by a number of European policies. Innovative methods and strategies are required to attract and involve citizens and main stakeholders to undertake buildings’ renovation processes, which actually account for just 1% of the total building stock. This contribution proposes technical and financial solutions for the promotion of energy efficient, safe, and attractive retrofit interventions based on the creation of volumetric additions combined with renewable energy sources. This paper focuses on the urban reality of Athens as being an important example of a degraded urban center with a heavy heat island, a quite important heating demand, and a strong seismic vulnerability. The design solutions presented here demonstrate that the strategy of additions, because of the consequent increased value of the buildings, could represent an effective densification policy for the renovation of existing urban settings. Hence, the aim is to trigger regulatory and market reforms with the aim to boost the revolution towards nearly zero energy buildings for the existing building stocks.
A Numerical Method for Weakly Singular Nonlinear Volterra Integral Equations of the Second Kind
Authors: Micula Sanda
Published: November 2020

This paper presents a numerical iterative method for the approximate solutions of nonlinear Volterra integral equations of the second kind, with weakly singular kernels. We derive conditions so that a unique solution of such equations exists, as the unique fixed point of an integral operator. Iterative application of that operator to an initial function yields a sequence of functions converging to the true solution. Finally, an appropriate numerical integration scheme (a certain type of product integration) is used to produce the approximations of the solution at given nodes. The resulting procedure is a numerical method that is more practical and accessible than the classical approximation techniques. We prove the convergence of the method and give error estimates. The proposed method is applied to some numerical examples, which are discussed in detail. The numerical approximations thus obtained confirm the theoretical results and the predicted error estimates. In the end, we discuss the method, drawing conclusions about its applicability and outlining future possible research ideas in the same area.
Analytical Approximations of Dispersion Relations for Internal Gravity Waves Equation with Shear Flows
Authors: Bulatov Vitaly , Vladimirov Yury
Published: November 2020

The problem of internal gravity waves fields in a stratified medium of finite depth is considered for model distributions of background shear currents. For the analytical solution of the problem, a constant distribution of the buoyancy frequency and various linear dependences of the background shear current on depth were used. The dispersion dependences are obtained, which are expressed in terms of the modified Bessel function of the imaginary index. Under the Miles–Howard stability condition and large Richardson numbers, the Debye asymptotics of the modified Bessel function of the imaginary index were used to construct analytical solutions. The dispersion equation is solved using the proposed analytical approximation. The properties of the dispersion equation are studied and the main analytical characteristics of the dispersion curves are investigated depending on the parameters of background shear flows.
Human Endogenous Retrovirus K Rec Forms a Regulatory Loop with MITF that Opposes the Progression of Melanoma to an Invasive Stage
Authors: Singh Manvendra , Cai Huiqiang , Bunse Mario , Feschotte Cédric , Izsvák Zsuzsanna
Published: November 2020

The HML2 subfamily of HERV-K (henceforth HERV-K) represents the most recently endogenized retrovirus in the human genome. While the products of certain HERV-K genomic copies are expressed in normal tissues, they are upregulated in several pathological conditions, including various tumors. It remains unclear whether HERV-K(HML2)-encoded products overexpressed in cancer contribute to disease progression or are merely by-products of tumorigenesis. Here, we focus on the regulatory activities of the Long Terminal Repeats (LTR5_Hs) of HERV-K and the potential role of the HERV-K-encoded Rec in melanoma. Our regulatory genomics analysis of LTR5_Hs loci indicates that Melanocyte Inducing Transcription Factor (MITF) (also known as binds to a canonical E-box motif (CA(C/T)GTG) within these elements in proliferative type of melanoma, and that depletion of MITF results in reduced HERV-K expression. In turn, experimentally depleting Rec in a proliferative melanoma cell line leads to lower mRNA levels of MITF and its predicted target genes. Furthermore, Rec knockdown leads to an upregulation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal associated genes and an enhanced invasion phenotype of proliferative melanoma cells. Together these results suggest the existence of a regulatory loop between MITF and Rec that may modulate the transition from proliferative to invasive stages of melanoma. Because HERV-K(HML2) elements are restricted to hominoid primates, these findings might explain certain species-specific features of melanoma progression and point to some limitations of animal models in melanoma studies.
Organic Matter Clogging Results in Undeveloped Hardpan and Soil Mineral Leakage in the Rice Terraces in the Philippine Cordilleras
Authors: Kurozumi Tomoyo , Mori Yasushi , Somura Hiroaki , O-How Milagros
Published: November 2020

Rice terraces in Cordillera, Philippines, a world cultural heritage site, are threatened by the risk of collapse. It is crucial to manage these rice terraces for their conservation, while simultaneously practicing traditional farming. We examined the soil environment and investigated its effects on rice terrace conservation, by focusing on the hardpan condition; infiltration process, which is related to the collapse of rice terraces; and soil nutrition conditions in these sites. Field survey and soil analysis revealed that in areas where the hardpan was not sufficiently developed and water infiltration was effectively suppressed, organic matter content was significantly high, suggesting organic matter clogging. In these rice terraces, the amounts of P, K, Ca, and Mn were significantly low, showing the mineral leaching under reductive soil conditions. Therefore, hardpan formation, rather than organic matter clogging, is essential for the suppression of infiltration and prevention of potential terrace collapse. Because hardpan formation or organic matter clogging cannot be identified from the surface of flooded rice paddies, it is difficult to identify the influencing factor. Thus, we suggest that the hard soil layer should be checked before the planting season and drainage is allowed after the cropping season in the rainy season.
Using Freshwater Bivalves (Corbicula Fluminea) to Alleviate Harmful Effects of Small-Sized Crucian Carp (Carassius Carassius) on Growth of Submerged Macrophytes during Lake Restoration by Biomanipulation
Authors: Gu Jiao , Li Kuanyi , Jeppesen Erik , Han Yanqing , Jin Hui , He Hu , Ning Xiaoyu
Published: November 2020

Increased recruitment of small-sized fish following biomanipulation by reducing the biomass of plankti-benthivorous fish, not least in (sub)tropical lakes, may deteriorate water quality and thereby potentially hamper the recovery of submerged macrophytes. Filter-feeding bivalves remove suspended particles from the water and may, thereby, somewhat or fully counteract this negative effect of the increasing abundance of small-sized fish. So far, only few studies have investigated the interactive effects of fish and bivalves on water clarity and macrophyte growth. We conducted a 2 × 2 factorial designed outdoor mesocosm experiment with two densities of small crucian carp Carassius carassius (low 10 g m−2 and high 40 g m−2) and two densities of bivalves Corbicula fluminea (low 204 g m−2 and high 816 g m−2). We found significant interactive effect of fish and bivalves on the growth of the macrophyte Vallisneria natans. In the low density bivalve regime, the relative growth rates, root mass, root:shoot ratio and number of tubers were 30.3%, 30.8%, 21.6% and 27.8% lower in the high than in the low density fish treatments, while the decrease was less pronounced in the high density bivalve regime: 1.2%, 8.7%, 2.1% and 13.3%, respectively. Thus, bivalves reduced the negative effects of fish, not least when bivalve density was high. The weaker effects of small fish on plants in the high- than in the low-density C. fluminea regime can be attributed to lower total suspended solids (TSS) and Chl a in the first week of the experiment. Better light conditions further stimulated the growth of benthic algae, potentially increasing the removal of nutrients from the water and reducing fish-driven resuspension of the sediment. In addition, high densities of C. fluminea also enriched the sediment total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) content, favouring plant growth as indicated by an increase in leaf tissue TN and TP contents. Our results demonstrate that filter-feeding bivalves can alleviate harmful effects of small fish by prolonging a clear-water state that facilitates submerged macrophyte growth. Addition of the bivalve C. fluminea can be a promising tool for the restoration of submerged macrophytes in shallow eutrophic lakes, in particular lakes containing small, rapidly reproducing fish that due to their small sizes are not capable of controlling the bivalves.

Authors: Gaudio Roberto
Published: November 2020

The main focus of this Special Issue of Water is the state-of-the-art and recent research on turbulence and flow–sediment interactions in open-channel flows. Our knowledge of river hydraulics is becoming deeper and deeper, thanks to both laboratory/field experiments related to the characteristics of turbulence and their link to the erosion, transport, deposition, and local scouring phenomena. Collaboration among engineers, physicists, and other experts is increasing and furnishing new inter/multidisciplinary perspectives to the research in river hydraulics and fluid mechanics. At the same time, the development of both sophisticated laboratory instrumentation and computing skills is giving rise to excellent experimental–numerical comparative studies. Thus, this Special Issue, with ten papers by researchers from many institutions around the world, aims at offering a modern panoramic view on all the above aspects to the vast audience of river researchers.
Modelling Water Quality Improvements in a South Korean Inter-Basin Water Transfer System
Authors: Lee Hye Won , Yeom Bo-Min , Choi Jung Hyun
Published: November 2020

In this study, we investigated the feasibility of using constructed wetlands for non-point source pollution reduction. The effect of constructed wetlands in reducing suspended solids (SS) was analyzed using an integrated modeling system of watershed model (HSPF), reservoir model (CE-QUAL-W2), and stream model (EFDC) to investigate the behavior and accumulation of the pollution sources based on 2017 water quality data. The constructed wetlands significantly reduced the SS concentration by approximately 30%, and the other in-lake management practices (e.g., artificial floating islands and sedimentation basins) contributed an additional decrease of approximately 7%. Selective withdrawal decreased in the average SS concentration in the influents by ~10%; however, the effluents passing through the constructed wetlands showed only a slight difference of 1.9% in the average SS concentration. In order to meet the water quality standards, it was necessary to combine the constructed wetlands, in-lake water quality management, and selective withdrawal practices. Hence, it was determined that the model proposed herein is useful for estimating the quantitative effects of water quality management practices such as constructed wetlands, which provided practical guidelines for the application of further water quality management policies.
Genomic prediction and association analyses of energy corrected milk yield in dairy cows
Authors: KARACAÖREN Burak
Published: November 2020

Energy balance plays a critical role in the maintenance of metabolism for producing milk yield (MY) in dairy cows. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in genetic and genomic analyses of MY. In contrast to MY there is much less information about genomic evaluation of energy corrected milk yield (ECMY). The purpose of this paper is to detect associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with ECMY and genomic prediction (GP) of ECMY using different genomic models with special reference to underlying genetic architecture of ECMY. In this study we used published data of 773 Holstein cows with phenotypic observations for ECMY and dairy farm information with 62410 SNPs. One interesting finding is that some short chromosomes as such chromosomes 5 (included 28446 SNP) and 29 (included 12776 SNP) had higher effects sizes compared with the rest of the genome. A possible explanation for these results may be related with the existence of major genes at the chromosome 5. The GP results showed that ECYM and residuals of ECYM, had the accuracies from a 10-fold cross validations as 0.6422 and 0.3529 respectively. It was found that ECMY could be used for GP due to moderate accuracies. Taken together, dairy farm effects suggest an impact for accuracies of GP.
Crise da democracia e inovações democráticas no Legislativo
Authors: Quintão Thales Torres
Published: November 2020

Este artigo examina o fenômeno da crise da democracia e a relação dela com o Legislativo. Nesse sentido, pensando na emergência das novas formas de mobilização política praticadas por diversos movimentos sociais que recusam a estabelecer interfaces com o parlamento, foi feita uma discussão analítica das inovações democráticas que esse poder tem desenvolvido nos últimos tempos, e os principais desafios colocados. Essas inovações têm como objetivo tornar o parlamento mais aberto, transparente, e participativo, principalmente por meio do engajamento digital, como o crowdlaw. Apesar de existirem arranjos participativos de muita potencialidade, alguns entraves ainda se fazem presentes. Esses entraves vão desde a natureza política e institucional do Legislativo (aversão ao risco, necessidade de confluências entre o campo administrativo e político), até pelo caráter ainda incipiente desses arranjos.
Condicionantes da tolerância política no Brasil contemporâneo
Authors: De Moraes Peixoto Vitor , Matheus de Souza Jessica
Published: November 2020

Este trabalho objetivou a construção de análises a respeito da percepção da economia pessoal e do país pelo cidadão e os impactos da avaliação dela no conjunto de comportamentos individuais conhecidos por tolerância política. Os dados analisados foram extraídos da base do Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP), 2016. A hipótese central do estudo propunha correspondência entre avaliações egotrópica e sociotrópica da economia e grau de tolerância individual, e a mesma não foi comprovada. Porém, foram encontradas variáveis que exercem significativo impacto na tolerância política: foi negativo o antipetismo, idade, vítimas de crimes e religiosos das classificações evangélico pentecostal e protestante tradicional, ou seja, esses são os grupos mais intolerantes. Em contrapartida, maior escolaridade tende a aumentar o grau de tolerância dos indivíduos.
Limites e possibilidades da democracia no Brasil
Authors: Gusmão de Araújo José Thiago
Published: November 2020

As análises de Florestan Fernandes são de grande importância para pensar os limites e possibilidades da democracia no Brasil, considerando que as transformações político-cultural no país aconteceram de forma desigual para as diferentes frações da sociedade. Proponho uma leitura dos escritos de Florestan Fernandes, sobre a formação da democracia no Brasil e os aspectos culturais envolvidos nesse processo, revisitando as hipóteses da Demora Cultural e a do Dilema Social Brasileiro, onde busco relacionar com a questão do negro no país e o mito da democracia racial, como elemento de grande importância para repensar algumas questões de ordem democrática. Para Florestan, uma democracia só seria possível através de uma mudança cultural provocada em busca da superação dos limites e atrasos no desenvolvimento por um processo de disputas e de mudanças das camadas dominantes do país, que contribuiria para o desenvolvimento de uma mentalidade democrática dos indivíduos, em busca  da formação de uma ordem social competitiva que incluiria as classes populares como um motor do desenvolvimento do crescimento do Brasil.

La dimensión política del mal radical y de la banalidad del mal en el pensamiento de Hannah Arendt
Authors: Wagon María
Published: November 2020

El mal radical y la banalidad del mal son las dos formas en que Arendt ha catalogado al mal totalitario en distintas etapas de su obra. El objetivo del presente trabajo es abordar las diferentes concepciones arendtianas del mal desde la perspectiva política con el fin de determinar si existen continuidades o si, por el contrario, hay un cambio abrupto en el pensamiento de Arendt. La dificultad que debe enfrentarse es que el problema del mal y las reflexiones sobre lo político no son temas abordados por Arendt de forma directa sino que son contenidos transversales que deben rastrearse en la totalidad de su obra. Se concluye que el mal radical y el mal banal no son nociones excluyentes sino que remiten a dos niveles diferentes, uno más general y estructural y el otro vinculado con el comportamiento de los individuos dentro de las estructuras gubernamentales estudiadas.
El misterioso compatibilismo cartesiano

Published: November 2020

En este trabajo, argumento que Descartes está comprometido, a la vez, con una posición compatibilista respecto de la relación entre libre albedrío y preordenación divina, esto es, una posición según la cual ambas tesis resultan verdaderas, y con una concepción libertaria del libre albedrío humano. La posición suya que, según defiendo aquí, permite al autor sostener esas dos actitudes es lo que llamo Misterismo, según el cual el carácter inmenso e incomprensible de Dios es lo que no nos permite comprender cabalmente esa compatibilidad mediante nuestra razón finita.

Esos granos de Ferrita proeutectoide, donde el carbono está en muy baja proporción, al seguir bajando la temperatura hacen que la Austenita se enriquezca cada vez más en carbono hasta alcanzar la composición eutectoide de 0.77 %C. Al continuar el enfriamiento, esa Austenita se transforma en Perlita (láminas alternas de Ferrita y Cementita). Esa es la estructura que se observa granos de Perlita rodeados de granos de Ferrita.

-Acero Hipereutectoide: Es un acero al carbono con una composición de 1.3 % en peso de Carbono.

La microestructura que se observa se ha conseguido enfriando lentamente el acero desde 970 ͦC donde su estructura es Austenita (monofásica) hasta situarse en el campo bifásico de Austenita y Cementita. Esta Cementita precipita en los bordes de granos de Austenita rodeándolos. Al seguir enfriando, la Austenita se empobrece cada vez más en carbono hasta alcanzar la composición eutectoide de 0.77 %C. Disminuyendo la temperatura, los granos de Austenita se transforman en Perlita (láminas alternas de Ferrita y Cementita). Esa es la estructura que se observa granos de Perlita rodeados de Cementita.

Relata-se um caso de adenocarcinoma pulmonar acinar (ACPA) com metástase renal em um felino fêmea, siamês de 13 anos de idade com dispneia e cansaço há quatro dias. O animal foi eutanasiado e necropsiado. Macroscopicamente os pulmões apresentavam-se não colapsados, firmes, avermelhados e entremeados por áreas brancacentas que ao corte adentravam ao parênquima. No rim direito, observou-se área esbranquiçada bem delimita na superfície capsular que adentravam ao parênquima. Microscopicamente observou-se no pulmão massa tumoral composta por células epiteliais dispostas em ninhos, túbulos e ácinos, muitas vezes, preenchidos por material mucinoso. Os rins apresentavam pequenos focos neoplásicos que se assemelhavam às do pulmão. Adenocarcinomas pulmonares apesar de pouco comuns em gatos, apresentam prognóstico desfavorável devido às dificuldades no diagnóstico presuntivo e deve ser considerada como diagnóstico diferencial de enfermidades pulmonares em felinos idosos.

O tumor venéreo transmissível (TVT) é uma neoplasia de células redondas que se apresenta principalmente relacionada ao aparelho genital externo de machos e fêmeas, porém pode ser encontrada na forma extragenital.  Este relato descreve um caso raro de TVT por sua localização nos septos nasais, com acometimento também da região oral de um cão com histórico de epistaxe bilateral, estertor respiratório, dispnéia inspiratória, disfagia e emaciação progressiva. O diagnóstico foi possível após avaliação clínica minuciosa, exames radiográficos consecutivos, acompanhamento do paciente quanto à resposta terapêutica e confirmação do TVT após exame citológico. Optou-se pelo tratamento quimioterápico com vincristina, sendo constatada regressão completa do TVT após três sessões, no entanto, completaram-se quatro sessões.

O presente trabalho tem o objetivo descrever e avaliar um protocolo anestésico implementado para um coelho, macho, sem raça definida, submetido a procedimentos cirúrgicos de orquiectomia e uretrorrafia. O protocolo empregado consistiu no uso de acepromazina como pré-medicação, indução e manutenção com zolazepam e tiletamina e epidural como anestesia local com o uso de lidocaína e tramadol. Foram avaliadas frequência cardíaca, frequência respiratória, saturação periférica de oxihemoglobina, qualidade de recuperação anestésica e a possibilidade de efeitos adversos. Durante o procedimento, houve redução na frequência respiratória, oscilação discreta da frequência cardíaca e estabilidade na saturação periférica de oxihemoglobina, além de bom relaxamento muscular. O animal teve uma recuperação satisfatória e tranquila e não foram observados efeitos adversos. Diante dos resultados, conclui-se que a técnica anestésica implementada foi segura e efetiva para o procedimento em que o animal foi submetido.

Relata-se um surto de raiva em bovinos no município de São João do Rio do Peixe-PB.  Trinta e dois animais oriundos de seis propriedades distintas vieram a óbito em um intervalo de três meses. Os animais tinham acesso a uma casa abandonada que abrigava grande quantidade de morcegos. Um desses bovinos apresentava incoordenação motora, paresia e paralisia dos membros pélvicos, hiperexcitabilidade e diminuição da resposta ao teste de panículo, vindo a óbito em dois dias.  A necropsia foi realizada e macroscopicamente não foram observadas lesões macroscópicas significativas. Microscopicamente no encéfalo, observou-se encefalomielite multifocal associada a neuronofagia, gliose e presença de corpúsculos de inclusão viral intracitoplasmáticos eosinofílicos em neurônios do córtex frontal, nervo trigêmeo, medula espinhal e células de Purkinje do cerebelo. Com base nos achados clínicos, epidemiológicos e patológicos realizou-se o diagnóstico de raiva.

Há uma gama de microrganismos que podem ser agentes causadores de zoonoses, como vírus, bactérias, protozoários, entre muitos outros. Dentre os citados, pode-se destacar Toxoplasma gondii, protozoário responsável por ser o causador da toxoplasmose,  Dirofilaria immits, nematódeo que causa a dirofilariose, sendo estas zoonoses de risco que ainda são pouco conhecidas por parte da população. Por isso, este trabalho teve com o objetivo investigar o grau de conhecimento da população de Sousa, no Alto Sertão da Paraíba, sobre dirofilariose e toxoplasmose, abordando conceitos básicos sobre estas importantes zoonoses parasitárias. Percebeu-se que, das 100 pessoas que foram entrevistadas, 83% não sabiam o que é a toxoplasmose, 39% acreditava que o cão é o responsável pela transmissão dessa doença, 53% supuseram que a mordida de animais infectados é uma forma de transmissão dessa protozoonose, acreditam também que a toxoplasmose é uma alergia constante causada pelos animais 30%, assim como que a mesma pode ser um tipo de diarréia 25%. Sobre dirofilariose, 98% não tinham conhecimento da doença, 48% informaram que não sabiam que animal era o portador desta zoonose, enquanto 15% mencionaram o gato como portador da dirofilariose. A maior parte da população entrevistada não tinha conhecimento de que a dirofilariose pode afetar o ser humano, representando 96%. As formas de prevenção eram desconhecidas por todas as pessoas que participaram da entrevista, e 97% não utilizavam ou conheciam alguém que utilizava repelente nos seus animais. O conhecimento sobre zoonose pela população regional envolvida neste estudo atesta um baixo nível de conhecimento. Tal condição confere risco tanto para o proprietário, quanto para a saúde coletiva regional, sendo necessária a implantação de projetos, atividades educacionais promovidas pela secretária de saúde do município.

A parasitologia é uma das diversas áreas da biologia responsável por estudar os parasitos e o parasitismo no geral. Devido a utilização de métodos tradicionais no ensino, geralmente há dificuldade na fixação do conteúdo ministrado ao decorrer da disciplina de parasitologia. Numa tentativa de diferenciação no ensino, procuraram-se formas alternativas para auxiliar no processo ensino-aprendizagem, através do desenvolvimento de um aplicativo em forma de “quiz” voltado para a parasitologia veterinária. O “VetParasitoQuiz” foi desenvolvido e disponibilizado na loja virtual de Google para downloads em dispositivos Android. Em seguida, foi testado e avaliado pelos discentes matriculados na disciplina de parasitologia veterinária (2018.1) e da disciplina de Doenças Parasitárias (2018.2) do curso de Medicina Veterinária do Instituto Federal da Paraíba (IFPB) campus Sousa, onde os mesmos avaliaram a eficácia de métodos alternativos no ensino-aprendizagem. A avaliação desse método foi dividida em três fases, tendo resultados positivos em todas as fases com base na avaliação dos alunos, e assim comprovando a eficácia e eficiência na utilização de métodos alternativos no ensino da parasitologia veterinária.
