OBJECTIVE

To define reference intervals (RIs) for arterial blood gas (aBG) measurements in healthy, nonsedated, dolichocephalic, and mesocephalic (nonbrachycephalic) dogs at approximately 1,535 m above sea level and compare these findings with healthy, nonsedated, brachycephalic dogs living at the same altitude.

ANIMALS

120 adult nonbrachycephalic dogs and 20 adult brachycephalic dogs.

METHODS

Cases were prospectively enrolled from October 2021 to June 2022. Dogs were enrolled from the community or after presentation for wellness examinations or minor injuries including lacerations, nail injuries, and lameness. Physical examinations and systolic blood pressure (sBP) measurements were obtained before blood sample collection. Arterial blood was collected from the dorsal pedal artery or femoral artery. After data collection, brachycephalic dogs underwent pre- and postexercise tolerance assessments.

RESULTS

The mean and RI values for arterial pH (7.442; 7.375 to 7.515), partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (Pao2; 78.3; 59.2 to 92.7 mm Hg), partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (Paco2; 28.0; 21.5 to 34.4 mm Hg), saturation of arterial oxygen (Sao2; 98.4; 84.3% to 101.4%), HCO3 (18.9; 14.9 to 22.4 mmol/L), concentration of total hemoglobin (ctHb; 17.5; 13.4 to 21.1 g/dL), and sBP (133; 94 to 180 mm Hg) were established for healthy nonbrachycephalic dogs at 1,535-m altitude. All aBG measurements were statistically and clinically different from those previously reported for dogs at sea level. Brachycephalic dogs had significantly lower Pao2 and Sao2 (P = .0150 and P = .0237, respectively) and significantly higher ctHb (P = .0396) compared to nonbrachycephalic dogs acclimatized to the same altitude; the nonbrachycephalic RIs were not transferable to the brachycephalic dogs for Pao2.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

This study represents the first collation of aBG measurements for healthy nonbrachycephalic dogs acclimatized to an altitude of 1,535 m. Additionally, this study identified differences in arterial oxygenation measurements between brachycephalic and nonbrachycephalic dogs. RIs in brachycephalic dogs need to be established.

OBJECTIVE

To determine and compare the concentration of gentamicin in the lower airways and serum of healthy spontaneously breathing dogs after nebulization with 5% undiluted gentamicin during 3 versus 10 minutes.

ANIMALS

10 healthy experimental Beagles.

METHODS

This was a prospective crossover study. A standardized bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) procedure was performed in each dog after 1 week of administration of each of 2 different gentamicin nebulization protocols separated by a 1-week washout period. The 2 protocols consisted of nebulization of 5% undiluted gentamicin (50 mg/mL) twice daily either during 10 minutes per session (± 95 mg; 10-minute protocol) or 3 minutes per session (± 28 mg; 3-minute protocol). BAL fluid (BALF) was obtained under general anesthesia using a bronchoscope within 15 minutes after administration of the last nebulization. Blood was collected within 5 minutes after BALF collection. BALF and serum gentamicin concentrations were determined by particle-enhanced turbidimetric inhibition immunoassay. Concentrations between protocols were compared using a paired t test.

RESULTS

Both BALF and serum gentamicin concentrations were higher after the 10-minute protocol compared with the 3-minute protocol (mean ± SD: 2.41 ± 0.87 mg/L vs 1.25 ± 0.31 mg/L, P = .001; and 1.02 ± 0.59 mg/L vs 0.31 ± 0.24 mg/L, P < .0001 in BALF and serum, respectively), while the BALF-to-serum ratio did not differ between the protocols (3.75 [1.37 to 5.75] (median [IQR]) in the 3-minute protocol vs 2.48 [2.02 to 2.67] in the 10-minute protocol; P = .754).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

A 3-minute nebulization of gentamicin seems to achieve sufficient concentrations of gentamicin in the BALF to have good efficacy against aminoglycoside-sensitive bacteria while remaining below the toxic range values in blood.

Objective: In view of the growing need for low-cost, easily accessible alternative wastewater treatments, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of a natural product (Moringa oleifera lam), when used as a coagulant, on the removal of turbidity and color from a pig slaughterhouse effluent.
 
Method/design/approach: The coagulant was prepared in saline solution (NaCl - 1M) and saline solution (KCl - 1M), all the coagulant solutions were prepared at the time of the test. In order to assess the effect of the coagulant on the effluent, coagulation/flocculation tests were carried out using the Jar- test apparatus, evaluating the effects of dosages of 200, 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 mg/L of Moringa in saline solution (NaCl and KCl). The parameters analyzed were color and turbidity.
 
Results and conclusion: According to the results of the statistical analysis, the optimum dosages obtained for the coagulants Moringa NaCl and Moringa KCl were 1000 and 1500 mg/L, respectively. With these dosages, removal of 63.9% for turbidity and 56.3% for color was observed when using NaCl saline solution and removal of 57.4% for turbidity and 45.2% for color when using the coagulant in KCl saline solution.
 
Implications of the research: The main implication of the study is a proposal to evaluate the efficiency of the coagulation/flocculation/decantation process of pig slaughterhouse effluent, using natural coagulants, in the removal of organic matter. Due to the many problems caused by the use of chemical coagulants, such as aluminum sulfate and aluminum polychloride, which are used worldwide, there is a great demand for an alternative coagulant that is mainly natural.
 
Originality/value: The study seeks to contribute to improving the management of water resources, in terms of local management.  The use of natural coagulants, produced locally and at a low cost, can alleviate the problems linked to the discharge of untreated wastewater into receiving water bodies and the consumption of non-potable water.

Authors: BAYRAM Onur , ŞİMŞEK Nevzat
Published: February 2024

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye Ekonomisi için petrol fiyat şoklarının çıktı etkileri sektörel düzeyde incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Yazarların bilgisi dahilinde, petrol fiyat şoklarının çıktı etkilerinin zamana bağlı dinamikleri, sektörel düzeyde hiçbir çalışmada incelenmemiştir. Literatürdeki bu boşluğun doldurulması amacıyla, petrol fiyat şoklarının sektörel çıktı düzeyi üzerindeki zamana bağlı etkileri, stokastik oynaklığa sahip Zamanla Değişen Parametreli Vektör Otoregresyon (TVP-VAR) yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, 2005:1-2021:10 dönemini kapsayan 28 alt sektöre ilişkin aylık üretim verisi kullanılmıştır. Etki tepki fonksiyonlarından elde edilen sonuçlar, petrol fiyat şoklarının sektörel üretim düzeyi üzerindeki etkilerinin zamana bağlı olarak değişiklik gösterebildiğini ve zamana bağlı bu değişimin sektörler arasında türdeş bir görünüme sahip olmadığını göstermektedir. Bu sonuçlar, petrol fiyat şoklarının analizinde, politika yapıcıların, ekonomik karar vericilerin ve araştırmacıların, sektörel ve zamana bağlı dinamikleri dikkate alması gerekliliğine işaret etmektedir. Bulgular, ayrıca, enerji ekonomisi literatüründeki asimetrik etki hipotezinin Türkiye Ekonomisi için geçerliliğini desteklemektedir.
La La cultura directiva como experiencia topoanalítica desde mi pensar como sujeto maya ch´ol
Authors: López Eleazar Jiménez
Published: February 2024

El presente ensayo tiene la peculiaridad en bosquejar la singular relación entre la experiencia y acontecimiento. Un trabajo analítico que intenta recuperar la experiencia directiva a partir de un ejercicio topoanalítico desde mi pensar maya ch´ol y castellano. Se hace el planteamiento de interés de búsqueda y se ofrece una recuperación de subjetividad desde la experiencia vivida en la función directiva de centros educativos de educación básica. Una posibilidad de grieta ante lo que se plantea como metarrelato lo que pudiera entenderse como liderazgo y como en otros contextos “las habas de cocinan diferente”; ante tal pretensión, se concluye que el lenguaje constituye al sujeto.

Es un texto que dentro de su cuerpo se plantean preguntas buscando respuestas desde la institución y autoridad y en ese proceso de indagación el sujeto que reaprende esta presente como efecto de lo dicho y lo que se dice en la oralidad y palabra escrita. Se ha trazado un camino inconcluso que merece seguirse pensando y recuperar el papel protagónico como sujeto que piensa y se transforma desde el autoestudio escambroso de subjetividad.

The subject of this article is the socio-legal conditionality of establishing liability for criminal evasion of customs and other payments. This article aims to answer the question of the validity of the elevation of the specified illegal act in the field of economic activity to the category of criminally punishable acts by analyzing relevant statistical data, recent legislative changes in the criminal law, studying the author's positions on the expediency of criminal law protection of calculation and collection of customs and other payments, and also taking into account technical transformations in the customs infrastructure. The author used dialectical, systemic, sociological, statistical, comparative legal methods to study the patterns of changes in the field of customs relations and subsequent legislative transformations in criminal legislation, the impact of these legislative decisions on statistical indicators of countering customs crime. As a result of the analysis of current statistical data related to the dynamics of the number of registered crimes, economic harm caused, recent legislative changes in the criminal law sphere, the study of author's positions on the expediency of criminal law protection of public relations related to the calculation and collection of customs and other payments, as well as taking into account information and technical transformations in the customs infrastructure the author concludes that it is advisable to establish a criminal law prohibition on evasion of customs payments, special, anti-dumping and (or) countervailing duties levied on organizations, as well as individuals. The relevance of this article is also due to the fact that over the past almost 10 years there have been no works devoted to the analysis of the socio-legal conditionality of establishing liability for evasion of customs and other payments paid in connection with the movement of goods across the customs border.

Using the example of the Corrective Labor Camp of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR, some economic aspects of the effectiveness of forced labor in the Soviet camp system in the first half of the 50s are considered. The twentieth century particular attention is paid to the issue of expenses and income of the forced labor camp. Based on archival materials from the current archive of the Main Directorate of the Federal Penitentiary Service for the Kemerovo Region, a list of expenses is given, as well as the amount of money spent by the state on the maintenance of the prison population and the forced labor camp as a whole. Data on the costs required to maintain the camp economy are correlated with the amount of money for which the contingent produced marketable products annually. Information is provided on the amount of financial assistance received by the forced labor camp from the state budget and from the departmental unit under the jurisdiction of which it was located. The novelty of the research lies in the appeal to unpublished archival documents of the current archive of the Main Directorate of the Federal Penitentiary Service for the Kemerovo region and in local history topics that have not received widespread scientific coverage. The author comes to the conclusion that the income received from the labor activities of the prison population not only did not compensate for the costs of servicing the activities of the correctional labor camp, but also significantly exceeded them. Analysis of documentary material clearly showed that the use of forced labor was not cheap for the state, much less free. The state spent significant sums to organize camp production and maintain the prison population. The camp existed thanks to annually received government grants and subsidies.
Dynamics of changes in the psychosocial characteristics of online media consumers under the influence of official information and rumors about COVID-19
Authors: Li Yingying
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this study is to study changes in the psychosocial characteristics of network users who spread online rumors on during the pandemic COVID–19. Special attention is paid to the psychological reaction of consumers to reports of pandemic in the context of infodemiс. The subject is the peculiarities of the dissemination and perception of official information and rumors about the pandemic in network media. The object is information about the pandemic on two Chinese network platforms that posts with label "rumors". The research methods were Internet monitoring and statistical analysis. The entire early stage of pandemic is included in the research period (from January to March 2020). The author's special contribution is the analysis of the impact of social networks on the psychological state of consumers and the formation of public consciousness in the context of an infodemiс generated by mass and contradictory information COVID-19. The main conclusions are the need to take into account changes in the mental states of the audience and communicative behavior in information activities, depending on the stage of attitude to the event, pragmatic motives and social interaction. Different requirements should be imposed on the information disseminated at different stages, taking into account the psychological state of the audience, also the existence of various languages of consciousness used by an individual in cognitive and emotional manifestations. Government departments can appropriately publish, clarify and disclose reliable and useful information in a timely manner to prevent the spread of rumors. The scientific novelty consists in analyzing the cognitive and emotional reactions of the mass audience to the flow of information about COVID-10 in all periods, deepening media experts' understanding of the relationship between the behavior of users and the spread of disinformation, determining approaches to developing strategies to combat rumors on the Internet.
Numerical Investigation of Diffusion Flame in Transonic Flow with Large Pressure Gradient
Authors: Zhu Yalu , Liu Feng , Sirignano William A.
Published: February 2024

A finite-volume method for the steady, compressible, reacting, turbulent Navier–Stokes equations is developed by using a steady-state-preserving splitting scheme for the stiff source terms in chemical reactions. Laminar and turbulent reacting flows in a mixing layer with a large streamwise pressure gradient and acceleration are studied and compared to boundary-layer solutions. It reveals that chemical reactions strongly enhance turbulent transport due to the intensive production of turbulence by the increased velocity gradients and thus produce large turbulent viscosities in the reaction region. The influence of vitiated air on the combustion process and aerodynamic performance is also investigated in the cases of turbulent mixing layers and highly loaded transonic turbine cascades. Both cases indicate the viability of the turbine-burner concept.
Effects of a Nonlinear Boundary Condition on the Steady Aerodynamics of Porous Airfoils

Published: February 2024

This paper considers the lift coefficient of an airfoil with nonzero prescribed thickness and camber, along with a prescribed porosity distribution in a steady incompressible flow. In similar prior work, considering a Darcy-type porosity condition on the airfoil surface provides a Fredholm integral equation that can be solved exactly for Hölder-continuous porosity distributions. However, the generated lift predicted by the model diverges from the experimental data for porous airfoils with large values of the porosity parameter. This indicates a fundamental characteristic is missing in the mathematical model. Consequently, in this paper, the (linear) Darcy porosity condition is replaced by the (nonlinear) Forchheimer porosity condition. The Forchheimer porosity condition is decomposed into linear sections and furnishes a modified system of Fredholm integral equations, enabling an approximate solution by superposition for Hölder-continuous porosity distributions. The solution is then verified against the SD7003 airfoil results, and the comparison shows better agreement than considering the Darcy porosity condition. The methodology and results presented here may be combined with previous work on the aeroacoustics of porous airfoils with a Forchheimer boundary condition to address the conflicting aims of improving aerodynamic performance while reducing unwanted aeroacoustic emissions.

Published: February 2024

This article is both an editorial introduction to the guest-edited special issue of JoSTrans on Translation Automation and Sustainability, and a position paper in which we propose a model for evaluating the sustainable use of automation technology in translation and beyond. As grounding notions, the article reviews definitions of automation and considers the urgency of sustainability. Thereafter we propose an adaptation of Elkington’s (1997) triple bottom line, giving equal weight to evaluation based on people, planet, and performance, describing each of these elements in turn. Finally, we introduce the articles from this special issue, in which authors describe various aspects of automation technology in translation with a focus on sustainability.
Speech-to-text Recognition for the Creation of Subtitles in Basque
Authors: Tamayo Ana , Ros Abaurrea Alejandro
Published: February 2024

This contribution aims at analysing the speech-to-text recognition of news programmes in the regional channel ETB1 for subtitling in Basque using ADITU (2024) (a technology developed by the Elhuyar foundation) applying the NER model of analysis (Romero-Fresco and Martínez 2015). A total of 20 samples of approximately 5 minutes each were recorded from the regional channel ETB1 in May, 2022. A total of 97 minutes and 1737 subtitles were analysed by applying criteria from the NER model. The results show an average accuracy rate of 94.63% if we take all errors into account, and 96.09% if we exclude punctuation errors. A qualitative analysis based on quantitative data foresees some room for improvement regarding language models of the software, punctuation, recognition of proper nouns and speaker identification. From the evidence it may be concluded that, although quantitative data does not reach the threshold to consider the quality of recognition fair or comprehensible with regards to the NER model, results seem promising. When presenters speak with clear diction and standard language, accuracy rates are sufficient for a minority language like Basque in which speech recognition software is still in early phases of development.
Does training in post-editing affect creativity?
Authors: Guerberof-Arenas Ana , Valdez Susana , Dorst Aletta G.
Published: February 2024

This article presents the results of an experiment with eleven students from two universities that translated and post-edited three literary texts distributed on the first and last days of their translation technology modules. The source texts were marked with units of creative potential to assess creativity in the target texts (before and after training). The texts were subsequently reviewed by an independent professional literary translator and translation trainer. The results show that there is no quantitative evidence to conclude that the training significantly affects students’ creativity. However, after the training, a change is observed both in the quantitative data and in the reflective essays, i.e. the students are more willing to try creative shifts and they feel more confident to tackle machine translation (MT) issues, while also showing a higher number of errors. Further, we observe that students have a higher degree of creativity in human translation (HT), but significantly fewer errors in post-editing (PE) overall, especially at the start of the training, than in HT.
