Chylous ascites associated with abdominal trauma and intestinal resection-anastomosis in a pet ferret (Mustela putorius furo)
Authors: Chassang Lucile , Langlois Isabelle , Loos Pauline , Freire Mila , O'Toole Elizabeth
Published: April 2018

CASE DESCRIPTION A 10-week-old 0.73-kg (1.6-lb) castrated male domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) was referred for exploratory laparotomy because of pneumoperitoneum and possible septic peritonitis after being bitten by the owner's dog.

CLINICAL FINDINGS Abdominal exploration revealed a large laceration of the duodenum, tears of the jejunal mesentery, and 2 small tears in the abdominal wall. Chylous abdominal effusion developed 48 hours after surgery.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME Postoperative care included supportive treatment, analgesia, and antimicrobials. An abdominal drain was placed during the laparotomy and enabled monitoring of abdominal fluid production. Enteral feeding was provided through an esophagostomy tube. The chylous fluid production rapidly decreased after treatment with octreotide was initiated, and the ferret improved. Chyloabdomen resolved after 8 days of hospitalization and medical treatment.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE Findings suggested that chylous ascites can potentially develop secondary to blunt abdominal trauma in ferrets. In this ferret, chyloabdomen was successfully treated with octreotide administration and abdominal drainage.

The purpose of this study was to prepare a mosapride citrate-resin (Amberlite® IRP 88) complex and orally fast-disintegrating tablets of the resin complex. The resinate complex of mosapride-Amberlite® IRP 88, mass ratio 2:1, was prepared in an ethanol-water solution. The effects of alcohol concentration, temperature, and pH of the solution on complex formation were evaluated. The complex physicochemical properties were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Orally disintegrating tablets were prepared by direct compression and were optimized using the response surface method. Optimized orally fast-disintegrating tablets disintegrated within 18 s. The pH dependence of mosapride release from the tablet decreased drug dissolution in simulated saliva, whereas it promptly released in the pH 1.0 solution. The data reported herein clearly demonstrate that tablets containing the mosapride-Amberlite® IRP 88 complex for oral disintegration could be particularly useful for patients with swallowing difficulties.
Modern Services: Terminological Considerations and the Characteristic Features of Their Role in Socio-Economic Development
Authors: Dominiak Joanna
Published: April 2018

Services, the staple of the modern economy, are subject to constant changes. These changes are contingent on economic processes that are the result of, inter alia, technological progress, intensifying globalisation processes and growing competitiveness. Increasingly important are specialised services, where staff with high qualifications are employed. Such services include dynamically developing knowledge-based ones. Their growth has been fostered by the increasing demand for modern services in the era of the development of a knowledge-based economy.

This article focuses on the terminology related to modern services and seeks to answer questions about their role in the development of modern economies. The aim of the article is: (1) to identify modern services in the light of relevant literature; (2) to attempt to construct a model of the impact of those services on economic development; (3) to analyse the level of development of modern services in the EU member states, and (4) to empirically verify the model of the impact of the services on economic development in the EU member states. The empirical analysis was carried out with the application of statistical data from the Eurostat database.

Published: April 2018

Salt stress has a large impact on controlling the plant growth and development. The present study was conducted to examine the role of salicylic acid on alleviation of salt stress in wheat. In this experiment, the treatment consisted of four different salinity levels viz. S0 = without salt (control), S1 = 2.8 g NaCl kg-1 soil ? 3-4 dSm-1, S2 = 6.0 g NaCl kg-1 soil ? 7-8 dSm-1, S3 = 9.0 g NaCl kg-1 soil ? 11-12 dSm-1 and three different levels of salicylic acid (SA) viz. A0 = 0 mM, A1= 0.2 mM and A2 = 0.4 mM. It was done by using two factors Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. The total treatment combinations were 12 (4x3). Results of the experiment showed a significant dissimilarity among the treatments in respect of the major parameters. Yield of wheat were exaggerated by different levels of salinity. The higher levels of salinity showed greater reduction of yield. The highest grain yields (1.55 tha-1) were recorded at S0A2 (Without Salt + 0.4 mM salicylic acid) treatment combination which did not show any difference with S0A0 (Without Salt+ Without SA) and S0A1 (Without Salt + 0.2 mM SA). But the grain yield was gradually decreased with the increasing level of salinity. The application of salicylic acid increased the grain yield differently according to the levels of salinity. The minimum grain yields were found 1.14 t ha-1, 1.07 tha-1 and 0.26 t ha-1 at 3-4 dSm-1, 7-8 dSm-1 and 11-12 dSm-1 NaCl respectively. These yields were increased with SA (0.4 mM) from 1.14 to 1.32 tha-1, 1.07 to 1.14 tha-1 and 0.26 to 0.31 tha-1 at 3-4 dSm-1, 7-8 dSm-1 and 11-12 dSm-1 NaCl respectively. These results suggest that salicylic acid can alleviate the detrimental impacts of salinity and increase the grain yield of wheat.
Proporcionalidade, comparabilidade e fórmula do peso
Authors: Zanitelli Leandro Martins
Published: April 2018

Uma das objeções levantadas contra o teste da proporcionalidade é a objeção de incomensurabilidade, de acordo com a qual a ponderação requerida pela proporcionalidade é muitas vezes uma ponderação entre direitos incomensuráveis e, portanto, não suscetível a uma solução racional. Tendo como base a distinção entre incomensurabilidade e incomparabilidade, este artigo avalia a importância e as consequências da incomparabilidade de alternativas para a proporcionalidade e para a aplicação da fórmula do peso de Alexy. Como conclusão, afirma-se que a aceitação de uma teoria dos direitos pluralista não é, por si só, um empecilho a uma solução racional para as colisões de direitos humanos ou fundamentais.
Democracy and information: the null vote and its misconception in Brazil / Democracia e informação: o voto nulo no Brasil
Authors: Silva Adriana Campos , Dos Santos Polianna Pereira , De Barcelos Júlia Rocha
Published: April 2018

Abstract: This study intends to analyze a common misconception regarding null votes in Brazil, by which electors may end up basing themselves on false premises to second their electoral choices. It uses social media, official elections data and historical legislation, in order to better understand the origin of the misconception and its effects on the legitimacy of democracy. In Brazil, it is possible that an elector abstains from voting, votes blank or null, or votes for a candidate or party. The first three of these behaviors are defined here as “electoral indifference”. In these cases, the democratic principle requires that the voter is aware of the potential effects of his choice. Information is therefore essential, for the ability to intervene in political decisions and the extension of that ability to the widest range of adults are criteria for democracy that can only be reached through enlightened understanding.Resumo: Este estudo pretende analisar um equívoco comum, relacionado a votos nulos no Brasil, em razão do qual eleitores podem acabar se baseando em premissas  falsas para fundamentar suas escolhas eleitorais. Utiliza-se de mídias sociais, dados oficiais de eleições e legislação histórica para melhor entender a origem desse equívoco e seus efeitos na legitimidade da democracia. No Brasil é possível que um eleitor se abstenha de votar, vote branco ou nulo, ou vote em um candidato ou partido. Os três primeiros desses comportamentos podem ser definidos como alheamento eleitoral. Nesses casos, o princípio democrático exige que o eleitor esteja ciente dos efeitos potenciais de sua escolha. A informação é, assim, essencial, uma vez que a habilidade de intervir em decisões políticas e a extensão desta habilidade ao maior número de adultos são critérios para a democracia que só podem ser alcançados por meio do entendimento esclarecido.

Museus necessitam manter a continuidade das suas funções culturais no domínio digital como expressão de um direito cultural
Authors: Molinaro Carlos Alberto
Published: April 2018

Museus necessitam manter a continuidade das suas funções culturais no domínio digital como expressão de um direito cultural(Esta missão é desafiadora porque essas instituições necessitam de mais e melhores recursos humanos, financeiros e tecnológicos nem sempre disponíveis)Este ensaio tem por objetivo refletir sobre como a inovação tecnológica está a modelar a função e a missão dos museus na perspectiva de preservar memórias exemplares – sejam essas positivas ou negativas – da humanidade. Museus são importantes instituições, sejam eles públicos ou privados. Na visão epistemológica e jurídica, no âmbito das sociedades do conhecimento (ou da informação), surge a pergunta, quais são os desafios e oportunidades que vêm junto com a passagem à era digital para os museus? Como os museus podem se utilizar das Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação (TIC), a fim de conectar as pessoas ao seu acervo? Como museus pode lidar com questões abertas, por exemplo, no que diz respeito aos direitos de autor? Entre empresas, públicas ou privadas e da sociedade civil, como podem os museus manifestar o seu papel e identificar estratégias para melhor posicionar-se para o público em geral? Como podem os museus cooperar para a efetividade dos direitos culturais? São perguntas que integram o domínio digital, em uma sociedade cada vez mais exclusivista. Como ponto de partida, examina-se o contexto do Direito e da Cultura Jurídica na Sociedade da Informação, ou do Conhecimento (se preferido). Após, dedica-se ao estudo parcial do "fenômeno digital" na conformação sociocultural e comportamental das sociedades. Para, finalmente, concluir que as alterações socioculturais provocadas pelo desenvolvimento tecnológico a todos afetam de modo inafastável, o que induz a certeza que os ajustes e novas adaptações são imprescindíveis para a subsistência das instituições. A abordagem para tema utilizou a metódica da pesquisa bibliográfica no que é pertinente ao tema e, de modo limitado, aos objetivos pretendidos.
Kurt Vonnegut's “Homage to Santa Rosalia”: The “Patroness of Evolutionary Studies” and Galapagos
Authors: Marshall Ian
Published: April 2018

Though critics have noted the evolutionary themes in Kurt Vonnegut's Galapagos, none has discussed the name Vonnegut gave to the fictional island where most of the novel's action takes place: Santa Rosalia. Since Vonnegut had been reading up on evolutionary ideas while writing the novel, it seems likely that his source for the name was ecologist G. Evelyn Hutchinson's famous 1959 article, “Homage to Santa Rosalia: Or Why Are There So Many Kinds of Animals?” In a study of water bugs in a spring below a cave on Mount Pellegrino where Saint Rosalia's bones had been found in the seventeenth century, Hutchinson established ecological principles regarding speciation, ecological niches, and biodiversity, and he expressed prescient concerns about human impacts on the natural world. These concerns all surface in Galapagos. Of particular interest to Vonnegut must have been Hutchinson's designation of Saint Rosalia as the “patroness of evolutionary studies.”
The Appeal of the Primal Leader: Human Evolution and Donald J. Trump
Authors: McAdams Dan P.
Published: April 2018

Drawing on the distinction between dominance and prestige as two evolutionarily grounded strategies for attaining status in human groups, this essay examines an underappreciated feature of Donald Trump's appeal to the millions of American voters who elected him president in 2016—his uncanny ability to channel primal dominance. Like the alpha male of a chimpanzee colony, Trump leads (and inspires) through intimidation, bluster, and threat, and through the establishment of short-term, opportunistic relationships with other high-status agents. Whereas domain-specific expertise confers status in the prestige paradigm, dominant leaders derogate expertise in order to establish a direct, authoritarian connection to their constituency. Trump's leadership style derives readily from his personality makeup, which entails a combustible temperament mixture of high extraversion and low agreeableness, a motivational agenda centered on extreme narcissism, and an internalized life story that tracks the exploits of an intrepid warrior who must forever fight to win in a Hobbesian world of carnage.
Drawings of Representational Images by Upper Paleolithic Humans and their Absence in Neanderthals Reflect Historical Differences in Hunting Wary Game
Authors: Coss Richard G.
Published: April 2018

One characteristic of the transition from the Middle Paleolithic to the Upper Paleolithic in Europe was the emergence of representational charcoal drawings and engravings by Aurignacian and Gravettian artists. European Neanderthals never engaged in representational drawing during the Middle and Early Upper Paleolithic, a property that might reflect less developed visuomotor coordination. This article postulates a causal relationship between an evolved ability of anatomically modern humans to throw spears accurately while hunting and their ability to draw representational images from working memory. Unlike Neanderthals, archaic and anatomically modern humans in sub-Saharan Africa adopted longer-range hunting practices using hand-cast spears as a compensation for the emergence of increasingly wary game. For Neanderthals, paleoclimatic fluctuations likely precluded consistent hunting of cold-adapted game, a property making game more approachable for close-range hunting with thrusting spears. As evidence of less historical wariness of humans, many of the species hunted by Neanderthals were eventually domesticated. Due to strong sources of natural selection on archaic and anatomically modern humans for effective hunting, the parietal cortex that integrates visual imagery and motor coordination expanded progressively, yielding the globular shape of the human cranium that is not evident in Neanderthals. To characterize how the cognitive properties employed for throwing spears and drawing line work are similar, the Upper Paleolithic drawings of animals in Chauvet cave, France, are discussed in the speculative context of how these artists engaged simultaneously in overt attention to guide their hand movements and covert attention to their mental images during the drawing process.
Movement is the Song of the Body: Reflections on the Evolution of Rhythm and Music and its Possible Significance for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
Authors: Meehan Adrian D. , Abbott Benjamin W. , Larsson Matz
Published: April 2018

Schooling fish, swarms of starlings, plodding wildebeest, and musicians all display impressive synchronization. To what extent do they use acoustic cues to achieve these feats? Could the acoustic cues used in movement synchronization be relevant to the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) in humans? In this article, we build on the emerging view in evolutionary biology that the ability to synchronize movement evolved long before language, in part due to acoustic advantages. We use this insight to explore potential mechanisms that explain why music therapy has beneficial effects for PD patients. We hypothesize that rhythmic auditory cues, particularly music, can stimulate neuronal and behavioral processes that ease the symptoms and potentially the causes of PD because the neural circuits used in auditory entrainment at individual and group levels are associated with dopamine production. We summarize current treatment of PD and outline how new insights from an evolutionary perspective could improve understanding and eventual treatment of movement disorders in humans.
Performance Prediction of Gasification of Biomass Briquettes Using Thermodynamic Equilibrium Model
Authors: T. O. Popoola C. J. Diji,
Published: April 2018

The gasification of biomass resources is considered a promising route for the production of clean energy fuels for the future.The product gas of partial combustion of biomass with air as the gasifying medium is the mixture of CO, H2, CH4, CO2, H2Oand N2 called syngas. Syngas generation is now considered matured and acceptable technology compared to other biomassconversion technologies. In this study, a thermodynamic equilibrium model to determine syngas composition based on carbon,hydrogen and oxygen obtained from composite agricultural wastes was developed. For these materials, at preset gasificationtemperature of 750oC, the effects of changes in moisture content and air/fuel ratio on the quality syngas composition weremodeled. The yields of combustible gases (H2, CO and CH4) from Rice husk briquette were observed to be generally higherthan those of groundnut shell with sawdust briquette. The result with Groundnut shell and Sawdust briquette as input indicatedthat the fraction of H2, CO and CH4 gradually decreased, while the concentration of CO2 and H2O increased when moisturecontent increases from 0% to 45%. Similar trend was observed from the analysis of Rice husk briquette gasification in the model.The amount of Air per kmol of fuel varied from 0 to 1.0. As a result, the H2, CO and CH4 content of syngas for Groundnutshell and sawdust briquette decreased continuously; with CH4 approaching zero at air/fuel ratio of unity. Similar trend occurredin Rice husk briquette, but the values were higher than those observed for the groundnut shell & sawdust briquette. The amountof CO2 and H2O increased from 14.9742% and 20.6603% to 36.5886% and 57.3208% respectively for Groundnut shell briquette,while for Rice husk briquette the amount of CO2 and H2O rose from initial values of 2.8047% and 2.2552% at zero air/fuelratios to 40.3272% and 45.6339% respectively.The results of this study would be useful for the engineering development of biomass gasification power generation technologiesand in the selection of appropriate feedstock.

Background

Vaccine hesitancy (VH) is prominent in France. Objectives: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and socio-demographic correlates of VH in sub-groups of the French population and to investigate the association of VH with both vaccine uptake and perceived risk–benefit balance (RBB) for four vaccines. Methods: During the 2016 Health Barometer – a national cross-sectional telephone survey in a representative sample of the French population – parents of 1–15 year-old children, parents of 11–15 year-old girls and elderly people aged 65–75 years were asked about VH (using three questions adapted from the World Health Organization definition), vaccine uptake and perceived RBB for measles and hepatitis B (children’s parents), human papillomavirus (girls’ parents) and seasonal influenza (elderly people) vaccines. Results: A total of 3,938 parents including 959 girls' parents – and 2,418 elderly people were interviewed. VH prevalence estimates were 46% (95% confidence interval (CI): 44–48) among parents, 48% (95%CI: 45–51) among girls’ parents and 35% (95% CI: 33–36) among elderly people, with higher estimates associated with high education level, children’s age (10–15 years), and, for the elderly, poor perception of health status. VH was associated with uncertainty about and/or an unfavourable perception of vaccines’ RBB for the four vaccines and with lower self-reported vaccine uptake, except for human papillomavirus vaccine in girls. Results were confirmed by multivariable analysis. Conclusion: Further research is needed to study the association between VH and vaccine uptake for other vaccines, and to design and validate measurement tools to monitor VH over time.

Published: April 2018

Greece is currently experiencing a large measles outbreak, in the context of multiple similar outbreaks across Europe. We devised and applied a modified chain-binomial epidemic model, requiring very simple data, to estimate the transmission parameters of this outbreak. Model results indicate sustained measles transmission among the Greek Roma population, necessitating a targeted mass vaccination campaign to halt further spread of the epidemic. Our model may be useful for other countries facing similar measles outbreaks.

Analisis Pertanyaan Retorika dalam Ayub 40:1-28
Authors: Stevanus Kalis
Published: April 2018

Abstract. The purpose of the analysis of the rhetorical question in Job 40: 1-28 is to look at theological and practical implications. Theologically: 1) Everything under God's control. Including Job with all the agonizing suffering he experienced remained under God's control; 2) Keep believing in God even if you do not feel His physical presence; 3) Behind the suffering of the righteous man is the divine will of God. God never allows anything to happen to believers, without God's purpose in it. In suffering there is God's gracious will, in God's will, there is His grace. So believers can reach His great purpose and plan. Practically: 1) God is big, strong and we are small, weak. Let believers  keep giving thanks to God even in suffering, then pray (ask) to God for strengthening us when we face the tests of faith; 2) Live honestly and humbly. Do not despise or judge a person for not having the spiritual experience that Ayub once experienced. For the Lord opposes the proud and the pity of the humble; 3) Rely completely on God. In both temptation and suffering, there is nothing better that believers can do than always depend entirely on God.Abstrak. Tujuan analisis pertanyaan retorika dalam Ayub 40:1-28 ini adalah untuk melihat implikasi teologis dan praktis. Secara teologis: 1) Segala sesuatu di bawah penguasaan dan kendali Tuhan. Termasuk juga Ayub dengan segala penderitaan berat yang dialaminya tetap berada di bawah penguasaan dan kendali Tuhan; 2) Tetaplah percaya pada Tuhan walau tidak merasakan kehadiran-Nya secara fisik ; 3) Di balik penderitaan orang saleh terkandung kehendak Allah yang rahmani. Tuhan tidak pernah mengizinkan sesuatu menimpa orang percaya, tanpa maksud Tuhan di dalamnya. Di  dalam penderitaan ada kehendak Tuhan yang rahmani, di dalam kehendak Tuhan ada anugerah-Nya, sehingga orang percaya bisa mencapai maksud dan rencana-Nya yang agung. Secara praktis: 1) Tuhan itu besar, kuat dan manusia kecil, lemah. Hendaklah orang percaya tetap bersyukur kepada Tuhan sekalipun dalam penderitaan dan berdoalah (mintalah) kepada Tuhan agar Ia menguatkan saat-saat menghadapi ujian-ujian iman; 2) Hiduplah jujur dan rendah hati. Janganlah memandang rendah atau menghakimi seseorang karena tidak memiliki pengalaman rohani seperti yang dialaminya. Sebab Tuhan menentang orang sombong dan mengasihani orang yang rendah hati; 3) Bergantunglah sepenuhnya kepada Allah. Dalam pencobaan maupun penderitaan, tidak ada yang lebih baik yang dapat dilakukan orang percaya selain bergantung sepenuhnya kepada Allah.

yöresinde erken dönemler içerisinde en yoğun buluntu merkezi, İlk Tunç Çağı’na
aittir. Bu döneme ilişkin buluntular 92 merkezde saptanmıştır. Dönem içerisinde
ise komşu bazı yörelerde olduğu gibi İlk Tunç Çağı'nın II. evresinde en yüksek
seviyeye ulaşmıştır. Bir önceki dönem olan Son Kalkolitik Çağ seramiği tespit
edilen merkezlerin hemen tamamında İlk Tunç Çağı I evresine ait buluntu da
saptanmıştır. Dolayısıyla, Son Kalkolitik Çağ ile İlk Tunç Çağı I arasında
kültürel bir kesinti görülmemekte, aksine devamlılıktan rahatlıkla söz
edilebilmektedir. Bu devamlılık kültürel anlamda çanak çömlek parçalarının form
ve teknik özelliklerinde de göze çarpmaktadır. Ayrıca İlk Tunç Çağı
merkezlerinin önemli bir kısmında sonraki dönem olan Orta Tunç Çağı buluntusu
da saptanmıştır. İlk Tunç Çağı’ndan Orta Tunç Çağı’na geçişte terk edilen
buluntu merkezi az sayıdadır.

Aksi solidaritas masyarakat di Jakarta dan berbagai daerah di Indonesia menyusul vonis atas Basuki
Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) menoreh catatan tersendiri dalam sejarah demokrasi bangsa Indonesia karena
menyentuh berbagai konteks sosial sekaligus menggugah kesadaran berbangsa yang satu dalam
keragaman. Makna solidaritas dan kesadaran itu dapat dipahami melalui pendekatan semiotika. Salah satu
rujukan studi semiotika adalah Roland Barthes yang menghadirkan makna denotasi dan konotasi atau
signifikasi dua tahap. Pada tahap pertama, konsep – konsep kunci yang perlu dipahami, yaitu, reality,
signs,dan denotation. Sementara itu, signifier dan signified merupakan konsep jembatan menuju tahap
kedua yang mencakup konsep mengenai culture, form, content, connotation dan myth. Makna yang
dibingkai dalam konsep – konsep ini terbuka juga bagi interpretasi intersubyektif sehingga akan selalu
ada makna dan pendefinisian baru. Dengan demikian, makna realitas yang ada dalam aksi solidaritas
1000 lilin ini pun dapat ditelusuri dan disingkap secara denotatif dan konotatif, mulai dari tahap pertama
hingga tahap kedua yang juga terbuka bagi pemaknaan seterusnya dalam peleburan berbagai horizon.
