Published: November 2020

The wide use of diclofenac (DCF) ineluctably increases the release into wastewater that might cause potential negative effects on wastewater treatment system. To investigate whether DCF caused adverse impacts on the wastewater treatment efficiency and changes of microbial community structure, the exposure experiments at three levels (0, 5, and 50 µg L-1) were conducted in sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) for 120 days. Results indicated that 50 µg L-1 DCF decreased the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal by about 10%, but had no obvious effect on the ammonia and total nitrogen removal (p > 0.05). 5 µg L-1 DCF could improve superoxide dismutase (SOD) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity, while 50 µg L-1 DCF would inhibit SOD and SDH activity. The extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) content increased with the increase of DCF concentration. Compared to the control, Gram-negative bacteria increased and Gram-positive bacteria decreased under 50 µg L-1 DCF pressure. Shannon-Wiener index is calculated by PLFA compositions and 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing indicating that microbial diversity increased in 5 µg L-1 DCF but decreased in 50 µg L-1 DCF. 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing results showed that Chloroflexi, OD1, and Firmicutes kept the decreasing tendency with the increase of DCF concentration.

Excitation-scanning hyperspectral video endoscopy: enhancing the light at the end of the tunnel
Authors: Browning Craig M. , Deal Joshua , Mayes Sam , Arshad Arslan , Rich Thomas C. , Leavesley Silas J.
Published: November 2020

Colorectal cancer is the 3rd leading cancer for incidence and mortality rates. Positive treatment outcomes have been associated with early detection; however, early stage lesions have limited contrast to surrounding mucosa. A potential technology to enhance early stagise detection is hyperspectral imaging (HSI). While HSI technologies have been previously utilized to detect colorectal cancer ex vivo or post-operation, they have been difficult to employ in real-time endoscopy scenarios. Here, we describe an LED-based multifurcated light guide and spectral light source that can provide illumination for spectral imaging at frame rates necessary for video-rate endoscopy. We also present an updated light source optical ray-tracing model that resulted in further optimization and provided a ∼10X light transmission increase compared to the initial prototype. Future work will iterate simulation and benchtop testing of the hyperspectral endoscopic system to achieve the goal of video-rate spectral endoscopy.
Linearized phase modulated microwave photonic link based on integrated ring resonators
Authors: Liu Gaojian , Daulay Okky , Tan Qinggui , Yu Hongxi , Marpaung David
Published: November 2020

An on-chip linearization method for phase modulated microwave photonic link based on integrated ring resonators is proposed. By properly tailoring the phase and amplitude of optical carrier band and second-order sidebands, the third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) components can be suppressed. Theoretical analysis are taken and a proof-of-concept experiment is carried out. Experimental results demonstrate that IMD3 is suppressed by 21.7 dB. When the noise of the link is properly optimized, an SFDR of 112.7 dB·Hz2/3 can be achieved. This opens the possibility of integrating linearization into a functional photonic integrated circuit.

Published: November 2020

Unternehmen müssen immer höheren Umweltanforderungen gerecht werden. Ein vermehrter Einsatz von Informationstechnologien (IT) und Informationssystemen (IS), sowie deren Einbeziehung in Nachhaltigkeitsinitiativen können dabei einen großen Beitrag leisten. Um Manager dabei zu unterstützen, haben wir Literatur analysiert und Green IT und Green IS Maßnahmen identifiziert und nach Umsetzbarkeit und ökologischen Benefits kategorisiert. Wir stellen insbesondere schnell umsetzbare Maßnahmen mit hohen ökologischen Benefits vor (Quick Wins), von denen viele einen direkten Bezug zu Nutzung und Management von Hardware haben und daher als Green IT-Maßnahmen kategorisiert werden können. Es wird deutlich, dass diese Maßnahmen als erste Schritte hin zu einer langfristigen Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie, welche die organisationsinterne sowie -übergreifende Nutzung von IT und IS beinhaltet, abzielt. Aufgrund der Diversität von Unternehmen stellen die Ergebnisse jedoch keine Universallösung dar, sondern müssen den Charakteristika des jeweiligen Unternehmens entsprechend bewertet und angepasst werden.

Authors: Alberto Jorge A. , Mignone Aníbal M. , Arce Guillermo A. , Lopez Silvina
Published: November 2020

Esta investigación analiza la dinámica y evolución del uso del suelo en la periferia de los aglomerados Gran Resistencia y Gran Corrientes en el siglo XXI. Para ello, se considera la aplicación de geoindicadores que, desde la concepción geográfica y sistémica, permiten proporcionar herramientas para comprender las raíces históricas, la situación actual y la evolución físico-social de las ciudades, a fin de reconocer la tendencia y dinámica del uso del suelo, además de proyectar y evaluar los aspectos socio-ambientales. El marco de análisis dominante se basa en el principio de causalidad (marco Impulso–Estado–Respuesta), ya que se considera que las actividades humanas ejercen presión sobre el ambiente y cambian las características cualitativas y cuantitativas de los recursos. Se trabaja con fuentes bibliográficas, cartográficas y estadísticas que permiten reconocer los fenómenos antes mencionados.

Authors: Cardoso María Mercedes , Carñel Griselda , Finelli Norma Beatriz
Published: November 2020

El grado de cobertura y acceso al servicio de salud es indicativo de diferencias en el desarrollo territorial. Los 55 municipios que conforman el área de estudio son representativos de las distintas regiones de la provincia de Santa Fe. Con el objetivo de realizar un diagnóstico territorial del sistema de salud, se recurre a un tratamiento cuantitativo de datos y al análisis a través del Sistema de Información Geográfica (SIG). La distribución espacial de los diferentes parámetros del sistema de salud presenta notorias desigualdades regionales, poniendo en cuestión el grado de ajuste de este servicio público asistencial a los principios de eficiencia y equidad socio-espacial. Como contribución para la gestión de políticas públicas, se identifica una concentración de efectores de salud y áreas de mayor accesibilidad a los centros de salud en los municipios más poblados de los departamentos de Rosario y La Capital, mientras que, en otros menos poblados, se evidencian importantes carencias.
Territorialización y desterritorialización del modelo de agronegocios en América del Sur
Authors: Deon Joaquín Ulises
Published: November 2020

El desastre humanitario y ambiental de las últimas tres décadas (1990, 2000 y 2010) provocado por el modelo agroindustrial ha implicado dos grandes alternativas socioproductivas que consolidaron dos modelos políticos y económicos que se enfrentan territorial y públicamente: el Modelo de Agronegocios, que ya lleva millones de hectáreas ganadas con iguales estrategias del modelo agroindustrial; y, no alineado a este (Gras y Hernandez 2013:3) y emergente como modelo alternativo-societal, el Modelo Agroecológico y de autonomía/soberanía alimentaria (Such, 2012), con toda su dinámica de movimientos sociales, asociada en Sudamérica. Este último modelo en construcción ha ganado sendas batallas desterritorializando al Agronegocio, pero este último ha modificado su accionar para reterritorializarse de la mano de la (re)neoliberalización del Conosur. Se propone aquí describir y analizar los conflictos entre estos modelos a partir de metodologías de investigación, acción, fuentes informativas y balances empresariales, notas periodísticas, ordenanzas y leyes, entre otras, buscando responder a la pregunta ¿Cómo se territorializan y tensionan estos modelos en Sudamérica y particularmente en Córdoba, Argentina?
Managing Multiculturalism in Islamic Higher Education: A Case Study at UIN Sunan Kalijaga
Authors: Sibawaihi
Published: November 2020

Multiculturalism has been a behaviour practiced in higher education in the effort to face and adapt to globalization. To identify how extent does a higher education institution manage multiculturalism, then ideologies adopted in promoting equality among different groups and strategies applied in paying more attention to underrepresented are identified. The study aims at investigating how multiculturalism has been managed at UIN Sunan Kalijaga by highlighting these two aspects. This is a qualitative study using case study methods. Descriptive analysis was used to seek comprehensive multiculturalism-related knowledge at the university. This research concludes that in promoting equality among different groups, the university adopts Islam, Pancasila, and humanism as its ideologies. As for the strategies applied in paying more attention to underrepresented, they are emphasizing professionalism and proportionality in leadership; realizing the university’s strategic position by opening centres for studies on multiculturalism including by pioneering the establishment of a centre for disabilities and redefining the religious texts dealing with marginal groups; and redesigning curriculum by incorporating the values of multiculturalism in lectures and making multiculturalism a course subject.

Authors:   Odessa National Medical University, Ukraine, Sytniс P.A.
Published: November 2020

The aim of the study was to assess the state of microbiocenosis of the reproductive system in women with purulent inflammation of the pelvic organs. Patients and methods. The survey was conducted during 2012–2015 at the Municipal Clinical Hospital №1 in the city of Odessa (Ukraine). The study involved 27 women with verified purulent inflammation of the pelvic organs. The average age of patients was 41.3±1.2 years. Bacteriological analysis was performed in the clinical laboratory of the Municipal Clinical Hospital №1. The analysis was conducted using classic techniques with the elaboration of antibiotic-gram. The species composition of microorganisms isolated from abscesses, blood, purulent separation, drainage and postoperative wounds was obtained and studied in 27 patients during surgery and daily during the first week hospital stay. Results. It is shown that among septic diseases of the pelvic organs in patients with purulent dominated tubo-ovarian tumor (9 cases or 33.3%), pyosalpinx with perforations (33.3%). It is found that most often at the time of surgery wounds inoculated Staphylococcus epidermidis (66.7%), Staphylococcus saprophyticus (29.6%), as well as E. coli. (29.6%). Less common are inoculated bacteria like Streptococcus fecalis (14.8%), Enterobacter aeruginosa (3.7%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (37%). In 40.7% of patients there were microbial associations of different composition, mainly represented by staphylococci and E. coli. It is shown that on the second day of the postoperative period bacteriological crops were negative, indicating the adequacy of the applied antibiotic treatment. Conclusion. Already on the second day postoperative bacteriological crops were negative, indicating the adequacy of the applied antibiotic. The results allow us to recommend the use of a basic combination therapy protected penicillins, ensuring the elimination of a wide spectrum of pathogens, including anaerobes, and doxycycline that the first two days of hospital stay administered parenterally. After lowering body temperature below 37.5°C and normalization leykohramy a transition to the use of oral antibiotics. We believe that the treatment of PID preference should be given antibiotic combination, while for the diagnosis of chlamydia should use highly specific methods that provide the least amount of false positives (PCR DNA combined with the sowing and the subsequent direct microscopy). What is important is a careful dose and duration of antibiotics and purpose of avoiding situations where patients with PID prescribed instead of causal treatment not justified pathogenetic therapy (immunomodulators, enzymes, adaptogens, etc.).The prospects of further studies related to the assessment of the dynamics of the content of acute-phase proteins in septic diseases of the pelvic organs. Key words: pelvic inflammation disease, microbiocenosis, diagnostics.

Introduction. Stroke is a common vascular disease encountered in the work of a practitioner. Despite this, his differentiation is difficult. This is due to a variety of diseases that can be a “mask” for stroke. These are neurological diseases other than vascular (brain tumors, epilepsy), head injuries and a number of metabolic disorders (fluctuations in glucose, electrolytes). Aim. This work aims to approximate the differentiation of this common disease entity. Case reports show both clinical view and diagnostic difficulties. Description of the cases. Case 1. The patient 59 years old treated for bipolar disorder, hypertension and alcohol abuse. Case 2. The patient 68 years old treated for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, cholecystolithiasis – cholecystectomy. Conclusion. Stroke is a significant clinical and social problem both in Poland and in the world. Despite this, its diagnostics and especially differentiation is difficult. When analyzing the case of each patient with suspected sudden CNS vascular disease, all of them should be remembered. It should also be borne in mind that differential diagnosis cannot delay specific treatment for stroke.

Tatyana Tolstaya’s Automyth
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Bryzgalova M. D.
Published: November 2020

The article analyses the character of the automyth, created by T. Tolstaya, and its dependence on the creative roles, chosen by the writer (journalist, professor, TV-presenter, blogger). Common features of the writer’s automyth and its particular components, which vary according to the chosen creative role, are revealed. As a journalist, Tatyana Tolstaya creates an image of a harsh, contemptuous writer, who expresses her opinion dogmatically. This image has a major impact on her literary reputation and remains in the following creative roles, bur becomes more variable and multiple. In the TV-program “School for Scandal” Tatyana Tolstaya appears to be, on the one side, arrogant, contemptuous and rude, and on the other side, truly concerned about her interlocutor. However, the writer is interested in daily routine and meanwhile she is concerned with questions of the world order, which subsequently will be important for her autobiographical heroine. In blogs (on Facebook and LiveJournal) the writer’s image is equally ambivalent: on the one side, she exists in everyday life, but also sees the worlds, which adjoin the ordinary reality, and interacts with them. On the other side, her image is sarcastic and openly provocative. As a professor, Tatyana Tolstaya has no orientation to negative perception, which comes naturally to this social role. The analysis concludes that the automyth construction is not only an important part of the writer’s creative strategy, but also a way to create the new prose, which is autofictional.

The Regional Identity of Serfs in Their Petitions to Emperor Paul I
Authors: Moriakov Yerofei
Published: November 2020

This article studies serf ideas about their regions at the turn of the nineteenth century. Paul I’s reforms changed Russian realities, especially affecting serfs, who became true imperial subjects and found new hope that landlord oppression was going to decrease. Although serf complaints about their masters remained formally prohibited, Paul himself examined more than a hundred during his reign. The author aims to reveal how serfs described their regions in petitions. In this article, serf regional identity in eighteenth-century Russia is examined for the first time. The study refers to published and unpublished materials from the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts and the Russian State Historical Archive, which contain legal proceedings on serf petitions filed to Paul I in 1797. That year saw a phenomenal increase in peasant unrest, as well as in serf petitions to the monarch. Entire communities often took part in drafting complaints. This study uses methods from regional history, including the analysis of mental maps, ideas about the region, and territorial identity. The author studies the structure of addresses in petitions, serf ideas about the administrative and territorial structure of the Russian Empire, and their reaction to Paul I’s provincial reform. The author also analyses how peasants described the world outside of their place of residence, developed their regional identity, and constructed collective memory. Additionally, the author identifies seven complaints whose authors were worried about the fate of their region. They represented the interests of historical regions and not administrative-territorial units. The author concludes that serfs considered themselves residents of a unified space meant for everyone under the rule of the emperor, not just for an autonomous estate.

This article examines various practices of settlement (collectively termed водворения in Russian historical sources) used by peasants looking to live in Siberia between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The question of where exactly to settle in Siberia was of vital importance to peasants, as making the wrong decision could undermine their wellbeing and force them to return. The government introduced special regulations concerning the allotment of places for migrants: peasants could either found a new village or join an existing one (so-called old resident (Rus. старожильческие) villages). The regulations had both advantages and disadvantages, and the difficulties that were often encountered in the process of settlement, as well as other factors, brought about semi-illegal and illegal practices in solving the problem. The search for an appropriate place to live was complicated by a number of issues, including the lack of land in areas most suitable for living in Siberia, unauthorised settlements, and corruption among local officials. These issues provided fertile ground for conflicts and for violations of established rules. The article examines these aspects of peasant settlement and the relations that formed as a result. The understanding of challenges that peasants faced in the region will ensure an accurate evaluation of large-scale peasant settlement beyond the Urals during the period in question. The study is based on the historical-genetic method and the institutional approach, which are used to reveal settlement practices. The author concludes that there was a variety of ways in which decisions on settlement in particular places were taken, determining the reasons behind the emergence of semi-illegal and illegal solutions.
Bibliotekundervisningens fremtid – nytt fokus på metodikk og digitalisering
Authors: Grote Michael , Faber Hege Charlotte
Published: November 2020

I løpet av de siste årene har både fakulteter og universitetsbibliotek i Norge begynt å tilby tverrfaglige kurs for ph.d.-kandidater, og nye nettbaserte ressurser gir informasjon om diverse arbeidsverktøy og metodikk som er relevant i forskerutdanningen. Parallelt med dette har den tradisjonelle bibliotekundervisningen forandret seg: Gjennom å åpne bibliotekkurs for nye emner som akademisk skriving, akademisk redelighet og datahåndtering, blir begrepet «informasjonskompetanse» utvidet og nye undervisningsformer utprøvd. I tillegg er målgruppen for ph.d.-kurs på bibliotekene svært heterogen: Det finnes store forskjeller angående metoder og arbeidsmåter mellom fakulteter, fag, fagdisipliner og prosjekter, og prosjektenes faglige spesialisering og tverrfaglighet øker behovet for skreddersydde svar.

Både de nye læringsområdene og behovet for individuell veiledning utfordrer tradisjonelle konsepter for bibliotekundervisning, som gjerne har vært generaliserende og instruksjonsbasert. Utfordringen med målgruppens faglige heterogenitet besvares med ph.d.-kurs i «overførbare ferdigheter» («transferable» eller «generic skills») og forsøk på å finne fagovergripende standarder for nøkkelkompetanser som søk, litteraturkartlegging eller skriving av akademiske tekster. De nye temaene i bibliotekenes ph.d.-undervisning som skriveprosess, arbeidsflyt og etiske problemstillinger kan ikke ivaretas gjennom instruksjonsbaserte læringsformer. Men også kurstilbudene i overførbare ferdigheter møter utfordringer: Overføring av kunnskap og konkretisering av generaliserte arbeidsteknikker krever rom for praktisk arbeid med individuelle prosjekter i bibliotekundervisningen. Foredraget viste forskjellige eksempler for studentaktive læringsformer gjennom digitalt støttet undervisningsmetodikk. Ved hjelp av nettressursen www.phdontrack.net kan ph.d.-kandidatene selvstendig tilegne seg generalisert informasjon, mens ph.d.-undervisningen kan fokusere på praktisk arbeid med de individuelle forskningsprosjektene.

DESIGUALDADE RACIAL E EDUCAÇÃO: UMA ANÁLISE ESTATÍSTICA DAS POLÍTICAS AFIRMATIVAS NO ENSINO SUPERIOR
Authors: FERREIRA NARA TORRECILHA
Published: November 2020

RESUMO: A partir dos anos 2000, começaram a ser implantadas políticas afirmativas no ensino superior brasileiro, visando a ampliação do acesso da população negra a esse nível de ensino, bem como a diminuição das desigualdades raciais. A Lei nº 12.711/2012 determinou a adoção da política afirmativa a todas as instituições federais de ensino superior. O presente trabalho propõe a reflexão acerca dessas políticas afirmativas, visando a elaboração de uma análise crítica em relação aos seus resultados, respondendo a seguinte questão: as políticas afirmativas implementadas no ensino superior público brasileiro ajudam a ampliar o acesso à população negra? A pesquisa realizou um rastreamento de políticas afirmativas implementadas e análises de correlação e regressão linear múltipla para avaliar a efetividade das políticas afirmativas raciais, considerando a ampliação do acesso ao ensino superior à população negra.

RESUMO: A efetivação do direito à educação do campo para as comunidades campesinas compreende grandes desafios, os quais perpassam desde os aspectos pedagógicos até a infraestrutura. Em função desses desafios, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo apresentar a realidade de três escolas do campo localizadas no Noroeste Fluminense, estado do Rio de Janeiro. Concretamente, analisamos as condições infraestruturais dessas escolas, com base em três categorias analíticas: infraestrutura arquitetônica; infraestrutura básica; e equipamentos. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa está pautada no enfoque qualitativo de caráter exploratório. O processo de coleta de dados aconteceu no período entre 2015 e 2019, por meio da observação-participante, em decorrência das vivências pedagógicas realizadas nas três escolas. Os dados coletados a partir dessas vivências foram sistematizados em um diário de campo e, posteriormente, analisados com base nas políticas públicas de educação. Enquanto principais resultados da pesquisa, evidenciamos a negligência do poder público no cumprimento dos padrões mínimos de infraestrutura das escolas. Na sequência, tal poder utiliza o argumento da precarização, enquanto justificativa, para colocar em prática uma política criminosa de fechamento de escolas do campo. Essa política não é um fenômeno isolado do contexto estudado, reflete, portanto, a realidade nacional.

Abstract This study analyzes the temporal variability of seasonal and annual rainfall in the Tafna watershed (Northwest Algeria), using a homogeneous monthly rainfall database from 17 stations of 46 years of observation (1970-2015). Possible trends in seasonal and annual variations in rainfall were detected using the innovative trend analysis (ITA), which identifies trends in the low, medium and high values of a series. The results obtained indicate that seasonal rainfall showed a decreasing trend in winter and spring, while increasing trend is detected in summer and autumn. Low and high values categories are the most affected by the decrease in winter, while for spring it is the medium and high values, which are affected. In addition, spring showed the greatest decrease in arithmetic average and standard deviation. On the other hand, summer and autumn, present a growing trend affecting the low and high values, while in autumn, these are the medium and high values. Summer recorded the maximum increase in arithmetic average and standard deviation, and may present a flooding risk in future. Annually, a decreasing trend dominate. Most stations are marked by a decrease in their annual arithmetic means and standard deviation.

Abstract The use of technology and planning in agricultural production is essential in Northeastern Brazil, which is the region of the country that most suffers from water shortage. For the best irrigation management, it is necessary to know the potential evapotranspiration rate for water control in order to increase productivity. There are several direct and indirect methods for estimating evapotranspiration, but the standard method recommended by the United Nations Agriculture Organization (FAO) is the Penman-Monteith (PETpm) method because it has higher accuracy than other methods. However, it is a difficult method to be used due to the need for a large number of meteorological elements. In this context, the objective of this study was to estimate potential evapotranspiration by the Penman-Monteith method in the micro-region of Baixo Parnaíba in Maranhão state using artificial neural networks. Agro-meteorological data were collected daily over 34 years, from 1984 to 2017, and these data were obtained from the NASA/POWER website. Subsequently, liquid radiation and potential evapotranspiration were calculated by the Penman-Monteith standard method (1998). To predict potential daily evapotranspiration, the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) was chosen, which is a traditional Artificial Neural Network. The period that presented a higher evapotranspiration index was the same one that showed precipitation with a lower volume and higher temperatures. The artificial neural network model that best adapted to estimate PETpm was MLP 2-5-1. It is concluded that artificial neural networks estimate with accuracy and precision the Penman-Monteith daily potential evapotranspiration of the Lower Parnaiba in Maranhão, and potential evapotranspiration can be estimated by the Penman-Monteith method using neural networks with inputs of air temperatures.

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to morphometrically evaluate the ruminal mucosa and ruminal fluid characteristics of Santa Inês sheep fed different levels of spineless cactus as a replacement for Tifton grass hay. A total of 32 intact male Santa Inês sheep, approximately 180 days old and with a mean weight of 32.0±1.6kg, were studied in a completely randomized design with four treatments and eight replicates. The morphometric measurements evaluated in the ruminal epithelium (papilla height and surface area) were significantly affected (P< 0.05) by supplementation of the diet with spineless cactus, and these effects showed increasing linear trends. Evaluations of the ruminal fluid also showed a significant increasing linear effect (P< 0.05) for ammonia and a quadratic effect for microbial protein. The inclusion of spineless cactus in the sheep diet affects the ruminal epithelium morphology, including the papilla height and surface area, and favors the absorption process in the rumen. The diet containing higher levels of spineless cactus led to maximum microbial protein production. These results characterize spineless cactus as a feasible alternative for feeding sheep during periods of drought, when the typical food source is scarce.

ABSTRACT Canine parvovirosis is a high mortality disease with acute clinical picture. However, there are few available resources to help stablish prognosis accurately. This study aimed to determine the prognostic threshold values for vital and hematological parameters of dogs naturally infected by the Carnivore protoparvovirus 1 (CPV). A retrospective study of 103 canine parvovirosis cases was carried out. Twenty seven percent of these (28/103) died, 96% (27/28) of which within the first four days of hospitalization. Deceased animals had significantly higher median values for heart (HR) and respiratory (f) rates, as well as significantly lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) than survivors. Severely leukopenic animals (<1,000 cells/μL), had a significantly higher mortality rate (68%, n=13) compared to that of other patients (P<0.0007). Animals with at least two of the following findings: severe hypotension (SBP< 90mmHg), tachycardia (HR > 150 bpm) and leukopenia, represented 34% (34/101) of the cases and had a survival rate of 29% (10/34), while animals with at most one of these parameters represented 66% (67/101) and had a survival rate of 94% (63/67). The presence of two or three abnormal parameters was significantly related to the higher death risk among dogs with parvovirosis (P<0.0001).
