The article reveals the content of the term “pedagogical feedback” and describes the author’s experience of developing students’ feedback literacy in foreign language classes during peer assessment of students’ monologues on the Flipgrid platform. The scientific originality of the study involves justifying the potential of using peer assessment as a tool of developing feedback literacy among university students on the condition that a feedback loop is created and introductory training is conducted. The research findings are as follows: the author describes teacher and student roles in the development of feedback literacy, clarifies the feedback literacy model (D. Boud, D. Carless) in relation to foreign language teaching, summarizes the experience of organizing students’ feedback activity involving giving and receiving feedback in a foreign language when assessing peers’ monologues on the Flipgrid platform.
Balkan Migration Crises and Beyond
Authors: Krasteva Anna
Published: October 2021

This article has a threefold aim. First, to create a typology of Balkan migration crises. Second, to reflect on how migration is theorized in a crisis situation by analyzing the competing conceptual clusters and proposing new ones. Third, to measure the ratio between the region’s crisis and anti-crisis potential in the field of migration in regard both to agency and policies. The article is structured in four parts. The first part reconstructs the conceptual history of “crisis” and its affirmation as the hegemonic discourse of contemporary times. The second part introduces temporality as a theoretical zoom that illuminates a different migration profile depending on whether we are observing it in a short-term, mid-term, or long-term perspective. The third part presents a new typology of Balkan migration crises based on different criteria. It structures Balkan migration crises into two clusters: real and constructed. The article seeks to answer the question of why, given the abundance of real refugee and migration crises, new ones are constructed. The fourth part goes beyond the crisis and analyzes the migration and development nexus as a major policy innovation. The conclusion offers a comparative analysis of the diverse Balkan migration crises.

The article summarizes the experience of Ukraine’s participation in international academic mobility on the example of undergraduate higher medical education. Analysis of the archival documents in the second half of the 20th century revealed two types of student exchange programs: introductory internships on the basis of clinical and medical institutions of Ukraine and European countries, under the guidance of an international group of teachers; labor introductory practice – exchange of student construction teams who got acquainted with the health care system of the host country and worked in hospitals and medical camps during the summer holidays. From the beginning of the 21st century, international mobility students in the Ukrainian medical universities (undergraduate medical education) have been studying at the following programs: 1) educational practice based on interuniversity cooperation agreements; 2) student exchanges organized by the International Federation of Medical Students Associations; 3) interuniversity international agreements on long-term (with credit transfer) and short-term exchange programs. The number of these students at the level of undergraduate medical education is increasing, but insignificantly compared to foreign students from Europe, Asia, Africa who receive undergraduate medical education on a permanent basis (as of 2018 – more than 23 thousand). Based on the obtained results, the general positive prospects and directions of the development of international academic mobility of medical students in Ukraine are determined: 1) short-term Ukrainian and European international student exchanges, which allow to increase their level of motivation to study, develop individual educational trajectories, expand their level of competence in the field of health care system of different countries; 2) expansion of the semester programs of student academic mobility taking into account the availability of educational programs in English in Ukraine and its lower cost compared to European universities, promising for both “EU students” and “non-EU students” of European universities, who: а) want to expand their experience and competence in the provision of medical services at the primary and secondary levels of health care and the pre-medical sphere; b) study medical management in the field of health care in different countries; c) have problems with tuition fees. Keywords: international academic mobility, undergraduate medical education, student exchange programs.

A competency-based approach to professional training of prospective nurses in the context of rehabilitation care reforms in Ukraine
Authors:   Andriy Krupinski Lviv Medical Academy, Rudakova Natalia
Published: October 2021

In present conditions of turbulent development of scientific and technological progress, reforms of Ukrainian educational system and integration into European educational space, high quality training and professional orientation of medical workers, especially nurses, is highly needed. The baccalaureate nurse should obtain a high level of knowledge and competence in all areas of their work. This is primarily due to the involvement of baccalaureate nurses in extraordinarily complex medical procedures, usage of high-tech equipment in specialized institutions, and independent decision-making related to the implementation of palliative care in health care institutions. Because of these changes, nursing should become an independent medical profession, and one of the prerequisites for this is the modernization and improvement of nursing training programs at the level of a higher education (bachelor and master levels). The article analyzes the research on the development of medical education in the context of reforming the medical field in times of global crisis. The author presents a retrospective analysis of nursing education development in Ukraine in the middle of the 20th –the first half of the 21st century; a parallel is drawn with the existing state qualification requirements and areas of professional training for nurses of different levels of education. The author of the article indicates the necessity of a rational approach to the training of prospective nurses and substantiates the directions of nursing education development in the context of modern health care reform by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. It is argued the importance of developing not only hard skills, but also soft skills of prospective medical workers, especially within the framework of a narrow specialization during the period of study in higher education institutions. Keywords: medical education, rehabilitation support, nursing, competence, educational reforms.

During the Majapahit era, the Nagarakrtagama book in the form of kakawin (Old Javanese poetry) was composed by Mpu Prapanca, the kakawin was completed in 1365 AD. no longer exist because it collapsed or the location is not yet known. Using an archaeological-historical approach, this study discusses several sacred buildings mentioned in the Nagarakrtagama whose existence can still be known archaeologically. The analysis was carried out by combining the written data from Nagarakrtagama with archaeological data in the form of temples on the site, to then review some of the features of the temple building. Through the analysis carried out, it can be seen that during the Majapahit era there were at least 3 types of religious buildings based on their religious background, namely Hindu-saiwa, Bauddha, and Shiva-Buddha. The most sacred buildings erected are Hindu-saiwa, it seems that in general, the Majapahit population embraces this religion. There is also a two-religious temple, namely Shiva-Buddha and a pendharmaan temple building that was erected to glorify a deceased figure, while a rare Bauddha sacred building is found in Majapahit. It seems that Buddhism did develop on a limited basis at that time.Key words: Majapahit, Hinduism, Buddha, temple, Mahameru, gods

The status of the African Queen butterfly, Danaus chrysippus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae, Danainae), in the Canary Islands, including an irruption on Fuerteventura
Authors: Smith David A. S.
Published: October 2021

Examination of museum collections and field work have established that Danaus chrysippus once inhabited five of the seven Canary Islands but is probably now confined to La Palma, La Gomera and Fuerteventura. It may be extinct on Gran Canaria and Tenerife. Before colonisation
by the Spanish in the 14th century the food-plants of the relict Canary Island populations were undoubtedly scarce endemic milkweeds (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae). However, on Fuerteventura the recent establishment and subsequent explosive spread of the alien milkweeds Calotropis procera
(especially) and Gomphocarpus fruticosus have enabled a massive irruption of the butterfly over the last 20 years. The butterfly population is presently, as it appears always to have been, polymorphic at two unlinked genetic loci which control its colour and are under strong selection.
In the African Humid Period of the Holocene, 14,000–5,000 years ago, the Sahara Desert region was green and the island populations were in close proximity to those of North Africa. Thus, there is no evidence that the Canary Island populations of the butterfly have been subject to Founder
Effects or prolonged bottlenecks – as is so often the case with isolated island populations. It is suggested that the relict island populations have been periodically introgressed from North Africa and the Cape Verde Islands. There is insufficient evidence to support subspecific status
(as D. chrysippus kanariensis Fruhstorfer, 1898) for the present dark-bodied butterflies from the Canary Islands (and St. Helena).
Luffia lapidella (Goeze, 1783) (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) proved to be the host of Choeras gielisi van Achterberg (Braconidae: Microgastrinae), new to Britain

Published: October 2021

Choeras gielisi is recorded from Britain for the first time, on the basis of two female and two male specimens reared solitarily from sexual and parthenogenetic forms of Luffia lapidella at different sites. These rearings, the first with clear host determination, provide
strong evidence that the type specimen of C. gielisi had not been a parasitoid of the terrestrial caddisfly Enoicyla pusilla, as had been supposed from inadequate evidence at the time of its description.

Longitudinal Stability and Change in Time-Frequency Measures from an Oddball Task During Adolescence and Early Adulthood
Authors: Malone Steve , Harper Jeremy , Iacono William G.
Published: October 2021

Time-frequency representations of electroencephalographic signals lend themselves to granular analysis of cognitive and psychological processes. Characterizing developmental trajectories of time-frequency measures can thus inform us about the development of the processes involved, as well as correlated traits and behav- iors. We decomposed EEG activity in a large sample of individuals (N = 1692; 917 females) assessed at approximately three-year intervals from the age of 11 to their mid-20s. Participants completed an oddball task that elicits a robust P3 response. Principal component analysis served to identify the primary dimen- sions of time-frequency energy. Component loadings were virtually identical across assessment waves. A common and stable set of time-frequency dynamics thus characterized EEG activity throughout this age range. Trajectories of change in component scores suggest that aspects of brain development reflected in these components comprise two distinct phases, with marked decreases in component amplitude throughout much of adolescence followed by smaller yet significant rates of decreases into early adulthood. Although the structure of time-frequency activity was stable throughout adolescence and early adulthood, we observed subtle change in component loadings as well. Our findings suggest that striking developmental change in event-related potentials emerges through gradual change in the magnitude and timing of a stable set of dimensions of time-frequency activity, illustrating the usefulness of time-frequency representations of EEG signals and longitudinal designs for understanding brain development. In addition, we provide proof of concept that trajectories of time-frequency activity can serve as potential endophenotypes for childhood externalizing psychopathology and alcohol use in adolescence and early adulthood.
Addition for Measuring the Ability to Understand Regularity and to Extrapolate
Authors: Fujisawa Ippei , Kanai Ryota
Published: October 2021

In this paper, we discuss the possibility that elementary arithmetic, such as addition and other arithmetic operations, would be useful as a benchmark for measuring the ability to extrapolate which is considered important for the realization of general-purpose intelligence. Understanding addition can be regarded as performing addition of arbitrary digits correctly by memorizing and applying the rules of addition of single digits, and by learning the rules of carrying. We propose a benchmark in which we prepare a small training dataset that is considered sufficient to reveal the algebra of addition, and measure the accuracy using a test dataset that requires large multi-digit operations. Our benchmark has the following advantages over the datasets usually used in recognition tasks and reinforcement learning. Its simple structure makes it easy to generate datasets, adjust and extend the difficulty, identify inductive biases, and allows for discussion from a theoretical perspective in computer science like program synthesis. We hope that the elementary arithmetic benchmark will reveal functions missing in current AI systems, and also provide a good starting point for developing them. In particular, we speculate that the use of the knowledge may be required for a system to compute correctly for arbitrary digits. Finally, based on these insights, we propose a future direction for the development of systems with extrapolation capabilities.
Potency density tensor inversion of complex body waveforms with time-adaptive smoothing constraint

Published: October 2021

Large earthquakes are often accompanied by complex fault rupture, but it has been difficult to reliably estimate such a complex rupture process with conventional waveform analysis tools due to modelling errors originating from limited accuracy of the fault geometry. Recently, a potency density tensor inversion method has been developed to solve this problem; allowing any types of faulting mechanism on an assumed model plane, the method replaces the modelling error of fault orientation with that of fault location, which is insensitive in teleseismic waveforms with low spatial resolution. The method has successfully unveiled earthquake source processes with geometrically complex fault rupture. However, the method imposes the same intensity of smoothing constraint on all the basis slip components irrespective of possible changes of slip direction during the rupture. This leads to excessive smoothing to a slip component with large amplitude, which results in obscuring the rupture process. In this study, we propose a time-adaptive smoothing constraint that dynamically adjusts the smoothness intensity inversely proportional to the amplitude for each basis slip function. Through a numerical experiment assigning an input model involving a drastic change in the focal mechanism (reverse, strike-slip and normal faulting) during the rupture, we find that the time-adaptive smoothing constraint solves the problem of excessive smoothing to the dominant slip component, and the spatiotemporally non-uniform rupture episodes with different focal mechanisms are successfully reproduced. To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the time-adaptive smoothing constraint, we apply the method to the teleseismic body waves of the 2002 Denali fault and the 2008 Wenchuan earthquakes, which involve complex fault ruptures with changing focal mechanisms. We find that the developed method well captures the focal mechanism transition in space and time from reverse to strike-slip faulting during the ruptures of the 2002 Denali fault and the 2008 Wenchuan earthquakes. Even though these source models are built using only the teleseismic P waveforms with simple model fault geometry that is represented by a horizontal rectangular plane, they well explain the complex observed waveforms and agree with characteristics of source processes obtained in previous studies using seismic and geodetic data as well as field surveys. The potency density tensor inversion method with time-adaptive smoothing constraint is a powerful tool to analyze earthquake rupture processes with complex fault geometries involving different faulting types.

How infant-directed actions enhance infants’ attention, learning, and exploration: Evidence from EEG and computational modeling
Authors: Meyer Marlene , van Schaik Johanna E , Poli Francesco , Hunnius Sabine
Published: October 2021

When teaching infants new actions, parents tend to modify their movements. Infants prefer these infant-directed actions (IDAs) over adult-directed actions and learn well from them. Yet, it remains unclear how parents’ action modulations capture infants’ attention. Typically, making movements larger than usual is thought to draw attention. Recent findings, however, suggest that parents might exploit movement variability to highlight actions. We hypothesized that variability in movement amplitude rather than higher amplitude is capturing infants’ attention during IDAs. Using EEG, we measured 15-month-olds’ brain activity while they were observing action demonstrations with normal, high, or variable amplitude movements. Infants’ theta power (4-5Hz) in fronto-central channels was compared between conditions. Frontal theta was significantly higher, indicating stronger attentional engagement, in the variable compared to the other conditions. Computational modelling showed that infants’ frontal theta power was predicted best by how surprising each movement was. Thus, surprise induced by variability in movements rather than large movements alone engages infants’ attention during IDAs. Infants with higher theta power for variable movements were more likely to perform actions successfully and to explore objects novel in the context of the given goal. This highlights the brain mechanisms by which IDAs enhance infants’ attention, learning, and exploration.

Published: October 2021

This paper aims to find out how to apply rewards and punishments in improving employee performance in the Development Administration of  West Aceh Regional Secretariat. The problem is focused on the provision of Rewards and Punishments, which have not gone well. To approach this problem, I used the theoretical references from Nnaji-Ihedinmah and Egbunik. The data were collected through a descriptive approach using interview, observation and documentation techniques and analyzed qualitatively. The results of this study are that the application of rewards in the Development Administration section has not been carried out properly. The provision of rewards was not given since there was no budget for giving rewards to employees. The employees only got performance benefits and allowances from existing programs. Rewards in the form of appreciation, neither financial nor non-financial awards were ever given to employees. Thus it can conclude that the employees want the application of these rewards to improve employee performance to be more motivated in doing work. The application of punishment, both in the development administration and during the morning meeting, has been carried out but has not gone well, there were still many employees who do not comply with the regulations that have been made, so it is necessary to carry out a more in-depth evaluation and improve the implementation of the rules more effectively and efficiently.
The Failure of New Political Parties and ID Figures: Nobility of Technocrats in Analysis of Voting Behavior in Jambi
Authors: Muhammad Hatta Abdi , Nopyandri Nopyandri
Published: October 2021

This study aims at analyzing the failure of the Perindo Party, PSI, Garuda Party, and Berkarya Party as new political parties in the 2019 election contestation in Jambi Province. This study was a qualitative descriptive study and data were obtained through observation, interviews, and archival records. After the data was collected, the data were analyzed using interactive model analysis. The results of this study showed that the failure of these four new political parties in Jambi Province was related to the absence of figures that were widely known to the public. The characteristics of local politics which were affected by emotional and primordial ties made political parties adopt the technocrat aristocratic pattern to maintain their existence in the political arena in Jambi Province. The success of political parties in Jambi Province was closely related to public voting behavior that was influenced by the presence of figures with technocrat backgrounds in large parties. It was proven by the existence of old parties because they had famous figures from former officials or state apparatus as well as families of public officials such as Hasan Basri Agus (Golkar), and Nurdin Hamzah family (PAN).

ABSTRAKArtikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa partisipasi dan perilaku pemilih perempuan pada Pemilihan Gubernur (Pilgub) Jawa Barat 2018 di Kelurahan Maleer, Kota Bandung. Penelitian dilakukan secara kualitatif dengan didukung oleh data primer berupa observasi dan wawancara sejumlah narasumber. Data sekunder diperoleh dari pencarian sejumlah referensi, baik melalui buku, jurnal dan data pendukung lainnya. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa meski persentase perempuan dalam ruang publik masih tertinggal dari laki-laki, namun perempuan mulai menunjukkan keaktifannya, dalam hal menempuh pendidikan tinggi, kemasyarakatan maupun kegiatan politik. Ketiganya menjadi faktor utama perempuan dalam berpartisipasi secara politik. Meski tidak menjadi hal dominan, namun konflik antar kelompok pemimpin politik berpengaruh pada partisipasi politik perempuan dalam Pilgub. Dalam hal prilaku pemilih, perempuan di Kelurahan Maleer memilih figur berdasarkan pilihan psikologis dan pilihan rasional. Pilihan psikologis pemilih perempuan pada calon figur didasarkan dari penggunaan media sosial calon gubernur sebagai alat interaksi ke masyarakat. Sedangkan pilihan rasional pemilih perempuan atas dasar melihat pada program/hasil kerja calon gubernur yang merupakan sosok incumbent (sebelumnya sudah pernah menjabat). Perempuan menilai dampak apa yang dia peroleh selama calon gubernur (yang merupakan incumbent) menjabat, dan melihat program-program sebelumnya yang bermanfaat atau tidak untuk dirinya sebagai kaum perempuan.
Patriarchy Canonization: Comparing Women's Political Participation in Matrilineal and Patrilineal Orders in Sumatra, Indonesia.
Authors: Damanik Erond Litno
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this study is to describe a recent comparison of women's political participation based on empirical evidence on the matrilineal and patrilineal orders in West and North Sumatra, respectively. This study was motivated by the low involvement of women in politics in the 2014 and 2019 general elections. The study offers specific insights into kinship order as political allegiance. This is a qualitative research carried out using a pragmatic methodological approach with academic discussions directed at the relationship between kinship and political participation. The results showed that the canonization of Islamic patriarchy in the matrilineal order impacts involution and exclusive women in the domestic arena. Meanwhile, the canonization of Christian patriarchy in the patrilineal order impacts devolution and inclusive women in politics. Therefore, based on this empirical evidence, it is concluded that the kinship system is not a relevant political allegiance.

Published: October 2021

The production of winter wheat varieties, which are characterized by high productivity and sowing qualities of seeds, is one of the ways to improve productivity and gross grain harvest in the region. The current paper has presented data on the productivity, sowing qualities and biological properties of the original seeds of the winter bread wheat varieties ‘Stanichnaya’, ‘Lydia’ and ‘Asket’, grown in the laboratory for primary seed production of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution “ARC “Donskoy”. The purpose of the research was to study the productivity and sowing qualities of the winter bread wheat varieties. Productivity is the main criterion for the value of a variety. It was found that with an average productivity (5.8 t/ha) of the variety ‘Stanichnaya’, the data by the years of 2018–2020 varied from 5.1 to 7.2 t/ha, and for the variety ‘Asket’, at a similar level of average value, the variation ranged from 5.2 to 6.8 t/ha. There was found that 1000-seed weight depended on the variety and climatic conditions, and not only on the cultivation technology. The leader in this indicator was the variety ‘Stanichnaya’, with an average value (44.5g) of 1000-seed weight. The maximum yield of conditioned seeds during the years of research was identified in the varieties ‘Stanichnaya’ (73.5%) and ‘Lydia’ (72.4%); the minimum was in the variety ‘Asket’ (71.7%). There was noted that the germination energy of the varieties ‘Stanichnaya’, ‘Lidiya’ and ‘Asket’ ranged from 88 to 92%. The difference between germination energy and laboratory germination ranged from 5 to 8%. When determining the intensity of the initial growth, it was found that the maximum values of the sprout length and weight of 100 dry sprouts were identified in the variety ‘Stanichnaya’ (11.0 cm and 0.63 g); the smallest values of these traits were identified in the varieties ‘Lydia’ and ‘Asket’. Field germination varied by the varieties from 73 to 82%, deviations of this trait from laboratory germination ranged from 14 to 23%. Over the years of study, for all studied varieties, the sowing qualities of seeds corresponded to GOST R 52325-2005.

Published: October 2021

The current study was carried out on the basis of the Institute of Seed Production and Agrotechnologies, located in the Ryazan Region in 2010–2019, in order to determine the participation share of tillering shoots in the formation of spring wheat productivity in various agro-weather conditions. The objects of the study were the varieties ‘Lada’, ‘Agata’, ‘RIMA’, ‘Maestro’ developed by the Federal Research Agro-Engineering Center VIM. The mean productivity of the studied spring wheat varieties, depending on the level of moisture supply of the growing seasons, had a significant range of 2.20–5.29 t/ha. The mean density of the stems varied from 216 to 620 pcs/m2 among the varieties. The minimum value of 153–253 pcs/m2 was formed under severe drought conditions. When moisture supply improved, the indicator sharply increased in 2.6 times. There has been established that in more humid conditions (HThC 0.98–1.55) the plants were able to realize their potential tillering to a greater extent, the general indicators of tillering among the varieties ranged from 1.06 to 1.23 and 1.63 to 2.11. There was estimated an effect of secondary shoots on productivity, which was 35.2% on average in the trial, and from 10.6% to 48.3% depending on the genotype and environmental conditions. There has been found a shoot formation decrease in 2.4 times of the variety ‘Lada’ under a moisture deficit. There has been determined that the variety ‘RIMA’ had the lowest tillering coefficient for all vegetation periods, and grain weight per a main spike mainly contributed to its productivity. During the moisture deficit periods, the share of the effect of lateral shoots in the variety ‘Agata’ was at the level of mean values, and on 9.9% and 13.1% more than in the varieties ‘Lada’ and ‘RIMA’, respectively. The maximum value of the productivity on the lateral shoots was formed by the variety ‘Maestro’, the productivity share of the secondary shoots during all periods was higher than that of all varieties and amounted to 39.1–48.3%.
Weediness of oil flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) crops depending on the cultivation technologies and seed inoculation in the steppe Crimea
Authors: Gongalo A. A. , Izotov A. M.
Published: October 2021

Weed control is one of the important issues that modern agriculture sets itself, especially in conditions of minimization of production. The purpose of the current study was to comparatively research the effect of direct sowing and the traditional cultivation technology of oil flax when treating seeds with a complex of microbial products on the weediness of agrophytocenosis. The study was carried out in the stationary trial of the FSBSI “Research Institute of agriculture in Crimea” in 2017-2019, in dry conditions of the steppe Crimean Peninsula, on southern low-humus blackearth (chernozem). Weediness of flax crops was estimated by a quantitative method with the determination of the varietal composition of weeds in the phase of full germination and before harvesting. In all variants, in the “herringbone” phase there was applied a tank mixture of herbicides Herbitox, VKR (MCPA 500 g/l) with a rate of 0.5 l/ha + Magnum, VDG (metsulfuron-methyl 600 g/kg) with a rate of 5 g/ha to fight against monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds. There was found that for three years of study, the varietal composition of weeds differed insignificantly for both technologies, but their number under a direct sowing in the phase of full sprouting was in 1.6 times more than in the case with traditional technology. By the phase of full flax ripeness, the number of weeds decreased in 1.3 times using traditional technology and in 2.4 times under a direct sowing, and the difference between technologies was leveled. Seed inoculation had no significant effect on the weediness of the sowing. The conditions of the year had a significant effect on the weed component of the agrophytocenosis.

BACKGROUND: In 2004–2005, an outbreak of impetigo occurred at a correctional facility during a sentinel outbreak of methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Alberta, Canada. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to characterize the group A Streptococcus (GAS) isolates and evaluate whether genomic biomarkers could distinguish between those recovered alone and those co-isolated with S. aureus. METHODS: Superficial wound swabs collected from all adults with impetigo during this outbreak were cultured using standard methods. NGS was used to characterize and compare all of the GAS and S. aureus genomes. RESULTS: Fifty-three adults were culture positive for GAS, with a subset of specimens also positive for MRSA ( n = 5) or methicillin-sensitive S. aureus ( n = 3). Seventeen additional MRSA isolates from this facility from the same time frame (no GAS co-isolates) were also included. All 78 bacterial genomes were analyzed for the presence of known virulence factors, plasmids, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. Among the GAS isolates were 12 emm types, the most common being 41.2 ( n = 27; 51%). GAS genomes were phylogenetically compared with local and public datasets of invasive and non-invasive isolates. GAS genomes had diverse profiles for virulence factors, plasmids, and AMR genes. Pangenome analysis did not identify horizontally transferred genes in the co-infection versus single infections. CONCLUSIONS: GAS recovered from invasive and non-invasive sources were not genetically distinguishable. Virulence factors, plasmids, and AMR profiles grouped by emm type, and no genetic changes were identified that predict co-infection or horizontal gene transfer between GAS and S. aureus.

The aim of this study was to establish the reference intervals for different analytes in peritoneal fluid from Nellore cattle. Samples of the liquid were collected from 50 males and 50 females, from a slaughterhouse in central Brazil. The determination of albumin concentrations; total calcium; Chlorine; alkaline phosphatase; glucose; Potassium; Lactate; Sodium; total protein was carried out in automatic equipment. Values such as A: G ratio: albumin: globulin ratio were performed using mathematical calculation. This is the first description of the reference range of peritoneal fluid in Nellore cattle. The sample size and data distribution indicate that the mean values obtained are representative and can be used for the diagnosis of diseases in this population stratum.
Resolução cirúrgica de fecaloma em Mini Horse: Relato de caso
Authors: Volpe Salomão Vivian , Navarro de Abreu Rogério
Published: October 2021

The presence of fecalomas in horses is related to accidental ingestion of substances such as pieces of rope, bedding, plastic and other materials, taking to an ingestion compaction that can cause obstruction and distension of intestinal loops. It is a common condition that can be found in ponies, mini horses and foals, causing an obstruction, most of the time, in the smaller colon. The present work reports a case of colic syndrome in a 2-year-old Mini Horse, with signs of abdominal discomfort for two days. The physical examination revealed high heart and respiratory rate, hypomotility on auscultation, abdominal distension, pale mucous membranes with the presence of a toxemic halo and pyrexia. Analysis of peritoneal fluid revealed an increase in leukocytes. The blood count identified leukopenia. The animal was subjected an exploratory laparotomy and identified the presence of a fecaloma in the proximal third of the smaller colon and a pelvic flexure retroflexion.

Identification of critical points related to the welfare of animals in auctionAbstract. The Brazilian agribusiness has been showing, annual, its importance in the country's economy, creating jobs and earnings in several sectors, and the auction market is one of them, cus it plays an important role in the commercial field. The animal’s commercialization during auctions raises several questions in relation to animal welfare. Besed on this theme, the purpose of this research was to identify the perception of people participating in auctions regarding the auctioned animals’ welfare. In the research, 91 people who have participated in animal auctions were interviewed, using an online survey contain 17 questions, the first of which were related to information from the participants, like city and dwelling state, type of participation during the auctions. The other questions were related to situations that animals used to face during auctions and asked the participants if they agreed with the statements. The results were tabulated and organized in spread sheet for the purpose of evaluating the coherence of descriptive statistical analyses, the frequency of responses was counted in each item related to the analyzed questions. So, the conclude was that people involved in auctions considered that aspects related to nutrition, health, behavior and environment can influence the welfare of participating animals.

Pulmonary edema is the accumulation of fluid within the lung parenchyma. According to its physiology it can be classified as cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic. The clinical signs involve dyspnea, cough, tachypnea, and alteration of the normal sounds on pulmonary auscultation. In this report, was described a case of a female canine, SRD, 10 years old that initially went to the clinic for coughing. However, after a few days it returned to the emergency room presenting dyspnea. After stabilizing the patient, radiography, ultrasonography, and electrocardiogram were performed, which revealed cardiogenic pulmonary edema due to left heart disease. After the emergency approach, the patient remained hospitalized for a period of 24 hours, after which it was released. Chronic treatment of the heart disease was prescribed and follow-up with a cardiologist every 6 months was requested. Although this is a veterinary emergency, when treated correctly and then solving the underlying cause, the prognosis tends to be favorable.
Tráfico de animais silvestres e seus impactos no meio

Wild animal smuggling is the third most lucrative illegal practice in the world, second only to weapons and drugs trafficking. Several factors contribute to the development of this activity, such as, the socioeconomic conditions of suppliers and intermediaries, lack of environmental education, deficiencies in control methods and agents willing to fight, large number of recipients and high financial profit. The illegal animal trade causes countless damages to various sectors of society, which fosters the loss of taxa causing damage to science, since they are used for research and development of several extremely lucrative substances from which Brazil gets no financial or scientific gain; in addition to the intensive mistreatment that animals suffer in these processes, where only 10% arrives with useful life, and the other 90% are discarded without adherence to biosecurity protocols. Animal trafficking causes unbalance in ecosystems that suffer direct and indirect damage due to changes that impact food chains, evolution and adaptation of these species and the species that interact with them. It also contributes to instability and damage to public health, as a wide range of zoonoses are spread through human-animal contact by pathogens that we have no immunity and no drugs to fight. processes, where only 10% arrives with useful life, and the other 90% are discarded without adherence to biosecurity protocols. Besides all the problems mentioned above, we have the damage to public health as aggravating factors of this illegal activity.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer, but significant differences exist in its incidence in the various anatomical locations. Unusual sites include the axillae, breasts, perianal area, genitalia, palms, and soles the axilla is one of the most sun-protected body sites and represents a rare location at which BCC develops, up to 2014, 70 cases of axillary BCC were reported in 69 patients (4) then in 2017, 6 new cases were reported in a Japanese study out of a total of 333 CBC, probably the real incidence is underestimated because no systematic study of axillary BCC has generally been conducted.
