A simple genetic method to distinguish mule deer and bighorn sheep fecal pellets and its application to detecting bighorn sheep colonization events in California
Authors:   University of California, White Mountain Research Center, Wehausen John
Published: January 2024

Bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) habitat frequently is geographically discontinuous and the metapopulation model fits this species well. Consequently, extinction-colonization dynamics are important and need to be monitored. Much of the conservation history of bighorn sheep, however, was based on a theory that natural colonization is not part of the biology of this species. That theory is not supported by a growing body of evidence that natural colonization of vacant habitat does occur in this species. Here I present a simple PCR test that distinguishes bighorn sheep fecal pellets from those of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) as a useful tool in documenting bighorn sheep occupancy where mule deer are present. I include examples from California of applications of this method to investigate potential colonization events.

Tüm hukuk sistemleri, yetkisiz hareket eden doğrudan temsilcinin üçüncü tarafa karşı sorumlu olmasını gerektirmektedir. Sorumluluk oluşturulurken genel koşullar kabul edilmekle birlikte, yetkisiz temsilcinin sorumluluğunun kapsamına ilişkin farklı yaklaşımlar benimsenmektedir. Hukuk sistemimizde Türk Borçlar Kanununda 47. madde değişen koşullar dikkate alınarak aşamalı sorumluluk rejimini düzenlemektedir. Yetkisiz temsilcinin sorumluluğu üçüncü kişinin iyi niyetini gerektirmektedir. Davanın açıldığı sırada üçüncü kişinin muhatabın yetkilerini bildiği veya bilmesi gerektiği durumlarda temsilcinin sorumluluğu ortadan kalkmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, üçüncü bir taraftan gelen olumlu veya normatif bilginin suçlu ve yetkisiz temsilcinin sorumluluğu üzerindeki etkisine ilişkin farklı sonuçlara varılmaktadır.

Published: January 2024

This article describes a specific approach to organizing the artificial light environment of an office space with a common space. The main criteria of modern lighting systems are given, which must be taken into account when designing. It is proposed to create an energy-efficient system with great functionality to integrate a lighting control module into the existing system, which includes LED lamps with built-in microcontrollers. To control the level of illumination and the color spectrum emitted by the LED lighting device in real time, it is proposed to use a portable small-sized sensor. The system for monitoring and controlling lighting parameters is built using Wi-Fi wireless data transmission technology. The control system will make it possible to carry out point individual adjustment, taking into account the specified operating parameters and user requirements.

Published: January 2024

A DPOC é uma doença respiratória crônica caracterizada por dificuldade em respirar e tosse crônica. Estudos mostram que cerca de 80% dos casos de DPOC são causados pelo tabagismo. Além disso, o tabagismo é um fator de risco importante para o enfisema, uma doença pulmonar que causa danos irreversíveis aos pulmões. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com carácter de estudo descritivo e abordagem qualitativa, em que foi realizada buscas no sistema da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde do Ministério da Saúde, usando os seguintes descritores: Doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica, Saúde do Idoso e  Tabagismo. Inicialmente foram encontrados 315 resultados sem filtros, e posteriormente a aplicação reduziu-se para 34 estudos, e destes, foram lidos os seus títulos resultantes das bases de dados, restando apenas 12 artigos para a amostra na síntese qualitativa final. Mediante as buscas realizadas, verificou-se que o tabagismo é a principal causa de DPOC em todo o mundo. A fumaça do cigarro é composta por mais de 4.000 substâncias tóxicas, incluindo nicotina, monóxido de carbono, alcatrão e gases irritantes. Essas substâncias danificam as estruturas pulmonares, causando inflamação crônica e diminuindo a capacidade dos pulmões de respirar adequadamente. Através dessa revisão de literatura, foi possível verificar que a DPOC é uma doença respiratória crônica e progressiva que, geralmente, se desenvolve ao longo dos anos. Como resultado, é mais comum em pessoas com mais de 40 anos, sendo que 75% dos casos são diagnosticados a partir dos 60 anos.

Abstract. The planetary boundary layer (PBL) is the lowermost part of the troposphere that governs the exchange of momentum, mass and heat between surface and atmosphere. To date, the radiosonde measurements have been extensively used to estimate PBL height (PBLH); suffering from low spatial coverage and temporal resolution, the radiosonde data are incapable of providing a diurnal description of PBLH across the globe. To fill this data gap, this paper aims to produce a temporally continuous PBLH dataset during the course of a day over the global land by applying machine learning algorithms to integrate high-resolution radiosonde measurements, ERA5 reanalysis, and the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) product. This dataset covers the period from 2011 to 2021 with a temporal resolution of 3 h and a horizontal resolution of 0.25∘×0.25∘. The radiosonde dataset contains around 180 million profiles over 370 stations across the globe. The machine learning model was established by taking 18 parameters derived from ERA5 reanalysis and GLDAS as input variables, while the PBLH biases between radiosonde observations and ERA5 reanalysis were used as the learning targets. The input variables were presumably representative regarding the land properties, near-surface meteorological conditions, terrain elevations, lower tropospheric stabilities, and solar cycles. Once a state-of-the-art model had been trained, the model was then used to predict the PBLH bias at other grids across the globe with parameters acquired or derived from ERA5 and GLDAS. Eventually, the merged PBLH can be taken as the sum of the predicted PBLH bias and the PBLH retrieved from ERA5 reanalysis. Overall, this merged high-resolution PBLH dataset was globally consistent with the PBLH retrieved from radiosonde observations in terms of both magnitude and spatiotemporal variation, with a mean bias of as low as −0.9 m. The dataset and related codes are publicly available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6498004 (Guo et al., 2022), and are of significance for a multitude of scientific research endeavors and applications, including air quality, convection initiation, climate, and climate change, to name but a few.
Short Term Experiences in Global Health (STEGH)
Authors: Khan Ahmad , Taboun Omar
Published: January 2024

Short Term Experiences in Global Health (STEGH) are becoming increasingly prevalent, where students and volunteers predominately from high income countries travel to lower income countries to work with local community organizations. Although the benefits of STEGHs have been touted, they have also been increasingly criticized as representing a new form of colonialism and have been shown to harm host communities in a number of ways. Can the enterprise of STEGHs be ethically justified? We argue that STEGHs must incorporate principles of bi-directionality, continuity, cultural humility and decolonization in order to be equitable and sustainable.

Published: January 2024

As a maritime nation, Indonesia considers maritime governance important in all maritime areas. This includes not only vessels sailing in Indonesian territorial waters and routes in Indonesian waters, but also Indonesian-flagged vessels sailing abroad and Indonesian crew sailing abroad. The Strait of Malacca is one of the most dangerous sea lanes in the world and a target for transnational crime. Located between the coastal states of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, to the north of the Indonesian island of Sumatra and to the south of Malaysia, the Malacca Strait is 600 miles long and is a major transit corridor connecting the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea. In the maritime violence ecosystem, there are types of maritime crimes consisting of maritime terrorism, maritime armed crime, and other maritime crimes. Cooperation to combat maritime violence in the Malacca Strait can take the form of cooperation between states, cooperation between NGOs, or cooperation between security sector actors, such as border guards and police, with a focus on prevention and protection. There are several coordinated patrols between Indonesia and other countries to combat maritime violence in the Malacca Strait. For example, bilateral cooperation between Malacca Strait littoral states and user states, to establishing a cooperation framework between Indonesia and the International Maritime Organization that focuses on the issue of maritime threats.

Authors: Triyanti Vitri Renny
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of salinity stress on upland rice and plant height characteristics. This research was conducted on farmer's land in Medan Selayang, Medan City. This study used a randomized block design with 2 factors in 3 replications. The first factor was the upland rice variety (P1= Sigambiri Merah; P2= Inpago-8; P3= Sigambiri Putih; P4= Ramos) and the second factor was the dose of salinity (0, 4, 8, 12 dS/m). Parameters were analyzed using ANOVA and the mean was further tested with 5% DMRT. The results show thatupland rice varieties inpago-8, white sigambiri, and ramos had plant height growth that was significantly different from the red sigambiri variety at the end of the observation (12 WAP). The highest growth was found in the white sigambiri variety of 148.48 cm. Other results also show that giving a salinity dose of 4-12 dS/m caninhibited the height growth of upland rice plants at the age of 8 WAP.

Everyone prepares to protect themselves and their property. The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of this preparation for people living in flood-prone areas. The research was carried out in a vulnerable neighborhood, described as eternally flooded, in the Commune Urbaine d'Antananarivo. This recurring phenomenon raises the issue of the resilience of the resident population of Andohatapenaka and prompts us to ask the following question: Are the behaviors of the inhabitants of the slums moving towards a culture of resilience? The results show that when respondents mention an attitude or behavior in relation to Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), this in no way means that they act as they do, but it is already a step in the direction of a culture of resilience.

The concept of Individuality in Friedrich Meinecke’s Early Work
Authors: Rodrigues da Cunha Marcelo Durão
Published: January 2024

This article investigates the centrality of the concept of individuality in the young Friedrich Meinecke’s theory of history, positing it as a fundamental element shaping Meinecke’s historical conception. To elucidate this position, an analysis is conducted to discern the significance attributed to the principium individuationis at two critical junctures in Meinecke’s early intellectual development: firstly, in his response to the positivist assault on the German historical school, and secondly, in his endeavor to reconceptualize the underpinnings of a revitalized history of ideas between the late 1800s and the initial decade of the twentieth century. By expounding upon these aspects and contextualizing the intellectual evolution in which these ideas emerged, it is argued that the concept of individuality functioned as a theoretical refuge against what Meinecke perceived as the doctrinaire nature of worldviews incompatible with notions of freedom and spontaneity — principles he considered intrinsic to the historical mode of thought.
A educação em solos na Geografia escolar: uma experiência pedagógica com o uso de geotintas no 6º ano
Authors: Leite dos Santos Anderson Felipe
Published: January 2024

A história do surgimento de tintas naturais (tinta de terra) está registrada em cavernas do período paleolítico. Protegidas da ação do tempo, as imagens criadas utilizando tintas naturais e retratando um pouco do cotidiano dos humanos daquela época conservaram-se até os dias atuais. Hoje, as tintas elaboradas com os solos servem para diversas funções, entre elas, a pedagógica, visto que se torna importante pensar em possibilidades para abordar a temática dos solos na Geografia Escolar. Partindo da contextualização posta, este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar uma experiência didático-pedagógica com o uso de tintas do solo na Geografia Escolar como forma de fomentar a importância da abordagem pedológica e promover a popularização da Educação em Solos na escola. Em termos metodológicos, a pesquisa é de natureza empírica e qualitativa, tendo como modalidade principal o relato de experiência. A atividade foi desenvolvida com os 27 estudantes da turma do 6º ano da Escola Municipal Tiradentes, localizada em Campina Grande-PB, durante a pesquisa de mestrado do autor ao longo do 2º bimestre letivo de 2022, entre abril e junho. Como resultado, constatou-se o entusiasmo e o despertar para o processo de construção do conhecimento dos estudantes envolvidos na atividade proposta. As diferentes paisagens naturais e artificias produzidas nas telas pelos participantes os fizeram refletir sobre diversos meios geográficos, indo além da linguagem verbal e conceitual. No mais, destaca-se a importância de pensar em estratégias didático-pedagógicas a serem desenvolvidas sobre a temática dos solos, em razão de esse conteúdo muitas vezes aparecer de forma resumida nos livros didáticos de Geografia.
Re-Examining Working Capital Management and Firm Performance Nexus: Does Investment Policy Matter?
Authors: Hasan Muhammad Amin , Sajid Ali , Ghouri Aman Abbas , Khan Talal Ahmed
Published: January 2024

Financial crises and macroeconomic imbalances have recently posed serious challenges to firms operating in developing countries. Thus, firms require efficient working capital management (WCM) to remain profitable. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of WCM on firm performance (FPR) of ‘Food & Personal Care Industry’ of Pakistan using balanced panel data of 22 listed firms for the period of 2006 to 2022. Further, the study estimates the moderating effects of investment policy (IP) on WCM- FPR relationship. The study has used return on assets to measure FPR, while WCM is measured by a comprehensive measure of cash conversion cycle (CCC) comprising accounts receivable period (ARP), accounts payable period (APP), and inventory period (ITP). The findings reveal that CCC and ITP have a significant negative association with FPR, suggesting shorter CCC and ITP increase FPR. However, ARP and APP are positively associated with FPR, suggesting efficient utilization of ACR and delay in payment bills may increase FPR. Moreover, the results show that IP negatively moderates the impact of all components (except APP) of WCM on FPR. These results imply that a conservative IP mitigates the adverse impact of liberal WCM practice on FPR. The study also discussed the useful implications for managers and policymakers along with limitations of the study in the conclusion section.

Authors: Koreti Deepali , Rani P. Dipti , Jadhav S.K. , Chandrawanshi Nagendra Kumar
Published: January 2024

Calocybe indica is an edible medicinal mushroom, preferably eaten for its culinary value. It was cultivated for its higher nutritional value, medicinal properties, and high polysaccharide content, especially glucan. Some particular minerals were enriched in food substitutes, an alternative to fighting against some targeted human ailments. Thus, mineral fortification is accessible in the submerged cultivation of mushrooms to produce bioactive compounds and fortified mushrooms. In this study, the submerged cultivation of C. indica was performed to make exopolysaccharides (EPS) using a supplemented medium of Zinc with varying concentrations. Thus, research revealed that the Zn fortification enhances the production of EPS and mycelial biomass after 21 days of incubation. The maximum mycelial biomass was 7.7133±0.30 g/L (dry weight), and the highest 0.3853±0.006EPS was produced in the 175mg/L mineral concentration, respectively. The present study revealed that the Zn supplementation gradually increased the mineral concentration and directly influenced the yield of mycelial biomass and EPS production. These EPS have various biological activities and can be helpful for fortified food or pharmaceutical product development in the medicinal and pharmaceutical sectors.

Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden sistematik dokümantasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın kapsamı 27.10.2023 tarihi itibariyle yürürlükte olan Anayasa, yasalar, cumhurbaşkanlığı kararnameleri, yönetmelikler ve cumhurbaşkanlığı genelgeleriyle sınırlı tutulmuştur. Araştırma kapsamındaki mevzuat MAXQDA ve MS EXCELL yazılımları kullanılarak kodlanmış ve analize tabi tutulmuştur. Araştırma kapsamında “Mevzuatın Spesifik veya Genelliği”, “Yönetmelik Etki Alanı”, “Mevzuatın Yürütücüsü”, “Mevzuatın Yürürlük Yılı”, “Hizmet Alanı” ve “Zamansal Çözümlemesi” temaları altında dağılım gösteren kod ve alt kodlar kullanılmıştır. Ulusal literatürde deprem mevzuatının bir bütün halinde sistematik analize tabi tutarak inceleyen çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Araştırmanın bu yönüyle literatüre katkı sağlayacağı değerlendirilmektedir. Araştırmada (1) Mevzuat hükümlerinin yayım tarihlerinin doğal afetlerin hemen sonrası döneme rastladığı; (2) Yönetmelik dışındaki normlar ulusal düzeyde düzenleme sağlarken yönetmeliklerin % 15 düzeyinde yerel ve bölgesel düzenleme de getirdiği; (3) Düzenlemelerin konularının mali hizmetler, imara ilişkin hususlar, hukuk hizmetleri, arama kurtarma hizmetleri ve eğitim hizmetleri üzerinde yoğunlaştığı; (4) Yaklaşık % 90’lık kısmın genel hükümler içerdiği ancak % 10’luk oranın ise spesifik bir afet olayını konu aldığı; (5) Önlemeye dönük normların müdahaleye ve iyileştirmeye dönük normlarla karşılaştırıldığında düşük oranda kaldığı bulgularına ulaşılmıştır.
Entre antropoloxía e historia. A oralidade na ficción amorosa dos trobadores galego-portugueses ou como salvar o itinerarium ad dominam
Authors: Ron Fernández Xabier
Published: January 2024

Esta monografía representa unha culminación de tres décadas de traballo investigador. Nela hai moito da nosa tese de doutoramento (Sobre a fenomenoloxía do don na lírica románica das primeiras xeracións, 2016) e tamén de toda a experiencia adquirida durante estes 30 anos.
O núcleo do estudo repousa na oralidade en tanto que parte esencial da creación poética trobadoresca (capítulo 8) e a súa inscrición na ficción das cantigas de amor e de amigo en forma de motivos destinados a salvar a distancia que separa o servidor da súa señor no itinerarium ad dominam (capítulo 9) que, necesariamente, debe percorrer, como se fose unha peregrinación, o trobador (capítulo 10).
Mais a esencia que soporta ese núcleo, que só desexa espertar máis preguntas da comunidade académica, é a de reivindicar o papel do estudoso como homo medievisticus generalis desde unha óptica racional e argumentada coas probas históricas e literarias. Por iso, os primeiros capítulos dedicámolos a explicar a nosa metodoloxía (capítulo 3), a especificar cal é o corpus de referencia, así como os autores e a súa cronoloxía (capítulo 4), para, despois, ofrecermos unha perspectiva xeral de aspectos relevantes que teñen especial vinculación coa oralidade: a dialéctica entre antropoloxía e historia (capítulo 5), a revalorización da estética (capítulo 6) e a dimensión cooperativa entre escripturalidade, texto e música (capítulo 7).
Para facilitar o seguemento das reflexións, ofrecemos en apéndice unha táboa onde figuran todos os autores estudados (101 trobadores), todas as cantigas cunha síntese dos motivos desde a óptica da oralidade e un repertorio de todas as cantigas incorporadas no estudo, que respecta a orde escollida, a da colocación do trobador na tradición manuscrita (471 cantigas das 1197 composicións analizadas).

Amplified Magnetic Resonance Imaging (aMRI) is a pulsatile brain motion visualization method that delivers ‘videos’ with high contrast and temporal resolution. aMRI has been shown to be a promising tool in various neurological disorders. However, aMRI currently lacks the ability to quantify the sub-voxel motion field in physical units. In this talk I will introduce out new quantitative-aMRI (q-aMRI) algorithm, which quantifies the sub-voxel motion of the 3D aMRI.

The High Plain of Pitesti in the south of Arges county is an excellent location for food production. However, Arges county is experiencing a significant decrease in productivity due to the acidity of its soil. This acidity is related to the behavior of certain soil properties essential for plant growth. The present work aims to study the pH behavior according to certain chemical parameters such as: exchangeable aluminum. To achieve this goal, forty-four soil samples were taken in the Costesti locality and sent to the soil laboratory where physical-chemical analyzes were performed. High concentrations of Al3+ in the nutrient solution cause harmful effects on the roots, which undergo morphological changes, turn black, reduce their growth in length and thickness, and fundamental changes in the capacity to absorb and retain cations occur. Thus, Al3+ ions cause a desorption of Ca2+, K + and Mg2+ ions and other species of cations from the pectocellubasic layer of root hairs, worsening nutrition, the absorption of these cations decreasing and increasing that of Al3+. It also reduces phosphorus nutrition, which precipitates as aluminum phosphates on the root surface. The risks of aluminum toxicity should not be overlooked. The rate of ammonia fertilizer use in the study area should be reduced, especially in soils with a pH below 5.4. It is recommended that strong bases input be used in these slightly acidic or acidic soils.

The paper presents the results obtained from an experiment with different tillage systems carried out in the period 2001-2021 on the Cambic Chernozem from Fundulea. The data reflect the influence of tillage on maize yields in 2020 and 2021, two very different years from a climatic point of view (2020 – very dry, while 2021 – a medium year). In the dry year, the highest yield (3828 kg/ha) was obtained in the plots worked with the chisel which ensured a better accumulation of water in the soil, and the lowest yield was obtained in the control plots. In 2021, the highest yield (7510 kg/ha) was obtained in the variants ploughed in autumn, and the lowest in the control plots (2036 kg/ha). In both years, spring ploughing provided distinct and very significant increases in production, but much lower than fall ploughing or chiseling. The agrochemical analyzes revealed the highest values for humus, total nitrogen, available phosphorus and potassium contents, total cationic exchange capacity in the control plots, and the lowest values of these parameters in the autumn ploughed plots. The disking and spring ploughing ensured close values, but better for tillage with disks. Spring ploughing is not recommended, as it stimulates the loss of soil water and, by increasing soil aeration influences the humus decomposition. Therefore, it is recommended that spring ploughing should be replaced by tillage with disk.The short experimenting duration at Secuieni and the high soil resilience didn't allow highlighting statistically significant soil pH, humus, total nitrogen, mobile phosphorus and potassium contents changes under the influence of different soil working methods (ploughing at 20 and 30 cm, ploughing at 30 + 10 cm, chisel work at 20 cm, and discing at 12-15 cm, and combinations between them).

Agroforestry systems have been gaining increasing global attention due to their numerous benefits both for environment and landowners. While Romania possesses significant potential for widespread adoption of these systems, only a few examples are currently in practice. The goal of this research was to highlight the most suitable woody species that could be introduced in the composition of the agroforestry systems across sandy soils of Dolj County. In order to determine the most preferred woody species a set of eight criteria was used and an Analytical Hierarchy Process was conducted by using Expert Choice Desktop (v. 11.5.1683) software. This research can serve as a model for similar studied aimed at selecting optimal agroforestry systems for specific sites. Future research should also incorporate criteria that consider the functional relationships of these green spaces with neighbouring areas.
The Dual Colonial Heritage of Cameroon: A Roadblock to Viable National Education Reform
Authors: Mngo Zachary Y
Published: January 2024

Educational reform on a national scale often presents complexities due to the myriad perspectives of the stakeholders involved. Particularly in multicultural and multilingual societies, the distinct frames of reference can significantly impede compromise. One challenge is the change agents’ occasional oversight of local nuances. In Cameroon, attempts at reform, especially at primary and secondary education levels, have been notably contentious since the country’s independence from France and Britain in 1960. The subsequent reunification of British Southern Cameroon and French Eastern Cameroon established an imperfect union, birthing two education and legal systems with distinct characteristics, difficult to harmonize. A comprehensive review of the literature indicates that resistance to educational reform is more deeply rooted in the dual colonial legacy than the vast diversity of ethnicities and languages. Notably, in 1960, Cameroon comprised over 279 ethnic groups and languages within a population of less than six million. In contemporary times, for a now-divided Cameroon, home to approximately twenty-four million residents, successful educational reform that addresses modern-day needs can only materialize if both decision-makers and citizens prioritize a Cameroonian identity over their Francophone or Anglophone affiliations. This shift is crucial given the prevailing sociopolitical challenges that not only complicate educational harmonization but also impede national integration and unity.
Study on the Influence of Failure Learning on the Performance of Start-ups
Authors: Rastogi Amenawo
Published: January 2024

Many entrepreneurs have failed at one time or another. Entrepreneurs need to reflect on the failure and summarize the experience in time, so as to accumulate useful information for the second venture. Based on entrepreneurial learning theory and cognitive dissonance theory, this paper takes 258 entrepreneurial teams in the Yangtze River Delta as research objects, explores the impact of entrepreneurial failure learning on entrepreneurial performance, and verifies the moderating effects of ascending counterfactual thinking and descending counterfactual thinking. The results show that entrepreneurial failure learning has a significant positive impact on the performance of new ventures. Upward counterfactual thinking positively moderates the relationship between failure learning and entrepreneurial performance, but downward counterfactual thinking has no significant moderating effect between failure learning and entrepreneurial performance. After the downward counterfactual thinking is added, the triple interaction effect is significant, that is, the upward counterfactual thinking and the downward counterfactual thinking jointly positively regulate the relationship between failure learning and entrepreneurial performance.
Seeing People and Seeing God: Rethinking the Active and Contemplative Lives in Thomas Malory’s Morte Darthur
Authors: Pierce Ingrid
Published: January 2024

It has been observed that Thomas Malory’s Morte Darthur exhibits the active and contemplative lives much discussed in medieval England as modes of Christian living. However, no one has yet explored how Malory examines the lives by foregrounding sight, which in the Morte is vital to action and contemplation. Sight brings people into relation with one another and with God but it can also mesmerize minds and overwhelm bodies. This article argues that Malory stresses the need to educate the sense of sight and better understand visual connection. His portrayal of seeing helps elucidate medieval England’s evolving models of sense perception and religious life.

Ependymal cysts represent congenital brain malformations rarely described in human medicine, where surgical resection is the treatment of choice. In veterinary medicine, only three cases have been previously reported, with one partially resected with surgery. A 6 yr old entire male American Staffordshire terrier was referred with a 4 mo history of incoordination and collapsing episodes with extensor rigidity. Neurological examination localized the lesion to the left central vestibular system and cerebellum. A brain computed tomography scan showed a hypoattenuating lesion with peripheral contrast enhancement in the fourth ventricle consistent with a cyst and secondary hydrocephalus. Treatment with prednisone was initiated, but despite an initial improvement, neurologic signs recurred and a suboccipital craniectomy to remove the cyst was performed. The cyst was first drained, and the capsule was carefully resected. The histopathological evaluation revealed a simple cubic to cylindrical epithelium with apical cilia and loose surrounding fibrillar tissue consistent with an intraventricular ependymal cyst. Four and a half years after surgery, the dog only shows short episodes of balance loss when turning abruptly but is otherwise neurologically normal. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first reported ependymal cyst in the fourth ventricle of a dog with successful surgical resection.
Leflunomide for the Treatment of Immune-Mediated Uveitis in a Dog
Authors: Kim Se Eun
Published: January 2024

A 5 yr old castrated male bichon frise presented with chronic bilateral uveitis that had previously been controlled with systemic steroid administration for 6 mo, resulting in weight gain, polyuria, and polydipsia. To control the uveitis without systemic side effects, oral cyclosporine was started after discontinuing oral steroid, but discontinued one month later because of severe vomiting. Leflunomide (2 mg/kg q 12 hr) was initiated, and the uveitis symptoms resolved after 2 mo. The dose was tapered according to the remission of clinical signs, with no relapse during the following 13 mo. Leflunomide therapy was then discontinued due to vomiting caused by severe gastroenteritis and pancreatitis, and topical prednisolone monotherapy was continued . At 8 mo after discontinuation of leflunomide, bilateral uveitis recurred, and leflunomide therapy was resumed. However, the patient lost vision due to the progression of clinical signs at 33 mo after commencing leflunomide, and evisceration of the glaucomatous right eye was performed at 43 mo. Histopathologic examination revealed lymphocyte and plasma cell infiltration and melanin-laden macrophages in the uveal tissue, and the patient was diagnosed with immune-mediated uveitis. This case indicated that oral leflunomide may be a viable treatment option for canine idiopathic immune-mediated uveitis.

Purpose: While numerous widely accepted nutraceuticals lack randomized clinical trial (RCT) validation, regulatory bodies prioritize RCTs as the primary evidence for testing hypotheses for drug approvals. Despite challenges in authorizing generic therapies for SARS-CoV-2, regulatory bodies promptly granted Emergency Use Authorization for patented agents. This study evaluated whether the clinical trial data yielded adequate evidence to justify the approval of generic compounds, like vitamin D, as adjunct therapy to combat SARS-CoV-2. Methods: We employed an ancient logic system, seamlessly integrated with modern scientific principles and artificial intelligence principles, to analyze empirical data from 7 papers published in 2020. Subsequently, we compared the results with over 200 scientific papers (including over 100 treatment studies) referenced in a large (big)database. This study aimed to determine if there was substantial evidence in 2020 to support the approval of generic agents such as vitamin D (and ivermectin) for treating COVID-19. Results: The drug approval process undervalues well-designed observational studies, placing them in a subordinate position to RCTs when assessing effectiveness, even for nutrients. Our utilization of Catuskoti, an innovative logical method, highlights its potential as a catalyst for scientific progress, including big data analysis and integrating artificial intelligence into nutrient and pharmaceutical approval processes. Conclusions: Analyses conducted within this logical framework affirmed a robust inverse correlation between vitamin D levels and positive clinical outcomes in COVID-19 cases. Emphasizing the broader adoption of Catuskoti logic, particularly in analyzing big data and Machine Learning paradigms, becomes crucial in drug approvals. This approach aims to mitigate harm to individuals in future pandemics by promptly providing a more comprehensive understanding of the relationships between variables.
