Authors: Vallejo Caicedo Wendy Tatiana
Published: May 2022

Las comunidades presentes en el Consejo Comunitario Río Napi han desarrollo a lo largo del tiempo una serie de prácticas culturales y productivas a partir del aprovechamiento de los diversos recursos que hacen parte del territorio colectivo, permitiéndoles garantizar la sostenibilidad de sus familias a la vez que fortalecen las expresiones identitarias. Estas prácticas han trascendido de generación en generación para la pervivencia de los saberes enmarcados en la agricultura, la minería, pesca y la explotación forestal que permiten dinamizar la economía de los grupos poblacionales. Los modos de identidad cultural, vistos desde las fiestas patronales, formas de celebración, las prácticas mortuorias y la medicina tradicional se constituyen como elementos representativos de las comunidades negras que de manera directa se han visto afectados o permeados por elementos globalizados o hechos como el conflicto armado. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas de manera aleatoria y conversatorios con los individuos pertenecientes a las comunidades que integran el Consejo Comunitario Río Napi. Este proceso implicó la participación activa en la fiesta patronal celebrada en la comunidad de Soledad, evidenciada a partir del registro fotográfico que captura las prácticas, creencia y costumbres de las comunidades negras.

Abstract. For short-lived climate forcers such as black carbon (BC), the atmospheric concentrations, radiative forcing (RF) and, ultimately, the subsequent effects on climate, depend on the location and timing of the emissions. Here, we employ the NorESM1-Happi version of Norwegian Earth System Model to systematically study how the RF associated with BC emissions depends on the latitude, longitude and seasonality of the emissions. The model aerosol scheme is run in an offline mode, to allow for an essentially noise-free evaluation of the RF associated with even minor changes in emissions. Both the BC direct RF (dirRF) and the RF associated with BC in snow/ice (snowRF) are calculated for emissions in 192 latitude-longitude boxes covering the globe, both for seasonally uniform emissions and for emissions in each of the four seasons separately. We also calculate a rough estimate of the global temperature response to regional emissions, and provide a fortran-based tool to facilitate the further use of our results. Overall, the results demonstrate that the BC RFs strongly depend on the latitude, longitude and season of the emissions. In particular, the global-mean dirRF normalized by emissions (direct specific forcing; dirSF) depends much more strongly on the emission location than suggested by previous studies that have considered emissions from continental/subcontinental-scale regions. Even for seasonally uniform emissions, dirSF varies by more than a factor of ten depending on emission location. These variations correlate strongly with BC lifetime, which varies from less than 2 days to 11 days. BC dirSF is largest for emissions in tropical convective regions and in subtropical and midlatitude continents in summer, both due to the abundant solar radiation and strong convective transport, which increases BC lifetime and the amount of BC above clouds. The dirSF is also relatively large for emissions in high-albedo high-latitude regions such as Antarctica and Greenland. The dependence of snow specific forcing (snowSF) on the emission location is even larger. While BC emissions originating from most low-latitude regions result in negligible snowSF, the maxima of snowSF for emissions in polar regions greatly exceed the largest values of dirSF for low-latitude emissions. The large magnitude of snowSF for high-latitude BC emissions suggests that, for a given mass of BC emitted, also the climate impacts are largest for high-latitude emissions. The additivity of the RFs resulting from BC emissions in different regions and seasons is also investigated. It is found that dirRF is almost additive for current-day emissions: summing the RFs computed for individual regions/seasons without considering BC emissions from elsewhere overestimates dirRF by less than 10 %. For snowRF, the overestimate is somewhat larger, ~20 %.

Abstract. Knowledge of sulfur dioxide layer height (SO2 LH) is important to understand volcanic eruption processes, the climate impact of SO2 emissions and to mitigate volcanic risk for civil aviation. However, the estimation of SO2 LH from ground-based instruments is challenging in particular for rapidly evolving and sustained eruptions. Satellite wide-swath nadir observations have the advantage to cover large-scale plumes and the potential to provide key information on SO2 LH. In the ultraviolet, SO2 LH retrievals leverage the fact that, for large SO2 columns, the light path and its associated air mass factor (AMF) depends on the SO2 absorption (and therefore on the vertical distribution of SO2), and SO2 LH information can be obtained from the analysis of measured back-scattered radiances coupled with radiative transfer simulations. However, existing algorithms are mainly sensitive to SO2 LH for SO2 vertical columns of at least 20 DU. Here we develop a new SO2 LH algorithm and apply it to observations from the high spatial resolution TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI). It is based on an SO2 optical depth look-up-table and an iterative approach. The strength of this scheme lies in the fact that it is a Covariance-Based Retrieval Algorithm (COBRA; Theys et al., 2021). This means that the SO2-free contribution of the measured optical depth is treated in an optimal way, resulting in an improvement of the SO2 LH sensitivity to SO2 columns as low as 5 DU, with a precision better than 2 km. We demonstrate the value of this new data through a number of examples and comparison with satellite plume height estimates (from IASI and CALIOP), and back trajectory analyses. The comparisons indicates an SO2 LH accuracy of 1–2 km, expect for some difficult observation conditions.
Latent heating profiles from GOES-16 and its impacts on precipitation forecasts
Authors: Lee Yoonjin , Kummerow Christian D. , Zupanski Milija
Published: May 2022

Abstract. Latent heating (LH) is an important quantity in both weather forecasting and climate analysis, being the essential factor driving convective systems. Yet, inferring LH rates from our current observing systems is challenging at best. For climate studies, LH has been retrieved from the Precipitation Radar on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) using model simulations in the look-up table (LUT) that relates instantaneous radar profiles to corresponding heating profiles. These radars, first on TRMM and then Global Precipitation Measurement Mission (GPM), provide a continuous record of LH. However, temporal resolution is too coarse to have a significant impacts on forecast models. In operational forecast models such as High-Resolution Rapid Refresh, convection is initiated from LH derived from ground based radar. Despite the high spatial and temporal resolution of ground-based radars, one disadvantage of using these sources is that its data are only available over well observed land areas. This study develops a method to derive LH from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-16 (GOES-16) in near-real time. Even though the visible and infrared channels on the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) provide mostly cloud top information, rapid changes in cloud top visible and infrared properties, when formulated as a LUT similar to those used by the TRMM and GPM radars, can equally be used to derive LH profiles for convective regions based on model simulations with a convective classification scheme and channel 14 (11.2 μm) brightness temperatures. Convective regions detected by GOES-16 are assigned LH from the LUT, and they are compared with LH from the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) and one of the Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) products, the Goddard Convective-Stratiform Heating (CSH). LH obtained from GOES-16 show similar magnitude with NEXRAD and CSH, and vertical distribution of LH is also very similar with CSH. One month analysis of total LH from convective clouds from GOES-16 and NEXRAD shows good correlation between the two products. Finally LH profiles from GOES-16 and NEXRAD are applied to WRF simulations for convective initiation and their results are compared to investigate their impacts in precipitation forecasts. Results show that LH from GOES-16 have similar impacts as NEXRAD, and improves the forecast significantly.
Major sources of North Atlantic Deep Water in the subpolar North Atlantic from Lagrangian analyses in a high–resolution ocean model
Authors: Fröhle Jörg , Handmann Patricia , Biastoch Arne
Published: May 2022

Abstract. North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) is a crucial component of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and, therefore, is an important factor of the climate system. In order to estimate the mean relative contributions, sources and pathways of the three different deep water mass components (namely Labrador Sea Water, Northeast Atlantic Deep Water and Denmark Strait Overflow Water) at the southern exit of the Labrador Sea, Lagrangian particle experiments were performed. The particles were seeded according to the strength of the velocity field along the 53° N section and computed 40 years backward in time in the three-dimensional velocity and hydrography field. Water masses were defined within the model output in the central Labrador Sea and the subpolar North Atlantic. The resulting transport pathways, their sources and corresponding transit time scales were inferred. Our experiments show that the majority of NADW passing 53° N is associated with diapycnal mass flux, accounting for 14.3 Sv (48 %), where 6.2 Sv originate from the Labrador Sea, compared to 4.7 Sv from the Irminger Sea. The second largest contribution originates from the mixed layer with 7.2 Sv (24 %), where the Labrador Sea contribution (5.9 Sv) dominates over the Irminger Sea contribution (1.0 Sv). Another 5.7 Sv (19 %) of NADW cross the Greenland–Scotland Ridge within the NADW density class, where about 2/3 pass Denmark Strait, while 1/3 cross the Iceland Scotland Ridge. The NADW exported at 53° N is hence dominated by entrainment through diapycnal mass flux and the mixed layer origin in the Labrador Sea.
Modelling approaches for atmospheric ion-dipole collisions: all-atom trajectory simulations and central field methods
Authors: Neefjes Ivo , Halonen Roope , Vehkamäki Hanna , Reischl Bernhard
Published: May 2022

Abstract. Ion-dipole collisions can facilitate the formation of atmospheric aerosol particles, and play an important role in their detection in chemical ionization mass spectrometers. Conventionally, analytical models, or simple parametrizations, have been used to calculate rate coefficients of ion-dipole collisions in the gas phase. Such models, however, neglect the atomistic structure and charge distribution of the collision partners. To determine the accuracy and applicability of these approaches at atmospheric conditions, we calculated collision cross sections and rate coefficients from all-atom molecular dynamics collision trajectories, sampling the relevant range of impact parameters and relative velocities, and from a central field model using an effective attractive interaction fitted to the long-range potential of mean force between the collision partners. We considered collisions between various atmospherically relevant molecular ions and dipoles, as well as charged and neutral dipolar clusters. Based on the good agreement between collision cross sections and rate coefficients obtained from molecular dynamics trajectories and a generalized central field model, we conclude that the effective interactions between the collision partners are isotropic to a high degree, and the model is able to capture the relevant physico-chemical properties of the systems. In addition, when the potential of mean force is recalculated at the respective temperatures, the central field model exhibits the correct temperature dependence of the collision process. The classical parametrization by Su and Chesnavich [J. Chem. Phys., 76, 5183–5185, 1982], which combines a central field model with simplified trajectory simulations, is able to predict the collision rate coefficients and their temperature dependence quite well for molecular systems, but the agreement worsens for systems containing clusters. Based on our results, we propose the combination of potential of mean force calculation and central field model as a viable and elegant alternative to brute force sampling of individual collision trajectories over a large range of impact parameters and relative velocities.
Compaction effects on evaporation and salt precipitation in drying porous media

Published: May 2022

Abstract. Compaction and salinization of soils reduce croplands fertility, affect
natural ecosystems, and are major concerns worldwide. Soil compaction alters
soil structure and affects the soil's hydraulic properties, and it therefore
may have a significant impact on evaporation and solute transport processes
in the soil. In this work, we investigated the combined processes of soil
compaction, bare soil evaporation, and salt precipitation. X-ray computed
microtomography techniques were used to study the geometrical soil pore and
grain parameters influenced by compaction. The impact of compaction on
evaporation and salt precipitation was studied using column experiments. We
found that compaction reduced the average grain size and increased the
number of grains, due to the crushing of the grains and their translocation
within the compacted soil profile. Changes in pore and grain geometry and
size were heterogeneously distributed throughout the soil profile, with
changes most apparent near the source of compaction, in our case, at the
soil surface. The column experiments showed that the presence of small pores
in the upper layer of the compacted soil profile leads to higher evaporation
loss and salt precipitation rates, due to the increase of hydraulic
connectivity to the soil surface and the prolongation of the first stage of
evaporation.

Early childcare professionals represent a cross-section of two underrepresented groups in higher education: childcare educators, and adult female learners. According to the United States Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the childcare workforce in 2020 was predominantly female and lacking post high-school education (https://www.bls.gov/ooh/personal-care-and-service/childcare-workers.htm ).  Early childcare professionals often receive minimal training and compensation (Harwood & Tukonic, 2016). Participants in a university credentialing program for non-traditional students participated in a focus group as part of a program evaluation. The data was collected and analyzed. Themes were identified, including anticipated themes such as concerns about cost of college credits, and successfully completing coursework while simultaneously managing personal and work challenges.  However, themes of professionalism, and the significance of belonging to a community of learners were not anticipated.  The focus group provided rich discussion, and the analysis offers thoughts on advocacy for and with the early childhood education and care workforce.

The concerns of the United States about antidemocratic political processes in Georgia in 2018-2021
Authors: Changiani Marine
Published: May 2022

The diplomatic relations between the United States of America and Georgia were established in 1992. The United States supports the Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity of Georgia and its democratic development. The national goal of Georgia is to become a member of NATO and the European Union. In fact, Georgia, as one of the post-Soviet republics, became the best example of democracy in the region. However, antidemocratic political processes in Georgia in 2018-2021 caused concerns among the US officials and started changing the right democratic way of the country. This research studies the main reasons for the political crisis and strong polarization between the ruling party and the opposition. We are trying to find out the possible consequences of the problem and the impact it can have not only on the future development of the country and the strategic partnership between Georgia and the United States but also on the geopolitical situation in Transcaucasia.

Proposal for an assessment model of the congruence between people and work skills
Authors: Vautero Jaisso
Published: May 2022

Rapid changes in the skill set needed in a profession make it easier to differentiate jobs and employment opportunities by the skills required. From this point of view, people's point of contact with organisations is their skills, not professions. Therefore, what matters is people's skills, competencies needed to get the job done, and people's potential in terms of skills development. In this sense, the present proposal aims to establish a framework to identify congruences between the skills mastered by people and the necessary skills in the work context and how to bridge the gap between them. For this purpose, a set of propositions are made: i) competences are the people’s point of contact with the organisation; ii) skills do not shape people, people shape their skills, iii) professions can be defined through associated skills, iv) people more easily acquire skills that are closer to those they already possess. Based on these premises, a skills model is postulated, which can be named Person-delivery Environment-work Context (PEC). This model is interested in the fluidity of a person's skills and the autonomy over the development of these skills. To put it into practice, this model needs the following five steps: i) identify the most common skills in the labour market, ii) classify the skills identified to make exploration possible, iii) identify the representation and frequency of a given skill in each profession and the labour market, iv) create a methodology for identifying and measuring personal skills, v) create a way to calculate proximity between the person's competences (P) and the work context (C). In the proposed model, there are two observable data: the existence of competence in the universe of the work context and the presence of competence in a person. It is expected that this model will make possible the identification of congruences between people and organisations and the skill development possibilities for a person. Some limitations can be listed, but the main one is that people and work are reduced to skills in this model. However, its applications can only be thought of as part of a broader career development process that considers people and their potential and the means of developing them, obtaining satisfaction, and having decent living and working conditions.

Published: May 2022

Natural organic pigments such as carotenoids, betalains, anthocyanins, and carminic acid are notably found as safer food preservatives compared to other harmful synthetic chemicals. Due to glycosylation and acylation, betalains exhibit a broad-spectrum antimicrobial functionality with protection against degenerative diseases. Thus, betalains have been investigated as a potential bacterial inhibitor for food preservative applications. Initially, 36 betalain derivatives have been taken for primary screening using molecular docking. Afterward, the top ten ligands are taken for further study and analysis. The results of Prediction of Activity Spectrum of Substances (PASS) assured the antibacterial capabilities of betalains, and Lipinski's rule-of-five ensures the acceptability of the selected ligands as antibacterial inhibitors. The bacterial pathogens, such as C. botulinum (3FIE), E. coli (2ZWK), and S. typhi (3UU2) are selected for molecular docking by these betalain pigments. Furthermore, ADMET investigations and QSAR studies are performed to check insights into the bacterial inhibition process. Most active and common binding sides were observed at GLY159, ASN165, and SER166 for C. botulinum, at ASP8, LYS40, and TRP50 for E. coli; and at ARG37, GLN5, and ARG74 for S. typhi. The present study clearly shows an excellent insight towards the invention of plant-based new organic inhibitors to face the challenges of bacterial-resistant common food preservatives.

The FTIR and Raman spectra of dopamine were also recorded in the spectral region 20 - 4000 cm-1 and 400 - 4000 cm-1 respectively. The optimized molecular geometry and fundamental vibration frequencies are interpreted using structural optimizations based on the DFT method. The B3LYP / 6-311G (d, p) was used to determine the calculations of the chemical descriptor. The dopamine (DA) molecule can acquire a maximum charge of 0.513 eV from its environment. To understand the molecular interactions of Dopamine, the MEP is a crucial tool. Nonlinear optical descriptors (NLO) and the lengths, bond angles are also determined by DFT and MP2 methods. The DFT method was used to determine the chemical shifts of 1H and 13C of the product. These constants have been calculated by employing the GIAO (Gauge-Including-Atomic-Orbit), CSGT (Continuous Set of Gauge Transformations) and IGAIM (Individual Gauges for Atoms In Molecules) methods at the B3LYP/6-311G (d, p). The comparison of the theoretical chemical shifts with the experimental ones shows that the CSGT method is the best.

Published: May 2022

The present qualitative and exploratory study aimed to determine the ideas, feelings, behaviors, and changes in the working and family lives of actively working Turkish doctors during the Covid-19 pandemic. The researchers tried to understand the social and work-related problems of the doctors. Therefore, this study may be considered as a starting point for future studies.             The participants (61 doctors) filled out a questionnaire that consisted of demographic information and 17 open-ended questions. 49.3 % of them were actively working in specialized pandemics hospitals. In the present qualitative research, non-numerical data were collected to understand the psychosocial experiences of the doctors, and their most crucial quotations were categorized and reported, - as it is essential to report the quotations and the narratives in the descriptive analyses of the qualitative research. The researchers’ aim was to gather in-depth insights into their experiences and then generate new ideas for future quantitative research. The researchers used two of the nonprobability sampling types, i.e., snowball sampling and convenience sampling because of the difficulty of the accessibility to the doctors as participants.           The doctors associated the COVID-19 pandemic with some concepts such as “anxiety” and “stress”. All the doctors argued that there would be a lot of psychological problems at the end of the pandemic. Some of the doctors believed that there would be no change after the end of the pandemic, because they thought everything would be forgotten. Some others believed that peoplewould learn from their experiences, and they had a quasi-hopeful future perspective for humanity.            They predicted an increase in individualism and social isolation and a number of online platforms. The reasons for these and other findings were discussed and explained.

Anicteric Gallbladder Rupture with Elevated Bile Acids in Abdominal Effusion in a Dog with Cholecystitis
Authors: Pascual Mireia , Fauchon Emilie , Monti Paola , Valls Ferran
Published: May 2022

Anicteric gallbladder rupture has been rarely described in veterinary medicine, and, generally, it has been related to gallbladder wall necrosis secondary to gallbladder mucocele. A 5 yr old, male, neutered Labrador retriever presented for acute onset anorexia, lethargy, and vomiting. Cholecystitis was diagnosed based on the ultrasonographic findings and bactibilia, and, consequently, medical treatment was established. Despite improvement of the patient, a focal ultrasound of the hepatobiliary tract was performed 72 hr after admission for reassessment, revealing gallbladder wall thickening and abdominal effusion. Intracellular bacteria were present in nondegenerated neutrophils, and the effusion was categorized as septic exudate, compatible with septic peritonitis. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed an anicteric gallbladder rupture potentially secondary to cholecystitis and/or previous cholecystocentesis. The patient was not icteric the day of the surgery, serum bilirubin was within normal limits, abdominal fluid bilirubin concentration was below that of serum, and no bile pigment was detected; however, bile acids were significantly higher in the abdominal effusion compared with the serum concentration. This case describes an anicteric gallbladder rupture in a dog with concomitant cholecystitis and raises the question about the sensitivity of bile acid evaluation as a tool for diagnosis of gallbladder rupture and bile peritonitis in dogs.

Aimed at promoting a more binding single market for research, innovation and knowledge, the Horizon 2020 is basically a financial instrument. It is a flagship initiative to secure Europe’s global competitiveness by steering economic growth and to help generate more opportunities for employment. The programme also anchors on a unanimous keystone for cooperation by both the European leaders and members of the European Parliament. Pakistan and the EU have always celebrated cordial political, economic and trade relations. As one of Pakistan’s largest trading partners and the biggest market for the Pakistani exports, the EU-Pakistan trade reached €10.49 billion in 2015.[1] Since January 2014, Pakistan has also benefitted from the EU’s Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) and its exports to the EU are encouraged even further. However, with the shifting political paradigms in the post-Brexit period and the rise of the right-wing nationalist/populist syndrome, Brussels is changing. Amidst rising economic crisis and growing terrorism, solutions look dim or problems would at least take time to faint. The future shape and character of the EU are in question. The EU’s insistence to help Pakistan with its aim of supporting on its path towards inclusive and sustainable growth needs revamping. Pakistan’s five major priority areas of governance, local development, economic growth and trade, humanitarian assistance and regional cooperation are significantly dependent upon the support of the EU.
ECMI Minorities Blog. Indigenous Peoples and National Minorities in the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched an offensive against Ukraine simultaneously in the north, east and south of the country. Thus, Russian troops expanded their temporary occupation of Ukrainian territories, which began in 2014. Millions of Ukrainian citizens, including indigenous peoples and national minorities, found themselves in the temporarily occupied territories. Residents of those regions are suffering a lack of food, utilities and medical care, and live under the pressure of the Russian troops, namely are deprived of the right to express their opposition to the invasion by detaining, intimidating, torturing and executing. Under such conditions, the usual policy of diversity management is reduced to the struggle for the life of every citizen. This blog piece is dedicated to the current situation in the temporarily occupied regions of Ukraine inhabited by the communities of indigenous peoples and national minorities.

Basta olharmos à nossa volta, para que em questão de milésimos de segundos evidenciemos as influências e implicações diretas e/ou indiretas da Ciência e da Tecnologia (C&T) na Sociedade. No entanto, percebê-las não é suficiente, fazendo-se cada vez mais necessário aos cidadãos compreenderem-nas, bem como que estes estejam aptos a atuarem crítica e eticamente em processos de tomada de decisão que envolvem o desenvolvimento científico e tecnológico (SANTOS; MORTIMER, 2000; VIEIRA; TENREIRO-VIEIRA; MARTINS, 2011; OLIVEIRA, 2020).

Possibilidade de intervenção judicial na crise do sistema penitenciário
Authors: Rebouças Júnior Aureliano
Published: May 2022

O atual cenário caótico do sistema prisional brasileiro vem trazendo consequências extremamente danosas à sociedade. A omissão do Estado em implementar políticas públicas eficientes visando a reforma e a construção de estabelecimentos prisionais é causa determinante para a violação de inúmeros direitos fundamentais sociais insculpidos na Magna Carta. A suposta escassez de recursos financeiros, manifestada através da famigerada “reserva do possível”, não pode ser utilizada como escudo protetor a albergar a desídia contumaz de gestores públicos. O neoconstitucionalismo nos revela que a discricionariedade no exercício do poder não é absoluta, haja vista ser limitada pela Constituição, notadamente pelos direitos fundamentais. O Estado Democrático e Social de Direito demanda uma atuação positiva do Poder Público para efetivar direitos sociais, assegurando as condições básicas de sobrevivência para resguardar a dignidade da pessoa humana. O Estado deve proteger e fomentar os direitos fundamentais sociais, sob pena de sua omissão ser objeto de intervenção judicial com o escopo de assegurar uma proteção adequada e eficiente.

Objective: The American Association of Colleges of Nursing has identified competency-based education (CBE) as a priority in nursing education. The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) has been used across health professions as a tool to incorporate competency-based education. However, the OSCE has been correlated with intensive faculty resources and high costs. The objective of this study was to discuss the evaluation of a low cost OSCE and its ability to incorporate the role of self-assessment in competency-based education within a nurse practitioner program.Methods: Faculty at a public university developed and evaluated an OSCE, exploring its implementation as a component of CBE while minimizing costs using a quasi-experimental design. Nine nurse practitioner students in their third year of a BSN-DNP program completed a pre- and post- assessment of their perceived ability in three OSCEs. Undergraduate nursing students were recruited for the standardized patient role. The OSCEs were recorded for evaluation by faculty and for self-evaluation by the students.Results: There was no significant difference noted in student self-evaluations pre- and post-assessment. There was a statistical difference in the faculty ratings of the student in the otitis media OSCE, with the student rating their performance higher than faculty. There was no statistical difference noted in either the women’s health or hypertension assessments.Conclusions: Recordings of the OSCEs allowed students to identify strengths and weaknesses, cultivating the practice of self-assessment. Integration of minimal cost OSCEs provides opportunities for programs with varying budgets to incorporate it as a component of CBE.

Wandering is a neuropsychiatric symptom of dementia, and it is associated with adverse consequences. Doll therapy (DT) is a non-drug intervention for reducing distressing behaviors among people with dementia. The current study was conducted to determine the effects of DT on wandering in patients with dementia. A one-group including 40 patients with severe dementia was included to measure the impact of DT. The Chinese Revised Algase Wandering Scale-Community Version (CRAWS-CV) was used to evaluate patients each weekend. Results revealed that patients exhibited a clear improvement in CRAWS-CV scores over 4 weeks, especially eloping behavior, meal time walking, pacing, random pattern and aimless pattern scores. The current findings indicate that DT is beneficial for dementia patients with wandering.

Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is an autoimmune disease of the skin and is the most common form of pemphigus in domestic animals. This work reports a case of pemphigus foliaceus in a Santa Inês hair sheep. The ewe presented with multifocal bilateral crusted alopecic dermatitis affecting the chest, abdomen, and pelvic and thoracic limbs. Parakeratotic hyperkeratosis and acanthosis, in addition to subcorneal pustules, were observed histologically, and acantholytic cells and neutrophils were observed within the pustules. In the superficial and deep dermal tissues, there was intense eosinophilic infiltration and the presence of rare macrophages. These microscopic findings were characteristic of PF, and treatment with dexamethasone was ineffective. This disease is rare in sheep, and this is the first case report to be published in Brazil.
