Authors: Ali Mehmood , Niazi Fazeela , Siddiqui Mubashir Ali , Saleem Muhammad
Published: September 2022

The current study examined reduction of moisture from agricultural energy and food crops in a conventional oven to a solar dryer at various treatment periods at temperature between 40 ± 10 oC.  Sugarcane bagasse and Phragmites Australis had initial moisture of 50.8 % and 6.07 % by dry weight, respectively, with higher heating values (HHV) 6548.5 kJ/kg and 17653.02 kJ/kg respectively. The moisture content of bagasse and phragmites were decreased by 51.31% and 68.69% respectively using oven drying, while the moisture content of bagasse and phragmites was reduced by 48.01% and 66.22% respectively, using solar drying with 5 hrs treatment time. Corresponding increase in HHV’s observed in bagasse to 11195.6 KJ/kg (oven drying) and 10998.1 KJ/kg (solar drying), while HHV of phragmites increased to 18706.79KJ/kg (oven drying) and 18685.36KJ/kg (solar drying). Green chillies had a moisture content reduction by 33.69 % (oven) and 8.28 % (solar), whereas grapes had a reduction by 31.20 % (oven) and 7.88 % (solar) with 5 hrs treatment time. The oven drying approach revealed higher carbohydrate content in food crops when compared to solar drying, while both treatments showed a similar drop in protein, fat, and vitamin C contents. Statistical and energy analysis observed that comparing solar drying; the oven drying eliminates slightly higher moisture content and have less drying energy requirements.  The amount of heat energy required for drying unit mass of bagasse was 0.476 kJ/kg (oven) and 0.556 kJ/kg (solar), for phragmites it was 0.074 kJ/kg (oven) and 0.092 kJ/kg (solar), for chilles 0.524 kJ/kg (oven) and 0.576 kJ/kg (solar) and for grapes 0.123 kJ/kg (oven) and 0.157 MJ/kg (solar). According to the results solar drying required greater quantity of heat energy than oven drying. Mass transfer analysis showed drying constant of bagasse and phragmites were higher initially, then showed reducing trend with respect time. Furthermore, it was observed that the effective diffusivity and mass transfer coefficient were found reducing with respect to increasing drying treatment time. The research findings of renewable solar drying, on the other hand, are comparable to those of oven drying, demonstrating that there is still enough untapped heat energy available for its utilization in biomass thermo-chemical conversion methods.
Business Models of Local and Hyperlocal Media During Local Mass Media Reforms in Ukraine
Authors: Nesteriak Yuliia , Ryabichev Vyacheslav
Published: September 2022

The research relies on the world trends in the development of local and hyperlocal media and their business models to analyse the experience of Ukrainian local mass media in their search for sustainable funding. The financial sustainability of local and hyperlocal media projects is the key to expanding citizens’ access to high-quality news and information. The choice of a business model determines the media’s financial sustainability and efficiency, its philosophy, content and ways of content delivery. Crowdfunding and its types (membership model, club model, gift-crowdfunding) is considered one of the most effective business models for hyperlocal media. These models presuppose engaging audiences (communities) in media financing. The research into the key services, resources, information processes and flows, expenditure structure and revenue sources reveal that an effective business model for Ukrainian media aims to combine business values with consumers’ values and needs. The combination of these factors ensures sustainable development and independence of the editorial policy.
Insights into functional connectivity in mammalian signal transduction pathways by pairwise comparison of protein interaction partners of critical signaling hubs
Authors: Ramana Chilakamarti V.
Published: September 2022

Growth factors and cytokines activate signal transduction pathways and regulate gene expression in eukaryotes. Intracellular domains of activated receptors recruit several protein kinases as well as transcription factors that serve as platforms or hubs for the assembly of multi-protein complexes. The signaling hubs involved in a related biologic function often share common interaction proteins and target genes. This functional connectivity suggests that a pairwise comparison of protein interaction partners of signaling hubs and network analysis of common partners and their expression analysis might lead to the identification of critical nodes in cellular signaling. A pairwise comparison of signaling hubs across several related pathways might reveal novel signaling modules. Analysis of protein interaction connectome by Venn (PIC-Venn) of transcription factors STAT1, STAT3, NFKB1, RELA, FOS, and JUN, and their common interaction network suggested that BRCA1 and TSC22D3 function as critical nodes in immune responses by connecting the signaling hubs into signaling modules. Transcriptional regulation of critical hubs may play a major role in the lung epithelial cells in response to SARS-CoV-2 and in COVID-19 patients. Mutations and differential expression levels of these critical nodes and modules in pathological conditions might deregulate signaling pathways and their target genes involved in inflammation. Biological connectivity emerges from the structural connectivity of interaction networks across several signaling hubs in related pathways. The main objectives of this study are to identify critical hubs, critical nodes, and modules involved in the signal transduction pathways of innate and adaptive immunity. Application of PIC-Venn to several signaling hubs might reveal novel nodes and modules that can be targeted by small regulatory molecules to simultaneously activate or inhibit cell signaling in health and disease.
Pregnancy associated atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome presenting with preeclampsia with HELLP syndrome and following treatment with Eculizumab
Authors: Gunawan Fery , Mangler Mandy , Sanders Cindy , Leonardo Trisha Ardine , Cindy Yosefina
Published: September 2022

Objectives

Pregnancy associated atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (p-aHUS) is a rare condition of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) which causes an increase of fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality. It presents typically with a triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA), thrombocytopenia and acute progressive renal failure. Differential diagnoses of HELLP (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, and Low Platelets) syndrome, preeclampsia, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) syndrome must be considered. In the following case report, presented is a 32-year-old, 38 weeks pregnant Caucasian woman admitted to Eberswalde Hospital with signs of preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome. Caesarean Section was performed due to HELLP syndrome and fetal distress. Acute renal failure occurs shortly after a successful delivery. After a diagnosis of p-aHUS is established, the patient was given Eculizumab, which yielded significant improvements.

Case presentation

A 32-year-old, 38 week pregnant Caucasian woman was admitted to Eberswalde Hospital with upper right abdominal pain. After a laboratory examination, a diagnosis of HELLP syndrome was established and a Caesarean Section was performed. The follow-up examination revealed deterioration of clinical signs with the patient experiencing dyspnea, oliguria, and oedema, as well as aggravation of laboratory values, ranging from severe thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, liver injury, and acute kidney injury. After excluding other possible causes of TMA, a diagnosis of p-aHUS was established and a treatment with Eculizumab was administered. Clinical and laboratory signs of hemolysis and kidney functions were found to improve gradually after two administrations of Eculizumab. The patient was discharged after 20 days of hospitalization with significantly improved condition and hematological values.

Conclusions

A successful treatment of p-aHUS requires a comprehensive assessment and a prompt diagnosis, which can be confounded by multiple similar differential diagnoses. Treatment with Eculizumab was found to significantly improve the outcome of the patient, but more studies are required to decide on a standardized regiment for p-aHUS.

Published: September 2022

Building long-lasting antimicrobial and clean surfaces is one of the most effective strategies to inhibit bacterial infection, but obtaining an ideal smart surface with highly efficient, controllable, and regenerative properties still encounters many challenges. Herein, we fabricate an ultrathin brush–hydrogel hybrid coating (PSBMA-P(HEAA-co-METAC)) by integrating antifouling polyzwitterionic (PSBMA) brushes and antimicrobial polycationic (P(HEAA-co-METAC)) hydrogels. The smart bacterial killing–releasing properties can be achieved independently by the opposite volume and conformation changes between the swelling (shrinking) of P(HEAA-co-METAC) hydrogel layer and the shrinking (swelling) of PSBMA brushes. The friction test reveals that both METAC and SBMA components support great lubrication. By tuning the initial organosilane (BrTMOS:KH570) ratios, the prepared PSBMA-P(HEAA-co-METAC) coating exhibits different antibacterial abilities from single “capturing–killing” to versatile “capturing–killing–releasing.” Most importantly, 99% of the bacterial-releasing rate can be easily achieved via 0.5 M NaCl treatment. This smart surface not only possesses long-lasting antibacterial performance, only ∼1.09 × 105 cell·cm−2 bacterial residue even after 72 h exposure to bacteria solutions, but also can be regenerated and triggered between water and salt solution multiple times. This work provides a new way to fabricate antibacterial smart hydrogel coatings with bacterial “killing–releasing” functions and shows great potential for biomedical applications.
Preparation and in vitro biocompatibility of PBAT and chitosan composites for novel biodegradable cardiac occluders
Authors: Wang Shanshan , Xing Quansheng
Published: September 2022

The biodegradable composites were prepared by melt blending of chitosan (CS) and poly(butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT). By utilizing Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy, mechanical properties analysis, water contact angle measuring, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis, it was demonstrated that the CS of the PBAT-CS10 composite was relatively evenly dispersed in the PBAT matrix, the mechanical properties were significantly improved, the hydrophilicity was increased, the cold crystallization temperature was increased, and a good range of melt working temperature was obtained. The PBAT-CS10 composite was used to fabricate a cardiac occluder by fused deposition modeling of three-dimensional printing, and finite element analysis, and in vitro implantation testing proved the occluder’s mechanical support and sealing function under extreme boundary conditions. In vitro degradation experiments, neutral red uptake cytotoxicity assay, CCK-8 cell proliferation detection, immunofluorescence staining of the cytoskeleton, cell apoptosis detection, and reactive oxygen species assay were all performed on the composite, confirming that it and the occluder made of it could be hydrolyzed under physiological conditions and had no adverse effects on the cell membrane, lysosome membrane, cell proliferation, cell morphology, cell apoptosis, or ROS level, and had good biocompatibility.

Parent training for dependent, yet abled, young adults
Authors: Berger Uri , Lebowitz Eli
Published: September 2022

The term Failure to launch (FTL) has been used to describe abled adults who do not work, do not attend school, and live with— and at the expense of—their parents. FTL can be beneficially addressed through parent training, a treatment method that is rarely used with adults (i.e., individuals past the age of majority). The authors first review the goals of parent training programs offered to parents of adults. The review demonstrates that these goals dovetail with key aspects of FTL. The authors then describe a new parent training approach for parents of individuals with FTL, based on SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions). They highlight five key components of SPACE-FTL: Psychoeducation, Reducing Parental Accommodation, Increasing Parental Support, De-Escalation, and Engaging Supporters. The authors conclude by discussing SPACE-FTL in relation and comparison to other parent training programs and their components.
Assessing Patients Who Seek Help Ending Their Lives

Published: September 2022

As a result of end-of-life movements in a number of states, psychiatrists may be drawn into the capacity assessment of patients requesting assistance to end their lives. Such assessments cannot follow the mere technicalities of common clinical interviews, not simply because of the finality of the choice, but also because of the limitations of common cognitive assessments. The Committee on Professionalism and Ethics of the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry consequently proposes an interview for such purposes that explores a patient's emotional capacity through a narrative inquiry about the patient's life, past coping, and reversible emotional states. It is a neutral approach that seeks to understand the patient rather than judge the appropriateness of an end-of-life request.
A COVID-19 Patient's Request to Die and Ensuing Conflict: Psychodynamic Considerations
Authors: Pioquinto David J. , Dickerman Anna L.
Published: September 2022

The role of psychodynamic theory in consultation-liaison (C-L) work, and particularly the importance of countertransference, has been well established. The psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers is a new factor that must now be taken into account as C-L psychiatrists traverse a changed healthcare landscape. In this article, we highlight the case of a critically ill COVID-19 patient who endorsed a desire for hastened death. This request generated significant conflict between the physicians and nurses caring for him, and it became challenging for the C-L team to perform our typical liaison function. We briefly review the existing literature on the psychological impact of the pandemic on healthcare workers, and examine how psychodynamic factors within this context impacted the events that unfolded. Themes under consideration include the effect of mass trauma on clinician defense mechanisms, and specifically the impact on countertransference toward patients who express a desire for hastened death. C-L psychiatrists themselves are not immune to such reactions and must be particularly attentive to emergent conflict in such cases. Interdisciplinary meetings to discuss and process these disagreements may be effective in repairing staff ruptures.
Lost and Found in Psychotherapy During COVID-19
Authors: Schen Cathy R. , Pressman Adele Rhea , Olds Jacqueline
Published: September 2022

The authors discuss the loss of the traditional setting for psychotherapy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a natural experiment lasting 2 years, and the finding of new channels of communication for therapy using video and telephone platforms as well as outdoor therapy spaces. The manuscript explores the experience of both patients and therapists with these new channels and investigates how the external features of the therapy frame can be subjectively experienced by different people and within different therapeutic relationships. Through patient surveys, case vignettes, and discussions with colleagues, the authors conclude that for a large group of psychotherapy patients the new channels worked as well as and sometimes even better than the old in-person appointments and that an occasional in-person “booster” session can strengthen the therapeutic alliance of ongoing teletherapy.
A Retrospective Observational Study of Psychosocial Determinants and Psychiatric Diagnoses of Mass Shooters in the United States
Authors: Cerfolio Nina E. , Glick Ira , Kamis Danielle , Laurence Michael
Published: September 2022

Our aim was to better understand the underlying psychiatric, psychosocial, and psychodynamic aspects of mass shootings in the United States (US). The Mother Jones database of 115 mass shootings from 1982–2019 was used to study retrospectively 55 shooters in the US. After developing a psychiatric-assessment questionnaire, psychiatric researchers gathered multiple psychosocial factors and determined diagnoses and treatment by evaluating the clinical evidence obtained by interviewing forensic psychiatrists, who had assessed the assailant, and/or by reviewing psychiatric evaluations conducted during the judicial proceedings. All 35 surviving-assailant cases were selected. Additionally, 20 cases where the assailant died at the time of the shootings were randomly selected from the remaining 80 cases. The majority of assailants (87.5%) had misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated or undiagnosed and untreated psychiatric illness. Most of the assailants also experienced profound estrangement not only from families, friends, and classmates but most importantly from themselves. Being marginalized and interpersonally shunned rendered them more vulnerable to their untreated psychiatric illness and to radicalization online, which fostered their violence. While there are complex reasons that a person is misdiagnosed or not diagnosed, there remains a vital need to decrease the stigma of mental illness to enable those with severe psychiatric illness to be more respected, less marginalized, and encouraged to receive effective psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic treatments.
Transgender and Analytic Countertransference
Authors: Harris Adrienne
Published: September 2022

Using theory from philosophy and from race studies, the author explores the countertransference confusions and enactments that can arise in working with trans and gender nonbinary patients. Case material is presented to explore in vivo the potential for enactments and toxic anxiety in the analyst in work with patients exploring or inhabiting new forms of desire and identity. Primitive states of anxiety and dysphoria may inhibit the analyst's capacities to allow freedom and reflection in cases of complex gender construction.
On Moving Across Oneself, Collective Identity, Homo-Nationalis, and the Trans-Subject
Authors: Rozmarin Eyal
Published: September 2022

This paper contemplates two notions that I have been exploring in relation to the frontier between subjects and collectives. The first is what I call homo-nationalis, the subject formed by and along the organizing principles of nationalism. This subject, I argue, reflects the ideology and reality of the nation-state. It is animated by its imaginaries and unsettled by its fragilities in the deepest psychological sense. The second is what I call the trans-subject. I use this notion inspired by, and wishing to extend the sense of, transing as it pertains to trans-gendering to other categories of subjecthood, aiming to capture the subject's potential to re-form the precepts of subjectivity as it is prescribed for them. I engage these two notions as I reflect on my (countertransference) experience while working with an individual moving across various collective-social frontiers in the process of a religious conversion.

The Glass Room: Housing space, time and history
Authors:   Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic, Topolovská Tereza
Published: September 2022

This article presents The Glass Room (2009), a novel by the British author Simon Mawer set in Brno, the Czech Republic, as a unique literary portrayal of a historical period and Modernist architecture in fiction. Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, the novel marked a turning point in its author’s career, inspiring both theatrical and film adaptations, and, perhaps more importantly, it sparked a resurgence of interest in its model, the famous Tugendhat House, a revolutionary piece of Modernist architecture built between 1928 and 1930 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The narration of the novel is determined by the centrality of both the Landauer House and its main living space, the Glass Room, and their capacity to frame the intimate histories of the characters as well as the tumultuous social, political, and cultural developments of Central Europe. The spatial poetics of The Glass Room reflects this thematic complexity, whilst expressing the key aesthetic and ethical preoccupations of Modernist architecture and contribut-ing to the novel’s role in providing a multifaceted insight into history and architecture.

This article aims to explain the cause and effect of excessive online video game consumption among university students in Malang City, East Java Indonesia. The informant of this study are university students who fond of playing online video games at late night and early morning in the internet cafe. The research discovers that: 1) living far away from parents, peers, and relatives often make university students feel lonely, this makes them use online video games to drive out their lonesome and boredom. By playing online video games, they can fulfill their social need by interacting with other players,Â  and finally, also get fun. 2) The negative side of online video games happens when the students play it excessively due to desire of escaping from real life problems. From this research, it can be revealed that there are similarity patterns among students experiencing online video games excessive consumption. These students are commonly suffering learning difficulties and they are isolated from friends because of taking study majors that are unmatched with their passion and interests. 3) No matter how harmful,Â  the games may endanger the studentâ€™s future, all of them feel not too worry. Life in young age and student status they still have made them no need to rush of thinking about their future. These facts are based on their opinion thatÂ  becoming an adult and finding a job are still too far away to go

Vitamin D and musculoskeletal health: outstanding aspects to be considered in the light of current evidence
Authors: Mendes Marcela Moraes , Botelho Patricia Borges , Ribeiro Helena
Published: September 2022

Vitamin D enhances calcium absorption and bone mineralisation, promotes maintenance of muscle function, and is crucial for musculoskeletal health. Low vitamin D status triggers secondary hyperparathyroidism, increases bone loss, and leads to muscle weakness. The primary physiologic function of vitamin D and its metabolites is maintaining calcium homeostasis for metabolic functioning, signal transduction, and neuromuscular activity. A considerable amount of human evidence supports the well-recognised contribution of adequate serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations for bone homeostasis maintenance and prevention and treatment strategies for osteoporosis when combined with adequate calcium intake. This paper aimed to review the literature published, mainly in the last 20 years, on the effect of vitamin D and its supplementation for musculoskeletal health in order to identify the aspects that remain unclear or controversial and therefore require further investigation and debate. There is a clear need for consistent data to establish realistic and meaningful recommendations of vitamin D status that consider different population groups and locations. Moreover, there is still a lack of consensus on thresholds for vitamin D deficiency and optimal status as well as toxicity, optimal intake of vitamin D, vitamin D supplement alone as a strategy to prevent fractures and falls, recommended sun exposure at different latitudes and for different skin pigmentations, and the extra skeletal effects of vitamin D.

Study was carried out in two different locations (L1: Yüzbaşılar village and L2: TUAM (Iğdır University Agricultural Application and Research Center) in 2020 to determine the effect of different waste mulch materials on weed control and tomato yield. In the study, five different mulch materials (tree of heaven, fine sawdust, wood chips, shredded paper and sheep wool) were used. Each plot has weed and weed-free control group. The effects of mulching on weeding, weed dry weight, yield (kg/da), fruit weight (gr) and number of fruit per plant (pieces) were investigated. Three counts were made to determine the weed density in the plots. As a result of the study, a total of 17 weed species belonging to 9 families were determined in the experimental areas. As a result of the counts, it was observed that Sorghum halepense L., Convolvulus arvensis L. and Xanthium strumarium L. weeds emerged the most in the plots where the mulch materials were laid. Depending on the location, the lowest density among the weed density counts was obtained from the paper plots. In the study, the lowest average weed dry weight among the mulch materials was paper (L1: 97.63; L2: 73.12 gr/m2), the highest average was tree of paradise (L1: 191.87; L2: 165.27 gr/m2) plots. As a result of the study, the best results in tomato yield (L1: 6.078.50; L2: 6.807.87 kg/da) and fruit weight (L1: 142.67; L2: 147.35 gr)) were obtained in the use of paper mulch. The highest number of fruits per plant was obtained in the use of wood chips (L1: 45.774.83/ pieces) and tree of heaven leaves (L2: 46.627.41/pieces). The fact that mulch applications give better results than control groups suggests that mulches will be much more beneficial for controlling weeds and improving fruit yield and quality.

Micropropagation is a tool for large-scale reproduction of planting material for viticulture sustainability. Successful micropropagation depends on the continued productivity of plantlets during the acclimatization phase. Due to high humidity in the culture container and free water in the environment, it causes rapid water loss and drying of plantlets with watery stems and leaves, poorly developed cuticle, large intercellular space, and incomplete stomata. Acclimatization of in vitro grown plantlets is often difficult. Silicon is gaining in importance as a useful tool in coping with multiple stress factors in different plant species, due to its contribution to the formation of the cuticle of plants, its mechanical resistance to biotic and abiotic stress, and its contribution to the flow of water through stomata and plant surfaces. In this study, the effects of 500 and 1000 µL ortho silicon applications at the acclimatization stage on in vitro propagated plantlets of 41B, 110R and Fercal grapevine rootstocks were evaluated by examining their survival rates. In the in vitro propagation process, rooting rates were listed as Fercal (64%) and 110R (32%) and 41B (28%) according to rootstocks, while root numbers were listed as Fercal (11.8), 41B (8.5), 110R (3.6). Genotypic differences were determined in the effects of silicon on plantlets in the acclimation process. In 110R and Fercal control plantlets, all plantlets were lost during acclimatization. Of the plantlets treated with 1000 µL SiO2, 110R 66% Fercal 88% and in 41B, the control, 500 and 1000 µL SiO2 applied plantlets survived 100%, 66% and 66%, respectively. 1000 µL SiO2 dose was more effective on survival rates than 500 µL applications. In subsequent studies, it was found that 1000 µL SiO2 applications could be used for practical success in grapevine genotypes that had problems in acclimatization and in other in vitro propagation studies.
Las vidas se afirman en la interfaz y perduran en el espacio: #BlackLivesMatter
Authors: Sánchez Ramírez José Luis , Albo Cos Úrsula
Published: September 2022

A partir de las categorías de espacio, interfaz, límite y lugar, se lleva a cabo un análisis de interacciones para identificar las estrategias y tácticas que conformaron las protestas del movimiento Black Lives Matter después del asesinato de George Floyd en el año 2020. Desde esta propuesta teórica, se logra percibir, por medio de una metodología de etnografía virtual y trabajo documental, las sinergias entre la organización en los espacios virtuales y físicos por medio de las interfaces, desde los hashtags hasta las protestas en las calles, otorgándoles cargas simbólicas a los lugares y rompiendo diversos límites con la finalidad de transgredir. Con este movimiento, se hace evidente la inconformidad y enojo de cierta parte de la comunidad por el uso de la brutalidad policial, empleada principalmente contra la población afroamericana. Se concluye que al poner en acción las interfaces a través de los lugares, los espacios creados en colectividad vuelven a surgir, cuestionando el orden establecido y aquello que impulsa a la protesta y al movimiento en general.
A Case Study of Quality-Diversity Search in Human Computation
Authors: Cooper Seth
Published: September 2022

Human computation, applying human problem solving to computational problems, has shown promise in numerous applications. In some applications of human computation, it may be useful to find not just a single best solution, but a variety of good solutions with different properties that can be used for further analysis. Recent work in quality-diversity search, such as MAP-Elites, has developed techniques that aim to find a variety of solutions. Thus, in this work, we explore the potential of combining quality-diversity and human computation approaches. We ran a crowdsourced study of the Traveling Salesperson Problem in which some participants were provided with a visualization of their MAP-Elites archive and some were not. We did not find a difference in the quality of the best solutions found by participants between the two groups. However, we did find that participants provided with the archive visualization searched more of the MAP-Elites behavior space than those without the visualization. This demonstrates potential for quality-diversity approaches to lead to finding a wider variety of solutions in human computation search.

Published: September 2022

The presence of the pathogen Porcine Circovirus 3 (PCV3) is reported for the first time in Costa Rica in a swine farm located in the province of Cartago. The Real Time PCR technique was used. From a total of 56 pools of blood samples from animals with respiratory symptomatology and emaciation, 32 tested positive (57.14%) for PCV3, while 24 tested negative (42.86%). Only one case tested positive for PCV2 and negative for PCV3. The presence of this disease in the country must be monitored in order to know its epidemiology and its possible impact on the national swine herd.

The objective of this research was to verify the physiological, hematological and biochemical parameters of horses submitted to the lace modality in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. Six males and two females were evaluated in two moments, before and after the exercise, characterized as M0 and M1. Regarding the physiological parameters, referring to rectal temperature, heart rate and respiratory rate in the M0 were (37,23 ± 0,25, 42,75± 6,22 and 29,75 ± 8,77), respectively, while in the M1 (37,97 ± 0,34, 64,35 ± 13,34, 60,87 ± 11,28), showing an increase after the loop test. In the erythrogram, only a change in the VCM result was observed after the exercise, as it occurs due to the increase of the erythrocytes and the release of young erythrocytes by the bone marrow. As for the biochemical parameters, there was an increase in M1 only in the result of the measurement of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and reduction of blood glucose. The results showed that physiological, hematological and biochemical changes occurred after the tests in horses, due to the physiological requirements for the equine exercise. The highest changes were observed in the physiological results, as well as the VCM, AST, LDH, CK and blood glucose of the horses submitted to the tie test in this work.
