Offen für alle – Offenheit für alle? Das Beispiel der Vesperkirchen-Bewegung als Herausforderung diversitätssensibler Gemeinde- und Kirchenentwicklung
Authors: Schlag Thomas
Published: March 2021

Thomas Schlag erörtert in seinem Beitrag «Offen für alle – Offenheit für alle? Das Beispiel der Vesperkirchen-Bewegung als Herausforderung diversitätssensibler Gemeinde- und Kirchenentwicklung» die Frage, inwiefern die Bewegung der Vesperkirchen als «programmatisch-kreativer Ansatz einer kirchlichen Diversitätskultur angesehen» werden kann.Die Frage nach der «Zugänglichkeit von bzw. zur Kirche durch Personen unterschiedlichster Herkunft und Milieus» ist gemäss Schlag in den vergangenen Jahren – insbesondere durch verschiedene Mitgliedschafts- und Milieustudien – zwar intensiv bearbeitet worden, jedoch wurden diese Überlegungen kaum «explizit mit einer Auseinandersetzung über den Diversitätsbegriff verbunden». D.h. Überlegungen dazu, «wie sich Kirche angesichts bestehender Diversitäten als eine gemeinschaftsstiftende und grenzüberschreitende Institution versteht […], [verbleiben] gegenüber strategischen Überlegungen im Hinsicht auf die Re-Attrahierung verloren gegangener Milieus deutlich im Hintergrund».Schlag erachtet es als besondere Chance von Vesperkirchen, exemplarische Orte einer Diversitätspraxis – verstanden als „normative Perspektive einer Kultur des Zusammenlebens“ – darzustellen. In einer medialen Wahrnehmung scheinen die Vesperkirchen hierin „von einer geradezu selbstverständlichen und ganz offenkundigen Plausibilität getragen zu sein“. Schlag fragt jedoch kritisch nach, ob „in einer diversitätstheoretischen Perspektive nicht doch auch gewisse Problemanzeigen zu formulieren sind“, namentlich ob sich unter dem Deckmantel der „Offenheit für alle“ nicht verdeckt „das alte, hierarchische Versorgungsprinzip einschleicht“ und damit auch „höchst asymmetrische Elemente einer besonders subtilen Vereinnahmung“ gegenüber Hilfesuchenden bestehen. Gelingen kann die Offenheit, wenn die Kirchen bewusst „signalisieren, dass sie sich der bestehenden sozialen, kulturellen, ökonomischen Diversitäten sehr wohl bewusst sind und diese Vielfalt nicht nur als Faktum, sondern auch als Potenzial begreif[en]“ – etwa durch „bewusst partizipative und diversitätsoffene Gottesdienstpraxis“ oder durch eine „Begegnungskultur, in der individuellen Narrativen der grösstmögliche Spiel- und Entfaltungsraum gegeben wird“. Das „kulturelle, soziale Kapital für den öffetnlichen Raum“ sowie der „Beitrag zur Kohäsion im Sozialraum“ ist sodann auch zur Geltung zu bringen dadurch, dass die Kirchen „über die soziale Situation Einzelner hinauch […] auch die weiteren politischen Hintergründe und Ursachen individueller Ausgrenzungen und Notlagen zum Thema macht“ und damit die vorfindlichen Nöte auch „in einem politisch relevanten Sinn artikulier[en]“.

Hitaus ja hiljaisuus
Authors: Petri Kaverma
Published: March 2021

Kirjoituksessani kartoitan, miten hitaus ja hiljaisuus näyttäytyvät taiteellisen tuotantoni aiheina. Tuoreimmillaan nämä teemat konkretisoituivat näyttelyssäni galleria Sculptorissa helmi-maaliskuussa 2020.

Hiljaisuus, hitaus ja aika sallivat sen, ettei aivan kaikkea sanota vaan annetaan katsojan tai kuuntelijan omien aistien herätä ja päätelmien muodostua. Jos esittäisin aiheeni paljaana, saattaisin kadottaa mahdollisuuden katsojan/kokijan omaan oivallukseen. Hiljaisuus ja hitaus ovat oivaltamisen prosessissa erinomaisia työkaluja. Tarvitsen niitä myös tutkijan positiossani voidakseni ilmaista silkkihansikkain jotain raudanlujaa.

Onko niin, että aineen kooma voittaa sittenkin, vaikka harha kaiken hallinnasta häivähtää mielessä ennen äkkipysähdystä? Kysymys konkretisoituu renkaitten jäljissä ja käsinkoskeltavassa hiljaisuudessa hallitsemattoman liikkeen ja äkkijarrutuksen jälkeen.

Vuoden 2020 maailmanlaajuisessa poikkeustilassa hiljaisuuden ja hitauden teemat nousevat esiin entistä ajankohtaisempina. Valmistin juuri tätä teemaa ja juuri tätä ekspositiota varten Hitaus ja hiljaisuus -ääniteoksen. Sekin löytyy käsittelemieni teemojen joukosta kun on aikaa ja malttaa etsiä.

Published: March 2021

This exposition is an investigation into software tranquillity through sound. One second of activity on a laptop was recorded by tracing the function calls within the Linux kernel. Can software be wild or calm? If so, what would calm software be like? Imagining that the software could experience its own existence, is the nature of its tranquillity or activity apparent to it? Can we as humans experience the tranquillity of software, if it indeed exists, and can we experience it as tranquil? Listen to fragments of one second worth of real software (in)activity while we present and reflect on the outcomes of this investigation.
A STUDY ON COVID-19 DATA WITH LOG-LINEAR MODEL APPROACH
Authors: ALTUN Gokcen
Published: March 2021

The researchers have done several studies to explore the important variables on the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) disease. However, there is no direct research to examine the interaction between the variables affecting the COVID-19 disease. In this study, the log-linear models are used to explore the significant interactions between the country, gender and age variables. Empirical findings of the presented study show that the main effects are found statistically significant for country, gender and age variables. The two-way interactions between the gender and country and between the interaction of the country and age are found statistically significant. The risk of the China for catching the COVID-19 disease is 1.7 times higher than the risk of the South Korea for catching the COVID-19 disease. The risk of male individuals is 1.2 times higher than the risk of female individuals for catching the COVID-19 disease. Additionally, the individuals having the 41-60 age group has higher risk than the individuals having 70 and above age group. We believe that the empirical results of the presented study will be helpful to the policymakers for decreasing the spread of the COVID-19 disease.
Four subtypes of childhood allergic rhinitis identified by latent class analysis
Authors: Yavuz S. Tolga , Karakus Ceyda Oksel , Custovic Adnan , Kalaycı Ömer
Published: March 2021

Background: Childhood allergic rhinitis (AR) is clinically highly
heterogeneous. We aimed to identify distinct subgroups amongst children
with AR, and to ascertain their association with patterns of symptoms,
allergic sensitization and concomitant physician-diagnosed asthma.
Methods: We recruited 510 children with physician-diagnosed AR, of whom
205 (40%) had asthma. Latent class analysis (LCA) was performed to
identify latent structure within the data set using 17 variables
(allergic conjunctivitis, eczema, asthma, family history of asthma,
family history of allergic rhinitis, skin sensitization to 8 common
allergens, tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy). Results: A four−class solution
was selected as the optimal model based on statistical fit. We labeled
AR latent classes as: (1) AR with grass mono-sensitization and
conjunctivitis (n=361, 70.8%); (2) AR with house dust mite
sensitization and asthma (n=75, 14.7%); (3) AR with pet and grass
polysensitization and conjunctivitis (n=35, 6.9%) and (4) AR among
children with tonsils and adenoids removed (n=39, 7.6%). Perennial AR
was significantly more common among children in Class 2 (OR 5.83, 95%CI
3.42−9.94, p<0.001) and Class 3 (OR 2.88, 95%CI 1.36−6.13,
p=0.006). Mild and intermittent AR symptoms were significantly more
common in children in Class 3 compared to those in Class 1. AR was more
severe in Class 1, compared to other 3 classes, indicating that upper
respiratory symptoms are more severe among children with isolated
seasonal rhinitis, than in those with rhinitis and coexisting asthma.
Conclusion: We have identified 4 phenotypes in school-age children with
AR, which were associated with different patterns of clinical symptoms
and comorbidities.

Published: March 2021

As the government increasingly allocates resources to innovation, questions arise as to how innovation organizations measure their performance, and ultimately their effectiveness, in supporting government missions. Innovation organizations are expected to demonstrate their impact. Researchers from the MITRE Corporation assessed how government focused innovation organizations advance innovation and evaluate their results. The research team collected information from a total of 39 government innovation organizations to understand their roles, activities, and measures of success. This article presents MITRE’s findings on the current state of pursuing and measuring innovation in government, as well as recommendations for metrics based on the different types of innovation organizations. MITRE recommends that innovation organizations focus on identifying and collecting outcome metrics that are critical to aligning innovation activities and products with government missions.
Camouflage Combat Uniform
Authors: Mortlock Robert
Published: March 2021

The development, testing, and fielding of combat uniforms for soldiers offer acquisition professionals an opportunity to analyze how programs progress through the U.S. defense acquisition system. This case centers on the U.S. Army’s decision to change the camouflage patterns on combat uniforms and equipment for soldiers. The case is broadly applicable to project managers, business managers, engineers, testers, and logisticians involved in project management, while specifically targeting defense acquisition professionals. Emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking and analysis skills in the areas of stakeholder management, resource management, and decision making in a complex environment. The case is developed in two distinct parts. Part I provides an analysis of the Army’s development of a plan with an increased chance of success in meeting desired objectives. Part II analyzes how the Army decided to change the camouflage pattern on combat uniforms through an informed, knowledge-based process.

This work was aimed at the examination of the interaction of certain physicochemical properties on micellar systems constituting of a polymer (sodium alginate), two surfactants (CTAB and tween 80), and Algerian olive oil. Response surface modelling (RSM) was applied to study the combined effects of systems containing each type of surfactant. The monitoring of four independent parameters, i.e., the interfacial tension (Y1), the conductivity (Y2), the viscosity (Y3) and the turbidity (Y4) as responses for the experimental design model, allowed the determination of the performance of the established models. Based on statistical analyzes, the coefficients R2 and Q2 for the interfacial tension, the conductivity, the viscosity and the turbidity are: 0.998 and 0.805; 0.982 and 0.742; 0.976 and 0.734, and 0.985 and 0.723, respectively. The obtained results indicate that these models showed a good predictive power for an optimal system composed of CTAB, Tween 80, AlgNa, and olive oil. For the CTAB/AlgNa and CTAB/olive oil systems, interfacial tension values of 33.85 and 34.39 mN m-1, respectively, and maximum conductivity values of 4.126 and 4.064 mScm-1, respectively, were obtained. For viscous compounds consisting of AlgNa/Olive Oil and AlgNa/Tween 80, maximum viscosity values of 202.5 and 196.6 mPa s, respectively, were obtained. For the same systems as those for viscosity, turbidity values of 300 and 304 NTU, respectively, were obtained.

Authors: Melo Nathalia Kellen Lucas de , Antonio Raelly Stephane do Carmo , Passos Letícia Siqueira Falce , Furlan Renata Maria Moreira Moraes
Published: March 2021

Introdução: O Ministério da Saúde recomenda que a introdução alimentar infantil seja feita aos 6 meses de idade, porém, observa-se que muitas famílias introduzem alimentos antes dessa faixa etária, o que pode prejudicar a saúde da criança. Isso pode ocorrer devido às crenças existentes, experiências prévias da família, entre outros fatores de ordem social e cultural. Objetivo: Investigar aspectos influenciadores da introdução alimentar de crianças. Métodos: O presente estudo trata-se de uma pesquisa transversal, quantitativa, com amostra não probabilística, de conveniência. Foram incluídos no estudo 22 pais ou responsáveis de crianças com idade até 24 meses. Foi aplicado um questionário com os pais ou responsáveis que continha perguntas relacionadas à criança, à família e aos fatores socioculturais; introdução alimentar; e crenças e conhecimentos sobre introdução alimentar. Resultados: Houve prevalência de aleitamento materno exclusivo até os 6 meses de 31,8% e introdução alimentar em tempo oportuno de 45%. Os resultados demonstram correlação entre escolaridade, renda, presença de plano de saúde e ocupação dos pais fora de casa com conhecimento sobre alimentação complementar. Encontrou-se também correlação entre o conhecimento dos pais e tempo de aleitamento materno exclusivo e tempo em que foi introduzida alimentação complementar. Conclusão: A partir dos resultados pode-se inferir que o nível de instrução, a ocupação e a renda familiar exercem influência no conhecimento dos pais sobre introdução alimentar. E que este conhecimento influencia a duração do aleitamento materno exclusivo e a época da introdução alimentar.
How like a (Fig) Leaf
Authors: Turner Lynn
Published: March 2021

In light of work by Donna Haraway, Jacques Derrida and Hélène Cixous, this paper weaves a poetic response to the Western ethnocentric mode of thought as that which cuts a once and forever line dividing nature from culture. That line elevates Man over all other creatures, indeed all other living things, and does so by means of a phallic imaginary deeply tied to Judaeo-Christian ontotheology – to shame, nudity and original sin. Through the figure of the fig leaf, the essay affirms the earthly and earthy field of the sexual as that which links rather than divides categories, disciplines and forms of life.
Soft Interventions
Authors: Vuorinen Jane
Published: March 2021

Recently there has been a growing number of artists working between photography and digital art, creating artworks in which the signs of digital operations have been left visible. I focus on three contemporary artists who use photography as a starting point in a process in which the work done in the digital environment of photography editing software is an equally important creative phase as the initial taking of the photograph: Andrey Bogush, Liina Aalto-Setälä, and Aaron Hegert. Starting from a reconfiguration of single authorship, I examine what kinds of subjectivities and agencies these works and practices produce, and how producing and encountering the works through screens affect our understanding of them. I stress the activity and agency of the editing software as an integral part of the artistic process. The three main areas of inquiry are originality, collaborative models of production, and authenticity. In the analysis, automatization becomes a generative engine, and the editing software a site for artistic creation, rather than a mere post-production tool.
Memento Mori
Authors: Jessen Ina
Published: March 2021

Decay and rot are established motifs in art history. They address transience and disgust, as well as contemplation, devotion and humility through the tradition of Memento Mori. In contrast to pure motific depictions of decay, Finnish artist Toni R. Toivonen (*1987) arranges deceased animals and creates works, in which organic components such as fur, muscles, flesh and blood decompose until dissolution. Organic decomposition, 'the last trace of life,' refers to death as the ultimate manifestation of immateriality and impalpability. This is apparent in Toivonens object Portrait of a Hare (No. 14). The arcane moment between life and death becomes clear in the physical transformation of an animal's cadaver. Decay through time is not the only change affecting the body; it is additionally broken down by bugs and bacteria. The last traces result in a hazy portrait of the protagonist: the field hare. Toivonen’s contribution reflects the motif of a hare through art history and iconography, considering the representation of dead animals in art. The interlocking of art historical perspectives and ephemeral materials, as well as the process of decay, are of central interest in Toivonen’s work, a further development in art of decay. Allusions to Joseph Beuys' performances, Dieter Roth’s multiples, and Sonja Alhäuser's, and James Elaine's Animal Books (beginning in the 1980s) serve as comparisons to Toivonen's concept of transformation.

Quantifying contact force artefact in near infrared spectroscopy
Authors:   , Schwab Timothy
Published: March 2021

Transcutaneous near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) of muscle requires coupling between the device and the skin. An unfortunate by-product of this coupling is contact force artefact, where the amount of contact force between the device and the skin affects measurements. Contact force artefact is well known, but largely ignored in most NIRS research. We performed preliminary investigations of contact force artefact to quantify tissue behaviour to inform future NIRS designs. Specifically, we conducted three studies on contact force artefact: (i) an experimental investigation of static load at varied levels of contact force and muscle activation, (ii) an experimental investigation of oscillating load at varied levels of contact force and frequency, and (iii) a Monte Carlo simulation of photon propagation through skin, adipose tissue, and muscle. Our results confirmed that contact force artefact is a confounding factor in NIRS muscle measurements because contact force affects measured hemoglobin concentrations in a manner consistent with muscle contractions. Further, the effects of contact force are not altered by muscle contraction and a likely candidate for the mechanism responsible for contact force artefact is the viscoelastic compression of superficial tissues (skin and adipose) during loading. Simulation data suggests that adipose tissue plays a key role in diffuse reflectance of photons, so any compression of the superficial tissues will affect the reflected signal. Further research is required to fully understand the mechanisms behind contact force artefact, which will, in turn, inform future NIRS device designs.
Instructional Leadership Practices in Under-Enrolled Rural Schools in Miri, Sarawak
Authors: Fred Andy , Bishen Singh Gurcharan Singh
Published: March 2021

This study focuses on teachers’ perceptions of their headmasters’ instructional leadership practices in under-enrolled rural schools of Sarawak, Malaysia. It also focuses on the issues and challenges faced by the headmasters in practicing instructional leadership roles as demanded by the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025. The mixed method research employed the Instructional Leadership Model by Hallinger and Murphy (1985). The quantitative data was collected through a survey method using ‘The Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS) adapted from Hallinger (2008) and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS IBM Version 22.0 software. The qualitative data from interviews were coded thematically and analysed to support the survey results. The study found the level of the headmasters’ instructional leadership in the three dimensions as “medium high” (mean = 3.57, SD = 0.90). There is a statistically significant difference between male and female teachers’ perceptions regarding their headmasters’ instructional leadership practices. This study also revealed the headmasters’ instructional leadership practices as “medium high” level among under-enrolled rural schools. However, the issues and challenges faced by the schools made it more difficult for them to improve their academic qualities.

Currently there are about 500 institutions throughout Malaysia which offer tertiary education level. They consist of public and private colleges. However, this variety will lead to confusion among the Malaysians in order to choose the right places to further their studies. The aim of this study is to select and rank the significant factor which influences the selection of university between IPTA and IPTS. By approaching the main objective, the sub-objective; to determine the most preferred university based on the associated factor can also be examined. Fuzzy TOPSIS (Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) is one of the best methods to assess this kind of multi-criteria decision-making problem. The alternative of this research will be the factors influencing Malaysians’ choice of universities which are affiliation, course offered, cost of education and reputation. While the criteria will be IPTA and IPTS. The data was collected by interviewing experts in both fields; public and private sectors. The result referred by the value of closeness coefficient of each alternative is determined in order to rank those alternatives (factors). Based on the result, the major factor is affiliation while the rest is course offered, cost of The most preferred is IPTS that represents a better affiliation.

Knowing that education is a part of important element in economic growth, this research was focused on the development of interactive mobile game specifically to create vocabulary related to idioms for young learners of English. The major concern among Pre-Diploma students is their lack of English vocabulary despite years of learning the subject. Therefore, this has affected their confidence level whenever they are required to use English either in spoken or written communication. We investigate the effect of mobile games on learning targeted vocabulary for Pre-Diploma students. Moreover, this study also examines whether the interactive mobile games created can improve motivation to learn and foster a deeper processing of vocabulary especially in terms of idioms for young learners of English.  Therefore, through the mobile game, students will be exposed to the benefits of technology development nowadays. Lecturers also can opt for a more interactive way of teaching vocabulary rather than relying on the traditional methods alone. The functional testing and usability test have been conducted by the expert and real users to ensure that the project delivered meets the objectives. This project was developed using GameSalad that and published to the mobile with Android platform. Expected outcome was achieved after experiment conducted.

The world Reader bookstore has a structured collection of books neatly arranged on shelves. The question is how the bookstore should keep the shelves full and make profit at the same time. Books are expensive due to the building tax that the business owner needs to pay, along with the tax imposed on each book. Hence, a bookstore owner will typically increase the prices of the books to make profit. Due to the high prices, people are keener to buy books through online store. Thus, this study is conducted to optimize books needed to be sold in a bookstore using the fuzzy linear programming approach. This study will focus more on fiction and non-fiction books that are available in the bookstore, which will help the bookstore to achieve its highest profit in the future. The result shows that the profit in a closed interval of [RM209016.00, RM348691.20] was obtained once the fiction and non-fiction books were [0 unit, 8000 units] and [4000 units, 4000 units]. Based on the findings of the study, other businesses can also use this method in to optimize their business in the future.

Published: March 2021

Honeypot is a decoy computer system that is used to attract and monitor hackers’ activities in the network. The honeypot aims to collect information from the hackers in order to create a more secure system. However, the log file generated by honeypot can grow very large when heavy traffic occurred in the system, such as Distributed Denial of Services’ (DDoS) attack. The DDoS possesses difficulty when it is being processed and analyzed by the network administrator as it required a lot of time and resources. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an approach to decrease the log size that is by using a Cron job that will run with a Perl-script. This approach parses the collected data into the database periodically to decrease the log size. Three DDoS attack cases were conducted in this study to show the increasing of the log size by sending a different amount of packet per second for 8 hours in each case. The results have shown that by utilizing the Cron job with Perl-script, the log size has been significantly reduced, the disk space used in the system has also decreased. Consequently, this approach capable of speeding up the process of parsing the log file into the database and thus, improving the overall system performance. This study contributes to providing a pathway in reducing honeypot log storage using the Cron job with Perl-Script.

Assignment of teaching loads refers to the allocation of teaching hours among academic staff. It will be the ideal way to assign the right courses to the right staff based on their expertise, preference and experience. The common practice in this department to allocate the teaching load is done manually through trial-and-error using Microsoft Excel which is inefficient and time consuming. Moreover, the manual allocation may lead to bias judgement and get unfavourable courses among academic staff. Thus, this study aims to propose a teaching load allocation model which able to optimize the teaching quality. A primary data has been collected using google form among 25 lecturers with 13 courses considered. Then, a linear programming model was applied based on department policies as constraints in order to find an optimal solution. A feasible solution will be solved using LINGO optimization software and the model serves as a best tool to assist head of department to allocate teaching loads. It found that the model proposed is suitable to be employed for teaching load allocation in this department .

Published: March 2021

The paper discusses an implementation of an internet-connected monitoring system to optimize waste collection within office space environment. The implementation consists of four parts – the physical dustbin module, network, middleware and user interface. The implementation uses NodeMCU board with embedded microcontroller to sense and transmit waste level data to a middleware over 802.11 wireless network, while the middleware aggregate data from all registered dustbins within the office area. The aggregated data is then stored in a database server for further analysis. The web-based user interface is used to monitor the dustbins waste level as well as historical data report. This information is vital for waste level management planning and prediction. Additionally, a Technology Acceptance Model survey result has shown that the monitoring system is perceived to be easy to use and useful for office management in monitoring and managing their waste.
Long-term clinical use of mirabegron in patients with overactive bladder syndrome
Authors: Wiatr Tomasz , Chłosta Piotr
Published: March 2021

Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) is defined by the International Continence Society (ICS) as urinary urgency with increased daytime frequency and nocturia in the absence of proven infection or any other pathology, usually with or without urgency incontinence. Pharmacotherapy with antimuscarinic drugs is highly effective, but more than 60% of patients discontinue the treatment. Development of mirabegron, a β3-adrenoceptor agonist (β3-AR), has become an expected pharmacotherapy option for the non-invasive treatment of overactive bladder. The available studies show that long-term treatment with 50 mg mirabegron in patients with OAB is associated with reducing the severity of symptoms. Data from clinical trials show that mirabegron provides efficacy similar to antimuscarinic drugs, but with a better tolerance profile.

Inhalation therapy has revolutionized the care of patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The choice of the inhaler is based on the cooperation of the doctor and the patient, it is not only the selection of the drug and dose, but a complex process based on the individual assessment of the patient – symptoms, manual abilities and compliance. An important aspect is the quality of the inhaler, good experience with it, but also ease of use. It seems that for the benefit of the patient and to respect the choice of the physician, the pharmacist should not suggest replacing medications in inhaled formulas.

Authors: Betbeze Caroline M. , Dray Stephanie M. , Fontenot Robin L.
Published: March 2021

OBJECTIVE

To develop a protocol for subconjunctival enucleation and orbital implant placement in standing horses and to document short- and long-term complications, cosmesis, and client satisfaction.

ANIMALS

20 horses with nonneoplastic ocular disease requiring enucleation.

PROCEDURES

A standardized protocol of surgical suite cleaning, patient preparation, sedation, local nerve blocks, surgical procedure, and postoperative care was performed. Owners were required to provide follow-up information at 1 year after surgery during a phone questionnaire. Additionally, some owners provided follow-up information at 1.8 to 4 years postoperatively.

RESULTS

11 mares, 6 geldings, and 3 stallions with a mean age of 9 years (range, 0.5 to 25 years) were included in this study. Reasons for enucleation included corneal lacerations (n = 3), perforated ulcers (4), end-stage uveitis (7), fungal keratitis (3), endophthalmitis (1), glaucoma (1), and stromal abscess (1). The mean surgery time was 64 minutes (range, 50 to 83 minutes). The most common implant size used was 45-mm diameter (range, 43- to 47-mm diameter). Complications included mild postoperative colic (n = 4), incisional swelling (1), and drainage from the surgical site (1) that resolved without implant removal. One-year follow-up information was available for 19 of 20 horses. Fourteen owners were very satisfied and 5 owners were satisfied with the cosmetic appearance. One horse was lost to follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Subconjunctival enucleation and orbital implant placement in standing horses was a safe and efficient alternative to general anesthesia when a standardized perioperative protocol was used. No horse developed clinically relevant complications, and owner satisfaction and cosmesis were good.
