Background and Aim: Uncinaria infection often appears in domestic dogs. In the present study, parasitological examination of fecal samples from 782 dogs were analyzed for the presence of Uncinaria stenocephala.

Materials and Methods: Fecal samples were analyzed by means of a standardized flotation method using a saturated salt solution containing NaNO3 (specific gravity 1.38), with a centrifugation step.

Results: The highest prevalence rates were found among young adult dogs (8.3%), followed by puppies (5.4%); the lowest prevalence rates were found in dogs older than 3 years (4.3%). The prevalence was 5.8% among female dogs and 7.2% in male dogs. Coinfections with roundworms and protozoan parasites were frequently observed in U. stenocephala-positive dogs (15%). In total, three types of coinfections were registered. Coinfection of U. stenocephala + Sarcocystids oocysts was recorded in 19.1% of the dogs (n=10). This may relate to higher prevalence of S. oocysts in dogs (n=153; 19.5%). There were two cases of coinfection of U. stenocephala + Toxocara canis (3.9%), which may relate to low prevalence of T. canis (3.9 %). One case of coinfection of Dipylidium caninum + U. stenocephala (0.1%) also appeared.

Conclusion: The present study showed that male dogs and young dogs were most susceptible to U. stenocephala infection.
Insects, Threads, and Urinals: Polymorphous Desire Flows in Krzysztof Jung’s Work
Authors: Gajowy Aleksandra
Published: January 2021

The 2019 retrospective of the work of the Polish artist Krzysztof Jung (1951–1998) at the Schwules Museum in Berlin positioned the artist as unequivocally gay in his preoccupation with the male nude. The artist’s body-oriented practice, however, expands far beyond strictly defined homosexual desire. In this article, I discuss complex entanglements of polymorphous desires present in Jung’s work. Introducing the narratives of prostheses, quantum entanglements, and entomology, I look at Jung’s performances known as nitkowania (threadings) and selected drawings in order to trace the free flows of desire beyond identity politics and distinctly disparate sexual categories. Employing posthumanist narratives of bodily extensions, I argue that the ambiguous body in Jung’s practice serves as the artist’s explorations of identity as always—already entangled with desire, sex, sociality, and performativity, and therefore inherently fluctuating and wavering, and blurring bodily boundaries. Through these narratives, I seek to enable an empathic, affective, turned on connections with Jung as the queer archival subject. Such visceral contact across time and space, through a queer archive, grants Jung and his performers agency as we attempt to sense them through their embodiment and through our own, and the fluctuating desire we may share with them, rather than through a limiting set of identity politics.

The object of this research is to investigate the Instagram usage in the PTKIN Library in East Java. The method in this research uses a case study model through content analysis of the post on the seven PTKIN Library Instagram accounts in East Java. The analysis is carried out by analyzing account ownership, growth of Instagram accounts, posting activity, and their use in each PTKIN Library Instagram account in East Java. The research data was taken on the same day, December 5, 2020. The results showed that generally Instagram has been used by PTKIN library managers in East Java. This can be seen from the account ownership by the entire library. Based on its growth, Instagram was only used by the PTKIN library manager in East Java in 2017. The average posting activity for each account was 130.28 posts. The use of Instagram by the PTKIN library is mostly used as a marketing/ promotion medium, amount to 560 posts or 61.40%. Meanwhile, the use of Instagram that is still rarely done is requesting input / suggestions from users, which is 5 posts or 0.55% of all posted content. As a suggestion, librarian need to optimize the use of Instagram to capture suggestions from library users.

Digital confidence, experience and motivation in physiotherapists: A UK-wide survey
Authors: Tack Christopher
Published: January 2021

Background: Healthcare digital transformation should focus on the use of innovative technologies to enhance quality, safety, efficiency of care services, and patient experience. Subsequently, the roles and skills of healthcare staff will change, requiring evaluation and elevation of digital literacy across the physiotherapy profession. Aim: To evaluate the confidence, motivation and competence of digital technologies in a cohort of UK physiotherapists (juxtaposed with a wider group of allied health professionals). Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional online questionnaire of physiotherapists and other allied health professionals (AHPs) in the UK. Results: 282 responses from AHPs were received with 279 complete responses for further analysis (including 126 physiotherapists). Physiotherapists report moderate-high levels of confidence in the use of digital devices (7.6 ±1.77), and high levels of motivation in learning about digital technology (8.7 ±1.6). Physiotherapists self-rate their knowledge regarding the benefits of digital transformation as high (72%). Physiotherapists show a strong preference for daily communication via telephone (82%) and email (97%). Conclusion: Physiotherapists demonstrate moderate-high levels of confidence and motivation to use digital technologies (in line with those seen in other AHPs). Higher degrees of competence are reported regarding understanding the benefits of digital technology, and lower competence is reported regarding topic areas such as artificial intelligence and data analytics.
Influence of artificial intelligence on public employment and its impact on politics: A systematic literature review
Authors: Reis João , Santo Paula Espírito , Melão Nuno
Published: January 2021

Goal: Public administration is constantly changing in response to new challenges, including the implementation of new technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). This new dynamic has caught the attention of political leaders who are finding ways to restrain or regulate AI in public services, but also of scholars who are raising legitimate concerns about its impacts on public employment. In light of the above, the aim of this research is to analyze the influence of AI on public employment and the ways politics are reacting.

Design/Methodology/Approach: We have performed a systematic literature review to disclose the state-of-the-art and to find new avenues for future research.

Results: The results indicate that public services require four kinds of intelligence – mechanical, analytical, intuitive, and empathetic – albeit, with much less expression than in private services.

Limitations of the investigation: This systematic review provides a snapshot of the influence of AI on public employment. Thus, our research does not cover the whole body of knowledge, but it presents a holistic understanding of the phenomenon.

Practical implications: As private companies are typically more advanced in the implementation of AI technologies, the for-profit sector may provide significant contributions in the way states can leverage public services through the deployment of AI technologies.

Originality/Value: This article highlights the need for states to create the necessary conditions to legislate and regulate key technological advances, which, in our opinion, has been done, but at a very slow pace.

Published: January 2021

The Batam Botanic Gardens (Kerabat) is a form of green open space in Batam City aimed at plant conservation activities, research, education, tourism and environmental services. The development of Kerabat until the end of 2018 has only reached around 35% and in 2019 the physical construction has been suspended. Before continuing the development so that the results are in line with expectations that serve as a place for plant conservation, research, community education, and tourism are needed to evaluate the Kerabat landscape. This study aimed to evaluate the Kerabat landscape that had been built based on the preferences and perceptions of the people in Batam City by comparing photos of Kerabat with other botanical garden photos. The results showed the Kerabat landscape based on the preferences and perceptions of the people in Batam City still did not show the character of the botanical garden landscape. Based on the analysis of the landscape preferences of the botanical garden from the photos chosen, the botanical garden character must have a landscape character that is beauty, green, beautiful, shady, organized, neat, comfortable for visitors and has good supporting facilities. Respondents preferences regarding the function of Kerabat are more for the conservation of plants and tourist attractions.

Published: January 2021

During the past century, many lacustrine environments have changed substantially at the ecosystem level as a result of anthropogenic activities. In this study, the distributions of n-alkane homologues, carbon isotopes (δ13Corg), organic carbon, and the C/N atomic ratio in two sediment cores from Fuxian Lake (Yunnan, southwest China) are used to elucidate the anthropogenic impacts on this deep, oligotrophic, freshwater lake. The carbon preference index (CPI) of long-chain components, average chain length (ACL), proportion of aquatic macrophytes (Paq), and terrigenous/aquatic ratios (TAR) show different temporal patterns that reflect variations in biological production. Notably, the n-alkane homologues are shown to be more sensitive to environmental changes than δ13Corg and the C/N ratio. Prior to the 1950s, minor variations in the sedimentary geochemical record were likely caused by climate changes, and they represent a natural stage of lake evolution. The onset of cultural eutrophication in Fuxian Lake occurred in the 1950s, when the n-alkane proxies collectively exhibited high-amplitude fluctuations but overall decreasing trends that coincided with population growth and related increases in land-use pressure. In the 21st century, Fuxian Lake has become even more eutrophic in response to human activities, as indicated by sharp increases in C/N ratio, Paq, δ13Corg, ACL, CPI, and TAR. Our findings provide robust molecular sedimentary evidence confirming that the environmental evolution of lakes in the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau over the past century was closely associated with enhanced anthropogenic activities.

Published: January 2021

Histone post‐translational modifications (PTMs) are key players in chromatin regulation. The identification of novel histone acylations raises important questions regarding their role in transcription. In this study, we characterize the role of an acylation on the lateral surface of the histone octamer, H3K122 succinylation (H3K122succ), in chromatin function and transcription. Using chromatin succinylated at H3K122 in in vitro transcription assays, we show that the presence of H3K122succ is sufficient to stimulate transcription. In line with this, we found in our ChIP assays H3K122succ enriched on promoters of active genes and H3K122succ enrichment scaling with gene expression levels. Furthermore, we show that the co‐activators p300/CBP can succinylate H3K122 and identify sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) as a new desuccinylase. By applying single molecule FRET assays, we demonstrate a direct effect of H3K122succ on nucleosome stability, indicating an important role for histone succinylation in modulating chromatin dynamics. Together, these data provide the first insights into the mechanisms underlying transcriptional regulation by H3K122succ.

Published: January 2021

Existe una indisoluble relación entre gobernabilidad y planificación ambiental, entendida esta última como un proceso continuo de transformación de información en conocimiento sobre el ambiente y de toma de decisiones que conduce a la búsqueda de la sustentabilidad ambiental. En dirección a ello, se ha realizado una aproximación a diversas interpretaciones de los dos conceptos. Lo anterior, para concluir que en Colombia existen significativos vacíos en la política pública ambiental, marco de la planificación ambiental, y que el Estado adolece de una precaria gobernabilidad sobre diversos ámbitos de la planificación ambiental, generando las condiciones de insustentabilidad que caracterizan el modelo de desarrollo colombiano.

Abstract Introduction: National data on chronic dialysis treatment are essential for the development of health policies that aim to improve the treatment of patients. Objective: To present data from the Brazilian Dialysis Survey 2019, promoted by the Brazilian Society of Nephrology. Methods: Data collection from dialysis units in the country through a completed online questionnaire for 2019. Results: 314 (39%) centers responded the questionnaire. In July 2019, the estimated total number of patients on dialysis was 139,691. Estimates of the prevalence and incidence rates of patients undergoing dialysis treatment per million of the population (pmp) were 665 and 218, respectively, with mean annual increases of 25 pmp and 14 pmp for prevalence and incidence, respectively. The annual gross mortality rate was 18.2%. Of the prevalent patients, 93.2% were on hemodialysis and 6.8% on peritoneal dialysis; and 33,015 (23.6%) on the waiting list for transplantation. 55% of THE centers offered treatment with peritoneal dialysis. Venous catheters were used as access in 24.8% of THE patients on hemodialysis. 17% of the patients had K ≥ 6.0mEq/L; 2.5% required red blood cell transfusion in July 2019 and 10.8% of the patients had serum levels of 25-OH vitamin D < 20 ng/mL. Conclusion: The absolute number of patients, the incidence and prevalence rates in dialysis in the country continue to increase, as well as the percentage of patients using venous catheter as dialysis access. There was an increase in the number of patients on the list for transplantation and a tendency to reduce gross mortality.

Resumo As revistas em quadrinhos estabeleceram-se como um novo formato de publicação de quadrinhos nos Estados Unidos durante a década de 1930. Seu consumo introduziu novas práticas e desestabilizou concepções bem consolidadas sobre o lugar social da leitura. Seu impacto nas décadas de 1930 e 1950 se nota em uma série de imagens fotográficas dedicadas a leitores de revistas em quadrinhos. O artigo discutirá tais imagens, buscando analisar suas representações enquanto agentes que contribuíram para configurar os sentidos públicos dos quadrinhos naquele contexto. A conclusão aponta para o lugar dos quadrinhos e da visualidade numa história mais ampla da leitura.
Do branco ao negro, da elite ao popular: cultura visual, fotografia e futebol no início do século XX
Authors: Silva Diana Mendes Machado da
Published: January 2021

Resumo Que tipo de informação os retratos dos clubes Andarahy, Carioca e Mangueira podem oferecer sobre a cultura visual do Rio de Janeiro no início do século XX e sobre a transição do futebol amador ao profissional? Em contraste com imagens da aristocrática equipe do Fluminense Football Club, os retratos dos jogadores negros desses clubes populares revelam disputas por visibilidade no campo esportivo e no espaço urbano já a partir do fim da década de 1910. Revelam ainda o papel do mercado fotográfico na coprodução de signos capazes de compor uma nova visualidade para a população negra. Nessa medida, as transformações socioculturais desse período foram mais significativas do que se costuma reconhecer ao representarem o protagonismo da população negra nas negociações sobre a visibilidade social na capital do país.

Introduction: Conventional knowledge of the brachial artery, the principal artery of the upper limb & its branches has played a major role in vascular surgeries. Literature along with various cadaveric & clinical studies suggest that brachial artery vary widely in origin, course and branching pattern. The great variability of this arterial pattern may be attributed to the failure of regression of some paths of embryonic arterial trunks. Anatomical knowledge of this principal artery and its variations has many clinical implications especially in surgeries related to orthopedic and vascular re-constructive procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study was conducted on 56 upper limbs of different age group and sex (19 Male and 9 Female) The brachial arteries were identified and branching pattern and relations of the brachial artery with brachial plexus in arm was observed and presence or absence of variations were documented. Results: Out of 56 upper limbs studies, 53 (94.64%) limbs showed normal morphological pattern of brachial artery, 3 (5.35%) limbs showed superficial brachial artery, 1 limb (1.78%) showed tortuous and SBA with trifurcation into radial artery, ulnar artery and common interosseous artery in the cubital fossa. Conclusion: The study of Brachial artery and variation in its course and branching pattern is clinically important for surgeons, ortho-paedicians operating on the supracondylar fracture of humerus and radiologists performing angiographic studies on the upper limb. KEY WORDS: Common Interosseous Artery, Median Nerve, Superficial Brachial Artery, Trifurcation, Ulnar Artery.
A review of trends in scientific coverage of water governance in South Africa and what this means for agenda-setting of public investment in water governance R&D
Authors: Inga Jacobs-Mata  , Patience Mukuyu  , John Dini
Published: January 2021

A review of global trends in water governance reveals a paradigm dominated by political and institutional change which becomes increasingly aligned with global shifts towards sustainability and also a rapid decline in the hydraulic mission. Closely aligned to these trends, but distinct in its own trajectory, South Africa’s water governance dynamics have evolved through a period of considerable socio-political change marked by inequitable resource allocation and water scarcity. This paper presents the results of a review of water governance research and development (R&D) trends in South Africa, aimed at informing the national funding agency – the Water Research Commission (WRC) – in its agenda-setting process for future water governance research. Through a bibliometric analysis, a data-mining exercise, and stakeholder consultations, this paper distils four key areas of focus for the future of water governance research in South Africa: (i) that future water governance research needs to be more needs-based, solution-oriented and embedded within real-life contexts; (ii) the need for a paradigm shift in water governance research to a constructive, adaptive and rapid response research agenda in an environment of increasing change and uncertainty; (iii) the need for the enabling environment to be strengthened, including acknowledgement of the role of individuals as agents of change, and the role of WRC in establishing a community of practice for water governance experts that can respond to issues with agility; and (iv) a consolidation of fragmented project-based knowledge to a programmatic approach that builds the pipeline of expertise in the water governance R&D domain.
The impact of sludge return liquors on South African wastewater treatment plants

Published: January 2021

There have been three considerable shifts, in the past 20 years, in the conventional design and modelling of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs): (i) single unit process to plant-wide modelling, (ii) consideration of WWTPs as water and resource recovery facilities (WRRFs), and (iii) the need to simplify WWTP models to allow their intake by new stakeholders (i.e. plant operators, designers and decision-makers) who use these models for evaluation of WWTP optimisation strategies. The latter shift has prompted the debate about model complexity versus the required modelling purpose among modellers. In addition to the aforementioned shifts, there has been limited research on the impact of sludge recycling dewatering liquor on the overall plant performance, especially in the context of South African WWTPs. A simplified full-scale steady-state WWTP simulation tool was developed, based on principles of sound mass-balance stoichiometry and rate-limiting kinetics. This tool enables the user to analyse the impact of recycling the DWL on the plant performance through different scenarios. The strategic scenarios evaluated included the implementation of two side-stream treatment processes (STPs), namely BABE and struvite precipitation. The evaluation of various strategies was done using the benchmark simulation model (BSM) task group plant performance indices (i.e. effluent quality and operational cost indices, EQI and OCI, respectively) incorporated into the simplified steady-state full-scale models. The integration of STP in the WWTP layout results in better EQI and OCI. The composition of the DWL affects the choice of the STP to be used, i.e., for DWL from an AD treating WAS that is not P-rich the recommended side-stream treatment operation would be the BABE process rather than struvite precipitation.

Alexander Dukhnovich’s Ego-Documents as a Source of Information About Some Facts of the History of Rusins
Authors:   Belarusian State University (Minsk, Belarus), Zelenko S.V.
Published: January 2021

The article analyzes the history of Rusins reflected in the ego-documents of the public and religious figure, publisher and enlightener Alexander Dukhnovich (1803– 1865), who was a precedent personality for the Rusins linguocultural community. His epistolary heritage and autobiographical materials are a source of information, first, about his own life, literary and publishing activities, ideological attitudes, ethnic and linguistic identity, second, about the social and material status of the Rusins in the Kingdom of Hungary and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the mid 19th century as well as magyarization of the non-Hungarian peoples and its consequences. The author compares the facts in A. Dukhnovich’s ego-texts with modern works on history to conclude that the subjectivity and emotionality of letters and autobiographies does not undermine their historical and cultural value, thus making them significant for understanding the past by a direct participant in the events.
