Correlations of Swimming Patterns with Spinal Deformities in the Sand Tiger Shark, Carcharias taurus
Authors: Tate Erin E. , Anderson Paul A. , Huber Daniel R. , Berzins Ilze K.
Published: August 2021

Spinal deformities among captive sand tiger sharks, Carcharias taurus, are unfortunately common, and abnormal swimming behavior due to constrained aquarium space has been hypothesized to contribute to the development of this condition. Public aquaria across the United States were surveyed for number, condition (healthy vs. affected), and total length of resident C. taurus specimens and for dimensions of their aquaria. They were also asked to record 10 minute video segments of individual C. taurus swimming in lateral view. Total length of sharks, regardless of condition, averaged 225 ± 5 (mean ± SE) cm. Aquarium shapes varied widely, but aquaria held median volumes of 1.03 X 106 L, and were a median of 4.6 m in depth and 20.7 m in greatest horizontal distance. The greatest horizontal distance of aquaria was negatively correlated with disease prevalence of resident populations in a logarithmic fashion (r = 0.72). Behaviorally, sharks were assessed for total time and percentage of time spent swimming in a specific direction (clockwise, counter-clockwise, or linear), in a glide, and tail-beat duration. Regardless of condition, C. taurus spent a median of 98.9% of time swimming and 0.62% of time gliding. Healthy sharks spent a median of 0.67% gliding versus a median of 0% for afflicted sharks (p= 0.036), suggesting an increased swim-to-glide ratio among the latter group. All sharks swam asymmetrically in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction for a median of 99.7% of observed time. Affected specimens had tail beat durations of 3.37 ± 0.23 s vs. 2.72 ± 0.10 s for healthy sharks (p = 0.005). The increase in swim-to-glide ratios and inordinate time spent swimming asymmetrically for all affected sharks support the hypothesis that swimming patterns induced by captive exhibits may contribute to spinal deformities in C. taurus due to more stress placed on the spine. Large, complex aquarium designs are recommended in the planning of new exhibits to discourage stereotypical swimming behavior and also to provide sufficient length for sharks to complete natural swimming repertoires. Comprehensive behavioral enrichment activities that encourage complex movement are also recommended as well as considerations such as even weight distribution of the animal during capture, sourcing of appropriately aged sharks, and nutritional supplementation.
Approaches to Understanding and Managing Pacing in Sloth Bears in a Zoological Setting

Published: August 2021

A significant challenge for animal care staff in zoos is the prevention or reduction of stereotypic behaviors in the animals they manage. Zoo professionals work to create opportunities for animals to demonstrate species-typical behaviors and to teach visitors about the natural behaviors of the animals on exhibit. Therefore the expression of stereotypic behavior presents a multi-disciplinary problem. Behavioral researchers have repeatedly examined stereotypic behavior in zoological settings to determine successful approaches to address this challenge. Three investigations of pacing in two adult male sloth bears (Melursus ursinus) at Smithsonian's National Zoological Park are presented here. In addition, a case report detailing observations of the rapid onset of an intense stereotypy in a young male sloth bear is included. The first study investigates the effects of five different enrichment strategies on pacing behavior in an adult male with a long history of pacing. The second is a two-year study examining seasonal changes and the effects of social companionship on pacing when the same adult male was housed with a breeding female, a non-breeding (contracepted) female, or a young male. In the third study, we present preliminary data on the effects of the selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor, fluoxetine, as an adjunct pharmacological treatment for pacing. And finally, our case report details the development an intense stereotypy in a young male sloth bear just after he is weaned and separated from his mother. The findings reveal that the causes, degree, and effective management of even a single observed behavior such as pacing within even a single species can vary greatly by individual and circumstance, highlighting the need for individualized assessment and management plans.
The Effects of Housing on Zoo Elephant Behavior: A Quantitative Case Study of Diurnal and Seasonal Variation

Published: August 2021

One of the greatest challenges for zoo managers is ensuring the best possible welfare for zoo elephants. Few studies have focused on behavioral health of elephants over a 24-hour period and across seasons, making evaluations of behavioral variation challenging. This study examined the behavior of two zoo-housed African elephants (Loxodonta africana) over a two-year period to determine the roles of 1) indoor/outdoor housing, 2) time of day, and 3) seasonal variation on activity. Daytime behavioral differences were contrasted with nighttime activity, and across seasons. Significant differences were noted when the elephants were indoors vs. outdoors, between day and night, and between summer and winter, suggesting that evaluations of zoo elephant activity should occur throughout circadian cycles and account for seasonal variability
The Neighbor Effect in Bachelor and Breeding Groups of Western Lowland Gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)

Published: August 2021

Behavioral monitoring is an essential tool for understanding how animal management decisions, including exhibit design choices, impact animal behavior and welfare. The purpose of this study was to use behavioral monitoring techniques to determine the interaction between 2 groups (bachelor and breeding groups) of western lowland gorillas that are housed in separate habitats that partially face one another. We performed simultaneous, 30-minute group observations on the breeding and bachelor groups and recorded all occurrences of agonistic and affiliative behavior, vocalizations, and visual monitoring of the adjacent group. At 5-minute intervals, we also recorded which gorillas in the observed group were potentially visible to the neighboring group. Our results indicated that there was considerable variation in the percentage of time each gorilla spent monitoring the neighboring group. We were also able to demonstrate that the visibility of individuals in the breeding group of gorillas was related to behavior of the gorillas in the bachelor group. Although non-contact aggression increased with the visual presence of the adult male of the breeding group, more severe aggression that could cause injury was not influenced by his presence. Results also showed an association between visual presence of a particular female in the breeding group and a decrease in contact aggression in the bachelor group. Since many zoological exhibits allow visual access to other animals, it is important to determine the impact that neighbors may have on each other. Our study investigating interactions between neighboring gorilla groups is an example of how behavioral monitoring can be used to assess the impact of a wide range of management decisions on animal behavior and welfare.

Published: August 2021

Este trabajo sistematiza el complicado, cambiante y contradictorio régimen jurídico de los funcionarios interinos en España. El abuso de esta figura y los procesos de funcionarización han desdibujado los límites entre unos y otros, a lo que se le suma el que en ciertos sectores profesionales como el sanitario y el educativo la alta tasa de temporalidad en el empleo pone en riesgo no solo los derechos profesionales, sino la estabilidad y la calidad del servicio público. Con el fin de exponer con claridad los detalles de esta preocupante situación jurídica que afecta a decenas de miles de interesados, mostramos críticamente el régimen aplicable a los funcionarios interinos, moldeado por el Derecho europeo y la jurisprudencia constitucional y contencioso-administrativa, desde su nombramiento hasta las condiciones de cese y la eventualidad de una indemnización, pasando por las competencias atribuidas y las vicisitudes de su carrera profesional.

This essay analyzes the confusing, changing and contradictory legal regime of interim or temporary civil servants in Spain. The abuse played upon this figure and the schemes related to turning public employees into civil servants have indeed blurred the limits raised between them, in addition to the risks posed by the highly temporality levels, specially suffered by public health and educational services, to both labour rights and job stability and quality. Thousands of public jobs are affected by this situation, and aiming at making clear the details of that situation a review of its legal regime is shown in this paper, framed by the EU law and constitucional and administrative case-law, beginning with job appointments and ending up with their dismissal and severance pay, along with their authority, jurisdiction, and career development.

Published: August 2021

Developing an empirical model that can predict ground-borne vibration is required in the modelling process using actual data of ground vibration velocity induced by train traffic collected from sites. In the preliminary and mitigation planning stages of the project, the empirical models developed are expected to predict the ground-borne vibration velocity due to rail traffic. The findings of this research are expected to provide a new perspective for railway planners and designers to improve the national design to improve the quality of life for the residents living close to the rail tracks. This research study firmly fills the information gap towards a fundamental understanding of ground-borne vibration in numerous areas of learning regarding the condition of train operation. This study has developed a prediction model of regression to forecast the peak particle velocity of ground-borne vibration from freight trains based on correlated and fixed parameters. The models developed have considered a few parameters obtained from sites using minimal or without tools altogether. Speed of trains and distance of receivers from the sources were the only significant parameters found in this study and used to simplify the empirical model. Type of soil, which is soft soil, and type of train, which is freight train, were the fixed parameters for this study. The data collected were measured along the ground rail tracks involving human-operated freight trains. Residents from the landed residential areas near the railway tracks were chosen as the receivers. Finally, the peak particle velocity models have been successfully developed, and validation analysis was conducted. The model can be used by authorities in the upcoming plan for the new rail routes based on similar fixed parameters with correlated parameters from the study.

Ovarian cancer among women is known as “The Silent Killer”. It is caused by the malignant ovarian cyst, which can spread to other organs if it is not treated at an early stage. Some are benign ovarian cyst which can be treated through medical procedures such as laparoscopic and laparotomy. The type of medical procedure that the patients have to undergo depends on the size of cyst. A few risk factors that can cause benign ovarian cyst are age, pregnancy, menopause and menstrual cycle. Apart from that, there are a few symptoms of benign ovarian cyst which are fever, nausea and abdominal pain, abdominal distension, dysmenorrhea and intermenstrual bleeding. The association between these 12 discrete categorical data variables (factors, symptoms, treatment and size) are measured using the log-linear analysis in this study. According to the analysis, the patients who have large benign ovarian cyst need laparoscopic procedure, while those with smaller cyst need either laparotomy procedure or they do not have to undergo any surgery at all. Among all of the factors, menopause gives the highest risk factor of benign ovarian cyst, followed by age, pregnancy and menstrual cycle. Meanwhile, the interaction between nausea, abdominal pain and intermenstrual bleeding give the highest symptom rate to the benign ovarian cyst.

Published: August 2021

Designing the interaction among human language and a registered emotional database enables us to explore how the system performs and has multiple approaches for emotion detection in patient services. As of now, clustering techniques were primarily used in many prominent areas and in emotional speech recognition, even though it shows best results a new approach to the design is focused on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Bi-Directional LSTM and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) as an estimation method for emotional Tamil datasets is available in this paper. A new approach of Deep Hierarchal LSTM/BiLSTM/GRU layer is designed to obtain the best result for long term learning voice dataset. Different combinations of deep learning hierarchal architecture like LSTM & GRU (DHLG), BiLSTM & GRU (DHBG), GRU & LSTM (DHGL), GRU & BiLSTM (DHGB) and dual GRU (DHGG) layer is designed with introduction of dropout layer to overcome the learning problem and gradient vanishing issues in emotional speech recognition. Moreover, to increase the design outcome within each emotional speech signal, various feature extraction combinations are utilized. From the analysis an average classification validity of the proposed DHGB model gives 82.86%, which is slightly higher than other models like DHGL (82.58), DHBG (82%), DHLG (81.14%) and DHGG (80%). Thus, by comparing all the models DHGB gives prominent outcome of 5% more than other four models with minimum training time and low dataset.

Corona Virus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) di Indonesia terus mengalami peningkatan. Semua kelompok masyarakat perlu saling membantu dalam menekan angka penyebaran COVID-19. Akan tetapi, tidak semua masyarakat mendapakan informasi secara tepat tentang COVID-19, misalnya pada kelompok masyarakat khusus seperti penyintas tunarungu. Maka dari itu, pendidikan kesehatan kepada kelompok masyarakat khusus seperti penyintas tunarungu perlu dilakukan tanpa harus mengumpulkan mereka pada 1 tempat dan waktu yang sama, yaitu dengan video edukasi tentang COVID-19 yang menampilkan bahasa isyarat sebagai cara penyampaian informasinya. Dari hasil kegiatan didapatkan hasil yaitu 1)tersampaikanya informasi tentang COVID-19 bagi masyarakat khusus penyintas tunarungu; dan 2)tersedianya video edukasi yang berisi informasi tentang COVID-19 dengan menggunakan bahasa isyarat. Video edukasi ini sangat bermanfaat bagi kelompok masyarakat khusus penyintas tunarungu untuk memahami tentang COVID-19 dan cara penularannya. Selain itu juga, video edukasi ini dapat disebarluaskan kepada seluruh masyarakat melalui media sosial guna menyebarluaskan informasi terkhusus bagi penyintas tunarungu di seluruh Indonesia. Sehingga, dapat membantu agar semua kelompok masyarakat medapatkan informasi tentang COVID-19 dan cara pencegahannya.Kata Kunci: Diabetes Melitus, Kader Kesehatan, Pelatihan

Published: August 2021

Introdução: O tomate-cereja é uma hortaliça muito consumida no Brasil, estando presente diariamente na alimentação das pessoas. No entanto é um produto altamente perecível após a colheita, dada a fragilidade dos seus tecidos e pela intensa atividade metabólica, demandando inúmeros esforços na sua conservação. Por isso, novas tecnologias vêm sendo desenvolvidas com o objetivo de aumentar a vida útil destes produtos hortícolas, a exemplo dos revestimentos comestíveis, que atuam como uma barreira contra as adversidades externas e que podem ainda atuar como barreira a microrganismos, pois são carreadores de compostos antimicrobianos como os óleos essenciais que ao serem adicionados desempenham funções de redução da proliferação microbiana. O uso de óleos essenciais vem ganhando importância por apresentarem componentes naturais, evitando-se o uso de aditivos sintéticos. Objetivo: O objetivo desta pesquisa foi de aplicar revestimento comestível à base de amido adicionado de óleo essencial de manjericão na conservação pós-colheita do tomate-cereja orgânico. Material e métodos: Os tomates cereja orgânico foram encaminhados para o laboratório e sanitizados. Inicialmente elaborou-se o revestimento comestível adicionado de 3% de amido, água destilada e glicerol sob aquecimento até a formação de um liquido viscoso. Em seguida adicionou-se ao revestimento diferentes porcentagens de óleo essencial de manjericão, sendo T1 (0% controle), T2 (0,5%), T3 (1,0%), T4 (1,5%) e T5 (2,0%). Para as análises microbiológicas considerou-se seis tratamentos (T0, T1, T2, T3, T4 e T5), três diluições, sendo 10-1 10-2 e 10-3, duas repetições e 4 tempos de análises (0, 4, 8 e 12 dias), onde determinou-se Unidade Formadoras de Colônias (UFC/g) de aeróbios mesofilos e fungos filamentosos e Número Mais Provável (NMP) de coliformes totais e coliformes termotolerantes. Conclusão: O óleo essencial de manjericão com concentração de 1% (T3), adicionado ao revestimento se mostrou mais eficiente para inibir o crescimento dos microrganismos aeróbios mesófilos, fungos filamentosos, coliformes totais e termotolerantes e consequentemente atuar na qualidade higiênica sanitária dos tomates cereja revestidos, visando garantir a saúde dos consumidores, buscando a comercialização de produtos mais seguros.

Introdução. O rotavírus, classificado na família Reoviridae, gênero Rotavirus, é a principal causa de diarreia em bovinos, acomete também diversos outros animais inclusive os humanos. Importante síndrome que afeta rebanhos bovinos de corte e leite em todo o mundo, causando graves prejuízos econômicos à bovinocultura. O vírus causa uma infecção altamente contagiosa, caracterizada por vômitos, anorexia, prostração, diarreia de consistência pastosa à líquida de cor variável e desidratação. Apresenta altos índices de morbidade e mortalidade, além de reduzir o ganho de peso e aumentar os custos da produção. Objetivo. Diagnóstico rápido do rotavírus bovino por microscopia eletrônica de transmissão. Materiais e Métodos. No período de 2011 a 2021, aproximadamente 430 amostras de fezes bovinas ou fragmentos de intestino delgado de casos clínicos foram enviadas ao Laboratório de Microscopia Eletrônica do Instituto Biológico de São Paulo, SP, Brasil, para diagnóstico viral. As amostras foram processadas para microscopia eletrônica de transmissão utilizando as técnicas de contrastação negativa (preparo rápido), imunomicroscopia e de imunocitoquímica. Na contrastação negativa, as amostras foram suspensas em tampão fosfato 0,1 M e pH 7,0, colocadas em contato com grades metálicas e contrastadas negativamente com molibdato de amônio a 2%. Na técnica de imunomicroscopia, as telas foram incubadas com anticorpo específico para o vírus e com gotas do antígeno. Após, as telas foram contrastadas com molibdato de amônio 2%. Na imunocitoquímica, as telas foram incubadas com a suspensão viral e com gotas do anticorpo primário. Em seguida, as grades foram incubadas em gotas de proteína A em associação com partículas de ouro coloidal (anticorpo secundário) e contrastadas com molibdato de amônio a 2%. Resultados. Ao microscópio eletrônico de transmissão, pela técnica de contrastação negativa foi visualizado um grande número de partículas de rotavírus, arredondadas, não envelopadas, icosaédricas, caracterizadas como partículas “completas” e “vazias”, medindo em média 70 nm de diâmetro em 51 amostras (11,8%). A presença de agregados formados pela interação antígeno-anticorpo caracterizou o resultado positivo obtido, na imunomicroscopia. Na técnica de imunocitoquímica, a reação antígeno-anticorpo foi evidenciada pelas partículas de ouro coloidal sobre os rotavírus. Conclusão. As técnicas utilizadas foram eficientes para o diagnóstico rápido dos rotavírus bovinos.
