OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of topical ophthalmic application of 0.5% proparacaine hydrochloride solution (PHCL; containing 0.01% benzalkonium chloride as preservative) on aerobic bacterial culture results for naturally occurring infected corneal ulcers in dogs.

DESIGN Clinical trial.

ANIMALS 25 client-owned dogs with infected corneal ulcers (24 unilaterally affected and 1 bilaterally affected; only 1 eye included/dog) examined between June 2008 and May 2011.

PROCEDURES Swab samples for aerobic bacterial culture were collected from the periphery of each corneal ulcer before and approximately 1 minute after topical ophthalmic application of 1 drop of PHCL. Numbers of aerobic bacterial species isolated from affected eyes were compared between sample collection points and between other variables (ie, side [left or right] of affected eye, prior treatments, and patient age, sex, and neuter status).

RESULTS There was no significant difference between numbers of aerobic bacterial species isolated per eye or overall aerobic bacterial culture results (positive or negative) before versus after PHCL application. Similarly, prior treatment had no significant effect on aerobic bacterial culture results for samples collected at either point. The most commonly isolated bacteria before and after PHCL application were Staphylococcus spp (40% and 48%, respectively), followed by Streptococcus spp (23% and 22%, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Topical ophthalmic application of PHCL did not significantly affect aerobic bacterial culture results for naturally occurring infected corneal ulcers in dogs as assessed in this study. Therefore, topical ophthalmic PHCL application could be useful in clinical settings prior to sample collection to relieve patient discomfort and to aid in sample acquisition without compromising aerobic bacterial culture results.

Published: October 2018

OBJECTIVE To identify risk factors for temporary tracheostomy tube placement (TTTP) following surgery for alleviation of signs associated with brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) in dogs.

DESIGN Retrospective case-control study.

ANIMALS 122 client-owned dogs with BOAS that underwent surgery to alleviate clinical signs (BOAS surgery).

PROCEDURES The medical records database of a veterinary teaching hospital was searched to identify dogs that underwent BOAS surgery from January 2007 through March 2016. Of the 198 dogs identified, 12 required postoperative TTTP (cases); 110 of the remaining 186 dogs were randomly selected as controls. Data regarding signalment and select preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables were extracted from the medical record of each dog. Variables were compared between cases and controls and evaluated for an association with the odds of postoperative TTTP.

RESULTS Body condition score, tracheal diameter-to-thoracic inlet ratio, staphylectomy technique, and mortality rate did not differ significantly between cases and controls. The odds of postoperative TTTP increased approximately 30% (OR, 1.3) for each 1-year increase in patient age. Postoperative administration of corticosteroids and presence of pneumonia were also positively associated with the odds of postoperative TTTP. Median duration of hospitalization was significantly longer for cases than controls.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Age was positively associated with the odds of TTTP in dogs after BOAS surgery, and TTTP led to prolonged hospitalization. Thus, early identification and intervention may be beneficial for dogs with BOAS. The associations between TTTP and postoperative corticosteroid use or pneumonia were likely not causal, but reflective of patient disease severity.
κ Light-chain monoclonal gammopathy and cast nephropathy in a horse with multiple myeloma
Authors: Eberhardt Christina , Malbon Alexandra , Riond Barbara , Schoster Angelika
Published: October 2018

CASE DESCRIPTION A 27-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare was evaluated because of a history of lethargy, reluctance to move, weight loss, persistent hyperproteinemia, and recurrent episodes of mild lameness.

CLINICAL FINDINGS Hematologic evaluation revealed anemia (RBC concentration, 3.84 × 106 cells/μL), thrombocytopenia (47 × 103 thrombocytes/μL), and hyperproteinemia (total protein concentration, 11.2 g/dL) with hyperglobulinemia and hypoalbuminemia. Results of protein electrophoresis of serum and urine samples indicated a monoclonal gammopathy; the paraprotein was identified as a κ light chain. On abdominal ultrasonographic examination, hypoechoic nodules were visualized in the spleen. Results of cytologic examination of a splenic fine-needle aspirate and histologic examination of a bone marrow biopsy sample were consistent with plasma cell myeloma.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME Treatment was declined owing to the age of the horse and poor prognosis. The horse was discharged from the hospital, and the owner was given palliative care instructions. The horse was euthanized 2 weeks later because of recurrent episodes of lethargy, anorexia, and signs of colic. Necropsy confirmed the diagnosis of multiple (plasma cell) myeloma. Plasma cell aggregates in the liver, spleen, bone marrow, and kidney and the presence of cast nephropathy were identified on histologic examination.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE Multiple myeloma is rarely reported in horses. A monoclonal peak on serum protein electrophoresis should raise the suspicion of neoplasia, specifically multiple myeloma. The findings for this patient confirmed the importance of considering neoplasia in horses with nonspecific clinical signs.
Error analysis in complex sentences written by Indonesian students from the English education department
Authors: Subekti Adaninggar Septi
Published: October 2018

This study was aimed to analyse errors made by learners in writing four types of complex sentences; complex sentences with adjective clauses, noun clauses, adverb clauses, and multiple-clause structures in an Essay Writing class. This study was done based on the realisation that learners’ grammatical knowledge is not always translated into accurate language production in real writing contexts and as a continuation of a previous study with the same participants which found that learners’ mastery of complex sentence structure affected their L2 writing achievements. Through document analysis of 40 essays, by these learners, using Thematic Analysis, the present study found five major themes of errors. They were lack of tense consistency, errors of omission, which included omission of verbs, omission of subjects and verbs, and omission of subjects, errors of addition, incorrect verb formations (double finite verbs), and the combination of several errors. Using Error Analysis as a framework, some possible contributing factors were further examined. Based on the findings, pedagogical implications and limitations, along with suggested directions for future research were also presented.
Syntactic complexity of online newspaper editorials across countries
Authors: Indarti Dwi
Published: October 2018

This study attempts to reveal the syntactic complexity of online English newspaper editorials across countries. The data was taken from ten online English newspaper and was analyzed by using L2 syntactic complexity analyzer (Lu, 2010). Second Language Syntactic Complexity Analyzer (L2SCA) program displays fourteen syntactic complexity measures. Those editorials were derived from ten online newspaper in the USA, UK, Egypt, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia and Singapore. All the editorials were written in English by the local newspaper editors, so they contain varied production units and grammatical structures from native English writers and non-native English writers. The results of the study reveal that the non-native online newspaper, The Vaguardgnr from Nigeria, shows the most complexity of sentence structure as indicated in the length of production unit which correlate with higher levels of proficiency. Meanwhile, the native online newspaper, The New York Times from USA, displays the highest score of subordination, which indicate complexity at the beginning and intermediate levels of proficiency. Hence, in most newspapers, the purpose of editorials is to influence the opinions of readers on some controversial issues.

Authors: Santiago Rui , Santos Baptista J. , Torres Costa J.
Published: October 2018

Introduction: Manual therapy (MT) is widely used by several healthcare professions to treat musculoskeletal disorders (MSD’s), still, there isn’t enough evidence to support its choice a therapeutic approach to these disorders. Researchers have been using surface electromyography (sEMG) to understand the effects and efficiency of MT. This study aims to evaluate the current literature using sEMG to assess muscle parameters within the scope of the use of MT.
Methods and Analysis: The search will be performed in 26 electronic databases and journals using the PRISMA Statement. Selection of the studies, data extraction and validation will be performed independently by two reviewers. These studies shall be categorized towards their aims to capture what the authors have been interest in. The overall quality will be assessed using Jadad Scale and the quality of the reporting of EMG data will be assessed using the ISEK standards. This review is oriented toward identifying failure to report of methods in the studies selected, which directly affect their reproducibility.
Dissemination: Outcomes of this review will be published in a peer-review journal. It may encourage future authors in this area of study to avoid failing to report all the relevant data in their studies.

Authors: Basri Ramaita
Published: October 2018

Attachment behaviors are behaviors experienced by children when they would leave their homes and families to join his friends at school he regarded as strangers. This behavior can interfere with the functioning life of the child so that the child can not be independent, and parents should be involved more in the activities of children. The study aimed to determine the effect of economic token therapy for reducing the attachment behavior among Kindergarten Students. The design of this study was quasi experimental with pre and post with control group. By using multistage random sampling and consecutive sampling technique with a total sample of 68 people who experienced attachment behavior. Consisted of 34 peoples as intervention group and 34 peoples as control group. Bivariate analysis using Wilcoxon test and mann-whitney test. The results showed that there were significant differences of attachment behavior before and after entering the token economy intervention in the intervention group compared with those in the control group (p = 0.000). Token economy therapy has positive effect to reduce attachment behavior of kindergarten student at the beginning of learning process in the kindergarten school. The application of economic token is recommended to overcome the attachment behavior of existing preschool children in schools and in the general public health services.

Creating the Pocky Women
Authors: Reynolds Kathleen
Published: October 2018

The sexually transmitted disease known as “The French Pox,” a forerunner of modern syphilis, represented a significant departure from early modern European knowledge of disease. Particularly distinctive was the gendered nature of the disease; females were labeled responsible for the formation of disease and thus associated with the moral corruption of the pox. This article examines the roots of this societal sexism in the Christian Pauline theory, using the binary between male and female to appreciate the development of the pox and the social differentiation that occurred as a result of its contagion.
The First Chimurenga: 1896-1897 Uprising in Matabeleland and Mashonaland and the Continued Conflicts in Academia
Authors: Dawson Suzanne
Published: October 2018

In this article, it will be argued that the First Chimurenga, or uprising in Southern Rhodesia was a complex set of struggles over land, cattle, and taxes rather than a planned, unified movement intended to overthrow the whites; neither the Africans nor the British were unified. It will evaluate historiography available on the subject, analyzing various weaknesses in scholarship due to the inherent lack of primary source material available from indigenous perspectives.
Blood and Death of Rome in Lucan’s Bellum Civile
Authors: Kubish Alexander
Published: October 2018

This paper is an analysis of the symbolism of blood in Lucan’s epic poem Bellum Civile. The first part of the article discusses several examples that show Lucan’s interest in the value that blood has when it is flowing inside someone’s body, and conversely the loss of that value when the blood is shed in battle. It then reveals a parallel between the unusual descriptions of the flow of blood, and the more usual descriptions of the natural flow of water. Various examples of this parallel suggest that Lucan develops a striking image of the bloodshed of Romans becoming as normal as natural phenomena. This bloodshed thus represents the inevitable death of Rome caused by this civil war, since Lucan subtly suggests that the bloodshed and death of individual Romans only translates into the bloodshed and death of Rome itself after the main battle of this war. The theory advanced by this paper can add to the theories of some recent scholarship on this poem, which generally argues that Lucan is not so optimistic about the future of Rome as was once believed.
“Dressed to the Nines: Oriental Feudalism and the Outward Appearance of Subordination”
Authors: Reddecliff Kayla
Published: October 2018

Extravagantly rich and exotic come to mind when thinking of the bygone world of Indian royalty, yet almost all of the 565 princely states abruptly and peacefully came to an end in 1947. In fact, the dazzling princely dress had come to represent subordination to the Queen of Britain. Because Indian rulers were unable to perform the princely duties of defending their state under colonial rule, Indian royalty directed their excess resources to the consumption of luxury goods. These goods, most notably represented in their dress, came to symbolize the ruling class’s increasing incompetence in the governing of their states.
The Fallacy of the “Buddy Construction” on Ancient Heroic Duos
Authors: Plecash Jenny
Published: October 2018

In this paper, I seek to examine three ancient literary couples to discover the nature of their relationships. Specifically, I will argue that Enkidu and Gilgamesh, David and Jonathan, and Achilles and Patroclus each participated in a relationship that went beyond the trope of heroic friendship. I will also examine how previous scholars portrayed these men in an attempt to remove homoeroticism from their mythologies.
Nightmarish Romanticism: The Third Reich and the Appropriation of Romanticism
Authors: Wells Bronte
Published: October 2018

Attempting to trace the intellectual history of any political movement is, at best,problematic. Humans construct political movements and the intellectual, philosophical underpinnings of those movements, and, in general, it is not one person who is doing the creating, but rather a multitude of people are involved; the circumstance of how politics is created is a web, which makes it difficult for researchers to trace the historical roots of movements. Nazi Germany has been the focus of numerous research projects to understand the intellectual roots of Nazism and the how and why they were successful in gaining and consolidating power. In line with popular theories in Sociology and History, earlier researchers have traced the intellectual roots of the Nazis in order to situate Nazi Germany as anti-modern, which by extension would situate their crimes against humanityand fascism in the same camp. In particular, Romanticism has been the movement that some historians have cited as a possible root for Nazism. The primary goal of this paper will be to disrupt the historical continuation argument, deconstruct the main parts of each of the camps, and provide support for the appropriation argument. This goal is designed to connect to the much larger debate of the state of anti-modern/modern of Nazism, and aid in showing Nazism as a modern movement. It is through researching and analyzingthe how and why the Nazis appropriated Romanticism that allows academics to study the influences from the past in the development of National Socialism, while accounting for the frame that the Nazis used to read the Romantics and the purpose for the way that Romantic literature was framed within Nazi-Germany.
TRUTH TO (HIS) NATURE: JUDAISM IN THE ART OF SIMEON SOLOMON
Authors: Anger Karin
Published: October 2018

Simeon Solomon was a Pre-Raphaelite artist who navigated the modernity of VictorianEngland to create works revolving around explicitly Jewish themes; often creating overtly Jewish images, highly unusual among the generally explicitly Christian movement. This article will deal with how Solomon constructed and dealt with his own identity as a Gay, Jewish man in the modern, and heavily Christian environment of mid-nineteenth century Victorian London. Using contemporary approaches to historicism, observation, and spirituality, his works deal with the complexities of his identity as Jewish and homosexual in a manner where neither was shameful, but rather, sources of inspiration.
‘We at least had our Ancient Trees’: The Development of Myth and Identity in Nineteenth Century American Painting
Authors: Morris Justin J
Published: October 2018

Modern history has looked on the United States of America as a country with a very distinct and proud national heritage and identity, though this was not always so. When founded in 1776, America was a nation that had not yet developed the identity and customs that would soon come to define the country nationally and internationally. The articulation of this distinct identity fell to the artist class and, in particular, first and second generation American painters. Painters such as Thomas Eakins, Thomas Cole, and the Hudson River School of artists pulled from their natural surroundings to create art that would foster pride in the values of peace, liberty, and freedom. Without these early painters, the United States would not have the strong identity that is so well known today.
‘The Whole World is Watching!’ The 1968 Chicago Riots
Authors: Dawson Tyler
Published: October 2018

In 1968, the Democratic Party of the United States held its convention in Chicago. Thousands of anti-war protestors arrived to picket the democratic process and voice their concerns over the Vietnam War for the upcoming presidential election. With prior knowledge of the coming protests, the Chicago Police Department and city administration expected violence and prepared themselves accordingly. As a result, the convention was plagued all week by violence in the streets as protestors clashed with the police. At the end, the violence was declared be the result of excessive police brutality. Scholarly works on the pre-existing conditions of Chicago that lead to violence have not been fully considered. In looking at the complexity of violent protest, this essay intends to examine the leaders and their intentions – on both sides of the conflict – and determine the causes and impact of one of the most iconic political clashes in twentieth century America.
Methodology in Ancient History: Reconstructing the Fall of Samaria
Authors: Gerow Heather
Published: October 2018

Any reconstruction of a complete narrative of the fall of Samaria must rely on some educated guesswork. The evidence we have is flawed and full of holes, which makes reconstruction very difficult. One can mitigate these problems with scholarly, such as a thorough knowledge of the languages of the primary sources and the history and culture of the Ancient Near East, a broad interdisciplinary approach, and awareness of one's own biases. This paper examines methodologies of using classical sources to reconstruct ancient history.

The school supervision that carried out by the principal will have a significant impact of the implementation in the learning process by the teacher in the school. The implementation is also a manifestation of the effectiveness of learning programs in supporting the teacher's main tasks. However, preliminary studies in the field showed that in general the research subjects were still not optimal in carrying out their main tasks, such as the lack of a learning plan, less optimal use of learning media, evaluation not being compiled and the results of assessments not being used optimally. This study aims to provide the principal's supervision actions on the implementation of the teacher's main tasks through a series of treatments in two cycles. This research consists of 21 teachers at SMPN 2 Situjuah Limo Nagari, Lima Puluh Kota District. The results of the study have proven that the implementation of school principal’s supervision can improve the implementation of the main tasks.

This study analyzes how optimization problems handled in middle school mathematics education and real life are handled in elementary mathematics textbooks. The purpose of this study is to identify the applicability of the optimization problem in elementary school. According to DCMEG, the optimization problem classification criterion of Ono-ri (2006), 12 mathematics textbooks of elementary school according to 2009 revision curriculum were analyzed. The optimization problem (13 questions) ), And optimization problem (7 questions) applied in real life. However, the term or concept of optimization was not mentioned in the curriculum or the teacher's guidebook. However, if we renew our perception of optimization problems, it will be possible to deal with optimization problems in elementary schools. This type of problem-solving experience allows students to find the meaning of optimization in problem situations, to understand mathematical concepts meaningfully, and to understand real life situations It is expected that it will help to recognize the value of mathematics.
Mathematical Noticing of Prospective Secondary Mathematics Teachers in Graphing Functions through Analyzing the Task Dialogue
Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Lee Soo Jin , Park JongHee
Published: October 2018

The present study attempts to explore mathematical noticing of prospective secondary mathematics teachers in the area of graphing functions through analyzing the Task Dialogue which is a written script of hypothetical student-teacher conversation for a given task. Using the constant comparative method, 117 task dialogues written by 39 prospective secondary mathematics teachers were analyzed. As a result, differences were apparent in what the prospective teachers focused on and how they reasoned with the focused mathematics. Specifically, most of the prospective secondary mathematics teachers chose the time as an independent variable and focused on the formal causal relationship between the two variables without considering the problem situation. Moreover, most teachers thought of the relationship between the two variables as a change in one quantity or as a rate of change, and a few noticed the amount of change in two quantities as a way to rationalize the relationship between the two. Given that mathematics teachers would face with various levels of students in class, we argue it is important for prospective teachers to be aware of ways students might conceive of the relationship between two quantities in terms of both the amount of change and rate of change in functional situations. We finalize our discussion by providing implications for prospective secondary mathematics teacher education and for studying noticing of mathematics in a finer grain size.
Mouse-tracking: Detecting Types in Movement Trajectories
Authors: Wulff Dirk U. , Haslbeck Jonas M B , Kieslich Pascal J. , Henninger Felix , Schulte-Mecklenbeck Michael
Published: October 2018

Mouse- and hand-tracking has become a popular method for studying the cognitive processes involved in a variety of domains, including language processing, memory functions, social cognition, and preferential and moral decision making, to name just a few. The popularity of mouse- and hand-tracking derives from its promise to provide a window into the evolution of cognitive processes with an unrivaled temporal resolution. This window is opened by linking characteristics of the movement, such as the shape of its trajectory, to characteristics of the underlying cognitive process. In current research, this means, more often than not, inferring the response competition created by different conditions or stimuli based on the curvature of aggregate movement trajectories. However, we will argue that this aggregate-level approach risks obscuring important trial-level variability in movement trajectories that can paint a different picture of the underlying cognitive process than the aggregate-level results do. Fortunately, mouse-tracking can do much more. In this chapter, we present a new approach to analyzing mouse-trajectories based on trajectory clustering that overcomes the limitations of aggregation-based analyses of movement trajectories.
How children identify events from visual experience

Language, Learning and Development. doi:10.1080/15475441.2018.1544075Three experiments explored how well children recognize events from different types of visual experience: either by directly seeing an event or by indirectly experiencing it from post-event visual evidence. In Experiment 1, 4- and 5- to 6-year-old Turkish-speaking children (n = 32) successfully recognized events through either direct or indirect visual access. In Experiment 2, a new group of 4- and 5- to 6-year-olds (n = 37) reliably attributed event recognition to others who had direct or indirect visual access to events (even though performance was lower than Experiment 1). In both experiments, although children’s accuracy improved with age, there was no difference between the two types of access. Experiment 3 replicated the findings from the youngest participants of Experiments 1 and 2 with a matched sample of English-speaking 4-year-olds (n = 37). Thus children can use different kinds of visual experience to support event representations in themselves and others.
Flour Mill Workers Occupational Noise Exposure in Chandrapur City, Central India
Authors: Nimgade Namrata R. , Kamble R. K.
Published: October 2018

Assessment of occupational noise exposure of flour mill workers in Chandrapur city of central India was carried out during November 2015-January 2016. Total 62 flour mills were selected for this study comprising one, two and three grinding machines operating in the shop floor. The sound level meter was used to measure sound level at 50 cm and 3 meters from grinding machines at receiver’s position during operation. Noise monitoring was also recorded when one, two and three machines were operating individually and simultaneously. The results showed that noise levels when one grinding machine in operation in close proximity (50 cm) was in the range of 80-97 dB(A). Comparison of these observations with that of 3 meters distance; it was observed that noise levels got reduced and in the range of 70-77 dB(A). In the case of two machines in operation, it was in the range of 95-118 dB(A) at 50 cm distance and reduced to 75-95 dB(A) at 3 meters distance. This reduction in noise level was due to the propagation of noise in the ambient environment. Furthermore, daily noise exposure points, exposure points job per task and exposure points per hour were computed by using noise exposure calculator developed by Health and Safety Executive (HSE), United Kingdom. The computation from this calculator revealed that these attributes were directly depended upon noise levels in flour mills and duration of noise exposure. A positive linear Pearson’s correlation (p<0.01) was observed between noise level and exposure points per hour. Of the 65 flour mill workers surveyed, 70.76% reported a hearing problem, 23.07% headache at work and out of which 7.69% workers headache remains after completion of work also. Remedial measures to control noise exposure to flour mill workers such as ear plugs, ear muff, semi-insert are recommended.

Published: October 2018

En Uruguay se plantea diversificar la matriz energética a través de la producción de biomasa. Las especies Arundo donax L., Panicum virgatum L.y Pennisetum purpureum L. Schumach serían una opción. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron comparar su producción de biomasa y energía, con diferentes manejos de corte. Los cultivos se implantaron en la primavera del 2007 y se evaluaron desde enero de 2012 hasta agosto de 2013. Se realizaron dos tratamientos de cosecha: corte en enero y agosto; y un solo corte en agosto. Arundo donax produjo 18,6 Mg ha-1 año-1, más que P. virgatum y P. purpureum, que produjeron respectivamente 15,0 y 14,6 Mg ha-1 año-1 de materia seca. En A.donax y P. virgatum un solo corte produjo más que dos cortes. En P. purpureum la diferencia entre tratamientos fue significativa en 2012 y el corte de agosto produjo más que el de enero. Arundo donax y P. purpureum presentaron mayores contenidos de cenizas y los valores de agosto fueron menores a enero, en P. virgatum no hubo diferencias entre cosechas. La mayor producción de energía se logró con A. donax (407 GJ ha-1 año-1) al cosecharlo una sola vez. Panicum virgatum fue el cultivo de menor producción de energía con un solo corte (292 GJ ha-1 año-1), pero tuvo el menor contenido de humedad (15 %) y cenizas (4,9 %). Con una sola cosecha, en agosto, se lograría un material con menor contenido de cenizas y humedad, en las tres especies.

En la cáscara de mandarina Satsuma ‘Okitsu’ se detectó en Uruguay un manchado durante la postcosecha, ocasionando en algunos años importantes pérdidas. En este trabajo se estudió el daño a nivel micro y macroscópico, su asociación con factores ambientales previos a la cosecha y el efecto del desverdizado y encerado de frutos sobre su incidencia y severidad. A partir de los 15 días de almacenamiento, se visualizó entre las glándulas de aceite una zona irregular de color pardo. Luego de 15 días de mostrador, en las zonas con síntomas más severos, se observó colapso de células subepidérmicas, avanzando hacia el parénquima subyacente y en algunos casos hacia la epidermis, sin afectar a la cutícula. En los dos primeros años evaluados, la incidencia de frutos manchados fue de 17 % y 7 % respectivamente, mientras que en los dos últimos no se registraron frutos afectados. La mayor incidencia se asoció a un período de mayor temperatura máxima, menor humedad relativa y menores precipitaciones durante los 10 días previos a la cosecha. El desverdizado no afectó la incidencia de frutos manchados a los 30 días de almacenamiento + 15 de vida de mostrador, mientras que el encerado de frutos la disminuyó en más de un 50 %. Los resultados sugieren que las condiciones ambientales precosecha favorables a la deshidratación de frutos y/o las condiciones postcosecha que no logren evitar la pérdida de agua, promueven el manchado de los frutos de mandarina Satsuma ‘Okitsu’.

Published: October 2018

This paper presents OpMAP: a tool for visualizing large scale, multi-dimensional opinion spaces as geographic maps. OpMAP represents opinions as labelings on a structured deductive argumentation framework. It uses probabilistic degrees of justification and Bayesian coherence measures to calculate how strongly any two opinions cohere with each other. The opinion sample is, accordingly, represented as a weighted graph, a so-called opinion graph, with opinion vectors serving as nodes and coherence values as edge weights. OpMAP partitions the nodes of the opinion graph by using clustering methods. Finally, the graph is visualized as a geographic map using a method based on a particular (e.g., force-directed) layout.

Authors: Singh Ajay Pratap , Lakshminrusimha Satyan , Thompson Mark E.
Published: October 2018

OBJECTIVE:

The primary aim of this pilot study was to assess feasibility and to evaluate if peri-operative pain management with regional analgesia resulted in decreased use of narcotic medication and earlier return to preoperative respiratory/nutritional status.

STUDY DESIGN:

Cases were defined as infants who received regional analgesia as part of their perioperative anesthetic management. Controls were matched for surgical procedures without regional analgesia.

RESULTS:

Fifteen cases were identified and matched with 17 controls. Infants undergoing inguinal hernia repair returned to baseline earlier and were not intubated. There was no difference in time to extubation in other thoracoabdominal surgeries. There was no difference in cumulative narcotic analgesia administered between the two groups.

CONCLUSION:

Postoperative regional analgesia is feasible in neonates. Inguinal hernia repair with regional anesthesia was performed without intubation and returned to preoperative status earlier. No differences were observed with other surgeries. Further prospective, randomized, multicenter studies are needed.
