Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the most commonly isolated bacteria cultured from synovial fluid samples from horses with suspected septic synovitis treated at an equine referral hospital between May 1, 2008, and September 24, 2017.

SAMPLE
131 synovial fluid samples from 108 client-owned horses.

PROCEDURES
A retrospective medical record search was conducted to identify horses with suspected septic synovitis and results of synovial fluid bacterial culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Data collected included signalment, known or suspected origin of synovial contamination, synovial structures affected, antimicrobial treatment, and results of synovial fluid cytologic evaluation and bacterial culture and susceptibility testing. Horses were grouped as adults (≥ 6 months old) or foals (< 6 months old).

RESULTS
Results of bacterial culture were positive for 34 of 70 (49%) and 18 of 61 (30%) samples from 68 adult horses and 40 foals, respectively. Gram-positive bacteria were more common in adult horses, whereas gram-negative bacteria were more common in foals. No multidrug-resistant microorganisms were identified. For adult horses, 92% (23/25) of gram-positive isolates tested with penicillin and gentamicin were susceptible to the combination. For foals, 94% (15/16) of isolates tested with penicillin, gentamicin, or both had susceptibility to 1 or both antimicrobials.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Periodic review of bacterial profiles and antimicrobial susceptibility in horses with septic synovitis can help to detect early changes in bacterial pressure and antimicrobial resistance. Findings suggested that in the geographic area we serve, a combination of penicillin and gentamicin would be an effective empirical antimicrobial treatment for most horses with septic synovitis while results of bacterial culture and susceptibility are pending.

Published: March 2020

A series of new heritage discoveries were found during several field-trips from November 2018 to May 2019 in whole area of The Central Highlands with supporting from the project, coded TN17/T06. The most remarkable discoveries are two archaeological sites: The first one is located on Ho Tre crater in Krong Ana district, Dak Lak province and the second one – along the Ba river ancient valley, in Phu Thien district, Gia Lai province. On Ho Tre crater, we collected many types of archaeological artifacts, including stone hand-axes in oval and short shapes, stone cores, flakes, grind-stones, making-fire stones (?), and several broken fragments pieces of pottery, which featured for the shape and technique types in the Neolithic Age. In archaeological sites in Phu Thien district, a series of stone tools, including uni-facial and bi-facial tools, rough-cutting tools such as side-chopper, end-chopper scrapers, spearhead tools, flake tools, etc., characterized as the shape and technique types in duration the Paleolithic Age were found. These findings play an important role in science to clarify development process of human history since pre-history up to now in Vietnam and in the region as well. Moreover, it is more significant to possibly establish a conservation strategy and to locally develop tourism.

El Tren Interurbano México-Toluca, un proyecto que atenta en contra del medio ambiente y los derechos humanos en La Marquesa, México
Authors: García Galván Marta 
Published: March 2020

El Tren Interurbano México-Toluca (TIMT) es un proyecto que conectará el Valle de Toluca y la Zona Poniente de la Ciudad de México mediante un sistema de transporte moderno, considerado primero en su género en Latinoamérica, que pretende igualar el nivel de transporte de pasajeros al de ciudades como Nueva York, Chicago, Madrid, Londres, Ámsterdam y otras grandes ciudades interconectadas por vía ferroviaria. Sin embargo, para su construcción ha devastado Áreas Naturales Protegidas como El Parque Nacional Insurgente Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla conocido popularmente como La Marquesa, considerado éste el único pulmón verde que queda entre el Distrito Federal y Toluca en el centro de México. Dicha obra ha ocasionando daños irreversibles en materia ambiental, económica, social y política que ha traído consigo manifestaciones y descontentos de los pobladores con el gobierno encabezado por el Presidente Enrique Peña Nieto, quien lejos de dialogar y solucionar sus problemas ha enviado a la fuerza pública para custodiar el tramo de construcción en esta zona tratando de intimidar a la población y en vez de generar desarrollo para sus comunidades, ha traído consigo el incremento de la pobreza y marginación para las generaciones presentes y futuras de la región, ya que es una zona que se dedica principalmente al turismo y al comercio. Estas dos actividades se han visto mermadas por la construcción de dicha obra y por la presencia de elementos de la fuerza pública. Por ello, en este artículo se pretende evidenciar el daño ocasionado a las estructuras ambientales, económicas, sociales y políticas de la gente de La Marquesa por la construcción del TIMT, para lo cual, se recopiló información relevante a través de entrevistas con informantes clave mediante el método etnográfico desde una perspectiva de la geografía humana y poder hacer un análisis del impacto que tienen los megaproyectos sobre el medio ambiente y los pueblos originarios.

A produção do espaço urbano e os processos de diferenciação socioespacial:
Authors: Manfio Vanessa 
Published: March 2020

A produção do espaço é o resultado do trabalho da sociedade no espaço natural e também no urbanizado. Sendo um processo que envolve tempos, ritmos e agentes diferentes, produzindo conflitos, contradições e processos de diferenciação socioespacial que acirram ainda mais a fragmentação espacial. No Brasil, estas questões estão, cada vez mais, presentes nas cidades, principalmente a segregação social é intensa e contribui para proliferação da violência, discriminação, desigualdades, entre outros emblemas urbanos.
Diante disso, este artigo objetiva realizar uma discussão teórica acerca da produção e diferenciação socioespacial, articulando com fatos da realidade brasileira, a fim de contribuir com a Geografia Urbana e com os problemas urbanos brasileiros, buscando pensar numa cidade mais igualitária e social. Para isto, utilizou-se a abordagem descritiva e a análise de literaturas especializadas nas discussões propostas no artigo.

Trend analysis of nigerian rice sub-sector indices: lessons for rice self sufficiency in nigeria
Authors: O OYINBO , G Z REKWOT , N M SADIQ 
Published: March 2020

This study was undertaken to empirically examine the trends of rice consumption, rice production, rice import and rice area harvested in Nigeria over the period of 1960 to 2011 with the special interest on drawing up lessons for achieving rice self sufficiency in Nigeria. Secondary data were employed in this study and were analysed using descriptive statistics notably graphical analysis. It was noted that rice consumption is growing faster than rice production in Nigeria and therefore, the growing trend of rice importation to meet local demand will incessantly continue leading to a steady loss of revenue in importing rice. It was recommended that adequate policies aimed at boosting rice production through increase in rice productivity other than just the expansion of rice area harvested should be embraced by all the stakeholders in the Nigerian rice subsector so as to achieve rice self sufficiency in line with the agricultural transformation agenda of Nigeria.
Sensitivity of the neutron multiplication factor to water ingress into a spent fuel cask
Authors: Leotlela M. J. , Petr I. , Mathye A. 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
An essential component of safety analyses is the investigation of accident scenarios. In this paper water ingress scenarios of spent fuel containers, as they may occur during transport or storage, are examined. In the main body of this paper, a number of paths are studied through which water can gain access to the spent fuel cask and eventually reach the fuel pellet, potentially resulting in an increase in reactivity as a result of over-moderation. The primary objective of this project was to perform an assessment of what, in the unlikely event of a Fukushima- type accident, the impact would be on the reactivity of the cask by analyzing a gradual increase in water level in the spent fuel casks. In addition, the way the keff of the system responds to such an increase is discussed. The paper also provides the results of an assessment of the reactivity effect of water ingress via various pathways/channels.

Abstract
Steam generators are one of the most important components of pressurized-water reactors. This component plays the role of heat transfer and pressure boundary between primary and secondary side fluids. The Once Through Steam Generator (OTSG) is an essential component of the integrated nuclear power system. In this paper, steady-state analysis of primary and secondary fluids in the Integral Economizer Once Through Steam Generator (IEOTSG) have been presented by Single Heated Channel (SHC) and subchannel modelling. Models have been programmed by MATLAB and FORTRAN. First, SHC model has been used for this purpose (changes are considered only in the axial direction in this model). Second, the subchannel approach that considers changes in the axial and also radial directions has been applied. Results have been compared with Babcock and Wilcox (B&W) 19- tube once through steam generator experimental data. Thermal- hydraulic profiles have been presented for steam generator using both of models. Accuracy and simplicity of SHC model and importance of localization of thermal-hydraulic profiles in subchannel approach have been proved.

Published: March 2020

Abstract
The most important material for shielding is concrete in nuclear facilities which performance can be improved by addition some Nanoparticles (NP) at the various concentrations. Nanoparticles, which have a distinctive potential for bio-radiation and shielding of nuclear reactors, are used in many areas due to their special characteristics, which lead to an improvement in the mechanical properties and the pore structure of the concrete shield. The aim of this research was to initiate a novel coefficient (n), experiment to theory density ratio for integrated NP at different nanoparticle concentrations (xnano), established upon purely mathematical viewpoints and some appropriate physical objectives.
Developing a futuristic multi-objective optimization of the fuel management problems for the nuclear research reactors
Authors: Hedayat A. 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
In this paper, at the same time, two separate objectives and two safety and operational constraints are chosen to optimize fuel reloading pattern of a Material Testing Reactor (MTR), independently and coherently. This is one of the most difficult type of engineering problems as a constrained, non-continuous, combinatorial, and fully multi-objective optimization problem. Decision space is a non-continuous multimodal space restricted by both of the combinatorial and safety constraints. A smart software application and a robust hybrid algorithm have been developed to get Pareto optimal set with respect to both of the economy of irradiating utilizations and nuclear safety based on the heuristic soft computing. The hybrid algorithm is composed of a fast and elitist Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) and a fast fitness function evaluating system based on the semi-deep learning cascade feed forward Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). The smart software is used to produce database automatically required for the ANN training and test data. It can be also used to revise data accurately, impose further irradiating benefits or Operating Limits and Conditions (OLCs), and to advise the reactor supervisor on the most desire pattern based on the smart searches and filtering. The results are highly promising. For more details, optimization results dominate conventional operating core parameters, significantly. Also chosen OLCs are protected. Furthermore, this is very good practice to reach a fully developed practical application of the complex soft computing for the nuclear fuel management problems.
Metallurgical and wear study of MWCNT-reinforced h-AMMC fabricated through microwave hybrid sintering
Authors: Kumar Rajat , Bhowmick Hiralal , Gupta Dheeraj 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
The present work deals with the outcomes of a novel approach for developing a multi-walled carbon nanotube-reinforced hybrid aluminium metal matrix composite. Microwave hybrid sintering in combination with cold compaction of the powder metallurgy route was followed for the fabrication of composites. Microwave hybrid sintering was carried out using a microwave oven operating at 2.45 GHz frequency and 900 W power. For this purpose, Al5083 was used as the matrix material, and silicon carbide (15 wt.%) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (0.5 wt.%) the reinforcements. The fabricated composites were then characterized by hardness, microstructure, and porosity. An investigation on the wear resistance of the base alloy and the conventional and microwave sintered composites followed this. The findings of the present study reveal the fact that the addition of carbon nano-tubes in the composite and the use of microwave energy over conventional sintering have a significant effect on the property enhancement of the developed hybrid composite.
The effect of Al2O3 on fayalite-based copper smelting slags in equilibrium with matte and tridymite at 1 2008C and P(SO2) = 0.25 atm

Abstract
Experimental investigations have been undertaken to determine the effect of Al2O3in slag on the gas/slag/matte/tridymite equilibria in the multi-component Cu-Fe-O-S-Si-Al system at 1 200 8C, and P(SO2) = 0.25 atm. The experimental technique involves high temperature equilibration of synthetic samples on the open silica substrate in controlled gas atmospheres (CO/CO2/SO2/Ar), rapid quenching after a designated equilibration time followed by the compositional analysis of the condensed phases with electron probe X-ray microanalyzer. The experimental data of the present study provide information on the effect of alumina on the slag composition, such as the chemically dissolved copper, dissolved sulphur, and Fe/SiO2 ratio in slag at tridymite saturation at different Cu in matte. The new data have been used as inputs for the optimization of the thermodynamic databases for the copper-containing systems and can also be used to evaluate the fluxing strategy in the copper smelting operation.

Abstract
Samples of Fe82Ga18-xAlx (1.5 £ x £ 15) alloys were prepared using a high vacuum arc melting system and homogenized at 1100 8C for 3 h, 1 000 8C for 120 h, and 730 8C for 168 h. The Fe82Ga18-xAlx(3 £ x £ 13.5) alloys were annealed at 550 8C for 15 min, while being exposed to a low magnetic field. The structure of the alloys was analysed by X-ray diffraction and optical microscopy. The magnetostriction coefficient of each of the samples was measured. It was found that the magnetostriction values of Fe82Ga18-xAlx(3 £ x £ 13.5) alloys were enhanced by magnetic field annealing. The magnetostrictive growth rate of the Fe82Ga15Al3sample was particularly large at 165%, and the Fe82Ga9Al9sample showed the highest magnetostrictive coefficient (up to 114 · 10-6) without compressive stress.
Synthesis of LiCoO2 particles with tunable sizes by a urea-based-homogeneous-precipitation method
Authors: Motoyama Munekazu , Iwasaki Hiroki , Sakakura Miyuki , Yamamoto Takayuki , Iriyama Yasutoshi 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
This paper reports the synthesis of monodisperse spherical LiCoO2 particles in a wide range of average diameter using a urea-based-uniform-precipitation method. The average diameter of LiCoO2 particles can be varied from 2 to 14 lm with a uniform size distribution. The effective approach to maintain the size uniformity while changing the average size of LiCoO2 particles is to keep the ratio of [CO(NH2)2] to [CoSO4] at 8 even when the CoSO4 and urea concentrations are changed.
Polskie zapożyczenia leksykalne w ukraińskiej gwarze nadsańskiej (na przykładzie kilku wsi z regionu mościskiego)
Authors: Kostecka-Sadowa Anna 
Published: March 2020

The influence of the Polish language on the Ukrainian local dialect results from the long-lasting contact between the two languages and from the bilingualism of those who speak them. On the basis of the presented examples one may draw the conclusion that the complicated cultural and linguistic situation of the inhabitants of southern borderland, especially those belonging to the middle-aged and the young generation, results in the fact that it is difficult for them to specify their identity and to distinguish which language item is actually Ukrainian and which is a borrowing. The analysis of their Ukrainian dialect shows that its condition results from the development of both the external processes and the internal processes which include a diffusion of Polish influences. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish foreign influences from preserved archaisms or from the language’s own change and development.
Uwagi o typach sowietyzmów w prasie polskiej wydawanej w Rosji Radzieckiej w okresie międzywojennym (na przykładzie „Trybuny Radzieckiej”)
Authors: Graczykowska Tamara 
Published: March 2020

W artykule zostały zaprezentowane sowietyzmy wyekscerpowane z „Trybuny Radzieckiej” – centralnej gazety polskojęzycznej publikowanej w Moskwie w latach 1927-1938, wydawanej przez polskich komunistów przebywających w ZSRR w okresie międzywojennym. Sowietyzmy to jednostki odzwierciedlające nowe, radzieckie realia. W artykule przedstawiono cztery typy sowietyzmów: semantyczne (np. białogwardyjec, czerwony dyrektor), słowotwórcze (np. komsorg, partaktyw, politemigrant), stylistyczne (np. kapitalistyczna sfora) i onomastyczne (np. Leningrod, fabryka „Czerwony Sztandar”).
Język „Trybuny Radzieckiej”, tak jak innych wydawnictw polskojęzycznych w ZSRR w dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym, reprezentuje polszczyznę silnie zsowietyzowaną. Świadczą o tym nie tylko licznie zgromadzone sowietyzmy, ale cała „stylistyka radziecka” (slogany, uschematyzowane formuły, stereotypy, sztampowe słownictwo propagandowe) przebijająca się z każdej strony „Trybuny Radzieckiej” .
Otwartość młodzieży w mówieniu o seksie
Authors: Karwatowska Małgorzata , Tymiakin Leszek 
Published: March 2020

Celem artykułu jest omówienie sposobu, w jaki młodzież konceptualizuje seks. Badania prowadzone w lubelskich szkołach średnich oraz wśród studentów Uniwersytetu Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej dowodzą, że współcześnie młodzi ludzie przejawiają aprobujący stosunek do kwestii związanych z seksualnością, traktują ją jako coś atrakcyjnego i absolutnie naturalnego. Respondenci nie wstydzą się poruszania intymnych tematów, wyrażania w sygnalizowanym zakresie własnych oczekiwań i proponowania form ich zaspokajania. Z kilku znanych rodzajów otwartości w zebranym materiale przeważa zwierzanie się. Dominująca postawa zawiera niekiedy komponenty swoistego ekshibicjonizmu, który obejmuje zbyt bezpośrednie, wręcz ostentacyjne mówienie o sobie i sprawach bardzo osobistej natury. Przeprowadzona ankieta i wynikający z niej opis ukazują otwartość funkcjonującą zasadniczo w dwóch znaczeniach: a) jako pożądana (poza przypadkami ekshibicjonizmu) cecha postawy, która opiera się na pewnego rodzaju odwadze mówiącego/piszącego, oraz b) jako sposób komunikacji, polegający na nazywaniu rzeczy wprost, a nawet stosowaniu języka wulgarnego.
Rosyjskie antroponimy mieszkańców dziewiętnastowiecznego Piotrkowa Trybunalskiego
Authors: Klimas Agnieszka 
Published: March 2020

Wpływy rosyjskie w antroponimii mieszkańców dziewiętnastowiecznego Piotrkowa Trybunalskiego analizowano w trzech płaszczyznach, tj. 1) obraz społeczny ludności rosyjskiej w XIX wieku, wynikający z zapisów w księgach meldunkowych i metrykalnych Piotrkowa; 2) charakterystyka morfologiczna nazwisk należących do przedstawicieli społeczności rosyjskiej; 3) adaptacja fonetyczna, graficzna i morfologiczna antroponimów rosyjskich do polskiego systemu językowego. Taka analiza pozwoliła na wskazanie, iż najliczniejszą grupę osób pochodzenia rosyjskiego stanowili wojskowi oraz urzędnicy carscy. Nosili oni głównie nazwiska patronimiczne, utworzone od rosyjskich lub cerkiewnych podstaw imiennych. Omawiane antroponimy w różnym stopniu w dokumentach źródłowych ulegały polonizacji pod względem graficznym, fonetycznym, rzadziej morfologicznym. W sposób wariantywny zapisywano nazwy zawierające kontynuanty wschodniosłowiańskich s’, z’, c’ i š, ž, č oraz t’, d’, r’. Głoski te były realizowane graficznie z próbą oddania oryginalnej wymowy lub polonizowane i zapisywane zgodnie z polską normą językową.
Wiek zwierząt jako czynnik determinujący sposób ich konceptualizacji
Authors: Ziajka Beata 
Published: March 2020

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie utrwalonego w zasobie leksykalnym mieszkańców wsi sposobu konceptualizowania zwierząt ze względu na ich fazę życia. Analiza słownictwa animalistycznego zebranego w wyniku przeprowadzonych badań terenowych na obszarze wybranych wsi małopolskich wykazała, że parametr wieku w znacznym stopniu determinuje sposób oglądu i wartościowania zwierząt. W aktach wartościujących świat zwierzęcy silnie zaznacza się pragmatyczny punkt widzenia wiejskiej społeczności, która ocenia zwierzęta przez pryzmat ich użyteczności, często uwarunkowanej wiekiem. Wpływ czynnika temporalnego szczególnie widoczny jest w kategorii ‘nazw zwierząt młodych’, która jest wewnętrznie zróżnicowana. Współtworzy ją kilka różnorodnych podkategorii semantycznych odpowiadających poszczególnym fazom rozwoju istot niedorosłych. Szczegółowe dookreślenie wieku młodych zwierząt ma podłoże pragmatyczne, wiąże się z potrzebą wyznaczenia cezury, która niejednokrotnie decyduje o zmianie przeznaczenia zwierzęcia.
O ile słownictwo nazywające istoty młode jest nacechowane pozytywne, o tyle leksyka animalistyczna komunikująca treści semantyczne związane ze starością zwierząt w większości ma charakter deprecjonujący. Przyjęcie w interpretacji słownictwa animalistycznego perspektywy temporalnej jest zatem ściśle powiązane z kontekstem aksjologicznym, co szczególnie uwidacznia się w binarnej opozycji stare : młode.
