Published: November 2021

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate income and family planning decisions of American College of Zoological Medicine (ACZM) diplomates.

SAMPLE
98 ACZM diplomates.

PROCEDURES
An online survey was sent to 201 ACZM diplomates. Participation was voluntary.

RESULTS
98 (49%) diplomates responded to the survey. The most commonly reported income categories were $90,000 to $94,999, $100,000 to $104,999, and $110,000 to $114,999. Overall, the mean of the salary-category midpoint responses was $105,357 but was $122,917 for those in academia and $94,508 for those working in zoos and aquaria. When incomes of males and females were matched (24 pairs matched for gender and age), no difference in income was observed. There were no significant differences in income between males and females with and without children. Diplomates who did not complete a residency had significantly higher incomes than diplomates who did. Sixteen of 21 (76%) females and 9 of 19 (47%) males reported delaying having children because of their career. Additionally, a higher percentage of females with children (13/20 [65%]) than males with children (3/19 [16%]) felt that having children had had a negative effect on their career. Thirty-five of 41 (85%) females without children and 4 of 9 (44%) males without children thought having children would have negatively affected their careers.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Although substantial differences in income between female and male ACZM diplomates were not identified, differences in family planning and perceptions of the impact of having children on their careers did exist.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To investigate trends in animal shelter and rescue organization intake for dogs and cats in Colorado from 2008 to 2018.

SAMPLE
482 animal shelters and rescue organizations that reported annual intake data to the State of Colorado Department of Agriculture for 1,086,630 dogs and 702,333 cats.

PROCEDURES
Total intake, intake for each of 5 Pet Animal Care and Facilities Act categories (stray, owner surrender, intrastate transfer, interstate transfer, or other), and community-based intake (total intake after exclusion of transfers) of dogs and cats were assessed in total and for each organization type (shelter or rescue organization). The number taken in per year, number taken in/1,000 capita (human residents)/y, and number in each intake category as a percentage of total intake for the same species per year were analyzed with linear regression models.

RESULTS
Trend lines indicated that total dog intake increased over the study period, but there was no change when these data were adjusted for the human population. Cat intake decreased over time according to both of these measures. Total community-based intake decreased, whereas total intake by interstate transfer from other organizations increased for both species during the study period.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Increased transfer of dogs and cats across state lines into regions with low community-based shelter intake suggested that regional and national animal disease trends could potentially impact disease profiles for recipient areas. Findings supported efforts toward collecting animal shelter and rescue organization intake and outcome data across larger systems.
Prevalences of lumbosacral articulation anatomic variants identified on nuclear scintigraphy and transrectal ultrasonography of Selle Français Warmbloods, French Standardbred Trotters, and Thoroughbreds and agreement between results from the imaging modalities

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe scintigraphic and transrectal ultrasonographic anatomic variants of the lumbosacral (LS) articulation in horses and to determine the agreement between results obtained with each imaging modality.

ANIMALS
243 horses (81 Selle Français Warmbloods, 81 French Standardbred Trotters, and 81 Thoroughbreds).

PROCEDURES
A retrospective search of clinical records was conducted to identify horses that had undergone nuclear scintigraphy and transrectal ultrasonography of the LS region of the vertebral column between January 2016 and December 2019. Scintigraphic images were evaluated by 2 observers blinded to the other’s results for classification of LS articulation anatomic variants (scintigraphic type); intra- and interobserver agreement were determined. Ultrasonographic images were evaluated for classification of LS intervertebral symphysis anatomic variant (ultrasonographic grade) by 1 observer blinded to horses’ identities and scintigraphic findings; agreement analysis was performed between scintigraphic type and ultrasonographic grade. Descriptive and statistical analyses were performed to describe distribution of anatomic variants.

RESULTS
The scintigraphic classification system (scintigraphic type) had excellent intra- and interobserver agreement. Agreement between results for scintigraphic type and ultrasonographic grade was moderate (κ = 0.61; 95% CI, 0.52 to 0.70). Anatomic variants of the LS articulation were observed in all groups. The distribution of variants differed significantly among breeds but not sexes.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Anatomic variations of the LS articulation in horses must be known to avoid misinterpreting them as clinically meaningful findings. Further research is needed to determine potential relationships between these anatomic variants and LS lesions, their clinical manifestations, and their influence on athletic performance.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To report clinical, surgical, and pathological findings in client-owned rabbits with histologically confirmed appendicitis.

ANIMALS
19 rabbits.

PROCEDURES
Medical records for client-owned rabbits that had a histologic diagnosis of appendicitis were reviewed.

RESULTS
Median age of the rabbits at presentation was 24.0 months (range, 4 to 84 months). Seventeen cases occurred during the summer and fall seasons. Decreased appetite (17/19 rabbits), abnormal rectal temperature (hyperthermia, 9/16 rabbits; hypothermia, 4/16 rabbits), hypocalcemia (8/11 rabbits), and hypoglycemia (7/15 rabbits) were common signs. Abdominal ultrasonography and CT findings were suggestive of appendicitis in 6 of 8 rabbits and in 1 of 2 rabbits, respectively. Of the 6 rabbits that received medical treatment, 3 died at 48 hours, 1 died at 24 hours after hospitalization, and 1 died at 10 days after presentation; 1 rabbit was alive at 1,030 days after presentation. Of the 8 rabbits that underwent appendectomy, 3 died before discharge from the hospital and 1 died 113 days after surgery; 4 rabbits were alive at 315, 334, 1,433, and 1,473 days after presentation. The remaining 5 rabbits either died or were euthanized before treatment could be instituted. In each of the 19 rabbits, the appendix had evidence of severe inflammation with mucosal ulceration, heterophilic inflammation, and necrotic debris.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
For rabbits with decreased appetite and an apparently painful abdomen, hyperthermia, hypocalcemia, or hypoglycemia, appendicitis should be considered as a differential diagnosis. Further comparisons of medical and surgical treatments are required to establish treatment recommendations for rabbits with appendicitis.
Excisional biopsy and radiotherapy for management of an olfactory neuroblastoma in an axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum)
Authors: Modesto Florent , Nicolier Alexandra , Hurtrel Clémence , Benoît Jérôme 
Published: November 2021

Abstract

CASE DESCRIPTION
A 4-year-old sexually intact male leucistic axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) was presented with a 2-week history of dysrexia and difficulty swallowing.

CLINICAL FINDINGS
Physical examination revealed a 1-cm-diameter intraoral mass on the rostral aspect of the palate and swelling of the left nasal fossa. Local invasion into the left nasal fossa was suspected during oral examination. The lesion was marginally excised, and an incompletely excised olfactory neuroblastoma was diagnosed histologically. Five weeks later, physical examination revealed persistent erythema, delayed healing of the rostral portion of the palate, and a mild facial deformity associated with a white mass in the nasal cavity.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME
6 weeks after excision, adjuvant electron (6-MeV) beam radiotherapy was initiated for treatment of the incompletely excised olfactory neuroblastoma and likely presence of a recurrent mass. The protocol consisted of 4 weekly fractions of 8 Gy each (total, 32 Gy) with the axolotl under anesthesia. No acute adverse radiation effects were noted following radiotherapy. The oral erythema resolved after the third session. No recurrence was observed 2 months after treatment, and the owners reported no abnormal signs at home. The axolotl died 3.5 months after radiotherapy was completed (8 months after marginal excision of the tumor) secondary to an environmental management failure. Postmortem histologic evaluation showed no evidence of neoplasia.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
In axolotls, olfactory neuroblastoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intraoral palatal masses. This report describes the first application of radiotherapy for treatment of an olfactory neuroblastoma in an axolotl.
Evaluation of a novel communication and consultation skills model (WISE COACH) on dog owner perceptions of veterinarians and projected spending on veterinary care
Authors: Clark James J. , Linder Cassandra M. 
Published: November 2021

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To assess the impact of a novel communication and consultation skills model (WISE COACH [WC]) on dog owner perceptions of veterinarians and projected spending on veterinary care.

SAMPLE
1,200 US dog owners who had visited a veterinarian within the prior 18 months.

PROCEDURES
Video recordings of 2 staged client consultations were made, with the veterinarian following the WC recommendations in one video and not following them in the other (control). Participants were randomly assigned to view one of the videos and completed an online survey to assess their perceptions and projected spending. Qualitative responses were coded to identify themes.

RESULTS
The veterinarian was rated significantly higher in the WC video than in the control video for the characteristics first impression, skilled and knowledgeable, cares about me, cares about my pet, and communicates clearly, and was rated significantly lower for the characteristic rushed or abrupt. Participants who viewed the WC video were significantly more likely to follow the veterinarian’s recommendations, return to see the veterinarian, and recommend the veterinarian. They were also approximately 1.4 times as likely to approve the full recommended treatment plan, and their projected total spending was approximately 15% higher than projected spending for participants who viewed the control video.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Results showed improved client perceptions, client retention, quality of patient care, and financial metrics when the veterinarian followed the WC recommendations. Further study is needed to determine whether this model may also improve veterinarian well-being by improving client relationships and decreasing resistance to recommendations.
The key factors contributing to the risk, diagnosis and treatment of non-tuberculous mycobacterial opportunistic infections
Authors: Grzegorzewicz Anna , Paściak Mariola 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of diseases caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have been steadily increasing worldwide. NTM are environmental saprophytic organisms; however, a few strains are known to produce diseases in humans affecting pulmonary and extra-pulmonary sites. Although the environment is a major source of NTM infection, recent studies have shown that person-to-person dissemination could be an important transmission route for these microorganisms. Structural and functional lung defects and immunodeficiency are major risk factors for acquiring NTM infections. Diagnosis of NTM diseases is very complex owing to the necessity of distinguishing between a true pathogen and an environmental contaminant. Identification at the species level is critical due to differences in the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of various NTM strains. Such identification is mainly achieved by molecular methods; additionally, mass spectrometry (e.g., MALDI-TOF) is useful for NTM species determination. Natural resistance of NTM species to a wide spectrum of antibiotics makes prescribing treatment for NTM diseases very difficult. NTM therapy usually takes more than one year and requires multi-drug regimens, yet the outcome often remains poor. Therefore, alternatives to antibiotic therapy treatment methods is an area under active exploration. NTM infections are an active global health problem imposing the necessity for better diagnostic tools and more effective treatment methods.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Sales associates need emotional intelligence (EI) in dealing with job stress and perceived job satisfaction. So far, there has been no research that explains the effect of job stress on job satisfaction with EI as a mediating variable in the sales associate profession. This study examines EI's role in managing job stress allows sales associates to achieve job satisfaction. The population in this study is comprised of sales associates in Jakarta-Indonesia, who work in malls that target middle to upper-class level customers, with a sample size of 100 respondents. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling; the analysis uses the simple mediation model with the macro process through SPSS process 22.0 for Windows using ordinary least squares and logistic regression path analysis modeling. The finding reveals that the higher the level of EI, the stronger the extent to which the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction is mediated.

Abstract
Automated production and assembly lines can be considered a crucial factor in accelerating the production processes and achieving the maximum financial savings. In particular, specialized single-purpose machines can significantly reduce production or assembly time. The submitted article presents a design of a single-purpose device that is used for the automated assembly of a roller bush with a screw. These components are then used for construction and agricultural vehicles to attach other components. Naturally, the design of this specific device is more demanding in terms of time consumption, precision, detail and initial investment than similar less complicated all-purpose devices. Nevertheless, single-purpose devices turn out to be a better option in the sense of quality and profit both in the long-term and high-capacity projects, such as automotive industry, agricultural and construction machinery. The best alternative was selected from several proposals using the evaluation method. The assembly machine was designed and optimized using Computer Aided Design systems and Finite Element Method analyses. The resulting equipment was used in practice, where it significantly increased the productivity and production efficiency.

In the era of globalization that is continuously developing, organizations are required to be able to adapt themselves more quickly to changes and challenges that occur. These changes can be in various ways that directly or indirectly affect the survival and performance of the organization in general. To be able to compete globally, organizations need to be supported by superior human resources in terms of job satisfaction, psychological capital, work engagement, as well as performance. One of the companies in the food and beverage sector that have been established since 1960, namely PT BG is a family company that initially only had one store in the West Jakarta area and to date has 60 stores spread across Jabodetabek, Karawang, Cikarang, Surabaya, and Bali. To improve the quality of these products and services, it is necessary to be supported by a professional, competent workforce who also has good performance to support the achievement of the company's business. Data obtained from questionnaires were distributed via a google form. The sample used in this study was 132 respondents with the help of SmartPLS software. The results showed that work engagement mediated the effect of psychological capital on employee performance in a positive direction and work engagement mediated the effect of job satisfaction on employee performance in a positive direction. Di era globalisasi yang terus menerus berkembang ini, organisasi dituntut untuk dapat lebih cepat dalam menyesuaikan diri terhadap perubahan-perubahan maupun tantangan-tantangan yang terjadi. Perubahan-perubahan tersebut bisa dalam berbagai hal yang secara langsung maupun tidak langsung berdampak pada kelangsungan hidup maupun kinerja organisasi secara umum. Untuk dapat tepat bersaing secara global, organisasi perlu didukung oleh sumber daya manusia yang unggul dari segi kepuasan kerja, psychological capital, work engagement, maupun kinerja yang handal. Salah satu perusahaan di bidang makanan dan minuman yang telah berdiri sejak tahun 1960, yaitu PT BG merupakan perusahaan keluarga yang pada awalnya hanya memiliki satu store yang terdapat di daerah Jakarta Barat dan sampai pada saat ini telah memiliki 60 store yang tersebar di Jabodetabek, Karawang, Cikarang, Surabaya, dan Bali. Tentu untuk meningkatkan kualitas produk dan layanan tersebut perlu didukung oleh tenaga kerja yang profesional, kompeten, dan juga memiliki performa yang baik untuk menunjang pencapaian bisnis perusahaan. Data diperoleh dari kuesioner yang disebar melalui google form. Sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 132 responden dengan bantuan software SmartPLS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa work engagement memediasi pengaruh psychological capital terhadap kinerja karyawan dengan arah yang positif dan work engagement memediasi pengaruh kepuasan kerja terhadap kinerja karyawan dengan arah yang positif.
Utopie et migration

Published: November 2021

En 2007 est inauguré le ministère français de l’Immigration, de l’Intégration, de l’Identité nationale et du Codéveloppement, érigé en réaction à l’afflux croissant de migrants. Dans le manifeste Quand les murs tombent. L’identité nationale hors-la-loi ?, Glissant et Chamoiseau lancent un appel contre ce « mur » qui menace la relation à l’autre, menace qui, dix ans plus tard, dans un contexte de crise migratoire, est toujours d’une actualité brûlante. Cette analyse textuelle, ouverte sur une lecture rhétorique et phénoménologique, sonde l’hypothèse suivante : plaidant pour un droit à la mobilité, l’essai articulerait étroitement ressentir et agir, comme si l’éthique de considération à l’égard du monde commun invitait à une pure praxis, celle d’utopies cosmopolitiques ancrées dans le divers de la réalité.
La raison « saisie par l’affect »
Authors: Bonneau Lara 
Published: November 2021

En 1928-1929 le philosophe Aby Warburg s’est intéressé de près à la cosmologie et à l’éthique de Giordano Bruno, attirant l’attention sur l’attachement du philosophe aux images mythologiques et à la pensée astrologique. Croisant la lecture du Spaccio della bestia trionfante et celle des Eroici furori, l’historien de l’art a interprété la révolution brunienne comme un mouvement d’arrachement à l’astrologie vers l’astronomie moderne et a souligné l’importance de « l’affect héroïque » dans ce processus de rationalisation. Revenant sur les étapes de l’interprétation de Bruno par Warburg, l’article montre que celle-ci éclaire un aspect fondamental de l’anthropologie historique de l’historien de l’art : l’idée selon laquelle, à la Renaissance, l’expérience passionnée transmise par les Pathosformeln de l’Antiquité tardive a autant contribué au surgissement du sujet moderne que la révolution scientifique copernicienne.
