Authors: D. V. Proniaiev  
Published: December 2021

Considering the complexity of prenatal and postnatal diagnostics of female gynecological pathology, the examination of 50 dead fetuses has been conducted by means of classical anatomical methods of investigation. The objective of the study was to find the regulations of normal and pathological perinatal uterine morphogenesis. As the result of the study conducted, normal and pathological forms of the uterus and their characteristic affiliation to a certain period of the fetal development have been detected. At the beginning of the fetal period sulcate and two-humped uterus prevails. Flat and protruding shape of the uterine fundus is found in the mature fetuses. The processes of definite organization of the uterine structure have been found to occur in the postnatal period of ontogenesis. Morphological peculiarities of the uterine structure have been differentiated to determine the age of the fetus.

Published: December 2021

Moving towards a developed nation in 2050, government is committed to boost up the wellbeing and income of low-income earners (B40) household towards middle class society. Considering SMEs instrumental roles in creating prosperity for the nation, variety of programs have been established in promoting entrepreneurial activity to address pockets of poverty and socio-economic imbalances among B40 group. Therefore, study related to B40 entrepreneurial intention is worth further examination. Following the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), the study examines the extent to which attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control predict entrepreneurial intention among B40 in Malaysia. A questionnaire survey was done using the sample of B40. The hypotheses were analysed by using partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The result suggests that only attitude and perceived behavioural control were significant to explain B40 entrepreneurial intention yet subjective norm was found as a non-significant predictor in explaining B40 entrepreneurial intention. The paper extends the current knowledge on entrepreneurial intention by analyzing the impact of different factors recognized by TPB on entrepreneurial intention and provide insightful input from the context of B40 in Malaysia.

Malaysian Tertiary ESL Students' Writing Errors and Their Implications on English Language Teaching
Authors: Mehat Siti Zawani , Ismail Lilliati 
Published: December 2021

Abstract: Errors, either in writing or speaking, are common in second language production. Researchers have long been investigating English as Second Language (ESL) learners' errors because they may produce different kinds of errors than native speakers. The purpose of this study was to identify errors made by adult ESL learners and to examine the L1 interference in writing errors. Writing samples were collected from 30 students enrolled in the academic writing class in Universiti Putra Malaysia, and the errors were identified, recorded, and analyzed to determine whether they were intralingual or interlingual ones. The study results showed that most of the errors were in subject-verb agreement and verb tenses, which could be caused by first language (L1) influence. The findings of this study would shed light on the types of errors these ESL learners make and their weaknesses in using the English language. Besides, the findings could support instructors, curricula creators, and textbook writers to create and offer materials that could help learners enhance their command of the English language.

Published: December 2021

Abstract: This repeated measure experiment study aimed to explore LINUS students or Low Achiever (LA) students’ improvement in learning English language vocabularies using Mobile Augmented Visual Reality (MAVR). It specifically tried to analyse the effect of MAVR on the English vocabulary development of 45 primary school students from the LINUS programme in Selangor. In this study, they were provided access to an AVR-game based apps in learning English vocabularies with mobile computing devices. Vocabulary size was later measured using the British Picture Vocabulary Scale II and analysed with repeated measures ANOVA. Analysis showed that there was an increase in the scores and the differences between the levels of the within-subjects factor was significant. This implies that Mobile Augmented Visual Reality (MAVR) materials can be used as an interactive tool for LA learners in learning a language. Findings highlight the role of teachers in the implementation process and point out possible directions for more effective application of MAVR in this field.

Published: December 2021

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has forced an immediate implementation of online learning. However, little is known about its effectiveness and challenges faced by the students. Thus, this study is aimed at examining the effectiveness of online learning and the challenges that it presents to pupils’ abilities to learn. This study employed a case study design using a survey questionnaire, administered to 99 students from a secondary school in Jasin, Melaka. Data were analysed descriptively (calculation of percentage and frequency). Generally, the findings indicated that the students have computers or smartphones and an internet connection at home. Besides, it was found that that the ability and comfortability to use computers was high (>93%). However, their motivation in online learning was low (41.5%) and ability to work in a group was at a moderate level (66.7%). They also agreed that conventional teaching (face-to-face) was important for their learning (98%). These findings are valuable for the government, school administrators, teachers and parents to acknowledge the importance of well-equipped facilities and a stable internet connection for effective learning. However, it is recommended for future researchers to utilize a larger sample size and students from various backgrounds to better understand this issue.

Bilateral dorsal rotation of the talus with tibiotarsal, talocalcaneal, and proximal intertarsal joint subluxation in an alpaca
Authors: Duesterdieck-Zellmer Katja F. 
Published: December 2021

Abstract

CASE DESCRIPTION
A 14-month-old female alpaca presented with a 3-week history of acute left hind limb lameness and swelling of the left tarsal region.

CLINICAL FINDINGS
Radiography revealed intermittent dorsal rotation of the talus with tibiotarsal, talocalcaneal, and proximal intertarsal joint subluxation.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME
In an attempt to stabilize the talus, screws were placed in the distomedial aspect of the talus and the plantaromedial aspect of the central tarsal bone, and a stainless-steel wire was placed around the screws in a figure-eight pattern. The screw head of the proximal screw broke within 4 weeks after surgery, but subluxation did not recur, and the lameness resolved. Seven months later, the same condition was diagnosed in the opposite hind limb and was treated similarly. Implants remained intact on this side, but the animal started to show signs of pain and inability to flex the tarsal joint, prompting removal of the distal screw. Subsequently, the animal became sound and produced 2 healthy crias, but was euthanatized 4 years after the second surgery because of coccidiosis.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Dorsal rotation of the talus with tibiotarsal, talocalcaneal, and proximal intertarsal joint subluxation is a sporadic condition in New World camelids. This report provides the first account of successful treatment by surgical stabilization of the medial aspect of the proximal intertarsal joint.

Authors: Williams Natasha J. , Streeter Robert N. 
Published: December 2021

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To characterize clinical findings and outcomes for cattle with nonpathological phalangeal fractures.

ANIMALS
17 cattle with nonpathological phalangeal fractures.

PROCEDURES
Medical records of a teaching hospital were reviewed to identify cattle treated for nonpathological phalangeal fracture between May 2004 and May 2020. Information extracted from the records of study-eligible animals included signalment, history, clinical and diagnostic imaging findings, treatment, and survival to hospital discharge. Long-term outcome was assessed by telephone communication with owners.

RESULTS
9 bulls and 8 heifers or cows (age range, 1 to 7 years) of various breeds and uses were evaluated. Five of the 9 bulls were bucking stock, which were overrepresented in the study population. Seven animals had 8 distal phalanx fractures; 10 animals had 11 proximal phalanx fractures. Eight animals were treated by application of a hoof block on the unaffected adjacent digit, 7 animals were treated with a distal limb (n = 6) or transfixation pin (1) cast in addition to a hoof block, 1 animal was treated with a hoof trim to elevate and alleviate weight bearing on the affected digit, and 1 animal was euthanized immediately after diagnosis. Sixteen animals survived to hospital discharge. Follow-up was obtained for 12 animals, of which 9 returned to functionable use and 3 were culled.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Results suggested cattle with a nonpathological phalangeal fracture have a favorable prognosis for return to function following application of a hoof block to the unaffected adjacent digit with or without a distal limb cast.

Abstract
The main topic of this study is to determine the effect of selected antibiotics on the respirometric activity of sewage sludge microorganisms. Within the practical part of the work, several respirometric measurements were performed with activated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant, while the influence of three selected antibiotics — sulfamethoxazole, sulfapyridine, and ciprofloxacin, on sludge activity was monitored. The aim of the work was to point out the inhibitory effect of all monitored compounds on sludge activity and to quantify the inhibitory effect. For sulfamethoxazole (in the concentration range of 0.142—1.42 mg·L−1), the determined inhibition was in the range of 9.67—27.7 %, depending on the concentration of the test substance and the type of respirometric measurements. For sulfapyridine, inhibition values ranged from 1.13 % to 31.9 % for the concentration range from 0.134 to 1.34 mg·L−1. Ciprofloxacin inhibited the activity of activated sludge microorganisms in the range of 4.55 % to 28.8 % (at CPX concentrations from 0.104 to 1.04 mg·L−1).
