Authors: Ndazigaruye Gervais , Mushonga Borden , Kandiwa Erick , Samkange Alaster , Segwagwe Basiamisi E. 
Published: December 2018

A survey involving 120 small-scale dairy farmers was carried out to assess risk factors associated with brucellosis in cattle from selected sectors of Nyagatare District, Rwanda. A sample of cattle from nine selected sectors of Nyagatare was tested for brucellosis using the Rose Bengal Test. Of the respondents, 57.5% were unaware of brucellosis as a disease, 85.8% did not screen new additions to the herd for brucellosis and 82.5% did not remove brucellosis seropositive animals from the herd. The prevalence of brucellosis in herds with cows with no history of abortion was 38.5% and 17.0% in those with a history of abortion. None of the respondents disinfected abortion sites or vaccinated against brucellosis. The prevalence of brucellosis in cows with a history of retained placenta was 36% and 2% in those with no history of retained placenta. Of the respondents, 62.5% reportedly fed foetal membranes to dogs. About 65.8% of the respondents with brucellosis-positive animals reported a calving interval longer than 1 year. Katabagemu (28.6%) had the highest prevalence of brucellosis seropositivity while Karama had none. Brucellosis in cows (21.4%) was significantly higher than that in heifers (12.8%) (p 0.05), but there was no significant difference between heifers and bulls or between bulls and cows (p 0.05). The occurrence of brucellosis in herds with 40–70 cattle (26.9%) was significantly greater than the 14.9% of herds with 10–39 cattle (p 0.05). Seropositivity to brucellosis in cross-breed cattle (23.6%) was significantly greater than that in indigenous cattle (13.8%) (p 0.05). There was no significant difference in the overall prevalence of brucellosis in cattle from different grazing systems (p 0.05). Seropositivity to brucellosis was significantly different (p 0.05) between the fourth parity (32.5%) and first parity (14.3%) cows. The findings in this study confirmed the existence of brucellosis as a problem in Nyagatare and the authors recommend that farmer education on the epidemiology, risk factors and mitigation of the disease be undertaken as a matter of urgency.
THE CLEANING OF GLASS PIPING IN DAIRY PLANTS*
Authors: Fleischman F. F. , Holland R. F. 
Published: December 2018

The purpose of this study was to determine the relative efficiency of various chemical compounds used to clean permanently installed glass milk lines. Nine different commercial alkaline cleaners and four acid cleaners were selected.
To evaluate the effectiveness of each selected cleaner, a continuous thirty-day test was made at two dairy plants.
For purposes of comparison between physical (l80°F hot water) and chemical sanitization, a study of some of the more commonly used chemical germicidal agents was included.
The nine commercial alkaline cleaners adequately cleaned Pyrex brand glass pipe but all quaternary-ammonium compounds used in this study were unsatisfactory either as cleaners or sanitizers.
FIELD EXPERIENCE WITH ANTIBAC. A NEW TYPE OF CHLORINE SANITIZER
Authors: Bacon Leslie R. , Sotier Alfred L. , Roth Armin A. 
Published: December 2018

A new type of chlorine-liberating germicide designed to provide sanitizing solutions in the pH range of 5.8 to 7.0 has been introduced under the name of Wyandotte Antibac. This new germicide is a white, low-density powder based on 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin as the active agent and contains 16 percent available chlorine.
Data obtained from performance tests in food and beverage serving establishments in several cities show that Antibac is an outstanding sanitizer for eating and drinking utensils. In germicidal performance it is comparable to sodium hypochlorite but its action on the skin is much milder. The material is rapidly and completely soluble in hot or cold water and shows excellent wetting and rinsing behavior. Other favorable characteristics found are a lesser retention of chlorous odor by sanitized vessels and no adverse effects on the foaming of beverages. After the introduction of Antibac for the sanitization of farm dairy utensils in unsupervised tests a considerable reduction in total bacteria counts in the milk and a very notable reduction in heat-resistant bacteria counts were found.
Q FEVER AND ITS RELATION TO DAIRY PRODUCTS*
Authors: Enright J. B. , Thomas R. C. , Mullett P. A. 
Published: December 2018

Q fever is an infectious disease of man. It is found as an inapparent infection in animals. Cattle, sheep, and goats are found widely infected in nature and are probably the source of the organisms infecting man. These animals shed the organism in their milk which introduces it into the environment of man. It has been demonstrated that the rickettsiae of Q fever may survive present day pasteurization procedures.
This manuscript presents preliminary data of the survival of this organism when suspended in milk and subjected to various time-temperature combinations within the pasteurization range.
PRACTICAL SANITARY ASPECTS OF BULK MILK DISPENSING
Authors: Noles Samuel O. , Wilkowske H. H. 
Published: December 2018

Many sanitation problems have accompanied the rapid growth of the bulk dispensing method of serving milk.
This article deals with some of the current problems which have been observed by sanitarians in the field and their practical solution.
Until such time when sanitary equipment standards and timeproven operating and handling procedures are developed, the suggestions here should be of immediate practical value to the many sanitarians who are responsible for milk dispensing operations at the present time.
COMPARISON OF ESCHERICHIA COLI AND STREPTOCOCCUS FAECALIS AS A TEST ORGANISM TO DETERMINE THE SANITARY QUALITY OF FOOD
Authors: Allen C. H. , Fabian F. W. 
Published: December 2018

Part II
Six strains of E. coli and two strains of Strept. faecalis were seeded into 12 different foods having a pH range of 2.8 to 6.7. Viability tests were run at different time intervals to study the viability of these organisms in the different foods under normal conditions. The results showed that the growth curve of E. coli in the foods depended upon the food and that the height of the curve was determined by the initial inoculation. E. coli var. communis was more viable in the foods than were the other strains. Strept. faecalis remained viable longer in some of the acid foods such as orange juice with a pH of 3.5 and mayonnaise with a pH of 3.7 than did any of the strains of E. coli. There appeared to be little difference between the viability of the two organisms in the less acid foods within the time limits studied.
OBSERVATIONS ON THE THERMAL INACTIVATION OF THE ORGANISM OF Q FEVER IN MILK.1
Authors: Enright J. B. , Sadler W. W. , Thomas R. C. 
Published: December 2018

Q Fever is an infectious disease of man. Cattle, sheep and goats, who for the most part suffer inapparent infections with the organism, are the important sources of infection for man. These animals shed the organism in their milk.
This manuscript reports on the cooperative studies designed to determine the times and temperatures needed to eliminate the causative rickettsiae, Coxiella burnetii, from cows milk. It is reported that the present minimum standard of pasteurization by the vat method of 143° F. for 30 minutes is inadequate, but the temperature of 145° F. for 30 minutes will eliminate the organism. The pasteurization of milk according to the present standards for HTST equipment of 161° F. for 15 seconds seems adequate to destroy C. burnetii.
CAUSES AND CONTROL OF CORROSION OF STAINLESS STEEL, ESPECIALLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH MILK AND OTHER FOOD EQUIPMENT1
Authors: Riegel G. M. 
Published: December 2018

This paper presents background information regarding classified types of corrosion of stainless steels and methods of preventing corrosion. Detergent cleaning is discussed with reference to a general chart. A few examples of dairy equipment corrosion are shown and analyzed.
In-place cleaning has proven to have some very definite advantages for both farm and city dairies. It is thought that sanitizers have been responsible for most of the pitting on stainless dairy equipment.

Authors: Magnien Agnès 
Published: December 2018

Desde su creación en 1974, el INA se encarga de la gestión y conservación del patrimonio audiovisual de la televisión y la radio públicas. La creación del Depósito Legal para la televisión en 1992, supuso la recopilación de los archivos de otras cadenas de televisión. En la actualidad el INA efectúa la captación directa, 24 horas 7 días a la semana, de la emisión de 102 cadenas de televisión, la analiza, asegura su preservación y la hace accesible para los investigadores. En este artículo se trata de dar a conocer y actualizar la situación sobre la preservación y la gestión de los documentos audiovisuales del INA en el entorno digital, para lograr un acceso rápido y fácil a los contenidos, gracias a procesos de descripción documental y herramientas informáticas en plena restructuración actualmente como consecuencia de la fusión de varias bases de datos documentales que estaban en uso hasta ahora. La necesidad de dar una respuesta mejor a las expectativas de clientes y usuarios, ha implicado también una evolución en los perfiles profesionales tanto de los técnicos como de los documentalistas y una nueva forma de funcionamiento. La descentralización de la consulta, una política de creación audiovisual activa utilizando nuevas herramientas de difusión e incluso la promoción de redes académicas para hacer accesibles en línea las colecciones del fondo documental, son algunos de los muchos proyectos para compartir juntos.

Published: December 2018

Estudo que objetivou descrever a utilização da Estratégia de Atenção Integrada às Doenças Prevalentes na Infância (AIDPI) por médicos e enfermeiros que atuavam na Estratégia Saúde da Família em capital do centro-oeste brasileiro. Estudo descritivo desenvolvido com 50 médicos e 51 enfermeiros que trabalhavam em unidades de saúde da família. Os dados foram coletados utilizando-se um questionário. A maioria dos pesquisados era do sexo feminino (69,3%), com três a cinco anos de formados (32,7%), sendo que 50,5% demonstrou conhecer o conteúdo sobre a estratégia, aprendido durante a graduação. Cerca de 44,6% dos profissionais utiliza parcialmente a estratégia, sendo que o elemento mais usado por eles é a avaliação de crescimento e anemia (25,4%). Os resultados encontrados são preocupantes, pois a não utilização de todos os componentes da AIDPI pode refletir na impossibilidade de detecção de doenças tratáveis na atenção primária, aumentando o número de internações hospitalares evitáveis.

Authors: Haiashida Keila Andrade , Maia Ricardo Hélio Chaves 
Published: December 2018

O objetivo do artigo foi analisar as produções sobre educação permanente em saúde a partir da nova concepção que norteia essa política, um enfoque direcionado para prevenção de doenças e promoção da saúde. Desse modo, foram consultadas as bases de dados Literatura Latino-Americana em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs), Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) e a Rede de Revistas Científicas da América Latina e Caribe, Espanha e Portugal (Redalyc), usando como critério de inclusão artigos completos publicados entre 2012 e 2017, cuja seleção resultou na síntese e avaliação de 17 artigos com discussões estruturadas sobre três eixos, a saber: a concepção pedagógica das propostas de educação permanente em saúde; os documentos e leis que subsidiam essa política e o uso de tecnologias da informação e comunicação. No tocante à concepção pedagógica o que se percebe é uma tentativa de superação das abordagens tradicionais e a adoção de modelos construtivistas com uso do conceito de aprendizagem significativa e colaborativa; ensino contextualizado e problematizado a partir dos conhecimentos prévios manifestos pelos cursistas; desenvolvimento de habilidades técnicas, mas também humanísticas e éticas. Quanto ao aspecto legal existem diversas portarias e leis que normatizam a proposta para educação permanente em saúde, destacamos a Constituição Federal; a Lei nº 8.080, que apresenta cinco artigos que versam sobre a ação educacional como atribuição dos órgãos de gestão do Serviço Único de Saúde (SUS); a Portaria nº 198 GM / MS de 13 de fevereiro de 2004 e a Portaria GM/MS nº 1.996, de 20 de agosto de 2007. Para enfrentar a necessidade de acesso à informação e o desafio da descentralização dos serviços e das equipes de saúde tem sido incorporada as tecnologias da informação e comunicação e a modalidade de educação à distância.

Authors: Turan Mehmet Behzat , Koç Kenan 
Published: December 2018

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of self-directed learning readiness on critical thinking and general self-efficacy among the students of the School of Physical Education and Sports. In line with this aim, the research sample consisted of 419 students who were randomly selected from the School of Physical Education and Sports in Erciyes University. To collect data, the study used Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale, Critical Thinking Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale and 'Personal Information Form' created by the researcher.The data obtained through the Personal Information Form was statistically analyzed using SPSS 20.0 package program. The candidates' personal information and inventory total scores and factor points were presented by calculating frequency (f) and percentage (%) values. Pearson Moment Correlation Coefficient analysis (r) was performed to indicate the relationship between the points obtained from the scales while multiple regression analysis was performed to identify whether the points are predictor of each other. (β)The study found a positive significant relationship between self-directed learning readiness and critical thinking. A positive significant relationship was also found between self-directed learning readiness and general self-efficacy. Finally, there was a positive high relationship between general self-efficacy and critical thinking. The results of the study suggest that self-directed learning readiness affects critical thinking and general self-efficacy characteristics as it influences other aspects related to education. Self-directed learning readiness predicts critical thinking and general self-efficacy by 50.5%. Hence, authentic environments should be created to improve students' self-directed learning readiness when preparing education and training programs especially as a significant aspect of modern education systems in today's world.

El concepto de “conflictividad social” en las fuentes literarias latinas. Perspectivas diacrónicas = The Concept of “Social Conflictivity” in Latin Literary Sources. Diachronic Perspectives
Authors: Serrano Madroñal Raúl 
Published: December 2018

En un ejercicio absoluto de abstracción, la sociología contemporánea y los estudios vinculados de otras disciplinas han sido capaces de teorizar sobre las “colisiones” o conflictus de un conjunto de individuos configurados en societas. No obstante, una generalización de grado semejante podría parecer verdaderamente ajena a la lengua latina tanto en el período clásico como en el posclásico y tardío. Inmersos en esta problemática, el presente artículo persigue dilucidar la existencia de una construcción conceptual que se corresponda con la idea actual de “conflicto social” mediante un análisis diacrónico de las fuentes literarias desde el “siglo de oro” hasta la tardo-antigüedad. Contemporary Sociology and related studies of other disciplines have been able to theorize, through an absolute exercise of abstraction, about the "collisions" or conflictus of a set of individuals configured in societas. However, a generalization of a similar degree might seem truly strange to the Latin language in the classical, postclassical and later periods. Immersed in this problem, this paper seeks to elucidate the existence of a conceptual construction that corresponds to the current idea of "social conflict" through a diachronic analysis of literary sources from the "Golden age" to the Late Antiquity.
Concertation ou négociation? Distinguer les deux afin de faciliter les prises de décisions en contexte de réadaptation au travail
Authors: Gouin Marie-Michelle , Truchon Manon 
Published: December 2018

En contexte de réadaptation au travail, l’action concertée (concertation) serait déterminante pour le succès du retour au travail. Or, un débat théorique entoure toujours le concept de « concertation », qui peut être rapproché (ou non) de la « négociation ». De plus, aucune étude n’a encore exploré les processus de prises de décisions collectives à partir d’échanges entre les multiples parties prenantes à un programme de réadaptation au travail. Cet article vise à proposer des définitions opérationnelles distinguant la concertation de la négociation, puis à les tester en contexte de réadaptation au travail.D’abord, des définitions de « l’action concertée », de la « concertation » et de la « négociation » sont comparées, afin d’en venir à distinguer ces deux derniers concepts, notamment par la présence de conflit(s) et des relations (de coopération/collaboration) entre les parties. Les définitions proposées sont, ensuite, testées empiriquement à partir de données issues d’une étude de cas multiples (N=6) qui explore les processus de prises de décisions entre les parties prenantes à un programme de réadaptation au travail.Les données de l’étude montrent l’importance de comprendre la concertation et la négociation comme des types de processus de prises de décisions complexes et dynamiques. L’étude permet aussi de distinguer la concertation et la négociation à l’aide des définitions proposées en contexte de réadaptation au travail. Le recours à ces définitions pourrait engendrer d’importantes retombées, notamment sur le plan des pratiques en réadaptation au travail.Ces définitions pourraient, en effet, permettre de mieux cibler des stratégies à privilégier pour atteindre des décisions favorables au retour durable et en bonne santé des travailleurs en incapacité, selon le type de prise de décisions anticipé. Ceci dit, d’autres études devront venir approfondir la connaissance des processus de prises de décisions collectives (incluant la concertation et la négociation) en contexte de réadaptation au travail, ainsi que leurs liens possibles avec le succès ou l’échec du retour au travail.
