Authors: Ermawati Tantin , Meilawaty Zahara , Harmono Happy 
Published: February 2019

Polyphenols are one of the active substances in the Robusta coffee beans with various benefits for humans’ health including anti-inflammation. neutrophil cell (polymorphonuclear PMN) plays a significant role as the primary immune response against foreign agent. Inflammatory response is characterized by the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Hence, the purpose of this study is to determine anti-inflammation capacity of Robusta coffee beans polyphenols extract on the TNF-α production in neutrophil cells. Neutrophil was derived from human peripheral venous blood by means of gradient density method. One hundred microliter of neutrophil (1,5x103 cell) was incubated with 3.13%, 6.25%, 12.5%, 25% polyphenol extract and exposed with 100 μl of Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) 25 mg/ml. The production of TNF-α were determined by ELISA. Data were analyzed by one way Anova. Polyphenols of Robusta coffee bean extract was shown to inhibit TNF-α production in LPS-exposed neutrophil cells compared to controls. Whereas, LPS-exposed neutrophil increased TNF-α production. The most effective concentration to inhibit TNF-α production was 12.5%. It was concluded that polyphenols of Robusta coffee beans has anti-inflammatory properties as indicated by its ability to decrease TNF-α levels.

RESUMO Este artigo se constituiu como um desdobramento de uma pesquisa interinstitucional intitulada “Institucionalização da educação superior a distância nas universidades federais da região centro-oeste: processos, organização e práticas” realizada no período de 2016 a 2018. A pesquisa discute a institucionalização da modalidade de educação a distância no contexto da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, tendo como base as vivências institucionais (administrativas e pedagógicas) registradas em documentos oficiais e relatórios de gestão. Tal processo abrange desde as iniciativas da primeira experiência com EaD coordenada pelo GAECIM em meados de 1995 até a criação da SEDFOR em 2017. O estudo aponta que as ações de institucionalização ainda estão na fase de mobilização e são tímidas frente aos desafios técnicos, pedagógicos, tecnológicos e de infraestrutura que a instituição apresenta. Palavras-chave: Educação a distância. Institucionalização. UFMS. ABSTRACT This article was constituted as a disjoint of an interinstitutional research entitled “Institutionalization of higher education to distance from federal universities in the west-central region: processes, organization and practices” carried out no period from 2016 to 2018. Inquiry discusses the institutionalization of the modality of distance education from the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, as a basis for institutional and administrative experiences registered in official documents and management reports. This process is based on the initiatives of the first experience with the coordinate of GAECIM in 1995, attested to the creation of SEDFOR in 2017.

Indigenismos antillanos e imagen visual: México, ¿un referente?
Authors: Wood Yolanda 
Published: February 2019

En el proceso de fundación de una imagen en las islas mayores de las grandes Antillas durante las primeras décadas del siglo XX, se produjo una mirada hacia lo primigenio y autóctono como una forma de recuperación de “lo propio” cuando los territorios vivían en circunstancias históricas de inestabilidad política y ocupación extranjera. El texto estudia las características de los indigenismos antillanos en la construcción de una identidad nacional y en la configuración de los imaginarios culturales. Se indagan sus relaciones con el indigenismo mexicano como referente y se valoran tendencias visuales diversas a través de autores y obras en los territorios que integran la muestra. El estudio se realiza con una perspectiva interdisciplinaria y comparada a partir de los estudios visuales, y el empleo de fuentes que problematizan los significados de los indigenismos antillanos en sus contextos.
REGENERATIVE DISCOURSES IN CONTEMPORARY AFRO-BRAZILIAN WOMEN WRITERS
Authors: Afolabi Niyi 
Published: February 2019

Drawing on James Scott’s idea of “hidden transcripts” in Domination and the Arts of Resistance, this study theorizes on progressive hypothetical discursive sites as moving from the continuum of the harsh slave master to the site of the free black among friends and family. Instead of the fear of articulation or the need for masking that operates in the public transcript frame, the alternating hidden transcript frame suggests a less explicit fear of articulation in the face of oppression. In addition to highlighting recent works on issues of gender, identity, and citizenship in Brazil, this essay argues that a new wave of regenerative discourses is emerging among Afro-Brazilian women writers however few and far between. These works demonstrate conscious regenerative acts from the viewpoints of rejection of victimhood.

Ekonomi Kemakmuran Bersama: Indonesian Islamic Economic Thought of Kahrudin Yunus
Authors: Addiarrahman Addiarrahman 
Published: February 2019

This article preliminary explores a forgotten figure of defining concept of Indonesian Islamic economics, Kahrudin Yunus. Differ from other contemporary concepts; Yunus has generously framed sistem ekonomi kemakmuran bersama as a basic principle of Islamic economics. Although Yunus has courageously implanted such Arabic economic thinker as Baqr al-Shadr, the Indonesian political tension that infused capitalism and socialism in the middle of 1955 had imposed him to not define Islamic economics in narrow theological perspective, conversely, Yunus argued that Islamic economics must be built on the benefits of economic politics in order to constructing a democratic system. Yunus forgotten thought would have been a counter debate of contemporary Islamic economics today that somehow enforced the return of golden age of Islamic revival. Keywords: Islamic economics, kemakmuran bersama, economic thinker

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
To determine the relationship between traditional cephalometric measurements and corresponding nonradiographic three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetry measurements.

Materials and Methods:
This was a cross-sectional study of 20 orthodontic patients (10 male and 10 female) who received lateral cephalometric radiographs and 3D dentofacial photogrammetric records with each subject serving as his or her own control for a total sample size of 40 images (20 per method). A 3D analysis that resembled a traditional cephalometric analysis was established using the eyes and natural head orientation as substitutes for the cranial base. Pearson correlation coefficients and multivariable linear regression plots were calculated to evaluate the relationship between the photogrammetry measurements and the cephalometric measurements.

Results:
The ANB angle, mandibular plane angle, lower anterior face height, upper incisor angle to SN, upper incisor angle to NA, and all measurements of lower incisor position and inclination had strong positive Pearson correlation coefficients with the corresponding 3D photogrammetry measurements (P &lt; .004). Statistically significant regression plots demonstrated that cephalometric relationships between the jaws and incisor orientation can be predicted from corresponding 3D photogrammetry measurements.

Conclusions:
3D photogrammetry measurements relating the jaws to each other and incisor orientation has a strong positive correlation with corresponding traditional cephalometric measurements and can serve as cephalometric predictors. Capturing the eyes using 3D photogrammetry can obviate the need to expose the cranial base and allow limiting the radiographic field to the area of interest.

El misterio de Dios, la poesía de Javier Sicilia / The Mystery of God, the Poetry of Javier Sicilia
Authors: Manzano Añorve María de los Ángeles Silvina 
Published: February 2019

A pesar de que el territorio Mexicano ha sido prolífero en lo que se refiere a la poesía religiosa, durante mucho tiempo la crítica no ha prestado la atención suficiente al estudio de la poesía con esta temática; sólo en fechas recientes se ha empezado a valorar a los poetas con inquietudes religiosas que han publicado en las últimas décadas en nuestro país, como es el caso de Concha Urquiza, Manuel Ponce, Enriqueta Ochoa, Elsa Cross, Sergio Mondragón y Javier Sicilia. De allí la importancia de acercarnos a la obra de Javier Sicilia, poeta, novelista, ensayista que nace en la ciudad de México en 1956 y publica a partir de los años 70s.Si bien es cierto que Sicilia pertenece a la generación nacida en la década de los 50s, en Tríptico en el desierto publicado en 2009 encontramos resonancias de los versos de T.S Eliot y de Rilke; pero también referencias de la biblia y de La divina comedia de Dante. En este texto y como en gran parte de su producción literaria hemos observado que su estilo ha estado influenciado por el Siglo de Oro español y principalmente por San Juan de la Cruz y Fray Luis de León.A lo largo de todo el poemario se aprecia la recurrencia de las siguientes figuras retóricas: metáfora, prosopopeya, símil, símbolo y paradoja (entiéndase el uso de esta última como la expresión de un mundo que es en sí mismo una contradicción). Sabemos también que los símbolos y las paradojas son utilizadas con frecuencia por los poetas religiosos como recursos para nombrar lo inaprensible. Esta es una tradición que se remonta a los místicos españoles y que se sigue utilizando hoy en día en muchos de los poetas con temáticas religiosas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess outcomes, factors associated with survival time, and radiation-induced toxicoses in dogs treated for nasal tumors with curative-intent stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
DESIGN Retrospective case series.
ANIMALS 28 client-owned dogs.
PROCEDURES By use of a 6-MV linear accelerator, dogs were treated with SBRT (3 consecutive-day fractions of 9 or 10 Gy or once with 1 fraction of 20 Gy). Data regarding adverse effects, outcomes, and survival times were obtained from the medical records.
RESULTS The median survival time to death due to any cause was 388 days. Of the 24 dogs known to be dead, 14 (58%) died or were euthanized because of local disease progression. Acute radiation-induced adverse effects developed in the skin (excluding alopecia) in 26% (6/23) of dogs and in the oral cavity in 30% (7/23) of dogs. Acute ocular adverse effects included discharge in 26% (6/23) of dogs and keratoconjunctivitis sicca in 4% (1/23) of dogs. Among the 22 dogs alive at > 6 months after SBRT, 4 (18%) developed a unilateral cataract; 4 (18%) developed other complications that may have been late-onset radiation toxicoses (excluding leukotrichia and skin hyperpigmentation).
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that dogs treated with SBRT had outcomes comparable to those reported for dogs with nasal carcinomas and sarcomas that undergo conventionally fractionated radiation therapy. Administration of SBRT was associated with a comparatively lower frequency of acute radiation-induced adverse effects. For SBRT and conventionally fractionated radiation therapy, the frequencies of serious late-onset adverse effects appear similar.
Simultaneous fluoroscopic-guided tibial plateau leveling and fracture reduction for the concurrent treatment of chronic cranial cruciate ligament tear and comminuted diaphyseal fracture of the tibia and fibula in a dog
Authors: Petazzoni Massimo , Buiatti Michela 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
CASE DESCRIPTION A 12-year-old obese spayed female American Staffordshire Terrier was admitted for evaluation of acute non–weight-bearing lameness of the right pelvic limb attributed to motor vehicle–related trauma that occurred 2 hours previously. The owners reported a chronic, progressive weight-bearing lameness of the right pelvic limb secondary to a complete cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) rupture that was diagnosed 6 months previously. They had declined surgery for CrCL repair because of the advanced age of the dog.
CLINICAL FINDINGS Physical examination revealed a 2-cm skin wound on the craniomedial aspect of the midtibial region. The dog had non–weight-bearing lameness of the right pelvic limb with associated muscle atrophy and signs of pain on palpation of the right tibia. Radiography was performed, and tibial and fibular fractures were diagnosed. The fractures were classified as second-degree open, severely comminuted, complex nonreconstructible diaphyseal fractures.
TREATMENT AND OUTCOME The tibial fracture and CrCL rupture were treated by closed reduction and simultaneous tibial plateau leveling by indirect fluoroscopic-guided alignment, plus stabilization with a monoplanar external fixator. The 2 main tibial fragments were manipulated via the frame clamps to restore limb length and alignment and tibial plateau slope. Both the tibial and fibular fractures healed within 16 weeks after surgery. At the 2-month recheck examination after implant removal, the dog was walking normally.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE Simultaneous treatment of tibial fracture and CrCL rupture with unilateral external fixation was successful in this dog and may be helpful in similar cases.

Published: February 2019

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the chief complaints by owners and the types and prevalences of musculoskeletal problems associated with lameness or poor performance in cutting horses.
DESIGN Retrospective case series.
ANIMALS 200 client-owned cutting horses examined at the Texas A&M University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2015, because of lameness or poor performance.
PROCEDURES Medical records were reviewed, and data were collected regarding signalment, history, findings on physical and lameness examinations, results of diagnostic procedures performed, diagnosis, and treatment. Distribution of observed proportions of forelimb and hind limb involvement was compared with a hypothetical distribution of 50% by means of a χ2 test.
RESULTS More horses were examined because of a recent decrease in performance (116/200 [58%]) than for lameness (84 [42%]). All horses had at least 1 lame limb, with lameness affecting a total of 281 limbs. Of the 281 lame limbs, 189 (67%) were hind limbs and 92 (33%) were forelimbs. These proportions were substantially different from a hypothetical distribution of 50% hind limbs and 50% forelimbs. The most common performance change was that horses would not reverse direction to follow prespecified individual cattle, and the most common cause of lameness was pain localized to the stifle joint region (69 [35%]).
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Cutting horses sustained more hind limb than forelimb musculoskeletal problems, and although these horses were more likely to be examined for decreased performance than lameness, veterinarians should be vigilant for problems affecting the stifle joint region.
Pet owners’ knowledge of and attitudes toward the judicious use of antimicrobials for companion animals
Authors: Redding Laurel E. , Cole Stephen D. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore owners’ knowledge of and experiences with antimicrobial treatment of their pets and their perceptions of veterinarian-led antimicrobial stewardship initiatives.
DESIGN Cross-sectional study.
SAMPLE 25 pet owners visiting 1 of 3 clinic types (tertiary care, general practice, or low cost) in the greater Philadelphia area.
PROCEDURES Semistructured interviews were conducted with pet owners to gather responses related to the study objectives. Responses were transcribed and analyzed by means of conventional content analysis.
RESULTS Although participants were mostly unfamiliar with the mechanisms of antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance, they generally understood what constituted the inappropriate use of antimicrobials. Few pet owners appeared concerned about the risk of antimicrobial resistance, and no owners were concerned that antimicrobials used for people were also used for pets. Overall, pet owners reported closely following veterinarians’ directions when administering antimicrobials at home, and the main reasons for not following directions included difficulty administering the medication and concern about overmedicating the pet. Most (21/25 [84%]) pet owners expressed trust in their veterinarian to meet their pets’ medical needs and prescribe antimicrobials appropriately. However, in situations when it was unclear whether antimicrobials would be effective, most owners nevertheless wanted their pet to receive them. Initiatives to promote the judicious use of antimicrobials, such as microbial culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing and formal stewardship programs, were generally well received and appreciated by owners.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Considerable opportunity was identified to leverage the trust that exists between veterinarians and pet owners to promote the judicious use of antimicrobials for pets.

Salah satu tanda gejala dari hipertensi adalah nyeri kepala. Nyeri kepala terjadi karena adanya aterosklorosis yang menyebabkan spasme pada pembuluh darah (arteri) dan penurunan oksigen di otak. Nyeri tersebut dapat ditangani dengan penatalaksanaan nonfarmakologis salah satunya yaitu dengan mengkompres hangat jahe. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukurPengaruh Pemberian Kompres Hangat Jahe Terhadap Skala Nyeri Kepala Hipertensi Pada Lansia Di Posyandu Lansia Karang Werdha Rambutan Desa Burneh Bangkalan. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah quasi experiment design, dengan pre-post without control design. Populasi sebanyak 40 lansia di Posyandu Lansia, dan jumlah sampel sebanyak 36 lansia, menggunakan tehnik simple random sampling. Variabel independen penelitian adalah kompres hangat jahe, variabel dependennya adalah skala nyeri kepala hipertensi pada lansia dan analisis data menggunakan uji statistik Wilcoxon Rank Test. Tingkat nyeri sebelum pemberian kompres hangat jahe adalah tingkat nyeri sedang 20 lansia (55,6%), dan tingkat nyeri sesudah pemberian kompres hangat jahe adalah tingkat nyeri ringan 27 lansia (75%). Dengan menggunakan uji Wilcoxon didapatkan nilai p value 0,000 (p< 0,05). Sehingga ada perbedaan skala nyeri kepala hipertensi pada lansia sebelum dan sesudah pemberian kompres hangat jahe.Nyeri kepala bisa dikontrol jika lansia mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi nyeri seperti faktor usia, pola hidup, makanan, pekerjaan dan cara menangani nyeri dengan baik dan benar
