Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate tramadol for treatment of signs of pain and impaired mobility in geriatric cats with osteoarthritis.
DESIGN Randomized controlled crossover trial.
ANIMALS 24 client-owned geriatric (≥ 10 years old) cats with osteoarthritis.
PROCEDURES Otherwise healthy cats with owner-identified mobility impairment and clinical and radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis involving at least 1 appendicular joint were enrolled in the study. Cats were treated with tramadol orally at dosages of 0 (placebo), 1, 2, and 4 mg/kg (0, 0.45, 0.9, and 1.8 mg/lb) twice a day for 5 days, with a 2-day (weekend) washout period between treatments. Mobility was assessed with a collar-mounted activity monitor system, and impairments in activity were assessed with a client-completed questionnaire.
RESULTS 17 cats completed the study; 7 cats were withdrawn. There was a significant increase in activity with the 2-mg/kg dosage of tramadol, compared with activity when cats received the placebo. Significantly more owners (11/18) considered their cats to have improved with the 2-mg/kg treatment, compared with all other dosages (6/19 to 8/21). Most owners (17/20 [85%]) considered their cat's global quality of life to have improved during the study. Adverse events, predominantly euphoria, dysphoria, sedation, decreased appetite, and diarrhea, were significantly more frequent with the 4-mg/kg (8/19) and 2-mg/kg (6/18) treatments but not with the 1-mg/kg (2/21) treatment, compared with frequency of adverse events with the placebo (0/21).
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggested a beneficial effect of twice-daily oral administration of tramadol at a dosage of 2 mg/kg in geriatric cats with osteoarthritis. Adverse events were dose dependent, and caution should be exercised in cats that have concurrent disease or are receiving other drugs that may produce adverse gastrointestinal effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the radiographic outcome of root canal treatment (RCT) of canine teeth of cats.
DESIGN Retrospective case series.
ANIMALS 32 cats with 37 canine teeth with complicated crown fractures that underwent RCT.
PROCEDURES Medical record databases of 5 referral veterinary hospitals were searched to identify cats that underwent RCT between 1998 and 2016. Only cats that had at least 1 follow-up examination during which radiographs were obtained of the treated canine tooth or teeth were included in the study. Dental radiographs obtained before and immediately after RCT and during all follow-up examinations were reviewed. Treatment was considered successful if the periodontal ligament space was within reference limits and preoperative external inflammatory root resorption (EIRR), if present, had stabilized. Treatment was considered to have no evidence of failure if preoperative EIRR had stabilized and preexisting periapical lucency was stable or decreased in size but had not resolved. Treatment was considered to have failed if periapical lucency or EIRR developed subsequent to RCT or preexisting periapical lucency increased in size or preoperative EIRR progressed following RCT.
RESULTS Follow-up time after RCT ranged from 3 to 72 months. The RCT was successful for 18 (49%) of the 37 treated teeth, had no evidence of failure for 12 (32%), and failed for 7 (19%). Preexisting EIRR and patient age ≥ 5 years significantly increased the rate of RCT failure.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that RCT was a viable treatment option to salvage endodontically diseased canine teeth in cats.

Abstract
CASE DESCRIPTION A 7-year-old 44-kg (97-lb) neutered male Great Pyrenees was referred for evaluation because of episodic dyspnea with cyanosis of 1 to 2 weeks' duration. Three days prior to evaluation, the clinical signs had worsened, including 1 episode of collapse.
CLINICAL FINDINGS Thoracic radiography and CT revealed a well-delineated soft tissue mass, located approximately 1.5 cm cranial to the carina and occupying almost 90% of the tracheal lumen. A CBC and serum biochemical analysis were performed, and all results were within reference limits.
TREATMENT AND OUTCOME Tracheoscopy confirmed the presence of a broad-based bilobate mass that was protruding from the right dorsal aspect of the trachea and occupied almost the entire tracheal lumen. The mass was successfully resected by endoscopic-guided electrocautery ablation. Findings of histologic evaluation were consistent with a diagnosis of liposarcoma. Immediately following the ablation procedure, the previously noted clinical signs of respiratory tract disease resolved. On follow-up examination 12 months later, no regrowth of the mass was evident on thoracic helical CT and tracheoscopy.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE Endoscopic-guided electrocautery ablation of tracheal liposarcoma was a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for the dog of this report. The procedure was brief and appeared to be well tolerated, resulting in immediate improvement of clinical signs.

Published: February 2018

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of medical errors (specifically, near misses [NMs] and adverse events [AEs]) and their personal and professional impact on veterinarians.
DESIGN Cross-sectional study.
SAMPLE Members of the Veterinary Information Network (n = 46,481).
PROCEDURES An electronic survey regarding veterinarians' experiences with NMs and AEs was distributed via email to an online veterinary community between September 24 and October 21, 2015. Responses were summarized and compared between genders by means of the χ2 test.
RESULTS 606 veterinarians completed the survey (1.3% response rate). Overall, 447 (73.8%) respondents reported involvement in ≥ 1 NM (n = 389 [64.2%]) or AE (179 [29.5%]). The NMs had a short-term (≤ 1 week) adverse impact on professional life for 68.0% (261/384) of respondents and longer-term negative impact for 36.4% (140/385). The impact on respondents' personal lives was similar (63.6% [245/385] and 33.5% [129/385], respectively). For AEs, these numbers were 84.1% (148/176), 56.2% (99/177), 77.8% (137/176), and 50.6% (89/175), respectively. Both NMs and AEs were more likely to negatively impact female veterinarians than male veterinarians.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE These findings suggested that many veterinarians experience emotional distress after a medical error. Support should be provided to mitigate this adverse impact on the wellbeing of veterinarians and, potentially, their future patients.

El vivir bien-buen vivir: una alternativa intercultural (Living Well, Living Well: An intercultural alternative)
Authors: Cruz Rodríguez Edwin 
Published: February 2018

El Vivir Bien-Buen Vivir plantea la necesidad de un cambio drástico en el modo de vida dominante, que permita construir relaciones de convivencia y complementariedad entre los seres humanos y entre ellos y la naturaleza, como una alternativa frente a la actual crisis ambiental. Mientras el discurso del desarrollo, fundado en la idea de crecimiento económico, producción y consumo ilimitados, tiene un carácter colonial y antropocéntrico, el Vivir Bien-Buen Vivir replantea la concepción de vida buena basada en esos supuestos y apuesta por un modo de vida intercultural que rompe con la concepción dualista y antropocéntrica de la naturaleza. Para desarrollar este argumento, en primer lugar, se reconstruyen las concepciones del desarrollo y del VBBY. En la segunda parte se estudia el carácter intercultural del VBBV. y sus implicaciones sobre la relación entre seres humanos y naturaleza.

Authors: Pujiyanti Fariska , Unsiah Frida 
Published: February 2018

In Extensive Reading class, students are often asked to present what they have read. However, when it comes for them to present the material, oral presentation seems to be a common choice. When some students present their material, the rests wait for their turn. The uneasy atmosphere is created when they are waiting. Challenge is taken as how to create a good atmosphere in class. This challenge triggered the writers to conduct a small research on creating a lively Extensive Reading class by video presentation. The respondents of our research were 35 students who took the subject. Sensory preferences of four dimensions of learning style that are likely associated with L2 learning by Ehrman and Oxford (1990) become the basismethod of this research. In this method, students are asked to read and make summary on the reading materials in the form of video. Based on the questionnairres given, the students admitted that they were more interested to have video presentation than just a common oral presentation because the class is more lively and the students’ sensory preferences are developed.

The twin-boom structure is a component of LSU-5 unmanned aireal vehicle (UAV) construction wich was produced by Aeronautic Technology Center of LAPAN. This structure serves as a stabilizer UAV movements. In operations, the structure will recieve flight load which could result as the structure deflection. Through analytical methods involving the mission, dimensions and configuration of the structure of the twin-boom LSU 05 UAV, has done research to determine the extent of the ability of the structure in the fligth load, so the resulting deflection. From this research it was known that at flighting during 130 minutes, starting from take off the beginning of the flight until cruising with maximum velocity in 130 km/h, the maximum deflection that occurred in the structure only reaches 5.593 x 10-6 m, with a safety factor of 1.3, it’s means that the structure was relatively save. While at the landing on a relatively save was velocity below 14 km/h. If landing at the velocity exceeding 20 km/h can be believed that the twin-boom structure suffered severe damage, because the stress occurs already exceeded from 650 MPa as the yield strenght of e-glass composite materials. Abstrak:Struktur twin boom merupakan salah satu komponen konstruksi pesawat terbang nir awak LSU-05 hasil karya Pusat Teknologi Penerbangan - LAPAN. Struktur ini berfungsi sebagai penyetabil gerakan pesawat. Dalam operasionalnya, struktur menerima beban terbang yang dapat mengakibatkan timbulnya lendutan. Melalui metode analitis yang melibatkan misi, dimensi dan konfigurasi struktur twin boom pesawat LSU-05, telah dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui sejauh mana kemampuan struktur dalam menerima beban terbang, sehingga mengakibatkan lendutan tersebut. Dari penelitian ini diketahui bahwa pada saat penerbangan, selama 130 menit mulai dari tinggal landas di awal penerbangan sampai dengan terbang jelajah pada kecepatan maksimal 130 km/jam, lendutan maksimal yang terjadi pada struktur hanya mencapai 5,593 x 10-6 m, dengan faktor keamanan sebesar 1,3 berarti struktur relatif aman. Sedangkan untuk pendaratan, kecepatan yang relatif aman dapat dilakukan di bawah 14 km/jam. Jika mendarat pada kecepatan melebihi 20 km/jam, struktur twin boom tersebut mengalami kerusakan parah, karena tegangan yang terjadi sudah melebihi 650 MPa sebagai tegangan ijin bahan struktur yakni komposit e-glass.

Thermal decomposition process of AP/HTPB solid propellant type RUM, 450 and 1220 were investigated by DTG60 (Differential Thermogravimetric) with operational parameters: temperature 30 – 400oC, nitrogen flow rate 50 ml/min, and heating rate 2.5 C/min. Thermal decomposition analysis will be the first step of decomposition kinetics research in determining life time of the propellant. TGA curve of propellant RUM was found to be two staged meanwhile the thermal decomposition of propellant 450 and 1220 has become one staged. The DTA curve/thermogram of propellant RUM show the formation of intermediate product before full-length decomposition. Unlike propellant RUM, DTA curves of propellant 450 and 1220 do not show the formation of intermediate product. Decomposition process of propellant 450 and 1220 accelerate by Al presence. The difference between AP modal on propellant 450 and 1220 show insignificance effect to the amount of decomposition energy consumption. Abstrak Proses dekomposisi termal propelan padat AP/HTPB jenis RUM, 450 dan 1220 telah dianalisis menggunakan Differential Thermogravimetric 60 (DTG) dengan parameter operasi: suhu 30 - 400⁰C, atmosfer nitrogen berlaju alir 50 ml/menit, dan laju pemanasan 2,5⁰C/menit. Analisis dekomposisi termal adalah langkah awal penelitian kinetika dekomposisi propelan dalam menentukan life time propelan. Kurva TGA menunjukkan bahwa propelan RUM mengalami proses dekomposisi dua tahap sedangkan propelan 450 dan 1220 mengalami proses dekomposisi satu tahap. Kurva DTA/ termogram proses dekomposisi propelan RUM menunjukkan adanya pembentukan produk intermediate sebelum akhirnya terdekomposisi sempurna. Berbeda dengan propelan RUM, termogram propelan 450 dan 1220 tidak menunjukkan terbentuknya produk intermediate. Proses dekomposisi propelan 450 dan 1220 terakselerasi oleh keberadaan Al. Perbedaan modal AP pada propelan 450 dan 1220 ternyata tidak begitu berpengaruh pada nilai konsumsi energi proses dekomposisi.
