Abstract
Diptera (Insecta) are able to transmit approximately 200 pathogenic microorganisms to humans and animals, causing more than 65 diseases, including bovine mastitis, which constitutes a major cause of economic losses in the dairy industry. In this scenario, 217 adult specimens of Diptera were collected from nine farms and identified to the family and/or species level. Of the 11 families recorded, Muscidae was the most prevalent (152 out of 217; 70%). All Diptera specimens were subjected to microbiological culture using conventional and selective media, and isolates were then identified at the species level by mass spectrometry. In total, 275 microorganisms were identified, with a predominance of pathogens related to environmental bovine mastitis (166/275 = 60·4%), that is, Enterococcus species (70/275 = 25·4%) and Escherichia coli (49/275 = 17·8%). Nontraditional agents related to bovine mastitis (called miscellaneous) were detected in 28% (77/275), as well as microorganisms with well-known zoonotic behaviour (e.g. Bacillus cereus). This is study contributes with knowledge of diversity of microorganisms carried by Diptera in the dairy environment, including pathogens associated with environmental and contagious bovine mastitis, and agents with human relevance. To our knowledge, a three-part chromogenic selective medium used to microbial culture of milk on farms was used for the first time to identification of pathogens in Diptera.
Patient engagement, involvement, or participation — entrapping concepts in nurse‐patient interactions: A critical discussion
Authors: Jerofke‐Owen Teresa A. , Tobiano Georgia , Eldh Ann C. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThe importance of patients taking an active role in their healthcare is recognized internationally, to improve safety and effectiveness in practice. There is still, however, some ambiguity about the conceptualization of that patient role; it is referred to interchangeably in the literature as engagement, involvement, and participation. The aim of this discussion paper is to examine and conceptualize the concepts of patient engagement, involvement, and participation within healthcare, particularly nursing. The concepts were found to have semantic differences and similarities, although, from a nursing perspective, they can be summoned to illustrate the establishment of a mutual partnership between a patient and a nurse. The individualization of such processes requires the joint effort of engagement, involvement, or participation, represented by interactive actions of both the patient (asking questions, telling/speaking up, knowledge acquisition, learning, and decision‐making) and the nurse (recognizing, responding, information sharing, teaching, and collaborating). Suggesting that the concepts can be used interchangeably comes with some caution, requiring that nurses embrace patients playing a role in their health and healthcare. Further research and practice development should focus on how patients and nurses receive and respond to each other to establish patient engagement, involvement, and participation.
Institutions, interests, and policy support: Experimental evidence from China
Authors: Yang Wenhui , Zhao Jing 
Published: July 2022

AbstractPolicy support matters for the success of public policies. It is still unclear how governments can garner support for policies with high costs. Using a conjoint experiment in China, we demonstrate that governments can encourage policy support by offering institutional services and material interests to policy targets. In particular, citizens become more willing to support policies when governments timely disclose policy information and respond to and incorporate their voices in the policy design. Government subsidies in both the short and long runs also increase citizens' policy support. In addition, government transparency and long‐run subsidies are complementary to enhancing policy support; the role of institutions is strengthened when citizens are exposed to severe policy problems.

Published: July 2022

AbstractPlatelet‐rich plasma (PRP) is the fraction of the plasma enriched with a platelet level above baseline, and it plays an essential role in tissue regeneration. The attention to PRP as unconventional therapy has increased during the past two decades. In animals, applications of PRP showed various degrees of success in a wide range of medical applications, from musculoskeletal injuries to ovarian insufficiency. Therapeutic applications with PRP in farm animals are still scarce, but the promising results offered by several studies are expected to trigger more interest in its application by both veterinarians and farmers. In this review, we highlight some efforts made in the field of animal reproduction regarding the use of PRP to potentiate the ovarian hypofunction, treat endometritis, improve the follicular development, oocyte competence and uterine environment for embryo implantation as well as restore testicular and erectile function in male, and as a treatment for mastitis.
Effect of season, genetic line and temperature during transport on sperm motility of commercial insemination doses of pooled boar semen: A retrospective study

Published: July 2022

AbstractCommercial pooled semen from boars of maternal and terminal genetic lines was analysed over two consecutive years, as part of an external quality control program. Semen doses were prepared for two total sperm counts (2.0 × 109/75 ml [n = 578] and 1.5 × 109/34 ml [n = 643]). Semen doses were evaluated for motility, morphology and bacterial contamination at days 1 and 4 after collection. Additionally, temperature during transport was tracked and correlated to sperm motility. Sperm motility and morphology were significantly affected by genetic line, but not by total sperm per doses. Total motility (TM) was affected (p < .05) by season. Progressive motility (PM) was lower (p < .05) in some winter months, and higher (p < .05) in summer for maternal‐line doses. Normal sperm morphology was higher (p < .05) in some months of late fall and winter, with an apparent decrease in some summer months. In general, motility was significantly higher on day 1 than on day 4, and was also affected (p < .05) by temperature, especially for terminal‐line doses. Semen doses exposed to >15°C had higher (p < .05) TM, VSL (straight‐line velocity) and linearity than doses exposed to <15°C. Progressive motility and straightness increased (p < .05) proportionally with temperature. At day 1, motility, average path velocity (VAP) and VSL increased (p < .05) with temperature, and was higher than the corresponding group at day 4, except for VSL. Sperm motility and kinematics at day 4 were similar between temperature groups, except for doses exposed to >20°C that had higher (p < .05) VAP and VSL than doses exposed to <12°C. Microbiology evaluation revealed that less than 8.2% (15/184) of the semen doses had bacterial growth. Sphingobacterium lactis was the most prevalent bacterium identified. In conclusion, genetic line strongly influences sperm motility, while total sperm count does not have an impact. Transient reduced temperatures during shipping do not impair sperm quality after 4 days of storage. Seasonal and temperature effects on sperm motility of pooled boar semen are not overcome by pre‐production ejaculate selection and semen pooling.
Crime, elections, and political competition
Authors: Mitra Shabana , Shajahan Althaf 
Published: July 2022

AbstractAre elections immediately preceded by periods of increased violent crimes? In this paper, we test the link between criminal activity and electoral cycles. We use annual data from 1981 to 2007 on crimes and data from the parliamentary elections in India for the same period. Using a difference‐in‐difference design, we find that election years have significantly higher incidence of violent crimes even after accounting for poverty and inequality. This effect is statistically significant and consistent across specifications. The effect is magnified in districts that are more competitive. Similar regressions using economic crimes and elections show either a decline or no effect. Our results are strongly indicative of a close link between violent crimes and elections, and are critical for the growing debate on the criminalization of politics in developing countries.
Retrospective accounts of first exposure to minoritized sexual and gender identities
Authors: Bruun Samuel T. , Farr Rachel H. , Simon Kay 
Published: July 2022

AbstractAlthough there has been considerable research about attitudes towards LGBTQ+ people, there has been little research into how people first come to be aware of minoritized sexual and gender minority (SGM) identities. This study sought to address this gap. A sample of sexual minority (n = 150) and heterosexual (n = 802) young adults (N = 952;Mage = 18.88 years,SD = 1.75; 949 were cisgender, three were transgender), primarily recruited from a large southern university, were asked retrospectively to recount their first exposure to or awareness of SGM identities. Responses between SGM and heterosexual participants were compared through a variety of analytical approaches, including analyzing themes about the source from which participants first recalled encountering these identities, and whether understanding about these identities came through a personal connection to someone with these identities. SGM participants reported encountering minoritized sexual identities a year earlier than did heterosexual participants, with both groups encountering these concepts in middle childhood, on average. SGM participants were more likely than heterosexual participants to report learning about minoritized gender identities from someone with a minoritized gender identity, while heterosexual participants more often reported learning about these identities from media or celebrities. Heterosexual (vs. SGM) participants were also more likely to imply that minoritized gender identities were adopted to be popular, rather than being authentic identities in themselves. Framed by developmental intergroup theory (DIT), we discuss implications of these findings, especially potential interrelationships with the development of prejudiced attitudes about SGM identities.
Towards resolving Cretaceous to Miocene kinematics of the Adria–Europe contact zone in reconstructions: Inferences from a structural study in a critical Dinarides area

Published: July 2022

AbstractOne key element in the current debate analysing the Central Mediterranean evolution is the Cretaceous structure and kinematics of the present‐day oroclinal bent contact between Adria‐ and Europe‐derived continental units in the Dinarides, interpreted in different tectonic reconstructions as a subduction‐related thrust system or a large‐scale strike‐slip fault zone. We provide a solution to the debate by a structural and kinematic study in a key area located in central Serbia along the Europe–Adria orogenic suture of the Sava Zone. The results demonstrate that large‐scale, top‐SW, in‐ to out‐of‐sequence thrusting is the dominant mechanism that deformed the observed accretionary wedge‐trench sediments during the Late Cretaceous subduction of the Neotethys Ocean and the ensuing Adria–Europe collision. The subsequent Oligocene–Miocene extension of the Pannonian Basin was associated with opposite‐sense rotations of different Sava Zone segments, which created the observed ~80° oroclinal bending.
Standardized uptake values and attenuation correction in 18F‐sodium fluoride PET of the equine foot and fetlock

Published: July 2022

AbstractMaximal standardized uptake values (SUVmax) are commonly used for the interpretation of PET studies. Limited information regarding the SUVmax of 18F‐NaF PET in horses is currently available in the literature. The goals of this retrospective secondary analysis study were to provide reference values for 18F‐NaF SUVmax in the equine distal extremity and assess the effect of attenuation correction. Nonattenuation corrected (NAC) and CT‐based attenuation corrected (CTAC) SUVmax were obtained from 19 feet and 19 fetlocks. Twenty regions of interest (ROIs) were defined for the foot and 22 for the fetlock. Areas presenting abnormal uptake were excluded. The overall NAC and CTAC SUVmax were 3.6 +/‐ 1.5 (mean +/‐ sd) and 5.0 +/‐ 1.8 for the feet and 2.9 +/‐ 1.1 and 3.8 +/‐ 1.4 for the fetlocks, respectively. The 3 ROIs showing the highest attenuation correction were the navicular center (83.4%), navicular flexor surface (74.9%) and distal phalanx flexor surface (81.3%), whereas attenuation correction was only 5.2% at the dorsal aspect of the proximal phalanx. Significant SUVmax differences were observed between the different ROIs (P < 0.0001), with the toe (CTAC SUVmax 7.7 +/‐ 3.7), dorsal (7.5 +/‐ 1.9) and central (6.1 +/‐ 2.2) ROIs of the distal phalanx being significantly higher than those of the other areas. This study demonstrates that attenuation correction affects SUVmax in the equine distal extremity and should be performed if CT data are available. However, as the maximal attenuation correction results in less than doubling the signal intensity, nonattenuation corrected images likely remain relevant for subjective clinical interpretation.
Palmar/plantar oblique projections improve radiographic detection of fractures of the palmar/plantar processes of the equine distal phalanx

AbstractRadiography is a standard diagnostic test for horses with suspected fractures of the palmar/plantar processes (PP) of the distal phalanx, however published studies evaluating the diagnostic utility for radiography are currently lacking. The objectives of this retrospective, diagnostic case‐control study were to determine the sensitivity of radiographs for the detection of PP fractures, and determine the diagnostic utility of the palmar/plantar oblique projections of the PP for the identification of PP fractures compared to standard radiographic series. The medical records of horses undergoing MRI examination were reviewed and 23 horses diagnosed with a PP fracture were included as cases for analysis. Forty‐six control horses were selected. Radiographs, including palmar/plantar oblique (palmaro/plantaro50o‐proximal 45o‐medial(lateral)‐dorsodistolateral (medial) oblique (PPrM(L)‐DDiL(M)O) projections, and MRI images were assessed independently for the presence or absence of PP fractures and the sensitivity and specificity of radiographs for their detection were calculated, using MRI as the gold‐standard. A second, blinded, radiographic evaluation excluding the palmar/plantar oblique views was performed. Twenty‐seven PP fractures were identified in the 23 case horses on MRI examination. Twenty‐two fractures were identified in 20/23 horses on examination of the full radiographic series (sensitivity and specificity of 81.5% and 100% respectively). Fractures were most frequently identified on the palmar/plantar oblique projections (19/22 fractures), followed by the lateromedial projection. Radiographic assessment excluding the palmar/plantar oblique projections identified 18 PP fractures in 16/23 horses. Careful assessment of a standard radiographic series of the foot will allow identification of PP fractures but palmar/plantar oblique projections will improve the detection of these fractures.
Modern physiology vindicates Darwin's dream

New FindingsWhat is the topic of this review?Revisiting the 2013 article ‘Physiology is rocking the foundations of evolutionary biology’.What advances does it highlight?The discovery that the genome is not isolated from the soma and the environment, and that there is no barrier preventing somatic characteristics being transmitted to the germline, means that Darwin's pangenetic ideas become relevant again.AbstractCharles Darwin spent the last decade of his life collaborating with physiologists in search of the biological processes of evolution. He viewed physiology as the way forward in answering fundamental questions about inheritance, acquired characteristics, and the mechanisms by which organisms could achieve their ends and survival. He collaborated with 19th century physiologists, notably John Burdon‐Sanderson and George Romanes, in his search for the mechanisms of transgenerational inheritance. The discovery that the genome is not isolated from the soma and the environment, and that there is no barrier preventing somatic characteristics being transmitted to the germline, means that Darwin's pangenetic ideas become relevant again. It is time for 21st century physiology to come to the rescue of evolutionary biology. This article outlines research lines by which this could be achieved.
Richard Rorty : de la esencia de vidrio a la redescripción metafórica

Published: July 2022

El presente trabajo es una aproximación a los argumentos centrales que Richard Rorty expone en La filosofía y el espejo de la naturaleza partiendo de la narración del estableció el dualismo mente - cuerpo, su papel en la reducción de la filosofía a la epistemología, su deconstrucción y posterior abandono, que tiene como consecuencia la transformación o reelaboración de la noción de naturaleza humana vinculada al deseo de objetividad y búsqueda de regularidad en el mundo. Esto permitirá partir hacia una concepción del giro hermenéutico o del lenguaje, no como una nueva propuesta epistemológica o de filosofía primera, sino como una manera de comprender el conocimiento como redescripción metafórica y a la filosofía como edificante, si entendemos a la edificación como aquella postura filosofía que implica la posibilidad de ampliar nuestros léxicos últimos y nuestra visión del nosotros", dada nuestra contingencia, lo más extensamente posible. Finalmente se dilucidad algunos aspecto que pueden ser base para el desarrollo de la propuesta rortyana de su concepción política.
Una evaluación sistemática cuantitativa del conocimiento alrededor de la agricultura urbana y su aporte a la Gestión Ambiental

Muchos son los beneficios atribuidos a la Agricultura Urbana a lo largo de la historia y muchos han sido los estudios y análisis que han surgido a su alrededor, intentando establecer un rango de beneficios y servicios que ofrece la AU a través de diferentes niveles valorativos que van desde lo social y comunitario, lo ambiental, lo económico, político y técnico. Pero existe incertidumbre acerca de cuáles han sido las perspectivas de abordaje desde la gestión ambiental, cómo ha sido la evolución temporal del esfuerzo científico alrededor del tema y donde se ha producido este conocimiento. Pocos investigadores han evidenciado los estudios e investigaciones de agricultura urbana, por lo tanto, el propósito de este artículo es "Evaluar sistemáticamente el conocimiento alrededor de la Agricultura Urbana a partir de una revisión bibliográfica, en el marco de la gestión ambiental". Este artículo proporciona una revisión cuantitativa de 300 estudios sobre agricultura urbana, examinando: (i) origen de la publicación ii) número de autores, iii) tipo de publicación, iv) idioma, v) tipo y vi) carácter de la investigación, vii) fuente de la publicación, viii) país de origen de la publicación, y ix) objetivos de investigación caracterizados a partir de áreas del conocimiento.
La escuela - corporación : políticas de calidad en la isotización del escenario educativo
Authors:   , Hernández Bello Alvaro 
Published: July 2022

Nunca como hoy, la implantación de políticas extranjeras en el escenario educativo colombiano había sido tan penetrante y gen eral. Si bien la pedagogía en Colombia ha sido comúnmente un tema "prestado", no habíamos tcnid la oportunidad de enfrentar un modelo que abarcara tantas (o todas las) dimensiones que conforman el aparato educativo. Las políticas de calidad educativa vinculadas a los sistemas de gestión de la calidad son un gran ejemplo de ello. La norma lS0 9001 :2000 presenta un modelo administrativo de gestión que involucra todos los niveles de las instituciones escolares: el administrativo, el humano, el curricular, e incluso, el filosófico. La implantación de estos modelos, ha traído consigo cambios en las comprensiones sobre la cuestión educativa, en las concepciones de pedagogía, e incluso, en las representaciones que hacen de sí mismos, los sujetos que hacen parte del escenario educativo y que juegan distintos papeles en el mismo. Este proyecto busca entender el proceso por e cual una institución educativa asume la lógica de mercado al configurarse como una corporación, lo cual permitirá descubrir nuevos horizontes donde la crítica con voluntad política asuma nuevas perspectivas para el análisis de los fenómenos sociales. El trabajo pone al descubierto la falacia del discurso de "adaptación" de la Norma a las instituciones educativas para mostrar cómo. por el contrario, son estas las que se adaptan a aquella. Por medio de un análisis crítico de discursos, prácticas y documentos, este trabajo cuestiona los lugares comunes sobre los que se erigen las políticas de calidad educativa y defiende la educación como un asunto de interés social, con indep .ndencia que su gestión sea confiada a particulares. Así, el trabajo. e inscribe dentro de la tensión que ofrece una visión de la educación como un servicio y aquella otra que lucha por comprenderla, actuarla y defenderla como u derecho.
Fuzzy formal concept analysis: approaches, applications and issues
Authors: Alwersh Mohammed , László Kovács 
Published: July 2022

Formal concept analysis (FCA) is today regarded as a significant technique for knowledge extraction, representation, and analysis for applications in a variety of fields. Significant progress has been made in recent years to extend FCA theory to deal with uncertain and imperfect data. The computational complexity associated with the enormous number of formal concepts generated has been identified as an issue in various applications. In general, the generation of a concept lattice of sufficient complexity and size is one of the most fundamental challenges in FCA. The goal of this work is to provide an overview of research articles that assess and compare numerous fuzzy formal concept analysis techniques which have been suggested, as well as to explore the key techniques for reducing concept lattice size. as well as we'll present a review of research articles on using fuzzy formal concept analysis in ontology engineering, knowledge discovery in databases and data mining, and information retrieval.
