Bohát, Róbert. "Metaphors to Survive by: Mimicry as Biometaphors, Embodiment of Sign and Cognitive Tools (not only) in Animals?" Linguistic Frontiers 4, no. 1 (June 1, 2021): 31–43. http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/lf-2021-0007.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Can Cognitive Metaphor Theory (CMT) be applied productively to the study of mimicry in zoosemiotics and ethology? In this theoretical comparison of selected case studies, I would like to propose that biological mimicry is a type of biosemiotic metaphor. At least two major parallels between cognitive metaphors in human cognition and mimicry among animals justify viewing the two phenomena as isomorphic. First—from the semiotic point of view—the argument is that both metaphor and mimicry are cases of semiotic transfer (etymologically: metaphor) of the identity / sign of the source onto the perceived identity / sign of the target. This identity transfer, in turn, triggers appropriate changes in the response (behavior) of the surrounding (human or animal) interpreters (e.g. predators). Semiotically, the mimicry turns the body of its bearer into a sign of something else, resulting in the interpreters’ (e.g. predators’) perception of species X as species Y—hence, a type of embodied sign and cognitive metaphor. Second, ecologically, a species occupying one niche (e.g. a moth: non-venomous, herbivorous primary consumer) is perceived and identified as an occupant of a different niche (e.g. a hornet: venomous, omnivorous predator). Thus, a potential predator’s Umwelt is affected by its perceiving a hornet moth as “a hornet” where there is, in fact, a moth, and its response to this stimulus will not be predation but avoidance. In terms of CMT, we could call this a biosemiotic metaphor (bio-metaphor), e.g. “A MOTH IS A HORNET” or “PREY IS A PREDATOR”. Further correspondences between mimicry and metaphor include the fact that this bio-metaphorical identification by mimicry does not typically require a “perfect” resemblance between the source and the target sign (or species); this seems to correspond to the prototype categorization in CMT where categories are “open-ended” and only a partial similarity is sufficient for metaphorical identification (compare Lakoff, Johnson 1980; Rosch 1983). Such an identification of mimicry as metaphor could be based on Prodi’s argument that “hermeneutics is not a late product of culture, but the same elementary movement of life that is born because something obscurely interprets something else” (Eco 2018: 350; Kull 2018, 352—364). Inasmuch as animal Umwelten are interconnected inter alia by this natural hermeneutics, the trans-disciplinary approach to the study eco-zoosemiotic interpretants on the basis of metaphor-mimicry isomorphism could open new opportunities in comparative studies of semiosis in human and animal cognition and interactions.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractA survey of 801 poplar trees in central east England in 1999 demonstrated a correlation between crown dieback and infestation by hornet clearwing moth (Sesia apiformis), induced by a period of drought in 1995–1996. To determine whether trees colonised by S. apiformis would subsequently deteriorate and die or whether they could recover despite infestation and damage to the stem, all trees in the original survey were re-assessed in 2001, 2003 and 2005. The repeat surveys showed that trees with 70% or less crown dieback in 1999 replaced their canopy and generally improved by 2005, irrespective of the numbers of S. apiformis in the stem, whereas trees that had 75% or more crown dieback in 1999 either died or declined further. The presence of S. apiformis did not prevent tree recovery, and there was little evidence that infestation slowed the rate of recovery. Populations of S. apiformis, measured in terms of the numbers of adult emergence holes visible in the base of the trees, decreased between 2001 and 2005 at the same time as the amount of dieback visible in the canopy of the poplars markedly decreased. However, the fall in numbers of emergence holes at this time reflected a decline in larval establishment 2–3 years earlier, and indicated that the moth population had responded to a more rapid restoration in the internal state of the trees, which was not reflected immediately by the gradual replacement of dead branches and reduction in dieback symptoms.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Horner syndrome caused by metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is not common, and when diagnosed, may have serious clinical implications. We aim at highlighting the clinical significance of this finding. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts of 6 patients with Horner syndrome secondary to metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in the neck. Results: All 6 patients had pathologically confirmed nodal metastatic HNSCC. There was one unknown primary and in the remaining 5 patients the primary tumor was identified in the oropharynx, larynx, and oral cavity. Three patients died within 1 month of diagnosis, before initiation of any treatment. One patient received radiation only while 2 patients received chemoradiation with cisplatin as the tumors were unresectable given carotid sheath involvement. Median survival was 4.5 months. Only 1 out of the 6 patients survived and had complete resolution of Horner syndrome after treatment. Conclusion: This is the first case series of neck metastasis from mucosal HNSCC as an unusual cause of Horner syndrome and is usually associated with very poor prognosis.

Introduction: Horner syndrome is described as the clinical triad of miosis, ptosis, and anhidrosis. In pediatric patients the condition may be congenital or acquired from neoplastic, infectious or traumatic conditions, including birth trauma. Most cases of pediatric Horner syndrome present first to a pediatric ophthalmologist however since the neural pathways involve the cervical sympathetic chain otolaryngologists should understand the pathophysiology to avoid delay in management of potentially malignant cases. Objectives: To aid otolaryngologists in recognizing and managing pediatric Horner syndrome by describing 3 unique cases from malignant, traumatic and/or congenital causes. Methods: Case report of 3 pediatric patients with Horner syndrome presenting to our pediatric otolaryngology department. Results: Case #1 is 5-month-old female with ptosis and a left level II 1.5 cm neck mass. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the mass displacing the common carotid artery and excisional biopsy revealed a poorly differentiated neuroblastoma. Case #2 is a 9-year-old female with anisocoria appearing after suffering a severe playground injury. Case #3 is a 3-year-old-male who developed ptosis and anisocoria following re-excision of a recurrent cervical lymphatic malformation. Conclusion: Pediatric Horner syndrome may be a benign finding that is easily overlooked but may reflect a serious underlying condition. Otolaryngologists should be aware of the pathophysiology and differential diagnosis, including malignant causes, to appropriately manage patients.

Osasun-asistentziarekin erlazionatutako infekzioak (OAEI) hainbat osasun-eremutan osasun-arreta jasotzeagatik gaixoek paira ditzaketen infekzioak dira. Infekzio hauek ez dira gaixoetan bakarrik azaltzen; osasun-langileei, bestelako langileriari eta gaixoen bisitariei ere kalte egin diezaiekete. Infekzio hauen ondorioz, gaixoen morbilitatea eta heriotza-tasa areagotu egiten da eta, aldi berean, antimikrobianoen aurkako erresistentziak eta kostu ekonomikoak handitu egiten dira. Europa mailan % 5,7k (3,2 milioi pertsona) pairatzen du honelako infekzioa urtero eta Espainia mailan infekzio hauen prebalentzia % 4,8koa da. Espainian, OAEI usuenak dira gernubidekoa, arnasbidekoak, kokapen kirurgikoko infekzioak eta bakteriemiak. Mikroorganismo ezberdinak daude inplikatuak infekzio mota horietan, baina bakterioak dira ugarienak. Infekzioak murrizteko, funtsezkoa da osasun-eremua ahalik garbiena mantentzea, eta bertan biltzen den pertsona orok mikroorganismoen trans- misioa gutxitzeko neurriak hartzea. Hori dela eta, OAEIen zaintza eta prebentziorako neurriak aurrera eramatea funtsezkoa da ahalik paziente gutxiena kaltetzeko. Neurri horiek infekzioaren kate epidemiologikoaren elementuak moldatzera bideratuta daude eta lau taldetan sailka daitezke: neurri estandarrak, transmisio-bidearen araberako neurriak, osasun-eremuaren ingurumen neurriak eta infekzioen kontrol eta zaintzarako prozedura espezifikoak. Horien artean daude eskularruak, maskarak edo mantala jartzea; airearen edo ur laginen kontrol mikrobiologikoa; elikagaien kudeaketaren gainekoak; gaixoen eta osasun-langileen txertoen bidezko immunizazioa edo antibiotikoen bidezko profilaxia. Baina neurri horietatik garrantzitsuena eta mundu-mailan hedatuta dagoena osasun-profesionalek, bisitariek eta baita pazienteek ere burutu behar duten eskuen higienea da, hori baita infekzio hauek murrizteko ekintzarik eraginkorrena, Munduko osasun Erakundeak aipatzen duen moduan »Arreta garbia, arreta seguruagoa» kanpainan. OAEIak eragin ditzaketen mikroorganismo ohikoenak zeintzuk diren jakinik, horien transmisioa ekiditeko eta, horrela, infekzioen tratamendu egokiena aukeratzeko neurriak hobeto har daitezke.

Full textAbstract:
The wandering of non-linear systems along the field of the possible development paths is one of the important characteristics of dynamic non-linear systems in synergetics. Insect populations are a complex of open biological systems with chaotic non-linear dynamics in space and time. Predicting their future development is not an easy task. Ignorance of the non-linear systems dynamics regularity is the cause of the repeated errors in predicting and, as a result, “sudden” appearances of “unexpected” and unpredictable mass reproductions of short-horned grasshoppers and locusts, winter moth, webworm beetle, sun pest and some other insect pests, the consequences of that are catastrophic for agriculture and forestry. In this article the authors analysed thoroughly the chronicles of the mass reproduction (wandering within the temporal and spatial limits of the natural habitat) of such species as short-horned grasshoppers and locusts, webworm beetle and sun pest. These pests have been known to mankind since time immemorial and they are extremely devastating.

Full textAbstract:
Geological and paleontological data derived from the Upper Cretaceous Two Medicine Formation of Montana indicates that at least some dinosaur species exhibited complex social behaviors comparable to many living birds. Two species of duck-billed dinosaurs, a hypsilophodontid and a troodontid, nested in colonies and attended their respective young. Duckbilled dinosaurs had altricial young, whereas the hypsilophodontid and troodontid had precocial young. Morphological evidence indicates that several of the cranial elements of the nestling duckbills experienced retarded development, and a retention of juvenile features. Following their respective nesting periods duck-billed and horned dinosaurs aggregated into large herds, and apparently migrated seasonally. Cranial ornamentations possessed by duck-billed and horned dinosaurs were most likely used for sexual display and mate recognition.Osteohistological data indicates that the duck-billed dinosaurs hatched from their eggs at .50 to .75 meters in length, and exited their nests at 1.5 to 2 meters in length, at an age of about one month. These dinosaurs reached 3 to 4 meters in length their first year, and 7 to 8 meters in length after about 5 years. Growth and metabolic rates decreased substantially upon reaching adult size.

Full textAbstract:
The Four-horned Antelope Tetracerus quadricornis is currently facing numerous dangers throughout its natural range. The major threats include human overpopulation, deforestation, and degradation of its habitat. It is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Now, this species is rare or even absent in most zoos. Given the threats encountered by this species in the wild, its reproduction was analyzed from animal data obtained in European and Indian zoological parks during 39 consecutive years from 1977 to 2016. There was an average of 1.42 new-borns per litter. Twins were more numerous than singletons. Sexual maturity in females did not occur before 18–36 months of age. Most females, however, reproduced for the first time much later, on average at 6–7 years of age and more than half of females produced only one litter. In females that raised their young, new fertilization generally took place 101 days after the preceding birthing. In Indian zoos, where temperatures vary little between seasons, births were numerous in September–February, especially in September–November when rainfall decreases, contrary to deaths that occurred predominantly in June–August during peak rainfall. In European zoos, most litters occurred in December–February. Thus, Four-horned Antelopes maintain part of the birth season of their native countries, despite unfavourable local climate conditions. Deaths of individuals also occurred mainly in December–February in European parks, i.e., during the coldest season. Globally, more males than females died during the first month of life as in other species, but not so after that age. On the whole, there is a low reproductive success in populations of the Four-horned Antelope under managed care compared to other ruminant species. This could partly be due to husbandry and management procedures of individuals in these parks. This raises the question of the possibility of reintroducing individuals into the wild from ex situ livestock.

Full textAbstract:
Background. The aim of this research is to investigate the feasibility of percutaneous ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) for benign solid thyroid nodules. Methods. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation was performed for 90 benign solid thyroid nodules in 75 patients. The volume changes of the nodules were evaluated before and after microwave ablation, and the cosmetic grading and clinical symptoms were assessed as well. Results. The volume of all the 90 benign thyroid nodules obviously decreased after microwave ablation at 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month follow-ups (p<0.01), while that of the control group increased at the follow-up of 12 months (p<0.01). The volume reduction rate (VRR) at 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month follow-ups was 55.98%, 69.31%, 76.65%, and 84.67% in the MWA group, respectively. The cosmetic problems and clinical symptoms were also improved in the MWA group. All the patients are well tolerated to the procedure. Hoarseness occurred in 2 cases (2.7%) and Horner syndrome in 1 case (1.3%), and 1 patient (1.3%) developed slight burn on cervical skin. Conclusions. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation is a practical method for treating benign solid thyroid nodules, and the complications were acceptable. The trial is registered with clinicaltrials.gov with the registration number NCT03057925.

Halaber, mota horretako klausulen habilitazio juridikoa berrikusten du, eta Auzitegi Gorenaren jurisprudentziaren nahiz Sektore Publikoko Kontratuei buruzko 9/2017 Lege berriaren esparruan dauden aukera teknikoak aztertzen ditu. RESUMEN: El presente trabajo constituye un intento de sistematización de la introducción de cláusulas relativas al uso de las lenguas cooficiales en la contratación pública española. Mediante estas cláusulas, los poderes adjudicadores tratan de garantizar, por un lado, el cumplimiento de los derechos de uso de las lenguas cooficiales por parte de los usuarios de los servicios administrativos externalizados mediante contrato. Por otro, se trata de impulsar medidas de normalización del uso y visibilidad de las lenguas propias de las Comunidades Autónomas. El trabajo plantea su utilización en el marco de la contratación pública estratégica, repasa la habilitación jurídica de este tipo de cláusulas, y discute sus distintas posibilidades técnicas en el marco de la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Supremo y la nueva Ley 9/2017, de contratos del sector público. ABSTRACT: This paper is an attempt to systematize the use of linguistic clauses on Spanish public procurement experience. Through these clauses, contracting authorities of autonomous governments with traditional minority official languages ensure, on the one hand, the realisation of the citizens rights to use minority languages, even when public services are outsourced to the market. On the other hand, these terms also deal with policies of promoting the use and visibility of the native languages concerned in the Autonomous communities. The paper stands for the use of this kind of clauses within the strategic public procurement framework, reviews its legal basis, and discusses about different technical possibilities with respect to the Supreme Court case law and the new Public Sector Contracts Act from 2017.

Ikerketa-lan honetan Arabako Gorbeialdeako Hondakinen Partzuergoak kudeatzen dituen hiri-hondakin solidoen (HHSen) errefusa frakzioa karakterizatzeko proposaturiko metodologia eta lorturiko emaitza nagusiak jaso dira. Aztertu diren laginak osatzeko, bilketa kamioiek egin beharreko ibilbideak diseinatu dira, eta horretarako aldagai orokor bi kontuan hartu dira: sasoia (negua eta uda) eta etxebizitza-mota (herrialdea, baserrialdea eta txaletak). Egindako analisiek adierazi dute bi aldagai horiek eragina dutela errefusa frakzioaren konposizioan, eta batez ere errefusa osatzen duten bi frakzio nagusietan: materia organikoa eta bestelako hondakinak. Nabarmentzekoa da errefus masa totalaren %65 (gutxi gorabehera) birzikla edota berrerabil daitezkeen materialek osatzen dutela. Oro har, aztertutako lagin guztiek hobetzeko hein zabala dute materia organikoaren bilketa selektiboan.

Full textAbstract:
To the author’s knowledge this paper describes the first proven report of a combined primary molybdenosis, secondary copper (Cu) deficiency, Ovine White Liver Disease—Cobalt (Co) deficiency, and selenium (Se) deficiency in a small pedigree herd of White Horned Heath sheep in Germany (8 ewes, 2 rams, 3 yearling ewes, 17 lambs) for decades. Clinical signs associated with these mineral deficiencies in a group of pastured ram lambs included emaciation, conjunctivitis, anaemia, growth retardation, discolouration of the wool and photodermatitis. Morbidities and mortalities arose in 4–6-month-old lambs despite intensive veterinary treatment in the summer of 2014 and 2015 (n = 13, 23% died). Se (3/5), Cu (4/7), and Co (3/3) deficiencies in combination with elevated values for Molybdenum (Mo, 2/2) were found. Hamburg is a large industrial city and an input of heavy metals from surrounding industries and coal-fired power stations in combination with a sandy, non-fertilised soil and monoculture grass species might offer a potential explanation for the severity of mineral deficiencies observed in this herd.

Gaur egungo energia-beharra dela eta, energia-iturri fosilak agortu eta CO2- isuriak hazten ari dira. Horrek energia-iturri alternatiboekin bultzatutako gizartearen ideiari indarra ematen dio. CO2-emisioen papera klima-aldaketan aski ezaguna da. Horregatik, kutsatzaile horren birziklapenak energia-beharra eta klima-aldaketa erregula ditzakeela pentsatzen da. CO2 eraldatzeko prozesu bat baino gehiago badaude ere, gehienetan tenperatura eta boltaje oso altuak behar dira, erredukzio fotokatalitikoaren kasuan izan ezik. Horrek landareen fotosintesia simulatzen du, baina, prozesuari bere etekin guztia ateratzeko, fotokatalizatzaileak hobetu behar dira. MOFak metalak eta molekula organikoak koordinatuz osatutako material nanoporotsu mota bat dira, adsortzioaren bidez molekula txikiak harrapatu ditzaketen zulo edo kanalak dituztenak. MOFaren diseinu egokiarekin, metalak eta ligandoak ondo aukeraturik, material horiek CO2-aren erredukzio fotokatalitikoa burutzeko gai izan daitezke.

Full textAbstract:
The Peace Parkland, Alberta, Canada is part of a continentally important region for breeding and migrating aquatic birds. As a result of resource development and agricultural conversion, many wetlands have been lost. Road construction in the area results in the creation of borrow pits, <3 ha ponds created when soil is removed to form the road bed. We surveyed 200 borrow pits for aquatic birds in May through August 2007. We examined patterns of occurrence and richness, categorizing ponds based on surrounding landscape type: agriculture (0–33.3% forest within 500 m), mixed habitat (33.4–66.6% forest), and forested (66.7–100% forest). Principal Component Analysis indicated that pond environments differed based on local and landscape features. Twenty-seven species of aquatic birds used borrow pits, with 13 nesting. Nonmetric Multidimensional Scaling and Indicator Species Analysis of birds observed in each month revealed assemblages characteristic of agricultural ponds, including horned grebe, lesser scaup, American coot, and mallard, and of ponds with >33.3% forest, including bufflehead, ring-necked duck, green-winged teal, and American wigeon. Because borrow pits were used by a variety of dabbling and diving aquatic birds in repeatable assemblages across the breeding season, we propose that these wetlands be integrated into avian conservation strategies.

In July 1998, a widespread lethal collapse of butterfly tree (Bauhinia purpurea L.), puka tree (Meryta sinclairii Hook.), Indian laurel (Ficus microcarpa L.), golden rain tree (Koelreuteria paniculata Laxm.), and Brazilian pepper tree (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi.) has been observed in an ornamental growing area near Catania in eastern Sicily. The diseased plants showed yellowing of the leaves and twig dieback. In cross sections of infected trunks, roots, twigs or shoots, characteristic discoloration of xylem vessels was observed, resembling a vascular wilt disease. The disease was chronic with a lingering decline progressing for years. The isolate that was consistently recovered from diseased tissues on PDA was identified as Verticillium dahliae Kleb., based on verticillate conidiophores with phialides and conidia and melanized microsclerotia. Pathogenicity tests were performed on 4- to 6-month-old seedlings of all five ornamental plants by inoculating a suspension of the fungus (1). Symptoms were observed after 5 to 7 months, and V. dahliae was reisolated, confirming Koch's postulates. To our knowledge this is the first report of V. dahliae on Indian laurel, golden rain tree, and Brazilian pepper tree in Italy, and the first report of the disease on butterfly tree and puka tree.

LABURPENA: Azken urteotan, adierazpen-askatasunaren eremuan interpretazio murriztaile bat egiteko joera agertu da, bai jurisprudentzia arruntean, bai konstituzioarenean. Hori nabarmena da sinboloen eta erakundeen babesaren eremuan: Zigor Kodean hainbat aurreikuspen jaso dira, Konstituzioaren aurkako delituei eskainitako titulu batean. Zigor-mota horien oinarrian, sinbolo eta erakunde horien kontzepzio sakralizatzailea dago, eta eduki anitzeko ondasun juridikoen identifikazioa eta aplikazio zabala. Horri gorroto-diskurtsoaren figura erantsi zaio batzuetan, baina testuingurutik aterata eta bereak dituen interpretazioirizpiderik gabe; hala, figura horren edukia esajeratuz, harekin zerikusirik ez duten egoeretan aplikatu da.

Horregatik, ondorioztatu da adierazpen-askatasuna alde batera geratzen dela, eta bere efikazia nabarmen murriztuta, baztertzen delako, funtsik gabe, erakundeak eta sinboloak kritikatzeko aukera. ABSTRACT: In the last few years, there has occurred a trend towards a restrictive interpretation of the scope of freedom of expression in both ordinary and constitutional case law. One of the areas in which this was most evident is the protection of symbols and institutions, which were the objects of a series of provisions in the Criminal Code with a whole title devoted to crimes against the Constitution. The application of this type of penalties has departed from a sacralizing conception of such symbols and institutions, and from the identification of legal assets of multiple content and expansive application. This has sometimes been accompanied with the use of the figure of hate speech, but out of context and without their own interpretative criteria, so that by exaggerating their content they end up been applied to situations that in fact have nothing to do with it. A significant judicial subjectivism or emotivism is added to them when it comes to define the facts to be judged, which strongly shapes the subsequent qualification of them. This leads to the conclusion that freedom of expression is shifted and its effectiveness substantially diminished in the name of an incorrect exclusion of institutions and symbols of the possibility of being criticized. RESUMEN: En los últimos años se ha producido una tendencia que apunta hacia una interpretación restrictiva del ámbito de la libertad de expresión en la jurisprudencia tanto ordinaria como constitucional. Uno de los terrenos en que esto se ha dado de modo más evidente ha sido el de la protección de los símbolos y las instituciones, objeto de una serie de previsiones en el Código Penal en un título dedicado a los delitos contra la Constitución. La aplicación de estos tipos penales ha partido de una concepción sacralizadora de tales símbolos e instituciones, y de la identificación de bienes jurídicos de contenido múltiple y aplicación expansiva. A ello se ha unido en ocasiones el recurso a la figura del discurso del odio, pero sacada de contexto y sin los criterios de interpretación que le son propios, de modo que exagerando su contenido acaba aplicándose a situaciones que en realidad no tienen que ver con ella. Se añade a lo anterior la frecuente presencia de un apreciable subjetivismo o emotividad por parte del órgano judicial a la hora de definir en este tipo de casos los hechos enjuiciados, lo que condiciona fuertemente la posterior calificación de los mismos. De ello se extrae como conclusión que la libertad de expresión se ve desplazada y su eficacia sustancialmente aminorada, en nombre de una incorrecta exclusión de las instituciones y los símbolos de la posibilidad de ser objeto de crítica.

A 300 kg, 11-month-old quarter horse filly was presented with a joint dislocation in the right anterior limb. The animal was attended at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) Veterinary Hospital in September 2016, where it was reported that the horse was injured on a fence. On clinical examination, the dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint with a rupture of the joint capsule and exposure of bone surfaces was observed, however, with no rupture of the extensor and flexor tendons. Surgery was recommended and the patient was anaesthetised with detomidine (Dormiun V; Agener União, São Paulo, Brazil; 0.04 mg/kg), ketamine (Cetamin; Syntec, São Paulo, Brazil; 0.03 mg/kg/h) and guaiacol glyceryl ether (JA Saúde Animal, São Paulo, Brasil, 0.5 ml/kg/h) i.v. The reconstitution of the joint capsule, lateral collateral ligament (LCL) and the other soft tissues around the injury was performed. A chemical arthrodesis was performed, then the tissue approximation and finally the skin suture. Bandages were applied on the wound with hydrophobic cotton and a Robert-Jones dressing. Systemic treatment was performed with enrofloxacin (Zelotril 10%; Agener União, São Paulo, Brazil; 5 mg/kg) i.m., meloxicam (Maxicam 2%; São Paulo, Brasil; 0.6 mg/kg) i.v. during 10 and 20 days, respectively, then replacing the antibiotic with ceftiofur (Cef 50; Agener União, São Paulo, Brasil; 2.2 mg/kg) i.m. for another 22 days. An iodine solution was applied to the joint optimising arthrodesis. After three and a half months, the lesion was entirely healed and with good movement, so the patient was discharged. This case demonstrates that, with adequate treatment and attention, it is possible to recover the patient’s quality of life.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate for the effects of valpromide on heart rate circadian rhythm in remitted recurrent unipolar and bipolar disorders (DSM-III-R). It consisted of a comparative, randomized, double-blind, repeated cross-over study of valpromide versus placebo over four four-week periods. The primary evaluation criteria was heart rate (HR). Secondary criteria comprised motor activity (MA) and the Bech and Rafaelsen mania assessment scale, Horne and Ostberg questionnaire, Montgomery and Asberg depression rating scale, Spiegel questionnaire, a sleep diary, and Clinical Global Impression. Fifteen patients were included, giving 60 one-month periods (30 valpromide periods and 30 placebo periods).Cosinor analysis of HR and MA data revealed a difference in amplitude (P = 0.037, analysis of variance, one-tailed test).The clinical sleep study shows that the duration of sleep was greater with valpromide than with placebo (P = 0.007, one-tailed test). Similarly, evaluation of the quality of sleep by patients themselves showed valpromide to be superior to placebo (P = 0.045, one-tailed test). The results of analysis of the Spiegel questionnaire also confirm the superiority of valpromide over placebo. Safety and compliance were comparable for the active drug and the placebo.In conclusion, the relatively small sample size requires cautious interpretation of this study. Nevertheless, these initial results show a definite effect of valpromide on a biological rhythm that leads one to suppose that it may be effective through a ‘synchronizing’ effect.

Abstract Honey bees are very valuable to human. These social insects contribute in the pollination of many crops. Also, the products from honey bee colonies have many nutritional and medicinal benefits. Thus, keeping honey bees are very valuable and can be considered as source of income to many families. There are many diseases and pests that attack honey bee colonies. The pests attack bee colonies include: hornets, wax moths, bee-eater birds, and beetles. Such challenges can impact the survival and productivity of honey bee colonies. In this study, some beetle species belong to Fam. Nitidulidae, Dermestidae and Mycetophagidae were detected in honey bee colonies in Egypt, during spring. Despite the presence of many beetle species in the agricultural environment, only few species preferred the invasion of the colonies for feeding. These beetles do not attack stages of honey bees. They only feed on stored pollen or bee bread, especially those fallen on the bottom of the beehives. This is an alarm to follow the feeding behavior and distribution of these beetles. These beetles’ species can be considered as potential pests to weak honey bee colonies, housed in old or damaged beehives. The presence of large numbers of these beetles in weak colonies may disturb the activities of the bees and may passively impact the survival of the colonies. Listing these beetles is very important to better understanding the interaction between honey bees and beetles. On the other side, small hive beetles were not detected in the colonies. These beetles are currently one of the major problems facing honey bees in different parts of the world. This study confirms the absence of small hive beetles from Egypt.

Full textAbstract:
Elucidating the mechanisms of abiotic stress tolerance in different species will help to develop more resistant plant varieties, contributing to improve agricultural production in a climate change scenario. Basic responses to salt stress, dependent on osmolyte accumulation and activation of antioxidant systems, have been studied in Nerium oleander, a xerophytic species widely used as ornamental. Salt strongly inhibited growth, but the plants survived one-month treatments with quite high NaCl concentrations, up to 800 mM, indicating the the species is relatively resistant to salt stress, in addition to drought. Levels of proline, glycine betaine and soluble sugars increased only slightly in the presence of salt; however, soluble sugar absolute contents were much higher than those of the other osmolytes, suggesting a functional role of these compounds in osmotic adjustment, and the presence of constitutive mechanisms of response to salt stress. High salinity generated oxidative stress in the plants, as shown by the increase of malondialdehyde levels. Antioxidant systems, enzymatic and non-enzymatic, are generally activated in response to salt stress; in oleander, they do not seem to include total phenolics or flavonoids, antioxidant compounds which did not accumulate significantly in salt-trated plants

Giza papilomabirusa (HPV) 120 genotipo baino gehiagoz osaturiko birus taldea da. Genotipo horien guztien artean 40 bat inguruk gaitasun onkogenikoa dute eta minbizia sor dezakete gorputzeko hainbat ataletan:orofaringea, bulba, zakila edo umetoki-lepoa. Azken minbizi mota honek urtero 250.000 emakumeren heriotza eragiten du. Halaber, kontuan izan behar da HPV genotipo guztiek ez dutela onkogenikotasun maila bera aurkezten. 16 eta 18 genotipoak, adibidez, umetoki lepoko minbizi kasuen % 75etan aurkitu dira. Ikerketa lan honetan minbizia garatzeko arrisku altua duten giza papilomabirus (HPV) genotipoen populazio-baheketa egin dugu gure inguruko emakume talde batean (Bilbo, Euskal Herria), birus honen nagusitasuna eta genotipo desberdinen arteko banaketa ezagutzeko. Gure ikerketa honetan, ikusi da birus honen arrisku altuko genotipoen intzidentzia gure inguruan % 10,63 dela eta HPV 16 eta 18ak sortutako infekzioak umetoki-lepoko epitelioan lesioak sortzeko gaitasun altuagoa dutela; hain zuzen, HPV 16 duten emakumeen % 56,25ak lesioren bat garatu dute. Gainera, egiaztatu ahal izan da emakume gazteei nagusiki eragiten dien birusa dela; 30 urtetik beherako emakumeetan birusaren nagusitasuna % 24,87koa izan da, 30 eta 50 urte arteko emakumeetan % 8,37koa eta 50 urte baino nagusiagoak diren emakumeetan % 3,36koa. Azkenik, behatu izan da infekzio anitzek gaitasun handia dutela umetoki lepoko epitelioan lesioak sortzeko, batez ere 16 genotipoa arrisku altuko beste genotipo batzuekin batera daudenean. Gainera, infekzio anitzak emakume gazteetan baizik ez dira agertzen (batez besteko adina 28,89 urte).

Autismoaren espektroaren nahastea jokabidean definitutako garapen neurologikoaren desoreka da. Bi sintoma dira haren bereizgarri nagusi: batetik, urritasun soziala; bestetik, mugimendu errepikakor eta murriztaileak. Autismoaren klinikaren heterogeneotasunagatik, eta etiologia eta fisiopatologia konplexuagatik, farmakoterapia zuzendu bat garatzea da gaur egungo erronka garrantzitsua. Erabiltzen den ohiko interbentzioa portaeraren terapia bada ere, autismo kasuen % 75ek tratamendu farmakologikoa jasotzen du asoziaturiko sintometarako, baina momentuz ez dago sintoma nagusietarako eraginkorra den farmakorik. Beraz, farmako berriak garatzeko ahalegin handia egiten ari da ikerketa biomedikoa, eta horien artean oxitozina dugu. oxitozina nerbio sistema zentralean neuromodulatzaile gisa jokatzen duen peptido bat da. Ikusi da garapen goiztiarrean mutazio genetikoengatik gertatutako oxitozina-sistemaren porrotak jokaera sozialean eragin dezakeela eta aktibitate eta plastikotasun sinaptikoan ere bai. testuinguru horretan, oxitozinak autismoaren tratamenduan izan dezakeen erabilgarritasuna eta arrakasta aztertzen ari dira. Batetik, autismoaren forma monogenikoetan oinarritutako zenbait animalia-ereduk oxitozina sisteman nolabaiteko alterazioak erakusten dituzte, eta horietan oxitozina emateak urritasun sozialaren hobekuntza eragiten du. Bestetik, gizakietan ere hainbat saio kliniko egiten ari dira oxitozinaren erabilgarritasun terapeutikoa aztertzeko. Baina kasu horretan, animalia-ereduetan ikusi denarekin konparaturik, lortutako emaitzak ezberdinak dira: ikerketa batzuetan kognizio sozialean hobekuntzak ikusi dira, baina beste batzuetan ez. Gizakien artean dagoen heterogeneotasuna dela eta, ez da oso harritzekoa hori. ondorioz, ikerketa gehiagoren beharra dago oxitozinak autismoan izan dezakeen erabilgarritasuna modu sendoago batean balioztatzeko eta baita tratamendu mota hau zein banakorentzat litzatekeen onuragarriena zehazteko ere.

ABSTRACTThe aim of the present paper is to analyse and characterise the way in which teacher educators work with student teachers when conducting analyses of their own practice by means of selfconfrontation interviews. The corpus of this work consists of 10 self-confrontation interviews carried out by 5 teacher educators. The role of those teacher educators was analysed using the transcriptions of the interviews and 9 categories were identified. Two categories were found to be the most common: demanding specifications and creating controversy. Differences were also found as regards teacher educators’ profile. As a result, in-depth training for teacher educators has been considered as needed.KEYWORDS: initial teacher education, teacher educators, analysis of the activity, self-confrontation interviews.LABURPENALan honen helburua da aztertzea eta ezaugarritzea unibertsitateko irakasle-bideratzaileek zer nolako bidaidetza mota egiten duten etorkizuneko irakasleekin euren praktikaren analisia bideoaren aurreko autokonfrontazio elkarrizketak egiten ari direnean. 5 irakasle-bideratzailek egindako 10 autokonfrontazio elkarrizketak osatutako corpusean,. aztertu da irakasle-bideratzaile horien rola ikasleekin egindako autokonfrontazio elkarrizketen transkribapenetan eta euren jarduna 9 kategoriatan banatu da.

Object. Cranial nerve injuries, particularly motor nerve injuries, following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) can be disabling and therefore patients should be given reliable information about the risks of sustaining such injuries. The reported frequency of cranial nerve injury in the published literature ranges from 3 to 23%, and there have been few series in which patients were routinely examined before and after surgery by a neurologist. Methods. The authors investigated the risk of cranial nerve injuries in patients who underwent CEA in the European Carotid Surgery Trial (ECST), the largest series of patients undergoing CEA in which neurological assessment was performed before and after surgery. Cranial nerve injury was assessed and recorded in every patient and persisting deficits were identified on follow-up examination at 4 months and 1 year after randomization. Risk factors for cranial nerve injury were examined by performing univariate and multivariate analyses. There were 88 motor cranial nerve injuries among the 1739 patients undergoing CEA (5.1% of patients; 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.1–6.2). In 23 patients, the deficit had resolved by hospital discharge, leaving 3.7% of patients (95% CI 2.9–4.7) with a residual cranial nerve injury: 27 hypoglossal, 17 marginal mandibular, 17 recurrent laryngeal, one accessory nerve, and three Horner syndrome. In only nine patients (0.5%; 95% CI 0.24–0.98) the deficit was still present at the 4-month follow-up examination; however, none of the persisting deficits resolved during the subsequent follow up. Only duration of operation longer than 2 hours was independently associated with an increased risk of cranial nerve injury (hazard ratio 1.56, p < 0.0001). Conclusions. The risk of motor cranial nerve injury persisting beyond hospital discharge after CEA is approximately 4%. The vast majority of neurological deficits resolve over the next few months, however, and permanent deficits are rare. Nevertheless, the risk of cranial nerve injury should be communicated to patients before they undergo surgery.

RESUMEN: La Ley de Instituciones Locales de Euskadi incorpora un catálogo propio de derechos y deberes de los vecinos que complementa los establecidos por la legislación estatal básica de régimen local. Este catálogo supone la actualización de determinados aspectos del estatuto del vecino a la sociedad vasca del siglo XXI que debe valorarse como un avance legislativo. Por sus características propias, algunos de los derechos no se limitan a los vecinos del municipio sino que se extienden a la ciudadanía en general. Entre las novedades a resaltar podemos mencionar una concepción más amplia de la participación, que no se limita a la mera gestión municipal, sino que se refiere a las políticas públicas locales. Puede subrayarse, además, la incorporación de la noción de discriminación múltiple que permite una mejor cobertura para luchar contra este tipo de discriminaciones. En el derecho de acceso a los servicios públicos también se añade la noción de servicios de interés general en la línea de la Carta de Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea. También debe destacarse un catálogo más completo que el estatal de los deberes que permita avanzar hacia una sociedad más responsable. Como aspectos que, en cambio, podrían profundizarse estaría el establecimiento de mecanismos de garantía y aseguramiento del cumplimiento de estos derechos y deberes. En cualquier caso, en este ámbito se trata de una ley pionera y de referencia. ABSTRACT: The Act of Local Entities in Euskadi incorporates its own catalogue of rights and duties of neighbours that supplements those established by the Basic State legislation on local regime. This catalogue means an update of some specific aspects of the statute for the neighbourhood in Basque society in XXI century which as to be assessed as a legislative advance. Because of their characteristics, some of the rights are not confined to the municipality neighbours and cover citizenship in general. Among the novelties to be highlighted, we may mention a broader concept of participation which does not confine itself in the mere municipal management but that refers to the local public policies. It is worth noting besides that the incorporation of the idea of multiple discrimination allows a better coverage for fighting against these discriminations. In the right of access to public services it is also added the notion of general interest services in the context of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. It must also be highlighted a more complete catalogue of duties of that of the State that may lead to a more responsible society. As aspects that in contrast may be enhanced could be the establishment of mechanisms of guarantee and assurance of the fulfilling of those rights and duties. In any case, this act is in this area pioonering and baseline.

"A study of serum insulin-like growth factor type 1 (IGF-1) concentrations in resting untrained Andalusian horses: influence of age and gender."

Full textAbstract:
Growth rate, tissue repair and reproductive functions are mediated by the somatotrophic axis, the growth hormone (GH) being one of its main components. GH is released in a pulsatile manner and a single measurement does not provide accurate information on the activity of the somatotrophic axis. The actions of GH on tissues are mediated by insulin-like growth factor type 1 (IGF-1), mainly released by the liver, and thus, the measurement of IGF-1 could be considered a good indicator of the activity of GH and the somatotrophic axis. Serum IGF-1 concentrations are relatively stable due to its long biological half-life without obvious diurnal rhythm. Additionally, many diseases significantly alter circulating IGF-1 concentrations, leading to potential diagnostic and prognostic uses in veterinary medicine. However, serum IGF-1 concentrations are affected by many factors, such as breed, age and sex. The present study analyzes the influence of these factors on serum IGF-1 concentrations in a population of 255 Andalusian horses (141 females and 114 males), divided into age groups: 1–2, 2–3, 3–4, 4–5, 5–6 and 6–12 months and 1–2, 2–4, 4–6, 6–10 and 10–14 years. The animals belonged to six different farms located in the same geographic location and were subjected to similar feeding and management protocols. Two measurements of body size were made: height at the withers (HW) and diameter of the thorax (DTx). Blood samples were taken always in the morning, in the month of July and serum IGF-1 concentrations were measured with a sandwich ELISA after dissociation of IGF-1 from its binding proteins. It was found that age and sex significantly influenced serum IGF-1 concentrations, whereas the effects of the farm and the time of blood withdrawal were not significant. Mean serum concentrations for both males and females respectively were: 246.3 and 231.0 (1–2 months), 201.9 and 194.7 (2–3 months), 174.2 and 170.4 (3–4 months), 161.7 and 155.4 (4–5 months), 166.1 and 136.9 (5–6 months), 127.2–114.5 (6–12 months), 103.3 and 89.01 (1–2 years), 104.3 and 73.41 (2–4 years), 105.4 and 64.40 (4–6 years), 53.29 and 68.27 (6–10 years) and 59.56 and 65.53 ng/ml (10–14 years). A progressive decrease in serum IGF-1 concentrations with increased age was found for both sexes. Males aged between five and 12 months and between two and six years had significantly higher serum IGF-1 concentrations than females of the same age. Coefficients of correlation between the indicators of body size (HW and DTx) and IGF-1 were –0.800 and –0.690 for the whole population of Andalusian horses, –0.860 and –0.750 for the males and –0.740 and –630 for the females. It is concluded that serum IGF-1 concentrations in Andalusian horses are reduced with ageing, male horses of determined age groups had higher IGF-1 than the females and there are negative correlations between body size and IGF-1 concentrations. The knowledge of the normal serum IGF-1 concentrations will help us to understand the role of the somatotrophic axis in several diseases and physiological situations and will provide information for further research on this equine breed.

Full textAbstract:
Solanum cardiophyllum Lindl and Solanum ehrenbergii (Bitt) Rydb are wild edible potato plants found throughout central Mexico (2). These plants are not cultivated, but farmers collect tubers for their own consumption and to sell at local markets (2). Wilted plants were observed in experimental plots of these wild potatoes established near Chapingo, Mexico, during spring 1983. Initial symptoms included wilting and dark yellowing of lower leaves. As the disease advanced, all of the foliage became chlorotic and the plants wilted and eventually died. Disease incidence was 13.4% for S. ehrenbergii and 0.2% for S. cardiophyllum. Verticillium dahliae Kleb. was consistently isolated from the roots and lower stems of diseased plants of both Solanum species. The isolating procedure consisted of thoroughly rinsing roots and lower stems with tap water and cutting roots and stems into 3- to 6-cm sections that were placed in 10% bleach for 3 to 5 min. Bleach excess was removed with sterile paper, and the tissue sections were cut into smaller pieces (0.5 cm) and placed on potato dextrose agar (PDA) plates. Cultures of Verticillium produced numerous dark microsclerotia of various shapes and sizes (0.05 to 0.1 mm); erect, slender, hyaline, and branched conidiophores; and elliptical and hyaline, single-celled conidia characteristic of V. dahliae (1). Pathogenicity studies were conducted in a greenhouse on 2-month-old S. cardiophyllum and S. ehrenbergii plants grown from tubers. Inoculum was obtained from colonies growing on PDA for 10 days producing abundant conidia. Conidial suspensions were obtained by flooding the plate cultures with sterile distilled water, filtering the suspension with two layers of cheesecloth, and adjusting the inoculum to 1.0 × 106 conidia/ml (3). Ten ml of the conidial suspension were applied to each of four holes 5 cm deep and 3 to 5 cm next to the crown of each plant. Symptoms similar to those observed on field-grown plants were observed 15 days after inoculation, and V. dahliae was re-isolated from lower stems and roots. All inoculated plants were dead 4 weeks after inoculation. Water-inoculated plants remained healthy throughout the experiments. This is the first report of V. dahliae on S. cardiophyllum and S. ehrenbergii. References: (1) G. R. Dixon. Vegetable Crop Diseases. Avi Publishing, Westport, Connecticut. 1981. (2) J. Galindo.

Monthly surveillance allows us to monitor trends in the recovery of these resistant organisms and address issues of concern that could impact our patients, clients, staff, and students. Methods: The OSU-CVM ASWG collects samples from >100 surfaces within the companion animal, farm animal, and equine sections of our hospital each month. Sampling has been continuous since January 2018. Samples are collected from both human–animal contact and human-only contact surfaces using Swiffer electrostatic cloths. These samples are cultured for recovery of Salmonella spp, extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE), and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus spp. Results: The recovery of these antibiotic resistant target organisms is low in the environment of our hospital. Recovery from human-only contact surfaces (19.8%) is very similar to recovery from human–animal contact surfaces (25.5%). We commonly recover Enterobacteriaceae (E.coli, Klebsiella spp, and Enterobacter spp) that are resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins (496 of 2,016; 24.6%) from the VMC environment. These antibiotic-resistant indicator bacteria are expected in a veterinary hospital setting where use the of β-lactam drugs is common. Recovery of both Salmonella spp and CPE has remained very low in our hospital environment over the past 19 months: 16 of 2,016 (0.7%) for Salmonella and 15 of 2,016 (0.8%) for CPE. Discussion: The active environmental surveillance component of our antimicrobial stewardship program has allowed us to reduce the threat of nosocomial infections within our hospital and address environmental contamination issues before they become a problem. Our consistently low recovery of resistant organisms indicates the effectiveness of our existing cleaning and disinfection protocols and biosecurity measures. Due to the nature of our patient population, we do expect to find resistant organisms in the patient-contact areas of the hospital environment. However, our similar rates of resistant organisms from human-only surfaces (eg, computer keyboards, door handles, telephones, and Cubex machines) indicates a need to improve our hand hygiene practices. These data are now supporting the implementation of a new hand hygiene campaign in our veterinary hospital.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None

Background:Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is treated with high dose glucocorticoids and progressively reduced over months to years.Objectives:We undertook an audit to evaluate self-reported adherence to the original recommended glucocorticoid course and explored reasons for any variation.Methods:We recruited patients attending a single rheumatology department over 18 months. Respondents were given two self- administered questionnaires to record information regarding their use of glucocorticoids during the “last 7 days” and during the “last 6 months”. We retrieved 132 questionnaires (of whom 6 were discarded as incomplete). All data was analyzed using SPSS Statistics v22.Results:Of the 126 patients (mean age 74.9 ± 7.7 years), 59% were female. The mean duration of disease was 22.5 ± 19.1 months in patients with GCA and 32.9 ± 29.9 months in those with GCA and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). The mean daily number of medications taken was 9.2 ± 5.2 (range: 1 - 30); the mean number of types of daily tablets taken was 5.0 ± 2.1 (range: 1 - 10). The mean daily number of glucocorticoid tablets taken was 3.2 ± 2.6 (range: 0 - 12), with a mean daily dose of 11.1 ± 10.3 mg (range: 0 - 60 mg). Overall, in the last 7 days, 22% and in last 6 months, 40% of patients were not following their original recommended steroid regimens (Table 1). The total mean glucocorticoid dose in the “last 7 days” group (n=81) was 77.8 ± 70.1 mg/week (11.1 ± 10.1 mg/day) whilst the total mean glucocorticoid dose in the “last 6 month” group (n=45) was 1782.0 ± 1543.3 mg/6 month (9.9 ± 8.6 mg/day). Most respondents stated their glucocorticoid non-adherence was due to medical advice; other reasons included forgetting, fear of side e ects, or confusion about di erent preparations of prescribed glucocorticoids. The presence of PMR did not influence glucocorticoid adherence.Table 1.Glucocorticoid used compared to original regimen in GCALast 7 days (%)Last 6 months (%)Higher than prescribed1622Lower than prescribed618Same as prescribed7860Conclusion:There is significant variation in the use of glucocorticoids compared to the original starting regimen in patients with GCA, with or without PMR. However, the amount of the discrepancy is small. The commonest reason for non-adherence was medical advice received from either primary or secondary care.References:[1]Glucocorticoids for management of polymyalgia rheumatica and giant cell arteritis.

This research aimed to determine the effect of aerosolized salbutamol administration on systemic and pulmonary hemodynamic, pulmonary mechanics and oxygen balance in healthy horses during general anaesthesia. Six healthy Thoroughbreds (body weight range 471–587 kg) underwent two general anaesthesias in dorsal recumbency with and without aerosolized salbutamol administration in randomized order with a one month washout period. The anaesthesia was induced by 1.1 mg/kg of xylazine, 0.02 mg/kg of diazepam and 2.2 mg/kg of ketamine, maintained with isoflurane in oxygen and air and horses were mechanically ventilated. Measurement of arterial and pulmonary arterial blood pressures, cardiac output and arterial and mixed venous blood gas analysis was carried out. Spirometry was performed using a Horse-lite. After achieving a steady state, baseline (T<sub>0</sub>) values of cardiac output, systemic and pulmonary arterial blood pressures, heart rate, dynamic compliance, airway resistance and arterial and mixed venous blood gas values and pH were recorded in both groups. In the S-group (salbutamol), 2 µg/kg of aerosolized salbutamol were administered synchronously with inspirium into the tracheal tube. In both groups data were recorded at 15, 30, 45 and 60 min (T<sub>15</sub>, T<sub>30</sub>, T<sub>45</sub>, T<sub>60</sub>) after the baseline. PaO<sub>2</sub>/FiO<sub>2</sub> ratio, oxygen consumption (VO<sub>2</sub>), oxygen delivery (DO<sub>2</sub>), pulmonary shunt values were calculated. Data were tested for normality and compared within each group: T<sub>0</sub> value with T<sub>15</sub>, T<sub>30</sub>, T<sub>45</sub>, T<sub>60</sub> values using Wilcoxon's test with Bonferoni correction (significance level 0.0125). For each time point, comparisons were made between the S- and C-groups (control) using Wilcoxon's test. In the S-group, there was a significant increase in values (mean ± SD) of cardiac output (l/min), T<sub>0</sub> (38 ± 7), a peak at T<sub>15</sub> (64 ± 25.5), significantly higher values persisted throughout the period of anaesthesia; heart rate (beats/min), T<sub>0</sub> (32 ± 2), T<sub>15</sub> (40 ± 6), T<sub>30</sub> (38 ± 5); DO<sub>2</sub> (l/min), T<sub>0</sub> (5.8 ± 0.8), a peak at T<sub>15</sub> (9.6 ± 3.2), significantly higher values persisted until the end of anaesthesia and VO<sub>2</sub> (l/min), T<sub>0</sub> (1.1 ± 0.5), T<sub>30</sub> (1.6 ± 0.7) and T<sub>45</sub> (1.8 ± 0.5). In the C-group, there was a significant decrease in values of PaO<sub>2</sub>/FiO<sub>2</sub> ratio from T<sub>0</sub> (176 ± 67) to a minimum at T<sub>60</sub> (114 ± 36) and in DO<sub>2</sub> from T<sub>0</sub> (6 ± 2.3) to a minimum at T<sub>60</sub> (4.3 ± 1.2). A comparison of the S- and C-groups did not reveal any difference in the baseline data. Subsequently, significantly higher values of cardiac output, heart rate, DO<sub>2</sub>, and the PaO<sub>2</sub>/FiO<sub>2 </sub>ratio were found in the S-group compared to the C-group. Pulmonary arterial blood pressure was significantly lower in the S-group. Aerosolized salbutamol administration in healthy horses during general anaesthesia caused hemodynamic changes which resulted in an elevation of oxygen delivery. It can have a positive effect on arterial oxygenation, but the effect varies between individuals.

<div><p><em>This research sets out to unravel the history of Lennox Mine from its inception in 1970 tracing the contribution of the mine to the economic development of Zimbabwe from its colonial beginnings up to the current period when the new visionary owner, Honourable Gandiwa Moyo, Deputy Minister of Mines who inherited a dysfunctional mining enterprise set it on course again as a pillar for economic production, under the erstwhile management of the Lennox General Mine Manager, Edgar Mashindi. The research seeks to explore how the mine management, operating under harsh economic conditions prevailing in Zimbabwe has empowered African entrepreneurs and employees and resuscitated life to the dying town of Mashava. Mashava is back on its former footing as a lively booming bedroom town of Masvingo City, forty kilometres away: supermarkets, bars, salons, housing projects, new shops are sprouting up once again as Mashava claims its proud place as a gold producing enclave of the Zimbabwean economy. Hundreds of unemployed youths from all over Zimbabwe have descended on Mashava, seeking employment and investment opportunities resulting in an unprecedented economic boom which is being felt country wide. Only recently hordes of flea female market traders opened shop at Mashava to sell clothes, shoes, household furniture and related paraphernalia to local residents and they reported that business was excellent and confirmed business plans to return every month end to sell their wares. A few years back Mashava was an abandoned mining town with all services shut down after the Capitalist oligarchic organization which owned Mashava ceased all operations and expropriated capital to Australia and Europe and started out new commercial ventures in those respective European countries. The Zimbabwean Electricity Supply Association [ZESA] shut down electricity supplies to Lennox Mine after the mine incurred a debt of close to a quarter of a million. Today, Lennox has agreed on a payment plan and electricity has been reopened triggering high gold productivity as the mine returns to its normal production levels.</em></p></div>

LABURPENA: Lan horretan, Bretainia Handian gobernuko eta parlamentuko kideentzat onartutako eta pentsatutako jarrera kodeak aztertzen dira. Esperientzia hori oso aberatsa da, iragan mendearen hasieran hasi baitzen eta etengabe eboluzionatu baita, britainiar bizitza publikoan zintzotasun handiagoa eskatzen zen heinean. Horrez gain, Bretainia Handiko «konstituzio»aren berezitasunei eta, bereziki, kodeok egituratzeko «konstituzio konbentzio»en erabilpenari esker, bide zabala dago kode mota hori erabiltzeko. Hain zuzen, berezitasun horiek kontuan izaki, bertako esperientzia Europa osora hedatzea ez da erraza, baina asko ikas daiteke Erresuma Batuan erabilitako arazoetatik eta beroriek konpontzeko erabilitako formuletatik. RESUMEN: El presente trabajo aborda la experiencia británica en materia de códigos de conducta aprobados y pensados para los miembros del gobierno y del parlamento. Esta experiencia es muy rica pues se inicia a finales del siglo pasado y no ha parado de evolucionar en paralelo a las crecientes demandas a favor de una mayor honradez en la vida pública británica. Además las peculiaridades de la «constitución» británica y, en particular, el uso de «convenciones constitucionales» para articular estos códigos han resultado un campo muy fértil para un uso razonable de este tipo de códigos. Precisamente por esas peculiaridades tan británicas la traslación de esta experiencia al resto de Europa resulta muy problemática, si bien se puede aprender mucho de los problemas y de las fórmulas empleados para resolverlos en el Reino Unido. ABSTRACT: This work deals with the British experience on Codes of Conduct approved and envisaged for the Government and Parliament members. This experience is very broad as it started at the end of the past century and it has been evolving since then together with the growing demands for a greater honesty in British public life. Furthermore, the peculiarities of the British «constitution» and particularly the use of «constitutional conventions» in order to articulate those codes have been a very fertile breeding ground for a reasonable use of those type of codes. It is precisely for such British peculiarities that the transposition of this experience to the rest of Europe is very problematic, while there is a lot to be learnt of the problems and formula used to solve them in the United Kingdom.

LABURPENA: 1970eko hamarkadatik eta, bereziki, 1979an NBEk Emakumearen aurkako bereizkeria mota guztiak ezabatzeko konbentzioa onartu zuenetik, emakumeen eta gizonen berdintasunari buruzko hainbat lege sortu dituzte. Ohikoa da araudi horien hitzaurrean edo azalpenean emakumeek jasaten duten desparekotasun arazoaren ezaugarri sistemikoa adieraztea, eta berdintasunerako eskubidea artikulatzean aintzatespen hori desagertzea, tratu- berdintasun eta aukera-berdintasun kontzeptuen bidez. Halakorik ez gertatzeko, emakumeen desparekotasunaren elementu sistematikoak (genero-estereotipoak, adibidez) aintzat hartzen dituen argudiaketa juridikoaren alde egiten du lan honek. Horrek zera eragingo luke: arauak interpretatzen eta aplikatzen dituztenek beren jarrera zehaztu beharko lukete, edo, labur esanda, lanbide juridikoek planteamendu aktibista egin beharko lukete. RESUMEN: A partir de los anos setenta y, en particular, tras la Convencion para la eliminacion de todas las formas de discriminacion contra la mujer (aprobada por la ONU en 1979), han proliferado normativas varias referidas a la igualdad de mujeres y hombres. Lo normal es que tales normativas reconozcan en sus preambulos o exposiciones de motivos el caracter sistemico de la problematica de desigualdad de las mujeres pero que tal reconocimiento se diluya cuando se trata de articular el derecho a la igualdad, lo que se hace mediante los conceptos de igualdad de trato y de igualdad de oportunidades. Con el fin de impedir que se produzca esa fractura, en este trabajo se aboga por una forma de argumentacion juridica que tome en consideracion elementos sistemicos de la desigualdad de las mujeres (como, por ejemplo, los estereotipos de genero). Esto conlleva la necesidad de una toma de postura por parte de quienes interpretan y aplican las normas o, en definitiva, un planteamiento activista de las profesiones juridicas. ABSTRACT: From the seventies on and in particular after the Convention for the elimination of discrimination againt women (passed by the UNO in 1979), several normatives refered to the equality of women and men have proliferated. It is common that such normatives acknowledge in their preambles or statements of reasons the sistemic character of the women’s inequality problematic but that nevertheless that acknowledgement becomes blurred when the right to equality is articulated, which is carried out by means of the concpets of equality of treatment and equality of opportunities. For the purpose of hindering that fracture, this work advocates for a form of legal reasoning that takes the sistemic elements in women’s inequality (as, for example, gender stereotypes) into consideration. This brings the need to take a position by those that interpret and apply provisions or, eventually, an activist approach by legal professions.

LABURPENA: Ikerketa-lerro berri baten ildoan, lan honetan ikuspegi globalago eta hain konpartimentatua ez den batetik aztertzen da sua, Zuzenbidearekin eta botere publikoekin dituen harremanetik. Ekarpen honetan, batez ere oinarri jurisprudentzialetik aztertzen da basokoak ez diren suteen eragina —sakon aztertu izan ditu doktrinak eta justifikatutako arreta eskaini izan die legegileak—, baina arreta juridiko berezia merezi dute, ez soilik mugatua kalte-eskubidera edo tribunal zibilen jarrera tinkora erantzukizunak objektibatzeko orduan, sutearen eta ondorioaren arteko kausalitatean zentratuta, eta ez sutearen arrazoian, hori jakitea sarritan ezinezkoa izaten omen delako. Su hartu ohi duten objektuen artean daude administrazioaren elementuak eta ekipamenduak —adibidez, edukiontziak, ibilgailu publikoak edo hondakindegiak—, bai eta errepide-ertz zaindu gabeak eta bideetako eta parterreetako sastrakak ere, eta horien ondorioak, batzuetan, ingurune naturalera zabaltzen dira. Ondoko lerroetan lagin moduan eskaintzen da kasu interesgarrien multzo bat, irizpide juridiko berdin batzuekin bideratu ahal izateko sute mota guztiak, hainbeste mugatu gabe haien etiologiara edo haien ondorio pribatu, administratibo edo penalera. RESUMEN: El trabajo se inscribe en una reciente línea de investigación conducente a analizar desde una visión más global y menos compartimentada el fenómeno del fuego en su relación con el Derecho y los poderes públicos. En esta concreta aportación se examina, con base jurisprudencial fundamentalmente, la incidencia ambiental de fuegos no adjetivados como forestales —materia profusa y tradicionalmente estudiada por la doctrina y de justificada preocupación para el legislador—, pero que merecen una consideración jurídica peculiar, no limitada al derecho de daños o a la arraigada posición de los tribunales civiles a la hora de objetivar responsabilidades centrándose en la causalidad entre fuego y resultado y no en la causa del fuego, cuyo conocimiento —se dice— es muchas veces imposible. Elementos y equipamientos administrativos como contenedores, vehículos públicos o vertederos aparecen, al igual que los márgenes descuidados de las carreteras y los matojos de vías y parterres, entre los objetos más frecuentemente incendiables con consecuencias que, en ocasiones, trascienden hasta el medio natural. En las líneas que siguen se ofrece como muestra un conjunto de casos de interés que invitan, como se ha dicho, a reencauzar, con algunos criterios jurídicos comunes, la aparición de toda suerte de fuegos sin ceñirse tanto en su tratamiento a su etiología o a la repercusión privada, administrativa o penal de los mismos. ABSTRACT: This work is part of a recent research trend that leads to analyzse the phenomenum of fire and its relatioship with Law and public authorities from a more comprehensive and less compartmentalized vision. This particular contribution studies with basis essentially on caselaw the enviromental impact of those non forest fires —profuse issue which is traditionally studied by the scholars and of justified concern for the legislator— but that deserve a peculiar legal consideration not only restricted to tort law or to the so settled position by the civil courts when they establish the responsabilities focusing on the causality between fire and result and not on the casue of fire, whose knowledge —it is said— is often impossible. Administrative components and equipments like dumpsters, public vehicles or garbage dumps are together with the neglected shoulders of the roads and the brushes of routes and flower beds are the more often sensitive to fire objects with consequences that sometimes go beyond the enviroment. The following offers as a proof a group of cases of interest which invite as it is been said to redirect, with some common legal criteria, the appearance of a whole sort of fires without not limiting their treatment to their etiology or to the private, administrative or criminal effects of them.
