Full textHundar är en av de mest spridda karnivorerna och det tredje mest invasiva däggdjuret, efter katter och gnagare. Gatuhundar påverkar vilda djur negativt genom predation, störning, spridning av sjukdomar, konkurrens och hybridisering med andra vilda hunddjur. Även i urbana miljöer har gatuhundar en negativ påverkan, genom störning, förorening, trafikolyckor, bett och sjukdomsrisk. Serbien är ett av många länder i Balkanregionen som har för stora populationer av gatuhundar. I detta arbete undersöks populationsdynamiken hos gatuhundar i Bor, Serbien och diskuterar olika metoder för att hantera gatuhundpopulationen. Totalt inventerades 361 gatuhundar, 111 hanar, 85 honor och 165 med obestämt kön. 55 hundar (15.23%) uppskattades vara äldre än 7 år, 262 hundar (72.57%) uppskattades vara mellan 3-7 år, 30 hundar (8.31%) uppskattades vara mellan 6-24 månader gamla och 14 hundar (3.87) uppskattades vara mellan 0-6 månader gamla. Inga hundar visade tecken på rabies eller CDV (canine distemper virus) och 241 gatuhundar (66.75%) föreföll friska. Däremot visade 120 hundar (33.25%) någon typ av nedsatt hälsa. För att uppnå ett stopp i populationsökningen krävs minst 70% steriliseringstakt samt att man lär ut ansvarsfullt hundägande. Gatuhundarna visade olika reaktioner mot människor, 164 hundar (45.42%) var neutrala och 100 hundar (27.70%) visade ingen rädsla eller aggression för människor och interagerade gärna. Eftersom gatuhundarna är lättillgängliga, skulle de kunna ingå i populationshanteringar som TNR (trap-neuter-release) och hanhundar bör prioriteras med tanke på deras spridningsmönster.

Full textThe ProMAC emerged within the University of São Paulo in response to a community demand, to address environmental problems, including the presence of stray dogs in its campus. This study aimed to address this program regarding the dynamics and health of the population of stray dogs in the campus and the dogs kept in the campus shelter. Using the technique of photographic mark and recapture, the dog population was estimated in nine occasions in a two years period. In the second year the docile dogs were individually identified and, on four occasions, had biological samples collected (blood, feces and ectoparasites). Dogs housed in the shelter were identified and biological samples were collected in a single effort over three months. The population estimates varied between 14 and 55 dogs, with a non-significant decrease trend over time. The population was mostly composed of males (58.4%), adults (77.8%) and docile individuals (55.7%). The stray population showed changes in hematological parameters throughout the year, consistent with subclinical infection, possibly caused by Hepatozoon canis, which had a significant increase in its prevalence. All dogs were negative for Leishmania sp., Rickettsia sp., Ehrlichia sp. There was no significant difference between either the MAT (Leptospira sp, between 14 and 50% -. campus and 52.4% - shelter) or the elimination of Ancylostoma sp. eggs in feces (between 21 and 55% - campus and 27% - shelter), between dogs from campus and shelter, and the risk of infection in the university community was considered low. Environmental analysis established that the stray dogs main food source are the human food given to them close to food selling points, which is a concern given that more than half of these dogs are positive for Toxoplasma sp. (from 54 to 60%) and would be risk indicators to humans. The aversive stray dogspopulation showed reproductive signs (8.7% of females per year), but the puppies were not found possibly due to low survival rate. Adults, both from docile and the aversive population, had good body condition, low mortality and the docile dogs left the campus more often due to adoption. The data indicated that the health of dogs housed in the shelter were similar to the stray population, and the welfare of the latter is higher due to the precarious condition that the shelter was maintained and the number of dogs kept being over the maximum capacity. As stray dogs were distributed and maintained by the food and shelter supplied by the campus users, the proper management of these dogs would include community involvement and responsibility. The reproduction of aversive dogs must be eliminated, seeking alternative methods, because of the difficulty of catching these dogs. Use of research forest area by these dogs poses a risk to the university community.

Full textOs animais errantes resultam em problemas de saúde pública, segurança e bem-estar animal, com impactos socioeconómicos relevantes. A natureza e extensão deste problema são notoriamente difíceis de caracterizar. O presente estudo tem por objetivo caracterizar a população de animais errantes e as medidas preventivas e de controlo adotadas pelos Centros de Recolha Oficial na área da Grande Lisboa, em 2011. A fim de atingir o objetivo pretendido, fez-se uma análise comparativa entre a gestão de animais errantes no Centro Oficial de Recolha Animal do Concelho de Odivelas e nos outros Centros de Recolha Oficial da Grande Lisboa, que incluem os municípios da Amadora, Sintra, Oeiras, Cascais, Mafra, Loures, Lisboa e Vila Franca de Xira. A recolha dos dados foi, em Odivelas, realizada com o recurso à base de dados do centro de recolha, e com recurso a questionários aos Médicos Veterinários Municipais responsáveis pelos outros Centros de Recolha Oficial. Estes contemplaram questões relevantes no âmbito desta problemática. Foram recolhidos em 2011 pelos centros da Grande Lisboa um total de 7805 animais das espécies canina (60,6%; 4735) e felina (39,4%; 3080). Do total de canídeos recolhidos, foram entregues diretamente nas instituições, um total de 2145 animais, sendo a principal causa de entrega a situação socioeconómica dos seus detentores. A adoção foi o principal destino dos canídeos alojados, quer no centro do município de Odivelas (67,2%), quer nos outros municípios (49,8%). As diferenças observadas são estatisticamente significativas (p <0,05). O principal destino dos gatos recolhidos em 2011 foi a eutanásia (39,2%). Foram sujeitos ao Programa de Captura, Esterilização e Recolocação 33,7% dos gatos recolhidos nos centros onde esta medida se encontra implementada. Não existe uma solução única para a problemática dos cães e gatos errantes, mas os meios utilizados devem justificar o fim – a salvaguarda da saúde pública e do bem-estar animal. Considera-se que os esforços no âmbito do controlo de animais errantes devem recair, essencialmente, em iniciativas que visem a sua prevenção devendo ser focados dois pontos essenciais: a educação e o controlo reprodutivo.
ABSTRACT - Stray Dogs and Cats Control in the Metropolitan area of Lisbon - Stray animals cause several problems related to public health, safety and animal welfare. The dimension of this problem is very hard to characterize. The present study aimed to analyze and characterize the stray animals population, as well as control and preventive measures used in official shelters in metropolitan area of Lisbon, in 2011. To achieve the main goal in this study a comparative analysis was made between the official shelter in Odivelas and the other official shelters of the metropolitan area of Lisbon towards the different stray animals measures which are used. The other official shelters of the metropolitan area of Lisbon include: Amadora, Sintra, Oeiras, Cascais, Mafra, Loures, Lisboa and Vila Franca de Xira. In Odivelas, the data was gathered using the database of the official shelter and in the other official shelters of the metropolitan area of Lisbon the data was obtained by doing questionnaires to Municipal Veterinarians. These questionnaires were composed with essential questions related to the stray animals problem. In 2011, in official shelters of the metropolitan area of Lisbon were collected a total of 7805 animals both dogs (60.6%; 4735) and cats (39.4%; 3080). From the total of dogs collected, 2145 animals were delivered in official shelters and the main cause referred were the social and economic situation of the owners. Adoption was the main destiny of the dogs both in official shelter of Odivelas (67.2%) and in the other official shelters of the metropolitan area of Lisbon (49.8%). The differences are statistically significant (p<0.05). Only 33.7% of the overall number of cats collected were included in Trap-Neuter-Reuter programs, in the official shelters where this measure is implemented. There is not just one solution to the stray animals problem, however all the measures should achieve the same goal – to guarantee good levels of Public Health and Animal Welfare. It is recommended that all the efforts to solve the stray animals problem must be tied up with activities about prevention of the dogs and cats abandon. This prevention is based on two basic principles: education and reproductive control.

Full textThe stray dog\'s population of has been a problem in modern society and raises discussion on different issues like animal welfare, environmental responsibility and public health matters such as dogs bites, zoonosis and traffic accidents. Sao Paulo is a city with over ten million inhabitants and a population of owned dogs around 2.5 million animals. There are no surveys on the distribution of the population of stray dogs and this hampers any plan of intervention. The problem was accessed from the standpoint of relinquishment probability and environmental carrying capacity. A score was created with thirteen variables, of known risk factors of relinquishment. The data was grouped by district and classified in to three categories (terciles). a convenience sample of six areas was defined, two in each category, which were small and isolated, liable to go through on foot. The number of animals was estimated by the pseudo capture method, using photos and notes to identify the animals. Simultaneously, a questionnaire was administered in a systematic random sample of households in each area. Of the six areas visited, in only two it the presence of stray dogs was observed and only one showing a fixed stray population. Of the factors associated to the presence of stray dogs, one can distinguish: degree of human-dog proximity and those related to environment. Intervention on these factors and encouraging responsible ownership could be a solution to gradually reduce the population of stray dogs.

Full textOs animais errantes são uma população particularmente importante em medicina veterinária, permitindo a manutenção dos agentes no biótopo e a dispersão para áreas não endémicas. Esta população tem vindo a aumentar, por todo o mundo, sendo fácil o seu contacto, quer directo quer indirecto com o Homem. Este trabalho foi elaborado com a intenção de pesquisar parasitas de vários órgãos, sistemas e localizações, na população de cães errantes do concelho de Vila Franca de Xira, Portugal, utilizando várias técnicas de diagnóstico. Relativamente a parasitas do sistema macrofágico fagocítico e de células do sangue, este estudo detetou uma seroprevalência de 28,75% (23/80) de Leishmania infantum, 57,5% (46/80) de Babesia canis/B. vogeli/B.rossi, 34% (28/80) de Anaplasma phagocytophilum, 34% (29/80) de Ehrlichia canis e 76,2% (61/80) de Rickettsia conorii. No entanto, não foram detetados hemoparasitas através de esfregaços sanguíneos. No que se refere a parasitas dos aparelhos cardiovascular, respiratório e serosas, foi detetada, pelo teste Speed Diro uma prevalência de 12,2% (10/80) de Dirofilaria immitis e, por pesquisa de microfilárias pela técnica de Knott, foram observadas prevalências de 10% de D. immitis (8/80) e 11,25% (9/80) de Acanthocheilonema reconditum. Pela técnica de Baermann não foram detetadas larvas de Angiostrongylus vasorum. Os parasitas intestinais identificados pela técnica de Willis foram: Toxocara canis (15%), Strongyloides stercoralis (7,5%), Ancylostoma caninum (15%), Uncinaria stenocephala (16,25%), Trichuris vulpis (11,25%), Taenia spp. (10%). Pela técnica de Ziehl-Neelsen, foram observados quistos de Giardia spp. (32,5%) e oocistos de Cryptosporidium spp. (11,25%). Foram ainda, identificados proglotes de Dipylidium caninum nas fezes de 3,75% dos animais. Relativamente a ectoparasitas, foram observados ácaros, ixodídeos e pulgas, sendo: 30% (6/20) de Sarcoptes scabiei e 10% (2/20) de Demodex canis, apenas em animais suspeitos e, 23,75% (19/80) de Rhipicephalus sanguineus e 10% (8/80) de Ctenocephalides felis. Não foram observados ácaros pelas técnicas de colheita de cerúmen auricular e escovagem do pêlo. Foram ainda avaliadas co-infeções parasitárias e analisados diversos fatores que podem influenciar as prevalências obtidas para os diferentes agentes. A importância do estado sanitário da população canina errante no que se refere à Saúde Pública e à Saúde Animal foi salientada.
Stray animals are a population particularly important in veterinary medicine, enabling retention of agents in the biotope and dispersal to non-endemic areas. This population has been increasing throughout the world, with its easy contact, both directly and indirectly with the man. This work was done with the goal of searching parasites in various organs, systems and locations in stray dog population from the municipality of Vila Franca de Xira, Portugal, using several diagnostic techniques. For parasites of macrophage phagocytic system and blood cell the study detected seroprevalence of 28.75% (23/80) for Leishmania infantum, 57.5% (46/80) for Babesia canis / B. vogeli / B.rossi, 34% (28/80) for Anaplasma phagocytophilum, 34% (29/80) forEhrlichia canis and 76.2% (61/80) for Rickettsia conorii. However, no hemoparasites were detected by blood smears. With regard to parasites of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, was detected at Speed Diro test, a 12.2% (10/80) prevalence of Dirofilaria immitis and by screening the Knott technique, a prevalence of 10% (8/80) microfilariae D. immitis were observed and 11.25% (9/80) Acanthocheilonema reconditum microfilariae. By Baermann technique, Angiostrongylus vasorum larvae were not detected. Intestinal parasites identified by the technique of Willis were: Toxocara canis (15%), Strongyloides stercoralis (7.5%), Ancylostoma caninum (15%), Uncinaria stenocephala (16.25%), Trichuris vulpis (11.25%), Taenia spp. (10%). By Ziehl-Neelsen, cysts of Giardia spp. (32.5%) and Cryptosporidium spp. (11.25%) were observed. Dipylidium caninum proglottids were also identified in 3.75% of the animals feces. For ectoparasites, mites, ticks and fleas were observed: 30% (6/20) of Sarcoptes scabiei and 10% (2/20) of Demodex canis only in susceptible animals and 23.75% (19/80) of Rhipicephalus sanguineus and 10% (8/80) of Ctenocephalides felis. No mites were observed by harvesting techniques of earwax and brushing. Parasitic co-infections were further evaluated and various factors were analized that may influence the prevalence rates for different agents. The importance of canine population status regarding Human and Animal Health was emphasized.

A completely randomized block design was used, with four replications, in the split-plot design. Treatments consisted on the application of increasing rates of lime on the soil surface: 0; 1; 2,3; 3,4; 4,5 Mg h&', respectively, 36, 50, 65, 80 and 95% of the saturation of bases. On each plot, BrizantAo straw was entirely removed from one of the subplots. Removal was done twice and totalized 2.236 Kg ha'. Soybean (CO-201) was sowed iii order to reach a stand of 440.000 plants ha' (22 seeds m'). Leaves were collected on flowering stage for tissue analysis, beeing determined the macro and micronutnents concentrations. Before harvest, 12 plants were coliected on each plot for determining: plant height; percentage of failled poda; number of grains per pod; number of pods per plant; and mass of 100 grains. Soil samples were coilected three months after harvest to represent the following sou layers: 0-5; 5-10; 10-20; and 20-40 cm. Results showed that superficial liming mcreased pil value, exchangeable calcium and the saturation of bases untifi 40 em depth, with more pronounced effect on the first lO cm.

Full textIn southern Brazil the dominant agricultural model is the no-tillage system (SPD), with the predominant use of cool season grasses, especially oats. This species while being a great producer of biomass, has less potential for providing nitrogen for the following crop through recycling. Thus, the use of cover crops as summer legumes can fix nitrogen (N) in the absence of additional atmospheric nitrogen can be an effective strategy for local production system, because they occupy the ground and having idle period biomass production well above the grasses of winter. The present study aims to assess the effects of summer legumes grown in no-tillage in the off-season period with or without nitrogen complementation the agronomic parameters and yield of corn. The work was conducted in the years 2012 and 2013 in the experimental field of UTFPR Campus Dois Vizinhos in experimental design of randomized blocks in a factorial with three replications. In the main plots of 5 m x 10 m systems plant ground cover (factor A) and the split plots of 5 m x 5 m were established, factor B has been reported regarding the use of chemical nitrogen fertilizer. The main experiment consisted of seven systems plant summer cover Crotalária juncea (Crotalária juncea L.), Crotalária spectabilis (Crotalária spectabilis), Feijão de porco (Ensiformes canavalia), Guandu anão (Cajanus cajans L.), Lab lab (Dolichos lablab), Mucuna anã (Mucuna deeringiana), Mucuna preta (Mucuna aterrima) and maintained a system without the cover crop (fallow), associating these complementation of mineral N for corn (use of 180 kg ha-1 N as urea and absence). Reviews the development, production, decomposition and N by dry matter (MS) cover crops were conducted. In corn, the agronomic characteristics, the levels of N in biomass and leaf flag, and also grain yield were evaluated. In the 2012/2013 harvest mucuna preta and feijão de porco promoted a higher rate of ground cover at 30 DAS (57 and 56 % respectively). In both years the feijão de porco had the highest MS production and higher accumulation of N in MS. The higher rate of waste decomposition occurred with the use of feijão de porco and lab lab. The lowest rate of decomposition was observed in crotalária juncea and guandu anão. The use of legumes did not affect the stem diameter and plant height of maize. The feijão de porco, crotalária juncea and mucuna preta in the 2012/2013 harvest and lab lab in the 2013/2014 harvest , without the use of mineral N resulted in higher grain yield of corn the average of treatments with the addition of 180 kg ha-1 N.

Full textThinking the aging society in which we live is still surrounded by stereotypes and prejudices, which tend to emphasize the perspective of those who experience this stage of human existence in the universe of Long-Stay Institutions for the Elderly - LSIEs. These institutions - also known as Homes, Nursing Homes, Geriatric Clinic and many other names that the literature called -, worked for many years as "total institutions", a concept formulated by Goffman (1974) to refer to areas that serve as a residence and work, where a large number of individuals with similar situation, separated from the broader society, lead a closed life and formally administered. With the studies and discussions implemented by gerontological researchers in the field, we have seen an effort to move beyond this type of institution, proof of the new nomenclature used to refer to this type of institution. Apparently, this change allowed a development, if only in form, as the content still needs to change. Furthermore, it is necessary to understand how this structure affects the relationship between individuals who interact there are elderly people living there, there are the professionals who perform their duties. It should be noted that the relations established between them occur through the tasks of care and how it is constructed and perceived by different peers. This is the space in which we change our study, in order to understand what the representations that the elderly and their caregivers have on the care and processes and knowledge involved in this installation, especially in LSIEs the city of Passo Fundo / RS. For the study observations were made in the eleven institutions in the city from a tour of observation and were interviewed elderly and caregivers belonging to them. Based on observations and interviews were developed five categories of analysis, which served as the basis for final comments and suggestions made at the end of the thread.

Este estudo discute a vida de idosos em uma instituição de longa permanência, no contexto da sociedade moderna. O asilo é uma possível alternativa para garantir segurança e cuidado ao idoso. No entanto, esse espaço, que abriga a velhice, torna-se um problema social e de saúde, à medida que se transforma em lugar de segregação, estigma e preconceitos, emergindo situações que facilitam a ocorrência de violências contra o idoso. Vários aspectos vão se agregando para a construção da ambigüidade presente na função social do asilo. Dentre eles, o preconceito histórico sobre viver nesse tipo de instituição permanece, apesar dela procurar acompanhar as mudanças sociais. Analisando as diferenças de gênero, condição social e gerações os objetivos do estudo foram: identificar as razões que levaram os idosos a viver no asilo, observando os laços sociais feitos e desfeitos ao longo do curso da vida; analisar as relações e cuidados dispensados aos idosos pelos profissionais da instituição; discutir sobre as relações interpessoais, com foco nas disputas e competições entre eles no cotidiano e identificar as expressões de violência presentes na vida dos idosos. Para tanto, nos apoiamos em teorias sociais, explorando o conceito de ambigüidade, que pode ser compreendido tanto em relação à instituição asilar quanto ao significado da velhice na sociedade moderna. Para analisar o corpus do estudo usamos a análise de conteúdo além de instrumentos de avaliação em saúde coletiva da estrutura familiar (familiograma) e das relações interpessoais dos idosos entrevistados (ecomapa). Os resultados apontaram que o asilo estudado permanece, ainda hoje, com o discurso da caridade e que a opção de os idosos morarem na instituição foi, em alguns casos deles próprios apesar de que por trás dessa opção encontram-se conflitos e desentendimentos familiares. A convivência entre os idosos é marcada por encontros e desencontros, brigas e casos de agressões físicas, configurando situações de violência nas relações interpessoais. Além disso, constatamos que o cuidado prestado ao idoso na instituição destacou-se como importante vertente para observarmos a presença (ou não) da violência contra idosos. Assim, o asilo pode ser uma alternativa de vida para idosos na sociedade atual, mas que, fundamentando-se apenas na caridade e na filantropia, não garante ao idoso viver uma velhice saudável.

Full textOs pacientes internados no hospital com um prolongamento da alta hospitalar por razões não clínicas têm sido um tema importante no contexto da sustentabilidade dos sistemas nacionais de saúde. Na primeira parte é apresentada uma revisão da literatura na definição e perfil internacional destes pacientes. A segunda parte explora a situação portuguesa utilizando dados de 2015 referentes a meio milhão de pacientes em Portugal Continental. A terceira parte consiste na estimação de um modelo da Binomial Negativa para identificar as diferenças no tempo de internamento entre um paciente Caso Social e um Não Social. Da revisão da literatura realizada, constata-se que não existe uma definição única universal de Casos Sociais. Estes pacientes representam uma população de idade avançada, com diversas comorbilidades, apresentando estado de fragilidade e dependência, muitas vezes vivendo sozinhos ou em instituições residenciais. O prolongamento de alta destes pacientes está associado a fatores organizativos, socioeconómicos e clínicos. O perfil do Caso Social português é semelhante ao perfil internacional. Estima-se que a nível nacional correspondam a 3% dos pacientes internados. Em 2015, 50% destes pacientes concentra-se em Lisboa e as principais causas associadas prendem-se a falta de cuidador informal e o facto de o paciente viver sozinho. Os resultados do modelo confirmam que os Casos Sociais tendem a ter um tempo de internamento superior aos casos não sociais, mas a diferença é reduzida. Pode ser de interesse uma análise mais detalhada para pacientes outliers com mais de 30 dias de internamento onde a incidência de Casos Sociais é maior.
Hospital patients with a prolonged length of stay due to non-medical reasons have become a important topic of discussion in the context of sustainability of national health systems. The first part of this paper provides an extensive literature review on the definitions and international profile of these patients. The second part explores the Portuguese situation using 2015 data of half a million inpatients in mainland Portugal. The third part consists in the estimation of a binomial negative model to identify the differences in length of stay between Social Cases and a Non-Social cases. Given the existing literature, there is no unique and universal definition for these patients. Social cases tend to represent an older population, with several comorbidities, in a frail and dependent state, oftentimes living alone or in nursing homes. Their extended length of stay is mainly associated with organizational, clinical and socio-economic factors. Social cases in Portugal have a profile similar to their international counterparts and represent 3% of total inpatients in public hospitals. In 2015, 50% of them are concentrated in Lisbon area and the main causes for being considered social cases is lack of a caregiver and living alone. The model confirms that social case patients tend to have a longer length of stay compared to non-social cases, but the difference tends to be small. It could be of interest to conduct a more detailed analysis on outlier patients with more than 30 days of bed, where the incidence of social cases is more significant.

Full textMaize is one of the most important agricultural activities in Brazil. The country is the third largest world producer and the yield rose from 1800 kg ha-1 to 3000 kg ha-1 in the last 15 years. The grain yield and drought tolerance are complex traits, difficult to select. A possibility to increase the efficiency of breeding programs that aims to improve the grain yield and drought tolerance would be through indirect selection for traits related to them as the stay-green and yield components. The aim of this work was to study the characters stay-green, yield and its components in maize in order to gather information on the inheritance of these characters. For this purpose it was used a population obtained by crossing the lines L-14-04 B and L-08-05 F, contrasting to several traits. Progenies F2:3 from this cross were derived from backcrosses to the parental lines forming two sets of backcross progeny with 250 each. These progenies were evaluated in up to six environments according to the simple lattice design 10x10 for grain yield (PG), and their components: ear length (CE), ear diameter (DE), number of rows per ear (NFI), number of grains per row (NGF), weight of 500 grains (P500) and the drought tolerance related trait stay-green (SG). A linkage map obtained with 177 SSR markers were used to map QTL for these traits in each backcross population through the methodology of composite interval mapping expanded to multiple environments (mCIM). The additive and dominance genetic effects for each mapped QTL were obtained by means of contrasts between effects of QTL mapped in the two backcross populations. Two hundred seventeen QTL were mapped for seven traits evaluated, some of these are of mayor effect, stable through the various environments and co-located with QTL for other characteristics, what make them good candidates for molecular marker assisted selection. The large number of QTL mapped in this study confirms not only the complexity of these characters but also the detection power of the mapping method (mCIM) and of the design used in this study (design III).

Apesar dos cuidados aos idosos serem vistos como uma carreira de baixo estatuto e ainda persistir muito preconceito em relação à pessoa idosa, tem-se verificado que os enfermeiros que exercem funções nas ERI são altamente comprometidos com o seu trabalho, descrevendo a sua prática de enfermagem com um sentimento de orgulho e realização profissional. Nesse âmbito, este estudo pretendeu averiguar se os enfermeiros portugueses a exercer funções nas ERI percebiam a sua ocupação profissional como um chamamento, se tinham intenção de permanência nos cuidados aos idosos e qual a relação entre estas variáveis. Verificou-se que a maioria dos enfermeiros via a sua ocupação profissional como um chamamento e não tinha intenção de permanência na função. No entanto, ao confirmar a relação entre as variáveis, concluiu-se que, dos enfermeiros que tinham chamamento, a maioria tinha intenção de permanência na função de cuidados aos idosos, sendo principalmente profissionais mais velhos e com mais experiência. Estas conclusões podem ser um contributo valioso na gestão e retenção de recursos humanos.
With the Portuguese population getting gradually older, there is increased need for Nursing Homes more endowed with physical resources, supplies and skilled professionals ready to answer to the specificities and instabilities of it. Despite the carefulness for the elderly being seen as a low-status career and although there is still a lot of prejudice against the elderly, it was found that nurses who had functions in the Nursing Homes were highly committed to their work, describing their nursing practice with a sense of professional pride and professional achievement. In that context, this study intended to verify whether Portuguese nurses serving the Nursing Homes perceived their occupation as a calling, if they had any intention to stay in the care of the elder and what was the relation between these two variables. It was found that most nurses saw this occupation as a calling and had no intention to remain in the function. However, while confirming the relationship between the two variables, it was determined that, from the nurses who had calling, most intended to stay on the function, being mostly older professionals and with more years of experience. These conclusions can be a valuable contribution to the management and retention of human resources

Abstract : This study was carried out on a Red Distrofernc Latossol (Oxisol) to examine the effect of superficial liming and "Brizantão" (Brachiaria brizantha) straw on some soil fertility parameters (pH(cacl2), H+Al, AI, P,, Ca, Mg, K, CEC, saturation of bases, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn and B) and on soybean nutrition and yield. A completely randomized block design was used, with four replications, in the split-plot design. Treatments consisted on the application of increasing rates of lime on the soil surface: 0; 1; 2,3; 3,4; 4,5 Mg h&', respectively, 36, 50, 65, 80 and 95% of the saturation of bases. On each plot, "BrizantAo" straw was entirely removed from one of the subplots. Removal was done twice and totalized 2.236 Kg ha'. Soybean (CO-201) was sowed iii order to reach a stand of 440.000 plants ha' (22 seeds m'). Leaves were collected on flowering stage for tissue analysis, beeing determined the macro and micronutnents concentrations. Before harvest, 12 plants were coliected on each plot for determining: plant height; percentage of failled poda; number of grains per pod; number of pods per plant; and mass of 100 grains.

Full textTo achieve high yields the corn crop is dependent on nitrogen. Systems of cover crops preceding corn and form of land cultivation are essential for the best use of nitrogen by corn. This study aimed to evaluate the use or not of nitrogen fertilization in corn in succession to cover crops, planted in three cropping systems. The experimental design was randomized blocks with sub-divided portion where the main plots consisted of three cultivation systems (tillage, conventional tillage and minimum tillage), the subplots by four plant cover in monocrop (oat, hairy vetch, field peas and turnip) and sub-subplots by nitrogen fertilization (0 and 160 kg ha-1 N). Evaluations were performed, the cover crops, soil cover rate, dry matter, content and accumulation of nutrients. In corn we evaluated yield components, yield, chlorophyll and nutrient levels in leaves. Among the species coverage studied the oat showed hardiness in the experiment, covering ground faster and showing more dry matter, however vetch hairy showed higher concentrations of N, P and K and higher accumulation of N ha-1. The soil tillage system influenced the K leaf content. The interaction cultivation x coverage showed significance for the total chlorophyll of corn. In the absence of N, N content and chlorophyll were higher where the corn was sown on the pea and hairy vetch. The corn production, despite a higher average in the presence of nitrogen fertilization, did not differ significantly when used the pea and hairy vetch as a cover crop.

Full textO sistema plantio direto é o modelo predominante no cenário agrícola da região Sul do país. Assim, a utilização de plantas de cobertura é relevante em função do aporte de fitomassa, para proteção do solo em superfície e contribuição na ciclagem e/ou fixação de nutrientes, em especial o nitrogênio (N), com liberação para a cultura subsequente. Dentre as espécies hibernais, é constatado uso predominante da aveia para obtenção de palha no sistema. Embora aporte elevadas quantidades de resíduos, não é a espécie preferencial para anteceder o cultivo de milho, cereal de expressiva importância na região Sudoeste do Paraná. Objetivou-se avaliar a capacidade produtiva do milho em plantio direto, na ausência ou presença de adubação nitrogenada em cobertura, sobre resíduos de plantas de cobertura hibernais nas condições edafoclimáticas da região Sudoeste do Paraná. A instalação do plantio direto foi realizada em 2010 na área experimental pertencente à UTFPR, Câmpus Dois Vizinhos, sob Latossolo Vermelho. Para o presente estudo, foram utilizados dados referentes a três safras agrícolas (2012/2013; 2013/2014 e 2014/2015). O delineamento experimental foi de blocos ao acaso, em parcelas subdivididas, com três repetições. As parcelas principais foram constituídas por plantas de cobertura (aveia preta, azevém, centeio, nabo forrageiro, ervilhaca comum, tremoço branco, consórcio Aveia+Ervilhaca e Aveia+Ervilhaca+Nabo), que antecederam a cultura do milho. Nas subparcelas, foram utilizadas duas doses de adubação nitrogenada (0 e 180 kg ha cobertura na cultura do milho. As maiores taxas de cobertura ocorreram nos consórcios, com 95% aos 62 dias após a semeadura das espécies. O efeito residual da dose 180 kg ha incrementou 4,8% a taxa de cobertura das plantas hibernais no ano seguinte. O efeito residual dos 180 kg ha poáceas. A ervilhaca comum acumulou 32 kg de N para cada tonelada de matéria seca (MS) adicionada. A aveia preta e o centeio mantem mais de 50% dos resíduos em cobertura do solo, após 120 dias, enquanto o azevém e ervilhaca comum proporcionam baixa proteção. Consórcio Aveia+Ervilhaca+Nabo, ervilhaca comum e tremoço branco, liberaram as maiores quantidades de N, entre 52 e 59 kg ha diâmetro e comprimento de espigas, número de grãos por fileira e número total de grãos por espiga de milho, sob ausência de N mineral. A massa de mil grãos é aumentada em 12,4% pela adição de 180 kg ha de 180 kg ha fabáceas, brássica e consórcio Aveia+Ervilhaca+Nabo, e de 5,6 Mg ha a poáceas. Os consórcios aportaram quantidade entre 4,0 a 6,4 Mg ha estudo. Não há efeito da aplicação de N mineral para os componentes de rendimento do milho, quando cultivado sobre ervilhaca comum.

The no-tillage system is the predominant model in the agricultural scenario of southern Brazil. Thus, the use of cover crops is significant due to the addition of biomass to protect the soil surface, and contribute to the cycling and/or fixing of nutrients, and in particular nitrogen (N) with liberation for the subsequent culture. Among the cool season species, it was found predominant use of oat to obtain straw to system. Though large quantities input of residue is not the preferred species to precede the corn, cereal with relevant importance in the Paraná Southwest region. It was aimed to evaluate the productivity capacity of corn in no-tillage, in the absence or presence of nitrogen fertilization, on waste of winter cover crops on soil and climatic conditions of the Paraná Southwest region. The installation of no-tillage was held in 2010 in the experimental area belonging to UTFPR, Campus Dois Vizinhos, on a Red Latosol. For the present study, we used data relating to three agricultural years (2012/2013, 2013/2014 and 2014/2015). The experimental design was randomized block design with split plots with three replications. The main plots consisted of systems composed by cover crops (black oat, ryegrass, rye, turnip, vetch, white lupine, aot+vetch consortium and oat+vetch+turnip), preceding corn. In the subplots were used two doses of nitrogen fertilization (0 and 180 kg ha N) coverage in maize.The biggest coverage rates occurred in the consortium with 95% at 62 days after sowing. The residual effect of 180 kg ha cool season plants following year. The residual effect of 180 kg ha systems, reduced in 21% the C/N ratio of poaceae. The common vetch accumulated 32 kg N per ton of MS added. The oat and rye keeps more than 50% waste to the land cover, after 120 days, while the ryegrass and vetch provide low soil protection. Consortium oat+vetch+turnip, vetch and white lupine, released the largest amounts of N, between 52 and 59 kg ha brassica and consortia positively influencing the diameter and length of cobs, number of kernels per row and, total number of grains per ear of corn, in the absence of mineral N.

Full textThere is a common sense that ryegrass areas should be dissected 25 to 30 days prior corn crop sowing, otherwise, the cash crop yield might be impaired. However, in crop-livestock systems, this situation may be different. Moreover, 30 days less of grazing means a considerable financial loss to the farmer. Thus, it is important to study this possible effect within the production systems as well as its relationship with other factors such as corn nitrogen fertilization, the use or not of hairy vetch with ryegrass. Four experiments were carried out at Renascença – PR from April 2013 to April 2014: ryegrass under grazing and ungrazed; ryegrass intercropped with vetch grazed and ungrazed. The four experiments had the same treatments: time intervals between desiccation of winter pastures and corn sowing with or without nitrogen fertilization. The experiments were laid out as a randomized block design with a split plot scheme and four replications. Factor A were established at the main plot using three periods of winter ryegrass desiccation: 0, 15 and 30 days before corn sowing. At the subplots, two levels of nitrogen fertilizer were applied in in sidedress on corn: 0 and 150 kg N ha-1, using urea. The variables were assessed in relation to: the cool season forages; the soil at sowing time; of plantability, vegetative components, yield and grain yield of maize. The results showed that when used as a cover crop, the winter forage, negatively affected the plantability and corn yield when desiccated at the time of corn sowing. It is recommended to wait at least 15 days after desiccation of the winter forage with high amount of biomass to undertake corn sowing. When used for grazing, the winter forage, although negatively affect the plantability, the desiccation periods did not affect corn yield. In well managed pastures, there is no need to wait a few days between desiccation and corn sowing. The act of including a legume in the forage composition did not increase corn yield. When high doses (200 kg N ha-1) of nitrogen fertilizer is applied on winter cover crop, there is no need to apply N on corn, cultivated in sequence. Regarding to the conjunct analysis of corn yield, ryegrass and ryegrass plus vetch grazing treatments without nitrogen sidedress on corn showed the best results.

Full textThe increasing advancement of agriculture makes providing adequate conditions for the growth and development of plants is the primary purpose of soil management systems. Much of the success of PD is attributed to cultural remains left by cover crops that do not require high nitrogen inputs and can thus be used to reduce nitrogen input in the agro- ecosystem. The nitrogen is one of the elements applied in agriculture, it is absorbed in higher quantities and limiting the yield of grain crops such as corn. Thus, there has been the influence of the no-till and conventional tillage combined with different crops of winter cover and bare soil when in succession to corn, on mineral nitrogen content. The experimental work was made at the experimental station of the Agronomic Institute of Paraná - Iapar. The implemented design was blocks at random split plot with three replications in factorial 6 x 2 x 3 x 5. The main plots were as treatment, beyond the bare soil, 5 winter species (ryegrass, vetch, vetch + oat, oat and radish), while in the subplots were used two tillage systems (No-till and conventional tillage). Three collections made were (before management, the urea before and after the urea), these being held in 5 depths (0-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-40 and 40-60 cm). So a layer 0-5 cm and a que presents increased amount to NH4 + ion. The use of associated PD system in the presence of winter cover crops decreased as NO3 - losses in soil profile.

Este trabalho se constitui numa investigação sobre o abandono e as estratégias desenvolvidas para permanência dos educandos no processo de escolarização no primeiro Segmento de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (SEJA I) do município de Salvador, questionando: as estratégias contribuem para a permanência dos jovens e adultos na escola? O referencial teórico toma como ponto de partida o estado da arte das pesquisas em torno do debate sobre os condicionantes e as múltiplas determinações do abandono na perspectiva do fracasso escolar e da exclusão, fazendo um breve contraponto com a perspectiva aqui denominada histórico crítica. Como alternativa metodológica, optou-se por articular uma abordagem quanti-quali, partindo das informações do fluxo escolar no ano de 2009, utilizando o SPSS para realização do tratamento e análise dos dados, conjugado com entrevista realizada no grupo focal formado por educandos do SEJA I que abandonaram ou que permaneceram nos semestres letivos de 2009. Constataram-se na investigação, no que se refere às políticas públicas para EJA, quando existe algum tipo de ação que vise garantir a permanência no sistema escolar para efetivação da aprendizagem, elas permanecem nos limites da perspectiva compensatória e subjetiva. A investigação mostra que, além de escassas e limitadas às iniciativas da unidade escolar, as estratégias convergem e refletem ações que supõem as causas do fenômeno as motivações e a questões pessoais. Do mesmo modo, os educandos trazem uma percepção do abandono e da permanência restrita a atributos pessoais e mais imediatos, dissociados da estrutura desigual do sistema social e econômico. Almeja-se com esta investigação contribuir para avaliação da Política de Educação de Jovens e Adultos, bem como instigar para o debate conjunto entre órgãos públicos sobre as ações articuladas que visem à permanência dos educandos no processo de escolarização dos jovens, adultos e idosos que procuram a Rede Municipal de Educação.
ABSTRACT This work is an investigation into the abandonment and the strategies developed for the maintenance of students in the schooling process in the first segment of Youth and Adults (SEJA I) the city of Salvador, questioning: strategies help to stay young and adults at school? The theoretical framework takes as its starting point the state of the art research in the debate about the conditions and the multiple determinants of dropout from the perspective of school failure and exclusion, making a brief counterpoint to the historical perspective here called critical. As an alternative methodology, we chose to articulate a quali-quantitative approach, based on the information flow from school in 2009, using SPSS to perform the processing and analysis of data, in conjunction with interview in the focus group formed by students of BE I who abandoned or who stayed in academic semesters of 2009. They found themselves in research, with regard to public policies for adult education, when there is some kind of action that seeks to ensure continuity in the school system for effective learning, they remain within the limits of compensatory and subjective perspective. Research shows that in addition to scarce and limited to initiatives of the school unit, strategies converge and reflect actions that assume the causes of the motivations and personal issues. Similarly, the students bring a sense of abandonment and stay confined to more immediate and personal attributes, separated from the structure of unequal social and economic system. Program hopes to contribute to this research to evaluate the Education Policy Youth and Adults as well as to instigate the whole debate between public agencies on joint actions aimed at the residence of students in the process of education of the youth, adults and seniors seeking the Municipal Education.

The aging population and individual have been the subject of a multitude of studies nowadays. This is probably due to the impact of this phenomenon in various sectors of society, like social security, social assistance and public health. The process of aging of the individual imply the demand for specific services, considering the limitations and vulnerabilities of the individual at that stage of life cycle. The growth of the elderly contingent in the last decades raises challenges for policymakers, the family and also for the society at large. In this scenario, long-stay institutions for the elderly (LSIEs) appear as an option to aid and support the elderly and their family, assisting in all or part in the activities of daily living and self-care. Inside these LSIEs we find the professional responsible for the direct care of the elderly, the formal caregiver. In this context, this dissertation presents two main objectives: an analysis of the phenomenon of population aging in a given brazilian municipality Natal / RN, based on the Demographic Censuses of 2000 e 2010; and a social, demographic and economic characterization of the Formal caregiver for the institutionalized elderly in the municipality, evaluating aspects of his quality of life and also analyzing the institutions where they are inserted. Furthermore, we intend to identify demographic, socioeconomic and quality of life factors that are correlated with caregivers quitting the job. The data used in the second part of this work comes from the research project named Long-Stay Institutions for Elderly: abandonment or a family need? . This survey interviewed 92 caregivers in eleven LSIEs in Natal/RN. In the data treatment logistic regressions, cluster analysis and statistical tests were used. The survey revealed that aging in Natal is more pronounced in the older, more traditional districts: Petr?polis, Lagoa Seca and Tirol. It also allowed a broad characterization of the formal caregivers in LSIEs. Most of these professionals are female. The educational level is predominantly complete high school and more. Most caregivers reported being married or in union, or have ever been in a union. Family monthly income is under three times the minimum wage. The mean age is of 37.4 years. The mean time of work as a caregiver was 5.93 years. The associations showed that being woman, not being single, having caregiving training and physical limitations (regarding quality of life) are related to wanting to quit the caregiving job. As for the characterization of the LSIEs, it was found that the philanthropic ones are older and have most (62.5%) of the institutionalized elderly. The institutions managers gave social interaction and affinity with the elderly as the main criteria with which to evaluate and hire caregivers. It is intended with this study to contribute to improving the quality of life of the elderly and their caregiver, providing information on aspects of institutionalization of elderly both in the philanthropic and particular institutions, in Natal/RN; this dissertation may also be used as a starting point for later works
O envelhecimento populacional e individual tem sido objeto de diversos estudos na atualidade. Isso se deve, provavelmente, ao impacto desse fen?meno em diversos setores da sociedade, principalmente nos de previd?ncia social, assist?ncia social e sa?de p?blica. O envelhecimento do indiv?duo, na figura do idoso, demanda servi?os espec?ficos, tendo em vista as limita??es e vulnerabilidades do indiv?duo nessa fase da vida humana. O crescimento desse contingente nas ?ltimas d?cadas traz desafios para os gestores, para a fam?lia e para a sociedade. Nesse cen?rio, as institui??es de longa perman?ncia para idosos (ILPI) surgem como uma op??o de aux?lio e amparo ao idoso e a sua fam?lia, com a presta??o de assist?ncia integral ou parcial nas atividades de vida di?ria e no autocuidado. No ambiente dessas ILPIs se encontra o profissional respons?vel pelo cuidado direto ao idoso, o cuidador formal de idosos. Diante de tal contexto, a disserta??o apresenta dois grandes enfoques: uma an?lise do fen?meno do envelhecimento populacional num determinado munic?pio brasileiro ‒ Natal/RN, ‒ com base nos Censos Demogr?ficos de 2000 e 2010, e uma caracteriza??o social, demogr?fica e econ?mica do cuidador formal de idosos institucionalizado do munic?pio, avaliando os aspectos de sua qualidade de vida, e tamb?m, analisando as institui??es onde est?o inseridos. Ademais, pretende-se identificar os fatores socioecon?micos e demogr?ficos, e os ligados ? qualidade de vida que levam os cuidadores a deixar essa ocupa??o. Os dados utilizados na segunda parte deste trabalho prov?m do projeto de pesquisa intitulado Institui??es de longa perman?ncia para idosos: abandono ou. uma necessidade familiar? . A pesquisa envolveu 92 cuidadores formais, distribu?dos em onze ILPIs localizadas em Natal/RN. No tratamento dos dados, foram utilizadas Regress?es Log?sticas, An?lise de Agrupamento e Testes Estat?sticos. A pesquisa permitiu constatar que o envelhecimento no munic?pio de Natal ? maior nos bairros mais antigos e tradicionais: Petr?polis, Lagoa Seca e Tirol. Permitiu tamb?m uma ampla caracteriza??o dos cuidadores formais lotados nas ILPIs. A maioria ? do sexo feminino. A escolaridade predominante ? ensino m?dio completo e mais. A maior parte dos cuidadores declararam estar casados/unidos ou alguma vez unidos. A renda familiar mensal ? inferior a tr?s sal?rios. Quanto ? idade, em m?dia, ? de 37,4 anos. O tempo m?dio de exerc?cio da fun??o de cuidador ? de 5,93 anos. As associa??es mostraram que ser mulher, n?o ser solteiro, fazer o curso de cuidador e a limita??o por aspectos f?sicos (dom?nio da qualidade de vida) se relacionam a pretens?o de deixar de ser cuidador de idosos (atividade). Quanto ? caracteriza??o das ILPIs, verificou-se que as de natureza filantr?pica s?o mais antigas e concentram o maior n?mero de idosos institucionalizados (62,5%). Para contratar os cuidadores, os dirigentes das ILPIs citaram como principal qualidade/capacidade a intera??o social e a afinidade com o idoso. Pretende-se, com este estudo, contribuir para a melhoria da qualidade de vida do idoso e de seu cuidador formal, fornecendo informa??es sobre aspectos da institucionaliza??o do idoso, tanto em estabelecimentos filantr?picos quanto em estabelecimentos privados, no munic?pio de Natal/RN, que poder?o servir de par?metro para estudos posteriores mais aprofundados

Full textResumo: A biomassa apresenta-se como uma promissora alternativa aos combustíveis fósseis por ser renovável, de baixo custo e amplamente disponível. Esta pode ser obtida a partir de resíduos agroindustriais mostrando-se como um importante modelo de energia sustentável. Os principais componentes da biomassa são hemicelulose, celulose e lignina e, por possuírem diferentes propriedades químicas, influenciam diretamente na eficiência de um processo de conversão termoquímica. Metodologias convencionais atualmente aceitas na determinação dos principais componentes da biomassa requerem maior tempo e possuem alto custo. A análise termogravimétrica (TG) é uma técnica rápida e de baixo custo, resultando em curvas TG/DTG que fornecem uma indicação do percentual de cada um dos componentes da biomassa. Entretanto, não há uma metodologia aceita no sentido de substituir o método convencional por via úmida na determinação dos constituintes de materiais lignocelulósicos. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo é avaliar o efeito da interação entre os componentes do bagaço e da palha de cana-de-açúcar (hemicelulose, celulose e lignina), isolados por diferentes tratamentos químicos, por meio da análise de sinergismo em ensaios termogravimétricos. Este estudo contribuirá para a elaboração de uma metodologia para determinação dos teores desses componentes por meio da análise termogravimétrica, com precisão similar aos métodos convencionais.

Abstract: Biomass presents itself as a promising alternative energy source to replace or reduce the use of fossil fuels because it is renewable, low cost and widely available. This can be obtained from agro-industrial waste, showing itself as an important model of sustainable energy. The main components of biomass are hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin and, due to their different chemical properties, they directly influence the efficiency of a thermochemical conversion process. Currently, the accepted methodologies for determining the main components of biomass require time and are expensive. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a fast and low-cost technique, resulting in TGA/DTG curves that provide an indication of the percentage of each biomass components. However, there is no accepted methodology in the sense to replace the conventional wet method use to determining the lignocellulosic materials components. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the interaction between the components of sugarcane bagasse and straw (hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin), isolated by different chemical treatments, through the analysis of synergism in thermogravimetric tests. This study will contribute to the development of a methodology for determining the content of these components through thermogravimetric analysis, with precision similar to conventional methods. The results of chemical characterization and physico-chemical characterization by FTIR and DRX technique of t... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Na região do Cerrado, a integração lavoura-pecuária sob sistema plantio direto é uma das alternativas para elevar a produtividade e o desempenho econômico de sistemas agrícolas. O trabalho de pesquisa objetivou: 1) avaliar a produtividade de grãos da cultura de milho em épocas de consorciação com o Panicum maximum cv. Tanzânia, Panicum maximum cv. Mombaça, Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu e Brachiaria ruziziensis; 2) avaliar a adubação nitrogenada dos capins após a colheita do milho em quatro épocas de corte no inverno/primavera quanto à produtividade de massa seca, a composição bromatológica, o índice ICF, a eficiência de conversão do N-fertilizante em forragem e a decomposição da palha após a última época de corte; 3) avaliar o efeito residual da adubação nitrogenada nos capins na cultura do milho em sucessão; 4) avaliar o desempenho econômico do milho consorciado, da pastagem adubada com nitrogênio, do milho em sucessão e do sistema como um todo, considerando o ganho de peso vivo médio diário de 0,2 e 0,6 kg/animal. Para atingir tais propósitos, foram conduzidos três experimentos sequenciais, durante os anos agrícolas de 2007/08 e 2008/09 na Fazenda de Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão, da Faculdade de Engenharia - Unesp, Campus de Ilha Solteira, em um Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico em condições de cerrado, com histórico de cinco anos sob sistema plantio direto. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. No experimento I (2007/2008), os tratamentos foram constituídos de oito consórcios da cultura do milho com capins (semeado simultaneamente ou por ocasião da adubação nitrogenada de cobertura) e do milho sem consorciação.

Full textA satisfaction survey is an important indicator of quality. The entrance door is seen as a “thermometer” of the quality of care provided by the health system. Overcrowded emergency rooms and long waiting time for elective hospitalizations are a reality in many hospitals. This study analyzed users’ satisfaction according to the type of inpatient stay – emergency or admission – in a university hospital; described their demographic profile, compared the satisfaction of users; presented aspects of care about praises, criticisms and suggestions; and investigated the influence of the length of stay in the satisfaction of users. Belonging to a longitudinal study this research was of a survey type, carried out in a public university hospital in southern Brazil. The sample consisted of users over 18 years old, hospitalized for at least 48 hours in clinical and surgical units. The research instrument consisted of sociodemographic, stay-in and satisfaction variables, and two open questions. The collection of data was carried out by phone in a period of 15 to 30 days after hospital discharge. The analysis of the study was of a descriptive and analytical type. Three hundred and sixty-seven users were eligible, 174 were hospitalized by emergency and 192 by admission, 52% were female, 50.9% adults and young adults, 51% live with a partner, 47.7% have more than 8 years of study, 77.7% were admitted by the Unified Health System (SUS), and the average of hospitalization were 13.6 days. For the emergency group, 51.7% were elderly people, 51.5% of users reported praise and the length of hospitalization had correlation with the dimensions of admission (rS =.236), with the team of nutrition (rS =.203), and discharge (rS =.218). For the group that entered by admission, 57.1% highlighted criticism and the length of hospitalization had correlation with the admission (rS=.185). Considering the outcome “users’ satisfaction”, 33.3% replied to be satisfied and 66.1% very satisfied with the service received. The only dimension of satisfaction that did not show any statistical difference between the two groups was the nursing team. This study pointed to the fragility of the health system in relation to the care of the elderly and bed management processes, but demonstrated a high level of user’s satisfaction regarding the assistance provided in the referred university hospital.
La pesquisa de satisfacción es un importante indicador de calidad. La puerta de entrada es mirada como un “indicador” de la calidad del atendimento ofertada por el sistema de salud. Emergencias superlotadas y largos períodos de espera para ingresos efectivos son una de las realidades en los hospitales. Esto estudio analisó la satisfacción de los usuários según la forma de ingreso-emergência y admisión- en hospital universitário, describió el perfil sociodemográfico, comparó la satisfacción de usuários, levantó aspectos del atendimiento cuanto a elogios, crítica y sugerencias e investigó la influencia del tiempo de ingreso en la satisfacción de los usuários. Integrante de un estúdio longitudinal, esta pesquisa fué del tipo survey, realizada en un hospital público, universitario y general en el Sur del Brasil. La amuestra se constituyó de usuários mayores de 18 años ingresados en el mínimo 48 horas en unidades clínicas y cirúrgicas. El instrumento de pesquisa constó con variables sociodemográficas, de ingreso, de satisfacción y dos preguntas abiertas . La coleta fué realizada por teléfono en el período de 15 a 30 días apos el alta del hospital. La análisis del estúdio fué del tipo descriptiva y analítica, fueron escogidos 367 usuarios, 174 ingresaron por la emergência y 192 por la admisión, 52 del sexo femenino, 50,9% adultos y adultos jóvenes, 51% viven con compañero, 47,7% tienen más de 8 años de estudio, 77,7% ingresaron por el Sistema Único de Salud y la media de ingreso fué de 13,6 días. Para el grupo de emergencia 51,7% fueron ancianos, 51,5% de usuários destacaron elogios y el período de ingresso tuvo correlación con las dimensiones de admisión (rS=.236), con el equipo de nutrición (rS=.203) y con el alta (rS=.218). Para el grupo que ingresó por la admisión 57,1% destacaron críticas y el período de ingresso tuvo correlación con la admisión (rS=.185). Llevando en cuenta el desfecho satisfación de los usuários 33,3% respondieron estar satisfechos y 66,1%muy satisfechos con la atención recebida. La única dimensión de satisfacción que no tuvo diferencia estatística entre los dos grupos fué a de el equipo de enfermeira. Este estúdio demonstró la fragilidade del sistema de salud frente a los cuidados con los ancianos y cuanto a los procesos de gestión de lechos, pero demonstró un elevado nível de satisfacción de los usuários con la asistencia prestada en hospital universitário.

Full textIntroduction: The lack of structured expense systems in hospital organizations, especially when philanthropic, has hindered the analysis of the coverage of costs by transfer of funds from the Unified Healthcare System (SUS) for the procedures performed. Objective: To identify the percentage of coverage of the transfer of funds from SUS for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) in a philanthropic hospital that has a consolidated expense system in the municipality of São Paulo. Method: A quantitative, cross-sectional, and descriptive study. A databank containing data with CABG records called REVASC was used, created by the institution in 2009 with ongoing data inclusion. Information for the research was collected from March 13 to September 30, 2012. The choice of that period was due to the start of inclusion of information on costs and the transfer of funds from SUS. The target population was made up of 1913 patients and a sample of 1362 (71.2%). Results: The total mean cost of hospitalization per patient was R$16,196.91. The mean transfer of funds by SUS was R$6,992.91 (48.66%), with a deficit of 9,204.00 (51.34%). The mean age of the subjects was 61.4 years, and 69.9% of them were men. The mean hospital stay (HS) was 11.23 days, in which 2.42 days were in intensive therapy, and 8.49 days in the postoperative unit. Most of the patients (69.5%) had a HS longer than seven days, considered prolonged by the institution. When comparing Group 1 (HS 7 days) and Group 2 (HS >7 days), the latter group showed costs, revenue, difference between cost and revenue, and percentage difference significantly greater than did the patients from Group 1. In associating the HS with risk factors, there was a greater difference only in Group 2, which showed a higher age, and greater number individuals with diabetes and chronic renal failure. As to postoperative complications, there was a difference as to blood transfusion, atrial fibrillation, significant bleeding, pneumonia, acute renal failure, perioperative acute myocardial infarct, hemodialysis, cerebrovascular accident, prolonged mechanical ventilation, and reoperation due to bleeding/mediastinitis, also with an incidence greater than in Group 2. Conclusion: The financial provision from SUS covered less than half the total mean cost of hospitalization for CABG (48.66%). Although the value transferred from SUS increased according to cost elevation, this reimbursement was disproportional to the total cost, resulting in an increasingly negative percentage difference of revenue for each increase in cost and in hospital stay.

Full textThis work aims to set the basis for a health management by analyzing the key informations of 430 medical records, which were taken from two public hospitals in the city of São Paulo, in April 2010.The research showed that the records were different in both hospitals in most of the variables studied. Consequently, they had to be analysed distinctively. It was observed that, while the variables: gender, age, diagnosis, hospital discharge reasons, lengh of stay and medical cares were entirely recorded, variables like blood pressure, cardiac and breathing frequency, body temperature, pain, food, bath and locomotion were partially recorded. Considering the variables entirely recorded, it was verified that in the hospitals A and B, respectively, the most medical admission requirements were for adults between 30-59 years of age (35.9%, 42.3%), elderly aged 60 or older (22.8%, 16.3%) and children under 4 years old (20.1%, 17.2%). On the same way, children (4 a 5 days, 4 a 6 days) and elderly (2 a 6 days, 4 a 6 days) had longer lenght of stay. In hospital A respiratory system diseases (20.5%) were the leading cause of medical admissions followed by mental and behavioral disorders (14.4%), compared to hospital B, respiratory system diseases (15.4%) followed by circulatory system illnesses(13.5%). In both cases A and B, respectively, the basic care were more frequent on the hospital discharge (n=278, n=315) if compaired to admissions (n=271, n=234), while invasive care were more frequent in the admissions (n=505, n=618) if compaired to hospital discharge (n=201, n=208). Upong analyzing the presence of the variables partial record, it has occurred in hospital A at the time of admissions and medical discharges, respectively,: blood pressure (73.5%, 73.5%), cardiac frequency (72.1%, 71.6%), breathing frequency(39.1%, 29.3%), body temperature (89.3%, 80.5%), pain (12.6%, 11.2%), food (92.6%, 95.3%), bath (91.6%, 94.4%) and locomotion (94.9%, 95.8%), while in the the hospital B, it has occurred respectively;: blood pressure (80%, 73.5%), cardiac frequency (80.5%, 73%), breathing frequency (21.4%, 12.1%), body temperature (96.7%, 89.8%), pain (1.4%, 0.5%), food (100%, 99.5%), bath (99.1%, 99.1%) and locomotion (99.5%, 99.1%). The association between the variables: lenght of stay and number of cares at the time of hospital admissions and discharges with the other parameters, showed that the longer the length of stay and the greater the number of cares in admissions and discharges, the older are the inpatients and the greater are the number of diagnosis and the clinical and functional impairements.

Full textHealt care comprises multiple ways of services, where hospitals are the nuclear reference institution of health services. In may 2009, a new pandemic influenza vírus subtype was identified as Influenza A(H1N1)09pdm, wich was characterized by high demand for hospital visits and hospitalizations. This research aimed to study the hospital service expenditure on confirmed and non-confirmed hospitalizations associated with Influenza A(H1N1)09pdm at Instituto Central do Hospital das Clínicas FMUSP (ICHC - HCFMUSP), between May and December of 2009. It was analyzed the registers from the notification database and output hospital database from the Information Health Department. According to inclusion criteria, it was found 430 people with 632 hospitalizations with 26% (n=112) patients and 22,3% (n=141) hospitalization for confirmed cases. For non confirmed hospitalizations, the median length of stay was 5+17 (0-161) days with 23,4% (n=148) of ICU admissions with median length of stay 4,5+7,8 (0-46) days. For confirmed cases, the hospitalization length of stay was 5+19,1 (0-161) days with 26,9% (n=38) on ICU admissions with median length of stay 5+8,3 (0-31) days. The notification peak was on August with 31,6% (n=200 from 632) hospitalizations form non-confirmed cases and 44% (n=62 from 141) confirmed cases hospitalization. The Influenza A(H1N1)09pdm impacted on service expenditure, because of its distribution in several wards from ICHC wich implied high expenditure of diagnosis and therapeutic proceeds

Full textINTRODUCTION: Despite all the developments in the surgical treatment of cancer, there are still complicating factors for a correct postoperative evolution. There were conducted a retrospective study in a population of patients submitted to surgical rectal cancer treatment to characterize them epidemiologically and determine which variables are associated with increased morbimortality such as increased hospital length of stay, use of intensive care unit, reoperations, 30-day mortality and total hospital costs. METHOD: All patients submitted to colorectal surgery treatment for cancer during the period October 1st, 2008 to December 31th, 2012, resulting in a sample of 405 patients of both genders. Univariate analysis was conducted for each outcome and multivariate analysis through logistic regression with adjustment for the following variables: sex, age, body mass index, TNM stage, procedure performed, ASA score, laparoscopic or open surgery, neoadjuvant treatment, interval between the neoadjuvant therapy and the surgery, and operative time, with internal validation by the bootstrap technique. RESULTS: there were identified as risk factors for increased hospital stay, the obesity class II and III (OR 15.44; 95% CI 1.05-227.52; p = 0.05) and combined anesthesia - regional and general (OR 5.38; 95% CI 1.08-29.95; p = 0.04); abdominoperineal amputation was a risk factor for 30-day reoperation (OR 4.54; 1.15 95% CI-17.90; p = 0.03); abdominoperineal amputation (OR 5.38; 95% CI 1.21-23.73; p = 0.03) and pelvic exenteration (OR 19.98; 95% CI 0.99-401.32; p = 0.05) were risk factors for ICU use; age over 79 years (OR 13.99; CI 1.51-128.95; p = 0.02) was a risk factor for postoperative complication; age over 79 years (OR 0.07; CI 0.01-0.39; p = 0.01) was protective factor to prolonged operative time , obesity class II and III (OR 12.87; CI 1.54-107.67; p = 0.02) and laparoscopic approach with transition to open (OR 8.7; CI 2.67-28.36; p 0.001) were risk factors to prolonged operative time. CONCLUSIONS: Obese class II and III and combined anesthesia are risk factors for prolonged hospital stay for patients undergoing surgery for rectal cancer treatment. Further studies are needed to understand the mechanisms that lead combined anesthesia to increase hospital stay

The following study on the spread of zoonotic endoparasites and the infection rate of Toxoplasma gondii on stray dogs and cats in the Taipei city vicinity took place from May of 1995 to March of 1996. Our data for testing zoonotic endoparasites consisted of 96 stray dogs and 95 stray cats. To test the infection rate of Toxoplasma gondii, we used three separate groups of sera samples, 100 each numbeaing for man, stray dogs, and stray cats. In addition, we conducted autopsy for worms detection, the fecal flotation method to detect ovium, protozoa, and worms, all of which are not visible by the naked eyes. Through these methods, we found that 89.6% of stray dogs were infected with endoparasites. These endoparasites can be broken down in the following: 53% of Ancylostoma caninum, 45% of Dirofilaria immitis, 27% of Toxocara canis, 1% of Toxocaris leonina, 1% of Strongyloides stercoralis, 52% of Dipylidium caninum, 1% of Dipyllobothrium latum, and 1% of Isospora canis. For stray cats, we found that 82.1% of stray cats were infected with endoparasites. Like the endoparasites found in stray dogs, the endoparasites in stray cats can also be broken down in the following: 44% of Ancylostoma tubaeforme, 42% of Toxocara cati, 27% of Dipylidium caninum, 4% of Difofilaria immitis, 2% of Strongyloides stercoralis, 2% of Capillaria spp., 5% of Taenia pisiformis, 3% of Dipyllobothrium mansoni, 1% of Dipyllobothrium latum, 6% of Isospora bigemina, and 3% of Isopspora rivolta. And finally, the results of Toxoplasma serological prevalence investigation were the following: 7% of humans IgG positive, 7% of stray dogs IgG positive, 1% of IgM positive, 43% of stray cats IgG positive, and 12% of IgM positive. Thus, as our study shows stray dogs and cats in the Taipeii city could be carriers of infectious diseases, and as a result, baneful to public health.

The capabilities approach was provided by Martha Nussbaum, who was a scholar of the Social Contract to supplement A Theory of Justice, a correction theory of the Social Contract. The Social Contract is the base of Liberal democracy and rule of law. The most special thing is that on the premise of mutual benefit, both sides are free, equal, and independent to contract. However, it is difficult to apply for Non-human animal. The capabilities approach is for Living creature. It is a waste and tragedy if the creature has the ability to show its importance and goodness but it doesn’t have the chance to show. And we know that creature is an actor or a subject. The creature is for enjoying something. They are creatures for certain purpose. The capabilities approach can bring moral perspective for shelter management of zero culling policy. Dog can live in the society by the process of catching, shelter, and sterilization to get the dignity. Stray dog is a category of dog. It’s good for stray dogs because that means they should not be that situation. Zero culling policy will cause shelter to overcharge but we should think it’s a policy for pushing government and society to diversify management to finally end stray dog problem.

This monograph aims to account for how Taiwan society’s concern for dogs gets complicated. In order to trace the origins of the ways our society deals with dogs, I select three significant human-dogs relationships as focuses, discussing them in respective chapters. Chapter Two explores the change of human-dogs relationship under the modern idea and institution of hygiene, especially how the policy on rabies forms the infrastructure for modern nation-state’s governance of dogs. This period ranges from Japan’s colonization of Taiwan at 1895 to Sino-Japanese War during 1930s. Chapter Three reveals the ideological and social construction of evaluation and appreciation of purebred dogs, along with the establishment of the market for artificial propagation, exchange, and sales of dogs. This process follows Sino-Japanese War in 1930s, during which the significance of military dogs is raised, and ends at 1980s when the dogs market fails in its business speculation. Chapter Four portrays the relation between stray-dogs and rescue communities, focusing on the action of feeding stray animals. The action of rescuing stray-dogs implies that, from 1982 to this day, there emerges the society’s sympathy for dogs and its reflection on its attitudes toward animals. Except for the account for the complication of ideas about dogs in Taiwan society, this monograph will at last go further and point out the limits to the ways of the construction of understanding of dogs, classifications, positioning dogs by imposing identities, and in turn re-construction of people’s understanding of them.

The Animal Protection Law has been legislated for a respect and protection for animal lives since November in the 87th year of the “Republic Era”. However the violation of the law has been uncontrolled due to a lack of supervision among human beings that results in improper treatments to homeless animals. Investigators have been working hard on legislations of Euthanasia for stray dogs. There are increasing numbers of organizations in diverse scales all over Taiwan, who are encouraging the concept of adoption instead of purchasing, birth control rather than culling. They often help to arrange adoption campaigns and have made a drastic increase rate in stray dogs adoption. The study is carried out by customized service design along with researches on users. It aims to improve and re-arrange the current joint-adoption format and thinking based on the core concept of users in order to discover potential demand of people plus offers from charities. In addition to an increase in users’ experience, the quality and value of service forms a coherence that assembles groups of people in the society and the linkage on the Internet, i.e. the joint adoption platform. We collected documents about stray dogs adoption and interviewed different groups of people, which the data analyzes a variety of adoption ideas, experiences and processes. Moreover, a clear understanding of adoption process and emotional affection brought by users is then emerged to an online platform, which is designed and appeared as a prototype of a website. The study intends to modify the conceptual process of joint adoption so as to increase the adoption rate of a huge number of potential adopters through a friendly user interface and achieve joint adoption programs. A proper distribution of finance and space sharing yields supervision among users and prompts an improvement to adoption environment in Taiwan. Last but not least, the study hopes to make the project widespread and transform it into a belief and attitude. By putting the concept into practice, a whole system of adoption service will be able to conquer fates of Euthanasia of stray dogs as well as improving and implementing beneficial offers for the homeless animals under shelters in Taiwan.

The problem of street animals has not been properly dealt with in Taiwan. In the past, in order to reduce the generation of street dogs, euthanasia has been used to try to control the quantity of them. Years of euthanasia have not effectively controlled the number of stray dogs. On the other hand, it has increased the mental pressure of law enforcement officers. When the movie, “Twelve Nights” had released, it has shown the process of how euthanasia do to the animal. The truth of the euthanasia exposure in the movie has caused the majority people in public and the animal protection groups fight against it. The manager of the animal shelter at Xinwu District, Zhi-Cheng Jian, was unbearable with multiple pressures from the public. He had choose to injected himself with euthanasia drug that originally use on stray dogs to end his precious life. Many management problems of stray dogs at the animal shelters have sprung up on the countertop. This caused the government to make decisions to promote the "Zero Euthanasia policy". This policy has promoted by multi animal protection organizations and elected representatives. "Zero Euthanasia Policy" has passed legislation in 2015 and officially launched in 2017. Due to the ambiguous attitude of animal control in Taiwan for many years, the number of dogs has not been accurately grasped, and the legislation has only been used for two years to buffer the time, resulting in a number of supporting measures are not perfect, such as how to relocate the dog, how big of space to use, expenses , labors and other related issues. TNVR's pre-jobs, residents' education, location selection, etc., lead to the policy goal to be reversed. It caused the animal welfare of canine can't be promoted, and it is even faced with is the imprisonment in the foreseeable future. The dilemma of not being able to die for suffering is even more distressing. Therefore, this study evaluates policies through serious interviews with stakeholders and its purpose to seek for suggestions and helps from relevant units. In order to achieve the true purpose behind the policy, animals are given basic rights to life on the premise of protecting animal welfare. The study found that Taiwan has inadequate policies, laws, education, and support. The hasty implementation of the zero-euthanasia policy of stray animals has led to the disintegration of the stray animal containment system. According to the interview results, the following problems arising from the policy are discovered: Insufficient housing space, increased number of abandonment, lack of medical resources in shelters, overworked first-line personnel in shelters, problems with the volume of shelters transferred to private dog farms, and reduced animal welfare. Most people express their affirmation of the policy, but there are still many areas for improvement during the process of implementation.

Toxoplasmosis, Dirofilariasis, Lyme disease, Leptospirosis and Q fever are important worldwide zoonotic diseases and cause the great loss of economy. The specific aim of this research is to understand the prevalene and epidemiology of zoonotic diseases in Kaohsiung under different factors like age, sex, breed, season, domestic dogs and stray dogs. Blood specimens were collected and subjected to Polymerase Chain Reaction(PCR)to examine the occurrance of these disease. The PCR was revelaed specificity and sensitivity of detection of pathogen DNA. The positive rate of each diseases was as followed: Toxoplasmosis was 0.14% (2/1440), Dirofilariasis was 7.08% (102/1440), Lyme disease was 0.07% (1/1440), Leptospirosis was 0.07% (1/1440), and Q fever was 4.79% (69/1440). According to the statistical analysis, Dirofilariasis infection related with ages, domestic dogs and stray dogs. The elder dogs with higher infected possibility. The stray dogs stung by vector mosquito more easily, thus with higher infection rate than domestic dogs. The environmental temperature was relatively stable in the south of Taiwan, thus, the infection of Dirofilariasis was irrelevant to seasons. Q fever infection was related with ages, seasons and domestic dogs and stray dogs. The highest infection of Q fever was in spring and winter, it should be possible related with reproduction and the spread of pathogens. By comparsion of gene sequence between isolated strain with the United States, Germany, Brazil, China strain showed a similarity of 98.7%. Heartworm positive strains of Taiwan with China and Iran strain showed similarity of 95-97% and 89-94% respectively. Lyme disease positive strains compared with the United States, Germany, Sweden strain revelaed a similarity of 97-98%. Leptospira positive strains compared with China, Brazil, United States, Japan strain showed a similarity of 98.5-99.5%. Q fever positive strains compared with Japan, Korea, the United States strain showed a similarity of 97-100%.Taken together these results couldbe the useful information for epidemic disease prevention .

This thesis takes Liu Kashiang's “The Hill of Stray Dogs” as the main study text, discusses on the development of modern nature writing in Taiwan cored on Liu Kashiang's works, and the theme and connotation of “The Hill of Stray Dogs”, and discusses characteristics of it respectively. It is hoped that the main spirit of “The Hill of Stray Dogs “, caring for stray animals, will be demonstrated through the three orientation, at the same time exploring the special literary techniques and aesthetic values of the text. ‘The Hill of Stray Dog’ is the revision of a diary that describes the stories of twelve stray dogs. It’s a tragedy about the changes of environments and the exploitations on the stray animals in the cities. The book is objectively injected with the literary assumptions that expose the vicissitude of life of stray animals and the crimes that lead to devastating outcomes that the stray animals are wrongly accused of. Through this novel about stray animals, the writer cuts into a topic regarding our society and directly hits the apathy that flows in the cities. The book rouses the introspection on the anthropocentric ideology and the true meaning of a civilization. This thesis endeavors to dissect the core value of ‘The Hill of Stray Dog’. Through the thorough study, this thesis explores the literary virtue of this book, and it refers to ethology and blends it into the research contents. This thesis strives to interpret the connotations of stray dogs, define their expressions on emotions, contemplate the morally relations between human, animals and nature, and discusses the possibility for the seed of a new outlook which denotes a true, civilized perspective and respects the other livings that live on this great land with us.

For a long time, the authorities took “Trap-Removal” as the managing policy for stray dogs, which demonstrated not only an in-humane, but also inefficient approach for this subject. Instead, NGO for animal protection insisted Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) policy, and got very positive feedback in public. Furthermore, they cooperated with councilors to claim “No Kill” policy, and try to persuade the authorities to accept Neuter as a replacement of “Removal”. In the recent years, as TNR became more and more popular in the public forum, one fundamental question was arisen, like “ TNR is a good managing policy for stray animals?” Especially for stray dogs, there was much argument. Therefore, the study here is by observing 3 individual universities in Taipei City, which are authorized to conduct TNR for stray dogs in campus, to learn how TNR works and furthermore whether if TNR can be moving forward to a solid policy to address stray dog issue. The study result shows in the fixed region, in order to proceed TNR for stray dogs, it is necessary to: 1. Conduct people communication and education in the community to strengthen ownership, prohibit any non-planning feeding and perform safe interaction with animal. 2. Evaluate the collective behavior of the stray dogs locally, to draw up the optimized interaction mode with the dogs, ease down the concerns of public safety and consider ecological impact as well. 3. Well manage the feeding behavior by: Feeding location where they gather as usual. Food amount control, which directly influences dog quantity. Feeding manner, which impacts relationship with the dogs. In a word, well communication with the feeder can contribute success in TNR. 4. Evaluate the resources to proceed TNR. It has to be neutered for all the stray dogs, keep close observation, neuter for the newly dogs. If TNR happens in the large area, the neuter percentage has to be high enough to get the solid effectiveness. Besides, it is important for the authority to understand and support TNR, because dog management needs to be done and cooperated by all the members in the school. Compared with the normal community, it is relatively simple. However, during TNR process, there are still many issues to be resolved. Especially, during coming out the consensus in the campus, it can help to make it more friendly and contribute more in animal welfare.

Leptospirosis is an important zoonosis. Canine leptospirosis occurred worldwidely. The new identified serogroups of canine leptospirosis, except Canicola and Icterohaemorrhagiae, were found, like Grippotyphosa and Pomona. The survey of canine leptospirosis never done after 1977. Until 1997, the serological survey of military guard dogs was not undertaken. Because the different breeding of military guard dogs, it wouldn’t reflect the infection of dogs in Taiwan. The main objective of this study is to investigate the seroprevalence of leptospirosis among dogs in Taiwan. We investigated the leptospiremia prevalence and seroprevalence among domestic dogs from veterinary clinics in Taiwan. Urine and serum specimens were collected from 313 dogs visiting clinics from February to October 2003. Risk factors associated with leptospiral infection were collected at the time of serum collection through a structure questionnaire. Twenty-three percentages of dogs tested for Leptospira antibodies by microscopic agglutination test were found to be positive. Examination of urine samples by culture and polymerase chain reaction did not detect any leptospiral carriers. The prevalence of individual serovars was Leptospira Canicola 16.0 %, L. Icterohaemorrhagiae 15.7 %, L. Shermani 2.6 %, L. Pyrogenes 1.3 %, L. Bataviae 1.0 %, L. Pomona 0.3 %, L. Javanica 0.3 %, L. Tarassovi 0.3 % and L. Australis 0.3 %. According to information collected through the questionnaire, seropositive dogs were significantly associated with recent (≦ 1 year) vaccination (P < 0.05). It is concluded that the most dogs showing leptospiral antibodies in Taiwan do so as the result of vaccination. Then we investigated the seroprevalence among stray dogs from northern Taiwan. Sera were collected from 231 dogs in animal shelters of northern Taiwan from Feb to May 2004. The overall seropositive rate is 44.2% and the prevalence of individual serogroups was L. Shermani 26.4%, L. Canicola 11.7%, L. Icterohaemorrhagiae 7.4%, L. Australis 6.9%, L. Javanica 5.6%, L. Pyrogenes 5.2%, L. Grippotyphosa 3.9%, L. Bataviae 3.5%, L. Tarassovi 1.7%, L. Autumnalis 1.3%, L. Lyme 1.3%, and L. Pyogenes 0.4%. It shows the seropositive rate in stray dogs is higher than attended dogs, and the distribution of each serogroup between domestic dogs and stray dogs is different. In Taiwan, the major serogroups of leptospirosis in domestic dogs were Shermani and inactivated bacterins, Canicola and Icteroheamorrhagiae. The major serogroups of leptospirosis in stray dogs were Shermani, Canicola, and Icteroheamorrhagiae. Australis, Bataviae, Javanica, Pyrogenes and Tarassovi found among both domestic and stray dogs. Serogroup Pomona only found in domestic dogs. And we found serogroup Autumnalis, Grippotyphosa, Lyme and Pyogenes in stray dogs. Serogroup Grippotyphosa only found in stray dogs.

In recent years, due to the alteration of life styles, many pet owners pay more attention to their dog's health and medicine. Since domestic dogs and stray dogs live in the same environment, zoonoses had been became a serious public health problem. There are five common zoonoses in Taiwan, including toxoplasmosis,heartworm disease,lyme disease,leptospirosis and Q fever.In this study, random sampling of blood samples from domestic and stray dogs in Central Taiwan (including Taichung, Changhua and Yunlin). Blood 720 samples from 30 domestic and 30 stray dogs were collected every month from August 1, 2009 to July 31, 2011. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)was utilized to diagnosis the five zoonotic diseases and analyze the prevalence. The sensitivity of PCR was downed to 1 pg/μL DNA. The PCR positive rate of those diseases was as followed: in stray dogs group, Toxoplasma gondii 3.89 % (28/720), Dirofilaria immitis 7.22 % (52/720), Borrelia burgdorferi 5.42 % (39/720), Leptospira spp. 7.22 % (52/720), and Coxiella burnetii 5.83 % (42/720), by which in domestic dogs group, Toxoplasma gondii 1.39 % (10/720), Dirofilaria immitis 7.08 % (51/720), Borrelia burgdorferi 3.33 % (24/720), Leptospira spp. 6.25 % (45/720), and Coxiella burnetii 8.61 % (62/720). The total positive rate was Toxoplasma gondii 2.64% (38/1440), Dirofilaria immitis 7.15 % (103/1440), Borrelia burgdorferi 4.38 % (63/1440), Leptospira spp. 6.74 % (97/1440), and Coxiella burnetii 7.22 % (104/1440). In the sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, the isolated Toxoplasma gondii and United States, Germany, Brazil and Chinese strain shared with the similarity of 95–100 %. The isolated strains and Taiwan and China strain contained 96–97 % sequence similarity, Iran contained 93 % sequence identity with Dirofilaria immitis. The isolated strains and United States, Germany and Sweden strain shared 98–100 % sequence identity with Borrelia burgdorferi. The isolated strains and China , Brazil, United States and Japan strain possessed of 97–100 % sequence identity with Leptospira spp. The isolated strains and Japan and United States strain contained 99-100 % sequence identity with Coxiella burnetii. By the statistical data analysis, we concluded: (a)for the stray dogs: Toxoplasma gondii, Borrelia burgdorferi, and Leptospira spp. are correlated with the age and seasons, but not correlated with the breed and gender ; Dirofilaria immitis species are correlated with the breed and seasons, but not correlated with the gender and age ; Coxiella burnetii is correlated with the seasons, but not correlated with the breed, gender and age ; (b)for the domestic dog: Toxoplasma gondii, Borrelia burgdorferi, Coxiella burnetii are correlated with the seasons, but not correlated with the species, gender and age ; Dirofilaria immitis is correlated with the breed, age and seasons, but not correlated with the gender ; Leptospira spp. is correlated with the gender and season, but not correlated with the age and species. The current results revealed the high sensitivity and high specificity of primer pairs by polymerase chain reaction in zoonoses diseases detection, thus, these results could be the useful information as the reference for epidemic disease prevention.
