Evidence-based canine decontamination protocols are underrepresented in the veterinary literature. Aerosolized microbiological and chemical contaminants can pose a risk in deployment environments highlighting the need for improved canine field decontamination strategies. Prior work has established the efficacy of traditional, water-intensive methods on contaminant removal from the coat of the working canine; however, it is not known if similar reductions can be achieved with simple field expedient methods when resources are limited. The objective of this study was to measure the reduction of aerosolized contamination via a practical “wipe-down” procedure performed on working canine coats contaminated with a fluorescent, non-toxic, water-based aerosol. Disposable, lint-free towels were saturated with one of three treatments: water, 2% chlorhexidine gluconate scrub (CHX), or 7.5% povidone-iodine scrub (PVD). Both CHX and PVD were diluted at a 1:4 ratio. Treatments were randomly assigned to one of three quadrants established across the shoulders and back of commonly utilized working dog breeds (Labrador retrievers, n = 16; German shepherds, n = 16). The fourth quadrant remained unwiped, thus serving as a control. Reduction in fluorescent marker contamination was measured and compared across all quadrants. PVD demonstrated greater marker reduction compared to CHX or water in both breeds (p < 0.0001). Reduction was similar between CHX or water in Labradors (p = 0.86) and shepherds (p = 0.06). Effective wipe-down strategies using common veterinary cleansers should be further investigated and incorporated into decontamination practices to safeguard working canine health and prevent cross-contamination of human personnel working with these animals.

Efficiency And Productivity

The efficiency and productivity of Zakat institution have widely discussed, it is an organization based on social which looks after economic disparities. Most recently, Indonesia made a standardization policy and system of zakat institution, so that the zakat institution in Indonesia can reach the same quality or higher rather than other countries. It called Zakat Core Principles. Therefore, this research will focus on the zakat institution in Indonesia and Malaysia. The purpose of this study is to measure and compare the efficiency and productivity using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI), which is a non-parametric and deterministic methodology for determining the relative efficiency and productivity. The result of this research shows, The first quadrant is the best efficient and productive institutions gained by zakat institution in Indonesia namely Sinergi Foundation and 3 zakat institutions in Malaysia namely Kedah, Melayu Perak, and Selangor. The second quadrant is highly productive but low efficient achieved by zakat institutions in Indonesia namely Baznas, RZ, Dompet Dhuafa and 1 zakat institution in Malaysia namely Jawhar. The third quadrant is high efficient but low productive didn’t achieve by any zakat institution in Indonesia or Malaysia. The fourth quadrant is low efficient and low productive reached by 1 zakat institution in Indonesia namely PKPU and 3 zakat institution in Malaysia namely Kelantan, PPZ and Pahang. The implication in this study is describing the position of zakat institution in Indonesia and Malaysia so that it is known which zakat institution could be a role model or benchmarking for other zakat institution.

This action research reports the experiences of introducing blended learning in the delivery of a post-graduate course to students in the university. The research conceptual framework is adapted from the technology acceptance model. The objective is to assess the level of acceptance of online learning and to document the attempts of the facilitator to create an independent, student-directed, and student-centered learning environment. This is the fourth quadrant learning typology. The research participants were a group of Masters in Education students who registered for the course “Strategies for Teaching and Learning.” Blended learning was introduced as a variant from the standard face-to-face instruction. This proved to be a valuable learning experience for both participants and lecturer. The perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of online learning was not matched with the behavioral intention.

Team learning, the focus of the fourth quadrant of the AMBIT wheel, is justified by strong evidence about the weak translation of evidence-based trainings into practice fidelity, and weak clinical outcomes from even the most powerfully evidenced practices. The need for strong leadership (and what this entails) to support development of a learning organization is described. Research findings on quality improvements and outcomes in health and social care settings lead to a framework of AMBIT competencies. The notion of local team “manualization” is introduced; this is the systematic effort of a team over time to reflect upon and record (mentalize) how the team works, and why. Discussion of treatment manuals and (as the AMBIT stance presents it) the tension between “Respect for evidence” and “Respect for local practice and expertise” lead to notions of co-construction. Technical aspects of AMBIT’s wiki manual are described, along with how these aspects support a community of practice and mirror “open-source” IT developments.

AbstractThe ionised gas regions, which are the main tracers of the spiral arms, can be used for the study and determination of the spiral structure of our Galaxy. Towards this goal, the Marseille Observatory elaborated and developed an instrument, using a scanning Fabry–Perot interferometer, particularly suited for the observation of extended objects. A survey of the southern Galactic plane then started at the beginning of 1990. The major instrumental aim is to obtain spectral information, and therefore the ionised gas kinematics, in each pixel of the observed fields. Already 300 fields of 38′×38′ have been observed in Hα with a spatial resolution of 9″×9″, covering almost the entire fourth quadrant of the Galactic plane, and numerous discrete HII regions have been detected, as well as diffuse emission which is widely distributed. Also, the Magellanic Clouds have been studied using the same instrument.

In this study, the maximum and smallest vertical principle stresses σ1 and σ3 as well as maximum shear stress τmax distributions, obtained from Mohr circle in each quadrant, are used to investigate the applicability of various ductile material failure theories. Based on the yield tensile stress σyt equals to yield compressive stress σyc (σyt=σyc=σy) and the known practical yield shear stress and yield stress ratio τy/σy=0.42~0.75 of ductile materials, we prove that the maximum vertical stress failure theory cannot be applied to the first quadrant (σ1>σ3≧0) as well as the third quadrant (σ3<σ1≦0) while τy/σy< 0.5, and it does also not applicable to the second or fourth quadrant (σ1>0 and σ3<0). In this study, the modified maximum shear stress failure line can be fit all ductile material depending on τy/σy=0.42~0.75 in all quadrants, thus the more reasonable results can be obtained.

A model of drillstring system dynamics was derived based on the drillstring’s Dynamics Equation, System Dynamics Theory and the optimization of absorber’s stiffness and installation site. A numerical calculation approach for solving drillstring system and bit movement was presented according to the drilling parameters. And this paper employed the simulation calculations to analyze and optimize absorber’s stiffness and installation site on different conditions. The results show that the absorber’s stiffness has significant impact on the movement frequencies of bit in the fourth quadrant when the bit next to the borehole wall drills ahead, and absorber has preferable ability of controlling deflection under stiffness for 3950kN/m and 6200kN/m; while the installation site of absorber has acute influence on the bit movement in the first quadrant, the third quadrant and the fourth quadrant, and the optimum position of the absorber is 0.6m distant from the bit. Parameters of absorber’s stiffness and installation site recommended in this study could improve the effectiveness of penetration and are good for controlling deflection and well path.
