A study was conducted to evaluate the therapeutic efficiency of "Valsyn- Gel," a furaltadone-containing preparation, in the control of mastitic infections. Two hundred and thirteen quarters were randomly treated with the preparations used in the evaluation study. Treatment-efficiency percentages for Valsyn-Gel were 89.5, 78.9, 78.9, and 78.9 for 10, 19, 20, and 21 days posttreatment. Percentages for two other preparations, oxytetracycline and chlortetracyclinc neomycin, varied from 100 for the 10-day posttreatment check to 81.3 for the 21-day posttreatment observation.

Further studies on the evaluation of "Valsyn-Gel" were carried out, using both sterile and nonsterile preparations of this drug and comparing it with a drug of choice currently used in mastitis control. The object of the study was to obtain a clearer idea of the time-lapse between the treatment of a quarter until organisms showed again, by taking a series of samples of each treated quarter obtained consecutively at 3-day intervals up to 21 days posttreatment. Results showed that the therapeutic efficiency of the nonsterile product ranged from 86.4 percent 3 days after treatment to 63.6 percent 21 days after treatment. With the sterile product the efficiency ranged from 72.7 to 50.0 percent. The drug of choice, a chlortetracycline ointment, showed a higher efficiency than either of the two other products as evaluated. Nevertheless, it seems apparent that the preparations had a high therapeutic value for the first 9 to 12 days following treatment.

Summary In this paper, conceptual and methodological problems of school program evaluation are discussed. The data were collected in conjunction with a 10 year cross-sectional/longitudinal investigation with partial inclusion of control groups. The experiences and conclusions resulting from this long-term study are revealing not only from the vantage point of the scientific evaluation of new scholastic models, but are also valuable for program evaluation studies in general, particularly in the field of gifted education.

Abstract. We examined the effect of presenting unknown policy statements on German parties’ election posters. Study 1 showed that participants inferred the quality of a presented policy from knowledge about the respective political party. Study 2 showed that participants’ own political preferences influenced valence estimates: policy statements presented on campaign posters of liked political parties were rated significantly more positive than those presented on posters of disliked political parties. Study 3 replicated the findings of Study 2 with an additional measure of participants’ need for cognition. Need for cognition scores were unrelated to the valence transfer from political parties to policy evaluation. Study 4 replicated the findings of Studies 2 and 3 with an additional measure of participants’ voting intentions. Voting intentions were a significant predictor for valence transfer. Participants credited both their individually liked and disliked political parties for supporting the two unknown policies. However, the credit attributed to the liked party was significantly higher than to the disliked one. Study 5 replicated the findings of Studies 2, 3, and 4. Additionally, participants evaluated political clubs that were associated with the same policies previously presented on election posters. Here, a second-degree transfer emerged: from party valence to policy evaluation and from policy evaluation to club evaluation. Implications of the presented studies for policy communications and election campaigning are discussed.

This study was performed to evaluate the efficiency of tapioca processing wastewater treatment using aerobic biofilter with variety of biofilter media: coir, coal, PVC plastic and Bio - Ball BB15 plastic. Research results in the lab demonstrated all four aerobic biofilter models processed can treated completely N and COD which COD reached 90-98% and N reached 61-92%, respectively, at the organic loading rates in range of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 kgCOD/m3.day. The results identified coir filter was the best in four researched materials with removal COD and specific substract utilization rate can reach 98%, and 0.6 kg COD/kgVSS.day. Research results open the new prospects for the application of the cheap materials, available for wastewater treatment.
