Social Control in the Road and Urban Environment: Comparative Analysis

Under the aegis of social control theory, this work aims to identify the main differences between police pursuits of vehicles on highways and urban roads. The perceptions of military road police officers in Minas Gerais about the characteristics of vehicle chase occurrences are used, identifying the main differences between vehicle pursuits on highways and in urban areas. The data collection instrument was a semi-structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using statistical tools and content analysis. Among the differences between the pursuit of vehicles in the urban area and on the highways, 6 (six) of them make up a total of 68% of the total differences that emerged. These 6 (six) main differences are as follows: a) vehicle speed; b) characteristics of the roads; c) onlookers – presence of people on the roads; d) risk of accidents; e) characteristics of the siege and blockade operations; f) difficulties in communications

CLASSIFICAÇÃO CLIMÁTICA PARA O SUL DO BRASIL UTILIZANDO O SISTEMA DE HOLDRIDGE (1967) / CLIMATIC CLASSIFICATION FOR SOUTHERN BRAZIL USING HOLDRIDGE (1967) SYSTEM

O objetivo deste trabalho é classificar o clima da região Sul do Brasil utilizando o sistema de classificação climática por zonas de vidas estabelecido por Holdridge (1967). Foram utilizados um sequenciamento de 30 anos (1989-2019) de dados climáticos para região Sul do Brasil obtidos através da plataforma National Aeronautics and Space Administration/Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources – (NASA/POWER). A evapotranspiração potencial (ETP) foi estimada utilizando o método definido por Camargo (1971). Através da combinação entre a precipitação anual, biotemperatura média anual, biotemperatura basal média anual, relação da evapotranspiração, delimitou-se as zonas de vidas para o sistema de Holdridge (1967). A temperatura e precipitação apresentaram médias anuais de 18,58 (± 1,57) °C e 1777 (± 239) mm respectivamente. Foram encontradas doze zonas de vidas para a região Sul, sendo as mais predominantes: Floresta subtropical de montana baixa úmida (31,37%), e Floresta subtropical premontana úmida (32,11%)

Mast cell quantification in the skin of dogs with hormonal dermatosis

The mast cells are important in physiological and pathological skin events. They play an important role in the homeostatic regulatory mechanisms in the skin and thyroid gland. Mast cells present a barrier to difference external environmental stimuli and play a mediating role in the presence of infectious agents under the epidermis. This study aimed to quantify the number of mast cells in histological sections of the skin of healthy dogs and dogs with hypothyroidism and hyperadrenocorticism and to determine the distribution of mast cell numbers in the superficial dermis and deep dermis.  When we compared the total mast cell count per high power field in dogs with hypothyroidism, hyperadrenocorticism and healthy dogs, only dogs with hypothyroidism had a significant difference in the quantification of mast cells per high power field, (p < 0.05). After analyzing our results, it was possible to conclude that animals with hypothyroidism produce greater amount of mast cells in the superficial dermis than patients with hyperadrenocorticism and healthy animals

UNIDADES DA PAISAGEM DA BACIA DO RIO DAS ALMAS, MICRORREGIÃO DE CERES/GO

O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os conflitos do uso da terra com base na compartimentação morfopedológica, delimitadas a partir da sobreposição temática dos elementos do meio físico e uso e ocupação da terra, com finalidade de subsidiar o planejamento do uso da terra na bacia hidrográfica do Rio das Almas, na área abrangida pela Microrregião de Ceres, estado de Goiás. Os procedimentos envolveram trabalho de campo, classificação de imagens e geração de mapas. Os resultados permitiram identificar a incidência de focos de erosão linear nos quatro compartimentos morfopedológicos, em relação aos fatores geológicos, geomorfológicos, pedológicos e padrão de drenagem

Hydronephrosis in a Dog Related to Ovariosalpingohysterectomy

Background: Hydronephrosis is the dilation of the pelvis and renal calyxes due to post-renal obstruction. The obstruction is often associated with extraluminal masses, blood clots and ureter ligation in castration procedures. Ureter ligation is reported as a malpractice. The renal function is reestablished if ligation is rapidly undone, but not for obstructions longer than four weeks. Often, clinical signs are results from months to years after the castration, when nephrectomy is the best therapeutic option. This paper aims to report a case of asymptomatic unilateral hydronephrosis in a 10-year-old dog caused by chronic ureter occlusion with Nylon 3.0 suture during an elective procedure.Case: A 10-year-old female pinscher dog, spayed 3 years ago was admitted at the Surgery Department of the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Jataí (HV-UFJ). The animal was taken for periodontal treatment. In the physical and laboratory examination (complete blood count, hepatic and renal biochemical tests) no significant and noteworthy alterations were found. Ultrasonographic examination showed no changes in the topography and echotexture of the left kidney, however the right kidney was not visualized, with an anechoic structure suggestive of advanced and severe hydronephrosis. Therefore, exploratory laparotomy was proposed to identify the observed structure, with the periodontal treatment considered for a later time. So, a retroumbilical incision was made, followed by linea alba and the removal of simple isolated suture remaining from previous surgical procedure. In the cavity, the viscera were isolated and the left kidney was identified, observing preserved anatomy. On the other hand, the right kidney had altered topography and morphology, being exposed after release of adhesions in adjacent structures. The right renal artery and vein were dissected and a double ligature was made. Then, the right ureter was dissected, observing marked dilatation in the proximal portion and the presence of local ligation with Nylon 3.0. Right ureterectomy and right nephrectomy were performed. After nephrectomy, the capsule was ruptured, observing dark fluid in it and absence of tissue compatible with renal parenchyma. The material was preserved in 10% formaldehyde and sent for histopathological examination. Histopathology revealed risk of rupture of the renal capsule due to the advance of renal degeneration and complete absence of parenchyma. However, contrary to the severity of the histopathological, surgical and ultrasonographic findings, the patient did not present clinical signs at the time of diagnosis.Discussion: In the intraoperative evaluation, the cause of the hydronephrosis was verified to be in fact the ligation of the ureter, which may have been accidental or due to the malpractice of the veterinarian surgeon. Other possible causes such as adhesions and granulomas were ruled out because the Nylon 3.0 suture was found in the proximal portion of the right ureter. It is believed that the patient may have presented clinical signs of hydronephrosis that may have been confused by the tutors as postoperative complications, changes that if identified and performed in time, could have avoided the occurrence or worsening of hydronephrosis and subsequent nephrectomy. Clinically, the bitch did not show clinical signs presented in the literature as consistent with hydronephrosis such as polyuria, polydipsia, abdominalgia, external fistula and anorexia. Therefore, it is believed that this case is one of the first reports of the occurrence of severe hydronephrosis without typical clinical manifestations of hydronephrosis. This fact raises a warning about the thorough monitoring in the postoperative period by owners and veterinarians, in addition to highlighting concerns regarding the occurrence of medical malpractice versus surgical accidents. Keywords: castration, malpractice, nephrectomy, nylon
