Texto completoABSTRACT - The use of medical cannabis in veterinary species is an area of growing interest, largely due to the therapeutic benefits observed in human medicine and the ever-closer bond between humans and their pets. Yet, there is very little research on the effects of cannabis in animals and the legal status for veterinary drugs containing cannabis is unclear. Veterinarians play a pivotal role in advising tutors, making it important to characterize the panorama of the Portuguese veterinary profession in the face of these new therapies. This study used three anonymous online surveys to evaluate the attitudes, beliefs and knowledge about medical cannabis among veterinary physicians, veterinary students and owners of dogs with canine atopic dermatitis (CAD). A secondary goal was to recruit patients for a future clinical trial on the use of cannabis as an adjunctive therapy to CAD. There were 138 responses on the veterinarians’ survey, 331 on the students’ survey and 358 on the atopic dog owners’ survey. Veterinarians didn’t feel very knowledgeable concerning the differences between marijuana and hemp or the toxic effects of both marijuana and hemp, but most felt confident about the therapeutic uses of hemp. Most vets and students believed cannabis could be useful in veterinary medicine, while owners were unsure. Over 60% of veterinarians claimed to have experience with medical cannabis in dogs, and the conditions for which they prescribed it the most were chronic pain, anxiety and inflammation. Only 6% of the owners had already purchased a cannabis product for their pet, most frequently for a dermatological condition, anxiety or chronic pain. Of those, most said they had acquired the product on the internet and the top reason for purchase was that it was prescribed by a vet. Both owners and vets perceived the products as moderately or highly effective and only 10% reported mild side effects. Over half of the veterinarians had a low level of concern regarding the safety and side effects of cannabis, while most owners were moderate or highly concerned. Both veterinarians and students were highly supportive of veterinary training and research on medical cannabis. 204 emails were collected from owners potentially interested in participating on the clinical trial on the use of cannabis in CAD. Most participants agreed that medical cannabis may offer benefits in veterinary medicine and were supportive of further clinical research. Still, clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of cannabis in veterinary species are urgently needed. It is imperative that veterinarians and students receive formal training on medical cannabis to properly advise their clients.
RESUMO - O uso de cannabis medicinal em medicina veterinária é uma área de crescente interesse, principalmente devido aos benefícios observados em medicina humana e ao estreito laço afetivo entre tutor e animal de companhia. No entanto, escasseiam estudos sobre os efeitos da cannabis medicinal em animais, para além de que o seu enquadramento legal é ainda pouco claro. O médico veterinário desempenha um papel fulcral no aconselhamento dos detentores, tornando-se importante caracterizar o panorama da classe médico-veterinária portuguesa face a estas novas terapêuticas. Assim, foram desenvolvidos três questionários, online e anónimos, direcionados a médicos veterinários, estudantes de medicina veterinária e detentores de cães com dermatite atópica canina (CAD), de forma a avaliar as suas atitudes, crenças e conhecimentos acerca da cannabis medicinal. O último grupo foi escolhido com o objetivo secundário de recrutar pacientes para um futuro ensaio clínico em CAD. Obtiveram-se 138 respostas de veterinários, 331 de estudantes e 358 de detentores. Os veterinários revelaram falta de conhecimento quanto às diferenças entre marijuana e cânhamo e aos seus efeitos tóxicos. A maioria, no entanto, considerou saber bastante sobre as aplicações terapêuticas do cânhamo. A maior parte dos veterinários e estudantes considerou que a cannabis pode ser útil em medicina veterinária, ao passo que os detentores se mostraram mais reticentes. Mais de 60% dos veterinários disse ter experiência no uso de cannabis no cão, principalmente para dor crónica, ansiedade e inflamação. Apenas 6% dos detentores disse já ter adquirido um produto à base de cannabis para o seu cão e as condições mais citadas foram problemas dermatológicos, ansiedade e dor crónica. Destes, a maioria disse ter comprado o produto na Internet e o principal motivo foi ter sido prescrito pelo veterinário. Tanto veterinários como detentores consideraram os produtos moderada ou altamente eficazes, e apenas 10% relatou efeitos secundários leves. A generalidade dos veterinários mostrou-se pouco preocupada acerca da segurança e efeitos secundários da cannabis, contrariamente aos detentores. Tanto veterinários como estudantes apoiaram fortemente a formação médico-veterinária e investigação clínica em cannabis medicinal. Foram recolhidos 204 emails de detentores potencialmente interessados em integrar o ensaio clínico em CAD. A generalidade dos participantes considerou que a cannabis pode oferecer benefícios em medicina veterinária. Ainda assim, são urgentes ensaios clínicos que avaliem a eficácia e segurança da cannabis em espécies veterinárias. É imperativo que veterinários e estudantes recebam formação em cannabis medicinal, de forma a aconselhar adequadamente os detentores.

Texto completoThe purpose of this ethnographic study was to gain deeper knowledge of how dog owners interact with their dogs and how they ascribe gender roles on their dogs in social interaction. The study was based on participant observation with dog owners and their dogs when they visited a dog resting area in a medium sized city in Sweden. The study was conducted with a symbolic interactionist perspective, and from a social constructivist gender perspective, which states that the individual is created through social interactions. The results showed that many dog owners have expectations for how their dogs should behave according to human gender roles. It was more accepted that a female dog displayed a stereotypical male behavior than a male displaying stereotypically feminine behaviors. The female dog owners tended to treat their dogs like children, while men tended to treat the dogs as their friends and displayed a more stoic relationship to the dogs. The study also showed that dog owners happily describe their dogs in gendered terms, which are based on human perceptions. The analysis concentrates on the interplay between dog owners and their dogs to increase understanding of how dog owners ascribe gender roles to their dogs.

Texto completoStereotypes are common ways for human beings to simplify and facilitate situations they face in their surroundings. Despite the advantages of simplyfied living, stereotypes could lead to negative consequences, such as discrimination or exclusion. This study investigated Swedes ideas regarding typical owners of five different dog breeds (labrador, poodle, pitbull, dachshund and chihuahua). The aim of the study was to examine whether stereotypes exist regarding swedish dog owners, and if these stereotypes differ between dog owners and non dog owners. The study was performed using a questionnaire which was posted om Facebook. 120 persons participated, 27 men and 93 women. The participants were between 18 and 60 years old (mean=29,6 Sd=9,6). Each participant was asked to answer several questions regarding their idea of typical dog owners of the five breeds, and then grade how well they agreed to twelve statements regarding acceptance of stereotypes in general. At the end of the questionnaire, the participant answered background questions such as age, gender, level of education, if they themselves were dog owners and their attitude towards dogs in general. The results show that stereotypes exist in great extent regarding the appearance of owners to different breeds. There was not much difference between the two groups when it came to stereotypical thinking. Regarding acceptance for stereotypes in general this study showed that the participants show a low degree of acceptance, which is interesting because they at the same time showed stereotypical thinking when they answered the questions about the different breeds. This study has shown that stereotypical thinking most likely occurs regarding owners of certain breeds. To sensitize stereotypes occurrence may be an important aspect to reduce the risk of further stereotypes.

Texto completoIl presente progetto di ricerca indaga gli effetti dell’età senile su aspetti pertinenti alla sfera cognitiva ed emozionale della relazione cane-proprietario. A tal fine sono stati condotti tre studi indipendenti, incentrati su: a) la rilevazione di deficit cognitivi legati all’età, b) la valutazione delle capacità di attenzione sociale selettiva in cani adulti e anziani e c) gli effetti dell’età anziana e del decadimento cognitivo sulle manifestazioni di attaccamento al proprietario. Benché l’esistenza di un declino cognitivo età-dipendente sia un’evenienza riconosciuta in medicina veterinaria, problemi di carattere metodologico hanno limitato la produzione scientifica su questo aspetto dell’invecchiamento nel cane da compagnia. Nel tentativo di ovviare a queste limitazioni, nel primo studio (pp. 10-47), è presentato lo sviluppo di un nuovo metodo per la rilevazione di deficit cognitivi legati nel cane anziano. Il metodo si basa su un approccio multiplo, che combina l’uso di scale di valutazione cognitiva, basate su questionari (Cognitive Evaluation Scale, CES) con la valutazione diretta delle capacità memoniche e di ‘apprendimento inverso’ dei cani in un test di cognizione spaziale. L’applicazione di questi metodi a una popolazione di cani da compagnia adulti e anziani è esitata nella rilevazione di differenze significative tra i due gruppi di età. I cani anziani ottengono punteggi peggiori nella scala di valutazione cognitiva e mostrano compromesse capacità di apprendimento nel test di cognizione spaziale. La correlazione tra i due parametri rappresenta un’importante indicazione della validità del metodo. Paragonato ad altri strumenti attualmente disponibili, questo approccio potrebbe garantire maggiore sensibilità e specificità, apportando un importante vantaggio pratico, sia in ambito di ricerca, che quale strumento di valutazione diagnostica in ambito clinico veterinario. Un ulteriore aspetto che ha ricevuto scarso interesse scientifico nel cane è l’attenzione rivolta all’uomo, un fenomeno che potrebbe rivestire un ruolo critico nell’espressione di capacità socio-cognitive e nell’integrazione del cane in gruppi sociali misti. In assenza di metodi appropriati, è stato sviluppato un test comportamentale per la valutazione delle caratteristiche quantitative e qualitative dell’attenzione selettiva del cane in un contesto interspecifico. Nella prima parte di questo secondo lavoro (pp. 48-75), presento lo sviluppo e la validazione di questa procedura, effettuata su un campione di cani adulti. I risultati mostrano una risposta selettiva nell’attenzione che i cani rivolgono al proprietario o a una persona estranea, cui sono simultaneamente esposti. Inoltre, il protocollo permette di discriminare forme di attenzione ‘attiva’ (con il coinvolgimento di processi cognitivi) e ‘passiva’ (cioè il semplice orientamento visivo). L’applicazione di questo metodo a un campione di cani anziani, nella seconda parte dello studio, ha rivelato un effetto negativo dell’età anziana sul livello di attenzione selettiva rivolta al proprietario. I cani anziani, inoltre, dimostrano una maggiore propensione per forme di attenzione ‘passiva’ essendo meno in grado, rispetto agli adulti, di ritenere informazioni riguardo allo stimolo sociale all’uscita di questo dal campo visivo. Nel terzo studio (pp. 75-98) è stato affrontato l’effetto dell’età anziana sulla qualità del legame emotivo cane-proprietario. In studi precedenti il legame cane-proprietario è stato assimilato all’attaccamento infante-madre. L’attaccamento definisce un legame duraturo con uno specifico individuo, che si manifesta attraverso comportamenti espressi in condizioni di stress. Benché ricerca in ambito umano abbia dimostrato la rilevanza della sfera affettivo-emotiva nella salvaguardia del benessere delle persone anziane, questo aspetto risulta scarsamente investigato nella specie canina. Nel presente studio il legame cane-proprietario è stato studiato mediante lo Strange Situation Test, un protocollo originalmente sviluppato per evidenziare comportamenti di attaccamento nel bambino in età infantile. I risultati mostrano come l’età anziana non alteri le manifestazioni comportamentali di attaccamento ‘sicuro’ (sicurezza in presenza e stress alla separazione dal proprietario). Tuttavia si evidenzia nel cane anziano un’alterazione nell’espressione di altri comportamenti (gioco e comportamento passivo), che potrebbero riflettere una diversa dimensione emotiva dell’attaccamento (insicuro-ambivalente). Poiché parte dei cani inclusi in questo studio avevano preso parte anche ai precedenti studi, quando i dati lo consentivano è stato indagato l’effetto del declino cognitivo e di differenze nelle capacità attentive sull’espressione dell’attaccamento cane-proprietario.

Texto completoThe aim of this study was to form a understanding for how a project by the police, the Nos-project, may work to prevent crime. We also examined dog owners that are involved in the NOS-project and their attitude towards crime prevention. The study is based on the theory of neighborhood watch and features the theory of social control and the theory of routine activity. Through six semi structured interviews we learned how the NOS-project may prevent crime through dog owners’ observations of unusual activity in their district. The results also show how all our participants had a positive attitude towards the NOSproject which we regard likely contributes to the projects ability to prevent crime.

Texto completoApresenta-se um estudo transversal, que incluiu 80 canídeos vítimas de atropelamento, presentes na Clínica Veterinária Azevet entre Janeiro de 2005 e Janeiro de 2008. Este trabalho teve como objectivo conhecer as circunstâncias que envolvem os atropelamentos de canídeos, nomeadamente quais as potenciais situações de risco. Destes, 48 eram machos e 32 eram fêmeas, com idades compreendidas entre os 2 meses e os 16 anos (média 5,1 anos). A maioria dos cães eram de raça indeterminada (65%) e os restantes pertenciam a 18 raças diferentes (35%). Foi durante o Outono que ocorreram mais atropelamentos (25/80, 31,3%), sendo Março e Novembro os meses com mais acidentes (10 cada um). Registou-se uma maior concentração entre as 19 e as 21 horas (17, 21,3%). A 3ª e a 6ª feira foram os dias com maior número de atropelamentos (15, 18,9% cada um). Quanto à luminosidade, 47/77 (61%) ocorreram durante o dia e 30/77 (39%) durante a noite. A maioria dos acidentes ocorreram na via pública (69/80, 86,3%) e destes 62/69 (89,9%) tiveram lugar junto a casa. Tinham livre acesso à rua 16/80 (20%) animais. Foram atropelados em propriedade privada 11/80 (13,8%) canídeos, tendo em todos estes casos, sido levado a cabo pelos proprietários. Existia história prévia de atropelamento em 4 (5%) animais. A trela nunca era utilizada em 40 (50%) canídeos, 30 só a utilizavam esporadicamente e 10 disseram utilizá-la sempre. Na altura do acidente 42 (52,5%) animais estavam acompanhados pelo proprietário, enquanto que 31 (38,8%) estavam sozinhos. Os restantes 7 (8,8%) estavam acompanhados por outras pessoas que não o dono. Em 30 (37,5%) casos, os proprietários reportaram a fuga dos animais previamente ao acidente. Os principais factores de risco assentam no facto das disposições legais em vigor não serem cumpridas no que diz respeito às medidas de contenção a utilizar nos espaços públicos, nomeadamente o uso de trela, e a proibição de os animais vaguearem sozinhos na rua. Assim sendo, os planos de prevenção devem incluir uma forte vertente de educação dos proprietários, associado a uma acção fiscalizadora e punitiva dos infractores.
ABSTRACT - DOGS HIT BY MOTOR VEHICLES - A cross-sectional study of dogs hit by motor vehicles, presented at veterinary clinic Azevet, between January of 2005 and January of 2008 was conducted with the objective of knowing the characteristics involving this kind of accident, namely the potential risk factors. From the 80 dogs observed, 48 were male and 32 female. Their ages ranged from 2 months to 16 years (mean age, 5,1 years). Most animals were crossbreds (65%) and the rest were purebreds (35%) comprising 18 different breeds. A larger number of cases occurred in the Fall (25/80, 31,3%). March and November (10 each) and Tuesday and Friday (17 each) were the months and days with more accidents. Most accidents took place between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. (21,3%) and during the day (61%). 86,3% of accidents happened in public streets, most of them near home (89.9%). 20% of the dogs had free access to the exterior. The remaining of the animals were ran over by their owners in private property (11/80, 13,8%). Four dogs had a previous history of this kind of accident. 40 of the dogs studied never wore a leash, 30 used it sporadically and only 10 were said to use it always. At the time of the accident 42 (52,5%) animals were accompanied by their owner, 31 (38,8%) were alone, and 7 (8,8%) were with someone other than the owner. Although none of them were wearing a leash at the time of the accident, 13/80 (16,3%) owners reported that their dogs had taken the leash of loose shortly before the accident. The main risk factors identified in this study were the non-compliance with leash laws, and the existence of free-roaming dogs, animals allowed to roam in public unsupervised and unaccompanied by their owners. Therefore any prevention plan should include a strong component of owner education, associated with more efficient control and punishment of noncompliers.

Texto completoA responsabilidade dos proprietários de animais de companhia é uma preocupação nas áreas do bem-estar animal e da saúde pública. Embora tenham sido realizados estudos sobre trauma em animais de companhia, estes incidem sobre a caracterização do mesmo ou os seus factores de risco, não existindo até à data estudos que relacionem o trauma com o nível de responsabilidade dos proprietários e o incumprimento de normas legais. O objectivo deste estudo baseia-se na motivaão de realizar um trabalho neste tema pouco retratado e incentivar a realização de estudos futuros mais abrangentes. Desta forma será possível promover um melhor conhecimento da população no que respeita à responsabilidade dos proprietários e elaborar planos multidisciplinares de prevenção e educação dos mesmos. Este trabalho consistiu num estudo de casos e controlos, a partir de uma amostra recolhida na clínica Azevet e no Hospital Escolar da Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária de Lisboa, entre Dezembro de 2010 e Abril de 2011, tendo como base questionários anónimos feitos a proprietários de cães e gatos. Os casos dizem respeito a animais que tenham sofrido trauma na via pública. Utilizou-se estatística descritiva e testagem de hipóteses, esta última com um grau de confiança de 95%. Foram analisados neste estudo 102 animais, dos quais 60 canídeos, distribuídos por 37 casos de controlo e 23 casos de trauma. Os restantes 42 animais pertencem à espécie felina, com 22 casos de controlo e 20 de trauma. Adicionalmente foi proposta uma classificação dos níveis de responsabilidade para proprietários de canídeos, tendo em conta os parametros legais exigidos. O mesmo não foi possível efectuar para os proprietários de felídeos devido às diferenças encontradas na legislação, a qual é bastante mais permissiva no que diz respeito a esta espécie. No presente estudo não foram encontrados factores de risco no que respeita à especie felina. Por outro lado, na espécie canina foram encontrados como factores de risco para a ocorrência de trauma um menor nível de escolaridade e um menor nível de responsabilidade por parte dos proprietários, enquanto que uma idade mais jovem dos donos se revela como factor de protecção. Adicionalmente, ter um menor nível de escolaridade surge como factor de risco para uma menor responsabilidade. Os resultados demonstram que um proprietário menos responsável torna o animal de companhia mais predisposto a trauma. Com base na regresão logística verificou-se que a responsabilidade é a variável que permanece significativa, sendo os parametros relativos ao acompanhamento do animal à via pública e à permanencia da contenção no passeio os mais relevantes. Como procedimentos futuros de prevenção sugerem-se a sanção dos infractores mas também a criação de condições que permitam e motivem os proprietários a cumprir a legislação.
ABSTRACT - The relationship between the failure of pet owners to comply with the law and the occurrence of trauma in public areas - The responsibility of pet owners is a welfare and public health issue. Although studies regarding trauma have been conducted, those only focus on trauma characteristics and the risk factors. To the best of our knowledge, there are no studies relating trauma to the owner’s level of responsibility and the failure to comply with the laws. This thesis aims to open a new path to this subject, encouraging further study in this field. Such studies will provide a better understanding about the population in terms of owners’ responsibility and will allow the elaboration of multi-disciplinary strategies of prevention and the education of owners. Moreover, this is a case-control study based on a sample collected in the Azevet practice and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Hospital, from December 2010 to April 2011, using questionnaires directed to cat and dog owners. The cases of this study consisted of animals which had been traumatised in public areas. Descriptive statistic and hypothesis testing were used, with a 95% confidence interval for the latter. These tests were performed in order to verify the existence of any significant difference among the two groups or among the different levels of responsibility. One hundred and two animals were analysed in this study, 60 of which were dogs, consisting of 37 control cases and 23 trauma cases. The remaining 42 animals were cats, composed of 22 control cases and 20 trauma cases. A responsibility level classification is proposed for the dog owners taking into account the imposed legal parameters. The same was not possible for the cat owners due to the fact that laws concerning this species are much more permissive. It this study it was not found any risk factor for the feline species. Otherwise, for the canine species it was found that a lower level of education and a lower level of responsibility of the owners were risk factors for trauma, whereas a younger age of the owner was a protection factor. Furthermore, a lower level of education was found to be a risk factor for lower responsibility among the owners. Finally, the results demonstrate that a less responsible owner predisposes his dog to trauma. The logistic regression analysis showed that the responsibility is the variable that remains signifitcative, with the parameters related to the accompaniment of the animals during the walks and the permanent use of leash being the most important. As future preventive procedures it is suggested the penalty of the offenders as well as the creation of suitable conditions that would motivate owners to abide by the law.

Texto completoAo tratar os cães de uma forma empírica, existe a possibilidade de dois cenários indesejáveis acontecerem: os cães que apresentam um alto risco de infeção zoonótica não são corretamente controlados e os cães que apresentam um risco zoonótico praticamente nulo, estão a fazer tratamentos anti-helmínticos desnecessários. Este estudo foi direcionado para determinar a prevalência de parasitas gastrointestinais e pulmonares em cães com proprietário na cidade de Vila Franca de Xira, avaliar a presença de fatores que possam estar ligados a um maior risco de transmissão de doenças parasitárias zoonóticas e que protocolos de prevenção, nomeadamente para endoparasitas, são utilizados nos cães examinados. Através do método de flutuação (Willis), de Baermann e esfregaço fecal (coloração de Ziehl-Neelsen modificada) foram analisadas 80 amostras para pesquisa de endoparasitas gastrointestinais e pulmonares. Foram também preenchidos presencialmente 80 inquéritos pelos respetivos proprietários. A prevalência global de parasitas gastrointestinais e pulmonares foi de 5,0%. Foram observadas amostras positivas a Ancylostoma sp. (1/80); Angiostrongylus vasorum (1/80); Cystoisospora spp. (2/80); Toxocara canis (1/80) e Trichuris vulpis (1/80). Dois animais infetados apresentavam infeções parasitárias mistas, ambos por nemátodes. Relativamente a comportamentos de potencial risco zoonótico, 27,5% (22/80) dos cães exibia algum tipo de picacismo, 17,5% (14/80) ingeria fezes; 83,3% (65/80) lambia a cara do proprietário e 42,3% (33/78) dormia com ele. Dos 80 cães examinados, apenas 3,8% (3/80) dos cães não eram desparasitados internamente, ainda que apenas 51,4% (37/72) seguissem o protocolo de controlo de parasitoses internas, aconselhado pelo médico-veterinário de quatro desparasitações anuais, considerado como o limiar mínimo de eficácia na prevenção de endoparasitoses zoonóticas pela ESCCAP. Atendendo a que muitas pessoas ainda não têm a informação e conhecimento necessários sobre os métodos mais eficazes de controlo de doenças parasitárias, sendo este desconhecimento mais relevante nas zoonóticas, é necessário criar medidas para tornar esta informação mais disponível e acessível ao grande público, quer aumentando a intervenção do Médico Veterinário durante a consulta, quer referenciando mais plataformas com conhecimento idóneo e gratuita, como as da ESCCAP.
ABSTRACT - Internal parasites and deworm frequency of dogs in Vila Franca de Xira, Portugal - By deworming dogs empirically, two scenarios can happen: Dogs that are in a high risk state of zoonotic infection are not correctly controlled and dogs that have an almost null zoonotic infection risk, are being unnecessarily treated with anthelmintics. The purpose of this study was to determine parasitic gastrointestinal and pulmonary prevalence in dogs in Vila Franca de Xira city, which factors may be connected to a bigger zoonotic pressure in the transmission of parasitic diseases and what endoparasitic prevention protocols are the dogs following. Using Baermann and a flotation (Willis) method, a fecal smear (modified Ziehl-Neelsen stain), 80 samples were analyzed for gastrointestinal and pulmonary parasites. 80 surveys were filled by the dogs` owners. The global prevalence of gastrointestinal and pulmonary parasites was 5,0%. Positive samples of Ancylostoma sp. (1/80); Angiostrongylus vasorum (1/80); Cystoisospora sp. (2/80); Toxocara canis (1/80) and Trichuris vulpis (1/80) were found. Two infected dogs had endoparasitic co-infections, both by nematodes. Regarding potential high risk zoonotic behaviors, 27,5% (22/80) of dogs had some type of pica; 17,5% (14/80) ate feces; 83,3% (65/80) licked their owners` face and 42,3% (33/78) slept with its owner. Of the eighty dogs examined, only 3,8% (3/80) weren`t dewormed and only 51,4% (37/72) followed the veterinarians advised deworming protocol of four deworms a year, considered by the ESCCAP the minimal acceptable deworming schedule to prevent endoparasitic zoonoses in dogs. Considering that most people lack the knowledge or information needed to be able to control parasitic diseases, and that this lack of awareness is even more relevant on the zoonotic ones, it is necessary to create measures, that increase the availability of information to the public. This can be achieved by veterinarians spending more time educating pet owners during appointments or by referencing more platforms known of correct and free information, as the information provided by ESCCAP.

Texto completoBackground: Within canine rehabilitation, underwater treadmill (UWTM) is used as an exercise for dogs. The UWTM enables adjustments in the exercise for the canine patient depending on the individual needs. So far, quantitative research has studied the effects of training using an UWTM within animal physiotherapy. However, there is today no qualitative research concerning how trai- ning with UWTM works during the training session. Purpose: Investigate the dog-owners’ experience of UWTM exercise in their dogs. Design: Qualitative inductive design. Semi-structured interviews of five dog-owners with dogs who have trained with an UWTM at least 2 sessions the last 6 months. For data analysis, a qualitative content analysis was conducted. Results: Based on the research question of the study, three themes and ten categories were identified. 1) Experienced attitudes in dogs performing UWTM exercise with the categories covert behaviours, overt behaviours, motivation during the sessions, learning. 2) Interplay between dog- dog owner-physical therapist, with the categories indivudalized exercise, interaction between dog and physical therapist, interaction between dog and owner. 3) The relationship between dog training and UWTM in rehabilitation purpose, with the categories UWTM as prophylaxis, the effect of mental training on UWTM, no connections. Conclusion: The dog owners perceptions were that their dogs had both positive and negative attitudes concerning the exercise with UWTM. The dogs attitudes were affected by the interaction between dog- dog owner- physiotherapist and the dogs everyday training. This study may lead to further development of the individualized rehabilitation in animal physiotherapy.

Texto completoA avaliação da dor nos animais de companhia é complexa e desafiante, existindo poucos estudos relativos à dor oncológica. O objectivo deste estudo consistiu pois na investigação de possíveis indicadores da qualidade de vida e bem-estar em doentes oncológicos caninos pela avaliação dessa qualidade, da dor e da actividade da PON1 (paraoxonase tipo 1). Neste estudo foram incluídos 28 doentes oncológicos caninos, seguidos ao longo do tempo, durante os tratamentos instituídos. Em cada visita do doente foi solicitado aos cuidadores que avaliassem a qualidade de vida e bem-estar do seu animal essencialmente por parâmetros comportamentais. Ao mesmo tempo foi avaliada a dor oncológica utilizando para a sua classificação a Escala Composta da Dor de Glasgow (ECDG). Foram ainda realizadas colheitas de sangue para a análise da actividade sérica da PON1 por método espectrofotométrico, adaptado dos trabalhos de Tvarijonaviciute et al. (2012). Um mês após o diagnóstico verificaram-se decréscimos na actividade da PON1 em 18 doentes, enquanto nos restantes 10, a actividade desta aumentou, o que revelou uma correlação positiva com a qualidade de vida e bem-estar. Por comparação das pontuações dos blocos temáticos, 2 a 2, verificou-se uma correlação positiva do bloco da mobilidade com o cardiovascular, o respiratório, a higiene, a dor e o estado mental. Este último parâmetro apresentou correlação positiva com o bloco temático da felicidade. Verificou-se ainda uma correlação negativa entre a dor e a qualidade de vida do animal. Apesar da ECDG ser usada, essencialmente, na avaliação da dor aguda, foi aplicada com sucesso na determinação da dor dos doentes oncológicos. Através da curva de sobrevivência de Kaplan-Meier, verificou-se uma tendência para o prognóstico ser pior no grupo com valores de PON1 inferiores comparado com o do grupo com valores de actividade enzimática mais elevados. No estudo existiram limitações, como o período curto em que decorreu o que limitou a dimensão da amostra, assim como a heterogeneidade (tipo de neoplasias) da mesma. De futuro, o ideal seria que se dispusesse de uma amostra maior e mais homogénea, de um tempo maior do estudo e de reavaliações após término do tratamento. Os resultados sugerem que, a avaliação da qualidade de vida, a análise da actividade da PON1 e o uso da ECDG, podem ser parâmetros úteis que facilitam a tomada de decisões durante o tratamento da doença oncológica, pois não requerem exames complementares adicionais.
ABSTRACT - Pain evaluation in companion animals is complex and challenging, with few studies relating to oncologic pain. The objective of this study was to investigate possible indicators of quality of life and welfare in canine oncologic patients by evaluating their quality of life, pain and the activity of PON1 (paraoxonase type 1). In this study, 28 canine oncologic patients were included and followed throughout a period of time time during prescribed treatments. In each visit the owner of the patient was requested to assess the quality of life and welfare of their animal using essentially behaviour parameters. At the same time oncologic pain was assessed using the Glasgow Composite Pain Scale (GCPS). Blood samples were also collected to measure the serum activity of PON1, using a spectrophotometric method adapted from Tvarijonaviciute et al. (2012). One month after the diagnosis, PON1’s activity had decreased, in 18 patients, while in the remaining 10 it increased, showing to have a positive correlation with quality of life and welfare. By comparing scores of paired theme blocks, it was possible to demonstrate a positive correlation between the mobility one and the cardiovascular, respiratory, hygiene, pain and mental state blocks. The latter showed a positive correlation with the happiness one. There was also a negative correlation between pain and the animal's life quality. Despite the GCPS being used mainly for acute pain, it was successfully applied in the assessment of pain in oncologic patients. On a Kaplan-Meier survival curve there was a tendency for a worse prognosis in the group with lower PON1 values when compared to the one with higher enzymatic activity levels. There were several limitations to this study, such as the short period of assessment that limited the sample dimension, as well as the heterogeneity (type of neoplasia) of the sample. In the future, the ideally would be to study a larger, homogenous sample for a longer period of time and perform reassessments after finishing the treatments. However, the results obtained suggest that the evaluation of the quality of life, the analysis of the PON1 activity and the use of the GCPS could be useful parameters to help in decision making during the treatment of oncologic disease, as they don't require additional complementary tests.

State-owned companies are often considered as crucial components of a country’s economy. They are responsible for the creation of numerous jobs and are often providing essential services that require heavy capital investment. However, in countries with weak institutions where the accountability of politicians is poor and the management of SOEs’ financial resources undergo little control, officials are often inclined towards corruption. Huge amounts of public funds are easily diverted, and money which should have been invested in capital expenditure, in paying back company debt or in increasing shareholder return, are used to increase private patrimony or illegally fund political parties. Company performance suffers from such divestments as parts of the company’s profits are not reinvested in the company and as managers’ incentives are unaligned with shareholder interests. Petrobras, Latin America’s biggest company in terms of assets and annual revenues, suffered in 2014 and 2015 from an immense corruption scandal the economic impact of which is considerable, as investor confidence in Brazil weakened following the event. The scandal exposed an extensive corruption scheme through which contractors were colluding to increase prices of construction contracts, with the approval of Petrobras’ management who required in return either personal gains or funds for the Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT). The exposure of the scandal in the Brazilian press has had a great impact on Petrobras’ credibility as a firm: the company’s accounts were hiding immense irregularities as it had been paying too much for construction contracts which weren’t priced at market value. Throughout this paper, we will use the example of Petrobras to illustrate how corruption within State-Owned companies undermines company’s performance and how it impacts the company’s various stakeholders.
As empresas estatais são freqüentemente consideradas como componentes cruciais da economia de um país. Eles são responsáveis pela criação de vários postos de trabalho e proveem serviços essenciais que exigem um grande investimento de capital. Porém, em países com instituições fracas, onde a responsabilidade dos políticos é limitada e a gestão dos recursos financeiros das empresas estatais sofre pouco controle, os funcionários são muitas vezes tentados pela corrupção. Enormes quantidades de fundos públicos são facilmente desviados, e dinheiro que deveria ter sido investido nas despesas de capital, no pagamento de dívida da empresa ou no aumento do retorno para os acionistas, é usado para aumentar a riqueza privada de indivíduos ou para financiar ilegalmente partidos políticos. O desempenho da empresa sofre com essas alienações visto que parte dos lucros da empresa não são reinvestidos na empresa e dado que incentivos dos gestores estão desalinhados com os interesses dos acionistas. Petrobras, a maior empresa da América Latina em termos de ativos e receitas anuais, sofreu em 2014 e 2015 um escândalo de corrupção imenso, cujo impacto económico foi considerável, levando ao enfraquecimento da confiança de muitos investidores no Brasil após o evento. O escândalo expôs um extenso esquema de corrupção através do qual os contratantes foram conspirando para aumentar os preços de contratos de construção, com a aprovação da administração da Petrobras que pediu em troca ganhos pessoais ou fundos para o Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT). A exposição do escândalo na imprensa brasileira teve um grande impacto sobre a credibilidade da Petrobras: as contas da empresa estavam escondendo imensas irregularidades dado que a empresa tinha pago demais para os contratos de construção que não foram precificados no valor do mercado. Ao longo deste estudo, usamos o exemplo da Petrobras para ilustrar como a corrupção dentro empresas estatais prejudica o desempenho da empresa e como ela afeta as várias partes interessadas da empresa.

Texto completoThis study\'s aim is to analyze the small business owner-manager\'s work regarding the public civil construction sector grounded on Mintzberg\'s managerial roles and its possibility to describe the owner-manager\'s work. Small businesses are vital to a country\'s economy. Likewise, the civil construction industry contributes to a high GDP percentage in Brazil and other countries as well, whether developed or not. Although these two topics are relevant areas of study - civil construction industry and small business - its integration is not very much understood. A sistematic mapping was conducted in the first phase. The used database, in which the articles are indexed, established the state of art for the research theme: small business owner-manager. To analyze the research question, a structured questionnaire was created. It was divided in two fundamental parts. The first one to obtain qualitative data (nominal and ordinal) and quantitative (discrete and continuous). The second one to indentify the incidence of one of each Mintzberg\'s ten managerial work roles using a categorical response model, the five point Likert scale. The sample consists in 39 (n=39) small business owner-managers who worked in public civil construction in a Federal bureau between the years of 2013 and 2015 by bidding. The data analysis was performed by the mean and frequencies obteined and by comparison between variables - first part of the questionnaire and the owner-managers roles - using an analysis variance (ANOVA). Findings reveal that the small business owner-managers perform roles grounded on interpersonal and decision making levels. The leader and leaison roles, at the interpersonal level, and the resource allocator and negociator roles, at the decision making level, are the ones the owner-managers spend more time performing. The owner-manager\'s age (for leaison and disseminator roles), the organizational configuration (for the disseminator role), the percentage of the signed contratcs within the Public Administration with the total of the signed contracts between a year period (for the spokesperson role) and the business financial capacity (for the spokesperson role) are statistically significant, showing direct relationship with the response variable - the owner-mager\'s work. The results also support that Mintzberg\'s managerial rolles is able to explain the small business owner-manager\'s work, verified by means and frequencies and the ANOVA comparison. This study contibutes to a deeper and integrated understanding about the small business owner-manager in the public civil construction sector.

A participação dos trabalhadores nas decisões das corporações tem sido evidenciada na literatura acadêmica como solução para uma democratização das relações de trabalho e para que o processo decisório leve em consideração os interesses dos trabalhadores. O objetivo deste estudo é refletir sobre as práticas participativas cotejando a literatura com a percepção dos empregados egressos no PDV de uma empresa brasileira de economia mista. Em termos metodológicos, a pesquisa se fundamentou em extenso levantamento bibliográfico de modo a apoiar a construção de um instrumento de um roteiro de entrevistas para aplicação junto a 32 empregados egressos, sem condições de aposentadoria, de uma empresa brasileira de economia mista. Como principais resultados, foi evidenciado que quanto maior o nível hierárquico da decisão, mais limitada era a participação dos trabalhadores; as práticas participativas da empresa não proporcionavam mudanças sistêmicas; as limitações na participação influenciaram a saída e provocaram impactos deletérios sobre o egressos; foram observados indícios de discriminação na participação dos trabalhadores, principalmente por gênero; os impactos da participação observados na literatura convergiram com impressão dos entrevistados; as condições para participação verificadas na literatura eram insuficientes na empresa; foram apontados como principais pontos de melhoria a maior efetividade dos mecanismos de consulta e melhor preparo dos empregados e gestores, sendo que uma parte almejava o gerenciamento conjunto das decisões. Complementarmente, foram identificados 39 subatributos inéditos da gestão participativa no estudo empírico, além dos 34 observados na literatura.
The participation of workers in corporate decisions has been evidenced in the academic literature as a solution for a democratization of labor relations and for the decision-making process to take workers' interests into account. The objective of this study is to reflect on the participative practices comparing the literature with the perception of the egress employees of a brazilian state-owned company. In methodological terms, the research was based on an extensive bibliographical survey in order to support the elaboration of an interview questionnaire for application to 32 employees who left the company without retirement conditions, of a brazilian state-owned company. As main results, it was evidenced that the higher the hierarchical level of the decision, the more limited was the participation of the workers; the participative practices of the company did not provide systemic changes; the limitations in participation influenced the exit and caused deleterious impacts on the egress; evidence of discrimination in the participation of workers was observed, mainly by gender; the impacts of participation observed in the literature converged with the interviewees' impression; the conditions for participation verified in the literature were insufficient in the company; the main effectiveness points of the consultation mechanisms and the better preparation of employees and managers were pointed out as main points of improvement, and one part aimed at joint management of decisions. In addition, 39 unpublished sub-attributes of participatory management in the empirical study were identified, in addition to the 34 observed in the literature.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of dog ownership and environmental factors on physical activity (PA) of dog owners. METHODS: Subjects were over the age of 18 living around Great Taipei Area. The experimental group consisted of 32 novice dog owners, while the control group was formed using a sex- and age- matched sample of 32 non-owners. The Questionnaire of Physical Activity and Environmental Factor for Dog Owners and Non-owners was formed which consisted of three subscales including first, the Perceived Environmental Factors for Walking (PEFW); second, the Neighborhood Physical Activity Questionnaire (NPAQ ), and lastly the Dog and Physical Activity questionnaire (DAPA). The PEFW was developed by a panel of experts using Delphi Method and pilot tested by 188 dog owner and non-owners, while the NPAQ and DAPA were translated and evaluated their relevance by a group expert after authorized by the authors of NPAQ and DAPA. Subjects were completed the aforementioned questionnaire at baseline and after 2 months of dog adoption for dog owners. RESULTS: At baseline, there were no significant differences between dog owners and non-owners across all categories of PA in neighborhood and non- neighborhood, transportation and leisure time, walking and biking, as well as PA in moderate and vigorous intensity. However, Dog owners had significant greater time in leisure-time walking, total walking time, and moderate and vigorous intensity PA than non-owners. Dog owners had a significant more time in leisure-time walking and total walking time after intervention. Environmental comfortableness held the highest score to influence walking among dog owners. Perceived environmental factor as a whole significantly impact dog owners in reaching the 150 min/week recommendation. Among all environmental factors, traffic safety was the most influential factors of all in reaching that recommendation.

Sensory analysis techniques play a key role in the pet food industry to ensure the final product meets both the pets’ and pet owners’ demands and expectations. To date, the study of the pet owners’ perception towards pet foods is still an emerging field of study and a few number of publications have been released on the topic. In particular, little research has been conducted on exploring the pet owners’ perception regarding the appearance of pet foods. The objective of this work is to study the effect of the visual characteristics of dry dog food on the acceptability and perception by consumer segments of dog owners in the US and in Poland and to explore whether differences exist within countries and across the two countries. For this purpose, dog owners in both locations evaluated the appearance of thirty dry dog food samples with varying visual properties. The participants rated their degree of acceptability towards the appearance of the samples with four different attributes using 9-point hedonic scales. Also, the consumers were asked to associate each one of the samples with a list of positive and negative beliefs on a check-all-that-apply question. Cluster Analysis, ANOVA, and Correspondence Analysis were used to analyze the consumer feedback. The results demonstrate that the acceptability of the appearance of dry dog food is affected by the number of different kibbles present, color(s), shape(s), and size(s) in the product. Similarities were found both within countries and across countries and consumer segments. Consumers overall showed a preference for single-kibble samples of medium brown colors, medium kibble sizes, low-dimensional contrast kibbles and traditional kibble shapes. Furthermore, extra-small or extra-large sized kibble sizes and kibble shapes with a high-dimensional contrast were rejected by the consumers overall. In addition, differences across consumer segments within countries and across countries were identified from the results. The findings indicate that this topic have possibly been overlooked and opportunities for further research on this field are identified. Dry dog food manufacturers should take special consideration with the appearance of their products to enhance the acceptability by dog owners. The outcome of this work can help to drive dry dog food companies meet consumers’ needs and demands in a constantly changing pet food market, with benefits anticipated to the pet food industry and the wellbeing of dog owners.

This thesis is to investigate the influences of personal traits of dog owners and the relationship between dog and human on purchase intention. The pet industry market in the whole world is developing in these recent years. According to the statistics data provided by World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), the most rapid growth in this industry would be the pet products market. Apparently, the economy of Taiwan is growing rapidly, and the society is developing continuously. Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan estimated that the growth of the industry would be increasing to 7.9billion Taiwan Dollars and 9.3billion Taiwan Dollars in 2015. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were applied in this research. To be more specific, interview with dog owners were conducted and online questionnaires were distributed to dog owners from Taiwan and Malaysia respectively. A total of 200 copies of online questionnaires were distributed. Results suggested that there are significant differences for the products purchased by the owners from two different countries. Thus, various factors such as distinct culture and environment between two countries should be taken into consideration, as these could be the impact on the behavior of dog owners. Keywords: Personal Traits, Dog Owners, Attachment, Purchase Intention

Nowadays, People love their pets as much as loving their kids. With the fast change in the industry, population structure and the growth of the Internet makes people become more and more unfamiliar with each other. The increasing loneliness leading people to keep a pet with watery eyes and one-hand body. It’s the best placebo in this strange society. Looking back at the histories of dogs, People chose a healthy, active and strong dog for supporting humans activities like hunting, guarding, transporting and grazing...etc. As nobles in Middle Ages indulged in hunting, the social status of hounds soon skyrocketed. On the other hand, tiny, cute puppies were also found in old paintings as a decoration and a company for the upper class. Such situations keep continuing to nowadays, people keep dogs with cute faces, watery eyes and tiny bodies instead of strong and active dogs. What they really need in this city jungle is a spiritual commitment; a puppy can release their tense during work, a puppy can make them smile. Dogs can be seen in many art works. For example, As you can see from the paintings in ancient and modern, there’s always a dog accompanying people by their side or the main character of the work. For example, the painting of Madame de Pompadour and her black curly hair puppy by Francois Boucher. The hound staring and accompanying the host in Thomas Gainsboroug’s work Mr. and Mrs. Andrews. There’s even a dog room full of the portraits of the dog in Lobkowicz Palace, Prague. Starting from the 19th centry, people are affected with the trend of purebred and dog competitions. Mix were abandoned due to their “appearance condition.” What if the purebred didn’t have the superior appearance condition ? Will people still love them? It’s just sign of social class and another kind of vision of this world. The thesis include 6 chapters. Chapter 1 : by describing the emotional attachment of people and dogs to bring out the research motivation and purpose - conditions of humans to raise dogs. Chapter 2 : from the close relationship between humans and dogs to trace back trends as well as humans desire and expectation toward pure breed. And discuss the dogs in the artworks. Chapter 3 : elaborate the concept of works. The strong attraction of dog’s appearance led to people’s favor of pure breed and Mix. And extend to humans’ strong desire and intervention toward dog’s appearance. Chapter 4 : Media, techniques and features. Chapter 5 : Work description Chapter 6 : Conclusion

Physical activity and individuals’ health are closely related. Although there are many ways of increasing the amount of physical activity, dog walking is one of the most pragmatic approaches. The main purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between companion dog owners’ dog walking and the amount of physical activity. A questionnaire was conducted of companion dog owners from Pingtung and the surrounding townships. The total number of valid questionnaires received was 193. Of the respondents, 70 were male and 123 were female. The data received was analyzed using SPSS 18.0 for windows and was tested using methods including descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson’s product-moment correlation, Spearman’s rank correlation, and multiple regression analysis for the verification of hypotheses. Results showed that dog walking is the main form of physical activity for dog owners. They walk their dogs less than two times per day and more than 20 minutes each time. The time that older owners spend walking their dogs is significantly longer than younger owners. Based on the results, it can be inferred that dog walking is indeed one of the main forms of physical activity of companion dog owners, and this is more evident in the middle and older age groups. According to the results, the researcher proposed relevant suggestions to provide a reference for health promotion organizations and future researchers.
