This study’s purpose was to describe the disaster preparedness of licensed private veterinary practitioners in Mississippi. A mail survey was distributed assessing disaster training, response plans, and disaster-related organization knowledge. Individuals who have experienced a disaster are more likely to have a personal plan, a clinic plan, or both than those who have not. County residence along the Mississippi Gulf Coast showed 3.62 times likelihood of having a personal plan and 3.09 times likelihood of having a clinic plan than those in other districts. Many veterinarians failed to identify their local emergency management agency as their point of contact in a disaster situation, and few indicated having disaster education materials for their clients. Twenty percent of respondents indicated having obtained formal disaster training. More than two-thirds of respondents were interested in disaster training.

This is a book about the forty-four years my father has spent as a veterinarian. The book begins with his life growing up on a Nebraska farm and describes how he decided to become a veterinarian. I detail some of the most memorable times in his life, such as serving as a veterinarian in the Air Force and starting out in private practice. Readers will be introduced to some of the characters he has met along the way -- both human and animal -- and to controversies in the ever-changing world of veterinary medicine.

Den här avhandlingen handlar om kvinnors företagande i en profession stadd i förändring. Flera professioner i Sverige, men också internationellt, präglas av en ökad andel kvinnor men även av de strukturella omvandlingar som under 1900-talet lett från ett industri- till ett tjänstesamhälle. Ett ökat småföretagande är en annan förändring som uppkommit under senare år. I föreliggande studie beskrivs och analyseras kvinnors företagande inom en profession utifrån vad som sker i skärningspunkten mellan företagande, profession och genus. Ett tydligt exempel i Sverige på en profession stadd i förändring är veterinärprofessionen som de senaste 50 åren genomgått en rad förändringar. Den teoretiska referensramen består av en kombination av teorier om småföretagande, profession och genus. Det empiriska materialet består av intervjuer med samtliga veterinärer som är företagare och kvinnor i Östergötland. I avhandlingen myntas begreppet professionsföretagare med avsikt att synliggöra samspelet mellan företagande och profession. Studiens resultat visar att professionen i många fall prioriteras framför företagandet. Professionsföretagarna gör genus på skilda sätt i olika dimensioner och på olika nivåer. Det är stabilitet i hur genus görs på generell nivå medan genus på specifik nivå görs på ett sätt som i vissa dimensioner utmanar genussystemet. Även om stabilitet är dominerande visar studien exempel på att professionsföretagande skapar förutsättningar för vissa glipor i genussystemets mönster. / This thesis is about women’s business ownership within a profession in a state of flux. Several professions in Sweden but also internationally are characterized by an increased proportion of women and structural transformations during the 1900s. An increase in businesses is another change that occurred in recent years. The study describes and analyzes women’s business ownership within a profession and a particular focus is placed on the intersection between business ownership, profession and gender. An example of a profession in a state of change in Sweden is the veterinary profession, which for the past 50 years have undergone a series of changes. A theoretical combination of small business ownership, profession and gender is used. The empirical material consists of interviews with all women who are business owners and veterinarians in Östergötland County. As a result of the study I coin the term profeneurs with the intention of making visible the interplay between business ownership and profession. The results of the study show that the profession is in many cases given priority over business ownership. Furthermore, the study shows that the profeneurs do gender at different levels and in different dimensions in relation to the profession. There is stability in how gender is done at a general level, while there are opportunities for change in how gender is done at a specific level. Even if stability dominates, business format provides opportunities to create some gaps in the pattern of the gender system.

Concebendo a ciência enquanto construção social, apartamo-nos do ideário de neutralidade e imparcialidade. A discussão da legitimidade da homeopatia no campo científico está associada ao dissenso, remetendo a um conflito histórico. O presente trabalho avalia qualitativa e quantitativamente a presença da homeopatia nas faculdades de medicina veterinária do Brasil. Na perspectiva de currículo como território de disputas, analisamos a tensão entre discurso homeopático e medicina científica, duas epistemes distintas. Foram investigadas as atividades relacionadas com homeopatia: disciplina obrigatória, disciplina optativa, atendimento clínico e pesquisa acadêmica. Os resultados demonstram que a homeopatia é ofertada em 20,1% das faculdades de medicina veterinárias do país. Outrossim, seu oferecimento é heterogêneo. Verifica-se uma discrepância entre currículo formal e currículo real: a ausência da homeopatia nos currículos justifica-se pela carência de médicos veterinários homeopatas no contexto acadêmico. Iniciativas pessoais são motivadores das atividades homeopáticas encontradas nos currículos acadêmicos. Entretanto, sua institucionalização é frágil. Concluímos que a posição subsidiária da homeopatia no âmbito acadêmico justifica-se à medida que diverge da construção epistemológica da medicina científica / Conceiving science as a social construction, we remove the ideals of neutrality and impartiality. The discussion of Homeopathy's legitimacy in the scientific field is associated with dissent, referring to a historical conflict. This study evaluates qualitatively and quantitatively the presence of homeopathy in Brazilian veterinary medical schools. In curriculum perspective as territorial disputes, we analyze the tension between the homeopathy's discourse and scientific medicine, two distinct epistemes. These activities related to homeopathy were investigated: compulsory subject, elective subject, clinical care and academic research. The results show that homeopathy is offered in 20.1% of veterinary medical schools in the country. Furthermore, its offer is heterogeneous. There is a discrepancy between the formal and the real curriculum: the absence of homeopathy in the curriculum is justified by the lack of homeopathic veterinarians in the academic context. Personal initiatives are motivators of homeopathic activities found in academic curriculums. However, its institutionalization is fragile. We conclude that the homeopathy's subsidiary position in the academic field is justified as it diverges from the epistemological construction of scientific medicine

Made up of professionals from different areas of knowledge, it must act interactively, supporting the professional from the Family Health Strategy Team (ESF) and sharing the practices and knowledge about health in the areas under their responsability. The veterinarian can be part of the NASF team, but there are few towns which included this professional, as well as the amount of NASF units in Brazil. This thesis was thought in order to provide subsidies for the proposal of a NASF deployment with the insertion of this professional, using as a basis for study the city of Machado/MG. The main demands in health were checked through a check-list to the community health agents (ACS), nurses and nurse assistants from the ESF teams and the evaluation of the number of cats and dogs as well as their reproductive profile. Two questionnaires were developed and applied for the analysis of the population and the ACS’s perception about zoonosis, especially rabies, the analysis of the ESF health professionals’ perception about the Primary Care Structure, the veterinarian role in the Public Health in both moments of the research. The main detected demands in human health were diabetes, hypertension, obesity, sexually transmitted diseases, alcoholism, drugs use, early pregnancy and accumulators. Regarding the environmental and animals related conditions, we can point out the accumulation of trash, breeding spots of mosquitos, the presence of cats and dogs on the streets, as well as synanthropic animals, mainly doves, rats and ticks, and agressions caused by dogs or cats. The canine and feline population was also estimated in 10.300 animals, from which only 5% are castrated. The questionnaires analysis show that the population and the ACS know little about the veterinarian activities in the Public Health. The Health professionals have a better perception, but not satisfactory, and the problems in the human and animal health interfaces in the environmental context are varied. Therefore, it’s intended to create a NASF Team Modality 1, with a veterinarian included in it, taking part directly to the sanitary measures, which are essential for the Primary Care, inside the paradigm “One world, one health”. / O Núcleo de Apoio à Saúde da Família (NASF) foi criado para ampliar a abrangência e o escopo das ações da Atenção Básica e aumentar sua resolubilidade. Composto por profissionais de diferentes áreas de conhecimento, este deve atuar de maneira integrada apoiando os profissionais das equipes de Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) e compartilhando as práticas e saberes em saúde nos territórios sob sua responsabilidade. O médico veterinário pode compor a equipe do NASF, mas ainda são poucos os municípios que incluíram esse profissional, assim como a quantidade de NASF’s no Brasil. Este trabalho foi idealizado com o objetivo de oferecer subsídios para a proposta de implantação de um NASF com inserção deste profissional utilizando como base de estudo o Município de Machado/MG. Foram verificadas as principais demandas em saúde por meio de aplicação de um check-list aos agentes comunitários de saúde (ACS), enfermeiros e auxiliares de enfermagem das equipes de ESF e avaliação do número de cães e gatos e seu perfil reprodutivo; dois questionários foram desenvolvidos e aplicados para análise da percepção da população e dos ACS sobre zoonoses, em especial a raiva, análise da percepção dos profissionais de saúde atuantes na ESF sobre a estrutura da Atenção Básica, e percepção sobre o papel do médico veterinário na saúde pública, em ambos os momentos da pesquisa. As principais demandas em saúde humana detectadas foram diabetes, hipertensão, obesidade, doenças sexualmente transmissíveis, alcoolismo, uso de drogas, gravidez precoce e acumuladores. Quanto às condições ambientais e as que envolvem animais destacam-se acúmulo de lixo, criadouros de mosquitos, presença cães e gatos nas ruas, presença de animais sinantrópicos, principalmente pombos, ratos e carrapatos, e agressões por cão ou gato. Também foi estimada a população canina/felina em 10.300 animais; apenas 5% são castrados. A análise dos questionários mostra que as pessoas e os ACS conhecem pouco sobre as atividades do médico veterinário na Saúde Pública; os profissionais de saúde têm uma percepção melhor, mas não satisfatória; e os problemas nas interfaces da saúde humana e animal no contexto ambiental, são variados. Portanto, propõe-se a criação de uma equipe de NASF modalidade 1 com um médico veterinário inserido na equipe participando diretamente das ações sanitárias, as quais são fundamentais para efetivar a Atenção Básica, dentro do paradigma “Um mundo, uma Saúde”.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Oliveira_RenataCabrerade_M.pdf: 696928 bytes, checksum: 7026171fdbd90be240a19f0afb58a12c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009 / Resumo: A presença de resíduos de medicamentos veterinários em níveis acima dos limites máximos (LMR) estabelecidos apresentam riscos à saúde humana. O conhecimento da dimensão da exposição da população a esses compostos é necessário para garantir a proteção do consumidor. Para tanto, é imprescindível que métodos de análise validados estejam disponíveis, para assegurar a confiabilidade dos resultados. O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver e validar métodos analíticos para a determinação de resíduos de estreptomicina e diidroestreptomicina em leite e empregá-los na análise de amostras comercializadas na região de Campinas, São Paulo. Os métodos analíticos desenvolvidos e validados incluem o ensaio imunoenzimático (ELISA) e a cromatografia líquida associada à espectrometria de massas em tandem (LCMS/MS QToF). A validação analítica foi realizada de acordo com as recomendações da Comunidade Européia e IUPAC. Os seguintes parâmetros foram avaliados: seletividade, curva analítica, linearidade, sensibilidade, precisão (repetibilidade intra e inter-dias), exatidão e limites de detecção e de quantificação. Os resultados do procedimento de validação dos métodos de ELISA e LC-MS/MS demonstraram que estes são adequados para a análise de triagem e confirmatória, respectivamente, de resíduos de estreptomicina e diidroestreptomicina em leite pasteurizado, em níveis de concentração inferiores ao LMR estabelecido para essas substâncias (200 µg kg-1). Nas amostras analisadas não foram encontrados resíduos de estreptomicina e diidroestreptomicina em níveis detectáveis / Abstract: Veterinary drugs pose a risk to human health when there residual levels in foods exceed the maximum residue limit (MRL). Knowledge of the extent of human exposure to these compounds is necessary to provide consumer protection. To achieve this, it is essential that validated analytical methods are available to ensure reliable results. The aim of the present work was to develop and validate analytical methods for the analysis of streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin residues in milk, and to employ these methods for analysis of samples marketed in the region of Campinas, São Paulo. The developed and/or validated methods include enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) and liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS QToF). Method validation was performed according to the recommendations established by European Community and IUPAC. The following parameters were evaluated: analytical curve, linearity, sensitivity, precision (intra and inter-day repeatability), accuracy and the detection and quantification limits. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of ELISA and LCMS/MS methods for trial and confirmatory analyses, respectively, of streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin in milk at concentrations below the established MRL (200µg kg-1). In the analyzed samples streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin were not found at detectable levels / Mestrado / Mestre em Ciência de Alimentos

Parce qu'elle en constitue le point le plus important, la conformité est la notion la plus fondamentale à étudier lorsqu'il est question du régime juridique des ventes de chevaux de sport. En effet, la perception de ses contours et de son contenu diffère selon les catégories de professionnels impliqués dans de telles opérations. Les juristes interprètent très largement la conformité telle qu'issue de la théorie du droit de la consommation, ou plus exactement du droit à la consommation. Les vétérinaires la voit plutôt comme un frein à l'exercice serein de leur pratique au cours de l'expertise vétérinaire de transaction. Comment se prononcer sur la conformité d'un animal, être vivant avant tout autre chose ? Comment attester que le cheval sera durablement conforme à ce qu'en attend son nouveau propriétaire ? Les vendeurs de chevaux s'inquiètent de plus en plus des conséquences d'un retour aux écuries d'un cheval devenu difficile à vendre et des effets de la résolution de la vente sur la trésorerie de l'élevage. La question essentielle est surtout de savoir ce que recouvre la conformité ? Est-il possible d'en avoir une définition commune à l'ensemble des protagonistes des ventes de chevaux de sport ? L'usage est-il le seul critère déterminant la conformité du cheval ? Enfin et surtout, est-il souhaitable que perdure l'application du droit de la consommation aux transactions d'animaux, et donc de chevaux ? En effet, l'intérêt des professionnels de la vente d'animaux ne réside-t-il pas dans l'exclusion de l'animal du régime des biens de consommation ? / Conformity is the most fundamental element to be studied when it's reffered to the legal regim of horse trade. Indeed, its contour lines and its matter are different by socio-professionnal categorie involved in these kind of operations. Lawyers have a broad interpretation of conformity derived from consumer law, or more exactly the right to consume. Veterinarians see conformity as a break to their own professional practice of purchase exams. How to certify an animal, a living being before anything else ? How certify a sports horse will be complied with its new owner's expectations ? Horse salers are more and more worried about the consequence of a back to the stables of an unsaleable horse and about effects of sale agreement's resolution on the stud-farm cash position. The essential question is what constitutes conformity. Is it possible to have a common definition of conformity between the protagonists of sports horse sales ? Is the use the only determining criterion of conformity in sports horse sales ? Finally and espacially, is it good to continue to apply consumer law to sports horse sales ? Indeed, the interests of veterinarians and breeders is it not to exclude animals from consumer goods ?
