The relationship between equine pastern dermatitis, meteorological factors, and the skin microbiota
No full textBACKGROUND: Equine pastern dermatitis (EPD) is a multifactorial syndrome, with prolonged exposure to moisture assumed to be a predisposing or primary factor. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES: To examine the course of EPD lesion severity, changes in bacterial skin microbiota, and the influence of meteorological factors. ANIMALS: Prospective, longitudinal cohort study over a one‐year period, with six Franches‐Montagnes stallions, four affected by EPD and two unaffected, that were kept under the same conditions. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Pasterns were scored for lesion severity and sampled once a month for 12 consecutive months. Lesion severity, the skin microbiota and meteorological factors were examined for associations. RESULTS: EPD lesions tended to worsen in autumn and at the beginning of spring. The relationship between lesion severity and the meteorological factor precipitation was not clearly evident; high scores were preceded by both low or high rates of precipitation. Microbiota in affected pasterns appeared to have experienced a reduction in alpha diversity. Beta diversity analyses demonstrated that bacterial community structures were altered in affected versus unaffected pasterns, and that alterations were more pronounced with higher EPD scores (P = 0.005). Meteorological factors also had considerable influences on the bacterial composition, whereby these influences appeared to be more marked in the affected pasterns (P = 0.001, F = 3.19) than in unaffected ones (P = 0.005, F = 1.83). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Our study provides preliminary observations of the relationships between lesion severity, meteorological factors and cutaneous bacteria. The population was too small to draw firm conclusions, and further studies on environmental factors and the involvement of bacteria in this multifactorial disease are needed
Increase of body temperature immediately after ovulation in mares
No full textTo successfully inseminate mares, precise detection of ovulation time is crucial, especially when using frozen-thawed semen. Monitoring body temperature, as has been described in women, could be a noninvasive way to detect ovulation. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the time of ovulation and the variation of body temperature in mares based on automatic continuous measurements during estrus. The experimental group included 21 mares for 70 analyzed estrous cycles. When the mares showed estrous behavior, they were administered intramuscular deslorelin acetate (2.25 mg) in the evening. At the same time, monitoring of body temperature using a sensor device fixed at the left lateral thorax was started and continued for over 60 hours. In 2-hour intervals, transrectal ultrasonography was performed to detect ovulation. Estimated body temperature in the 6 hours following ovulation detection was on average 0.06°C +/- 0.05°C (mean +/- SD) significantly higher when compared with body temperature at the same time on the preceding day (P = .01). In addition, a significant effect of PGF2α administration for estrus induction on the body temperature was found, being significantly higher until 6 hours before ovulation compared to that of uninduced cycles (P = .005). In conclusion, changes in body temperature during estrus in mares were related to ovulation. The increase in body temperature immediately after ovulation might be used in the future to establish automatized and noninvasive systems to detect ovulation. However, the identified temperature rise is relatively small on average and hardly identifiable in the individual mares
The influence of clinical severity and topical antimicrobial treatment on bacteriological culture and the microbiota of equine pastern dermatitis.
No full textBACKGROUND
Equine pastern dermatitis (EPD) is a common dermatological problem in horses, yet its aetiology and pathogenesis are poorly understood.
OBJECTIVES
This study aimed to investigate the effects of lesion severity and topical antimicrobial treatment on bacterial flora of EPD-affected skin.
ANIMALS
Sixteen horses with EPD were investigated.
METHODS AND MATERIALS
An observational study was conducted by assigning a clinical severity score ranging from 0 (macroscopically nonlesional) to 21 (severe), and sampling the most and least severely affected limbs of 16 horses (32 limbs) for bacteriological culture and 16S rRNA sequencing. Topical antimicrobial treatment in the month before sampling was recorded. The limbs were allocated to a nonlesional or mildly affected group (Group A, score 0-3) and a moderate to severely affected group (Group B, score 4-21).
RESULTS
The most commonly cultured bacterial species was Staphylococcus aureus (one of 15 Group A versus nine of 17 Group B). Within Group B, S. aureus was found in three of six limbs treated with topical antimicrobials and in six of 11 untreated limbs. β-haemolytic streptococci (three of 32) and Trueperella pyogenes (two of 32) also were cultured exclusively in the untreated limbs of Group B. Staphylococci and streptococci were found more often by 16S rRNA sequencing than in culture. Limbs with higher lesion severity and topical antimicrobial treatment appeared to have a lower alpha diversity and different beta diversity compared to milder and untreated lesions.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE
Observed differences in microbiota of equine skin are likely to be linked to the presence and severity of EPD and topical antimicrobial treatment. Further research is needed to establish causal bacteria
A novel methodology for e-learning space design in HEI campuses
No full textA thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Wolverhampton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.The Higher Education Institution and the Construction Industry are yet to define the most appropriate and effective design parameters for E-learning spaces. Those which exist, focus mainly on cost, budget and timely delivery i.e. the process only not the product. An effective approach to E-learning space design is needed to address the problems of space efficiency, effectiveness, quality, innovativeness, performance and client satisfaction. This study aimed to develop a novel methodology for e-learning space design, by investigating: the impact of e-learning on facilities and design; the impact of e-learning on the design of future spaces; the impact of blended learning on space design; designing for the learn anytime, anywhere paradigm; security issues of e-learning and e-learning space design, the levels of design risk in an e-learning infrastructure and inclusive design issues. A Grounded theory approach was used during initial desk studies, synchronized with a three part forum and pilot survey of 33participants. From this process, two hypotheses emerged; firstly, e-learning space design could affect users‘ learning outcomes and secondly that; user‘s learning requirements were different and varied. To investigate further, site based analyses of 11 HEI‘s, 10 interviews and subsequently a questionnaire survey was administered. Users‘ and stakeholders requirements and good examples of e-learning space design were identified. Data were analysed using a mixed-method research design approach. Three main constructs, Space design, Technology and the E-learning Space Design research focus (ELSD focus), emerged as significant components in the development of a novel framework for the design of e-learning spaces. The relationship between the components is such that the design of spaces with consideration of the ELSD research focus would ensure the effective identification, interpretation and delivery of users‘ requirement while maximising the benefits of the adoption of appropriate technology within HEI facilities. This was therefore proposed as the realistic framework/model for future design of E- learning Spaces in HEI campuses. The framework was adapted into a conceptual design guide to provide guidance for future space design. It is expected the study will support the HEI sector globally as it moves towards achieving best practice solutions to future E-learning space design in HEI campuses

M-learning and student engagement: Factors that support students' engagement in m-learning
No full textMobile learning (m-learning) is learning that takes place in a variety of contexts, within and beyond traditional learning environments, utilising any type of mobile device. The availability of mobile devices with the potential to be used in university education has vastly increased over the past decade, and therefore m-learning has become increasingly common in university settings. M-learning is usually supported by a mobile device which offers some level of mobile connectivity to learning resources or access to communication technologies, or both, and can facilitate or support learning. M-learning thus involves participating in learning activities not confined to a set place or time.
In some institutions, m-learning has been encouraged through initiatives such as laptop programs, but often m-learning occurs incidentally with students utilising laptops and other mobile devices that they have acquired to help them with their studies.
Despite attempts by these institutions to develop such laptop programs, there have been limited resources on how to integrate m-learning into tertiary education for use by lecturers who have the desire to tap into the possibilities of taking advantage of students’ ad hoc access to laptops and other mobile devices. Models with practical applicability to m-learning have been slow to emerge, and very few practical guidelines are available for educators on the effective implementation of mobile devices in university teaching and learning, and lecturers are often left guessing as to what might promote students’ engagement in m-learning.
The aim of this study was to gain an understanding of the factors that influence students’ engagement in m-learning, specifically where mobile devices facilitate engagement in both learning activities (M-learning Task Engagement) and interaction with others (Online Social Engagement) in ways that contribute to learning outcomes (e.g. ACER, 2010; Coates, 2006; Kearsley & Shneiderman, 1998). A secondary aim was to identify what motivates students to use laptops for learning. Finally, the study aimed to develop a new m-learning design model and guidelines for lecturers developing learning designs for use in m-learning contexts.
The study included both formal m-learning and laptop programs, and classes where laptop use is ad hoc driven mostly by students’ personal needs. The research was conducted using seven case studies at three Australian universities. In one case, students were participating in a laptop program; in two cases, tablet computers were used in classroom settings; and in four cases, students’ use of laptops was based on student ownership and personal initiative. Data were collected by two surveys: one to gather students’ perceptions of their m-learning experiences and the other focussing on lecturers’ perceptions of m-learning.
The research explored what may motivate students to use their laptops and engage in m-learning. As could be expected, mobility was the key motivator for the use of laptops, and the learning tasks that students found to be most motivating involved accessing information, authoring (e.g. writing, blogging, note taking) and communication. Other categories of motivators identified in this study were: student productivity; performance outcomes; the learning experience; information access; the lecturer; entertainment; and social interaction.
The results of this study indicated that both Online Social Engagement and M-learning Task Engagement were influenced by students’ Goal Orientation. Online Social Engagement was also influenced by Technology Focus, which is learners’ orientation towards utilising technologies for learning. Students’ Perceived Mobility also influenced engagement in m-learning, but specifically in the area of M-Learning Task Engagement.
The results of this research led to a model and guidelines for lecturers planning to implement m-learning in a student-centred learning context which maximises students’ engagement in m-learning. The m-learning design model and guidelines lead lecturers towards considering student motivators for m-learning and the factors that influence students’ engagement in m-learning. The resulting learning designs, that address students’ requirements for mobility, and mesh with their Goal Orientation and Technology Focus, are therefore likely to contribute towards both M-Learning Task and Online Social Engagement in m-learning.
The outcomes of this study have important practical implications for educators and institutions as they provide a planned approach to integrating the use of mobile technologies in the curriculum with the aim of achieving increased engagement in learning
