Published: February 2025

Purpura fulminans (PF) is a life-threatening dermatological condition characterized by acute purpuric lesions and skin necrosis due to microvascular thrombosis. In adults, PF is most commonly triggered by severe sepsis, particularly caused by Neisseria meningitidis. Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) frequently leads to PF in children but is rare in adults. Early recognition and treatment are essential to avoid severe outcomes. We present a rare case of PF in an adult with IMD, successfully treated without long-term complications. A 32-year-old woman with epilepsy, recently adjusted on higher doses of carbamazepine, presented with fever, vomiting, and convulsions. Her condition worsened with the development of high fever (40°C), hypotension, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Physical examination showed purpuric and petechial skin lesions on her limbs and extremities. Initial differential diagnoses included infectious PF (bacterial, particularly meningococcal or rickettsial), toxic epidermal necrolysis, and vasculitis. Laboratory findings revealed elevated C-reactive protein and neutrophil leukocytosis. Blood cultures confirmed N. meningitidis, and a skin biopsy demonstrated neutrophilic vasculitis with thrombosis consistent with PF. The patient was initially treated with intravenous fluids and empirical antibiotics (cefotaxime and doxycycline). After blood cultures isolated meningococci with sensitivity to cefotaxime, doxycycline was omitted. Despite the initial neurological decline, intensive care management resulted in full recovery. Necrotic skin lesions required specialized wound care and surgical debridement. Chemoprophylaxis was administered to close contacts and healthcare staff. IMD is a serious global health issue, with approximately 1.2 million cases reported annually. PF, a rare but severe complication of IMD, leads to skin necrosis and is associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation. Although predominantly affecting children, PF in adults remains rare, particularly in regions with low incidence of meningococcal disease. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation, laboratory results, and microbial identification. In this case, blood cultures and polymerase chain reaction confirmed N. meningitidis, and the patient responded well to cefotaxime, consistent with known sensitivity patterns. PF is a severe manifestation of meningococcal disease. Early identification and aggressive treatment are critical for favorable outcomes. This case underscores the need for clinical vigilance, a multidisciplinary approach, and the efficacy of timely antibiotic intervention in managing meningococcal infections.

Introduction. The diversified forest sector of Russian economy includes state, market, and corporate mechanisms and methods of management and regulation. The diverse nature of their interests creates challenges and threats to the sustainable development of forest sector, the main of which is the lack of investment due to low investment attractiveness.The goal of the research is to develop methodic and applied provisions of the mechanism of interrelation of investment attractiveness and economic security of forest sector on the basis of reproductive approach.Results. The categories economic security and investment attractiveness are dialectically interdependent. The research results show that the major problems of forest sector of the economy (reduction of forest potential for wood harvesting in the long-exploited areas under extensive models of forest exploitation, underdevelopment of forest and woodworking infrastructures in the heavily forested areas, and high deterioration of basic capital) threaten the economic security of the state and subjects of forest relations. Reduced investment in forest sector due to its low investment attractiveness is the most important source of threats to the economic security of this sector. The type of expanded reproduction of forest sector is the most important condition for ensuring economic security in the national security system through the increased investment. In a market economy, strategic forest management should aim to increase the forest capital through the multi-purpose rational, continuous, sustainable use. Conclusion. Forest sector investment attractiveness is the most important condition for improving the ecological and economic efficiency, safety and social responsibility of forest relations. The methodology for assessing the level of economic security of forest sector of the economy should include the factors (conditions) of investment attractiveness in the system of indicators.

Published: February 2025

New compounds based on heptazine core bearing phenoxazines substituent were synthesized, starting from the easily accessible 2,5,8-tri(3,5-diethyl-1H-pyrazolyl-1-yl)heptazine. The pyrazolyl groups were substituted by one, two, or three phenoxazines, yielding compounds H1, H2, H3. Heptazine (Hz) being an exceptionally strong electron acceptor and the phenoxazines being strong electron donors, these novel compounds are expected to exhibit low-lying singlet and triplet states of pronounced charge-transfer (CT) character. The excited-state electronic structures of these chromophores were investigated with electronic absorption and emission spectroscopies, electrochemical methods, and ab initio electronic-structure calculations. The UV-Vis absorption spectra in the solution were assigned by comparison with computed vertical electronic excitation energies. The absorption spectra exhibit strong transitions to the bright locally-excited 1ππ* state of the Hz core as well as to bright low-lying singlet CT states. The calculations predict that the vertical excitation spectra of all three compounds exhibit singlet-triplet inversion, that is, the lowest singlet state of the Hz core is lower in energy than the lowest triplet states of CT character, albeit the S1 and T1 states are nearly degenerate in H3. When the 0-0 transition energies are considered, on the other hand, the CT states are lowest in energy in all three compounds, and singlet and triplet CT states are nearly degenerate, which is confirmed by stationary and time-resolved spectroscopy in thin solid films. Remarkably, clear emission from the bright locally-excited singlet state of the Hz core is observed in solution in violation of Kasha’s rule. Conversely, luminescence is predicted to occur in thin solid films from the lowest quasi-degenerate singlet and triplet states of CT character.
Information dense and industry scalable accelerated formation

Published: February 2025

Bespoke formation of Batteries offers improved lifetime and performance but is generally associated with long processing times, high cost, and large floorspace. Facile strategies like heating or increasing the formation current, as well as current alterations during formation have their limits in speed up and efficiency. We present pulsed formation on graphitic anode full cells as an accelerated formation strategy and investigate its influence on various quality parameters. Optimized pulsed charging is demonstrated herein to reduce the formation time by more than 50% whilst maintaining or improving all other cell quality parameters including discharge capacity. The newly discovered protocol is scaled up to 25Ah prismatic cells in the PHEV1 format that confirm the accelerated and improved pulsed formation strategy. We attribute the accelerated and improved formation to an apt balance of surface and bulk diffusion which results in thinner, more homogenous SEI. Dynamics of pulsed formation also allow for the extraction of new quality markers while formation is happening.
Synthesis of vinyl- azetidines and beta-lactams from allenamides via energy-transfer relay

Published: February 2025

Azetidines and beta-lactams are useful and versatile building blocks, with ample synthetic applications and pharmaceutical uses. However, few general methods provide densely functionalized monocyclic derivatives, and none could easily afford both azetidines and beta-lactams. Herein, we solved this issue with allenamides. The challenging substrates were activated by energy-transfer combining a tailor-made Ir(III) complex and a binaphthyl co-catalyst, which acts as a triplet-state relay and stabilizes intermediates via dispersion interactions. A triplet intermediate with a vinyl-radical character gives the strained heterocycles upon 1,5 hydrogen-atom-transfer. Products have a congested all-carbon quaternary center and a useful allylamino unit, and are prepared at room temperature with complete atom-economy. The utility of the method is showed by further downstream derivatization.

Interrelation of pentagon tilings and open packings of edge-sharing icosahedra
Authors: Dewar Robert Earl
Published: February 2025

A new method for relating pentagon tilings to open packings of edge-sharing icosahedra is presented. It assumes that the geometric structure of an open packing of icosahedra is in a geometric relationship with one or more tilings of regular pentagons. By following a simple procedure for placing icosahedra into the plane of a pentagon tiling, one can build up layers of an open packing of edge-sharing icosahedra. Once an open packing structure has been determined, its level of complexity can be increased by substituting the icosahedra with other geometric structures that have analogous symmetry. This inevitably leads to the introduction of new dissymmetric elements.
Exploring generative art: form-finding methods and their role in artistic creation
Authors: Nagy Máté
Published: February 2025

The development of information technology, computer-aided design (CAD), and manufacturing has inspired artists to develop new forms of expression in recent decades. Generative art, emerging from the intersection of computer science, mathematics, and human perception, has become a subculture with a dedicated following. However, understanding the methods and meaning behind these often spectacular and enigmatic artworks can be challenging due to a lack of comprehensive literature. Currently, information for creating generative art is primarily disseminated through social media, often blending scientific theory, empirical experimentation, and subcultural traditions.
Binary-genomic numbers and symmetrical regularities in the statistical organization of genomic DNAs
Authors: Petoukhov Sergey V. , Svirin Vitaly I.
Published: February 2025

The article presents new phenomenological regularities of symmetric types in statistical organization of information sequences of single-stranded DNAs in genomes of higher and lower organisms. Binary representations of these DNAs, based on binary-opposition structures in molecular DNA alphabets, are studied. These binary representations of genomic DNAs, which are called binary-genomic numbers (BG-numbers), define huge binary numbers with millions of bits. It is revealed that statistical (probability) organization of BG-numbers possesses internal mirror and fractal-like dichotomous symmetries. In this article, special attention is paid to statistical analysis and symmetries in probability structures of genomic DNAs epichains, which are a regular convolution of the whole DNAs. The received results about general probability regularities in genomic DNAs are discussed in connection with thoughts of P. Jordan and E. Schrodinger on existence of special laws in living nature. The importance of probability regularities in biology is also discussed from different points of view.
Pythagoras and the 13 Sounds of Music
Authors: Veneri Claudio
Published: February 2025

The actual Birth of Scientific Thought is attributed to Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans, a story that today we can reconstruct through "The Fragments of the Pythagoreans". From the 6th-5th century BC of Pythagoras to 500 AD of Severino Boethius, the succession of fragments of the Pythagoreans is the only written testimony that survived the destruction of the fabulous Library of Alexandria, the Temple of Knowledge in Antiquity. The reconstruction of this history, interrupted for almost a thousand years, reappears in the Middle Ages of 1400 and in the sixteenth century Renaissance: the "Quadrivium" represents Music together with Mathematics, Geometry and Astronomy, the Liberal Arts which still coexisted in that era and who apply Pythagorean thought to Art, according to systems that we still commonly use today. The Monochord of Pythagoras and the 13 Sounds of Music, the construction of the "Pythagorean scale" compared with the sounds of the keyboard of a modern piano, to understand the archaic origin of the world of sounds, and how we perceive it today: the numbers unfold symmetrically within the world of sounds.

Authors: Tanudjaja Stephanie , Simamora Bachtiar H.
Published: February 2025

The automotive parts industry currently faces a number of challenges such as production delays, inventory management issues, and inefficient distribution, which impact operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. To address these inefficiencies, the proposed solution is the application of Business Process Improvement (BPI) principles. The purpose of this study is to analyze the application of BPI in evaluating and improving business processes. The research method uses quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative approach is done by modeling and simulation to analyze the current business process conditions. Meanwhile, the qualitative approach was used to identify the main challenges faced by the industry. Data was collected through literature review and observation, and then analyzed through a simulation process to draw conclusions. The results showed that the implementation of BPI principles using Bizagi Modeler was well received and smoothly integrated into the existing workflow, without causing significant disruptions or unexpected problems. Based on the existing business process conditions, the application of Bizagi Modeler successfully identified the main challenges hindering management efficiency as well as provided recommendations for improving business processes based on the simulation results of the most optimized scenario which could reducing cycle time by 20% and improving collaboration between production, logistics, and QA teams, which can reduce coordination delays by 30%.

The notion of complex bipolar neutrosophic subbisemirings (CBNSBSs) is constructed and analyzed. We examine the significant characteristics and homomorphic features of CBNSBSs. We propose the CBNSBS level sets for bisemirings. Suppose that \(\Bbbk\) is a subset of \(\mathfrak{S}\). Then \(R = \left( {\complement_{\Bbbk}^{{T^{-}}}} \cdot e^{i\omega {\Finv_{\Bbbk}^{{T^{-}}}}},\ {\complement_{\Bbbk}^{{I^{-}}}} \cdot e^{i\omega {\Finv_{\Bbbk}^{{I^{-}}}}},\ {\complement_{\Bbbk}^{{F^{-}}}} \cdot e^{i\omega {\Finv_{\Bbbk}^{{F^{-}}}}},\ {\complement_{\Bbbk}^{{T^{+}}}} \cdot e^{i\omega {\Finv_{\Bbbk}^{{T^{+}}}}},\ {\complement_{\Bbbk}^{{I^{+}}}} \cdot e^{i\omega {\Finv_{\Bbbk}^{{I^{+}}}}},\ {\complement_{\Bbbk}^{{F^{+}}}} \cdot e^{i\omega {\Finv_{\Bbbk}^{{F^{+}}}}}\right)\) is a CBNSBS of \(\mathfrak{S}\) if and only if \({\complement^{(\hslash_{1},\hslash_{2})}}\) is a subbisemiring (SBS) of \(\mathfrak{S}\) for all \((\hslash_{1},\hslash_{2}) \in [-1,0] \times [0,1]\). It is demonstrated that all CBNSBSs have homomorphic images, and all CBNSBSs have homomorphic pre-images. Examples are provided to show how our findings are used.

It was not long ago that children were not considered an important segment. Understanding thechild as a consumer was limited to understanding the consumer socialization of children. Howeverchanging social and economic conditions have also changed the role of children as consumers. They havebeen viewed as three markets in one current market, future market, and a market of influential that causemany millions of dollars of purchase among their parents. (Mc Neal, 1987). Avenues for this researchhave been defined in the West though in a limited manner. However research on the topic in India is verylimited.McKinsey (2007) has forecasted that India will be the 5th largest consumer market by 2025. SpencerStuart (2008) has identified kids, youth and urban Indian women as three emerging segments. Unlike thewest, India has a young population with children under 15 years of age constituting 30 of ourpopulation (Census 2010). With the number of females increasing in employment (Dr. S. Phani ShekharAssociate Professor (2019) the mothers are spending less time at home and with children. This hasincreased the role of children in decision making. Cultural and technological changes have changed theequation between parents and children. Children have so much power in the family that their families arebecoming child led (Cowell, 2001) the influence of children on family purchase decisions is anunexplored topic in Indian context and demands research and attention.This study intends to investigate how the urban child influences the purchase decision making of thefamily and its relation to family demographics and family communication. A conceptual model isoutlined. The model integrates these two different areas of research to develop a conceptual model toexplore the relation of influence of children with respect to different factors. Ward (1974) asserts thatsocialization is a lifelong process and hence this model also proposes parents re-socialization’ withchildren as one of their socialization agents.

This study is to introduce the novel solutions for traffic and energy aware congestion control in future WSNs. In this study, we make an effort to present a congestion management method for wireless sensor networks. The proposed algorithms should be applicable to a wide variety of applications, including those dealing with agricultural, monitoring, and health care systems. The NGBC is examined using the results acquired by earlier algorithms like LEACH, HEED, and IDCA in order to provide justification of the efficacy of the proposed mechanism. This analysis's goal is to provide justification of the effectiveness of the suggested mechanism. The comparison was carried out with the objective of determining measures like as throughput, packet loss, energy usage, packet delivery ratio, and end-to-end latency. The suggested approach makes use of optimization algorithms that are based on artificial intelligence in order to discover more than one path for data routing in networks that are clustered.

Geography from screens to streets–Navigating digital natives into real world
Authors: Charzyński Przemysław , Świtoniak Marcin , Urbańska Magdalena
Published: February 2025

Geography curricula in Poland is overburdened with facts as a result of encyclopedic approach. The aim of this paper is identification of topics students from “digital natives” generation evaluate as practical and supporting understanding mechanisms moving the world around us. Computer-assisted personal interviews survey conducted among students of last 2 grades of high schools (17-19 years old). A total of 592 students completed the form. The findings indicate a noticeable disparity in the evaluation of topics from the two branches of geography. Generally, topics related to physical geography are viewed as the least relevant to everyday life, while topics within human geography are considered more useful. The diversity of assessment level was found in groups divided by gender. Girls rated slightly higher physical geography issues and lower for human geography. Results show that generally students disfavor topics which are connected with taxonomy, systematics or classification of objects. Topics in human geography are perceived as more practical and relevant. This view likely arises because human geography deals with social, economic, and cultural phenomena frequently encountered in everyday life. Such knowledge offers insights issues, which are directly applicable and immediately relevant to students. Student feedback should be critically evaluated by geography curriculum developers from generation of ‘digital immigrants’. It highlights the need to update certain subjects and reframe content to shift from descriptive, fact-based teaching, which may not appeal to the “digital natives” generation. Instead, there should be a move toward problem-based teaching that encourages critical thinking.
Characterization of sub-fields of derivative problems in engineering textbooks
Authors: Galindo Illanes Maritza Katherine , Breda Adriana , Alvarado-Martínez Hugo , Sala-Sebastià Gemma
Published: February 2025

This paper aims to characterize the subfields of problems emerging from problem-situations of the derivative in university textbooks proposed for the training of civil and commercial engineers. Thirteen textbooks used for the teaching of the derivative in the syllabi of different Chilean universities were qualitatively analyzed. The notion of epistemic configuration of the onto-semiotic approach to mathematical knowledge and education was used for this purpose. It is observed that a complex approach to the derivative is adopted in the textbooks considered. A total of 21 subfields of problems appear, although not all the textbooks extensively use subfields of derivative problems. The findings of this research establish relevant guidelines for the design of a specific didactic proposal to learn the construction of the derivative in engineering courses.

Published: February 2025

Inquiry-based learning (IBL) is regarded as an effective model for cultivating higher-order thinking skills but the precise components that enhance critical thinking skills remain inadequately comprehended. This study aims to investigate the impact of IBL on critical thinking skills in further detail. A literature search was performed utilizing the Scopus and ERIC databases for publications from 2000 to 2024. Specifically, quantitative empirical studies were reviewed with pre-experimental or quasi-experimental designs. 25 articles (divided into 36 studies) were selected and showed a substantial mean effect size of 1.27 [95% confidence interval: 0.78; 1.76], indicating a significant impact of IBL. Substantial heterogeneity (I² = 92.0%) indicated contextual variation, which necessitated subgroup analysis based on educational level, teaching strategies, information and communications technology utilization, duration, and evaluation. The findings highlight nuances in applying IBL and propose evidence-based recommendations to optimize its application in education, thus significantly contributing to the discussion on effective pedagogies for developing critical thinking skills.

A partir do século XII começa a observar-se na Igreja um fenômeno novo: As mulheres anunciam ao mundo os favores recebidos na oração. Provavelmente desde a mais remota antiguidade tiveram elas revelações ou luzes especiais de Deus, porém, somente de então para cá é que começam a manifestá-las ao mundo. Os Doutores, alarmados, repetiram a admoestação de S. Paulo: “Que as mulheres se calem na Igreja...” Cristo, entretanto, era de opinião diferente. São palavras suas a S. Catarina de Sena: “Hás de saber, Filha, que a soberba dos letrados e doutores cresceu tanto nos últimos tempos, que já não os posso suportar e, a fim de enchê-los de confusão, envio as mulheres fortalecidas pela minha graça”.
Development and Practice of Additive Manufacturing Curriculum System for Emerging Engineering Education
Authors: Xu Gaopeng
Published: February 2025

This paper presents the development and implementation of a comprehensive additive manufacturing (AM) course system tailored to the new engineering education framework. Emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration, innovation, and practical skills, the course system integrates fundamental AM principles, hands-on applications, and interdisciplinary elements. The curriculum is structured into theoretical, practical, and elective modules, employing pedagogical strategies such as project-based learning and flipped classrooms. Initial outcomes indicate significant improvements in student performance and engagement, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world practice. Despite these successes, areas for enhancement include advanced laboratory facilities and increased industry collaboration. Future directions aim to incorporate innovative technologies and establish continuous feedback loops to ensure the course system’s relevance and effectiveness in preparing students for the evolving engineering landscape.

In China, the use of audio-visual media and interactive features to improve user engagement and understanding of climate change has made social media prominent in the dissemination of climate change information, particularly among young people who are the main users of social media. This empirical study uses the technology acceptance model to explore the factors impacting the intention and behavior of climate change information sharing. This study employed quantitative methods and purposive sampling, engaging 552 young adults aged 18–30 years through an online questionnaire. SPSS and SmartPLS analyzed the data, leading to the findings of this study. The results revealed that perceived ease of use (PEU), perceived usefulness (PU), and social media influencer trust (SMIT) considerably affected this cohort’s intention to share climate change information on social media (BiliBili). Furthermore, this study found that environmental concern is a moderator that affects the relationship between PEU, PU, SMIT, and intention to share climate change information. This study contributes to the body of knowledge on climate change communication, particularly in understanding Chinese youth’s climate change sharing behavior using social media.
The construction of emotional meaning in language

The experience of emotion is a form of meaning-making: it encapsulates one’s relationship to the circumstances. Certain concerns are put in focus; one sees oneself and events from a particular perspective; events are evaluated along a set of relevant dimensions. These three processes – attention, construal, and appraisal – are key to understanding how emotional meaning is assembled in context. In this perspective, we illustrate their importance for the science of emotion and propose means of studying them through language. Our interdisciplinary approach seeks to move the field beyond the words that label emotions, to a higher-dimensional, dynamical account of emotional meaning.
Does It Feel Certain Enough? Intolerance of Uncertainty Predicts Checking Behavior through 'Not Just Right' Experiences
Authors: Appel Helmut , Mattes André , Gerlach Alexander L.
Published: February 2025

Understanding the mechanisms underlying pathological safety behavior is crucial for the development of effective treatments for mental disorders. This study investigates the interplay between intolerance of uncertainty (IU), not just right experiences (NJRE), and safety behaviors using a behavior-based checking paradigm in individuals (N = 164) diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and/or anxiety disorders. Findings revealed that IU was related to more disturbance caused by experimentally induced NJRE. In addition, IU was linked to more NJRE on a trait level. Regarding safety behavior in the form of checking, IU was also indirectly associated with longer checking durations via NJRE-related disturbance. This indirect effect supports a conceptual pathway where IU causes NJRE-related disturbance, leading to excessive uncertainty reducing safety behaviors. These results reinforce IU’s role as a transdiagnostic factor driving safety behaviors, which can contribute to maintaining pathology. Furthermore, the findings confirm a mediating role of NJRE in this relationship. Thus, the relevance of NJRE may extend beyond OCD into other anxiety disorders whenever IU is a critical feature. Implications include considering IU and NJRE in therapies across anxiety-related diagnoses as a mitigating factor of pathological safety behaviors. Despite strengths like a large, formally diagnosed sample and a behavior-based paradigm, sample heterogeneity and the use of novel methodology constitute limitations of the study.
A Historical Perspective Study of Yakthung Mangena Mundhum
Authors: Yongya Birman
Published: February 2025

This study explores the profound knowledge inherent in the Mangena Mundhum, a significant genre of Mundhum that encapsulates ancestral memories, migratory journeys, and settlement patterns spanning centuries. As a crucial link to the Yakthung dynasty, Mangena rituals practice connects the Yakthung people to their origins, culture, rituals, belief systems, and worldview. Through this lens, the research seeks to illuminate the ancient history and cultural legacy of the Yakthung lineage. Shaped by power dynamics and vested interests, Nepali historiography often lacks authentic sources, particularly for the prehistoric era. This gap has left scholars reliant on fragmented and uncertain evidence. The study adopts an ethnomethodological approach to address these limitations, integrating exploratory, analytical and ethnographic methods, including literature reviews and firsthand observations of rituals and events. Recognized as a legitimate historical repository, Mangena an ancient oral tradition of the Yakthung community offers invaluable insights into Yakthung prehistory. By analyzing the cultural and historical narratives embedded in Mangena, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of Yakthung heritage and addresses significant gaps in Nepal’s historical record.
