Supplementation of probiotics in live feeds and rearing water may improve the growth, survival, and resistance of fish larvae. This study examined the beneficial effect of a commercial probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus casei on the growth, body composition, and stress resistance in early-stage silver therapon (Leiopotherapon plumbeus) larvae. Larvae at 12 d post-hatch (DPH) (9.76 ± 1.32 mm total length [TL] and 13.48 ± 4.80 mg body weight [BW]) were reared in triplicate groups of 15 larvae per tank from 12 – 40 DPH (Phase 1) and 41 – 96 DPH (Phase 2). From 12 – 40 DPH, larvae were fed (I) unenriched Artemia nauplii (no-PB or control group); (II) probiotic-enriched Artemia nauplii (PB); and on (III) probiotic-enriched Artemia nauplii and rearing water (PB + W). The same feeding regime was used from 41 – 96 DPH except that the larvae were co-fed Artemia nauplii and microparticulate diet (MPD). Mean survival rates at 40 (97.78% – 100%) and 96 DPH (86.67% – 91.11%) did not show significant differences among treatments. However, except for body depth (BD) and Fulton’s condition factor (K), mean TL, BW, length increment (LI), and length- (SGRL) and weight-specific growth rates (SGRW) of PB + W-fed larvae were significantly higher than PB-fed and no-PB-fed larvae at 40 DPH. While these parameters were similar among treatment groups at 96 DPH, slightly higher values for BW and SGRW were noted for the PB + W group, as supported by the higher proportion of L. casei to total microbiota in the intestines of early-stage larvae. Whole body protein and lipid contents were highest in the PB + W and PB groups, respectively, but did not differ from the no-PB group. Survival rates (93.33% – 100%) after 18 h exposure to 30 ppt did not show significant differences. However, recovery rates after 15 min of air exposure of early stage larvae in the PB and PB + W groups (93.33%) were significantly higher than those fed unenriched Artemia (66.67%). These results indicate that supplementation of probiotic bacteria L. casei in live feed and rearing water may support growth of earlystage larvae of silver therapon and its resistance to stress conditions during culture.

Published: February 2025

The Look East Policy (LEP), initiated by Malaysia in 1982, had two primary goals: to enhance workers' ethics, skills, efficiency, and knowledge by adopting positive values from Japan and Korea, and to improve productivity and quality levels. This article evaluates the impact of the second wave of LEP (LEP 2.0) after 40 years, building on the assumption that LEP 2.0 benefits both Japan and Malaysia, similar to the first wave, which primarily targeted Malaysia's growth. The study aims to assess the success of LEP 2.0's implementation and its empowerment over the past four decades. Data was collected through interviews and focus groups involving 13 stakeholders directly connected to LEP. Using thematic analysis of interview transcripts and the Policy Cycle process, the study found that work ethics, cultural factors, Japanese values, and loyalty to employers were key contributors to improved work quality. However, LEP's success in fully embedding Japanese work culture and values in Malaysia was partial. Nonetheless, LEP 2.0 strengthened Malaysia-Japan cooperation and fostered mutual benefits. Overall, the study highlights both achievements and limitations in realizing LEP’s objectives.

The Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) is an opportunistic pathogen causing significant losses in aquaculture. The overuse of antibiotics has led to antimicrobial resistance, necessitating alternative control strategies. This study evaluates the potential of coconut oil to inhibit A. hydrophila colonization in gills, brain, and gut microbiota of zebrafish while enhancing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) populations. A completely randomized design was used with five groups: a negative control (healthy), a positive control (A. hydrophila-infected), and three treatment groups (1000 mg/kg, 2000 mg/kg, 4000 mg/kg coconut oil) for 60 days. Bacterial load in gills and brain was quantified using the pour plate method on Rimler-Shotts agar, while LAB in the gut was assessed using de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe Agar (MRSA). 1000 mg/kg coconut oil significantly reduced A. hydrophila in the gills (0.3 ± 0.09 × 10⁷ CFU/ml) compared to the positive control (138.13 ± 11.26 × 10⁷ CFU/ml). 4000 mg/kg was most effective in reducing A. hydrophila in the brain (1.78 ± 0.51 × 10⁷ CFU/ml vs. 4.53 ± 0.40 × 10⁷ CFU/ml in the positive control). LAB populations significantly increased (p < 0.0001), with the highest count at 1000 mg/kg (9.20 ± 0.87 × 10⁷ CFU/ml), followed by 2000 mg/kg (3.16 ± 0.13 × 10⁷ CFU/ml), and 4000 mg/kg (1.78 ± 0.35 × 10⁷ CFU/ml). Coconut oil effectively enhances LAB populations, inhibits A. hydrophila colonization, and acts as a natural antimicrobial and probiotic agent. The 1000 mg/kg dose is optimal for gut microbiota improvement, while 4000 mg/kg protects brain tissues, highlighting coconut oil’s potential as an eco-friendly alternative to antibiotics in aquaculture.

Published: February 2025

This study investigated the heat tolerance of horned and polled Bali cattle under high ambient temperatures and physical exercise using heat tolerance index parameters. Eight male Bali cattle (four horned and four polled) were observed in the morning and afternoon after walking exercises under direct sunlight. Measured parameters included the Iberian Heat Tolerance Coefficient (IHTC), Benezra’s Coefficient (BC), and panting score (PS). A 2×2 factorial design (cattle type × measurement period) was used, and data were analyzed via two-way ANOVA, followed by Duncan’s test for significant interactions (P < 0.05).Results showed no significant differences (P > 0.05) in heat tolerance indices between horned and polled cattle. IHTC (106.15 ± 9.89 vs. 102.40 ± 10.93), BC (2.22 ± 0.35 vs. 2.28 ± 0.39), and PS (0.88 ± 0.83 vs. 1.38 ± 1.06) were comparable, indicating similar physiological responses to heat. However, the measurement period significantly affected (P < 0.05) all parameters. IHTC decreased in the afternoon (96.78 ± 5.56) compared to the morning (114.78 ± 5.22), while BC (2.29 ± 0.76 vs. 1.91 ± 0.77) and PS (1.88 ± 0.64 vs. 0.38 ± 0.52) increased, suggesting cattle experienced heat stress as temperatures rose. significant interaction (P < 0.05) between cattle type and measurement period was observed. Horned cattle had the highest IHTC in the morning (117.70 ± 4.28), while polled cattle had the lowest in the afternoon (92.95 ± 4.25). Polled cattle also had the highest BC (2.64 ± 0.06) and PS (2.25 ± 0.50) in the afternoon, indicating greater heat stress susceptibility. In conclusion, while both types showed similar heat tolerance under normal conditions, polled cattle were more vulnerable to heat stress, particularly after physical exertion in the afternoon.

Born on 4th July - Prelude, Preamble, Precursor, Premonition
Authors: Somerset Jo
Published: February 2025

This essay deliberates about theoretical and creative approaches to a work-in-progress. Using the conceit of visiting the author’s birthday each year to depict an individual’s relationship with world events, she aims to combine personal and collective history into an autohistory of the late twentieth century. Exploring methods for telling a unique story involves addressing problems of representation, accuracy and artistic expression. Considering the contribution from poststructuralist theory and literature unlocks a door towards experimentation in both expressing and uniting disparate themes. Creative techniques help to unravel the connections between strands of historiographic, feminist, post-colonialist and queer theory, leading to reflections on genre-bending and how to draw diverse meanings from sources and imagination. Reflecting on trends in oral history and ‘history from below’, the author conjures her own inventive autoethnographic journey through the genres of memoir, journal, autofiction and autobiography, and encounters problems in assessing the relative value of different primary and secondary sources. Furthermore, in writing about others as well as the self, issues arise regarding representation and the politics of giving voice to hidden stories. The essay concludes that using polyphonic voices and fictional devices within the nonfiction framework can provide a way to tell history through a personal artistic medium.
Walking and Writing, Running and Redrafting: Towards a template for the physically-active creative
Authors: Bell Liam , Ryde Gemma
Published: February 2025

This paper investigates the interdisciplinary and symbiotic links between creativity and physical activity in order to present a template for a physically-active creative. Co-written by a Creative Writing and a Sport and Physical Activity academic, the research draws on existing literature across both disciplines and original quantitative and qualitative research. After exploring examples of famous writers and artists who undertook exercise as part of their creative process and incorporating a review of studies on creativity from the physical activity and sport context, this article then moves on to present results from a 2018 Pilot Study, undertaken at the University of Stirling, and a 2021 online Graduate Event, conducted in partnership with the Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities. In doing so, the authors conclude by proposing three non- prescriptive recommendations for how to incorporate physical activity into a creative routine and foster a best practice that utilises concepts from the field of sport and physical activity to further understand and develop the creative process.
Writing about and through objects in contemporary short fiction
Authors: Ioannou Maria A.
Published: February 2025

This article focuses on an object-oriented approach to creative writing and relates object characters in short fiction to aspects of Martin Heidegger’s tool analysis and Graham Harman’s OOO: Object-Oriented Ontology. By briefly referring to certain contemporary short fiction examples, and through a longer exegetical approach to some of my own object-centred work, this article encourages short fiction writers and creative writing tutors to start seeing objects as potential creative stimuli for more object-centred texts, as tools which rebel against their users and against other objects, and as extensions towards form and language. By not exclusively modelling objects on humanness, but on qualities deriving from their own thingness as well – an object’s expressive appearance, function and less explicit qualities – object characters are offered more space in a usually anthropocentric creative writing context.

Nowotwór piersi jest najczęstszym nowotworem wśród kobiet. W roku 2022 stanowił on około 30% wszystkich zachorowań na nowotwory w krajach Unii Europejskiej wśród kobiet. Według statystyk European Cancer Information System (ECIS) w Polsce w 2022 r. na raka piersi zachorowało 97 977 pacjentek. Zmarło 53 737, co stawia raka piersi na drugim miejscu wśród przyczyn zgonów nowotworowych w Polsce [1]. Pacjentki zdiagnozowane we wczesnym stadium choroby mają bardzo korzystne rokowania. Współczynnik przeżyć pięcioletnich w I stadium choroby wynosi 98%, w II stadium – 92%. Nawet w III stadium nowotworu trzy czwarte pacjentek prognozuje 5-letnie przeżycie [2, 3]. W związku z powyższym niezwykle istotne jest poszukiwanie coraz lepszych skojarzonych technik leczenia, które pozwolą na zmniejszenie liczby i nasilenia działań niepożądanych oraz przyczynią się do poprawy jakości życia chorych. Radioterapia uzupełniająca, poprzedzona oszczędzającym zabiegiem chirurgicznym, jest kluczowym elementem leczenia i przynosi zdecydowaną poprawę kontroli miejscowej. Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia ewolucję rozwoju technik radioterapii nowotworów piersi.

The English Teacher Who Learned English
Authors: Sadiqzade Zarifa
Published: February 2025

The belief that native English speakers make superior language teachers has long influenced hiring practices and student perceptions in English language teaching (ELT). However, this assumption overlooks the unique strengths of non-native English-speaking teachers (NNESTs), who often bring structured teaching methods, a deep understanding of grammar, and firsthand experience of language learning challenges. While NNESTs excel in pedagogy, they frequently face biases related to their accents, hiring discrimination, and the pressure to prove their legitimacy. This paper argues that effective teaching is determined by methodology, not nativeness, and that NNESTs play a crucial role in English education. Drawing on research, it debunks the native-speaker myth and advocates for a more inclusive approach in ELT that values teaching ability over linguistic background. The findings support the need for a shift in hiring policies and attitudes to recognize the contributions of NNESTs as equally, if not more, effective than native-speaking teachers.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women in Brazil, with a particularly high incidence in regions with limited access to healthcare services, such as the Northern Region. Traditionally, the disease has a greater impact on women over the age of 45. However, there is a concerning increase in the incidence rate among younger women, aged 21 to 45, a group that is often not the primary focus of prevention campaigns.Objective: To identify the determining factors behind the increase of the disease in this age group and to assess the current preventive strategies, as well as to investigate the barriers to early diagnosis and proper treatment. Materials and Methods: The methodology will be based on a literature review of academic studies, epidemiological data, and public policies for the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. Articles published between 2018 and 2023 will be analyzed, in addition to official data from the National Cancer Institute (INCA) and the Ministry of Health. The analysis will focus on sociodemographic aspects and access to healthcare services in the cities of Rio Branco and Manaus, with an emphasis on the young female population. Results and Conclusions: The study revealed significant regional disparities, with Manaus facing greater challenges regarding the prevention and early diagnosis of cervical cancer. Expanding health education strategies, strengthening vaccination campaigns, and improving access to preventive exams are essential to reduce the incidence of the disease in both capitals, especially in peripheral and riverside areas. It is crucial that public policies are adapted to local realities to promote equity in healthcare access and prevent mortality among young women.

Strategies to combat epidemics and promote immunization in vulnerable populations are essential to ensure public health and reduce the impact of infectious disease outbreaks. These strategies involve the implementation of effective vaccination programs, focusing on education and awareness among the population, especially among the most vulnerable groups, such as children, the elderly, rural communities and minorities. The continuous training of health professionals, the use of data to monitor vaccines and the strengthening of primary health care are fundamental pillars for achieving high vaccination coverage rates. Furthermore, promoting accessible vaccination campaigns, such as mobile vaccination, and inter-agency collaboration between governments, international organizations and civil society are essential to ensure equitable vaccine distribution. Epidemiological surveillance plays an important role in early detection of outbreaks and rapid response to contain the spread of diseases. In summary, success in combating epidemics and promoting immunization depends on an integrated approach that considers education, access, professional training and collaboration between different sectors of society.

Peritonitis is a serious and frequent complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD), which can compromise the continuity of therapy. Given this, the present study aimed to identify the main microorganisms causing peritonitis in PD patients at the Peritoneal Dialysis Service of the Regional Hospital of Taguatinga. This is an observational, retrospective, and quantitative study conducted with 31 medical records of patients undergoing treatment in the Peritoneal Dialysis sector of the Regional Hospital of Taguatinga between January 2022 and January 2023. Data collection was carried out using a structured form containing variables such as age, sex, comorbidities, PD duration, peritonitis frequency, PD type, and culture results identifying the microorganism. The results showed a peritonitis prevalence of 8.9%, with 51.8% of the patients being male and an average age of 55.9 years. Hypertension was the most frequent comorbidity (61.2%). Additionally, 29% of the patients had been undergoing PD for three years, and 51.6% had at least one episode of peritonitis, with Staphylococcus epidermidis being the most prevalent microorganism (25.8%). It is concluded that identifying the patient profile and the main etiological agents of peritonitis can contribute to improving the quality of nephrology services, reinforcing the importance of continuous monitoring and preventive strategies in peritoneal dialysis.
