Heritage as learning. Why should community learning and education focus on cultural heritage?
Authors: Kurantowicz Ewa
Published: February 2025

The article relies on theory and research to argue that the concept of cultural heritage should be incorporated into adult education and learning studies. The focus on this issue has been prompted by a paradigmatic change in the way that researchers and practitioners in the cultural heritage field understand and define this phenomenon. Particularly relevant in this context is addressing and highlighting the links between cultural heritage and identity (formation), as well as re-defining the social values and meanings of cultural heritage. In this approach, the central role of adult learning (as a process, a strategy, a mechanism and a trajectory) is indispensable for the new perspective on ‘heritage’ to be recognized and applied. Adult education researchers and practitioners have long been involved in cultural education, promotion of social activism and museum education, but a new opening and radical change in “cultural heritage” sciences enable adult education researchers, among other scholars, to join the interdisciplinary debate on so-called Heritage Studies. The argument also draws on the partial research findings of the EU_CUL project partners, which showcase the interconnectedness of learning, heritage and community and leave no doubt that the past values and meanings of cultural heritage must be renegotiated for the present and the future.
‘Adult educators’ identity formation for active citizenship through a biographical learning perspective
Authors: Koutoulianou Evangelia , Gravani Maria
Published: February 2025

This paper, drawing from the narratives of two adult educators teaching at the ‘Odysseus’ solidarity school in Greece, aims to explore how their identities – as active citizens with a social justice orientation – have been constructed, and how these have shaped their educational practice for citizenship education. Informed by the discourse on critical active citizenship, the study employs a biographical approach and a Bakhtinian dialogical analysis of the data, which are presented under two main themes: life experiences prior to ‘Odysseus’ and the impact of identity on educational practice for citizenship education. The findings reveal that prior life experiences, the influence of relatives and friends, ideology, and participation in actions leaning towards social justice, have led to the formation of an identity oriented towards active citizenship. As a result, the educators, inspired by the principles of critical active citizenship, have created ‘contexts of questioning’ for their students that provoke critical thinking and action among learners. These contexts are necessary for students to break their silence, advocate for their rights through praxis, become emancipated, and transform society.

Published: February 2025

Skin cancer poses a significant public health challenge in the US, with rising rates underscoring the need for prevention efforts3,4. Currently, there is a gap in knowledge that individuals with more melanin do not require sunblock or need to practice sun safety techniques1,2,5. Yet, Latinx/Hispanics have lower rates of melanoma survival due to this disparity of knowledge2,4. This scoping review aims to explore effective methodologies for increasing sun safety knowledge in the Latinx population. Conducted on February 7, 2024, through databases like EBSCO-Academic Search Complete, Web of Science, and PubMed, the search targeted articles from January 1, 2018, to February 7, 2024, using relevant keywords like "skin health education," "Hispanic," and others. Two teams independently reviewed 234 articles, with each member assessing 117, ensuring thorough coverage. Additional reviewers examined eligibility criteria. This scoping review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the effective methodologies used to increase sun safety knowledge within the Latino/Hispanic population in the United States. Furthermore, this review aims to synthesize recommendations for skin cancer prevention interventions for medical student-led free clinic implementation considerations for those serving rural Latinx populations. Of the 234 articles, 87 duplicates were removed, and 138 didn't meet the criteria, leaving 9 for inclusion in the review. Larger studies with longer follow-up periods are recommended to assess knowledge retention and intervention efficacy comprehensively.Overall, the findings highlight the importance of culturally tailored interventions and the potential for appearance-based approaches to enhance sun protection behaviors among Hispanic populations.

Accounting Students’ Perspectives on Fraud and Forensic Topics in the Accounting Curriculum: A Comparison with Professionals
Authors: Nouri Hossein
Published: February 2025

Forensic accounting is a growing field, especially given the increasing threat of fraud in businesses today. This study examines accounting students’ perspectives on fraud and forensic topics that they believe should be included in the accounting curriculum. This study also compares students’ perspectives with those of professionals. A survey of sophomores and seniors at a liberal arts undergraduate college in the Northeast United States was conducted. It asked students about the importance of certain qualities they perceive a forensic accountant should possess and topics they should be familiar with. In addition, students’ responses were compared with the results of Daniels et al.’s (2013) study regarding professionals’ responses. The results showed that sophomores and seniors significantly differed in their perceptions of internal control and fraud risk factors. In addition, students and professionals had significantly different perceptions of what the most critical forensic accounting topics should be included in the accounting curriculum. These differences are presented and discussed in the paper.
Tackling Resource Motivated Cross-Listing of Courses
Authors: Ehnberg Jimmy , Lundgren Per
Published: February 2025

There is a potential conflict between making courses available for many different student groups (by cross-listing) while at the same time maintaining satisfactory course outcomes. We propose a model to classify different formats for cross-listing across educational programme boundaries, and describe some key challenges related to these different formats. The model work has been informed by outcome guided interaction with over thirty selected members of the faculty, staff and students at Chalmers University of Technology with experience and interest in cross-listed courses. For cross-listing motivated predominantly by resource efficiency, there are challenges for the delivery of maintained quality related to: an increased diversity of the students, an increased number of students, increased scheduling constraints, access to facilities, and increased organizational interdependence. In order to achieve resource efficiency, all these challenges should be addressed when considering cross-listing, including the consequences for the responsible teachers, both in the short and long term.
Research on the prevention strategies of sports injuries in physical education teaching through sports biomechanics analysis
Authors: Duan Wei
Published: February 2025

Sports activities induce significant changes in cell mechanics. Physical exercise prompts molecular adaptations in muscles, and analyzing the biomechanics of specific sports is crucial. Sports injuries, commonly occurring during exercise, often stem from overuse, crashes, or excessive forces. The physical and psychological rigors of sports and intense competitions heighten the risk of damage. For instance, hamstring strain injury is prevalent among football players. Understanding the biomechanics underlying such injuries is essential. This research focuses on gathering biomechanical data from physical education exercises, including joint angles, forces, velocities, and muscle activations. By preprocessing this data through cleaning and normalization, we aim to decipher the molecular and cellular level changes. Maximal hamstring flexibility and muscular tightness, identified as key factors, can provide insights into muscle cell mechanics and potential injury prevention. A novel Intelligent Flamingo Optimized Residual Network50 (IFO-ResNet50) is proposed. Through biomechanics analysis in physical education teaching, it targets the prevention of football muscle injuries. The method’s effectiveness is evaluated in terms of accuracy (98.1%), recall (98.4%), F1-Score (98.2%), AUC (98.5%), and precision (98.7%) in comparison to existing algorithms. This research not only aids in identifying the physiological and biomechanical changes at the cell or molecular level due to sports but also offers practical strategies for physical education teachers. By reducing injury risks, it can enhance student safety and performance in school sports programs, thereby contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between sports and cell mechanics.

Introduktion
Sygdom forstås ofte som dysfunktion, fejl og mangeltilstand. Men hvis man forstår levende organismer som komplekse, selvorganiserende systemer, fremstår sygdomme og symptomer som led i kroppens eller psykens forsøg på gendannelse (regeneration) og heling. Disse forsøg kan fremmes i behandling og pleje, der bør respektere organismens egne copingforsøg og overlevelsesstrategier. Lader vi os inspirere af komplekistetsforskning, systemtænkning og en regenerativ tilgang til økologi og biologi kommer der nye perspektiver frem.

Authors: Xu Hao , Yan Xinyong , Hao Dongpeng , Hu Jieliang , Wang Yan
Published: February 2025

AIM: The occurrence of mixed hemorrhoids becomes increasingly more frequent with age, posing psychological pressure and distress to affected patients. This retrospective study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of automatic Ruiyun procedure for hemorrhoids and procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids in the treatment of mixed hemorrhoids.
METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of patients with mixed hemorrhoids who visited the Third Affiliated Hospital of Gansu University of Chinese Medicine (The 1st People's Hospital of Baiyin) from January 2019 to December 2023 was conducted using propensity score matching (PSM) with a ratio of 1:1 for nearest neighbor matching grouping. In this study, 60 cases were grouped under the Ruiyun procedure for hemorrhoids (RPH) group, and the other 60 cases were categorized in the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) group. The postoperative medical humanistic evaluation, clinical efficacy evaluation, subjective evaluation of patients, the occurrence of complications and the rate of unplanned readmission were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS: Surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative pain, length of hospital stay and hospitalization expenses between the two groups presented statistically significant differences (p < 0.001). There were statistically significant intra-group and between-group differences between RPH group and PPH group in the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores on the 4th and 6th postoperative days (p < 0.001). The European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions, 5-Level Version (EQ-5D-5L) score in the RPH group was lower than that in the PPH group at the 12th week of follow-up (p < 0.001), signifying an improved level of quality of life. There was no difference in Vaizey's Fecal Incontinence Rating Scale score between the RPH group and the PPH group at the 12th week of follow-up (p > 0.05). The rate of unplanned postoperative readmission was higher in the PPH group than in the RPH group, although the difference was not of statistical significance (p > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: RPH outperforms PPH in the treatment of mixed hemorrhoids with a shortened surgical time.

Published: February 2025

AIM: There is no consensus regarding the minimally invasive treatment method for concomitant cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a universal classification system for minimally invasive surgeries, thereby supporting development of consensus in guidelines for diagnosing choledocholithiasis.
METHODS: This retrospective study included 1044 consecutive patients with concomitant cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis who underwent different minimally invasive surgical treatments at the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, China, between January 2014 and April 2021. To identify the key factors influencing the choice of different minimally invasive surgical procedures, clinical data for all hospitalized patients were analyzed. The patients were followed up through outpatient visits or telephonic calls at 1 week, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year or immediately if symptoms developed following discharge from the hospital. This information was integrated in the form of a new disease classification model, and the optimal treatment approaches were screened.
RESULTS: A significant correlation was observed between the choice of minimally invasive surgical procedures and the concomitant common bile duct (CBD) (p < 0.001), stone size (p < 0.001), or stone number (p < 0.001). A new clinical classification model was developed for patients with concomitant gallbladder (GB) and CBD stones based on the CBD diameter, stone sizes, and stone numbers, and the patients were sorted into Type I, II, III, and Ⅳ, respectively. Three invasive surgical methods were performed in patients with type I patients, revealing the laparoscopic cholecystectomy + Laparoscopic Transcystic Common Bile Duct Exploration (LC + LTCBDE) method as a preferred option for these patients. Furthermore, five surgical methods were performed on patients with type II CBD stones, demonstrating LC + LTCBDE as the viable option for these patients. Additionally, among the four minimally invasive surgical methods applied in patients with type III, the LC + laparoscopic choledochotomy for common bile duct exploration (LCCBDE) + Duodenoscope or LC + LCCBDE + primary closure demonstrated favorable results in this group of patients. Among the three methods applied in type IV patients, LC + laparoscopic choledocholithotomy and T-tube drainage (LCTD) were found to be more favorable.
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, this novel and simple clinical classification system, which is based on CBD diameter, stone sizes, and stone numbers, can assist clinicians in selecting a minimally invasive treatment approach for managing concomitant GB and CBD stones.

Published: February 2025

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors are increasingly a concern in investment decision-making, especially related to their role in influencing financial performance, sustainability reporting, and corporate governance. With a mixed method approach, this study combines quantitative and qualitative analysis to explore the relationship between these variables comprehensively. Quantitative analysis uses data from companies' annual reports, ESG scores published by rating agencies, as well as financial data from companies listed on the stock exchange. The results of regression analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) show that ESG significantly affects financial performance, with corporate governance as a mediator that strengthens this relationship. In addition, sustainability reporting has been shown to increase investor confidence through increased transparency. On the qualitative side, in-depth interviews with investment managers and financial analysts provide insight that while ESG is considered important in investment decision-making, there are challenges in its implementation, including the diversity of reporting standards and long-term impact measurement. These findings underscore the importance of integrating ESG factors in investment strategies to create long-term value while supporting sustainability. The main recommendations are the harmonization of sustainability reporting standards and the strengthening of corporate governance to support the wider adoption of ESG-based investments.

Published: February 2025

Diabetes mellitus is a serious global public health issue. It is marked by elevated blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia), which trigger inflammations and oxidative damage, factors that contribute significantly to the disease's progress. Zinc is a crucial part of the antioxidant system of body and helps slow down oxidative processes, especially those associated with diabetes mellitus. Vitamin D's involvement in the onset and prevention of diabetes is gaining attention. Our study was designed to assess the effect of zinc and vitamin D on some biochemical parameters and histopathological changes of liver and pancreas in rats with diabetes induced by alloxan. A total of 55 male albino rats weighing 100-150 g were divided into eleven groups, healthy controls rats, diabetic rats, diabetic rats post and pre-treated with zinc, vitamin D and metformin as a reference drug to assess their anti-diabetic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Alloxan-induced diabetes not only resulted in notable elevations in serum glucose, liver enzymes and inflammatory markers, but also provoked oxidative stress in pancreatic and hepatic tissue. Significant morphological damage was noted in Langerhans islets and liver of diabetic rats. The administration of zinc and vitamin D ameliorated elevated blood glucose, liver enzyme levels, and other biochemical parameters, with zinc showing the greatest reduction in blood glucose. Histopathological examination of the liver and pancreas also revealed more substantial protection following treatment. In conclusion, the administration of zinc and vitamin D help improve hyperglycemia in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Therefore, they may be considered as adjunctive therapies alongside other anti-diabetic medications.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the duration of young coconut water soaking and different growing media on the viability of Arabica coffee seeds after mechanical scarification, as well as to identify the interaction between these two factors. This research was conducted over a period of three months, from July to September 2023, at the Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, Samudra University, Langsa City. The study was designed using a completely randomized design with a factorial pattern, consisting of two factors: (1) the duration of soaking in young coconut water, which included 4 levels: L0 = Control, L1 = 3 hours, L2 = 6 hours, and L3 = 9 hours; and (2) growing media, which included 3 levels: M1 = Soil: manure, M2 = Soil: manure: rice husk, and M3 = Soil: manure: cocopeat. The parameters observed in this study were maximum growth potential, germination rate, seedling height, root length, seedling fresh weight, and seedling dry weight. The results showed that the duration of soaking in young coconut water did not have any significant effect on all observed parameters. However, different growing media had a highly significant effect on maximum growth potential, germination rate, seedling height, root length, fresh weight, and dry weight of the Arabica coffee seedlings. The M1 treatment gave the best results for maximum growth potential, germination rate, seedling fresh weight, and seedling dry weight, while the M3 treatment provided the best results for seedling height and root length of Arabica coffee seeds. There was no interaction between the duration of young coconut water soaking and different growing media on all parameters of Arabica coffee seed viability.

Sampah telah menjadi masalah serius di Indonesia. Ada ancaman besar yang ditimbulkan dari sampah bila sampah tidak mendapat pengelolaan yang baik dan komprehensip. Pada dasarnya semua pihak bertanggung jawab terhadap pengelolaan sampah, baik pemerintah, pelaku usaha, maupun masyarakat. Telah ada regulasi yang mengatur tentang pengelolaan sampah, namun apakah regulasi tersebut telah dilaksanakan dengan baik oleh semua komponen yang bertanggung jawab dalam pengelolaan sampah. Pengelolaan sampah memerlukan penguatan kapasitas semua eleman masyarakat termasuk para pemuda yang merupakan penerus generasi masa yang akan datang. Sangat penting bagi pemerintah untuk melakukan edukasi kepada masyarakat dalam mengurangi sampah. Masyarakat yang masih sangat acuh terhadap sampah dikarenakan kurangnya pendidikan atau pengetahuan mengenai pengelolaan sampah. Minimnya pendidikan dan pengelolaan sampah maka masyarakat akan mengabaikan sampah yang berserakan. Padahal sampah merupakan sumber utama dalam beberapa bencana seperti banjir dan lain-lain. Dengan demikian kami dari Program Studi Kehutanan Semester II Fakultas Ilmu Pertanian dan Lingkungan Universitas Victory Sorong tertarik untuk melakukan “Sosialisasi Sadar Sampah Bagi Anak-anak Rumah Belajar Gerakan Amsal Tiga Kota Sorong”, dengan tujuan memberikan informasi, pengetahuan, dan keterampilan bagi anak-anak tentang permasalahan sampah.

Translation Challenges of Cultural Realia in English Literary Texts: Semantic and Pragmatic Aspects
Authors: Zeynalova Khazrin
Published: February 2025

The translation of cultural realia in literary texts presents a unique challenge, as these terms carry deep cultural, historical, and linguistic significance that may not have direct equivalents in the target language. This study examines various strategies for translating realia, including retention, adaptation, explicitation, and hybrid approaches, assessing their effectiveness in preserving both semantic accuracy and cultural authenticity. Through an analysis of realia in English literary texts, the study highlights the importance of balancing foreignization and domestication based on the target audience and genre. The findings suggest that while retention with explanation is often the most effective method for literary works, adaptation may be necessary in more accessible texts. The study concludes with recommendations for translators and highlights future research opportunities in digital and audiovisual translation contexts.
Evaluación de la descentralización desde la perspectiva de la Teoría del Federalismo Fiscal: ¿Qué ha pasado?
Authors:   Universitat de Barcelona, Solé-Ollé Albert
Published: February 2025

En este trabajo se revisan los principales argumentos de la Teoría del Federalismo Fiscal (TFF) acerca del impacto de la descentralización sobre la eficiencia en la prestación de los servicios públicos. Se repasan tanto los trabajos incluidos en la denominada 1.ª generación de trabajos de la TFF, de tipo básicamente normativo, como los de la 2.ª generación de la TFF, basados en el análisis positivo del comportamiento del gobierno. Los argumentos analizados bajo los dos puntos de vista son: la descentralización puede mejorar la adaptación a las preferencias locales, y el proceso político de rendición de cuentas; la descentralización fomenta la innovación en el diseño de las políticas públicas; la descentralización puede generar problemas de coordinación en las políticas públicas; la descentralización mejora los incentivos del gobierno a recaudar o promover el crecimiento económico; y por último, que la descentralización puede afectar a la estabilidad presupuestaria, al relajar la restricción presupuestaria del gobierno.
'La relevancia del concepto 'sistema regional de innovación' para la formulación de la política de innovación
Authors:   Manchester Institute of Innovation Research, Uyarra Elvira , Flanagan Kieron ,   Manchester Institute of Innovation Research
Published: February 2025

El concepto de «sistemas regionales de innovación» está consolidado en el discurso académico sobre innovación y desarrollo económico y en la práctica de las políticas públicas de apoyo y promoción de la innovación. Como ocurre con el enfoque de los sistemas de innovación en general, el uso del concepto ha trascendido su finalidad analítica inicial, generalizándose su uso en la formulación de políticas. El presente artículo identifica una serie de riesgos asociados con la utilización normativa del término «sistema regional de innovación» y propone la hipótesis de que una mejor comprensión la función desempeñada por las regiones en la formulación y ejecución de políticas puede traducirse en una utilización mucho más cuidadosa y matizada de este concepto.

The article reflects on the right territorial unit to analyse innovation processes, proposing a multilevel approach and taking a step towards developing it in the Basque Country. From an empirical point of view, it contributes to the relatively scarce literature on the study of the interrelations between innovation systems, agglomerations and entrepreneurship. Connected to these three concepts 21 indicators have been used to carry out a cluster analysis following an initial principal components analysis with the results of a typology that group the 20 Basque counties into 5 different classes: 1) capital-urban zones with diverse industry mix; 2) advanced industrial agglomerations; 3) industrial agglomerations with average technological performance 4) small industrial counties and 5) small rural counties.
Reforming the international financial system: core and periphery issues and the dollar Standard
Authors:   Colorado State University, Vasudevan Ramaa
Published: February 2025

The floating dollar standard was rooted in the aggressive pursuit of liberalized financial markets and the asymmetric integration of countries in the periphery into the international financial system. The mechanism of generating international liquidity was buttressed by the concerted advocacy of trade and financial liberalization of developing countries in the interests of preserving dollar dominance. This had enabled fragility to be exported to the periphery through two and a half decades of growing US deficits, while at the same time imparting greater elasticity to the adjustment mechanisms in the core. The debates and negotiations around refashioning the global financial architecture in the wake of the current global crisis need to take these core –periphery issues into account.

Este estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar a prevalência da estratificação de risco cardiovascular em pacientes psiquiátricos atendidos no ambulatório da Universidade CEUMA em Imperatriz, MA, através de um estudo epidemiológico observacional descritivo. Os dados foram coletados de prontuários de 15022 pacientes no período de fevereiro de 2020 a agosto de 2023, com a aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa e utilizando a calculadora de risco cardiovascular da Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia. Com um intervalo de confiança de 99% e margem de erro de 1,5%, foi obtida uma amostra mínima de 4957 prontuários, sendo avaliados 51 ao final. Os resultados mostraram predominância do gênero feminino (82,93%) com idades entre 30 e 84 anos, evidenciando hipertensão e diabetes como os fatores de risco mais comuns. Embora apenas 3 fumantes foram identificados, todas eram mulheres com transtornos depressivos e/ou de ansiedade. Aproximadamente 44% dos pacientes estavam classificados como alto risco cardiovascular, com maior incidência de transtorno de ansiedade generalizada e transtorno depressivo maior. A pesquisa conclui que é fundamental um manejo especial do risco cardiovascular nesses pacientes, com a necessidade de acompanhamento laboratorial e metabólico, visando um plano terapêutico individualizado que garanta anos a mais de vida e melhore a qualidade de vida.

A perícia trabalhista para o Engenheiro de Segurança do Trabalho tem muita importância tanto para convencer o perito em Engenharia de Segurança do Trabalho judiciário, quanto para ajudar o trabalhador a ter um laudo do risco, do dano que ele se encontra ou até mesmo salvar vidas. O objetivo deste trabalho é levantar a importância que uma perícia realizada por um Engenheiro de Segurança do Trabalho, pode melhorar, pode ajudar, pode evitar acidentes ou perigos, pode evitar óbito. E dizer os tipos de perícias trabalhistas e como isso pode ser essencial para o trabalhador. A metodologia foi desenvolvida através de análise bibliográfica, sendo estudados os assuntos para adequar este trabalho com os resultados e conclusões atingindo os objetivos que foram propostos. O resultado é que a perícia trabalhista tem uma grande importância para os profissionais da área de segurança do trabalho, através de laudo eles podem expressar seus conhecimentos técnicos e podem até convencer peritos judiciais. A conclusão é que o laudo é fundamental, como é para um paciente de um médico, também é fundamental para trabalhadores em alguma situação, e que o problema maior é que as empresas não capacitam seus funcionários a saber para quem denunciar em caso risco, de embargo ou interdição da repartição, desse jeito o trabalhador que sabe que corre risco não sabe a quem recorrer se o seu chefe foi acionado e não resolveu o problema.

Seasonal Histomorphological Study of the Gills of Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) in the Tigris River, Iraq

The present study aims to describe the morphological and histological characteristics of the gills in male Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) across four seasons and to highlight the seasonal effects on gill structures under varying temperature conditions. For this purpose, 52 specimens were collected from a rearing aquarium in the Tigris River, within the Taji region of Baghdad, over the course of a year. The fish were sacrificed, and the specimens were fixed in a 10% neutral buffered formalin solution. Routine histological techniques were applied, and the samples were stained using Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS), and Van Gieson (VG) stains. Morphological analysis revealed that the gills of C. carpio consisted of four pairs of gill arches located inside the branchial chamber, equipped with gill rakers and secondary lamellae, all covered by the operculum. The epithelium of the primary lamellae comprised several cell types, including chloride cells (ionocytes), which were rarely observed in the secondary lamellae, as well as pavement cells, non-differentiated supporting cells, and primary epithelial cells. The secondary lamellar epithelium contained all these cell types except for non-differentiated cells and additionally featured pillar cells. Histologically, the gill raker epithelium was identified as a non-keratinized stratified squamous type containing goblet (mucous) cells and two types of taste buds: elongated superficial and spherical. The gill arches’ blood supply was provided by afferent branchial arteries (ABAs) and efferent branchial arteries (EBAs), while afferent filament arteries (AFAs) and efferent filament arteries (EFAs) supplied the primary lamellae. The secondary lamellae were vascularized by afferent and efferent lamellar arterioles. The results demonstrated significant differences (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01) in gill epithelium characteristics across the four seasons. Statistical analyses revealed that inter-lamellar distance varied significantly (P < 0.01) between seasons, which was attributed to temperature fluctuations. The study concluded that carp could adapt to a limited temperature range (23–30°C). However, when water temperatures dropped below the lower threshold (8°C) during winter, the carp’s ability to adapt diminished, leading to increased histological changes compared to other seasons.
