El derrumbe de la identidad (nombre, cuerpo y territorio) por vientos apocalípticos y fantásticos en "Trajiste contigo el viento" de Natalia García Freire
Authors: Vela Hidalgo Alejandra
Published: January 2025

La novela Trajiste contigo el viento (2022) de Natalia García Freire presenta un escenario apocalíptico en los Andes, donde las identidades de los personajes y la comunidad se resquebrajan por la irrupción fantástica del elemento sobrenatural. Se argumenta que la crisis identitaria cuestiona el sistema hegemónico de significación, lo que implica liberación, pero también, paradójicamente, desaparición. Se tratan tres elementos asociados a la identidad: el nombre, el cuerpo y el espacio. Para ello, se utiliza la propuesta sobre la identidad de Echeverría (2019), como elemento dialéctico que se funda en la diferencia entre lo humano y lo animal. Este precepto se complementa con a la noción de lenguaje de Butler (1997), según la cual hay una violencia intrínseca en la interpelación del sujeto. El análisis se enmarca en la literatura fantástica, según la conceptualizan Roas (2001) y Todorov (2001). Primero, se estudia el nombre de la protagonista, Mildred Capa, que devela que lo mestizo tiene la capacidad de escapar la significación hegemónica que ejerce violencia en la interpelación. Segundo, se analizan los cuerpos que pierden sus límites y cuestiona la integridad de la realidad y la identidad. Las llagas y las figuras espectrales son expresiones de cuerpos maleables, abyectos e irrespetuosos de los límites que impone la religión. Finalmente, se explica cómo el espacio pierde su cotidianidad en Cocuán, cuando aparece el elemento fantástico que provoca la crisis. El pueblo se deconstruye y queda en un estado original de conexión con lo primigenio, desde donde resurge. Se concluye que el elemento fantástico pone en crisis la identidad, develando su punto de origen: el estado presimbólico. La desestabilización permite una reconfiguración identitaria que desemboca en un cambio de orden o la destrucción.

The Pragmatics of Stereotypes in Trevor Noah’s Stand-up Comedy Routines
Authors: Castro Bravo Idania Rosa
Published: January 2025

This paper addresses the intricate task of studying humor considering its dependence on cognition, emotions and even human perception. It focuses on the use of stereotypes within verbal humor, having stand-up comedy as the center of the study. Specifically, it examines how Trevor Noah, a South African comedian, utilizes stereotypes to entertain and produce a comic effect in his stand-up comedy. To carry out this study, we used and analyzed a real corpus based on 11 television-mediated stand-up comedy shows. These routines were performed by Noah between 2009 and 2022. Consequently, the study has been based on a mixed methodology, considering the qualitative and quantitative paradigms for its completion. The quantitative paradigm, particular to corpus linguistics, served to quantify the number of occurrences of the different stereotypes in the TREVOR-UP corpus, whereas the qualitative paradigm helped in describing and analyzing the sequences containing stereotypical views in detail. The study and examination of stereotypes showed that 90.3% of the sequences of TREVOR-UP corpus contained a stereotypical reference being the cultural stereotypical views, the most recurrent in the corpus. In addition, the use of race/ethnicity, political, and language stereotypes are frequent and follow the cultural stereotypical views in aiding the construct of Trevor Noah’s humorous discourse. The use of the different stereotypical categories was directly connected to the use of a significant amount of the different rhetorical-pragmatic strategies described, focusing on mitigation and direct speech. Lastly, the application of the Intersecting Circles Model (ICM) of humorous communication proposed by Francisco Yus in 2013, evidenced that the collective cultural assumptions based on stereotypical instances which in turn, activates the cultural frame, is a common practice by the comedian when performing. Accordingly, this showed that the use of the makesense frame + cultural frame in ICM altogether, is employed to manipulate and predict the audience’s response to the comedian’s particular humorous discourse.

Background and Aim: Bali-polled bulls, known for their favorable traits, require advanced reproductive performance analysis to optimize breeding programs. This study aimed to evaluate sperm kinematics and seminal plasma proteomic profiles as biomarkers for sperm motility and fertility in Bali-polled bulls.

Materials and Methods: Semen from five Bali-polled bulls was collected biweekly over five batches using artificial vaginas. Sperm kinematics were assessed using computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA). Fertility was evaluated through service per conception (S/C) in artificial insemination trials. Seminal plasma proteins were analyzed through liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and annotated using the UniProt database, PANTHER for gene ontology, and STRING database for protein interactions.

Results: Post-thaw sperm kinematics showed satisfactory results, with a mean S/C of 1.52. Proteomic analysis identified 138 proteins, including six (TEX101, BSP1, PRSS55, BSP3, SPADH2, and TPPP2) linked to sperm motility. These proteins were involved in key biological processes such as sperm capacitation, motility regulation, and sperm-oocyte interaction.

Conclusion: Sperm kinematics and seminal plasma proteomics provide insights into Bali-polled bull fertility. Identified proteins can serve as fertility biomarkers, aiding in superior local breed development and reproductive efficiency improvement.

Keywords: artificial insemination, Bali-polled bulls, fertility biomarkers, seminal plasma proteomics, sperm kinematics.

Doktori értekezésünkben a dél-franciaországi és
magyarországi utazók által 1881 és 1914 között írt úti beszámolók
összehasonlító vizsgálatára vállalkoztunk. Eredményeink
egyértelműen bizonyítják, hogy néhány részletet leszámítva (a
szövegek bevezetőjének és összefoglalásának tartalma, az érintett
területek megnevezése) az útleírások szerkezete, tartalma és
stílusa rendkívül hasonló. A politikailag, társadalmilag és
kulturálisan eltérő kontextus ellenére az utazóknak nem sikerült
túllépniük a Franciaország által akkoriban "pacifikált" Algéria és
Tunézia ismétlődő, felületes és sztereotip leírásán. Az utazók
származási helyétől függetlenül hasonló elemekre és jelenségekre
koncentrálnak. Az utazót körülvevő természet alapos, tudományos
vagy esztétikai bemutatása, mely többnyire távolról és a mozgó
jármű ablakán keresztül valósult meg, valamennyi szövegben
aránytalanul nagy szerepet kap. Ezzel szemben a találkozások és a
beszélgetések szinte teljesen hiányoznak. Az utazókban csalódást
kelt az áhított "Kelet" eltűnése. A hagyományok leegyszerűsödéséért
és átalakulásáért egyaránt az európai jelenléttel járó
„modernizálódást” okolják. Az olvasóknak feltűnő a valódi
információk hiánya. Az utazók kerülik az őslakosokkal való
kapcsolatfelvételt és a kialakult rendszerrel, a lakosok
életkörülményeivel és a gyarmatosítás "rejtett aspektusaival"
kapcsolatos témák említését. A kutatás eredményei meggyőznek minket
arról, hogy az utazók – magyarok és franciák egyaránt –, akaratuk
ellenére sem tudták elkerülni a kijelölt turistautakat, s nem
járhattak olyan területeken, melyek nem voltak felkészítve az
európai tömegek érkezésére. Következésképpen nem tudták igazán
kiegészíteni a korábbi útleírások tartalmát. A szövegek közötti
hasonlóságok bizonyítják, hogy az utazók származási helye nem
számít jelentősen a szövegek tartalma szempontjából. Azonban, az
általunk elemzett útleírásokban az utazók foglalkozásuktól és
érdeklődési körüktől függően (de életkoruktól függetlenül!)
különböző "hangok" lelhetők fel. Elemzésünk során kilenc "hangot"
azonosítottunk ("turisták", "a gyarmatosítás támogatói", "független
utazók", "tanácsadók", "professzorok", "tudósok", "szakemberek",
"művészek" és "nők"). Tízedikként említjük a „csendet”, az
elhallgatott információkat, melyek a propaganda célokat szolgáló
útleírások kulcselemeként bizonyítják, hogy a turisták a
gyarmatokról alkotott manipulált kép terjesztésének rendkívül
fontos eszközeivé váltak. Eredményeink több új kutatási irányt
jelölnek ki, melyek közül legfontosabbnak a korpusz bővítését,
valamint a tudásátadás mechanizmusainak vizsgálatát tartjuk.
Miért éppen Amerika(i foci)? – Hazai NFL-szurkolók csapatválasztásának indokai az identifikáció tükrében
Authors: Kajos Attila
Published: January 2025

A globalizálódott sportpiac egyik fő mozgatórugója a klubtól elkülönülő piacokon élő, de klub iránt rajongó ún. ”szatellit szurkoló”. Jelen cikk célja, hogy a társas identitás elméleti kereteit felhasználva megértse, hogy miként válnak magyar sportfogyasztók egy kulturálisan be nem ágyazott sporttermék, az amerikai football, az NFL és csapatainak szurkolójává, és mennyiben különböztetik meg magukat más sportok és csapatok szurkolóitól. A 437 szurkoló részvételével készült kérdőív révén a kedvenc csapat kiválasztásának 22 forrását különítette el a szerző, amelyek közül a csapat sztárjátékosa, az első megnézett mérkőzés egyik csapata és a csapat ereje és játékstílusa a leggyakoribb indokok. Az eredmények alapján a hazai NFL-szurkolók sokkal inkább látnak különbséget általában az NFL-csapatok szurkolói és a hagyományos csapatsportok szurkolói között, mint az egyes NFL-csapatok szurkolóbázisai esetében. Mindezek alapján kijelenthető, hogy a magyar NFL-szurkolók kialakult identitástudattal rendelkeznek, ami elsődlegesen a sportágra és másodsorban a csapatra irányul.
A kávé érzékszervi hatásainak megjelenése a közösségimédia-marketingben

Published: January 2025

A fogyasztói trendek jelentős hatást gyakorolnak a kávépiacra, a kávékultúrára. Az élmények és az egészséges életmód,vés ezek összhangja egyre fontosabb az online felületeken is, amely új kihívások elé állítja a gyártókat és forgalmazókat. Jelen kutatás célja, hogy rámutasson azokra a vizuális megoldásokra a közösségi médiában, amelyek hozzájárulhatnak a kávévásárlási szokások befolyásolásához. A szerzők kutatásuk során a netnográfia módszertanát alkalmazták az Instagramon, amelyet a Grounded Theory elméletén alapuló adatelemzés követett. Három gyártó (márka) 153 képes és videós bejegyzése alapján nyolc témakört és azokhoz kapcsolódó üzenetet tudtak azonosítani. A fő üzenetek elsősorban a kávézást mint élményt mutatják be (kikapcsolódás, ellazulás), emellett megjelenik a kávé mint kedvelt íz és hatás, amelyet képi és hangeffektusokkal kísérnek. Összességében elmondható, hogy a bejegyzések többlettartalommal rendelkeznek, de az ösztönzés elsősorban a kávéfogyasztás érzelmi stimulálására fókuszál, a tudatos (értelmi) hatás, mint az egészséges táplálkozásba való beillesztés, a fenntartható kávéválaszték megjelenése nagyon parciális a közösségi felületen.
Developing an effective approach to assess pavement condition for high friction surface treatment (HFST) installation
Authors: Roshan Alireza , Abdelrahman Magdy
Published: January 2025

For more than two decades, High Friction Surfacing Treatments (HFST) have been used worldwide to improve road safety at critical locations, such as sharp curves and intersections. However, the costs associated with HFST installation and the rapid deterioration observed on pavements with poor structural conditions cannot be overlooked. To address these concerns, this research study sought a reliable and accurate method for assessing the suitability of applying HFST to pavements. The main focus was on using machine learning techniques and incorporating International Roughness Index (IRI) and Pavement Condition Index (PCI) data to predict and provide informed recommendations for HFST application. To achieve this, ensemble models were employed, of which the decision tree and extreme gradient boosting showed robust performance, achieving an impressive R-squared value of 0.90, indicating a high level of accuracy in predicting PCI. These models were further assessed for HFST application using the LTPP dataset, with sections classified as suitable and categorised them as good, fair, or poor. The suggestions from these models were particularly reliable in determining the appropriate area for HFST application. The research results clearly demonstrated the efficacy of the ensemble models in accurately predicting PCI and providing informed recommendations for HFST application.

Pedagogies of Possibility: The Integration of Asset-Based Equity Pedagogies and Project-Based Learning
Authors: Hinnant-Crawford Brandi , Virtue Emily , Bergeron Liz
Published: January 2025

While project-based learning (PBL) and asset-based equity pedagogies (ABEPs) have traditionally been studied separately, there is reason to believe that the combination of the two strategies can produce unimaginable. This study examines the relationships between students’ perception of both PBL and ABEPs as it relates to non-academic outcomes such as problem-solving abilities, likelihood to persist, and civic consciousness and engagement.  Bivariate regression was used to determine the degree to which exposure to PBL and ABEPs explains the variance in student outcomes.  Student focus group data confirms and expands our quantitative findings.
Caracterización química y estructural avanzada de desperdicios de memoria RAM: Un enfoque hacia la reciclabilidad y seguridad ambiental
Authors: Gómez Acosta Luis Gabriel , Orozco Hernández Giovany , Quintero Bernal Daniel Fernando
Published: January 2025

Este estudio aborda la caracterización química y estructural de polvos derivados de la molienda de desechos de memorias RAM, enfocándose en la identificación de su composición química (elementos metálicos y no metálicos). Mediante el uso de técnicas avanzadas como espectroscopía de energía dispersiva de rayos X (EDS) y difracción de rayos X, se detectó una variedad de elementos y compuestos tanto metálicos (Cu, Si, Sn) como no metálicos (fibra de vidrio) esenciales en la manufactura de placas de circuitos electrónicos. Además, se evaluaron las concentraciones de elementos ambientalmente peligrosos (Pb, As, Cd) y bifenilos policlorados, encontrando que, en su mayoría, están dentro de los niveles autorizados por las regulaciones internacionales, lo que sugiere que estos desechos son relativamente seguros desde una perspectiva ecológica. No obstante, se observaron niveles de plomo superiores a los límites establecidos, lo que indica la necesidad de un manejo cuidadoso. Este trabajo contribuye al conocimiento sobre la composición de los desechos electrónicos y subraya la importancia de desarrollar procesos de reciclaje efectivos y seguros para mitigar los posibles riesgos ambientales.
Governança educativa local e transferência de políticas para a infância na América Latina e Caribe
Authors: Bortot Camila Maria , Scaff Elisangela Alves da Silva
Published: January 2025

O artigo analisa a difusão da agenda de governança global para a infância na ALC por meio da transferência de políticas educacionais entre Organismos Multilaterais (OM) e suas configurações nos contextos nacionais. A partir de uma metodologia documental descritivo-analítica, documentos nacionais e internacionais são examinados para mapear políticas e programas de educação infantil incorporados pelos países por meio de acordos com os OM. A análise destaca a convergência entre a agenda global-regional e as políticas de educação infantil na região, com destaque para o papel significativo desempenhado pelos OM na transferência de práticas exitosas. Nesse contexto, organizações como Unesco e Unicef atuam como mediadoras nesse processo, por meio da construção de alianças e institucionalização de políticas, como aquelas intersetoriais não formais para a Educação da Infância. A transferência de políticas educacionais, combinada com a pesquisa sobre as redes de especialistas globais, contribui para a compreensão dos mecanismos de reprodução e adaptação das políticas globais aos contextos locais. Em síntese, o estudo ressalta que o alinhamento de agendas internacionais e nacionais influencia a implementação de reformas educacionais nos países da América Latina e Caribe, não se constituindo como um fenômeno espontâneo, mas uma construção social e política.
Mapping the community school policy network using Twitter data and social network analysis
Authors: Mayger Linda K. , Provinzano Kathleen
Published: January 2025

This research sought to understand how organizations have adapted to the evolving policy ecosystem to scale and sustain a justice-orientated approach to education reform. Using descriptive social network analysis to map the policy information network that formed around Community Schools, the authors identified the influential organizations in the network and described key characteristics of its structure. They drew from Twitter data and related media articles over a five-year period to categorize the actors engaged in the Community School information network and map its geographic distribution across the United States. The findings depict a broad, multi-state network focused on promoting a proactive, positive policy agenda that differed substantially from those described in extant studies of resource networks that advance neoliberal education reforms. The authors close by discussing Twitter as a policy platform and how community-based coalitions can influence education politics and policy.
THE MARGINALIZATION EXPERIENCED BY THE SURVIVING SPECIAL ASSAULT PILOTS, ALSO KNOWN AS TOKUBETSU KOUGEKI, DURING WORLD WAR II.
Authors: Nurita Wayan
Published: January 2025

Abstract 要約: 本稿では、第二次世界大戦中の特攻（特別攻撃）において戦死しなかった特攻隊員に対する周縁化について論じている。本研究において用いたデータは、特攻の使命を受けてその任務にあたった元特攻隊員へのインタビュー結果について、日本語で書かれ日本で出版された書籍に基づく文献調査により得たものである。加えて、自決を強いられるこの任務を遂行する前に特攻隊員らが胸の内を記した遺稿集等も分析した。研究方法としては、解釈的・質的・記述的研究方法を用いた。本研究に用いた理論は、グラムシのヘゲモニー論、バーカーのメディアに関する理論、フーコーの知と権力の理論である。データ収集においては、スギヨノによるデータ収集技術（文献・文書調査を含む）を用いた。データの分析結果から、特攻任務において戦死しなかった特攻隊員は極度の周縁化的扱いを受けたことがわかった。例えば、生きて帰還した特攻隊員は振武寮での幽閉、上官による叱咤、侮辱を受け、それを受けることによる精神的苦痛に見舞われた。振武寮での幽閉期間中、彼らは次の特攻で必ず死んで来るよう命じられていた。また、戦争中は特攻隊員を軍神と崇めていたにもかかわらず、日本の敗戦後は手の平を返したように、元特攻隊員を国賊だと罵る一般市民の目にも苛まれた。さらに、戦後において、自身が受勲した勲章の剥奪や、特攻隊員の家族が受け取った見舞金の返金を要請されるなどといった物理的圧迫も受けている。
BLACK COMPANY AS SOCIAL PROBLEM IN JAPANESE FILM: A SOCIO-LITERARY AND READER RESPONSE ANALYSIS
Authors: Mulyadi, S.Pd.,M.Hum. Budi , Rahwati Wawat , Angela Bella
Published: January 2025

This study examines the issue of black companies (buraku geisha) in two Japanese films: Burakku Gaisha ni Tsutometerundaga, Mou Ore wa Genkai Kamoshirenai (2009), and Chotto Ima Kara Shigoto wo Yamete Kuru (2017). Black companies are a social problem in Japanese society, where many companies exploit their employees by forcing them to work excessive hours for low wages. This has become a serious issue, leading to the phenomenon of karoshi, or death because of overwork. The research analyzes how the two films portray the black company issue and the perspectives of the characters in these films towards it.  This research also examines how Japanese society responds to the problem as depicted in the films. This qualitative research employs a combined approach of sociological literary and reader-response perspectives, focusing on the societal aspects of the film by examining the discourses related to social problems and the social itself. The result based on that analysis of the films and the application of the two perspectives shows that the characters’ views provide a reflective portrayal of the social issues currently faced by Japanese society

Koncept wolności we współczesnej poezji białoruskiej: na podstawie projektu Radio Svaboda "Верш на свабоду" (Wiersz dla Svabody)
Authors: Kowalow Siergiej
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to the reflection of the theme of freedom in contemporary Belarusian poetry based on the material of the unique project “Radio Svaboda” Poem for Freedom. Every day during 2001, a new author’s “poem for freedom” was broadcast on Radio Svaboda, and in 2002, all 365 poems were published as a separate book. The anthology Poem for Freedom reflects the collective perception of freedom in Belarusian society at the beginning of the new millennium. If in the poems of older poets, both professional writers and amateurs, freedom is unequivocally associated with the state independence of Belarus from Russia, with the liberation of Belarusian society from the political dictatorship of Alexander Lukashenko, then in the texts of younger Belarusian poets, as well as in the work of their peers from democratic countries Europe, the problems of individual freedom, responsibility for freedom in the post-industrial society are more clearly raised. At the same time, the anthology Poem for Freedom reflects important trends in the development of Belarusian poetry in the late 20th and early 21st centuries: 1) politicization and ideologising of poetry, turning it into poetic journalism (in the works of older authors), 2) de-ideologizing the artistic text, saturating it with postmodern irony, transforming text in performance (in the works of younger authors)
Przywyknąć do konformizmu. O postawach czeskich uczonych wobec reżimu totalitarnego (w reprezentacjach literackich)

Published: January 2025

Problematyka destrukcji idei wolności uniwersyteckiej oraz „zdrady intelektualistów” czyli całkowite zawłaszczenie oraz ideologizacja  przestrzeni akademickiej przez polityczne mechanizmy kontrolne do dziś stanowi przedmiot zainteresowania historyków, etyków i publicystów.Dla dziejów nauki czeskiej mniej istotne wydają się osobiste pobudki, jakimi kierowali się zmuszani do odwoływania własnych przeświadczeń uczeni, większą wagę przywiązywać należy bowiem do ogromu spustoszeń wywołanych w sferze rozwoju, a spowodowanych zredukowaniem przestrzeni metodologicznej i teoretycznej do  teorii i metody jednej – w uproszczony sposób wywodzonej z filozofii marksistowskiej. Pobudki takie nabierają ciężaru gatunkowego w literackichreprezentacjach środowiska naukowego.  W rzeczywistości reżimowych represji, w której przemoc obejmowała wszystkie obszary życia i nie omijała żadnej grupy społecznej, środowisko uczonych  mieściło się co prawda na marginesie głównego nurtu tematyki poruszanej przez odwilżowych, dysydenckich czy emigracyjnych pisarzy, ale pojawiało się w ich tekstach, zwłaszcza, choć nie wyłącznie, w dziełach twórców dysponujących profesjonalnym doświadczeniem w pracy akademickiej, i –prowadzących przewrotną i często skomplikowaną grę zarówno z elementami autobiografizmu, jak i z konwencjami roman à clef.

Santos, SCR, Oliveira, AR, Costa, RA, Nascimento, KSB, Alvares, PD, Medeiros, FB, Assumpção, CO, Ramos, GP, Banja, T, Veneroso, CE, Claudino, JGO, and Cabido, CET. Stretch-shortening cycle utilization in female and male soccer players: A systematic review. J Strength Cond Res 38(10): e600–e625, 2024—The stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) enhances strength and power in soccer players. However, little consistent information is found on expected SSC utilization in soccer players. The aim of the present study was to provide information on SSC utilization in soccer players of different sexes, ages, and competitive levels through the calculation of the percent of prestretch augmentation (PPA ((CMJ − SJ)/SJ × 100)). A systematic review was performed of studies involving soccer players. After screening 3,921 studies, 214 assessing a total of 11,941 players were considered eligible. Twenty studies involved females (747 subjects), 16 of which involved professionals (380 players), and 7 of which involved nonprofessionals (367 players). One hundred ninety-seven studies involved males (11,194 subjects), 56 of which involved professionals (2,508 players), 16 involved semiprofessionals (698 players), and 135 involved young athletes [67 involved postpubertal youths (2,439 players) and 85 involved youths (5,549 players)]. Prestretch augmentation was 9.35% (95% CI: 6.33–12.38%) for professional and 5.73% (95% CI: 3.06–8.40%) for nonprofessional female players. For males, PPA was 6.16% (95% CI: 5.03–7.29%) for professional players, 8.55% (95% CI: 5.76–11.33%) for semiprofessionals, 6.64% (95% CI: 5.76–7.53%) for postpubertal youths, and 7.00% (95% CI: 6.11–7.90%) for youths. Stretch-shortening cycle utilization measured based on PPA in the sample studied ranged from 3.06 to 12.38%. These values could serve as reference to indicate the appropriate use of SSC among soccer players according to competitive level and sex, which could help coaches and physical trainers develop appropriate training programs.
Cortical HFS-Induced Neo-Hebbian Local Plasticity Enhances Efferent Output Signal and Strengthens Afferent Input Connectivity

High-frequency stimulation (HFS)-induced long–term potentiation (LTP) is generally regarded as a homosynaptic Hebbian-type LTP, where synaptic changes are thought to occur at the synapses that project from the stimulation site and terminate onto the neurons at the recording site. In this study, we first investigated HFS-induced LTP on urethane-anesthetized rats and found that cortical HFS enhances neural responses at the recording site through the strengthening of local connectivity with nearby neurons at the stimulation site rather than through synaptic strengthening at the recording site. This enhanced local connectivity at the stimulation site leads to increased output propagation, resulting in signal potentiation at the recording site. Additionally, we discovered that HFS can also nonspecifically strengthen distant afferent synapses at the HFS site, thereby expanding its impact beyond local neural connections. This form of plasticity exhibits a neo-Hebbian characteristic as it exclusively manifests in the presence of cholecystokinin release, induced by HFS. The cortical HFS-induced local LTP was further supported by a behavioral task, providing additional evidence. Our results unveil a previously overlooked mechanism underlying cortical plasticity: synaptic plasticity is more likely to occur around the soma site of strongly activated cortical neurons rather than solely at their projection terminals.

Chronic pain is a debilitative disease affecting one in five adults globally and is a major risk factor for anxiety ( Goldberg and McGee, 2011; Lurie, 2018). Given the current dearth of available treatments for both individuals living with chronic pain and mental illnesses, there is a critical need for research into the molecular mechanisms involved in order to discover novel treatment targets. Cellular homeostasis is crucial for normal bodily functions, and investigations of this process may provide better understanding of the mechanisms driving the development of chronic pain. Using the spared nerve injury (SNI) model of neuropathic pain, we found contrasting roles for BECLIN-1 in the development of pain hypersensitivity and anxiety-like behaviors in a sex-dependent manner. Remarkably, we found that male SNI mice with impaired BECLIN-1 function demonstrated heightened mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity compared with male wild-type SNI mice, while female SNI mice with impaired BECLIN-1 function demonstrated similar thresholds to the female wild-type SNI mice. We also found that disruptions of BECLIN-1 prevented SNI-induced increases in anxiety-like behaviors in male mice. Our data thus indicate that BECLIN-1 is differentially involved in the nociceptive and emotional components of chronic pain in male but not female mice.
Cross-Validating the Electrophysiological Markers of Early Face Categorization

Human face categorization has been extensively studied using event-related potentials (ERPs), positing the N170 ERP component as a robust neural marker of face categorization. Recently, the fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) approach relying on steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) has also been used to investigate face categorization. FPVS studies consistently report strong bilateral SSVEP face categorization responses over the occipitotemporal cortex, with a right hemispheric dominance, closely mirroring the N170 scalp topography. However, it remains unclear whether SSVEP responses can be considered a proxy for the N170 or are driven by different components. To address this question, we recorded electrophysiological signals from observers viewing face and object images during FPVS and ERP paradigms. We quantified the FPVS response in the frequency domain and extracted ERP components, including the P1, N170, and P2, from both the FPVS time domain and ERP paradigms. Our results revealed little relationship between any single ERP component and the FPVS frequency response. Only the peak-to-peak differences between N170 and P2 components consistently explained the FPVS frequency response. Our data show that the FPVS frequency response reflects a later complex neural integration rather than any isolated ERP component, such as the N170. These findings raise important methodological and theoretical considerations regarding the relationship between SSVEPs and transient ERPs. While both markers are indicative of human face categorization, they appear to capture different stages of this cognitive process.

The human hippocampus, essential for learning and memory, is implicated in numerous neurological and psychiatric disorders, each linked to specific neuronal subpopulations. Advancing our understanding of hippocampal function requires computational models grounded in precise quantitative neuronal data. While extensive data exist on the neuronal composition and synaptic architecture of the rodent hippocampus, analogous quantitative data for the human hippocampus remain very limited. Given the critical role of local GABAergic interneurons in modulating hippocampal functions, we employed unbiased stereological techniques to estimate the density and total number of three major GABAergic cell types in the male and female human hippocampus: parvalbumin (PV)-expressing, somatostatin (SOM)-positive, and calretinin (CR)-positive interneurons. Our findings reveal an estimated 49,400 PV-positive, 141,500 SOM-positive, and 250,600 CR-positive interneurons per hippocampal hemisphere. Notably, CR-positive interneurons, which are primarily interneuron-selective in rodents, were present in humans at a higher proportion. Additionally, using 3-dimensional electron microscopy, we estimated approximately 25 billion GABAergic synapses per hippocampal hemisphere, with PV-positive boutons comprising around 3.5 billion synapses, or 14% of the total GABAergic synapses. These findings contribute crucial quantitative insights for modeling human hippocampal circuits and understanding its complex regulatory dynamics.

Significance StatementUnderstanding the operating principles of cortical networks is a major goal in neuroscience, requiring a detailed description of cortical neurons, including their proportions, densities, and, most critically, their absolute numbers. Such precise quantification is essential for constructing predictive computational models of neuronal circuits. In this study, we present the density and total number of three major, non-overlapping GABAergic cell groups across each layer of the human hippocampus. Additionally, we quantify the total number of all GABAergic boutons and synapses, as well as separately quantifying those originating from parvalbumin (PV)-positive cells within each of the 15 hippocampal layers. This dataset provides a foundational framework for accurately modeling hippocampal inhibition at the cellular level.

Published: January 2025

Pancasila, as Indonesia’s foundational ideology, plays a central role in shaping the country’s legal framework. However, its application in contemporary legal reform presents significant challenges amidst evolving societal dynamics and international legal debates. This study critically evaluates the incorporation of Pancasila within Indonesia’s legal reform processes, emphasizing its relevance in addressing domestic and global tensions. The urgency of this research stems from growing critiques of Indonesia’s legal alignment with international standards while preserving its ideological roots. Concurrently, the rise of globalization and pluralism demands an adaptive yet principled approach to Pancasila’s integration into modern legal structures. This research provides a novel perspective by analyzing specific legal cases and policy reforms where Pancasila principles have been contested or reinterpreted. Through a doctrinal and socio-legal analysis, the study examines the compatibility of Pancasila with contemporary global legal norms, including human rights, environmental law, and economic governance. Furthermore, it explores Indonesia’s engagement in international debates on the role of ideology in law, offering insights into the challenges of balancing national identity with global expectations. The findings reveal that while Pancasila remains a unifying framework, its inconsistent application risks undermining its potential to guide inclusive and sustainable legal reforms. This study contributes to the broader discourse by proposing actionable recommendations for harmonizing Pancasila with international legal developments while safeguarding Indonesia’s ideological integrity. It serves as a critical resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners navigating the intersection of ideology, law, and globalization.

Published: January 2025

Indonesian law reform faces persistent challenges stemming from fragmented human resource capacity, which undermines the coherence and effectiveness of justice delivery. This study critically examines the interplay between human resource development and the success of legal reform in Indonesia, emphasizing the urgent need to address systemic inefficiencies and skill gaps. As globalization and complex socio-legal issues demand more sophisticated legal systems, the pressure on Indonesia’s legal institutions to enhance their human resource capabilities has intensified. The novelty of this research lies in its focused analysis of human resource capacity as a critical yet underexplored dimension of Indonesian law reform. By employing a socio-legal methodology, the study identifies key factors contributing to fragmentation, including uneven competency levels, inadequate training, and lack of coordination among legal institutions. It further evaluates the role of education, professional development, and policy frameworks in fostering a coherent and competent legal workforce. The findings demonstrate that a robust, well-coordinated human resource strategy is essential for advancing legal reforms and delivering justice effectively. This research contributes to the discourse by proposing actionable solutions, including curriculum reforms, capacity-building initiatives, and collaborative networks among legal practitioners, academics, and policymakers. By addressing the critical gap in human resource capacity, this study provides a pathway for achieving a coherent legal system that upholds justice and aligns with Indonesia’s broader development goals.

Objectives

To evaluate whether a person-centered care practice following surgery for pituitary tumors increased psychological well-being. Secondary aims were to study whether person-centered care would lead to better health status, less fatigue and better self-efficacy.

Design and methods

This study is a prospective, single-center study using a quasi-experimental design to evaluate the effect of a 12-month person-centered practice by means of a name-given nurse care manager, an interdisciplinary team and peer support against usual care. All patients (≥18 years) with a benign pituitary tumor and planned for endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery were consecutively invited to participate. Psychological well-being, self-reported health, fatigue and self-efficacy were assessed before surgery, at discharge and 3–6 and 12 months after surgery.

Results

In total, 86 patients in the intervention group and 68 patients in the control group were included. Psychological well-being improved 12 months following surgery in both groups to comparable levels. The intervention group had a greater improvement in anxiety compared to the control group (P = 0.02). No differences were seen between groups in self-reported health status, fatigue or self-efficacy. Patients in the intervention group with other types of pituitary tumors than non-functioning pituitary adenomas showed a greater improvement in psychological well-being than in the control group.

Conclusion

Our intervention did not result in major advantages in terms of health or psychological well-being. The study does, however, suggest that the intervention may reduce anxiety 12 months after surgery and that certain subgroups of patients may benefit more from a structured person-centered practice following pituitary surgery.

Pediatric home health care represents a vital system of care for children with disability and medical complexity, encompassing services provided by family caregivers and nonfamily home health care providers and the use of durable medical equipment and supplies. Home health care is medically necessary for the physiologic health of children with disability and medical complexity and for their participation and function within home, school, and community settings. While the study of pediatric home health care in the United States has increased in the last decade, its research remains primarily methodologically limited to observational studies. Dedicated funding and research efforts are needed to transform American home health care research to address multifaceted outcomes valued by families and providers as well as payers and government programs. In this paper, we review the recent literature in pediatric home health care and then propose an actional agenda that could address its missing evidence base. We posit that pediatricians should partner with family caregiving experts and patients to advance knowledge about child and family health outcomes, home health care use, new models of care, and optimal approaches to education and training while also considering meaningful approaches to address disparities. The creation of an American pediatric home health care data-sharing consortium, patient registry, and reproducible access and quality measures is also needed. Most importantly, efforts should center on patient- and family-centered health priorities, with the goal of ensuring equitable outcomes for every child and family.
