Paratextos y prosa de ficción en el Siglo de Oro: los entresijos de la escritura
Authors: Núñez Rivera Valentín
Published: February 2025

En los prólogos y dedicatorias el autor escribe sobre sí mismo, ofreciendo una imagen de su vida y de su obra con la que pretende diversos cometidos, desde instalarse adecuadamente en el campo literario del contexto que ocupa a promover el producto de consumo ofrecido a los lectores y a un dedicatario en particular. Este volumen colectivo ofrece precisamente una perspectiva amplia del desarrollo de la prosa de ficción en el Siglo de Oro, a través de las ideas literarias de sus creadores, plasmadas en los prólogos, además de otras particularidades de la creación o de su carrera literaria (gestión y promoción personal) a partir de las dedicatorias. En ambos textos se identifican diversas estrategias y marcas de representación y reflexión autorial (biografía, carrera literaria, obra completa, recepción, mecenazgo, polémicas, poetología…) cuyo análisis supone un avance en el conocimiento de los escritores desde su dimensión de productores y gestores del texto literario y del género editorial.
Participation in modeling social-ecological systems across scales in agriculture and forestry
Authors: Meyer Markus , Dou Yue , Van Delden Hedwig , Nguyen Thanh Thi , Lippe Melvin
Published: February 2025

Participatory approaches have gained recognition in scientific research, particularly in modeling human-environmental interactions and social-ecological systems (SES). Despite this achievement, a lack of in-depth understanding prevails to which degree, and at which scales and levels, participation takes place during the modeling cycle. Furthermore, information on the linkages between the level of the participating stakeholders and the modeling level of agents and environmental processes remains scarce. To shed light on this research gap, we conducted a systematic review including 79 relevant studies focusing on social-ecological systems within agricultural or forestry domains. Results reveal that participation was mostly carried out at lower spatial levels (local and regional) while stakeholders commonly originated from one spatial level, mainly the study area. Agent behavior was mainly simulated at a single spatial level. The number of studies modeling multi- and cross-scale levels or integrating participation was small. In rare cross-level modeling cases, local-level agents were predominately simulated as an aggregate at higher levels. We found that stakeholders most commonly participated in model parameterization and calibration, but rarely in model results communication. Participation was also relatively strong in model design, development and validation. This can be explained by the need of scientists for model input or to improve the transparency of the modeling process. To address these gaps in future studies, we recommend to model agents operating at their “real-world” level, while capturing interactions between agents across different scales, rather than (dis)aggregate agent behaviors to a single level. Furthermore, participation should go beyond fulfilling the mere scientific requirement of model development, and should be used to enhance the applicability and relevance of SES models.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo estimar el costo de oportunidad del inversionista (Ke) para los países miembros del (MILA) en el periodo 2018-2023, usando el modelo Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Para esto fue fundamental realizar una revisión bibliográfica que justificara plenamente la forma de determinar el valor de los parámetros usados de cada una de las variables del modelo CAPM. Este es un estudio cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo. Los resultados sugieren que no siempre el CAPM es un modelo aplicable para calcular el costo del patrimonio, ya que los resultados del (Ke) de Colombia son negativos mientras que, los resultados de México, Chile y Perú convergen y son positivos.

of aesthetic cognition and text’s morphological characteristics, their
interpretation in the aspect of style formation. The constructive
parameter of text expressed in grammar is taken to be the category
of deixis, expressed linguistically and aesthetically. Elements
of hierarchically organized deictic field can serve as tools in
reconstruction of text’s meaning, as demonstrated by interpretation
of «The Gift» by V. Nabokov.
A Traumatic Modality: the City in Herta Müller’s «Reisende auf einem Bein»
Authors:   University of Illinois, Kabanova D.S.
Published: February 2025

Herta Müller’s Reisende auf einem Bein provides material for
reflection on complex correlation between traumatic subjectivity and
representation of urban space in postmodernist Groβstadtroman.
Bringing together post-Lacanian trauma theory and Henri Lefebvre’s
concept of space, the article argues that the fragmented city in
Reisende is not only a textual manifestation of traumatic experience,
but simultaneously a therapeutic reconstruction of the possibility of
symbolizing trauma.

Mujeres y política local en México: participación de la mujer en el poder legislativo oaxaqueño
Authors: Bohórquez-Rodríguez Alma Ruth , Cárdenas-Cabello Fernando
Published: February 2025

Durante años, las mujeres han librado una dura batalla a fin de obtener mayores espacios en la esfera política del estado de Oaxaca. Pues como la historia lo marca, la representación de la mujer en el legislativo subnacional no ha sido tarea fácil, ya que se trató de un largo camino acortar la brecha en igualdad representativa. Esta, desde 2018, marcó un precedente en este ámbito, pues la LXIV y la LXV se consideran las legislaturas de la paridad por tener una representación de 22 y 26 mujeres respectivamente; esto fue consecuencia de la aprobación de las reformas en materia de paridad de género que se empezaron a aplicar en el 2014. El estudio tuvo como propósito mostrar la historia de la representación de la mujer en el legislativo oaxaqueño, con el objetivo de verificar si la representación descriptiva (presencia numérica) en el Congreso se ve reflejada en igualdad sustantiva (un trabajo legislativo con perspectiva de género).

Authors:   Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University, Adygezalova Mehpara B.
Published: February 2025

One of the most important tasks facing petroleum engineers today is the implementation of comprehensive measures to prevent corrosion and salt precipitation processes in the storage and transportation system of high-paraffin oils. In order to prolong the service life of oil field facilities, this article presents the results of laboratory research on a multifunctional compound composition with high efficiency against salt precipitation and electrochemical corrosion. Analyzing the results of numerous research works revealed that a concentration of 100 mg/l of composition M-5 exhibited high efficiency against both corrosion and salt precipitation in alkaline and neutral formation waters and in different solvent media (kerosene and diesel fuel). In case of kerosene solvent medium, in hard formation water the corrosion rate was 0.0087 g/m2 · h (efficiency 98%), salt precipitation was 0.41 g/l (efficiency 93%); in alkaline formation water, the corrosion rate was 0.0625 g/m2 · h (efficiency 92%), salt precipitation was 0.42 g/l (efficiency 90%); in neutral formation water, the corrosion rate was 0.1024g/m2 · h (efficiency 90%), salt precipitation was 0.32 g/l (efficiency 91%). These indicators were also evaluated o in diesel fuel medium, where in hard formation water the corrosion rate was 0.0129 g/m2 · h (efficiency 99.9%), salt precipitation was 0.12 g/l (efficiency 98%); in alkaline formation water the corrosion rate was 0.0234 g/m2 · h (efficiency 97%), salt precipitation was 0.29 g/l (efficiency 93%); in neutral formation water the corrosion rate was 0.0819 g/m2 · h (efficiency 92%), salt precipitation was 0.72 g/l (efficiency 98%).
Pesquisa em Educação Ambiental e Questões Epistemológicas: (Re) Construção do tecido epistemológico
Authors: Silva Fernanda Keila Marinho da , Leda Luciana Ribeiro , Silva Clélia Christina Mello
Published: February 2025

Neste artigo trazemos reflexões, problematizações e anseios referentes ao Grupo de Discussão de Pesquisa (GDP): Questões Epistemológicas oriundo do XI Encontro de Pesquisa em Educação Ambiental, ocorrido em Salvador/BA, de 07 a 10 de maio de 2023. O objetivo deste artigo foi construir um tecido epistêmico que reflita os trabalhos gestados durante a grave crise sanitária, econômica, social, ambiental de COVID-19 e apresentados no Encontro. Sete textos foram costurados, começando pela percepção fenomenológica da ação humana, por meio do pensamento visual, perpassando pela reflexão de conceitos como participação, justiça climática, nomeação de sujeitos até a apresentação de novas epistemes de base popular e ancestral. Também se observou, na costura, investigações relacionadas à educação básica e apontando o futuro da pesquisa em EA. Causou inquietação a desproporção das inscrições nos GDPs, pois encontramos menos inscrições no GDP Questões Epistemológicas e aumento dos GDPs de Cultura, Interculturalidade e Decolonialidade e o de Ecologia Política. Entende-se que a análise realizada aqui deve envolver uma leitura da epistemologia dos artigos inscritos no GDP específico, mas se a proposta é promover diálogo, deixamos o registro de novos desafios para os próximos debates. Vale dizer que a centralidade da discussão epistemológica não sugere que esse GDP se dilua aos/nos demais. Mas, talvez, ele possa enunciar os interlaces epistemológicos a partir de um todo, recolhendo impressões, leituras, análises etc. oriundas da vivência no EPEA, ao invés de advindas de textos alocados em grupo específico para o evento.
La sombra del mártir. Las heridas abiertas de la hermana del gran guerrillero ecuatoriano
Authors: Buckley Nicolás
Published: February 2025

Las guerrillas latinoamericanas que lucharon al calor de la guerra fría están llenas de historias de vida asombrosas. Quienes las protagonizan suelen ser hombres que lograron hacer la revolución o, en el lado opuesto, se convirtieron en héroes caídos en combate. En este artículo nos proponemos analizar la historia de vida de Beatriz Jarrín. Beatriz fue hermana de Arturo Jarrín, líder de la guerrilla ecuatoriana «Alfaro Vive Carajo», que murió asesinado en 1986 en una operación que previamente había intervenido la CIA. Mediante la metodología de la historia oral, analizaremos cómo, a pesar de que la entrevista tuvo lugar 36 años después de la muerte de su hermano, la historia de vida de Beatriz está constantemente atravesada por la larga sombra de Arturo. En los resultados de esta investigación se mostrará cómo, gracias al formato de historia de vida, que permite profundizar en las emociones de la narradora, Beatriz muestra, de formas inconsciente, dos emociones que se repiten a lo largo de su historia. Por un lado, una humildad que la lleva a restarle importancia a la vida y a trasladar el protagonismo a su hermano. Por otro lado, su frustración hacia una sociedad ecuatoriana que ha olvidado al «héroe caído».

Influence des héritages morphopédologiques dans la répartition des formations forestières : région de Sorab-Siddapur (Inde du Sud)
Authors: Bourgeon Gérard , Pascal Jean Pierre
Published: February 2025

La répartition des formations végétales est généralement liée aux caractéristiques bioclimatiques. Il existe cependant des exceptions à cette règle, des anomalies en quelque sorte. En Inde, les forêts de kan de la région de Sorab sont des îlots de forêts sempervirentes situés dans une zone où l'on aurait pu s'attendre à des peuplements à feuilles caduques en raison du bioclimat. Inversement, dans la région de Siddapur, les forêts que les précipitations pourraient permettre ne sont pas présentes. L'analyse morphopédologique montre que la nature et les propriétés des sols jouent un rôle majeur dans la répartition des formations végétales ; ce type d'analyse est bien adapté à une étude régionale ; elle fournit également des éléments sur l'histoire des paysages et permet de préciser ce qu'ont pu être les formations naturelles avant les dégradations anthropiques. Des analogies avec certaines caractéristiques du milieu naturel ivoirien sont également soulignées dans l'article.

Voice Marketing : Voice Assistants as Tools for Marketing Communication
Authors:   , Hilgert Hannah
Published: February 2025

Voice technologies, mainly in the form of voice assistants, accompany consumers in their daily lives (Dellaert et al. 2020). Voice assistants are implemented, for instance, in smartphones or in smart speakers, such as Amazon Alexa (Rzepka, Berger, and Hess 2020). These evolving voice-based human–computer interactions offer companies and brands a new marketing form: voice marketing. The topic of voice marketing stimulates great interest among academic researchers and marketing practitioners. However, voice-marketing research is still in its infancy and existing findings are scattered. Therefore, this dissertation presents three studies to illuminate central voice-marketing issues.
The first study was focused on structuring the evolving research field of voice marketing and developing a research agenda. To do so, a quantitative bibliometric analysis and a qualitative semi-systematic literature were conducted. The second study was concerned with uncovering significant differences between text-based and speech-based conversational agents. The study revealed that marketing communications through text- and speech-based conversational agents arouse positive effects, e.g. on perceived brand warmth and competence. However, the agents differ significantly in their core effects. In the third study, a specific voice-marketing communication tool was investigated: voice-assistant applications developed by brands or companies. The study resulted in the development of the VAMEM (the value-based adoption and marketing effects model) as a measurement instrument to capture the marketing performance of voice-assistant applications moving forward.
Qualidade do ar interior em edifícios de saúde e sistemas de ventilação
Authors: Schroeffer Karla Gonçalves , Pagel Érica Coelho
Published: February 2025

A Qualidade do Ar Interior (QAI) em estabelecimentos de saúde é um fator de risco à saúde humana tanto para pacientes, visitantes, quanto para a equipe de trabalho, que passa a maior parte do tempo dentro do edifício hospitalar. Dentre os principais fatores de contribuição na deterioração da QAI estão as atividades, produtos e processos desempenhados no ambiente hospitalar e a eficiência dos sistemas de ventilação. Após a pandemia do Covid-19, esta temática ganhou mais relevância na busca de soluções para mitigar o efeito catastrófico de futuras pandemias por vírus respiratório com transmissão por via aérea. O objetivo deste trabalho foi elencar os principais fatores da QAI em estabelecimentos de saúde discutidos pela literatura, relacionados ao edifício e à saúde ocupacional. A metodologia utilizada foi a Revisão Sistemática de Literatura junto a três bases de dados, que resultou na análise de 19 artigos. Como resultados, observou-se que, mesmo com a existência de normas reguladoras para QAI, diversos estabelecimentos analisados não apresentavam sistemas de renovação do ar adequados, contribuindo para um aumento da concentração de contaminantes nos espaços. Juntamente, a inexistência de filtração do ar externo foi um dos principais fatores para a elevação da concentração interna de material particulado (MP) provindo do exterior. O sistema do tipo ar-condicionado central se mostrou mais eficiente do que a ventilação natural e do que o sistema mecânico não central. Este estudo pretende contribuir para o estabelecimento de diretrizes tanto projetuais quanto administrativas em busca de um ambiente de trabalho saudável.
Profile of Patients with Decreased Bone Density Aged Over 50 Years Old with Cases of Femoral Neck Fracture, Thoracic Vertebral Compression Fracture, Lumbar Vertebral Compression Fracture, and Distal Radius Fracture in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, in 2019-2020
Authors: Pratama Arlingga , Sari Gadis Meinar , Utomo Dwikora Novembri
Published: February 2025

Highlights:

Decreased bone density often progresses to osteoporosis, where osteoporosis is a degenerative disease characterized by low bone mass, bone tissue damage, and bone microarchitecture disorders that can lead to an increased risk of bone fracture.

Fractures often found in low bone density consist of fractures of the femoral neck, the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, and distal radius fractures.

 
Abstract
Introduction: Human life expectancy will increase over time, as will various chronic degenerative diseases, one of which is fracture caused by decreased bone mass density. This study described fracture features associated with decreased bone mass density in patients over 50 years old.
Methods: This study took place at the Polyclinic of Orthopaedics and Traumatology Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, using a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study consisted of 56 medical records collected using a questionnaire processed with Microsoft Excel.
Results: This study used 56 samples. Femoral neck fractures had the highest number of decreased bone mass density fractures (69.7%). The most common body mass index (BMI) found with fractures was obese patients (32.2%). Most fractures were experienced by females (64.3%). The location of the highest incidence of fractures was found in domestic accidents (66.1%) with low-energy trauma (67.9%).
Conclusion: Most of the fractures caused by decreased bone density in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, were femoral neck fractures, with females being the most common gender. These fractures were also the most common in obese patients, and the highest incidence was found in domestic accidents with low-energy trauma.

Highlights:

Clinical outcomes in obese acute decompensated heart failure patients were found to be better than those of non-obese patients but not statistically significant.

Acute decompensated heart failure patients were dominated by males.

 
Abstract
Introduction: Obesity is an independent risk factor that raises the prevalence of heart failure, but it is paradoxically associated with a better prognosis. This study examined the relationship between obesity and clinical outcomes of acute decompensated heart failure at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya.
Methods: This was an analytic observational study using a prospective cohort design. Patients with acute decompensated heart failure who were admitted to the inpatient care unit of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, from December 2021 to July 2022 were chosen using a purposive sample technique. The data were analyzed using the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0.
Results: There were 58 patients (n=58) representing different categories, with an average age of 55 years old, and were predominately males (58.6%). This study found that clinical outcomes in obese acute decompensated heart failure patients were better than those of non-obese patients in terms of shorter lengths of stay (p=0.825), lower rates of rehospitalization (p=0.458), and lower rates of all-cause mortality (p=0.673).
Conclusion: The difference between the clinical outcomes in obese acute decompensated heart failure patients and non-obese patients was not statistically significant.
İhvân-ı Safâ’nın Ahlâk Düşüncesinde Antik Yunan Kaynaklarının Alımlanışına Dair Bazı Değerlendirmeler
Authors: Özturan Hümeyra
Published: February 2025

4. (10.) yüzyılda Basra’da yaşamış filozoflardan oluşan İhvân-ı Safâ topluluğunun antik Yunan düşüncesinden tevarüs ettikleri birikimi yoğun şekilde kullandıkları bilinmektedir. Ancak bu konudaki çalışmalar, ahlâk felsefesi meseleleri özelinde bir araştırma sunmamaktadır. Bu boşluğa binaen elinizdeki makalede, İhvân-ı Safâ’nın ahlâk düşüncesinde dikkate aldığı antik Yunan kaynaklarını ve onları alımlayışlarını göstermek amaçlanmış, bu gayeyle bazı temel ahlâk meseleleri bağlamında örnekler sunulmaya çalışılmıştır. Makalede öncelikle, İhvân’ın elinde bulunması muhtemel antik Yunan ahlâk eserlerinin bir dökümü yapılmış ve böylece, ahlâk alanındaki antik birikimden büyük oranda haberdar olmalarını sağlayacak sayıda esere erişimlerinin mümkün olduğu gösterilmiştir. Ardından, tevarüs edilen bu eserler ve İhvân’ın Risaleler’i dikkate alınarak bazı temel ahlâk meseleleri belirlenmiş ve böylece söz konusu kaynakların hangi ana fikirler bağlamında ve ne gibi müdahaleler ile kullanıldığı tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Ele alınan örnek meseleler neticesinde, İhvân-ı Safâ’nın ahlak felsefesinde sadece Yeni-Platoncu/Yeni-Pythagorasçı öğretilerin değil, Galenos, Platon ve Aristoteles’in ahlâk anlayışlarının da dikkate alındığı, kimi yerde bunların dikkatlice bir arada kullanıldığı, bazılarında ise antik yaklaşımın İslâmî bir perspektifle tamamlandığı, böylelikle İhvân’a has bir ahlâk felsefesinin tebarüz ettiği görülmüştür. Dolayısıyla ele aldığımız ahlak meseleleri bağlamında İhvân-ı Safâ’nın, antik Yunan kaynaklarını bilinçli ve dikkatli bir alımlamaya tabi tuttuğu neticesine ulaşılmıştır.
Muthawif concessions in Umrah travel bureau management
Authors: Fallah Afanin Atiqa , Muhajarah Kurnia
Published: February 2025

IntroductionIn Indonesia, the demand for Umrah services has grown significantly, amplifying the need for skilled muthawif who can support pilgrims both spiritually and logistically. The unique position of muthawif within the Umrah travel ecosystem requires well-structured management to ensure that service quality meets pilgrims' expectations. This study addresses the gaps in understanding how muthawif management practices are implemented within Indonesian travel bureaus and identifies the role of Saudi concessions in shaping these practices.ObjectivesThe primary objectives of this study are to assess the responsibilities of muthawif within the framework of concessions provided by Saudi and Indonesian authorities and to analyze the management approaches that optimize muthawif roles in enhancing the pilgrim experience. This research also seeks to identify the operational challenges faced by muthawif in balancing their duties across various management structures.MethodA qualitative field research approach was adopted, involving interviews and observations with key stakeholders such as muthawif, Umrah bureau directors, and agency leaders. Data was collected in both Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, allowing for an in-depth exploration of how muthawif function within different organizational and regulatory contexts. This approach provides contextual insights into the management practices influencing muthawif performance.ResultsThe study found that muthawif in Indonesia operate within three main categories: government-managed, agency-affiliated, and freelance. Each type of muthawif has different levels of flexibility and operational scope, impacting the quality and consistency of guidance services. Saudi government concessions offer operational flexibility, while Indonesian travel bureaus emphasize standardized training and service quality aligned with Islamic principles. These differences impact how muthawif adapt to the needs of diverse pilgrim groups.ImplicationsThe findings suggest that structured management and regulatory concessions are crucial to enhancing muthawif performance and service quality. Collaborative efforts between Indonesian travel bureaus and muthawif agencies contribute to a more professional and efficient Umrah guidance service. This study provides practical insights for travel bureaus and policymakers seeking to improve muthawif training standards and management practices within the Umrah industry.Originality/NoveltyThis research expands the literature on Umrah service management by focusing on the specific roles and concessions governing muthawif. It introduces new perspectives on optimizing muthawif performance through coordinated management approaches and cross-agency collaboration, addressing a critical area of service quality for Indonesian pilgrims undertaking Umrah.

Authors: Quraisy Mujahid , Nugroho Anton Priyo
Published: February 2025

Introduction Organizational agility, a novel concept in the business domain, measures the speed and flexibility with which organizations can face inevitable disruptions, particularly among creative economy actors with a religious foundation. Objectives This study examines the causal relationship between organizational intelligence, religiosity, spirituality, and organizational agility. Method The study employed a multivariate associative hypothesis testing approach using path analysis to investigate the relationships among organizational agility (OA), organizational Intelligence (OI), religious commitment (RC), and spiritual well-being (SWB). Measurement instruments, including the agility capabilities scale, religious commitment scale, spiritual well-being scale, and organizational intelligence scale, were adapted and validated as psychometric tools within Indonesian society's specific cultural and behavioral context. The sample consisted of 150 creative economy actors involved in religious organizations and engaged in the fashion, culinary, and handicraft sectors. Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics and SmartPLS. Results The findings indicate that religious commitment does not significantly impact organizational agility but positively and significantly influences organizational intelligence. Furthermore, organizational intelligence significantly contributes to organizational agility. However, spiritual well-being does not significantly influence organizational agility or intelligence. Implications These findings have implications for practitioners and decision-makers who want to develop successful business strategies in the religious-based creative economy sector. They emphasize the importance of religious commitment and the enhancement of spiritual values. Originality/Novelty This study contributes to the literature on organizational intelligence, religiosity, spirituality, and organizational agility in creative economy businesses.

Published: February 2025

Huanglongbing disease (HLB), caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), affects all commercial citrus species. Persian lime (Citrus latifolia Tanaka), a crop of global economic importance, has shown tolerance to such disease. Efforts are therefore focused on prolonging the productive life of diseased trees through agronomic management. The objective of this study was to compare between healthy and HLB-affected Persian lime plants the effects of low (Ma-1), medium (Ma-2), and high (Ma-3) doses of macronutrients, in combination with treatments without the addition of micronutrients (Mi-1), using soil (Mi-2) or foliar (Mi-3) application. Treatments were applied every 18 days for one year. Even C. latifolia showed tolerance, HLB reduced its growth, chlorophyll content, and photosynthetic efficiency. In addition, it increased stem diameter of vascular bundles, reflectance in the visible spectrum, and the concentration of glucose, sucrose, starch, trans-cinnamic acid, benzoic acid, and salicylic acid in diseased plants. The hormonal response showed higher levels of benzoic acid and lower levels of salicylic acid than those reported in susceptible citrus. Those plants treated with low doses of macronutrients in combination with applying micronutrients to the soil (Ma-1+Mi-2) showed less effect of HLB with higher growth, chlorophyll concentration, and less starch accumulation. These results sug-gest that fractioning fertilizer application throughout the year might improve the efficiency of the agronomic HLB management and allow the reduction of the annual dose of fertilizers.

Published: February 2025

Purpose: The study examines how the Russia-Ukraine war affects the medical supply chain in Bangladesh. It aims to identify risks and propose strategies for a sustainable supply chain amid the conflict. Design / Methodology / Approach: The research used AHP and SWARA methods to analyze 30 risk factors, selecting six based on expert opinions. AHP determined their significance, while SWARA assessed weights and ranked their impact on supply chain sustainability. Findings: Increasing fuel costs are the top risk, followed by economic risks. Transportation and logistics management risks ranked third, with demand, relationship, and sustainability risks following. These vulnerabilities emphasize targeted risk management strategies in Bangladesh's medical supply chain due to the war. Research limitations/implications: The study's focus on Bangladesh's healthcare sector limits insight into the broad impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on supply chains. Relying on expert opinions may introduce bias. Practical Implications: The research offers valuable guidance for medical industry leaders to address supply chain risks effectively amid geopolitical conflicts. Other sectors can also benefit from these strategies. Originality/Value: The study uses AHP and SWARA to evaluate supply chain risks during geopolitical conflicts, focusing on challenges in Bangladesh's medical sector and offering insights to improve resilience, management, and contributing to agricultural sector growth and food security in Bangladesh.
Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia in Men: A Review of the Literature
Authors: Melian-Olivera Ana , Imbernon-Moya Adrian , Porriño-Bustamante María Librada , Pindado-­Ortega Cristina , Fernandes-Melo Daniel , Saceda-Corralo David
Published: February 2025

Background: Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a primary cicatricial alopecia, initially described in postmenopausal women but increasingly reported in men. The male form remains under-recognised, often misdiagnosed as androgenetic alopecia (AGA) or alopecia areata (AA), particularly in the beard.
Objective: This review aims to summarise the current literature on the epidemiology, clinical presentation, etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of FFA in men.
Epidemiology and Clinical Features: FFA in men typically presents at a younger age compared to women. Key features include frontal and temporal hairline recession, early involvement of the beard and sideburns, and a high prevalence of eyebrow alopecia (43%-94.9%). Facial papules and body hair loss are more common in men than women. Occipital involvement varies widely across studies (8%-45%). Clinical features like beard alopecia, often presenting as plaque or diffuse patterns, are highly suggestive of FFA in men but are not part of current diagnostic criteria.
Etiopathogenesis: FFA is postulated to have an autoimmune basis influenced by genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Genetic studies have identified associations with HLA-B*07:02 and CYP1B1 loci. Environmental triggers include prolonged use of facial sunscreens and moisturisers, as demonstrated in case-control studies and meta-analyses.
Diagnosis: Diagnosis is predominantly clinical, supported by trichoscopy and biopsy when needed, particularly in cases overlapping with AGA or AA. Unique presentations, such as beard alopecia and the "watch sign," highlight the importance of considering FFA in atypical male cases.

Treatment: Current treatment protocols in men mirror those for women and focus on disease stabilisation. Oral 5-ARi (dutasteride) combined with topical corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors form the first line. Additional treatments include intralesional corticosteroids, oral isotretinoin for facial papules, and minoxidil for associated AGA. Surgical hair transplantation remains controversial, requiring disease control and careful patient counselling.
Conclusion: FFA in men presents with distinct clinical features and challenges in diagnosis, often overlapping with other alopecia. Further studies are needed to validate diagnostic criteria and evaluate treatment efficacy in this underrepresented population.

Background Prostate cancer management optimally requires non-invasive, objective, quantitative, accurate evalua-tion of prostate tumors. Current research applies visual inspection and quantitative approaches, such as artificial intelligence (AI) focused in deep learning (DL) to evaluate MRI. Recently, a different spectral/statistical approach successfully evaluated spatially registered bi-parametric MRIs for prostate cancer. This study aimed to further as-sess and improve the spectral/statistics approach through benchmarking and combining with AI.
Methods A zonal-aware self-supervised mesh network (Z-SSMNet) was applied to the same 42-patient cohort from previous spectral/statistical studies. The probability of clinical significance of prostate cancer (PCsPCa) and detec-tion map with affiliated tumor volume, eccentricity were computed for each patient. Linear and logistic regression were applied to International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade and PCsPCa, respectively. The R, p-value, Area Under the Curve (AUROC) from Z-SSMNet output was computed The Z-SSMNet output was combined with spectral/statistics output for multiple-variate regression.
Results The R (p-value), AUROC [95% Confidence Interval] from Z-SSMNet algorithm relating ISUP to PCsPCa is 0.298 (0.06), 0.50 [0.08-1.0], to average blob volume is 0.51 (0.0005), 0.37 [0.0-0.91], to total tumor volume is 0.36 (0.02), 0.50 [0.0-1.0]. R (p-value), AUROC computations showed much poorer correlation for eccentricity derived from Z-SSMNet detection map with ISUP. Overall DL/AI performed less well relative to spectral/statistical approaches from previous studies. Multi-variable regression fitted AI average blob size and SCR results in R=0.70 (0.000003) significantly higher than univariate regression fits of AI, spectral/statistics alone.
Conclusions. Spectral/statistical approaches performed well relative to Z-SSMNet. Combining Z-SSMNet with spectral/statistics approaches significantly enhanced tumor grade prediction, possibly providing an alternative to current prostate tumor assessment.
Commodities and Sectoral Volatility: A Post-COVID Analysis of GOLD and OIL Futures in India
Authors: Maharana Narayana , Panigrahi Ashok Kumar , Chaudhury Suman Kalyan
Published: February 2025

This study examines the volatility and hedging effectiveness of commodities, specifically GOLD and OIL, on the Indian stock market, focusing on both aggregate and sectoral indices. Data has been collected from 1 Jan 2021 to 31 Dec 2024 to cover the post-COVID period. Utilising the Asymmetric Dynamic Conditional Correlation Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (ADCC-GARCH) model, we analyse the volatility spillovers and time-varying correlations between commodity and stock market returns. The analysis of spillover connectedness reveals that both commodities exhibit limited and inconsistent hedging potential. GOLD demonstrates low and stable spillovers with most sectors, indicating its diminished role as a reliable safe-haven asset in Indian markets. OIL shows relatively higher but volatile spillover effects, particularly with sectors closely tied to energy and industrial activities, reflecting its dependence on external economic and geopolitical factors. The originality of this study lies in uncovering the nuanced, sector-specific interactions between GOLD, OIL, and the Indian stock market, emphasising the need to explore alternative hedging mechanisms or diversified approaches to risk management in the post-COVID recovery phase.
Temporal and Spatial Coupling Methods for the Efficient Modelling of Dynamic Solids

Published: February 2025

This paper presents efficient coupling methods that accurately reduce the computational cost for modelling solids dynamically with finite elements. A multi-time step integration algorithm is developed to leverage varying time steps throughout a domain. Interfaces between subdomains are resolved explicitly with the continuity of acceleration and tractions. A spatial coupling method is combined with multiple time steps, allowing for meshes that do not necessarily conform at their interfaces. The method avoids solving additional degrees of freedom at these interfaces, with parameter-free coupling operators defined between meshes. A speedup >12X is achieved in comparison to reference single time step methods.

This study explores the potential of D-limonene (DLM), monolaurin (ML), and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), and as active ingredients in antiviral formulations targeting SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. Oral (Formulation D) and nasal (Formulation E) products were developed using optimized concentrations of DLM (0.2–0.3% w/w), ML (0.1–0.2% w/w), and CPC (0.05–0.075% w/w) to balance efficacy and safety. Formulation D (0.3% w/w DLM, 0.2% w/w ML, 0.05% w/w CPC, and 1.5% w/w Cremophor RH40) exhibited exceptional virucidal activity, achieving a 3.875 ± 0.1021 log reduction and 99.99 ± 0.0032% efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 within 120 sec, positioning it as a strong candidate for oral spray/mouthwash applications. Formulation E (0.2% w/w DLM, 0.05% w/w CPC, and 0.75% w/w Cremophor RH40) demonstrated a 2.9063 ± 0.1197 log reduction and 99.87 ± 0.0369% efficacy, supporting its suitability as a nasal spray/nasal irrigation solution. Both formulations showed >99.99% efficacy with log reductions exceeding 4.000 against influenza viruses (FluA(H1N1), FluA(H3N2), and FluB) across various concentrations, dilutions, and contact times. Stability testing confirmed optimal performance at 4 °C, with no microbial contamination. These findings underscore the broad-spectrum antiviral potential of the formulations, paving the way for clinical applications in healthcare settings and among at-risk populations. Upcoming clinical trial results will further validate their safety and efficacy, supporting their use in therapeutic and preventive measures against viral infections.
