The Epigenetic Influence of Breastfeeding on Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: An Innovative Approach to Chronic Disease Prevention
Authors: Fiallos Montoya Steve Omar , Salazar Garcés Luis Fabián
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer, with an etiology involving genetic, environmental, and epigenetic factors. Breastfeeding has been proposed as an epigenetic modulator that may influence susceptibility to this disease. This study reviewed current literature on the relationship between breastfeeding and epigenetic modifications associated with ALL prevention. Methods: A systematic review was conducted in biomedical databases (PubMed, BVS, Science Direct, Scopus, and Embase) for studies published between 2018 and 2024. Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, cohort studies, and clinical trials examining the relationship between breastfeeding, epigenetics, and ALL were included. Studies that did not specifically address this interaction were excluded. Results: Ten relevant studies were identified, showing that breastfeeding influences epigenetic regulation through microRNA modulation, DNA methylation, and immunomodulatory factors. These mechanisms may reduce ALL susceptibility by enhancing immune response and modifying gene expression in hematopoietic cells. However, methodological heterogeneity limits the standardization of findings. Conclusions: Evidence suggests that breastfeeding plays a key role in the epigenetic prevention of ALL. However, longitudinal studies are needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms and their long-term clinical impact.
Notes for the study of identity: From the configuration of the person to the shaping of a nation
Authors: Montalvo Pedraza Nuria Abril
Published: February 2025

interest in all things Mexican is nothing new in the field of social and humanistic disciplines. Throughout the history of our country there have been many attempts to establish, consolidate and understand what it means to be Mexican as an identity phenomenon; however, political and ideological transitions have determined both the way in which this paradigm has been theorized, as well as the conceptions and implications of it.For those interested in the study of identity, this concept represents a methodological challenge given that it possesses characteristics that mean that it can be approached from the epistemology of different disciplines: As a cognitive system it is a subject for psychology; while its socializing, socializing and cultural dimension makes it a subject for sociology or anthropology; what can be said about its historical implications and conditioning factors; without neglecting the fact that, as it is an ontological matter, it is also the province of philosophy.Its study, therefore, is determined by the disciplinary perspective from which it is approached, which fragments the findings and the integral understanding of this phenomenon.In view of this situation, this proposal focuses on establishing the dialectical relationship that is articulated between individual and collective identity as entities that depend on and are subordinated to each other. Thus, by linking psychological, sociological and anthropological theory, identity can be understood through a specific historical-cultural context in which, in turn, the various national identities are configured and inserted.
The magazine La Antorcha Pentecostal: disseminating socio-religious and ethical principles (1940-1959)
Authors: González Rodríguez Lilian Lleana
Published: February 2025

There are many religious denominations present on the spiritual scene in Cuba, most of which were introduced at the end of the 19th century and throughout the following century. Pentecostalism is one of these religious tendencies and has been the subject of multiple investigations from the Social Sciences; however, there are still aspects to be considered. The objective of the present work is to analyze the socio-religious and ethical principles disseminated by the magazine La Antorcha Pentecostal between 1940 and 1959. The magazine in question is the Official Press Organ of the Pentecostal Churches“Assemblies of God in Cuba”, and its study will allow for an understanding of the essence of the religious and moral thinking promoted by Pentecostalism in this country. For the development of this work, the Cuban context at the arrival of the first missionaries and the importance that this magazine had for the dissemination of Pentecostal doctrines as a regulator of behavior, values and life expectations were taken into account.
About uncomfortable inheritances and unwanted legacies. Compiling and preserving personal files of relatives involved in crimes related to state represión
Authors: Arvide Basterra Margarita Isabel
Published: February 2025

This work constitutes a proposal for the elaboration of personal archives of individuals who have committed crimes and offences, as members of the repressive apparatus of the State (the police and other non-military law enforcement forces), and who have been characterized by their high degree of corruption, as well as by the violation of the Human Rights of the population. The latter, based on their command positions and in the Mexican context. It is intended that these archives be organized and managed, at least initially, by the same family of the subjects. The proposal is framed within social studies on memory and critical heritage studies. It was carried out based on the case study of the recovered collection belonging to Manuel B., who in life was commander of the police in Mexico City, during the period known as the Dirty War (1964-1982). Some of the conclusions obtained are that the administration of these archives by the families of individuals involved in delinquent and criminal acts within the repressive apparatus of the State, with the purpose of making it accessible to the public, is fundamental. This not only ensures the preservation and organization of crucial information, but also allows for an intimate and personal perspective on complex historical events.
Oral history sessions at the Centro de Textiles del Mundo Maya: making the voice of the weavers present in cultural narratives
Authors: Ojinaga Zapata Brenda Cecilia
Published: February 2025

Traditional textiles have been a fundamental tool for the construction of the collective memory of some weaving communities. However, when studying the textile collections of the Mayan World Textile Center, located in the Chiapas Highlands, Mexico, I was confronted, over several years, with the omission of the stories and voices of their creators, who were called again and again: “anonymous author”, so that among the threads and weaves of the textiles, there are stories that often remain hidden.This Textile Center, which is constantly recognized as a ”living center” bearer of a “living art”, discursively appeals to differentiate itself from the ethnographic and anthropological content with which textiles have historically been studied, as well as to point out the incorporation of the weavers into these spaces, who work as room custodians or give weaving demonstrations for the public, and on a few occasions, have taken the space to tell their stories about textiles in oral history sessions.This paper presents some reflections on the importance of orality as a source of knowledge in textile art museums as a means of moving towards a more complete knowledge, which takes the voices and stories of women creators as a starting point. I propose that knowing the testimony of the weavers is fundamental for the work of collective memory and the construction of narratives that are not only more complete, but also fairer.
To produce and sow chancacas: The arrival of sugar cane in the Huasteca región
Authors: Trejo Karina Paulín
Published: February 2025

The study analyzed the role of indigenous peoples in the production and trade of piloncillo in the Huasteca region during the 17th and 18th centuries. It examined the introduction of sugar cane in the region after the Spanish conquest and its economic and social implications. Sugar cane, brought by Hernán Cortés in 1522, expanded rapidly due to its profitability and demand in the European and New Spain markets.The research showed that the indigenous people adopted the crop not only because it was imposed on them, but also because of its cultural significance. The encomenderos encouraged its cultivation for self-consumption and later for commercialization. Sugar cane became a key element in the local economy, and its production diversified into white sugar for elites and piloncillo for popular consumption.Colonial documents revealed that the indigenous people managed to obtain licenses to plant sugar cane and operate mills, integrating themselves into the regional market. In addition, piloncillo acquired value as a bargaining chip, facilitating the payment of taxes and debts. By the end of the 17th century, the Huastec had consolidated their presence in the production of piloncillo, partially displacing the Spanish.The article concluded that the adoption of sugar cane transcended the economic, influencing diet, trade and indigenous cultural identity, generating a significant socio-productive transformation in colonial Huasteca.
Accumulation of the present, Reflection for the study of memory in the field of journalism
Authors: Escalona Abella Raúl
Published: February 2025

The theory of the social construction of reality allows us to postulate one of the main functions of journalism in contemporary society: its capacity to produce truths and, consequently, to identify the problems that human groups face in the political, economic and social spheres. This is one of the reasons why the systematic study of the press becomes relevant. However, of this production of reality, there is rarely any research into how journalism produces the memory of societies, commemorates their history and enters into the web of disputes about the past as social discourse. This paper proposes an introductory approach to memory studies applied to journalism and how to interpret this relationship.
Dance and Resistance: The Tradition of the Diablos in Afro-Mexican Communities
Authors: Bautista Rojas Minerva
Published: February 2025

The Afro-Mexicans who currently inhabit Mexican territory preserve a biocultural heritage that is manifested through their gastronomy, dances and other cultural expressions. The Afro-descendants who inhabit the Costa Chica of Oaxaca and Guerrero come from a history of enslavement, discrimination, racism and invisibility. The dance of the Devils is a cultural manifestation that prevents the cultural fusion between Africans and indigenous people. This dance is performed in these communities during the Day of the Dead, where people dress up as devils wearing their costumes, zoomorphic masks and accompanied by music, they walk through the streets of the towns to celebrate their dead. This dance dates back to colonial times when Africans were slaves on the haciendas and forced to work in oppression, so this dance is a satire of the hacienda structure of that time, it was also a means of worshipping their African god Ruja. Currently this dance is performed on local and national stages, it is used as a banner for the visibility of the Afro-descendant population that inhabits the country, to claim rights and as a means of cultural resistance in the face of so many years of exclusion by the Mexican State.
The Indians and their condition: the legal and theological discourse
Authors: Uribe Sánchez Quetzalcóatl Tonatiuh
Published: February 2025

The study analyzed the legal construction of the indigenous people in New Spain from the 16th century, focusing on the regulation of their freedom, their integration into the colonial order and the conflicts between the Crown, the Church and the encomenderos. From the time of Queen Isabella, the indigenous people were recognized as free subjects, but economic demands and abuses in the repartimientos (the system of land distribution) generated debates about their legal and social status. The Crown implemented measures such as the corregimientos and the Audiencias to supervise their treatment and prevent their enslavement.The concept of a “just war” justified the conquest with theological and political arguments. Intellectuals such as Bartolomé de las Casas defended the dignity of the indigenous people, while Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda argued that they were inferior to the Spanish. Vasco de Quiroga proposed a pacifist model for their evangelization. Colonial legislation established that they could only be subdued in cases of rebellion or alliance with enemies of Castile.The provincial councils of 1555, 1565 and 1585 reinforced the work of the Church in the evangelization and protection of the indigenous people. A separation was established between ecclesiastical and civil justice, ensuring their right not to pay unjust taxes or be forced to work. However, the Church also reinforced its image of “neophytes” in the faith, justifying its guardianship.The article concluded that the legal status of the indigenous population was the result of a negotiation between economic, religious and political interests.

Authors: Nanang Kurniawan  , Anung Priambodo  , Marsudianto Marsudianto
Published: February 2025

Physical Education is a systematic process that aims to improve students' physical and mental health through physical activity. Despite having clear goals, the reality is that many students are less motivated in learning movement skills, preferring games or matches. This research aims to increase the learning motivation of students in grade 4 in learning Physical Education, Health, and Recreation (PJOK) through the application of the traditional game of engklek. Traditional games are expected to create a fun and interesting learning atmosphere, as well as expand students' movement experience. The observation results showed that the lack of game variety caused students' lazy attitude. With the implementation of engklek, it is hoped that students' learning motivation will increase, so that they are more active and involved in PJOK learning. This research is entitled "Efforts to Increase Student Learning Motivation in PJOK Learning through Traditional Engklek Games."

Published: February 2025

This study examines the application of constructivism learning theory in fifth-grade mathematics. Constructivism emphasizes that students build knowledge through their own experiences via active, gradual engagement, where the teacher acts as a facilitator rather than a knowledge transmitter. Mathematics, essential for everyday life, should offer meaningful lessons that relate to real-world experiences. The constructivist approach consists of stages such as perception, exploration, discussion and explanation of concepts, and the development and application of concepts. The study aims to analyze the supporting media in the fifth-grade mathematics book, curriculum 2013 revision published by Erlangga, and assess its alignment with the constructivist learning stages.  This qualitative study uses a library research approach, with the primary data sourced from the mathematics book and secondary data from relevant journals and studies. Data was collected through documentation, using a marking sheet to evaluate the book's compatibility with the constructivism stages. The results indicate that the book supports constructivist learning, providing media like pictures and videos accessible via QR codes. The book's content aligns well with the constructivist learning stages, with a 97.5% compliance rate, falling into the "very good" category.

Social inequalities in eligibility rates and use of the Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme, 2016–22: an administrative data analysis
Authors: Disney George , Yang Yi , Summers Peter , Devine Alexandra , Dickinson Helen , Kavanagh Anne M
Published: February 2025

Objectives

To assess differences in eligibility rates and use of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

Study design

Analysis of NDIS unit‐record administrative data.

Setting, participants

Applicants for NDIS support aged 7 years or older, 1 July 2016 – 31 August 2022 (eligibility analysis); active NDIS participants aged 7 years or older on 31 August 2022 (plan size and spending analyses).

Main outcome measures

Differences in NDIS eligibility rates by broad age group (under 55 years v 55 years or older), gender (girls and women v other applicants), and residential socio‐economic status (three lowest deciles of the Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage v other areas); differences in NDIS personal plan size (allocation) and spending (use) by gender and residential socio‐economic status.

Results

During 2016–22, 705 594 people aged 7 years or older had applied for NDIS support; 485 676 applicants with recorded decisions were included in our analysis (393 152 eligible, 92 524 ineligible). Eligibility rates were highest for applicants with brain injury or stroke, intellectual disability, or autism (900 or more per 1000 applicants), and only minor inequalities by socio‐demographic group were evident. Eligibility rates were lower for applicants with physical disability, psychosocial disability, or unclassified (other) disability (60–75%). Eligibility inequalities were most marked for people with physical disability, with fewer approvals for women and girls than men and boys (145 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 138 − 152] fewer approvals per 1000 applicants), for people aged 55 years or older than for younger applicants (235 [95% CI, 227–242] fewer approvals per 1000 applicants), and for people from lower socio‐economic status areas than for those from other areas (86 [95% CI, 78–93] fewer approvals per 1000 applicants). The eligibility rate for applicants with psychosocial disability was lower for women and girls than men and boys (83 [95% CI, 77–89] fewer approvals per 1000 applicants). Inequalities in plan sizes and spending by socio‐economic group and gender for the 312 268 active participants at 31 August 2022 were smaller.

Conclusions

Women and girls and applicants over 55 years of age or living in socio‐economically disadvantaged areas with certain disability types are less likely to be deemed eligible for NDIS support than other applicants. Inequalities in plan allocation and use of personal NDIS budgets are less marked. Changes to NDIS eligibility processes could reduce these inequalities.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: There exists a wide differential of etiologies for pediatric torticollis that extend beyond musculoskeletal factors. Case Report: We present a novel case of an 8-year-old male with acute, atraumatic hemorrhage of the left cerebellum presenting with gradual worsening torticollis. Upon further diagnostic workup, he was found to have an intracerebral hemorrhage due to a cerebellar cavernous malformation. Though the hemorrhage boundaries were extensive, the patient had only exhibited transient dysmetria and facial weakness, with ultimate resolution of torticollis and these neurological symptoms after several days. Conclusion: This case demonstrates the importance of maintaining a broad differential in the workup of acute pediatric torticollis.

However, there is limited understanding of the specific roles and responsibilities of GPs in Iran's healthcare system. The objective of this qualitative study is to explore the various roles and responsibilities of GPs in Iran's healthcare system by gathering insights from different stakeholders. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 32 health policymakers and GPs in Iran between April and December 2021. Participants were selected using a purposive sampling method. The interviews, conducted in Persian, were transcribed verbatim. Data analysis was performed using both deductive and inductive content analysis. Initially, deductive coding was applied based on the research questions, followed by inductive coding to allow new concepts to emerge from the interview data. Qualitative analysis was conducted using MAXQDA 22. Results: The study included a diverse group of participants in terms of age, gender, experience, and workplace. During data analysis, 173 primary codes were identified, which were categorized into four themes: "The evolving role of GPs," "rhe skills and competencies of GPs," "GPs' perspectives on their role," and "requirements for general practitioner reinforcement." Conclusions: Recognizing GPs as gatekeepers within Iran's healthcare system requires significant measures in both health policy and public attitudes. It is crucial to shift public perception so that individuals rely more on GPs as their first point of contact in the healthcare system, using secondary services only through referrals. This shift should be accompanied by a greater emphasis on strengthening primary care and the role of family physicians in service delivery.

Background: The critical changes and emotional fluctuations associated with puberty often lead to conflicts and communication challenges between adolescents and their parents. Adolescent girls, in particular, tend to experience more conflicts with their parents, especially their mothers, due to the sensitive nature of puberty and the involvement of heightened emotional dimensions. This underscores the importance of educational interventions aimed at improving communication skills to resolve conflicts and enhance parent-adolescent relationships. Objectives: The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of virtual communication skills training for mothers, utilizing the interaction analysis approach, on the life satisfaction of girls and the quality of parent-adolescent relationships. Methods: This randomized controlled quasi-experimental study employed a parallel design, incorporating pre-test, post-test, and follow-up assessments. The study which was conducted in 2022, involved 66 mothers who were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. Participants completed the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire and the Parent-Adolescent Relationship Questionnaire at three time points: Before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and one month post-intervention. The intervention consisted of eight consecutive weeks of virtual communication skills training using an interaction analysis approach, delivered to the mothers in the intervention group. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16. Results: At the study's outset, the two groups were homogeneous regarding demographic variables. The results indicated a significant difference in the mean score of the parent-adolescent relationship in the intervention group, with scores of 67.94 ± 31.04 before the intervention, 126.19 ± 27.25 immediately after, and 93.06 ± 15.02 one month post-intervention (P < 0.001). Additionally, there was a significant difference in the mean score of life satisfaction in the intervention group, with scores of 15.06 ± 5.35 before the intervention, 26.63 ± 4.63 immediately after, and 22.44 ± 5.06 one month post-intervention (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrated that virtual training in communication skills for mothers, based on the interaction analysis approach, can enhance girls' life satisfaction and parent-adolescent relationships. Given that "girls' life satisfaction" and "parent-adolescent relationship" are critical psychological components, this approach may be utilized to improve adolescents' mental health and strengthen the relationship between adolescents and their parents.

Ethics of inclusion and equality. Vol. 1, Politics [and] society
Authors: Razu John Mohan
Published: February 2025

'Ethics of Inclusion and Equality', published in two volumes, is a reader of 58 articles from the author on all areas of social and political life. Vol. 1 features articles on 'Politics and Society' ; vol. 2 features the author’s insight on 'Economy and Environment', 'Education, Children and Sexuality', and 'Religion and Tolerance'. Each section underpins India’s political economy, where India is taken as a referral point for analysis and interpretation. The literature reflects a trend sweeping the world as of 2018: the success of far-right conservative politics as a reaction to liberal appeasement politics, identity politics and the rejection of multiculturalism. The author addresses these issues in a direct, often devastating, fashion.

Optimizing agricultural energy usage to maximize output with little impact on the environment is a pressing global concern. Energy efficiency (EE), total factor energy productivity (TFEP), and the narrowing of regional inequalities in agriculture technology are all goals of several initiatives put forward by the Chinese government. Energy efficiency, total factor energy productivity fluctuations, and the regional technology gap ratio (TGR) were assessed in this study, which examined 30 provinces in mainland China and three distinct regions from 2000 to 2020 using DEA Super-SBM, Meta Frontier Analysis, and the Malmquist-Luenberger index. With an average EE of 0.8492, the data show that China's agricultural industry has space for a 15.08% improvement in EE development. Among the provinces in China, Qinghai has the highest energy efficiency rate at 1.5828, followed by Shanghai at 1.3716 and Hainan at 1.358. The Eastern area has an outstanding EE rating of 1.0532. The TGR grade in Zhejiang is an example of a modern method of agricultural production that efficiently utilizes energy resources. Total Grain Ratio (TGR) values over 0.96 and close to 1 in all provinces except Zhejiang indicate that China's agricultural production technology is advanced. These states include Liaoning, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Guangdong, Ningxia, and Hainan. As time goes on, the eastern part of China's technology gap ratio (TGR) becomes closer to 1 than the central and western areas. This demonstrates that the provinces in the east are using modern agricultural practices, which increase productivity by making greater use of the resources at their disposal. An MLI score of 1.103 indicates a 10.3% improvement in energy productivity throughout China's agricultural sector. Subsequent studies showed that technological change (TC) was primarily responsible for the enhancement, with a TC value of 1.080, which was more than the EC value of 1.028. When comparing the three agricultural zones, the eastern zone produces more energy overall. In terms of total factor energy productivity, the four leading areas in China's agricultural sector are Zhejiang (1.23), Shanghai (1.197), Liaoning (1.184), and Hebei (1.147). There were statistically significant differences in TGR and EE between the three sites, according to the Kruskal-Wallis test.
