High-speed rail’s impact on athlete mobility, event management, and tourism: Enhancing recovery, accessibility, and experience
Authors: Wahpiyudin Cep Abdul Baasith , Sumarwan Ujang , Simanjuntak Megawati
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the impact of high-speed rail (HSR) on athlete mobility, sport event management, and regional economic development, particularly in the context of major international sporting events. The research aims to address the role of HSR in improving accessibility, reducing travel times, and supporting efficient logistics for athletes, event staff, and spectators. This study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, using data from Scopus, to synthesize existing research. The review process involved screening 962 documents, resulting in the analysis of 71 relevant articles. The study follows PRISMA and SPAR-4-SLR guidelines to ensure methodological rigor and transparency in selecting and analyzing studies. The study highlights both the positive contributions of HSR, including enhanced mobility and economic benefits for host cities, as well as the challenges posed by spatial imbalances in infrastructure development. While HSR facilitates improved connectivity and contributes to the economic growth of metropolitan areas, smaller cities and peripheral regions often face marginalization in terms of economic opportunities and event participation. The findings suggest that although HSR significantly enhances event logistics, there is a pressing need for more inclusive infrastructure planning to ensure equitable access to these benefits. Additionally, the study underscores the environmental sustainability of HSR systems as an alternative to more carbon-intensive transport modes. Overall, this research provides insights into how HSR can be leveraged to improve the management of international sporting events and contribute to long-term urban and regional development while also addressing the existing disparities in accessibility and economic development across regions.
Sorting out the heterogeneity of Panic Disorder
Authors:   , Pattyn Thomas Luc Charles
Published: February 2025

With a lifetime prevalence of 3.8%, a significant portion of the population either has or will
experience 'panic disorder,' although there remain many conceptual and neurobiological
uncertainties about the disorder. Since the introduction of the DSM-III in 1980, there has been a
debate about the scientific boundaries of the concept of panic disorder, but there have been no
significant changes to these criteria, except for the position of agoraphobia, which gradually came
to be described more as a separate disorder. This thesis reevaluates the boundaries of the DSM
concept of panic disorder, seeking greater clarity regarding the heterogeneity in the underlying
pathophysiology and mechanisms of this disorder in the hope of obtaining a more meaningful
description of its manifestations based on neurobiological findings.

In the first chapter, advanced statistical techniques were used to subdivide DSM panic disorder
into symptom-based subtypes. Three qualitatively different subtypes were identified: a severe
cognitive-autonomous subtype, a moderately autonomous subtype, and a milder, nonspecific
subtype. Clinically, there were differences between these subtypes in severity, comorbidity, suicide
attempts, sleep problems, and the sense of control.

In the second chapter, distinctive patterns of functional brain activity in adults with panic disorder
and differences between the identified subtypes were sought using the "emotional faces" paradigm.
This approach allowed for the differentiation of different patterns that were not or less visible in the
large group of panic disorders and their association with specific subtypes. The role of the rostral
anterior cingulate cortex emerged as crucial, with activity in this area being strongest in the
autonomous subtype.

In the third chapter, we report on a systematic review of the current state of knowledge about the
pathophysiology of anxiety disorders and tinnitus. The results provided us with a clearer overview
of the neurobiological overlap between the two, as well as the interaction between a mental and
physical condition. Comorbidity between the two conditions is high, and there is notable overlap
between associated brain structures and functional brain activity. Three cortico-subcortical
networks related to attention, stress, and memory were involved, and a partially coinciding
dysfunction in the stress-related HPA axis was found.

The fourth chapter delves further into the electrophysiological coherence between non-pulsatile
tinnitus and panic disorder, measuring resting-state brain activity. It became evident that in
comorbidity of non-pulsatile tinnitus and panic disorder, theta activity in the precuneus was
reduced, and the effect of stress on resting-state brain activity was strongest in the tinnitus group
without comorbidity and the healthy control group.
Once upon a time in space
Authors:   , de Vries Eelke
Published: February 2025

While it is well-established that visual working memory is predominantly organised around spatial information (Awh & Jonides, 2001; Jiang et al., 2000; Pertzov & Husain, 2014; Treisman & Zhang, 2006), even when the exact locations are not directly relevant to the task (Chota et al., 2024; e.g., Draschkow et al., 2022; Liu et al., 2022; Magen & Emmanouil, 2019; van Ede et al., 2019), several key questions remained unanswered. The central question in this dissertation is how space and time act as organising principles in visual working memory, focusing on whether spatial arrangements or temporal sequences structure information, and how this organisation changes over time. This central question was explored through three research questions, investigated across six experiments presented in three empirical chapters (Chapters 2, 3, and 4) of this dissertation. The studies focused on the incidental use of spatial organisation in visual working memory, meaning the unintentional or automatic reliance on spatial information, even when participants are not required to report object locations.

The incidental use of space in visual working memory was investigated by tracking spatial biases in eye movements, specifically microsaccades—small, rapid movements that reflect covert shifts in attention (Engbert & Kliegl, 2003; Hafed & Clark, 2002; Yuval-Greenberg et al., 2014). Prior research shows that even when spatial locations are not explicitly relevant, eye movements tend to be biased towards the encoding locations of cued memory objects (Draschkow et al., 2022; Liu et al., 2022; van Ede et al., 2019). These biases suggest that eye movement behaviour can serve as a marker for tracking spatial organisation in visual working memory, even when spatial information is not required for task performance. This dissertation capitalized on these directional microsaccade biases as a direct, time-resolved measure of spatial organisation. Across six experiments, this approach allowed us to examine the persistence of spatial organisation in memory under varying conditions and timeframes.

Published: February 2025

Neuropathic pain is a debilitating condition that is a product of nervous system damage or dysfunction. Since the drugs prescribed by the physician provide partial pain relief to the patients. Hence, current updates for its treatment are required. It is a global concern as neuropathic pain happens in many diseased conditions like cancer, trauma, surgery and diabetics, etc. Developed as well as developing countries are both trying to find suitable medicine. Understanding the mechanisms behind it can be crucial for the effective treatment and management of neuropathic pain. Central sensitization in the spinal cord and brain amplifies pain signals, increasing pain sensitivity even without tissue damage. Peripheral sensitization, at the injury site, sensitizes peripheral nerves, lowering pain thresholds. Recognizing and studying these sensitizations are vital for understanding and managing chronic neuropathic pain and improving patients’ quality of life. The present manuscript encompasses a mechanism and model for neuropathic pain in animals with its advantages and disadvantages.

Published: February 2025

The fulfillment of rattan needs in the future will continue to increase, and it is estimated that rattan sources from natural forests will not be able to provide sufficient quantities. Therefore, rattan development is still needed, especially in cultivating it on community land or in community nurseries. Rattan cultivation needs to be developed by procuring good and quality rattan seedlings, one form of effort in increasing the productivity of rattan stems is through maintenance so that to obtain quality seedlings, additional materials are needed in the media to provide nutrients that support plant growth. One of the organic fertilizers that plays a role in soil quality and plant growth is cow manure compost where this fertilizer is processed animal waste or cow manure that is given to the soil to improve soil fertility. This study provides information on the effect of giving various doses of cow manure on the growth of rattan stem seedlings (Calamus zollingeri Becc) in polybags so that it can be used as a guide in utilizing the cow manure optimally. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of five treatments, P0 = soil without cow manure (control), P1 = 1000g soil + 200g cow manure, P2 = 1000g soil + 300g cow manure, P3 = 1000g soil + 400g cow manure, P4 = 1000g soil + 500g cow manure, Each treatment was repeated 10 times so that it required as many as (5x10) = 50 experimental seed units.

Stress is a significant factor affecting the mental, physical, and social well-being of high school student-athletes, who must navigate the demands of both academics and sports. Without proper support, prolonged stress can hinder their performance and overall well-being.

Purpose: This study aimed to address this issue by developing a multi-sensory-based Student-Athlete Stress Management Program tailored to their unique challenges. Using a descriptive-developmental research design,

Respondents: the study involved 28 high school student-athletes from a private school in Dagupan City, Pangasinan.

Method: Data were collected through a validated, researcher-modified questionnaire to identify primary stressors and evaluate the program’s effectiveness.

Results indicated that mental stressors were the most prevalent, followed by social and physical stressors. Many participants expressed frustration over the lack of existing stress management initiatives, highlighting the need for structured interventions. To address these concerns, the developed program incorporated relaxation techniques, movement-based activities, and reflective exercises designed to alleviate stress. Student-athletes responded positively, reporting improved emotional well-being, reduced stress levels, and a greater sense of camaraderie within their teams.

Conclusion: The findings suggest that such structured programs can provide meaningful benefits, helping student-athletes manage stress more effectively while fostering teamwork and resilience. These results highlight the importance of integrating stress management strategies into school programs to support student-athletes in both their academic and athletic pursuits. Schools that implement targeted interventions may not only improve students’ mental and emotional well-being but also enhance their overall performance. Future research could explore ways to further refine and adapt these strategies to different athletic and academic settings, ensuring long-term benefits for student-athletes.
VISUAL AND VERBAL REPRESENTATION OF THE PLAY METAPHOR IN LATVIAN POLITICAL CARTOONS
Authors: Kalve Anna , Veinberga Elīna
Published: February 2025

The article’s theoretical framework is set in cognitive linguistics and stylistics. It explores the progressing domain of metaphor research, which has expanded substantially since the 1970s, notably in investigating visual and multimodal metaphors in the last twenty years. The article aims to study the visual and verbal representation of the PLAY metaphor in Latvian political cartoons, applying conceptual metaphor theory. The need for this study arises from the limited understanding of the metaphorical thought of PLAY in the Latvian language and culture.The main research question studies the formation of the PLAY metaphor by distinguishing the conceptual mappings of game categories described by Roger Caillois – Agon, Alea, and Mimicry. The metaphor identification procedure of four stages – recognition, verification, comprehension, and interpretation – proposed by Anita Naciscione in 2001, is applied in case studies. The main findings highlight the cultural significance of the PLAY metaphor in Latvian thought, language and culture. The main conclusions demonstrate that every type of game category forms a distinct group of conceptual mappings, illustrating the sustainable nature of the metaphorical thought of PLAY. The original contribution of this study lies in its comprehensive analysis of the PLAY metaphor, providing insights into metaphorical thought in human perception and understanding in cognitive linguistics.

A inclusão escolar de estudantes com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) é um desafio relevante no Brasil, exigindo esforços estruturais, pedagógicos e sociais para garantir uma educação inclusiva e equitativa. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar os principais desafios enfrentados no contexto escolar brasileiro e propor estratégias pedagógicas para a inclusão efetiva. Utilizando uma metodologia bibliográfica com abordagem qualitativa, foram analisadas obras teóricas, legislações e estudos acadêmicos sobre inclusão, formação docente e tecnologias assistivas. Os resultados indicaram que, apesar dos avanços legislativos com a Lei Brasileira de Inclusão (LBI) e a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), a inclusão enfrenta barreiras como a insuficiência de recursos, falta de capacitação docente e preconceitos. Por outro lado, práticas inovadoras, como metodologias ativas e o uso de tecnologias assistivas, destacaram-se como alternativas promissoras para promover o aprendizado e a interação de estudantes com TEA. A colaboração entre escola e família também foi identificada como essencial para o sucesso da inclusão. Conclui-se que a inclusão escolar de estudantes com TEA requer um compromisso ético e político, investimentos em recursos e formação docente contínua, bem como ações que fortaleçam a valorização da diversidade no ambiente escolar. A educação inclusiva, além de um direito, representa uma oportunidade de transformação social.

Analysis of surgical outcomes of patients with laryngeal cancer
Authors: Tekin Mustafa Said
Published: February 2025

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate tumor localization, histopathological characteristics, surgical approaches, and clinical outcomes by comparing the findings with the existing literature.
Patients and Methods: Data from 55 male patients (mean age: 57.3±13.3 years; range, 39 to 88 years) who underwent surgical treatment for laryngeal cancer were retrospectively analyzed between November 2014 and December 2023. Surgical techniques included total or partial laryngectomy and neck dissection. Tumor localization, histopathology, staging, and demographic data were documented.
Results: All patients were smokers. Alcohol use was reported by 23 (41.8%) patients. The most common symptom was hoarseness, observed in 43 (78.1%) patients, followed by dysphagia in nine (16.3%) patients and dyspnea in six (10.9%) patients. Tumor localization was primarily glottic in 26 (47.3%) patients and transglottic in 17 (30.9%) patients. Total laryngectomy was performed in 38 (69.1%) patients, and 13 (28.9%) patients had neck metastases. Squamous cell carcinoma was the predominant histopathological finding in 54 (98.2%) patients, with 29 (52.7%) patients showing moderate differentiation. Advanced-stage tumors (T3-T4) were identified in 28 (50.9%) patients.
Conclusion: Laryngeal cancer predominantly affects males with a history of smoking and alcohol use. Surgical treatment, particularly total laryngectomy, remains the workhorse of management. Neck dissection is critical for addressing lymphatic spread. These findings align with the literature, emphasizing the need for tailored treatment approaches to improve clinical outcomes.

Materials and Methods: On the Google search engine, “adenoidectomy surgery,” “tonsillectomy surgery,” and “adenotonsillectomy surgery” terms were searched in Turkish. For each term, the first 50 websites were determined. Websites with repeating content, academic journals, videos, and websites including only graphics and tables were excluded. Websites were categorized as hospital websites or physician websites. These education materials were evaluated with Ateşman readability score.
Results: Ninety-one websites were analyzed after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Regarding patient education articles, 49 hospital websites and 42 physician websites were identified. The mean Ateşman readability scores of all websites was 58.88±7.81 (apprehensible by 11th and 12th grade students). The mean score of hospital websites was 58.89±8.54, and the mean score of physician websites was 58.87±6.96. There was no statistically significant difference between the hospital websites and physician websites (p=0.925).
Conclusion: The readability of patient education sources related to adenotonsillectomy in the Turkish language is more difficult than the desired level. Improving the readability of the websites may help direct patients to the correct treatment and increase adherence to the treatment process.
The care habitus: an approach from collective memory and figurational sociology
Authors: Mondragon Segovia Ivonne
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The study addressed the relationship between collective memory, habitus and figurational theory in care practices. Based on Norbert Elias' figurational sociology, care was understood as relational practices in constant transformation. In turn, the impact of collective memory on the transmission of values and norms that regulate these practices over time was analyzed. The research took into account the influence of social structures, gender and individual agency in the configuration of the care habitus.Development: The analysis was based on figurational theory, which conceives of society as networks of interdependence. Elias argued that individuals are shaped in their interaction with others, which generates dynamic and changing structures. Through the concept of habitus, it was identified that care is not only instrumental actions, but also symbolic practices that are internalized over time. Collective memory allowed for the continuity of these dispositions, while enabling changes in the norms and meanings of caregiving according to sociocultural transformations. Likewise, the link between memory-habit and image-memory by Zenia Yébenes was explored, highlighting how past experiences influence present and future practices.Conclusion: The study concluded that care practices are part of historical and relational processes, where collective memory, habitus and figuration interact in the configuration of social dispositions. Care is not an isolated act, but a dynamic process influenced by norms, power relations and subjective experiences. Finally, the importance of understanding care from a comprehensive perspective that considers its evolution and its role in social reproduction was highlighted.
Analysis of the news coverage of gender violence on Cubadebate and El Estornudo in the case of Fernando Bécquer
Authors: Rodríguez Martínez Karina
Published: February 2025

An assessment of the way in which the media covers gender-based violence is essential when it comes to making a diagnosis of the relationship between the media's communication practices and gender-based violence in Cuba. The media do not determine gender violence, but they do contribute to reinforcing the cultural norms and stereotypes that underpin it. Gender stereotypes and roles, those mandates culturally assigned to women and men, are embedded in the social imaginary and the media reproduce them, often without being aware of it.The present research will focus on analyzing the informative treatment of gender violence in the official digital medium Cubadebate and the independent medium El Estornudo, taking as a case study the acts of violence committed by the Cuban troubadour Fernando Bécquer.The research is descriptive in nature and focuses on framing theory, investigating the sources of the research and the journalists who constructed the information. It also uses critical discourse analysis from a feminist perspective to analyze the publications of both media outlets, taking as a reference the case of Fernando Bécquer, an event that caused a great stir in Cuban society, raising the issue of sexual abuse against women, the legality of which exists in the country, and of course, the news coverage of the media.

The research analyzed electrical hazards in Latin America, highlighting their impact on educational and work environments. In Ecuador and Colombia, studies showed that lack of maintenance, improper handling of equipment and lack of technical training significantly increased electrical accidents. Cazallas Suárez and Gámez Gómez (2021) identified in Colombia the consequences of these risks in buildings constructed before the Technical Regulations for Electrical Installations (RETIE), highlighting effects such as irreversible damage and mortality.In Ecuador, a research by Correa Iván Marcelo (2020) pointed out that the use of equipment without technical knowledge increased the risks in educational institutions. In the Atahualpa Educational Unit, in Ambato, deficiencies in electrical safety were evidenced, such as lack of signaling, absence of protocols and use of low quality materials, exposing students and teachers to considerable dangers.In 2022, these issues became more relevant due to the inequalities aggravated by the pandemic and the growing use of electrical technologies. The International Labor Organization promoted safety measures, but their implementation faced financial barriers. The research highlighted the importance of clear protocols, constant training and a culture of safety. It also emphasized the role of parents and authorities in ensuring safe facilities and adequate resources.In conclusion, it highlighted the need for a comprehensive approach that combines education, regulation and investment in infrastructure to prevent electrical accidents, ensure well-being and promote sustainable development in the region
A Realist Metaphysics of Race
Authors: Pierce Jeremy
Published: February 2025

In A Realist Metaphysics of Race: A Context-Sensitive, Short-Term Retentionist, Long-Term Revisionist Approach, Jeremy Pierce defends a social kind view of racial categories. On this view, the biological features we use to classify people racially do not make races natural kinds. Rather, races exist because of contingent social practices, single out certain groups of people as races, give them social importance, and allow us to name them as races. Pierce also identifies several kinds of context-sensitivity as central to how racial categorization works and argues that we need racial categories to identify problems in how our racial constructions are formed, including the harmful effects of racial constructions. Hence, rather than seeking to eliminate such categories, Pierce argues that we should also make efforts to change the conditions that generate their problematic elements, with an eye toward retaining only the unproblematic aspects.

A Realist Metaphysics of Race contains insights relevant not just to professional philosophers in metaphysics, philosophy of race, social philosophy, philosophy of language, and philosophy of science, but also to students and scholars working in sociology, biology, anthropology, ethnic studies, and political science.
Anthropological Research Framing for Archaeological Geophysics
Authors: Thompson Jason Randall
Published: February 2025

Recent archaeological scholarship along with technical and technological advances in near-surface geophysics has brought exciting new possibilities to a growing body of archaeological thought. Yet, few explicitly theoretical attempts have been made to provide archaeological geophysics with anthropological premises. Anthropological Research Framing for Archaeological Geophysics: Material Signatures of Past Human Behavior initiates a dialogue with other archaeological and geophysical professionals to do so. Most archaeological applications of geophysics remain methodological and technical, devoted to gaining awareness of buried anthropogenic materials but not human behavior. By proposing the amelioration of communication gaps between traditional and geophysical archaeologists, Jason Randall Thompson foments dialogue and participates in bringing about new ways of thinking anthropologically about archaeological geophysics.
History of Infectious Disease Pandemics in Urban Societies
Authors: Hardt Mark D.
Published: February 2025

Beginning in the mid-19th century tremendous gains were made in the historical struggle with infectious diseases. The emergence of modern medicine and epidemiology, and the establishment of public health measures, helped urban populations overcome a historical death penalty. The conquest of infectious disease has created a human hubris. It is a collective self-delusion that infectious diseases, once exposed to the light of modern medicine, science, and public health would inevitably become eradicated.

When these advances began in the mid-19th century the world’s population was under two billion, mostly non-urbanized. At the dawn of the 21st century the world’s population already surpassed seven billion. The world’s once far flung urban populations have exponentially expanded in number, size, and connectivity.

Infectious diseases have long benefited from the concentration of human population and their opportunistic abilities to take advantage of their interconnectedness. The struggle between humans and infectious diseases is one in which there is a waxing and waning advantage of one over the other. Human hubris has been challenged since the late 1970s with the prospect that infectious diseases are not eradicated. Concerns have increased since the latter third of the twentieth century that infectious diseases are gaining a new foothold. As pandemics from AIDS to Ebola have increased in frequency, there has also developed a sense that a global pandemic of a much greater magnitude is likely to happen. Tracing the historical record, this book examines the manners in which population concentrations have long been associated with the spread of pandemic disease. It also examines the struggle between human attempts to contain infectious diseases, and the microbial struggle to contain human population advancement.
