Authors: Ibáñez Marco Marta , Martínez Cardama Sara
Published: July 2024

Este estudio investiga el impacto de la problemática "Fear of Missing Out"/ “ Miedo a perderse algo” (FOMO) en estudiantes universitarios, centrándose en sus hábitos informativos, su nivel de autoidentificación del mismo y el grado de conocimiento sobre cómo los medios sociales presentan y organizan la información de los algoritmos de las redes sociales La muestra consistió en 205 estudiantes (18-25 años) que participaron en una encuesta en línea sobre redes sociales y FOMO. El estudio evidencia la conexión directa entre el uso excesivo de teléfonos móviles y el FOMO, particularmente en términos de pérdida de concentración y trastornos del sueño. Los respondientes identificaron esta problemática con aspectos más sociales que con aquellos asociados a la sobreabundancia de información u otros desórdenes informativos. No obstante, se detecta un bajo conocimiento de identificación de los mecanismos subyacentes que personalizan y presentan la información en medios sociales. Se subraya la importancia de la concienciación sobre los mecanismos algorítmicos y la necesidad de integrar la conexión entre el FOMO y el bienestar digital en programas de alfabetización digital como un elemento clave en torno al cual desarrollar programas competenciales, así como el papel de las bibliotecas y profesionales de información en esta labor.

Influence of the Characteristic Style of Guangdong Traditional Music on the Structure of Guangdong Piano Music Works: A Study of Cultural Typology
Authors: Niu Jia , Tsai Ping Heng
Published: July 2024

This research paper explores the profound influence of the characteristic style of Guangdong traditional music on the structural elements of Guangdong piano music compositions, employing a cultural typology framework. Guangdong traditional music, renowned for its distinct scales, instruments, and performance techniques, serves as a rich source of inspiration for contemporary piano music composers in the region. Through a meticulous analysis of both traditional and modern musical works, coupled with interviews with composers and archival research, this study unravels the intricate web of connections between these two musical forms. Drawing from these foundations, the research then establishes a clear link between the traditional and contemporary, elucidating how Guangdong traditional music's timbral nuances, melodic motifs, and rhythmic patterns have become integral to the fabric of modern piano compositions. Employing the concept of cultural typology in music studies, this paper not only highlights the influence but also seeks to categorize and systematize the interplay between these two musical genres. The findings, presented with the aid of figures and tables, offer a comprehensive view of the intricate relationships and cultural typologies that have emerged over time.This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the cultural dynamics in music composition, emphasizing the significance of Guangdong traditional music as a living heritage that continues to shape and inspire contemporary artistic expressions. It also underscores the broader implications of cultural typology in the context of music studies, opening doors for further research into cross-cultural music influences.
Entrance Door to the Sacristy of the Sacra Chapel of El Salvador in Úbeda. Geometry of the Passage and Analysis of a Functional Solution
Authors: Suz Adela Acitores , Parada Tamar Awad , González-Lezcano Roberto Alonso
Published: July 2024

One of Andrés de Vandelvira's most singular pieces is the sacristy of the Sacred Chapel of El Salvador in Úbeda. It is also notable for its connection with the church. This connection is made through the left chapel, which was originally intended to fulfil these functions, leaving this small chapel. This article analyses the causes and reasons that led the author to place the sacristy door in the corner of the left side chapel. Its plan geometry and the reasons for its three-dimensional geometry are analysed. Some of the reasons are related to the shape of the sacristy, a typical Spanish Renaissance structure. Others are related to the necessary proximity of this space to the volume of the church. Finally, it solved the problem of the lack of contact between the adjoining walls of the sacristy and the left chapel. There is no doubt that the solution proposed by Vandelvira was logical if it is understood from the origin of the project, which does not detract from the great mastery with which he developed this unusual corner passage.
Can Archaeology be a Form of Colonialism? Exploring the Implications of the Actor-Network Theory
Authors: Ros Sayumphu
Published: July 2024

This research paper examines the long-lasting impact of colonialism in archaeology through the lens of actor-network theory (ANT). It investigates how historical and contemporary power dynamics, particularly those based on Eurocentrism, continue to influence archaeological practices and knowledge production. Besides human actors, the study also emphasizes the importance of nonhuman actors, such as tools, technologies, and data, in reinforcing these asymmetrical power dynamics. Using qualitative research methods, the paper investigates how colonial powers historically dominated the field and how these practices continue to this day. A detailed literature review demonstrates that the dominance of Western narratives in archaeology frequently marginalizes local perspectives and knowledge. The paper advocates for a more collaborative and egalitarian approach to archaeological research, emphasizing the value of community involvement and knowledge co-curation. It implies that using ANT can help uncover and mitigate colonial influences by emphasizing the complex networks of human and non-human interactions that underpin archaeological practices. The study's findings advocate for a reevaluation of research methodologies in archaeology to ensure more equitable and inclusive knowledge production, fostering a better understanding of past and present cultural dynamics. Future implications include the possibility of more equitable power distributions in the field, as well as the promotion of ethical research practices that value and incorporate local voices and expertise.

Published: July 2024

Future development of tourism should be in line with sustainable development. The Republic of Serbia receives the most tourism inflows from the countries with the biggest tourists’ arrivals and overnight stays in the Republic of Serbia. However, a significant discrepancy between tourism inflows and outflows has a negative impact on the economic development of Serbia. This paper aims to investigate the possibilities for eliminating these inconsistencies in line with developed countries and sustainable tourism development. The research method is based on the ranking of countries according to the mentioned criteria and mutual comparison. Tourism development of the Republic of Serbia lags behind developed countries, considering the limited importance tourism has for economic development, as well as the negative balance of inflows and outflows from tourism. That is why the economic dimension of sustainable development has the greatest discrepancies in sustainable tourism development, in relation to the ecological and social aspects, bearing in mind the significant cultural heritage and minor pollution from tourism in the Republic of Serbia.

Published: July 2024

In modern conditions, military conflicts are becoming more common, which makes it relevant to examine their impact on the country’s economy in all possible ways. The purpose of this study was to investigate the situation in the energy industry in Ukraine and other countries of the world in connection with the beginning of a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. The main methods used in the study were analysis, systematisation, and comparison. The paper showed the role of the energy sector in ensuring national and global stability. It was concluded that military conflicts have a significant impact on the stability of this sphere, both in the warring country and in other states that may not be directly involved in the conflict. At the moment, there is a limited amount of statistical data available that can be used to assess the impact of Russia’s military actions on the energy sector of Ukraine. However, based on the available data, it was concluded that their impact is significant and can lead to major problems in the future if there is no decisive action at the moment. During the first attacks of 2022, this has already caused a shortage of energy and blackouts. As part of the study, quite a few approaches were proposed on how to overcome the consequences of military conflict in the global and national energy markets. In particular, the need to develop diversified energy supply routes, increase the use of renewable sources, ensure international cooperation and attract international investment in the industry was noted. The conclusions drawn in the framework of the study allow increasing the effectiveness of the national energy policy in Ukraine, given the military situation in which the country finds itself

Published: July 2024

La colitis microscópica es una enfermedad intestinal caracterizada por desarrollar diarrea crónica acuosa, no sanguinolenta, con endoscopía de aspecto normal. Las entidades que representan a este grupo son la colitis colágena y la colitis linfocítica, cuyos rasgos histológicos son característicos. Aunque la colitis microscópica se considera una enfermedad con baja prevalencia, los estudios presentados en los últimos años evidencian un incremento leve de esta patología. Muchas veces es inducida por medicamentos y se sugiere un origen autoinmune como desencadenante de la inflamación. Describimos el caso de un paciente pediátrico que desarrolló un cuadro de colitis linfocítica durante el tratamiento con ácido valproico, que remitió tras la retirada del fármaco.

Se incluyeron pacientes entre 18 y 75 años, de ambos sexos. Los datos fueron analizados con STATA 15.1. La población estuvo compuesta de 262 pacientes; 71% de sexo femenino. La mediana de edad fue 42,5 años y la mediana del índice de masa corporal de 42,4 kg/m2. En el 40% de los pacientes se detectó H. pylori en las biopsias gástricas. Se detectó H. pylori en 40,2% de los pacientes con endoscopía normal. El patrón endoscópico de mayor frecuencia fue gastropatía, el hallazgo histológico prevalente fue gastritis crónica, única variable asociada a la presencia de H. pylori en forma significativa.
El futuro de los ensayos clínicos
Authors: Masson Walter
Published: July 2024

Los ensayos clínicos representan el más alto nivel de evidencia para la toma de decisiones médicas, tal como se indica en las guías clínicas bajo la recomendación de clase I. Sin embargo, estos estudios presentan ciertas limitaciones, como el tiempo y los costos requeridos, la dificultad para obtener muestras de algunas poblaciones y las barreras éticas. Para acelerar el desarrollo de nuevos fármacos, es esencial contar con una definición clara de biomarcadores pronósticos o predictivos y con criterios de valoración bien establecidos. Además, las limitaciones de personal pueden obstaculizar el progreso de los ensayos clínicos.
The Io torus and highlights from 10 years operation of the Hisaki mission
Authors: Yoshioka Kazuo
Published: July 2024

The Io plasma torus (IPT), located in the Jovian inner magnetosphere (6-8 RJ from the planet), is filled with electrons and heavy ions such as sulfur and oxygen, a significant portion of which originates from the volcanoes on Io. The IPT serves as a crucial region connecting the primary plasma source (Io) with the middle and outer magnetosphere, where highly dynamic phenomena occur. Understanding the behavior of plasma in the IPT is essential for discussing the plasma dynamics in the whole Jovian magnetosphere. A comprehensive understanding of the IPT can be achieved through spectral analysis of ion emissions, which are generated by electron impact excitation. This method is called 'plasma diagnostics.' The emission lines from ions in the IPT are mainly in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) region. Therefore, EUV spectroscopic data are important for the study of Jupiter’s inner magnetosphere. Hisaki, an Earth-orbiting spacecraft equipped with the extreme ultraviolet spectroscope EXCEED, has been providing high-resolution spectra of the IPT from 2013 to 2023. Here we present a summary of 10 years of operations for IPT spectroscopic observation by Hisaki. Ion and electron density variation, the relationship between the IPT and auroras, and responses to volcanic activity will be discussed.
Exploring the Relationship between CLIL and L1 Ability in Finland: Analyzing Written and Oral Production

This study explores the relationship between CLIL and L1 ability in a Finnish secondary education context. The study is based on the analysis of L1 written and oral productions of four ninth-grade students (2 CLIL and 2 non-CLIL). Written production was evaluated through a short essay task, while oral production was assessed via a verbal fluency task and a picture naming task. In the written task, students responded to a question related to a topic previously covered in their curriculum. In the verbal fluency task, participants were given 60 seconds to produce as many words as they could beginning with a given letter. In the picture naming task, participants were asked to name 12 pictures that were shown on a screen. The results were analyzed and discussed regarding not only participants’ linguistic backgrounds but also their self-assessed language abilities in English and Finnish. In two of the tasks, the CLIL students performed worse than the non-CLIL students in their L1; however, no clear pattern emerged in the third task. The study sheds light on the relationship between CLIL and L1 ability in the context of a discussion about the benefits and linguistic costs associated with bilingualism. The results highlight the importance of accounting for the impact of socioeconomic status and other L2 exposure in future studies in this area. In addition, the authors contend this is an area of research that merits additional attention given the present and future scope of bilingual education globally.
Programmed Cell Death Vs Death by Suicide; A Functional Comparison
Authors: N. de Silva Prasanna
Published: July 2024

This article reviews the physiology of programmed cell death (PCD); commonly known as cell suicide. The 3 main processes of PCD; apoptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis are described, including external and internal signalling precipitating cell death. These are then compared with behavioural phenotypes of planned suicide, associated with toxic relationships, ‘anomie’ (disconnection from the contemporary social network), ‘learned helplessness’ (the main model for depression), social media reporting of suicides and political indoctrination leading to suicide bombings. Ethical arguments for and against active medical assistance in completing suicide by people with progressive neuropsychiatric disorders (such as dementias) and those with long standing severe mental illness (such as anorexia and personality disorder) are discussed. Emerging therapeutic prospects of ‘stalling’ PCD and using inflamatory interleukin patterns to predict overwhelming PCD and dramatic suicides are highlighted.
Beneficial Health Effects of Malic Acid Water Treatment on Cultured Intestinal Epithelial Cells and Functional Neutrophils
Authors: C. Dartsch Peter , Hüther Fabio
Published: July 2024

The Swiss company Evodrop has developed a malic acid granulate cartridge technology to reduce calcium carbonate deposition in water pipes and improves the quality of drinking water. Cell biological methods were used to investigate whether tap water, after passing through the filter system with the malic acid granulate cartridge, has additional beneficial effects in comparison to the original tap water. By using cultured intestinal epithelial cells, we examined the regeneration and the intestinal epithelial barrier integrity as well as the anti-inflammatory potential of this water treatment. The regeneration of the intestinal epithelial cells was significantly stimulated by the malic acid filter cartridge treatment when compared to the initial tap water. The residual cell-free area was 17.3 ± 1.7% (mean ± standard deviation) for the untreated tap water and only 10.5 ± 3.0% (mean ± standard deviation) for the tap water after malic acid filter cartridge treatment. This difference in colonized area was statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05). In addition, the cell layers incubated with the untreated tap water had a transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) of 1,522 ± 111 Ω/cm2 (mean ± standard deviation) and the cells incubated with the tap water after malic acid filter cartridge treatment had a TEER of 4,183 ± 495 Ω/cm2 (mean ± standard deviation). This represents an increase in intestinal epithelial barrier integrity by more than 2.5-fold and was statistically highly significant (p ≤ 0.01). Both water samples caused a concentration-dependent reduction in endogenous radical formation during an oxidative burst of functional neutrophils as inflammatory-mediating cells. However, the reduction of radical formation, and thus also the anti-inflammatory effect, was 22 ± 4.7% (mean ± standard deviation; p ≤ 0.01) better with the tap water after malic acid filter cartridge treatment than with the untreated tap water at a concentration of 40 vol%. Even at 10 vol%, the tap water after malic acid filter cartridge treatment reduced radical formation by 15.2 ± 6.6% (mean ± standard deviation; p ≤ 0.05) when compared with the untreated tap water. The cell culture tests performed in this study proved that tap water, after passing through the filter system with the malic acid granulate cartridge from Evodrop AG, achieved a considerable improvement in quality. This was demonstrated in intestinal epithelial cells by the significant increase in cellular regeneration and integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier and by the reduction in radical formation of inflammation-mediating cells. Therefore, the malic acid water treatment can contribute to maintain and improve intestinal health and human well-being.
