Introduction. Endometrial cancer is the most prevailing gynecological malignancy in developed countries, with an incidence rising annually. For years, systematic lymphadenectomy had been the preferred method for staging purposes, but a less aggressive approach, with no negative impact on the oncologic outcomes, is the current trend in endometrial cancer management. In this review, we aim to evaluate the role of sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping as an eligible alternative to complete pelvic lymphadenectomy in the surgical staging process, as well as its influence on the adjuvant treatment options. Materials and method. We analyzed the leading international guidelines regarding sentinel lymph node mapping in endometrial cancer, published between 2018 and 2023, as well as several studies that met the inclusion criteria, from the PubMed database, to outline the recommended surgical techniques, the algorithm, the accuracy, and the advantages of the SLN sampling procedure compared to pelvic lymphadenectomy. Results. Most international guidelines conclude that SLN sampling is the desirable alternative to systematic lymphadenectomy. However, it is agreed that, in case of failed SLN mapping, the radical option consisting in complete pelvic lymphadenectomy is recommended. As far as high-risk patients are concerned, most of the reviewed studies and guidelines encourage the use of SLN mapping in the treatment of endometrial cancer. Our findings revealed high sensitivity and detection rates of SLN mapping, influenced especially by the type of tracer used, indocyanine green having the best outcomes. Conclusions. Considering the high sensitivity and the low morbidity rates of the procedure, SLN mapping is soon to become a gold standard practice for the surgical staging process of endometrial cancer in many gynecologic oncology centers. Thus, SLN mapping represents a viable alternative to complete pelvic lymphadenectomy, acknowledging the principles of minimally invasive surgery and personalized medicine, without compromising the oncologic outcomes.

Published: December 2023

Eutectic solvents are tunable for targeted applications through the functional groups in their hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and hydrogen bond donor (HBD) components, as well as the HBA:HBD composition ratio. This study examines the properties of choline-based eutectics containing imidazole, phenol, pyrrole-2-carbonitrile, and 1,2,4-triazole HBAs, and ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and ethanolamine HBDs. The viscosity, conductivity, degree of hydrogen bonding, thermal stability, and solvatochromic properties are examined as a function of HBA, HBD, and the composition. These studies revealed a predominant dependence of physical properties on the HBD and determined that the strong hydrogen bonding in phenol and imidazole based system lead to higher viscosities and lower conductivities– critical parameters for CO2 capture and electrochemical conversion. The developed eutectic solvents were further evaluated in terms of their potential for CO2 capture capacity and electrochemical stabilities. Solvatochromic properties were found to correlate with CO2 capacities, demonstrating the tunability of these solvents for CO2 capture. The quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) analysis demonstrated the ability to predict viscosities and CO2 capture capacities (< 25% deviation) through multi linear regression method utilizing five molecular descriptors. This work highlights the role of functionalized HBAs and HBDs on the physical, thermal, and electrochemical properties of eutectic solvents as they relate to CO2 capture and electrochemical processes.
Persistent Topological Laplacians -- a Survey
Authors: Wei Xiaoqi , Wei Guo-Wei
Published: December 2023

Persistent topological Laplacians constitute a new class of tools in topological data analysis (TDA), motivated by the necessity to address challenges encountered in persistent homology when handling complex data. These Laplacians combines multiscale analysis with topological techniques to characterize the topological and geometrical features of functions and data. Their kernels fully retrieve the topological invariants of persistent homology, while their nonharmonic spectra provide supplementary information, such as the homotopic shape evolution of data. Persistent topological Laplacians have demonstrated superior performance over persistent homology in addressing large-scale protein engineering datasets. In this survey, we offer a pedagogical review of persistent topological Laplacians formulated on various mathematical objects, including simplicial complexes, path complexes, flag complexes, diraphs, hypergraphs, hyperdigraphs, cellular sheaves, as well as $N$-chain complexes. Alongside fundamental mathematical concepts, we emphasize the theoretical formulations associated with various persistent topological Laplacians and illustrate their applications through numerous simple geometric shapes.

Published: December 2023

Aqueous mixtures of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes and surfactants are useful in many industrial applications, including shampoos and hair conditioners. In this work, we investigate the friction between biomimetic hair surfaces in the presence of adsorbed complexes formed from cationic polyelectrolytes and anionic surfactants in aqueous solution. For this purpose, we apply non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations using the coarse-grained MARTINI model. We develop new MARTINI parameters for cationic guar gum (CGG), a functionalized, plant-derived polysaccharide. The surface complexation of CGG and the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on virgin and bleached hair is studied using a sequential adsorption approach, whereby CGG is deposited first, followed by SDS. The stability of the adsorbed complexes with respect to compression were then tested using squeeze-out simulations, where some of the water and SDS molecules are removed from the contact. Finally, we carry out sliding NEMD simulations to assess the boundary lubrication performance of the polyelectrolyte-surfactant complex compressed between virgin and chemically damaged biomimetic hair surfaces. We observe synergistic friction behaviour for the CGG-SDS complex, which gives lower shear stress than either pure CGG or SDS. We observe large reductions in the shear stress by the CGG-SDS complex at relatively low normal stress (≤ 20 MPa) compared to water. At higher normal stresses, which are probably beyond those usually experienced during hair manipulation, SDS and water are squeezed out and the shear stress with the complex increases to levels higher than those observed for pure water due to increased interdigitation. Thus, the CGG-SDS complex generally increases the friction coefficient, but decreases the adhesive Derjaguin offset compared to pure water. The outcomes of this work are expected to be beneficial to fine-tune and screen sustainable hair care formulations to provide low friction and therefore a smooth feel and superior entanglement behaviour.

Resolution and Resolve
Authors: Bruxvoort Abigail
Published: December 2023

Folk psychology holds that resolving to do something is effective in resisting temptation. What is a resolution? Resolutions are often understood as two-tier intentions or an intention-desire pair. However, both accounts of resolution are subject to a problem. Why should we expect the second-order aspect of resolutions to resist temptation? Even if we posit that we have additional or independent reasons for the second-order intention or desire, these reasons will be insufficient in the face of temptation, because temptation makes one’s reasons for acting on tempting desires very salient. From the first-person perspective there is no neutral deliberative space from which to take stock of reasons when being tempted. I conclude that rationally resisting temptation instead requires forestalling temptation through the practical virtue of resolve. Resolve understood as a virtue involves dispositions to deliberate and desire in accordance with one’s resolutions.
Three Shortcomings of the Trolley Method of Moral Philosophy
Authors: Crain Guy
Published: December 2023

In this paper I argue that the trolley method of moral philosophy has three shortcomings not yet adequately addressed in the literature.  First, trolley problems highlight high stakes ethical decisions.  These decisions do not represent the majority of ethical decisions made by most people, and thus, the trolley method ignores most of moral life.  Second, the trolley method operates by way of a faux-anonymization of moral agents.  This process leads to descriptions of moral agents being unwittingly supplied by those to whom the problems are presented and thereby the formation of a paradigmatic moral agent which excludes a considerable number of real world moral persons.  Lastly, the trolley method mischaracterizes what most moral decision-making is like by presenting a moral agent's decision as isolated, uninfluenced, and made with full self-awareness.

Published: December 2023

In laboratory rats, dominance manifests as agonistic behaviour that damages social bonds between individuals. In this study, the effect of the housing system and environmental enrichment on the social dominance in male Wistar rats was assessed in the social dominance tube test. Rats were housed in different housing systems (individual vs. social housing, with or without enrichment) from weaning and tested at the age of 7 weeks. In each test, two rats from different housing systems were released into opposite ends of a narrow tube and the rat that forced its opponent out of the tube was declared the winner (the more dominant animal). In this way, all possible combinations of housing systems were tested and number of wins were recorded and percentage of the total number of matches was calculated. The results show that environmental enrichment suppresses (P < 0.001) dominant behaviour in individually housed rats while no such effect was seen in socially housed male rats (P = 0.532). However, social housing combined with enrichment was more effective in reduction of dominant behaviour compared to only providing enrichment for individually housed rats. Reduction of variability in the manifestations of dominant behaviour is important in animals used for experimental purposes from the perspective of greater homogeneity of animals, which ensures obtaining valid research results and at the same time better living conditions for laboratory animals.

Reflexiones sobre el buen vivir desde tres miradas epistémicas: revisión de la literatura, diálogo de saberes e investigación interdisciplinar.
Authors: Díaz-Muñoz José Guillermo
Published: December 2023

El presente trabajo es resultado de un amplio proceso de indagación, discusión y construcción del concepto del buen vivir como una de las alternativas al desarrollo dominante en el sistema-mundo capitalista actual. Se pretende ampliar y complementar, con esta propuesta, las diversas miradas epistémicas como es construido el concepto en el mundo actual, tanto en el académico como en las comunidades indígenas. Para ello, se ha optado por integrar tres tipos de metodologías que resultan diversas y complementarias: una amplia revisión de la literatura que ubica las cuatro principales tendencias del buen vivir (socialista, ecologista, indigenista y compleja), una experiencia de diálogo de saberes de una red socioacadémica de organizaciones por el buen vivir, y la construcción de un protocolo de investigación transversal e interdisciplinario que agrupa a un conjunto de académicos provenientes de un centro académico universitario con diversos proyectos temáticos interfuncionales de investigación/formación/intervención social. En las reflexiones finales se da cuenta de los principales aportes generales que ofrece el buen vivir como concepto alternativo para cualquier tipo de sociedad y no solo para los pueblos ancestrales.

Published: December 2023

La impartición de justicia es una de las funciones más trascendentes del estado moderno, donde un órgano especializado dirime aquellas controversias que le plantean los ciudadanos, aplicando normas jurídicas de carácter general a un caso particular, para resolver la discordia que plantean las partes, emitiendo su resolución en forma objetiva, justa, equitativa, imparcial e independiente.  Para que el Estado mexicano garantice la emisión de sentencias justas y equitativas, es necesario que a la vez se garantice el cumplimiento de una serie de presupuestos en el desarrollo de la actividad jurisdiccional, entre los cuales destaca la necesidad de lograr especialización de jueces y magistrados y brindarles la oportunidad de una capacitación permanente y adecuada a la labor que desempeñan. Asimismo, se requiere contar con jueces independientes, libres de presiones exteriores e interiores, para que emitan sus decisiones sin más apego que al cumplimiento de lo dispuesto por las leyes con base en los hechos que constituyen la base de la litis y las pruebas producidas en la etapa de juicio para que el tribunal este objetivamente legitimado a emitir resoluciones justas democráticas y congruentes con las demandas planteadas por las partes.

Acceptance of Oral Sex among High School Students in Budapest: Incidence and Correlates
Authors: Márta Zsoldos
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Adolescents and young adults often engage in oral sex. However, the factors affecting the development of agreeing with oral sex are not clear enough. Objective: We aimed to assess the degree of agreement with oral sex among high school students and to search for background factors affecting this. Material and method: We conducted a quantitative cross-sectional study among 157 females and 38 male high school students over the age of eighteen by using an anonymous, paper-based, multiple-choice, self-administered questionnaire. For statistical analysis, we used descriptive statistics, two-sample t-tests, and Spearman rank correlation. Results: Of the respondents 67.9% were sexually active and 31.6% of them had more than one sexual partner. Of males 97.1% and of females 84.9% agreed with accepting oral sex. Degree of agreement with oral sex was higher in those who had had partnered sexual experience, and in those females who more frequently met close friends outside of school. Most participants were not in a current relationship with a partner, and for those who were, its duration did not affect the degree of accepting oral sex. The degree of agreement with the proficiency in male sexuality, and the degree of agreement with those dimensions of sexuality that most expressed the sexual drive and the desire to gratify it with the partner showed the strongest positive correlation with the degree of agreement with oral sex. In addition, the degree of agreement with the items of expressing sexual openness showed correlations with the degree of accepting oral sex. Conclusion: The degree of agreement with oral sex is high among high school students. Among the factors influencing this, the intensity of meeting friends seems to be important. We therefore recommend that the schools improve sex education in groups, highlighting the risks of oral sex, to reach the target individuals and their friends as well as their potential partners.

Authors: Bahl Deepika , Bassi Shalini , Thapliyal Nishibha , Sinha Praveen , Arora Monika , S. Gill Munish
Published: December 2023

Background

Social networking sites (SNS) have become the contemporary platform of choice for advertising, promoting, sponsoring, boosting and expanding tobacco marketing. A youth-led campaign was conducted to (i) identify and collate violations of tobacco advertisement, promotion, and sponsorship on SNS; and (ii) undertake content analysis of the collated violations.

Methods

After a series of capacity-building webinars aimed at empowering youths, they were tasked with collating posts (photos and videos) that showcased the promotion and sale of tobacco products online. Additionally, the youth identified relevant hashtags used to promote tobacco.

Results

The youth identified 748 posts (photos and videos) on SNS where tobacco was being promoted. Most of these posts (84.7%) promoted the ‘smoking form’ of tobacco. Renowned celebrities and influencers with massive followership actively endorsed tobacco products. The youth identified 148 pages that were involved in selling tobacco online. Instagram (62.7%) accounted for the majority, followed by Facebook (23.7%). The most commonly available forms of tobacco in these online stores were ‘smoked forms’ (73.5%). In their efforts, the youth collated 1412 hashtags related to tobacco promotion. The most commonly reported hashtags were #smoking and #hookah. The maximum numbers of tobacco posts were for #vape (296 million) and #smoke (218 million).

Authors: Magalhães Tânia Guedes , Cristovão Vera Lúcia Lopes
Published: December 2023

Neste trabalho, apresentamos um panorama das diferentes configurações que a sequência didática ganhou no Brasil como procedimento para o ensino de línguas amplamente conhecido. Trazemos primeiramente o constructo que denominamos de original, mostrando algumas críticas feitas a ele e suas possíveis interpretações. Em seguida, abordamos variadas adaptações que buscaram ampliar o procedimento, adaptações essas que incluíram mais etapas, módulos e ou estratégias, sem, contudo, modificar suas bases teóricas, principalmente a centralidade do gênero textual. Buscamos, ainda, discorrer sobre os itinerários, elencando suas características a fim de confrontá-las com a sequência. Os resultados mostram que as variadas reconfigurações feitas buscaram aprimorar o procedimento, tornando-o mais pertinente para o ensino de línguas em diferentes realidades escolares.
Refletindo sobre artefatos do trabalho do professor e sua natureza prescritiva sob a perspectiva marxista e Interacionista Sociodiscursiva
Authors: Silva Alessandra Augusta Pereira da , Mott Fernandez Cristina
Published: December 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir o trabalho do professor de língua inglesa (doravante LI) com base no Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo (ISD) e no marxismo, a partir de recortes de duas pesquisas em nível de doutorado do Programa de Estudos da Linguagem da Universidade Estadual de Londrina e vinculados ao grupo de pesquisa Linguagem e Educação (LED). Ele traz uma reflexão sobre o significado das prescrições no trabalho do professor formador e do professor da educação básica na rede pública e a função que elas ocupam neste contexto, a partir da investigação sobre o material/livro didático selecionado/produzido por professores formadores de professores de LI e dos manuais do professor (MP) de coleções didáticas de LI, aprovados nas avaliações do Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD) dos anos 2011 e 2014. A discussão desenvolvida neste artigo permite constatar que, as prescrições e autoprescrições que fazem parte do dia a dia do professor podem ser fator gerador de desenvolvimento, contudo, as condições cada vez mais precárias do trabalho docente, nos diversos níveis de ensino, resultam na sobrecarga de trabalho, na desvalorização do professor, podendo tornar os esforços na formação e nas políticas públicas, como é o caso do PNLD e da adoção de livro didático, inócuos
Криволинейная экономика
Authors: Крюков В.А.
Published: December 2023

Мир стремительно меняется под влиянием геополитических событий, которые, в свою очередь, во многом определяются обстоятельствами экономического характера. Это и бурное развитие современных технологий, многие из которых ставят под вопрос участие человека не только в производственных, но и в управленческих процессах, а также в поисках решения экономических, социальных, экологических и прочих проблем. Это и не менее резкое изменение соотношения «центров силы» как в мире в целом, так и во всех сферах человеческой деятельности; и быстрое нарастание экзистенциальных угроз под воздействием климатических и экологических преобразований.

Land Use Among Prehistoric Steppe Societies on the South Mongolian Plateau
Authors: Zhao Chao
Published: December 2023

This book uses a cultural ecological approach to explore how prehistoric societies were economically and socially organized to utilize the steppe environment in the southern Mongolian Plateau before the emergence of specialized herding economies in the early and middle Holocene. The research is based on a combination of excavation and survey data from the Ulanqab region of Inner Mongolia. The dynamic land use strategies were examined through the lens of subsistence, mobility, and social integration, based on lithic assemblages, settlement patterns, and other material expressions. The results indicate that although the specifics of subsistence practices changed from the Early Neolithic to the Mid-Late Neolithic/Early Bronze age, people made intensive use of the landscape, adopted semi-sedentary lifeways, and combined hunting-gathering with small-scale farming. It reveals a divergent trajectory of cultural adaptation when compared with the core Monsoon-affected zones of northern China during this time period.
