Habitando en comunidad: voces eternizadas en el aula
Authors: Diaz Laverde Angie Nataly , Modesto Gonzalez Mariana
Published: January 2025

Al hablar de Inclusión Educativa (IE), esta se atribuye únicamente al licenciado en educación especial y al trabajo con las personas con discapacidad (PcD); en algunos contextos, las acciones inclusivas de la IE se orientan a capacitar a los docentes para asumir la escuela inclusiva, sin embargo, se olvida y aísla de estas acciones transformadoras el rol que ejercen los habitantes primarios, los estudiantes. En este sentido, para esta investigación fue importante reconocer el papel del estudiante en los procesos de IE del municipio de Sopo-Cundinamarca, desde la apropiación y entendimiento de la alteridad y otredad, y la relación con el aprendizaje cooperativo.  
La investigación se ubica en el paradigma sociocrítico, con un enfoque de Investigación Acción, planteado por Jhon Elliot, (2000). La información recolectada contó con el consentimiento informado por parte de los participantes, que fueron 420 estudiantes de las Instituciones Educativas Departamentales (IEDs) la Violeta, Rafael Pombo y CEIS (Complejo Educativo Integral de Sopó).  
Se concluye, que los estudiantes reconocen las diferencias como cualidades del ser, configurando la construcción colectiva de una sociedad más inclusiva. De esta manera, se descentraliza los roles tradicionales que atienden los procesos de IE, entreviendo un espacio de participación colectiva como agentes de cambio y transformación.
Las viejas vemos a través de las paredes... Locura y parrhesía en La casa de Bernarda Alba
Authors: Ortega Sierra Sara , Bradley Erica
Published: January 2025

En este artículo se analiza al personaje de María Josefa, en La casa de Bernarda Alba, como figura amplificada de la loca, un término de rica polisemia que abarca, entre otras posibilidades, la figura del bufón teatral y del inocente de los Evangelios. El comportamiento excéntrico y el discurso verídico del bufón, así como el don de visión sobrenatural y la función profética de vidente atribuidos tradicionalmente al inocente, hacen de ambos entes segregados de la sociedad; pero, al mismo tiempo, ambos son agentes capaces de cuestionar el orden monológico y estratificado, así como el sentido único de la justicia, por medio de un discurso cómico, subversivo, auténtico y delatador inherente a la parrhesía. El uso del decir veraz, o parrhesía, desde la exclusión social, permite promover a María Josefa, como loca-bufona y loca-inocente, de personaje secundario a una figura de mediación entre los personajes de la obra y entre el escenario y el público. La parrhesía permitirá, asimismo, contextualizar y complementar la interpretación de la figura de María Josefa con la de La Poncia, la sirvienta de la casa de Bernarda.

Published: January 2025

El artículo da cuenta de la investigación en curso que se inició en el año 2015 “Prácticas facilitadoras del aprendizaje en niños con discapacidad múltiple y sordoceguera” de la Universidad Católica de Córdoba. El objetivo es describir las características de las prácticas educativas que favorecen la adquisición de aprendizaje significativo en niños con Discapacidad Múltiple (DM) y con Sordoceguera (SC) de 6 a 12 años. El estudio se desarrolla en instituciones educativas de América Latina y el Caribe (ALyC) con la participación de estudiantes, docentes y familias. La información se recabó mediante el análisis de materiales fílmicos de prácticas profesionales, en escenarios formales y no formales, bajo la guía de un protocolo estructurado de observación, y a través de entrevistas en profundidad. En base al análisis realizado surge que las categorías del protocolo de Buchanan se aplican por la mayoría de los profesionales de ALyC y también emergieron nuevos indicadores. Además, se observa la importancia de ofrecer espacios en las instituciones para que los profesionales analicen sus propias prácticas educativas. Por otra parte, da a luz la necesidad de disponer de carreras de formación específica y de capacitación permanente a lo largo de la vida profesional para ofrecer prácticas educativas de calidad.
Автономні комплекси з гібридними тригенераційними установками
Authors: Косой Б.В. , Грудка Б.Г. , Гайдук С.В. , Чубенко В.В.
Published: January 2025

На сьогоднішній день тригенерація – це одна з кращих технологій, що дозволяє досягати значних показників економії енергоресурсів, збільшуючи термічну ефективність енергокомплексу до 80% і більше, мінімізуючи викиди парникових газів, а також інших забруднень в атмосферу. Тригенерація найбільш затребувана у сферах, де необхідно використовувати охолодження в технологічних процесах. Насамперед це харчова промисловість. Холод, який генерує тригенераційна установка, спрямовується на охолодження сировини чи готового продукту. Також застосування тригенерації ефективно на підприємствах, де передбачається цілорічно використовувати холодильні потужності. Тригенераційна установка як більш вигідна та ефективна альтернатива класичним джерелам тепло-, холодо- та енергопостачання застосовується також у металургії, хімічній, нафтовій промисловості та інших галузях. Тригенерація – досить самостійний напрямок розвитку малої енергетики. Вона відрізняється індивідуалізмом, оскільки орієнтується задоволення потреб конкретного об'єкта в енергоресурсах. У статті розглядається застосування систем тригенерації при виробництві низькотемпературних натуральних речовин. Діоксид вуглецю є ліквідним продуктом, який одержують із димових газів, що утворюються після спалювання природного газу. Аналіз показує, що вигідніше спочатку в когенераційній установці, що працює на природному газі, виробити електроенергію та теплоту. Під час створення таких систем виникають проблеми: продукти згоряння після когенераційної установки містять 8-10% кисню; потенціал одержуваної теплоти виявляється низьким. Запропоновано декілька варіантів усунення зазначених недоліків. Це дозволило створити автономно та ефективно діючі багатоцільові енерготехнологічні комплекси, що використовують лише природний газ, з метою вироблення електроенергії, теплоти, рідкого низькотемпературного діоксиду вуглецю та чистого газоподібного азоту. У цих комплексах реалізується високий енергетичний потенціал палива
Гібридні тригенераційні установки для багатоцільових енерготехнологічних комплексів

Більшість електроенергії у світі виробляється на конденсаційних електростанціях. Це означає, що теплова енергія перетворюється на електричну за допомогою парової турбіни. Середній коефіцієнт корисної дії традиційних електростанцій становить приблизно 38 %, а понад 60 % виробленої енергії втрачається у навколишнє середовище у вигляді невикористаного відпрацьованого тепла. Тригенераційна установка являє собою крок у напрямку енергетичної децентралізації та підвищення ефективності. Вона використовує відпрацьоване тепло, щоб підвищити загальну ефективність системи. Діоксид вуглецю та азот необхідні для інтенсифікації нафто- та газовидобутку. Їх можна отримувати з димових газів, що утворюються після спалювання природного газу. Аналіз показує, що в тригенераційній установці, що працює на природному газі, вигідніше спочатку виробити електроенергію та теплоту, а потім виділити діоксид вуглецю та азот. У когенераційній установці двигун внутрішнього згоряння, що працює на газі, приводить в дію генератор, який виробляє електроенергію. При цьому утворюється надлишкове тепло, і його можна використати за допомогою теплообмінника. При цьому виникають дві проблеми, що важко вирішувати: продукти згоряння після когенераційної установки містять 8-10% кисню; потенціал одержуваної теплоти виявляється низьким. Запропоновано декілька варіантів усунення недоліків. Це дозволило створити автономно та ефективно діючі багатоцільові енерготехнологічні комплекси, що використовують тільки природний газ, з метою вироблення електроенергії, теплоти, рідкого низькотемпературного діоксиду вуглецю та чистого газоподібного або рідкого азоту. Енерготехнологічні комплекси дозволяють включати до свого складу також і повітророздільні установки, що сприяє розширенню номенклатури вироблених продуктів, зокрема, за рахунок кисню. У цих комплексах повністю реалізується високий енергетичний потенціал газу
On the Way to a Secularized Theology: Why Today’s Disapproval of an Atemporal God Is Gaining Momentum?
Authors: Shokhin Vladimir K.
Published: January 2025

The ongoing secularization of religion, which is associated with the development of a “post-secular society,” also manifests itself in a major controversy in analytic theology, which not so long ago remained a stronghold of religious traditionalism. The belief in the inseparability of essential atemporality of the Divine from creationism, which lies at the core of Christianity and other monotheistic religions, is in the process of being revised by a growing majority of Christian theologians. The conception of a timeless God that is currently under attack by temporalist theologians is criticized as an outdated commitment on the part of traditional theology to the Neoplatonic doctrine of a “static” Absolute. However, the desire for a “static” Absolute is not limited to Greek thought but has intercultural foundations, and in reality, no contradiction between Divine activity and atemporality can be derived from the Greek, Arabic, and Indian texts dealing with it. The increasing popularity of theological temporalism is explained in terms of a scientistic attachment to evolutionism and associated urge to “democratize” a transcendent God. Some parallels from Continental “post-secular” theology, including the anthropocentric turn that replaces a theocentric vision of the world with a humanistic orientation, are also discussed.
Digital Age Pedagogy: How European and Asian Business School Students Perceive Competence-Oriented Education
Authors: Serafimova Desislava , Jaroenwanit Pensri , Phuensane Pongsutti
Published: January 2025

This study examines the perceptions of competence-oriented educational practices in the digital age among business school students from European and Asian cultures. The statement emphasizes the need for essential competencies and maintaining a balance between study and personal life. The study sampled 800 undergraduate students, equally in Thailand and Bulgaria, to assess the impact of key competencies, digital literacy, and the integration of digital technologies on students’ educational choices. The findings revealed significant differences in how students from these two regions perceive the importance of these factors. Thai students tend to emphasize a balanced set of competencies but are less inclined to value digital skills as highly as their Bulgarian counterparts. In contrast, Bulgarian students place a greater emphasis on digital competencies, reflecting the European education system’s broader integration of digital literacy into its curricula. The evidence suggests that a global trend towards the recognition of digital technologies is crucial for achieving a study–life balance with minimal differences between the regions in this regard. This convergence suggests an emerging global consensus on the role of digital education in promoting lifelong learning. The authors recommend incorporating region-specific teaching philosophies to improve student engagement and promote a healthy study–life balance.

The reproductive cycle of the Asian House Gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus) in Brisbane, south-eastern Queensland: a tropical invader of a subtropical, seasonal environment
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Amey Andrew
Published: January 2025

The Asian House Gecko, Hemidactylus frenatus, is a successful invader of much of the tropical habitat of the world. It has also colonised many subtropical, seasonal areas, including Brisbane, Queensland, where it has become abundant, further from the equator than any other known breeding population. The reproductive cycle of this population was investigated and, in contrast to equatorial populations, it was found to be strongly seasonal, with females generally ceasing breeding activity in March to August and males also reducing reproductive effort May to June.
A revision of the carabid tribe Migadopini in Australia (Insecta, Coleoptera, Carabidae, Migadopini)
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Baehr Martin
Published: January 2025

The Australian members of the carabid tribe Migadopini are revised. A new genus and four species and one additional subspecies are newly described: Dendromigadops gen. nov. with the species D. alticola sp. nov. from mountains on Atherton Tableland in North Queensland and D. gloriosus sp. nov. from Mt. Glorious in South-east Queensland, Stichonotus decoloratus sp. nov. from Tasmania, Calyptogonia lynetteae sp. nov. from north-western Tasmania, and Cayptogonia atra occidentalis subsp. Nov. from western Tasmania. The genera Nebriosoma Castelnau, 1867, Stichonotus Sloane, 1910, Decogmus Sloane, 1915, and Calyptogonia Sloane, 1920 are partly redescribed and the male genitalia and female gonocoxites of all species are figured. Keys to the genera of the Australian Migadopini and to the species of Dendromigadops, Stichonotus, and Calyptogonia are provided. According to the structure of their female gonocoxites Dendromigadops belongs in the subtribe Migadopina and is related to Decogmus and Calyptogonia, but in body shape it is quite distinct from all described Australian genera of the subtribe.
A second species of Tristichopterus (Sarcopterygii: Tristichopteridae), from the Upper Devonian of the Baltic Region
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Bishop Peter
Published: January 2025

A review of the osteology of the tristichopterid sarcopterygian Eusthenopteron kurshi Zupinš, 2008, from the Lower Frasnian of Latvia, indicates that it should be placed in the genus Tristichopterus, and a new combination Tristichopterus kurshi Zupiņs is proposed. The features that support this include: the number of coronoid fangs, proportions of the coronoids and the skull roof, and the relatively small epichordal lobe of the caudal fin. Recognition of a second species of Tristichopterus extends the stratigraphic range of the genus to the Upper Devonian, and its geographic range to the Baltic Region in northern Europe.
Arboreality, excavation, and active foraging: novel observations of radiotracked woma pythons Aspidites ramsayi
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Bruton Melissa
Published: January 2025

Novel wild behaviours were observed during a 21 month intensive radiotracking study of the woma python Aspidites ramsayi (Macleay, 1882) in south-western Queensland, Australia. Arboreal behaviour was unexpected in this terrestrial and burrow-dwelling species, with no previous anecdotal or published reports. Arboreal activity occurred strictly at night during warm weather and was associated with sleeping reptile predation, particularly predation upon bearded dragons Pogona barbata (Cuvier, 1829). Excavation behaviour in wild womas was predicted from captive specimens in 1981, but has not been reported to date. Two observations of radiotracked womas excavating in alluvial clay soils are detailed with comments on the function of this behaviour. Finally, brief descriptions and a summary of all thirteen feeding observations are given. Bearded dragons P. barbata, sand goannas Varanus gouldii (Gray, 1838) and yakka skinks Egernia rugosa (De Vis, 1888) were the most commonly observed prey items; however predation and ingestion of one large mammal - an adult hare Lepus capensis (Linneaus, 1758) - was also observed. Pre-and post-feeding movements indicate an active foraging strategy predominates; however ambush behaviour was also observed. Here I outline and summarise these novel wild behavioural observations and discuss them in the context of known snake ecology and physiology. These observations greatly enhance the behavioural and ecological understanding of this large, yet elusive python.
Three new cicada species of the genus Gudanga Distant (Insecta: Cicadidae: Cicadettinae: Cicadettini) from Queensland; comparative morphology, songs, behaviour and distributions
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Ewart Anthony , Popple Lindsay
Published: January 2025

Three additional cicada species belonging to the genus Gudanga are described from Queensland. G. lithgowae sp. nov. from south east Queeensland, and G. nowlandi sp. nov. and G. emmotti sp. nov., both from south west Queensland, bringing the total of described Queensland species to five. Detailed comparisons are presented of the morphologies, colourations, distributions and calling songs of the five Queensland Gudanga species. The calling songs are shown to also be characteristic for each of these species. These comprise two distinct song types, those with two echemes per song phrase and those with three echemes per song phrase. The latter type is characteristic of the three new species described in this paper, the specificity of the songs of each of these three species confirmed by detailed statistical analyses. A revised key is presented for the nine known Australian species.
A revision of Hypselosoma Reuter (Insecta: Heteroptera: Schizopteridae) from New Caledonia
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Hill Lionel
Published: January 2025

The identity of Hypselosoma oculatum Reuter is clarified and 19 new species are described from New Caledonia. The new species are H. hypselosomatum, H. amieuensis, H. bleuensis, H. koghiensis, H. mandjeliensis, H. mouensis, H. rhinatum, H. elytratum (the preceding eight forming H. hypselosomatum group), H. chorizobregmatum, H. dicroum, H.gephyrobregmatum, H. haplacanthatum, H. ndouaensis, H. nordiensis, H. onceronotatum, H. rembaiensis, H. touhoensis, H. trachyacanthatum and H. triacanthatum. Lack of sympatry in relation to tentative clades is suggested. Related fossil genera are mentioned and dispersal via oceanic drift briefly discussed. Aspects of subfamily morphology are reviewed and compared with Cryptostemma Herrich-Schaeffer (Dipsocoridae). Sympatry of Hypselosoma Reuter and Pateena Hill in Tasmania is reported.
Gastric nematodes from the Plains Goanna, Varanus spenceri (Reptilia: Varanidae), from central Queensland
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Jones Hugh
Published: January 2025

Three species of nematode, Abbreviata hastaspicula, A. tumidocapitis and Hastospiculum sp. were recovered from Varanus spenceri. The two species of Abbreviata occur commonly in related varanid species which inhabit the dry hot interior of Australia. Despite differences in habitat and behavioral ecology between V. spenceri and other large sympatric species of Varanus, the wide range of prey taken by large species of Varanus lizards precludes inferring the arthropod intermediate hosts of these nematodes.
Morphological data show that Hyla dayi Günther, 1897 (Amphibia: Anura: Hylidae) should never have been assigned to Nyctimystes
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Kraus Fred
Published: January 2025

The treefrog described as Hyla dayi Gunther and now known as Litoria dayi is restricted to the Wet Tropics of northern Queensland and has long been a source of taxonomic confusion. For many years this species was placed in Nyctimystes, but here I show that this frog never met the morphological criteria for assignment to that genus, which has long been defined by the combination of a vertically oriented pupil and the presence of a reticulum of coloured lines on the palpebrum. In particular, this species lacks the diagnostic vertical pupil on the basis of which Nyctimystes was originally erected. This is important because recent molecular studies have used this species and its erroneous generic assignment to provide misleading phylogenetic "tests" purporting to refute the monophyly of Nyctimystes. Recognising that L. dayi was never properly placed within Nyctimystes obviates these claims. Morphological and more recent molecular evidence both support a monophyletic Nyctimystes restricted to the Papuan region. I note an additional cranial character that, upon broader taxonomic investigation, may further support the monophyly of that genus.
Survival of a Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) after the predation of a Cane Toad (Rhinella Marina)
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Ringma Jeremy
Published: January 2025

Australian wildlife is highly susceptible to poisoning from bufotoxins in the tissues of the introduced Cane Toad Rhinella marina (Linnaeus 1758. Formerly Bufo marinus). While the outcomes of predation attempts are well documented in Australian mammals and reptiles, the susceptibility of birds is less well known. In a series of incidental observations, an adult Laughing Kookaburra Dacelo novaeguineae (Hermann 1783) was seen to survive the predation and ingestion of cane toads on two occasions with no ill effects.
A new description and association of a larva with the adult male of Pliocaloca fidesria Shackleton (Insecta: Trichoptera: Calocidae) from eastern Australia
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Shackleton M.E. , Webb J.M.
Published: January 2025

The genus Pliocaloca Neboiss consists of five species, of which the larva of only one, P. kleithria Shackleton, is known. Here we associate the larva of P. fidesria Shackleton. The larva is associated with adult males based on molecular and geographical data. Adult males and larvae were collected from the same location at Saddle Tree Creek, Bunya Mountains National Park (NP), southern Queensland. A 657 base pair (bp) fragment of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase sub unit 1 (COI) was used to verify species association. Two larvae and two adult males successfully yielded COl sequences. Sequences of the larvae and one of the adult males were identical. The other adult male differed from these by only one nucleotide. The larva of P. fidesria can be distinguished from P. kleithria by the presence of 9 setae in setal area 1 of the metanotum, the posterior margin of the pigmentation on the mesonotum being well defined, and the pigmentation of the metanotum being round.

Additional information on Ramphotyphlops aspina Couper, Covacevich & Wilson 1998 (Reptilia: Typhlopidae), a poorly known blind snake from the Mitchell Grass Downs of Queensland
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Vanderduys E.P.
Published: January 2025

Blind snakes (Typhlopidae: Ramphotyphlops) are relatively poorly known compared to most other Australian reptiles. One quarter of Australia's species are known from one specimen or one location only. Ramphotyphlops aspina Couper, Covacevich and Wilson is known from two specimens collected within 22 km of each other in the Mitchell Grass Downs Bioregion of Queensland. A third specimen is discussed here, from a location 470 km from the previous specimens, also within the Mitchell Grass Downs. The collection localities of all R. aspina specimens suggest it may be a Mitchell Grass Downs endemic.
A significant range extension for the Australian wet tropics skink Eulamprus frerei (Reptilia: Squamata: Scincidae)
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Zozaya Stephen , Scheffers Brett , Hoskin Conrad , Macdonald Stewart , Williams Stephen
Published: January 2025

The known range of Eulamprus frerei is extended approximately 110 km north-northwest to Mt Lewis (16.510°S, 145.269°E) on the Mt Carbine Tableland, North Queensland. This record is from 200 m lower than the reported minimum elevation for the species. Despite extensive surveys throughout the Australian Wet Tropics, this is the first record for E. frerei outside the Bellenden Ker Range. Additional details are given for a previously reported record from Mt Bellenden Ker.
A new record of Dardanus australis Forest & Morgan, 1991 (Crustacea: Anomura: Diogenidae) from off northern New South Wales, eastern Australia
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Davie Peter , Miller Marcus
Published: January 2025

Dardanus australis Forest & Morgan, 1991, is reported from off Nambucca Heads, New South Wales, markedly increasing its known distribution in Australian waters. It was captured in a deep water lobster trap at 137 m. It is diagnosed and refigured, and notes on variation in colour and morphology are given. It is characterised by its pattern of spination, subequal chelipeds, proportions of the ocular peduncles, colour pattern, and its large size (to at least 36.5 mm shield length).
The distribution, ecology and conservation status of Euastacus urospinosus Riek, 1956 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Parastacidae), a dwarf freshwater crayfish from the Mary and Brisbane River drainages, south-eastern Queensland
Authors:   Queensland Museum, McCormack Robert , Van Der Werf Paul
Published: January 2025

The Maleny Crayfish Euastacus urospinosus has previously only been recorded from Booloumba and Obi Obi Creeks, Mary River, Queensland. Recent biological surveys of the region have extended its known distribution to include rainforested streams draining both sides of the Conondale Range into the Mary and Brisbane Rivers. In the Brisbane River drainage E. urospinosus was found from 415 to 613 m elevation at 15 sites in 5 creek systems, and was abundant at each site. New observations on burrowing and ecological preferences are presented. E. urospinosus appears to be dependant on the presence of bangalow palm trees (Archontophoenix cunninghamiana). The newly extended distribution, along with an assessment of current threats, suggests that the current IUCN listing of 'Endangered' could potentially be downgraded to 'near threatened', but only after a genetic analysis to assess the possible isolation of populations between catchments.

Species of the Indo-West Pacific shrimp genus Periclimenaeus Borradaile, 1915, can be preliminarily identified using the morphology of the dactylus of the third ambulatory pereiopods. The dactyli of the 60 currently recognised species are illustrated, and are placed into seven discrete groupings. Data is provided on major morphological reports, hosts, type material and general distribution.
Revision of the genus Ocypode with the description of a new genus, Hoplocypode (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura)
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Sakai Katsushi , Türkay Michael
Published: January 2025

A taxonomic revision of Ocypode Weber, 1795, has resulted in the recognition of a new genus, Hoplocypode containing a single species H. occidentalis (Stimpson, 1860) that is endemic to the East Pacific. Ocypode is now recognised to contain 21 valid species. Of these, one eastern Pacific, one western Atlantic, and two eastern Atlantic species tend to have widespread distributions within their respective regions. Conversely, many of the 17 Indo-Pacific species exhibit relatively restricted ranges. Only three of them, O. cordimanus, O. ceratophthalma and O. pallidula are widespread. Morphological features and their importance in identification are discussed, and a key to all species is provided.

Published: January 2025

Lin28, a conserved RNA-binding protein, promotes cancer stem cell features, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and treatment resistance. Lin28 regulates mRNA translation, RNA stability, and transcription, which improve tumor plasticity and treatment resistance, in addition to suppressing let-7 microRNA production. Lin28 is an interesting cancer target due to its many functions; however, its structural complexity makes treatment development difficult. Lin28's proven and new non-canonical activities in cancer biology are examined in this work, focusing on cancer stem cell maintenance, metastasis, and treatment resistance. We highlight computational drug discovery advances targeting Lin28 utilizing virtual screening and machine learning. Generative artificial intelligence has made it easier to develop inhibitors for challenging targets like Lin28. This work integrates current knowledge and technology to demonstrate Lin28's therapeutic potential and outline future techniques to overcome RNA-binding protein targeting challenges.

Gyapotgenotípusok termeléstechnológiai tesztelését végezték el 2024-ben a MATE Karcagi Kutatóintézetben. Az utolsónak kiadott, 1951-es, minisztériumi agrotechnikai útmutatót hasonlították össze az aktuális termesztési lehetőségekkel. A laboreredmények alátámasztották, hogy a gyapottermesztés melléktermékének tartott magtermés kimagasló nyersfehérje tartalmú. Az irodalmak alapján a gyapotmaggal kiegészített kukorica szilázs etetése igazoltan kevesebb kiürülő rostot eredményez a tejelő tehenek takarmányozása során. Az extrahált gyapotmag 43% nyersfehérjét tartalmaz, ezért megfontolásra érdemes szója-helyettesítő lehet. Aminosav összetétele alapján elsősorban kérődzők számára lehet receptúra alkotó. Tapasztalataik alapján, a korai érésű, alacsonyabb szármagasságú genotípusokat célszerű hazai viszonyok között termesztésbe vonni.

Published: January 2025

The broiler industry supplies quality protein, which is in constant development. It seeks productive strategies that improve production, health, growth, and survival and reduce the poultry industry's diseases, stress, and long-term environmental impact. Broiler chickens are exposed to numerous microorganisms that alter production, and this is an opportunity for yeasts to promote the growth of organisms, stimulate the immune system, improve health, promote changes in intestinal structure, and inhibit pathogens. This review summarizes the current knowledge and effect of active yeast species on raising chickens, nutrition, immunity, digestibility, changes in intestinal structure, and pathogens on those organisms. Due to their nutritional value, active yeasts are used as natural and alternative ingredients in broiler chickens. They are a source of b-glucans, chitin, nucleic acids, mannan-oligosaccharides, b-carotene, and vitamins. Enzymes they produce improve intestinal maturity and digestion. The immune and antioxidant properties of yeasts play an essential role as probiotics and immunostimulants to enhance the resistance of broilers against common viral and bacterial diseases. Bioactive products generated by active yeasts can improve intestinal microbiota and positively alter the immune response, phagocytosis, encapsulation, etc. Different active yeast species and strains have been used and have generated exciting results. They are popular as beneficial candidates for nutrition by maintaining broiler chickens’ health's and well-being conditions. Future studies must understand the functioning and effect of species and strains on broiler chickens in their different processes, the use of new research tools (proteomics, radioisotopes, real-time molecular biology, etc.) can facilitate these studies.

Aim To investigate immigrant women's experiences of childbirth in Swedish maternity care.
Methods A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science for qualitative and quantitative literature on immigrant women's experiences with Swedish maternity care. An inductive thematic analysis generated themes and subthemes.
Results Sixteen studies were included in this research. The three main themes were access to healthcare, professional treatment, and feeling significant in care. Key findings revealed that immigrant women struggled with trauma, difficult interactions with midwives, communication issues, interpreter problems, lack of detailed information, the role of doulas, and future concerns.
Conclusion Immigrant women's experiences of Swedish maternity care were marked by information gaps, ignorance, and disrespect, leading to mistrust and delayed help-seeking. Language barriers with midwives caused misunderstandings. A sense of belonging to Swedish society was crucial for a positive experience. More qualitative research, education in transcultural care, and training in interpreter use are needed to improve maternity care for foreign women.

Aim To assess the prevalence and risk factors associated with obstetric violence during childbirth among Jordanian women. 
Methods A descriptive cross-sectional design was adopted. Recruitment occurred in public maternity and children’s health centres in the Irbid Directorate in Jordan. Five hundred and fifteen women were enrolled in the study as a convenient sample. An online questionnaire comprised socio-demographic, obstetric and clinical variables and obstetric violence measurement. 
Results The prevalence of physical, verbal, and psycho-affective violence was reported in 390 (75.7%), 154 (29.9%), and 191 (37.1%) cases, respectively. Mode of delivery, using induction, and complicated delivery were significantly associated with physical violence (p<0.05). Place of last delivery (OR= 0.51 95% CI: 0.3-0.86), complicated delivery, and primary healthcare provider were associated with exposure to verbal violence (p<0.05). Psycho-affective violence was significantly associated with the mode of delivery, complicated delivery, and primary healthcare providers (p< 0.05). 
Conclusion The findings of this study, which showed a high prevalence of physical, verbal, and psycho-affective violence, underscore the urgent need to create possible solutions that guarantee the global goal of respectful maternal treatment. These findings are significant as they highlight the prevalence of obstetric violence among Jordanian women and the associated risk factors, thereby contributing to the growing body of research on this critical issue.

Published: January 2025

Aim Lung ultrasound (LUS) can be used for an assessment of volume overload in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and those undergoing dialysis. The aim of this study was to analyse whether the initial use of LUS in evaluating volume status could benefit patients by optimizing haemodialysis treatment and improving their clinical status.
Methods The study included 50 haemodialysis patients in stage V of ESKD with the diagnosis of ischaemic heart failure with reduced (HFrEF) or midrange ejection fraction (HFmrEF). The assessment of volume status was verified solely by LUS (along with the analysis of B lines as measures of volume status). The specified laboratory parameters were performed initially, after three, and after six months.
Results The number of B-lines on LUS were decreased during the six-month follow-up compared to baseline, indicating a reduction in volume overload due to the LUS-guided protocol. Statistically significant differences were observed in the average creatinine (p=0.001) and parathormone (PTH) (p=0.003) levels over the six-month monitoring period. Significant differences were also noted in triglyceride (p=0.000) and potassium (p=0.02) levels. No significant differences were found in the values of other monitored parameters. 
Conclusion In haemodialysis patients diagnosed with heart failure, LUS can aid the achievement of a more efficient volume reduction by decreasing B-lines, which are indicative of congestion. Our study also demonstrated beneficial effects of LUS on potassium and parathormone levels.
