“In truth, I was really a pioneer”: Female Entrepreneurship and Selfhood Formation in Bethlehem's Diasporic Merchant Community, 1900–1940
Authors: Priestley Eibhlin
Published: January 2025

This article explores girlhood, marriage, and female entrepreneurship in Bethlehem’s diasporic merchant families in the early twentieth century, focusing on the lives of two women whose transition from girlhood to womanhood overlapped with their diasporic experiences in the Americas. Focusing on oral history interviews with Katrina Sa’ade and the memoir of Victoria Kattán de Hirmas, this study examines the outward expansion of Bethlehem’s merchant middle-class from the perspective of women whose lives were indelibly shaped by these ventures. This piece argues that transnational migration and marriage equipped women with essential skills for commercial success and highlights their self-perception as pioneers who forged new paths in the mahjar. Flexible roles for women in Bethlehem’s merchant community, underpinned by Ottoman cultural transformations and the innovative and outward-looking values which underpinned the community’s bold business enterprises, also played a significant role in fostering female entrepreneurship. By tracing the journeys and entrepreneurial endeavors of Katrina and Victoria, the study underscores the transformative impact of migration on understandings of womanhood, work, and identity within diasporic communities, and emphasizes the agency and resilience of women who redefined possibilities for Palestinian women in the diaspora.
Same side recurrent pneumonia should be suspected as pulmonary sequestration a case report
Authors: Almahafdha Aalaa , Aljefairi Maryam , Alnasser Mustafa
Published: January 2025

Background: Pulmonary sequestration may be intralobar or extralobar. Intralobar pulmonary sequestration occurs most often in the left lower lobe, and symptoms first occur around the age of 20. By contrast, extralobar pulmonary sequestration is restricted to the lower lobes and presents from the neonatal period. Diagnosis is suggested by chest X-ray and confirmed by computed tomography angiography. Treatment comprises vessel ligation and resection to prevent repeated chest infections and complications. 
Case Presentation: We describe an 18-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with a history of repeated chest infection in the left lower lobe over the last two years. She was found to have intralobar pulmonary sequestration, which was managed by left lower lobectomy.
Conclusion: Pulmonary sequestration is a rare condition but should be suspected in
patients with repeated pneumonia in the same lung in early adulthood.
First Divorce Rate, 2023
Authors: Bankey Natalie
Published: January 2025

The refined divorce rate in the U.S. has been declining since 2008 (Buck et al., 2024). This divorce rate includes divorces from first marriages as well as remarriages. This profile aims to focus on only those who are divorcing from a first marriage, as remarriages tend to be less stable (Bumpass & Raley, 2007). This Family Profile examines sociodemographic variation in the first divorce rate among males and females aged 18 and older using 2023 U.S. Census data from the American Community Survey and is an update to previous profiles on the first divorce rate (FP-23-18, FP-21-10, FP-20-02, FP-18-15, FP-16-19, FP-14-09, FP-11-09, and FP-10-06).

La divagación: el método narrativo en el cine de Ignacio Agüero
Authors: Araya Dávila Francisco
Published: January 2025

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la estrategia de divagación como principal metodología creativa en dos películas de Ignacio Agüero, Como me da la gana II y Nunca subí el Provincia, para así evidenciar por qué la evolución creativa de este cineasta ha generado impacto en el cine latinoamericano contemporáneo. La hipótesis se sostiene en el estudio comparado de las películas seleccionadas, posteriores al año 2010, con un énfasis especial en sus narrativas, procesos creativos y recursos estéticos para afirmar que la metodología principal de este autor es la divagación o, en otras palabras, la coherencia entre las tramas de una película a partir del montaje. El marco teórico utilizado proviene de estudios culturales y cinematográficos que desarrollan el pensamiento situado, la dimensión personal y práctica autorreflexiva, ideas que permitieron una identificación de las estrategias y recursos que reflejan la divagación cinematográfica de Ignacio Agüero. En términos metodológicos, este análisis se centra en los mecanismos técnico-estéticos en relación con elementos propios de la producción y la circulación de las obras. En este sentido, las películas son comprendidas como testimonios subjetivos que instalan interrogantes en torno al cine y a los fenómenos socio-políticos de un territorio y su historia reciente.

Surgical exploration is recommended regardless of gestational age. We present the case of a 33-year-old woman in her first trimester who presented with acute abdominal pain. Ultrasound revealed a left ovarian cyst with torsion. She was immediately taken for an emergency laparotomy, during which a left salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. Her postoperative recovery was uneventful.
Computer simulation of an isotomic mapping for a given triangle
Authors: Sovertkov P.I.
Published: January 2025

The isotomic mapping is defined constructively, i. e. after constructing the intersection point of one triple of segments and constructing the intersection point of a new triple of segments, an isotomically corresponding point appears. The article considers mathematical and computer modeling of an isotomic mapping in two ways: using Cartesian coordinates and using barycentric coordinates. The analytical definition of the mapping law allows you to quickly construct the corresponding pair of points and find the image of the line with an isotomic match.

PPh3/Isocyanide and N2/Isocyanide Exchange: Pathways to Isolable Alkali Metal Keteniminyl Anions
Authors: Mondal Sunita , Zhang Yihao , Feichtner Kai-Stephan , Das Arpan , Zhao Lili , Frenking Gernot , Gessner Viktoria H.
Published: January 2025

Keteniminyl anions hold significant promise for advancing ketenimine chemistry, yet their isolation has remained elusive until now. Drawing inspiration from recent advances in ligand exchange reactions at carbon, we report the successful synthesis of isolable keteniminyl anions through the substitution of the phosphine ligand in a metalated ylide and the N₂ ligand in a diazomethanide with isocyanides. The resulting keteniminyl anions exhibit bent geometries, which can be attributed to a dative interaction with the isocyanide, giving rise to a carbone-like structure. Electron-withdrawing substituents on the nitrogen enhance backbonding, leading to larger bending angles. The keteniminyl anions react efficiently with unsaturated compounds to form a diverse array of heterocycles, highlighting their potential as versatile building blocks in synthetic chemistry.
Unraveling the Hidden Pathway of Catalyst‐Free Direct Photochemical Conversion of Sulfides to Sulfoxides: A Universal Pathway Under UVA Radiation

Published: January 2025

Selective conversion of sulfides to sulfoxides is an important class of chemical transformation having tremendous importance in medicinal chemistry. However, the primary process associated with the photoexcitation during the direct photochemical conversion of sulfides to sulfoxides is poorly understood and misrepresented in the literature. Herein, we discover a hidden pathway responsible for the efficient and selective conversion of sulfides to sulfoxides in the absence of any photocatalysts (PCs) or photosensitizers (PSs) under UVA illumination (λex = 370 nm). We show that this hidden pathway directly generates singlet oxygen (a1Δg,1O2) via solvent‐oxygen (X3Σg–,3O2) charge transfer (CT) excitation under ambient conditions without the need of any additional PCs or PSs. Our experimental and computational findings reveal that the 1O2 generated via CT excitation efficiently and selectively oxidizes sulfides to sulfoxides via the generation of persulfoxide intermediates with an excellent yields, fast kinetics, and broad substrate scope. In addition, we found that the presence of marginal amount of water favors faster kinetics and prevents overoxidation to sulfones due to the stabilization of the sulfoxide products via specific hydrogen‐bonding interactions. Finally, we demonstrate that the present hidden pathway is equally efficient and operational for other classes of photoredox reactions under UVA illumination; and thus, making this pathway a universal route for efficient and sustainable photoredox conversions under ambient conditions.

Published: January 2025

High-throughput experimentation has transformed the exploration of many catalytic processes, from a mechanistic and timeline point of view. However, some specific reactions remain impossible to transpose in HTE, mostly because of missing dedicated devices. With the development of photoinduced reactions involving gases as reactants, it is of importance to access HTE for such set-ups. We describe here the design and manufacture of a specific device for miniaturization and parallelization of photoinduced reactions under pressure of specific gas atmosphere.

Wind turbines are installed in remote locations and are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, which have a particularly strong impact on their rotor blades. Therefore, it is of great interest to acquire local measurement data to determine the present state of the wind turbine to enable safe and efficient operation.
For this purpose, we present an energy-autonomous, ultra-thin wireless sensor node. The sensor node consists
of a planar capacitive sensor for ice layer detection and MEMS accelerometers for modal analysis in regular intervals and continuous peak load detection. The energy-autonomous operation is obtained with a thin-film solar cell designed for low illumination, a constant voltage charging circuitry and a bendable Li-ion rechargeable battery with a height of 450 μm as energy storage. The operational components of the sensor node are evaluated independently, and the wireless sensor node is demonstrated on a small-scale wind turbine blade with a length of 1.07 m.

Выделение в кристаллических структурах плотных атомных сеток широко используется в описательной и сравнительной кристаллохимии, а также при исследовании политипов. Для автоматизированного поиска таких сеток с 1980-х гг. развивались алгоритмы на основе Фурье-анализа расположения атомов в элементарной ячейке, имеющие, однако, ряд ограничений. В данной работе в качестве альтернативы и дополнения Фурье-подходам предлагается алгоритм, работающий на основе кластерного анализа в прямом пространстве, а также рассматривается его реализация в модуле nets Python-библиотеки открытого доступа crystchemlib.
Attractiveness of Nizhny Novgorod for the professional self-realization of the youth (based on the sociological research)
Authors: Shmeleva N. V. , Pavlikov A. А. , Abramychev M. M.
Published: January 2025

In this article we consider the value significance of the megacity for professional and creative self-realisation of student youth. Our analysis is based on the results of a sociological study on the topic ‘Professional self-determination of student youth of Nizhny Novgorod’, conducted in September-October 2024 among students of leading universities of Nizhny Novgorod. In the course of the study we identified the value orientations of modern youth, outlined the prospects of their further professional self-realisation, analysed the students' views on the desired characteristics of the region of residence after education, as well as highlighted the advantages and disadvantages of Nizhny Novgorod. Our research has shown that for the majority of respondents Nizhny Novgorod is the city where they see opportunities for their creative and professional growth. It is indicative that the image of Nizhny Novgorod in the students' assessments looks very comfortable for living, and the educational programmes presented in the universities of the city attract young people from other regions. The study results in the conclusion that there is a correlation between the value criteria and the living conditions of a modern megacity. This correlation, on the one hand, is reflected in the status of ‘attractiveness’ or ‘unattractiveness’ of the megacity, on the other hand, should be used for smooth integration of young people into the paradigm of traditional spiritual and moral guidelines of the country.
Discussions on the affiliation of the religious beliefs of the Khazars and Karaites to Judaism in the works of religious scholars and Jewish theologians
Authors: Gorin A. A.
Published: January 2025

The author in the article raises the issue of changing the confessional attitude towards the alleged ethnic religion of the Khazars and the dogma of the ethnic religion of the Karaites. The author pays special attention to the regularities of the emergence and development of the tendency to identify these creeds with Judaism, despite significant dogmatic differences and differences in rituals. Considering the use of historical sources by Jewish ideologists and scientists to substantiate the theory of belonging of Karaism and the Khazar religion to Judaism, the author analyzes the arguments from the point of view of both the principle of historicism and the comparative theological method, identifying both substantiated evidence and elements of falsification. Based on the research, the author concludes that the theory of the identity of the Khazar religion and Karaism with Judaism is political, not theological.

Abstract
The European Commission mandated EFSA to assess the toxicity of bromide, the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs), and possible transfer from feed into food of animal origin. The critical effects of bromide in experimental animals are on the thyroid and central nervous system. Changes in thyroid hormone homeostasis could result in neurodevelopmental toxicity, among other adverse effects. Changes in thyroid hormone concentrations and neurophysiological parameters have also been observed in experimental human studies, but the evidence was limited. Dose–response modelling of decreased blood thyroxine concentrations in rats resulted in a reference point of 40 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day. The Scientific Committee established a tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 0.4 mg/kg bw per day and an acute reference dose (ARfD) of 0.4 mg/kg bw per day to protect against adverse neurodevelopmental effects. The TDI value is supported by the results of experimental human studies with a NOAEL of 4 mg/kg bw per day and 10‐fold interindividual variability. The TDI and ARfD are considered as conservative with 90% certainty. Insufficient evidence related to the toxicological effects of bromide was available for animals, with the exception of dogs. Therefore, the reference point of 40 mg/kg bw per day was extrapolated to maximum safe concentrations of bromide in complete feed for other animal species. Bromide can transfer from feed to food of animal origin, but, from the limited data, it was not possible to quantify the transfer rate. Monitoring data exceeded the current MRLs for some food commodities, generally with a low frequency. A conservative safety screening of the MRLs indicated that the TDI and ARfD are exceeded for some EU diets. Dietary exposure assessment for animals was not feasible due to insufficient data. The Scientific Committee recommends data be generated to allow robust dietary exposure assessments in the future, and data that support the risk assessment.
A Study on Antiarthritics activity of Cymbidium Species
Authors: Chaudhary Malay , Sarkar Ashish
Published: January 2025

Inflammation and discomfort in the joints are symptoms of arthritis, a crippling disease that impacts millions of people throughout the globe. The quest for alternative remedies is driven by the fact that conventional medications often have negative effects. Cymbidium species are orchids that have a long history of usage in ethnomedicine, and this research seeks to learn more about their anti-arthritic properties. The major objective of this study is to investigate the possibility of extracts from Cymbidium species as natural treatments for arthritis by assessing their anti-arthritic efficacy in in vitro and in vivo investigations. Researchers used solvents of different polarity to extract bioactive chemicals from different parts of several Cymbidium species' plants, including their leaves, stems, and roots. A preliminary phytochemical screening was performed on the extracts to detect the presence of anti-inflammatory chemicals such as tannins, saponins, flavonoids, and others. The anti-arthritic efficacy was evaluated in vitro via the use of protein denaturation and membrane stabilization tests. Using Freund's complete adjuvant, an arthritis model was established in Wistar rats for the in vivo experiments. Arthritis symptoms were assessed by assessing paw edema, joint diameter, and histological alterations in response to Cymbidium extracts. The extracts from Cymbidium included many bioactive chemicals, as shown by phytochemical investigation. Protein denaturation and red blood cell membrane stability were both markedly inhibited in in vitro tests, suggesting strong anti-inflammatory action. Treatment significantly reduced paw edema and joint swelling in rats as compared to the control group, according to in vivo investigations. The anti-joint properties of Cymbidium extracts were further validated by histopathological analysis. Based on the results of this research, it seems that some species of Cymbidium have bioactive chemicals that work together to alleviate arthritis. Based on these findings, Cymbidium extracts may be useful as an alternative to conventional arthritic treatments. Completely determining their safety and effectiveness in people requires more study including clinical trials.

Pharmacological Profiling of Substituted Benzothiazoles: Insights into Structure-Activity Relationships
Authors: Sagar Vidya , Sarkar Ashish
Published: January 2025

A series of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives incorporating benzothiazole moieties were synthesized and characterized for their structural and spectroscopic properties. The compounds, designated as 6a–6f, were prepared by coupling benzothiazole derivatives with various substituted phenyl groups through thiomethyl linkages on the oxadiazole ring. Structural confirmation was achieved using FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The synthesized compounds exhibited distinct spectral characteristics, including aromatic C–H stretching (3045–3061 cm⁻¹), C=N stretching (1615–1619 cm⁻¹), and functional group-specific absorptions such as nitro (1548 cm⁻¹) and methoxy (–OCH₃) stretches (1246–1038 cm⁻¹). Elemental analyses showed good agreement between calculated and observed values, confirming the molecular compositions. The synthesized compounds present potential applications in pharmaceutical and materials science domains, with their unique structural framework offering scope for further exploration in biological and electronic applications. This study underscores the efficacy of the synthetic route and provides insights into the physicochemical attributes of benzothiazole-based oxadiazoles.
La dialógica como herramienta compleja en la negociación conflictos
Authors: Rodríguez Cadena Rodolfo
Published: January 2025

Este artículo presenta un estudio exploratorio desde el enfoque de la complejidad, que analiza la dialógica en la negociación de conflictos. Se integran en este análisis diversas teorías de autores como Habermas, Freire, Kövecses, Lakoff, Johnson, Damasio y Morin, proponiendo un diálogo de saberes interdisciplinario. El objetivo del estudio es examinar el diálogo como herramienta clave en la resolución de conflictos, enfatizando su rol en la construcción de entendimiento mutuo y cooperación. Los hallazgos sugieren que la dialógica en la negociación de conflictos trasciende los enfoques tradicionales al ofrecer un marco integral donde el diálogo no solo aborda el conflicto inmediato, sino que facilita una transformación en los actores, las estructuras de poder y las dinámicas emocionales. Este proceso genera soluciones sostenibles basadas en el respeto, la interdependencia y la co-construcción del conocimiento, promoviendo una transformación profunda en las relaciones conflictivas.
Factores Psicológicos y Sociales Necesarios para Desarrollar un Programa de Justicia Restaurativa en Santa Marta según opiniones de los funcionarios
Authors: Rodríguez-Viviel Sandra Leonor , Tapias Saldaña Angela Cristina , Gonzalez Varela Aura Consuelo
Published: January 2025

Esta investigación identifica los factores psicosociales y actores claves requeridos para desarrollar un programa de Justicia Restaurativa que acompañe a víctimas y ofensores vinculados por el delito en Santa Marta. Esto en razón a las políticas mundiales que promueven el modelo de Justicia Restaurativa como una alternativa humanizada que disminuye la reincidencia y favorece el cambio psicosocial en los involucrados, por lo cual se considera que puede ser aporte para la convivencia en paz en Santa Marta.
Este modelo alternativo de justicia y de solución de conflictos humanos, es compatible con la justicia retributiva tradicional, beneficia en primera instancia a las víctimas, también a quienes cometieron el crimen y especialmente a la comunidad que los rodea, la cual puede impactarse por el miedo al delito y busca mecanismos que promuevan la pacificación.
Se usó metodología mixta, para identificar los factores que posibiliten generar un programa local de justicia juvenil restaurativa. Como resultado se identificó el interés y la disposición de todos los funcionarios estatales, quienes se han aproximado a prácticas restaurativas con capacitación, sin embargo, confirman que aún no es consuetudinario realizar encuentros restaurativos víctima-ofensor, no cuentan con instalaciones para realizarlo, aunque reportan estar en disposición para favorecer procesos de justicia restaurativa, consideran que se requiere entes externos que regenten el programa y dispongan de especialistas, instalaciones y tiempo para desarrollarlos. Se perciben algunas confusiones entre justicia restaurativa, conciliación y prácticas informales sin víctimas, las cuales pueden obstaculizar la ejecución de programas idóneos.

FOLKLORE, FABLES, AND THE FUSION OF POLITICS, CULTURE, AND CHARACTERS IN VALLI BY SHEELA TOMY
Authors: Varghese Gifty Elza
Published: January 2025

The present-day folkloristic research in India has attracted lots of adhesions mainly through the works of the emergent Indian folklorist. Still, the wider circle of academia remains uninspired by this field. The representative case study is offered by the novel Valli by Sheela Tomy, demonstrating the three-dimensionality of folklore and deep-seated cult nature. The word ‘Valli’ itself carries multiple meanings: climbing plant, earth, young woman, and even a feudal-age measure of paddy issued as wages. The richness of folkloric interpretations is well-supported by this novel, as it presents the Wayanad region's sociopolitical turbulence arising from political rivalries, religious conflicts, linguistic differences, and indigenous traditions. Through the story of strong-willed characters that fight to preserve their heritage, Valli showcases the continued importance of folklore in studying and preserving Wayanad culture. This paper aims to examine the folkloric components within Valli and analyze the role they play in preserving the regional cultural identity.
GEO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF INDO-PACIFIC ECONOMIC FRAMEWORK (IPEF) STRATEGIES: A STUDY OF SINO-RUSSIAN COOPERATION
Authors: Kaur Arpit , Singh Urvashi
Published: January 2025

The study explores the geo-economic dimensions of the Indo-Pacific Economic Cooperation (IPEF) strategies, with a focus on Sino-Russian Cooperation. The IPEF, led by the United States, aims to establish a rules-based economic order in the Indo-Pacific, countering the influence of China and Russia. Through a geopolitical lens, this article analyses how China and Russia leverage economic tools, such as trade, investment and strategic partnerships, to challenge the IPEF and advance their regional interests. It examines the interplay between economic statecraft and geopolitical objectives, highlighting the strategies employed by both nations to project power and secure influence in the Indo-Pacific. The study reveals that Sino-Russian cooperation not only seeks to undermine the U.S. economic initiatives but also promotes an alternative regional order that aligns with their strategic goals.

A coinfecção leishmania-HIV é a união das infecções causadas pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana-HIV e pelo protozoário leishmania, ambas atacam o sistema de defesa do organismo e se não tratadas levam à morte. A coinfecção de leishmaniose visceral-HIV é um sério problema de saúde pública em quase todo o mundo visto que as duas infecções podem progredir rapidamente devido compartilharem mecanismos imunológicos semelhantes. O presente trabalho justifica-se pela importância acadêmica e relevância social, visto que a coinfecção leishmaniose-HIV afeta milhares de pessoas no mundo, inclusive no Tocantins, perpassando a problemática pela família e saúde pública. O estudo tem por objetivo apresentar perfil epidemiológico da coinfecção leishmaniose visceral/HIV no Tocantins no recorte temporal de dez anos. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura de cunho qualiquantitativo. Os dados secundários foram extraídos do Sinan – Sistema de Informação de Notificação de Agravos do Ministério da Saúde do período de 2014 a 2024. Foram utilizadas buscas de artigos, teses, livros nos principais bancos de dados da Scielo, Pubmed, Lilacs e Google Acadêmico, por meio dos descritores: epidemiologia, coinfecção, HIV e leishmanioses.
