Les Maccabées, modèles des guerriers chrétiens des origines au xiie siècle
Authors: Gouguenheim Sylvain
Published: February 2025

Cet article veut montrer combien l’usage des deux Livres des Maccabées et de la figure de leurs héros fut répandu dans le christianisme latin, des premiers siècles de notre ère à l’époque des croisades. Cet héritage, cette filiation ont été rendus possibles par la longue tradition qui s’empara des Maccabées. L’Église tardo-antique y voyait une anticipation des croyances chrétiennes. Modèles à imiter, les Maccabées devinrent le prototype des martyrs chrétiens, puis l’incarnation de l’idéal du combattant de la foi, du miles Christi qui, par la prédication ou la guerre réelle, se battait au service du Christ. Persécutés pour leur foi, les Maccabées ont mérité, selon saint Bernard, d’accéder aux cieux. Dès le xe siècle, des chroniqueurs tracèrent le parallèle entre les luttes menées par les Maccabées et celles des troupes ottoniennes aux prises avec les Hongrois, faisant de leur exemple un encouragement à combattre même en nette infériorité numérique. Ainsi le martyr n’était plus uniquement une victime passive : un guerrier pouvait mériter cette appellation. La lecture des chroniqueurs de la première croisade et l’examen de sources iconographiques concordent : en se battant en Terre sainte, dans les lieux mêmes où s’étaient déroulées les guerres des Maccabées, les Croisés se sentaient aidés par eux, revivant leur épopée tout en la parachevant. Avec l’aide de Dieu, dépêchant à leur secours des armées célestes, les membres des ordres militaires, « Nouveaux Maccabées », répliquaient l’aventure biblique et la menaient à son terme, accomplissant ainsi l’Histoire du salut.
Le tympan roman de « la prophétie d’Apollon » (Liège, musée Grand Curtius). Antiquité et christianisme
Authors: Tassignon Isabelle , Van Den Bossche Benoît
Published: February 2025

Le tympan roman de la « prophétie d’Apollon » (musée Grand Curtius, Liège, Belgique) doit son nom à l’une de ses inscriptions, MYSTICUM APOLLINIS. Cette œuvre relève de la production rhéno-mosane du dernier quart du xiie siècle. Trois personnifications en relief, identifiées par leurs noms comme étant Labor, Honor et Sollicitudo, forment une scène. Plusieurs inscriptions la commentent. Ces trois personnifications évoquent les fondamentaux du stoïcisme antique dans une composition qui prône le renoncement aux honneurs. Les autres inscriptions sont riches en références littéraires tirées tantôt de la Bible, tantôt des auteurs antiques – Virgile, Horace et Ovide. Quant à l’inscription éponyme, elle commente probablement une scène placée sous elle, aujourd’hui disparue. Apollon est ici le dieu oraculaire de l’Antiquité à qui les Pères de l’Église font annoncer la chute des dieux païens et le triomphe du christianisme. Mysticum signifierait alors « prophétie » : c’est donc un Apollon « prophète chrétien » qui serait ici évoqué. Par les messages qu’il délivre – la morale du renoncement et l’annonce du triomphe du Christ –, et la manière dont il le fait, le tympan liégeois témoigne de la volonté d’intégration de la tradition antique au christianisme.
Les coutumes de Lorris. Notes complémentaires sur leur contexte politique, leur date et leur contenu avec leur texte latin et sa traduction
Authors: Magnou-Nortier Élisabeth
Published: February 2025

Alors que se profile la commémoration du neuvième centenaire de l’octroi des « coutumes » de Lorris, le présent article se propose de remettre en perspective les apports précieux des études menées à son sujet par Maurice Prou en 1884 et Augustin Fliche en 1912 au regard des renouvellements historiographiques des dernières décennies. La relecture des sources et du contexte politique permet de mieux saisir les circonstances dans lesquelles le roi Louis VI accorda par cette charte de nouvelles « libertés » aux habitants de ce village du Gâtinais. Dans le même temps, elle suggère une mise au point sur la nature des « privilèges et franchises » accordés et réévalue les différentes instances qui assumaient les responsabilités administratives et fiscales au niveau local, tout en apportant le faible éclairage que les sources laissent entrevoir sur le cadre de vie des villageois. En complément de l’étude, le texte latin original de la charte et une nouvelle traduction sont publiés en annexe.
Fulgence de Ruspe, l’aristocratie romano-africaine et le pouvoir vandale sous les règnes de Gunthamund et de Thrasamund : collaboration ou résistance ?
Authors: Pottier Bruno
Published: February 2025

Deux modalités de résistance nicéenne face à l’arianisme défendu par les rois vandales à la fin du ve siècle et au début du vie siècle peuvent être discernées à travers la biographie hagiographique de l’évêque Fulgence de Ruspe, la création de monastères pour compenser la persécution du clergé catholique et la pratique de la polémique religieuse. Certains notables nicéens africains ont compensé leurs compromissions avec l’administration vandale arienne par la fuite du monde ou par le financement de monastères et la création de liens avec des moines charismatiques comme Fulgence. Les rois vandales n’ont en effet que rarement inquiété les monastères nicéens en concédant cet espace de liberté à une Église par ailleurs persécutée. Le débat que Thrasamund a organisé entre 517 et 519 à Carthage avec Fulgence, rappelé d’exil pour l’occasion, a marqué la volonté de ce roi de créer un nouveau modèle d’excellence pour les élites africaines et les membres de la cour vandale. Il supposait tant la maîtrise de la culture classique, notamment par la création poétique, que des compétences théologiques. Des lettres de Fulgence montrent le succès de cette politique qui a conduit à l’intégration de la théologie dans l’otium littéraire, notamment lors de banquets. Ceci permet de nuancer l’idée d’un très large ralliement des élites africaines à un secular space religieusement neutre, promu par les rois vandales, qui est souvent inféré à partir de l’étude des seuls poèmes de l’Anthologie latine. Cependant, Fulgence, qui est resté en général loyal envers les rois vandales, apparaît paradoxalement dans ce cadre comme leur allié objectif, puisqu’il a facilité par ses actions l’acceptation de leur régime par les élites nicéennes.
Dracontius et les Vandales : résistance, médiation, échec
Authors: Scafoglio Giampiero
Published: February 2025

Les poèmes de Dracontius dévoilent les différentes attitudes adoptées par un intellectuel afro-romain tentant de dialoguer avec le pouvoir vandale et de proposer un modus uiuendi entre les gouvernants (ariens) et le peuple (catholique). La célébration d’un programme (réel ou souhaité) d’intégration culturelle axé sur l’école de rhétorique et la tradition romaine (Romulea, 1) cède ensuite la place à la plainte et à la dénonciation du despotisme et des abus du pouvoir (Controuersia de statua uiri fortis). Plus tard, pendant sa captivité, le poète adresse au roi vandale une fervente demande de grâce, qui constitue en même temps une ingénieuse proposition politique visant à instaurer une coexistence pacifique entre ariens et catholiques (Satisfactio). Enfin, l’échec pitoyable de cette tentative l’incite à adopter une position intransigeante, qui oppose résolument le Symbole de Nicée à l’arianisme (Laudes Dei).

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing education worldwide, demanding a redefinition of digital literacy to prepare students for an AI-dominated era. This chapter explores these dynamics with a focus on Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers, who face unique challenges in bridging advanced AI technologies with culturally grounded pedagogy. Beyond technical skills, digital literacy now requires educators to evaluate AI outputs critically, address ethical considerations such as data privacy and algorithmic bias, and integrate technology in ways that uphold accessibility and equity. In Indonesia, where disparities in digital infrastructure and teacher readiness are prevalent, EFL educators navigate complex decisions about deploying adaptive learning tools and automated assessments while ensuring inclusive and meaningful learning experiences. By combining global perspectives with localized strategies, this chapter presents actionable insights to empower educators to harness AI's potential while maintaining the humanistic essence of teaching.
Antibiotic prescribing in public primary healthcare centres in Maseru, Lesotho
Authors: Letša Mapoloko A. , Burger Johanita R. , Kotzé Irma
Published: February 2025

Background: Inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics is a global problem. We assessed the prescribing patterns of antibiotics in three public primary healthcare centres (PHCCs) in Maseru, Lesotho.Objectives: A cross-sectional point prevalence survey was employed using patients’ prescription booklets from October 2022 to December 2022.Method: Antibiotics were categorised according to the World Health Organization (WHO) AWaRe classification and assessed by Defined Daily Dose (DDD)/100 outpatients/day to measure relative consumption of each antibiotic as a percentage of total consumption, Access-to-Watch index (AW-I) and Amoxicillin Index (A-I).Results: Of the 624 participants (median age 35 [interquartile range {IQR}: 45–26] years), 71.5% (n = 446) were female. Overall mean (standard deviation [s.d.]) antibiotic consumption was 1.48 (0.13) DDD/100 outpatients/day, with PHCC-1 at 1.64, PHCC-2 at 1.33 and PHCC-3 at 1.47 DDD/100 outpatients/day. The median (IQR) AW-I was 4.64 (3.42–9.45) and the A-I was 1.41 (0.87–1.95). The most frequently prescribed Access group antibiotics included amoxicillin (PHCC-2: 45.9%, overall 1.33 DDD/100 outpatients/day; PHCC-3: 24.5%, 1.47 DDD/100 outpatients/day, and PHCC-1: 23.2%, 1.64 DDD/100 outpatients/day) and doxycycline (PHCC-3: 29.9%, 1.47 DDD/100 outpatients/day, 24.1%, PHCC-2: 1.33 DDD/100 outpatients/day). Erythromycin was the most prescribed Watch group antibiotic for all PHCCs.Conclusion: High consumption of Access-group antibiotics was observed. The Watch group’s antibiotic use, particularly erythromycin, requires the implementation of stewardship programmes. Results may be a baseline for establishing antibiotic stewardship in Lesotho’s PHCCs.Contribution: Our study addressed the scarcity of data on antibiotic prescribing patterns in PHCCs in Lesotho using the AWaRe classification system recommended for monitoring antibiotic prescribing and promoting rational use.

Authors: Kakkar Saumya , Tripathi Tulika , Rai Priyank , Veena GV , Singh Deepak
Published: February 2025

Surgical intervention in patients with repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) leads to altered muscular activity and hinders the normal growth of the maxilla. To compare the activity of superior orbicularis oris and masticatory muscles between repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate and non-cleft individuals. A literature search was carried out on MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, Semantic Scholar, and Google Scholar databases upto January 2024 resulting in 1320 studies. Specified inclusion/exclusion criteria guided the selection of five relevant articles. Study selection, assessment of the outcome of articles, and subsequent Risk of Bias (RoB) assessment were done independently by three authors. In case of any disparity, the fourth and fifth authors were consulted. All five studies were observational cross-sectional studies. The majority of the studies reported an altered muscular activity in repaired UCLP patients compared to normal individuals, which may affect the normal growth of the maxilla. Patients with repaired UCLP show an increased muscle activity compared to non-cleft subjects, which may lead to altered masticatory efficiency in such patients.

Authors: Tandan Nisha , Pachaury Shuchita Singh , Kairo Arvind Kumar , Singh Chirom Amit , Mao Pallavi , Kumar Rakesh , Thakar Alok
Published: February 2025

Objective:

Sulcus vocalis is the most difficult clinical entity to treat. This study aims to prospectively intervene and evaluate the efficacy of employing fat implantation for treating cases of sulcus vocalis, using acoustic assessment as the primary evaluation tool.

Materials and Methods:

Thirteen patients diagnosed with sulcus vocalis II/III, who were refractory to over 6 months of speech therapy were enrolled in the study. The surgical intervention involved harvesting fat through a periumbilical incision, followed by its implantation into the vocal fold after creating a submucosal pocket and securing it with tissue glue. The patients were assessed at 1 and 3 months post-surgery.

Results:

The results revealed that subjective improvements were observed in patients with sulcus vocalis using the Voice Handicap Index, with statistically significant improvements at 1 (P = 0.017) and 3 months (P < 0.001), whereas perceptual parameters, such as the grade, roughness, breathiness, asthenia, strain scale, did not show significant effects. Voice analysis demonstrated improvements in maximum phonation time (P = 0.022 at 3 months), S/Z ratio (P = 0.009 at 3 months), jitter (P = 0.012 at 3 months), shimmer (P = 0.050 at 3 months), and noise-to-harmonics ratio (P = 0.016 at 3 months) over time. However, no significant changes were noted in fundamental frequency (f0) and (VAM), loudness range, and pitch range at both time points.

Conclusions:

This study concludes that fat implantation appears to be a promising treatment option for refractory cases of sulcus vocalis. This pilot study demonstrated subjective improvements in some acoustic parameters over time. The limitations of this study, being its small sample size and fat implantation done on a single vocal cord, underscore the need for further research to comprehensively evaluate the safety, efficacy, patient selection criteria, and long-term outcomes of fat implantation for sulcus vocalis.
The impact of remote working on sleep quality in otolaryngology
Authors: Mowat Andrew , Ang Trisha , Sturges Pamela , Jervis Suzanne
Published: February 2025

Background:

Shift work can lead to sleep deprivation and circadian misalignment. Sleep disturbances have implications for patient care, clinician well-being, and overall healthcare performance. In the United Kingdom, otolaryngology operates a non-resident on-call structure at registrar and consultant levels, necessitating availability for remote consultation and potential on-site attendance overnight.

Objectives:

Whilst resident on-call rotas have been shown to have a detrimental effect on sleep quality, the impact of non-resident on calls remains under investigated. This study aims to assess the impact of non-resident on-call structures on sleep quality using smart phone sleep-tracking.

Materials and Methods:

Three consultants and three registrars monitored their sleep quality using the mobile phone application ‘Sleep cycle’ over a ten week on call cycle at a district general hospital. Data was collected prospectively and results analysed anonymously.

Results:

Sleep length was longest during off days (when clinicians had no clinical commitments the following day). The average sleep length for consultants was 7.07 h versus 6.97 h for registrars. There were variations in sleep quality across different work and on-call scenarios. For consultants, the highest average sleep quality was during on-call hours (80.00%). Sleep quality was lowest when a consultant was called for advice after 22:00h (54.00%), however, this increased to 73.00% when a consultant was required on site after 22:00 h. For registrars, average sleep quality was highest during off days at 83.00%. When registrars were contacted for advice overnight, average sleep quality was 68.67% and was lowest when registrars were called on-site after 22:00h (57%).

Conclusion:

Sleep length and quality are negatively affected by non-resident on-calls when clinicians are contacted after 22:00h. There is no measurable impact on sleep quality when clinicians are not disturbed whilst on-call remotely. NHS trusts should monitor the wellbeing of their doctors and consider the implications of overnight commitments when structuring elective rotas.
Lyme disease: a comprehensive perspective on pathogen biology, clinical aspects and epidemiology in India
Authors: Sarath Pulamoola Kelu , Aneesh Embalil Mathachan
Published: February 2025

Background & objectives:

Lyme disease is a multisystem illness caused by the spirochaetes bacteria belonging to the genus Borrelia. It’s a tick-borne disease that poses serious health concerns in major parts of the world including India. This review aims to comprehend the disease in depth encompassing its pathogen biology, clinical presentations, diagnosis, treatment strategies, epidemiology in India, and preventive measures against it.

Methods:

Peer-reviewed articles, reviews, meta-analyses and clinical studies relating to the topic were searched across reliable electronic databases like PubMed, and ScienceDirect, without imposing any time restriction for up-to-date information with a focus on sources indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI).

Results:

The pathogen is a gram-negative bacterium namely Borrelia burgdorferri infesting ticks mainly belonging to the genus Ixodes. Clinical presentations vary from single Erethema Chronicum Migrans (ECM) to neurological complexities, cardiac disorders, and severe arthritic conditions. A two-tiered test recommended by CDC is currently employed to diagnose the disease. 15 out of 28 states in India have reports of Lyme disease; most of these states also have Ixodes ticks. However, the exact vector is not confirmed in India.

Interpretation & conclusion:

13 of the 15 states where Lyme disease cases have been reported have also had ticks belonging to the genus Ixodes. Thus it can be assumed that vectors of Lyme disease in India are Ixodes sp., but more studies are required to confirm and validate this assumption, and find the exact species of the vector tick. As an ignored vector-borne disease in India, Lyme disease warrants more research and surveillance.
Immunoinformatic based multi-epitope vaccine design and validation against Kyasanur forest disease: A tick borne viral infection
Authors: Adla Deepthi , Josyula Jhansi Venkata Nagamani , Ancha Tejaswini , Mutheneni Srinivasa Rao
Published: February 2025

Background & objectives:

Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD) is a tick-borne viral illness prevalent in the Western Ghats region of India, posing a significant public health concern. The current formalin-inactivated KFDV vaccine exhibits modest efficacy, necessitating the development of more potent preventive measures.

Methods:

This study employed immunoinformatic modelling techniques to design a multiepitope-based vaccine subunit targeting humoral and cell-mediated immune responses against KFDV. The vaccine was constructed using helper T cell (CD4+), cytotoxic T cell (CD8+), and B cell epitopes, linked together with appropriate linkers and an adjuvant β-defensin at the N-terminus, resulting in a 704 amino acid long vaccine subunit. Evaluation parameters included immunogenic potency, allergenicity, solubility, toxicity, and population coverage. Predictions of secondary and three-dimensional (3D) structure were made, followed by docking studies with Toll-like receptor-3 (TLR3) and major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I and II) to assess binding affinity. Additionally, simulation of the vaccine and TLR3 construct was performed using the iMod server to further analyze their interaction dynamics.

Results:

The developed vaccine subunit exhibited favorable structural and dynamic stability, with strong binding affinity to target receptors. Codon optimization and in silico cloning analysis indicated high vaccine expression and potency. Immune stimulation studies revealed enhanced production of IgG, IgM, helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, INF-gamma, and IL-2, indicative of robust immune response against KFDV.

Interpretation & conclusion:

The developed vaccine construct was structurally and dynamically stable and produced a strong immune response against KFDV. However, further animal model studies are needed to assess the efficacy and safety of these vaccines for the prevention of KFDV. The vaccine subunit structure was submitted to the ModelArchive database (https://www.modelarchive.org/doi/10.5452/ma-ij19q).

Makerspace and the 5 C’s of Learning: Constructing, Collaborating, Communicating, Critically-Thinking, and Creatively-Thinking
Authors: Dignam Christopher
Published: February 2025

From early childhood settings to higher education, makerspaces provide opportunities for learners of all ages and backgrounds to engage in hands-on learning for designing and creating to solve problems. This study explores the advent of the makerspace movement and the benefits and future implications for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) learning for interweaving makers philosophy. As our global society nears the close of the first quarter of the twenty-first century, the skills developed, refined, and improved through makers learning readies all learners with twenty-second century preparedness. The makerspace movement is innately centered on constructivism. Constructivism provides learners with both social discourse and the transmission of experiential knowledge for constructing understanding. This study examines the effect of constructivism and the roles of communicating and collaborating during makers discovery for motivating students and makerspace influence on social skills development. The prosocial benefits of makerspaces also serve as catalysts for inspiring personalized learning and group learning dynamics between cooperating students. Moreover, makerspaces incorporate elements of computing, engineering, and the arts in the aesthetics of student work products. When students design and construct, they employ critical-thinking skills for creating original works of art and science. The development of critical-thinking skills and creativity in learners are life skills students employ throughout a lifetime of learning. This study explores a spectrum of makerspace tools, ranging from cardboard and Legos to laser cutters and CNC machines for use by learners in early childhood centers through university settings. This study also provides recommendations for future makerspace utilization as both a course offering for students as well as strategies for embedding makers philosophy through interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teaching and learning athwart a spectrum of STEAM and content areas.

The Evolution of Digital Payments in Rural India: An Insight into Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Vani Hiral , Agarwal Reetika
Published: February 2025

Digitization is the need of an hour. Digital payment has been a word of mouth for every citizen in India since the invention of UPI. Other digital payment modes include Internet banking, mobile banking, Aadhar Enabled Payment Systems (AEPS), National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT), Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS), Electronic Clearing Service (ECS), Immediate Payment Service (IPS), E Wallet, etc. The adoption of digital payment in India is increasing. Post pandemic and demonetization, the use of digital payment has outperformed expectations. However, the rural areas faced many challenges like illiteracy, no internet facility, lack of trust, low financial freedom for women, no incentives, etc. Government programs and RBI policies have led to the promotion of digital payment in rural areas as well. The opportunity for rural areas grew, and thus, the adoption of digital payment in rural areas also increased various opportunities like providing internet facilities, low cost service, easy usage, multiple languages, etc. The prospects of digital payments in rural areas will likely grow and contribute significantly to the Indian economy.
Honeywords, an Enhancing Password Security Mechanism: A Comprehensive Survey
Authors: Saadullah Shahad A. , Mohammed Saja J.
Published: February 2025

With the increasing computer usage, the increase in threats to digital systems has led to the need to protect these systems by proposed a new technology to protect the system against hackers. So, there was a need to protect users' passwords and provide them with reliability and security. So-called honey words were used, which are fake words that are combined with real passwords side by side in the authentication database. Honeywords are a popular technology in the digital world and are important for enhancing the security of users' real passwords and are considered a strong additional security layer. The advantage of this technology is that it detects attempts to access systems without authorization. This technology provides high protection that confuses the attacker between which words in the database are real and fake. This technology increases the difficulty and complexity of hacking by attackers and enhances system security. Furthermore, it provides an effective strategy to mitigate the risks associated with password breaches, including dictionary and brute force attacks, thus improving the overall system resilience. This paper offers a comprehensive survey of the honeywords and their generating algorithms. The paper can be used as user help to give proper and adequate information about this subject.

Authors:   Universitas Negeri Semarang, Setyowati Dewi Liesnoor , Hardati Puji , Amin Muhammad , Trihatmoko Edy
Published: February 2025

Energy conservation will be achieved if there is a correlation between human actions in managing energy use and the absorption of emissions, which in this case refers only to CO2. This correlation will create a comfortable environment. The aims of this study were to: analyze energy consumption in Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) campus, Indonesia, analyze the distribution of trees related to the sequestration of emissions; and understand the awareness of the users of energy in the UNNES campus. Trees were analyzed for their distribution patterns to assess differences in emission absorption between areas with the highest and lowest tree concentrations. Energy consumption to analyze the different human activity levels. The ability to sequester CO2 emissions was estimated by identifying the spatial distribution of trees. Spatial pattern analysis was employed to establish the human responses to energy management. Although 67% of the UNNES campus comprised of green areas, these cannot absorb the total emissions of 7,862 t yr-1, with 1,573 t yr-1 unabsorbed. The green areas extent is unrelated to the number of trees. Trees over 25 cm in diameter have a wide coverage canopy. Still, not all green area distribution patterns were in the form of shade trees, so the emission absorption function is low. Based on the calculations, the 10,264 trees in UNNES can only absorb about 40% of campus activity emissions.
Is it really there? Addressing inadequate sampling and false detection in environmental DNA metabarcoding
Authors:   Mindanao State University, Antinero Ariel , Balaba Mayenne , Leopardas Venus , Aspe Nonillon , Kajita Tadashi
Published: February 2025

The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) for biodiversity assessment has garnered significant attention due to its cost-effectiveness, rapidity, accuracy, and non-invasiveness in acquiring data on organisms in various habitats. Despite its numerous advantages over traditional methods, there remains a pressing need for improved protocol standardization. This review synthesizes potential strategies to address false detection in eDNA metabarcoding, including inadequate sampling and limited persistence of eDNA, contamination, primer biases, inhibition of DNA amplification, differentiation of eDNA from deceased organisms, incomplete databases, and sequencing errors or poor-quality sequences. Best practices such as collecting 1 to 2 liters of surface water, replicating polymerase chain reactions (PCR), using multiple genetic markers and primers to mitigate PCR primer biases, and implementing stringent contamination controls at each analysis step are recommended. While no universal recommendations currently exist for the diverse applications of eDNA metabarcoding in species detection, adopting these measures can enhance the reliability and accuracy of results. Despite the present limitations in sequence databases and the necessity for improved primer quality and analysis pipelines, the eDNA approach is anticipated to evolve and become more standardized. This review provides practical guidance on eDNA technology for researchers, consultants, and managers, facilitating its effective use in biodiversity assessments.

The school library at Yaspend Ikal Bulog Sumut plays a vital role in providing various reading materials to support students' learning activities. However, based on observations and interviews with the librarian, it was found that library management is still conducted manually, such as recording book borrowings and returns, which often leads to issues, including data loss. This study aims to design a web-based library information system that facilitates easy access and digital management of reading materials. The system was designed using the Scrum methodology and includes features that allow for collection searches, borrowing data management, and more flexible access to learning resources. The implementation of the system showed satisfactory results in supporting modern library management needs, with the potential to enhance students' accessibility to various learning materials in a practical manner.
Investigando a fragmentação socioespacial a partir de assentamentos precários designados como Zonas Especiais de Interesse Social

A fragmentação socioespacial do tecido urbano tem adicionado uma considerável complexidade ao enfrentamento do crescimento das favelas. Este artigo busca analisar a diferenciação e a fragmentação socioespacial em favelas compreendidas como Zonas Especiais de Interesse Social (ZEIS), a partir da relação de suas características internas com o restante da cidade. A análise introduz contribuições metodológicas que utilizam análises discriminantes para identificar quais variáveis possuem maior relevância em diferenciar as favelas de seus respectivos entornos, construindo um índice de diferenciação socioespacial. A interpretação dos resultados auxiliou na análise da fragmentação socioespacial em territórios centrais e periféricos. A importância de mensurar os níveis de diferenciação espacial nesses territórios está em investigar possíveis graus de ameaças ao direito à moradia e à cidade, função primordial desse zoneamento urbano. Finalmente, as implicações dos resultados são apresentadas em um quadro com diretrizes, destinadas a planejadores urbanos empenhados no reconhecimento e na proteção de ZEIS.
Evaluating a Womens’ Residential Treatment Centre for Gambling Harm
Authors:   Gordon Moody, Unit 3, Castlegate Court, Dudley, UK, Baker-Frampton Rosalind
Published: February 2025

Aims: Gordon Moody opened a women’s residential treatment facility for harmful gambling in the UK in 2021, responding to a growing need for residential
treatment for women experiencing gambling harm. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of the programme.
Design: 68 women who attended residential treatment between November 2021 - November 2023 were evaluated for their gambling behaviours,
psychological distress levels, anxiety and depression before and after treatment. Residents lived together in a purpose-built treatment building whilst
undergoing treatment. This enabled them to support each other through the programme. Women were supported by trained therapists and support
workers and took part in group and individual therapy sessions including: cognitive-behavioural therapy; motivational interviewing; interpersonal group
therapy; and art therapy. Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI), Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (Core-10), Patient Health Questionnaire
(PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) questionnaires were administered to women before and after treatment. Women were encouraged
to complete PGSI and Core-10 questionnaires at three- and six-months post treatment.
Findings: Gambling behaviours (measured by PGSI) significantly dropped after treatment, and remained at a lower level three months later. Psychological
distress (Core-10) scores dropped following treatment, rising slightly three months after treatment (N=29). Before treatment, the majority of women scored
above the clinical threshold for anxiety (measured by the GAD-7) and depression (measured by the PHQ-9). These levels fell significantly after treatment.
Conclusion: Participating in this programme reduces the level of gambling severity and levels of anxiety and depression, and improves psychological
wellbeing, in women suffering from gambling harm.

O trematódeo Schistosoma mansoni é um parasito heteroxeno obrigatório, demonstrando em seu ciclo de vida a participação de hospedeiros definitivos e intermediários. A fase de desenvolvimento larval se realizará em moluscos aquáticos do gênero Biomphalaria formando as cercárias, que emergem para infectar um hospedeiro vertebrado final. Esta fase inicial é essencial para a multiplicação do parasito. Assim, estudos de controle de doenças causadas por trematódeos digenéticos focam no combate de moluscos hospedeiros. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a suscetibilidade de embriões de B. tenagophila ao fungo Pochonia chlamydosporia, isolado Pc-10, sob condições laboratoriais. Para isto, dois grupos experimentais foram formados: o grupo controle, sem o fungo, e o grupo tratado, referente a exposição das massas ovígeras do hospedeiro aos propágulos do isolado (Pc-10). Todo o experimento foi conduzido em duplicata, constando de cinco réplicas para cada repetição (cinco massas ovígeras), utilizando N total de 100 massas ovígeras. A exposição aos corpos hifais de Pc-10 comprometeu significativamente a viabilidade dos ovos de B. tenagophila, inibindo em cerca de 83,7% a embriogênese em relação ao grupo controle. As análises de microscopia eletrônica de transmissão e varredura revelaram alterações estruturais relevantes nas membranas de revestimento embrionário em massas ovígeras expostas a ação micelial do fungo, interferindo no desenvolvimento e eclosão do planorbídeo em questão. Estes resultados ratificam a suscetibilidade de embriões de B. tenagophila ao fungo P. chlamydosporia, isolado Pc-10, sugerindo sua utilização em programas oficiais de controle da esquistossomose mansônica.
IMAGINEA DACILOR ÎN OPERELE ISTORICE ALE LUI DIMITRIE CANTEMIR
Authors: NICOLAE Florentina
Published: February 2025

The Image of the Dacians in Dimitrie Cantemir’s Historical Works. In this paper, we aim to analyze the historiographical work of Dimitrie Cantemir, written in Latin and Romanian, in order to identify the ways in which the image of the Dacians is used in the author’s rhetorical and argumentative strategies. The Dacians are associated with the figures of the emperors Oc­tavianus Augustus and Trajan, which are emblematic in the author’s view, for the ethnogenesis of the Romanian people. Although Cantemir believes that the Dacians were exterminated by the Romans, he uses their image, portrayed with positive, heroic features, as an argument and a proofe regarding the antiquity and nobility of the Romanian people.
