Authors: Azzahra Safira , Ervianti Evy , Setiabudi Rebekah
Published: January 2025

Dermatophytosis, the most common fungal infection in humans, significantly impacts quality of life due to its clinical and cosmetic effects. Its high prevalence underscores the need to evaluate patient profiles to improve management strategies.  This study aim is to identify the most prevalent type of dermatophytosis, patient demographics, clinical characteristics, laboratory investigations, and therapy in dermatophytosis into the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of dermatophytosis in a tropical, high-burden region. This descriptive retrospective study used total sampling of medical records of dermatophytosis patients from January 2017 to December 2022.  Tinea corporis and tinea cruris was the most common, while tinea manuum is the least common dermatophytosis. Female adults were the most affected group. Common clinical features for each type included alopecia for tinea capitis, erythematous macules for other types, and nail dystrophy for tinea unguium. Trichophyton mentagrophytes was the commonest pathogen in 2017. Most of the therapies followed Clinical Practice Guidelines with extensive use of griseofulvin and ketoconazole cream. Further research should explore therapeutic outcomes, preventive measures, and factors influencing recurrence and adherence to treatment.

Published: January 2025

This study examines severe atmospheric pollution in Brazilian metropolises and its impacts on public health, employing a deductive approach and bibliographic review. The investigation highlights how the predominance of fossil fuels in the vehicular energy matrix significantly contributes to the degradation of air quality, perpetuating adverse health conditions that culminate in respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, thereby reducing life expectancy. The text aims to discuss the importance of integrated public policies and the modernization of the vehicle fleet as measures to mitigate pollutant emissions. Collaboration between the Ministries of Health and Environment, along with active societal participation, is essential to implement effective intersectoral solutions, promoting a future with cleaner air and a better quality of life in urban centers.
Desafios do controle de economicidade da intervenção estatal indireta pelo Tribunal de Contas da União
Authors: Pinheiro Hendrick , Fontão Zago Marina
Published: January 2025

O artigo busca identificar os desafios do controle de economicidade de medidas de intervenção estatal indireta pelo Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU). Para isso, analisa as características do fomento estatal e das medidas interventivas indiretas, apresenta os desafios para a quantificação dos custos associados a tais medidas e, ao final, a partir de experiências concretas identificadas na jurisprudência do TCU, evidencia os desafios do controle externo federal na implementação de um efetivo controle de economicidade sobre tais modalidades de atuação estatal. Conclui-se que o controle de economicidade desenvolvido pelo TCU sobre medidas de intervenção estatal indireta ainda é tímido, sendo que, nos casos analisados, a Corte não promoveu uma análise propositiva com base em uma relação de custo-benefício, e não propôs outros parâmetros para esse controle.

Artificial intelligence in cardiac metabolism: the next frontier in cardiovascular health
Authors: Chen An-Tian , Zhang Yuhui , Zhang Jian
Published: January 2025

In this article, we aim to explore the rapidly developing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in cardiac metabolism research, highlighting its impact on biomarker discovery, precision medicine, and patient stratification. Cardiac metabolism, a key determinant of cardiovascular health, is often disrupted in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) like heart failure and coronary artery disease. AI’s ability to process and analyze large-scale data offers new chances for understanding and addressing these metabolic dysfunctions. By integrating up-to-date technologies with molecular and clinical insights, AI enables the achievement of personalized treatments, more accurate diagnostics, and the discovery of potential novel therapeutic targets. The main challenges include ethical concerns around data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the need for representative datasets. Future directions focus on developing transparent, accountable, and collaborative AI models that integrate data and enable real-time monitoring, ensuring fairness and accessibility in healthcare. As AI continues to evolve, its role in advancing cardiovascular care is expected to grow, offering new trends in cardiovascular research.

Published: January 2025

This community development initiative aimed to enhance Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia through increased financial inclusivity and digital financial literacy, addressing challenges in sustainable growth. With a structured approach, the program collaborated with government-backed financial institutions, specifically the Pusat Investasi Pemerintah (PIP) and Pegadaian, to broaden access to tailored financing schemes. Digital financial literacy workshops were conducted to empower MSME, especially in Bandung urban area and rural area across West Java, with the skills to leverage financial technology for effective business management. The methodology encompassed participatory training, counseling, and monitoring to ensure practical knowledge application among 67 MSMEs participants across Bandung. Evaluation showed substantial improvements: 80% of participants secured financing through UMi and Pegadaian’s gold-pawn schemes, and 75% exhibited enhanced proficiency in digital financial tools, resulting in notable business efficiency gains. Despite limitations in digital infrastructure, particularly in rural areas, the program underscored the significance of accessible financial services and digital literacy for MSME resilience. Future recommendations emphasize expanding digital infrastructure, continuous training, and inclusive financing initiatives to foster MSMEs contributions to Indonesia’s economic sustainability.
A Surgical Technique Guide for Percutaneous Screw Fixation for Metastatic Pelvic Lesions
Authors: Lian Jayson , Yang Rui , Akioyamen Noel O. , Wang Jichuan , Ge David H. , Sen Milan K. , Hoang Bang , Geller David S.
Published: January 2025

Background:

The pelvis is one of the most common areas for metastatic bone disease. We recently described the use of a minimally invasive percutaneous screw fixation of metastatic non-periacetabular pelvic lesions, with excellent results.

Description:

The procedure can be completed in a standard operating theater without the need for special instruments. In our video we describe the appropriate intraoperative patient positioning, surgical equipment, surgical approach, and obtainment of the necessary fluoroscopic views for placement of various pelvic percutaneous screws.

Alternatives:

Alternative treatments include surgical procedures such as curettage, cement packing, and modified Harrington total hip arthroplasty through extensive open approaches. Additionally, as an alternative to standard fluoroscopy, intraoperative navigation and an O-arm could be utilized for the placement of screws. In our experience, intraoperative navigation has been helpful for confirmation of final screw placement and length. Overreliance on intraoperative navigation in the setting of poor bone quality and an abandonment of tactile feedback and the various tips described in this video article can lead to inadvertent extraosseous screw placement and injury. Furthermore, as navigation involves only a virtually computed image, we have found it challenging to utilize in complex, curved bones, such as the superior pubic ramus.

Rationale:

Percutaneous screw fixation is safe and effective for the treatment of metastatic non-periacetabular pelvic lesions. Given the simplicity of the technique and instrumentation, and the tolerance of concomitant treatments, this approach is worthy of broader consideration.

Expected Outcomes:

In our recent study, 22 consecutive patients with painful non-periacetabular pelvic metastatic cancer underwent percutaneous screw fixation. There were no surgical complications. Postoperatively, there was significant improvement in visual analog scale pain scores and functional Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scores, as compared with baseline

.

Important Tips:

Despite the simplicity of the intraoperative set-up and instrumentation, the procedure is technically demanding. Obtaining the correct fluoroscopic views and troubleshooting intraoperative hurdles can be challenging.

Applying the ecosystem goods and services (EGS) framework : Meramec case study
Authors: Waigner Lisa , Filoso Solange , Gazenski Kim , Murray Elizabeth , Theiling Charles , Komlos Shawn
Published: January 2025

This technical report explores ecosystem goods and services (EGS) assessment to support US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) decision-making by applying the recently published proposed EGS framework (Wainger et al. 2020) to a case study. A joint effort of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and USACE, the Meramec River Basin Ecosystem Restoration Feasibility Study provides an opportunity to investigate the practicality of EGS analysis and how it might determine complementarity or antagonism among study partner goals. The EPA seeks primarily to protect hu-man health, while USACE aims to restore aquatic ecosystems. Subjected to elevated heavy metals from upstream mining, altered hydrology, and other degrading factors, the river system nevertheless supports high aquatic biodiversity and numerous rare species. The project team developed an EGS conceptual model to document the potential ecological features and processes changes, ecological outcomes, and social benefits or harms of proposed management actions. Nonmonetary EGS benefit indicators illustrated concordance of the project goals with national restoration priorities. Overall, this initial analysis indicates that EGS analysis is feasible with the types of models and data available for the project, promotes explicit analysis of synergies and conflicts, and helps communicate effects and trade-offs during planning.

Evaluación del riesgo ambiental acuático de la mezcla de dos herbicidas comerciales en el bioindicador Daphnia magna
Authors:   , Susanivar Agustin Maximiliano
Published: January 2025

El bioensayo con Daphnia magna Strauss, 1820, es muy útil para calcular el efecto ecotoxicológico agudo individual y en mezcla de diversos químicos a través de su concentración letal media (CL50). El fin de la investigación fue evaluar el riesgo ambiental acuático de la interacción (mezcla) de los herbicidas glifosato (GLY) y paraquat (PQ) en Daphnia magna. En ensayos a 24h y 48h de exposición, se utilizaron cultivos estandarizados en el bioindicador Daphnia magna donde evaluaron los herbicidas GLY y PQ, y la interacción de ambos. Los datos obtenidos para D. magna demostraron que la toxicidad aguda fue la siguiente: mezcla de glifosato+paraquat >paraquat >glifosato. La Evaluación del Riesgo Ambiental (ERA) sin uso del factor de seguridad (FS) mostró que el GLY no representa un riesgo individual en el cultivo de palta, mientras que en los demás escenarios (café y caña de azúcar) sí; contrario a PQ que si representa un riesgo ambiental acuático. La ERA determinada con uso del FS mostró riesgo para ambos herbicidas en todos los escenarios. Se concluye que GLY y PQ representan un riesgo para el ecosistema acuático.
Fishery nutrient profiles provide a practical tool for nutrition-sensitive fisheries management

Published: January 2025

Small-scale fisheries are a crucial source of nutrient-dense aquatic foods in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet practical tools to manage these fisheries to optimize nutritional outcomes in an ecosystem approach remain limited. We present an analytical framework and predictive model of fishery nutrient profiles under typical multispecies, multi-gear situations. Using six-years of catch data from Timor-Leste, we modelled how different fishing methods, habitats, vessel types and seasons influence the yield of nutrients of public health significance. Our results demonstrate that fishing method and habitat are strong predictors of catch nutritional profiles. Importantly, different combinations of fishing strategies can achieve similar nutritional outcomes, indicating complementary management pathways to enhance nutrient availability for communities while balancing ecological, economic, and human wellbeing goals. This replicable framework provides actionable insights for nutrition-sensitive fisheries management and offers data-driven guidance for policies aimed at improving food and nutrition security in LMICs.
Access to HIV Health Care and Support Services: The Psychosocial-Stigma Experiences of Black Africans
Authors: Omondi Janet Atieno , Raburu Pamela
Published: January 2025

Stigma is not new to public health, nor is it unique to HIV, but quite a complex issue that has deep roots in the intricately folded domains of gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality and culture. HIV related stigma remains one of the largest barriers for people living with the disease and accessing HIV healthcare and support services. This study explored stigma experiences in accessing HIV healthcare and support services in the wider context of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), stigma and health. This study was qualitative in nature and adopted purposive sampling. A sample comprised 9 Senior Black Africans above fifty years of age, living with HIV, and regular attendees of a London-based support group. Participants from a previous undergraduate study formed part of the present study. A thematic data analysis was employed and themes that emerged from the interviews included the complex interplay of stigma and access to HIV services; stigma and inequality; stigma and poverty, stigma and peer support groups; stigma and mental health; stigma and the right to stay in the United Kingdom (UK). The results identified themes that may be consequences of stigma that affects individuals and may be manifested as either internalised or externalised stigma or discrimination related to HIV. It is recommended that stigma experienced by most of the participants should be considered when developing intervention strategies to improve access to HIV healthcare and support services. Mental Health and Psycho-social support intervention is ideal for those suffering from stigma.
Brajičićev i neoskolastički »promašaj cilja« u pogledu Kanta
Authors: Pavić Željko
Published: January 2025

U svojemu prilogu autor analizira članak »Kantov promašaj cilja« Rudolfa Brajičića DI, gdje se Kantu prigovara da je postulirajući »nespoznatljivost stvari po sebi« širom otvorio vrata novovjekovnome i posebice prosvjetiteljskom agnosticizmu i njegovu bezgraničnom povjerenju u um. Kroz analizu Kantova spisa Prolegomena za svaku budući metafiziku (1783.) i pozivajući se na jedan članak o Kantu Aloisa Haldera, autor pokazuje kako je vjera u svom odnosu prema Bogu potpuno autonomna i slobodna, za razliku od uma koji postavljajući samoga sebe kao »objekt« svojih razmišljanja u stvari dospijeva u onu vrstu »transcendentalnoga solipsizma« koja ga nužno dovodi u nerješive antinomije. Budući da po Kantu »bitak nije nikakav realni predikat«, on se svakako može smatrati pretečom kasnije egzistencijalno-filozofske kritike tradicionalne ontoteologije, od kojega uostalom i potječe taj termin.
Personalistička percepcija filozofije Immanuela Kanta
Authors: Čulo Ivan , Šestak Ivan
Published: January 2025

U radu se analizira personalističko viđenje Kantove misli općenito te personalistička kritika na Kantovo shvaćanje ljudskog dostojanstva i prirodnog prava. Ukazuje se na način na koji su rezultati te kritike realizirani kao personalistički koncept ljudskog dostojanstva koji je svoj odraz našao i u temeljnim pravnim aktima o ljudskim pravima. Iznose se i zaključna razmatranja u svjetlu suvremenih rasprava recepcije porijekla pravnog utemeljenja ljudskog dostojanstva.
Transcendentalne dinamičke sheme vremenskog poretka u svjetlu Zenonove aporije »leteća strijela«
Authors: Ružić Goran Ž. , Đorđević Strahinja
Published: January 2025

U Zenonovu »dokazu« nepokretnosti leteće strijele izostavljeno je nešto što će puno stoljeća kasnije Immanuel Kant nazvati dinamičkom transcendentalnom shemom vremenskog poretka. Istraživat ćemo povezanost sheme vremenskog poretka s kategorijama relacije i analogijama iskustva. Problemi koje proizvode Zenonove kinematičke aporije bivaju preformulirani i shodno tome na poseban način rješivi. Greška u Zenonovu zaključivanju jest u tome da jedna dinamička pojava (tj. leteće strijele) koja je supsumirana pod transcendentalnu shemu vremenskog slijeda biva promatrana kao da je podređena samo matematičkim shemama vremenskog niza i vremenskog sadržaja.
Sklop i sklapanje u Heideggerovim Prilozima filozofiji
Authors: Popović Una
Published: January 2025

Tema je ovog rada pojam sklopa, odnosno sklapanja, kako je predstavljen u Heideggerovu drugom glavnom djelu, Prilozima filozofiji. Pojam sklopa vezujemo uz unutrašnju strukturu predloženog novog načina mišljenja drugog početka, te u radu sklop i sklapanje ispitujemo prvenstveno u metodološkom smislu. Pored toga, analiza pokazuje da se metodološki smisao temelji u ontološkom, stoga će u drugom dijelu rada biti ocrtani i ontološki okviri sklopa i sklapanja. U rezultatima, analiza daje osnovu da se sklopno mišljenje usvoji kao ključ tumačenja cjeline Heideggerove (pozne) filozofije, te da se ispita kao izvorište tzv. topološkog mišljenja.
Konzervativna politička filozofija
Authors: Šturanović Petar
Published: January 2025

Autor se u radu bavi konzervativnom političkom filozofijom, analizira joj osnove i ističe mijene. Naizgled paradoksalno za doktrinu u čijoj je osnovi skepticizam prema promjeni i vjera u poznato, konzervativizam je mijenjao svoje postulate bilo da govorimo o organskom shvaćanju društva, tradiciji, vlasništvu, bilo o religiji i obiteljskim vrijednostima. Autor konstatira da su konzervativci gubili tzv. kulturni rat u cilju ostvarivanja pobjeda u političkoj areni te da su zbog njih pravili kompromise sa svojim fundamentalnim stremljenjima. Savezništvo konzervativne ideologije s neoliberalnom i libertarijanskom, koja je stvorena u borbi protiv etatizma i komunizma, imala je za rezultat uzmicanje konzervativne doktrine pred idejama klasičnog liberalizma. Reformiranje konzervativizma apsorbiranjem liberalnih vrijednosti nerijetko je vodilo stvaranju ideje koja se gotovo više nije mogla zvati konzervativnom. Autor je na primjerima anglo-američkog konzervativizma nastojao potvrditi iznesenu tezu, ali je kao reakciju na taj proces istaknuo i inkarnaciju desetljećima marginaliziranih vrijednosti američkog konzervativizma na početku XXI. stoljeća.
»Kroz tamno staklo« – uvidi u fenomenologiju autizma
Authors: Nešić Janko
Published: January 2025

U ovom radu pokazat ću na koji način metode koje vuku porijeklo iz fenomenologije (tj. praktična ili empirijska fenomenologija) mogu pomoći u unapređivanju istraživanja i razumijevanja poremećaja iz spektra autizma. Već postoje mnoge znanstvene i filozofske teorije autizma, ali da bismo zaista došli do dubljeg uvida u prirodu ovog stanja, izučavanje subjektivnih i intersubjektivnih iskustava bit će od presudnog značaja. U ovo istraživanje moraju biti aktivno uključene i same autistične osobe. S obzirom na to da se najčešće, po brojnim teorijama i pristupima, a prije svega u fenomenološkom pristupu, autizam razumijeva kao drugačija intersubjektivnost (interkorporealnosti), socijalna interakcija i socijalna kognicija, proučavanje ovih fenomena bit će od posebnog značaja. Zadani predmet istraživanja iziskuje i specifičnu i odgovarajuću metodologiju koja i sama mora nositi pečat interaktivnosti. Upravo ću zato razmotriti zbog čega je važno raditi na razvijanju fenomenološkog istraživanja autizma i koja su metodološka rješenja već ponuđena i primijenjena da bi se krenulo k ostvarenju toga cilja.
Povratne informacije učenicima u početnoj nastavi matematike
Authors: Mužar Horvat Sanela
Published: January 2025

Kvalitetna povratna informacija omogućuje učeniku usmjeriti se na cilj nastave i biti svjestan odgovornosti za svoj uspjeh. Ona ne treba predstavljati kritiku ni pohvalu, već obuhvaća set informacija koje će ga uputiti kako popraviti pogreške i učiti. Povratna informacija pozitivno utječe na učenje učenika (Voerman et al., 2012) i ključan je čimbenik u povećanju postignuća iz matematike (Clarke, 2001). Svrha ovog akcijskog istraživanja je unaprijediti početnu nastavu matematike davanjem povratnih informacija. Analizom videozapisa nastave utvrđeno je da prevladavaju povratne informacije usmjerene na provjeru razumijevanja i postignuća učenika. Osim toga, učenici su dobivali povratne informacije o zadatku. Ostvarivanjem planiranih aktivnosti uočena je povećana kontrola nad vlastitim učenjem i učeničko zadovoljstvo nastavom matematike. Pokazalo se kako je moguće unaprijediti nastavu matematike uvođenjem promjena koje su primjerene mogućnostima i interesima učenika. Pritom je važno da učitelj poznaje učinkovite nastavne metode koje mora prilagoditi odgojnom i obrazovnom kontekstu u kojemu radi.
“I didn’t have high expectations so I wasn’t… really disappointed”
Authors: Degač Đurđica , Vukić Jana
Published: January 2025

To understand changes in education caused by the transition to distance education, we utilize sociological concepts such as Turner’s concept of social dynamics to theoretically place changed relationships between individuals, institutions, and the social system, and we use various concepts of capital in understanding activation of teachers’ capital and resources. Primary research objectives were to analyze (a) institutional support to teachers from their perspective and (b) the capital and resources teachers had to activate during distance education. Interviews with 32 teachers from Croatia were conducted in 2020 and deductive thematic analysis was applied. Results indicate that the adjustment from teachers’ perspective relied mostly on their direct work with students and activation of personal and professional capital and resources, while institutional support was of secondary importance. Themes related to the institutional support indicate a mix of positive and negative experiences with negative experiences more pronounced regarding the national level support. Social capital and the exchange of experiences with colleagues are highlighted in comparison to the national‑level institutional support which aligns with Turner’s analysis of social dynamics.
Profesionalno izgaranje stručnih suradnika u školi
Authors: Mihajlović Tatjana , Skopljak Margareta , Vaselić Nada , Partalo Dragan
Published: January 2025

Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitati profesionalno izgaranje stručnih suradnika (51 psiholog i 70 pedagoga) u osnovnim i srednjim školama u odnosu na sociodemografske odrednice. Primijenjen je MBI -Upitnik za stručnjake pomagačkih zanimanja. Najprisutniji simptomi profesionalnog izgaranja su u domeni osobnog postignuća (76 %), zatim slijede emocionalna iscrpljenost (63,6 %) i depersonalizacija (62 %). Rezultati ukazuju na to da razlika postoji između školskih pedagoga i psihologa u pogledu depersonalizacije i osobnog postignuća. Kada je riječ o razini škole u kojoj rade stručni suradnici, razlika je utvrđena na ljestvici depersonalizacije. S obzirom na lokaciju škole, razlike su prisutne u odnosu na emocionalnu iscrpljenost i depersonalizaciju, pri čemu je profesionalno izgaranje veće u prigradskim školama. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na potrebu psihološko‑pedagoškog preventivnog rada, poticanje socijalne podrške i timskog rada. U narednim istraživanjima potrebno je uključiti stručne suradnike drugih ustanova te primijeniti i ostale instrumente koji se odnose na profesionalno izgaranje.
Odabir profesije, iskustvo tijekom rada i želja za napuštanjem posla kao dio profesionalnog identiteta odgajatelja
Authors: Blanuša Trošelj Danijela
Published: January 2025

Rani i predškolski odgoj i obrazovanje mijenjaju se u skladu s mnogim novim spoznajama. S tim u vezi je i važna uloga odgajatelja koji se svakodnevno susreću s raznolikim izazovima i novim ulogama. Nošenje s njima u uskoj je vezi s odgajateljevim profesionalnim identitetom kao promjenjivom kategorijom kompleksnog procesa razvoja pojedinca u njegovoj profesiji. Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je utvrditi kako određeni čimbenici – u ovom slučaju odabir profesije, pozitivno ili negativno iskustvo u radu te želja za napuštanjem posla – prema mišljenju odgajatelja utječu na njihov profesionalni razvoj i identitet. Istraživanje je provedeno ispunjavanjem upitnika na uzorku 594 odgajatelja u različitim fazama profesionalnog razvoja i različitih razina obrazovanja. Utvrđeno je da veliki broj ispitanika od rane dobi ima želju postati odgajateljem te da većina ispitanika nikada nije poželjela napustiti posao. Potvrđeno je i da je napuštanje posla uvjetovano stresnim situacijama. Utvrđena je i povezanost pozitivnih i negativnih iskustva u radu s fazama profesionalnog razvoja, kao i razinom obrazovanja odgajatelja.
Matematička kreativnost
Authors: Jukić Matić Ljerka , Moslavac Bičvić Diana
Published: January 2025

U 21. stoljeću kreativnost se, uz kritičko mišljenje, suradnju i komunikaciju, prepoznaje kao ključna vještina za pripremu učenika za buduće poslove i nepredvidive društvene izazove. Nije dovoljno samo poticati kreativnost u obrazovanju, već ju je važno i procjenjivati jer procjena kreativnosti pomaže u identifikaciji i razumijevanju kreativnih sposobnosti učenika. U ovom radu usmjerili smo se na matematičku kreativnost, povezujući ju s općim definicijama kreativnosti. Detaljno istražujemo i analiziramo metode koje potiču matematičku kreativnost i omogućuju njezino procjenjivanje, ističući inovacije koje proizlaze iz primjene tih metoda. Metode koje razmatramo usmjerene su na pristupe postavljanja i rješavanja problema, uključujući zadatke otvorenoga tipa. Rezultati pokazuju da te metode ne samo da potiču matematičku kreativnost učenika, već doprinose povezanijem matematičkom znanju i poboljšavaju sposobnosti rješavanja problema.
Odnos afektivnoga intenziteta i stilova suočavanja sa stresom
Authors: Kardum Igor , Hudek-Knežević Jasna , Krapić Nada
Published: January 2025

U dva je istraživanja ispitan odnos između različitih mjera afektivnoga intenziteta i triju stilova suočavanja sa stresom – suočavanja usmjerenog na problem, suočavanja usmjerenog na emocije i suočavanja izbjegavanjem. U prvom su istraživanju na uzorku od 250 sudionika korištene dispozicijske mjere afektivnoga intenziteta i triju stilova suočavanja sa stresom. Rezultati pokazuju da je suočavanje usmjereno na emocije pozitivno povezano sa svim mjerama afektivnoga intenziteta bez obzira na hedonski ton, a u manjoj mjeri to vrijedi i za suočavanje izbjegavanjem. Suočavanje usmjereno na problem pokazuje diferenciraniji uzorak povezanosti s mjerama afektivnoga intenziteta, pozitivno s mjerama afektivnoga intenziteta pozitivnog hedonskog tona, a negativno s mjerama negativnog hedonskog tona. U drugom istraživanju, koje je provedeno na 71 sudioniku, korištena je ista mjera stilova suočavanja, dok su mjere intenziteta i varijabiliteta pozitivnoga i negativnoga afekta derivirane iz dnevnih procjena raspoloženja. Rezultati su pokazali da jedino intenzitet negativnoga afekta značajno predviđa suočavanje izbjegavanjem. Nalazi su komentirani u kontekstu različitih funkcija stilova suočavanja pri regulaciji afekta, a navedene su i neke njihove praktične implikacije.

Published: January 2025

Pozitivni učinci redovite tjelesne aktivnosti odražavaju se na brojne biokemijske i fiziološke mehanizme ljudi, a isto tako na razinu anksioznosti, distresa i depresivnosti. Uvedene restriktivne mjere zbog pandemije COVID-a-19 negativno su utjecale na dinamiku tjelesne aktivnosti i mentalno zdravlje ljudi diljem svijeta. Stoga je cilj ovog istraživanja bio ispitati Interakcijski učinak između tjelesne aktivnosti i dobi na distres kod djece i adolescenata. Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno ukupno 2404 učenika i učenica prosječne dobi od 15 godina. Primijenjena je Skala depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa (DASS-21) te su prikupljeni podaci o razini tjelesne aktivnosti. Rezultati dvosmjerne analize varijance uputili su na značajan glavni učinak tjelesne aktivnosti i dobi te njihovu međusobno značajnu interakciju za depresivnost, anksioznost i stres.

Fractionally charged particles at the energy frontier: The SM gauge group and one-form global symmetry
Authors: Koren Seth , Martin Adam
Published: January 2025

The observed Standard Model is consistent with the existence of vector-like species with electric charge a multiple of e/6e/6. The discovery of a fractionally charged particle would provide nonperturbative information about Standard Model physics, and furthermore rule out some or all of the minimal theories of unification. We discuss the phenomenology of such particles and focus particularly on current LHC constraints, for which we reinterpret various searches to bound a variety of fractionally charged representations. We emphasize that in some circumstances the collider bounds are surprisingly low or nonexistent, which highlights the discovery potential for these species which have distinctive signatures and important implications. We additionally offer pedagogical discussions of the representation theory of gauge groups with different global structures, and separately of the modern framework of Generalized Global Symmetries, either of which serves to underscore the bottom-up importance of these searches.

Published: January 2025

We study the spin-1/2 XX chain with a modulated Gamma interaction (GI), which results from the superposition of uniform and staggered Gamma terms. We diagonalize the Hamiltonian of the model exactly using the Fermionization technique. We then probe the energy gap and identify the gapped and gapless regions. We also examine the staggered chiral, staggered nematic and dimer order parameters to determine the different phases of the ground state phase diagram with their respective long-range orders. Our findings indicate that the model undergoes first-order, second-order, gapless-gapless, and gapped-gapped phase transitions.

Anemia is one of the most common hematological disorder among male and female in the worldwide. If left untreated, it can cause serious morbidity and leads to life threatening. Hence, the current study was aimed to evaluatethe occurrence of anemia between adolescent in Coimbatore Medical College students. The cross-sectional study was done in the Multi Disciplinary Research Unit, Coimbatore Medical College and Hospital, Coimbatore, India for a period of six monthsfrom November 2022 to April 2023. The given workwas based on hematological profile of 100 adults (age 17-21 years). A blood sample by veinpuncture was derived in an EDTA vacutainer. The sample was used to analyze WBC, RBC, platelets, Hb, PCV and MCVusing hematology analyzer Sysmex XN 1000.Out of 100 peoples, males were 16% and females were 84%.According to distribution of age, maximum adults were in 17-18 years (78%) and minimum adults were in 19-21 years (22%). The level of hemoglobin of those adolescents range between12-16 g/dl (42%). Moderate anemia cases were 37% (10-12 g/dl). 12% cases were present in 8-10 g/dl. Whereas, severe anemia cases were found to be 9% (<8 g/dl). In the level of RBC count the maximum case of adolescents shows the RBC count ranges between 4.01-6 millions/mm3 were 75%. In the level of WBC count the maximum cases of adolescents shows the WBC count ranges between 4500-11000 cells/cu mm were 89%. In the level of platelet count, maximum cases showed grade I and IV thrombocytopenia with 46% and 36%. In the present study, the maximum cases are in the range<35-48% PCV value shows 77% cases and in the level of MCV counts 75-96 fl were 83% cases. MCV value <75% were found to be 8% cases and the level of MCV count >96 fl were 9% cases. From the above results it was clearly indicated that hematological parameters were better among 17-18 years of age group when compared to 19-21 years.

FROM SAMPLING TO PURIFICATION: METHODOLOGIES AND TECHNIQUES FOR EVALUATION OF SILOXANES IN BIOGAS. Biogas has emerged as an important source of clean and renewable energy, with its energy viability dependent on purity grade. Primarily composed by methane and carbon dioxide, biogas can also contain nitrogen, water vapor, oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, hydrocarbons and siloxanes. Regarding methane, all other components are considered contaminants, with volatile methylsiloxanes (VMSs) being the major challenge in terms of control and removal. VMSs are commonly found in personal care products and industrial applications, and their presence is highly detrimental to biogas energy generation equipment by forming silica deposits that cause fouling and damage, reducing operational efficiency and system longevity. In this context, three topics are crucial: (i) sampling techniques (bags, gas cylinders, canisters, adsorbent tubes, and impingers); (ii) detection and quantification methods for VMSs, highlighting gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry; and (iii) biogas purification/removal strategies (adsorption, absorption, refrigeration/condensation, biological degradation, and membrane separation). This review explores the methodologies involved in these topics, presenting literature research approaches and their effectiveness regarding siloxanes, contributing to biogas applications.

EUCLIDES DA CUNHA E A INTERPRETAÇÃO DA FORMAÇÃO HISTÓRICO-TERRITORIAL DO BRASIL
Authors: De Morais Hugo Arruda , Melquiades Souza da Silva Alyne Karollayne , Noême Martins de Araújo
Published: January 2025

Com o objetivo de recolocar como a racionalidade e subjetividade em Euclides de Cunha permitiu uma interpretação da formação histórico-territorial do Brasil, o presente artigo retoma uma questão fundamental para a reflexão sobre a importância de escritos “não-geográficos” dos séculos XIX e XX para a compreensão da problemática das disparidades territoriais no Brasil. A consulta, análise e reflexão de obras como Os Sertões e À Margem da História constituiu o caminho metodológico escolhido para reconstruir a visão sobre a formação histórica e geográfica da nação. A conclusão geral à qual se chegou traduz-se, principalmente, na ideia de que Euclides da Cunha não somente estabeleceu uma definição do que seria o Brasil, mas também, apresentou uma interpretação das disparidades territoriais.
