Published: February 2025

The objective of this research is to explore the utilization of natural materials as a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional cement-based construction components. By focusing on the development of biocompatible plaster, crafted from gypsum, cow dung, guar gum powder, citric acid, and water, this project aims to achieve a significant milestone in environmentally conscious construction. A critical aspect of our research involved determining the proportion of materials essential for an optimal plaster mix through rigorous experimentation and testing. These foundational elements were instrumental in our estimation and costing analysis, providing a robust framework for budgetary projections and financial planning. Through a comprehensive approach, we provided accurate financial projections for implementing biocompatible plaster on a 100 square meter area, considering both material and labor factors. This holistic analysis underscores our commitment to sustainable construction practices and informed decision-making in construction material selection and application. This research showcases the potential of harnessing nature's elements to create robust and biocompatible building materials, setting a noteworthy precedent for greener and more responsible construction in the future.

Authors: Roberto Jr C. Saing  , Reje Ann B. Pacarat  , Leneth Pearl S. Pingot
Published: February 2025

Microfinance institutions are vital financial services providers to underserved communities through economic empowerment and poverty relief. Nevertheless, the sustainability of these institutions depends on the ability and behavior of borrowers to repay them. One hundred seventy-six (176) respondents who availed of loans in microfinance institutions in Boston, Davao Oriental, Philippines, were surveyed for this research. The main findings suggested that borrowers who are married (85.2%), have few dependents peak earning, are between 31 and 40 years old (39.8%), achieved high educational levels (secondary 48.3%, tertiary 5.1%), save constantly (75%), and own business assets (51.1%) may have better potential for repaying loans. In contrast, those who earn little (<10k/month) at 70.5% might be unable to repay their debts when they become due. Moreover, the respondents had an exceptionally positive attitude toward payment, including timeliness, with a mean score of 4.26, credit investigation score of 4.03, ease of payment score of 3.95, and willingness to pay scores of 3.87. Furthermore, the significance of borrowers' aptitudes and attitudes based on their demographic profiles: educational level, type of savings, and level of income (for timeliness) significantly influenced borrowers' attitudes, while factors like marital status, number of dependents, level of income (at ease of payment, willingness and credit investigation), age, and type of assets did not have a significant impact.

Published: February 2025

This in-vitro study explores the cytotoxic properties of the linagliptin-metformin combination on cervical cancer cells and examines the synergistic interaction between the two drugs. An MTT assay was used to explore the anti-cancer effects of the linagliptin-metformin mixture on a cervical cancer cell line (HeLa cell line) across 24 and 72-hour incubation periods. The concentrations of metformin, linagliptin, and their combination ranged from 0.1 to 1000 µg/ml. while the concentrations in the mixture were kept at fifty percentage of the individually used drug. The study included an estimated combination index value (CI) and the dosage reduction index (DRI) to ascertain the possibility of a synergistic effect between combined drugs and mixture safety. study finding exhibited that all studied drugs- metformin, linagliptin, and their combined mixture- inhibited the growth of cervical cancer cells with a superior efficacy of the mixture over individual drugs. Inhibition patterns of the drugs were directly proportional to the drug's concentration and the incubation time. The combination index finding revealed that the mixture's cytotoxic effect of metformin and linagliptin was synergistic. The dose reduction index value revealed that lower drug concentrations were required in the combination mixture than when used individually indicating a greater cytotoxic potential of the mixture. The study findings of MTT, CI, and DRI indicate that the mixture is an effective, safer, and promising anticancer therapy for cervical cancer.
Conclusion: This study explores the cytotoxic potential of metformin and linagliptin individually and in combination. The greater cytotoxic potential of the drugs in combination highlights their lower effective concentrations, paving the way for further research on using these drugs for effective cancer treatment.

Authors: Forero-Ríos María Paula , Salcedo-Miranda Diego Fernando , Bernal-Santos Felipe , Silva Álvaro
Published: February 2025

Introducción. El abdomen agudo es una causa frecuente de ingreso a urgencias. Entre sus diagnósticos diferenciales se deben considerar causas poco comunes, como la torsión omental. Presentamos dos casos de pacientes con torsión omental primaria como causa de abdomen agudo, atendidos en un centro de tercer nivel en la ciudad de Bogotá, D.C., Colombia.
Casos clínicos. El primero fue un paciente de 30 años de edad, con antecedente de apendicectomía, quien consultó por cuadro clínico de dolor abdominal, asociado a náuseas; al examen físico presentaba deshidratación, taquicardia, dolor a la palpación en flanco e hipocondrio derechos y signos de abdomen agudo. La segunda fue una paciente de 71 años, sin antecedentes de importancia, quien consultó por dos días de dolor abdominal agudo generalizado, sin otra sintomatología. Al ingreso se encontraba taquicárdica, con dolor abdominal severo a la palpación en flanco y fosa ilíaca derechos y signos de irritación peritoneal.
Resultados. Ambos pacientes fueron llevados a cirugía de urgencia por abdomen agudo. En el primero, por laparoscopia se identificó una torsión omental primaria debida a un defecto anatómico del omento mayor, con necrosis. En la segunda, por laparotomía se halló torsión primaria de omento mayor. Se practicó omentectomía parcial en los dos, con evolución postoperatoria satisfactoria.
Conclusión. La torsión omental es una patología importante pero infrecuente, que debe ser considerada como diagnóstico diferencial en los pacientes con abdomen agudo, especialmente en adultos. Representa un desafío diagnóstico para médicos y cirujanos generales y existen muy pocos casos reportados en la literatura.

THE BELARUSIAN LANGUAGE AS A DETERMINING FACTOR IN THE BELARUSIAN NATIONAL IDENTITY FORMATION AND NATIONAL MOVEMENT IN THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY
Authors: Korbut Viktar
Published: February 2025

The determining factor in the formation of the Belarusian national identity and movement in the early 20th century was the Belarusian language. Even though it was considered only a dialect of the Russian language by the authorities of the Russian Empire and part of the local so-called Western Russian intelligentsia, for the pioneers of the Belarusian movement, who came primarily from the Polish-speaking nobility of the Roman Catholic faith, the language of the bulk of the Belarusian-speaking, predominantly peasant Orthodox, population represented value in itself, as a feature that distinguishes Belarusians from both Russians and Poles. This idea first became widespread in the Belarusian language on the pages of the first Belarusian-language newspapers, Nasza Dola and Nasza Niwa, the publication of which was initiated by Jan Łuckiewicz in 1906 in Vilna (Vilnius). These publications appeared under the conditions of liberalisation of the press and public life during the revolution of 1905-1907, which was a factor that accelerated the development of the Belarusian national movement...
Arturo Ardao el filósofo historiador de las ideas: Pensamiento y Obra

Published: February 2025

Siempre que aparece un libro sobre el pensamiento de algún filósofo latinoamericano hay que agradecer de todo corazón a los que se esfuerzan por mantener aún vigente este tipo de producciones. Pensar nuestra región, empezando por el propio país para luego extrapolar las ideas hacia un concepto continental denominado “Latinoamérica” es una actividad a la que se dedicó el propio Arturo Ardao, filósofo que constituye el tema principal de este libro.La búsqueda del “ser latinoamericano” fue un problema que preocupó a Ardao y es un tema que hasta la fecha provoca reflexiones y pensamientos de variada índole. No obstante, el aporte de Ardao se basó en considerar que el término “Latinoamérica” tuvo motivaciones políticas integracionistas desde sus orígenes. Es más, su contenido genético semántico estuvo cargado de una clara oposición a la imposición de intereses coloniales extranjeros. Normalmente, cualquiera pensaría que dicho término es descriptivo, sin embargo, Ardao nos mostró que el origen de tal vocablo está ligado a una definición persuasiva que, a pesar de la enorme variedad de pueblos que viven en esta parte del mundo, buscaba unificar y reunir bajo una sola voluntad la lucha contra ciertos intereses imperialistas.Según Ardao, es importante considerar el contexto cuando se trata de entender cómo las filosofías logran instalarse en distintos lugares a pesar de no ser originarias de esos entornos. Ardao fue consciente de esto, por eso, para este pensador la posibilidad de que exista una filosofía latinoamericana propia se manifiesta en el hecho de que podemos estar a favor o en contra, mediante razones y propuestas, de tales o cuales ideas filosóficas. Precisamente, esa fue la tónica de aquella obra de nuestro pensador en la que analizó el modo en que se manifestaron las corrientes del Espiritualismo y del Positivismo en América Latina. Resulta interesante constatar que, en realidad, dicha oposición proviene de un debate muy propio de las academias y universidades europeas que, en pleno siglo XIX, discutían en torno a la naturaleza del conocimiento y el papel de la religión y la ciencia en la sociedad.
Affect, Not Ideology: The Heterogeneous Effects of Partisan Cues on Policy Support
Authors: Fuller Sam , de la Cerda Nicolás , Rametta Jack T.
Published: February 2025

How do individuals process political information? What behavioral mechanisms drive partisan bias? In this paper, we evaluate the extent to which partisan bias is driven by affect or ideology in a three-pronged approach informed by both psychological theories and recent advances in methodology. First, we use a novel survey experiment designed to disentangle the competing mechanisms of ideology and partisan affect. Second, we leverage multidimensional scaling methods for latent variable estimation for both partisan affect and ideology. Third, we employ a principled machine learning method, causal forest, to detect and estimate heterogeneous treatment effects. Contrary to previous literature, we find that affect is the sole moderator of partisan cueing processes, and only for out-party cues. These findings not only contribute to the literature on political behavior, but underscore the importance of careful measurement and robust subgroup analysis.
Controlled Release Tests Results for the Methane Lidar Camera

Published: February 2025

Methane emissions detection using continuous monitors enables round-the-clock monitoring to quickly identify emissions from oil and gas facilities. The SLB methane lidar camera participated in Stanford University’s 2024 Methane Controlled Release Campaign to characterize its performance at detecting, localizing, and quantifying methane emissions from different sources. The camera successfully detected and localized emissions as low as 0.3 kg/h as well as super emitters as high as 310 kg/h. The camera detected all but one emission greater than 1 kg/h, resulting in a limit of detection at 90% confidence of 1.5 kg/h. In addition, the camera localized all emissions to the correct piece of equipment or to the adjacent piece of equipment, including many releases where the camera’s vantage point was suboptimal. The emission rates measured by the camera showed a systematic underestimation compared to the ground truth results. Such an underestimation is unexpected and inconsistent with the camera’s performance in previous studies. In this paper, we perform a root cause analysis to identify the cause of the underestimation. The analysis concludes that the measured methane signal was accurate and that the underestimation was caused by a wind shadow that resulted in the camera’s anemometer systematically underestimating the wind speed. Reprocessing the methane lidar camera’s data using an on-facility anemometer not affected by a wind shadow instead of the camera’s anemometer resulted in quantification that was within a factor of two 78% of the time and a systematic bias of 11%. The 90% limit of detection, the fraction of results within a factor of two, and the systematic bias (using the on-facility anemometer), are superior to any scanning/imaging system at METEC 2023 and 2024 ADED programs. As a result of this study, improvements in the camera installation workflow have been introduced to avoid wind shadows in the future.

Background: Children born very preterm (VPT) are at high risk for attention problems. This study’s purpose was to describe the Conners Kiddie Continuous Performance Test (K-CPT) assessment in children born VPT, including rates of clinically elevated scores, intra-individual change over time, and associations between K-CPT scores and parent reported attention problems.Methods: We studied 305 children from a multi-site study of children born VPT who completed at least one K-CPT assessment at age 5, 6, and/or 7 years. Parent-reported ADHD symptoms and diagnosis were also collected. We calculated K-CPT completion rates, mean scores, and rates of clinically elevated scores at each timepoint. Linear mixed models examined change over time in K-CPT scores. Correlations and generalized linear models investigated associations between K-CPT scores and ADHD symptoms and diagnoses.Results: K-CPT scores showed expected age-related improvements from age 5 to 7, with significant intra-individual variability. Up to 1/3 of children had clinically elevated attention problems and another 1/3 had subclinical elevations. K-CPT scores were modestly correlated with parent-rated ADHD symptoms and children with a parent-reported ADHD diagnosis performed worse on nearly all K-CPT metrics.Conclusion: Performance-based measures like the K-CPT can be useful for research and clinical practice in VPT populations.

Love of neighbor holds a prominent place in ethical and theological thinking across many cultures and world religious traditions. While arguably central to the promotion of societal wellbeing and human flourishing, little has been done on its empirical assessment. We present a measure of love of neighbor, grounded in a broader conceptual framework concerning interpersonal love, and examine its psychometric properties using cognitive interviews and analyses from datasets from numerous countries, cultures, and contexts. We present evidence for two distinct facets: unitive and contributory neighbor love. We discuss distinctions of unitive and contributory neighbor love from compassionate love, which might be conceived of as contributory neighbor love within the context of suffering. Psychometric properties of the measure concerning consistency, reliability, internal structure, relations between indicators, and measurement invariance are presented. The measure lays the foundation for future empirical study of the distribution, causes, and consequences of love of neighbor.
Individual differences in autism-like traits are associated with reduced goal emulation in a computational model of observational learning

Published: February 2025

One's ability to infer the goals and intentions of others is crucial for social interactions, and such social capabilities are broadly distributed across individuals. Autism-like traits (i.e., traits associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)) have been associated with reduced social inference, yet the underlying computational principles and social cognitive processes are not well characterized. Here we tackle this problem by investigating inference during social learning through computational modeling in two large cross-sectional samples of adult participants from the general population (N1=943, N2=352). Autism-like traits were extracted and isolated from other associated symptom dimensions through a factor analysis of the Social Responsiveness Scale. Participants completed an observational learning task that allowed quantifying the tradeoff between two social learning strategies: imitation (repeat the observed partner’s most recent action) and emulation (infer the observed partner’s goal). Autism-like traits were associated with reduced observational learning specifically through reduced emulation (but not imitation), revealing difficulties in social goal inference. This association held even when controlling for other model parameters (e.g., decision noise, heuristics), and was specifically related to social difficulties in autism but not social anxiety. The findings, replicated in an additional sample, provide a powerfully specific mechanistic hypothesis for social learning challenges in ASD, employing a computational psychiatry approach that could be applied to other disorders.
Effectiveness of Video Modeling Intervention for Children with Disabilities: A Meta-Analysis of Single-Case Research Design Studies
Authors: Takahashi Ayaka
Published: February 2025

This meta-analysis examined the intervention effects of video modeling as an educational tool for students with disabilities. There is currently little consensus on the conditions under which video modeling is most effective. Using non-overlap metrics as effect indices, the current meta-analysis of video modeling interventions was conducted by synthesizing single-case research studies published between 2013 and 2019. A systematic literature search using two databases (ERIC and PsycINFO) and screening based on the inclusion criteria yielded 48 studies for analysis. Calculation of the four non-overlap indices (percentage of non-overlapping data, non-overlapping of all pairs, improvement rate difference, and Tau-U) suggested that video modeling interventions were moderately to largely effective in most studies. The effectiveness score was greater for videos that included adults as models. Furthermore, effectiveness scores can be enhanced when video modeling is used in conjunction with reinforcement strategies or implemented as part of an intervention package.

The adoption of English Medium Instruction (EMI) in Nepalese community schools has played a significant role due to its implications for global competitiveness, socio-cultural calls, local cultural sharing, and promotion. This article essentially explores the perceptions, practices, and challenges associated with EMI in community schools in Nepal, focusing on its implementation in subjects such as science, mathematics, and computer science linked to school education and the global job market. Employing a phenomenological research design, data were gathered through in-depth interviews and field observations with students, teachers, School Management Committees (SMCs), parents, and local government representatives. The findings of this study reveal an urgent need for EMI in community schools due to pressure created by institutional schools and globalized socio-economic realities. It also discloses the bilingual approach to EMI due to limited English proficiency among teachers and students, and highlights the need for effective teacher training programmes to address pedagogical and linguistic challenges. Emphasizing a context-specific approach to EMI implementation in Nepal, the study concludes with recommendations for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders to adopt informed and effective strategies for effective EMI implementation while balancing global aspirations with local realities.
