The existence of material law is very important in a social life. With the existence of material law all objects can be regulated so as to create a life that respects each other regarding material possessions and power over their owners. Of course material rights are based on statutory provisions so that they are binding. So that its existence provides things that need to be obeyed by the community in order to achieve a welfare state or a welfare state in accordance with the ideals of the state. With this basis, the principle of individuality can certainly be realized in society through material law because it is based on existing laws. The effectiveness of the principle of individuality can be realized on the basis of the existence of applicable laws and regulations, as stated in Law Number 12 of 2011. With the existence of applicable material law, it certainly has a full effect on people's lives, where people must obey and submit and comply with all rules. law especially in the implementation of statutory regulations that have been stipulated. So that the enforcement of the law of objects based on the principle of individuality can run in accordance with existing provisions. This principle makes it easier for the community to claim their ownership rights to an object because according to this principle the rights to objects can be determined individually. The right to own an object means the right to enjoy an object freely and regarding this property right is very necessary for the community so that problems do not occur in the future. The research contribution is expected that these guarantees will later become two parts, namely material (material) guarantees in the form of absolute rights to an object and can be maintained and transferred and immaterial (individual) guarantees which only cause direct relationships to certain individuals. This research method uses normative juridical, using a journal literacy approach using materials in the form of legal principles, related basic laws as primary or principal legal materials in completing this research. The systematic application of object law based on the principle of individuality can be carried out because it has been determined and ratified by the legislature with the approval of the president, of course.
Magic Formulae and Women’s History: Authorship, Agency, and Gender in the Aramaic Incantation Bowls
Authors: Manekin-Bamberger Avigail
Published: February 2025

Abstract: Aramaic incantation bowls dated to the fifth to seventh centuries C.E. contain valuable details about the daily lives, hardships, and fears of named individuals. Despite the bowls’ potential to provide novel insights, previous studies on the women of the bowls have primarily focused on the possibility of female authorship. These studies often disregarded the poetic structure of the incantation bowls, which consist of fixed textual units that recur repeatedly throughout the corpus. This essay argues that the formulaic nature of the bowls challenges the argument of female authorship. Additionally, it suggests that this same formulaic nature can be used to explore new avenues of research on women and gender in Late Antiquity. This involves focusing on common ailments and mishaps related to women, frequent accusations against female adversaries, and aspects of demonology that reflect male and female perspectives alongside gendered social values. The results of this study may be useful for further research on women’s lives and social values in Late Antiquity, as well as for reframing the search for women’s voices and agency in this period.
Mothers and Daughters, Trauma and Textile in Phyllis Alesia Perry’s Stigmata
Authors: Wardi Anissa , Wardi-Zonna Katherine
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT: This paper considers Phyllis Alesia Perry’s use of art therapy as a modality of healing in Stigmata , a novel that examines intergenerational trauma resulting from the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The protagonist, Lizzie, is not merely beset with visions of her foremothers’ pain but shares consciousness with her grandmother and great-great-grandmother. As a result of episodes in which Lizzie experiences the trauma of her ancestors’ lives, she is tormented, both in body and spirit. Her brutalized body bears witness to the wounds of history that have yet to be healed. This essay examines the neurobiology of trauma and the therapeutic value of expressive arts. Seminal psychotherapeutic theorists have long highlighted the importance of artistic endeavors in therapeutic treatment. In Perry’s novel, conventional psychiatric interventions have limited benefits; it is Lizzie’s engagement in textile art that begins her journey to healing. Through quilting, Lizzie represents a maternal history and transmogrifies pain into art, trauma into narrative.
Olga Tokarczuk’s (Female) Odysseys
Authors: Marinova Margarita
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT: Seen by many as the Ur-story of travel and return to the home in western literature, the tale of the Greek hero Odysseus has inspired hundreds of retellings in different genres and languages across the globe, but they all encode the traveler as a male adventurer who crosses boundaries and penetrates spaces. In contrast, my essay takes a close look at a female literary re-accentuation of the original myth by the 2018 Nobel Prize winner, the Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk, in order to investigate the significant disparities between male and female adventure stories and explore how female re-conceptualizations of the Odyssey unsettle the traditional symbolic order through writing that is both pluralistic, multi-voiced, and universal, all-inclusive. Ultimately, I argue that Tokarczuk’s creative refashioning of one of the foundational myths of western civilization in her novel Flights , constitutes a fresh feminist critique of modern subjectivity and a bold proclamation of the need to embrace a new type of a model traveler: the “feminist nomad,” who is much better suited to the “becoming-world” of twenty-first-century cosmopolitanism.

An experiment was conducted during 2021 and 2022 in Anbil Dharmalingam Agricultural College and Research Institute, TNAU, Tiruchirappalli, to know the overall allelopathic impact of horse purslane on the germination and seedling growth of rice, ragi, maize, green gram and sunflower. A Completely Randomised Design (CRD) was used to test 6 treatments, including a control and 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% concentrations of horse purslane whole-plant extract, with 4 replications. Seed germination and subsequent growth and development of selected crops were negatively affected by the extract of horse purslane. The minimum germination was recorded in 5% horse purslane extract, while maximum germination was recorded in control. A consistent decline in germination percentage was observed with increasing extract concentrations. The extract of horse purslane significantly reduced the root length, shoot length, seedling length and seedling vigour index (SVI) of the tested crops. The highest seedling mortality rates were observed at the 5% extract concentration, with values of 83.8%, 78.9%, 47.3%, 51.6% and 81.3% for rice, ragi, maize, sunflower and green gram respectively. The study indicates that horse purslane needs to be controlled effectively in the cropped fields, otherwise, it could reduce the growth and development of field crops. The allelochemicals in horse purslane present significant opportunities for further research on their impact on other weed species, which could contribute to the development of effective weed management strategies in field crops.

Published: February 2025

Traditional sowing methods like direct seeding may not always be optimal, particularly for unfamiliar species, necessitating tailored approaches for different seed types and qualities. Thus, the delivery of essential materials along with seed necessitates time and cost saving which ultimately enhances overall seed performance in the planting. Some of the novel seed delivery techniques for agricultural and environmental restoration include seed pellets for mechanized planting, incorporates the seed pellets with biofertilizers improves soil microbiome health and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers. Seed balls for afforestation to promote agroforestry, pollinator support and soil regeneration in degraded soil, seed cube for vegetable gardening and reduction in usage of land and increasing food security, seed mats for ensuring uniform seed distribution and vegetation restoration, seed tapes in precision planting and drone seeding for afforestation are gaining momentum. Similarly, it also looks at the possible uses of seed capsules for delivery of inputs along with seed. These seed delivery systems like seed pellet, seed capsule, seed tape, seed mat and drone seedling which reduces the seed wastage by 20 %, 40 %, 50 %, 60 % and 10 % respectively. These techniques seek to increase seed vigour, seedling survival rates, plant physiology and offer practical, affordable alternatives for crop production and land restoration. Therefore, this review emphasizes the variety of materials and methods that the system employs for agricultural sustainability.
Age‐related differences in agility are related to both muscle strength and corticospinal tract function

Published: February 2025

Agility is essential for “healthy” aging, but neuromuscular contributions to age‐related differences in agility are not entirely understood. We recruited healthy (n = 32) non‐athletes (30–84 years) to determine: (1) if aging is associated with agility and (2) whether muscle strength or corticospinal tract function predicts agility. We assessed muscle strength via a validated knee extension test, corticospinal tract function via transcranial magnetic stimulation, and agility via spatiotemporal values (i.e., leg length‐adjusted hop length and hop length variability) collected during a novel propulsive bipedal hopping (agility) task on an electronic walkway. Pearson correlation revealed aging is associated with leg length‐adjusted hop length (r = −0.671, p < 0.001) and hop length variability (r = 0.423, p = 0.016). Further, leg length‐adjusted hop length and hop length variability correlated with quadriceps strength (r = 0.581, p < 0.001; r = −0.364, p = 0.048) and corticospinal tract function (r = −0.384, p = 0.039; r = 0.478, p = 0.007). However, hierarchical regressions indicated that, when controlling for sex, muscle strength only predicts leg length‐adjusted hop length (R2 = 0.345, p = 0.002), whereas corticospinal tract function only predicts hop length variability (R2 = 0.239, p = 0.014). Therefore, weaker quadriceps decrease the distance hopped, and deteriorating corticospinal tract function increases variability in hop length.

Glucagon is secreted from the pancreatic alpha cells and regulates not only hepatic glucose production, but also hepatic lipid and amino acid metabolism. Thus, glucagon provides a switch from hepatic glucose and lipid storage towards lipid and amino acid breakdown fueling glucose production during fasting. However, the effects of genetic deletion of the glucagon receptor on lipid metabolism are unclear. We therefore assessed parameters of lipid metabolism in fasted and non‐fasted male and female mice with permanent whole‐body deletion of the glucagon receptor (Gcgr−/− mice). To investigate whether Gcgr−/− mice tolerated a diet promoting metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and steatosis, we fed female Gcgr−/− mice the Gubra Amylin Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (GAN) diet and high‐fat diet (HFD), respectively. We found that non‐fasted Gcgr−/− mice fed standard chow showed hypercholesterolemia and increased liver fat (borderline significant in non‐fasted male Gcgr−/− mice, but significant in the remaining groups). In the fasted state these changes were insignificant due to fasting‐induced steatosis. When challenged with a GAN diet and HFD, female Gcgr−/− mice were prone to steatosis and dyslipidemia but resistant to weight gain. Taken together, our data highlight glucagon as an important physiological regulator of not just glucose, but also hepatic lipid metabolism.

Authors: Alotaibi Ahad , Chatwin Chris , Birch Phil
Published: February 2025

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with image processing and autonomous flight capabilities in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) represents a significant advancement in modern surveillance and tracking systems. This research explores a novel method for locating vehicles with pre-identified license plate numbers through an AI-enhanced framework. The proposed system captures vehicle plate details and stores them for subsequent comparison. Autonomous UAVs are deployed within a predefined area to capture high-resolution images of vehicle plates, which are then processed and analysed using advanced AI algorithms designed for optical character recognition and machine learning. Recognized plate numbers are matched against pre-stored entries in real-time. Upon identification of a match, the system accurately determines and displays the vehicle’s location, providing precise geospatial data. This approach demonstrates high precision and efficiency in vehicle tracking, significantly improving upon conventional surveillance techniques, which often rely on manual monitoring and static camera setups. The AI-driven system not only enhances the accuracy of vehicle identification but also reduces the time and human resources required. This study also explores the broader implications and potential applications of this advanced tracking system across various sectors. In law enforcement, it enables real-time tracking of stolen vehicles or suspects. In traffic management, it assists in monitoring and managing vehicle flow and enforcing parking regulations. In security monitoring, it enhances perimeter security by identifying unauthorized vehicles in restricted areas. This research underscores the system’s robustness and adaptability in various practical applications, marking a significant step forward in the field of automated surveillance and vehicle tracking.

In this research article, a developed approach was introduced for the design and optimization of small wind turbine blades based on computational tools such as FAST and QBlade to address challenges in aerodynamic analysis, structural integrity, and power output prediction. A key focus is on optimizing airfoil selection based on lift-to-drag ratios, with the NACA4412 airfoil emerging as the most suitable choice for enhancing turbine performance. The optimization process includes a linearization approach for adjusting the chord and twist angles of the blade, which proved beneficial in streamlining the design. This approach led to notable improvements in the power coefficient across a range of rotational speeds, achieving an average increase of up to 8% and boosting power generation at a wind speed by 6.38%. These findings underscore the effectiveness of a targeted, systematic design optimization in enhancing turbine efficiency and output.

The analysis of utterances with imperative forms in Hungarian health-related fake news
Authors: Árvay Anett , Nagy C. Katalin , Szécsényi Tibor , Németh T. Enikő
Published: February 2025

This paper aims to contribute to the linguistic detecting of disinformation by providing a corpus-based form-to-function study of Hungarian health-related fake news. It starts from the hypothesis that there is a difference between fake and real news regarding the use of directives as a potential tool of exerting pressure on readers. The most direct and strongest strategy of performing directives in Hungarian is the use of a verb with an imperative suffix. However, the same suffix can also appear without any directive function in subjunctive structures. In order to determine which function utterances containing verbs with an imperative ending have, a manual pragmatic annotation was carried out in our MedCollect corpus. Three major groups of utterances were distinguished: (i) utterances with directive function, (ii) utterances with discourse function, and (iii) utterances without any directive or discourse function. The results support our hypothesis that fake news contains a significantly higher number of directives performed using this direct strategy due to a higher motivation of placing pressure on readers.
Amazônias brasileira e peruana: entre a luta pela terra e a questão ambiental (1960-2020)
Authors: RIBEIRO Vanderlei Vazelesk
Published: February 2025

In this paper we propose a comparative study of the colonization processes carried out in the Brazilian and Peruvian Amazon from the 1960s onwards and their consequences. In both countries we have the notion, developed by regional and national elites, that there were demographic voids to fill and that it was necessary to occupy them, whether with national or even foreign capital. Brazil's “Integrate so as not to integrate” or the “Conquest of Peru by the Peruvians” intensified with the rise of the respective military regimes in 1964 (Brazil) and 1968 (Peru). We will discuss the colonization projects, the struggle between settlers and land grabbers in the Brazilian case and the re-emergence of indigenous land struggle issues in both societies. In addition, we will analyze the emergence of environmental issues, since the conflicts over territories in both countries are strongly linked to the notion that local populations outline of defending nature as a possibility for maintaining their living conditions.
Fernando Ferrari, o Partido Trabalhista Brasileiro e a reforma agrária nas sesmarias do Rio Grande do Sul (1947-1948)
Authors: LERRER D. F.
Published: February 2025

The research aimed to verify whether the agrarian question was already present in the early years of Fer-nando Ferrari's work, a leader of the Brazilian Labor Party (PTB), in his debut as a state deputy in Rio Grande do Sul, between 1947 and 1950. Through a bibliographical survey, research into his speeches and an interview with a journalist who was his election campaigner, the article explains the significance of Fer-nando Ferrari within his party, presents his conception of agrarian reform and the context of the PTB in Rio Grande do Sul, the seat of its main directorate. It concludes that agrarian reform entered the debates of this legislature, and Ferrari himself presented a bill on the subject, and always associated it with food produc-tion. Through the young man's early career, the institutional role of the Labor Party in the dispute over land reform in Brazil is revealed, even at the beginning of the democratic interregnum of 1946-1964.
From substantive pluralism to procedural pluralism: a proposal beyond analytical questions for Portuguese- speaking African realities
Authors: RODA A. A. R.
Published: February 2025

At first, the approach of this article is linked to the various concepts of legal pluralism, which illustrate the theoretical differences between high and low density, weak and strong, independent and autonomous, prescriptive and descriptive pluralism. On the other hand, the article seeks to understand the manifestation of legal and sociological pluralism, which in Africa has a strict relationship with the models of colonial domination that were present in Portuguese and English-speaking countries, in which certain models conditioned the regression of the recognition of the normative plurality of these states, through a colonial positive theory, imposed without assessing the sociological and cultural framework of the African peoples. Finally, the article presents a conception of an adjective pluralism, also known as procedural pluralism, which involves a series of structures for the formation of an institutional and procedural plurality that is capable of maintaining links with functional elements of the traditional justice system, with the aim of a systemic and peaceful dialogue that feeds back into the formal state system, especially in the jurisdictional sphere.
Metaconstitucionalismo, questões humanitárias e dignidade da pessoa humana na era pós-moderna
Authors: GÓES Guilherme Sandoval , SILVA C. A. L.
Published: February 2025

This academic paper aims to establish scientific dialogues between the concepts of metaconstitutionalism, humanitarian issues and the dignity of the person, considering the postmodern statehood scenario, which is still under construction and highly complex. It is based on an examination of the importance of metaconstitutionalism for both International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and International Human Rights Law (IHRL), in its cosmopolitan aspect of the legal regime for the protection of human dignity. Thus, based on a deductive methodology, we start from the premise that metaconstitutionalism is the main point of convergence of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law for post-modern conflicts. The conclusion is that the guarantee of a dignified life on a planetary scale finds its greatest obstacle in the lack of a Kantian-inspired metaconstitutional legal system that transcends the constitutional protection of sovereign states.
Opioid-sparing Anesthesia Significantly Improves Early Postoperative Recovery after Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Dou Dou , Wang Lu , Yuan Su , Jia Yuan , Yan Fuxia
Published: February 2025

Background:

Mounting evidence indicates that opioid-sparing anesthesia (OSA) decreases opioid-related adverse events. Our goal was to determine whether OSA might improve initial recovery after cardiac surgery.

Methods:

Data from patients who underwent elective heart surgery between July 2023 and July 2024 were analyzed. Eligible patients were divided into an OSA group or a control group. Patients in the OSA group received 0.5 to 1 μg·kg−1 sufentanil and ultrasound-guided nerve block after anesthetic induction, whereas patients in the control group received traditional high-dose opioid management. Patients in both groups were managed with the same sedatives, muscle relaxants, and other drugs. The main outcome was the overall 15-item Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) survey score 24 hours after surgery.

Results:

A total of 1916 patients were scanned, and 1218 patients were included in the analysis: 392 in the OSA group and 826 in the control group. The QoR-15 global score measured 24 hours after surgery was 119.29 ± 3.25 in the OSA group and 113.87 ± 3.44 in the control group (P < 0.001). The OSA group had lower numeric rating scale scores 24 hours and 72 hours after surgery (P < 0.001) than the control group. The median (interquartile range) postoperative mechanical ventilation time was 1.0 (0–5) hours in the OSA group and 8.0 (6–14) hours in the control group (P < 0.001), and the duration of hospitalization was 11.5 (9–14) days and 12 (10–14) days, respectively (P = 0.012).

Conclusion:

OSA based on ultrasound-guided nerve blocks significantly improved QoR-15 scores after cardiac surgery and is expected to be a reasonable analgesic protocol to improve the prognosis of cardiac patients.
Generalized Point Reactor Kinetics

Published: February 2025

In this paper, we are proposing a generalized analytical solution to the point reactor kinetics equations for six groups of delayed neutron precursors for both conventional and subcritical equations. The methodology presented aims to obtain an analytical solution using the similarity transformation technique. This solution will make it possible to evaluate the behavior of the nuclear reactor power as a function of time, for a given constant reactivity inserted in the reactor core, in a very simple way and without computational effort, compared to numerical solutions. The results obtained will be compared with reference methods to validate the methodology presented in this paper.
Evolution of oral health among younger generations and its possible effects on adult populations: demonstrated by longitudinal data from twelve affluent nations
Authors: Saekel Rüdiger
Published: February 2025

Objective: The study aims to examine the impact of consistent dental preventive programmes during childhood and adolescence on the oral health of adult populations in twelve affluent nations.

Methods: The research utilises existing longitudinal epidemiological data, primarily sourced from representative national surveys whenever feasible.

Results: The lowest increases in DMFT during adolescence and middle-age, a period of 28 years, have been realised in Korea, Sweden, and Spain, with increments of 3.7, 5.5 and 6.8, respectively. These figures seem to indicate that well-established preventive measures, oral hygiene habits and regular dental check-ups during youth are maintained into middle-age in these countries. However, this assertion holds true only for Sweden, as Korea and Spain initiated extensive preventive efforts in their youth only after the year 2000. An analysis of the single DMFT components reveals that the low D-values, minor M-values, and high F-values observed in middle-aged individuals from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Japan, Switzerland and Korea, reflect highly effective dental care systems not only in Sweden but also in these other nations. In contrast, Germany, Great Britain, Australia, Spain and Portugal exhibit lower effectiveness in their dental systems, as preventive strategies were introduced significantly later. The disparities in oral health between the two categories of countries (those with early versus late preventive initiatives) become more pronounced in older age groups.

Conclusion: Comprehensive dental initiatives targeting youth, which commenced in the 1960s and early 1970s, have shown a beneficial effect on oral health that extends into adulthood and later life in countries such as Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Switzerland. Conversely, nations that implemented regular preventive programmes later, during the 1980s and 1990s or thereafter, have only observed positive outcomes among the middle-aged population, with improvements subsequently leveling off, as seen in Great Britain, Germany, Korea, New Zealand, Portugal, and Spain. Therefore, it is advisable that these countries consider implementing preventive strategies for young adults to strengthen the oral health practices established in their formative years.
Neonatal respiratory support substations within Nigerian special care baby units: a noteworthy initiative
Authors: O Amadi Hippolite , L Abubakar Amina
Published: February 2025

Many LMIC neonatal care settings such as Nigeria have been unable to develop a decisive solution against poor neonatal respiratory support that could drive down soaring neonatal mortality rate. Indigenous LMIC companies and philanthropic organisations could be strategically guided and encouraged into playing an efficient passionate role as partners in the bridging of this failure gap. Therefore, such organisations deserve a deliberate collaborative motivation by providing them with enough facts to assess the urgency to partner in saving numerous neonatal lives. A new initiative of ‘neonatal respiratory support substation’ as a distinct subsection of the standard special care baby unit (SCBU) in the Nigerian setting was implemented by an indigenous Nigerian company. Four tertiary hospitals across four major geo-political regions of Nigeria independently benefitted from the passionate gifts and discretely followed up to assess its early impacts. Results from the Centres were similar, with each revealing 94%-100% successful sub-discharge rates within the first 18 weeks of the application. Could this be the long-awaited game changer in Nigeria and the LMICs?

Authors: Malinova L. I. , Elebergenov V. N. , Tolstov S. N. , Dudakov V. A. , Denisova T. P.
Published: February 2025

Aim. To assess the clinical significance of plasma osmolarity and its regulation in acute heart failure in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) under various revascularization strategies.

Material and methods. The study included patients hospitalized with a preliminary diagnosis of STEMI and clinically significant dyspnea (n=198). Plasma osmolarity was determined upon admission by estimation. To assess the intensity of vasopressin synthesis, the copeptin level was determined using an enzyme immunoassay. The study endpoints were inhospital mortality and early complications of MI.

Results. The patients in the sample were comparable by sex, age, major cardiovascular risk factors and clinical phenotype of MI that served as a reason for hospitalization. The highest rate of MI early complications and inhospital mortality was among patients with initial plasma hypoosmolarity (68,6 and 40,4%, respectively). Serum copeptin levels tended to increase in patients with initially low plasma osmolarity (p=0,178). Low baseline plasma osmolarity was associated with an increased risk of death (odds ratio (OR) 0,465, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0,238; 0,911, p=0,024), mainly due to the subgroup of patients with a conservative management strategy (OR 0,335, 95% CI 0,140; 0,803, p=0,012).

Conclusion. Plasma osmolarity assessed upon admission can be used to predict inhospital mortality in patients with acute heart failure and STEMI.
Efficiency of physical rehabilitation of patients with heart failure after myocardial infarction
Authors: Aronov D. M. , Bubnova M. G.
Published: February 2025

Aim. To study the effectiveness of a 6-month training program in patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-III heart failure (HF) after myocardial infarction (MI).

Material and methods. Patients (n=40) with left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) <45% after MI were included. Patients were randomized into the main group (n=20) with training and drug therapy and the control group (n=20) with therapy only. Training program and follow-up lasted 6 months.

Results. According to the bicycle ergometry after 6 months, the main group patients demonstrated a significant increase in the intensity (by 16,4%, p<0,01) and duration (by 21,3%, p<0,01) of physical activity (PA) against a decrease in these parameters in patients of control group (by 13,9%, p<0,01 and 20,4%, p<0,01, respectively). Only in the trained patients, LVEF increased after 6 months (by 6,5%, p=0,03) versus decrease (by 8,6%, p=0,024) in the control group. Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) against the background of physical training after 6 months decreased by 180±64 dyn·s·cm−5 (p=0,001) and did not change in the control group. Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire parameters improved after 6 months with PA (by 28,4±3,8%, p=0,001) and worsened without it (by 26,9±3,6%, p=0,001). With the training program, there was a decrease in the number of angina attacks (by 31,1%, p=0,022), complaints of dyspnea (by 15%, p=0,044) and muscle fatigue (by 21,6%, p=0,039). In the control group, these indicators did not change.

Conclusion. The 6-month training program for patients with NYHA class II-III HF contributed to a decrease in the severity of clinical symptoms, improved tolerance to PT, echocardiography parameters and quality of life. It is advisable to involve patients with HF and reduced LVEF in cardiac rehabilitation programs based on physical training.

Published: February 2025

Aim. To evaluate cardiometabolic risk (CMR) factors in women with breast cancer (BC) before and after chemotherapy (CT) with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide.

Material and methods. This prospective cohort study included 154 women with a median age of 43 years with newly diagnosed stage IIA-IIIB BC. Three following groups were identified among the examined women: with normal blood pressure (BP), masked hypertension (MH) and primary hypertension (HTN). All patients after BC surgery underwent 4 courses of chemotherapy with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide lasting about 3 months. The assessment of CMR factors was carried out at 3 following stages: I — before chemotherapy; II and III — 7-14 days and 90-120 days after its completion. Fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs), high-density (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and non-HDL-C were determined. The atherogenicity coefficient, visceral obesity index (VAI) and lipid accumulation product (LAP) index were calculated.

Results. In women with comorbidity of BC and HTN, the body mass index (BMI) decreased at stage II and returned to the initial level at stage III, while class I obesity was recorded in almost a third of patients. In the MH group, an increase in BMI was observed 90-120 days after the end of chemotherapy. In patients with normal BP, TC level did not change significantly during the follow-up, and among women with HTN, a significant increase in TC compared to the baseline was determined 90-120 days after the completion of chemotherapy. In patients with comorbidity of BC and HTN at stage III, the highest concentration of LDL-C, non-HDL-C and the lowest concentration of HDL-C in the blood were established, which distinguished them from individuals with normotension and MH. Hypertriglyceridemia was recorded in most patients with MH and hypertension after the completion of chemotherapy. The median values of TGs, VAI and LAP index in individuals with normal BP were significantly lower than in the comparison groups at all stages.

Conclusion. In patients with BC after adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide, an increase in the level of atherogenic lipids and visceral obesity indicators is recorded, which is more pronounced in the case of comorbidity of BC and HTN. Metabolic status disorders after chemotherapy persisted for up to 3-4 months, which indicates the need for long-term monitoring of changes.
An Ethical Application to Student-Athlete Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) Sponsorship
Authors: Fortunato John
Published: February 2025

Student-athletes receiving the ability to profit off of their name, image, and likeness (NIL) ignited an industry disruption in college sports.  Brands using student-athletes for sponsorship became a main NIL activity.  Student-athletes are attractive to brands because of their social media following and their authentic connection with fans, alumni, and youths in the community.  Sponsors having a greater presence in college sports as a result of NIL raises ethical concerns on issues of student-athlete recruiting, potential negative brand associations for a university, and sponsorship revenue being diverted from a university and going to a select few student-athletes which could result in the elimination of some university sports teams.  The study of business ethics is advanced by examining various industries, each with its unique variables.  This article analyzes student-athlete NIL sponsorship activities by applying The Principles and Practices for Advertising Ethics provided by the Institute for Advertising Ethics.  It is important to study ethics in the context of NIL because its marketing and regulatory implementation are still in their infancy.  This timely ethical evaluation of NIL activities draws upon the literature that describes sponsorship principles, characteristics and motivations of sports fans, the economic and marketing systems of college sports, and an ethical standard.  Understanding and applying these concepts can lead to more effective decision-making and better outcomes for student-athletes, universities, sponsors, and consumers.  Adopting an ethical approach can inspire trust in the practice of brands using student-athletes for sponsorships.
Reckoning with Ecologies of Violence in Campus (Counter)Protests
Authors: Buchanan Blu , Miller Amara
Published: February 2025

Universities have become a focal point for contestation over the meaning of free speech as well as sites of violent protests connected to white supremacist speakers and anti-racist, anti-fascist activism. This paper investigates incarnations of violence operating during the recent resurgence of white supremacist organizing and counter-protest on college campuses, focusing on the case of the white supremacist attacks at the University of Virginia (U.Va.) and Charlottesville during August 2017 that culminated in the vehicular manslaughter of Heather Heyer. Past research often conceptualizes collective violence through a non/violent binary. In contrast, we argue that a relational and ecological model of violences (pl.) in social movement activity provides a stronger analysis. Using historical methods, we investigate three entangled incarnations of violence that contribute to contemporary moments of social dis/order: the offensive violence of white supremacists, the passive institutional violence of the (white supremacist) University, and active defensive violence on the part of counter-protesters in opposition to white supremacy. In conclusion, we discuss implications for research on violence in movements and contemporary (anti-)racist organizing, arguing that sociologists need to embrace more complex understandings of how violences manifest to address concerns about public safety.
Special Slums
Authors: Zhou Nan
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the emergence and socio-economic dynamics of chengzhongcuns (城中村, “urban villages”) as a manifestation of social disorder within China’s rapid urbanization, driven by neoliberal reforms. It examines how chengzhongcuns developed as rural areas engulfed by expanding cities; the hukou (户口, “household registration”) system and land ownership policies from the Mao era continue to shape these spaces. Chengzhongcuns are not fully integrated into formal urban planning due to the unique land ownership system, where rural land remains collectively owned by villagers, unlike urban land, which is state-owned. This paper highlights the key differences between chengzhongcuns and slums in other developing countries, particularly how chengzhongcuns are legally distinct and intentionally maintained within the current land and governance framework rather than being a product of government failure. The socio-economic challenges faced by migrant workers in these spaces, especially the rise of the Sanhe dashen (三和大神, “Sanhe gurus”) subculture, further illustrate the marginalization and inequality within China’s urban economy. By situating chengzhongcuns in both local and global contexts of informal urbanization, this paper offers insights into China’s unique approach to urban development, emphasizing how the persistence of chengzhongcuns reflects broader patterns of social inequality in rapidly urbanizing countries.

A elevada taxa de distúrbios físicos e psicológicos entre universitários, especialmente em acadêmicos de medicina, é uma questão significativa para a saúde pública e para aspectos educativos e sociais. Com o aumento do número de faculdades de medicina no Brasil, é essencial realizar um estudo crítico sobre o adoecimento psíquico desses estudantes, identificando seus condicionantes e desencadeadores, e desenvolver estratégias de apoio. Este estudo revisou a produção científica sobre saúde mental de estudantes de medicina no Brasil, utilizando uma revisão sistemática da literatura em seis bases de dados: Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Literatura da América Latina e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), PubMed, SciELO, MedLine e PePSIC. Foram selecionados 30 artigos na íntegra e com acesso livre. A maioria dos estudos analisados são transversais e observacionais, realizados principalmente nas regiões Nordeste e Sudeste do Brasil, em universidades públicas e privadas, e publicados entre 2000 e 2020. Os artigos destacam altos índices de ansiedade, estresse, depressão e diminuição da qualidade de vida entre os estudantes de medicina. Os temas principais são as agressões clínicas causadas pelas doenças e as ações de apoio. Embora os condicionantes e desencadeadores estejam bem documentados, poucos artigos utilizam modelos teóricos para entender o fenômeno. Conclui-se que é necessário ampliar os estudos e melhorar os modelos analíticos para uma compreensão mais profunda e para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de enfrentamento eficazes.

Impacted teeth, such as lower premolars, are often identified in routine exams and can cause discomfort and complications, such as infections and cysts. Literature notes these teeth may require surgical interventions for removal. The choice of surgical access technique should carefully consider the preservation of vital structures. This work aims to report a clinical case illustrating the lingual surgical approach for impacted lower premolars, emphasizing surgical planning for safe, effective removal. A 24-year-old male presented with discomfort in the right mandibular lingual area. Clinical and initial radiographic exams revealed an impacted tooth, with CT scans confirming angulation. Treatment involved careful osteotomy to protect vital structures and adjacent roots, performed under local block anesthesia with precise techniques to minimize complications. The postoperative course showed no paresthesia, and the patient experienced satisfactory recovery with appropriate healing. Technique selection must consider depth, tooth angulation, and the risk of adjacent structural damage, underscoring the need for detailed surgical planning. The lingual approach for impacted tooth extraction was successfully performed without complications or paresthesia. Careful technique and precise anatomical handling ensured patient recovery.
OPTIMUM FAMILY OF ESTIMATORS IN SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING OF FINITE POPULATION MEAN USING TWO AUXILIARY VARIABLES WITH APPLICATIONS IN FISHERIES AND ECONOMICS SECTORS
Authors: Algarni Ali
Published: February 2025

To estimate a finite population mean when the population mean of the auxiliary variable is known, we propose a new family of finite population mean estimators designed for use in simple random sampling situations. We performed first-order approximations of these new estimates and presented mathematical models for their biases and mean square error (MSE). To evaluate the effectiveness of these predictions, we made theoretical and empirical comparisons under different conditions and compared them with traditional predictions. This article demonstrates the advantages and benefits of these new estimators in the forecasting process by providing information on their performance in various simulation configurations.

From the horizon of the philosophy of good living, this article explores the possibilities that this would have in the understanding of urban processes for Abya Yala, considering the tensional elements between a city marked by the conflictive coexistence between the processes of gentrification and urban extractivism with the new social movements that have emerged in the last decades, the same that demand the right to a dignified life in Latin American cities. Here the political ontologies of relational character are positioned as possibilities to give content to a new type of inhabiting, of being-feeling in the city, from the sense given by the communal. In this sense, in this article we have proposed to establish a theoretical dialogue with the good living from the place where we situate our thinking, the city, considering the profound changes that have taken place in the last decades. To this end, we have reviewed the fundamental principles of the philosophy of good living, while we approached an early review of the new social movements that uphold these principles and their embodiment in the plurinational states that have emerged in the region.
