EL MERCADO CRECIENTE DE LAS MASCOTAS EN MÉXICO: BENEFICIOS Y OPORTUNIDAD DE NEGOCIOS
Authors: Lee Kim Hyun Sook
Published: February 2025

Durante 2011, México ocupó el cuarto lugar a nivel mundial en tanto el número de mascotas; y para 2013 ya existía un incremento en los nego­cios relacionados con artículos para mascotas como alimentos, accesorios, ropa, servicio de peluquería, etc. Dicho fenómeno motivó a la autora para realizar este estudio con el fin de conocer que ventajas obtienen las personas al tener mascotas. Para realizarlo, se basó en fuentes secundarias como revistas, periódicos, páginas Web., etc., así mismo se realizó un es­tudio de campo como fuente primaria, por medio de la aplicación de 219 encuestas. De acuerdo con el resultado del estudio de campo realizado, el 68% de los encuestados contaban con perro(s) aunque algunos convivían con una combinación de dos, tres o mayor número de mascotas. Y llamó la atención que un 82% expresaron tener familias con un número mayor a tres miembros. Estos fenómenos permiten interpretar que en México la causa de la adopción de las mascotas no es solamente por soledad sino por compañía y llegan a ser considerados como un miembro más de la familia, para dar y recibir afecto independientemente al nivel socioeconómico de la vivienda, aunque algunos estudiosos expresaron que las mascotas benefi­cian principalmente a los ancianos, los solitarios y los enfermos”.
LA EVASIÓN EN MÉXICO Y SUS REPERCUSIONES EN MATERIA FISCAL
Authors: Chávez Chávez José Luis
Published: February 2025

Las disposiciones fiscales son el eje fundamental para evitar la evasión fiscal en México, los lineamientos que la propia Ley del Impuesto Sobre la Ren­ta, y de igual forma el Código Fiscal de la Federación vigentes establecen y que de las mismas emanan de estas Leyes, habrán que tomarse en cuenta para no incurrir en el delito de Evasión Fiscal; el conocer de estos preceptos legales, dará certidumbre a las actuaciones que en materia fiscal realizan los contribuyentes en México. La responsabilidad de un contribuyente al no acatar las disposiciones fiscales va desde la imposición de multas y hasta la perdida de la libertad, motivo por el cual preocupa que no se cumpla al pie de la letra con estos preceptos, de igual manera la aportación es que, el dar a conocer las disposiciones fiscales al grueso de los contribuyentes, y a la profesión involucrada en estas tareas, ayudará a un mejor cumplimiento de la Ley Fiscal en México, evitando cargas financieras de importancia y con­duciendo a una mejor práctica profesional para los expertos del área fiscal.

Integration processes in Ukraine are related to the adaptation of normative documentation of standards to the EU. The priority directions in international normative documents are guaranteeing the production of safe and high-quality food raw materials in various branches of agriculture, in particular fisheries. In the EU countries, there is a very high prevalence of enteropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, pathogens of the genera Salmonella, Enterococcus, Campilobacter, etc. in raw materials and food products, in particular in the fish industry. Given that in Ukraine, due to certain methodological limitations in monitoring and routine studies, all types of bacteria that contaminate fish and fish products are not always identified, the purpose of our in-depth microbiological studies was to determine the actual species composition of bacterial microorganisms in fish and fish products samples and to perform a quantitative comparative analysis of the results of in-depth microbiological studies with the results of monitoring and routine tests to assess the real risks of foodborne illness. In-depth microbiological tests identified opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms in 125 (37.1% of the samples tested) samples of fish and fish products. According to the results of the State Monitoring, only 1 (0.3% of the samples tested) strain of Listeria monocytogenes was isolated. During routine testing, 22 (6.5% of the samples tested) such strains were isolated. During in-depth microbiological tests, 45 isolates of Escherichia coli, 51 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, 19 isolates of Listeria monocytogenes, 5 isolates of Bacillus spp., 4 isolates of Enterococcus faecalis, 1 isolate of Proteus vulgaris, which confirms a high level of contamination of fish and fish products with pathogenic microorganisms, including zoonotic ones, which exceeds the results of routine studies by 5,7 times and State monitoring studies by 123,7 times. The obtained results of in-depth microbiological studies indicate the need to adjust the current documentation on in-depth testing of fish and fish products, as there are real risks of the possible spread of antibiotic-resistant strains, including acquired resistance, in Ukraine.
Key words: contamination, fish, fish products, microbiological studies, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus vulgaris, Bacillus spp.
Eficacia de los sueros antiofídicos disponibles en Ecuador para el tratamiento de mordeduras de serpientes
Authors: Pilaguano Rodríguez Fernanda Nicole , Valencia Zamora Franklin Julio
Published: February 2025

Introducción.  Los accidentes ofídicos son un problema de salud que afecta a 5.4 millones de personas al año. Estos son más frecuentes en la región de América Latina, especialmente en zonas tropicales y subtropicales con altos índices de biodiversidad como el Ecuador, que cuenta con alrededor de 240 especies ofídicas donde el 15% son venenosas. Objetivo.  Evaluar la eficacia de los sueros antiofídicos disponibles en Ecuador para el tratamiento de mordeduras de serpientes, considerando la diversidad de las especies de serpientes venenosas en el país. Metodología.  Se desarrolló una revisión bibliográfica, a partir del análisis de estudios seleccionados mediante criterios de inclusión y exclusión, publicados desde el 2019, en fuentes científicas como: PubMed, Google Scholar, Medigraphic, Medline, Elsevier, Scopus, Scielo, Dialnet, entre otras y páginas oficiales de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, Organización Panamericana de la Salud y Ministerio de Salud Pública del Ecuador. Resultados. En Ecuador, durante el 2019 al 2023 se reportaron en total 7090 casos, con prevalencia en las provincias de Manabí, Morona Santiago y Orellana. Los accidentes más frecuentes son ocasionados por serpientes de la familia viperadae, como: la bothrops atrox o equis del oriente, bothrops asper (equis) y bothrops b. atrox (pitalala). Para el tratamiento de las mordeduras, se emplean los sueros antiofídicos poliespecíficos SAO-B y SAO-C importados de Costa Rica, México y Brasil. Conclusión.  La eficacia de los sueros antiofídicos en el Ecuador es de aproximadamente el 70%, su alcance disminuye al no estar desarrollado con toxinas de serpientes locales, lo que requieren la administración de altas dosis. Generalmente, los efectos secundarios están asociados a cuadros anafilácticos y la enfermedad del suero. Además, no se encontró evidencia que señale al antídoto como causante de complicaciones severas. Área de estudio general: Medicina. Área de estudio específica: Medicina tropical.

Safety and Efficacy of EDGE in Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Reddy Yeshaswini , Puli Srinivas R , Forcione David
Published: February 2025

Background: Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients is very challenging. Access to the excluded stomach or jejunum using Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) guided Lumen- Apposing Metal Stents (LAMS) and performing ERCP is becoming more available.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis with two authors independently reviewing electronic databases (PubMed, Embrace, and Cochrane Library) from inception through June 2022. Fixed and random effects models were used to calculate the weighted mean (WM), pooled proportions, and confidence intervals (CI).

Results: On initial search, 457 articles were found, of which 63 were selected and reviewed. Data was extracted from 11 studies (n= 543) examining EDGE procedure in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients. The primary outcome was successful LAMS placement with a pooled rate of 97.84% (95% CI = 96.46 to 98.89). Successful ERCP through the LAMS was calculated as the secondary outcome. This gave a pooled proportion of 95.57% (95% CI = 93.11 to 97.51). The pooled proportion of patients who underwent ERCP in one session was 46.89 % (95% CI = 42.59 to 51.22), and in two different sessions was 53.45 % (95% CI = 49.13 to 57.75). This pooled analysis noted a persistent fistula after stent removal in 14.02 % of patients (95% CI =11.12 to 17.18). Procedure-related complications such as stent migration were reported in 7.72% of patients (95% CI = 5.63 to 10.09), and perforation was seen in 4.33 % of patients (95% CI= 2.67 to 6.36). The pooled analysis of other complications included bleeding that was seen in 1.83 % of patients (95% CI = 0.79 to 3.27), post-ERCP pancreatitis in 2.43 % of patients (95% CI = 1.18 to 4.11), and infection in 1.04 % of patients (95% CI = 0.27 to 2.27). The pooled estimates calculated with fixed and random effects models were the same. Publication bias calculated using the Harbord-Egger bias indicator gave a value of 2.60 (p =0.16). The Begg-Mazumdar indicator gave Kendall's tau b value of 0.07 (p = 0.90).

Conclusions: EDGE is a minimally invasive procedure with a high technical success rate in patients requiring biliary intervention after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. There are minimal intra and post-procedural complications. So, EDGE can be used as the first-line therapy in this patient population.
Causes for The Limitation of Mouth Opening Can Be Different
Authors: Franjic Sinisa
Published: February 2025

Trismus is a condition when the muscles of the jaw are restricted, so that it can hardly or not be opened at all. This condition occurs if there is inflammation in the part where the chewing muscles are located, it can most often be seen after extraction of the tooth. The condition is transitory and after timely and appropriate therapy does not leave any consequences. A man can open his mouth an average of 35-55mm, which corresponds to the width of three fingers. When trismus appears, it is limited, it is even possible that the teeth are in contact all the time and it is impossible to open the mouth.

Embryo’s Implantation is a question that we are not in the position to answer in full details. We know that it depends on embryo’s quality and uterine receptivity. It is possible to access uterine cavity before in vitro fertilisation by a variety of tools, however hysteroscopy is the gold standard in evaluation of uterine cavity and potential pathology. The frequencies of unrecognised uterine pathology revealed by hysteroscopy are 18-50% and 40-43% in patients undergoing in vitro fertilisation or after recurrent implantation failure respectively. Data is inconclusive regarding the role of hysteroscopy on pregnancy outcome after ART. This review aims to evaluate the validity of office hysteroscopy in subfertile population before or after at least one failed fertility treatment.

Contribuições da cocriação de valor a partir das VGIs para o planejamento e a gestão do turismo em São Cristóvão/SE: análise de comentários do Instagram
Authors: Santos Pedro Henrique Jesus , Santos Cristiane Alcântara de Jesus , Campos Antonio Carlos
Published: February 2025

Esta pesquisa considera a relevância da colaboração no turismo em suas diversas instâncias (ambiental, social, econômica e comercial), tendo como suporte as plataformas digitais e o uso dos conteúdos voluntários disponíveis. Nesse sentido, evocamos a teoria da cocriação de valor (Phahalad; Rasmaswamy, 2004; Vargo; Lusch, 2008), a fim de destacar que a colaboração acontece sinergicamente por meio da valorização, por parte dos gestores, das informações produzidas pelos consumidores acerca de seus serviços e/ou produtos. Assim, relacionamos a produção de informações voluntárias (VGIs) como dispositivos de cocriação de valor em publicações sobre turismo no perfil do Instagram da Prefeitura de São Cristóvão/SE. Para tanto, busca-se apontar como a elaboração de VGIs por turistas e residentes no Instagram da Prefeitura Municipal de São Cristóvão/SE, enquanto mecanismo de cocriação de valor, pode contribuir com os processos de planejamento e gestão do turismo local. Desta forma, optou-se por adotar a pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa, levantamento bibliográfico e análise do perfil do Instragram da Prefeitura Municipal de São Cristóvão. Verificou-se que a falta de informações acerca do destino, conforme apontam turistas e residentes de São Cristóvão, é uma problemática latente e que perdura ao longo tempo, sugerindo a valorização das avaliações/comentários como fonte de dados relevantes para auxiliar os processos de planejamento e gestão do turismo.

Published: February 2025

A pandemia da Covid-19 tornou explícito, no mundo as desigualdades no setor de saúde, fator decisivo para impulsionar o desenvolvimento das healthtechs. Neste contexto, este estudo objetiva caracterizar o perfil das empresas healthtechs brasileiras que receberam fundos de investimentos de risco a partir do ano de 2018, com base nos relatórios de inteligência setorial nacional. Metodologicamente, foi realizada uma pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa, de natureza exploratória e descritiva. Os principais resultados apontam quase 60% das healthtechs brasileiras já receberam algum tipo de investimento. Entretanto, somente 14% dessas startups deixaram de receber investimentos devido à dificuldade em encontrar um investidor com potencial. Assim, este estudo oportunizou algumas contribuições à nível teórico, realçando a carência de pesquisas que abordam a perspectiva dos investimentos em healthtechs, sobretudo, nacionalmente.
Futebol, branquitude e relações étnico-raciais
Authors: Santana Aline Passos de Jesus , Silva Jerônimo da , Sobral Letícia Dantas , Almeida Neto Paulo Faria
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo aborda o racismo sofrido pelo jogador brasileiro do Real Madrid, Vini Jr, em maio de 2023, e que mobilizou uma ampla discussão midiática. O objetivo do trabalho é compreender as condições de possibilidade da reação de Vini Jr., ao paralisar o jogo e apontar um dos autores dos atos racistas, mantendo-se, após o episódio, firme em denunciar La Liga como omissa e conivente com o racismo. Entende-se que essa reação, incomum diante de tantos episódios de racismo no futebol “europeu”, é efeito de novas configurações nas relações de poder que estão tensionadas pela reemergência da extrema-direita, a eclosão de movimentos antirracistas e da postura insubmissa de esportistas negros em vários países. Ao analisar as condições de possibilidade da atitude de Vini Jr, utilizamos a teoria da performatividade, a partir de postagens no Twitter, para localizar discursos que são, ao mesmo tempo, ações, ou seja, que produzem aquilo que dizem. Nos marcos de uma pesquisa exploratória, foi formulada a possibilidade jurídico-política de disseminar cláusulas antirracistas nos contratos de jogadores negros, integrantes de minorias étnicas e/ou imigrantes que produza o reconhecimento e a reparação para esses grupos que, inclusive, sustentam a qualidade do futebol “europeu”.
Perspectiva histórica intersexo por uma visão decolonial
Authors: Cardoso Mônica Porto , Lohanna Adriana
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo trata das diferentes formas que a sociedade lida com o corpo intersexo sob uma visão decolonial. Perpassando pela visão mitológica indo pra visão indígena até os dias de hoje, observando o tratamento da igreja católica e do clero e como isso e a colonização europeia faz com que a visão desse corpo seja ainda deturpada. Tendo como objetivo demonstrar que a colonização ajudou com a visão patologizante que hoje se tem dos corpos intersexo, como se a pessoa intersexo sofresse de alguma infermidade. O estudo foi feito traçando uma linha do tempo com a bibliografia pesquisada, desde antropólogos a médicos para compreender como a sociedade lidou ou objetificou corpos intersexo ao decorrer dos anos, com uma visão eurocentrada. Quando comparado o tratamento de pessoas intersexo nas comunidades indígenas com a maneira que os jesuítas tratavam e os dias de hoje, percebemos resquícios dessa lembrança eurocentrada católica porém retirando a questão patriarcal e religiosa, mas continuando tratando como doença e não como seres humanos que são. O estigma foi colocado pelo binarismo criado na bíblia de que Deus criou o homem e a mulher, então não se concebia ter outro corpo que não correspondesse a um desses.

Integrating Generative AI and digital tools to Augment Student Creativity and productivity: A Case Study
Authors: Kumar Leena Thacker , Hughes Christina , Cleveland Clayton
Published: February 2025

Generative AI is changing education. Responses to this change in technology in the classroom include banning AI use, ignoring it, or integrating it. Current discussions emphasize faculty concerns of GAI, including hallucinations and plagiarism. Student surveys conducted during the Fall 2024 semester illustrate that students have many of the same concerns as faculty. Thus, given the exponential pace of AI development and potential use, it is imperative that we expose our students to Generative AI. The goal is to make students aware of how they can use generative AI tools to augment their work and increase their critical thinking while guarding against risks and downsides. We will showcase an assignment from our courses where we incorporated a prompt produced by ChatGPT to create a critical thinking assignment. Our findings support the notion that AI can be harnessed in support of student learning
Capstone: Merging Experiential Learning, Research, And 21st Century Pedagogy
Authors: Matibe Pearl
Published: February 2025

Real world, Washington practitioner workspaces inform this paper. It explores how to develop capstone courses, such as in comparative politics and international relations that integrate experiential learning and research-based pedagogy early in a course of study. This equips students for the complexities of 21st-century political science careers. By combining hands-on experiential learning—such as case studies, debates, global visits, fieldwork, and simulations, it allows students to bridge the gap between classroom knowledge, rigorous inquiry, and the practical demands of a political science career. It discusses insights into designing courses that connect students directly with the mechanisms to increasing literacy levels, and collaboration. This paper argues that experiential learning, when systematically integrated into capstone courses, enhances students’ critical thinking, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. Key findings include institutional challenges, gaps in early skill development and competencies. Appropriate literacy levels for career readiness, are possible, if capstone courses are reimagined.

Developing and evaluating a translanguaging-multiliteracies learning design (LDTMP) for student agency in a college English course in China
Authors: Zhou Jie , Lee Sze Seau , Kew Si Na
Published: February 2025

Set within the context of a college English course in China, this study introduces an educational approach known as Learning Design based on Translanguaging and Multiliteracies Pedagogy (LDTMP), which aims to foster student agency within higher education. “Translanguaging” refers to the integrated use of multiple languages, and “multiliteracies” pertains to the diverse literacy skills required in today’s multimodal world. The significance of student agency is emphasized as it enables students to take control of their learning process, aligning with the goals of lifelong learning and active citizenship advocated by policies in China. The research employs Design-Based Research (DBR), a method that involves three phases: (1) preliminary research to establish a theoretical foundation, (2) iterative prototype development and classroom implementation, and (3) the formalization of research and design principles. This approach is particularly suitable for integrating innovative pedagogies such as translanguaging and multiliteracies, which are central to the LDTMP framework. The study reports partial findings from the first and second phases of the complete DBR research. In the first phase, literature review contributed to the design and development of a prototype of LDTMP. In the second phase, the prototype of LDTMP was implemented in a college English course and evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively through a pilot study. Results indicated significant differences in LDTMP on student agency compared to other instructional models across dimensions such as self-efficacy beliefs, teacher support, opportunities to influence, and opportunities to make choices.
Excitonic insulator candidate Ta2NiSe5 and related transition-metal compounds studied by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering
Authors: Mizokawa Takashi , Monney Claude
Published: February 2025

Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) can probe electron-hole excitations in excitonic insulators (EIs) which are realized by Coulomb attractive interaction between electrons and holes in semimetals or narrow gap semiconductors. In the present article, we review the exotic electronic state of an EI candidate Ta2NiSe5 which is probed by Ni 2p-3d RIXS as well as Ni 2p x-ray photoemission/absorption spectroscopy. The RIXS results on the exotic electronic state under the electron-hole and electron-lattice correlations suggest requirement of a new theoretical scheme which can describe itinerant electron-hole excitations and the localized charge-transfer excitations as well as the electron-lattice interaction.

Introduction

The relationship between motor and cognitive skills is a pivotal issue in neuroscience, with embodied cognition theory asserting that bodily actions and experiences play a vital role in cognitive processing. This relevance is particularly noted in children with severe motor disorders (MD) from birth, highlighting a need to explore how these disorders may impede cognitive functions.

Methods

In this study, we assessed verbal fluency, a critical component of speech function, in 68 children aged 7 to 15. This group consisted of 36 children with motor disorders, specifically those diagnosed with obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP, n = 22) or arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC, n = 14), and 32 healthy control children. We compared levels of verbal fluency, action/verbal naming, and the development of semantic associations between the two groups.

Results

The findings revealed that children with motor impairments exhibited significantly lower performance in tasks measuring verbal fluency and semantic association compared to the control group. Mainly, MD children produced fewer words during verbal fluency tasks and demonstrated reduced semantic associations. Interestingly, MD children with unilateral limb impairment outperformed those with bilateral impairment on semantic association tasks.

Discussion

These results suggest that the cognitive deficits observed in children with motor impairments can be attributed to less engagement with their physical environment, which influences their ability to perceive and manipulate objects differently based on their level of impairment. Additionally, the findings underscore how social and cultural contexts may be affected by motor impairments. Overall, our study supports the concept of embodied cognition, demonstrating that delays in motor skill development among children with OBPP and AMC can harm their cognitive functions.

Introduction

Breast cancer is currently the most prevalent cancer globally; however, it generally has a favorable prognosis and is linked to a high survival rate. While effective treatments can extend survival and mitigate associated side effects, not all survivors are exempt from complications. Notably, a significant proportion of survivors experience sleep disorders following surgery, which can severely impact their quality of life. Exercise is frequently recommended as a non-pharmacological intervention to enhance sleep quality among breast cancer survivors and may also play a role in reducing recurrence rates. Recognizing that various forms of exercise may yield different outcomes in addressing sleep disorders in this population, we conducted a network review meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of diverse exercise modalities for breast cancer survivors suffering from sleep disturbances.

Methods

We searched four electronic databases for randomized controlled trials of individuals diagnosed breast cancer with sleep disorders by different exercise therapy. The primary outcomes included Yoga, Pilates, Qigong, Tai Chi, Walking, Dance, Resistance training, Football, Virtual reality therapy, Activity change exercise, Software-guided exercises. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Bias risk Assessment tool, and network meta-analysis was performed using Stata15 software. The review was pre-registered (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023442892).

Results

Data on 3083 breast cancer survivors with sleep disturbances from 34 eligible randomized controlled trials were analyzed, with 23 classified as medium risk and 2 as high risk. Network meta-analysis showed that walking exercise [Standard Median Different (SMD) =3.06, 95% Confidence Interval (95%CI)=(-5.89,-0.23)] significantly improved sleep disorder (Surface Under the Cumulative Ranking curve, SUCRA: 84.5%) and reduced Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score.

Discussion

Based on the network ranking table, we can conclude that walking exercise offers greater benefits compared to other exercise interventions for improving sleep quality in breast cancer patients. This finding presents a novel perspective on exercise interventions for breast cancer survivors experiencing sleep disorders.

Introduction

Approximately 1−2% of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) are positive for rearranged during transfection (RET) gene fusions. The aim of this real-world multi-national study was to describe clinical characteristics, biomarker testing, and treatment patterns of patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC.

Methods

This observational study was conducted in 2020 in nine countries using electronic patient record forms, following Adelphi Disease Specific Programme (DSP™) methodology. Patients with advanced NSCLC (aNSCLC) were included in the overall cohort. A smaller RET fusion-positive cohort comprised patients from the overall aNSCLC cohort who had RET fusion-positive disease and no other co-alterations, plus an oversample of patients with RET fusion-positive disease and no other co-alterations.

Results

Patient characteristics were generally similar between the overall aNSCLC cohort (n=2947) and the RET fusion-positive cohort (n=576), aside from higher proportions of White/Caucasian patients, never smokers, and adenocarcinoma among the RET fusion-positive cohort. For the overall aNSCLC cohort, 899 (31%) were tested for RET fusions; 84% of RET test results were available prior to initiation of aNSCLC treatment. Comparisons between the two cohorts showed similar proportions of patients treated with chemotherapy (± immunotherapy), but less use of immunotherapy only or targeted therapy in the RET fusion-positive cohort.

Conclusions

Results of this real-world study provide insights into clinical characteristics, biomarker testing, and treatment patterns of patients with RET fusion-positive aNSCLC and highlight the need for awareness and education to increase RET testing with the intent to treat with selective RET inhibitors when appropriate to optimize outcomes for patients.
The effect of 12-week combined balance and plyometric training on dynamic balance and lower extremity injury risk in college dancers
Authors: Yan Yuqi , Seoyoung Park , Seomyeong Heo , Zhao Yi
Published: February 2025

Background

Dancers face significant physical demands and are at high risk for lower extremity injuries due to the complexity and intensity of their movements, which require strong dynamic balance. Improving dynamic balance through training can potentially enhance performance and reduce injury risk.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the effects of a 12-week combined balance and plyometric training program (BP) compared to plyometric training alone (PL) on dynamic balance and lower extremity injury risk among college dancers.

Methods

A total of 30 female college dancers were randomly assigned to either the BP group (n = 15) or the PL group (n = 15). Both groups participated in a 12-week training program, with the BP group engaging in both balance and plyometric exercises, and the PL group performing only plyometric exercises. Dynamic balance was assessed using the Dynamic Posture Stability Index (DPSI). Lower extremity injury risk was evaluated using the Limb Symmetry Index (LSI) and Center of Pressure (COP) measurements, pre- and post-intervention.

Results

The BP group showed significant improvements in dynamic balance compared to the PL group, with a reduction in DPSI values (DF-DPSI: p < 0.001, partial η2 = 0.625; DL-DPSI: p < 0.001, partial η2 = 0.559). Additionally, the BP group showed significant reductions in COP displacements, particularly in the anterior-posterior direction (DF-COPAP: p < 0.015, partial η2 = 0.101; DL-COPAP: p = 0.019, partial η2 = 0.094). The BP group also demonstrated greater improvements in LSI-3C and LSI-6, which reflect dynamic stability (LSI-3C: p < 0.001, partial η2 = 0.229; LSI-6: p = 0.006, partial η2 = 0.128).

Conclusion

The 12-week combined balance and plyometric training program was more effective than plyometric training alone in improving dynamic balance and reducing lower extremity injury risk in college dancers. This combined training approach is recommended for improving performance and preventing injuries in dancers.
Effects of 6-week sprint interval training compared to traditional training on the running performance of distance runners: a randomized controlled trail
Authors: Jin Kai , Cai Mengbiao , Zhang Yongqian , Wu Bin , Yang Yi
Published: February 2025

Introduction

This study aimed to compare the effects of sprint interval training versus traditional training on running performance in well-trained male distance runners.

Methods

Twenty male distance runners (VO2: 67.4 ± 4.5 mL/kg/min, personal best time for the 5000 m: 14′38″47 ± 00′23″46) were recruited and randomly assigned to either the intervention training (IT) group, which performed sprint interval training, or the control training (CT) group, which engaged in traditional long-distance training. Both groups completed their respective training regimens twice a week for 6 weeks. Measurements for VO2max, O2 cost, time to exhaustion (TTE), and running times for 100, 400, and 3000 m were taken before and after the intervention.

Results

The results indicated that the IT group showed significant improvements in TTE and running performance across 100, 400, and 3000 m (all P < 0.01), while the CT group only demonstrated improvements in 400 m time (P < 0.01). The IT group exhibited superior 3000 m performance compared to the CT group (P < 0.01). Analysis of effect sizes revealed small to moderate improvements in physiological and performance measures for the IT group, with VO2max showing a small effect size of 0.43, O2 cost a moderate effect size of 0.65, and TTE a moderate effect size of 0.77.

Conclusion

These findings suggest that sprint interval training may offer superior benefits for enhancing running performance of well-trained male distance runners, particularly in time to exhaustion and middle-to long-distance events, compared to traditional longdistance training.

Introduction

Common wheat is a leading global food crop that impacts food security. Wheat powdery mildew (PM), caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), poses a significant threat to grain yield and flour quality. The identification and utilization of broad-spectrum resistance genes against PM are essential for effective disease control.

Methods

The resistance spectrum test during the seedling stage and the identification of resistance during the adult stage were conducted to evaluate the wheat landrace Honghuamai (HHM). Five segregating populations were investigated to assess the inheritance of PM resistance in HHM. To map its PM resitance gene, bulked segregant analysis, molecular mapping and comparative genomic analysis were also used in the present study.

Results

HHM shows remarkable adult resistance in the field and is nearly immune to all 25 Bgt isolates used in seedling tests, making it an excellent source of PM resistance. PM resistance in HHM was determined by a single dominant gene, temporarily named PmHHM. It was then fine-mapped to an interval with a genetic distance of 0.0031 cM and a physical distance of 187.4 kb on chromosome 4AL of the Chinese Spring reference sequence v.2.1. Four genes were identified in the target region, three of which encode nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins. Comparative genomic analysis revealed presence/absence variations (PAVs) of the PmHHM locus among common wheat varieties.

Discussion

These closely linked molecular markers will not only benefit the cloning of the gene underlying PmHHM but also facilitate the efficient utilization of the gene in breeding programs.

Published: February 2025

Introduction

Early screening for mathematically gifted students (MGSs) in Jordan and other Arab countries is limited, posing challenges in identifying and providing appropriate educational services. This study evaluates the validity and reliability of the Arabiya Calculation Test and Math Curriculum-Based Measurement (M-CBM) as tools for effectively screening and supporting MGSs in inclusive education settings. These tools were developed based on the Jordanian curriculum and international assessment tools and require further validation for use in other Arabic-speaking countries.

Methods

A quantitative research design was employed, using the Arabiya Calculation Test and M-CBM to assess 78 MGSs in grades 3, 4, and 5 across three schools in Jordan. The tools’ reliability and validity were evaluated, with findings specifically limited to these grades. Performance differences among students and correlations between the two measures were analyzed.

Results

The findings demonstrated that both the Arabiya Calculation Test and M-CBM are valid and reliable tools for identifying MGSs. These tools effectively differentiated performance across grades 3, 4, and 5. In addition, the significant correlation between these two measures supported their validity in identifying gifted students.

Discussion

The results have important implications for educational practice and policy in Jordan and similar Arab countries. Accurate identification of gifted students may facilitate tailored instruction and enrichment programs, improving the experience of inclusive education. These assessment tools offer the potential to identify gifted students early and meet their needs within an inclusive school environment.

Published: February 2025

United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) aims to ensure we make things in a sustainable way. Many kinds of equipment and chemicals are needed to make all the products we use every day. This is not an easy task—millions of people all over the world work in giant “kitchens” called chemical industries, where they prepare and mix materials to make everything from the plastic in your toys, the fabric in your clothes, and the medicines that heal sick people. To be sustainable, all industries need to reduce the amounts of energy and materials they use, and the garbage they produce. This challenge requires new ways of making products, and new machines to make those products! The good news is that we have some new high-tech alternatives. In this article, we will tell you how 3D printing can help industries be more efficient, safer, and better for the environment. Watch an interview with the authors of this article to learn even more!

Policy analysis in sport: a review of mainstream meso-level frameworks and developing more sustainable policy for grassroots sport
Authors: Mountifield Charles
Published: February 2025

This paper reviews some mainstream meso-level policy analysis frameworks widely applied in sport. There is, however, an absence of consensus for an established framework for analysing sport policy in general and, instead, techniques emanating from other fields of study have been relied upon. The resultant approach to sport policy analysis is inconsistent, multidimensional, and lacks unanimity, leading to calls for a sport-specific framework. This research outlines how meso-level frameworks have been applied in sport policy and issues linked to sustainability from a grassroots policy perspective. A narrative literature review provides an overview of prevalent approaches, namely Institutional Analysis, the Multiple Streams Framework, Policy Network Theory, and the Advocacy Coalition Framework. Aspects of applying these models to sport policy—including some key advantages and disadvantages—are outlined, especially the issue of conventional top-policy processes, the impact on policy implementers at grassroots level, and the potential for bottom-up policy influence. The article examines the four frameworks in the context of praxes in sport, noting the overall importance of a meso-level approach to sport policy analysis and that arriving at an holistic and inclusive accord has merit.
