Authors: Guo Yuyan , Huang Penghui , Zhang Jinna , Liu Chaobin , Xie Xi , Wang Zhenna , Lin Yan , Lin Guan , Lin Shunhe
Published: February 2025

Objective
This study evaluates the potential of complement C3 as a predictive biomarker for endometriosis severity and examines its correlation with clinical features and biochemical markers.
Methods
In this retrospective analysis, 82 women diagnosed with endometriosis were classified into severe and minimal-to-moderate groups based on revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) scores. Peripheral blood samples were analyzed for complement components (C3, C4), tumor markers (CA125, CA199), and other biochemical indices.
Results
Patients with severe endometriosis exhibited significantly higher frequencies of dysmenorrhea, larger cyst dimensions, and elevated serum levels of complement C3, CA125, and triglycerides compared to those with less severe disease (p < 0.05). Notably, complement C3 and CA125 levels were strongly correlated with disease severity, highlighting their potential role in clinical assessment.
Conclusion
Complement C3 shows promise as a biomarker for assessing the severity of endometriosis. The integration of complement components into diagnostic and prognostic frameworks could facilitate earlier detection and the development of personalized therapeutic approaches for endometriosis.
Lianbinite, (NH4)(C2H3O3)(C2H4O3), a new glycolate mineral, from the Santa Catalina Mountains, Tucson, Arizona, USA

Published: February 2025

A new organic mineral species, lianbinite, ideally (NH4)(C2H3O3)(C2H4O3), was discovered from the western end of Pusch Ridge in the Santa Catalina Mountains, north of Tucson, Arizona, USA. It occurs as bladed or acicular crystals, associated with baryte, fluorite, glecklerite, jarosite, jimkrieghite, quartz, and rasmussenite. Lianbinite is colorless, transparent with a white streak and vitreous luster. It is brittle and has a Mohs hardness of 1-1½; cleavage is perfect on {100}. No parting or twinning was observed. The calculated density is 1.497 g/cm3. The chemical composition of lianbinite was determined with a Thermo Finnigan DELTAplus XL Elemental Combustion System equipped with a mass spectrometer, yielding an empirical formula (N0.98H4.06)(C1.98H3O3)(C1.99H3O3), or N0.98C3.97H11.06O6, on the basis of 6 O apfu.

Lianbinite is the natural counterpart of synthetic (NH4)(C2H3O3)(C2H4O3), which is isostructural with synthetic K(C2H3O3)(C2H4O3) and Rb(C2H3O3)(C2H4O3). It is monoclinic with space group P21/c, and unit-cell parameters a = 3.91305(11), b = 18.7499(4), c = 10.7214(2) Å, β = 107.444(2)°, V = 750.45(3) Å3, and Z = 4. The crystal structure of lianbinite contains two forms of glycolate units: glycolate anions (GAs) and glycolic acid molecules (GMs). These two units are linked together by hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional network with two kinds of channels extending along [100]. The large channel is surrounded by O atoms, with (NH4)+ groups situated inside, whereas the small one is enclosed by H atoms. The discovery of lianbinite, together with other glycolate minerals documented thus far, namely domitrovicite, glecklerite, jimkrieghite, lazaraskeite, rasmussenite, and stanevansite, implies that glycolate minerals may be rather widespread in nature, thus serving as a potential reservoir for biologically-fixed carbon.
Growing smarter: a systematic review of the impact and challenges of climate information on farming
Authors: Madhuri
Published: February 2025

Understanding the application and format of climate information services (CIS) can enhance forecast application skills. With the help of the systematic review method of 112 papers, the study assesses the format of forecast delivery to farmers, the anticipated values for farmers, and the integration of CIS integration into adaptation strategies. A significant surge in studies has emerged since 2010 and has been primarily driven by increased climate funding commitments in the developed world since 2009. The study explored adaptation strategies predominately in Africa and developed nations, with Asian nations following suit. While the value of CIS is evident in increasing yields and aiding decision-making, challenges such as the interpretation of forecasts and the adoption of anticipatory adaptation techniques remain. The research underscores the importance of understanding farmers' adaptation strategies and the need for targeted interventions to enhance resilience in agricultural systems facing climate change impacts.

Published: February 2025

Thymoma is a rare tumor of the thymus gland. The incidence is 1.3 cases per 1 million population. Only 4% of patients have thymoma in ectopic localization. Only a few such clinical cases have been described in Russia. Differential diagnostics of ectopic thymomas with other neoplasms is extremely difficult. The difficulty also lies in the choice of treatment, since there are currently no clear clinical recommendations for the treatment of ectopic thymoma. This study presents an unusual clinical case of ectopic location of thymoma in the mediastinum, registered in September 2022. The complexity of differential diagnosis of thymoma B1 and lymphoma is highlighted, and the relevance of combining histological and immunohistochemical methods in making the correct diagnosis is proven. In addition, the reasons for late detection of the neoplasm and controversial issues regarding the radicality of the operation performed are considered.

Published: February 2025

Background. With prolonged mechanical ventilation, which is necessary for patients with critical conditions and prolonged surgical interventions, the risk of developing cicatricial stenosis of the trachea is high. Currently, there are no uniform standards of prevention and an algorithm for the treatment of this serious complication, which in some cases leads to disability of the patient and fatal outcomes. The purpose of this work was a brief review of the literature on the problem of post-intubation tracheal stenosis and a demonstration of a clinical case of successful radical treatment of a patient. Materials and methods. The article presents a clinical case of reconstructive surgical treatment of a patient with decompensated cicatricial tracheal stenosis (90%), detected 2 months after prolonged mechanical ventilation (ventilator). Result. During dynamic follow-up 6 months after radical surgical treatment, the patient was not diagnosed with signs of respiratory failure and recurrence of tracheal stenosis, confirmed by CT data of the chest organs and bronchoscopy. Conclusions. Patients on long-term ventilation should be prevented from tracheal stenosis. Depending on the level, extent, and degree of tracheal stenosis, a personalized treatment strategy for the patient should be chosen. With the development of decompensated stenosis, radical surgical treatment is the method of choice.

Published: February 2025

Background. Industrial zones are a special type of anthropogenically disturbed ecosystems. The species composition and morphoecological organization of ground beetles in such areas may differ from natural ecosystems. The purpose of the research is to study the species biodiversity of ground beetles and the range of their life forms in industrial zones in the city of Tula. Materials and methods. The material for the study was 1675 specimens of ground beetles collected in 2017–2021 in the sanitary protection zones of two metallurgical plants, as well as in control areas. Results. In the areas of metallurgical enterprises and in control areas, 38 species of Carabidae belonging to 18 genera were identified. The control area, located in the meadow ecosystem, has the highest species abundance of carabide fauna. 30 species (78.95 %) were recorded in this area. The control area in the forest ecosystem includes 26 species (68.42 %), model areas near the Tulachermet plant – 22 species (57.89 %), Kosogorsky Metallurgical Plant – 19 species (50.00 %). In the study areas, 9 life forms of ground beetles were identified, representing 2 class – zoophages (7 groups) and mixophytophages (2 groups). Among the predatory forms, litter-soil burrowing stratobionts dominate (7 species, 18.42 %), among mixophytophages – harpaloid geochortobionts (11 species, 28.95 %). The spectrum of life forms in the control area in the meadow includes 9 groups, in the control area in the forest – 8 groups, in the Kosogorsk Metallurgical Plant – 6 groups, in the Tulachermet area – 5 groups. Conclusions. In the industrial zones of Tula, a decrease in the species composition of ground beetles is observed compared to control areas. Near metallurgical enterprises, there is a disturbance in the structural characteristics of the carabid fauna, which is confirmed by the values of biodiversity indices. Also, in the areas оf metallurgical enterprises, changes are observed in the spectrum of life forms, namely a decrease in their number and ratio.
Analyzing and Validating the Role of Genes Related to Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Signaling in the Prognosis of Pancreatic Cancer
Authors: Wang Anbin , Yang Hong , Zhu Yuming
Published: February 2025

Aims:

We aimed to develop a reliable prognostic tool related to glucagon-like
peptide-1 (GLP-1) for guiding treatment of pancreatic cancer (PC).

Background:

The treatment strategies for PC being greatly advanced the prognosis of
cancer still remains unfavorable.

Objective:

To develop a RiskScore model for evaluating PC prognosis.

Method:

The bulk RNA-seq data of PC patients were obtained from the UCSCXena and
GEO database, and the GSE156405 cohort was used for single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-
seq) analysis in the “Seurat” package. Firstly, the gene expression and mutation in
the PC samples were analyzed to perform differentially expressed genes (DEGs) analysis
using the “limma” package. The “survival” package was employed to conduct un/-
multivariate Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival analysis. Secondly, a
RiskScore model was developed and assessed using the “glmnet” and “timeROC” packages.
Next, the CIBERSORT algorithm and the ssGSEA method were applied for immune
infiltration analysis and calculation of the immune cell scores, respectively. Finally,
pathway enrichment analysis was conducted using gene set enrichment analysis
(GSEA).

Results:

Most GLP-1 signaling genes were overexpressed in the PC samples with multiple
mutation types. LASSO analysis selected 3 GLP-1 genes for the development of a
RiskScore model with a high classification accuracy (AUC >0.6). Notably, high-risk patients
showed a significantly shorter survival time in both training and validation sets. In
addition, as an independent factor, the RiskScore was further used to establish a nomogram
model for the survival prediction of PC in clinical practice. The tumor microenvironment
(TME) analysis revealed that low-risk patients with more abundant immune
and stroma components had higher levels of anti-tumor immune cell infiltration (such as
activated B and T cells), while the proliferation pathways (E2F targets, G2M checkpoint)
were significantly activated in the high-risk groups. The genes in the RiskScore model
may affect the survival of PC patients through modulating the activities of NK cells and
macrophages.

Conclusion:

We demonstrated that the GLP-1 signaling affected PC development and
developed a reliable RiskSocre model for the prognosis assessment in PC. Our findings
are expected to improve PC diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice.

Authors: Mohammadi Mohammad , Kiani Amir , Aghaz Faranak , Arkan Elham , Rashidi Khodabakhsh , Najafi Masoud
Published: February 2025

Background:

Radiation-induced damage to the hematopoietic and gastrointestinal
systems, especially the intestine, is a major concern for individuals exposed to whole-body
radiation during an accident. Resveratrol has shown potential in mitigating radiation-induced
toxicity, but its efficacy may be limited by its low bioavailability. In this study, we aimed
to evaluate the effectiveness of resveratrol-loaded polymeric-based nanocapsules in mitigating
radiation-induced injury in the hematopoietic system and intestine after whole-body exposure
to radiation.

Methods:

Sixty male mice were randomly divided into four groups: control, radiation
(single dose of 7.2 Gy of X-ray) only, resveratrol-loaded polymeric-based nanocapsules
(RES-ACN) only, and radiation plus RES-ACN. Mice were exposed to a single dose of
7.2 Gy of X-ray radiation. RES-ACN was administered to the mice starting 24h after irradiation
up to day 7 post-irradiation. Then, blood and tissue samples were collected for complete
blood count and histopathological and biochemical evaluation. Survival analyses were also
conducted.

Results:

The findings showed that RES-ACN significantly mitigated radiation-induced injury
to the hematopoietic system and intestine. The histopathological evaluation showed the
mitigation of villi shortening, inflammation, and mucous layer thickness following treatment
with RES-ACN. Biochemical evaluation also demonstrated a significant increase in the
activity of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase and a significant reduction in the
concentrations of malondialdehyde and nitric oxide. Treatment with RES-ACN also showed a
significant improvement in some of the blood parameters and increased survival compared to
radiation only.

Conclusion:

The findings suggest that resveratrol-loaded polymeric-based nanocapsules can be
an effective approach to mitigate radiation-induced damage to the hematopoietic system and
intestine after whole-body exposure to X-ray radiation in mice. Further research is needed to
explore the optimal dose and timing of resveratrol administration and to investigate the potential
for clinical translation of this approach.

Published: February 2025

Interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) is induced by conceptus-derived interferon tau (IFNT) in the endometrium during early pregnancy in ruminants, including goats. The expression of ISG15 in extra-uterine tissues, such as peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs), suggests its potential as a novel pregnancy biomarker. The onset and length of the breeding season in goats are influenced by various factors such as breed, latitude, climate, photoperiod, etc. The Osmanabadi, an Indian goat breed, known for its early maturity, prolificacy, and good dressing percentage, was the focus of the current study. The present investigation was designed to study the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) profile of Caprine ISG15 (cpISG15) in PBLs using real-time reverse transcription PCR (qPCR) on days 0, 13, 17, 21, 25 and 30 post-service in this breed. Pregnancies were confirmed by measuring plasma progesterone (P4) concentration and conducting trans-abdominal ultrasound scanning. The study revealed that the expression of cpISG15 mRNA was 5 to 8-fold higher (P < 0.05) during early pregnancy on days 17, 21, and 25 compared to day 0. There was no significant difference in the expression of cpISG15 mRNA between days 0 and 30 post-service. Progesterone concentration was higher on days 17, 21, and 25 in pregnant does compared to day 0. The presence of fetal parts was observed by ultrasound between 45 and 90 d of pregnancy. It is concluded that the detection of elevated ISG15 expression in PBLs during the early stages of pregnancy may be used as a marker for pregnancy detection in does.
A Review on Enhancing Biogas Production and Process Stability in Anaerobic Digestion through Biochar Integration
Authors: Ruti Jumbom
Published: February 2025

Biochar produced from different biomass sources like softwoods (pine, spruce, fir) and hardwoods (oak, maple, birch,
teak), is an excellent additive for anaerobic digestion. The pine (Pinus spp.) biochar with its porous structure is ideal for
microorganisms to attach and improve methane production. Spruce (Picea spp.) biochar, recognized for its large surface area,
enhances microbe interactions and accelerates gas generation. The Oak (Quercus spp.) biochar has a significant effect on
stability and prevents extreme fluctuations in pH that may adversely affect digestion. The Maple (Acer spp.) biochar aids in
facilitating electron transfer for optimal AD operation. The Fir (Abies spp.) biochar enhances the retention of nutrients while
supporting the growth of microorganisms, resulting in a relatively stable digestion environment. More recently, the effects of
biochar on ammonia build-up reduction and stabilization of biogas yield in addition to general improvement of system
performance with teak-based biochar for AD have also been found.

Published: February 2025

This research enriches the rare discussion of adaptation especially related to representation of local culture in cross-border film adaptations. While many studies focus on narrative and thematic changes, in-depth analysis of how local culture, such as social values, traditions, and Indonesian identity are adapted in the story is still minimal. This research explores how Korean cultural elements in the film Miracle in Cell No. 7 are adapted into Indonesian culture and are adjusted to Indonesian values in the adaptation version. Using the theory of transstylization by Genette (1997) and the theory of seven cultural elements by Koentjaraningrat (1986), it was found that five cultural elements underwent changes, namely language, religion, knowledge system, living equipment, and livelihood system. This is not only because Korea and Indonesia basically have different culture but also influenced by the different religious landscape. This research contributes to the understanding of how Indonesian local culture is integrated in movie adaptations without changing the core of the original story.

Published: February 2025

Sport satisfaction is a crucial construct for sport psychologists, given its
significant impact on athletes' psychological well-being and engagement in
sport activities. We aimed to explore the relations of demographic,
contextual, and personal factors with athlete sport satisfaction. A battery
of measures, including the Athletic Satisfaction Questionnaire (ASQ), Big
Five Inventory (BFI), and Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire
(ESCQ45), was administered to a sample of 277 athletes (41.1% female) from
Bosnia and Herzegovina. The sample represented a wide range of 16 different
sports, encompassing both team (n = 170) and individual sports (n = 107),
across various levels of competitive success. The analyses revealed that
emotional competence and personality traits were the strongest correlates of
sport satisfaction. Additionally, our results underscore the significance of
the type of sport (team or individual) as a moderator, suggesting its
importance in future research.
Possibilities for using Hydrogen as an Energy Innovation and accessibility solution for sustainable development in Africa
Authors:   , Mkaratigwa Edmond
Published: February 2025

This doctoral research investigates the potential of hydrogen as a transformative energy solution for energy poverty and advance sustainable development in rural communities, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7). It highlights existing research gaps surrounding hydrogen's application and socioeconomic impacts in African contexts. The study emphasises narrowing the largely binary and siloed approaches to technological and economic development, advocating for collaborative efforts between the Global North and South to eliminate dependency theory ideas, fostering equitable partnerships. The theoretical framework integrates corporate sustainability, sustainable development, and disaster risk reduction as mechanisms for poverty alleviation in Africa. Key objectives include assessing the global energy mix, identifying energy accessibility gaps in Zimbabwe, and exploring hydrogen's potential as an alternative energy vector. Employing an interdisciplinary approach, the research developed a tailored Alkaline Electrolyser for use in Mukaratigwa Village. Its applicability was evaluated through a mixed methods strategy that combined technical performance assessments with qualitative ethnographic research to gauge social acceptance. This methodology involved primary data collection from the study location and secondary data from key national energy suppliers and related policy-making institutions, accessed for analysis through a comprehensive literature review, including a global scan of original equipment manufacturers and associated hydrogen brands. Results suggest that hydrogen not only has the potential to improve energy accessibility but significantly mitigate deforestation, fulfilling sustainability criteria outlined in SDG 7. However, the study identifies critical barriers such as regulatory challenges and infrastructural deficits, underscoring the need for supportive public policies to stimulate investment in green hydrogen technology. Ultimately, this research informs policy and posits that hydrogen can diversify Africa's energy portfolio, contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals. It advocates for continuous collaboration, foster innovation, and further research to address challenges relevant to hydrogen deployment, aiming to enhance socio-economic development in climate-vulnerable communities.

Cross-Domain Transfer Learning: Enhancing Deep Neural Networks for Low-Resource Environments
Authors: Cruz Maria Elena , Miguel David
Published: February 2025

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved remarkable success in various domains; however, their performance often relies heavily on large-scale, high-quality labeled datasets, which are scarce in low-resource environments. Cross-domain transfer learning has emerged as a promising technique for adapting pre-trained models from data-rich source domains to low-resource target domains to address this limitation. This study explores innovative strategies to enhance the performance and applicability of DNNs through cross-domain transfer learning, focusing on challenges such as domain disparity, data scarcity, and computational constraints.  We evaluate several transfer learning approaches, including feature-based transfer, parameter fine-tuning, and adversarial domain adaptation, across diverse healthcare, agriculture, and natural language processing applications. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in model accuracy and generalization in low-resource environments, with accuracy gains of up to 20% compared to models trained from scratch. Additionally, we analyze the impact of transfer learning on reducing training time and computational requirements, making it a viable solution for resource-constrained settings.  Despite its potential, the study highlights critical challenges, including negative transfer, model interpretability, and ethical considerations in domain transfer. Addressing these issues, we propose a framework for selecting optimal source domains and enhancing model robustness through hybrid techniques and unsupervised learning.  This research emphasizes the transformative potential of cross-domain transfer learning in bridging the gap between data-rich and low-resource environments, paving the way for more equitable and efficient applications of deep learning technologies worldwide.

Published: February 2025

El estridentismo es considerado como la primera vanguardia en México. El grupo estridentista, cuya producción narrativa fue por lo menos escasa, encontró alojamiento en el plano impreso de El Universal Ilustrado, mismo que se convertiría en el hábitat natural de Arqueles Vela, el narrador por excelencia del movimiento. Ahí, habría de confeccionar la que sería su obra más conocida: La señorita etcétera y que es el objeto de nuestro estudio debido a la multiplicidad de formas de representar las experiencias sensibles, así como por los esporádicos puentes que establece con otras artes. Los sucesos de La señorita etcétera son sintéticos y profundamente visuales, dan la sensación de estar conformados por fotogramas de una película de celuloide en los cuales vemos con detalle las imágenes que la sensibilidad del protagonista ha registrado. Asimismo, resulta fundamental la relación que guarda el texto con los componentes visuales que le acompañan. De esta manera, en la presente investigación buscaremos identificar en qué consisten y cómo operan los procesos de representación y recreación literaria en una obra vanguardista de carácter antimimético, a través de la reflexión en torno a la descripción, la metáfora, la poética, la memoria, la experiencia erótica y la narrativa visual. Todo ello con la finalidad de ubicar y analizar en la novela la forma en la que se representan y recrean los diferentes elementos que configuran la realidad y su experiencia sensible.
Dignity as a Source of Freedoms and Rights of Children in Poland
Authors: Burzymowska Magdalena
Published: February 2025

Dignity is a fundamental value in human life, in human social functioning, as well as in the legal order. It is inalienable, inherent and inviolable. In Poland, human dignity is guaranteed by Article 30 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. The indicated regulation determines the position of a person in the legal system, grants him subjectivity and takes away the right of state power to determine his status. Dignity is possessed by every human being, regardless of age, gender, race, religion. It is also possessed by children. The Polish Constitution ensures the protection of children’s rights while safeguarding their dignity, which should not be abused or restricted by others. It should be a fundamental value during childhood. Granting subjective status to children means that those responsible for the actual realization of their rights are limited in their actions, while at the same time they are obliged to respect them.

Published: February 2025

An innovative approach is proposed to improve capacity performance by including dynamic reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (DRIS) in the downlink (DL) non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) power domain (PD) systems with massive multiple-input, multiple-output) (mMIMO) in the setting of 6G wireless networks. To guarantee the system’s best performance in different scenarios, we used a unique optimization approach to distribute power among users efficiently using the water-filling algorithm. Analysis of the influence of different deployment densities of static, and DRIS on the performance of the system is presented in this paper. The effect on the effective area spectral efficiency (EASE), and the ability of RIS to reduce latency and handle higher user loads are also discussed. The paper also demonstrates practical 6G configurations, including 256 quadrature amplitude modulation (256-QAM), channel state information (CSI), and successive interference cancellation (SIC). The results indicate that including DRIS in the mMIMO DL NOMA PD system significantly boosts capacity, and EASE while decreasing latency. Implementing logarithmic water filling has proven to be a highly effective method for distributing power location to maximize the capabilities of suggested systems. These results establish crucial information for enhancing future wireless communication systems, and in agreement with the estimated equation, the Monte Carlo results show that our work is accurate and reliable. Integrating the DRIS with four distinct user groups (4, 8, 16, and 32) improves the system’s capacity performance by 25%, 25.01%, 25.02%, and 25.03% respectively, compared to the performance conventional static RIS that applied in other related works.

Sistem Proteksi Thermal Overload Relay (TOR) pada Motor Induksi 3 Phasa sebagai Penghancur Batu Bara di PT. Mitrabara Adiperdana Tbk
Authors: Sartika Linda , Prasetia Abdul Muis , Krisnawati Mega
Published: February 2025

Motor induksi yang digunakan sebagai penggerak sistem penghancur batu bara sering kali bekerja secara berlebihan yang berpotensi menyebabkan kerusakan akibat panas berlebih. Kondisi ini dapat memicu trip pada sistem, sehingga mengganggu proses produksi. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan sistem proteksi yang andal untuk membatasi atau mencegah gangguan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pengumpulan data dari sistem proteksi motor induksi di PT Mitrabara Adiperdana Tbk, diikuti dengan perhitungan setelan relay proteksi, termasuk pengaturan Over Current Relay (OCR). Hasil perhitungan ini kemudian dibandingkan dengan pengaturan relay yang diterapkan di lapangan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, ditemukan bahwa pengaturan Thermal Overload Relay (TOR) di lapangan cenderung lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan hasil perhitungan matematis berdasarkan data arus kerja motor. Perbedaan ini dipengaruhi oleh perubahan peran mesin penghancur dari penghancur utama menjadi penghancur cadangan. Ketika mesin berfungsi sebagai penghancur utama, arus kerja motor mencapai 35 A. Namun, setelah beralih menjadi penghancur cadangan, arus kerja turun secara signifikan menjadi 9,9 A. Selain itu, terlihat adanya variasi terhadap daya yang dihasilkan tiap bulannya. Pada Januari 2023, daya motor primer mencapai 9,91 kW, sementara pada Februari 2023 daya menurun menjadi 9,05 kW.

One of the most pressing issues in modern healthcare is finding ways to optimize the work of the emergency medical service, its deep reform, and the introduction of information and digital technologies into its organization.

The aim of this study is to create an application for calling an emergency medical team through the user›s personal account.

Materials and methods. A central call reception service is being created through a mobile application operating on Android-based systems compatible with version 11 or higher. Android is capable of performing all the functions of the web service.

Results. To facilitate interaction between the caller and the EMS team, a corresponding web service is created, enabling calls to 03 or 103 numbers. The service provides information about the stages of call processing. Implementing the service will reduce the number of phone calls to the 03 line, including repeat calls, and reduce the waiting time for an operator. To create a patient profile in the call reception service, each registered user must enter their data or the data of relatives for the possibility of calling EMS for them and subsequently track information about the call. Creating an application for calling EMS teams through the subscriber›s personal account allows: 1) рromptly forwarding EMS calls (often there is a need for prolonged dialing due to line congestion), improving subscriber or their relatives› accessibility to the EMS service and to the call reception dispatcher; 2) the service contains information (archive) about previous calls, including information about chronic diseases; 3) receiving feedback on the quality of medical care provided; 4) tracking the movement of the EMS team and indicating the arrival time of the team.
Über Ordnung und Elefanten – Ein Hintergrundmodell für die KIP: Versuch einer Systematik
Authors: Rosenberg Lutz
Published: February 2025

Es wurde ein Modell vorgestellt, in dem die relevanten Dimensionen für den therapeutischen Prozeß in der tiefenpsychologisch gegründeten K.i.P. auch optisch so dargestellt werden, daß sie als praxistaugliches Ankerfeld für den Therapeuten dienen können, auf das er sich immer wieder beziehen kann, besonders in schwierigen Situationen der Therapie. Es soll das Undulieren zwischen intuitiv- empathischen Prozeß und Konzeptualisierungen, das Aufstellen und Überprüfen von Hypothesen, also Anfangs- und Aktualdiagnostik erleichtern. Es werden acht Aufmerksamkeits-Ebenen beschrieben: Psychische Struktur, Symptomatik, Lebenssituation, Lebensgeschichte, Übertragung und Gegenübertragung, Sym- bolik und Prozeß. Ich gehe davon aus, daß sich über diese Dimensionen Psycho- therapie hinreichend vollständig erfassen läßt. Das Modell ist „elefantologisch“, i. e. ganzheitlich und auf Vollständigkeit orientiert, inhaltlich offen und als allge- meines Rahmenmodell konzipiert. Die dynamischen Wechselwirkungen der Dimensionen und Konstrukte werden herausgestellt, Bezüge zu Kybernetik und Systemtheorie werden angedacht.

Teachers should not just live by their opinions: evidence-based education
Authors: Ponce Gea Ana Isabel , Pedreño-Plana Marina , Ibáñez-López Francisco Javier , Sánchez-Martín Micaela
Published: February 2025

The teaching profession has evolved over time and has always been based on decision-making. Evidence-based education (EBE) is based on using existing scientific knowledge to take the best decisions, integrating scientific evidence, teaching experience and the reality of the students. To this end, a series of steps are proposed: formulation of the research problem, information search, critical reading of the information, decision making and implementation. Approaching decision-making from this perspective involves incorporating the best scientific evidence into the professional activity of teachers, as one of the most important challenges currently facing the profession.
Resumen
La profesión docente ha ido evolucionando a lo largo del tiempo y siempre ha estado basada en la toma de decisiones. La educación basada en la evidencia (EBE) apuesta por utilizar el conocimiento científico existente para tomar las mejores decisiones, integrando la evidencia científica, la experiencia docente y la realidad del alumnado. Para ello, se proponen una serie de pasos: formulación del problema de investigación, búsqueda de información, lectura crítica de la información y toma de decisiones y puesta en práctica. Abordar la toma de decisiones desde esta perspectiva supone incorporar las mejores evidencias científicas en la actividad profesional de los/as docentes, como uno de los retos más importantes en la actualidad para la profesión.

This study presents an experimental investigation into the hypergolic ignition process of nontoxic propellants. Multispectral high-speed imaging was employed to capture the dynamic combustion process and temperature history across three distinct ignition setups. Six fuel samples containing different proportions of [Formula: see text]-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) and [Formula: see text]-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), catalyzed with 1–2 wt% copper nitrate trihydrate (referred to as PAHyp 1), paired with rocket-grade hydrogen peroxide (RGHP) as the oxidizer, were selected. Formulations with higher concentrations of TMEDA containing 2 wt% catalyst paired with 95 wt% RGHP yielded ultrafast ignition delays as short as 7.6 ms in drop tests. Additionally, as binary droplet collision is a common occurrence in spray combustion, an acoustic levitator was proposed to study the ignition behaviors of droplet–droplet collision. The collision of binary droplets in the levitator, conducted at lower impact velocities, resulted in a minimum ignition delay time of about 17 ms. It was observed that depending on the size of the droplets and collision angle, ignition may not occur. This new approach to studying the dynamics of hypergolic ignition without “wall effects” has shown promise due to its ease of implementation. Finally, two fuel samples were selected to conduct ignition tests under flow conditions with an impinging jet apparatus. Remarkably, it was demonstrated that the addition of only 1 wt% is sufficient to achieve fast ignition with 90% hydrogen peroxide. Results from this new recipe indicate that samples containing at least 50% MDEA remain chemically stable for over 1 year and demonstrate competitive ignition and thermodynamic performance compared to conventional hydrazine-based fuels.
Relationship between Emotional Intelligence, Internet Addiction, and Sociodemographic Factors among University Students: A Cross-sectional Study

Published: February 2025

Background

The Internet has impacted society, enhancing accessibility but also fostering dependency, particularly among youth struggling with emotional regulation, leading to Internet Addiction (IA). University students navigating a transitional phase often lack effective emotional regulation skills, increasing susceptibility to academic and social pressures that contribute to this addiction.

Objectives

This study investigates the intricate relationships between Emotional Intelligence (EI), IA, and sociodemographic factors.

Material and Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 students aged 18–25 from 32 Bangladeshi universities from July 26th, 2024, to October 10th, 2024. The research utilized a Personal Information Form, Bengali versions of the EI Scale, and the IA Test.

Results

Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant (P < 0.001), moderate inverse correlation (r = −0.463) between EI and IA, indicating higher EI scores correlated with lower IA scores. Regression analysis showed IA negatively predicted EI (Beta = −0.397). Females had higher average EI scores than males, while males had higher average IA scores than females. Age, gender, educational qualification, socioeconomic status, number of family members, residential division, and area did not demonstrate significant associations with the observed variations in IA and EI levels among the student sample.

Conclusion

Future longitudinal studies should explore links between EI and IA to better understand the development of IA over time in relation to EI. Furthermore, interventions to enhance EI, focusing on emotional regulation skills, coping strategies, and interpersonal relationships, could effectively reduce IA and promote healthier internet habits.
Darf sich der Ethik- und Philosophieunterricht Ignoranz gegenüber der Religionskunde leisten?
Authors: Lorenz Manuel
Published: February 2025

Eine von religiösen Institutionen und Bekenntnissen unabhängige Beschäftigung mit dem Themenkomplex Religion(en) darf mit einigem Recht als ein zentrales Bildungsanliegen in multireligiösen Gesellschaften gelten. Auch die Religionskunde trägt diesem Anliegen Rechnung. Wo aber ist der angemessene Platz für eine religionskundliche Beschäftigung mit Religion(en)? In welchen Fächern sollte religionskundliche Bildung untergebracht werden? Oder ist womöglich der Status eines eigenen Fachs gerechtfertigt? Der folgende Artikel möchte einen klar begrenzen Beitrag zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen leisten, indem er das Potenzial von Religionskunde für den Ethik- und Philosophieunterricht betrachtet. Bei dieser Betrachtung wird sich zeigen, dass derzeit wenig dafürspricht, der Religionskunde einen nennenswerten Platz in Fächern einzuräumen, deren primäre Bezugsdisziplin die Philosophie ist.

We report the development of polyacrylamide hydrogels with photoswitchable stiffness using solely visible light and their application to cell culture. We have previously shown that azobenzenes can control the binding constants of dynamic covalent boronic ester bonds (Chem. Sci. 2018, 9, 5987; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2020, 42, 19969). Here we show that these photoswitchable dynamic bonds can be incorporated into polyacrylamide hydrogels that are stable for at least 10 days in buffer without changes in stiffness or photoresponse. Reversible stiffening and softening are achieved with green and blue irradiation, respectively. We prepared soft (877 ± 79 Pa) and stiff (8.4 ± 0.3 kPa) hydrogels that undergo photoreversible changes in modulus over at least 3 light irradiation cycles. In vitro studies show that the hydrogels are nontoxic to HepG2 cells. The cells undergo the expected changes in morphology, actin stress fiber formation, and Yes-associated protein (YAP) subcellular localization upon stiffening and softening the hydrogel substrate with visible light. These results validate the suitability of our visible-light-controlled hydrogel as a versatile platform for cellular mechanotransduction studies.
