RESUMO Objetivo avaliar a percepção da fadiga e da autoeficácia para a amamentação em mulheres e homens transexuais. Métodos a pesquisa foi realizada virtualmente, mediante preenchimento das escalas de Severidade da Fadiga e de Autoeficácia da Amamentação – Versão Curta e questões socioculturais e demográficas. Os resultados foram analisados pelo teste Qui-quadrado (significância de 5%). Resultados participaram 334 pessoas, entre 18 e 43 anos (31,74 ± 5,29). A maioria era residente do Nordeste e do Sudeste brasileiros e possuía pós-graduação completa (n=182, 54,49%). A maior parte das lactantes (n=314; 94,01%) apresentou fadiga, estando esse fator relacionado à escolaridade (p=0,002), ao auxílio com o bebê (p=0,013), à falta de ajuda com o bebê em razão do receio de contágio por Covid-19 (p=0,003), ao número de consultas no pré-natal (p=0,025) e ao tipo de parto (p<0,001). A maioria obteve classificação média de autoeficácia, impactando esses resultados a oferta da mamadeira (p=0,018), a autoeficácia pareada com escolaridade e renda mensal (p<0,001) e se a lactante deixou de receber ajuda com o bebê por medo de contágio e diagnóstico de Covid-19 (p=0,018). Conclusão a fadiga em alta intensidade e a percepção da autoeficácia média evidenciam a necessidade de intervenção interdisciplinar o mais breve possível às lactantes brasileiras, a fim de aprimorar a saúde mental materna durante a amamentação e, assim, evitar o desmame precoce.

Analysis of International Measures to Reduce the Environmental Pollution caused by Oil Tankers
Authors: Ansari Mahyari Alireza , Mahmoudi Hadi
Published: February 2025

Due to the high use of the sea and the diversity and speed of discharge of pollutants into the sea nowadays, the self-purification capacity of marine ecosystems is reduced, and the effects of the entry of these substances can hardly be neutralized. Various human activities through maritime transport have led to the entrance of oil pollutants through current ship operations and maritime accidents. This paved the way for the emergence of a global mindset on the need to protect the marine environment from oil pollution and take actions to prevent, cooperate and deal with pollution, and, ultimately, to compensate the victims of these accidents. The purpose of this study is to research the impact of international actions taken to reduce the environmental pollution from oil tankers. This article has been carried out using a descriptive-analytical method. Based on studies conducted, the authors conclude that international rules and regulations have defined the limits of the rights and obligations of governments and international organizations in reducing environmental pollution from oil tankers. What needs to be done is to find universal support for these rules and regulations and their implementation. The perfect implementation of International Conventions for the proper transportation, collection, recycling, treatment, processing, and disposal of these materials will have a significant effect on the reduction of marine pollution caused by maritime transport.
El transnacionalismo como una forma de reorganización de las sociedades desde una concepción ontológica del ser
Authors: Da Silva Antunes de Souza Maria Claudia , Sidnei Soares Josemar , Carreño-Bustamante María Teresa
Published: February 2025

El presente artículo tiene dos objetivos principales. El primero es demostrar que la estructura formal de nuestras sociedades, tal como se las concibe hoy, no puede producir respuestas eficaces a los fenómenos provocados, en particular, por el acelerado proceso de desarrollo científico y tecnológico que caracteriza nuestra historia reciente. El segundo es presentar la posibilidad de crear organizaciones transnacionales como una alternativa a este problema, enfatizando, sin embargo, en la necesidad de rescatar supuestos metafísicos y ontológicos sobre la naturaleza humana para dirigir la construcción de este nuevo modelo de institucionalidad. Para lograr estos objetivos, en primer lugar, repasaremos brevemente las dos grandes corrientes de pensamiento que se ocupan del origen de la sociedad, es decir; el naturalismo y el contractualismo. Tras explicar algunas de sus importantes implicaciones, se procederá a un análisis de la estructura y los problemas que están provocando la crisis de los Estados modernos. Finalmente, abordaremos el tema de la transaccionalidad, enfatizando en que la creación de instituciones de esta naturaleza puede representar una gran oportunidad para redefinir nuestros valores y nuestras relaciones sociales. Para llevar a cabo este trabajo, utilizaremos el método deductivo con un examen bibliográfico, con el fin de establecer correlaciones entre hechos y conceptos relevantes del tema, buscando hacer explícitas las implicaciones lógicas y empíricas que surgen de estas correlaciones.

This protocol provides guidance on the appropriate collection of bee specimens or tissue samples for molecular analysis, with an emphasis on generating genetic and genomic data while ensuring tissue integrity. Specifically, the protocol focuses on tissue collection and storage methods, including relevant specimen metadata recording and reporting, but does not cover any downstream handling or analyses, which vary depending on the aims of a given project or study. This protocol is specifically designed for freshly collected, individual bee specimens intended for genetic, genomic, or other molecular analyses. While molecular approaches to bee monitoring are not the primary focus, we emphasize their promising role for future applications. This protocol is part of a series developed in association with the U.S. National Native Bee Monitoring Network to standardize bee monitoring practices.
REEVALUATING ASSESSMENT PRACTICES IN HIGHER EDUCATION: IMPLEMENTING PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH DIGITAL PORTFOLIOSFOR FIRST – YEAR DATA ANALYSIS STUDENTS
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Liashenko Larysa V. , Liashenko Kateryna A.
Published: February 2025

Traditional methods of semester-based knowledge assessment in higher education institutions, predominantly relying on written tests and oral presentations, primarily evaluate the outcomes of students’ work during the semester while often overlooking the process of learning itself. This approach may limit opportunities for students to engage in meaningful reflection on their academic progress throughout the term. This study explores the implementation of digital portfolios (DPs) as an alternative assessment method aimed at fostering continuous learning, self-analysis, and personal growth among first-year students specializing in Data Analysis. The paper synthesizes and examines the features of incorporating DPs into practical sessions of professional English course for future analysts, employing the constructivist principle. This approach not only enhances students’ language competence through engaging and relevant materials but also improves their technical skills essential for data analysis tasks. By using DPs, students document their learning journey throughout the semester, enabling instructors to provide both formative and summative analytical feedback. This feedback mechanism fosters students’ self-awareness regarding their proficiency in specific topics and identifies problematic areas requiring further attention and adjustment. Encouraging undergraduates to engage in self-analysis and critical thinking, DPs align the learning objectives of specialized courses with the goals of the practical English language curriculum. The findings of this study demonstrate that DPs are a valuable tool in higher education, enhancing the evaluation of project-based work among first-year students, promoting lifelong learning skills, fostering engagement in creative tasks, and offering a more comprehensive approach to analyzing academic performance during the semester. Moreover, DPs provide instructors with detailed insights into students’ knowledge levels, supporting the development of key skills essential for both academic success and career planning.
Certificação ou Exclusão? Fatores que Determinam o Sucesso no Encceja
Authors: Santos Felipe Nathan Ferreira dos , Sátiro Renato Maximo
Published: February 2025

O Exame Nacional para Certificação de Competências de Jovens e Adultos foi criado em 2012, constituindo-se em uma política para certificação do ensino fundamental e médio, e correção da defasagem educacional da população brasileira. Neste artigo, buscou-se analisar os fatores que influenciam a proficiência dos participantes do exame, com o objetivo de compreender melhor como as desigualdades sociais estão relacionadas aos resultados dos candidatos. Examinou-se o perfil dos participantes do Encceja, tanto no ensino fundamental quanto no ensino médio, e investigou-se quais fatores estão associados à proficiência dos candidatos. O foco principal da análise recaiu sobre características socioeconômicas, como gênero, cor/raça, renda, background familiar e região geográfica, uma vez que esses fatores são frequentemente apontados na literatura como determinantes de desigualdades educacionais. Os resultados confirmaram o que a literatura já havia sugerido: o Encceja, apesar de ser direcionado a um público em situação socioeconômica desfavorável, contribui para a reprodução de desigualdades, uma vez que a probabilidade de certificação está fortemente ligada a esses fatores socioeconômicos, beneficiando os candidatos menos vulneráveis. Portanto, o estudo destaca a necessidade de implementar medidas que proporcionem oportunidades mais equitativas para aqueles que desejam continuar seus estudos, a fim de reduzir a desigualdade no acesso à educação no país.
Palavras-chave: Educação. Desigualdade. Ensino Formal.
Abstract
The Exame Nacional para Certificação de Competências de Jovens e Adultos (Encceja) was created in 2012 as a policy for certifying elementary and high school education, and addressing the educational gap among the Brazilian population. This article aimed to analyze the factors influencing participants' proficiency in the Exam, with the objective of better understanding how social inequalities are related to the candidates' results. The profile of Encceja participants, at both elementary and high school levels, was examined, and factors associated with candidates' proficiency were investigated. The main focus of the analysis was on socioeconomic characteristics, such as gender, race/ethnicity, income, family background, and geographic region, as these factors are often identified in the literature as determinants of educational inequalities. The results confirmed what the literature had already suggested: despite being targeted at a socioeconomically disadvantaged audience, the Encceja contributes to the reproduction of inequalities, as the likelihood of certification is strongly linked to these socioeconomic factors, benefiting less vulnerable candidates. Therefore, the study highlights the need to implement measures that provide more equitable opportunities for those wishing to continue their studies, in order to reduce inequality in access to education in the country.

Authors: Gómez Garduño Josefina , García Álvarez Raquel , Chávez Pacheco Juan Luis , Rivera Espinosa Liliana , Alemón Medina Francisco Radamés
Published: February 2025

INTRODUCCIÓN: La quercetina (QT) es un flavonoide vegetal con propiedades antioxidantes y antidiabéticas que podría mejorar el tratamiento de niños y adolescentes con obesidad y diabetes. Recientemente se comercializa en suplementos alimenticios, por sus efectos benéficos en la salud. Sin embargo, no se han determinado la toxicidad y las dosis seguras de QT en humanos.
OBJETIVO: Determinar la toxicidad de QT en cultivos de células humanas sanas y evaluar su efecto sobre la movilización de glucosa extracelular.
MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Las células HA19 se cultivaron a confluencia en medio DMEM-F12 suplementado con 10% de SFB, antibiótico y antimicótico al 1%, a 37oC con atmósfera de CO2 al 5%. Se expusieron a concentraciones de QT de 0.3 a 30 μg/mL por 24 horas. Se emplearon tres presentaciones de quercetina: estándar puro (QTS), suplemento alimenticio (QTC) y extracto acuoso de moringa (Mor). Se evaluó la toxicidad de la QT por tinción de las células sobrevivientes con violeta de cristal, y la concentración extracelular de glucosa por la actividad de glucosa oxidasa.
RESULTADOS: La QTS provocó muerte celular proporcional al aumento de su concentración. La QTC fue más tóxica a bajas concentraciones. La QT en el extracto vegetal (Mor) tuvo efecto citoprotector a las concentraciones más altas. La QT indujo el transporte de glucosa desde el medio hacia las células en las tres presentaciones.
CONCLUSIONES: La QT en forma comercial (QTC) fue más citotóxica que el extracto vegetal, por lo que el flavonoide de fuente natural podría ser más seguro de consumir.

El acceso a los cuidados paliativos para los recién nacidos enfermos, sus padres y familiares en México, es todavía muy limitado en comparación con los cuidados paliativos para personas adultas; por otra parte, no es homogéneo ya que hay grandes diferencias entre aquellos que se atienden en ciudades y grandes instituciones y los que se atienden en instituciones pequeñas, principalmente en el campo. Los cuidados paliativos para los recién nacidos constituyen una prestación de salud básica dirigida a una población particularmente vulnerable. Tras la muerte, se deben proporcionar cuidados respetuosos al cuerpo según los deseos de cada familia.
Post-retirement transition: Challenges and support strategies for professional football players
Authors: Yiapanas George
Published: February 2025

The career lifespan of professional football players is often notably brief, typically spanning only a few years, which presents unique challenges when transitioning to life after retirement. Despite the inevitability of this transition, many football players find themselves inadequately prepared for the abrupt change from the structured environment of professional sports to the broader, less predictable professional world. This study seeks to identify the factors influencing the duration of their sports careers, explore the various challenges when transitioning to post-football life, and offer a set of recommendations for enhancing the various support systems. The study highlights 2025s the importance of a proactive and holistic approach to career transition, advocating for integrating comprehensive support systems that address these challenges well before retirement, helping as many retired football players as possible transition into entrepreneurial roles or start new ventures. Existing programs that support this transition are examined, with findings pointing to the need for tailored guidance, continuous education, and robust mentorship as critical components of successful transition strategies. It demonstrated that Human Resource Management [HRM] strategies are crucial for helping football players adapt to post-retirement life, offering support in various areas such as skills development, mental health, re-employment prospects and career redirection. This study contributes to the broader discourse on athlete welfare and underscores the need for continued investment in support mechanisms to ensure the well-being of professional football players both during and after their careers. By focusing on these areas, the study aims to foster environments that not only prepare football players for their eventual transition but also enable them to thrive in life beyond the playing field.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Long COVID Syndrome is characterized by persistent functional impairments following COVID-19 infection, extending for more than 12 weeks without explanation by other diagnoses. The main sequelae include impaired lung function, fatigue, muscle weakness, mobility limitations, and difficulties in performing activities of daily living. Physiotherapeutic intervention, focused on respiratory, aerobic, and resistance exercises anchored in functional activities, can improve these conditions. Objective: To assess functional alterations and analyze the effectiveness of a physiotherapeutic intervention protocol in patients with Long COVID Syndrome in Vale do Ribeira. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study conducted with patients from Registro, SP. Sociodemographic profile, pre-existing health conditions, and participants' functionality were evaluated before and after physiotherapeutic intervention. Results: Predominance of females (60.0%) and individuals with completed higher education (60.0%). Half of the participants (50.0%) were employed in public-facing roles. On average, 14 sessions per patient were conducted. There was a significant improvement in the distance covered in the six-minute walk test (from 325.1 ±94.8m to 422.6 ±120.6m, p? 0.05) and in dyspnea perception. The Barthel Index showed an increase from 91 ± 8.4 to 99 ± 3.2 after physiotherapeutic treatment (p? 0.05). Conclusion: Patients with Long COVID Syndrome presented cardiometabolic and musculoskeletal dysfunctions, as well as limitations in daily and social activities. Physiotherapeutic intervention proved effective in improving cardiorespiratory conditioning, functional capacity for physical exercise, and social participation.
VIETNAMESE EDUCATION DURING THE FEUDAL ERA
Authors: Dinh Pham Khue , Do Trang
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the significant impact of Confucianism on Vietnamese education during the feudal era, spanning from 939 to 1945. Confucianism, introduced through Chinese influence, gradually became embedded in Vietnam’s political, social, and educational systems. The Confucian philosophy of education, which emphasizes moral development, hierarchy, and social stability, shaped the Vietnamese education system by fostering the cultivation of virtuous individuals and officials for governance. This study delves into the evolution of Confucian educational ideals, their integration with Vietnam’s traditional culture, and their influence on the establishment of a bureaucratic system that supported the feudal state’s governance. Despite its contributions, Confucian education also had limitations, particularly in its rigid and rote-based methods, which hampered creativity and critical thinking. The paper aims to offer a comprehensive analysis of the dual impact—both positive and negative—of Confucian education on Vietnamese society.

Published: February 2025

Background: Raillietina spp. is one of the cestodes class worms that attacks poultry. The Raillietina species that commonly attack poultry are Raillietina echinobothrida and R. tetragona. In general, R. echinobothrida and R. tetragona are usually identified using a light microscope, but in reality these two species are still difficult to differentiate using a light microscope because the size difference is too small and they have many differences. This study compared the ultrastructural morphology of R. echinobothrida and R. tetragona, which caused minor intestinal infections in native Gallus domesticus chickens that were purchased from different traditional markets in Sidoarjo Regency. Methods: A total 57 small intestines from native chickens (Gallus domesticus) that were sold at Tulangan, Larangan, Wonoayu, Krian and Suko Markets served as the samples for this study. Using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the samples were inspected both macroscopic and microscopically. Result: With a prevalence of 57.89%, the results indicated that R. echinobothrida has a yellowish string-like body that is 16-23 cm long. It also has a round sucker and scolex that are both 0.07 ´ 0.08-0.08 ´ 0.09 mm in size, a rostellum that is armed with hooks that is 0.06 ´ 0.07-0.08 ´ 0.1 mm in size and an unsegmented, thick and short neck. The yellowish string-like body of R. tetragona, on the other hand, measures 20-28 cm in length. It has an oval scolex (0.16-0.2 mm in diameter), an oval sucker (0.04 ´ 0.09-0.05 ´ 0.01 mm in size), a rostellum armed with hooks that measures 0.03 ´ 0.05-0.04 ´ 0.06 mm and an unsegmented, thin, and long neck. Both R. echinobothrida and R. tetragona have a velvety, silky texture on their surface bodies.
TEMAS SENSÍVEIS EM HISTÓRIA: direitos humanos no contexto educacional do Colégio Jardim Balneário Meia Ponte (Goiânia-GO)
Authors: DA SILVA LUCIANA LEITE , NAZARENO ELIAS
Published: February 2025

O artigo traz uma reflexão teórica e metodológica acerca de temas relacionados aos Direitos Humanos, traçando um diálogo entre ideias históricas de estudantes, contexto sociopolítico e ensino de História. A pesquisa foi realizada no ano de 2021, com turmas do 3º ano do Ensino Médio do Colégio Estadual Jardim Balneário Meia (Goiânia-GO). Trata-se de uma experiência vivenciada no contexto da pandemia e das aulas remotas e, portanto, insere-se ainda em um dos momentos mais críticos de crise sanitária, econômica e negacionista do país. As recorrentes situações de deslegitimação dos Direitos Humanos em nossas aulas geraram as problematizações centrais de nossa investigação. Como as(os) estudantes entendem, posicionam-se e que argumentos mobilizam na análise dos Direitos Humanos? Ao conhecerem os princípios normativos da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos, as(os) estudantes foram capazes de criar narrativas críticas em defesa desses direitos? Subsidiado pela metodologia da Educação Histórica, este texto traz narrativas elaboradas pelas(os) discentes, as quais, ao serem analisadas, revelaram alguns referenciais recorrentes nas interpretações que desqualificam os Direitos Humanos. O estudo demonstrou ainda que, mesmo conhecendo o documento, permaneceram posturas de negação desse dispositivo legal. Nesse sentido, esperamos contribuir para as abordagens desse tema sensível no contexto do ensino de História.
DETERMINISMO RACIAL E O FUTEBOL BRASILEIRO: algumas reflexões sobre o racismo estrutural desde a década de 1930
Authors: FREITAS  MARCEL DE ALMEIDA , DE SÁ GABRIEL SALGADO RIBEIRO
Published: February 2025

Desde a década de 1930, visões deterministas sobre “raça” têm influenciado tanto o senso comum quanto as teorias sociais na explicação do sucesso do futebol brasileiro. Este artigo, fundamentado em uma abordagem genealógica e revisional-bibliográfica, além de trazer alguns exemplos da mídia impressa, problematiza essas perspectivas, como expressões de racismo estrutural. Tais visões: 1) reduzem comportamentos humanos à biologia, ignorando a cultura; 2) atribuem êxito e fracasso a fatores biológicos, como, por exemplo, em expressões “a seleção (não) teve raça!”; 3) sustentam o mito da democracia racial (“nos gramados somos todos iguais”); e 4) reforçam a crença que existam “raças humanas” com características inatas, desconsiderando evidências científicas contrárias. O artigo explora como essas ideias obscurecem forças socioeconômicas e culturais que moldam o futebol, perpetuando interpretações enviesadas. Por fim, enfatiza o abandono de discursos essencialistas, destacando o papel das dimensões sociais, culturais e econômicas na compreensão desse esporte.
CAIXAS QUE ARMAZENAM HISTÓRIAS: raça em Caixa Brasil (1968) e Tintas Polvo (2013)
Authors: REIS MIGUEL LUCIO DOS
Published: February 2025

Este artigo analisa duas caixas de arte produzidas por artistas brasileiras na contemporaneidade: Caixa Brasil (1968) e Tintas Polvo (2013), de Lygia Pape (1927-2004) e Adriana Varejão (1964), respectivamente. Além da compatibilidade na linguagem e no suporte, os dois objetos artísticos também partem de uma mesma temática, as histórias em torno das relações raciais no Brasil. Nesse percurso, Pape evoca a história das três raças brasileiras do Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro (IHGB) em 1844, enquanto Varejão se volta mais para a autoidentificação da população no censo de 1976, pela Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD). A partir da decomposição dos aspectos históricos de cada obra, tal como o historiador da arte alemão Erwin Panofsky, o objetivo deste estudo é evidenciar como a arte dialoga e é influenciada pela história, na mesma medida em que se analisa comparativamente a produção das caixas de arte deste artigo.

Aluminum-ion batteries are among the promising low-cost researchable batteries with huge potential, due to their three-electron redox process, high theoretical capacity, and better safety compared to lithium-ion batteries. However, the reported capacity and cyclic stability still fall short of their theoretical values. This could be due to cathodic degradation, lattice distortion of working material, and anodic corrosion. To address these issues, Nb2CTx-MoS2 composite cathodes were fabricated using Nb2CTx synthesized using the (HF-Free) green method and were further modified with MoS2 by hydrothermal process. Pouch cell (2 × 2 inches) was assembled employing Nb2CTx-MoS2 composite as a cathode and aluminum film (0.01 mm) as an anode in AlCl3/[BMIm]Cl (1.5) ionic liquid electrolyte. The modified cathode showed a specific capacity of ~350 mAh/g at a current density of 100 mA/g. The cell was able to retain nearly 98% of its coulombic efficiency after 500 cycles.
Towards Green Transportation: Predictive Modeling of Intersection Congestion Using Machine Learning for Sustainable Urban Traffic Management
Authors: Muktar Bappa , Fono Vincent , Nouboukpo Adama
Published: February 2025

One of the main consequences of urban pollution is intersection congestion, which occurs due to frequent vehicle stops. These interruptions lead to increased fuel consumption and harmful gas emissions (CO, NO2, SO2, O3), along with other pollutants such as fine particulates (PM10, PM2.5). These pollutants can adversely affect the respiratory, cardiac, and neurological health of city residents. To address the growing demand for smart and sustainable transportation systems in large cities, predicting intersection congestion using artificial intelligence offers a promising solution. In this study, we present a predictive modeling approach to classify congestion levels at intersections controlled by traffic lights. Using the CN+ dataset collected in Bremen, Germany, our methodology incorporates vehicle and environmental features to predict congestion levels, optimize traffic flow, and reduce pollutant emissions. We employ data preprocessing, feature engineering, and machine learning techniques, including an innovative feature selection method called Dual Importance Intersection Feature Selection (DIFS), which combines Random Forest (RF) and Chi-square analysis. We tested various classifiers, including RF, XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost, and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), utilizing SMOTE balancing to address the class imbalance. The results indicate that RF achieved the highest overall F1-score (0.75) and QWK score (0.54), demonstrating its robustness in congestion classification. While ensemble methods such as XGBoost, LightGBM, and CatBoost exhibited competitive performance (F1-scores between 0.71 and 0.72), ANN lagged behind in terms of F1-score (0.69) and runtime efficiency. Among all models, RF not only delivered the best balance of precision, recall, and F1-score but also outperformed others in computational efficiency, making it a suitable choice for real-time congestion prediction. These findings highlight the importance of feature selection and model selection in achieving reliable traffic congestion forecasting. This makes our approach a robust tool for managing traffic sustainably and efficiently.

Authors: Li Ading , Supanut Adul , Liu Jianxu
Published: February 2025

Against the backdrop of global efforts to achieve sustainability and low-carbon development, this study examines the impact of green finance on regional technological innovation in China, with a particular focus on the mediating role of R&D investment. Using panel data from 30 Chinese provinces spanning 2008 to 2021, we employ fixed-effects and mediation models to analyze the relationships. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between green finance and regional technological innovation, with R&D investment serving as a partial mediator in this relationship. Additionally, regional innovation and entrepreneurship capabilities strengthen the influence of green finance on R&D investment. However, in regions with higher innovation and entrepreneurship capacities, the marginal effect of R&D investment diminishes. Based on these results, the study proposes targeted policy recommendations, including enhancing green finance policies, improving financial institution services, promoting enterprise-led R&D activities, and fostering regional collaboration to achieve balanced innovation development. These insights provide both theoretical and practical implications for leveraging green finance to advance sustainable innovation.

Unravelling the Evolutionary Patterns of Genus Frontonia: An Integrative Approach with Morphological and Molecular Data
Authors: Wardani Ratih Kusuma , Ahsan Ragib , Shin Mann Kyoon
Published: February 2025

Ciliates of the genus Frontonia have been extensively studied to resolve their phylogenetic and evolutionary history, but challenges remain. This study used molecular analyses of SSU rRNA genes, phylogenetic tree reconstruction, molecular dating, and diversification analysis, together with ancestral state reconstruction of morphological traits and habitat preferences. Data included newly sequenced Korean species, GenBank records and published morphological information. Phylogenetic trees revealed paraphyly within Frontonia, identifying four groups that emerged in the Mesozoic era: Group I (~172 mya), Group II (~83 mya), Group III (~115 mya), and Group IV (~190 mya), with a common ancestor dating to ~420 mya in the Palaeozoic era. Diversification analysis revealed higher extinction rates (0.826 and 0.613 species/year) than speciation rates (0.011 and 0.016 species/year). Morphological evolution showed habitat adaptation and plasticity, with habitat transitions unrelated to contractile vacuolar traits. The SSU rRNA gene polymorphism likely contributed to the paraphyletic state of Frontonia. These results highlight the complex evolutionary patterns of the genus, shaped by genetic diversity, morphology, and environmental constrains.

Published: February 2025

Background: In Japan, artificial orbital implant materials are not approved for medical use, limiting orbital implant surgery to select centers. However, this procedure can improve the quality of life for ocular prosthesis users. This study evaluates the cosmetic advantages of orbital implant surgery using autologous costal cartilage by comparing upper eyelid symmetry between patients who underwent the surgery and those who did not. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on ocular prosthesis users at a single institution. Patients were divided into two groups: those who underwent orbital implant surgery with costal cartilage (Group 1) and those who used a prosthetic eye without an implant (Group 2). Upper eyelid position, pre- and postoperative complications, and demographic/clinical characteristics were analyzed using Mann–Whitney U and chi-squared tests, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. This study was approved by the Clinical Research Review Committee of Tokai University (approval number 24R077-001 MH). Results: The study included 23 patients (Group 1: n=13, Group 2: n=10). Group 1 had a significantly lower median age (52 vs. 68 years, p=0.002) and a higher proportion of females (76.9% vs. 30%, p=0.024). Upper eyelid asymmetry was significantly greater in Group 2 (p<0.05). Orbital fracture was associated with a higher risk of requiring additional surgery (100% vs. 37.5%, P=0.075), though not statistically significant. Conclusions: Orbital implant surgery with costal cartilage grafts improves eyelid symmetry and cosmetic appearance. Early and accurate orbital volume repair is essential for preventing enophthalmos.

Pulp tissue debridement and eradication of microorganisms from an infected root canal system before obturation is a primary focus of endodontic treatment and the best predictor for the long-term success of endodontic treatment. The purpose of this in vitro laboratory study was to evaluate pulp tissue debridement and the disinfection efficacy of two different Er;Cr:YSGG laser units, with 2790 nm wavelength, compared to Ultrasonic Activated Irrigation (UAI) in root canals infected with Enterococcus faecalis.
The different laser-activated irrigation protocols showed multiple areas of remaining bacteria, biofilm, tissue, and thermal ablation. The laser fiber tips also displayed significant tip degradation after use which might affect efficacy. While UAI showed similar results. In this in-vitro study, laser-activated irrigation using Er;Cr:YSGG technology and UAI were inefficient in eliminating pulp tissue from difficult-to-reach areas and Enterococcus faecalis from infected root canals.
