Published: January 2025

This study looks at two aspects of ancient Chinese genre painting to interpret the more realistic ancient shopping scenes in the painting of the peddler in spring scenery in the Ming Dynasty, namely, the Ming spring scene and the characters’ costume image features. Through the analysis of the detailed characteristics of the style, structure, pattern, and color of the figure costume in the painting of the peddler, a total of five sets of figure costume for an adult male and four children in the painting of the peddler in the spring scenery of the Ming Dynasty in China were digitally restored using the 3D virtual fitting technology, which clearly showed the characteristics of the figure costume of the peddler and children in the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644). The figure’s costume style in the painting of the salesman restored in the article is Beizi, closed crotch trousers, open crotch trousers, and abdominal circumference (a type of apron from the Song Dynasty. It is made to resemble a short apron and is wrapped around the abdomen). The study of the painting of peddler in the Ming dynasty in this work provides a reference for future study on ancient Chinese genre paintings of peddler and the restoration of the costumes of the figures in the painting.
Texture mapping of warp knitted shoe upper based on ARAP parameterization method
Authors: Guilong Cheng , Aijun Zhang , Yanting Zhang
Published: January 2025

In order to realize the design of the warp knitted upper based on the three-dimensional shoe model, this study investigates the texture mapping technique based on angle-preserving and area-regularizing as-rigid-as-possible (ARAP) parameterization. The ARAP algorithm, based on both partial and global considerations, is utilized to parameterize the 3D mesh. Moreover, detailed methods for calculating 3D vertex adjustments and selecting seam lines during the unfolding process are provided. Additionally, discrete harmonic and parametric optimization unfolding algorithms are employed to enhance texture mapping quality. To reduce mesh distortion, the results of discrete harmonic parameterization are used as inputs for ARAP parameterization, making the mapping effect more natural and reducing the number of required optimizations. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method maintains a balanced distribution of angles and areas while minimizing conformal distortions, thereby achieving superior texture mapping.
From keywords to key embeddings – contrasting French and Swedish web registers using multilingual deep learning
Authors: Hellström Saara , Skantsi Valtteri , Salmela Anna , Laippala Veronika
Published: January 2025

The pervasiveness of the internet has given web language use a central role in society. However, the lack of multilingual corpora and scalable methods has led to the focus on English in web language research. To address this gap, the present paper sets itself in the register research tradition and explores French and Swedish web registers from a cross-linguistic angle. Methodologically we combine keyword analysis with multilingual deep learning, suggesting an approach that enables computational comparisons across languages. Specifically, we extract keywords for French and Swedish web registers, then associate the keywords with fastText word embeddings, and finally, cluster these key embeddings. The findings indicate that there are topical and functional clusters, and they are linguistically motivated and multilingual. The same clusters occur within the same registers in both languages pointing to shared topical and functional similarities – the registers are strikingly similar. The dissimilarities, in contrast, indicate that certain registers like Narrative blogs are to some extent different in French and Swedish. Moreover, grammatical specificities such as the location of adjectives explain some dissimilarities.
A Journey of Transition: The Formation, Deconstruction, and Reshaping of Du Fu’s Image in the Anglophone World
Authors: Zhao Hua
Published: January 2025

The portrayal of Du Fu in the English-speaking world has evolved from biographical studies to literary research since the 1920s. Over the past century, experts’ evaluations of Du Fu have shifted from simple commendation or criticism to a more complex and nuanced understanding of him as a flesh-and-blood figure. The relationship between Du Fu’s image and his poetry has undergone transformations from “poetry as the man” to “separation of poet and poetry” and finally to “unity of poet and poetry.” In terms of research methodology, it has evolved from adhering to the traditional poetics of “mutual verification between poetry and history” to interpreting the construction of Du Fu’s image from the perspective of New Historicism. Research-wise, there has been a shift from emphasizing definiteness to embracing indeterminacy. These developments which are largely overlooked by the existing scholarship on the topic have accompanied the entire process of the formation, deconstruction, and reconstruction of Du Fu’s image in the English-speaking world. The scholars and translators have not only continually updated the understanding of Du Fu’s image but have also resonated with domestic studies of Du Fu, providing a diverse methodological reference for the construction of Du Fu’s poetics. Furthermore, they have significantly promoted the dissemination of Du Fu and his poetry in the English-speaking world.

Authors: Qiu Yihong , Liu Chang
Published: January 2025

Objectives

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being increasingly used in medical education. This narrative review presents a comprehensive analysis of generative AI tools’ performance in answering and generating medical exam questions, thereby providing a broader perspective on AI’s strengths and limitations in the medical education context.

Methods

The Scopus database was searched for studies on generative AI in medical examinations from 2022 to 2024. Duplicates were removed, and relevant full texts were retrieved following inclusion and exclusion criteria. Narrative analysis and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the contents of the included studies.

Results

A total of 70 studies were included for analysis. The results showed that AI tools’ performance varied when answering different types of questions and different specialty questions, with best average accuracy in psychiatry, and were influenced by prompts. With well-crafted prompts, AI models can efficiently produce high-quality examination questions.

Conclusion

Generative AI possesses the ability to answer and produce medical questions using carefully designed prompts. Its potential use in medical assessment is vast, ranging from detecting question error, aiding in exam preparation, facilitating formative assessments, to supporting personalized learning. However, it’s crucial for educators to always double-check the AI’s responses to maintain accuracy and prevent the spread of misinformation.

Immunoinformatics-guided design of a multiepitope peptide vaccine targeting the receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein: insights from Indonesian samples
Authors: Faizal Irvan , Chandra Darrian , Tarwadi  , Pambudi Sabar , Nurhasanah Astutiati , Priambodo Rizky , Yusuf Muhammad
Published: January 2025

The emergence of new variants of SARS-CoV-2, including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Omicron variants, and XBB sub-variants, contributes to the number of coronavirus cases worldwide. SARS-CoV-2 is a positive RNA virus with a genome of 29.9 kb that encodes four structural proteins: spike glycoprotein (S), envelope glycoprotein (E), membrane glycoprotein (M), and nucleocapsid glycoprotein (N). These proteins are vital for viral activity, with the S protein facilitating attachment and membrane fusion through the receptor-binding domain (RBD) located in the S1 subunit. The RBD recognizes and binds to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) protein. An immunoinformatic-aided design of a peptide-based multiepitope vaccine candidate targeting the RBD glycoprotein is constructed from the SARS-CoV-2 sequence data base from various regions of Indonesia (Jakarta, West Java, and Bali). The results show that the RBD region of with accession ID EPI_ISL_15982641 from West Java had the highest antigenicity of 0.5904. This isolate is non-toxic and non-allergenic and shows a total of 18 LBL epitopes, 72 CTL epitopes, and 98 HTL epitopes. The epitope that has the best overall binding affinity was GCHNKCAY for MHC-I and GGCVFSYVGCHNKCAYWV for MHC-II which show a binding affinity of −13.6 and −15.5 (kcal/mol), respectively. Therefore, this study aims to design an epitope vaccine candidate based on samples from Indonesia that has good characteristics and may have the potential to stimulate an immune response against SARS-CoV-2.
Inverse Sturm–Liouville problem with polynomials in the boundary condition and multiple eigenvalues
Authors: Chitorkin Egor Evgenevich , Bondarenko Natalia Pavlovna
Published: January 2025

In this paper, the inverse Sturm–Liouville problem with distribution potential and with polynomials of the spectral parameter in one of the boundary conditions is considered. We for the first time prove local solvability and stability of this inverse problem in the general non-self-adjoint case, taking possible splitting of multiple eigenvalues into account. The proof is based on the reduction of the non-linear inverse problem to a linear equation in the Banach space of continuous functions on some circular contour. Moreover, we introduce the generalized Cauchy data, which will be useful for investigation of partial inverse Sturm–Liouville problems with polynomials in the boundary conditions. Local solvability and stability of recovering the potential and the polynomials from the generalized Cauchy data are obtained. Thus, the results of this paper include the first existence theorems for solution of the inverse Sturm–Liouville problems with polynomial dependence on the spectral parameter in the boundary conditions in the case of multiple eigenvalues. In addition, our stability results can be used for justification of numerical methods.
Tow-parameter quasi-boundary value method for a backward abstract time-degenerate fractional parabolic problem
Authors: Besma Khelili , Nadjib Boussetila , Abderafik Benrabah
Published: January 2025

In this article, for a time-degenerate fractional parabolic equation, we study an inverse problem for restoration of the initial condition from the information of the final temperature profile. We show that the considered problem is ill-posed in the sense of Hadamard, i.e., small errors in the measurement data may lead to indefinitely large errors in the solutions. This ill-posed problem is regularized using a modified quasi-boundary value method, and some convergence estimates for the regularized solution are obtained using a priori and posteriori parameter choice rules. Finally, several numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the regularization method.
Approximate recovery of the Sturm–Liouville problem on a half-line from the Weyl function
Authors: Kravchenko Vladislav V.
Published: January 2025

The inverse problem of the reconstruction of the Sturm–Liouville problem on a
half-line from its Weyl function is considered. Given the Weyl function, we
obtain the potential in the Schrödinger equation and the boundary
condition at the origin. If the boundary condition is known, this problem is
equivalent to the inverse scattering problem of the recovery of the potential,
which is zero on a half-line, from a given reflection coefficient.
We develop a simple and direct method for solving the inverse problem. The
method consists of two steps. First, the Jost solution is computed from the
Weyl function, by solving a homogeneous Riemann boundary value problem.
Second, a system of linear algebraic equations is constructed for the
coefficients of series representations of three solutions of the
Schrödinger equation. The potential and the boundary condition are then
recovered from the first component of the solution vector of the system. A
numerical illustration of the functionality of the method is presented.
“What we ordered”: A multimodal framing analysis of the memetic representation of the Obidient movement in Nigeria
Authors: Adebomi Oluwayemisi Olusola
Published: January 2025

This study undertakes a multimodal framing analysis of the Obidient movement in Nigeria, with a view to exposing how Internet memes are deployed to advertise Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Nigeria’s 2023 election. Forty memes were purposively sampled from Nigerian WhatsApp platforms and data were analysed qualitatively using aspects of Kress and van Leeuwen (2006. Reading images: The grammar of visual design, 2nd edn. London: Routledge) grammar of visual design and Kuypers (2002. Press bias and politics: How the media frame controversial issues. Westport, CT: Praeger, 2009. Framing analysis. In Kuypers Jim (ed.), Rhetorical criticism: Perspectives in action, 181–204. London: Lexington Books) rhetorical framing analysis. The findings reveal that the meme producers employed contextual variables such as labels, metaphors, visuals, salience and keywords to frame Peter Obi, the Obidient movement and the LP as a valid alternative in the presidential election. The study also shows the deployment of semiotic concepts such as salience, social distance, attitude and framing to positively represent the Obidient movement and Obi. The study concludes that the text producers deploy memes to portray the Obidients and the Labour Party presidential candidate as victims of an incredible electoral process, and that the memes are created to reveal broader socio-cultural realities, especially the predominance of religious and ethnic politics in the Nigerian context.

Background

Diabetes-related cognitive impairment is increasingly recognized as a significant complication, profoundly impacting patients’ quality of life. This review aims to examine the pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical manifestations, risk factors, assessment and diagnosis, management strategies, and future research directions of cognitive impairment in diabetes.

Methodology

A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Medline, and other medical databases to identify, review, and evaluate published articles on cognitive impairment in diabetes. The search focused on studies examining pathophysiology, clinical presentations, risk factors, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies.

Results

The review of current literature revealed that chronic hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and vascular factors are major contributing factors to cognitive deficits in diabetes. Clinical manifestations include impairments in attention, memory, executive function, visuospatial abilities, and language. Risk factors encompass disease duration, glycemic control, presence of complications, age, education level, and comorbidities. Assessment tools include cognitive screening instruments, neuropsychological testing, and neuroimaging techniques. Management strategies involve glycemic control optimization, lifestyle modifications, cognitive training, and pharmacological interventions.

Conclusion

This review highlights the significant prevalence and impact of cognitive impairment in diabetes, resulting from complex metabolic and vascular disturbances. Early detection and multifaceted interventions are crucial for preserving cognitive function and improving patient outcomes. Future research should focus on neuroprotective strategies, biomarker identification, and personalized approaches. Collaborative efforts between clinicians and researchers are essential to effectively address this growing healthcare challenge and enhance the quality of life for individuals with diabetes-related cognitive impairment.
Risk factors for severe adverse drug reactions in hospitalized patients
Authors: Petrović Nemanja Z. , Pejčić Ana V. , Milosavljević Miloš N. , Janković Slobodan M.
Published: January 2025

Background

Severe adverse drug reactions (sADRs) are becoming increasingly common nowadays. The incidence of sADRs is approaching 6.7%, and the incidence of fatal adverse reactions is 0.32% in hospitalized patients. Of these, 48.5% are, at least potentially, preventable.

Aims

This study’s objective was to determine factors associated with the occurrence and preventability of sADRs occurring at the tertiary level.

Methods

A case-control retrospective-prospective clinical observational study design was used for the study. The research cohort included patients hospitalized at the University Clinical Center (UCC) in Kragujevac, Serbia, from January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2024. The research comprised 147 individuals who were admitted to the UCC in Kragujevac. There were 49 patients with sADRs and 98 controls.

Results

Significant factors associated with sADRs in our study were a total number of consultations (ORadjusted = 5.60), Charlson comorbidity index (ORadjusted = 0.30), C-reactive protein (ORadjusted = 1.07), prescribed antihistamines (ORadjusted = 14.37), and antihypertensives (ORadjusted = 0.15).

Conclusion

We have identified the factors that are associated with sADRs should be kept in mind while working with patients at the tertiary level. Early detection of those factors may help with early notification of sADRs and their prevention.
Defending Relational Autonomy
Authors: Humphries James
Published: January 2025

Relational accounts of autonomy such as those advanced by Rebekah Johnston (2017. “Personal Autonomy, Social Identity, and Oppressive Social Contexts.” Hypatia 32 (2): 312–28) and particularly Marina Oshana (1998; “Personal Autonomy and Society.” Journal of Social Philosophy 29 (1): 81–102. 2006; Personal Autonomy in Society. Aldershot: Ashgate; 2015. “Is Social-Relational Autonomy a Plausible Ideal?” In Personal Autonomy and Social Oppression: Philosophical Perspectives, edited by M. Oshana. New York: Routledge) are often thought to be distinctively vulnerable to paternalist and perfectionist objections, as well as implying in a troublesome and/or implausible way that many of us are much less autonomous than is standardly thought. I argue that although constitutively relational accounts are indeed perfectionist, they are so in such a “thin” way that we should not be concerned by it; that they are not paternalist (and indeed are necessarily hostile to the sorts of power relations necessary for paternalism); and that the charge that relational accounts demand an unattractively high bar for autonomy is misdirected – we really do lack autonomy in perhaps surprising but plausible ways and for the account to imply this is a problem for the world rather than the theory.
A review of 3D bioprinting for organoids
Authors: Li Zeqing , Chen Long , Wu Jialin , Chen Yikang , Zhu Yizhun , Li Gang , Xie Guoxi , Tang Guosheng , Xie Maobin
Published: January 2025

Current two-dimensional (2D) cell models for effective drug screening suffer from significant limitations imposed by the lack of realism in the physiological environment. Three-dimensional (3D) organoids models hold immense potential in mimicking the key functions of human organs by overcoming the limitations of traditional 2D cell models. However, current techniques for preparation of 3D organoids models had limitations in reproducibility, scalability, and the ability to closely replicate the complex microenvironment found in vivo. Additionally, traditional 3D cell culture systems often involve lengthy and labor-intensive processes that hinder high-throughput applications necessary for a large-scale drug screening. Advancements in 3D bioprinting technologies offer promising solutions to these challenges by enabling precise spatial control over cell placement and material composition, thereby facilitating the creation of more physiologically relevant organoids than current techniques. This review provides a comprehensive summary of recent advances in 3D bioprinting technologies for creating organoids models, which begins with an introduction to different types of 3D bioprinting techniques (especially focus on volumetric bioprinting (VBP) technique), followed by an overview of bioinks utilized for organoids bioprinting. Moreover, we also introduce the applications of 3D bioprinting organoids in disease models, drug efficiency evaluation and regenerative medicine. Finally, the challenges and possible strategies for the development and clinical translation of 3D bioprinting organoids are concluded.
Advertising fragrance through visual and audible information: a multimodal metaphor analysis of perfume commercials
Authors: Xu Jiaqi , Yang Zi
Published: January 2025

According to conceptual metaphor, this study finds and categorizes three metaphors in perfume commercials: FRAGRANCE IS ATTRACTION, FRAGRANCE IS EMOTION, and FRAGRANCE IS OBJECT. Drawing on the analytical tool of multimodal metaphor analysis, the study further analyzes how perfume commercials complete the metaphorical operation mechanism of mapping from visual and auditory modes to olfactory. It is found that, different from the traditional definition of a concrete source domain and an abstract target domain in conceptual metaphors, the joint participation of multiple modes in commercials may cause a reversal of the degree of abstraction between the source and the target. Due to the limitation of transmitting olfactory information in fragrance commercials where the audience can only receive audible and visual information, “scent” becomes a more abstract concept, while the abstract concepts of “attraction” and “emotion” become a more concrete source. Additionally, the three metaphors’ advertising effects in fragrance commercials are evaluated. Theoretical implications for future studies in multimodal metaphor analysis are also discussed.

Smart manufacturing has opened tremendous opportunities to access, collect, and analyze a plethora of process and product data. Simultaneously, the manufacturing domain presents unique challenges regarding data for current modeling approaches—be it machine learning or physics-based models. In this paper, we highlight the opportunity presented by combining data-driven and physics-based models in a hybrid approach to address these data challenges. The paper provides a depiction of the unique data challenges in the manufacturing domain, illustrates the different facets of data analytics in manufacturing (including physics-based, data-driven, and hybrid modeling), and provides a qualitative mapping of fit for the different modeling classes on the data challenge dimensions.
Wind Humanities: An Elemental Media Approach
Authors: Hepach Maximilian , Bishop Ryan , Carpenter J. R. , Parikka Jussi , Schneider Birgit
Published: January 2025

This article introduces wind humanities as a burgeoning field, exploring how wind shapes experience, reasoning, artistic and knowledge production. It positions wind as a medium, model, and lived experience, drawing on environmental humanities, media studies, and artistic practice to investigate wind’s methodological, epistemological, and ontological implications for humanistic inquiry. The authors situate this emergent field within the broader environmental and elemental turn in the humanities and media studies, highlighting its connections to new materialism and its potential to transform our understanding of both wind and the elemental more broadly. They suggest a rich and evolving landscape of inquiry around wind, highlighting past work and introducing the ten contributions to this stream, which explore wind as media, model, and experience across military technology, volumetric poetry, a libretto, animacies, aesthetics, diffraction, environmental perception, risk communication, indigenous cosmologies, and energy infrastructure.
“Mining” the Film Archive: South Africa’s Mining Industry and Film Production
Authors: Sandon Emma
Published: January 2025

This paper examines the relationship of film production and the mining industry in the forty years of the Union of South Africa, before the National Party came to power in 1948 and established its system of apartheid. It argues that the mining industry used the new technology of film to promote its exploitative system of African migrant workers, mobilized to extract the maximum natural resources of precious metals at the greatest profit. In South Africa in this period, film production and cinema exhibition were controlled commercially by the African Films Trust through its production company, African Film Productions, and its exhibition arm, African Consolidated Theatres. In the face of the rise of trade unions and collective bargaining, the Chamber of Mines commissioned African Film Productions to make documentaries, including instructional, topical, and propaganda films, from the 1920s until the 1940s. These were intended to counter overseas public criticisms of working conditions, health and safety, and racial segregation of workers on the mines. The Chamber of Mines also commissioned films to recruit African migrant workers through its recruitment agencies, the Witwatersrand Native Labour Association and the Native Recruiting Corporation. These recruitment films were screened using mobile cinemas in villages throughout southern Africa. The film company made other publicity films, often co-produced with various South African government departments, to attract White settler immigration and investment by shareholders, and domestically aimed at allaying settlers’ anxieties about the growth of mass African labor systems. These films were exhibited in cinemas all over South Africa and overseas. Building on existing scholarship on the importance of cinema to the recruitment and regulation of African miners in southern Africa, particularly South Africa, this paper will excavate the intricate imbrication of filmmaking in the consolidation and expansion of mining during the first half of the twentieth century.

Use of ISTH bleeding assessment scale to evaluate therapy-associated bleeding risk in patients undergoing coronary revascularization
Authors: Kalyuta Tatyana Yu. , Emelyanova Irina P. , Fedonnikov Alexandеr S.
Published: January 2025

Background — Currently, there is a challenge in the dynamic prognostic assessment of haemorrhagic risks, particularly in recognising the development of bleeding in patients who have undergone cardiac surgery (CS). Bleeding frequently occurs in post-CS patients as they are receiving antithrombotic therapy (ATT), prescribed for continuous a period of 3, 6, or 12 months after surgery. This not only worsens prognosis and quality of life but also, if therapy is discontinued, increases the risk of thrombotic events. Objective — To investigate the diagnostic value of scales for assessing bleeding and predicting bleeding outcomes in individuals who have undergone myocardial revascularisation, and to assess the applicability of the ISTH scale for evaluating bleeding in this patient group. Methods — A total of 98 patients undergone myocardial revascularisation participated in the prospective study. An assessment of hemorrhagic risks according to the PRECISE-DAPT scale and hemorrhagic manifestations according to the ISTH scale was performed at visit 1 and 2 (0-1 month after revascularization). Results — It was found that the assessment of bleeding risk during antithrombotic therapy (ATT) in the first month after myocardial revascularisation, when performed using the PRECISE-DAPT scale, is not comparable to the assessment using the ISTH scale. However, the ISTH scale proved to be a useful tool for evaluating haemorrhagic complications of ATT in patients following cardiac surgery (CS). Conclusion — The use of the ISTH scale allows the assessment of early signs of bleeding during dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following revascularisation, helping to foster a proactive attitude in patients towards monitoring complications of antithrombotic therapy. This approach can reduce risks of fatal haemorrhages and the development and progression of anaemia. However, the ISTH scale is not comparable to the PRECISE-DAPT scale for assessing hemorrhagic risks and cannot be recommended for dynamic prediction of hemorrhagic risks in post-CS patients.

This article is concerned with using the source potential of private correspondence to study the lives of everyday Galician Poles people in the capital of the Habsburg monarchy during the constitutional period (1861–1914), especially their political activity. Reaching for this type of documentation, especially family correspondence, makes it possible to identify many phenomena that are usually overlooked in the field of everyday history or political culture, such as, for example, the role of women in political life, the impact of emotions and moods on the activity of political elites, or questions of mentality. The catalog of research questions and approaches can be expanded.

The Polish Club was among the largest in the Viennese Parliament, and hence, it had a real influence on the policy of the Habsburg monarchy. It ran an archive that, for many years, was considered to have been lost or destroyed during the last war. This article attempts to reconstruct the vicissitudes of the Polish Club’s archive and describe the state of the sources gathered in it.
Stosunki narodowościowe w Królestwie Polskim w przededniu wybuchu pierwszej wojny światowej w świetle raportów konsulów niemieckich i austro‑węgierskich

The article concerns the assessment of the nationality disputes in Congress Poland before 1914 by Second Reich and Austria-Hungarian diplomats. In light of their reports, relations remained tense. The Poles resented the Russians for continuing Russification (building the Orthodox cathedral in Warsaw, seceding the Chełm region and postponing the introduction of local government). In response, Poles boycotted the celebrations of the 300th anniversary of the Romanovs' accession to the throne. Russian authorities tolerated anti-German sentiments prevailing in Congress Poland.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) have intra-tumour heterogeneity, notably regarding the Ki-67 index, which is a major prognostic factor. The temporal evolution of PanNET biology is poorly known. We aimed to study the prognostic impact of the temporal evolution of Ki-67 and other molecular markers (MEN1, ATRX/DAXX and PDX1/ARX) in PanNETs. We retrospectively studied 109 patients with sporadic PanNETs and serial tumour samples (n = 286), in which we measured the Ki-67 index and the expression of the other markers. Variables associated with shorter overall survival (OS) and Ki-67 increase over time were explored using multivariable analyses. The median time between the initial and last samples was 49.4 months, with a median variation in Ki-67 of +4% (interquartile range (IQR): −1 to +15%; P < 0.001) and +0.5%/year (IQR: −0.2 to +3.3%). Tumour grade increased in 36% of cases. At multivariable analysis, an increase in Ki-67 ≥ 2%/year was associated with shorter OS (HR 1.96, 95% CI [1.02–3.73], P = 0.041). This variation was more common in patients who received alkylating agents (OR 4.47, 95% CI [1.48–15.38], P = 0.011) and was less common in those who achieved tumour control with somatostatin analogues (OR 0.27, 95% CI [0.08–0.82], P = 0.027). MEN1 and ATRX/DAXX expressions were stable over time, while the proportion of alpha-like signatures (PDX1−/ARX+) decreased (P = 0.016); none was associated with Ki-67 nor influenced prognosis. Overall, an increase in PanNET grade and Ki-67 index is frequent over time, indicates a poorer prognosis and is promoted by alkylating agents. Rebiopsy during PanNET evolution seems relevant to adjust prognosis evaluation and therapeutic strategy.
La victimización asociada a la delincuencia socioeconómica: reflexiones sobre la invisibilidad y desatención de sus víctimas
Authors: De Melo Lacerda Natalia
Published: January 2025

Desde los años 40, el interés en la delincuencia socioeconómica ha ido en aumento, aunque aún falta claridad en la comprensión de la victimización en este ámbito. Tradicionalmente, las investigaciones se centraron en la delincuencia convencional, ignorando las complejidades de estas actividades, que a menudo parecen legítimas y se basan en la confianza en los agentes involucrados. En el mundo hispanohablante, existe una notable falta de estudios que aborden esta problemática de manera amplia. Este artículo pretende conceptualizar a las víctimas de delitos económicos y explorar los factores que contribuyen a su invisibilidad y desatención en el contexto socio-jurídico. Mediante un enfoque cualitativo y exploratorio, revisa la literatura existente, proporcionando una visión general de la desatención hacia las víctimas. Resalta la importancia de expandir la definición jurídica de víctima, tradicionalmente centrada en la ofensa a bienes jurídicos individuales, para incluir aspectos que reflejen la dimensión colectiva de la victimización.
El delito de abandono del lugar del accidente: una posible interpretación
Authors: Vizueta Fernández Jorge
Published: January 2025

Tras una tenaz y fructífera presión social, la LO 2/2019, de 1 de marzo, introdujo en el art. 382 bis del vigente Código penal español el delito de abandono del lugar del accidente, reformado posteriormente por la LO 11/2022, de 13 de septiembre. La exégesis de esta figura delictiva ha revelado, entre otros problemas, las dificultades para precisar un bien jurídico con entidad suficiente para ser protegido por el Derecho penal, lo que ha conducido a buena parte de la doctrina, con razón, a cuestionar la necesidad de su tipificación penal. No obstante, el principio de vigencia obliga al intérprete a buscar y, en la medida de los posible, encontrar un ámbito de aplicación propio al delito de abandono del lugar del accidente. En este estudio se realiza un análisis crítico de las contribuciones que hasta la fecha han ofrecido doctrina y jurisprudencia sobre este delito, a la vez que se presenta una posible interpretación acerca del objeto de protección y de algunos de los elementos fundamentales de esta figura delictiva.
Examen de la exención de responsabilidad penal de las víctimas de trata que cometen delitos a la luz de la jurisprudencia
Authors: Villa Sieiro Sonia Victoria
Published: January 2025

La trata de seres humanos es una indudable lacra social considerada una moderna forma de esclavitud. Por ello, no es de extrañar que tanto los textos internacionales como nacionales hayan dado un paso adelante en su lucha, adoptando un enfoque cada vez más victimocéntrico, que incorpora factores de prevención y protección para las víctimas. El hecho de ser víctima de trata supone ya un enorme ataque a la dignidad de los afectados, que, además, frecuentemente se ven compelidos a realizar actividades delictivas en ese contexto de trata; es más, en ocasiones, la actividad delictiva es la finalidad concreta de la trata, como sucede en los casos de trata para la explotación criminal. Parece lógico, pues, admitir que hay motivos sobrados para no sancionar a esas personas que realizan actividades ilícitas forzadas, pero la concreta redacción de la exención dificulta hasta el extremo su aplicación, como se desprende de la jurisprudencia.
Coordenadas de una orilla: César Vallejo visto a través de José Ángel Valente
Authors: Marcos Lamas María
Published: January 2025

La relación de José Ángel Valente con la literatura hispanoamericana fue prolífica y polifacética. Tal y como atestigua la obra crítica de Valente, además de los diversos trabajos biográficos dedicados a él, la lectura de la obra de César Vallejo supuso uno de los contactos más tempranos con la literatura del otro lado del océano, que además se mantuvo presente a lo largo de toda la trayectoria vital y literaria del gallego, siendo testimonio de ello numerosos textos de diversa naturaleza escritos en distintos momentos de su vida. Así pues, este trabajo pretende partir de la lectura de dicho material para ofrecer una idea clara de la visión valentiana de César Vallejo, con el objetivo de realizar una aproximación a la obra del peruano que permita, tal como hace Valente, ponerla en diálogo con la poesía española y la nueva sensibilidad poética del siglo xx. Por otro lado, conocer la poesía de Vallejo desde la óptica valentiana implica acercarse a la figura poliédrica que fue Valente, y al carácter integrador y lúcido de su genio creativo, por lo que otro objetivo presente en la realización de este trabajo ha sido indagar en los principales factores que distinguen a Valente como crítico dentro del marco de la crítica española de literatura hispanoamericana en el siglo xx. Si bien César Vallejo y José Ángel Valente no llegaron a conocerse, el segundo crea en su poesía y en su prosa un espacio de diálogo con la obra del primero, haciendo encajar el legado poético de Vallejo en un lugar concreto y privilegiado dentro de una visión integradora de la literatura y el arte.
Lyčių lygybės komunikacija savivaldybėse Lietuvoje

Legal documents in Lithuania – the Law on Equal Opportunities, the Law on Equal Opportunities for Women and Men, the Law on Local Self-Government, the Labor Code – establish the obligation to implement gender equality policy at the level of self-government. Municipalities, as providers of services to residents, must integrate the gender aspect into local self-government documents and ensure the implementation of gender equality principles in daily practices. However, as the results of previous studies show, these processes in municipalities take place slowly (if at all).
Striving to contribute to the accumulation of knowledge about the situation of gender equality in municipalities in Lithuania and to take a deeper look at the communication processes within the municipality, the purpose of this paper is to describe the peculiarities of the gender equality communication in Lithuanian municipalities. Empirically, the paper is based on the analysis of the semistructured interview data collected in ten Lithuanian municipalities in 2019 by employing the discourse analysis approach.
The analysis of the selected interview material showed that the discourse of gender equality in municipalities is developed by different “speakers” on the overlapping dimensions such as: organizational and individual communication, both of which can take formal as well as informal forms; information transfer vs. exchange of information; information as ground for action and ignorance information; etc. The results of the analysis prove that “talking” can both enable and block the action, and the fact that positions of authoritative power remain in the formal hierarchies of the institution in this communication indicates the need to look for additional measures for the effective implementation of gender equality.
