У науковій статті представлені результати досліджень визначення і прогнозування концентрацій іонів ессенціальних важких металів (Fe3+, Cr3+, Mn2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Со2+) у поверхневих водах річки Тетерів в межах міста Житомира. Здійснено моніторингові дослідження концентрацій зазначених металів протягом 2018–2023 років. Встановлено перевищення ГДК по іонам важких металах Fe3+, Cr3+, Mn2+, Zn2+, що призводить до порушення біохімічних процесів і фізіологічних функцій живих організмів. Концентрації Cu2+, Со2+ не перевищують гранично допустимих значень, проте існує потенційний ризик для здоров’я людини від хронічного впливу низьких концентрацій кобальту та купруму через тривалий вплив і потенційну взаємодію з іншими іонами металів. Вода в межах міста характеризується нестабільною якістю за вмістом мангану. Моніторинг концентрації іонів Mn2+ протягом року показав її зростання два рази на рік, в кінці весни і на початку осені. В ці періоди концентрація мангану перевищує гранично допустимі концентрації. Циклічний характер коливань вмісту мангану зумовлений сезонними змінами температури води та інтенсивності процесів фотосинтезу і розкладу органічних речовин, що впливають на міграцію та акумуляцію цього елементу у водному середовищі. Основним джерелом надходження важких металів до поверхневих вод є промислові підприємства внаслідок недосконалих технологій очищення стоків. Значна частка забруднень також потрапляє у водойми з поверхневими стоками урбанізованих територій та господарсько-побутовими стічними водами. Додатковим фактором забруднення води іонами важких металів є їх вивільнення з донних відкладень. Результати цього дослідження інформують про заходи щодо відновлення та управління забрудненням води в межах міста і спрямовані на захист здоров’я міського населення. Для мінімізації надходження важких металів у р. Тетерів необхідно насамперед забезпечити ефективне очищення промислових і комунальних стічних вод, поліпшити очистку дощових стоків з міських територій перед їх скидом у річку, запровадити систему сортування відходів та їх переробки, пропагувати серед населення екологічну свідомість та реалізувати програми сталого розвитку регіону.

У роботі проаналізовано динаміку органічного виробництва в Україні, характеристики органічних продуктів, їх вплив на довкілля та здоров’я людини. Показано, що Україна має значний потенціал у органічному виробництві, проте деякі регіони значно відстають у цьому напрямку в порівнянні з іншими. Сумська область є прикладом такого низького рівня популярності споживання органічних продуктів. Дослідження рівня поінформованості населення щодо органічних продуктів має вагоме значення і є необхідним для розуміння перспектив та перешкод щодо впровадження органічного виробництва на місцевому рівні. Тому було проведено опитування населення Сумської області різних вікових груп для визначення рівня обізнаності населення про переваги органічних продуктів, їхніх уподобань та готовності до сприйняття органічної продукції. Результати проведеного дослідження свідчать, що майже половина респондентів мають часткові знання про органічне виробництво, у той же час 8 % опитаних не мають жодних знань про нього. Більшість розуміють, що таке органічні продукти і вважають, що вони є корисними для здоров’я, оскільки містять менше небезпечних хімічних речовин. З’ясовано, що основними джерелами інформації про органічне виробництво є соціальні медіа та навчальні заклади. Роль телебачення в цьому аспекті виявилася менш суттєвою. Авторами визначено основні фактори, які впливають на вибір населення, серед яких вища вартість органічних продуктів, відсутність таких продуктів у магазинах та недостатня поінформованість про їх переваги та особливості серед споживачів. Переважна більшість опитаних вважають, що виробництво органічних продуктів має розвиватись в Україні. На основі отриманих результатів опитування сформульовано ряд рекомендацій щодо подальшого розвитку органічного виробництва в Сумській області та популяризації органічних продуктів серед населення.

Published: December 2024

Objective: To determine orthopterans taxonomically, to calculate the population dynamics and fluctuation based on collections carried out in four agroecosystems in the Experimental Unit of the “Presidente Juárez” Agrobiology School in Uruapan, Michoacán, Mexico.
Design/methodology/approach: The research was conducted from August to December 2019. The agroecosystem was divided into four sectors, and for each sector a hectare of land with different crops was assigned. A completely randomized experimental design was established, with four treatments and five repetitions. Five collections were made in each sector, every 14 days. The field information was analyzed with the SAS software ver. 3.8, with Tukey’s means comparison test (0.05).
Results: Two thousand hits were carried out with an entomological net and 2024 orthopterans were collected. The outstanding genera and species were: Schistocerca nitens, Sphenarium purpurascens and Achurum sumichrasti.
Limitations on study/implications: Only five months of the year were evaluated, so the species determined can vary in their relative abundance.
Findings/conclusions: New records were found in seven families, 19 genera and 16 species: Acanthorintes tauriformis, Achurum sumichrasti (Saussure, 1861); Aidemona azteca (Saussure, 1861); Arphia conspersa Scudder, 1875; Brachystola mexicana Bruner, 1906;  Ceuthophilus                       pallidipes       Tomás,    1872;    Conocephalus cinereus Thunberg,   1815; Dichromorpha prominula (Bruner, 1904); Ducetia japónica (Thunberg, 1815); Gryllus spp., Linnaeus, 1758; Melanoplus differentialis (Thomas, 1865); Neoconocephalus triops (Linnaeus, 1758); Rhammatocerus viatorius (Saussure, 1861); Schistocerca nitens (Thunberg, 1815); Sphenarium purpurascens (Charpentier, 1841); Stilpnochlora azteca (Saussure, 1859); Taeniopoda stali Bruner, 1907; Pyrgocorypha spp., Stal 1873; and Stenopelmatus spp., Burmeister, 1838.

Published: December 2024

Objective: to construct a dynamic stochastic model with validated biospheric-interaction, estimating allometric equations for the total volumetric increase and cumulative distribution of biomass for Pinus hartwegii Lindl in the states of Mexico and Puebla, considering climate change.
Design/ Methodology/ Approach: the methodology included the use of SiBiFor numerical databases, NASA Power data, Ordinary Least Squares mathematical models, the Random-Forest software, Ridge model with regression, R algorithms and Newton volumetric estimation equations.
Results: estimated allometric equations were obtained for the total volume of trees in 2023, highlighting the importance of linear regression models and the validity of the variables used. Newton's mathematical equations and theoretical models for excurrent tree-form types were found to have the best accuracy in estimating the total volume of the barked tree.
Limitations of the study/ Implications: this study has limitations in terms of generalization to other forest types and the availability of data in Mexico. However, it highlights the importance of understanding forest responses to environmental changes and the need for validated dynamic stochastic models to estimate allometric equations and assess carbon sequestration.
Findings/ Conclusions: this study highlights the importance of understanding and assessing the carbon storage capacity of forests, especially in the context of climate change. In addition, it underlines the usefulness of linear regression models and variable validation to estimate carbon sequestration in Pinus hartwegii forests.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of B vitamins and cysteine on the formation and development of shoots in Stevia rebaudiana (S. rebaudiana) Morita II, without the addition of plant growth regulators.
Design/methodology/approach: The starting material consisted of nodal segments, subjected to eight different vitamin treatments. The results were analyzed using mean comparisons and Tukey's test to identify statistical differences.
Results: The most effective treatment was treatment number two, which yielded an average of 7.5 shoots per explant, demonstrating its efficiency for multiplication. For explant elongation, treatment five proved to be the most effective.
Limitations of the study/implications: This study aims to establish a multiplication protocol with enhanced efficiency; however, a limitation is the transferability of the results to temporary immersion bioreactors.
Findings/conclusions: Thiamine and cysteine are two organic compounds that induce multiple sprouting, while nicotinic acid and pyridoxine promote the elongation of Stevia explants. This research represents a significant step towards transferring this knowledge to grassroots technological enterprises.

Published: December 2024

Objective: To evaluate diverse protein hydrolysis methods of chicken feathers meal on ruminal digestibility for its possible use in the elaboration of protein additives for animal consumption.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Four protein hydrolysis methods of chicken feathers meal were evaluated: thermal hydrolysis (TH), chemical hydrolysis (CH), acid-enzymatic hydrolysis (AH) and allkaline-enzymatic hydrolysis (BH). These methods were compared to chicken feathers meal without any treatment as a control into a completely randomized design.
Results: All hydrolysis methods reduced the protein content in feathers meal when compared to control (p<0.05). Crude protein contents were 97.3, 70, 74.1, 75.5 and 87.7 for Control, TH, CH, AH and BH, respectively. However, the highest value in digestibility was observed in CH (p<0.05); whereas the other methods showed digestibility values lower to 20% (p<0.05).
Implications: Given results show that CH provide higher contents of soluble and digestible protein, as well as higher hydrolysis.
Conclusion: These results demonstrate that chicken feathers meal hydrolyzed by chemical methods shows optimal conditions which makes it suitable for elaboration of protein additives to animal consumption

Authors: Cruz-Bazan Erika Jasmin , Encina-Domínguez Juan A. , Ramírez-Albores Jorge E. , Chavez-Lugo Eber G.
Published: December 2024

Objective: To assess the diversity of rodent communities in semi-desert grasslands and xerophilous shrubland at the "Los Ángeles" Ranch in southeastern Coahuila.
Design/methodology/approach: Monthly samplings were carried out from May to November 2020 using Sherman traps. The capture-recapture method was used to estimate species richness and abundance. Non-parametric estimators, species rarefaction curves, and rank abundance plots were utilized to measure species diversity. The Whittaker index was employed to assess species turnover between sampled communities.
Results: A total of 205 individuals from three families and eight species of rodents were recorded, with the Cricetidae family being the best represented. The species rarefaction curve showed that the shrubland exhibited greater diversity compared to the grassland. The dominant species were Onychomys arenicola in the semi-desert grassland and Peromyscus zamorae in the xerophilous shrubland.
Limitations/implications: There remains a need to extend long-term monitoring efforts to detect how anthropogenic activities influence species composition.
Findings/conclusions: The study highlights the importance of grasslands for the conservation of rodents in the state. Semi-desert grasslands and shrublands provide natural resources that should be preserved to maintain biodiversity in semi-arid ecosystems
Análisis multicausal del abandono escolar estudiantil en contexto de vulnerabilidad social de nivel medio superior en México
Authors: Lira-Aguirre Francisco Antonio , Cordero Hidalgo Aixchel , Chaparro-Medina Paola Margarita
Published: December 2024

El presente documento parte del estudio de las causas del abandono escolar en estudiantes de bachillerato situados en un contexto de vulnerabilidad social. El análisis se dirige al ámbito nacional mexicano en el cual la deserción es considerada una problemática educativa de carácter estructural, multicausal y compleja. La aportación teórica se basa en una revisión a la literatura que abarcó publicaciones de la Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales, el Consejo Mexicano de Investigación Educativa, la Secretaría de Educación Pública, entre otras instituciones. Se determinó una clasificación de las principales causas del abandono escolar que abarca cinco dimensiones con sus respectivas categorías: 1. Institucional-Pedagógica: académica y curricular; 2. Vulnerabilidad social: pobreza socio-económica y riesgo; 3. Económica-Familiar: estructura familiar; 4. Política-Laboral: obligatoriedad de bachillerato y empleo informal; 5. Contextual-Situacional: variables macro-ambientales. Los resultados que arrojó la revisión muestran como causas de la deserción más recurrentes: la falta de interés por los estudios, la situación socio-económica familiar, el consumo de drogas y la adscripción juvenil al empleo informal. Tendría que ser una tarea de distintos actores garantizar que el alumnado vaya a la escuela a estudiar, crecer e interactuar con sus pares, sumando acciones para que los estudiantes se concentren en su formación y no piensen en lo que pasa fuera de estas instituciones y sin que por consecuencia se debilite el vínculo con el sistema educativo que los lleve al fracaso académico.
Physicochemical properties of biological fluids in patients with chronic pancreatitis
Authors: Byelyayeva N. V.
Published: December 2024

Human biological fluids (BF) contain a variety of low- and high-molecular-weight surfactants that can adsorb at liquid phase boundaries and alter surface tension (ST), thereby accelerating or delaying the processes of matter and energy transfer through biological membranes. Numerous proteins, lipids, electrolytes, and hormones that have surfactant properties and ability to change the ST of blood, urine, and pancreatic secretions are altered in chronic pancreatitis (CP).
We examined 72 patients with CP in the acute stage, ranging in age from 20 to 63 (34 men and 38 women). Of them, 36 had biliary CP and 36 had alcohol-induced pancreatitis. 30 healthy people were examined. Interfacial tensiometry and rheometry techniques were used to study the physicochemical properties of blood, urine and duodenal contents.
CP patients’ dynamic ST of BF was examined using the MPT-2 Lauda computer tensiometer (Germany). We assessed the rheological properties of the BF, which consist of elastic and viscous components, using an enhanced ADSA.
There are substantial changes in the physicochemical properties of blood, urine, and duodenal contents in CP patients. Interfacial tensiometry and rheometry parameters of the BF in patients with CP vary according to the surfactant content, which includes enzymes and pancreatic hormones. Tensiometry and rheometry indices of the BF in CP correlate with changes in exocrine and endocrine pancreatic functions and the severity of sonographic CP manifestations. Interphase tensiometry and rheometry of blood, urine, and duodenal contents can be used as integral criteria for evaluating biochemical and functional changes in CP.
Hepatopancreatic syndrome: focus on cystic fibrosis
Authors: Gubergrits N. B. , Tsys O. V. , Byelyayeva N. V.
Published: December 2024

Cystic fibrosis liver disease (CFLD) is the third leading cause of death among patients with CF. Although the majority of patients with CFLD are pediatric patients, recent research suggests a “second wave” of liver damage in adulthood.
In addition to biliary cirrhosis, many patients with CF may have hepatic steatosis. For a long time, hepatic steatosis in patients with CF was associated with nutritional deficiencies, in particular essential fatty acids. Recently, it was found out that steatosis in patients with CF is a multifactorial phenomenon and follows a similar pathogenesis to that observed in the general population (metabolic-associated fatty liver disease and alcohol-induced liver disease). In the UK, a questionnaire-based study revealed that 83% of CF patients consume alcohol.
Another significant condition leading to chronic liver damage in patients with CF is lithogenesis, due to changes in the composition of bile and its stagnation. This can cause biliary strictures and sclerosing cholangitis, which in turn may lead to secondary biliary cirrhosis.
In addition to laboratory markers and imaging techniques, other non-invasive indices of liver health aid in the diagnosis of CFLD. Two laboratory markers, the AST-platelet ratio index (APRI) and the fibrosis marker FIB-4, correlate with the diagnosis of CFLD through a double liver biopsy.
Therapy goals for CFLD include addressing the sequelae associated with each specific manifestation, particularly portal hypertension, and slowing the progression of the disease. All patients with CFLD should be monitored every 3–6 months for liver enzymes and markers related to liver synthetic function, including a coagulation profile.
Unfortunately, there are still no drug treatments to slow the progression or improve the course of CFLD. Traditionally, doctors administer ursodeoxycholic acid to patients after diagnosing CFLD. Nutrition is important as well. It is necessary to pay attention to the treatment of portal hypertension (drug, endoscopic, and surgical). In some cases, it becomes necessary to perform liver transplantation simultaneously with lung transplantation.
Bear(ing) Down: Encountering Posthuman Critical Media Studies through the (Re)tracing of Object and Embodiment
Authors: Franklin-Phipps Asilia , Varga Bretton A.
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the how of posthuman theory by a collaborative and conversational visual reading of FX’s The Bear. In both the shared and individual encounters with the show, we consider how objects produce relational affects across characters, objects, time, and space. We insist that unique shows like The Bear, expand beyond a “use” orientation of objects, instead producing objects as central to the narrative. Some objects become, in one way, another character as the action does not occur separate from the objects. We argue that while that is often the case, this is not often made visible. The Bear, while still being a character-driven show, emphasizes the agency of the objects. Objects get long takes, close-ups, and meaningful space in dialog, making the show a meaningful text for temporary withdrawal from human-centered ways of seeing and knowing.

Published: December 2024

While posthumanism has become an established framework for critically approaching a wide array of phenomena and challenges, its creative and generative potentials do not appear to cease. On the contrary, posthumanism manifests in ever-new, original forms and topics within processes of academic knowledge production and writing. This is exemplified in the latest book by Francesca Ferrando: The Art of Being Posthuman: Who Are We in the 21st Century?
We Have Never Been Acafans: Notes Towards a Posthumanist Approach to Media Fandom
Authors: Moore Mandy Elizabeth
Published: December 2024

Media fandoms highlight the power nonhuman actors have to move, shape, and perhaps even possess us. In stating, “I am a fan of this thing,” we have already signaled a new state of being for ourselves rooted in a deep investment with something nonhuman. However, despite the foundational nonhuman entanglements of fandom, fan studies as a field has yet to engage in a sustained, comprehensive dialogue with posthumanism. In this article, I propose a theoretical vision for posthumanist fan studies, outlining how this framework would both compliment and complicate existing fandom scholarship and explicating an emergent, intra-active view of fandom. I then offer two potential methodologies that would prove useful in posthumanist fan studies research.
There is No Videogame: Nishida, Posthumanism, and the Basho of Gameplay
Authors: Andiloro Andrea
Published: December 2024

This article traverses from humanist to posthumanist philosophies to analyse videogame ontology. It challenges Cartesian dualism, understood as emblematic of humanist thinking, by bringing the philosophy of Nishida Kitarō in conversation with posthumanist thought. Nishida’s rejection of the subject-object split and his concepts of ‘pure experience’, ‘basho’ and ‘action-intuition’ provide a framework for understanding games as dynamic events in a relational matrix of nothingness rather than as discrete entities. The game Jetpack Joyride is analyzed through this lens, illustrating how gameplay is a co-creative experience within a complex interplay of technology and human agency. This approach promotes an inclusive and global understanding of the interconnected nature of videogames and player identities, challenging entrenched Western paradigms in game studies and posthumanist thought.
Introduction: Posthumanism and Media Studies
Authors: Wilde Poppy , Sylvia IV J.J.
Published: December 2024

Posthumanism fosters a more inclusive and less hierarchical approach to our entanglements with both human and non-human elements. Posthuman theory, particularly as articulated by N. Katherine Hayles and Rosi Braidotti, has long been influential in media and cultural studies. Ferrando (2020) argues: posthuman ethics invites us to follow on three related layers. First of all, as a post-humanism, it marks a shift: from universalism to perspectivism, from multiculturalism to pluralism and diversity. As a postanthropocentrism, it induces a change of strategy: from human agency to agential networks, from technology to eco-technology. As a postdualism, it requires an evolution of our awareness: from individuality to relationality, from theory to praxis. (147) This Special Issue of the Journal of Posthumanism therefore asks, how does such posthuman perspectivism, pluralism, agentiality, eco-technology, relationality, and praxis, apply to the future of media and cultural studies? How might we understand the very concept of “future”?

Summary. The purpose of the study is to develop a prognostic model based on a minimum and sufficient number of simple and standard indicators of heart rate variability (HRV), capable of determining the resistance of the organism to the toxic effect of oxygen.

Materials and methods: 255 volunteers participated in the study: 109 women (mean age 23.9±5.7 years) and 146 men (mean age 25.7±5.4 years). All participants underwent hyperbaric oxygenation. To improve accuracy and confirm the obtained results, HRV measurements were performed in three stages: at rest, during the hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) procedure and after its completion.

Results of the study and their analysis. In the group of individuals resistant to the toxic effect of oxygen, the coincidence of the predicted and actual result was 83.3%. For the group with medium resistance, a higher coincidence of 91.8% was observed. In the group with low tolerance, the accuracy of the model was 91.7%.

Conclusions.

Changes in HRV indices are caused by the processes of regulation of the organism of the examined volunteers in response to oxygen exposure in conditions of increased ambient partial pressure.
Significant (p<0.05) predictive indices of HRV, such as VLF log, stress index, SD2/SD1 ratio, NNxx, max HR, alpha 2, LF log, VLF Hz, LF/HF ratio, ApEn, whose values should be used in the developed linear function formulas, were identified.
The developed model demonstrates high prognostic ability (89.4%), allowing timely and reliably (p<0.05) to determine the level of organism resistance to the toxic effect of oxygen.

Summary. The purpose of the study is to develop a concept for the evacuation of victims with trauma requiring emergency surgery in a specialized medical institution in the metropolis.

Materials and methods of research. Our study included 216 patients evacuated from emergency scenes and treated in Moscow hospitals with open craniocerebral injuries and/or internal bleeding.

All patients were divided into two groups: group 1 included patients evacuated to hospitals using the developed algorithms for medical evacuation; group 2 included patients evacuated without using the specified algorithms.

Results of the study and their analysis. The results of treatment of victims with combined trauma/internal bleeding were analyzed, the risks of fatal outcome in such victims were identified, the reasons that slow down the medical evacuation of these patients to the hospital were established, the results of treatment of these patients in hospitals were assessed. It was noted that the creation of algorithms for medical evacuation of such victims in the presence of indications for urgent surgery will allow timely initiation of measures to finally stop bleeding, improve treatment results and reduce mortality by 15%.

"Listen! The Interpreter Is Silently Calling for Help!" Interpreter's Mental Health in a Refugee Context
Authors: Yin Taoijie
Published: December 2024

This paper primarily centers on the psychological well-being of interpreters, with a specific focus on those working with refugees. Through a review of existing literature on interpreter’s mental health, the author identifies and explores the pressing mental health challenges encountered by interpreters in refugee contexts, as well as potential remedies. The ultimate goal is to advocate for the formulation of deliberate strategies aimed at fostering self-preservation of mental health among interpreters during their training. This, in turn, would empower interpreters to mitigate the adverse effects stemming from vicarious trauma.

The Impact of Translating Inspirational Quotes on Emotional Intelligence: A Case Study of Senior Students Majoring in Translation
Authors: Shafiei Amir Hosein , Sharififar Masoud , Rohani Gholamreza
Published: December 2024

The popularity of inspirational quotes has grown significantly in recent years, particularly on social media and many social spaces. These quotes are known for their concise and uplifting messages, which offer individuals struggling with stress, tension, and depression a sense of motivation, assurance, and fulfillment. Despite their widespread use, limited research has been conducted on the effects of such sentences on translation trainees. To address this gap, the researchers in this quantitative study endeavored to scrutinize the impact of translating inspirational quotes on the emotional intelligence of senior English translation students of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman. For this purpose, a non-probability sample of 30 participants was randomly assigned to either an experimental or control group. The experimental group was exposed to translating inspirational quotes during six weekly fifteen-minute sessions, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Emotional intelligence levels were measured in both groups before and after the intervention through questionnaires. The findings demonstrated a significant positive effect of translating inspirational quotes on emotional intelligence. As a result, this study suggested that translating inspirational quotes has the potential to enhance emotional intelligence in translation trainees.

Molyneux’s answer: Situated predictive processing
Authors: Galiano-Landeira Jordi
Published: December 2024

Molyneux’s problem asks whether a person blind from birth, upon gaining sight, could immediately recognize and distinguish objects by sight alone that were previously known only by touch. Historical and contemporary empirical studies have explored this question with inconclusive results due to empirical limitations. More recently, Held and colleagues (2011) found that treated congenitally blind individuals cannot immediately recognize objects previously familiar through touch. Piller and colleagues (2023) further reported the absence of visual illusions in blind and recently visually-restored individuals. Nevertheless, cross-modal mappings gradually develop post-sight restoration. These findings suggest a reluctance of the mind to make cross-modal inferences, aligning with the predictive processing (PP) framework. PP posits that the mind generates top-down predictions about sensory stimuli, updating internal models through prediction errors when expectations are not met. With no prior visual experience, generative models in congenital blind individuals fail to produce accurate predictions. PP’s representational claims have been challenged by 4E cognitivists, who emphasize embodied, embedded, extended, and enactive aspects of cognition. This paper proposes a Situated Predictive Processing (SPP) framework that integrates PP with 4E cognition through the concept of situated mental representations, offering a new perspective on the Molyneux’s problem and emphasizing the role of experience and situatedness in the gradual development of visual-tactile mappings post-sight restoration.
Ageing and complexity
Authors: Formenti Laura , Cino Davide , Loberto Francesca
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a critical literature review on the systemic interconnections between ageing, learning, and care. Using the lenses of complexity and interdisciplinarity, we analysed a sample of 62 papers published between 2003 and 2022, examining their reference to micro, meso and/or macro levels, theoretical depth, and use of complexity as a sensitizing concept to understand implications for learning and transformation as structural features of an ageing society. Our analysis highlighted the role of different settings of care (formal, informal, and technology-mediated) in shaping, enhancing, or hindering meaning, well-being, and social justice for older learners and their caregivers, and the implications for society at large. Findings suggest a gap in the examined literature regarding the use of complexity theories to highlight self-organisation, interdependence, and co-evolution of individual and systemic learning. A theoretical interdisciplinary framework, we contend, would better mirror the multiple factors and levels entailed in the process of ageing.
Da Natureza ao Instrumento: o Realismo Mimético em Duas Obras de Carola Bauckholt
Authors: Diniz Gonzaga de Lima Thiago , Leão Maia Igor
Published: December 2024

Neste artigo, analisamos a aplicação de recursos miméticos nos processos composicionais das obras Doppelbelichtung (2016) e Zugvögel (2012) da compositora alemã Carola Bauckholt. Essas composições ilustram a associação direta que Bauckholt estabelece entre as características sonoras de instrumentos musicais e os sons a serem imitados, especificamente cantos de pássaros e chamados de aves. Em Doppelbelichtung, a compositora utiliza os registros mais agudos do violino para imitar os cantos dos pássaros, enquanto, em Zugvögel, associa instrumentos de palheta a sons de aves migratórias. Realizamos uma análise descritiva do uso do material sonoro aviário para compreender os procedimentos composicionais utilizados por Bauckholt, bem como suas soluções criativas para o desafio da mimese instrumental.

THE EFFECT OF NON-PERFORMING LOAN (NPL) AND LOAN TO DEPOSIT RATIO (LDR) ON RETURN ON ASSETS (ROA) AT PT BANK PEMBANGUNAN DAERAH PAPUA
Authors: Toatubun Helmi , Rahmi Rahmi
Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze the effect of Non-Performing Loan (NPL) and Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) on Return on Assets (ROA) in PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Papua. The analysis method used is multiple linear regression. The results of the analysis show that partially, NPLs have a negative and significant effect on ROA, which means that the higher the level of non-performing loans, the lower the bank's profitability level. Meanwhile, LDR had a positive but insignificant effect on ROA, indicating that although increasing LDR may increase profitability, the effect is not strong enough to significantly affect ROA. However, simultaneously, the NPL and LDR variables had a positive and significant effect on ROA, which suggests that the two variables, when considered together, can make a significant contribution to the bank's financial performance.

Globus pallidus internus (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) was used to treat a stiff-person syndrome (SPS) patient. Prior to implantation, microelectrode recordings measured firing frequencies and patterns (burst index). Contralateral and ipsilateral hemispheres relative to myoclonic jerks on the left side of the body were compared. Analysis revealed significantly lower firing frequencies and significantly higher and more variable burst index in the right contralateral GPi compared to the left ipsilateral GPi.
