Introduction:

The London classification provides standardization for characterization of disorders of anorectal function, although prevalences and clinical impact of these disorders are unclear.

Methods:

An international research consortium was established, including five specialist centers. Prospective data were collected in consecutive adults referred for refractory chronic constipation (CC), fecal incontinence (FI) or coexistent CC/FI over 18 months. Patients completed a standardized clinical questionnaire and underwent anorectal physiology tests which were performed and interpreted using uniform methodology. The prevalence of the London classification was compared between symptom groups (CC, FI and coexistent CC/FI), equipment types, and sites. Clinical impact was assessed using Cleveland Clinic constipation and St. Marks incontinence scores.

Results:

Of 1,012 included patients (85.6% women), 30.5% had self-reported CC, 33.2% had FI, and 36.3% had coexistent CC/FI. Rectoanal areflexia was uncommon (3.1%). Disorders of anal tone/contractility (CC: 45.0%; FI: 68.5%; coexistent CC/FI: 63.8%; p<0.0001), and disorders of rectal sensation (major findings: rectal hyposensitivity, CC: 10.0%; FI: 5.0%; coexistent CC/FI: 11.1%; p=0.018; rectal hypersensitivity, CC: 3.8%; FI: 9.0%; coexistent CC/FI: 4.9%; p=0.025) varied between symptom groups and were associated with symptom severity. Most disorders of rectoanal coordination were found in similar proportions across symptom groups and were not associated with severity of CC (median Cleveland Clinic constipation score 10-14 in all groups). Prevalences of some disorders differed between equipment types (specifically balloon expulsion test).

Discussion:

This prospective multicenter study provides information on the prevalence and clinical impact of the London classification, and will guide refinement of the current London classification.
Cartilhas de alfabetização no Brasil:
Authors: Unas Dias Magna Aparecida , Janzkovski Cardoso Cancionila
Published: January 2025

Neste artigo, as cartilhas são entendidas como fonte/documento histórico e como artefato cultural (Peres; Michel, 2019). Apresentamos um recorte de uma pesquisa que analisou, em perspectiva histórica, as temáticas das publicações sobre cartilhas de alfabetização em periódicos brasileiros entre 2000 e 2021. A fundamentação teórica se apoia na História Cultural e na sua possibilidade de amplificar objetos, métodos e fontes de pesquisa, assim como abordagens dessas fontes, abrindo perspectivas de análise do pensamento e da política educacional sob diversas óticas (Burke, 2005; Chartier, 1990). Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico sobre cartilhas, que aponta e sistematiza aspectos desse conhecimento acumulado, tais como: temas mais estudados, cartilhas escolhidas, grupos de pesquisa, periódicos que mais publicaram, autores e métodos utilizados. O corpus é constituído de 59 artigos, pesquisados no Google Acadêmico e no Portal de Periódicos da Capes. Os dados foram organizados em oito categorias, sendo que, neste texto, explora-se apenas uma delas: Produção, difusão, circulação e permanência de certos títulos. Essa categoria abrange 20,3% do corpus (12 artigos) e sua sistematização ocorreu em três subcategorias. Os resultados evidenciam uma multiplicidade de temáticas trabalhadas nos textos analisados e confirmam o caráter de artefato cultural das cartilhas escolares e seu potencial para a história da alfabetização.
entrelaçamento decolonial-intercultural na Educação Escolar Indígena Brasileira
Authors: Alcantara da Silva Anne Karine , Lima de Moraes Lorena
Published: January 2025

A Educação Escolar Indígena (EEI) é um tipo de modelo educacional baseado na afirmação e no resgate da identidade étnica durante o processo de construção do conhecimento nativo. Devido à sua trajetória histórica, marcada por uma forte herança colonial, torna-se necessária a implementação e o asseguramento de um ensino que atenda suas necessidades. Desse modo, o presente artigo objetiva analisar a presença e a concepção da Educação Escolar Indígena, acompanhada dos debates sobre decolonialidade e interculturalidade a partir de uma Revisão Integrativa (RI) de trabalhos publicados no Portal de Periódicos da Capes e na Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) entre os anos de 2019 a 2023. Diante do material analisado, é possível afirmar que os estudos sobre o tema ainda são insuficientes, uma vez que foram encontradas apenas 44 produções (artigos, dissertações e teses), dentre as quais algumas não se correlacionaram completamente com a temática, repetiam-se e/ou apresentaram distinções entre descritores para o entendimento das práticas decoloniais-interculturais. Logo, evidencia-se a importância de um estudo que saia do pressuposto eurocêntrico predominante nos saberes trabalhados nas escolas. Por fim, espera-se que este artigo possa colaborar no campo da escolarização indígena, contribuindo para a construção de procedimentos didáticos-metodológicos representativos.

Authors: Li Qiang , Yu Shiwang , Li Zhancheng , Liu Wenwei , Cheng Hua , Chen Shuqi
Published: January 2025

Enhancing the sensitivity of biomedical spectroscopy is crucial for advancing medical research and diagnostics. Metasurfaces have emerged as powerful platforms for enhancing the sensitivity of various biomedical spectral detection technologies. This capability arises from their unparalleled ability to improve interactions between light and matter through the localization and enhancement of light fields. In this article, we review representative approaches and recent advances in metasurface-enhanced biomedical spectroscopy. We provide a comprehensive discussion of various biomedical spectral detection technologies enhanced by metasurfaces, including infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and other spectral modalities. We demonstrate the advantages of metasurfaces in improving detection sensitivity, reducing detection limits, and achieving rapid biomolecule detection while discussing the challenges associated with the design, preparation, and stability of metasurfaces in biomedical detection procedures. Finally, we explore future development trends of metasurfaces for enhancing biological detection sensitivity and emphasize their wide-ranging applications.
Synthesizing sustainable construction paradigms: A comprehensive review and bibliometric analysis of granite waste powder utilization and moisture correction in concrete
Authors: Raman Sphurty , Nateriya Raman
Published: January 2025

This comprehensive review and scientometric analysis address the critical need for sustainable construction practices by examining the utilization of granite waste in concrete. The study responds to mounting environmental challenges in construction waste management, particularly addressing granite processing waste which comprises 50–60% of production [Indian Bureau of Mines. ariMinerals yearbook 2021 (Part-III: Mineral reviews), 60th edn, Granite (Advance Release), Indian Bureau of Mines, Ministry of Mines, Government of India, Nagpur, 2021.]. Through rigorous analysis of 585 publications from 2008 to 2024, the study reveals optimal granite waste replacement levels of 20–25% for sand and 10–15% for cement, yielding enhanced mechanical properties with compressive strengths up to 66 and 72 MPa, respectively. The research emphasizes the crucial role of moisture correction based on saturated surface dry conditions for consistent performance. Key findings demonstrate that granite waste can effectively replace up to 25% of sand and 15% of cement, contributing to reduced landfill use and lower CO2 emissions. The study identifies research gaps, including limited long-term durability studies and the need for standardization. Future directions propose investigating synergies with other supplementary cementitious materials and applications in emerging concrete technologies. This work provides a framework for optimizing granite waste in concrete, balancing environmental benefits with improved mechanical properties, and offering valuable insights for developing sustainable concrete solutions that potentially reduce environmental impact while enhancing performance.
Adipokines Pathogenesis in Heart Failure
Authors: Bibi Fozia , Aslam Ayesha , Naseem Hooria , Khurshid Huma , Haider Ali , Ashraf Habiba , Rafaqat Saira
Published: January 2025

Many studies have reported that obesity causes heart failure (HF) pathogenesis. The elevated circulating levels of angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2) observed in patients with HF suggest potential links among elevated ANGPTL2 levels, metabolic disturbances, and inflammation. C1q/TNF-related protein 3 and C1q/TNF-related protein 9 are diminished in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction, in proportion to disease severity, and are associated with elevated morbidity and mortality. In addition, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has been suggested to be involved in the pathophysiology of diastolic HF. Further studies are necessary to determine whether FGF21 plays a causal role in HF, and whether measuring circulating FGF21 might effectively improve HF prediction, diagnosis, and prognosis. Osteopontin has also been reported to be upregulated in patients with HF and therefore might potentially serve as a novel prognostic biomarker in patients with chronic HF. A considerable number of patients with community-acquired HF have elevated tumor necrosis factor-alpha, which is associated with significantly diminished survival and significantly elevated risk of HF.
On the Forecastability of Agricultural Output
Authors: Kyriazi Foteini , Efthymios Xylangouras  , Theodoros Papadogonas
Published: January 2025

The disruption of supply chain due to Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine, render the prediction of agricultural output a determinant factor of economic life. We consider the predictability of agricultural output based on a set of explanatory variables, that include agricultural input, prices and consumer demand among others, for Greece and explore the usefulness of these variables compared to standard, univariate, forecasting methods. We evaluate the impact of using combined information in the form of principal components, and the use of averaging for producing accurate forecasts. Our results indicate that agricultural output is predictable and, moreover, we identify the factors that, for the case of Greece, lead to such predictability. Our outcomes can be used in a variety of ways, the least of which can be scenario analysis that might be very useful in real-world policy making.
Diagnóstico de habilidades lectoescritoras de las personas estudiantes de primer ingreso a la Sede de Occidente, Universidad de Costa Rica, durante el año 2022
Authors: Alfaro Alfaro Marlenne María , Solórzano Vargas William , Rojas Rojas Guaner , Masís Chacón Celenia
Published: January 2025

En este documento se presentan los principales resultados del diagnóstico realizado a una muestra estudiantil universitaria compuesta por 261 estudiantes de primer ingreso en la Sede de Occidente de la Universidad de Costa Rica durante el año 2022. El objetivo principal del estudio fue determinar las fortalezas y debilidades en comprensión lectora de los estudiantes de primer ingreso a las diversas carreras que se imparten en la mencionada sede universitaria. Metodológicamente, se aplicó el instrumento denominado Prueba de Habilidades en Lectoescritura (PHL) a 100 hombres y 161 mujeres, empadronados en 30 carreras distintas. Entre los principales resultados obtenidos, luego de su análisis, se evidencia lo siguiente: en lo que respecta a las fortalezas y debilidades en comprensión lectora, la mayoría de los participantes presenta debilidades en uno, varios o todos los atributos evaluados (palabra, enunciado, párrafo y texto), dado que las probabilidades de dominio establecidas —inicial, en consolidación y competente— se encuentran presentes en estudiantes de todas las carreras. El 40 % de los estudiantes que aplicaron la PHL tiene un nivel “inicial” de dominio en las cuatro categorías textuales que diagnostica la prueba: palabra, enunciado, párrafo y texto, mientras que un 23 % tiene un dominio “competente” en las cuatro categorías. Se determinó, además, que no existe relación entre las variables de género o de carrera con los resultados obtenidos en la PHL. Es decir, los promedios de dominio de las categorías no varían ni manifiestan diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el grupo de hombres y mujeres, ni por carreras.
„Mundi inversi“ Slávy dcery
Authors: Kiss Szemán Róbert
Published: January 2025

Studie se zabývá strukturálními otázkami jednoho z nejvýznamnějších děl Jána Kollára, Slávy dcery (1824), které vyšlo před dvěma sty lety. Po prvním vydání básník dílo rozšířil o dva nové zpěvy (1832): Lethe provází čtenáře do slovanského nebe, Acheron vykresluje utrpení hříšníků ve slovanském pekle. Tyto písně sice zůstaly v genealogickém vztahu s původním dílem, ale jako nové, zvláštní textové formy zásadně změnily strukturu prvotní básnické skladby. Studie podrobuje kritice v české a slovenské literární historii obecně přijímaný estetický úsudek, dle kterého autor zmíněnými dvěma novými zpěvy „pokazil“ své původní dílo z r. 1824.

Prostředníctvím recepční estetiky autor studie vychází z vědecké hypotézy, že Kollár, který ve 20. letech vytvořil básnickou skladbu Slávy dcera, ji na přelomu 30. let dekonstruoval a rozšířil. Nový textový konglomerát nejenom zásadně změnil rozsah původního básnického díla, ale otevřel také možnosti nové čtenářské interpretace na změněném recepčním horizontu třicátých a čtyřicátých let 19. století.

Výskyt topoi souvisejících s alteritou není v Kollárově díle raritou: již dříve se autorovi podařilo identifikovat mimo jiné topos „fertilitas Pannoniae/Slaviae“ nebo „querela Hungariae/Slaviae“. V této studii se autor pokouší popsat dva nové zpěvy básnického díla pomocí pojmu „mundus inversus“, tedy literárního topoi „obráceného světa“ (Curtius, 1946). „Mundus inversus“ je kulturní topos známý z alterity, ke kterému sahali i autoři pozdějších období, včetně Kollára, s cílem představit kulturní a jazykové neřesti své doby, jakož i společenskou a politickou absurditu. Ke zobrazení převrácené společnosti použil Kollár bohatý vzorový materiál, v němž jsou většinou zastoupeni aktéři slovanských, německých a uherských dějin, církve a kultury. (Byly z nich vybrány ty nejtypičtější příklady, včetně sonetů představujících sv. Jeronýma jako „slovanského“ církevního otce, dále někteří emblematičtí němečtí historikové nebo maďarsko-srbský bilingvní básník Mihály Vitkovics.)

Ukazuje se, že rozšíření Slávy dcery o dva zmíněné zpěvy slouží i k tematizaci nevýhodného postavení nastupujících novodobých slovanských národů v mocenských strukturách habsburské říše a Uherského království. V tomto pojetí sloužily karnevalizace (Bachtin) a literární topos „mundus inversus“ také jako kritika koloniálního systému 19. století, a přispěly tak k formování slovanského národního emblematismu.
«Sile», «nole»: estudio fonológico y dialectal de algunas creaciones léxicas lúdicas
Authors: De-Benito-Moreno Carlota , Martínez-Paricio Violeta
Published: January 2025

En este trabajo investigamos las propiedades fonológicas y la distribución dialectal de las creaciones léxicas lúdicas documentadas en los procesos de formación de palabras del ámbito del intercambio de cromos, que suelen emplearse en la infancia y preadolescencia. A partir de las respuestas de 394 hablantes de español europeo, obtenidas mediante un cuestionario en línea, hemos documentado cuatro tipos de procesos de formación de palabras: acortamiento oracional (sile < ‘sí le tengo’), acortamiento léxico (repe < ‘repetido’), aumento mediante epéntesis (sipi < ‘sí’) y alteración desinencial (tengui < ‘tengo’). Desde el punto de vista fonológico, nuestro análisis constata la importancia del pie trocaico a la hora de condicionar la forma prosódica y el patrón acentual de estas creaciones léxicas, ya que los resultados son mayoritariamente bisílabos y llanos. Desde el punto de vista dialectal, analizamos la distribución regional de las distintas formas, prestando especial atención a las formas leístas, interesantes por extenderse más allá del territorio típicamente leísta, lo que sugiere una difusión de estas formas ya lexicalizadas.

Cycling as Existential Topology
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Markov A. V. , Shtayn О. А. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: January 2025

The article deals with the relationship between the issues of existential philosophy and the experience of a cyclist. In the course of the research, the historical and philosophical study of the matter is augmented by a critical analysis of the phenomenology of everyday life and a consideration of the human body on a bicycle as a complex unit with its own catastrophic hazards. The bicycle has contributed to a shift in the problematics of philosophy from the study of the relation between the potential and the actual, or the positivist study of natural forces, to the consideration of being as a series of problematic situations. The bicycle juxtaposes inhabited and uninhabited spaces in a new way that allows for a productive convergence between deconstruction, as a doctrine of the rhizomaticity of spatial experience, and new ontologies that point to the cognizability of only inhabited spaces, where things are understood as inhabitants of spaces, aiming Heidegger ’s concept of language.
Globalization, Modernity, Persian Language and National Identity
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Khamenehei N. , Tokarskaya L. V. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: January 2025

The impact of globalization on the national identity of Iranian society, with a particular focus on the role of the Persian language as a key element of cultural and social identity. The study examines how globalization processes affect the cultural, political, and social aspects of Iranian society. It explores modernist and postmodernist approaches to globalization and their implications for preserving national identity, including the transformation of the Persian language as an important tool of cultural expression. A cultural and analytical approach is employed, including an exploration of the relationship between globalization and identity. Special attention is given to postmodernist concepts and their application to the context of globalization in Iran. Globalization, as both a challenge and an opportunity, provides Iran with tools to strengthen its national identity through the preservation and development of the Persian language, literature, and art. The article offers practical recommendations for adapting Iranian society to global challenges while maintaining its cultural values and traditions. The Persian language is affirmed as a medium for sustaining cultural uniqueness and fostering connections with the outside world.
How do One Mean “Together”?
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Tomiltseva D. A.
Published: January 2025

This article is a preface to a special issue of the journal “Koinon”. The article offers different research positions on the representation of human-animal coexistence. By posing three questions “what is it – together?”, “how is it – together?”, “with whom is it – together?” the options for representing the coexistence of humans and animals that have developed to date in the philosophical and humanitarian sciences are revealed. As a result, we have three theoretical and methodological strategies: 1) based on the unity of humans and animals; 2) based on the practices that develop and organize coexistence between humans and animals; 3) based on a heterogeneous assemblage of multiple objects, and actants, mutually defining each other.
Horror Elements in Video Games as a Tool to Represent Contemporary Social Problems
Authors:   Dostoevsky Omsk State University, Isaev A. I.
Published: January 2025

Video game research helps to reveal their potential as one of the tools for regulating modern society. Despite the fact that there is currently a predominant negative and dismissive attitude towards video games in society, they are one of the popular everyday activities for a quarter of Russians. Millions of people around the world play video games, which puts this practice on a par with psychotherapy, integral neuroprogramming (INP) and other practices that shape individual and mass consciousness. The communication potential of video games remains insufficiently studied. In this article, the author addresses the issues of the representative function of horror elements in the video game space. Based on literature and statistical data and other sources, Game Studies researchers discuss both the very concept of «video game» and the perception of the dialogue it offers on specific social problems.
Internal Orientalism in the Movies of Luchino Visconti
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Korneychuk Yu. A.
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this research is to analyze the use of elements of internal orientalism to reflect interethnic interaction and cultural stereotypes within Italy on the example of Luchino Visconti’s cinematic work. Based on the dramaturgical elements of this director’s films, the relationship between northern and southern Italians is analyzed, which allows us to explore the division of Italy’s social space through the prism of cultural stereotypes. Within one country, in which the northern regions are traditionally associated with industry, wealth and progress, while the southern regions are associated with poverty, backwardness and traditionalism, the reference points of orientalist intentions are marked. It is shown that despite the absence of explicit motifs of internal orientalism, Visconti often uses them to enhance the dramaturgy.
Synthetic Paradigm in Philosophy: P. Tillich and D. V. Pivovarov on the Problem of Estrangement and “Man’s Existential Predicament”
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Shendrik A. A.
Published: January 2025

The article considers the peculiarities of the interpretation of the category “estrangement” by the German-American theologian and philosopher P. Tillich and the Russian philosopher and religious scholar D. V. Pivovarov. The author’s interpretation of biblical images as peculiar “answers” to existential “questions”, the correlation of ontological categories “estrangement”, “sin”, “essence”, “existence” are studied. The methodological basis of the study was D. V. Pivovarov’s ideas about the revival of synthetic philosophy, his proposed definition of religion as a sacralization of man’s connection with the Absolute, and P. Tillich’s proposed methods of correlation.

Published: January 2025

RESUMO: O debate sobre o corpo tem sido constante em uma série de campos do conhecimento, principalmente na Educação Física. No Brasil, esse debate foi intensificado a partir dos anos de 1980, momento em que o campo da Educação Física começa a se aproximar de modo sistemático das ciências humanas. Nesse âmbito, o Colégio Brasileiro de Ciências do Esporte (CBCE) e o seu principal evento, o Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências do Esporte (CONBRACE), apresentaram as pesquisas dos seus participantes por meio dos Grupos de Trabalhos Temáticos (GTTs) a partir de 1997. Portanto, o objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar as concepções de corpo presentes nos anais do CONBRACE, no período de 1997 a 2017. Esta pesquisa é quanti-qualitativa por meio de análise documental, com características bibliométricas. Para compor a análise dos dados, a busca e a seleção dos textos se deram a partir da presença da palavra “corpo” no título do texto, no resumo ou nas palavras-chave das comunicações orais. Os resultados demonstram que as principais concepções de corpo estão relacionadas às de corpo cultural; corpo existencial; corpo máquina/organismo; corpo sujeito pela corporeidade; e corpo identidade/simbólico, com uma forte aproximação deste debate com as perspectivas das ciências humanas, sociais, da filosofia e das artes em todo o período investigado. Em conclusão, este estudo analisou e apresentou variadas tendências, as quais apenas a realidade e a história como critérios de verdade poderão confirmar.
The dialectic of “nobodyness” and delinking: decoloniality in Darcy Ribeiro and its contribution to organizational studies
Authors: LOUREDO FÁBIO MOITA , WANDERLEY SERGIO
Published: January 2025

Abstract The globalization movement has highlighted the hegemony of the central countries in the production and dissemination of knowledge in management and organizations. The knowledge produced in this geopolitical configuration starts from a locus of enunciation that has a universalizing character and ignores the idiosyncrasies of Brazilian society and culture, revealing incongruities when analyzing our practices and organizations, disregarding the thinking of intellectuals and academics. In this theoretical essay, we argue that Darcy Ribeiro contributes to reflection on the identity of theories reproduced in organizational studies in Brazil. We propose a link between Darcy Ribeiro’s concept of “nobodyness” and the theoretical approach of delinking developed by Walter Mignolo, as an expression of re-existence and a response to the imperative of historically locating the space and dynamics of the study of the organizational field. As a theoretical contribution, the decolonial option and Brazilian social thought can support a new look at organizational and academic reality in the field of organizational studies.
Poder de Escolha: uma práxis decolonial para a ressignificação do espaço universitário
Authors: Maragni Felipe Teixeira Genta , Costa Ana Carolina Oliveira Rodrigues , Campos Natássia de Menezes , Nova Silvia Pereira de Castro Casa
Published: January 2025

Resumo O Poder de Escolha (PdE) é um projeto universitário criado e gerido pelo Grupo GENERAS na Faculdade de Economia, Administração, Contabilidade e Atuária (FEAUSP) da Universidade de São Paulo (USP). O projeto busca, com base nas pedagogias dialógicas de Paulo Freire e bell hooks, promover a criação de uma práxis decolonial tecida por estudantes, docentes e empreendedoras da periferia de São Paulo, por meio do empreendedorismo feminino periférico. Nossa proposta, neste artigo, é articular as escrevivências de pessoas que coconstroem o PdE, buscando entender como um projeto decolonial leva a tensões e ressignificações de suas concepções sobre si mesmas, sobre a universidade, a faculdade, o acesso de quem é considerado “de fora” a esses espaços, e sobre os papéis usualmente atribuídos a pessoas educadoras e educandas. Para tanto, foram conduzidas entrevistas com cinco pessoas envolvidas em duas edições do projeto, permitindo um processo autorreflexivo e, por conseguinte, a escrevivência. A análise das escrevivências indicou que o projeto proporcionou ressignificações acerca do pertencimento à universidade, do reconhecimento como empreendedora e por parte das empreendedoras, do que é esperado e possível de mulheres empreendedoras nas periferias da cidade, e do poder coletivo no e do processo ensino-aprendizagem. A relação dialógica com empreendedoras abre ainda, com essa experiência, possibilidades de discussão e de reconstrução da práxis acadêmica e da sua relação com a sociedade. Nossa contribuição consiste na articulação de saberes, da academia e da comunidade, visando construir uma identidade compartilhada, calcada na reflexão sobre a práxis e sobre teorias decoloniais, protagonizada por essas empreendedoras.

ABSTRACT This study evaluated the substitution of commercial antibiotics with phytotherapeutics and probiotics in Japanese quail diets during the rearing phase, and their effects on performance, serum metabolites, organ weight and size, and egg quality in the initial laying phase. Conducted over 42 days with 300 quails, starting at 21 days of age and an average weight of 87 ± 3.5 g, the quails were divided into five groups: negative control (no additives), commercial antibiotics, probiotics (BS Gold®), essential oils (Phyto 100®), and natural pollen. The experiment was analyzed using variance analysis and Tukey’s test with a 5% significance level. Feed conversion differed significantly in the periods between 28-35 and 35-42 days. Egg quality showed variations, with higher albumen height in the probiotic group, better yolk height and luminosity with pollen, increased luminosity in the control group, and a larger yolk diameter with phytotherapeutics. The findings indicated that essential oils, probiotics, and pollen effectively replaced antibiotics without negatively affecting zootechnical performance, serum metabolites, or organ weight and size. Additionally, egg performance and quality were maintained during the initial laying phase.

Published: January 2025

Abstract Objectives: the objective this study was evaluating the prevalence of maternal colonization by Group B beta-hemolytic Streptococcus (GBS) in pregnant women who delivered preterm and its relationship with adverse maternal/perinatal outcomes. Methods: we carried out a retrospective cohort study with singleton pregnancies with or without a culture for GBS (vaginal-rectum) who delivered spontaneously <37 weeks of gestation. Results: the study included 190 pregnant women, 53.1% (101/190) did not undergo culture for GBS and 46.8% (89/101) have done. Among the patients who had a culture, 13.5% (12/89) had positive culture for GBS and 86.5% (77/89) had a negative culture. Pregnant women without GBS culture had higher prevalence of preterm birth (74.3 vs. 59.6%, p=0.031) and lower prevalence of antibiotic prophylaxis (27.7 vs. 56.2%, p<0.001) than pregnant women with GBS culture. Higher prevalence of crystalline penicillin G use was observed in pregnant women with positive culture compared to pregnant women with negative culture for GBS (100 vs. 39%, p<0.0001). There was no significant association between pregnant women with or without a culture for GBS or positive and negative GBS cultures and adverse maternal/perinatal outcomes. Conclusion: No significant association was found between GBS culture or not, GBS positive or negative culture, adequate or inadequate GBS prophylaxis, and the prevalence of adverse maternal/perinatal outcomes.
Congenital toxoplasmosis in infants from chronically infected mothers: report of two cases
Authors: Almeida Roberta Rassi , Campos Geovana Batista de , Castro Ana Maria
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe two severe cases of congenital toxoplasmosis in infants born to chronically infected mothers who did not receive education or information on the prevention of gestational toxoplasmosis during prenatal care. Case description: The mothers had a previous serological diagnosis of toxoplasmosis conducted during prenatal care, with non-reactive (<10 IU/mL) IgM and reactive IgG (>10 IU/mL), and were considered “immune” to the infection. Both infants were born with sequelae of the congenital infection, including neurological and ocular alterations. Comments: Managing gestational toxoplasmosis in susceptible pregnant women is a considerable challenge in several countries, especially in South America. It is necessary to diagnose and monitor chronic gestational toxoplasmosis, as it may result from reactivation or reinfection. Both forms can cause sequelae and irreparable damage to newborns. In addition, it is essential to guide all pregnant women on how to avoid contact with Toxoplasma gondii, regardless of their serological status.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to report the case of a child with Jacobsen syndrome in order to provide phenotypic information about this rare genetic disorder. Case description: A 5-year-old female preschooler was diagnosed with Jacobsen syndrome by karyotype testing. She presented with a variety of craniofacial anomalies and malformations, including cardiac impairment, characterized by a cluster of malformations in the left ventricle in line with the diagnosis of Shone’s complex. Comments: Jacobsen syndrome occurs due to a deletion of contiguous genes on the long arm of chromosome 11 (11q). The main characteristics associated with this genetic disorder are short stature and delayed neuropsychomotor development, trigonocephaly and craniofacial dysmorphism, hematological alterations, and cardiac malformations, among others. Thus, the child is being monitored at a Craniofacial Anomalies Center with a multi-professional team in order to monitor her development and treat the associated comorbidities.
Nietzsche e a Grande Responsabilidade: entre a culpa e a inocência
Authors: Oliveira Jelson de
Published: January 2025

Resumo Pretende-se, neste artigo, analisar o conceito de responsabilidade na obra de Friedrich Nietzsche, como parte de sua crítica à moralidade ocidental e, como desdobramento, da tarefa filosófica por ele assumida, de levar tal moral à autossuperação. Para tanto, trata-se de demonstrar a centralidade que o conceito de responsabilidade ocupa, segundo o filósofo, na história dos sentimentos morais, principalmente quando associadas à ideia de culpa, punição e liberdade. A argumentação será fundamentada no conceito de grande responsabilidade [großen Verantwortlichkeit], cuja expressão resume a tarefa de superação em vista de uma teoria da inocência do devir.

The article presents the research results of the electrolyte density sensor based on a U-shaped cylindrical optical fiber, functioning on the base of the change in the conditions of optical radiation propagation in the places of macrobends. The formation of macrobends leads to additional attenuation of the power of the optical signal passing through the fiber. The compact U-shape allows the device to be easily integrated into existing monitoring systems, minimising the need for significant changes to the system design. Numerical simulations and experimental studies have determined the dependence of the attenuation of the optical power on the radius of the macrobend, which allows optimising the pa-rameters of these bends to achieve the maximum range of attenuation variation for a particular wavelength. Prelimi-nary characteristics and overall dimensions of the sensing element are being obtained. The proposed sensor designs are oriented towards applications in a wide range of industries, including chemistry, pharmaceuticals, energy and others, where continuous monitoring and analysis of electrolyte properties is required.
A Study on Korean Language Teachers' Perceptions of Utilizing AI-Generated Illustrations.
Authors:   The Korean Society Of Bilingualism, Kim Minsun
Published: January 2025

This study explores the current use of illustrations in teaching and learning materials used in Korean language education and compares Korean language teachers' perceptions of illustrations generated by AI with their views on conventional illustrations. To achieve this, a two-hour workshop on AI image generation was provided to 52 active Korean language teachers, helping them to understand AI tools and giving them hands-on experience in creating illustrations using AI. After experiencing the AI image generation process, a survey was conducted on three main topics: first, the current use of illustrations in Korean language education; second, a comparison between traditional and AI-generated illustrations; and third, evaluations of AI image generation and teachers’ willingness to use it. The results showed that Korean language teachers regarded illustrations as highly important in the educational setting and typically sourced them through online searches. Additionally, AI-generated illustrations received significantly higher scores in terms of usefulness, difficulty, relevance to the teaching content, and overall satisfaction compared to conventional illustrations, indicating that AI-generated illustrations could address some limitations of traditional ones. Furthermore, the study found that teachers were highly enthusiastic about learning how to use AI tools and creating their own AI illustrations. This paper holds significance in suggesting a new paradigm shift in the way illustrations are acquired for Korean language teaching materials, moving from “searching” to “generating”.
El aprovechamiento de las aguas superficiales en el abastecimiento a Cartagena (España) a comienzos del siglo XX: el reto tecnológico frente al riesgo sanitario
Authors: Perez de la Cruz Francisco Javier , Díaz García Carolina
Published: January 2025

The water supply to Cartagena has been a challenge throughout history. From the end of the 19th century, different private companies tried to take advantage of the business opportunity, with The Carthagena Mining & Water C˚ Ltd. standing out among them all. One of the characteristics of the activity developed by the company was its ability to make the most of the water resources of an area with enormous climatic difficulties, adopting technological solutions that maximized the use of the existing water in the environment and which gave rise to a historical heritage of enormous interest. This imperative need to take advantage of the scarce water available, specifically the surface water that occasionally circulated in the area, was the origin of the biological contamination problems that were detected in the city’s water supply.
CZECHOSLOVAK NORMALISATION VS. CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL MEDIA: IDENTIFYING THE IDEOLOGICAL DISCOURSE MARKERS
Authors:   Matej Bel University, Banská Bystrica, Slovakia, BACHLEDOVÁ Marianna
Published: January 2025

Background. Czechoslovakia belonged among the countries that fell into the sphere of the Soviet influence in the wake of WW2. In the Eastern Bloc, all aspects of public life were controlled by state institutions, including literature and publishing. This paper consists of two parts. Firstly, it presents research dealing with the literary paratexts pertaining to fiction translated from English into Slovak and published during the normalisation period. The goal was to explore the ideological discourse in the selected material and identify Soviet propaganda. Secondly, it explains how the same methodology can be used to identify contemporary Russian propaganda on the Internet.

Methods. This paper combines translation historiography and material research. In the first part, discourse analysis was performed on 100 samples of paratexts. The method of analysing ideological discourse markers is subsequently transposed to a new context, i.e., contemporary propaganda on the Slovak social media with the purpose to illustrate how current Russian propaganda affects not only the virtual environment, but also physical reality in Slovakia.

Results. The presence of ideological markers in the normalisation paratexts peaked in 1977, which correlates with Charter 77, an informal civic initiative against normalisation practices. The results of the second part of the presented research show that contemporary Russia successfully uses the same persuasion techniques as during the existence of the Soviet Union. The content found in the samples can be easily traced back to the “alternative” media outlets, some of them demonstrably funded by Russia. However, in the online era, dissemination of false information and propaganda is much faster, which poses a global security risk for democracy and human rights.

Conclusions. As the Globsec survey (Szekers 2021) has shown, Slovakia is the most vulnerable EU country when it comes to falling for disinformation. The presented method of ideological discourse marker analysis could be helpful in terms of propaganda identification. The Internet requires a completely new skillset to sift through the vast amount of information that may or may not be credible.
Circular economy: business models, design strategies and its indicators
Authors: Brinsi Wael , Koloszár László
Published: January 2025

Over the last years, the concept of Circular Economy has received a lot of attention from major global companies, with the intent of giving a better alternative to the prevailing economic development model, known as “take, make, and dispose”. Moving from one business model to another requires a mutual effort from companies, government and consumers as well as a better understanding is needed to promote and stimulate this new model. However, there is not a comprehensive framework available to assist all businesses in developing a circular business model. This paper addresses this gap and develops a theoretical framework of strategies to provide a clear vision for designers and business strategists in the transition from a linear to a circular economy.

Improving physical fitness of female students by means of health-saving techniques
Authors:   Far Eastern State Agrarian University, Dyachenko Yulia A.
Published: January 2025

Relevance of the research lies in the search for optimal methods to improve the components of preparedness
against the background of poor health of modern students. The purpose of the study is to analyze the impact of healthsaving practices on the indicators of physical fitness of female students. A group of female students majoring in economics
was observed during the period from 2021 to 2024. The students were classified by health status to the main medical group.
Classes in physical education were held according to the academic schedule, depending on the stages of training, i.e. from
1 to 2 classes per week. Health-saving tools were used in the form of theoretical, methodological and practical exercises according to the developed comprehensive program using elements of athletics, basketball and fitness during training
sessions except for winter and summer holidays. Initially, significantly low results were shown in terms of overall endurance,
strength and speed. The values of explosive power, speed endurance and flexibility corresponded to a satisfactory level. At
the second stage of the study, diametrically opposite changes in the studied values were recorded: initially low indicators
increased against the background of a decrease in others. After correcting the applied program by adding additional
exercises in the gym, there was a significant improvement in all indicators. Based on the results obtained, it is concluded
that it is advisable to introduce the proposed program into the educational process of physical education in conjunction
with traditional methods. The use of health-saving exercises to improve physical fitness has been reliably confirmed.
