Authors: Wilujeng Ressa Nur Ambar , Nurhadi Nurhadi , Astutik Dwi
Published: January 2025

Lambannya proses penegakan hukum terhadap tersangka kasus kekerasan seksual di pesantren Ploso Jombang menjadi catatan sejarah rumitnya penanganan kasus kekerasan seksual di lembaga keagamaan. Dinamika kuasa yang dimiliki oleh MSAT, kepemilikan sektor perekonomian yang besar di Jombang menjadi salah satu alasan sulitnya para korban mendapatkan keadilan. Women’s Crisis Center (WCC) Jombang sebagai Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat yang bergerak di bidang pendampingan perempuan korban kekerasan seksual berbasis gender berupaya untuk membantu korban dengan membentuk jaringan aliansi inklusi yang beranggotakan dari beberapa komunitas daerah Jombang dan masyarakat secara personal. Perjalanan panjang aliansi dalam mengadvokasi kasus ini dengan berbagai kendala yang mereka terima membuat penelitian ini harus dilakukan untuk mengetahui penguatan jaringan aliansi inklusi dalam mengadvokasi kasus kekerasan seksual di pesantren Ploso Jombang. Penelitian ini dikategorikan sebagai penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus, untuk memperoleh data dilakukan teknik wawancara semi terstruktur dan dokumentasi. Uji keabsahan data menggunakan teknik triangulasi sumber, dan untuk menganalisis data memilih metode dari Miles & Huberman yaitu; reduksi data; penyajian data; dan penarikan kesimpulan/verifikasi. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penguatan jaringan aliansi terbentuk secara internal dan eksternal, secara internal penguatan aliansi terjadi di dalam hubungan antar anggota atas dasar kepercayan dan norma yang tidak tertulis, melalui pembagian peran; saling menjaga komunikasi dan keamanan antar anggota; menghargai setiap kontribusi; serta keputusan untuk mempertahankan aliansi hingga saat ini merupakan bentuk kuatnya jaringan aliansi. Secara eksternal, aliansi didukung oleh beberapa pihak lokal di luar aliansi seperti Gus AA dan FRMJ; lembaga tinggi kenegaraan; dan beberapa media lokal dan nasional.
Racionalita komunikačnej odozvy podniku ako základ posilňovania community managementu v online prostredí
Authors: Madleňák Adam
Published: January 2025

The growing influence of freedom of expression is increasingly evident in the expanding online space, where individuals share various opinions, often without regard for their truthfulness or credibility. This trend is particularly noticeable in the marketing communications of businesses, which, in their efforts to enhance their reputation or maintain a consumer-friendly image, must actively respond to these online comments. To effectively manage their reputation, businesses not only need to track and identify mentions of their company and products in the digital world but also prepare appropriate communication responses. These responses are key to building and nurturing customer relationships, forming an essential part of a strategic community management approach. The article, drawing from empirical survey results, emphasizes a key conclusion: businesses generally prefer to offer brief, factual responses rather than in-depth explanations when addressing public feedback. This approach aims to curb the spread of misinformation, ensuring that responses remain clear and direct while minimizing the risk of distortion, incompleteness, or falsehoods in the information shared with the public.

The advantages of protected areas mainly relate to the evaluation of ecosystem services which provide benefits to people. These affect various areas of life. From the perspective of economic theory, these are externalities. These are perceived as benefits or disadvantages that occur outside the market to another party. Based on the review of literature, this paper highlights the advantages of the biosphere reserves regarding the externalities that arise from their presence as a distinct type of area connecting the principles of environmental protection with suitable socio-economic development. The paper thus contributes to the development of theoretical knowledge, given that this is a poorly researched issue, but at the same time very topical due to climate change and its negative impacts on nature and humans.

Authors: Qonitatin Novi , Rahmawati Ira Shofa
Published: January 2025

Proses amputasi memaksa individu untuk menyesuaikan diri dengan perubahan fisik yang signifikan, terutama pada pria dewasa muda yang berada pada fase penting dalam perkembangan hidupnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi dinamika resiliensi pada pria dewasa muda yang mengalami disabilitas fisik akibat amputasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif fenomenologis dengan teknik interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Partisipan dipilih melalui teknik purposive sampling dengan kriteria pria berusia 18−40 tahun yang telah mengalami amputasi minimal satu tahun. Hasil penelitian mengidentifikasi tiga tema utama: konflik pascaamputasi, titik balik perubahan, dan proses penerimaan diri. Konflik pascaamputasi mencakup perubahan emosi dan kondisi keterasingan, yang memperlihatkan tantangan besar dalam penyesuaian diri. Titik balik perubahan ditandai oleh penguatan dari lingkungan dan motivasi internal, yang berperan penting dalam mengubah perspektif partisipan. Proses penerimaan diri melibatkan perjalanan dari penolakan terhadap kondisi fisik, perubahan cara pandang, hingga pemaknaan hidup baru pascaamputasi. Kesimpulannya, resiliensi pada pria dewasa muda pascaamputasi merupakan proses dinamis yang didorong oleh interaksi antara dukungan sosial dan kekuatan internal. Penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya dukungan jangka panjang dan program intervensi yang komprehensif untuk mendukung proses adaptasi yang berkelanjutan.

Kesadaran masyarakat Indonesia terhadap kondisi kesejahteraan hewan makin meningkat. Peningkatan kesadaran ini mendorong masyarakat untuk terlibat dalam aktivitas menyejahterakan hewan secara sukarela. Akan tetapi, Indonesia dinobatkan sebagai negara peringkat pertama konten penyiksaan hewan di media sosial. Dua kondisi yang berlawanan ini terjadi karena peranan empati terhadap hewan yang lebih tinggi pada kelompok volunteer kesejahteraan hewan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji hubungan antara sikap terhadap hewan dengan empati terhadap hewan pada kelompok volunteer kesejahteraan hewan. Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan metode kuantitatif korelasional untuk melihat hubungan antara kedua variabel. Variabel sikap terhadap hewan diukur menggunakan Animal Attitude Scale (AAS), sedangkan empati terhadap hewan diukur menggunakan Animal Empathy Scale (AES). Sebanyak 266 partisipan (93.6% perempuan dan 6.4% laki-laki) merupakan kelompok volunteer kesejahteraan hewan yang diambil dengan teknik non-probability sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan signifikan antara sikap terhadap hewan dengan empati terhadap hewan pada kelompok volunteer kesejahteraan hewan. Sikap terhadap hewan merupakan penilaian seseorang terhadap hewan yang terbentuk melalui pengalaman maupun informasi tentang hewan, baik secara positif maupun negatif. Hasil temuan ini diharapkan mampu memberi gambaran sikap yang positif terhadap hewan untuk meningkatkan empati terhadap hewan dan mengurangi adanya perilaku kekerasan terhadap hewan.

A Framework Proposal for Building Ideation Models on the Front End of Innovation
Authors: Bezhovski Zlatko , Apasieva Tamara Jovanov , Temjanovski Riste
Published: January 2025

Idea generation, as a key component of the Front End of Innovation (FEI), is a critical phase in entrepreneurial endeavors, serving as the foundation for new venture creation and product development. Innovation management and entrepreneurship literature underscores the importance of idea generation, emphasizing its role as an essential precursor to successful ventures and products. While academic research has extensively explored the FEI and idea generation methods, a significant gap remains in developing FEI models for broad use or specific contexts. Especially, there is a lack of action-oriented, performative models that offer detailed, applicable techniques and tools. Existing models often adopt only a corporate perspective, are overly broad, use complex structures or miss the use of new emerging digital tools, which makes these models not accessible or relevant to entrepreneurs or applicable across different industries or product types. To address these issues, employing the Integrative Literature Review Methodology, this study proposes a comprehensive FEI framework designed to facilitate the development of new idea-generation models that cater to different types of users and contexts and incorporate contemporary techniques and tools. The framework focuses on six (6) key dimensions of FEI models: (1) Model Orientation, Scope and Context; (2) Innovation Type and Innovation Drivers; (3) Model Structure and Visualization; (4) Flow of Activities, Flexibility and Adaptability; (5) Core FEI Activities and Granularity; and (6) Toolkit (Tools and Techniques), offering a range of recommendations for each. It aims to provide scholars and practitioners (entrepreneurs, teams, or companies) with a systematic approach to creating usable FEI models that make the Front End of Innovation more structured and predictable.

The oil price influences and tendencies have gained, lately major developments both at the European level and on the international level. Moreover, several interconnections between the energy sector and oil price influences have become the panacea of several important research and studies. In this article, we provide a qualitative and quantitative approach to the interconnections manifested between oil price movements and the developments of the energy sector. The study is focused on Central and Eastern European Countries which have similarities and differences both at the energy sector level and economy level. The econometric techniques used in this study reveal the importance of the causality relationship between oil price movements and the energy sector taking into account the macroeconomic context. The conclusions of this study highlight some important fine-tuning aspects that must be recalibrated in Central and Eastern European Countries to increase the economic outcomes, strengthen the energy sector, and respond properly to the oil price movement trends.

Published: January 2025

Introdução: O carcinoma epidermóide é o tumor maligno
mais frequente da cavidade oral e afeta geralmente homens
com mais de 65 anos, com hábitos tabágicos e etílicos. Tem-
-se verificado, no entanto, um aumento da incidência deste
tumor em mulheres jovens, sem os fatores de risco habituais. Na cavidade oral, surgem frequentemente na língua,
porções posterolateral e ventre, como massas duras e indolores ou lesões ulcerativas. A disseminação linfática é comum, através dos gânglios dos níveis I a III, e metastiza à
distância para o pulmão, fígado e osso. Consoante o estadio
tumoral, a abordagem terapêutica consiste em cirurgia, com
possibilidade de radio e quimioterapia, adjuvante ou neoadjuvante. Descrição do Caso Clínico: Doente de 38 anos, professora de flauta e saxofone, a amamentar, sem outros antecedentes ou hábitos relevantes, recorreu à urgência
devido a úlcera da língua com 15 dias de evolução. Constatou-se a presença de uma lesão vegetante, de 15 milímetros,
no terço médio do bordo lateral esquerdo da língua, bem
delimitada, dolorosa e associada a otalgia e odinofagia desde há 2 meses. Foi submetida a biópsia incisional, que revelou um carcinoma epidermoide queratinizante moderadamente diferenciado, com invasão muscular. A lesão foi
estadiada como cT2NxM0 e a doente foi submetida a hemiglossectomia esquerda e esvaziamento ganglionar cervical
seletivo bilateral numa abordagem conjunta entre a Estomatologia e a Otorrinolaringologia. A análise histológica da
peça cirúrgica mostrou margens livres de tumor, com lesão
a mais de 5 milímetros (à exceção da inferior que foi alargada após exame extemporâneo), e ausência de invasão
ganglionar, determinando uma lesão pT2N0M0R0. O pós-
-operatório decorreu com melhoria progressiva da sensibilidade da língua e excelente preservação da função de órgão.
Atendendo aos resultados, a doente mantém vigilância.
Discussão e Conclusões: O carcinoma da cavidade oral é
comumente diagnosticado em fase avançada, dado que apenas se torna evidente ao atingir maior dimensão e invasão
local. A invasão linfática acontece muito rapidamente, sendo frequente a necessidade de tratamento adjuvante após
cirurgia. Neste caso, a rápida abordagem diagnóstica - apesar do desafio da apresentação clínica - e o tratamento precoce resultaram na excisão de um tumor não disseminado,
através de uma cirurgia conservadora de órgão, sem necessidade de terapia adjuvante, o que minimizou a limitação
funcional (e profissional) da doente.
Application of high-frequency Doppler ultrasound for comparative assessment of the response of the microcirculatory bloodstream to artificial ventilation and therapy with an oxygen-helium mixture in patients with severe viral pneumonia caused by COVID-19
Authors: Skedina M. A. , Kovaleva A. A. , Manuylov V. M.
Published: January 2025

The aim. To perform a comparative analysis of microcirculatory bed (MCB) response in patients with viral pneumonia (COVID-19), severe course, aggravated by arterial hypertension on artificial lung ventilation (ALV) and thermal oxygen-helium mixture (OHM) therapy.

Materials and methods. 9 patients were on mask ALV and 13 received OHM therapy. The OHM therapy was performed at gas concentration: O2 – 30 %, He – 70 %; the OHM temperature at the heater output was +95 оС (patients received it with t= up to +65 оС). The blood flow parameters in the MCB were recorded by ultrasound dopplerograph, 20 MHz sensor on the nail shaft of the thumb.

Results. The study has shown that the blood flow parameters in MCB were variable in patients on ALV. The increase in the blood flow velocity in MCB was due to blood inflow through the arteriolar link as a result of high values of HR (up to 100 beats/min), which ranged 0.741 – 2.428 cm/s on different days of observation. The PI index was high – 1.332 , some days its value increased by 13.7–26.7 %. Capillary blood flow indicators were low and averaged 0.181 cm/s. After OHM therapy, the blood flow velocity increased in all links of MCB: in the arteriolar and capillary by 7 %, in the venular almost 3 times as compared to the primary study. The PI index decreased from 1.56 to 1.155, vascular tone RI from 0.87 to 0.714. The positive effect of OHM therapy was observed after 30 min, 60 min and on subsequent days of MCB monitoring.

Published: January 2025

Introduction. Operations on the abdominal cavity organs and the anterior abdominal wall account for about 23.5–25.5 % of all surgical interventions. The incidence of infectious inflammatory complications after them varies widely and reaches 67 %. The role of adequate functioning of the microcirculation system in wound healing has been repeatedly confirmed by the literature. To interpret the pathology, it is necessary to determine the features of the physiological functional status of the anterior abdominal wall microcirculation. Purpose of the study. Study the features of local blood microcirculation in various areas of the anterior abdominal wall and their age-related changes.

Materials and methods. Two groups of volunteers were examined: 30 young conditionally healthy persons (average age 21±0.7 years) and 30 patients of the Surgical Department of the Semashko Clinical Hospital without pathology of abdominal organs and abdominal wall (average age 62±5,9 years). Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) technique was used on the LAZMA PF device (OOO NPP LAZMA, Russia). Measurements were performed on the skin of the anterior surface of the middle third of the left forearm and in 9 regions of the anterior abdominal wall.

Results. In the first group, the maximum microcirculation index was determined in the suprapubic region – 7.24±1.99 perfusion units (p. u.). A statistically significant difference occurred between the indices of basal blood flow of the upper and lower floors of the abdominal wall with the average (p<0.05). Among elderly patients, the forearm microcirculation index (5.19±0.78 p. u.) was comparable to the values in all areas of the anterior abdominal wall. The values of microcirculation index in nine regions of the anterior abdominal wall did not differ from each other, being in range of 4.25–4.94 p. u.

Conclusion. When planning studies of blood microcirculation in the abdominal wall tissues, the specific anatomical region and age of patients should be taken into account.

Published: January 2025

Introduction. One of the urgent problems of modern obstetrics is gestational arterial hypertension (GAH), which entails a whole range of complications for both mother and fetus. In this regard, it is necessary to search for economically accessible, informative and safe methods for early diagnosis of uteroplacental blood flow disorders in pregnant women.

The aim of the study was to investigate the features of peripheral and uteroplacental blood flow in pregnant women with GAH, to assess the state of the vascular wall of pregnant women using photoplethysmography and to determine its association with uteroplacental blood flow disorders. 

Materials and methods. A total of 78 patients with 22 to 40 weeks of pregnancy, divided into two groups, were clinically examined: the first group (n=42) were pregnant women with GAH, the second group the control group (n=36) consisted of patients with physiological course of gestation. The study included assessment of the objective clinical status of the pregnant woman, recording and contour analysis of photoplethysmograms, ultrasound examination of the uteroplacental and fetoplacental blood flow, and statistical processing of the results.

Results. When comparing the anthropometric characteristics of the studied groups, an increase in BMI was found in the group of pregnant women with GAG (p<0.05). Contour analysis of photoplethysmography (PPG) data showed an increase in the augmentation index in pregnant women with GAG by 73.47 % (p=0.054), an increase in central arterial pressure by 3.6 % (p<0.05). Changes in peripheral hemodynamics in pregnant women with hypertensive disorder were associated with impaired fetoplacental blood flow (rxy = 0.52-0.86, p < 0.05), which was accompanied by lower fetal biometry parameters (p<0.05).

Conclusion. Hemodynamic disturbances in the mother-placenta-fetus system correlate with changes in the parameters of peripheral circulation, which allows us to consider the additional use of the photoplethysmography method as promising in terms of early diagnostics and prevention of perinatal complications in mother and fetus.
Territorial Rivalries in Humanitarian Work and Nursing: Critical Examination of Professional Identities and Delivery of Care
Authors: Jayawickrama Janaka , Lindekens Jordan
Published: January 2025

This article explores the challenges of professional identities and delivery of care in humanitarian work and nursing practices. Using a twofold methodology comprising a literature review and analysis of two case studies – humanitarian responses to the 2004 tsunami in Sri Lanka and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in a hospital setting in the USA – the authors highlight how traditional education may fall short in preparing individuals to be compassionate and effective caregivers. This article suggests that drawing on ideas from ancient philosophies beyond the Euro-North American perspective could help to improve learning. By incorporating values like teamwork, joyfulness, openness, and humility, we might create better strategies for training and avoid conflicts within caring professions such as nursing and humanitarianism.

Negotiating Identity: A Pilot Study on Cultural Identity, Belonging, and College Student Retention
Authors: Phillips Terron
Published: January 2025

Some minority/minoritized college student groups struggle to develop a sense of belonging – a factor in student attrition – at culturally homogenous U.S. colleges and universities. This pilot study tested the reliability and validity of the Cultural Responsivity Index (CRI), a quantitative data collection instrument designed to measure the cultural responsivity of students’ experiences and interactions within collegiate environments. Using the CRI, the researcher explored relationships between students’ self-reported cultural identities, structurally/culturally inflexible collegiate environments, and belonging. The researcher plans to conduct additional future research using the CRI toward further developing recommendations for higher education practitioners serving culturally diverse students.

Published: January 2025

Though many institutions provide robust first-year experience programs to help students adjust to college life, similar programs designed for second-year students are generally limited or nonexistent. As a result, second-year students often face unique stressors and developmental milestones with diminished institutional support. This study describes how a comprehensive second-year program at one university contributes to second-year students’ holistic development: namely, their sense of belonging, perseverance, and self-efficacy. From these results, we provide implications for practitioners.
Gender, Race, and (Un)Ethical Behavior: Perceptions from Within the Federal Bureaucracy
Authors: Bove Francesca M. , Uttermark Matthew J. , Dula Lauren A.
Published: January 2025

How do bureaucrats with doubly underrepresented identities—specifically, women of color—navigate ethics within their workplace? Leveraging an intersectionality framework, we expect that women of color bureaucrats will have lower perceptions of their ethical environment and be more likely to witness unethical behavior versus men of color, white men, and white women employees. Using the Merit Principles Survey, we model gender and race as an interaction finding women of color report higher rates of observing unethical behavior and are more personally affected by the unethical behaviors of their superiors and colleagues. Our findings indicate that recent methodological recommendations to advance our understanding of doubly underrepresented identities provide a more detailed understanding of the barriers women of color face. For practitioners, our findings suggest reevaluating best practices to cultivate an ethical workplace.
Social Media Advocacy for SDG 5 in the Middle East: Insights from Egypt, Tunisia, and Jordan
Authors: El Baradei Laila , Kadry Mohamed , Ahmed Ghadeer
Published: January 2025

This article explores how government organizations in Egypt, Tunisia, and Jordan use Facebook (FB) to advocate for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5). Guided by the Dragonfly Advocacy Model for evaluating social media advocacy and using CrowdTangle for FB content analysis, researchers analyzed advocacy efforts over eight and a half years, nearly midway through the planned implementation timeframe of the SDGs. Findings show that the SDG 5 targets most advocated by all three countries were those for women’s empowerment, eliminating violence, ending child marriage, and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). “Reproductive health,” “technology,” and “unpaid work”’ were among the lowest-mentioned terms. Videos, animation, and influencers were key factors contributing to the effectiveness of FB posts. Gender inequities identified in these Middle Eastern countries, like FGM, honor killings, and inheritance rights, stood in contrast with Western concerns about abortion rights, access to contraception, flexible work arrangements, and digital inclusion.
Sex Work in Public Administration: Creating a Welcoming Environment
Authors: Meyer Seth J.
Published: January 2025

From both a policy and a social service perspective, sex workers interact with and are impacted by public administration. This study asks how public administration can be more supportive of sex workers within public policy and social services. Using qualitative data from a national survey of over 1,100 LGBTQIA+ individuals in the United States, I explore the experiences of sex workers in receiving social services. In this article, I explain how public administration can support sex workers including everything from the regulation of sex work to facilitating a way out of sex work when desired. To better understand the experiences of sex workers, sex work is divided into voluntary and exploitative. These categories allow us to create policies and design social services that meet the specific needs of workers. Both policy and social service recommendations for public administration are provided.

Parallels in the astral myths of the Turks and Finno-Ugrians: on the example of the mythologies of the Milky Way and the Polar Star
Authors: Ilikaev Aleksandr , Sharipov Renart Glyusovich
Published: January 2025

The subject of this article is a comparison of the astral mythology of the Turks and Finno-Ugrians using the example of key mythologems-astronomers of the Milky Way and the Polar Star. The main research method was the analysis of the available ethnographic literature on the astral mythology of the Turks and Finno-Ugric peoples. As we have found out, the eschatological myth of the dog stars (wolves), which are tied with ropes to the Pole Star, is very popular among the Turks. The comparison of the Milky Way with the "road of birds" was known to the Turks and Finno-Ugrians, but, according to experts, it arose mainly among the Uralic peoples. Nevertheless, we assumed that the basis of the myth of the emergence of the "bird's road" as a path of migratory birds most likely originated in the Ural-Volga region. The comparison of the Milky Way with a "ski trail" (or just a trail in the sky) was common among the Finno-Ugrians. It probably went back to the Siberian myth of the heavenly hunt. The likening of the Milky Way to snow, rather, as we see it, has a Turkic origin. In our opinion, the comparison of the Polar Star with the "nail" was preceded by the mythologeme of the "world pillar", celebrated by all Turks and Finno-Ugrians. The original mythologeme of the "world pillar" among the Turks was the idea of a Golden Pillar. In addition, the Turks, as specialized cattle breeders, were characterized by the idea of the Polar Star as a hitching post. The peculiarity of the Finno-Ugric names of the Polar Star is that they can directly relate to a bird sitting on top of a world pillar, or even a star goddess.
Trials against admirals in France under Napoleon I: on the role of the Investigative Council
Authors: Krichevtsev Mikhail Vladimirovich
Published: January 2025

The proposed article examines the little-studied institute of the Investigative Council in France under Napoleon I. It was established as the "Fleet Council" by imperial decree of July 22, 1806, to investigate the behavior of senior naval officers if it aroused suspicion and could be considered criminal. The purpose of the work is to determine the role of the investigative council in the system of investigative bodies and the court of the French Navy during the First Empire. For this purpose, an analysis of the regulatory regulation of the Institute of the Investigative Council and its functioning was carried out using the example of the trials of two admirals of the imperial era – Rear Admiral Dumanoir and Vice Admiral Villare de Joyeuse (1809-1810). The subject of the study is the history of the formation of this institute in the era of Napoleon I. Published primary sources and handwritten materials (photocopies) from archival collections and the National Library of France were used in the work on the topic. When studying the material, methods of concrete historical and comparative analysis were used, and a structural and functional analysis of investigative councils was carried out. The following observations were made during the study. The Investigative Council can be defined both as a pre-trial investigation body and as an indictment body. Unlike the indictment jury, it consisted of appointed officers and conducted the preliminary investigation of the criminal case itself. He also evaluated the evidence gathered and made an accusation, which was submitted to the monarch for consideration. Based on the cases of Dumanoir and Villare de Joyeuse, the council appears as an organ of personal imperial power in France. It was created on the initiative of the monarch, the emperor determined its composition and the place of convocation. The sovereign considered the final conclusions of the investigation on the existence of evidence of a crime and decided to organize a trial of the accused. The use of the institute of the Investigative Council was not carried out in every case. In fact, it was seen as a special favor from the monarch, who allowed for a preliminary investigation of the sufficiency of evidence to bring charges and create some kind of pre-trial guarantees against arbitrariness. However, as the practice of using the institute shows, the council did not always cope with the task of uncompromising investigation.
Evolving the Control-Chaos Continuum: Part 1 – Translating Knowledge to Enhance On-Pitch Rehabilitation
Authors: Taberner Matt , Allen Tom , O’keefe Jason , Chaput Meredith , Grooms Dustin , Cohen Daniel Dylan
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND: On-pitch rehabilitation is a crucial part of returning to sport after injury in elite soccer. The control-chaos continuum ( CCC) initially offered a framework for practitioners to plan on-pitch rehabilitation, focusing on physical preparation and sport specificity. However, our experiences with the CCC, combined with recent research in injury neurophysiology, point to a need for an updated model that integrates practice design and physical-cognitive interactions.

CLINICAL QUESTION: What are the insights from injury neurophysiology, soccer performance, and coaching science needed to update the CCC and improve the planning, delivery, and progression of on-pitch rehabilitation in elite soccer?

KEY RESULTS: Drawing on extensive experience in elite sport, we explain how recent research on neurophysiological recovery from injury, game models, and practice design has been applied to update the CCC and evolve the existing framework.

CLINICAL APPLICATION: The evolution of the CCC expands on the original model to enhance planning, delivery, and progression of on-pitch rehabilitation. The updated framework incorporates elements of visual cognition, attentional challenges, decision-making, and progressive representation of the game model to enhance sport-specific preparation for returning to sport.

Infláció elleni küzdelem a monetáris unión belül és kívül: a Visegrádi négyek esete
Authors: Reiner Martin , Nagy Mohácsi Piroska
Published: January 2025

A világjárvány utáni inflációs hullám világszerte próbára tette a monetáris politikai keretrendszereket, így a négy visegrádi országot is Kelet-Közép-Európában. Tanulmányunk ezt a közelmúltbeli időszakot vizsgálja ezen az egyfajta „természetes kísérleten” átesett, négy – kelet-közép-európai régió szerkezetileg hasonló, de két eltérő monetáris rendszerben működő – ország példáján: Szlovákia a gazdasági és monetáris unió tagjaként, Csehország, Magyarország és Lengyelország pedig önálló monetáris politikát folytató államként ad lehetőséget az összevetésre. Megvizsgáljuk, hogyan alakult e négy ország inflációja a két különböző monetáris rendszerben, és hogyan érinti ez az euro bevezetésével kapcsolatos költség-haszon elemzést azon országok esetében, amelyek még nem tartoznak az euroövezetbe. Megállapításunk szerint az euroövezeti tagság nemcsak rendes gazdasági körülmények között volt előnyös (ahogy a kis méretű, nyitott, integrált gazdaságok monetáris szuverenitásának előnyei fokozatosan eltűntek), de különösen hasznosnak bizonyult válság idején.

Objectives:

The emergence of drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has substantially challenged the goal of eliminating tuberculosis (TB) in the 21st century. Treatment outcomes in patients with multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) are expected to improve with the implementation of the World Health Organization consolidated guidelines for the treatment of MDR-TB. This study aimed to evaluate documented therapeutic outcomes in patients with MDR-TB treated at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:

It was a retrospective study conducted at the MDR-TB unit of the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. Data from case reports of patients with MDR-TB from 2013 to 2022 were extracted using a data collection checklist. Case reports with insufficient or missing information were excluded from the study. Data were summarized using the IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 25 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, USA).

Results:

Fifty case reports of patients with MDR-TB were evaluated. The most frequently prescribed anti-MDRTB drug combination was kanamycin, levofloxacin, pyrazinamide, prothionamide, cycloserine, and Vitamin B6 (n = 17; 34%). Weight gain was documented in 54% (n = 27) of the patients. Adverse events due to anti-MDR-TB medications was reported in 22% (n = 11) of the patients with ototoxicity (45.5%; n = 5) being the most frequently documented. Thirty-four (68%) of the patients were cured; 10 (20%) discontinued treatment; while 12% of the patients died.

Conclusion:

Although majority of the patients with MDR-TB treated at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital were clinically cured, a significant proportion of the patients had poor treatment outcomes.
Pediatric subcutaneous nasal glial heterotopia

Published: January 2025

Background:

Nasal glial heterotopias (NGHs) are benign lesions diagnosed at birth that are treated with complete surgical excision and have a low recurrence rate. The impact of the timing of resection on the patients’ outcome remains unclear.

Case Description:

We report a case of pediatric midline subcutaneous extranasal glial heterotopia over the nasal bridge in a 4-day-old female newborn. At the age of 6 months, she underwent a complete surgical excision. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging at 3 years showed no evidence of recurrence. A summary of the 19 published cases of the specific entity of purely subcutaneous extranasal glial heterotopia among the pediatrics age group in the literature is presented, and the timing of surgery in relation to outcome is discussed.

Conclusion:

Our review revealed that surgery for NGH can be safely performed when the child is 6–12 months old, and the child should be followed probably until school age.

One Health seeks to integrate and balance the health of humans, animals, and environmental systems. These three spheres are intricately interconnected through microbiomes, which are universally present and exchange microbes and genes, influencing not only human and animal health but also key environmental, agricultural, and biotechnological processes. Preventing the emergence of pathogens as well as monitoring and controlling the composition of microbiomes through microbial effectors including virulence factors, toxins, antibiotics, non-ribosomal peptides, and viruses holds transformative potential. However, the mechanisms by which these microbial effectors shape microbiomes and their broader functional consequences in relation to host and ecosystem health remain poorly understood to date. Metaproteomics offers a novel methodological framework as it provides insights into microbial dynamics by quantifying microbial biomass composition, metabolic functions and detecting effectors like viruses, antimicrobial resistance proteins, and non-ribosomal peptides. Here, we document the potential of metaproteomics for elucidating microbial effectors and their impact on microbiomes, and discuss their potential for modulating microbiomes to foster desired functions.
Single-step synthesis of a heterometallic [Cu2PdL4]2+ hybrid metal-organic coordination cage

Traditional methods of assembling low-symmetry heterometallic cage architectures are limited to stepwise construction and combinations of inert and labile metal ions, affording complex, anisotropic cage structures by sacrificing synthetic ease. Herein, a heterometallic [Cu2PdL4]2+ lantern-type cage has been assembled in a single self-assembly step through the use of a heteroditopic ligand with two different metal-binding groups. The resultant cage complex is a fusion of two common lantern-type cage motifs – carboxylate-based metal–organic Cu4L4 cages and pyridyl-based Pd2L4 coordination cages. Evidence for heterometallic cage formation in solution was provided by 1H and DOSY NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) data, while circular dichroism (CD) spectra confirmed the helical nature of the assembly. It is envisioned that the simple design strategy presented herein will ease the assembly of other structurally complex, low-symmetry cage architectures.
An efficient exciton coupling scheme based on simplified time-dependent density functional theory

Published: January 2025

A very efficient and broadly applicable exciton coupling (ExC) approach based on simplified time-dependent density functional theory (sTD-DFT) is presented. Starting from this parent method, non-overlapping fragments and neglect of interfragment charge transfer excitations are assumed to arrive at the ExC procedure. This leads to an ExC Hamiltonian that pro- vides equivalent electronic absorption and circular dichroism spectra as the parent sTD-DFT method for largely separated fragments. The ExC approach easily accelerates the computa- tion of such spectra of molecular aggregates by about two orders of magnitude compared to sTD-DFT. The latter itself is already faster by about 4–5 orders of magnitude compared to regular TD-DFT. We demonstrate the performance of the approach for excitation spectra of organic molecular clusters. Given that the fragment electronic structure in the ExC-sTD- DFT approach is solved independently, computation of spectra for systems with ∼10,000 atoms can be performed within minutes of computation time. Furthermore, the role of electrostatic embedding in the independent fragments is investigated. For the purposes cov- ered in this work, the embedding can be simplified by employing a dielectric continuum, thus, greatly reducing the overall computational complexity. This approach may be used in screening photophysical properties of large molecular aggregates and soft matter materi- als. We present the derivation and implementation for the Tamm-Dancoff-approximated and the random-phase-approximation eigenvalue problems. Benchmarks compared to the parent sTD-DFT methods are shown for absorption and electronic circular dichroism spectra.
