Background: The Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population (hereinafter referred to as the Guidelines) provide recommendations for a healthy and sustainable diet.
Objective:To describe the development and validation of the Brazilian Dietary Guidelines Adherence Score (BraScore).
Methods:This work involved multiple methodological steps: defining guiding principles for the development, identifying food components, setting cut-off points for scores, and assessing content validity, construct validity, and reliability. To evaluate construct validity, we used dietary intake data from the 2017-2018 Household Budget Survey. It included: the assessment of the correlation of the BraScore with total energy intake, the evaluation of the BraScore variability and the number of patterns explaining this variability through Principal Component Analysis, the ability to distinguish between population subgroups (gender, age group, income quartiles, and area of residence), and the analysis of the scores for diets developed by nutritionists. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's Alpha.
Results:The BraScore is composed of 10 components divided into three dimensions: to be consumed (legumes; fruits; vegetables; diversity), to be limited (red meat; eggs, fish, milk, and poultry; processed foods; table sugar; table salt), and to be avoided (ultra-processed foods). The BraScore ranges from 0 to 100 points, with higher scores indicating greater adherence to the Guidelines. The analyses showed weak correlation with energy intake (coefficient: -0.13). There was substantial variability among individuals (scores ranged from 28.9 to 86.2 between the 1th and 99th percentiles), with multiple patterns explaining this variability. The score distinguishes population groups (elderly individuals, people with lower income and residents of rural areas tend to have a higher BraScore) and higher scores were found for diets developed by nutritionists (ranging from 84.6 to 97.6 points). Cronbach’s Alpha was 0.53, indicating acceptable reliability.
Conclusions:The BraScore achieved satisfactory performance in assessing adherence to the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population.

Mining activities have as a secondary result the production of residues stored in tailings dumps and ponds which lead to the serious environmental hazards over time. For this reason, it is necessary to install and accelerate the ecological succession on the tailings ponds, their phytostabilization being an ongoing challenge. The aim of this study was to apply an eco-technology already successfully demonstrated on two tailing dams, on a third one with a specific geochemical structure, knowing that each polluted area is a unique entity. A pot-scale experiment was carried out in a growth chamber amending the mining substrate with top soil and green fertilizers, inoculating it with 1% and 2% fungi, and sowing it with Agrostis capillaris alone, or mixed with Melilotus albus. The experimental design consisted of 14 treatments, each with 5 replicates. For the treatment with 2% fungi and sown with a mixture of two plant species, plant biomasses, technosoil respiration, total Kjeldahl nitrogen content and assimilatory pigments recorded statistically significantly higher values, compared to the other treatments. Lipid peroxidation and the content of some toxic elements in plants registered a statistically significant decrease for the same treatment. There was no statistically significant difference in mycorrhizal colonization between 1% and 2% fungi under these particular experimental conditions. This eco-technology could be successfully applied to the surface of the new tailing dam. The novelties are the success of inoculation with both 2% and 1% fungi, which substantially reduces the costs of large-scale phytostabilization using a mixture of two plants.

Promoting tourism services through AI-driven social media marketing: a case for small businesses
Authors: Ostian Zdenek
Published: February 2025

The article examines the role of modern digital tools, namely artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, in promoting tourist services for small businesses on social media. The article highlights some of the problems and shortcomings, faced by entrepreneurs when promoting a tourism product in the digital landscape. Examples are given of how customer experience, reflected in social media, can be useful for increasing the popularity of small businesses and attracting new customers. The importance of active promotion of tourist products through social networks is considered, further emphasized by scientific research by domestic and foreign authors. A hypothesis regarding the importance of using social networks for advertising small businesses with limited budgets is formulated and tested.
The article proposes a new approach to quantitative and qualitative assessment of social media activity for small businesses, which is based on a complex multifactorial indicator consisting of the number of publications in social media, the number of customer reviews and the rating by reviews. The effectiveness of utilizing marketing opportunities in social media to increase the value of services and profitability of small businesses in the tourism industry has been demonstrated based on a paired regression model. The study investigates how self-learning artificial intelligence digital systems can be used to enhance the productivity of small businesses in the tourism industry and which areas of interaction with consumers of a tourism product are of most interest to AI (artificial intelligence) developers. Based on the obtained results, practical recommendations are provided for preparing small business entities in the tourism sector for activity on social media using the opportunities arising from the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.
Natrojarosite formed in the Matanomadh Formation, Kutch, India; a Na analog of jarosite on Mars
Authors: Ray Dwijesh , Das Aditya , Sarkar Subham , Bhattacharya Satadru , Nayak Chandrani
Published: February 2025

We report mineralogy, chemical composition, visible near-infrared (VNIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray near-edge spectroscopy of phyllosilicate-sulfate mineral assemblages including natrojarosite from Matanomadh Formation (Palaeocene) of the Kutch region in Gujarat, India. The unit cell parameters of sulfate minerals and VNIR spectral properties are consistent with natrojarosite and other minerals. The mineralogy and unit cell parameters indicate supergene or hydrothermal alteration condition within the Kutch region. The Fe oxidation record (Fe3+/ total Fe ∼ 0.83) is quantified using Fe K-edge XANES. Additionally, the Fe-S bond length for natrojarosite is determined to be 3.158 Å, and the experimental data fits well with the modeled iron sulfate data curve. The occurrences of natrojarosite and associated natroalunite and kaolinite in the post-Deccan volcanic province are consistent with an oxidizing environment and periodic shift of humid to arid environments that appear to be similar to the early geologic history of Mars. The oxidative alteration of pyrite further enhances the formation of natrojarosite. Our results, in concert with earlier studies, highlight the formation process of natrojarosite and provide insights into detailed mineralogy at the Kutch region and the magnitude of the redox state. The natrojarosite and the associated minerals (including anhydrite and other sulfates) argue for acidic and water-limited conditions analogous to the Noachian-Hesperian epoch of Mars with implications for past weathering processes.

The Person Holding the Phone
Authors: Sánchez-Querubín Natalia
Published: February 2025

In this paper, I present a personal case study centered on my experience of attending my grandfather's funeral virtually in 2023. This event serves as a lens to explore broader themes of mediated grief work and the integration of digital media into experiences of death and mourning. Drawing on Bruno Latour's actor-network theory, I analyze the formation of temporary digital mourning assemblages, examining the ties that connect participants both on the ground and online. A key focus is the role and impact of the human actor within technological and media interfaces. The person operating the phone, capturing images, and managing the technical aspects of a Zoom call is often overshadowed by discussions that prioritize the technology itself.
On Grief At The End Of The World
Authors: Hazelwood Kai
Published: February 2025

Shedding is personal process, an interpersonal practice, and a guide map to societal and structural justice. Guided by the wisdom of creatures who shed their skin, On Grief At The End Of The World is a reflection on a moment of personal apocalypse and a ritual or practice for liberation: A snake doesn’t hesitate when it’s time to shed. She doesn’t try to cling to something uncomfortable but familiar, she doesn’t worry what lies on the other side of shedding, who she’ll be, will others recognize her. She simply sheds because her body knows it is time.
Noticing Grief in the Body
Authors: Barton Camille Sapara
Published: February 2025

In this time of political uncertainty, many of us are striving to create ways of being that will generate more care, compassion and equity in the collective. However, it can be hard to sustain this work when we are weighed down by untended grief. In the West, numbing or distracting ourselves when we feel discomfort or grief is very common. How can we reclaim our ability to be with grief, as part of the rhythm of our lives? I sense that we must re-learn to identify where our bodies are holding grief, to make space to be with it, when this feels supportive for us.
Once we can notice where grief is sitting within our bodies, we can choose how to respond. This is a practice, not a one-time event. Grief is not limited to the death of a loved one; we can grieve the loss of our homelands, the loss of former versions of ourselves or the pain of war and state violence. Untended grief can linger, smothering our creative capacity and ability to vision, until we give it space to be acknowledged. This exercise may support you to touch into grief that might be present in your body. After the practice, you can decide how you want to be in relationship to what arises.
How to Wash a Body
Authors: Bu Shea Staci
Published: February 2025

It is common to learn about natural body care and bathing rituals through end-of-life doula training. At the time of my training in 2020/2021, I hadn’t washed a dead body yet, so I practiced what I was learning on my partner and later described the event in “How to Wash a Body.” The literary examples I’ve come across so far that recount this act of care often describe the uncanny aspects of encountering the loved one’s body becoming corpse. I wanted to emphasize the reverse: the current aliveness of my partner, awareness and forms of preparedness for my/another’s death, and how learning and performing such acts of care like washing a beloved’s body is an integral part of grieving and reconnection in the chain of events following their death.
Listening to the Vultures
Authors: Insignares Catalina
Published: February 2025

Through this text, I will share the path I threaded starting from an individual one-to-one practice of mediation between a person deceased and a person alive, the Landscapes of the Dead, and arriving to a collective performative practice of noisy listening titled To know the vultures so well. This path has led me through intimate in-depth research on the different sensorial and imaginal relations we can establish with the dead. How did I relate to them as invisible entities that accompany the living? How was their apparent absence made present through different bodily practices?
The research was developed in response to the apparently “disenchanted” western context where I have been residing for almost 20 years, in which death is something that needs to be dealt with as quickly and as silently as possible. Certain places in the world get to forget about the killings that sustain their lives, because they have been made to forget that they too will die. Within my practice, loss is acting as an amplifier of connections with the world. Seeing death as part of life does not stop the grieving and the mourning, it does not dissolve the fear of death, but it does mean that we can inhabit the affective places made of the discomfort of loss and the discomfort of not knowing.
Genocide, Philosophical Fetishism, Mourning, and Testimony
Authors: Rooney Caroline
Published: February 2025

This article engages with Conrad’s Heart of Darkness in order to explore how Conrad’s novella arguably associates the dynamics of Hegelian dialectical appropriation with the enactments of genocidal usurpation. It proposes that philosophical fetishism entails a twofold movement of the internalisation of the other and the intended eradication of the other’s external existence. It demonstrates how this ploy manifests itself in settler colonial contexts from the Congo to Palestine. Treating Conrad’s text as a form of theatrical testimony, it distinguishes this theatricality from the literalising performativity of genocide.
Market efficiency and tax incentive policies during the COVID-19 pandemic: Case of Indonesia
Authors: Swandari Budiarso Novi , Pontoh Winston
Published: February 2025

From an accounting perspective, taxes reduce profits and are often perceived as diminishing shareholders’ rights. Consequently, government support through tax reductions plays a crucial role in enhancing the effectiveness of corporate strategies aimed at minimizing tax burdens. From the perspective of the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), government tax incentive policies serve as vital signals to investors, shaping their expectations and influencing investment decisions. This study focuses on Indonesia’s tax incentive policy introduced at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic on April 1, 2020, and continuing until September 30, 2023. To assess market efficiency during this period, portfolios were constructed from the top 21 firms listed on the IDX Quality 30 and IDX High Dividend 20 indices, categorized by their systematic risk and cost of equity. The findings indicate that portfolios with higher systematic risk and cost of equity exhibit more optimal returns, greater volatility, and better risk-return trade-offs. Conversely, portfolios with lower systematic risk and cost of equity tend to yield suboptimal returns due to their passive investment characteristics. Overall, the returns from all portfolios during the tax incentive period align with the weak form of the EMH, albeit showing negative autocorrelation instead of a purely random walk pattern. These findings imply that information regarding tax incentives influences prices primarily among firms with higher cost of equity or systematic risk. This study contributes to the understanding of the EMH by examining the impact of tax incentives during the pandemic while controlling for both the cost of equity and systematic risk.
New insights into the production of volatile fatty acids through low-temperature anaerobic fermentation of sludge enhanced by peracetic acid
Authors: Kuang Yan , Chen Yan , Wei Yan , Zhao Jianwei
Published: February 2025

The production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) through anaerobic fermentation is a significant strategy for the resource utilization of excess sludge (ES). However, the limitations of low temperatures and slow ES hydrolysis rates have resulted in less than optimal volatile fatty acid (VFA) accumulation. This study reports a new method for improving ES low-temperature anaerobic fermentation for VFA production using peracetic acid (PAA) pretreatment and elucidates the underlying mechanisms. The results showed that at 10 °C, PAA significantly enhanced the release of organic matter during ES anaerobic fermentation, increasing the soluble chemical oxygen demand concentration in the fermentation liquid, thereby creating conditions for subsequent acidification processes and VFAs accumulation. When the PAA dosage was 9%, the production of VFAs reached approximately 239.5 mg COD/g volatile suspended solids (VSS), which was 1.47 times that of the control group. Mechanistic analysis revealed that PAA improved sludge hydrolysis and acidification under low-temperature conditions but inhibited VFAs consumption, increased the activity of enzymes related to the hydrolysis and acidification processes, and suppressed the activity of F420, thereby enhancing VFA accumulation. The findings provide an alternative solution for the low-temperature biological resource utilization of ES.

Wickerhamomyces anomalus is a yeast-producing mycocins and has antimicrobial action. Escherichia coli is the predominant bacterium of the coliforms group; its presence in water indicates fecal contamination, being used as an indicator of microbiological analyses. The immobilization of cells and substances demonstrates great potential for biotechnological applications. This work aimed to assess the activity of free and immobilized mycocins, obtained from W. anomalus, against E. coli strains and fecal coliforms. The mycocins were immobilized in different concentrations of sodium alginate and calcium chloride and tested to verify the antimicrobial activity against the E. coli strain and fecal coliforms present in water samples. The mycocins were able to inhibit all strains used in broth microdilution. Considering the problem of multidrug-resistant antibiotic strains and the need for new alternatives to improve the quality of water and sewage effluents, these results demonstrate a possible application as an alternative to an antimicrobial agent.

Integrating Telemonitoring in COPD Exacerbations Care: A Multinational Study Using the Alsayed System for Applied Medical-Care Improvement (ASAMI) Database
Authors: Alsayed Ahmad R. , Alsayed Yazan
Published: February 2025

This study was designed to investigate the ability of telemonitoring involving a secure electronic database called “Alsayed System for Applied Medical-Care Improvement” (ASAMI) to detect at least 95% of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). This prospective observational study, which took place over 16 months in 2022-2023, was based at a medical center in Jordan. The study group participants were patients with COPD (from seven countries) with mixed levels of airflow limitation severity, and every participant was followed for six months. A customized, password-protected version of ASAMI was used to collect data during the study. The implemented diary included questions on daily symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, sputum, and daily physical activities. The detection of AECOPD events was initially based on daily questionnaires completed by patients, followed by the assessment of a healthcare practitioner. Eighty-seven participants were monitored for AECOPD. During the study, 78/87 (89.7%) patients presented with one or more exacerbation episodes. The mean (range) age was 59.7 (45-81) years, predominantly male (66%), with moderate airflow limitation (n = 42, 48%). Compliance with the provision of daily symptom data was very high, 98% over the entire study period. A total of 189 confirmed AECOPD episodes were reported. Almost all patients and practitioners showed favorable satisfaction with the role of the ASAMI-related service (96% reported a score of 10 satisfaction). The telemonitoring tool was able to detect 99% of AECOPD episodes. The novel ASAMI software was effective as a telemonitoring tool to detect the episodes of AECOPD. The tool was suggested for daily, continuous reporting of respiratory symptoms, with the key benefits being ease of use, patient acceptance, and collation of supplementary data when exacerbations occur. The effects of its widespread use on decision-making can be clarified by evaluating its impact on routine clinical decision-making.

BACKGROUND

Adolescence is a critical period for stress vulnerability, with high levels of stress linked to anxiety, depression, ADHD, and sleep problems. While digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) are increasingly used to support adolescent mental health, little is known about their effectiveness in managing stress. Measurement-based collaborative care models (CoCM) in DMHIs may provide a structured approach to addressing adolescent stress, but research on their impact remains limited.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of a CoCM DMHI in managing stress among adolescents. We aimed to (1) quantify self-reported stress levels and identify factors associated with elevated stress, (2) assess changes in stress during care, and (3) explore key factors influencing stress reduction.

METHODS

Adolescents (ages 13-17 years) who receive coaching and therapy through a CoCM DMHI (Bend Health Inc.) completed mental health assessments at enrollment and monthly throughout care. Associations between stress levels and demographic factors, co-occurring mental health symptoms, and caregiver well-being were used to identify predictors of stress, and mixed-effects models were used to assess changes in stress during care.

RESULTS

At enrollment, 91.5% of adolescents reported elevated stress. Higher stress levels were associated with co-occurring mental health and sleep problems, as well as female sex (P’s<0.05). Caregiver stress (t2152=3.90, P<.001) and sleep problems (t2152=3.82, P<.001) were linked to adolescent stress, but caregiver burnout was not (t2152=1.02, P=.31). During care, 80.9% of adolescents experienced stress reductions, with improvements emerging after one month. In adolescents with a caregiver reporting co-occurring stress at enrollment, non-elevated caregiver stress during care was associated with larger improvements in adolescent stress (t248.73=-2.27, P=.024). Adolescents with elevated anxiety showed larger stress reductions compared to those with non-elevated anxiety (t3369=-2.77, P=.006).

CONCLUSIONS

Stress levels were closely linked to co-occurring mental health symptoms and caregiver stress and sleep problems. A CoCM DMHI was effective in reducing adolescent stress, with reductions in caregiver stress and co-occurring elevated anxiety associated with larger improvements, demonstrating its potential for broader stress management. These findings underscore the need for DMHIs to incorporate family-centered approaches, and future research should explore ways to optimize DMHIs for long-term stress reduction and assess their impact on broader mental health outcomes.

BACKGROUND

Although the integration of self-monitored patient data into mental health care offers potential for advancing personalised approaches, its application in clinical practice remains largely underexplored. Capturing individuals' mental health outside the therapy room using Experience Sampling Methods (ESM) may bridge this gap by supporting shared decision-making and personalised interventions.

OBJECTIVE

This qualitative study investigated the perspectives of German mental health professionals regarding prototypes of ESM data visualisations designed for integration into a digital mental health tool.

METHODS

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with clinicians on their perceptions of such visualisations in routine care.

RESULTS

Using reflexive thematic analysis, three key findings were: (1) visualisations were seen as valuable tools for enhancing patient motivation and engagement; (2) simplicity and clarity of visual formats were crucial for usability; and (3) practical concerns, such as integration into clinical workflows, influenced perceived utility. Challenges, including the risk of cognitive overload, were also highlighted.

CONCLUSIONS

These findings underline the importance of designing digital tools that align with clinical needs while addressing potential barriers to implementation by exploring the opportunities and challenges associated with ESM visualisations.
Reservoir Damage Characteristics and Protective Measures under the Coupling Effect of Temperature and Pressure
Authors: Xu Zhihui
Published: February 2025

In the exploitation of oil and gas fields, the coupling effect of temperature and pressure on the reservoir brings many problems. Temperature rise changes rock properties and accelerates reservoir damage. Reservoir damage includes physical, chemical and biological aspects, including permeability decrease, pore structure deterioration, rock fracture and fracture expansion. Preventive measures such as optimization of completion fluid system, temperature control and pressure management, as well as chemical, physical and microbial remediation are proposed to provide technical support for reservoir damage prevention and control, which is of great significance for improving oil and gas production efficiency and ensuring energy supply.
¿Cómo reacciona el electorado mexicano frente a las candidaturas paritarias?
Authors: Konzevik Makowski Natasha , Castro Cornejo Rodrigo
Published: February 2025

En este estudio examinamos la relación entre las actitudes sexistas del electorado mexicano y su comportamiento electoral. Con base en los datos del Estudio Nacional Electoral de México (ENEM) 2021 y 2024, encontramos que los votantes con altos niveles de sexismo hostil tienen menos probabilidad de participar en las elecciones de gubernaturas de 2021 (Tlaxcala y Zacatecas), en las cuales contendieron una mayoría de mujeres candidatas en la boleta electoral. En tanto que los votantes con altos niveles de sexismo benevolente registraron menor probabilidad de participar en la elección presidencial de 2024, en la cual dos candidatas mujeres compitieron por las dos principales coaliciones en México. Estos resultados muestran que sí se puede registrar entre ciertos votantes una reacción negativa en contra de la creciente participación política de la mujer. Este “backlash” se registra, por un lado, entre quienes expresan una preferencia para preservar la dominación de los hombres sobre las mujeres (sexismo hostil) y quienes prefieren que las mujeres sigan ejerciendo roles tradicionales en la sociedad (sexismo benevolente). Más que votar por candidatos varones, su probabilidad de participar en las elecciones tiende a disminuir.
La transformación mediática en México, 2006-2024: patrones de información, discusión política y fragmentación del electorado
Authors: Moreno Alejandro , Uribe Coughlan Alexandra
Published: February 2025

Con base a los datos de las encuestas nacionales en México del estudio CNEP (Comparative National Election Project), realizadas después de las elecciones presidenciales de 2006, 2012, 2018 y 2024, en este artículo documentamos el cambio en los patrones de consumo de medios durante las campañas por parte del electorado mexicano y analizamos cómo este cambio ha impactado en los niveles de conocimiento político, de discusión sobre asuntos políticos, y en el acuerdo con el ambiente o nicho mediático que los distintos segmentos del electorado suelen seguir. Estos tres aspectos representan maneras de aproximarnos a tres rasgos de la ciudadanía democrática que tienen que ver con sus niveles de información, sus prácticas deliberativas, y sus posibles grados de polarización política enraizada en la fragmentación informativa. Entre nuestros hallazgos principales destacan esperables como las diferencias de edad y escolaridad en el consumo diferenciado de medios de comunicación tradicionales y nuevos, pero también se subrayan otros resultados cuya confirmación ha sido o un poco más elusiva o menos contundente, como la existencia de cámaras de eco entre el electorado mexicano, principalmente entre los segmentos más partidistas y extremistas del espectro político ideológico.
