Os campos e os corpos
Authors: Pereti Emerson , Cosentino Gastón
Published: January 2025

Based on questions arising from the anti-colonialist critique, as well as concepts such as atmoterrorism and biopolitics, this article weaves some considerations about the artistic representation of the politics of death undertaken by the accumulative furor of capitalism. Such furor is now expressed, as we have tried to demonstrate, in a new phase, defined here, for lack of another term, as necroliberalism. The works in question are by two Argentine artists: Distancia de regate, by writer Samanta Schweblin, and the photo essay El costo humano de los agrotóxicos, by Pablo Ernesto Piovano. In these works, a new expression of these policies (the indiscriminate use of pesticides) is shown through a monstrous field-body dyad.

Vanadium dioxide VO2 thin films can be applied as electrolytes of electric double-layer transistors or positive electrodes for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries. In order to verify the charging behavior between the Li+ ion conductor LiCoO2 and VO2, we have investigated the electrical conductivity and electronic structure of b-axis oriented VO2 thin films with LiCoO2 buffer layer prepared on Al2O3 (0001) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. The amount of excess oxygen on the surface in the b-axis oriented VO2/LiCoO2 multilayer film was evaluated to be ∼22.5% by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The electrical resistivity of the multilayer film increases with temperatures from 290 to 330 K, and decreases reversibly above 330 K, indicating the Li+ ion conduction. The electron correlation energy, which corresponds to the energy separation between the upper and lower Hubbard bands, of the VO2/LiCoO2 multilayer and VO2 thin film are ∼3.4 eV and ∼2.4 eV, respectively. These results indicate that the carrier number of the VO2 thin film can be controlled by the diffusion of Li+ ions from the LiCoO2 buffer layer.

Libertà desiderio corpo
Authors: Niccolai Silvia
Published: January 2025

Prendendo spunto dall’idea di moralità di I. Murdoch, l’articolo considera due diverse idee di libertà: una secondo la quale la libertà consiste nell’esercizio della scelta, e perciò coinvolge solo la volontà, e una secondo la quale la libertà consiste nella possibilità di arricchire l’esperienza, e coinvolge perciò la nostra capacità simbolica. Alla luce di queste concezioni viene ripercorso il dibattito circa le libertà delle donne sul proprio corpo e discussa la possibilità di adottare, in materia, la categoria dei diritti indisponibili.

Published: January 2025

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and is, therefore, a major public health problem. Among the different types of breast cancer, breast carcinoma in situ occupies a special place because of its pre-invasive nature. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) accounts for 85% to 90% of in situ breast cancers. Their incidence is increasing as a result of widespread screening. Lobular carcinoma in situ remains a rare lesion and is considered to be a cancer risk factor. Diagnosis of this cancer is quite difficult, and treatment is team-dependent, ranging from conservative treatment to mastectomy. The aim of our study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with carcinoma in situ isolated within the gyneco-obstetrics II department in Fez, as well as the therapeutic modalities. 19 patients were included; the mean age of our patients was 56 years, with extremes ranging from 34 to 88 years. The average consultation time was seven months; the mode of discovery was dominated by the discovery of a nodule on a breast self-exam in 13 patients (72%), followed by a pathological nipple discharge in 5 and a combination of two in one patient. The average tumor size was 3 cm, with extremes ranging from 1 cm to 5 cm. Combined screening with mammography and breast ultrasound was carried out in all our patients (100%), supplemented by MRI in 4 patients (high breast density) with a view to conservative treatment. Histology was dominated by ductal carcinoma in 17 patients (92%). The surgical procedure was conservative in 5 patients (28%) and radical in 13 (72%). 3 out of the 5 patients who had undergone conservative surgery underwent revision surgery (mastectomy) due to positive surgical margins (60%). 11 (61%) patients benefited from an axillary procedure essentially by sentinel lymph node biopsy which was negative (100%).

Authors: Moreira Freire Imara , de Souza Minayo Maria Cecília
Published: January 2025

Investigou-se o uso da dança  circular como estratégia para acessar a narrativa de jovens que convivem com o HIV por transmissão vertical e, assim,  compreender suas percepções sobre a própria situação. A hipótese do trabalho foi que essa prática poderia auxiliar esses jovens a lidarem com questões decorrentes do diagnóstico e fortalecer seu bem-estar, favorecer sua autonomia e valorizar seus saberes e experiências. A dança circular é uma prática integrativa expressiva corporal inspirada em culturas de várias partes do mundo, assim como o folclore e as danças contemporâneas são formas de manifestação lúdica e artística. No Brasil, essa atividade faz parte das Práticas Integrativas e Complementares em Saúde (PICS) adotadas pelo Ministério da Saúde, pois oferece um espaço de expressão emocional e criativa que valoriza o cuidado. Metodologicamente utilizou-se a pesquisa-intervenção que  consistiu em oito oficinas com uma hora de duração cada,  estruturadas em atividades de harmonização, execução de danças e rodas de conversa. Do estudo participaram oito adolescentes de 12 a 17 anos, atendidos num ambulatório especializado de um hospital público do Rio de Janeiro. As oficinas de dança e as conversas realizadas antes e após os movimentos foram gravadas e analisadas segundo as relevâncias dadas pelos jovens.  O estudo priorizou os seguintes conceitos-chave: autocuidado, valorização das diferenças e autonomia. A proposta desses conceitos foi construída a partir da interação da pesquisadora com os participantes. O estudo revelou que as oficinas facilitaram a expressão de sentimentos e emoções e propiciaram um  ambiente de apoio mútuo. A partir desta pesquisa, ainda que não se possa generalizar, entende-se que a dança circular tem um potencial para  complementar práticas de saúde importantes como é o caso do tratamento de jovens com HIV de transmissão vertical.

Authors: - Marwen Nadia , - Khalfaoui aymen , - Soui Slah
Published: January 2025

Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain's ventricles and/or subarachnoid space, leading to ventricular enlargement and elevated intracranial pressure.
This anomaly is sometimes detected during a routine fetal scan between 18 and 22 weeks of gestation, although early signs may be visible by the end of the first trimester. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging data play a crucial role in guiding patient counseling and pregnancy management. It is essential to inform the couple about the prognosis of these anomalies to ensure optimal care and decision-making.
We report the case of severe hydrocephalus diagnosed prenatally at 23 weeks of gestation. Through this clinical case, we discuss the ultrasound signs supporting a positive diagnosis of hydrocephalus as well as the management approach.
Physiological and Pathological Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Authors: - Haritha Chatla , - Guddanti Hema , - Gayathri Paturi , - C.K.Gopavarapu , - Raja Shekar Perusomula
Published: January 2025

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) refers to the abnormal thickening of the heart muscle, primarily affecting the left ventricle, and can occur due to both physiological and pathological causes. Physiological hypertrophy is an adaptive, reversible response to increased physical demand, as seen in athletes or pregnancy. It is characterized by proportional thickening of the ventricular walls, increased chamber size, and enhanced cardiac function, without fibrosis or myocyte disarray. This form of hypertrophy is beneficial and reversible when the increased workload is reduced, posing minimal health risks.In contrast, pathological hypertrophy arises due to genetic mutations or chronic conditions such as hypertension and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It often results in asymmetric thickening, particularly of the interventricular septum, and can lead to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO). Pathological hypertrophy is accompanied by fibrosis, myocyte disarray, and impaired diastolic function, which can progress to heart failure, arrhythmias, or sudden cardiac death. Unlike physiological hypertrophy, pathological forms are typically irreversible and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The Physiological hypertrophy enhances cardiac performance and is reversible, pathological hypertrophy leads to adverse outcomes and requires medical intervention. Differentiating between these forms is particularly important in athletes and individuals with a family history of heart disease to prevent potential complications.

Emotion Detection in Speech: A Deep Learning-Driven Approach Leveraging Acoustic Features within Intelligent Computing Systems
Authors: - Sulaxman Kaja , - Vijaya Chandra Jadala
Published: January 2025

As digital image collections grow in size, there is an increasing need for robust image retrieval systems capable of managing large datasets effectively. This work offerings a novel Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system designed to enhance retrieval accuracy across both general and medical image
datasets. The proposed system leverages U-Net for feature extraction, integrated with an improved weight-learning approach to enhance retrieval performance. A Convolutional neural network, U-Net, a network design famous for its picture segmentation ability, is utilized to capture complex, high-level
image features. The approach includes an adaptive, query-aware feature weighting mechanism that applies weight re-scaling to parameterized features, assigning optimized weights to top-ranked images.
This CBIR system comprises three main components: image pre-processing, U-Net-based feature extraction, and feature re-weighting. During pre-processing, images undergo augmentation and normalization to increase model robustness. The feature re-weighting process evaluates feature importance using cosine similarity, which further improves discriminative power at retrieval. The
proposed CBIR system was tested across various image datasets through extensive experiments, with performance measured in terms of recall, precision and F1-score. The results indicate that integrating feature re-weighting with U-Net-based extraction significantly enhances retrieval effectiveness. This
work represents a step forward in developing adaptive image retrieval systems that better respond to diverse retrieval scenarios.

Published: January 2025

The current architecture of ours has been developed with the help of Random Forest, Lasso Regression, XGBoost(Abbr.), and Ridge Regression among other machine literacy techniques. We have predicted fares relatively well considering various factors such as the number of passengers traveling, date, time, pickup and dropoff latitudes, and longitudes, and so on. Each model is trained and estimated with the help of a dataset
consisting of past travel information. Two models were randomly selected to reduce overfitting and enhance conceptualization with regularization techniques like Lasso and Ridge Retrogression. Also, Random Forest and XGBoost(Abbr.), known to handle complicated, nonlinear connections,
were applied. Finally, based on a detailed comparison of performances of these models through evaluation metrics such as RMSE (Abbr.) and R2 score (Abbr.), the best method was chosen that could predict the fare. A multi-model method like this ensures delicacy and rigidity-an essential source of insight into dynamic pricing and optimization of mobility efficiency within public spaces.

Multi-tasking costs in triple-task performance despite dual-task preparation
Authors: Stefani Maximilian , Sauter Marian , Mack Wolfgang
Published: January 2025

This study explores multi-tasking by examining the effects of transitioning from dual-task to triple-task scenarios. Our research extends beyond conventional dual-task paradigms to investigate the impact of triple-task performance on two participant groups: those unprepared in single, dual, or triple tasks (N = 14) and those previously prepared in single and dual tasks (N = 13). The study consisted of a preparation phase with nine sessions and an assessment phase with eight sessions. In the assessment phase, both groups performed single, dual, and triple tasks of varying complexity (simple, medium, and complex). Despite the initial advantage observed in the prepared group, this advantage diminished throughout the sessions. Notably, both groups adopted distinct strategies for processing within the triple task, revealing the influence of task coordination on response times as the task set combinations expanded. The study demonstrates that preparation in the form of pre-training can facilitate applying skills acquired from specific tasks to others, with the formation of specific task pair sets playing a pivotal role in processing and coordination. Despite extensive preparation, the persistence of multi-tasking costs challenges traditional assumptions about eliminating such costs through practice. In conclusion, our research contributes to the current understanding of multi-tasking by highlighting the need for further exploration into inter(sub)task coordination and prioritization in multiple-task scenarios. The study underscores the complexities inherent in managing triple tasks and individuals' potential strategies. The findings suggest that ongoing refinement of cognitive models from dual tasks is necessary to accommodate multi-tasking behaviors in more complex environments.

Authors: Panumonwatee Gitsada , Premprasit Rudklow , Pampasit Savent
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the impact of various agricultural land use practices on CO₂ sequestration and oxygen release in Aranyik Subdistrict, Mueang District, Phitsanulok Province, Thailand. The region, characterized by lowland plains and a network of canals, supports diverse agricultural activities, with rice paddies dominating the landscape. Our analysis revealed significant variability in biomass distribution and carbon sequestration potential across different land use types. Eucalyptus plantations demonstrated the highest CO₂ sequestration and oxygen release rates, highlighting their role in climate change mitigation. However, the ecological implications of such monocultures, including water consumption and soil health, warrant careful consideration. In contrast, other land use types, such as mixed grasslands, lime orchards, and rice fields, exhibited lower sequestration rates but are crucial for maintaining biodiversity and supporting sustainable land management. This study underscores the importance of integrated land use strategies that balance carbon storage with ecological health, providing valuable insights for regional land use policy and climate change mitigation efforts. Further research should explore temporal land use changes and their broader environmental impacts to enhance the sustainability of agricultural practices in the region.
The Spatial Politics of Cogon Market: Exploring how Physical Layout Reinforces Stratification
Authors: Migallon John Mari , Requiz Elpidio , Tamon Florie Jane M.
Published: January 2025

This study explores the relationship between spatial organization and economic stratification among vendors in Cogon Market, Cagayan de Oro City. Employing qualitative research methods, including non-obtrusive observation and in-depth interviews with six participants, the research investigates how the vendors' economic capacities influence their positioning within the market's spatial layers. The findings reveal that while spatial organization does not directly determine stratification, it indirectly affects it through the vendors' pre-established economic situations. Vendors with stronger economic capacities occupy more advantageous positions within the market, offering greater opportunities for upward mobility, whereas those in the outermost layers face challenges influenced by weakened economic statuses, exacerbated by political activities.  These insights highlight the nuanced interplay between spatial dynamics and economic stratification, suggesting that further research into the political influences on the market's spatial and economic structures is warranted.

Background and objectives. Hormonal contraceptives remain one of the most common birth control medications among females in the general population. The use of hormonal contraceptives is believed to be one of the risk factors for meningioma. Research on meningioma has provided substantial evidence regarding the existence of hormone receptors. Our study was designed to clarify whether the expression of hormonal receptors and proliferative index is influenced by the exposure to hormonal contraceptives. Materials and methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted at Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang, Indonesia, from 2018 to 2023. The inclusion criteria encompassed meningioma patients with a history of exposure to hormonal contraceptives. Patient data collection was obtained from medical records and detailed interviews (reproductive status and history of hormonal contraceptive use). Data regarding patients’ characteristics, histology type, and WHO grade tumors were extracted from the patients’ clinical files. Immunohistochemistry studies were performed to evaluate the progesterone receptor expression, estrogen receptor expression, and Ki-67 index. Results. A total of 51 patients were reviewed in our study, with a mean age of 46.88 ± 9.62 years. According to the histopathological classification, 84.3% had WHO grade I, 13.7% had grade II, and 2% had grade III. Ninety-eight percent (98%) of subjects had PR positive with strong staining. Only 3.9% of patients had strong staining in ER expression. For the proliferative index, most patients were in the range of ≤4%. There was no significant difference among the type, duration, and status of hormonal contraceptive use with the expression of hormonal receptors and the Ki-67 index. Conclusions. Our findings suggest that exposure to hormonal contraceptives did not influence the expression of PR, ER, and Ki-67. However, we discovered a trend of higher PR expression in patients with a history of progesterone-only hormonal contraceptives.
Cooperative Governance in Education: Challenges Inhibiting Social Justice Realisation
Authors: Van der Merwe Juané
Published: January 2025

The Constitution calls for past injustices to be corrected and for the establishment of a socially just society. This call is rooted in both the vision of transformative constitutionalis and the government’s constitutional duty to promote sustainable development.3 South Africa’s commitment to establishing a society based on social justice translates into a mandate that is government’s responsibility to implement. As the South African government comprises three distinct, independent, and interrelated spheres (national, provincial, and local),4 as well as organs of state (for purposes of this article, public schools),5 this mandate automatically becomes a shared mandate, which should be carried out within a cooperative framework.

We present the initial results of the Measuring Extinction and Abundances of Dust project, with a focus on the dust extinction features observed in our JWST near- and mid-infrared spectra of nine diffuse Milky Way sightlines (1.2 ≤ A(V) ≤ 2.5). For the first time, we find strong correlations between the 10 μm silicate feature strength and the column densities of Mg, Fe, and O in dust. This is consistent with the well-established theory that Mg- and Fe-rich silicates are responsible for this feature. We obtain an average stoichiometry of the silicate grains in our sample of Mg:Fe:O = 1.1:1:11.2, constraining the grain composition. We find variations in the feature properties, indicating that different sightlines contain different types of silicates. In the average spectrum of our sample, we tentatively detect features around 3.4 and 6.2 μm, which are likely caused by aliphatic and aromatic/olefinic hydrocarbons, respectively. If real, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first detection of hydrocarbons in purely diffuse sightlines with A(V) ≤ 2.5, confirming the presence of these grains in diffuse environments. We detected a 3 μm feature toward HD073882 and tentatively in the sample average, likely caused by water ice (or solid-state water trapped on silicate grains). If confirmed, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first detection of ice in purely diffuse sightlines with A(V) ≤ 2.5, supporting previous findings that these molecules can exist in the diffuse interstellar medium.
Quantum Bayesian Inference with Renormalization for Gravitational Waves

Advancements in gravitational-wave (GW) interferometers, particularly the next generation, are poised to enable the detections of orders of magnitude more GWs from compact binary coalescences. While the surge in detections will profoundly advance GW astronomy and multimessenger astrophysics, it also poses significant computational challenges in parameter estimation. In this work, we introduce a hybrid quantum algorithm qBIRD, which performs quantum Bayesian inference with renormalization and downsampling to infer GW parameters. We validate the algorithm using both simulated and observed GWs from binary black hole mergers on quantum simulators, demonstrating that its accuracy is comparable to classical Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. Currently, our analyses focus on a subset of parameters, including chirp mass and mass ratio, due to the limitations from classical hardware in simulating quantum algorithms. However, qBIRD can accommodate a broader parameter space when the constraints are eliminated with a small-scale quantum computer of sufficient logical qubits.

A study on yeast species from the genera Geotrichum and Magnusiomyces in southwest and central China was conducted based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses using the ITS region and the D1/D2 domain of the LSU rRNA gene. The research identified two new yeast species: Geotrichum hubeiense and Magnusiomyces pitmudophilus. The study contributed to understanding arthroconidial yeast diversity in fermentation and natural environments and paved the way for future taxonomic and ecological studies. Descriptions, illustrations, and phylogenetic analysis results of the two new taxa are provided.

Published: January 2025

The impact of seismic events on populations living in unreinforced adobe masonry buildings, mostly located in rural areas in Mexico and the rest of Latin America, has given rise to research aimed at studying construction and structural aspects in order to guarantee the stability of dwelling and the safety of the people who live there. This study presents the analysis of the dynamic behavior on the earthquake shaking table to contrast the response of adobe models at 1:3 scale without additional reinforcement in walls and roof, and with concrete reinforcement in walls and roof. The tests consider frequency, acceleration, displacement and scale factor according to the similarity laws corresponding to the physical and mechanical properties of the specimen. The results and conclusions show the stability advantages of adobe dwellings with the use of reinforcement based on concrete elements in a seismic event, compared to dwelling without reinforcement.

Virtual reality (VR) represents an innovative and effective tool for reducing pain and anxiety in children undergoing painful procedures in pediatric emergency departments and burn units. VR has the ability to modulate both the sensory and emotional components of pain by immersing children in a virtual world, effectively diverting their attention from the painful experience. Specifically, VR distraction competes for the patient’s attentional resources, reducing their focus on the painful stimulus and, consequently, diminishing the perception of pain. The primary objective of this review was to assess and summarize the current knowledge regarding the use of VR for painful procedures in pediatric emergency and burn units by comparing and analyzing the existing literature. Of the 340 articles reviewed, 25 met the selection criteria and were included in the analysis. These studies examined the use of VR in venous procedures (such as venipuncture, cannulation, and blood sampling) as well as other procedures, including laceration repair and burn wound care. The findings indicated that 20 studies reported a reduction in pain scores, while 9 studies noted a reduction in anxiety scores. Additionally, three studies demonstrated a reduction in procedural time. Overall, the studies supported the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of VR in managing procedural pain and anxiety in pediatric settings. Furthermore, VR use contributed to a reduction in parental and medical stress levels, as well as a decrease in the time spent in the pediatric emergency room. Studies involving larger sample sizes may provide further evidence of VR’s effectiveness across different procedures and age groups.
