Published: December 2024

This study investigates microplastic contamination in whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) cultivation systems, focusing on water, feed, and shrimp health. Microplastics, which pose significant threats to aquaculture, are often ingested by shrimp, potentially causing physiological damage and reducing product quality. The research was conducted from June to September 2024 at PT—X in North Lombok Regency. Samples of water, shrimp organs (intestines, stomach, and gills), and feed (pellets and crumbles) were analyzed for microplastic contamination. Results revealed a high presence of microplastic fragments in both shrimp and feed, with a significant reduction in microplastic particles after water filtration treatment. Specifically, the water reservoir contained 71 microplastic particles before treatment, with fragments being the most prevalent, and decreased to 8 particles post-treatment. The pelleted feed showed 102 microplastic particles, with fragments comprising 90 of them. Similarly, crumble feed contained 49 microplastic particles, predominantly fragments. The findings emphasize the significant role of microplastic pollution from the surrounding environment and the feed production process in shrimp farming. This study provides essential insights into the sources and impact of microplastics on shrimp health and the quality of aquaculture products, advocating for improved management practices and environmental awareness to mitigate contamination risks.

Introdução: A dor no trabalho de parto varia significativamente entre as mulheres, influenciada por fatores
fisiológicos, emocionais e culturais. No Brasil, o sistema obstétrico é amplamente medicalizado, o que tem levado a
desfechos desfavoráveis para mães e bebês. Embora o alívio da dor tradicionalmente se concentre em intervenções
farmacológicas, como a anestesia epidural, que apesar de eficaz, apresenta riscos, o interesse por técnicas não
farmacológicas tem crescido. Essas técnicas buscam proporcionar um parto mais natural e humanizado, alinhando-se
às diretrizes de humanização da assistência obstétrica no Brasil. Objetivo: Analisar o manejo da dor e os fatores de
risco associados ao uso abusivo de medicações sem controle durante o trabalho de parto, além de explorar técnicas
terapêuticas não farmacológicas. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura, com artigos indexados
na BVS. A pergunta norteadora foi: “Quais abordagens não farmacológicas auxiliam no trabalho de parto?”.
Resultados: Foram selecionados e analisados seis artigos científicos, que demonstraram a eficácia de técnicas não
farmacológicas, como massagem, hidroterapia, bola suíça, exercícios respiratórios, acupuntura, musicoterapia e
aromaterapia, no alívio da dor durante o trabalho de parto. Essas técnicas atuam inibindo os estímulos dolorosos no
sistema nervoso central e promovendo relaxamento. Também contribuem para reduzir a ansiedade e o medo,
proporcionando maior controle e segurança para as mulheres durante o parto. Conclusão: As técnicas não
farmacológicas são eficazes na redução da dor e da ansiedade, além de contribuírem para um trabalho de parto mais
curto e humanizado. Contudo, a falta de capacitação dos profissionais de saúde ainda dificulta sua ampla adoção. É
necessário investir em treinamentos para promover a aplicação dessas práticas

Introdução: A toxoplasmose é uma infecção causada pelo Toxoplasma gondii, cujas principais vias de transmissão
incluem a via fecal-oral, transplacentária e o consumo de carne mal cozida. Objetivo: Analisar as implicações da
toxoplasmose congênita e as estratégias de prevenção adotadas. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa
da literatura, abrangendo estudos entre 2014 e 2024, utilizando as seguintes bases de dados: Biblioteca Virtual em
Saúde (BVS) e LILACS. Resultados e discussão: Foram incluídos 08 artigos para a presente revisão, os quais se
enquadraram nos critérios abordados. Destacou-se a importância da triagem sorológica precoce no pré-natal,
especialmente em áreas com saneamento básico inadequado. A infecção durante o terceiro trimestre tem maior
probabilidade de transmissão, mas infecções precoces acarretam mais danos ao feto. Estudos evidenciam a
necessidade de estratégias de controle mais eficazes, com foco em educação em saúde e melhoria das condições
sanitárias. A prevenção da toxoplasmose congênita depende tanto do diagnóstico precoce quanto de medidas
preventivas. Conclusão: O estudo reforça a importância da triagem e acompanhamento pré-natal para controlar a
toxoplasmose congênita, destacando a falta de políticas e conscientização. Sugere que mais pesquisas são necessárias
para entender fatores socioeconômicos e geográficos e melhorar estratégias preventivas.

A qualitative group discussion with eight students aged 20–24, analyzed through Mayring's content analysis, reveals that while e-learning platforms offer flexibility and accessibility, they also present challenges such as distraction and the need for self-discipline. The findings highlight that optimal learning outcomes require structured e-learning strategies tailored to individual needs and emphasize the hybrid model as a promising approach for future education.
Political Effects of Socio-Demographic Transformations in the USA
Authors: Sokolshchik L. M.
Published: December 2024

The article examines the effects of the socio-demographic transformations of the United States in 2020—2024 in the context of political polarization. Drawing on the approaches of political demography, the authors focus their attention on ethno-racial, age, territorial-demographic and socioeconomic aspects of these transformations. According to their hypothesis, the processes taking place in these spheres contribute to the increasing fragmentation of American society, which is also reflected in political polarization.

Based on an extensive body of statistical data, the authors question the thesis of harmonization of the American political landscape under the influence of the growth of “new” (Latin American / Hispanic, Asians, multiracial groups) and “old” (black) minorities in the total population. It is demonstrated that this circumstances, coupled with the main trend of the white population decline, create conditions for the growth of the influence of right-wing populism, one of the exponents of which is D.Trump.

The authors conclude that the increasing fragmentation of American society and the growing contradictions even within relatively homogeneous groups are likely to lead, in addition to traditional (white — minority) conflicts, to the emergence of new conflicts, including within ethno-racial groups. This in turn will entail a serious impact on the reformatting of the social base of the Republican and Democratic Parties, which will be accompanied by an increase in polarization processes.

Authors: Arhin Emmanuel  , Amakpa Yao Eric  , Manu Abubakar  , Bright Kwaku Anyomi
Published: December 2024

Adolescent health studies in Ghana’s Volta Region have often focused on topics such as family planning, teenage pregnancy, and unsafe abortions. However, limited empirical evidence exists regarding the psychosocial challenges faced by pregnant adolescents. This study explores the psychological and social difficulties impacting pregnant adolescents in the Ho Municipality, to inform policies and psychosocial interventions to support this vulnerable group. Using a narrative and phenomenological approach, this facility-based qualitative study gathered insights from pregnant adolescents aged 10-19 through in-depth interviews at the Volta Regional and Ho Municipal Hospitals. Participants were selected through purposive sampling and provided accounts of their experiences, challenges, and the factors contributing to their pregnancies. Thematic analysis revealed significant psychological challenges such as hopelessness, anxiety, sadness, isolation, and sleep disturbances. These issues were often driven by family rejection, partner denial, stigmatization, and discrimination. Poverty emerged as the primary contributor to adolescent pregnancy, alongside factors such as single parenting, lack of contraceptive access, limited sexual education, peer pressure, cultural influences, and media portrayals of sexual behaviour.
The study highlights a need for multifaceted strategies at both structural and individual levels to address adolescent pregnancy and its associated psychosocial challenges in the Ho Municipality. The study recommended implementing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education in schools, communities, and families to better support adolescents in managing and preventing pregnancy.

D. Manuel I: Cartografia de um Reinado
Authors:   Grupo Amigos de Lisboa
Published: December 2024

O livro D. Manuel I: cartografia de um reinadosurge na sequência docolóquio, com o mesmo título, organizado pelo Grupo Amigos deLisboa (GAL), apoiado pela Câmara Municipal de Lisboa, que decor-reu nos dias 11 e 12 de novembro de 2021, no Fórum Roma.Na génese deste encontro científico esteve a vontade do GAL em associar-se às diversas manifestações culturais que foram decorrendo durante esse ano e, assim, assinalar também a efeméride da passagem dos 500 anos sobre a morte de D. Manuel I (1469-1521). Este colóquio teve por objetivo primordial o reconhecimento do carácter central da atuação deste monarca, no que concerne à epopeia marítima portuguesa, desde finais do século XV até à sua morte, em 1521, e as implicações internas e externas que o desenvolvimento das amplas relações diplomáticas, comerciais e culturais promoveram. Portugal, à época do reinado de D. Manuel, afirmou-se como um dos países estrategicamente mais relevantes no âmbito da geopolítica do século XVI, o que também permitiu ao monarca avançar comum relevante conjunto de reformas administrativas, urbanísticas e culturais, cujo impacto se reproduziu igualmente na arquitetura e demais artes, dando origem inclusive à denominação de Manuelino às obras arquitetónicas do seu reinado, inspirado nos Descobrimentos e no encontro de culturas com outros povos e civilizações, mormente em elementos naturalistas e “vegetalistas”, e nos símbolos da Coroa, como a esfera armilar e a cruz da Ordem de Cristo.

Violenza di genere tra le mura domestiche: Repubblica Popolare Cinese e Taiwan
Authors: D’Attoma Sara
Published: December 2024

The phenomenon of gender-based domestic violence in both the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan has its roots in the traditional, highly hierarchical Confucian culture, which for centuries has subordinated women to male figures. Marriage equality, which was introduced simultaneously into the laws of the Nationalist Party and the Chinese Communist Party in the 1930s, has not been able to curb a phenomenon that has long been unable to cross the threshold of the home. Only recently has the legislature intervened with ad hoc laws to curb domestic violence. In the PRC and Taiwan, the timing was different, dictated by social conditions that influenced the need to send a signal of protection to victims, but there are still some critical issues in the laws and regulations. In Taiwan, the Domestic Violence Prevention Act dates back to 1998, while in mainland China, the first such law was enacted in 2016. This article aims to analyse the main differences and similarities that emerge from both the socio-cultural aspects and the legal texts, looking at the definitions of ‘domestic violence’ and the institution of domestic violence protection orders in both legal systems.

Authors: Ramirez Hazel Joyce Mercado
Published: December 2024

Chemistry laboratory activities cultivate scientific inquiry that enable students to experience and discover scientific processes and occurrences. Likewise, research examining the synergy of online and face-to-face modalities in the context of post-pandemic education is still in its formative years. Drawing from this premise, this study aimed to analyse the insights and experiences of senior high school students in chemistry laboratory classes in a blended learning environment. This research utilized a case study approach that involved fifteen (15) Grade 12 STEM students. Data sources included responses to survey questionnaire and semi-structured interviews which elicited students’ insights and experiences on chemistry classes in blended learning setting. Thematic analysis revealed several themes such as social interaction, affective domain, lesson understanding, and course design and resources that encapsulated the benefits, challenges, and suggestions for improvement of a blended learning environment. Particularly, designing chemistry laboratory classes in a blended learning set-up should capitalize on the learners’ context, hence, a framework illustrating the considerations in redesigning chemistry classes is also crafted based on student’s experiences and recommendations. These findings shed light on the redesigning of both the online and face-to-face components of blended learning into a seamless learning environment that optimizes science learning amid the transition in the educational landscape.

Authors: Küçükkambak Selçuk Efe , Golcheshmeh Süheyla , Yüksel Çakır Fatma
Published: December 2024

This research examines the effects of the global economic crisis that emerged in the post-COVID-19 period and the perceived risks related to the destination or places of accommodation on individuals' intention to go on holiday. The research based on the Theory of Planned Behavior analyzed data collected from 576 people (Female N = 382, Male N = 194). Research results have shown that the economic crisis in the post-pandemic period directly affects the intention to take a holiday as much as the destination and accommodation risks and that the adaptation of the Pandemic Anxiety Travel Scale is valid and reliable. The research aims to expand the Theory of Planned Behavior from a different perspective, considering the traces of the economic crisis and concrete risk perceptions in the post-pandemic period.
THE IMPACT OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE ON BANK PERFORMANCE IN TURKIYE
Authors: Tomak Serpil
Published: December 2024

The aim of this study is to examine the impact of capital structure on Turkish banking performance by using panel regression model for the period between 2012 and 2023. The ratio of return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) are used as a dependent variable which are one of the important indicators of the banking performance. There are 9 bank-spesific and 2 macroeconomic (inflation and economic growth) independent variables in the analysis. Panel data analysis results reveal that the capital structure [Debt ratio (DTA) and Debt to equity ratio (DTE)] negatively impacts business performance (ROA) of Turkish private deposit banks. The financial performance, which is measured by ROA, is significantly and negatively associated with variables such as Non-Performing loan ratio (NPL), credit risk (CIR) and cost management (OA), whereas effect of bank size (BS), economic growt (GDP) and inflation (INF) have positive impact. On the other hand, the effects of DTA, DTE, BS, NPL, CIR, OA and GDP on ROE are significant. Besides, the effects of DTA, BS and GDP are positive, whereas the effect of DTE, NPL, CIR and OA are negative. The study concludes that the capital structure proxies have impact on financial performance of Turkish private deposit banks measured both by return on assets and return on equity.

Published: December 2024

Background. Fingered citron is one of the important plants attracting attention with its important bioactive components. The aim of the study was to evaluate the potential for use of fingered citron leaves in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
Materials and Methods. The antimicrobial activity of fingered citron leaf ethanol extract was determined by disc diffusion and micro-dilution methods against clinical pathogens. Furthermore, fingered citron leaf ethanol extract sun protection factor (SPF) was spectrophotometrically evaluated.
Results and Discussion. The inhibition zone diameters obtained as a result of the disc diffusion method were 9.16 mm against Candida albicans ATCC 10231 and 9.63 mm against C. glabrata RSKK 04019. Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 was inhibited by fingered citron leaf ethanol extract with 7.76 mm of inhibition zone. Minimal inhibition (MIC) and bactericidal or fungicidal (MBC or MFC) concentrations values varied between 2.5 and 40 mg/mL. Additionally, the biological activity of the cream formulation obtained with cream, probiotic strain Limosilactobacillus fermentum MA-7 and fingered citron leaf extract was evaluated using the well diffusion method. The inhibition zone diameters of cream, L. fermentum MA-7, and fingered citron leaf extract cream group against C. albicans ATCC 10231, C. glabrata RSKK 04019 and S. aureus ATCC 25923 were determined as 2.73 mm, 4.37 mm, and 5.21 mm, respectively. Furthermore, the SPF value of fingered citron leaf ethanol extract was determined as 25.82. Then, fingered citron leaf ethanol extract-cream mixtures were prepared at various concentrations. It was determined that the SPF values of the extract and cream mixtures were higher at all concentrations compared to the commercial cream (control). The highest SPF value was determined as 6.7 at 10 mL concentration.
Conclusion. The results indicated that fingered citron leaf ethanol extract can be a valuable resource for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries in the development of natural origin and effective products.

Celebrity worship is excessive idolization behavior, this behavior occurs a lot in adolescents and will decline in adulthood but some studies have found that Celebrity worship still occurs in early adulthood. This study aims to determine the relationship between loneliness and celebrity worship in early adult female K-pop fans. This study used quantitative research methods involving 100 adult female K-pop fans. The research technique used in sampling used accidental sampling. The measuring instrument in this study used a 25-item loneliness scale and a 20-item celebrity worship scale. The results of the analysis show that the hypothesis is rejected and there is a significant negative relationship between loneliness and Celebrity worship in adult female K-pop fans. In conclusion, loneliness and celebrity worship are not related, which means that if individuals have a low level of loneliness, the tendency for celebrity worship behavior is high. Vice versa, the higher the level of individual loneliness, the lower the tendency of celebrity worship behavior.
 
Celebrity worship adalah perilaku pengidolaan yang berlebihan, perilaku tersebut banyak terjadi pada remaja dan akan menurun pada usia dewasa namun beberapa penelitian ditemukan bahwa Celebrity worship masih terjadi pada masa dewasa awal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kesepian dengan celebrity worship pada perempuan dewasa awal penggemar K-pop. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kuantitatif dengan melibatkan 100 orang perempuan dewasa penggemar K-pop. Teknik penelitian yang digunakan dalam pengambilan sampel menggunakan accidental sampling. Alat ukur dalam penelitian ini menggunakan skala kesepian sebanyak 25 aitem dan skala celebrity worship sebanyak 20 aitem. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa hipotesis ditolak dan terdapat hubungan negatif siginifikan antara kesepian dengan Celebrity worship pada perempuan dewasa penggemar K-pop. Kesimpulannya kesepian dan celebrity worship tidak berhubungan yang dapat diartikan apabila individu memiliki tingkat kesepian yang rendah maka kecenderungan perilaku celebrity worship tinggi. Begitu pula sebaliknya, semakin tinggi tingkat kesepian individu maka semakin rendah kecenderungan perilaku celebrity worship.

No Nordeste do Brasil o feijão (Vigna unguiculata) está presente como alimento essencial na dieta de sua população, tornando-se o prato básico das classes de menor poder aquisitivo, e a fertirrigação surge como uma opção promissora devido à sua alta eficiência no uso da água e energia. O objetivo deste experimento foi voltado para análise do desempenho do feijão-caupi submetida a diferentes condições de parcelamentos de nutrientes via fertirrigação que possibilitem a melhoria da compreensão da resposta da cultura e a definição de sua exigência hídrica e nutricional.  O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação do Campus de Engenharias e Ciências Agrárias da Universidade Federal de Alagoas. O delineamento estatístico utilizado com esquema fatorial de 3x2, com 4 repetições. Para avaliar o crescimento e a produção foram realizadas coletas dos dados altura da planta e número de folhas, de forma periódica nas seguintes épocas 15, 30, 45, 60 e 75 dias após o plantio, número de vagens por planta, peso de vagens por planta, peso de grãos por vagens, massa fresca da parte aérea e massa seca da parte aérea foram avaliadas aos 75 dias após o plantio.  O parcelamento de doses de nitrogênio no seu ciclo de desenvolvimento mostrou-se eficiente na estratégia de maximizar a utilização de nitrogênio através da aplicação via fertirrigação. A dose de 30 kg ha-1 apresentou maior efeito no número de folhas aos 30 dias após o plantio.
Reconceptualizing the Relationship between Anxiety, Mindfulness, and Cognitive Control
Authors: Gupta Resh , Heller Wendy , Braver Todd Samuel
Published: December 2024

Prior research has provided initial support for the claim that cognitive control mediates the relationship between anxiety and mindfulness; however, findings are often inconsistent. In this review, we argue that the inconsistency may be due to a lack of both conceptual and methodological precision in terms of how anxiety, cognitive control, and mindfulness are operationalized and assessed, and that this imprecision may be a critical source of study confounds and ambiguous outcomes. We unpack this argument by first decomposing anxiety, cognitive control, mindfulness, and relevant experimental paradigms into key dimensions in order to develop a non-unitary, multi-dimensional taxonomy of these constructs. Subsequently, we review and reinterpret the prior experimental literature, focusing on studies that examine the relationship between anxiety and cognitive control, mindfulness and cognitive control, and the three-way relationship between anxiety, mindfulness, and cognitive control. Across the reviewed studies, there was great variation in the dimensions being examined and the behavioral and/or neural measures employed; therefore, results were often mixed. Based on this review of literature, we propose a conceptually and methodologically precise framework from which to study the effects of mindfulness on cognitive control in anxiety. The framework theoretically aligns anxiety dimensions with specific mindfulness states and interventions, further suggesting how these will impact specific cognitive control dimensions (proactive, reactive). These can be assessed with experimental paradigms and associated behavioral and neural metrics to index the relevant dimensions with high precision. Novel experimental studies and tractable research designs are also proposed to rigorously test this theoretical framework.
Stimulus-response binding and retrieval operates independently of contingency awareness: A mega-analysis
Authors: Rudolph Matthäus , Giesen Carina G. , Rothermund Klaus
Published: December 2024

There is an ongoing debate about the role of top-down influences on episodic binding and retrieval processes. The Binding and Retrieval in Action Control (BRAC) framework postulates that both, binding and retrieval, are modulated by top-down processes, such as awareness and instructions (Frings et al., 2020). To test this assumption, we conducted a mega-analysis in which we reanalyzed data from four contingency learning experiments (total N = 859). Contingency awareness was assessed in all experiments. Furthermore, in two experiments, contingency awareness was experimentally manipulated by instructing participants about the existing contingencies. Results show that both, binding and retrieval, are impervious to the awareness of stimulus-response contingencies (measured and manipulated). In sum, our findings suggest that stimulus-response binding and retrieval is an automatic cognitive process that operates unconsciously and independently of top-down influences such as contingency knowledge and awareness.
Assessing the Stability of Cognitive and Attentional Computerized Tests: A Test-Retest Reliability Study
Authors: Tapia Jose Luis
Published: December 2024

This study aims to evaluate the test-retest reliability of four computerized cognitive tests designed to measure selective attention, sustained attention, visual search, and visual scanning. Given the growing use of computerized cognitive assessments in clinical, educational, and research settings, ensuring their reliability is crucial. The sample consisted of 39 young adults who completed computerized versions of the Trail Making Test, Visual Search Test, Sustained Attention to Response Test, and Selective Attention Test developed by CogniFit Inc. (San Francisco, US) across three sessions. The study included two key comparisons – test-retest on different days and immediate test-retest on the same day – analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation and Intraclass correlation. Results indicated consistent outcomes across sessions for all tests, except for certain variables where immediate repetition likely induced practice or learning effects and for variables that are not crucial for the task. It also showed correlations in all the tests in at least one measure. These findings support the reliability of these tests over short intervals, aligning with previous research on traditional and computerized cognitive assessments. The study highlights the utility of these computerized tests as a reliable and accessible tool for cognitive evaluation, with potential for broad application in various settings. Future research should explore longer test-retest intervals and diverse populations to further validate these tools' reliability and applicability.
Structure in the noise: understanding temporal variability in perceptual decision-making
Authors: Urai Anne E
Published: December 2024

Studies of perceptual decision-making typically present the same stimulus repeatedly over the course of an experimental session but ignore the order of these observations, assuming unrealistic stability of decision strategies over trials. However, even so-called ‘stable’, ‘steady-state’ or ‘expert’ decision-making behavior features significant trial-to-trial variability that is richly structured in time. Structured trial-to-trial variability of different forms can be uncovered using latent variable models such as hidden Markov models and autoregressive models, revealing how unobservable internal states change over time. Capturing such temporal structure can avoid confounds in cognitive models, provide insights into inter- and intra-individual variability, and bridge the gap between neural and cognitive mechanisms of variability in perceptual decision-making.
