Psychometric properties of the Ukrainian version of the PGWBI scale on a sample of breast cancer patients
Authors: Nefedova Tetiana
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of psychometric properties of the Ukrainia nadaptation of the Psychological General Well-Being Index (PGWBI) scale on a sample of cancer patients diagnosed with breast cancer. The Ukrainian adaptation of the PGWBI scale was tested for reliability and validity, and the correspondence to the structure o fthe original was established using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The PGWBI scale demonstrated excellent internal consistency, confirming its reliability. The two-dimensional structure differs from the six-factor version of the original, but this does not compromise the validity of the instrument. The scale has shown strong competitive validity, correlating well with other psychological metrics such as the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The Ukrainian version of the PGWBI is a reliable and valid tool for assessing the psychological well-being of breast cancer patients. These results provide a basis for future research and clinical evaluations of the Ukrainian sample.

THE PLANTS ON PAPHLAGONIA CITY COINS:
ICONOGRAPHIC AND ICONOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

ABSTRACT

The images on the coins of the ancient cities in the Paphlagonia Region, reflecting the identity of the city, have been and continue to be the subject of various studies. The plant motif and the meaning it represents on the coins of the cities of Herakleia Pontike, Tion/Tieon, Amastris, Kromna, Abonoteikhos and Sinope in this geography were questioned. Plants such as laurel, olive, oak, grape, palm, wheat and reed/sedge, which have been on the obverse and reverse of the coins since the 5th and 4th centuries BC, are sometimes cult symbols, sometimes agricultural products, and sometimes "cultural or appears as a political symbol. In our study, the plants that are unique to the city and the propaganda symbols of the political or administration were tried to be distinguished and their meaning was discussed based on the plant that represents the city. It has been questioned whether it is one of the symbols representing the identity of the Paphlagonia Region. As a result, it was tried to determine the cultural change in the sense symbolized by the plant descriptions preferred in the periods.
Social Dimension Factors Influencing Access to Bank-Credit for Small-Holder Livestock Farmers in Rural South Africa
Authors: Dubihlela Dorah
Published: November 2024

This paper investigates the association between the social dimensions of rural small-holder livestock farmers and their access to bank credit facilities in a South African rural setup, taking gender into consideration. In many emerging economies, small-holder livestock farmers frequently face difficulties in accessing bank credit facilities due to the weak status of their standing in society (social dimensions) and limited access to banking services. This is a treat to their sustainability and growth. A quantitative approach was used on a sampled small-holder livestock farmers in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. Regression analysis was conducted to determine the relationships between the factors of social capital and their association with access to financial capital. The study revealed that social capital has influence in securing bank finance among the small holder livestock farmers but not gender. These findings should guide policymakers, banking institutions, and the government in addressing the challenges faced by small holder farmers in accessing capital and help to understand the gender inequality relating to the access of bank credit facilities.

Objective: To compare corneal astigmatism pre and post-operatively after Phacoemulsification through a 2.75mm Clear Corneal Temporal Incision.
Study Design:  Quasi-Experimental study.
Place and Duration of Study:  Combined Military Hospital, Kharian Pakistan, from January to May 2023. 
Patients and Methods: The data of 46 patients of age more than 55 years of either gender with cataract was collected after taking consent. Those patients were excluded from the study with past ocular history of conditions affecting corneal astigmatism. Intra-ocular lens (IOL) with previously determined power was placed following phacoemulsification through 2.75mm temporal incision. Corneal astigmatism was noted pre-operatively, and at 7th and 28th day after surgery and the differences if any were recorded subsequently. 
Results: Out of 46 patients, 27(58.7%) were females while 19(41.3%) were males aged 61.19+10.66 years on average. Overall variation in astigmatism in the operated patients from pre-op value to 7 and 28 days post op was 0.08+0.42D (p=0.529) and 0.14+0.48D (p=0.351). 95% of patients had a variation of <1.00 D in corneal astigmatism after surgery while >1.00 D variation was found in only 5%.
Conclusion: Surgically induced astigmatism is much reduced in patients post-operatively who have undergone phacoemulsification using a temporal clear corneal incision with a 2.75mm keratome.

Data power y poder de mercado. Interconexión entre el derecho de la competencia y las normas sobre protección de datos
Authors: Polit Sobrino Nina
Published: November 2024

La economía digital ha dado lugar a importantes avances en innovación, pero también ha planteado desafíos en términos de competencia y protección de datos. En mercados digitales, los datos personales se han convertido en uno de los más valiosos activos y en una importante fuente de poder de mercado, otorgando a las plataformas poseedoras una ventaja competitiva única. En años recientes, la jurisprudencia mayoritaria consideraba que cualquier cuestión relacionada con la privacidad y protección de datos no era una cuestión del derecho de la competencia. En contraposición, el objetivo del presente estudio es exponer que ambos regímenes –competencia y privacidad– están profundamente entrelazados porque, por un lado, son las características económicas de estas plataformas digitales las que les permiten recopilar una gran cantidad de datos. Por otro lado, este acceso privilegiado a los datos puede conducir a un mayor afianzamiento de su poder económico a través del aumento de las barreras de entrada, la exclusión de competidores y el desarrollo de estrategias de manipulación informativa. Analizando la reciente doctrina y jurisprudencia, así como las nuevas iniciativas legislativas, se expone que solo mediante la elaboración de una estrategia común y de un enfoque más coordinado entre ambos regímenes, podrá hacerse frente a los desafíos y alcanzar sus respectivos objetivos.

Published: November 2024

This study considered performing features of chamber vocal works of Ukrainian composers. The relevance of the study is conditioned by the fact that the issue of research in the music industry is determined by the cultural and social transformations that have taken place in the world and in Ukraine over the past decades. The purpose of this study is to understand the specifics of chamber vocal music by Ukrainian composers and identify the features of the process of mastering this genre of vocal music. The following methods were applied to achieve the research objective: analysis of scientific sources, logical and comparative analysis, descriptive and structural methods, scientific objectivity, and systematisation. The paper identifies and describes the main genre features of chamber vocal works of Ukrainian composers, which are mandatory for creating a performing interpretation. The methods of Ukrainian and foreign teachers in musicology, their systematic positions of understanding the specifics of chamber vocal works, and awareness of the tasks of performing musical works facing song performers are considered. The importance of a systematic approach in the practice of vocalists studying the features of chamber vocal works is emphasised. The analysis of studies allowed characterising possible methods of working on chamber vocal works of Ukrainian composers. The practical significance is conditioned by the possibility of applying the results in preparation for teaching the course of the history of Ukrainian musicology, cultural studies, and the history of vocal art in educational institutions. The scientific information contained in the paper can be used in writing methodological works, textbooks on Ukrainian musicology, and for the study of future research papers.
Sputum Cytology and Blood Level of Some Heavy Metals in Subjects Exposed to Quarry, Wood and Rice Dusts in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, Nigeria
Authors: Okekpa Uchenna Oyibe , Ogenyi Samuel Ifedioranma
Published: November 2024

Background: In many occupations, workers are exposed to elements contained in rice husk/dust, quarry dust and wood dust such as magnesium, lead. Magnesium, lead and silicon are heavy metals and critical pollutants of the environment with negative impact in human health. Therefore, it is utmost importance to evaluate their toxicity in the workers.

Methods: This study investigated the levels of magnesium, lead and silicon in the workers of rice mill, quarry and timber. The cellular changes in the sputum of these workers were also investigated. The experimental groups were from 18years and above and must have worked in rice mill, quarry and timber for at least two years. The sputum of the workers were collected, stained with Pap, perl’s Prussian blue and Fuelgen.

Results: The blood levels of magnesium was significantly (p<0.05) low in all the test samples/groups. Timber workers recorded lowest value of magnesium (1.23±0.09 mmol/L), followed by rice mill workers (1.32±0.26 mmol/L) and quarry workers with 1.45±0.22 mmol/L when compared to the control (5.04±0.70 mmol/L) group. Lead was significantly high (p<0.05) in all the samples obtained from workers exposed to rice mill husk dust, quarry dust and timber wood dust. Silicon level was high in samples obtained from timber workers (19.18±10.44 µg/dL) and rice mill workers (14.78±6.78 µg/dL) when compared to the control (7.62±1.27 µg/dL). Samples from quarry site workers had significant high silicon level (59.83±18.38 µg/dL) compared to the control.

Results and Conclusion: our observations suggest that occupational exposure to rice mill dust, quarry dust and wood dust from timber workers causes a decreased blood levels of magnesium and significant high blood levels of Lead and silicon in rice mill, quarry and timber workers. However, further research is needed to confirm molecular interactions of these metals in the organisms.
Diagnosing the controls on desert dust emissions through the Phanerozoic
Authors: Xie Yixuan , Lunt Daniel J. , Valdes Paul J.
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Desert dust is a key component of the climate system, as it influences Earth's radiative balance and biogeochemical cycles. It is also influenced by multiple aspects of the climate system, such as surface winds, vegetation cover, and surface moisture. As such, geological records of dust deposition or dust sources are important palaeoclimate indicators; for example, dust records can be used to decipher aridity changes over time. However, there are no comprehensive records of global dust variations on tectonic timescales (tens of millions of years). Furthermore, although some modelling studies have focused on particular time periods of Earth's history, there has also been very little modelling work on these long timescales. In this study, we establish for the first time a continuous model-derived time series of global dust emissions over the whole Phanerozoic (the last 540 million years). We develop and tune a new offline dust emission model, DUSTY1.0, driven by the climate model HadCM3L. Our results quantitatively reveal substantial fluctuations in dust emissions over the Phanerozoic, with high emissions in the late Permian to Early Jurassic (× 4 pre-industrial levels) and low emissions in the Devonian–Carboniferous (× 0.1 pre-industrial levels). We diagnose the relative contributions from the various factors driving dust emissions and identify that the non-vegetated area plays a dominant role in dust emissions. The mechanisms of palaeohydrological variations, specifically the variations in low-precipitation-induced aridity, which primarily control the non-vegetated area, are then diagnosed. Our results show that palaeogeography is the ultimate dominating forcing, with dust emission variations explained by indices reflecting the land-to-sea distance of tropical and subtropical latitudes, whereas CO2 plays a marginal role. We evaluate our simulations by comparing them with sediment records and find reasonable agreement. This study contributes a quantified and continuous dust emission reconstruction and an understanding of the mechanisms driving palaeohydroclimate and dust changes over Earth's Phanerozoic history.
Downscaling precipitation over High-mountain Asia using multi-fidelity Gaussian processes: improved estimates from ERA5
Authors: Tazi Kenza , Orr Andrew , Hernandez-González Javier , Hosking Scott , Turner Richard E.
Published: November 2024

Abstract. The rivers of High-mountain Asia provide freshwater to around 1.9 billion people. However, precipitation, the main driver of river flow, is still poorly understood due to limited in situ measurements in this area. Existing tools to interpolate these measurements or downscale and bias-correct precipitation models have several limitations. To overcome these challenges, this paper uses a probabilistic machine learning approach called multi-fidelity Gaussian processes (MFGPs) to downscale the fifth ECMWF climate reanalysis (ERA5). The method is first validated by downscaling ERA5 precipitation data over data-rich Europe and then data-sparse upper Beas and Sutlej river basins in the Himalayas. We find that MFGPs are simpler to implement and more applicable to smaller datasets than other state-of-the-art machine learning methods. MFGPs are also able to quantify and narrow the uncertainty associated with the precipitation estimates, which is especially needed over ungauged areas and can be used to estimate the likelihood of extreme events that lead to floods or droughts. Over the upper Beas and Sutlej river basins, the precipitation estimates from the MFGP model are similar to or more accurate than available gridded precipitation products (APHRODITE, TRMM, CRU TS, and bias-corrected WRF). The MFGP model and APHRODITE annual mean precipitation estimates generally agree with each other for this region, with the MFGP model predicting slightly higher average precipitation and variance. However, more significant spatial deviations between the MFGP model and APHRODITE over this region appear during the summer monsoon. The MFGP model also presents a more effective resolution, generating more structure at finer spatial scales than ERA5 and APHRODITE. MFGP precipitation estimates for the upper Beas and Sutlej basins between 1980 and 2012 at a 0.0625° resolution (approx. 7 km) are jointly published with this paper.
Potential of tree-ring chronologies for multi-centennial streamflow reconstructions: an insight from Nepal
Authors: Gaire Narayan P. , Dhakal Yub R. , Shah Santosh K. , Fan Ze-Xin
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Rivers in the Himalayan and adjacent mountain regions are the lifelines of over 1 billion people and are the backbone of civilizations therein. The short gauge records of Nepal do not provide a sufficient time window to understand the natural variations in river discharge from a long-term climate perspective. By developing a network of over 100 tree-ring chronologies across Nepal, we checked their hydrological sensitivity for long-term streamflow reconstruction. This shows huge potential for long-term annual or seasonal streamflow reconstructions in different river basins of Nepal. A robust reconstruction model was developed between tree growth and streamflow, capturing 56 % of the variance in the actual data, and was used to reconstruct the March–July monthly average streamflow of Sinja Khola (river) at Diware from AD 1700 to 2013. The reconstruction revealed several dry and pluvial periods with the recent decline in the streamflow in the Sinja River. We found short- (2 to 8.7 years) to medium-term (35.2 years) periodicities in the reconstruction that are likely to be associated with climatic oscillations, such as the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), along with the influence of local circulation patterns. Since Sinja Valley is related to the origin of the Nepali language and civilization, the information on long-term streamflow will be beneficial for water resource management in the context of rapid climate change and for preparedness for water-induced disasters in the region.
Landslide hazard mapping of Wayanad District of Kerala, India, incorporating copula-based estimation of joint probability of rainfall
Authors: Dilama Shamsudeen Shamla , Sankaran Adarsh
Published: November 2024

Abstract. The development and integration of the spatial and temporal probabilities of landslides are required for complete landslide hazard mapping at any location. Under changing climate, the computation of the temporal probability of landslides with rainfall magnitude alone is inaccurate. This research proposes a framework based on copula functions to develop a landslide probability map using multi-site rainfall data by accounting for the rainfall variables of intensity and duration using a joint-probability approach. The proposed technique is used for Wayanad District, Kerala, India, considering extreme rainfall events in 2018. Firstly, the landslide susceptibility map of the district was developed using a robust random forest (RF) model. Based on regional geology, geomorphology, and climate, different regions of Wayanad have varying rainfall thresholds assessed according to the intensity and duration of the rainfall. Then, the temporal probability of landslides was developed, accounting for the intensity and duration of rainfall events using the joint-probability estimation using copula. Through the integration of the landslide spatial probability map with the temporal probability, landslide hazard maps (LHMs) for Wayanad were developed for time periods ranging from 1 to 50 years. The results of the study indicate the need for bi- or multi-variate landslide probability modeling in studies on regional landslide hazard assessments.

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Climate change is rapidly altering Himalayan glaciers, jeopardizing downstream water resources. This study investigates the impact of changing air temperatures, precipitation, and glacier configurations on streamflow in the Langtang River basin, a vital Himalayan basin. Using a process-based glacio-hydrological model driven by bias-corrected reanalysis data, we simulate streamflow under various scenarios. Results reveal that, while current glacier conditions show increased runoff with higher temperatures and precipitation, future deglaciation scenarios project a decrease in total streamflow, highlighting the complex interplay between climate and glacier dynamics in basin hydrology. These findings emphasize the need for adaptation strategies to ensure water security in the face of evolving Himalayan hydrology.
Estudo comparativo da legitimação do Ministério Público: Argentina e Brasil
Authors: Salgado José Maria , Zaneti Júnior Hermes
Published: November 2024

This study provides a comparative analysis of the legal standing of the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Argentina and Brazil, based on a recent case from the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation of Argentina. Initially, it discusses Argentine law and the interpretative potential within the country’s legal system for recognizing collective standing for the protection of public interest, as well as the transformation of the Public Prosecutor’s Office from a mere protector of individual rights to a guardian of legal order and promoter of collective rights. Subsequently, it explores the trajectory, legislation, and practices of the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Brazil, highlighting its role in collective redress. The comparison between the two models reveals the need to revisit the role of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, transitioning from a guardian of the law and protector of individual inalienable rights to a defender of the primary and social public interest centered on the Constitution, acting as custos societatis. The study also underscores the importance of an autonomous, budget-independent, capable, and independent institution to act in cases involving diffuse and collective rights
Litigância climática em face do atual estado de coisa inconstitucional e inconvencional no Brasil
Authors: Dias Martins Joana D’arc
Published: November 2024

Planet Earth is going through an accelerated and continuous process of climate change due to unprecedented human intervention. It is a cross-border problem that threatens all existing forms of life, including humanity itself, present and future. Brazil, which has already figured as a world protagonist in the fight against climate change, is currently one of the largest GHG emitters on the planet, mainly related to the expansion of deforestation and fires, in defiance of the obligations assumed under the CF/1988, infra-constitutional legislation and numerous ratified international treaties. Therefore, considering that in its constitutional structure the right to a stable climate is a fundamental right, the fight against climate change and its consequences is a duty of the State, in order to limit its discretion, removing its ability to decide on the convenience and opportunity to act, the objective of this article is to analyze these recent and frequent violations and how they have repercussions on the human and fundamental right to a balanced environment, generating an unconstitutional and unconventional state of affairs that can be legitimately recognized by the STF from the filing of climate litigation.

El movimiento Hakuna: estructura organizacional y estrategias para la recristianización de la juventud en España
Authors: Perugorría Ignacia , García Martín Joseba , Ruiz Andrés Rafael
Published: November 2024

Con más de 60 grupos alrededor del mundo, 10.000 jóvenes participando semanalmente en sus actividades, y una inusitada visibilización más allá de los círculos religiosos gracias a los multitudinarios conciertos de su grupo de pop cristiano, el movimiento Hakuna es una rara avis en el contexto secularizado español. Nuestra investigación se basa en una amalgama teórica que combina los análisis sobre cambio religioso y los estudios sobre movimientos sociales; dos literaturas que rara vez se cruzan. Analizamos Hakuna a partir de tres ejes: su triple estructura organizativa, repertorios movilizacionales y trabajo identitario. Para ello, partimos de un diseño cualitativo multimétodo basado, principalmente, en la netnografía y el análisis de datos secundarios. El artículo desvela las características que distinguen a Hakuna de otros movimientos católicos en un contexto de cultural backlash: (1) la retroalimentación entre su asociación de fieles, fundación y grupo musical; (2) su estrategia de espiritualización del ocio y su alineamiento con la “industria psi” del bienestar personal; (3) sus tácticas de apostolado digital y marketing corporativo, y, finalmente, (4) la lógica “amigo-amigo” que busca recristianizar a la juventud exculturizada, y superar clivajes entre organizaciones católicas en un contexto de creciente polarización en torno a la cuestión religiosa.

INSTITUTIONAL LOGICS OF SUSTAINABILITY: AN EVALUATION OF KEY FACTORS IN THE CONTEXT OF KNOWLEDGE-BASED INSTITUTIONS
Authors:   HEM Business & Engineering School, Casablanca, Morocco, Zineb ZNAGUI
Published: November 2024

Institutional Logics of Sustainability (ILS) comprise the principles, beliefs and norms that guide organizational behavior towards sustainable practices, reflecting societal and environmental values within institutions. Although the concept of institutional logic has been widely explored in organization theory, its specific application to sustainability, particularly within knowledge-based institutions (KBIs), remains under-examined. This study fills important gaps in the literature by identifying and conceptualizing the key factors that constitute KBIs, focusing on how KBIs, such as universities, research centers and technology companies, prioritize and implement sustainability within their organizational frameworks. Through a comprehensive analysis, the research examines the implications of ILS on organizational behavior and decision-making in KBIs. Findings highlight the critical role of regulatory environments, stakeholder expectations, organizational learning and industry-specific characteristics in shaping sustainability practices. This study contributes to a better understanding of the mechanisms governing sustainability in KBIs and offers valuable insights for practitioners and policy-makers wishing to advance sustainable development in these influential sectors.
NONLINEAR CALCULATION OF TUBULAR CONCRETE ELEMENTS DURING BENDING
Authors: LAZOUSKI D. , GLUKHOV D. , KALTUNOU A. , KHATKEVICH A.
Published: November 2024

The question of the applicability of a nonlinear deformation model for the calculation of bent tubular concrete elements with round pipes is considered. A criterion for the destruction of a bent tubular concrete element without limiting concrete deformations during compression is proposed. The advantage of this failure criterion is the possibility of taking into account a high degree of redistribution of forces in the cross section of the bent tubular concrete element after the pipe steel reaches the yield strength and there is no need to normalize the ultimate compressibility of concrete. The results of the nonlinear calculation of the limiting force are compared with experimental data from the formed sample of studies. The applicability of the nonlinear calculation is confirmed, taking into account the authors' proposals for tubular concrete elements with round pipes during bending to calculate the moment corresponding to the beginning of the flow of pipe steel.

Urban Landscape and Political Violence in Anurag Kashyap’s Cinematic Narratives: A Foucauldian Perspective
Authors: Ms. Sarita Yadav  , Dr Vipan Pal Singh
Published: November 2024

This research examines the representation of political violence in Anurag Kashyap’s movies that are set in urban environments and the extents to which such portrayals are a mirror to society. We will first discuss what makes urban environments a haven for violent crimes and then, analyze the relations between the socio-physical determinants, power, and individual agency. By scrutinizing two of Anurag Kashyap’s films, renowned for their gritty urban realism, the study elucidates the ways in which these works articulate the contentious dynamics of political violence in India’s metropolises. Referring to the philosophical perspectives of Michel Foucault, we examine the dynamics of power in the politics of urban settings. This research uses Foucault’s ideas like power-knowledge, discourse, disciplinary bodies, and technology of the self to analyze how leaders use strategies and tactics that lead the youth to violence. The following analysis aims at understanding how, in addition to reflecting, Bollywood can actively contribute to building the perception of the urban turmoil, thereby understanding the role of cinema as a social mirror and critique. Overall, this research enriches the knowledge on violence and power relations and social control in urban environments and highlights the potential of cinema as a discursive tool for critique.
Memory and Modernity: Exploring Urban Disillusionment and the Search for Meaning in Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway and Beyond
Authors: Dr. Priyanka Kumari
Published: November 2024

Modernist literature has left an indelible mark by delving into the profound impact of existential anxiety and disorientation that emerges when individuals find themselves ensnared in a web of disillusionment with no clear escape route. This exploration starkly delineates that alienation has been a consistent facet of human experience since the inception of modern capitalist ideas, particularly influencing minds and hearts in urban landscapes. Consequently, the examination of disillusionment remains pertinent in our contemporary society, where urban marginality, memory, and institutional influences continue to intricately shape our lives in complex and opaque ways. Against this backdrop, the present study, with the help of select text, Mrs. Dalloway (1925) written by Virginia Woolf, is an attempt to bring the alienation theme that offers the author’s views not just on a kind of “transformation” amplifying humans’ separation from the world but also on the troubles of the Modern Age. On the one hand, mirroring the fractured state of society and memories, where individuals are isolated and unable to communicate effectively symbolizes emotional emptiness, where characters or societies experience a lack of connection, meaning, or fulfilment. In other words, the present study can serve as a metaphor for the erosion of moral values, cultural decay, and the breakdown of social structures. On the other hand, it strives to provide women with the proper clues through their constant struggles and tireless resistance to have meaning in their lives.
Over 30 Examples and an Incomplete Emergence: Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell in, on, and with Anthologies
Authors: Cocola Jim
Published: November 2024

This article tabulates the dimensions of Bishop’s and Lowell’s anthology appearances, contextualizing such data with respect to their careers as consumers, producers, and critics of anthologies, which proved lifelong occupations for both poets. Delineating their paramount achievements and their prevailing frustrations with respect to anthologies, this article offers a clearer sense of their poetic achievements and of their changing reputations: if Lowell was the more anthologized poet in the twentieth century, Bishop has begun to surpass him in the twenty-first century, for reasons that are simultaneously poetic and political.
“[A] soul’s release”: Confessional Modes in Elizabeth Bishop’s Emotional Correspondence
Authors: Halank Susen
Published: November 2024

Elizabeth Bishop is a prolific letter writer, yet her letters to female friends have not received adequate attention. This article combines a textual approach to Bishop’s writing with an analysis of Bishop’s relationships to close female friends and argues that questions of emotional stability and Bishop’s poetic and epistolary practice are intricately interwoven concerning tone, form, and descriptive detail. The article focuses on selected letters by Bishop to Loren MacIver in 1949 to provide a case study on a rhetoric of addiction characteristic of Bishop’s writing to female friends about her daily struggles, anxieties, and alcoholism, while also examining her complicated, slow process of writing.

Impact of green and black tea extracts on swimming performance and caudal fin regeneration in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) following amputation
Authors: Derron Ricardo Taite  , Mohammad Kutub Ali
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the effects of green tea and black tea extracts on swimming performance and caudal fin regeneration in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) following caudal fin amputation. Zebrafish were treated with either tea extract for 14 days, with applications administered three times daily. Swimming performance was assessed against water currents. Results indicated that green tea-treated fish exhibited the greatest resistance to water flow, primarily occupying the high-force zone during a 15-minute exercise session, while black tea-treated fish were mostly found in middle and lower zones. Cumulative distribution analysis showed that green tea-treated fish maintained their positions in stronger current zones significantly longer than both black tea and control groups (p < 0.0001). Conversely, control fish displayed the highest area of caudal fin regeneration, significantly surpassing both tea-treated groups. Green tea-treated fish showed the least regeneration area, though differences from black tea were not statistically significant. These findings challenge previous studies suggesting that green tea enhances tissue regeneration. The pro-apoptotic effects of green tea's primary component, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), may have limited its regenerative potential despite its antioxidant properties. This research highlights the complex relationship between tea polyphenols, swimming performance, and tissue regeneration, suggesting that while both green and black tea can enhance physiological performance, their effects vary based on the interplay between antioxidative benefits and apoptosis-inducing mechanisms.
