Authors: García Lirios Cruz
Published: January 2025

Within the framework of the effects of climate change, the public administration of zoos is a scenario to observe the relationship between Sustainable and Human Development. Based on the analysis of risks and vulnerabilities, the management of recreational centers makes its visitors aware of the importance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The objective of this work was to establish the network of perceptions around the public administration of species in captivity and for investigative or cultural purposes. An exploratory, correlational and cross-sectional work was carried out with a sample of 100 professional practitioners and social servants from centers of captivity of endangered species. The results show that the dimensions of public administration were associated with SDGs 1, 5, 7, 12 and 15 related to the end of poverty, gender equality, affordable and clean energy, responsible production and consumption, life in terrestrial ecosystems. In relation to the studies of Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management (GIRD), lines of study are recommended for the analysis of risks and vulnerabilities in scenarios of captivity of species.
The Diagnostic Challenge of Gallbladder Volvulus: A Case Report
Authors: H. G. Vinay
Published: January 2025

Background: Gall bladder volvulus is a rare intra-operative diagnosis mimicking acute cholecystitis, usually seen in elderly females.

Clinical Description: Patients usually present with acute onset, right upper quadrant pain in the abdomen. It may be associated with vomiting, jaundice or a palpable lump

Management: Though conservative percutaneous drainage is attempted as an initial procedure, the definite management includes a cholecystectomy with laparoscopic approach preferred over open surgery.

Conclusion: Diagnosis of gall bladder volvulus is challenging and often impossible pre-operatively. Delay in definite surgical management increases the mortality and morbidity of the patients.

Authors: DANTAS NATÁLIA PEREIRA , OLIVEIRA DÉBORA BENÍCIO ALVES
Published: January 2025

O presente trabalho apresenta uma discussão acerca da inclusão do aluno autista e seus desafios na rede municipal de ensino, sobretudo o 2º ano do ensino fundamental da escola Municipal Professora Maria Nilza localizada na cidade de Salgueiro-PE.  Para tanto, o objetivo cumpre em conhecermos mais sobre esse assunto e, ao mesmo tempo, compreender como vem ocorrendo a inclusão na rede municipal de ensino e quais seus desafios. A discussão, teoricamente está fundada nos estudos do Instituto Rodrigues Mendes (2022), Constituição Federal (1988), Lei de Diretrizes e Base 9.394/96, Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a educação Básica, Convenção de Salamanca (1994), Santos (2008), dentre outros. Nesse sentido, foi realizado uma pesquisa qualitativa, exploratória descritiva. Baseado em pesquisa qualitativa, de campo, ao qual foi aplicado um questionário semiestruturado para a professora da respectiva turma, cuidadora, mãe atípica e coordenadora da referida escola. Os resultados apontam que a escola acima citada tenta ao máximo fazer com que haja a inclusão dessas crianças que necessitam de um acompanhamento mais especializado, desde atividades adaptadas, interação com os demais estudantes até atividades dentro e fora da escola, enfim, é feito todo um engajamento para que essa inclusão aconteça, embora nem sempre seja uma tarefa fácil, podendo considerar os desafios e características únicas que isso acarreta. Embora o acesso ao ensino inclusivo ser garantido por lei, constata-se que o caminho para a inclusão destas crianças é no entanto, longo e difícil. Portanto é um desafio continuo e que devem-se continuar questionando para que uma educação de qualidade seja o objetivo geral da educação.

Published: January 2025

Religious moderation is key to the creation of tolerance and aggression at various levels. In Indonesia, building a community among diverse societies is a priority for the Ministry of Religion. South Sulawesi, with a majority of its population Muslims, has a dynamic of harmonious religious life without serious interreligious conflict. This devotional activity aims to increase the involvement of cross-religious youth as agents of change in strengthening religious moderation and gatherings through social media. The implementation of the activities is carried out with the community-based research (CBR) approach, which covers the four stages of policy-making, planning, data collection and analysis, and action on findings. These stages include training, focus group discussions, and the establishment of a cross-religious youth institution active in social media. The activities resulted in two major achievements, namely the creation of the Interreligious Youth Foundation in Kelurahan Amparita, known as the Three One Village, and the publication of crowd content in the form of photos, videos, and messages disseminated through social media and the website https://sipakatabe.id/. This dedication program successfully consolidated the concept of brotherhood as a foundation for interreligious gatherings in the Sidrap district. Young pioneers of the crowd gain knowledge in the creation of crowd content and actively engage in the dissemination of tolerant messages. This program is expected to be a model for other regions in building a congregation of religious people. The recommendation of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Sidrap District is to continue building the young generation through the Village Development Programme. (PDSKUB).

Authors: Polanco Tainiz , Alam Ocean , Lopez Diana , Pizutelli Vanessa
Published: January 2025

Minority populations throughout the world are hit with obstacles that interfere with their mental health, especially high school students. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has had drastic effects on the performance of these individuals and their social engagement. As observed, there is a divide amongst different races of students that highlights the lack of mental health resources provided to them and how they are utilized. After conducting further research on such issues, we were able to determine the major barriers existing today that tend to push students away from utilizing existing resources. Some of these barriers could vary from external stress to internal stress within these high school students. Stigma is a major component that was examined as it was a common occurrence within the teen population. Ways to create a positive attitude towards mental health in high schools would include increasing engagement between diverse students and staff and creating a safe learning space to decrease any former barriers. In order to further combat stigma, meaningful interventions include advocacy regarding funding and awareness towards mental health initiatives, as well as soliciting firsthand perspectives of middle and high school counselors in order to tailor interventions to specific local communities.
Social moods and emotions of Russian society: by the results of 2024
Authors:   Institute of Sociology of Federal Research Centre of Russian Academy of Sciences, Barash Raisa E.
Published: January 2025

Applying to the sociological data of the Institute of Sociology of FCTAS RAS, the author analyzes the dynamics of the emotions and the attitudes of the Russia’s citizens during the 2023-2024-ies. The ag-gravation of the post-COVID anxiety of the Russia’s society in 2022 was replaced in 2024 by tenden-cies of adaptation to the situation, and emotional “confusion” was replaced by the citizens’ attempts to return to their usual routine. In 2024 the nor-malization of the citizens' perception the situation in the state was fixed, and the respondents’ atti-tudes towards the situation in their region and place of residence overcame the positive indica-tors of the "COVID period" after a sharp drop in 2022. However, despite the generally positive as-sessments of the current state of affairs by Rus-sians, in 2024 many citizens announce negative dominants in the psycho-emotional attitudes of society, indicating that negative emotions, primari-ly anxiety, prevail in the mood of the people around them. In the circumstances of a difficult psycho-emotional climate, many Russian citizens perceive current events philosophically, continu-ing to believe in personal and national prospects.

Published: January 2025

In the Mediterranean Sea, the demosponge _Chondrilla nucula_ can occur in close association with the native seagrass _Posidonia oceanica_. _C. nucula_ harbors a diverse and abundant microbial community, including potential nitrifiers. Thus, the sponge may contribute to the nitrogen (N) demand of the seagrass holobiont. In this study, we investigated potential nitrification rates (PNR) and inorganic N fluxes within this association at a site where _C. nucula_ covered 18 ± 3 % of the seagrass meadow area, during plant growth (spring) and senescence (autumn). Using incubation experiments with 15N-labeled ammonium, we measured PNR and inorganic N of the seagrass-sponge association, and of sponge and seagrass independently, under light and dark conditions. We supplemented these experiments with 16s rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to characterize the microbial community of the sponge. PNR was exclusively measured when the sponge was present (alone or in association with the seagrass). PNR was highest in the dark and when _C. nucula_ was associated with the seagrass, ranging from 21 ± 7 to 267 ± 33 nmol N g DW-1 h-1 in spring and autumn, respectively. Sponge-mediated PNR can support 8% of the N demand of the _P. oceanica_ holobiont during growth and 47 % during senescence. We identified key nitrifying bacterial and archaeal groups as members of the sponge’s microbial community. While _C. nucula_ released inorganic N, potentially sustaining the seagrass, it benefitted from dissolved organic carbon released by _P. oceanica_. These results suggest that the interaction between _C. nucula_ and _P. oceanica_ is mutually beneficial, ultimately supporting and stabilizing the seagrass ecosystem.
Angular-Controlled GST Phase-Change Double Micro-Ring Resonator for High-Speed Activation Functions in Neuromorphic Computing
Authors: Karimkhani Hossein , Banad Yaser M. , Sharif Sarah
Published: January 2025

In the drive toward efficient neuromorphic computing, photonic technologies offer promising solutions for implementing neural functionalities. Here we demonstrate the first all-optical double micro-ring resonator incorporating \(Ge_2Sb_2Te_5\) (GST) as a phase-change material to realize precise nonlinear activation functions (NLAF). Our device architecture achieves switching speeds of 0.5 ns through a novel approach to GST integration, where angular positioning of GST segments within the rings enables unprecedented control over optical transmission characteristics. Through systematic investigation of sixteen distinct phase configurations, we identify optimal GST positioning (\(180^{\circ}\) in the first ring, \(90^{\circ}\) in the second) that achieves ultra-narrow band transmission with 0.47 nm full width at half maximum. Operating at significantly lower temperatures (\(\approx 100^{\circ}C\)) than conventional GST implementations, our device maintains high contrast ratios with transmission coefficient modulation from near-zero to 0.85 across a 4 nm spectral window. The dual-ring architecture enables independent optimization of spectral selectivity and switching contrast - a capability previously unattainable in single-ring designs. These results demonstrate a viable pathway toward efficient neuromorphic photonic systems that can operate at speeds relevant for practical computing applications while maintaining the precision required for neural processing.
An Approximated QUBO Formulation for Solving Practical SAT Problems
Authors: Sonobe Tomohiro
Published: January 2025

In this paper, we introduce an approximated quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) formulation on satisfiability (SAT) problems derived from real-world applications. The proposed method is an inexact (approximated) formalization of a SAT instance to a QUBO, where the ground state of the QUBO does not correspond to the solution of the SAT instance. The method leverages the fact that practical SAT instances often contain many binary (size 2) clauses, allowing us to directly use a MAX2SAT formalization. In comparative experiments using existing formulations, the proposed method exhibits superior performance on the pigeonhole principle, graph coloring problems, and a subset of instances from the SAT Competition 2023. Notably, we were able to find the exact solutions of PHP instances using our method, despite its approximate formalization.
Tutorial on Fourier and Hankel Transforms for Ultrafast Optics
Authors: Chen Yi-Hao
Published: January 2025

This tutorial is designed for individuals who are new to the field of ultrafast optics. It was written in response to the apparent lack of comprehensive introductions to the basic Fourier transform, extending beyond the flat-phase description. Additionally, there is a need for complete derivations of several relations involving the Fourier transform, maintaining its most general formulation. This approach avoids the arbitrary selection of Fourier-transform constants and ensures a complete understanding. It shows the importance of having Fourier-transform constants as parameters. Most important of all, there have been misuse of Fourier transform from my observations, which cannot be easily detected by checking the smoothness of the result of a numerical implementation or by seeing if the simulation duplicates the “overall physics.” This problem should be easily solved by a simple tutorial (see Sec. 2.2). I hope that this tutorial can help people understand more about the Fourier transform, especially in the context of ultrafast optics. In addition, a tutorial of the Hankel transform, which arises from the two-dimensional spatial Fourier transform of a radially-symmetric function, is provided. Its numerical implementation based on the fast Hankel transform with high accuracy is also provided, which is the core element of fast radially-symmetric full-field ultrafast propagation.

Feel me to send me an email if there is any confusion, or you think that there is more to add to this tutorial. For a deeper understanding into the ultrafast pulse propagation that involves these transforms, please check out our publicly-shared Github code [https://github.com/AaHaHaa/MMTools].

Objectives Despite the importance of sexual mindfulness for the sexual satisfaction of couples, there is no suitable tool to measure it in the Iranian population. Therefore, it seems necessary to have a valid and reliable measurement scale. This research aims to investigate the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the sexual mindfulness measure (SMM) for the Iranian people.
Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022-2023 on 366 Iranian married people. The Persian versions of the SMM, the five-facet mindfulness questionnaire (FFMQ), and the marital sexual function scale (MSFS) were used to collect data. Cronbach’s alpha was calculated to assess internal consistency. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to examine the factor structure. Convergent validity was evaluated using the MSFS and FFMQ. Regression analysis was employed to test the predictive validity. Data analysis was performed in SPSS software, version 25 and AMOS software.
Results The CFA results confirmed the two-factor structure of the Persian SMM (awareness and non-judgment). The findings for the convergent validity showed that the SMM score had a positive and significant correlation with the MSFS and FFMQ scores. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.83 for the awareness subscale and 0.71 for the non-judgment subscale.
Conclusion The Persian SMM has suitable psychometric properties and can be used in research and clinical fields related to sexual functioning and mindfulness in Iran. Also, therapists should pay attention to sexual mindfulness as an important factor to improve the sexual function of married clients.
Attentional Control and Vertebrate Cognitive Evolution

Published: January 2025

How might brain functioning differ between endotherm and ectotherm vertebrates? Recent results suggest that ectotherms lack proper working memory, which could reflect a lack of attentional control. Ectotherms may nevertheless excel in cognitive tasks if their ecological needs and learning opportunities compensate for their lower computing power.

● Phenological shifts to global climate change impact ecosystem functions. There are various data sources from which spatiotemporal, and taxonomic phenological data may be obtained: mobilized herbaria, community-science initiatives, observatory networks, and remote-sensing. However, analyses conducted to date have generally relied on single sources of data, thus treating alternative data sources as isolated silos. ● Siloed treatment of data in analyses may be due to the lack of harmonization across different data sources, that offer partially non-overlapping information and are often complementary. Such treatment precludes a deeper understanding of phenological responses at macroecological scales. Here, we describe data harmonization as the direct integration of disparate sources of phenological data using a common schema. ● We highlight existing methods for data harmonization that can be applied to phenological data: data-design patterns, metadata standards, and ontologies. We describe how harmonized data from multiple sources can be integrated into analyses using existing methods and discuss the use of automated extraction techniques. ● Data harmonization is not a new concept in ecology but the harmonization of phenological data is long overdue. We aim to highlight the need for better data harmonization providing a roadmap for how harmonized phenological data may fill data gaps while simultaneously integrated into analyses

Efecto del Baclofén y Vigabatrina sobre la neurotransmisión glutamatérgica en el núcleo accumbens de rata durante la retirada de la cocaína
Authors:   Universidad de Cartagena, Pastrana Arias Ariel , Redondo Bermúdez Cesar , Mercado Camargo Jairo , Espinosa Ruiz Karla
Published: January 2025

Los psicoestimulantes como la cocaína por sus propiedades reforzadoras y hedónicas pueden conducir a la adicción. La suspensión del consumo de cocaína en adictos produce un síndrome de retirada que puede llevar a recaer en su consumo. El desarrollo y expresión de la sensibilización a los efectos de la cocaína pueden conducir a la recaída durante el periodo de retirada de esta sustancia y esta sensibilización podría estar mediada por la actividad glutamatérgica en el núcleo accumbens core. Los enfoques farmacológicos disponibles no mejoran esta situación. Este trabajo investigó en un modelo de retirada de cocaína en ratas, como se afectaron los niveles de glutamato en el núcleo accumbens core y como estos niveles pueden ser alterados por el baclofén y la vigabatrina. Conclusiones: 1La administración repetida de cocaína y su posterior retirada puede disminuir los niveles de glutamato en el núcleo accumbens core de ratas, posiblemente mediante mecanismos mediados por receptores dopaminérgicos D1 y D2 2. La actividad glutamatérgica puede ser disminuida en el periodo de retirada de la cocaína por los fármacos (±) baclofén y la vigabatrina. 3. Los resultados proponen la posible utilización del baclofén ó vigabatrina en los adictos a la cocaína en el periodo de retirada para disminuir el desarrollo y expresión de la sensibilización y posterior recaída en su consumo.

Categorization of drug development projects
Authors: Marciniak Magdalena , Cabała Paweł
Published: January 2025

The aim of the article is to develop a categorization of drug development projects based on the identified determinants of project management at different stages of the drug development process. The authors assumed that the factors influencing the success of drug development project management are diverse and depend on the level of advancement of research work. The concept of Technology Readiness Levels, which is well operationalized and applied in a wide range of industrial sectors, was used as a benchmark for assessing the maturity of projects. The complex, costly and multi-stage drug discovery and development process has been referred to Technology Readiness Levels. To define the determinants of drug development project management, empirical material collected through the observation of 140 meetings of teams implementing a total of 7 projects with different levels of development work was used. The presented research results can be used for the stratification of drug development projects, which – thanks to the use of appropriately selected project management methods – will enable better organization of the work of R&D centers in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.

ABD HEGEMONYASI’NIN DÖNÜŞÜMÜ VE LİBERAL ULUSLARARASI DÜZENE ETKİSİ
Authors: Esen Ebru
Published: January 2025

Bu çalışma, bilhassa 2000 sonrası uluslararası politikada yaşanan gelişmelerin ABD hegemonyası ve liberal uluslararası düzenin geleceği için ne anlam ifade ettiği hakkındaki tartışmalara katılmak amacıyla hazırlanmıştır. ABD hegemonyasının düşüşü son yıllarda özellikle Batı uluslararası ilişkiler literatüründe popüler konular arasındadır. Kimi araştırmacılar ABD hegemonyasındaki zayıflamayı, ABD politikalarının bir sonucu olarak değerlendirirken, başka bir görüşü temsil eden akademisyenler, bu durumun diğer güçlerin uluslararası politikadaki yükselişinden kaynaklandığını ileri sürmektedirler. Kuşkusuz ABD hegemonyasındaki düşüş tek bir sebeple açıklanamaz. Zira hegemonyaların kurulması ve sürdürülmesi gücün yanı sıra rıza unsurunu da gerektirmektedir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmada ABD hegemonyasında meydana gelen gerilemede diğer güçlerin yükselişinin etkisi olduğu kabul edilmekle birlikte, söz konusu gelişmenin tek başına nispi güç kaybı çerçevesinde açıklanamayacağı ileri sürülmektedir. Rıza unsuru, hegemon devletin liderlik sorumluluğunu üstlenme ve sistemin diğer üyelerinin hegemon devletin liderliğini kabul etmelerini gerektirmektedir. Buna karşın ABD, 2000 sonrası uyguladığı politikalarla liderlik sorumluluğuna aykırı davranmakta ve diğer aktörler nezdinde hegemon devlet olarak giderek saygınlığını yitirmektedir. Bir hegemonyanın bütüncül bir uluslararası düzenin yaratılmasında ve sürdürülmesinde oynadığı rol göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, ABD hegemonyasının düşüşü daha dikkate değer hale gelmektedir. Çalışmada ABD hegemonyasındaki düşüşün liberal uluslararası düzeni istikrarsızlığa sürüklediği, fakat buna rağmen yakın bir gelecekte küresel hegemonyanın değişmeyeceği ileri sürülmektedir. İlerleyen yıllarda hegemonik liderliğin değişmesi ya da hegemonsuz bir sisteme geçilmesi halinde dahi liberal uluslararası düzenin süreceği öngörülmektedir.
THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN INSTITUTIONAL TRANSFORMATION: A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK PROPOSAL BASED ON A CASE STUDY
Authors: Nait Bahloul Mokrane , Abderrahamene Khouloud
Published: January 2025

This paper aims to propose a theoretical framework that highlights the institutional transformative capacities of technology. It seeks to move beyond the traditional dichotomy that confines technology to either a deterministic or a voluntarist perspective. These opposing views fail to grasp the organizational transformations driven by technology. In the era of ICTs, where technology becomes increasingly invisible yet profoundly impactful, adopting a paradigm capable of addressing this organizational complexity is essential. The constructivist paradigm provides a relevant framework for conceptualizing technology as a social construct with a dual dimension—both structured and structuring. The case study, focused on a water management entity, served as the empirical basis for developing this theoretical framework. By leveraging the structured and structuring dimensions of technology, this framework highlights its institutional transformative capacities while clarifying the origins of institutional arrangements. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of technology as a driver of institutional transformation within organizations, emphasizing its dual role as both a product and a catalyst of institutional dynamics.
TRACING THE EVOLUTION OF ECOMMERCE: HISTORICAL FOUNDATIONS, IMPACTS OF THE PANDEMIC, AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Authors: Örendil Emre
Published: January 2025

Electronic commerce, or ecommerce, has been a topic of interest particularly in the last years. While ecommerce activities are notably facilitated today, it has gone through notably different forms since its first seeds were planted. The COVID-19 pandemic was a crisis for most businesses but also an opportunity for some, especially for those who were able to pivot or transform their businesses with respect to the new needs of consumers. With the positive impact of the pandemic on ecommerce sector observed especially as of the second quarter of 2020, its trend has surpassed the expectations. This overperformance came with numerous sceptical questions about the future of ecommerce. This study investigates the historical evolution, pandemic-induced transformations, and future trends of ecommerce. It conveys a compilation of milestones through systematic literature review with a focus on the practicality. This paper provides with a timeline of the ecommerce history to bridge its evolution in the last 80 years by visualizing the phases it has been through along with its anticipated trend in the upcoming years. The studied data reveals how COVID-19 accelerated ecommerce growth and highlights its implications for global retail. The growth of ecommerce may slow down but it will endure its growth as online shopping has already become an indispensable habit.
