The differentiation process of dental lamina and morpho-differentiation of the tooth germ may be the cause of developmental abnormality in terms of number, size, and shape. Management of such anomalies can be more complicated, because they can result in aesthetic problems, malocclusion, and other significant clinical consequences. To present a rare case with developmental anomalies of fusion of the permanent right mandibular central and lateral incisor with unusual anatomy of mandibular first and second premolar with two roots and canals. A 8-year-old male patient reported to the department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry for routine dental check-up and after clinical examination a preliminary diagnosis of fusion was made i.r.t 41,42. CBCT examination revealed fusion of mandibular permanent central and lateral incisors and also the presence of two roots in the first and second premolars bilaterally. For fusion the aesthetic management of bifurcation of crown was the suggestion. The two root canals of premolars could be challenging if root canal treatment was required. Although asymptomatic, these dental anomalies of fusion can be of aesthetic concern and management of disengaging the fusion require skillful technique. The two root canals of premolars were caries free and as this variation has been observed in young age the preventive strategy for caries is strongly recommended.

AUDIT QUALITY AND CORPORATE TAX AVOIDANCE: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW AND FUTURE RESEARCH AGENDA
Authors: Nurhaliza Fadilla , Payamta
Published: February 2025

This study explores the complex relationship between audit quality and corporate tax avoidance through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, examining 37 Scopus- indexed articles published between 2019 and 2023. Tax avoidance, often perceived as a strategic effort by companies to reduce their tax burden, poses significant challenges for governments, especially in emerging economies like Indonesia. Audit quality plays a crucial role in mitigating aggressive tax avoidance by ensuring transparency and enhancing the integrity of financial reporting. Key Audit Matters (KAM) disclosures, introduced to improve the quality of audit communication, have been shown to increase stakeholder trust and reduce misinterpretations of financial information. The findings underscore the importance of auditor independence and professionalism in addressing tax-related issues, while highlighting potential conflicts of interest when auditors provide tax consultancy services. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the critical role of auditors in detecting and mitigating manipulative tax practices by employing advanced technological tools, including big data and artificial intelligence. Future research directions suggest investigating the dynamic impact of digital transformation on audit processes, the role of government regulations in promoting tax compliance, and the integration of cross-sectoral perspectives to address industry-specific challenges. The study concludes that a combination of robust audit practices, enhanced regulatory frameworks and continuous advancements in technology is essential to improve audit quality and curb aggressive tax strategies, contributing to sustainable corporate governance and fiscal policy outcomes.

Visions of Sustainable Future Shaped Through a Dilemma: International Tourism Development and Lagoon Management in Bacalar
Authors: Yamasaki Eriko , Meneghello Laura
Published: February 2025

The international tourism development along the Caribbean coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, started as a state-driven project in the 1970s. Located farther south of the popular tourist resort in the Mexican Caribbean, Bacalar has increasingly become famous as international tourism destination because of its freshwater body named ‘Lagoon of Seven Colours’. As a drastic increase in tourist arrivals leads to the contamination of the lagoon, the question of sustainability of tourism development has become a highly debated issue in that small town.

Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in March 2019, this paper examines the visions of sustainability that the citizens of Bacalar developed in the attempt to find a balance between the growth of international tourism and the protection of local natural heritage. It analyses local narratives and interprets discourses of sustainability as being the outcome of translocal processes characterised by a productive friction between vernacular perceptions of the environment and the globalised concept of sustainability.

Methanol is one of the most abundant complex organic molecules in interstellar environments. Molecular lines of its rare isotopologues 12CH3
17OH and 12CH3
18OH therefore play a crucial role in examining the column density of 12CH3
16OH, which serves as a reference for organic molecular chemistry in interstellar clouds. In this study, we have recorded the spectroscopic emission spectrum of 12CH3
17OH in the frequency range between 216 and 264 GHz by making use of an emission-type millimeter and submillimeter spectrometer. We have specifically paid attention to the Q-branch transitions, which are the strongest line series in this frequency region. Among the stable oxygen isotopes, 16O, 17O, and 18O of methanol, only 12CH3
17OH obviously shows line profiles having double and/or triple peaks in low-J transitions, due to the nuclear quadrupole interaction. The newly obtained 12CH3
17OH data will play an important role in facilitating a deeper understanding of the organic chemistry related to star and planet formation. The 12CH3
17OH line data allow us to trace and constrain the isotopic ratio 17O/18O in methanol, which is efficient to investigate the galactic-scale evolution of elements. In addition, we also assigned some transitions of 13CH3
17OH in the recorded spectrum.
Tackling the Problem of Distributional Shifts: Correcting Misspecified, High-dimensional Data-driven Priors for Inverse Problems
Authors: Barco Gabriel Missael , Adam Alexandre , Stone Connor , Hezaveh Yashar , Perreault-Levasseur Laurence
Published: February 2025

Bayesian inference for inverse problems hinges critically on the choice of priors. In the absence of specific prior information, population-level distributions can serve as effective priors for parameters of interest. With the advent of machine learning, the use of data-driven population-level distributions (encoded, e.g., in a trained deep neural network) as priors is emerging as an appealing alternative to simple parametric priors in a variety of inverse problems. However, in many astrophysical applications it is often difficult or even impossible to acquire independent and identically distributed samples from the underlying data-generating process of interest to train these models. In these cases, corrupted data or a surrogate, e.g., a simulator, is often used to produce training samples, meaning that there is a risk of obtaining misspecified priors. This, in turn, can bias the inferred posteriors in ways that are difficult to quantify, which limits the potential applicability of these models in real-world scenarios. In this work, we propose addressing this issue by iteratively updating the population-level distributions by retraining the model with posterior samples from different sets of observations, and we showcase the potential of this method on the problem of background image reconstruction in strong gravitational lensing when score-based models are used as data-driven priors. We show that, starting from a misspecified prior distribution, the updated distribution becomes progressively closer to the underlying population-level distribution, and the resulting posterior samples exhibit reduced bias after several updates.
Exclusion of a Direct Progenitor Detection for the Type Ic SN 2017ein Based on Late-time Observations

Published: February 2025

To date, SN 2017ein is the only Type Ic supernova with a directly identified progenitor candidate. This candidate points to a very massive (>45 M
⊙) Wolf–Rayet (WR) progenitor, but its disappearance after the explosion of SN 2017ein remains unconfirmed. In this work, we revisit SN 2017ein in late-time images acquired by the Hubble Space Telescope at 2.4–3.8 yr after peak brightness. We find this source has not disappeared, and its brightness and color remain almost the same as in the preexplosion images. Thus, we conclude that the preexplosion source is not the genuine progenitor of SN 2017ein. It is not much likelier to be a companion star of the progenitor since it has a much lower extinction than SN 2017ein; its color also seems inconsistent with a star cluster, indicated by the newly added magnitude limit in F336W, apart from F555W and F814W. We suggest, therefore, this source is an unrelated star in chance alignment with SN 2017ein. Based on the low ejecta mass, we propose that SN 2017ein is most likely originated from a moderately massive star with M
ini ∼ 8–20 M
⊙, stripped by binary interaction, rather than a very massive WR progenitor.
Differential Elemental Accumulation of the Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) Along an Invasion Gradient
Authors: Gonçalves Diana , Sousa Ronaldo , Souza-Kasprzyk Juliana , Niedzielski Przemyslaw , Teixeira Amílcar , Padilha Janeide
Published: February 2025

The non-native signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) may alter ecosystems and affect local biota by changing the availability of chemical elements that accumulate and may act as contaminants. This elemental availability may change spatially. In this study, we investigate the differences in elemental exposure in signal crayfish in the Rabaçal River, Portugal, focusing on possible intrapopulation differences between individuals from the core and front (n=30 each) of an invasion gradient. We examined 57 elements, including essential (EEs): Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mg, Ca, Fe, Se, V, S; potentially toxic (PTEs): Cd, Hg, Pb, U, As, Sr, Ba, Cr, Zr, Cs, Tl; and technology-critical elements (TCEs): Ti, Rb, La, Ce, Pr, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb, Ga, Ge, Hf, Ta, In, Re, Te, Pt, and explored their relationship with signal crayfish diet, behaviour, and parasitic load. Significant differences in element concentrations were found between individuals from the core and front (mean µg/kg, dry weight). Individuals from the front showed higher levels of Co: (476 vs. 297), V: (390 vs. 262), Mn: (2.6 x 104 vs. 1.0 x 104), Hg: (2526 vs.1658), and Ta: (21 vs. 11). Conversely, individuals from the core had higher levels of Pb: (361 vs. 234), and Sr: (39772 vs. 20018). These differences likely reflect dietary and behavioural variations since front individuals have higher δ15N values and more exploratory behaviour, possibly relying more on higher trophic levels such as macroinvertebrates. In contrast, core individuals, with higher parasitic load, likely experienced reduced metabolic efficiency and their diet relied more on lower trophic levels such as plant detritus. This study increases our understanding of contaminant accumulation along an invasion gradient, offering insights for management practices to minimise ecological impacts to other trophic levels.
A novel approach to the herbarium digitisation workflow
Authors: Novikov Andriy , Nachychko Viktor
Published: February 2025

The digitisation workflow currently applied at the herbarium of the State Museum of Natural History of the NAS of Ukraine (LWS) differs from other similar by cascade ('object-to-data-to-image') multilevel organisation. Its application is predicted by the need to preselect specimens by taxon and region, as well as by batched digitisation, which occurs with significant interruptions. Focusing on certain taxonomic groups from specific regions allows to digitise specimens that could be more valuable for early scientific processing. At the same time, the herbarium benefits from such a digitisation model by revising the existing collection classification and keeping the initial ID system. Represented digitisation workflow can be easily reproduced in any herbarium with a limited budget. Provided schemas and notes will help maintain the digitisation, choose appropriate equipment and materials, and pay attention to critical aspects.
The Impact of Purism on the Development of the Slovene Standard Language
Authors: Thomas George
Published: February 2025

Purism has played a significant role throughout the history of written Slovene. It has been directed at both external and internal threats to the language. Chief among the former have been German, the dominant language of the region, which has influ- enced the Slovene vernacular at all linguistic levels, and Serbo-Croatian, which served as the de-facto idiom of inter-ethnic communication in the former Yugoslavia. Xeno- phobic purism has succeeded in removing most German loanwords from the standard language and replacing them with loanwords from other Slavic languages and calques. Inasmuch as the majority of the German loanwords have been retained in the spoken vernacular this has had the net effect of distancing the standard language from the respective vernacular. On the other hand, the attempt to remove the numerous syntactic and phraseological calques based on German models has been generally unsuccessful in practical terms. However, the puristic reaction to these covert influences has served an important symbolic function in emphasizing a sense of Slovene linguistic identity in the linguistic consciousness of the Slovene speech community. Serbo-Croatian lexical elements, on the other hand, have posed a particularly intractable problem for Slovene purists. This was primarily because in the nineteenth century the Croatian abstract lexicon played a major part in providing standard Slovene with acceptable replacements for internationalisms and Germanisms. Secondly, because of a common involvement in Yugoslavia and the close genetic relationship between Slovene and Serbo-Croatian it was often difficult in practice to identify Serbo-Croatian material in Slovene with any degree of certainty. Indeed, a systematic, dispassionate identification of such material remains as one of the many tasks confronting Slovene scholarship in the years of political independence. Internally, purists have at various times attempted to archaize and Slavicize the orthography and morphology of the standard language. This has fostered a spirit of hypercorrection and pendantry in some Slovene linguistic circles. On the other hand, the strain of ethnographic purism, which goes back to the seminal figure of Jernej Kopitar, has served as an antidote to both archaization and Slavization of Slovene by seeking justification for the norms of standard Slovene in the contemporary dialects. This helps to explain why puristic intervention in standard Slovene can be generally characterized as moderate and free of excesses. Nevertheless, it is equally clear that the puristic debate, which has resounded in the times of Trubar, Kopitar, Cop, and Pregeren right down to the present day, will continue to be a significant factor as the Slovene standard language seeks to define its role on the new socio-political stage of the Slovene-speaking territory.
Slovensko-angleška protistavna analiza nedoločnika v vlogi osebkovega oz. povedkovega določila
Authors: Kocijančič Pokorn Nike , Šuštaršič Rastislav
Published: February 2025

Protistavna analiza nedoločnika v vlogi osebkovega določila oz. povedkovega določila je skušala ugotoviti, katere so najpogostejše strukture v slovenščini, ki ohranjajo ali zamenjujejo angleški nedoločnik v tej vlogi v leposlovnih besedilih. Osnovni korpus za analizo je sestavljalo pet angleških leposlovnih besedil in njihovih prevodov v slovenščino. Za predstavitev rezultatov analize je bilo potrebno uvesti nov izraz osebkovo določilo kot prevedek izraza ‘subject complement', ker strokovno izrazje in klasifikacja angleškega slovničnega sistema ne ustrezata v celoti slovnični terminologiji in določitvam, ki so se uveljavile v slovenskem prostoru.
Osnovne hipoteze protistavne analize, ki je primerjala rabo nedoločnika v vlogi osebkovega določila v angleških besedilih z ustreznicami v slovenskih prevodih, so bile, da v določenih primerih raba nedoločnika v slovenščini popolnoma ustreza rabi v angleščini, da v določenih primerih rabe nedoločnika v angleščini v slovenščini ne moremo uporabiti nedoločnika, temveč navadno uporabimo osebno glagolsko obliko v prostem ali odvisnem stavku ter da v slovenščini pogosteje segamo po osebni glagolski obliki tudi v primerih, ko je možno uporabiti bodisi nedoločnik bodisi osebno glagolsko obliko.
Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da je raba nedoločnika v vlogi osebkovega določila redka že v angleških leposlovnih besedilih, še bolj pa v prevodih leposlovnih besedil v slovenščini. V skladu s prvo podmeno se je izkazalo, da v slovenskih prevodih leposlovnih besedil v določenih primerih raba nedoločnika popolnoma ustreza rabi v angleščini. Prav tako so rezultati potrdili predvidevanje, da v določenih primerih rabe nedoločnika v angleščini prevajalci uporabljajo v slovenščini osebno glagolsko obliko v prostem ali odvisnem stavku. In končno, dejstvo, da prevajalci raje segajo po osebni glagolski obliki v prevodu tudi takrat, ko bi bil prevod z nedoločnikom sprejemljiv, je potrdilo pričakovano večjo pogostnost osebne glagolske oblike v slovenskih prevedkih angleškega nedoločnika v vlogi osebkovega določila.
S-/Z- and the Grammaticalization of Aspect in Slavic
Authors: Dickey Stephen M.
Published: February 2025

It is argued that the phonetic coalescence of *sъ- and *jьz into a single prefix resulted in the (partial) grammaticalization of innovative s-/z- as the primary préverbe vide of the aspectual systems in a group of western languages (Czech, Slovak, Sorbian, Slovene). The other Slavic languages either did not grammaticalize a single prefix (Croatian/Serbian) or have grammaticalized po- as their sole or primary préverbe vide (Russian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Ukrainian, Belarusian); one Slavic language has near equal productivity of s-/z- and po- (Polish).

Πόλεμος μείζων πάντων τῶν προγεγονότων – Der römische Bundesgenossenkrieg in der Darstellung des Diodorus Siculus
Authors: Heftner Herbert
Published: February 2025

Zusammenfassung: Der Aufsatz behandelt die Darstellung des römischen Bundesgenossenkrieges in Diodors Historischer Bibliothek wie sie sich aus den erhaltenen Resten des Werkes ergibt. Auf der Basis einer Interpretation der wichtigeren Fragmente wird versucht, die charakteristischen Züge von Diodors Bundesgenossenkriegsdarstellung herauszuarbeiten, so z.B. ihre vornehmlich moralistische Ausrichtung, die sich mit einem anthropologischen Interesse an der menschlichen Natur verbindet. Dementsprechend weist Diodors Erzählung eine starke Neigung auf, die Episoden des Krieges als moralische Exempel oder als Belege für die das menschliche Verhalten bestimmenden Impulse darzustellen. Diese moralistische Grundhaltung prägte nicht nur die Gestaltung einzelner Episoden, sondern auch die Gesamtbewertung des Krieges in Diodors Geschichtserzählung: Der römisch-italische Konflikt ist in ihr in ein Schema von moralischer Degeneration und teilweiser Wiedergesundung des römischen Volkes eingefügt, wobei erstere als durch materiellen Überfluss und das Fehlen ernsthafter Herausforderungen herbeigeführt, zweitere als durch die existentielle Krise des Bundesgenossenkrieges bewirkt dargestellt ist. Diesem Schema entsprechend scheinen bei Diodor die militärischen Erfolge der Römer herausgestrichen und als eigentlicher Grund für Roms schließlichen Sieg präsentiert worden zu sein, während die politischen Initiativen der Römer (z.B. die lex Iulia) in den Hintergrund treten.

Traduit et retraduit: Anna Seghers’ Der Ausflug der toten Mädchen in französischer Erst- und Neuübersetzung
Authors: Sanmann Angela
Published: February 2025

Das in Frankeich neu aufgekommene Interesse an der Autorin Anna Seghers hat sich in den letzten Jahren vor allem auf ihre Romane Transit und Das siebte Kreuz gerichtet. Dabei verdienen auch ihre Erzählungen einen neuen Zugang aus der historischen Distanz. Wie bedeutsam die Divergenzen zwischen einer Erst- und einer Neuübersetzung sein können, zeigt sich beispielhaft in der vergleichenden Lektüre zweier französischer Versionen der Novelle Der Ausflug der toten Mädchen von Joël Lefebvre und Hélène Roussel. Die Übersetzungen von Lefebvre und Roussel unterscheiden sich signifikant darin, wie sie das Übereinanderblenden verschiedener Zeitebenen im Französischen wiederzugeben versuchen. Auch im Umgang mit dem von Seghers kritisch zitierten NS-Vokabular zeigen sich unterschiedliche Lösungsansätze. Die bewegte, auch von Zensur in der DDR begleitete Editionsgeschichte der Erzählung trägt zudem dazu bei, dass die beiden französischen Übersetzungen divergierende Zugänge zu Seghers’ Werk eröffnen.
Penser les conditions d’une normativité blanche, hétéro-masculine et bourgeoise dans les montagnes Rocheuses (États-Unis)
Authors: Saumon Gabrielle
Published: February 2025

Cet article propose une réflexion sur les manières de penser les dominations à l’intersection des rapports de classe, de race et de genre dans les montagnes Rocheuses aux États-Unis. Nécessairement situé à l’intersection de plusieurs champs disciplinaires, le texte avance des pistes réflexives pour tenter d’identifier les mécanismes par lesquels se constitue l’hégémonie d’un corps normatif blanc, hétéro-masculin et bourgeois dans ce territoire emblématique de la wilderness et des sports de pleine nature. Dépassant l’approche par les classes sociales, il s’agit alors de soumettre, comme de nouvelles strates analytiques, des axes de réflexion complémentaires, à partir notamment d’une épistémologie renouvelée des sports de nature et des espaces de montagne grâce à des travaux éclairant les questions raciales et les questions de genre.
La vie des Noir·es dans les montagnes : race et représentation dans un domaine littéraire américain émergent
Authors: Harrison Anthony Kwame
Published: February 2025

Dans cet article, je me penche sur l’émergence d’une tradition littéraire en cours de développement, axée sur les Afro-Américain·es vivant dans les régions montagneuses. Dans ce contexte, je discute de l’apparition du terme « Affrilachien·ne » - combinant Africain·e(-Américain·ne) et Appalachien·ne - en tant qu’identité montagnarde noire américaine singulière. Je passe également en revue trois livres publiés après les années 1970, écrits par des auteurices afro-américain·es au cours de différentes décennies. Ceux-ci ont été choisis car ils illustrent de manière emblématique le développement de ce champ littéraire : The Chaneysville Incident (1981) de David Bradley, Colored People (1994) de Henry Louis Gates Jr et The Birds of Opulence (2016) de Crystal Wilkerson. Ces trois ouvrages présentent des visions alternatives de l’appartenance des personnes noires aux montagnes et de la façon dont elles négocient les structures racistes qui ont historiquement œuvré pour nier leurs liens avec elles. En retraçant les différences entre les trois livres, je souligne une progression constante vers des attachements plus libératoires et affectifs à la terre. Pour finir, je soutiens que l’émergence de cette nouvelle tradition littéraire, centrée sur la vie montagnarde de la population noire, affirme et fait progresser les liens ancestraux des Afro-Américain·es avec les montagnes, et ouvre la voie à la reconnaissance de leur place contemporaine parmi elles.
Cohabiter en alpage : entre tensions, imaginaires et réalités de bergèr·es, gardien·nes de refuge et pratiquant·es d’activités récréatives
Authors: Ribert Myriam , Crouzat Émilie , Bourdeau Philippe , Andrade Victor , Dodier Hermann
Published: February 2025

Lieu de passage et de croisement, la montagne et ses alpages sont des espaces où cohabitent une multitude de protagonistes. Ces paysages, aujourd’hui convoités par les pratiquant·es d’activités récréatives en quête de nature, de dépaysement et de déconnexion, voient leurs usages se diversifier. Dans leurs refuges et alpages, les gardien·nes et les bergèr·es se retrouvent en première ligne comme témoins de ces évolutions. Dans l’obligation de s’adapter pour composer avec le multi-usage des lieux, elles et ils deviennent, volontairement ou par défaut, des acteurices incontournables de la cohabitation en montagne, laquelle ne se produit pas sans tensions. En effet, les multiples usages et pratiques de ces espaces — récréatifs et pastoraux — peuvent se chevaucher et parfois entrer en conflit. Dans ces « lieux-mouvements » que sont les alpages, l’appropriation spatiale est précaire et constamment remise en question par de nouveaux et nouvelles arrivant·es, ce qui oblige les acteurices des alpages à renégocier leur place tout comme leurs pratiques, identités et représentations de l’espace. En explorant trois sites alpins, l’enquête1 menée en 2023 par les dispositifs Alpages Sentinelles et Refuges Sentinelles souligne la dimension conflictuelle de la cohabitation. Entre rapports de force et compromis, l’imaginaire récréatif dominant prend le pas sur une montagne pastorale méconnue et parfois invisible. Dans un contexte de pressions touristiques et climatiques qui s’accentuent, où les acteurices peuvent se sentir isolé·es, les frontières qui se dessinent risquent de s’amplifier au même titre que le besoin de dialogue et de médiation-éducation.
La montagne (s)élective

Published: February 2025

Y a-t-il des inégalités sociales d’accès à la « montagne proche », celle des randonnées à la journée ou de quelques jours avec nuitées en tente ou en refuge ? Sont-elles si fortes que les marcheur·ses qui se croisent sur les chemins de montagne et qui se rencontrent dans et aux abords des refuges possèdent des profils sociaux extrêmement homogènes ? Ou bien la « montagne proche » amène-t-elle à se côtoyer des personnes de milieux sociaux différents, aux approches et aux représentations de la montagne potentiellement antagoniques ? Et que se passe-t-il alors ? Pour répondre à ces questions, l’article s’appuie sur les résultats d’une enquête réalisée entre 2015 et 2017 principalement dans et autour de deux refuges accessibles en quelques heures depuis les villes adjacentes, l’un pyrénéen et l’autre alpin, en mobilisant des méthodes mixtes (questionnaire, entretien, observation, analyse de corpus documentaires). La première partie montre que le maintien d’inégalités d’accès aux refuges n’exclut pas des logiques de différenciation sociale des caractéristiques des pratiquants et de leurs usages. La seconde partie explore d’abord les façons dont ces logiques articulent de manière complexe les goûts de la performance (« transpirer »), de la nature (« contempler ») et de la sociabilité (« partager »). Puis elle établit comment les rapports de domination qui produisent cet espace social particulier se perçoivent au travers de tensions entre usagèr·es, dont les discours structurés par des oppositions entre « eux » et « nous » retraduisent dans la montagne des rapports sociaux de classes élaborés dans d’autres sphères sociales et d’autres espaces. L’analyse montre finalement que du fait de la domination d’un type d’usagèr·es (appartenant aux fractions diplômées des classes favorisées) et d’un type distinctif d’usages de la montagne (mêlant ascèse sportive, ressourcement et sociabilité cultivée), celle-ci est à la fois le lieu d’une opposition entre des usages socialement différenciés, et celui du maintien d’un usage légitime dominant qui tend à occulter les autres.

Authors: Abeygoonawardena H. , De Silva A. D. , Wijesinghe N. , Navaratne V.
Published: February 2025

This case report examines the diagnostic challenges in distinguishing chikungunya fever from dengue fever in a 25-year-old male living in a dengue-endemic area. This patient presented with high-grade fever, severe arthralgia, and myalgia, exhibiting symptoms which are common to both diseases. At the initial stage, despite being negative for dengue nonstructural protein 1(NS1) antigen test, the patient was managed as having dengue fever. However, the persistence of symptoms led to additional testing, and the results of chikungunya-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing became positive, confirming the diagnosis of chikungunya virus infection. The patient was subsequently managed for chikungunya. This case emphasizes the significance of maintaining a heightened suspicion for chikungunya, especially in instances with negative dengue NS1 antigen tests.
