'Inflación y competitividad de la economía española
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, Raymond José L.
Published: February 2025

El trabajo presenta la definición y evolución de un índice agreqado de competítívidad de la economía española frente a los países de la Europa de los doce. El índice se confecciona sobre la base de comparar los costes unitarios de producción intemos con los precios exteriores expresados en pesetas. Se concluye que entre 1987 y 1990 la economía española ha experimentado una acusada pérdida de competitividad resultante de la indeseable mezcla de inflación diferencial positiva, y de una política fiscal expansivo y monetaria contractíva que impulsó al alza la cotización de la peseta. Una consecuencia de ello es la destrucción de parte del tejido productivo industrial que se ha producido en los últimos años.
La política económica del Gobierno Central y su incidencia en el País Vasco
Authors:   Universidad del País Vasco, Gallastegui Zulaica Mª Carmen
Published: February 2025

El artículo pasa revista a la política económica diseñada por el Gobierno Central (en su vertiente monetaria y fiscal) al objeto de dilucidar las consecuencias de la misma para la economía de la Comunidad Autónoma de Euskadi. El período temporal analizado es reducido (1989-92) pero rico en acontecimientos económicos. El trabajo mantiene que la política económica diseñada, fundamentalmente antiinflacionísta, sólo ha tenido efecto allí donde realmente podía tenerlo (el sector industrial) y debía haber sido acompañada de medidas que ayudaran a potenciar la capacidad productiva del sistema. Se mantiene también que el frustrado Pacto de competitividad, que representó una demostración inequívoca de la intención del Gobierno de modificar en parte el diseño de su política, hubiera permitido afrontar el cambio de coyuntura en condiciones más favorables.
Evaluación del Parlamento Vasco (1990-1994): Una aplicación de la teoría de juegos
Authors:   Universidad del País Vasco, Mauleón Ana C.
Published: February 2025

En este trabajo se analizan distintos índices de poder y se aplican al Parlamento y a las Diputaciones Vascas para medir el poder de cada partido representado en estas instituciones. Poder que no es proporcional al número de escaños de cada partido sino función de su capacidad para lograr que una decisión sea adoptada, la cual depende de cómo se distribuyen los escaños entre los restantes partidos políticos. Mediante estas aplicaciones se intentará explicar la racionalidad de¡ primer Gobierno Vasco de coalición tras las elecciones de 1990 y el porqué de su ruptura tras las elecciones de 1991 a Juntas Generales; ruptura que supuso la constitución del actual gobierno. Finalmente, se contrastan los índices de poder obtenidos para cada uno de ellos con el poder económico real de los partidos miembros de estos dos gobiernos, medido en función de las dotaciones presupuestarias manejadas por cada partido en sus respectivos Departamentos.

Adequate understanding of plant-pollinator dynamics should be included in any planning of urban green areas so that pollinator biodiversity is supported. Among the factors contributing to plant-pollinator dynamics, this preliminary study specifically examined the impact of corolla tube dimensions on the frequency of insect visitations for foraging. This was accomplished by measuring the corolla dimensions of different Asteraceae species within Ridley Park, UK, and conducting 36 days of non-consecutive observational surveys. Insect identity and visitation frequency to forage on the focal Asteraceae species were recorded. Insect visitors were categorised into three broad taxonomic groups according to comparative proboscis lengths: bumblebees (longer), flies (shorter), and other insects (various; control). The results revealed that Diptera (flies) accounted for the majority of visits, with significant associations found between fly visitation rates and shorter corolla tube lengths/widths. For bumblebees, although trends suggested a potential association between increased visitation rates and larger corolla sizes, no statistically significant relationships were observed for either ray or disk corolla tube lengths. The findings indicate that corolla morphology may play a role in shaping insect foraging in urban green areas. By increasing plant diversity, particularly by incorporating species with a range of corolla dimensions, it may be possible to support a broader spectrum of pollinators. These insights can assist urban park authorities in selecting plant species that promote pollinator biodiversity, contributing to healthier and more resilient urban ecosystems.

Published: February 2025

One of the reproductive health issues of concern is cancer. Cancer is one of the causes of death in the world. Ovarian cancer is known as the sillent killer because in the early stages of the disease does not show early symptoms. Ovarian cancer is a deadly malignant disease in gynaecology, and one of the most malignant causes of death in the world. Maternal age and parity are several types of factors that can affect the incidence of ovarian cancer. This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal age and parity with the incidence of ovarian cancer at H. Adam Malik Medan Hospital in 2023. Methods: This study is a Cross Sectional study. The sample in this study was 79 women of childbearing age in the H. Adam Malik Hospital room with a ratio of 2: 1, namely 79 case groups (WUS with Ovarian Cancer) taken using simple random technique. Data analysis technique using Chi-Square Results: Based on the frequency of mothers whose age is at risk of ovarian ca as many as 27 respondents (52.9%), then in mothers with age who are not at risk as many as 9 respondents (32.1%). Then in mothers with no ovarian ca parity at risk as many as 15 respondents (41.1%) and in mothers with parity who are not at risk as many as 19 respondents (67.9%). The results of the Chi Square test obtained a p value of 0.124, this indicates that there is no significant relationship with parity on the incidence of ovarian ca at the Adam Malik Hajj Hospital in 2023. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it shows that mothers with at-risk age (>40 years) and mothers with at-risk parity (≤ 0 and >2) are more prone to ovarian cancer.

Neuromuscular adaptations to plyometric exercises in late-phase ACL reconstruction rehabilitation: A case report
Authors: Fadhilah Siti , Pristianto Arif , Mardianto Halim
Published: February 2025

Postanterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction rehabilitation poses significant challenges in restoring optimal neuromuscular function and athletic performance.This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of a structured plyometric exercise protocol on muscle strength, dynamic balance, and functional outcomes in young athletes who underwent ACL reconstruction. A single-case study of a 16-year-old male soccer athlete who underwent right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction was conducted. The intervention comprised three sessions of progressive plyometric exercises over a seven-day period. Outcomes were assessed via a modified sphygmomanometer test for muscle strength, the Y balance test for dynamic balance, and the Tegner Lysholm knee scoring scale for functional ability. Knee flexor strength improved from 50 to 100 mmHg (100% increase), and extensor strength increased from 110 to 130 mmHg (18.2% increase). The dynamic balance composite score increased from 88% to 108%. The functional performance on the Tegner-Lysholm scale improved from 90 to 95 points, primarily because of reduced pain scores. This case demonstrates that a structured plyometric exercise protocol may effectively improve muscle strength, dynamic balance, and functional performance during late-stage ACL rehabilitation. These findings suggest the potential utility of return-to-sport protocols, although large-scale investigations are warranted.

Rap al Caudillo Trend: TikTok’s Queer Subversion of Spanish National Imagery
Authors: Aguilera Martínez Paula
Published: February 2025

After its peak in popularity, TikTok has become one of the preferred platforms for users of all ages and cultural backgrounds. Due to its extremely accurate and personalized algorithm, the application has generated a phenomenon that allows us to explore new horizons in the formation of online communities. With the implementation of sounds, users can find profiles of other users with whom they share more than a single interest. By using someone else’s voice in a lip-sync or an acting scenario, users can connect on the basis of broader life experiences, shared feelings, or other references. Consequently, certain sounds are more likely to be used by similar users, creating various subgroups based on repeated topics, such as experiences of queerness. In Spain, queer TikTok has become a space for activism and for sharing personal stories of resilience.
Currently, the main representative of non-binary identities in national media is Samantha Hudson, a multidisciplinary artist and performer known for their controversial lyrics and out-of-context social media content. One of Samantha’s singles, “Por España,” released on the National Day of Spain, or Día de la Hispanidad, in 2021, uses deep-rooted national imaginary to depict a rise in extreme-right militancy linked with an increase in homophobic and transphobic aggression in Spain. Part of this song, in which the artist refers to Spanish dictator Francisco Franco with subversive lyrics that pay homage to people killed in the Spanish Civil War, became one of the most popular TikTok trends among the national LGBTQ+ community. The videos under the sound Rap al Caudillo feature normative moves from other dance challenges in the mainstream heterosexual spheres of the app to enhance the powerful lyrics as a way of reclaiming space not only on the platform but also in Spanish national culture and imagery. Moreover, this article aims to show how the trend epitomizes Generation Z humor. In sum, this article proposes an analysis of the impact of Hudson’s “Por España” and the subsequent TikTok trend that evidences the impact of internet culture in Gen Z’s humor and empowerment.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus represents a significant public health challenge, however, the current trends in its epidemiology remain incompletely characterized. This study aimed to analyze epidemiological changes and demographic patterns in diabetes incidence and prevalence across the United States from 1990 to 2024.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study utilizing the TriNetX Global Health Research Network, analyzing de-identified electronic health records from 52,922,301 patients across 92 U.S. healthcare organizations. Time-based changes in disease trends regarding diabetes incidence and prevalence were targeted, and stratified by age, sex, race, and diabetes type.
Results: Combined diabetes incidence increased from 3.98 per 1,000 in 1990-1994 to 60.98 per 1,000 in 2020-2024, while prevalence doubled from 6.26% to 12.00%. T2DM showed a twenty-fold increase in incidence (3.52 to 59.30 per 1,000), while T1DM peaked at 7.46 per 1,000 in 2010-2014 before declining to 4.59 per 1,000. Significant disparities were observed across demographic groups, with the highest rates among Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders (incidence: 94.75 per 1,000; prevalence: 20.65%) and consistent male predominance (incidence: 69.40 vs 54.07 per 1,000).
Conclusions: These findings reveal concerning trends in diabetes epidemiology, characterized by a prominent and significant elevation in disease burden and persistent demographic disparities. The results call for the urgent need for optimized preventive strategies, targeted interventions for high-risk populations, and systematic changes in healthcare delivery to address this growing public health challenge effectively.

Given the rapid urbanisation, acceleration of the anthropogenic transformation of landscapes and the escalating ecological imperatives facing India, robust and effective green building codes have become paramount in ensuring sustainable housing development. This paper reviews the effect of the development of green building codes on sustainable housing across India, especially as far as their compliance with SDGs. While prior literature targets policy formulation, more attention should be paid to researching the policy impacts and the difficulties in the corresponding policies’ implementation. To evaluate the effectiveness of the Green Buildings codes, the study uses systematic review of literature and policy documents, which works hand-in-hand with qualitative analysis. The research hypothesis posits that in regions having policies closely aligned with SDGs, there has been greater development of policies of sustainability and these areas exhibit enhanced development of policies and sustainability outcomes as evidenced by development of codes on maintaining resilience, environmental performance, and socio-economic equity This relationship is basis of the study hence the question; what factors enhance the potential for improved sustainability outcomes in green building codes aligned with SDGs? Research evidence indicates that despite intended high ambitions in formulation of codes, the eventual effectiveness is negated by weak operational compliance and geographical inequalities. This research forms part of a broader investigation into specific sections of the green building codes, covering energy efficiency, material utilisation, urban planning, and green space development. The study offers policy implications to policy makers and maps out a general guideline to enhance the implementation of sustainable features in housing delivery systems across the country.
An innovative deep learning method for IoT malware identification
Authors:   Department of Information Engineering, Shijiazhuang University of Applied Technology, ShiJiaZhuang 050000, China, Zhang Yan
Published: February 2025

In the realm of information security, malware detection in IoT environments is crucial. This research proposes a heterogeneous graph network based malware classification model to enhance the detection and categorization of sophisticated malware samples. The model is composed of five primary modules: a module for building heterogeneous graphs; a module for generating random wandering sequences; an aggregation module based on LSTM; a module for wandering based on attention mechanisms; and a module for classification and prediction. Initially, a heterogeneous graph comprising API and malware nodes is built, and using random wandering, the associations between far-off nodes are obtained to improve the representation of node features. Next, using the attention mechanism, LSTM is utilized to aggregate the data of nodes on various paths, learn how different paths affect nodes, and ultimately output the node categorization results through the linear layer. The model performs better in terms of precision, recall, and F1 value than conventional techniques like Node2Vec, GCN, and GraphSAGE, according to the trials done on the APIMDS and Mal-API-2019 datasets. Furthermore, by inserting, removing, and changing pointless API calls, robustness tests are carried out to confirm the model’s resilience to malware variants.
Wealth: A Family Matter
Authors: Bessière Céline , Pugliese Maude
Published: February 2025

Research framework:
Over the past decade, social science research has been
profoundly renewed by the measurement of socioeconomic inequalities, which
no longer takes into account only socio-professional status, labor income,
or qualifications, but also wealth. Family matters for inheriting wealth,
saving it, or accumulating it through returns on investments. The
accumulation of wealth brings into play the three major dimensions of
kinship: descent, siblingship, and alliance.

Objectives:
To establish a dialogue between the literature on
socio-economic inequalities and the social sciences of the
family.

Methodology:
This introductory article is based on a literature review of
various social science disciplines in economics, sociology, demography,
history, anthropology, political philosophy and law.

Results:
This issue of the journal
Enfances Familles Générations
is a plea for the social sciences to take into account both
family ties and family assets, based on the concrete issues of inheritance,
marriage, indebtedness and home ownership. Inheritance, its accumulation,
preservation and transmission are, in fact, concerns within families of all
social backgrounds.

Conclusion:
Family dynamics - in interaction with the multiple actors in
the family field - play a part in structuring economic inequalities within
the family (especially gender inequalities) and between families (especially
class- and race-based inequalities). But exploring inequalities in asset and
debt also provides a better understanding of family relationships, since
wealth participates in the making of the family.

Contribution:
This introductory article affirms the importance of studying
family wealth strategies across all social classes, and of multiplying the
historical, national and cultural contexts of study.
Travail de la dette et inégalités de
patrimoine : perspective de genre
Authors: Henchoz Caroline , Coste Tristan , Suppa Anna
Published: February 2025

Cadre de la recherche
 : Les études existantes s’accordent sur le fait que le
travail rattaché à la gestion des dettes et de leurs conséquences est
majoritairement pris en charge par les femmes. On sait que ce travail de la
dette implique plus de privations et de sacrifices, mais on ne connait pas ses
effets sur le patrimoine féminin.

Objectifs :
Cet article identifie des processus expliquant le lien entre le travail de la
dette et l’érosion du patrimoine des femmes.

Méthodologie : Cet article s’appuie sur 44 entretiens semi-directifs menés
en Suisse auprès de personnes surendettées en couple avec ou sans enfants dans
le cadre de deux recherches sur l’endettement financées par le Fonds national
suisse de la recherche scientifique (2016-2022).

Résultats
 : Nous montrons que la prédominance
féminine dans le travail de la dette peut s’expliquer par le fait que ce dernier
n’est pas qu’un travail financier et administratif. Il est vécu comme un travail
de care parental et conjugal. Le souci et la
préservation du bien-être des membres de la famille, tout spécialement des
enfants, conduit les femmes à y investir leur propre patrimoine. Perçu comme un
moyen de « faire du genre » (doing gender) dans une
situation de surendettement en agissant comme une « bonne » mère et conjointe,
ce travail et les inégalités qu’il produit ne sont pas remises en
question.

Conclusion : La financiarisation de
la vie quotidienne implique de nouvelles formes de travail financier, comme le
travail de la dette, qui participent à renforcer les inégalités patrimoniales au
sein de la famille, le patrimoine masculin et celui des enfants étant préservé
au détriment du patrimoine des femmes. En ce sens, les patrimoines individuels
des membres de la famille ont des significations différentes, le patrimoine des
femmes étant une variable d’ajustement en cas de difficultés économiques
permettant de maintenir le statut familial et les bonnes relations
familiales.

Contribution : En portant sur les
charges financières assumées par les femmes, cet article propose une nouvelle
clé de compréhension des processus genrés de constitution des inégalités de
patrimoine qui jusque-là ont surtout porté sur l’accès genré à l’argent et à
l’héritage.
Le patrimoine des célibataires nobles :
au service du patrilignage (France, xvii
e-xviii
e siècles)
Authors: Eyméoud Juliette
Published: February 2025

Cadre de recherche : Les familles nobles
du xvii
e siècle français, en
limitant le nombre de mariages par génération, ont créé une grande quantité de
célibataires, hommes comme femmes. L’idéologie patrilinéaire s’est imposée et a
fait reculer les velléités égalitaires qui animait la noblesse des siècles
précédents. Les individus célibataires, majoritairement des cadet‧te‧s, ont vu
leurs parts d’héritage réduites ou transformées, dans l’objectif de laisser aux
mains des aînés mâles le patrimoine familial.

Objectifs : Cet article souhaite interroger l’adhésion des célibataires à
cette idéologie patrilinéaire. En acceptant l’ordre successoral inégalitaire et
en participant activement au bien-être financier du lignage, femmes et hommes
célibataires semblent avoir intériorisé leur condition subalterne, tout en
développant une haute conscience de leur rôle de pilier économique.

Méthodologie : Cet article propose une étude
qualitative d’hommes et femmes célibataires né‧e‧s entre la fin du xvi
e et la fin du xvii
e siècle, dans quatre familles
de la noblesse française. Il s’appuie sur des sources notariales des xvii
e-xviii
e siècles, tels que des règlements
successoraux, des accords entre germains, des donations, des contrats de mariage
et des testaments.

Résultats : Les
célibataires transmettent leur héritage paternel aux aînés mâles, dans
l’objectif revendiqué de préserver le patrimoine lignager. Ils peuvent aussi
créer des donations et legs à destination de frères/sœurs célibataires ou de
neveux/nièces cadet‧te‧s, mais il s’agit le plus souvent de rentes viagères ou
d’héritages marginaux.

Conclusions : Les
célibataires mettent leur patrimoine au service du patrilignage, en favorisant
les aînés mâles et en participant au système compensatoire qui prend soin des
cadet‧te‧s, diminuant ainsi les risques de conflits familiaux.

Contribution : Cet article apportera un éclairage sur
l’histoire sociale de la noblesse et sur l’histoire familiale d’Ancien Régime.
Il permet de jeter la lumière sur les célibataires, des individus encore
méconnus.

Ancient emotions and the making of the colonial order: Aristotle, Aquinas and Vitoria on Anthropophagy
Authors: Osorio Ever E
Published: February 2025

In this paper I explore how Francisco de Vitoria interpreted the reported practice of anthropophagy by American Indians, through the mobilization of the emotional politics of disgust. I argue that by appealing to Aristotle’s arguments in Nichomachean Ethics, instead of his immediate interlocutor Aquinas, Vitoria’s underlying objective in his relection on Self-Restraint was to set the moral grounds for a legal and political order capable of justifying European (Spaniard) colonial settling. For instance, while Aquinas focuses on sin as the principle against to guide human action within a Christian telos, Vitoria places all his attention on licitness and legality as a principle to guide human behavior in the contingency of global encounter. By examining Vitoria’s analyses of anthropophagy as a vicious, unrestrained and barbaric practice, I show that the making of colonial reason was culturally regulated. Disgust as a political mechanism for producing hierarchy is an ancient emotion which was revisited by Vitoria for the crafting of a legal global order in a historical moment of European conquest. With this approach I show how the lawfulness and rightness of the colonial project depended not on the abstract formulation and application of international law, but on the emotional structure of the moral system behind it.

Abstract
This paper has three objectives. First, we establish that although Spain has attempted to distance itself from its role in the sub-saharan African slave trade and the significance blackness plays within its borders, there exists a significant population of people of African descent from Latin America living in Spain.  Second, we show Black people are living what Sadiyah Hartmann refers to as the afterlife of slavery in Latin America. We claim it is worthwhile to take into account that Afro-Latin Americans are fleeing to the country that is largely responsible for them being in Latin America and the conditions of the colonial legacy that is pushing them out of Latin America. Third, we examine the meaning of blackness in Spain today through historical and ethnographic analysis that show that Afro-Latin Americans are also living a social death in Spain.  Much of the data we provide in this paper is based on semi-structured interviews the authors have conducted in Spain, that is, semi-structured interviews of twenty-five Afro-Lastin American people who have lived in Spain. Our research, as it focuses on people of African descent from Latin America living in Spain, intentionally centers the voices, research and experiences of Black people. 
 
Resumen
Este papel tiene tres objetivos. En primer lugar, establecemos que, aunque España ha intentado distanciarse de su papel en el comercio de esclavos del África subsahariana y la importancia que tiene la negritud dentro de sus fronteras, existe una importante población de afrodescendientes de América Latina que vive en España. En segundo lugar, mostramos que los negros están viviendo lo que Sadiyah Hartmann llama el más allá de la esclavitud en América Latina. Decimos que vale la pena tomar en cuenta que los afrolatinoamericanos están huyendo al país que es en gran parte responsable de que estén en América Latina y las condiciones del legado colonial que los está empujando fuera de América Latina. En tercer lugar, examinamos el significado de la negritud en la España actual a través de análisis históricos y etnográficos que muestran que los afrolatinoamericanos también están viviendo una muerte social en España. Gran parte de los datos que proporcionamos en este artículo se basan en entrevistas semiestructuradas que los autores han realizado en España, es decir, entrevistas semiestructuradas a veinticinco personas afrolatinoamericanas que han vivido en España. Nuestra investigación, al centrarse en personas afrodescendientes de América Latina que viven en España, centra intencionalmente las voces, investigaciones y experiencias de las personas negras.

Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), an X-linked muscular dystrophy, is mostly caused by an in-frame deletion of
DMD
. BMD severity varies from asymptomatic to severe, associated with the genotype of
DMD
. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.We established BMD mice carrying three representative exon deletions: ex45–48 del., ex45–47 del., and ex45–49 del. (d45–48, d45–47 and d45–49), with high frequencies and different severities in the human BMD hotspot. All three BMD mice showed muscle weakness, muscle degeneration, and fibrosis, but these changes appeared at different times for each exon deletion, consistent with the severities obtained by the natural history study of BMD. BMD mice showed site-specific muscle changes, unlike
mdx
mice, which showed diffuse muscle changes, and we demonstrated selective type IIa fiber reduction in BMD mice. Furthermore, BMD mice showed sarcolemmal neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) reduction and morphological capillary changes around type IIa fibers.These results suggest that capillary changes caused by nNOS reduction may be associated with the mechanism of skeletal muscle degeneration and type IIa fiber reduction in BMD mice. BMD mice may be useful in elucidating the pathomechanisms and developing vascular targeted therapies for human BMD.
Nuclear Argonaute protein NRDE-3 switches small RNA partners during embryogenesis to mediate temporal-specific gene regulatory activity

RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved gene regulation mechanism that utilizes the Argonaute protein and their associated small RNAs to exert regulatory function on complementary transcripts. While the majority of germline-expressed RNAi pathway components reside in perinuclear germ granules, it is unknown whether and how RNAi pathways are spatially organized in other cell types. Here we find that the small RNA biogenesis machinery is spatially and temporally organized during embryogenesis. Specifically, the RNAi factor, SIMR-1, forms visible concentrates during mid-embryogenesis that contain an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, a poly-UG polymerase, and the unloaded nuclear Argonaute protein, NRDE-3. We also observe that many other RNAi factors form foci in embryonic cells distinct from “SIMR granules”, including the Argonaute protein CSR-1, underscoring a potential role for cytoplasmic concentrates of RNAi factors to promote gene regulation in embryos. Curiously, coincident with the appearance of the SIMR granules, the small RNAs bound to NRDE-3 switch from predominantly CSR-class 22G-RNAs to ERGO-dependent 22G-RNAs. Prior work has shown that NRDE-3 binds ERGO-dependent 22G-RNAs in the somatic cells of larvae and adults to silence ERGO-target genes; here we demonstrate that NRDE-3-bound, CSR-class 22G-RNAs repress transcription in oocytes. Thus, our study defines two separable roles for NRDE-3, targeting germline-expressed genes during oogenesis to promote global transcriptional repression, and switching during embryogenesis to repress recently duplicated genes and retrotransposons in somatic cells, highlighting the plasticity of Argonaute proteins and the need for more precise temporal characterization of Argonaute-small RNA interactions.

Here, two dinosaur teeth are discovered from the Lower Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation in Longcheng, Chaoyang, western Liaoning, China. This discovery marks a new fossil site for the Jehol Biota, characterized by three-dimensionally preserved fossils. Based on comprehensive morphological comparisons, the teeth can be assigned to Theropoda and early-diverging Titanosauriformes. The theropod tooth, with a preserved length of 47.8 mm, represents a distinct taxon separate from Sinotyrannus, which is the only known large theropod dinosaur from the Jiufotang Formation. The titanosauriform tooth represents the youngest sauropod record within the Jehol Biota. These findings contribute to an increased dinosaur diversity within the Jiufotang Formation from ten taxa to 12.

Western diets are a public health concern as excess intake of simple sugars and fatty foods, and consequently low consumption of fruits and vegetables, can contribute to obesity and other chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Due to the high prevalence of diseases related to Western diets, the objective of this study was to evaluate whether the inclusion of a novel fiber-rich complex could prevent high fat diet-induced weight gain, adiposity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and oxidative stress in young male Sprague-Dawley rats, Rattus norvegicus. The novel fiber complex contained a blend of bioactive ingredients: 27% flaxseed, 15.9% wheat bran, 14.8% wheat germ, 10% psyllium, 13.1% brewer’s yeast, and 19.2% grapeseed flour. The study included 24 6-week-old rats divided into three groups that were fed either a control diet (C; standard rodent maintenance diet) containing fiber (3.8%g diet); high-fat diet (H) containing Solka Floc cellulose fiber (6.46%g diet); or high-fat diet in which 5% of the diet was replaced with the novel fiber complex (HF) (total fiber: 5%g fiber complex + 6.14%g Solka Floc). Rats in all diet groups gained significant weight during the 6-week feeding period (p < 0.001) consistent with normal growth. Whereas no differences were observed for blood lipids or beta-hydroxybutyrate, consumption of the H diet significantly increased adiposity (p < 0.001), liver triglycerides (p < 0.001), and fasting whole blood glucose concentrations (p < 0.001) in comparison to the C diet. These effects of high fat consumption were not prevented by the inclusion of the novel fiber complex in this experimental design.
Effects of Steam Curing on Fly Ash-Based Concrete Performance: A Review
Authors: Xudong Meng
Published: February 2025

Steam curing is a method used to increase the strength of concrete at an early stage. Steam curing is based on applying hot water vapor at a certain temperature, and determining its constant temperature time and maximum temperature according to the characteristics, cost and production cycle of the target concrete. As a kind of cementing material, fly ash is more and more used in concrete. This study summarizes the previous literature on the effect of steam curing system on the performance of fly ash based concrete. The increase of fly ash content has obvious negative effects on the early compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and elastic modulus of concrete, while the early high temperature curing can significantly improve the early mechanical properties of fly ash based concrete. Concrete exposed to steam curing at low temperatures of 45°C to 80°C and for longer periods of time within a 24-hour cycle can achieve better concrete performance. By studying the effect of steam curing on fly ash base concrete, a suitable curing scheme is developed and applied in practical engineering.
