Authors: Syahraini Syurri Innaddinna , Kiswanjaya Bramma , Priaminiarti Menik , Bachtiar-Iskandar Hanna H
Published: February 2025

Background: Several factors must be considered when selecting the appropriate field of view (FOV) and voxel size for good image quality on Cone Beam Computed-Tomography (CBCT). The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that must be considered in selecting the appropriate FOV and voxel size to achieve good image quality according to the purpose of the examination.
Method: Articles in Q1 and Q2 journals published within the period from January 2016 to September 2021 were searched from Scopus and PubMed online using the keywords field of view/FOV in CBCT, voxel size in CBCT, and FOV and voxel size in CBCT. On the basis of the article selection criteria, 13 journals were included in the study. Also included in the study were several types of three-dimensional (3D) CBCT machines: Planmeca ProMaxÂ® 3D ProFaceTM, i-Cat Cone Beam 3D, Picasso Trio CBCT: Carestream unitÂ® CS 9300 CBCT, and Accuitomo F17D 3D CBCT.
Result: It is generally recommended that a 0.2 mm voxel size be used to detect periodontal disease, secondary caries, fractures, external resorption, and endodontic complications. Meanwhile, for root fractures with an intracanal metallic post and an anatomic isthmus in the root canal, a 0.1 mm voxel size is recommended to be used, and for evaluating the implant, 0.3 mm and 0.4 mm voxel sizes are recommended.
Conclusion: It was found in the review that most of the selected studies recommended using the smallest FOV available in the CBCT unit to detect pathological conditions and important anatomical structures.

Published: February 2025

This research examine the pioneering process of tourist villages in Kudus, by looking at management and capital that influence tourism development. This research used qualitative approach, with purposive sampling to determine research object and informants by looking at the criteria for 3 sub-districts that have the highest number of tourist villages. Researchers interviewed pioneer actors and tourism village managers and the surrounding community, supported by observational data. The results of this research show that there were differences and disparity in the development of tourist villages in North Kudus and South Kudus. It can be seen from the history of the establishment of tourism and management. The tourist village in North Kudus appears sporadically because there are quite a lot of private parties. This influences the management strategy which is investor-based with the support of financial capital and the sensitivity of actors (investors) in capturing natural potential and visiting opportunities (production center development). It was different from the Tourism Village in South Kudus which historically emerged because of collective awareness (social capital) to develop social activism and economic opportunities through tourism villages. Therefore managing natural and cultural potential carried out collectively by empowering local communities (people center development).

PNEUMONIA E VENTILAÇÃO MECÂNICA NA COVID-19: REVISÃO
Authors: Ferreira Cereser Eduardo Ferreira Cereser , Ricardo Siufi Magalhães  , Cintia Maria Saia Cereda
Published: February 2025

A pandemia de COVID-19 causou uma impactante transformação global. Diante desse cenário, diversos estudos foram conduzidos para compreender a biologia do vírus, sintomas, prevenção e tratamento da doença. Em casos graves, a ventilação mecânica é crucial para a sobrevivência, mas paradoxalmente, pode aumentar o risco de pneumonia associada à ventilação mecânica (PAV). Visa avaliar a ocorrência de PAV em pacientes contaminados com o SARS-CoV 2 através de uma revisão sistemática. As bases de dados SCIELO, PUBMED, UpToDate e ScienceDirect foram pesquisadas sistematicamente até início de 2023 para identificar artigos relevantes. A indagação central deste estudo foi direcionada à análise de trabalhos que abordam a PAV em pacientes com COVID-19, incluindo a identificação dos principais agentes causadores. Através das buscas foram recuperadas 44 publicações e, após aplicação dos critérios de seleção, e exclusão de estudos de artigo de revisão, 23 estudos foram incluídos.  Em metanálise realizada foi possível verificar que as bactérias mais prevalentes nos quadros de PAV foram: P. Aeruginosa (23,83%±0,12), Klebisiella sp. (21,78%±0,10) e S. Aureus (22,03%±0,11) e fungos foram: Aspergillus fumigatus (10,60%±0,07) e Candida spp. (24%±0,19). Com base em nossa revisão sistemática da literatura, há evidências de que os principais patógenos causadores da PAV em tempos de COVID 19 são oportunistas, os quais aproveitam-se das alterações celulares induzidas pela infecção por SARS-CoV-2 e da fragilidade imunológica para adquirirem patogenicidade. É válido ponderar também que a ventilação mecânica pode possibilitar a migração de microrganismos da microbiota das vias respiratórias superiores para as vias inferiores, sítios anômalos, desencadeando pneumonia.

Published: February 2025

Non-pharmacologically induced altered states of consciousness that promote mental health and wellbeing are a growing focus of clinical and basic research. Previous work has revealed the mood-augmenting, belief-altering, and self-transcendent effects of aesthetic-chills-inducing audiovisual stimulation. The current study investigated how a guided loving kindness meditation (LKM) combined with uplifting, chills-inducing music (henceforth: chills-augmented) affected participants' mood, self-transcendence (ST), psychological insight, and emotional breakthrough. We conducted a randomized, controlled online study (n=398) using a 2 x 2 design comparing a validated loving kindness meditation (LKM) to mindfulness-based control (MC), each with chills-augmentation (+) and without (-). As hypothesized, LKM, compared to MC, increased connectedness to others, while chills-augmentation to either stimulus (LKM+/MC+) enhanced ST, mood, emotional breakthrough, and psychological insight. Mediation analyses confirmed that the occurrence of aesthetic chills during meditation predicted the these downstream effects. They also found trait measures that independently (of main effects) contributed to distinct outcomes: absorption predicted feelings of ego-dissolution, connectedness to the world and self, and moral elevation; interoceptive awareness predicted ego-dissolution and connectedness to self; and vividness of internal imagery predicted connectedness to the world and others. This work can further our understanding of and access to non-ordinary experiences that beget salutogenic, prosocial outcomes.
Disentangling Model-Based and Model-Free Moral Learning
Authors: Tahmasebi Zahra , Maier Maximilian , Cheung Vanessa , Cushman Fiery Andrews , Lieder Falk
Published: February 2025

To resolve moral dilemmas, people often rely on one of two decision strategies: cost-benefit reasoning versus following moral rules. Previous studies on moral learning show that people learn to use the decision-making strategy that led to the best outcomes in the past. Do they learn this by constructing a mental model of what outcomes would result from using either strategy (i.e., model-based learning) or by assigning value directly to each strategy (i.e., model-free learning)? To answer this question, we adapted the two-step task to a trolley-type dilemma between following moral rules (saving a colleague) versus cost-benefit reasoning (protecting a larger group). In each of the 125 trials, participants’ choices led to either a common or a rare transition, which probabilistically led to good versus bad outcomes. Computational modeling and pre-registered analysis of behavioral data provided converging evidence that participants apply both model-based and model-free learning.
Diversity, Risk, and Prospect Theory: When Making the Business Case for Diversity is a Losing Proposition
Authors: Levy Aharon , Rodriguez Kyra , Phillips Katherine W. , Leslie Lisa , Cimpian Andrei , galinsky adam
Published: February 2025

The business case for diversity (i.e., the argument that diverse groups produce higher performance and profits than their homogenous counterparts) has become the predominant claim used to promote organizational diversity. The current research builds theory regarding when and why the business case for diversity increases versus decreases support for diversity. Drawing on Prospect Theory, we first demonstrate that increasing diversity is viewed as risky because diversity is perceived as having more upsides, but also more downsides, compared to homogeneity. Next, we theorize that, although the business case for diversity is typically framed in terms of the benefits that diversity offers (i.e., gain-frame), the business case is more likely to boost support for diversity when framed in terms of the losses that diversity can prevent (i.e., loss-frame). Finally, we theorize that because risk perceptions are the underlying mechanism, the differential effects of a gain versus loss framing for the business case are more likely to emerge when people have stronger perceptions of diversity as risky. Seven multi-method studies, including surveys, archival analyses, and experiments, support our model of diversity as risky and offer important insight into how to increase support for diversity.
Effortful leisure is a source of meaning in everyday life.
Authors: Campbell Aidan Vern , Depow Gregory John , Agarwal Srishti , Inzlicht Michael
Published: February 2025

People derive much purpose from their work, yet time spent on work is decreasing. Here, we ask if effortful leisure is a powerful source of meaning and purpose which could supplement the reduction in labor time. In four studies (N = 2,169), we investigated the relationship between effort and meaning in leisure activities. In Study 1, we found that participants rated effortful activities as more meaningful, although less enjoyable, suggesting a trade-off between eudaimonic and hedonic wellbeing. Studies 2a and 2b provided causal evidence by comparing effortful (Sudoku puzzling) and non-effortful leisure (watching videos). Effortful activities consistently felt more meaningful, though the effects plateaued at higher levels of effort. Finally, Study 3 used experience sampling to assess activities as they occurred in real life. Effortful leisure uniquely fosters meaning while maintaining enjoyment, whereas other activities tend to feel less enjoyable with increased effort. Across all studies, we found that effort promotes daily meaningful experiences, particularly in leisure contexts, where effort does not diminish enjoyment. Effortful leisure may offer a powerful opportunity to supplement or replace the once plentiful purpose we derived from our now diminishing time at work.

Published: February 2025

Chicken health is very important for the sustainability of the livestock business, considering that chicken meat is a popular and affordable commodity in Indonesia. However, many farmers still face difficulties in accurately diagnosing chicken diseases, especially with limited time and the number of experts in the field. Therefore, a system is needed that can help farmers diagnose diseases more efficiently. To overcome this problem, a web-based expert system was developed that uses the Certainty Factor method to diagnose chicken diseases. This system can be accessed online, allowing farmers to get a diagnosis and treatment advice quickly and easily, without relying on the presence of experts. With this system, it is expected to improve the accuracy of the diagnosis, reduce losses due to chicken diseases, and make it easier for farmers to maintain the health of their livestock. The results of this study indicate that the Certainty Factor method can be used well in detecting diseases in chickens. This is proven by the system's ability to predict chicken diseases according to the symptoms displayed, which have been structured based on predetermined rules
Text Comprehension in Persons with Aphasia
Authors: BP Abhishek
Published: February 2025

Comprehension problems are common in persons with aphasia. A person with aphasia may experience pronounced problems at the acute phase following which recovery would take place. However, it is noticed that persons with aphasia may experience subtle deficits in text comprehension owing to the fact that the reading comprehension would require or impose additional load on the memory systems and meta cognitive systems. Inferencing abilities is also important for text comprehension. The present study was carried out with the aim of studying text comprehension in persons with aphasia. 7 participants with aphasia (3 Broca’s, 2 anomic, 1 conduction and 1 Wernicke’s aphasia) and 10 neuro typical participants were considered. Text comprehension was assessed through polar and multiple choice questions. The performance of the participants varied for polar and multiple choice questions. The performance was better for polar questions compared to multiple choice questions. Multiple choice questions led to more confusions especially in persons with anomic aphasia.

Expansion of the raw material base of ferrous metallurgy depends to some extent on the creation of an effective technology for the complex processing of copper-magnetite ores with copper extraction. The article presents the results of studies of copper chlorination from CuS present in sulfide-magnetite ores using sodium chloride and boron trioxide. The studies were carried out in the temperature range of 500-1500 °C and a pressure of 0.1-0.001 bar by thermodynamic modeling using the HSC-10 software package based on the principle of minimum Gibbs energy. It was found that the interaction in the CuS-NaCl-B2O3-O2 system occurs with the formation of copper chlorides (Cu4Cl4, Cu3Cl3, Cu2Cl2, CuCl), sodium borates (Na2B4O6, Na2B6O10), Na2SO4, SO2(g). The temperature of the maximum (89-90%) degree of copper extraction into gaseous chlorides decreases from 1050 to 850°C with a decrease in pressure from 0.1 to 0.001 bar. It was found that the chloride sublimation of copper is accompanied by the formation of elemental copper and gaseous NaCl during the interaction of Cu3Cl3 with Na2B4O6.

Objective

Assessment of vegetables and fruits consumption by children and adolescents with excess body weight and diagnosed dyslipidemia before participating in the nutritional intervention program.

Material and Methods

The study included 64 children and adolescents (44 boys and 20 girls) aged 8-16 with overweight or obesity and dyslipidemia. These were patients of the Children’s Memorial Health Institute in Warsaw referred by a pediatrician to participate in the nutritional intervention program. Vegetables and fruits consumption was estimated based on a 3-day current food record and the validated Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ-6).

Results

The average consumption of total vegetables and fruits was 593±311 g, including 286±163 g of vegetables and 306±199 g of fruits (no differences in the groups with overweight and obesity, p>0.05). Compared to participants with overweight, patients with obesity consumed more vegetables per 1000 kcal of diet (p=0.034). In total, 41% of children and adolescents had a greater share of vegetables than fruits in meeting the recommendations (no differences between groups of participants with overweight or obesity, p>0.05). About half of the participants ate vegetables and fruits less than once a day. Raw vegetables and fruits were chosen more often than processed ones or juices.

Conclusions

Only 16% of children and adolescents with excess body weight and dyslipidemia before participating in the nutritional intervention program did not consume the recommended amounts of vegetables and fruits set at a minimum of 400 g. In nutritional education, special attention should be paid to promoting the consumption of several portions of vegetables and fruits every day, as well as their appropriate proportions.
La noción de indiferencia de la voluntad en la obra de Francisco Suárez, SJ.
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, González Rojo José Luis
Published: February 2025

ste artículo versa el problema filosófico y teológico de la libertad desde la perspectiva de la escolástica durante el periodo que abarca la segunda mitad del siglo XVI y la primera del siglo XVII. En el contexto de la reforma luterana y la disputa De Auxiliis, el jesuita Francisco Suárez trató de resolver el problema de la afirmación de la libertad del arbitrio humano frente a la predestinación y la gracia divinas, sentando las bases para una metafísica en la que la elección humana tiene su fundamento en la indiferencia de la voluntad, como cualidad esencial de todo ser racional. En este trabajo se estudia la obra filosófica y teológica de Suárez con la finalidad de comprender cómo sustenta este autor la libertad en la indiferencia de la voluntad como principio inherente a la naturaleza humana; dicho concepto permite distinguir la postura del autor respecto del determinismo de los reformistas como Martín Lutero y Juan Calvino, y de la teología de los dominicos tomistas en la que la gracia ejerce un influjo eficaz a pesar de los deseos de la voluntad del hombre. El pensamiento filosófico y teológico del autor concibe al hombre como un ser que puede responder libremente al llamado que Dios le hace para vivir con santidad en este mundo y alcanzar la vida eterna en el otro; pero es un llamado que la creatura puede rechazar, ya que no está determinado por Dios a responder tal vocación por ser un ente libre.
Alterofobia: el miedo a los demás como condición que imposibilita la generación de la bioética.

En este manuscrito se aborda la cuestión de la alterofobia, i.e., el miedo, el desprecio o la desconfianza a los otros, como el gran impedimento para que la bioética, entendida como diálogo creativo, pueda devenir un factor de creación y propuesta de soluciones probables a los problemas que surgen entre las ciencias de la vida y los valores morales. El diálogo bioético, que comienza al menos entre dos personas, debe ser inteligente, creativo, fértil e innovador, pero no podrá existir si en la base de las relaciones humanas imperala alterofobia.

The potential applications of epigenetic clocks are expanding in wildlife conservation and management. The pace at which they are being adopted highlights the need for field-specific design best practices. Epigenetic clocks were originally developed for human studies, presenting challenges for their adoption in wildlife research. Most notably, the estimated ages of sampled wildlife can be unreliable, and sampling restrictions limit the number and variety of available samples, which can reduce the accuracy of epigenetic clocks for wildlife. In this article, we present a detailed workflow for designing, validating, and applying wildlife epigenetic clocks in a way that accounts for sampling constraints. We provide recommendations for two main applications of wildlife epigenetic clocks: estimating unknown ages and assessing cumulative biological aging. Our simulations and analyses, applied to an extensive polar bear dataset from across the Canadian Arctic, demonstrate that accurate epigenetic clocks for wildlife can be constructed and validated with limited samples, accommodating projects with small budgets and sampling constraints. With our workflow and examples, we hope to make epigenetic clock use more accessible and widespread in wildlife conservation and management.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common and serious condition among cancer patients. The diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for cancer and VTE have improved during the last three decades. It remains unclear whether mortality after cancer-related VTE (CRVTE) has decreased in this period. Therefore, we investigated the mortality risk after CRVTE over the last three decades in a population-based cohort. In total, 111,119 participants from Tromsø4-7 (1994-2016) and HUNT2-3 (1995-2008) surveys were followed through 2019, and all firstlifetime cancer and VTE events were recorded. CRVTE patients were compared with participants neither exposed to cancer nor VTE (disease-free-group), and those with cancer. We estimated hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all-cause mortality using Cox regression with cancer and VTE as time-dependent exposures, and one-year cumulative incidence of mortality after CRVTE. Analyses were performed for three timeperiods (1994-2002, 2003-2011, 2012-2019). The age- and sex-adjusted HRs for mortality after CRVTE versus disease-free-group decreased from 25.3 (95%CI 20.5-31.3) in 1994-2002 to 22.6 (95%CI 19.2-26.6) in 2003-2011, and 16.9 (95%CI 14.3-20.0) in 2012-2019. The HRs for mortality after CRVTE versus cancer-group remained stable (about 3-fold higher) along the three time-periods. Similar estimates were obtained after further adjustments for comorbidities. The one-year cumulative incidence of mortality after CRVTE decreased from 61.8% (95%CI 52.9%-70.8%) in 1994-2002 to 55.6% (95%CI 49.0%-62.4%) in 2003-2011, and 45.5% (95%CI 39.3%-52.1%) in 2012-2019. Our results indicate a decrease in mortality risk after CRVTE over the last three decades, which might be mainly the result of considerable advances in cancer management.

Germline loss of function (LoF) DDX41 variants predispose to late-onset hematopoietic malignancies (HMs), predominantly of myeloid lineage. Among 43 families with germline DDX41 LoF variants, bone marrow (BM) biopsies in those without (n=8) or with malignancies (n=21) revealed mild dysplasia in peripheral blood (57%) and BM (88%), long before the average age of DDX41-related HM onset. Therefore, we recommend baseline bone marrow biopsies in people with germline DDX41LoF alleles to avoid over-diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes. A variety of solid tumors were also observed in our cohort, with 24% penetrance by age 75. Although acquired DDX41 mutations are common in HMs, we failed to identify such alleles in solid tumors arising in those with germline DDX41LoF variants (n=15), suggesting an alternative mechanism driving solid tumor development. Furthermore, 33% of pedigrees in which >15% of first-degree relatives including the proband were diagnosed with a solid tumor had second germline deleterious variants in other cancerpredisposition genes, likely serving as primary cancer drivers. Finally, both lymphoblastoid cell lines and primary peripheral blood from individuals with germline DDX41LoF variants exhibited differential levels of inflammation-associated proteins. These data provide evidence of inflammatory dysfunction mediated by germline DDX41LoF alleles that may contribute to solid tumor growth in the context of additional germline cancer-associated variants. For those with HMs and personal/family histories of solid tumors, we recommend broad germline testing. DDX41 may be an indirect modifier of solid tumor pathogenesis compared to its tumor suppressor function within hematopoietic tissues, a hypothesis that can be addressed in future work.
