Published: February 2025

Introdução: A dermatite perioral é uma condição inflamatória crônica caracterizada pelo aparecimento de pápulas eritematosas ao redor da boca, podendo se estender para a região nasal e ocular. O uso prolongado de medicamentos imunossupressores, especialmente corticosteróides tópicos e inibidores da calcineurina, tem sido associado ao desenvolvimento e agravamento dessa dermatose. Objetivo: Analisar a relação entre o uso de medicamentos imunossupressores e o desenvolvimento da dermatite perioral, avaliando fatores de risco, mecanismos fisiopatológicos e estratégias terapêuticas mais eficazes. Metodologia: A pesquisa foi conduzida com base no checklist PRISMA, utilizando as bases de dados PubMed, Scielo e Web of Science. Foram empregados os seguintes descritores: "dermatite perioral", "imunossupressores tópicos", "corticosteroides", "efeito rebote" e "microbiota cutânea". Como critérios de inclusão, selecionaram-se estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, disponíveis em texto completo e que abordassem especificamente a associação entre imunossupressores e dermatite perioral. Foram excluídos artigos que não estavam disponíveis na íntegra, revisões narrativas sem metodologia definida e estudos que envolviam exclusivamente populações pediátricas. Resultados: Os estudos analisados demonstraram que o uso contínuo de corticosteroides tópicos e inibidores da calcineurina alterava a barreira cutânea, promovendo inflamação e desequilíbrio da microbiota. O efeito rebote após a suspensão dos imunossupressores foi um dos principais fatores responsáveis pela piora do quadro clínico. Conclusão: A dermatite perioral associada ao uso de imunossupressores representa um desafio clínico significativo devido à sua etiologia multifatorial e à complexidade do manejo terapêutico. A revisão destacou a importância do diagnóstico precoce e da descontinuação controlada dos imunossupressores para evitar o agravamento dos sintomas.

Abstract. Manganese (Mn) is an essential micronutrient and key redox intermediate in marine systems. The role of organically complexed dissolved Mn(III) (dMn(III)-L) as an electron acceptor and donor in marine environments is still incompletely understood. Here, we use geochemical depth profiles of solutes and solids for the sediment and overlying waters and a reactive transport model to reconstruct the seasonality in sedimentary dMn(III)-L dynamics and benthic Mn release in a eutrophic, seasonally euxinic coastal basin (Lake Grevelingen, the Netherlands). Our model results suggest that dMn(III)-L is a major component of the dissolved Mn pool throughout the year. According to the model, there are three major sources of pore water dMn(III)-L when oxygen (O2) is present in the bottom water, namely reduction of Mn oxides coupled to the oxidation of Fe(II), reduction of Mn oxides coupled to organic matter degradation, and oxidation of Mn(II) with O2. Removal of pore water dMn(III)-L is inferred to primarily take place through reduction by dissolved Fe(II). When bottom waters are euxinic in summer, model-calculated rates of sedimentary Mn cycling decrease strongly because of a lower supply of Mn oxides. The dMn(III)-L transformations in summer mostly involve reactions with Fe(II) and organic matter. Modeled benthic release of Mn mainly occurs as dMn(III)-L when bottom waters are oxic, as Mn(II) upon initial bottom-water euxinia and as both Mn(II) and dMn(III)-L when the euxinia becomes persistent. Our model findings highlight strong interactions between the sedimentary Fe and Mn cycles. Dissolved Mn(III)-L is a relatively stable and mobile Mn species, compared to Mn(II), and is therefore more easily transported laterally throughout the coastal zone and possibly also to open marine waters.
Influences on Chemical Distribution Patterns across the west Greenland Shelf: The Roles of Ocean Currents, Sea Ice Melt, and Freshwater Runoff

Published: February 2025

Abstract. The west Greenland shelf is a dynamic marine environment influenced by various physicochemical and biological processes. This study provides an overview of the main factors affecting the distribution of macronutrients, carbonate system parameters, and dissolved trace elements during late summer. Key drivers include major ocean currents, melting sea ice, and terrestrial freshwater runoff, each uniquely contributing to the cycling and spatial distribution of chemical constituents. Major ocean currents, such as the southward-moving Baffin Island Current (BIC) and the northward-moving West Greenland Current (WGC), shape the chemical composition of shelf waters by introducing water masses with distinct chemical signatures. Melting sea ice is an important source of freshwater and dissolved constituents for the marine environment. The east-to-west direction of sea ice retreat creates nutrient gradients, with low nutrient levels in highly productive shelf waters and high nutrient levels in areas with prolonged ice cover. This process also affects the carbonate system, leading to changes in pH and aragonite saturation states, which is critical for the health of marine organisms. Terrestrial freshwater runoff, particularly from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS), replenishes macronutrients in the photic zone, stimulating primary production and creating important CO2 sinks. However, surface waters become more susceptible to acidification by the input of poorly buffered glacial freshwater. Understanding these key drivers is essential for forecasting future changes in the marine chemistry and biology of the west Greenland shelf, especially in the context of ongoing climate change within this high-latitude region.
Methanogenesis by CO2 reduction dominates lake sediments with different organic matter compositions

Published: February 2025

Abstract. Microbial methane production is a respiration reaction involved in the terminal step of anaerobic degradation of organic matter. Due to the dependency of methanogenic substrate production on fermentation reactions that produce different end productions, different sources and compositions of organic carbon (OC) may impact the methanogenic potential in lake sediments. Here, we investigate the sources and compositions of OC in sediments of Lake Geneva and how both are potentially linked to methane production. Differences in dominant long-chain fatty acid abundances and carbon isotopic compositions suggest the predominance of diagenetically altered phytoplankton-derived OC at a profundal site and temporally highly variable sources of both aquatic and terrestrial OC in a deltaic location. Despite these differences, radiotracer-based methanogenesis rate measurements and stable isotopic signatures of methane indicate significant methane production that is dominated by CO2 reduction (>95 % of total methanogenesis) in both locations. Matching this interpretation, members of well-known CO2-reducing Methanoregula sp. dominate both sites. No clear effect of OC source on methane production rates was evident. Our data demonstrate that OC of diverse sources and diagenetic states support microbial methane production, but do not indicate a clear impact of the OC source on the dominant methanogenic pathway or the community structure of methanogenic microorganisms in lacustrine sediments.
On Mode Water formation and erosion in the Arabian Sea: Forcing mechanisms, regionality, and seasonality

Published: February 2025

Abstract. Mode water acts as a barrier layer controlling surface-to-interior fluxes of key climatic properties. In the Arabian Sea, mode water stores heat and provides an oxygen-rich layer for rapid remineralization, and its subduction is a direct pathway for oxygen into the upper Oxygen Minimum Zone. We use float observations to characterize the properties of the Arabian Sea mode water layer (MWL). The MWL forms when springtime warming stratifies the surface layer and caps the deep surface mixed layer formed during the winter monsoon. During the summer monsoon, a second MWL is formed south of 20° N following the cessation of wind-driven mixing. We use a 1D and 3D model to disentangle the contributions from atmospheric and oceanic forcing on this water mass. The 1D model accurately represents the mode water's formation and erosion, showing that atmospheric forcing is the first-order driver, in agreement with observations. However, there are regions where advective processes, eddy mixing or biological heating are essential for the formation and/or erosion of the MWL. For instance, in the eastern Arabian Sea, freshwater-driven stratification advected via the West Indian Coastal Current reduces the potential for deep mixed layers via convective mixing, resulting in a thinner MWL. The 3D model shows that the MW contributes 4±1 % to the oxygen content of the upper ocean, with its maximum during spring in the northern Arabian Sea (30±6 %), thus highlighting the key role of the water mass in storing and transporting heat and oxygen to the interior.
Moving beyond post hoc explainable artificial intelligence: a perspective paper on lessons learned from dynamical climate modeling
Authors: O'Loughlin Ryan J. , Li Dan , Neale Richard , O'Brien Travis A.
Published: February 2025

Abstract. AI models are criticized as being black boxes, potentially subjecting climate science to greater uncertainty. Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) has been proposed to probe AI models and increase trust. In this review and perspective paper, we suggest that, in addition to using XAI methods, AI researchers in climate science can learn from past successes in the development of physics-based dynamical climate models. Dynamical models are complex but have gained trust because their successes and failures can sometimes be attributed to specific components or sub-models, such as when model bias is explained by pointing to a particular parameterization. We propose three types of understanding as a basis to evaluate trust in dynamical and AI models alike: (1) instrumental understanding, which is obtained when a model has passed a functional test; (2) statistical understanding, obtained when researchers can make sense of the modeling results using statistical techniques to identify input–output relationships; and (3) component-level understanding, which refers to modelers' ability to point to specific model components or parts in the model architecture as the culprit for erratic model behaviors or as the crucial reason why the model functions well. We demonstrate how component-level understanding has been sought and achieved via climate model intercomparison projects over the past several decades. Such component-level understanding routinely leads to model improvements and may also serve as a template for thinking about AI-driven climate science. Currently, XAI methods can help explain the behaviors of AI models by focusing on the mapping between input and output, thereby increasing the statistical understanding of AI models. Yet, to further increase our understanding of AI models, we will have to build AI models that have interpretable components amenable to component-level understanding. We give recent examples from the AI climate science literature to highlight some recent, albeit limited, successes in achieving component-level understanding and thereby explaining model behavior. The merit of such interpretable AI models is that they serve as a stronger basis for trust in climate modeling and, by extension, downstream uses of climate model data.

Abstract. The southern Finland granites and associated migmatitic rocks have a complex metamorphic history, being affected by multiple events during the ca. 1.88–1.79 Ga Svecofennian orogeny. In this study, the prolonged tectonic evolution of migmatites and associated rocks in southwestern Finland has been investigated using the new in situ Lu–Hf method. Results reveal detailed temporal constraints for the tectonic evolution that can be linked to major events in adjacent tectonic blocks in both Finland and Sweden during the Svecofennian orogeny. The metamorphic peak at the Olkiluoto site occurred at 1829 ± 19 Ma based on in situ Lu–Hf dating of garnet. The pressure–temperature (P–T) path for the rocks indicates a prograde evolution, with peak P–T conditions of 3–5 kbar and approximately 700 °C. Younger ages of ca. 1780 Ma obtained using both Lu–Hf and U–Pb systems in apatite inclusions in garnet indicate rapid cooling at 1780 Ma. Based on the metamorphic constraints and obtained ages, we link the Olkiluoto site to the Häme orogenic belt in southern Finland and also support the proposed thermal–tectonic connection with the Ljusdal lithotectonic unit in central Sweden.

The Quran, being word of God Almighty, stands unparalleled in its eloquence, wisdom, and uniqueness. It surpasses all forms of human expression, demonstrating a profound depth that leaves an impartial observer in awe. This sacred text not only proclaims the oneness of Allah and the prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH) but also inspires advancements in modern science.An unbiased individual, free from stagnation and undue influence of modern scientific dogmas, discovers astonishing truths upon studying the Quran. Despite being revealed over 1400 years ago to an unlettered Prophet in the isolated and culturally limited Arabian Peninsula, the Quran contains references to numerous scientific phenomena. These encompass a broad spectrum of disciplines, including history, geography, physics, astronomy, celestial bodies, biology, medicine, human sensory perception, and the intricate formation of the human body.What sets the Quran apart is that none of its statements about these fields contradict modern scientific discoveries. On the contrary, many facts mentioned in the Quran have been validated by contemporary science, while others continue to inspire further exploration. The Quran’s compatibility with scientific truth serves as a testament to its divine origin and offers humanity a guide for intellectual and spiritual growth.In essence, the Quran not only provides moral and spiritual guidance but also challenges humanity to engage in intellectual pursuits and scientific exploration, bridging the gap between faith and reason. It stands as an eternal beacon for those who seek knowledge, encouraging them to unravel the mysteries of the universe while remaining grounded in the divine wisdom it offers.

Published: February 2025

The COVID-19 epidemic, which began to spread globally in early 2020, created an abrupt change that has brought with it unimaginable challenges and profound adjustments to many elements and areas of human existence. This research delves into how the COVID-19 pandemic transformed travel patterns in Lahore, Pakistan.  It analyzes the surveys conducted to understand people's travel behaviors before, during, and after the pandemic's peak. The survey consists of total 38 questions concerning about the travel pattern of participants in pre-pandemic, during pandemic and post-pandemic along with socioeconomic factors. Factor analysis has been used to analyse the collected data. For factor analysis seven latent variable have been determined. The results show a significant change in travel pattern of individuals. During the pandemic, public transportation utilization fell drastically, and this decline persisted long after restrictions were lifted. In the same manner, there was a decline in the use of carpooling and taxis, following a subsequent partial recovery. In addition, the pandemic appears to have pushed people towards habit of online shopping and some people and offices towards remote working. This shift towards virtual alternatives may have long-term effects as individuals get used to of these new schedules. Furthermore, there have been a decline in social visits such as family, friends and social works including expos, volunteer and community works. Essentially, the research highlights the COVID-19 pandemic as a watershed moment for travel patterns in Lahore. It triggered a rise in personal car use, a surge in remote work and online shopping, and a temporary decline in social visits by car. The research indicates that certain modifications, including the adoption of remote work and virtual communication, could eventually become standard practices, impacting urban living and working patterns.
Beyond the Glass Ceiling: Leveraging Impression Management for Women’s Career Success
Authors: Saba Amin  , Ashraf Fatima
Published: February 2025

Women predominantly occupy minority positions in decision-making positions, particularly in underdeveloped nations. This reflects the prevalence of the invisible glass ceiling beliefs (denial, resilience, resignation, acceptance) that impede women’s subjective career success. This study proposes and tests that, to attain subjective career success, women in corporate environments may employ impression management tactics to route through hindrances that glass ceiling beliefs offer. In contrast, women’s career aspirations shape this relationship as they act as a buffer. More specifically, we examine whether women’s glass ceiling beliefs influence their subjective career success. We also investigate whether impression management is a mediator and whether career aspirations are a moderator of this relationship, drawing from the Expectations States Theory (EST). Using snowball sampling, we obtained data from 291 women employed in tourism and hospitality sector firms. Our study concludes the significance of the four glass ceiling beliefs on women’s subjective career success, and the importance of impression management tactics to navigate the glass ceiling beliefs to attain subjective career success. Our study also highlights that high career aspirations only support women who accept the glass ceiling. We provide study limitations, theoretical and practical implications, study contributions, and future research suggestions at the end.

This study examines Farmers' Attitudes towards Crop Insurance under Climate Change Threats. The question under study is: what factors influence farmers' willingness to pay for crop insurance? To accomplish the task, we collected primary data from 44 farmers through a questionnaire and face-to-face interviews using the contingent valuation method .The data collected through questionnaires the was done through Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Descriptive analysis of the data reveled that a large number of farmers were unfamiliar about the crop insurance concept. Furthermore, we found that the income level of households is the main factor that influences farmers’ willingness to pay for crop insurance programs. And most of the farmers are unaware of crop insurance programs. Based on the findings of the research, we recommended that policymakers first raise awareness among farmers about crop insurance programs and then adapt programs to increase insurance adoption and effectiveness.

O artigo tem como objetivo trazer à luz as experiências vividas pelo Casal do Número Manuel da Rosa e Ana Pereira em sua jornada migratória pela América Meridional. A partir da “Política de Casais”, Portugal buscava ampliar a ocupação das terras meridionais e a defesa de seus territórios, os quais estavam em constante disputa com os espanhóis. Para tanto, promoveu o deslocamento de famílias dos Açores para povoar e colonizar o sul da América portuguesa no século XVIII. Através de documentos históricos, como os registros dos livros eclesiais, pode-se identificar vestígios e pistas acerca da viagem transatlântica e as agruras presentes na travessia, bem como os desafios fronteiriços para povoar o extremo sul da América Portuguesa. Ao acompanhar as pistas e vestígios do deslocamento de Manoel e Ana, destaca-se um Casal de Número que vivenciou as experiências do movimento de emigração que resultou no deslocamento de mais de seis mil açorianos emigrantes do Arquipélago de Açores para as terras da América Meridional, atendendo ao Edital de 1746.
Carnaval suburbano belenense:
Authors: Benedito Castro Gomes Elielton
Published: February 2025

Este artigo trata das festas de carnaval, em bairros localizados na margem do rio Guamá (Guamá, Condor e Jurunas), noticiadas nas páginas de jornais (A Província do Pará, Jornal do Dia e O Liberal) que circulavam na capital paraense, em meados do século passado. Nessas paragens, foi identificada uma dinâmica urbana em que se sobressaiam as experiências lúdicas e sociais, marcadas por uma forte vigilância policial e que, por meio de denúncias ou representações negativas acerca daquelas localidades, se faziam constantes, inibindo e vigiando a vivência desses sujeitos. As múltiplas formas de viver naquelas áreas, bem como percebê-las, expressadas por meios das relações que cotidianamente eram estabelecidas e muitas vezes aproximavam ou distanciavam os que ali transitavam, permitiram visualizá-las enquanto parte fundante de uma cultura festiva belenense, cultura essa que, ao longo daquele tempo, era de interesse não apenas dos moradores do subúrbio, mas também de pessoas que se identificavam com ele.
Redemocratização e resistência

Published: February 2025

O artigo tem como objeto a memória e a história da primeira ação civil pública do MPGO, impetrada em 1987 pelo então promotor de justiça Sulivan Silvestre, cujo escopo era a defesa do meio ambiente. O objetivo é demonstrar as dificuldades em operacionalizar a ação civil pública e tutelar dos direitos difusos no cenário anterior à Constituição de 1988. A hipótese adotada é que antes da reconstrução institucional havia um conflito interno no MPGO sobre o uso da ação civil pública. A direção, ancorada no modelo ministerial da ditadura civil-militar, vacilava quanto à aplicação dos novos direitos. Porém, uma série de membros, principalmente os também vinculados ao movimento da abertura política, valeram-se de sua habilidade e senso de oportunidade para usar as novas atribuições, dando roupagem adequada à instituição ao momento que se abria com a redemocratização brasileira.

O artigo analisa a evolução histórica do direito à educação em Cabo Verde, desde o período colonial até aos dias de hoje, e investiga como esse direito é reconhecido e garantido na Constituição da República. A pesquisa adota uma abordagem dedutiva e utiliza o método monográfico com técnicas de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental para responder à seguinte problemática: Qual é a evolução histórica do direito à educação em Cabo Verde e como é reconhecido e assegurado na Constituição da República, e quais são os desafios atuais relacionados com a sua efetiva implementação? O artigo destaca que a educação é um direito fundamental e universal, reconhecido pela comunidade internacional como alicerça do desenvolvimento e progresso social. A Constituição de Cabo Verde reconhece o direito à educação como um direito fundamental e estabelece a obrigação do Estado de garantir o acesso à educação para todos os cidadãos. No entanto, a efetiva implementação desse direito continua a ser um desafio no país, devido à escassez de recursos financeiros e humanos, à falta de infraestruturas adequadas e ao acesso limitado à educação em áreas remotas.

Published: February 2025

Missing values are common in various applications and caused a significant challenge to the performance of statistical, Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) models. The problem of missing credit risk data greatly reduces the effectiveness of the existing model due to incomplete data patterns, making missing value imputation more difficult. Therefore, developing an accurate imputation approaches for missing data is essential due to the high missing rate and complex data patterns, arbitrary missing patterns in credit risk assessment datasets. To address this issue, proposed an imputation method called Spatio-Convolutional Generative Adversarial Imputation Networks (S-CGAIN) method to predict the missing values of credit data in a bank. In this research, pima Indian diabetes dataset is used to evaluate the proposed model then pre-processing based technique namely standardization is utilized to scale the features to enhance the model efficiency. Bi-LSTM model used as classifier for classification of the missing data and presented data thereby improving classification accuracy. The proposed S-CGAIN method achieves an accuracy of 93.23%, precision of 99.34%, 94.67% of sensitivity, F1-score of 92.31%, specificity of 95.56% and AUC of 91.45% compared with existing method such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) respectively with pima dataset.

Published: February 2025

The main thrust of this work is to examine and classify nominal homo-tonal homonyms in Yoruba language. This paper investigates the role of homo-tonal homonyms in the teaching and learning of core linguistics areas in Yoruba language, most especially for second language learners. The theory adopted for this research is the usage theory championed by Wittgenstein (1953). Data needed for this research were gathered from both formal and informal sources, which include direct observation involving different classes of language users and appraisal of existing literature on homonyms. Through this work, it was observed that homo-tonal nominal homonyms could be used for the teaching and learning of different aspects of linguistics to facilitate effective communication. In addition, it was also discovered that intuitive knowledge, mutual contextual belief and context of situation and culture can help disambiguate homo-tonal homonyms derived from lexical ambiguity in the language and thus enhance effective communication. Furthermore, it was discovered that there are two types of homonyms in the Yoruba language; these are hetero-tonal homonyms and homo-tonal homonyms. In conclusion, research into lexical relations such as homo-tonal homonyms will help to preserve the language for posterity.
