Objective. To determine the clinical and epidemiological characteristics that predispose to risk factors for the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in pregnant women who attend prenatal consultation at the University Hospital of Guayaquil.
 
Method. The study population consisted of pregnant women who attended prenatal consultations, evaluated with a longitudinal design of a descriptive and observational nature. The sample included a total of 104 pregnant women subjected to a data collection protocol that combined the application of a questionnaire validated by experts with the systematic review of medical records.
 
Results: The main variables associated with the presence of risk factors for hypertensive disorders during pregnancy were identified. The analysis of age distribution revealed that 69.2% of the participants were between 20 and 34 years old, 20.2% were pregnant women under 19 years old and 10.6% were women over 35 years old. The risk factors determined included: weight gain (41.3%), family history of hypertensive disorders (30.8%), poor nutrition (50%), civil union status (54.8%), first pregnancy (35.6%), history of more than two previous partners (23.1%) and the presence of preexisting or pregnancy-induced hypertension (13.5%).
 
Conclusions: The relevant risk factor was personal and family history of hypertensive disorders with 30.8%. Nutrition, first parity and changing partners were highlighted aspects. Poor prenatal care was not considered as a risk factor.

Ellipsis From A Functionalist Perspective
Authors: Barbosa Elenita Alves , Sousa Valéria Viana
Published: February 2025

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze, from the perspective of Functionalism, what the use of ellipses reveals to us.
 
Theoretical Framework: In this topic, the main concepts and theories that underpin the research are presented. The following stand out: Usage-Based Functionalism (Heine, 2011; Hilpert, 2014); Usage-Centered Functional Linguistics (Furtado da Cunha, 2013; Rosário, 2022), providing a solid basis for understanding the context of the research.
 
Method: The methodology adopted for this research comprises qualitative analysis, of an experimental nature and cross-sectional nature. Data collection was carried out through sixteen oral interviews of the Corpora of Popular Portuguese and Cult Portuguese of Vitória da Conquista.
 
Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed that ellipses cannot be analyzed out of context or only as an element of textual cohesion. In the discussion section, these results are contextualized in light of the theoretical framework, highlighting the implications and relationships identified. Possible discrepancies and limitations of the study are also considered in this section.
 
Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into how the results can be applied or influence practices in the field of interpretation of ellipses in Portuguese language texts. These implications can cover both written and oral texts.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by highlighting that each ellipsis has a meaning depending on the context of use. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by the fact that it is an unprecedented research in the scope of Functionalism, in Brazil.

Authors: Valbuena Sonia , Aguas Michael , Berrio Jesús David
Published: February 2025

Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the need for Economic and Financial Education in schools and families, particularly in socially and economically vulnerable contexts. The aim is to foster more informed and financially responsible communities, enhance family financial well-being, and empower parents to actively participate in their children's financial education.
 
Theoretical Framework: Based on economic and financial education, this study utilizes the guidelines and competencies established by the Colombian government to promote financial literacy among citizens, encouraging informed and responsible decision-making.
 
Method: The research was conducted in three phases: a literature review on economic and financial education, the design and application of data collection instruments, and the validation of a strategy aimed at families and their children in primary education. A total of 375 families from educational institutions in the south and southwest of Atlántico, in the Colombian Caribbean region, participated in the study. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and video and photographic records.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings revealed a significant lack of financial knowledge. After the training, families began setting short, medium, and long-term financial goals, demonstrating progress in their financial planning.
 
Research Implications: This research contributes to the field by demonstrating how the integration of school mathematics, families, and the educational environment can foster behavioral changes in economic and financial education, both at the individual and family levels. These implications could extend to parent training programs in Colombian schools, strengthening their role in teaching responsible financial practices.
 
Originality/Value: This study innovates by promoting economic and financial education in families through a comprehensive program that involves all family members. It highlights the potential of this approach to help families achieve their personal and collective goals while fostering a more informed and financially responsible community.

Authors: Coelho Regiane Auzier , Lopes Adriana Araujo Castro , Marialva Elden de Albuquerque
Published: February 2025

Objective: To investigate the environmental impacts caused by clay extraction for the production of ceramic products (bricks) in the municipality of Juruti-PA and to characterize the types of clays used in this process.
 
Theoretical Framework: Based on NBR ISO 14001 (requirement 3.4.1), where environmental impact is defined as: "any modification of the environment, adverse or beneficial, resulting wholly or partially from the activities, products, or services of an organization," and on ABNT standards related to mineral characterization.
 
Method: The methods used in this research describe and delimit the study area, assess the impacts caused by clay extraction in the municipality, and characterize the clays extracted for brick manufacturing.
 
Results and Discussion: The results revealed the study area, the physical and chemical characteristics of the clays, the impacted areas, and the negligence of regulatory bodies toward small-scale mining operations. These entities leave workers and micro-entrepreneurs without proper information regarding suitable procedures for clay extraction and handling, creating risks to the environment and public health.
 
Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research may influence practices in the field of Mining Engineering. These implications can extend to Geology, Environmental Management, Environmental Engineering, and Forestry Engineering.
 
Originality/Value: The relevance and value of this research lie in its ability to reveal the characteristics of clay to local workers and raise awareness among sectors and individuals about the importance of environmental consciousness.

Published: February 2025

Background: Hypersensitivity reactions (HRs) to iron agents are increasing in parallel with increased use of iron preparations. Objective: We aimed to evaluate the clinical features and our previous desensitization protocol in patients with immediate hypersensitivity
reactions (IHR) to iron agents. Methods: We screened the medical records of 96 patients with a history of IHRs to oral or intravenous (IV) iron agents. We evaluated clinical features and diagnostic test results. Furthermore, we assessed the safety and success rate of the
desensitization protocol. Results: Forty-seven patients had a history of IHRs to oral iron preparations, whereas 49 patients had a history of IHRs to IV iron agents. Skin-prick tests (SPT) with suspected and alternative oral iron salts were performed in 52.1% of the patients,
and five were positive. SPTs and intradermal tests with IV iron products were applied to 67.7% and 65.6% of the patients, respectively, and four yielded positivity. Anaphylaxis was more common in patients hypersensitive to IV iron agents (n = 33) (p < 0.001). In 15 patients
for whom iron agents were mandatory, 52 successful desensitizations with ferric carboxymaltose were performed. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that skin tests were not helpful in the diagnosis of IHRs to iron agents and the parenteral route of administration was related
to more severe IHRs. Furthermore, in case of necessity, our IV desensitization protocol generated for ferric carboxymaltose is a safe, effective, and practical treatment of choice.
City and Ecology
Authors: Kipfer Stefan
Published: February 2025

Our understanding of urban ecology continues to be informed by the nature ideologies of Social Darwinism, romanticism and scientism which are currently mobilized by political actors for concrete social projects: neo-fascism. eco-capitalism and different variants of environmentalism. Accordingly it is not at all self-evident that the city should provide the site for ecological politics. [...]

Ecological Communities, School Communities
Authors: Wiersma Yolanda
Published: February 2025

Ask most children about their favourite subject in school, and they invariably reply "recess". One doesn't have to think too long about elementary school days to remember the agony of watching the clock tick towards that magical time when the bell rings and a collective sense of relief rises from students and teachers alike. Recess is naturally any child's favourite subject. It is the only time of the day when children can run around, stretch their legs, talk to friends and play. Recess represents a fleeting freedom that ends each time the bell rings and summons everyone back into the classroom.

A Case Report on Primary Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Stomach in an Adult Female: A Comprehensive Analysis
Authors: Yu Wen-Wei , Li Qiong , Liu Xi-Sheng , Ge Han
Published: February 2025

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm characterized primarily by myofibroblastic proliferation and a prominent inflammatory infiltrate, including plasma cells and lymphocytes. Although IMTs predominantly affect adolescents and can arise in various body sites, they are exceedingly rare in adults, particularly within the stomach. This report presents a case involving an adult patient who underwent surgical resection for a suspected malignant gastric tumor, which was subsequently diagnosed as an IMT on histopathological examination.
ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЯ ПЕРВИННИХ СТРАТЕГІЙ ВИДІВ РОДУ GENTIANA L. У ВИСОКОГІРНИХ ЦЕНОЗАХ УКРАЇНСЬКИХ КАРПАТ
Authors: Hrytsak L. R. , Kyyak V. G. , Boyko D. A. , Drobyk N. M.
Published: February 2025

The study presents an analysis of changes in differential (ontogenetic, age-related, spatial, vital structural, and self-supporting) and integral (recovery index, strategy type) characteristics of population strategies in rare alpine species of the genus Gentiana L. (Gentiana lutea L., Gentiana punctata L., Gentiana acaulis L.). These species grow in the Ukrainian Carpathians under varying degrees of pastoral and recreational pressure, soil silting, and sodification.
The results demonstrate that the studied species exhibit distinct primary strategy types: G. lutea is classified as a K-strategist, G. punctata belongs to the K-S-type, and G. acaulis to the S-R-type. Long-term anthropogenic transformation of the high-altitude ecosystems in the Ukrainian Carpathians has weakened the manifestation of these primary strategy types. Under protected conditions, where G. lutea populations experience low stress and minimal disturbance, they tend to acquire characteristics of the K-S-type (Lemska) or K-R-type (Pip Ivan Marmarosky). The primary strategy of G. punctata shifts to K-S-R-type (Pip Ivan Marmarosky), while G. acaulis transitions to an S-type strategy (Breskul).
When optimal abiotic and phytocoenotic conditions are maintained but biomass extraction from the population increases, the strategy of G. lutea shifts to K-R-type (Sheshul-Pavlik), while stress-tolerant traits become more pronounced in the G. acaulis subpopulation (Pip Ivan Marmarosky).
Our findings indicate that under severe stress and high disturbance, characterized by intensified silting and soil sodification, combined with increased biomass removal, populations of all species exhibit a heightened stress-tolerant strategy. This process leads to a gradual decline in plant density, a reduction in population range, and ultimately, progressive population decline. These trends have been documented in the G. lutea habitat on Vorozheska Mountain, in G. punctata habitats on Tatul and Vorozheska Mountains, as well as in G. acaulis populations on Hoverla, Turkul, and Rebra Mountains.
Numerical Mach Number Studies on a Multidelta Wing Configuration with Vertical Stabilizers
Authors: Schütte Andreas , Hummel Dietrich
Published: February 2025

The presented investigations look at the vortical flow physics and aerodynamic performance of a generic, sharp leading-edge multidelta wing configuration with control surfaces. The work is part of a German Aerospace Center (DLR) project, looking at technologies and design requirements for next-generation fighter aircraft. The present paper deals with the aerodynamic task to integrate vertical stabilizers and to evaluate the effects of dihedral and rudder deflection angles, as well as the influence of the Mach number on the vortical flow, aerodynamic behavior, and stability. The work is based on a set of investigations looking at the roll stability at medium-to-high angles of attack of the configuration with strakes and wing leading-edge slats. The aim is to enhance the knowledge base regarding the integration of control surfaces for the next design stages within the DLR internal project.
Actuator Replication Method for Faster Unsteady Flow Control Computations
Authors: Shmilovich Arvin , Narducci Robert , Woszidlo Rene
Published: February 2025

This paper describes a new computational strategy for complex aerodynamic flows that involve multiple powered devices, such as flow control actuators or power systems. A complete computational domain contains all the relevant physical regions, including the inner regions of all the powered devices. The proposed strategy aims to reduce the exorbitant computational resources required to resolve fine flow features within most of the devices. The approach involves modifying an existing computational fluid model by introducing a grid generation step and a boundary condition module. The grid generation step employs a predetermined strategy that is performed prior to the simulation step, resulting in a grid system that includes only a few of the devices. The flow computation is then performed by incorporating special boundary conditions replicated over all the powered devices and continually updated in the course of the time-stepping process. This approach demonstrates high computational efficiency, as exemplified by its application to a wing of a rotorcraft equipped with numerous flow control actuators in hover mode. The results obtained using this replication approach closely match those obtained using a complete computational domain, but with approximately 50% fewer computational resources. Excluding many actuators from the computational domain is particularly advantageous for flows with disparate length scales and time scales, enabling practical computations over sufficiently long times.
Counter-culture of Compassion. The Early Christian View of Roman Games and the Possibilities of its Application in the Contemporary Relationship of Church and Society
Authors: Sedlák Filip
Published: February 2025

Christian martyrdom can be seen as an expression of the counter-cultural reality of the Church, her conflicting tension between the world and the coming kingdom of Heaven. In this context, it is also a problematic concept that, in many cases, leads to violence and avoids the possibility of dialogue; however, it inseparably belongs to the heart of Christianity. Because of that, we should think about it in new and fruitful ways. This paper tries to think specifically about early Christian martyrdom in the context of a victim perspective and critique of the Roman gladiatorial games, concentrating on the element of compassion, which was unexpected in the Roman empire of the first centuries after Christ. That perspective of compassion is something that we can grasp, like the substantial essence of early Christian martyrdom, and which is also meaningful for our time and situation of mainly Church-society relations. This is shown with peak Christian game critique – Tertullian’s On Games, and examples of the three oldest martyrdoms – Martyrdom of Polycarp, Martyrs of Lyon and Vienne, and Passion of Perpetua and Felicity. We can use that found compassion in new situations where we, at the moment, like the Romans, do not see a need or reason for it.
Katolickie wychowanie religijne w kontekście aktualnych przemian społeczno-religijnych w Polsce
Authors: Kostorz Jerzy
Published: February 2025

W artykule podjęto problem wychowania religijnego w kontekście aktualnych przemian społeczno-religijnych. Można je zaobserwować w zmianie mentalności dzieci, młodzieży i dorosłych, galopującej sekularyzacji w Polsce, w organizacji lekcji religii oraz w jakości zaangażowania katechetycznego rodziny, szkoły, parafii. W odpowiedzi na przemiany społeczno-religijne sformułowano propozycje odnowy środowisk wychowawczych i zmiany koncepcji lekcji religii w szkole. Postulowano opracowanie nowej podstawy programowej lekcji religii oraz podejmowanie nowych, wykorzystujących cyfrowe przestrzenie, działań ewangelizacyjnych, katechetycznych i duszpasterskich w rodzinie, szkole i parafii. Za ważną uznano współpracę środowisk wychowawczych, która podobnie jak podstawa programowa i program nauczania religii w szkole, wymaga odnowy. Akcent przy tym położyć należy na autentyczną komunikację i współdziałanie rodziców, wychowawców, katechetów, duszpasterzy.
Religious education in the Czech Republic in the context of contemporary socio-cultural changes
Authors: Kuźniar Mariusz
Published: February 2025

The article analyses the role of religious education in the Czech Republic within the context of contemporary socio-cultural changes, particularly the increasing secularisation and shifting societal attitudes towards religion. To better understand the complexity of these processes and their key stages in shaping Czech society, a historical and cultural perspective is employed. The end of communism in 1989 brought about significant economic and political changes, including the introduction of a democratic system and a free-market economy. This transition, combined with the opening up to Western civilisation, accelerated the secularisation of society. This shift is particularly evident in societal values and attitudes towards the family, religion, and the authority of various state institutions, including the Church.  The article aims to highlight the complexity of the processes that have profoundly influenced the extent and dynamics of secularisation. Furthermore, it examines how contemporary religious education—both in schools and through parish catechesis—reflects the attitudes of Czech society, where Christianity holds a marginal social role.
The Chinese Rites Controversy and Its Relevance
Authors: Klejnowski-Różycki Dariusz
Published: February 2025

Spór o ryty chińskie dotyczył zgodności chińskich praktyk, takich jak kult przodków i oddawanie czci Konfucjuszowi, z nauką Kościoła katolickiego. W XVII w. jezuici uznali te rytuały za świeckie, dostosowując chrześcijaństwo do chińskiej kultury. Dominikanie i franciszkanie sprzeciwiali się temu, twierdząc, że prowadzi to do synkretyzmu. Stolica Apostolska, po licznych kontrowersjach, zakazała tych praktyk, co osłabiło misje katolickie w Chinach i wpłynęło na ich relacje z Zachodem. W XX w. Kościół zmienił stanowisko, uznając rytuały za zgodne z wiarą chrześcijańską, co stało się fundamentem teologii inkulturacji. Współczesne implikacje sporu są widoczne w relacjach Watykanu z Chinami, zwłaszcza w kontekście sinizacji religii, która podporządkowuje praktyki religijne ideologii państwowej. Dyplomatyczne działania papieża Franciszka, takie jak porozumienie dotyczące mianowania biskupów, pokazują próbę znalezienia kompromisu, choć relacje pozostają napięte. Spór pozostaje aktualny jako przykład napięć między uniwersalizmem chrześcijaństwa a lokalnymi kulturami oraz wskazuje na konieczność dialogu kulturowego i zrozumienia różnorodności w obliczu globalnych wyzwań.
Historyczność i “ponadhistoryczność” krzyża i zmartwychwstania w refleksji ks. Jerzego Klingera: od Maksyma Wyznawcy do Rudolfa Bultmanna i z powrotem
Authors: Kosmulska Bogna
Published: February 2025

Celem artykułu jest po pierwsze, przypomnienie inspirującej pracy Doktryna krzyża i zmartwychwstania według Rudolfa Bultmanna w konfrontacji z teologią Kościoła prawosławnego ks. Jerzego Klingera oraz analiza sposobu, w jaki ten wybitny prawosławny teolog dokonał w nim jednej z nieoczywistych odsłon „istoty prawosławia”. Bultmann, teolog luterański, pod piórem Klingera okazuje się intuicyjnie rozumieć coś, co być może zostało w tradycji prawosławnej nie dość uwypuklone, mimo że było w niej stale obecne. Tą rzeczą, zdaniem ks. Jerzego, jest egzystencjalna perspektywa wiary jako przede wszystkim indywidualnego doświadczenia, przynajmniej do pewnego stopnia niezależnego od historycznie przyjętego obrazu świata (w tym jego opisu metafizycznego). Poza tą rekonstrukcją, praca niniejsza uzupełnia te rozważania o inspiracje płynące z lektury Maksyma Wyznawcy w ujęciu Dumitru Stăniloae, rumuńskiego teologa, kongenialnego względem Klingera. Zestawienie dwóch modeli soteriologii – egzystencjalnego (Bultmannowskiego) oraz kosmicznego (Maksymowego) – pozwala na krytyczną ocenę stanowiska Bultmanna, a także, w pewnej mierze, stanowiska Klingera.
The Worst Pain Is an Unexplained Pain
Authors: Mintken Paul E. , McDevitt Amy W. , Lewis Jeremy
Published: February 2025

Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain, especially when the reason for the pain is unexplained, is often associated with distress, fear, reduced self-efficacy and cycles of medicalization. Pathoanatomical diagnoses, based on clinical tests and imaging, have a weak correlation between structural findings and pain, and fail to explain why something hurts. This viewpoint advocates for non-pathoanatomical functional diagnoses or classifications and practical, relatable explanations for patients with pain without a definitive pathoanatomical cause—what some might call a person-centered model of care. Using an example of low back pain, we explore how functional terminology and empathetic communication can foster better understanding of pain, reduce fear, and support people to engage with treatment. We encourage clinicians to integrate lifestyle factors in a shared decision-making framework. By supporting patients to understand their pain, we suggest an approach that improves both physical and psychological well-being.
Precedent Anthroponym “Napoleon” as a Means of Constructing Media Images of European Politicians
Authors: Kondratyeva O. N. , Yurieva E. E.
Published: February 2025

Purpose. The article examines the usage peculiarities of the universal precedent anthroponym “Napoleon” by the Russian mass media in the process of modeling media images of two modern European politicians – the French President Emmanuel Macron and the Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.

Results. A corpus of the Russian media texts including more than 500 contexts serve as the material for the analysis. The texts were scrutinised with the help of lexical-semantic, distributional and frame methods to identify and describe the differential features of the precedent anthroponym “Napoleon”. These features coming from three frames (“Anthropometric and Physiological Characteristics”, “Personal Characteristics” and “Social Characteristics”) are regularly used by the Russian mass media to characterize European politicians.

Conclusion. It is established that the most popular stereotypical ideas about Napoleon used in the Russian mass media while constructing media images of E. Macron and V. Zelensky are associated with Napoleon’s short stature, young age of coming to power, exorbitant political ambitions, aggression towards Russia and defeat at Waterloo. It is demonstrated that numerous appeals to the image of the French emperor allow the mass media not only to focus attention on the most striking personal and professional traits of European leaders who are ideological opponents of Russia, but also to predict the sad demise of their political career in case of further confrontation with Russia and the implementation of ill-considered political projects.

Biological nanoparticles (BNs) have the potential to serve as effective drug delivery vehicles and valuable biomarkers for a range
of diseases. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that the current approaches do not efficiently release the proteins and RNA
of BNs, resulting in significant underestimation of their contents. Furthermore, a universal protocol for the efficient release of proteins
and nucleic acids from all types of BNs has been developed. This study presents, for the first time, a comparison of Raman spectroscopy
and SERS spectra for biological nanoparticles, which revealed differences in the protein-lipid composition of BNs and the stiffness
of their membranes. The comparative spectra elucidate the underlying reasons for the differences in the release efficiency of proteins
and RNA from different BNs.
Complete blood count in healthy newborns in the first days of life (a comparative analysis against the 20th-century norms): A retrospective cohort study

Complete blood count is one of the most accessible and common laboratory tests available today. In present-day healthy newborns, complete blood count levels differ from the normative values used in the 1970s, which may require critical analysis, clarification, further research, and revision of the concept of norm.

Objectives. To identify changes in the hematologic parameters of healthy newborns born in 2022 as compared to those reported in the 1930s and 1967–1970s.

Methods. A retrospective cohort study of neonatal records was conducted at the Neonatal Physiology Unit of the Perinatal Center of the Saint Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University (Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation). Eleven hematologic parameters were analyzed in 378 healthy full-term newborns (born in 2022) in their first three days of life with subsequent comparison of the obtained results with the data of 20th-century domestic publications, as well as with Russian and foreign scientific articles published in the last 15 years. The blood of all children was tested once using a Micros ES 60 automated hematology analyzer (HORIBA ABX S.A.S., France). Mathematical and statistical data processing was performed using Microsoft Office Excel 2021 (Microsoft, U.S.).

Results. A comparison of red blood cell and hemoglobin levels reported in newborns in their second and third days of life in 1970 and 2022 revealed statistically significant differences, with lower levels observed at present. Mean platelet counts are also significantly lower than those reported in the 1930 and 1970 studies but are almost the same as those reported by other authors in 2012–2019. The mean white blood cell count is slightly higher as compared to the 20th-century normative values. The dynamics of changes in the mean white blood cell count are similar in all studies presented in the article, revealing a marked decrease by the third day of life as compared to the first and second days; however, 20th century data reveals even lower levels on the third day of life. Noteworthy is the decrease in the relative numbers of lymphocytes and band neutrophils with an increase in segmented neutrophils in this study as compared to the 1930, 1970, and 2012 studies.

Conclusion. The current mean values and reference intervals of hematologic parameters in healthy newborn babies differ from those presented in scientific studies and medical articles of the 20th century. This fact requires repeat analysis and establishment of new norms due to the increased sensitivity of analysis, the emergence of new procedures, and higher accuracy of equipment, as well as, potentially, due to changes in the maturity criteria and physical development indicators for newborns in the 21st century.
Positive Influence of 12- Weeks Group Activities on Self-Control of Middle-Aged Adults Residing in Drug and Alcohol Abuse Rehabilitation Centres, Sikkim
Authors: Bhutia Tenzing Norzom , Singh Mahendra Kumar
Published: February 2025

Substance addiction is clearly widespread among the younger age; drugs, alcohol, and nicotine being the most typical examples. Abuse of substances can cause a range of behavior-related, psychological, and neurological issues in addition to its own harmful effects. Drug-using children are at greater risk than non-using children to suffer from mental health conditions such depression, behavioural problems, personality disorders, suicidal thoughts, attempts at self-harm, and actual suicide. The aim of this experimental study was to determine the impact of a 12-week group activities (exercise) programme on the Self-control for Mental Wellbeing of residents in drug and alcohol abuse rehabilitation centres. The self- concept attribute of behaviour was assessed using the self-control questionnaire developed by Tangney, Baumeister, and Boone (2004). Six rehabilitation centres with a total of sixty individuals were considered for this study. Following that, two groups of 30 individuals were formed: Experimental Group (<40 years old) and Active Group (< 40 years old). Throughout a twelve-week period, participants in experimental group, who ranged in age from thirty to forty, attended three 45-minute sessions each week. The active/control groups carried out their daily activities as usual. Data analysis was done using SPSS, Version 20.0, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. The findings indicate that group activities significantly improved Self- Concept. The experimental group (<40) benefited more from this training programme, as evidenced by the significant differences observed during the mid-test and post-test; in contrast, the active group (aged <40) showed no significant difference between pre- and post-training. Taking part in group activities helps improve the cognitive and psychomotor skills of those in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Additionally, it might offer them support when they give priority to their mental health therapy.

The paper discusses the possibility of increasing the transition temperature of metal-oxide compounds ("high-temperature" superconductors) to the superconducting state (zero electrical resistance) when irradiating them with a sufficiently powerful photon flow. In this case, in the irradiated substance, as a result of internal photo-ionization, changes occur in both the important parameters of the phonon spectrum and the electrons energy spectrum.

The value of the photon energy must satisfy this condition: hν ≥ W (ν is the photon frequency, W is the energy of the photoinduced chemical reaction. According to the estimates made in the work, the minimum wavelength of photons that can realize the described effect should be characterized by the value l≈10–4m. Photons of this wavelength correspond to infrared light radiation, a flow of sufficient power of which is easily achieved by laser technology.

A change in the parameters of the phonon spectrum and the energy state of electrons in the discussed compounds when they are irradiated with photons causes the formation of an additional number of clusters of special ion complexes (negative U-centers), which are capable of generating quasiparticles: "Cooper" pairs of electrons (bosons).

The formation of clusters of negative U-centers leads to the formation of a special energy spectrum of the electronic subsystem in metal oxides, which allows pair transitions of electrons. Paired electrons carry an electric charge without losing energy. Irradiation of multicomponent metal oxides with optical photons intensifies the process of formation of the maximum possible total length of U-centers clusters, therefore intensifies the process of metal oxides transition to a superconducting state: the temperature of the complete transition of these compounds to the superconducting state Tc can approach the value of the temperature of the opening of a pseudogap in the energy spectrum of electrons that is, this transition is realized at higher temperatures than it occurs under normal conditions.
Context-Awareness for Device-to-Device Resource Allocation
Authors: Rodziewicz Marcin
Published: February 2025

The paper investigates a context-aware approach to radio resource allocation for device-to-device (D2D) communication, focusing on solutions that leverage information on user equipment location and environmental features, such as building layouts. A system enabling direct communication by sharing uplink resources with cellular users is considered. Such a system introduces mutual interference between direct and cellular communications, posing challenges related to maintaining adequate performance levels. To address these challenges, various context-based resource allocation methods are analyzed, aiming to optimize spectral efficiency and minimize interference. The study explores the impact that different D2D device densities exert on overall network performance measured by means of spectral efficiency and the signal-to-interference ratio.
A Hole-free Shifted Coprime Array for DOA Estimation
Authors: Salman Fatimah Abdulnabi , Sabbar Bayan Mahdi
Published: February 2025

Coprime arrays have recently become a popular trend in estimating the direction of arrival in array signal processing, as they increase the degree of freedom (DOF). Coprime arrays utilize a couple of uniform linear subarrays to create a difference co-array with specific preferable features. In this paper, three proposed structures are considered that depend on the shifting of one of the two uniform linear arrays. The proposed configurations reveal a sequence of lags obtained by filling the holes of the co-array, which span the aperture array. The displacement value depends on the value of the pair of data in the array. The resulting virtual array achieved by means of the proposed methods may generate DOFs MN + 1, MN + N + 1, and MN + 2N - 2, respectively. The performance of the proposed configurations is evaluated by experimental simulations aiming to demonstrate the effectiveness of the array's design.

Literacy skills as well as the character of discipline and independence are important for student learning success. This study aims to describe the implementation of GLS in fostering discipline and independence in grade 3 elementary schools. This research method uses a qualitative approach. The subjects of the study were 29 3rd grade elementary school students in Purworejo, Central Java. The data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. This study uses triangulation of sources and methods to support the validity of the data. The data analysis technique used in this study is an interactive model from Miles, Huberman, & Saldana which consists of three main stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn/data verification. The results of the study show that the implementation of GLS in elementary schools can create various forms of literacy activities, namely creating reading corners, writing reflections on literacy activity books, activating school wall magazines, creating and appreciating poems and rhymes as well as writing book reviews or synopsis, and reading reading books for 15 minutes at the 0th hour. The implementation of GLS can foster the character of discipline and independence in students. For discipline character, 84% of students in the category are excellent on the indicator of completing tasks on time, 72% on the indicator of complying with existing regulations, and 92% on the indicator of good behavior. For independent character, 72% of students in the category are very good on the initiative indicator, 82% on the confidence indicator, and 88% on the responsibility indicator. In conclusion, the implementation of GLS in elementary schools can foster the character of discipline and independence in students.
Znaczenie figuracji w twórczości rzeźbiarskiej Barbary Zbrożyny
Authors: Sikorska Izabela
Published: February 2025

Niniejsza praca konstytuuje się w obrębie znaczeń figuracji w twórczości XX--wiecznej artystki Barbary Zbrożyny. Praca prezentuje ewolucję jej wybranych realizacji rzeźbiarskich. W porządku chronologicznym przedstawione zostały dzieła figuratywne skupiające się wokół różnej tematyki. Tekst stanowi próbę odszyfrowania znaczeń, treści oraz symboli ukrytych w jej twórczości. Sproblematyzowane we wstępie różne aspekty figuracji są punktem wyjścia i dojścia do określonych wniosków podczas analizy twórczości artystki. Do odkodowania poszczególnych treści posłużyła analiza historycznych wydarzeń mających wpływ na formowanie się kobiecej rzeźby współczesnej w Polsce oraz zestawienie twórczości Barbary Zbrożyny z dziełami twórców rzeźby powojennej, włączanych przez Piotra Piotrowskiego do Znaczeń modernizmu (1999). Stanowi to próbę rekonstrukcji dialogu ze spuścizną artystyczną jej poprzedników, do której artystka luźno nawiązywała, zdecydowanie wypracowując swój własny język artystyczny.
On local bifurcations in nonlinear continuous-discrete dynamical systems
Authors: Akmanova S. V. , Yumagulov M. G.
Published: February 2025

The dynamics of nonlinear continuous-discrete (hybrid) systems and its dependence on the sampling step h are studied. Such systems contain phase variables and equations with both continuous and discrete time. The main focus of the work is the issue of local bifurcations during loss of stability of equilibrium points of hybrid systems. Sufficient signs of bifurcations are given, the properties of bifurcations are studied, and possible bifurcation scenarios are determined. The concept of transversal bifurcation is introduced, meaning that the corresponding eigenvalue of the matrix of the linearized problem passes through the unit circle when the parameter h passes through the bifurcation point h0. It is shown that in a one-parameter formulation, two main scenarios are typical: transversal bifurcation of period doubling and transversal Andronov-Hopf bifurcation, while the scenario of transversal bifurcation of multiple equilibrium, as a rule, is not realized. Examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches in the problem of studying bifurcations in hybrid systems.

Published: February 2025

This article explores the challenges and applications of the octonion Fourier transform, with a focus on wavelet analysis. We extend the Moritoh wavelet transform to the octonionic Besov spaces, the weighted octonionic Besov spaces, the octonionic BMO spaces, and the octonionic weighted BMO spaces. The derived bounds for the octonionic Moritoh wavelet transform in these spaces contribute to a deeper understanding of its behaviour. Our findings pave the way for future research in signal processing, image analysis, and the intersection of octonion wavelet analysis with other mathematical theories.

Abstract
A notification from Buenalimento S.L. (Chile) has been submitted to the European Commission under Article 14 of Regulation [European Union (EU)] 2015/2283 to place on the market dried fronds of Durvillaea incurvata (Suhr) Macaya as a traditional food from a third country (TF). In line with Article 15(2) of that Regulation, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was asked by the European Commission whether there are duly reasoned safety objections to the placing on the market of the TF within the EU. The TF consists of the dried fronds of the brown algae D. incurvata that, according to the applicant, have been consumed for more than 25 years in Chile. The TF is proposed to be marketed in the EU in various dried forms, including whole intact fronds, chopped fronds or small and formless sifted fronds fragments. Based on the cadmium, iodine and inorganic arsenic content in the TF, EFSA considers that the TF may pose a safety risk to human health. Thus, EFSA raises safety objections to the placing on the market within the EU of the TF (dried fronds of D. incurvata).
