Authors: Bai Wenyu , Dai Ran , Geng Chunmei , Wang Xinhua , Zhang Nan , Han Jinbao , Yang Wen
Published: February 2025

Aerosol transport flux LiDAR was used to observe heavy pollution events in Luohe City during January 2022 and was combined with monitoring data of ground meteorological parameters and conventional pollutants to analyze the vertical optical properties of aerosols, transport sources, and causes of heavy pollution. Two pollution events (January 2nd–5th and 13th–20th, 2022) were effectively monitored and divided into four pollution phases according to PM2.5 concentrations and relative humidity (RH). The results showed that all ground PM2.5/PM10 values were above 0.5 throughout the pollution, indicating a predominance of fine particulate matter. Analysis of the vertical distribution of aerosol flux LiDAR data showed that the inversion layer was distributed below 1 km; the vertical profile of extinction coefficient showed that all the pollution events were dominated by local emissions, while the contribution of regional transmission during the January 2nd to 5th was also quite prominent; kriging interpolation results showed that this pollution covered the most central and eastern regions of China during January 2022. The flux LiDAR monitoring results showed that there were three main transmission channels of PM2.5: east (Zhoukou, Lu–Wan–Yu–Su junction), northeast (Lu–Yu junction), and southeast (YRD). The analysis of the clustered backward trajectories, potential source contribution function (PSCF), and concentration-weighted trajectory (CWT) models showed that the potential transmission sources of PM2.5 were mainly in junction zones of Lu–Wan–Yu–Su as well as Shaanxi Province, with PSCF values above 0.7 and CWT values above 70 μg/m3. This study could provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of local pollution.
Detail and Deep Feature Multi-Branch Fusion Network for High-Resolution Farmland Remote-Sensing Segmentation
Authors: Tang Zhankui , Pan Xin , She Xiangfei , Ma Jing , Zhao Jian
Published: February 2025

Currently, the demand for refined crop monitoring through remote sensing is increasing rapidly. Due to the similar spectral and morphological characteristics of different crops and vegetation, traditional methods often rely on deeper neural networks to extract meaningful features. However, deeper networks face a key challenge: while extracting deep features, they often lose some boundary details and small-plot characteristics, leading to inaccurate farmland boundary classifications. To address this issue, we propose the Detail and Deep Feature Multi-Branch Fusion Network for High-Resolution Farmland Remote-Sensing Segmentation (DFBNet). DFBNet introduces an new three-branch structure based on the traditional UNet. This structure enhances the detail of ground objects, deep features across multiple scales, and boundary features. As a result, DFBNet effectively preserves the overall characteristics of farmland plots while retaining fine-grained ground object details and ensuring boundary continuity. In our experiments, DFBNet was compared with five traditional methods and demonstrated significant improvements in overall accuracy and boundary segmentation. On the Hi-CNA dataset, DFBNet achieved 88.34% accuracy, 89.41% pixel accuracy, and an IoU of 78.75%. On the Netherlands Agricultural Land Dataset, it achieved 90.63% accuracy, 91.6% pixel accuracy, and an IoU of 83.67%. These results highlight DFBNet’s ability to accurately delineate farmland boundaries, offering robust support for agricultural yield estimation and precision farming decision-making.
Influencing Factors of the Sub-Seasonal Forecasting of Extreme Marine Heatwaves: A Case Study for the Central–Eastern Tropical Pacific
Authors: Lin Lin , Yu Yueyue , Lu Chuhan , Liu Guotao , Wu Jiye , Luo Jingjia
Published: February 2025

Seven extreme marine heatwave (MHW) events that occurred in the central–eastern tropical Pacific over the past four decades are divided into high-(MHW#1 and #2), moderate-(MHW#3–5), and low-predictive (MHW#6 and #7) categories based on the accuracy of the 30–60d forecast by the Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology Climate Forecast System (NUIST CFS1.1). By focusing on high- and low-predictive MHWs, we found that metrics indicative of strong and severe warming (S > 2 and S > 3, where S is MHW severity index) pose greater challenges for accurate forecasting, with the biggest disparity observed for S > 2. All events are intertwined with the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), yet a robust ENSO forecast does not guarantee a good MHW forecast. Heat budget analysis within the surface mixed layer during the rapid warming periods revealed that the moderate and severe warming in MHW#1, #2, #6 are primarily caused by heat convergence due to advection (Adv), whereas MHW#7 is mainly driven by air–sea heat flux into the sea surface (Q). The NUIST CFS1.1 model better captures Adv than Q. High-predictive events exhibit a greater contribution from Adv, especially the zonal component associated with the zonal gradient of sea surface temperature anomalies, which may explain their higher sub-seasonal forecast skills.

Authors: Wang Yi , Ouyang Cheng , Peng Hao , Deng Jingtao , Yang Lin , Chen Hailin , Luo Yahui , Jiang Ping
Published: February 2025

Chili pepper, a widely cultivated and consumed crop, faces challenges in accurately determining maturity due to issues such as occlusion, small target size, and similarity between fruit color and background. This study presents an enhanced YOLOv8n-based object detection model, YOLO-ALW, designed to address these challenges. The model introduces the AKConv (Alterable Kernel Convolution) module in the head section, which adaptively adjusts the convolution kernel shape and size based on the target and scene, improving detection performance under occlusion and dense environments. In the backbone, the SPPF_LSKA (Spatial Pyramid Pooling Fast-Large Separable Kernel Attention) module enhances the integration of multi-scale features, facilitating accurate differentiation of peppers at various maturity stages while maintaining low computational complexity. Additionally, the Wise-IoU (Wise Intersection over Union) loss function optimizes bounding box learning, further improving the detection of peppers in occluded or background-similar scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate that YOLO-ALW achieves a mean average precision (mAP0.5) of 99.1%, with precision and recall rates of 98.3% and 97.8%, respectively, outperforming the original YOLOv8n by 3.4%, 5.1%, and 9.0%, respectively. Grad-CAM feature visualization highlights the model’s improved focus on key fruit features. YOLO-ALW shows significant promise for high-precision chili pepper detection and maturity recognition, offering valuable support for automated harvesting applications.

Published: February 2025

Background: The 2011 Very Early Diagnosis of Systemic Sclerosis (VEDOSS) criteria include both patients at risk of progression and those with mild non-progressive forms of SSc. Early diastolic and systolic dysfunction can indicate myocardial fibrosis in SSc patients, yet data on myocardial impairment in the VEDOSS population are limited. Objectives: This study aimed to identify subclinical echocardiographic changes and predictive markers of cardiac dysfunction in both very early and mild-longstanding forms of VEDOSS. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional observational study involving 61 patients meeting VEDOSS criteria followed up regularly within our Scleroderma referral center. Patients were categorized as early VEDOSS (e-VEDOSS) or mild-longstanding VEDOSS (ml-VEDOSS) based on disease duration (≥10 years). We analyzed clinical and demographic data, focusing on echocardiographic parameters such as the E/A ratio and left ventricular (LV) thickness. Statistical analyses included chi-square, Fischer exact, and student’s t tests, with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. Results: ml-VEDOSS patients were older and reported a higher burden of comorbidities. Autoantibody-positive patients exhibited lower E/A ratios and increased left atrial size. Late nailfold videocapillaroscopic pattern patients exhibited increased PWED thickening and aortic valve insufficiency. Notably, patients undergoing vasodilators experienced larger right atrial volume, while patients receiving Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) inhibitors reported reduced E/A ratio. Multivariable analysis confirmed DLCO% as the sole predictor of both diastolic and systolic impairment in VEDOSS population. Conclusions: Careful monitoring of cardiac function in VEDOSS patients is crucial as subclinical alterations may occur even in the absence of symptoms. DLCO% emerged as an important predictor of LV diastolic dysfunction.
Managerial Climate Awareness, Institutional Investors, and Firms’ Sustainability Performance: Evidence from China
Authors: Zhang Shenyuan , Ma Rufei
Published: February 2025

This paper employs a novel database to investigate the influence of pressure-sensitive institutional investors (PSIIs) in China on the relationship between managerial climate awareness and firms’ sustainability performance. The paper demonstrates that an increase in pressure-sensitive institutional investors shareholding strengthens the positive impact between managerial climate awareness and firms’ sustainability performance. The existence of robust commercial ties between the majority of pressure-sensitive institutional investors and listed companies enables the transmission of pressure to management teams in the form of constraints on companies’ access to capital. This ultimately promotes firms’ sustainable development. Subsequent research demonstrated that the alignment of interests and risk preferences exerts a more pronounced effect in firms characterized by high managerial ownership. Furthermore, financial support from PSIIs manifests as greater intensity in firms grappling with high financial constraints. The utilization of environmental regulations as a competitive strategy, coupled with the capacity for early implementation, serves to amplify the aforementioned positive effect, particularly in contexts where environmental regulation is minimal.
Stochastic Modelling in Multi-Criteria Evaluation of Quality of Life—The Case of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland
Authors: Szaja Marta , Ziemba Paweł
Published: February 2025

Authorities of self-government units, having autonomy in determining the directions of development of their area, can try to use their potential in an optimal way. The actions taken should consequently lead to the creation of the best possible living conditions for the local community. The aim of this article is to verify the hypothesis that the geographical location of self-government units affects the quality of life (QoL) of their inhabitants. Moreover, attempts were made to answer research questions regarding the counties of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship offering conditions ensuring the highest QoL. For this purpose, on the basis of a previously prepared set of criteria and their expert weights, county rankings were developed using the PROMETHEE method. The results of the expert approach were confronted with the results of the stochastic analysis taking into account the uncertainty of the preference model. Based on the results of this research, it was found that the leading positions in terms of QoL in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship were taken by cities with county rights, i.e., Szczecin, Koszalin, and Swinoujscie. At the forefront of counties with the highest QoL were also counties whose capitals were cities with the largest population in the voivodeship.
Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Carbon Storage in Utah: Insights from Remote Sensing and Climate Variables
Authors: Uyar Nehir
Published: February 2025

Climate change mitigation relies heavily on understanding carbon storage dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems. This study examines the relationship between carbon storage (kg/m2) and various climatic variables, including precipitation, temperature, humidity, and radiation. Machine learning models such as Random Forest (RF), Gradient Tree Boost (GTB), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Multiple Regression (MR) were applied. Among these, Random Forest exhibited the highest explanatory power (R2 = 0.95, Adj. R2 = 0.75, F-score = 4.721, Accuracy = 0.67), while ANN showed the highest predictive accuracy (Accuracy = 0.80). The results underline the significant role of climatic factors in shaping carbon dynamics, emphasizing the integration of machine learning-based models in carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) strategies. Furthermore, carbon storage dynamics in Utah from 1991 to 2020 were analyzed using remote sensing data and multiple regression models. Carbon storage was found to be highest in forested areas, wetlands, and natural grasslands, while agricultural and wildfire-affected zones exhibited lower carbon stocks. Climatic factors, particularly precipitation, temperature, and humidity, were identified as significant drivers of carbon sequestration, with moderate precipitation and favorable temperatures enhancing carbon retention. The study highlights the importance of region-specific CCS strategies, which rely on accurate climate-driven carbon storage assessments, for ensuring sustainable resource management and mitigating anthropogenic climate impacts.
The Green Blueprint: Founder Clan Culture Imprints and Green Innovation in Chinese Family Firms
Authors: Lu Feifei , Zang Zixuan , Mehmood Khalid , Ghani Usman , Rao Shuya
Published: February 2025

Drawing on upper-echelon, imprinting, and agency theories, this paper investigates the influence of founder CEOs’ clan cultural values on family firms’ green innovation performance and examines the moderating roles of family involvement and the intensity of government environmental regulation. Using data from 1678 Chinese public family firms over the period from 2012 to 2020, which include 9048 firm–year observations, our results show a significant positive effect of founder CEOs’ clan cultural values on firms’ green innovation practices. Additionally, this positive effect is weakened when the level of family involvement is high, due to conflict. Moreover, the positive influence is strengthened when government environmental regulation is more stringent.
Two Quantum Triatomic Hamiltonians: Applications to Non-Adiabatic Effects in NO2 Spectroscopy and in Kr + OH(A2Σ+) Electronic Quenching
Authors: Petrongolo Carlo
Published: February 2025

This review discusses two triatomic Hamiltonians and their applications to some non-adiabatic spectroscopic and collision problems. Carter and Handy in 1984 presented the first Hamiltonian in bond lengths–bond angle coordinates, that is here applied for studying the NO2 spectroscopy: vibronic states, internal dynamics, and interaction with the radiation due to the X˜2A′(A1)−A˜2A′(B2) conical intersection. The second Hamiltonian was reported by Tennyson and Sutcliffe in 1983 in Jacobi coordinates and is here employed in the study of the Kr + OH(A2Σ+) electronic quenching due to conical intersection and Renner–Teller interactions among the 12A′, 22A′, and 12A″ electronic species. Within the non-relativistic approximation and the expansion method in diabatic electronic representations, the formalism is exact and allows a unified study of various non-adiabatic interactions between electronic states. The rotation, inversion, and nuclear permutation symmetries are considered for defining rovibronic representations, which are symmetry adapted for ABC and AB2 molecules, and the matrix elements of the Hamiltonians are then computed.

Published: February 2025

Background/Objectives: This scoping review aims to identify the diverse existing tools applicable for the measurement of SUD outcomes, examining and comparing their item characteristics, benefits, limitations, cost effectiveness, and overall utility. This study provides recommendations on the next steps toward the design and dissemination of a unified version of a standard SUD outcome measurement tool. Methods: Using PRISMA-ScR guidelines, the databases PubMed and Embase, as well as the grey literature, were searched for existing SUD outcome measurement tools. Additionally, references and information on tools were found via the Addictions Drug and Alcohol Institute Library at the University of Washington. Tools were examined based on their characteristics, benefits, limitations, and overall utility. Results: Thirteen tools met the analysis requirements and were analyzed, revealing great variance. The domains covered by each tool is categorized for comparison among other tools, showing strong focus over some domains more than others. Additionally, great variance in characteristics such as the number of questions, question structure, time required for completion, and scoring were seen. Sources for each of these tools’ development were seen to reveal the unique origination of each, as well as their intended utility. Conclusions: Our analysis highlights the importance of considering certain characteristics when selecting measurement instruments, emphasizing the need for clear and concise questions to enhance levels of adherence and interpretation. The current lack of standardization among SUD measurement tools in assessing new and existing SUD treatment modalities has hindered progress in the field, compromising the quality of care delivered.
Any Way the Wind Blows Does Really Matter in Lichen Response to Air Pollution from an Oil Refinery
Authors: Maslać Mikulec Maja , Likić Saša , Antonić Oleg , Tkalec Mirta
Published: February 2025

Lichens serve as effective bioindicators for air pollution studies, yet most biomonitoring research focuses primarily on the distance from pollution sources, often neglecting wind data that could elucidate the spread of airborne pollutants. In our previous study in Slavonski Brod, Croatia, we utilized data from a monitoring station, emphasizing the impact of meteorological conditions, particularly wind, on the dispersal of pollutants from a neighbouring oil refinery. To gain a deeper understanding of air pollution dynamics, here, we studied lichen vitality—measured through photochemical efficiency and photosynthetic pigments—alongside the metal (Ni, Zn, Cd, Pb) and non-metal (sulphur and nitrogen) content in native lichen species Flavoparmelia caperata across 17 plots within a 20 km radius of the refinery. Our analysis employed generalized linear models (GLMs) to incorporate various environmental predictors, including distance from the refinery, direction-specific wind speed and frequency, vegetation density, and the orientation of lichen samples with respect to north and the refinery. Findings show that pollution levels are significantly influenced, not only by distance but also by direction-specific wind patterns, underscoring the necessity of including these variables in future biomonitoring studies and highlighting a critical need for air quality management interventions.

Published: February 2025

Background: Epizootics of largemouth bass ranavirus (LMBRaV) in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) populations are associated with elevated mortality and significant financial losses. Given the lack of effective and safe medication to treat this disease, oral vaccination, which directly targets the intestinal mucosal immune system, is crucial for disease resistance. Methods: This study utilized carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to coat LMBRaV inactivated vaccine (LIV) (micro-CMC@LIV). The morphology and characteristics of the CMC microcapsules were determined. In vitro simulated gastric and intestinal conditions were used to validate that the microcapsules could tolerate gastric conditions and subsequently release their contents in the intestinal tract. This was confirmed using CMC-coated coumarin 6 (C6) fluorescence microcapsules. Results: After the oral administration of micro-CMC@LIV, the detection of LMBRaV major capsid protein confirmed effective antigen release and absorption in the midgut and hindgut. Neutralizing antibody titers were significantly higher (1:81.71) in the micro-CMC@LIV group compared to the uncoated vaccine group (1:21.69). The expression of genes linked to the innate and adaptive immune systems was upregulated post-micro-CMC@LIV treatment. Following the LMBRaV challenge, the micro-CMC@LIV group exhibited a relative percent survival (RPS) of 82.14%, significantly higher than the uncoated vaccine group (61.61%). Droplet digital PCR analysis revealed significantly lower viral loads in the liver, spleen, and head kidney of the micro-CMC@LIV group compared to the control group and the uncoated vaccine group. Conclusions: These results collectively suggest that the CMC-coated LIV can be effectively delivered to the intestinal tract and induce robust antibody and immune responses, providing a reliable method for preventing and controlling LMBRaV disease in the largemouth bass industry.

Published: February 2025

Background/Objectives: The use of virus-like particles (VLPs) in vaccinology has expanded significantly in recent years. VLPs have the advantage of being non-infectious while effectively stimulating B cell responses through the repetitive presentation of epitope motifs on their surface. Since VLPs are often derived from human-infecting viruses, preexisting immunity may influence the immune response they elicit, warranting further investigation. Methods: We have developed a 60-mer VLP derived from human adenovirus type 3, a common pathogen. We investigated the impact of pre-existing adenovirus immunity on the immunization outcome against the linear S14P5 epitope of SARS-CoV-2, which was engineered into the particle (Ad-VLP-S14P5). To this end, antibody responses to S14P5 were evaluated following immunization with Ad-VLP-S14P5 in either naive or vector-primed mice. Results: Mice with pre-existing anti-vector immunity exhibited significantly greater anti-S14P5 antibody responses compared to vector-naive animals, demonstrating a beneficial impact of prior anti-adenovirus responses. However, the addition of an oil-in-water adjuvant for the immunizations abolished this positive impact, even leading to a deleterious effect of the pre-existing anti-vector immunity. Conclusions: The data suggest that the immune status against immunizing VLPs must be taken into consideration when designing immunization protocols. Importantly, the effects of prior immunity may vary depending on the nature of the protocol, including factors such as adjuvant use.

Published: February 2025

Climate change, population growth, industrialization, overconsumption, and pollution strain water and resources, posing risks to ecosystem sustainability. Urgent action plans based on decision support systems are essential to protect environmental health and secure global food resources. This study employs the Wavelet model to analyze the impacts of agricultural and environmental factors on water resources in a selected irrigation basin by assessing water quality parameters, including chemical, physical, and biological properties, through seasonal sampling and wavelet transformations to detect temporal and spatial trends. Results showed increased salinity, nitrate, boron, total suspended solids (TSS), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in groundwater and irrigation canals, particularly during dry periods. High nitrate (average 0.36 mg/L) and TSS levels (average 1152 mg/L) were linked to agricultural activities, while industrial influences contributed to the variability of boron ranging from 0.01 to 0.40 mg/L and COD ranging from 20 to 235 mg/L. The study highlights the temporal persistence of water quality challenges and spatial differences driven by external and environmental factors. Predictive wavelet analyses suggest that without intervention, water quality could worsen. These findings highlight the need for wavelet-based techniques to develop accurate management strategies for mitigating environmental impacts and ensuring long-term resource sustainability in irrigation-dependent regions.
Are Electric Vehicles a Solution for Arctic Isolated Microgrid Communities?

Published: February 2025

The Arctic presents various challenges for a transition to electric vehicles compared to other regions of the world, including environmental conditions such as colder temperatures, differences in infrastructure, and cultural and economic factors. For this study, academic researchers partnered with three rural communities: Kotzebue, Galena, and Bethel, Alaska, USA. The study followed a co-production process that actively involved community partners to identify 21 typical vehicle use cases that were then empirically modeled to determine changes in fueling costs and greenhouse gas emissions related to a switch from an internal combustion engine to an electric vehicle. While most use cases showed decreases in fueling costs and climate emissions from a transition to electric versions of the vehicles, some common use profiles did not. Specifically, the short distances of typical commutes, when combined with low idling and engine block heater use, led to an increase in both fueling costs and emissions. Arctic communities likely need public investment and additional innovation in incentives, vehicle types, and power systems to fully and equitably participate in the transition to electrified transportation. More research on electric vehicle integration, user behavior, and energy demand at the community level is needed.

In this article I represent the project for moral criticism of law, as developed by Robin West in “Narrative, Law and Authority”. I analyse how the issue of moral criticism of law comes to the fore in the context of legal positivism and I further render it problematic within the Critical Legal Studies that unmask and expose the processes of law’s legitimation in society. I give reasons for the need of applying the methods of the humanities for reaching an independent moral perspective that is not entirely a product of the legal system. I discuss the objections to the humanistic project so that to demonstrate their deficiencies and to reject them, and at the end to reinforce this project as a possible and meaningful moral critique of law.

What happens to treaties, concluded in peacetime, if and when an armed conflict between some or all of the parties thereto breaks out? The answer to such a question was and is one of the most disputed in international law. In the past there have been several attempts to regulate the related to this issue legal aspects on the international level, however the present study aims to make a review mainly of the rules, elaborated in 2011 by the UN International Law Commission. This set of 18 draft articles are of special importance in 2022 in the light of the outbreak of hostilities of February 2022 between the Russian Federation and Ukraine since there exist a good number of treaties to which those two states are parties as of 2022.
Legal Regime of Improvements Carried out in Jointly Owned Property
Authors: Malinov Ivaylo
Published: February 2025

The present article examines the problems arising in one of the specific hypotheses of the general claim for unjust enrichment within the meaning of Article 59 of the Obligations and Contracts Act. In the predominant part of the practice, the courts do not examine in detail the question of whether the impoverished plaintiffs had the intention at all and whether they would objectively receive the property benefits appropriated by the unauthorized person using the foreign item. In this way the practice literally creates an “objective” unjustified enrichment in the presence of usage of someone else‘s property without legal grounds and an established right of ownership of the plaintiff. Further developing this scenario leads to a situation in which the court does not examine whether the plaintiff actually suffered impoverishment, despite the explicit requirement of the norm of Article 59, paragraph 1 of the Obligations and Contracts Act for the presence of such as part of the elements of the factual composition of the norm. The indicated tendency of the judicial practice will be the examined subject of analysis in the following article.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of tumor resection on dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota in patients with right-sided colon cancer.Methods: This study utilized a longitudinal design to explore the outcomes of patients diagnosed with right-sided colon cancer who underwent surgical resection at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital from July to December 2023. We excluded patients with a documented history of comorbidities, specifically those affecting the digestive system. To compare the microbiota (genus and phylum) between patients with right-sided colon cancer and the control group, we conducted bivariate analyses using the independent t-test or Mann-Whitney test. Furthermore, we employed the dependent t-test or Wilcoxon test to assess changes in the dysbiosis of the microbiota (genus and phylum) before and after resection. A P-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: This study included a total of 21 patients diagnosed with right-sided colon cancer. In the control group, Bacteroidetes constituted the highest proportion of intestinal microbiota, accounting for 56.34%. Prior to tumor resection, the intestinal microbiota of patients exhibited Proteobacteria as the predominant phylum, representing 52.97%. Following tumor resection, Bacteroidetes remained the most prevalent, comprising 50.9% of the intestinal microbiota. Significant variations in the levels of Proteobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, and Cyanobacteria/Chloroplast were observed in the intestinal microbiota of patients with right-sided colorectal cancer before and after tumor excision (all P=0.001).Conclusion: The microbiome of patients with right-sided colorectal cancer differed significantly from that of the control group. However, following tumor resection, the microbiome composition of these patients became more similar to that observed in the control group.

Rasgos cultuales y presencia de Zeus en Traquinias de Sófocles
Authors: Pérez Lambás Fernando
Published: February 2025

En su libro sobre Sófocles, Josh Beer afirma que, en Traquinias, Zeus no es mencionado como divinidad local sino sólo como fuerza elemental encargada de garantizar la justicia y el orden. El padre de Heracles, aunque no aparece en la tragedia, es una presencia constante principalmente por su relación con el héroe, pero también como motor indispensable de la acción dramática. Esta presencia se puede constatar a raíz de las muchas alusiones a la divinidad en algunas de sus parcelas de acción, pero también en varios de los cultos que recibía a lo largo de Grecia. Frente a Beer, en este artículo defendemos la importancia de la presencia de Zeus no sólo como fuerza elemental y padre de Heracles, sino también como divinidad local, cultual y protectora, siempre en estrecha relación con el contexto dramático en el que aparece.

Published: February 2025

The roman villa at Saint-Cyr-les-Lecques (département of the Var, on the south east French Riviera) has been partiallly studied from the XVIIth century, by famous archaeologists such as abbot Barthélemy and Adrien Blanchet. The article is an essay for a synthesis using these preliminary reports but also a long unpublished account written by the architect M. R.  Penchaud at the beginning of the 19th century. Eventually, Mrs. Cl. Varoqueaux, archaeo-logist of the CNRS, who made excavations on the site more recently, has also given a new contribution to confirm the chronology of the different phases of the construction. Paintings and mosaics of italic style are also more extensively described. Sculptures also authorized the hypothesis that the owner was a member of the equestrian order.

A logística de medicamentos no Sistema Nacional de Saúde (SNS) de Moçambique enfrenta desafios críticos decorrentes da violência institucional e comunitária. A violência institucional, caracterizada por corrupção, má gestão e desigualdades estruturais, compromete a eficiência do sistema, enquanto a violência comunitária, manifestada na exclusão social, infraestrutura precária e desconfiança nas instituições, agrava as barreiras ao acesso à saúde. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar os impactos dessas formas de violência na cadeia logística e propor um modelo lógico integrado para mitigar seus efeitos. O método adotado foi baseado em uma análise de dados contextuais e estudos recentes, avaliando a interação entre práticas institucionais e fatores comunitários. A pesquisa considerou a implementação do Plano Estratégico de Logística Farmacêutica (PELF) e explorou o potencial da integração de tecnologias emergentes, como inteligência artificial (IA), para otimizar o sistema. Os resultados indicaram que mais de 60% das unidades de saúde enfrentam rupturas regulares de estoque, com maior impacto em comunidades rurais. A fragmentação administrativa e a infraestrutura deficitária foram apontadas como fatores-chave para essas ineficiências. A adoção de tecnologias avançadas, combinada com estratégias de engajamento comunitário, demonstrou potencial para melhorar a previsibilidade de demandas e reduzir desigualdades no acesso a medicamentos. Conclui-se que a transformação da logística de saúde em Moçambique exige um esforço coordenado entre inovação tecnológica, reformas institucionais e participação ativa das comunidades. Estudos futuros devem avaliar a implementação prática do modelo lógico proposto.

Published: February 2025

A exposição a partículas e fumaças geradas durante incêndios florestais representa um risco significativo à saúde de bombeiros e outros profissionais envolvidos no combate ao fogo. Este estudo aborda os efeitos dessa exposição, os riscos associados ao calor intenso e aos produtos tóxicos da combustão, como gases, vapores e substâncias químicas perigosas. Por meio de uma revisão da literatura científica, busca-se diagnosticar e propor melhorias na gestão de protocolos de atendimento a incêndios ambientais, com foco no uso de equipamentos de proteção respiratória (EPR). O objetivo é fornecer subsídios para a tomada de decisões e aprimorar as ações do Corpo de Bombeiros Militar do Estado do Paraná durante operações de combate a incêndios, garantindo maior segurança e proteção à saúde dos bombeiros expostos.

A valva aórtica possui três válvulas (ou cúspides). Essas válvulas são chamadas de semilunares devido à sua forma, e cada uma delas ajuda a regular o fluxo de sangue do ventrículo esquerdo do coração para a aorta, prevenindo o refluxo de sangue para o coração após a contração ventricular, assim, colaborando para que a circulação sistêmica sanguínea mantenha seu direcionamento de sentido único e de pressão adequada para o seu funcionamento. Dentre as diversas patologias que comumente acometem essa estrutura, destaca-se a estenose valvar aórtica (EAo) que consiste no estreitamento do orifício da valva, obstruindo a passagem do sangue para a A. Aorta, tendo como principais causas aspectos congênitos, degenerativos e reumáticos. Com isso, em virtude da complexidade, importância e a priori do perigo que decorrem os pacientes que possuem essa patologia (a estenose valvar aórtica), potencializa-se o destaque na importância do estudo e da divulgação sobre as suas fisiopatologias.

Published: February 2025

Introdução: A fraqueza adquirida na unidade de terapia intensiva (FAUTI) é uma condição frequente em pacientes de unidade de terapia intensiva resultante de fatores como a imobilização, ventilação mecânica, uso prolongado de sedação e hiperglicemia, nesses pacientes, o acompanhamento da perda de massa muscular é imprescindível, pois está intimamente ligada com o aumento da mortalidade, tempo de internação e dependência prolongada da ventilação mecânica, no entando essa monitorização é desafiadora devido às restrições impostas pelo ambiente. Nesse cenário, a ultrassonografia vem ganhando destaque como uma ferramenta promissora à beira leito para avaliação da massa muscular. Objetivos: Analisar a eficácia do ultrassom como ferramenta para avaliação da perda da massa muscular em indivíduos críticos, a fim de prever a FAUTI em pacientes não cooperativos à beira leito. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa nas bases de dados LILACS, MEDLINE, PubMed e Google acadêmico, foi realizada de setembro a novembro de 2024, priorizando os artigos em inglês e português nos últimos 6 anos. Resultados e Discussões: O tempo entre as avaliações por ultrassom nos estudos variou entre o primeiro dia de admissão e vinte e um dias, sendo identificado que há uma alteração na arquitetura muscular nos primeiros sete dias e que a massa muscular, principalmente do quadríceps femoral foi perdida, juntamente com a diminuição do ângulo de penação com aumento progressivo na pontuação da ecogenicidade. Considerações finais: Pacientes críticos frequentemente apresentam perda significativa de massa muscular, especialmente no início da internação, sendo mais evidente no grupo muscular quadríceps femoral, o que apresenta um risco clínico aumentado para o desenvolvimento de FAUTI e a ultrassonografia mostrou-se uma ferramenta eficaz para identificar alterações da arquitetura do muscular.
