TRADUCCIÓN E INTERPRETACIÓN EN LOS SERVICIOS PÚBLICOS Y RECURSOS FORMATIVOS PARA LENGUAS DE MENOR DIFUSIÓN: TENDIENDO PUENTES ENTRE INVESTIGACIÓN Y FORMACIÓN
Authors: Vitalaru Bianca
Published: February 2025

Muy pocos estudios se centran en la recopilación y la descripción o el análisis de diferentes tipos de recursos formativos para la TISP y se centran en determinados ámbitos. Nuestro tema se enmarca en la importante relación entre la traducción y documentación de los traductores e intérpretes y en la necesidad de conocer la variedad de recursos disponibles para la formación en TISP. Concretamente, proponemos dos objetivos principales. En primer lugar, clasificar por competencias (terminológica, temática y estratégica) los recursos recopilados a través del proyecto Erasmus+ DIALOGOS. En segundo lugar, analizar los recursos en el marco de dichas competencias para mostrar tendencias temáticas y lingüísticas especialmente en relación con las lenguas de menor difusión. La importancia de los hallazgos radica en varios aspectos: demuestra la variedad de recursos disponibles, su accesibilidad y adaptabilidad y determina aspectos temáticos esenciales que deben abordarse mediante la documentación y la formación en general incluidas las áreas críticas como la asistencia humanitaria y protección internacional, la gestión de crisis, la atención sanitaria y los procedimientos jurídicos de todo tipo.
Sabina Spielrein and Her Definition of Language (1911–1931)
Authors: Faluvégi Katalin
Published: February 2025

Abstract: Many among the first generation of psychoanalysts, Freud, Ferenczi, István Hollós, and Sabina Spielrein expressed a strong interest in linguistics. Of these authors, Spielrein is the one whose oeuvre shows systematic dedication to the subject. This paper will demonstrate the development of her interest in a linguistic approach, which combined psychoanalytic thought, developmental psychology, and a wide knowledge of linguistics. This had occurred by the time of Spielrein’s Geneva period, (1920–1923.). This paper is divided into three main parts. In the first, I will discuss the linguistic themes within her oeuvre, define their main areas, and describe the five key studies that demonstrate Spielrein’s approach to linguistics. The second and third parts of the paper focus on the analysis of these texts. The second chapter traces the signs of linguistic orientation in the first part of her work (1911–1920). The third analyzes three key texts written in Geneva and one in the Soviet Union, in the chronological order they were written. I will try to present the linguistic approach unraveling these complex texts in a way that the reader would be able to sense through the complementary and mutually supportive presence of the three sciences: psychoanalysis, the psychology of cognitive development and linguistics. I have two objectives when analyzing and connecting these texts. One is to show how Spielrein’s knowledge grew continuously and how her own experiences enriched what she had learned from her mentors, Freud, Jung, Bleuler and Piaget. The other is to emphasize that Spielrein managed to synthesize her orientation before 1920, mostly relying on psychoanalytical and Jungian elements, and her growing interest in the psychology of mental development after 1920, into a unique and consistent linguistic approach.
Exploring adaptation routes to cold temperatures in the Saccharomyces genus
Authors: Pinto Javier , Balarezo-Cisneros Laura Natalia , Delneri Daniela
Published: February 2025

The identification of traits that affect adaptation of microbial species to external abiotic factors, such as temperature, is key for our understanding of how biodiversity originates and can be maintained in a constantly changing environment. The Saccharomyces genus, which includes eight species with different thermotolerant profiles, represent an ideal experimental platform to study the impact of adaptive alleles in different genetic backgrounds. Previous studies identified a group of adaptive genes for maintenance of growth at lower temperatures. Here, we carried out a genus-wide assessment of the role of genes partially responsible for cold-adaptation in all eight Saccharomyces species for six candidate genes. We showed that the cold tolerance trait of S. kudriavzevii and S. eubayanus is likely to have evolved from different routes, involving genes important for the conservation of redox-balance, and for the long-chain fatty acid metabolism, respectively. For several loci, temperature- and species-dependent epistasis was detected, underscoring the plasticity and complexity of the genetic interactions. The natural isolates of S. kudriavzevii, S. jurei and S. mikatae had a significantly higher expression of the genes involved in the redox balance compared to S. cerevisiae, suggesting a role at transcriptional level. To distinguish the effects of gene expression from allelic variation, we independently replaced either the promoters or the coding sequences (CDS) of two genes in four yeast species with those derived from S. kudriavzevii. Our data consistently showed a significant fitness improvement at cold temperatures in the strains carrying the S. kudriavzevii promoter, while growth was lower upon CDS swapping. These results suggest that transcriptional strength plays a bigger role in growth maintenance at cold temperatures over the CDS and supports a model of adaptation centred on stochastic tuning of the expression network.
Emotion regulation and compassion fatigue in mental health professionals in a context of stress: A longitudinal study
Authors: Brillon P. , Dewar M. , Lapointe V. , Paradis A. , Philippe F. L.
Published: February 2025

Introduction

Mental health professionals (MHP) are exposed to several stressors and have emotionally demanding jobs. They must effectively manage their emotions within their everyday practice. Emotion regulation is therefore a key element in understanding how MHPs can protect themselves psychologically. Abundant research shows that healthy and effective emotion regulation can protect against the negative impact of stress on compassion fatigue. However, this perspective does not consider the dynamic interaction that emotion regulation and compassion fatigue can have over time. A much less researched perspective is how compassion fatigue can change emotion regulation styles over time. The present research focused on this dynamic perspective.

Objective

We took advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic, a stressful period for MHPs, to study the effect of perceived stress on the direction of the changes in emotion regulation styles and compassion fatigue over time.

Methods

Data on stressors, perceived stress, emotion regulation styles (i.e., dysregulation, integration, and suppression), and compassion fatigue were collected from 390 MHPs at two time points over ten months.

Results

Findings from a cross-lagged path analysis suggests that perceived stress predicted increases in dysregulation over time. Moreover, there were bidirectional longitudinal associations between dysregulation and compassion fatigue, with each predicting increases in compassion fatigue and dysregulation over time, respectively.

Conclusions

This study contributes to the limited research on the factors that influence how MHPs regulate their emotions and their susceptibility to compassion fatigue. Implications of emotion regulation for MHPs’ own mental health and ability to do their work effectively are discussed.
Convolutional neural network for gesture recognition human-computer interaction system design
Authors: Niu Peixin
Published: February 2025

Gesture interaction applications have garnered significant attention from researchers in the field of human-computer interaction due to their inherent convenience and intuitiveness. Addressing the challenge posed by the insufficient feature extraction capability of existing network models, which hampers gesture recognition accuracy and increases model inference time, this paper introduces a novel gesture recognition algorithm based on an enhanced MobileNet network. This innovative design incorporates a multi-scale convolutional module to extract underlying features, thereby augmenting the network’s feature extraction capabilities. Moreover, the utilization of an exponential linear unit (ELU) activation function enhances the capture of comprehensive negative feature information. Empirical findings demonstrate that our approach surpasses the accuracy achieved by most lightweight network models on publicly available datasets, all while maintaining real-time gesture interaction capabilities. The accuracy of the proposed model in this paper attains 92.55% and 88.41% on the NUS-II and Creative Senz3D datasets, respectively, and achieves an impressive 98.26% on the ASL-M dataset.
Research on key factors influencing Chinese designers’ use of AIGC: An extension based on TAM and TRI
Authors: Yao Yu , Wang Xiang , Sun Kaiqiang
Published: February 2025

With the rapid development of AI intelligent technology, AIGC can bring an innovative revolution to art creation, providing designers with unlimited possibilities but also challenges. These challenges affect the willingness to adopt and constrain the sustainable development of AIGC. The purpose of this study is to analyse the factors of designers’ adoption intention behaviours. This study reconstructed the research model by combining the factors of AIGC technology characteristics and interactivity, technology acceptance model, technology readiness model, etc. The empirical study was conducted from the dual perspectives of AIGC application characteristics and designers’ psychology, in order to predict the factors that predict designers’ behavioural intentions to use AIGC. In this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted among designers in China and 462 valuable responses were received. Through structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis, the study found that: (1) AIGC’s technical features and interactivity positively affect perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness, but the interactive features do not directly affect perceived usefulness; perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness positively affect designers’ intention to adopt AIGC applications; (2) optimism and innovation positively affect technical features and designers’ intention to adopt; Insecurity negatively affects designers’ willingness to adopt, and insecurity does not affect technical features; discomfort does not affect designers’ technical features and willingness to adopt. This study further extends the theoretical models of TAM(Technology Acceptance Model) and TRI(Technology Readiness Model), provides a theoretical basis for studying designers’ adoption behaviour of AIGC, and enriches the application groups and domains of the theoretical models of TAM and TRI. The results of this study provide inspiration for the development, design, and marketing of AIGC applications, contributing to the realisation and further adoption of AIGC applications, as well as to the professional development of designers.
Based on PCA and SSA-LightGBM oil-immersed transformer fault diagnosis method
Authors: Wang Jizhong , Chi Jianfei , Ding Yeqiang , Yao Haiyan , Guo Qiang
Published: February 2025

A fault diagnosis method for oil immersed transformers based on principal component analysis and SSA LightGBM is proposed to address the problem of low diagnostic accuracy caused by the complexity of current oil immersed transformer faults. Firstly, data on dissolved gases in oil is collected, and a 17 dimensional fault feature matrix is constructed using the uncoded ratio method. The feature matrix is then standardized to obtain joint features. Secondly, principal component analysis is used for feature fusion to eliminate information redundancy between variables and construct fused features. Finally, a transformer diagnostic model based on SSA-LightGBM was constructed, and the ten fold cross validation method was used to verify the classification ability of the model. The experimental results show that the SSA-LightGBM model proposed in this paper has an average fault diagnosis accuracy of 93.6% after SSA algorithm optimization, which is 3.6% higher than before optimization. At the same time, compared with the GA-LightGBM and GWO-LightGBM fault diagnosis models, SSA-LightGBM has improved the diagnostic accuracy by 8.1% and 5.7% respectively, verifying that this method can effectively improve the fault diagnosis performance of oil immersed transformers and is superior to other similar methods.
Changes in management of owned cats in the countryside – A comparison of results from surveys undertaken in the same rural area of Denmark in 1998 and 2022

Published: February 2025

This study investigates changes in the management of owned domestic cats (Felis catus) in a rural area of Denmark, at two points in time separated by 24 years. Households in a 47 km2 area, and on 23 farms near this area, were presented with the same questionnaire in 1998 and in 2022. Additional data about the number of cats earmarked/microchipped and registered in 1998 were provided by two cat registers. The study population was compared to other rural areas in Denmark using data collected in 2021 from a nationwide probability survey of cat owners. The study area was found to represent rural areas in Denmark well. From 1998 to 2022, our study found a slight drop in the total number of owned cats. There was a major shift away from cats living on farms; this was true both of full-scale farms (that is, farms from which the farmer makes a living) where the number of cats decreased by two-thirds between 1998 and 2022 compared to 1998; and on hobby farms, where the number halved over the period. However, the number of cats living in residential homes nearly doubled, and, correspondingly, there was also a significant increase in the proportion of cats with indoor access. Cat owners have increasingly adopted measures to manage their cats, including much higher proportions of cats being spayed and castrated (there was an increase from 61% to 98% among male cats with indoor access and from 13% to 70% among male cats without indoor access). There was, also, a major increase in cats that have been earmarked/microchipped and registered, rising from 8% to 64%. This change in owner behaviour has led to many fewer unwanted kittens being born and subsequently killed. The findings therefore provide evidence of changing rural human-cat relationships, with rural cat owners increasingly managing their cats in the same way as urban cat owners. Our findings also help to explain recent evidence that the number of unowned cats in Denmark is much lower than previously assumed.
Evaluating Covid-19 publications for sex and gender-specific health content: A bibliometric analysis
Authors: Oyasu Abigail , Salter-Volz Aysha , Yeh Chen , Muhammad Lutfiyya N. , Jagsi Reshma , Woitowich Nicole C.
Published: February 2025

Background

Sex and gender are key variables which inform human health and disease. It remained unclear how sex and gender were considered, evaluated, reported, or analyzed within Covid-19 research. This article evaluates the proportion of Covid-19-related articles which highlighted sex- or gender-specific health content and examines associations with author gender.

Materials and methods

Article records for 134,008 publications indexed in the LitCovid database were extracted on June 1st, 2021. Metadata such as publication year, author names, and country of institutional affiliation were obtained from Elsevier’s SCOPUS database by matching PubMed Identifiers (PMIDs). Only articles with matching SCOPUS records were included in the study, resulting in a final sample of 94,488 articles. First and last author gender was assigned to a subset of 71,597 articles. Article title, abstracts, and keywords were screened for sex or gender-specific health content using a text-based search strategy. Descriptive statistics and regression analyses were used to study associations between author gender and the presence or absence of sex or gender-related health content.

Results

Only 4% of Covid-19-related articles highlighted sex or gender-related health content. Papers with women first authors were more likely to highlight sex or gender-related health content compared to papers with men as first authors (4.15% n = 1,339 vs 3.68%, n = 1,997) [X2 (1, n = 86,468) = 12,01, p = 0.0005]. Papers with women first and last authors had an increased probability of addressing sex or gender-related health with an odds ratio of 1.16 (95% CI 1.04 – 1.29). While there was no association between author gender and journal impact, articles which highlighted sex or gender-related health content were published in journals with higher CiteScores [Mdn = 5.0, Q1-Q3 (3.5–8.2) vs. Mdn = 4.7, Q1-Q3 (2.8–8.0)].

Conclusions

The paucity of publications to highlight sex or gender in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic is alarming. Research that focuses on the influence of sex and or gender is essential for advancing the scientific understanding of disease processes.
TGF-Net: Transformer and gist CNN fusion network for multi-modal remote sensing image classification
Authors: Wang Huiqing , Wang Huajun , Wu Linfen
Published: February 2025

In the field of earth sciences and remote exploration, the classification and identification of surface materials on earth have been a significant research area that poses considerable challenges in recent times. Although deep learning technology has achieved certain results in remote sensing image classification, it still has certain challenges for multi-modality remote sensing data classification. In this paper, we propose a fusion network based on transformer and gist convolutional neural network (CNN), namely TGF-Net. To minimize the duplication of information in multimodal data, the TGF-Net network incorporates a feature reconstruction module (FRM) that employs matrix factorization and self-attention mechanism for decomposing and evaluating the similarity of multimodal features. This enables the extraction of distinct as well as common features. Meanwhile, the transformer-based spectral feature extraction module (TSFEM) was designed by combining the different characteristics of remote sensing images and considering the problem of orderliness of the sequence between hyperspectral image (HSI) channels. In order to address the issue of representing the relative positions of spatial targets in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, we proposed a spatial feature extraction module called gist-based spatial feature extraction module (GSFEM). To assess the efficacy and superiority of the proposed TGF-Net, we performed experiments on two datasets comprising HSI and SAR data.

Published: February 2025

Aim

To investigate the prevalence of various morphological variations in the roots and canals of lower mandibular molar teeth in the Saudi subpopulation and measure the distance from the root apices to the inferior alveolar canal (IAC).

Materials and methods

A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 149 CBCT scans from Taibah University the College of Dentistry (TUCD). Three evaluators independently reviewed scans for anatomical features such as the number of canals, the presence of radix molaris (RM), and root-to-IANC distances. Teeth observed from the medullary cavity to the root apical layers on the coronal, sagittal and cross-section views. Data was analyzed using SPSS 21.0 software. Statistically significant differences were defined at p < 0.05.

Results

The prevalence of RM ranged between 0.7%-3.4% in lower first and second molars. The number of the canals in the apex ranged between 2–4 canals, with most molars showing three canals. The prevalence of 2 canals in lower first molars is around 2% and in lower second molars is 9.2%. A significant age-related correlation was noted in distances from the mesial and distal roots to the IAC, with values ranging from 0 to 14.7 mm.

Conclusion

The study reveals diverse root and canal morphologies and varying distances to the IANC within the Saudi subpopulation, emphasizing the necessity for precise preoperative radiographic assessments to optimize endodontic outcomes and reduce procedural risks. Findings suggest the need for further research into these anatomical variations to refine diagnostic and treatment strategies in endodontics, particularly in diverse populations to improve patient outcomes.
Examining holistic processing strategies in dogs and humans through gaze behavior
Authors: Park Soon Young , Niehorster Diederick C. , Huber Ludwig , Virányi Zsófia
Published: February 2025

Extensive studies have shown that humans process faces holistically, considering not only individual features but also the relationships among them. Knowing where humans and dogs fixate first and the longest when they view faces is highly informative, because the locations can be used to evaluate whether they use a holistic face processing strategy or not. However, the conclusions reported by previous eye-tracking studies appear inconclusive. To address this, we conducted an experiment with humans and dogs, employing experimental settings and analysis methods that can enable direct cross-species comparisons. Our findings reveal that humans, unlike dogs, preferentially fixated on the central region, surrounded by the inner facial features, for both human and dog faces. This pattern was consistent for initial and sustained fixations over seven seconds, indicating a clear tendency towards holistic processing. Although dogs did not show an initial preference for what to look at, their later fixations may suggest holistic processing when viewing faces of their own species. We discuss various potential factors influencing species differences in our results, as well as differences compared to the results of previous studies.
Mapping women’s work in India: An application of small area estimation
Authors: Srivastava Swati , Kumar Kaushalendra , McDougal Lotus , Upadhyay Ashish Kumar , Hay Katherine , Singh Abhishek
Published: February 2025

Background

Understanding variations in women’s work participation at lower administrative levels, such as districts, is a missing link in identifying trends, patterns and variation that can offer insights into this long-term stagnation. We link data from the 2019–21 Indian National Family Health Survey and the 2011 Indian Population and Housing Census to generate estimates of women’s work within 640 districts of India, and to examine the spatial clustering of women’s work across these districts. We examine women’s work through three outcome variables, namely, district-level estimates of 1) percentage of women who worked in the past 12 months, 2) percentage of women who were self-employed in the past 12 months, and 3) percentage of women who earned cash in the past 12 months.

Results

Diagnostic measures confirm that our model-based estimates are robust enough to provide reliable district-level estimates of women’s work in India. Women’s work and cash earnings were lowest in the districts of the central, eastern, and northern regions, and highest in the southern region. Self-employment rates for women were generally low in Indian districts, except for districts in Himachal Pradesh and the north-eastern region.

Conclusions

Considerable spatial heterogeneity in women’s work has been found across 640 districts of India. Our study demonstrates that estimated percentage of women who worked in the past 12 months, estimated percentage of women who earned cash in the past 12 months and estimated percentage of women who were self-employed in the past 12 months all vary substantially at the district level. Having only state-level estimates may thus be inadequate to inform efforts to remediate low levels of women’s work in India. The insights from our current study may help in the formulation and implementation of targeted policies that increase opportunities for women to expand their paid work in India.
Hosta clausa (Asparagaceae) in East Asia: Intraspecific chloroplast genome variation and its phylogenomic implications
Authors: Yang JiYoung , Kim Seung-Chul
Published: February 2025

Hosta species are abundant in northeastern Asia, offering significant ornamental and horticultural value due to their diverse foliage colors and textures, as well as their showy, fragrant flowers. Among the eight taxa naturally distributed in Korea, H. clausa is found in central and northern Korea, as well as northeastern China, providing valuable resources for developing and improving new varieties. Currently, four intraspecific taxa of H. clausa are recognized at the variety level based on reproductive (opened vs. closed perianth), vegetative (leaf shape), and habitat characteristics: var. clausa, var. normalis, var. ensata, and var. geumgangensis. Despite its horticultural and taxonomic importance, little is known about the degree of intraspecific chloroplast genome variation and relationships among the varieties of H. clausa. This could provide some valuable information for marker-assisted breeding programs and molecular cultivar identification. In this study, we investigated the complete plastid genome of 14 accessions of H. clausa, covering its native distribution range. We characterized genome size and features and performed comparative plastome analyses (frequency of codon usage, nucleotide diversity, mutation hotspots). Our analysis revealed highly conserved structures and gene content organization in H. clausa, along with significantly (two to three times) lower nucleotide diversity compared to intraspecific herbaceous and woody species. The phylogenetic analysis did not support the recognition of intraspecific taxa as currently delimited, and a broad-scale geographical structure of complete plastomes was not apparent. The asexual reproductive mode of H. clausa appears to contribute to the low plastome genetic diversity. A total of 72 polymorphic sites identified among 14 accessions of H. clausa and their phylogenetic relationships, in conjunction with their geographical distribution and morphological characteristics, will be a valuable resource for barcoding study, marker-assisted breeding programs, and developing conservation strategies for hosta species in East Asia.
Optimal fiber mix and prediction model for compressive strength of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete
Authors: Gao Ping , Xie Weihong , Ling Yongqiang , Xu Hongfa
Published: February 2025

Incorporating single or mixed types of fibers into concrete is an effective method for enhancing its performance. This study aimed to investigate the optimal fiber mix for hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) that includes end-hooked steel fibers (ESF), corrugated steel fibers (CSF), and polypropylene fibers (PF), and to predict its compressive strength. To this end, three combinations of HFRC were designed: ESF and CSF (EC-HFRC), ESF and PF (EP-HFRC), and CSF and PF (CP-HFRC), respectively. Plain concrete and single-fiber reinforced concrete with the same mix proportions were also designed for comparison. The compressive strength test results demonstrate slight to moderate enhancement in the concrete’s compressive strength when hybrid fibers are employed. The hybrid effects observed in both EP-HFRC and CP-HFRC are superior to those of EC-HFRC. The optimal fiber mixing combinations are identified as 0.2% PF combined with 1.5% ESF for EP-HFRC and 0.2% PF along with 1.5% CSF for CP-HFRC. Compared with single steel fiber admixture and no fiber admixture, the mixing of hybrid fibers can significantly impact the failure mode of concrete. A novel mathematical model, based on the theory of composite mechanics, has been proposed to accurately predict the compressive strength of single steel fiber reinforced concrete and EC-HFRC, as evidenced by its close alignment with experimental data. The results of this paper provide substantial theoretical support for the design and optimization of HFRC.

Published: February 2025

Purpose

To assess the utility of fundus autofluorescence (FAF) patterns for predicting the EYS genotype in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients.

Methods

This retrospective, multi-institutional study analyzed FAF images from 200 RP patients (74 with EYS and 126 without EYS) from Singapore and Japan. Seven FAF patterns including the infinity sign and a broad banded hyper-autofluorescent leading edge were evaluated for their association with the EYS genotype.

Results

The infinity sign and broad banded hyperautofluorescent leading edge occurred more frequently in EYS eyes (p = 0.0014 and p = 0.036 respectively). Logistic regression analysis showed that the infinity sign was predictive of EYS (p = 0.003). The combined FAF parameters predicted EYS with a specificity of 95.20%, sensitivity of 25.68% and accuracy of 69.50%, with a cut-off value 0.5 based on the probability of seven FAF parameters.

Conclusions

In this multinational cohort study of patients with RP, we demonstrated that specific FAF patterns, particularly the infinity sign, have clinical utility in identifying patients with EYS-associated disease. These findings may be useful for clinicians and geneticists when genotyping patients with RP, and may also enhance our understanding of underlying pathophysiology of EYS-associated RP, which is a prevalent cause of RP in Asia and elsewhere.
Feminismo neoliberal en Instagram: análisis crítico del discurso feminista en perfiles influencers en contexto español (2018-2022)
Authors: Torres Parada Andrea
Published: February 2025

Este estudio analiza la matriz ideológica de las cuentas de influencers feministas en Instagram en el Estado español, entre 2018 y 2022, y en su relación con el neoliberalismo. Se centra, desde el Análisis Crítico del Discurso (ACD), en cuentas con más de un millón de seguidores, en concreto Freeda, Moderna de pueblo y Cultura Inquieta. La investigación, de carácter exploratorio, confirma que estas cuentas introducen aspectos neoliberales en sus discursos. Entre las lógicas destacadas se encuentran el empoderamiento femenino a través del consumo, la legitimación de grandes empresas como agentes de cambio social, y el emprendimiento como símbolo de empoderamiento. Se evidencia un feminismo neoliberal híbrido que, aunque promueve la diversidad y la inclusión, perpetúa lógicas individualistas y de consumo. Asimismo, el estudio subraya la utilidad del ACD para evidenciar cómo estos discursos refuerzan desigualdades y benefician al sistema capitalista.
O conflicto armado interno o amenaza terrorista: el falso dilema en el argumento negacionista del conflicto armado en Colombia
Authors: Maya Bedoya Miguel Ángel
Published: February 2025

Un debate conceptual ha definido la agenda política de las últimas décadas en Colombia. La discusión sobre la existencia o no de conflicto armado interno ha ocupado a intelectuales, formadores de opinión, medios de comunicación, políticos de oficio, a la sociedad civil en general y, en particular, a los gobiernos centrales. Muy numerosas han sido las investigaciones académicas y las columnas de prensa publicadas, las manifestaciones ciudadanas y los programas de campaña y de gobierno que han tomado forma a la luz de esa controversia. Como sostiene Botero, “Se trata, claro está, no únicamente de un debate académico: el asunto tiene y va a tener en el futuro significativas repercusiones en el ordenamiento jurídico interno, en el comportamiento político, y hasta en las mismas relaciones internacionales” (2007, pg. 19). En este artículo me propongo reconstruir los razonamientos de quienes han negado la existencia del conflicto armado desde una perspectiva dura, además de evaluarlos desde una mirada lógica. Concluiré que es una argumentación incorrecta y mostraré las razones.
Percepção de estereótipos de gênero na intenção de empreender na área de tecnologia da informação: Um estudo qualitativo com estudantes de graduação de uma universidade federal
Authors: Borges Luana , Ramos Anatália , Ferraz Janaynna
Published: February 2025

O objetivo deste trabalho é compreender como mulheres em formação de ensino superior em Tecnologia da Informação (TI) percebem a influência do estereótipo de gênero na intenção de empreender em sua área de atuação. Por meio de pesquisa qualitativa básica, foram realizadas nove entrevistas semiestruturadas com alunas do curso de Bacharelado em Tecnologia da Informação (BTI) de uma universidade federal brasileira. Como estratégia de análise, empregou-se a análise de conteúdo, na modalidade temática/categorial, com apoio do software ATLAS.ti®. Os principais resultados evidenciaram que os estereótipos de gênero são comuns no setor de TI e que a inserção das mulheres no empreendedorismo tende a ser afetada por essa percepção. Como contribuições teóricas, observou-se uma carência da autorrepresentação feminina em posições de liderança em negócios, e o machismo foi percebido como um problema social e uma causa das desigualdades relatadas. A relevância deste artigo reside na lacuna existente na literatura sobre empreendedorismo feminino sob a ótica dos estereótipos de gênero, especialmente no ramo da TI. As contribuições sociais para a gestão consistem na produção de insights sobre a problemática do empreendedorismo feminino no setor de TI, área com pouca pesquisa empírica sobre o assunto, o que pode auxiliar no desenvolvimento de políticas públicas e iniciativas que promovam a igualdade de gênero e o empoderamento das mulheres nesse campo.
Iodine Staining With Distance Countdown Improving the Safety for Reduction of Adverse Events: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Xi Mingjia , Luo Xinyue , Chen Feifan , Wang Zhu , Xiao Xue , Luo Binyang , Chen Mo , Gan Tao , Yang Jinlin , Deng Kai
Published: February 2025

INTRODUCTION:

Lugol chromoendoscopy (LCE) is valuable, cost-effective, and widely used in early esophageal cancer screening, yet it suffers from low compliance because of adverse events after LCE. In addition, the reflux of iodine during iodine staining in the upper esophagus brings the risk of bucking and aspiration. We introduced a new model called distance countdown (DC) aimed to reduce reflux during iodine staining in upper esophageal LCE.

METHODS:

In this randomized controlled trial, 204 patients were randomized into the DC and No-DC groups. The primary end point was the difference in the incidence of positive starch reagent reaction (iodine solution reflux) between the 2 groups. The secondary end points were the comparisons of the incidence of other adverse events after LCE between the 2 groups.

RESULTS:

The rate of iodine solution reflux was 1.0% in the DC group and 26.5% in the No-DC group (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the incidences of bucking between the 2 groups were 1.0% and 9.8% (P = 0.005). LCE satisfaction rates were 78.4% and 76.5% in the DC and No-DC groups (P = 0.363), respectively. Concerning symptoms after LCE, incidences of sore throat, pharyngeal discomfort or odor, bitter taste, and heartburn were also reduced in the DC group (all P < 0.05).

DISCUSSION:

Adding DC as an auxiliary effect during LCE would reduce the risk of iodine solution reflux, as well as other adverse events after LCE. Implementing this measure could be beneficial in improving the safety of LCE in early esophageal cancer screening.

Published: February 2025

Background and Aims:

Based on endoscopic mucosal resection with ligation (EMR-L), we developed double band ligation–assisted endoscopic submucosal resection (ESR) for complete resection of small submucosal rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Both procedures use a multiband device to perform resection, with the only difference being that ESR adds an additional band to obtain deeper resection margin. This retrospective study aimed to validate its feasibility, safety, and effectiveness compared with EMR-L.

Methods:

This retrospective study included consecutive patients with small (≤ 10 mm) suspected submucosal rectal NETs who underwent ESR (n=45) or EMR-L (n=26) between June 2018 and October 2023 at West China Hospital. En bloc resection rate, complete resection rate, procedure time, margin distance and adverse events were compared between two groups.

Results:

En bloc resections were achieved in all patients. The complete resection rate of ESR was higher than EMR-L (100% vs. 88.5%, P=0.045). The vertical margin (VM) distance and lateral margin (LM) distance were significantly longer in ESR group than EMR-L group (VM distance 782.31 ± 359.45 μm vs. 363.84 ± 222.78 μm, P < 0.001; and LM distance 4205.75 ± 2167.43 μm vs. 3162.94 ± 1419.22 μm, P = 0.008, respectively). There were no significant differences in procedure time, adverse events, postprocedural hospital stay, or medical cost between two groups. In addition, there was no evidence of recurrence or metastasis during the follow-up.

Conclusions:

ESR appears to be safe and effective for complete resection of small submucosal rectal NETs. Larger, multicenter, prospective studies are needed to further assess this technique.

Lesions of the lower extremities in diabetes mellitus are a complex and urgent problem of modern medicine. The high prevalence of diabetes mellitus, significant difficulties in timely diagnosis, differential diagnosis and the choice of therapeutic tactics to preserve the supporting function of the limb determine the difficulties in managing diabetic patients. Over the past decades, significant changes have occurred in the structure of specialized medical care for diabetic foot patients which has significantly reduced the number of high amputations, improved the quality and life expectancy of patients. The article presents the results of the long-term experience of the Diabetic Foot department in the treatment of diabetic foot patients.
Reabilitação provisória com DATs em casos de agenesia de incisivo lateral superior: relato de caso clínico com acompanhamento de três anos
Authors: Salles Daniel , Kusdra Pâmela
Published: February 2025

INTRO﻿DUÇÃO: A agenesia de incisivos laterais superiores tem se tornado cada vez mais presente na clínica ortodôntica e demanda um criterioso plano de tratamento quanto ao manejo dos espaços — que, muitas vezes, foram ocupados total ou parcialmente pelos dentes adjacentes. A opção de abrir espaços para reabilitação protética melhora a estética e preserva a função e a oclusão. Porém, os implantes osseointegráveis são contraindicados para pacientes em crescimento, devido ao risco de ficarem submersos em relação aos dentes em erupção. Nesses casos, os Dispositivos de...

Authors: Saraev Leonid Alexandrovich
Published: February 2025

Проведено исследование влияния стохастических изотермических фазовых превращений в нестабильном материале на его сверхупругое упрочнение.
Получено стохастическое дифференциальное уравнение, описывающее динамику образования и роста объема новой фазы, а также ее взаимодействие с исходной фазой в зависимости от уровня необратимых структурных деформаций.
Установлены макроскопические определяющие соотношения для нестабильного материала, учитывающие стохастическую природу фазовых превращений и зависимость от структурных деформаций. На основе этих соотношений вычислены эффективные модули упругости материала.
Сформулированы стохастические дифференциальные уравнения для прямых и обратных фазовых переходов.
Результаты численного моделирования демонстрируют высокую согласованность с экспериментальными данными, подтверждая адекватность предложенной модели.
Eskalacja na linii Izrael–Iran wobec trwającej rywalizacji obu państw
Authors: Gładysz Adrian
Published: February 2025

Atak na placówkę dyplomatyczną Iranu w Syrii przez Izrael w 2024 roku zapoczątkował kolejny etap eskalacji w historii rywalizacji pomiędzy Tel Awiwem a Teheranem. Niniejszy artykuł poruszył tę kwestię, skupiając się przede wszystkim na konflikcie zachodzącym pomiędzy proaktywną polityką Izraela a polityką wpływów w takich państwach, jak Irak, Syria czy Liban prowadzoną przez Iran. Dzięki temu analiza napierających na siebie działań na arenie międzynarodowej jest wskazywana jako jeden z wielu elementów wpływających na istnienie oraz eskalację wspomnianej rywalizacji. Zostały w nim zaprezentowane elementy polityki zagranicznej z perspektywy historycznej odnoszącej się do aktualnych wydarzeń, jak i poczynienie określonych założeń dotyczących przyszłości. Kontekst rywalizacji został umieszczony nie tylko w stosunku do izraelskich działań w Strefie Gazy, ale również do regionu Bliskiego Wschodu będącego nieodłącznym elementem postrzegania ww. rywalizacji. Pojawiają się również czynniki, które są istotne dla zarysu całej sytuacji oraz należałoby je rozwinąć, tym samym uzyskując nowe wnioski na podstawie całościowej analizy zagadnienia. Praca została skonstruowana w oparciu o czynniki realistyczne, przy rozpatrywaniu skuteczności, a nie słuszności prowadzonej polityki zagranicznej, jednak z pełnym poszanowaniem dla ludzi mających z tym styczność. Niniejszy artykuł analizuje eskalację napięć między Izraelem a Iranem w okresie 1–21 kwietnia 2024 roku, wykorzystując jakościową analizę treści, metodę deskryptywną oraz komparatystyczną. Badanie wykazało, że bezpośredni atak na placówkę dyplomatyczną Iranu stanowił bezprecedensowy punkt zwrotny w historii konfliktu, przekształcając dotychczasową rywalizację pośrednią w bezpośrednią konfrontację militarną.
Multimodal (inter)action analysis in sociolinguistics: an essay analysing a digital video conversation illustrating emotion and heritage language maintenance

Published: February 2025

This essay demonstrates the use of multimodal (inter)action (MIA) analysis to examine the role of emotions in heritage language practice in transnational immigrant families between children and grandparents through digital communication media. The research uses Norris’s MIA framework and multimodal analytical tools to examine a video conversation between a grandmother residing in Bangladesh and her grandchild in Australia. Our study uncovers an intricate interplay of semiotic resources in digital interaction that reflects empathy and a strong emotional bond between the transnational grandparent and grandchild, where family bonding serves as the primary motivator of the conversation. While heritage language practice is visible, it plays a secondary role. We show how MIA can be used to capture the full spectrum of communication in an online video interaction, including the emotional dimensions often overlooked by traditional qualitative methods. Like other MIA studies, we introduce interview data into the analyses to provide a comprehensive understanding of the context of the video call. While our paper demonstrates the utility of MIA in sociolinguistics, it has implications for educators and families, emphasising the need for regular, emotionally engaging digital interactions to support heritage language maintenance and emotional well-being.

Background

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a globally widespread disease. Recent investigations have highlighted a close association between immunity and NAFLD, but the causality between them has not been thoroughly examined.

Methods

A total of 731 immunological traits and NAFLD cohorts were derived from genome-wide association study summary data, and single nucleotide polymorphisms significantly associated with immune traits were identified as instrumental variables. Moreover, 731 phenotypes include absolute cell counts, median fluorescence intensity (MFI), morphological parameters, and relative cell counts. The bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was performed primarily using the inverse-variance weighted methods, and sensitivity analysis was carried out simultaneously.

Results

Four immunophenotypes were identified to exert a protective effect against NAFLD, including HLA-DR+ CD4+ %lymphocytes, SSC-A on CD4+, CD24 MFI on IgD−CD38−, and CD8 MFI on CD28−CD8br. Seven immunophenotypes were identified to be hazardous, including CD28+ CD45RA+ CD8dim%CD8dim, CD127 MFI on CD28+ DN (CD4−CD8−), CD20 MFI on IgD+ CD38br, CD20 MFI on transitional, IgD MFI on transitional, CD3 MFI on central memory CD8br, and CD45 MFI on CD33brHLA-DR+ CD14−. However, reverse MR showed NAFLD had no causal effect on immunophenotypes.

Conclusion

The study demonstrated a potential causal link between several immunophenotypes and NAFLD, which contributes to advancing research and treatment of NAFLD based on immune-mediated mechanisms.
