A serious challenge of the chronic administration of dexamethasone (DEX) is a delay in wound healing. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the potential of Tadalafil (TAD)-loaded proniosomal gel to accelerate the healing process of skin wounds in DEX-challenged rabbits. Skin wounds were induced in 48 rabbits of 4 groups (n = 12 per group) and skin wounds were treated by sterile saline (control), TAD-loaded proniosomal gel topically on skin wound, DEX-injected rabbits, and DEX+TAD-loaded proniosomal gel for 4 weeks. The optical photography, transmission electron microscopy, in vitro release profile, and stability studies revealed the successful preparation of the selected formula with good stability. DEX administration was associated with uncontrolled oxido-inflammatory reactions, suppression in immune response in skin wounds, and consequently failure in the healing process. TAD-loaded proniosomal gel-treated rabbits manifested a marked enhancement in the rate of wound closure than control and DEX groups (p < 0.05). The TAD-loaded proniosomal gel successfully antagonized the impacts of DEX by dampening MDA production, and enhancing total antioxidant capacity, coupled with modulation of inflammatory-related genes, inducible nitric oxide synthase, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1β, and matrix metalloproteinase 9, during all healing stages (p < 0.05). This was in combination with significant amplification of immune response-related genes, CD68 and CD163 (p < 0.05). Moreover, the histopathological, Masson’s Trichrome-stain, and immune-histochemical studies indicated a successful tissue recovery with the formation of new blood vessels in groups treated with TAD-loaded proniosomal gel, as manifested by well-organized collagen fibers, upregulation of transforming growth factor β1, and vascular endothelial growth factor immune expression in skin tissues (p < 0.05). Overall, the topical application of TAD-loaded proniosomal gel is useful in improving the delayed wound healing linked to DEX therapy via regulating the release of inflammatory/macrophage activation mediators and enhanced antioxidant capacity, angiogenesis, and vascularity.
Anomaly detection in virtual machine logs against irrelevant attribute interference

Published: January 2025

Virtual machine logs are generated in large quantities. Virtual machine logs may contain some abnormal logs that indicate security risks or system failures of the virtual machine platform. Therefore, using unsupervised anomaly detection methods to identify abnormal logs is a meaningful task. However, collecting accurate anomaly logs in the real world is often challenging, and there is inherent noise in the log information. Parsing logs and anomaly alerts can be time-consuming, making it important to improve their effectiveness and accuracy. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a method called LADSVM(Long Short-Term Memory + Autoencoder-Decoder + SVM). Firstly, the log parsing algorithm is used to parse the logs. Then, the feature extraction algorithm, which combines Long Short-Term Memory and Autoencoder-Decoder, is applied to extract features. Autoencoder-Decoder reduces the dimensionality of the data by mapping the high-dimensional input to a low-dimensional latent space. This helps eliminate redundant information and noise, extract key features, and increase robustness. Finally, the Support Vector Machine is utilized to detect different feature vector signals. Experimental results demonstrate that compared to traditional methods, this approach is capable of learning better features without any prior knowledge, while also exhibiting superior noise robustness and performance. The LADSVM approach excels at detecting anomalies in virtual machine logs characterized by strong sequential patterns and noise. However, its performance may vary when applied to disordered log data. This highlights the necessity of carefully selecting detection methods that align with the specific characteristics of different log data types.
The Bimanual Observation of The Hands (BOTH): Development, reliability, and validity for stroke rehabilitation
Authors: Rand Debbie , Omer Nitsan , Levkoviz Amihai , Assadi Khalil Samar
Published: January 2025

Importance

To efficiently perform bimanual daily tasks, bimanual coordination is needed. Bimanual coordination is the interaction between an individual’s hands, which may be impaired post-stroke, however clinical and functional assessments are lacking and research is limited.

Objectives

To develop a valid and reliable observation tool to assess bimanual coordination of individuals post-stroke.

Design

A cross-sectional study.

Setting

Rehabilitation settings.

Participants

Occupational therapists (OTs) with stroke rehabilitation experience and individuals post stroke.

Outcomes and measures

The development and content validity of BOTH included a literature review, review of existing tools and followed a 10-step process. The conceptual and operational definitions of bimanual coordination were defined as well as scoring criteria. Then multiple rounds of feedback from expert OTs were performed. OTs reviewed BOTH using the ‘Template for assessing content validity through expert judgement’ questionnaire. Then, BOTH was administered to 51 participants post-stroke. Cronbach’s alpha was used to verify internal reliability of BOTH and construct validity of BOTH was assessed by correlating it to the bimanual subtests of The Purdue Pegboard Test.

Results

Expert validity was established in two-rounds with 11 OTs. Cronbach’s alpha was α = 0.923 for the asymmetrical items, 0.897 for the symmetrical items and 0.949 for all eight items. The item-total correlations of BOTH were also strong and significant. The total score of BOTH was strongly significantly correlated with The Purdue–Both hands placement (r = .787, p < .001) and Assembly (r = .730, p < .001) subtests.

Conclusions and relevance

BOTH is a new observation tool to assess bimanual coordination post-stroke. Expert validity of BOTH was established, excellent internal reliability and construct validity were demonstrated. Further research is needed, so in the future, BOTH can be used for clinical and research purposes to address bimanual coordination post-stroke.
Mesothelial cell responses to acute appendicitis or small bowel obstruction reactive ascites: Insights into immunoregulation of abdominal adhesion

Published: January 2025

Previous abdominal surgery (PAS) increases risk of small bowel obstruction (SBO) due to adhesions, and appendectomy (appy) is an independent risk factor for abdominal adhesion-related complications. Peritoneal inflammation, e.g., acute appendicitis (AA), causes formation of reactive ascitic fluid (rA) that activates peritoneum surface mesothelial cells (MCs) to form adhesions. Pathologic adhesions may arise if restoration of MC-regulated fibrinolysis and secretion of glycocalyx (GCX) are disrupted. Proteins affecting these processes may originate from peritoneal rA. This is a prospective observational IRB-approved study at three Level 1 trauma centers where rA is collected prior to surgical intervention for non-perforated AA or adhesiolysis for SBO. Samples from 48 appy and 15 SBO patients were used to treat human MCs and subjected to quantification of 85 inflammatory mediators. Results were compared between patients with surgically naïve abdomens (naïve) and patients with >1 PAS. Select rA caused MCs to form clusters of fibroblastic cells, extracellular matrix fibers (FIB), and secretion of GCX. PAS and naïve patient rA fluids were clustered into “fiber-GCX” (FIB-GCX) groups: highFIB-highGCX, highFIB-lowGCX, noFIB-highGCX, noFIB-lowGCX, and noFIB-noGCX. Between groups, 26 analytes were differentially abundant including innate immune response, wound healing, and mucosal defense proteins. Factors that contributed to the differences between groups were rA-induced highFIB and history of PAS. Overall, PAS patient rA showed a muted immune response compared to rA from naïve patients. Our data suggest that abdominal surgery may negatively impact future immune responses in the abdomen. Further, quantifying immunomodulators in peritoneal rA may lead to the development a personalized approach to post-surgical adhesion treatment and prevention.

Authors: Zuo YaHui , Li Mei , Cao JinJin , Wang JiaNan , Cai WenQian , Zhang Lu , Li Meng
Published: January 2025

Background

Assessing the level of transition readiness in adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease is crucial; however, standardized research tools are lacking. This study aimed to map transition readiness assessment tools for adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease and determine their suitability.

Methods

A literature review following the Arksey and O’Malley scoping review methodology was conducted. By using appropriate key terms, literature on transition readiness assessment tool searches were conducted in the CNKI, WanFang, SinoMed, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases, with a reference search. The retrieval period was from the establishment of the databases to January 2024.

Results

A total of 2561 studies were obtained through a preliminary search, and 5 references were obtained as retrospective references. Finally, 21 studies were selected for this review. In total, 20 transition readiness assessment tools were identified. Qualitative findings were grouped into five thematic areas: descriptive characteristics of reviewed articles, development procedures, design, psychometric properties, and cohort characteristics for validity testing of transition readiness assessment tools.

Conclusions

The most appropriate way to assess the transition readiness of adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease is to select an assessment tool that is most suitable for individual needs, accompanied by a comprehensive patient evaluation. Despite some flaws in the methodology, TRM is currently the most suitable assessment tool, and more population studies are needed to validate it.

Published: January 2025

Cycling is a beneficial physical activity for rehabilitating individuals with lower-limb amputations and serves as a feasible leisure sport. However, the optimal bicycle configuration for cycling with a unilateral transtibial prosthesis at leisure levels has not been investigated. For saddle height at professional cycling levels, existing literature suggests utilizing the same configuration as that used by intact cyclists, where the knee reaches 25–35° at maximum extension. However, leisure cyclists tend to select lower saddle heights, and cycling with a unilateral transtibial prosthesis infers altered biomechanics during cycling practice. This study aimed to investigate the effects of cycling at different saddle heights with a simulated unilateral prosthesis. Ten able-bodied participants wore orthoses to simulate prosthetic conditions. The experimental task was performed on an ergometer at 40 W resistance, 60 rpm to simulate leisure cycling. Standard saddle height was defined as maximum knee extension of 45°. This height was used as the control condition and its trials were performed without orthoses. The variable heights were set as height percentage variations (-7%, -3.5%, 0, +3.5%, and +7%). Muscle activity, joint movement, force application to the pedals, perceived exertion, and comfort were evaluated. The -3.5% and -7% saddle heights resulted in joint movement and muscle activity levels closer to those in the control conditions, which also showed improved power symmetry between the affected and non-affected legs. In addition, the -3.5% height increased comfort level in participants. In conclusion, selecting lower saddle heights may be beneficial for unilateral transtibial amputees during leisure cycling. The optimal saddle height for this population may maintain maximum knee extension within the 37–45° range, dynamically measured on the affected side.
Global, regional, and national survey on burden and Quality of Care Index (QCI) of orofacial clefts: Global burden of disease systematic analysis 1990–2019
Authors: Sofi-Mahmudi Ahmad , Shamsoddin Erfan , Khademioore Sahar , Khazaei Yeganeh , Vahdati Amin , Tovani-Palone Marcos Roberto
Published: January 2025

Background

Orofacial clefts are the most common craniofacial anomalies that include a variety of conditions affecting the lips and oral cavity. They remain a significant global public health challenge. Despite this, the quality of care for orofacial clefts has not been investigated at global and country levels.

Objective

We aimed to measure the quality-of-care index (QCI) for orofacial clefts worldwide.

Methods

We used the 2019 Global Burden of Disease data to create a multifactorial index (QCI) to assess orofacial clefts globally and nationally. By utilizing data on incidence, prevalence, years of life lost, and years lived with disability, we defined four ratios to indirectly reflect the quality of healthcare. Subsequently, we conducted a principal component analysis to identify the most critical variables that could account for the observed variability. The outcome of this analysis was defined as the QCI for orofacial clefts. Following this, we tracked the QCI trends among males and females worldwide across various regions and countries, considering factors such as the socio-demographic index and World Bank classifications.

Results

Globally, the QCI for orofacial clefts exhibited a consistent upward trend from 1990 to 2019 (66.4 to 90.2) overall and for females (82.9 to 94.3) and males (72.8 to 93.6). In the year 2019, the top five countries with the highest QCI scores were as follows: Norway (QCI = 99.9), Ireland (99.4), France (99.4), Germany (99.3), the Netherlands (99.3), and Malta (99.3). Conversely, the five countries with the lowest QCI scores on a global scale in 2019 were Somalia (59.1), Niger (67.6), Burkina Faso (72.6), Ethiopia (73.0), and Mali (74.4). Gender difference showed a converging trend from 1990 to 2019 (optimal gender disparity ratio (GDR): 123 vs. 163 countries), and the GDR showed a move toward optimization (between 0.95 and 1.05) in the better and worse parts of the world.

Conclusion

Despite the positive results regarding the QCI for orofacial clefts worldwide, some countries showed a slight negative trend.

Published: January 2025

A identificação numa obra impressa do séc. XVII de uma inscrição desconhecida com o epitáfio de Sextus Olius Taurus, mandado fazer por sua filha Olia F(…) ou T(…), permite ao Autor confrontar estes personagens com os que se encontram nomeados num voto consagrado a Enobolicus (CIL II 142), Tusca Olia Tauri f(ilia) e Quintus Statorius Taurus, concluindo tratar-se da mesma família, que entronca no primeiro dos indivíduos aqui nomeados. Para além da raridade dos gentilícios presentes, a aparente simplicidade destes textos revela-se profundamente enganosa, já que contêm elementos de controversa explicação: a própria forma teonímica Enobolico (dat.), a inversão posicional entre nomen e cognomen, a filiação indicada através do cognomen paterno em genitivo em contexto de cidadãos romanos, e o registo extensivo dos praenomina.
Epigraphy, onomastics and local society at the western limits of the territory of Augusta Emerita
Authors: Edmondson Jonathan
Published: January 2025

To provide a securer basis for the identification of the western limits of the territory of the Roman colony of Augusta Emerita (Mérida), this contribution examines in detail the epigraphic evidence from the western section of the modern Spanish province of Badajoz and the Portuguese concelhos of Elvas and Estremoz. The first part provides an updated analysis of all attestations from this region of individuals enrolled in the Roman voting tribe of Emerita – the Papiria – and those who styled themselves Emeritenses. The second part examines the onomastics of all individuals attested in this region, focusing on the onomastic structure of their names and the nomina gentilicia represented, and argues that these are more compatible with the onomastics of those attested in the urban centre of Emerita and other parts of its territory than with those found in the neighbouring communities of Ebora and Ammaia.
Actores periféricos y periodismo en Twitch: análisis de la calidad de los contenidos informativos en live streaming
Authors: Mondéjar Dámaso , García-Avilés Jose-Alberto
Published: January 2025

Las formas en las que el periodismo y las redes sociales se relacionan se han vuelto cada vez más complejas. En este contexto, destaca un fenómeno que ha auspiciado la participación de los usuarios en el debate público: la retransmisión en directo de contenidos informativos por parte de actores periféricos en Twitch. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas y análisis de contenido el lenguaje, formato y estructura de cuatro streamers en Twitch y medir la calidad, las similitudes y las diferencias en función de si intervienen periodistas profesionales o no. Las cuentas de Twitch analizadas muestran diferencias formales y de enfoque entre los periodistas y los actores periféricos. Sin embargo, es posible identificar un cierto grado de continuismo entre ambos. Asimismo, las características propias de la plataforma, así como sus códigos y lenguajes, condicionan la actividad periodística, promueven la participación del público y la dotan de un carácter más informal, en ocasiones, incumpliendo los criterios de calidad en la labor informativa.
Heinrich von Veldeke i el model tristanià de Chrétien de Troyes
Authors: Dalmases Paredes Joan
Published: January 2025

Tristran muose sunder sînen danc (MF 58,53) és una de les estrofes més memorables de tot el corpus líric del Minnesänger i ministerial Heinrich von Veldeke (abans del 1150 - ca. 1200). L’autor hi descriu breument la passió amorosa que sent envers la seva dama, caracteritzada pel lliure albir, i la contraposa a la que sent el personatge de Tristany, obligat a estimar Isolda per efecte del filtre amorós. Diversos autors han proposat que Veldeke s’hagués servit d’una font romànica per a bastir aquesta composició, concretament de D’Amors qui m’a tolu a moi (L 39,2), de Chrétien de Troyes. El present article no només analitza i encara ambdós textos per a cercar possibles coincidències formals i/o temàtiques, sinó que també indaga en totes les hipotètiques influències romàniques de Veldeke per tal de llistar i analitzar succintament totes les estrofes del corpus trobadoresc romànic i alemany que contenen referències a Tristany i al filtre amorós dels cèlebres amants tràgics, moltes d’elles obra d’alguns dels grans trobadors occitans i francesos, com ara Bernart de Ventadorn, Cercamon, Blondel de Nesle i el Châtelain de Coucy. Aquest procediment ens ha permès resoldre tal qüestió i arribar a la conclusió que l’estrofa del Minnesänger pot vincular-se estretament a la de Chrétien de Troyes.
El refrany popular «Lloat sia Déu!» en la poesia catalana del segle XVI
Authors: Rovira Cerdà Helena
Published: January 2025

Procedeix de la capella polifònica del duc de Calàbria Ferran d’Aragó el volum conegut com a Cançoner d’Uppsala, imprès a Venècia en 1556. De les cinquanta-cinc cançons amb notació musical que s’hi conserven, n’hi ha quatre en català: un virolai, una requesta d’amor, una particular cançó de malmaridada i una cançó de Nadal. El text de la malcasada, iniciat «Què farem del pobre Joan», alterna dos refranys diferents: un refrany-bagatel·la i «Lloat sia Déu». En aquest treball comentem la relació d’aquest text amb dues contrafactures ja identificades per Josep Romeu i hi afegim un nou testimoni, obra del poeta mataroní Joan Pujol. La breu contrafactura en clau espiritual de Joan Timoneda, «Alegrau-vos, pare Adam», es conserva en un plec poètic imprès a València cap al 1560. El text de Timoneda és molt proper a l’original profà i manté encara l’alternança entre els refranys. En canvi, se n’allunya un poc més una altra contrafactura presentada en forma de diàleg entre sant Josep i el mosso Joan, la qual forma part de la Consueta de la nativitat de Jesús Christ, copiada al ms. 1139 de la Biblioteca de Catalunya, procedent de Mallorca i datada entre 1598 i 1599. Pel camí s’ha perdut el refrany-bagatel·la i ha canviat l’esquema mètric. A aquestes relacions intertextuals, ja assenyalades per Romeu, hi afegim també la nadala «Adorem tots cristians», conservada al ms. 4495 de la Bibliothèque Mazarine, que transmet la major part de les composicions de Joan Pujol. Aquesta peça és la més extensa de les contrafactures que aprofiten el refrany «Lloat sia Déu».

Published: January 2025

Sedentary behavior and low physical stimulation in companion animals have increased obesity and related metabolic disorders. Dietary fibers, such as prebiotic polysaccharides, are potential adjunct therapies for these conditions. This systematic review evaluated the effects of prebiotic intake on blood glucose and serum cholesterol levels in dogs. Using the PICOS strategy, we focused on eutrophic and obese dogs treated with prebiotics (Intervention) versus placebo diets (Comparison) in randomized clinical trials (Study design). The outcomes assessed were blood glucose and serum cholesterol concentrations. Two reviewers independently searched five databases and grey literature, assessing bias with the SYRCLE protocol. From 2,518 articles, 22 were pre-selected for full-text review, and nine met the inclusion criteria. Qualitative analysis revealed that prebiotic intake significantly reduced serum cholesterol in 57% of studies, particularly in non-obese dogs (75%), without exceeding physiological limits. However, blood glucose levels were unaffected in most studies (71%). The studies demonstrated low risk of bias, though blinding procedures were often poorly described. Due to study heterogeneity, meta-analysis was not feasible. We concluded that prebiotic ingestion effectively reduces serum cholesterol in dogs, with minimal impact on blood glucose levels.

declamação no lied alemão do século XIX
Authors: Ruthner Simone
Published: January 2025

A canção Gretchen am Spinnrade de Schubert e Goethe é conhecida como um marco na história do lied, um gênero da canção alemã que se desenvolve no século XIX, conquistando sua autonomia. O que distingue o lied das demais formas é a peculiar relação entre a música e a poesia, e neste contexto, a declamação dos versos se torna objeto de discussão entre os compositores. Coincidindo com o florescimento do teatro alemão, a arte da declamação se torna uma discussão estética. Aqui nos propomos a iluminar aspectos da declamação relacionados à métrica, ao andamento e ao ritmo da fala, assim como à própria performance, que de certa forma antecipa procedimentos criativos musicais. As teorias e análises aqui apresentadas refletem parcialmente as pesquisas realizadas durante o projeto de doutorado, no qual se buscou, em perspectiva comparada, integrar os campos da língua e literatura alemã e da musicologia.

Nosso texto apresenta uma breve comparação entre políticas interculturais brasileiras e mexicanas. Ele é um dos resultados do projeto “Cartografias de Interculturalidade: Dores, Obstáculos, Alegrias, Avanços e Transformações Epistemológicas através das Políticas Educacionais”, realizado através de uma pesquisa pós-doutoral na região mesoamericana mexicana. Trata-se de uma exploração dos resultados da pesquisa, na qual se sistematiza uma topografia sobre a variação entre políticas interculturais. Buscamos ressaltar alguns elementos das políticas interculturais em ambos os países, tentando colaborar no fomento e no refinamento de tais políticas, que são fundamentais para a universidade, a democracia e os territórios. Chamamos a atenção para a dimensão epistemológica presente (ou não) nas políticas interculturais, refletindo no sentido de Spivak (2010), se são possíveis instituições governamentais interculturais.

Published: January 2025

Os escritos do presente artigo configuram-se sob o objetivo de analisar o panorama legislativo brasileiro que rege as políticas de educação escolar indígena partindo da Constituição Federal de 1988 até a atualidade. Além de reunir documentos resultantes de lutas seculares por parte dos movimentos sociais indigenistas pelo direito a uma educação de qualidade, o texto apresenta a sistematização de dados concernentes à atual situação dessas escolas no território brasileiro. Sua natureza bibliográfica reveste-se de saberes dispostos pela legislação de ordem nacional e pelos pressupostos de autores como Candau (2008), Freire (1998), Gagliardi (1989), Matos (1997), Silva (1981) e Neves (2009). Ao final, compreendemos que as políticas para a educação escolar indígena se encontram em uma fronteira de lutas por validação de direitos, uma vez que a realidade ainda imprime marcas da ideologia colonial, decorrentes de impasses que barram sua plena efetivação nas estruturas do sistema educacional.

Políticas públicas de financiamento Educacional e equidade: o exercício do Programa Dinheiro Direto na Escola
Authors: Katrib Cairo Mohamad Ibrahim , Limonta Filipi Silva , Pereira Hilda Souza
Published: January 2025

O artigo tem como proposta discutir como as políticas públicas de financiamento educacionais no Brasil, em especial o Programa Dinheiro Direto na Escola (PDDE), do Fundo Nacional de Educação (FNDE), tem exercitado a equidade em seus Programas, visando a melhoria da qualidade da Educação Escolar Quilombola. Objetivamos refletir sobre como o PDDE tem contribuído para a consolidação de uma educação mais plural e cidadã.  É perceptível o esforço das políticas de financiamento educacional, em especial a do PDDE, em possibilitar a consolidação de uma gestão escolar democrática e equânime, porém, é necessário um aprimoramento da sua legislação para que atenda as especificidades das comunidades a serem atendidas pela Política. Ressalta-se que um exercício de mudança tem sido praticado, a fim de garantir a valorização dos pertencimentos e das identidades étnico e racial no contexto de uma política pública de financiamento da educação tão duradoura como é o PDDE.
Cases of Judicial Decisions Related to the Human Health Effects of Low-Dose Radiation in Korea
Authors: Han Eunok
Published: January 2025

Background: This study is a comparative analysis of legal decisions by the Korean judiciary regarding human health effects of radiation exposure in lawsuits related to the linear no threshold hypothesis of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), particularly following the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in 2011.Materials and Methods: The legal cases related to radiation exposure and human health effects were searched and compiled using legal databases such as ‘national law information center,’ ‘case note,’ and ‘LBOX.’ Keywords such as ‘radiation,’ ‘human health effects,’ ‘lawsuit,’ ‘radiation effects,’ and ‘disease’ were used to search for relevant legal cases, leading to the identification of a total of nine legal decisions. The original texts of these cases were analyzed. The analysis categorized the cases based on the distinction between the plaintiff, radiation doses, types of diseases, and the results of the lawsuits.Results and Discussion: Four lawsuits ruled that there is a causal relationship between radiation exposure and human health effects. These rulings were made in 2016 (two cases), 2018, and 2022. In cases where the radiation exposure doses were precisely recorded as 1.71 mSv and 2.09 mSv, the rulings also concluded that there was a causal relationship between radiation exposure and human health effects. In contrast, five lawsuits concluded that there was no causal relationship between low-dose radiation exposure and human health effects, ruling that a radiation exposure of 12.25 mSv was not related to the disease.Conclusion: Judicial rulings on radiation risks must be consistent and equitable. The ICRP recommends standards for radiation protection and dose limits. Based on these recommendations, the executive branch must establish consistent guidelines, and judicial rulings must maintain consistency in accordance with these standards.

Published: January 2025

The Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA), introduced by Xin-She Yang and Suash Deb in 2009, is a nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization technique modeled on the brood parasitism behavior of certain cuckoo bird species. Utilizing a Levy flight mechanism, CSA effectively balances global exploration and local exploitation, making it a versatile tool for addressing non-linear, multi-modal, and high-dimensional optimization problems.
This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of CSA, detailing its biological foundation, mathematical framework, and algorithmic processes. Key modifications, including hybrid approaches, adaptive mechanisms, and domain-specific enhancements, are reviewed to illustrate how CSA has been refined to tackle increasingly complex optimization challenges. Applications spanning engineering, machine learning, energy systems, robotics, and telecommunications highlight CSA’s versatility and efficiency in solving real-world problems.
Despite its strengths, challenges such as parameter sensitivity and computational demands in large-scale scenarios persist. To address these, avenues for future research are proposed, including the integration of CSA with emerging technologies like quantum computing and advanced machine learning techniques. This study underscores CSA’s role as a cornerstone of modern metaheuristic optimization, offering a robust framework for solving diverse and challenging problems.
Introducing the Sounds of Objects in Early Childhood Daily Life through a Collection of Early Childhood Fairy Tales
Authors: Zubaedah Siti
Published: January 2025

This study examines the use of the storybook Koleksi Dongeng PAUD: Mengenal Suara di Sekitar Kita (PAUD Storybook Collection: Recognizing Sounds Around Us) as a tool to introduce everyday sounds to young children. Using a qualitative method with a content analysis approach, the research explores the narratives and illustrations in the book, which are designed to familiarize early childhood learners with various sounds. Data analysis was conducted through three main stages: data reduction, data presentation, and data verification to understand patterns in sound recognition and their impact on children’s cognitive, emotional, and social development. The findings reveal that the book introduces two main categories of sounds, those originating from humans, such as heartbeats, humming, coughing, sneezing, growling stomachs, and chewing sounds during eating, and those from the surrounding environment, such as knocking on doors, vehicle horns, breaking objects, splashing water, ticking clocks, and bicycle bells. The book fosters children’s development by introducing sound recognition, environmental understanding, and social interaction reflection. Its stories enhance self-awareness, identity formation, and language skills. This research’s significance lies in its innovative integration of auditory learning into storytelling, promoting cognitive, emotional, and moral growth in early childhood. However, it is limited by its focus on specific sounds and the lack of empirical testing to assess long-term effectiveness. Its cultural specificity may also limit broader applicability. Future studies should explore diverse sounds, including cultural and natural environments, and examine longitudinal impacts. Cross-cultural adaptations could transform similar books into universal educational tools.

A Case of High Power Distance: Sycophantic Adherence in Fraudulent Malfeasance and its Critical Implications for Auditor Oversight
Authors: Maulidi Ach
Published: January 2025

The objective of this study is to observe the dynamics of romantic relationships between leaders and subordinates in the context of committing fraud. We conducted semi-structured interviews with participants from the upper echelons of Indonesia’s local government. These individuals were chosen due to their roles in overseeing the organization’s financial resources. Our findings indicate that obedience to authority serves as an alternative explanation for fraudulent activities. Subordinates frequently justify their fraudulent actions as part of their organizational duties. The presence of romantic relationships between leaders and subordinates facilitates manipulative activities and makes fraudulent behavior more feasible. Consequently, when such romantic relationships are present, collusive fraud is more likely to occur. Our research extends beyond traditional frameworks like the fraud triangle, fraud diamond, and fraud pentagon. Therefore, we offer recommendations for organizations to develop alternative strategies for fraud mitigation.

(Ne)přehodnocování reprezentace původních obyvatel Severní Ameriky
Authors: Crhák Ondřej
Published: January 2025

Tento článek zkoumá reprezentaci a přehodnocování původních obyvatel Ameriky v kontextu americké a české společnosti se zaměřením na posuny od koloniálních narativů k současnému postkoloniálnímu diskurzu. Zkoumá nedávný vývoj, jako je omluva prezidenta Joea Bidena domorodým komunitám a nakládání s kulturními reprezentacemi původních Američanů v rámci českých veřejných akcí, jako je Memoriál generála Custera v Praze. Studie poukazuje na přetrvávání romantizujících pohledů v české kultuře a staví je do kontrastu s kritickou sebereflexí, která se objevuje v amerických institucích. Na základě analýzy muzejních exponátů a vnímání veřejnosti si práce klade za cíl odhalit rozdíly v zobrazování a chápání domorodých kultur v České republice a ve Spojených státech a položit si otázku po kulturních a historických faktorech, které stojí za těmito rozdílnými přístupy.

Theory-supported corpus pedagogy for ESL pre-service teachers: using Parallel EAP Corpora for language learning
Authors: Yan Jiahao , Ma Qing
Published: January 2025

Corpus technology (CT) as an effective technology for language learning is slowly being adopted by in-service language teachers. However, there is limited focus on pre-service language teachers, who first need to experience CT and gain a basic corpus literacy as learners. Therefore, this research aimed to demonstrate the learning benefits of CT to pre-service teacher and explore their intentions for future use of CT. A corpus pedagogy supported by constructivism, socio-cultural theory, and noticing hypothesis, was designed to help three-classes of pre-service ESL teachers in Chinese Hong Kong to improve citation skills using Parallel EAP Corpora. A mixed-method design was adopted by collecting data via tests, surveys, classroom interactions and interviews. The results revealed that the participants learned to use reporting verbs for citations, acquired adequate corpus literacy, positively evaluated the theory-supported pedagogy, and expressed strong intentions to use CT for learning vocabulary and academic writing, conducting research to complete course assignments, and facilitating future teaching. The findings highlight the significance of designing corpus-based learning activities through theory-supported pedagogy and reveal that introducing CT to pre-service ESL teachers who have multiple identities as language learners, novice researchers, critical thinkers, and future teachers, can have important pedagogical implications.
