Published: February 2025

Health-related academic events that focus on patient-oriented research should prioritize the needs and interests of those most affected by its outcomes. Diabetes Action Canada (DAC) has hosted six in-person workshops over eight years, bringing together over 100 participants from research, healthcare delivery, government, non-profit organizations, and communities with lived experience of diabetes.This paper outlines key lessons and best practices from Diabetes Action Canada’s collaborative approach to workshop co-design with Patient Partners. For the 2024 workshop, a planning committee—primarily composed of Patient Partners—played a central role in shaping the agenda. Their contributions ensured active patient participation, addressed power imbalances, fostered inclusivity, and created supportive spaces. Strategies such as co-designed agendas, symbolic markers for patient-led presentations, and facilitated networking sessions effectively enhanced engagement.Evaluations highlighted the importance of equitable participation and multidisciplinary collaboration, emphasizing the scalability of DAC’s co-design principles for diverse research and healthcare contexts. These insights provide a foundation for inclusive, impactful, and patient-centered event planning.

Published: February 2025

Objective: This scoping review aims to map and synthesise the current research evidence targeting the electroencephalography (EEG) neural correlates during pregnancy and its association with parenting-related measures during pregnancy and postpartum period. Introduction: Pregnancy is characterised by a wide range of biological changes associated with adaptation to parenthood. A growing body of literature has examined the neural correlates of pregnancy using EEG, revealing distinct patterns in pregnant females, with these EEG metrics changing throughout gestation and postpartum. Due to the heterogeneity of the evidence, the current literature lacks an organised synthesis, making it difficult to understand the neural correlates during pregnancy and their association with parenting-related measures during pregnancy and postpartum period.Inclusion criteria: Studies will be included if they contain a quantitative EEG metric in their assessment in pregnant women. Studies will be included if they involve clinical or community samples. No sociodemographic, obstetric, or health exclusion criteria will be applied. Methods: The scoping review will be conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute’s (JBI) guidelines and will be reported following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. Searches will be conducted in 7 databases (Cochrane for Trials and Reviews, PsycInfo, PubMed, Psychological and Behavioural Science Collection, Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection) for articles published in English, Portuguese, or Spanish with no limitation on the region or publication time frame. Two independent reviewers will screen each record following a standardised flowchart using asreview lab. Data extraction will be performed by the two reviewers using charting tables in Excel. Disagreements at any step will be resolved via consensus or by a third reviewer. Results will be reported using tables and graphs along with a descriptive analysis, according to the research questions.
Investigating sensitivity to shared information and personal experience in children’s use of majority information
Authors: Gelpi Rebekah , Otsubo Kay , Whalen Amy , Buchsbaum Daphna
Published: February 2025

Children and adults alike rely on others to learn about the world, but also need to be able to determine the strength of both their own evidence as well as the evidence that other people provide, particularly when different sources of information disagree. For example, if two informants agree on a belief but share the same evidence, their testimony is statistically dependent on each other, and may be weaker evidence for that belief than two informants who draw on different pieces of evidence to support that belief. Across three experiments (total N = 492), we examine how 4- and 5-year-old children evaluate statistical dependency on a task where they must determine which of two jars that toys were drawn from. A majority of informants, whose testimony could draw from the same evidence or different evidence, always endorsed one jar. Then, children were presented with a dissenting informant or their own personal data that was consistent with the other jar. Children showed no sensitivity to statistical dependency, choosing the majority with equal probability regardless of the independence of their testimony, but also systematically overweighted their own personal data, endorsing the jar consistent with their own evidence more often than would be predicted by an optimal Bayesian model. In contrast, children made choices consistent with this model on a similar task in which the data was presented to children without testimony. Our findings suggest that young children treat majorities as broadly informative, but that the challenges of inferring others’ experiences may lead them to rely on concrete, visible evidence when it is available.
Personalized Measurement and Care: A Simulation Study for Validating A Novel Patient-Friendly Experience Sampling Measurement Design
Authors: Jongerling Joran , Schellekens Melanie , Bolsinova Maria A. , van der Lee Marije , Vogelsmeier Leonie V. D. E.
Published: February 2025

Successful personalized treatment requires a thorough understanding of the complex dynamic processes underlying disorders. Intensive longitudinal methods (e.g., experience sampling) that ask patients to complete multiple-item questionnaires several times a day are ideally suited for this. However, collecting such data entails severe patient burden, especially for those with low energy and little concentration (e.g., patients suffering from Chronic Cancer-Related Fatigue and/or psychological disorders such as Somatic Symptom Disorder). This burden is currently predominantly lightened with single-item measures, but these cannot validly capture complex conditions, leading to a catch-22 situation: Capturing complex dynamic processes and effective personalized treatment require intensive longitudinal patient data on multiple-item questionnaires, but patients cannot provide this type of data because it is too taxing. To solve this problem, we developed a personalized missingness design that presents an individualized and time-varying minimal subset of items on each occasion, thereby striking an optimal balance between thoroughly mapping patients’ symptoms and keeping the number of items a person needs to answer to a minimum. The design builds on multilevel factor analyses to determine which sets of items are most informative, which can change over time. Expert-informed simulations validated our new design. While the design can be universally applied to any measurement of (psychological) symptoms (e.g., to inform cognitive behavioral therapy), we tailored our simulations to patients suffering from Chronic Cancer-Related Fatigue in collaboration with experts in Psycho-Oncology. In the near future, the design will be implemented in the widely used experience sampling app m-Path in collaboration with the developers.
Emotional contagion in dyadic online video conferences - Empirical evidence based on self-report and facial expression data [PREPRINT]
Authors: Marx Anton Karl Georg , Sachs David
Published: February 2025

Emotional contagion is an essential and prevalent emotional process in social interaction and comprises the transmission of emotions between two or more individuals. The vast majoriy of prior research explored the emotional contagion in face-to-face human interaction. The present study explored the degree to which emotional contagion occurs in dyadic online video conferences, using subjective self-report and automatically coded facial expression data. In a lab-based experimental approach, 104 participants (in 52 dyads) interacted via synchronized computers. They were prompted to talk to each other about recent personally relevant experiences that made them angry, happy, and sad (3 conditions). We recorded participants’ emotions by means of automated facial expression analysis and retrospective self-report after each condition. Our preregistered analyses provided evidence for emotional contagion of all three emotions during the video conferences based on the self-report data. Regarding facially expressed emotions, only joy seemed to be transmitted, while the frequency of facially expressed anger and sadness was generally very low, and did not differ across conditions. We further explored temporal co-occurrences of facially expressed joy through cross-recurrence quantification analysis. Those results showed that both interaction partners’ facial expressions of joy, but not of anger and sadness, co-occurred significantly above chance. Overall, we conclude that emotions can be transmitted across interaction partners during online video interactions, but the face does not seem to be the key channel for those contagion processes, particularly not for negative emotions.
Knowledge of Politician Stock Trading Reduces Congressional Legitimacy and Compliance with the Law
Authors: Alam Raihan , Rai Tage
Published: February 2025

Institutional legitimacy is essential for democratic functioning, yet public trust and confidence in the United States Congress is at an all-time low. A significant predictor of attitudes toward Congress is perceptions of corruption, with greater perceptions of corruption in government linked to less trust. This study tests whether knowledge of Congressional stock trading affects trust, legitimacy, and compliance with Congressional authority. In a preregistered survey experiment with U.S. citizens (n = 506), participants who read a nonpartisan report detailing how Congress members made higher than expected profits from stock trading in 2024 reported decreased trust and increased perceptions of corruption in Congress. They also viewed laws passed by Congress as less fair and reported being less willing to comply with such laws. Mediation analyses revealed that reduced perceptions of Congressional legitimacy fully mediated the effect of stock trading knowledge on willingness to comply with congressional laws and perceptions of congressional laws being fair. A pre-registered follow-up experiment (n = 664) shows these effects are not driven by the amount that Congress members profit but by how profits negatively affect broader perceptions of legitimacy. These findings highlight the detrimental effects of Congressional stock trading on public perceptions of legitimacy and respect for the rule of law.
Mapping the Unseen in Practice: Comparing Latent Dirichlet Allocation and BERTopic for Navigating Topic Spaces
Authors: Benz Pierre , Pradier Carolina , Kozlowski Diego , Shokida Natsumi S. , Larivière Vincent
Published: February 2025

This article focuses on comparing two widely used techniques of topic modeling, namely latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) and BERTopic. The first is a Bayesian probabilistic model and the latter is rooted in deep learning. It remains unclear what those differences imply in practice, and how they contribute to our sociological understanding of the inner works of science. This paper compares results obtained by LDA and BERTopic applied to the same dataset composed of all scientific articles (n=34,797) authored by all biology professors in Switzerland between 2008 and 2020. We propose a step-by-step demonstration from data pre-processing to the results. Hence we emphasize that understanding their underlying functioning is essential for effectively interpreting the outcomes and balance between the strengths and weaknesses of the two techniques. Although they differ in their operationalization, LDA and BERTopic produce topic spaces with a similar global configuration. However, major differences are observed when focusing on specific multidimensional concepts, such as gene. With evidence from our empirical demonstration, we overall stress that topic modeling offers a highly valuable ground for understanding the semantic structure of scientific fields when combined with in-depth knowledge of the object under scrutiny.
Couples' careers revisited: the role of gender ideologies
Authors: Grunow Daniela , Lietzmann Torsten
Published: February 2025

We assess the role of gender ideologies for couples’ work trajectories, using data from the German panel study Labour Market and Social Security (PASS). First, we conduct a multichannel sequence analysis to identify work trajectories of heterosexual couples in their early-to-mid-career phase, as this is the time when many couples start having children. Second, trajectories are predicted based on both partners’ individual and joint gender ideologies as well as social structural characteristics. We identify six typical work trajectories: (1) dual fulltime, (2) one-and-a-half earner, (3) breadwinner-homemaker, and (4) marginal secondary, all featuring a male fulltime earner. Whereas dual full-time and one-and-a-half earner models are rather widespread, each covering around 30 percent of couples, the other two trajectories are less frequent (covering 13, respectively 12 percent of couples). The last two patterns are the least frequent: (5) dual limited and unstable employment (11 percent), and (6) dual precarious (3 percent). Regression models indicate that gender ideologies matter for some but not all joint work trajectories. Most importantly, gender ideologies predict dual fulltime trajectories: couples’ joint egalitarianism fosters – and essentialist believes in separate spheres hinder – adopting this trajectory. At the same time, these essentialist believes increase the likelihood of adopting a marginal secondary earner trajectory. Our findings reflect the interrelated and partly reverse-causal relationship between couples’ gender ideologies, social structural characteristics and paid work trajectories.
Elementy starożytnych koncepcji filozoficznych tianming i tianxia w przywództwie politycznym komunistycznych Chin
Authors: Pawełczyk Adam
Published: February 2025

Polityczno-filozoficzne koncepcje tianming i tianxia mniej więcej od XI w. p.n.e. były fundamentem legitymizacji władzy politycznej w Chinach. Tianming (‘mandat nieba’) zakładał, że cesarz ma przyzwolenie niebios na sprawowanie władzy, a tianxia (‘wszystko pod niebem’) oznaczało obszar objęty tą władzą. Pomimo wielokrotnych zmian ustrojów – od cesarstwa przez demokrację i dyktaturę po współczesny socjalizm – tradycyjne idee wciąż stanowią ważną wartość dla chińskiego społeczeństwa. Stąd też celem artykułu jest zbadanie, w jaki sposób obecne komunistyczne władze Chińskiej Republiki Ludowej (ChRL) wykorzystują je do sprawowania przywództwa politycznego i do jego legitymizacji. Na podstawie analizy historycznej oraz studium przypadków działań współczesnych władz ChRL autor pragnie dowieść, że obie koncepcje nadal są istotnym aspektem sprawowania władzy w Chinach.
Comparative Study of ‘-Ko’ and ‘-Ne’ Marker in Dative Construction of Delhi-Hindi
Authors: Singh Riya
Published: February 2025

This paper is the comparative study of ‘-ko’ and ‘-Ne’ markers in dative construction of Delhi-Hindi. Although it is well known that ‘-ko’ is the dative marker and ‘-ne’ is the ergative marker in Delhi-Hindi like Hindi-Urdu (Standard Hindi) but Delhi-Hindi also has another kind of construction i.e. ‘dative-substitution’. In dative-substitution construction, ergative ‘-ne’ marker is used in dative construction instead of dative ‘-ko’ marker. This paper explores the specific domains where this construction would be acceptable with respect to morpho-syntactic point of view. It also highlights the possible environment where ‘-Ne’ marker has shown similarities or differences with dative ‘-ko’ marker in Delhi-Hindi. Even it provides evidences to analysis whether this ‘-Ne’ marker is (un)able to substitute already existing ‘-ko’ dative marker in dative constructions. This type of construction is also available in Urdu (Butt, 2006).
Enhanced Pumping of Blood Flow in Peristaltic Transport of Non-Newtonian Fluids
Authors: Singh Anurag , Shah Sapna Ratan
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the peristaltic transport of a non-Newtonian Prandtl fluid in a vertical tube, with particular focus on its physiological relevance to blood flow in the human circulatory system. Blood is modelled as a Prandtl fluid to account for its non-Newtonian behaviour, and key parameters such as pressure gradient, Womersley number, and amplitude ratio are analysed for their impact on velocity profiles and flow rates. Using the regular perturbation technique, analytical expressions for axial velocity and pressure gradient are derived for small Prandtl numbers, and the results are visualized graphically. The findings reveal enhanced pumping efficiency of non-Newtonian fluids compared to Newtonian fluids, demonstrating the significant role of peristalsis in facilitating blood flow in small vessels. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of cardiovascular flow dynamics and provide a basis for advancing biomedical applications, such as the design of medical devices and therapeutic interventions.

Suggestions for Designing a PBL-Enabled Hindi Class: Focusing on Face-to-Face Classroom
Authors: Koh Taejin , Lee Eungu
Published: February 2025

This study explores the application of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in Hindi language education, aiming to develop a customized PBL lesson model tailored to different proficiency levels. Recognizing the growing importance of PBL as an effective pedagogical approach, this research addresses the need for specific strategies to implement it within Hindi classrooms. The study proposes differentiated PBL lesson models for beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners. These include: the "Building a Hindi Village Project" for beginners, focusing on natural acquisition of basic vocabulary and grammar; the "Exploring Indian Culture Project" for intermediate learners, designed to enhance language skills and cultural understanding; and the "Solving Indian Social Problems Project" for advanced learners, challenging them to analyze and propose solutions to complex social issues, thereby developing high-level language proficiency. The research highlights the crucial factors to consider when designing Hindi PBL lessons, such as learner level, Indian culture, learning materials, assessment methods, teacher's role, and learning environment. This study contributes to a learner-centered and self-directed approach to Hindi education, aiming to maximize learning effectiveness and revitalize research in the field. While acknowledging limitations in generalizability due to sample size and the absence of empirical validation of the model's effectiveness, the study suggests directions for future research. These include expanding the study population, implementing the developed PBL model in real classroom settings to assess its impact, and further exploring methods to optimize PBL effectiveness. This study offers potential new avenues for Hindi education and encourages further research to enhance the field.

perlindungan hak asasi manusia (HAM) dalam kasus kekerasan oleh aparat kepolisian terhadap warga di Desa Wadas, dari perspektif penegakan hukum. Kasus kekerasan yang terjadi di Desa Wadas menjadi sorotan karena melibatkan pelanggaran HAM yang dilakukan oleh aparat penegak hukum, yang seharusnya menjadi pelindung masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis upaya penegakan hukum dalam melindungi hak-hak asasi warga Desa Wadas dan mengevaluasi respons aparat penegak hukum terhadap insiden kekerasan ini. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara dengan warga yang menjadi korban kekerasan, aktivis HAM, dan pihak berwenang, serta analisis dokumen terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat sejumlah pelanggaran HAM yang signifikan dalam kasus ini, termasuk penggunaan kekuatan berlebihan oleh aparat kepolisian, penangkapan sewenang-wenang, dan kurangnya akuntabilitas dalam penanganan insiden kekerasan. Upaya penegakan hukum, namun masih terdapat kendala dalam implementasinya, seperti kurangnya transparansi, lambatnya proses hukum, dan ketidakpercayaan masyarakat terhadap aparat penegak hukum. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya reformasi dalam tubuh kepolisian, peningkatan pelatihan tentang HAM bagi aparat penegak hukum, dan penguatan mekanisme pengawasan independen untuk memastikan penegakan hukum yang adil dan transparan.
Kepastian Hukum Terhadap Pendaftaran Peralihan Hak Atas Tanah Melalui Pewarisan Berdasarkan Akta Pembagian Hak Waris
Authors: Nurhadi Dedi
Published: February 2025

Pasal 111 ayat (5) Peraturan Menteri ATR/BPN Nomor 16 Tahun 2021 berfungsi sebagai pedoman untuk memastikan kepastian hukum dalam peralihan hak atas tanah melalui pewarisan menggunakan APW atau APHW. Namun, penerapan praktisnya belum selalu sejalan dengan peraturan ini. Penelitian ini membahas masalah terkait ketidaksesuaian antara akta notaris dan prosedur pencatatan peralihan hak di Kantor Pertanahan. Pertanyaan utama dalam studi ini adalah: Bagaimana kepastian hukum mengenai pendaftaran peralihan hak atas tanah berdasarkan akta pembagian waris menurut Peraturan Menteri ATR/BPN 16 Tahun 2021, dan apa akibat hukum dari pendaftaran tersebut? Penelitian ini menggunakan teori kepastian hukum, sistem hukum, dan perlindungan hukum. Ini adalah studi hukum normatif dengan analisis data kualitatif. Telah dicatat ketidaksesuaian dalam penerapan APW atau APHW, khususnya mengenai perbedaan dalam judul akta yang disiapkan oleh notaris dan praktik pencatatan di Kantor Pertanahan di berbagai wilayah seperti Kabupaten Bogor, Kota Bekasi, dan Kabupaten Karawang. Oleh karena itu pelaksanaan Pasal 111 ayat (5) Permen ATR/BPN 16/2021 pada Kantor Pertanahan sudah dilaksanakan, akan tetapi terdapat pebedaan sebagaimana disebutkan diatas, sehingga terdapat ketidakpastian hukum yang mengakibatkan konfrontasi atau pengabuaran aturan dan akibat hukum terhadap pemegang tunggal hak atas tanah atau penerima hak pewarisan sebagai jaminan perlindungan hukum dan memiliki sertipikat sebagai surat tanda bukti hak dan bagi yang melepaskan hak selaku ahli waris lainnya tidak mempunyai hak lagi dari pewarisan atas tanah tersebut.

The article considers methodological approaches in the formation of leadership competence in the training future officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A leader's competence is the level of maturity required to perform a particular job, the set of knowledge and skills that he uses to achieve a goal or solve problems. In addition, the concept of "competence" as a basic quality of the individual is causally related to effective performance in work or other situations. Basic quality means that competence is a permanent (established) part of the personality that can determine a person's behavior in a large number of situations and work tasks. Causation means that competence determines and causes certain behavior and performance.
Thus, the professional training of future officers-leaders is based on the competence approach - a new conceptual guideline that provides a gradual reorientation of the higher education system in higher military educational institutions to directly provide knowledge and skills to create conditions for mastering certain competencies, forming competent military professionals who are able to apply their knowledge in a changing environment, whose competence would be the ability to engage in continuing self-education.
It is proved that the formation of leadership competence of future officers-leaders in domestic higher military educational institutions is a complex and dynamic process, the components and results of which are in constant motion, and its main goal is to move to a higher level of readiness economic conditions, but the process is not sufficiently scientifically sound, organized, coordinated and orderly.

Based on the analysis of scientific sources, it was proven that professional self-awareness is a significant characteristic of the personal and professional development of psychology students, a factor in the success of their professional training and the effectiveness of future professional activity. Therefore, the study of the dynamics of professional self-awareness of future practical psychologists in the conditions of professional training allows us to identify the strengths and vulnerable aspects of the formation of this phenomenon, which became the primary subject of our empirical research.
A favorable dynamics of the growth of the number of future psychologists with a high level of formation of a professional self-image during their professional training was recorded. It was established that the professional self-assessment of the result of psychology students has significant difficulties in forming due to the prevalence of carriers of inadequate self-esteem.
Эволюция самаритянской эсхатологической экзегезы в XI–XIX вв.
Authors: Нофал Ф.
Published: February 2025

В статье впервые рассмотрено развитие арабоязычной самаритянской эсхатологии, изложенной в жанре комментариев к Пятикнижию в XI–XIX столетиях. Анализу рукописных источников предпослан обзор раввинистических и раннехристианских источников, позволяющих заключить об «эсхатологическом нигилизме» самаритян эллинистической эпохи и обозначить terminus post quem богословствования их потомков о потусторонней жизни. Автор фиксирует количественный и качественный рост текстуальных свидетельств, привлекаемых тремя авторитетными самарянскими авторами: ʼАбу ал-Хасаном ас-Сури, Ибрахимом ал-‘Аййей иИцхаком б. ‘Амрамом, — и выдвигает предположение о постепенном характере легализации учения о бессмертии души и посмертном воздаянии, полностью сложившегося в теологическом дискурсе «гризимцев» только на рубеже XIX и XX вв.

The article for the first time considers the development of the Arabic-speaking Samaritan eschatology, which crystallized in the form of comments on Samaritan Pentateuch in the 11th — 19th centuries. The author points out the quantitative and qualitative growth of textual evidence attracted by three authoritative Samaritan authors (ʾAbū al-Ḥasan al-Ṣūrī, Ibrāhīm al-ʿAyyah and Izḥāq ibn ʿAmram). An assumption is made about the gradual nature of the legalization of the doctrine of the soul immortality and posthumous retribution in Samaritan theological discourse, which developed completely at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The analysis of manuscript sources is preceded by a brief review of Rabbinical and early Christian treatises, which allow us to conclude about the «eschatological nihilism» of the Hellenistic era Samaritans and to designate the terminus post quem of their descendants’ theology about the afterlife.

Tailing is one of the most abundant wastes from gold mining process.  This material usually has a high concentration of some heavy metal such as Pb and Fe, insufficient of some essential elements, and a low caption exchange capacity, organic mater and prohibit microorganism growth. In order to improve rehabilitation tailing area by revegetation, utilization of plant root symbiotic organism, arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF), have been introduced.  Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi, however, need to be support to encourage its colonization to host plant in tailing media.   The objectives of this research were to determine the effect of activated compost application on tailing media to spora density and colonization of arbuscular mycorrhiza on host plant (Melia azedarach seedling) as well as its MEI. Three factors complete randomised experimental design was conducted under green house conditions and DMR Test was used to analyse of the effect of tailing, compost and kinds of AM treatment. Percent of AM colonization to mindi seedling root, AM spore number in media, and Mycorrhiza inoculation effect were measured in this experiment. Application of activated compost on tailing media increased colonization of NPI 126 (Glomus etunicatum) up to 4 times.  This treatment also increased spore number and improve colonization of local AM fungi. The positif  of Mycorrhiza inoculation effect (MIE) value was found on tailing media and mix media without actif compost.  Active a Compost application is potential to improve the AMF role in order to increase the plant growth quality.
Association of Maternal Biomarkers with Gestational Weight Gain and Pre-Eclampsia
Authors: Green Matthew , Chen Xinhua
Published: February 2025

Background: There is convincing evidence that excessive gestational weight gain (GWG), based on the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) 2009 guidelines, increases the risk of both maternal and neonatal complications.1-6 Although the association between excessive GWG and pre-eclampsia is well-established, the reason why this association exists remains unclear.

Methods: Previously collected data from a cohort of pregnant women in Camden, NJ between the years of 1998-2007 was used to examine the association between maternal serum biomarkers (C-peptide, IGF-1, Insulin and Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR)) collected at entry (week 16) and 3rd trimester (week 28) and longitudinally assessed gestational weight gain (GWG) using the IOM guidelines. The relationship between excessive GWG and preeclampsia was also accessed. All analyses were run on SAS v.9.4 (SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC).

Results: This study included 2,418 pregnant women in Camden, NJ between the years 1998-2007. The average maternal age of the cohort was 21.99 (SD = 5.18). The cohort included Hispanic (45.86%), Black( 37.68%), White/Other( 16.46%). This was the first birth for 38.92% of the participants. The average pre-pregnancy BMI was 25.64 (SD = 6.22) and entry blood pressure was 112.20/70.17 (SD = 11.47/8.71). And 18.91% participants reported being smokers.

The odds of excessive gestational weight gain was significantly higher at 24, 28, 32 weeks and delivery for those in the highest level (the 4th quartile) compared to lower IGF-1 level (1st-3rd quartiles) (entry adjusted odds ratio: 1.586-1.843, 3rd trimester adjusted odds ratio: 1.505-1.765 ). The odds of excessive gestational weight gain was significantly higher at 24 and 32 weeks and delivery for those in the highest level (the 4th quartile) compared to other quartiles (1st-3rd quartiles) of C-peptide levels during the 3rd trimester (adjusted odds ratio: 1.332-1.467) . Individuals with excessive gestational weight gain at 28 weeks, 32 weeks and delivery had a 56% to 65% increased risk of developing pre-eclampsia compared to those with adequate gestational weight gain (adjusted odds ratio at 28 weeks: 1.561 [95% confidence interval: 1.029-2.369], adjusted odds ratio at 32 weeks: 1.653 [95% confidence interval: 1.078-2.534], adjusted odds ratio at delivery: 1.564 [95% confidence interval: 1.077-2.271]). Women with pre-eclampsia and excessive gestational weight gain at 24 weeks, 28 weeks, 32 weeks and delivery had the highest average levels of C-peptide and IGF-1 at entry to care. There were no consistent results with insulin and HOMA-IR at entry.

Conclusion: Higher levels of C-peptide and IGF-1 during 3rd trimester of pregnancy appear to be associated with excessive gestational weight gain and pre-eclampsia. Measures should be taken to monitor and control the levels of these biomarkers in pregnant women to reduce the risk of excessive GWG as well as gestational hypertension.

BACKGROUND: The oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) in patients undergoing endodontic procedures is closely linked to their emotional and psychological well-being, which is influenced by factors such as pain management, anxiety, and overall satisfaction with the dental experience. This study aims to investigate the impact of music therapy on endodontic patients' quality of life, with a particular focus on its role in reducing anxiety and managing pain.

METHODS: This study employed a quasi-experimental design among 35 patients over 18 years of age who visited the LASUTH dental clinic for endodontic treatment. The study was utilized to determine the effect of slow, jazz music on pain perception, anxiety, and oral health-related quality of life of patients receiving endodontic therapy. The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS), the Numerical Graphic Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) were utilized for baseline and pot-intervention data collection. Comparative analysis for continuous variables was done using an independent sample T-test and Repeated measures Analysis of variance (ANOVA). Statistical significance was set at P-values <0.05.

RESULTS: Psychological discomfort showed significant reductions in both groups, with a mean difference of 1.507 in the test group (p=0.006) and 1.441 in the control group (p=0.015). Psychological disability also decreased significantly in both groups, with mean differences of 1.168 (p=0.010) and 0.987 (p=0.041) in the test and control groups, respectively. NPRS scores decreased significantly in both groups, with a larger mean difference in the test group (2.660 ± 0.691, p<0.001) compared to the control group (1.920 ± 0.753, p=0.016). OHIP-14 scores also showed significant reductions, with a mean difference of 5.543 ± 1.990 in the test group (p=0.009) and 5.291 ± 2.169 in the control group (p=0.020). There was however no significant difference in pain perception reduction and OHRQOL between the intervention and control groups, despite higher reductions observed in the test group.

CONCLUSION: The study demonstrated significant within-group reductions in psychological discomfort and psychological disability domains of OHIP-14, MDAS, and NPRS scores, with the test group showing more pronounced improvements. However, the lack of statistically significant differences in key outcomes such as pain perception and oral health-related quality of life between the intervention and control groups limits the generalizability and applicability of these findings. While both interventions appear effective in alleviating psychological and physical distress, further research—particularly randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes—is necessary to determine whether music therapy provides measurable benefits beyond standard care.

The quantification of streamflow in river channels is crucial for water resource management, directly influencing the planning of agricultural irrigation, public water supply, and environmental monitoring. However, conventional methods can be expensive and require sophisticated equipment, making the float method a cost-effective alternative for streamflow estimation using simple and easily deployable materials. This study aimed to describe the theoretical and practical procedures for determining streamflow in natural fluvial channels using the float method. The research was conducted in the Piracolino River, in Vilhena/RO, following an experimental design based on the continuity equation, with defined transverse and longitudinal sections. Flow velocity was determined by tracking the displacement of a float between the designated sections, with data corrected using coefficients adjusted to the riverbed characteristics. The results indicated that, although less precise than more advanced techniques, the float method provided reliable streamflow estimates, yielding a calculated value of 2.95 m³/s. The primary limitation of this method lies in external factors such as riverbed irregularities and variations in float shape, which may affect measurement accuracy. Nevertheless, the method proves to be a viable approach for streamflow measurement in small to medium-sized rivers, enabling frequent and cost-effective hydrological monitoring.
