Diccionario de términos médicos de uso común en la medicina veterinaria
Authors: Quezada Tristán Teódulo , García Sánchez Verónica Gabriela
Published: December 2024

Durante 28 años, el doctor Quezada Tristán, del Centro de Ciencias Agropecuarias de la UAA, realizó la recopilación de múltiples términos médicos clasificados por aparato y sistema del cuerpo, los cuales deben ser considerados durante la realización de un examen clínico. Así, en sus propias palabras, su intención es: “dejar un documento que permita profesionalizar a los médicos veterinarios y les permita dar una mayor imagen de la aplicación de la medicina veterinaria”.

La recopilación de términos médicos para la creación de esta obra es de sumo valor, además de su apoyo y desempeño constante como académico, investigador y colega de los médicos veterinarios que hoy tienen entre sus manos una herramienta para describir las patologías que observamos, palpamos, auscultamos, percutimos y comprobamos con los estudios complementarios.

Esta obra da la oportunidad de hablar un mismo lenguaje para describir con seguridad los signos clínicos que este diccionario aborda en sus capítulos, pues cuenta con su etimología y aspectos de actualidad al incluir la oncología, comportamiento, genética y oftalmología. Éstas son áreas de consulta diaria en las diferentes clínicas, hospitales y explotaciones; lugares donde se hace buena clínica veterinaria.

El diccionario de términos médicos veterinarios que aquí se presenta está diseñado con el objetivo de brindarles a los colegas de esta rama de la medicina, profesionales de la salud, estudiantes y personas en general, la información necesaria acerca de los términos médicos veterinarios para describir los signos que se pueden encontrar durante la aplicación de un examen clínico a los pacientes. Además, este diccionario será de mucha utilidad para apoyar en materias propias de los planes de estudios de las escuelas y facultades en Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia, desde propedéuticas hasta curriculares.

Su contenido se centra en las palabras que describen signos, síntomas y síndromes, siendo la raíz de éstas el fundamento para crear un término médico que ayuda a describir la enfermedad que padece el paciente. Los términos se encuentran en orden alfabético, con su raíz etimológica y su descripción.

Los términos recopilados en este diccionario son de gran interés y utilidad para cada área de la medicina veterinaria y fueron organizados según el aparato y sistema de los seres vivos: sistema tegumentario, aparato digestivo, aparato respiratorio, aparato circulatorio, sistema linfático, aparato reproductor, sistema urinario, aparato locomotor, sistema nervioso, y oftalmología.

Este diccionario se dividió, entonces, en apartados de fácil acceso que favorecen la realización de un valioso expediente clínico para todas las especies de animales, con la mayor cantidad de información actualizada en áreas como la oncología, oftalmología, genética e inmunología, que no se aplicaba anteriormente y que hoy sirve para dar un diagnóstico más certero a los pacientes.

Authors: Petryk Mykhaylo , Mykhalyk Dmytro , Chyz Vitalii , Kovbashyn Vasil , Balaban Stepan , Vasyliv Mykola
Published: December 2024

The paper presents formulations and mathematically justified solutions of nonlinear and linearized models of the «filtration-consolidation» type in heterogeneous multicomponent media saturated with nanoporous particle filtrate, described by boundary value problems for systems of integro-differential equations of the second order. Proposed formulations consider equilibrium mechanisms, the system of multi-interface interactions, and a two-level transport system micro- and nanopores of particles and interparticle space. The direct and conjugate problems of parametric identification has been defined, the solutions were substantiated and obtained, and analytical expressions of the gradients of functionals were obtained to restore the studied identification parameters.
Development of slip line of plasticity localization in construction materials
Authors: Labibov Rasim , Khodanen Tetyana
Published: December 2024

Uniaxial dynamic problem for a rod made with a material with yielding peak is formulated. The model used for formulating the problem takes into account an experimental observation that during the process of yielding a slow wave exists which divides a specimen into domains of elastic and plastic behavior. Process of yielding is described assuming the yielding peak and softening behavior is connected to the process of dislocation release. Discrepancies created during this process in the form of Lüders strips are described as shear lines between structural layers (e.g. ferrite-pearlite boundary, interatomic lattice) under an applied loading in a state of plastic yielding.
Endurvinnsla og endurnýting í íslenskum uppskafningum frá miðöldum og á árnýöld
Authors: Lorenz Tom
Published: December 2024

Á Íslandi á miðöldum og einnig á árnýöld voru uppskafningar algengt fyrirbæri, en svo nefnast handrit þar sem upphaflegt letur hefur verið fjarlægt, skafið upp, og nýtt letur sett í staðinn. Þetta eru handrit sem höfðu skemmst, verið eyðilögð eða á annan hátt orðið gagnslaus. Í flestum tilfellum var handrit sem talið var ónýtt tekið í sundur svo að hægt væri að búa til nýtt úr efni þess sem annars hefði verið litið á sem rusl eða úrgang. Endurnýting bókfells eða skinns var algeng á Íslandi bæði á miðöldum og síðari öldum en náði þó sögulegu hámarki á öldinni eftir siðbreytingu (siðaskipti) þegar uppskafin skinnhandrit sem áður höfðu geymt latneskar bækur úr kaþólsku voru notuð til að skrifa upp trúarlegt og lagalegt efni enda var það ódýrari og aðgengilegri kostur en pappír. Auk þess eru á Íslandi varðveitt tvö skinnhandrit sem hafa að geyma Jónsbók prentaða á uppskafning úr skinni. Alls staðar annars staðar í Evrópu var algengt að nota uppskafin handrit, bæði á miðöldum og á árnýöld, en prentun á uppskafninga virðist hins vegar vera séríslenskt fyrirbæri. Í öðrum tilfellum fékk ónýtt eða gagnslaust handrit nýtt hlutverk og nýtt samhengi þegar ákveðnum atriðum í upphaflega handritinu var skipt út með nýjum en öðrum haldið. Eftir siðaskiptin á Íslandi urðu kaþólskar messubækur, eins og AM 618 4to, NKS 1931/NKS 340 8vo og AM 90 8vo, að uppskafningum til þess að hægt væri að nýta þær og laga að nýjum sið. Á svipaðan hátt var hægt að nýta handrit skrifuð á íslensku með því að setja nýtt innihald í stað þess gamla (AM 161 4to) eða með því að fjarlægja óæskilega texta eða efnisgreinar (AM 556 a 4to og AM 586 4to). Þar að auki eru dæmi um að uppskafningar hafi verið búnir til í þeim tilgangi að falsa forn skjöl. Þar sem engin íslensk handrit af því tagi frá miðöldum hafa varðveist, verður að gera ráð fyrir að sú tegund af uppskafningum hafi orðið til á árnýöld. Til að lýsa betur mismunandi gerðum af íslenskum uppskafningum legg ég til að hugtakið uppskafningur verði endurskilgreint sem marglaga ritaður gripur sem hefur bæði neðra lag þar sem áður var frumtexti sem annaðhvort hefur verið fjarlægður algjörlega, eða innihald án texta, og efra lag með texta sem síðar var bætt við, eða innihald án texta. Enn fremur legg ég til að hugtakið „varðveittir þættir“ verði notað um þá þætti í upprunalegu handriti sem ekki voru fjarlægðir en viljandi haldið og felldir inn í nýja handritið sem sérstakur hluti af uppskafningum til viðbótar við áðurnefnt neðra og efra lag. Með þessari skilgreiningu legg ég til að greint verði á milli endurvinnslu bókfells og endurnýtingar texta í handriti og þetta tvennt skilgreint sem tvær megingerðir uppskafninga.
„Ráð hef ég kennd í kvæði“: Málsháttakvæði Jóns Bjarnasonar í AM 427 12mo
Authors: Brjánsdóttir Guðrún
Published: December 2024

Þessi grein fjallar um 17. aldar pappírshandritið AM 427 12mo og málsháttakvæði sem í því hafa varðveist. Ferill handritsins er rakinn og því skipt í framleiðslu- og notkunareiningar út frá kenningum Kwakkels með það að markmiði að skoða viðtökur málsháttakvæða og stöðu þeirra í íslensku samfélagi síðari alda. Rýnt er í þýðingu Jóns Bjarnasonar (um 1560–1633) á málsháttakvæðunum Disticha Catonis, sem birtist í handritinu, og hún borin saman við þrjá aðra málsháttaflokka: Hugsvinnsmál, 13. aldar þýðingu á Disticha Catonis, Flokkavísur eða heilræðavísur Jóns Bjarnasonar, sem einnig eru skrifuð upp í AM 427 12mo, og Hávamál. Fjallað er um tengsl handritsins við prentuðu kennslubókina Hólar Cato frá 1620 og nota- gildi málsháttasafna í hand- og prentritum 17. aldar. Þannig er leitast við að veita innsýn í þróun á viðtökum málsháttakvæða í íslensku samfélagi og tengslum þeirra við handritamenningu síðari alda.
Í átt að mannfræði örlaganna: Örlagadýnamík í fornnorrænum bókmenntum eins og hún birtist í Völsunga sögu
Authors: Páez Mario Martín
Published: December 2024

Markmið þessarar greinar er að kanna flóknar og margslungnar tengingar milli örlaga og félagslegs siðferðis í fornnorrænum bókmenntum, með sérstakri áherslu á Völsunga sögu. Færð eru rök fyrir því að örlög séu ekki eingöngu ákvörðuð af máttarvöldum eða yfirnáttúrulegum verum, heldur mótist þau einnig af ástríðum, félagslegum tengslum og samfélagslegri valddreifingu. Í greininni er rannsakað hvernig örlög, græðgi og eiðrof leiða sameiginlega til óhjákvæmilegra og óum- flýjanlegra endaloka. Einnig er skoðað hvernig skyldurækni einstaklinga við fjöl- skylduna felur í sér óumflýjanleg eyðingaröfl eins og örlögin sjálf. Ágirnd sem bæði er tengd örlögum og skyldurækni við fjölskylduna hlýtur sams konar sið- ferðislega refsingu. Hvort tveggja er eyðileggjandi afl sem getur sett sýnilegt mark á einstaklinga og undirstrikað þannig brot þeirra. Með því að víkka út fræðilega umræðu um örlög innan miðaldarannsókna er greininni ætlað að vera framlag til þeirrar umræðu sem nú fer fram um örlög í félagslegri mannfræði og tengdum fræðigreinum.
What No Means

Libraries have benefitted from the extraction of Indigenous Knowledges and cultural materials through which they have sought to complete collections. This has led Indigenous communities to distrust of research and research institutions, recognizing the deep harms and exploitation of these research practices. This article undertakes a case study of the book The Sacred Scrolls of the Southern Ojibway to reveal the ways in which extractive research, publishing, and collections practices are known to Indigenous communities and are refused by them. This discussion pursues the publication and collections history of this book through the framework of refusal, an Indigenous feminist practice that asserts Indigenous Sovereignty and care practices over Knowledge. Refusal should be viewed as a generative space (Tuck and Yang 2014a) and should be taken as an invitation for libraries to question and critically evaluate the very foundational principles of our profession and practices. This article challenges three deeply held library assumptions that are revealed through refusal: (1) that extraction is inevitable, (2) that the library is the only appropriate place to steward materials, and (3) that communities should be invested in the future of the library. The call to reconceptualize extraction through refusal is essential: libraries that do not strive to be reciprocal and transformational in their relationships with Indigenous peoples will only serve as a barrier to Indigenous resurgence. Instead, we must reconceptualize librarianship practices toward a liberatory practice.

Long-term Effects of Wearing Orthokeratology Lenses for More than 5 Years on the Progression of Childhood Myopia
Authors: Lee Chae Eun , Park Hye Sung
Published: December 2024

Purpose: To investigate the long-term effects of wearing orthokeratology (OK) lenses for more than 5 years on the progression of myopia and the elongation of axial length in children.Methods: The study included patients aged 6-12 years with myopia ranging from -0.5 D to -5.0 D and astigmatism of ≤ 2.0 D who had worn lenses for ≥ 5 years. A retrospective analysis was conducted comparing with a control group of similar demographics who wore glasses. Spherical equivalent (SE) changes were compared between 28 subjects (56 eyes) in the OK lens group and 37 subjects (74 eyes) in the control group. Additionally, changes in axial length (AXL), anterior chamber depth, and central corneal thickness were compared between 23 subjects (46 eyes) in the lens group and 24 subjects (48 eyes) in the control group.Results: The annual changes in SE were -0.21 ± 0.18 D/year in the OK lens group and -0.38 ± 0.17 D/year in the control group. The annual changes in AXL were 0.13 ± 0.09 mm/year in the OK lens group and 0.21 ± 0.10 mm/year in the control group, both showing significant differences (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively). Within the lens group, further analysis based on age 11 was conducted. SE changes were -0.23 ± 0.18 D/year in those age < 11 and -0.13 ± 0.18 D/year in those age ≥ 11. AXL changes were 0.15 ± 0.10 mm/year in the younger group and 0.06 ± 0.06 mm/year in the older group with both showing significant differences (p = 0.048, p = 0.012, respectively).Conclusions: The progression of myopia and elongation of AXL were significantly inhibited in the OK lens group compared to the control group. Additionally, younger age within the lens group was associated with greater myopia progression and AXL elongation.
Therapeutic Efficacy of Sulfur Hexafluoride Gas in Bilateral Descemet Membrane Detachment: A Case Report
Authors: Cho Myung Ho , Ban Ji Hoon , Lee Jong Soo
Published: December 2024

Purpose: To report a case of bilateral Descemet membrane detachment (DMD) persisting for over a month following phacoemulcification.Case summary: A 67-year-old female underwent bilateral phacoemulcification at a local clinic, with a 3-day interval between procedures on each eye. On the first postoperative day, both eyes developed DMD accompanied by central corneal edema. After 1 month of conservative treatment with no improvement, the patient was referred to our clinic. Upon presentation, corrected visual acuity was 0.25 in the right eye and 0.2 in the left eye. The right eye was initially treated with a 0.3-mL injection of 10% sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), which did not result in reattachment. However, reattachment was successfully achieved with a subsequent injection of 20% SF6. In the left eye, a 20% SF6 injection into the anterior chamber also achieved reattachment, but partial removal of 10-20% of the gas was necessary to manage elevated intraocular pressure. The procedure was completed without complications. Following treatment, visual acuity improved to 0.8 in the right eye and 1.0 in the left eye.Conclusions: For cases of DMD involving the central cornea or persisting for over 4 weeks without responding to conservative treatment, the injection of 20% SF6 gas into the anterior chamber represents a viable surgical option. Careful management of intraocular pressure is essential to ensure successful outcomes without complications.
Championing Green Marketing: Environmental Responsibility in Sapang Palay's Micro-Food Businesses
Authors: Santos Jason C. , Sibayan Loreta P. , Haber Sarah Jane T.
Published: December 2024

The study titled "Environmental Responsibility in Sapang Palay Market: A Look at Green Marketing in Local Micro-Food Businesses" delves into green practices and business operations. Through a quantitative analysis, the research reveals the utilization of environmentally conscious practices such as the use of energy-saving tools, waste segregation, and engagement in recycling through scrap reselling. Other eco-friendly practices such as the use of paper straws, while observed, turned out to be less prevalent. Notably, water and energy-conserving production practices and sustainable packaging emerged as significant drivers of sales, while effective waste management proves instrumental in fostering environmental growth. Although micro-food businesses demonstrate a notable utilization and integration of green practices, the findings suggest opportunities for improvement such as the prevalent use of plastic products, and Styrofoam which are scientifically proven to be detrimental to the environment as waste. Micro-Food Businesses continue to patronize these packaging options due to cost and profitability considerations. Collectively, the research underscores the critical need for heightened awareness and proactive measures to foster the widespread adoption of sustainable practices, advocating for the reduction of waste, energy conservation, and the use of non-toxic materials to promote a healthier and more environmentally conscious business landscape.
WALI MUJBIR DALAM PERSPEKTIF PEMIKIRAN KH. HUSEIN MUHAMMAD
Authors: Khoiri Miftakhul
Published: December 2024

The Koran's comments regarding marriage are explicit in many verses. There are around 104 verses, including the vocabulary of marriage which is repeated 23 times and the word zauwj which is repeated 80 times. An in-depth review of all the marriage scriptures lays out the five principles of marriage. First, the principle of mawadah wa rahmah. Second, the principle of monogamy. Third, the principle of mu'āsyarah bil-ma'rūf (polite communication). Fourth, the principle of mutual enhancement and protection in interpersonal relationships and sexuality. Fifth, the principle of determining partners for prospective brides and grooms. Society believes that women do not have full rights in matters of marriage, so choosing a partner must be left to their parents. Selection of a partner as one of the principles of marriage often conflicts with the right of ijbar held by the guardian. This ultimately became the focus in Islam, a woman's right to decide on a partner is the sole right of her parents, not the right to decide on a partner. The claim that has developed so far is that mujbir guardians are parents who claim that their children were married off by their parents' choice, or better known as "forced marriage". This paper aims to analyze the use of KH Husein Muhammad's socio-historical approach in the form of the mashlahah concept in Fiqh/Usul Fiqh with the aim of reaching a middle point between the differences.

Improving diagnostics and treatment of moyamoya vasculopathy

Improving the Diagnosis and Treatment of Moyamoya: A Cerebrovascular Disease with Serious Implications

Moyamoya is a rare but severe condition affecting the major arteries in the brain, primarily impacting children and young adults. It leads to an increased risk of transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), strokes, and brain hemorrhages, which can significantly affect daily life, causing paralysis, cognitive issues, and overall a reduced quality of life.

What is Moyamoya?
In moyamoya disease, the internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery gradually narrow or completely occlude. As a compensatory response, fragile, thin blood vessels form around the stenosis or occlusion to maintain blood flow. On an angiography, this network of vessels appears as a "puff of smoke," which is the meaning of the Japanese term "moyamoya." The exact cause remains unknown, though abnormal growth of muscle cells in the blood vessels is thought to play a role. The disease is more common in women and is diagnosed more frequently in Asian countries than in Western regions. Symptoms also differ: Asian patients are more prone to brain hemorrhages, while Western patients more often experience strokes and cognitive problems.

Treatment
Currently, no cure exists to halt or reverse arterial narrowing in moyamoya. Treatment focuses on symptom relief and preventing further brain damage. Blood thinners (e.g., aspirin) and lifestyle advice are often recommended. In many cases, revascularization surgery is needed to restore blood flow to the brain. This is done by an extracranial to intracranial bypass.

Research into Treatment Effects
At UMC Utrecht, we studied the impact of surgery and medication on symptoms and cognitive function. We found that surgery did not improve cognition, but did stabilize the symptoms. Furthermore we discovered that a unilateral operation can benefit both sides, so it is not always necessary to treat both hemispheres.

Advances in Imaging
Accurately mapping of cerebral blood flow and reactivity is essential for diagnosis and treatment. While PET scans were traditionally used, a new MRI-based technique has been developed, avoiding radioactive substances and reducing the need for additional tests. This method is now the standard at UMC Utrecht for evaluating moyamoya patients. Furthermore we found that inhalation of CO2-enriched air reduced the CMRO2, which is important to take into account when using BOLD-imaging. When scanning patients under anesthesia, this greatly impacts their cerebrovascular reactivity, so caution is warranted with the interpretation of patients scanned under anesthesia.

Conclusion
Moyamoya remains a complex disease with many unanswered questions, particularly regarding optimal surgical timing and patient selection. Improved imaging is the first step in enhancing treatment. Future research aims to develop better therapies and refine patient selection for surgery to maximize benefits and reduce complications.

Authors: Granados-Flores Ruben , Miranda-Rosales Verónica , Pérez-Ramírez Carlos A.
Published: December 2024

Los huertos familiares (HF) constituyen agroecosistemas tradicionales ubicados cerca de las viviendas rurales, que aportan diversos beneficios a las familias campesinas, aunque su conformación varía según las formas de vida y necesidades de cada familia. La investigación tuvo como objetivo, analizar los componentes e interacciones que caracterizan los HF de la localidad de Angangueo, ubicado en el Estado de Michoacán, México. Como metodología se determinaron las categorías de análisis organización y distribución, trabajo familiar, prácticas tradicionales de manejo, aprovechamiento, beneficios obtenidos e interacciones socio ecológicas, mediante la aplicación de cédulas de observación y entrevistas con dueños de HF. Los resultados indican que los HF carecen de una estructura definida, pero comparten características generales. Se ubican en la parte trasera de los terrenos y viviendas, con presencia de plantas ornamentales, frutales y medicinales, así como animales de traspatio. Para la conservación de los HF, ha sido fundamental la participación del núcleo familiar, en especial de las mujeres, mediante la cosecha, siembra, intercambio y transformación de los productos. Así mismo el manejo de los HF, está soportado en prácticas tradicionales, conocimientos heredados y la experiencia propia. Se aprovechan diversas especies vegetales, arbustivas, animales y sus derivados, destinados esencialmente al auto consumo, pero también para intercambio o comercialización local. Se concluye que a pesar de los beneficios económicos, socioculturales y ambientales que aportan los HF, enfrentan diversas problemáticas ambientales que ponen en riesgo su continuidad.
How Sticky is the Per Capita Income?
Authors: Csizmadia Adrián , Bareith Tibor
Published: December 2024

In our settlement-level study using the Markov chain method and dynamic regression panel models, we found that in the period 2011-2021, income in the previous year strongly affects income status, i.e., income shows high persistence. Despite the steady increase in per capita income over the period under study, the spatial structure of the income distribution shows a fixed state, with a high degree of stability: poor municipalities remain poor, while rich municipalities remain rich. Only in the Central and Western Transdanubian regions is there a greater chance of a municipality's population moving into a higher income category. The results of the regression models show that, in addition to the income level of previous years, the higher number of self-employed, the greater distance of settlements from cities and Budapest, the employment structure and the higher share of job seekers have a significant impact on the income of the population.
Occupational Therapy Interventions and Their Impact on Work Performance and Activities of Daily Living in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis
Authors: Arsovski Denis
Published: December 2024

Background. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease that affects the central nervous system, leading to various physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges that significantly impact daily activities and work performance. Occupational therapy (OT) plays an important role in managing MS by providing interventions designed to improve functional performance, promote independence, and enhance overall well-being.
Aim. To evaluate the impact of OT interventions on work performance and activities of daily living in individuals with MS.
Methods. A total of 776 participants diagnosed with MS were included in this study. Data were collected through structured questions extracted from the MS Quality of Life-54 questionnaire. The study assessed the relationships between the type of MS, work performance, daily activities, and the effectiveness of OT interventions. Statistical analyses included Chi-Square tests, correlation analysis, calculations of standard deviation and variance, Box Plots, and ANOVA tests.
Results. The study found that 65% of participants reported reduced working hours, 78% performed fewer activities than desired, and 66% experienced limitations in work tasks or daily activities due to MS. Emotional problems also impacted work performance and daily activities. The ANOVA test revealed significant differences in reduced working hours, fewer activities, and the impact of emotional problems among different types of MS. Specifically, the relapsing-remitting type of MS showed the highest impact on work performance and daily activities.
Conclusions. OT plays a crucial role in addressing the functional and emotional challenges associated with MS. The interventions are particularly beneficial in improving work performance and daily activities, especially for individuals with the relapsing-remitting type of MS. Individualized OT strategies should be tailored to address the specific needs of individuals with different types of MS.
Keywords: occupational therapy; multiple sclerosis; daily activities; work performance.
The 1940 monograph that has preserved natural history records of the lost raised bog of Šepeta, Lithuania

Published: December 2024

During the last century, Lithuania lost about eighty percent of its wetlands. Before the Second World War, Šepeta bog was one of the largest raised bogs in Lithuania (1398.9 ha) and part of the wider European wetland system. In 1940, a complex study on the vegetation and peat resources of the bog was conducted and, based on the findings obtained, the monograph ‘Šepeta. Aukštapelkio monografija [A monograph on the Šepeta raised bog]’ was published at the end of the year. Peat exploitation in the Šepeta raised bog was started for economic reasons in 1939. At present, nearly all the territory of the above-mentioned mire with former typical habitats and populations of rare plant and bird species is completely destroyed and converted into a peat extraction area. The monograph on Šepeta bog is the only extant comprehensive source of information on the natural history of this bog. However, the publication is very rare. Our study was undertaken with a view to collect all the surviving material on the natural history of the Šepeta raised bog. This paper presents the history and fate of the monograph, a summary of the extant historical material on the vegetation of Šepeta bog, and a historical list of plant species.
Jacob Theodor Klein's ‘De piscium auditu’ (1740): an early treatise on hearing in fishes, with a description of the form, function and utility of fish otoliths
Authors: Pietsch Theodore W. , Aili Hans
Published: December 2024

In ‘De piscium auditu [On the sense of hearing in fishes]’, the first part of Jacob Theodor Klein's Historiae piscium naturalis (1740–1749), Klein provided the earliest specialized treatise on the sense of hearing in fishes. In contrast to many authorities past and present, Klein hypothesized that fishes do indeed hear and that they not only have organs of hearing but also external auditory passages by means of which water-borne sounds are communicated to these organs. His work is reviewed and analyzed, with emphasis on his detailed experimental search for structures comparable to the outer and middle ear of mammals, and his prophetic suggestions regarding the structure, function, and practical utility of the ‘pebbles’ found in the crania of fishes, now known as otoliths.
One book, three Fellows of the Royal Society: biography of a copy of James Croll’s Climate and time in their geological relations (1875)
Authors: Edwards Kevin J.
Published: December 2024

In 1875, the climate change pioneer and autodidact, James Croll (1821–1890), saw the publication of his monumental volume Climate and time in their geological relations. The following year, a presentation copy of the book was received by Charles Wyville Thomson (1830–1882), then chief scientist on the Challenger expedition (1872–1876), by the time of his arrival in Ascension Island. Following Wyville Thomson’s death, the book became part of the library of John Murray (1841–1914), his successor as Director of the Challenger offices in Edinburgh. At some stage the book was obtained by an Amsterdam bookseller before it eventually made a return to the UK in 2003. This paper follows the biography of a documented copy of this influential book as it passed through the hands of three notable Fellows of the Royal Society of London. Embedded within the narrative is discussion of book giving and the connecting thread between Croll, ocean science and the scientists associated with the Challenger expedition.
Ageing as Fading and the Importance of Monument-Making in William Blake’s The Book of Thel
Authors: Schouten de Jel Joshua
Published: December 2024

As an apprentice engraver, William Blake wrote his gothic poem ‘Fair Elenor’ ( Poetical Sketches, 1783) whilst drawing the tombs and monuments of Westminster Abbey for Sepulchral Monuments in Great Britain (1786) and Vetusta Monumenta (1789). A few years later, he would write The Book of Thel (1789) in which he continued to explore his own anxieties about his artistic legacy through the existential crises – centred on the process of ageing – of his female protagonists. Resembling the tombs he drew as an apprentice, Blake creates a funereal monument for Thel. However, through Thel’s reflections on the transience of corporeal existence, Blake reveals his own concerns about his corpus. Thel asks, ‘who shall find my place[?]’ (E4, 2.12). Though Blake himself would be buried in an unmarked grave, his memento mori provides a lasting monument for her ‘grave plot’ (E6, 6.9) and his own creative process. As such, though the physical body ages and fades, the Blakean body of the Imagination endures.
Austral Ancestors in Ernest Favenc’s Frontier Gothic
Authors: Lauren Murray Hannah
Published: December 2024

This article argues that ageing and ancestry is integral to Ernest Favenc’s late-colonial frontier Gothic writing. Through his repeated attention to scenes of settler death, and his creation of ghostly seventeenth-century and nineteenth-century explorers, Favenc makes the desert a graveyard and generates sets of settler ancestors, who stake a claim on the land for Euro-Australians. Written in a context of ‘doomed race theory’, which recognised Indigenous generational presence yet foreclosed their futures, white Australians in Favenc’s work become a younger ‘first’ peoples with their own history of dying on the land, just as older Aboriginal Australians en masse are written as going extinct. Whereas ageist rhetoric in the late colonial period indexes Aboriginal Australians as decrepit and weak, white remains and ghosts in Favenc’s works articulate age as a positive, as settlers dying on the land become ancestors. Favenc’s Austral ancestors enact a replacement narrative, writing over Indigenous peoples and further legitimising settlement. Reading ageing and ancestry in Favenc’s frontier Gothic therefore augments understanding the colonial Australian Gothic as imbricated in the settler-colonial project rather than unsettling it.

Toxoplasmosis, an important zoonotic parasitic disease-causing infection in humans and contaminating the environment. Cats are the sole source of spreading infection. Current study was designed to serodiagnoses in the flooded area, Jhang, Pakistan. Using rapid identification pen side strip test 316 pet cats were examined at CVAS, Jhang and other private clinics in that area. Rapid ID Chromatographic immune assay was performed to detect the antibodies for Feline toxoplasma IgM and IgG in serum. Related associated risk factors like breed, sex, contact with other livestock animals, deworming, location type (urban or rural area), diet (nature of food either cooked or uncooked meat), and outdoor access for wandering were also interviewed by owner. Total seroprevalence of cats was 10.4% (33/316). IgG antibodies were found 9.09 (29/316) while IgM antibodies were 2.21% (7/316) in cats. Seroprevalence was significantly high in cats older than one year. No significant difference was recorded between males and females. Cats from peri urban areas showed higher prevalence. Cats having access to outside, contact with other animals and eating uncooked food showed high seroprevalence. The current study confirms that Toxoplasma gondii is widespread in pet animals in district Jhang, Pakistan. This study urges pets lower to be aware about the Toxoplasmosis diseases. Whereas, the livestock extension sector should disseminate the precautionary awareness among the public
Environmental effects due to transformation of cropland into industrial uses: the farmers’ perception of an industry-dominated area in Bangladesh

Published: December 2024

In recent years, the issue of environmental pollution in the industry sector has been a prime concern. The industrial sector contributes significantly to the economy but also incurs significant environmental costs due to environmental pollution, a reduction of cultivable land and land fertility, etc. Connecting to these concerns, the study aimed to determine farmers’ perception of environmental effects due to the transformation of cropland into industrial uses and to explore the influences of some selected characteristics of farmers upon the perception of environmental effects. Besides, attempts were made to explore the extent and reasons behind the transformation. A total of 113 farmers from 565 farmers of three villages of Kaliakair upazila under Gazipur district in Bangladesh were selected using a simple random sampling method. Data were collected using an interview schedule through personal interviews during July, 2021. Five-point Likert scale was employed to measure farmers’ perception of the issues investigated. Most of the respondents (79.6%) had a highly favorable perception of environmental effects compared to only 6.2% having a moderately unfavorable perception. Regression analysis revealed that three variables, namely ‘extended media contact,’ ‘years of schooling,’ and ‘organizational participation,’ explained 64.5% of the variation in farmers’ perception levels. Almost all the farmers (96.5%) claimed that their land had been transformed at 0.63% annually over the last 15 years. The main reasons for transformation were the lower price of agricultural products, the selling of land due to high prices of the land, and the low productivity of cropland. Therefore, these aspects may be considered when developing policy directives that support both sustainable environmental development and agricultural growth.

Published: December 2024

Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, son yıllarda uluslararası literatürde sıklıkla karşılaştığımız "sessiz istifa" kavramını spor organizasyonları kapsamında inceleyerek, Türkçe bir ölçme aracı olarak literatüre kazandırılmasıdır. Araştırma kurumsal ortamlarda henüz etkili bir şekilde ele alınmayan sessiz istifanın anlaşılmasını, kavramsallaştırılmasını ve etkin bir şekilde ölçülmesini amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın evrenini Türkiye’de farklı spor örgütlerinde görev yapan veya yapmış olan çalışanlar oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmaya dahil edilecek olan örneklem sayısı G*Power analizi ile belirlenmiştir. Çalışmaya toplam 215 katılımcı dâhil edilmiştir. Çalışmanın temelini oluşturan “Quiet Quitting Scale” ölçeği tek alt boyut ve 10 maddeden oluşmaktadır. Karranive ark. (2024) tarafından geliştirilen ölçek çalışanların sessizce işten ayrılma davranışlarının anlamaya yönelik olarak geliştirilen bir ölçektir. Ölçek Türkçe’ye uyarlanırken sistematik olarak bazı belli başlı bazı aşamalar izlenmiştir. Dilsel eşdeğerlik çalışmasının ardından sırasıyla içerik, yapı ve yakınsak geçerlik analizlerine tabi tutulmuştur. Yapılan analizler ile geçerlik ve güvenirlik testleri sonucunda elde edilen puanlar Sessiz İstifa Ölçeğinin 10 maddeli ve tek alt boyutlu yapısını desteklemektedir. Spor örgütleri içerisinde yer alan çalışanların sessiz istifa davranışlarının ortaya konulması ve hangi değişkenlerden etkilendiğinin açıklanması spor örgütlerinin gelişimlerine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Özellikle spor örgütü çalışanlarının motivasyonları, iş performansı ve tatmini, bağlılık düzeyleri ve iş ve yaşam doyumları gibi farklı parametrelerle sessiz istifa düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiler araştırılabilir.
GÊNIO E CRIAÇÃO ARTÍSTICA DE SI EM NIETZSCHE
Authors: Costa de Lima David Rogério
Published: December 2024

No presente artigo, procuraremos demonstrar como a dimensão estética aparece no pensamento maduro de Nietzsche, não mais no âmbito da obra de arte, mas da arte de criar a si mesmo. Analisaremos o problema da criação de si como obra de arte contemplando o cultivo de si, a autodisciplina em face aos impulsos, a dietética e o dar estilo ao caráter como a arte de tornar-se o que é. Em seguida, discutiremos como esse processo reabilita no pensamento de nosso filósofo a figura do gênio, que reaparece de maneira ampliada, tomando para si as características do criador e do pensador-legislador, e, nesse sentindo estabeleceremos a relação entre as figuras do gênio e do super-homem.
A EXPERIÊNCIA PURA EM NISHIDA COMO CONHECIMENTO IMEDIATO DA REALIDADE
Authors: Emanuel Salvino Murata Lucas
Published: December 2024

Este artigo tem como finalidade analisar o conceito de experiência pura desenvolvido por Nishida Kitaro, que marca o início da filosofia moderna no Japão e fundamenta a Escola de Kyoto. O conceito, apresentado no Ensaio sobre o bem (1911), propõe uma abordagem ontológica baseada na experiência direta, anterior à divisão entre sujeito e objeto. Nishida rejeita o dualismo tradicional da filosofia ocidental, bem como as visões fisicalistas e idealistas, propondo uma realidade unificada. O artigo também discute as influências de William James, que compartilha a perspectiva de uma filosofia centrada na experiência imediata, e explora as implicações do não-dualismo para a compreensão da realidade. Assim, Nishida oferece uma alternativa ao pensamento metafísico ocidental.
The influence of fetal sex on antenatal maternal glucose and insulin dynamics
Authors: Mullins Thomas P. , Gallo Linda A. , McIntyre H. David , Barrett Helen L.
Published: December 2024

The ‘Developmental Origins of Health and Disease’ (DOHaD) hypothesis postulates that exposures during critical periods of development and growth, including maternal hyperglycemia, can have significant consequences for short- and long-term health in offspring. The influence of fetal status on maternal (patho)physiology is less well understood but gaining attention. Fetal sex specifically may be an independent risk factor for a range of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including increased gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) frequency with male fetuses in multi-ethnic populations. Fetal sex has been thought to modulate maternal glucose metabolism, including insulin dynamics, through complex genetic and hormonal interactions. Mechanisms have not been fully elucidated, however, but may relate to sexual dimorphism in maternal-fetal-placental interactions. We review current evidence on the potential influence of fetal sex on maternal glucose and insulin dynamics, and fetal outcomes.
