In recent years, chronic liver diseases have become a significant cause of death and disability [2], there is a trend towards an increase in the number of patients with chronic liver disease. It is widespread mainly among people of working age [3], which is explained by the living conditions of modern humans and the presence of a large number of chemical compounds in the environment. This leads to changes in metabolic processes in the liver and its toxic damage.

According to WHO data, over the past 20 years, there has been a trend towards an increase in the number of liver diseases leading to high mortality worldwide. Today, the number of patients with various hepatobiliary pathologies in the world exceeds 2 billion people. In the CIS countries alone, between 500,000 and 1 million people with various liver diseases are registered annually [4].

A sharp increase in the number of patients with chronic liver diseases was facilitated by an increase in the incidence of viral and toxic (alcoholic and drug) hepatitis, as well as a significant increase in the number of patients with obesity and diabetes mellitus.

The hepatoprotective properties of drugs improve metabolism, inhibit peroxidation, activate lipid metabolism, and protect mitochondrial and microsomal enzymes from damage to varying degrees [1].

Authors: Christensen Charlotte Skjold Qvist , Hansen Nicholas , Motadayen Mahboubeh , Lock Nina , Henriksen Martin Lahn , Quinson Jonathan
Published: February 2025

Polymeric membranes offer an appealing solution for sustainable CO2 capture, with potential for large-scale deployment. However, balancing high permeability and selectivity is an inherent challenge for pristine membranes. To address this challenge, the development of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) is a promising strategy. MMMs are obtained by carefully integrating porous nano-fillers into polymeric matrices, enabling the simultaneous enhancement of selectivity and permeability. In particular, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained recognition as MMM fillers for CO2 capture. Here, a review of the current state, recent advancements, and challenges in the fabrication and engineering of MMMs with MOFs for selective CO2 capture is proposed. Key considerations and promising research directions to fully exploit the gas separation potential of MOF-based MMMs in CO2 capture applications are highlighted.

Published: February 2025

The advent of antibiotic resistance in microorganisms requires the discovery and synthesis of novel antibiotics. At the same time, human pathogens are contributing to chronic and persistent inflammation. Motivated by these two concerning issues, new antibiotic drug candidates are synthesized by incorporation of benzothiazine, pyrazole, and amide moieties in a new scaffold to create multifunctional derivatives of pyrazolo-1,2-benzothiazine. The presented compounds have been synthesized and analyzed using spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques including FTIR, HRMS, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. All compounds were tested against five human microbial strains including three different strains of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923, ATCC BAA-41, and ATCC BAA-44), Escherichia coli (ATCC 8739), and Candida albicans (ATCC 90027) to evaluate their antibiotic potential. The results showed that out of fourteen synthesized compounds, 7b (MIC90 = 16 μg/mL) and 7h (MIC90 = 8.0 μg/mL) exhibited potent antibiotic activity against different strains of S. aureus (susceptible, methicillin-resistant, and multidrug-resistant). Cytotoxic studies against the human colon cancer mammalian cell line HCT-116 (ATCC CCL-247) revealed that only compound 7l inhibited cell viability, while the rest of the compounds including 7b and 7h showed no significant decrease in mammalian cell viability. Results of human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) inhibition assays discovered that monoalkylated derivatives have low to negligible inhibition potential but dialkylated ones have no inhibition potential at all for directed CAs (I, II, IX, and XII). From the low inhibiting compounds, 7b showed the highest inhibition potential with a minimum Ki value of 72.9 μM. In light of the above findings, these newly prepared scaffolds are valuable additions to the class of pyrazolo-1,2-benzothiazine antibiotics with selective antistaphylococcal activity.
Comparative Perspectives of Health, Income, and Well-Being: The Case of Emerging Market Economies
Authors: Kasturi Prahlad , Toh Kiertisak
Published: February 2025

There has been increasing interest in the direct measurement of the state of global well-being and cross-country comparison of well-being or happiness. Analyses of national well-being conventionally have focused on per capita income. Income and its growth are certainly an essential indicator of standard of living; but it is not the only thing that matters. There are noneconomic factors that contribute to well-being. Income may not be worth as much if one does not have the health and other capabilities to enjoy it. Satisfactory health together with other capabilities – freedom, the absence of conflicts, war, violence, and adequate social capital – can contribute to people’s subjective well-being or happiness. In this paper, we use the analytical framework of the economics of happiness to explore the relationship between happiness or subjective well-being and good health taking into consideration the role of social capital – trust and good governance.

clínica para a adoção
Authors: Bambini Vasconcellos Maria Luiza
Published: February 2025

Este texto busca evidenciar como a adoção, em seus caminhos e especificidades, pode se beneficiar peculiarmente da Terapia Familiar; no entanto, pode ser visto como um ensaio, devido ao seu caráter de registro de uma clínica em construção, seja pelo recente tempo histórico em que opera nesse campo em nosso país, de forma a ser oficialmente demandada enquanto tal, seja por chamar para si um universo teórico já existente, ao mesmo tempo em que inaugura novos olhares e conceitos para ser reconhecida em sua legitimidade e competência. Nessa condição, foram eleitos alguns aspectos, entre os inúmeros que transitam na vida de adotados e adotantes – tantos quantos poderiam estar presentes na subjetividade de cada sujeito que experimenta essa vivência – apenas por iluminarem as reflexões aqui apresentadas, embora não tenham a pretensão de contemplar a complexidade dessas experiências, nem de as representar como padrão. Trata-se, portanto, de delinear um campo, no qual o trabalho terapêutico funciona de modo inclusivo, apoiado no diálogo, no reconhecimento da relevância de todos os envolvidos e na aposta da potência do desejo, na viabilização e na criação conjunta de novas configurações familiares.

Published: February 2025

O cuidado em saúde mental costuma ser um desafio para as famílias que possuem um de seus integrantes com transtorno mental, especialmente para aquelas que, porventura, necessitem de auxílio, principalmente no que diz respeito à hospitalização compulsória. A partir dessa problemática, faz-se necessário compreender as circunstâncias que estão presentes em famílias com tal adversidade. O presente artigo objetiva revisar sistematicamente estudos que analisaram e aprofundaram a temática de famílias e sua relação com a hospitalização compulsória. Para isso, foram utilizadas as bases de dados LILACS, PUBMED e SciELO e, ao final, foram selecionados 14 artigos. Na análise, pode-se observar que a família possui papel fundamental na terapêutica, mesmo que o pensamento dos familiares paire entre alívio e culpa. Constatou-se, além disso, a escassez de literatura envolvendo o tema, assim como a perceptível importância feminina no tratamento, visto que a maioria das mães se tornam responsáveis pelo familiar adoecido.
Aconselhamento de carreira numa perspectiva construcionista
Authors: Ribeiro Marcelo Afonso , Knabem Andréa , Beliomini Luciana Aparecida , Couceiro Gama de Almeida Maria Celeste
Published: February 2025

A Orientação Profissional e de Carreira (OPC) tem como desafios contemporâneos: enfrentar a flexibilização do trabalho, contextualizar teorias/práticas, incorporar novas epistemes, diversificar o público atendido e incluir a transformação social nas práticas, sendo os construcionismos uma possibilidade teórico/prática. Apesar desta potencialidade, a perspectiva construcionista em OPC é um projeto emergente ainda teórico e com poucas implicações práticas. Assim, buscando contribuir para a construção de uma perspectiva construcionista em OPC no Brasil, o artigo visou identificar e sintetizar as principais proposições práticas construcionistas da OPC já publicadas através de revisão integrativa de literatura e buscou elaborar uma proposta de diretrizes para uma prática construcionista em OPC baseada na síntese realizada. Apesar da carência de estudos, foi possível propor diretrizes para uma prática construcionista em OPC, exemplificando com recursos potenciais, em termos dos fundamentos teóricos, características do processo de intervenção e características da relação orientador/a-orientanda/o, contrastando com o existente na OPC.

Published: February 2025

Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa com quatro famílias que vivenciaram abuso sexual e maus-tratos, atendidas on-line devido à crise sanitária global da covid-19. O programa Cuidado Vigilante (CV), possibilitou uma pesquisa-intervenção baseada em registros de atendimento em uma instituição pública de saúde com o objetivo de adentrar no campo das narrativas das famílias em situação de abuso e maus-tratos. A abordagem utilizada foi o sociodrama dialógico, na qual participantes do grupo falam sobre suas realidades e sofrimentos. Os resultados revelados pela Análise Temática Reflexiva (ATR) refletem a importância do processo de diálogo entre os pais, a reflexão de significados antes não percebidos. A intervenção cumpriu seu papel ao revelar às famílias o potencial que elas têm de transformação, fortalecimento e autonomia em seus projetos futuros, como ser comprometidas, demonstrar afeto, ter mais diálogo, ser mais amigas, observar os riscos e ser protetora.

Infusing Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKSs)in Technology Education: A Case of Food Processing and Preservation in a Rural Agricultural-based Economy
Authors: Timire Joel , Dube Bekithemba
Published: February 2025

This empirical paper discussed the lack of indigenous knowledge systems in the senior phase Technology education syllabus with reference to food processing and preservation for a sustainable rural agricultural-based economy. This omission robs learners of their heritage and history as they may not be able to apply generational knowledge to perpetuate food security in a rural agricultural-based economy. The paper was grounded in critical emancipatory theory, which argued for the inclusivity of all forms of knowledge based on the history and aspirations of a people. In this qualitative paper, structured interviews were administered to 4 Technology education lecturers from 4 Universities of Technology (UoTs) in South Africa. Participants were purposively selected and responded to 2 questions. Thematic analysis was used to analyse and present the data. The study found that IKS broadens learners’ educational experiences from which the development of appropriate technologies could emerge. IKS could be infused into the curriculum through the involvement of knowledgeable community resource persons. The study recommended the inclusion of indigenous knowledge systems in the Technology education syllabus to empower learners from rural agricultural-based economies. The study provides insights into the nature of knowledge and skills relevant in dynamic and evolving economies for curriculum planners and research scholars.

Equatorial Enhancement in the Dustiest OH/IR Stars in the Galactic Bulge
Authors: Goldman Steven R. , van Loon Jacco Th. , Jones Olivia C. , Blommaert Joris A. D. L. , Groenewegen Martin A. T.
Published: February 2025

We have detected the 10 μm silicate feature and the 11.3 μm crystalline forsterite feature in absorption in 21 oxygen-rich asymptotic giant branch stars in the Galactic bulge. The depths of the 10 μm feature indicate highly obscured circumstellar environments. The additional crystalline features may suggest either an extended envelope or dust formation in a high-density environment. We have also modeled the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the sample using radiative transfer models, and compared the results to wind speeds measured using 1612 MHz circumstellar OH masers, as well as previous estimates of circumstellar properties. The 16 sources with measured pulsation periods appear on sequence D of the mid-IR period–luminosity relation, associated with the long secondary period. We suspect that all of these sources are in fact fundamental-mode pulsators. At least two sources appear on the fundamental-mode sequence when accounting for the dust content. For the remainder, these sources are also likely fundamental-mode pulsators with extended envelopes. Taken as a whole, the high optical depths, crystalline features, discrepancies between observed and modeled wind speeds, pulsation periods longer than other fundamental-mode pulsators, and SED and pulsation properties similar to those with known equatorially enhanced circumstellar envelopes (e.g., OH 26.5+0.6 and OH 30.1–0.7) lead us to believe that these sources are likely to be equatorially enhanced.
Magnetized Protoplanetary Disks around Young Stars in the Presence of Realistic Cooling

Published: February 2025

In this paper, we study the effects of magnetic fields and ohmic resistivity on the structure of protoplanetary disks (PPDs) in the presence of realistic radiative cooling. We use the self-similar method to solve the magnetohydrodynamic equations in spherical coordinates (r, θ, ϕ). Our solutions indicate that a strong magnetic field reduces the outflow region while increasing the mass accretion rate, which in turn leads to a thicker disk. Our model applied to the FU Orionis PPD indicates that in the inner regions of the disk (r = 10 au),

Additionally, we calculated the cooling timescale in our model to assess one possible fragmentation condition necessary for planet formation. Our results indicate that, although the gravitational instability condition exists in the midplane of the disk, the cooling timescale is not short enough (τ

Published: February 2025

De nos jours, le numérique est présent dans de nombreuses pratiques sociales, dont les champs de l’enseignement de l’Éducation Physique et Sportive et de l’entraînement sportif. Cependant, si peu de résultats probants se dégagent relativement aux effets des usages du numérique dans le champ des pratiques sportives, il semble de plus en plus utilisé dans le champ des activités physiques. Il est donc important de clarifier ce à quoi correspond le numérique, à quelles pratiques. Ainsi, l’objectif de ce numéro est double : 1) définir plus clairement ce que recouvre le numérique dans le champ des activités physiques et sportives et en particulier de l’EPS et 2) rendre compte au moyen d’études empiriques des effets relatifs aux usages du numérique par des élèves, enseignants, formateurs, entraîneurs ou encore athlètes et in fine quels apprentissages sont rendus possibles.
Effect of Asymmetric Corneal Curvature on Optical Zone Decentration and Refractive Outcomes in SMILE for Myopic Astigmatism
Authors: Fu Xinyi , Zhao Xiaoyan , Gao Guohong , Yu Zhilong , Wang Feng , Li Shuxin
Published: February 2025

Purpose

To investigate the effect of asymmetric corneal curvature on refractive outcomes and optical zone decentration at a 2-year follow-up after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for myopic astigmatism.

Methods

In this prospective study, 96 patients (169 eyes) with myopia and astigmatism (low astigmatism group [cylinder < −2.00 diopters (D)], 91 eyes; high astigmatism group [cylinder ⩾ −2.00 D], 78 eyes) were treated using SMILE. Two-year postoperative refractive outcomes and optical zone decentration were analyzed and compared between the groups.

Results

Both groups achieved good visual and refractive outcomes. The mean postoperative cylinder in the low astigmatism group was significantly lower than that in the high astigmatism group (
P
< .05). The mean decentration in the low astigmatism group was lower than that in the high astigmatism group (
P
< .05). In the low astigmatism group, a weak positive correlation was observed between target induced astigmatism (TIA) and the arithmetic mean of angle of error (|AE|), difference vector (DV), and the arithmetic mean of magnitude of error (|ME|). Additionally, a weak positive correlation was observed between decentration and both the arithmetic mean of corneal front surface curvature asymmetry indices (|Sif|) and TIA. Within the high astigmatism group, TIA exhibited a weak positive correlation with |AE|, DV, and |ME|. Similarly, decentration demonstrated a weak positive correlation with |Sif|, TIA, DV, and |ME| (all
P
< .05).

Conclusions

SMILE surgery achieves good long-term refractive outcomes for correcting myopic astigmatism. However, there are still limitations to the accuracy of high astigmatism correction. Asymmetric corneal surface curvature may affect the astigmatism correction and optical zone decentration.

Knowledge Graph-Based Recommender Systems to Mitigate Data Sparsity: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Boualaoui Bouchra , Zellou Ahmed , Berquedich Mouna
Published: February 2025

Recommender systems (RSs) have become important tools in the modern lifestyle; they have been integrated into all domains, spanning from entertainment (music, films, etc.) to more sensitive fields such as security and health care. Their success does not mean that they are ideal or flawless; quite the opposite, RSs suffer from plenty of drawbacks and challenges that need to be resolved. Data sparsity is a common problem in recommender systems; it has been of top interest among researchers. Numerous approaches from different perspectives have been proposed to mitigate it, including knowledge graphs (KGs), which quickly gained popularity due to the rich semantics residing in their components. In this paper, we will conduct a systematic literature review to explore and analyze in depth the existing contributions. Our work focuses on investigating the effectiveness of KGs to mitigate the data sparsity in RSs by discovering the techniques used, understanding how KGs are exploited, and what type of knowledge is extracted from them, besides studying their evaluation measures and discussing future directions that can strengthen the application of KGs to mitigate data sparsity in recommender systems.
A Comprehensive Study on the Relationship between User Experience of Mobile Learning Platforms and Academic Anxiety among College Students
Authors: Lu Lei
Published: February 2025

With the rapid advancement of information technology, mobile learning platforms have become essential tools for college students to acquire knowledge and enhance their academic performance. However, the widespread use of these platforms has also introduced potential issues such as academic anxiety, adversely affecting students’ learning outcomes and mental health. Existing research indicates a close correlation between the user experience of mobile learning platforms and students’ academic performance and psychological states. A thorough exploration of this relationship can aid in optimizing platform design, enhancing student learning efficiency, and alleviating academic anxiety. Current research methods primarily employ descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, lacking systematic quantitative analysis and the application of modern data mining techniques. This paper utilizes advanced clustering analysis methods to systematically investigate the relationship between college students’ user experiences on mobile learning platforms and their academic anxiety. The study includes predictive modeling based on clustering analysis and a detailed examination and validation of experimental results. The aim of this study is to unveil the intrinsic link between mobile learning platform user experience and academic anxiety, providing a scientific basis for improving platform design and optimizing user experience, thereby promoting the holistic development of college students and enhancing educational quality.

Au narcissisme du « même », qu’est l’amour de soi-même, duquel Freud reste tributaire, Deleuze entend opposer un narcissisme de la différence qui participe à la constitution du moi (et à sa dissolution...). Il trouve sa raison d’être dans les répétitions-synthèses temporelles de Différence et répétition dont se réclament les synthèses de l’inconscient. S’appuyant pourtant sur le narcissisme freudien, Deleuze s’en écarte sur certains points à cause d’enjeux principaux de sa philosophie. Surtout, le narcissisme deleuzien n’est pas seulement individuel mais ontologique (narcissisme du Temps). Il renoue avec une orientation que le freudisme et plus généralement la psychiatrie ont recouvert.
Dual constraints on agent decision-making
Authors: Wang Cuizhu
Published: February 2025

This commentary expands Giuseppe Rocchè’s critique of Raz’s model of exclusionary reasons by addressing its limitations in real-world decision-making. By drawing from theories of bounded rationality and social norms, this commentary highlights how the interplay of cognitive biases and social constraints complicates the exclusionary reasoning process. Bounded rationality reveals cognitive limitations that prevent people from fully filtering biases, even when they intend to follow authority. Whereas research on social norms illustrates how normative pressures lead individuals to align their behaviour with perceived social expectations rather than act purely on rational considerations. These dual constraints underscore a fundamental tension in Raz’s framework: the interplay between individual cognitive limitations and contextual social factors. By integrating empirical and theoretical insights, this commentary strengthens Rocchè’s critique, offering a more comprehensive perspective on the challenges of human reasoning under authoritative guidance.
La résistance à l’arianisme vandale chez les poètes de l’Anthologie latine et chez quelques prosateurs chrétiens contemporains
Authors: Wolff Étienne
Published: February 2025

Les poètes d’époque vandale de l’Anthologie latine, dont on peut avec de bonnes raisons supposer qu’ils étaient des Romains et des chrétiens nicéens, sont des poètes de cour. En conséquence, ils ont choisi d’éviter les sujets susceptibles de fâcher, c’est-à-dire la politique et la religion, au profit d’une célébration des rois vandales et de leurs réalisations. Cependant il est possible, dans certaines de leurs poésies et dans les interstices de leur discours, de distinguer des éléments de critique plus ou moins voilés. On relève et on étudie donc ces quelques éléments de critique, puis on se livre à une comparaison avec des auteurs chrétiens contemporains opposés aux Vandales ariens (Victor de Vita, Quodvultdeus, Fulgence de Ruspe) et dont les œuvres appartiennent à des genres littéraires complètement différents. On fait notamment la différence entre les auteurs laïcs et les auteurs appartenant à l’Église, et entre les exilés qui peuvent avoir une parole plus libre, et les autres, qui doivent s’exprimer avec prudence.
La museología de la ruptura en las exposiciones de Fernando Estévez González
Authors: Hernández Francisca Hernández
Published: February 2025

Ante una visión de la museología tradicional, que consideraba a los museos etnológicos y antropológicos como meros almacenes recopilatorios de los objetos procedentes de la época colonial, surge, como reacción, una nueva forma de museología más centrada en la persona que en los objetos, con un componente de compromiso social y de diálogo con otras comunidades, y con una fuerte carga crítica de las instituciones oficiales. Será Jacques Hainard (1943-), director del Museo de Etnología de Neuchâtel (Suiza), quien iniciará esta corriente crítica con su propuesta de la museología de la ruptura, significándose sobre todo en la manera de concebir las exposiciones. Este artículo pretende centrarse en la figura de Fernando Estévez González (1953-2016), profesor de Antropología en la Universidad de La Laguna (España), considerado como el principal representante de dicha museología en España, pero que no ha sido muy reconocido y valorado por los museólogos españoles. Partiendo de la misma filosofía rupturista etnográfica que Hainard utilizó en Neuchâtel, Estévez se propone aplicarla al Museo de Antropológico de Historia de Tenerife, organizando una serie de exposiciones en las que trata de analizar la temática del turismo y su interacción con los nativos a través de los souvenirs, profundiza en el diálogo con el arte contemporáneo y su compromiso como etnógrafo por romper con la neutralidad científica, y apuesta por narrar y defender la memoria de las minorías sociales y las culturas originarias.
