La gamificación, definida como la incorporación de dinámicas y componentes lúdicos en entornos no recreativos, ha surgido como una estrategia pionera en el campo educativo. Este estudio acadé-mico examina la repercusión de la gamificación en el aprendizaje significativo en el campo de los Estudios Sociales, centrándose en su potencial para potenciar la motivación, la implicación activa y la comprensión de conceptos complejos. La investigación se llevó a cabo mediante una metodolo-gía mixta, empleando tanto métodos cualitativos como cuantitativos, e involucró a 200 alumnos de nivel secundario, divididos en un grupo experimental y un grupo de control. ¡El conjunto experi-mental se involucró en actividades gamificadas concebidas mediante herramientas digitales como Kahoot!, Genially y Minecraft Education, mientras que el conjunto de control empleó metodologías convencionales fundamentadas en la memorización y el análisis textual. A lo largo de un semestre académico, se implementaron evaluaciones estandarizadas, encuestas de percepción estudiantil y entrevistas semiestructuradas con el objetivo de valorar el efecto de las dinámicas gamificadas en el proceso de aprendizaje. Los hallazgos indicaron que el conjunto experimental evidenció un incre-mento del 45% en el rendimiento académico, particularmente en competencias vinculadas a la comprensión histórica, el análisis crítico y la toma de decisiones. Adicionalmente, el 85% de los alumnos manifestó un incremento en el grado de motivación y satisfacción durante el proceso edu-cativo, en contraste con el 40% del grupo de control. Los educadores subrayaron igualmente la efi-cacia de la gamificación en la promoción de un ambiente de aprendizaje colaborativo, inclusivo y centrado en el estudiante. Sin embargo, se identificaron barreras como la necesidad de formación pedagógica en el diseño de actividades gamificadas y la falta de acceso equitativo a herramientas tecnológicas en ciertos contextos educativos. Pese a estas restricciones, la gamificación emerge co-mo una estrategia pedagógica transformadora que no solo promueve el aprendizaje significativo, sino que también fomenta competencias fundamentales del siglo XXI, tales como la creatividad, la solución de problemas y la colaboración grupal. Para concluir, la implementación de la gamifica-ción en el campo de los Estudios Sociales constituye una oportunidad para reconfigurar las prácti-cas pedagógicas convencionales, vinculando la teoría con la práctica y transformando el aula en un entorno dinámico y estimulante. Se propone su puesta en práctica en otros niveles y áreas del cu-rrículo.

Published: February 2025

Cassia fistula Linn. (Fabacae) has large foliage, beautiful yellow flowers, and is widely grown in many urban areas of Vietnam. However, damage by some pests has significantly degraded the health and aesthetics of the damaged trees. In this study we collected and identified pest samples on C. fistula trees in Hanoi, Son La, Yen Bai and Dak Lak provinces, Vietnam. The results recorded species of two caterpillars, Copamyntis alectryonura Meyrick (Pyralidae), Eurema hecabe Linnaeus (Pieridae), one fruit borer Cryptophlebia ombrodelta Lower (Tortricidae), and one stem borer Neurozerra conferta Walker (Cossidae). Further research is needed to develop monitoring protocols and control solutions for management of these pests.
Melting Heat Transfer Effects on MHD Chemically Thermally Radiative Micropolar Fluid Flow towards Stretching Exponentially Sheet with Heat Sink/Source

Published: February 2025

The effective use of non-Newtonian fluids is vital for situations involving heat and mass transfer. For instance, we employ thermal paste, a non-Newtonian fluid, to cool the CPU. By means of a computational approach, the behaviour of non-Newtonian on the surface of a two-dimensional steady MHD boundary layer flow and melting heat and mass transfer over a micropolar fluid is presented here, in conjunction with a partially slipper sheet at the surface providing heat generation/absorption. Further, heat radiation as well as chemical reactions are considered. Using similarity parameters, the governing nonlinear partial differential equations for heat, mass and flow are converted into a series of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations, then solved using the Runge–Kutta fourth order integration scheme and the shooting method. For various parameters defining the flow within the boundary layer, the new findings for velocity, microrotation, temperature and concentration are graphed. Graphic representations of local skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are provided. Boosting the melting parameter decreases fluid velocity, microrotation and temperature significantly. An intensification in slip near the boundary decreases both fluid velocity and microrotation, but opposite effects are observed on temperature.

Published: February 2025

The role of ultra-micro gas turbines becomes increasingly strategic in the global shift towards electrification. Currently, battery density significantly lags behind kerosene, making hybrid technology, particularly involving ultra-micro gas turbines, a pertinent solution. Development challenges primarily revolve around engine components operating at high speeds of up to 2 million rpm. The use of porous media, while effective, is limited in Indonesia, prompting the exploration of alternatives. The perforated plate emerges as a promising solution, capable of inducing turbulence and streamlining flow. This study evaluates the flow patterns of the perforated plate, focusing on turbulence generation and combustion stability. Results indicate the potential of the perforated plate to replace porous media with lower pressure loss. The combination of the perforated plate produces the highest-pressure loss, increasing with Reynolds number, significantly contributing to combustion stability. The single perforated plate staggered scheme shows promising characteristics because its flow structure generates high turbulence intensity with low pressure loss, demonstrating practical applicability potential on a larger scale.

The quality and cleanliness of the Product are the main focus in the food industry. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) makes it possible to design and optimize production equipment, as well as maintain the quality and cleanliness of food production. Research on this matter is important to test the initial stages of using CFD in food production. Therefore, this research aims to conduct a theoretical study and analysis of research developments regarding CFD in Food Production and its impact on the quality and level of food hygiene. This research uses bibliometrics supported by theoretical analysis. The research procedure consists of (i) determining the study topic, (ii) collecting publication data, (iii) processing article text and bibliometric data, (iv) visualization of bibliometric data mapping, and (v) analysis of bibliometric data visualization results. The search keywords used were "Computational Fluid Dynamics" AND "Food Production". The research results show that the first journal-type CFD in food production appeared in 2006 and will most often occur in 2022. The results of bibliometric data mapping show that the word "simulation" is a word that has a high number of connections and appears in several nodes. Apart from that, in writing articles on this theme, 14 countries were involved. CFD plays a role in helping maintain the quality and cleanliness of food production through simulating several food production processes.
A Computational Solution of Melting Process inside a Sphere Towards the Latent Heat Storage in a Solar Air Heater
Authors: Hung Tran Van , Ngo Tu Thien , Phu Nguyen Minh
Published: February 2025

Latent heat storage using the phase change material (PCM) in a solar air collector is a measure to extend the collector's operating time during off sunshine period because air cannot store heat. In this paper, the melting prediction of spherical PCM under hot air convection is established by a one-dimensional unsteady enthalpy equation and solved by the finite difference method. The numerical results are compared with published data to confirm the accuracy. The independent parameters to investigate the charging include sphere diameter, air temperature, air velocity and initial temperature of PCM. The effects of air temperature and sphere diameter are significant on the melting rate of PCM. When the diameter increases by 2.5 times, the time to complete liquefaction increases by 5 times. At an air temperature of 70C, the required liquefaction time is 75 mins for a 40 mm diameter sphere.

Magnus wind turbines have a wide range of advantages ranging from generating energy at low wind speeds to adapting to any wind direction. However, the cylindrical blades themselves have high drag and low lift. The aim of the work is to study the addition of a fixed blade to the cylindrical blades of a wind turbine to improve the efficiency of the entire wind turbine. The paper presents a numerical study of the lifting force and drag force of a wind turbine, as well as the blades themselves, averaged over time from the air flow velocity and the number of revolutions. Using the averaging method of the Navier-Stokes equations RANS (Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes), numerical results were obtained showing the efficiency of the installation starting from 3 m/s, i.e. low wind speeds. It is determined that the use of adding a fixed blade to a rotating cylinder gives an increase in the value of the lifting force from 40-55% and power factor of the wind turbine by almost 1.5-1.7 times due to the regulation and reduction of the disruption of vortices behind the rotating cylinder. The effect of the plate on the velocity and pressure field is illustrated. The results obtained are useful when designing real experimental installations.

Published: February 2025

Non-litigation conflicts can be settled in a number of ways, including through arbitration and mediation. "A method for testing a particular theory by examining the relationship between variables" is the quantitative approach that is employed. The study's findings indicate that the time frames for arbitrating and mediating disputes differ; specifically, the arbitration ruling must be rendered no later than 30 days following the conclusion of the dispute examination. The cost of using the mediation room is not included in the price of using mediation to settle issues in court. This period may be extended, nevertheless, by the arbitration panel or the lone arbitrator. After the mediator is chosen, the mediation procedure can take up to 40 working days, and the arbitration ruling is final and binding on the parties. A maximum extension of 14 working days may be made to this time frame. In the event that mediation produces a written agreement, the parties are required to draft and sign it. The fees for arbitrating disputes differ based on the arbitration organization and the amount of the claim; they could include Registration cost: The registration cost for the arbitration request, Cost of administration: The arbitration administration charge is determined using a tariff scale. Arbitrator's fee: The cost of hiring arbitrators is determined using a tariff scale. along with The cost of hearing: The parties, respondent, or applicant bear the pro rata costs of the arbitration hearing.

From Pioneer to Latecomer: Relations between Austria and the Soviet Union (Russia) in the Oil and Gas Sector
Authors: Iber Walter M. , Huber Christoph
Published: February 2025

Cooperation between Austria and the Soviet Union and then Russia in the oil and
gas sector has a long history. When Austria fell under Soviet occupation after World
War II, the Soviets confiscated the Austrian oil fields and founded the Soviet Mineral
Oil Administration (Sowjetische Mineralölverwaltung, SMV). Most of the Austrian oil
produced was exported to communist Central and Eastern Europe. Through agreements
within the framework of the State Treaty, Austria was able to bring the Soviet mineral oil
complex under its administration. Austrian Mineral Oil Administration (Österreichische
Mineralölverwaltung AG, ÖMV) was founded in 1956. In 1968, Austria became the first
Western European country to import Soviet natural gas from the other side of the Iron
Curtain. The steel producer VÖEST supplied pipelines to the Soviet Union for this
purpose. The gas contract was extended several times and is now valid until 2040.

Exploring the Determinants of Liquidity of Private Commercial Banks in Bangladesh
Authors: Hoque Md. Amdadul , Akter Ripa , Begum Fahmida
Published: February 2025

Purpose: The main objective of this study is to explore the critical bank-specific determinants of the liquidity of private commercial banks in Bangladesh.
Methods: This research examined the financial statements of twenty private commercial banks in Bangladesh over thirteen years (2010–2022). Various statistical tests and analyses, including the F-test, Breusch and Pagan LM Test, Modified Wald Test, Pesaran CD Test, Wooldridge Test, and Feasible GLS Model, were employed to evaluate the panel data.
Results: The regression results showed that the net interest margin, capital adequacy, financial leverage, credit quality, operating efficiency, and bank age are statistically significant variables influencing the liquidity of private commercial banks in Bangladesh. The study also indicates that a bank`s age moderates the impact of financial leverage, credit quality, and operating efficiency on liquidity.
Implications: The study's theoretical implications deepen understanding of factors influencing bank liquidity, integrating bank age as a moderating variable. As far as the practice is concerned, it assists policymakers and bank managers in enhancing liquidity management techniques, guaranteeing financial stability, and promoting resilience within the banking industry.
Originality: This study distinguishes itself by examining the moderating effect of bank age on liquidity determinants in private commercial banks in Bangladesh, a facet seldom explored in prior studies.
The effect of nature-based landscape design on human health and well-being: a thematic synthesis
Authors: Zhu Qiuxia , Yao Pinyi , Li Jiexu
Published: February 2025

Population growth, high-density living situations, and rapid urbanization lead to environmental change that affects ecosystems, human behavior, and well-being. To design health-promoting urban landscapes, it is necessary to conduct more detailed studies of landscape features. However, there is a lack of review articles discussing specific approaches and factors of landscape design for human well-being in evidence-based landscape research. Therefore, this review aims to explore the research trends and future studies’ direction by adopting a thematic analysis approach. Using ATLAS.ti 23 software, we analyzed 40 literature articles on landscape design and human well-being published between 2018 and 2022. The article attribute findings show the research trends on the topic. Six main themes emerged from the subsequent qualitative analysis: (1) Human-nature Interactions, (2) Health-promoting Design, (3) Integrative Strategies, (4) Landscape Intervention, (5) Perceptions and Restorativeness, and (6) Sustainability. The resulting framework serves to guide landscape designers, urban planners, and researchers to improve the effectiveness of public social, physical, and mental health with feasible measures and design approaches.
Orbits of Six Triple Systems
Authors: Tokovinin Andrei
Published: February 2025

Joint analysis of position measurements and radial velocities of six triple stellar systems is conducted to determine their inner and/or outer orbits. Accumulation of such data is needed to study the architecture of stellar hierarchies and its relation to the formation mechanisms. The inner periods in the six systems (HIP 11783, 64836, 72423, 84720, 89234, and 105404) range from 0.5 days to 44 yr. The shortest outer period of 3.34 yr is found in the compact triple HIP 105404 (BS Ind). The resolved triple system HIP 64836 has comparable inner and outer periods (5 and 30 yr), placing it near the limit of dynamical stability, while its quasi-circular and coplanar orbits suggest a 1:6 mean motion resonance. The periods in HIP 89234 (44 and ~450 yr) are also comparable, but the mutual orbit inclination is large, 54°. Masses of the components are estimated and each system is discussed individually.
Determination of the Analytical Solutions of the Radio Emission Geometry and Polar Cap Structure of Pulsars Having Perturbed Dipole
Authors: Roy Tridib , Tamilan Mageshwaran , Das Ramkrishna
Published: February 2025

We model an analytical solution to generate the shape of the polar cap structure and discuss the geometrical distortion due to the presence of both longitudinal plasma current flow across the polar cap regime, i.e., polar cap current perturbation, and pulsar rotation, i.e., rotational perturbation. An analytical solution to the parameter space associated with the radio emission geometrical coordinate is produced by using the first- and second-order power series expansion method for the rotationally perturbed dipole case. In general, polar caps show a quasi-elliptical shape, but in the presence of higher-order plasma current our results show that they can be converted into an elliptical structure with a monotonically reduced dimension. Our results show that the rotational effect also leads to a contraction of the dimensions of the polar cap for a given range of the obliquity parameters. We have found that the last open field line constant, as a fraction of the light cylinder radius, decreases in the presence of nonzero plasma current discharge. We also demonstrate that under certain conditions introducing a higher-order plasma current (e.g., with a scale factor ζ

p
= J/J
GJ close to 1 in the closed field line region) can lead to a structure resembling a cosmic-combed magnetosphere.
Late-time Optical and X-Ray Emission Evolution of the Oxygen-rich SN 1996cr
Authors: Patnaude Daniel , Weil Kathryn E. , Fesen Robert A. , Milisavljevic Dan , Kraft Ralph P.
Published: February 2025

When the ejecta of a supernova (SN) interact with the progenitor star's circumstellar environment, a strong shock is driven back into the ejecta, causing the material to become bright optically and in X-rays. Most notably, as the shock traverses the H-rich envelope, it begins to interact with metal-rich material. Thus, continued monitoring of bright and nearby SNe provides valuable clues about both the progenitor structure and its pre-SN evolution. Here we present late-time, multiepoch optical and Chandra X-ray spectra of the core-collapse SN, SN 1996cr. Magellan IMACS optical spectra taken in 2017 July and 2021 August show a very different spectrum from that seen in 2006 with broad, double-peaked optical emission lines of oxygen, argon, and sulfur with expansion velocities of ±4500 km s−1. Redshifted emission components are considerably fainter compared to the blueshifted components, presumably due to internal extinction from dust in the SN ejecta. Broad ±2400 km s−1 Hα is also seen, which we infer is shocked progenitor pre-SN, mass-loss, H-rich material. Chandra data indicate a slow but steady decline in the overall X-ray luminosity, suggesting that the forward shock has broken through any circumstellar shell or torus, which is inferred from prior deep Chandra ACIS-S/HETG observations. The X-ray properties are consistent with what is expected from a shock breaking out into a lower-density environment. Though originally identified as a Type IIn SN, based upon late-time optical emission-line spectra, we argue that the SN 1996cr progenitor was partially or highly stripped, suggesting a Type IIb/Ib SN.
MAGICS. II. Seed Black Holes Stripped of Their Surrounding Stars Do Not Sink

Published: February 2025

Massive black hole (MBH) seed mergers are expected to be among the loudest sources of gravitational waves detected by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, providing a unique window into the birth and early growth of MBHs. We present the MAGICS-II simulation suite, which consists of six galaxy mergers that result in MBH seed mergers identified in the cosmological simulation ASTRID. With the enhanced resolution (mass resolution: 500 M
⊙; softening length: 5 pc), improved subgrid models for the MBH dynamics and accretion, and the accurate regularized gravity integrator included in KETJU, we trace MBH seed dynamics down to 0.1 pc. After evolving all the systems for  ≈1.2 Gyr in three stages (MAGICS-2000, MAGICS-500, and MAGICS-K), we find in four of the six systems that the MBHs stall at separations Δr ≳ 200 pc. Only in two systems, the MBHs manage to sink further, and only in one of them a bound binary forms. In the sinking systems, the MBH retains a population of bound stars. The final separation between the MBH is related to the surrounding unstripped stellar (and/or dark matter) mass: if more than 90% of the surrounding stellar system is stripped away, the MBHs stall. Besides the unstripped stars from the original host galaxy, we find that newly formed stars bound to the MBH significantly contribute to its sinking. Resolving the stellar system around MBH seeds, and its induced tidal interactions and dynamical friction is key for accurately capturing MBH dynamics. For this, high-resolution simulations are required. In a companion paper (MAGICS-III), we resimulate the central regions of these systems with an increased resolution to model directly the effects of actual star clusters around MBHs.
Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Nanoflare Heating during Active Region Evolution

Published: February 2025

Nanoflares are believed to be key contributors to heating solar nonflaring active regions, though their individual detection remains challenging. This study uses a data-driven field-aligned hydrodynamic model to examine nanoflare properties throughout the lifecycle of active region (AR) 12758. We simulate coronal loop emissions, where each loop is heated by random nanoflares depending on the loop parameters derived from photospheric magnetograms observed by the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager. Simulated X-ray flux and temperature can reproduce the temporal variations observed by the Chandrayaan-2/Solar X-ray Monitor. Our findings show that high-frequency nanoflares contribute to cool emissions across the AR, while low- and intermediate-frequency primarily contribute to hot emissions. During the emerging phase, energy deposition is dominated by low-frequency events. Post-emergence, energy is deposited by both low- and intermediate-frequency nanoflares, while as the AR ages, the contribution from intermediate- and high-frequency nanoflares increases. The spatial distribution of heating frequencies across the AR reveals a clear pattern: the core of the active region spends most of its time in a low-frequency heating state, the periphery is dominated by high-frequency heating, and the region between the core and periphery experiences intermediate-frequency heating.

We present  ∼115 new spectroscopically identified members of the GD-1 tidal stream observed with the 5000-fiber Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). We confirm the existence of a “cocoon,” which is a broad (FWHM ∼ 2

.

°

932 ∼ 460 pc) and kinematically hot (velocity dispersion, σ ∼ 5–8 km s−1) component that surrounds a narrower (FWHM ∼ 0

.

°

353 ∼ 55 pc) and colder [(σ = 3.09 ± 0.76 km s−1)] thin stream component (based on a median per star velocity precision of 2.7 km s−1). The cocoon extends over at least a 30∘ segment of the stream observed by DESI. The thin and cocoon components have similar mean values of [Fe/H]: −2.54 ± 0.04 dex and −2.47 ± 0.06 dex, suggestive of a common origin. The data are consistent with the following scenarios for the origin of the cocoon. The progenitor of the GD-1 stream was an accreted globular cluster (GC) and: (a) the cocoon was produced by pre-accretion tidal stripping of the GC while it was still inside its parent dwarf galaxy; (b) the cocoon comprises debris from the parent dwarf galaxy; (c) an initially thin GC tidal stream was heated by impacts from dark subhalos in the Milky Way; (d) an initially thin GC stream was heated by a massive Sagittarius dwarf galaxy; or a combination of some of these. Future DESI spectroscopy and detailed modeling may enable us to distinguish between these possible origins.
SPOCK 2.0: Updates to the FeatureClassifier in the Stability of Planetary Orbital Configurations Klassifier
Authors: Thadhani Elio , Ba 巴 Yanming 燕鸣 , Rein Hanno , Tamayo Daniel
Published: February 2025

The Stability of Planetary Orbital Configurations Klassifier (SPOCK) package collects machine learning models for predicting the stability and collisional evolution of compact planetary systems. In this paper we explore improvements to SPOCK’s binary stability classifier (FeatureClassifier), which predicts orbital stability by collecting data over a short N-body integration of a system. We find that by using a system-specific timescale (rather than a fixed 104 orbits) for the integration, and by using this timescale as an additional feature, we modestly improve the model’s AUC metric from 0.943 to 0.950 (AUC = 1 for a perfect model). We additionally discovered that ≈10% of N-body integrations in SPOCK’s original training data set were duplicated by accident, and that <1% were misclassified as stable when they in fact led to ejections. We provide a cleaned data set of 100,000+ unique integrations, release a newly trained stability classification model, and make minor updates to the API.
Female and male genital surface microstructures in shining leaf beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Criocerinae)
Authors: Matsumura Yoko
Published: February 2025

Female genital diversity and co-evolution of female and male genitalia have been increasingly unveiled, particularly through recent studies. These findings highlight the importance of genital coupling in genital studies. In this pilot study, I examined membranous elements of female and male genitalia that come into physical contact during copulation in five representative species of shining leaf beetles by employing stereomicroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The female genital surfaces are largely smooth, but a thickened patch bearing sensilla is present. In contrast, the male surfaces are at least partially covered with microprotrusions. I present distribution maps of these microstructures for all study species. By comparing the results with those of previous studies, I discuss their possible functions and future research directions in this field.
Recurrent pregnancy loss: etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment
Authors: Kirovakov Zlatko , Gyokova Elitsa H. , Hinkova Nadezhda H. , Konova Emiliana I.
Published: February 2025

The current article aims to provide an analytical review of the aetiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) with a focus on Bulgaria. RPL has become an important reproductive health issue worldwide and affects 2%–3% of reproductive-aged women. The findings showed that the etiological factors can be biological, hereditary or environmental, and in approximately 50% of RPL cases, these factors remain unknown. In relation to pathophysiological processes associated with the condition, the findings showed that different etiological factors affect different gestational processes, such as alteration of the structural and nanomechanical abnormalities of the platelets and disruption of the ANXA5 protective shield that prevents adverse pregnancy outcomes. Also, acquired uterine structural defects such as submucosal uterine leiomyomas, endometrial synechiae, and polyps disrupt the implantation and embryonic development processes, which can result in recurrent miscarriages. A common factor for diagnostic approaches to recurrent pregnancy loss is the examination of historical medical records of patients who have experienced the condition and the identification of possible etiological and risk factors. The management and treatment of recurrent pregnancy loss are often based on the results of the diagnostic tests used to determine the underlying etiological factors associated with the condition.
Predator responses to artificial aposematic and cryptic colouration in terrestrial isopods (Isopoda, Oniscidea)
Authors: Skočková Lenka , Ďurajková Barbora , Tuf Ivan Hadrián
Published: February 2025

Aposematism is a distinctive or warning signal that provides the animal with protection against a potential predator. Aposematic colouration is easier for a predator to remember and to avoid a dangerous and/or unpalatable prey in the future. We investigated whether distinctive colouration has an aposematic function in terrestrial isopods. The common rough woodlice (Porcellio scaber) were used as a model species of terrestrial isopods and the Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus) as a predatory species. To imitate the distinctive colouration on isopods we marked their dorsal plates with yellow dots. The control group of the woodlice were marked with grey spots. Differences in behaviour (observation, manipulation and consummation) and the lizards’ behaviour changes towards aposematically and cryptically coloured prey were analysed. Differences were found in prey observation both between sexes and between prey colours.
Psychotherapy and Psychosis

Published: February 2025

Psychosis, characterized by positive symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions and negative symptoms like flat affect and anhedonia, impacts 3% of the population, profoundly affecting functioning and quality of life. Recent advances in psychiatry have integrated psychotherapy into patient-centered care for psychosis, complementing medication management. Cognitive-behavioral therapy for psychosis (CBTp) and its variations, alongside family psychoeducation and social-skills training, represent evidence-based interventions aimed at reducing psychosis-related distress and improving functionality. Challenges such as substance use, cultural barriers, and comorbidities necessitate specialized, integrated approaches. This article reviews evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions, techniques like reality testing and cognitive restructuring, and adaptations for special populations, including minorities, transgender individuals, and older adults. Despite progress, disparities in treatment access and research gaps persist, particularly for children and adolescents. Addressing these barriers and refining culturally and contextually sensitive interventions is crucial for optimizing outcomes in individuals with psychosis.

Metabolic Issues—Side Effects of Antipsychotics
Authors: Iqbal Syed , McDeavitt Kathleen , Han Jin Yong , Li Benjamin T. , Beal Lauren Ludmila , Zaidi Mariam , Shah Asim A.
Published: February 2025

Chronic mental illnesses need prolonged use of antipsychotic treatment to maintain remission of symptoms. First-generation antipsychotics (FGAs) are mostly associated with extrapyramidal side effects and dyskinetic movement disorders. The second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) are commonly used, associated with metabolic side effects collectively named metabolic syndrome (MetS), including weight gain, dyslipidemia, hyper-tension, and insulin resistance. MetS increases morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular complications. Monitoring and prompt treatment are of paramount importance. Patients should be educated about lifestyle modifications. Switching medications precipitates relapse of symptoms and is not be feasible in all cases. Off-label treatment, including metformin or topiramate, can be added to minimize the side effects.

Deux grammaires de l’arabe à contre-courant : A Grammar of the Classical Arabic Language de M. S. Howell et la Grammaire arabe composée d’après les sources primitives de D. Vernier
Authors: Guillaume Jean-Patrick
Published: February 2025

La grammaire arabe de M. S. Howell (1880-1911) et celle de D. Vernier (1891-1892) se caractérisent par le fait qu’elles se fondent de manière exclusive sur la tradition grammaticale autochtone. Cette orientation va à l’encontre de la tendance alors dominante dans les études arabes et sémitiques, marquées par l’hégémonie du paradigme historico-comparatiste. Après avoir tenté de dégager les motivations d’un tel projet, cet article examine la démarche respective des deux auteurs, et aborde enfin la question de leur réception, à l’époque de leur publication et sur le long terme.
