AbstractHolography is an essential technique of generating three-dimensional images. Recently, quantum holography with undetected photons (QHUP) has emerged as a groundbreaking method capable of capturing complex amplitude images. Despite its potential, the practical application of QHUP has been limited by susceptibility to phase disturbances, low interference visibility, and limited spatial resolution. Deep learning, recognized for its ability in processing complex data, holds significant promise in addressing these challenges. In this report, we present an ample advancement in QHUP achieved by harnessing the power of deep learning to extract images from single-shot holograms, resulting in vastly reduced noise and distortion, alongside a notable enhancement in spatial resolution. The proposed and demonstrated deep learning QHUP (DL-QHUP) methodology offers a transformative solution by delivering high-speed imaging, improved spatial resolution, and superior noise resilience, making it suitable for diverse applications across an array of research fields stretching from biomedical imaging to remote sensing. DL-QHUP signifies a crucial leap forward in the realm of holography, demonstrating its immense potential to revolutionize imaging capabilities and pave the way for advancements in various scientific disciplines. The integration of DL-QHUP promises to unlock new possibilities in imaging applications, transcending existing limitations and offering unparalleled performance in challenging environments.

AbstractIn the realm of ever-changing e-commerce, understanding the dynamics of customer online buying behavior (COBB) is pivotal. This study investigates the impact of risk factors—financial risk (FR), time risk (TR), and psychological risk (PR) along with social media advertising (SMA) on COBB with the mediating effect of trust. Grounded on the stimulus–organism–response theory, the research targets diverse segments including students, businessmen, employees, working women, and housewives. To ensure a high response rate, an online questionnaire was distributed via email, WhatsApp, and social media groups of online buyers. Convenience sampling was used to collect primary data from 350 respondents. Data analysis that employed the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, including descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, normality testing, and regression analysis, was performed for reliability, validity and hypothesis testing. The findings underscore the significant negative impact of risk factors (FR, TR, PR) on building customer trust and subsequent online shopping behavior. Social media advertising has a positive and significant impact on trust and COBB. Furthermore, trust emerged as a significant determinant of COBB, thereby validating its pivotal role in online consumer decision-making processes. Moreover, trust mediates the relationship between risk factors, SMA and COBB. This study consists of both practical and theoretical contributions, offering insights into the nuanced interplay between risk perceptions, SMA effectiveness, trust dynamics, and COBB. These insights are essential for marketers, policymakers, and researchers navigating the evolving landscape of e-commerce.
Repurposing dapagliflozin for Alzheimer's disease: a mechanistic exploration
Authors: Saeed Marwa M. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Background
Several researches describe Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as Type-III diabetes mellitus due to shared pathophysiological mechanisms between AD and DM and the fact that one disease can increase the incidence of the other. Therefore, keeping glucose level under control protects the brain from its harmful effects and delays the incidence of AD in susceptible individuals by using anti-diabetic agents. Several anti-diabetic classes were explored for their protective effect against AD, among them that attracted more attention was sodium–glucose cotransporter inhibitor dapagliflozin (DAPA).

Main body of the abstract
This review aims at illustrating various protective mechanisms that DAPA proved to exert on cognition and memory. DAPA showed promising results by its influence on behavioral parameters highlighted enhancement of both spatial and non-spatial learning and memory, in addition to ameliorating associated anxiety by its effect on various neurotransmitters. DAPA succeeded in promoting neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and synaptic density, and managed to demonstrate anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiapoptotic properties. Moreover, DAPA enhanced the activity of mitochondria and promoted autophagy, in addition to its impact on the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways.

Short conclusion
DAPA showed promising results in different AD models to enhance memory and improve cognitive deficits.

Abstract
Background
Idiopathic scoliosis is a common musculoskeletal disorder that affects spinal and pelvic alignment and exacerbates menstrual discomfort in young females. Studies have reported the importance of involving myofascial components in treating scoliotic patients; however, few studies have been conducted. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of adding myofascial release (MFR) to corrective stabilizing exercise on spinal curvature, premenstrual symptoms, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in young females with idiopathic scoliosis.

Methods
Fifty-two females with idiopathic scoliosis, aged 18–25 years, and with a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5–24.9 kg/m2 were randomly assigned to two groups equal in number. The control group received corrective stabilizing exercises two sessions/week for 8 weeks. The MFR group received the same exercises and MFR therapy two sessions/week for 8 weeks. The scoliometer was used to evaluate thoracic and lumbar angles, Italian Spine Youth Quality of Life (ISYQOL) to assess HRQOL, and menstrual symptoms questionnaire (MSQ) to evaluate premenstrual symptoms before and after the treatment.

Results
There was a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in the thoracic and lumbar angles, menstrual backache, and PMS score and a significant increase (p < 0.05) in the HRQOL score in the control and MFR groups. However, there were no significant differences (p > 0.05) between both groups after treatment.

Conclusion
Corrective stabilizing exercises with or without MFR effectively improve thoracic and lumbar angles, HRQOL, menstrual backache, and premenstrual symptoms. The addition of MFR to stabilizing exercises produced changes that are clinically important for females with idiopathic scoliosis.

The Logic of the Void
Authors: Visser Robin 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article primarily considers the possibility of translating between Indigenous and settler modes of ecological thought and praxis. The former often manifest analogously to quantum field theory, where, as Indigene Linda Yarrowin states, “it's all connected,” while the latter depend on the Newtonian logic of the void to create simplified universal models. The author first provides green governance examples of these differences from Australia's Northern Territories and Xinjiang Uyghur Region, adopting Karen Barad's agential realism to distinguish among modes of thought. Next is an analysis of Taiwanese novelist Wu Ming-yi's attempt to engage these cosmologies in his acclaimed “ecocosmopolitan” novel The Man with the Compound Eyes (2011), assessing the viability of “patchy Anthropocene” as a means of translating, or making visible, ecologies occluded by Newtonian void logic. The author argues that Wu's novel succeeds in this endeavor by depicting local and global processes of settler-colonial decolonization and indicting epistemologies of “radioactive racism” that view Pacific islands as “empty” of life, logics that rationalized US Cold War nuclear tests and radiation experiments on Marshall Island Indigenes.
Ecology, (Post)Humanism, and Liu Cixin's Three-Body Problem
Authors: Hosek Melissa A. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article reads Liu Cixin's award-winning Chinese science fiction novel The Three-Body Problem (2007, in English 2014) as a work of climate fiction. By analyzing the novel's portrayal of ecological crisis, dystopian outlook, and inexplicable dream sequences, this article identifies an overarching environmental theme complexly entangled in politics and idealism. While signaling a definite shift away from anthropocentrism, the narrative nonetheless reasserts humanist and anthropocentric assumptions. As such, the novel speaks to the inseverable connections between humans and nonhumans while simultaneously contemplating the reality of human extinction events. Riddled with such contradictions, The Three-Body Problem thus represents the experience of hope and cynicism in the face of radically transforming human/nonhuman relationships—a sentiment likely shared by many readers in our age of eco-crisis.
Future Emotions and Senses
Authors: Chu Kiu-Wai 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article focuses on Chinese science fiction writer Chen Qiufan's 陳楸帆 (1981–) short stories to examine the changing environmental messages they convey over the decade 2012–2022. Borrowing environmental philosopher Glenn A. Albrecht's concepts of psychoterratic emotions, the article demonstrates how Chen's “Weilai Bingshi” 未來病史 (A History of Future Illnesses) reflects the collective fear and anxiety of human beings when encountering a range of environmental crises. Turning to his “Balin” 巴鱗 (Balin), “Taikong Dacong” 太空大蔥 (Space Leek), and “Jun Ge” 菌歌 (Do You Hear the Fungi Sing?), the article suggests signs of a positive turn can be seen in Chen's more recent works, with the emphasis gradually shifting from fearful, pessimistic visions of future ecodystopia that alarm us to compassionate visions of multispecies entanglements, as well as the reenchantment of the world through finding mutual enhancements of spiritualism and technologism. By examining the interplay between modernity and tradition, technology and superstition, and by reinventing the spirit of Chinese native-soil and hometown writing, Chen Qiufan's short stories of psychoterratic emotions and senses urge us to reconceptualize and renew our commitments to what we call “home” on both local and planetary scales, in the Anthropocene present as well as post-Anthropocene future.
Indifference as Alienation in Chen Qiufan's Science Fiction Waste Tide
Authors: Hua Yuanyuan , Zhang Yunfan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Slow violence, or the gradual ecological devastation that goes unnoticed, is not always discernible to our perceptions. It is the indifference toward environmental degradation and the suffering experienced by marginalized communities that contributes to the phenomenon of slow violence becoming “out of sight.” In its refusal to take responsibility, this type of indifference fails to acknowledge or realize the unequal social structures and systems that have become accepted as “natural” or commonplace. Drawing on the perspective of the Frankfurt school, this article argues that Chen Qiufan's 陳楸帆 (1981–) Huangchao 荒潮 (Waste Tide) serves as an exceptional ecological narrative within Chinese science fiction, shedding light on how indifference leads to the invisibility of environmental degradation and the struggles of marginalized groups. Moreover, it reveals that the perceived “natural” and unequal systems are the root causes behind such irresponsible behavior, serving as a symptom of alienation. Through an analysis of Waste Tide, this article examines the relationship between environmental injustice and indifference, demonstrating that waste, as evidence of environmental injustice, is a social problem inherent in capitalism. Furthermore, this article adopts a global perspective by exploring the manifestations of indifference serving as alienation presented in the novel. By delving into the fictional exploration of ecological and sociological relationships found in Chinese science fiction, this research contributes to the broad discourse surrounding the global ecological and social crisis.

Published: December 2024

Aims/Background Decompensated cirrhosis is characterized by the progression of cirrhosis from an asymptomatic state to elevated portal pressure and marked deterioration of liver function. This pathological condition progresses rapidly following onset, significantly raising the risk for mortality. The aim of this study is to explore the association between serum lactate concentrations and mortality rates in individuals with hepatitis B-induced decompensated cirrhosis and to evaluate its potential as a clinical prognostic indicator. Methods This retrospective analysis involved 200 individuals (134 men and 66 women) diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis related to hepatitis B and hospitalized between March 2017 and May 2023. Out of these patients, 162 survived while 38 did not. Clinical information and laboratory results, including the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, Child-Pugh score, and serum lactate levels, were collected. Logistic regression was applied to identify mortality risk factors from the patient sample and groups categorized according to gender. The predictive value of serum lactate levels for mortality was assessed using the area under the curve (AUC), i.e., receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results The surviving patient group showed significantly lowered MELD scores, Child-Pugh scores, and serum lactate levels compared to those who were deceased (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that the MELD score, Child-Pugh score, and serum lactate levels were independent predictors of mortality in patients with decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis, with odds ratios (OR) of 1.321, 1.432, and 49.082, respectively (p = 0.012, 0.028, and <0.001, respectively). Additionally, the OR for serum lactate levels was notably higher in female patients compared to male patients (46.824 vs. 30.451). Thus, the MELD score, Child-Pugh score, and serum lactate levels are effective predictors for mortality in cirrhosis patients (AUCs = 0.628, 0.675, and 0.809; p = 0.014, 0.001, and <0.001, respectively), with serum lactate levels showing the most excellent predictive efficacy profile (sensitivity 65.8% and specificity 97.5%). Additionally, the AUC value for serum lactate levels was lower in male patients (0.785) compared to female patients (0.875), indicating that changes in serum lactate levels were more sensitive in female patients. In summary, serum lactate concentration is a prognostic indicator of mortality in individuals with decompensated cirrhosis due to hepatitis B, exhibiting higher predictive significance in female patients. Conclusion Deceased patients with decompensated cirrhosis linked to hepatitis B exhibit markedly increased serum lactate levels. Thus, monitoring serum lactate levels offers an effective tool for predicting patient prognosis, exhibiting higher sensitivity for disease detection in female patients.
Responding to crisis: The Cuban leadership copes with mass protests, 2020–2022
Authors: Domínguez Jorge I. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
How did the Cuban government and Communist Party respond to mass protests in 2020–2022? This article explores the official tools used to respond to such protests. Contrary to common perceptions, the government and the party did not merely repress their opponents. Instead, they combined repression with some economic, social, and political changes. Mass protests in Cuba 2020–2022 challenged the political order the most in 40 years. Repression, ‘socialist legality’, emigration, elements of political accountability, and selective political liberalisation targeting appeals to churches, LGBTQI+, and Afro-descendant groups were within the toolkit. There was also some liberalisation within the National Assembly and the Supreme Court as well as selective democratisation, submitting the draft Family Code to public discussion and referendum, permitting opposition. The enactment of limited market reforms, which had been first authorised ten years earlier, also accelerated.
Fibered luminescent concentrator: A bridge between flashlamp devices and laser technologies for skin therapy
Authors: Le Blanc Catherine , Perrot Jean-Luc , Balembois François 
Published: December 2024

Background and objectives
Laser skin therapy and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy are both light-based treatments used for various skin concerns. They have been used since decades and each system have their own specificity, advantages, and drawbacks. However specific treatment is still not accessible with standard techniques due to difficulties having a source with both laser and IPL advantages. We describe a new concept, the fibered luminescent concentrator—FLC, based on luminescent concentrators capable of concentrating spectrally and spatially an IPL source, resulting in a multi-color fibered device.

Study design/materials and methods
The FLC utilizes luminescent materials arranged in parallelepiped shapes polished on all faces. The IPL broadband spectrum is absorbed by the luminescent molecules and is re-emitted to a red shifted wavelength. The emitted spectral bandwidth ranges from green to dark red, depending on the type of luminescent concentrator. This light is then spatially concentrated by total internal reflections in the parallelepiped and guided through a fiber to the final operator.

Results
We have developed three different solid luminescent concentrators based on a transparent polymer sheet (PMMA) doped with luminescent organic dye molecules for yellow and red emission, and an alexandrite crystal for emission in the dark red spectrum. We demonstrate that our new non-laser FLC device can concentrate spectrally and spatially the light with no temporal deformation and offers real opportunities for treatments where the IPL is less well-adapted.

Conclusion
The FLC is an additional tool for existing conventional systems such as laser or IPL sources. It is easily adaptable to any IPL source and is a very good complement, especially for wavelengths where the laser cannot easily produce light, such as the yellow band.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) caused 17.9 million deaths worldwide in 2019. General CVD prevention should be developed whilst controlling health expenditure. The aim of the SPICES project was to assess the efficacy of a community support intervention for adults with intermediate CVD risk at 24 months, compared to repeated brief advice alone. A randomised, controlled study was conducted in a poor, medically underserved, rural area in France from November 2019 to November 2021. Community champions lead small group sessions. They were specifically trained in behavioural change techniques and CVD prevention. Participants chose their own small, feasible cardiovascular health goals. The primary outcome was the difference in the Non-laboratory Interheart risk score (INL) in intention-to-treat at 24 months. Quality of life was assessed using the WHOQOL-BREF, diet using the DASH-questionnaire, physical activity using the IPAQ-short. Changes in BMI, smoking level, and self-declared alcohol consumption were recorded as health goals in the intervention group.1309 participants were eligible. 536 people were analysed. At 24 months, the difference Intervention–Control = -0.12 INL (95% CI -0.80 to 1.04) was not significant (p = 0.76). 257 people remained in the study. Most participants chose weight-loss as their objective. Although this study was impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, pertinent observations were made. Participants spontaneously chose to lose weight, which was not an effective goal. The study was neglected by participants which suggests this population felt little concerned about CVD-prevention. Other awareness strategies should be developed. Public policies should be developed as individuals currently fail to improve their health.

Published: December 2024

O ponto de enfoque nesta pesquisa diz respeito à compreensão da necessidade de um olhar para a sensibilidade humana na ação pedagógica da EFE, entendendo-a como um elemento constituinte da mesma. Contudo, há de se salientar que, diferente de alguns documentos de cunho tradicional ou neoliberal, estamos pautados em uma percepção crítica e com desejo de transformação social e emancipação dos sujeitos. Assim, o objetivo do estudo foi analisar a percepção de docentes de EFE acerca da função pedagógica da sensibilidade em suas aulas e quais os desdobramentos dessa postura na construção de uma EFE crítica. Optou-se por uma pesquisa qualitativa, investigando o fenômeno a partir de uma abordagem relacional, dialógica e colaborativa. Os sujeitos que colaboraram no estudo são estudantes do Mestrado Profissional em Educação Física em Rede Nacional (ProEF), que participaram de um Círculo Dialógico Investigativo-Formativo via Google Meet. Os resultados apontaram para três grandes categorias a saber: entrada no diálogo sobre a sensibilidade humana crítica nas aulas de Educação Física; solidificando a sensibilidade crítica como um elemento da ação pedagógica; diversificando a leitura da sensibilidade crítica na docência. A partir dos achados concluímos que, apesar de não ser considerada um elemento didático específico, existe uma valorização da sensibilidade crítica pelos docentes investigados apesar dos desafios surgidos a partir do embrutecimento no ambiente escolar por parte de outros agentes.
