Published: January 2025

Background
Although a lot of attention is paid to the flaws of balance training research in older adults, the low methodological quality and incomplete reporting of studies still limit the knowledge transfer between research and practice. These known shortcomings are considered also as barriers for creating recommendations for balance training in older adults. Despite the considerable efforts to improve the scientific quality of studies, such recommendations have not yet been formulated to date. Therefore, this scoping review aims (1) to analyze the literature that addresses balance training in older adults, (2) to identify and summarize gaps in the existing literature, and (3) to propose future research on this topic.

Methods
We focused on studies that evaluated the effect of balance training on balance control in apparently healthy older adults over 60 years of age.

Results
Out of 6910 potentially relevant studies, only 26 met the eligibility criteria. The identified shortcomings were as follows: missing a priori criteria for training session attendance and leisure-time physical activities, insufficiently described exercises and training load, and inappropriately chosen tests.

Conclusions
Among the shortcomings of the balance training research, the insufficiently described balance training program and inappropriately chosen tests can be considered the most important. For this reason, even with an excellently designed experiment, it is almost impossible for practitioners to apply the results of such studies into practice. Therefore, researchers should pay more attention to possible users of the acquired knowledge, which is more than desirable in the case of exercise programs for older adults.
Self /other recognition and distinction in adolescents with anorexia nervosa: A pilot study using a double mirror paradigm

Published: January 2025

Background
Abnormalities in body perception in patients affected by anorexia nervosa have been widely studied, but without explicit reference to their relationship to others and the social processes involved. Yet, there are a several arguments supporting impairments in interpersonal relationships in these patients. Notably, some evidence suggests that self/other distinction (SOD), the ability to distinguish one’s own body, actions and mental representations from those of others could be impaired. But research remains scarce in this area.

Material and methods
A single-centre, prospective pilot study was conducted to investigate, for the first time, self-recognition and SOD in seven adolescents with anorexia nervosa compared with matched healthy controls (HCs) using the "Alter Ego"TM double mirror paradigm. This innovative device allows the progressive morphing of one’s own face to that of another and vice versa between two subjects that interact on opposite sides of the device. Two judgement criteria were used: 1) M1: the threshold at which subjects start to recognize their own face during other-to-self morphing, and 2) M2: the threshold at which subjects start to recognize the other’s face during self-to-other morphing. In a second part, SOD was reassessed during five different sensorimotor tasks aimed at increasing body self-consciousness in participants with anorexia nervosa.

Results
The results showed that the participants with anorexia nervosa exhibited earlier self-recognition in the other-to-self sequence and delayed other-recognition in the self-to-other sequence. Furthermore, in contrast with that of HCs, the critical threshold for switching between self and other varied with the direction of morphing in anorexia nervosa participants. Finally, when participants with anorexia were seated in a chair with a backrest and footrest strengthening the median axis of their body, the self-recognition threshold (M1) increased significantly, approaching that of controls.

Conclusions
Although additional research is needed to replicate the results of this pilot study, it revealed the first behavioural evidence of altered SOD in individuals affected by anorexia nervosa through an embodied, semiecological face-recognition paradigm. The relationships between anomalies in body perception and alterations in interpersonal relationships are discussed within an integrative framework from phenomenology to neuroscience, and new research and therapeutic perspectives are presented.

Published: January 2025

Introduction
Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis are two prevalent conditions in the older population and are defined by low strength, muscle quality/volume and low Bone Mineral Density, respectively. When there is a concomitant presence of both, there is a novel musculoskeletal condition called Osteosarcopenia. These conditions adversely affect quality of life and elevate the risk of fractures, disability, and mortality among older individuals. Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota is the impairment of the mutualistic relationship between microorganisms, metabolic products and the host’s immune system. Gut microbiota dysbiosis could be intricately linked to sarcopenia and osteoporosis, shedding light on the complex microbiota-gut-bone-muscle axis. Furthermore, the intestinal microbiota experiences a notable decline in beneficial microorganisms as part of the aging process. The relationship between dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota in older people and sarcopenia, osteoporosis or osteosarcopenia is still unclear. This review protocol aims to systematically review the literature and compile evidence on the influence of gut microbiota dysbiosis on musculoskeletal function in older people with sarcopenia, osteoporosis or osteosarcopenia.

Methods/Analysis
This systematic review will analyze observational studies that have investigated the relationship between the effects of gut microbiota dysbiosis and sarcopenia, osteoporosis and osteosarcopenia in older people aged 65 and over. Studies will be retrieved from PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library. Outcome measures will include body composition for diagnosing osteoporosis and screening for sarcopenia/osteosarcopenia by any criteria. Data synthesis will involve quantitative analysis using summary measures. If sufficient studies, homogeneity and heterogeneity analysis will be performed to conduct Meta-analysis and pooled OR, RR and HR measures will be provided.

Published: January 2025

Background
The emergence of drug-resistant Tuberculosis (TB) has made treatment challenging. Although fluoroquinolones (FQs) are used as key drugs in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), the problem of FQs resistance is becoming increasingly serious. Rifampicin (RIF) resistance is considered a risk factor for FQs resistance. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of RIF and isoniazid (INH) resistance on the FQs resistance in vitro experiment.

Methods
FQs resistant strains were selected in vitro from RIF and/or INH resistant Mycobacterium smegmatis (M.sm). The sequencing of the gyrA gene, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of FQs (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin and gatifloxacin) were performed for FQs-resistant strains.

Results
A total of 222 FQs-resistant M.sm strains were selected, all of which had the gyrA mutation. Seven gyrA mutations were detected, with mutations at loci 90 and 94 being the most common. There were no differences in FQs resistance developed from RIF and/or INH resistant M.sm. There was a significant difference in the MIC of the gyrA mutant types to FQs. The highest resistance to FQs was observed in the Gly88Cys mutant strains. M.sm with the identical gyrA mutation showed the highest resistance to ciprofloxacin and relatively low resistance to gatifloxacin and moxifloxacin.

Conclusions
In this study, we found no evidence that RIF and/or INH resistance directly affects FQs resistance in M.sm in vitro experiments. Resistance profiles of different gryA mutations to the four FQs drugs were also presented. These findings provide a more comprehensive understanding of FQs resistance.

Published: January 2025

Purpose
College students are at higher risk for problematic substance use and disordered eating. Few studies have examined the comorbid risks associated with OCD despite the increased prevalence of OCD among young adults. This study examined substance use and disordered eating risk associated with OCD conditions among college students and how this association may vary by sex/gender.

Methods
Data were from 92,757 undergraduate students aged 18–24 enrolled in 216 colleges between Fall 2021 and Fall 2022, from the American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment III. Regression models were used to estimate alcohol, cannabis, tobacco, and disordered eating risk among those with OCD related conditions compared to those without conditions, overall and by sex/gender, while adjusting for covariates and school clustering.

Results
Students with OCD conditions displayed a higher prevalence of substance use and disordered eating risks. In adjusted models, OCD conditions were associated with increased odds of moderate/high tobacco (aOR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.05, 1.21), cannabis (aOR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.04, 1.18), alcohol (aOR = 1.14, 95% CI 1.05, 1.24) and disordered eating risk (aOR = 2.28, 95% CI 2.13, 2.43). Analyses stratified by gender revealed cis-female students with OCD conditions were at increased risk for moderate/high risk alcohol (aOR = 1.18, 95% CI 1.08, 1.29), tobacco (aOR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.03, 1.22), cannabis (aOR = 1.13, 95% CI 1.06, 1.23) and disordered eating (aOR = 2.30, 9%% CI 2.14, 2.47). Among TGNC students, OCD conditions were associated with increased risk for moderate/high tobacco risk (aOR = 1.24, 95% CI 1.05, 1.48) and disordered eating (aOR = 2.14, 95% CI 1.85, 2.47). OCD conditions was only associated with disordered eating among male students (aOR = 2.34, 95% CI 1.93, 2.83).

Discussion
Young adult college students with OCD conditions exhibit a higher prevalence of medium/high risk alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis use and disordered eating compared to their counterparts without such conditions, even after adjusting for stress, depression, and anxiety.
“MoSpec”: A customized and integrated system for model development, verification and validation
Authors: Pompa Marcello , Panunzi Simona , Borri Alessandro , D’Orsi Laura , De Gaetano Andrea 
Published: January 2025

Background and objective
The growing availability of patient data from several clinical settings, fueled by advanced analysis systems and new diagnostics, presents a unique opportunity. These data can be used to understand disease progression and predict future outcomes. However, analysing this vast amount of data requires collaboration between physicians and experts from diverse fields like mathematics and engineering.

Methods
Mathematical models play a crucial role in interpreting patient data and enable in-silico simulations for diagnosis and treatment. To facilitate the creation and sharing of such models, the CNR-IASI BioMatLab group developed the “Gemini” (MoSpec/Autocoder) system, a framework allowing researchers with basic mathematical knowledge to quickly and correctly translate biological problems into Ordinary Differential Equations models. The system facilitates the development and computation of mathematical models for the interpretation of medical and biological phenomena, also using data from the clinical setting or laboratory experiments for parameter estimation.

Results
Gemini automatically generates code in multiple languages (C++, Matlab, R, and Julia) and automatically creates documentation, including code, figures, and visualizations.

Conclusions
This user-friendly approach promotes model sharing and collaboration among researchers, besides vastly increasing group productivity.

Je „Velký obrat ke krajině" skutečně ekologický?
Authors: Hájek Tomáš 
Published: January 2025

We have to take into account, that the BIG TURN TO THE LANDSCPE is the turn to the sustainability, namely the ecological sustainability. The apparent sense to maintain the values of the cultural values stems from the dynamics of spatial relationship between the city and the countryside. We cannot solve the number of relative separated ecological problems (the support of natural agriculture, the support of renewable energy, the sustainability of transportation) without keeping the countryside inhabited, economically alive, ecologically sound as the real background of the city. The ideological stress on the preservation of the values of the cultural landscape is the way, how to make the ecological attitude to renewable energy and natural agriculture convincing. Despite the logical clarity of emphasis on the cultural landscape, there is no unity among the environmentalists with respect to cultural landscape as the ecological topic of highest importance. Some ecologists are afraid, that the apology of the preservation of traditional image of cultural landscape could mouth to the apology of destruction of the rest of wilderness, that is hidden around us within the cultural landscape as well as it could give rise to the new obstacles towards penetrating the spots of wilderness to the cultural landscape. Is that any chance to overcome this - mostly ideological - debate? The emphasis on preservation of cultural landscape does not exlude - for instance - recovery of original nets of biotic systems inside the country. But it is evident, that the intention to regard the old traditional cultural landscape as the only image of cultural lancscape itself worth of protection is the bad way. We have to protect the cultural landscape as the urbanistic space, despite its next look will differ necessarily from its previous shape.
Klimatická gramotnost – nová nebo odvozená gramotnost?
Authors: Scholzová Veronika , Janoušková Svatava 
Published: January 2025

Slovo gramotnost ve spojení s řadou adjektiv v pedagogickém i laickém slovníku zevšednělo. Díky šetření PISA běžně využíváme termíny matematická, čtenářská, přírodovědná a finanční gramotnost. Počet těchto termínů dále narůstá (viz např. environmentální, digitální gramotnost). U většiny z nich přitom chybí konsenzus na přesném vymezení. V našem teoretickém příspěvku analyzujeme koncepty přírodovědné, environmentální a klimatické gramotnosti. Na základě této analýzy docházíme k závěru, že stávající vymezení klimatické gramotnosti nepřináší žádnou novou dimenzi, která by nebyla již zahrnuta v přírodovědné a environmentální gramotnosti. S ohledem na tuto skutečnost se domníváme, že pro školní praxi a do jisté míry i pro výzkum je vymezení tohoto pojmu nadbytečné. Domníváme se, že dobrá znalost dlouhodobě existující gramotnosti přírodovědné a environmentální umožní vyučujícím uchopit i odvozené gramotnosti, mezi nimi gramotnost klimatickou či gramotnost související s udržitelností.

Authors: Behairy Sabreen Mohammed , Al-Maaqar Saleh Mohammed , Al-Shaeri Majed Ahmed 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) has a prevalence rate of 21.8% among Saudi women and ranks as the third leading cause of death in Western nations. Nanotechnology offers innovative methods for targeted BC therapy, and this study explores the use of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) for delivering the senna leaf extract. The study evaluated the effects of increasing dosages of senna leaf extract conjugated to SWCNTs on MCF-7 cells. Cell viability was assessed using the MTT assay, while Giemsa staining revealed morphological changes. Additionally, the comet assay and agarose gel electrophoresis were employed to evaluate the pro-apoptotic potential. The potential of mitochondrial membrane and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were investigated using the JC-1 dye. The results indicated that treated cells exhibited apoptotic characteristics, including elevated ROS levels and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential. In summary, the application of nanotechnology to deliver the senna leaf extract shows promise as a herbal treatment for BC, suggesting a potential breakthrough in combating this widespread and deadly disease.
“A Simple-minded Boy and His Touched Wife”: Images of Madness in Pu Songling’s “Xiao-cui”
Authors: Ge Longlong 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
“Xiao-cui” (小翠), a short story in Pu Songling’s Liaozhai Zhiyi (聊齋誌異), which tells the story of a fox spirit Xiao-cui, who marries Wang Yuan-feng, the foolish son of her mother’s benefactor, and solves a series of problems for the Wang family. In the text, Yuan-feng and Xiao-cui are referred to as the simple-minded boy and the crazy girl respectively. In exploring the manifestations, causes, and treatments of Xiao-cui’s and Yuan-feng’s madness, this paper nonetheless argues that their madness is not a psychiatric illness, but rather is constructed by culture and society,” for Yuan-feng’s insanity is manifested in his ignorance of sex and gender, and Xiao-cui’s madness is manifested in her extraordinary words and deeds that do not conform to Confucian rituals. Applying close reading and transcultural research method and drawing on Michel Foucault’s knowledge of madness as well as Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar’s idea of the “madwoman,” this paper emphasizes that madness is the response to the oppressive structures of Chinese feudal society’s patriarchal and monarchical systems. And the treatment for such madness is not confinement but rather an escape from oppressive environments.

Abstract
Software defined networking (SDN) is a communications methodology that centralizes network management and programmability resulting in more flexible network administration. This project aims to configure and simulate a software-defined network to implement customized, dynamically-assigned flow control rules between network nodes – replacing static routes. We consider virtual network embedding (VNE) in development of network routing algorithms. Through this project, we seek to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of SDN-based network control for diverse systems, enhancing adaptability and efficiency in managing communication between diverse network nodes. The proposed work is crucial for advancing adaptive, efficient, and scalable communication systems, enabling dynamic resource management, enhanced interoperability, and supporting next-generation technologies like six generation (6G) and IoT seamlessly.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Grating under auto-collimation configuration with polarization-independent high diffraction efficiency plays an important role in the displacement measurement system, spectral beam combining system and so on. In this paper, we proposed, for the first time, a reflective two-dimensional metal-dielectric grating of which the (−1, −1) order beam is diffracted back along the input light direction, when the incident azimuth angle is 45°. With optimized structure, the (−1, −1) order diffraction efficiencies of transverse electric polarization (TE) and transverse magnetic polarization (TM) are 95.01 % and 95.04 % at incident wavelength of 632 nm, respectively. The structure based on the frustum of a cone performs well in manufacturing tolerance, which provides possibility for practical applications. A grating is fabricated experimentally in this research. The high efficiencies of TE and TM polarization have great application potential in 2D displacement measurement technique and high power laser systems.
