Published: November 2024

Eliseo Palacios Aguilera (1896–1944), fue un profesor normalista con un enorme interés por el estudio de la flora, fauna y fósiles del estado de Chiapas, México. Fue el director fundador del primer museo de historia natural y del primer zoológico en Chiapas en el año de 1942, semilla de lo que actualmente es la Secretaría de Medio Ambiente e Historia Natural. Entre sus principales contribuciones se cuentan los primeros estudios formales con restos de megafauna pleistocénica provenientes de los municipios de Villaflores y Villa Corzo, además de colaborar en 1943 y 1944 con el geólogo Dr. Federico K. Müllerried en la recolecta y estudio de los fósiles de bivalvos rudistas de la región central de Chiapas. A pesar de tan amplia labor en el estudio de la Historia Natural de Chiapas, el Prof. Eliseo Palacios ha sido poco reconocido por sus logros, ya que poca gente conoce su trayectoria personal, académica y profesional.

Authors: Hernández Cisneros Atzcalli Ehécatl , Nava Sánchez Enrique Hiparco 
Published: November 2024

Los eomisticetidos son un taxón basal extinto de las ballenas barbadas (Mysticeti: Chaeomysticeti -“ballenas verdaderas”), los cuales aparecieron durante el Oligoceno y reflejan una etapa de transición entre el origen de las barbas y la pérdida de dientes, rasgo que caracteriza a las ballenas actuales. Los eomisticetidos son considerados un linaje diverso y ampliamente distribuido con un rico registro en la región de Australasia (Australia y Nueva Zelanda). Varios aspectos de su paleobiología como el crecimiento ontogenético y ecología alimenticia han sido discutidos; sin embargo, elementos relacionados con su biogeografía e inherente especiación (origen y extinción) sólo han sido brevemente revisados. En este contexto, el presente estudio aborda aspectos biogeográficos a partir de un nuevo fósil del Pacifico Norte oriental perteneciente a los registros de la Formación El Cien de Baja California Sur, México. Nuestra descripción y análisis filogenético clasifica a este nuevo ejemplar de eomisticetido dentro del género Eomysticetus (cf. Eomysticetus sp.). Asimismo, identificamos la relación biogeográfica entre el Pacífico Norte (este) y el Atlántico Norte (oeste), lo que indica un posible intercambio de sus faunas de cetáceos durante el Oligoceno. Además, la presencia del arco terrestre de Gaarlandia durante el Oligoceno indica eventos de vicarianza, que probablemente condujeron a la especiación alopátrica dentro de Eomysticetidae en el Hemisferio Norte. Por último, el registro fósil de cetáceos de edad Oligoceno presente en Baja California Sur, único en México, podría aclarar varios aspectos acerca de la paleobiología de los eomisticetidos considerando los varios especímenes sin nominar en las colecciones locales.

The species extinction rate has recently accelerated worldwide and is a thousand times higher than through natural processes alone. Small, isolated populations are especially vulnerable to extinction due to deterministic and stochastic threats. Hence, the conservation of such populations is challenging. The present study from 2015 to 2021 aimed to understand the population, nesting characteristics, and breeding ecology of the country’s southernmost population of Gyps indicus in Mudumalai Tiger Reserve, South India. The population estimation was performed on the roosting and nesting sites of Gyps indicus in the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve. To study the nesting characteristics and breeding ecology, each nesting colony was systematically visited four times per month during the breeding season (October to May). Assessments of threats were estimated during the field visits. In 2015–2021, four breeding sites were identified. Two nesting sites were identified in 2016 and two more in 2017 and 2020. The mean altitude of the nesting sites was 1122.25 ± 170.06 m a.s.l., ranging from 821 m a.s.l. to 1600 m a.s.l. In the Protected Area, two nests were located on east-facing exposure, one nest on southeast-facing exposure, and one nest on south-facing exposure. In terms of population composition, the mean number of adult individuals steadily increased from 9.5 ± 0.46 in 2016 to 14.08 ± 0.67 in 2021. Consequently, the mean total number of individuals per colony increased from 13.66 ± 0.56 in 2016 to 27.83 ± 0.62 in 2021. A total of 40 (in average, 6.66 ± 0.49 pairs/year) territorial pairs with occupied nests were observed in 2015–2021. Of them, 31 (in average, 5.16 ± 0.30 pairs/year) breeding pairs had laid eggs. Successful incubation was recorded, and the mean incubation period was 63.64 ± 1.74 days. Out of 31 incubated nests, 23 fledglings (3.83 ± 0.47 individuals/year) successfully came out with 74% breeding success. The entire nesting period was 128.43 ± 1.16 days. In total, out of 17 failed breeding attempts nine (53%) were detected before egg laying, and eight (47%) were found during incubation. There were no significant differences between nests abandoned before and after egg laying (t = 0.4152, p > 0.05). During the breeding seasons of 2015–2017, a human-made forest fire posed a serious threat to nesting colonies of Gyps indicus, resulting in no observed nesting. A species-specific conservation-oriented action programme is necessary to secure this last southernmost wild viable Gyps indicus population in the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve. At this juncture, we highly recommend declaring the buffer zone of the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve as a «Vulture Sanctuary» to provide a legal protection of the Gyps indicus population living in the studied area.

Authors: Krasnova Diana , Grinavica Maria 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Mentions of “radical Islam” can be heard weekly, if not daily, on various media platforms. The “umbrella” term “radical Islam” is often used to describe extremist interpretations of Islam that involve violence and terrorism, therefore the term by itself encompasses several concepts, which lack clear definitions not only in academia, but also international legal system. The research question is: “What concepts constitute “Radical Islam” and whether their terminology corresponds to Islamic teachings”. Aim of this paper is to compare proposed terminologies of different authors, to propose a more unified terminological framework while analyzing the term “radical Islam” itself. Methods included but were not limited to literature analysis, document analysis, context and content analysis. The obtained results include terminology comparative analysis, and a new terminology framework proposed by the authors which contributes to the originality of the research.

Authors: Resmi A G , Popovs Aleksandrs 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Electronic waste (e-waste), encompassing discarded electrical and electronic devices, demands effective reverse logistics management to ensure optimal resource use and environmental preservation. Despite growing interest in Big Data Analytics within the scientific community, its slow practical implementation in e-waste management and the absence of validated measurement models hinder both industry adoption and empirical studies. To address these challenges and drawing upon the Resource-Capability-Advantage (RCA) theory, this study aims to investigate the interplay between Big Data Analytics (BDA) management capabilities, BDA talent capabilities, Reverse Logistics (RL) innovation, and sustainable RL performance. A conceptual model was tested using primary data from practitioners and managers in India’s e-waste reverse logistics network, with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) as the primary analytical method. The results highlight the multifaceted contributions of Big Data Analytics Management and Talent Capabilities to Reverse Logistics Innovation and Sustainable Reverse Logistics Performance.

In the modern business world, organizations strive for competitive advantage. This study examines the impact of knowledge acquisition, knowledge creation, knowledge capture and storage, knowledge sharing, and knowledge application on employee performance in Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) companies in Sri Lanka. The study adopted a quantitative approach, employing a structured online questionnaire distributed amongst the KPO industry employees. The data is analyzed using statistical methods such as correlation and multiple regression. According to the findings, knowledge management has a significant impact on employee performance in KPO companies in Sri Lanka. This result indicates a significant relationship between the selected knowledge management components - acquisition, creation, capture and storage, sharing, application and employee performance. However, challenges such as a lack of comprehensive knowledge management strategies, limited employee engagement, and cultural barriers are identified. The findings prove the need for KPO organizations in Sri Lanka to prioritize knowledge management strategies. The study contributes to the literature on knowledge management in the KPO industry.
Knocking Down the Pillars of Democracy in Europe: Politicisation of Science and Law in Response During COVID-19
Authors: Simons Gregory John 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The European Parliament has stressed on numerous occasions in public documents and speeches its non-conditional support for the principles of democracy, the rule of law, good governance, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. Yet as the pandemic has developed these principles have not been defended by various member states of the EU, being traded for public health and public good. This presentation seeks to critically analyse the content of key rhetoric and narratives from the outbreak of the pandemic until the present time through public statements that shall be contrasted against the “unconditional principles” above within the theoretical frame of Situational Crisis Communication Theory. Attention shall be paid to key political officials and understand the role of mainstream mass media and social media as gatekeepers of the orthodoxy of knowledge established. Orthodoxy of knowledge is group consensus on defining and constructing ‘realities’ in the physical realm, even when the consensus is coerced. Given the increasing lack of scientific debate, which is a fundamental element of good scientific practice, and the use of heavy handed and largely unsuccessful responses to the virus (such as lockdowns, vax passports and vaccination campaigns), Europe (not only) is in a precarious position in terms of its societal principles and practice. Crisis management is expediently rushed through face of fear and time constraint based upon a lack of consideration for the consequences and long-term effects, some of which are already emerging but being silenced. Hence a creeping crisis of significant psychological and physical impact is in the making.
The Resilient Agility of Brand Voice in Volatile Environments
Authors: Surikova Jūlija 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In an era marked by rapid change, the role of brand voice within brand communication has become increasingly vital to protecting brand identity, moving beyond traditional marketing approaches. This research introduces the concept of “resilient agility” of brand voice and examines it in a variety of uncertain contexts. Aiming to investigate the potential influence of volatile environments on brand voice within the context of brand communication, the author based her research on the examination of various case studies and as a result introduced two new models of projecting brand identity through brand communication, including one tailored for volatile environments. The author identifies the resilient agility of brand voice in projecting the essence of brand identity, consistency in core messaging, and transparency in addressing issues as key success factors for brand communication. This research enhances the understanding of the projection model of brand identity through brand communication, especially in volatile environments, offering valuable insights for marketers aiming to maintain brand integrity and develop lasting customer relationships amidst uncertainty.
Role of kiwifruit in the inhibition of carcinogenesis: Proof-of-concept from cell culture studies and xenografted mice
Authors: Romero Mirna Azalea , Fayyaz Sundas , Tariq Mahrukh , Attar Rukset , Farooqi Ammad Ahmad 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Kiwifruit initially gained the limelight because of its remarkable health benefits. Still, its mechanistic involvement in the chemoprevention of carcinogenesis and metastasis has enabled researchers to evaluate anticancer and anti-metastatic effects in cell culture studies and xenografted mice. Interdisciplinary researchers have witnessed groundbreaking discoveries related to the pharmacological targeting of oncogenic proteins by kiwifruit in xenografted mice. Therefore, kiwifruit extracts, bioactive molecules, and nanovesicles have been investigated in different cancers. Although its importance was previously unrecognized, kiwifruit-derived nanovesicles are expected to showcase an increasingly prominent role in the chemoprevention of cancer as strategically preferable delivery vehicles. Accumulating evidence has started unraveling pleiotropic regulation of protein networks and biochemical modifications by kiwifruit in various cancers. Ubiquitination, autophagy, and mitophagy are some of the critical pathways reported to be regulated by kiwifruit extracts and bioactive chemicals. Nevertheless, realistically, this is the beginning of a new era in the context of mechanistic regulation of a myriad of cell signaling cascades in the prevention of carcinogenesis and metastasis.
Cardiotoxicity in Oncology: Prevention and Management Through Cardiovascular Rehabilitation

Published: November 2024

Abstract
With advancements in screening, diagnosis, and treatment, cancer-related mortality is declining, and life expectancy for cancer patients is increasing by up to 30%. However, these patients often face increased cardiovascular risks due to hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes, as well as the cardiotoxic effects of cancer therapies. Chemotherapy drugs like anthracyclines, trastuzumab, and 5-fluorouracil can hurt the heart through oxidative stress, apoptosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction. This can cause heart failure, coronary heart disease, and arrhythmias, among other problems. Cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) has emerged as a key strategy to mitigate these effects. Studies involving breast cancer patients and other cancer populations have demonstrated that CR programs, involving high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity exercises, improve cardiorespiratory fitness and reduce cardiovascular risks in cancer patients. Despite challenges such as patient reluctance due to distance from specialized centers, telerehabilitation has proven to be a viable alternative. CR not only improves peak VO2 but also reduces systemic inflammation and promotes muscle mass gain while lowering mortality and healthcare costs associated with post-cancer therapy complications. Multidisciplinary involvement-integrating cardiologists, oncologists, psychologists, and nutritionists-enhances outcomes, improving both cardiac fitness and quality of life for cancer patients. Further research highlights the need for early intervention and customized CR programs to minimize cardiovascular toxicity and optimize patient recovery post-chemotherapy.
The efficacy and safety of aerosol therapy in rhinology
Authors: Enache Raluca , Sarafoleanu Codrut , Vicheva Dilyana 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Aerosol drug administration has a long history as an important part of the treatment for different respiratory disorders in both adult and paediatric patients. The nebulization process permits the drug delivery directly to the upper and lower airways tracts, allowing increased local effectiveness, and avoids systemic side effects. The aerosol therapy is mainly used in pneumology for lower respiratory tract disorders, a series of drugs having a proven efficacy. Few publications present the efficacy and safety of ENT nebulization, despite its worldwide utilization.
Topical drug delivery to the nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses via aerosols appears to be an interesting, but also a challenging alternative. The transport and deposition of drugs and aerosol particles into the sinuses is debatable due to several factors: sinuses are poorly perfused and virtually non-ventilated cavities; they are protected by the efficient particle filtration function of the nasal cavities. The review evaluates the efficacy and safety of aerosol therapy in rhinologic pathology.
Dysphonia in children
Authors: Milea Andreea , Milea Alex , Sarafoleanu Codrut 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Dysphonia is a frequent symptom in paediatric patients and it has a prevalence between 6 - 24%. In young patients, dysphonia has a direct importance because it impairs their communicative behaviour, their psychological status and also their social life.
The most diagnosed voice pathologies in children are vocal nodules followed by vocal cord cysts, infectious and inflammatory causes, sulcus vocalis, laryngeal membranes, iatrogenic vocal cord paralysis, neurological causes, psychogenic factors, traumatic or irritative factors or, less commonly, laryngeal neoplasms.
A correct diagnosis of dysphonia in paediatric patients is important for learning, voice training and their psychological development. Children with dysphonia have to be assessed with adequate equipment. It is recommended to use tools that are appropriate to the tolerance and cooperation of the patients and allow to have a good visualization of the vocal folds. Suitable preventive methods, early diagnosis, appropriate treatment of voice disorders should be taken into consideration in these cases.
In this article, some of the most frequent causes of dysphonia in paediatric patients and their treatment options in order to achieve a proper voice are reviewed.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE. It is aimed to reveal the frequency of histopathological diagnosis in ENT diseases during the COVID-19 period and whether it is different from diagnoses in other periods.

MATERIAL AND METHODS. The files of 1442 patients diagnosed with pathological material in the ENT clinic between 2017 and 2022 were retrospectively scanned. Two groups were created: the 1st group of patients between 2017-2019 (non-COVID-19 period) (Group 1) and the 2nd group of patients between 2020-2022 (COVID-19 period) (Group 2).

RESULTS. Pathological samples were sent from 1163 patients in Group 1 and from 279 patients in Group 2. Of 1442 patients, 815 were male and 627 were female, and the mean age was 25 (3-94 years). There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of age (p=0.001). There was no significant difference in terms of gender (p=0.756). The most common histopathological diagnoses in both periods were chronic tonsillitis lymphoid hyperplasia (bilateral tonsillectomy + adenoidectomy) (19.5%), chronic inflammation lymphoid hyperplasia (adenoidectomy) (19.3%) and nasal polyp (19.2%). The incidence of malignant tumors was found to be 1.4% in Group 1 and 2.8% in Group 2. The incidence of benign tumors was found to be 7.6% in Group 1 and 12.8% in Group 2. In terms of frequency, the ratio of malignant and benign tumors was higher in Group 2.

CONCLUSION. The number of patients with histopathological diagnoses decreased due to the decrease in hospitalizations during the COVID-19 period. Delayed diagnosis in malignant pathologies significantly worsens the prognosis. All these results show that new cancer diagnostic strategies are needed for epidemic diseases such as COVID-19.
