Evidencia empírica del DISC en futuros líderes iberoamericanos: una aportación de William Moulton Marston a la función directiva
Authors: Gómez Pedro Luis , Barquero José Daniel , Pestana José Vicente 
Published: October 2024

Al analizar la función directiva característica de líderes mediante el test DISC —derivado del trabajo pionero de W. M. Marston—, se describen cuatro perfiles basados en los ejes Introversión-Extroversión y Racional-Emocional: Dominante, Influyente, Estable y Cumplidor). Al ser un test tan ampliamente utilizado como escasas sus contribuciones empíricas, se llevó a cabo una investigación no experimental del tipo asociativa y transversal de la estructura predominante de los perfiles DISC (primario y de apoyo), atendiendo a las diferencias según el sexo y el país. Conformaron la muestra intencional estudiada 198 asistentes a una formación universitaria para personal directivo, ejecutivo de línea y de alta dirección (142 hombres y 56 mujeres, con edades entre 25 y 50 años —M = 36,98; DT = 7,14), quienes cumplimentaron la variante del DISC conocida como APP Thomas. Los resultados obtenidos, consistentes en su mayor parte con hallazgos precedentes en otros contextos vinculados al liderazgo, destacan el estilo Influyente como predominante, que en el 48,1% de los casos se apoya en el perfil Dominante (χ2 = 141,98; p < ,000); se observa, además, un perfil Cumplidor en las mujeres que, en el 87,5% de los casos, se apoya en el perfil Estable (χ2 = 72,42; p < ,000). Estos datos evidencian la vigencia y utilidad del DISC al analizar los estilos de liderazgo, mostrando la estructura básica de los estilos Influyente y Dominante (al considerar los factores de apoyo) en la función directiva, inherente al liderazgo organizacional.
Unlocking multidimensional optical multicasting based on multi-mode PIN silicon waveguides

Published: October 2024

Multidimensional optical multicasting can increase the number of multicast optical channels and enhance spectrum utilization, which is crucial for future high-capacity optical networks and high-performance optical computing. However, simultaneously multicasting more channels results in higher energy density, which increases nonlinear loss within the waveguide and hinders practical applications. In this study, we introduce a reverse-biased PIN junction in the multi-mode waveguide to reduce nonlinear loss. Leveraging the multi-mode PIN silicon waveguide, we experimentally demonstrate a multidimensional multicasting strategy to simultaneously multicast an 80 Gb/s QPSK signal across 14 channels in both modes and wavelengths. Due to the PIN waveguide, the output power of the converted light after four-wave mixing (FWM) in three modes, TE0, TE1, and TE2, can be increased by 13 dB, 11.7 dB, and 7.7 dB, respectively. Furthermore, the 80 Gb/s QPSK signal can be multicast in three modes and from one wavelength channel to nine, seven, and two wavelength channels, respectively. All channels demonstrate clear constellation diagrams and error-free performance (biterrorrate<3.8×10−3). This demonstration provides a viable solution for multicasting in future mode and wavelength hybrid multiplexing optical networks, while also enhancing the capabilities of high-speed optical computing.

ABSTRACT
Alterations in the gut microbiome have been implicated in various pathologies. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been offered as a novel treatment for conditions implicated in the disruption of the gut-microbiota axis. This case report details the successful treatment of recurrent nonobstructive cholangitis following a single FMT application in a patient who had previously undergone a hepatobiliary tract surgical diversion. Cholangitis was suspected secondary to reflux of an altered microbiome into the surgically reanastomosed biliary tract, and FMT was justified based on the history of recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections. This case supports the further evaluation of the utility of FMT as one potential treatment of post hepatobiliary surgical diversion cholangitis.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
Syphilis, a disease affecting millions, still poses challenges for men who have sex with men in high-income countries and often presents in varying ways. It is exceedingly rare for syphilis to simultaneously cause an acute liver injury and nephropathy. This case describes the concomitant clinical presentation of these abnormalities and also describes a liver injury that mimicked cholestatic disease. Treatment of syphilis led to complete resolution of the liver and kidney injury. This case demonstrates a need to exclude syphilis in patients with high-risk behaviors who present with cholestatic liver injury in atypical fashions.

Abstract

Objectives
Iron deficiency anemia is a significant global health concern, diagnosed by measuring hemoglobin concentrations in combination with plasma ferritin concentration. This study investigated the variability in ferritin reference intervals among laboratories in the Netherlands and examined how this affects the identification of iron-related disorders.

Methods
Ferritin reference intervals from 52 Dutch ISO15189-certified medical laboratories were collected. Ferritin, hemoglobin and mean corpuscular volume data of non-anemic apparently healthy primary care patients, measured by four laboratory platforms (Beckman, Abbott, Siemens, and Roche), were collected (n=397,548). Median ferritin levels were determined per platform, stratified by sex and age. The proportion of ferritin measurements outside of the reference interval was calculated using the reference intervals from the 52 laboratories (using a total of n=1,093,442 ferritin measurements). Lastly, ferritin data from 3,699 patients as captured in general practitioner (GP) data from the PHARMO Data Network were used to assess the variation of abnormal ferritin measurements per GP.

Results
Median plasma ferritin concentrations were approximately four times higher in men and twice as high in postmenopausal women compared to premenopausal women. Moreover, there are substantial differences in the median plasma ferritin concentration between the four platforms. However, even among laboratories using the same platform, ferritin reference intervals differ widely. This leads to significant differences in the percentages of measurements classified as abnormal, with the percentage of ferritin measurements below the reference limit in premenopausal women ranging from 11 to 53 %, in postmenopausal women from 3 to 37 %, and in men from 2 to 19 %. The percentage of ferritin measurements above the reference limit in premenopausal women ranged from 0.2 to 11 %, in postmenopausal women from 3 to 36 % and in men from 7 to 32 %.

Conclusions
The lack of harmonization in ferritin measurement and the disagreement in plasma ferritin reference intervals significantly impact the interpretation of the iron status of patients and thereby the number of iron disorder diagnoses made. Standardization or harmonization of the ferritin assays and establishing uniform reference intervals and medical decision limits are essential to reduce the substantial variability in clinical interpretations of ferritin results.
Noncompact self-shrinkers for mean curvature flow with arbitrary genus
Authors: Buzano Reto , Nguyen Huy The , Schulz Mario B. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In his lecture notes on mean curvature flow, Ilmanen conjectured the existence of noncompact self-shrinkers with arbitrary genus.
Here, we employ min-max techniques to give a rigorous existence proof for these surfaces.
Conjecturally, the self-shrinkers that we obtain have precisely one (asymptotically conical) end.
We confirm this for large genus via a precise analysis of the limiting object of sequences of such self-shrinkers for which the genus tends to infinity.
Finally, we provide numerical evidence for a further family of noncompact self-shrinkers with odd genus and two asymptotically conical ends.
Surveying ecolinguistics
Authors: Steffensen Sune Vork 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive and detailed survey of ecolinguistics, defined as an enterprise oriented to how language plays a role in the interactions between human beings, other species, and the natural environment. Since the early 1990s, ecolinguistics has been driven by a concern for life on Earth and as such it comprises the linguistic study of the current ecological crisis. Through a detailed close reading of the literature, in combination with the bibliometric tool of VOSviewer, it surveys eleven subfields of contemporary ecolinguistics. The eleven surveyed subfields of ecolinguistics are: discourse-oriented ecolinguistics, corpus-assisted ecolinguistics, ecostylistics, narratological ecolinguistics, identity-oriented ecolinguistics, ethno-lexical ecolinguistics, ecological discourse analysis, harmonious discourse analysis, cognitive ecolinguistics, educational ecolinguistics, and decolonial/transdisciplinary ecolinguistics. In the conclusion, the article discusses two challenges that face contemporary ecolinguistics: the repetition of certain tropes and narratives about the field, even in the absence of empirical evidence, and the lack of internal debate and critique.
Narratives about epistemic trespassing
Authors: Bristol Rachel , Alhaqab Samar , Rossano Federico 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This paper identifies a previously undescribed genre of narrative about instances where an absent third party trespasses into the epistemic territory of the speaker by disregarding the speaker’s expertise in a knowledge domain tied to the speaker’s identity. These narratives occurred in unstructured interaction between close friends. We extracted a collection of exchanges from a corpus of sixty audio/video recording of conversations elicited in a university setting and analyzed them using methods from Conversation Analysis. In such narratives, speakers vilify the absent third party, make extensive use of direct reported speech, and explain why they are the true authority on the subject in question. They often speak directly to the absent party, sanctioning their behavior. Listeners respond to these narratives by displaying shock at reports of the third party’s statements and amusement at re-enactments of the speaker’s retorts. Listeners also assist in the narratives, often participating in scolding and denigrating the trespasser. We argue that these narratives act to recruit listener assistance in an after-the-fact sanctioning of the trespassing third party and validation of the speaker’s knowledge and related identity.
Analisis Konkordan Kombinasi Kata Kerja Bahasa Arab dan Kata Sendi dalam Akhbar Mesir Al-Ahram
Authors: Abdul Razak Zainur Rijal , Mohamed Yuslina 
Published: October 2024

Penggunaan sesuatu kata kerja bersama kata sendi tertentu merupakan amalan biasa di dalam pembinaan ayat bahasa Arab. Lazimnya, penggunaan sesuatu kata kerja bersama kata sendi yang berbeza akan membawa maksud berbeza. Namun, didapati berlakunya dalam bahasa Arab moden variasi penggunaan kata sendi bersama sesuatu kata kerja bagi membawa maksud yang sama atau hampir sama. Justeru, tujuan kertas kerja ini disediakan adalah untuk menganalisa dan mengenalpasti sejauh mana fenomena ini berlaku di dalam bahasa Arab moden. Bagi mencapai objektif ini sebanyak 77 teks berita dari akhbar al-Ahram dari negara Mesir telah dikumpul dalam bentuk digital merangkumi 20,605 perkataan dalam kategori berita tempatan, dunia, sukan dan ekonomi. Perisian komputer Wordsmith 8.0 telah digunakan untuk menganalisa semua perkataan-perkataan ini dan mengekstrak penggunaan sesuatu kata kerja bersama kata sendi menggunakan aplikasi Wordlist dan Concordance dalam perisian ini. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa berlakunya fenomena penggunaan sesuatu kata kerja dalam bahasa Arab moden bersama pelbagai kata sendi bagi menunjukkan maksud yang hampir sama. Walau bagaimanapun, secara umumnya, dari aspek kekerapan, penggunaan kata kerja bersama kata sendi yang menjadi kebiasaan tatabahasa Arab lebih kerap digunakan berbanding gaya penggunaan baru yang cuba diketengahkan oleh bahasa Arab moden melalui akhbar. Selain daripada itu, dapat juga disimpulkan bahawa akhbar Arab memainkan peranan yang amat penting dalam menyebarkan penggunaan gaya bahasa baharu kepada masyarakat Arab khususnya.
The use of a certain verb in association with specific preposition is a common practice in Arabic grammar. The use of a verb with different preposition usually conveys different meanings. However, it has been found that in modern Arabic, there is a variety of preposition-verb combinations that convey the same meaning. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyse and identify the extent to which this phenomenon occurs in modern Arabic. In order to achieve this objective, a total of 77 news texts from the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram were collected digitally, comprising of 20,605 words in the categories of local news, world news, sports and economy. The computer software Wordsmith 8.0 was used to analyse all of these words and extract the use of a verb with a preposition using the wordlist and concordance applications in this software. The study found that the phenomenon of using a verb in Arabic with various prepositions to indicate almost the same meaning is prevalent. However, overall, in terms of frequency, the use of verb-preposition combinations that are traditional in Arabic grammar is more commonly used than the new style promoted by modern Arabic through newspapers. Furthermore, it can also be concluded that Arab newspapers play a very important role in disseminating the use of new language style to the Arab community in particular.

sometimes momentarily, sometimes for years
Authors: Brook Anna 
Published: October 2024

The poem sometimes momentarily, sometimes for years, is part of a group of poems I have been working on, experimenting with a process of erasure and restructuring of my own texts (book chapters, essays and conference talks). In a moment when my creative writing practice was feeling uncomfortably fallow, Emma Filtness’ presentation of her erasure work Bandaged Dreams[i], at the Visceral Bodies symposium, April 2023, seemed to suggest a possible way back in. I began to experiment with erasure - though, somewhat unconventionally for erasure poetry, I am both the author of the ‘found’ text and the erasure.
In putting my academic texts through this process, my aim was to give back to the themes of my research the fluidity, ambivalence and uncertainty rightfully theirs, before I tamed them into an academic structure. The original text remains valid, in its own form, but I could sense something else beneath the text, something related to why I write at all. I write because language terrifies me, because language is slippery, always too much and too little. And because, as poet Jennifer S. Cheng suggests, ‘Sometimes it is a broken narrative, a half-language, that brings us to tears.’[ii]
I see this poetry project as a chance to lean into the fragmented, searching element of my writing practice, to which I am sometimes nervous to give free rein, for fear of becoming incomprehensible when what I want to talk about is already difficult to articulate. It is also a way to explore my relationship to ‘academic’ writing, as a first-generation academic. I draw on Jack Halberstam’s questioning of the kinds of knowledge and learning produced by ‘disciplinary correctness’[iii] and the potential for ‘alternative ways of knowing and being’[iv], particularly those explored through Halberstam’s conceptualisation of failure.
More broadly, my poetic-prose and poetry writing practice aims to perform the often ambivalent and contradictory experience of early motherhood. This practice touches upon the embodied nature of care, the effects of motherhood on language, and writing as an act of survival.
Alongside my creative life writing practice, my ongoing PhD research project looks at how, through theories of the spectral, intersectionality, queerness, feminism, disability, failure and anecdote, we might aspire to transform and re-possess language, in an attempt to express those experiences most difficult to put into words. Both my creative and critical practice specifically explore a recurring connection between my experience of motherhood and ideas of haunting, of presence and absence and repetition (daily and generational).

Examining the role of industry lobbying on Canadian front-of-pack labelling regulations
Authors: Lee Jennifer J. , Ziraldo Emily R. , Jeong Hayun , L’Abbé Mary R. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractHealth Canada recently issued a Marketing Authorization to expand the eligibility of the dairy-related exemption for Canadian front-of-pack labelling (FOPL) regulations. The 2024 Marketing Authorization exempts dairy-related products that are a ‘source of calcium,’ rather than only ‘high in’ calcium as previously regulated, from displaying a ‘High in’ front-of-pack nutrition symbol, regardless of their saturated fat and sodium levels. The Marketing Authorization, heavily influenced by the food industry, lacks strong scientific evidence to support its adoption. Although there is a high prevalence of inadequate calcium intakes among Canadians, the Marketing Authorization will exempt more dairy-related products that are significant contributors of saturated fat and sodium for Canadians. While providing very little calcium, many dairy-related products, particularly cheese products, are ‘high in’ saturated fat and/or sodium. Expanding the exemption criteria will allow dairy-related products with little health benefits to be reflected as ‘healthy’ (i.e., not display a ‘High in’ nutrition symbol), blunting the potential impact that FOPL regulations could have on improving the diets of Canadians. We strongly urge Health Canada to reconsider the expansion of the exemption and encourage others to conduct policy-relevant research and participate in the policy decision-making process to promote evidence-informed public health policies for the health of Canadians.
Алкоголь и алкогольная политика в России за 150 лет
Authors: Андреев Евгений Михайлович , Чурилова Елена Владимировна 
Published: October 2024

Влияние алкоголя на смертность населения России в настоящее время одно из самых высоких в мире. В статье на основе официальных данных о связанной с алкоголем смертности, документов об антиалкогольной политике, публикаций современников и материалов Ижевского обследования семей анализируются динамика потребления алкоголя, влияние потребления алкоголя на смертность и государственная алкогольная политика.
Официальная статистика смертности от пьянства появилась в 1870 г. В статье в качестве индикатора уровня потребления алкоголя рассчитаны стандартизованные индексы смертности мужчин от алкогольных отравлений и внешних причин смерти.
В статье анализируется 150-летний период с 1870 г. по настоящее время, в течение которого в России со стороны государства предпринимались различные попытки снизить влияние алкоголя на здоровье мужчин. В арсенале методов воздействия на уровень потребления алкоголя со стороны государства в разные периоды истории были повышение акцизов, государственная монополия на водочную торговлю, ограничение времени и мест продажи алкоголя, борьба с самогоноварением. Однако ни одну из ранее предпринятых попыток воздействия на потребление алкоголя нельзя назвать удачной, все они вели лишь к кратковременному снижению потребления алкоголя и смертности от него. Одна из причин неудач, по мнению авторов, состоит в том, что в алкогольной политике сочетались противоречивые стремления снизить влияние алкоголя на здоровье населения и повысить доходы государства от продажи алкоголя.
Во второй половине ХХ века обнаружилось, что экономические трудности ведут к росту потребления алкоголя. В это же время в населении России сформировалась группа мужчин с высоким риском смерти в результате потребления алкоголя, существование которой определяет неудовлетворительное состояние мужской смертности. Вероятно, попытки воздействовать на потребление алкоголя без учета существования этой группы не могут быть успешными.
