Background
Orally transmitted acute Chagas disease (ACD) primarily affects low-visibility and low-income individuals in tropical and subtropical zones. Managing ACD remains challenging even after more than 100 years of its discovery. Its spread to non-endemic areas has made it a global health issue. The aim of this work is to demonstrate the difficulties encountered in handling a real-life situation.

Methodology and findings
This report examines an outbreak of 39 cases of ACD due to oral transmission by bacaba juice ingestion that occurred in Pedro do Rosário, Maranhão, Brazil. A clinical and epidemiological investigation, including an entomological search, was conducted. Diagnosis criteria included positive peripheral blood smear (PBS), seroconversion of IgG, and a two-fold increase in IgG titer (laboratory criteria); and clinical findings, epidemiological exposure, and at least one positive IgG test (clinical-epidemiological criteria). In-house conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed on 33 samples. All patients were treated with benznidazole. After 4.5 years, IgG levels were reassessed in 26 individuals. The mean age was 33.6 years, with no gender difference. The mean incubation period was 13.8 days, and the mean between symptom onset and treatment was 16.6 days. The most common symptoms were fever and lymphadenopathy (90%). Diagnostic success rates were 66.6% (laboratory criteria), 23% (clinical-epidemiological criteria), and 10.2% (high clinical suspicion despite negative tests). Test positivity rates were 69.7% (PBS), 91.4% (serology), and 100% (PCR). There were no deaths. Serological cure was achieved in 34.6% of cases, and IgG titers decreased in 15.3%.

Conclusions and significance
We encountered several barriers in managing ACD, including population vulnerability, reliance on outdated diagnostic techniques, lack of standardized molecular biology methods, and limited therapeutic options. This report underscores the importance of rapid surveillance and early treatment to prevent fatalities. We recommend the standardization of conventional PCR in diagnostic routines.
The Sanctions Principles-Based Regulation: A Blueprint for a New Approach for the EU Sanctions Policy (Part I)
Authors: Khort Iuliia

Abstract

192
Despite the tremendous number of studies devoted to the effectiveness of economic sanctions, the unprecedented number of sanctions applied and the recent European Union (EU) reforms on sanctions, sanctions effectiveness should be still a matter of debate. More than a year after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but G7-led sanctions have not materially hindered Russia’s war effort. This study intends to address this problem by focusing on how to make the use and application of EU sanctions against Russia more effective. In doing so, I argue that the main impediments to EU sanctions effectiveness are systemic in nature and inherent to the EU sanctions policy framework. The piecemeal changes of the EU sanctions regulatory framework undertaken so far have not solved these systemic flaws that undermine the effectiveness of EU sanctions. A fundamental revision of the entire system of the EU sanctions policy framework is needed. This study proposes implementing a comprehensive principles-based framework for EU sanctions policy, where harmonisation and the risk-based approach are its foundations, to make sanctions more effective. The proposed sanctions principles-based framework is broader in its scope than is currently the case; it covers a broader set of principles. The proposed frame includes all the stages of the sanctions process, is addressed to a broader number of actors and its foundations are developed. I recommend that this sanctions principles-based framework should be mandatory for use. This is the first part of a two-part article. Part I of the article discusses the need for the revision of the regulatory approach to the EU sanctions policy to increase the effectiveness of sanctions. It includes the analysis of the EU sanctions as a foreign policy instrument and a comprehensive overview of the EU regulatory framework on sanctions as well as the analysis of imposition of the EU sanctions against Russia. Part I also discusses policy proposals for the effectiveness of the EU sanctions, such as harmonisation of the EU sanction policy and the application of a sanctions risk-based approach.

Rabbit fish (Siganus vermiculatus) is one of the biological resources in the sea that is widely consumed by the people in Maluku. Rabbit fish are caught during low tide with nets or by using natural resources to poison the fish, such as tuba root (Derris elliptica), which contains rotenone to make fish easy to catch. This study aimed to determining the concentration of tuba root extract that was effective against damage to the liver tissue of rabbit fish. Rabbit fish and tuba root were collected from Oma Village, Haruku Island, Central Maluku District, Maluku Province. In the study, a laboratory experiment was conducted in which the tuba root was treated with doses of 0.1 g, 0.3 g, 0.5 g and 1 g with an exposure time of 18 to 24 hours. Data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan's post-hoc test. As a result, the lowest level of liver damage in rabbit fish was observed at a dose of 0.1 g, with a total damage of 7 ± 0.00 and 8.5 ± 0.71. Conversely, the highest level of liver damage was observed at a dose of 1 g, with a total damage of 14 ± 0.00 and 15 ± 0.00. The results of the post hoc test showed a subset value of 0.1 g dose (7.75), 0.3 g dose (9.25), 0.5 g dose (12.00), and 1 g dose (14.50). This research indicates that administering tuba root to rabbit fish can result in damage to the liver's structure. The severity of this damage is contingent upon the dose administered, whereas exposure duration does not affect the level of damage to fish organs.
El exilio centroamericano y su aporte a la Sociedad costarricense a partir de la Segunda mitad del siglo XX

Historically, Costa Rica, as well as Mexico, have been receptive poles of Latin American exile in the region. Exile has been an enriching phenomenon for the receiving countries while drying out the expelling country. The consequences of the departure of professionals, intellectuals, and artists, generally the most enlightened minds, are paid for decades.
It is also necessary to know how to differentiate the characteristics of the different exiles, which generally arrive in waves for specific periods: there are massive ones that include expatriates who fall under other classifications, such as refugees, for example, or migrations, not always legal, that are incorporated into the labor force of the city and the countryside and permeate behaviors and customs of daily life in the city and the countryside. and customs of the daily life of the local working sectors. This essay is concerned with the contribution of Central American exiles, in general, to Costa Rica, specifically the cultural contribution, since, as I assert, Central Americans have been incorporated into Costa Rica in many different areas, and in some they are decisive as a labor force that sustains important productive and service tasks, which implies the possibility of economic approaches that, as I say, are beyond the scope of these reflections.

Представлены результаты реологических измерений низкотемпературного состава гелеобразующей композиции на неорганической основе (ГАЛКА®), разработанной в Институте химии нефти СО РАН. Исследования выполнены на реометре Haake Viscotester IQ с использованием геометрии СС25 (режим осцилляции при частоте 1 Гц) при различных температурах. В ходе амплитудного теста определен диапазон значений деформации и напряжения, соответствующие диапазону линейной вязкоупругости. При заданном значении амплитуды деформации из диапазона линейной вязкоупругости определены зависимости модуля комплексной вязкости (|h*|), модуля упругости (модуля накопления, G¢), модуля вязкости (модуля потерь, G¢¢) от времени при значениях температуры 38, 30 и 20 °С. Охарактеризована кинетика процесса образования геля, по наибольшему значению модуля упругости оценена максимальная прочность сформировавшейся структуры, определены время формирования последней и точки начала гелеобразования.
The results of rheological measurements of a low-temperature composition based on inorganic components developed at the Institute of Petroleum Chemistry SB RAS (GALKA ® ) are presented. The studies were carried out with a Haake Viscotester IQ rheometer using CC25 geometry (oscillation mode at a frequency of 1 Hz) at different temperatures. The amplitude test determined the range of strain and stress amplitude values corresponding to the range of linear viscoelasticity. For a given value of the deformation amplitude from the range of linear viscoelasticity, the dependences of the complex viscosity modulus (|η*|), the elastic modulus (storage modulus, G' ), and the viscosity modulus (loss modulus, G'' ) on time were recorded at a temperature of 38, 30, and 20 ºС. The kinetics of the gel formation process was characterized, the maximum strength of the formed structure was estimated from the maximal elastic modulus, the time of its formation and the starting points of gelation were determined.

Исследованы продукты окислительной деструкции асфальтенов тяжелых палеозойских нефтей Ашальчинского и Нурлатского месторождений, различающихся возрастом вмещающих отложений. Показано, что при окислении асфальтенов обеих нефтей пероксидом водорода в присутствии уксусной кислоты идет высвобождение окклюдированных соединений. В их составе идентифицированы н-алканы, стераны, гопаны и метиловые эфиры н-алкановых кислот. Особенностью асфальтенов нурлатской нефти, залегающей в девонских отложениях, является наличие н-алкенов в составе захваченных соединений. Наличие окклюдированных соединений в структуре асфальтенов подтверждается результатами рентгенофазового анализа.
The products of oxidative destruction of asphaltenes of heavy Paleozoic oils from the Ashalcha and Nurlat oilfields differing in the age of host sediments have been studied. It is shown that oxidation of the asphaltenes of both oils by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of acetic acid results in the release of occluded compounds. The compounds identified in their composition include n -alkanes, steranes, hopanes and methyl esters of n -alkane acids. A peculiarity of the asphaltenes of Nurlat oil occurring in the Devonian sediments is the presence of n -alkenes in the composition of occluded compounds. The presence of occluded compounds in the structure of asphaltenes is confirmed by the results of X-ray diffraction.

THERMOKARST LAGOONS, LAPTEV SEA, LAKE SEDIMENTS, LAGOON SEDIMENTS, SEDIMENTOLOGICAL ANALYSIS, PASSEGA DIAGRAM
The results of sedimentological analysis of bottom sediments of the Ivashkina Lagoon on the southern coast of Bykovsky Peninsula (southeast of the Laptev Sea) are presented. Core samples from boreholes drilled in the Holocene thermokarst depression now occupied by the lagoon have been analyzed. The use of grain-size distribution data and Passega C-Md diagrams makes it possible to refine the genetic interpretation of the sediments obtained from field descriptions. The Holocene lacustrine-lagoon and taberal formations and the underlying Middle and Late Pleistocene alluvial sediments have been identified, and their grain-size characteristics have been determined. We have further reconstructed the sequence of their formation while a thermokarst depression had been transformed into a lagoon.

Представлены результаты оценки последствий гипотетического прорывного паводка из озера Дашт (Республика Таджикистан, бассейн р. Шахдара). Расчеты были выполнены с использованием комплекса математических моделей, а именно FLO-2D и FLOVI. Оценка расхода прорывного паводка и селевого потока проводилась в программе FLOVI. В этой программе также оценивалось приращение твердого материала в селевом потоке. Моделирование движения и аккумуляции селевого потока в долине выполнялось в гидродинамической модели FLO-2D. Результаты показали, что внедрение в модель FLO-2D данных, полученных в программе FLOVI с блоком уравнений транспортно-сдвиговой модели, дает более корректные характеристики селя, включая значения расхода, скорости, глубины и площади затопления.
The results of modeling the consequences of a hypothetical outburst flood from Lake Dasht (Tajikistan, the Shakhdara River basin) with the use of FLO-2D and FLOVI mathematical models are presented. The discharges of the outburst flood and debris flow and the increment of solid material in the debris flow have been obtained using the FLOVI program. The debris flow movement and accumulation in the valley have been simulated using the FLO-2D hydrodynamic model. The results indicate that the application of data obtained from the FLOVI program with transport-shift equation block in the FLO-2D model gives more correct characteristics of the debris flow, including the values of flow discharge, velocity, depth, and flooding area.

OBJECTIVE
Iatrogenic blood losses from repetitive laboratory testing are a leading cause of anemia of prematurity and blood transfusions. We used an implementation science approach to decrease iatrogenic blood losses during the first 3 postnatal weeks among very low birth weight infants.

METHODS
We performed qualitative interviews of key stakeholders to assess implementation determinants (ie, barriers and facilitators to reducing iatrogenic blood losses), guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Next, we selected implementation strategies matched to these implementation determinants to de-implement excess laboratory tests. The number of laboratory tests, amount of blood taken (ml/kg), and laboratory charges were compared before and after implementation using quasi-Poisson and multi-variable regression models.

RESULTS
Qualitative interviews with 14 clinicians revealed implementation-related themes, including provider-specific factors, recurring orders, awareness of blood loss and cost, and balance between over- and under-testing. Implementation strategies deployed included resident education, revised order sets, blood loss and cost awareness, audit and feedback, and the documentation of blood out. There were 184 and 170 infants in the pre- and postimplementation cohorts, respectively. There was an 18.5% reduction in laboratory tests (median 54 [36 − 80] versus 44 [29 − 74], P = .01) in the first 3 postnatal weeks, a 17% decrease in blood taken (mean 18.1 [16.4 − 20.1] versus 15 [13.4 − 16.8], P = .01), and an overall reduction of $290 328 in laboratory charges. No difference was noted in the number of blood transfusions. Postimplementation interviews showed no adverse events attributable to implementation strategies.

CONCLUSIONS
An implementation science approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods reduced laboratory tests, blood loss, and charges.
A global fairtrade partnership needed to address injustices in the supply chains of clean energy technology materials
Authors: Nsude Chinedu C. , Wimhurst Joshua J. , Debnath Ramit 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Renewable sources produced close to one-third of the world’s electricity in 2023. However, a limited but growing body of research suggests rapid renewable energy development is leading to conflict and resource exploitation in energy-transitioning communities. Such injustices are attributable to the extractivist nature of renewable energy development, where raw materials, also known as Clean Energy Technology Materials (CETMs), are in limited quantities and often concentrated in resource-constrained zones in the Global South. In this perspective, we call for an urgent need for energy justice considerations in CETM’s supply chain. We used demand projection data from 2020 to 2040 to look into the effects of important CETMs like nickel, cobalt, and lithium on distributive justice. We also examined the potential of these effects to tackle systemic injustices such as conflict, labor exploitation, and transactional colonialism. Next, we analyzed global mining production data from the United States Geological Survey using a CETM life cycle lens and found that increasing demand for these materials is exacerbating restorative injustices, particularly in the Global South. Finally, building on the above evidence, we called for the creation of multi-stakeholder partnerships and the establishment of fair trade standards across the critical CETM supply chain.

Graphical abstract

Highlights
Here, we analyzed the projected demand growth for selected clean energy technology materials by 2040 relative to 2020 levels using data from the International Energy Agency, visualized their global mining production using data from the United States Geological Survey, explained how the demand for these materials is exacerbating certain injustices, and recommended multi-stakeholder partnerships across the supply chain of these materials.

Discussion

The rapid growth of renewable energy technologies is creating injustices throughout the supply chain of clean energy technology materials (CETM).

A lack of any energy justice framework across CETMs’ extraction, processing, decommissioning, and recycling is exacerbating restorative injustices, especially in the Global South.

By examining the projected demands and geospatial patterns for the extraction of minerals, metals, and other materials essential for clean energy technology development, the inequities faced by impoverished, marginalized, and Indigenous communities become apparent.

We argue that if coffee can have fair trade standards across its supply chain, why can’t we have similar considerations for the CETMs?

There is a need to include transparency in the sustainability, ethics, and energy efficiency of CETM extraction and processing through global partnerships across its supply chain.
