Published: February 2025

Abstract
A healthy lifestyle encompasses physical, mental, and emotional well-being, with healthcare and nutrition as central components. For those with chronic diseases such as diabetes, effective self-management involves continuous monitoring and dietary adjustments. Understanding the glycemic index (GI) is vital, as it indicates how carbohydrates affect blood sugar levels. Advancements in artificial intelligence have enhanced diabetes management through food image recognition systems, which identify food items and provide nutritional information, helping individuals track their dietary intake and GI consumption effectively. Despite their high performance, existing systems often lack inclusivity for diverse cuisines, such as Moroccan cuisine, which is known for its unique dishes of spices and health benefits. This study addresses these gaps by proposing the first comprehensive Moroccan food dataset, comprising 8,300 images across 70 food categories. The research subsequently proposes an advanced model to enhance food image recognition accuracy using convolutional neural network and attention mechanisms achieving more than 90% accuracy. In addition, estimating the GI values of Moroccan foods will help to raise public awareness of their health implications and facilitate decision-making on dietary self-management. The results demonstrate state-of-the-art performance, indicating promising potential for the first GI estimation of Moroccan food images.
Existence of the Chapman–Enskog solution and its relation with first-order dissipative fluid theories
Authors: García-Perciante Ana Laura , Méndez Alma Rosa , Sarbach Olivier 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The conditions for the existence of the Chapman–Enskog first-order solution to the Boltzmann equation for a dilute gas are examined from two points of view. The traditional procedure is contrasted with a somehow more formal approach based on the properties of the linearized collision operator. It is shown that both methods lead to the same integral equation in the non-relativistic scenario. Meanwhile, for relativistic systems, the source term in the integral equation adopts two different forms. However, as we explain, this does not lead to an inconsistency. In fact, the constitutive equations that are obtained from both methods are shown to be equivalent within relativistic first-order theories. The importance of stating invariant definitions for the transport coefficients in this context is emphasized.
Adaptive computation of elliptic eigenvalue topology optimization with a phase-field approach
Authors: Li Jing , Xu Yifeng , Zhu Shengfeng 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In this paper, we study adaptive approximations of an elliptic eigenvalue optimization problem in a phase-field setting by a conforming finite element method. An adaptive algorithm is proposed and implemented in several two-dimensional numerical examples for illustration of efficiency and accuracy. Theoretical findings consist in the vanishing limit of a subsequence of estimators and the convergence of the relevant subsequence of adaptively-generated solutions to a solution to the continuous optimality system.
Dynamic excellence in magnetorheological shear stiffening gel: fabrication and formulation of a diagonal and distributional particle chain model
Authors: Lin Xiaoguo , Guo Fei , Li Zhi , Du Chengbin 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
A series of magnetorheological shear stiffening gels (MRSSGs) were produced by incorporating varying amounts of carbonyl iron powder (CIP) into a shear stiffening gel (SSG) matrix. The dynamic excellence of MRSSG was evaluated using a rheometer. MRSSGs possess magnetic-sensitive properties and can autonomously respond to external stimuli because of B–O cross-linked bonds. In examining the effect of angular frequency on the magneto-induced shear modulus, an initial angle was introduced, leading to the establishment of a diagonal and distributional particle chain model. This model serves to indirectly illustrate the relationship between the magneto-induced modulus and the shear angular frequency. Theoretical results of magneto-induced modulus, derived from modeling calculations and analyses, align well with experimental findings as magnetic induction intensity varies across different excitation angular frequencies. Additionally, the magneto-induced modulus exhibits an increase that gradually approaches saturation with rising magnetic induction intensity.

Furthermore, it is shown that all matrices lying between two matrices of this class with respect to the checkerboard ordering are contained in this class, too. For both results, we require that the entry in the bottom-right position is negative.
Verletzbarkeit und Gesellschaft: Soziologische Perspektiven auf Vulnerabilität
Authors: Hartmann Eddie , Nungesser Frithjof 
Published: February 2025

Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag leitet das Schwerpunktheft zum Thema „Verletzbarkeit und Gesellschaft“ ein. Er beleuchtet das Verhältnis der Soziologie zum Vulnerabilitätsdiskurs und skizziert den möglichen Beitrag der Soziologie zur Verletzbarkeitsforschung. Wesentlicher Ausgangspunkt ist die Prämisse der doppelten Umstrittenheit von Verletzbarkeit in gesellschaftlichen und wissenschaftlichen Diskursen. Unter Rückgriff auf die im Heft versammelten Studien stellt der Beitrag zunächst vier soziologische Perspektiven auf gesellschaftliche Verletzbarkeiten vor. Fokussiert werden können demnach, 1) die soziale Erzeugung und Strukturierung von Verletzbarkeiten, 2) deren Problematisierung und Politisierung, 3) Verletzbarkeitsvorstellungen als erklärendes Moment sozialer Prozesse und 4) die Konstitution von Verletzbarkeits- und Verletzungserfahrungen. Zudem wird argumentiert, dass sich jede soziologische Vulnerabilitätsanalyse zu vier Hintergrundaspekten – methodologischen, forschungsethischen, sozialtheoretischen und normativen – verhalten muss.
Time-resolved aperiodic and oscillatory dynamics during human visual memory encoding
Authors: Preston Michael , Schaworonkow Natalie , Voytek Bradley 
Published: February 2025

Biological neural networks translate sensory information into neural code that is held in memory over long timescales. Theories for how this occurs often posit a functional role of neural oscillations. However, recent advances show that neural oscillations are often confounded with non-oscillatory, aperiodic neural activity. Here we analyze a dataset of intracranial human EEG recordings (N=13; 10 female) to test the hypothesis that aperiodic activity plays a role in visual memory, independent and distinct from oscillations. By leveraging a new approach to time-resolved parameterization of neural spectral activity, we find event-related changes in both oscillations and aperiodic activity during memory encoding. During memory encoding, aperiodic-adjusted alpha oscillatory power significantly decreases while, simultaneously, aperiodic neural activity “flattens out”. These results provide novel evidence for task-related dynamics of both aperiodic and oscillatory activity in human memory, paving the way for future investigations into the unique functional roles of these two neural processes in human cognition.Significance StatementNeural oscillations have been extensively implicated in memory encoding. However, recent advances show that oscillations are often confounded with aperiodic activity, motivating further investigation of aperiodic dynamics in memory. Here we analyze a dataset of intracranial human EEG recordings to test the hypothesis that aperiodic activity plays a role in memory, distinct from oscillations. By leveraging a new approach to time-resolved spectral parameterization, we find event-related changes in both oscillations and aperiodic activity. Based on our observations, we posit a speculative role for aperiodic activity in cognition, complementary to that of neural oscillations, in a form of neural communication through aperiodic dynamics.
Екологічні наслідки збройних конфліктів у глобальному вимірі
Authors: Згуровський Михайло Захарович 
Published: February 2025

Від початку XXI ст. збройні конфлікти спричинили безпрецедентну деградацію довкілля, особливо в Африці, на Близькому Сході та у Східній Європі (Україна). Головні наслідки, пов’язані з руйнуванням лісів, втратою біорізноманіття, забрудненням води, підвищенням рівня викидів CO₂, наближають екосистеми до критичних меж. Розраховані у статті значення індексів екологічної деградації (EDI = 9,48), екологічного сліду (EF = 8 695 000 га) та стійкості екосистем (ERI = 0,09) свідчать про наростання воєнних і екологічних криз у світі з горизонтом до 2050 р., а саме: виснаження ресурсів, масові міграції та колапс екосистем. Ці тенденції корелюють з висновками сформульованої у статті гіпотези «Конфлікт XXI століття», яка, на жаль, підтверджується реальними даними за 2000—2023 рр., отриманими з аналітичних центрів Uppsala Conflict Data Program та Conflict Barometer від Heidelberg Institute for International Conflict Research. Для унеможливлення незворотних наслідків для людства необхідно негайно вжити глобальних заходів, спрямованих на упередження та запобігання збройним конфліктам, а також зосередити зусилля на відновленні екосистем.
Новітня історія України в пострадянських білоруських підручниках та посібниках
Authors: Артимишин Павло Іванович 
Published: February 2025

У доповіді комплексно проаналізовано збірні образи України та українців у контексті новітньої історії, характерні для пострадянських білоруських підручників та посібників. Простежено трансформацію підходів білоруських авторів упродовж 1991—2024 рр. щодо Першої світової війни, Української революції 1917—1921 рр., становлення та існування СРСР, відродження незалежності України в 1991 р. та її розвитку в пострадянських умовах. Зазначено, що на відміну від російських істориків, які відразу після початку російського повномасштабного вторгнення в Україну оперативно почали вносити зміни в гуманітарні навчальні видання, в білоруській дидактиці історії, за винятком тенденційного видання 2022 р., присвяченого історії Другої світової війни, ці трансформації поки що є значно інертнішими.

Published: February 2025

AbstractSystems based on mobile multirobots have gained considerable attention in the past two decades because of their efficacy and flexibility in various real-world applications. An essential component of these systems is multi-robot task allocation (MRTA), which concerns allocating tasks to mobile robots in an efficient manner. The effectiveness of MRTA is influenced by the size of the search space and computational time, and both increase substantially as the number of tasks and robots involved increases. This study introduces an effective solution to the MRTA problem by employing a two-stage approach. First, nearby tasks are automatically grouped into clusters by using an enhanced dynamic distributed particle swarm optimization algorithm. Second, mobile robots are assigned to the closest clusters. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach. Simulations are conducted to compare the proposed method with particle swarm optimization and differential evolution approaches. Numerical results confirm that the proposed approach exhibits highly competitive performance in terms of clustering cost, clustering time, and overall time (clustering and assigning time). This approach is advantageous for real-world applications involving numerous robots and targets.

AbstractThis study examined the effect of grapefruit seed extract (GSE) (0%–3%) on the stability of total phenolic content (TPC), anthocyanins, and colour in aronia juice under heat treatments (60 °C, 80 °C for up to 120 min). TPC and anthocyanins were measured using spectrophotometry and HPLC. The highest TPC (8545.02 ± 355.55 GAE mg L−1) was measured in aronia juice with 1% GSE after 60 min at 80 °C. The highest anthocyanin retention (3178.75 mg L−1) was detected in the sample with 1% GSE after 5 min at 60 °C. Cyanidin-3-galactoside was the most abundant anthocyanin, followed by cyanidin-3-xyloside and cyanidin-3-arabinoside. Cyanidin-3-arabinoside showed the lowest heat stability, while cyanidin-3-galactoside was relatively more stable. This study, the first to evaluate anthocyanin half-life values in chokeberry juice, suggests that 1% GSE enhances colour stability during heat treatment, supporting its use as a natural food additive.

Published: February 2025

The production of male guppies is more desirable due to it higher selling value than females. One way to produce male guppies is change it sex, namely masculinization which can be enhanced through the addition of coconut water, with high potassium level. Potassium can convert all cholesterol in the larvae into pregnenolone, which functions to convert estrogen into progesterone and produces testosterone. Hormones required in sex change can be supplemented by the oral method through feed. The research, which was conducted from November 2022 - March 2023, was divided into two stages, first is to determine the dosage of coconut water and the second one is to determine the appropriate coconut water sterilization method. Each stage used a completely randomized design with four treatments and four replicates. Doses of coconut water added to feed were 0.06 ml/g feed, 0.09 ml/g feed, 0.12 ml/g feed, and 0.15 ml/g feed. The sterilization methods conduct in this research are using UV light, autoclave, and ozone. Observation of male genitalia was done after 45 days by observing the urogenital organs and confirmed by hematoxylin-eosin histological staining after 52 and 59 days. The highest percentage of male guppies at 71.75% was produced by the dose of 0.15 ml/g feed, while sterilization treatment produces lower male percentage than control (p<0.05). No significant difference in fish survival was obtained. Fish survival ranges from 88% - 93%. Thus, the addition of 0.15 ml of coconut water to feed is the most effective treatment in producing male guppies.

Background. Niemann – Pick disease (NPD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by acid sphingomyelinase deficiency and characterized by impaired intracellular lipids’ transport leading to accumulation of cholesterol and glycosphingolipids in the cells. Olipudase alfa was registered as the drug for enzyme replacement therapy in 2022. There are only two studies and one observation published on the results of its implementation in children. Olipudase alfa efficacy and safety have not been studied in Russian studies.Clinical case description. Girl, 1 year 5 months old, was diagnosed with insufficient weight gain and dyspeptic syndrome. Subsequently the child was followed up with various gastroenterological diagnoses for 1.5 years. Diagnosis of NPD type B was established at the age of 3 years 4 months, it was confirmed by revealing acid sphingomyelinase activity decrease to 0.11 mmol/l/h and nucleotide variant in the SMPD1 gene. Therapy with olipudase alfa was initiated at the age of 3 years 10 months with increasing dosage (from 0.03 mg/kg to therapeutic — 3 mg/kg of body weight, 11 injections in total), intravenously, drop infusion, once in 2 weeks. Clinical progression of the disease has stopped (with persistent hepatosplenomegaly), positive changes in laboratory parameters of the disease activity were revealed (with persistence of high (66 U/L) aspartate aminotransferase activity), and increasing of body weight (however, physical development remains below average, –1 to –2 SD) was noted within 24 weeks of therapy.Conclusion. The combination of hepatosplenomegaly, increased transaminase activity and cholesterol levels, gastroenterological symptoms, and insufficient body weight gain should rise doctors’ awareness of orphan disease in a child. Timely diagnosis of NPD is crucial for early enzyme replacement therapy initiation (that is currently available). We have shown that olipudase alfa can help us to maintain child’s vital activity, to achieve positive clinical and laboratory dynamics, and to reach slow recovery of the child’s physical development.

Published: February 2025

O acesso aos serviços de saúde constitui um dos principais desafios enfrentados para a universalização e efetivação do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) como modelo de política pública de assistência à saúde da população brasileira. Assim o presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a vivência do cuidador do paciente com necessidade especial (PNE) sobre acessibilidade ao atendimento odontológico realizado na Unidade de Diagnóstico Oral e Odontologia para Pacientes Especiais (UDOPE) em Aracaju/SE. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório e descritivo de análise qualitativa realizado entre maio a junho de 2024 com cuidadores de PNE atendidos na UDOPE. As entrevistas foram gravadas, transcritas, organizadas e analisadas por meio da análise de conteúdo com auxílio do Interface R e do Software IRAMUTEQ. Entrevistou-se 41 cuidadores dos PNE, dos mais variados municípios de Sergipe. Os PNE eram em 20 do sexo feminino e 21 do sexo masculino, com média de idade de 23 anos. Sobre o tipo de necessidade, os pacientes eram diagnosticados com mais de uma necessidade, sendo autismo 12, deficiência intelectual 18, microcefalia 9, paralisia cerebral 7, Síndrome de Down 8. Para análise qualitativa foram considerados cuidadores que não residiam em Aracaju, sendo estes em número de 28. Na análise de Reinert identificou-se 7 classes temáticas, sendo elas sobre estrutura de acesso oferecida ao PNE para realização do atendimento, dificuldades encontradas, funcionamento do transporte sanitário e especificidades das necessidades especiais que denotam condições especiais de transporte. O teste Qui-quadrado (χ2) apontou maior grau de significância estatística para as palavras na classe 3 com a palavra “apoio”, seguida pela classe 1 com a palavra “marcar”, mostrando associacição entre as palavras. Na análise de similitude e na nuvem de palavras as mais prevalentes foram transporte e não, mostrando associação entre as palavras.Apesar dos cuidadores alegarem que é oferecido transporte todos os dias para virem ao atendimento, estes alegam problemas como tipo de transporte oferecido, lotação dos mesmos e demora para retornarem ao municipio de origem, além de questões específicas de cada necessidade.

Interseccionalidad crítica en la educación de adultxs: experiencias en diálogo
Authors: Visotsky-Hasrun Jessica 
Published: February 2025

El artículo analiza la interseccionalidad crítica como enfoque para comprender las múltiples opresiones que afectan a mujeres racializadas, migrantes y trabajadoras en América Latina. A partir de una metodología de investigación participante, el estudio recupera experiencias en educación de adultxs en contextos de alfabetización junto a migrantes, en la educación secundaria de adultxs, -incluso en fábricas recuperadas- y en contextos de encierro. Se evidencian desigualdades estructurales que atraviesan la vida de estas mujeres, manifestadas en la exclusión educativa, la precarización laboral y la violencia de género. Los hallazgos destacan que el acceso a la educación es condicionado por estructuras de poder patriarcales y racistas, reproduciendo la marginalización. La discusión enfatiza la necesidad de una interseccionalidad crítica que incorpore perspectivas feministas comunitarias y territoriales del Abya Yala, en contraposición a su apropiación desde usos descriptivos desde instituciones con intereses contrarios a las luchas y demandas que envolvió y envuelve esta categoría. El artículo reivindica los enfoques situados y la producción colectiva de conocimientos como estrategias de resistencia y transformación social.
